Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2314 CWSA 12⧸06⧸23 Lots Of News With Persuasion Angles Today. That's My Jam

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

00:00:15.980 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, the best time you've ever had.

00:00:19.260 How would you like to take it up to levels that even Rob Reiner could never understand?

00:00:24.580 Just randomly picking his name.

00:00:26.140 All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank, a gel, a sty, a kimchi, and a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:34.240 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:35.480 I like coffee.

00:00:36.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better and makes you better, too.

00:00:44.400 It's called Simultaneous Hit It Happens Now.

00:00:47.040 Go.

00:00:50.860 Oh, that's good.

00:00:52.940 Oh, that's so good.

00:00:56.140 Well, just an update.

00:00:59.480 Yesterday, the locals' platform had a little glitch, but that was related to a big technology migration they're going to upgrade their system.

00:01:11.720 So when we get through this little ugly patch, might be a few more bugs, but when we get through that, it will be a lot better, much more stable and functional.

00:01:23.240 So wait for that.

00:01:24.280 All right, well, there's lots of news.

00:01:27.500 Most of the stories are kind of small, so I'll just pound through them.

00:01:31.340 The Washington Post is having a strike.

00:01:34.040 700 or more people.

00:01:38.120 And it was one of the writers, I think, Vanessa Larson.

00:01:41.880 She posted on X that she's so proud to be among 700 or more Washington Post colleagues walking out for 24 hours on Thursday.

00:01:53.020 And she asks people to support our walkout by not reading the Washington Post on Thursday.

00:01:59.860 Well, I can do better than that.

00:02:04.040 I will support you, not just Thursday.

00:02:08.700 I will support you for the rest of my life by not reading the Washington Post.

00:02:14.020 That's right.

00:02:16.860 That intelligence-based, intelligence-driven, fake news, racist publication that still employs Phil Bump.

00:02:30.100 Phil Bump is, to the Washington Post, what President Gay is, to Harvard.

00:02:40.940 An embarrassment to the institution.

00:02:43.620 Although I don't know which is more embarrassing.

00:02:46.000 Is Phil Bump more insulted by being associated with the Washington Post?

00:02:50.280 Or is the Washington Post more damaged by having him on the staff?

00:02:54.320 Hmm.

00:02:54.960 Could work both ways.

00:02:55.880 All right.

00:02:58.600 Starbucks has lost a lot of value, I guess, in their stock because of boycotts based on some political tweets supporting the Palestinians or something.

00:03:10.920 So I don't even know what Starbucks did.

00:03:13.500 But somehow Starbucks is getting injured by whatever's happening in Gaza.

00:03:21.320 Kind of crazy.

00:03:24.200 Poor Starbucks.

00:03:25.880 Boris Johnson is, I guess, having some kind of a COVID inquiry in the UK to find out what really happened and who knew what and all that stuff.

00:03:36.060 And former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has to explain why 5,000 of his WhatsApp messages from the 2020-plus period disappeared.

00:03:45.900 And Boris says, hey, he's not so sure, some kind of technical thing, maybe, something about the app.

00:03:54.360 I don't know, maybe it was uninstalled or when it got reinstalled.

00:03:58.180 You know, maybe something like technology and the app and the something, and then the something happened, but maybe it'd be a glitch and maybe the data disappeared.

00:04:09.140 Something like that.

00:04:10.140 Something like that.

00:04:10.680 Now, when I look at Boris Johnson and I look at his haircut, I say to myself, there's a man who never loses anything.

00:04:17.980 Like his comb, for example.

00:04:29.320 Or his sense of fashion and style, or his sense of fashion and style, for another example.

00:04:35.520 All right.

00:04:36.300 I'm done with that.

00:04:37.940 But I would like to see a list.

00:04:41.020 Maybe we could come up with it here.

00:04:42.820 In the comments, tell me all the things that the UK government and the American government have lost that was important data that the public needed to see.

00:04:54.660 Let's see, let's see, get your Epstein stuff, all things Epstein from his video cameras.

00:05:04.240 Then there's the video of his video cameras of his death.

00:05:08.640 Those are missing because the cameras weren't on.

00:05:11.480 Let's see, you've got Hillary's emails.

00:05:14.780 They just sort of went missing and got destroyed by hammers and whatnot.

00:05:19.360 You've got the January 6th, the entire January 6th testimony.

00:05:24.120 It's all mysteriously missing.

00:05:27.220 What else is missing?

00:05:30.020 Yeah.

00:05:31.080 Oh, there's no video of Chauvin being attacked in prison, at least that we've seen.

00:05:39.600 Yeah, Jimmy Hoffa is still missing.

00:05:41.800 And what about the 2020 election?

00:05:47.420 Are there any machines that don't have the data that they were supposed to store?

00:05:52.300 Yeah, a lot of election data is missing.

00:05:55.760 We haven't seen the UAP videos.

00:05:58.340 I'm sure they exist, but they must be missing.

00:06:01.780 Yeah, the Epstein jail video.

00:06:03.800 So, yeah, it seems like there's just a lot of things missing.

00:06:13.340 Just a lot of things missing.

00:06:16.200 Anyway, here's a trend you should watch.

00:06:22.020 So China has a company that's using AI to build indoor vertical gardens.

00:06:28.300 Now, why is this a big deal?

00:06:29.860 Well, indoor gardens, you know, greenhouses have been around forever, but they haven't quite replaced outdoor gardening for basic economic reasons.

00:06:42.140 But you'd think that someday they would, because your indoor gardening is going to be better on water, much easier on water.

00:06:50.760 It's going to be better on keeping the insects out, much better.

00:06:54.400 It's going to be potentially better at managing light, if you do it right.

00:07:00.760 But the one problem they had was still space, and, of course, you've got labor.

00:07:07.520 But robots and AI could kind of solve that for you, and also building vertically.

00:07:15.240 So instead of putting everything on the ground where you run out of space, they can just build shelves and keep going up to the ceiling.

00:07:24.400 Now, if you have shelves to the ceiling, you've got twice as much work problem, right?

00:07:29.720 Because you've got to get somebody up there to look around and adjust things.

00:07:34.300 But if you had a robot, a robot with a couple of arms and some AI, the robot would not only know how much light and water and when to plant,

00:07:44.760 and how to get rid of any weeds, if there were, I think.

00:07:47.360 And the other benefit is you wouldn't need insecticide, so you'd have less chemicals, fewer chemicals.

00:07:55.900 So basically, indoor gardens should be the way that we go.

00:08:01.260 If you can get it, just get the economics down, you know, some little extra.

00:08:06.260 Every house you build would have its own garden.

00:08:08.200 Imagine a room in your house, which just has a robot like a Roomba, that's just working all day and all night, just making sure everything's good in there.

00:08:19.140 And it has an AI, so it can actually look at your plant and know what's wrong.

00:08:24.680 You can just look at it and say, oh, it looks like it needs a little water.

00:08:27.200 I think that AI plus vertical shelves is right at the edge, right at the edge of where it's going to make more sense to be indoors, I think.

00:08:43.240 And then, you know, maybe you add little solar panels to drive the robot and stuff.

00:08:49.660 But I think once your labor goes down to practically zero, and you can use the space better, and then the AI makes sure that your crop is way better than it would have been, it's going to be a big deal.

00:09:03.000 Indoor gardens, mark my words.

00:09:05.860 Kim Jong-un had an event, I guess he was talking about the women in North Korea not having enough babies, and he actually wept.

00:09:14.680 He actually cried in public.

00:09:16.620 Kim Jong-un did, because they weren't having enough babies.

00:09:21.780 Now, I don't know that just telling people to have more babies is going to work when people are starving.

00:09:28.480 I would think that starving and living in a repressive regime should have the natural effect of making people want to have fewer babies.

00:09:37.520 I don't know how he's going to solve that.

00:09:41.280 But even Kim Jong-un is probably seeing that they're in a death spiral,

00:09:45.060 because at their current rate, they will not have enough young people.

00:09:50.760 Big problem for everybody.

00:09:53.100 Well, speaking of countries that have that problem, China's got that problem.

00:09:57.220 But beyond that, Mooney's just cut China's credit and looked at negative on rising debt risk.

00:10:03.340 So, I don't know if I've mentioned this, but China is unsafe for business.

00:10:09.140 I don't know if their debt situation is going to be worse than the United States.

00:10:13.680 But I feel like there's going to be some kind of thing happening in the future that I can't even imagine,

00:10:21.300 in which debt will go away.

00:10:24.500 Did you hear Warren Buffett's solution for solving our debt problem?

00:10:29.900 He says he can solve it tomorrow.

00:10:33.140 All you do is pass a law that says if you're a member of Congress and you don't keep our debt below 3% GDP,

00:10:43.120 that you automatically are unqualified to run for office.

00:10:48.340 You can't run for re-election if the debt is above a certain percentage of the GDP.

00:10:54.340 Now, that's easy to say, but of course nobody's going to pass a bill like that.

00:10:58.920 But even if we had one, you think it would work?

00:11:03.780 Probably not.

00:11:06.420 Probably not.

00:11:09.820 All right.

00:11:11.520 Our dumbest vice president is reportedly, according to the Wall Street Journal,

00:11:16.940 is taking on a bigger role in advising the White House on the Israel-Hamas war.

00:11:21.760 So here are some of the insightful things that our dumbest vice president is recommending.

00:11:30.320 Now, see if anybody ever thought of these things before.

00:11:34.560 These are so insightful.

00:11:38.360 Apparently, she's pushing officials to articulate more empathy for Palestinians.

00:11:42.720 Well, nobody thought of that before.

00:11:47.120 Huh.

00:11:48.300 Empathy for non-combatants who are dying in a war.

00:11:52.680 I've never heard of that before.

00:11:54.800 Okay, that might be a good idea, Kamala.

00:11:57.280 Also, the most obvious idea in the history of obvious ideas.

00:12:02.620 But does she have something better than that?

00:12:05.160 Does she have something better than the most obvious idea in the history of obvious ideas?

00:12:09.400 She says, yes, they should focus on post-conflict Gaza plan.

00:12:17.500 So they should spend more time talking about rebuilding Gaza.

00:12:21.940 Who told you that?

00:12:23.980 I did.

00:12:25.840 Yeah, it's the same advice I've given.

00:12:27.600 But it's also the same advice that Israel would give you.

00:12:29.980 It's the same advice everybody would give you.

00:12:32.120 Which is, if you don't describe where you're going, it's harder to get people to want to go there.

00:12:37.840 So she's right.

00:12:40.340 But these are the most obvious things that you could ever advise.

00:12:45.960 And I kind of didn't really need her for any of this.

00:12:50.460 Well, in other news, the X platform is moving ahead to become a payment processing app,

00:12:57.480 in addition to being everything else.

00:12:59.000 And they've got licenses now for processing payments in a dozen U.S. states.

00:13:04.600 But they probably have to get most of the states or all of them before they can go live.

00:13:09.860 But that's happening.

00:13:10.780 To me, that's a really big deal.

00:13:15.460 Because, you know, if you've got a gazillion people on the app, and let me ask,

00:13:21.380 how many of you in the course of a week, in a normal week,

00:13:26.200 how many of you would send money on some digital app?

00:13:31.240 Whether it's Venmo, or Google Pay, or Cash App.

00:13:35.120 How many of you use any kind of a digital app at least once per week?

00:13:42.300 In Zelle.

00:13:43.020 Yeah, Zelle's one.

00:13:43.660 A lot of yeses, few noes.

00:13:48.160 I don't know how you avoid it.

00:13:50.400 I feel like I use it almost every day for one thing or another.

00:13:56.740 Well, so I think putting the payment thing into X is going to be a big deal,

00:14:02.860 because you're already there.

00:14:04.880 All right.

00:14:05.120 So, NVIDIA, which makes these advanced chips, which do, among other things,

00:14:14.220 they're the perfect chip for AI.

00:14:16.980 But the United States is trying to keep NVIDIA from shipping their best chips to China,

00:14:22.060 because we don't want China to be as good as we are at AI.

00:14:26.700 It could be dangerous.

00:14:28.820 But NVIDIA is arguing that they can tweak these chips so that they're degraded in some way,

00:14:34.740 and not as good as ours.

00:14:37.780 But we'll see about that.

00:14:40.500 I guess China has been as much as 20% of NVIDIA's revenue.

00:14:47.640 Keep an eye on that.

00:14:49.740 Do you think you can really keep China out of the AI game

00:14:52.820 by making sure that their chips are not as good as ours?

00:14:57.800 I don't know.

00:14:58.940 I feel like it's going to drive China to have their own chip manufacturing.

00:15:03.160 But why wouldn't they have it already?

00:15:06.420 Well, what would prevent China from having their own chip industry?

00:15:11.340 Is it the equipment you need to build the industry?

00:15:16.440 That they would have to build up all kinds of...

00:15:18.860 Because I guess it's the same problem in the United States, right?

00:15:21.740 The United States doesn't have the chip industry it used to have.

00:15:25.200 And it's hard to make it.

00:15:29.000 Because, you know, I guess maybe it's trademarks and copyrights and patents.

00:15:35.740 I don't know.

00:15:37.000 I don't know what...

00:15:37.960 I just don't know what prevents any major industrialized country

00:15:42.400 from making their own chips.

00:15:44.760 I'd love to know what's so hard about that,

00:15:46.800 that only Taiwan can do it.

00:15:48.860 So we need to know more about that.

00:15:55.480 An expert who you should listen to, Bruce Schneer,

00:16:00.320 he's one of these cybersecurity expert types.

00:16:03.400 And he's got an editorial in Slate in which he says that the era of AI

00:16:07.820 is going to be an era of mass spying.

00:16:11.420 Now, what he means by that is that in the old days,

00:16:15.860 if you had a reason to spy on one person,

00:16:18.240 let's say you had a reason to suspect them,

00:16:21.500 you could get a warrant and then you could, you know,

00:16:24.740 legally spy on that one person's communications.

00:16:27.780 But if you have AI,

00:16:30.380 you have the option of sort of just watching everybody

00:16:33.560 and having the AI summarize what they're saying

00:16:37.000 and putting it into some important context

00:16:39.680 as to whether they might be a terrorist or a criminal.

00:16:43.400 And then, what are you going to do about it?

00:16:47.480 Would it be...

00:16:48.200 First of all, would it be legal

00:16:49.600 for AI to look through everybody's communications

00:16:54.300 and it's not a human, right?

00:16:57.580 It's not a human looking through communications.

00:17:00.140 But if it finds something,

00:17:01.840 then maybe it would flag it for the humans.

00:17:05.060 Is that fair?

00:17:07.000 Well, no, we do that already.

00:17:10.600 You're talking about the current situation.

00:17:13.260 You know, banks have been doing that for, I don't know,

00:17:16.360 40 years.

00:17:18.840 Banks have always run software

00:17:20.700 that doesn't accuse a specific anybody of anything,

00:17:25.300 but it looks at all their transactions

00:17:26.940 and it looks for anything that has a pattern

00:17:31.560 that suggests fraud.

00:17:33.460 Because there's patterns.

00:17:34.660 And when it sees a pattern,

00:17:36.980 it surfaces it for the humans.

00:17:40.180 So we've been doing that forever.

00:17:42.760 And I guess that's legal.

00:17:44.280 You know, it's legal for the banks to do it.

00:17:46.480 So I feel like there will be certainly loopholes

00:17:49.100 where AI can do it.

00:17:50.220 So if I haven't told you this before,

00:17:54.700 stop doing anything illegal.

00:17:59.560 If I have to tell you that,

00:18:01.580 you're definitely going to get caught.

00:18:04.400 Anything that you're doing illegal today

00:18:06.560 that you have a digital footprint for,

00:18:09.880 you're definitely going to get caught.

00:18:11.460 You know, maybe this year, next year,

00:18:13.980 in four years.

00:18:15.420 But you're definitely going to get caught.

00:18:17.360 If there's any signs of a crime in your life,

00:18:20.820 you're going to get caught.

00:18:23.680 So you should immediately adjust

00:18:25.820 all of your illegal activities

00:18:27.520 to get rid of them.

00:18:30.140 One of the predictions I made

00:18:32.980 in the late 90s

00:18:35.240 is that technology would eliminate crime.

00:18:38.980 That technology would eliminate crime.

00:18:45.080 And there are several ways

00:18:46.340 I said that would happen.

00:18:47.360 Number one was there would be

00:18:48.600 cheap cameras everywhere.

00:18:51.340 Right?

00:18:51.820 Remember in the 90s,

00:18:53.400 I said the economics of little video cameras

00:18:56.440 would go down so much,

00:18:57.980 there would just be a camera everywhere.

00:19:00.140 And sure enough,

00:19:01.260 there's pretty much a camera everywhere.

00:19:03.700 So there's still crime,

00:19:05.380 but the odds of getting away

00:19:06.820 with lots of different types of crime

00:19:08.920 is going way down.

00:19:12.380 Now, what if AI

00:19:13.540 can find every financial crime?

00:19:17.500 Imagine AI looking for insider trading.

00:19:21.620 It can find it every time.

00:19:24.440 It's not that easy to find insider trading

00:19:26.900 with normal mechanisms.

00:19:29.880 But imagine AI

00:19:31.120 could find the brother-in-law's cousin

00:19:34.640 of the person

00:19:36.380 who had the insider information.

00:19:39.080 I bet we can't do that now.

00:19:41.180 Because the normal way

00:19:42.080 you would get away with insider trading

00:19:44.200 is you'd have somebody else do it.

00:19:46.800 The dumb way to do it

00:19:48.240 is to be,

00:19:49.980 you know,

00:19:50.700 a person in the company

00:19:51.960 that has the insider information

00:19:53.340 and then trade in that

00:19:54.940 a day before the announcement.

00:19:56.760 Right?

00:19:56.920 You're going to get caught.

00:19:58.360 Because the systems do look for that.

00:20:00.420 They look for unusual trades

00:20:01.960 right before big news events.

00:20:04.760 But,

00:20:05.420 if you would simply talk

00:20:07.180 to your cousin in person

00:20:08.660 and said to your cousin,

00:20:10.640 hey,

00:20:11.520 you know,

00:20:12.920 your brother-in-law

00:20:14.300 that nobody will ever connect me to

00:20:17.220 because there's too many jumps,

00:20:19.460 tell him to buy a little bit of this.

00:20:21.200 And by the way,

00:20:22.600 you know,

00:20:23.020 I might be asking that

00:20:24.040 brother-in-law's cousin

00:20:25.700 for a favor someday.

00:20:26.820 So you can work things out

00:20:28.860 so there's a system of benefit

00:20:31.600 that just never shows up on paper.

00:20:34.700 But AI could find it

00:20:35.980 because they know who your cousin is

00:20:38.120 and they know your cousin's friend

00:20:40.020 made a trade.

00:20:41.620 And suddenly,

00:20:42.900 you know,

00:20:43.280 this,

00:20:43.780 this,

00:20:44.440 you know,

00:20:45.660 hiding stuff doesn't work.

00:20:47.660 Now remember Hunter Biden

00:20:48.920 had all these

00:20:49.760 shell corporations.

00:20:53.120 Now that worked

00:20:54.480 because nobody was looking for it.

00:20:56.820 As soon as they were looking for it,

00:20:59.100 they could start to unwind it all.

00:21:01.300 But if you weren't looking for it,

00:21:02.640 you weren't going to discover it.

00:21:04.760 But could AI look for it?

00:21:07.760 Could you,

00:21:08.280 could AI have enough access

00:21:09.800 to enough databases

00:21:10.860 in other countries,

00:21:12.200 et cetera,

00:21:13.120 that it could find

00:21:13.940 all the

00:21:14.640 illicit

00:21:16.100 corporate structures

00:21:17.440 and also figure out

00:21:18.600 how they connect to each other

00:21:19.760 and just draw up the crime?

00:21:22.600 Maybe.

00:21:23.980 Maybe.

00:21:24.320 So I think we're reaching

00:21:26.140 that point

00:21:27.080 I suggested

00:21:27.860 where,

00:21:29.140 you know,

00:21:30.020 we might be dumb enough

00:21:31.100 to let all the criminals out.

00:21:33.080 That's a different story.

00:21:34.680 But we'll have the ability

00:21:35.760 to basically

00:21:36.440 catch any crime.

00:21:39.080 I don't know how you get away

00:21:40.000 with anything.

00:21:43.600 All right.

00:21:45.600 But mass spying,

00:21:46.640 yeah,

00:21:46.780 that's definitely coming.

00:21:48.700 Taylor Swift

00:21:49.500 is the person of the year

00:21:51.460 on Time Magazine.

00:21:54.700 Now,

00:21:55.400 did you ever think

00:21:56.160 that Time Magazine

00:21:56.980 was

00:21:57.800 making their choices

00:21:59.760 based on,

00:22:01.280 you know,

00:22:01.900 objective criteria?

00:22:03.920 Let me explain

00:22:04.640 how the media works.

00:22:06.960 Time Magazine

00:22:07.540 makes their decision

00:22:08.800 who is the person

00:22:09.900 of the year

00:22:10.400 not because

00:22:12.240 it's necessarily

00:22:13.300 the best choice

00:22:14.640 or what the customers

00:22:16.780 would think.

00:22:17.960 Sometimes it's just

00:22:19.100 marketing for the magazine.

00:22:20.240 Sometimes they're just

00:22:22.220 being provocative

00:22:23.000 and they know it

00:22:24.540 so that you will

00:22:26.280 say to yourself,

00:22:27.140 my God,

00:22:27.960 how could they say that?

00:22:28.960 I'm going to have to

00:22:29.460 read their argument

00:22:30.180 when you buy the magazine.

00:22:31.600 So you should see it

00:22:32.580 as marketing first.

00:22:34.780 But

00:22:35.160 Time Magazine

00:22:36.700 might have a political

00:22:38.000 bias as well.

00:22:40.260 And I would ask,

00:22:41.780 do you think

00:22:42.520 there's any

00:22:43.120 political meaning

00:22:44.520 given that this is

00:22:45.760 a presidential

00:22:46.360 political year

00:22:47.540 coming up

00:22:48.100 that having

00:22:49.420 Taylor Swift

00:22:50.080 on the cover

00:22:50.760 would,

00:22:51.400 would that be

00:22:53.440 any kind of

00:22:53.940 a political message

00:22:54.960 in addition to

00:22:56.680 just being good

00:22:57.440 marketing for time?

00:22:59.400 Well,

00:23:00.120 maybe.

00:23:02.560 Here's a post

00:23:03.900 by Jack Posobiec.

00:23:05.740 It says,

00:23:06.320 the Taylor Swift

00:23:07.340 girl boss

00:23:08.280 psyop,

00:23:09.760 hmm,

00:23:10.220 is it a girl

00:23:12.220 boss

00:23:12.740 psyop,

00:23:14.600 has been fully

00:23:15.340 activated

00:23:15.900 from her hand-selected

00:23:17.660 vaccine shill

00:23:18.840 boyfriend

00:23:19.340 to her

00:23:20.500 dink lifestyle,

00:23:21.800 D-I-N-K

00:23:22.500 is

00:23:22.820 dual income,

00:23:27.520 no kids,

00:23:29.300 dual income,

00:23:30.220 no kids,

00:23:30.960 lifestyle,

00:23:31.600 to her upcoming

00:23:32.280 2024 voter

00:23:33.880 operation for

00:23:34.640 Democrats on

00:23:35.400 abortion rights.

00:23:36.400 It's all coming.

00:23:37.080 Yeah,

00:23:38.900 it does look

00:23:40.600 a little bit

00:23:41.260 like she's

00:23:42.580 being,

00:23:43.280 let's say,

00:23:44.720 groomed by

00:23:45.500 the media

00:23:46.080 to be a

00:23:47.780 good,

00:23:48.740 you know,

00:23:49.040 powerful political

00:23:50.000 spokesperson for

00:23:50.940 young people.

00:23:52.140 Now,

00:23:52.400 do you think

00:23:52.840 that Taylor Swift

00:23:53.940 could cause

00:23:55.300 young people

00:23:56.060 to vote

00:23:57.040 her way

00:23:58.680 because she's

00:23:59.520 Taylor Swift?

00:24:00.620 You think

00:24:01.100 she can move

00:24:01.700 votes?

00:24:03.400 What do you

00:24:03.880 think?

00:24:04.040 Yes.

00:24:08.240 Yes,

00:24:08.760 you could.

00:24:09.840 Absolutely.

00:24:11.220 Yeah.

00:24:11.700 Now,

00:24:12.160 maybe not

00:24:13.020 completely by

00:24:13.920 herself,

00:24:14.620 but it would

00:24:15.240 only take

00:24:15.840 a few of

00:24:16.800 your heroes

00:24:17.400 to be on

00:24:17.820 the same

00:24:18.200 side

00:24:18.680 before you

00:24:19.960 say,

00:24:20.320 hey,

00:24:20.540 that's the

00:24:20.940 third hero

00:24:22.760 of mine

00:24:23.280 that's on

00:24:23.580 the same

00:24:23.920 side.

00:24:24.440 I guess

00:24:24.680 I'm on

00:24:25.000 that side

00:24:25.400 too.

00:24:26.140 Yes.

00:24:26.920 Yes,

00:24:27.220 she can

00:24:27.560 move the

00:24:27.940 dial.

00:24:28.540 She is

00:24:28.820 that powerful.

00:24:31.660 So that

00:24:32.280 might have

00:24:32.720 a political

00:24:33.320 component

00:24:34.680 to it,

00:24:35.220 either

00:24:35.480 intentionally

00:24:36.640 or not.

00:24:39.040 So if

00:24:39.760 you're

00:24:39.920 watching the

00:24:40.380 situation

00:24:40.820 in Ireland

00:24:41.500 and saying

00:24:42.820 to yourself,

00:24:44.300 hey,

00:24:44.640 the tech

00:24:46.980 censorship

00:24:47.500 issues that

00:24:48.340 are happening

00:24:48.680 in Ireland

00:24:49.140 right now,

00:24:49.700 that doesn't

00:24:50.140 affect us.

00:24:51.580 And if

00:24:51.900 you're saying,

00:24:52.480 oh,

00:24:52.760 there are

00:24:53.700 complaints

00:24:54.200 against the

00:24:55.080 immigration

00:24:55.600 issue there,

00:24:56.700 that doesn't

00:24:57.460 affect us.

00:24:58.960 Well,

00:24:59.680 apparently

00:25:00.060 there's a

00:25:01.280 bill that's

00:25:02.080 being considered

00:25:02.700 in Ireland

00:25:03.380 that would

00:25:06.560 require

00:25:07.000 corporations

00:25:07.720 to show

00:25:08.940 that they

00:25:09.940 had taken

00:25:10.340 all reasonable

00:25:10.980 steps and

00:25:11.480 exercised due

00:25:12.260 diligence

00:25:12.780 to avoid

00:25:14.740 having bad

00:25:18.400 content,

00:25:18.960 basically.

00:25:19.520 Hey,

00:25:19.720 speech,

00:25:20.080 I guess.

00:25:21.340 So,

00:25:22.020 like most

00:25:23.720 things,

00:25:25.000 it's the

00:25:25.740 side effect

00:25:27.500 that you

00:25:27.800 worry about.

00:25:28.820 It's not

00:25:29.280 what it says

00:25:30.580 on the surface,

00:25:31.340 it's what's

00:25:31.740 going to happen

00:25:32.160 after that.

00:25:33.380 What's

00:25:33.680 going to

00:25:33.840 happen after

00:25:34.300 that,

00:25:34.640 and Michael

00:25:34.900 Schellenberger

00:25:35.480 is sounding

00:25:36.460 the alarm,

00:25:37.700 is if one

00:25:38.900 country

00:25:39.380 succeeds in

00:25:41.240 getting the

00:25:41.740 big platforms

00:25:43.240 to censor

00:25:44.960 who they

00:25:45.540 want them

00:25:46.000 to censor,

00:25:46.840 otherwise

00:25:47.120 lose their

00:25:47.840 ability to

00:25:48.360 operate in

00:25:48.740 that country,

00:25:50.120 then the

00:25:51.000 other countries

00:25:51.560 are going to

00:25:52.020 do it right

00:25:52.560 away.

00:25:53.680 And they

00:25:54.380 will exert

00:25:54.920 control over

00:25:55.660 their social

00:25:56.160 medias,

00:25:56.980 as Ireland

00:25:58.000 did,

00:25:58.600 if Ireland

00:25:59.140 succeeds.

00:25:59.700 And this

00:26:01.620 would be

00:26:01.880 the end

00:26:02.300 of free

00:26:02.660 speech,

00:26:03.100 basically.

00:26:04.140 Because if

00:26:04.980 the governments

00:26:05.480 can exercise

00:26:06.800 this power,

00:26:08.420 you don't

00:26:08.860 need all

00:26:09.460 the governments

00:26:09.960 to do it.

00:26:11.000 You just

00:26:11.600 need enough

00:26:12.360 governments

00:26:13.080 to say you

00:26:14.680 have to

00:26:15.040 censor before

00:26:16.040 it just

00:26:16.680 becomes easy

00:26:17.340 for everybody

00:26:17.880 to do it,

00:26:18.380 all the

00:26:18.640 governments

00:26:18.940 to do it.

00:26:20.820 So,

00:26:21.480 yeah,

00:26:21.900 that's a

00:26:22.280 big deal.

00:26:22.740 And Conor

00:26:25.540 McGregor,

00:26:26.940 famous UFC

00:26:28.940 fighter,

00:26:30.780 is actually

00:26:31.760 kind of serious

00:26:32.580 about running

00:26:33.060 for president

00:26:33.640 and could

00:26:34.720 actually,

00:26:35.460 in my

00:26:35.880 opinion,

00:26:37.340 his popularity

00:26:38.180 is, you

00:26:38.960 know,

00:26:39.100 Taylor Swift-like.

00:26:40.300 He could

00:26:40.580 actually win.

00:26:41.900 He could

00:26:42.120 actually win.

00:26:43.820 All right,

00:26:44.420 here's another

00:26:44.960 factoid.

00:26:46.000 Reid Hoffman,

00:26:46.740 one of the

00:26:47.080 biggest donors

00:26:47.780 to Democrats,

00:26:49.640 reportedly gave

00:26:50.500 a quarter

00:26:50.860 million dollars

00:26:51.560 to a

00:26:52.280 Nikki Haley

00:26:52.980 super PAC.

00:26:55.060 So,

00:26:55.760 you ask

00:26:56.080 yourself,

00:26:56.620 why would

00:26:56.960 the biggest,

00:26:57.660 or one of

00:26:58.280 the biggest,

00:26:58.680 he might

00:26:58.940 be the

00:26:59.300 biggest,

00:27:00.040 now that

00:27:00.460 their other

00:27:00.940 biggest donors

00:27:01.640 are having

00:27:02.740 some troubles,

00:27:03.920 but Reid Hoffman,

00:27:05.200 why would

00:27:05.580 he give

00:27:05.820 money to

00:27:06.480 a Republican

00:27:07.980 if he's

00:27:09.040 one of the

00:27:09.380 biggest Democrats

00:27:10.440 donors?

00:27:12.660 And

00:27:13.040 Vervek

00:27:13.780 posted,

00:27:15.180 well,

00:27:15.400 this makes

00:27:15.800 sense.

00:27:18.020 Yeah,

00:27:18.520 because have

00:27:19.240 you noticed

00:27:19.680 that Nikki

00:27:21.320 Haley is

00:27:22.020 sort of

00:27:22.560 overperforming.

00:27:24.040 It seems

00:27:24.400 like she's

00:27:24.780 doing better

00:27:25.320 than I

00:27:25.660 expected.

00:27:27.360 Well,

00:27:27.920 maybe she's

00:27:28.400 got more

00:27:28.720 money,

00:27:29.120 that might

00:27:29.400 help.

00:27:30.560 And why

00:27:31.560 would Reid

00:27:32.060 Hoffman fund

00:27:34.020 her?

00:27:34.520 Is it

00:27:35.040 because it's

00:27:36.620 an anything

00:27:37.180 but Trump,

00:27:38.400 so if he

00:27:39.160 can get

00:27:40.100 an anti-Trumper

00:27:41.920 elected,

00:27:42.720 not an anti-Trumper,

00:27:43.760 but anybody

00:27:44.420 but Trump,

00:27:45.600 that's good,

00:27:46.320 but if he

00:27:46.680 can get a

00:27:47.080 Democrat elected,

00:27:48.000 that's even

00:27:48.380 better?

00:27:49.500 Or is

00:27:50.480 he just

00:27:50.840 creating

00:27:51.660 trouble in

00:27:52.340 the Republican

00:27:52.960 Party?

00:27:54.060 Is it

00:27:54.340 just to

00:27:54.720 sow chaos

00:27:55.400 in the

00:27:55.700 Republican?

00:27:57.120 I don't

00:27:57.380 know.

00:27:58.180 Quarter

00:27:58.500 billion dollars?

00:28:00.340 Here's

00:28:00.820 what I can

00:28:01.180 tell you

00:28:01.500 about Reid

00:28:01.980 Hoffman.

00:28:03.460 So not

00:28:04.140 only was

00:28:04.800 he founder

00:28:06.280 of LinkedIn

00:28:06.780 and a big

00:28:07.400 billionaire,

00:28:08.820 but he

00:28:11.340 is one

00:28:11.720 of the

00:28:12.040 pioneers of

00:28:13.300 social media

00:28:14.040 in general.

00:28:14.620 and

00:28:15.940 specifically

00:28:16.580 what he

00:28:17.160 pioneered

00:28:17.760 was the

00:28:18.780 understanding

00:28:19.340 of human

00:28:19.940 behavior

00:28:20.460 and

00:28:21.020 addiction.

00:28:22.560 How to

00:28:23.180 give somebody

00:28:23.620 to really,

00:28:24.280 really like

00:28:24.720 going back

00:28:25.320 to the

00:28:25.620 platform

00:28:26.000 and how

00:28:27.280 to get

00:28:27.500 a network

00:28:27.980 effect,

00:28:28.960 working,

00:28:29.380 etc.

00:28:30.300 Now,

00:28:30.640 he's one

00:28:31.080 of the

00:28:31.620 so-called

00:28:32.500 PayPal

00:28:32.920 mafia,

00:28:34.820 the people

00:28:35.160 like Peter

00:28:35.880 Thiel and

00:28:36.740 Elon Musk

00:28:38.120 and David

00:28:39.600 Sachs and

00:28:40.600 Reid Hoffman.

00:28:41.640 So they

00:28:42.060 were all

00:28:42.300 part of

00:28:42.580 that PayPal

00:28:43.260 original

00:28:44.000 startup.

00:28:44.620 Here's the

00:28:46.440 thing I

00:28:46.800 always say

00:28:47.440 about that

00:28:47.960 group.

00:28:49.200 The one

00:28:49.640 thing that

00:28:50.040 that group

00:28:50.440 has in

00:28:50.880 common to

00:28:51.780 a scary

00:28:53.180 degree is

00:28:54.720 the

00:28:54.920 understanding

00:28:55.500 of human

00:28:56.060 psychology.

00:28:57.880 And I

00:28:58.300 would argue

00:28:58.740 that they

00:28:59.420 know that

00:28:59.880 better than

00:29:00.440 any small

00:29:02.160 group of

00:29:02.660 people you've

00:29:03.200 ever seen.

00:29:04.700 Consistently,

00:29:06.040 their

00:29:06.360 understanding

00:29:07.080 of how

00:29:07.580 people operate,

00:29:09.020 like how

00:29:09.360 the brain

00:29:09.880 works,

00:29:11.040 is really

00:29:11.540 the secret

00:29:12.040 to all

00:29:12.540 their success.

00:29:13.240 what makes

00:29:14.800 a service

00:29:15.260 viral?

00:29:16.320 What makes

00:29:16.840 you impossible

00:29:17.780 to leave

00:29:18.340 a service?

00:29:19.000 It's all

00:29:19.220 that stuff.

00:29:20.780 Elon Musk

00:29:21.660 making his

00:29:22.200 first Tesla

00:29:22.900 super fast,

00:29:25.400 just so people

00:29:26.740 would be

00:29:26.980 excited by it.

00:29:28.200 The ludicrous

00:29:30.380 mode in the

00:29:31.240 current Teslas,

00:29:33.060 completely

00:29:33.600 unnecessary.

00:29:34.980 Completely

00:29:35.440 unnecessary.

00:29:36.240 It just

00:29:36.540 makes it

00:29:37.060 irresistible to

00:29:38.380 a certain

00:29:38.720 kind of

00:29:39.060 buyer.

00:29:39.300 So yeah,

00:29:41.280 Reid Hoffman

00:29:41.840 is more

00:29:42.580 than just

00:29:43.640 a big

00:29:44.120 donor.

00:29:46.040 He is

00:29:47.060 probably

00:29:48.640 one of

00:29:50.220 their biggest

00:29:50.640 persuasion

00:29:51.680 experts.

00:29:53.600 So if you

00:29:54.380 see a

00:29:54.940 persuasion

00:29:55.940 play coming

00:29:56.780 out of the

00:29:57.120 Democrats,

00:29:58.260 probably Reid

00:29:59.120 Hoffman thought

00:29:59.720 it was a

00:30:00.080 good idea.

00:30:01.120 Because if he

00:30:01.860 thought it was

00:30:02.200 a bad idea,

00:30:03.020 he's probably

00:30:03.600 influential enough

00:30:04.940 to stop it.

00:30:06.240 And he's

00:30:06.620 probably smart

00:30:07.460 enough to

00:30:08.880 suggest good

00:30:09.700 ideas.

00:30:11.200 So if you're

00:30:11.600 looking for

00:30:12.040 who are

00:30:12.620 the,

00:30:13.480 sometimes people

00:30:14.340 ask me this,

00:30:15.380 you know,

00:30:15.580 if Robert

00:30:16.800 Cialdini is

00:30:18.080 not involved

00:30:18.720 in politics

00:30:19.220 this time,

00:30:20.420 I think he

00:30:20.900 was looking

00:30:21.460 to retire

00:30:21.960 from that.

00:30:23.040 If he's

00:30:23.540 not,

00:30:24.720 who on

00:30:25.500 the side

00:30:25.860 of the

00:30:26.100 Democrats

00:30:26.460 is their

00:30:27.740 persuasion

00:30:30.140 expert?

00:30:31.960 And I

00:30:32.600 would look

00:30:32.980 at Reid

00:30:33.280 Hoffman as

00:30:34.220 not just

00:30:35.020 a rich guy

00:30:35.700 giving money

00:30:36.320 and not

00:30:37.360 just a

00:30:37.900 brilliant

00:30:38.460 entrepreneur.

00:30:40.480 But he

00:30:41.780 might be

00:30:42.420 their

00:30:42.620 persuasion

00:30:43.140 expert.

00:30:44.700 He might

00:30:45.100 be the

00:30:45.440 one.

00:30:46.580 So I'm

00:30:47.440 keeping a

00:30:47.960 persuasion

00:30:48.640 eye on

00:30:49.080 him.

00:30:49.440 By the

00:30:49.740 way,

00:30:49.880 I like

00:30:50.180 Reid

00:30:50.360 Hoffman.

00:30:51.440 I've

00:30:51.960 met him

00:30:52.400 and he's

00:30:54.220 a great

00:30:54.460 guy.

00:30:55.280 Had a

00:30:55.600 very good

00:30:56.060 personal

00:30:57.500 interaction.

00:30:58.880 He was

00:30:59.060 very kind

00:30:59.600 to me.

00:31:00.900 He has

00:31:01.320 different

00:31:01.660 political

00:31:02.360 preferences,

00:31:03.480 but I

00:31:03.960 don't fault

00:31:04.900 him for

00:31:05.200 that.

00:31:06.320 So yeah,

00:31:07.340 he's a

00:31:07.620 good guy.

00:31:08.860 Anyway,

00:31:09.420 Facebook and

00:31:12.040 Meta getting

00:31:12.720 some heat

00:31:13.860 for having

00:31:14.460 too much

00:31:15.080 sexual content

00:31:16.200 for young

00:31:16.800 people.

00:31:17.620 There's some

00:31:18.320 kind of a

00:31:18.800 civil lawsuit

00:31:19.580 being filed

00:31:20.160 in New

00:31:20.480 Mexico.

00:31:22.200 And doesn't

00:31:23.380 it just

00:31:23.680 boggle your

00:31:24.460 mind that

00:31:25.760 the X

00:31:26.340 platform was

00:31:27.400 singled out

00:31:28.140 for their

00:31:29.420 advertisement

00:31:30.060 being too

00:31:30.940 close to

00:31:31.420 content that

00:31:32.000 people don't

00:31:32.460 like?

00:31:33.000 And none

00:31:33.380 of it was

00:31:33.780 true.

00:31:34.540 It was way

00:31:35.560 more true

00:31:36.200 on the

00:31:37.480 platform that

00:31:38.400 backs the

00:31:38.960 Democrats.

00:31:40.360 Way more

00:31:40.840 true.

00:31:41.840 But of

00:31:42.220 course,

00:31:42.460 the truth

00:31:42.860 doesn't

00:31:43.180 matter.

00:31:44.280 It's a

00:31:44.680 political

00:31:45.020 season,

00:31:46.180 but the

00:31:46.500 truth doesn't

00:31:47.000 matter.

00:31:49.060 All right,

00:31:49.520 in California,

00:31:51.980 a new law

00:31:52.600 has gone into

00:31:53.200 effect on

00:31:53.780 January 1st.

00:31:54.980 So California

00:31:55.700 retailers will

00:31:56.600 be fined for

00:31:58.200 not having

00:31:58.760 gender-neutral

00:31:59.760 toy section

00:32:00.480 for kids.

00:32:00.960 you'll

00:32:03.500 actually be

00:32:03.920 fined if

00:32:05.660 your toys

00:32:06.260 are for

00:32:06.660 boys and

00:32:07.240 or girls.

00:32:08.980 Or I

00:32:09.640 guess if it

00:32:10.160 just looks

00:32:10.520 obvious it's

00:32:11.120 for boys

00:32:11.540 or girls.

00:32:13.140 Now,

00:32:14.440 aren't there

00:32:15.220 a lot of

00:32:15.720 toys that

00:32:16.180 are just

00:32:16.460 naturally

00:32:16.980 gender-neutral?

00:32:18.920 I thought

00:32:19.940 that was

00:32:20.220 already the

00:32:20.680 case.

00:32:22.120 Aren't

00:32:22.500 most things

00:32:24.740 gender-neutral?

00:32:26.420 Maybe not

00:32:27.040 most for

00:32:27.660 kids.

00:32:27.980 But

00:32:29.560 this looks

00:32:32.100 like just

00:32:32.580 begging for

00:32:33.920 lawsuits for

00:32:34.700 no good

00:32:35.080 reason.

00:32:37.220 And what

00:32:37.600 would that

00:32:38.140 look like

00:32:38.660 anyway?

00:32:39.460 If you

00:32:40.180 labeled it,

00:32:40.820 how would

00:32:41.060 you label

00:32:41.420 it?

00:32:42.100 Would it

00:32:42.380 be toys

00:32:43.020 for boys,

00:32:44.420 toys for

00:32:44.860 girls,

00:32:46.380 toys for

00:32:46.980 undecided,

00:32:48.160 toys for

00:32:48.620 non-binary?

00:32:50.240 How would

00:32:50.740 you even

00:32:51.040 call it

00:32:51.460 out?

00:32:53.780 Toys,

00:32:54.460 non-gender

00:32:55.260 toys?

00:32:55.820 I feel

00:32:58.840 like

00:32:59.040 everything

00:32:59.520 is just

00:33:00.160 designed to

00:33:01.200 make it

00:33:01.480 harder to

00:33:01.960 be in

00:33:02.260 business

00:33:02.580 without

00:33:02.840 getting

00:33:03.100 sued.

00:33:05.360 Non-tuckable

00:33:06.300 swimsuits?

00:33:07.120 I don't

00:33:07.320 know.

00:33:07.500 I don't

00:33:07.760 know what

00:33:08.020 they do.

00:33:09.440 But that

00:33:09.820 looks like

00:33:10.200 a ridiculous

00:33:11.020 overreach by

00:33:11.760 government.

00:33:14.460 So apparently

00:33:14.900 Hunter Biden

00:33:15.580 has something

00:33:16.120 that the news

00:33:16.740 is calling

00:33:17.180 his sugar

00:33:17.760 brother.

00:33:20.100 Sugar

00:33:20.580 brother.

00:33:21.640 Somebody

00:33:22.120 who gives

00:33:22.540 him money.

00:33:23.380 We don't

00:33:23.800 know what

00:33:24.060 this guy

00:33:24.400 is getting

00:33:24.740 in return.

00:33:25.820 We can

00:33:26.240 only

00:33:26.520 imagine.

00:33:27.740 But

00:33:27.920 apparently

00:33:29.460 Hunter has

00:33:30.460 received

00:33:31.040 $4.9

00:33:32.560 million

00:33:32.880 from one

00:33:34.480 Hollywood

00:33:34.860 lawyer,

00:33:36.120 Kevin Morris,

00:33:36.900 in a three

00:33:37.340 year period.

00:33:39.120 Now,

00:33:39.820 I don't

00:33:40.820 know about

00:33:41.160 your friends.

00:33:42.760 I've never

00:33:43.460 had a friend

00:33:44.120 who would

00:33:45.440 give me

00:33:45.800 $5 million

00:33:46.440 for basically

00:33:48.080 nothing in

00:33:48.700 return.

00:33:49.800 Well,

00:33:49.980 boy,

00:33:50.180 do I wish

00:33:50.560 I did.

00:33:51.560 I wish I

00:33:51.940 had a friend

00:33:52.200 like that.

00:33:53.060 But when I

00:33:53.520 say for

00:33:54.280 nothing in

00:33:54.700 return,

00:33:54.980 that's

00:33:55.700 unfair

00:33:56.480 because

00:33:57.660 some of

00:33:59.540 it is

00:33:59.900 that he

00:34:00.180 bought

00:34:00.420 Hunter's

00:34:01.000 artwork.

00:34:03.880 So,

00:34:04.600 I'm sorry,

00:34:05.400 I probably

00:34:05.780 should correct

00:34:06.760 myself.

00:34:07.900 I

00:34:08.260 exaggerated.

00:34:09.580 It's not

00:34:10.080 that he gave

00:34:10.680 $5 million

00:34:11.420 for nothing.

00:34:13.620 Some amount

00:34:14.480 of it was

00:34:14.900 loans,

00:34:16.060 according to

00:34:16.560 Hunter.

00:34:17.480 They were

00:34:17.820 loans.

00:34:18.340 could

00:34:20.960 somebody

00:34:21.440 get me

00:34:22.140 a copy

00:34:22.640 of the

00:34:22.960 loan

00:34:23.160 agreement

00:34:23.540 or

00:34:24.840 I'm

00:34:25.500 just

00:34:25.680 going

00:34:25.840 to

00:34:25.960 guess.

00:34:27.260 I'll bet

00:34:27.680 you when

00:34:28.040 he's asked

00:34:28.600 for the

00:34:29.080 loan

00:34:29.280 agreements,

00:34:30.780 he's going

00:34:31.100 to say

00:34:31.320 they're

00:34:31.520 missing,

00:34:32.320 possibly

00:34:32.840 lost.

00:34:33.980 Lost or

00:34:34.640 missing?

00:34:35.440 Anybody

00:34:35.740 want to

00:34:36.080 take the

00:34:36.380 other side

00:34:36.780 of that bet?

00:34:38.240 That the

00:34:38.640 loan documents,

00:34:39.680 they definitely

00:34:40.340 existed.

00:34:41.640 But I don't

00:34:42.220 know,

00:34:42.980 it might be in

00:34:43.480 my WhatsApp

00:34:44.080 messaging that

00:34:45.020 reset itself

00:34:46.260 somehow,

00:34:47.340 kind of an

00:34:47.740 app,

00:34:48.600 kind of a

00:34:48.960 bug.

00:34:49.500 I uninstalled

00:34:50.340 an app and

00:34:50.960 now my

00:34:51.320 files are

00:34:51.820 all gone.

00:34:52.920 Yeah,

00:34:53.220 I think

00:34:53.480 something like

00:34:53.880 that.

00:34:54.720 Something like

00:34:55.100 that's going

00:34:55.460 to happen.

00:34:57.600 So I guess

00:34:58.220 Hunter does

00:34:58.800 use this trick

00:34:59.500 of saying

00:34:59.900 something's

00:35:00.440 a loan

00:35:00.920 and then

00:35:02.520 avoiding

00:35:03.660 taxes.

00:35:05.240 You realize,

00:35:06.340 of course,

00:35:07.020 that at some

00:35:07.700 point,

00:35:08.740 if you said

00:35:09.400 something's

00:35:09.960 a loan,

00:35:10.400 and you

00:35:13.780 don't ever

00:35:14.300 pay it

00:35:14.660 back,

00:35:15.600 at some

00:35:16.360 point,

00:35:17.300 you still

00:35:17.720 have to

00:35:18.020 call that

00:35:18.580 income,

00:35:20.000 don't you?

00:35:21.600 If you

00:35:22.200 never pay

00:35:22.680 it back.

00:35:24.060 Actually,

00:35:24.540 I don't

00:35:24.780 know the

00:35:25.060 answer to

00:35:25.320 that question.

00:35:26.280 If anybody

00:35:26.720 is an

00:35:27.140 IRS expert,

00:35:29.120 let's say

00:35:29.560 you legitimately

00:35:31.380 received a

00:35:32.360 loan and

00:35:33.820 you actually

00:35:34.400 had paperwork

00:35:34.940 for it,

00:35:36.020 and then

00:35:36.660 you just

00:35:37.080 didn't pay

00:35:37.680 it back.

00:35:38.740 Does it

00:35:39.300 never count

00:35:39.740 as income?

00:35:40.400 If it's

00:35:43.340 obvious,

00:35:44.060 once it

00:35:44.440 becomes obvious,

00:35:45.280 there's no

00:35:45.660 intention to

00:35:46.260 ever pay it

00:35:46.740 back,

00:35:47.480 and maybe

00:35:47.880 you have

00:35:48.160 the money.

00:35:49.320 Maybe that's

00:35:50.700 the key.

00:35:51.320 You have

00:35:51.720 the money,

00:35:52.860 it's clearly

00:35:53.580 true you

00:35:54.640 have the

00:35:54.900 money to

00:35:55.400 pay it

00:35:55.620 back,

00:35:56.380 but you

00:35:56.700 just don't.

00:35:58.740 Does it

00:35:59.260 become income

00:35:59.820 at that

00:36:00.160 point?

00:36:01.580 Or does it

00:36:02.320 become just

00:36:02.900 bad news

00:36:03.720 for the

00:36:04.020 person who

00:36:04.440 gave you

00:36:04.720 the loan?

00:36:07.520 From a

00:36:08.160 banking

00:36:08.700 perspective,

00:36:10.400 if somebody

00:36:10.980 defaulted,

00:36:11.900 it wouldn't

00:36:12.220 be income.

00:36:13.380 If you

00:36:13.980 simply defaulted

00:36:15.000 because you

00:36:15.320 couldn't afford

00:36:15.860 it, that

00:36:17.100 doesn't become

00:36:17.680 income.

00:36:18.260 That's just

00:36:18.680 a defaulted

00:36:19.440 loan.

00:36:20.740 But if it's

00:36:21.500 clear you

00:36:22.200 never had

00:36:22.780 documents,

00:36:24.400 10 years

00:36:25.000 have gone

00:36:25.340 by, you've

00:36:25.920 never made

00:36:26.360 an interest

00:36:26.760 payment,

00:36:27.780 you've made

00:36:28.160 no attempt

00:36:28.680 to pay it

00:36:29.120 back,

00:36:30.380 wouldn't the

00:36:30.820 IRS reclassify

00:36:31.900 that as a

00:36:32.440 loan?

00:36:33.280 Eventually.

00:36:33.640 somebody says

00:36:37.880 if you

00:36:38.180 default on

00:36:38.760 a credit

00:36:39.160 card, it

00:36:39.560 counts as

00:36:40.000 income.

00:36:42.040 Oh, I'm

00:36:42.720 seeing opinions

00:36:43.400 that people

00:36:43.860 are saying

00:36:44.220 that it

00:36:44.500 does count

00:36:44.940 as income.

00:36:46.640 Interesting.

00:36:47.340 Could have

00:36:47.580 gone either

00:36:47.920 way.

00:36:48.320 I didn't

00:36:48.540 know how

00:36:48.840 that was

00:36:49.100 going to

00:36:49.340 go.

00:36:50.780 All right.

00:36:51.460 Well, these

00:36:51.900 are comments

00:36:52.880 on social

00:36:53.880 media, so

00:36:54.420 talk to your

00:36:55.960 accountant before

00:36:56.700 you take my

00:36:57.220 tax advice or

00:36:58.040 anybody else's.

00:36:59.820 So what do

00:37:00.400 you think of

00:37:00.700 this?

00:37:00.940 is there

00:37:01.400 any reason

00:37:02.240 that this

00:37:03.400 one Hollywood

00:37:04.420 lawyer would

00:37:05.100 be giving

00:37:05.480 millions of

00:37:06.100 dollars to

00:37:06.500 one person

00:37:07.000 who, by

00:37:07.760 the way,

00:37:08.700 they were

00:37:09.040 not childhood

00:37:09.660 friends.

00:37:11.300 This guy

00:37:11.720 started giving

00:37:12.320 Hunter millions

00:37:13.220 within a few

00:37:14.600 years of

00:37:15.000 meeting him.

00:37:16.880 Now, that's

00:37:17.700 a friend.

00:37:22.260 FBI Director

00:37:23.540 Wray was

00:37:24.120 testifying in

00:37:25.020 Congress,

00:37:25.780 Senator Mike

00:37:26.400 Lee, went

00:37:27.640 after him

00:37:28.120 hard about

00:37:30.920 the alleged

00:37:31.700 changes in

00:37:32.520 the processes

00:37:33.140 to keep

00:37:34.200 Americans

00:37:34.680 safe from

00:37:35.320 illegal

00:37:37.320 stuff, I

00:37:40.060 guess.

00:37:41.040 And the

00:37:43.200 trouble is

00:37:43.680 that the

00:37:44.160 FBI, I

00:37:45.640 guess they

00:37:45.960 can't be

00:37:46.620 too specific

00:37:47.360 about what

00:37:47.860 they changed.

00:37:50.440 It's sort

00:37:51.060 of a trust

00:37:52.060 us, we

00:37:52.500 changed

00:37:53.000 everything, and

00:37:53.580 now it's

00:37:53.880 good.

00:37:55.160 So Mike

00:37:56.540 Lee just

00:37:56.920 went off

00:37:57.480 on him.

00:37:58.100 And it's

00:37:58.700 really good

00:37:59.320 because

00:38:00.180 sometimes you

00:38:02.020 say to

00:38:02.320 yourself,

00:38:02.940 all the

00:38:05.660 politicians

00:38:06.120 are just

00:38:06.560 trying to

00:38:06.880 do their

00:38:07.220 moment, so

00:38:08.780 it becomes

00:38:09.160 a viral

00:38:09.640 thing, so

00:38:10.280 it looks

00:38:10.600 like they're

00:38:10.920 doing their

00:38:11.300 job.

00:38:13.180 Honestly,

00:38:14.080 Mike Lee

00:38:14.480 looked like

00:38:15.020 a human

00:38:15.800 being who

00:38:16.360 was really

00:38:16.900 mad.

00:38:18.860 To me, it

00:38:19.840 didn't come

00:38:20.280 off as

00:38:21.000 grandstanding.

00:38:22.780 He just

00:38:23.500 came off as

00:38:24.120 a pissed

00:38:24.640 off human

00:38:25.180 being, which

00:38:26.280 is why I

00:38:26.740 recommend

00:38:27.180 it.

00:38:28.100 I wouldn't

00:38:28.620 recommend

00:38:29.140 somebody gives

00:38:31.000 their little

00:38:31.420 speech in

00:38:31.960 Congress because

00:38:32.600 they're just

00:38:32.880 trying to be

00:38:33.260 a star, but

00:38:34.620 he didn't

00:38:35.060 look like

00:38:35.480 that.

00:38:36.280 I mean, that's

00:38:36.620 just the way

00:38:37.100 I'm not

00:38:37.780 reading his

00:38:38.240 mind.

00:38:39.180 I'm just

00:38:39.540 saying that

00:38:39.960 that was

00:38:40.200 the impression

00:38:40.660 of the guy.

00:38:41.080 He looked

00:38:41.480 sincere, like

00:38:42.780 a human who

00:38:45.120 was being

00:38:45.440 abused just

00:38:46.160 like the rest

00:38:46.700 of us, and

00:38:47.660 he was talking

00:38:48.240 just like you

00:38:48.920 would if you

00:38:49.540 could have

00:38:49.780 talked freely.

00:38:50.860 Like, Jesus,

00:38:51.640 you don't even

00:38:52.060 let us see

00:38:52.620 it.

00:38:53.100 We have no

00:38:53.620 reason to

00:38:54.060 believe you're

00:38:54.480 different.

00:38:54.960 I mean, he

00:38:55.260 just went

00:38:55.580 off on.

00:38:57.480 It was

00:38:57.740 interesting to

00:38:58.360 see.

00:39:00.840 All right,

00:39:01.160 well, Bill

00:39:01.560 Ackman, famous

00:39:03.220 investor Bill

00:39:04.300 Ackman, has

00:39:05.260 been going

00:39:05.700 super hard on

00:39:07.000 the presidents

00:39:08.520 of the

00:39:08.980 colleges that

00:39:09.740 have allowed

00:39:10.160 the anti-Semitic

00:39:12.220 stuff to

00:39:13.120 happen.

00:39:15.040 And so

00:39:17.740 here's a

00:39:18.120 post for him

00:39:18.660 today.

00:39:19.380 He says,

00:39:19.860 does calling

00:39:20.440 for the

00:39:20.840 genocide of

00:39:21.520 Jews violate

00:39:22.520 your university's

00:39:24.340 code of

00:39:24.660 conduct or

00:39:25.340 rules regarding

00:39:26.020 bullying or

00:39:27.640 harassment?

00:39:28.560 Now, he's

00:39:28.860 talking about

00:39:29.300 the fact that

00:39:29.920 three presidents

00:39:30.800 of three

00:39:31.560 colleges,

00:39:32.800 Harvard,

00:39:33.320 University of

00:39:33.900 Penn, and

00:39:34.620 MIT, were

00:39:36.040 hauled in by

00:39:36.700 Congress to

00:39:37.360 explain why

00:39:39.240 they weren't

00:39:39.940 either all

00:39:41.740 quitting or

00:39:43.240 being fired or

00:39:44.260 removed by the

00:39:44.900 boards for

00:39:46.080 allowing what

00:39:47.040 most observers

00:39:48.940 are saying

00:39:49.580 looks anti-Semitic,

00:39:51.340 which is

00:39:52.120 allowing the

00:39:53.840 anti-Jewish

00:39:54.740 voices to

00:39:56.440 intimidate the

00:39:57.340 Jewish students

00:39:58.100 in a

00:39:58.880 bullying,

00:40:00.140 clearly

00:40:00.760 threatening way

00:40:01.840 that should not

00:40:02.920 exist in any

00:40:03.800 campus today.

00:40:05.120 So Bill

00:40:05.460 Ackman is

00:40:05.900 going after

00:40:06.400 them, and I

00:40:06.840 guess the

00:40:07.320 three presidents

00:40:08.540 all answered

00:40:10.220 the question

00:40:10.900 of does

00:40:12.320 calling for the

00:40:13.060 genocide of

00:40:13.720 Jews violate

00:40:14.620 your college's

00:40:15.700 code of

00:40:16.100 conduct?

00:40:16.500 all three

00:40:18.080 female

00:40:18.780 presidents of

00:40:21.360 those colleges

00:40:23.040 said it

00:40:24.580 depends on

00:40:25.120 the context.

00:40:28.580 Oh my

00:40:29.380 God, it

00:40:30.760 depends on

00:40:31.280 the context.

00:40:33.240 Now, here's

00:40:34.500 my take.

00:40:35.440 It does

00:40:35.840 depend on

00:40:36.340 the context.

00:40:37.920 So technically,

00:40:38.900 of course,

00:40:39.740 everything depends

00:40:40.560 on context,

00:40:41.460 but one

00:40:41.860 doesn't.

00:40:42.960 Is there

00:40:43.320 something that

00:40:43.880 doesn't depend

00:40:44.480 on context?

00:40:45.460 Of course

00:40:45.780 it does.

00:40:46.500 Let's say

00:40:48.840 the context

00:40:49.440 was somebody

00:40:52.100 was giving

00:40:52.620 a speech

00:40:53.080 about what

00:40:53.540 you should

00:40:53.880 never do

00:40:54.400 in public.

00:40:56.140 Well, that

00:40:56.740 context would

00:40:57.380 matter, because

00:40:58.240 it would mean

00:40:58.800 that what

00:40:59.140 they said

00:40:59.480 was the

00:40:59.780 opposite of

00:41:00.300 what they

00:41:00.580 thought was

00:41:00.940 true.

00:41:01.980 So yeah,

00:41:02.760 context

00:41:03.240 matters.

00:41:04.020 But in

00:41:04.460 the real

00:41:05.100 world, is

00:41:06.220 there ever

00:41:06.680 going to be

00:41:07.020 a context

00:41:07.600 where this

00:41:09.040 matters?

00:41:10.780 I mean,

00:41:11.420 really?

00:41:12.360 Is there

00:41:12.700 ever going

00:41:13.080 to be a

00:41:13.340 context that

00:41:14.020 makes this

00:41:14.460 okay?

00:41:15.500 Ever?

00:41:16.500 And would

00:41:17.020 this ever

00:41:17.520 be okay

00:41:18.040 in any

00:41:18.680 context if

00:41:19.980 any other

00:41:20.560 ethnic group

00:41:21.880 were involved?

00:41:23.140 No!

00:41:23.960 Of course

00:41:24.580 not.

00:41:24.900 Well, maybe

00:41:25.420 white people

00:41:26.060 in general

00:41:26.520 or white

00:41:26.880 men.

00:41:27.620 But any

00:41:28.020 other group,

00:41:29.180 no.

00:41:29.720 It would be

00:41:30.120 inappropriate.

00:41:30.620 So there's

00:41:33.220 continued calls

00:41:35.080 for those

00:41:35.680 three college

00:41:36.680 presidents to

00:41:40.040 be fired by

00:41:40.640 their boards.

00:41:41.500 Will it

00:41:41.860 happen?

00:41:42.780 I doubt

00:41:43.300 it.

00:41:44.460 I don't

00:41:44.780 think any

00:41:45.160 of them

00:41:45.400 will be

00:41:45.680 fired.

00:41:46.340 Do you?

00:41:48.340 Nope.

00:41:49.400 No way.

00:41:51.440 All right.

00:41:51.820 There was

00:41:54.180 a study

00:41:54.620 that the

00:41:55.180 I think

00:41:55.820 it was

00:41:55.980 the

00:41:56.140 end

00:41:56.380 wokeness

00:41:56.940 account

00:41:57.360 on X.

00:41:58.500 It's a

00:41:58.740 great account

00:41:59.200 to follow.

00:41:59.780 It finds

00:41:59.980 a lot

00:42:00.180 of good

00:42:00.400 stuff.

00:42:01.260 So there

00:42:01.480 was a

00:42:01.840 national

00:42:02.300 election

00:42:02.840 studies

00:42:04.620 in 2021.

00:42:06.960 National

00:42:07.440 election

00:42:07.800 studies

00:42:08.240 was the

00:42:08.580 name of

00:42:08.820 the study.

00:42:10.500 And in

00:42:10.860 2021 they

00:42:11.760 looked at

00:42:12.260 racial groups

00:42:12.980 and how

00:42:13.960 they rated

00:42:14.580 each other

00:42:15.200 and how

00:42:17.220 they rated

00:42:17.700 themselves.

00:42:19.340 So they

00:42:19.660 asked

00:42:20.040 separately

00:42:21.020 they asked

00:42:21.620 black,

00:42:22.440 Asian

00:42:22.660 American,

00:42:25.000 Hispanic

00:42:25.380 Americans

00:42:25.920 and white

00:42:26.880 people in

00:42:27.520 America

00:42:27.900 how do you

00:42:29.040 rate your

00:42:29.560 own group?

00:42:30.860 How awesome

00:42:31.480 do you think

00:42:31.920 you are?

00:42:32.860 And then how

00:42:33.440 do you rate

00:42:33.920 the other

00:42:34.480 three groups?

00:42:36.440 Well the

00:42:36.960 findings of

00:42:37.760 this study

00:42:38.280 assuming the

00:42:41.300 study is

00:42:41.640 right we

00:42:42.160 don't know.

00:42:43.160 But the

00:42:43.500 study seemed

00:42:44.060 to indicate

00:42:44.560 that white

00:42:45.200 people on

00:42:46.600 average of

00:42:47.400 course we're

00:42:47.700 not talking

00:42:48.160 about every

00:42:48.940 person but

00:42:50.020 these are

00:42:50.620 just averages

00:42:51.120 that they

00:42:52.260 tended to

00:42:52.800 rate themselves

00:42:53.800 other white

00:42:54.960 people as

00:42:56.240 well as

00:42:56.740 Hispanic,

00:42:57.580 black and

00:42:58.140 Asian

00:42:58.560 Americans as

00:43:00.080 about the

00:43:00.460 same.

00:43:01.800 So white

00:43:02.280 people said

00:43:02.940 white people

00:43:03.560 we're average

00:43:04.480 how's everybody

00:43:05.640 else?

00:43:06.120 About the

00:43:06.600 same.

00:43:07.820 So nobody

00:43:08.260 was special

00:43:08.880 nobody was

00:43:10.440 disavowed

00:43:11.120 nobody was

00:43:12.420 put on a

00:43:12.860 pedestal just

00:43:13.600 everybody's

00:43:14.160 about the

00:43:14.460 same.

00:43:15.060 So basically

00:43:15.560 white people

00:43:16.340 have been

00:43:17.460 buying into

00:43:18.040 the melting

00:43:19.340 pot you

00:43:20.860 know everybody's

00:43:21.780 the same we're

00:43:22.920 all equal

00:43:23.420 kind of

00:43:24.660 narrative.

00:43:25.700 How'd the

00:43:26.060 other groups

00:43:26.520 do?

00:43:29.240 Not so

00:43:29.940 good.

00:43:30.900 Turns out that

00:43:31.760 the other groups

00:43:32.380 think that they're

00:43:33.180 pretty awesome but

00:43:33.980 white people suck.

00:43:38.620 So

00:43:39.180 bet you didn't

00:43:41.720 see that coming

00:43:42.440 or did you?

00:43:44.240 Now I gave

00:43:45.100 some advice

00:43:45.640 here.

00:43:47.060 If you

00:43:47.820 believe that

00:43:48.380 this study is

00:43:49.020 accurate and

00:43:50.300 you believe that

00:43:51.100 white people

00:43:51.720 generally are

00:43:52.680 not biased

00:43:54.100 against other

00:43:54.720 people on

00:43:55.440 average but

00:43:56.720 that other

00:43:58.080 groups might

00:43:59.820 have a very

00:44:00.360 low opinion

00:44:01.040 of you if

00:44:02.040 you're white

00:44:02.600 don't do

00:44:05.840 anything about

00:44:06.540 it.

00:44:07.640 That's my

00:44:08.380 advice.

00:44:09.580 Don't mention

00:44:10.460 it in

00:44:10.800 public.

00:44:12.720 Don't

00:44:13.200 bring up

00:44:13.620 that there's

00:44:14.080 a study

00:44:14.580 that suggests

00:44:15.300 maybe there's

00:44:16.720 a way to

00:44:17.980 act that

00:44:18.480 would keep

00:44:18.820 you safer

00:44:19.360 if you

00:44:19.740 were white

00:44:20.220 because you

00:44:21.500 will be

00:44:21.780 very

00:44:22.160 cancelled

00:44:22.660 if you

00:44:24.320 point that

00:44:24.740 out.

00:44:25.980 So what

00:44:26.320 you should

00:44:26.720 do,

00:44:27.600 the only

00:44:28.220 ethical

00:44:28.620 thing,

00:44:29.120 as I've

00:44:29.540 been told,

00:44:30.540 I didn't

00:44:30.820 know this

00:44:31.180 at first

00:44:31.540 but I've

00:44:31.840 learned this,

00:44:32.580 the only

00:44:32.940 moral and

00:44:33.440 ethical

00:44:33.700 thing to

00:44:34.180 do if

00:44:34.600 you're a

00:44:34.840 white

00:44:34.980 person is

00:44:36.260 to continue

00:44:37.760 associating with

00:44:38.680 people who

00:44:39.180 have a low

00:44:39.600 opinion of

00:44:40.160 you.

00:44:41.920 Those to

00:44:42.620 do otherwise

00:44:43.160 would be

00:44:43.480 racist.

00:44:45.900 So that's

00:44:47.060 your advice.

00:44:48.580 Okay.

00:44:51.520 Vivek posted

00:44:53.080 today,

00:44:53.720 truth number

00:44:54.240 one,

00:44:54.580 January 6th

00:44:55.300 now looks

00:44:55.760 more and

00:44:56.160 more like

00:44:56.580 entrapment.

00:44:58.240 Well,

00:44:58.600 that's pretty

00:44:59.000 direct.

00:45:00.360 So a

00:45:00.780 major candidate

00:45:01.440 for president

00:45:02.140 who is not

00:45:02.940 Trump is

00:45:05.440 saying directly

00:45:06.180 that January 6th

00:45:07.220 looks more like

00:45:07.960 entrapment.

00:45:08.580 Why?

00:45:08.800 Well,

00:45:09.560 there are

00:45:09.680 now more

00:45:10.180 videos coming

00:45:10.860 out that

00:45:12.200 show multiple

00:45:13.500 instances of

00:45:15.380 police calmly

00:45:17.100 removing barriers

00:45:18.400 to let the

00:45:19.140 crowd into the

00:45:19.960 Capitol grounds.

00:45:22.580 Calmly and

00:45:23.340 repeatedly removing

00:45:25.360 barriers that are

00:45:26.320 working.

00:45:28.040 This is the key

00:45:29.040 point.

00:45:29.840 The barriers

00:45:30.420 were working.

00:45:31.700 The people

00:45:32.140 were on the

00:45:32.640 other side of

00:45:33.220 it and they

00:45:34.660 were sort of

00:45:35.100 respecting the

00:45:35.740 barrier because

00:45:36.360 there were

00:45:36.620 police there.

00:45:37.360 and the

00:45:39.420 police actually

00:45:40.060 removed the

00:45:40.640 barriers and

00:45:41.160 let them in.

00:45:42.320 Then we've

00:45:42.740 also seen

00:45:43.380 multiple

00:45:44.080 interior security

00:45:46.760 cameras that

00:45:48.020 show that the

00:45:48.880 people look more

00:45:49.660 like tourists.

00:45:50.580 They were just

00:45:51.000 wandering respectfully,

00:45:52.420 staying between

00:45:52.940 the lines,

00:45:54.040 and the law

00:45:56.240 enforcement was

00:45:58.160 high-fiving and

00:45:59.520 basically just

00:46:01.640 letting them do

00:46:02.640 their thing.

00:46:03.100 because they

00:46:04.380 either didn't

00:46:05.180 think they

00:46:05.500 would be

00:46:05.740 violent or

00:46:06.360 they're in

00:46:07.120 on something.

00:46:08.160 We don't know

00:46:08.760 what they were

00:46:09.080 thinking or why

00:46:10.060 they did it.

00:46:10.700 We just know

00:46:11.160 what happened.

00:46:12.900 So do we

00:46:13.820 have, let's

00:46:15.140 get a, let me

00:46:16.700 test the

00:46:17.160 temperature of my

00:46:17.920 audience.

00:46:18.800 In the comments,

00:46:20.100 do you think it's

00:46:21.060 a fair statement

00:46:21.840 that January 6th

00:46:24.640 now looks more

00:46:25.580 and more like

00:46:26.500 entrapment?

00:46:27.180 that, and

00:46:29.760 we're also not

00:46:31.560 told the number

00:46:32.340 of undercover

00:46:33.640 informants or

00:46:34.940 whatever in the

00:46:36.120 crowd.

00:46:37.460 So we're told

00:46:38.460 that we're not

00:46:39.100 going to be told

00:46:39.720 how many were

00:46:40.860 the entrappers,

00:46:42.140 the alleged

00:46:43.220 entrappers, but

00:46:44.920 let's just call

00:46:45.580 them the

00:46:45.860 undercover people.

00:46:47.180 We're not told

00:46:48.080 that number.

00:46:48.800 The public can't

00:46:49.460 know that number.

00:46:51.400 Now what do I

00:46:51.980 tell you about

00:46:53.600 the government?

00:46:54.760 If this were an

00:46:56.820 individual, and

00:46:58.700 an individual

00:46:59.400 said, I have

00:47:00.220 some information

00:47:00.820 I'm not going

00:47:01.320 to tell you, I

00:47:02.660 say unambiguously,

00:47:04.440 well, I don't

00:47:05.260 know what that

00:47:05.620 person did, but

00:47:06.400 innocent until

00:47:07.140 proven guilty.

00:47:08.660 Definitely

00:47:09.100 innocent, innocent,

00:47:10.560 innocent by our

00:47:12.300 system, which is a

00:47:13.520 really good system,

00:47:14.640 until proven guilty.

00:47:16.500 I don't care how

00:47:17.220 guilty it sounds.

00:47:20.340 It can sound

00:47:20.960 guilty, but you've

00:47:21.740 got to prove that

00:47:22.340 shit.

00:47:23.120 That's the rule.

00:47:23.740 But not for the

00:47:25.020 government.

00:47:25.780 If the government

00:47:26.740 doesn't tell you

00:47:27.660 something, you can

00:47:29.160 infer their guilt.

00:47:31.560 Totally appropriate.

00:47:33.140 It's logical.

00:47:34.760 It might not be

00:47:35.380 right, but you can

00:47:36.740 infer that they've

00:47:37.820 given you reason to

00:47:38.860 believe they're

00:47:39.300 guilty.

00:47:40.900 And you can act

00:47:41.920 on it.

00:47:43.280 You know, within

00:47:44.280 the law as a

00:47:45.160 citizen, you can

00:47:45.800 act on it.

00:47:48.580 So, yeah, I

00:47:50.460 agree with Vivek.

00:47:51.380 And I would

00:47:52.880 say I didn't

00:47:53.960 start here.

00:47:55.060 I did not start

00:47:56.260 out believing that

00:47:57.400 there were enough

00:47:58.540 FBI informants to

00:47:59.880 make a difference.

00:48:00.660 I didn't start

00:48:01.180 there.

00:48:01.860 I always knew it

00:48:02.720 was an interesting

00:48:03.260 question, but I

00:48:04.780 didn't have the

00:48:05.240 data to, you

00:48:06.380 know, firmly say

00:48:07.180 one way or the

00:48:07.780 other.

00:48:08.500 And I didn't

00:48:10.240 assume that just

00:48:12.120 because we knew

00:48:12.940 that maybe one or

00:48:14.100 two doors had

00:48:14.840 been opened or

00:48:15.880 maybe some police

00:48:17.420 officers acted in

00:48:18.480 a certain way or

00:48:19.520 maybe Ray Epps

00:48:21.340 was still a

00:48:23.460 question mark.

00:48:24.260 I didn't think

00:48:24.900 that that was yet

00:48:26.820 enough to put it

00:48:28.700 together and say,

00:48:29.400 oh, well, maybe

00:48:30.540 it's exactly what it

00:48:31.400 looks like.

00:48:33.320 But in the

00:48:34.360 fullness of time

00:48:35.340 when we can see

00:48:36.800 the complete

00:48:37.500 catalog of dirty

00:48:39.420 tricks and

00:48:40.200 intelligence ops,

00:48:42.160 we can see the

00:48:43.000 full bag of dirty

00:48:43.900 tricks from the

00:48:44.600 Democrats in

00:48:45.300 general, we can

00:48:46.700 see their

00:48:47.100 desperation to

00:48:48.140 hold on to

00:48:48.600 power, and we

00:48:49.880 can see that they

00:48:50.620 were trying to

00:48:52.120 paint mega

00:48:53.520 people as

00:48:54.580 domestic terrorists.

00:48:56.720 If you look at

00:48:57.760 their motivation,

00:48:59.940 they have the

00:49:00.700 motive.

00:49:01.420 They have the

00:49:01.880 motive for the

00:49:02.480 crime.

00:49:03.720 Did they have the

00:49:04.760 time to prepare

00:49:05.760 for it?

00:49:06.620 They had time to

00:49:07.340 prepare because they

00:49:08.600 knew it was

00:49:08.960 coming.

00:49:10.340 Would it be

00:49:11.220 unprecedented?

00:49:12.740 No, it would

00:49:13.320 not.

00:49:14.320 It would be well

00:49:15.400 within the normal

00:49:16.480 behavior, but

00:49:17.880 usually it's

00:49:18.620 something you

00:49:19.100 see America

00:49:19.960 instigating in

00:49:21.720 another country.

00:49:23.060 So it's normal

00:49:24.240 for America to

00:49:25.180 do it to other

00:49:25.740 countries, and

00:49:26.940 we also know

00:49:27.660 now that it's

00:49:29.060 normal and

00:49:30.680 routine for

00:49:32.180 America to

00:49:32.800 take tricks which

00:49:33.720 they've applied

00:49:34.300 only to other

00:49:34.980 countries and

00:49:36.180 apply it

00:49:36.680 domestically.

00:49:37.660 We see this

00:49:38.560 with the

00:49:38.840 censorship, etc.

00:49:40.140 It's obvious.

00:49:40.900 So we've

00:49:42.600 got the

00:49:42.900 motivation, we've

00:49:44.640 got the

00:49:45.540 means, they

00:49:46.700 have the

00:49:47.000 resources, we've

00:49:49.240 got a full

00:49:51.340 umbrella of

00:49:53.380 supporting

00:49:54.260 interests, we've

00:49:56.600 got a full map

00:49:57.620 of all the

00:49:58.160 players, so we

00:49:59.720 can see who's

00:50:00.240 connected to who,

00:50:01.240 and it all

00:50:01.600 looks exactly

00:50:02.400 like the

00:50:03.840 bank says it

00:50:04.440 looks, and

00:50:05.580 now we have an

00:50:06.600 increasing number

00:50:07.600 of anecdotal,

00:50:09.120 still anecdotal,

00:50:11.240 but little

00:50:13.060 bits of why

00:50:14.120 is this police

00:50:14.700 officer acting

00:50:15.420 this way?

00:50:16.460 Why is this

00:50:16.980 one opening

00:50:17.460 this gate?

00:50:18.560 Why is this

00:50:19.120 one just

00:50:19.440 standing aside?

00:50:21.380 If you put

00:50:22.240 it all

00:50:22.540 together, I'm

00:50:25.100 going to state

00:50:25.660 that at this

00:50:26.460 point, the

00:50:27.640 burden of

00:50:28.300 proof has to

00:50:29.180 be on the

00:50:29.600 government to

00:50:30.800 prove innocence.

00:50:33.560 The burden

00:50:34.860 of proof on

00:50:35.700 the government

00:50:36.180 when there are

00:50:37.800 this many

00:50:38.400 signals,

00:50:39.120 they have

00:50:39.980 to prove

00:50:40.320 it didn't

00:50:40.680 happen.

00:50:41.640 It's not

00:50:42.240 like a

00:50:42.720 citizen where

00:50:43.540 they'd have

00:50:43.880 to prove it

00:50:44.300 did happen.

00:50:45.740 They have

00:50:46.340 to prove it

00:50:46.700 didn't happen,

00:50:47.920 and at this

00:50:48.420 point, your

00:50:49.300 working assumption,

00:50:51.080 your working

00:50:52.200 assumption, this

00:50:53.400 doesn't mean

00:50:53.820 you're right,

00:50:54.900 but the

00:50:55.680 correct working

00:50:57.520 assumption is

00:50:58.520 that it's

00:50:58.860 exactly what it

00:50:59.580 looks like,

00:51:00.480 and it was

00:51:00.760 entrapment,

00:51:01.680 and Vivek sees

00:51:03.180 the same thing

00:51:03.780 you do.

00:51:05.000 That is the

00:51:05.720 correct working

00:51:06.600 assumption, even

00:51:07.400 if it turns out

00:51:08.080 not to be

00:51:08.480 true.

00:51:09.120 which I

00:51:09.800 would love.

00:51:10.900 I would love

00:51:12.000 that the

00:51:12.340 government could

00:51:13.100 tell you how

00:51:14.540 many operators

00:51:15.260 were there,

00:51:16.720 let you

00:51:17.160 interview them,

00:51:17.860 or let the

00:51:18.440 press interview

00:51:19.020 them, let you

00:51:20.140 see any

00:51:20.560 documents that

00:51:21.500 were part of

00:51:23.580 the decision

00:51:24.320 making, and

00:51:25.420 then maybe

00:51:25.800 there's nothing

00:51:26.280 there.

00:51:27.440 But when you

00:51:28.000 act this

00:51:29.060 guilty, the

00:51:30.940 working assumption

00:51:31.840 has to be

00:51:32.360 guilt.

00:51:33.260 That's exactly

00:51:34.060 what it looks

00:51:34.540 like.

00:51:34.740 Thomas Massey's

00:51:42.480 getting some

00:51:43.140 pushback from

00:51:44.240 a number of

00:51:45.760 people.

00:51:46.680 Charles

00:51:46.940 Schumer,

00:51:48.100 Chuck Schumer,

00:51:49.520 he was

00:51:50.940 reacting to

00:51:51.780 Massey's

00:51:52.720 post.

00:51:53.180 I'll tell you

00:51:53.540 what his post

00:51:54.000 was in a

00:51:54.420 minute.

00:51:55.320 He said

00:51:55.820 what did

00:51:59.460 it mean?

00:51:59.680 Well, Massey

00:52:00.500 just says it

00:52:01.040 was anti-Semitic.

00:52:02.500 Now, I'm going

00:52:03.000 to tell you

00:52:03.340 what Thomas

00:52:04.040 Massey posted,

00:52:05.020 and I want

00:52:06.440 you to see

00:52:07.320 how anti-Semitic

00:52:11.140 it looks to

00:52:11.660 you.

00:52:13.300 All right?

00:52:14.820 So he posted

00:52:15.600 a meme in

00:52:16.440 which the

00:52:17.280 rapper Drake

00:52:18.600 is shown in

00:52:19.440 two pictures,

00:52:20.720 and he's

00:52:21.560 putting up a

00:52:22.380 hand like,

00:52:23.140 you know,

00:52:23.380 no more of

00:52:24.000 that, or

00:52:25.200 you know,

00:52:25.560 don't give

00:52:25.900 me that,

00:52:26.500 kind of stop

00:52:27.040 it, hand.

00:52:28.540 And one

00:52:29.060 of them

00:52:29.300 says,

00:52:30.840 what did

00:52:31.420 it say?

00:52:31.760 Zionism.

00:52:37.180 So at first

00:52:37.740 he's saying,

00:52:39.200 oh no,

00:52:39.840 he's first

00:52:40.480 saying approvingly

00:52:41.580 yes to

00:52:42.660 Zionism,

00:52:43.260 but then he's

00:52:44.440 looking disapprovingly,

00:52:46.860 and then the

00:52:47.400 words say

00:52:48.240 American

00:52:51.800 patriotism.

00:52:53.160 So Massey's

00:52:53.920 post

00:52:54.540 showed

00:52:56.480 what looked

00:52:59.100 like a

00:52:59.620 conflict

00:53:00.220 between

00:53:01.380 what Congress

00:53:02.460 was doing

00:53:03.080 for Zionism

00:53:05.360 versus

00:53:06.460 America.

00:53:07.580 Now,

00:53:08.060 here's how I

00:53:08.660 interpreted it,

00:53:10.440 and I'll let you

00:53:11.260 tell me how I'm

00:53:12.080 interpreting it

00:53:12.720 wrong.

00:53:13.300 I interpreted it

00:53:14.220 that he wants

00:53:15.400 the American

00:53:15.940 Congress to

00:53:16.720 use American

00:53:17.380 money first

00:53:19.100 for things

00:53:19.920 that are

00:53:20.520 primarily

00:53:21.400 America-centric,

00:53:23.620 and not so

00:53:25.160 much for

00:53:25.600 something that's

00:53:26.660 directly

00:53:27.160 Israel-centric,

00:53:28.700 and the

00:53:29.460 country of

00:53:29.940 Israel

00:53:30.320 being part

00:53:32.260 of that

00:53:32.520 definition

00:53:32.960 of Zionism.

00:53:34.800 Now,

00:53:36.000 if an

00:53:36.380 American

00:53:36.720 politician

00:53:37.200 says we

00:53:37.820 should spend

00:53:38.260 money on

00:53:38.940 our own

00:53:39.300 country instead

00:53:40.080 of another

00:53:40.520 country,

00:53:41.060 even an

00:53:41.460 ally,

00:53:42.380 even a

00:53:42.980 strong ally,

00:53:44.220 even one of

00:53:45.180 our favorite

00:53:45.560 allies,

00:53:47.000 that he would

00:53:47.920 still prefer,

00:53:49.400 as our elected

00:53:50.300 representative,

00:53:51.560 that we spend

00:53:52.180 it on American

00:53:53.020 interest more

00:53:53.880 directly,

00:53:54.900 although I do

00:53:55.600 understand that

00:53:57.020 America has an

00:53:57.740 interest in

00:53:58.320 Israel's

00:53:59.400 well-being.

00:54:00.980 But it's a

00:54:01.660 second-order

00:54:02.200 effect.

00:54:03.080 The first

00:54:03.740 order is,

00:54:05.100 do you have

00:54:05.800 any money?

00:54:07.180 That's more

00:54:07.860 important than

00:54:08.400 how you spend

00:54:08.960 it.

00:54:09.160 Do you have

00:54:09.460 any?

00:54:09.760 And we

00:54:10.000 don't.

00:54:11.160 A master

00:54:11.520 would say

00:54:11.920 we'd have to

00:54:12.560 borrow that

00:54:12.980 money.

00:54:14.060 So,

00:54:16.100 here's what

00:54:18.380 I learned

00:54:19.000 from this.

00:54:20.240 If you use

00:54:21.020 that Z

00:54:21.520 word,

00:54:22.180 Z-I-O-N,

00:54:24.500 apparently there's

00:54:25.360 another

00:54:25.860 interpretation of

00:54:27.740 it that I

00:54:28.760 can't find

00:54:29.460 in a

00:54:29.820 definition.

00:54:31.400 So,

00:54:31.740 when I look

00:54:32.100 at the

00:54:32.380 definition of

00:54:33.100 the words

00:54:33.600 in this

00:54:34.380 controversy,

00:54:35.960 I see

00:54:36.680 Massey using

00:54:38.240 the Z-word

00:54:39.440 to refer to

00:54:41.140 the nation

00:54:42.280 of Israel

00:54:42.860 and protecting

00:54:43.780 it.

00:54:46.880 Is that

00:54:47.840 racist?

00:54:49.060 It refers

00:54:49.860 to the

00:54:50.620 formation of

00:54:51.400 the nation

00:54:53.260 of Israel

00:54:53.760 and then

00:54:55.560 protecting

00:54:56.120 that nation.

00:54:57.740 what's the

00:55:00.780 anti-Semitic

00:55:01.560 part?

00:55:01.880 What am I

00:55:02.200 missing?

00:55:04.000 Can somebody

00:55:04.460 fill me in?

00:55:06.820 I mean,

00:55:07.300 I honestly

00:55:08.140 don't know.

00:55:11.660 Right,

00:55:12.300 there are

00:55:12.820 plenty of

00:55:13.700 people who

00:55:14.900 are Jewish

00:55:15.560 who don't

00:55:16.400 approve of

00:55:16.960 Zionism,

00:55:18.300 meaning they

00:55:18.840 don't approve

00:55:19.560 of Israel

00:55:20.300 having, you

00:55:21.100 know,

00:55:21.520 I guess,

00:55:21.840 a Jewish

00:55:22.160 state.

00:55:23.280 So,

00:55:23.600 there's

00:55:23.880 somebody who

00:55:24.300 disagrees with

00:55:24.840 everything.

00:55:25.120 right?

00:55:25.680 There's no

00:55:26.020 issue that

00:55:26.500 you don't

00:55:26.860 have

00:55:27.020 discreement

00:55:27.460 on.

00:55:28.420 So,

00:55:28.900 everybody,

00:55:29.620 there's

00:55:29.940 always going

00:55:30.360 to be

00:55:30.460 somebody

00:55:30.780 discreement

00:55:31.260 on.

00:55:34.200 Does

00:55:34.700 anybody

00:55:34.960 have

00:55:35.160 any

00:55:35.380 idea

00:55:35.760 why

00:55:37.260 the

00:55:37.620 word,

00:55:38.280 the Z-word

00:55:39.060 is,

00:55:41.360 if you

00:55:41.880 don't

00:55:42.320 agree

00:55:42.760 with

00:55:43.320 prioritizing

00:55:45.700 Israel

00:55:47.080 over the

00:55:47.480 United States,

00:55:48.160 are you

00:55:48.760 automatically

00:55:49.720 anti-Semitic?

00:55:51.540 is it

00:55:53.680 because,

00:55:54.780 here's my

00:55:55.500 best hypothesis,

00:55:56.660 I'll see if

00:55:57.080 this rings

00:55:58.080 true.

00:55:59.180 There is a

00:55:59.980 second,

00:56:00.800 well,

00:56:01.080 let's say,

00:56:02.520 there's an

00:56:02.960 alternative use

00:56:04.040 of that

00:56:04.460 Z-word

00:56:05.060 by people

00:56:07.140 who are

00:56:07.500 unambiguously

00:56:08.260 racist,

00:56:09.320 and see it

00:56:10.320 part of a

00:56:10.780 global

00:56:11.220 conspiracy.

00:56:13.500 But that's

00:56:14.320 not the

00:56:14.820 dictionary

00:56:16.020 definition.

00:56:17.540 The dictionary

00:56:18.120 definition is

00:56:19.200 not what

00:56:20.340 the worldwide

00:56:21.600 conspiracy

00:56:22.560 theorists are

00:56:23.300 saying.

00:56:24.060 That's their

00:56:24.480 own definition,

00:56:25.660 or their

00:56:26.320 own usage

00:56:26.800 of it.

00:56:28.120 The common

00:56:29.260 usage of

00:56:29.880 it is

00:56:31.320 the formation

00:56:31.900 of Israel

00:56:32.460 and then

00:56:32.880 the support

00:56:33.420 of it

00:56:33.740 as a

00:56:34.160 Jewish

00:56:34.400 state.

00:56:35.700 Isn't

00:56:35.980 it?

00:56:37.120 Isn't

00:56:37.440 that the

00:56:37.740 definition,

00:56:39.680 right?

00:56:41.060 And I

00:56:41.680 actually looked

00:56:42.160 for the

00:56:42.460 definition,

00:56:43.420 because I

00:56:43.760 thought maybe

00:56:44.220 there was an

00:56:45.480 element to

00:56:45.940 the definition

00:56:46.400 I didn't

00:56:46.800 get.

00:56:47.880 But here's

00:56:48.600 my best

00:56:49.240 take.

00:56:50.340 My best

00:56:51.660 take is

00:56:53.140 that, of

00:56:53.780 course, Thomas

00:56:55.200 Massey is

00:56:55.880 not using

00:56:56.500 it in an

00:56:57.400 anti-Semitic

00:56:58.600 way.

00:56:59.720 Let me

00:57:01.420 just say

00:57:01.760 this.

00:57:03.740 Thomas

00:57:04.140 Massey,

00:57:05.120 you think he

00:57:06.060 did an

00:57:06.400 anti-Semitic

00:57:07.200 post?

00:57:08.720 Like this

00:57:09.700 soon after

00:57:10.200 October 7th,

00:57:11.900 an elected

00:57:12.980 member of

00:57:13.520 Congress.

00:57:14.760 You think he

00:57:15.340 did an

00:57:15.880 unambiguous

00:57:16.600 anti-Semitic

00:57:18.180 post, which

00:57:19.400 he knew

00:57:19.720 he was

00:57:20.040 doing?

00:57:21.260 Really?

00:57:22.260 Yeah.

00:57:22.980 Really?

00:57:24.300 Could you

00:57:25.740 actually stand

00:57:26.440 in front of

00:57:26.960 me and

00:57:27.480 tell me you

00:57:27.920 believe that?

00:57:32.760 But here's

00:57:33.760 my best

00:57:34.340 defense of

00:57:37.560 Schumer.

00:57:38.200 All right,

00:57:38.460 so let me

00:57:38.800 steel man

00:57:39.420 this.

00:57:39.740 Is that the

00:57:40.060 right word?

00:57:40.940 So I'm

00:57:41.200 going to

00:57:41.320 take Schumer's

00:57:42.120 point of

00:57:42.480 view and

00:57:43.600 argue it

00:57:44.200 the best I

00:57:44.660 can.

00:57:44.840 it is

00:57:46.960 true that

00:57:48.240 people who

00:57:48.860 are definitely

00:57:49.500 anti-Semitic

00:57:50.440 have used

00:57:52.220 the word

00:57:52.620 Zion as

00:57:53.380 an integral

00:57:54.720 part of

00:57:55.560 their

00:57:55.780 anti-Semitic

00:57:56.900 larger

00:57:58.160 messaging.

00:57:59.040 Is that

00:57:59.360 true?

00:58:00.920 Can we

00:58:01.520 agree on

00:58:02.000 that?

00:58:03.000 That the

00:58:03.720 people who

00:58:04.120 are unambiguously

00:58:05.280 anti-Semitic,

00:58:06.760 especially

00:58:07.100 online,

00:58:08.320 use the

00:58:08.940 Z word

00:58:09.400 as part of

00:58:10.640 their

00:58:10.800 anti-Semitic

00:58:11.740 messaging.

00:58:12.240 So if

00:58:13.760 you're

00:58:14.000 associating

00:58:14.600 with that

00:58:15.060 group in

00:58:15.540 any way,

00:58:16.880 like even

00:58:17.360 by using

00:58:17.940 their wording,

00:58:19.880 well,

00:58:20.200 that's maybe

00:58:21.440 a little

00:58:21.760 suggestive of

00:58:22.560 anti-Semitic

00:58:23.340 because you're

00:58:24.540 borrowing their

00:58:25.160 language.

00:58:26.300 I can see

00:58:26.800 that.

00:58:27.680 I can see

00:58:28.880 why somebody

00:58:29.440 would ask

00:58:30.040 you to

00:58:30.800 disavow

00:58:32.120 the post,

00:58:33.080 but that's

00:58:34.240 really different

00:58:35.060 from being

00:58:35.460 anti-Semitic.

00:58:36.800 So I don't

00:58:37.460 believe that

00:58:38.040 even Schumer

00:58:38.760 believes that

00:58:40.460 Massey is

00:58:41.280 anti-Semitic.

00:58:42.240 he's talking

00:58:42.760 about the

00:58:43.500 choice of

00:58:44.000 how to

00:58:44.240 message.

00:58:45.540 Would you

00:58:45.880 agree with

00:58:46.300 that?

00:58:47.140 That even

00:58:47.720 Schumer is

00:58:48.460 not saying

00:58:48.940 he is

00:58:49.520 anti-Semitic.

00:58:50.920 He's simply

00:58:51.540 objecting to

00:58:52.780 the messaging

00:58:53.700 because it's

00:58:55.180 too suggestive

00:58:56.180 of a

00:58:57.480 world in

00:58:58.060 which they

00:58:58.400 use that

00:58:58.860 word too

00:58:59.260 much in

00:59:00.620 the worst

00:59:00.940 way.

00:59:02.200 But here's

00:59:02.660 the thing.

00:59:04.640 Massey's

00:59:05.120 not an

00:59:05.540 idiot.

00:59:06.880 He's just

00:59:07.540 using words

00:59:08.420 the way

00:59:08.740 words are

00:59:09.800 used.

00:59:10.080 here's

00:59:17.340 the other

00:59:17.580 thing you

00:59:17.880 need to

00:59:18.120 know.

00:59:18.740 This

00:59:19.000 applies to

00:59:19.520 my situation

00:59:20.420 of my

00:59:21.180 own

00:59:21.400 cancelling,

00:59:22.320 but also

00:59:22.940 almost all

00:59:23.620 the other

00:59:23.980 cancelling.

00:59:25.220 It's never

00:59:26.060 about the

00:59:26.480 person who

00:59:26.900 gets cancelled.

00:59:29.060 The public

00:59:30.120 and the

00:59:31.400 political

00:59:32.080 players,

00:59:32.960 they use

00:59:33.860 stories about

00:59:34.740 public figures

00:59:36.520 things to

00:59:37.360 attach their

00:59:37.980 messaging to.

00:59:39.240 So it's

00:59:39.520 never really

00:59:40.120 about the

00:59:40.520 public figure.

00:59:41.920 None of

00:59:42.220 this is

00:59:42.560 about Thomas

00:59:43.160 Massey.

00:59:43.960 It's about

00:59:44.740 the fact

00:59:45.240 that some

00:59:45.680 people want

00:59:46.820 to make

00:59:47.100 sure you

00:59:47.620 know that

00:59:48.500 they're as

00:59:49.120 supportive as

00:59:49.800 they could

00:59:50.060 be in the

00:59:50.440 Jewish

00:59:50.660 community,

00:59:51.100 and they

00:59:52.360 want you

00:59:52.700 to know

00:59:53.100 that they

00:59:54.460 won't

00:59:55.060 tolerate

00:59:55.740 anything that

00:59:56.580 looks even

00:59:57.100 suggestive of

00:59:58.100 being on

00:59:58.440 the other

00:59:58.720 side.

00:59:59.020 So the

01:00:02.380 way to

01:00:02.680 interpret it

01:00:03.280 has nothing

01:00:04.040 to do with

01:00:04.460 Thomas

01:00:04.700 Massey,

01:00:05.420 because it

01:00:06.140 legitimately

01:00:06.680 has nothing

01:00:08.060 to do with

01:00:08.560 Thomas Massey.

01:00:09.680 He just

01:00:10.080 used English

01:00:10.880 words the

01:00:11.440 way they're

01:00:11.780 used and

01:00:12.360 the way he

01:00:12.740 likes to

01:00:13.140 use them.

01:00:14.280 Everybody

01:00:14.740 understood

01:00:15.300 exactly what

01:00:16.340 he meant.

01:00:17.280 There was

01:00:17.780 no confusion

01:00:19.540 about what

01:00:20.300 he meant

01:00:20.720 or who

01:00:21.780 he is.

01:00:23.060 But still,

01:00:24.320 fucking

01:00:24.840 assholes

01:00:25.440 can turn

01:00:29.000 it into

01:00:29.440 something

01:00:29.880 because it's

01:00:30.540 easy to

01:00:31.000 do.

01:00:33.540 But also,

01:00:38.060 here's the

01:00:38.760 other thing

01:00:39.220 you should

01:00:39.500 be aware

01:00:39.840 of.

01:00:42.080 This is a

01:00:42.840 hot war.

01:00:45.140 This is not

01:00:45.680 a theoretical.

01:00:47.080 Israel's at

01:00:47.740 war, and

01:00:49.900 they're right

01:00:50.220 in the thick

01:00:50.700 of it.

01:00:51.900 Here's what I

01:00:52.660 would not ask

01:00:53.380 you to assume.

01:00:55.040 Don't assume

01:00:56.220 that people are

01:00:57.020 being objective

01:00:57.820 observers of

01:00:58.780 anything.

01:01:00.060 There's no

01:01:00.920 objectivity

01:01:01.660 happening here.

01:01:03.320 And if you

01:01:03.760 try some

01:01:04.280 objectivity,

01:01:05.000 you're going

01:01:05.260 to get your

01:01:05.660 ass handed

01:01:06.180 to it.

01:01:08.040 So a lot

01:01:09.980 of the

01:01:10.520 messaging pro

01:01:11.660 and con

01:01:12.100 of everything

01:01:12.640 is more

01:01:13.760 about do

01:01:15.280 you support

01:01:16.100 Israel?

01:01:18.560 So this

01:01:19.880 is the

01:01:20.220 point where

01:01:20.900 any little

01:01:23.060 diversion from

01:01:25.340 the perfect

01:01:26.040 messaging in

01:01:26.860 favor of

01:01:27.400 Israel is

01:01:28.560 going to

01:01:28.800 get a lot

01:01:29.360 of scrutiny.

01:01:30.440 I'm surprised

01:01:30.980 it hasn't

01:01:31.320 happened to

01:01:31.660 me yet.

01:01:33.720 You know,

01:01:34.260 I've said

01:01:34.580 from the

01:01:34.920 start, I'm

01:01:35.880 100%

01:01:36.860 backing

01:01:38.100 Israel, and

01:01:39.760 my reasons

01:01:40.620 are easy.

01:01:42.560 My reasons

01:01:43.220 are easy.

01:01:44.740 It's what

01:01:45.420 any country

01:01:46.060 would do.

01:01:47.920 Any country

01:01:48.860 who would

01:01:49.320 experience what

01:01:50.060 they did on

01:01:50.540 October 7th

01:01:51.580 would respond

01:01:52.600 same way

01:01:53.740 if they

01:01:54.240 could, if

01:01:54.960 they had

01:01:55.180 the military

01:01:55.680 might to

01:01:56.100 do it.

01:01:56.920 So having

01:01:57.480 an opinion

01:01:57.940 on it to

01:01:58.480 me just

01:01:58.880 seemed like

01:01:59.240 a waste

01:01:59.540 of time.

01:02:00.740 It's just

01:02:01.260 going to

01:02:01.540 happen.

01:02:02.480 My opinion

01:02:03.020 isn't going

01:02:03.480 to change

01:02:03.740 anything.

01:02:04.920 So I'm

01:02:06.760 100%

01:02:07.440 understanding

01:02:09.180 of it and

01:02:09.800 supportive of

01:02:10.540 it, but I

01:02:14.100 don't know

01:02:14.660 that that will

01:02:15.040 protect me.

01:02:16.060 Because you

01:02:16.560 realize the

01:02:17.140 first second

01:02:18.000 I say

01:02:18.620 something that

01:02:19.360 could be

01:02:20.480 interpreted as

01:02:21.640 off message,

01:02:23.740 the ADL

01:02:24.460 will come

01:02:24.780 after me.

01:02:26.360 Right?

01:02:28.180 But you

01:02:29.000 can't be

01:02:29.520 100% in

01:02:30.820 favor of

01:02:31.440 Israel and

01:02:33.380 still be

01:02:33.820 safe.

01:02:35.940 You're just

01:02:36.680 not safe.

01:02:37.720 And I think

01:02:38.120 Massey is an

01:02:38.700 example of

01:02:39.140 that.

01:02:41.300 Anyway,

01:02:42.320 there's enough

01:02:42.640 about that.

01:02:44.480 All right.

01:02:46.660 As Mike

01:02:48.380 Sunovich has

01:02:49.040 pointed out,

01:02:49.720 I'll just

01:02:52.860 read his

01:02:53.360 post.

01:02:54.200 He said

01:02:54.480 Bill Ackman

01:02:55.260 and the

01:02:55.600 Harvard

01:02:55.860 donors are

01:02:57.060 the leading

01:02:57.820 indicators of

01:02:58.860 2024.

01:03:00.440 He will

01:03:00.760 never openly

01:03:01.560 support Trump,

01:03:02.500 talking about

01:03:03.100 Ackman.

01:03:04.020 Not the

01:03:04.560 point.

01:03:05.480 Even Trump

01:03:06.060 haters see a

01:03:07.060 huge mess,

01:03:08.220 meaning the

01:03:08.680 country.

01:03:09.980 Imagine what

01:03:10.780 most Americans

01:03:11.420 are thinking.

01:03:12.640 Then Mike

01:03:15.280 finishes in his

01:03:16.340 usual provocative

01:03:17.220 way.

01:03:18.100 He says,

01:03:18.380 that's why the

01:03:18.940 regime is

01:03:19.480 using media

01:03:20.300 apparatchiks to

01:03:22.720 incite

01:03:23.180 assassination.

01:03:25.860 Hyperbole?

01:03:27.180 Is that too

01:03:28.100 far?

01:03:29.460 Is that an

01:03:30.140 exaggeration?

01:03:32.360 Do you think

01:03:32.980 the Democrats

01:03:33.720 have an

01:03:35.340 intentional

01:03:35.900 strategy of

01:03:37.760 getting Trump

01:03:38.780 assassinated

01:03:39.520 because it's

01:03:41.340 the only way

01:03:41.780 they can

01:03:42.140 stop an

01:03:44.020 obvious train

01:03:45.320 that's out of

01:03:45.800 control, which

01:03:46.920 is their own

01:03:47.420 train, but

01:03:48.840 they don't

01:03:49.140 want Republicans

01:03:50.600 to stop it.

01:03:51.500 They want to, I

01:03:52.040 guess, keep the

01:03:52.560 train going.

01:03:55.080 I agree with

01:03:56.000 this completely,

01:03:56.900 and I'm going

01:03:57.540 to add some

01:03:58.860 weight to it.

01:04:00.900 Here's some

01:04:01.580 weight.

01:04:03.620 Rob Reiner

01:04:04.500 says that

01:04:06.680 Trump would be

01:04:07.240 the end of

01:04:07.860 democracy.

01:04:10.000 Rob Reiner,

01:04:10.780 who's the

01:04:12.560 head of an

01:04:12.920 organization that

01:04:13.760 includes some

01:04:14.460 former CIA

01:04:15.280 members on

01:04:16.020 it.

01:04:16.480 Some say,

01:04:18.080 without evidence,

01:04:19.940 that Rob Reiner

01:04:20.880 might be part of

01:04:21.680 the deep state

01:04:22.320 blob and not

01:04:24.080 just a

01:04:24.540 personal opinion.

01:04:26.920 Some say.

01:04:28.340 But if that

01:04:28.840 were true, I

01:04:30.200 don't know that

01:04:30.640 that's true.

01:04:31.200 I know that he

01:04:31.780 acts exactly like

01:04:33.180 he's part of the

01:04:34.460 deep state.

01:04:35.420 I don't know

01:04:36.120 that it's true.

01:04:37.440 I just know his

01:04:38.680 actions are

01:04:39.240 consistent with it.

01:04:41.080 And if it

01:04:42.720 were, and he

01:04:44.040 says it's the

01:04:44.540 end of democracy,

01:04:45.480 what does that

01:04:45.860 signal to you?

01:04:48.320 Well, by

01:04:49.000 itself, it

01:04:49.580 would just be

01:04:50.060 political blah,

01:04:51.280 blah, blah,

01:04:51.740 right?

01:04:52.500 Because people

01:04:53.000 say stuff like

01:04:53.800 that.

01:04:54.800 But when you

01:04:55.240 say it about

01:04:55.700 Trump, and

01:04:57.020 it's in the

01:04:57.440 context of all

01:04:58.240 this other

01:04:58.660 stuff that I'm

01:04:59.280 going to

01:04:59.480 mention, it

01:05:00.980 does feel like

01:05:01.640 a call to

01:05:02.220 assassination.

01:05:04.240 It does.

01:05:05.800 Because if you

01:05:06.560 can tell people

01:05:07.320 that Trump is

01:05:08.300 bad enough, he's

01:05:09.960 enough of a

01:05:10.480 Hitler dictator

01:05:11.360 tyrant, then

01:05:12.940 you can make

01:05:13.460 the case that

01:05:14.880 there's nothing

01:05:15.700 that's out of

01:05:16.780 bounds to

01:05:17.420 stop him.

01:05:19.080 Nothing's

01:05:19.520 out of bounds.

01:05:20.660 So look for

01:05:21.600 this in their

01:05:22.380 messaging.

01:05:23.640 Nothing's out

01:05:24.300 of bounds.

01:05:25.180 They won't say

01:05:25.720 that, but they

01:05:27.120 will say, well,

01:05:28.740 he might murder

01:05:29.700 your children, so

01:05:30.800 do what you have

01:05:31.620 to do.

01:05:33.780 You know?

01:05:34.700 It's going to

01:05:35.120 look like

01:05:35.460 that.

01:05:37.240 All right,

01:05:37.480 what else?

01:05:38.600 Liz Cheney

01:05:39.180 warns that a

01:05:39.840 vote for

01:05:40.240 Trump, quote,

01:05:41.520 may mean the

01:05:42.260 last election

01:05:43.140 that you get

01:05:44.300 to vote

01:05:44.700 in.

01:05:45.520 Ah, so

01:05:46.920 Liz Cheney

01:05:48.320 says that

01:05:49.640 you will

01:05:50.300 probably lose

01:05:52.020 your country

01:05:52.600 if you let

01:05:54.460 him win.

01:05:55.680 But what

01:05:56.020 does Joe

01:05:57.120 Biden say?

01:05:58.760 Is there

01:05:59.080 anything

01:05:59.600 scary-sounding?

01:06:03.400 He says,

01:06:04.400 we cannot

01:06:07.120 let him

01:06:07.900 win.

01:06:10.260 We cannot

01:06:11.080 let Trump

01:06:11.780 win.

01:06:13.000 That's an

01:06:13.680 interesting way

01:06:14.320 to word it,

01:06:14.860 isn't it?

01:06:16.720 Usually,

01:06:17.360 usually it's

01:06:18.040 something like,

01:06:19.380 we have to,

01:06:20.180 you know,

01:06:20.500 we have to

01:06:20.860 fight to win.

01:06:22.060 If he wins,

01:06:23.040 you know,

01:06:23.300 there'll be a

01:06:23.740 bad country,

01:06:24.460 but if I win,

01:06:25.100 it'll be good.

01:06:26.120 But that

01:06:26.460 phrase,

01:06:27.060 we cannot

01:06:27.760 let him

01:06:28.420 win,

01:06:28.740 does that

01:06:30.020 sound like

01:06:30.480 permission to

01:06:31.140 do anything

01:06:31.800 to keep him

01:06:32.600 from,

01:06:33.300 if you

01:06:33.720 cannot,

01:06:35.060 that seems

01:06:35.880 like it's

01:06:36.260 going beyond

01:06:36.820 preference.

01:06:39.240 Cannot

01:06:39.680 is a

01:06:40.180 decision.

01:06:41.560 See the

01:06:41.940 difference?

01:06:43.020 We don't

01:06:43.660 want him to

01:06:44.140 win as a

01:06:44.620 preference.

01:06:45.540 Our team

01:06:46.180 would do

01:06:46.440 better as a

01:06:46.920 preference.

01:06:47.380 He'd do a

01:06:47.760 bad job as

01:06:48.320 a preference.

01:06:49.720 I'd do a

01:06:50.140 good job as

01:06:50.640 a preference.

01:06:51.640 He has

01:06:52.200 bad policies,

01:06:53.080 that's a

01:06:53.360 preference.

01:06:53.980 I have

01:06:54.240 good policies,

01:06:54.900 that's a

01:06:55.180 preference.

01:06:56.360 We cannot

01:06:57.340 let him

01:06:58.380 win,

01:06:58.740 is a

01:06:59.220 decision.

01:07:00.480 That's not

01:07:01.180 a preference.

01:07:02.900 That is

01:07:03.860 allowing

01:07:04.760 anything.

01:07:06.800 We cannot.

01:07:09.500 Cannot is

01:07:10.240 a really

01:07:10.560 strong,

01:07:11.600 and it

01:07:12.080 feels like

01:07:12.700 you meant

01:07:15.120 it.

01:07:20.280 I swear

01:07:21.120 to God,

01:07:21.680 we just

01:07:22.140 have to

01:07:22.500 have the

01:07:22.840 all caps

01:07:23.660 filter.

01:07:25.040 if I

01:07:26.320 read you

01:07:26.780 the stuff

01:07:27.840 that the

01:07:28.960 all caps

01:07:29.580 people are

01:07:30.320 saying on

01:07:30.820 YouTube,

01:07:31.780 you would

01:07:32.580 just laugh.

01:07:34.200 It's like,

01:07:35.040 why do you

01:07:35.880 label yourself

01:07:36.640 as a

01:07:37.360 fucking

01:07:37.660 idiot?

01:07:39.380 Like,

01:07:39.940 why would

01:07:40.220 you label

01:07:40.780 yourself?

01:07:41.940 Hi,

01:07:42.540 I'm a

01:07:42.940 fucking

01:07:43.200 idiot.

01:07:43.980 Look at

01:07:44.300 my all

01:07:44.700 caps

01:07:44.940 statement.

01:07:45.940 Oh,

01:07:46.380 oh,

01:07:46.940 oh.

01:07:47.200 all right.

01:07:55.560 So the

01:07:56.540 Democrat

01:07:57.300 playbook

01:07:58.100 is they're

01:08:01.220 going to

01:08:01.440 go after

01:08:01.860 the following

01:08:02.580 things from

01:08:03.520 the

01:08:04.140 Republicans.

01:08:05.780 So here's

01:08:06.460 their attack

01:08:07.060 on the

01:08:07.600 Republicans.

01:08:09.160 They're going

01:08:09.880 to go after

01:08:10.300 the potential

01:08:11.580 for a

01:08:12.100 national

01:08:12.460 abortion

01:08:13.040 ban.

01:08:13.860 Republicans

01:08:14.460 talk about

01:08:15.160 that.

01:08:15.400 Apparently

01:08:16.120 Trump has

01:08:17.880 wisely

01:08:18.520 refused to

01:08:19.940 engage on

01:08:20.560 that question,

01:08:21.520 which is

01:08:22.920 the right

01:08:23.760 political

01:08:24.480 stance.

01:08:26.140 And as

01:08:27.400 others have

01:08:27.900 pointed out,

01:08:28.580 assuming that

01:08:29.220 Democrats still

01:08:30.040 have some

01:08:31.040 power in

01:08:31.580 Congress,

01:08:32.480 I don't see

01:08:33.060 how there

01:08:33.340 would ever

01:08:33.600 be a

01:08:33.920 national

01:08:34.260 abortion

01:08:34.780 ban.

01:08:35.240 Do you?

01:08:36.700 How in

01:08:37.480 the world

01:08:37.780 would Congress

01:08:38.380 change so

01:08:39.160 much that

01:08:40.720 you could

01:08:41.060 get a vote

01:08:41.580 for a

01:08:41.940 national

01:08:42.280 abortion

01:08:42.720 ban?

01:08:43.640 Does that

01:08:43.940 even sound

01:08:44.400 like something

01:08:44.820 that could

01:08:45.160 happen?

01:08:47.380 Don't say

01:08:48.060 whether you'd

01:08:48.460 like it or

01:08:48.940 not, but

01:08:49.480 is it

01:08:50.180 possible?

01:08:52.400 It doesn't

01:08:53.120 seem like

01:08:53.560 it, but

01:08:54.240 it's a good

01:08:54.620 political

01:08:55.100 club, because

01:08:59.440 to the extent

01:09:00.140 that Democrats

01:09:00.660 think it

01:09:01.220 could happen,

01:09:03.240 it's a good

01:09:03.820 approach.

01:09:06.940 I don't

01:09:07.200 know.

01:09:07.340 They say

01:09:08.080 that Trump

01:09:08.900 will cut

01:09:09.360 climate

01:09:09.760 funding.

01:09:10.800 He probably

01:09:11.080 will.

01:09:11.440 and then

01:09:14.100 they say

01:09:14.400 he'll

01:09:14.600 undercut

01:09:15.100 and attack

01:09:15.540 American

01:09:15.960 democracy.

01:09:17.500 This is

01:09:18.120 coming from

01:09:18.580 some

01:09:18.840 Democrat

01:09:19.640 advisor.

01:09:24.260 All right,

01:09:24.740 and then he's

01:09:25.600 going to punish

01:09:26.120 his political

01:09:26.720 opponents

01:09:27.500 and be a

01:09:30.100 dictator.

01:09:31.260 So,

01:09:32.120 Trump does

01:09:33.100 this town

01:09:33.560 hall thing

01:09:33.960 on Hannity.

01:09:34.900 He's asked

01:09:35.620 the question

01:09:36.140 about being

01:09:36.560 a dictator.

01:09:37.520 You remember

01:09:37.880 what I told

01:09:38.440 you?

01:09:39.640 I told

01:09:40.400 you that

01:09:40.760 he should

01:09:41.240 mock

01:09:42.940 people for

01:09:44.800 that idea.

01:09:46.960 You just

01:09:47.280 laugh at

01:09:47.800 him.

01:09:49.100 He did

01:09:49.460 not do

01:09:49.820 that.

01:09:51.180 Instead,

01:09:52.200 he makes

01:09:55.560 it so hard

01:09:56.640 to support

01:09:58.560 him.

01:09:59.660 Instead,

01:10:00.180 he said,

01:10:00.840 I'll only be

01:10:01.520 a dictator

01:10:01.980 for the

01:10:02.360 first day.

01:10:04.380 Come on.

01:10:05.180 can you

01:10:10.500 give me

01:10:11.020 any little

01:10:13.100 relief here?

01:10:15.260 Can you

01:10:16.180 possibly

01:10:16.960 give me a

01:10:17.760 chance of

01:10:18.260 surviving the

01:10:19.160 next year?

01:10:20.540 I feel like

01:10:21.500 I'm going to

01:10:21.940 get assassinated.

01:10:23.720 If I say

01:10:24.760 two more

01:10:25.240 good things

01:10:25.840 about him

01:10:26.280 and he

01:10:26.600 says one

01:10:27.060 more thing

01:10:27.520 about being

01:10:28.000 a dictator

01:10:28.560 for the

01:10:28.980 first day,

01:10:29.780 I feel like

01:10:30.620 I'm going

01:10:31.140 to get

01:10:31.360 assassinated.

01:10:32.680 Can you

01:10:33.020 try a little

01:10:33.560 harder to

01:10:34.060 keep me

01:10:34.360 alive for

01:10:34.920 the next

01:10:35.240 year?

01:10:36.180 Fuck.

01:10:37.400 Are you

01:10:37.760 kidding me?

01:10:39.360 Don't say

01:10:39.980 you're going

01:10:40.300 to be a

01:10:40.620 dictator the

01:10:41.260 first day,

01:10:42.340 but only

01:10:42.860 the first

01:10:43.280 day.

01:10:44.340 Only the

01:10:44.800 first day.

01:10:45.920 Now,

01:10:47.140 was he

01:10:48.060 joking?

01:10:48.980 Of course.

01:10:50.700 Of course

01:10:51.300 he was

01:10:51.580 joking.

01:10:52.560 But when

01:10:53.040 it gets

01:10:53.340 re-quoted

01:10:54.080 or just

01:10:54.880 quoted,

01:10:55.820 you don't

01:10:56.220 get the

01:10:56.580 joke part.

01:10:58.180 You don't

01:10:58.700 get that he

01:10:59.200 wasn't taking

01:10:59.780 any of it

01:11:00.360 seriously.

01:11:01.520 So,

01:11:01.940 of course,

01:11:03.060 the news

01:11:03.660 today is

01:11:04.840 that he

01:11:05.140 says,

01:11:05.660 yeah,

01:11:05.800 I'm going

01:11:06.020 to be a

01:11:06.300 dictator on

01:11:06.780 the first

01:11:07.080 day.

01:11:08.140 They're

01:11:08.540 literally

01:11:08.940 quoting him

01:11:09.600 as saying,

01:11:10.000 I'm going

01:11:10.240 to be a

01:11:10.540 dictator on

01:11:11.120 day one.

01:11:12.700 Because he

01:11:13.280 actually said

01:11:13.860 that.

01:11:15.180 But then he

01:11:15.880 said,

01:11:16.280 you know,

01:11:16.500 only day

01:11:16.900 one,

01:11:17.340 because he

01:11:18.560 gives some

01:11:18.800 stuff done

01:11:19.280 or whatever.

01:11:21.080 And it

01:11:21.600 didn't even

01:11:21.960 make sense.

01:11:23.660 It didn't

01:11:24.280 make sense

01:11:24.760 because he

01:11:25.220 wouldn't have

01:11:25.700 to be a

01:11:26.120 dictator.

01:11:27.680 You know,

01:11:28.180 if he

01:11:28.460 actually has

01:11:28.940 the powers

01:11:29.400 to do the

01:11:29.880 things he

01:11:30.240 wants to do,

01:11:30.780 he doesn't

01:11:31.080 need to be a

01:11:31.540 dictator.

01:11:31.760 Why would

01:11:32.840 he say

01:11:33.180 that?

01:11:34.060 Why?

01:11:35.060 Why?

01:11:36.380 Come on.

01:11:38.020 Make it a

01:11:38.720 little bit

01:11:39.080 easier for

01:11:39.820 us.

01:11:40.180 A little

01:11:41.020 bit.

01:11:42.620 All right.

01:11:43.120 Well, I

01:11:43.560 think he'll

01:11:43.900 probably trend

01:11:44.580 in the right

01:11:45.020 direction on

01:11:45.600 that.

01:11:45.820 I think

01:11:53.500 he needs

01:11:54.240 to be

01:11:54.540 funnier

01:11:55.180 in

01:11:56.300 mocking

01:11:56.700 him.

01:11:58.700 He needs

01:11:59.420 to make

01:12:00.200 sure

01:12:00.640 everybody

01:12:01.120 knows

01:12:01.660 that he

01:12:02.180 thinks

01:12:02.500 you're

01:12:02.780 an idiot

01:12:03.700 for thinking

01:12:04.140 it.

01:12:04.720 Here would

01:12:05.240 be the

01:12:05.520 way I'd

01:12:05.900 explain it.

01:12:07.140 You want

01:12:07.380 to hear

01:12:07.560 the fastest

01:12:08.440 persuasive

01:12:09.620 argument for

01:12:10.980 how he

01:12:11.400 will not

01:12:11.800 become a

01:12:12.240 dictator?

01:12:13.820 All right,

01:12:14.060 here it

01:12:14.260 goes.

01:12:14.540 Become a

01:12:15.880 dictator?

01:12:17.260 I've been

01:12:18.020 president for

01:12:18.720 four years.

01:12:20.160 Do you

01:12:20.320 know how

01:12:20.680 hard it

01:12:21.120 is to

01:12:21.560 get anything

01:12:22.960 done?

01:12:24.240 Do you

01:12:24.420 know how

01:12:24.660 many people

01:12:25.080 would have

01:12:25.400 to be

01:12:25.660 involved in

01:12:26.960 any small

01:12:27.920 decision?

01:12:29.100 Even the

01:12:29.600 smallest thing

01:12:30.580 has to be

01:12:32.360 approved by

01:12:33.340 this miles

01:12:34.680 of bureaucracy.

01:12:36.200 Do you

01:12:36.400 know how

01:12:36.680 many of the

01:12:37.100 bureaucracy are

01:12:38.100 Trump supporters?

01:12:39.700 Mostly not.

01:12:41.540 Mostly not.

01:12:42.740 You've got a

01:12:43.160 whole government

01:12:43.720 of people

01:12:44.180 who are

01:12:44.440 against me

01:12:45.040 who work

01:12:45.480 for me.

01:12:46.540 How in

01:12:46.880 the world

01:12:47.400 am I going

01:12:48.400 to become

01:12:48.700 a dictator

01:12:49.240 when I

01:12:50.420 can't even

01:12:50.740 get an

01:12:51.120 executive order

01:12:51.980 passed that

01:12:52.660 doesn't get

01:12:53.120 reversed in

01:12:54.440 a few months

01:12:54.980 by the next

01:12:55.460 president?

01:12:56.740 How in

01:12:57.140 the world?

01:12:58.440 I couldn't

01:12:59.440 even get the

01:13:00.060 National Guard

01:13:00.980 to protect the

01:13:02.160 Capitol on

01:13:02.680 January 6th.

01:13:04.260 How in the

01:13:04.940 world do I

01:13:05.600 become a

01:13:06.200 dictator?

01:13:07.180 Can somebody

01:13:07.700 tell me that

01:13:08.920 plan?

01:13:09.280 like if I

01:13:10.880 make a

01:13:11.460 phone call

01:13:11.840 and tell

01:13:12.400 somebody to

01:13:12.880 do some

01:13:13.320 dictator

01:13:13.800 stuff?

01:13:14.620 In your

01:13:15.340 world do

01:13:15.840 they go

01:13:16.140 do it?

01:13:17.220 In my

01:13:17.660 world it

01:13:18.520 starts this

01:13:19.060 big bureaucratic

01:13:21.680 process which

01:13:22.940 stops everything

01:13:23.640 from happening.

01:13:25.540 I can't even do

01:13:26.480 easy things.

01:13:27.420 I can't even do

01:13:28.060 things you want.

01:13:29.400 You know what

01:13:29.740 else I can't

01:13:30.520 get done?

01:13:31.460 I can't build

01:13:32.220 a wall and

01:13:33.000 most of you

01:13:33.500 want one.

01:13:33.940 think about

01:13:36.380 that.

01:13:37.260 Not only can

01:13:37.880 I not take

01:13:38.540 over the

01:13:38.860 country by

01:13:39.420 talking,

01:13:40.840 by talking.

01:13:43.120 I'm not going

01:13:43.860 to become a

01:13:44.320 dictator because

01:13:44.940 I talked

01:13:45.440 myself into

01:13:46.120 it and

01:13:46.960 talked you

01:13:47.420 into it.

01:13:48.140 You would

01:13:48.780 need the

01:13:49.080 entire function

01:13:50.440 and structure

01:13:51.100 and the

01:13:51.880 military to

01:13:53.220 somehow be on

01:13:53.920 the same side

01:13:54.560 of that.

01:13:55.620 I can't even

01:13:56.300 get Congress

01:13:57.820 to do the

01:13:58.460 things that

01:13:59.320 most of the

01:14:00.020 people in the

01:14:00.500 world want to

01:14:01.100 be done.

01:14:01.900 I can't even

01:14:02.480 get easy

01:14:03.020 things done.

01:14:04.500 How in the

01:14:05.180 world am I

01:14:05.740 going to take

01:14:06.140 over the

01:14:06.480 country by

01:14:08.340 posting on

01:14:09.160 truth?

01:14:11.400 He's not

01:14:12.000 even on

01:14:12.380 social media.

01:14:15.120 He's only on

01:14:15.880 his own social

01:14:16.480 media.

01:14:17.400 How in the

01:14:17.860 world is he

01:14:18.480 going to take

01:14:18.880 over the

01:14:19.320 country?

01:14:20.740 I mean, to

01:14:21.080 me, that's

01:14:21.440 just funny.

01:14:24.320 And here's

01:14:24.980 why that's

01:14:25.400 persuasive.

01:14:27.880 Because as

01:14:28.540 soon as you

01:14:29.060 say the

01:14:30.180 bureaucracy is

01:14:31.360 so thick that

01:14:32.920 I can't even

01:14:33.520 do things

01:14:34.020 that all of

01:14:34.540 you want me

01:14:35.020 to do,

01:14:35.920 you'd be

01:14:36.980 done.

01:14:38.320 Wouldn't you?

01:14:39.700 The moment

01:14:40.380 you hear that,

01:14:41.060 you go,

01:14:41.860 okay, that's

01:14:42.400 kind of true.

01:14:44.100 If you can't

01:14:45.000 even get things

01:14:45.740 done that we

01:14:47.280 want to be

01:14:47.940 done, how

01:14:49.260 in the world

01:14:49.800 could you

01:14:50.180 overthrow the

01:14:50.800 country just

01:14:51.340 because you

01:14:52.480 thought it was

01:14:52.900 a good idea?

01:14:57.040 Yeah.

01:14:57.440 And here's

01:14:59.500 an even

01:14:59.760 better one.

01:15:01.280 You want

01:15:01.880 one that

01:15:02.340 nobody would

01:15:03.040 ever stop

01:15:03.580 talking about?

01:15:06.140 He'll never

01:15:06.820 say this,

01:15:08.120 but it would

01:15:08.960 be awesome.

01:15:10.800 Let me

01:15:11.320 explain something

01:15:12.020 to you.

01:15:12.720 Imagine Trump

01:15:13.380 saying this.

01:15:14.620 If I tried

01:15:15.220 to become a

01:15:15.760 dictator, Don

01:15:17.380 Jr. would

01:15:18.020 kill me.

01:15:23.500 Done.

01:15:24.020 Don Jr.

01:15:27.060 would murder

01:15:27.520 me.

01:15:28.540 And you

01:15:28.780 know what?

01:15:33.660 Maybe he

01:15:34.300 would.

01:15:35.820 Maybe he

01:15:36.460 would.

01:15:37.480 If he said

01:15:38.300 Ivanka would

01:15:39.000 kill me, I

01:15:40.340 think I'd

01:15:40.720 believe that

01:15:41.160 too.

01:15:42.840 Because you

01:15:43.420 know what?

01:15:44.180 Ivanka and

01:15:44.800 Don Jr.

01:15:45.380 are patriots.

01:15:46.700 And they

01:15:47.340 would actually

01:15:47.980 care about

01:15:48.460 their country

01:15:48.960 probably more

01:15:49.780 than one

01:15:50.140 person, even

01:15:51.120 their father.

01:15:53.080 Now,

01:15:53.360 you could

01:15:54.440 argue about

01:15:55.140 whether that's

01:15:55.720 true or

01:15:56.220 not, right?

01:15:57.860 But you

01:15:58.500 would never

01:15:58.860 forget it.

01:16:00.260 If he ever

01:16:01.000 said something

01:16:01.520 like that, you

01:16:02.200 could never

01:16:02.660 get it out of

01:16:03.100 your head.

01:16:04.340 And people

01:16:05.220 would joke

01:16:06.020 about it.

01:16:07.160 You know, they

01:16:07.440 would joke

01:16:07.800 about forever,

01:16:08.440 oh, Don

01:16:08.840 Jr. is going

01:16:09.380 to kill you

01:16:09.780 for this.

01:16:12.140 But I

01:16:12.780 think, and

01:16:13.700 wouldn't it

01:16:14.080 be funny if

01:16:14.620 Don Jr.

01:16:15.340 confirmed it?

01:16:17.880 Imagine

01:16:18.300 Trump saying

01:16:18.980 it, and

01:16:19.900 then, you

01:16:20.300 know, everybody

01:16:20.700 has to talk

01:16:21.280 to Don Jr.

01:16:22.040 He's like,

01:16:22.300 would you?

01:16:22.720 Would you?

01:16:23.360 That's crazy,

01:16:24.000 would you?

01:16:24.540 And imagine

01:16:25.000 him saying,

01:16:26.160 absolutely.

01:16:28.120 Absolutely.

01:16:30.840 But just

01:16:31.760 imagine that.

01:16:34.080 Because it's

01:16:34.780 also, I

01:16:35.540 think, probably

01:16:36.120 true.

01:16:38.440 I think I

01:16:39.240 could kill a

01:16:39.780 family member

01:16:40.300 if they

01:16:40.640 became

01:16:40.940 Hitler.

01:16:43.000 I hate to

01:16:43.700 admit it, but

01:16:44.280 I probably

01:16:44.660 could.

01:16:44.960 do it.

01:16:47.160 All right.

01:16:49.280 Here are a

01:16:49.800 few things.

01:16:50.840 Oh, and

01:16:51.120 also, they're

01:16:51.600 going to

01:16:51.760 say Trump

01:16:52.420 wants revenge.

01:16:54.240 Steve

01:16:54.680 Bannon, and

01:16:55.720 probably others

01:16:56.300 will be saying

01:16:56.780 this, that

01:16:57.760 that's a good

01:16:58.420 thing, and

01:16:59.440 we should

01:17:00.280 maybe keep

01:17:02.080 boosting that

01:17:02.660 message that

01:17:03.420 Trump wants

01:17:04.180 to get

01:17:04.480 revenge, because

01:17:05.900 in this

01:17:06.640 instance, he

01:17:08.220 would be

01:17:08.520 getting revenge

01:17:09.180 against people

01:17:10.280 who have done

01:17:10.720 truly bad

01:17:11.440 things, not

01:17:12.400 just to

01:17:12.780 him, but

01:17:13.920 to the

01:17:14.240 rule of

01:17:14.640 law and

01:17:15.200 to the

01:17:15.600 integrity of

01:17:16.380 the country.

01:17:17.560 I just

01:17:18.080 don't like

01:17:18.620 that word.

01:17:21.100 I don't

01:17:21.460 like that

01:17:21.880 word.

01:17:24.540 Yeah.

01:17:27.060 Revenge is

01:17:27.820 not really a

01:17:29.000 good political

01:17:29.620 word.

01:17:31.380 I would

01:17:31.640 like, now

01:17:32.640 when Bannon

01:17:33.120 talks about

01:17:33.980 that word, he

01:17:35.180 does define

01:17:35.920 it as, you

01:17:36.620 know, holding

01:17:37.520 people accountable

01:17:38.360 and prosecuting

01:17:39.460 criminals.

01:17:40.780 So he's very

01:17:41.340 careful to

01:17:41.960 say,

01:17:42.400 I'm only

01:17:43.000 talking about

01:17:43.560 people who

01:17:44.340 did crimes,

01:17:45.980 not talking

01:17:46.720 about innocent

01:17:47.240 people.

01:17:47.860 We're just

01:17:48.140 talking about

01:17:48.560 literally

01:17:49.100 criminals.

01:17:50.720 But it's

01:17:51.460 a bad

01:17:51.820 look.

01:17:53.240 Bad look.

01:17:55.280 I think

01:17:55.900 something more

01:17:56.600 like justice

01:17:57.340 would work

01:17:58.360 better.

01:17:59.200 However, it

01:17:59.940 is the

01:18:00.260 primaries, and

01:18:01.420 you know, if

01:18:02.900 it were more

01:18:03.380 of a fight in

01:18:04.140 the primary, I'd

01:18:04.860 say, use those

01:18:05.640 fighting words,

01:18:06.360 that might get

01:18:06.800 people excited.

01:18:09.640 But I think

01:18:10.040 Trump needs to

01:18:10.980 be already

01:18:12.140 priming toward

01:18:13.240 the general

01:18:13.780 election.

01:18:14.420 Would you

01:18:14.680 agree?

01:18:16.440 Trump's

01:18:16.920 candidacy

01:18:19.640 should already

01:18:21.380 be more

01:18:22.460 toward the

01:18:22.920 middle because

01:18:23.460 he doesn't

01:18:24.080 need to worry

01:18:24.600 too much

01:18:25.300 unless he

01:18:26.260 goes to

01:18:26.640 jail or

01:18:27.460 has a

01:18:27.720 health

01:18:27.920 problem.

01:18:28.360 He doesn't

01:18:28.620 have to

01:18:28.880 worry too

01:18:29.380 much about

01:18:31.340 the nomination

01:18:32.180 unless

01:18:33.040 something

01:18:33.320 changes.

01:18:33.740 is the

01:18:35.080 debate

01:18:35.420 tonight?

01:18:38.660 Oh, thanks

01:18:39.700 for reminding

01:18:40.160 me.

01:18:42.720 There's some

01:18:43.440 news today that

01:18:44.280 I never thought

01:18:45.120 I'd have to

01:18:45.580 say.

01:18:47.020 Now, I want

01:18:48.000 you to sit

01:18:48.420 down to

01:18:49.780 hear this.

01:18:50.940 This might

01:18:51.500 come as a

01:18:52.100 personal shock

01:18:52.900 to somebody.

01:18:54.400 This will

01:18:54.980 affect you

01:18:55.440 personally.

01:18:57.280 And I

01:18:58.500 just want to

01:18:59.100 say it once.

01:18:59.720 if you

01:19:01.520 weren't

01:19:01.720 aware of

01:19:02.060 this, you

01:19:04.160 died.

01:19:07.340 Yeah, you

01:19:08.240 died.

01:19:10.520 And it's

01:19:11.260 tragedy that

01:19:11.900 you died.

01:19:13.920 Oh, I'm

01:19:14.520 sorry, not

01:19:14.960 why, not

01:19:16.340 why OU

01:19:17.200 died.

01:19:18.480 No, no,

01:19:19.620 no.

01:19:20.200 His name

01:19:20.940 is James

01:19:21.480 U, Y-O-O.

01:19:24.080 And he

01:19:24.420 was in that

01:19:24.880 exploding house

01:19:26.060 in Arlington,

01:19:26.880 they say.

01:19:28.180 Which answers

01:19:29.040 my question,

01:19:30.300 which is how

01:19:30.860 can you be

01:19:31.300 in a house

01:19:31.740 that completely

01:19:32.400 explodes and

01:19:33.560 survive it?

01:19:34.800 But apparently

01:19:35.400 you died.

01:19:36.720 So you

01:19:37.160 died.

01:19:37.860 Sorry.

01:19:42.380 That's

01:19:42.860 right.

01:19:43.580 And when he

01:19:44.080 knocked on

01:19:44.520 the door,

01:19:45.200 they said,

01:19:45.560 who's there?

01:19:46.080 He said,

01:19:47.780 yeah, you

01:19:48.300 know the

01:19:48.860 rest of it.

01:19:49.880 Okay.

01:19:51.600 Here's two

01:19:52.260 things to

01:19:52.700 understand about

01:19:53.460 persuasion.

01:19:55.980 Talking about

01:19:56.740 this slow

01:19:57.500 motion assassination

01:19:58.660 attempt on

01:19:59.540 Trump, which

01:20:00.560 does look

01:20:01.160 exactly like

01:20:01.860 that.

01:20:02.560 So now you

01:20:02.980 see that all

01:20:03.700 the people

01:20:04.640 who are the

01:20:05.200 trained monkeys

01:20:08.160 who say the

01:20:09.320 things you're

01:20:09.720 supposed to

01:20:10.120 say are

01:20:10.920 going to

01:20:11.200 say he's

01:20:11.900 a dictator

01:20:12.720 and he's

01:20:14.400 going to be

01:20:15.340 Hitler and

01:20:16.400 wants revenge

01:20:18.120 and he's

01:20:18.860 coming after

01:20:19.340 you.

01:20:19.700 He's going to

01:20:19.960 take away

01:20:20.380 your democracy.

01:20:21.820 Your democracy

01:20:22.740 is going to

01:20:23.320 be taken

01:20:23.680 away.

01:20:24.940 Now, here's

01:20:27.160 the things you

01:20:27.580 need to know

01:20:28.060 persuasion-wise.

01:20:29.820 It is not

01:20:30.440 possible to

01:20:31.160 hypnotize somebody

01:20:32.140 to commit

01:20:32.620 murder.

01:20:34.160 Right?

01:20:34.440 It's been

01:20:34.740 tried.

01:20:35.420 It's been

01:20:35.680 tested.

01:20:36.540 No matter

01:20:37.080 how good

01:20:37.560 you are as

01:20:37.980 a hypnotist

01:20:38.540 and no

01:20:39.140 matter who

01:20:40.520 the person

01:20:41.080 is you're

01:20:41.440 hypnotizing,

01:20:42.440 you cannot

01:20:42.980 hypnotize them

01:20:43.740 to take the

01:20:44.300 gun and go

01:20:44.900 shoot somebody

01:20:45.540 if they

01:20:46.560 believe the

01:20:46.980 gun really

01:20:47.500 has real

01:20:47.920 bullets.

01:20:48.860 Sometimes

01:20:50.220 they'll do

01:20:51.080 it because

01:20:51.800 they think

01:20:52.540 it's just

01:20:52.900 an experiment

01:20:53.520 and a

01:20:53.980 trick and

01:20:55.020 they think

01:20:55.540 the gun

01:20:55.920 doesn't have

01:20:56.420 real bullets.

01:20:57.760 But of

01:20:58.080 course the

01:20:58.440 gun does

01:20:58.800 not have

01:20:59.180 real bullets

01:20:59.720 because it's

01:21:00.560 just a

01:21:00.900 test.

01:21:02.800 So the

01:21:03.400 people who

01:21:03.840 do take

01:21:04.260 the gun

01:21:04.640 and go

01:21:05.860 to shoot

01:21:06.160 somebody,

01:21:06.700 it's not

01:21:07.080 because they're

01:21:07.560 hypnotized.

01:21:09.060 It's because

01:21:09.420 nobody would

01:21:10.700 ever give

01:21:11.120 you a loaded

01:21:11.560 gun until

01:21:12.120 you'd

01:21:12.320 shoot an

01:21:12.720 innocent

01:21:12.980 person.

01:21:14.340 So it's

01:21:15.740 hard to

01:21:16.040 test it.

01:21:17.340 But there's

01:21:17.940 no example

01:21:19.260 of anybody

01:21:19.820 who's

01:21:20.040 hypnotized

01:21:20.780 to do

01:21:21.100 harm to

01:21:21.520 someone.

01:21:22.880 However,

01:21:24.380 you can

01:21:25.860 brainwash an

01:21:27.020 entire segment

01:21:28.200 of the public

01:21:28.780 into thinking

01:21:29.920 somebody else

01:21:30.740 is hello.

01:21:32.060 And then

01:21:32.720 you just

01:21:33.140 wait.

01:21:34.220 You end

01:21:34.920 up the

01:21:35.200 same result.

01:21:36.080 You just

01:21:36.380 don't know

01:21:36.740 which individual

01:21:37.540 ends up

01:21:38.900 deciding that

01:21:39.520 they need to

01:21:39.960 take matters

01:21:40.440 into their

01:21:40.860 own hands.

01:21:43.760 So you

01:21:45.160 are actually

01:21:45.840 watching in

01:21:46.840 my professional

01:21:47.860 opinion a

01:21:49.040 slow-motion

01:21:49.740 assassination of

01:21:51.580 President Trump

01:21:52.340 attempted,

01:21:53.480 an attempted

01:21:54.000 assassination,

01:21:55.160 and it's

01:21:55.680 being led

01:21:56.340 by the

01:21:56.780 Atlantic,

01:21:57.400 the Washington

01:21:57.740 Post,

01:21:58.540 CNN,

01:21:59.080 MSNBC,

01:21:59.940 and all the

01:22:00.260 usual suspects.

01:22:01.820 And I do

01:22:02.420 believe that

01:22:03.140 they are

01:22:03.440 aware, as

01:22:04.660 Cernovich calls

01:22:05.640 it out,

01:22:06.560 they are

01:22:07.020 aware that

01:22:08.120 they have

01:22:08.600 done such

01:22:09.780 a bad

01:22:10.240 job with

01:22:11.640 the, I'll

01:22:12.900 say, the

01:22:13.200 fabric of

01:22:13.920 American

01:22:14.340 civilization,

01:22:15.540 that they

01:22:16.340 can't

01:22:16.620 possibly win

01:22:17.440 in a

01:22:18.220 straight-up

01:22:18.620 vote.

01:22:19.520 And if

01:22:20.080 they can't

01:22:20.520 win in a

01:22:20.980 straight-up

01:22:21.380 vote, and

01:22:22.140 here's why

01:22:23.100 it's such a

01:22:23.660 problem that

01:22:24.360 Trump is

01:22:25.580 threatening

01:22:25.900 them, if

01:22:27.360 they don't

01:22:27.800 win, they

01:22:28.540 think they

01:22:28.980 might go

01:22:29.340 to jail.

01:22:30.540 Do you

01:22:30.740 know why

01:22:30.980 they think

01:22:31.360 they might

01:22:31.720 go to

01:22:32.080 jail?

01:22:33.180 Because

01:22:33.620 they've

01:22:33.920 done

01:22:34.140 crimes, in

01:22:35.920 some cases.

01:22:37.060 And then

01:22:37.360 there are

01:22:37.580 people who

01:22:38.000 maybe didn't

01:22:38.540 do crimes,

01:22:39.220 but they're

01:22:39.500 worried that

01:22:39.940 they would

01:22:40.160 get blamed

01:22:40.580 of a crime

01:22:41.080 they didn't

01:22:41.420 do.

01:22:42.000 I wonder

01:22:42.340 if that's

01:22:42.700 ever

01:22:42.900 happened to

01:22:43.340 somebody named

01:22:43.900 Trump 91

01:22:44.660 times this

01:22:46.660 year.

01:22:49.120 Yeah, so

01:22:49.780 why do you

01:22:51.360 think Democrats

01:22:52.000 would be

01:22:52.760 concerned about

01:22:54.400 a government

01:22:55.040 arresting them

01:22:56.460 for charges

01:22:57.120 that are

01:22:57.600 bullshit?

01:22:59.040 Huh.

01:23:00.080 Huh.

01:23:00.720 I wonder if

01:23:01.720 they've been

01:23:02.180 involved being

01:23:04.320 on the side

01:23:05.040 that is

01:23:05.580 arresting people

01:23:06.340 for bullshit,

01:23:07.960 you know, like

01:23:08.380 January 6th,

01:23:10.160 and 91

01:23:11.600 charges against

01:23:12.400 Trump for

01:23:12.980 so far

01:23:13.440 nothing.

01:23:15.360 Yeah.

01:23:16.800 So, yeah, I

01:23:17.920 can see why

01:23:18.380 they'd be

01:23:18.720 worried that

01:23:19.580 the government

01:23:20.680 would ever

01:23:21.160 come after

01:23:21.660 somebody on

01:23:22.360 Trump-top

01:23:22.900 charges.

01:23:24.000 Now, I

01:23:24.780 would not

01:23:25.080 support Trump

01:23:26.820 doing anything

01:23:27.380 like that.

01:23:28.540 I would be

01:23:29.200 very, very

01:23:30.160 much seriously

01:23:31.520 against any

01:23:33.400 Republican

01:23:33.900 president who

01:23:35.040 is doing

01:23:35.420 political

01:23:36.040 prosecutions.

01:23:38.120 I hope I

01:23:38.960 would be

01:23:39.980 wise enough

01:23:41.380 to recognize

01:23:42.040 it.

01:23:42.920 Because the

01:23:43.460 problem is

01:23:43.960 you always

01:23:44.400 think that

01:23:44.760 the other

01:23:45.080 side is a

01:23:45.560 criminal,

01:23:46.520 but whatever

01:23:47.000 they do to

01:23:47.480 your team

01:23:47.940 is a

01:23:48.560 political

01:23:49.020 witch hunt.

01:23:50.820 It's just

01:23:51.160 natural you

01:23:51.680 think that

01:23:52.000 way.

01:23:52.520 I hope I

01:23:53.440 would be

01:23:53.740 wise enough

01:23:54.400 to know

01:23:55.800 if Republicans

01:23:56.520 did that

01:23:57.980 kind of

01:23:58.360 thing to

01:23:58.800 Democrats.

01:24:00.800 I haven't

01:24:01.460 seen it,

01:24:02.460 so I

01:24:02.740 haven't seen

01:24:03.160 a signal

01:24:03.640 for it,

01:24:04.720 but I

01:24:05.640 worry, I

01:24:06.680 worry that

01:24:07.240 I'm not

01:24:07.580 tuned to it,

01:24:08.540 that I

01:24:08.760 would miss

01:24:09.120 it.

01:24:09.980 And that's

01:24:10.420 a big

01:24:10.640 problem,

01:24:11.240 because you

01:24:11.520 don't want

01:24:11.840 your side

01:24:12.260 to do

01:24:12.540 that,

01:24:12.780 neither.

01:24:15.300 So let

01:24:16.920 me assure

01:24:17.660 Democrats,

01:24:18.840 if you

01:24:19.880 need it,

01:24:21.000 that I

01:24:21.440 would be

01:24:21.820 on your

01:24:22.240 side if

01:24:23.940 anything

01:24:24.860 Trump or

01:24:25.480 any other

01:24:25.860 Republican

01:24:26.260 did look

01:24:27.380 like a

01:24:27.840 purely

01:24:28.220 political

01:24:29.720 prosecution.

01:24:30.760 I could

01:24:31.260 not back

01:24:31.700 that.

01:24:32.960 And I

01:24:33.400 would also

01:24:35.380 believe that

01:24:36.700 that would

01:24:37.000 be a big

01:24:37.560 enough

01:24:37.800 problem

01:24:38.300 to

01:24:39.140 impeach

01:24:39.600 a

01:24:39.740 president.

01:24:41.440 So if

01:24:42.060 Trump did

01:24:43.000 something that

01:24:43.820 looked like

01:24:44.220 political

01:24:44.760 prosecutions,

01:24:46.620 impeachment's on

01:24:47.300 the table.

01:24:48.460 You've got to be

01:24:49.580 serious about

01:24:50.260 that shit.

01:24:51.200 You can't

01:24:51.840 take that as

01:24:52.340 team play.

01:24:53.560 That can

01:24:53.880 never be

01:24:54.320 team play.

01:24:55.740 That's just

01:24:56.440 got to be

01:24:56.980 the American

01:24:57.580 play.

01:24:57.900 Would a

01:25:01.880 special

01:25:02.160 prosecutor for

01:25:03.040 several areas

01:25:04.000 be a good

01:25:04.540 idea?

01:25:05.600 Maybe.

01:25:06.940 It's a

01:25:07.240 case-by-case

01:25:07.860 situation,

01:25:08.660 but maybe.

01:25:11.240 Is it

01:25:11.860 word thinking

01:25:12.440 on the

01:25:12.920 Z issue?

01:25:16.800 No.

01:25:18.380 I know

01:25:19.000 what you're

01:25:19.240 saying.

01:25:19.880 The word

01:25:20.420 thinking,

01:25:20.980 are they just

01:25:21.360 trying to

01:25:21.760 use their

01:25:22.340 own definition

01:25:22.920 of the

01:25:23.160 word?

01:25:23.600 And that's

01:25:23.940 definitely

01:25:24.180 what's

01:25:24.440 happening.

01:25:25.520 But I

01:25:26.440 think this

01:25:26.840 is more

01:25:27.240 a case

01:25:27.720 of trying

01:25:29.440 to scapegoat

01:25:30.360 people to

01:25:31.260 boost your

01:25:31.920 own message.

01:25:33.720 So the

01:25:34.300 word thinking

01:25:35.240 is just

01:25:35.700 two people

01:25:36.540 having an

01:25:36.980 argument but

01:25:37.700 trying to

01:25:38.380 win by

01:25:38.840 changing

01:25:39.340 the definition

01:25:39.900 of words.

01:25:40.820 What's

01:25:41.040 happening

01:25:41.320 with the

01:25:42.580 Zion

01:25:43.060 stuff is

01:25:45.280 it's being

01:25:46.300 used to

01:25:46.860 identify people

01:25:47.660 that can be

01:25:48.320 boosters of

01:25:49.500 your message.

01:25:52.200 Similar

01:25:52.760 but different.

01:25:56.620 All right.

01:25:57.720 So the

01:25:59.860 other thing

01:26:00.220 you need to

01:26:00.600 know about

01:26:01.120 persuasion

01:26:01.760 is although

01:26:02.640 you can't

01:26:03.240 hypnotize one

01:26:04.000 person to

01:26:04.540 murder,

01:26:05.360 you can

01:26:05.720 very easily

01:26:06.460 hypnotize a

01:26:07.420 group of

01:26:07.880 people to

01:26:09.040 see somebody

01:26:09.640 as someone

01:26:10.760 who is

01:26:11.300 deserving of

01:26:12.260 murder.

01:26:13.320 And then

01:26:13.640 you wait.

01:26:15.300 And then

01:26:15.580 you wait.

01:26:18.520 So look

01:26:19.860 so look

01:26:21.920 for that.

01:26:23.880 You should

01:26:24.240 look for

01:26:25.420 more evidence

01:26:27.140 that they're

01:26:27.920 looking for

01:26:28.600 a

01:26:28.980 what would

01:26:30.840 be the

01:26:31.380 right term

01:26:31.760 for it?

01:26:32.700 Something that's

01:26:33.220 outside of the

01:26:33.820 political process

01:26:35.460 would be

01:26:35.860 would you call

01:26:37.560 that an

01:26:38.120 extra

01:26:39.340 political

01:26:39.920 to mean it's

01:26:41.420 outside of the

01:26:42.180 political process?

01:26:43.960 An extra

01:26:44.540 judicial?

01:26:47.100 Extra

01:26:47.480 judicial means

01:26:48.360 you're doing

01:26:48.680 something illegal,

01:26:49.540 right?

01:26:53.620 Yeah.

01:26:55.720 All right.

01:26:57.320 Ladies and

01:26:58.020 gentlemen,

01:26:58.600 that is more

01:26:59.780 than enough.

01:27:00.760 I think we've

01:27:01.360 done our job

01:27:01.840 here.

01:27:03.380 Do you

01:27:03.940 believe in

01:27:04.360 strategic

01:27:04.820 incompetence?

01:27:08.720 Yes.

01:27:09.380 I mean,

01:27:09.620 all the

01:27:09.960 lost documents

01:27:11.540 and lost

01:27:12.120 files,

01:27:13.220 I don't

01:27:13.800 believe any

01:27:14.240 of that.

01:27:15.580 I believe

01:27:16.440 that they are

01:27:16.980 strategically

01:27:17.720 deleting

01:27:19.080 things and

01:27:19.760 claiming

01:27:20.180 incompetence.

01:27:22.380 Yeah.

01:27:25.280 It's called

01:27:26.040 lying.

01:27:30.360 Yep.

01:27:31.940 Here's a

01:27:32.580 question for

01:27:33.120 you.

01:27:33.920 Do you

01:27:34.180 think that

01:27:34.600 Trump this

01:27:35.400 time would

01:27:36.020 be able to

01:27:36.780 assemble a

01:27:37.860 high-quality

01:27:38.780 team,

01:27:39.560 or will he

01:27:40.720 be once again

01:27:41.480 locked out

01:27:42.120 from the

01:27:43.580 strong,

01:27:44.460 traditional

01:27:44.940 players who

01:27:45.680 normally would

01:27:46.400 want to be

01:27:47.420 part of

01:27:47.740 an

01:27:47.860 administration?

01:27:49.880 I have a

01:27:51.180 suspicion he

01:27:51.940 might be

01:27:52.240 able to get

01:27:52.600 high-quality

01:27:53.140 people.

01:27:54.760 I'm not

01:27:55.380 positive.

01:27:56.300 It could

01:27:56.560 work the

01:27:56.960 other way.

01:27:57.840 But part

01:27:58.280 of the

01:27:58.460 reason is

01:27:58.800 this.

01:28:00.380 The

01:28:00.780 Republicans

01:28:01.180 have a

01:28:01.600 lot of

01:28:01.820 high-quality

01:28:02.240 people who

01:28:03.940 could use

01:28:05.020 jobs.

01:28:07.340 Yeah.

01:28:07.860 No,

01:28:08.120 I'm not

01:28:08.380 one of them.

01:28:09.020 I'm definitely

01:28:09.480 not a high-quality

01:28:10.360 person in terms

01:28:11.500 of a government

01:28:12.040 job.

01:28:14.320 But I

01:28:16.380 don't even

01:28:16.700 have to

01:28:16.960 give you

01:28:17.220 names,

01:28:18.060 but just

01:28:18.380 imagine all

01:28:20.920 of the

01:28:21.240 Republicans

01:28:22.020 who would

01:28:22.540 make a

01:28:22.900 good

01:28:23.240 spokesperson

01:28:25.020 for the

01:28:25.600 administration.

01:28:26.900 They had

01:28:27.200 the communications.

01:28:28.720 Just think

01:28:29.780 of all the

01:28:31.160 insanely good

01:28:32.400 choices they

01:28:33.180 give.

01:28:34.960 Just insanely

01:28:35.940 good.

01:28:37.020 I'm going to

01:28:37.600 throw one out

01:28:38.180 for you,

01:28:38.560 okay?

01:28:39.540 A head of

01:28:40.100 communications in a

01:28:41.220 Trump administration?

01:28:43.880 Greg

01:28:44.320 Goffeld.

01:28:50.160 Yes or

01:28:50.720 no?

01:28:53.180 No,

01:28:53.700 I don't

01:28:53.960 think he'd

01:28:54.340 ever do it.

01:28:54.960 It would

01:28:55.080 be a

01:28:55.400 suicide

01:28:56.260 mission.

01:28:58.000 But would

01:28:59.460 Trump be

01:29:00.120 smart enough

01:29:00.740 to know

01:29:01.200 that if

01:29:02.300 you made

01:29:02.760 those stupid

01:29:05.600 press events

01:29:06.420 interesting,

01:29:08.080 and you had

01:29:08.820 somebody with

01:29:09.300 a real

01:29:09.600 personality,

01:29:10.300 not somebody

01:29:11.500 who's just

01:29:11.880 going to

01:29:12.020 say,

01:29:12.240 no,

01:29:12.520 I don't

01:29:12.760 know,

01:29:13.260 and I'll

01:29:13.960 look into

01:29:14.340 that,

01:29:14.940 and you've

01:29:15.740 asked a

01:29:16.080 question already,

01:29:17.460 all the

01:29:17.860 bullshit things.

01:29:19.180 What if you

01:29:19.520 had somebody

01:29:19.980 who actually

01:29:20.480 engaged with

01:29:21.440 the audience,

01:29:22.680 had fun with

01:29:23.720 the audience,

01:29:24.760 the audience

01:29:25.540 may even

01:29:26.040 like,

01:29:26.860 maybe they

01:29:27.400 just like

01:29:27.880 him,

01:29:28.620 and he

01:29:28.940 just has

01:29:29.260 fun with

01:29:29.640 it?

01:29:30.740 Because it's

01:29:31.460 not a useful

01:29:32.140 process.

01:29:32.820 the press

01:29:34.480 events are

01:29:34.980 just not

01:29:35.380 useful.

01:29:36.520 And that's

01:29:36.940 why,

01:29:37.700 didn't Trump

01:29:38.160 just get

01:29:38.560 rid of

01:29:38.840 them after

01:29:39.180 a while?

01:29:39.560 He just

01:29:39.820 stopped

01:29:40.120 them,

01:29:40.380 did he?

01:29:40.980 Because they're

01:29:41.280 so bullshit.

01:29:42.480 But,

01:29:43.260 somebody like,

01:29:44.520 let's say

01:29:45.180 somebody of

01:29:45.880 his capabilities,

01:29:47.980 if you put

01:29:49.540 somebody in

01:29:50.020 who can

01:29:50.340 make a

01:29:50.700 joke of

01:29:51.160 stuff,

01:29:52.080 the joke

01:29:52.720 gets on

01:29:53.240 TV.

01:29:54.500 A boring

01:29:55.280 answer maybe

01:29:56.400 gets on

01:29:56.780 TV, but

01:29:57.240 you forget

01:29:57.660 it anyway.

01:29:58.500 But a

01:29:58.800 real good,

01:29:59.520 funny answer

01:30:00.200 becomes

01:30:01.560 news.

01:30:02.640 So Trump

01:30:03.060 could actually

01:30:03.640 create news

01:30:05.000 by making

01:30:06.300 sure that

01:30:06.780 his spokesperson

01:30:07.340 was funny

01:30:08.100 and said

01:30:09.680 things that

01:30:10.420 were supportive

01:30:11.720 of the

01:30:12.000 president,

01:30:12.500 but also

01:30:12.800 you couldn't

01:30:13.220 forget.

01:30:15.340 Now,

01:30:16.000 yeah,

01:30:16.260 I don't

01:30:16.480 think Greg's

01:30:17.600 going to be

01:30:17.900 the head

01:30:18.600 of communications,

01:30:19.940 but you

01:30:21.180 could come

01:30:21.680 up with,

01:30:22.380 I'll bet you

01:30:22.820 on your

01:30:23.220 own,

01:30:23.500 you could

01:30:23.760 come up

01:30:24.180 with 10

01:30:25.420 Republican

01:30:26.020 names that

01:30:27.420 would be

01:30:27.700 just fascinating

01:30:28.440 in that

01:30:28.800 job.

01:30:30.200 Just

01:30:30.440 fascinating.

01:30:33.300 Tyrus.

01:30:35.060 Tyrus would

01:30:35.720 be great.

01:30:36.920 I'm seeing

01:30:37.380 Tyrus being

01:30:38.040 suggested as

01:30:38.860 at a

01:30:39.160 communications

01:30:39.800 in a

01:30:40.400 Republican.

01:30:42.260 He'd be

01:30:42.860 great.

01:30:44.080 He has

01:30:44.780 the full

01:30:45.240 talent

01:30:48.720 stack.

01:30:50.180 So,

01:30:50.560 yeah,

01:30:50.720 I can get

01:30:51.060 behind that.

01:30:51.800 I'd watch

01:30:52.280 it, too.

01:30:53.200 I'd far

01:30:53.520 more likely

01:30:54.940 watch it

01:30:55.480 if Tyrus

01:30:55.980 was giving

01:30:56.420 it,

01:30:57.320 because he's

01:30:58.340 a big

01:30:58.580 personality.

01:30:59.240 He's funny.

01:31:00.200 You don't

01:31:03.380 remember

01:31:03.700 Tony Snow

01:31:04.500 who would

01:31:04.880 mock

01:31:05.200 the stupid

01:31:05.820 questions.

01:31:07.760 Yeah,

01:31:08.000 I don't,

01:31:08.360 actually.

01:31:11.460 All right.

01:31:13.640 That's all

01:31:14.280 for now.

01:31:15.180 I'm going

01:31:15.740 to go do

01:31:16.200 something else.

01:31:16.860 I'm going

01:31:17.060 to talk a

01:31:17.500 little bit

01:31:17.780 to the

01:31:19.600 good people

01:31:20.080 and locals.

01:31:21.600 And I'll

01:31:22.260 say goodbye

01:31:22.780 now to

01:31:23.720 YouTube.

01:31:24.500 Thanks for

01:31:24.800 joining.

01:31:25.740 You're

01:31:26.000 awesome.

01:31:26.240 All right.
