00:00:00.880 Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do.
00:00:06.400 Good morning, everybody, and welcome.
00:00:08.820 It's the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:11.520 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, or in the Elbonian language,
00:00:15.960 Inyon-bon-bon-gapati-cao.
00:00:19.820 As far as you know, there's an Elbonian language.
00:00:22.880 And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels
00:00:26.140 which nobody could even understand,
00:00:28.020 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:30.000 a tanker, chalice, and a canteen jug or a flask,
00:00:32.620 a vessel of any kind,
00:00:34.220 fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:36.240 I like coffee.
00:00:37.880 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:39.740 of the dopamine of the day,
00:00:40.960 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:42.980 It's called the Simultimus Sip, and it happens now.
00:00:45.100 Go! 0.95
00:00:49.820 Ah, just right.
00:00:53.780 Sublime.
00:00:56.580 All right.
00:00:57.220 Now, for those of you who are new,
00:01:02.000 there might be some new people who've never seen this show before.
00:01:06.920 Give me the answer to the question before I ask it.
00:01:09.200 Go.
00:01:10.480 Answer to the question before I ask.
00:01:12.680 That is the correct answer.
00:01:14.940 Yes.
00:01:15.300 Now, here's the question.
00:01:19.400 In Erasmus and Poll,
00:01:21.500 what percentage of people are in favor
00:01:24.640 of removing statues of Washington,
00:01:28.500 George Washington?
00:01:30.680 You said 25%.
00:01:33.040 Gosh, you're good.
00:01:35.420 It's 27.
00:01:36.960 27.
00:01:37.460 But around, you know,
00:01:38.580 within the margin of error.
00:01:39.600 I think your ability to know the answers
00:01:43.300 before the questions are asked
00:01:44.880 is unparalleled,
00:01:47.700 purely unparalleled.
00:01:49.480 And if you think there's any audience in the world
00:01:52.380 that is smarter than this one,
00:01:55.280 let's see if they can answer the question
00:01:56.900 before you ask it.
00:01:58.520 Just give them that test.
00:01:59.740 They won't be able to do it.
00:02:00.720 Well, I am loving the,
00:02:04.800 I don't know what you'd call it,
00:02:08.060 but the ascension maybe of Bill Ackman,
00:02:12.880 famous hedge fund investor guy.
00:02:15.640 So he's been going really hard at Harvard especially
00:02:19.040 and wokeness now more generally.
00:02:22.340 He's become kind of the Rosa Parks
00:02:24.300 of the DEI debacle.
00:02:33.320 And he says,
00:02:34.720 among other things in a long post today,
00:02:37.380 and he's becoming a national treasure in my view.
00:02:40.100 He says,
00:02:40.500 I don't think it will be long
00:02:41.620 before we look back on the last few years
00:02:43.980 of free speech suppression
00:02:45.920 and the repeated career-ending accusations
00:02:49.380 of racists
00:02:50.440 for those who questioned the DEI movement.
00:02:54.300 You think that'll happen?
00:02:57.600 You think we will someday look back at this period
00:02:59.960 and it will look like McCarthyism
00:03:02.240 and that the DEI thing will look like
00:03:05.100 it was a gigantic mistake
00:03:06.560 and it will be largely dismantled?
00:03:10.580 Yes.
00:03:12.260 Yes, he's absolutely right.
00:03:14.140 There's no way around it.
00:03:15.180 It's definitely going to happen.
00:03:17.220 And he said,
00:03:18.000 we're all shortly going to realize
00:03:19.280 that the DEI era
00:03:20.980 is the McCarthy era part two.
00:03:24.300 He said he learned from someone
00:03:27.040 who had first-person knowledge
00:03:28.400 of the situation
00:03:29.900 that when Harvard was searching for a president,
00:03:34.220 the committee would not consider a candidate
00:03:37.820 who did not meet the DEI office's criteria.
00:03:42.340 In other words,
00:03:43.600 no white men.
00:03:45.560 It was exactly what it looked like.
00:03:50.100 If you're wondering to yourself,
00:03:52.180 huh,
00:03:53.060 I wonder if they excluded white men in their search.
00:03:56.200 Yes, they did.
00:03:57.400 Yes, they did.
00:03:59.640 And Bill Ackman points out,
00:04:01.800 the same is likely true for other elite universities.
00:04:04.000 So would you say
00:04:07.560 that the competence crisis is real?
00:04:12.320 I saw three college presidents
00:04:15.840 that in my opinion were incompetent.
00:04:19.840 Now, as other people have pointed out,
00:04:24.000 other people who identify as female,
00:04:25.960 so I'll quote them
00:04:27.640 instead of taking the heat on myself,
00:04:30.920 those three college presidents
00:04:32.720 set back women's rights 1.00
00:04:35.380 by about 50 years.
00:04:42.440 Am I the only one
00:04:44.860 that had that impression?
00:04:46.240 And by the way,
00:04:46.800 this wasn't my original,
00:04:48.440 it's not my original observation.
00:04:50.660 It's something I was thinking
00:04:51.780 when I watched it.
00:04:53.680 I think it was Greta Van Susteren
00:04:56.140 who was saying
00:04:57.220 it was setting back
00:04:58.000 the women's movement,
00:04:59.780 the women's movement,
00:05:00.780 I think she said.
00:05:01.900 Set back the women's movement. 1.00
00:05:04.520 It really did.
00:05:06.920 It was a terrible,
00:05:09.160 terrible day for women.
00:05:12.360 Well, McCarthy's leaving the job.
00:05:16.460 He's leaving government.
00:05:18.180 I guess he had hinted
00:05:19.240 that he might do it
00:05:19.940 if he got pushed out
00:05:21.860 of the leadership job,
00:05:23.800 and I guess he is.
00:05:25.000 But the funniest part
00:05:25.840 about that story
00:05:26.520 is Matt Gaetz,
00:05:27.660 who was obviously
00:05:29.080 the agent of that change,
00:05:31.660 he's the one who pushed for it,
00:05:34.100 he had a post today
00:05:35.900 with just one word,
00:05:37.960 McLeaven.
00:05:41.240 Now, some people interpreted it
00:05:43.580 that Matt Gaetz was leaving,
00:05:45.580 but that's not what he meant.
00:05:47.120 He was talking about McCarthy.
00:05:48.360 He was making a joke
00:05:50.140 about the McLeaven character.
00:05:53.160 There's a movie with
00:05:54.160 a teenage character
00:05:55.780 who calls himself McLeaven.
00:05:57.780 He calls him McLeaven.
00:06:01.000 That was a super bad
00:06:02.640 was the name of the movie, yeah.
00:06:04.200 And I just love the fact
00:06:07.640 that he's dancing on his grave.
00:06:11.840 McLeaven.
00:06:13.000 They had to be laughing today.
00:06:14.420 All right.
00:06:16.380 China is allegedly
00:06:17.820 going to revamp
00:06:20.800 its space program,
00:06:22.020 and the reason that China
00:06:23.380 is so worried about
00:06:24.280 getting behind on space
00:06:25.660 is not because
00:06:27.280 the United States
00:06:28.180 is doing such good work,
00:06:29.880 but because Elon Musk is.
00:06:33.340 So who beat China to space? 0.79
00:06:36.160 Was it the United States?
00:06:38.320 Eh, not exactly.
00:06:41.920 Was it India?
00:06:44.400 Hmm.
00:06:45.320 No.
00:06:46.640 No, it was just Elon Musk.
00:06:48.880 Just one person.
00:06:50.620 Just that one person
00:06:51.640 destroyed
00:06:52.580 on the most,
00:06:54.180 probably the most important
00:06:56.100 stage of human development.
00:07:00.320 You know,
00:07:00.580 someday,
00:07:01.420 if humans live
00:07:02.280 another thousand years,
00:07:03.900 we're going to look back
00:07:04.820 and see that the leaving
00:07:06.100 of the planet
00:07:07.260 to become interstellar
00:07:09.180 was more fundamental
00:07:11.620 than even,
00:07:12.480 you know,
00:07:13.200 finding,
00:07:14.320 discovering America,
00:07:15.380 the so-called discovery.
00:07:17.140 And
00:07:17.620 it was one person.
00:07:21.200 Basically,
00:07:21.860 one person did that
00:07:22.840 and beat China.
00:07:25.600 So it was one person
00:07:26.820 who beat
00:07:27.260 over a billion
00:07:29.120 people.
00:07:31.220 How many people
00:07:32.040 are in China?
00:07:33.200 Two billion?
00:07:33.840 Two billion, right?
00:07:36.000 What's the population
00:07:36.940 of China?
00:07:38.660 1.3?
00:07:40.440 1.7?
00:07:41.640 1.2?
00:07:42.260 We got lots of estimates.
00:07:43.660 Over a billion.
00:07:45.520 All right.
00:07:48.780 So South Carolina,
00:07:50.920 the state,
00:07:52.360 they have announced
00:07:53.120 that they're not going
00:07:54.120 to invest
00:07:54.900 the money
00:07:55.600 in Walt Disney Company.
00:07:57.440 So it's no longer
00:07:58.580 an approved
00:07:59.240 state investment.
00:08:00.320 So now
00:08:02.980 the Disney Company
00:08:04.080 is not only
00:08:06.680 fun for the whole family,
00:08:08.420 but considered
00:08:09.700 by one state
00:08:10.800 so evil
00:08:11.760 that you can't
00:08:12.380 even invest in them.
00:08:14.140 But also
00:08:15.080 fun for the whole family.
00:08:19.140 But
00:08:19.700 the state government
00:08:21.200 has decided
00:08:21.840 they're too evil
00:08:22.500 for you to invest in them.
00:08:23.940 You can take the family,
00:08:26.000 but my God,
00:08:26.780 don't put your money there,
00:08:28.400 says the state
00:08:29.080 of South Carolina.
00:08:30.700 I don't know
00:08:31.380 if that will form
00:08:32.040 any kind of a trend.
00:08:32.960 We'll see.
00:08:35.360 I saw a post
00:08:36.380 by Rohan Pandy,
00:08:38.420 who is
00:08:39.580 my kind of poster.
00:08:41.420 You ever see
00:08:41.820 anything on social media
00:08:43.520 where you say,
00:08:45.100 my God,
00:08:46.300 that could have been
00:08:47.000 me posting that
00:08:47.880 because it looks
00:08:48.720 like I did it.
00:08:50.200 Or here's one
00:08:50.700 that just looks like
00:08:51.440 something I would have done
00:08:52.440 except I'm not this smart.
00:08:54.440 So if I were smarter,
00:08:56.360 I would have posted
00:08:57.980 what
00:08:58.300 Rohan
00:08:59.680 Pandy
00:09:00.340 posted.
00:09:01.300 He noted.
00:09:02.940 He says,
00:09:03.720 quick schizo theory.
00:09:06.200 Top and bottom
00:09:07.200 quarks,
00:09:08.480 so those are the
00:09:09.580 names for two
00:09:10.600 different flavors
00:09:11.420 of quark,
00:09:12.840 the top and the bottom.
00:09:14.260 They were originally
00:09:14.900 called truth and beauty.
00:09:16.960 So there's a truth
00:09:17.860 quark and a beauty quark.
00:09:20.080 Now,
00:09:20.400 here's the interesting part.
00:09:22.800 Satya,
00:09:23.700 first name
00:09:24.380 of the leader
00:09:25.220 of Microsoft,
00:09:25.940 in Sanskrit,
00:09:27.320 his name,
00:09:27.680 his name means
00:09:28.480 truth.
00:09:29.840 But Sundar,
00:09:30.860 first name of the
00:09:31.760 leader of Google,
00:09:32.940 in Sanskrit,
00:09:33.620 his name means
00:09:34.220 beauty.
00:09:35.300 So,
00:09:36.240 as Rohan points out,
00:09:37.960 the two,
00:09:38.400 the two MFers,
00:09:39.900 he says,
00:09:40.920 competing in the race
00:09:42.080 to AGI
00:09:42.860 are named after
00:09:44.240 opposing fundamental
00:09:45.480 particles.
00:09:46.800 And then he says,
00:09:47.860 the simulation
00:09:48.620 is effing with us.
00:09:49.660 that's pretty good
00:09:52.520 that the two people
00:09:55.340 are truth and beauty
00:09:56.360 and that used to be
00:09:57.300 two fundamental
00:09:58.040 particles.
00:09:59.360 Now,
00:09:59.880 it's all just
00:10:00.360 coincidences,
00:10:01.600 but it's fun.
00:10:03.620 Of course,
00:10:04.040 he may have made up
00:10:04.680 all of this,
00:10:05.280 but still fun.
00:10:07.080 How many of you
00:10:07.720 saw a very viral
00:10:09.580 video of a new
00:10:11.480 form of AI
00:10:12.120 called Gemini?
00:10:13.920 I think it's
00:10:14.760 Google's,
00:10:16.040 that was doing
00:10:17.840 some amazing
00:10:18.600 things by looking
00:10:20.320 at images,
00:10:21.540 and you could draw
00:10:22.160 a picture,
00:10:22.820 and it knew
00:10:23.100 what you were
00:10:23.400 drawing,
00:10:24.000 and it could compare
00:10:25.460 two things and all
00:10:26.360 that.
00:10:27.540 Well,
00:10:28.020 it took all of
00:10:28.780 today to find out
00:10:29.620 that was a fake
00:10:30.260 video.
00:10:32.700 That was fake.
00:10:35.060 That totally
00:10:35.980 fooled me.
00:10:37.400 But here's what
00:10:37.960 was fake about it.
00:10:40.060 The fake part
00:10:41.040 was,
00:10:41.400 you believed
00:10:43.100 that it was a
00:10:43.660 human talking
00:10:44.320 to the computer
00:10:45.140 because what you
00:10:46.260 heard was a
00:10:46.800 conversation between
00:10:47.840 a human and
00:10:48.400 a computer.
00:10:49.860 In truth,
00:10:50.760 they were giving
00:10:51.340 it super prompts
00:10:52.220 and text,
00:10:53.200 but the human
00:10:54.440 was not repeating
00:10:55.340 what the super
00:10:56.060 prompt said.
00:10:57.040 The super prompt
00:10:57.860 was giving it
00:10:58.540 more information
00:10:59.280 than the human
00:10:59.880 was.
00:11:01.120 So the trick
00:11:01.760 was,
00:11:02.460 you thought that
00:11:03.100 the computer
00:11:03.660 only knew
00:11:04.460 what it saw
00:11:05.880 plus whatever
00:11:07.240 the human
00:11:07.700 was saying
00:11:08.220 verbally,
00:11:09.300 but what the
00:11:09.780 computer actually
00:11:10.620 knew,
00:11:11.400 was what
00:11:12.260 they typed
00:11:12.720 into the
00:11:13.160 prompt,
00:11:14.000 which had
00:11:14.500 formatted
00:11:15.320 the question
00:11:15.900 in a way
00:11:16.340 that narrowed
00:11:16.980 the responses.
00:11:18.280 So the
00:11:18.740 amazingness
00:11:19.600 of the
00:11:19.940 responses
00:11:20.480 wasn't nearly
00:11:22.060 as amazing
00:11:22.660 as it would
00:11:23.180 have been
00:11:23.500 if you'd
00:11:24.020 known how
00:11:24.360 they asked
00:11:24.680 the question.
00:11:26.260 But still
00:11:26.640 amazing.
00:11:27.640 Yeah,
00:11:27.940 still amazing.
00:11:29.480 It just
00:11:30.460 wasn't as
00:11:31.200 amazing as
00:11:31.820 the video.
00:11:33.920 That's a
00:11:34.460 claim anyway.
00:11:35.220 I don't know
00:11:35.500 if it's true,
00:11:36.040 but there's
00:11:36.800 a claim that
00:11:37.500 somebody's seen
00:11:38.140 the super prompts
00:11:38.900 and they're
00:11:39.200 different.
00:11:39.480 All right,
00:11:41.260 Axios is
00:11:42.280 talking about
00:11:42.760 Elon Musk's
00:11:43.300 strategy with
00:11:44.040 his AI
00:11:44.600 called
00:11:45.140 Grok,
00:11:46.280 and apparently
00:11:47.300 it's unclear
00:11:48.100 whether the
00:11:50.040 AI that
00:11:50.860 Elon Musk
00:11:51.440 is building
00:11:52.640 would be
00:11:54.040 part of the
00:11:54.740 X platform
00:11:55.440 or part of
00:11:56.140 a separate
00:11:56.520 company that
00:11:57.240 the X platform
00:11:58.220 accesses and
00:11:59.980 works with.
00:12:00.880 So we don't
00:12:01.400 know that yet.
00:12:02.160 But if
00:12:03.800 it's true
00:12:06.920 that the
00:12:09.560 Grok,
00:12:10.220 or that's
00:12:10.940 the name
00:12:11.220 of the
00:12:11.620 AI that
00:12:12.760 will be
00:12:13.060 operative
00:12:13.780 on X,
00:12:14.660 if it's
00:12:15.340 true that
00:12:15.720 it gets
00:12:16.000 valued the
00:12:16.620 same as
00:12:16.980 ChatGPT,
00:12:18.700 then Musk
00:12:20.140 will have
00:12:20.580 doubled his
00:12:21.240 investment.
00:12:22.880 So if he
00:12:23.400 paid $44
00:12:24.140 billion and
00:12:26.200 ChatGPT is
00:12:27.460 already valued
00:12:28.860 on paper
00:12:29.400 more than
00:12:29.940 that,
00:12:30.900 twice that,
00:12:31.500 it's like
00:12:32.220 $90
00:12:32.920 billion or
00:12:33.480 something.
00:12:34.600 So he
00:12:35.160 could actually
00:12:35.820 double his
00:12:36.800 investment the
00:12:38.480 day that
00:12:39.160 Grok goes
00:12:40.280 live,
00:12:41.360 potentially,
00:12:42.440 because that
00:12:42.800 would depend
00:12:43.500 on people's
00:12:45.060 psychology,
00:12:47.140 saying,
00:12:47.580 oh no,
00:12:48.020 that's as
00:12:48.960 good as
00:12:49.500 ChatGPT,
00:12:50.820 so we'll
00:12:51.040 give it the
00:12:51.380 same value.
00:12:52.480 Could happen.
00:12:54.120 Here's what
00:12:55.340 Axios
00:12:56.200 speculates as
00:12:57.740 at least a
00:12:58.240 possibility,
00:12:59.400 and I
00:12:59.920 agree,
00:13:00.720 but only
00:13:01.220 after reading
00:13:02.320 Axios.
00:13:04.060 So I
00:13:04.600 did not
00:13:04.960 come to
00:13:05.340 this decision
00:13:06.680 on my
00:13:07.080 own,
00:13:07.480 Axios
00:13:07.920 guided me
00:13:08.980 there.
00:13:10.560 It goes
00:13:11.280 like this,
00:13:12.740 when Musk
00:13:13.440 said about
00:13:15.020 advertisers,
00:13:16.800 don't advertise
00:13:18.320 F you,
00:13:19.920 in other words,
00:13:20.600 don't advertise
00:13:21.180 if you have
00:13:22.360 a problem
00:13:22.920 or you're
00:13:23.240 trying to
00:13:23.580 manipulate me
00:13:24.280 or black
00:13:24.700 family,
00:13:25.060 don't advertise
00:13:25.640 F you.
00:13:26.940 Now,
00:13:27.820 do you
00:13:28.880 think that
00:13:30.880 Musk anticipated 0.98
00:13:32.300 how much
00:13:32.720 trouble that
00:13:33.300 would cause,
00:13:34.240 or at least
00:13:34.820 knew there
00:13:35.240 was a risk
00:13:35.960 of how much
00:13:36.940 trouble that
00:13:37.440 would cause?
00:13:38.800 Because it
00:13:39.200 seems unlikely
00:13:41.340 that he would
00:13:42.020 be unaware
00:13:42.620 that would be
00:13:43.200 a problem.
00:13:45.820 So one
00:13:46.580 has to
00:13:47.280 wonder,
00:13:48.120 what if he
00:13:48.860 knew how much
00:13:49.560 of a risk
00:13:50.060 it was,
00:13:50.580 and he did
00:13:52.020 it anyway?
00:13:53.600 Is it just
00:13:54.500 because he's
00:13:55.120 based,
00:13:55.680 based and
00:13:56.400 awesome,
00:13:57.440 and he just
00:13:58.060 didn't care
00:13:58.560 about 44
00:13:59.340 billion dollars?
00:14:00.940 Maybe,
00:14:01.540 that's actually
00:14:02.320 entirely possible.
00:14:04.080 But I would
00:14:04.520 like to suggest
00:14:05.340 there's one
00:14:06.480 other possibility.
00:14:08.700 It goes
00:14:09.560 like this,
00:14:11.700 Elon Musk
00:14:12.340 is the only
00:14:12.840 person who's
00:14:13.420 figured out
00:14:14.140 that the
00:14:15.220 advertising
00:14:15.880 models can
00:14:16.600 be gone
00:14:17.060 in three
00:14:17.480 years.
00:14:19.320 Because AI
00:14:20.300 will completely
00:14:21.080 replace it.
00:14:22.020 he might
00:14:24.040 be the one
00:14:24.560 who figured
00:14:25.000 out that
00:14:25.860 he has to
00:14:26.500 get out
00:14:26.920 of,
00:14:27.320 he probably
00:14:28.000 wants to
00:14:28.440 get out
00:14:28.760 of advertising
00:14:29.400 as fast
00:14:30.100 as possible.
00:14:31.320 And go to
00:14:31.780 subscription,
00:14:33.000 or a
00:14:34.720 model that
00:14:35.240 looks like
00:14:35.680 this.
00:14:37.640 Wouldn't
00:14:38.020 you like
00:14:38.480 to never
00:14:39.160 see an
00:14:39.580 advertisement
00:14:40.060 again,
00:14:40.840 unless your
00:14:42.560 personal
00:14:43.100 version of
00:14:43.700 AI decided
00:14:45.540 from based
00:14:46.280 on what you
00:14:46.900 told it
00:14:47.280 directly,
00:14:48.120 or what
00:14:48.880 it knew
00:14:49.200 about you,
00:14:50.260 that it
00:14:50.560 would always
00:14:50.940 be scanning
00:14:51.580 for new
00:14:52.020 products,
00:14:53.020 and if
00:14:53.300 it found
00:14:53.660 anything that
00:14:54.200 was right
00:14:54.600 on point
00:14:55.140 for you,
00:14:56.140 it would
00:14:56.400 show it
00:14:56.740 to you.
00:14:58.140 But it
00:14:58.680 wouldn't show
00:14:59.140 it to you
00:14:59.520 while you're
00:14:59.940 on task.
00:15:01.580 In other
00:15:01.880 words,
00:15:02.080 it wouldn't
00:15:02.360 interrupt you
00:15:03.040 while you're
00:15:03.360 reading something.
00:15:04.640 It would
00:15:05.180 simply know
00:15:05.780 that a good
00:15:06.240 time to talk
00:15:06.840 to you,
00:15:07.320 or even
00:15:07.980 maybe just
00:15:08.480 make a little
00:15:08.960 shopping list
00:15:09.560 for you,
00:15:10.320 that you
00:15:10.600 don't even
00:15:11.000 see unless
00:15:12.320 you tap
00:15:12.740 on it.
00:15:13.080 I don't
00:15:15.440 see any
00:15:16.380 way that
00:15:17.320 advertising
00:15:18.000 works as
00:15:20.380 a revenue
00:15:22.380 model,
00:15:23.040 as a business
00:15:23.640 model,
00:15:24.340 in 10
00:15:24.900 years.
00:15:25.720 How many
00:15:26.340 would agree
00:15:26.780 with the
00:15:27.120 following
00:15:27.480 statement?
00:15:28.560 In 10
00:15:29.080 years,
00:15:29.760 the advertising
00:15:30.720 model will be 0.82
00:15:31.480 completely dead.
00:15:33.280 In 10
00:15:33.720 years.
00:15:35.520 I think I
00:15:37.600 can convince
00:15:38.140 you in 10
00:15:38.640 years it'll be
00:15:39.200 dead.
00:15:39.460 How about
00:15:42.700 5?
00:15:44.440 Will anybody
00:15:45.280 go with me
00:15:45.860 to 5?
00:15:47.040 Because the
00:15:47.420 thing that'll
00:15:47.820 kill it is
00:15:48.420 likely to be
00:15:49.060 some AI
00:15:49.740 related
00:15:50.380 architecture.
00:15:52.860 I think
00:15:53.540 5.
00:15:55.860 Now,
00:15:56.540 in 5,
00:15:57.200 I don't
00:15:57.480 mean every
00:15:58.040 single ad
00:15:58.780 model would
00:15:59.280 be dead. 0.94
00:16:00.620 I mean,
00:16:01.040 in 5,
00:16:01.680 you could
00:16:02.020 maybe imagine
00:16:03.020 that X
00:16:04.260 would be
00:16:04.660 ad model
00:16:05.920 free,
00:16:07.080 while still
00:16:07.860 giving you
00:16:09.160 all the
00:16:09.440 advertisements.
00:16:11.220 You might
00:16:12.140 actually say,
00:16:13.500 let me ask
00:16:14.040 you this,
00:16:14.600 how much
00:16:15.020 would you
00:16:15.400 pay to
00:16:15.860 never see
00:16:16.300 another
00:16:16.560 advertisement
00:16:17.060 again unless
00:16:17.840 you wanted
00:16:18.240 it?
00:16:19.940 And you
00:16:20.500 only see it
00:16:21.000 when you
00:16:21.200 want to.
00:16:22.560 How much
00:16:23.240 would you
00:16:23.520 pay to
00:16:24.040 remove just
00:16:24.800 advertising
00:16:25.440 from social
00:16:26.900 media?
00:16:28.720 Because we're
00:16:29.040 getting pretty
00:16:29.460 close to that,
00:16:30.120 and here's
00:16:30.420 how.
00:16:31.660 If Musk
00:16:33.060 succeeds in
00:16:34.120 making X
00:16:34.880 the place
00:16:35.320 you go and
00:16:35.880 just live,
00:16:37.100 because you
00:16:37.420 can make
00:16:37.740 payments there,
00:16:38.580 you can see
00:16:39.140 the news
00:16:39.640 there,
00:16:40.080 you can
00:16:40.380 comment
00:16:40.780 there.
00:16:41.680 Basically,
00:16:42.300 you can
00:16:42.460 just live
00:16:42.880 there.
00:16:43.980 See all
00:16:44.300 your videos
00:16:44.820 and everything.
00:16:45.780 Then,
00:16:46.580 suppose he
00:16:47.140 makes it
00:16:47.500 ad free.
00:16:49.600 Imagine
00:16:50.040 going to
00:16:50.620 an environment
00:16:51.420 that's
00:16:51.740 ad free,
00:16:52.600 and playing
00:16:53.260 in your
00:16:53.580 playground
00:16:53.940 all day.
00:16:55.000 How would
00:16:55.380 you feel
00:16:55.880 the first
00:16:56.680 time you
00:16:57.000 turn on
00:16:57.460 cable news
00:16:58.260 and it
00:16:58.620 goes to
00:16:58.920 a commercial
00:16:59.420 in 12
00:17:00.740 minutes,
00:17:01.700 and it
00:17:02.560 stays there
00:17:03.020 for another
00:17:03.360 12 minutes,
00:17:04.360 it seems
00:17:04.660 like.
00:17:04.940 You
00:17:06.480 will be
00:17:07.140 so done
00:17:07.740 with the
00:17:08.060 ad model
00:17:08.560 once you
00:17:09.080 buy out.
00:17:10.020 I'll tell you
00:17:10.800 I have some
00:17:11.160 experience with
00:17:11.860 this,
00:17:12.940 because I've
00:17:15.660 bought myself
00:17:16.460 out at the
00:17:16.920 YouTube
00:17:17.240 advertisements,
00:17:18.720 meaning that
00:17:19.400 if you pay
00:17:19.880 extra,
00:17:20.900 I forget what
00:17:21.600 they call it,
00:17:22.380 but whatever
00:17:22.780 the business
00:17:24.000 model is on
00:17:24.840 YouTube,
00:17:26.100 you pay extra
00:17:26.640 to see no
00:17:27.180 advertisements.
00:17:27.700 the nature
00:17:29.620 of your
00:17:33.320 experience
00:17:34.020 without
00:17:34.620 advertisement
00:17:35.340 is so
00:17:36.860 transformative
00:17:37.540 that it
00:17:38.680 makes YouTube,
00:17:39.840 in my
00:17:40.240 opinion,
00:17:41.320 the premier
00:17:42.160 entertainment
00:17:44.620 vehicle in
00:17:46.520 the world
00:17:47.020 by 10.
00:17:49.200 It's probably
00:17:49.800 10 times more
00:17:50.740 entertaining than
00:17:51.620 the next most
00:17:52.440 entertaining thing,
00:17:53.780 this long
00:17:54.220 form.
00:17:55.180 I'm just
00:17:55.540 talking about
00:17:55.960 long form.
00:17:57.700 So anyway,
00:17:59.740 I think
00:18:00.320 Musk might 0.99
00:18:01.040 have more
00:18:01.720 of an
00:18:02.100 instinct about
00:18:03.220 advertising being
00:18:04.460 dead than
00:18:05.200 you do,
00:18:06.280 and just
00:18:07.260 speculating,
00:18:08.500 that I think
00:18:09.000 he's probably
00:18:09.500 thinking ahead
00:18:10.180 to the death
00:18:10.700 of advertising,
00:18:11.920 and that he
00:18:12.660 probably didn't
00:18:13.460 feel that it
00:18:14.780 was an
00:18:15.260 existential threat
00:18:16.400 to X
00:18:17.080 if he just
00:18:18.120 killed it
00:18:18.580 early.
00:18:19.780 In fact,
00:18:20.240 it might
00:18:20.520 accelerate the
00:18:21.680 urgency to get
00:18:22.660 past the
00:18:23.160 model,
00:18:24.160 which is going
00:18:24.680 to happen
00:18:24.940 anyway.
00:18:26.000 So he might
00:18:26.960 actually come
00:18:27.440 on ahead
00:18:27.920 because you
00:18:29.140 can imagine
00:18:29.660 what would
00:18:30.040 happen to
00:18:30.500 the team
00:18:30.960 at X.
00:18:32.100 Imagine
00:18:32.600 that you're
00:18:32.940 working at
00:18:33.480 X.
00:18:34.520 Some people
00:18:35.420 are trying
00:18:35.740 to work
00:18:36.120 on the
00:18:36.520 non-advertising
00:18:37.480 model,
00:18:38.620 and some
00:18:39.080 are working
00:18:39.480 on the
00:18:39.800 advertising
00:18:40.220 model.
00:18:41.460 Do you
00:18:42.100 think when
00:18:42.460 he blew
00:18:42.800 up the
00:18:43.100 advertising
00:18:43.600 model,
00:18:44.520 that that
00:18:44.900 changed
00:18:45.280 the energy?
00:18:46.980 Probably.
00:18:48.020 Probably the
00:18:48.780 people figuring
00:18:49.560 out how to
00:18:50.140 make AI
00:18:50.640 work and
00:18:51.280 all the
00:18:51.960 alternatives
00:18:52.520 probably got
00:18:53.680 real busy.
00:18:54.220 probably also
00:18:56.060 the advertising
00:18:56.900 team got
00:18:57.520 real focused
00:18:58.460 on smaller
00:18:59.160 businesses,
00:19:00.440 the ones
00:19:00.760 that are
00:19:01.400 more likely
00:19:02.960 to be
00:19:03.520 advertising.
00:19:05.880 So I'm
00:19:06.740 not sure
00:19:07.140 that that
00:19:07.520 was the
00:19:08.040 bad thing
00:19:08.580 that you
00:19:08.840 think it
00:19:09.200 was.
00:19:10.840 Maybe it
00:19:11.540 was.
00:19:11.880 There's no
00:19:12.240 way to read
00:19:12.620 his mind
00:19:13.000 to know
00:19:13.320 what he
00:19:13.500 was thinking.
00:19:14.460 But I'm
00:19:14.900 going to go
00:19:15.700 on record
00:19:16.120 as saying
00:19:16.520 I think
00:19:17.020 that Musk
00:19:18.080 will probably
00:19:19.720 say something
00:19:20.480 that suggests
00:19:21.180 the advertising
00:19:21.900 model is not
00:19:22.640 forever.
00:19:22.960 expect to
00:19:25.080 see that.
00:19:27.880 All right.
00:19:28.680 Climate
00:19:29.260 activists are
00:19:30.020 concerned that
00:19:31.600 AI would be
00:19:32.820 another risk
00:19:33.500 to climate
00:19:34.040 in two
00:19:35.500 different ways.
00:19:37.040 AI might
00:19:37.600 be used to
00:19:38.180 spread climate
00:19:38.940 disinformation.
00:19:40.760 Well,
00:19:41.620 my God.
00:19:44.300 My God.
00:19:45.420 Yeah.
00:19:46.400 I'd hate for
00:19:47.380 there to be
00:19:47.860 any climate
00:19:48.540 disinformation
00:19:49.380 out there.
00:19:50.680 Because you
00:19:51.040 know what?
00:19:51.520 the climate
00:19:53.140 information that
00:19:54.040 we have now
00:19:54.720 is so good
00:19:56.320 that we all
00:19:57.560 have the same
00:19:58.100 opinion about
00:19:58.760 the risk.
00:19:59.260 Am I right?
00:20:01.180 Yeah.
00:20:01.860 Because it
00:20:02.440 would be a
00:20:02.780 real problem
00:20:03.420 if suddenly
00:20:04.340 our good
00:20:04.900 climate
00:20:05.300 information
00:20:05.900 turned into
00:20:07.180 unreliable
00:20:08.040 stuff because
00:20:09.500 of AI.
00:20:09.920 I mean,
00:20:11.240 that's reason
00:20:12.080 enough to
00:20:12.540 stop AI.
00:20:13.800 Let's slow
00:20:14.320 that down.
00:20:15.540 We don't
00:20:15.820 want any
00:20:16.260 unreliable
00:20:17.220 information about
00:20:18.060 the climate
00:20:18.520 out there.
00:20:18.980 But also
00:20:22.140 the AI
00:20:22.940 models are
00:20:23.520 huge data
00:20:25.040 center users
00:20:26.700 and so
00:20:27.320 they use
00:20:28.580 a ton of
00:20:29.260 electricity.
00:20:30.820 So that's
00:20:31.240 a good
00:20:31.420 point.
00:20:33.380 Or is
00:20:34.160 it?
00:20:36.560 Here are a
00:20:37.340 few things
00:20:37.860 that AI
00:20:38.440 might tell
00:20:39.180 you about
00:20:39.960 climate
00:20:40.480 models.
00:20:41.880 You know
00:20:42.200 how I know
00:20:42.720 that it
00:20:43.000 might tell
00:20:43.360 you this?
00:20:44.720 I asked
00:20:45.560 it.
00:20:45.740 So I
00:20:47.220 asked AI,
00:20:48.280 hey,
00:20:48.920 I got a
00:20:49.280 few specific
00:20:49.880 questions about
00:20:50.560 climate models
00:20:51.340 because I
00:20:52.360 would like to
00:20:52.800 know how
00:20:53.100 reliable they
00:20:53.840 are.
00:20:54.940 So here
00:20:55.340 are some
00:20:55.640 things that
00:20:56.480 there's no
00:20:56.940 opinion in
00:20:57.760 what I give
00:20:58.200 you now.
00:20:59.320 So these
00:20:59.820 are just
00:21:00.120 facts.
00:21:02.380 I asked
00:21:03.140 how many
00:21:03.480 climate
00:21:03.860 models are
00:21:04.460 there?
00:21:06.940 Do you
00:21:07.600 know?
00:21:08.240 How many
00:21:08.800 climate
00:21:09.240 models are
00:21:09.840 there?
00:21:13.720 Thousands?
00:21:14.240 Dozens?
00:21:16.260 Hundreds?
00:21:16.840 Twenty-five?
00:21:18.440 Sixty?
00:21:19.620 Thirteen?
00:21:20.440 Now, don't
00:21:20.980 you think
00:21:21.460 that if
00:21:22.900 the entire
00:21:23.480 strategy of
00:21:24.360 climate change
00:21:25.100 is based on
00:21:26.040 the models,
00:21:27.220 and it is,
00:21:28.820 don't you
00:21:29.200 think you
00:21:29.560 should know
00:21:29.980 how many
00:21:30.400 models there
00:21:30.960 are?
00:21:32.100 Would it
00:21:32.700 affect your
00:21:33.220 opinion of
00:21:33.800 the reliability
00:21:34.420 of models if
00:21:35.920 you knew how
00:21:36.360 many there
00:21:36.720 were?
00:21:38.200 Take two
00:21:39.180 extremes.
00:21:40.760 Let's say
00:21:41.220 there had
00:21:42.460 never been
00:21:42.940 more than
00:21:44.240 five
00:21:44.800 models.
00:21:47.020 And one
00:21:47.860 of them
00:21:48.120 got thrown
00:21:48.580 away over
00:21:49.240 the years
00:21:49.740 because it
00:21:50.460 just didn't
00:21:50.820 work.
00:21:51.720 But imagine
00:21:52.280 if the other
00:21:52.860 four had
00:21:54.480 been doing a
00:21:55.180 pretty good
00:21:55.920 job for
00:21:56.620 like 30
00:21:57.180 years.
00:21:58.500 That would
00:21:59.180 tell you
00:21:59.520 something important,
00:22:00.340 wouldn't it?
00:22:00.680 You had three
00:22:01.160 different models,
00:22:02.380 and they actually
00:22:02.980 predicted pretty
00:22:03.980 well the
00:22:05.700 actual temperature
00:22:06.620 for 30
00:22:07.340 years?
00:22:08.240 My God,
00:22:08.840 that would
00:22:09.080 be amazing.
00:22:10.720 And I would
00:22:11.180 be quite inclined
00:22:12.000 to believe a
00:22:12.600 model like that.
00:22:14.240 Do we have
00:22:14.660 that?
00:22:15.880 No, nothing
00:22:16.600 like that.
00:22:18.040 That would
00:22:18.660 be very,
00:22:19.980 very believable.
00:22:22.720 All right,
00:22:22.960 here's another
00:22:23.320 question.
00:22:24.260 So the answer
00:22:24.960 is that the
00:22:26.440 IPPC averages
00:22:28.140 29 models.
00:22:32.020 Is that the
00:22:32.800 answer to how
00:22:34.220 many models
00:22:34.760 there are?
00:22:35.580 If the most
00:22:36.860 official body
00:22:37.740 takes the
00:22:38.900 average of 29
00:22:39.900 models,
00:22:40.400 so would
00:22:41.500 it be fair
00:22:41.960 to say
00:22:42.440 there are
00:22:43.440 about 29
00:22:44.140 models?
00:22:45.860 Does it
00:22:46.480 follow?
00:22:47.260 Does it
00:22:47.880 follow that
00:22:48.400 if they
00:22:48.820 only use
00:22:49.920 29,
00:22:51.300 well,
00:22:51.580 they can't
00:22:51.920 be that
00:22:52.260 much more
00:22:52.880 than 29?
00:22:55.200 Because the
00:22:55.820 whole reason
00:22:56.620 that you take
00:22:57.080 an average
00:22:57.500 is because
00:22:58.880 you're not
00:22:59.280 sure which
00:22:59.700 ones are
00:23:00.080 right.
00:23:01.380 So if you
00:23:02.080 had hundreds
00:23:02.600 of them,
00:23:03.380 and you're
00:23:03.860 not sure
00:23:04.220 they're right,
00:23:05.140 you would
00:23:05.700 take the
00:23:06.020 average of
00:23:06.480 all the
00:23:06.720 hundreds.
00:23:06.980 So
00:23:08.700 therefore,
00:23:09.300 if they're
00:23:09.560 only taking
00:23:10.000 an average
00:23:10.360 of 29,
00:23:11.900 doesn't that
00:23:12.440 suggest,
00:23:13.960 since they're
00:23:14.420 not being
00:23:14.820 super picky
00:23:15.520 about which,
00:23:16.400 you know,
00:23:16.800 because they
00:23:17.140 don't know
00:23:17.440 which ones
00:23:17.800 are right,
00:23:18.340 that's why
00:23:18.700 they take
00:23:19.060 an average,
00:23:20.060 doesn't it
00:23:20.500 suggest that
00:23:21.120 the total
00:23:21.560 number might
00:23:22.620 be close
00:23:23.060 to 29,
00:23:24.360 because why
00:23:24.920 would they
00:23:25.260 throw out
00:23:25.780 any models?
00:23:27.220 What would
00:23:27.980 be the
00:23:28.300 reasoning for
00:23:29.800 discarding any
00:23:31.180 models at
00:23:31.780 all if they
00:23:32.780 don't know
00:23:33.080 which ones
00:23:33.420 are right?
00:23:34.800 And they
00:23:35.320 don't know
00:23:35.680 which ones
00:23:36.040 are right,
00:23:36.420 that's why
00:23:37.060 you average,
00:23:38.040 because you
00:23:38.240 don't know
00:23:38.520 which one's
00:23:38.880 right.
00:23:40.340 Well,
00:23:40.860 the answer
00:23:41.220 is,
00:23:41.640 it's probably
00:23:42.200 hundreds of
00:23:42.900 models,
00:23:43.560 but they
00:23:44.320 average 29.
00:23:45.920 Huh.
00:23:47.380 Huh.
00:23:48.800 Now,
00:23:49.320 here's another
00:23:49.700 question for
00:23:50.260 you.
00:23:51.520 How many
00:23:52.080 models are
00:23:52.900 retired every
00:23:53.840 year?
00:23:55.040 Do you know
00:23:55.640 what that
00:23:55.860 means?
00:23:57.180 It means there
00:23:57.980 used to be a
00:23:58.480 model that they
00:23:59.020 were tracking,
00:23:59.940 but it became
00:24:00.840 so bad at
00:24:01.620 tracking over
00:24:02.260 time that they
00:24:03.440 said, you
00:24:03.820 know, we
00:24:04.060 can't even
00:24:04.420 tweak it.
00:24:05.400 We're just
00:24:05.820 going to
00:24:06.020 throw this
00:24:06.420 in a way.
00:24:08.560 How many?
00:24:09.460 So, out
00:24:10.400 of the number
00:24:11.520 of models that
00:24:12.200 you don't even
00:24:12.680 know how many
00:24:13.200 there are,
00:24:14.140 maybe hundreds,
00:24:15.620 but maybe
00:24:16.020 29 good ones
00:24:17.000 according to
00:24:17.420 the IPPC,
00:24:18.480 how many of
00:24:19.000 them change
00:24:19.660 out every
00:24:20.120 year so
00:24:21.200 that the
00:24:21.580 29 you're
00:24:22.240 looking at
00:24:22.740 are not
00:24:23.220 exactly the
00:24:23.920 same 29
00:24:24.560 as five
00:24:25.100 years ago?
00:24:26.560 Do half
00:24:27.680 of them
00:24:27.940 change out?
00:24:29.000 Because if
00:24:29.600 half of them
00:24:30.160 changed out,
00:24:31.420 wouldn't you
00:24:31.820 say to
00:24:32.100 yourself,
00:24:32.480 well, that
00:24:32.700 doesn't sound
00:24:33.160 very good
00:24:34.020 at all?
00:24:34.900 That sounds
00:24:35.300 like guessing
00:24:35.840 if half of
00:24:37.080 them are
00:24:37.340 replaced every
00:24:38.000 year, or
00:24:39.100 is it one?
00:24:41.340 One out of
00:24:42.080 29 wouldn't
00:24:42.820 be bad, but
00:24:44.660 how about the
00:24:46.020 fact that you
00:24:46.420 don't know the
00:24:46.900 answer to that
00:24:47.400 question?
00:24:48.440 Because if you
00:24:49.140 don't know how
00:24:49.660 many get changed
00:24:50.480 out every year,
00:24:51.420 you don't know
00:24:52.380 anything.
00:24:52.700 Do you understand
00:24:54.760 that?
00:24:55.600 If they're tracking
00:24:56.700 29-ish models,
00:24:58.620 but you don't know
00:24:59.920 if they're replacing
00:25:00.720 models as they
00:25:01.580 go, you
00:25:03.080 literally don't
00:25:03.640 know anything.
00:25:05.700 Nothing can be
00:25:06.760 deduced from
00:25:08.300 tracking a
00:25:09.220 changing basket
00:25:10.400 of anything.
00:25:12.280 Imagine if this
00:25:13.120 had been the
00:25:13.500 stock market,
00:25:14.700 and they say
00:25:15.020 we're going to
00:25:15.440 track the
00:25:16.980 S&P 500.
00:25:19.500 Oh, but wait,
00:25:21.080 the S&P 500,
00:25:22.360 the biggest
00:25:23.000 500 companies,
00:25:24.060 it changes all
00:25:24.820 the time.
00:25:25.720 Things are
00:25:26.060 coming in and
00:25:26.620 coming out.
00:25:27.520 So at the
00:25:27.840 end, what did
00:25:28.360 you really
00:25:28.660 check?
00:25:29.000 It wasn't
00:25:30.600 500 companies
00:25:31.860 because at the
00:25:32.980 end, it might
00:25:33.420 be 350 to the
00:25:35.200 left, depending
00:25:35.820 on how long
00:25:36.360 you're tracking.
00:25:37.860 So if you're
00:25:39.160 not tracking
00:25:39.680 the same thing,
00:25:41.020 you're not
00:25:41.560 tracking anything.
00:25:44.000 All right,
00:25:44.240 here's another
00:25:44.620 question.
00:25:46.760 How many
00:25:47.560 variables are
00:25:49.560 in a model?
00:25:51.700 How many
00:25:52.480 variables are
00:25:54.180 in a typical
00:25:54.900 model?
00:25:56.080 If there were
00:25:57.080 three variables,
00:25:58.060 variables, I
00:25:59.020 would say to
00:25:59.420 myself, hmm,
00:26:01.020 three variables.
00:26:02.560 There's at
00:26:03.240 least a
00:26:03.620 fighting chance
00:26:04.460 that you
00:26:05.200 could wrestle
00:26:05.800 three variables
00:26:06.800 into a useful
00:26:08.340 model.
00:26:10.060 Because three
00:26:10.560 is not too
00:26:11.100 many.
00:26:12.480 Suppose you
00:26:13.620 had five.
00:26:16.800 Five is not
00:26:17.740 just two more
00:26:19.100 variables.
00:26:20.100 When you go
00:26:20.840 from three
00:26:21.340 variables to
00:26:22.000 five, your
00:26:23.640 possibilities
00:26:24.540 explode.
00:26:25.220 four variables.
00:26:27.400 How many
00:26:28.280 variables do
00:26:28.980 you think are
00:26:30.000 the essential
00:26:31.200 variables?
00:26:32.340 Do they even
00:26:32.740 have a name
00:26:33.120 for it?
00:26:33.580 The essential
00:26:34.080 variables.
00:26:34.920 Because they're
00:26:35.680 infinite variables,
00:26:36.980 but they're not
00:26:37.540 all meaningful.
00:26:38.780 How many are
00:26:39.540 the essential
00:26:40.140 ones?
00:26:41.440 Well, if you
00:26:42.960 check online,
00:26:43.680 you'll find out
00:26:44.300 four.
00:26:45.660 The four
00:26:46.360 variables.
00:26:47.760 So I said,
00:26:48.400 oh, that's not
00:26:49.360 bad.
00:26:50.180 Really?
00:26:51.220 There's just four
00:26:51.800 variables?
00:26:52.240 And then I
00:26:53.780 looked a little
00:26:54.400 deeper.
00:26:55.360 No, there
00:26:55.940 are four
00:26:56.500 categories of
00:26:58.440 variables.
00:26:59.760 There are four
00:27:00.200 categories.
00:27:01.760 The total
00:27:02.460 number of
00:27:02.900 variables is
00:27:03.680 closer to
00:27:04.500 54 essential
00:27:06.300 variables.
00:27:08.860 54
00:27:09.500 variables.
00:27:11.860 Now let me
00:27:12.760 ask you this.
00:27:15.140 What if there
00:27:16.160 were one more
00:27:16.960 variable that
00:27:17.660 they found
00:27:18.280 tomorrow?
00:27:18.900 Because I
00:27:20.920 see stories
00:27:21.700 about this
00:27:22.100 all the
00:27:22.360 time.
00:27:22.640 Oh, we
00:27:22.960 found another
00:27:24.240 variable we
00:27:24.920 didn't know
00:27:25.280 about.
00:27:26.440 If you
00:27:27.000 were to
00:27:27.280 find the
00:27:28.160 55th
00:27:28.960 variable and
00:27:30.440 you added
00:27:30.900 it to the
00:27:31.440 54, what
00:27:32.920 does your
00:27:33.300 intuition tell
00:27:34.180 you?
00:27:35.020 Does your
00:27:35.420 intuition tell
00:27:36.140 you, well,
00:27:36.680 it's only one
00:27:37.400 more variable.
00:27:38.560 You've already
00:27:39.120 got 54
00:27:39.860 variables.
00:27:40.900 So if you're
00:27:41.520 only going to
00:27:41.900 add one
00:27:42.320 more, how
00:27:42.920 much difference
00:27:43.480 could it
00:27:43.760 make?
00:27:44.400 Am I
00:27:44.720 right?
00:27:45.420 It's only
00:27:45.760 one more
00:27:46.140 variable.
00:27:47.020 You've
00:27:47.240 already got
00:27:47.520 54.
00:27:47.940 couldn't
00:27:48.940 make that
00:27:49.320 much
00:27:49.500 difference,
00:27:49.920 right?
00:27:51.200 No.
00:27:52.500 One
00:27:52.980 variable can
00:27:53.800 completely
00:27:54.300 change the
00:27:54.840 outcome from
00:27:55.480 up to
00:27:55.960 down.
00:27:56.940 If you've
00:27:57.680 never done
00:27:58.140 modeling, you
00:28:00.240 wouldn't know
00:28:00.600 that.
00:28:02.020 How many
00:28:02.720 of the
00:28:03.300 54 variables,
00:28:05.180 if you
00:28:05.580 got any
00:28:06.140 one of
00:28:06.540 them wrong,
00:28:07.240 just one
00:28:07.660 of them,
00:28:08.640 how many
00:28:09.100 of the
00:28:09.420 54 could
00:28:10.280 completely
00:28:10.860 reverse the
00:28:11.700 direction from
00:28:12.860 the temperature
00:28:13.380 going up to
00:28:14.720 the temperature
00:28:15.200 going down
00:28:16.020 in the
00:28:16.560 future?
00:28:16.820 How many
00:28:17.880 of the
00:28:18.080 54,
00:28:18.780 if you
00:28:18.980 just had
00:28:19.300 one of
00:28:19.600 them,
00:28:19.920 just one
00:28:20.500 of them,
00:28:21.180 a little
00:28:21.540 bit
00:28:21.700 wrong,
00:28:22.980 how can
00:28:23.580 it change
00:28:23.960 a lot
00:28:24.860 of them
00:28:25.080 probably?
00:28:26.440 Probably a
00:28:27.300 number of
00:28:27.820 the 54,
00:28:28.760 if you
00:28:29.020 got them
00:28:29.260 a little
00:28:29.560 bit wrong
00:28:30.040 and you
00:28:30.960 iterate that
00:28:31.660 over time
00:28:32.200 because small
00:28:32.800 errors exaggerate
00:28:33.780 over time
00:28:34.280 with models.
00:28:35.960 Probably there
00:28:36.780 are 54
00:28:38.160 ways that
00:28:38.940 that could 0.68
00:28:39.260 go wrong.
00:28:40.760 In other
00:28:41.100 words,
00:28:41.340 you'd have to
00:28:42.280 really have
00:28:42.700 a solid
00:28:43.940 lock
00:28:44.440 handle on
00:28:45.540 all 54
00:28:46.320 variables or
00:28:48.160 else it
00:28:48.540 wouldn't
00:28:48.740 necessarily be
00:28:50.020 anything.
00:28:51.280 It would
00:28:51.520 just be,
00:28:52.000 I don't know,
00:28:52.400 it could be
00:28:52.620 anything.
00:28:53.500 That would
00:28:53.780 be the only
00:28:54.180 way to
00:28:54.480 analyze 54
00:28:55.440 variables.
00:28:56.820 Now let
00:28:57.140 me ask you
00:28:57.540 this.
00:28:59.020 How many
00:28:59.640 models that
00:29:01.060 purport to
00:29:01.960 forecast the
00:29:02.740 future, and
00:29:04.400 of course there
00:29:05.040 are financial
00:29:05.540 models, economic
00:29:06.540 models, so a
00:29:07.540 lot of people
00:29:07.900 have models that
00:29:08.540 try to forecast
00:29:09.380 the future?
00:29:10.320 How many
00:29:10.780 of them have
00:29:11.360 something in
00:29:12.740 the order of
00:29:13.340 54 variables
00:29:14.500 and a track
00:29:15.940 record of being
00:29:16.580 correct?
00:29:19.960 Now I'm
00:29:20.820 laughing because
00:29:21.980 everybody who's
00:29:23.040 been involved in
00:29:23.820 any kind of
00:29:24.520 forecasting or
00:29:25.380 modeling knows, 0.98
00:29:27.460 and I'm going to
00:29:27.880 say as clearly
00:29:28.480 as possible,
00:29:30.300 they know that
00:29:32.140 this isn't real.
00:29:33.900 This is not
00:29:34.480 real.
00:29:35.440 There's nobody
00:29:35.980 tracking 54
00:29:37.000 variables and
00:29:38.580 maybe 100
00:29:39.360 hundreds of
00:29:39.760 models, but
00:29:40.860 some humans
00:29:41.640 are picking the
00:29:42.360 best 29 out
00:29:43.600 of the hundreds
00:29:44.100 because what?
00:29:46.520 Do you know
00:29:46.900 how they pick
00:29:47.400 the 29 models
00:29:48.560 out of the
00:29:48.960 hundreds of
00:29:49.380 models?
00:29:50.440 Is it because
00:29:51.340 they're the
00:29:51.660 most accurate?
00:29:54.300 I doubt it.
00:29:55.840 Or is it the
00:29:56.660 ones that support
00:29:57.620 the narrative
00:29:59.120 the best?
00:30:00.160 What do you
00:30:00.560 think?
00:30:02.180 What do you
00:30:02.640 think?
00:30:03.480 Use your
00:30:04.100 understanding of
00:30:04.900 everything you've
00:30:05.600 ever seen in
00:30:06.280 the real world.
00:30:07.700 You tell me that
00:30:08.440 there are hundreds
00:30:09.000 of models to
00:30:09.680 choose from.
00:30:10.780 They're only
00:30:11.200 going to choose
00:30:11.720 29.
00:30:12.880 You think they're
00:30:13.480 going to choose
00:30:13.940 29 models that
00:30:15.420 when you put them
00:30:15.980 together they don't
00:30:16.760 support the
00:30:17.320 narrative?
00:30:18.780 There isn't the
00:30:20.200 slightest chance of
00:30:21.060 that.
00:30:22.120 Not even the
00:30:23.120 slightest chance.
00:30:24.540 Now how about
00:30:25.020 weighting?
00:30:26.420 You think they
00:30:26.940 take those 29
00:30:27.860 models and they
00:30:29.700 give them all
00:30:30.240 equal weight?
00:30:32.000 Because normally
00:30:32.880 when you do a
00:30:33.520 survey, you would
00:30:34.940 weight it by the
00:30:36.180 number of people
00:30:36.700 you talk to.
00:30:38.320 If you're
00:30:38.960 going to take
00:30:39.340 an average of
00:30:40.680 a bunch of
00:30:41.300 surveys about
00:30:42.600 let's say vaccine
00:30:43.540 effectiveness or
00:30:45.080 something like
00:30:45.360 that, the thing
00:30:46.520 that would make
00:30:47.040 it logical to
00:30:48.060 average them is
00:30:49.680 that they're
00:30:50.600 individually
00:30:51.160 smallish studies.
00:30:53.800 So if you add
00:30:55.060 them together,
00:30:55.440 you've got enough
00:30:56.080 at least people
00:30:56.880 involved to say
00:30:58.200 something.
00:30:58.880 But what is it
00:30:59.580 you're averaging if
00:31:00.440 you're averaging
00:31:01.060 climate models?
00:31:02.600 what is the
00:31:04.740 meta-analysis logic
00:31:07.120 that adding them
00:31:08.660 together and
00:31:09.260 taking the
00:31:09.740 average is
00:31:11.500 anything?
00:31:13.840 Like how does
00:31:14.860 it even make
00:31:15.200 sense?
00:31:17.760 Yeah.
00:31:18.420 The meta-analysis
00:31:19.700 at least makes
00:31:20.600 sense even though
00:31:21.440 it's bullshitted
00:31:22.160 and it's horoscopes.
00:31:23.540 But at least
00:31:23.960 there's a little
00:31:24.620 bit of logic to
00:31:25.700 it.
00:31:26.220 If the only
00:31:26.860 thing wrong with
00:31:27.480 the studies was
00:31:28.160 some of them
00:31:29.220 were underpowered,
00:31:30.180 then adding
00:31:31.560 them together
00:31:32.480 would be
00:31:32.820 exactly the
00:31:33.380 right solution.
00:31:35.360 But if you
00:31:35.960 have completely
00:31:36.600 just people
00:31:37.960 looking at
00:31:38.460 variables on
00:31:39.240 their own
00:31:39.640 and databases
00:31:40.320 on their own,
00:31:41.520 what is it
00:31:42.100 you're averaging?
00:31:44.520 Just the
00:31:45.140 outcomes.
00:31:46.400 And I'm not
00:31:46.800 sure there's
00:31:48.220 any logic to
00:31:49.040 that or
00:31:49.540 why would
00:31:52.160 you even
00:31:52.500 assume that
00:31:52.980 the average
00:31:53.440 is useful?
00:31:55.640 There's no
00:31:56.160 logic to say
00:31:57.320 that the
00:31:57.640 average would
00:31:58.160 be useful
00:31:58.700 in this
00:31:59.160 specific case.
00:32:00.180 There are
00:32:00.580 lots of
00:32:00.900 cases where
00:32:01.420 the average
00:32:01.820 isn't exactly
00:32:02.440 what you
00:32:02.780 want.
00:32:03.440 But I
00:32:03.720 don't see
00:32:04.020 any
00:32:04.260 internal
00:32:04.700 logic to
00:32:05.300 this.
00:32:08.040 So you
00:32:09.320 don't know
00:32:09.620 how many
00:32:09.940 models are
00:32:10.520 added to
00:32:11.100 the total
00:32:11.680 new models.
00:32:13.100 You don't
00:32:13.540 know how
00:32:13.840 many are
00:32:14.180 retired.
00:32:15.340 You don't
00:32:16.020 know how
00:32:16.320 they picked
00:32:16.680 the 29
00:32:17.260 models.
00:32:18.400 And you
00:32:19.000 don't know
00:32:19.500 if they
00:32:20.280 added one
00:32:20.880 more variable
00:32:21.560 someday to
00:32:22.280 the 54
00:32:22.860 they have
00:32:23.440 if it
00:32:24.120 would reverse
00:32:24.680 the entire
00:32:25.160 direction
00:32:25.620 of the
00:32:25.860 curve.
00:32:26.120 let me
00:32:28.280 say the
00:32:28.760 faster
00:32:29.380 version of
00:32:29.980 all this.
00:32:31.460 Nobody
00:32:31.800 can predict
00:32:32.340 the future.
00:32:35.520 Nobody
00:32:36.040 can predict
00:32:36.540 the future.
00:32:37.920 That's never
00:32:38.540 been a
00:32:38.860 thing.
00:32:39.980 Ever.
00:32:40.980 Ever.
00:32:41.840 You can
00:32:42.820 say maybe
00:32:43.360 that human
00:32:43.980 nature stays
00:32:44.760 consistent over
00:32:45.640 time.
00:32:46.020 and that
00:32:47.080 gives you
00:32:47.740 a little
00:32:48.020 bit of
00:32:48.360 that
00:32:48.600 history
00:32:49.500 repeats
00:32:50.080 feel.
00:32:50.860 But even
00:32:51.280 that's
00:32:51.600 fake.
00:32:52.660 But you
00:32:53.580 could definitely
00:32:53.980 say all
00:32:54.580 right next
00:32:55.320 year humans
00:32:55.940 will be
00:32:56.300 selfish and
00:32:57.080 susceptible
00:32:58.820 to cognitive
00:32:59.680 dissonance.
00:33:00.540 Yeah that's
00:33:00.940 fair.
00:33:01.820 But you
00:33:02.140 don't know
00:33:02.460 anything about
00:33:02.900 the variables
00:33:03.600 in nature.
00:33:06.540 All right.
00:33:09.500 Let's talk
00:33:10.120 about that
00:33:10.440 GOP debate.
00:33:12.080 I saw a
00:33:12.600 little of it
00:33:13.120 and I watched
00:33:13.520 a bunch of
00:33:13.880 clips.
00:33:14.200 If you
00:33:17.960 didn't watch
00:33:18.420 it the
00:33:18.760 four
00:33:19.240 participants
00:33:19.820 that are
00:33:20.340 not Trump
00:33:20.900 are Vivek
00:33:22.500 Ramaswamy
00:33:23.160 and Chris
00:33:23.860 Christie and
00:33:24.780 Nikki Haley
00:33:25.360 and that
00:33:27.560 other guy.
00:33:28.360 Who's the
00:33:28.640 other guy?
00:33:29.920 Who's the
00:33:30.300 fourth person
00:33:30.860 on the
00:33:31.120 stage?
00:33:33.100 The
00:33:33.220 sanctimonious
00:33:33.960 something?
00:33:35.080 Yeah somebody
00:33:35.560 named Ron
00:33:36.520 was also
00:33:37.560 there but
00:33:38.960 he did not
00:33:39.500 make any
00:33:39.940 highlight.
00:33:40.980 Ron didn't
00:33:41.820 make any
00:33:42.240 highlight films.
00:33:43.020 the highlight
00:33:44.640 films left
00:33:45.380 him out.
00:33:47.780 Now
00:33:48.020 here's what
00:33:51.920 I take
00:33:52.720 away from
00:33:53.180 the whole
00:33:53.480 thing.
00:33:55.140 It was
00:33:55.960 easy to
00:33:56.520 observe that
00:33:57.680 people just
00:33:58.260 thought their
00:33:59.100 favorite person
00:34:00.000 won.
00:34:01.840 I was
00:34:02.620 watching
00:34:03.060 David
00:34:03.980 Packman
00:34:04.440 when he
00:34:06.020 was observing
00:34:06.640 it as an
00:34:07.280 observer so I
00:34:08.200 was watching
00:34:08.600 him observe
00:34:09.220 in real
00:34:09.560 time and
00:34:10.840 his take
00:34:11.660 was that
00:34:12.040 Chris
00:34:12.300 Christie won
00:34:13.060 easily.
00:34:14.020 It was like
00:34:14.420 Chris Christie's
00:34:15.200 night.
00:34:16.440 Now Packman's
00:34:17.220 a Democrat
00:34:17.760 famous
00:34:19.260 Democrat and
00:34:21.480 do you think
00:34:22.140 that what he
00:34:22.680 was responding
00:34:23.260 to was the
00:34:24.080 quality of
00:34:24.880 Christie's
00:34:25.460 arguments or
00:34:26.920 was it that
00:34:27.560 Christie hates
00:34:28.280 Trump the
00:34:29.140 most?
00:34:30.480 Obviously it's
00:34:31.560 because Christie
00:34:32.880 is the one who
00:34:33.680 says Trump's
00:34:34.280 the problem.
00:34:35.180 Obviously.
00:34:35.580 Now did
00:34:37.360 he really
00:34:37.920 believe that
00:34:38.520 Chris Christie
00:34:39.120 did the best
00:34:39.900 job?
00:34:40.580 I think so.
00:34:41.600 I don't think
00:34:42.060 he was lying.
00:34:43.240 I think that
00:34:43.660 we all had
00:34:44.080 our subjective
00:34:44.760 reality
00:34:46.080 reinforced.
00:34:47.620 If you were
00:34:48.300 in Nikki
00:34:48.620 Hilley's camp
00:34:49.760 you thought
00:34:50.180 she won.
00:34:52.380 If you were
00:34:53.040 in DeSantis
00:34:53.540 camp you
00:34:54.400 thought he
00:34:54.800 won by not
00:34:55.600 making news
00:34:56.360 not being
00:34:57.420 crazy.
00:34:58.340 If you were
00:34:58.740 in Vivek's
00:34:59.380 camp as I
00:35:00.160 am you
00:35:01.020 think he
00:35:01.380 won and I
00:35:02.160 do.
00:35:03.000 So everybody
00:35:03.580 agreed with
00:35:04.280 what they
00:35:04.620 thought was
00:35:05.100 going to
00:35:05.280 happen before
00:35:05.860 it happened.
00:35:06.400 So you
00:35:07.340 could ignore
00:35:07.900 everybody's
00:35:08.580 opinion of
00:35:09.520 who won.
00:35:10.540 That's
00:35:11.060 useless.
00:35:12.320 But there
00:35:12.940 were some
00:35:13.480 highlights.
00:35:16.460 Van Jones
00:35:17.300 said he
00:35:17.660 was literally
00:35:18.280 shaking after
00:35:19.640 listening to
00:35:20.340 Vivek and
00:35:22.560 what he
00:35:23.020 called his
00:35:23.480 smooth and
00:35:24.080 condescending
00:35:24.660 way and
00:35:26.020 he's more
00:35:26.540 dangerous than
00:35:27.120 Trump because
00:35:27.700 he could
00:35:28.020 outlive Trump
00:35:29.400 by 50
00:35:29.900 years and
00:35:30.900 you might be
00:35:31.460 seeing a
00:35:33.160 tyrant in
00:35:33.940 the making
00:35:34.380 those are
00:35:35.400 my words
00:35:35.840 but he
00:35:37.400 says that
00:35:38.040 Vivek's
00:35:39.040 embracement
00:35:39.540 of the
00:35:40.040 quote
00:35:40.320 replacement
00:35:40.880 theory that
00:35:41.620 we'll talk
00:35:42.000 about is
00:35:43.000 one step
00:35:43.540 from Nazi
00:35:44.240 propaganda.
00:35:46.420 What do
00:35:46.720 you take
00:35:47.140 from Van
00:35:47.860 Jones' 0.79
00:35:48.420 reaction to
00:35:49.120 Vivek?
00:35:50.820 Do you
00:35:51.080 say to
00:35:51.340 yourself my
00:35:51.940 God I
00:35:52.460 had not
00:35:52.780 thought of
00:35:53.100 it that
00:35:53.340 way but
00:35:53.760 Van
00:35:54.540 Jones might
00:35:54.980 have a
00:35:55.240 good point
00:35:55.640 about this
00:35:56.120 this brown
00:35:57.600 fellow becoming
00:35:58.320 the next
00:35:58.760 Hitler or do 0.96
00:36:00.880 you say
00:36:01.300 that's the
00:36:02.380 only one he's
00:36:02.860 worried about.
00:36:04.380 to me it
00:36:06.600 looks like
00:36:06.960 Van
00:36:07.240 Jones is
00:36:07.740 only worried
00:36:08.280 about one
00:36:08.800 candidate
00:36:09.300 who isn't
00:36:09.840 Trump.
00:36:12.400 So does
00:36:13.780 that make
00:36:14.100 you like
00:36:14.460 Vivek less
00:36:15.380 knowing he's
00:36:16.480 the one that
00:36:16.880 scares Van
00:36:17.680 Jones the
00:36:18.240 most?
00:36:19.840 Well if you
00:36:20.520 believe that
00:36:21.020 the reason
00:36:21.420 he's scared
00:36:21.900 is the
00:36:22.920 risk of
00:36:23.420 totalitarian
00:36:24.220 racism
00:36:24.740 then I
00:36:25.980 guess you
00:36:28.460 haven't
00:36:28.740 listened to
00:36:29.140 anything
00:36:29.500 Vivek has
00:36:30.120 said.
00:36:30.340 that I
00:36:31.640 feel as
00:36:32.280 if this
00:36:33.300 analysis of
00:36:34.180 Vivek has
00:36:35.520 to ignore
00:36:36.100 everything he
00:36:37.040 stands for
00:36:37.780 the books
00:36:39.000 he's written
00:36:39.560 every TV
00:36:40.780 appearance and
00:36:41.540 everything he's
00:36:42.180 ever posted
00:36:42.740 which is
00:36:44.280 100%
00:36:45.560 merit and
00:36:49.100 not race.
00:36:51.400 He's the
00:36:52.280 most anti-racist
00:36:54.300 candidate of
00:36:55.160 all time.
00:36:55.720 by far.
00:36:58.560 He is the
00:36:58.980 furthest
00:36:59.480 from a
00:37:00.800 racist
00:37:01.440 Nazi
00:37:02.060 of any
00:37:03.540 major
00:37:04.320 candidate
00:37:04.760 in the
00:37:05.420 history of
00:37:06.080 the fucking
00:37:06.640 United States.
00:37:09.160 That's true.
00:37:11.160 He says
00:37:11.880 that the
00:37:12.240 loudest
00:37:12.780 and he's
00:37:13.720 the one
00:37:13.960 that says
00:37:14.340 you've got
00:37:14.660 to include
00:37:15.060 white people
00:37:15.660 and white
00:37:16.700 men if
00:37:17.540 you're being
00:37:17.900 serious about
00:37:18.740 merit,
00:37:20.240 if you're
00:37:20.620 being serious
00:37:21.160 about not
00:37:21.640 being racist.
00:37:22.300 who's the
00:37:25.480 other brown
00:37:26.580 leader who
00:37:27.920 says how
00:37:29.560 about white
00:37:30.140 people are
00:37:30.780 not discriminated
00:37:31.600 against either?
00:37:33.320 Yes, definitely
00:37:33.940 don't discriminate
00:37:34.620 against anybody
00:37:35.280 else, but
00:37:36.500 why are you
00:37:36.980 discriminated
00:37:37.500 against white
00:37:38.020 people?
00:37:39.640 He's the
00:37:40.020 only one.
00:37:41.760 Yeah.
00:37:43.840 The comment
00:37:44.780 says Scott
00:37:45.500 is Vivek's
00:37:46.500 propaganda
00:37:46.880 minister.
00:37:48.560 How about
00:37:49.180 I'm just
00:37:50.440 endorsing him
00:37:51.080 for president?
00:37:52.300 It looks
00:37:53.000 the same,
00:37:53.440 I guess.
00:37:55.760 All right,
00:37:56.060 some more
00:37:56.540 things that
00:37:57.980 happen.
00:38:02.100 So Megan
00:38:03.240 Kelly asked
00:38:04.060 Nikki Haley,
00:38:05.320 aren't you
00:38:05.740 too tight
00:38:06.240 with the
00:38:06.540 banks and
00:38:06.960 the billionaires
00:38:07.600 to win
00:38:08.000 over the
00:38:08.400 GOP's
00:38:08.980 working-class
00:38:09.760 base?
00:38:11.280 Good question.
00:38:13.040 And she
00:38:13.580 said,
00:38:14.240 we will
00:38:15.260 take support
00:38:15.800 from anybody.
00:38:16.940 I don't
00:38:17.160 ask them
00:38:18.120 what their
00:38:18.420 policies are.
00:38:19.500 They ask
00:38:19.940 me what
00:38:20.340 my policies
00:38:20.980 are.
00:38:21.360 Nicely
00:38:22.360 done.
00:38:23.740 Nicely
00:38:24.180 done.
00:38:25.080 I don't
00:38:25.720 think Nikki
00:38:26.920 Haley is
00:38:27.300 my first
00:38:28.000 choice or
00:38:28.980 even third
00:38:29.740 or fourth
00:38:30.160 choice for
00:38:30.620 president,
00:38:31.220 but that's
00:38:32.260 a good
00:38:32.500 answer.
00:38:34.060 That's the
00:38:34.760 Willie Brown
00:38:35.360 answer I
00:38:36.040 always talk
00:38:36.500 about,
00:38:37.300 where you
00:38:38.240 should just
00:38:38.980 go right
00:38:39.420 at it.
00:38:40.400 So denying
00:38:41.180 that you're
00:38:41.620 taking money
00:38:42.100 from somebody
00:38:42.720 is weak,
00:38:44.280 and denying
00:38:45.160 just restating
00:38:47.720 your policies
00:38:48.380 kind of
00:38:48.700 weak.
00:38:49.280 But she
00:38:49.580 says it
00:38:49.960 directly.
00:38:51.060 We'll
00:38:51.260 take money
00:38:51.640 from anybody.
00:38:52.480 They ask
00:38:52.780 me what
00:38:53.100 my policies
00:38:53.700 are.
00:38:54.060 That's the
00:38:54.300 way it
00:38:54.500 works.
00:38:54.800 It's not
00:38:55.040 the other
00:38:55.280 way around.
00:38:56.560 That is
00:38:57.000 a cool,
00:38:57.840 strong answer.
00:38:58.720 I like it.
00:39:00.540 All right.
00:39:01.940 Vivek went
00:39:02.600 super hard at
00:39:03.760 them, and he
00:39:04.420 had quite a few
00:39:05.160 moments.
00:39:05.840 One of his
00:39:06.240 moments was he
00:39:07.780 challenged his
00:39:08.460 competitors to
00:39:09.360 name the three
00:39:10.280 provinces in
00:39:11.160 Ukraine that
00:39:12.380 they're trying
00:39:12.800 to protect.
00:39:16.040 Now, number
00:39:18.480 one, it's a
00:39:19.800 messed up
00:39:20.240 question, meaning
00:39:22.160 that I don't
00:39:23.220 think you need
00:39:23.820 to know the
00:39:24.620 names of the
00:39:25.240 provinces.
00:39:27.100 The same as I
00:39:28.180 didn't believe
00:39:28.800 that George
00:39:30.480 Bush Sr.
00:39:31.660 really needed
00:39:32.300 to know the
00:39:32.880 cost of a
00:39:33.500 price of bread.
00:39:35.140 Remember that
00:39:35.700 gotcha?
00:39:36.800 Somebody asked
00:39:37.520 George Bush
00:39:38.900 Sr. if he
00:39:39.480 knew the
00:39:39.760 price of a
00:39:40.760 loaf of bread
00:39:41.320 and he
00:39:41.540 didn't?
00:39:42.800 That really
00:39:43.760 was unimportant
00:39:44.540 because if he
00:39:46.460 understands, you
00:39:47.200 know, the
00:39:47.600 inflation rate, he
00:39:48.740 kind of gets
00:39:49.280 it.
00:39:50.200 You know, you
00:39:50.640 don't need to be
00:39:51.360 shopping for a
00:39:52.060 loaf of bread
00:39:52.620 yourself.
00:39:53.180 That was always
00:39:53.640 dumb.
00:39:54.840 So when Vivek
00:39:56.480 used the loaf
00:39:57.400 of bread trick,
00:39:58.160 I'll call it, to
00:39:59.440 challenge them to
00:40:00.260 name the three
00:40:00.960 provinces, Nikki
00:40:03.360 Haley got a
00:40:05.360 look on her
00:40:05.880 face that Vivek
00:40:07.920 called out as a
00:40:08.860 blank expression.
00:40:10.620 Now, this was the
00:40:11.880 brilliant part.
00:40:13.640 This was
00:40:13.960 brilliant.
00:40:15.500 So much like
00:40:16.380 the, you've
00:40:17.840 heard the
00:40:18.180 auditory illusion
00:40:19.680 of, what is
00:40:22.120 it, Green
00:40:22.520 Needle and
00:40:23.260 the other, Jan
00:40:26.180 and Laurel,
00:40:27.000 Laurel and
00:40:27.500 Yanni and all
00:40:28.100 that stuff.
00:40:29.340 So when Nikki
00:40:32.280 Haley made, let's
00:40:33.840 say, an
00:40:34.280 exaggerated
00:40:34.760 expression on
00:40:35.640 her face to
00:40:36.340 that comment,
00:40:37.520 you know, in
00:40:37.860 her mouth,
00:40:39.120 especially, went
00:40:39.880 sort of a
00:40:40.900 smirk, I
00:40:42.240 looked at the
00:40:42.760 smirk and
00:40:43.180 I said, is
00:40:44.600 that a blank
00:40:45.540 expression or
00:40:46.540 is that a
00:40:46.960 smirk?
00:40:48.080 Because a
00:40:48.760 smirk says, I'm
00:40:50.820 going to kill
00:40:51.260 you and I
00:40:52.900 have the goods.
00:40:53.520 But if the
00:40:55.100 smirk was a, uh-oh,
00:40:56.620 I'm in
00:40:57.220 trouble, well,
00:40:58.480 then it's the
00:40:58.780 exact opposite.
00:41:01.040 So when Vivek
00:41:02.380 called her out and
00:41:03.840 pointed to her and
00:41:04.640 said, look at the
00:41:05.300 blank expressions,
00:41:07.180 he primed you to
00:41:09.140 see it as a
00:41:09.840 blank expression.
00:41:10.700 And it was
00:41:13.420 brilliant.
00:41:15.080 That was probably
00:41:16.640 the smartest in
00:41:18.800 the moment play
00:41:20.260 you'll ever see in
00:41:21.160 your life.
00:41:22.320 Because when he
00:41:23.100 called it out as a
00:41:23.980 blank expression, you
00:41:25.560 saw it that way.
00:41:26.880 If he had not
00:41:27.860 called it out, do
00:41:28.660 you know how you
00:41:29.060 might have seen
00:41:29.500 it?
00:41:31.780 How many of you
00:41:32.720 watched the
00:41:33.360 debate and
00:41:34.560 noticed that
00:41:35.300 eventually Nikki
00:41:36.180 Haley did say the
00:41:37.480 names of the
00:41:38.060 three provinces
00:41:38.760 without prompting?
00:41:39.680 Did anybody see
00:41:40.980 her do it?
00:41:43.480 Nope, you
00:41:44.140 didn't even see
00:41:44.600 it.
00:41:45.180 I did.
00:41:46.020 I saw it.
00:41:48.440 Because she did
00:41:49.340 it when somebody
00:41:49.940 was talking over
00:41:50.780 her.
00:41:51.660 So one of the
00:41:52.260 others or more
00:41:52.920 of them were
00:41:53.300 talking over her
00:41:54.160 and after the
00:41:55.460 conversation had
00:41:56.180 gone for a
00:41:56.660 while, she sort
00:41:57.840 of leaned into
00:41:58.460 the mic and
00:41:59.560 just said the
00:42:00.140 names of the
00:42:00.640 provinces.
00:42:02.800 So if you're
00:42:03.920 wondering what
00:42:04.400 the smirk was
00:42:05.120 for, she showed
00:42:06.840 you that she
00:42:08.100 actually knew the
00:42:08.720 names of the
00:42:09.140 provinces.
00:42:10.200 But she did a
00:42:11.640 bad job of
00:42:12.660 clearing out the
00:42:13.740 space so that
00:42:15.260 when she delivered
00:42:15.980 her kill shot 1.00
00:42:16.840 that she knew
00:42:17.620 the names of
00:42:18.100 the provinces,
00:42:18.920 you could hear
00:42:19.700 it and it
00:42:20.520 would be her
00:42:20.940 moment.
00:42:22.180 So I think,
00:42:23.600 you know, you
00:42:23.920 can't read minds,
00:42:25.020 I can't read her
00:42:25.680 mind, but I did
00:42:27.280 observe personally
00:42:28.480 her saying the
00:42:29.160 names of the
00:42:29.600 provinces.
00:42:30.980 Now, did she
00:42:33.000 have to think
00:42:33.640 about it?
00:42:34.620 Probably.
00:42:36.000 I would.
00:42:37.420 I'd have to,
00:42:38.100 like, think about
00:42:38.780 her for a 0.97
00:42:39.100 moment.
00:42:39.360 It's like,
00:42:39.620 can I come up
00:42:40.200 with the
00:42:40.440 three?
00:42:41.580 And then I
00:42:42.200 think Vivek
00:42:43.120 said something
00:42:43.660 about, you
00:42:44.460 know, acting
00:42:44.880 like she got
00:42:45.380 one of them
00:42:45.780 wrong or
00:42:46.220 something, Crimea
00:42:47.000 or something.
00:42:48.300 And, because
00:42:51.140 there, can you
00:42:52.300 give me a fact
00:42:52.860 check?
00:42:53.560 There are three
00:42:54.420 provinces, but
00:42:55.560 that doesn't
00:42:56.300 include Crimea,
00:42:57.240 right?
00:42:58.320 Crimea is,
00:42:59.720 would, it's
00:43:01.180 its own thing.
00:43:01.760 so, so she
00:43:05.500 got, you
00:43:06.160 know, she
00:43:06.520 may have
00:43:06.860 known, she
00:43:07.360 may have
00:43:07.580 gotten close,
00:43:08.280 or she
00:43:08.600 may have
00:43:08.800 had an
00:43:09.040 answer that
00:43:09.460 the audience
00:43:09.940 would recognize
00:43:10.600 or would
00:43:11.180 think was
00:43:11.540 the right
00:43:11.780 answer.
00:43:12.820 But, so
00:43:14.520 I'm going to
00:43:14.840 give Vivek an
00:43:16.340 A-plus for
00:43:17.560 creating that
00:43:18.440 situation.
00:43:20.140 It was a
00:43:20.800 good one.
00:43:22.240 For priming
00:43:23.580 us to see
00:43:24.140 her as a
00:43:24.740 blank, blank
00:43:25.780 face, and
00:43:27.060 also the other
00:43:27.640 people.
00:43:27.960 And then
00:43:29.300 also talking
00:43:30.140 over her
00:43:30.720 when she had
00:43:31.280 a chance to
00:43:31.960 redeem herself,
00:43:35.560 that also
00:43:36.040 worked.
00:43:37.420 So you
00:43:38.000 might say
00:43:38.380 to yourself,
00:43:38.960 that was
00:43:39.440 really kind
00:43:40.340 of sneaky,
00:43:42.240 you know,
00:43:42.560 weaselly debate
00:43:43.760 technique, to
00:43:45.420 which I say,
00:43:46.440 that's all these
00:43:47.380 debates are.
00:43:49.000 All the
00:43:49.600 debates are,
00:43:50.360 are people
00:43:50.880 looking for
00:43:51.380 their little
00:43:51.880 weaselly,
00:43:52.720 tricky moments.
00:43:54.240 It's not about
00:43:54.860 the cleverness
00:43:55.700 of their
00:43:55.960 argument.
00:43:56.640 If it were
00:43:57.140 about this
00:43:57.700 solidness of
00:43:58.420 the argument,
00:43:59.740 DeSantis would
00:44:00.440 look like a
00:44:00.920 winner, you
00:44:01.900 know, at
00:44:02.340 least half of
00:44:02.800 the debates.
00:44:03.740 But it's
00:44:04.000 never about
00:44:04.480 that.
00:44:04.900 It's about
00:44:05.300 creating the
00:44:05.980 energy and
00:44:06.480 the moment
00:44:06.960 and the,
00:44:07.780 you know,
00:44:08.020 can you do
00:44:08.480 it again
00:44:08.840 kind of vibe.
00:44:10.320 So if you
00:44:11.100 didn't like
00:44:11.540 Vivek, you
00:44:12.160 liked him
00:44:12.660 even less
00:44:13.300 because he
00:44:14.160 was so
00:44:14.520 strong in
00:44:15.020 the debate.
00:44:15.600 If you
00:44:15.840 liked him,
00:44:16.800 you said,
00:44:17.220 oh, he
00:44:17.500 scored all
00:44:17.980 the good
00:44:18.360 hits,
00:44:19.360 et cetera.
00:44:20.920 Another,
00:44:21.620 we'll give
00:44:22.220 some more
00:44:22.560 moments here.
00:44:25.540 So Vivek
00:44:26.420 said that he
00:44:27.360 believed,
00:44:27.840 he said,
00:44:28.440 why am I
00:44:28.860 the only
00:44:29.140 person on
00:44:29.640 the stage
00:44:30.220 at least
00:44:31.420 who can
00:44:31.760 say that?
00:44:32.900 And then he
00:44:33.280 listed several
00:44:34.200 things that
00:44:34.880 are really
00:44:35.540 controversial,
00:44:36.920 that he
00:44:37.240 says he
00:44:37.760 believes now,
00:44:39.080 that other
00:44:39.500 people are
00:44:39.880 afraid to
00:44:40.340 say they
00:44:40.640 believe.
00:44:41.520 So the
00:44:41.900 first one is
00:44:42.460 that January
00:44:43.300 6th now
00:44:44.120 looks like it
00:44:44.640 was an
00:44:44.880 inside job.
00:44:46.640 Now he
00:44:47.000 says looks
00:44:48.000 like it
00:44:48.420 was,
00:44:50.080 which is the
00:44:50.720 fairest way
00:44:51.260 to say it.
00:44:51.960 If he said
00:44:52.580 it was, I
00:44:53.440 think that would
00:44:53.820 be going
00:44:54.080 too far.
00:44:55.160 But he's
00:44:55.520 really smart
00:44:56.320 about knowing
00:44:57.180 where that
00:44:57.780 line is.
00:44:58.900 So he
00:44:59.300 says it
00:45:00.480 looks like
00:45:01.000 it was an
00:45:02.460 inside job.
00:45:03.440 And it
00:45:03.960 does.
00:45:04.840 It looks
00:45:05.480 like it.
00:45:06.360 I also do
00:45:07.560 not declare
00:45:08.180 that it
00:45:08.540 was.
00:45:09.940 But based
00:45:10.600 on what
00:45:10.900 we've seen,
00:45:12.500 I'd say the
00:45:13.080 hypothesis that
00:45:14.140 it was an
00:45:14.480 inside job is
00:45:15.600 dominant,
00:45:18.260 more likely
00:45:18.980 than the
00:45:19.720 opposite,
00:45:20.440 but I don't
00:45:20.880 know for
00:45:21.200 sure.
00:45:22.380 Then he
00:45:22.660 also said
00:45:23.260 the government
00:45:24.620 lied about
00:45:25.200 9-11 and
00:45:26.360 Saudi Arabian
00:45:27.100 involvement,
00:45:27.840 lied for
00:45:28.160 20 years.
00:45:31.560 I'm not
00:45:32.220 totally up on
00:45:33.020 that topic,
00:45:33.740 but sounds
00:45:35.120 like that's
00:45:35.680 about right.
00:45:36.860 That the
00:45:37.540 2020 election
00:45:38.320 was stolen
00:45:38.840 from Trump.
00:45:40.380 Now when he
00:45:40.880 says stolen,
00:45:41.540 he doesn't
00:45:41.920 mean that the
00:45:42.480 vote was
00:45:42.960 miscounted.
00:45:44.400 He's talking
00:45:44.900 about more
00:45:45.700 platform
00:45:47.420 manipulation and
00:45:48.660 the suppression
00:45:50.380 of free
00:45:50.740 speech.
00:45:50.880 speech and
00:45:51.220 all that,
00:45:51.640 which is
00:45:52.020 valid.
00:45:54.240 And then
00:45:54.920 here's where
00:45:55.440 the trouble
00:45:55.840 comes,
00:45:57.280 or does
00:45:58.040 it?
00:45:59.300 You've heard
00:45:59.740 of this
00:46:00.020 thing called
00:46:00.500 the great
00:46:01.280 replacement?
00:46:02.980 I know
00:46:03.600 you've heard
00:46:03.960 of it.
00:46:04.820 It's the
00:46:05.200 idea that
00:46:05.900 generally
00:46:07.020 comes from
00:46:07.960 very right
00:46:09.240 wing
00:46:09.580 conservative
00:46:10.940 types.
00:46:13.420 And they
00:46:13.760 say that,
00:46:15.020 remember the
00:46:15.920 Charlottesville
00:46:17.340 march and the
00:46:18.120 marchers were
00:46:18.660 saying they
00:46:19.540 will not
00:46:19.880 replace us.
00:46:20.620 talking about
00:46:21.480 Jews.
00:46:23.820 And that's
00:46:24.360 just like a
00:46:24.880 sliver of
00:46:25.460 the larger
00:46:26.440 concept.
00:46:27.700 But then if
00:46:28.340 you look at
00:46:28.720 the border,
00:46:30.160 it looks like
00:46:30.740 there's some
00:46:31.540 kind of,
00:46:32.600 well,
00:46:33.420 some would
00:46:33.880 say,
00:46:34.340 I'll say
00:46:34.640 some would
00:46:35.060 say,
00:46:35.820 that it
00:46:36.120 looks like
00:46:36.520 the open
00:46:37.120 border is
00:46:38.160 an obvious
00:46:39.240 attempt to
00:46:40.460 replace the
00:46:41.400 current
00:46:42.000 majorities with
00:46:43.020 rounder
00:46:43.620 majorities that
00:46:44.460 are more
00:46:44.780 likely to vote
00:46:45.460 Democrats.
00:46:47.540 Now,
00:46:47.780 Vivek is
00:46:48.380 taking,
00:46:48.900 I think,
00:46:49.360 the border
00:46:50.980 is open
00:46:51.740 and they're
00:46:52.660 bringing in
00:46:53.160 lots of
00:46:53.540 future
00:46:53.840 Democrat
00:46:54.280 voters to
00:46:55.760 replace us,
00:46:56.960 meaning us
00:46:58.600 in this case
00:46:59.100 would be
00:46:59.480 conservatives,
00:47:00.200 not white
00:47:00.580 people.
00:47:01.660 So when
00:47:02.420 Vivek says
00:47:03.140 replacement,
00:47:04.360 he's not
00:47:05.060 talking about
00:47:05.620 brown people
00:47:06.340 because he's
00:47:08.680 brown,
00:47:09.540 right?
00:47:10.520 He's not
00:47:11.100 talking about,
00:47:11.700 I think they
00:47:12.120 want brown 0.89
00:47:12.620 people to
00:47:13.160 replace
00:47:13.600 Vivek.
00:47:14.220 that's
00:47:16.320 not what
00:47:16.620 he's
00:47:16.780 saying.
00:47:18.040 But he's
00:47:18.900 definitely
00:47:20.560 dancing close
00:47:21.540 to the
00:47:21.980 sun here
00:47:22.780 because people
00:47:23.900 like Van
00:47:24.420 Jones are 1.00
00:47:24.940 going to
00:47:25.120 hear it
00:47:25.540 as the
00:47:26.000 racist
00:47:26.320 version.
00:47:27.480 But if
00:47:27.720 you hear
00:47:28.060 it as
00:47:28.380 why is
00:47:29.140 the border
00:47:29.520 open and
00:47:30.700 non-citizens
00:47:31.760 are pouring
00:47:32.240 in and
00:47:33.260 changing the
00:47:33.900 nature of
00:47:34.580 our country
00:47:36.100 in ways
00:47:36.760 that maybe
00:47:37.480 he doesn't
00:47:38.560 like or
00:47:38.940 you don't
00:47:39.200 like.
00:47:40.720 So this
00:47:42.240 is really
00:47:43.000 dangerous and
00:47:44.020 provocative
00:47:44.580 but I
00:47:47.840 think what
00:47:48.200 he's trying
00:47:48.500 to do
00:47:48.860 is revive
00:47:49.960 free speech.
00:47:53.400 That's what
00:47:53.800 I see in
00:47:54.220 this comment.
00:47:55.160 I don't
00:47:55.460 see in
00:47:55.760 this comment
00:47:56.260 any kind
00:47:56.800 of dog
00:47:59.300 whistle.
00:48:00.260 I don't
00:48:00.740 think he's
00:48:01.180 about the
00:48:01.540 dog whistle.
00:48:02.660 I think
00:48:02.980 this is
00:48:03.360 more about
00:48:03.920 the beginning
00:48:05.000 of reclaiming
00:48:06.060 the great
00:48:06.560 replacement
00:48:07.080 from it's
00:48:08.460 only what
00:48:08.880 racists talk
00:48:09.520 about to
00:48:10.500 I'm just
00:48:11.960 looking at
00:48:12.320 the math
00:48:12.820 you just
00:48:14.060 brought in
00:48:14.660 8 million
00:48:15.200 people that
00:48:16.380 weren't here
00:48:16.800 before.
00:48:18.880 Are they
00:48:19.760 having an
00:48:20.300 impact on
00:48:22.480 our ability
00:48:24.260 to manage
00:48:26.800 the country
00:48:27.260 the way we
00:48:27.780 were?
00:48:28.560 Of course
00:48:28.960 they do.
00:48:30.080 Of course.
00:48:31.500 It might be a
00:48:32.420 good impact
00:48:33.000 or it might be
00:48:33.520 a bad impact
00:48:34.180 but it's
00:48:34.540 certainly
00:48:34.860 replacing what
00:48:36.640 was here
00:48:37.120 in a
00:48:38.580 general
00:48:38.840 sense
00:48:39.220 in fact.
00:48:40.200 But I
00:48:40.420 don't think
00:48:40.740 it's a
00:48:41.000 racial
00:48:41.600 comment.
00:48:42.240 I think
00:48:42.400 it has
00:48:42.540 more to
00:48:42.840 do with
00:48:43.500 how people
00:48:46.300 think
00:48:46.700 actually.
00:48:48.840 All right.
00:48:49.480 So we'll
00:48:49.840 see if he
00:48:50.240 can get
00:48:50.880 away from
00:48:51.260 that little
00:48:51.620 hole.
00:48:52.500 He dug
00:48:52.880 himself a
00:48:53.360 little hole
00:48:53.840 because should
00:48:55.360 he become
00:48:55.940 president or
00:48:57.520 presidential
00:48:57.980 candidate he's
00:48:59.120 going to have
00:48:59.420 to explain
00:48:59.880 this for the
00:49:00.380 rest of his
00:49:00.960 career.
00:49:02.220 They'll never
00:49:02.980 drop this.
00:49:04.580 But he is
00:49:05.640 good enough
00:49:06.280 that he
00:49:07.200 could take
00:49:07.660 the gun
00:49:08.020 from their
00:49:08.360 hand and
00:49:08.720 flip it
00:49:09.040 around.
00:49:10.180 So if you
00:49:10.600 imagine Vivek
00:49:11.540 answering the
00:49:12.160 question,
00:49:12.980 hey, is this
00:49:13.580 great replacement
00:49:14.280 thing sort of a
00:49:15.080 Nazi thing?
00:49:16.300 He would
00:49:16.620 obliterate whoever 0.59
00:49:18.320 asked him that
00:49:18.940 question.
00:49:20.100 Like that would
00:49:20.540 be another
00:49:21.140 moment that he
00:49:22.060 would sparkle
00:49:23.380 because you
00:49:24.720 should be able
00:49:25.340 to obliterate
00:49:26.080 that dumbass
00:49:26.960 question.
00:49:28.080 He could do
00:49:28.580 it.
00:49:29.760 All right.
00:49:32.120 And then he
00:49:33.180 went after
00:49:33.660 Nikki Haley for
00:49:34.540 saying that when
00:49:35.680 he had
00:49:35.920 criticized her
00:49:36.680 prior debate,
00:49:38.780 Nikki Haley
00:49:39.220 suggested that
00:49:40.500 maybe he had
00:49:40.960 a, quote,
00:49:41.440 woman problem. 1.00
00:49:42.920 Maybe he had
00:49:43.480 a woman problem. 1.00
00:49:45.580 Well, that's
00:49:46.000 not quite a
00:49:46.880 nice thing to
00:49:47.460 say for one
00:49:48.280 Republican to
00:49:49.040 another.
00:49:50.260 Because aren't
00:49:50.600 the Republicans
00:49:51.160 the ones who
00:49:51.780 are supposed to
00:49:52.420 sort of not
00:49:53.520 talk like that
00:49:54.280 and not act
00:49:56.080 like it's some
00:49:56.540 kind of weird
00:49:57.160 woke DEI
00:49:59.000 thing?
00:49:59.640 That's kind of
00:50:00.220 the opposite of
00:50:00.840 being a
00:50:01.140 Republican at
00:50:03.040 the moment.
00:50:03.460 So Vivek
00:50:05.340 answers by
00:50:06.060 saying, I
00:50:06.620 don't have a
00:50:06.980 woman problem. 1.00
00:50:08.340 Nikki Haley
00:50:08.680 has a corruption
00:50:09.340 problem.
00:50:10.180 And then he
00:50:10.820 held up his
00:50:11.440 notes and on
00:50:12.880 one page he
00:50:13.580 had written
00:50:14.040 Nikki equals 1.00
00:50:16.700 corrupt.
00:50:18.320 Did you see
00:50:19.080 that moment when
00:50:19.940 he held it up
00:50:20.860 and showed that
00:50:21.680 was all that
00:50:22.220 was on his
00:50:22.660 page?
00:50:24.000 It was visual.
00:50:25.740 It made the 0.94
00:50:26.620 news.
00:50:27.920 And you'll
00:50:28.560 remember it
00:50:29.100 forever.
00:50:30.920 Perfect.
00:50:31.360 Then he
00:50:36.000 said that
00:50:37.460 Nikki Haley,
00:50:38.340 this is a
00:50:38.700 woman who 0.99
00:50:38.940 will send
00:50:39.220 your kids
00:50:39.600 to die so
00:50:40.320 she can buy
00:50:40.800 a bigger
00:50:41.100 house.
00:50:42.040 Talking about
00:50:42.800 her preferences
00:50:43.900 for more
00:50:44.600 war-like
00:50:45.320 policies.
00:50:47.520 This is a
00:50:48.300 woman who 0.99
00:50:48.860 will send
00:50:49.260 your kids
00:50:49.780 to die so
00:50:50.580 she can buy
00:50:51.180 a bigger
00:50:51.540 house.
00:50:53.600 You could
00:50:54.540 write a
00:50:56.600 doctoral
00:50:57.060 thesis on
00:50:57.800 that one
00:50:58.200 sentence.
00:50:59.300 It's so
00:50:59.920 perfect.
00:51:00.360 Perfect.
00:51:01.360 Persuasion
00:51:01.940 perfection.
00:51:03.840 Because I
00:51:04.780 always tell
00:51:05.180 you that
00:51:05.640 fear is
00:51:06.640 the best
00:51:06.980 persuasion.
00:51:07.860 Fear is
00:51:08.460 the best
00:51:08.720 persuasion.
00:51:09.680 What is
00:51:10.020 more scary
00:51:10.580 than sending
00:51:11.120 your kid
00:51:11.620 to die?
00:51:13.020 That's
00:51:13.500 pretty scary.
00:51:15.120 And what
00:51:15.420 is more
00:51:15.740 visual than
00:51:17.220 sending
00:51:17.540 to die so
00:51:18.300 you can
00:51:18.540 buy a
00:51:18.840 bigger
00:51:19.020 house?
00:51:20.580 So you
00:51:21.120 got the
00:51:21.400 bigger
00:51:21.600 house,
00:51:22.040 you got
00:51:22.260 your visual,
00:51:22.920 you got
00:51:23.160 your son
00:51:23.560 dying,
00:51:24.420 that's also
00:51:24.960 visual,
00:51:25.900 but it's
00:51:26.440 also fear.
00:51:27.820 One
00:51:28.100 sentence.
00:51:28.580 Do you
00:51:31.560 understand how
00:51:32.260 good he
00:51:32.700 is at
00:51:33.020 this?
00:51:35.420 This is a
00:51:36.560 skill level
00:51:37.100 that I don't
00:51:38.060 think we've
00:51:38.480 ever seen
00:51:38.940 it before,
00:51:39.520 honestly.
00:51:40.740 I'm not
00:51:41.340 aware of
00:51:41.820 ever seeing
00:51:42.520 anybody who
00:51:43.040 operated at
00:51:43.680 this level,
00:51:44.360 including
00:51:44.780 Trump.
00:51:45.140 Trump is
00:51:46.540 a singular
00:51:47.260 character.
00:51:48.500 I always
00:51:48.860 resist comparing
00:51:49.860 him to
00:51:50.220 anything,
00:51:51.040 because his
00:51:51.460 own method
00:51:51.980 just can't
00:51:52.480 be duplicated.
00:51:53.620 You can't
00:51:54.180 take his
00:51:54.520 method.
00:51:55.480 He just
00:51:55.780 sort of
00:51:56.060 operates in
00:51:56.600 his own
00:51:57.180 zip code,
00:51:59.280 and he
00:51:59.600 is just
00:52:00.020 Trump is
00:52:00.420 Trump.
00:52:01.420 In fact,
00:52:01.860 that's all I
00:52:02.300 say about
00:52:02.720 him now.
00:52:03.720 Trump is
00:52:04.160 Trump.
00:52:05.420 That's the
00:52:06.040 good news
00:52:06.600 and the
00:52:06.980 bad news.
00:52:08.160 Trump is
00:52:08.720 Trump.
00:52:10.100 Why is he
00:52:11.100 leading right
00:52:11.660 now in the
00:52:12.180 polls?
00:52:13.880 Because
00:52:14.100 Trump is
00:52:14.520 Trump.
00:52:15.780 It explains
00:52:16.640 a lot.
00:52:17.980 Nobody
00:52:18.340 else is
00:52:19.180 him.
00:52:20.100 If anybody
00:52:20.620 else could
00:52:21.040 be him,
00:52:21.440 they might
00:52:21.720 be leading
00:52:22.080 in the
00:52:22.320 polls,
00:52:22.640 too.
00:52:22.800 But
00:52:22.920 Trump is
00:52:23.320 Trump.
00:52:24.060 There's
00:52:24.300 only one.
00:52:25.340 There will
00:52:25.680 never be
00:52:26.140 another one.
00:52:27.340 If you
00:52:27.640 like that,
00:52:28.400 there's
00:52:28.740 nobody else
00:52:29.180 to vote
00:52:29.500 for.
00:52:31.680 All
00:52:32.120 right.
00:52:33.160 So that
00:52:34.060 was pretty
00:52:34.460 artistic
00:52:35.040 from the
00:52:35.940 makes.
00:52:37.520 She
00:52:37.960 called
00:52:38.200 her,
00:52:38.960 she says
00:52:39.660 she's
00:52:40.460 the donors,
00:52:42.040 she has
00:52:42.520 donor puppet
00:52:43.220 masters.
00:52:44.280 I like
00:52:44.580 puppet master
00:52:45.200 too,
00:52:46.020 because you
00:52:46.320 can see
00:52:46.600 the puppet
00:52:47.000 strings.
00:52:48.440 Visual,
00:52:49.160 visual,
00:52:49.660 visual,
00:52:50.140 just so
00:52:50.820 good on
00:52:51.340 the visual
00:52:51.700 stuff.
00:52:53.120 And then
00:52:53.400 he says
00:52:53.800 directly that
00:52:54.540 he rejects
00:52:55.160 identity
00:52:55.580 politics.
00:52:56.740 He says
00:52:57.040 two
00:52:57.340 chromosomes,
00:52:58.080 two X
00:52:58.380 chromosomes
00:52:58.920 does not
00:53:00.560 immunize
00:53:01.200 you from
00:53:01.620 criticism.
00:53:03.180 Oh,
00:53:03.480 thank you.
00:53:05.660 Yeah.
00:53:06.660 Vivek
00:53:07.260 slamming 0.87
00:53:08.740 Nikki Haley
00:53:09.300 for being
00:53:10.040 too woke.
00:53:12.600 That is
00:53:13.440 the show
00:53:13.880 I wanted
00:53:14.320 to watch.
00:53:15.760 That one
00:53:16.480 speaks to
00:53:17.140 every part
00:53:17.840 of my body.
00:53:19.440 I can
00:53:20.120 feel that.
00:53:22.260 Right.
00:53:22.560 There are a lot
00:53:22.980 of things that
00:53:23.380 you say,
00:53:23.700 oh, that's a
00:53:24.220 good intellectual
00:53:24.940 point, or
00:53:25.640 I like that
00:53:26.600 policy.
00:53:27.620 That's a good
00:53:28.060 policy.
00:53:29.180 When he said
00:53:30.000 two X
00:53:30.500 chromosomes
00:53:31.080 do not
00:53:32.020 immunize, 0.68
00:53:32.780 it doesn't
00:53:33.240 immunize you 0.70
00:53:33.900 from criticism.
00:53:35.440 He rejects
00:53:36.060 identity
00:53:36.460 politics.
00:53:37.840 I can
00:53:38.160 feel it.
00:53:40.360 In my
00:53:41.000 body, I
00:53:41.580 can feel
00:53:41.960 that.
00:53:42.960 That's a
00:53:43.300 whole different
00:53:43.640 level.
00:53:44.800 Yeah.
00:53:46.480 So there's
00:53:47.280 some
00:53:47.520 controversy
00:53:48.540 about, I
00:53:49.000 guess, the
00:53:49.340 rumble
00:53:49.780 feed that
00:53:50.440 was covering
00:53:50.900 the debate.
00:53:53.240 I guess it
00:53:53.720 glitched out
00:53:54.320 when somebody,
00:53:55.960 maybe Megyn 0.69
00:53:56.480 Kelly asked
00:53:57.040 about the
00:53:57.620 warp speed,
00:53:59.300 getting the
00:54:00.520 vaccinations
00:54:01.020 fast with
00:54:01.780 Trump.
00:54:02.840 And so
00:54:03.180 people are
00:54:03.580 saying, oh,
00:54:04.020 that's a
00:54:04.400 coincidence that
00:54:05.320 it cut out
00:54:05.940 just on that
00:54:06.540 question.
00:54:07.120 But it
00:54:07.340 wasn't a
00:54:08.180 coincidence.
00:54:08.680 It was just
00:54:09.000 a technical
00:54:09.520 problem.
00:54:10.600 It is very
00:54:11.280 unlikely that
00:54:12.080 rumble would
00:54:14.020 cut out on a
00:54:15.040 Republican
00:54:15.560 debate.
00:54:17.320 Let me say
00:54:17.780 that again.
00:54:18.920 There's not
00:54:19.380 really any
00:54:20.180 chance that
00:54:21.700 rumble
00:54:22.140 intentionally cut
00:54:23.220 a feed at
00:54:24.420 any point
00:54:25.120 during a
00:54:26.200 Republican
00:54:26.700 debate.
00:54:27.840 That is not
00:54:28.860 a possibility.
00:54:30.720 There's no
00:54:31.440 real-world
00:54:32.220 possibility that
00:54:33.260 happened at
00:54:34.120 all.
00:54:36.880 All right.
00:54:37.620 What else?
00:54:39.680 So the
00:54:40.120 rock, notice
00:54:41.360 I didn't
00:54:41.720 mention
00:54:42.040 DeSantis.
00:54:44.000 I feel like
00:54:44.980 DeSantis is
00:54:45.800 just running
00:54:47.620 out the
00:54:48.000 clock,
00:54:49.840 you know,
00:54:50.000 sort of waiting
00:54:50.660 around to see
00:54:51.400 if anything
00:54:51.800 happens with
00:54:52.400 Trump,
00:54:53.320 but not
00:54:53.740 really trying
00:54:54.320 too hard to
00:54:54.820 win at this
00:54:55.440 point.
00:54:56.860 I think he's
00:54:57.560 just trying to
00:54:58.040 do an honest
00:54:58.860 attempt because
00:54:59.640 he has backers
00:55:00.460 and they want
00:55:00.880 to do it.
00:55:01.460 It just looks
00:55:02.300 like, I mean,
00:55:03.280 he did not
00:55:03.680 seem engaged.
00:55:06.160 He just did
00:55:07.260 his good
00:55:07.720 DeSantis job.
00:55:09.740 And by the
00:55:10.140 way, I have
00:55:11.220 the funniest
00:55:11.780 or unusual
00:55:13.760 take on
00:55:14.540 DeSantis.
00:55:16.340 DeSantis is
00:55:17.140 the best
00:55:17.720 politician that
00:55:19.780 doesn't interest
00:55:20.480 me.
00:55:21.400 So it's
00:55:23.700 like a
00:55:24.980 compliment.
00:55:26.540 Actually, that's
00:55:27.300 just a complete
00:55:28.060 compliment.
00:55:29.040 You know why
00:55:29.420 he doesn't
00:55:29.800 interest me?
00:55:30.900 Because he
00:55:31.500 doesn't do
00:55:31.920 crazy shit
00:55:32.580 every day.
00:55:34.000 There's no
00:55:34.380 crazy shit.
00:55:35.680 He just
00:55:36.060 sort of does
00:55:36.940 good things
00:55:37.980 that his base
00:55:38.500 wants him to
00:55:39.000 do.
00:55:39.800 He's a
00:55:40.260 great politician
00:55:40.960 in terms of
00:55:42.440 execution.
00:55:43.980 But for
00:55:44.780 the presidency,
00:55:46.400 if you're
00:55:46.800 running against
00:55:47.380 a Trump,
00:55:48.360 you're running
00:55:49.040 against a
00:55:49.520 superstar.
00:55:50.020 He doesn't
00:55:51.460 have superstar
00:55:52.180 energy to
00:55:53.900 level up to
00:55:54.800 the Taylor
00:55:55.760 Swift of
00:55:56.480 politicians.
00:55:58.940 So it's
00:56:00.200 terribly unfair.
00:56:01.900 And if
00:56:02.160 DeSantis comes
00:56:02.960 back around in
00:56:03.940 some subsequent
00:56:04.700 year and runs
00:56:05.420 for president,
00:56:06.960 I can say
00:56:07.700 supporting him.
00:56:09.800 He's a
00:56:10.680 solid,
00:56:11.240 solid,
00:56:12.520 patriotic,
00:56:15.420 good servant
00:56:16.480 to the
00:56:16.820 people,
00:56:17.180 I think.
00:56:19.640 So the
00:56:20.320 Rock,
00:56:21.180 Dwayne,
00:56:21.840 the Rock
00:56:22.200 Johnson,
00:56:23.460 did some
00:56:24.160 mysterious
00:56:24.620 meeting with
00:56:25.380 the military
00:56:25.980 folks at
00:56:26.800 the Pentagon
00:56:27.240 after not
00:56:30.560 long ago
00:56:31.100 saying that
00:56:31.740 the parties
00:56:33.120 wanted him to
00:56:33.800 run for
00:56:34.120 president.
00:56:34.820 The parties.
00:56:35.800 I love the
00:56:36.240 way he says
00:56:36.660 it, making
00:56:37.460 it seem like
00:56:38.000 even the
00:56:38.940 Democrats and
00:56:39.660 even the
00:56:40.100 Republicans,
00:56:40.760 both sides.
00:56:41.800 It's the
00:56:42.340 parties.
00:56:43.540 Oh, don't
00:56:44.160 ask me which
00:56:44.920 side.
00:56:45.400 I mean,
00:56:45.620 they all
00:56:46.080 want me.
00:56:47.400 So he's
00:56:47.920 very smart
00:56:48.560 to not
00:56:50.140 kill the
00:56:50.660 rumor,
00:56:51.620 because the
00:56:52.020 longer the
00:56:52.460 rumor goes,
00:56:53.340 the more
00:56:53.660 fun it is
00:56:54.200 for him and
00:56:54.760 the more
00:56:55.260 free attention
00:56:55.920 he gets.
00:56:56.620 So he's
00:56:56.960 smart to
00:56:57.320 keep it
00:56:57.560 going.
00:56:58.500 But I
00:56:59.180 would say
00:56:59.600 it's unlikely
00:57:00.380 that he was
00:57:01.040 talking to
00:57:01.520 the Pentagon
00:57:02.040 to line up
00:57:03.740 his support
00:57:04.320 for running
00:57:04.780 for president
00:57:05.340 or to do
00:57:06.080 his research
00:57:06.740 before he ran
00:57:07.360 for president
00:57:07.900 or any of
00:57:08.540 that.
00:57:09.380 The most
00:57:10.160 likely scenario
00:57:11.060 is that he
00:57:12.140 has some
00:57:12.540 business with
00:57:13.220 the Pentagon.
00:57:14.920 Could be
00:57:15.360 he's doing
00:57:15.880 a movie,
00:57:17.080 might want
00:57:17.580 some support
00:57:18.280 from the
00:57:19.260 military.
00:57:20.220 Could be
00:57:20.820 the military
00:57:21.940 wants him
00:57:22.620 to be sort
00:57:23.580 of an
00:57:23.820 ambassador
00:57:24.260 to improve
00:57:25.980 recruitment.
00:57:26.800 He's got to
00:57:27.280 be perfect
00:57:27.740 for that.
00:57:28.980 So I
00:57:29.700 doubt that
00:57:30.380 it's because
00:57:30.960 he's running
00:57:31.420 for president.
00:57:32.420 But it's
00:57:32.740 fun.
00:57:33.660 It's fun
00:57:34.280 to think
00:57:34.620 about it.
00:57:36.300 Speaking
00:57:36.820 of fun,
00:57:38.880 Axios is
00:57:39.540 reporting that
00:57:40.160 Melania
00:57:40.720 thinks Tucker
00:57:42.420 Carlson would
00:57:43.140 be a great
00:57:43.600 VP for
00:57:44.520 Trump.
00:57:47.020 Because he's
00:57:47.780 sort of the
00:57:49.680 more articulate
00:57:50.600 version of
00:57:52.660 Trump with
00:57:53.360 very similar
00:57:54.120 attitudes about
00:57:55.440 things.
00:57:56.280 Now, I don't
00:57:57.000 think it's
00:57:57.520 going to be
00:57:57.900 Tucker,
00:57:58.920 because I
00:57:59.420 don't think
00:57:59.880 Tucker would
00:58:00.800 be reckless
00:58:03.840 enough to
00:58:04.360 take the
00:58:04.720 job.
00:58:05.060 It seems
00:58:08.040 like Tucker's
00:58:08.900 in sort
00:58:09.260 of an
00:58:09.520 ideal place
00:58:11.240 for his
00:58:11.700 media life,
00:58:12.620 and unless
00:58:13.000 he's looking
00:58:13.420 for a
00:58:14.040 radical change
00:58:14.820 to that,
00:58:15.900 which would
00:58:16.380 surprise me,
00:58:17.560 I don't
00:58:17.860 think he's
00:58:18.420 going to
00:58:18.620 even consider
00:58:19.220 it.
00:58:19.760 But it's
00:58:21.380 a lot of
00:58:21.780 fun,
00:58:22.080 isn't it?
00:58:23.900 A lot of
00:58:24.640 fun.
00:58:25.440 I tell
00:58:26.060 myself,
00:58:27.400 okay,
00:58:28.380 just game
00:58:29.120 that out
00:58:29.480 in your
00:58:29.720 mind.
00:58:30.740 Question
00:58:31.160 number one,
00:58:32.520 would Trump
00:58:33.300 do better
00:58:33.960 in the
00:58:34.240 election if
00:58:35.180 Tucker is
00:58:36.060 his vice
00:58:36.860 president?
00:58:37.780 Go.
00:58:38.560 Would Trump
00:58:40.020 do better
00:58:40.560 in the
00:58:40.880 election?
00:58:43.620 Almost
00:58:44.220 all no's.
00:58:45.840 Wow.
00:58:47.360 About 80%
00:58:48.180 no's on
00:58:48.860 locals.
00:58:50.020 What do
00:58:50.220 you think,
00:58:50.540 YouTube?
00:58:51.660 Oh, YouTube
00:58:52.180 is more
00:58:52.840 yeses.
00:58:54.020 Well, also
00:58:54.600 lots of no's.
00:58:56.020 I should have
00:58:56.380 waited.
00:58:57.260 All right,
00:58:57.460 more no's
00:58:57.940 than yeses.
00:58:58.760 So a lot
00:58:59.740 of you don't
00:59:00.300 think he
00:59:00.860 would change
00:59:01.800 the outcome.
00:59:03.300 here's why
00:59:05.560 Tucker would
00:59:06.600 be a
00:59:06.880 positive.
00:59:08.200 Tucker is
00:59:08.900 one of
00:59:10.780 the,
00:59:11.620 I'd say,
00:59:13.960 top five
00:59:15.140 best
00:59:15.500 communicators
00:59:16.440 in all
00:59:17.100 of politics.
00:59:18.400 Would you
00:59:19.040 agree with
00:59:19.440 that?
00:59:20.120 He's a
00:59:20.580 top five
00:59:21.420 best
00:59:22.360 communicator
00:59:23.260 in all
00:59:23.700 of politics.
00:59:24.920 So therefore,
00:59:25.680 some would
00:59:26.760 say,
00:59:27.100 therefore,
00:59:27.680 he would
00:59:27.920 be a
00:59:28.340 good
00:59:28.540 vice
00:59:28.820 presidential
00:59:29.340 running
00:59:30.400 mate.
00:59:31.240 Here's
00:59:31.540 what I
00:59:31.800 say.
00:59:32.060 You get
00:59:32.900 all that
00:59:33.200 for free.
00:59:35.460 Tucker is
00:59:35.860 still going
00:59:36.160 to be
00:59:36.320 talking.
00:59:37.680 He's
00:59:37.840 still going
00:59:38.100 to have
00:59:38.240 a huge
00:59:38.640 platform,
00:59:39.840 no matter
00:59:40.840 what.
00:59:41.960 And you
00:59:42.320 know he's
00:59:42.660 going to
00:59:42.840 be supportive
00:59:43.440 of Trump
00:59:44.020 because he
00:59:44.500 said so
00:59:44.860 directly.
00:59:46.180 So Trump
00:59:47.420 can get
00:59:47.920 all the
00:59:48.440 benefit of
00:59:49.140 Tucker's
00:59:49.600 communication
00:59:50.340 excellence
00:59:51.300 without any
00:59:53.180 of the
00:59:53.520 reputational
00:59:54.160 harm of
00:59:55.220 saying,
00:59:55.540 oh,
00:59:56.020 10 years
00:59:56.480 ago,
00:59:56.860 Tucker
00:59:57.080 did a
00:59:57.500 thing.
00:59:58.560 Oh,
00:59:58.840 five years
00:59:59.360 ago,
00:59:59.840 Tucker
01:00:00.080 said this
01:00:00.540 thing that
01:00:01.020 could be
01:00:01.320 interpreted
01:00:01.720 two ways.
01:00:03.260 He could
01:00:03.720 just take
01:00:04.080 all the
01:00:04.380 good for
01:00:05.340 free with
01:00:06.640 none of
01:00:07.020 the pain.
01:00:09.360 Because if
01:00:10.040 he could
01:00:10.260 find a
01:00:10.680 VP who
01:00:11.400 didn't have
01:00:11.820 any of
01:00:12.120 the controversy
01:00:13.100 that Tucker
01:00:13.820 brings
01:00:14.200 naturally,
01:00:15.200 then he
01:00:16.200 can get
01:00:16.520 all of
01:00:16.860 Tucker's
01:00:17.220 goodness,
01:00:18.260 plus a
01:00:18.840 solid,
01:00:19.420 you know,
01:00:19.780 backup
01:00:20.160 candidate that
01:00:21.720 helps him
01:00:22.160 for his
01:00:22.520 age,
01:00:22.860 especially.
01:00:24.080 I think
01:00:24.580 Trump has
01:00:25.820 to go
01:00:26.100 young.
01:00:26.440 because the
01:00:28.720 age question
01:00:29.420 will be
01:00:30.000 salient if
01:00:31.000 he gets
01:00:31.260 elected.
01:00:32.660 And I
01:00:34.820 think
01:00:34.980 Vivek is
01:00:35.560 more obvious
01:00:36.660 choice,
01:00:37.180 but we'll
01:00:37.400 see.
01:00:41.580 The
01:00:42.180 competence
01:00:42.600 crisis is
01:00:43.520 real.
01:00:44.240 Apparently
01:00:44.560 there's this
01:00:45.100 case going
01:00:45.560 on to
01:00:46.180 see if
01:00:46.720 Trump
01:00:47.480 should be
01:00:48.000 denied
01:00:48.560 being on
01:00:49.220 the ballot
01:00:50.040 in some
01:00:50.480 states.
01:00:51.420 So
01:00:51.540 Colorado's
01:00:52.180 looking at
01:00:52.560 that.
01:00:53.580 And
01:00:53.980 Colorado
01:00:54.700 Supreme
01:00:55.120 Court
01:00:55.360 judge,
01:00:55.760 William
01:00:56.840 Hood
01:00:57.080 III,
01:00:58.520 said in
01:00:59.340 the process
01:01:00.540 of discussing
01:01:02.260 it and
01:01:04.000 judging it,
01:01:06.220 he said,
01:01:06.680 quote,
01:01:06.920 in some
01:01:07.260 ways,
01:01:07.620 January 6th
01:01:08.380 seems like
01:01:09.500 a poster
01:01:10.000 child for
01:01:10.660 insurrection.
01:01:11.400 In other
01:01:11.700 words,
01:01:12.020 indicating that
01:01:12.920 the judge
01:01:13.680 believes that
01:01:15.520 insurrection
01:01:16.080 is largely
01:01:17.000 obviously
01:01:17.660 proven.
01:01:19.780 Now,
01:01:20.400 is that
01:01:20.720 bad news?
01:01:22.400 If he
01:01:23.080 thinks that
01:01:23.600 the insurrection
01:01:24.260 is sort of
01:01:25.120 obvious?
01:01:27.300 Well,
01:01:27.860 it's bad
01:01:28.300 news for
01:01:28.660 this judge
01:01:29.340 because it
01:01:31.140 makes him
01:01:31.420 look like
01:01:31.780 an idiot. 0.91
01:01:33.720 How
01:01:34.200 exactly is
01:01:35.180 it obvious
01:01:35.800 that an
01:01:36.420 unarmed
01:01:37.040 trespass
01:01:38.100 is anything
01:01:39.320 more than
01:01:39.900 at best
01:01:40.740 delaying a
01:01:41.860 process for
01:01:42.560 a few
01:01:42.880 hours or
01:01:44.280 a few
01:01:44.500 days?
01:01:45.180 Maybe the
01:01:46.000 Supreme
01:01:46.280 Court has
01:01:46.740 to look
01:01:46.980 at it.
01:01:47.780 That's
01:01:48.020 it.
01:01:49.340 That was
01:01:49.920 the highest
01:01:50.380 level of
01:01:50.940 risk.
01:01:51.820 Short
01:01:52.240 delay.
01:01:52.620 Supreme
01:01:54.120 Court
01:01:54.400 looks at
01:01:54.820 it.
01:01:55.580 Rules.
01:01:57.580 How does
01:01:58.280 a judge
01:01:58.960 not
01:01:59.740 understand
01:02:00.380 that?
01:02:01.860 This is
01:02:02.520 an incompetence
01:02:03.220 problem,
01:02:03.660 isn't it?
01:02:04.800 Am I
01:02:05.100 wrong?
01:02:05.980 To me,
01:02:06.380 this looks
01:02:06.700 like basic
01:02:08.500 competence
01:02:09.140 that's just
01:02:10.100 missing.
01:02:11.640 We'll see.
01:02:12.220 now here's
01:02:17.740 what I
01:02:17.980 think about
01:02:18.560 Trump's
01:02:20.040 language
01:02:21.240 lately.
01:02:22.500 I think
01:02:23.440 Axios was
01:02:24.180 pointing this
01:02:24.640 out as
01:02:24.980 well.
01:02:25.680 He's used
01:02:26.780 language that
01:02:27.580 his critics
01:02:28.460 are saying,
01:02:29.740 hey,
01:02:30.000 that's very,
01:02:30.960 well,
01:02:31.180 it's not
01:02:31.460 Hitler-like, 0.91
01:02:32.780 but it's
01:02:33.360 Hitler-adjacent.
01:02:34.940 Well,
01:02:35.500 that's not
01:02:35.860 quite dictator
01:02:36.900 talk,
01:02:37.860 but you're
01:02:38.320 getting real
01:02:38.840 close.
01:02:40.340 Well,
01:02:40.760 that's not
01:02:41.660 exactly what
01:02:42.460 the Nazis 0.71
01:02:42.960 say,
01:02:43.880 but it
01:02:44.220 reminds me
01:02:44.880 of them.
01:02:46.460 So,
01:02:46.940 is he
01:02:47.320 doing the
01:02:47.940 dumbest
01:02:48.320 thing in
01:02:48.640 the world
01:02:49.060 by allowing
01:02:50.840 people to
01:02:51.460 frame him
01:02:52.140 as a
01:02:52.680 dictator?
01:02:53.560 It almost
01:02:54.560 looks like
01:02:55.020 he's doing
01:02:55.360 it intentionally,
01:02:56.560 especially
01:02:57.000 when he
01:02:57.420 said that
01:02:59.700 he would
01:03:00.040 only be a
01:03:00.620 dictator for
01:03:01.200 one day.
01:03:01.940 He said,
01:03:02.360 quote,
01:03:03.080 we're closing
01:03:03.820 the border
01:03:04.320 and we're
01:03:04.780 drilling,
01:03:05.200 drilling,
01:03:05.520 drilling.
01:03:05.960 After that,
01:03:07.060 I'm not a
01:03:07.800 dictator.
01:03:08.120 So,
01:03:09.380 just one
01:03:09.740 day.
01:03:10.980 I'll just
01:03:11.280 be a
01:03:11.500 dictator for
01:03:11.920 one day.
01:03:12.600 After that,
01:03:13.200 not a
01:03:13.580 dictator.
01:03:14.860 Now,
01:03:15.440 when I
01:03:16.620 first heard
01:03:17.180 it,
01:03:17.940 my first
01:03:18.720 reaction was,
01:03:19.720 oh,
01:03:20.300 why are you
01:03:21.480 doing this?
01:03:23.200 Like,
01:03:23.440 this is just
01:03:23.920 the worst
01:03:24.480 idea.
01:03:25.520 His biggest
01:03:26.100 problem is
01:03:27.560 that they're
01:03:27.840 going to call
01:03:28.260 him a
01:03:28.540 dictator.
01:03:29.340 He knows
01:03:30.000 that.
01:03:30.900 So,
01:03:31.240 why would
01:03:31.680 he use
01:03:32.180 language that
01:03:33.800 most of us
01:03:34.540 would recognize
01:03:35.360 would make
01:03:36.020 you be
01:03:37.620 labeled a
01:03:38.280 dictator?
01:03:39.300 Why would
01:03:39.660 he do
01:03:39.960 that?
01:03:41.280 Well,
01:03:41.960 I have a
01:03:42.820 hypothesis.
01:03:44.000 I don't know
01:03:44.480 that it's
01:03:44.800 true,
01:03:45.700 but it
01:03:45.980 goes like
01:03:46.460 this.
01:03:49.520 He might
01:03:50.240 be playing
01:03:50.700 what I
01:03:51.020 call the
01:03:51.420 narrow ravine
01:03:52.320 strategy.
01:03:53.580 Now,
01:03:53.820 this is
01:03:54.140 one I
01:03:54.460 have used
01:03:55.020 myself in
01:03:55.660 the past.
01:03:56.700 You might
01:03:57.080 recognize it
01:03:58.060 from some
01:03:58.540 of my
01:03:58.780 past.
01:03:59.780 The narrow
01:04:00.360 ravine means
01:04:01.660 you allow
01:04:02.180 your enemies
01:04:02.860 to bunch
01:04:04.220 up in a
01:04:05.620 place where
01:04:06.120 it's really
01:04:06.760 easy to
01:04:07.320 shoot down
01:04:08.100 and kill 0.83
01:04:08.460 them.
01:04:09.500 Basically,
01:04:10.200 you're herding
01:04:10.760 them into
01:04:11.140 the most
01:04:11.480 vulnerable
01:04:11.880 place for
01:04:12.420 them while
01:04:13.680 they believe
01:04:14.540 they're winning.
01:04:16.180 So,
01:04:16.420 the thing that
01:04:16.860 gets them
01:04:17.160 into the
01:04:17.540 narrow ravine
01:04:18.200 in the first
01:04:18.700 place is
01:04:19.600 they say,
01:04:19.940 ha-ha,
01:04:20.760 we've got
01:04:21.240 you trapped.
01:04:22.320 You're going
01:04:22.640 to be trapped
01:04:23.120 in the
01:04:23.460 narrow ravine.
01:04:24.940 And then they
01:04:25.600 chase you down
01:04:26.120 the narrow
01:04:26.540 ravine,
01:04:27.120 but you've
01:04:27.640 got all your
01:04:28.060 people on
01:04:28.540 the top,
01:04:29.480 and they
01:04:29.780 shoot down
01:04:30.240 into the
01:04:30.640 narrow ravine
01:04:31.200 and kill 0.83
01:04:31.500 them.
01:04:31.660 So,
01:04:31.800 it's basically
01:04:32.160 a trap.
01:04:33.060 The narrow
01:04:33.540 ravine
01:04:34.040 trap.
01:04:34.640 So,
01:04:36.460 we see him
01:04:37.180 saying things
01:04:37.820 which are
01:04:38.180 making his
01:04:38.900 critics say,
01:04:40.200 oh,
01:04:41.000 salivate,
01:04:41.580 salivate.
01:04:42.560 He keeps
01:04:43.140 saying things
01:04:43.800 that's going
01:04:44.160 to make it
01:04:44.540 easy for us,
01:04:45.980 easy for us,
01:04:48.420 to take him
01:04:49.960 out by
01:04:50.460 labeling him
01:04:51.220 a dictator.
01:04:52.420 And so,
01:04:53.240 they're like,
01:04:53.620 all right,
01:04:54.240 we've got our
01:04:54.780 plan.
01:04:55.640 Everybody,
01:04:56.200 everybody,
01:04:56.960 here's our
01:04:57.340 plan.
01:04:58.000 We're going
01:04:58.320 to go full
01:04:58.860 dictator on
01:04:59.520 Trump.
01:05:00.200 He's making
01:05:00.620 it easy.
01:05:01.480 He keeps
01:05:01.820 saying all
01:05:02.200 these dictator
01:05:02.780 things.
01:05:03.240 And he
01:05:04.520 is.
01:05:07.240 What's
01:05:07.640 another reason
01:05:09.000 he might
01:05:09.360 be doing
01:05:09.740 it?
01:05:10.640 Well,
01:05:11.320 I think he
01:05:12.300 may have
01:05:12.600 given you
01:05:13.040 a little
01:05:13.360 wink and
01:05:13.820 a nod
01:05:14.300 when he
01:05:15.060 said he
01:05:15.380 would be
01:05:15.660 a dictator
01:05:16.120 for one
01:05:16.640 day just
01:05:17.560 to get
01:05:17.800 a couple
01:05:18.120 of things
01:05:18.460 done.
01:05:21.700 And here's
01:05:22.380 what I think
01:05:22.820 he's telling
01:05:23.260 you.
01:05:24.320 He's going
01:05:24.860 to milk
01:05:25.220 it.
01:05:26.420 Because
01:05:26.860 there's
01:05:27.180 nothing
01:05:27.520 easier in
01:05:29.460 theory.
01:05:30.140 This doesn't
01:05:30.680 mean he'll
01:05:31.020 do it.
01:05:32.140 But in
01:05:32.600 theory there
01:05:33.340 would be
01:05:33.660 nothing
01:05:34.020 easier to
01:05:34.800 persuade
01:05:35.260 than to
01:05:36.480 persuade
01:05:36.840 people that
01:05:37.440 he wasn't
01:05:37.900 a dictator.
01:05:39.380 It could
01:05:39.940 be the
01:05:40.220 easiest thing.
01:05:41.260 And the
01:05:41.440 way you
01:05:41.720 would do
01:05:42.000 it is
01:05:42.500 by mocking
01:05:43.140 it.
01:05:44.320 You just
01:05:44.640 make a joke
01:05:45.260 out of it.
01:05:46.620 Did he
01:05:47.160 make a joke
01:05:47.780 out of it
01:05:48.200 when he
01:05:48.440 said,
01:05:48.780 oh,
01:05:49.080 I might
01:05:49.380 be a
01:05:49.620 dictator
01:05:49.860 for one
01:05:50.340 day,
01:05:50.960 just one
01:05:51.380 day?
01:05:52.580 Yes.
01:05:53.940 Yes,
01:05:54.420 he did.
01:05:55.180 That was
01:05:55.860 literally
01:05:56.480 making light
01:05:57.880 of it.
01:05:58.800 He never
01:05:59.300 gave it
01:05:59.740 weight.
01:06:00.100 If he
01:06:01.140 had said
01:06:01.540 dictator,
01:06:02.900 why,
01:06:03.740 I'm in
01:06:04.240 favor of
01:06:04.700 free speech
01:06:05.340 and you
01:06:06.300 guys are
01:06:06.680 against free
01:06:07.200 speech and
01:06:07.680 here are my
01:06:08.120 three other
01:06:08.720 reasons why
01:06:10.140 I'm not a
01:06:10.700 dictator,
01:06:11.480 and what
01:06:11.860 would the
01:06:12.200 audience hear?
01:06:13.660 Dictator,
01:06:14.320 dictator,
01:06:14.940 dictator.
01:06:15.620 Well,
01:06:15.760 you're very
01:06:16.160 defensive,
01:06:16.780 aren't you?
01:06:18.160 You seem
01:06:19.020 very defensive
01:06:19.880 about this
01:06:20.620 dictator thing.
01:06:21.360 Why are you
01:06:21.800 so defensive?
01:06:23.220 Why does
01:06:23.920 this attack
01:06:24.480 really get
01:06:25.260 under your
01:06:25.680 skin?
01:06:26.700 Why are you
01:06:27.720 melting down
01:06:28.560 over this?
01:06:29.600 It must
01:06:29.900 be true
01:06:30.520 because the
01:06:31.200 way you're
01:06:31.480 reacting to
01:06:32.060 it,
01:06:32.920 right?
01:06:33.860 That would
01:06:34.500 be the
01:06:34.760 mistake.
01:06:35.640 It's also
01:06:36.060 the way a
01:06:36.780 classic
01:06:37.240 politician
01:06:37.780 would respond.
01:06:39.320 I'm no
01:06:39.740 dictator.
01:06:40.800 The other
01:06:41.180 side might
01:06:41.760 be acting
01:06:42.160 more like
01:06:42.620 dictators
01:06:43.060 than me.
01:06:44.400 Let me
01:06:44.660 give you
01:06:44.940 these laundry
01:06:46.040 list of
01:06:46.480 reasons.
01:06:47.680 It doesn't
01:06:48.040 work at
01:06:48.360 all.
01:06:49.640 But what
01:06:50.000 are they
01:06:50.220 reporting
01:06:50.640 about it?
01:06:52.460 Axios
01:06:53.020 literally
01:06:53.660 reported
01:06:54.240 it was a
01:06:56.240 wink and
01:06:56.640 a nod.
01:06:58.560 the news
01:07:00.860 actually
01:07:01.220 picked up
01:07:01.920 that it
01:07:03.220 was a
01:07:03.980 wink and
01:07:04.380 a nod.
01:07:05.420 Now,
01:07:05.780 a wink and
01:07:06.100 a nod
01:07:06.520 is not
01:07:07.160 mockery,
01:07:08.300 but it's
01:07:09.400 a signal
01:07:10.000 that it's
01:07:11.780 coming.
01:07:13.520 Oh,
01:07:14.220 it's
01:07:14.460 coming.
01:07:15.880 I think
01:07:16.480 that he's
01:07:16.940 playing the
01:07:17.700 narrow ravine
01:07:19.240 followed by
01:07:20.720 the mockery
01:07:21.380 cannons.
01:07:22.480 I think
01:07:23.220 the mockery
01:07:23.880 cannons are
01:07:25.060 just on
01:07:27.200 hold. 0.96
01:07:27.560 and once
01:07:28.920 he gets
01:07:29.300 the Democrats
01:07:30.060 to fully
01:07:30.740 commit,
01:07:31.880 and it
01:07:32.060 might even
01:07:32.360 be months
01:07:32.860 from now,
01:07:33.660 I mean,
01:07:33.860 it could be
01:07:34.220 next summer,
01:07:35.220 just let
01:07:35.700 them just
01:07:36.040 call him a
01:07:36.600 dictator while
01:07:37.360 he's leading
01:07:37.820 in the polls.
01:07:38.860 Because as
01:07:39.220 long as he's
01:07:39.700 leading the
01:07:40.160 polls,
01:07:40.500 everything's
01:07:40.860 good.
01:07:42.540 Gets his
01:07:43.160 nomination over
01:07:43.860 the summer
01:07:44.260 and then
01:07:45.280 goes full
01:07:46.060 mockery
01:07:46.680 cannons on
01:07:47.640 the only
01:07:48.040 thing that
01:07:48.480 they've
01:07:48.720 accused him
01:07:49.260 for for
01:07:50.080 a year.
01:07:50.820 And they're
01:07:51.420 going to
01:07:51.600 say,
01:07:51.900 shit,
01:07:52.180 shit,
01:07:52.400 shit,
01:07:52.540 it's not
01:07:52.860 working.
01:07:53.600 And they're
01:07:53.900 going to
01:07:54.020 have to come
01:07:54.380 up with
01:07:54.680 something new
01:07:55.220 at the
01:07:55.520 last
01:07:55.740 minute,
01:07:56.420 which is
01:07:57.100 always a
01:07:57.940 tough,
01:07:58.280 tough thing.
01:07:59.820 So I
01:08:00.720 think he's
01:08:02.060 leading them
01:08:02.540 into the
01:08:02.900 narrow ravine
01:08:03.660 on this
01:08:04.080 dictator
01:08:04.480 thing.
01:08:05.260 Because
01:08:05.780 objectively
01:08:07.120 speaking,
01:08:08.520 if he
01:08:08.980 eventually
01:08:10.040 mocks it,
01:08:11.420 and then
01:08:11.740 people start
01:08:12.280 looking at
01:08:12.860 the opposite
01:08:13.940 evidence that
01:08:15.140 maybe it's
01:08:15.520 the Democrats
01:08:16.120 who are the
01:08:16.640 power-hungry
01:08:18.260 people,
01:08:19.740 to me,
01:08:21.340 it's looking
01:08:22.300 like it might
01:08:22.900 be a really
01:08:23.380 strong play.
01:08:24.120 But there's
01:08:25.740 a lot of
01:08:26.100 assumptions I
01:08:26.740 make.
01:08:27.560 My first
01:08:28.060 assumption is
01:08:28.780 that he's
01:08:29.180 fully aware
01:08:29.960 of what he's
01:08:31.900 doing and
01:08:32.600 that it's a
01:08:33.080 narrow ravine
01:08:33.700 play.
01:08:34.660 I think the
01:08:35.420 wink and
01:08:36.140 the nod
01:08:36.660 about dictator
01:08:37.740 for a day
01:08:38.340 does tell you
01:08:40.460 that he's not
01:08:40.980 going to take
01:08:41.360 it seriously
01:08:41.960 and that he's
01:08:43.680 going to keep
01:08:44.080 it in that
01:08:44.460 frame.
01:08:45.100 And if he
01:08:45.440 keeps pushing
01:08:45.960 that frame,
01:08:47.280 it's going
01:08:47.640 to be
01:08:47.840 glorious.
01:08:49.200 It's going
01:08:49.520 to be
01:08:49.720 glorious.
01:08:52.060 All
01:08:52.280 right.
01:08:54.120 Meanwhile,
01:08:55.080 I guess
01:08:55.660 there are
01:08:56.040 more voting
01:08:57.440 machine company
01:08:58.460 lawsuits against,
01:09:00.160 I guess Smartmatic
01:09:01.040 is going after
01:09:01.760 Mike Lindell
01:09:02.520 for his claims
01:09:03.780 about their
01:09:05.060 machines.
01:09:06.280 They're going
01:09:06.700 after Newsmax
01:09:07.780 and then Dominion
01:09:09.060 is also going
01:09:09.960 after Newsmax.
01:09:12.260 So all that
01:09:12.720 action might
01:09:13.220 happen over the
01:09:13.920 summer,
01:09:14.580 which would
01:09:15.860 potentially be
01:09:18.920 embarrassing,
01:09:19.620 I guess.
01:09:20.920 But the other
01:09:21.380 thing is
01:09:21.880 embarrassing for
01:09:23.000 Trump, I
01:09:23.400 suppose.
01:09:24.280 But the
01:09:24.840 other possibility
01:09:25.420 is that there
01:09:26.060 will be a lot
01:09:26.520 of discovery.
01:09:29.000 Why is it
01:09:29.860 that nobody's
01:09:32.200 required the
01:09:33.240 voting machine
01:09:34.080 companies to
01:09:34.900 show us
01:09:35.420 their code?
01:09:40.460 See, this
01:09:41.020 is the part
01:09:41.420 I don't
01:09:41.740 understand.
01:09:42.480 Maybe somebody
01:09:43.220 can explain
01:09:43.820 this if
01:09:44.320 somebody's a
01:09:44.820 lawyer.
01:09:45.680 If I'm a
01:09:46.480 lawyer and
01:09:47.060 I say,
01:09:47.740 if I've
01:09:48.500 made an
01:09:48.800 accusation
01:09:49.380 that your
01:09:50.040 voting
01:09:50.320 machine's
01:09:50.940 cheated,
01:09:51.860 and then
01:09:53.540 they sue
01:09:54.020 me because
01:09:55.800 there's no
01:09:56.220 evidence that
01:09:56.800 they cheated,
01:09:58.240 which is the
01:09:59.000 case.
01:10:00.020 No convincing
01:10:01.120 evidence that
01:10:01.780 I'm aware
01:10:02.120 of.
01:10:04.060 Doesn't
01:10:04.600 Mike Lindell
01:10:05.260 have every
01:10:05.820 right to
01:10:07.180 make them
01:10:07.760 show all
01:10:08.980 of their
01:10:09.520 proprietary
01:10:10.200 software?
01:10:12.040 And if
01:10:12.380 they don't
01:10:12.740 show their
01:10:13.240 proprietary
01:10:13.900 software,
01:10:15.180 doesn't he
01:10:15.660 win?
01:10:17.760 Because he
01:10:18.880 makes a
01:10:19.280 claim that
01:10:19.860 they can't
01:10:20.600 disprove,
01:10:21.240 without
01:10:22.120 showing their
01:10:22.740 software.
01:10:23.480 And they
01:10:23.680 can't do
01:10:24.020 that because
01:10:24.620 it's a
01:10:24.840 proprietary.
01:10:27.580 The worst
01:10:28.400 that they
01:10:28.740 can prove
01:10:29.360 is that he
01:10:30.200 hasn't proven
01:10:30.880 his claim.
01:10:32.460 But I
01:10:33.040 think in
01:10:33.460 order for
01:10:33.840 him to
01:10:34.060 be guilty,
01:10:35.040 they have
01:10:35.460 to sort
01:10:36.460 of prove
01:10:36.880 that it's
01:10:37.300 not true.
01:10:38.560 Do I have
01:10:38.900 that right?
01:10:40.480 That in
01:10:40.900 order to
01:10:41.320 prevail,
01:10:42.180 they have
01:10:42.520 to prove
01:10:43.160 that his
01:10:43.900 claim is
01:10:44.400 false.
01:10:45.220 How do
01:10:45.520 they do
01:10:45.840 that unless
01:10:46.320 they open
01:10:49.200 themselves up for
01:10:49.980 a full audit?
01:10:50.560 And that's
01:10:50.900 never going
01:10:51.240 to happen.
01:10:53.000 How do
01:10:53.600 they prove
01:10:54.040 that they
01:10:54.440 couldn't have
01:10:55.140 changed it
01:10:55.780 without being
01:10:56.780 detected?
01:10:58.240 Unless they
01:10:59.000 show every
01:10:59.640 part of their
01:11:00.080 system.
01:11:03.060 There's a
01:11:03.800 possibility that
01:11:05.280 these voting
01:11:05.820 machine companies
01:11:06.700 are being
01:11:08.880 encouraged by
01:11:09.680 the Democrats
01:11:10.220 to do what
01:11:10.980 they're doing
01:11:11.400 because it
01:11:12.920 looks bad
01:11:13.360 for Trump.
01:11:14.940 It's a
01:11:15.600 possibility that
01:11:17.240 the people
01:11:17.720 who least
01:11:18.640 want these
01:11:19.220 lawsuits are
01:11:21.080 Dominion and
01:11:22.400 Smartmatic.
01:11:23.920 They might
01:11:24.740 not want to
01:11:25.400 do this,
01:11:26.340 but they
01:11:26.540 might have
01:11:26.840 a lot of
01:11:27.160 pressure from
01:11:27.920 people who
01:11:28.860 make decisions
01:11:29.540 about what
01:11:30.080 voting machines
01:11:30.740 get put into
01:11:31.340 what areas.
01:11:33.120 In other
01:11:33.540 words,
01:11:33.840 their customers
01:11:34.520 might be
01:11:35.100 pushing the
01:11:36.000 customers,
01:11:36.580 meaning Democrats.
01:11:38.480 So here's
01:11:40.620 what I would
01:11:41.020 look for.
01:11:41.960 I would look
01:11:42.560 for the answer
01:11:43.100 to this
01:11:43.360 question.
01:11:44.640 Does this
01:11:45.220 open up the
01:11:46.140 machine companies
01:11:48.300 to greater
01:11:49.660 scrutiny than
01:11:50.740 they would
01:11:51.040 ever agree
01:11:51.540 to?
01:11:53.700 It's a big
01:11:54.420 question,
01:11:54.880 isn't it?
01:11:55.600 I don't know
01:11:56.160 the answer to
01:11:56.700 it, so I'm
01:11:57.040 looking for
01:11:57.600 actually maybe
01:11:59.060 some wisdom
01:11:59.720 here.
01:12:02.040 All right.
01:12:05.080 Now,
01:12:05.920 here's
01:12:06.340 interesting news.
01:12:07.260 Apparently the
01:12:07.740 Saudis and 0.92
01:12:08.480 France are
01:12:09.440 talking sort
01:12:10.660 of privately
01:12:11.140 about how to
01:12:12.500 figure out
01:12:13.000 what to do
01:12:13.380 with Gaza
01:12:13.900 after the
01:12:16.260 fighting stops.
01:12:18.240 Now, do
01:12:20.120 any of you
01:12:20.540 remember I
01:12:21.220 said the
01:12:21.780 best solution
01:12:22.360 might be to
01:12:22.900 get Saudi 1.00
01:12:23.440 Arabia involved
01:12:24.300 in the
01:12:25.080 end-state
01:12:25.880 solution?
01:12:27.760 And that
01:12:28.760 maybe it's
01:12:29.500 part of a
01:12:31.040 larger deal
01:12:31.720 to normalize
01:12:32.620 relations.
01:12:33.480 Did I say
01:12:33.920 that in
01:12:34.200 public?
01:12:35.020 Am I
01:12:35.360 imagining it?
01:12:38.060 I need a
01:12:38.760 fact check.
01:12:39.160 I did say
01:12:39.560 that in
01:12:39.820 public,
01:12:40.160 right?
01:12:40.840 And it
01:12:41.080 looks like
01:12:41.340 it's happening.
01:12:41.740 To me,
01:12:42.900 this was
01:12:43.260 the most
01:12:44.040 productive
01:12:45.520 possibility.
01:12:47.140 It doesn't
01:12:47.440 mean it
01:12:47.720 worked,
01:12:48.600 but the
01:12:48.780 most productive
01:12:49.480 possibility
01:12:50.380 is that
01:12:51.540 Saudi wants 0.96
01:12:52.440 to do a
01:12:52.900 deal,
01:12:53.340 presumably,
01:12:54.260 in which
01:12:54.680 they normalize
01:12:56.120 relationships with
01:12:57.080 Israel for
01:12:57.780 purely financial,
01:12:59.780 basic,
01:13:00.720 obvious reasons.
01:13:01.940 It's just in
01:13:02.840 Saudi's best
01:13:03.800 interest.
01:13:04.800 And I think
01:13:05.500 they have a
01:13:05.820 leader that
01:13:06.200 could get it
01:13:06.620 done.
01:13:06.800 So if
01:13:08.880 they're looking
01:13:09.300 to make
01:13:09.740 a breakthrough
01:13:10.220 in the
01:13:10.740 larger peace
01:13:12.160 for the
01:13:12.480 area,
01:13:12.980 which the
01:13:13.360 Saudis would 1.00
01:13:13.860 like,
01:13:14.800 don't you
01:13:15.400 think the
01:13:15.720 crown prince
01:13:16.420 would like
01:13:17.540 to elevate
01:13:18.260 his status
01:13:19.120 in the
01:13:19.500 region by
01:13:20.740 being a
01:13:21.120 peacemaker?
01:13:21.600 Can you
01:13:23.120 imagine
01:13:23.460 anything that
01:13:24.720 would be
01:13:25.000 better for
01:13:25.460 Saudi Arabia
01:13:26.180 and better
01:13:27.120 for the
01:13:27.900 crown prince
01:13:28.620 than to be
01:13:29.780 seen as
01:13:30.500 the person
01:13:31.660 who finally
01:13:32.460 pulled something
01:13:33.800 together that
01:13:34.480 worked?
01:13:34.820 There's
01:13:36.340 nothing.
01:13:37.380 There's
01:13:37.860 nothing that
01:13:38.620 would be
01:13:38.880 better for
01:13:39.260 Saudi Arabia.
01:13:40.300 Nothing.
01:13:41.640 In my
01:13:42.260 opinion.
01:13:42.980 But I'm
01:13:43.220 not very
01:13:43.580 good as
01:13:44.020 an expert
01:13:44.620 of the
01:13:44.920 Middle East.
01:13:45.520 But to
01:13:45.840 me it
01:13:46.080 looks like
01:13:47.180 it'd be
01:13:47.400 the best
01:13:47.740 thing.
01:13:48.760 So that
01:13:49.100 might be
01:13:49.400 productive.
01:13:49.920 We'll see.
01:13:50.480 But the
01:13:50.880 initial offer
01:13:52.240 looks like
01:13:52.680 a loser. 0.63
01:13:54.220 The rumor
01:13:54.980 is that what
01:13:55.740 the reported
01:13:56.900 plan would
01:13:57.560 be, or
01:13:58.080 at least
01:13:58.300 this is
01:13:58.800 maybe the
01:13:59.540 working
01:13:59.840 conversation
01:14:00.520 about what
01:14:00.980 it might
01:14:01.240 be,
01:14:02.140 is they
01:14:02.560 would strip
01:14:03.060 Gaza of
01:14:03.700 arms,
01:14:04.120 which I
01:14:08.020 don't know
01:14:08.260 if that's
01:14:08.520 even possible.
01:14:09.780 Do you
01:14:09.940 think you
01:14:10.280 could keep
01:14:10.780 heavy weapons
01:14:11.460 out of
01:14:11.760 Gaza even 0.68
01:14:12.400 no matter
01:14:12.920 how hard
01:14:13.380 you try?
01:14:14.440 I don't
01:14:15.040 know.
01:14:16.200 Maybe.
01:14:18.680 Set up
01:14:19.040 local
01:14:19.440 governance.
01:14:20.280 Well, what
01:14:20.580 is local
01:14:21.020 governance?
01:14:22.620 What is
01:14:23.120 local
01:14:23.480 governance?
01:14:24.200 Because there's
01:14:24.720 no way that
01:14:25.180 Israel is
01:14:25.620 going to
01:14:26.700 abdicate
01:14:27.380 control.
01:14:28.880 So does
01:14:29.760 that mean
01:14:30.060 that they
01:14:30.320 have a
01:14:30.540 local
01:14:30.780 government,
01:14:31.220 but the
01:14:32.300 security is
01:14:32.980 still handled
01:14:33.940 by others?
01:14:34.900 Because it's
01:14:35.540 who handles
01:14:36.000 the security
01:14:36.740 who is
01:14:37.860 in charge.
01:14:39.840 So that
01:14:40.940 part is
01:14:41.280 unstated.
01:14:43.220 And to
01:14:43.900 unlock
01:14:44.320 Israeli
01:14:44.920 prison
01:14:45.360 doors and
01:14:45.940 let 5,000
01:14:46.840 prisoners out.
01:14:48.720 And that
01:14:49.060 maybe this
01:14:49.560 has to do
01:14:50.100 more with
01:14:50.580 normalizing
01:14:51.180 relationships
01:14:51.760 with Israel.
01:14:52.660 That might
01:14:52.920 be the
01:14:53.200 big play
01:14:53.640 here.
01:14:54.580 Anyway,
01:14:54.980 I don't
01:14:55.240 know if
01:14:55.440 any of
01:14:55.680 this will
01:14:56.100 be useful,
01:14:57.440 but it's
01:14:57.980 exactly the
01:14:58.600 right
01:14:58.780 conversation.
01:14:59.460 And to
01:15:02.880 me, it
01:15:03.120 looks like
01:15:03.420 the most
01:15:03.780 fruitful
01:15:04.200 path.
01:15:05.780 There are
01:15:06.100 50 interns
01:15:06.960 who are
01:15:07.220 now put
01:15:07.940 together a
01:15:08.420 letter,
01:15:09.980 interns in
01:15:10.540 the White
01:15:10.760 House,
01:15:11.580 against
01:15:12.020 Joe Biden's
01:15:13.720 handling of
01:15:14.760 Israel and
01:15:15.320 Hamas. 0.73
01:15:16.940 And it
01:15:18.320 says that
01:15:18.760 they're
01:15:19.100 ignoring the
01:15:19.860 pleas of
01:15:20.300 the American
01:15:20.740 people,
01:15:21.880 blah, blah,
01:15:22.100 blah.
01:15:22.840 How many
01:15:23.540 interns are
01:15:23.980 there in
01:15:29.080 the White
01:15:29.400 House?
01:15:31.460 Are there
01:15:32.180 more than
01:15:32.680 40 interns?
01:15:36.740 That sounds
01:15:37.840 like a lot
01:15:38.280 of interns.
01:15:40.560 That sounds
01:15:41.280 like too
01:15:41.640 many,
01:15:41.960 doesn't it?
01:15:45.220 All right.
01:15:48.380 So I
01:15:49.460 love this
01:15:50.080 because it's
01:15:50.700 another example
01:15:51.440 of I'm
01:15:52.840 guessing that
01:15:53.520 these interns
01:15:54.240 are very
01:15:55.820 diverse.
01:15:57.040 You want
01:15:57.320 to make a
01:15:57.660 guess.
01:15:58.420 You think
01:15:58.720 the interns
01:15:59.280 are a
01:16:00.420 little extra
01:16:00.980 diverse?
01:16:02.780 They
01:16:02.980 probably
01:16:03.220 have some
01:16:03.580 DEI,
01:16:04.540 let's say
01:16:07.920 objectives when
01:16:08.660 they got
01:16:08.940 their interns,
01:16:09.900 and now
01:16:10.120 they have
01:16:10.340 40 of
01:16:10.800 them that
01:16:11.100 object to
01:16:12.080 the
01:16:12.380 administration
01:16:12.960 that hired
01:16:13.380 them in
01:16:14.260 a pretty
01:16:14.740 significant
01:16:15.260 way.
01:16:16.460 So it
01:16:16.780 makes me
01:16:17.160 wonder if
01:16:18.060 they think
01:16:19.200 that worked
01:16:19.620 down for
01:16:20.000 them.
01:16:21.260 So we'll
01:16:21.640 see how
01:16:21.920 that goes.
01:16:22.320 the Texan,
01:16:25.780 which is a
01:16:26.300 publication,
01:16:26.920 reports that
01:16:28.600 I guess
01:16:29.560 Texas,
01:16:30.980 the Attorney
01:16:31.400 General,
01:16:32.580 Texas Attorney
01:16:33.920 General,
01:16:34.880 is suing the
01:16:36.200 government for
01:16:37.040 weaponizing
01:16:37.940 censorship against
01:16:39.760 the Daily Wire
01:16:40.520 and the
01:16:41.300 Federalist.
01:16:42.440 The Daily Wire
01:16:43.500 and the
01:16:44.000 Federalist,
01:16:44.580 I guess,
01:16:45.080 would they be
01:16:46.780 the plaintiffs?
01:16:48.080 Do I have
01:16:48.680 that right?
01:16:49.100 In other
01:16:50.020 words,
01:16:50.460 in order for
01:16:51.480 the suit to
01:16:52.120 have meaning,
01:16:52.960 there has to
01:16:53.300 be victims.
01:16:54.540 So I think
01:16:54.980 they would
01:16:55.340 represent the
01:16:55.960 victims.
01:16:56.620 I think
01:16:56.880 that's how
01:16:57.220 it works.
01:16:59.240 And the
01:16:59.840 idea would
01:17:00.320 be that
01:17:00.960 the Democrats
01:17:03.880 put together
01:17:06.700 a censorship
01:17:08.300 architecture of
01:17:09.880 these fake
01:17:10.760 cutouts,
01:17:11.540 etc.,
01:17:11.960 and influenced
01:17:13.280 social media
01:17:14.920 companies for
01:17:16.280 the purpose
01:17:17.140 of censorship.
01:17:19.100 what do you
01:17:19.640 think about
01:17:20.020 this?
01:17:20.360 I think
01:17:20.660 this has
01:17:21.000 a good
01:17:21.240 chance.
01:17:22.500 Because as
01:17:23.200 far as I
01:17:23.640 know,
01:17:24.200 the factual
01:17:25.860 basis for
01:17:26.840 this lawsuit
01:17:27.460 is well
01:17:28.220 demonstrated
01:17:28.880 and now
01:17:29.820 public.
01:17:30.880 Meaning that
01:17:31.780 from the
01:17:32.580 Twitter files
01:17:33.340 and basically
01:17:33.980 everything that
01:17:35.020 Michael
01:17:35.260 Schellenberger
01:17:35.820 is doing,
01:17:36.500 Matt Taibbi,
01:17:38.600 and Congress,
01:17:41.840 I think they
01:17:42.860 have enough
01:17:43.340 evidence to
01:17:44.220 make this
01:17:44.620 case.
01:17:46.220 I think
01:17:46.940 they do.
01:17:47.960 So this
01:17:48.400 will be
01:17:48.640 interesting.
01:17:49.780 Texas to
01:17:50.360 the rescue
01:17:51.060 again.
01:17:57.640 So we'll
01:17:58.400 see.
01:17:59.840 We shall
01:18:00.400 see.
01:18:01.180 I think
01:18:01.540 that's
01:18:01.780 important.
01:18:06.120 All right.
01:18:09.540 Yeah,
01:18:10.180 Mike Benz
01:18:10.820 is the
01:18:11.320 best voice
01:18:12.580 on the,
01:18:13.640 what do
01:18:15.000 they call it?
01:18:15.480 the censorship
01:18:16.740 industrial complex.
01:18:18.860 I call it
01:18:19.480 the brainwashing
01:18:20.440 industrial complex.
01:18:22.020 I think
01:18:22.500 censorship,
01:18:24.060 well,
01:18:24.580 that gets to
01:18:25.340 the constitutional
01:18:26.080 question the
01:18:26.800 best,
01:18:27.940 you know,
01:18:28.160 because the
01:18:28.560 government can't
01:18:29.160 do censorship.
01:18:29.640 censorship.
01:18:30.640 I think that if
01:18:31.640 you want to
01:18:31.960 understand it on
01:18:32.820 the sort of
01:18:33.640 commonsensical
01:18:34.500 level,
01:18:35.400 it's not a
01:18:35.980 censorship.
01:18:37.180 On the practical
01:18:38.680 level,
01:18:39.220 it's brainwashing.
01:18:40.840 They don't just
01:18:41.900 want some people
01:18:43.340 not to talk.
01:18:44.600 They want to
01:18:45.420 change what you
01:18:45.980 think.
01:18:47.320 And so
01:18:47.600 brainwashing is
01:18:48.600 the scarier
01:18:49.440 crime.
01:18:52.240 The censorship
01:18:52.940 is sort of how
01:18:53.840 you get to the
01:18:54.380 crime.
01:18:54.720 But the
01:18:55.440 crime is
01:18:55.980 the brainwashing.
01:18:57.400 It's just that
01:18:58.120 the constitutional
01:18:58.960 part is the
01:18:59.740 censorship.
01:19:04.240 All right.
01:19:07.420 Censorship or
01:19:08.400 deprogramming?
01:19:15.480 Let's see.
01:19:16.760 I'm being
01:19:17.400 prompted to
01:19:18.080 talk about
01:19:18.580 Congressman
01:19:19.280 Thomas Massey.
01:19:22.200 All right.
01:19:22.920 Let me tell you
01:19:23.380 what I've
01:19:23.680 learned.
01:19:24.720 So Breitbart
01:19:25.880 and Joel
01:19:27.460 Pollack in
01:19:28.040 particular was
01:19:29.920 giving Thomas
01:19:30.620 Massey some
01:19:31.480 heat for a
01:19:33.520 meme that
01:19:34.760 used Zion
01:19:36.000 was part of
01:19:37.940 the meme.
01:19:39.280 And I
01:19:39.960 said to
01:19:40.300 well, I
01:19:41.280 said to
01:19:41.620 hear, I
01:19:42.960 don't really
01:19:43.360 see where
01:19:44.020 that was
01:19:44.380 antisemitic.
01:19:46.380 So here's
01:19:47.500 the counter
01:19:47.860 argument.
01:19:49.380 So if you
01:19:49.760 want to
01:19:50.040 understand how
01:19:50.840 anybody would
01:19:51.400 see that as
01:19:51.980 antisemitic,
01:19:52.800 here's the
01:19:53.120 counter argument.
01:19:54.720 that language
01:19:56.300 is more
01:19:57.080 commonly used
01:19:58.140 by, let's
01:20:01.820 say, the
01:20:02.180 worst racists
01:20:03.000 on the
01:20:03.300 right, who
01:20:04.700 believe that
01:20:05.460 the word
01:20:06.400 Zion is 0.93
01:20:08.440 closer to a
01:20:09.620 global Jewish
01:20:10.620 conspiracy idea
01:20:11.880 and not what
01:20:13.220 the dictionary
01:20:13.720 tells you.
01:20:14.860 Because the
01:20:15.180 dictionary just
01:20:15.800 says it's
01:20:16.360 about Israel's
01:20:18.560 statehood and
01:20:19.140 supporting it.
01:20:20.840 So I looked
01:20:21.960 at all the
01:20:22.340 definitions, and
01:20:23.300 the definitions
01:20:23.860 were all the
01:20:24.380 same.
01:20:25.040 It's just
01:20:25.440 about Israel
01:20:26.580 being a
01:20:27.060 state and
01:20:28.520 supporting it.
01:20:29.760 So I
01:20:30.300 thought, well,
01:20:30.860 what's wrong
01:20:31.340 with using
01:20:31.720 that word?
01:20:34.080 If every
01:20:34.860 definition is
01:20:36.240 a perfectly
01:20:36.760 innocent
01:20:37.280 definition,
01:20:38.480 what's wrong?
01:20:39.560 But all
01:20:40.740 words mean
01:20:41.920 something in
01:20:42.500 context only.
01:20:43.460 Would you
01:20:43.620 agree?
01:20:44.480 Words don't
01:20:45.140 have just a
01:20:47.340 meaning and a
01:20:47.920 context.
01:20:49.020 Every word,
01:20:50.120 in fact,
01:20:50.500 that was a
01:20:52.380 big point in
01:20:52.960 my book,
01:20:53.560 Reframe
01:20:53.940 Your Brain,
01:20:54.700 one of the
01:20:55.480 chapters makes
01:20:56.160 a big point
01:20:56.620 of this.
01:20:57.320 Words take
01:20:59.000 on meaning
01:21:01.060 beyond the
01:21:01.660 word.
01:21:02.480 So you can
01:21:03.140 look at the
01:21:03.560 dictionary, and
01:21:04.820 there will be
01:21:05.100 the base
01:21:05.520 meaning, but
01:21:06.720 that's not
01:21:07.320 everything the
01:21:07.940 word means.
01:21:09.460 We put power
01:21:11.140 into words.
01:21:11.760 And because
01:21:13.020 a certain
01:21:13.680 group of
01:21:14.120 people have
01:21:15.040 used that
01:21:16.320 Zion word as 0.85
01:21:18.440 part of their
01:21:19.060 ultra-antisemitic
01:21:21.080 narrative, that
01:21:23.520 anybody else who
01:21:24.480 uses it is,
01:21:25.900 whether they
01:21:26.320 like it or
01:21:26.840 not, is
01:21:27.980 taking on all
01:21:28.680 that weight.
01:21:30.080 So we could
01:21:31.060 argue all day
01:21:31.800 about the
01:21:32.360 specific definition
01:21:33.700 of the word,
01:21:35.480 but it does
01:21:36.720 have the effect
01:21:37.460 of giving
01:21:38.160 some, let's
01:21:39.740 say, giving
01:21:40.120 some oxygen
01:21:40.820 to the
01:21:41.940 worst
01:21:42.220 anti-Semitic
01:21:43.120 parts of the
01:21:43.620 country.
01:21:44.720 So if you
01:21:46.400 want to stop
01:21:47.080 somebody from
01:21:47.720 giving oxygen
01:21:48.620 to the worst
01:21:49.940 people in the
01:21:50.500 world, you
01:21:52.740 call it out
01:21:53.340 when they use
01:21:53.860 the word, just
01:21:54.720 so people know
01:21:55.520 there's sort
01:21:56.980 of a line
01:21:57.560 here, gurgle.
01:22:01.400 I'm just
01:22:02.020 telling you
01:22:02.360 both sides.
01:22:04.420 If you want
01:22:05.120 to know what
01:22:05.460 side I take,
01:22:06.380 I take the
01:22:07.360 side of Thomas
01:22:07.980 Massey, because
01:22:09.680 he used the
01:22:10.320 words the
01:22:10.720 way the
01:22:10.980 dictionary uses
01:22:11.740 them, he's
01:22:12.980 a nerd, and
01:22:14.420 nerds use
01:22:15.020 words the
01:22:15.480 way the
01:22:15.760 dictionary uses
01:22:16.440 them.
01:22:17.540 And I think
01:22:18.180 that's the
01:22:18.500 whole story.
01:22:19.960 Now, but is
01:22:21.000 it also fair
01:22:21.940 for somebody
01:22:23.380 to point out
01:22:24.260 that you're
01:22:25.460 getting real
01:22:25.880 close to that
01:22:26.700 line that you
01:22:27.940 don't want to
01:22:28.400 give any oxygen
01:22:29.160 to?
01:22:29.660 Yes.
01:22:30.620 It is
01:22:31.220 absolutely fair
01:22:32.220 to point out
01:22:33.320 that those
01:22:33.760 words carry
01:22:34.620 more meaning
01:22:35.340 than the
01:22:36.440 speaker may
01:22:37.080 have intended.
01:22:39.180 That is
01:22:39.820 fair.
01:22:42.040 But I'm
01:22:44.360 always going
01:22:44.740 to side
01:22:45.140 with the
01:22:45.660 free speech
01:22:46.980 if you're
01:22:47.420 using an
01:22:47.820 English word
01:22:48.460 in an
01:22:48.840 English word
01:22:49.360 way to
01:22:50.560 make a
01:22:50.860 point that's
01:22:51.320 not racist.
01:22:53.300 I'm okay
01:22:53.960 with that.
01:22:54.900 But I'm
01:22:55.300 also okay
01:22:56.520 with warning
01:22:57.200 somebody that
01:22:57.880 they're getting
01:22:58.220 close to a
01:22:58.780 line.
01:22:59.820 That's okay
01:23:00.240 too.
01:23:01.800 Can I agree
01:23:02.560 with both
01:23:02.940 of them?
01:23:07.600 I'm going
01:23:08.100 to agree
01:23:08.340 with both
01:23:08.720 of them
01:23:08.960 today.
01:23:10.060 All right.
01:23:10.560 But largely
01:23:11.360 because I
01:23:11.920 like both
01:23:12.420 of them
01:23:12.640 personally.
01:23:13.860 Have you
01:23:14.140 ever noticed
01:23:14.580 how hard
01:23:14.980 it is to
01:23:15.400 disagree with
01:23:15.980 somebody you
01:23:16.420 like?
01:23:17.900 All right.
01:23:18.520 So I love
01:23:19.400 Joel Pollack
01:23:20.100 and I love
01:23:20.680 Thomas Massey.
01:23:21.780 So I'm just
01:23:22.440 going to agree
01:23:22.900 with both
01:23:23.300 of them and
01:23:23.740 move on.
01:23:26.820 All right.
01:23:30.840 Did you watch
01:23:31.560 the Squid
01:23:32.000 Games?
01:23:32.420 No, I've
01:23:32.700 never seen
01:23:33.060 the Squid
01:23:33.400 Games.
01:23:34.420 Doesn't look
01:23:35.140 like something
01:23:35.700 I like.
01:23:36.900 I don't know.
01:23:44.620 Yeah.
01:23:45.200 All right.
01:23:45.560 I'm seeing
01:23:45.820 lots of
01:23:46.120 reactions here
01:23:46.840 but I think
01:23:47.680 we've done
01:23:48.240 the job that
01:23:49.540 we wanted to
01:23:50.100 do today.
01:23:50.540 Oh my God.
01:23:51.200 More than
01:23:51.520 enough.
