Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2326 CWSA 12⧸18⧸23 Vivek Gives. Advice To Van Jones, Hoaxes Trending, Lots More Fun

00:00:00.500 Do, do, do, do.

00:00:04.600 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:09.100 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your life.

00:00:14.280 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand,

00:00:19.360 well, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tanker gel,

00:00:23.920 a stein, a guillotine jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:27.080 You can fill it with your favorite liquid. I don't. I like coffee.

00:00:31.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that dopamine, the day thing, makes everything better.

00:00:36.560 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.

00:00:40.580 Go.

00:00:45.360 Ah.

00:00:45.760 And do you notice I made your day better without using AI, quantum computing,

00:00:53.060 or removing any CO2 from the air?

00:00:57.080 Yeah.

00:00:59.320 I did that.

00:01:03.520 Well, here's a question for you.

00:01:07.280 This is just a mental experiment.

00:01:09.740 You've probably seen old videos that have been restored

00:01:13.920 of Americans walking around the streets of, let's say, New York City

00:01:19.520 in the early 1900s.

00:01:21.840 You've all seen those videos?

00:01:25.500 And we laugh because the people have, there's like zero obesity.

00:01:30.320 There's no obesity.

00:01:31.700 Nobody.

00:01:32.720 Not male, not female, not any age, no obesity.

00:01:36.600 Now, men, I'm going to ask a very provocative question.

00:01:42.940 Men, of all those women that you saw walking around in those 1900s photos or videos,

00:01:51.500 how many of them would you have sex with?

00:01:53.660 Okay, it's all of them.

00:01:57.220 Pretty much all of them.

00:02:00.160 All right.

00:02:00.740 Now, men.

00:02:02.000 Men who just said you would have sex with all of the women in the 1900s.

00:02:05.700 Fast forward in your mind, the 2023 Christmas, put yourself in the middle of the mall,

00:02:13.880 whatever is your closest mall.

00:02:15.920 Now, in your mind, walk through the mall and look at all the people, men and women.

00:02:21.240 Now, ask yourself, what percentage of the women in the mall would you have sex with voluntarily?

00:02:26.660 Two percent, ten percent, five percent?

00:02:34.020 I'm just going to put a hypothesis out there.

00:02:38.120 There might be a reason that the population isn't growing as fast as it used to.

00:02:46.160 Maybe it's just really, really obvious.

00:02:49.760 Now, so that's just one problem.

00:02:52.220 I believe we are less attractive to each other.

00:02:54.620 I believe that's just a fact.

00:02:57.800 But on top of that, haven't we also become, because we all have our own little social media

00:03:03.960 bubbles we can get into, haven't we all become more different than we've ever been?

00:03:11.360 I feel like the average guy in 1900s, they're all about the same.

00:03:17.700 The average woman, they're all about the same.

00:03:20.480 But today, you know, you're into birdwatching, and I'm into quantum computing, and we just

00:03:29.840 don't have enough in common.

00:03:31.960 Because we have a riches of experiences, and we have different interests.

00:03:37.220 So there are pretty obvious reasons why things are going negative on population.

00:03:42.600 There's a viral story on X about some young white kid who got a 1460 on his SATs, but could

00:03:53.880 not get accepted at Cornell, despite how he skipped a grade, and I guess he did some extracurricular

00:04:00.620 stuff that was good.

00:04:01.560 But as other people have pointed out, 1460 isn't really good enough to get into Cornell.

00:04:10.880 It wouldn't matter what color you were.

00:04:13.680 Well, actually, it does.

00:04:14.740 I suppose if you were a group that were recruiting, 1460 would be enough.

00:04:19.560 But it's worth pointing out that 1460 would be at the low end of anybody who even applied.

00:04:29.520 I think it would be in the lowest 25% of anybody who even applied.

00:04:33.360 So I don't know if that story is really about discrimination, or just it's hard to get into

00:04:37.420 Cornell.

00:04:38.360 Maybe it's a little bit of bull.

00:04:39.340 Here's a question I asked on X, because Tucker Carlson keeps saying that there's something

00:04:49.620 real about these aliens, and that there are parts he doesn't even tell his wife, because

00:04:55.000 they're too disturbing, and there's a spiritual dimension to it.

00:05:00.140 Now, he's not very clear about what that spiritual dimension is, if he has any clarity on that.

00:05:06.040 Well, I would think there's an obvious skeptical problem here, which is, what if we find out

00:05:14.540 that life on Earth absolutely 100% came from aliens from another planet intentionally seeding us

00:05:23.140 with life?

00:05:25.580 So I'm going to give you just a mental experiment that I gave to people on X.

00:05:29.860 If you knew with 100% certainty, now, I accept that there's no such thing as 100% certainty,

00:05:38.800 which is why this is just a mental experiment.

00:05:41.840 Just a mental experiment.

00:05:43.600 But if you could have 100% certainty that life on Earth came from an alien planet, and it was

00:05:49.500 intentional, would you continue believing in your holy books?

00:05:54.940 Now, keep in mind, that would still allow you to believe in God, because in that case, God

00:06:02.020 might have created the aliens.

00:06:05.520 So, the first thing you should know about my question on X is that it was an NPC trap.

00:06:11.800 Do you know what the NPC trap is?

00:06:14.500 An NPC trap is when you say something that you know, certain percentage of the population

00:06:20.060 will have to respond in an exact, boring way, do whatever is the most boring thing they

00:06:24.900 can say.

00:06:26.100 So, because it was a trap, I put in my question, stipulated, God could have created the aliens.

00:06:34.660 You know why I put that in there?

00:06:36.860 Because 100% of the time, if you say that, you know, maybe the aliens seeded Earth, somebody

00:06:43.320 will say, but Scott, there's something you haven't considered, obviously.

00:06:48.140 Scott, I don't think you've considered that possibly the aliens could have been created

00:06:54.860 by God.

00:06:56.800 Now, yes, I know you will say that 100% of the time that this topic comes up.

00:07:02.100 So, I put right in the, right, very clearly, stipulated, God could have created the aliens.

00:07:09.240 And what did people say in the comments?

00:07:10.880 Well, Johnny 4K says, one would ask, where then did the aliens come from then?

00:07:20.640 Ultimately, one person is responsible.

00:07:24.400 And then, Amy is the bomb responded, no, someone had to create the aliens.

00:07:31.220 Why not a God?

00:07:33.440 So, yeah, my NPC tests, I sucked in a bunch of NPCs who then revealed themselves.

00:07:38.940 What's a really good form of swimming?

00:07:43.740 Or no, a good form of exercise is swimming.

00:07:46.740 Soil and green, the matrix.

00:07:48.900 Those are all the things the NPCs say.

00:07:50.900 But anyway, the point is that 63% of people said that if they found out for sure that their

00:07:58.660 religious holy books were completely made up, it wouldn't change their faith.

00:08:04.320 Even if they knew their faith wasn't real, they said they wouldn't change their faith.

00:08:11.080 Two-thirds.

00:08:12.040 Two-thirds of people said they wouldn't change their religious beliefs if they found out with

00:08:17.800 certainty.

00:08:18.980 And this is the key.

00:08:19.940 With 100% certainty, they found out they weren't true.

00:08:23.540 They wouldn't change their beliefs.

00:08:24.720 Now, of course, what's really happening here is people are reinterpreting the question so

00:08:35.040 that they can cheat, right?

00:08:37.120 Here's what they really did.

00:08:39.060 Hell, Scott, there's no such thing as 100% uncertainty in anything.

00:08:43.940 I know.

00:08:44.980 That's why it's a mental experiment.

00:08:47.220 You don't get to say there's no such thing as no certainty.

00:08:51.240 That wasn't one of the options.

00:08:53.200 But anyway, I believe the answers.

00:08:55.580 I believe that two-thirds of people would keep their religion regardless of what they found

00:09:00.720 out about it.

00:09:02.020 And if they found out aliens seeded the earth, they would just say, well, but God need the

00:09:07.620 aliens, so that's just a new detail.

00:09:10.240 But it would kind of make the whole Genesis story a little less practical.

00:09:17.000 And then other people said, but Scott, it's obvious that something had to create the universe.

00:09:26.280 Does anybody think that makes sense?

00:09:29.700 I want to see if anybody will agree with that.

00:09:31.980 Is it obvious that something created the universe?

00:09:36.760 Something that was not the universe created it.

00:09:39.400 That's obvious?

00:09:42.560 That's ridiculous.

00:09:44.280 It's not obvious.

00:09:45.560 It's literally ridiculous.

00:09:47.000 It's the opposite of obvious.

00:09:48.920 It's impossible.

00:09:54.340 No, the obvious answer is that there was always something here.

00:09:59.560 The obvious answer is that time is not what you think, and there was no beginning.

00:10:04.560 It was just an always.

00:10:06.100 That's far more likely than there was nothing, and then something created it.

00:10:13.000 Because if there was something that created it, then what created the thing that created it?

00:10:19.800 So, yeah, there had to be something here.

00:10:22.880 So there's no way nothing was here, and then it turned into something.

00:10:27.200 Because somebody who was not part of the nothing created it.

00:10:29.660 All right, well, enough about that.

00:10:37.300 According to Rasmussen poll, let's see if you can guess the answer to this.

00:10:42.780 Can you guess the answer before I ask the question?

00:10:46.180 Let's see if you can do it.

00:10:48.920 Yep.

00:10:49.960 Yep, you have the right answer.

00:10:52.680 That's correct.

00:10:53.480 The right answer is 24%.

00:10:55.100 And a lot of people had the answer before they knew what the topic was.

00:10:59.040 That's how smart my audience is.

00:11:00.960 Yeah.

00:11:01.060 So 24% is how many people believe the news media have given too much coverage of the Hunter Biden legal problems.

00:11:09.800 24% said there's way too much of this Hunter Biden legal problem stuff in the news.

00:11:15.620 Way too much.

00:11:20.020 But 51% say the media hasn't given it enough.

00:11:25.160 And also 60%, this is also Rasmussen.

00:11:28.880 60% of the likely U.S. voters believe the problem of bias in the news is getting worse.

00:11:36.640 And that's even worse than it used to be.

00:11:38.900 So even more people believe the news is getting worse.

00:11:43.200 That's progress.

00:11:44.740 I call that progress.

00:11:47.060 Is that good for Trump, if people think the news is less dependable?

00:11:51.940 Yes, because that's Trump's message from the beginning.

00:11:54.580 There's news that apparently people are developing new cases of chronic pain.

00:12:05.380 That's a big problem.

00:12:06.660 Chronic pain.

00:12:07.800 Just before I went live to the YouTube people, I asked the people on the locals platform privately.

00:12:14.660 If they had tried my test, I had challenged the people who follow me on the locals community to stop eating wheat for two weeks.

00:12:26.880 And the idea was, I don't have any evidence that wheat is bad for you.

00:12:32.160 I'm not a scientist.

00:12:33.740 I'm not a doctor.

00:12:35.080 So don't take it from me.

00:12:36.400 I'm just speculating that maybe people have different sensitivities to different foods.

00:12:43.840 And wheat would be one I'd try first.

00:12:47.260 Now, it doesn't mean it's the only thing that might be causing you some chronic pain.

00:12:51.460 Because I suspect our food sources are essentially compromised.

00:12:57.080 I don't think we have safe food.

00:12:59.600 We're even close.

00:13:01.420 Nothing even in that category.

00:13:04.140 Now, you can eat safely if you're to eat without preservatives and a lot of chemicals.

00:13:11.560 You don't do the processed food.

00:13:13.560 But some people have questioned whether our American bodies are handling the wheat.

00:13:20.480 I don't know the answer to that question.

00:13:22.560 So I said, why don't we do a little experiment?

00:13:25.200 And so I asked the people, how many of you would be willing to just give up wheat for a few weeks

00:13:29.860 to see how you feel, see if you lose weight, see if anything's different, just as an experiment.

00:13:36.720 And I asked just before I went live on YouTube, and it was just a stream of people

00:13:41.120 who had lost weight and feel better and lost chronic pain.

00:13:46.220 Now, is that scientific?

00:13:48.280 No.

00:13:48.760 Could it all be in our heads?

00:13:51.920 Yes, totally.

00:13:53.340 Could all be in our heads.

00:13:54.380 But I recommend this as a general system for your life.

00:14:00.420 The system for your life is you should continually experiment with adding foods to your diet,

00:14:07.960 and then don't change much except maybe one food you added, and then also subtract some things.

00:14:14.400 You know what to subtract.

00:14:15.720 Anything that looks like it might be a little suspicious, just see what happens.

00:14:20.160 If you feel better, keep doing it.

00:14:22.400 That's my advice.

00:14:23.300 However, in the same article, it said that these chronic pains have now surpassed diabetes and high blood pressure

00:14:31.300 as, you know, three chronic problems.

00:14:35.500 What do those three things have in common?

00:14:37.940 Maybe.

00:14:39.640 Actually, depression, too.

00:14:41.420 What do diabetes, depression, high blood pressure, and chronic pain have in common?

00:14:47.760 Maybe.

00:14:50.440 I think inflammation.

00:14:51.760 Yes.

00:14:53.300 I think inflammation is probably the thing behind everything, you know, and food.

00:14:58.940 So inflammation is the half answer.

00:15:01.860 The bigger answer is, I think this is all food.

00:15:06.000 Would you have as much high blood pressure if people were a good weight?

00:15:14.300 Wouldn't even be close.

00:15:15.800 Weight is very highly correlated.

00:15:17.280 How about diabetes?

00:15:18.580 How about diabetes?

00:15:18.660 How about diabetes?

00:15:18.840 That's food.

00:15:21.460 Chronic pain?

00:15:22.920 Chronic pain that people didn't used to have?

00:15:26.400 Probably food.

00:15:28.320 Probably.

00:15:29.820 How about depression?

00:15:31.080 Well, if you've got diabetes, bad blood pressure, and chronic pain, and you're overweight, you might not feel 100%.

00:15:43.780 So it's entirely possible that even depression has high correlation with, you know, your general health, which has a high correlation with what you eat.

00:15:52.180 So I'd be looking at the food sources, RFK Jr. is right on about all that stuff.

00:15:59.900 Here's something.

00:16:00.500 Remember I tell you that you don't understand any story until you know the players.

00:16:05.640 Like who's married to who, who's related to who, and who used to work for whom, who used to be whose boss.

00:16:13.800 If you don't know that, no story makes sense.

00:16:17.320 So if you saw a story about, let's say the Rolling Stone publication, said there's some big lie about Tesla, and that more than 2 million Teslas are being recalled because of some problem with the self-driving system,

00:16:33.880 wouldn't you say to yourself, my God, I'm going to think twice before I buy a Tesla car based on this Rolling Stone report?

00:16:43.660 All right, here's something that I left out of the report.

00:16:45.720 The so-called recall is just an automatic software update that you don't have to do anything about.

00:16:54.600 It's probably already done.

00:16:56.740 They called it a recall.

00:16:58.460 It was just a software update.

00:17:00.780 And the software update was something about being more in the face of the driver in case they were using the automatic driving.

00:17:09.060 It was more of a reminder to pay attention to the automatic driving if you haven't activated it.

00:17:15.720 Now, what part of that is some national story, that there was an automatic update like there always is, and it made their user interface a little bit better?

00:17:26.100 That's what happened.

00:17:28.060 Yeah.

00:17:28.420 Tesla improved their user interface automatically without any action by the owner.

00:17:34.240 And that got turned into, by Rolling Stone, a big lie about Tesla and a giant recall.

00:17:41.600 And they made it sound dangerous.

00:17:45.200 All right, so here's the things you don't know about Rolling Stone.

00:17:50.860 And, oh, did I not write down who told me this?

00:17:55.160 Damn it.

00:17:55.820 I'm stealing this from somebody on the X platform, and I did not write down who it was.

00:18:01.260 All right, well, I apologize, but I'm going to still give you the content.

00:18:04.880 So this is not my original research.

00:18:07.920 If somebody knows who I stole this from, remind me in the comments because I tweeted it.

00:18:14.700 But here's what we know.

00:18:16.240 Do you know who owns Rolling Stone publication?

00:18:18.980 It's owned by the Penske Media Group.

00:18:21.240 And their chairman is the son of Roger Penske, famous, you know, automotive Penske person.

00:18:31.560 And let's see, the father of the person who owns Rolling Stone, what kind of business is the father in?

00:18:39.880 Oh, owns over 200 car dealerships that compete with Tesla.

00:18:44.780 That's right.

00:18:49.160 So the guy whose company owns Rolling Stone, that guy's father, is a major competitor to Tesla.

00:18:58.860 Don't you think that should have been mentioned in the story?

00:19:02.580 It wasn't.

00:19:05.420 And then what about Rolling Stone itself?

00:19:09.480 So Rolling Stone is a traditional publication.

00:19:12.520 Who's it compete with?

00:19:13.740 It competes with X.

00:19:17.500 Right.

00:19:18.240 X is the publication that says that things like the Rolling Stone are obsolete and ridiculous and fake news.

00:19:25.520 Because it's obsolete and ridiculous and clearly fake news.

00:19:29.240 Now, suppose you didn't know that.

00:19:31.500 Suppose you read this story like it was just a story in the news.

00:19:35.820 You would think there's something wrong with Tesla.

00:19:39.740 In fact, if you go just like one level down, Tesla is operating pretty well.

00:19:46.540 They gave you an automatic update and made something better without you doing any work.

00:19:50.360 The media landscape is so slimy that if you don't know these connections, you just don't know what's going on.

00:20:01.980 You wouldn't know what this story is really about.

00:20:06.320 All right.

00:20:06.860 Here's something I loved when I woke up this morning on X.

00:20:10.200 A trending term was hoax.

00:20:12.180 Now, do you know why I'm happy about that?

00:20:16.720 That the word hoax was trending?

00:20:21.140 Here's why I'm happy.

00:20:22.740 So I go, I click on it to see what is, why that's trending.

00:20:26.580 And some people are talking about climate change being a hoax.

00:20:29.900 Some people talk about Russia collusion being a hoax.

00:20:33.080 Somebody said something about health care is a hoax.

00:20:35.420 Somebody said the Whitmer kidnapping things was a hoax.

00:20:39.200 And somebody else said the January 6th insurrection was a hoax.

00:20:47.140 Yeah, here we go.

00:20:49.020 Here we go.

00:20:52.140 There we go.

00:20:53.120 So I'm going to say that this is a Mike Cernovich, you know, with his movie Hoax.

00:21:01.520 And I think he's the first person who started using that word in the political context.

00:21:07.460 Or at least he's the most influential with it.

00:21:09.780 Now, I adopted his word.

00:21:12.140 And I've tried to extend it.

00:21:14.440 But it looks like it's entered the language pretty heavily.

00:21:18.860 Would you agree?

00:21:19.500 The fact that it's trending, and it's trending across topics, suggests that the frame, that the news is basically a bunch of political hoaxes.

00:21:33.320 And each one is a hoax in which you can explain the hoax pretty easily.

00:21:38.360 It's pretty easy to say what the hoax is in each of these cases.

00:21:43.900 It feels like winning.

00:21:45.260 As soon as I saw that word there, and I realized that it applied to a whole bunch of different topics, that looked like winning to me.

00:21:56.880 There's something in the zeitgeist now, where when somebody sees a story that looks sketchy, the word hoax comes to mind.

00:22:05.240 Alina Hubba, who's Trump's attorney, says that if Trump gets elected, they're going to go deep and hard against the Democrats.

00:22:21.240 Well, I mean, some could argue that that's already started in the Senate hearing room.

00:22:26.600 Anybody?

00:22:32.340 It already happened in the Senate hearing room.

00:22:36.200 Yep.

00:22:36.660 Somebody's going deep and hard against the Democrats.

00:22:41.100 Okay.

00:22:43.400 Look, if somebody gets banged in the Senate hearing room, I'm not going to let that go for at least three weeks.

00:22:53.000 Three weeks is my minimum, minimum level of joke window.

00:22:59.600 After three weeks, I'm going to say, it's a little old, sort of a Jussie's Smollett smell to it now.

00:23:07.680 We've talked about it too much.

00:23:09.380 But for now, oh, it's gold.

00:23:12.220 It's gold.

00:23:14.780 So there's that.

00:23:16.300 Now, what do you think of the idea, though, that Trump is going to go hard against the Democrats if elected?

00:23:22.820 Should they be saying that?

00:23:25.560 Do you think it's good for Trump to say or his proxies to say that he's going to go hard against the Democrats?

00:23:34.240 Because here's my problem.

00:23:35.260 I really think somebody does need to go hard against all the hoaxes and obviously the legal fuckery.

00:23:44.900 But I don't know if you should say it.

00:23:48.240 I don't know.

00:23:49.420 Because saying it leads into their narrative that he's going to be Thanos and everybody will die when he's elected.

00:23:58.460 So I don't know.

00:23:59.420 It could go either way.

00:24:00.260 I like that at least during the primary season they're talking tough because the base wants to hear it.

00:24:06.080 But maybe when it gets to the general, when the nominations are over, maybe then you don't say that so much.

00:24:16.000 I'll do a little less of that once we get into it a little more.

00:24:21.780 Jonathan Turley is on the case talking about Hunter Biden and whether he'll be charged with criminal contempt

00:24:29.160 or refusing to appear by subpoena, I guess, to talk to Congress.

00:24:37.280 But the interesting side question, which Turley talks about, is that Eric Swalwell apparently helped coordinate

00:24:44.900 and organize Hunter's noncompliance.

00:24:49.680 In other words, he attended with him and they were sort of working as a team.

00:24:54.620 So the question is, is Eric Swalwell risking going to jail for just helping Hunter in what looks like doing something

00:25:08.800 that could create a criminal contempt situation, interfere with the, you know,

00:25:14.200 wouldn't Swalwell be interfering with an official, an official, let's say, what would you call it,

00:25:21.280 an official process within Congress?

00:25:24.500 Because once the House members are looking into something, isn't that an official process?

00:25:31.280 Is there any less official than what Pence was doing on January 6th?

00:25:37.840 Or is there like some subcategory of what makes something official?

00:25:43.560 To me, it looks like somebody who's trying to thwart the Congress's official work.

00:25:48.580 So why wouldn't Swalwell go to jail?

00:25:53.620 You know, at least in the same risk as Bannon was, because there was a similar situation.

00:25:59.160 Some say nothing's ever really similar in this legal stuff.

00:26:04.940 There are no two situations that are really the same.

00:26:07.480 But there are situations that make you raise your eyebrow and say,

00:26:10.980 hmm, it's a little bit the same.

00:26:12.780 Maybe we should figure out what's different.

00:26:14.160 But I don't think this, Walwell is in legal jeopardy, and I don't think Hunter will be in legal jeopardy.

00:26:20.640 But I also don't think Bannon should have been in legal jeopardy.

00:26:25.300 So these are all edge cases.

00:26:29.060 People, you could argue that they broke the law.

00:26:32.160 I get it.

00:26:33.360 But you don't really want people to go to jail for this sort of stuff.

00:26:36.840 I don't.

00:26:37.580 Biden had a reaction to Trump's rally.

00:26:44.060 And here's what Biden said.

00:26:47.640 After I read this, see if you can answer the question, is it working?

00:26:53.300 Here's the Democrats' obvious strategy for beating Trump.

00:26:57.200 See if it's working.

00:26:58.340 So Biden released a statement saying,

00:27:01.380 Tonight, Donald Trump channeled his role models as he parroted Adolf Hiller, praised Kim Jong-un,

00:27:08.500 and quoted Vladimir Putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator and threaten American democracy.

00:27:19.960 May I quote Vivek Ramaswamy, presidential candidate?

00:27:25.460 Who said about Van Jones?

00:27:32.780 Well, you know what he said about Van Jones.

00:27:35.320 That's my next story.

00:27:37.440 Well, let me just point out that I don't think it's working.

00:27:41.980 I'm going to call this the Thanos strategy, because Thanos is just more ridiculously fictional.

00:27:48.100 You know, the whole Hitler, Kim Jong-un, Putin thing is like creating this fictional world where Biden,

00:27:55.760 where Trump lives in it, and he's friends with all the dictators, and he's going to be one.

00:28:00.540 It's a completely fictional world.

00:28:02.880 So I think it's funnier if you embrace it and take it all the way to the full fiction of Thanos,

00:28:09.220 the super villain in the Marvel movies, who's going to snap his bejeweled glove and half of the planet will die.

00:28:17.280 Let's just go full Thanos.

00:28:19.280 If you're going to show, you're going to put it in one sentence, Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong-un, and Vladimir Putin.

00:28:27.520 Don't be a pussy.

00:28:29.020 Just go full Thanos, huh?

00:28:32.020 Come on, Biden.

00:28:33.800 Come on.

00:28:34.600 Go full Thanos.

00:28:36.200 You can do it.

00:28:37.880 Now, do you agree that this attack doesn't feel like an attack anymore?

00:28:46.900 It feels sort of like a joke.

00:28:49.920 Doesn't it just sound funny to you when you hear it?

00:28:52.500 Like when I read this, I read it as humor.

00:28:55.800 Literally.

00:28:56.760 You know, I'm not saying that just to influence you.

00:28:59.160 I'm saying, I just laughed when I read it.

00:29:03.380 Yeah.

00:29:06.620 Looks like we lost the comments.

00:29:08.560 Oh, no.

00:29:08.960 Comments are back.

00:29:10.680 All right.

00:29:12.380 In a related story, Vivek Ramaswamy was speaking.

00:29:19.580 And he said, and I quote,

00:29:23.560 now, you know me, I don't like to use foul language in public.

00:29:26.920 So I'm only going to say this because it's a presidential candidate who said it in public.

00:29:34.300 So ordinarily, I would never try to offend your ears with such language.

00:29:41.840 But it's news.

00:29:43.000 It's news.

00:29:43.760 So I'm going to cover it.

00:29:46.240 You know, hey, we talked about Monica Lewinsky's blowjob.

00:29:50.180 Right.

00:29:50.740 Couldn't say that until it was news.

00:29:53.040 As soon as you touch a president's cock.

00:29:56.380 No, you can talk about that because it's news.

00:29:59.140 It's news.

00:29:59.880 That's right.

00:30:02.280 I can say president's cock because that was actually the subject of an impeachment.

00:30:07.740 There's news.

00:30:08.820 You can't blame me if it's news.

00:30:10.680 Not my fault.

00:30:12.360 Here's the news.

00:30:13.660 Vivek Ramaswamy said, and I quote,

00:30:15.400 quote, you've got this character, Van Jones on CNN afterwards is saying, quote, this is

00:30:22.080 the rise of an American demagogue.

00:30:24.160 Talking about Vivek himself.

00:30:27.220 This is the rise of an American demagogue who is going to live 50 years longer than Trump.

00:30:32.360 This is dangerous.

00:30:34.220 And then Vivek says, just shut the fuck up.

00:30:37.180 At a certain point, just shut the fuck up.

00:30:42.100 The crowd goes wild.

00:30:43.760 Well, the crowd goes wild.

00:30:47.700 Now, what strategy, what persuasion strategy is Vivek employing here successfully?

00:30:56.000 What strategy is employing?

00:30:58.740 He's treating them like clowns because the things they're saying do sound clownish.

00:31:05.160 And if he were to respond to it as in, my goodness, I'm not going to be a dictator, that would be such a mistake.

00:31:14.880 Because then you're just talking about how you're a dictator, but not a dictator.

00:31:18.480 And then just people think dictator.

00:31:20.020 But he goes the other way.

00:31:23.740 He just says, just shut the fuck up, which guarantees it becomes national news.

00:31:30.480 It's trending.

00:31:31.920 Right?

00:31:32.440 Guarantees it's national news and guarantees that you will mock Van Jones.

00:31:37.300 I actually like Van Jones.

00:31:40.780 I think he's awesome.

00:31:41.960 But he's also a team player on the other side, you know, unabashedly.

00:31:45.840 So I don't mind that.

00:31:47.160 I don't mind when people are overtly, unabashedly taking a team perspective.

00:31:54.680 That's okay.

00:31:55.920 Right?

00:31:56.120 If you don't lie to me, that's fine.

00:31:59.140 I don't mind that at all.

00:32:00.800 As long as you're not lying to me.

00:32:02.340 And Van Jones does a good job of not lying, in my opinion.

00:32:06.300 But he does use a little hyperbole now and then.

00:32:09.240 And the hyperbole about the dictators in the Republican Party are ridiculous.

00:32:15.200 In my mind, they are actually just funny.

00:32:18.200 So if we can get to the point where we treat it as funny, we're not going to look so scary.

00:32:24.080 Would you agree?

00:32:27.160 Mockery is very powerful.

00:32:29.320 Nobody wants to be the mocked person in the conversation.

00:32:32.840 And all this dictator stuff is so over-the-top ridiculous that Vivek...

00:32:42.100 I would say if you were going to grade this, it isn't just...

00:32:46.260 It's not even an A.

00:32:48.120 This is like extra credit.

00:32:50.600 You know, this is like an AP class A.

00:32:52.240 You know, it counts as a 4.5.

00:32:55.120 You can't do better than that.

00:32:59.120 Take your whole day.

00:33:01.020 You know, take a whole day off today.

00:33:03.160 And try to come up with a better response to Van Jones than...

00:33:07.520 Just shut the fuck up.

00:33:08.960 At some point, just shut the fuck up.

00:33:12.140 You can't beat that.

00:33:13.200 That is literally an unbeatable response.

00:33:18.140 Because it dismisses the other side as ridiculous exactly with the tone that you need to.

00:33:23.500 You joke about it because it's so stupid.

00:33:25.900 Perfect.

00:33:28.720 All right.

00:33:29.320 I talked about this, my Dear Democrat post, where I told the Democrats how to get out of their brainwashing prison.

00:33:40.900 And it's up to 3.5 million views.

00:33:43.580 I told you yesterday it had that early indication it might go viral.

00:33:49.140 Three and a half million people viewed it.

00:33:50.640 I saw that Elon Musk responded to it with just one word.

00:33:55.720 True.

00:33:57.880 I like when Elon Musk gives the really fast responses to things.

00:34:04.400 Sometimes he just does one exclamation mark.

00:34:07.460 Like if there's something in the news that's just crazy, he'll just do the one exclamation mark.

00:34:13.040 But then other times he just does the one word.

00:34:16.460 True.

00:34:16.640 So I'm sure that has something to do with the traffic on it.

00:34:21.480 But given that it has 3.5 million views and the Elon Musk endorsed it, and I saw a lot of people say it was the best post of the year.

00:34:34.620 Imagine how many posts there were this year.

00:34:37.220 And a number of people just spontaneously and independently said best post of the year.

00:34:42.700 Which I don't get.

00:34:44.400 And that's not something I hear.

00:34:45.800 Or even if I have this many views, people don't say it's the best post of the year.

00:34:51.920 They just say they like it.

00:34:53.380 So this one must be special.

00:34:55.900 So I'm going to read it to you again in full.

00:34:59.420 Because there's something about this that's really resonating with people.

00:35:04.780 So if we can understand what is it about this that's resonating, then you'll be more powerful.

00:35:10.880 So I'll just read it again to you.

00:35:12.120 Dear Democrats, I'm sorry your media has done this to you.

00:35:17.300 I realize you have no mechanism for knowing how brainwashed you are, and as a trained hypnotist, I am genuinely empathetic about it.

00:35:25.180 I mean no disrespect, because brainwashing is more powerful than brains.

00:35:30.580 That's why it works.

00:35:31.500 One way out of your mental prisons is to ask yourself which countries are okay with changing the basic nature of the societies via unchecked immigration.

00:35:42.820 If such countries exist, and unchecked immigration is working out great for them, you might be right that the right-wingers and Trump are like Hitler.

00:35:56.880 If no such country exists, consider that you have been the victim of brainwashing, the real kind,

00:36:03.400 and that this type of manipulation is the basic nature of American society, and has been for decades.

00:36:13.280 Next, ask yourself if anyone has ever used a complex model to predict anything about the future, climate change or otherwise.

00:36:21.940 You will learn it isn't a thing, and never has been.

00:36:26.940 Models do not predict the future.

00:36:30.140 Nothing else does either.

00:36:31.420 Your real enemies are the brainwashers in charge, not the so-called right-wing.

00:36:38.000 There is a common enemy.

00:36:40.780 The political right can be deluded and wronged too, but it never looks like the result of organized brainwashing,

00:36:46.840 just an attraction to conspiracy theories, too many of which have proven true.

00:36:53.300 Now, do you feel the persuasion in that?

00:36:59.200 Do you actually feel it?

00:37:01.420 Is that sort of the dividing line between just talking and persuading?

00:37:05.440 You have to feel it, or else it's not persuasion.

00:37:09.780 Too long?

00:37:11.120 It's too long, but I did get three and a half million views.

00:37:14.460 Let me tell you which parts of this are active persuasion, so you can reproduce it.

00:37:19.740 I started out by saying, dear Democrats, and I apologized to them.

00:37:27.560 I said, I'm sorry, and I have empathy for their situation.

00:37:30.000 If you start with empathy, you're going to get a better outcome than if you start with, you're all idiots.

00:37:38.800 So the first persuasion is that you start with empathy.

00:37:45.340 And I say, I'm sorry that it happened to you.

00:37:47.500 By saying, I'm sorry that it happened to you, I make people think about whether or not I'm really sorry.

00:37:55.060 What have I done?

00:37:56.880 If they're thinking about whether I'm really sorry about it, I made them think past the sale.

00:38:02.360 The sale is that something happened to them.

00:38:04.100 I'm not talking about whether something happened to them.

00:38:07.320 I'm talking about how I feel about it.

00:38:09.780 So I made them think past the sale.

00:38:11.820 That's in the first part.

00:38:13.580 That's classic persuasion.

00:38:16.320 I said, I mean no respect because brainwashing is more powerful than brains.

00:38:22.020 So now I've given them a graceful exit.

00:38:27.460 Is it Machiavelli who says you should always leave your enemy once you've defeated them?

00:38:32.200 Always leave them an escape route.

00:38:34.340 You don't want to humiliate them.

00:38:36.380 You want to give them a way out.

00:38:38.220 So I give them a way out, which is, hey, it's not your fault.

00:38:42.400 If somebody uses brainwashing on you, you're not magic.

00:38:47.700 Everybody's brain is susceptible.

00:38:49.760 So now I've shown empathy.

00:38:51.820 And I've also said there's a reason that's not your fault.

00:38:55.820 So I'm showing compassion.

00:38:58.060 And I've already absolved them from blame before I even get into the details.

00:39:02.880 That's good persuasion.

00:39:06.740 What else did I do?

00:39:09.900 Then I told them a way out of their mental prison, which is also making them think past the sale.

00:39:15.540 I'm not trying to sell them on the fact that they're in a mental prison.

00:39:20.760 I'm talking about how to get out.

00:39:23.260 Do you see the technique again?

00:39:24.960 I'm not going to argue whether you're in a mental prison.

00:39:27.940 That's a given.

00:39:28.580 I'm talking about how to get out.

00:39:30.800 Now, if I tell you how to get out, wouldn't you be tempted to try it if it were so easy it didn't require any effort whatsoever?

00:39:39.020 You just have to read the rest of the sentence.

00:39:41.180 That's your entire effort.

00:39:42.900 So you're saying to yourself, really?

00:39:44.220 I've been brainwashed, and you're going to get me out of it with one sentence?

00:39:50.740 How are you not being interested in that?

00:39:53.840 How do you bail out at that point?

00:39:55.960 You're going to finish, right?

00:39:57.200 You're going to finish because I'm going to tell you how to get out of a prison that you didn't know you were in.

00:40:01.800 And I'm going to do it in one sentence.

00:40:03.700 You're going to finish the sentence.

00:40:05.660 Find out what I'm up to.

00:40:06.580 So here's what I said was, consider that if there's some place where unchecked immigration is working, then maybe you've got a point.

00:40:19.460 Because as far as we know, there is no place that unchecked immigration is working, and logically it can't work.

00:40:26.240 It makes sense.

00:40:28.400 Now, some people said to me, but Scott, in the comments, unchecked immigration is what made America great.

00:40:36.580 Like, we're basically a nation that became the strongest nation on earth because of specifically unchecked immigration.

00:40:48.020 Do you know what my response to that is?

00:40:51.700 There's another word for that.

00:40:53.380 Let's see.

00:40:54.560 What's it called when somebody is already living in a place, and then you come in with all your people and displace the people who are there and take all their land?

00:41:04.020 Is that called unchecked immigration, or is that?

00:41:08.180 Oh, there's another word for it.

00:41:09.900 It's called colonizing.

00:41:11.900 Right?

00:41:13.300 Yes.

00:41:13.900 If you want to be a fucking colonizer, then how about your unchecked immigration is a good way to get there.

00:41:20.860 That's called colonizing.

00:41:23.560 Colonizing.

00:41:24.020 That was the best criticism to this tweet, that colonizing is maybe better than you thought.

00:41:37.780 All right.

00:41:38.260 So then I challenged them to think about that so that they have actually some meat to think about.

00:41:46.480 And then I said, we have a common enemy.

00:41:49.780 What's the best way to make a friend?

00:41:52.320 Best way to make a friend is if you have a common enemy.

00:41:55.180 And you're working toward defeating the common enemy.

00:41:57.920 So I say it directly.

00:41:59.120 Got a common enemy.

00:42:00.540 Whoever is brainwashing you is not my friend.

00:42:02.660 And they're not your friend if they're brainwashing you.

00:42:06.020 So we have a common enemy.

00:42:07.640 Whoever is brainwashing you is not my friend.

00:42:10.240 But I'm your friend.

00:42:12.420 You know, dear Democrat.

00:42:14.080 Dear Democrat, who I feel actual genuine empathy for.

00:42:18.120 I can be your friend.

00:42:20.140 But whoever is fucking with you,

00:42:23.300 whoever has destroyed your ability to see reality through this intense brainwashing,

00:42:28.960 they're not my friend.

00:42:30.420 I'm not even sure who they are.

00:42:31.680 They're not Republicans.

00:42:34.800 They're not Republicans.

00:42:36.760 I don't know who they are.

00:42:38.220 They're not my friend.

00:42:39.460 And they're definitely not your friend.

00:42:41.220 So we're on the same team.

00:42:43.860 That's good persuasion, too.

00:42:46.000 All right.

00:42:46.620 And then I finish it off by saying,

00:42:49.740 because at this point, you know, you assume,

00:42:53.140 by the way, this is good writing technique as well as good persuasion.

00:42:56.920 If you know what people are thinking as their criticism,

00:43:01.680 you should address it before they say it.

00:43:04.620 It's much stronger than waiting for them to say it.

00:43:07.160 Because once they say it, they're committed to it.

00:43:09.500 And then it's hard to back off something you said.

00:43:12.420 But if they haven't said it yet,

00:43:14.420 and you can catch it and, like, kill it in the crib,

00:43:16.740 then maybe it won't come out of the mouth,

00:43:19.760 and then they're not committed to it.

00:43:21.340 So it's easier to, you know, get it when they're young.

00:43:25.060 So I said the political right can be diluted and wrong, too.

00:43:28.920 Because if I hadn't said that,

00:43:31.280 that the right can be diluted and wrong,

00:43:34.060 then it's just a political statement.

00:43:36.420 And then people have permission to ignore it.

00:43:39.120 Like, ah, you're just on a team.

00:43:40.520 As soon as you say, I'm on a team,

00:43:43.600 you're kind of done with your persuasion.

00:43:46.780 Nobody's going to listen to the team play.

00:43:48.800 So you've got to say, yes,

00:43:49.940 this is something that applies to me and you equally.

00:43:54.100 But there is one little twist,

00:43:56.780 which is that the brainwashing that happens

00:44:00.040 on the Republican side doesn't seem to be organized.

00:44:04.940 It's people who genuinely believe what they believe.

00:44:08.360 Sometimes they collect more people

00:44:09.940 who believe the same thing,

00:44:11.640 such as vaccinations, such as the election, et cetera.

00:44:16.080 But it doesn't seem organized.

00:44:18.700 Or to the extent that it's organized,

00:44:20.540 you can tell that, you know,

00:44:21.440 maybe Trump is the main voice to it.

00:44:24.000 But there's nothing hidden.

00:44:25.440 There's nothing sketchy or weird happening.

00:44:28.260 It's just people say, I don't trust this thing.

00:44:30.960 I think there might be a conspiracy theory here.

00:44:33.620 That's very different than being brainwashed

00:44:35.560 into thinking it's a conspiracy theory.

00:44:37.800 Very different.

00:44:39.280 All right.

00:44:39.980 So that's the persuasion takedown on that.

00:44:43.760 Trump said at his speech that Jimmy Carter is very happy.

00:44:47.640 His administration was brilliant

00:44:49.100 compared to what we have right now.

00:44:51.280 Is that good persuasion?

00:44:53.820 Really good.

00:44:55.360 It's really good.

00:44:56.880 Here's the trick.

00:44:59.100 If he had said, Biden is terrible,

00:45:02.760 well, you'd argue with it.

00:45:04.340 He's not so terrible.

00:45:05.240 He did some things I like,

00:45:06.820 you might say if you're a Democrat.

00:45:08.720 But if you say Jimmy Carter is happy about it,

00:45:11.820 you've created a second question.

00:45:14.300 You've made him think past his sail again

00:45:16.960 from is Biden terrible

00:45:19.000 to is he the worst ever

00:45:21.040 or the second worst ever?

00:45:22.820 So Trump makes you think about

00:45:26.280 is Biden the worst of all time

00:45:28.260 or just the second worst?

00:45:30.200 Perfect.

00:45:32.520 It's perfect.

00:45:35.160 I like to think of Biden

00:45:36.820 as being a lot like Jimmy Carter.

00:45:39.300 The main difference being would be

00:45:41.580 Biden is like Jimmy Carter

00:45:44.240 if all of Jimmy Carter's peanuts

00:45:47.100 had been stolen

00:45:47.960 instead of growing them on the farm.

00:45:52.320 Is that fair?

00:45:55.660 Biden is like Jimmy Carter

00:45:57.140 if Jimmy Carter had stolen

00:45:58.680 all of his peanuts

00:45:59.600 instead of growing them on his farm.

00:46:02.380 I thought it was good.

00:46:04.420 I thought, I liked it.

00:46:07.820 All right.

00:46:10.280 Also, Carter never weaponized

00:46:12.040 the government as far as I know.

00:46:13.360 So in my opinion,

00:46:15.300 there's no competition.

00:46:17.040 Biden is far worse than Carter

00:46:19.160 because Carter meant well.

00:46:22.240 Let me say that again.

00:46:24.400 Jimmy Carter meant well.

00:46:26.560 That is not the case with Biden.

00:46:29.240 Biden's in it for the money.

00:46:33.380 Let's be honest.

00:46:34.560 He's in it for the money,

00:46:36.200 at least partly.

00:46:38.080 All right.

00:46:38.300 So now the EU Commission

00:46:39.500 just opened a formal proceeding

00:46:41.360 against X.

00:46:43.360 Do you think that's because

00:46:44.960 they have a genuine concern

00:46:46.920 or because X is a threat

00:46:49.020 to everybody in power

00:46:50.760 because free speech

00:46:52.380 actually happens there?

00:46:54.240 It's because it's a threat.

00:46:56.900 Of course.

00:46:58.280 So the weaponization

00:46:59.200 of the American government

00:47:01.640 has now spread

00:47:03.560 to the weaponization

00:47:04.420 of the European governments.

00:47:06.800 And do you know

00:47:07.280 what the European government

00:47:08.280 doesn't seem to be

00:47:09.440 complaining about?

00:47:11.420 TikTok.

00:47:11.780 TikTok.

00:47:13.360 TikTok.

00:47:15.020 TikTok is literally

00:47:16.400 one of the biggest risks

00:47:17.540 in the world.

00:47:18.540 It's fine.

00:47:19.580 Free speech.

00:47:21.700 Yeah.

00:47:22.540 If you can't tell

00:47:23.820 that the attacks

00:47:24.760 against Elon Musk

00:47:25.740 are purely political,

00:47:27.640 you are not paying attention

00:47:29.040 at all.

00:47:30.380 I mean,

00:47:31.260 it's pretty obvious

00:47:33.040 that these are purely political.

00:47:34.920 Pretty obvious.

00:47:35.720 But if you didn't spend

00:47:37.320 a lot of time

00:47:37.880 following the news,

00:47:38.860 maybe it wouldn't be.

00:47:41.180 Well,

00:47:41.640 I see two opposing reports

00:47:43.220 about a potential border deal.

00:47:45.980 Joe Manchin says,

00:47:47.020 might have a border deal

00:47:47.980 this week.

00:47:49.200 Lindsey Graham says,

00:47:50.640 not a chance in the world.

00:47:52.500 There will be a deal.

00:47:53.820 Nobody's even close.

00:47:55.900 So,

00:47:56.160 but I do like this.

00:47:58.000 I do like

00:47:59.700 that the Republicans

00:48:00.580 are holding tight

00:48:01.640 and they're saying,

00:48:03.080 unless we get something done

00:48:04.260 that's really useful

00:48:05.440 at the border,

00:48:06.420 you're not getting

00:48:07.420 any more Ukraine funding.

00:48:09.460 How many think

00:48:10.340 that was a good play?

00:48:11.240 I don't like

00:48:13.940 the omnibus things

00:48:15.640 where it's just

00:48:16.300 a whole bunch of stuff

00:48:17.260 thrown into one

00:48:18.060 big pot

00:48:19.220 and then,

00:48:20.220 you know,

00:48:20.520 everybody gets their pork

00:48:21.520 and nothing good happens.

00:48:22.940 So,

00:48:23.280 I don't like an omnibus.

00:48:25.140 But if you take

00:48:25.900 two issues

00:48:26.640 that can't be solved

00:48:27.860 and you can solve them

00:48:30.020 by marrying them,

00:48:31.500 when I say solved,

00:48:32.640 I mean,

00:48:32.920 at least we get

00:48:33.420 some kind of action

00:48:34.380 resolution.

00:48:35.840 That does make sense.

00:48:38.040 So,

00:48:38.680 from a systems perspective,

00:48:40.440 thank you.

00:48:45.260 You know,

00:48:46.260 have I ever

00:48:47.020 complimented Congress

00:48:48.040 before?

00:48:49.220 I don't think so.

00:48:51.700 Maybe in my whole life.

00:48:54.880 This I'm going to compliment.

00:48:56.280 Oh, actually,

00:48:56.780 I have.

00:48:57.080 I've complimented

00:48:58.080 Matt Gaetz

00:48:58.680 for causing trouble

00:49:00.980 when a promise

00:49:02.580 to him

00:49:03.060 was not kept.

00:49:05.100 I'm completely

00:49:06.040 on board with that.

00:49:07.520 If Matt Gaetz

00:49:08.620 got rid of

00:49:09.340 the speaker

00:49:10.020 for no other reason

00:49:12.260 than because

00:49:12.840 he broke a promise

00:49:13.700 to him,

00:49:14.680 I'm okay.

00:49:16.680 Blah, blah, blah.

00:49:17.700 Other things,

00:49:18.800 I don't care.

00:49:20.200 Blah, blah, blah.

00:49:21.000 It hurts the Republicans'

00:49:22.380 chances

00:49:22.720 of winning election.

00:49:24.080 Don't care.

00:49:25.340 Nope.

00:49:25.740 If you lie

00:49:26.540 to your colleague

00:49:27.840 and he takes you down,

00:49:30.180 good.

00:49:31.220 Good.

00:49:32.320 That's

00:49:32.480 nothing else to say.

00:49:34.920 I don't even care

00:49:35.900 if it hurts me

00:49:36.540 because I'm

00:49:38.560 in favor

00:49:38.980 of a system

00:49:39.740 where the system

00:49:41.180 works like a good system

00:49:42.600 even if sometimes

00:49:43.540 it's bad for me.

00:49:44.560 And that was

00:49:44.980 a good system response.

00:49:46.860 If the system

00:49:47.860 took out

00:49:48.340 somebody who lied

00:49:49.260 to him,

00:49:50.400 good.

00:49:51.300 That's what I want

00:49:52.060 to say.

00:49:52.860 More of that,

00:49:53.580 please.

00:49:56.520 But if

00:49:57.340 the Republicans

00:49:58.360 give some kind

00:49:59.340 of border thing,

00:50:00.620 especially since

00:50:01.420 it's an election year,

00:50:02.500 that should make it easier

00:50:03.320 to get something done there,

00:50:05.140 they're playing it right.

00:50:06.100 So Christopher

00:50:08.340 Wray says

00:50:09.060 the risk

00:50:10.160 at the border

00:50:10.640 is greater

00:50:11.200 than ever.

00:50:12.400 You know,

00:50:12.620 ISIS and

00:50:13.460 maybe

00:50:14.060 Al-Qaeda

00:50:15.180 and everybody

00:50:15.700 else might be

00:50:16.320 coming in.

00:50:18.480 I don't know.

00:50:21.320 I still have

00:50:22.480 this big

00:50:23.160 question mark

00:50:24.360 about why

00:50:26.020 there haven't

00:50:26.640 been lots

00:50:27.320 more domestic

00:50:28.360 terrorist attacks

00:50:29.560 in recent years.

00:50:31.480 Why is that?

00:50:33.180 The only thing

00:50:34.160 I can think of

00:50:34.920 is that

00:50:35.400 our surveillance

00:50:36.360 systems

00:50:37.920 that surveil

00:50:39.020 basically

00:50:39.480 all communications

00:50:40.500 all the time

00:50:41.240 are really good

00:50:42.740 and they can

00:50:44.040 pick out

00:50:44.400 keywords

00:50:45.020 and they can

00:50:46.120 spot the bad

00:50:46.820 guys before

00:50:47.440 they get

00:50:48.080 too organized.

00:50:49.440 We must

00:50:50.240 be taking

00:50:50.740 down

00:50:51.060 potential terrorists

00:50:52.340 like every day

00:50:53.280 and successfully,

00:50:55.320 I think.

00:50:56.200 I can't think

00:50:57.060 of any other

00:50:57.640 reason

00:50:58.020 we wouldn't

00:50:59.120 be seeing

00:50:59.660 massive terrorist

00:51:00.780 attacks in

00:51:01.340 Homeland

00:51:01.580 for years.

00:51:02.840 How can

00:51:03.160 it be none?

00:51:04.760 How is that

00:51:05.200 even possible?

00:51:08.000 So I'm

00:51:08.580 going to make

00:51:08.840 a prediction

00:51:09.260 that there

00:51:10.980 will not

00:51:11.540 be a wave

00:51:12.700 of major

00:51:13.220 terrorist attacks.

00:51:14.440 There might

00:51:14.780 be a spot

00:51:16.720 here and there

00:51:17.320 like there

00:51:18.340 might be a

00:51:18.740 lone wolf

00:51:19.280 or something.

00:51:20.320 I don't think

00:51:20.820 you're going to

00:51:21.140 see a 9-11

00:51:21.800 because I think

00:51:23.440 that our

00:51:24.140 spooks are so

00:51:26.740 good at

00:51:27.360 surveilling us

00:51:28.520 that they

00:51:29.540 would pick

00:51:29.920 up anybody

00:51:30.420 on the

00:51:30.800 mainland

00:51:31.200 or even

00:51:31.680 outside it

00:51:32.380 who even

00:51:33.180 thought about

00:51:33.720 doing something.

00:51:34.680 And I don't

00:51:35.020 think that you

00:51:35.520 can do

00:51:35.820 anything without

00:51:36.440 digital

00:51:36.980 communication

00:51:37.600 these days.

00:51:40.640 Cosperone

00:51:41.240 says,

00:51:41.980 wrong in

00:51:42.880 all capitals.

00:51:45.220 You should

00:51:46.100 just say,

00:51:46.660 I'm an

00:51:47.020 NPC.

00:51:48.800 That would

00:51:49.420 be more

00:51:50.420 clear.

00:51:51.300 Instead of

00:51:51.840 wrong,

00:51:53.420 I'm an

00:51:54.220 NPC.

00:51:55.360 I just

00:51:55.700 wanted you

00:51:56.080 all to know

00:51:56.560 it.

00:51:57.480 Swimming is

00:51:57.980 the best

00:51:58.240 form of

00:51:58.640 exercise.

00:52:00.020 And also

00:52:00.540 soil and

00:52:02.620 green.

00:52:05.520 All right,

00:52:05.980 there's

00:52:06.160 something called

00:52:06.620 a TikTok

00:52:07.080 mutiny.

00:52:08.200 At least

00:52:08.360 that's what

00:52:08.700 social media

00:52:09.280 calls it.

00:52:10.280 So apparently

00:52:10.680 there are a

00:52:11.040 number of

00:52:11.380 TikTokers who

00:52:12.160 are in the

00:52:12.620 U.S.

00:52:12.980 army who

00:52:14.280 are whining

00:52:14.980 about being

00:52:15.660 in the

00:52:15.980 service is

00:52:16.980 terrible.

00:52:17.620 They don't

00:52:17.920 like the

00:52:18.280 pay, the

00:52:19.520 food, and

00:52:20.560 they don't

00:52:20.820 like taking

00:52:21.300 fitness tests,

00:52:22.540 and they've

00:52:23.360 been complaining

00:52:23.860 on TikTok.

00:52:26.040 Now,

00:52:26.340 the demographic

00:52:30.640 that the

00:52:31.700 military needs

00:52:32.520 to attract

00:52:33.240 to join

00:52:34.180 the military

00:52:34.760 is that

00:52:35.760 exact TikTok

00:52:36.660 age group.

00:52:38.320 And now

00:52:38.580 people in

00:52:39.100 the TikTok

00:52:39.520 age group,

00:52:40.380 actual

00:52:40.700 influencers,

00:52:41.900 are telling

00:52:42.900 people in

00:52:43.380 the age

00:52:43.740 group that

00:52:44.240 it's a

00:52:44.480 terrible deal

00:52:45.060 to join

00:52:45.520 the military.

00:52:48.400 Should we

00:52:49.240 assume that

00:52:50.840 the net

00:52:51.220 effect of

00:52:51.660 that will

00:52:52.120 be a

00:52:52.640 degradation

00:52:53.220 of our

00:52:53.860 military

00:52:54.300 capabilities?

00:52:56.340 I think

00:52:56.800 it's

00:52:56.960 obvious,

00:52:57.380 right?

00:52:58.340 It's

00:52:58.620 somewhat

00:52:58.900 obvious

00:52:59.600 that if

00:53:01.360 people in

00:53:01.880 the military

00:53:02.500 are directly

00:53:03.960 telling other

00:53:04.580 people don't

00:53:05.200 do it,

00:53:06.440 because I've

00:53:07.200 never really

00:53:07.560 seen that

00:53:07.960 before.

00:53:08.760 Have you?

00:53:10.780 I've never

00:53:11.520 seen any

00:53:12.100 kind of

00:53:12.420 organized,

00:53:13.420 you know,

00:53:14.520 digital

00:53:15.020 negativity

00:53:16.240 about joining

00:53:16.960 the military.

00:53:17.660 So now

00:53:20.160 here's the

00:53:20.500 question.

00:53:21.560 If you

00:53:21.900 didn't know

00:53:22.340 it,

00:53:23.080 TikTok is

00:53:23.700 owned by a

00:53:24.360 Chinese company,

00:53:26.300 and Chinese

00:53:26.740 companies have

00:53:27.360 to do what

00:53:27.800 the government

00:53:28.280 tells them.

00:53:29.300 Everybody

00:53:29.600 understands that.

00:53:31.580 TikTok has

00:53:32.220 told us they

00:53:32.780 have a

00:53:33.060 button that's

00:53:34.300 literally titled

00:53:35.500 Heat.

00:53:36.780 If they push

00:53:37.680 that button on

00:53:38.800 a certain

00:53:39.300 post on

00:53:40.620 TikTok,

00:53:41.480 it will get

00:53:41.960 lots more

00:53:42.560 attention.

00:53:43.540 It gets more

00:53:44.080 heat.

00:53:44.840 It was

00:53:45.180 viral.

00:53:45.480 So what

00:53:47.020 would happen

00:53:47.560 hypothetically

00:53:48.480 if China

00:53:50.040 told TikTok

00:53:50.780 to push

00:53:51.620 the button

00:53:52.080 on the

00:53:53.360 people who

00:53:53.980 are in

00:53:54.320 the American

00:53:54.820 military who

00:53:55.600 say,

00:53:56.040 don't join,

00:53:56.520 it's a bad

00:53:56.960 deal, I

00:53:57.380 hate it here?

00:53:58.340 What would

00:53:58.780 happen?

00:54:00.420 It would

00:54:01.160 destroy the

00:54:01.880 fighting ability

00:54:02.620 of the U.S.

00:54:03.460 military,

00:54:04.680 maybe for a

00:54:06.080 decade.

00:54:09.060 That's

00:54:09.620 completely

00:54:10.060 legal.

00:54:11.780 Our

00:54:11.940 Congress

00:54:12.620 allows

00:54:14.980 our

00:54:15.620 biggest

00:54:15.920 adversary,

00:54:16.700 China,

00:54:18.300 to have

00:54:18.760 total

00:54:19.420 infiltration

00:54:20.200 of all

00:54:20.720 of our

00:54:20.960 young

00:54:21.180 people,

00:54:22.820 and then

00:54:23.520 have a

00:54:23.880 message that

00:54:24.680 would destroy

00:54:25.300 the military

00:54:25.900 capability of

00:54:26.680 the United

00:54:26.980 States,

00:54:27.660 and what

00:54:28.440 would China

00:54:28.840 need to

00:54:29.300 do to

00:54:30.200 destroy the

00:54:30.840 military of

00:54:31.360 the United

00:54:31.680 States?

00:54:33.560 This is not

00:54:34.500 an exaggeration.

00:54:36.000 This is

00:54:36.400 literally

00:54:36.960 true.

00:54:38.120 One

00:54:38.640 button.

00:54:40.020 One

00:54:40.560 button.

00:54:40.860 One

00:54:42.700 phone

00:54:43.020 call,

00:54:44.060 and one

00:54:44.980 button.

00:54:46.660 Hello,

00:54:47.400 this is the

00:54:47.940 government of

00:54:48.480 China.

00:54:49.020 Am I

00:54:49.260 talking to

00:54:49.700 the CEO

00:54:50.280 of

00:54:50.840 ByteDance?

00:54:53.040 Yes.

00:54:54.560 Could you

00:54:54.920 tell your

00:54:55.380 TikTok

00:54:55.680 managers to

00:54:56.780 push the

00:54:57.180 heat button

00:54:57.720 on these

00:54:58.960 soldiers who

00:54:59.620 are saying

00:54:59.940 don't join

00:55:00.420 the U.S.

00:55:00.860 military?

00:55:02.120 Absolutely,

00:55:02.860 sir.

00:55:03.680 Thank

00:55:04.160 you.

00:55:05.100 Click,

00:55:06.420 push,

00:55:08.320 and that's

00:55:08.680 the end of

00:55:09.040 the U.S.

00:55:09.420 military.

00:55:09.720 Is that

00:55:13.020 an exaggeration?

00:55:14.920 Does anybody

00:55:15.600 want to

00:55:15.980 challenge my

00:55:16.800 frame?

00:55:19.180 Does anybody

00:55:19.660 want to

00:55:20.060 say,

00:55:20.960 Scott,

00:55:21.380 that's a

00:55:21.700 little

00:55:21.840 hyperbolic.

00:55:23.200 You're

00:55:23.380 not going

00:55:23.660 to destroy

00:55:24.160 the U.S.

00:55:24.700 military by

00:55:25.320 pushing one

00:55:25.840 button,

00:55:26.640 unless it's

00:55:27.200 a nuclear

00:55:27.620 button.

00:55:29.080 No,

00:55:29.320 that's not

00:55:29.780 an exaggeration.

00:55:32.320 TikTok

00:55:32.600 does have

00:55:33.340 the power

00:55:33.840 to destroy

00:55:35.160 recruitment

00:55:35.780 of the

00:55:36.200 U.S.

00:55:36.520 military.

00:55:37.800 That's a

00:55:38.440 real thing?

00:55:39.720 And

00:55:40.440 your

00:55:40.620 Congress

00:55:41.140 is not

00:55:42.220 really

00:55:42.520 even too

00:55:43.120 serious

00:55:43.640 about

00:55:44.140 stopping

00:55:44.620 it.

00:55:45.700 Not

00:55:46.180 really

00:55:46.440 serious

00:55:46.820 about

00:55:47.060 it.

00:55:47.720 What

00:55:48.100 does that

00:55:48.360 tell you?

00:55:50.040 Tells me

00:55:50.660 only one

00:55:51.080 thing.

00:55:52.020 There is

00:55:52.600 no

00:55:52.840 possibility

00:55:53.420 that our

00:55:53.960 Congress

00:55:54.460 is anything

00:55:55.420 but bought

00:55:56.040 off.

00:55:57.340 I don't

00:55:58.120 think there's

00:55:58.560 any other

00:55:58.960 explanation for

00:55:59.800 what we're

00:56:00.180 saying.

00:56:01.100 And if

00:56:01.600 there is

00:56:01.900 another

00:56:02.140 explanation,

00:56:02.840 wouldn't

00:56:02.980 you like

00:56:03.280 to hear

00:56:03.580 it?

00:56:03.760 And if

00:56:04.960 somebody

00:56:05.280 went on

00:56:05.680 TV tomorrow

00:56:06.460 to answer

00:56:07.820 these

00:56:08.120 questions,

00:56:08.740 the ones

00:56:09.020 that I

00:56:09.240 just

00:56:09.440 brought

00:56:09.680 up,

00:56:10.640 how do

00:56:11.060 you think

00:56:11.280 that

00:56:11.440 conversation

00:56:11.980 would go?

00:56:13.080 Let me

00:56:13.520 tell you.

00:56:14.560 News

00:56:14.680 person.

00:56:15.480 So,

00:56:15.980 what do

00:56:16.500 you think

00:56:16.700 about

00:56:16.920 TikTok?

00:56:17.680 You think

00:56:18.020 it should

00:56:18.260 be banned?

00:56:20.620 Congress

00:56:20.740 person.

00:56:21.760 Well,

00:56:22.480 you know,

00:56:22.760 this issue

00:56:23.280 of data

00:56:23.800 privacy is

00:56:24.680 very important,

00:56:25.560 but,

00:56:25.740 you know,

00:56:25.980 I think

00:56:26.320 we don't

00:56:27.000 want to

00:56:27.240 ban it

00:56:27.560 because

00:56:27.720 it's

00:56:27.780 free

00:56:27.960 speech.

00:56:28.360 Thank

00:56:31.600 you for

00:56:31.880 coming.

00:56:33.140 Thank

00:56:33.420 you for

00:56:33.680 coming.

00:56:34.720 Our next

00:56:35.420 story,

00:56:37.220 right?

00:56:38.600 Because the

00:56:39.500 news is

00:56:40.120 obviously

00:56:40.580 corrupt,

00:56:41.340 so they're

00:56:41.880 not going

00:56:42.180 to even

00:56:42.400 ask the

00:56:42.820 right

00:56:42.960 question.

00:56:43.400 It's not

00:56:43.720 about data

00:56:44.220 security.

00:56:45.400 It's not

00:56:46.060 data security.

00:56:47.100 It's not

00:56:47.400 privacy.

00:56:48.220 That is

00:56:48.720 an issue.

00:56:49.700 But it's

00:56:50.280 about pushing

00:56:50.760 that heat

00:56:51.140 button.

00:56:52.080 That's the

00:56:52.460 one that

00:56:52.740 destroys the

00:56:53.320 military.

00:56:57.100 Do you

00:56:57.660 think you

00:56:57.980 can get

00:56:58.420 a news

00:56:58.980 person

00:56:59.380 to ask

00:56:59.920 the

00:57:00.100 question

00:57:00.460 correctly

00:57:01.000 and turn

00:57:02.320 that into

00:57:02.800 like a

00:57:03.520 TV hit?

00:57:04.800 Now,

00:57:05.140 I have

00:57:05.320 seen it

00:57:06.060 done,

00:57:07.560 but one

00:57:08.100 out of

00:57:08.380 ten,

00:57:08.620 maybe.

00:57:09.400 Nine

00:57:09.720 out of

00:57:10.020 ten will

00:57:10.460 be data

00:57:11.600 security.

00:57:12.260 That's

00:57:12.460 the

00:57:13.120 diversion.

00:57:14.640 And one

00:57:14.980 out of

00:57:15.240 ten will

00:57:15.720 say,

00:57:16.180 but there's

00:57:16.900 a heat

00:57:17.160 button,

00:57:18.240 and there

00:57:18.560 will be

00:57:18.780 mention of

00:57:19.280 it.

00:57:19.780 But do

00:57:20.060 you think

00:57:20.300 there will

00:57:20.500 be anybody

00:57:20.940 in the

00:57:21.320 news

00:57:21.700 who will

00:57:22.320 do

00:57:22.440 what I

00:57:22.720 just

00:57:22.940 did?

00:57:23.820 To

00:57:24.260 describe to

00:57:24.960 you how

00:57:25.360 simple it

00:57:25.980 would be

00:57:26.440 for China

00:57:27.440 to destroy

00:57:28.120 the entire

00:57:28.720 U.S.

00:57:29.220 military with

00:57:30.020 one button.

00:57:31.760 Do you

00:57:32.260 think you'll

00:57:32.600 see that on

00:57:33.100 TV?

00:57:34.440 No.

00:57:34.920 Do you

00:57:35.120 think the

00:57:35.400 Washington Post

00:57:36.000 will write an

00:57:36.520 article about

00:57:37.660 how China

00:57:38.100 has one

00:57:38.620 button

00:57:38.940 destruction

00:57:39.960 powers now

00:57:40.680 of the

00:57:40.960 United States?

00:57:41.960 No.

00:57:42.600 New York

00:57:42.900 Times?

00:57:44.000 No.

00:57:45.400 No.

00:57:46.200 No.

00:57:46.440 No.

00:57:46.460 It will

00:57:47.920 be

00:57:48.100 completely

00:57:48.540 ignored.

00:57:50.400 Yeah.

00:57:54.340 There's a

00:57:55.000 story in

00:57:55.300 the BBC

00:57:55.740 that says

00:57:56.340 white men

00:57:56.860 are 30

00:57:57.360 times more

00:57:58.080 likely to

00:57:58.680 succeed in

00:57:59.480 finance

00:58:00.160 jobs.

00:58:02.760 And they

00:58:03.460 say it's

00:58:03.760 because they're

00:58:04.100 coming from

00:58:04.580 higher socioeconomic

00:58:05.800 backgrounds.

00:58:07.180 So I guess

00:58:07.680 there's some

00:58:08.060 effort to

00:58:08.480 want to

00:58:08.900 fix that.

00:58:11.040 And some

00:58:11.720 research showed

00:58:12.700 that there's

00:58:13.440 that big

00:58:13.780 difference.

00:58:14.180 what's

00:58:16.320 missing from

00:58:17.020 the survey?

00:58:18.160 So let's

00:58:18.780 say the

00:58:19.100 survey is

00:58:19.640 correct and

00:58:20.780 that white

00:58:21.400 men are

00:58:22.060 30 times

00:58:22.680 more likely

00:58:23.220 to succeed

00:58:24.060 in finance.

00:58:25.560 What's

00:58:25.940 missing?

00:58:26.820 Is there

00:58:27.080 any data

00:58:27.660 that's missing

00:58:29.100 from the

00:58:29.620 story that

00:58:30.160 would maybe

00:58:30.640 give you

00:58:30.960 better context

00:58:31.760 on this?

00:58:33.560 Well,

00:58:34.200 allow me to

00:58:35.000 suggest.

00:58:37.420 Did they

00:58:38.220 ask all

00:58:39.420 the different

00:58:39.860 groups who

00:58:41.140 was interested

00:58:41.960 in the

00:58:44.180 I have

00:58:45.080 a degree

00:58:45.680 in

00:58:45.840 economics

00:58:46.500 and MBA

00:58:47.440 from

00:58:47.920 Berkeley

00:58:48.560 but I

00:58:48.880 don't like

00:58:49.200 to mention

00:58:49.560 it because

00:58:50.720 I'm

00:58:50.860 embarrassed

00:58:51.340 by my

00:58:53.440 MBA.

00:58:54.620 But why

00:58:55.060 do you

00:58:55.640 think I

00:58:56.080 pursued a

00:58:57.940 finance

00:58:58.460 related

00:58:58.980 career?

00:58:59.640 Economics

00:59:00.120 and then

00:59:01.680 business.

00:59:02.320 What was

00:59:03.380 it about

00:59:03.780 me?

00:59:04.980 Was it

00:59:05.360 because I

00:59:05.920 was born

00:59:07.460 in a rich

00:59:07.900 family?

00:59:09.260 So I was

00:59:09.600 always around

00:59:10.040 money?

00:59:11.340 No.

00:59:12.340 No.

00:59:12.700 I was

00:59:12.960 raised in

00:59:14.280 a lower

00:59:15.740 middle class

00:59:16.520 income.

00:59:17.480 My father

00:59:17.840 worked for

00:59:18.340 the post

00:59:19.000 office.

00:59:19.460 He was

00:59:19.640 a clerk

00:59:20.060 beyond the

00:59:21.160 counter

00:59:21.360 of the

00:59:21.580 post

00:59:21.780 office.

00:59:24.480 The house

00:59:25.420 I grew

00:59:25.740 up in

00:59:26.140 was made

00:59:26.860 of cinder

00:59:27.320 blocks that

00:59:28.280 my mother

00:59:28.700 and my

00:59:28.980 father built

00:59:29.600 with their

00:59:30.000 own two

00:59:30.320 hands.

00:59:31.600 That's

00:59:31.800 right.

00:59:31.980 I grew

00:59:32.200 up in

00:59:32.380 a house

00:59:32.660 that my

00:59:32.960 parents built

00:59:33.480 themselves.

00:59:34.760 And they

00:59:35.160 never built

00:59:35.660 anything before.

00:59:37.520 You could

00:59:38.160 tell.

00:59:38.420 But no.

00:59:41.740 Let me

00:59:42.080 tell you

00:59:42.480 why I

00:59:43.180 pursued an

00:59:44.780 education in

00:59:45.760 the finance

00:59:46.440 area.

00:59:47.600 I was

00:59:48.340 legitimately

00:59:48.960 interested.

00:59:50.620 And when I

00:59:50.980 looked at all

00:59:51.440 my options,

00:59:52.160 I said to

00:59:52.540 myself,

00:59:53.000 I don't

00:59:54.180 think I

00:59:54.480 want one

00:59:54.780 of those

00:59:55.040 jobs where

00:59:55.640 I'm outdoors

00:59:56.260 all day.

00:59:57.640 In the

00:59:58.240 sun and

00:59:58.780 the cold

00:59:59.220 and moving

01:00:00.660 stuff.

01:00:01.180 I'd get

01:00:01.640 tired.

01:00:02.700 And I

01:00:03.280 said,

01:00:03.600 which jobs

01:00:04.120 make me a

01:00:04.620 lot of

01:00:04.840 money?

01:00:05.920 Well,

01:00:06.220 finance

01:00:06.620 sounded kind

01:00:07.180 of promising.

01:00:07.640 You take

01:00:08.740 a lot of

01:00:09.160 different

01:00:09.380 directions,

01:00:09.960 right?

01:00:10.480 You don't

01:00:10.800 just have

01:00:11.340 to be a

01:00:11.780 personal

01:00:12.260 finance

01:00:12.780 person.

01:00:13.540 You might

01:00:13.860 just be

01:00:14.240 managing

01:00:14.560 your own

01:00:14.980 money.

01:00:15.700 But,

01:00:16.180 you know,

01:00:16.460 useful skill

01:00:17.260 no matter

01:00:17.600 what you

01:00:17.920 do with

01:00:18.160 it.

01:00:20.140 So I

01:00:20.700 said to

01:00:21.000 myself,

01:00:21.380 you know

01:00:21.580 what,

01:00:21.720 I'd like

01:00:22.060 to make

01:00:22.360 a lot

01:00:22.580 of money.

01:00:23.440 I'm

01:00:23.680 quite

01:00:23.940 interested

01:00:24.400 in

01:00:24.700 understanding

01:00:25.220 how

01:00:25.980 money

01:00:26.320 works.

01:00:27.260 And there's

01:00:27.640 a word

01:00:27.920 for it

01:00:28.300 called

01:00:28.520 economics.

01:00:29.640 And then

01:00:30.220 I pursued

01:00:30.760 my interests.

01:00:32.740 And then

01:00:33.280 I did

01:00:33.680 okay.

01:00:35.300 You know,

01:00:35.560 cartooning is

01:00:36.180 what mostly

01:00:37.060 worked,

01:00:37.420 but if

01:00:37.900 you haven't

01:00:38.180 heard my

01:00:38.560 story,

01:00:39.460 if not

01:00:40.060 for the

01:00:40.560 business

01:00:41.240 education,

01:00:42.900 cartooning

01:00:43.260 wouldn't have

01:00:43.620 worked for

01:00:44.040 me.

01:00:44.640 Because I

01:00:45.020 had to

01:00:45.460 use those

01:00:46.000 skills to

01:00:46.940 make cartooning

01:00:47.640 work.

01:00:48.160 It wasn't

01:00:48.540 because the

01:00:49.160 cartoon was

01:00:49.680 so good.

01:00:51.500 So if

01:00:53.580 you don't

01:00:54.000 have in

01:00:54.420 your survey,

01:00:56.780 all right,

01:00:57.360 you're,

01:00:58.840 how old

01:00:59.580 was I?

01:01:00.700 Let's say

01:01:01.080 you're 15.

01:01:02.960 Survey 15

01:01:04.060 year old

01:01:04.440 kids and

01:01:05.680 find out what

01:01:06.320 their interest

01:01:06.880 is in a

01:01:07.740 career in

01:01:08.360 finance.

01:01:09.480 What are

01:01:09.780 the women

01:01:10.160 going to

01:01:10.480 say,

01:01:10.860 the girls,

01:01:11.580 the 15

01:01:11.980 year old

01:01:12.240 girls?

01:01:12.660 What are

01:01:12.900 the girls

01:01:13.320 going to

01:01:13.600 say?

01:01:14.500 What are

01:01:14.820 the white

01:01:15.240 boys going

01:01:15.980 to say?

01:01:16.840 What are

01:01:17.200 the black

01:01:17.800 girls and

01:01:18.520 black boys

01:01:19.120 going to

01:01:19.420 say?

01:01:20.660 What are

01:01:20.980 the Asian

01:01:21.500 boys and

01:01:22.880 girls going

01:01:23.320 to say?

01:01:23.940 Would it

01:01:24.180 be the

01:01:24.400 same?

01:01:25.600 If you

01:01:26.940 found out

01:01:27.400 they all

01:01:27.720 had equal

01:01:28.280 interest at

01:01:28.980 age 15,

01:01:30.360 but only

01:01:31.580 white men

01:01:32.260 succeeded,

01:01:33.380 you've got

01:01:34.260 a real

01:01:34.520 problem

01:01:34.940 there,

01:01:35.820 right?

01:01:36.540 I mean,

01:01:36.800 that's

01:01:37.000 clearly,

01:01:38.560 there's

01:01:39.000 something

01:01:39.180 going on

01:01:39.840 and you

01:01:40.220 would suspect

01:01:40.740 discrimination

01:01:41.560 would be

01:01:41.900 the top

01:01:42.240 of your

01:01:42.420 list.

01:01:44.400 But if

01:01:45.120 you can't

01:01:45.680 determine

01:01:46.080 that there's

01:01:46.740 a difference

01:01:47.200 in interest

01:01:47.940 at age 15,

01:01:49.680 then the

01:01:50.760 rest of the

01:01:51.180 stuff is

01:01:51.580 useless.

01:01:52.860 I don't

01:01:53.520 care how

01:01:53.860 many actually

01:01:54.600 became

01:01:55.460 finance people.

01:01:57.120 I care how

01:01:58.100 many who

01:01:58.520 wanted to be

01:01:59.260 finance people

01:02:00.060 succeeded.

01:02:02.240 Because that

01:02:02.760 would tell

01:02:03.020 me a lot.

01:02:04.420 If there

01:02:04.700 were an

01:02:04.960 equal,

01:02:05.560 let's say

01:02:05.840 ratio-wise,

01:02:06.800 an equal

01:02:07.160 pool of

01:02:08.800 black women

01:02:10.860 who wanted

01:02:11.280 to be

01:02:11.580 finance

01:02:12.100 professionals

01:02:12.840 and white

01:02:13.920 men,

01:02:14.620 and then

01:02:15.320 there was

01:02:15.620 a big

01:02:15.920 difference

01:02:16.320 in outcome,

01:02:17.420 I'd say

01:02:17.820 you've got

01:02:18.120 to look

01:02:18.340 at that.

01:02:19.480 That's

01:02:19.740 something

01:02:19.880 you've got

01:02:20.120 to look

01:02:20.340 at.

01:02:21.400 It's not

01:02:21.980 the only

01:02:22.340 explanation

01:02:22.880 for why

01:02:23.320 it might

01:02:23.540 happen,

01:02:24.000 but you've

01:02:24.280 got to

01:02:24.400 look at

01:02:24.640 that.

01:02:26.240 But if

01:02:26.580 you don't

01:02:26.940 know what

01:02:27.320 the interest

01:02:27.920 level was

01:02:28.600 at age 15,

01:02:30.060 you don't

01:02:31.000 know anything.

01:02:33.120 And I'm

01:02:33.880 really tired

01:02:34.500 of people

01:02:35.180 looking for

01:02:35.760 the problem

01:02:36.340 at the

01:02:36.760 end of

01:02:37.240 the process.

01:02:38.960 If you're

01:02:39.740 walking into

01:02:40.420 an employer's

01:02:41.300 office and

01:02:42.000 you don't

01:02:42.360 get the

01:02:42.760 job,

01:02:43.860 that wasn't

01:02:44.920 a problem

01:02:45.360 that happened

01:02:45.840 this week.

01:02:47.840 That's probably

01:02:48.660 your whole

01:02:49.020 life.

01:02:50.160 Everything you

01:02:50.960 did from

01:02:51.460 preschool until

01:02:53.680 the moment

01:02:54.100 you walked

01:02:54.580 into that

01:02:54.980 interview is

01:02:56.440 what will

01:02:57.280 probably determine

01:02:58.120 your success.

01:02:58.880 success is

01:02:59.800 not the

01:03:00.120 only thing.

01:03:02.540 But certainly

01:03:03.460 I think we

01:03:04.120 need to

01:03:04.500 focus on

01:03:05.240 very young

01:03:05.980 people's

01:03:06.680 strategies.

01:03:09.400 I will

01:03:10.000 tell you

01:03:10.360 that despite

01:03:10.960 not growing

01:03:11.860 up in a

01:03:12.340 family where

01:03:13.640 anybody had

01:03:14.420 killed it and

01:03:15.080 made a lot

01:03:15.440 of money,

01:03:16.060 so I wasn't

01:03:16.720 looking at any

01:03:17.280 role models in

01:03:18.040 my town.

01:03:19.480 There was one

01:03:19.980 lawyer who

01:03:20.900 was sort of a

01:03:21.300 role model because

01:03:21.900 he made

01:03:22.180 money.

01:03:22.440 But my

01:03:26.360 mother told

01:03:26.960 me every

01:03:27.360 day, I

01:03:29.080 think every

01:03:29.500 day it

01:03:29.880 felt like,

01:03:30.580 not literally,

01:03:31.520 but she

01:03:32.340 would say,

01:03:32.800 you're going

01:03:33.800 to college and

01:03:35.460 then you're

01:03:35.940 going to be

01:03:36.480 successful and

01:03:37.100 make money and

01:03:38.280 then you're

01:03:38.660 going to take

01:03:39.060 care of us

01:03:39.520 in your old

01:03:39.940 age.

01:03:41.980 So I went

01:03:42.700 to school,

01:03:43.280 I took it

01:03:43.780 seriously, I

01:03:45.940 made a bunch

01:03:46.600 of money,

01:03:47.080 just like she

01:03:47.660 said.

01:03:48.360 I did exactly

01:03:49.040 what she said.

01:03:50.320 And then once

01:03:51.000 I made a bunch

01:03:51.600 of money, I

01:03:52.040 bought him a

01:03:52.840 house to live

01:03:53.480 in Florida.

01:03:55.160 And I took

01:03:55.820 care of him.

01:03:57.340 So from

01:03:57.860 literally from

01:03:59.220 kindergarten, my

01:04:01.180 mother put a

01:04:02.000 program in my

01:04:02.800 head and my

01:04:04.220 siblings as

01:04:04.860 well.

01:04:05.580 She put

01:04:06.160 programs in

01:04:06.800 all her

01:04:07.060 heads.

01:04:07.720 You're going

01:04:08.080 to school,

01:04:08.900 you're going

01:04:09.220 to build

01:04:09.500 some skills,

01:04:11.460 make sure

01:04:11.900 you're good

01:04:12.300 at something.

01:04:13.760 She always

01:04:14.380 used to say

01:04:14.820 that.

01:04:15.500 It doesn't

01:04:15.880 matter what

01:04:16.300 you do,

01:04:17.700 she would

01:04:18.080 say, make

01:04:18.680 sure you're

01:04:19.060 the best

01:04:19.440 one at

01:04:19.880 it.

01:04:20.920 Now, later

01:04:21.460 in life, I

01:04:22.240 came up with

01:04:22.740 the talent

01:04:23.240 stack idea,

01:04:24.820 which is, I

01:04:27.140 think, an

01:04:27.460 improvement in

01:04:28.060 that.

01:04:28.740 Because rather

01:04:29.160 than being the

01:04:30.000 best at one

01:04:31.180 really limiting

01:04:32.120 skill, I tell

01:04:33.820 you to combine

01:04:35.000 skills until

01:04:36.740 you're the

01:04:37.200 best being

01:04:38.800 you.

01:04:39.700 In other

01:04:39.980 words, nobody

01:04:40.540 has those

01:04:41.040 skills.

01:04:42.320 It's a version

01:04:43.100 of being the

01:04:43.580 best, but it's

01:04:44.620 a way to get

01:04:45.140 there without

01:04:45.540 having the

01:04:46.060 best talent.

01:04:46.860 You just

01:04:47.500 combine things

01:04:48.260 until you're

01:04:48.700 special.

01:04:49.440 So, did

01:04:52.060 I succeed

01:04:52.760 because I'm

01:04:56.200 a white

01:04:56.560 man, or

01:04:57.880 did I succeed

01:04:58.640 because I

01:04:59.340 was given

01:04:59.800 almost at

01:05:00.520 birth a

01:05:02.320 strategy that

01:05:04.680 works for

01:05:05.180 basically

01:05:05.580 everybody?

01:05:07.620 Wouldn't you

01:05:07.960 agree?

01:05:09.260 How many of

01:05:10.480 you were told

01:05:11.280 from the time

01:05:11.980 you were in

01:05:12.340 kindergarten,

01:05:13.400 you're going

01:05:13.900 to college,

01:05:14.580 college, be

01:05:15.720 good as

01:05:16.300 something, stay

01:05:18.160 in jail, did

01:05:21.420 it work?

01:05:22.740 You tell me,

01:05:23.620 did it work?

01:05:24.780 So, a number

01:05:25.240 of people say

01:05:25.800 yes.

01:05:26.660 If your parents

01:05:27.520 told you to

01:05:28.120 get educated and

01:05:29.140 build a skill

01:05:29.960 and stay in the

01:05:31.060 jail, did it

01:05:31.960 work?

01:05:32.220 Yes, of course

01:05:34.040 it work.

01:05:36.640 So, I think

01:05:38.760 the focusing on

01:05:40.140 what happens

01:05:40.740 when you're an

01:05:41.300 adult and you

01:05:41.900 can't get that

01:05:42.480 job is just

01:05:43.720 missing the

01:05:44.300 whole story.

01:05:45.460 The whole story

01:05:46.340 is that

01:05:46.760 kindergarten

01:05:47.400 experience,

01:05:48.220 basically.

01:05:48.560 because I

01:05:51.580 can tell you

01:05:51.960 it never

01:05:52.200 changed.

01:05:53.120 There was no

01:05:53.580 point in my

01:05:54.040 life where I

01:05:55.320 thought to

01:05:55.880 myself, oh, I

01:05:56.580 guess I don't

01:05:57.060 need education.

01:05:58.540 I guess I

01:05:58.840 don't need to

01:05:59.260 be good at

01:05:59.700 something.

01:06:01.080 And then my

01:06:02.060 other biggest

01:06:02.640 part of my

01:06:03.300 philosophy that's

01:06:04.360 I think been

01:06:04.900 useful, and

01:06:06.260 Jordan Peterson

01:06:06.840 says a version

01:06:07.780 of this as

01:06:08.400 well, so it's

01:06:09.640 more credible

01:06:10.160 when he says

01:06:10.720 it, but if

01:06:12.280 you're not

01:06:12.620 thinking of

01:06:13.200 your future in

01:06:14.020 terms of being

01:06:14.580 useful, you're

01:06:16.960 not doing

01:06:17.420 anything.

01:06:18.560 you only get

01:06:20.420 rewarded for

01:06:21.180 providing value.

01:06:23.440 So if you're

01:06:24.340 thinking, how

01:06:24.960 can I get

01:06:25.500 stuff out of

01:06:27.120 the system?

01:06:28.100 Like, what's my

01:06:28.980 mechanism for

01:06:29.800 extracting things

01:06:30.860 from the system?

01:06:31.740 You're a loser.

01:06:33.620 That is the

01:06:34.560 loser way to

01:06:35.660 think of the

01:06:36.100 system.

01:06:37.000 If you're

01:06:37.740 thinking, what

01:06:38.340 value can I

01:06:39.180 add?

01:06:40.960 You're a

01:06:41.580 winner.

01:06:43.160 Now, do you

01:06:43.900 always get fairly

01:06:44.940 compensated for

01:06:45.940 adding value?

01:06:47.380 No.

01:06:48.560 No, I

01:06:49.580 wish.

01:06:50.300 I mean, but the

01:06:51.020 world doesn't

01:06:51.440 work that way.

01:06:52.300 If you keep

01:06:52.900 adding value all

01:06:53.920 your life, are

01:06:55.280 you likely to be

01:06:56.180 recognized as a

01:06:57.100 person who adds

01:06:57.660 value?

01:06:58.420 Are you likely to

01:06:59.600 get job offers

01:07:00.440 because of that?

01:07:01.200 Are you likely to

01:07:02.100 attract a good

01:07:02.860 mate?

01:07:03.820 Yes.

01:07:05.300 Yes.

01:07:06.540 You know, you

01:07:06.900 can not get

01:07:08.680 credit for a lot

01:07:09.520 of good stuff you

01:07:10.260 do, but if you're

01:07:11.600 just doing useful

01:07:12.620 stuff your whole

01:07:13.380 life, everybody

01:07:15.100 notices.

01:07:15.560 everybody

01:07:16.920 notices, and

01:07:19.120 that will make

01:07:19.560 you stand

01:07:19.920 out.

01:07:20.980 So the be

01:07:22.940 useful part

01:07:23.840 wasn't exactly

01:07:25.740 something that my

01:07:27.140 parents said in

01:07:28.020 words, but do

01:07:32.520 you know that

01:07:33.280 kids raised today

01:07:34.840 often don't have

01:07:35.620 jobs or even

01:07:36.920 chores?

01:07:38.220 Have you noticed

01:07:39.060 that?

01:07:40.820 Like a kid today

01:07:42.040 would get an

01:07:42.720 allowance for just

01:07:44.180 going to school?

01:07:46.080 Oh, good for

01:07:47.140 you.

01:07:47.540 You went to

01:07:47.920 school.

01:07:49.120 Here's your

01:07:49.480 allowance.

01:07:51.680 Do I have to

01:07:52.460 work for it?

01:07:53.120 Oh, God, no.

01:07:53.920 You've got so much

01:07:54.480 homework.

01:07:55.560 You've got your

01:07:55.920 activities after

01:07:56.780 school, and you

01:07:57.620 have to have time

01:07:58.140 for your friends

01:07:58.720 and stuff.

01:07:59.880 So no, no,

01:08:00.720 there's no time

01:08:01.240 for that.

01:08:02.140 No, you're not

01:08:02.760 going to work.

01:08:03.720 It's crazy.

01:08:06.600 But, you know, I

01:08:07.660 tell people I was

01:08:08.560 making dinner for

01:08:10.220 the family at, I

01:08:11.540 don't know, age

01:08:12.440 14 or something.

01:08:14.180 And we were

01:08:16.600 always, you know,

01:08:17.680 trained from the

01:08:18.440 youngest age to

01:08:19.320 work on my

01:08:19.920 uncle's farm, to

01:08:21.780 help around the

01:08:22.620 house.

01:08:23.060 I was mowing the

01:08:23.740 lawn, shoveling

01:08:25.560 the snow, you

01:08:27.260 know, all that

01:08:27.720 stuff.

01:08:28.500 So nobody had to

01:08:29.660 tell me to be

01:08:30.300 useful.

01:08:32.000 By the time I

01:08:33.480 got to college, I

01:08:35.920 had had an entire

01:08:37.020 saturation of

01:08:39.020 there's something

01:08:39.620 that needs to be

01:08:40.260 done.

01:08:40.520 You know

01:08:42.940 what?

01:08:43.520 Like, that is so

01:08:44.360 activating to me.

01:08:46.000 Scott, there's

01:08:46.720 something that needs

01:08:47.380 to be done.

01:08:49.120 Damn it.

01:08:50.680 Because I'm going

01:08:51.360 to have to do it.

01:08:52.640 You tell me something

01:08:53.420 needs to be done, and

01:08:55.200 it's important, and I

01:08:57.180 can't even think about

01:08:58.180 anything else.

01:08:59.340 Like, I'm so trained to

01:09:00.880 do what's useful to

01:09:02.880 other people.

01:09:03.380 So, be useful to

01:09:06.600 other people.

01:09:07.120 That's your lesson

01:09:07.820 for the day.

01:09:08.920 And is there any

01:09:10.460 story that I should

01:09:11.540 have mentioned that I

01:09:12.280 forgot?

01:09:14.300 Anything going on

01:09:15.340 that I missed this

01:09:16.840 morning?

01:09:19.620 Your husband did

01:09:20.540 food shopping for

01:09:21.340 the family when he

01:09:22.120 was eight years old

01:09:22.920 in New York City.

01:09:24.020 Yeah.

01:09:24.860 Yep.

01:09:26.100 That's how it used

01:09:26.680 to be.

01:09:27.020 Kids' first jobs are

01:09:35.720 not paying enough.

01:09:38.040 Yeah, there's

01:09:38.740 something to that.

01:09:40.020 Oh, yeah, I forgot

01:09:40.580 to talk about the

01:09:41.260 motorcade crash.

01:09:42.800 So, Biden's

01:09:43.540 motorcade, I think

01:09:44.780 it was in D.C.,

01:09:45.480 right?

01:09:47.540 Got crashed into

01:09:49.420 by a car.

01:09:50.820 Oh, it was in

01:09:51.500 Delaware.

01:09:52.100 Somebody says it was

01:09:52.820 in Delaware.

01:09:54.220 So, a car crashed

01:09:55.220 into one of the SUVs

01:09:56.820 in Biden's big,

01:10:00.220 what do you call

01:10:01.000 it, his motorcade.

01:10:03.340 And there's a

01:10:05.680 picture of the,

01:10:06.560 there's a picture of

01:10:07.800 the driver of the

01:10:08.680 car and police,

01:10:10.780 you know, the law

01:10:11.460 enforcement is standing

01:10:12.380 around the car

01:10:13.420 talking to him.

01:10:14.360 You should see his

01:10:15.040 face.

01:10:17.460 Now, people are

01:10:19.300 prompting me to say

01:10:20.340 he's a black driver,

01:10:21.520 but that's not part

01:10:22.520 of the story.

01:10:23.740 Yeah, the driver's

01:10:24.900 ethnicity is not

01:10:25.820 part of the story.

01:10:26.820 But if you want

01:10:27.400 to, you know,

01:10:27.840 just picture it in

01:10:28.620 your head a little

01:10:29.580 bit better,

01:10:30.280 imagine the driver

01:10:31.180 of this driver.

01:10:34.220 He runs into

01:10:35.440 something, so it's

01:10:36.420 already a bad day,

01:10:37.440 right?

01:10:37.980 If you crash your

01:10:39.100 car, it's a bad

01:10:40.700 day.

01:10:42.100 And then the law

01:10:43.180 enforcement people

01:10:44.040 surround your car,

01:10:45.100 car, and you realize

01:10:46.460 there are a whole

01:10:46.880 bunch of people

01:10:47.400 with suits and

01:10:48.180 guns, because

01:10:49.200 apparently they

01:10:49.720 came after him

01:10:50.380 with guns out,

01:10:51.140 because they

01:10:51.400 didn't know if

01:10:51.980 it was a threat

01:10:52.560 or not.

01:10:53.800 So imagine you

01:10:54.660 look out, you

01:10:55.200 see all these

01:10:55.700 well-dressed

01:10:56.400 secret service

01:10:57.200 people, and

01:10:58.500 they've got guns

01:10:59.440 drawn, and you're

01:11:00.660 sitting in your

01:11:01.240 car, and you're

01:11:02.320 just a totally

01:11:03.240 innocent motorist.

01:11:04.320 somebody said

01:11:06.120 it was a black

01:11:06.740 SUV at night

01:11:07.980 blocking an

01:11:09.320 intersection, so

01:11:10.560 maybe there was

01:11:11.120 just a visibility

01:11:11.860 problem, that's

01:11:12.540 possible.

01:11:14.580 But imagine the

01:11:15.660 look in his face

01:11:16.560 when he found

01:11:17.580 out what he just

01:11:18.260 did.

01:11:19.620 Sir, do you

01:11:20.480 know who you

01:11:22.000 just ran into?

01:11:24.260 Some kind of

01:11:24.980 SUV.

01:11:26.600 Do you know

01:11:27.060 who was in the

01:11:27.580 car behind it?

01:11:29.240 No.

01:11:30.620 The President

01:11:31.400 of the United

01:11:31.860 States.

01:11:33.040 What?

01:11:34.320 The President

01:11:34.940 of the United

01:11:35.320 States, you

01:11:35.840 just ran into

01:11:37.720 his motorcade.

01:11:39.140 We think you

01:11:39.940 might be a

01:11:40.360 terrorist.

01:11:41.840 What?

01:11:44.580 What?

01:11:47.120 So, to me, the

01:11:48.780 funny part of

01:11:49.360 that story was

01:11:51.620 I wish I could

01:11:53.260 have a picture of

01:11:54.200 the face of the

01:11:55.300 driver when he

01:11:57.580 found out what

01:11:58.320 he had just

01:11:58.780 done.

01:11:59.280 Because he

01:11:59.780 thought it was

01:12:00.160 bad enough because

01:12:00.880 he created an

01:12:01.500 accident.

01:12:02.340 He was like,

01:12:02.680 ah, the

01:12:02.980 accident's bad

01:12:03.580 enough.

01:12:04.840 And you're

01:12:05.540 going to be in

01:12:05.880 the newspaper.

01:12:07.040 And you're

01:12:07.420 going to be a

01:12:07.780 little bit

01:12:08.080 famous.

01:12:11.960 Woman in

01:12:12.640 Texas shot a

01:12:13.460 14-year-old boy

01:12:14.340 who broke

01:12:14.740 into her

01:12:15.160 home.

01:12:16.940 Well, good

01:12:18.220 for her.

01:12:22.000 All right.

01:12:22.660 I think that's

01:12:23.240 all for now.

01:12:24.720 Not much

01:12:25.380 happening on

01:12:25.940 AI, except

01:12:26.920 just keeps

01:12:27.880 moving forward.

01:12:28.580 And I'm

01:12:33.120 going to

01:12:33.220 say, is

01:12:34.960 How to

01:12:35.200 Fail ever

01:12:35.660 coming back

01:12:36.260 to Audible?

01:12:36.960 Probably.

01:12:38.100 Probably.

01:12:38.720 You can't

01:12:39.160 buy it now?

01:12:40.800 I thought the

01:12:41.520 old Audible for

01:12:42.440 How to Fail was

01:12:43.180 still for sale,

01:12:43.960 but I'd have to

01:12:44.780 check on that.

01:12:46.440 If not, I'll

01:12:47.300 get that done.

01:12:48.820 So, the thing I

01:12:49.660 can do now for

01:12:50.960 audiobooks, and

01:12:53.300 Amazon or, let's

01:12:55.900 see, Audible

01:12:56.320 wasn't accepting

01:12:57.220 them, but I

01:12:57.640 think they

01:12:57.920 will.

01:12:58.460 I can use

01:12:59.080 AI now to

01:13:00.240 create a

01:13:00.780 perfect version

01:13:01.820 of me that

01:13:03.200 will speak in

01:13:03.820 every language.

01:13:06.060 So, I can

01:13:06.800 now do the

01:13:07.380 audiobook without

01:13:08.560 reading it.

01:13:09.640 I'll just feed

01:13:10.440 the text into

01:13:11.140 the machine.

01:13:12.280 The machine

01:13:12.760 will become

01:13:13.360 me.

01:13:14.060 It will read

01:13:14.580 it in English,

01:13:15.560 and then I'll

01:13:16.480 just say, all

01:13:17.080 right, give me

01:13:17.460 the Spanish

01:13:18.080 version.

01:13:19.080 It will be

01:13:19.520 my voice in

01:13:21.780 perfect Spanish,

01:13:23.060 in Chinese,

01:13:23.760 et cetera.

01:13:24.860 So, I can

01:13:25.640 translate my

01:13:26.260 book into

01:13:26.640 any language

01:13:27.240 now, but

01:13:29.780 not yet.

01:13:31.660 At the

01:13:32.020 moment, it

01:13:32.440 takes three

01:13:33.080 separate AIs.

01:13:35.420 So, it

01:13:35.920 takes three

01:13:36.420 AI apps, and

01:13:37.740 you would have

01:13:38.080 to really know

01:13:38.560 what you're

01:13:38.840 doing to get

01:13:39.420 it to work.

01:13:40.720 I assume

01:13:41.420 within the

01:13:41.980 year, that's

01:13:43.380 going to be

01:13:43.680 one app.

01:13:45.320 This seems

01:13:45.960 like obvious

01:13:46.540 direction.

01:13:47.560 It would be

01:13:47.900 one app to

01:13:48.580 create a deep

01:13:49.100 fake that can

01:13:49.660 do anything

01:13:50.060 you want.

01:13:51.000 Three apps

01:13:51.560 is crazy.

01:13:53.620 Yeah.

01:13:54.160 All right.

01:13:54.680 So, that's

01:13:55.220 coming.

01:13:55.640 All right.

01:13:56.180 That's all

01:13:56.460 I got for

01:13:56.800 now.

01:13:57.800 YouTube, thanks

01:13:58.520 for joining.

01:14:00.120 I'll see you

01:14:00.640 tomorrow.
