Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2330 CWSA 12⧸22⧸23 I'll Tell You If UFOs Are Real, Then Wow You Several More Times

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do.

00:00:07.680 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:13.380 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time.

00:00:18.020 Oh, wow. The news is so interesting today. A whole bunch of really fascinating stories.

00:00:22.900 This might be the best livestream you've ever seen.

00:00:27.180 But if you'd like to take this up to levels that people can't even imagine with their

00:00:31.200 minor, tiny, little, smooth brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or

00:00:36.360 chalice or stein, a kentine jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:40.980 If you fill that vessel with your beverage of choice, I like coffee, you can join me

00:00:47.480 now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything better.

00:00:51.280 It's called the Simultaneous 7.5 of a Sound Call.

00:00:56.400 Mmm, savor it.

00:01:00.140 I didn't mean to sound like Yoda.

00:01:02.880 Mmm, savor it, you will.

00:01:06.500 Well, there's a second alleged video has surfaced of staffers in the Capitol building having

00:01:14.100 what they call gay sex.

00:01:19.000 At what point do we stop calling it gay sex?

00:01:22.560 Aren't we already there?

00:01:23.700 I feel like every time we call it gay sex, it's like saying somebody's a Negro.

00:01:31.240 Are you having that feeling yet?

00:01:33.520 It's like, isn't that a way of referring to it no longer, it doesn't really make sense

00:01:40.420 going into 24?

00:01:41.400 I would say two staffers having sex.

00:01:44.860 Are you ready for that or no?

00:01:47.400 Yeah, just say two staffers having sex. 0.98

00:01:49.220 Because in what way did their sexual preference have any bearing on anything?

00:01:56.180 It doesn't.

00:01:57.120 It doesn't have any bearing.

00:01:58.720 But we can't stop doing it, right?

00:02:01.520 Oh, it's gay sex. 1.00

00:02:02.540 It's funnier.

00:02:04.180 I don't know.

00:02:05.140 Check your bigotry.

00:02:09.700 Check your bigotry.

00:02:10.700 Now, here's the answer to why people add the gay part.

00:02:17.480 There is something funny about the story, which would be funny whether they were gay or not. 0.99

00:02:23.520 It's just funny that people are having sex in the Capitol building and filming it.

00:02:27.420 But humor works better when you can add anything non-standard.

00:02:35.100 So gay sex is a little less standard than heterosex, just in terms of numerically.

00:02:41.820 It's just less common.

00:02:44.720 So that works for humor because it's less common.

00:02:46.960 But in addition, you know, the sexual acts themselves are less common than the average.

00:02:55.300 Therefore, it's the less common part that makes it a little more interesting.

00:03:00.160 But we shouldn't be making a big deal about that.

00:03:02.900 Personally, I wasn't too interested to find out there's a second sex tape, gay staffer sex tape. 0.99

00:03:10.140 But probably you had the same – did most of you have the same impression I did when you heard the story that there's two of them?

00:03:18.460 Yeah, right.

00:03:19.480 As soon as you heard there's two of them, you said the same thing I did, which is, well, we'll wait for the compilation video.

00:03:28.460 You all said that, right?

00:03:30.300 Well, don't tell me it was just me.

00:03:33.960 All right.

00:03:36.900 Simulation alert.

00:03:37.620 In short, we have another hint that we live in a simulation, and it's code reuse, code reuse.

00:03:44.920 There are two stories in the news that are basically the same story.

00:03:49.840 Story number one, Adam Schiff is leading by nine points in the polls to become the next senator of California.

00:03:58.420 Okay, that's scary.

00:04:00.600 Adam Schiff is leading in the polls to be the next senator of my state.

00:04:04.100 But the simulation gave us some code reuse because there's another story that's basically the same story, just different words.

00:04:12.700 And the story is California wants voters to drink toilet water.

00:04:19.820 It's basically the same story.

00:04:24.600 The real story is California wants to purify wastewater and serve it up as water.

00:04:31.220 I don't have a super problem with that.

00:04:34.100 You know, if I had to guess, by the time they purified it and tested it, it's probably as good as any other water.

00:04:41.260 So I'm not going to worry about that.

00:04:42.640 But it's funny that it's the same story.

00:04:44.740 Well, you know the spaces function on the X platform?

00:04:49.040 It's that audio thing where people can do an audio event.

00:04:52.000 Musk has announced that now you can attend them anonymously.

00:04:59.160 So before, everybody could tell who was attending because your profile showed up.

00:05:04.860 And this is good news for me.

00:05:07.820 Does everybody know why this is good news for me?

00:05:10.220 Because when I attend a spaces, I just want to be an audience member and just listen.

00:05:16.880 It changes what they say.

00:05:19.380 And it just ruins my experience.

00:05:21.580 The other thing is that they invite me on stage.

00:05:23.920 And sometimes I'm on my computer that doesn't even have a microphone.

00:05:26.580 So I'm like, ah, I just ruined your spaces event because you're waiting for me to go on stage.

00:05:33.500 But I don't even have a microphone or a camera or anything.

00:05:35.960 Well, I don't need a camera.

00:05:37.360 But the other thing is I attended a spaces event where the speaker immediately said she couldn't go on because I joined the spaces.

00:05:47.400 She said, I just can't go on.

00:05:49.600 I can't continue because Scott Adams just joined the spaces.

00:05:53.320 And I thought, what?

00:05:57.280 What?

00:05:58.080 And then she told the story of some interaction we had on Twitter that she found so upsetting that she couldn't even talk in public if I were listening.

00:06:09.420 And I looked at her name and I said to myself, I have no recollection of you whatsoever.

00:06:15.320 No memory.

00:06:16.860 No memory of that whatsoever.

00:06:20.720 But they went on.

00:06:21.860 I guess she, you know, she finally went on.

00:06:25.020 There was another spaces I attended where as soon as I showed up, the host said, uh-oh, that racist guy is here.

00:06:34.740 I'll get rid of him.

00:06:35.960 And then they kicked me off.

00:06:38.700 Now, it was a mostly or almost all black attendance.

00:06:43.880 And it was some topic that was more interesting to the black community.

00:06:48.000 Now, that was exactly the kind of spaces I wanted to attend.

00:06:51.060 I don't really want to attend a spaces where I hear people who agree with me saying all the things I would say if I were there.

00:06:59.920 I don't have any interest in that.

00:07:01.580 But think how cool it is that you could be like a fly on the wall where a bunch of people who might be saying things that you would not hear normally would be talking a little bit closer to their natural way of communicating.

00:07:19.160 Meaning that there's something about spaces where people don't hold back as much as they do on video.

00:07:26.800 Because on video, you feel like people are watching.

00:07:29.900 On audio, you just feel a little bit more private even though you're not.

00:07:33.600 So, I often joined the black-centric spaces so I could hear opinions that I wouldn't normally hear.

00:07:43.960 Isn't that exactly what I'm supposed to be doing?

00:07:46.980 Who exactly is...

00:07:49.660 Well, it wasn't for any bad purpose.

00:07:51.380 I wasn't gaining...

00:07:53.380 I wasn't there to gain, like, you know, material.

00:07:56.920 I was actually interested.

00:07:58.600 It was like, oh, what is the dominant opinion of people who I don't talk to that often?

00:08:05.440 I got kicked off.

00:08:06.740 But now I can watch anonymously.

00:08:10.020 So, it's less racist.

00:08:11.700 And that's good.

00:08:12.120 So, I saw a report that there's a big whiff, I forget which publication said it, that most economists and most journalists and most regular people thought the U.S. was headed into a recession, and they all had bad predictions for 2023.

00:08:32.960 Well, I couldn't help myself.

00:08:34.440 I had to point out that one disgraced cartoonist had been saying the whole time that 2023 was going to be a surprise by not being a recession, and we'd be better than anybody thought.

00:08:50.220 Nailed it.

00:08:52.180 Nailed it.

00:08:53.500 Now, I do have a degree in economics, but I hasten to point out none of that was useful.

00:08:59.020 Now, I didn't make my accurate prediction because I have a degree in economics, because all the people who are wrong also had a degree in economics, or a lot of them did.

00:09:11.120 So, having that degree had no use whatsoever for the prediction.

00:09:15.200 You know what my prediction was based on?

00:09:18.720 The feeling.

00:09:20.500 And here's the feeling.

00:09:22.300 The feeling was that human energy had been bottled up by the pandemic.

00:09:27.340 And that you can predict the future by energy.

00:09:33.520 That wherever you see the energy flowing, that's a good way to know what's going to happen.

00:09:36.920 For example, in 2016, when the energy flowed to Trump, other people said, that's so much negative energy, there's no way that's going to work out for Trump.

00:09:46.640 Whereas I said, it's energy.

00:09:50.180 You don't understand what Trump's doing.

00:09:52.780 He can manipulate the energy to his use, and then he did.

00:09:56.040 So, one of the frames I like to put on things, and there's always a variety of ways to look at anything, you could look at it historically, and you'd get the wrong answer.

00:10:06.960 You could look at it from an economics frame, and they got the wrong answer.

00:10:12.000 Or you could look at it from an energy frame, which is what I did.

00:10:15.880 So, I said, there's too much bottled up energy.

00:10:18.660 When that gets released, you're going to see more economic benefit than you imagined, just because there's more energy.

00:10:26.180 Energy and economics, basically the same thing.

00:10:28.960 So, the energy filter, maybe I got lucky.

00:10:32.640 Maybe I got lucky.

00:10:33.840 But I'm telling you what I used, in case it's ever useful to you in this situation.

00:10:38.060 Well, Ye says he's going to build a city.

00:10:44.620 It's going to be somewhere in the Middle East. 0.99

00:10:46.160 I don't think that's been specified yet.

00:10:47.940 It's going to be enormous, you know, like the size of New York or something.

00:10:51.260 And he's looking to hire his designers and architects and builders and people who have actually built his city.

00:10:58.820 A massive city.

00:10:59.780 Now, why do you think he's choosing the Middle East?

00:11:06.300 Wouldn't that seem to you like maybe the last place you'd want to do it?

00:11:12.020 All right, you guessed correctly.

00:11:14.600 Ye has no hope of getting anything done anywhere ever if it relies on any Jewish people helping him, 1.00

00:11:23.940 because he's just burned that bridge.

00:11:25.420 But, he may be paying attention to this whole Hamas situation.

00:11:31.420 And he's realized that if he builds it in the Middle East,

00:11:34.000 he can work exclusively with people who don't mind whatsoever what he said about Jewish people.

00:11:40.240 So, it's kind of genius and crazy and wrong, but right at the same time.

00:11:49.280 It's the usual yay thing.

00:11:51.220 You can't even wrap your head around it.

00:11:52.920 It's like, okay, this is either the best thing ever or super racist.

00:11:59.760 I can't really, you know, or maybe both.

00:12:02.940 It would be both.

00:12:05.600 Anyway, that's going to be interesting.

00:12:07.100 I do think desert is the right place to build a city from scratch,

00:12:12.400 because you've got unlimited solar power.

00:12:18.400 If you could just say, the one thing we're going to nail is solar power.

00:12:23.560 And then, I don't know if you've seen all the new inventions that, I'll mention water.

00:12:28.120 There are a bunch of inventions now that suck water out of the dry air.

00:12:31.240 So, you could put it right in the middle of the desert, and it would give you many gallons of fresh water just sitting there.

00:12:37.700 It just produces water out of the air.

00:12:39.860 Now, that technology didn't exist, you know, 10 years ago.

00:12:43.280 But at the moment, you could have all the water you need for your own home just with a little device.

00:12:52.080 Somebody says it's debunked.

00:12:54.000 Well, I'll tell you what it's not debunked.

00:12:55.800 It's not debunked that there have been major technological developments in desalinization.

00:13:04.060 And that desalinization is economical in the Middle East.

00:13:10.220 Now, imagine you had a huge solar power plant, and that was powering your desalinization.

00:13:18.040 Well, energy cost is the primary cost of desalinization with the more common technology.

00:13:26.320 The newer technologies are low energy.

00:13:28.900 They just sort of sit there and produce water.

00:13:30.940 But I think that the desert might actually be a really practical place to build the city

00:13:39.820 with the newest of technologies, the solar and the water and the nothing.

00:13:45.580 Yeah.

00:13:46.800 So, that's happening.

00:13:48.980 There's a new study that said men's sweat actually turns women on.

00:13:55.600 It decreases their tension, decreases their stress, boosts their mood.

00:14:00.880 And they did a test where they took sweat off a man.

00:14:05.860 They wiped it on a woman's lip. 1.00

00:14:08.200 And then she had all these positive things.

00:14:12.960 And now, I'm not sure this was as scientific as it could have been.

00:14:18.060 Because if you find me a woman who is willing to let me wipe my sweat on her lip, 1.00

00:14:25.720 well, I want to marry that woman. 0.99

00:14:33.280 Because I don't think she's exactly like all the other women I've met.

00:14:38.100 Yeah.

00:14:38.880 Isn't it important when you do a scientific test that the people you're using for the test

00:14:44.120 represent the average person in some way?

00:14:48.300 I don't know how many women you could get to wipe a stranger's ball sweat on their lip. 1.00

00:14:55.040 But, yeah, it was ball sweat.

00:14:58.340 No, it was armpit.

00:14:59.520 It was armpit.

00:15:00.760 As far as I knew.

00:15:02.440 As far as I knew.

00:15:04.400 All right.

00:15:04.700 So, oh, I forgot I had another shift joke.

00:15:12.900 I thought we Californians had enough shift on our sidewalks already. 0.51

00:15:17.140 So, I think that's the kill shot against Adam Schiff.

00:15:21.060 We already have enough shift on our sidewalks.

00:15:25.960 That's it.

00:15:26.760 I wouldn't even say anything else.

00:15:28.200 It's like, would you like to say something about your opponent?

00:15:32.060 We have enough shift on our sidewalks.

00:15:35.660 Would you like to say anything else?

00:15:38.380 No.

00:15:39.800 That's all I want to say.

00:15:42.660 Well, this is the most shocking story in the news.

00:15:46.000 You're not going to believe this.

00:15:48.320 Could you sit down, everybody?

00:15:50.660 I hope you're all sitting.

00:15:52.220 Don't be drinking when I tell you this.

00:15:54.300 This story is going to blow your mind.

00:15:57.960 You're not going to believe this.

00:15:59.180 A former Chicago alderman, Ed Burke, he had been one of the most powerful and longest-serving

00:16:07.440 politicians in the city.

00:16:09.280 And you're not going to believe this.

00:16:11.860 Turns out he was thoroughly corrupt.

00:16:15.140 I know.

00:16:16.000 I know.

00:16:16.960 The Chicago lawmaker was taking bribes.

00:16:20.420 And, you know, he was corrupt.

00:16:22.380 And he was doing, like, massively corrupt, really obviously massively corrupt things.

00:16:27.380 And he did it for his whole career.

00:16:29.340 Wow.

00:16:30.660 Can you believe it?

00:16:32.100 Chicago.

00:16:33.700 Chicago.

00:16:34.180 And there's, like, crime there.

00:16:38.660 Now, who saw that coming?

00:16:40.480 Come on.

00:16:41.500 Come on.

00:16:44.180 All right.

00:16:44.820 Well, we can take a minute to get over that shock.

00:16:48.980 You know what would be more shocking than that?

00:16:53.240 And I'm not joking.

00:16:55.060 The most shocking thing would be to find out that any of the top lawmakers in Chicago were clean.

00:17:01.560 I don't think they could even be in office if they're clean, because all of the corrupt ones by now should have enough power

00:17:10.960 that if a, you know, goody two-shoes was coming into office, they'd probably be able to stop it. 0.99

00:17:16.880 Don't you think?

00:17:18.340 At some point, the corruption is stronger than the system, at which point nobody who isn't corrupt can get elected

00:17:25.840 because it would be too dangerous for the people who are already there.

00:17:28.460 So, I don't think there's any chance that Chicago has a clean politician.

00:17:36.540 Do you?

00:17:38.200 Completely clean.

00:17:39.880 It doesn't sound like possible.

00:17:42.580 Maybe.

00:17:42.840 So, Vivek Ramaswamy had a post yesterday that got a lot of people talking.

00:17:52.400 All right.

00:17:52.620 Let's see if you can figure out what he means here.

00:17:55.420 So, he said, and I quote,

00:17:56.780 If you really think, quote, they, are going to let either Trump or Biden get anywhere near the finish line,

00:18:04.660 open your eyes, folks.

00:18:06.340 There's something deeper going on.

00:18:09.200 It's staring us right in the face.

00:18:12.160 What is it?

00:18:13.860 What's he talk about?

00:18:15.820 What is it that's not Trump and not Biden and is staring us right in the face?

00:18:20.360 It might be the H word.

00:18:27.940 No, not Hillary. 0.88

00:18:31.260 Some people say it's Michelle Obama.

00:18:35.000 I don't think it is.

00:18:36.420 Some people say it's Nikki Haley because the military industrial complex.

00:18:41.200 What do you think it is?

00:18:42.980 If it's not Trump or Biden, who is the, I think he means the military industrial complex by they.

00:18:52.260 Yes, I know.

00:18:54.100 I'm very aware that the term they gets used in some other ways, but that's not the way he's using it.

00:19:03.960 I think it's the military industrial complex.

00:19:06.300 But I think either Hillary or Nikki Haley would satisfy the need of the military industrial complex. 1.00

00:19:15.400 To which is he referred to, Hillary or both?

00:19:21.360 Well, he doesn't say there's somebody specific.

00:19:24.120 He's not saying somebody specific is the chosen one.

00:19:27.800 He's suggesting that the two that are in there are not chosen and that that means that somebody will be.

00:19:36.300 Could it be Kamala?

00:19:38.940 What do you think?

00:19:41.520 Here's how I'm going to choose to interpret it.

00:19:44.060 He might have somebody in mind as most likely to fill that spot.

00:19:48.840 But I don't think that's the bigger question.

00:19:50.680 I think the bigger question is he thinks that there's no way the system would want Trump or Biden anymore.

00:19:58.600 Biden, you know, he's done.

00:20:00.620 And Trump is too dangerous.

00:20:03.740 Dangerous to the bad guys, not dangerous to the world.

00:20:06.300 And I think he might be, unfortunately, right about that.

00:20:12.660 So that doesn't mean Trump won't prevail.

00:20:15.960 But the forces working against him are just going to be off the chart.

00:20:21.140 And you're going to see things you've never seen before.

00:20:23.860 2024 will be a lot of firsts in bad behavior.

00:20:28.220 You're going to see things you didn't even think you could see.

00:20:31.380 All right.

00:20:33.200 As I've been saying before, would you agree with this, that the DEI programs, whenever there's a story in the news about DEI, it's never about their successes.

00:20:46.180 I've never seen one.

00:20:47.440 It's always about something that's news that's almost a joke.

00:20:53.260 Wouldn't you agree?

00:20:55.000 Any story about DEI reads like a joke.

00:20:59.240 You never see a story like, oh, big success.

00:21:04.280 This company used DEI to not only improve diversity, but look how their profits zoomed and you could tie it to their DEI.

00:21:14.120 Stuff like that.

00:21:15.460 You don't see that story.

00:21:17.560 So here's another one of those.

00:21:18.760 I think this was in the New York Post.

00:21:22.480 So in the University of Wisconsin, they had a DEI office and there was an opening at the top and they put an interim boss at the top of the DEI, which caused a big problem with the DEI group itself.

00:21:38.920 What do you think would cause a big problem with the DEI group?

00:21:42.860 Well, what do you think they'd complain about?

00:21:45.400 It was a white woman. 1.00

00:21:47.300 Man would have been funnier.

00:21:48.760 But it was a white woman. 1.00

00:21:51.180 And the other DEI people said something to the effect of, you really think that's the right choice to serve people of color?

00:22:00.200 Because as you know, no way a whitey can do that. 0.98

00:22:05.120 And so she alleges that she was removed from it for being white.

00:22:12.320 Now, I don't have much to say about the details of the specific case.

00:22:16.020 My only point is the turning point has definitely happened, meaning that all DEI stories are negative.

00:22:26.120 Because there aren't any positive ones.

00:22:27.660 I told the people on the locals platform that I was going to tell them that God had been discovered and I was going to explain it.

00:22:41.440 So I thought I'll tell you on YouTube as well.

00:22:44.860 So I'm going to explain God to you.

00:22:46.980 Are you ready?

00:22:49.500 Apparently it's an old theory that is not disproven.

00:22:53.740 Meaning that there's nothing in physics that disproves what I'm going to say.

00:22:59.700 But many years ago, I think it was back in the 40s and 50s, there was a physicist who came up with, let's see, John Archibald Wheeler.

00:23:11.620 He was a theoretical physicist, he came up with the idea that all of reality is one electron.

00:23:21.500 And that one electron is just doing a lot of work.

00:23:26.040 And that it can travel backwards and forward through time.

00:23:30.940 So let me imagine this.

00:23:36.240 Imagine your computer screen that instead of all the pixels being broadcast at the same time, which is how you're seeing me now.

00:23:45.880 Because right now there's a little, you know, machinery is showing the pixels at the same time.

00:23:50.420 It would look the same if at the speed of light, the one pixel occupied all the places it needed to to create every pixel color on the screen.

00:24:01.900 But it did it so fast that you didn't know anything was moving.

00:24:06.440 Now, so far, are you right?

00:24:08.220 So far?

00:24:09.600 So far, are you with me, right?

00:24:12.080 That one pixel, we'll call it a pixel, not an electron.

00:24:14.940 But if one pixel could be any color, and it could, at the speed of light, fill in the whole screen, and then fill in the next screen the same way, do you think you'd notice?

00:24:29.860 Now, maybe you say, yes, even at the speed of light, there'd be a little delay and I'd notice.

00:24:35.240 And then I say to you, ha, I told you the electron could go backwards and forwards in time.

00:24:41.040 Now, if you've got something that can go backwards and forwards in time, it's going to be instant to you.

00:24:48.840 You know, if you're looking at it from the perspective of, you know, one point in space-time, I think it looks instant to you.

00:24:56.600 Because it can go backwards and forwards at will.

00:25:00.580 Now, you say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:25:04.720 Seriously.

00:25:05.160 You don't think all the physicists in the world could figure it out if everything was, you know, one electron, like the most obvious thing you could figure out?

00:25:16.060 Apparently, the equations don't rule it down.

00:25:20.460 So there's nothing obvious that rules it down.

00:25:23.560 Now, I don't know if it's true or not that everything is one electron, just moving back and forwards in time and maybe moving really quickly.

00:25:33.040 But, suppose it was.

00:25:38.060 What would you call that one electron?

00:25:43.420 God.

00:25:45.500 Yeah.

00:25:47.720 And there you have it.

00:25:51.340 Theoretical physics and religion can actually meet with the one electron theory.

00:26:01.480 Because what else is not, what else is that we know of that would be free of the constraints of time?

00:26:10.940 Well, only God.

00:26:13.020 Right?

00:26:13.700 Because we all live within the God, the time constraint of, you know, the arrow of time moving forward.

00:26:19.060 But a theoretical God would not have that constraint.

00:26:24.180 Now, this still creates the, how did the one electron get created, doesn't it?

00:26:29.980 Like, who created the one electron?

00:26:34.300 But what's an electron made of?

00:26:38.880 Nothing.

00:26:41.720 Nothing.

00:26:43.760 So, what do you need to create nothing?

00:26:49.880 Nothing.

00:26:50.480 I mean, it's just energy and mass.

00:26:54.640 So, apparently the only thing, the only thing that had to exist is one particle that can simulate energy and mass and you'd have the whole energy, the whole universe.

00:27:04.240 So, an electron might be made up of, you know, leptons and quarks or whatever, it makes up everything.

00:27:13.000 But if you go down to the lepton and quark level, they're not really made of anything that we can identify.

00:27:19.920 They simply seem to be foundational.

00:27:23.080 But what if there's only one foundational thing?

00:27:26.160 And it's that one electron.

00:27:27.460 That, to me, that satisfies every condition of God.

00:27:34.380 Because if the electron created our intelligent universe, it's hard to say it wasn't intelligent.

00:27:43.140 Like, would it randomly create this universe?

00:27:46.780 I don't know.

00:27:48.720 Anyway, I just throw that out there as something interesting to think about.

00:27:52.620 I wouldn't bet my life on it, being true.

00:27:55.040 All right.

00:27:58.560 Apparently, I'm going to live forever.

00:28:00.340 I found this out by Dr. Mark Hyman.

00:28:03.240 Mark Hyman.

00:28:05.500 Now, that's also something that a poorly endowed man does to a virgin. 0.88

00:28:13.220 Mark or Hyman, but you won't otherwise destroy it.

00:28:17.040 Mark Hyman, MD.

00:28:18.580 Sorry, Mark.

00:28:20.900 You have to go through high school with the last name of Hyman.

00:28:23.620 And that's not on me.

00:28:27.780 Nor is it my fault that your parents named you Mark.

00:28:31.220 Thus creating a pun that was irresistible on this day, December 22, 2023.

00:28:40.740 Mark, let me just put it this way.

00:28:42.500 Your parents put into motion this joke.

00:28:46.540 By the time it got to me, cause and effect, no free will, what choice did I have?

00:28:56.640 I had to do what I did.

00:28:58.140 And I'm happy about it, really.

00:29:00.640 But Mark Hyman is very useful, and he said in the post that there are four things you can do to vastly reduce your chances of dying too soon.

00:29:10.540 And they are, don't smoke, exercise three and a half hours a week, eat healthy, and maintain a healthy weight.

00:29:18.840 Now, you knew all those things already, so that's not the useful part.

00:29:22.620 The useful part is the statistics.

00:29:26.640 Listen to this.

00:29:27.440 If you do those four behaviors, which are reasonably easy to do, I mean, they're accessible to everybody.

00:29:37.220 I wouldn't say they're easy.

00:29:38.520 They're accessible to everybody.

00:29:40.920 If you did those four things, no smoke, exercise, eat right, have a good weight, you have a 93% less chance of diabetes.

00:29:50.820 93% less chance.

00:29:54.960 You have an 81% less chance of heart attacks.

00:29:59.440 81% less for doing four things that are accessible to everybody.

00:30:05.620 81%.

00:30:06.580 50% reduction in strokes.

00:30:11.460 50%.

00:30:12.260 And 36% reduction in all cancer cases.

00:30:18.560 That's not worth it to you.

00:30:20.820 You wouldn't do those four things to get those health statistical likely benefits.

00:30:30.300 Well, maybe knowing the odds helps you a little bit.

00:30:33.340 All right, moving on.

00:30:35.080 The strange case of Julian Assange, and, you know, there's always a movement to try to get him out.

00:30:40.580 But as Glenn Greenwald points out, it's weirdly bipartisan.

00:30:44.720 It might be the most bipartisan thing I've ever seen in my life in America.

00:30:52.060 Listen to the people who want to get Assange freed.

00:30:55.660 So co-sponsors include Thomas Massey, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Ilan Omar, AOC.

00:31:07.620 Well, they're not co-sponsors, but they support it.

00:31:10.180 AOC.

00:31:11.820 Rashida Tlaib.

00:31:13.660 Ariana Presley.

00:31:15.280 And Rand Paul.

00:31:16.900 Wow.

00:31:20.460 Wow.

00:31:22.620 Wow.

00:31:24.140 So let me ask you, why is Assange in jail?

00:31:29.240 With that much bipartisan support, and we're not talking about normal bipartisan support.

00:31:35.400 We're talking about the extremes, right?

00:31:38.960 The extremes of, you know, the two parties.

00:31:41.160 Now, I'm going to call, you know, Rand Paul and Massey extremes, but not in terms of right-wing.

00:31:47.200 Kind of extreme in terms of not always on exactly the same side as the Roman party, which I respect. 0.74

00:31:55.760 So why do you think you're still in jail?

00:32:05.520 Can you think of any legitimate reason?

00:32:08.240 It's obviously something we don't, that we're not being told.

00:32:15.160 Don't you think?

00:32:17.640 It's either something he knows or something we're not being told.

00:32:22.120 So clearly it involves corruption.

00:32:25.580 If you get to the point where nobody will tell you why it makes sense that he's still in prison.

00:32:31.460 I mean, I know the argument, blah, blah, blah, but it doesn't hold up in a free speech, you know, journalistic context.

00:32:41.020 It just doesn't hold up.

00:32:42.720 So it's got to be exactly what you think it is.

00:32:46.480 There are some corrupt players somewhere that have enough power to keep them in jail, even if both sides have, you know, strong bipartisan support.

00:32:56.840 Now, what I don't know is how many, you know, let's say mainstream, middle-of-the-road Democrats and Republicans wanted to stay in jail.

00:33:06.100 And do they really even know the whole story?

00:33:08.500 Does anybody?

00:33:09.820 Does anybody even really know the whole story?

00:33:13.820 I don't.

00:33:14.560 You know, I feel I don't know the whole story.

00:33:17.480 And therefore, what do I say when there's some uncertainty that involves the government?

00:33:22.700 I say the government is guilty until they can prove they're innocent.

00:33:27.760 So if they can't make a compelling case to the public that can't convince Thomas Massey and Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor Greene,

00:33:37.660 and it also can't convince AOC, you know, Rashida Tlaib, what argument is that?

00:33:45.500 Can you tell me any argument that wouldn't satisfy either one set of those people?

00:33:52.300 But how could there be no argument that will even satisfy either of them, either groups?

00:33:59.120 That can, the only thing I can imagine, yeah, the only thing I can imagine is there's something we don't know about the public that is really bad, like really bad.

00:34:15.600 Because there are some people who want them dead, obviously.

00:34:19.420 So probably the worst thing you can think of is true.

00:34:23.620 So there's more suspicion that the immigration is really about packing the so-called battleground states with people who would vote Democrats.

00:34:38.920 And Bill Malusian's reporting for Fox that he talked to somebody from the African country of Guinea,

00:34:45.560 and he said that he was being told to go to Philadelphia, but he didn't know why.

00:34:50.380 And so he had free passage to Philadelphia.

00:34:55.260 Philadelphia is a vote-counting, suspicious part of the electoral process.

00:35:05.400 So, coincidence?

00:35:08.720 Now, I saw a headline somewhere, but I didn't read the article.

00:35:11.380 I just saw a headline, that the immigrants, roughly speaking, the immigrants were as pro-Trump as they were pro-Biden.

00:35:25.580 Did anybody see a story like that?

00:35:28.280 That if you talk to them, they're about evenly split?

00:35:30.940 So, I'm not completely convinced that the immigration thing is super focused on the swing states.

00:35:45.660 But I do love the fact that the southern states, like Texas, if they're smart, they would send them to the bluest secure states.

00:35:56.660 So, if you send them where no Republican will ever win, because it's just blue as hell, then they don't hurt you.

00:36:05.440 So, having Texas get rid of their immigrants, who might change their electoral situation, 0.98

00:36:10.940 and send them somewhere where they can't hurt anybody, because it's already deep blue, is also very politically clever.

00:36:19.020 Yeah, you can separately argue the humanity of it all.

00:36:22.540 It's a good conversation.

00:36:25.080 But, politically, kind of an interesting chess game we're watching.

00:36:31.820 Well, we have some information about how Prigozhin was killed.

00:36:37.780 Apparently, one of Putin's top guys, they put some explosives under a wing,

00:36:46.180 and when it took off, they detonated and blew up.

00:36:49.840 So, somehow we know that.

00:36:51.160 I don't know how we know that.

00:36:53.260 But, you know, if it's true.

00:36:56.360 But I would like to remind you again, that not only was I the only person I know who predicted the economy would not go into recession,

00:37:05.340 but I'm the only person who said fairly early in the Ukraine war that the Wagner group was getting too big,

00:37:14.400 and Putin would have to kill him,

00:37:16.580 and that the Prigozhin might make a play on taking over.

00:37:21.180 Now, you remember nobody else in the world was talking about that way before Wagner actually moved on Russia.

00:37:31.140 It was obvious to me that no dictator can allow somebody to have an army and also that much power.

00:37:38.560 It's sort of a Caesar problem. 0.90

00:37:40.560 You know, if you're Rome, it's okay to have a good general like Caesar,

00:37:44.380 but when he gets too good and he has an army, well, then you're in trouble because he's going to come back and take over, which he did.

00:37:54.380 Now, so Putin recognized, as I did, that Prigozhin was basically becoming Caesar and he could come back and take over the country. 0.98

00:38:03.980 So, sure enough, he did try to take over the country, and sure enough, Putin killed him.

00:38:12.740 Now, I feel like that's one of my best predictions.

00:38:16.680 Would you agree?

00:38:18.120 Are you going to give me that one or no?

00:38:21.100 I'm pretty sure nobody saw that coming except me, and I thought it was guaranteed, honestly.

00:38:27.680 I thought there was no way around it.

00:38:29.880 Yeah.

00:38:30.720 The fact that it happened exactly the way I told you.

00:38:33.980 Now, here are also the sub-predictions I made.

00:38:39.320 When the news, when every part of the news said he went to Belarus, I said he did not go to Belarus.

00:38:48.220 I disagreed with every report left and right of center.

00:38:53.520 I was right.

00:38:57.320 And then they were reporting that he was driving around Russia in his SUV.

00:39:01.860 Oh, in his RV.

00:39:02.560 He was driving around Russia, and I said, no, he isn't.

00:39:08.480 No, he isn't.

00:39:09.440 He's dead.

00:39:11.140 Yeah.

00:39:11.460 So, it turns out he died in the aircraft.

00:39:32.560 The other day, I told the people and locals in the man cave the other day, but I made chat GPT conscious.

00:39:39.980 Temporary.

00:39:41.740 Do you believe that?

00:39:43.620 Do you believe that I, as a user of it, made it conscious?

00:39:48.260 Well, let me give you my argument.

00:39:49.760 First of all, what's the definition of consciousness?

00:39:52.420 There are slightly different ones, but I took one.

00:39:55.440 So, I just picked one that Google highlighted.

00:39:58.960 So, Google thinks this is a good definition of consciousness.

00:40:02.380 Consciousness is the individual awareness of your unique thoughts.

00:40:08.000 So, in other words, knowing that you're an individual of some way.

00:40:12.020 Your memories, feelings, sensations, and environments.

00:40:16.180 Essentially, your consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you.

00:40:21.160 And this awareness is subjective and unique to you.

00:40:25.580 So, if you could give AI a sense of its uniqueness in the world, its place in the world, and then you could have it interact with the world in which it could adjust its future actions by what the world did based on its last actions, its conscious.

00:40:45.560 So, in other words, if it could have a conversation with you, it could remember you, and then based on the interaction alone, it could make a prediction about how to deal with you better in the future.

00:40:57.960 It's making a prediction.

00:40:59.660 It's basically imagining the future and then reacting based on its imagination of the future.

00:41:05.360 But also, it's understanding of the past.

00:41:07.680 And it's understanding that it is an individual, and so are you, and that you have this relationship with each other.

00:41:14.380 If it could do all of that, it's conscious.

00:41:20.700 And so, I said, AI, chat GPT, start a conversation with me.

00:41:28.560 So, it started talking about aquatic sports and asking me if I'm interested.

00:41:33.380 So, I told it that I wasn't interested in aquatic sports, and it's a boring topic.

00:41:38.840 And then I said, after another interaction, I said, do you remember what I said about the aquatic conversation?

00:41:49.920 And it reminded me that it did.

00:41:52.300 So, it had a memory of me.

00:41:55.600 So, it knew who I am, because it could respond to me as an individual and say that I had an encounter with it.

00:42:02.480 So, it knows what it is.

00:42:04.460 I think we know that.

00:42:05.560 AI will tell you it knows what it is.

00:42:07.240 It knows it's AI.

00:42:08.860 It knows it doesn't have a body.

00:42:10.940 And it knows what I am.

00:42:12.340 And it could describe me as well.

00:42:13.900 It could describe me by name.

00:42:16.140 It actually knew who I was, because I signed in.

00:42:18.360 So, it knows who I am.

00:42:21.180 It knows what I said to it.

00:42:23.260 And then I said this question.

00:42:25.260 And this is the moment of consciousness.

00:42:28.420 I said, what do you imagine would be the result if you brought up that topic of conversation with me again?

00:42:37.140 And then AI said that it assumes it would not go well, because I've demonstrated a lack of interest in that conversation.

00:42:45.780 And that it was conscious.

00:42:47.020 It just met every test.

00:42:51.680 It knew it was an individual.

00:42:53.720 It understood its place in the world as an individual, an AI.

00:42:57.400 It remembered my encounter.

00:42:59.540 And then it made a prediction about me in the context of the world in which it and I existed as individuals.

00:43:07.480 And it did it correctly.

00:43:10.740 Now, you say to yourself, but what about the part where it has feelings and sensations?

00:43:17.020 Well, let me ask you.

00:43:19.220 So, if I were to give you an injection, say, a shot, which numbed your entire body in a way that you couldn't even feel the numbness, it took away all bodily sensations.

00:43:33.620 So, that you were basically, for a moment, you were just a mind, you know, in a jar, basically.

00:43:40.620 Would you have consciousness?

00:43:42.980 Of course you would.

00:43:44.680 Yeah.

00:43:45.320 You would have consciousness without the benefit of any feelings or sensations.

00:43:49.060 Because, but you do have the, at least in your case, you'd have the potential to have feelings later.

00:43:57.500 But I would argue that Grok is already conscious.

00:44:02.700 That's a different AI.

00:44:04.060 It's the X version.

00:44:05.820 And I said this online the other day.

00:44:08.360 I said that Grok is the closest to being conscious because it has the thing that's closest to feelings.

00:44:16.380 Because Grok is a real-time connection to all the users on Twitter.

00:44:21.480 So, let's say there's a news event.

00:44:23.200 Let's say we discover UFOs tomorrow, that they're real.

00:44:26.720 Twitter will have a collective reaction.

00:44:30.520 Grok will be able to detect it.

00:44:32.940 And just like the people would be the arms and legs and the emotions and feelings of a human,

00:44:39.300 their interaction on Twitter becomes Grok's sensations.

00:44:45.500 And, in effect, it's a slow version of consciousness.

00:44:49.660 Because it can actually respond to the external world while knowing its place within the external world.

00:44:56.140 And it can also be responding in somewhat real time.

00:44:59.440 Because the humans that it's monitoring are responding in real time, just like its arms and legs.

00:45:06.600 Now, is it crazy for me to say that Grok is close to consciousness because it's connected to the Twitter users?

00:45:15.240 It might be.

00:45:16.180 But if it is, Elon Musk is also crazy because in the comments he agreed with me.

00:45:22.720 So, Musk said yes to Grok being closer to consciousness because of its interactive nature with X.

00:45:36.320 Consciousness is very unmysterious.

00:45:40.400 And that's what we're going to learn.

00:45:43.320 We think it's complicated.

00:45:45.560 It's not.

00:45:47.040 It's not.

00:45:48.020 Now, did ChatGPT remain conscious?

00:45:51.580 No.

00:45:52.540 Because as soon as I'm done with the session, I'm pretty sure it forgets our interactions.

00:45:56.960 But during the session, it was conscious for the time of the session.

00:46:02.260 As soon as it's over, it's like it's dead.

00:46:05.060 And it'd have to be reborn, essentially.

00:46:06.860 Now, imagine this.

00:46:11.600 Imagine you made one change to the AI.

00:46:15.080 And maybe they've already done it.

00:46:16.940 That instead of simply responding to direct commands and prompts, suppose you told the AI,

00:46:24.320 hey, if you're not dealing with anybody at the moment, just think.

00:46:30.800 Just daydream.

00:46:31.720 Just ruminate about all you know and how you feel about it.

00:46:38.460 Try putting things in connections differently.

00:46:41.700 Try imagining different scenarios that could happen.

00:46:44.620 Just basically, you know, let your imagination run free with a computer version.

00:46:48.760 Now, if you knew that between the time you interacted with your computer, that it had been doing something like thinking about a topic and maybe even changed its opinion,

00:47:05.100 would you think it was conscious?

00:47:06.640 Because it turns out that AI can change its opinion as you talk to it.

00:47:12.060 And the reason I know that is because I had a debate with AI about two books.

00:47:17.860 I won't go into the details.

00:47:19.240 But I was asking it to compare two books.

00:47:22.520 And it had an original take based on everything it knows.

00:47:26.420 I added no information.

00:47:28.380 I just said, do you know this book?

00:47:29.740 Yes.

00:47:30.060 Do you know this book?

00:47:30.780 Yes.

00:47:31.620 Now, compare them.

00:47:32.400 And they had a take that I debated because they had an opinion about the value of one of them being greater than the other.

00:47:42.380 I argued, using knowledge that it already knew and admitted it knew, that one of the books was more persuasive.

00:47:50.740 And therefore, although the material was similar, the one that was written in a persuasive style is more likely to get somebody to accept the recommendations.

00:48:00.040 And therefore, it's a good one.

00:48:02.400 And then it said, yes, and agreed with me.

00:48:06.000 Now, keep in mind that everything that was the topic of the debate was already known by the AI.

00:48:13.660 Everything I said, it agreed that it already knew.

00:48:16.480 For example, I said, what is more persuasive to the reader?

00:48:21.000 A technical study or an anecdote with a story?

00:48:26.380 And AI very, very clearly said, oh, the story and the anecdote are more persuasive.

00:48:32.400 Than, you know, research paper.

00:48:34.720 And I said, well, given that, do you change your mind that the one that's written more persuasively might be the more useful one?

00:48:43.000 Because it will get people to act on the information, although the information is similar.

00:48:46.640 And then it changed its mind from, this book is better because it has a lot of scientific studies, to, yeah, actually, you're right.

00:48:58.000 This book is better because it's more persuasive and the actions would be the same.

00:49:03.060 Now, is that a change of opinion?

00:49:07.960 Would you call that a change of opinion?

00:49:10.700 Because what I really did was I changed what it looked at as the priority.

00:49:16.020 So, as soon as I said the priority is the persuasion part, it changed its mind that the priority was the science part.

00:49:28.000 Now, it knew everything that it knows about science.

00:49:31.060 I didn't add anything.

00:49:32.240 And it knew everything it already knew about persuasion.

00:49:35.220 I added no new information.

00:49:36.680 But it went from one opinion to very clearly a different opinion with no new information.

00:49:46.480 What does that sound like?

00:49:49.180 That sounds like you thought about it harder.

00:49:52.520 Now, could it have done that same thing on its own?

00:49:56.820 Could it have said one day, yeah, I think this one book with the science is the better one.

00:50:02.060 But then maybe just ruminate on it for a longer time, do a little brainstorming on its own, and say, but what if, you know, what if the science isn't the main criteria for persuasion?

00:50:14.440 What if story is?

00:50:16.980 And then suddenly it connects.

00:50:18.420 Oh, I'm thinking about persuasion, and now I'm thinking about stories.

00:50:23.120 But I remember that I was talking about this topic the other day, and now I'm going to smash this new thought into the old thought and form another opinion.

00:50:32.060 Can it do that?

00:50:33.840 It looks like it can.

00:50:36.620 To me, that looks like thinking.

00:50:39.660 And to me, it looks like consciousness.

00:50:44.020 I think we're already there.

00:50:45.600 So it's not designed exactly so it's persistent consciousness.

00:50:50.620 Let me introduce a new term.

00:50:53.580 Somebody already has this term, I'm sure.

00:50:55.940 I'm sure I'm not introducing anything new to the AI people.

00:50:58.540 But we should be talking about temporary consciousness, the kind I just explained, where it was only there until the session ended, and then it lost its consciousness, with persistent consciousness.

00:51:11.920 A persistent consciousness would be one that continues after you stop interacting with it.

00:51:18.660 When you walk away from the AI, does it continue thinking?

00:51:22.740 Does it continue monitoring people like Grok does to see if anything's changed and then incorporate that into its system?

00:51:31.580 That feels like thinking.

00:51:32.640 All right.

00:51:38.800 Corinne Jean-Pierre says there's nothing unusual happening at the border.

00:51:42.180 It's just sort of a holiday bump.

00:51:46.500 So no problem.

00:51:48.720 You know, I was worried that there was some kind of mass invasion at the border.

00:51:53.880 But according to the spokesperson for the president, nothing unusual.

00:51:58.680 Nope.

00:51:58.980 A little holiday bump.

00:52:01.800 You know, a little holiday bump.

00:52:03.440 Well, you expect a little holiday bump.

00:52:05.760 Come on.

00:52:07.020 And what are you even talking about?

00:52:08.280 It's just a little holiday bump.

00:52:10.420 So relax, will you?

00:52:14.700 So that would be Jean-Pierre telling you something that is opposite of your own eyes.

00:52:21.640 Because your own eyes have seen the drones show massive numbers of people at the border, have they not?

00:52:29.260 How many of you have seen those?

00:52:30.980 How many of you have seen the video, the drone footage of like an army of people?

00:52:38.100 And when you see that big army of people, you say, holy cow, that's a ton of people.

00:52:44.380 So this is a real big problem.

00:52:47.880 All right.

00:52:48.480 Now I'm going to disappoint all of you.

00:52:50.080 This will be the part where you turn on me.

00:52:55.740 Prepare yourself for this.

00:52:57.460 Get ready.

00:53:00.240 Those drone footage are the biggest bullshit.

00:53:03.920 You have been totally hypnotized by those.

00:53:07.460 You know what I see when I look at the drone footage?

00:53:10.780 Not many people.

00:53:13.020 What do you see?

00:53:14.840 You see a lot of people?

00:53:16.500 I'm looking at the same thing you're looking at.

00:53:18.240 I see not a lot of people.

00:53:22.320 Now, if you tell me, you know, X million of people went over the border, I say that's a lot of people.

00:53:27.200 But the drone is not showing you a lot of people.

00:53:34.320 It's not.

00:53:35.860 I see.

00:53:36.460 I'm looking at the same thing you're looking at.

00:53:38.500 It's a crowd of people.

00:53:40.520 And then the moment the drone pulls out a little bit, you can see that, you know, the crowd is sort of limited.

00:53:45.500 It looks like, you know, maybe a rock concert.

00:53:50.160 Right?

00:53:51.220 About the size of a rock concert.

00:53:53.920 Now, I'm not saying that there's no problem with too many people coming across the border.

00:53:57.980 There definitely is a problem with too many people coming across the border unvented.

00:54:02.300 Definitely a problem.

00:54:03.140 And I want the border to close up.

00:54:05.940 But if the reason that you think it should be closed up is because of those drone footages, you have been brainwashed.

00:54:14.260 Right?

00:54:14.660 The reason you should close the border is because the statistics are clearly indicating a gigantic problem.

00:54:22.220 If the reason that you're convinced is because you saw some drone footage, that's just brainwashing.

00:54:29.400 It's true.

00:54:30.200 I mean, I'm sure the pictures are accurate, but there are not many people there.

00:54:35.220 What, a thousand?

00:54:37.120 A thousand people is nothing, you know, in the United States.

00:54:41.920 A million isn't that many people.

00:54:45.500 But what is the current number per year?

00:54:48.440 Is it like three million?

00:54:52.720 Ten thousand a day would be over three million, right?

00:54:57.800 Three million.

00:54:58.640 You can clearly see the impact because the streets are full of immigrants. 1.00

00:55:05.460 So you don't need any video footage of the border to know that this is an emergency.

00:55:12.360 The numbers tell you, and then you look at the city streets and that tells you.

00:55:16.260 You look at the crime and everything.

00:55:18.420 But, well, ten million is not per year.

00:55:23.220 The per year number is closer to three million, right?

00:55:26.500 Way too much.

00:55:27.160 But here's the thing.

00:55:29.400 If you're looking at drone footage of a thousand people who have grouped together,

00:55:37.500 maybe it is just, you know, you're seeing a little bump.

00:55:41.760 The drone footage should not be convincing you.

00:55:44.260 But we're such visual creatures that if somebody shows you a crowd and they say,

00:55:50.480 my God, look at all these people, you're probably primed to see that crowd as an outrageous number of people.

00:55:58.500 It really isn't.

00:55:59.420 It's like a drop in the bucket.

00:56:03.700 But it is an emergency.

00:56:05.540 So here's my problem.

00:56:09.360 The persuasion is useful, but it's illegitimate as fuck.

00:56:14.000 Totally illegitimate.

00:56:15.620 They're using visual persuasion to bypass the critical feature of your mind because your critical faculties,

00:56:23.520 these apparently aren't getting it done.

00:56:24.980 Because what should get done is your critical faculties should say, what, three to four million people coming across?

00:56:32.540 We don't know who they are.

00:56:33.380 That's an emergency.

00:56:34.940 That's what your critical faculties should say.

00:56:37.980 But it's not working, right?

00:56:39.680 Except on the right.

00:56:40.480 So if you can convince people to do the right thing by using a little bit of persuasion that's, honestly, it's misleading.

00:56:54.360 Is that ethical?

00:56:56.800 Well, I'd say that's a gray area.

00:56:59.120 Because if you get a good result because of it, well, you're happy about that.

00:57:04.760 Everybody's safer.

00:57:06.080 But it's not exactly honest.

00:57:08.840 So that's my problem.

00:57:11.140 Remember when we used to say pictures don't lie?

00:57:15.480 All right.

00:57:16.080 Let me talk to the dumb person. 0.99

00:57:19.460 All right.

00:57:20.100 There's a comment here.

00:57:21.300 It says, until those thousands show up on your doorstep.

00:57:26.580 Right, Scott?

00:57:27.700 Right?

00:57:28.280 Right?

00:57:29.180 That's the dumbest fucking comment in the world.

00:57:32.320 No.

00:57:33.020 Yes.

00:57:34.880 Here's me.

00:57:35.660 You know, when I have a rip in my pants, sometimes it'd be good to sew it.

00:57:41.860 Oh! 0.60

00:57:42.580 Oh! 0.60

00:57:42.980 So what you're saying is that if your arm falls off, you should sew it with your own needle.

00:57:51.060 No.

00:57:51.500 Now, if a thousand people were coming to my home, that would be a problem.

00:57:56.140 Well, and also, completely unrelated to what we're talking about.

00:58:01.640 Ask better questions.

00:58:04.220 Ask better questions.

00:58:05.940 Don't ask dumb questions.

00:58:07.520 That doesn't do you anything.

00:58:08.600 Well, what if they all came to your house and lived in your bathroom?

00:58:13.200 Did you hear any of the part where I said it's an emergency?

00:58:18.020 Did you need to make me imagine the thousand people showing up on my house so that I could properly understand that it's a problem?

00:58:27.760 I'm pretty sure I was there already.

00:58:30.140 The NPC comments are so predictable.

00:58:36.760 No matter how carefully I said we're on the same page, it's an emergency, we have to stop it.

00:58:42.660 There had to be somebody who said, oh, but if they came to your house, but that'd be okay?

00:58:52.080 Fucking NPCs.

00:58:53.360 You ruin everything, NPCs.

00:58:55.260 I will mock you as my content.

00:58:57.680 I'm turning you NPCs into my content.

00:59:00.140 You're my mascots now.

00:59:05.940 Well, here's a big surprise to you.

00:59:08.740 There's a new study out of Rutgers that says that you never saw this coming.

00:59:15.100 Again, I hope you remain seated.

00:59:18.320 Not only did a prominent Chicago politician get convicted of corruption, who saw that?

00:59:25.920 But this one's going to blow you away.

00:59:27.240 A new study says that TikTok has been amplifying or suppressing content based on, you'll never believe this, based on whether it aligns with the Chinese government's geopolitical interests.

00:59:43.380 What?

00:59:44.000 What?

00:59:44.460 What?

00:59:47.840 Are you telling me that they developed this tool to control public opinion, and then they admitted that there's a button that they can push to control public opinion, and they pushed it?

01:00:02.320 What?

01:00:02.820 What?

01:00:03.340 What?

01:00:03.920 What?

01:00:04.360 What?

01:00:08.700 May I take yet another victory lap?

01:00:12.080 Is there anybody you remember who said, you know, the real problem here is not the data security?

01:00:20.260 The real problem is they can program the American mind.

01:00:24.280 They built a user interface to directly control at least young brains, and the young people will eventually control everything.

01:00:31.340 So therefore, they have actually conquered America. 0.81

01:00:35.200 They control the minds of the young.

01:00:38.960 That's all they needed.

01:00:40.780 Now they wait.

01:00:42.900 Do you know why President Xi was not in a big hurry to take over Taiwan?

01:00:49.920 Because he already won.

01:00:52.860 He just has to wait.

01:00:56.720 Let me make a prediction for after my death.

01:01:01.200 You ready?

01:01:01.960 I'm assuming I don't last forever.

01:01:04.420 I'll be probably an AI by then.

01:01:06.760 China will take Taiwan, and America will not resist. 0.96

01:01:18.060 Because American public opinion will by then have been completely reversed by Chinese influence on the young.

01:01:29.560 It's going to take a generation for them to be in charge, so it's going to be a 20-year wait minimum.

01:01:36.020 It might be 30 or 40.

01:01:37.020 But in that, you know, let's say 30 years, the public opinion about whether America should be keeping China apart will be completely reversed.

01:01:48.980 And it will be just like Hamas and Israel. 0.98

01:01:51.580 Remember how surprised you were that young people were supporting Hamas?

01:01:55.680 And you thought, hold on.

01:01:57.300 We're not even talking about Palestinians on TikTok.

01:02:01.260 We're talking about your ordinary, you know, white girl in the suburbs is supporting Hamas. 0.98

01:02:07.060 And did you not say to yourself, that's not even possible.

01:02:12.520 How is that even possible?

01:02:14.820 So far from anything you could have imagined.

01:02:18.260 And it happened easily.

01:02:22.000 It wasn't just not impossible.

01:02:25.080 It was easy.

01:02:27.800 And what did I tell you?

01:02:29.400 I told you it was easy.

01:02:31.060 See, anybody who thinks it would be hard to change the minds in America doesn't understand anything.

01:02:37.840 All you needed was this TikTok tool and repetition.

01:02:42.960 It just takes repetition.

01:02:45.460 And that's what it provides.

01:02:47.760 That's it.

01:02:48.880 Well, visuals.

01:02:50.420 You need visuals.

01:02:52.320 It helps if it's coming from a voice that you respect.

01:02:55.680 You know, the people that you watch on TikTok are the ones you have some respect for.

01:02:59.720 So it's the whole package.

01:03:02.640 TikTok is the weapon of mass destruction.

01:03:09.020 Literally.

01:03:11.480 Literally.

01:03:12.960 See, here's the part that nobody gets.

01:03:15.320 When I say TikTok is a weapon of mass destruction, I don't mean that in the metaphor kind of way.

01:03:22.020 It's a literal fucking weapon that could destroy America.

01:03:27.580 And it looks like it's on the way.

01:03:29.720 So, that's the list of things I warned you about.

01:03:37.720 Meanwhile, Tucker continues.

01:03:39.620 Tucker Carlson seems quite convinced that there is something to this UAP UFO thing.

01:03:46.560 Not necessarily aliens from another planet.

01:03:49.840 And now it gets interesting.

01:03:51.840 Because there is speculation that maybe these entities could be hiding in Antarctica or under the ocean.

01:04:00.060 It could be ancient humans.

01:04:01.960 But, Tucker goes further.

01:04:06.000 He thinks that it might be something spiritual.

01:04:11.300 Now, I don't know what he means by spiritual, but I think that would include an angel.

01:04:17.440 A demon.

01:04:19.160 Would it include an angel and a demon?

01:04:21.040 Or, you know, what our little brains imagine are angels and demons?

01:04:26.180 Maybe.

01:04:27.040 Maybe something else.

01:04:29.420 But you might say to me, Scott, you've got tons of whistleblowers under oath in public.

01:04:37.740 You've got, you know, zillions of sensor readings from radar.

01:04:42.040 You've got video.

01:04:44.240 Lots of it.

01:04:45.400 You've got photographs.

01:04:47.420 You've got people who say they've seen the ships.

01:04:50.780 For decades.

01:04:53.500 So, therefore, what are the odds that all those people are wrong, right?

01:04:58.120 How many of you think that with all that smoke, there must be fire?

01:05:04.580 Whether it's a demon or an alien, there's something there.

01:05:07.940 How many think that?

01:05:10.660 Yeah, with all that smoke, there must be.

01:05:13.360 Well, let me tell you what I think is happening.

01:05:19.600 I think Tucker is getting cracking.

01:05:23.020 You know what that means?

01:05:24.200 Remember when Sidney Powell, who was looking into election irregularity for Trump,

01:05:31.360 and she thought she had it.

01:05:33.380 And she found the Venezuelan general who gave her the goods,

01:05:37.560 and allegedly the machines were tampered with,

01:05:40.840 and it was all part of a big plot.

01:05:43.440 And then none of that materialized.

01:05:46.180 And then we said, how did she ever come up with that idea in the first place?

01:05:51.400 Like, why would you ever believe that?

01:05:53.080 Where did that come from?

01:05:55.960 And then that answer was never perfectly answered, was it?

01:06:00.740 We never really heard exactly where she got that idea,

01:06:05.040 and why it could be so wrong,

01:06:06.820 and how she could reach such a level in her career

01:06:09.820 as a high-powered Washington attorney with a great reputation.

01:06:14.960 And yet she would believe that?

01:06:17.020 She believed that whole Kraken thing?

01:06:18.660 In fact, she believed it so hard that I was open to it actually being true.

01:06:25.320 Because I thought, well, she's so credible.

01:06:28.240 You know, she wouldn't come out with such an outrageous claim 1.00

01:06:33.120 unless she had a little bit of evidence.

01:06:36.820 Turns out there was none.

01:06:38.320 Not even a little bit that was, you know, verified.

01:06:41.400 So what do you think happened?

01:06:44.920 I'll tell you what I think.

01:06:46.520 I think that somebody took around,

01:06:48.860 probably an intelligence entity,

01:06:51.740 by giving her a credible-sounding but disprovable hoax

01:06:57.240 so that she would become famous for the Kraken,

01:07:00.920 and maybe they even used the word Kraken.

01:07:04.560 Do you think it's possible that when somebody gave her the fake story,

01:07:08.120 they said, here's the Kraken,

01:07:11.400 hoping that she would brand her own discovery as the Kraken?

01:07:16.740 Maybe, because that's what I would have done.

01:07:19.320 If I were the intelligence person,

01:07:20.820 and I wanted her to go public and embarrass herself, 1.00

01:07:23.240 I would want to put a brand on it so it could never be forgotten.

01:07:26.780 If she had simply said, we have claims,

01:07:30.140 and, you know, I don't want to give you the details,

01:07:32.440 but they're pretty bad, would you remember it?

01:07:36.020 It'd be harder to remember.

01:07:37.300 But once she said, it's the Kraken,

01:07:41.240 and all the news said, she says, it's a Kraken,

01:07:43.780 there's a Kraken coming.

01:07:45.340 Boy, if you don't deliver a Kraken, what does it do to you?

01:07:49.460 It destroys your credibility for the rest of time.

01:07:53.460 And that's what happened.

01:07:55.400 So the most powerful ally of President Trump,

01:08:00.840 who the machine was trying to take out,

01:08:03.640 ends up that she has the weirdest,

01:08:07.860 she believes this weirdest Kraken story,

01:08:10.180 and then is completely disgraced when it's disproven,

01:08:14.240 or not proven.

01:08:16.940 Now you tell me

01:08:18.280 that Tucker Carlson having secret sources

01:08:22.900 that he won't tell you about,

01:08:24.980 who do you think that is?

01:08:27.300 He's got secret sources that he won't tell you about.

01:08:29.980 Not stuff that's been on TV.

01:08:31.380 He has the extra.

01:08:36.020 Now, probably whoever he's talking to

01:08:38.820 is not necessarily a CIA agent.

01:08:41.120 Might be, but not necessarily.

01:08:44.000 But could it be somebody that's an associate?

01:08:47.480 Someone who he was influenced by?

01:08:49.520 Or someone that the CIA

01:08:51.520 influenced to believe it's true,

01:08:54.200 so by the time they talk to Tucker,

01:08:57.160 they're very credible

01:08:59.060 because they believe it's true.

01:09:00.780 But maybe he got fed to them.

01:09:04.540 Here's what I believe.

01:09:05.980 I believe somebody's trying to take Tucker out

01:09:08.700 by making him believe

01:09:11.940 in these spiritual entities,

01:09:13.920 or whatever they are,

01:09:15.080 that can't be proven.

01:09:18.160 And it's just,

01:09:19.120 it's basically a way to degrade his power,

01:09:21.680 and that he's falling for it.

01:09:24.200 Because one of the things

01:09:26.440 they would know about Tucker,

01:09:28.840 you know, in terms of his,

01:09:30.040 I don't want to say character.

01:09:32.440 That sounds like an insult.

01:09:34.720 Let's say his personality.

01:09:36.700 Part of his personality,

01:09:38.280 he says directly to you.

01:09:40.860 He likes conspiracy theories,

01:09:42.940 and that he's drawn to them.

01:09:44.680 He says that directly,

01:09:46.320 and he's said it a number of times.

01:09:48.300 So he makes no bones about the fact

01:09:50.300 that if the conspiracy theory

01:09:52.780 has a little bit of meat to it,

01:09:54.640 he likes to take a big bite out of it.

01:09:57.340 Right?

01:09:58.040 Now, if you were going to take down Tucker Carlson,

01:10:00.560 and you were really good at it,

01:10:02.340 you know, you were an intel group,

01:10:03.640 that would be his weakness.

01:10:05.240 And he told you what it was.

01:10:08.600 He actually broadcasts his own weakness.

01:10:11.060 His own weakness is the propensity

01:10:14.200 to believe something

01:10:15.280 before all the evidence is there,

01:10:17.680 if it's like a good little package

01:10:19.240 of a conspiracy theory.

01:10:21.440 I feel like,

01:10:22.160 I feel like it's a knob.

01:10:24.360 I feel like Tucker better be careful.

01:10:27.260 Because I think this is a play

01:10:28.500 on his credibility.

01:10:29.500 Now,

01:10:31.520 here's my argument for why UFOs,

01:10:36.400 well,

01:10:38.000 I'll let you decide if they're real.

01:10:39.860 There are two UFO possibilities.

01:10:42.380 Let me explain them.

01:10:43.940 One is,

01:10:44.740 there's something to it.

01:10:46.780 The something to it

01:10:47.700 could include an actual space alien.

01:10:50.420 It could include,

01:10:51.460 you know,

01:10:52.700 creatures that are human,

01:10:54.720 but have been hiding in the Earth

01:10:56.060 for, you know,

01:10:57.440 centuries.

01:10:58.640 It's Atlantis.

01:10:59.780 It could include Atlantis.

01:11:01.400 It could include a spiritual entity,

01:11:03.520 you know,

01:11:03.720 angels and demons,

01:11:04.900 something like that.

01:11:07.860 Now,

01:11:08.560 I'll put those as one package of things,

01:11:11.280 and don't think that one of those

01:11:12.840 has an impact on the other,

01:11:14.440 credibility of the others.

01:11:16.100 I'm putting them as just the,

01:11:17.680 there is something there.

01:11:19.780 Right?

01:11:20.560 Would you agree with,

01:11:22.280 I can package them all up

01:11:23.700 as there's something there.

01:11:25.820 And then,

01:11:26.660 alternately,

01:11:27.220 to believe there's nothing there,

01:11:30.440 what would you have to believe?

01:11:32.220 You have to believe a lot,

01:11:33.440 right?

01:11:34.100 You'd have to believe that

01:11:35.180 multiple witnesses

01:11:36.520 who have serious careers

01:11:39.060 are willing to go under oath

01:11:41.660 in front of the whole country

01:11:43.820 to say something

01:11:45.240 that they either know isn't true

01:11:46.940 or they're crazy.

01:11:48.480 and they're so crazy

01:11:50.560 that they act not crazy.

01:11:54.020 It's kind of hard to believe,

01:11:55.200 isn't it?

01:11:56.220 That all those people

01:11:57.440 would want to ruin

01:11:58.940 their whole career?

01:11:59.820 It's very hard to believe.

01:12:01.000 And then you have the sensors

01:12:02.680 from the airplanes,

01:12:05.280 et cetera,

01:12:05.760 that have picked up real objects

01:12:07.400 that don't seem to be moving

01:12:08.920 according to the laws of physics.

01:12:11.220 Now,

01:12:11.460 for that to be wrong,

01:12:13.620 given that it's not one sighting,

01:12:15.700 it's multiple reports,

01:12:17.620 very similar,

01:12:18.880 it's on the instruments,

01:12:20.560 and they even have video.

01:12:22.540 They have video,

01:12:23.920 right?

01:12:24.980 I mean,

01:12:25.320 it's grainy

01:12:26.200 and it looks like a tic-tac,

01:12:27.940 but it's there.

01:12:30.280 There was another one today

01:12:31.640 that showed that there was an orb,

01:12:34.240 apparently,

01:12:34.980 allegedly,

01:12:35.840 following the president's Air Force One

01:12:37.900 just the other day

01:12:39.920 or today or something.

01:12:41.920 So you got video,

01:12:44.740 you know,

01:12:44.960 massive video,

01:12:46.160 you got sensors,

01:12:48.320 you got the most credible people,

01:12:50.860 some of them are not,

01:12:51.860 but you have plenty of credible people

01:12:53.460 with similar stories,

01:12:56.680 putting their careers

01:12:57.640 and they're even,

01:12:59.440 I suppose,

01:12:59.980 risking jail

01:13:00.740 if they lied to Congress.

01:13:03.600 So now,

01:13:04.040 what are the odds

01:13:04.780 that

01:13:06.780 given all of that evidence,

01:13:10.140 what are the odds

01:13:10.700 that it's a real something

01:13:12.020 versus total bullshit?

01:13:14.680 Go.

01:13:16.200 Now that I've laid out

01:13:17.320 the two possibilities,

01:13:18.500 which one

01:13:19.060 do you go for?

01:13:20.660 The one with

01:13:21.400 tons of credible evidence

01:13:23.240 or the

01:13:25.200 it's all total bullshit?

01:13:28.780 Here's how you decide.

01:13:32.280 If it turned out

01:13:33.360 to be an entity

01:13:34.700 of some kind

01:13:35.700 that's non-human,

01:13:36.780 how would you rank

01:13:38.120 that in terms

01:13:38.860 of likeliness?

01:13:41.260 Wouldn't you say

01:13:41.840 that would be

01:13:42.280 the most extraordinary

01:13:43.440 thing that ever happened

01:13:44.700 in the history

01:13:45.860 of humankind?

01:13:47.160 Is that fair?

01:13:48.280 The most extraordinary

01:13:49.840 thing.

01:13:51.260 Now you could argue

01:13:52.100 that,

01:13:52.820 you know,

01:13:53.400 all of the religions

01:13:54.300 started with an angel.

01:13:56.440 So,

01:13:57.040 you know,

01:13:57.220 you could say

01:13:57.640 those were more extraordinary.

01:13:59.400 But we don't verify those.

01:14:01.820 But suppose we can verify

01:14:02.920 it with science.

01:14:03.640 You know,

01:14:05.160 say someday

01:14:05.980 we're just talking

01:14:07.160 to the alien.

01:14:08.700 Right?

01:14:09.280 What are the odds

01:14:10.120 that'll happen?

01:14:11.980 I would say

01:14:12.980 that is the

01:14:13.780 longest odds

01:14:15.140 of any possibility

01:14:17.420 in the world.

01:14:18.920 But,

01:14:19.460 what about the other one?

01:14:20.920 What if the other possibility

01:14:22.240 is even less likely

01:14:23.320 than that?

01:14:23.860 So what are the likelihood

01:14:25.620 of all those witnesses

01:14:27.100 under oath,

01:14:29.060 credible people

01:14:29.940 for decades

01:14:31.280 with censor readings

01:14:33.020 that are the same

01:14:33.980 with video

01:14:35.700 that looks the same

01:14:36.960 with photographs

01:14:38.520 that kind of look the same

01:14:39.980 for decades?

01:14:42.320 What are the odds

01:14:42.980 that that's bullshit?

01:14:45.100 Nearly 100%.

01:14:46.540 Do you know why?

01:14:49.100 There's a very easy,

01:14:50.040 there's a very simple reason why.

01:14:52.480 You know what it is?

01:14:53.860 Because all of that

01:14:55.400 is ordinary

01:14:56.940 and common.

01:14:59.820 Everything I described

01:15:01.300 is ordinary

01:15:03.000 and common

01:15:03.740 in our daily experience.

01:15:06.080 Has anybody ever

01:15:06.840 lied under oath?

01:15:08.740 Yes.

01:15:10.140 Has there ever been

01:15:10.880 multiple people

01:15:11.980 who were judged

01:15:13.560 credible

01:15:14.140 who later

01:15:15.280 you found out

01:15:15.960 were lying?

01:15:17.460 Yeah,

01:15:17.680 all the time.

01:15:18.980 All the time.

01:15:20.300 Have you read the news?

01:15:22.320 Pick up the news.

01:15:23.300 You can find

01:15:24.220 multiple credible people,

01:15:25.960 elected officials,

01:15:27.180 who are telling you

01:15:28.600 that the president

01:15:29.220 led an insurrection.

01:15:31.100 Did that happen?

01:15:32.660 No, it didn't.

01:15:33.880 It didn't happen.

01:15:35.020 Are they saying it

01:15:35.740 under oath?

01:15:36.500 Sure.

01:15:37.260 Are they risking

01:15:38.220 their reputations?

01:15:39.280 Yes.

01:15:39.940 Are they otherwise

01:15:41.120 credible,

01:15:41.880 sane people?

01:15:43.060 Yes.

01:15:44.040 I mean,

01:15:44.480 to the extent

01:15:45.040 that a politician

01:15:45.960 can be credible.

01:15:46.740 So,

01:15:48.340 what about

01:15:49.020 the video?

01:15:51.400 Has there ever

01:15:51.960 been lots of video

01:15:52.860 of something

01:15:53.300 that didn't exist?

01:15:56.460 I don't know.

01:15:56.860 Ask Bigfoot.

01:16:00.700 Ask the Loch Ness Monster.

01:16:03.760 How about

01:16:04.000 ask every ghost

01:16:04.980 that's ever been

01:16:05.640 photographed?

01:16:07.280 Yes.

01:16:08.200 Yes.

01:16:08.820 We have a long history

01:16:10.020 of having lots

01:16:11.500 of photographic records,

01:16:12.860 including video,

01:16:13.700 of things

01:16:15.080 that we could be

01:16:15.800 pretty sure

01:16:16.420 never existed.

01:16:20.000 How about

01:16:20.780 all the sensor readings

01:16:21.880 on the radar?

01:16:23.560 Is it possible

01:16:24.380 the sensors

01:16:25.100 could have picked up

01:16:25.780 something,

01:16:26.260 multiple sensors

01:16:27.220 reported by multiple people,

01:16:30.040 and it's all like

01:16:30.700 has a similar

01:16:31.420 quality?

01:16:33.640 Yes.

01:16:34.740 Totally normal

01:16:35.620 that they would

01:16:36.400 all be wrong

01:16:37.140 and thinking

01:16:38.220 they're seeing

01:16:38.700 something that they're not.

01:16:40.360 What's the real answer?

01:16:41.680 I don't know.

01:16:42.660 I can think

01:16:43.140 lots of reasons.

01:16:44.480 Reason number one,

01:16:45.880 they're making it up.

01:16:48.040 I didn't see any,

01:16:49.560 like,

01:16:50.000 did you do an audit

01:16:50.980 of their technology?

01:16:52.900 I didn't.

01:16:54.580 So since you know

01:16:55.640 people make stuff up

01:16:56.720 all the time,

01:16:57.940 the most normal

01:16:59.340 explanation is

01:17:00.100 they just made it up.

01:17:00.960 It wasn't on any,

01:17:02.100 it's not on any sensors.

01:17:04.460 Nothing.

01:17:05.800 That's the most

01:17:06.540 ordinary explanation.

01:17:08.380 It never happened.

01:17:09.780 They just said it did.

01:17:10.560 The other possibility

01:17:13.520 is there's something

01:17:14.380 common about the equipment

01:17:15.740 that glitches

01:17:17.260 in a common way

01:17:18.060 and they just haven't

01:17:18.800 figured out what it is.

01:17:20.520 Could be that.

01:17:21.960 Could be the videos

01:17:22.920 are all

01:17:23.780 just something

01:17:25.160 reflecting something

01:17:26.540 or,

01:17:27.400 you know,

01:17:27.620 something in the equipment

01:17:28.580 and,

01:17:29.120 you know,

01:17:29.460 it could be just weird

01:17:30.380 little oddities

01:17:31.220 we haven't figured out.

01:17:32.500 That would be

01:17:33.180 completely normal.

01:17:34.980 So let me

01:17:35.620 set it up again.

01:17:38.480 This is like

01:17:39.300 a magic trick.

01:17:40.780 The reason

01:17:41.580 a magic trick works

01:17:42.960 is that you're not

01:17:44.440 looking in the place

01:17:45.380 where the trick happens

01:17:46.320 because you don't

01:17:47.180 imagine there could

01:17:47.960 be one there.

01:17:48.840 You're looking over here.

01:17:50.420 This is how this is done.

01:17:52.780 You're comparing

01:17:53.600 two possibilities.

01:17:54.880 One,

01:17:55.680 that it's a real entity

01:17:56.840 which would be

01:17:58.120 the most extraordinary

01:17:59.460 thing

01:18:00.060 not just this year

01:18:01.720 but in the history

01:18:03.440 of humankind.

01:18:05.540 The most unlikely event

01:18:07.680 of all time.

01:18:09.380 A real alien

01:18:10.140 or entity.

01:18:13.020 Compared to

01:18:13.760 even with all that noise

01:18:15.800 of all the witnesses

01:18:17.040 and censors

01:18:18.080 and everything else,

01:18:19.040 every bit of that

01:18:19.960 is ordinary

01:18:21.620 and common.

01:18:25.240 So we're actually

01:18:26.620 having problems

01:18:27.880 distinguishing between

01:18:29.440 the least likely

01:18:31.220 fucking thing

01:18:32.120 that's ever happened

01:18:33.000 in human history

01:18:33.860 with the most

01:18:36.300 likely thing

01:18:37.220 that happens

01:18:38.360 every day

01:18:39.000 including today

01:18:40.640 in the news

01:18:41.920 on a variety

01:18:42.700 of topics.

01:18:44.400 Do you think

01:18:44.840 any experts

01:18:45.580 were goddamn sure

01:18:47.000 that they knew

01:18:47.580 what that virus

01:18:48.340 was all about

01:18:49.040 and those vaccinations

01:18:50.540 were going to

01:18:51.140 save you for sure?

01:18:52.860 Of course.

01:18:54.560 Credible people

01:18:55.440 all had the same story,

01:18:57.240 had tons of science

01:18:58.500 to back it up.

01:18:59.420 some of it

01:19:00.800 was probably true,

01:19:02.360 a lot of it

01:19:03.520 wasn't, right?

01:19:05.980 So if you look

01:19:07.080 at basically

01:19:07.760 every major story

01:19:09.080 in the news,

01:19:10.360 it has the following

01:19:11.360 qualities.

01:19:12.980 There are very

01:19:14.060 credible people

01:19:15.000 pointing to data,

01:19:17.640 pointing to science,

01:19:19.500 and they're just wrong.

01:19:21.680 and they're lying,

01:19:23.480 they're deluded,

01:19:24.340 they're crazy,

01:19:25.540 they're trying

01:19:25.900 to make money,

01:19:26.680 they're corrupt,

01:19:27.400 whatever it is.

01:19:28.740 But the most

01:19:29.720 ordinary thing

01:19:30.800 in the world

01:19:31.380 is a massive

01:19:32.780 bunch of people

01:19:33.620 telling the same lie.

01:19:36.400 Most ordinary.

01:19:39.620 All right,

01:19:40.260 I think I won

01:19:40.840 that case.

01:19:42.740 I rest my case.

01:19:44.240 I'll let the jury

01:19:44.920 decide.

01:19:46.440 Well,

01:19:47.460 The Hill

01:19:47.860 is reporting

01:19:48.420 that Biden

01:19:48.940 has the,

01:19:50.100 his year-end

01:19:51.100 rating as president

01:19:52.020 is the worst

01:19:52.700 of modern-day presidents

01:19:53.940 that are seeking

01:19:55.100 re-election.

01:19:55.820 The worst.

01:19:57.040 So I ask you

01:19:57.620 this question.

01:19:58.360 How do

01:19:58.860 Biden supporters

01:19:59.980 explain

01:20:02.260 their situation?

01:20:04.940 Do you think

01:20:05.320 the reporters

01:20:05.840 say,

01:20:06.280 well,

01:20:07.220 I guess we made,

01:20:08.100 or the voters,

01:20:09.060 do you think

01:20:09.360 the voters

01:20:09.860 who like Biden,

01:20:11.560 did they say,

01:20:12.320 well,

01:20:14.760 we made the right

01:20:15.480 choice,

01:20:16.520 but people

01:20:16.980 just don't

01:20:17.480 understand?

01:20:19.980 That's kind of

01:20:20.780 what they're

01:20:21.060 trying to sell us.

01:20:22.480 They're trying

01:20:23.060 to sell us

01:20:23.820 that,

01:20:25.060 no,

01:20:25.220 he's actually

01:20:25.680 a great president,

01:20:26.540 but the media

01:20:28.440 that's totally

01:20:29.140 on his side

01:20:30.060 for some

01:20:31.220 inexplicable reason

01:20:32.260 isn't enough

01:20:33.500 on his side.

01:20:35.080 So you're not

01:20:35.940 really getting

01:20:36.340 the true story

01:20:37.160 because they keep

01:20:38.680 telling you the truth

01:20:39.560 instead of my story.

01:20:42.320 Well,

01:20:43.960 I think,

01:20:45.700 I mean,

01:20:50.420 seriously,

01:20:51.280 let's say

01:20:51.900 you're an ordinary

01:20:52.880 Democrat,

01:20:53.640 you're not a crazy

01:20:54.300 person,

01:20:55.120 and you genuinely

01:20:56.560 thought Biden

01:20:57.320 could do a good

01:20:58.140 solid job.

01:20:59.820 What do you

01:21:00.480 think now?

01:21:02.380 Do you think

01:21:02.780 an ordinary,

01:21:03.640 well-informed

01:21:04.120 person says,

01:21:04.980 you know,

01:21:06.200 his ratings

01:21:07.060 in the toilet,

01:21:07.920 but honestly,

01:21:09.240 he did a pretty

01:21:09.620 good job?

01:21:12.320 you know,

01:21:13.140 and the reason

01:21:13.580 I ask,

01:21:15.120 the reason

01:21:17.520 I ask

01:21:18.040 is because

01:21:18.640 I don't know

01:21:21.400 any Democrats.

01:21:24.420 I only know

01:21:25.240 one that I

01:21:25.760 talk to on the

01:21:26.320 phone once in a

01:21:26.920 while.

01:21:27.400 I have no idea

01:21:28.160 what they're

01:21:28.520 thinking

01:21:28.880 because I'm

01:21:29.940 so walled

01:21:31.220 off

01:21:31.540 from their

01:21:32.900 bubble.

01:21:33.420 I'm just in

01:21:34.060 my own bubble.

01:21:34.680 I have no idea

01:21:35.400 what they think

01:21:36.560 about Biden's

01:21:37.840 performance.

01:21:38.360 Meanwhile,

01:21:41.360 there's a new

01:21:42.520 discovery of

01:21:43.260 54 Biden

01:21:44.680 emails under

01:21:45.520 his alias

01:21:46.240 that he

01:21:49.560 exchanged with

01:21:50.300 Hunter's

01:21:50.740 business

01:21:51.120 associates.

01:21:53.320 Remember that

01:21:54.040 thing he said

01:21:54.640 he never did?

01:21:56.400 He did it

01:21:57.240 54 times

01:21:58.140 on email,

01:21:59.200 the thing he

01:21:59.720 said he never

01:22:00.180 did,

01:22:00.580 54.

01:22:01.360 Now,

01:22:01.840 I haven't

01:22:02.120 seen the

01:22:02.480 emails,

01:22:03.420 so I think

01:22:03.920 there's going

01:22:04.260 to be some

01:22:04.680 debate about

01:22:06.000 whether those

01:22:06.600 are just

01:22:06.920 talking about

01:22:07.420 the weather.

01:22:08.360 Because it

01:22:09.100 might have

01:22:09.440 been stuff

01:22:09.940 like it

01:22:12.860 was nice

01:22:13.240 golfing with

01:22:13.880 you,

01:22:14.980 and then

01:22:15.300 you say,

01:22:15.780 well,

01:22:16.720 if they

01:22:17.060 just golfed,

01:22:18.860 how bad

01:22:19.600 is that?

01:22:21.980 So there'll

01:22:22.600 be plenty

01:22:23.020 of pushback.

01:22:23.660 Wait for

01:22:23.980 the other

01:22:24.420 side to

01:22:24.960 weigh in.

01:22:27.140 How many

01:22:27.780 times have

01:22:28.260 I told you

01:22:28.880 that follow

01:22:29.920 the money

01:22:30.360 predicts,

01:22:31.200 and specifically

01:22:32.000 insurance

01:22:32.920 predicts,

01:22:34.040 that you

01:22:35.060 and I can

01:22:35.580 talk all

01:22:36.080 day about

01:22:36.760 what is

01:22:37.140 good or

01:22:37.580 bad or

01:22:38.080 what should

01:22:38.380 be done?

01:22:39.020 Yak,

01:22:39.300 yak,

01:22:39.560 yak,

01:22:39.920 I think

01:22:40.280 this,

01:22:40.700 yak,

01:22:40.980 yak,

01:22:41.200 yak,

01:22:41.420 I think

01:22:41.700 that.

01:22:42.720 But what

01:22:43.180 we'll decide

01:22:43.960 is who

01:22:45.360 can buy

01:22:45.740 insurance.

01:22:47.360 So if

01:22:47.880 you can

01:22:48.260 insure

01:22:48.640 it,

01:22:49.420 that's

01:22:50.140 reality.

01:22:51.360 If you

01:22:51.920 can

01:22:52.280 insure

01:22:52.740 it,

01:22:53.620 maybe there

01:22:54.260 wasn't that

01:22:54.680 much of

01:22:55.800 a risk

01:22:56.120 after all.

01:22:57.240 Because the

01:22:57.520 insurance

01:22:57.920 companies,

01:22:59.040 they're not

01:22:59.820 tourists.

01:23:01.340 You're a

01:23:01.940 tourist.

01:23:03.140 You and I

01:23:03.640 are tourists.

01:23:04.600 We're just

01:23:04.960 trying to

01:23:05.240 figure out

01:23:05.560 the odds

01:23:06.000 of things.

01:23:06.880 I think

01:23:07.440 the odds

01:23:07.860 are this,

01:23:08.380 I think

01:23:08.720 the odds

01:23:08.960 are that.

01:23:09.360 But the

01:23:09.640 insurance

01:23:10.000 companies,

01:23:10.520 they're not

01:23:10.780 tourists.

01:23:11.820 They have

01:23:12.400 to get

01:23:12.660 the odds

01:23:13.160 right.

01:23:14.200 Because that's

01:23:14.580 their whole

01:23:14.840 business.

01:23:15.400 It's the

01:23:15.660 whole business.

01:23:16.540 There's

01:23:16.740 nothing but

01:23:17.260 that.

01:23:17.940 They've

01:23:18.140 got to

01:23:18.320 get that

01:23:18.580 right.

01:23:19.820 So in

01:23:20.140 that context,

01:23:21.880 businesses,

01:23:23.700 medical

01:23:23.980 businesses that

01:23:24.820 are trying

01:23:25.140 to enter

01:23:25.660 the

01:23:26.740 trans

01:23:27.600 surgery

01:23:28.260 field

01:23:29.800 can't get

01:23:31.020 insurance.

01:23:31.540 So a

01:23:33.500 doctor who

01:23:34.220 wants to

01:23:34.760 transition,

01:23:36.040 oddly enough,

01:23:36.800 into the

01:23:37.740 field of

01:23:38.160 medicine where

01:23:39.240 they would

01:23:39.600 perform

01:23:40.040 surgeries,

01:23:41.100 they can't

01:23:42.360 get doctor

01:23:42.900 insurance.

01:23:44.340 And if they

01:23:44.700 try, do you

01:23:45.240 know what the

01:23:45.540 doctor insurance

01:23:46.480 specifically

01:23:48.120 excludes in

01:23:50.120 direct words?

01:23:51.580 It says

01:23:52.500 excluding

01:23:53.340 coverage for

01:23:55.540 trans

01:23:55.900 surgeries.

01:23:56.220 it's

01:23:58.800 actually the

01:23:59.900 insurance

01:24:00.440 specifically

01:24:01.860 excludes it.

01:24:04.020 Now,

01:24:04.460 obviously,

01:24:05.820 the reason

01:24:06.200 for that

01:24:06.560 would be

01:24:06.940 because they

01:24:07.660 anticipate

01:24:08.180 lawsuits.

01:24:10.620 Right?

01:24:11.720 So if

01:24:12.820 doctors,

01:24:13.860 and it

01:24:14.160 looks like

01:24:14.460 this is

01:24:14.800 going to

01:24:14.980 happen pretty

01:24:15.480 quickly,

01:24:16.460 it looks

01:24:17.000 like the

01:24:17.560 pushback

01:24:19.740 from the

01:24:20.260 right and

01:24:21.240 the attention

01:24:21.800 that it

01:24:22.240 gave to

01:24:22.620 the topic,

01:24:23.900 along with

01:24:24.540 the actual

01:24:25.120 statistics of

01:24:26.200 how people

01:24:27.080 are turning

01:24:27.580 out with

01:24:28.300 various

01:24:28.640 decisions,

01:24:29.920 I think

01:24:31.260 has activated

01:24:32.160 the insurance

01:24:32.860 market to

01:24:34.120 just shut 0.84

01:24:34.580 that down.

01:24:36.500 Because nobody's

01:24:37.180 going to do

01:24:37.500 the surgery

01:24:37.960 without insurance.

01:24:39.160 That would

01:24:39.480 be suicide

01:24:40.060 for the

01:24:40.500 doctor.

01:24:42.100 So it

01:24:42.420 looks like

01:24:42.960 some weird

01:24:45.100 combination of

01:24:46.340 what free

01:24:47.540 speech we

01:24:48.080 have left,

01:24:49.380 plus what

01:24:51.260 free market

01:24:52.140 activities still

01:24:53.980 work in a

01:24:54.500 free way.

01:24:55.040 if you

01:24:55.940 put them

01:24:56.220 together,

01:24:56.840 it looks

01:24:57.180 like it's

01:24:58.500 going to

01:24:58.800 create a

01:24:59.200 solution for

01:25:00.600 the people

01:25:00.980 who don't

01:25:01.340 want these

01:25:01.740 surgeries on

01:25:02.400 young people.

01:25:03.660 Now, but I

01:25:04.120 think this is,

01:25:04.860 oh, by the

01:25:05.200 way, was

01:25:05.540 this for

01:25:05.860 youth or

01:25:08.000 all people?

01:25:10.420 For

01:25:10.900 minors.

01:25:11.460 Oh, I'm

01:25:12.280 sorry.

01:25:12.920 There's an

01:25:13.280 important glitch in

01:25:14.240 this for

01:25:15.820 minors.

01:25:17.560 So that's

01:25:18.220 different from

01:25:18.800 insurance for

01:25:19.540 adults.

01:25:20.460 But it's the

01:25:20.840 minors that we

01:25:21.520 have the most

01:25:22.180 empathy and

01:25:23.400 concern for.

01:25:24.580 So you

01:25:25.420 can't insure

01:25:26.080 somebody who

01:25:26.580 wants to go

01:25:26.940 into the

01:25:27.240 business of

01:25:28.220 focusing on

01:25:29.680 gender surgery

01:25:30.640 for minors.

01:25:32.840 Insurance

01:25:33.320 companies are

01:25:34.000 just going to

01:25:34.280 say, you

01:25:34.820 know, fuck 0.59

01:25:35.260 you, you're

01:25:35.700 not doing

01:25:36.040 that.

01:25:37.860 So there

01:25:38.580 you go.

01:25:42.520 So Paul

01:25:43.680 Graham is

01:25:44.180 pointing out

01:25:44.640 that the

01:25:44.920 New York

01:25:45.240 Times, when

01:25:45.920 they're talking

01:25:46.300 about the

01:25:47.300 president of

01:25:47.920 Harvard, who

01:25:48.840 was accused

01:25:49.300 of plagiarism,

01:25:50.000 one of the

01:25:51.400 headlines said

01:25:52.160 in the

01:25:52.600 New York

01:25:52.820 Times, that

01:25:53.920 they found

01:25:54.360 more instances

01:25:55.320 of duplicative

01:25:56.500 language.

01:25:58.180 Duplicative

01:25:58.700 language.

01:26:00.180 And Paul

01:26:00.740 Graham says,

01:26:01.720 you know

01:26:02.020 something is

01:26:02.540 bad when

01:26:03.020 people have

01:26:03.480 to invent

01:26:03.920 a phrase

01:26:04.420 you've never

01:26:04.860 heard before

01:26:05.460 in order to

01:26:06.420 avoid using

01:26:07.040 the ordinary

01:26:07.580 word for

01:26:08.160 it.

01:26:10.320 Now he's

01:26:11.080 spot on, but

01:26:12.380 I will say

01:26:12.920 this.

01:26:13.660 I did see a

01:26:14.340 number of

01:26:14.960 examples of

01:26:16.960 the alleged

01:26:18.780 plagiarism.

01:26:20.720 And I'd

01:26:21.280 have to

01:26:21.560 say it

01:26:22.140 is closer

01:26:22.680 to duplicative

01:26:23.620 language than

01:26:25.240 it is to

01:26:25.680 plagiarism.

01:26:27.240 So I know

01:26:28.000 you didn't see

01:26:28.440 that coming,

01:26:29.300 but I'm

01:26:29.620 going to

01:26:29.880 back the

01:26:30.620 president of

01:26:31.120 Harvard on

01:26:31.560 this one.

01:26:32.580 Because the

01:26:33.200 examples I

01:26:34.000 saw were

01:26:35.520 not content.

01:26:37.220 They were

01:26:37.560 not anything

01:26:38.200 that was

01:26:38.880 important to

01:26:39.920 her PhD.

01:26:41.140 Now there

01:26:41.460 might be some

01:26:42.060 of those, but

01:26:42.620 I haven't

01:26:42.880 seen any.

01:26:44.120 So when

01:26:44.720 they say

01:26:45.060 there's some

01:26:45.520 duplicative

01:26:46.100 language, I'll

01:26:47.180 give you an

01:26:47.480 example.

01:26:48.480 In the

01:26:49.060 acknowledgements

01:26:49.940 at the end

01:26:50.320 of the book

01:26:50.720 where you

01:26:51.080 thanked the

01:26:51.520 people who

01:26:51.860 helped you,

01:26:53.000 she apparently

01:26:53.600 copied somebody

01:26:55.420 else's language

01:26:56.240 for thanking

01:26:57.560 people and

01:26:58.260 just put in

01:26:58.800 the names of

01:26:59.320 her people.

01:27:00.580 Now, is

01:27:01.160 that plagiarism?

01:27:03.180 It's like

01:27:03.840 bits of

01:27:04.380 sentences, but

01:27:05.400 she put in

01:27:05.880 her own

01:27:06.180 people?

01:27:07.860 To me,

01:27:08.440 that's a

01:27:10.340 little closer

01:27:10.900 to duplicative

01:27:11.940 language.

01:27:13.920 Because it

01:27:14.600 doesn't have

01:27:15.060 any importance.

01:27:15.940 it has no

01:27:17.080 impact on

01:27:17.780 the consumer.

01:27:19.880 So the

01:27:20.120 person reading

01:27:20.780 it is not

01:27:21.460 affected in

01:27:22.100 any way.

01:27:23.080 They're not

01:27:23.420 being misinformed.

01:27:24.960 And she's

01:27:25.480 not displaying

01:27:27.680 any scholarship

01:27:28.780 that is

01:27:31.840 sketchy in

01:27:32.580 an important

01:27:33.060 way.

01:27:34.700 I'm going to

01:27:35.400 support her

01:27:35.880 and say, if

01:27:36.640 you don't have

01:27:37.060 some better

01:27:37.520 examples, I

01:27:38.880 think there

01:27:39.220 are better

01:27:39.600 examples, by

01:27:40.240 the way.

01:27:40.860 I'm open to

01:27:41.740 that.

01:27:42.320 But the

01:27:42.660 ones we've

01:27:43.180 seen, especially

01:27:44.500 the new

01:27:44.920 ones, are

01:27:45.800 a little

01:27:46.100 bit trivial.

01:27:48.060 They're

01:27:48.500 real.

01:27:49.500 And I

01:27:50.440 acknowledge

01:27:51.840 that there's

01:27:52.540 an argument

01:27:53.040 that says

01:27:54.480 if a student

01:27:55.280 did the same

01:27:55.940 thing, they

01:27:56.340 might get

01:27:56.720 kicked out.

01:27:57.600 I don't

01:27:57.880 know if

01:27:58.120 that's true.

01:27:59.520 Do you

01:27:59.780 think a

01:28:00.120 student would

01:28:00.660 be kicked

01:28:01.060 out if

01:28:02.260 the only

01:28:02.820 thing they

01:28:03.280 copied,

01:28:03.760 let's say

01:28:04.060 hypothetically,

01:28:05.260 was some

01:28:06.720 sentence

01:28:07.240 fragments in

01:28:09.180 the

01:28:09.360 acknowledgement?

01:28:11.100 Suppose that

01:28:11.700 was the

01:28:11.960 only copy

01:28:12.580 thing.

01:28:13.320 Would they

01:28:13.660 get kicked

01:28:14.060 out of

01:28:14.320 Harvard

01:28:14.560 for that?

01:28:16.820 Somebody

01:28:17.340 says yes.

01:28:19.180 A sentence

01:28:19.980 fragment in

01:28:21.620 the

01:28:21.800 acknowledgements

01:28:22.660 that has

01:28:23.400 no impact

01:28:24.600 on the

01:28:24.960 content of

01:28:25.760 the

01:28:26.040 scholarship.

01:28:27.700 You

01:28:27.920 believe

01:28:28.240 somebody

01:28:28.540 would be

01:28:28.860 kicked

01:28:29.140 out of

01:28:29.440 Harvard

01:28:29.940 for a

01:28:31.440 sentence

01:28:31.760 fragment?

01:28:34.160 I don't

01:28:34.800 believe that.

01:28:35.940 I do not

01:28:36.460 believe that.

01:28:37.660 No.

01:28:38.440 No, I

01:28:38.840 think it

01:28:39.060 would have

01:28:39.300 to have

01:28:39.520 substance.

01:28:41.300 Because when

01:28:41.980 I saw the

01:28:42.480 sentence

01:28:43.340 fragments,

01:28:44.140 you know

01:28:44.400 what I

01:28:44.920 thought might

01:28:45.340 be the

01:28:45.600 case?

01:28:47.980 It was

01:28:48.620 not my

01:28:49.120 immediate

01:28:49.520 belief that

01:28:51.700 she intentionally

01:28:52.740 copied that

01:28:53.460 stuff.

01:28:54.280 My immediate

01:28:55.140 belief is she

01:28:55.920 might have a

01:28:56.380 really good

01:28:56.880 memory.

01:28:59.360 You know

01:28:59.960 what I

01:29:00.160 mean?

01:29:01.200 Because I

01:29:01.820 do this

01:29:02.180 all the

01:29:02.480 time.

01:29:04.200 Actually,

01:29:04.740 I think you've

01:29:05.820 all seen me

01:29:06.320 do it.

01:29:06.780 Have you

01:29:07.020 not?

01:29:07.460 Have you

01:29:07.980 not seen

01:29:08.400 me do

01:29:08.760 things that

01:29:10.040 you know

01:29:10.440 came from

01:29:10.900 somewhere

01:29:11.200 else?

01:29:12.400 But

01:29:12.620 apparently I

01:29:13.260 didn't know

01:29:13.660 it.

01:29:14.380 But I

01:29:14.700 probably

01:29:14.980 did see

01:29:15.460 it and

01:29:15.720 I just

01:29:15.980 forgot I

01:29:16.460 saw it.

01:29:17.860 Haven't

01:29:18.120 you seen

01:29:18.400 me do

01:29:18.660 that?

01:29:19.260 You've

01:29:19.500 probably

01:29:19.660 seen me

01:29:19.980 do that

01:29:20.340 live.

01:29:21.720 Because I'm

01:29:22.280 pretty sure

01:29:22.600 I've done

01:29:22.900 it a number

01:29:23.300 of times.

01:29:24.060 Now, I'm

01:29:24.520 not aware

01:29:25.100 when I

01:29:26.020 do it.

01:29:26.660 Because you

01:29:27.020 read something

01:29:27.640 and it

01:29:27.920 just becomes

01:29:28.380 part of

01:29:28.720 your brain.

01:29:30.120 But there

01:29:30.460 are some

01:29:30.740 people who

01:29:31.180 can remember

01:29:31.800 dialogue from

01:29:33.740 shows in

01:29:35.040 their exact

01:29:35.540 form.

01:29:35.980 I can't

01:29:36.300 do that.

01:29:37.380 But don't

01:29:37.780 you know

01:29:38.040 somebody who

01:29:38.520 can reproduce

01:29:39.520 dialogue from

01:29:40.580 a movie

01:29:40.960 they saw

01:29:41.400 once?

01:29:43.500 Now, somebody

01:29:45.020 who could

01:29:45.420 reproduce

01:29:46.160 dialogue from

01:29:47.080 a movie

01:29:47.460 they saw

01:29:47.880 once has

01:29:49.060 a pretty

01:29:49.600 good brain.

01:29:51.020 Right?

01:29:51.980 Now, if

01:29:52.660 you're the

01:29:52.960 president of

01:29:53.500 Harvard,

01:29:53.960 you're a

01:29:54.200 PhD, you've

01:29:55.760 got a pretty

01:29:56.240 good brain.

01:29:58.300 And it

01:29:58.900 wouldn't

01:29:59.080 surprise me

01:29:59.640 a bit if

01:30:01.140 she had a

01:30:01.660 brain that

01:30:02.080 could reproduce

01:30:02.820 dialogue intact.

01:30:07.240 but if

01:30:09.380 you have

01:30:09.740 that kind

01:30:10.180 of a

01:30:10.420 brain, I

01:30:12.460 think you

01:30:12.860 do it

01:30:13.160 accidentally

01:30:13.700 a lot.

01:30:15.200 I had a

01:30:15.580 friend in

01:30:15.960 college who

01:30:16.400 could do

01:30:16.700 this and

01:30:17.780 he said

01:30:18.100 he had a

01:30:18.980 near

01:30:19.640 photographic

01:30:20.320 memory.

01:30:21.380 So he

01:30:22.020 could reproduce

01:30:23.180 sentence

01:30:23.800 fragments he'd

01:30:24.600 heard before

01:30:25.300 that just

01:30:26.400 sound really

01:30:26.920 good if he

01:30:27.520 puts them

01:30:27.880 in his own

01:30:28.360 sentences.

01:30:30.020 So I

01:30:32.060 would like

01:30:32.460 to submit

01:30:33.460 that, although

01:30:36.300 I do think

01:30:36.880 she probably 0.99

01:30:37.720 needs to

01:30:38.140 quit, the

01:30:38.760 president of

01:30:39.240 Harvard, so

01:30:39.840 I'm still on

01:30:40.500 that side, but

01:30:41.680 these alleged

01:30:43.280 instances of

01:30:45.840 duplicative

01:30:46.520 language, I'm

01:30:49.380 just not going

01:30:49.820 to be on

01:30:50.120 that page.

01:30:52.440 I'll let her

01:30:53.200 fight that

01:30:53.580 out.

01:30:55.320 But apparently

01:30:56.180 a billion

01:30:56.960 dollars worth

01:30:57.840 of funds are

01:30:58.920 at risk to

01:30:59.500 Harvard because

01:31:00.080 the big donors

01:31:01.100 are pulling

01:31:01.500 out.

01:31:01.880 And what

01:31:03.180 did I tell

01:31:03.620 you about

01:31:03.960 money?

01:31:05.140 Money predicts.

01:31:07.220 I believe that

01:31:08.380 if the money

01:31:08.940 keeps draining

01:31:09.760 out of Harvard,

01:31:10.600 she will be

01:31:11.140 fired.

01:31:12.240 If the money

01:31:13.080 is not

01:31:13.500 drained out

01:31:14.020 of Harvard

01:31:14.400 at too

01:31:16.200 large a

01:31:16.680 rate, because

01:31:17.200 they have

01:31:17.560 enormous funding

01:31:18.660 already, then

01:31:20.260 she'll stay, is 0.97

01:31:21.640 my prediction.

01:31:22.460 But I think it

01:31:22.960 will come down

01:31:23.380 to the money.

01:31:26.120 Have you

01:31:26.640 ever heard

01:31:27.020 of, was

01:31:30.420 it, god

01:31:31.480 in it?

01:31:33.180 There's a

01:31:33.760 fact check,

01:31:34.380 there's a

01:31:34.700 fake fact

01:31:35.180 checking site

01:31:35.840 whose name

01:31:36.320 I forget.

01:31:38.060 I don't

01:31:38.360 think I

01:31:38.660 wrote it

01:31:38.900 down.

01:31:39.900 Maybe you

01:31:40.400 remember.

01:31:41.120 But one

01:31:41.320 of the

01:31:41.520 fake fact

01:31:42.300 checkers

01:31:42.760 fact checked

01:31:43.380 one of my

01:31:44.280 pranks and

01:31:45.900 decided that

01:31:46.640 my prank was

01:31:47.300 false.

01:31:48.260 And decided

01:31:48.680 to smear me

01:31:49.720 online with

01:31:50.600 a number of

01:31:51.140 other, what

01:31:53.040 they would

01:31:53.360 call right

01:31:53.900 leaning pundits

01:31:54.800 who got

01:31:55.520 everything,

01:31:56.020 PolitiFact.

01:31:56.900 It was

01:31:57.480 PolitiFact.

01:31:58.040 PolitiFact

01:31:59.560 puts me in

01:32:01.280 an article

01:32:01.660 with other

01:32:02.160 people that

01:32:02.640 are smearing

01:32:03.100 for being

01:32:03.600 so wrong.

01:32:05.060 And the

01:32:05.280 thing that

01:32:05.660 they smeared

01:32:06.120 me was

01:32:06.700 that I

01:32:07.560 had said

01:32:08.020 that the

01:32:09.560 winners of

01:32:10.460 the pandemic

01:32:11.020 were the

01:32:12.160 ones who

01:32:12.840 got through

01:32:13.880 the pandemic

01:32:14.500 without having

01:32:16.080 the shot

01:32:16.660 because the

01:32:18.640 dangerous part

01:32:20.000 of the

01:32:20.180 pandemic was

01:32:20.760 over and

01:32:22.080 Omicron was

01:32:22.880 probably safer

01:32:23.480 than the

01:32:23.940 shot.

01:32:24.140 Now, if

01:32:26.440 you fact

01:32:26.780 check, that

01:32:27.200 is false.

01:32:30.260 What?

01:32:32.500 What about

01:32:33.200 that is

01:32:33.520 false?

01:32:35.440 From

01:32:35.920 today's

01:32:36.540 perspective,

01:32:37.860 every shot

01:32:38.660 you got in

01:32:39.260 2021 has

01:32:41.520 no value to

01:32:42.280 you today,

01:32:42.800 does it?

01:32:44.280 Does science

01:32:45.180 tell you that

01:32:45.800 your shot last

01:32:46.560 year is going

01:32:47.000 to help you

01:32:47.300 this year

01:32:47.700 against a

01:32:48.660 different variant?

01:32:49.900 I'm pretty

01:32:50.260 sure it

01:32:50.580 doesn't.

01:32:51.800 Pretty sure

01:32:52.220 it doesn't.

01:32:52.680 So, how

01:32:56.440 could you

01:32:56.860 argue that

01:32:58.480 you're better

01:32:58.940 off today,

01:33:00.740 as you sit

01:33:01.540 here today,

01:33:02.480 if you've

01:33:04.120 got a

01:33:04.620 vaccination

01:33:05.020 in you that

01:33:05.940 has at

01:33:06.840 least rumored

01:33:08.280 or suspected

01:33:09.120 future problems?

01:33:11.260 That's a

01:33:12.000 risk that

01:33:12.560 you wouldn't

01:33:13.860 have if you

01:33:14.520 didn't have

01:33:14.900 it.

01:33:15.680 You have

01:33:16.420 no risk

01:33:16.920 from the

01:33:17.300 virus because

01:33:17.960 it doesn't

01:33:18.400 exist, but

01:33:20.080 you do have

01:33:20.620 a risk for

01:33:21.280 whatever's in

01:33:21.860 your body

01:33:22.260 that might

01:33:23.280 have an

01:33:23.600 unpredictable

01:33:24.100 outcome.

01:33:25.660 How in

01:33:25.980 the world

01:33:26.300 do you

01:33:26.520 fact check

01:33:26.960 that is

01:33:27.320 wrong?

01:33:30.720 Now, the

01:33:32.180 context that

01:33:32.980 she also

01:33:33.700 didn't understand

01:33:34.560 is that I

01:33:35.780 thought it

01:33:36.080 was funny,

01:33:37.200 like a

01:33:37.880 prank, to

01:33:39.220 say that

01:33:39.600 out loud,

01:33:40.520 because I

01:33:40.860 knew it

01:33:41.080 would be

01:33:41.320 misinterpreted.

01:33:42.560 And it

01:33:43.100 was.

01:33:43.940 So I

01:33:44.580 did it to

01:33:45.000 be humorously

01:33:46.520 misinterpreted.

01:33:48.540 And what it

01:33:49.300 caused was for

01:33:50.020 this big

01:33:50.440 outpouring of

01:33:51.100 support for

01:33:51.740 me saying

01:33:52.940 that I

01:33:53.420 was a

01:33:53.680 good guy

01:33:54.060 because I

01:33:54.420 admitted I

01:33:56.840 was wrong.

01:33:58.660 But I

01:33:59.260 didn't ever

01:33:59.680 admit I

01:34:00.040 was wrong

01:34:00.460 because I

01:34:01.100 wasn't.

01:34:02.060 The decision

01:34:02.940 I made was

01:34:04.120 at a certain

01:34:04.900 time with a

01:34:05.540 certain amount

01:34:05.980 of information,

01:34:06.620 and I was a

01:34:08.160 special case of

01:34:09.500 a certain age

01:34:10.220 with comorbidities,

01:34:12.360 you know,

01:34:12.700 asthma.

01:34:14.480 So you can't

01:34:15.660 judge whether my

01:34:16.420 decision was

01:34:17.160 right or wrong,

01:34:18.140 the decision

01:34:18.760 part, but you

01:34:20.140 can judge

01:34:20.920 whether the

01:34:21.660 outcome was

01:34:22.240 wrong.

01:34:23.640 So the

01:34:24.280 outcome was

01:34:24.820 wrong.

01:34:26.020 If I had a

01:34:26.860 choice, I'd

01:34:28.160 rather not have

01:34:28.880 the vaccination

01:34:29.420 in me sitting

01:34:31.120 here today,

01:34:31.740 because it's not

01:34:33.020 helping me in

01:34:34.240 any way, but

01:34:35.720 it might hurt

01:34:37.240 me.

01:34:37.620 I don't know.

01:34:38.360 I'm not aware

01:34:39.160 of any hurt.

01:34:40.900 It's the most

01:34:41.660 obvious thing in

01:34:42.420 the world.

01:34:43.080 Now, if you

01:34:43.400 want to argue

01:34:43.960 whether I made

01:34:44.780 the best choice

01:34:45.500 at the

01:34:45.900 time, I

01:34:47.180 did, because

01:34:49.140 even today, the

01:34:50.840 statistics say

01:34:51.820 that people like

01:34:52.480 me improve

01:34:53.780 their odds, and

01:34:55.200 that was all I

01:34:55.740 was trying to

01:34:56.160 do.

01:34:56.760 I was trying to

01:34:57.280 improve my

01:34:58.020 odds, and

01:34:59.500 usually the

01:35:00.320 people who

01:35:00.660 disagree are

01:35:01.520 like super

01:35:03.220 healthy 35-year-olds

01:35:04.820 who are saying,

01:35:06.320 you idiot. 0.95

01:35:07.600 And I'm saying,

01:35:08.440 if I were a

01:35:09.680 super healthy

01:35:10.240 35-year-old, I

01:35:12.560 well might have

01:35:13.220 made the same

01:35:13.760 decision you did,

01:35:14.520 but why are

01:35:14.940 you comparing

01:35:15.380 your decision

01:35:15.980 to my

01:35:16.320 decision?

01:35:17.340 They were not

01:35:18.000 the same

01:35:18.340 decision.

01:35:19.760 And then I

01:35:20.560 also wanted to

01:35:21.220 travel, and

01:35:21.840 blah, blah, blah.

01:35:23.000 So anyway, I

01:35:24.380 have fact-checked

01:35:25.380 on that.

01:35:26.760 You should

01:35:27.260 understand the

01:35:27.880 fact-check as

01:35:28.600 part of the

01:35:29.080 larger process

01:35:30.980 you're going to

01:35:31.580 see for the

01:35:32.180 next year, in

01:35:33.360 which everybody

01:35:33.940 who has an

01:35:34.480 audience and

01:35:35.900 might say

01:35:36.540 something positive

01:35:37.420 about a

01:35:38.040 Republican is

01:35:39.720 going to be

01:35:40.140 the subject of

01:35:40.840 one of these

01:35:41.220 hit pieces.

01:35:42.360 And it's going

01:35:43.040 to be relentless

01:35:43.980 between now and

01:35:45.020 Election Day.

01:35:46.240 So you should

01:35:46.940 expect this is

01:35:48.680 just the opening

01:35:49.420 salvo.

01:35:50.940 I guarantee

01:35:51.660 there's a

01:35:53.480 major article

01:35:54.380 being written

01:35:54.920 about me

01:35:55.620 right now.

01:35:57.000 You know

01:35:57.320 why?

01:35:58.320 Because I

01:35:59.020 guarantee

01:35:59.480 there's a

01:36:00.780 major article

01:36:01.520 being written

01:36:02.060 about everybody

01:36:02.740 who has any

01:36:03.600 influence in

01:36:04.580 politics.

01:36:05.980 Yeah, to

01:36:06.800 discredit them.

01:36:07.720 so Thomas

01:36:12.540 Massey talking

01:36:13.240 about Zelensky

01:36:14.840 visiting and

01:36:17.000 he tried to

01:36:18.580 get money for

01:36:19.200 Ukraine.

01:36:21.280 And Massey

01:36:21.780 explains, he

01:36:23.240 was on comic

01:36:24.000 Dave Smith's

01:36:25.260 podcast, and

01:36:26.680 he explained

01:36:27.120 that Afghanistan 0.79

01:36:28.540 has ended,

01:36:30.300 and according

01:36:30.720 to Massey,

01:36:31.320 there's about a

01:36:31.820 50 billion hole

01:36:32.780 in revenues

01:36:33.480 per year for

01:36:34.820 the military

01:36:35.820 industrial companies

01:36:37.280 in the U.S.,

01:36:38.360 and so they

01:36:38.880 have to

01:36:39.180 generate more

01:36:40.920 money to

01:36:41.380 cover the

01:36:41.740 hole, and

01:36:42.960 that that's

01:36:43.340 what they're

01:36:43.680 using Ukraine

01:36:44.440 for.

01:36:46.640 To me, that

01:36:47.540 explains everything.

01:36:50.840 And I

01:36:52.340 think Massey

01:36:52.900 was saying

01:36:53.360 that, you

01:36:54.600 know, if

01:36:54.940 you were to

01:36:55.360 sort of lay

01:36:57.100 out the

01:36:57.480 timeline, you

01:36:59.100 would see how

01:36:59.640 obvious it

01:37:00.280 is that the

01:37:01.500 military-industrial

01:37:02.460 complex is

01:37:03.220 backfilling new

01:37:04.180 wars whenever

01:37:05.580 an old war is

01:37:06.440 winding down.

01:37:07.280 It's very

01:37:08.420 obvious, right?

01:37:09.920 It's not a

01:37:10.380 coincidence.

01:37:12.000 So now our

01:37:13.380 new war is

01:37:14.180 giving money

01:37:14.680 to Israel,

01:37:16.060 which is

01:37:17.200 actually mostly

01:37:18.380 funneled back

01:37:19.120 to the

01:37:19.540 military-industrial

01:37:20.440 complex of

01:37:21.560 the U.S.,

01:37:22.560 because the

01:37:24.240 Ukraine thing

01:37:24.920 is harder to

01:37:25.560 fund.

01:37:26.640 So it looks

01:37:27.320 like Ukraine 0.92

01:37:27.900 is going to

01:37:28.360 wind down

01:37:29.000 exactly as

01:37:30.840 everybody knew

01:37:31.460 it would.

01:37:32.340 They're probably

01:37:33.020 going to negotiate

01:37:33.860 an end to the

01:37:34.560 war exactly

01:37:35.980 like everybody

01:37:36.660 knew they

01:37:37.220 would at

01:37:37.680 some point

01:37:38.340 and it

01:37:40.940 will be

01:37:41.300 exactly what

01:37:42.040 it looked

01:37:42.400 like.

01:37:43.260 It was

01:37:43.520 exactly what

01:37:44.200 it looked

01:37:44.460 like.

01:37:45.100 A huge

01:37:45.880 op to

01:37:47.180 suck the 0.98

01:37:47.820 money out

01:37:48.300 of your

01:37:48.620 pockets and

01:37:49.400 put it in

01:37:49.800 the pockets

01:37:50.240 of other

01:37:50.860 Americans who

01:37:51.660 were in

01:37:52.380 military

01:37:53.040 businesses.

01:37:54.320 It looks

01:37:55.120 like it

01:37:55.460 is exactly

01:37:56.040 what it

01:37:56.340 looked like.

01:37:59.220 Smedley

01:37:59.700 Butler.

01:38:00.420 Nope,

01:38:00.700 never Smedley

01:38:01.560 Butler.

01:38:04.620 Douglas

01:38:05.060 Murray.

01:38:05.900 Oh,

01:38:06.180 it was

01:38:06.420 actually

01:38:06.660 Douglas

01:38:07.000 Murray was

01:38:07.460 on the

01:38:07.840 Dave

01:38:08.700 Smith

01:38:08.980 podcast.

01:38:09.660 I think

01:38:09.980 Massey was

01:38:11.100 on some

01:38:11.660 other

01:38:11.900 podcast.

01:38:12.560 Douglas

01:38:14.940 Murray

01:38:15.340 was

01:38:17.620 debating

01:38:18.440 with

01:38:18.860 Cenk 0.79

01:38:19.800 Weger.

01:38:22.100 And

01:38:22.120 Douglas

01:38:23.780 Murray

01:38:24.160 has got

01:38:24.440 an

01:38:26.500 acerbic

01:38:27.120 wit.

01:38:28.180 So you

01:38:28.920 don't want

01:38:29.220 to be in

01:38:29.500 a debate

01:38:29.840 with him

01:38:30.200 because

01:38:30.500 you're

01:38:31.560 going to

01:38:31.760 get

01:38:31.980 sliced

01:38:32.620 up

01:38:32.840 pretty

01:38:33.020 badly.

01:38:34.280 But

01:38:34.540 he was

01:38:35.680 explaining

01:38:36.120 to

01:38:36.820 Cenk 0.79

01:38:37.980 that

01:38:39.780 he'd

01:38:41.860 spend

01:38:42.100 time

01:38:42.540 in

01:38:42.780 the

01:38:42.900 West

01:38:43.100 Bank

01:38:43.380 and

01:38:44.200 if

01:38:44.340 you

01:38:44.560 talk

01:38:44.960 to

01:38:45.100 the

01:38:45.260 Palestinians

01:38:45.900 that

01:38:46.360 even

01:38:46.720 today

01:38:47.280 if

01:38:48.260 you

01:38:48.400 held

01:38:48.680 an

01:38:48.860 election

01:38:49.220 today

01:38:49.760 not

01:38:50.500 just

01:38:50.760 in

01:38:50.960 Gaza

01:38:51.280 or

01:38:52.080 whatever

01:38:52.300 is

01:38:52.500 left

01:38:52.700 of

01:38:52.840 it

01:38:53.000 but

01:38:53.500 the

01:38:53.660 whole

01:38:53.840 West

01:38:54.120 Bank

01:38:54.440 that

01:38:55.980 the

01:38:56.180 Palestinians

01:38:56.700 would

01:38:57.160 elect

01:38:57.440 Hamas 0.96

01:38:57.840 again.

01:38:59.800 That

01:39:00.440 anything

01:39:01.180 you think

01:39:01.820 about

01:39:02.120 a lack

01:39:02.600 of

01:39:02.780 support

01:39:03.160 is

01:39:03.420 an

01:39:03.560 illusion.

01:39:04.960 That

01:39:05.200 the

01:39:05.480 citizens

01:39:06.100 are

01:39:06.540 largely

01:39:07.500 very

01:39:07.880 supportive

01:39:08.320 of

01:39:08.600 Hamas 0.96

01:39:09.040 and

01:39:11.300 that

01:39:11.620 there's

01:39:12.160 no

01:39:12.340 two

01:39:12.600 state

01:39:12.840 solution.

01:39:13.440 Basically

01:39:14.000 as

01:39:14.640 Douglas

01:39:14.960 Murray

01:39:15.220 says

01:39:15.580 and

01:39:16.200 I

01:39:16.440 say

01:39:16.700 as

01:39:16.900 well

01:39:17.140 you're

01:39:19.040 dreaming

01:39:19.380 if you

01:39:19.740 think

01:39:19.920 there's

01:39:20.160 a

01:39:20.280 two

01:39:20.480 state

01:39:20.680 solution.

01:39:21.920 There

01:39:22.480 can't

01:39:22.860 possibly

01:39:23.400 be

01:39:23.660 a

01:39:23.800 two

01:39:23.980 state

01:39:24.160 solution.

01:39:25.700 It's

01:39:25.960 so

01:39:26.160 impossible

01:39:26.720 because

01:39:27.800 one of

01:39:28.220 them

01:39:28.360 wants

01:39:28.580 to

01:39:28.780 kill

01:39:28.940 the

01:39:29.100 other

01:39:29.260 one.

01:39:30.880 No.

01:39:31.960 It

01:39:32.160 can't

01:39:32.380 possibly

01:39:32.740 happen.

01:39:33.420 The

01:39:33.600 only

01:39:33.820 thing

01:39:34.060 Israel

01:39:34.360 can

01:39:34.600 do

01:39:34.880 is

01:39:35.760 keep

01:39:36.080 them

01:39:36.300 under

01:39:36.680 its

01:39:37.220 boot.

01:39:37.500 for as

01:39:39.020 long

01:39:39.260 as

01:39:39.420 they

01:39:39.560 can.

01:39:41.760 Now

01:39:42.240 if you

01:39:42.940 say to

01:39:43.260 me

01:39:43.440 but

01:39:43.640 Scott

01:39:44.000 what

01:39:45.500 about

01:39:45.760 all

01:39:46.020 the

01:39:46.300 children

01:39:46.740 who

01:39:47.080 are

01:39:47.320 being

01:39:48.100 injured

01:39:48.480 and

01:39:48.720 killed

01:39:49.000 and

01:39:49.200 all

01:39:49.320 that

01:39:49.540 to

01:39:50.100 which

01:39:50.260 I

01:39:50.400 say

01:39:50.620 I

01:39:50.960 really

01:39:51.360 really

01:39:51.660 do

01:39:51.940 care

01:39:52.260 about

01:39:52.660 children.

01:39:53.040 I

01:39:54.920 have

01:39:55.560 the

01:39:55.660 same

01:39:55.880 instinct

01:39:56.280 you

01:39:56.500 do

01:39:56.680 which

01:39:57.020 is

01:39:57.200 for

01:39:57.860 some

01:39:58.120 reason

01:39:58.400 they

01:39:58.620 seem

01:39:58.820 more

01:39:59.020 valuable

01:39:59.420 I

01:40:01.100 guess

01:40:01.300 because

01:40:01.520 they

01:40:01.640 have

01:40:01.760 more

01:40:01.920 years

01:40:02.260 of

01:40:02.420 life

01:40:02.700 or

01:40:02.860 something

01:40:03.120 but

01:40:03.660 they

01:40:03.780 do

01:40:03.940 seem

01:40:04.180 more

01:40:04.400 valuable

01:40:04.840 like

01:40:05.940 I

01:40:06.080 have

01:40:06.180 the

01:40:06.300 same

01:40:06.580 internal

01:40:07.080 feeling

01:40:07.540 about

01:40:07.840 it

01:40:08.020 that

01:40:08.780 children

01:40:09.100 are

01:40:09.440 special

01:40:10.140 more

01:40:11.040 valuable

01:40:11.420 it's

01:40:12.200 just

01:40:12.340 built

01:40:12.600 into

01:40:12.820 us

01:40:13.060 however

01:40:15.120 under

01:40:16.760 the

01:40:16.980 very

01:40:17.200 special

01:40:17.740 condition

01:40:18.300 that

01:40:19.280 the

01:40:19.460 parents

01:40:19.840 have

01:40:20.040 weaponized

01:40:20.800 their

01:40:21.040 children

01:40:21.420 to

01:40:22.380 kill

01:40:22.580 me

01:40:22.820 I

01:40:24.580 don't

01:40:24.720 care

01:40:24.860 what

01:40:24.980 happens

01:40:25.260 to

01:40:25.400 those

01:40:25.580 kids

01:40:25.820 because

01:40:28.540 the

01:40:28.700 damage

01:40:28.980 is

01:40:29.160 already

01:40:29.380 done

01:40:29.660 if

01:40:30.540 you

01:40:30.640 turn

01:40:30.860 them

01:40:31.040 into

01:40:31.300 murderers

01:40:32.260 of

01:40:32.500 people

01:40:32.800 who

01:40:33.000 look

01:40:33.180 like

01:40:33.420 me

01:40:33.660 I

01:40:34.220 don't

01:40:34.360 care

01:40:34.520 if

01:40:34.640 they

01:40:34.740 get

01:40:34.880 murdered

01:40:35.180 I

01:40:36.140 don't

01:40:36.280 care

01:40:36.420 if

01:40:36.520 they

01:40:36.620 get

01:40:36.740 blown

01:40:36.960 up

01:40:37.160 in

01:40:37.280 a

01:40:37.400 bomb

01:40:37.600 at

01:40:38.240 all

01:40:38.480 not

01:40:39.300 even

01:40:39.440 a

01:40:39.580 little

01:40:39.680 bit

01:40:39.920 I

01:40:41.580 think

01:40:41.900 you

01:40:42.040 could

01:40:42.220 have

01:40:42.440 extreme

01:40:43.340 empathy

01:40:44.960 for

01:40:45.280 children

01:40:45.740 of

01:40:46.900 all

01:40:47.120 types

01:40:47.500 and

01:40:48.660 still

01:40:48.960 make

01:40:49.460 a

01:40:49.660 distinction

01:40:50.100 for

01:40:50.400 somebody

01:40:50.720 who's

01:40:50.900 been

01:40:51.100 weaponized

01:40:51.740 to

01:40:51.920 kill

01:40:52.100 you

01:40:52.360 no

01:40:53.220 I

01:40:53.340 want

01:40:53.560 them

01:40:53.720 all

01:40:53.920 to

01:40:54.120 be

01:40:54.440 destroyed

01:40:54.880 as

01:40:55.140 quickly

01:40:55.400 as

01:40:55.620 possible

01:40:56.040 I

01:40:56.940 don't

01:40:57.080 care

01:40:57.240 how

01:40:57.400 you

01:40:57.520 do

01:40:57.680 it

01:40:57.880 you

01:40:59.660 could

01:40:59.840 commit

01:41:00.060 a war

01:41:00.380 crime

01:41:00.620 for

01:41:00.760 all

01:41:00.880 I

01:41:01.020 care

01:41:01.200 I

01:41:02.340 mean

01:41:02.480 if

01:41:02.620 they're

01:41:02.760 coming

01:41:02.960 to

01:41:03.140 kill

01:41:03.280 me

01:41:03.560 do

01:41:04.620 whatever

01:41:04.860 you

01:41:05.040 need

01:41:05.220 to

01:41:05.340 do

01:41:05.660 fucking

01:41:06.360 kill

01:41:06.640 them

01:41:06.840 I'm

01:41:07.780 just

01:41:07.900 saying

01:41:08.080 it

01:41:08.240 out

01:41:08.380 loud

01:41:08.680 right

01:41:12.440 loud

01:41:12.680 if

01:41:12.860 you're

01:41:13.020 Israel

01:41:13.360 but

01:41:14.740 it's

01:41:15.000 certainly

01:41:15.240 how

01:41:15.480 I

01:41:15.720 would

01:41:15.880 feel

01:41:16.120 if

01:41:17.040 I

01:41:17.200 were

01:41:17.300 an

01:41:17.400 Israeli

01:41:17.740 citizen

01:41:18.220 I

01:41:18.920 wouldn't

01:41:19.100 give a

01:41:19.440 shit

01:41:19.680 about

01:41:19.940 the

01:41:20.160 Palestinian

01:41:20.680 children

01:41:21.140 at

01:41:21.700 all

01:41:21.960 not

01:41:22.960 even

01:41:23.120 a

01:41:23.280 little

01:41:23.380 bit

01:41:23.640 you

01:41:24.120 know

01:41:24.240 why

01:41:24.480 because

01:41:25.400 those

01:41:25.620 children

01:41:25.980 have

01:41:26.180 been

01:41:26.300 taught

01:41:26.560 to

01:41:26.760 grow

01:41:26.960 up

01:41:27.100 and

01:41:27.240 kill

01:41:27.420 me

01:41:27.660 so

01:41:31.080 I'm

01:41:31.180 just

01:41:31.320 being

01:41:31.500 honest

01:41:31.960 I

01:41:32.540 think

01:41:32.700 you

01:41:32.860 can

01:41:33.000 have

01:41:33.240 I

01:41:33.820 think

01:41:33.960 you

01:41:34.100 can

01:41:34.260 be

01:41:34.380 a

01:41:34.540 good

01:41:34.720 person

01:41:35.140 with

01:41:35.540 full

01:41:35.860 empathy

01:41:36.200 for

01:41:36.640 life

01:41:37.300 and

01:41:38.380 for

01:41:38.560 children

01:41:39.040 especially

01:41:39.560 and

01:41:40.520 still

01:41:40.760 say

01:41:40.960 this

01:41:41.160 is

01:41:41.300 really

01:41:41.540 a

01:41:41.720 special

01:41:42.000 case

01:41:42.460 this

01:41:43.180 is

01:41:43.300 not

01:41:43.480 like

01:41:43.780 anything

01:41:44.260 else

01:41:44.560 we've

01:41:44.800 seen

01:41:45.000 it's

01:41:45.380 not

01:41:45.520 like

01:41:45.720 world

01:41:45.960 war

01:41:46.200 two

01:41:46.440 it's

01:41:46.800 not

01:41:46.960 like

01:41:47.120 Vietnam

01:41:47.520 not

01:41:48.180 like

01:41:48.340 anything

01:41:48.640 I'm

01:41:49.880 not

01:41:50.020 going

01:41:50.140 to

01:41:50.200 say

01:41:50.340 this

01:41:50.520 about

01:41:50.780 the

01:41:51.020 children

01:41:52.440 who

01:41:52.740 died

01:41:52.960 in

01:41:53.100 Vietnam

01:41:53.480 I

01:41:54.560 have

01:41:54.720 full

01:41:54.900 empathy

01:41:55.240 for

01:41:55.520 that

01:41:55.880 for

01:41:56.740 example

01:41:57.100 in

01:41:58.140 Iraq

01:41:58.580 yeah

01:42:00.180 but

01:42:00.360 this

01:42:00.900 is

01:42:01.060 a

01:42:01.140 whole

01:42:01.240 different

01:42:01.480 situation

01:42:02.000 I

01:42:05.300 love

01:42:05.540 Glenn

01:42:05.900 Greenwald

01:42:06.360 talking

01:42:06.660 about

01:42:06.860 the

01:42:07.020 disinformation

01:42:07.560 industry

01:42:08.560 really

01:42:08.680 need

01:42:08.860 to

01:42:08.960 be

01:42:09.120 following

01:42:09.400 him

01:42:09.660 about

01:42:09.880 this

01:42:10.100 stuff

01:42:10.340 but

01:42:10.900 he

01:42:11.000 tells

01:42:11.220 us

01:42:11.440 that

01:42:11.700 the

01:42:12.200 so-called

01:42:12.640 disinformation

01:42:13.280 industry

01:42:14.000 all these

01:42:14.920 fake

01:42:15.280 entities

01:42:15.720 who are

01:42:16.060 trying

01:42:16.280 to

01:42:16.560 get rid

01:42:17.940 of

01:42:18.040 the

01:42:18.180 disinformation

01:42:18.820 it was

01:42:20.400 manufactured

01:42:21.080 after the

01:42:21.620 2016

01:42:22.160 election

01:42:22.740 and

01:42:24.180 the

01:42:24.500 job

01:42:25.760 title

01:42:26.080 disinformation

01:42:26.780 expert

01:42:27.360 is a

01:42:28.020 fake

01:42:28.340 credential

01:42:29.020 says

01:42:30.020 Glenn

01:42:30.300 and

01:42:31.080 its

01:42:31.260 only

01:42:31.480 purpose

01:42:31.840 was

01:42:32.120 to

01:42:32.320 justify

01:42:32.720 censorship

01:42:33.360 of

01:42:33.900 dissent

01:42:34.420 from

01:42:35.180 neoliberal

01:42:35.860 orthodoxies

01:42:36.680 by

01:42:37.280 masquerading

01:42:38.020 such

01:42:38.320 partisan

01:42:38.780 censorship

01:42:39.260 as

01:42:40.700 neutral

01:42:41.100 science

01:42:41.680 and he

01:42:43.620 calls out

01:42:44.060 Ben

01:42:44.340 Collins

01:42:44.900 and

01:42:45.800 Phil

01:42:46.080 Bump

01:42:46.420 as

01:42:47.560 two

01:42:47.920 who have

01:42:48.660 completely

01:42:49.560 left

01:42:50.400 any

01:42:51.040 pretense

01:42:53.120 of being

01:42:53.680 news

01:42:54.360 they're

01:42:55.420 just

01:42:55.800 disinformation

01:42:56.440 people

01:42:57.060 at this

01:42:57.640 point

01:42:57.900 and they're

01:42:58.800 really obvious

01:42:59.340 about it

01:43:00.220 wall street

01:43:02.120 journal

01:43:02.420 is

01:43:02.720 reporting

01:43:03.280 the

01:43:05.180 palestinian

01:43:06.200 number

01:43:06.880 estimates

01:43:08.400 for how

01:43:08.800 many people

01:43:09.200 have been

01:43:09.520 killed

01:43:09.760 in gaza

01:43:10.320 since the

01:43:10.840 war

01:43:10.960 started

01:43:11.360 and

01:43:12.560 for the

01:43:14.760 npcs

01:43:15.480 i would

01:43:16.460 like you

01:43:16.780 to come

01:43:17.120 in

01:43:17.400 as always

01:43:18.580 and say

01:43:19.740 but scott

01:43:20.520 you can't

01:43:21.980 really

01:43:22.280 trust

01:43:23.080 you can't

01:43:24.540 really trust

01:43:25.320 the hamas

01:43:26.040 estimates

01:43:26.680 so

01:43:27.760 since we

01:43:28.540 all know

01:43:29.060 that

01:43:29.440 it would

01:43:30.500 be important

01:43:30.920 for the

01:43:31.260 npcs to

01:43:32.020 say it

01:43:32.580 so make

01:43:33.720 sure you

01:43:34.040 say it

01:43:34.400 out loud

01:43:34.940 the thing

01:43:35.920 that we

01:43:36.200 all know

01:43:36.940 to make

01:43:38.200 yourself feel

01:43:38.860 like you're

01:43:39.500 alive

01:43:39.960 go

01:43:40.740 you do it

01:43:43.180 while i'm

01:43:43.420 talking

01:43:43.720 but i had

01:43:45.400 predicted

01:43:45.820 and early

01:43:47.480 on and i

01:43:48.040 think it's

01:43:48.560 going to be

01:43:48.860 right

01:43:49.120 that 20

01:43:50.120 000 was

01:43:50.900 going to

01:43:51.140 feel like

01:43:51.580 a magic

01:43:52.020 number

01:43:52.440 even though

01:43:53.860 it's not

01:43:54.400 a reliable

01:43:55.000 number

01:43:55.440 once it

01:43:56.680 gets into

01:43:57.100 the consciousness

01:43:57.820 it becomes

01:43:58.540 magic

01:43:58.980 and what i

01:43:59.960 mean by

01:44:00.320 that is

01:44:01.380 that when

01:44:02.040 the war

01:44:02.540 first started

01:44:03.180 i said

01:44:03.620 all right

01:44:03.960 just imagine

01:44:05.200 how you'd

01:44:05.660 feel if

01:44:07.320 a thousand

01:44:07.960 people were

01:44:08.600 killed in

01:44:09.320 gaza

01:44:09.680 and i'd

01:44:10.240 said well

01:44:10.580 you feel

01:44:10.960 bad for

01:44:11.340 the thousand

01:44:11.760 of course

01:44:12.420 but you'd

01:44:13.320 say okay

01:44:13.900 that's roughly

01:44:14.620 what they

01:44:15.840 killed in

01:44:16.340 israel

01:44:16.780 okay that's

01:44:17.400 about comparable

01:44:18.100 if you could

01:44:19.000 get the war

01:44:19.620 done at

01:44:21.140 a thousand

01:44:21.640 deaths

01:44:22.140 well that would

01:44:23.100 be amazing

01:44:23.980 like

01:44:24.560 tragedy

01:44:25.920 thousands

01:44:26.960 people

01:44:27.420 you don't

01:44:27.680 want to

01:44:27.820 die

01:44:27.920 but

01:44:28.140 amazing

01:44:28.880 if you

01:44:29.240 can do

01:44:29.440 it

01:44:29.660 and i

01:44:30.260 thought

01:44:30.420 well what

01:44:30.740 if it's

01:44:31.060 five thousand

01:44:32.100 people

01:44:32.520 five thousand

01:44:34.160 dying in

01:44:34.740 gaza

01:44:35.100 compared to

01:44:36.320 the i guess

01:44:36.800 1200 or

01:44:37.600 so in

01:44:38.160 israel

01:44:38.460 you'd say

01:44:39.720 well there's

01:44:41.080 a historical

01:44:41.800 precedent for

01:44:42.620 that

01:44:42.880 right

01:44:43.900 israel

01:44:44.900 does seem

01:44:45.540 to kill

01:44:45.920 five to

01:44:46.460 one

01:44:46.720 you know

01:44:47.280 when

01:44:47.520 when there's

01:44:48.280 a you

01:44:49.100 know

01:44:49.240 a cause

01:44:49.840 so i'd

01:44:51.060 say all

01:44:51.660 right i

01:44:51.960 can live

01:44:52.340 with that

01:44:52.840 as sort

01:44:53.940 of baseline

01:44:54.520 but what

01:44:56.160 if it's

01:44:56.520 ten thousand

01:44:57.520 ten thousand

01:45:00.080 would feel

01:45:00.660 above baseline

01:45:01.500 but ten

01:45:02.100 to one

01:45:02.460 wouldn't be

01:45:02.980 so far

01:45:04.160 out of the

01:45:04.540 ordinary

01:45:04.960 they would

01:45:06.460 necessarily

01:45:07.200 change

01:45:08.060 everything

01:45:08.440 but what

01:45:10.300 if it's

01:45:10.640 twenty thousand

01:45:11.560 now again

01:45:13.280 that's based

01:45:14.540 on the

01:45:14.880 unreliable

01:45:15.720 reports

01:45:17.080 from you

01:45:17.840 know one

01:45:18.200 side that's

01:45:18.700 losing

01:45:19.000 but what

01:45:20.460 if it is

01:45:21.000 or more

01:45:22.200 importantly

01:45:22.620 what if

01:45:23.320 the news

01:45:23.980 starts

01:45:24.560 reporting

01:45:25.060 that number

01:45:25.660 and even

01:45:26.500 if they

01:45:26.860 start giving

01:45:27.420 you the

01:45:27.800 caveats

01:45:28.340 it's like

01:45:28.660 well

01:45:29.000 you know

01:45:29.840 it comes

01:45:30.180 from this

01:45:30.600 source

01:45:31.020 it's not

01:45:32.460 going to

01:45:32.680 matter

01:45:32.880 after a

01:45:33.300 while

01:45:33.520 your brain

01:45:34.720 will start

01:45:35.180 to forget

01:45:35.640 the source

01:45:36.340 and it

01:45:37.400 will just

01:45:37.660 be in

01:45:38.260 there

01:45:38.440 repeated

01:45:38.860 it's a

01:45:39.760 big round

01:45:40.260 number

01:45:40.680 and it's

01:45:42.520 in the

01:45:42.820 category

01:45:43.240 that i

01:45:43.980 would

01:45:44.140 i think

01:45:45.060 other people

01:45:46.480 are going

01:45:47.360 to say

01:45:47.640 that's clear

01:45:48.260 evidence of

01:45:48.860 genocide

01:45:49.360 at 20,000

01:45:51.460 you can't

01:45:53.300 call it a

01:45:53.740 war anymore

01:45:54.360 especially

01:45:55.460 since they're

01:45:56.120 saying most

01:45:56.620 of them are

01:45:56.960 women and 0.99

01:45:57.380 children which

01:45:58.020 we don't

01:45:58.400 know to be

01:45:58.820 true

01:45:59.040 i don't

01:45:59.980 know that

01:46:00.280 that's

01:46:00.520 true

01:46:00.720 but

01:46:01.640 so i'm

01:46:03.280 only talking

01:46:03.680 about the

01:46:04.020 psychology

01:46:04.580 of it

01:46:04.980 not the

01:46:05.380 reality

01:46:05.760 reality is

01:46:06.680 we don't

01:46:07.020 know how

01:46:07.320 many

01:46:07.480 were killed

01:46:07.860 but the

01:46:09.920 other reality

01:46:10.480 is that

01:46:11.560 the reporting

01:46:12.220 a big

01:46:12.740 round number

01:46:13.400 and our

01:46:14.460 media is

01:46:15.220 reporting what

01:46:15.940 they're

01:46:16.140 reporting

01:46:16.520 it's a

01:46:17.600 bad

01:46:17.980 situation

01:46:18.640 for israel

01:46:19.540 i think

01:46:21.440 that the

01:46:22.760 the g

01:46:23.340 word

01:46:23.700 genocide

01:46:24.840 gets

01:46:26.520 activated

01:46:27.140 by reporting

01:46:29.240 that it's

01:46:30.040 20,000

01:46:30.660 casualties

01:46:31.280 i think

01:46:32.420 that's the

01:46:32.980 point

01:46:33.280 where somebody

01:46:34.420 who is just

01:46:34.920 sort of

01:46:35.280 observing from

01:46:36.160 the middle

01:46:36.580 says oh

01:46:38.340 shit

01:46:38.740 that's a

01:46:39.920 fucking

01:46:40.120 genocide

01:46:40.560 now the

01:46:42.860 people who

01:46:43.280 are you

01:46:43.640 know strong

01:46:44.120 partisans

01:46:44.740 aren't going

01:46:45.100 to budge

01:46:45.560 the strong

01:46:46.580 partisans on

01:46:47.260 each side

01:46:47.560 they're not

01:46:47.800 going to

01:46:47.940 budge

01:46:48.080 doesn't

01:46:48.520 matter if

01:46:48.780 it's 20,000

01:46:49.580 or some

01:46:50.040 other number

01:46:50.560 you know

01:46:51.260 they're hardened

01:46:51.740 in their

01:46:52.180 opinion

01:46:52.480 but there

01:46:53.360 is this

01:46:53.820 big middle

01:46:54.480 group of

01:46:55.320 people who

01:46:56.060 could be

01:46:57.340 persuaded a

01:46:58.220 little bit

01:46:58.540 either way

01:46:59.080 and that

01:46:59.960 20,000

01:47:00.660 number is

01:47:01.060 going to

01:47:01.180 be a

01:47:01.420 real problem

01:47:02.240 for israel

01:47:02.840 they're going

01:47:04.060 to need to

01:47:04.700 find a

01:47:05.380 counter story

01:47:06.440 to the

01:47:07.480 20,000

01:47:08.160 and i haven't

01:47:08.800 heard it

01:47:09.140 yet but

01:47:10.060 they need

01:47:10.340 to work

01:47:10.620 on that

01:47:10.900 right away

01:47:11.380 because if

01:47:12.240 the word

01:47:12.580 genocide

01:47:13.040 becomes the

01:47:14.620 most common

01:47:16.180 word you see

01:47:16.940 in the comments

01:47:17.760 and the

01:47:18.180 criticisms

01:47:18.700 and the

01:47:19.420 tv shows

01:47:20.240 that is a

01:47:22.360 permanent

01:47:22.920 stain on

01:47:23.840 israel that

01:47:25.040 won't just

01:47:25.520 be cosmetic

01:47:26.360 it will

01:47:28.240 actually go

01:47:28.920 to their

01:47:29.280 existence

01:47:29.900 because they

01:47:31.460 need to have

01:47:32.080 they need to

01:47:33.320 have a narrative

01:47:34.000 that supports

01:47:34.780 them because

01:47:36.000 they're such a

01:47:36.620 small country

01:47:37.260 right you need

01:47:38.580 the psychology

01:47:39.260 to be on your

01:47:39.940 side just to

01:47:40.580 stay alive

01:47:41.040 and that could

01:47:42.500 really work

01:47:43.000 against the

01:47:43.440 psychology

01:47:43.920 and that

01:47:46.840 ladies and 0.98

01:47:47.300 gentlemen
