Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2340 CWSA 01⧸01⧸24 2024 Starts With Stories Of Brainwashing, Corruption, Humorous Stupidity

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to 2024, and also the show.

00:00:10.160 This is the most amazing thing you're going to see today, because most of the other people

00:00:13.840 are on vacation, but not me.

00:00:16.140 No, every day.

00:00:18.000 You're like clockwork.

00:00:19.340 It's called dependability.

00:00:20.860 And if you'd like to take this experience up to a level that you can barely understand,

00:00:26.180 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask

00:00:31.580 or a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:34.880 I like coffee.

00:00:36.260 And join me now, the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine to the day, the thing that makes

00:00:41.220 everything better.

00:00:43.020 It's called the Simultaneous Seven Apples.

00:00:44.740 Now go.

00:00:45.200 Or as Jill Biden likes to say about Joe, and ice cream. 0.58

00:00:57.380 And ice cream.

00:01:01.160 Well, let's talk about the news.

00:01:03.740 Mickey Mouse is officially, well, only the 1928 version of Mickey Mouse, is officially

00:01:08.900 off of copyright protection.

00:01:10.600 So, if you want to use Mickey Mouse, only the black and white original, don't use the

00:01:20.460 modern one.

00:01:21.860 I guess you can now.

00:01:24.100 It took approximately 7.6 seconds for somebody to use AI to make themselves their own Mickey

00:01:30.680 Mouse animation.

00:01:34.980 You can see Brian Ramelli is already tweeting about that.

00:01:37.860 That didn't take long.

00:01:38.560 Well, I feel bad for Japan. 0.93

00:01:41.140 They had a 7.6 earthquake with some minor tsunamis.

00:01:46.940 7.6?

00:01:49.580 Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that bigger than any earthquake in America ever?

00:01:55.800 Or at least since we've been keeping track of them?

00:02:00.580 We've never had anything like that in America, have we?

00:02:03.920 No?

00:02:04.760 Somebody says yes?

00:02:05.900 No?

00:02:06.140 Oh, in Alaska, somebody says.

00:02:08.560 Alaska was bigger.

00:02:10.620 Okay.

00:02:11.400 1906.

00:02:12.900 Could we really measure it in 1906?

00:02:15.780 Could we?

00:02:17.060 Maybe.

00:02:18.660 Alaska added a 9.3.

00:02:20.820 Wow.

00:02:22.420 Holy cow. 0.89

00:02:26.940 No, I don't know who that is.

00:02:29.320 All right.

00:02:29.680 Well, I saw the videos and I didn't see, did not see damage that looked like 7.6 damage,

00:02:37.480 but it's pretty bad.

00:02:39.280 But I'm going to scratch that off my list of places to move to.

00:02:44.680 Do you know what scares me more than just about anything?

00:02:49.020 Being on any kind of an island nation that has natural disasters, that's the problem with Hawaii.

00:02:59.240 Because you've got your tsunami risk, and you've got your volcano risk, and you've got your North Korea is going to nuke you risk. 0.81

00:03:07.700 Where the hell do you go?

00:03:09.020 Well, I know it's more psychological than real, but the thought of being on the island of Japan, when there's a tsunami and a 7.6 earthquake, it just feels uncomfortable.

00:03:28.040 I don't know.

00:03:28.360 I think it was going to...

00:03:29.020 Santorini blew up?

00:03:33.040 No, it didn't.

00:03:35.040 Did it?

00:03:37.740 All right.

00:03:39.440 There's apparently a new car, Chinese car company, backed by Volkswagen.

00:03:45.440 There's a new car coming out this month that will not have a lithium-ion battery.

00:03:50.800 So there's now going to be a real electric car that has a different technology for the battery,

00:03:57.180 which is sort of a really big deal.

00:04:00.340 It's a sodium-ion battery.

00:04:02.160 So it's got some disadvantages.

00:04:03.940 It's lower density, so fewer miles, but apparently it operates better in the cold.

00:04:11.080 So I don't think there are any...

00:04:13.940 There are few things that would be more positive going into 2024 than competing battery technology,

00:04:22.300 especially if one of them does not require lithium.

00:04:27.180 So that's a small story that might be a big story.

00:04:30.800 It could be a big deal.

00:04:33.340 Well, let's talk about backwards science.

00:04:37.880 Backwards science.

00:04:40.080 A science that we might have the causation backwards.

00:04:42.960 And this time, I am guilty.

00:04:46.680 That's right.

00:04:47.880 I have made the mistake of reversing my causation.

00:04:51.860 Maybe.

00:04:53.120 I'm going to give myself partial credit, because I think the causation works both ways, but here's

00:04:58.540 the question.

00:04:59.840 Do you think the smartphone use makes teenagers more depressed and more anxious?

00:05:05.700 Yes or no?

00:05:06.160 Does smartphone use make teenagers more depressed and more anxious?

00:05:13.680 Well, I've been saying it's obvious that it does.

00:05:16.540 But I saw a note on X from a doctor, Val Zudans, who says there's a sleight of hand in the

00:05:27.120 causality.

00:05:28.400 You have my attention, doctor.

00:05:30.600 What are you trying to say?

00:05:31.860 And the doctor thinks that it's just as likely that the causation goes the other way, that

00:05:38.760 if you are anxious and depressed, you might reach for your phone as part of your relief

00:05:45.300 for your anxiousness and your depression.

00:05:48.120 How many of you would accept that that is likely true, that being depressed and anxious makes

00:05:54.780 you reach for your phone as opposed to reaching out to human beings to spend time with?

00:06:01.860 Yeah, I think so.

00:06:03.620 So I'm going to accept this causation direction, but I think it's got to be both.

00:06:12.160 To me, it's obvious it's both, right?

00:06:16.240 Wouldn't you agree?

00:06:17.580 But once you hear this, you say to yourself, yeah, that's probably right.

00:06:20.780 It probably does reinforce itself.

00:06:23.000 But I think also it's causing it.

00:06:27.260 So I would guess it's both.

00:06:28.960 But it's a little bit backward science, so I'll take that criticism.

00:06:38.420 I saw one commenter called The Jiggler, just a person on the X platform.

00:06:45.520 And I won't use his language, but he's suggesting that young men are less attracted to young women

00:06:52.080 and they have less to work for, and therefore they're not happy because there's nothing to work for.

00:07:02.940 What do you think of that?

00:07:04.960 Do you think that young men are saying to themselves, well, I don't really have the goal?

00:07:10.560 Well, when I was a young man, it seemed obvious that everybody needed to grow up and find themselves a good woman and get married.

00:07:20.240 And we were all sort of brainwashed into thinking that was the model.

00:07:26.200 Now, that also gave a sense of purpose.

00:07:30.400 I felt that as a male in America, I had a clear purpose.

00:07:37.760 You are supposed to get a job and contribute.

00:07:40.960 You are supposed to get married and be a productive part of the society, et cetera.

00:07:46.760 But all of those good intentions, how did I compress those good intentions into my teenager mind?

00:07:56.400 All that stuff about being a good citizen and getting a job, how did I think about it as a teenager?

00:08:05.020 Well, what I thought about was I sure would like to be worthy of having a really good mate.

00:08:13.620 I probably used more coarse language in my teenage mind, but you know what I talk about.

00:08:18.340 Like I thought that I had to make myself into a creature that could be worthy of having a family or a spouse.

00:08:29.440 And so that was like a mission.

00:08:31.540 I knew what to do every day when I woke up.

00:08:34.100 I'd wake up and I'd be like, okay, am I learning something today because I'm going to need to learn something?

00:08:39.660 Am I getting healthier?

00:08:41.380 Am I exercising?

00:08:42.720 Am I improving my body?

00:08:44.320 Did I, you know, work on the things I need to work on?

00:08:47.220 Did I figure out how to talk to people?

00:08:49.320 So I always felt like I knew exactly what I needed to do.

00:08:54.060 But just to explore this point made by the jiggler, he calls himself.

00:09:01.760 Do you think there's something to the point that if you remove the incentive, it changes the behavior of the people?

00:09:09.080 It always does.

00:09:10.400 Do you think that the incentive for teenagers is less?

00:09:14.980 Because when they look at the real world, they're not seeing much that they like compared to what we did as, you know, when I was a kid.

00:09:22.000 And when they look at porn, they like it a lot.

00:09:24.820 And they look at their phone, they like it a lot.

00:09:26.920 But human beings are worth less because they made themselves worth less.

00:09:31.440 You know, you see a lot of the people on social media.

00:09:36.460 I'm not sure I agree with this, but it's becoming a common theme.

00:09:41.320 That the men are saying, and again, this is not my opinion.

00:09:45.400 I'm describing what men on social media are saying.

00:09:48.980 So the people who propose that they are experts in relationships, or they act like they are,

00:09:53.560 that they say that the women are degrading their value by having lots of what they call body count. 0.95

00:10:01.120 In other words, lots of sexual partners.

00:10:04.380 How many of the men watching this would agree with the somewhat sexist view that the value of a woman goes down the more sexual partners she has had before you meet with her?

00:10:18.580 Now, I'm not going to agree with that or disagree with that.

00:10:21.880 I'm just going to tell you what the comments are.

00:10:24.100 Almost all yes.

00:10:26.320 It's a wall of yes with a sprinkling of no's.

00:10:30.420 All right.

00:10:30.920 So if it's a wall of yes, I'm going to separate from the question of whether that's a valid or fair or, you know, woke opinion.

00:10:42.380 I'm not going to deal with whether it's true or false.

00:10:45.040 I will simply note it's a common opinion.

00:10:48.580 It did not exist because it didn't need to when I was a kid.

00:10:54.140 So if you take the female population and you remove its value to the young men, 0.68

00:11:01.420 what would be the effect on the mental health of the young men who basically wake up every day with one purpose in life,

00:11:11.020 being valuable to that class of people?

00:11:14.200 You wake up and there's no point.

00:11:16.840 What's the point?

00:11:18.580 What would be the point of exercising and being healthy and making a lot of money?

00:11:23.140 What are you chasing?

00:11:25.180 You're not chasing anything.

00:11:27.740 So I'm just sort of spitballing here.

00:11:30.640 I don't want to get into the question of whether having a lot of sex partners makes you less valuable.

00:11:37.700 I feel that's a little creepy and maybe none of my business.

00:11:40.860 And I don't know what the science is on that.

00:11:43.120 So I'm not going to weigh into that.

00:11:44.400 But you can see that it's a common opinion.

00:11:47.900 Now, if men, if men see the value of the potential women they would be chasing as much lower,

00:11:56.460 they see that the value they can add to the woman is much lower than it used to be.

00:12:01.460 This woman can get a job and buy a gun and protect herself. 1.00

00:12:05.500 And if you see that porn went from being kind of interesting to all men to really addictive,

00:12:14.640 because now they can give you exactly what you want.

00:12:17.700 You know, it's not this generic stuff of the old days.

00:12:20.900 These two dumpy people humping it down on a black and white film.

00:12:26.260 Now you can see exactly what you want.

00:12:28.540 It's a big difference.

00:12:29.980 So it makes sense that mating and our entire social structure is being ripped apart by these modern forces.

00:12:39.140 No big surprise.

00:12:40.860 But let's talk about Sam Britton.

00:12:43.360 You know Sam Britton?

00:12:44.460 He was Biden's, he used to be the top nuclear expert in the administration.

00:12:49.080 But he was accused of stealing luggage from three different airport carousels.

00:12:56.760 But the news was that apparently he's still free.

00:13:00.880 So stealing luggage three separate times does not put you in jail, at least right away.

00:13:06.260 But here's what I feel bad about.

00:13:09.820 Sam Britton is going to have trouble forming personal relationships in the future.

00:13:16.100 You know why, right?

00:13:17.340 Right.

00:13:19.080 Too much baggage.

00:13:23.460 Yeah, that's your first dad joke of 2024.

00:13:26.620 You're welcome.

00:13:27.700 You're welcome.

00:13:28.860 Too much baggage.

00:13:31.440 Well, there's a fake news story about Bill Clinton being unmasked as Doe36.

00:13:37.540 And he's mentioned more than 50 times in the new Jeffrey Epstein document dump.

00:13:45.920 So that's bad for Bill Clinton, right?

00:13:48.400 Because he's named 50 times in the new Epstein document dump.

00:13:53.720 So, wow.

00:13:54.800 50 times.

00:13:55.920 That's a lot.

00:13:58.060 It's fake news.

00:14:00.120 You know why it's fake news?

00:14:01.200 Most of the references are people talking about him.

00:14:07.060 It's not anything he did.

00:14:09.460 It makes it sound like he did 50 things that have to do with Epstein.

00:14:14.920 No.

00:14:15.740 There were simply people who mentioned him 50 times in various contexts.

00:14:19.760 That was it.

00:14:21.020 So, do I think that Bill Clinton is totally innocent from all suspicious activity on Epstein

00:14:29.240 Island?

00:14:30.300 No.

00:14:31.420 No.

00:14:32.100 I don't know one way or the other.

00:14:33.440 But I will tell you that the news is designed to make you think there's more there than

00:14:41.120 they found.

00:14:42.580 What's there?

00:14:43.160 I don't know.

00:14:44.460 But this document dump added absolutely nothing to our knowledge of Bill Clinton and Epstein.

00:14:50.680 Everybody agree?

00:14:52.260 If you've looked at the article, is my take correct that there was literally nothing added

00:14:57.520 to our knowledge of Bill Clinton about anything?

00:15:01.080 I don't think it added anything.

00:15:05.900 All right.

00:15:06.540 We'll see.

00:15:07.080 Maybe more.

00:15:10.340 Would you like to feel better about the future?

00:15:13.940 You know, we always tell all these stories about the children of this generation are all

00:15:18.260 destroyed and bad and blah, blah, blah.

00:15:21.260 All right.

00:15:22.160 Here's something I heard from a young person yesterday.

00:15:24.840 And I want you to just feel how encouraging this is.

00:15:32.400 Your first reaction might be, well, that's not very encouraging, Scott.

00:15:36.540 But let us sink in.

00:15:38.200 Just let us sink in.

00:15:39.120 This is from a young person I overheard yesterday.

00:15:42.040 Quote, that whole Helen Keller story sounds suspicious.

00:15:45.580 What do you think?

00:15:53.500 Come on.

00:15:54.440 That's the best thing you've heard all year.

00:15:57.200 Well, it's early.

00:15:58.980 How much do you love the fact that we finally got to the point where a young person who maybe

00:16:05.260 is not completely steeped in what's new in the news, but even a young person is completely

00:16:11.780 aware that just because 100% of the media told you that Helen Keller did these things

00:16:18.200 which sound miraculous and almost impossible, it doesn't mean it happened.

00:16:25.920 That's it.

00:16:26.720 That's your key to the best future you could live.

00:16:33.120 I want to hear a young person say without any prompting, without hearing a story in the media,

00:16:39.560 listen to a story that sounds a little bit incredible, and say out loud, I'm not so sure that's even true.

00:16:48.300 Now, I have no idea whether the Helen Keller story is 100% true, but I don't care.

00:16:53.260 What I love is that there's a young person who heard it and said, you know what?

00:17:00.200 I'm a little bit skeptical.

00:17:03.320 Thank you.

00:17:04.980 Thank you, young people.

00:17:06.980 Maybe there's some hope.

00:17:10.860 All right.

00:17:11.440 Wall Street Journal was giving some scores to Joe Biden for his promises and how he kept them,

00:17:18.740 and they rated him on the economy, immigration, foreign policy, climate, and criminal justice.

00:17:24.920 Which of those five things do you think he got the highest score on?

00:17:29.240 Well, the answer is climate.

00:17:31.180 So he only got two out of five for economy, immigration, foreign policy, and criminal justice.

00:17:36.000 But on climate, he got three stars out of five.

00:17:39.080 That's right.

00:17:40.780 On the topic that probably isn't even real,

00:17:44.660 he did a little better than average.

00:17:46.260 The topics, which we're pretty sure are completely real, didn't do much at all.

00:17:54.260 So there seems to be a pattern that he does really well, well, really, really well,

00:17:59.980 on topics that are completely fake.

00:18:03.400 Or could be.

00:18:04.480 Don't know.

00:18:06.780 Here's a little context from Michael Schellenberger on Harvard's president, President Gay.

00:18:12.500 So as you know, she's embattled. 1.00

00:18:17.300 Is that a good word?

00:18:18.920 Embattled.

00:18:20.000 So she said some inelegant things about Hamas and Israel, and people asked her to resign.

00:18:27.160 And, of course, she's hanging on, trying not to lose her job.

00:18:31.500 And then, separately, she came in under fire for what people said was plagiarism,

00:18:38.340 but other people said was maybe a little bit too much duplicative work.

00:18:44.160 No, no, not any kind of plagiarism.

00:18:47.120 But a little bit, maybe a little bit too duplicative, sort of thing.

00:18:52.560 But here's some background.

00:18:53.720 Harvard's president, this is from Michael Schellenberger, Harvard's president rose to power

00:19:01.000 after attempting to force a black economist, Roland Fryer, out of the university on the

00:19:07.440 basis of weak and poorly substantiated sexual harassment charges, when her real motivation

00:19:13.880 appeared to be Fryer's research finding on racial inequality and policing, which were

00:19:20.020 antithetical to woke ideologies.

00:19:23.720 Oh, did you know that?

00:19:27.480 Now, there's a little bit of mind-reading of this, to be fair, because we don't know

00:19:33.420 what she was thinking.

00:19:34.920 But the interpretation, based on her actions, is that her real problem with this black economist,

00:19:41.260 Roland Fryer, was that his work was not supporting her opinion of racial situation in the country.

00:19:50.300 So she forced him out and took the job and made diversity hiring look like a really bad 0.94

00:19:56.440 idea.

00:19:57.580 So that wasn't a good year for her.

00:20:00.140 But I didn't know about that background, that she'd been one of the factors in forcing

00:20:05.640 out Roland Fryer.

00:20:07.020 But I do believe that he was forced out because his work was not popular.

00:20:17.640 That does seem fair.

00:20:19.260 So, you know, I'm saying Michael Schellenberger's doing some mind-reading, but so am I, because

00:20:24.220 I think in this case, it's kind of obvious.

00:20:27.380 Could be wrong.

00:20:28.760 You don't know what people are thinking for sure.

00:20:30.600 But it looks like it.

00:20:33.580 All right.

00:20:34.340 Laura Loomer had a fascinating post about something called contingent elections, which

00:20:42.060 I'd never heard of.

00:20:43.920 Do you know what that is?

00:20:45.420 The contingent election in the United States.

00:20:49.340 So listen to this, and I will ask you if I've got this wrong.

00:20:56.860 So there might be something I have wrong about this.

00:20:59.140 Now, the trigger for even talking about this is RFK Jr.'s campaign, which could have the

00:21:07.000 effect, if he does well, of at the end of the election, nobody has 270 electoral votes.

00:21:14.080 Now, you need that to be president.

00:21:16.680 So what do you do if you have an election in the United States and nobody, after a few rounds,

00:21:23.940 can get enough to be president according to the Constitution?

00:21:27.320 Well, it turns out that triggers a different process called a contingent election.

00:21:36.820 And apparently, whoever is in control of the House can just sort of pick whoever they want

00:21:43.560 for president.

00:21:45.200 So if the Republicans have a majority, they could, as long as they all agree, they could

00:21:50.040 just sort of pick a president.

00:21:51.080 I'm not entirely sure the president has to be running for office.

00:21:56.400 Is that even a requirement?

00:21:59.060 Can the Congress pick somebody who was not even in the election?

00:22:03.160 Just randomly pick somebody from among their own ranks?

00:22:07.760 Yeah.

00:22:09.100 Well, each state gets one vote.

00:22:15.100 But it's going to depend who controls the party as well.

00:22:21.080 Well, what do you think?

00:22:22.640 So I don't know if I understand the constitutional ins and outs of this completely, but there

00:22:29.800 does seem to be some non-zero chance that the election won't be what picks the president.

00:22:37.480 Maybe it's bigger than non-zero, huh?

00:22:40.320 What do you think?

00:22:41.860 Is this real?

00:22:42.700 And why are we hearing about it for the first time under Laura Loomer's account?

00:22:54.200 I feel like this would be an article in The Hill or something.

00:22:57.920 I don't know.

00:22:58.380 I feel like there's more to know about this.

00:23:00.240 So I'm going to put a tack in this story.

00:23:02.980 Put a tack in this one.

00:23:04.640 And just assume you don't know exactly the details of this thing.

00:23:09.360 But there's something out there floating around about maybe our process could be thwarted

00:23:14.780 under a certain specific set of circumstances.

00:23:21.020 Anyway, here's Bruce Bain, who's on the X platform, who gives us a lesson in what he

00:23:32.920 calls Money Laundering 101.

00:23:35.360 This might be stuff you already know, but every now and then I like to remind you how it's

00:23:41.420 all connected.

00:23:42.800 So it's not new news.

00:23:44.200 It's just connecting old news.

00:23:46.340 Here are the things that Bruce reminds us of.

00:23:50.880 The CIA led a Ukrainian coup in 2014.

00:23:54.560 I think we know that to be true, right?

00:23:57.320 2014 coup, the U.S. was behind it.

00:23:59.900 All right, so then the CIA and the U.S. create a proxy war with Russia.

00:24:06.920 That sounds about right.

00:24:09.100 Then the U.S. sends a huge amount of money to Zelensky.

00:24:13.200 True.

00:24:14.820 And then this next part, I need a fact check on this.

00:24:18.080 Is this true?

00:24:19.500 That Zelensky then donated, well, not donated, but invested in FTX, the big crypto scamming

00:24:28.020 thing.

00:24:28.260 Did that really happen?

00:24:30.800 Did Zelensky take American money and put it into FTX as an investment?

00:24:36.740 That's true?

00:24:37.540 Well, let me read the rest.

00:24:41.600 I need a fact check on that.

00:24:43.760 I have not seen that credibly reported.

00:24:47.600 I've seen it on social media.

00:24:49.600 But if there's a credible report that Zelensky put money into FTX, can you send me that link

00:24:55.520 on X?

00:24:57.180 It probably is.

00:24:57.960 I'm not saying it's not true.

00:24:59.020 I'm just saying I haven't seen that credibly reported.

00:25:04.040 Anyway, so then FTX gives a bunch of money to politicians.

00:25:10.340 And then they file for bankruptcy.

00:25:13.340 And then the U.S. dropped at least some of the charges against SPF.

00:25:18.920 Not all of them.

00:25:20.440 I don't know.

00:25:21.500 Does that whole thing look dirty to you?

00:25:23.600 Like it was all connected and part of the plan?

00:25:27.280 Or does it look like just a bunch of things that happened?

00:25:29.280 Well, it doesn't look like a plan.

00:25:33.500 It looks like an opportunistic situation that was corrupt.

00:25:39.660 Anyway, some time ago, we believed that the Tesla robot called Optimus would be launched

00:25:48.280 in December that just passed, which means it could be imminent.

00:25:53.740 Does anybody have an estimate?

00:25:54.880 I haven't seen one.

00:25:56.000 I looked for it, of when Tesla will launch its robot.

00:26:01.400 That's going to be this year, right?

00:26:04.520 If they were planning at the end of this last year, probably we're looking at the middle

00:26:10.040 of this year if they didn't hit that target.

00:26:13.240 Tomorrow?

00:26:15.800 Maybe.

00:26:19.400 Well, here's what's interesting.

00:26:21.880 I don't think we can understand how much that might change the world.

00:26:28.580 How quickly, let me do a poll of the viewers here.

00:26:32.620 How many of you would buy, I'm going to put a price on it.

00:26:35.620 Does anybody know what the price of Optimus will be?

00:26:38.560 It's going to be crazy expensive, the first ones, right?

00:26:41.760 Will it be like $100,000 or $20,000?

00:26:45.260 Does anybody have any idea?

00:26:47.960 I can't imagine it would be less than $20,000.

00:26:50.020 But I don't think you can sell many if it's over $100,000.

00:26:57.140 Somebody says $20,000, $25,000?

00:27:01.040 Unquote.

00:27:02.520 Elon said $20,000?

00:27:03.980 Did I literally just guess the price that Elon said?

00:27:07.340 Did that just happen?

00:27:09.400 Because I don't think the first ones will be priced based on their cost.

00:27:13.780 The first ones will have to be priced based on what people will buy.

00:27:19.120 And then if they can make enough of them, maybe they can lower their cost structure.

00:27:22.700 But the first ones will just be money losers for, I don't know, a few years.

00:27:27.640 $20,000 is the target.

00:27:28.660 $20,000.

00:27:30.280 All right.

00:27:31.160 Let's say you could get a Optimus for $20,000, a robot.

00:27:36.700 You could use it at home for whatever you want.

00:27:40.380 And you could teach it things like doing your ironing and emptying the dishwasher.

00:27:44.920 How many of you would get one in version 1.0?

00:27:48.720 Knowing that the software will keep improving, so it'll keep getting better.

00:27:53.660 How many would get one?

00:27:54.740 I feel like I might be version 1.1.

00:28:00.940 Maybe not 1.0.

00:28:03.480 Maybe not 1.0.

00:28:05.580 But 1.1?

00:28:06.960 If 1.0 looks good for the people who got it?

00:28:10.340 1.1.

00:28:12.280 I might wade into that.

00:28:13.920 I would definitely want a robot walking around my house for $20,000.

00:28:19.940 If it could really do chores.

00:28:21.700 You know, the other thing I would want it to do is make notes for me.

00:28:28.460 If I could just have my robot hanging around and make notes, here's what I'd love to do.

00:28:34.040 Hey, robot, here's like three things I need to do today.

00:28:37.440 Can you remind me?

00:28:39.060 And it'd be nice if you just send it to the printer.

00:28:43.400 And I walk over and I take from my printer a perfectly formatted list just because I talked to my robot.

00:28:49.920 And then the robot sends it to the printer.

00:28:52.680 That'd be cool.

00:28:54.180 I'd want that right away.

00:28:58.040 You already have that ability?

00:29:01.900 Not perfectly formatted.

00:29:05.560 I guess that's the difference.

00:29:08.000 All right.

00:29:08.340 Did you see Joe Biden's New Year's Eve interview with Ryan Seacrest?

00:29:15.060 Oh, my God.

00:29:17.280 That was cringy.

00:29:19.540 So somehow it looks like it was live.

00:29:22.620 So that means that they made Biden stay up till midnight.

00:29:26.160 Do you know what Biden at midnight looks like?

00:29:29.460 The first question was something about what he's eating.

00:29:32.720 Because that's why you ask the president of the United States, hey, how about the food?

00:29:38.400 What are you eating tonight?

00:29:40.220 And it appeared that he had to read the answer from the teleprompter.

00:29:43.960 I believe that the president of the United States had to read notes to tell us what food he likes and what he eats.

00:29:52.000 And then Jill had to lean over after he said he likes pasta.

00:29:56.420 And, you know, because it's funny.

00:29:59.720 She mentioned he'd like ice cream.

00:30:02.220 Oh, that's so funny.

00:30:03.800 Oh, you're so friendly and just like regular people.

00:30:07.560 That's what I thought.

00:30:09.400 I was like, you're just like regular people.

00:30:11.540 You talk like you joke.

00:30:13.720 You kid around.

00:30:15.260 Just like regular people.

00:30:17.500 How about your ice cream?

00:30:19.500 So that was pretty sad.

00:30:20.540 One of the things he said, though, was that he's brought a lot of jobs back from China.

00:30:26.720 As we said, our manufacturing over to China and lost our jobs.

00:30:31.680 But Joe says he's brought back those jobs.

00:30:36.120 Have you seen any indication that anything like that has happened?

00:30:41.360 Now, I do believe he is succeeding.

00:30:44.500 And I will give him full credit for this.

00:30:47.060 Full credit for certainly making some movement about, you know, reshoring some of the companies and moving them to other countries.

00:30:55.600 Basically getting out of China.

00:30:58.220 I do think he's done a non-trivial job in that direction.

00:31:05.240 But I feel like all of that has turned into maybe they're trying to build a factory.

00:31:13.360 But they haven't hired anybody yet, right?

00:31:16.200 What kind of jobs did it create? 0.61

00:31:18.460 I don't believe he's brought back even one manufacturing job to America.

00:31:22.800 Now, I know that Vietnam is spinning up and Mexico is spinning up. 0.67

00:31:27.080 But that's not American workers.

00:31:29.660 And I know that some chip companies are, you know, in advanced planning and even construction to, you know, build a plant.

00:31:37.300 But it's not built yet.

00:31:39.720 Isn't the number of manufacturing jobs he took back to America zero?

00:31:45.200 Am I wrong about that?

00:31:46.440 I feel like it's actually literally zero.

00:31:50.660 Now, again, I will compliment him.

00:31:53.500 He seems to be putting the right amount of energy into making sure that we can reclaim some of that, you know, manufacturing.

00:32:01.980 But it's going to take a while.

00:32:03.720 I think he might be getting ahead of his good work.

00:32:07.940 You know, it's going to be strange about 2024.

00:32:14.420 It's going to look like everything's going well.

00:32:18.600 Are you ready for that?

00:32:20.560 Because it's an election year and because the news wants things to look good when Biden's president, there will be a narrative forming.

00:32:30.360 It's already formed.

00:32:31.000 But 2024 is going to look like the year everything went right.

00:32:36.240 Unless it happens in another country, which they can't control. 0.82

00:32:39.720 But it's going to look like everything went right in 2024.

00:32:42.620 You're going to see that inflation goes down.

00:32:44.800 The stock market looks pretty good.

00:32:46.860 You're going to see customer optimism because the news will tell them to be optimistic.

00:32:51.240 You're going to see employment will probably stay good enough.

00:32:54.300 You're going to see us winding down two wars, probably, or at least, you know, we won't be getting more involved in the Middle East.

00:33:02.820 You'll probably see Saudi Arabia and Israel.

00:33:06.260 I'll talk about this in a minute.

00:33:07.560 Do something constructive.

00:33:09.300 You're probably going to see some manufacturing, as Joe said.

00:33:12.720 Come back to this country. 1.00

00:33:14.160 Good work on that, Joe Biden.

00:33:16.340 You're probably going to see just a whole bunch of things that look like good news.

00:33:22.480 Is that real?

00:33:26.160 Well, we'll believe it's real.

00:33:28.000 I also believe that immigration will start to substantially decrease as we get close to the election.

00:33:34.940 It won't be real, but it will be a story they can tell that they're on the way to solving it.

00:33:41.900 So they'll tell the story that it's working, even if it's not.

00:33:44.680 So the thing you should watch out for is if you feel all confident that the Republicans have, you know, good polling, substantial lead.

00:33:55.440 They've graded 800,000 manufacturing jobs since I've taken office.

00:34:03.360 Oh, and he got fact-checked on it.

00:34:05.280 The figure is 175 higher than the federal peak.

00:34:10.620 It's more accurate to say 589 jobs were recovered.

00:34:15.640 Okay, so he's exaggerating about the number of jobs recovered, which is the same thing all the presidents do.

00:34:26.280 So here's what you should be ready for.

00:34:29.400 You should assume that no matter how badly Trump is beating Biden in the polls for the next several months,

00:34:38.480 that by spring it's going to tighten up and Biden should pull ahead.

00:34:44.000 Do you know why?

00:34:46.060 Because everything will be going well.

00:34:48.180 That's what the news will tell you.

00:34:50.460 That doesn't mean it's true, but the news is going to tell you everything is trending well.

00:34:56.500 So, and people will be completely brainwashed by the news, as they always are,

00:35:01.400 and they're going to say to themselves,

00:35:02.840 why should we take a risk on this provocative Trump guy when everything's going in the right direction?

00:35:12.680 See the problem?

00:35:14.000 If you don't see the size of that risk, it's enormous.

00:35:19.100 The biggest risk for 2024 is that everything looks like it's going well.

00:35:25.800 Because that's how you get another four years of Biden.

00:35:30.740 And the news is absolutely going to tell you it's going well.

00:35:34.580 Absolutely.

00:35:35.020 Now, at the moment, it seems that the news is trying to push Joe out of the job.

00:35:41.800 But at some point, if they start to think that's not going to happen around the spring,

00:35:48.020 they're going to completely line up behind him because it's their best shot.

00:35:52.060 And they're going to say he got everything right and everything's going well.

00:35:56.760 So, do not assume that Trump becomes president or Vivek or anybody else

00:36:04.560 if everything looks like it's going well, according to the news.

00:36:11.020 And that's where we're heading.

00:36:13.120 And by the way, I think actually 2024 will be a good year.

00:36:17.180 Do you know why?

00:36:19.060 It's just time.

00:36:21.020 It's simply time for a good year.

00:36:23.080 Because we do have a cyclical economy and always have.

00:36:27.580 It always goes up and down.

00:36:28.940 And it's never going to go straight up.

00:36:32.020 It's never going to, I hope, never going to go straight down to nothing.

00:36:35.680 It's just going to always be this bumpy ride that we hope goes up on average.

00:36:40.460 So, we've been, you know, we got our teeth kicked in with the pandemic.

00:36:46.520 And so, it was just sort of time, given the natural energy of economics in the country.

00:36:53.280 It was time.

00:36:54.680 We were going to pull out of it.

00:36:56.800 And here we are, pulling out of it.

00:36:59.520 We reinvent, we fix, we tweak, we adjust.

00:37:04.080 And I'll say it again.

00:37:06.240 And this is totally, this is obnoxious sounding if you're not an American.

00:37:11.960 So, I'm going to apologize to all the non-Americans listening. 0.97

00:37:15.400 Because you could probably say the same thing about your own country.

00:37:18.200 But I'm going to speak just as sort of a proud American for a moment.

00:37:23.420 We're really good at fixing shit.

00:37:25.500 Really, really good at it.

00:37:29.140 Like, if everything goes wrong, we step up.

00:37:34.040 And so, I think 2024 is going to look like a correcting year in a lot of ways.

00:37:40.900 Economically, militarily, maybe a lot of ways.

00:37:44.840 Climate-wise, information-wise, free speech-wise.

00:37:48.420 It's going to be a lot of change.

00:37:49.380 I think that America has done what it always does, which is it found a way.

00:37:55.960 We're just really good at finding a way.

00:37:59.220 So, I think that will keep happening.

00:38:03.640 All right.

00:38:06.220 Here's a few things you should know about the publication called The Atlantic.

00:38:10.620 Now, you know the Steve Jobs widow took that Apple money and bought The Atlantic and turned 0.88

00:38:17.800 it into a largely, I'd say it's, let's say it's power in the world is political.

00:38:26.720 So, the political stories tend to be the ones you talk about from it.

00:38:31.280 And it's Democrat-centric.

00:38:35.580 But you've seen a bunch of stories from The Atlantic, right?

00:38:39.220 You know, you read social media and there'll be, oh, The Atlantic says this about Trump,

00:38:44.580 and The Atlantic says that about Trump, and The Atlantic says this about MAGA.

00:38:47.780 And they're always doing, you know, a hit job on either some friendly Republican or Trump or someone.

00:38:54.960 So, it's the hit jobs.

00:38:56.580 Here's some background you should know about The Atlantic.

00:39:00.100 Their entire readership is about 80% as large as the audience for any one of my posts on X.

00:39:11.720 So, I have a million followers on the X platform.

00:39:14.660 And The Atlantic's entire readership is a little over 800,000.

00:39:21.020 So, just so you know, its size is a little bit smaller than my account on X.

00:39:27.860 Just so you know, its size.

00:39:30.940 Now, they, of course, are left-leaning.

00:39:34.100 And so, the first thing I'm going to check, what's the first thing I'm going to check?

00:39:37.960 Well, I want to see a picture of their staff.

00:39:40.800 Know you?

00:39:41.420 Because if there's one thing I know about The Atlantic, they very much want to have a diverse staff.

00:39:52.720 And, in fact, they do a report every year.

00:39:55.280 They do a report on their own efforts for diversity.

00:39:58.520 So, I looked at the report for 2023.

00:40:01.720 Their staff is 62% white.

00:40:03.980 Now, I assume they're mostly white supremacists.

00:40:09.740 Because I've been told that you put that many white people in one place.

00:40:15.620 Mostly white supremacists.

00:40:17.820 Am I right?

00:40:19.080 Mostly.

00:40:20.020 So, mostly The Atlantic is white supremacists.

00:40:24.860 And they're very proud of their hiring.

00:40:27.320 So, this year, 72% of new hires were women.

00:40:32.060 Now, I take that back.

00:40:33.600 72% of new hires this past year identified as women.

00:40:38.000 They say that specifically.

00:40:40.480 Identified as women.

00:40:42.640 Now, if I were trying to get a job as The Atlantic, I'd probably identify as a woman. 1.00

00:40:48.280 I wouldn't change what I wore.

00:40:49.880 But, if I knew that 72% of the new hires were women, I don't think I would go in there and lead with my penis. 1.00

00:40:57.580 Here's what I wouldn't do.

00:40:59.340 Don't go into an interview at The Atlantic.

00:41:02.220 Unzip your pants.

00:41:04.120 Slap your piece on the desk.

00:41:06.180 Say, I'm a man.

00:41:08.060 And I'm here for a job.

00:41:09.880 That won't work.

00:41:11.240 That's not going to work.

00:41:12.400 No.

00:41:12.980 No, you need to identify as a woman. 0.98

00:41:16.300 That 72% of their new hires were women. 0.71

00:41:18.560 Now, here's what I think.

00:41:24.140 I think they need a lot more diversity.

00:41:26.980 Does anybody think they don't have enough diversity?

00:41:29.260 Because what they didn't say is what percentage of men work there already.

00:41:33.320 72% of the new hires are women.

00:41:35.120 But what?

00:41:36.340 It seems like they left out the most important thing.

00:41:39.140 Which is how many of the staff are men, especially in senior management.

00:41:44.240 Seems like there's none of that.

00:41:45.120 So, I found a new way to destroy all the publications that do hit pieces on me.

00:41:51.480 Do you know what it is?

00:41:52.500 I'm going to insist that they improve their diversity until they're out of business.

00:42:03.600 Now, let me be very clear.

00:42:06.040 Why do I say that increasing diversity will put them out of business?

00:42:09.700 Is it because I think the diverse people would do a worse job? 1.00

00:42:14.200 Nope, nope, nope.

00:42:15.940 It is not because of that.

00:42:17.300 It's not because of anything racial.

00:42:19.260 It's not because of anything gender-wise.

00:42:22.620 It is math.

00:42:24.060 If everybody is chasing the same small pool of qualified people, because every big company

00:42:29.800 wants to be diverse, the math suggests there won't be enough.

00:42:34.120 What will they do?

00:42:36.960 Will they hire white people and make things worse? 0.94

00:42:40.680 Or will they hire lesser qualified, diverse folks so that they can improve their diversity?

00:42:48.800 What do you think they'll do?

00:42:51.200 Well, I think they're quite committed to diversity, more so than competence and capability.

00:42:57.940 Now, I'm sure they like both of those things.

00:43:00.220 They want competence and capability.

00:43:01.760 They want diversity, but if you're in a hurry, you can't have both.

00:43:08.220 If you're willing to take your time, well, you've got a good shot at it because then you

00:43:12.960 don't have to rush and hire people that maybe you wouldn't have hired under normal circumstances.

00:43:17.780 You take your time.

00:43:19.280 Make sure if you've got a black candidate really qualified, good.

00:43:23.200 Female candidate really qualified, good. 1.00

00:43:26.460 Good job.

00:43:27.380 And then eventually, maybe you could reach some kind of situation that looks like the

00:43:31.540 country, and I'm in favor of that.

00:43:34.420 By the way, I say this all the time.

00:43:36.080 I don't know if you really believe it, but it's true. 0.96

00:43:38.600 I do think companies are better off, all things being equal, if you can get the same level of

00:43:44.140 capability, if the company roughly resembles the public.

00:43:51.100 That's a good thing.

00:43:52.000 As long as you're not giving something up to get that, if you have to give something up,

00:43:58.120 then it's a different story.

00:43:59.920 And the problem is just the pool of candidates.

00:44:03.340 It has nothing to do with anything racial.

00:44:05.880 It has nothing to do with anything gender.

00:44:07.740 It's just math.

00:44:09.560 So that's how I'm going to put my critics out of business in 2024.

00:44:12.380 I'm just going to highlight their lack of diversity and insist that they fix it.

00:44:18.100 And here's the important part, really quickly.

00:44:22.080 Do it quickly.

00:44:23.520 I'd like to see this taken care of by the end of the year.

00:44:26.540 Maybe you'll be on a business in two years, but I'd like to plan for the long run.

00:44:32.820 All right.

00:44:33.300 Tucker is saying out loud the thing that is so scary that Trump might be assassinated.

00:44:40.040 And let me give you his reasoning, which is, I hate to say it, rock solid, but it is.

00:44:49.440 All right.

00:44:49.660 Here's in Tucker's words, quote, I mean, just chart it out.

00:44:53.760 In the case of Trump, they started with protests.

00:44:56.840 They moved to impeachment.

00:44:58.880 Now they're at indictment.

00:45:00.740 None of it has worked.

00:45:02.160 What's next?

00:45:03.440 What could possibly be next?

00:45:05.340 If you felt and you really believed, and a lot of them do,

00:45:08.460 that the worst thing that could happen to the country,

00:45:12.280 and more specifically to you and the professional class,

00:45:15.780 is to have Donald Trump as president.

00:45:19.740 And they've been accelerating and what's left in their quiver.

00:45:24.660 And he said, and I think you should be prepared,

00:45:27.120 at least psychologically, for them to do anything.

00:45:30.080 And I don't think I've ever agreed with Tucker this much.

00:45:37.720 You need to be mentally prepared that they could take him out.

00:45:42.900 You really do.

00:45:45.040 Now, I don't want to talk it into existence,

00:45:47.560 because I think talking about it makes it more likely.

00:45:49.960 I feel very uncomfortable talking about it.

00:45:51.840 But it has now moved from, you know,

00:45:54.880 something that, you know, trolls will talk about

00:45:57.800 to something that seems like the most likely case.

00:46:02.160 So unless the news can destroy him before election day,

00:46:06.560 and they'll try pretty hard,

00:46:10.660 what else are they going to do?

00:46:13.700 Now, the trouble is,

00:46:14.980 if you picked a strong enough vice president,

00:46:20.020 they wouldn't be able to kill him.

00:46:24.060 Do you agree?

00:46:26.000 Do you know what Vivek is?

00:46:29.300 Vivek is assassination insurance for Trump.

00:46:33.020 I've said this before, but let me say it again.

00:46:36.560 If they take out Trump,

00:46:40.340 we're going to shove Vivek down their fucking throats,

00:46:44.980 and he's going to disembowel.

00:46:50.080 And they don't want to do that.

00:46:53.360 You think Trump's a risk?

00:46:55.800 You have no idea.

00:46:58.220 Trump is not nearly the risk that Vivek is,

00:47:00.860 in a good way.

00:47:02.200 Vivek would be good for the country, not bad.

00:47:05.160 But just imagine your point of view, all right?

00:47:11.040 Put yourself in this situation just mentally.

00:47:14.100 Let's say something terrible happens that takes Trump out of the race.

00:47:18.280 It doesn't have to be assassination.

00:47:19.620 Just something that you recognize as a dirty trick.

00:47:23.160 Something you recognize as unfair.

00:47:25.600 And they take your candidate out if your candidate was Trump.

00:47:28.720 Let's say they take him out on the last hour before the election.

00:47:33.140 Not the last hour, but, you know,

00:47:35.940 long enough that the Republicans would have to scramble.

00:47:39.560 So let's say the Republicans scramble,

00:47:42.060 and they put in another candidate.

00:47:45.200 Let's say it's Vivek.

00:47:49.960 Are they going to be happy about that?

00:47:54.360 See, if Vivek is not in the race at all by that point,

00:47:58.060 it wouldn't make sense to put him in.

00:47:59.460 But in the unlikely event that Vivek said he would accept a VP running mate

00:48:07.660 position in the unlikely event, because he's running for president.

00:48:10.960 I like to say that out of respect.

00:48:14.460 And of respect for Vivek and the job that he's doing, he's running for president.

00:48:19.720 He's not running for second place.

00:48:21.860 And I think he has a legitimate chance at first place.

00:48:25.060 Because a lot could happen in the next year.

00:48:27.780 So, but in this situation that he had Trump at a strong vice president,

00:48:32.940 it doesn't have to be Vivek.

00:48:34.140 He's just the, he would be the scariest to the other side.

00:48:37.980 Scariest because he's the most capable.

00:48:40.200 Not scary because he's a dangerous person.

00:48:43.020 He would be the scariest because he's the most capable of getting

00:48:45.500 what he says he wants to do.

00:48:49.440 And a great persuader, yes.

00:48:53.400 So here's the thing.

00:48:55.120 The thing that protects Trump

00:48:56.800 is a backup plan that's the same.

00:49:00.840 Or better.

00:49:01.460 So here's what you need to do

00:49:04.200 if you're trying to persuade yourself into a winning position.

00:49:08.660 And, you know, I think

00:49:09.800 Trump definitely listens to the base.

00:49:13.580 So if the base says,

00:49:16.080 this time Donald Trump,

00:49:18.600 you can't pick a weaker vice president.

00:49:23.480 Pence was a weak vice president

00:49:25.100 compared to Trump.

00:49:26.760 We'd all agree with that, right?

00:49:28.540 I like Pence as a vice president.

00:49:30.580 But he's weak.

00:49:33.020 And it's tradition that the president,

00:49:35.560 the candidate for president,

00:49:36.720 picks a weaker vice president

00:49:38.300 so that you don't spend your entire time saying,

00:49:41.020 oh, maybe it should be the other way around.

00:49:43.220 Turn it upside down.

00:49:45.740 But this one time,

00:49:48.320 Trump needs to save his life

00:49:50.860 and protect the country at the same time

00:49:54.280 by making sure that his vice president

00:49:56.780 looks like the destroyer of worlds.

00:50:03.180 Yeah.

00:50:03.860 You want the vice president

00:50:05.080 to look like the destroyer of worlds

00:50:07.100 from a Democrat perspective,

00:50:09.000 not somebody who would actually do any damage.

00:50:11.580 But somebody who would scare them more,

00:50:14.060 or at least as much,

00:50:15.600 as Trump.

00:50:17.720 And that could be done.

00:50:19.660 That could definitely be done.

00:50:20.700 All right.

00:50:25.340 NBC News posted today on X

00:50:28.780 said a new study outlines

00:50:30.820 how white people's migration

00:50:32.840 during and after the Civil War

00:50:34.480 bolstered white supremacy

00:50:36.360 and institutional racism

00:50:38.380 in non-slave states,

00:50:40.180 contributing to the vast racial disparities

00:50:42.640 that exist today nationwide.

00:50:46.140 My commentary on that story

00:50:48.500 is fuck you 0.99

00:50:49.580 and fuck you 1.00

00:50:51.300 and fuck you some more. 0.99

00:50:53.660 Because I don't care

00:50:55.100 about ancient history

00:50:57.300 if the only reason

00:50:58.600 you're going to bring it up

00:50:59.500 is to call me a white supremacist

00:51:01.380 and make me feel guilty about a shit. 0.87

00:51:03.780 Fuck you, NBC. 1.00

00:51:05.420 Fuck you, NBC. 1.00

00:51:07.060 Fuck your eyes.

00:51:08.220 Fuck your head.

00:51:09.320 Fuck your stupid brains.

00:51:12.900 I'm not even going to talk about this story.

00:51:15.180 I don't care if it's true.

00:51:16.200 I wasn't alive.

00:51:19.340 So fuck them

00:51:20.180 and fuck their racist, 0.97

00:51:22.260 divisive bullshit.

00:51:23.980 If you've got an idea

00:51:24.920 for improving things, NBC,

00:51:26.960 I'm all ears.

00:51:28.380 Got an idea for improving things?

00:51:30.140 Or you just want us

00:51:30.940 to be mad at each other

00:51:31.940 with your bullshit stories? 0.76

00:51:34.700 Fuck you.

00:51:36.460 All right.

00:51:38.480 Speaking of the media,

00:51:40.520 ABC this week

00:51:41.640 had three women on

00:51:43.860 who worked for President Trump

00:51:46.520 in the White House

00:51:47.440 the first term

00:51:48.100 and Jonathan Karl

00:51:50.360 there was to discuss

00:51:51.460 their experiences

00:51:52.800 and they said bad things

00:51:55.400 and if Trump's re-elected

00:51:56.760 it's the end of the world.

00:51:58.720 Now,

00:51:59.320 why do you think

00:52:00.360 it had to be three women? 1.00

00:52:02.700 Was it a complete coincidence

00:52:04.100 that the only people

00:52:05.740 they could get

00:52:06.360 from Trump's prior administration

00:52:08.180 happened to be female? 0.97

00:52:09.680 And they were the ones

00:52:11.160 who were available

00:52:11.900 and willing to talk about it.

00:52:13.680 Do you think that's it?

00:52:15.020 Do you think that

00:52:16.060 they were the three

00:52:16.900 that were available

00:52:17.620 and willing to say this stuff?

00:52:19.140 Nobody else.

00:52:20.400 Just these three?

00:52:21.820 But why did ABC decide

00:52:23.240 there had to be three women? 1.00

00:52:26.180 Clearly,

00:52:26.980 they're talking

00:52:28.040 to the Democrat base

00:52:29.320 and they're saying,

00:52:30.980 look,

00:52:31.700 even the Republican women 0.56

00:52:32.980 are on your side.

00:52:34.320 Don't you get it, women? 1.00

00:52:36.120 Trump is bad.

00:52:37.420 The women can see it. 1.00

00:52:38.420 It's only the men 0.95

00:52:39.520 who have been brainwashed

00:52:40.740 but the women 1.00

00:52:41.580 can clearly see.

00:52:43.440 Yeah.

00:52:44.160 So it's crazy bitches. 1.00

00:52:47.680 Two words.

00:52:53.100 Let's talk about

00:52:54.180 the Saudis and Israel.

00:52:55.980 I saw an article

00:52:57.280 in American Thinker

00:52:59.280 by John Levin.

00:53:01.980 And it's a large article.

00:53:03.920 I posted it,

00:53:05.140 reposted it

00:53:06.380 so you can see it.

00:53:08.260 But his point is

00:53:09.660 that Saudi Arabia

00:53:11.440 and Israel

00:53:12.200 probably

00:53:13.260 need to be good friends

00:53:16.760 because they both want to.

00:53:19.840 I mean,

00:53:20.160 the direction was that way.

00:53:21.760 And this business

00:53:22.640 with Hamas and Iran 0.58

00:53:23.740 seems to be

00:53:24.460 to try to drive a wedge

00:53:25.900 between

00:53:27.700 between Israel

00:53:31.380 and Saudi Arabia.

00:53:32.980 But it doesn't look

00:53:34.120 like that wedge worked

00:53:35.180 because they seem

00:53:36.560 to both be willing

00:53:37.700 to keep going

00:53:38.720 once this ugliness

00:53:40.460 has passed.

00:53:42.140 But John Levin's point

00:53:43.800 is that,

00:53:44.680 well, let me read it.

00:53:46.820 He says,

00:53:47.840 for Saudi Arabia,

00:53:49.220 normalization

00:53:50.020 with Israel

00:53:50.620 and midwifing

00:53:51.800 Israeli-Palestinian

00:53:53.560 reconciliation

00:53:54.300 would accelerate

00:53:55.800 its own integration

00:53:56.680 into the modern order

00:53:57.680 while dislodging

00:53:59.040 its greatest rival's outpost,

00:54:01.240 its rival being Iran.

00:54:03.460 The Sunni Saudis 0.99

00:54:04.820 and the Shiite ayatollahs

00:54:06.480 in Iran

00:54:07.340 are champions

00:54:08.600 of competing

00:54:09.540 Islamic factions.

00:54:12.060 They've been waging war

00:54:13.340 against the other.

00:54:14.220 So the basic idea

00:54:15.200 is that

00:54:15.880 Saudi Arabia,

00:54:19.040 if it allowed Iran 0.98

00:54:21.080 to get its way

00:54:22.000 and to,

00:54:23.680 let's say,

00:54:24.280 minimize

00:54:25.640 or destroy Israel, 0.54

00:54:27.280 that it would be

00:54:28.820 a small matter

00:54:30.180 of time

00:54:30.620 before Saudi Arabia

00:54:31.720 was a little bit

00:54:32.520 surrounded.

00:54:34.040 So it would be

00:54:34.960 an enormous

00:54:35.780 benefit for Iran

00:54:38.380 if the Israeli

00:54:39.680 influence

00:54:41.040 disappeared.

00:54:42.520 And apparently

00:54:43.300 it would be

00:54:43.860 an enormous benefit

00:54:44.980 to Saudi Arabia

00:54:46.160 to be economically

00:54:48.940 at least

00:54:49.740 tied to

00:54:50.700 Israel.

00:54:51.720 And so

00:54:52.720 I've been saying

00:54:53.360 for months

00:54:53.920 since October 7

00:54:55.860 that the most

00:54:57.320 logical

00:54:58.500 solver

00:55:00.460 for what looks

00:55:02.080 like a permanent

00:55:02.860 problem

00:55:03.360 between

00:55:03.840 the Palestinians

00:55:05.020 and Israel

00:55:06.100 would be

00:55:07.000 a Saudi

00:55:07.800 administration

00:55:08.840 of the,

00:55:10.520 some kind

00:55:11.220 of administration

00:55:11.760 of the areas

00:55:13.000 that are

00:55:13.360 Palestinian majority.

00:55:15.020 So I don't

00:55:17.940 see any way

00:55:18.500 around it

00:55:18.960 at this point.

00:55:20.620 I feel like

00:55:21.300 maybe Israel's

00:55:22.700 plan is that

00:55:23.380 Israel just 0.88

00:55:23.980 forever controls

00:55:25.060 the West Bank

00:55:26.260 and Gaza,

00:55:27.320 but I feel like

00:55:27.940 that would just

00:55:28.400 make Iran 0.99

00:55:29.020 matter.

00:55:30.380 Whereas

00:55:30.860 if you went

00:55:31.920 the other direction

00:55:32.640 and you pushed

00:55:33.840 Saudi and Israel

00:55:35.460 closer together,

00:55:37.360 even if it's

00:55:38.600 only on paper,

00:55:39.840 it's going to

00:55:40.880 look like it

00:55:41.360 didn't work.

00:55:41.920 So you want

00:55:43.140 Iran to think 0.96

00:55:44.020 that trying

00:55:44.660 to drive

00:55:45.140 Saudi and

00:55:46.000 Israel apart 0.99

00:55:47.100 will cause

00:55:49.540 them to be

00:55:49.960 closer together.

00:55:51.680 And one way

00:55:52.420 to do that

00:55:52.960 would be to

00:55:53.520 say to Saudi

00:55:54.180 Arabia,

00:55:54.700 you know what

00:55:55.020 would make

00:55:55.420 you go from

00:55:57.280 the country

00:55:58.200 that we suspect

00:55:59.140 because 9-11

00:56:00.180 had some

00:56:01.300 Saudi ties,

00:56:02.440 we're not so

00:56:03.460 sure about our

00:56:04.140 past with

00:56:04.820 Saudi Arabia,

00:56:06.240 we don't know

00:56:06.700 about that

00:56:07.120 bone-sauce

00:56:07.740 situation,

00:56:08.900 right?

00:56:09.840 But you don't

00:56:10.380 think Saudi 0.67

00:56:10.920 wants to get

00:56:11.460 out of that

00:56:11.900 and into

00:56:13.620 the top

00:56:14.960 of the stage,

00:56:16.580 you know,

00:56:16.960 a credible

00:56:17.560 major superpower.

00:56:19.940 I think they

00:56:20.400 do.

00:56:21.220 And the way

00:56:21.620 to get there

00:56:22.220 is to be

00:56:23.180 on the same

00:56:23.640 side with

00:56:24.080 the United

00:56:24.400 States and

00:56:25.600 at least

00:56:25.920 economically

00:56:26.600 with Israel.

00:56:28.600 And that

00:56:29.200 seems to be

00:56:29.680 the direction

00:56:30.180 they're going.

00:56:31.060 So I would

00:56:31.740 say that what's

00:56:32.440 going to come

00:56:32.760 out of this

00:56:33.200 is Saudi

00:56:34.220 taking a

00:56:34.800 bigger role

00:56:35.400 to try to

00:56:36.960 put some

00:56:37.500 order in

00:56:39.120 the West

00:56:39.420 Bank.

00:56:40.740 Now,

00:56:41.000 I don't

00:56:41.940 know what

00:56:42.280 they can

00:56:42.580 do,

00:56:43.400 given that

00:56:43.820 you've got

00:56:44.180 some Sunni

00:56:46.340 and Shiite

00:56:47.160 problems there.

00:56:49.540 I don't

00:56:50.100 know how

00:56:50.380 much the

00:56:50.940 Palestinians

00:56:51.440 would want

00:56:52.000 Saudi

00:56:52.500 involvement,

00:56:53.260 but at

00:56:53.460 least it

00:56:53.720 wouldn't be

00:56:54.020 Israel.

00:56:55.380 So my

00:56:56.140 prediction is

00:56:56.740 that Saudi 0.99

00:56:57.280 Arabia will 1.00

00:56:57.800 be a

00:56:58.080 productive

00:56:58.440 partner and

00:56:59.340 they'll get

00:56:59.720 closer to

00:57:00.300 Israel as

00:57:00.880 result.

00:57:02.880 There was

00:57:03.500 some news

00:57:03.860 just before I

00:57:04.480 came on

00:57:04.900 that maybe

00:57:05.300 there's an

00:57:06.380 update on

00:57:06.840 this.

00:57:07.700 I guess the

00:57:08.220 Iranian

00:57:08.640 National Guard

00:57:09.680 or no,

00:57:10.660 the IRGC,

00:57:12.440 that's the

00:57:13.180 Iranian,

00:57:14.580 what are

00:57:15.600 those initials?

00:57:17.400 The IRGC.

00:57:18.960 Is that the

00:57:19.480 normal army

00:57:20.400 of Iran?

00:57:23.120 Or is that

00:57:23.780 their special

00:57:24.380 forces of some

00:57:25.280 kind?

00:57:27.280 Wait,

00:57:28.500 Palestinians

00:57:28.960 or Sunni? 0.73

00:57:31.240 Wait a

00:57:31.580 minute,

00:57:31.740 wait a

00:57:31.940 minute.

00:57:32.960 Are the

00:57:33.240 Palestinians

00:57:33.720 Sunni?

00:57:35.880 Somebody

00:57:36.440 said it in

00:57:36.860 the comments.

00:57:38.520 And Gaza 0.55

00:57:39.300 too?

00:57:40.500 Is Gaza 0.50

00:57:41.500 all Sunni? 0.67

00:57:44.380 Really?

00:57:46.640 So why

00:57:47.440 am I

00:57:47.680 fighting

00:57:47.940 this?

00:57:49.300 I was

00:57:50.040 making an

00:57:50.460 assumption.

00:57:51.040 I was

00:57:51.360 making an

00:57:51.800 assumption

00:57:52.060 that Iran 0.91

00:57:52.840 would only

00:57:53.340 be helping

00:57:53.960 Shiites. 1.00

00:57:57.280 So you

00:57:57.440 tell me

00:57:57.740 that Iran 0.91

00:57:58.320 has been

00:57:58.700 funding

00:57:59.140 Sunnis?

00:58:02.660 I'll be

00:58:03.180 down.

00:58:04.580 I'll be

00:58:05.100 down.

00:58:06.720 And a

00:58:07.200 lot of

00:58:07.420 you knew

00:58:07.740 that.

00:58:08.720 Well,

00:58:09.020 don't I

00:58:09.360 feel

00:58:09.560 dumb?

00:58:12.000 Huh.

00:58:12.880 You know,

00:58:13.160 have I ever

00:58:13.560 told you

00:58:13.920 that one

00:58:15.140 of my

00:58:15.420 superpowers,

00:58:16.260 I think I

00:58:16.660 tell you

00:58:16.940 this all

00:58:17.300 the time,

00:58:18.040 one of my

00:58:18.540 superpowers

00:58:19.200 is complete

00:58:20.060 freedom from

00:58:20.860 embarrassment?

00:58:21.440 I just

00:58:22.900 don't get

00:58:23.220 embarrassed.

00:58:24.500 I used

00:58:25.180 to, but

00:58:26.020 I just

00:58:26.260 learned not

00:58:26.740 to.

00:58:27.800 So imagine

00:58:29.040 having a

00:58:29.660 show in

00:58:30.060 which you

00:58:30.380 talk about

00:58:30.860 politics,

00:58:31.980 and you

00:58:32.260 talk about

00:58:32.700 the Middle

00:58:33.040 East, and

00:58:33.920 you're

00:58:34.140 finding out

00:58:34.620 in real

00:58:35.020 time, in

00:58:36.260 front of a

00:58:36.740 live audience,

00:58:38.180 that your

00:58:38.460 most basic

00:58:39.100 assumption about

00:58:39.840 the region

00:58:40.300 was wrong.

00:58:44.260 That's what

00:58:44.840 I'm experiencing

00:58:45.600 right now.

00:58:48.000 But am I

00:58:49.280 unhappy?

00:58:50.220 No, I'm

00:58:50.540 kind of happy

00:58:51.000 about it,

00:58:51.380 because I

00:58:51.720 just found

00:58:52.120 out like a

00:58:53.600 very useful

00:58:54.140 fact.

00:58:55.080 Because the

00:58:55.440 thing that I

00:58:55.920 was worried

00:58:56.320 about was

00:58:57.400 that Saudi 0.99

00:58:57.900 Arabia wouldn't 1.00

00:58:58.680 be credible

00:58:59.500 as a helper,

00:59:01.580 but if you're

00:59:02.420 telling me that

00:59:03.020 they're all

00:59:03.600 Sunnis, well 0.99

00:59:05.320 then suddenly

00:59:06.120 that does

00:59:06.560 make looks

00:59:07.040 like it

00:59:07.620 would work.

00:59:09.700 I would

00:59:10.380 rather be

00:59:11.060 dumb in

00:59:12.280 public,

00:59:13.200 like I am

00:59:14.500 now,

00:59:15.380 than not

00:59:16.540 have the

00:59:16.920 situation

00:59:17.340 resolved.

00:59:18.220 So to

00:59:19.100 me this is

00:59:19.600 an upgrade.

00:59:21.000 All right,

00:59:21.880 cool,

00:59:22.300 thank you.

00:59:23.780 But anyway,

00:59:24.640 the IRGC,

00:59:26.080 whatever military

00:59:26.900 force of Iran 0.84

00:59:27.760 that is,

00:59:28.580 has reportedly

00:59:29.360 issued orders

00:59:30.380 and they're

00:59:31.580 withdrawing from

00:59:32.660 their positions

00:59:33.760 in Syria,

00:59:35.100 near the

00:59:35.600 Iraq border.

00:59:36.600 Maybe not all

00:59:37.280 their positions

00:59:37.880 in Syria,

00:59:38.980 but the ones

00:59:39.520 near the Iraq

00:59:40.160 border.

00:59:40.960 So they're

00:59:41.460 evacuating all

00:59:42.160 their bases.

00:59:42.560 forces and

00:59:44.640 coincides with

00:59:46.200 the intensification

00:59:47.840 of military

00:59:49.360 action over

00:59:50.020 there.

00:59:50.860 So what

00:59:52.520 do you think

00:59:52.820 is happening?

00:59:54.400 This is

00:59:55.040 something I

00:59:55.520 would expect

00:59:56.040 to see if

00:59:56.660 Trump were

00:59:57.280 president.

00:59:58.840 You know

00:59:59.480 why?

01:00:00.440 It looks

01:00:00.980 like Biden

01:00:02.280 just said,

01:00:03.780 you better

01:00:05.560 leave because

01:00:06.280 we're going

01:00:06.560 to kill all

01:00:07.080 of you.

01:00:07.360 why else

01:00:09.220 would they

01:00:09.500 leave?

01:00:11.960 You know,

01:00:12.560 we've been

01:00:12.900 wondering why

01:00:13.700 Biden has

01:00:14.580 been going

01:00:15.520 soft on

01:00:17.580 some of

01:00:18.020 the proxies,

01:00:19.420 the Iranian

01:00:19.780 proxies.

01:00:20.480 You know,

01:00:20.580 people were

01:00:20.960 complaining,

01:00:21.940 oh yeah,

01:00:22.280 he gives

01:00:22.620 them a little

01:00:23.040 bee sting

01:00:23.540 once in a

01:00:24.040 while,

01:00:24.380 but why

01:00:25.280 doesn't he

01:00:25.660 get tough?

01:00:26.840 We say the

01:00:27.380 same thing

01:00:27.720 about Yemen.

01:00:29.820 I feel like

01:00:30.640 the Biden

01:00:31.040 administration

01:00:31.620 just told

01:00:32.220 Iran what

01:00:33.420 they're going

01:00:33.920 to do.

01:00:35.780 Meaning,

01:00:36.640 hey Iran,

01:00:37.360 you're going

01:00:38.140 to withdraw

01:00:38.740 your forces

01:00:39.400 from this

01:00:39.960 area.

01:00:41.320 What?

01:00:41.900 We're not

01:00:42.180 going to

01:00:42.460 withdraw our

01:00:43.040 forces from

01:00:43.600 this area.

01:00:44.500 Yeah,

01:00:44.740 you actually

01:00:45.120 are.

01:00:45.980 You're going

01:00:46.300 to withdraw

01:00:46.640 all your

01:00:47.080 forces from

01:00:47.720 this area.

01:00:48.580 No,

01:00:48.860 we're not.

01:00:49.880 Well,

01:00:50.320 okay,

01:00:50.640 you have a

01:00:50.940 choice.

01:00:52.080 We are

01:00:52.560 going to

01:00:52.940 withdraw all

01:00:53.500 your forces

01:00:53.980 from that

01:00:54.460 area,

01:00:54.860 but they're

01:00:55.140 going to

01:00:55.280 be in

01:00:55.540 bags.

01:00:57.100 So they

01:00:57.660 can walk

01:00:58.140 out,

01:00:59.060 or they

01:00:59.760 can leave

01:01:00.120 in bags.

01:01:01.280 But now

01:01:01.880 that's your

01:01:02.240 only choices.

01:01:03.380 So do what

01:01:03.900 you need to

01:01:04.300 do.

01:01:05.000 And by the

01:01:05.380 way,

01:01:06.440 if they

01:01:06.840 don't leave,

01:01:07.780 we're going

01:01:08.020 to pave

01:01:08.480 Yemen or 0.96

01:01:10.820 something.

01:01:11.740 We're going

01:01:12.080 to take

01:01:12.300 out all

01:01:12.680 of your

01:01:13.080 proxies,

01:01:14.080 all of

01:01:14.420 them.

01:01:16.880 Would

01:01:17.180 Iran

01:01:17.620 believe that

01:01:19.620 was a

01:01:20.160 fair

01:01:21.220 threat?

01:01:26.380 I don't

01:01:26.980 know.

01:01:27.160 It looks

01:01:27.400 good to

01:01:27.760 me.

01:01:28.840 It looks

01:01:30.140 like a good

01:01:30.620 threat to

01:01:31.020 me.

01:01:31.300 because I

01:01:33.220 do think

01:01:33.740 that our

01:01:34.080 military

01:01:34.460 industrial

01:01:35.000 complex

01:01:35.700 would be

01:01:37.740 itching to

01:01:38.220 take out

01:01:38.600 the

01:01:38.740 proxies.

01:01:40.020 And if

01:01:40.240 they want

01:01:40.600 to do

01:01:40.860 it,

01:01:41.060 they could

01:01:41.380 probably

01:01:41.620 get their

01:01:41.980 way.

01:01:44.200 Here's

01:01:44.640 what I

01:01:44.900 would love

01:01:45.240 to know.

01:01:46.680 Wouldn't

01:01:46.980 you love

01:01:47.380 to know

01:01:47.820 who has

01:01:48.340 made

01:01:48.600 what

01:01:48.920 threats

01:01:49.560 to whom

01:01:51.260 lately

01:01:52.380 in the

01:01:53.040 Middle 0.95

01:01:53.200 East?

01:01:54.760 I'll bet

01:01:55.000 the real

01:01:55.360 story is

01:01:55.960 the threats,

01:01:57.060 the credible

01:01:57.680 threats,

01:01:58.140 that people

01:01:58.960 have made

01:01:59.300 to each

01:01:59.680 other at

01:02:01.120 the government

01:02:01.580 level that

01:02:03.140 we don't

01:02:03.480 exactly know

01:02:04.240 about.

01:02:05.980 Because here's

01:02:06.740 the thing.

01:02:07.820 If America

01:02:08.780 said to

01:02:09.260 Iran,

01:02:10.120 you know

01:02:10.440 what,

01:02:11.140 the proxy

01:02:11.780 thing doesn't

01:02:12.460 work anymore

01:02:13.060 for us,

01:02:14.260 and we're

01:02:15.080 going to get

01:02:15.420 rid of them,

01:02:17.100 and that's

01:02:18.140 the decision.

01:02:19.620 There's not

01:02:20.260 going to be

01:02:20.540 any proxies

01:02:21.320 in this area

01:02:22.140 anymore,

01:02:22.760 so we're

01:02:23.360 just going

01:02:23.680 to get rid

01:02:24.020 of them.

01:02:24.680 If you'd

01:02:25.140 like,

01:02:26.000 we'll give

01:02:26.360 you time

01:02:26.720 to withdraw.

01:02:28.140 But they're

01:02:28.520 not going

01:02:28.780 to be

01:02:28.980 there when

01:02:29.380 we're

01:02:29.560 done.

01:02:30.080 We're

01:02:30.260 going to

01:02:30.360 get rid

01:02:30.640 of all

01:02:30.900 of them.

01:02:32.260 That feels

01:02:32.720 like that

01:02:33.180 conversation

01:02:33.760 happened,

01:02:34.300 doesn't it?

01:02:35.120 Now,

01:02:35.440 it could

01:02:35.740 be that

01:02:37.180 I'm wrong

01:02:37.500 about everything,

01:02:38.320 and they're

01:02:38.640 withdrawing

01:02:39.040 the forces

01:02:39.500 to maybe

01:02:41.140 reinforce

01:02:42.760 somewhere

01:02:43.220 else.

01:02:43.920 So it

01:02:44.220 could be

01:02:44.620 completely

01:02:45.260 a fake

01:02:45.840 out.

01:02:49.620 Anyway,

01:02:50.660 all right.

01:02:53.660 Here's a

01:02:54.320 2023

01:02:55.220 afterthought,

01:02:57.180 just for

01:02:58.120 me

01:02:58.300 personally.

01:02:59.960 I

01:03:00.440 realized,

01:03:01.140 you know,

01:03:01.360 I was

01:03:01.480 thinking

01:03:01.700 back of

01:03:02.200 the people

01:03:02.620 who

01:03:02.920 canceled

01:03:03.400 me

01:03:03.700 in

01:03:04.000 2023.

01:03:05.440 Now,

01:03:05.760 of course,

01:03:06.100 there are

01:03:06.460 corporate

01:03:07.020 entities that

01:03:07.940 I don't care

01:03:08.500 too much

01:03:08.880 about,

01:03:09.480 didn't make

01:03:09.920 that much

01:03:10.240 difference in

01:03:10.780 my life.

01:03:11.800 But there

01:03:12.100 were also

01:03:12.480 individuals.

01:03:14.600 There were

01:03:15.000 actually specific

01:03:16.200 individuals that

01:03:17.720 canceled me and

01:03:18.820 told me in

01:03:20.000 person.

01:03:21.020 And here's what

01:03:21.580 I realized about

01:03:22.620 the ones who

01:03:23.080 canceled me.

01:03:23.660 three of the

01:03:26.580 people who

01:03:27.000 canceled me in

01:03:27.920 person,

01:03:28.680 you know,

01:03:28.860 not economically,

01:03:30.340 professionally,

01:03:31.200 are people that

01:03:32.220 I had mentored

01:03:32.960 or helped

01:03:34.580 professionally and

01:03:36.160 asked nothing in

01:03:36.920 return.

01:03:39.440 Now,

01:03:40.020 I'm just going to

01:03:40.380 put that out

01:03:40.900 there.

01:03:42.220 There are three

01:03:43.160 people who

01:03:44.140 were in my

01:03:44.620 life in a

01:03:46.260 fairly substantial

01:03:47.160 way,

01:03:48.180 meaning that I

01:03:49.280 had helped them

01:03:49.900 professionally in

01:03:51.460 a not,

01:03:52.100 not a trivial

01:03:52.880 way,

01:03:54.000 all three of

01:03:54.580 them.

01:03:55.960 And all three

01:03:56.820 of them decided

01:03:57.420 to cancel me

01:03:58.140 without asking

01:03:59.440 the context,

01:04:01.240 without ever

01:04:01.880 like digging

01:04:02.480 into like what

01:04:03.500 was the point

01:04:04.040 of it or

01:04:04.580 what I really

01:04:05.500 thought.

01:04:07.180 Isn't that

01:04:07.820 amazing?

01:04:09.660 Yeah.

01:04:11.200 Yep.

01:04:16.660 So,

01:04:17.660 there's that.

01:04:20.940 Let me give

01:04:22.020 you some advice

01:04:22.760 about giving.

01:04:24.860 This will be the

01:04:25.640 most important

01:04:26.220 thing you ever

01:04:26.700 heard.

01:04:27.680 If you decide

01:04:28.660 to do a

01:04:29.340 kindness to

01:04:30.140 somebody without

01:04:30.880 asking anything

01:04:31.700 in return,

01:04:32.680 it usually

01:04:33.780 won't work

01:04:34.360 out.

01:04:35.620 Did you know

01:04:36.360 that?

01:04:38.920 Doing things

01:04:39.900 for other

01:04:40.340 people almost

01:04:41.660 never works

01:04:42.260 out.

01:04:43.080 It's like an

01:04:43.800 80% failure

01:04:44.700 rate,

01:04:45.660 like lending

01:04:46.520 somebody money,

01:04:48.340 doing them a

01:04:49.060 big favor,

01:04:50.880 helping them

01:04:51.900 get a job,

01:04:53.180 ever help

01:04:53.620 somebody get

01:04:54.060 a job.

01:04:55.440 About 80%

01:04:56.200 it doesn't

01:04:56.660 work.

01:04:58.040 So that's the

01:04:58.740 first thing you

01:04:59.180 need to know.

01:05:00.120 Here's the

01:05:00.560 second part.

01:05:02.100 Do it

01:05:02.400 anyway.

01:05:03.900 Do it

01:05:04.420 anyway.

01:05:05.860 The do it

01:05:06.320 anyway is the

01:05:06.920 important part.

01:05:08.480 80% of the

01:05:09.180 time it's not

01:05:09.660 going to work

01:05:10.160 and really

01:05:11.180 you're going

01:05:11.480 to wish you

01:05:12.160 hadn't.

01:05:13.020 Do it

01:05:13.520 anyway.

01:05:13.780 just do

01:05:16.060 it anyway.

01:05:17.880 Because that's

01:05:18.540 the world you

01:05:19.100 want to live

01:05:19.540 in and it's

01:05:21.040 about you.

01:05:23.000 So some of

01:05:23.620 the best advice

01:05:24.340 you'll ever

01:05:24.700 get is make

01:05:26.880 your actions

01:05:27.420 about you.

01:05:28.920 You're allowed.

01:05:30.420 You can be

01:05:31.220 who you are

01:05:31.920 so you can

01:05:32.720 make yourself

01:05:33.300 the person

01:05:33.740 you want to

01:05:34.160 be.

01:05:34.720 How people

01:05:35.280 react to

01:05:35.860 you,

01:05:36.440 well that's

01:05:36.740 a separate

01:05:37.100 question.

01:05:38.340 But you

01:05:38.700 can be the

01:05:39.280 person who

01:05:39.720 will help.

01:05:41.100 It doesn't

01:05:41.720 have to work.

01:05:42.220 It's about

01:05:43.740 who you

01:05:44.100 are.

01:05:45.260 Now you

01:05:45.520 can say

01:05:45.800 to me,

01:05:46.160 but Scott,

01:05:47.020 I'm being

01:05:47.660 wise and

01:05:49.040 knowledgeable and

01:05:50.260 I'm not going

01:05:50.660 to help because

01:05:51.340 80% of the

01:05:52.040 time it

01:05:52.360 backfires and

01:05:53.740 hits me in

01:05:54.620 the face.

01:05:55.700 To which I

01:05:56.120 say, but it 0.80

01:05:57.300 worked 20% of

01:05:58.160 the time.

01:05:59.860 20% of the

01:06:00.680 time it

01:06:00.940 worked.

01:06:02.000 Do it

01:06:02.300 anyway.

01:06:03.800 Do it

01:06:04.180 anyway.

01:06:05.780 That's all.

01:06:06.500 Because that's

01:06:07.040 who you want

01:06:07.460 to be and

01:06:08.440 it's also the

01:06:09.080 world you

01:06:09.480 want to live

01:06:09.900 in.

01:06:10.660 You want to

01:06:11.280 live in the

01:06:11.680 world.

01:06:12.540 Where somebody

01:06:13.240 says 80%

01:06:14.200 failure rate,

01:06:14.900 I'll do it

01:06:15.220 anyway.

01:06:17.280 Yeah.

01:06:18.160 So that is

01:06:19.160 your message

01:06:19.740 for 2024.

01:06:21.420 And I think

01:06:22.220 it's going to

01:06:22.540 be a good

01:06:22.940 year.

01:06:24.020 If you

01:06:24.300 didn't see

01:06:24.600 Breitbart

01:06:25.080 by Joel

01:06:26.820 Pollack did

01:06:27.300 a nice

01:06:27.600 article quoting

01:06:29.660 some of my

01:06:30.280 optimism for

01:06:31.040 2024, which

01:06:32.660 I will repeat.

01:06:33.860 I think the

01:06:34.400 economy is going

01:06:35.260 to do relatively

01:06:36.240 well.

01:06:37.180 I think our

01:06:37.840 wars will

01:06:38.520 wind down and

01:06:39.480 I think our

01:06:40.600 manufacturing is

01:06:42.140 moving back

01:06:42.720 from China.

01:06:45.080 I think we

01:06:47.100 will have a

01:06:47.660 new president.

01:06:48.620 I think

01:06:48.980 immigration will

01:06:49.800 have to be

01:06:50.540 solved.

01:06:51.340 I think crime

01:06:52.140 in the cities

01:06:52.620 will have to

01:06:53.200 be solved.

01:06:54.140 And I think

01:06:54.440 you'll see

01:06:54.780 movement on

01:06:55.400 all of it.

01:06:56.980 So I feel

01:06:58.260 like things are

01:06:58.800 heading in the

01:06:59.160 right direction

01:06:59.660 and freedom of

01:07:00.520 speech, at

01:07:01.540 least on the

01:07:01.980 X platform,

01:07:03.260 seems to be

01:07:03.920 fully operating.

01:07:07.120 So we're going

01:07:07.840 to have robots,

01:07:08.700 we're going to

01:07:08.960 have AI, we're

01:07:09.860 going to have a

01:07:10.240 good economy,

01:07:11.080 we're going to

01:07:11.340 have fewer

01:07:12.040 wars, we're

01:07:12.880 going to move

01:07:13.220 our manufacturing

01:07:14.000 back.

01:07:15.260 And I think

01:07:15.760 that wokeness

01:07:16.700 and ESG and

01:07:18.100 DEI are now

01:07:19.680 at least things

01:07:20.380 we can talk

01:07:21.020 about honestly,

01:07:22.040 which will get

01:07:22.860 us to a good

01:07:23.360 place.

01:07:23.740 In my

01:07:24.820 opinion, what

01:07:26.000 went wrong

01:07:26.620 with ESG and

01:07:27.600 DEI is that

01:07:29.160 white men

01:07:29.960 were afraid to

01:07:30.920 talk.

01:07:32.240 And that's

01:07:32.540 it.

01:07:33.700 There just

01:07:34.200 wasn't, you

01:07:35.220 didn't have a

01:07:35.720 balance of

01:07:36.300 opinions to

01:07:37.380 get where we

01:07:37.860 are.

01:07:38.420 You had

01:07:38.780 bullies and

01:07:39.700 you had

01:07:40.100 people who

01:07:40.820 were just

01:07:41.320 hiding in

01:07:42.360 their foxhole

01:07:42.940 until it all

01:07:43.480 blew over.

01:07:44.640 But that

01:07:45.000 didn't work.

01:07:47.940 80% of the

01:07:48.960 time, 80%

01:07:50.500 of the time

01:07:50.920 giving people

01:07:51.520 what they

01:07:51.820 asked for

01:07:52.160 doesn't work.

01:07:52.680 And that's

01:07:54.100 certainly true

01:07:54.700 with the

01:07:55.120 DEI and

01:07:55.860 ESG stuff.

01:07:56.960 Now, it

01:07:57.480 might be

01:07:58.020 that we'll

01:07:59.680 all be

01:08:00.440 better off

01:08:01.040 for the

01:08:01.920 fact that

01:08:02.360 those existed.

01:08:03.800 Meaning that

01:08:04.560 our awareness

01:08:05.120 is higher.

01:08:05.980 Maybe we'll

01:08:07.200 try a little

01:08:07.620 harder to

01:08:08.820 make places

01:08:09.400 look diverse

01:08:10.220 but without

01:08:10.700 giving up

01:08:11.320 too much

01:08:12.880 in return.

01:08:14.180 all right.

01:08:19.820 And ladies 0.94

01:08:20.580 and gentlemen,

01:08:21.580 that's all
