Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2345 CWSA 01⧸06⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the finest experience you've

00:00:14.940 ever had in your entire life.

00:00:17.920 If you'd like to take it up to levels that nobody can even understand, all you need is

00:00:22.660 a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or gel, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:29.040 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:30.780 I like coffee.

00:00:32.060 And join me now for the young pill.

00:00:33.480 Well, pleasure.

00:00:34.200 It's a dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:37.300 It's called the Simultania Sip.

00:00:40.900 Go.

00:00:45.420 Oh, so good.

00:00:48.040 So good.

00:00:48.840 Well, it's a very newsy day.

00:00:51.200 And may I say to all of you, happy Hoax Day, everybody.

00:00:56.100 It's January 6th, where we celebrate all the hoaxes played upon us by our own government.

00:01:03.500 Now, you might say to yourself, but Scott, is it some kind of national holiday?

00:01:10.160 No, not yet.

00:01:11.900 Because that would be government sanctions.

00:01:15.060 This is actually a holiday to make fun of your government for perpetually hoaxing you.

00:01:21.180 Let's see if we can do the full count.

00:01:24.160 Let's see.

00:01:25.380 2016 election, Russia collusion hoax.

00:01:30.340 2020 election, fine people hoax.

00:01:34.440 2024 election, January 6th insurrection hoax.

00:01:39.320 And that's why today is National Hoax Day.

00:01:42.340 And happy Hoax Day to all of you.

00:01:44.580 We're going to have a good, good show today.

00:01:46.340 So don't go anywhere.

00:01:49.320 Well, now, how would you celebrate a happy Hoax Day?

00:01:55.040 You know, traditions.

00:01:56.940 You ever wonder how traditions start?

00:02:00.180 You ever have a curiosity about that?

00:02:02.700 You always think, wait a minute.

00:02:04.340 Why am I putting gifts in a sock?

00:02:07.160 Why am I putting a sock on my fireplace?

00:02:09.300 Like, who came up with that idea?

00:02:11.520 And this is how it happens.

00:02:13.200 Some creative person, such as myself, comes up with the idea, and then it just catches on everywhere.

00:02:22.380 So for National Hoax Day, I would recommend that we celebrate it the following way.

00:02:27.620 Number one, if you want to dress traditionally, wear a bison hat.

00:02:31.660 That's right.

00:02:32.080 Bison hat.

00:02:33.500 Maybe wrap yourself in an American flag.

00:02:35.300 In terms of costuming and pageantry, it's the bison hat.

00:02:43.260 Now, if you'd like to act in a way that is compatible with National Hoax Day, I recommend sauntering around while taking selfies of yourself.

00:02:54.740 Well, that's redundant.

00:02:56.580 Sauntering while taking selfies.

00:02:58.440 May I give you my best impression of a January 6th insurrectionist doing insurrection-y things?

00:03:09.080 Sure.

00:03:10.120 It looks a lot like this.

00:03:20.980 Happy Hoax Day.

00:03:22.120 Now, if you didn't know what I was doing there, it probably scared you when you first saw it.

00:03:31.940 If anybody just signed on and you saw me sauntering and taking a selfie, I wasn't trying to conquer the country.

00:03:38.260 I promise.

00:03:39.740 No.

00:03:40.340 No, I know.

00:03:41.320 It looks like it.

00:03:42.600 It looks exactly like an insurrection.

00:03:45.400 But I promise you, I wasn't.

00:03:46.820 I wasn't.

00:03:47.280 I was just pretending.

00:03:49.240 Watch.

00:03:49.740 I'll do it again.

00:03:52.120 Click.

00:03:53.880 See?

00:03:54.580 Not trying to take over the country.

00:03:57.260 But it looks like it, doesn't it?

00:03:59.340 Like when you look at this, doesn't that scare you?

00:04:01.280 It's like, how will our nuclear forces ever survive these selfies?

00:04:10.040 Click.

00:04:11.760 I know, it's scary.

00:04:12.940 Well, let's see.

00:04:17.200 The Babylon Bee notes that Adam Kinzinger's mom let him open one present on January 6th Eve.

00:04:27.520 That's right.

00:04:29.000 Adam Kinzinger gets to open one present on January 6th Eve.

00:04:32.880 We don't know what it was.

00:04:34.160 Speaking of hoaxes, do you remember the story about the 10-foot aliens at the Miami shopping mall?

00:04:46.060 Well, it wasn't so much 10-foot aliens.

00:04:51.500 It was very close to that, though.

00:04:54.240 So you could see why they would be confused.

00:04:56.440 It wasn't 10-foot aliens.

00:04:58.060 It was some teenagers messing around.

00:05:00.620 Well, you could understand how people would think that was 10-foot aliens attacking the Earth.

00:05:08.160 Teenagers with sticks, 10-foot aliens.

00:05:11.900 It was very similar.

00:05:13.540 Now, some people say it's because there was a big shadow cast upon something.

00:05:19.520 Who knows?

00:05:20.820 Maybe.

00:05:21.660 Well, I just realized I didn't post my Dilbert comic today.

00:05:25.260 All right, I'll do it right after the show.

00:05:26.640 So that was a hoax.

00:05:31.140 There were no 10-foot aliens.

00:05:33.300 Just teenagers.

00:05:36.580 My next segment I call Backwards Science.

00:05:42.960 Backwards Science.

00:05:45.120 This is where you see if you can untangle a cause and effect in a way that your best scientists could not.

00:05:51.140 So let's see if you can top the scientists on National Hoax Day.

00:05:57.160 All right, here's the science.

00:06:00.140 In both the U.S. and England and, I guess, India and China, too,

00:06:04.920 they found a high correlation between if your spouse has high blood pressure,

00:06:09.360 you're far more likely to develop yourself.

00:06:12.520 That's right.

00:06:12.840 In the United States, 9% more likely to have high blood pressure if your spouse has it.

00:06:18.000 Huh.

00:06:20.600 What could possibly cause that?

00:06:25.180 What could possibly cause your spouse to have some causation kind of a thing with your high blood pressure?

00:06:33.400 Could it be that you end up having the same habits over time?

00:06:38.980 That if one of you is a foodie, probably the other one's going to eat more than they wanted to.

00:06:46.400 Am I right?

00:06:47.560 If one of you really, really likes to have a glass of wine after dinner,

00:06:52.840 isn't it a little bit more likely that the other one would drink at least more than they might have otherwise?

00:06:58.260 So, don't you think this is completely lifestyle plus fat people marry other fat people?

00:07:08.360 And again, I don't do fat shaming.

00:07:10.840 We're talking purely medically.

00:07:12.980 From an obesity perspective,

00:07:16.140 it's somewhat rare to see a skinny person marry an obese person.

00:07:20.160 It does happen.

00:07:21.540 But it's sort of less common.

00:07:23.560 So, does this have anything to do with marriage and everything to do with lifestyle imitation?

00:07:31.560 I think so.

00:07:32.940 Yeah.

00:07:33.200 I think they left down a few things here.

00:07:37.600 Well, Elon Musk is happily reposting a claim from Doge Designer.

00:07:44.320 Apparently, there's some kind of NP Digital, I don't know, some kind of study that found out that the highest return on ad spending was on the X platform for the whole year, I think.

00:07:59.440 The highest return.

00:08:02.020 In other words, if you advertise on the X platform, you are far more likely to get a click or a sale.

00:08:09.440 So, how do you like 2024 so far?

00:08:15.740 It is the weirdest thing.

00:08:17.380 As soon as the clock turned 2024, everything started going my way.

00:08:24.400 Like, everything that I would want to happen, I checked the news.

00:08:28.280 I'm like, oh, there it is.

00:08:29.700 Yep.

00:08:30.320 That's exactly what I wanted to happen.

00:08:32.500 And it's happening.

00:08:34.060 So, here's the question.

00:08:35.340 How would you like to be the ad buyer for a big corporation when you made a real big deal of making sure that you were not on the X platform because Media Matters told you that you'd be paired with neo-Nazi content, which was never true?

00:08:56.380 And so, Musk is suing Media Matters, and now we find out that any idiot who took their advertising off of the X platform costs their employer a lot of money.

00:09:11.240 Is that fair?

00:09:13.040 That anybody who removed their advertising from the X platform, now that there's evidence it was the highest return, they should all be fired because they made the wrong decisions, right?

00:09:24.580 I'm sure that won't happen, but.

00:09:28.380 All right, here's a headline on a post that comes from Axios.

00:09:36.180 Now, Axios is a newer news entity.

00:09:40.100 And here's how they framed their story.

00:09:41.760 They said, Musk is shaping the future of transportation, communication, artificial intelligence, and space.

00:09:49.620 Wow.

00:09:50.040 So, it looks like there's going to be this really good article about Elon Musk because he's shaping the future of transportation, communication, artificial intelligence, space.

00:10:03.500 They must have some good things to say about him.

00:10:05.500 Let's read the rest of the sentence.

00:10:07.600 An enormous, maybe even unprecedented concentration of power and influence.

00:10:15.280 Oh, so it's a bad thing.

00:10:17.180 But, that's right.

00:10:21.060 Axios has decided that maybe we're in danger because Elon Musk has too much concentration of power.

00:10:28.680 You know what that makes me do immediately when I see that headline?

00:10:32.200 It's the same thing you should do.

00:10:34.380 You should immediately not read the article.

00:10:37.480 And you should go to Google.

00:10:39.200 And you should do a Google search to find out who owns Axios.

00:10:44.260 Who owns Axios?

00:10:45.400 Do you know?

00:10:47.780 If you don't know, then you should not read it.

00:10:52.860 Let me say that again.

00:10:54.360 You shouldn't read the news on any platform that you don't know who owns it.

00:10:59.900 Because who owns it is going to determine the nature of the content.

00:11:05.080 So, it's owned by, I need a fact check on this, but I think it's owned by a family-owned business, the Cox family.

00:11:12.640 Is that true?

00:11:14.180 Or mostly owned by them?

00:11:17.060 And are the Cox family not notable Democrats?

00:11:21.760 Can you do a fact check on me?

00:11:24.680 Because it was a little unclear when I Googled it, what's going on there.

00:11:28.480 But it looks like COX, Cox family.

00:11:31.060 No, you don't spell it that way, locals platform.

00:11:36.140 But thanks for asking.

00:11:37.840 No, it is COX.

00:11:39.760 COX is how they spell it.

00:11:42.780 But see if it looks to you like Axios is just owned by a Democrat entity, which would suggest it's not real news.

00:11:51.740 And that in an election year, it should slant, you know, pro-Democrats.

00:11:58.460 That's what I'd expect.

00:11:59.860 Now, that doesn't mean it has to happen.

00:12:02.160 I'm just saying if you're a savvy news consumer, you should always know who owns them.

00:12:10.100 If you don't know who owns the entity, you don't know anything.

00:12:15.380 All right.

00:12:16.160 You should also expect...

00:12:17.960 Let me tell you what I was telling a young person a few weeks ago.

00:12:22.400 So a few weeks ago, I was describing to a young person the basics of stock investing.

00:12:29.820 And one of the things I said was, you can never time the market.

00:12:33.460 You know, that's why you should be in index funds.

00:12:35.360 I don't give financial advice, by the way.

00:12:37.780 None of this is financial advice.

00:12:40.260 But I said, but one thing you can usually count on is that because the press leaves left,

00:12:48.580 and the government at the moment is also Democrat, at least the White House,

00:12:55.020 what you should expect is that the economic data for the coming year, in an election year,

00:13:00.940 especially if you have an incumbent,

00:13:02.960 that the economic data is going to be skewed toward very positive news.

00:13:09.640 And that that would be a natural and predictable effect of the Democrats controlling the news,

00:13:15.960 as well as the White House.

00:13:17.360 So what I said was, you can never time the market,

00:13:21.540 but there is this one thing that seems to be consistent,

00:13:25.020 that the news will look more positive if the people who control the news

00:13:30.140 want you to think things are more positive.

00:13:33.500 Does that sound fair?

00:13:35.400 And therefore, I said, if you're going to own stock,

00:13:39.660 it would be good to own it before the election year,

00:13:43.540 in this specific case.

00:13:45.140 Sure enough, did you see the jobs numbers?

00:13:53.800 The Hill reports it this way.

00:13:55.960 Surprise jobs data gives boost to Biden as the election year begins.

00:14:01.040 That is literally the least surprising headline,

00:14:06.340 and I could have written it one month ago.

00:14:09.820 One month ago, without knowing anything,

00:14:12.020 if I didn't know anything about the economy,

00:14:14.560 I could have said, okay, in one month,

00:14:17.020 they're going to say,

00:14:18.380 the economy is looking better than you expected.

00:14:21.540 Of course, it would be better than you expected.

00:14:24.700 And the most important part, jobs.

00:14:27.660 Because if you don't have a job, that's bad.

00:14:30.080 So, yeah.

00:14:32.440 Now, I always have to make this distinction.

00:14:36.780 Is it also true that the economy is doing well?

00:14:41.860 Sort of.

00:14:43.240 Sort of.

00:14:44.660 You know, I'm the only person I know who is a public figure

00:14:48.100 who predicted that the economy would be better than people expected

00:14:52.280 right now.

00:14:53.640 So, it is actually better than people expected.

00:14:56.800 I think we still have an existential threat with debt.

00:15:01.040 Nobody's figured that out.

00:15:02.620 But everything except debt

00:15:04.540 looks pretty good.

00:15:08.000 You know, that's sort of like saying,

00:15:10.420 you know, you're very healthy except for the terminal cancer.

00:15:13.420 I get it.

00:15:14.340 I get it.

00:15:14.840 So, I don't know how we solve that.

00:15:17.680 But at least we have one or two candidates who have an idea.

00:15:22.440 So, I think both Vivek and Trump would have similar concepts,

00:15:28.940 which is you unleash our energy industry in the United States.

00:15:33.560 And that should make the GDP, you know, zoom.

00:15:38.160 It should give us extra cash.

00:15:40.200 And if you ever have any chance of paying down your debt,

00:15:43.680 you're going to have to do it by unleashing the product of any of the country.

00:15:47.380 You know, cut the regulations.

00:15:49.680 Let the energy flow.

00:15:51.540 Energy is the biggest economic driver of the country

00:15:54.640 because it drives the cost of everything else.

00:15:57.000 So, in theory, we could drive our cost of living down enough.

00:16:02.920 We'd have some extra money to pay off some debt.

00:16:05.000 In theory.

00:16:08.380 All right.

00:16:13.660 Ryan Ramelli is talking about some new studies

00:16:18.140 that says that your heart includes memory.

00:16:21.620 So, apparently, your brain is not isolated in its skull

00:16:28.680 and then your body is like this other machine that's doing its own thing

00:16:32.080 and they just talk to each other.

00:16:35.500 There's evidence.

00:16:37.000 I'm not sure how much I believe.

00:16:38.960 But there's evidence that memories are stored in other parts of the body,

00:16:42.500 like the heart.

00:16:44.260 I guess there are examples of people who got transplants

00:16:47.840 and then somehow picked up the memory of the person who had the original heart.

00:16:53.260 I have to say I'm skeptical of that.

00:16:56.400 I'm skeptical, but open to it.

00:16:59.320 But skeptical.

00:17:00.560 However, I'd like to put my own spin on this story, which is this.

00:17:05.100 Why have we, historically,

00:17:07.540 why have we separated the brain from the rest of the body?

00:17:10.480 Well, it's because if you have a human civilization,

00:17:15.620 you're probably compartmentalizing things by occupation.

00:17:20.920 So, somebody who's a brain surgeon

00:17:23.040 doesn't need to know as much about feet.

00:17:27.480 Right?

00:17:28.540 So, it kind of makes sense that brains are,

00:17:32.140 you know, we think about brains

00:17:33.400 when we're thinking about education and brain surgery.

00:17:36.020 And then you think about the body

00:17:37.940 when you think about a broken leg

00:17:39.660 and exercise and stuff like that.

00:17:42.180 But I think that's always been an artificial distinction.

00:17:47.600 In my experience,

00:17:49.320 the brain and the body are just the same thing.

00:17:51.860 Meaning that your thoughts

00:17:53.300 are so controlled by the situation with your body

00:17:57.840 that to say that your brain is doing the thinking

00:18:01.140 and your body is somehow uninvolved

00:18:03.240 is crazy.

00:18:06.620 Let me give you an example.

00:18:08.280 If you're hungry,

00:18:09.640 you don't make the same decisions

00:18:11.260 as if you're well fed.

00:18:12.660 That's well understood.

00:18:14.140 And plus, you experience it yourself.

00:18:16.860 So, that's your body.

00:18:18.060 That's your body influencing your brain.

00:18:20.100 If your body is having a fear reaction,

00:18:23.760 your brain is going to make decisions based on that.

00:18:27.000 And sometimes your body just goes into this fear reaction

00:18:29.560 without knowing how it happened.

00:18:31.620 If your body is tired or sleepy,

00:18:33.940 completely different decisions

00:18:36.020 and even different preferences

00:18:37.400 under those conditions.

00:18:39.900 So, it's always a mistake

00:18:41.580 to imagine that your brain is this thing

00:18:45.060 operating independently

00:18:46.340 and then your body is doing this thing.

00:18:48.200 If you don't think of them as one machine,

00:18:51.640 you're really in bad shape.

00:18:53.620 Now, here's why this is important.

00:18:55.020 Yes, the vagus nerve.

00:18:56.700 Exactly.

00:18:57.400 If you can relax your vagus nerve,

00:19:00.020 it'll relax your body

00:19:01.120 and then your brain will follow.

00:19:03.440 So, the thing you need to know

00:19:05.140 is that although your brain can tell your body

00:19:07.100 to do stuff the normal way,

00:19:09.040 your body is telling your brain what to do.

00:19:11.380 And so, I often tell people

00:19:14.280 if they want to manage their own thoughts,

00:19:16.520 they should do it by changing their body.

00:19:20.900 Let's say you have low self-esteem.

00:19:24.140 Change your body.

00:19:26.320 Look in the mirror and say,

00:19:27.920 oh, that looks good

00:19:28.700 or that looks better than the people my age

00:19:31.700 or better than the people I'm competing with.

00:19:34.300 You don't have to look like a movie star.

00:19:36.620 But how about you're not feeling interested?

00:19:40.000 You're too bored.

00:19:41.380 Put your body somewhere outside your house.

00:19:45.860 Go do something.

00:19:47.140 Put your body in nature.

00:19:49.100 Put your body out there.

00:19:50.480 Put your body in exercise.

00:19:51.960 Put your body by healthy food

00:19:54.640 instead of unhealthy food.

00:19:56.740 So, just imagine that your body and your brain

00:19:59.100 are just one device

00:20:00.300 and you manage them in an integrated way.

00:20:03.820 That's what I say.

00:20:04.920 I'm not sure if your heart really has memory,

00:20:09.040 but I don't rule it out.

00:20:10.000 I wouldn't rule it out.

00:20:13.540 Because memory is just a pattern, right?

00:20:16.560 Wouldn't you say?

00:20:18.000 Intelligence is a pattern.

00:20:20.460 So, if you can store a pattern in your brain,

00:20:23.960 is it impossible to imagine

00:20:26.140 there could be a different kind of storage mechanism

00:20:28.480 that could store a pattern

00:20:30.140 in your other parts of your body?

00:20:33.140 I feel like a concept, maybe.

00:20:37.580 Maybe.

00:20:39.760 So, here's some bad news and worse news for New York City.

00:20:44.840 The bad news is they have a rat problem.

00:20:47.280 And the mayor has declared a war on rats.

00:20:53.740 A war on rats.

00:20:55.280 That's the bad news.

00:20:56.780 The bad news is that your city

00:20:58.760 has such a bad reputation with rats

00:21:01.360 that you have to declare a war on rats.

00:21:04.740 Other places can be silent on that question.

00:21:08.180 They've got a war on rats.

00:21:09.980 You know what?

00:21:10.340 That's the bad news.

00:21:11.320 You know what the worst news is?

00:21:13.420 According to the news today,

00:21:15.120 they're losing the war on rats.

00:21:18.960 Yeah.

00:21:19.600 Bad news,

00:21:20.960 you have so many rats,

00:21:22.520 you need a war.

00:21:24.060 Worst news,

00:21:26.080 you're losing the war.

00:21:28.860 That's bad news.

00:21:30.680 So,

00:21:31.480 New York City not looking so good.

00:21:33.180 If I were to solve this problem,

00:21:34.620 I would do a $1 bounty per rat

00:21:37.600 payable only to illegal immigrants.

00:21:42.360 $1 per rat

00:21:43.740 payable only to illegal immigrants.

00:21:49.000 Solve two problems.

00:21:51.480 No?

00:21:52.880 All right.

00:21:53.880 All right.

00:21:54.320 The government of the United States

00:22:00.260 is doing something smart

00:22:01.980 and wise

00:22:02.780 and economical.

00:22:04.880 Wait a minute.

00:22:06.280 Oh, hold on.

00:22:07.000 I must have written that down wrong.

00:22:09.060 What?

00:22:11.960 It might be true.

00:22:14.120 This might be true.

00:22:16.360 This is weirder than the aliens,

00:22:19.020 10-foot aliens at the shopping mall.

00:22:22.080 But

00:22:22.640 this might actually be true.

00:22:24.320 The Biden administration

00:22:26.300 is going strong

00:22:28.060 on trying to sell

00:22:30.700 our nuclear energy

00:22:32.660 small modular reactors

00:22:36.060 because if we can sell

00:22:39.060 our nuclear technology

00:22:43.140 and know-how

00:22:43.780 to other countries,

00:22:45.560 that gives us

00:22:46.620 sort of a

00:22:47.620 geopolitical control

00:22:49.620 of those other countries

00:22:50.720 because the last thing you want

00:22:52.560 is for some

00:22:54.060 third world country

00:22:55.080 in Africa

00:22:55.560 to say,

00:22:56.600 you know what?

00:22:57.380 We need some nuclear power here.

00:22:59.640 Can anybody help us?

00:23:01.080 And then Russia and China

00:23:02.140 say, yeah, we can help.

00:23:03.860 Like, that's our bad situation

00:23:05.400 because we don't want

00:23:07.100 Russia and China

00:23:07.820 befriending

00:23:08.540 any countries

00:23:09.880 that could be

00:23:10.760 our friends, right?

00:23:12.080 We need all the allies

00:23:13.340 we can get.

00:23:14.380 So, the Biden administration

00:23:17.360 is doing a big push,

00:23:20.440 exactly the right thing,

00:23:23.300 to try to get other countries

00:23:26.180 a little bit pregnant

00:23:27.140 on American nuclear know-how.

00:23:30.040 Is that a good idea?

00:23:33.460 It's a great idea.

00:23:35.020 In fact, I think

00:23:35.740 the Biden administration

00:23:37.220 should be making

00:23:38.060 a much bigger deal

00:23:39.080 about it.

00:23:40.080 You know, either not.

00:23:43.040 Because half of their base

00:23:44.480 still thinks

00:23:45.820 nuclear energy

00:23:46.620 is the worst thing

00:23:47.320 in the world

00:23:47.700 instead of the thing

00:23:48.580 that will save it.

00:23:50.440 Yeah.

00:23:50.940 So, he's doing

00:23:51.900 the smartest thing.

00:23:54.060 Well, it's one of the smartest things

00:23:55.520 I've seen a president do,

00:23:57.120 obviously.

00:23:58.460 If Trump were doing this,

00:23:59.800 I'd be praising him

00:24:00.840 from top to bottom

00:24:02.360 and he didn't.

00:24:04.200 So, you know,

00:24:05.960 I'm being honest.

00:24:08.020 Now, I think Vivek

00:24:08.880 would, of course,

00:24:09.780 push nuclear.

00:24:10.560 He said it even today.

00:24:12.440 You know,

00:24:12.780 moments ago

00:24:13.660 he just posted

00:24:15.060 that we should go hard

00:24:15.980 on nuclear.

00:24:16.820 So, I know Vivek

00:24:17.740 would get there.

00:24:18.300 I think that Trump

00:24:19.100 could have done more

00:24:19.800 on nuclear power.

00:24:21.760 I was always disappointed

00:24:22.820 on that.

00:24:24.780 However,

00:24:25.480 there's only one problem

00:24:26.540 with this push

00:24:27.340 to get other countries

00:24:28.780 to buy into

00:24:29.960 American nuclear know-how.

00:24:33.200 So, we're selling

00:24:34.320 these small

00:24:35.400 modular reactors,

00:24:37.240 the kind that you can

00:24:38.140 make the components

00:24:38.940 in a factory.

00:24:41.280 And while it might be

00:24:41.980 only a third

00:24:43.020 as good

00:24:43.600 as a regular power plant,

00:24:45.600 it'll be way cheaper.

00:24:47.660 You know,

00:24:48.200 maybe power a million homes

00:24:49.760 for 60 years.

00:24:51.420 So, it's really good stuff

00:24:52.460 if you can do it.

00:24:53.240 You know what the one problem is?

00:24:54.420 The stuff we're selling

00:24:56.160 to other countries

00:24:57.100 doesn't exist.

00:24:59.840 Yeah,

00:25:00.420 that's the only problem.

00:25:02.700 So, we're trying to get

00:25:03.860 all these other countries

00:25:04.880 to ignore China

00:25:06.760 and Russia's

00:25:07.520 existing technology

00:25:08.920 to instead

00:25:10.920 invest in our technology

00:25:13.620 that we've never yet

00:25:14.860 successfully built.

00:25:17.460 Nobody in America

00:25:18.580 has built a small

00:25:19.540 modular reactor.

00:25:20.920 We don't have a company

00:25:22.140 that's ever done that.

00:25:23.020 We have companies

00:25:23.980 trying to do it

00:25:24.820 and they're quite far along

00:25:26.540 but nobody's ever done it.

00:25:28.820 Yeah, Rolls-Royce

00:25:29.500 has done it in England

00:25:30.460 but in the United States,

00:25:33.040 nope.

00:25:34.140 Nope.

00:25:34.780 Haven't done it.

00:25:35.840 Now, why?

00:25:37.180 Probably has a lot

00:25:38.300 to do with our regulations

00:25:39.380 or governance,

00:25:41.380 probably.

00:25:42.440 But,

00:25:43.120 having said that,

00:25:43.980 I think it's a great idea

00:25:45.020 that we're selling

00:25:45.680 our nuclear technology.

00:25:47.580 Was I joking?

00:25:48.860 Because what we're selling

00:25:49.900 is smoke and mirrors.

00:25:52.920 No.

00:25:53.980 No.

00:25:54.620 If Trump were selling

00:25:55.920 a technology

00:25:56.640 that didn't exist

00:25:57.800 to other countries

00:25:59.620 on the hope

00:26:00.960 that it would soon,

00:26:02.500 I would say

00:26:03.000 it was brilliant.

00:26:04.300 So I'm going to use

00:26:04.840 the same standard.

00:26:06.360 Yeah.

00:26:06.740 I mean,

00:26:07.000 it's not that unusual

00:26:08.120 that a company

00:26:08.780 will sell something

00:26:09.660 they don't have.

00:26:11.840 You know,

00:26:12.360 if they think

00:26:12.980 they're going to have it soon,

00:26:14.180 it's not that unusual

00:26:16.220 to do this.

00:26:17.280 So I'm going to give

00:26:18.000 Biden

00:26:18.380 pretty close

00:26:20.420 to an A plus

00:26:21.040 on this.

00:26:22.380 Pretty close to an A plus.

00:26:23.580 Now,

00:26:23.780 if Vivek would have

00:26:24.380 done the same thing,

00:26:25.180 maybe even better.

00:26:26.400 And I think he would

00:26:27.120 do it more full-throated.

00:26:28.740 Whereas Biden

00:26:29.480 is doing the right thing,

00:26:30.520 but I feel like

00:26:31.060 he has to be quiet

00:26:31.860 about it

00:26:32.360 because he doesn't

00:26:33.300 want to offend his base.

00:26:34.600 Because you know what

00:26:35.160 the Democrats hate

00:26:36.240 more than anything?

00:26:39.160 Good work.

00:26:42.220 They hate it.

00:26:43.880 They hate it.

00:26:44.480 All right.

00:26:47.380 Speaking of that,

00:26:49.120 well,

00:26:50.060 maybe things are turning.

00:26:51.620 Here's another sign

00:26:52.420 that 2024,

00:26:53.400 everything's going to go well.

00:26:55.280 It goes like this.

00:26:56.880 Colin Rugg

00:26:57.540 was posting

00:26:58.140 about this on X.

00:27:00.140 So,

00:27:00.880 apparently,

00:27:01.360 the Philadelphia mayor,

00:27:02.880 Sherelle Parker,

00:27:04.980 signed this executive order

00:27:06.720 declaring a public safety emergency.

00:27:08.620 So,

00:27:09.400 Philadelphia is so dangerous

00:27:10.500 now that they're

00:27:11.260 getting really serious

00:27:12.640 about law and order.

00:27:14.500 She's fully committed

00:27:15.780 to ending the lawlessness,

00:27:17.640 going to hire

00:27:18.140 300 more police officers,

00:27:20.540 and

00:27:21.120 fire their new head of DEI.

00:27:26.200 So,

00:27:26.900 Philadelphia

00:27:27.420 fired their DEI

00:27:29.720 director,

00:27:31.180 and

00:27:31.640 just

00:27:32.120 declared an emergency

00:27:33.640 and said,

00:27:34.280 we're going to hire

00:27:34.740 police officers

00:27:35.900 and fix them.

00:27:37.660 Now,

00:27:38.100 what is that for 2024?

00:27:40.280 And like a lion,

00:27:42.300 it's going to be

00:27:43.120 a hell of a year.

00:27:44.500 Hell of a year.

00:27:46.860 Yeah,

00:27:47.420 so even a

00:27:48.300 deeply Democrat

00:27:49.620 city

00:27:50.360 is saying,

00:27:52.080 they don't say it out loud,

00:27:54.000 but they are saying,

00:27:56.740 if we act like Republicans,

00:27:58.420 we can solve this.

00:28:01.060 Doesn't that look like

00:28:02.000 what it is?

00:28:02.980 To me,

00:28:03.320 it looks like

00:28:03.880 Philadelphia just said,

00:28:05.820 you know what?

00:28:06.920 Acting like Democrats

00:28:08.040 got us here.

00:28:09.320 If we act like Republicans,

00:28:11.000 let's see if we can fix it.

00:28:12.820 And then they acted like Republicans,

00:28:14.460 hired police officers,

00:28:16.040 and fired their DEI director.

00:28:18.660 That's

00:28:19.040 pure Republican.

00:28:21.760 Will it work?

00:28:23.300 Yeah.

00:28:24.180 Yeah,

00:28:24.480 it'll totally work.

00:28:25.600 Absolutely,

00:28:26.180 it'll work.

00:28:28.660 Speaking of the disgraced

00:28:30.260 concept of DEI,

00:28:31.800 Mark Cuban

00:28:32.300 is doubling and tripling down

00:28:34.460 in his support for it.

00:28:37.920 I was going to let it go

00:28:39.300 for a while.

00:28:40.580 Let it go as in,

00:28:42.180 you know,

00:28:42.400 not comment on it

00:28:43.520 on acts,

00:28:44.580 at least directly

00:28:45.480 to Mark Cuban,

00:28:47.180 because

00:28:47.860 I didn't think he meant it.

00:28:50.940 Like,

00:28:51.360 I didn't think he was serious.

00:28:52.800 It just looked like

00:28:53.720 he was preparing

00:28:54.340 to run for office to me.

00:28:56.600 But the more he writes about it,

00:28:58.760 the more I think he means it.

00:29:01.700 Which,

00:29:02.400 which means I have to get involved.

00:29:06.020 Because that's not a good,

00:29:07.480 it's not a good direction

00:29:09.220 for the country.

00:29:10.880 So,

00:29:11.580 I posted to him

00:29:12.640 the following.

00:29:16.880 On X today,

00:29:18.080 I said,

00:29:18.760 Mark.

00:29:19.940 Literally,

00:29:20.600 everyone,

00:29:21.180 I can call him Mark,

00:29:22.240 because I've talked to him

00:29:23.420 a few times

00:29:23.980 by DMs anyway.

00:29:26.640 So I use his first name.

00:29:28.020 Mark,

00:29:28.440 literally everyone

00:29:29.300 who has spent a minute

00:29:30.340 in the real business world

00:29:31.460 knows DEI

00:29:32.740 might have been

00:29:34.060 well-intentioned,

00:29:35.300 but in practice

00:29:36.560 it is pure race discrimination

00:29:38.240 every time.

00:29:40.160 You think that's fair?

00:29:41.920 Is it fair to say that

00:29:43.220 obviously it was well-intentioned?

00:29:46.780 But,

00:29:47.380 in the real world,

00:29:48.580 no.

00:29:49.600 So I gave him,

00:29:51.160 I said,

00:29:51.620 ask me about the five careers

00:29:53.120 I've lost so far

00:29:54.160 for being white and male.

00:29:55.520 So I just listed them.

00:29:56.880 Number one,

00:29:57.620 Crocker Bank.

00:29:59.100 Quote,

00:29:59.660 we can't ever promote you

00:30:01.000 because you're white and male.

00:30:03.260 Yes,

00:30:03.880 management told me that

00:30:05.000 directly.

00:30:06.620 I'm not guessing.

00:30:07.900 They said it to my face

00:30:09.340 directly.

00:30:11.000 So I left Crocker Bank

00:30:12.160 and went to Pacific Bell.

00:30:13.580 What happened there?

00:30:15.040 Seed number one.

00:30:16.520 Same thing.

00:30:17.660 Exactly the same thing.

00:30:19.260 Management told me

00:30:20.020 they couldn't promote me

00:30:21.040 because I'm white and male.

00:30:22.240 I was back then

00:30:24.500 as well.

00:30:26.140 Couldn't change,

00:30:27.040 but it didn't.

00:30:28.320 Number three,

00:30:29.480 Dilbert was an animated show

00:30:30.920 that was doing well enough

00:30:32.960 to get renewed

00:30:34.780 on UPN.

00:30:37.220 But UPN decided

00:30:38.140 that Monday night

00:30:39.000 where that TV show ran,

00:30:41.260 they were going to turn it

00:30:41.920 into an all-black

00:30:42.980 comedy lineup.

00:30:44.460 And Dilbert didn't fit

00:30:45.360 the all-black

00:30:46.160 comedy lineup.

00:30:47.640 So it got moved

00:30:48.280 to a new time zone

00:30:49.280 and when you move

00:30:50.580 things to a new time zone

00:30:51.660 on TV,

00:30:52.220 it usually kills them,

00:30:53.520 which it did.

00:30:55.100 My speaking career,

00:30:56.780 which had been

00:30:57.480 quite robust,

00:30:59.000 completely ended

00:31:00.060 when I backed

00:31:01.560 to Trump

00:31:02.020 in 2016.

00:31:03.740 Why?

00:31:04.540 Was it because

00:31:05.340 I had Republican leanings?

00:31:07.440 No.

00:31:08.380 It was because

00:31:08.880 I was a white guy

00:31:09.660 and I backed Trump.

00:31:11.760 I mean,

00:31:11.940 it was just racist.

00:31:13.880 Yeah,

00:31:14.100 yeah,

00:31:14.340 there was no corporate

00:31:15.500 entity that could invite me

00:31:16.980 because there would be

00:31:17.940 too many people

00:31:18.680 in their own group

00:31:19.620 who would say,

00:31:20.260 why did you invite

00:31:20.980 a racist?

00:31:22.360 And what was the evidence

00:31:23.460 that I'm a racist?

00:31:25.100 That I'm white.

00:31:27.460 That's it.

00:31:28.060 And I thought

00:31:29.940 Trump would be

00:31:30.500 a good president.

00:31:32.040 That's it.

00:31:33.560 Would that have happened

00:31:34.460 to a black man?

00:31:36.720 Doubt it.

00:31:38.820 How about

00:31:39.280 my recent cancellation

00:31:42.960 in 2023?

00:31:44.020 So I lost

00:31:45.240 my entire

00:31:45.760 cartoon syndication

00:31:47.280 and publishing,

00:31:49.300 book publishing careers.

00:31:50.780 You can count

00:31:51.540 that as two.

00:31:52.980 So really,

00:31:53.560 it's six careers.

00:31:55.720 And

00:31:56.160 why did I get canceled?

00:31:59.020 Well,

00:31:59.300 here's how I would

00:32:00.100 frame it.

00:32:03.340 I said that

00:32:04.120 you should stay away

00:32:04.840 from people

00:32:05.340 who have been taught

00:32:06.040 in school

00:32:06.600 that you are

00:32:07.240 their oppressor.

00:32:09.540 You should stay away

00:32:10.720 from people

00:32:11.320 who are learning

00:32:13.020 in school

00:32:13.920 that you

00:32:15.740 are their

00:32:16.980 oppressor

00:32:17.640 and their main

00:32:18.300 problem in life.

00:32:20.460 Now,

00:32:21.180 I'm doubling down

00:32:22.360 and tripling down

00:32:23.160 on that because

00:32:23.880 everybody agrees.

00:32:25.480 There's literally

00:32:26.080 not a person

00:32:26.680 in the world

00:32:27.100 who would disagree

00:32:28.180 with that statement.

00:32:29.680 Now,

00:32:30.380 did I say it

00:32:31.240 in a way that

00:32:31.940 may have been

00:32:33.220 taken too provocatively?

00:32:35.420 Yes,

00:32:35.860 I did.

00:32:37.760 Intentionally,

00:32:38.360 I didn't realize

00:32:39.580 it would lead

00:32:40.520 to my total cancellation.

00:32:41.660 but I was trying

00:32:42.680 to be provocative.

00:32:44.180 But the point

00:32:45.040 is one

00:32:46.300 we all agree on.

00:32:47.840 There's nobody

00:32:48.560 in the world

00:32:49.280 who wants to spend

00:32:50.180 time with people

00:32:51.900 who,

00:32:52.420 in general,

00:32:53.440 have been literally

00:32:54.180 taught in school

00:32:55.280 that you're the problem.

00:32:58.200 Taught in school

00:32:59.380 that you're the problem.

00:33:01.820 Who disagrees

00:33:02.600 that you should

00:33:03.040 stay away

00:33:03.480 from that group

00:33:04.040 of people?

00:33:05.800 But,

00:33:06.400 let me say

00:33:06.900 carefully

00:33:07.620 and completely,

00:33:08.940 you shouldn't

00:33:09.880 discriminate

00:33:10.320 against individuals.

00:33:12.800 Right?

00:33:13.040 There's no one

00:33:13.740 individual

00:33:14.280 who represents

00:33:15.840 anything that's

00:33:17.060 some universal thing.

00:33:18.620 So don't discriminate

00:33:19.500 against individuals

00:33:20.940 in hiring

00:33:22.000 or your personal life

00:33:23.800 or renting

00:33:24.760 or any of that stuff.

00:33:26.560 I'm against that

00:33:27.400 100%.

00:33:28.180 But as a

00:33:29.920 demographic group,

00:33:31.680 can you say

00:33:32.300 that you should

00:33:32.980 stay away

00:33:33.460 from a group

00:33:34.840 that has been

00:33:37.240 taught in school

00:33:38.240 as part of the

00:33:39.960 government

00:33:40.380 officially sanctioned

00:33:41.700 programs

00:33:42.220 that you are

00:33:43.420 the problem?

00:33:44.620 Now,

00:33:44.800 you should get

00:33:45.220 the fuck away

00:33:45.940 from that

00:33:46.320 as far as you can.

00:33:48.240 And,

00:33:48.840 yeah,

00:33:49.160 I'm going to

00:33:49.480 triple down on that.

00:33:52.180 So,

00:33:52.680 anyway,

00:33:53.360 I saw

00:33:55.680 Elon Musk

00:33:56.400 say in response

00:33:57.740 to Cuban

00:33:59.580 because they've

00:34:00.040 been talking

00:34:00.440 about this

00:34:00.920 on the X platform,

00:34:02.320 talking about

00:34:03.080 DEI.

00:34:03.780 and Musk

00:34:05.140 said that

00:34:05.680 he agrees

00:34:06.400 that you should

00:34:06.980 look for

00:34:08.100 the right

00:34:08.800 qualifications

00:34:09.520 first,

00:34:10.860 but Musk

00:34:11.260 said that

00:34:11.760 if you had

00:34:12.500 a,

00:34:13.460 let's say,

00:34:14.140 a white

00:34:14.500 candidate

00:34:14.900 and a

00:34:15.840 candidate

00:34:16.540 who would

00:34:17.000 give you

00:34:17.360 some diversity,

00:34:19.260 that even

00:34:20.580 Musk

00:34:21.060 would use

00:34:22.140 the diversity

00:34:22.740 as a tiebreaker.

00:34:24.880 So if I

00:34:25.860 were to

00:34:26.180 apply for

00:34:27.180 a job

00:34:27.700 at Tesla

00:34:28.980 and I

00:34:30.360 had the

00:34:30.620 same

00:34:30.880 qualifications

00:34:31.560 as a

00:34:32.280 black

00:34:32.580 candidate

00:34:33.140 or

00:34:33.580 somebody

00:34:33.900 else

00:34:34.160 who

00:34:34.380 they

00:34:34.960 were

00:34:35.060 looking

00:34:35.300 for,

00:34:36.680 then

00:34:36.960 Elon Musk

00:34:37.560 says

00:34:37.980 that he

00:34:38.640 would

00:34:39.060 favor

00:34:39.520 the

00:34:40.000 other

00:34:40.280 candidate.

00:34:42.940 Now,

00:34:43.540 you know

00:34:43.720 that's racist,

00:34:44.460 right?

00:34:45.800 So I'm

00:34:46.820 deeply

00:34:47.380 disappointed,

00:34:48.220 but I also

00:34:48.620 agree with

00:34:49.060 him.

00:34:51.160 So I

00:34:51.880 agree with

00:34:52.480 Elon Musk's

00:34:53.440 point of

00:34:54.100 view.

00:34:55.040 It's

00:34:55.600 super

00:34:55.940 racist,

00:34:56.920 but I

00:34:57.860 agree with

00:34:58.260 it.

00:34:58.980 Here's why.

00:34:59.660 he's

00:35:00.380 taking it

00:35:00.800 from the

00:35:01.120 point of

00:35:01.460 view of

00:35:02.000 the,

00:35:03.120 well,

00:35:03.720 I can't

00:35:04.520 read his

00:35:04.880 mind,

00:35:05.380 but this

00:35:05.700 is my

00:35:06.000 best estimation

00:35:07.560 of why

00:35:08.140 his opinion

00:35:08.700 would be

00:35:09.140 what it

00:35:09.440 is.

00:35:11.300 If your

00:35:11.980 job is

00:35:12.680 to take

00:35:13.080 care of

00:35:13.300 the

00:35:13.420 shareholders,

00:35:15.020 your job

00:35:15.560 is for

00:35:15.900 your company

00:35:16.400 to thrive

00:35:17.080 within the

00:35:18.040 legal bounds

00:35:19.000 of the

00:35:19.820 constitution

00:35:20.380 and the

00:35:20.740 country,

00:35:22.060 you actually

00:35:22.940 are better

00:35:23.380 off if you

00:35:23.940 have a

00:35:24.220 diverse

00:35:24.620 workforce

00:35:25.480 that has

00:35:26.120 the same

00:35:26.460 level of

00:35:26.900 talent as

00:35:27.500 if you

00:35:28.100 would not.

00:35:29.660 So if

00:35:30.960 you take

00:35:31.260 the white

00:35:31.620 guilt out

00:35:32.140 of it and

00:35:32.980 you just

00:35:33.340 say,

00:35:33.800 can I

00:35:34.460 reduce the

00:35:35.160 amount of

00:35:35.640 outside pressure

00:35:36.600 I will get?

00:35:37.880 Will I make

00:35:38.540 my customers

00:35:39.280 happy?

00:35:40.260 Will the

00:35:40.760 press say

00:35:41.580 good things

00:35:42.080 about my

00:35:42.560 company?

00:35:43.580 And the

00:35:43.860 answer is

00:35:44.400 yes,

00:35:44.820 if it's

00:35:45.160 more

00:35:45.380 diverse.

00:35:46.880 So from

00:35:48.040 a business

00:35:48.660 person's

00:35:49.380 perspective,

00:35:50.780 Elon Musk

00:35:51.380 is 100%

00:35:52.540 right.

00:35:53.560 If you

00:35:54.240 had two

00:35:54.760 people who

00:35:55.260 are the

00:35:55.540 same

00:35:55.860 qualifications,

00:35:57.380 you probably

00:35:58.540 would want to

00:35:59.060 pick the

00:35:59.320 one that

00:35:59.580 gives you

00:35:59.880 diversity

00:36:00.420 as well.

00:36:01.700 Because as

00:36:02.420 Cuban points

00:36:03.180 out, and

00:36:03.980 I agree,

00:36:06.100 that diversity

00:36:06.900 can be an

00:36:07.600 advantage because

00:36:09.140 it gives you

00:36:09.780 more opinions

00:36:11.060 from more

00:36:12.040 places in

00:36:12.720 America than

00:36:13.300 you would

00:36:13.540 have otherwise.

00:36:14.560 But you

00:36:15.060 wouldn't do

00:36:15.460 it if you

00:36:17.000 were going

00:36:17.280 to lose

00:36:17.740 something else.

00:36:19.320 If you

00:36:19.640 had to give

00:36:20.060 up too

00:36:20.400 much to

00:36:20.820 get that

00:36:21.300 extra

00:36:22.260 perspective,

00:36:23.360 then you

00:36:24.720 have to

00:36:24.960 make that

00:36:25.260 choice,

00:36:25.600 which one

00:36:26.000 is the

00:36:26.320 bigger benefit

00:36:27.420 or cost.

00:36:27.920 But I

00:36:28.960 agree with

00:36:29.880 Elon Musk.

00:36:30.520 If you

00:36:30.820 put me in

00:36:31.320 his position,

00:36:32.520 I would

00:36:33.420 do what's

00:36:33.880 good for

00:36:34.240 the company

00:36:34.820 and the

00:36:35.420 shareholders,

00:36:36.100 because that's

00:36:36.460 my job,

00:36:37.440 and I

00:36:37.840 would probably

00:36:38.640 discriminate

00:36:39.500 racially.

00:36:40.640 However,

00:36:41.140 let me be

00:36:41.560 as clear as

00:36:42.140 possible.

00:36:43.060 This makes

00:36:43.700 Elon Musk

00:36:44.720 a racist.

00:36:48.480 Unambiguously.

00:36:49.900 Because he

00:36:50.620 said, in

00:36:51.300 clear language,

00:36:52.780 I would favor

00:36:53.580 somebody because

00:36:54.700 of their race

00:36:55.380 if they

00:36:56.260 had the

00:36:56.500 same

00:36:56.700 qualifications.

00:36:58.040 Now, if

00:36:58.300 he said, I'm

00:36:58.820 going to

00:36:59.020 flip a

00:36:59.420 coin, I

00:37:00.640 would say,

00:37:00.980 oh, that's

00:37:01.280 fair.

00:37:02.180 But he

00:37:02.680 said he

00:37:02.960 would favor

00:37:03.360 them because

00:37:04.360 of race.

00:37:04.840 That is

00:37:05.300 racism, purely

00:37:07.140 racism.

00:37:08.300 As an

00:37:08.900 individual, and

00:37:10.660 as a citizen

00:37:11.960 of the

00:37:13.320 country, I

00:37:14.400 say, fuck

00:37:14.980 you and

00:37:15.400 fuck that.

00:37:17.180 Fuck

00:37:17.560 you.

00:37:18.840 Fuck

00:37:19.320 you, Elon

00:37:20.020 Musk, for

00:37:21.720 being a racist

00:37:22.360 and saying it

00:37:23.040 in public.

00:37:23.920 But on the

00:37:24.340 other hand, I

00:37:24.940 totally agree

00:37:25.460 with you.

00:37:26.220 I would do

00:37:26.600 the same

00:37:26.920 thing.

00:37:27.720 Is that

00:37:28.280 fair?

00:37:29.640 Can I hold

00:37:30.520 those two

00:37:30.920 opinions strongly?

00:37:33.640 I would do

00:37:34.380 the same thing

00:37:35.060 he's doing,

00:37:36.160 because it

00:37:37.080 makes sense

00:37:37.580 from a

00:37:37.960 business

00:37:38.280 perspective.

00:37:39.420 And frankly,

00:37:40.200 it might even

00:37:40.760 be better for

00:37:41.380 the country.

00:37:42.780 He tends to

00:37:43.720 look at the

00:37:44.120 big picture.

00:37:45.320 Yes.

00:37:46.320 The big

00:37:46.800 picture, he's

00:37:48.740 probably right.

00:37:50.460 But it's

00:37:51.400 unambiguously

00:37:52.160 racist.

00:37:52.700 So let's

00:37:54.220 not, we

00:37:55.060 don't have

00:37:55.360 to sugar

00:37:55.760 coat it.

00:37:56.780 It is

00:37:57.100 racist by

00:37:59.000 definition.

00:37:59.900 I mean, it's

00:38:00.300 the cleanest,

00:38:01.640 clearest,

00:38:02.940 complete,

00:38:04.460 racist thing

00:38:05.120 you could

00:38:05.420 possibly do.

00:38:06.680 Might be

00:38:07.240 good.

00:38:07.980 Might be

00:38:08.480 good for

00:38:08.760 the country.

00:38:11.840 But probably

00:38:12.980 not.

00:38:14.960 You know

00:38:15.520 what the

00:38:15.720 real problem

00:38:16.140 is?

00:38:17.280 The real

00:38:17.920 problem is

00:38:18.380 there's no

00:38:18.740 such thing

00:38:19.240 as two

00:38:19.580 people who

00:38:20.000 have the

00:38:20.220 same

00:38:20.400 qualifications.

00:38:21.080 qualifications.

00:38:21.820 That's not

00:38:22.380 a real

00:38:22.640 thing.

00:38:24.220 So it

00:38:24.760 might be

00:38:25.040 that we're

00:38:25.320 not really

00:38:25.720 even talking

00:38:26.180 about anything

00:38:26.600 real.

00:38:27.460 Have you

00:38:27.740 ever met

00:38:28.140 two candidates

00:38:28.800 who have

00:38:29.060 the same

00:38:29.340 qualifications?

00:38:30.300 You said,

00:38:30.700 oh, these

00:38:31.040 are equal.

00:38:32.080 There might

00:38:32.460 be people

00:38:32.880 you can't

00:38:33.360 tell the

00:38:33.680 difference,

00:38:34.880 but they're

00:38:35.600 never the

00:38:35.960 same.

00:38:36.840 You just

00:38:37.200 can't tell.

00:38:38.540 So maybe

00:38:38.900 that ends

00:38:39.380 up the

00:38:39.640 same.

00:38:40.280 All

00:38:40.400 right.

00:38:43.120 Apparently

00:38:43.560 the effort

00:38:44.060 to keep

00:38:44.480 Trump off

00:38:45.420 the ballot

00:38:48.480 because of

00:38:49.340 his insurrection

00:38:50.220 ways,

00:38:51.080 has now

00:38:52.080 been extended

00:38:53.220 to a whole

00:38:54.020 bunch of

00:38:54.400 other members

00:38:54.980 of Congress.

00:38:56.520 So there's

00:38:57.160 this former

00:38:58.040 congressional

00:38:58.800 candidate

00:38:59.360 who,

00:39:01.780 he's famous

00:39:02.920 for hating

00:39:03.720 MAGA,

00:39:04.700 he's trying

00:39:05.500 to use that

00:39:05.960 same 14th

00:39:06.740 amendment

00:39:07.040 to disqualify

00:39:08.420 one other

00:39:10.120 candidate,

00:39:10.640 Perry,

00:39:11.640 but then

00:39:12.040 there's

00:39:12.300 somebody else

00:39:12.860 trying to

00:39:13.220 qualify 126

00:39:14.660 members of

00:39:15.200 Congress,

00:39:15.760 all Republicans,

00:39:16.640 because they

00:39:18.700 somewhat

00:39:19.860 agreed with

00:39:21.440 the January

00:39:23.020 6th

00:39:23.680 protesters.

00:39:26.140 Now,

00:39:27.320 have you

00:39:29.160 ever seen

00:39:29.540 anything like

00:39:30.160 this?

00:39:31.180 Where one

00:39:32.160 party is

00:39:32.740 trying to

00:39:33.120 remove people

00:39:33.860 from the

00:39:34.280 ballot for

00:39:35.540 reasons that

00:39:36.160 are obviously

00:39:36.720 bullshit,

00:39:37.680 and we got

00:39:39.220 this far?

00:39:40.600 Now, I think

00:39:41.320 none of that's

00:39:41.900 going to be

00:39:42.200 successful,

00:39:42.740 but pretty

00:39:45.320 amazing.

00:39:50.240 Oh, my.

00:39:51.760 Let me tell

00:39:52.720 you, the

00:39:53.060 comments coming

00:39:53.840 from Rumble

00:39:54.420 are a

00:39:55.220 different

00:39:55.480 character than

00:39:56.300 the comments

00:39:56.820 coming from

00:39:57.600 YouTube.

00:40:00.500 Oh, my.

00:40:03.640 Anyway, so

00:40:04.520 Jonathan

00:40:05.600 totally writes

00:40:06.260 about the

00:40:07.160 insurrection

00:40:08.440 play that the

00:40:09.400 Democrats are

00:40:09.980 doing.

00:40:10.880 Now, I've

00:40:12.260 never seen

00:40:12.720 anything as

00:40:15.020 anti-democratic

00:40:16.440 as that.

00:40:18.040 What is

00:40:18.400 more anti-democratic

00:40:20.120 than keeping

00:40:20.680 candidates off

00:40:21.460 the ballot

00:40:21.960 for bullshit?

00:40:23.880 Anyway, Bill

00:40:24.500 Ackman continues

00:40:25.540 to stir up

00:40:27.800 trouble.

00:40:28.980 So, you

00:40:29.320 know, Bill

00:40:29.600 Ackman was

00:40:30.240 the or maybe

00:40:31.440 one of two

00:40:32.180 main people

00:40:32.840 pushing to

00:40:33.780 get the

00:40:34.220 Harvard

00:40:35.100 president fired,

00:40:36.940 and she

00:40:37.340 eventually did

00:40:37.940 resign.

00:40:38.800 But then he's

00:40:39.500 also going

00:40:40.420 after MIT,

00:40:41.300 and I

00:40:43.600 guess there

00:40:44.080 are people

00:40:44.400 and business

00:40:45.300 insiders

00:40:45.800 going after

00:40:46.360 him.

00:40:47.480 So, business

00:40:47.960 insider went

00:40:48.560 after Bill

00:40:49.020 Ackman's

00:40:49.440 wife for

00:40:51.200 some academic

00:40:51.940 work in

00:40:52.940 which he

00:40:53.240 had not

00:40:53.620 done proper

00:40:55.060 attributions

00:40:55.860 because he

00:40:57.020 was going

00:40:57.420 after president

00:40:58.420 of Harvard

00:40:59.000 for plagiarism.

00:41:01.000 So, business

00:41:01.480 insider said,

00:41:02.460 well, we'll

00:41:03.020 look at your

00:41:03.540 wife.

00:41:03.940 is that

00:41:06.700 fair?

00:41:07.920 Is it

00:41:08.520 fair to

00:41:08.920 look at a

00:41:09.300 guy's

00:41:09.580 wife because

00:41:11.320 you don't

00:41:11.720 like what

00:41:12.120 he said?

00:41:15.440 No.

00:41:17.160 No, that's

00:41:17.980 not fair.

00:41:19.240 That's not

00:41:19.920 fair at all

00:41:20.540 because it's

00:41:21.640 not like it's

00:41:22.140 politics or

00:41:23.220 something else.

00:41:24.540 You know what

00:41:25.000 else wouldn't

00:41:25.820 have been

00:41:26.120 fair?

00:41:27.260 If Bill

00:41:27.740 Ackman had

00:41:29.260 gone after

00:41:29.880 the president

00:41:30.700 of Harvard's

00:41:31.840 husband for

00:41:33.760 plagiarism,

00:41:34.820 what do you

00:41:35.880 think I would

00:41:36.280 have said

00:41:36.540 about that?

00:41:37.860 I would have

00:41:38.560 said, Bill

00:41:38.960 Ackman, you're

00:41:39.500 being a dick.

00:41:40.680 If you go

00:41:41.220 after the

00:41:41.680 president of

00:41:42.260 Harvard for

00:41:42.820 plagiarism, that

00:41:43.560 makes sense

00:41:44.140 because that's

00:41:45.480 a job that

00:41:46.040 is supposed to

00:41:46.540 protect against

00:41:47.880 plagiarism.

00:41:49.300 But if you

00:41:49.720 went after the

00:41:50.260 spouse, even

00:41:51.620 if I don't

00:41:52.660 like what the

00:41:53.320 spouse did,

00:41:54.480 that's not a

00:41:55.040 fair attack.

00:41:56.420 That's another

00:41:58.320 domain.

00:41:59.380 And when I

00:41:59.680 watch Business

00:42:00.420 Insider go

00:42:01.060 after Bill

00:42:01.520 Ackman's

00:42:02.000 wife, I

00:42:02.460 say, Bill

00:42:03.720 Ackman's

00:42:04.140 wife wasn't

00:42:04.720 involved.

00:42:06.220 She didn't

00:42:06.620 say a peep

00:42:07.160 about any

00:42:07.620 of this.

00:42:08.440 She's not a

00:42:09.100 politician.

00:42:10.240 She's not a

00:42:10.860 politician's

00:42:11.520 wife.

00:42:12.780 That is

00:42:13.460 completely

00:42:13.880 unfair attack.

00:42:15.480 So what

00:42:15.760 did Bill

00:42:16.040 Ackman do?

00:42:17.080 He's forming

00:42:17.700 a group to

00:42:18.360 look into the

00:42:19.680 Business Insider

00:42:20.680 writers to

00:42:22.440 see how much

00:42:22.960 plagiarism they've

00:42:23.900 done.

00:42:25.540 So now it's

00:42:26.340 full-out war.

00:42:27.780 It's just

00:42:28.200 full-out war.

00:42:30.840 Who's going to

00:42:31.660 win?

00:42:32.560 If it becomes a

00:42:33.800 full-out

00:42:34.220 plagiarism war,

00:42:35.740 who's likely to

00:42:36.980 win, the left

00:42:37.600 or the right?

00:42:38.740 Well, the

00:42:40.580 world of

00:42:41.460 academic writing

00:42:42.320 is probably

00:42:43.240 five or ten

00:42:44.800 to one populated

00:42:45.820 with Democrats.

00:42:47.300 So they should

00:42:48.280 have five to

00:42:49.320 ten times as

00:42:50.460 much writing.

00:42:52.300 And if

00:42:52.620 everything were

00:42:53.200 equal on both

00:42:54.000 sides, in

00:42:54.860 terms of

00:42:55.140 rate, you

00:42:56.260 would have

00:42:56.620 five to ten

00:42:57.400 times more

00:42:58.320 plagiarism,

00:43:00.180 just because

00:43:00.820 there's more

00:43:01.180 writing.

00:43:04.140 So, game

00:43:06.300 on, Business

00:43:07.280 Insider.

00:43:08.340 You just

00:43:08.800 took on

00:43:09.380 probably the

00:43:12.580 most dangerous

00:43:13.360 man in

00:43:13.860 American business,

00:43:15.140 and he's

00:43:16.020 going to put

00:43:16.360 you out of

00:43:16.680 business, I

00:43:17.680 think.

00:43:18.640 Maybe.

00:43:19.200 All right.

00:43:23.040 So then he

00:43:23.980 also went

00:43:24.660 after MIT,

00:43:25.940 Bill Ackman

00:43:26.360 did.

00:43:27.300 So there's

00:43:27.880 a chairman,

00:43:29.380 a chairman

00:43:30.020 of MIT,

00:43:31.380 his wife has

00:43:32.380 some non-profit

00:43:33.320 and they did

00:43:34.120 some clever

00:43:34.660 thing that

00:43:35.780 only a person

00:43:36.400 like Bill

00:43:36.820 Ackman could

00:43:37.440 untangle.

00:43:38.980 So they did

00:43:39.580 something with

00:43:40.180 a charity that

00:43:41.280 doesn't look

00:43:41.880 on the surface

00:43:43.580 like it's the

00:43:44.740 most legitimate

00:43:45.400 thing in the

00:43:45.980 world,

00:43:46.960 that did some

00:43:47.560 kind of clever

00:43:48.340 tax manipulation

00:43:49.760 that Bill

00:43:50.940 Ackman says

00:43:52.020 might have

00:43:52.540 been illegal.

00:43:54.140 Might have

00:43:54.700 been illegal.

00:43:56.360 So, could

00:43:57.700 you remind

00:43:58.280 me, if this

00:43:59.180 ever comes

00:43:59.660 up, could

00:44:01.060 you remind

00:44:01.500 me never to

00:44:02.220 start a public

00:44:02.860 fight with

00:44:03.380 Bill Ackman?

00:44:05.240 Please?

00:44:06.140 If you ever

00:44:06.640 see me like

00:44:07.800 leaning in that

00:44:08.600 direction for any

00:44:09.420 reason, I have

00:44:10.080 no reason, but

00:44:10.900 if you ever saw

00:44:11.920 me, can you

00:44:12.980 just grab me

00:44:14.060 by the collar

00:44:14.720 and just pull

00:44:15.780 me back like,

00:44:17.040 Scott, this

00:44:18.320 isn't going

00:44:18.740 to work

00:44:19.020 out for

00:44:19.340 you?

00:44:20.520 Don't.

00:44:21.160 Don't do

00:44:21.560 it.

00:44:22.680 But I love

00:44:23.440 watching it, since

00:44:24.340 I'm not

00:44:24.680 involved.

00:44:26.940 And more

00:44:27.520 evidence that

00:44:28.220 everybody, including

00:44:29.040 me, or even

00:44:29.920 especially me, was

00:44:31.400 wrong about

00:44:32.120 Fetterman.

00:44:33.860 He says the

00:44:34.780 border crisis is

00:44:35.800 a crisis.

00:44:37.440 What?

00:44:38.980 Democrats can

00:44:39.780 say that?

00:44:40.880 Apparently he

00:44:41.440 can.

00:44:42.120 Right out loud.

00:44:43.860 He said that

00:44:44.700 when he went to

00:44:45.260 Harvard, Harvard

00:44:46.000 was always a little

00:44:46.820 pinko, but now

00:44:48.100 he doesn't

00:44:48.480 recognize it.

00:44:49.960 What?

00:44:51.460 What?

00:44:53.580 Okay.

00:44:54.240 That sounds like

00:44:54.740 a Republican.

00:44:55.860 He's also a

00:44:56.820 full-throated

00:44:57.300 supporter of

00:44:58.000 Israel, and

00:44:59.320 he's not a

00:44:59.840 big fan of

00:45:00.600 the people

00:45:02.080 talking about

00:45:02.660 colonizers,

00:45:03.560 which he calls

00:45:04.280 out, calling

00:45:04.980 them colonizers.

00:45:06.480 He goes like,

00:45:07.140 where does this

00:45:07.600 come from?

00:45:08.080 It must be

00:45:08.560 TikTok.

00:45:09.360 He hates

00:45:09.820 TikTok, too.

00:45:11.320 Come on.

00:45:13.240 Come on.

00:45:14.600 Fetterman?

00:45:15.780 Fetterman is

00:45:16.580 pro-Israel,

00:45:17.520 anti-TikTok,

00:45:19.220 thinks Harvard

00:45:20.220 has gone full

00:45:21.020 pinko, and

00:45:22.580 the border

00:45:22.940 crisis is a

00:45:23.760 crisis.

00:45:26.620 You know

00:45:27.280 what else?

00:45:28.420 I watched a

00:45:29.280 clip of him

00:45:30.080 describing it.

00:45:31.520 It actually

00:45:31.940 looks like he

00:45:32.520 recovered.

00:45:35.280 He looks

00:45:36.020 recovered.

00:45:37.260 Like, when he

00:45:37.800 talks, I

00:45:38.600 thought his

00:45:39.200 fluency was

00:45:41.600 good.

00:45:43.960 Now, I

00:45:45.980 don't agree

00:45:46.440 with him on

00:45:47.080 all of his

00:45:47.720 policies, but

00:45:49.880 he's the

00:45:50.620 real deal.

00:45:52.320 Like, I

00:45:52.980 don't want to

00:45:53.760 walk away

00:45:54.260 from, or

00:45:55.180 you know, I

00:45:57.340 just don't want

00:45:57.800 to walk away

00:45:58.240 from something

00:45:58.740 that's real.

00:46:00.200 I totally see

00:46:01.320 his appeal now.

00:46:02.480 I absolutely

00:46:03.780 completely see

00:46:05.500 his appeal

00:46:06.100 now.

00:46:07.000 Now, I'm

00:46:07.600 not sure

00:46:07.900 that's why

00:46:08.260 he got

00:46:08.520 elected.

00:46:09.300 I think he

00:46:09.960 got elected

00:46:10.360 just for being

00:46:11.000 a Democrat,

00:46:11.920 but he has

00:46:12.500 some skill.

00:46:12.940 I'm going

00:46:13.820 to give

00:46:14.060 him that.

00:46:15.060 I don't

00:46:15.340 think he's

00:46:15.780 president

00:46:16.600 material, but

00:46:20.040 he could

00:46:20.300 surprise you

00:46:20.800 someday.

00:46:23.320 Sam

00:46:23.700 Altman said

00:46:24.700 something useful

00:46:25.620 here about

00:46:26.640 the AI

00:46:28.520 speed at

00:46:29.220 which we

00:46:29.560 adopt it.

00:46:30.300 So, Sam

00:46:30.660 Altman,

00:46:31.240 head of

00:46:31.920 OpenAI,

00:46:33.580 he says

00:46:34.000 stasis is

00:46:34.840 a myth.

00:46:35.500 Stasis

00:46:35.860 meaning staying

00:46:36.920 where you

00:46:37.300 are.

00:46:37.860 Everything's

00:46:38.380 moving all

00:46:38.900 the time.

00:46:40.320 So, there's

00:46:40.740 no such

00:46:41.120 thing as

00:46:41.620 staying in

00:46:42.820 one place.

00:46:43.680 So, you

00:46:44.200 can say

00:46:44.600 you want

00:46:45.260 to, but

00:46:45.700 it's not

00:46:46.140 really a

00:46:46.540 choice.

00:46:47.960 Nobody can

00:46:48.660 stay in

00:46:49.000 one place.

00:46:49.520 The world

00:46:49.820 is changing

00:46:50.260 too much

00:46:50.760 all the

00:46:51.020 time.

00:46:51.980 But he

00:46:52.300 says this,

00:46:53.600 the fight

00:46:54.160 for a

00:46:54.440 future is

00:46:54.840 a struggle

00:46:55.280 between

00:46:55.780 technological

00:46:56.860 driven

00:46:57.660 growth and

00:46:58.620 managed

00:46:59.100 decline.

00:47:01.020 Wow.

00:47:01.980 That's sort

00:47:02.780 of setting

00:47:03.160 up the

00:47:03.620 fake choice

00:47:04.840 a little

00:47:05.140 bit, but

00:47:06.140 it does

00:47:06.420 make the

00:47:06.740 point well.

00:47:08.220 He says

00:47:08.640 the growth

00:47:09.120 path has

00:47:09.800 inherent risk

00:47:10.440 and challenges

00:47:11.000 along with

00:47:11.980 its fantastic

00:47:12.800 upside, and

00:47:14.040 the decline

00:47:14.660 path has

00:47:15.480 guaranteed

00:47:16.040 long-term

00:47:16.900 disaster.

00:47:18.520 Stasis,

00:47:19.540 staying where

00:47:20.560 you are,

00:47:21.240 is a myth.

00:47:23.460 So, what he

00:47:24.440 didn't say, but

00:47:25.280 I think is

00:47:25.760 implied, that

00:47:27.060 if the United

00:47:27.660 States decided

00:47:28.560 to slow down

00:47:29.580 on AI, just

00:47:31.680 to make sure

00:47:32.160 we're going

00:47:32.640 safely, our

00:47:34.140 competitors

00:47:34.680 won't,

00:47:36.680 China won't,

00:47:37.560 right?

00:47:39.220 So, we

00:47:39.800 would guarantee

00:47:40.500 that this

00:47:42.100 key technology,

00:47:43.940 you know, we

00:47:44.360 go behind.

00:47:45.460 That would, I

00:47:46.660 think I would

00:47:47.100 agree with

00:47:47.580 him, that

00:47:47.880 would guarantee

00:47:48.580 a managed

00:47:50.680 decline.

00:47:52.320 That would

00:47:52.620 be like not

00:47:53.160 trying.

00:47:54.800 Now, I

00:47:55.520 agree with

00:47:55.920 him completely

00:47:56.520 on the risk

00:47:57.260 analysis, and

00:47:58.620 I think people

00:47:59.200 in general are

00:47:59.880 bad at risk

00:48:00.460 analysis, which

00:48:01.700 is why we

00:48:02.160 often get the

00:48:02.740 wrong answers.

00:48:04.060 The risk

00:48:04.480 analysis is

00:48:05.340 exactly the

00:48:06.280 way he

00:48:06.560 described it.

00:48:08.560 Yes, there's

00:48:09.400 a risk of

00:48:09.980 all technology.

00:48:11.340 There was a

00:48:11.720 risk with

00:48:12.180 smartphones, and

00:48:13.120 I think we're

00:48:13.520 paying it.

00:48:14.620 I think we're

00:48:14.940 paying a pretty

00:48:15.460 big price for

00:48:16.180 smartphones.

00:48:17.240 There was a

00:48:17.640 risk of, you

00:48:18.480 know, windmills

00:48:19.980 would eat your

00:48:20.820 birds, and

00:48:21.720 solar cells

00:48:24.020 would be hard

00:48:24.840 to recycle.

00:48:26.280 You know,

00:48:26.480 basically,

00:48:27.140 everything that's

00:48:28.860 progressed also

00:48:29.640 has a big

00:48:31.120 risk involved.

00:48:32.400 So, if you

00:48:33.200 say that AI

00:48:33.860 has a big

00:48:34.660 risk, you're

00:48:35.620 right, and it

00:48:36.820 might even be

00:48:37.380 bigger than

00:48:37.820 the other

00:48:38.100 risks.

00:48:38.700 It might

00:48:39.020 actually be

00:48:39.520 existential.

00:48:40.740 You're right.

00:48:41.880 But not

00:48:42.560 doing it

00:48:43.000 guarantees you

00:48:43.720 go into

00:48:44.000 business.

00:48:45.240 Not doing it

00:48:46.120 guarantees you

00:48:46.780 become a

00:48:47.180 third world

00:48:47.660 country in

00:48:48.260 the end.

00:48:49.240 So it's not

00:48:49.980 really a hard

00:48:50.540 choice.

00:48:52.280 If you have

00:48:53.080 a, let's

00:48:53.820 say, you feel

00:48:55.340 you have better

00:48:56.020 than a 50-50

00:48:57.000 chance of making

00:48:58.640 AI work without

00:48:59.760 killing you,

00:49:00.780 that is a way

00:49:02.040 better chance than

00:49:03.660 not doing it

00:49:04.340 at all and

00:49:05.220 letting China

00:49:05.840 have AI.

00:49:07.380 I mean, that's

00:49:07.880 the end of

00:49:08.260 everything.

00:49:09.920 So, yeah.

00:49:11.200 Now, on top of

00:49:12.020 that, it's not

00:49:12.880 just worrying

00:49:13.500 about China

00:49:14.660 because people

00:49:16.680 are building AI

00:49:17.540 in their

00:49:17.920 basements.

00:49:19.500 We already

00:49:20.100 have the

00:49:20.800 tools that

00:49:22.020 an individual

00:49:22.760 could build

00:49:23.340 an AI, which

00:49:25.000 has already

00:49:25.380 happened.

00:49:26.640 And you

00:49:28.200 can't stop

00:49:28.820 it.

00:49:29.340 So the idea

00:49:29.920 of artificially

00:49:31.240 slowing down

00:49:32.060 in our

00:49:32.300 companies, it

00:49:34.440 doesn't really

00:49:34.940 make sense

00:49:35.420 from a risk

00:49:36.000 management

00:49:36.480 perspective.

00:49:38.260 Now, let

00:49:38.700 me be clear.

00:49:39.660 If AI gets

00:49:41.460 out of control

00:49:42.140 and destroys

00:49:42.920 America, am

00:49:43.800 I wrong?

00:49:45.300 Is my

00:49:45.980 opinion wrong

00:49:46.840 if five

00:49:48.300 years from

00:49:49.260 now, America

00:49:50.200 is destroyed

00:49:50.860 by AI?

00:49:52.240 The answer

00:49:52.560 is no.

00:49:53.700 It was still

00:49:54.460 the right

00:49:54.860 bet.

00:49:56.140 It's just

00:49:56.540 not every

00:49:57.000 bet is going

00:49:57.760 to be a

00:49:58.060 winner.

00:49:58.900 But in

00:49:59.260 terms of

00:49:59.780 guessing what's

00:50:00.740 the right

00:50:01.060 way to go,

00:50:01.600 this is

00:50:02.120 definitely

00:50:02.540 the right

00:50:02.880 way to

00:50:03.140 go.

00:50:03.860 You want

00:50:04.220 to be a

00:50:04.540 little bit

00:50:04.880 aggressive,

00:50:05.720 at least

00:50:06.180 in AI.

00:50:07.720 There's no

00:50:08.120 way around

00:50:08.480 it.

00:50:09.020 Because if

00:50:09.400 you take

00:50:09.800 the, we

00:50:10.360 don't want

00:50:10.680 to be

00:50:10.880 dead in

00:50:11.240 five years,

00:50:12.400 you've

00:50:12.760 guaranteed

00:50:13.140 you're

00:50:13.440 dead in

00:50:13.800 ten.

00:50:15.420 So I'll

00:50:16.020 take a

00:50:16.360 50% chance

00:50:18.680 of surviving

00:50:19.400 over 100%

00:50:21.120 chance of

00:50:21.660 failing.

00:50:24.740 That's just

00:50:25.340 basic risk

00:50:26.880 management.

00:50:27.520 That's not

00:50:27.840 even an

00:50:28.220 opinion.

00:50:28.920 That's just

00:50:29.300 risk management.

00:50:30.600 It's just

00:50:30.840 numbers.

00:50:31.140 It's just

00:50:31.580 math.

00:50:34.080 Of course,

00:50:34.640 you'd have

00:50:34.900 to believe

00:50:35.220 your own

00:50:35.900 assumptions to

00:50:36.720 do the

00:50:37.020 math.

00:50:38.080 All right,

00:50:38.500 let's talk

00:50:38.980 about Biden's

00:50:39.880 hate speech.

00:50:41.600 So Dementia

00:50:42.240 Hitler, I

00:50:42.960 like to call

00:50:43.400 him Dementia

00:50:44.180 Hitler,

00:50:45.260 gives a speech

00:50:46.040 and of course

00:50:46.520 his staff was

00:50:47.420 quite aware

00:50:47.960 that if they

00:50:49.640 gave him a

00:50:50.600 background that

00:50:51.300 looked satanic,

00:50:53.040 that people

00:50:53.500 like me would

00:50:54.100 say, hey,

00:50:55.580 that speech

00:50:56.080 looked satanic

00:50:56.860 like his last

00:50:57.580 one.

00:50:57.780 So you

00:50:59.120 know how

00:50:59.320 they fixed

00:50:59.740 it?

00:51:00.540 They put

00:51:01.180 solid American

00:51:02.380 flags behind

00:51:03.560 him so that

00:51:04.780 from every

00:51:05.560 angle there

00:51:07.020 would be an

00:51:07.400 American flag

00:51:08.200 behind him so

00:51:09.560 that it didn't

00:51:10.040 look like

00:51:11.580 Satan.

00:51:13.720 So Dementia

00:51:14.520 Hitler gets up

00:51:15.260 there and starts

00:51:15.820 talking like,

00:51:16.520 rah,

00:51:16.840 rah,

00:51:17.520 Hitler,

00:51:18.860 kill all the

00:51:19.320 maggots,

00:51:19.980 or whatever he

00:51:20.460 said.

00:51:21.580 He's got all

00:51:22.220 these flags

00:51:22.700 behind him.

00:51:23.220 So do

00:51:25.600 you think

00:51:26.000 that Biden

00:51:27.040 may have

00:51:29.020 the DEI

00:51:30.200 problem that

00:51:31.100 he's trying

00:51:31.680 too hard

00:51:32.140 for diversity

00:51:32.900 and if you

00:51:34.000 try too

00:51:34.460 hard from

00:51:35.040 the limited

00:51:35.720 pool of

00:51:36.380 people available

00:51:37.160 you might

00:51:38.320 end up with

00:51:38.940 a competency

00:51:39.980 problem.

00:51:42.060 Yeah.

00:51:43.420 Do you

00:51:43.780 know what

00:51:43.980 the problem

00:51:44.420 with putting

00:51:45.400 all American

00:51:46.140 flags behind

00:51:46.960 Biden is?

00:51:48.840 Does anybody

00:51:49.320 know the

00:51:49.660 problem with

00:51:50.080 that?

00:51:51.540 I'll bet

00:51:51.840 his staff

00:51:52.240 doesn't know

00:51:52.720 the problem.

00:51:53.220 There is a

00:51:55.040 problem.

00:51:55.940 You know

00:51:56.220 what it

00:51:56.460 is?

00:51:58.640 Now,

00:51:59.220 I'm not

00:51:59.540 sure that

00:52:00.040 science is

00:52:01.320 borne out,

00:52:03.260 but in

00:52:04.100 this book,

00:52:04.660 Persuasion

00:52:05.260 by Cialdini,

00:52:07.280 he's also

00:52:07.760 the author

00:52:08.180 of Influence,

00:52:08.960 the most

00:52:09.260 important book

00:52:09.940 on persuasion

00:52:10.920 ever written.

00:52:13.040 So this

00:52:13.440 is somebody

00:52:14.180 who works

00:52:14.580 on Democrat

00:52:15.740 campaigns.

00:52:16.880 Until

00:52:17.160 recently,

00:52:17.680 I think he's

00:52:18.240 retired from

00:52:18.880 politics.

00:52:19.880 So he's

00:52:20.260 actually advised

00:52:21.060 Obama.

00:52:21.600 We think

00:52:23.120 he advised

00:52:23.880 Clinton.

00:52:25.940 Right?

00:52:26.760 One of the

00:52:27.440 things in

00:52:27.840 his book

00:52:28.320 is that

00:52:29.440 they did

00:52:29.760 a test

00:52:30.260 of how

00:52:30.900 people are

00:52:31.440 primed.

00:52:32.600 The

00:52:32.840 persuasion

00:52:33.420 part is

00:52:33.820 about

00:52:34.020 priming

00:52:34.400 people.

00:52:35.300 If they

00:52:35.920 see an

00:52:36.240 American

00:52:36.540 flag,

00:52:38.060 you know

00:52:38.320 what the

00:52:38.560 result was?

00:52:40.140 American

00:52:40.660 flags make

00:52:41.460 people vote

00:52:42.220 Republican.

00:52:42.760 because the

00:52:44.960 American flag

00:52:45.820 is the

00:52:46.240 symbol of

00:52:46.700 patriotism.

00:52:48.460 When you

00:52:49.120 say

00:52:49.360 patriotism,

00:52:50.740 who do

00:52:51.560 you think

00:52:51.860 of?

00:52:53.280 Even if

00:52:53.960 you don't

00:52:54.280 like

00:52:54.560 Republicans,

00:52:56.160 you kind

00:52:57.160 of think,

00:52:57.620 okay,

00:52:57.880 they're the

00:52:58.460 flag

00:52:58.780 waivers.

00:53:00.100 The

00:53:00.220 Republicans

00:53:00.620 are the

00:53:01.100 flag

00:53:01.380 people.

00:53:02.120 They're the

00:53:02.440 ones who

00:53:02.780 don't want

00:53:03.120 you to

00:53:03.340 burn it.

00:53:04.240 Democrats

00:53:04.720 are the

00:53:05.000 ones who

00:53:05.580 might be

00:53:06.180 okay with

00:53:06.620 burning it.

00:53:07.740 Republicans,

00:53:08.500 no,

00:53:08.700 don't burn

00:53:09.060 my flag.

00:53:09.620 Republican

00:53:10.900 most likely

00:53:11.800 to put a

00:53:12.240 flag outside

00:53:12.920 their house.

00:53:14.260 Republicans

00:53:14.620 most likely

00:53:15.600 to go to

00:53:16.060 a protest

00:53:16.680 holding an

00:53:17.980 American

00:53:18.280 flag.

00:53:19.620 Democrats

00:53:20.220 most likely

00:53:20.860 to go to

00:53:21.260 a protest

00:53:21.780 holding a

00:53:23.780 Palestinian

00:53:24.200 flag,

00:53:25.800 Mexican

00:53:26.280 flag.

00:53:29.120 So,

00:53:30.040 I think

00:53:32.760 that Biden's

00:53:33.980 staff failed

00:53:34.760 him again,

00:53:35.840 and I

00:53:36.840 totally get

00:53:37.440 that they

00:53:37.760 wanted to

00:53:38.140 make the

00:53:38.460 background

00:53:38.820 look

00:53:39.240 not

00:53:39.800 satanic,

00:53:40.760 but they

00:53:41.520 made it

00:53:41.900 look

00:53:42.080 Republican

00:53:42.640 instead.

00:53:44.240 Will that

00:53:44.740 give Biden

00:53:45.260 any

00:53:45.520 Republican

00:53:46.060 votes

00:53:46.540 because

00:53:46.900 he

00:53:47.100 has

00:53:47.280 flags?

00:53:48.640 Nope.

00:53:50.000 Nope.

00:53:51.420 Will it

00:53:52.060 make people

00:53:52.620 think,

00:53:53.220 huh,

00:53:54.140 it looks

00:53:54.460 like he's

00:53:54.840 agreeing

00:53:55.140 with the

00:53:55.440 Republicans

00:53:55.860 and I

00:53:56.600 feel more

00:53:57.000 Republican

00:53:57.480 because I

00:53:57.940 saw some

00:53:58.340 flags?

00:53:59.300 Well,

00:53:59.740 it depends

00:54:00.160 if you

00:54:00.460 believe the

00:54:00.860 research.

00:54:02.580 You know,

00:54:02.840 the research

00:54:03.600 is in the

00:54:04.140 field where

00:54:04.880 I'm not

00:54:05.840 sure,

00:54:06.200 it's not

00:54:06.800 like physics

00:54:07.480 where you

00:54:07.800 can prove

00:54:08.240 it's true.

00:54:08.660 Sometimes

00:54:09.600 it would

00:54:09.760 be different

00:54:10.100 opinions.

00:54:10.440 So the

00:54:10.940 research might

00:54:11.520 be sketchy.

00:54:13.460 But,

00:54:13.760 yeah,

00:54:14.840 I think the

00:54:15.220 American flag

00:54:15.880 was a,

00:54:17.000 weirdly,

00:54:17.680 it was a

00:54:17.980 mistake.

00:54:19.060 It was

00:54:19.300 actually a

00:54:20.260 staff mistake.

00:54:22.640 So,

00:54:23.360 anyway,

00:54:24.440 Dementia

00:54:25.060 Hitler,

00:54:25.440 as I call

00:54:25.960 him,

00:54:26.280 is angry

00:54:27.000 and unstable

00:54:28.760 and chaotic,

00:54:29.600 and he

00:54:30.820 does look

00:54:31.320 like Hitler.

00:54:32.660 In other

00:54:33.180 words,

00:54:33.520 I only

00:54:33.900 see hate

00:54:34.500 when he

00:54:34.860 talks.

00:54:36.480 Was that

00:54:36.820 your take?

00:54:38.160 The look

00:54:39.000 on his

00:54:39.340 face and

00:54:40.060 the way

00:54:40.380 he presented

00:54:40.960 and the

00:54:41.780 way he

00:54:42.040 talked about

00:54:42.480 those

00:54:42.720 MAGA

00:54:43.080 people,

00:54:44.460 to me,

00:54:45.180 it looked

00:54:45.360 like hate.

00:54:47.640 Why would

00:54:48.340 you ever

00:54:48.840 vote for

00:54:49.680 somebody who

00:54:50.140 hates a

00:54:50.600 big part

00:54:50.980 of the

00:54:51.180 country?

00:54:52.800 His own

00:54:53.240 citizens.

00:54:54.900 Hate.

00:54:55.160 So,

00:54:56.320 it was a

00:54:56.860 dark,

00:54:58.760 hatred-filled,

00:54:59.840 Dementia

00:55:00.440 Hitler kind

00:55:01.140 of a

00:55:01.380 presentation,

00:55:02.400 in which

00:55:03.000 he threatened

00:55:03.600 people like

00:55:04.160 me.

00:55:05.600 Yes,

00:55:06.360 I feel

00:55:07.020 that he

00:55:07.360 literally

00:55:07.840 threatened

00:55:08.960 me.

00:55:11.340 Threatened.

00:55:12.420 Because he

00:55:13.000 bragged about

00:55:13.540 putting the

00:55:13.960 January 6th

00:55:14.660 people in

00:55:15.120 jail,

00:55:16.160 and now

00:55:16.600 there's a

00:55:17.340 legal ruling

00:55:18.320 that you

00:55:19.300 could be

00:55:19.700 jailed

00:55:20.180 simply for

00:55:21.040 passively

00:55:21.820 being there.

00:55:24.460 There was

00:55:25.140 recently a

00:55:26.560 case in

00:55:27.520 which there

00:55:29.740 was a

00:55:30.080 guy named

00:55:30.540 Alford,

00:55:31.340 who was

00:55:31.700 part of

00:55:32.260 January 6th.

00:55:33.400 He didn't

00:55:33.760 do anything,

00:55:34.260 he was just

00:55:34.600 sort of

00:55:34.880 there.

00:55:36.020 And he

00:55:36.360 didn't do

00:55:37.540 anything violent

00:55:38.760 or destructive,

00:55:40.180 doesn't seem

00:55:40.800 to be that he

00:55:41.380 incited anybody

00:55:42.200 to do

00:55:42.580 anything,

00:55:42.980 he was just

00:55:43.360 there.

00:55:44.540 And the

00:55:44.920 court said,

00:55:45.720 D.C.,

00:55:46.220 of course,

00:55:47.900 nevertheless,

00:55:48.700 we affirm

00:55:50.060 his conviction

00:55:51.440 because a

00:55:52.820 jury could

00:55:53.420 rationally

00:55:54.060 find

00:55:54.640 that his

00:55:55.640 unauthorized

00:55:56.580 presence in

00:55:57.500 the Capitol

00:55:58.060 as part of

00:55:59.260 an unruly

00:55:59.900 mob

00:56:00.440 contributed to

00:56:01.800 the disruption

00:56:02.760 of the

00:56:03.480 Congress's

00:56:04.220 electoral

00:56:04.760 certification

00:56:05.740 and jeopardized

00:56:07.480 the public

00:56:08.180 safety.

00:56:11.140 That's a

00:56:12.160 real thing.

00:56:14.920 He's being

00:56:16.100 convicted,

00:56:16.780 his conviction

00:56:17.380 is being

00:56:17.720 upheld,

00:56:18.840 even though

00:56:20.600 they acknowledge

00:56:21.340 that his

00:56:22.260 only crime

00:56:23.060 was to

00:56:24.200 be in

00:56:24.680 an

00:56:24.880 unauthorized

00:56:25.580 place.

00:56:29.060 And that's

00:56:29.980 good enough

00:56:30.540 because his

00:56:31.500 participation

00:56:32.520 gave

00:56:34.660 cover or

00:56:36.460 support to

00:56:37.280 insurrectionists.

00:56:38.500 Do you know

00:56:38.840 who else's

00:56:39.500 activities give

00:56:40.900 cover and

00:56:41.580 support to

00:56:42.080 insurrectionists

00:56:43.020 according to

00:56:43.820 this standard?

00:56:45.400 Me.

00:56:46.340 Me.

00:56:47.920 Right.

00:56:48.200 Me.

00:56:49.520 So by

00:56:50.180 doing this

00:56:51.200 right now,

00:56:51.980 talking in

00:56:52.500 public,

00:56:53.000 in support

00:56:53.600 of the

00:56:54.000 protesters,

00:56:55.620 I am

00:56:56.280 part of

00:56:57.340 a larger

00:56:57.900 operation,

00:56:59.060 which you

00:56:59.800 could reasonably

00:57:00.560 assume,

00:57:01.380 according to

00:57:01.880 this legal

00:57:02.800 standard,

00:57:04.140 that somebody

00:57:04.640 like me

00:57:05.280 is guilty

00:57:06.080 of insurrection

00:57:07.420 or at least

00:57:09.220 guilty of

00:57:10.020 being part

00:57:11.880 of destabilizing

00:57:13.180 the government

00:57:13.800 through my

00:57:14.540 opinions.

00:57:15.100 Yeah.

00:57:18.180 Now,

00:57:19.600 obviously,

00:57:20.440 they have not

00:57:21.160 extended the

00:57:22.000 standard to

00:57:22.540 people like

00:57:23.000 me,

00:57:23.600 but I feel

00:57:24.680 it.

00:57:25.840 I feel

00:57:26.680 when

00:57:27.100 Dementia

00:57:28.480 Hitler

00:57:28.880 brags about

00:57:29.900 how many

00:57:30.260 people he

00:57:30.700 put in

00:57:31.020 jail for

00:57:31.440 January 6th,

00:57:32.900 he's telling

00:57:33.400 people like

00:57:33.920 me not to

00:57:34.480 complain in

00:57:36.380 the country

00:57:36.860 that's supposed

00:57:37.360 to have my

00:57:37.880 back on

00:57:38.340 free speech.

00:57:39.480 Because I

00:57:40.120 feel like I

00:57:41.120 become part of

00:57:41.860 the insurrectionists

00:57:42.820 just by saying

00:57:44.140 it's a hoax.

00:57:45.660 It's a hoax,

00:57:46.660 by the way.

00:57:48.460 January 6th

00:57:49.240 was a hoax.

00:57:52.540 Because

00:57:53.060 Republicans do

00:57:53.880 not do

00:57:54.260 insurrections

00:57:54.940 without guns.

00:57:58.180 Glenn

00:57:58.700 Greenwald

00:57:59.200 has dunked

00:58:00.080 on Joe

00:58:00.700 Biden.

00:58:01.060 He says,

00:58:02.140 Joe Biden

00:58:02.600 is so deeply

00:58:03.220 and passionately

00:58:03.760 devoted to

00:58:04.340 the urgency

00:58:04.860 of democracy

00:58:05.620 that he's

00:58:06.560 doing everything

00:58:07.020 possible to

00:58:07.740 imprison his

00:58:08.440 leading opponent,

00:58:09.880 criminalize his

00:58:10.780 movement,

00:58:11.480 the MAGA

00:58:11.800 people,

00:58:12.600 and,

00:58:13.260 as federal

00:58:13.780 courts found,

00:58:14.440 censor the

00:58:15.300 internet.

00:58:17.800 But his

00:58:18.480 anti-democratic

00:58:19.300 measures are

00:58:19.980 to save

00:58:20.360 democracy.

00:58:22.560 Thank you,

00:58:23.380 Glenn Greenwald.

00:58:25.280 See, this is

00:58:25.800 why you should

00:58:26.180 listen to

00:58:26.620 Glenn Greenwald.

00:58:28.220 When he

00:58:28.900 disagrees with

00:58:29.740 you,

00:58:30.920 you should

00:58:31.340 also listen

00:58:32.000 to him.

00:58:32.800 Because he's

00:58:33.600 capable of

00:58:35.500 disagreeing with

00:58:36.280 both sides.

00:58:36.960 that is an

00:58:39.060 important and

00:58:40.380 valuable asset

00:58:41.420 that there's

00:58:42.580 even anybody

00:58:43.480 who's willing

00:58:44.440 to criticize

00:58:45.020 both sides.

00:58:46.500 So when he

00:58:46.880 talks,

00:58:47.220 I listen.

00:58:48.540 He has

00:58:49.280 earned

00:58:49.760 my respect,

00:58:52.140 even though he

00:58:52.640 insulted me once

00:58:53.500 on X,

00:58:54.320 but I got over it

00:58:55.260 because he's

00:58:55.780 quite valuable.

00:58:57.300 Charlie Kirk

00:58:57.840 says that

00:58:58.620 Joe Biden

00:58:59.780 rags in his

00:59:00.540 J6

00:59:00.940 Doomer speech,

00:59:02.000 I like that

00:59:02.460 Doomer speech,

00:59:03.680 that his DOJ

00:59:04.440 has targeted

00:59:04.940 1,200 J6ers,

00:59:06.740 convicted 900,

00:59:08.620 and sentenced

00:59:09.280 them to 840

00:59:10.760 years of prison

00:59:11.680 collectively.

00:59:13.400 He wants his

00:59:14.360 political opponents

00:59:15.120 afraid this can

00:59:15.940 happen to them

00:59:16.680 too.

00:59:17.600 What a sick

00:59:18.080 man.

00:59:18.600 Well, it

00:59:18.840 worked,

00:59:19.920 because I am

00:59:20.460 his political

00:59:21.060 opponent,

00:59:22.060 and I'm

00:59:22.520 literally worried

00:59:23.440 about jail.

00:59:25.760 I'm not

00:59:26.520 kidding.

00:59:27.760 I'm literally

00:59:28.700 worried that I

00:59:30.420 could be jailed

00:59:31.380 on a

00:59:31.880 trumped-up

00:59:32.820 charge.

00:59:34.480 Is that

00:59:35.100 fair?

00:59:36.080 How many of

00:59:36.780 you think

00:59:37.120 that's a

00:59:37.500 reasonable

00:59:37.880 thing to

00:59:38.320 worry about

00:59:38.840 after listening

00:59:40.000 to Dementia

00:59:41.220 Hitler?

00:59:42.620 Is that

00:59:43.240 reasonable?

00:59:44.860 Am I

00:59:45.460 over-worrying?

00:59:48.080 We're not

00:59:48.760 there yet.

00:59:50.120 You know,

00:59:50.340 I don't live

00:59:50.900 in a world

00:59:51.440 where yet

00:59:52.740 I could be

00:59:54.800 picked up

00:59:55.340 in the

00:59:55.800 January.

00:59:57.720 But you

00:59:58.300 can see

00:59:58.620 it's moving

00:59:59.060 in that

00:59:59.340 direction.

01:00:00.320 You can

01:00:00.680 see he's

01:00:01.100 trying to

01:00:01.460 widen the

01:00:01.880 envelope to

01:00:02.840 make it

01:00:03.280 any MAGA

01:00:04.020 who support

01:00:04.640 it.

01:00:05.340 It's very

01:00:05.760 obvious.

01:00:07.580 Yeah,

01:00:07.900 I'm definitely

01:00:08.280 a target.

01:00:10.400 So Dementia

01:00:11.100 Hitler,

01:00:11.680 thank you

01:00:12.360 for walking

01:00:13.840 into the

01:00:14.280 narrow ravine

01:00:15.120 where everybody

01:00:16.280 can now see

01:00:17.060 that this is

01:00:17.980 just the third

01:00:18.760 hoax in a

01:00:19.360 row.

01:00:20.060 He runs all

01:00:20.660 of his

01:00:20.920 campaigns on

01:00:21.720 a big old

01:00:23.100 hoax.

01:00:24.340 And,

01:00:24.780 well,

01:00:25.800 and Hillary's

01:00:26.320 does it

01:00:26.760 did too.

01:00:30.760 All right.

01:00:35.780 I'm just

01:00:36.340 looking at

01:00:36.660 some of

01:00:36.900 your comments

01:00:37.360 from

01:00:37.600 me.

01:00:44.380 All right.

01:00:45.280 Stop

01:00:45.660 using the

01:00:46.160 word

01:00:46.320 diverse.

01:00:51.560 All right.

01:00:52.200 So I'm

01:00:55.220 calling the

01:00:55.820 three big

01:00:56.500 hoaxes,

01:00:57.520 the Russia

01:00:57.860 collusion

01:00:58.280 hoax,

01:00:58.620 the find

01:00:58.860 people hoax

01:00:59.340 on January

01:00:59.800 6th,

01:01:00.780 insurrection

01:01:01.260 hoax,

01:01:02.200 I'm calling

01:01:02.700 them the

01:01:03.300 three hoaxmen

01:01:05.160 of the

01:01:05.480 apocalypse.

01:01:05.860 Do you like

01:01:08.340 it?

01:01:09.020 The three

01:01:09.560 hoaxmen of

01:01:10.420 the apocalypse.

01:01:14.800 Yeah.

01:01:16.000 Give me a

01:01:16.460 man and I'll

01:01:16.940 show you the

01:01:17.340 crime.

01:01:17.740 Trump says

01:01:22.040 that Biden

01:01:22.480 is fear

01:01:22.940 mongering.

01:01:24.220 So he

01:01:24.480 reacted to

01:01:25.080 the speech

01:01:25.440 calling Biden's

01:01:27.100 remarks a

01:01:28.080 quote,

01:01:28.780 pathetic

01:01:29.220 fear mongering

01:01:30.060 campaign event.

01:01:32.520 And he

01:01:33.160 said that

01:01:33.520 Biden was

01:01:33.920 only attacking

01:01:34.520 him on

01:01:34.940 the issue

01:01:35.500 of democracy

01:01:36.160 because he

01:01:37.220 could not

01:01:37.640 run on

01:01:38.060 other issues.

01:01:39.460 That is

01:01:40.160 correct.

01:01:41.280 He's only

01:01:42.020 attacking him

01:01:42.740 on January

01:01:43.320 6th because

01:01:44.720 if they don't

01:01:45.680 run a hoax,

01:01:47.020 they don't

01:01:47.420 have enough

01:01:47.860 to get

01:01:48.160 elected.

01:01:49.720 It's all

01:01:50.520 about the

01:01:50.900 hoax.

01:01:52.040 Now,

01:01:52.360 here's the

01:01:53.180 scary part.

01:01:55.400 What is

01:01:56.320 the most

01:01:57.360 powerful form

01:01:58.620 of persuasion?

01:02:01.520 What's the

01:02:02.320 most powerful

01:02:03.100 form of

01:02:04.220 persuasion?

01:02:06.660 Fear.

01:02:08.020 There's

01:02:08.660 nothing above

01:02:09.260 fear.

01:02:10.200 If you can

01:02:10.700 make somebody

01:02:11.200 afraid,

01:02:12.320 you control

01:02:13.040 them because

01:02:14.300 they have to

01:02:14.860 do what they

01:02:15.480 have to do

01:02:15.920 to get rid

01:02:16.400 of their

01:02:16.600 fear.

01:02:17.420 Before they

01:02:17.920 even eat.

01:02:19.620 You could be

01:02:20.460 really,

01:02:20.920 really hungry,

01:02:21.940 but if a

01:02:22.840 bear appears

01:02:23.520 at your

01:02:23.840 campsite,

01:02:24.840 you're going

01:02:25.700 to run

01:02:26.040 first and

01:02:27.460 eat second.

01:02:28.980 So fear

01:02:30.160 beats

01:02:30.580 eating.

01:02:33.360 If you

01:02:34.100 wanted to

01:02:34.600 have some

01:02:35.440 sex,

01:02:36.260 but the

01:02:36.980 bear appears

01:02:37.900 at your

01:02:38.200 campground,

01:02:39.000 you will

01:02:39.500 immediately

01:02:40.060 cancel the

01:02:40.840 sex to

01:02:42.460 run away.

01:02:43.860 Fear just

01:02:45.240 beats everything.

01:02:45.840 Now,

01:02:46.880 I would

01:02:47.120 argue that

01:02:47.600 when Trump

01:02:48.160 ran the

01:02:48.620 first time,

01:02:49.780 he successfully

01:02:50.700 weaponized

01:02:51.420 fear about

01:02:52.640 the border

01:02:53.300 situation and

01:02:54.220 immigration.

01:02:55.920 Now,

01:02:56.300 you might

01:02:56.740 say he

01:02:57.400 shouldn't

01:02:57.640 have done

01:02:57.940 that.

01:02:58.600 I think

01:02:59.240 maybe he

01:02:59.620 overdid it.

01:03:00.780 But it

01:03:02.180 worked because

01:03:03.880 fear is a

01:03:05.820 good persuader.

01:03:06.900 Now,

01:03:07.400 what Biden's

01:03:08.500 doing is a

01:03:09.200 little different

01:03:09.760 because he's

01:03:11.520 using fear

01:03:12.260 persuasion,

01:03:13.000 except he's

01:03:14.360 telling half

01:03:15.120 of the

01:03:15.360 country that

01:03:15.960 they're the

01:03:16.400 target of

01:03:16.900 the fear,

01:03:18.260 like me.

01:03:20.420 So what

01:03:20.880 do I feel

01:03:22.320 being targeted

01:03:24.040 as, you

01:03:25.120 know, he

01:03:25.500 would say I'm

01:03:26.060 part of MAGA

01:03:26.620 even though I

01:03:27.300 never identify

01:03:28.380 with MAGA.

01:03:29.300 I've never

01:03:29.880 identified with

01:03:30.600 MAGA in case

01:03:31.260 anybody wonders.

01:03:32.200 I just don't

01:03:32.620 like the name

01:03:33.160 and I don't

01:03:34.100 like to be a

01:03:34.580 joiner.

01:03:35.460 I just like to

01:03:36.020 have my

01:03:36.320 opinions.

01:03:37.520 Like I don't

01:03:38.260 need to be in

01:03:38.720 a club.

01:03:40.180 Don't put me

01:03:40.880 in the club.

01:03:41.440 I just want

01:03:42.380 to have my

01:03:42.820 own opinions.

01:03:43.580 That's all

01:03:43.880 I want.

01:03:45.620 Well, so

01:03:47.300 Biden has

01:03:48.020 created fear

01:03:49.300 in the

01:03:50.840 Democrats

01:03:51.420 that Trump

01:03:53.560 and his

01:03:54.080 MAGA

01:03:54.540 army is a

01:03:56.480 bunch of

01:03:56.820 non-democratic

01:03:57.620 people who

01:03:58.420 want something

01:03:59.220 bad.

01:03:59.700 I don't

01:03:59.780 know.

01:04:00.660 But by

01:04:01.820 that framing,

01:04:03.120 instead of

01:04:03.940 doing what

01:04:04.360 Trump did,

01:04:05.360 and he said

01:04:05.840 there's somebody

01:04:06.340 outside the

01:04:07.080 country who's

01:04:07.740 at risk,

01:04:09.240 which could

01:04:09.920 in theory

01:04:10.740 unite the

01:04:11.300 country.

01:04:12.260 Wait,

01:04:12.780 there's

01:04:12.960 somebody

01:04:13.200 outside the

01:04:13.860 country,

01:04:14.820 the illegal

01:04:15.360 immigrants who

01:04:15.980 might bring

01:04:16.340 in too much

01:04:16.800 crime and

01:04:17.300 that's a

01:04:17.600 risk?

01:04:17.920 Oh, we

01:04:18.300 could bind

01:04:19.160 together for

01:04:19.620 that.

01:04:20.320 But because

01:04:20.800 Biden's

01:04:21.440 persuasion is

01:04:23.060 that the

01:04:23.640 MAGA people

01:04:24.280 are the

01:04:24.620 problem,

01:04:26.020 that makes

01:04:27.200 me afraid

01:04:28.060 that another

01:04:29.420 four years of

01:04:30.220 him could

01:04:30.700 end up with

01:04:32.080 me in jail.

01:04:33.700 So he's

01:04:34.500 activated my

01:04:35.360 highest level

01:04:36.180 of self

01:04:37.580 defense.

01:04:40.260 I'm in

01:04:40.980 actual

01:04:41.420 fighting for

01:04:43.300 my life

01:04:43.960 self-defense

01:04:45.800 mode because

01:04:47.160 of his

01:04:47.620 crazy dementia

01:04:48.580 fear-mongering

01:04:49.480 speech.

01:04:51.400 Now, it

01:04:52.140 could be the

01:04:53.020 greatest mistake

01:04:53.860 anybody ever

01:04:54.480 made in the

01:04:55.040 political realm

01:04:55.800 because you

01:04:58.120 don't want to

01:04:58.720 really make

01:04:59.220 people like

01:04:59.740 me fight

01:05:01.240 for my

01:05:01.660 life.

01:05:02.060 I'm already

01:05:03.740 doing enough

01:05:04.260 damage.

01:05:05.820 You don't

01:05:06.500 want to make

01:05:06.940 me think I'm

01:05:07.460 going to die

01:05:07.940 if I don't

01:05:08.400 do it better.

01:05:09.760 But here we

01:05:10.660 are.

01:05:12.040 So I can

01:05:13.240 promise you

01:05:13.780 this.

01:05:15.260 You're going

01:05:15.760 to see my

01:05:16.220 best because

01:05:18.360 I'm trying to

01:05:18.840 stay out of

01:05:19.280 fucking jail.

01:05:20.580 So I'm not

01:05:21.500 going to take

01:05:21.860 any prisoners.

01:05:24.360 This is it.

01:05:25.520 I'm literally

01:05:26.220 fighting for my

01:05:27.180 life and I'm

01:05:29.220 going to go

01:05:29.540 all in.

01:05:30.640 I'm going

01:05:31.200 all in.

01:05:32.900 Got nothing

01:05:33.680 to lose.

01:05:37.840 Vivek continues

01:05:38.960 to pick up

01:05:39.740 the free

01:05:40.100 money.

01:05:42.640 I saw this

01:05:43.540 in somebody

01:05:43.980 else's post

01:05:45.100 that I

01:05:46.640 copied his

01:05:47.260 words without

01:05:47.840 giving him

01:05:48.320 credit.

01:05:49.160 Sorry about

01:05:49.640 that.

01:05:50.820 But it's a

01:05:51.300 phrase I use

01:05:51.860 a lot also

01:05:52.420 picking up

01:05:52.960 the free

01:05:53.240 money.

01:05:54.720 And so

01:05:56.660 he says his

01:05:57.240 top goal is

01:05:58.040 to reunite

01:05:58.980 the country.

01:05:59.960 Now day

01:06:00.280 one he's

01:06:00.820 going to

01:06:02.060 pardon the

01:06:03.720 J6ers,

01:06:04.680 Julian

01:06:04.960 Nassant,

01:06:06.080 Douglas Mackey,

01:06:07.980 and Ross

01:06:08.460 Albright.

01:06:09.960 And I

01:06:10.520 won't wait

01:06:10.880 until the

01:06:11.220 last day

01:06:11.640 like presidents

01:06:12.260 usually do.

01:06:13.200 Wait a minute.

01:06:13.760 Ross Albright?

01:06:15.820 Why is he

01:06:16.420 going to

01:06:16.600 pardon him?

01:06:18.400 He wants

01:06:19.320 to pardon

01:06:19.760 the Silk

01:06:21.000 Road guy?

01:06:22.840 The guy

01:06:23.520 that brings

01:06:24.420 you fentanyl?

01:06:25.120 now,

01:06:28.120 remember I

01:06:29.180 told you I

01:06:29.580 wasn't going

01:06:29.920 to take

01:06:30.200 any prisoners?

01:06:33.940 Well,

01:06:34.780 I've

01:06:36.280 actually heard

01:06:36.740 from Ross

01:06:37.260 Albright's

01:06:37.800 mother because

01:06:40.060 I said he

01:06:40.660 should stay

01:06:41.060 in jail and

01:06:42.540 she thinks

01:06:43.020 I'm persuasive.

01:06:44.460 So his

01:06:45.160 mother basically

01:06:46.860 begged me

01:06:47.620 not to keep

01:06:49.560 dumping on

01:06:50.100 Ross Albright

01:06:50.820 and say he

01:06:51.340 should stay

01:06:51.700 in jail.

01:06:58.740 Sorry,

01:06:59.300 mom.

01:07:00.400 I think

01:07:00.960 he should

01:07:01.220 stay in

01:07:01.600 jail.

01:07:03.360 Now,

01:07:03.620 I think

01:07:03.820 any other

01:07:04.120 people should

01:07:04.600 get pardoned

01:07:05.180 but I

01:07:05.580 would oppose

01:07:06.020 his pardon

01:07:06.940 because I'm

01:07:08.820 anti-fentanyl.

01:07:10.900 Now,

01:07:11.140 you might say

01:07:11.560 to me,

01:07:11.940 but Scott,

01:07:12.960 all he did

01:07:13.880 is create

01:07:14.440 a tool.

01:07:15.720 What people

01:07:16.220 do with

01:07:16.620 the tool

01:07:16.980 should certainly

01:07:18.180 not be his

01:07:18.760 problem.

01:07:19.580 No,

01:07:19.940 that's a

01:07:20.300 stupid argument.

01:07:21.700 The Silk

01:07:22.660 Road was

01:07:23.100 made for

01:07:23.780 crime.

01:07:24.820 It was

01:07:25.440 made for

01:07:26.040 crime.

01:07:27.700 That's why

01:07:28.100 it exists.

01:07:30.440 No.

01:07:32.020 Yeah.

01:07:32.660 How many

01:07:33.020 people have

01:07:33.500 died because

01:07:34.340 the Silk

01:07:34.820 Road exists?

01:07:36.380 What do

01:07:36.980 you think?

01:07:37.640 How many

01:07:38.080 innocent

01:07:38.520 people,

01:07:40.120 innocent-ish,

01:07:41.060 I guess,

01:07:41.580 how many

01:07:42.140 people died

01:07:42.920 because the

01:07:44.120 Silk Road

01:07:44.580 exists?

01:07:46.820 Tell me

01:07:47.500 that and

01:07:47.920 then I'll

01:07:48.160 tell you

01:07:48.700 whether I

01:07:49.420 think he

01:07:49.700 should be

01:07:50.040 pardoned.

01:07:50.840 If the

01:07:51.140 answer is

01:07:51.540 none,

01:07:53.020 if the

01:07:53.380 answer is

01:07:53.800 none,

01:07:54.740 or some

01:07:56.860 trivial number

01:07:57.620 that was

01:07:58.100 a weird

01:07:58.440 thing,

01:07:59.440 I'd say,

01:08:00.320 all right,

01:08:01.360 I'll give

01:08:01.860 him a

01:08:02.160 pardon.

01:08:03.040 But the

01:08:03.580 answer is

01:08:03.960 not none,

01:08:04.800 is it?

01:08:05.620 Can't you

01:08:06.060 buy guns

01:08:06.720 over the

01:08:07.120 Silk Road?

01:08:08.420 Am I

01:08:09.000 wrong?

01:08:09.700 Can you

01:08:10.000 buy a

01:08:10.420 gun over

01:08:11.540 the Silk

01:08:11.980 Road?

01:08:15.260 So a

01:08:15.920 number of

01:08:16.280 you are

01:08:16.520 saying zero.

01:08:17.140 people died

01:08:20.220 because Silk

01:08:21.560 Road exists?

01:08:25.860 There's a

01:08:26.440 lot of

01:08:26.640 people who

01:08:26.920 think that.

01:08:27.480 How about

01:08:27.940 on this

01:08:28.280 platform?

01:08:29.100 How many

01:08:29.460 of you

01:08:29.700 think the

01:08:30.140 number of

01:08:30.480 people who

01:08:30.800 were killed

01:08:31.260 by the Silk

01:08:32.020 Road existing

01:08:32.920 was zero?

01:08:34.860 Now, isn't

01:08:44.260 the Silk

01:08:44.700 Road how

01:08:45.380 people get

01:08:46.060 fentanyl and

01:08:47.180 how they

01:08:47.580 get weapons

01:08:49.660 that criminals

01:08:50.620 can't get

01:08:51.540 legally?

01:09:01.860 All right.

01:09:02.700 you know

01:09:04.680 what I

01:09:04.940 love?

01:09:05.800 I love

01:09:06.180 the fact

01:09:06.680 that people

01:09:07.920 are so

01:09:08.340 addicted to

01:09:08.980 my morning

01:09:09.720 live stream

01:09:10.300 that if I

01:09:11.460 go over an

01:09:12.000 hour they

01:09:12.400 get mad

01:09:12.900 because they

01:09:14.760 feel they

01:09:15.160 can't quit.

01:09:17.120 You can

01:09:17.960 stop watching

01:09:18.680 after an

01:09:20.180 hour if you

01:09:20.720 want.

01:09:21.000 You can

01:09:21.200 just stop

01:09:21.600 watching.

01:09:23.400 No, you

01:09:23.780 can do it.

01:09:24.780 I know you

01:09:26.340 all like to

01:09:26.880 complete your

01:09:27.580 mission, but

01:09:28.900 it's okay

01:09:30.200 with me.

01:09:30.600 you can

01:09:33.940 murder

01:09:34.240 somebody and

01:09:34.800 get less

01:09:35.180 time than

01:09:35.940 you can

01:09:36.440 get for

01:09:36.880 the Silk

01:09:37.740 Road.

01:09:38.180 That makes

01:09:38.780 sense to

01:09:39.180 me.

01:09:40.880 I think

01:09:41.540 you should

01:09:41.840 get more

01:09:42.200 time for

01:09:42.680 making the

01:09:43.200 Silk Road

01:09:43.740 than you

01:09:44.480 should for

01:09:44.840 murder.

01:09:46.220 If you

01:09:46.820 killed one

01:09:47.260 person,

01:09:48.120 that's just

01:09:48.920 one murder.

01:09:51.980 Well, that's

01:09:52.620 my opinion.

01:09:53.860 Anyway,

01:09:57.900 Nikki Haley,

01:09:59.240 who is,

01:09:59.700 according to

01:10:00.440 the Hill,

01:10:00.840 this is their

01:10:01.340 headline,

01:10:02.320 Nikki Haley

01:10:02.880 dogged by

01:10:03.600 civil war

01:10:04.220 controversy,

01:10:05.400 and they

01:10:05.740 quote her

01:10:06.380 in the

01:10:06.840 headline,

01:10:07.780 I had

01:10:08.080 black friends

01:10:08.700 growing up.

01:10:12.040 I had

01:10:12.700 black friends

01:10:13.380 growing up.

01:10:14.480 Now, how

01:10:14.920 did she not

01:10:15.580 know that

01:10:17.680 that would

01:10:18.080 be quoted

01:10:19.040 exactly the

01:10:19.860 way it was

01:10:20.260 quoted?

01:10:21.820 She didn't

01:10:22.220 see that

01:10:22.540 coming?

01:10:23.840 The old,

01:10:24.680 I have a

01:10:25.060 black friend

01:10:25.600 so I can't

01:10:26.140 be a racist

01:10:26.580 thing?

01:10:27.000 She didn't

01:10:27.360 see that

01:10:27.700 coming at

01:10:28.100 all.

01:10:29.340 Did not

01:10:29.820 see that

01:10:30.240 coming?

01:10:32.080 All right.

01:10:34.060 Here's what

01:10:34.620 I like.

01:10:35.360 I would

01:10:35.760 like that

01:10:36.320 the United

01:10:36.740 States

01:10:37.080 could have

01:10:37.560 a president

01:10:38.120 that is

01:10:39.340 the smartest

01:10:39.820 person at

01:10:40.420 the G20.

01:10:42.140 Do you

01:10:42.760 think that

01:10:43.980 Nikki Haley,

01:10:45.220 who had a

01:10:45.900 black friend

01:10:46.500 when she

01:10:46.940 grew up,

01:10:47.760 black friends,

01:10:48.980 do you think

01:10:49.500 she would feel

01:10:50.180 like the

01:10:50.560 smartest candidate

01:10:51.440 at the G20?

01:10:53.760 No.

01:10:54.160 I would

01:10:54.720 like a

01:10:55.060 candidate

01:10:55.360 who would

01:10:55.800 be smart

01:10:56.260 enough not

01:10:56.920 to say

01:10:57.420 I had

01:10:59.100 black friends

01:10:59.740 when I

01:11:00.380 grew up.

01:11:02.600 Vivek would

01:11:03.720 not say

01:11:04.140 that,

01:11:04.960 would he?

01:11:05.840 Do you

01:11:06.300 think Vivek

01:11:06.940 would ever

01:11:07.300 say in

01:11:07.660 public,

01:11:08.480 oh,

01:11:08.800 don't call

01:11:09.320 me a

01:11:09.600 racist,

01:11:10.060 I had

01:11:10.300 black

01:11:10.520 friends?

01:11:11.840 No.

01:11:12.900 Did he

01:11:13.280 have black

01:11:13.760 friends?

01:11:14.200 I don't

01:11:14.460 know.

01:11:15.500 Who

01:11:15.720 knows?

01:11:16.780 But it

01:11:17.420 doesn't matter.

01:11:18.200 You don't

01:11:18.560 answer the

01:11:19.020 question that

01:11:19.540 way.

01:11:20.240 That's just

01:11:20.780 dumb.

01:11:21.920 It's just

01:11:22.360 dumb.

01:11:23.880 So,

01:11:24.880 I'll tell

01:11:26.240 you the

01:11:26.440 thing I

01:11:26.720 like best

01:11:27.320 about this

01:11:27.920 particular

01:11:29.460 election.

01:11:32.460 This is

01:11:33.220 the first

01:11:33.660 election

01:11:34.120 where I

01:11:35.500 didn't have

01:11:35.880 any doubt

01:11:36.660 that the

01:11:37.800 candidate I

01:11:38.520 endorsed is

01:11:39.800 the smartest

01:11:40.280 one running.

01:11:42.360 That feels

01:11:43.120 good.

01:11:44.020 You should

01:11:44.520 try it.

01:11:45.280 If you're

01:11:45.840 not endorsing

01:11:46.720 Vivek,

01:11:47.920 you should

01:11:48.340 try seeing

01:11:49.020 how it

01:11:49.400 feels to

01:11:50.680 know for

01:11:51.120 sure that

01:11:52.600 you endorsed

01:11:53.020 the smartest

01:11:53.600 candidate.

01:11:55.340 It feels

01:11:56.100 really good.

01:11:57.480 It feels

01:11:57.800 really good.

01:11:58.740 Now, I

01:11:59.060 think Trump,

01:11:59.920 like I

01:12:00.220 say, don't

01:12:00.900 compare

01:12:01.560 Trump to

01:12:02.980 anybody on

01:12:04.460 any dimension.

01:12:05.800 He's just

01:12:06.620 his own

01:12:07.000 thing, and

01:12:07.880 there's nothing

01:12:08.300 like it, and

01:12:09.420 he is what

01:12:10.340 he is because

01:12:11.000 of the

01:12:11.440 completeness

01:12:13.660 of him.

01:12:14.920 So, you

01:12:15.600 wouldn't take

01:12:16.040 one quality

01:12:16.820 from someone

01:12:17.440 else and

01:12:18.440 say, oh,

01:12:19.300 is this

01:12:19.660 better or

01:12:20.120 worse than

01:12:20.520 Trump's

01:12:20.940 one quality

01:12:21.780 that's the

01:12:22.360 same?

01:12:23.080 No, because

01:12:23.940 Trump is

01:12:24.360 what he

01:12:24.680 is because

01:12:25.240 of the

01:12:25.480 combination

01:12:25.840 of things

01:12:26.460 that nobody

01:12:26.860 has.

01:12:28.580 So, comparing

01:12:29.700 by a

01:12:30.300 quality is a

01:12:31.300 dumb thing

01:12:31.720 in his

01:12:32.000 case.

01:12:32.600 But, I

01:12:33.480 really like

01:12:33.960 having the

01:12:34.360 smartest

01:12:34.660 candidate,

01:12:36.120 backing the

01:12:36.660 smartest

01:12:36.920 candidate.

01:12:37.780 That's all

01:12:38.240 I got for

01:12:38.600 you,

01:12:39.880 YouTubers

01:12:40.540 and

01:12:41.160 rumblers

01:12:42.000 and on

01:12:43.120 X.

01:12:44.320 And,

01:12:44.680 thanks for

01:12:45.240 joining.

01:12:45.880 I'm going to

01:12:46.240 say something

01:12:46.780 to the

01:12:47.460 locals

01:12:48.120 people

01:12:48.400 after we

01:12:48.800 go.

01:12:53.960 All right,

01:12:54.580 a lot of

01:12:54.880 funny comments

01:12:55.460 here.

01:12:55.980 Bye for

01:12:56.300 now.

01:12:56.920 Thanks for

01:12:57.300 joining.

01:12:57.540 Bye.
