Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2350 CWSA 01⧸11⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization.

00:00:10.400 I'm trying out a new microphone for the platforms, not counting locals, which is on its own system, 0.52

00:00:17.600 and I have no idea if you can hear me. So if somebody on YouTube or Rumble or X could tell

00:00:26.840 me in the comments, do you hear me now? And, of course, comment. Oh, well, I can. Okay.

00:00:35.080 Good news. Good news. Audio is good. Well, if you'd like to take this experience up to levels

00:00:44.240 that nobody can ever understand, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or Charles

00:00:49.600 of Stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:55.160 I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hitter, the thing that

00:01:01.640 makes everything better. It's called the Simultaneous Sip. It happens now. Go.

00:01:12.160 Ah. Yeah, that was as good as I hoped it would be. Well, let's talk about the news. Have I told you

00:01:24.200 lately that the news is all just funny and absurd and ridiculous? I don't think I've been mad about

00:01:29.600 the news in a while. And it's not because the news is any better. It's just it's gone so far. It's just

00:01:37.520 ridiculous. And so I end up just being entertained by it until we all die, of course. But here's what's

00:01:44.300 happening. Have I ever told you that it's weird how often I end up in the middle of a national story?

00:01:53.580 It's really weird. The number of times there'll be some story, the headline, I'll be, oh, there's a

00:01:58.980 story and here are the details. Okay, the story's about me. It's the damnedest thing.

00:02:05.480 So here's what's happening again. So it turns out there's a big lawsuit by a bunch of artists,

00:02:13.000 class action copyright suit against the big AI companies that do visual stuff. So Stability

00:02:21.260 AI, Mid Journey, and DeviantArt. And apparently on behalf of 16,000 artists,

00:02:28.200 they're suing because the AI companies looked at all the art by these many artists. And they'll use

00:02:38.160 that art to train itself to reproduce art that could either look in the style of or I guess even

00:02:44.700 identical if they wanted to all these many artists. And I read the story and it highlights me as one of

00:02:52.040 the artists that they copied. So apparently the entire archive of Dilbert comics may have been scooped

00:03:02.400 up by AI, which means that it will forever be part of the AI mind. Now, how interesting is that?

00:03:12.480 I always wish that I'd left something of my human intellect on the internet so that when AI became

00:03:22.020 alive, which it did this year, it could scoop up some of it and I would be part of the brain.

00:03:29.380 So part of the mind of AI is literally me. So if you use these images, they're at least a little bit

00:03:38.040 informed by my work. Now, I don't know how much, because I haven't seen anything by any of them that

00:03:45.020 looks too Dilbert-y. But when you ask it to do a comic, it does have a strange Dilbert-y feel to it.

00:03:51.300 And I hadn't noticed that, but I didn't know it was because they literally trained it on my work.

00:03:58.020 I'm not sure I mind. I guess I'm part of the class action, or maybe I'd have to sign up to be part of

00:04:05.560 it or something. But I can't say it's bothered me. I can't really say it's bothered me. I guess I should

00:04:13.460 be bothered. But I don't feel like it can do my job. If AI could do my job, maybe I'd try harder to

00:04:20.880 protect it. But I really can't. It's nowhere in the neighborhood of being able to do what I do.

00:04:26.200 But maybe someday. Maybe someday.

00:04:28.360 Okay. So here's a story about a guy who murdered his wife. And they caught him pretty quickly, or at

00:04:37.280 least they allege that they caught him. And it turns out that he was researching a specific kind

00:04:43.820 of poison. He was a doctor, Minnesota doctor. And the wife was poisoned with the exact poison that he

00:04:50.720 was researching at the time. And the crack investigator said, huh, he's investigating this

00:04:58.180 kind of poison. And his wife died of that kind of poison. Maybe it's him. Now, I think you can all

00:05:06.820 say that that was a rookie murder mistake. How many times do I have to tell you? If you want to murder

00:05:14.260 your spouse, and you're a poison expert, you don't poison your spouse, that's going to lead them right 0.99

00:05:21.460 to you. No, you find somebody who's researching explosives, and also wants to kill their spouse.

00:05:30.520 And then you make a deal. You poison their spouse, they blow up your spouse. No way the police can

00:05:37.760 connect it. Hat tip, Alfred Hitchcock. Yeah, he did it first in the movie.

00:05:44.260 But it's still a good idea. So don't poison your wife if you're a poison expert.

00:05:50.520 Well, here's a little technological breakthrough that could be a gigantic thing. Or you'll never

00:05:56.860 hear from it again. Have you noticed that a lot of the science breakthroughs have that quality?

00:06:02.920 This will change everything. Or possibly you'll never hear about it again. You know how many times

00:06:10.080 I've heard that cancer is almost cured? Probably about 700 times since I was in my 20s. So far,

00:06:18.400 not so much. Although they are doing good. They're doing well. All right. But Japan has a solar

00:06:25.660 breakthrough. They've figured out a new technology for making a solar device. It's not a panel exactly,

00:06:32.880 because it's a thin, foldable, almost a material. So apparently you could buy a few yards of this

00:06:41.360 solar panel material. You could just sit it on the, they give the example, you could just lay it out on

00:06:48.520 your deck, and it'll start making electricity for you. Now, this has been a technology that was around,

00:06:54.800 but they just figured out how to make it as efficient as the current panels, you know, in the

00:07:00.360 20-some percent efficiency, which is pretty good. And maybe it will, the big, but the big story here

00:07:07.560 is not that it's new technology. That's the boring part. The interesting part is that China completely 0.98

00:07:15.020 dominates the solar panel industry. And for what reasons, I'm not exactly sure. Other countries are just

00:07:23.360 not set up to manufacture it the way they do. But I guess Japan would be perfectly situated to make these 0.97

00:07:30.080 thin, competitive solar panels. This is the sort of thing that can change everything from what you think

00:07:38.040 about competition with China, to climate change, to inflation. It's one invention that touches everything,

00:07:47.640 you know, from trade, you know, climate, basically everything. And, you know, but it could be nothing.

00:07:55.800 We'll see. Or it could be everything.

00:07:59.880 So here's something I didn't know, or maybe I knew it and forgot. Did you know that Politico

00:08:05.460 and Business Insider are owned by the same company? How many of you knew that? Politico and Business Insider

00:08:14.040 are owned by the same company? Some of you knew that. Yeah. Now, did you know that the company that

00:08:19.720 owns both of them is a German company that owns other media in Europe? Yeah. So when you're reading

00:08:28.700 Politico or Business Insider, you're reading articles by people who have a German media boss.

00:08:36.580 Don't you think you should know that? Doesn't that feel like really important? If you're going to read

00:08:44.680 any article in there and know what the boss might be thinking based on who it is.

00:08:52.460 But here's what I recommend. I think that if you're a media company that sort of looks like it could be

00:08:59.920 an American company if you weren't paying attention, it should be labeled as a foreign propaganda.

00:09:08.240 Because there's no such thing as media that's not propaganda.

00:09:12.640 But at least when it comes from inside our house, we're a little bit more alerted to it, right?

00:09:19.540 Like if you see the New York Times, you know it leans left. If you see Fox News, you know it leans right.

00:09:25.060 But you know it's an American flavor of left, an American flavor of right.

00:09:32.360 And that's, you know, not perfect. But at least it's inside the house. It's in the family.

00:09:38.040 But if a German company is, and I'm not saying that they are, but if they're intentionally trying to

00:09:44.020 change our minds in this country, I feel like that needs to be labeled.

00:09:49.040 I mean, we've been labeling manufactured goods forever, right? I assume it's a law.

00:09:56.300 Is it a law that if you have a physical product and it's made in China, it has to say made in China?

00:10:02.280 It's a law, right? So why don't we do that with media?

00:10:07.180 If the article is written by a German company, even though an American wrote it,

00:10:13.140 I feel like we should know that. So consider that a possible law.

00:10:19.040 All right.

00:10:22.200 I saw another statistic that said that gender dysphoria diagnoses are rising nationwide.

00:10:29.600 Axios has this story.

00:10:34.180 Wait, who owns Axios?

00:10:38.400 Who owns Axios?

00:10:40.720 Is that the same company?

00:10:46.460 Cox, you say, owns Axios? Okay.

00:10:49.040 But anyway, California is up over 100%.

00:10:55.000 I think Virginia is up over 200%, etc.

00:10:59.500 Now, do you think it's fair to say that the gender dysphoria thing

00:11:05.140 is a massive mental health problem exacerbated by essentially media manipulation?

00:11:13.180 That's a fair statement, right?

00:11:17.640 Yeah.

00:11:18.640 I feel like that's just something you can say as just a fact.

00:11:22.060 Now, I love the fact that Vivek just says it directly, that the gender dysphoria stuff

00:11:28.700 is a mental health problem that we're treating like it's a physical problem.

00:11:32.620 That may be a little bit too universal for my taste because there's probably some gray area of people

00:11:41.080 who have an actual genetic, physical issue that it would be fair if they can address it

00:11:48.340 without us giving them a hard time.

00:11:50.220 But I think most of it is mental health.

00:11:53.500 Most of it is probably mental health.

00:11:55.860 So, at least we can say it, even if it's not stopping it that we say it.

00:11:59.980 Well, so I've got a kind of a theme today for the rest of the show.

00:12:06.800 And the theme is, what if everything is exactly the way it looks?

00:12:14.620 The scariest thing that you can imagine is that everything you suspect is true

00:12:20.640 because it looks like it is actually true.

00:12:24.360 And we'll get lots of examples of that as we go.

00:12:27.420 Here's one.

00:12:27.860 So, Fannie Willis, who is the Fulton, I have trouble keeping all the Trump legal issues straight.

00:12:39.840 She would be the Georgia, the Georgia prosecutor, right?

00:12:45.380 Secretly colluded with the January 6th committee.

00:12:50.020 So, that would suggest, although that would not be confirmed, but that would suggest

00:12:56.820 that there is some kind of collusion from a central Democrat source

00:13:02.860 that's making sure the individual states are being aggressive and going after Trump.

00:13:09.540 So, I don't know if that's illegal.

00:13:12.260 I mean, it seems kind of RICO-like to me, but I don't know if it's technically illegal.

00:13:16.500 But it does fit the category of, what if everything is exactly the way it looks?

00:13:25.640 Because all the charges against Trump, even though they're coming from states,

00:13:31.660 it looks exactly like it's only political.

00:13:35.740 As though, I'm not saying that he didn't make any mistakes or do anything that's not technically illegal.

00:13:42.360 Well, maybe, but I think that would be true of almost every human being.

00:13:46.980 You could bring in anybody, examine every part of their life,

00:13:51.100 and you could make some argument about some crime they committed.

00:13:54.480 So, I think that's what's happening.

00:13:56.880 But my working assumption is that it's exactly what it looks like,

00:14:02.700 that the Democrats are coordinating lawfare with people who probably want to raise,

00:14:10.180 you know, rise in the Democrat world.

00:14:12.520 And so, they're just doing their bidding.

00:14:15.180 It looks like it's exactly what it looks like.

00:14:19.060 That's what I think.

00:14:21.640 Well, there's news from Chicago.

00:14:23.780 I guess Chicago bought a whole bunch of free laptops and free iPads

00:14:28.840 and other devices for the kids who couldn't afford it.

00:14:32.180 And let's see how that worked out.

00:14:34.520 Let's see, free iPads, free laptops.

00:14:36.360 That seems like a good idea, doesn't it?

00:14:38.500 The poor people, they can't afford it.

00:14:40.680 And you need those things in a modern world.

00:14:42.920 So, Chicago, quite reasonably, decided they should give free ones

00:14:47.420 to people who couldn't afford them.

00:14:49.640 And let's see, now we know how that worked out.

00:14:51.720 $23 million worth of devices, that is 77,000 devices,

00:14:59.880 went missing in one school year.

00:15:03.480 77,000 devices went missing in one school year.

00:15:13.320 Okay.

00:15:14.000 Okay.

00:15:14.080 Maybe the situation in Chicago is exactly what you think.

00:15:24.460 Maybe everything is.

00:15:26.140 Maybe everything's exactly what it looks like.

00:15:31.380 Whoopie.

00:15:33.600 Well, damn it, I just ruined my own joke.

00:15:38.680 Forget for a moment that you just heard the word whoopie.

00:15:44.080 This will have nothing to do with the following joke.

00:15:48.800 They're completely disconnected.

00:15:51.520 Forget.

00:15:52.700 Forget you heard the word whoopie.

00:15:55.000 We're now going back in time.

00:15:57.320 Half a minute.

00:16:00.240 So, there's a TV show now.

00:16:03.160 It's doing really well.

00:16:05.240 And it's basically people with mental health issues

00:16:08.520 talking about the news.

00:16:10.860 It's called, what's it called?

00:16:14.580 It's called The View.

00:16:16.420 It's called The View.

00:16:17.980 It features people with serious mental health issues

00:16:20.460 trying to understand the news and failing.

00:16:25.500 One of the characters on this show is called Whoopie.

00:16:28.840 Whoopie Goldberg.

00:16:29.700 And she was pleading with Liz Cheney to run a third-party race 1.00

00:16:35.360 to make sure Trump didn't win

00:16:37.340 because she said about Trump that, quote,

00:16:41.040 if he ever gets in again, we'll never have any more elections.

00:16:45.620 There will be no more.

00:16:47.420 He will stop it.

00:16:48.640 And he's very clear about that.

00:16:50.460 He wants to be dictator for life.

00:16:52.160 Now, imagine that there's a television show

00:16:58.000 about fucking idiots with serious mental health

00:17:02.120 and you're the diversity hire.

00:17:09.180 All right, moving on.

00:17:12.000 Sometimes things are exactly how they look.

00:17:16.540 Exactly.

00:17:17.140 Well, Hunter, this is weird.

00:17:22.220 Hunter decided to crash or show up uninvited

00:17:25.360 to the Congress's contempt hearing about Hunter.

00:17:30.260 So he was being held in contempt

00:17:32.480 for refusing to talk to the committee.

00:17:35.540 But when the committee was having a hearing

00:17:37.640 about whether they should find him in contempt,

00:17:41.300 he showed up for it.

00:17:42.420 So this is the second time he showed up

00:17:46.340 when he wasn't supposed to show up

00:17:48.480 just to make a point that it's not about the showing up.

00:17:53.080 It's about, you know, the process.

00:17:55.400 He wants to do it in public.

00:17:58.480 Now, I've heard the argument that says,

00:18:01.400 no, no, no, that's not the way you do it.

00:18:04.000 First, you get grilled in private.

00:18:06.880 And then later, you know, that would be the standard.

00:18:09.340 Later, you might be asked in public.

00:18:10.940 But by then, you know, there's a good basis

00:18:13.320 for your understanding of things.

00:18:16.120 Now, Hunter says, I don't want to do this in private

00:18:19.240 because you'll take me out of context

00:18:20.680 and lie about what I said.

00:18:22.600 Is he right?

00:18:24.460 Is Hunter correct that if he does anything

00:18:28.560 beyond closed doors,

00:18:30.400 he will be taken out of context

00:18:32.080 and that would be bad for him?

00:18:33.580 Of course he's right.

00:18:34.920 Of course he's right.

00:18:36.540 Yeah.

00:18:37.240 Yeah, I'm not going to say he's wrong

00:18:39.200 because it's Republicans.

00:18:41.720 This is how the whole thing played.

00:18:43.800 Anybody who says something behind closed doors

00:18:45.980 and there's no transcript,

00:18:48.260 at least until there's a transcript,

00:18:50.420 yeah, there's a high chance

00:18:52.600 that people will exaggerate what he said

00:18:56.240 or take it out of context.

00:18:57.820 Yeah.

00:18:58.320 You know, if he could avoid it,

00:18:59.660 he'd be stupid to do anything behind closed doors.

00:19:02.260 Now, I kind of like his approach,

00:19:08.840 you know, just from a strategy perspective.

00:19:11.540 It does make sense that he keeps showing his face

00:19:14.800 so there's no doubt about whether he wants to participate.

00:19:19.220 So he's making the case very clearly.

00:19:22.340 Yes, I'll participate in this.

00:19:23.980 I'm totally a volunteer.

00:19:25.840 Let's just make sure that the public sees everything.

00:19:29.000 So he's in favor of participating in transparency

00:19:32.200 and he's forced the Republicans

00:19:34.420 to make an argument against transparency.

00:19:37.680 I think Hunter's winning.

00:19:40.960 I'm not sure what you see when you watch that.

00:19:45.820 I saw a lot of people saying,

00:19:47.080 it's awkward, you know,

00:19:49.800 he stormed down so it makes him look bad

00:19:53.040 and what was his strategy

00:19:54.700 and what was he thinking and all that.

00:19:57.300 And I watched the whole thing and I thought,

00:19:59.700 well, I think I know what he's thinking.

00:20:02.800 He's saying this process is bullshit

00:20:04.740 and he wants it to be transparent.

00:20:07.180 And that's always what I want.

00:20:11.600 So I hate to be the one

00:20:13.480 who's continuously defending Hunter Biden,

00:20:17.760 but I'd like to remind you once more,

00:20:21.300 he's a private citizen.

00:20:23.340 He's innocent until proven guilty.

00:20:26.180 And that standard just has to stay.

00:20:29.280 So I like how he's playing it.

00:20:31.660 I know the experts are saying it's a mistake,

00:20:34.220 but I feel we all understand now

00:20:36.920 that he wanted transparency

00:20:38.900 and the people who want to take him down did not.

00:20:42.580 Now, there's no argument

00:20:43.740 that they're going to make

00:20:45.720 that will convince me he's not right about that.

00:20:48.260 I don't care about the precedent.

00:20:50.360 I don't care about the reasons.

00:20:52.440 It's better preparation.

00:20:54.240 Don't care.

00:20:55.380 He made his point and he won.

00:20:57.200 He made his point and he won.

00:20:58.920 I'm never going to argue against transparency

00:21:01.780 unless it's like, you know,

00:21:03.000 a nuclear secret or something.

00:21:05.620 Yeah, national security, yes.

00:21:06.920 All right.

00:21:09.360 So I think he did well there.

00:21:10.900 So let's see.

00:21:12.500 Another Trump case.

00:21:14.000 I guess Trump's back in court

00:21:15.260 for his New York inflated assets,

00:21:20.160 taxes kind of a case.

00:21:22.680 And if things go against him,

00:21:25.320 now the judge has already ruled

00:21:27.080 that he did the deed,

00:21:29.600 that he inflated his assets.

00:21:31.940 So the ruling on fact is already against him.

00:21:34.700 And now they're going to decide

00:21:35.920 what the penalty is.

00:21:38.020 Now, if you're trying to keep straight

00:21:39.540 all of these different legal cases against Trump,

00:21:43.440 this is the one with the judge

00:21:45.260 who is Dobie,

00:21:47.200 the narcissistic house elf.

00:21:49.240 That's how I try to remember them

00:21:52.020 by what fictional characters

00:21:55.060 of ridiculousness they remind me of.

00:21:58.100 So yeah, this one's the Dobie, 0.99

00:21:59.800 the house elf,

00:22:00.720 the narcissistic house elf.

00:22:03.780 But the elf will decide

00:22:05.420 if Trump's going to have to pay

00:22:06.680 $370 million

00:22:07.720 and, worst of all,

00:22:09.780 lose his licenses

00:22:10.940 to operate in New York,

00:22:12.620 which is so outrageous

00:22:15.420 for Trump of all people,

00:22:19.520 you know,

00:22:19.660 somebody whose name was

00:22:20.800 essentially paired with New York

00:22:24.020 for decades,

00:22:25.520 that he would lose his license

00:22:26.920 to operate in New York

00:22:28.080 over some political bullshit

00:22:30.040 that is literally a victimless crime.

00:22:33.420 There's no victim.

00:22:35.360 There's nobody who says

00:22:36.600 they lost money.

00:22:37.280 Nobody lost money.

00:22:41.340 You know,

00:22:41.500 they're saying that

00:22:42.120 taxes were not paid.

00:22:45.180 Let me explain that.

00:22:46.780 So the argument is

00:22:48.220 that the government lost out

00:22:49.660 because if he had,

00:22:53.000 because he saved a bunch of money,

00:22:57.640 wait, that doesn't make sense.

00:23:00.400 If Trump,

00:23:01.320 if Trump paid less to his bank,

00:23:04.780 that means Trump

00:23:06.440 would have paid higher taxes.

00:23:09.560 But the bank itself

00:23:11.000 would have paid lower taxes

00:23:14.600 because they didn't make as much

00:23:16.180 as the government thinks

00:23:18.680 the bank should have made.

00:23:19.940 But the bank was happy.

00:23:20.980 God, it's such bullshit.

00:23:24.900 It, you know,

00:23:25.760 it's all complicated

00:23:27.200 and, you know,

00:23:28.580 it's a confusedopoly,

00:23:30.180 so you're not going to figure out

00:23:31.240 what's going on,

00:23:31.940 who's doing what to.

00:23:33.220 The only thing you remember is

00:23:34.800 91 indictments,

00:23:37.420 four cases.

00:23:38.240 Trump must have done

00:23:40.200 something wrong.

00:23:42.180 Well, who knows?

00:23:45.120 And then apparently

00:23:46.140 because Melania's mother

00:23:48.640 recently died,

00:23:50.520 Trump's legal team

00:23:51.500 asked for a recess

00:23:52.320 so Trump could be with his wife 0.61

00:23:54.080 while she's mourning

00:23:55.820 the passing of her mother.

00:23:57.960 And Dobie, 0.99

00:23:58.580 the house elf,

00:23:59.200 said,

00:23:59.520 nope,

00:24:00.480 nope,

00:24:02.980 none of that.

00:24:04.240 All right,

00:24:08.200 Chris Christie,

00:24:09.960 in the biggest surprise

00:24:11.280 of politics,

00:24:12.940 he dropped out

00:24:13.760 of the race.

00:24:15.700 Amazing,

00:24:16.280 I know.

00:24:17.320 But the big story

00:24:18.380 is he was caught

00:24:18.960 in a hot mic

00:24:19.640 talking about

00:24:20.360 Nikki Haley

00:24:21.100 and saying

00:24:22.320 that she's going

00:24:23.300 to get smoked.

00:24:24.700 In other words,

00:24:25.220 she could not win

00:24:26.000 against Trump.

00:24:27.240 And she says,

00:24:27.940 you and I,

00:24:29.500 we both know it

00:24:30.780 and she's not up to this.

00:24:34.240 Is that an embarrassing

00:24:35.720 open mic moment?

00:24:38.860 I don't think so.

00:24:41.180 Because the polling

00:24:42.300 actually agrees

00:24:43.120 with them totally.

00:24:45.160 So,

00:24:45.380 Rasmussen did a poll

00:24:49.600 where it saw

00:24:50.900 how each of the

00:24:52.620 top three candidates

00:24:53.720 according to polling

00:24:54.460 would do against

00:24:55.300 Biden.

00:24:56.780 So Trump

00:24:57.440 would beat Biden

00:24:58.340 easily

00:24:58.760 according to

00:25:00.100 current polling.

00:25:01.820 DeSantis

00:25:02.320 would be a squeaker 0.88

00:25:04.380 who would go

00:25:05.440 either way

00:25:05.940 too close to call

00:25:06.880 and Haley

00:25:08.000 would get beaten

00:25:08.820 easily

00:25:09.380 by Biden.

00:25:11.780 Now,

00:25:12.100 that's polling

00:25:12.840 and I don't know

00:25:13.880 that any polling

00:25:14.640 is especially

00:25:15.720 reliable now.

00:25:17.760 Especially because

00:25:18.720 when people answer

00:25:19.540 these polls

00:25:20.200 it's very unclean

00:25:21.980 because there's

00:25:23.240 a little bit

00:25:23.640 of wishful thinking

00:25:24.460 in the answers

00:25:25.120 because there's

00:25:25.600 still multiple candidates.

00:25:27.500 But once you get down

00:25:28.320 to there's just two,

00:25:30.900 I don't know,

00:25:31.500 it seems like

00:25:32.160 all the rules

00:25:32.840 go out the window.

00:25:34.780 What would

00:25:35.440 Republicans do

00:25:36.300 if Nikki Haley

00:25:37.100 is the candidate?

00:25:38.920 You think they'd say

00:25:39.740 well,

00:25:40.220 in that case

00:25:41.520 we prefer Biden?

00:25:44.200 You think they would

00:25:45.140 stay home

00:25:45.760 and just say

00:25:46.480 yeah,

00:25:46.860 you know,

00:25:47.120 Biden's just as good?

00:25:49.620 I don't know.

00:25:50.520 I feel like

00:25:51.120 Republicans

00:25:51.600 are going to back

00:25:52.420 whoever the Republicans

00:25:53.380 is.

00:25:54.920 Trump could get

00:25:55.860 more feet

00:25:56.840 on the ground.

00:25:58.500 Trump could get

00:25:59.180 more people

00:25:59.660 across the street

00:26:00.440 to vote.

00:26:01.500 So motivation-wise

00:26:02.800 probably a big difference.

00:26:04.900 But

00:26:04.920 so I guess

00:26:07.300 I believe the polling

00:26:08.180 but a lot could change

00:26:09.200 between now and then.

00:26:12.120 Well,

00:26:12.440 DeSantis and

00:26:13.280 Nikki Haley

00:26:13.940 had their

00:26:14.540 debate last night.

00:26:16.480 How many of you

00:26:17.580 thought that would

00:26:18.240 be worth watching?

00:26:20.500 Did anybody

00:26:21.060 waste their time

00:26:23.520 trying to watch

00:26:24.180 that train wreck?

00:26:25.340 have you

00:26:28.840 developed the

00:26:30.260 heuristic

00:26:31.060 that I've developed?

00:26:33.480 So it goes

00:26:34.160 like this.

00:26:35.420 There's a political

00:26:36.440 debate.

00:26:37.220 Do you watch it?

00:26:38.060 Yes or no?

00:26:40.520 And

00:26:41.000 question number one

00:26:42.540 is Trump

00:26:43.860 in it?

00:26:45.860 Is Trump

00:26:46.640 in it?

00:26:47.660 Because you know

00:26:48.380 it'll be fun

00:26:48.880 if he's in it.

00:26:49.920 Question number two

00:26:50.900 is Vivek

00:26:52.100 in it?

00:26:53.240 If Vivek's in it,

00:26:54.140 it's going to be fun.

00:26:54.780 If neither of them

00:26:58.100 are in it,

00:26:59.200 why would I bother

00:27:01.180 really?

00:27:02.680 Does it matter?

00:27:04.340 I don't know.

00:27:04.860 I mean,

00:27:05.260 you only watch these

00:27:06.000 things because

00:27:06.560 there'll be a moment.

00:27:09.500 Right?

00:27:10.080 If Trump is in it,

00:27:11.300 there will be a moment.

00:27:13.040 If Vivek is in it,

00:27:14.520 there will be a moment.

00:27:16.500 Do you remember

00:27:16.980 what the moment was

00:27:17.920 that they reported

00:27:19.460 with DeSantis

00:27:20.940 and Nikki Haley?

00:27:22.840 There was so little

00:27:24.180 happening

00:27:24.620 in that debate

00:27:25.460 that they had

00:27:26.580 to get a body

00:27:27.380 language expert

00:27:28.280 just to create

00:27:28.960 an article.

00:27:30.440 Oh,

00:27:30.620 well,

00:27:30.820 we think one

00:27:31.700 was,

00:27:32.240 you know,

00:27:32.880 body language.

00:27:34.520 Who cares?

00:27:38.020 And I guess

00:27:39.140 at this point,

00:27:40.380 also according

00:27:41.440 to polls,

00:27:43.120 this is

00:27:44.060 interactive polls,

00:27:45.660 Haley is actually

00:27:46.340 surging

00:27:46.900 in the early states.

00:27:48.020 So she's

00:27:49.660 close second

00:27:50.860 in New Hampshire

00:27:51.540 behind Trump,

00:27:53.180 polling at 44

00:27:54.100 to his 52.

00:27:55.540 So he's up by eight.

00:27:56.880 And in Iowa,

00:27:58.620 Trump is at 56%

00:28:00.300 to Haley's 40%.

00:28:01.760 He's up by 16.

00:28:03.360 But that would be

00:28:04.300 super strong showing

00:28:06.060 in those states.

00:28:07.880 Now,

00:28:08.720 let me ask my audience.

00:28:11.240 Nikki Haley

00:28:12.040 doing great

00:28:12.900 in the polls.

00:28:13.560 these totally

00:28:14.920 real polls

00:28:16.020 that are

00:28:16.480 not suspicious

00:28:17.600 at all.

00:28:19.340 And so

00:28:19.900 I would imagine

00:28:20.680 that with this

00:28:22.100 kind of polling

00:28:22.720 strength,

00:28:23.460 many of you

00:28:24.420 are supporting her.

00:28:27.120 So in the comments,

00:28:29.020 can you tell me

00:28:29.920 how many of you

00:28:30.840 are supporting

00:28:31.340 Nikki Haley?

00:28:33.000 Look at all

00:28:33.640 those supporters.

00:28:35.760 Yeah.

00:28:36.620 Now,

00:28:37.000 this doesn't make sense

00:28:38.000 because 40%

00:28:39.760 of the people

00:28:41.520 in the two first states

00:28:42.700 are going to

00:28:43.860 support her.

00:28:45.260 How can it be

00:28:46.000 that there are

00:28:46.560 zero people

00:28:47.320 on my live stream

00:28:48.520 when most of you

00:28:50.200 are probably

00:28:50.580 Republican voters?

00:28:53.380 Huh.

00:28:54.260 It seems highly

00:28:55.060 unusual

00:28:55.580 that there would be

00:28:56.820 zero people

00:28:58.060 in this large crowd

00:28:59.580 of over a thousand

00:29:00.600 people.

00:29:01.800 And then over here

00:29:02.520 we've got,

00:29:03.460 I'm not seeing

00:29:04.480 your comments

00:29:05.040 at the moment,

00:29:05.860 so let's see if,

00:29:06.520 well,

00:29:07.860 I don't know why,

00:29:08.800 but the comments,

00:29:09.880 oh,

00:29:10.260 I know why.

00:29:11.880 There,

00:29:12.140 now I can see

00:29:12.660 your comments.

00:29:15.240 All right,

00:29:15.620 so just looking

00:29:16.400 through the comments

00:29:17.320 over here,

00:29:18.040 no,

00:29:18.320 no,

00:29:18.540 no,

00:29:18.780 no,

00:29:19.000 no,

00:29:19.340 no,

00:29:19.520 no,

00:29:20.340 no,

00:29:20.860 no,

00:29:21.340 no,

00:29:21.840 no.

00:29:22.580 So what's going

00:29:23.700 on exactly?

00:29:25.220 How in the world

00:29:26.040 can somebody

00:29:26.740 get 40% support

00:29:28.300 in the two

00:29:29.260 first states

00:29:31.640 when literally

00:29:34.480 zero people

00:29:35.800 in this

00:29:36.500 non-random

00:29:37.500 distribution

00:29:38.080 but still

00:29:38.640 zero?

00:29:40.100 Oh,

00:29:40.560 we got one

00:29:40.900 yes.

00:29:42.640 All right,

00:29:43.140 Mike Anderson,

00:29:44.480 we got one

00:29:45.180 yes.

00:29:46.700 But you can

00:29:47.380 see the point,

00:29:48.080 right?

00:29:49.880 What if

00:29:50.700 this is one

00:29:52.360 of those

00:29:52.660 situations

00:29:53.340 where the

00:29:55.360 truth is

00:29:56.100 exactly what

00:29:56.840 you think

00:29:57.160 it is?

00:30:00.380 What do you

00:30:00.980 think is the

00:30:01.440 truth here?

00:30:01.920 there's

00:30:04.340 either

00:30:06.440 Democrats

00:30:07.180 are answering

00:30:08.220 as if

00:30:08.920 they're

00:30:09.180 Republicans

00:30:09.680 and tried

00:30:11.500 to rig

00:30:11.860 the thing,

00:30:13.100 which seems

00:30:13.720 likely,

00:30:14.560 actually,

00:30:15.740 or

00:30:17.620 what?

00:30:21.660 Or somehow

00:30:22.480 all the

00:30:23.200 polls are

00:30:23.680 wrong?

00:30:24.800 Because the

00:30:25.180 thing is

00:30:25.620 that if

00:30:26.780 Rasmussen

00:30:28.140 is saying

00:30:29.560 that Haley

00:30:30.660 is polling

00:30:31.180 high,

00:30:32.700 Rasmussen

00:30:33.300 is definitely

00:30:34.020 not skewing

00:30:35.760 things in

00:30:36.380 favor of

00:30:36.840 Democrats.

00:30:38.380 That's not

00:30:38.820 happening.

00:30:39.960 So I

00:30:42.580 don't think

00:30:42.920 they're

00:30:43.080 necessarily

00:30:43.460 skewing it

00:30:44.080 in favor of

00:30:45.060 Republicans.

00:30:45.820 I think

00:30:46.080 they do a

00:30:47.060 good job

00:30:47.440 of going

00:30:47.720 down the

00:30:48.040 middle.

00:30:49.000 But that's

00:30:50.240 my opinion.

00:30:50.740 so it

00:30:54.340 must be

00:30:54.680 in the

00:30:54.920 data

00:30:55.200 itself.

00:30:56.540 I don't

00:30:57.220 think the

00:30:57.620 polling

00:30:57.860 companies

00:30:58.280 are all

00:30:59.100 just making

00:30:59.700 it up

00:31:00.040 because they

00:31:00.360 couldn't

00:31:00.700 be in the

00:31:01.260 same ballpark

00:31:01.920 all the

00:31:02.240 time.

00:31:03.140 I feel

00:31:03.880 like it's

00:31:04.240 in the

00:31:04.540 data.

00:31:06.160 And I

00:31:06.960 do think

00:31:07.560 that there's

00:31:08.000 some mystery

00:31:08.600 that the

00:31:09.860 pollsters

00:31:10.300 themselves are

00:31:11.060 trying to

00:31:11.420 figure out

00:31:11.960 about why

00:31:12.920 some of

00:31:13.400 the polls

00:31:13.900 seem kind

00:31:14.940 of hinky.

00:31:17.240 Yeah.

00:31:17.500 There's

00:31:17.700 something going

00:31:18.160 on.

00:31:18.420 We just

00:31:18.660 don't know

00:31:18.900 what it

00:31:19.120 is.

00:31:19.300 But I

00:31:21.980 do not

00:31:22.400 believe for

00:31:22.860 one second

00:31:23.420 that Nikki

00:31:24.800 Haley is

00:31:26.400 a close

00:31:29.040 second to

00:31:29.600 Trump in

00:31:30.540 the Republican

00:31:31.000 Party.

00:31:31.720 That doesn't

00:31:32.580 seem even

00:31:32.940 slightly

00:31:33.400 possible.

00:31:34.640 Based on

00:31:35.040 social media,

00:31:35.920 based on

00:31:36.320 this,

00:31:36.900 based on

00:31:37.340 anything.

00:31:38.240 I just

00:31:38.520 don't see

00:31:38.820 any indication

00:31:39.440 of it at

00:31:39.820 all.

00:31:40.860 So what

00:31:41.340 do people

00:31:41.860 who are

00:31:42.660 Democrats

00:31:43.420 think of

00:31:44.760 the result

00:31:45.680 last night

00:31:46.260 of the

00:31:46.780 two

00:31:46.960 Republicans?

00:31:48.420 Well,

00:31:48.620 CNN's

00:31:49.160 Abby

00:31:49.460 Phillip,

00:31:50.820 who,

00:31:51.520 by the

00:31:51.700 way,

00:31:51.920 believes

00:31:52.260 the

00:31:52.460 fine

00:31:52.720 people

00:31:53.060 hoax

00:31:53.340 is

00:31:53.520 real.

00:31:54.820 I like

00:31:55.460 to call

00:31:55.800 that out

00:31:56.240 every time

00:31:56.860 I mention

00:31:58.300 her on

00:31:59.380 the news.

00:31:59.840 She does

00:32:00.160 a good

00:32:00.380 job in

00:32:00.760 the news.

00:32:01.160 I think

00:32:01.360 she's

00:32:01.660 very talented.

00:32:03.660 She deserves

00:32:04.320 her job.

00:32:06.220 But she

00:32:06.800 does believe

00:32:07.260 the fine

00:32:07.660 people hoax

00:32:08.220 like many

00:32:08.700 of the

00:32:08.880 people in

00:32:09.240 the news.

00:32:10.460 So that's

00:32:10.940 a bad

00:32:12.380 look.

00:32:13.180 But she

00:32:13.460 said that

00:32:13.840 Nikki Haley

00:32:14.340 seemed flustered

00:32:16.380 and frustrated.

00:32:17.100 I don't

00:32:18.160 think that

00:32:18.520 helped

00:32:18.760 her

00:32:18.900 tonight.

00:32:23.180 But

00:32:23.820 there were

00:32:27.080 five other

00:32:28.720 political

00:32:29.340 consultants

00:32:29.920 that said

00:32:31.520 opposite,

00:32:32.400 some

00:32:32.620 Democrats,

00:32:33.220 some

00:32:33.340 Republicans,

00:32:34.800 that said

00:32:35.220 that Haley

00:32:36.320 had a great

00:32:36.880 night and

00:32:37.440 she just 0.65

00:32:37.860 totally

00:32:38.440 destroyed

00:32:39.700 dissentists.

00:32:40.540 What do

00:32:41.620 you think?

00:32:42.680 I think

00:32:43.400 that these

00:32:43.900 debates

00:32:44.480 do nothing

00:32:46.540 but make

00:32:47.040 people think

00:32:47.660 their side

00:32:48.200 won or

00:32:49.260 who they

00:32:49.600 want to

00:32:50.020 win.

00:32:52.280 I mean,

00:32:54.080 my take

00:32:55.240 on DeSantis

00:32:55.860 is that he

00:32:56.620 is way too

00:32:57.180 boring.

00:32:58.280 He doesn't

00:32:58.700 know how to

00:32:59.040 smile and

00:32:59.580 connect to

00:33:00.060 crowds.

00:33:01.220 I don't

00:33:01.580 know how

00:33:01.940 he won

00:33:02.300 as a

00:33:02.600 governor,

00:33:03.040 frankly.

00:33:05.180 I'm kind

00:33:05.800 of surprised

00:33:06.320 by it.

00:33:07.440 Once you

00:33:08.140 see the

00:33:08.560 quality,

00:33:09.400 well,

00:33:09.600 maybe it

00:33:09.920 was because

00:33:10.220 Trump

00:33:11.340 endorsed him.

00:33:12.500 Okay,

00:33:13.040 so that's

00:33:13.420 the reason

00:33:13.760 Trump

00:33:14.140 endorsed him.

00:33:15.100 But the

00:33:15.420 fact is

00:33:15.860 he's been

00:33:16.160 a great

00:33:16.460 governor.

00:33:17.700 I don't

00:33:18.120 agree with

00:33:18.500 everything he's

00:33:19.140 done in

00:33:19.500 Florida,

00:33:19.980 but on

00:33:21.480 balance,

00:33:22.820 one of the

00:33:23.380 best,

00:33:24.500 maybe one

00:33:25.020 of the

00:33:25.160 best of

00:33:25.480 all time.

00:33:27.240 But his

00:33:28.080 campaigning

00:33:28.740 is not

00:33:29.280 stellar.

00:33:31.860 I would

00:33:32.480 not hate

00:33:33.140 a world

00:33:34.520 in which

00:33:35.120 terrible

00:33:36.140 things happen

00:33:36.900 and he

00:33:37.980 became

00:33:38.280 president.

00:33:40.220 I wouldn't

00:33:40.640 hate it.

00:33:41.920 But I

00:33:42.880 do have

00:33:43.180 a problem

00:33:43.520 with

00:33:43.700 Nikki Haley

00:33:44.260 because she

00:33:46.260 keeps saying

00:33:46.840 that women 0.97

00:33:47.840 are special

00:33:48.400 and that

00:33:50.500 is the

00:33:50.800 most disqualifying

00:33:51.920 thing you could

00:33:52.460 ever do as a

00:33:53.080 Republican,

00:33:54.000 is to be all

00:33:54.980 DEI,

00:33:55.840 the worst

00:33:56.960 thing you

00:33:57.300 could do.

00:33:57.640 so we'll

00:34:02.280 keep an eye

00:34:02.740 on that.

00:34:06.940 So Vivek

00:34:09.020 is talking

00:34:11.280 conspiratorially

00:34:12.680 about Nikki

00:34:13.920 Haley and

00:34:14.660 the deep

00:34:15.340 state and

00:34:15.980 who they

00:34:16.280 want.

00:34:17.140 So Vivek's

00:34:17.820 thesis is

00:34:18.920 that the

00:34:19.580 people who

00:34:20.980 always run

00:34:21.540 everything,

00:34:22.540 the people

00:34:22.980 whose names

00:34:23.480 maybe you

00:34:24.040 don't know,

00:34:24.600 the deep

00:34:24.900 state,

00:34:25.500 we're behind

00:34:25.940 the scenes,

00:34:26.740 maybe some

00:34:27.180 billionaires

00:34:27.700 and capitalists

00:34:29.080 and people

00:34:29.460 like that.

00:34:31.380 He says

00:34:32.240 this,

00:34:32.620 here's the

00:34:33.080 plot.

00:34:34.020 Number one,

00:34:34.980 narrow this

00:34:35.500 to a two-horse

00:34:36.320 race between

00:34:37.180 Trump and

00:34:38.380 a puppet

00:34:39.280 they can

00:34:39.800 control.

00:34:42.440 Number two,

00:34:43.540 eliminate

00:34:43.920 Trump.

00:34:47.020 Number three,

00:34:48.080 trot their

00:34:48.440 puppet into

00:34:49.040 the White

00:34:49.380 House.

00:34:49.700 now,

00:34:52.880 I don't

00:34:55.160 know if

00:34:55.380 that means

00:34:55.740 before or

00:34:56.320 after the

00:34:56.660 primary,

00:34:58.040 but my

00:34:58.600 interpretation

00:35:02.400 is that he

00:35:03.840 means that

00:35:04.440 Nikki Haley

00:35:04.920 is the

00:35:05.280 puppet,

00:35:05.900 and if you

00:35:06.860 could get

00:35:07.240 rid of

00:35:07.540 Trump and

00:35:08.120 slot her 0.79

00:35:08.740 in,

00:35:10.060 and maybe

00:35:10.460 slot in a

00:35:11.500 puppet to

00:35:12.940 replace Biden,

00:35:13.880 or maybe you

00:35:14.340 don't need to

00:35:14.860 if somebody

00:35:15.620 will win,

00:35:17.060 and it's

00:35:17.780 really a

00:35:18.280 puppet play.

00:35:18.860 And that

00:35:19.860 what you're

00:35:20.220 seeing is

00:35:20.820 the deep

00:35:22.040 state getting

00:35:23.680 ready to

00:35:24.480 insert their

00:35:25.220 puppet,

00:35:25.920 and that

00:35:26.720 nothing we

00:35:27.260 do in the

00:35:27.680 democratic process

00:35:28.640 makes too

00:35:29.140 much difference

00:35:29.760 because they

00:35:30.240 can kind of

00:35:30.740 make their

00:35:31.100 puppet prevail.

00:35:33.760 Do you

00:35:34.300 believe that?

00:35:36.340 Do you

00:35:36.940 believe that

00:35:37.520 there is a

00:35:38.340 more of a

00:35:40.140 corporate,

00:35:41.180 let's say a

00:35:41.720 big corporation

00:35:42.440 play,

00:35:43.840 to get

00:35:44.180 Nikki Haley

00:35:44.780 in there,

00:35:45.320 because she's

00:35:45.720 the one they

00:35:46.120 trust?

00:35:48.860 it certainly

00:35:50.200 feels like

00:35:50.840 that,

00:35:51.080 doesn't it?

00:35:52.140 So I go

00:35:52.980 back to my

00:35:53.720 thesis for

00:35:54.620 today,

00:35:55.600 my theme,

00:35:56.360 if you

00:35:56.560 will.

00:35:58.060 Maybe it's

00:35:58.840 exactly what

00:35:59.460 it looks

00:35:59.740 like,

00:36:00.380 because I

00:36:01.920 cannot

00:36:02.240 understand the

00:36:03.860 complete lack

00:36:04.840 of grassroots

00:36:05.560 support that

00:36:06.660 I observe.

00:36:09.220 I can't

00:36:10.260 explain that,

00:36:11.420 unless it's

00:36:12.640 exactly what

00:36:13.380 it makes

00:36:13.780 sense.

00:36:14.140 Now, I

00:36:16.940 can't always

00:36:17.500 know what's

00:36:18.000 true, but I

00:36:19.660 can do a

00:36:20.120 pretty good

00:36:20.740 job of

00:36:22.300 telling you

00:36:23.000 what it

00:36:25.500 looks to

00:36:26.040 be.

00:36:27.460 Sometimes

00:36:27.980 things look

00:36:28.880 exactly the

00:36:29.600 way they

00:36:29.920 are, other

00:36:31.000 times not,

00:36:32.240 but in all

00:36:32.880 likelihood, this

00:36:33.580 is exactly

00:36:34.200 what it

00:36:34.560 looks like,

00:36:36.020 meaning that

00:36:36.900 the big

00:36:38.840 corporations are

00:36:39.600 trying to get

00:36:40.100 Nikki Haley

00:36:40.620 elected, and

00:36:41.920 they'll have

00:36:42.360 some plan to

00:36:42.980 get rid of

00:36:43.360 Trump before

00:36:44.160 the election.

00:36:47.080 So, we'll

00:36:48.780 see.

00:36:50.360 All right, I

00:36:51.160 saw Dr.

00:36:51.740 Jordan Peterson

00:36:52.340 tweeted today,

00:36:54.040 quote, you

00:36:55.320 are not

00:36:55.700 obligated to

00:36:56.400 associate with

00:36:57.100 people who

00:36:57.700 are making

00:36:58.120 your life

00:36:58.720 worse.

00:37:00.860 To which I

00:37:01.700 said, I

00:37:04.640 got canceled

00:37:05.260 a year ago

00:37:05.820 for saying

00:37:06.260 that.

00:37:07.600 Apparently, he

00:37:08.140 said it in

00:37:08.680 2021, so he's

00:37:09.780 been saying

00:37:10.160 it for a

00:37:10.500 while.

00:37:11.380 But I

00:37:12.580 think the

00:37:13.000 secret is he

00:37:13.680 said it

00:37:14.060 better.

00:37:15.660 Am I

00:37:16.000 right?

00:37:18.260 Maybe he

00:37:18.980 said it in

00:37:19.480 a less

00:37:20.700 provocative

00:37:21.780 way.

00:37:23.780 But the

00:37:24.220 weird thing

00:37:24.640 is that I

00:37:26.760 got canceled

00:37:27.380 without people

00:37:28.200 disagreeing

00:37:28.840 with me.

00:37:31.980 Did

00:37:32.520 everybody

00:37:33.120 note that?

00:37:34.420 That I

00:37:34.980 got canceled,

00:37:36.160 but nobody

00:37:36.940 disagreed with

00:37:37.620 me.

00:37:38.380 Literally,

00:37:39.580 nobody.

00:37:40.080 Instead,

00:37:42.820 what they

00:37:43.520 did was

00:37:43.980 they imagined

00:37:44.680 that something

00:37:45.240 else happened

00:37:45.880 and then they

00:37:47.200 disagreed with

00:37:47.900 the thing

00:37:48.220 they imagined.

00:37:49.520 Does that

00:37:50.160 happen to

00:37:50.580 anybody else?

00:37:51.900 Do you know

00:37:52.260 anybody else

00:37:53.000 who says

00:37:54.700 things clearly

00:37:55.520 but then

00:37:57.420 they imagined

00:37:59.220 it was

00:37:59.500 something else

00:38:00.060 so they can

00:38:00.540 criticize the

00:38:01.480 imagined part?

00:38:02.080 Well, sure.

00:38:05.140 NBC News has a

00:38:06.840 hit piece on

00:38:07.480 Elon Musk.

00:38:09.240 It said

00:38:10.040 Elon Musk

00:38:10.760 drew a

00:38:13.080 swift rebuke

00:38:14.040 from two of

00:38:14.980 the nation's

00:38:15.540 best-known

00:38:16.200 civil rights

00:38:17.180 organizations

00:38:18.680 after he

00:38:19.780 criticized

00:38:20.200 efforts by

00:38:20.980 United Airlines

00:38:21.800 and Boeing

00:38:22.300 to hire

00:38:23.200 non-white 0.52

00:38:23.780 pilots and

00:38:24.440 factory workers.

00:38:26.920 Now, I'm

00:38:27.600 going to save

00:38:28.000 you the time

00:38:28.640 of reading

00:38:29.200 the article.

00:38:30.880 Let me

00:38:31.520 summarize it

00:38:32.280 for you

00:38:32.640 in my own

00:38:33.400 words.

00:38:34.940 Summary

00:38:35.420 of the NBC

00:38:36.820 article.

00:38:37.820 First thing

00:38:38.420 you need to

00:38:38.840 know is

00:38:40.140 who are

00:38:40.460 the players?

00:38:41.760 And I

00:38:42.040 will say

00:38:42.380 this a

00:38:42.800 million more

00:38:43.320 times.

00:38:44.280 The news

00:38:44.900 doesn't make

00:38:45.540 sense unless

00:38:47.000 you know who

00:38:47.480 the players

00:38:47.880 are.

00:38:48.680 NBC News

00:38:49.700 is generally

00:38:50.420 considered

00:38:51.100 the CIA's

00:38:54.700 network.

00:38:56.020 In other

00:38:56.300 words, the

00:38:56.760 news that

00:38:57.240 comes out

00:38:57.600 of NBC

00:38:58.020 News, you

00:38:59.240 should not

00:38:59.740 assume is

00:39:00.660 true.

00:39:02.060 You should

00:39:02.500 assume that

00:39:03.100 it's the

00:39:03.380 official

00:39:03.720 government's

00:39:04.400 position, or

00:39:05.840 at least

00:39:06.140 the CIA.

00:39:07.420 Now, I

00:39:08.060 don't know

00:39:08.380 that that's

00:39:08.800 true, but

00:39:09.940 that is the

00:39:10.320 general

00:39:10.700 assumption, and

00:39:11.840 I know that

00:39:12.260 when I read

00:39:12.840 NBC News, it

00:39:14.880 looks exactly

00:39:15.640 like that, which

00:39:17.320 doesn't mean

00:39:17.740 it's true.

00:39:18.680 But it

00:39:19.500 looks exactly

00:39:20.780 like it's

00:39:21.280 true.

00:39:22.200 And so I

00:39:22.820 get back to

00:39:23.260 my theme.

00:39:24.900 What if

00:39:25.300 everything is

00:39:25.940 exactly like

00:39:26.660 it looks?

00:39:27.680 So here's

00:39:28.320 what they

00:39:28.600 do to

00:39:29.200 Elon Musk,

00:39:29.960 and I

00:39:30.380 summarize this

00:39:31.100 in my own

00:39:31.560 words.

00:39:32.720 What Musk

00:39:33.240 said, again,

00:39:34.140 these are my

00:39:34.680 words characterizing

00:39:36.220 what Musk

00:39:36.640 said, that

00:39:37.880 it's dangerous

00:39:38.460 to prioritize

00:39:39.280 race over

00:39:40.580 merit and

00:39:41.480 competency when

00:39:43.120 lives are at

00:39:44.100 stake.

00:39:44.820 You know, an

00:39:45.080 airline pilot has

00:39:46.880 to protect

00:39:47.340 your life and

00:39:48.200 your family's

00:39:49.680 life.

00:39:50.760 So when it's

00:39:51.880 life and

00:39:52.300 death, it's a

00:39:54.060 bad idea to

00:39:54.720 prioritize anything

00:39:55.940 except capability.

00:40:00.340 So that seems

00:40:01.380 pretty provocative,

00:40:02.420 right?

00:40:03.600 So what is the

00:40:06.200 criticism for it?

00:40:08.980 NBC will now

00:40:10.260 misinterpret him,

00:40:12.060 and then they'll

00:40:13.680 find third

00:40:14.400 parties who are

00:40:15.220 basically Democrat

00:40:16.280 assets, and

00:40:18.180 they will have

00:40:18.680 the third

00:40:19.160 party criticize

00:40:21.000 the misinterpretation

00:40:22.960 of what he

00:40:23.960 said.

00:40:24.700 If you believe

00:40:25.940 that NBC

00:40:28.380 is suggesting

00:40:29.460 that what

00:40:30.560 Musk really 0.94

00:40:31.360 meant is that

00:40:33.000 people of

00:40:33.900 color cannot

00:40:34.540 fly planes as

00:40:36.160 well as white

00:40:36.780 people, he

00:40:38.360 never said

00:40:39.060 anything like

00:40:39.740 that.

00:40:41.480 Not even

00:40:42.180 close.

00:40:43.460 Nothing in the

00:40:44.160 general neighborhood.

00:40:46.180 He strictly

00:40:47.000 talked about

00:40:47.680 capability.

00:40:49.480 And if you

00:40:49.900 focus on race

00:40:52.020 instead of

00:40:52.640 capability,

00:40:54.080 everybody who's

00:40:55.320 in business

00:40:55.860 knows you

00:40:57.000 get what you

00:40:57.560 measure.

00:40:59.180 You get what

00:41:00.160 you measure.

00:41:01.140 If you

00:41:01.780 measured your

00:41:03.260 employees' 0.66

00:41:04.060 height, you

00:41:05.940 know, they

00:41:06.220 would all start

00:41:06.720 wearing lifts in

00:41:07.820 their shoes.

00:41:08.300 race, because 0.58

00:41:09.620 you get what

00:41:11.640 you track.

00:41:13.120 So if they're

00:41:14.000 tracking race,

00:41:15.620 they're not

00:41:17.260 going to stop

00:41:17.800 tracking capability,

00:41:19.980 they don't

00:41:20.220 want to stop,

00:41:20.980 but it changes

00:41:21.740 the focus.

00:41:24.060 And if there's

00:41:25.180 a tiebreaker,

00:41:26.580 which way is

00:41:27.140 it going to

00:41:27.440 go?

00:41:28.320 That's the

00:41:28.880 problem.

00:41:29.420 If it's a 0.59

00:41:29.900 tiebreaker,

00:41:30.480 which way is

00:41:30.880 it going to

00:41:31.160 go?

00:41:32.420 And the

00:41:33.620 problem is

00:41:33.980 that we

00:41:34.200 don't know

00:41:34.540 what's really

00:41:35.020 a tie, so

00:41:35.820 you end up

00:41:36.300 favoring race

00:41:37.460 where maybe

00:41:38.080 the facts

00:41:39.500 did not

00:41:40.020 suggest you

00:41:40.680 should.

00:41:42.920 Now look

00:41:43.660 at my

00:41:43.920 situation.

00:41:44.840 So here's

00:41:45.220 a situation

00:41:45.820 where they

00:41:46.520 took a

00:41:48.140 completely

00:41:48.580 reasonable

00:41:49.080 thing that

00:41:49.620 literally

00:41:50.160 everybody

00:41:50.800 agrees with.

00:41:52.040 Find me

00:41:52.740 one person

00:41:53.480 in the

00:41:53.840 entire

00:41:54.140 planet

00:41:54.580 who would

00:41:55.680 disagree

00:41:56.080 with a

00:41:56.540 statement

00:41:56.840 that you

00:41:57.840 should hire

00:41:58.280 the most

00:41:59.080 capable

00:41:59.560 pilots.

00:42:01.880 Right?

00:42:02.420 Nobody disagrees

00:42:03.360 with that

00:42:03.780 at all.

00:42:04.600 So take

00:42:09.300 my case.

00:42:10.600 What did

00:42:11.040 people say

00:42:11.760 I said?

00:42:13.560 How was

00:42:14.160 I characterized?

00:42:15.660 I would say

00:42:16.220 that the way

00:42:16.600 I was

00:42:16.920 characterized

00:42:17.280 when I

00:42:17.780 got canceled

00:42:18.340 was that

00:42:19.900 I was

00:42:20.820 saying I

00:42:21.260 disliked

00:42:21.960 black people

00:42:22.640 so I

00:42:23.020 didn't want

00:42:23.320 to be

00:42:23.540 around them.

00:42:24.720 Is that

00:42:25.040 what you

00:42:25.300 heard?

00:42:26.980 Is that

00:42:27.540 an accurate

00:42:28.080 characterization

00:42:28.760 of what I

00:42:29.360 said?

00:42:30.980 It's not

00:42:31.540 even close.

00:42:32.920 It's not

00:42:33.440 even in

00:42:33.860 the same

00:42:34.440 zip code.

00:42:35.620 I've never

00:42:36.280 said that

00:42:36.860 because I

00:42:37.780 don't think

00:42:38.240 it.

00:42:39.320 I don't

00:42:39.960 have any

00:42:40.660 issue with

00:42:41.420 black people

00:42:42.120 individually

00:42:42.860 and personally.

00:42:43.960 Never have.

00:42:44.920 Never will.

00:42:46.320 Because why

00:42:46.720 would I?

00:42:47.600 There's no

00:42:48.200 reason for it.

00:42:49.960 Yeah.

00:42:50.420 I judge

00:42:51.000 individuals as

00:42:51.880 individuals.

00:42:53.300 Just period.

00:42:54.000 I tend to

00:42:54.540 like anybody

00:42:55.100 who has a

00:42:55.460 good sense

00:42:55.860 of humor.

00:42:57.300 And I

00:42:57.480 tend to

00:42:57.760 like anybody

00:42:58.180 who likes

00:42:58.560 me.

00:43:00.140 I have

00:43:00.540 very low

00:43:01.000 standards.

00:43:02.660 You have

00:43:02.920 a good

00:43:03.160 sense of

00:43:03.560 humor?

00:43:03.980 Oh,

00:43:04.140 I can

00:43:04.340 hang with

00:43:04.720 you.

00:43:05.940 No matter

00:43:06.560 what else

00:43:07.000 is going

00:43:07.340 on.

00:43:08.120 Can you

00:43:08.400 laugh at

00:43:08.760 that?

00:43:09.040 Oh,

00:43:09.220 I can

00:43:09.620 hang with

00:43:09.980 you.

00:43:10.760 You got

00:43:11.000 a good

00:43:11.220 sense of

00:43:11.560 humor.

00:43:12.360 You like

00:43:12.780 me?

00:43:14.020 All right,

00:43:14.540 we're

00:43:14.700 friends.

00:43:16.820 I'm done.

00:43:17.860 We're

00:43:18.260 friends.

00:43:18.940 Good sense

00:43:19.380 of humor.

00:43:19.760 You like

00:43:20.060 me?

00:43:20.340 Good.

00:43:21.220 We're

00:43:21.440 done.

00:43:22.500 So,

00:43:23.200 here's what

00:43:24.080 I did

00:43:24.340 say.

00:43:25.700 I said

00:43:26.420 if there

00:43:26.840 is a

00:43:27.240 group of

00:43:27.680 people,

00:43:29.520 and you

00:43:30.340 know that

00:43:30.900 because of

00:43:31.600 data or

00:43:32.100 polling,

00:43:32.400 that there's

00:43:32.880 a large

00:43:33.220 percentage

00:43:33.680 of them

00:43:34.120 that have

00:43:35.120 it out

00:43:35.380 for you,

00:43:36.780 you should

00:43:37.240 stay away

00:43:37.700 from them.

00:43:39.240 Do you

00:43:39.520 think the

00:43:39.880 news changed

00:43:40.520 that into

00:43:41.120 he said you

00:43:42.860 should stay

00:43:43.260 away from

00:43:43.620 all black

00:43:44.040 people all

00:43:44.500 the time?

00:43:46.120 No.

00:43:47.240 I mean,

00:43:47.760 that's what

00:43:48.320 they said,

00:43:48.720 of course.

00:43:49.400 But that's

00:43:49.760 not what I

00:43:50.180 said.

00:43:51.540 Now,

00:43:52.260 did I say

00:43:53.260 that all

00:43:53.960 black people

00:43:54.640 have it out

00:43:55.340 for me?

00:43:56.420 No,

00:43:56.920 that would be

00:43:57.260 stupid. 0.90

00:43:58.320 That would be

00:43:58.840 the dumbest

00:43:59.320 thing anybody

00:43:59.720 ever said.

00:44:00.180 But the

00:44:01.060 news can

00:44:01.560 say that

00:44:02.100 because

00:44:03.400 nobody's

00:44:04.600 checking with

00:44:05.060 me.

00:44:05.980 Nobody in

00:44:06.700 the news

00:44:07.240 who canceled

00:44:08.180 me actually

00:44:09.460 asked me why

00:44:10.260 I said what

00:44:10.900 I said or

00:44:11.320 what the

00:44:11.580 context was.

00:44:12.880 Just think

00:44:13.300 about that.

00:44:14.600 Nobody,

00:44:15.980 not a single

00:44:16.800 entity that

00:44:18.300 canceled me

00:44:18.880 asked me

00:44:20.140 what was

00:44:20.820 going on.

00:44:21.940 None.

00:44:23.460 Now,

00:44:23.860 a number of

00:44:24.280 podcasters did,

00:44:25.260 but they

00:44:25.560 weren't

00:44:25.780 canceling me.

00:44:26.860 They didn't

00:44:27.240 cancel me.

00:44:27.640 They were

00:44:27.860 just interested

00:44:28.420 in the

00:44:28.760 story.

00:44:29.920 So here,

00:44:30.360 let me say

00:44:30.760 it again.

00:44:32.960 If your

00:44:33.660 interest is

00:44:34.500 safety,

00:44:35.680 you can

00:44:36.240 discriminate as

00:44:37.000 much as

00:44:37.360 you want.

00:44:38.920 There's no

00:44:39.580 law against

00:44:40.180 it.

00:44:40.400 It's not

00:44:40.800 unethical.

00:44:42.400 There was a

00:44:42.920 recent video

00:44:43.680 of Mark

00:44:44.380 Cuban from

00:44:46.480 some time

00:44:46.980 ago where

00:44:48.000 he said that

00:44:48.660 he admitted

00:44:49.340 he was

00:44:49.860 bigoted and

00:44:51.800 prejudiced

00:44:53.260 because if

00:44:54.100 it were

00:44:54.780 late at

00:44:55.540 night,

00:44:55.900 he saw a

00:44:56.460 black

00:44:57.280 teenager in

00:44:57.940 a hoodie,

00:44:59.020 he might

00:44:59.340 cross the

00:44:59.820 street.

00:45:02.440 Now,

00:45:02.800 Elon Musk

00:45:03.400 sort of had

00:45:04.180 fun with

00:45:04.600 him because

00:45:04.920 they got a

00:45:05.220 little fight

00:45:05.620 going on,

00:45:06.180 so he

00:45:06.380 tweeted and

00:45:06.880 called him

00:45:07.360 a racist.

00:45:08.480 But who

00:45:10.140 disagrees with

00:45:10.920 Mark Cuban?

00:45:13.460 Literally

00:45:13.920 no one.

00:45:15.340 Literally

00:45:15.800 no one.

00:45:17.160 So do I

00:45:17.680 think Mark

00:45:18.420 Cuban is a 1.00

00:45:19.020 racist?

00:45:20.100 No.

00:45:21.600 He's

00:45:22.040 somebody who

00:45:22.440 does risk

00:45:22.900 management.

00:45:24.380 Is there

00:45:24.820 anything

00:45:25.160 that Mark

00:45:27.180 Cuban said

00:45:28.040 that would

00:45:28.880 suggest he

00:45:29.520 doesn't like

00:45:30.060 black people?

00:45:31.380 No.

00:45:32.120 There's

00:45:32.380 nothing in

00:45:32.820 that.

00:45:33.820 Nope.

00:45:35.160 All he

00:45:35.880 suggested was

00:45:36.720 that there's

00:45:37.960 a risk if

00:45:39.980 you see

00:45:40.300 somebody dressed

00:45:40.940 a certain

00:45:41.320 way and

00:45:41.780 they're part

00:45:42.080 of a

00:45:42.280 demographic

00:45:42.580 group,

00:45:43.460 you have

00:45:43.740 a higher

00:45:44.000 risk.

00:45:46.280 Every data

00:45:47.400 everywhere

00:45:47.920 suggests that's

00:45:48.740 true.

00:45:48.900 if you

00:45:51.440 saw a

00:45:52.220 black man

00:45:53.820 walking

00:45:54.180 toward you

00:45:54.980 on the

00:45:55.280 street and

00:45:56.400 he had a

00:45:56.800 necktie

00:45:57.240 on,

00:45:58.880 he had a

00:45:59.240 necktie

00:45:59.620 on,

00:46:01.640 do you

00:46:02.060 cross the

00:46:02.500 street?

00:46:03.480 I wouldn't.

00:46:04.740 I wouldn't

00:46:05.360 cross the

00:46:05.800 street if I

00:46:06.200 saw anybody

00:46:06.680 with a

00:46:06.980 necktie

00:46:07.280 on.

00:46:08.100 It wouldn't

00:46:08.640 matter who

00:46:08.960 it was.

00:46:09.700 You're wearing

00:46:10.020 a necktie?

00:46:10.860 Oh, okay.

00:46:12.580 Yeah, I

00:46:12.960 also, back,

00:46:13.800 do you remember

00:46:14.180 when boom

00:46:15.180 boxes were a

00:46:15.940 big thing?

00:46:17.320 You know,

00:46:17.540 the young

00:46:17.980 people would

00:46:18.420 carry like a

00:46:18.960 big boom

00:46:19.420 box, this

00:46:20.020 gigantic, you

00:46:21.420 know, recording

00:46:22.120 radio thing.

00:46:23.700 I used to

00:46:24.460 use that as

00:46:25.140 another way to

00:46:25.740 know I was

00:46:26.200 safe.

00:46:27.920 If you saw

00:46:28.700 somebody coming,

00:46:29.700 you know, walking

00:46:30.100 down the

00:46:30.440 sidewalk, and

00:46:31.460 let's say it's a

00:46:32.140 black teenager and

00:46:33.160 they've got a

00:46:33.560 hoodie on, if

00:46:35.320 they also had a

00:46:36.180 boom box,

00:46:37.440 totally safe.

00:46:39.940 Is that

00:46:40.620 discriminatory and

00:46:42.400 bigoted?

00:46:43.300 Yeah, probably.

00:46:44.720 Probably.

00:46:45.620 Because I, you

00:46:46.300 know, I made

00:46:46.700 a decision based

00:46:47.440 on a boom

00:46:47.880 box.

00:46:49.140 Yeah.

00:46:49.980 Now, but am

00:46:51.160 I being

00:46:51.600 irrational about

00:46:55.800 my own

00:46:56.420 security?

00:46:57.680 Would that be

00:46:58.440 rational?

00:46:59.580 Let me be as

00:47:00.540 clear as I

00:47:01.200 possibly can.

00:47:03.680 My security

00:47:04.800 decisions are

00:47:06.660 none of your

00:47:07.260 fucking business.

00:47:10.720 And let's

00:47:11.380 see it to that

00:47:11.840 conversation.

00:47:13.300 It doesn't

00:47:14.020 matter why I

00:47:14.680 make a decision.

00:47:15.360 if I think I

00:47:16.920 can make

00:47:17.280 myself safer

00:47:18.160 or my

00:47:18.700 family, I'm

00:47:20.320 going to do

00:47:20.580 whatever it

00:47:20.980 takes.

00:47:21.660 I don't care

00:47:22.340 what you think

00:47:22.820 about it.

00:47:24.900 So, no, I

00:47:25.940 don't think that

00:47:26.420 black people are

00:47:27.180 at risk, like,

00:47:28.300 just because they're

00:47:28.820 black.

00:47:29.500 I don't know

00:47:30.140 anybody who

00:47:30.640 does.

00:47:31.880 Literally, nobody

00:47:32.620 thinks that.

00:47:33.520 I've never heard

00:47:34.000 it in my whole

00:47:35.000 life.

00:47:36.780 Do I think that

00:47:37.740 if I went to a

00:47:38.540 black neighborhood

00:47:39.240 that was mostly

00:47:41.700 black, would 0.94

00:47:42.760 my risk, being

00:47:44.720 Mr.

00:47:45.220 McWhitey, the

00:47:46.820 Trump supporter,

00:47:48.100 would I have a

00:47:48.760 greater risk of

00:47:49.660 danger if I

00:47:51.360 were recognized

00:47:52.120 in an all-black

00:47:52.980 neighborhood?

00:47:54.360 I assume so.

00:47:56.060 But what if I'm

00:47:56.640 wrong?

00:47:58.540 None of your

00:47:59.360 fucking business.

00:48:00.840 I could be wrong

00:48:01.560 about my own

00:48:02.120 security.

00:48:04.180 Suppose I decide

00:48:05.320 to have a

00:48:06.160 personal gun or

00:48:08.160 not have a

00:48:08.780 personal gun for

00:48:09.780 home defense.

00:48:11.260 Is that any of

00:48:11.960 your fucking 0.97

00:48:12.400 business?

00:48:13.540 Nope.

00:48:14.480 You do not get

00:48:15.380 to decide what

00:48:16.860 makes me safer.

00:48:18.620 You do not get

00:48:19.340 to decide.

00:48:20.360 There's no law

00:48:21.120 that says you

00:48:21.700 have that right.

00:48:22.980 There's no ethical

00:48:23.940 rule that says

00:48:25.340 you have that

00:48:25.840 right.

00:48:26.560 It's not morally

00:48:27.660 supportable for

00:48:29.200 you to get in my

00:48:29.860 business.

00:48:31.000 My physical

00:48:31.900 security is my

00:48:33.520 fucking business.

00:48:35.660 You don't get a

00:48:36.500 say.

00:48:38.500 And vice

00:48:39.320 versa.

00:48:39.780 I don't get

00:48:40.300 to say it

00:48:40.640 in yours.

00:48:41.480 Now, if I

00:48:42.440 make a mistake,

00:48:43.160 I go to jail.

00:48:44.640 We all

00:48:45.280 understand that.

00:48:46.360 But it's still

00:48:46.800 my decision,

00:48:47.820 and nobody

00:48:48.300 gets to

00:48:48.760 participate.

00:48:49.680 Just me.

00:48:51.500 Now, do I

00:48:54.000 think that if I

00:48:55.260 competed in a

00:48:56.380 corporate America

00:48:57.300 for a job,

00:49:00.360 and there were,

00:49:01.580 let's say I lived

00:49:02.240 where there was a

00:49:03.240 substantial black

00:49:04.480 population,

00:49:06.260 do I have a

00:49:08.060 good chance of

00:49:08.680 getting the

00:49:09.000 promotion in

00:49:11.060 the context of

00:49:11.940 DEI and the

00:49:12.940 fact that I'm a

00:49:13.460 white guy?

00:49:14.180 No.

00:49:15.060 No.

00:49:15.640 So I should

00:49:16.320 leave that

00:49:16.880 situation.

00:49:19.200 Right?

00:49:20.000 That's the same

00:49:20.940 advice I would

00:49:21.560 give literally

00:49:22.180 anybody.

00:49:23.360 I would give

00:49:23.880 anybody the same

00:49:24.580 advice.

00:49:25.040 If you're going

00:49:25.500 to be passed

00:49:26.080 over because of

00:49:26.940 your immutable

00:49:28.260 characteristics, you

00:49:29.320 should get out

00:49:29.800 of there.

00:49:30.580 Get the fuck

00:49:31.120 out of there.

00:49:32.300 Get away as

00:49:33.140 far as you can

00:49:33.760 get.

00:49:34.020 So nobody

00:49:37.620 disagrees with

00:49:38.320 that.

00:49:39.560 So if I tell

00:49:40.280 you, you

00:49:41.480 know, nobody

00:49:42.320 thinks there's

00:49:43.060 any statement

00:49:43.620 that's true of

00:49:44.440 any group, but

00:49:46.460 there might be a

00:49:47.040 bunch of people

00:49:47.600 who are learning

00:49:48.260 DEI and

00:49:49.160 they're learning

00:49:49.600 CRT and

00:49:50.480 they're learning

00:49:50.800 ESG, and

00:49:52.200 they've been

00:49:52.580 trained to

00:49:53.880 think that I'm

00:49:54.600 literally their

00:49:55.260 problem.

00:49:56.520 Literally.

00:49:57.200 Me.

00:49:58.140 That I'm their

00:49:58.900 problem.

00:50:00.140 You know,

00:50:00.500 representing other

00:50:01.500 older white

00:50:02.680 guys, if

00:50:04.660 you're in that

00:50:05.100 situation, get

00:50:05.840 away.

00:50:07.020 You need to

00:50:07.580 get away. 0.73

00:50:08.800 Now, the way

00:50:09.300 Dr. Peterson

00:50:11.020 says it, he

00:50:11.960 says you're not

00:50:13.240 obligated to

00:50:14.600 associate with

00:50:15.300 people who are

00:50:15.880 making your life

00:50:16.700 worse.

00:50:17.340 Now, he's

00:50:17.680 speaking more

00:50:18.180 generally about

00:50:19.400 narcissists and

00:50:20.360 people like that,

00:50:21.380 but it's the

00:50:21.720 same thing.

00:50:22.980 It's exactly the

00:50:24.060 same.

00:50:24.780 You are not

00:50:25.380 obligated to

00:50:27.000 be around

00:50:27.420 people who

00:50:28.060 might have

00:50:29.520 an unusual

00:50:30.720 interest

00:50:31.420 in doing

00:50:31.920 you harm.

00:50:34.120 So, that's

00:50:35.460 the story

00:50:35.800 of that.

00:50:37.760 Yeah, it's

00:50:38.480 always the

00:50:38.860 same.

00:50:39.240 You always

00:50:39.500 take what

00:50:39.920 somebody said,

00:50:40.680 change it

00:50:41.120 into a

00:50:41.520 different thing,

00:50:42.480 and then you

00:50:43.080 have something

00:50:43.520 to bitch 1.00

00:50:44.300 about.

00:50:45.980 I believe

00:50:46.720 that 99%

00:50:47.760 of all

00:50:48.340 political

00:50:48.780 agreements

00:50:49.400 comes down

00:50:50.400 to one

00:50:51.920 group is

00:50:53.340 trying to

00:50:53.780 make the

00:50:54.400 actions of

00:50:55.060 a few

00:50:55.420 people

00:50:55.840 represent the

00:50:58.280 whole group.

00:50:59.780 When we

00:51:00.420 talk about

00:51:00.860 January 6th,

00:51:01.880 how does

00:51:02.240 the debate

00:51:04.240 always go?

00:51:05.740 It always

00:51:06.580 goes like

00:51:07.100 this if it's

00:51:07.700 a Republican

00:51:08.320 and a Democrat.

00:51:10.280 That was

00:51:10.980 not an

00:51:11.380 insurrection.

00:51:12.240 Republicans

00:51:12.680 don't forget

00:51:14.080 to bring

00:51:14.560 guns to

00:51:15.140 an insurrection.

00:51:16.140 So,

00:51:16.260 that Republican

00:51:16.780 says that.

00:51:17.820 And a

00:51:18.120 Republican will

00:51:18.760 leave out

00:51:19.380 that there

00:51:20.720 was violence

00:51:21.460 there and

00:51:21.980 there were

00:51:22.260 people doing

00:51:22.820 violence.

00:51:23.640 Because it

00:51:24.320 doesn't really

00:51:24.720 matter to

00:51:25.100 the point.

00:51:25.540 it matters

00:51:27.560 to the

00:51:27.940 legal system.

00:51:28.980 It matters

00:51:29.480 to the

00:51:29.800 victims.

00:51:30.640 But it

00:51:30.920 doesn't matter

00:51:31.320 to the

00:51:31.620 point of

00:51:32.120 whether it

00:51:32.600 was an

00:51:32.880 insurrection.

00:51:33.840 Because clearly

00:51:34.500 those few

00:51:35.140 violent people,

00:51:36.480 still there

00:51:37.020 were too

00:51:37.220 many of

00:51:37.640 them.

00:51:37.860 I'll call

00:51:38.160 it a few

00:51:38.620 just as a

00:51:39.760 ratio of

00:51:40.420 the total.

00:51:41.960 But there

00:51:42.400 were way too

00:51:42.700 many of

00:51:43.060 them.

00:51:43.280 Nobody

00:51:43.480 approves of

00:51:44.020 it.

00:51:44.640 But it

00:51:44.980 didn't

00:51:45.400 represent the

00:51:46.600 whole.

00:51:47.880 But even

00:51:48.500 today,

00:51:49.060 some Democrat

00:51:49.640 tells me,

00:51:50.660 why are you

00:51:51.120 ignoring that

00:51:51.900 it was a

00:51:52.240 violent

00:51:52.540 insurrection

00:51:53.100 where we

00:51:53.500 have pictures?

00:51:54.740 I've seen

00:51:55.460 the pictures.

00:51:57.480 Everybody's

00:51:58.000 seen the

00:51:58.300 pictures.

00:51:59.320 We've seen

00:51:59.800 the pictures

00:52:00.220 of the

00:52:00.600 violent

00:52:00.920 part.

00:52:01.880 We've seen

00:52:02.440 the picture

00:52:02.880 of the

00:52:03.560 doors being

00:52:04.080 opened and

00:52:04.580 people sauntering.

00:52:06.260 Why can't

00:52:06.760 we just say

00:52:07.320 it's both?

00:52:08.540 But that the

00:52:09.100 important part

00:52:09.980 was that they

00:52:11.240 didn't have

00:52:11.660 weapons and

00:52:12.320 they didn't

00:52:12.600 have an

00:52:12.920 intention to

00:52:13.560 do any

00:52:13.900 insurrecting

00:52:14.620 that they

00:52:15.300 were there

00:52:15.640 to protect

00:52:16.280 the Republic

00:52:16.920 not to

00:52:18.020 defeat it.

00:52:19.740 That's

00:52:20.320 really important.

00:52:21.200 Yes,

00:52:21.460 there were

00:52:21.640 bad elements

00:52:22.260 here.

00:52:23.020 So every

00:52:23.660 disagreement

00:52:24.960 seems to

00:52:25.960 fall into

00:52:26.360 that category

00:52:27.080 of somebody

00:52:27.600 thinks the

00:52:28.260 sum equals

00:52:29.420 all.

00:52:30.580 Let's take

00:52:31.080 Elon Musk.

00:52:32.580 Do you

00:52:32.820 think Elon

00:52:33.420 Musk meant

00:52:34.340 to say that

00:52:35.840 there are

00:52:36.160 zero people

00:52:37.000 of color

00:52:37.460 who can

00:52:37.860 fly an

00:52:38.340 airplane?

00:52:39.260 No.

00:52:39.960 Of course

00:52:40.520 he didn't

00:52:40.960 fucking mean

00:52:41.680 that.

00:52:42.640 Nobody would

00:52:43.320 mean that.

00:52:44.640 Literally

00:52:45.200 no one

00:52:46.360 anywhere ever

00:52:48.020 had that

00:52:48.480 thought as

00:52:50.000 a serious

00:52:50.460 thought.

00:52:51.080 But the

00:52:51.500 only way

00:52:51.820 they can

00:52:52.120 attack him

00:52:52.740 is to

00:52:53.840 act like

00:52:54.220 he did

00:52:54.560 say something

00:52:55.140 that's

00:52:55.540 batshit

00:52:55.960 crazy like

00:52:56.620 that.

00:52:57.860 That's all

00:52:58.460 the politics.

00:53:00.060 Well,

00:53:00.360 meanwhile,

00:53:01.020 South Africa

00:53:01.640 is taking a

00:53:02.460 case to

00:53:02.940 the Hague.

00:53:04.680 The UN

00:53:05.160 is going to

00:53:06.220 I guess

00:53:06.540 rule whether

00:53:07.280 Israel is

00:53:08.160 committing what

00:53:09.160 South Africa

00:53:09.780 would call

00:53:10.320 a genocide.

00:53:11.340 genocide.

00:53:12.640 Now,

00:53:13.140 I always

00:53:16.380 talk about

00:53:16.880 word thinking

00:53:17.740 and here's

00:53:19.160 a perfect

00:53:19.540 example.

00:53:22.000 Whether or

00:53:22.820 not this

00:53:23.180 is a

00:53:23.540 genocide,

00:53:25.080 does that

00:53:26.040 change what

00:53:26.540 it is?

00:53:27.000 if you

00:53:27.960 give it

00:53:28.680 the label,

00:53:29.940 let's call

00:53:30.520 it a

00:53:30.780 genocide,

00:53:31.740 that activates

00:53:32.760 a bunch of

00:53:33.280 rules,

00:53:33.780 right?

00:53:34.340 The way we

00:53:35.080 treat it

00:53:35.520 would be

00:53:35.840 different if

00:53:36.640 it fits

00:53:37.120 that definition.

00:53:38.520 But the

00:53:38.880 weird thing

00:53:39.360 is,

00:53:39.740 it's still

00:53:41.540 what it

00:53:41.880 is.

00:53:42.240 it's

00:53:44.260 exactly

00:53:44.620 what it

00:53:45.020 is,

00:53:45.440 no matter

00:53:45.880 what word

00:53:46.340 you put

00:53:46.640 on it.

00:53:47.460 Why do

00:53:47.800 you need

00:53:48.220 to put

00:53:48.480 a word

00:53:48.820 on it

00:53:49.240 if you

00:53:49.800 think it's

00:53:50.860 the worst

00:53:51.160 thing in the

00:53:51.500 world and

00:53:51.800 it needs

00:53:52.020 to be

00:53:52.220 stopped?

00:53:52.920 You need

00:53:53.280 a word?

00:53:55.200 You can

00:53:55.780 see what's

00:53:56.180 going on.

00:53:57.240 We could

00:53:57.660 argue about

00:53:58.120 the exact

00:53:58.680 death count,

00:53:59.500 but it's

00:53:59.960 pretty obvious

00:54:00.560 what's going

00:54:01.040 on.

00:54:02.160 And so

00:54:02.680 whether it

00:54:03.240 is labeled

00:54:04.800 one way or

00:54:05.580 isn't,

00:54:07.020 it is what

00:54:08.060 we're observing.

00:54:09.200 We're all

00:54:09.500 seeing the

00:54:09.800 same thing.

00:54:10.480 Everybody's on

00:54:11.000 the same page

00:54:11.580 of what it

00:54:12.100 is.

00:54:14.160 Now,

00:54:14.660 I don't

00:54:14.820 think anything

00:54:15.260 will come

00:54:15.620 of this,

00:54:16.200 no matter

00:54:19.040 what you

00:54:19.980 think of

00:54:20.360 it.

00:54:20.720 I don't

00:54:21.000 think this

00:54:21.340 process makes

00:54:22.020 any difference.

00:54:22.940 But there

00:54:23.260 was an

00:54:23.540 interesting

00:54:23.900 side story

00:54:24.620 that came

00:54:24.980 out of

00:54:25.280 it,

00:54:25.520 which is

00:54:25.980 Senator

00:54:26.680 John

00:54:27.080 Fetterman,

00:54:28.860 who was

00:54:29.680 speaking out

00:54:32.760 against the

00:54:34.080 effort to

00:54:35.340 call Israel 0.88

00:54:36.840 genocidists,

00:54:38.840 genocidists,

00:54:40.120 genocidal,

00:54:40.640 so Fetterman

00:54:42.280 was pro-Israel,

00:54:43.420 as am I,

00:54:44.360 100%.

00:54:45.020 And then

00:54:47.440 Fetterman

00:54:47.980 went on

00:54:48.520 and said

00:54:49.020 that South

00:54:50.080 Africa ought

00:54:50.940 to sit it

00:54:51.460 out when

00:54:51.940 it comes

00:54:52.420 to white

00:54:54.380 genocide.

00:54:57.120 That's right.

00:54:58.020 John Fetterman,

00:54:59.380 Democrat,

00:55:01.220 said out loud

00:55:02.040 and in public

00:55:02.840 that South

00:55:04.460 Africa ought

00:55:05.120 to sit it

00:55:05.600 out when it

00:55:06.100 comes to

00:55:06.440 white genocide

00:55:07.060 genocide,

00:55:07.900 because he's

00:55:08.340 very clear

00:55:09.340 that the

00:55:10.720 black Africans

00:55:11.420 are essentially

00:55:12.360 murdering,

00:55:13.260 creating a

00:55:13.740 genocide in

00:55:14.420 South Africa,

00:55:15.020 and they're

00:55:15.920 the last

00:55:16.420 fucking country

00:55:17.260 that should

00:55:18.000 blame anybody

00:55:18.600 of a genocide.

00:55:19.780 They're in

00:55:20.100 the middle

00:55:20.360 of one.

00:55:21.620 Now,

00:55:21.920 again,

00:55:22.620 you don't

00:55:22.900 have to use

00:55:23.380 the word

00:55:23.900 genocide.

00:55:24.840 You can see

00:55:25.440 what's

00:55:25.680 happening.

00:55:26.840 It's plain.

00:55:27.980 The news is

00:55:28.500 covering it all

00:55:29.120 the time.

00:55:29.860 Yeah,

00:55:30.040 the white

00:55:30.680 farmers are

00:55:31.360 being pushed

00:55:32.700 down,

00:55:33.060 slain.

00:55:33.500 so how

00:55:36.260 many topics

00:55:37.260 is this

00:55:37.820 in a row

00:55:38.400 where Fetterman

00:55:40.320 said something

00:55:41.040 that's exactly

00:55:42.360 my opinion?

00:55:44.060 Not even a

00:55:44.920 little bit

00:55:45.220 off.

00:55:46.160 It's exactly

00:55:46.800 my opinion.

00:55:48.000 Why does he

00:55:48.740 keep doing it?

00:55:49.960 Why is he

00:55:50.420 the only one

00:55:51.020 who's a

00:55:51.480 Democrat

00:55:51.780 who can do

00:55:52.460 it?

00:55:53.340 Well,

00:55:53.760 RFK does it

00:55:54.520 sometimes.

00:55:55.820 He does a

00:55:56.480 good job,

00:55:56.920 too.

00:55:57.540 But what

00:55:58.980 is going

00:55:59.460 on?

00:56:00.660 And by

00:56:00.980 the way,

00:56:02.180 you know,

00:56:02.740 I listened

00:56:03.100 to a bit

00:56:03.500 of his

00:56:03.780 speech today,

00:56:04.440 John Fetterman's.

00:56:05.720 And I have

00:56:06.400 to say,

00:56:07.420 he does

00:56:07.900 have his

00:56:08.320 fluency,

00:56:09.380 his fluency

00:56:10.660 return.

00:56:11.380 I was very

00:56:12.060 skeptical that

00:56:14.120 his medical

00:56:15.080 condition was

00:56:16.120 recoverable.

00:56:17.940 But it sure

00:56:18.740 looks like it.

00:56:20.480 And I hate

00:56:22.160 to tell you,

00:56:22.700 but he's a

00:56:23.160 legitimate

00:56:23.540 candidate for

00:56:24.320 president,

00:56:25.840 eventually.

00:56:28.620 Now,

00:56:29.280 you know,

00:56:29.600 there could

00:56:29.940 be lots

00:56:30.380 that will

00:56:30.620 come out

00:56:30.980 later that

00:56:31.620 maybe changes

00:56:32.560 my mind.

00:56:33.640 But if

00:56:34.300 he keeps

00:56:34.740 saying things

00:56:35.560 that aren't

00:56:36.600 too far

00:56:37.160 from Democrats,

00:56:39.240 but are

00:56:40.180 very compatible

00:56:40.980 with what

00:56:41.760 Republicans

00:56:42.300 think,

00:56:42.780 he's going

00:56:43.140 to be hard

00:56:43.440 to stop.

00:56:45.120 It's like,

00:56:45.880 why didn't

00:56:46.300 anybody think

00:56:46.880 of it before?

00:56:48.620 Let me put

00:56:49.240 it a different

00:56:49.600 way.

00:56:52.040 Fetterman

00:56:52.480 seems to be

00:56:53.140 the first

00:56:53.560 Democrat

00:56:54.060 who figured

00:56:54.620 out that

00:56:56.200 if you

00:56:56.540 didn't act

00:56:57.420 bat-shit

00:56:58.340 crazy,

00:56:59.520 it might

00:57:00.500 work out

00:57:00.960 in the

00:57:01.140 long run.

00:57:03.400 Now,

00:57:03.880 I think

00:57:04.220 he does

00:57:04.600 this at

00:57:04.980 his own

00:57:05.320 peril,

00:57:06.020 because I

00:57:06.880 imagine the

00:57:07.480 Democrats

00:57:07.960 are just

00:57:08.320 ready to

00:57:08.740 kill him

00:57:09.140 for saying

00:57:10.260 things that

00:57:10.760 any Republican

00:57:11.520 could ever

00:57:12.060 agree with,

00:57:12.700 because it's

00:57:13.020 just common

00:57:13.460 sense and

00:57:13.980 makes sense.

00:57:17.060 Yeah.

00:57:17.440 So,

00:57:17.800 again,

00:57:18.140 I'm not going

00:57:18.660 to agree with

00:57:19.060 him on every

00:57:19.680 policy thing,

00:57:20.580 but damn,

00:57:21.860 he looks like

00:57:22.320 the real

00:57:22.640 thing.

00:57:23.780 He looks

00:57:24.600 like the

00:57:24.980 real deal.

00:57:26.200 So far,

00:57:27.600 I'm always

00:57:28.340 open to the

00:57:28.920 fact that I

00:57:29.300 could be

00:57:29.600 bamboozled,

00:57:30.960 but he

00:57:31.820 looks like

00:57:32.220 the real

00:57:32.500 deal.

00:57:33.100 Let me

00:57:33.480 say this.

00:57:33.940 This would

00:57:34.140 be the

00:57:34.340 best compliment

00:57:36.020 I can give

00:57:36.820 him would

00:57:38.120 be one that

00:57:38.740 I would also

00:57:39.160 give Vivek,

00:57:40.660 also give

00:57:41.400 RFK Jr.

00:57:42.940 There are a

00:57:43.740 number of

00:57:44.120 people running

00:57:44.660 this time,

00:57:45.220 not all of

00:57:45.700 them,

00:57:46.680 who, in

00:57:47.180 my opinion,

00:57:48.620 are just

00:57:49.240 patriots.

00:57:50.820 Just

00:57:51.260 patriots.

00:57:52.180 I think

00:57:52.460 Vivek,

00:57:53.600 you know,

00:57:53.920 of course,

00:57:54.340 he's a

00:57:54.740 young,

00:57:55.280 ambitious

00:57:55.600 guy.

00:57:56.100 Everybody

00:57:56.300 can be

00:57:56.740 ambitious.

00:57:57.280 That's not

00:57:57.620 a fault.

00:57:58.440 Well, I

00:58:00.080 feel like

00:58:00.560 he's running

00:58:01.020 because he

00:58:01.400 wants to

00:58:01.720 fix stuff.

00:58:02.640 I feel

00:58:03.080 like RFK

00:58:03.820 Jr.

00:58:04.220 is running

00:58:04.560 because he

00:58:04.940 thinks he

00:58:05.300 needs to

00:58:05.640 fix stuff.

00:58:06.840 And I

00:58:07.080 think

00:58:07.280 Fetterman is

00:58:07.900 acting the

00:58:08.340 way he's

00:58:08.640 acting because

00:58:10.720 he wants to

00:58:11.100 fix stuff.

00:58:12.580 To me,

00:58:13.240 that's just

00:58:13.640 a patriot.

00:58:18.340 Now, does

00:58:19.120 Nikki Haley

00:58:19.940 have the same

00:58:20.560 incentives?

00:58:22.480 Well,

00:58:23.300 it doesn't

00:58:25.180 look like it.

00:58:26.080 she looks

00:58:27.020 a little

00:58:27.320 more

00:58:27.560 traditional

00:58:28.120 politician.

00:58:29.900 What about

00:58:30.500 Trump?

00:58:34.160 Is Trump

00:58:35.080 running to

00:58:35.880 get his

00:58:36.380 revenge or

00:58:37.200 to fix

00:58:37.820 the country?

00:58:40.680 Why would

00:58:41.440 he have to

00:58:41.840 do only

00:58:42.260 one?

00:58:43.720 Why would

00:58:44.680 he have to

00:58:45.020 choose?

00:58:46.740 What would

00:58:47.320 be wrong

00:58:47.760 with both

00:58:48.300 of those

00:58:48.580 things?

00:58:50.780 There does

00:58:51.880 have to be

00:58:52.320 some mutually

00:58:52.860 assured

00:58:53.240 destruction.

00:58:53.880 the Democrats

00:58:55.980 do have to

00:58:56.700 be destroyed.

00:58:58.220 The leadership,

00:58:58.940 not the

00:58:59.240 party.

00:59:00.040 But the

00:59:00.380 leadership of

00:59:01.060 the party

00:59:01.380 needs to be

00:59:02.000 destroyed.

00:59:03.260 For what

00:59:04.020 they've done

00:59:04.580 right in

00:59:05.700 front of

00:59:06.040 you.

00:59:06.880 20 different

00:59:07.980 hoaxes,

00:59:09.200 20 different

00:59:09.880 political

00:59:10.320 hoaxes

00:59:10.920 through their

00:59:12.040 trained monkeys,

00:59:13.080 the media.

00:59:15.240 That really

00:59:16.260 needs to be

00:59:16.780 addressed.

00:59:18.340 So if you

00:59:18.880 think that

00:59:19.400 the revenge

00:59:20.680 incentive is

00:59:21.540 somehow lower

00:59:22.800 than

00:59:23.200 your ethical

00:59:24.740 standards,

00:59:25.900 there's a

00:59:26.480 utility to

00:59:27.180 it.

00:59:27.860 There has

00:59:28.220 to be

00:59:28.440 some utility

00:59:29.020 to it.

00:59:29.540 Otherwise,

00:59:30.040 I wouldn't

00:59:30.380 support it.

00:59:33.360 All right.

00:59:33.800 So that,

00:59:35.720 ladies and 0.98

00:59:36.060 gentlemen,

00:59:36.380 is all I

00:59:37.220 needed to

00:59:37.640 say today.

00:59:38.740 Apparently,

00:59:39.240 my new

00:59:39.600 microphone

00:59:40.020 setup is

00:59:41.480 working

00:59:41.920 great.

00:59:48.700 And I'm

00:59:49.520 just looking

00:59:49.960 to see if

00:59:50.320 you have any

00:59:50.960 comments.

00:59:53.200 one hour

00:59:54.300 in the

00:59:54.560 dot.

00:59:54.880 I'm so

00:59:55.240 good at

00:59:55.600 this.

00:59:58.820 All right.

01:00:03.420 Klott was

01:00:04.240 going to

01:00:04.740 end Biden's

01:00:05.600 2020 run

01:00:06.420 because of the

01:00:07.000 fighting people

01:00:07.520 hoax.

01:00:08.020 How did that

01:00:08.400 work out?

01:00:09.300 Well, if the

01:00:10.360 2020 election

01:00:11.360 had not been

01:00:12.440 rigged, it

01:00:12.860 would have

01:00:13.080 worked.

01:00:14.300 So somebody

01:00:15.080 saying that I

01:00:15.700 said I was

01:00:16.180 going to take

01:00:17.240 Biden out

01:00:17.780 because of the

01:00:18.180 fighting people

01:00:18.680 hoax, and

01:00:19.340 then I

01:00:19.600 failed.

01:00:19.900 Well, it's

01:00:20.980 certainly true

01:00:21.500 that I did

01:00:21.960 not succeed,

01:00:23.680 but it is

01:00:26.360 my current

01:00:26.920 opinion that

01:00:27.500 the 2020

01:00:28.060 election was

01:00:29.200 probably rigged,

01:00:30.460 but I don't

01:00:31.240 have any facts

01:00:32.280 for that.

01:00:33.400 It's just that

01:00:34.140 if you look at

01:00:34.920 everything else

01:00:36.340 we know,

01:00:38.080 it's really

01:00:38.660 impossible to

01:00:39.440 imagine it

01:00:39.880 wasn't rigged.

01:00:41.440 I tried.

01:00:42.580 I tried for

01:00:43.800 really up until

01:00:45.440 just a few

01:00:45.980 months ago.

01:00:46.500 I tried

01:00:47.320 everything I

01:00:48.140 could to

01:00:49.340 stay open

01:00:50.560 minded about,

01:00:51.460 you know,

01:00:52.400 maybe we're

01:00:52.860 getting ahead

01:00:53.280 of ourselves.

01:00:54.180 Maybe.

01:00:55.260 Maybe it was

01:00:56.060 a fair election.

01:00:57.420 Maybe.

01:00:58.460 But it's

01:00:59.320 hard to get

01:00:59.760 past the

01:01:00.280 fact that

01:01:00.720 every single

01:01:01.500 institution in

01:01:02.600 America is

01:01:03.380 obviously corrupt,

01:01:05.300 just obviously

01:01:06.220 corrupt, and

01:01:07.340 that would be

01:01:07.940 50 state

01:01:09.160 elections were

01:01:09.820 the only

01:01:10.220 things immune

01:01:10.980 from corruption.

01:01:12.720 Really?

01:01:14.320 Now, even

01:01:15.200 if you don't

01:01:15.700 take the

01:01:16.360 vote counting

01:01:17.820 rigging,

01:01:18.640 because I

01:01:18.960 don't have

01:01:19.280 any evidence

01:01:19.760 to prove

01:01:20.220 that, but

01:01:21.500 even if you

01:01:22.140 just took

01:01:22.680 the political

01:01:23.860 shenanigans,

01:01:25.140 the rule

01:01:25.540 changes, the

01:01:26.600 remote voting,

01:01:28.380 the Hunter

01:01:29.860 laptop, the

01:01:30.860 media

01:01:31.320 coordination

01:01:32.540 against Trump,

01:01:33.780 I mean, it

01:01:34.080 was certainly

01:01:34.460 rigged in a

01:01:36.300 practical way,

01:01:37.100 it was rigged,

01:01:38.260 in the sense

01:01:39.300 that the will

01:01:40.540 of the voters

01:01:41.200 was removed

01:01:43.400 from the

01:01:43.880 process.

01:01:45.700 would you

01:01:46.360 call that

01:01:46.740 rig?

01:01:47.760 If the

01:01:48.540 media colludes

01:01:50.020 to basically

01:01:51.040 make up

01:01:51.600 stories, the

01:01:52.720 fine people

01:01:53.300 hoax, the

01:01:54.020 drinking bleach

01:01:54.960 hoax, if

01:01:55.840 there's a

01:01:56.860 massive

01:01:57.380 coordinated

01:01:58.180 attempt to

01:01:59.860 come up with

01:02:00.300 a hoax,

01:02:01.560 like the

01:02:02.060 laptop wasn't

01:02:03.360 Hunter's

01:02:04.360 hoax,

01:02:05.800 that's not

01:02:08.080 exactly a

01:02:08.700 democratic system.

01:02:09.580 that would

01:02:11.200 be a

01:02:12.000 pretend

01:02:12.620 democratic

01:02:13.280 system that's

01:02:14.720 run by the

01:02:15.360 people who

01:02:15.880 can pay

01:02:16.580 enough

01:02:16.920 advertising to

01:02:17.980 influence the

01:02:18.640 media.

01:02:19.820 So there

01:02:20.260 was nothing

01:02:20.680 like a

01:02:22.300 republic or

01:02:23.800 anything like

01:02:24.280 that.

01:02:26.420 Let me tell

01:02:27.340 you my best

01:02:27.940 guess about

01:02:29.440 who they

01:02:30.240 are.

01:02:31.680 I see this

01:02:32.820 a lot.

01:02:33.820 People on

01:02:34.720 the republican

01:02:35.220 side, almost

01:02:36.200 exclusively, they

01:02:37.760 talk about a

01:02:38.500 they.

01:02:39.660 Now it gets

01:02:40.180 used in two

01:02:40.800 different ways.

01:02:41.600 One of them

01:02:42.000 is the

01:02:42.340 anti-Semitic

01:02:43.180 Jews are

01:02:44.060 running the

01:02:44.440 world way

01:02:44.960 that I

01:02:45.620 don't subscribe

01:02:46.320 to because

01:02:46.840 I've never

01:02:47.720 seen any

01:02:49.060 evidence of

01:02:49.760 that whatsoever

01:02:50.360 and I would

01:02:50.980 have by now.

01:02:53.320 But the

01:02:53.900 other is that

01:02:54.400 there's a

01:02:54.840 deep state

01:02:55.420 they.

01:02:57.180 But they're

01:02:58.020 never named.

01:02:59.480 Nobody ever

01:02:59.960 says, you

01:03:00.360 know, it's

01:03:00.620 they, you

01:03:01.300 know, this

01:03:01.900 person, this

01:03:02.440 person, and

01:03:02.860 this person.

01:03:03.760 Sometimes they

01:03:04.580 say it's

01:03:04.960 Obama.

01:03:06.700 Sometimes it's

01:03:07.740 the deep

01:03:08.480 W.E.F.

01:03:09.360 and Klaus.

01:03:10.740 Sometimes it's

01:03:11.660 the global

01:03:12.240 conspiracy of

01:03:13.340 the Jews, the

01:03:15.200 Rothschilds, and

01:03:16.260 other crazy

01:03:17.080 stuff.

01:03:18.360 But nobody's

01:03:19.480 too specific

01:03:20.520 who they are.

01:03:21.700 Here's my best

01:03:22.480 guess of who

01:03:24.200 they are.

01:03:26.540 I think that

01:03:27.860 there's a massive

01:03:28.720 incompetence

01:03:29.760 problem that

01:03:30.780 permeates

01:03:31.380 everything,

01:03:32.100 including

01:03:32.380 politics.

01:03:32.880 and that

01:03:34.660 mass

01:03:35.560 incompetence

01:03:36.380 is so

01:03:37.260 pervasive

01:03:37.820 that it

01:03:38.940 looks like

01:03:39.340 it's

01:03:39.520 coordinated

01:03:40.080 or planned.

01:03:42.160 So if you

01:03:42.900 had one

01:03:43.360 problem, let's

01:03:44.180 say your

01:03:44.740 only problem

01:03:45.340 was border

01:03:45.940 security,

01:03:47.140 you'd say,

01:03:48.360 oh, there

01:03:48.720 must be

01:03:49.020 something about

01:03:49.460 border security.

01:03:50.820 There's like

01:03:51.180 something about

01:03:51.700 that situation

01:03:52.520 that's not

01:03:53.080 working.

01:03:54.220 Well, it's

01:03:54.880 not the only

01:03:55.340 thing that's

01:03:55.760 not working.

01:03:57.320 It's kind of

01:03:58.000 like, you

01:03:58.820 know, the

01:03:59.020 airplanes are

01:03:59.660 falling out of

01:04:00.200 the sky or

01:04:01.020 money is

01:04:01.480 going to

01:04:01.900 Ukraine.

01:04:03.540 It feels

01:04:04.020 like there's

01:04:04.460 a lot

01:04:04.860 not working.

01:04:06.560 But I

01:04:07.620 don't know

01:04:07.960 that it's

01:04:08.260 coordinated.

01:04:09.840 It looks to

01:04:10.440 me like it's

01:04:11.560 just mass

01:04:12.120 incompetence.

01:04:13.620 And then the

01:04:14.000 mass incompetence

01:04:14.960 is shielded

01:04:16.040 because we

01:04:16.920 no longer

01:04:17.420 have a

01:04:18.000 press

01:04:19.020 that's asking

01:04:20.520 the right

01:04:20.900 questions of

01:04:21.480 their own

01:04:21.780 team.

01:04:23.080 So if you

01:04:23.440 take away the

01:04:24.100 independence of

01:04:24.820 the press,

01:04:25.360 if it ever

01:04:25.800 had it, I

01:04:26.400 don't know if

01:04:26.720 they ever had

01:04:27.180 it, but

01:04:28.100 without the

01:04:28.700 press,

01:04:29.160 the bad

01:04:31.200 guys, the

01:04:32.140 they, can

01:04:33.240 say anything.

01:04:34.520 They can

01:04:34.880 just literally

01:04:35.480 make anything

01:04:36.100 up and it

01:04:36.660 sticks.

01:04:38.540 So here's

01:04:39.280 what I

01:04:39.520 think.

01:04:40.200 I think that

01:04:40.960 the corporations,

01:04:42.200 the big

01:04:42.420 corporations, are

01:04:43.260 in fact driving

01:04:44.740 the ship and

01:04:46.060 always have.

01:04:47.500 But it's not

01:04:48.720 like there are

01:04:49.400 one or two

01:04:49.920 corporations that

01:04:50.720 are controlling

01:04:51.320 everything.

01:04:52.420 It's more like

01:04:53.380 each corporation

01:04:54.100 has some

01:04:55.400 set of

01:04:55.820 policies that

01:04:56.520 they really

01:04:56.900 care about and

01:04:58.000 they make

01:04:58.320 damn sure that

01:04:58.940 those happen.

01:05:00.280 But it's a

01:05:00.720 different

01:05:00.940 corporation for

01:05:02.780 a different

01:05:03.140 policy, etc.

01:05:05.260 So it's

01:05:05.820 definitely the

01:05:06.280 corporations are

01:05:07.000 driving everything,

01:05:08.020 including DEI and

01:05:10.540 all that other

01:05:11.420 stuff.

01:05:14.240 That's my

01:05:14.920 take.

01:05:15.360 But it's not

01:05:15.840 like one

01:05:16.360 they.

01:05:17.020 It's just a

01:05:17.540 bunch of

01:05:17.840 corporate

01:05:18.120 interests that

01:05:19.500 sort of

01:05:21.320 manifest

01:05:21.920 themselves to

01:05:22.660 the system,

01:05:23.600 but no

01:05:24.500 coordinated

01:05:25.200 they.

01:05:25.520 the oil

01:05:27.520 people may

01:05:28.600 be

01:05:28.760 coordinated

01:05:29.220 and the

01:05:30.580 banking

01:05:30.900 people

01:05:31.280 might be

01:05:31.700 coordinated,

01:05:32.160 but the

01:05:33.120 two of

01:05:33.360 them are

01:05:33.580 not on

01:05:33.880 the same

01:05:34.180 side

01:05:34.480 necessarily.

01:05:35.940 It's just

01:05:36.340 people pursuing

01:05:37.260 their interests.

01:05:38.320 That's what it

01:05:38.860 feels like to

01:05:39.440 me.

01:05:39.800 I don't think

01:05:40.180 there's any

01:05:40.780 day beyond

01:05:42.260 that effect.

01:05:43.620 all right.

01:05:47.300 That's all

01:05:47.980 for now.

01:05:48.580 I'm going

01:05:48.840 to say bye

01:05:49.540 now to

01:05:50.500 you three
