Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2351 CWSA 01⧸12⧸24

00:00:00.000 Welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:03.480 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I don't think there's been a better time in your entire life.

00:00:08.680 If you'd like this experience to go up to levels that, well, you can't even believe.

00:00:14.280 All you need for that would be a...

00:00:17.600 What do you need for that?

00:00:20.620 You know.

00:00:21.580 A cup or mug or a glass of tanker shells or stye in a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:27.080 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:29.440 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day that makes everything better, it's called.

00:00:36.440 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:43.660 Ah.

00:00:45.600 Looks like we got good sound on all platforms.

00:00:49.360 Everything's working today. Yay.

00:00:52.280 How about that news, huh?

00:00:53.620 So, according to the news, Sam Altman just got married, and imagine his year.

00:01:05.900 So, Sam Altman launches the greatest new technology in our lifetime, which is OpenAI and ChatGPT.

00:01:15.520 Then he gets fired, or whatever it was, and then it's a big drama, and he comes back.

00:01:23.800 And AI is changing the world.

00:01:26.000 And the thing that we didn't know, during all of that drama, he was planning a wedding.

00:01:34.340 Have any of you ever planned a wedding?

00:01:36.080 Do you have any idea how much trouble that is?

00:01:39.840 Can you imagine his year?

00:01:42.340 This is like the year that nobody could even understand.

00:01:45.960 How in the world do you do all those things in one year?

00:01:48.800 So, congratulations to Sam Altman.

00:01:51.040 There's an app that I thought was very cool I'm going to tell you about.

00:01:56.100 It's called Hero.

00:01:57.760 And it uses AI, of course.

00:01:59.860 But all you do is you point your phone to any object you own, and it will tell you how much you can sell it for.

00:02:07.360 Is that cool?

00:02:09.060 I feel like that's what I've been waiting for my whole life.

00:02:12.800 I just want to point my phone at, like, you know, my coffee cup and have it come up with a price.

00:02:18.080 I don't think it quite connects you, you know, the buyer and the seller.

00:02:22.880 So, there's another step there that could be cool.

00:02:25.880 But, oh, eBay has something similar, you say?

00:02:29.680 I haven't seen that.

00:02:31.580 No, that's something I can use.

00:02:34.380 Just point it out as something that tells you what it's worth.

00:02:37.840 Well, here's some really good news from Germany.

00:02:40.920 So, Germany has managed to reduce their emissions.

00:02:44.320 So, their emissions are low this year.

00:02:46.220 And you're probably wondering, how did they do it?

00:02:48.960 How did Germany lower its emissions?

00:02:52.700 Well, checking the fine print, Germany lowered their emissions by substantially lowering their quality of life.

00:03:03.120 And killing their economic engine of growth.

00:03:06.600 So, big success in Germany.

00:03:10.840 Good luck, Germany.

00:03:12.720 Congratulations on reducing your quality of life to the level that Klaus Schwab requires.

00:03:20.580 So, big winner, Klaus Schwab.

00:03:23.060 All right.

00:03:26.980 Jerry Nadler was quoted as saying that one of the reasons, well, two of the reasons, really, that we need immigration.

00:03:36.480 And even, he says, illegal immigration.

00:03:39.720 So, at least he's being very honest about this and transparent.

00:03:42.680 And Nadler says, our vegetables would rot in the ground if they weren't being picked by many immigrants, many illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:03:52.440 Yeah.

00:03:53.180 So, when it comes to national security, Jerry Nadler is most interested in, checking notes again, his food.

00:04:03.240 His food.

00:04:04.540 Yeah.

00:04:05.080 Jerry wants to make sure we got lots of illegal immigrants because he's a hungry motherfucker and he needs lots of vegetables. 1.00

00:04:13.980 Lots of vegetables.

00:04:15.880 So, he needs more illegal immigrants to get his calorie count up. 1.00

00:04:22.980 Now, the one thing I should warn the immigrants about is if we run out of vegetables. 1.00

00:04:29.020 Jerry Nadler will eat you.

00:04:31.120 You get that, right?

00:04:33.660 You know, if it's up to Jerry Nadler, first, he would eat the vegetables, the first choice.

00:04:40.960 But if there are no vegetables, Jerry still needs to eat.

00:04:46.920 He's going to be eating the illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:04:49.820 I don't know.

00:04:50.400 I just think that could happen.

00:04:52.500 I'm not guaranteeing it.

00:04:54.300 I'm just saying it could happen.

00:04:56.840 All I'm saying is he's very hungry.

00:05:00.140 That's all I'm saying.

00:05:01.040 Well, you'll be delighted to know that there's been a big breakthrough in AI writing jokes.

00:05:09.920 And this is quite exciting.

00:05:12.100 You know, I told you that AI would never be able to be good at humor.

00:05:17.140 Well, I guess I'm eating my words more than Jerry Nadler is eating illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:05:23.340 Because somebody made a George Carlin that doesn't sound at all like George Carlin and tells jokes that don't sound anything like George Carlin would tell.

00:05:35.240 But they've been deemed funny.

00:05:39.060 You know what the joke was?

00:05:42.960 Something about a fart that was trying to escape an asshole.

00:05:49.460 So that's the joke that AI came up with.

00:05:51.760 Now, in my experience, AI thinks that all humor is wordplay.

00:05:59.720 And the reason I know that is I've asked AI to tell me jokes.

00:06:03.860 And I can say specifically, tell me a joke, but don't use wordplay.

00:06:09.380 And then it will tell me a joke with wordplay.

00:06:11.900 And then I'll say, okay, but try it again.

00:06:15.380 But I want no wordplay.

00:06:17.600 It can be no puns, no clever wording, nothing with wordplay, just a joke.

00:06:23.160 And it will give you another joke with wordplay.

00:06:26.760 Because it actually can't do anything else.

00:06:29.400 Now, this is probably a quiz that you can all do well on.

00:06:35.460 Are fart jokes funny?

00:06:37.640 In the comments, tell me, are fart jokes funny?

00:06:41.900 To a segment of the population, 100% of fart jokes are funny.

00:06:49.220 You know that, right?

00:06:50.300 You might not be in that segment.

00:06:52.540 But I think it's 25% of the public.

00:06:55.860 That's just a guess.

00:06:57.420 It feels like it would be 25%.

00:06:59.460 Thinks that all fart jokes are funny.

00:07:02.300 My beloved late father was in that 25%.

00:07:07.460 If you want a dad to laugh,

00:07:09.960 I wouldn't go too clever.

00:07:14.080 No.

00:07:15.180 No, but if you can make a good fart joke,

00:07:17.280 a fart joke, dad would be laughing.

00:07:19.500 I'll tell you.

00:07:20.100 That's funny stuff.

00:07:22.220 So here's what I need to tell you as a professional humorist.

00:07:28.840 What is the lowest form of humor?

00:07:31.200 Go.

00:07:31.340 What is the lowest, considered the least capable, easiest, lowest form of humor?

00:07:39.420 Some people would say wordplay and puns.

00:07:42.740 Other people would say bathroom humor and farts. 0.84

00:07:45.360 But AI apparently has risen all the way to the level of the lowest fucking humor you could ever write.

00:07:54.780 Wordplay about a fart. 0.59

00:07:57.060 And somebody was bragging about how AI had finally broken through into the humor domain.

00:08:02.520 No, it hasn't.

00:08:03.540 If your best joke is a fucking fart joke with a wordplay, you have not entered the world of humor.

00:08:12.500 You have not.

00:08:14.020 You're knocking on the door, but you're not inside.

00:08:18.280 You're definitely outside the door.

00:08:20.540 So no, AI is not about to take your job.

00:08:26.660 Now, can you imagine that AI would ever be good enough to do a Dave Chappelle-like humor

00:08:34.180 where he's weaving together a whole tapestry and you don't know where it's heading

00:08:39.600 until the surprise ending that ties it all together and makes you question your convictions

00:08:45.560 and makes you see things from the other side for the first time?

00:08:49.400 And it can't do that.

00:08:51.660 Will it ever be able to do that?

00:08:54.140 Well, I don't think so.

00:08:56.360 Well, let me be specific.

00:08:58.060 I don't think that the large language models will ever produce humor that would be Chappelle-quality humor

00:09:06.300 or Seinfeld or most of the greats.

00:09:10.800 And the reason is that AI is designed to stay safe.

00:09:17.420 That's the first problem.

00:09:18.420 Because Chappelle never works safe.

00:09:21.420 He doesn't work dirty, but he's never safe.

00:09:24.700 And AI only has to be safe.

00:09:26.240 It's designed that way.

00:09:27.920 And more importantly, AI has to be boring and inoffensive.

00:09:32.800 And it's just, I just can't see it doing it.

00:09:36.360 And the other thing is that a human is sort of surfing the zeitgeist.

00:09:40.300 You know, so Chappelle knows what you're feeling and thinking, and then he crafts his work around it.

00:09:48.180 And it would change in a month from now if you're feeling and thinking differently.

00:09:51.940 AI can't do that.

00:09:53.180 Not even close.

00:09:54.960 All right.

00:09:55.320 Microsoft has overtaken Apple as the world's largest or most valuable company.

00:10:01.900 So Microsoft is the most valuable company.

00:10:03.800 I told you a while ago that I was selling all my Apple stock.

00:10:09.260 This is not financial advice.

00:10:11.380 Not, not, not financial advice.

00:10:14.620 Because I don't get financial advice.

00:10:16.400 I'm not good at it, really.

00:10:17.340 But I did sell my Apple stock because I was worried about the risk of AI because they seemed behind.

00:10:25.500 And I did buy a bunch of Microsoft stock before I had its run.

00:10:29.780 So, God, I got lucky.

00:10:32.800 Man, you know, the most important part of investing is pure luck.

00:10:38.240 Pure luck.

00:10:39.600 The Apple part, I may have guessed right.

00:10:42.500 But as soon as they, if Apple introduces their own AI and it's great, then I really fucked up.

00:10:50.720 Right.

00:10:51.140 If AI and Apple work well together, and it probably will, probably will, then holding Apple would be the best bet.

00:10:58.640 But there's no way to know.

00:11:00.040 So it introduced some risks.

00:11:05.420 Dementia Hitler is coming out with some new lies.

00:11:10.360 He said, today's data shows that we ended 2023 with inflation down by nearly two-thirds from its peak, and core inflation at its lowest level, blah, blah, blah, blah.

00:11:22.340 When was the last time Joe Biden tweeted something that was true?

00:11:27.680 Have you noticed that?

00:11:29.600 It's almost 100% false when he tweets.

00:11:32.840 Now, I think in this case, he's just playing the game of, you know, what base do you start measuring?

00:11:40.460 You know, if you start at this base, inflation is up.

00:11:43.380 If you start at this base, it looks like it's down.

00:11:45.880 So he's obviously just playing, you know, numbers games here, which I would consider a lie.

00:11:50.220 I don't know.

00:11:54.600 I feel like Trump lied way less in tweets.

00:12:00.420 Am I wrong about that?

00:12:02.640 See, a typical Trump tweet would be a joke, which is not a lie.

00:12:09.820 He could simply say what the numbers are.

00:12:13.100 You know, inflation is 2% or whatever it is.

00:12:15.500 And that wouldn't be a lie because he'd just be telling you what the statistic is.

00:12:20.220 And then he gives you opinions, which are not lies.

00:12:23.560 You might not like them, but an opinion is not a lie.

00:12:26.540 And then there are insults about his enemies, which might be hyperbole.

00:12:31.920 But you would recognize it, obviously, as hyperbole, and you would judge this out.

00:12:36.540 I would say, I don't know if this is purely me being a team player.

00:12:42.060 I guess you can judge me on this.

00:12:43.800 I want you all to judge me, right?

00:12:45.740 This is a category where I can't judge my own performance.

00:12:51.720 I'm not sure you could either.

00:12:53.480 But judge me on this.

00:12:55.700 Am I being just biased and blind when I say, in my opinion, the social media posting of Biden

00:13:03.460 is far more factually inaccurate than Trump?

00:13:07.320 And I'm not saying that Trump passes the fact-checking.

00:13:11.200 I'm just saying he doesn't post a bunch of lies.

00:13:14.580 It's not that he hasn't.

00:13:16.480 I'm just saying that he's more likely to go with hyperbole and opinion and what's important in America first.

00:13:23.520 And they're not exactly lies.

00:13:26.620 You know, most of it.

00:13:27.920 But I feel like when Biden says anything, it's just a flat lie.

00:13:34.260 That's what it feels like.

00:13:35.660 But am I wrong?

00:13:37.200 Is that my way off base?

00:13:39.220 I'm just biased?

00:13:40.300 Because I might be.

00:13:42.020 I'm open to the fact that that's a false pattern.

00:13:46.760 But I can tell you that this tweet proves that Dementia Hitler doesn't know the difference between up and down when it comes to inflation anyway. 0.84

00:13:55.340 Maybe other things, too.

00:13:56.240 All right.

00:13:57.520 My minor theme for today's show is everything you suspected is true.

00:14:04.700 Now, that's sort of a continuing theme, in a sense, because we've all been saying that.

00:14:09.060 It seems like all the conspiracy theories are coming true.

00:14:12.780 And that's, of course, not actually true.

00:14:15.880 Not all of the conspiracy theories.

00:14:18.180 But a lot of the fun ones.

00:14:20.220 So let's look at a few.

00:14:21.340 Apparently, the passports, the U.S. passports, have been redesigned.

00:14:30.540 And the Biden administration has removed the eagle and the flag.

00:14:35.860 In other words, the American imagery has been removed from the passport, and now it's just a document.

00:14:41.420 Why wouldn't you do that?

00:14:45.700 What conversation went into that?

00:14:49.300 And what it looks like is something that I kind of resisted.

00:14:53.100 You know, probably, I don't know, how many years ago did the crazy people on the right start saying, I think the Democrats and the Marxists, especially the Marxists, are trying to destroy the imagery and sort of the culture of America so that they can slot in their belief systems better.

00:15:13.160 And I remember thinking to myself, well, that's really giving them a lot of credit for long-term planning that feels like too much credit.

00:15:23.380 So I was kind of on the side of, well, I see what you're saying, but I feel like it's just a bunch of things that are coincidentally heading in that direction.

00:15:31.800 But then you see the passport.

00:15:33.840 And I honestly can't think of any reason you would remove American imagery from a passport.

00:15:40.080 Maybe there's some reason.

00:15:40.940 Is it an international standard, and we're just trying to be more international?

00:15:46.740 Is that why?

00:15:47.700 Do other countries not put national imagery on their passport?

00:15:51.880 Were we just trying to be standardized?

00:15:54.560 Whatever the reason, it probably wasn't good enough.

00:16:00.400 Yeah.

00:16:01.340 So everything from, right, the standard, the family, to what is a man, what is a woman,

00:16:06.860 and all the CI and diversity and all that, it all seems like, it does feel like it's designed to destroy the core of America values that made America what it is or was.

00:16:22.980 Maybe was is a better word.

00:16:24.240 So, yeah, it looks coordinated.

00:16:30.340 It actually looks, you know, maybe not in the sense that they held a meeting and talked about it,

00:16:35.240 but there does seem to be some general sense on the Democrat side to destroy all that binds us together as Americans.

00:16:44.340 It's starting to be hard to ignore.

00:16:48.140 You know, I'm not so big on, you know, just images and stuff, but it does seem comprehensive.

00:16:55.200 It would be hard to imagine that it's all coincidence at this point, but you can't rule out a coincidence.

00:17:01.520 All right, so Texas is at war with the federal government.

00:17:07.800 The End Wokeness, one of my favorite accounts, reports this,

00:17:12.060 that the Texas National Guard just seized control of Shelby Park and Eagle Pass.

00:17:17.300 That's the place the illegals were coming through the fence.

00:17:21.740 And they banned federal agencies from access in the area.

00:17:27.200 Do you understand the magnitude of that?

00:17:31.520 The military of the state is militarily acting against the federal government

00:17:38.120 because the federal government is putting them at too much risk.

00:17:42.700 Thank you.

00:17:43.880 Thank you, Governor Abbott.

00:17:47.760 Absolutely.

00:17:48.580 And they're putting the razor wire back.

00:17:51.260 And in my opinion, this is a civil war.

00:17:56.740 Is it not?

00:17:57.680 If the state uses military arms to take control back from the federal government, what is that?

00:18:08.840 That is a civil war.

00:18:10.900 I mean, not big and official.

00:18:13.700 But if the state is militarily moving against the feds, it doesn't matter that the feds back down.

00:18:21.200 That's a civil war.

00:18:22.540 So I would say that it started.

00:18:27.200 This is the beginning of the civil war.

00:18:29.960 Now, I hope that it stays small.

00:18:33.120 Maybe it'll just be some more rumblings like this.

00:18:35.600 Probably.

00:18:36.880 The most likely outcome is more conversations.

00:18:41.280 The Supreme Court will get involved.

00:18:43.820 People will back down and stuff.

00:18:45.420 I don't think this is going to blow into, you know, civil war too.

00:18:49.060 But this is literally a civil war.

00:18:52.200 Am I wrong?

00:18:54.220 Am I being too hyperbolic?

00:18:56.400 If your state is moving militarily against the federal government, what else is that?

00:19:01.400 That's only a civil war.

00:19:03.160 There is no other way to label that.

00:19:06.120 Keep in mind everything.

00:19:10.040 Yeah.

00:19:10.700 Okay.

00:19:10.980 Well, let's talk about Yemen.

00:19:18.960 Now, many of you have made the following joke.

00:19:21.780 That the Houthis, the name of the people firing the missiles at the ships in the Red Sea,

00:19:27.320 that it sounds like Houthi and the Blowfish.

00:19:30.140 That's almost clever.

00:19:32.200 That would be AI-level cleverness.

00:19:36.160 Right.

00:19:37.000 So if you were an AI, you could come up with that joke.

00:19:39.360 Oh, it's like Houthi and the Blowfish.

00:19:42.240 It's wordplay.

00:19:43.440 Wordplay.

00:19:44.920 But if you're going to do wordplay, you have to take it another level.

00:19:48.220 No, it's not Houthi and the Blowfish.

00:19:52.220 It's Houthis and the Blowships. 1.00

00:19:56.500 That's right.

00:19:57.460 Houthis and the Blowships. 1.00

00:20:00.940 Much better.

00:20:02.340 That's called an upgrade.

00:20:05.280 Let's see your AI do that.

00:20:06.460 Now, if I could maybe tie this in with a fart joke.

00:20:12.740 Let's see.

00:20:13.680 The Blowships. 0.93

00:20:15.540 Hooties.

00:20:16.080 We've got your missiles.

00:20:17.880 Fart joke.

00:20:19.540 I'm going to have to work on this.

00:20:21.480 I'll work on this.

00:20:22.340 I'll get back to you.

00:20:23.480 Tootie.

00:20:26.040 Okay, you beat me.

00:20:28.000 Tootie and the Blowships. 0.95

00:20:30.400 It's a fart joke.

00:20:31.800 All right.

00:20:32.340 Okay.

00:20:32.840 You win.

00:20:33.220 Did you know that Joe Biden in 2020 railed against Trump for starting a military action

00:20:46.020 without getting Congress's approval?

00:20:49.400 Yeah, that really happened.

00:20:51.460 Now, what is Joe Biden doing?

00:20:53.240 He's attacking a foreign country without congressional approval.

00:21:00.180 And Thomas Massey is quickly getting into the, hey, you can't do that game.

00:21:07.700 And Ro Khanna, Democrat, is joining him, where they're joining each other in opposing the military

00:21:14.620 action without Congress's approval.

00:21:16.320 I saw Nancy Mace weighing in the same, so we do have a little bit of bipartisanship in 0.95

00:21:23.560 terms of Congress should be in charge.

00:21:25.800 But I have a technical question.

00:21:28.680 My understanding, and I guess I don't have an understanding, of how the Congress interacts

00:21:35.400 with the president for military stuff.

00:21:37.820 Can you give me a fact check on this?

00:21:42.400 Is it true that the president can instigate military action without asking Congress, but

00:21:50.820 he has to inform them within 48 hours?

00:21:53.840 Is that correct?

00:21:55.700 So Biden, 90 days?

00:21:58.360 Oh, 90 days to get their approval or cut it out, right?

00:22:02.900 But he has to inform the government within 48 hours, which I believe has happened.

00:22:09.380 So does that mean he's got 90 days and he's totally within his legal balance, right?

00:22:15.800 You keep yelling, War Powers Act, like that's telling me something.

00:22:20.640 I'm asking you what's in it, not the name of it.

00:22:23.880 So stop yelling, War Powers Act.

00:22:26.820 Tell me what the rules are.

00:22:29.320 That's what I'm asking.

00:22:32.900 Here's what, I don't know what the law does say, but here's what it should say.

00:22:40.540 I think it is.

00:22:41.940 It should say that the president can do things without getting approval in the short run.

00:22:47.180 Because that's what you want.

00:22:49.020 You know, you don't want your secretary of defense to be unconscious.

00:22:54.180 You want to be able to act fast because these are existential risks.

00:22:58.840 So I don't know that anybody has yet violated any laws.

00:23:04.780 I don't think Biden's violated the War Powers Act, has he?

00:23:09.120 I mean, he could if he doesn't get their approval and he keeps going.

00:23:17.600 All right.

00:23:18.380 So I don't have a complaint with how Biden is handling Yemen in terms of his dealing with Congress.

00:23:28.640 But if we stay there, you know, if it's not just a punch and go, then, yeah, Congress has to get on board with that.

00:23:38.400 That's the only way this can work.

00:23:39.540 All right.

00:23:43.560 And we will all be reminded today that Trump designated the Houthis in Yemen as a terrorist organization.

00:23:51.920 And then one day after taking office, Joe Biden rescinded it and said, you're not terrorists.

00:23:57.640 And now he's bombing the hell out of them.

00:24:00.420 The people are not terrorists.

00:24:01.620 So I don't know how many more times people can say this, but if the Democratic Party's policy is to do whatever Trump didn't do, that's not even governing.

00:24:16.060 Why is that?

00:24:17.600 That's not even trying.

00:24:20.060 Yeah.

00:24:20.460 That's ridiculous.

00:24:21.780 It's absurd.

00:24:22.920 It's incompetent.

00:24:25.920 You can't even say enough bad about it.

00:24:28.340 I mean, you could not design the system.

00:24:31.620 That was more incompetent than doing the opposite of what the other guy did.

00:24:37.200 You could not even come up with any idea worse than that.

00:24:43.420 Let's see.

00:24:46.900 So, yeah, Benny Johnson reported that Trump said, let's be clear.

00:24:54.760 Donald Trump does not have the authority to take us into war.

00:24:57.340 That was in 2020.

00:24:58.960 War with Iran he was talking about. 0.63

00:25:00.420 Well, Mike Cernovich weighed in with some classic satire.

00:25:05.340 He says, America can't win the war against Hooties without diversifying and inclusion. 0.97

00:25:11.840 Diversity and inclusion.

00:25:13.420 Institute the draft for underrepresented groups immediately.

00:25:17.700 This is a matter of both national security and social justice.

00:25:20.400 So, jokingly, Mike is saying that if diversity and inclusion are so important, we'd better build the military around those principles so we have a strong enough military.

00:25:33.400 Because you don't want a bunch of weak white people running your military with all their white supremacy. 0.98

00:25:39.240 That's just a big mistake.

00:25:40.260 So, here's what I say.

00:25:44.440 I say white males should avoid every organization that is DEI-centric.

00:25:52.600 In other words, if any organization, whether it's the military, any other part of the government, private corporation, if they tell you, and they're not hiding it, we have a DEI program here, stay away.

00:26:08.100 No white man should join the military.

00:26:12.660 Let me say that as clearly as I can.

00:26:15.380 If you have a son or daughter, poor daughter, although I don't know how it works for daughters.

00:26:21.300 Maybe they have some advantages in the military these days.

00:26:24.160 I don't know one way or the other.

00:26:25.960 But if you have a son, a white son, you should steer him away from every DEI organization, especially the military. 0.99

00:26:36.320 Especially the military.

00:26:37.380 Now, I would not fight for a country that has a DEI program.

00:26:44.220 Let me say it again.

00:26:45.900 I would not join the military and fight and die for a country that treated me that way.

00:26:53.140 I'm willing to live here because I was born here and I think we can improve.

00:26:57.200 But I'm not willing to fight for this country.

00:27:01.160 I'm going to say that as directly as possible.

00:27:03.620 The country is not fighting for me.

00:27:05.660 I'm not going to fight for it.

00:27:07.380 If you're white, I wouldn't join the military. 1.00

00:27:10.340 Men, why would you? 0.66

00:27:12.380 Find something you can do where you're not being discriminated against.

00:27:16.200 And by the way, I would give the opposite advice to any person of color or woman. 0.99

00:27:23.080 I would say you should go toward DEI because that would be your best strategy.

00:27:30.140 So follow your best strategy.

00:27:32.680 I'm not saying DEI is good or bad.

00:27:35.500 I'm saying if you're a white man, it's terrible.

00:27:38.040 Run away.

00:27:38.520 If you're a person of color or a woman or LGBTQ, go toward it. 1.00

00:27:43.980 That would be your best strategy, of course.

00:27:47.280 But yeah, white men, you should get the fuck out of the military because the military doesn't want you. 0.89

00:27:52.960 Your government doesn't.

00:27:56.540 By my count, America is fighting five wars.

00:27:59.920 Let's see.

00:28:00.460 That would be how many more than during Trump's administration?

00:28:03.120 That would be five.

00:28:05.720 That's five more wars.

00:28:07.860 You think we don't have five?

00:28:09.040 Here you go.

00:28:09.480 You've got Ukraine.

00:28:11.740 You've got the Hamas-Hezbollah thing.

00:28:13.760 We're not, maybe not firing shots, but we're supporting it.

00:28:17.400 You've got Yemen today.

00:28:18.980 You've got, what about all those Iran proxies in Iraq and Syria?

00:28:23.720 We're in wars with them.

00:28:25.620 And now, in my opinion, the flow of illegal immigration is an invasion.

00:28:33.140 I've resisted for years.

00:28:35.580 I think you've seen me.

00:28:36.500 I've resisted calling illegal immigration invasion because it was still at a low enough number that we could absorb it okay. 0.99

00:28:44.820 And it was coming from countries that I felt more comfortable with, Central America, Mexico.

00:28:49.940 You know, I have a feeling of comfort with that community.

00:28:54.140 They're very American.

00:28:55.460 They like families.

00:28:56.600 They like hard work.

00:28:59.380 Give me more.

00:28:59.920 But we're at a level now, and they're coming from places that we, you know, we have a little less comfort with culturally. 0.99

00:29:08.240 Not as easy fit as the Central and South Americans are. 1.00

00:29:13.060 And I would call it a war.

00:29:16.640 That's not too strong, is it?

00:29:18.500 Yeah, I don't think that's too strong.

00:29:22.660 I think it's a war. 0.52

00:29:25.440 And then I would say that American citizens have an extra war. 0.54

00:29:30.960 So if you're an American citizen, you're supporting a government that's in five different wars.

00:29:36.780 But you have an extra war if you're a citizen beyond the one that you're supporting your government for, which is the war against the government itself.

00:29:48.140 Because the government has created a web of censorship entities that are funded through, you know, various Democrats and non-governmental forces.

00:30:02.200 They have the effect of taking your freedom away and turning the country into no free speech.

00:30:10.800 Eventually, you'll take your guns away, et cetera.

00:30:13.740 And I would say that citizens are literally fighting a war against their own government.

00:30:18.580 Is that too strong?

00:30:20.960 Don't you feel like the citizens are at war with their government?

00:30:25.440 I mean, not militarily.

00:30:27.040 But the government is jailing dissidents for pretty much bullshit.

00:30:31.660 They're trying to put Trump in jail to make sure that they have a totalitarian situation.

00:30:38.300 There's nobody running against them that could beat them.

00:30:43.840 If you're taking away my free speech and putting people like me in jail, I'm at war.

00:30:50.260 Let me say it again.

00:30:52.320 I didn't start this war.

00:30:54.640 I didn't start it.

00:30:55.840 But I'm at war with the government.

00:30:57.880 Not militarily, I hope.

00:31:00.780 Not violence, I hope.

00:31:02.900 But it's a war.

00:31:05.000 It's a war.

00:31:06.720 If we lose this, we are fucked.

00:31:10.020 We are completely fucked.

00:31:14.060 And we're on the edge of losing it.

00:31:16.260 Now, I think we're going to win.

00:31:18.800 It looks bad now because, you know, the election is coming.

00:31:21.920 But I don't see any possibility of a Republican losing the next election.

00:31:28.320 Unless it's Haley, I suppose.

00:31:32.080 But even if she wins, she's a little bit warlike. 0.90

00:31:35.700 So it would be in the same place, perhaps.

00:31:39.660 Yeah.

00:31:39.840 So how in the world does the Republican candidate, whoever it might be, lose against a candidate who has created five wars the government is fighting and a sixth war against the citizens themselves, which he's fairly overt about because he does talk about MAGA being, you know, the biggest problem.

00:32:00.240 And then you look at the WEF, the World Economic Forum.

00:32:05.640 Did you see what they listed as their biggest risks in the next few years to the world, to the whole world?

00:32:15.480 The World Economic Forum did a deep dive.

00:32:19.500 And they said that the biggest risk is disinformation and misinformation.

00:32:23.900 What kind of a entity says that's the biggest risk?

00:32:30.740 Not nuclear war, not poverty, not...

00:32:34.900 Who says that?

00:32:37.080 Here's what they had, number two, extreme weather.

00:32:41.560 Number one is misinformation.

00:32:43.860 Number two is extreme weather.

00:32:47.080 What do those two have in common?

00:32:51.600 Misinformation and extreme weather.

00:32:53.020 What do they have in common?

00:32:53.900 Don't make me ask AI, damn it.

00:33:01.720 AI, can you please make a joke that involves what do climate change and misinformation have in common?

00:33:13.200 They are both examples of hot air.

00:33:18.720 Ah, ha, ha, ha, wordplay, wordplay.

00:33:21.860 Oh, my God.

00:33:25.520 Oh, my God.

00:33:26.860 Let's make it better.

00:33:28.680 Improve your joke.

00:33:32.120 Extreme weather is like a fart from Mother Nature.

00:33:35.120 Yes, that's good.

00:33:36.200 Oh, that's good.

00:33:37.280 Extreme weather is like Mother Nature farting.

00:33:39.860 All right.

00:33:50.800 All right.

00:33:51.720 All right.

00:33:53.980 But that's only number one and two.

00:33:56.560 You get to the important ones, number three.

00:33:59.140 Number three is societal polarization.

00:34:06.580 What causes the societal polarization? 0.86

00:34:12.520 Huh.

00:34:13.320 You know, I guess it kind of happens on its own, doesn't it?

00:34:17.200 You know, I was sitting around the other day,

00:34:19.080 and there was some societal polarization that came through,

00:34:22.960 like the weather.

00:34:24.020 There's nothing you can do about it.

00:34:25.680 It has nothing to do with what we're doing.

00:34:28.280 No, it has nothing to do with our policies.

00:34:31.060 It's just sort of a force.

00:34:33.400 It's like a field in science, a field.

00:34:36.580 It's just sort of always there.

00:34:38.960 Yeah.

00:34:39.740 Got that societal polarization.

00:34:43.420 All right, let me ask you a question.

00:34:45.340 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:34:47.140 who do you think was the author of this report,

00:34:50.280 a man or a woman?

00:34:51.780 Top three are misinformation, extreme weather,

00:34:54.420 and societal polarization.

00:34:56.220 War.

00:34:57.700 It was down the list.

00:35:00.280 Yeah, of course.

00:35:00.900 It was a woman. 0.60

00:35:04.000 But let me explain to you, women, 1.00

00:35:06.200 the inner life of a man.

00:35:09.520 Okay?

00:35:10.320 If you've never heard this before,

00:35:11.920 this will be shocking to you.

00:35:14.380 But turn to the closest man and ask him if it's true.

00:35:18.140 You get dressed up and go to a nice restaurant with your man.

00:35:21.040 What you're thinking is, how do I look?

00:35:26.500 How do the other people look?

00:35:28.180 What am I going to order?

00:35:30.320 You're thinking about your date.

00:35:32.620 Does my date like me?

00:35:34.180 How are we getting along?

00:35:35.020 Do you know what your date is thinking?

00:35:38.060 Let me tell you what your date is thinking.

00:35:41.000 All right.

00:35:41.880 We've got 15 men who look like they could be dangerous.

00:35:46.040 There are the exits.

00:35:47.360 What kind of things could I use as a weapon?

00:35:49.440 I've got some forks.

00:35:50.600 I don't have a steak knife yet.

00:35:52.540 I think I could take the three by the door.

00:35:55.100 The guy over there,

00:35:56.080 I'm going to have to throw something at him and just run,

00:35:59.380 unless I can get him from behind.

00:36:02.020 I think I can fight my way out of here.

00:36:06.100 Look at the comments, ladies. 1.00

00:36:09.420 We're at war all the time.

00:36:13.900 We're never not at war.

00:36:16.640 You're at war when you're talking to your best friend.

00:36:19.880 You are always at war.

00:36:21.560 It doesn't turn off.

00:36:23.200 And by the way, that's not a complaint.

00:36:25.340 If it sounds like I'm complaining, I'm not.

00:36:27.860 We're actually comfortable with that mindset.

00:36:31.300 Because we're designed that way.

00:36:33.200 It's like evolution just turned us into that,

00:36:36.320 and we just embrace it.

00:36:38.540 But look at the comments.

00:36:40.020 The comments are just all confirming.

00:36:44.380 So if a man writes what are the biggest risks,

00:36:49.120 he's going to say war.

00:36:50.400 If a man writes this report,

00:36:54.600 war, right at the top.

00:36:57.280 Do you know what's number two?

00:36:58.740 If it's a man?

00:37:01.180 Economics.

00:37:02.380 Do you know why economics is number two?

00:37:04.600 Because you can't win a fucking war

00:37:06.460 unless your economy is really, really good.

00:37:08.260 So basically, this is a DEI kind of work.

00:37:18.380 I'm not sure women should be judging risks 1.00

00:37:21.180 on a global level.

00:37:25.760 That might be the most sexist thing I've ever said,

00:37:28.640 but look at the result.

00:37:29.640 This is a pure female product. 1.00

00:37:34.460 Am I right?

00:37:35.660 This is a female product. 1.00

00:37:38.080 Yeah.

00:37:39.200 I think you need the people who live war all the time 1.00

00:37:42.600 to kind of tell you what your big risks are.

00:37:45.920 All right.

00:37:49.380 Vivek and he's campaigning hard in Iowa.

00:37:53.920 Is it my imagination or is about half

00:37:57.740 of all the news made about the election

00:38:00.180 being made by Vivek?

00:38:03.140 Is it only because that's what I see?

00:38:05.740 And people send me those tweets and stuff.

00:38:07.880 But I feel like he's doing by far,

00:38:10.260 I mean, maybe by five to one ratio,

00:38:12.520 he's doing the best job of creating positive news

00:38:15.680 for his campaign.

00:38:17.300 He creates a lot of news

00:38:18.860 and it's almost all interesting

00:38:20.800 and positive and capable.

00:38:23.540 But today, again, he's in Iowa

00:38:26.560 and he appeared with Steve King,

00:38:29.100 a retired representative from the state,

00:38:32.200 and Candace Owens.

00:38:35.280 Now, Steve King was famously driven out of office,

00:38:40.700 in a sense, by being accused

00:38:42.840 of being a white supremacist.

00:38:44.140 So now Vivek is standing there

00:38:46.860 with somebody accused of being a white supremacist

00:38:49.420 and with Candace Owens.

00:38:52.580 And he laughs.

00:38:54.880 He says that he's with these two other controversial people.

00:38:58.720 He says, what will the media write?

00:39:00.980 Will they call it the brown face of white supremacy?

00:39:06.120 Which is a good comment.

00:39:07.440 So he jokes and he says,

00:39:11.260 the media accused of Steve King of racism

00:39:13.680 and criticized me for failing to condemn,

00:39:16.700 quote, white supremacy,

00:39:18.600 whatever that means.

00:39:20.800 That's what I want to hear.

00:39:22.600 I want to hear,

00:39:23.840 after the two words,

00:39:25.340 white supremacy,

00:39:27.180 everybody who uses it,

00:39:28.620 I want to hear somebody say,

00:39:29.720 whatever that means.

00:39:31.020 Because that's the important part.

00:39:32.740 Whatever that means,

00:39:33.820 means it's subjective

00:39:34.760 and it's not a standard

00:39:35.980 which you can use

00:39:36.900 for government or anything else.

00:39:39.540 If you can't put it into words

00:39:41.060 and explain it,

00:39:42.400 it's not a standard.

00:39:44.680 You have to ignore it

00:39:45.680 and mock it end of existence,

00:39:47.500 which is what he's doing.

00:39:51.260 And then he says,

00:39:52.260 the visual image of Candace Owens,

00:39:53.900 Steve King and me on stage together yesterday

00:39:55.800 was inconvenient for their narrative.

00:39:59.560 Sure was.

00:40:01.580 Yeah.

00:40:02.220 I mean,

00:40:02.460 this little group of pirates.

00:40:05.560 Oh, by the way,

00:40:06.780 what do I always tell you

00:40:07.860 I love about Trump's entire approach?

00:40:11.180 Not just to politics,

00:40:12.640 but life itself.

00:40:14.440 I love Trump

00:40:16.340 and his pirate ship approach to life.

00:40:21.920 And what I mean is that

00:40:23.080 in both his personal life

00:40:24.580 and definitely his political life,

00:40:26.260 if you're a pirate,

00:40:27.800 but you're on his side

00:40:30.280 and you're pro-America,

00:40:33.200 let's get together, pirate.

00:40:36.820 I'm going to forgive your pirating

00:40:38.580 as long as you're pro-American

00:40:41.400 and we can work with you.

00:40:43.460 So he collects people accused

00:40:46.520 of every damn thing in the world

00:40:48.000 as his supporters,

00:40:49.560 including me,

00:40:50.440 people who have been accused

00:40:51.520 of every bad thing in the world.

00:40:52.720 And he makes that work.

00:40:56.720 And the reason Trump makes that work,

00:40:59.380 he doesn't judge them.

00:41:02.800 Just think about it.

00:41:04.880 Trump might be

00:41:06.120 the most opinionated person

00:41:08.700 you've ever met.

00:41:09.800 At the same time,

00:41:10.900 he might be the least judgmental

00:41:12.720 about just ordinary people.

00:41:15.200 He doesn't talk about

00:41:17.180 some group of citizens

00:41:18.500 being bad,

00:41:21.640 that's sort of Biden's territory.

00:41:25.000 So I like the fact that

00:41:26.520 Vivek is in that,

00:41:27.920 at least a little bit,

00:41:28.940 in that model,

00:41:30.200 that he would have

00:41:31.520 controversial people

00:41:32.760 like Steve King.

00:41:34.300 Candace, of course,

00:41:35.040 is popular among Republicans,

00:41:37.080 but also she's a lightning rod 1.00

00:41:39.020 in her party and out.

00:41:40.800 So the fact that he can

00:41:42.320 stand on stage

00:41:43.140 and have support from,

00:41:44.260 you know,

00:41:45.040 two of the pirates

00:41:45.920 is great.

00:41:49.120 I love it.

00:41:52.320 And if you have a president

00:41:53.960 who's planning

00:41:55.620 to bring the country together,

00:41:57.800 you stand on the stage

00:41:59.420 with Steve King

00:42:00.200 and Candace Owens,

00:42:01.840 and you say,

00:42:03.620 we all want what's good

00:42:04.280 for the country.

00:42:06.240 That's good stuff.

00:42:07.840 Good imagery,

00:42:08.900 good everything.

00:42:09.940 That's just good everything.

00:42:11.820 Speaking of Vivek,

00:42:13.420 there was a video

00:42:14.640 of Mike Benz

00:42:15.880 driving his car,

00:42:16.940 and I guess Mike

00:42:17.580 is in Iowa,

00:42:18.860 and Vivek's in the car

00:42:19.860 and he asked him

00:42:20.300 some questions.

00:42:22.440 And the topic was,

00:42:24.400 as Mike Benz

00:42:25.140 is the best describer

00:42:26.720 of this situation,

00:42:28.660 the government

00:42:29.400 can't censor you directly.

00:42:31.080 That would be illegal.

00:42:32.580 So instead,

00:42:33.680 the government

00:42:34.260 and all of its buddies

00:42:36.160 in the personal world,

00:42:37.740 they have lots of money.

00:42:38.440 They fund these

00:42:40.020 external organizations

00:42:41.400 that are allegedly

00:42:42.980 non-government.

00:42:44.460 They're watchdogs

00:42:45.480 and they're fact-checkers.

00:42:47.440 They're making sure

00:42:48.220 there's no misinformation,

00:42:49.740 disinformation.

00:42:51.020 But of course,

00:42:51.680 they're largely fake,

00:42:54.000 and they're just

00:42:55.100 Democrat organs

00:42:56.220 designed to

00:42:57.220 promote Democrat policies

00:42:59.480 and insult Republicans,

00:43:01.780 basically.

00:43:02.060 So Mike Benz

00:43:05.060 was asking Vivek

00:43:05.900 what he would do

00:43:06.460 about that,

00:43:07.500 and I'm going to

00:43:08.160 kind of paraphrase

00:43:09.920 a longer discussion,

00:43:12.400 but the idea was

00:43:13.500 that Vivek

00:43:14.080 would create

00:43:14.680 a report

00:43:16.000 that would

00:43:17.500 add transparency

00:43:19.040 so you could see

00:43:20.700 every instance

00:43:21.540 in which the U.S.

00:43:22.600 government

00:43:23.020 had been

00:43:24.340 or is

00:43:25.100 influencing

00:43:26.120 private industry

00:43:27.340 to do things

00:43:28.600 that the government

00:43:29.220 couldn't do directly,

00:43:30.240 and that there

00:43:32.040 would be consequences

00:43:32.940 for anybody

00:43:33.520 trying to do

00:43:34.360 an end run

00:43:35.720 to the Constitution

00:43:36.640 by using

00:43:37.940 these private companies

00:43:39.020 to do their

00:43:39.720 winged monkey business.

00:43:44.720 Now,

00:43:45.400 I don't know

00:43:46.140 how close you could get

00:43:47.520 to actually mapping

00:43:48.460 that out

00:43:49.060 and doing it fairly,

00:43:50.540 but the fact

00:43:51.340 that he's willing

00:43:52.000 to take that on,

00:43:53.880 that's huge.

00:43:57.040 I mean,

00:43:57.260 Vivek is offering you

00:43:58.660 a specific plan

00:43:59.860 to get your free speech

00:44:00.920 back.

00:44:02.080 Who did that? 0.91

00:44:04.520 Is there any Democrat

00:44:05.680 who's offering

00:44:07.140 any path

00:44:08.520 to get your free speech

00:44:10.360 back?

00:44:10.660 No,

00:44:10.860 they want to take it.

00:44:11.960 They're actually

00:44:12.460 literally telling you

00:44:14.080 that you should have

00:44:14.800 less free speech.

00:44:16.760 Well,

00:44:16.940 how about

00:44:17.420 DeSantis?

00:44:20.680 How about

00:44:21.260 Nikki Haley?

00:44:22.480 How about Trump?

00:44:24.120 Have any of them

00:44:25.000 given you

00:44:25.600 a way

00:44:26.540 that they're going

00:44:27.120 to return

00:44:27.620 your freedom

00:44:28.500 of speech?

00:44:29.800 Haven't heard it.

00:44:31.280 Haven't heard it.

00:44:32.380 What's my number

00:44:33.600 one most important

00:44:34.620 thing?

00:44:35.000 Not disinformation.

00:44:37.120 It's the ability

00:44:38.000 to say what you think.

00:44:39.780 It's free speech.

00:44:41.580 Free speech

00:44:42.220 is sort of

00:44:42.680 the,

00:44:42.920 you know,

00:44:44.420 the linchpin,

00:44:46.240 is that the right

00:44:46.780 analogy?

00:44:47.620 The thing that's

00:44:48.260 holding everything

00:44:49.400 else together,

00:44:50.280 at least in America

00:44:51.680 and in democracy

00:44:53.480 and leaning countries.

00:44:54.680 If you don't have that,

00:44:55.560 you don't have anything.

00:44:57.060 You know,

00:44:57.260 all the rest

00:44:58.020 falls apart for sure.

00:44:59.840 So Vivek

00:45:00.440 not only has

00:45:01.320 the correct

00:45:01.940 priorities,

00:45:04.140 you know,

00:45:04.280 he understands

00:45:04.920 the immense risk

00:45:06.940 of the situation,

00:45:08.200 but he also has

00:45:09.200 a very specific

00:45:10.160 and to me

00:45:11.580 it sounds very doable

00:45:12.740 plan for dismantling.

00:45:15.600 How do you beat that?

00:45:18.540 Now,

00:45:19.040 I understand

00:45:19.500 that anybody

00:45:19.940 can lose the election,

00:45:21.320 so you can beat

00:45:22.360 anybody electorally,

00:45:23.360 but who is even

00:45:24.840 in this class?

00:45:27.260 I don't think

00:45:27.980 I've seen

00:45:28.480 an election before

00:45:29.500 where

00:45:30.720 it feels like

00:45:32.360 Vivek

00:45:32.940 having a whole bunch

00:45:34.040 of good ideas

00:45:34.860 that would work,

00:45:36.320 including

00:45:36.800 reducing government

00:45:38.060 by 75%

00:45:39.340 on day one.

00:45:41.080 Yeah,

00:45:41.600 I mean,

00:45:42.260 that would be hard to do,

00:45:43.300 but if you're working

00:45:44.140 in that direction

00:45:44.880 and working hard on it,

00:45:46.440 you might get pretty close.

00:45:48.820 I would say

00:45:49.900 that he's

00:45:50.660 almost not running

00:45:51.900 against anybody.

00:45:54.260 Is he?

00:45:55.420 Because there's nobody

00:45:56.300 on the other side

00:45:57.040 of this topic

00:45:57.680 and there's not even

00:45:59.800 anybody on his side

00:46:00.660 of the topic.

00:46:02.120 And yet,

00:46:02.440 it's the most important topic.

00:46:04.300 This is number one

00:46:05.160 and he's alone.

00:46:07.900 He's literally alone

00:46:09.340 on the number one

00:46:11.180 most important thing

00:46:12.280 with a practical plan.

00:46:14.840 How the fuck

00:46:15.800 do you not vote

00:46:16.420 for that guy?

00:46:18.340 Come on.

00:46:20.080 What are you thinking?

00:46:21.040 Now,

00:46:22.860 I love Trump

00:46:23.840 and if he gets

00:46:25.320 the nomination,

00:46:26.120 I'll support him.

00:46:27.100 Of course.

00:46:28.200 You know,

00:46:28.380 against Biden,

00:46:29.240 that's a no-brainer.

00:46:31.020 But

00:46:31.260 Vivek is in a class

00:46:33.880 by himself.

00:46:35.360 If you haven't

00:46:36.100 seen it yet,

00:46:36.880 you need to pay

00:46:37.360 more attention.

00:46:39.620 You're seeing

00:46:40.540 something

00:46:41.680 that I never

00:46:42.520 thought I would see.

00:46:45.580 Do you remember

00:46:46.260 how,

00:46:46.980 well,

00:46:47.500 not remember,

00:46:48.040 but you're

00:46:48.920 certainly aware

00:46:49.540 that the founders

00:46:50.380 of the country

00:46:51.040 were not

00:46:51.540 an ordinary

00:46:52.020 group of people.

00:46:54.260 Ben Franklin

00:46:54.880 wasn't just

00:46:55.840 a normal dude.

00:46:57.940 Thomas Jefferson

00:46:58.700 wasn't just

00:47:00.180 another slave owner.

00:47:02.480 George Washington

00:47:03.400 didn't just

00:47:05.100 get lucky.

00:47:07.320 Right?

00:47:07.600 Hamilton

00:47:07.960 was a smart guy.

00:47:11.680 Right?

00:47:12.540 The founders

00:47:13.320 were special.

00:47:14.860 They were very special

00:47:16.100 and we got

00:47:17.040 amazingly lucky

00:47:18.560 that they all

00:47:19.800 happened to be

00:47:20.240 in the same place

00:47:20.940 at the same time

00:47:21.680 and on the same side.

00:47:23.080 That was real luck.

00:47:25.260 But I always said

00:47:26.100 to myself,

00:47:26.700 why will there

00:47:27.280 never be one

00:47:27.940 of those again?

00:47:28.840 Now,

00:47:29.040 part of it is

00:47:29.540 we build up

00:47:31.320 the reputations

00:47:32.100 of our heroes,

00:47:33.620 so some of it

00:47:34.220 might be hyperbole.

00:47:35.840 But

00:47:36.080 why don't we ever

00:47:37.800 get another Jefferson? 0.96

00:47:40.140 You know,

00:47:40.320 where's our,

00:47:41.060 well,

00:47:41.200 I guess we got

00:47:41.640 a Ben Franklin.

00:47:43.280 You know,

00:47:43.660 Elon Musk

00:47:44.260 is Ben Franklin

00:47:45.660 on steroids.

00:47:46.700 So I guess

00:47:47.080 we did get

00:47:47.520 a Ben Franklin.

00:47:48.900 But you know what?

00:47:50.840 We also got

00:47:51.760 a Thomas Jefferson.

00:47:53.780 We just got

00:47:54.520 to wake up.

00:47:56.840 The bank

00:47:57.200 is Thomas Jefferson.

00:47:59.140 He's not

00:47:59.740 fucking around. 0.80

00:48:01.720 He's not

00:48:02.300 looking to tweak

00:48:03.000 things.

00:48:05.020 That's what

00:48:05.620 I think

00:48:05.960 set Jefferson

00:48:06.980 apart.

00:48:08.100 He wasn't

00:48:08.800 looking to

00:48:09.460 make minor

00:48:10.200 improvements.

00:48:12.100 He's going

00:48:12.580 to do

00:48:12.800 the Louisiana

00:48:13.480 Purchase

00:48:14.040 and the

00:48:14.840 American

00:48:15.160 Revolution.

00:48:16.860 And he's,

00:48:17.240 you know,

00:48:17.420 he's going

00:48:17.680 to write

00:48:18.040 the preamble

00:48:18.740 or whatever

00:48:19.460 he wrote.

00:48:21.460 Yeah.

00:48:21.960 I think

00:48:22.340 Vivek,

00:48:24.400 and believe

00:48:25.380 it or not,

00:48:25.880 I don't

00:48:26.380 think this

00:48:26.900 is hyperbole.

00:48:28.860 As

00:48:28.940 outrageous

00:48:29.960 as this

00:48:30.580 is going

00:48:30.780 to sound,

00:48:32.540 he is

00:48:32.880 Thomas Jefferson

00:48:33.680 for 2024.

00:48:35.320 If we

00:48:36.040 let him

00:48:36.900 go,

00:48:38.320 my God,

00:48:39.320 my God,

00:48:40.920 why would

00:48:42.660 you let

00:48:42.940 him go?

00:48:45.040 Well,

00:48:45.540 you know,

00:48:45.740 Trump is a

00:48:46.220 force of

00:48:46.580 nature,

00:48:47.020 and that's

00:48:47.300 probably

00:48:47.520 going to

00:48:47.740 happen.

00:48:48.420 If you're

00:48:49.280 going to

00:48:49.380 play the

00:48:49.760 odds,

00:48:50.420 it's going

00:48:50.680 to be

00:48:50.820 Trump.

00:48:52.240 But,

00:48:53.700 man,

00:48:54.940 don't let

00:48:55.620 that go.

00:48:58.000 So,

00:48:58.720 what else

00:48:59.400 is going

00:48:59.700 on?

00:49:00.520 Let's

00:49:00.740 see.

00:49:03.360 Peter

00:49:03.680 Sweden

00:49:04.080 reports on

00:49:05.100 the X

00:49:05.380 platform

00:49:05.740 that the

00:49:07.360 World Economic

00:49:08.020 Forum,

00:49:08.580 again,

00:49:09.880 has announced

00:49:10.520 that they're

00:49:10.760 holding a

00:49:11.140 meeting to

00:49:11.560 prepare for

00:49:12.180 what they

00:49:12.480 call disease

00:49:13.320 X.

00:49:15.960 They're

00:49:16.440 holding a

00:49:16.840 meeting to

00:49:17.440 figure out

00:49:17.840 how to

00:49:18.100 deal with

00:49:18.560 disease X,

00:49:20.340 which they

00:49:20.960 say could

00:49:21.620 be 20

00:49:23.800 times worse

00:49:24.720 than COVID.

00:49:27.620 Now,

00:49:28.220 if you read

00:49:28.720 this quickly,

00:49:30.560 you probably

00:49:31.020 think to

00:49:31.460 yourself,

00:49:32.280 hey,

00:49:32.520 they're worried

00:49:32.940 about another

00:49:33.420 virus.

00:49:35.200 But,

00:49:35.500 have I ever

00:49:35.800 taught you,

00:49:37.220 and I'm

00:49:37.740 sure that's

00:49:38.760 what they'll

00:49:39.040 talk about,

00:49:39.680 is viruses.

00:49:40.520 But,

00:49:41.240 have I ever

00:49:41.540 taught you

00:49:41.960 the hypnotist

00:49:43.640 trick for

00:49:44.880 reading minds?

00:49:47.100 The hypnotist

00:49:48.280 trick is that

00:49:49.540 when people

00:49:50.020 choose their

00:49:50.800 words,

00:49:52.500 that's more

00:49:53.080 revealing than

00:49:54.080 what those

00:49:55.320 words say

00:49:55.980 when they're

00:49:56.340 in a

00:49:56.600 sentence.

00:49:57.800 So,

00:49:58.300 when they

00:49:58.560 form the

00:49:59.400 sentences,

00:50:00.400 they're trying

00:50:01.420 to tell you

00:50:02.120 what they

00:50:02.660 want you

00:50:02.960 to believe.

00:50:04.180 When they

00:50:04.940 choose the

00:50:05.480 words that

00:50:06.780 are in the

00:50:07.200 sentence,

00:50:07.620 they're

00:50:09.160 often telling

00:50:09.900 you what

00:50:10.260 they're

00:50:10.440 thinking,

00:50:11.060 but they're

00:50:12.480 not aware

00:50:13.080 of it.

00:50:14.180 That would

00:50:14.700 be like a 0.54

00:50:15.140 Freudian slip.

00:50:16.460 The example

00:50:17.300 my hypnosis

00:50:18.100 instructor gave

00:50:18.940 me,

00:50:19.320 and I use

00:50:19.880 this all

00:50:20.220 the time,

00:50:20.840 is if you're

00:50:21.280 on a date,

00:50:22.000 it's a new

00:50:22.940 date,

00:50:23.440 you don't

00:50:24.180 know the

00:50:24.460 person,

00:50:25.220 and your

00:50:25.620 date says

00:50:26.080 to you,

00:50:26.640 instead of

00:50:27.100 saying,

00:50:27.480 I'm famished

00:50:28.200 before you

00:50:29.220 go to

00:50:29.520 dinner,

00:50:30.420 she

00:50:30.600 accidentally

00:50:31.100 says,

00:50:31.600 I'm ravished.

00:50:32.320 That was

00:50:34.060 actually an

00:50:34.920 example that

00:50:35.540 my hypnosis

00:50:37.340 instructor gave

00:50:38.160 us.

00:50:38.780 She's telling

00:50:39.340 you,

00:50:40.440 the sentence

00:50:41.200 tells you

00:50:41.980 she's hungry,

00:50:43.140 but the

00:50:43.800 word choice

00:50:44.460 tells you

00:50:45.380 she's horny, 1.00

00:50:47.020 and that

00:50:48.280 is usually

00:50:48.960 accurate.

00:50:51.080 Check the

00:50:51.660 word choice.

00:50:53.040 The sentence

00:50:53.620 says they're

00:50:54.540 getting together

00:50:55.160 to hold a

00:50:55.680 meeting to

00:50:57.640 talk about

00:50:58.200 the next

00:50:58.620 big virus

00:50:59.200 that might

00:50:59.520 be worse.

00:51:00.960 That's what

00:51:01.600 their sentences

00:51:02.300 say.

00:51:03.840 But what

00:51:04.200 did they

00:51:04.460 decide to

00:51:04.980 call it?

00:51:07.220 Disease X.

00:51:10.180 Do you

00:51:10.460 know what

00:51:10.720 the World

00:51:11.080 Economic

00:51:11.600 Forum's

00:51:12.320 biggest

00:51:13.660 problem is

00:51:14.560 that's 20

00:51:16.080 times bigger

00:51:16.700 than COVID

00:51:17.240 for the

00:51:18.280 World Economic

00:51:18.980 Forum?

00:51:21.540 It's Elon

00:51:22.040 Musk,

00:51:23.580 his free

00:51:24.080 speech,

00:51:25.060 that exists

00:51:26.320 in exactly

00:51:27.020 one place

00:51:27.660 in the

00:51:27.920 world right

00:51:28.380 now,

00:51:29.040 on the

00:51:29.400 X

00:51:29.740 platform.

00:51:30.180 so yes,

00:51:32.280 for the

00:51:32.840 World Economic

00:51:33.580 Forum,

00:51:34.220 for them

00:51:34.580 personally,

00:51:36.740 Elon Musk's

00:51:37.700 X platform

00:51:38.580 is 20

00:51:39.820 times worse

00:51:40.520 than COVID.

00:51:43.300 Literally,

00:51:44.820 literally,

00:51:46.380 it's 20

00:51:46.900 times worse

00:51:47.480 than COVID

00:51:47.980 for the

00:51:49.000 members of

00:51:49.540 the WEF,

00:51:51.180 personally.

00:51:53.640 Because I'll

00:51:54.480 bet almost

00:51:55.020 none of them

00:51:55.500 died from

00:51:55.920 COVID,

00:51:56.240 but their

00:51:58.860 reputations

00:51:59.520 are getting

00:52:00.500 trampled

00:52:01.440 on every

00:52:01.840 day on

00:52:02.220 X.

00:52:05.300 So I

00:52:06.540 don't think

00:52:06.980 it's an

00:52:07.280 accident that

00:52:08.040 X is

00:52:08.960 used in

00:52:09.420 that.

00:52:09.720 Now,

00:52:09.900 you might

00:52:10.120 say to

00:52:10.480 me,

00:52:10.740 and you

00:52:10.980 probably

00:52:11.240 do,

00:52:12.020 but Scott,

00:52:12.800 they came

00:52:13.560 up with

00:52:13.880 that phrasing

00:52:14.580 long before

00:52:16.160 the X

00:52:16.740 platform and

00:52:17.560 long before

00:52:18.100 Elon Musk.

00:52:18.980 That might

00:52:19.460 be true,

00:52:20.440 but you know

00:52:21.020 what else is

00:52:21.480 true?

00:52:22.300 They had

00:52:22.900 plenty of

00:52:23.380 time to

00:52:23.740 rename it.

00:52:24.340 They had

00:52:26.280 plenty of

00:52:27.140 time to

00:52:27.560 give it

00:52:27.820 another

00:52:28.140 letter,

00:52:29.340 so it's

00:52:30.140 not associated

00:52:31.220 with,

00:52:32.380 and they

00:52:32.740 didn't,

00:52:33.440 so it

00:52:33.720 probably

00:52:33.920 means

00:52:34.180 something.

00:52:35.360 All right,

00:52:35.560 here's

00:52:35.720 another

00:52:35.980 Vivek

00:52:36.520 news-making

00:52:37.320 thing.

00:52:37.740 He makes

00:52:38.020 a prediction,

00:52:39.060 and he's

00:52:39.780 a little

00:52:40.200 more specific

00:52:40.900 this time.

00:52:42.220 He says,

00:52:42.720 here's the

00:52:43.100 plot,

00:52:43.780 so he's

00:52:44.180 literally

00:52:44.600 predicting

00:52:45.100 this.

00:52:46.340 Number

00:52:46.540 one,

00:52:46.900 narrow this

00:52:47.340 to a

00:52:47.580 two-horse

00:52:47.960 race between

00:52:48.560 Trump and

00:52:49.520 a puppet

00:52:49.960 they can

00:52:50.440 control.

00:52:52.020 Two,

00:52:52.500 eliminate

00:52:52.860 Trump.

00:52:53.760 That leaves

00:52:54.280 you with

00:52:54.600 the puppet,

00:52:55.420 and then

00:52:56.000 trot their

00:52:56.360 puppet into

00:52:56.820 the White

00:52:57.140 House.

00:52:59.100 And then

00:52:59.420 he says,

00:53:00.200 next up,

00:53:00.940 this is his

00:53:01.540 prediction,

00:53:02.040 next up,

00:53:02.820 Ron DeSantis

00:53:03.480 joins

00:53:03.960 Nikki Haley's

00:53:04.820 ticket as

00:53:05.300 VP.

00:53:06.040 Whoa.

00:53:09.480 Okay,

00:53:10.320 and then

00:53:10.920 Ron may

00:53:11.440 not know

00:53:11.820 it yet,

00:53:12.280 but he

00:53:12.560 won't have

00:53:12.940 a say

00:53:13.280 in the

00:53:13.580 matter.

00:53:15.000 So

00:53:15.220 Vivek is

00:53:16.300 claiming that

00:53:17.860 there are

00:53:18.440 powers behind

00:53:19.520 the curtain

00:53:20.060 so strong

00:53:21.380 that they

00:53:22.440 can manipulate

00:53:23.580 this situation

00:53:24.900 into being,

00:53:26.380 which would

00:53:26.860 put Nikki

00:53:28.220 Haley,

00:53:29.700 who many

00:53:30.180 say is a

00:53:30.940 neocon,

00:53:31.840 war-loving

00:53:32.580 spender,

00:53:34.440 in charge

00:53:35.820 with Ron

00:53:36.460 DeSantis,

00:53:38.220 sort of

00:53:38.720 denutered by

00:53:39.900 putting him,

00:53:40.800 you know,

00:53:41.020 basically they

00:53:41.600 get him out

00:53:41.980 of Florida

00:53:42.400 and they

00:53:43.660 neuter him 0.95

00:53:44.500 by making

00:53:44.940 him a

00:53:45.220 vice

00:53:45.420 president.

00:53:48.160 I don't

00:53:48.780 think there's

00:53:49.120 any chance

00:53:49.600 of that.

00:53:50.880 I don't

00:53:51.460 think there's

00:53:51.840 any chance

00:53:52.440 of DeSantis

00:53:52.980 being a

00:53:53.540 vice president

00:53:54.080 for Nikki

00:53:54.600 Haley.

00:53:55.240 What do

00:53:55.440 you think?

00:53:58.000 Part of it

00:53:58.660 is the

00:53:59.000 age situation

00:54:00.040 because DeSantis

00:54:02.020 is young

00:54:02.620 enough that

00:54:04.680 if Trump

00:54:05.700 were not

00:54:06.160 in the race,

00:54:08.040 he would

00:54:08.500 be an

00:54:08.780 obvious

00:54:09.140 frontrunner

00:54:09.760 and Trump

00:54:11.320 only has

00:54:11.720 four years

00:54:12.260 maximum

00:54:12.700 left.

00:54:14.100 So if

00:54:14.460 you're

00:54:14.600 Vivek,

00:54:16.000 going into

00:54:16.760 the vice

00:54:17.120 presidency

00:54:17.560 where only

00:54:18.220 bad can

00:54:18.740 happen,

00:54:20.280 I'm sorry,

00:54:21.260 if you're

00:54:21.640 DeSantis,

00:54:22.540 going into

00:54:23.560 a vice

00:54:23.920 presidency

00:54:24.380 where only

00:54:25.080 bad can

00:54:25.620 happen

00:54:26.060 versus

00:54:28.560 running

00:54:29.000 Florida

00:54:29.420 and continuing

00:54:30.140 to be

00:54:30.680 one of the

00:54:32.020 best two

00:54:32.720 governors

00:54:33.120 with Abbott,

00:54:35.300 I think

00:54:35.820 DeSantis'

00:54:36.640 strategy would

00:54:37.380 be better.

00:54:38.440 Now,

00:54:38.760 what Vivek is

00:54:39.440 saying very

00:54:40.040 directly is

00:54:41.220 that even

00:54:41.620 if DeSantis

00:54:42.160 wanted not

00:54:43.440 to be

00:54:43.740 vice

00:54:43.980 president,

00:54:45.020 that the

00:54:45.380 powers that

00:54:45.880 be would

00:54:46.300 force him

00:54:47.240 into it.

00:54:49.460 Now,

00:54:49.880 that's a

00:54:50.320 bold prediction.

00:54:52.060 That's some

00:54:52.780 bold prediction

00:54:53.540 there.

00:54:54.820 Now,

00:54:55.440 remember,

00:54:56.100 predictions are

00:54:56.780 not always

00:54:57.420 just predictions.

00:54:59.220 Sometimes a

00:54:59.940 prediction,

00:55:00.820 and I use

00:55:01.860 them this way

00:55:02.400 myself,

00:55:03.260 is a way to

00:55:04.140 tamp down

00:55:04.740 the actual

00:55:05.340 possibility.

00:55:06.900 So if you

00:55:07.480 predict something

00:55:08.160 bad is going

00:55:08.700 to happen

00:55:09.040 before the

00:55:09.620 bad people

00:55:10.100 make it

00:55:10.500 happen,

00:55:11.480 it suppresses

00:55:12.640 their,

00:55:13.220 let's say,

00:55:13.880 their freedom

00:55:14.300 to do it

00:55:15.000 because you've

00:55:15.740 called it

00:55:16.120 in advance.

00:55:17.240 So Vivek

00:55:17.960 is poisoning,

00:55:19.400 he's poisoning

00:55:20.060 the well,

00:55:21.100 salting the

00:55:21.660 field,

00:55:22.500 and making

00:55:22.840 it harder

00:55:23.380 for what

00:55:24.840 he speculates

00:55:26.620 could be

00:55:27.100 the plan,

00:55:28.520 he's making

00:55:29.100 it harder

00:55:29.420 for them

00:55:29.740 to do it

00:55:30.260 because if

00:55:30.700 they do

00:55:31.000 it exactly

00:55:31.680 the way

00:55:32.060 he calls

00:55:32.500 it out,

00:55:33.840 it kind

00:55:34.600 of,

00:55:35.100 you know,

00:55:35.880 shows the

00:55:36.380 whole op.

00:55:39.020 So I do

00:55:39.860 love the

00:55:40.440 prediction as

00:55:41.500 a poisoning

00:55:43.780 the well

00:55:44.400 plan,

00:55:46.760 I predict

00:55:47.660 against

00:55:48.280 DeSantis

00:55:49.040 being vice

00:55:49.740 president

00:55:50.100 to Nikki

00:55:50.580 Haley.

00:55:51.780 So I'm

00:55:52.500 going to

00:55:52.640 go the

00:55:52.880 other way

00:55:53.200 prediction

00:55:53.580 wise,

00:55:54.260 but I

00:55:54.540 understand

00:55:54.960 why he

00:55:55.280 would make

00:55:55.560 the prediction.

00:55:56.840 You know,

00:55:57.040 think of it

00:55:57.660 more as

00:55:58.340 positioning and

00:56:00.480 priming and

00:56:01.540 not exactly

00:56:02.940 a prediction.

00:56:05.220 All right,

00:56:05.900 so we've

00:56:06.380 heard now,

00:56:07.080 you probably

00:56:07.380 heard this,

00:56:08.040 that Fauci

00:56:08.520 finally admitted

00:56:09.220 that the

00:56:10.080 whole six

00:56:10.680 foot

00:56:10.880 distancing

00:56:11.420 rule was

00:56:12.260 not based

00:56:12.680 on science

00:56:13.240 or as

00:56:14.720 he says,

00:56:15.180 it just

00:56:15.460 sort of

00:56:15.800 appeared.

00:56:17.060 It sort

00:56:17.720 of just

00:56:18.040 appeared.

00:56:19.800 We literally

00:56:21.160 organized our

00:56:22.120 entire lives

00:56:23.120 around staying

00:56:24.220 six foot away

00:56:24.940 from people

00:56:25.440 and there was

00:56:26.040 no basis

00:56:26.520 for it at

00:56:27.020 all.

00:56:28.120 People aren't 0.94

00:56:28.780 even sure

00:56:29.140 where it

00:56:29.400 came from.

00:56:30.240 I don't

00:56:30.520 even know

00:56:30.720 where it

00:56:30.860 came from,

00:56:31.200 it just

00:56:31.400 sort of

00:56:31.680 appeared.

00:56:33.100 Now,

00:56:33.400 on the

00:56:33.580 other hand,

00:56:34.680 it also

00:56:35.280 wasn't

00:56:35.620 crazy.

00:56:36.060 Doesn't

00:56:39.280 it feel

00:56:39.660 reasonable

00:56:40.280 to you

00:56:40.760 that if

00:56:41.860 you're six

00:56:42.300 feet away

00:56:42.700 from somebody

00:56:43.300 you have

00:56:43.940 less chance

00:56:44.480 of getting

00:56:44.800 their virus?

00:56:47.240 I mean,

00:56:47.440 it doesn't

00:56:47.720 sound crazy.

00:56:48.960 It just

00:56:49.280 wasn't

00:56:49.540 based on

00:56:49.940 science.

00:56:54.440 All right.

00:56:56.440 Challenge

00:56:56.920 accepted.

00:56:58.280 Challenge

00:56:58.720 accepted.

00:57:02.060 You're

00:57:02.540 going to

00:57:02.840 find out

00:57:03.800 about that.

00:57:06.060 All right.

00:57:08.040 The IG

00:57:08.580 reports that

00:57:09.440 the Pentagon

00:57:09.840 failed to

00:57:10.460 account more

00:57:10.840 than a

00:57:11.080 billion dollars

00:57:11.620 in weapons

00:57:12.100 sent to

00:57:12.520 Ukraine.

00:57:14.180 Is there

00:57:15.020 anything we

00:57:15.800 keep track

00:57:16.340 of besides

00:57:16.960 DEI in

00:57:19.960 this country?

00:57:21.380 We've lost

00:57:22.200 everything from

00:57:22.900 laptops to

00:57:23.940 billions of

00:57:24.600 dollars in

00:57:25.060 Ukraine and

00:57:25.920 billions of

00:57:27.220 pieces of

00:57:27.740 equipment and

00:57:28.640 billions now.

00:57:31.840 I feel like

00:57:32.860 the only thing

00:57:34.240 we don't keep

00:57:34.940 track, well,

00:57:35.680 the only thing

00:57:36.160 we do keep

00:57:36.760 track of is

00:57:38.260 do we have

00:57:38.700 too many

00:57:39.040 white men?

00:57:40.960 I'm glad that

00:57:41.720 we know

00:57:41.980 exactly the

00:57:42.980 number of

00:57:43.460 too many

00:57:43.860 white men

00:57:44.300 we have in

00:57:44.780 the country.

00:57:46.240 Wouldn't it

00:57:46.540 be nice to

00:57:47.000 know where

00:57:47.740 our taxes

00:57:48.520 went?

00:57:49.720 Yeah,

00:57:50.120 that would

00:57:50.360 be nice.

00:57:53.620 All right.

00:57:54.300 Because you

00:57:54.880 challenged me,

00:57:56.120 you're going

00:57:56.700 to get it.

00:57:59.040 I think I'm

00:57:59.780 going to wait

00:58:00.060 on this.

00:58:00.520 so Bill

00:58:03.640 Ackman is 0.99

00:58:06.840 talking about

00:58:07.340 a lawsuit by

00:58:08.220 a bunch of

00:58:08.740 students on

00:58:09.540 Harvard and

00:58:10.480 they're suing

00:58:11.160 Harvard for

00:58:12.300 being a racist

00:58:13.320 place that is

00:58:14.720 not protecting

00:58:15.380 them from

00:58:15.920 massive

00:58:16.480 anti-Semitism.

00:58:18.140 And according

00:58:18.500 to Bill, the

00:58:19.220 claim is really

00:58:20.160 strong.

00:58:20.640 He expects

00:58:21.100 them to win

00:58:21.720 against Harvard.

00:58:24.160 And I just

00:58:26.060 did a quick

00:58:26.780 reading of

00:58:27.440 the complaint.

00:58:28.980 It's pretty

00:58:30.040 strong.

00:58:31.500 It's a strong

00:58:32.320 complaint.

00:58:33.480 I don't know

00:58:33.940 how any judge

00:58:35.200 or jury would

00:58:36.720 imagine that

00:58:37.400 their allegations

00:58:38.220 are not

00:58:38.920 effectively true.

00:58:41.080 I mean, maybe

00:58:41.700 in some detail

00:58:42.420 or something,

00:58:43.140 but directionally,

00:58:44.900 yes, absolutely

00:58:45.960 true.

00:58:47.140 Absolutely true.

00:58:48.660 So that's

00:58:50.240 interesting.

00:58:50.680 So it's

00:58:54.040 another bad

00:58:54.600 day for

00:58:55.140 Harvard.

00:58:56.580 But let's

00:58:56.980 see how

00:58:57.340 things are

00:58:57.820 doing in

00:58:58.360 other places.

00:59:00.880 Well, let

00:59:01.980 me ask you

00:59:02.320 this question.

00:59:03.540 Imagine you

00:59:04.100 were a CEO

00:59:04.700 of a major

00:59:05.840 American company

00:59:06.760 and you've

00:59:09.420 got a DEI

00:59:10.400 group in

00:59:11.340 your company

00:59:11.840 and you're

00:59:12.760 watching Harvard

00:59:13.460 being sued

00:59:14.360 because the

00:59:16.300 DEI has

00:59:17.840 caused the

00:59:18.500 discrimination

00:59:19.180 and the

00:59:19.680 anti-Semitism.

00:59:20.680 and the

00:59:21.860 suit looks

00:59:22.320 strong like

00:59:23.220 they're going

00:59:23.560 to win.

00:59:24.720 And Harvard

00:59:25.840 has been

00:59:26.360 disgraced with

00:59:27.880 their over-DEI

00:59:29.100 stuff and

00:59:30.440 ruined their

00:59:30.940 reputation for

00:59:32.520 who knows

00:59:33.220 how long.

00:59:34.440 Now, you're a

00:59:35.020 CEO of a

00:59:35.620 company and

00:59:36.600 you're doing

00:59:37.000 exactly the

00:59:37.840 strategy, a

00:59:39.380 DEI group,

00:59:40.660 and putting a

00:59:41.280 focus on it,

00:59:42.080 the same

00:59:42.560 strategy that

00:59:43.900 literally is

00:59:44.780 destroying the

00:59:45.800 most respected

00:59:46.700 upper education

00:59:48.500 facility in

00:59:50.640 the world and

00:59:51.820 the whole

00:59:52.080 world, and

00:59:54.240 you're a

00:59:54.560 CEO and

00:59:55.620 you're doing

00:59:55.940 the same

00:59:56.600 plan that

00:59:58.280 you're watching

00:59:58.980 destroy Harvard

01:00:00.540 in real time.

01:00:02.240 How do you

01:00:02.840 justify that?

01:00:04.680 Fear, because

01:00:06.120 you know if you

01:00:06.540 cancel the DEI,

01:00:07.400 you'll get

01:00:07.660 canceled.

01:00:08.860 I can't imagine

01:00:10.220 anything worse

01:00:10.860 than this.

01:00:11.640 If you're a 0.88

01:00:12.100 CEO, this has

01:00:13.280 got to be

01:00:13.740 embarrassing to

01:00:15.420 be doing the

01:00:16.000 same policy

01:00:16.860 that is

01:00:17.840 destroying

01:00:18.500 Harvard.

01:00:19.300 While you

01:00:19.700 watch, while

01:00:21.120 you watch.

01:00:23.340 Amazing.

01:00:24.900 All right,

01:00:26.340 End Wokeness

01:00:27.160 is reporting.

01:00:28.580 This is an

01:00:29.000 exclusive from

01:00:30.260 End Wokeness,

01:00:31.220 the Count on

01:00:31.700 X.

01:00:33.880 In the

01:00:34.520 Denver Public

01:00:35.200 Schools, there

01:00:35.720 was an internal

01:00:36.500 memo sent to

01:00:37.980 staff and

01:00:38.380 teachers at

01:00:38.880 Denver Public

01:00:39.400 Schools with

01:00:41.060 the Black

01:00:41.660 Excellence Pledge.

01:00:43.780 And included in

01:00:44.520 the pledge was

01:00:47.580 that they want

01:00:49.320 people to

01:00:49.820 understand the

01:00:50.520 prevalence and

01:00:51.140 deep harm

01:00:51.600 whiteness brings

01:00:52.580 to students,

01:00:54.320 equity-based

01:00:55.300 revisions to

01:00:56.220 curriculum, so

01:00:57.820 they want the

01:00:58.220 curriculum changed

01:00:59.040 so it's more

01:00:59.580 equity-based, and

01:01:00.820 working to

01:01:01.460 dismantle the

01:01:02.200 system that

01:01:03.240 allows certain

01:01:04.000 students to

01:01:04.660 excel and

01:01:05.260 others to

01:01:05.780 perish.

01:01:07.280 And that it

01:01:07.700 also states that

01:01:08.420 all whites are 0.99

01:01:09.040 racist and

01:01:10.140 perpetuate racist

01:01:11.220 ideologies,

01:01:12.640 policies, and

01:01:13.340 practices.

01:01:14.520 So, that's

01:01:18.360 less than

01:01:18.880 ideal.

01:01:20.580 That's less

01:01:21.460 than ideal.

01:01:23.960 How much

01:01:25.600 do you need a

01:01:26.080 Republican

01:01:26.500 president now?

01:01:29.480 It's like we're

01:01:30.380 going to be

01:01:30.700 begging for

01:01:31.240 one.

01:01:32.140 We're going to

01:01:32.320 be begging for

01:01:32.980 it.

01:01:34.280 All right.

01:01:34.580 So, Brett

01:01:38.800 Weinstein

01:01:40.200 announced today

01:01:41.840 that he's

01:01:42.240 removing a

01:01:43.860 very early

01:01:44.520 post that he

01:01:45.260 made in the

01:01:45.760 beginning of

01:01:46.140 the pandemic,

01:01:46.620 in which he

01:01:48.060 had argued

01:01:48.580 that the

01:01:49.920 requirement,

01:01:51.980 you know, the

01:01:52.360 mandatory

01:01:52.840 masking, was

01:01:54.360 no big

01:01:54.820 deal, and

01:01:56.360 if it might

01:01:56.980 help, it

01:01:58.640 would be no

01:01:59.140 harder than

01:01:59.740 washing your

01:02:00.280 hands, and

01:02:00.760 that's pretty

01:02:01.160 reasonable

01:02:01.560 anyway.

01:02:03.900 Now, remember,

01:02:05.500 context matters.

01:02:07.200 This is the

01:02:07.800 beginning of the

01:02:08.440 pandemic, when

01:02:09.700 nobody knew

01:02:10.360 exactly how bad

01:02:11.280 things were, or

01:02:12.960 if for sure,

01:02:14.120 masks worked.

01:02:15.680 Now, there was

01:02:16.140 an argument that

01:02:16.940 the masks don't

01:02:18.000 stop the virus

01:02:18.760 because the

01:02:19.120 virus is too

01:02:19.860 small, but

01:02:21.120 that hadn't

01:02:21.700 been, you

01:02:22.660 know, studied

01:02:23.200 in a way that

01:02:24.400 you could know

01:02:24.880 for sure.

01:02:26.240 So I would

01:02:26.880 agree that

01:02:27.400 Brett was

01:02:28.580 accurate in

01:02:30.360 his initial

01:02:31.320 statement, that

01:02:32.840 if everything's

01:02:33.760 up for grabs,

01:02:35.100 we don't know

01:02:35.720 anything, because

01:02:37.080 it's the

01:02:37.340 beginning of

01:02:37.720 the pandemic,

01:02:38.620 and it looks

01:02:39.580 like it could

01:02:40.100 be the worst

01:02:40.560 thing that ever

01:02:40.980 happened to

01:02:41.460 the world.

01:02:42.020 It turns out

01:02:42.440 it wasn't, but

01:02:44.020 in the early

01:02:44.460 part, it looked

01:02:45.160 like it could

01:02:45.680 be much, much

01:02:46.580 worse than

01:02:47.660 we eventually

01:02:48.240 learned it was,

01:02:48.880 as bad as it

01:02:49.460 was.

01:02:50.060 Millions died,

01:02:50.920 but it could

01:02:51.180 have been worse.

01:02:51.580 So I would

01:02:53.760 say, and

01:02:55.340 Brett is

01:02:56.380 getting rid of

01:02:56.860 the tweet, the

01:02:58.280 post, not

01:02:58.960 because he's

01:02:59.880 changed his

01:03:00.600 mind about

01:03:02.220 what made

01:03:02.820 sense in the

01:03:03.460 beginning, but

01:03:04.620 because people

01:03:05.340 are having

01:03:05.680 trouble distinguishing

01:03:06.820 the early

01:03:08.080 opinion from

01:03:08.840 what made

01:03:09.720 sense once you

01:03:10.440 learn more.

01:03:12.260 So he's

01:03:12.740 deleting it, but

01:03:13.420 he's doing it

01:03:13.940 publicly and

01:03:14.660 telling you he's

01:03:15.200 doing it because

01:03:15.820 he's tired of

01:03:18.020 explaining himself.

01:03:19.880 I'm okay with

01:03:20.480 that.

01:03:20.680 I'm going to

01:03:21.600 back him on

01:03:22.060 this.

01:03:23.400 So I'm going

01:03:24.000 to back him

01:03:24.600 on removing

01:03:25.360 the tweet.

01:03:25.960 He's doing it

01:03:26.460 publicly, so he's

01:03:27.280 telling you he's

01:03:27.720 doing it.

01:03:28.020 He's telling you

01:03:28.420 why.

01:03:28.820 It's a good

01:03:29.100 reason.

01:03:29.940 And his

01:03:30.360 initial opinion,

01:03:31.280 he says he's

01:03:32.680 modified and

01:03:35.080 thinks his

01:03:35.620 initial opinion

01:03:36.320 was off base.

01:03:38.180 What else do

01:03:38.960 you want?

01:03:41.180 Is there

01:03:41.700 anything else

01:03:42.120 you want?

01:03:44.020 To me, that's

01:03:44.820 a perfect

01:03:45.200 opinion.

01:03:46.680 A perfect

01:03:47.440 opinion.

01:03:48.820 I got it

01:03:49.240 wrong, but

01:03:50.560 it was in a

01:03:51.120 period where

01:03:51.720 it was a

01:03:52.040 fog of war,

01:03:52.680 so people

01:03:53.140 were guessing.

01:03:54.480 Now I'm

01:03:55.140 updating it.

01:03:55.840 I'm telling

01:03:56.160 you what I'm

01:03:56.560 doing.

01:03:57.380 That's

01:03:57.640 everything

01:03:57.960 right.

01:03:59.120 Do you

01:03:59.360 agree?

01:04:01.560 I want

01:04:02.380 to hear if

01:04:02.700 you're, I

01:04:03.540 got no.

01:04:04.640 So you're

01:04:05.080 disagreeing

01:04:05.860 because his

01:04:06.860 initial opinion

01:04:07.800 we knew

01:04:09.380 later was

01:04:10.040 wrong.

01:04:11.120 Is that

01:04:11.460 your standard?

01:04:12.680 What kind

01:04:13.000 of standard

01:04:13.440 is that?

01:04:15.200 Too little,

01:04:15.980 too late.

01:04:16.480 He was

01:04:18.020 one of the

01:04:18.400 major, he

01:04:19.640 was one of

01:04:20.060 the major

01:04:20.540 voices against

01:04:21.520 the mandatory

01:04:22.720 everything.

01:04:23.820 That was

01:04:24.440 too little.

01:04:25.480 He literally

01:04:26.000 sacrificed his

01:04:27.160 career for it.

01:04:29.280 You're pretty

01:04:29.960 tough graders

01:04:31.080 here.

01:04:32.360 Is it my

01:04:32.860 job to

01:04:33.300 defend him?

01:04:34.960 Because I'm

01:04:35.580 going to have

01:04:35.940 to.

01:04:37.680 No.

01:04:38.540 You want

01:04:39.360 more of

01:04:39.900 him.

01:04:41.100 I was

01:04:41.420 listening to

01:04:41.900 him on

01:04:42.280 Tucker, and

01:04:43.560 I was really

01:04:44.840 taken.

01:04:45.560 by how

01:04:47.640 well he

01:04:48.060 explains

01:04:48.580 complicated

01:04:49.100 things.

01:04:50.380 He really

01:04:50.800 is a

01:04:51.120 treasure.

01:04:52.280 Now, whether

01:04:52.660 you agree

01:04:53.140 with him

01:04:53.580 is a separate

01:04:54.660 question.

01:04:55.200 I'm going

01:04:55.420 to give

01:04:55.960 you a little

01:04:56.280 disagreement

01:04:56.780 later.

01:04:58.200 But his

01:04:58.740 ability to

01:04:59.440 explain a

01:04:59.960 complicated

01:05:00.360 thing is

01:05:00.920 unparalleled.

01:05:02.340 I mean,

01:05:02.600 it's just

01:05:02.960 the best.

01:05:04.160 And his

01:05:05.960 bravery of

01:05:08.480 bucking the

01:05:09.360 system, A

01:05:10.600 plus.

01:05:12.620 So, and

01:05:14.100 in his

01:05:14.620 dedication to

01:05:15.540 following the

01:05:16.280 data, as

01:05:17.020 he sees it,

01:05:17.740 again, you

01:05:18.260 could disagree.

01:05:19.200 But his

01:05:19.740 dedication to

01:05:20.500 following the

01:05:20.960 data where

01:05:21.460 it went,

01:05:23.280 perfect.

01:05:24.700 Perfect.

01:05:25.740 Yeah.

01:05:26.300 You know, you

01:05:26.800 could say

01:05:27.560 people like

01:05:28.120 him made

01:05:28.560 some early

01:05:29.040 mistakes, maybe

01:05:29.920 you think they

01:05:30.360 still made

01:05:30.780 some mistakes,

01:05:31.500 that's fair.

01:05:32.620 But you

01:05:33.260 want more of

01:05:33.980 him, not

01:05:34.360 less.

01:05:35.860 It's like

01:05:36.220 free speech.

01:05:37.420 We want

01:05:38.060 more free

01:05:38.560 speech, even

01:05:39.140 though people

01:05:39.580 say crazy

01:05:40.120 stuff.

01:05:41.000 You need

01:05:41.600 more brett.

01:05:42.220 more brett.

01:05:44.480 Even if he

01:05:45.220 gets one

01:05:45.660 wrong, you

01:05:46.200 need more

01:05:46.540 of them.

01:05:47.720 All right.

01:05:48.140 Now I'm

01:05:48.620 going to

01:05:48.820 disagree with

01:05:49.380 him.

01:05:50.820 I primed

01:05:51.700 you just

01:05:52.020 right.

01:05:53.280 So here's

01:05:54.040 something that

01:05:54.700 Brett said.

01:05:57.920 He said he

01:05:58.760 was initially

01:05:59.300 in favor of

01:05:59.960 the mask

01:06:00.380 because it

01:06:01.760 seemed like

01:06:02.320 not much to

01:06:02.860 ask, but

01:06:04.140 he's deleting

01:06:04.660 it.

01:06:05.520 And now he

01:06:06.760 says, a

01:06:07.700 riddle for

01:06:08.120 you.

01:06:08.880 Given the

01:06:09.380 size of the

01:06:10.060 holes in

01:06:10.700 a window

01:06:11.140 screen, why

01:06:12.640 would anyone

01:06:13.180 believe they

01:06:13.900 could prevent

01:06:14.500 transmission of

01:06:15.700 malaria?

01:06:17.620 Do you

01:06:17.860 think your

01:06:18.220 screen door

01:06:18.860 would prevent

01:06:20.780 transmission of

01:06:21.960 malaria?

01:06:23.600 To which I

01:06:24.480 say, I

01:06:26.820 don't know too

01:06:27.320 much about

01:06:27.780 malaria, but

01:06:28.380 it doesn't

01:06:28.660 travel on an

01:06:29.300 insect.

01:06:32.580 Can a

01:06:34.060 mosquito get 0.89

01:06:34.780 through a

01:06:35.060 screen door?

01:06:37.100 I thought

01:06:37.880 the screen

01:06:38.300 door was

01:06:38.820 specifically

01:06:39.960 sized to

01:06:41.240 prevent the

01:06:41.800 mosquito.

01:06:44.680 Wait, you're

01:06:45.240 saying they

01:06:45.580 can get

01:06:45.860 through a

01:06:46.140 screen door?

01:06:47.200 A mosquito?

01:06:48.080 I guess it

01:06:48.560 depends on

01:06:48.980 the mosquito.

01:06:50.060 I'm thinking

01:06:50.440 like those

01:06:51.100 big mosquitoes

01:06:51.840 with the

01:06:52.340 big beaks

01:06:53.020 that take a

01:06:55.160 pint of

01:06:55.480 blood from

01:06:55.880 you.

01:06:56.480 I know

01:06:56.780 they can't

01:06:57.160 get through.

01:06:57.880 Anyway, have

01:06:59.980 I ever told

01:07:00.500 you that the

01:07:01.040 least scientific

01:07:01.920 thing you

01:07:02.440 could do is

01:07:02.960 use an

01:07:03.340 analogy?

01:07:04.320 Well, but

01:07:05.100 it's in the

01:07:05.560 service of

01:07:06.140 making a

01:07:06.560 point, so

01:07:07.280 that's the

01:07:07.600 right way to

01:07:08.000 do it.

01:07:08.280 if you

01:07:09.780 use an

01:07:10.180 analogy in

01:07:11.000 the service

01:07:11.720 of explaining

01:07:13.140 how a

01:07:13.800 point works,

01:07:15.200 that is a

01:07:15.700 correct use.

01:07:16.440 So he's

01:07:16.800 using it

01:07:17.220 correctly.

01:07:18.060 I mock

01:07:18.720 people for

01:07:19.200 using analogies

01:07:20.080 to win

01:07:20.500 arguments,

01:07:21.560 but if you're

01:07:22.380 just doing it

01:07:22.900 to explain the

01:07:23.860 argument, that

01:07:25.080 the size of

01:07:25.840 this is bigger

01:07:26.400 than the

01:07:26.740 size of

01:07:27.100 that, that's

01:07:27.860 actually the

01:07:28.320 correct way to

01:07:28.880 use an

01:07:29.160 analogy.

01:07:30.000 That's rare.

01:07:30.460 So, again,

01:07:34.020 rep for the

01:07:34.500 win, because

01:07:35.380 he did the

01:07:35.840 rarest thing.

01:07:37.220 He used

01:07:37.600 an analogy

01:07:38.140 correctly.

01:07:39.360 How often

01:07:40.020 do you see

01:07:40.320 that?

01:07:41.460 It's actually

01:07:41.900 kind of rare.

01:07:43.540 I actually

01:07:44.220 know how to

01:07:44.600 use it

01:07:44.880 correctly.

01:07:45.880 But here's

01:07:46.420 my disagreement.

01:07:50.920 And I

01:07:51.480 explained this

01:07:52.080 in a reply

01:07:53.720 back to this

01:07:54.300 post.

01:07:54.760 So I'll just

01:07:55.100 read it to

01:07:55.480 you because

01:07:56.060 it's so

01:07:56.400 perfect.

01:07:57.700 Here's how

01:07:59.360 events unfold.

01:08:01.440 Experts told

01:08:02.540 us the

01:08:03.080 size of

01:08:04.040 the initial

01:08:05.160 infection

01:08:05.680 mattered and

01:08:07.040 that the

01:08:07.320 more virus

01:08:07.980 you got, the

01:08:08.620 sicker you

01:08:09.040 got.

01:08:09.580 Do you

01:08:09.760 remember that?

01:08:11.580 I don't

01:08:12.140 know if that

01:08:12.460 was ever

01:08:12.780 confirmed, by

01:08:13.500 the way.

01:08:14.140 It makes

01:08:14.820 sense, but I

01:08:16.160 don't know if

01:08:16.500 it was ever

01:08:16.820 confirmed.

01:08:17.600 So the

01:08:17.940 question is,

01:08:18.680 if you got

01:08:19.180 like one

01:08:20.200 tiny little

01:08:21.520 virus that

01:08:23.220 hit you on

01:08:23.900 the side of

01:08:24.380 the lip,

01:08:25.500 would that be

01:08:26.480 enough to

01:08:26.840 infect you?

01:08:28.640 Just literally

01:08:29.600 one.

01:08:31.080 You're

01:08:31.260 inside the

01:08:31.840 lip.

01:08:32.480 Would that

01:08:32.720 infect you?

01:08:34.180 I don't

01:08:34.460 know.

01:08:35.160 I think the

01:08:35.720 experts were

01:08:36.320 indicating maybe

01:08:37.040 not.

01:08:37.980 Maybe not.

01:08:39.060 But if you

01:08:39.460 got a

01:08:39.740 mouthful,

01:08:41.360 probably yes.

01:08:42.900 Probably yes.

01:08:43.620 So if you

01:08:44.040 French kissed

01:08:44.800 somebody with

01:08:45.840 a terrible

01:08:47.240 load of

01:08:47.780 virus, almost

01:08:48.900 certainly,

01:08:49.880 almost certainly

01:08:50.820 you get

01:08:51.200 enough.

01:08:51.940 Now, not

01:08:52.520 only is the

01:08:54.280 level, does it

01:08:55.720 matter to whether

01:08:56.280 you get it or

01:08:56.960 not, but if

01:08:58.300 you do get

01:08:58.980 it, the

01:08:59.740 experts also

01:09:00.460 said that the

01:09:01.660 more you get

01:09:02.320 exposed to it

01:09:03.160 first, the

01:09:04.780 worse it could

01:09:05.300 be.

01:09:06.080 Do you remember

01:09:06.560 that?

01:09:07.280 That the viral

01:09:08.160 load was

01:09:09.960 important to how

01:09:10.920 bad you got it.

01:09:12.340 So if you maybe

01:09:13.400 spent the night

01:09:14.220 right next to

01:09:14.900 somebody with a

01:09:15.420 lot of it, you'd

01:09:16.080 be really sick. 0.82

01:09:17.220 If you got the

01:09:17.920 slightest little

01:09:18.860 whiff of it,

01:09:20.060 because you walk

01:09:20.680 through a crowded

01:09:21.380 room, you'd still

01:09:23.080 get COVID maybe,

01:09:23.960 but maybe not

01:09:25.260 so bad, because

01:09:26.260 it would start

01:09:26.780 slow and your

01:09:27.500 body would have

01:09:28.040 time to mount

01:09:30.080 its defenses before

01:09:31.140 it was overwhelming.

01:09:33.700 I don't know if

01:09:34.440 that was ever

01:09:34.880 confirmed, but

01:09:36.380 would you agree

01:09:37.020 with the following

01:09:37.600 statement, that

01:09:39.120 in the fog of

01:09:40.160 war, when the

01:09:41.060 experts thought

01:09:41.940 the more virus,

01:09:43.440 the worse it

01:09:44.160 would be, that

01:09:45.340 if you had any

01:09:46.480 mechanism that

01:09:47.440 could reduce how

01:09:49.120 much you got from

01:09:50.020 one person at

01:09:50.760 one time, that

01:09:52.260 would give you a

01:09:52.700 little bit of

01:09:53.100 advantage.

01:09:53.960 Would you agree

01:09:54.620 with that?

01:09:55.500 I want to see

01:09:56.140 somebody disagree

01:09:56.780 with that, because

01:09:58.020 I know you will.

01:09:59.940 Disagree with

01:10:00.500 that.

01:10:02.000 All right, if you

01:10:02.720 disagree with that,

01:10:03.460 you're just being

01:10:03.860 silly.

01:10:05.540 That's just silly.

01:10:06.580 I can't take you

01:10:07.260 seriously.

01:10:08.460 This is not the

01:10:09.500 part you can

01:10:09.920 disagree with.

01:10:12.060 All right.

01:10:13.180 So if you, now,

01:10:14.560 and I'm saying, I

01:10:15.320 don't know if the

01:10:16.000 viral load does

01:10:16.740 make a difference.

01:10:17.640 I'm saying the

01:10:18.180 experts said it.

01:10:19.500 So I'm just

01:10:19.960 quoting the

01:10:20.420 experts, right?

01:10:21.300 And then I go

01:10:21.960 on, and I would

01:10:22.720 say, I don't

01:10:23.960 know if I'm

01:10:25.500 going to

01:10:26.100 go on.

01:10:26.380 Then they told

01:10:26.800 us that the

01:10:27.320 virus traveled on

01:10:28.240 air droplets that

01:10:29.960 were often but not

01:10:31.740 always bigger than

01:10:32.520 the holes.

01:10:34.520 Often, but not

01:10:36.280 always, bigger than

01:10:37.840 the holes, which

01:10:38.920 means that some

01:10:39.580 virus, of course,

01:10:40.420 gets through, and

01:10:41.840 it's still airborne on

01:10:42.960 the droplets, and it

01:10:44.160 can infect people.

01:10:45.500 And let me ask you

01:10:46.340 this.

01:10:47.220 If an infected person

01:10:48.620 wore a mask, and

01:10:50.680 you knew they were

01:10:51.220 infected, and you

01:10:52.340 knew they'd been

01:10:52.740 breathing into their

01:10:53.480 mask all day, would

01:10:55.000 you take their mask,

01:10:56.340 if you weren't

01:10:57.280 infected, and put it 0.94

01:10:58.460 on your face?

01:10:59.420 And wouldn't you

01:10:59.820 worry?

01:11:00.840 Now, forget about

01:11:01.360 the icky part of

01:11:02.200 it.

01:11:02.980 Wouldn't you know

01:11:03.940 that with 100%

01:11:05.500 certainty that the

01:11:06.860 inside of the mask

01:11:07.620 has virus on it?

01:11:09.060 You'd know that,

01:11:09.840 right?

01:11:10.800 Because it'd be

01:11:11.440 wet. 0.85

01:11:12.580 It's moist.

01:11:13.380 If the inside of

01:11:15.020 the mask is moist, by

01:11:17.560 definition, it's

01:11:18.420 stopped droplets.

01:11:20.200 Almost certainly, they

01:11:21.160 had virus on them.

01:11:23.340 So some could have

01:11:25.340 been very little

01:11:26.100 amount, but some

01:11:28.220 gets trapped in the

01:11:29.420 mask.

01:11:30.860 Does anybody

01:11:31.300 disagree with the

01:11:32.820 fact that if you're

01:11:33.500 infected, and the

01:11:34.720 inside of your mask

01:11:35.540 is moist, which it

01:11:37.080 would be, some, but

01:11:39.440 we don't know how

01:11:40.060 much.

01:11:40.380 It could be trivial.

01:11:41.740 It could be one

01:11:42.700 particle, but some

01:11:44.840 is on the inside of

01:11:46.300 the mask.

01:11:47.060 There's no question

01:11:47.720 about that.

01:11:49.320 Right?

01:11:50.200 Now, here's what

01:11:52.780 else we knew at the

01:11:53.440 beginning.

01:11:56.020 I said the better

01:11:57.260 analogy is a flea

01:11:58.900 on a dog trying to

01:11:59.880 get through a

01:12:00.320 chain-link fence.

01:12:01.600 So if the flea is

01:12:02.760 on the dog, it

01:12:04.020 doesn't matter that

01:12:04.700 the chain-link fence

01:12:05.680 has a big hole on

01:12:06.560 it.

01:12:07.060 The dog can't get

01:12:07.860 through the hole,

01:12:08.860 and the virus is on

01:12:09.780 the dog.

01:12:10.520 So that would be the

01:12:11.380 better analogy.

01:12:12.360 And the way Brett

01:12:13.460 used it is correct

01:12:14.460 because he made the

01:12:16.000 point that, you

01:12:16.880 know, it might be

01:12:17.620 bigger, the hole is

01:12:18.780 bigger than the

01:12:19.780 virus.

01:12:20.520 And I'm making

01:12:21.260 another analogy,

01:12:22.320 which is also a

01:12:23.160 correct way to use

01:12:23.860 it because I'm

01:12:25.120 adding that the

01:12:26.540 water droplet is

01:12:27.300 bigger than the

01:12:27.840 hole.

01:12:28.340 I'm just using a

01:12:29.120 dog for my

01:12:29.700 analogy.

01:12:30.620 So that's a good

01:12:31.680 way to use an

01:12:32.260 analogy.

01:12:32.700 Both of us are

01:12:33.280 using it correctly.

01:12:35.280 All right.

01:12:39.060 Then, yeah, let's

01:12:40.880 see.

01:12:41.380 So I would

01:12:42.320 say, this was my

01:12:43.800 take after we

01:12:44.720 learned enough

01:12:45.420 about masks, in

01:12:46.640 the rarest

01:12:47.680 situation, it

01:12:50.560 might hypothetically

01:12:52.000 make a difference.

01:12:54.200 Let me give you the

01:12:55.120 rarest of situations.

01:12:57.520 You have to go say

01:12:58.640 happy birthday to

01:12:59.680 your, hold on,

01:13:00.820 hold on.

01:13:02.440 You've got to

01:13:03.200 play fair.

01:13:04.380 Don't just, don't

01:13:05.740 be a reflex.

01:13:07.020 You haven't even

01:13:07.440 listened to what I

01:13:08.080 said.

01:13:08.300 the rarest of

01:13:09.800 situations.

01:13:11.380 You've got to go

01:13:12.160 say happy birthday

01:13:13.460 to your great

01:13:14.480 grandmother who's

01:13:15.300 100 years old and

01:13:16.360 she's in the

01:13:17.000 nursing home.

01:13:18.660 Now forget about

01:13:19.300 for a moment that

01:13:20.240 it would be a

01:13:20.840 requirement to wear

01:13:21.540 a mask.

01:13:22.420 Let's say it

01:13:23.060 wasn't a

01:13:23.420 requirement.

01:13:25.820 If you're just

01:13:26.660 going to go in

01:13:27.160 for a minute,

01:13:28.640 you don't want to

01:13:29.700 be too far away

01:13:30.460 from grandma,

01:13:31.540 and you just

01:13:32.320 want to get

01:13:32.960 close enough that

01:13:33.880 you made a human

01:13:34.620 connection, and

01:13:35.720 then you're

01:13:36.060 going to

01:13:36.260 withdraw.

01:13:37.280 So you're

01:13:37.780 only going to

01:13:38.080 be there a

01:13:38.480 minute.

01:13:39.980 Would a mask

01:13:40.820 make a difference?

01:13:42.200 Go.

01:13:43.500 You're going to

01:13:43.980 be there one

01:13:44.560 minute, one

01:13:46.040 minute only,

01:13:46.760 close to grandma.

01:13:47.520 Mask make a

01:13:48.160 difference, yes or

01:13:48.780 no?

01:13:50.100 All right,

01:13:50.420 everybody who

01:13:50.920 said no is

01:13:51.680 wrong, and

01:13:53.500 everybody who

01:13:54.080 said yes is

01:13:54.660 wrong.

01:13:58.300 The person who

01:13:59.220 said probably or

01:14:00.860 maybe is

01:14:01.520 correct.

01:14:03.300 The person who

01:14:04.160 said maybe is

01:14:05.540 correct.

01:14:06.800 If you said

01:14:07.440 no for sure,

01:14:08.220 that's completely

01:14:09.580 wrong.

01:14:10.640 If you said

01:14:11.440 yes for sure,

01:14:12.640 I think you're

01:14:13.120 probably right,

01:14:14.380 but nobody

01:14:15.280 knows, it

01:14:16.320 depends.

01:14:17.360 So I would

01:14:17.720 say you

01:14:18.420 could construct

01:14:19.240 a situation

01:14:20.020 that's very

01:14:21.220 artificial,

01:14:22.780 that in the

01:14:23.320 most extreme

01:14:24.540 situation, you

01:14:26.040 could imagine

01:14:26.480 it was the

01:14:26.960 difference between

01:14:28.360 the virus being

01:14:29.360 enough on

01:14:30.160 grandma and

01:14:31.160 not quite being

01:14:31.960 enough.

01:14:33.500 How often

01:14:34.000 would that

01:14:34.380 happen?

01:14:35.540 close to

01:14:36.420 never.

01:14:37.780 Close to

01:14:38.440 never.

01:14:39.900 And I'm

01:14:40.560 pretty sure if

01:14:41.080 you sat in

01:14:41.640 a room with

01:14:42.620 highly infected

01:14:43.320 people for

01:14:44.100 days at a

01:14:44.840 time, it

01:14:45.320 wouldn't matter

01:14:45.740 if you had a

01:14:46.140 mask.

01:14:46.760 We all agree

01:14:47.600 on that.

01:14:48.580 It wouldn't

01:14:49.220 matter.

01:14:50.120 So when you

01:14:50.920 look for the

01:14:51.440 effect of

01:14:51.940 masking in

01:14:52.760 populations,

01:14:54.340 you say this

01:14:55.120 city had

01:14:55.840 masking mandates,

01:14:56.840 this one did

01:14:57.340 not, how'd

01:14:58.320 they do?

01:14:59.060 You don't

01:14:59.340 really see the

01:14:59.880 benefit.

01:15:01.200 Do you agree?

01:15:01.620 that you

01:15:03.580 could imagine

01:15:04.440 the scenario,

01:15:05.840 very, very

01:15:06.380 strange and

01:15:07.040 unusual one

01:15:07.680 that will

01:15:07.900 never happen

01:15:08.360 to you,

01:15:09.440 that it

01:15:09.700 would make

01:15:09.960 some

01:15:10.220 difference.

01:15:11.160 But not

01:15:11.560 in the real

01:15:11.900 world.

01:15:12.580 In the real

01:15:13.020 world, you

01:15:13.460 don't see

01:15:13.820 the effect.

01:15:14.720 So given

01:15:15.220 that you

01:15:15.580 don't see

01:15:15.920 the effect,

01:15:17.120 can we all

01:15:17.860 agree, ladies 0.97

01:15:18.520 and gentlemen,

01:15:19.820 mandatory

01:15:20.260 masking is

01:15:21.360 evil and

01:15:22.560 wrong.

01:15:23.420 It's

01:15:23.900 wrongheaded,

01:15:24.640 it's

01:15:24.800 unscientific,

01:15:25.860 it's unjustified,

01:15:27.080 there's no

01:15:27.460 statistics,

01:15:28.080 there's no

01:15:29.080 data to

01:15:30.400 justify mandatory

01:15:31.880 masks.

01:15:34.560 Thank you.

01:15:36.600 Now, but I'm

01:15:38.880 going to

01:15:39.100 completely agree

01:15:40.160 with Brett

01:15:40.940 that because

01:15:42.240 the effect of

01:15:43.040 the masks

01:15:43.520 isn't identifiable

01:15:44.980 at a population

01:15:45.780 level, it's

01:15:46.880 safe enough to

01:15:47.740 say they don't

01:15:48.200 work.

01:15:50.100 Are you okay

01:15:50.980 with that?

01:15:52.260 That given

01:15:52.680 that we don't

01:15:53.200 see it working

01:15:53.700 at a population

01:15:54.460 level, it's

01:15:56.080 fair to say

01:15:56.660 they don't

01:15:57.000 work.

01:15:58.080 But it's

01:15:58.600 not fair to

01:15:59.460 say they

01:15:59.720 don't stop

01:16:00.200 any virus,

01:16:01.200 because obviously

01:16:01.740 they do.

01:16:02.760 It's not fair

01:16:03.560 to say that

01:16:04.600 there's no

01:16:05.220 situation, no

01:16:06.460 matter how

01:16:06.980 rare, where

01:16:07.600 it could help

01:16:08.040 somebody.

01:16:09.220 Because it

01:16:11.320 might, don't

01:16:12.700 know for sure.

01:16:15.380 So on the

01:16:16.640 first weeks of

01:16:17.260 the pandemic,

01:16:17.740 when the

01:16:18.240 government said,

01:16:18.840 hey, maybe

01:16:19.460 we should try

01:16:19.880 this mask

01:16:20.480 thing, that

01:16:21.340 wasn't crazy.

01:16:22.980 And Brett

01:16:23.380 was not crazy

01:16:24.380 and said, you

01:16:24.860 know, it might

01:16:25.940 be worth a try

01:16:26.620 short term, see

01:16:27.640 if it matters.

01:16:29.220 And then he

01:16:29.820 changed his

01:16:30.260 mind when he

01:16:30.680 had better

01:16:31.000 data.

01:16:32.020 That's

01:16:32.300 perfect.

01:16:34.460 If you're

01:16:35.060 judging him for

01:16:35.680 being once

01:16:36.240 wrong, you're

01:16:37.280 missing the

01:16:37.760 show.

01:16:40.080 You don't

01:16:40.700 judge people for

01:16:41.420 being wrong.

01:16:42.700 You judge

01:16:43.480 people for how

01:16:44.880 they adjust

01:16:45.580 it.

01:16:46.820 That's the way

01:16:47.500 to judge

01:16:47.880 people.

01:16:48.620 Did he adjust

01:16:49.180 correctly?

01:16:50.120 Yes.

01:16:51.700 Yes.

01:16:52.440 You can't get

01:16:53.180 more correct

01:16:53.720 than this.

01:16:54.880 This is 100%

01:16:56.040 the way you

01:16:57.560 want all

01:16:58.200 people to

01:16:58.760 act if you

01:16:59.480 were king.

01:17:00.900 You'd want

01:17:01.340 all people to

01:17:02.160 be human.

01:17:02.880 Maybe you

01:17:03.200 make a mistake.

01:17:04.220 Maybe you

01:17:04.500 don't have

01:17:04.760 enough data.

01:17:05.380 Maybe you're

01:17:05.720 guessing.

01:17:06.600 Maybe you're

01:17:06.900 doing good

01:17:07.300 risk management.

01:17:08.620 I'll even

01:17:09.020 go further.

01:17:10.440 I think

01:17:10.700 Brett is

01:17:11.480 kind of

01:17:13.760 nobly

01:17:14.260 taking responsibility

01:17:15.780 for being wrong

01:17:16.840 when he was

01:17:17.280 actually right.

01:17:18.060 Right.

01:17:19.600 He was

01:17:21.020 right from

01:17:21.660 a risk

01:17:22.260 management

01:17:22.840 perspective.

01:17:24.000 He was

01:17:24.680 wrong on

01:17:25.320 the details,

01:17:26.080 meaning it

01:17:26.600 didn't work.

01:17:27.860 If you

01:17:28.180 make a

01:17:28.620 proper risk

01:17:29.820 management

01:17:30.300 decision,

01:17:31.060 that does

01:17:31.860 not mean

01:17:32.480 you made

01:17:32.920 the right

01:17:33.300 decision.

01:17:34.720 That's very

01:17:35.420 important.

01:17:36.340 But if you

01:17:37.140 properly assess

01:17:38.040 the odds

01:17:38.600 and took

01:17:38.980 the high

01:17:39.340 probability

01:17:39.940 route,

01:17:41.060 that's the

01:17:41.480 right decision

01:17:42.020 even if

01:17:42.500 later you

01:17:42.880 find out

01:17:43.200 it was

01:17:43.400 wrong.

01:17:44.140 What

01:17:44.380 Brett

01:17:44.640 did was

01:17:45.220 say,

01:17:46.780 short

01:17:47.460 term,

01:17:48.240 we don't

01:17:48.660 know for

01:17:49.040 sure,

01:17:49.600 deadly

01:17:50.380 pandemic,

01:17:51.160 we don't

01:17:51.440 know how

01:17:51.760 bad it

01:17:52.120 could be,

01:17:53.000 all variables

01:17:53.760 are on

01:17:54.100 the table,

01:17:54.980 they're asking

01:17:55.480 the citizens

01:17:56.120 to try

01:17:56.780 this,

01:17:57.780 he's arguing

01:17:58.600 we could

01:17:59.580 all make

01:17:59.960 it work,

01:18:00.540 it's not

01:18:01.120 much harder

01:18:01.840 than washing

01:18:02.280 your hands.

01:18:03.960 That was

01:18:04.660 the correct

01:18:05.180 risk management

01:18:05.940 take.

01:18:07.700 So he's

01:18:08.420 not only

01:18:08.940 correct in

01:18:10.580 the entire

01:18:11.040 arc of how

01:18:11.800 he handled

01:18:12.220 it,

01:18:13.520 he was

01:18:13.820 correct in

01:18:14.300 the first

01:18:14.600 place,

01:18:15.600 because he

01:18:16.200 treated it as

01:18:16.760 a risk

01:18:17.140 management

01:18:17.640 decision,

01:18:18.260 which is

01:18:18.540 what it

01:18:18.800 was.

01:18:19.600 If he

01:18:20.160 had

01:18:20.300 treated it

01:18:20.800 the way

01:18:21.100 many of

01:18:21.480 you did

01:18:21.840 was,

01:18:22.700 does it

01:18:23.100 work?

01:18:24.520 Does it

01:18:25.100 work?

01:18:26.280 That was

01:18:26.880 the wrong

01:18:27.280 way to

01:18:27.580 think about

01:18:27.960 it.

01:18:29.400 The right

01:18:30.000 way to

01:18:30.260 think about

01:18:30.640 it was

01:18:30.920 risk management,

01:18:32.080 and he

01:18:32.360 got it

01:18:32.620 completely

01:18:33.000 right.

01:18:33.960 And then

01:18:34.340 when he

01:18:34.580 had more

01:18:34.900 data,

01:18:35.160 he got it

01:18:35.520 completely

01:18:35.920 right twice.

01:18:36.760 He was

01:18:37.020 right twice.

01:18:39.660 He was

01:18:40.240 right twice.

01:18:41.140 right.

01:18:43.320 All right,

01:18:43.940 Rasmussen

01:18:44.440 asked people

01:18:45.120 if they

01:18:45.980 know people

01:18:46.400 who had

01:18:46.640 vax injury.

01:18:48.460 53%

01:18:49.460 say they

01:18:50.740 believe they

01:18:51.180 know somebody

01:18:51.640 who was

01:18:51.820 injured by

01:18:52.280 a vaccine.

01:18:54.160 What

01:18:54.540 percent of

01:18:55.040 adults

01:18:55.420 say they

01:18:58.020 personally

01:19:00.480 know someone

01:19:01.600 who was

01:19:05.020 affected by

01:19:05.820 the vax?

01:19:08.440 Did I miss

01:19:09.040 a page?

01:19:09.400 I think I

01:19:09.780 missed a

01:19:10.040 page.

01:19:11.380 Yeah,

01:19:11.620 24%.

01:19:12.480 So 24%

01:19:14.160 think they

01:19:14.600 know somebody

01:19:15.100 who was

01:19:15.300 injured by

01:19:15.720 a vaccine.

01:19:17.680 You can

01:19:18.400 draw your

01:19:18.920 own conclusions

01:19:19.540 from that.

01:19:21.960 Here's why

01:19:22.720 I think it's

01:19:25.820 dangerous to

01:19:26.760 believe you

01:19:28.120 know somebody

01:19:28.660 injured by

01:19:29.300 a vaccine.

01:19:29.840 And by the

01:19:30.140 way, some

01:19:30.500 of you do.

01:19:32.040 There are

01:19:32.540 plenty of

01:19:32.900 people injured

01:19:33.360 by vaccines

01:19:34.040 because it

01:19:34.600 was such a

01:19:35.020 massive

01:19:35.320 rollout.

01:19:36.420 So whether

01:19:36.920 or not the

01:19:37.360 vaccines were

01:19:38.080 safe enough,

01:19:39.400 this is a

01:19:39.980 separate

01:19:40.200 question from

01:19:40.860 whether there

01:19:41.360 were injuries.

01:19:42.300 Because

01:19:42.480 vaccines, most

01:19:43.660 medicine has

01:19:44.600 some injury.

01:19:47.040 But probably

01:19:47.960 what's happening,

01:19:48.780 some of you

01:19:49.660 know real

01:19:50.080 injuries, and

01:19:51.360 you're right.

01:19:52.600 And others

01:19:53.460 of you know

01:19:54.140 somebody who

01:19:54.600 had an

01:19:54.860 injury soon

01:19:55.580 after vaccination,

01:19:56.780 and you

01:19:58.020 might be

01:19:58.360 right, but

01:19:59.740 you don't

01:20:00.020 know.

01:20:00.200 yeah, the

01:20:03.340 myocarditis

01:20:04.100 would be a

01:20:04.720 stronger signal

01:20:05.720 than some

01:20:06.200 of the other

01:20:06.560 stuff, because

01:20:07.480 that's so

01:20:08.180 specifically

01:20:09.580 indicated.

01:20:12.620 Seizures would

01:20:13.280 be a strong

01:20:13.740 indication.

01:20:14.960 But some

01:20:15.640 of them will

01:20:15.980 be coincidence,

01:20:16.660 you don't

01:20:16.940 really know.

01:20:19.100 All right,

01:20:19.640 that, ladies 0.97

01:20:20.000 and gentlemen,

01:20:21.040 is my amazing
