Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2354 CWSA 01⧸15⧸24

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

00:00:02.020 Romp-pomp-pong.

00:00:03.720 Romp-pomp-pomp-pong.

00:00:07.600 Good morning, everybody, and welcome.

00:00:10.020 The highlight of human civilization.

00:00:12.480 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:14.160 I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your life

00:00:17.120 and the history of the universe

00:00:19.400 if you'd like to take it up to levels that nobody can even understand.

00:00:23.840 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or jails or stein,

00:00:26.900 a canteen, jug or glass, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:30.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:31.680 I like coffee.

00:00:33.420 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine to the day,

00:00:37.360 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:39.080 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:42.380 Go.

00:00:48.560 And I think I'm going to dip my microphone in it

00:00:52.580 because my microphone is looking thirsty.

00:00:55.720 Here we go.

00:00:56.740 Here we go.

00:00:57.880 Take it.

00:00:58.660 Take it.

00:01:00.000 It was a good visual joke.

00:01:01.680 If you're listening on the podcast, sorry.

00:01:06.920 That's some good coffee.

00:01:09.120 That's good coffee.

00:01:10.840 Well, would you like to mock all the dumb people today?

00:01:15.040 Anybody?

00:01:16.060 Is anybody up for mocking the dumb people?

00:01:18.660 All right.

00:01:22.440 Well, we'll give you some good news first.

00:01:26.260 There, you know, there was the CES, the big consumer electronics show.

00:01:33.220 And so we're seeing some of the inventions coming out of that.

00:01:36.300 A lot of cool stuff.

00:01:37.720 But my favorite is a machine that turns air into water.

00:01:42.000 So it sucks the moisture out of the air.

00:01:43.900 And it makes a lot of water.

00:01:46.780 So it's not just a little bit.

00:01:49.060 And so I ask you this question.

00:01:50.680 Is that going to change everything?

00:01:52.020 If you could make your own water right at your house, then all you need is power?

00:01:58.600 Yeah.

00:01:59.480 I think it's like a super dehumidifier or something like that.

00:02:04.540 So wouldn't that change everything?

00:02:07.580 I feel like the only thing missing now is a septic system.

00:02:11.620 So you can be totally off the grid.

00:02:13.420 Because you can make your electricity.

00:02:15.840 You can make your water.

00:02:17.540 You just need some way to get rid of that waste a little bit better.

00:02:23.480 All right.

00:02:23.940 Well, that's a big deal.

00:02:25.720 All right.

00:02:26.040 There's a new study that says girls outdo the boys at school and at universities.

00:02:31.360 So the girls are getting better grades compared to boys, not only in school, but in upper education as well.

00:02:40.120 So what's that tell you?

00:02:42.520 Nothing.

00:02:44.420 Stop measuring the average of people.

00:02:47.500 There are no average people.

00:02:49.400 There's no average boy.

00:02:51.340 There's no average girl.

00:02:53.560 And by the way, if you know anything about the real world, you know that boys tend to the extremes.

00:03:00.900 There are more boys who are super dumb.

00:03:04.660 And there are more boys who are crazy smart.

00:03:08.200 And women tend to be closer to the mean.

00:03:11.080 So what does it tell you that women or girls are getting better grades than boys on average?

00:03:19.060 Nothing.

00:03:20.500 It literally tells you nothing.

00:03:22.040 I don't know what it tells you besides nothing.

00:03:27.680 But we need to really stop imagining that measuring the average of any two groups tells you something you can use.

00:03:37.180 As soon as you say, well, I can use that information, then you're lost.

00:03:41.360 It might be curiosity, but you can't use it.

00:03:45.820 It has no purpose because there are no people who are average.

00:03:50.000 As soon as you start using the average to manage the people, you're discriminating.

00:03:55.880 Let me say that again.

00:03:58.500 If you think the average of the group means anything, has any value, you're a racist or a sexist.

00:04:06.580 By definition, as soon as you think the average means something, I say it doesn't mean anything.

00:04:13.480 So, therefore, I'm a good person compared to people who measure averages.

00:04:17.640 Well, here's a diet reframe.

00:04:23.400 Here's one of the most useful diet reframes you could ever have.

00:04:28.160 I base this on my own experience, which is at the moment.

00:04:32.000 This is not bragging, by the way.

00:04:33.780 I'm getting to some advice that will be good for you.

00:04:37.640 At the moment, I eat as much as I want of anything I want as often as I want.

00:04:45.520 And my target weight is exactly my weight.

00:04:49.900 I'm actually below it.

00:04:51.000 I'm actually below my target weight with no effort.

00:04:54.720 It took zero effort.

00:04:57.720 Now, what's the trick?

00:04:59.280 There's a trick.

00:05:01.040 The trick is it's really, really hard to manage your willpower and just eat less food.

00:05:09.000 You know why?

00:05:10.120 Because willpower doesn't even exist.

00:05:12.700 There's no such thing as willpower.

00:05:14.120 It's an illusion.

00:05:16.640 So, if you manage your weight by managing to something that doesn't even exist, it's not even real.

00:05:23.440 Your willpower, your free will, those aren't even things.

00:05:28.340 Instead, I manage to my preferences.

00:05:32.840 So, the reason I can eat everything I want to eat is that I change my food preferences.

00:05:38.680 So, the only things I want to eat are good for me.

00:05:41.480 I love broccoli, for example.

00:05:44.120 I can eat as much as I want because I don't really have a need to eat so much broccoli and good food.

00:05:51.980 It's kind of satisfying by itself.

00:05:54.240 So, I can eat as much as I want of anything I want.

00:05:56.740 And as long as I keep to foods that are, you know, not full of sugar and bad stuff, I can eat as much as I want whenever I want.

00:06:04.540 All day long, I just look for things and just eat them.

00:06:08.600 All day long.

00:06:09.720 And it makes no difference to my weight.

00:06:12.640 Now, you're going to say to yourself, or you should, well, I bet you exercise a lot, don't you?

00:06:18.000 I'll bet you, you must be running 10 miles a day.

00:06:21.360 Because then, you know, then it's easy to keep your weight if you're so active.

00:06:24.180 But, nope, nope.

00:06:26.420 I'm at the lowest level of physical activity of my entire life.

00:06:30.480 It's just age-related.

00:06:32.440 You know, my knees don't go as far as they used to.

00:06:35.220 So, I do, I work out regularly.

00:06:37.920 But it's a light workout.

00:06:40.420 You know, smaller weights and stuff like that.

00:06:43.600 So, it has nothing to do with anything except that I'm a hypnotist.

00:06:48.440 So, that's the bottom line.

00:06:50.560 Because I'm a hypnotist, I know something that a lot of you don't know.

00:06:54.960 That I can manage my preferences.

00:06:57.900 I can actually change what I like.

00:07:00.560 Now, if you don't know how to do that, you're kind of stuck with imagining you have willpower and good luck.

00:07:06.020 But you don't.

00:07:06.500 But change your preferences.

00:07:09.560 With food, it's easy.

00:07:10.500 You just don't eat something for a while and you'll lose your craving for it.

00:07:15.020 That's about the whole trick.

00:07:16.600 All right.

00:07:18.420 Now that I've changed your lives, let's talk about the news.

00:07:21.820 There's a report that Trump had a pretty good joke back when he was in office.

00:07:27.040 And he was visiting Kim Jong-un.

00:07:29.260 And I guess he had Sarah Hockney Sanders with him.

00:07:32.180 And reportedly, Kim Jong-un winked at her.

00:07:35.060 And reportedly, Trump wittily said to Sarah Hockney Sanders,

00:07:41.900 Sarah, you're going to have to take one for the team.

00:07:45.660 Your husband and kids will miss you, but you'll be a hero to your country.

00:07:49.360 How do you not like that?

00:07:54.740 How do you not like that?

00:07:58.280 First of all, it's funny because he said it in North Korea.

00:08:02.200 He's standing in, well, South Korea.

00:08:03.960 But he's standing near the DMZ and he's cracking jokes about Sarah Hockney Sanders having an affair with Kim Jong-un.

00:08:12.300 Come on, you have to like that.

00:08:14.960 You don't have to like everything about him, but that's pretty funny.

00:08:19.260 All right.

00:08:21.100 Let's talk about my new fear of flying.

00:08:23.320 So United Airlines, as has been widely reported, is getting really big into DEI.

00:08:33.460 And there's a video of the CEO talking about the emphasis they're going to put on hiring minorities and increasing their diversity.

00:08:44.100 Now, I think all of us agree that's the last thing you want to hear from your airline is that they're trying to focus on anything except safety.

00:08:53.880 Now, I get that in a perfect world, you can do it all, in a perfect world, but we don't really live in one of those.

00:09:03.080 We live in a world where if you're focusing on something, you're going to get more of it.

00:09:07.800 And if you diversify your focus, you better be careful where you diversify it to.

00:09:15.860 So we've got the problem that the airlines are pushing for diversity.

00:09:19.980 But I think there are at least two fake newses in the stories I'm going to tell you.

00:09:26.120 Fake news number one, I think.

00:09:29.900 There are some pictures of the CEO himself, CEO of United Media, dressed in drag.

00:09:37.380 And the suggestion is that he's a cross-dressing LGBTQ person, and therefore, no wonder he is pushing diversity.

00:09:45.460 However, when I looked at the photo that alleges to be him dancing in front of his staff, dressed in drag, it doesn't look real to me.

00:09:57.360 Does it look real to you?

00:09:59.420 Looks AI-generated.

00:10:02.020 It's sort of too on the nose.

00:10:04.880 But there is another photo that does look real to me.

00:10:08.260 There's a picture of him dressed as a woman, standing next to another woman, well, not another woman, standing next to a woman who's dressed in what looks like a Halloween costume.

00:10:19.700 That's right.

00:10:21.240 It looks like he dressed once as a woman for Halloween.

00:10:24.740 But then it looks like maybe, I'm just guessing, AI created, you know, another picture that made it look like it was something he does naturally.

00:10:33.560 So the first thing I would question is, are any of those photos real?

00:10:40.920 And are we counting the Halloween photo as meaning something more than it does?

00:10:46.300 I see in your comments that some of you are screaming, it's real.

00:10:49.880 Look at this other photo.

00:10:51.320 I don't believe any of the photos.

00:10:53.200 So here's the thing.

00:10:54.240 If you believe a photo in 2024 because it looks real, you really have to stop that.

00:11:01.620 But looking real doesn't mean anything.

00:11:06.100 It's 2024.

00:11:08.100 So I'm going to say I don't believe the story about him being a cross-stress.

00:11:13.140 Now, if it turns out that I'm wrong, I'm wrong.

00:11:15.900 But you shouldn't believe it because there are pictures.

00:11:18.420 That's not good enough reason.

00:11:20.400 That's a little too on the nose.

00:11:23.940 Yeah.

00:11:24.720 All right.

00:11:25.260 Then there's the FAA who says they're actively recruiting workers who suffer, quote, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric problems, and other mental and physical conditions under a diversity and inclusion thing.

00:11:43.420 Now, how many of you think your FAA, in charge of flying, should be putting their concentration in getting people who have serious mental and physical disabilities?

00:11:57.320 I'm going to call this one fake news.

00:11:59.800 Fake news.

00:12:01.520 Fake news.

00:12:03.280 Do you think that they were going to hire pilots who are blind?

00:12:06.860 When you read this story, is that what you thought?

00:12:08.800 Did you think the FAA was going to, like, get some flight control people who have IQs a tad?

00:12:19.260 The part that's left out of the story is what jobs they're looking to fill.

00:12:24.580 Don't you think there are, you know, plenty of jobs that you could legitimately give people who have all manner of mental and physical problems and they would do just fine?

00:12:34.940 Let's not get too excited about this one.

00:12:37.280 Let's not get too excited about this story until we find out what those jobs are.

00:12:41.500 If it turns out they're literally looking to hire pilots and, you know, flight, you know, flight, what do you call the radar people, flight controller people?

00:12:53.220 If they're really looking to hire people who can't do the jobs for those jobs, that's a problem.

00:12:59.880 That seems pretty unlikely.

00:13:01.100 So, yeah, I don't think they're going to be, you know, fixing the plane necessarily.

00:13:10.320 So I'm just going to say for both of these stories, it could be real.

00:13:15.020 It could be.

00:13:16.120 But what we have so far would not suggest that they are.

00:13:19.800 But they could be.

00:13:20.940 So if I'm wrong, I'm not wrong.

00:13:23.020 Well, you know, I'm trying to hedge.

00:13:27.360 If I'm wrong, I'm not wrong because I'm telling you that they're not credible.

00:13:31.820 They could also be true.

00:13:33.640 But what we have now is not credible on the surface.

00:13:36.260 Anyway, there's a story in the Wall Street Journal that the mentions from big companies and their earnings calls, that the number of times they mentioned ESG had peaked a few years ago, but now it's heading down.

00:13:54.280 Because ESG is sort of a dirty word.

00:13:56.900 And it's actually embarrassing to say you're involved in it.

00:14:01.500 So that's good.

00:14:03.300 So there's lots of pressure on these companies to not admit they're involved with ESG.

00:14:09.440 That's a step in the right direction.

00:14:11.920 Now, unrelated to all of this ESG and the FAA and United Airlines, two planes collided in Chicago.

00:14:25.340 Two planes, two planes.

00:14:27.820 It looks like nobody got hurt.

00:14:29.700 I think it was just on the runway.

00:14:31.140 Two planes collided in Chicago.

00:14:33.980 Now, again, if you're connecting all these stories and you're saying, hey, United Airlines is increasing their diversity hiring.

00:14:44.780 The FAA has tried to hire more people with mental and physical disabilities.

00:14:49.240 It can't be a coincidence that a plane knocked into another plane.

00:14:52.900 But it probably is.

00:14:53.760 It probably is exactly that.

00:14:56.420 Just stuff happens.

00:14:58.400 It's an icy cold time.

00:15:00.460 Things bump into other things.

00:15:02.480 Let's talk about Iowa and all the candidates.

00:15:08.820 So here's what I've noticed.

00:15:10.480 This is just anecdotal.

00:15:12.420 I'll just see if this matches what you think.

00:15:16.700 I have seen people change their minds about candidates.

00:15:22.780 So change their minds about Republican candidates.

00:15:26.420 Have you?

00:15:27.220 Have you seen anybody who was supporting one candidate and then decided to support another?

00:15:32.600 A few.

00:15:33.960 Seen a few.

00:15:35.300 Yeah.

00:15:35.920 And even in the news, even on social media, we see a few people.

00:15:40.940 But here's what I haven't seen yet.

00:15:42.420 I've never seen anybody change their vote to Haley.

00:15:48.460 I haven't seen it.

00:15:50.380 Every person who's changed has changed to Vivek.

00:15:55.720 Every one.

00:15:57.200 Every person who used to support a different candidate but has changed in the last three months changed to Vivek.

00:16:05.240 Every one.

00:16:06.800 I think in the comments, have you seen any exception to that?

00:16:11.600 You know, it's just anecdotal, so you can't take it too seriously.

00:16:15.880 But I've only seen one direction.

00:16:19.960 I've only seen one direction.

00:16:26.760 Well, I don't know.

00:16:27.940 It's kind of striking that I only see it one direction.

00:16:31.240 But the rumors about Vivek are just, they're so wild that they're funny.

00:16:40.800 So I'm just going to read them all.

00:16:42.800 Now, I want to see how many of you actually believe any of these.

00:16:45.900 If you do, you should be embarrassed.

00:16:49.300 But I know you won't be.

00:16:51.520 Right?

00:16:52.360 So let's see how embarrassed you want to be.

00:16:57.180 So here are the top reasons I saw.

00:16:58.940 There are eight of them.

00:17:00.100 Eight reasons to not support Vivek.

00:17:02.780 Number one, that he's a World Economic Forum Soros puppet, and he took a scholarship from a Soros family member.

00:17:12.660 Not George Soros, but some Soros family member.

00:17:16.820 All right.

00:17:17.440 Now, do you think that's a good, is that a good attack?

00:17:21.300 How many think that's a good attack?

00:17:22.640 He literally has the opposite opinions of the WEF and the Soros organizations.

00:17:32.660 He's literally the opposite.

00:17:34.680 They're not going to fund him.

00:17:37.180 Of all the people in the world, they would never give him a penny.

00:17:40.740 But he took their money.

00:17:42.880 So you're telling me you feel bad because he took money from a Soros family member,

00:17:47.580 and he's not a climate alarmist, and he's not in favor of all this equity stuff.

00:17:55.060 He's basically the literal opposite of Soros and the WEF.

00:17:59.760 And do you think he's their puppet?

00:18:01.800 They're very bad at puppetry.

00:18:04.740 If you're going to be a puppet master, your rule number one is that your puppet has to do something related to the strings you're pulling.

00:18:12.560 If you're pulling the strings and your puppet is doing literally the opposite of what you want it to do

00:18:16.780 when you're pulling the strings, you're very bad at puppet master.

00:18:21.340 So if you think that he's going to take office and suddenly change all of his opinions, that doesn't work.

00:18:33.020 People do definitely change an opinion, maybe more than one.

00:18:37.980 They can soften an opinion or something.

00:18:39.700 But he's not going to go from climate change is bullshit to fully embracing it.

00:18:45.220 That's not going to happen.

00:18:46.780 He's not going to suddenly decide diversity is his top priority or equity.

00:18:52.100 None of that's going to happen.

00:18:53.780 If you think any of that's possible, that's just silly.

00:18:59.240 How about number two?

00:19:00.720 He's too smart.

00:19:02.660 I'm hearing a lot of people complain he seems too smart.

00:19:05.220 I guess our standards are so low that we think smart is a red flag.

00:19:14.840 Wait a minute.

00:19:16.640 Wait a minute.

00:19:17.500 What are they trying to pull with us?

00:19:19.500 Trying to put a smart candidate in there?

00:19:22.280 I don't know about that.

00:19:23.800 I'm a little suspicious of all those brains.

00:19:28.240 That's actually one of the top complaints.

00:19:31.260 All right.

00:19:31.380 What else we got?

00:19:33.500 I heard this morning.

00:19:34.780 I've heard this a lot.

00:19:36.140 That Vivek is the Manchurian candidate.

00:19:38.820 You know why they say that?

00:19:41.020 Because it's a movie they've heard of.

00:19:43.800 That's why.

00:19:44.540 About 25% of all public opinions are based on the movie you watched.

00:19:51.500 How about Soil and Green is People?

00:19:54.240 And we're in the Matrix.

00:19:56.040 Yeah.

00:19:56.700 Now, if your opinion happens to exactly match a movie title,

00:20:02.340 no.

00:20:03.040 If your opinion matches a movie title,

00:20:05.800 I'm not going to listen to you.

00:20:07.620 You're going to have to do better than that.

00:20:10.060 All right.

00:20:10.240 How about he reminds us too much of Obama.

00:20:15.180 Because he's really capable and he's a good talker

00:20:18.260 and he came out of nowhere.

00:20:19.680 So therefore, that's bad, right?

00:20:22.720 What?

00:20:24.080 He literally, again, has the opposite,

00:20:27.900 the direct opposite policies of Obama.

00:20:31.560 The part that people are comparing him to Obama

00:20:34.220 is somebody who's really smart and can exceed expectations.

00:20:39.460 That's the criticism.

00:20:41.940 Let me say it again.

00:20:42.720 The criticism is that he's really smart like Obama

00:20:47.240 and maybe he'll exceed expectations.

00:20:50.900 Okay.

00:20:52.620 That's what you have.

00:20:54.480 Really, that's what you have

00:20:56.280 is that he might be so Obama that he exceeds expectations

00:21:00.220 because he's also smart.

00:21:02.820 He has opposite policies of Obama.

00:21:06.140 Are you worried about that?

00:21:07.980 Okay.

00:21:09.360 How about,

00:21:11.580 he's the big pharma candidate.

00:21:14.080 He's the big pharma candidate

00:21:15.560 because he worked in pharma.

00:21:19.100 How many of you think that?

00:21:20.860 He's the big pharma candidate.

00:21:22.940 Let me explain something about big pharma.

00:21:27.700 Pfizer doesn't give a fuck about the other big pharma.

00:21:30.560 What, do you think they're working together?

00:21:34.700 You think the big pharma is one thing?

00:21:37.280 They're competing.

00:21:39.100 There's no big pharma company

00:21:40.560 that gives one fuck about another big pharma company.

00:21:43.760 They don't care.

00:21:45.220 You know, they might have some,

00:21:46.200 like an interest in common somewhere here and there.

00:21:49.180 But no,

00:21:50.180 the fact that he once owned a company

00:21:52.220 that was in that space,

00:21:54.140 it doesn't mean he supports the other pharma companies.

00:21:57.220 There's no connecting tissue to that.

00:21:59.660 There's no logical if this, that, that.

00:22:03.060 That's just crazy.

00:22:04.740 He's just a guy who owned a company

00:22:06.140 that he doesn't have now

00:22:07.180 because he made his billion dollars or whatever.

00:22:11.800 All right.

00:22:12.360 So you're going to have to do better

00:22:13.480 than he is the pharma candidate.

00:22:15.280 Somebody also said he somehow made money

00:22:17.340 on every shot.

00:22:19.180 How does that have a criticism?

00:22:22.140 If I could have made money

00:22:23.520 on every vaccination,

00:22:25.540 I certainly would have.

00:22:27.760 Would you not?

00:22:29.420 If you could have made money

00:22:30.680 on every vaccination,

00:22:32.480 legally, legally,

00:22:34.600 you wouldn't have done it?

00:22:36.700 Seriously?

00:22:37.700 You wouldn't have done that

00:22:38.860 if you knew it was going to happen anyway.

00:22:41.240 If you knew it was going to happen anyway.

00:22:45.140 Now, first of all,

00:22:46.100 I don't know that he did it.

00:22:47.200 It seems unlikely that it's true.

00:22:49.860 But what's wrong with making money?

00:22:53.460 Why are you complaining about that?

00:22:57.800 Yeah.

00:22:58.560 Now, if he was the one promoting the shots,

00:23:01.840 then you might have an argument.

00:23:03.620 There's no evidence of that,

00:23:05.480 is there?

00:23:09.020 Anyway,

00:23:10.200 I don't think he was in favor of the mandates.

00:23:13.800 People say he has no political record,

00:23:16.140 but of course,

00:23:17.040 that's why they liked Trump.

00:23:20.400 He has no political record.

00:23:22.640 Why is that negative,

00:23:25.080 to have no political experience?

00:23:27.100 Have we not learned that that doesn't matter?

00:23:30.200 It's like saying,

00:23:30.980 Reagan can't be president

00:23:32.000 because he's an actor.

00:23:33.920 Trump can't be president

00:23:34.960 because he's a real estate guy.

00:23:36.660 He was on a TV show.

00:23:37.800 It seems like positive

00:23:40.560 not to have a political record.

00:23:42.920 And then the strangest one,

00:23:45.300 but really it's a compliment

00:23:46.500 to Trump's persuasion.

00:23:48.540 There are a lot of people

00:23:49.320 who say that it needs to be Trump

00:23:51.060 because he deserves

00:23:52.560 your loyalty.

00:23:54.320 It needs to be Trump

00:23:57.280 because he's earned it,

00:23:59.160 he was robbed,

00:24:00.120 and he deserves your loyalty.

00:24:03.300 Would you vote based on that basis?

00:24:05.700 Now, first of all,

00:24:06.940 those are true statements.

00:24:08.680 So let's distinguish

00:24:10.120 between what's a true statement

00:24:11.760 and what's a reason.

00:24:13.940 Here are some true statements.

00:24:15.740 It does feel like he got robbed.

00:24:18.000 I mean, I can't prove it,

00:24:19.620 but it feels like it.

00:24:20.460 It does feel like, you know,

00:24:22.900 he does ask for loyalty

00:24:24.120 and he does get it.

00:24:25.400 He has a very loyal base.

00:24:27.460 And, you know, maybe he got robbed.

00:24:30.380 And maybe he deserves it.

00:24:32.200 I would actually go so far

00:24:33.640 as to say he deserves it.

00:24:35.920 But why would you vote

00:24:38.260 against your own interests?

00:24:40.460 That's the opposite

00:24:41.380 of what you're supposed

00:24:42.040 to be doing is vote.

00:24:43.160 You're supposed to vote

00:24:44.040 for what is good for you,

00:24:46.500 and ideally it's good

00:24:48.360 for the country as well.

00:24:49.320 But first you.

00:24:51.240 There are a number of people

00:24:52.580 who have said directly

00:24:53.500 that their interest is Trump.

00:24:59.940 And I kind of like that

00:25:01.320 because he's so good

00:25:02.460 at what he does

00:25:03.100 and he shows loyalty

00:25:04.660 to his base

00:25:05.500 and they show it back.

00:25:07.940 But that's why

00:25:08.960 you'd vote for him?

00:25:10.840 The reason you should vote

00:25:12.100 for him is you think

00:25:12.820 he'll do the best job.

00:25:14.880 And I don't see that.

00:25:17.040 I think people are actually saying

00:25:18.500 that they're MAGA

00:25:20.220 so they're voting for him.

00:25:22.540 That's not really a reason.

00:25:24.300 Or that he got cheated

00:25:26.140 so they'll vote for him.

00:25:27.100 That's not a reason.

00:25:29.060 Those are not reasons.

00:25:30.360 Those are just truths.

00:25:32.140 Oh, as you see it.

00:25:33.280 I don't know if they're true.

00:25:34.560 But they're just facts

00:25:35.940 or maybe not.

00:25:37.880 But you need a reason.

00:25:38.840 The reason is

00:25:40.700 you're sure he'll do

00:25:42.480 a better job

00:25:43.080 than the other alternatives.

00:25:45.840 Now, you might say to me,

00:25:47.600 but Scott,

00:25:48.080 I just say it that way.

00:25:49.920 Obviously, it's his policies

00:25:51.340 that I'm responding to.

00:25:53.100 I don't think so.

00:25:54.980 I think that you're responding

00:25:56.300 to him first

00:25:57.160 and then it's lucky

00:25:59.220 that you also like his policies.

00:26:01.560 That's a dangerous place to be.

00:26:03.780 You know when the Democrats say

00:26:07.720 that the Trump supporters

00:26:09.760 are a cult?

00:26:11.560 Well, it's not a cult

00:26:13.100 in any traditional way.

00:26:14.600 But it's definitely true

00:26:15.700 that he has created

00:26:17.400 almost a love

00:26:19.820 or a loyalty

00:26:20.860 that people are putting

00:26:22.960 above their own self-interest.

00:26:26.020 They're putting Trump's benefit

00:26:28.140 above their own self-interest.

00:26:31.020 And part of it is because

00:26:32.040 you think he did that for you.

00:26:34.160 Which he did, by the way.

00:26:35.660 He did put

00:26:36.380 the America's best interest

00:26:38.300 above his own.

00:26:39.520 I think he actually did that.

00:26:41.060 Now, obviously,

00:26:42.140 he probably wanted

00:26:42.760 everybody to work out,

00:26:44.400 including himself.

00:26:45.660 But he took a pretty big

00:26:47.740 personal risk

00:26:49.200 to help the country,

00:26:51.780 in my opinion.

00:26:53.340 So I think you could

00:26:54.720 love Trump.

00:26:57.900 I love Trump.

00:27:00.140 Honestly, I just love the guy.

00:27:03.780 So I agree with you

00:27:05.500 if you have a good feeling

00:27:06.440 about him.

00:27:08.000 And also,

00:27:08.740 if you ever have the opportunity

00:27:10.080 to meet him in person,

00:27:11.940 it's hard to walk away

00:27:13.560 without loving him.

00:27:15.160 I mean, he's a really...

00:27:16.500 He's really nice

00:27:18.240 and generous

00:27:20.940 in person.

00:27:22.060 It's hard to walk away

00:27:22.940 and have a bad feeling.

00:27:24.300 So I have a good feeling

00:27:25.520 about him.

00:27:25.940 If he's the candidate,

00:27:28.160 I'll support him completely.

00:27:29.320 But don't vote for him

00:27:33.740 because of your feeling.

00:27:35.060 That's just the worst reason.

00:27:36.660 Vote for him

00:27:37.060 because of what's good for you.

00:27:39.060 Now, here's my argument

00:27:40.100 for Vivek.

00:27:42.060 Even if you love Trump more,

00:27:44.740 even if you think

00:27:45.520 he's the original

00:27:46.300 and Vivek is the imitation,

00:27:51.020 how do you ignore the fact

00:27:52.540 that they're going to come

00:27:54.120 for Trump in a way

00:27:55.100 they would never come

00:27:55.900 for anybody else?

00:27:56.860 How do you not count that

00:28:00.240 in your calculation?

00:28:02.280 Because you can say,

00:28:03.420 well, that's not Trump's fault.

00:28:06.300 Maybe.

00:28:07.100 Maybe it's the Democrats' fault

00:28:08.680 because it's how they come after him.

00:28:11.120 But it's still a fact.

00:28:14.560 You can't say,

00:28:15.500 I wish it weren't true

00:28:16.440 and then say,

00:28:17.240 I'm not going to include it

00:28:18.520 because I wish it weren't true.

00:28:20.040 It's actually true.

00:28:22.360 A Trump presidency

00:28:24.200 could cause the destruction

00:28:25.700 of the entire country.

00:28:27.120 That's not a zero risk.

00:28:29.500 It's above zero.

00:28:30.660 I don't think it's a big risk,

00:28:31.940 but it's above zero

00:28:33.340 and that's a risk

00:28:35.880 you don't have to put up with.

00:28:37.460 You can get younger,

00:28:39.880 younger, stronger,

00:28:41.320 more likely to make change

00:28:42.740 without that.

00:28:46.280 So that's the calculation

00:28:47.820 that some of us are making.

00:28:50.500 But realistically,

00:28:53.100 will Vivek make it to the finish line?

00:28:55.580 Well,

00:28:56.940 probably a lot depends

00:28:58.140 on the next two primaries,

00:28:59.800 but he's also said directly,

00:29:02.500 Vivek has,

00:29:03.500 that he's basically

00:29:05.620 the emergency candidate

00:29:07.280 under glass.

00:29:08.740 I'm paraphrasing.

00:29:10.040 He doesn't say that.

00:29:11.540 But the idea is that

00:29:12.860 the bad people

00:29:14.960 will stop at nothing

00:29:16.000 to stop Trump

00:29:18.660 and there's no limits

00:29:20.000 to what they'll do.

00:29:21.240 Therefore,

00:29:21.720 if you don't have

00:29:22.380 a backup plan ready,

00:29:24.100 you're going to regret it.

00:29:25.820 I actually agree with that.

00:29:27.960 People like Tucker Carlson

00:29:30.180 are saying directly,

00:29:32.180 very directly,

00:29:33.560 it looks like

00:29:34.220 they're going to kill Trump.

00:29:36.920 Now,

00:29:38.240 I'm not going to predict

00:29:40.880 that happens.

00:29:42.500 I think it's more likely

00:29:43.840 they don't.

00:29:45.640 But I do believe

00:29:47.380 it's being discussed.

00:29:51.100 I'm sure there's somewhere

00:29:52.540 in that big, ugly mess

00:29:54.320 of political activity

00:29:56.720 there's somebody

00:29:57.700 talking about it.

00:29:59.240 Probably.

00:30:00.840 Yeah.

00:30:01.080 And I do think

00:30:01.860 we live in a country

00:30:02.680 where that could happen.

00:30:04.280 I do think that

00:30:05.380 the dark forces

00:30:07.280 are that dark.

00:30:09.660 Yeah.

00:30:10.480 And wouldn't be surprised

00:30:11.680 if it's happened before.

00:30:13.860 So let's see.

00:30:17.240 I'm seeing a lot of activity

00:30:18.840 in the anti-Vivek space

00:30:21.280 of people who look

00:30:22.600 like paid trolls,

00:30:23.900 but maybe they're just

00:30:24.740 supporting other candidates.

00:30:26.140 that they're not

00:30:27.060 acting rationally,

00:30:28.620 that the complaints

00:30:30.140 about Vivek

00:30:30.800 are not rational.

00:30:32.500 They really aren't.

00:30:36.840 But if you said,

00:30:38.760 let me tell you,

00:30:39.880 well, let me,

00:30:40.660 let me give you

00:30:41.640 the best arguments

00:30:43.340 against them.

00:30:45.880 The best ones

00:30:46.880 are terrible.

00:30:47.880 The best one is

00:30:49.140 you haven't seen them

00:30:51.280 in a political office,

00:30:52.400 so you don't know

00:30:53.520 what happened.

00:30:54.480 True.

00:30:55.380 Do you think you'd know

00:30:56.140 what's going to happen

00:30:56.760 if Trump got elected?

00:30:59.220 Do you think you knew

00:31:00.260 what was going to happen

00:31:00.980 when Biden got elected?

00:31:02.700 It's all unpredictable.

00:31:04.600 So if you think that,

00:31:05.560 if you think that

00:31:07.880 the Vivek's performance

00:31:09.660 is unpredictable

00:31:10.620 and therefore

00:31:11.460 that's a problem for you,

00:31:12.600 they're all unpredictable.

00:31:14.540 They're all unpredictable.

00:31:15.880 You can tell,

00:31:16.520 you can tell directionally

00:31:17.820 which way he's leaning.

00:31:19.280 You can tell he's

00:31:20.040 a high-end,

00:31:21.480 you know,

00:31:22.220 entrepreneur,

00:31:23.080 CEO type,

00:31:24.160 but you don't know

00:31:25.820 what's going to happen.

00:31:27.480 You know,

00:31:27.780 pretending you know

00:31:28.580 is kind of strange.

00:31:30.400 I'm going to go

00:31:31.040 on record

00:31:31.400 saying that Trump

00:31:32.220 would never pick

00:31:33.040 Vivek as,

00:31:34.960 well,

00:31:35.500 I'm going to say

00:31:35.920 that differently.

00:31:37.140 I don't think Vivek

00:31:38.420 would ever take

00:31:39.000 the vice presidency

00:31:39.940 under Trump.

00:31:42.520 And the reason is simple.

00:31:44.160 He's just too smart.

00:31:46.400 It would be

00:31:47.440 maybe great

00:31:49.920 for the country,

00:31:51.580 might be great

00:31:52.940 for the country,

00:31:53.660 but it would be

00:31:54.960 absurd

00:31:55.680 for Vivek

00:31:56.900 to take a job

00:31:57.840 that would destroy him

00:31:58.780 for the rest of his life.

00:32:00.580 Right?

00:32:01.460 We don't ask

00:32:02.580 our politicians

00:32:03.340 to destroy themselves.

00:32:05.540 Like,

00:32:05.780 that's not something

00:32:06.360 you could ask of him.

00:32:07.660 And I don't think

00:32:08.260 anybody's going to survive

00:32:09.280 being Trump's vice president.

00:32:10.960 Do you?

00:32:11.940 Who in the world

00:32:12.900 is going to survive

00:32:13.940 being Trump's vice president?

00:32:15.860 It's a suicide mission.

00:32:17.920 It's just a suicide mission.

00:32:20.700 Somebody will do it,

00:32:22.300 probably,

00:32:23.240 but it's a suicide mission.

00:32:25.960 So I don't want,

00:32:26.800 I don't wish that

00:32:27.520 in Vivek

00:32:28.160 he would be

00:32:28.880 far more valuable

00:32:29.820 to wait four years

00:32:30.840 and run again.

00:32:32.580 Wouldn't you agree?

00:32:34.040 If you had a choice

00:32:34.960 of a

00:32:35.660 VP Vivek

00:32:37.760 and you thought

00:32:38.480 he could get a lot done

00:32:39.400 but you would certainly

00:32:40.180 be destroyed

00:32:40.900 and processed,

00:32:42.520 wouldn't you rather

00:32:43.280 just keep him fresh

00:32:44.580 as he likes to say,

00:32:46.960 keep a fresh horse?

00:32:48.640 I think that would be

00:32:49.520 the better play.

00:32:50.540 If you think

00:32:51.280 he's that strong,

00:32:53.140 I'd keep him

00:32:53.740 out of trouble

00:32:54.280 for four years.

00:32:55.560 Let's see.

00:33:00.820 Apparently,

00:33:01.500 the Haley supporters

00:33:02.400 in Iowa,

00:33:03.500 50% of them

00:33:04.560 would vote for Biden

00:33:05.500 if it's not Haley.

00:33:07.440 So this is not really

00:33:08.880 a real caucus.

00:33:10.240 I'm not even sure

00:33:11.400 a caucus is real

00:33:12.340 in general.

00:33:13.860 This is totally

00:33:14.800 artificial.

00:33:16.500 It's a bunch

00:33:17.200 of Democrats.

00:33:19.420 The Democrats,

00:33:20.860 because there's no

00:33:21.760 Democrat primary,

00:33:24.340 they can declare

00:33:25.900 themselves whatever

00:33:26.700 they want

00:33:27.240 because they don't

00:33:27.700 have to save

00:33:28.580 themselves to vote

00:33:29.380 for a Democrat.

00:33:30.720 So the independents

00:33:31.880 and the Democrats

00:33:33.060 can pretend

00:33:33.700 the Republicans

00:33:34.540 try to game

00:33:36.760 the system.

00:33:38.040 There are probably

00:33:38.640 enough people

00:33:39.240 gaming the system

00:33:40.340 that the vote

00:33:41.080 won't really be

00:33:43.960 the will of the people,

00:33:45.760 wouldn't you say?

00:33:47.140 I don't believe

00:33:48.240 the will of the people

00:33:49.140 will be expressed

00:33:49.980 in Iowa.

00:33:51.300 Whatever it is,

00:33:53.380 it's

00:33:53.760 some weird

00:33:54.980 combination of

00:33:55.920 effort and media

00:33:57.220 and trickery

00:33:59.260 and influence

00:34:01.460 and all that stuff.

00:34:05.140 Now,

00:34:05.720 I do think

00:34:06.140 there's a high

00:34:06.680 likelihood

00:34:07.080 Vivek will overperform

00:34:08.760 because I think

00:34:10.360 that his supporters

00:34:12.320 are hard to reach

00:34:13.700 in a poll.

00:34:15.320 Don't know.

00:34:16.740 And I would say

00:34:17.320 that Vivek's

00:34:17.960 in good shape

00:34:18.700 if he beats

00:34:19.420 any one

00:34:20.120 of the candidates.

00:34:20.920 So if Vivek

00:34:22.740 were to edge out

00:34:23.920 DeSantis,

00:34:24.740 for example,

00:34:26.420 and we looked

00:34:27.520 at Haley

00:34:28.380 and said,

00:34:29.060 oh, wait a minute.

00:34:30.600 It looks like

00:34:31.240 Vivek legitimately

00:34:32.340 beat DeSantis

00:34:33.220 and the only person

00:34:35.080 who beat him

00:34:35.620 was Haley

00:34:36.140 and her votes

00:34:37.100 are fake.

00:34:37.840 They're Democrats.

00:34:39.460 Then how do you like it?

00:34:42.300 Think about it.

00:34:43.720 This is a very,

00:34:45.540 a pretty solid possibility.

00:34:47.240 If he beats DeSantis,

00:34:49.840 that's serious.

00:34:52.020 But if he comes in

00:34:53.100 still quite behind Haley,

00:34:55.180 he still looks like

00:34:56.580 he beat her

00:34:57.140 because you would

00:34:59.080 suspect her votes

00:35:00.020 are fake.

00:35:01.520 Right?

00:35:03.000 Just think about

00:35:03.880 the day after.

00:35:05.480 If he places

00:35:06.320 above DeSantis,

00:35:09.380 he's your strong

00:35:10.440 number two

00:35:11.140 even if he comes

00:35:12.360 in number three.

00:35:14.880 I don't think

00:35:15.760 you're prepared

00:35:16.660 for that

00:35:17.180 because as long

00:35:18.880 as Haley looks

00:35:19.600 like an illegitimate

00:35:20.940 vote-getter

00:35:21.960 because of all

00:35:22.520 the Democrat trickery,

00:35:24.320 it's going to look

00:35:25.020 like Vivek won.

00:35:27.180 And by the way,

00:35:28.120 coming in second

00:35:28.880 to Trump

00:35:29.480 is going to look

00:35:31.120 like winning it

00:35:31.960 because that would

00:35:33.700 be the surprise.

00:35:36.300 So when Vivek

00:35:37.340 says he's got

00:35:38.020 a surprise coming,

00:35:39.540 nobody can guarantee

00:35:40.520 anything.

00:35:41.740 Nobody can guarantee

00:35:42.560 anything.

00:35:44.120 But boy,

00:35:44.960 does he have

00:35:45.480 a possibility.

00:35:46.660 he really has

00:35:48.020 the possibility

00:35:48.660 to shake

00:35:50.380 the planet.

00:35:52.220 So much

00:35:52.740 of the rest

00:35:53.400 of your life

00:35:54.320 will be decided

00:35:56.880 in little

00:35:58.100 frozen Iowa

00:35:59.000 today.

00:36:00.620 Much of the rest

00:36:01.960 of your life

00:36:02.960 will be decided

00:36:04.100 today.

00:36:05.400 Could be.

00:36:06.900 Could be.

00:36:08.000 Don't know.

00:36:08.760 All right.

00:36:15.820 There's a poll

00:36:16.720 of ABC News,

00:36:18.840 Ipsos,

00:36:20.100 asked people

00:36:20.700 about their

00:36:21.160 support.

00:36:21.580 Apparently only

00:36:22.060 33% said they

00:36:23.800 approve of Biden

00:36:24.500 now,

00:36:24.900 and that's

00:36:25.260 the lowest,

00:36:26.660 that's just

00:36:27.100 about the lowest

00:36:28.060 a president's

00:36:29.040 ever had

00:36:29.620 since, I don't

00:36:30.960 know,

00:36:31.140 George Bush

00:36:31.740 or something.

00:36:32.860 So,

00:36:33.580 how in the world

00:36:35.600 are we even

00:36:36.220 talking about this

00:36:37.140 being the

00:36:37.620 competitive race?

00:36:40.200 The Democrat

00:36:41.020 has the lowest

00:36:42.380 numbers.

00:36:43.260 And you know

00:36:43.560 what else is at

00:36:44.180 an all-time low

00:36:44.980 or almost?

00:36:46.700 The number

00:36:47.540 of registered

00:36:48.320 Democrats.

00:36:49.060 So the number

00:36:50.840 of Democrats

00:36:51.500 has decreased

00:36:52.540 while Biden's

00:36:54.100 in office.

00:36:55.600 People are

00:36:56.260 literally running

00:36:57.000 scared from

00:36:57.980 even being

00:36:58.480 associated as

00:36:59.320 a Democrat.

00:37:00.200 I think they're

00:37:00.720 probably just

00:37:01.160 registering Democrats.

00:37:02.760 I think they're

00:37:03.420 just registering

00:37:04.100 independents.

00:37:05.360 They're not

00:37:06.020 changing to

00:37:06.580 Republicans.

00:37:07.360 So you just

00:37:08.140 can't tell who

00:37:08.720 they are,

00:37:09.360 which is an

00:37:10.480 interesting thing

00:37:11.460 because if you

00:37:12.040 can't tell who

00:37:12.580 the Democrats

00:37:13.160 and the Republicans

00:37:13.840 are,

00:37:14.900 if they all

00:37:15.380 start registering

00:37:16.680 as independents,

00:37:20.140 that could get

00:37:20.700 confusing.

00:37:22.340 It already is.

00:37:24.020 All right,

00:37:24.260 so let me ask

00:37:25.640 you this.

00:37:26.780 I'll bet you

00:37:27.240 can get pretty

00:37:27.760 close to guessing

00:37:28.520 this answer.

00:37:31.120 And if you're

00:37:31.900 just joining us,

00:37:32.780 watch how smart

00:37:33.740 my audience is.

00:37:34.800 That's right.

00:37:35.780 That's the answer

00:37:36.720 before I ask

00:37:37.500 the question.

00:37:39.260 Yeah.

00:37:40.880 The number

00:37:41.640 of respondents

00:37:42.280 who say that

00:37:43.260 Biden has

00:37:44.720 the adequate

00:37:45.340 mental sharpness

00:37:46.340 for the job,

00:37:47.960 28%.

00:37:49.280 Let me repeat

00:37:51.980 that.

00:37:53.620 Of all

00:37:54.700 voters,

00:37:55.520 not just

00:37:56.200 Republicans,

00:37:57.360 all voters,

00:38:00.020 only 28%

00:38:01.820 think the

00:38:03.320 president of

00:38:03.860 the United

00:38:04.180 States is

00:38:04.980 mentally fit.

00:38:07.800 And he's

00:38:08.660 running dead

00:38:09.940 even with

00:38:10.620 Trump practically

00:38:11.480 in Poland.

00:38:12.000 28%.

00:38:14.180 But don't

00:38:15.080 get too

00:38:15.460 cocky,

00:38:16.260 because 47%

00:38:17.380 say Trump

00:38:18.440 is not

00:38:18.900 mentally sharp

00:38:20.120 enough to

00:38:20.520 be president.

00:38:21.920 So about

00:38:22.680 half of the

00:38:23.220 people say

00:38:23.860 Trump's not

00:38:25.380 capable mentally.

00:38:27.160 28%

00:38:28.160 say that

00:38:30.280 Biden is.

00:38:32.900 And you're

00:38:33.620 going to let

00:38:34.020 Vivek

00:38:34.600 not be

00:38:36.600 a candidate?

00:38:37.240 Just hold

00:38:40.720 this in

00:38:41.040 your mind

00:38:41.400 for a

00:38:41.720 moment,

00:38:42.960 that the

00:38:43.300 two major

00:38:43.820 parties have

00:38:44.840 probably

00:38:45.780 settled,

00:38:46.920 we'll find

00:38:47.580 out today,

00:38:48.780 but may

00:38:49.060 have settled

00:38:49.540 on the

00:38:49.980 two least

00:38:50.660 mentally

00:38:51.160 capable

00:38:51.620 people that

00:38:52.260 we all

00:38:52.580 know,

00:38:53.360 who are

00:38:53.580 in politics.

00:38:54.600 Because there's

00:38:55.300 nobody else

00:38:55.900 who would

00:38:56.120 have gotten

00:38:56.380 these scores.

00:38:58.560 You can't

00:38:59.140 think of any

00:38:59.640 other candidate

00:39:00.300 who would

00:39:01.240 have gotten

00:39:01.480 so low

00:39:02.080 scores for

00:39:02.880 being mentally

00:39:03.620 fit.

00:39:05.060 Now,

00:39:05.380 I think

00:39:05.680 Trump is

00:39:06.180 fine.

00:39:06.500 he's not

00:39:07.400 giving off

00:39:07.900 any suggestion

00:39:09.080 of not

00:39:09.560 being mentally

00:39:10.100 fit.

00:39:10.560 But he is

00:39:10.960 a certain

00:39:11.260 age.

00:39:12.300 So if it

00:39:13.040 happens,

00:39:13.420 it's going

00:39:13.680 to happen

00:39:13.940 fast.

00:39:15.120 How in

00:39:15.480 the world

00:39:16.000 do you

00:39:17.280 look at

00:39:17.700 Vivek,

00:39:18.880 probably the

00:39:20.280 smartest person

00:39:21.040 who's runs

00:39:21.480 for president

00:39:22.160 since Jefferson,

00:39:24.340 and not

00:39:25.080 want that?

00:39:26.600 How do you

00:39:27.020 not want

00:39:27.820 the G20

00:39:29.160 to look at

00:39:29.840 your president

00:39:30.480 and say,

00:39:31.200 oh,

00:39:32.520 I better

00:39:33.260 up my game

00:39:33.920 if I'm

00:39:34.240 going to

00:39:34.420 talk to

00:39:34.740 that guy?

00:39:35.140 You want

00:39:38.220 the G20

00:39:38.820 to be a

00:39:39.800 little bit

00:39:40.140 intimidated

00:39:40.620 by your

00:39:41.260 president,

00:39:42.620 and not

00:39:43.040 just because

00:39:43.460 he's a

00:39:43.800 bully.

00:39:44.900 But I

00:39:45.540 don't think

00:39:45.880 we're sending

00:39:46.340 a fear

00:39:47.020 into the

00:39:47.440 other

00:39:47.600 countries.

00:39:48.020 If our

00:39:49.340 own country

00:39:49.860 thinks our

00:39:50.320 president at

00:39:51.080 least would

00:39:51.400 be 50%

00:39:52.840 would think

00:39:53.220 he's not

00:39:53.580 mentally

00:39:53.920 sharp enough

00:39:54.500 or maybe

00:39:54.960 70%.

00:39:57.460 Anyway,

00:39:59.780 here are

00:40:01.040 all the

00:40:01.300 Nikki Haley

00:40:01.860 rumors.

00:40:02.360 rumors.

00:40:04.020 One is

00:40:04.780 that Trump

00:40:06.120 has already

00:40:07.000 picked Nikki

00:40:07.800 Haley as

00:40:08.600 his VP,

00:40:09.840 at least

00:40:10.140 mentally,

00:40:11.380 and that

00:40:12.120 she will

00:40:14.120 drop out

00:40:14.880 and endorse

00:40:15.920 Trump in

00:40:17.280 return for

00:40:18.020 the vice

00:40:19.060 presidency.

00:40:20.540 How many

00:40:21.380 think that's

00:40:21.900 going to

00:40:22.040 happen?

00:40:23.340 I'd say

00:40:24.220 nope,

00:40:25.280 nope,

00:40:26.120 no.

00:40:27.160 I do

00:40:27.940 not see

00:40:28.460 Trump

00:40:28.860 shooting

00:40:29.920 himself in

00:40:30.560 the foot,

00:40:31.180 the head,

00:40:31.540 and the

00:40:32.020 chest.

00:40:34.860 There's

00:40:35.300 no chance.

00:40:37.260 That wouldn't

00:40:37.940 be just

00:40:38.300 shooting

00:40:38.560 yourself in

00:40:39.140 the foot.

00:40:39.640 That would

00:40:39.860 be like a

00:40:40.740 chest, a

00:40:41.360 head, a

00:40:41.840 double tap.

00:40:43.320 How in the

00:40:43.800 world does

00:40:44.140 anybody think

00:40:44.520 that's going

00:40:44.900 to happen?

00:40:46.080 No way.

00:40:47.080 I wouldn't

00:40:47.720 support him.

00:40:49.200 By the way,

00:40:50.000 let me say

00:40:50.420 that.

00:40:50.980 If he

00:40:51.320 picked

00:40:51.580 Nikki Haley,

00:40:52.500 I wouldn't

00:40:52.860 support

00:40:53.180 Trump.

00:40:54.200 That would

00:40:54.700 be lights

00:40:56.520 out.

00:40:57.080 So I know

00:40:57.520 he's not

00:40:57.840 going to do

00:40:58.200 it.

00:40:58.740 He's not

00:40:59.120 going to do

00:40:59.460 that.

00:41:00.240 Because he

00:41:00.620 knows a

00:41:01.480 lot of

00:41:01.680 people

00:41:01.900 would say

00:41:02.220 the same

00:41:02.580 thing.

00:41:05.680 Here's

00:41:06.200 some more

00:41:06.680 Nikki Haley

00:41:07.480 rumors.

00:41:09.400 Mark Cuban

00:41:10.060 has actually

00:41:10.700 tweeted or

00:41:12.200 posted that

00:41:13.040 how many

00:41:14.260 Iowa

00:41:16.640 crossover

00:41:17.220 voters

00:41:17.760 were out

00:41:18.040 there for

00:41:18.800 Haley.

00:41:19.660 He's

00:41:19.980 actually

00:41:20.420 acknowledging,

00:41:21.700 as we

00:41:22.040 know,

00:41:22.920 that Haley's

00:41:23.460 voters will

00:41:24.000 not be

00:41:24.540 genuine.

00:41:27.100 So they

00:41:27.580 say that

00:41:27.960 loud.

00:41:28.300 So the

00:41:29.620 Iowa caucus

00:41:30.260 is really

00:41:30.740 just a

00:41:31.160 joke with

00:41:32.060 the

00:41:32.260 crossover

00:41:32.660 votes.

00:41:35.420 Vivek

00:41:36.020 says the

00:41:36.920 plan is

00:41:37.540 to take

00:41:39.200 Trump out

00:41:39.860 after he

00:41:40.620 wins the

00:41:41.260 nomination,

00:41:42.920 but after

00:41:43.600 he's picked,

00:41:44.340 I guess,

00:41:45.180 Haley as

00:41:45.620 a VP,

00:41:46.640 and then

00:41:46.940 she can

00:41:47.200 be slotted

00:41:47.800 in there

00:41:48.240 after they

00:41:48.720 take him

00:41:49.160 out.

00:41:50.940 But this

00:41:51.680 also assumes

00:41:52.460 that Trump

00:41:52.940 picks Haley

00:41:54.140 as the

00:41:54.620 VP,

00:41:55.400 doesn't it?

00:41:56.520 Or does

00:41:58.200 it?

00:41:58.520 I suppose

00:41:58.920 it could

00:41:59.740 still work

00:42:00.340 if she

00:42:01.180 simply did

00:42:02.260 well and

00:42:02.800 then they

00:42:03.120 just give

00:42:03.940 her the

00:42:04.320 nomination.

00:42:06.940 They'd have

00:42:07.560 to explain

00:42:08.100 why they're

00:42:08.460 not giving

00:42:08.880 it to

00:42:09.240 DeSantis.

00:42:10.440 But if

00:42:11.160 Nikki Haley

00:42:12.040 does unusually

00:42:13.020 well in

00:42:13.780 the early

00:42:15.600 states and

00:42:17.960 Trump gets

00:42:18.520 taken out,

00:42:20.260 you can

00:42:21.160 see why

00:42:21.760 there'd be

00:42:23.040 a fear

00:42:23.360 that Nikki

00:42:23.900 Haley might

00:42:24.480 be waiting

00:42:25.180 in the

00:42:25.440 wings to

00:42:25.940 be slotted

00:42:26.480 in by

00:42:27.380 the evil

00:42:27.980 powers that

00:42:28.640 are.

00:42:29.420 So in

00:42:29.760 that context,

00:42:30.600 Vivek offers

00:42:31.360 himself as

00:42:32.220 the solution

00:42:33.060 to that.

00:42:34.520 Because if

00:42:35.420 you've got a

00:42:36.040 Vivek, who

00:42:37.340 I call the

00:42:37.980 sword of

00:42:38.620 truth, I

00:42:40.720 kind of like

00:42:41.080 that, the

00:42:41.500 sword of

00:42:41.900 truth, because

00:42:43.020 truth is his

00:42:43.700 campaign thing.

00:42:47.220 I don't think

00:42:48.160 they're going to

00:42:48.520 take Trump

00:42:49.040 out if

00:42:49.660 there's a

00:42:50.060 Vivek in

00:42:50.580 the sidelines

00:42:51.140 that could

00:42:51.500 win.

00:42:53.320 That would

00:42:53.940 be too

00:42:54.220 dangerous.

00:42:55.440 NBC is

00:42:56.380 talking about

00:42:56.820 how the

00:42:57.020 Democrats

00:42:57.400 are organizing

00:42:58.820 a military

00:42:59.560 coup against

00:43:00.460 Trump.

00:43:02.000 Now, I

00:43:02.440 use that

00:43:02.880 word advisedly,

00:43:05.640 hyperbolically,

00:43:07.820 because what

00:43:08.540 they're trying

00:43:08.880 to do is

00:43:09.280 make sure

00:43:09.640 that the

00:43:10.280 military, the

00:43:11.320 U.S.

00:43:11.660 military, doesn't

00:43:13.040 necessarily do

00:43:14.020 what Trump

00:43:14.480 asks if he

00:43:15.640 becomes

00:43:16.020 president.

00:43:17.320 That's

00:43:17.840 actually

00:43:18.260 happening.

00:43:19.300 Now, how

00:43:20.160 do you not

00:43:20.540 get executed

00:43:21.240 for doing

00:43:21.680 that?

00:43:21.920 how is

00:43:25.240 that not

00:43:25.700 literally a

00:43:26.440 capital

00:43:26.780 offense, where

00:43:28.020 if you're

00:43:28.440 prosecuted, you

00:43:29.240 get executed

00:43:29.880 for it?

00:43:31.040 How in the

00:43:31.520 world are

00:43:33.580 our politicians

00:43:34.280 allowed to

00:43:34.980 talk to

00:43:35.360 members of

00:43:35.820 the military

00:43:36.320 and try to

00:43:36.940 convince them

00:43:37.640 not to

00:43:38.560 follow their

00:43:39.100 boss, the

00:43:40.720 commander-in-chief?

00:43:42.440 And if they

00:43:43.280 were to succeed

00:43:44.120 at this

00:43:44.560 mission, would

00:43:45.820 that not be

00:43:46.880 an insurrection

00:43:49.160 traitors?

00:43:51.820 Isn't that

00:43:52.460 the death

00:43:52.860 sentence?

00:43:54.060 I thought we

00:43:54.860 had a long

00:43:55.280 tradition of

00:43:55.860 that being

00:43:56.180 literally the

00:43:56.800 death sentence,

00:43:57.960 because there's

00:43:58.380 nothing worse

00:43:58.940 you can do.

00:44:00.040 But not only

00:44:00.640 is it being

00:44:01.040 done, but

00:44:01.560 NBC is just

00:44:02.540 unashamedly

00:44:03.360 reporting it.

00:44:06.220 Like it's

00:44:06.940 somehow just

00:44:07.560 sort of normal

00:44:08.260 business.

00:44:09.540 You know, and

00:44:09.740 NBC is the

00:44:10.460 one that the

00:44:11.540 smart people

00:44:12.100 say is just

00:44:12.760 the CIA's

00:44:13.820 organ.

00:44:15.020 So that's

00:44:16.660 pretty scary.

00:44:18.000 So when

00:44:18.300 Vivek says

00:44:19.120 they will

00:44:20.040 stop at

00:44:20.680 nothing to

00:44:22.940 prevent Trump

00:44:23.640 from taking

00:44:24.120 office, he's

00:44:25.480 serious.

00:44:26.500 That's not an

00:44:27.240 exaggeration.

00:44:28.720 They would

00:44:29.060 stop at

00:44:29.500 nothing, including

00:44:30.880 murdering him,

00:44:31.740 cheating, rigging

00:44:33.080 the election,

00:44:34.360 whatever it

00:44:34.820 takes.

00:44:35.520 I do believe

00:44:36.400 they would

00:44:36.660 stop at

00:44:37.040 nothing.

00:44:40.220 So we'll

00:44:41.120 keep an

00:44:41.460 eye on

00:44:41.800 that.

00:44:43.280 The only

00:44:44.040 reason that

00:44:44.520 doesn't scare

00:44:45.180 me more is

00:44:46.640 that I

00:44:48.820 think the

00:44:49.200 military is

00:44:50.600 probably, I

00:44:52.440 hope, still

00:44:53.760 too well

00:44:54.380 trained for

00:44:54.920 that to be

00:44:55.300 an issue.

00:44:56.520 I mean, I

00:44:56.840 don't think

00:44:57.160 there's anybody

00:44:57.580 in the

00:44:57.820 military who

00:44:58.360 doesn't learn

00:44:59.080 that they

00:45:00.380 have a

00:45:00.980 civilian rule.

00:45:02.740 Do you

00:45:02.940 think there's

00:45:03.300 anybody in

00:45:03.680 the military

00:45:04.020 who doesn't

00:45:04.620 know that if

00:45:06.600 a general

00:45:07.020 says yes and

00:45:07.900 the commander

00:45:08.860 in chief says

00:45:09.440 no, that the

00:45:10.800 commander in chief

00:45:11.400 is the boss?

00:45:12.300 I think they

00:45:12.720 all know that.

00:45:14.320 So asking

00:45:15.840 the military

00:45:16.520 to be

00:45:16.880 traitors, I

00:45:18.800 can't see that

00:45:19.860 they're getting a

00:45:20.400 good reaction to

00:45:21.200 that, but I

00:45:21.880 hope not.

00:45:23.600 Anyway.

00:45:26.640 Trump was

00:45:28.380 funny at his

00:45:29.380 rally in

00:45:30.000 Iowa.

00:45:31.660 So, you

00:45:32.160 know, of

00:45:32.460 course, it's

00:45:32.840 just insanely

00:45:33.820 cold there, and

00:45:34.780 there's a big

00:45:35.520 snowstorm, and

00:45:36.380 I mean, it's

00:45:36.840 just really

00:45:37.260 dangerous cold.

00:45:38.940 And Trump

00:45:39.880 said, quote,

00:45:41.180 you can't

00:45:41.640 stay home.

00:45:42.360 If you're

00:45:42.700 sick as a

00:45:43.240 dog, you

00:45:43.700 say, darling,

00:45:44.860 I got to

00:45:45.340 make it, Trump

00:45:46.320 said at the

00:45:48.460 rally.

00:45:49.220 Even if you

00:45:50.000 vote and then

00:45:50.640 pass away, it's

00:45:51.820 worth it.

00:45:54.880 Even if you

00:45:55.740 vote and pass

00:45:56.720 away, it's

00:45:58.240 worth it.

00:46:01.280 Now, when

00:46:02.460 you see it

00:46:03.000 reported, it's

00:46:05.080 reported like he

00:46:05.980 doesn't like his,

00:46:06.820 he doesn't care

00:46:07.960 about his

00:46:08.640 supporters, and

00:46:10.860 the only thing he

00:46:11.460 cares about is

00:46:12.020 getting elected.

00:46:12.860 That's the way

00:46:13.460 it's being

00:46:13.780 presented.

00:46:14.920 If you watch

00:46:15.460 the video, the

00:46:16.780 audience thinks

00:46:17.400 it's pretty funny,

00:46:19.160 and so do I.

00:46:20.440 I laughed when I

00:46:21.480 read it, but I

00:46:22.100 laughed harder when

00:46:22.780 I heard him say

00:46:23.580 it.

00:46:24.500 Yeah.

00:46:25.180 To imagine that

00:46:26.340 this is a

00:46:26.860 negative, that

00:46:28.100 this is why they

00:46:29.180 love him.

00:46:30.260 This is exactly

00:46:31.320 why they love

00:46:32.180 him, because he

00:46:33.180 can make them

00:46:33.700 laugh.

00:46:34.760 He feels part

00:46:35.620 of them.

00:46:36.820 The other

00:46:39.000 big knock I

00:46:41.480 saw against

00:46:42.040 Vivek, people

00:46:43.640 said they

00:46:44.060 didn't like

00:46:44.560 Vivek because

00:46:45.280 he's not

00:46:45.740 MAGA, to

00:46:47.560 which I say,

00:46:48.480 there's

00:46:50.040 everything wrong

00:46:50.880 with that

00:46:51.220 opinion.

00:46:52.460 Number one,

00:46:53.500 his opinions

00:46:54.500 are completely

00:46:55.640 compatible with

00:46:56.640 what the MAGA

00:46:57.220 people like,

00:46:57.900 completely.

00:46:59.320 Number two,

00:47:00.840 why should

00:47:01.600 somebody be

00:47:02.420 MAGA?

00:47:02.960 isn't it good

00:47:06.660 enough that you

00:47:07.160 have all the

00:47:07.560 right policies and

00:47:08.840 you're brilliant and

00:47:09.880 capable?

00:47:11.460 You got to put on a

00:47:13.540 MAGA hat or you

00:47:14.440 can't be supported?

00:47:16.080 See, that's where

00:47:17.440 people talk about it

00:47:18.580 being a cult.

00:47:20.400 I've never identified

00:47:21.620 as MAGA, because I

00:47:23.380 think identifying with

00:47:24.420 something that people

00:47:25.460 will call a MAGA is

00:47:27.620 just a bad play.

00:47:28.860 You can see it

00:47:29.760 coming.

00:47:30.740 But also, it's

00:47:31.900 joining.

00:47:33.400 Why should you be a

00:47:34.460 joiner?

00:47:35.480 Why can't you just

00:47:36.220 support somebody

00:47:37.300 because you like what

00:47:38.040 they might do?

00:47:39.260 Why do you have to

00:47:39.780 be on the team?

00:47:41.400 Why do you have to

00:47:41.840 have, like, why do

00:47:43.180 you have to get a

00:47:43.840 tattoo on it or

00:47:44.840 whatever it is?

00:47:48.080 Stop it.

00:47:48.800 I saw that

00:47:49.400 comment.

00:47:50.980 Stop it,

00:47:51.560 colonizers.

00:47:55.140 Yeah, so I

00:47:56.580 wouldn't give

00:47:57.500 them a ding for

00:47:58.200 not being MAGA.

00:47:59.760 I think you

00:48:00.320 ought to be, we

00:48:01.280 all need to be

00:48:01.860 careful whether

00:48:02.560 we're supporting

00:48:04.280 ourselves or him.

00:48:06.240 And just make

00:48:08.480 sure you're doing

00:48:09.760 what's good for

00:48:10.400 you, not voting

00:48:11.340 for Trump because

00:48:12.260 you're MAGA and

00:48:13.260 he's owed the

00:48:14.880 presidency.

00:48:15.860 Those are not

00:48:16.600 good reasons.

00:48:18.920 But I love

00:48:19.660 Trump.

00:48:20.420 I think he's

00:48:20.880 great.

00:48:21.940 All right.

00:48:23.620 Here's my problem

00:48:24.860 with Trump's

00:48:26.300 chances.

00:48:26.780 So we know

00:48:28.540 now that the

00:48:29.080 Democrats are

00:48:29.860 going to spring

00:48:30.740 the he's a

00:48:31.460 dictator trap.

00:48:33.000 And the way the

00:48:33.400 trap works is they

00:48:34.420 prime everybody and

00:48:35.640 say he's a

00:48:36.240 dictator, he's a

00:48:36.980 dictator.

00:48:38.140 And then they

00:48:39.400 wait for something

00:48:40.060 to happen.

00:48:41.180 And then they say,

00:48:42.400 there it is.

00:48:43.180 We told you.

00:48:44.340 There he is.

00:48:45.220 Acting like a

00:48:45.760 dictator.

00:48:47.140 And my problem

00:48:48.520 is I don't think

00:48:50.460 he can escape this

00:48:51.440 trap.

00:48:52.740 It's a good

00:48:53.480 trap.

00:48:54.740 He's the only

00:48:55.420 person in the

00:48:55.920 world who can't

00:48:56.440 get out of it.

00:48:57.600 I believe that

00:48:58.660 100% of the

00:48:59.700 rest of us, like

00:49:00.700 everybody else on

00:49:01.680 the planet except

00:49:02.500 Trump, could

00:49:04.560 easily refute the

00:49:06.280 charge that you

00:49:07.180 plan to be a

00:49:07.840 dictator.

00:49:08.780 You could just

00:49:09.620 laugh about it.

00:49:11.240 You'd say, how

00:49:12.240 am I going to do

00:49:12.740 that?

00:49:15.140 Don Jr.

00:49:16.020 didn't even know

00:49:16.620 that there was

00:49:17.040 trouble at the

00:49:19.620 January 6th.

00:49:20.680 Well, that's not

00:49:21.200 sure.

00:49:21.760 Don Jr.

00:49:22.300 was not part of

00:49:23.120 any kind of

00:49:23.680 January 6th

00:49:26.620 coup.

00:49:27.840 We can tell

00:49:28.600 from the

00:49:28.920 records he

00:49:29.380 didn't have any

00:49:30.240 idea there was

00:49:30.780 any coup going

00:49:31.560 on.

00:49:32.240 Of course, it

00:49:32.560 wasn't.

00:49:33.460 There was a

00:49:33.800 protest.

00:49:36.340 But here's what

00:49:37.100 the AP says.

00:49:38.240 So here's how

00:49:38.800 they characterize

00:49:39.420 Trump in their

00:49:40.620 title.

00:49:42.400 They say in his

00:49:43.200 closing pitch to

00:49:44.080 Iowa Republicans,

00:49:45.040 Trump says their

00:49:47.200 vote can help him

00:49:48.140 punish his

00:49:48.720 enemies.

00:49:51.200 Do you want to

00:49:51.660 vote for the

00:49:52.160 candidate just

00:49:52.900 so you can

00:49:53.360 punish his

00:49:54.060 enemies?

00:49:55.240 That's not a

00:49:55.920 good reason.

00:49:57.080 It's also not

00:49:58.020 what he said.

00:49:59.840 It's fake news.

00:50:01.020 He didn't say

00:50:01.480 that.

00:50:02.380 If you read the

00:50:03.180 title, it looks

00:50:04.600 like he did.

00:50:05.900 If you read the

00:50:06.640 quote, and at

00:50:08.000 least to their

00:50:08.500 credit, they give

00:50:09.160 him the quote,

00:50:10.060 here's what he

00:50:10.780 actually said.

00:50:13.180 Well, this is

00:50:14.080 what they also

00:50:15.060 said.

00:50:15.320 So AP

00:50:15.980 characterized him

00:50:17.100 this way.

00:50:18.040 So they

00:50:18.520 further

00:50:18.880 characterized him

00:50:19.920 as Donald

00:50:21.300 Trump implored

00:50:21.940 his supporters

00:50:23.500 on Sunday to

00:50:24.720 brave the

00:50:25.200 frigid temperatures

00:50:25.960 and deliver him

00:50:26.960 a decisive

00:50:27.540 victory, blah,

00:50:29.000 blah, blah,

00:50:29.360 saying their

00:50:29.820 vote would help

00:50:30.420 bring to

00:50:30.860 Washington the

00:50:32.020 retribution he

00:50:33.260 has repeatedly

00:50:33.920 promised.

00:50:35.840 So if he's

00:50:36.780 all about the

00:50:37.640 punishing his

00:50:38.600 enemies and

00:50:40.160 all about the

00:50:41.020 retribution, then

00:50:42.840 when they give

00:50:43.400 the quote of

00:50:44.180 exactly what he

00:50:44.980 said, you

00:50:45.540 should see

00:50:46.060 punishing my

00:50:47.400 enemies and

00:50:48.140 retribution,

00:50:48.860 right?

00:50:49.940 Because that's

00:50:50.320 how they

00:50:50.580 characterized it.

00:50:51.780 So here's the

00:50:52.220 actual quote.

00:50:53.660 So you find the

00:50:54.540 retribution and

00:50:55.700 the punishment in

00:50:57.220 the actual quote.

00:50:58.460 Quote from

00:50:59.720 Trump, these

00:51:00.340 caucuses are your

00:51:01.360 personal chance

00:51:02.340 to score the

00:51:03.320 ultimate victory

00:51:04.220 over all the

00:51:05.280 liars, cheaters,

00:51:06.680 thugs, perverts,

00:51:07.740 frauds, crooks,

00:51:08.940 freaks, creeps,

00:51:09.620 and other quite

00:51:10.240 nice people.

00:51:12.320 Trump told the

00:51:13.280 audience,

00:51:14.180 and then

00:51:14.780 quote, the

00:51:15.280 Washington swamp

00:51:16.040 has done

00:51:16.500 everything in

00:51:17.000 its power to

00:51:17.560 take away your

00:51:18.240 voice, but

00:51:19.340 tomorrow is

00:51:19.980 your time to

00:51:20.780 turn on them

00:51:21.440 and say, to

00:51:23.300 say and speak

00:51:24.020 your mind and

00:51:24.720 to vote.

00:51:26.500 His quote is

00:51:28.140 about the

00:51:28.720 citizens getting

00:51:29.840 what they want.

00:51:33.520 And the AP

00:51:34.500 turned it into

00:51:35.300 punishing his

00:51:36.140 enemies.

00:51:38.080 It's not even

00:51:38.920 close.

00:51:39.860 That's not even

00:51:40.420 close to what he

00:51:41.120 said.

00:51:42.000 He very clearly

00:51:42.900 put it in the

00:51:43.800 terms of what's

00:51:45.300 good for his

00:51:45.960 voters.

00:51:46.980 He took their

00:51:47.640 perspective.

00:51:49.000 He said, from

00:51:49.720 your perspective,

00:51:50.620 you don't want

00:51:51.180 all these cheaters,

00:51:52.500 thugs, and

00:51:52.960 perverts, which

00:51:54.360 is exactly what

00:51:55.300 they don't want.

00:51:57.100 So you can see

00:51:58.740 how easy it will

00:51:59.520 be to craft the

00:52:00.460 he's a dictator,

00:52:02.060 just wants his

00:52:02.760 revenge,

00:52:04.400 everybody's a

00:52:05.220 puppet.

00:52:05.980 They can literally

00:52:06.680 just make up a

00:52:07.620 headline and

00:52:08.480 attach it to

00:52:09.260 some real story

00:52:10.180 and people will

00:52:11.300 just read the

00:52:11.760 headline.

00:52:12.060 And it will

00:52:14.560 work.

00:52:20.320 So I

00:52:22.600 believe that

00:52:23.080 Trump is the

00:52:23.760 only candidate

00:52:24.660 who would not

00:52:25.520 have the ability

00:52:26.260 to debunk

00:52:28.620 and completely

00:52:29.400 destroy the

00:52:30.240 narrative that

00:52:30.940 he's going to

00:52:32.700 be a dictator.

00:52:33.280 I think he's

00:52:35.040 too wed to

00:52:36.180 the strength

00:52:38.080 projection,

00:52:39.780 looking strong

00:52:40.740 and going

00:52:41.140 and going

00:52:41.160 after his

00:52:41.820 enemies and

00:52:42.620 stuff.

00:52:43.320 And as long

00:52:43.880 as he does

00:52:44.300 that, he's

00:52:45.680 just going to

00:52:46.180 fall all the

00:52:46.980 way to the

00:52:47.360 bottom of the

00:52:47.920 trap.

00:52:49.280 So if I had

00:52:50.740 to bet on

00:52:51.320 him, it

00:52:53.780 doesn't look

00:52:54.220 good, actually.

00:52:55.560 If he gets a

00:52:56.400 nomination, even

00:52:58.600 with the polling,

00:52:59.840 I think they

00:53:00.840 will just paint

00:53:01.420 him as a

00:53:02.560 dictator and it'll

00:53:04.580 work.

00:53:04.860 I think it'll

00:53:06.620 work.

00:53:07.440 So I worry

00:53:07.980 that he can't

00:53:08.580 win, even

00:53:09.580 if he gets

00:53:10.100 nominated.

00:53:13.480 So there's

00:53:14.300 that.

00:53:14.620 I'm not sure

00:53:15.020 if anybody

00:53:15.380 else can,

00:53:16.280 because the

00:53:18.560 system is the

00:53:19.300 system.

00:53:20.420 But they do

00:53:21.780 have the one

00:53:22.680 trap that he

00:53:23.980 uniquely can't

00:53:24.940 get out of.

00:53:26.240 I don't know

00:53:26.760 how to ignore

00:53:27.280 that.

00:53:28.320 By the way,

00:53:28.920 does anybody

00:53:29.280 disagree?

00:53:30.600 Does anybody

00:53:31.060 think that

00:53:31.620 Trump will

00:53:32.960 just breezily

00:53:34.040 dismiss the

00:53:35.040 dictator thing

00:53:35.840 and he'll

00:53:36.780 just make it

00:53:37.280 go away by

00:53:38.220 not acting like

00:53:39.360 a dictator and

00:53:40.140 laughing at it?

00:53:41.660 He could.

00:53:43.060 Anybody could.

00:53:44.100 It would be the

00:53:44.580 easiest thing to

00:53:45.340 do to not act

00:53:46.740 like a dictator.

00:53:47.500 I don't think

00:53:47.900 he can do it.

00:53:49.580 So some are

00:53:50.160 saying he can.

00:53:51.160 But let's take

00:53:51.860 that as a bet.

00:53:53.640 You want to

00:53:54.000 place a bet?

00:53:56.080 I'm going to

00:53:56.400 place a bet that

00:53:57.380 whether he wins

00:53:58.040 or loses the

00:53:58.760 election, so

00:53:59.400 that's not

00:53:59.860 the bet.

00:54:00.680 So I'm not

00:54:01.120 betting on the

00:54:01.660 election outcome.

00:54:03.100 The bet with

00:54:03.780 no money.

00:54:05.280 My bet is that

00:54:06.280 he will never

00:54:06.880 do anything

00:54:07.520 which you

00:54:08.840 will interpret

00:54:09.480 as getting

00:54:10.960 rid of the

00:54:11.440 dictator label.

00:54:13.840 I believe he

00:54:14.760 will do

00:54:15.020 nothing that

00:54:15.880 helps.

00:54:16.900 He'll just

00:54:17.380 say, oh,

00:54:18.940 you're the

00:54:19.340 dictator.

00:54:21.200 He'll just

00:54:21.940 accuse the

00:54:22.400 other side,

00:54:23.360 which might

00:54:23.800 work.

00:54:24.660 Might work.

00:54:26.080 Yeah.

00:54:26.440 So no money,

00:54:27.440 but I'm going

00:54:28.000 to bet that

00:54:28.560 he's the only

00:54:29.220 person who

00:54:29.740 can't get

00:54:30.080 out of

00:54:30.300 this trap.

00:54:31.820 It's a

00:54:32.140 good trap.

00:54:34.700 All right.

00:54:39.180 So Bill

00:54:40.140 Ackman, as

00:54:41.520 you know,

00:54:41.900 he's been

00:54:42.300 going after

00:54:42.780 DEI at

00:54:43.700 colleges.

00:54:45.180 He's decided

00:54:46.040 to back a

00:54:46.620 candidate,

00:54:47.220 Dean Phillips,

00:54:48.380 who's running

00:54:49.080 against Biden,

00:54:51.040 but not as

00:54:51.560 successfully because

00:54:52.400 he's not really

00:54:52.940 a primary.

00:54:53.360 So Bill Ackman

00:54:55.780 spends all

00:54:56.380 this time

00:54:56.840 publicly being

00:54:57.680 the face

00:54:58.980 of going

00:54:59.800 after DEI

00:55:00.820 for being

00:55:01.860 basically a

00:55:03.700 poison.

00:55:05.600 And then he

00:55:06.140 backs Dean

00:55:06.760 Phillips, who

00:55:07.320 apparently on

00:55:07.860 his website

00:55:08.500 backs DEI.

00:55:10.960 Now, that's

00:55:12.880 awkward.

00:55:14.520 So he's

00:55:15.280 backing a

00:55:16.040 pro-DEI

00:55:17.640 guy while

00:55:18.620 being the

00:55:19.000 most famous

00:55:19.560 DEI guy.

00:55:20.340 Now, when

00:55:21.800 people pointed

00:55:22.420 out, did

00:55:23.300 Bill Ackman

00:55:23.840 say, oh,

00:55:24.700 shoot, I

00:55:25.340 didn't know

00:55:25.680 that I

00:55:26.160 withdraw my

00:55:27.080 endorsement?

00:55:30.020 He didn't.

00:55:31.840 And one of

00:55:32.520 the things we

00:55:32.880 like about

00:55:33.400 him is he's

00:55:33.940 not a

00:55:34.260 quitter.

00:55:35.480 He's a

00:55:35.920 fighter.

00:55:36.800 He's a

00:55:37.140 gladiator.

00:55:38.980 So I

00:55:40.460 have the

00:55:40.700 same feeling

00:55:41.180 about him

00:55:41.620 that I do

00:55:42.060 about Trump.

00:55:43.500 You can't

00:55:44.660 be mad that

00:55:45.380 he fights.

00:55:47.240 That's like

00:55:47.920 what he's

00:55:48.220 good for.

00:55:48.740 You can't

00:55:50.780 expect him

00:55:51.280 not to be

00:55:51.800 a fighter

00:55:52.180 one day,

00:55:52.840 just to

00:55:53.240 wake up

00:55:53.660 and he's

00:55:54.660 a different

00:55:55.000 personality.

00:55:55.840 He's no

00:55:56.200 longer a

00:55:56.900 fighter.

00:55:57.400 No, he's

00:55:57.740 a fighter.

00:55:58.680 He's going

00:55:59.260 to take it

00:55:59.640 all the

00:55:59.880 way.

00:56:01.100 He's replacing

00:56:02.060 the Harvard

00:56:02.580 board,

00:56:03.820 et cetera.

00:56:05.520 So once he

00:56:06.360 finds out

00:56:06.860 that Dean

00:56:07.380 Phillips is

00:56:10.840 a DEI

00:56:11.600 guy, his

00:56:13.160 response is

00:56:13.920 that they're

00:56:14.640 going to

00:56:14.940 re-educate

00:56:15.680 him because

00:56:16.600 Bill says

00:56:17.320 he also

00:56:18.000 thought DEI

00:56:18.660 was good

00:56:19.080 at one

00:56:19.380 point because

00:56:20.320 diversity is

00:56:20.960 good.

00:56:21.560 He didn't

00:56:21.820 realize that

00:56:22.340 the process

00:56:23.380 is corrupt

00:56:24.440 and that

00:56:25.440 when they

00:56:25.760 educate him

00:56:26.500 that they

00:56:27.040 can get

00:56:27.360 him to

00:56:27.640 change his

00:56:28.220 mind.

00:56:33.320 Really?

00:56:34.820 Really?

00:56:36.500 I mean,

00:56:37.820 really?

00:56:40.000 He's not

00:56:40.800 going to

00:56:41.040 change his

00:56:41.540 mind?

00:56:43.440 Does Bill

00:56:43.960 Ackman really

00:56:44.600 think that a

00:56:46.000 Democrat is

00:56:46.900 going to turn

00:56:47.420 on DEI?

00:56:49.280 Does he

00:56:49.880 not know

00:56:50.340 that his

00:56:50.680 only chance

00:56:51.340 is Republican?

00:56:53.480 I mean,

00:56:53.900 he apparently

00:56:54.740 is an

00:56:55.120 independent,

00:56:55.800 doesn't want

00:56:56.220 to be a

00:56:56.720 Republican.

00:56:58.000 And I get

00:56:58.480 why he

00:56:58.800 doesn't want

00:56:59.120 to be

00:56:59.300 Republican,

00:56:59.940 but there's

00:57:01.880 only one

00:57:02.420 path.

00:57:03.560 The only

00:57:04.320 path away

00:57:04.940 from DEI

00:57:05.680 is Republican.

00:57:07.420 There's no

00:57:08.080 hope of the

00:57:08.740 Democrats

00:57:09.360 running an

00:57:10.720 anti-DEI

00:57:11.560 candidate.

00:57:12.460 That's not

00:57:13.040 going to

00:57:13.200 happen.

00:57:13.440 I hate

00:57:19.960 that he

00:57:20.320 got himself

00:57:20.880 in a

00:57:21.160 trap here,

00:57:22.520 but the

00:57:23.120 trap, I

00:57:25.800 think, is

00:57:26.260 believing the

00:57:26.840 Democrats

00:57:27.320 were ever

00:57:28.020 legitimate and

00:57:29.060 serious.

00:57:30.300 I think

00:57:30.820 that's the

00:57:31.240 trap.

00:57:32.880 The things

00:57:33.640 that Trump

00:57:34.080 says, I'm

00:57:36.240 absolutely

00:57:36.780 convinced he

00:57:37.720 thinks are

00:57:38.200 the right

00:57:38.560 things to

00:57:39.140 do.

00:57:39.340 It would be

00:57:40.580 hard to pick

00:57:41.080 anything that

00:57:41.740 Trump says

00:57:42.480 and say,

00:57:43.340 you know, I

00:57:43.720 don't think

00:57:44.100 you really

00:57:44.380 believe that.

00:57:45.320 I think

00:57:45.560 you're saying

00:57:45.940 that just

00:57:46.400 for effect.

00:57:47.420 I can't

00:57:47.820 think of a

00:57:48.160 thing.

00:57:48.840 I can't

00:57:49.480 think of a

00:57:49.900 thing that

00:57:50.260 Trump says

00:57:50.820 just for

00:57:51.260 effect.

00:57:52.260 They do

00:57:52.740 appear to

00:57:53.200 be legitimately

00:57:53.940 his opinions.

00:57:55.760 But do

00:57:57.020 you think

00:57:57.340 all of the

00:57:57.980 Democrats

00:57:58.620 have the

00:57:59.040 DEI

00:57:59.540 opinion?

00:58:01.760 I don't

00:58:02.280 know what

00:58:03.220 Fetterman said

00:58:03.920 about it

00:58:04.260 yet, but

00:58:04.760 I'm curious.

00:58:08.260 All right.

00:58:08.900 So that's

00:58:09.480 a little

00:58:10.840 issue there.

00:58:12.480 Speaking of

00:58:13.880 DEI, let's

00:58:15.180 see, Rice

00:58:16.140 University.

00:58:18.720 You're going

00:58:19.400 to think this

00:58:19.840 is a joke.

00:58:21.800 This is not

00:58:22.740 a joke.

00:58:25.360 Rice

00:58:25.780 University

00:58:26.400 is, they've

00:58:29.400 introduced a

00:58:30.040 new course.

00:58:31.120 It's called

00:58:32.140 Afrochemistry.

00:58:36.440 Afrochemistry.

00:58:37.000 So it's

00:58:38.120 chemistry for

00:58:38.820 African-American

00:58:39.560 students, and

00:58:41.180 it's chemistry

00:58:41.840 with an

00:58:42.280 African-American

00:58:42.980 sensibility.

00:58:48.560 I know, it

00:58:49.500 sounds like I'm

00:58:50.060 making it up.

00:58:53.280 So, since I'm

00:58:55.620 already canceled,

00:58:57.980 let me say

00:58:59.020 what the big

00:58:59.480 problem is.

00:59:00.100 you know what

00:59:02.480 the country

00:59:02.920 really needs

00:59:03.700 more than

00:59:05.240 just about

00:59:05.640 anything?

00:59:06.800 It needs

00:59:07.340 white people

00:59:08.180 who can say

00:59:08.840 no to

00:59:09.320 black women

00:59:10.600 who have

00:59:12.920 power.

00:59:14.500 I feel like

00:59:15.440 white men

00:59:16.160 will just

00:59:17.040 never say

00:59:17.600 no to a

00:59:18.180 black woman

00:59:18.760 because it's

00:59:19.240 just suicide

00:59:19.960 in a

00:59:21.160 professional

00:59:21.620 sense.

00:59:22.340 Because you

00:59:22.720 don't want

00:59:23.060 them against

00:59:23.480 you.

00:59:24.160 Because you're

00:59:24.600 going to get

00:59:24.900 you'll be

00:59:25.900 accused of

00:59:26.400 being racist.

00:59:27.720 So I feel

00:59:28.140 like, and

00:59:29.760 I'm not saying

00:59:30.400 that black

00:59:31.060 women have

00:59:31.500 bad opinions.

00:59:32.320 I'm saying

00:59:32.760 that nobody

00:59:33.260 can be good

00:59:34.180 if they don't

00:59:35.120 get somebody

00:59:35.920 pushing back.

00:59:37.780 All of our

00:59:38.500 systems require

00:59:39.460 pushback.

00:59:42.440 And I think

00:59:43.220 white men

00:59:43.840 just say,

00:59:44.380 I'm not even

00:59:44.840 going to go

00:59:45.260 there.

00:59:47.500 I'll just

00:59:48.140 go hide

00:59:48.580 somewhere until

00:59:49.180 this blows

00:59:49.700 over.

00:59:50.760 Because they're

00:59:51.120 just not going

00:59:51.580 to start a

00:59:52.020 fight with

00:59:53.260 black women.

00:59:54.900 Black men

00:59:55.520 maybe.

00:59:57.060 I think

00:59:57.880 white men

00:59:58.480 would have

00:59:58.920 an honest

01:00:00.360 conversation

01:00:00.980 with a

01:00:01.360 black man.

01:00:02.440 That's been

01:00:02.860 my experience.

01:00:04.260 When I got

01:00:05.080 canceled,

01:00:06.480 black men

01:00:07.300 all wanted

01:00:08.380 to talk to

01:00:08.900 me.

01:00:10.080 Find out

01:00:10.700 what I was

01:00:11.100 thinking.

01:00:12.080 Find out

01:00:12.520 if it's a

01:00:12.920 problem.

01:00:14.140 See if they

01:00:14.900 could change

01:00:15.320 my mind.

01:00:16.000 Find out

01:00:16.340 if they

01:00:16.580 should be

01:00:16.860 offended.

01:00:18.020 They were

01:00:18.420 actually just,

01:00:19.120 hey, let's

01:00:19.460 engage on

01:00:20.080 this.

01:00:22.460 So black

01:00:23.240 men are all

01:00:23.820 in.

01:00:24.280 They're

01:00:24.600 completely

01:00:24.980 down for

01:00:25.740 let's

01:00:26.140 talk about

01:00:26.600 this.

01:00:27.860 Let's

01:00:28.120 figure it

01:00:28.520 out.

01:00:29.100 But I

01:00:29.360 feel like

01:00:29.800 white men

01:00:32.280 in particular

01:00:33.000 are just

01:00:33.620 never going

01:00:34.180 to get

01:00:34.520 into an

01:00:34.720 argument

01:00:35.000 with a

01:00:35.340 black

01:00:35.580 woman

01:00:35.860 in a

01:00:37.360 corporate

01:00:37.760 or

01:00:38.520 government

01:00:39.320 situation.

01:00:40.320 It's just

01:00:40.620 suicide.

01:00:41.780 And that's

01:00:42.060 a bad

01:00:42.700 system.

01:00:44.500 It's a bad

01:00:44.920 system.

01:00:46.500 So again,

01:00:47.280 if you're

01:00:47.680 hearing this

01:00:48.180 like I'm

01:00:48.600 saying there's

01:00:49.000 something wrong

01:00:49.460 with any of

01:00:49.860 the people

01:00:50.280 involved,

01:00:50.880 I'm not.

01:00:51.840 It's a

01:00:52.220 system problem,

01:00:53.060 not a

01:00:53.300 person problem.

01:00:54.600 If

01:00:56.000 anybody in

01:00:56.980 the system

01:00:57.380 had too

01:00:57.760 much power,

01:00:59.020 be they the

01:00:59.660 white men,

01:01:00.600 right?

01:01:00.880 You don't want

01:01:01.300 the white men

01:01:01.800 to have all

01:01:02.160 the power

01:01:02.580 either because

01:01:03.820 they needed as

01:01:04.400 much pushback

01:01:05.100 as everybody

01:01:05.540 else.

01:01:06.560 So nobody

01:01:06.940 can have no

01:01:08.100 pushback power.

01:01:08.980 It's bad.

01:01:10.180 Well, I guess

01:01:10.640 the Navy is

01:01:11.240 surging in the

01:01:11.880 Middle East.

01:01:12.440 Oh, big

01:01:12.900 surprise.

01:01:13.720 We're sending

01:01:14.100 another carrier

01:01:14.840 group to the

01:01:15.560 Middle East.

01:01:16.480 Well, that's

01:01:16.980 the most surprising

01:01:17.780 thing in the

01:01:18.380 world, which

01:01:19.040 everybody knew

01:01:19.740 was going to

01:01:20.120 happen.

01:01:20.380 Now, I

01:01:21.820 don't know

01:01:22.100 if it's

01:01:22.480 signaling that

01:01:23.420 we're taking

01:01:25.720 another step

01:01:26.680 of escalation,

01:01:27.680 but Sweden

01:01:28.900 is, quote,

01:01:29.920 bracing for

01:01:30.760 war with

01:01:32.200 Russia.

01:01:34.340 The Swedish

01:01:35.300 minister told

01:01:36.220 the citizens

01:01:37.040 to get moving

01:01:38.740 and prepare for

01:01:39.720 the end of

01:01:40.520 210 years

01:01:41.540 of peace.

01:01:45.600 Sweden

01:01:46.240 thinks everything's

01:01:48.160 going to go to

01:01:48.640 hell and Russia's

01:01:49.720 going to attack.

01:01:50.480 I don't think

01:01:50.960 that's going to

01:01:51.380 happen.

01:01:53.480 I think that

01:01:54.560 it's hard to

01:01:55.220 sort out what's

01:01:56.000 true and what's

01:01:56.640 false about

01:01:57.240 Russia.

01:01:58.760 I don't want

01:01:59.540 to be the

01:02:00.080 gullible person

01:02:01.100 who thinks

01:02:02.360 Putin tells

01:02:02.980 the truth.

01:02:04.480 I don't want

01:02:04.960 to be that

01:02:05.300 person, because

01:02:06.420 obviously that's

01:02:07.160 not true.

01:02:09.020 But I don't

01:02:09.760 want to be the

01:02:10.280 person who just

01:02:12.120 agrees with

01:02:12.880 everything that's

01:02:13.580 ever said bad

01:02:14.300 about Russia.

01:02:15.480 That feels like

01:02:16.320 a bad look,

01:02:17.120 too.

01:02:18.640 So, so

01:02:19.600 far, see

01:02:21.300 if I'm

01:02:21.620 wrong, I've

01:02:22.380 heard this

01:02:22.800 commentary, but

01:02:23.600 I need to

01:02:24.600 fact check on

01:02:25.160 it.

01:02:25.720 Is it true

01:02:26.320 that so far

01:02:27.060 Putin has

01:02:27.740 only shown

01:02:28.280 interest in

01:02:29.980 invading

01:02:30.420 countries that

01:02:31.320 are majority,

01:02:32.300 or portions

01:02:33.440 of countries

01:02:34.040 that are

01:02:34.860 majority

01:02:35.540 Russian-speaking,

01:02:37.380 and if you

01:02:38.220 held a vote,

01:02:39.180 they would say

01:02:39.620 we'd rather be

01:02:40.360 Russian?

01:02:41.660 True or

01:02:42.040 false?

01:02:43.280 That he's

01:02:44.020 only taking

01:02:44.660 over parts

01:02:46.020 that wanted to

01:02:46.760 be Russian

01:02:47.200 in the first

01:02:47.720 place by

01:02:48.280 majority.

01:02:50.120 Now, does

01:02:50.820 that indicate

01:02:51.440 that he would

01:02:52.040 take over a

01:02:52.680 country that

01:02:53.260 is not of

01:02:54.580 that character?

01:02:55.920 Because I

01:02:56.520 don't think it

01:02:56.940 does.

01:02:59.040 I don't think

01:02:59.900 it follows that

01:03:02.060 he's just

01:03:02.540 playing a clever

01:03:03.280 Hitler game

01:03:04.080 where the

01:03:05.100 first thing you

01:03:05.720 take over is

01:03:06.460 Austria, because

01:03:07.180 you say,

01:03:07.560 well, Austria,

01:03:10.340 German-speaking,

01:03:11.300 practically

01:03:12.860 Germany,

01:03:14.060 ah, you

01:03:15.340 know, and

01:03:15.980 then you

01:03:16.520 find out,

01:03:17.240 wait a minute,

01:03:18.560 he's taking

01:03:19.100 over Poland

01:03:19.820 now.

01:03:21.440 He's not

01:03:22.140 stopping with

01:03:22.860 the German-speaking

01:03:23.720 people.

01:03:24.980 I don't think

01:03:26.260 Putin's doing

01:03:27.140 that, but I

01:03:28.360 wouldn't call it

01:03:28.980 crazy if he

01:03:29.960 said, I think

01:03:30.980 maybe he is.

01:03:32.700 To me, it

01:03:33.220 looks like he's

01:03:33.860 trying to build

01:03:34.440 back a greater

01:03:35.460 Russia and

01:03:37.780 doing things

01:03:38.400 that would be

01:03:38.900 internally popular

01:03:39.980 to do it.

01:03:41.300 I don't see

01:03:41.900 a ton of

01:03:42.640 interest in

01:03:43.260 conquering

01:03:43.780 China or

01:03:45.760 Italy.

01:03:47.860 I mean,

01:03:48.160 am I wrong?

01:03:51.640 So,

01:03:53.080 I feel like

01:03:55.120 we're trying to

01:03:55.800 make a war

01:03:56.420 with Russia

01:03:57.140 that's kind

01:03:58.280 of optional.

01:04:00.820 All right,

01:04:01.540 ladies and

01:04:02.020 gentlemen,

01:04:02.900 that completes

01:04:03.600 my prepared

01:04:04.360 comments.

01:04:06.500 Today's going

01:04:07.160 to be a fun

01:04:07.720 day of news

01:04:08.660 watching.

01:04:10.000 Will the,

01:04:10.680 when do we

01:04:11.240 get a final

01:04:12.320 vote on the

01:04:12.960 caucuses or

01:04:13.800 a final

01:04:14.140 outcome?

01:04:15.360 Will the

01:04:15.740 caucuses have

01:04:16.600 an outcome

01:04:17.220 by 7pm

01:04:18.900 local time

01:04:21.580 Iowa?

01:04:24.240 Not tonight?

01:04:25.840 Do you think

01:04:26.240 it won't be

01:04:26.720 tonight?

01:04:28.740 10pm

01:04:29.460 Iowa time?

01:04:31.100 That's when

01:04:31.540 they stop

01:04:32.000 voting, but

01:04:32.600 will they have

01:04:33.080 any kind

01:04:34.480 of an answer?

01:04:40.560 Yemen missile

01:04:41.400 attacked a

01:04:41.920 U.S.

01:04:42.380 cargo ship.

01:04:44.580 Well, let me

01:04:45.280 ask you this

01:04:45.780 question again.

01:04:47.020 Are the

01:04:47.340 Iranians,

01:04:49.100 are the

01:04:49.920 Iranian tankers

01:04:50.860 just going back

01:04:51.600 and forth in

01:04:52.200 the Red Sea

01:04:52.780 without,

01:04:53.460 without any

01:04:54.440 problem?

01:04:57.640 Yeah, don't

01:04:58.240 you think we're

01:04:58.720 going to take

01:04:59.100 out an Iranian

01:04:59.860 ship?

01:05:00.600 That's what

01:05:02.660 I'd do.

01:05:03.440 I'd probably

01:05:04.000 take out an

01:05:04.560 Iranian ship

01:05:05.200 and say,

01:05:05.560 you know,

01:05:05.880 I don't know

01:05:06.200 who did that.

01:05:06.760 It was probably

01:05:07.060 those Houthis.

01:05:08.380 I hear the

01:05:08.720 Houthis are

01:05:09.180 just terrible.

01:05:10.980 Sorry,

01:05:11.400 Iran, I think

01:05:12.080 they took out

01:05:12.540 your ship.

01:05:14.180 I think that's

01:05:15.180 where we're

01:05:15.520 ending up.

01:05:16.680 I feel like

01:05:17.220 we're going to

01:05:17.540 take out a

01:05:18.060 ship, although

01:05:19.200 you don't

01:05:19.840 want to.

01:05:21.760 At some

01:05:23.620 point, we're

01:05:24.160 going to have

01:05:24.420 to go pretty

01:05:25.800 hard on Iran.

01:05:26.740 I don't see

01:05:27.120 there's any

01:05:27.960 possibility of

01:05:28.720 not.

01:05:28.960 I'm the

01:05:32.920 John Bolton

01:05:33.620 of California.

01:05:35.440 Well, what

01:05:35.880 would you do?

01:05:37.800 Let me ask

01:05:38.580 you, who

01:05:39.580 has a good

01:05:40.060 idea for

01:05:40.820 what to do

01:05:42.380 about Iran?

01:05:43.760 Do we

01:05:44.060 just give

01:05:44.820 them what

01:05:45.140 they want?

01:05:46.760 What would

01:05:47.340 be the

01:05:47.620 alternative?

01:05:49.740 I'm open

01:05:50.380 to alternatives.

01:05:51.380 I don't

01:05:51.700 like war.

01:05:54.920 Give them

01:05:55.500 Israel.

01:05:56.140 There's not

01:05:56.540 really any

01:05:56.980 alternative.

01:05:58.960 sink our

01:05:59.520 own navy.

01:06:01.200 Color

01:06:01.480 revolution.

01:06:04.160 Yeah, I

01:06:04.520 don't know.

01:06:05.320 All right, ladies

01:06:05.760 and gentlemen,

01:06:06.340 that's all I

01:06:06.680 got for now.

01:06:07.340 I'm going to

01:06:07.660 say bye to

01:06:08.680 YouTube and

01:06:10.300 Rumble

01:06:11.720 and

01:06:13.560 on X.

01:06:15.920 somebody asked

01:06:19.560 me about

01:06:19.960 Rumble

01:06:20.380 the other

01:06:22.260 day.

01:06:23.460 They're under

01:06:24.020 attack.

01:06:24.720 I assume

01:06:25.180 it's because

01:06:26.260 they're a

01:06:26.660 free speech

01:06:27.380 place.

01:06:29.860 So we hope

01:06:31.160 they survive.

01:06:32.440 I'm a small

01:06:33.360 stock owner

01:06:34.180 in Rumble,

01:06:35.120 so I hope

01:06:35.560 they survive,

01:06:36.480 but also

01:06:36.920 because I

01:06:37.920 use them.

01:06:38.820 So yes,

01:06:39.700 I hope

01:06:39.980 everything

01:06:40.600 survives.

01:06:41.440 I'll talk

01:06:41.880 to you

01:06:42.200 tomorrow.

01:06:43.220 good

01:06:44.900 day.

01:06:46.340 Good

01:06:46.740 .

01:06:48.700 Good

01:06:51.420 into

01:07:00.720 day.

01:07:01.380 I'm

01:07:01.720 very

01:07:01.740 good

01:07:02.680 to you.

01:07:03.580 Good
