Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2358 CWSA 01⧸19⧸24

00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:02.180 La-da-da-da-da-da. 0.96

00:00:05.620 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to

00:00:08.000 the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.640 And you're in the place that you want to be.

00:00:15.420 I mean, honestly, I'm a little jealous of all of you.

00:00:19.840 Because you get to watch this. You know, it's fun to do it.

00:00:23.980 That's why I'm here. But, wow, do I envy you right now.

00:00:28.320 Today's show is going to be lit. I've got a theme.

00:00:31.880 No, it won't be the usual random miscellaneous.

00:00:35.060 I've got a theme. You're going to love it.

00:00:37.820 But before we get to that, would you like to take this experience up to levels

00:00:41.740 that nobody can even understand with their tiny human brains?

00:00:45.920 If you want to do that, all you need is

00:00:47.920 a cuppa, a mug, or a glass, a tanker, chalice, or stein,

00:00:54.040 a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:56.720 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:00.620 And join me now

00:01:01.880 for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:05.500 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:07.620 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:11.360 Go.

00:01:15.820 Yes.

00:01:16.420 All right, well, that is just the beginning of your happiness.

00:01:23.240 I may have mentioned before my new coffee maker.

00:01:27.820 Now, it turns out that my coffee maker is the theme,

00:01:32.820 in a conceptual way, for the rest of the show.

00:01:35.480 So I've got this high-end Miele coffee maker,

00:01:40.280 which is quite an amazing machine.

00:01:42.540 Here's the concept.

00:01:44.220 The concept is you buy this, you know, high-end machine.

00:01:47.700 You have it plumbed into your kitchen,

00:01:50.320 so you never have to add water.

00:01:52.420 It's got these big containers.

00:01:53.820 You put your coffee beans in, and it grinds it

00:01:55.900 and makes this incredible coffee with creme on it,

00:01:59.680 and you can have, you know,

00:02:01.000 various different kinds of special coffees,

00:02:03.040 and it's all with one button.

00:02:05.300 You just walk in, and you go, boom, brilliant coffee.

00:02:09.520 Now, is that a good idea?

00:02:11.140 It is, right?

00:02:12.740 Can you imagine what a good idea that is?

00:02:14.740 Now, it's especially good for somebody like me

00:02:17.600 because I'm a creative person.

00:02:20.140 So exactly the time of day

00:02:22.000 that I'm in my creative mode,

00:02:25.820 you don't want to have to mess with making coffee.

00:02:28.760 You just want to push a button

00:02:30.520 and then stay in your head.

00:02:32.860 And then when it's done, you pick it up

00:02:34.940 and you stay in your head,

00:02:36.380 and you're always in flow.

00:02:38.160 You've heard that term?

00:02:39.560 Flow state.

00:02:41.300 You hear it for programmers, computer programmer.

00:02:44.360 It takes them a long time maybe

00:02:45.760 to get into the right mindset for programming,

00:02:49.300 but once you're in it,

00:02:50.960 you do not want to get out of it

00:02:52.740 because as soon as you get out,

00:02:54.560 you have that whole wind-up again

00:02:56.020 to get back into it if you even can.

00:02:58.760 Now, that's even twice as important

00:03:01.200 for a person who writes or makes comics

00:03:05.120 because I've got to be in exactly

00:03:08.020 the right frame of mind for hours.

00:03:11.500 Like hours every day,

00:03:12.780 I have to be in a certain mindset

00:03:14.120 or it just doesn't work.

00:03:16.540 Now, if you all agree that the concept is amazing,

00:03:20.400 you can stay in your flow state,

00:03:22.600 push one button,

00:03:23.420 have not just a good cup of coffee

00:03:25.700 but an exceptional cup of coffee.

00:03:28.720 At the concept level,

00:03:30.040 who wouldn't want that? 0.71

00:03:31.620 It's all good, right?

00:03:33.480 Now, let me tell you what actually happens

00:03:35.280 in the real world.

00:03:37.080 In the real world,

00:03:38.480 it's such a, you know,

00:03:40.160 a marvelous invention

00:03:41.440 that it's designed to tell you

00:03:43.760 when there's any kind of flaw,

00:03:45.500 you know, like a fault

00:03:46.640 or something's not lined up just right.

00:03:49.320 It also tells you

00:03:50.220 when a part of it needs to be cleaned,

00:03:53.060 you know, different parts at different times.

00:03:54.740 It's got some maintenance built in

00:03:57.740 that runs occasionally, et cetera.

00:03:59.760 And the net effect of it

00:04:01.060 is that nearly 100% of the time

00:04:03.340 you go to have your coffee,

00:04:05.440 it turns you into a maintenance worker.

00:04:09.740 Sometimes the beans need to be refilled.

00:04:12.020 Sometimes the brew unit needs to be washed.

00:04:16.640 Sometimes something's misaligned.

00:04:18.640 Sometimes the head is out of place.

00:04:20.680 Sometimes the coffee,

00:04:23.660 the excess coffee grounds is full

00:04:25.620 and sometimes the water spillover thing is full.

00:04:30.280 Sometimes it needs to be descaled.

00:04:32.440 Sometimes it needs to be cleaned.

00:04:34.820 And that's just a starter set.

00:04:38.120 So what does this sound like to you?

00:04:41.500 The concept is amazing.

00:04:45.100 In concept, one button,

00:04:46.960 stay in flow state,

00:04:48.560 boom, delicious coffee.

00:04:50.100 Yeah, nailed it.

00:04:53.540 In reality,

00:04:55.640 I curse at my machine,

00:04:58.080 go completely on a flow state,

00:05:00.320 and I'm changing the beans like this morning.

00:05:02.840 I think there were two faults this morning.

00:05:05.100 Two cups of coffee,

00:05:06.880 two maintenance things I had to do.

00:05:09.800 It's one for one.

00:05:11.320 You know, over time, it's one for one.

00:05:13.140 Every now and then you'll get a coffee cup,

00:05:15.400 a coffee without problems.

00:05:17.100 Now, could that be fixed?

00:05:20.440 Probably.

00:05:21.440 Because the only thing it would take

00:05:22.720 is for it to warn me in advance

00:05:24.480 when my coffee beans were starting to get low.

00:05:27.980 So I could choose

00:05:29.280 to do the maintenance when I'm not in flow state.

00:05:32.680 So the problem is,

00:05:34.740 if you're ever in flow state,

00:05:36.220 you just can't use this device.

00:05:38.700 You just can't.

00:05:40.580 You've got to do something else

00:05:42.220 because it'll take you right out.

00:05:44.200 Now, does this sound like

00:05:45.860 a lot of government policy?

00:05:48.500 That the concept level,

00:05:50.620 who could argue with that?

00:05:52.460 Push one button,

00:05:53.540 get a delicious cup of coffee,

00:05:55.440 stay in flow state.

00:05:56.480 Everybody should be in favor of that.

00:05:59.400 But then, in the real world,

00:06:02.380 it doesn't work anything like that.

00:06:04.820 That, ladies and gentlemen,

00:06:06.320 is my theme for today.

00:06:10.100 But let's start with some backward science.

00:06:12.980 ABC News,

00:06:14.240 your source for reliable science,

00:06:19.120 says that there's a research

00:06:21.120 that shows that,

00:06:22.320 yes, it's true that men

00:06:23.420 do tend to have better

00:06:24.500 navigational skills than women, 0.64

00:06:26.480 but the new study revealed

00:06:27.880 the reason for it

00:06:28.920 is not anything genetic.

00:06:31.440 Like, if you thought

00:06:32.220 there was some, like,

00:06:33.000 natural gender-sex difference,

00:06:35.560 well, first of all,

00:06:36.340 you're a pig. 0.67

00:06:37.820 And second of all,

00:06:38.860 ABC News is here to tell you

00:06:40.500 it's not based on

00:06:41.880 any kind of natural difference.

00:06:44.520 It's based on the fact

00:06:45.520 that boys tend to play outside

00:06:47.780 more often.

00:06:49.140 They're more encouraged

00:06:50.060 to play outdoors.

00:06:52.180 So they learn

00:06:53.840 their navigational skills

00:06:55.140 by playing outdoors.

00:06:57.200 Totally believable, right?

00:06:59.520 Everybody?

00:07:01.200 Everybody that made sense to you?

00:07:03.040 I mean, commonsensically,

00:07:04.260 that just makes sense, right?

00:07:06.160 Because,

00:07:06.780 let me tell you

00:07:08.040 where I learned to navigate,

00:07:09.420 because I'm one of those men

00:07:10.480 with navigational skills.

00:07:12.620 It was in my backyard.

00:07:15.780 I remember my sister

00:07:16.940 would stay in,

00:07:17.720 and, you know,

00:07:17.960 she'd play with dolls.

00:07:18.920 But I'd go into the yard,

00:07:21.700 still within full view

00:07:23.120 of my house,

00:07:24.260 and I'd play around out there.

00:07:26.140 Well, I was developing

00:07:27.160 navigational skills,

00:07:28.460 because every time

00:07:29.660 I left the house,

00:07:31.160 within visual distance

00:07:32.860 of the house,

00:07:33.600 I could get back to it.

00:07:36.120 And I'm not bragging.

00:07:37.600 I mean,

00:07:38.500 the other boys

00:07:39.440 could do it, too.

00:07:40.540 But boy,

00:07:41.640 if you let a girl 0.99

00:07:43.280 out in the backyard,

00:07:44.920 and you say,

00:07:45.980 it's time for dinner,

00:07:46.640 the boys are like,

00:07:48.040 yay,

00:07:48.340 and they run back

00:07:48.940 in the house,

00:07:49.460 because they got the

00:08:16.640 next one.

00:08:46.640 Hello, locals. Did you miss me? We had a little catastrophic failure there. It made me log

00:08:59.080 out, log back in. But we're all good. All right, so here's the part you missed. ABC News

00:09:06.680 says that boys have better navigational skills, but it's because they play outdoors more.

00:09:11.900 And it's not even because they want to play outdoors. It's because people encourage boys

00:09:15.740 to play outdoors. So as I was saying, you know, my brother and my sister and I would be playing in

00:09:22.940 the backyard and mom would say, it's time for dinner. My brother and I having these good

00:09:27.840 negotiation, you know, these good navigation skills, we'd like, okay, there's the house.

00:09:32.740 Here's me. I can solve for this. And I'd walk like toward the house and I'd go inside. And that's

00:09:39.580 called good navigational skills. But my sister, God bless her soul, she'd be out in the house and 0.99

00:09:45.260 she'd be looking at it. And she'd be like, I can see it. But how do I get to it? And honestly,

00:09:53.280 she's still there. She died in the yard. So we'll miss her. All right. Sorry, sis. She's listening

00:09:59.740 to this right now. She's laughing. You're laughing, right? You're laughing, right? No, she did not get

00:10:08.400 lost in the yard because she has excellent navigational skills. And as a second part of

00:10:14.060 this story, I have terrible navigational skills. I don't have any navigational skills. I have none.

00:10:20.480 I've got spatial skills, but I don't pay attention when I go anywhere so I can never get back.

00:10:27.240 Here's what I think is happening. Here's what I really think the science is without any benefit

00:10:32.920 of any studies. I believe that after, let's say, 300,000 years of humanoid evolution, that boys

00:10:44.580 are designed to go hunt and control territory. The men are designed by evolution to hunt and to

00:10:55.220 control territory. Militarily, if we don't have a military, we'll do it with football. If we don't

00:11:02.240 have football, we will literally whip out our penis and spray down your lawn. So we, you know, 0.83

00:11:09.180 dominate it, own it a little bit. We're basically owned for terror. We're built for territory.

00:11:15.280 So when I go into a place, I'm thinking territory. You know, when I play football, I'm trying to gain

00:11:21.420 a yard, right? And if I'm playing a game, I'm trying to make my impact be as large as possible.

00:11:29.260 If I'm a batter in a baseball game, I don't want to bunt. I mean, sometimes I have to, but I want to

00:11:34.920 get a home run, thus increasing the physical range of my impact. So boys, I think, evolved to be all

00:11:45.160 about the physical space because if they hunt, they got to know where to go and they got to know how to

00:11:51.060 get back, right? So I would think that nature is selective for people who could get back home after

00:11:57.200 the hunt. Probably it's just that. Or it's because boys are encouraged to play more outside.

00:12:05.380 That's what counts as science.

00:12:08.840 Well, there's a funny video compilation. Rand Paul had some fun mocking Nikki Haley.

00:12:13.480 So he was retweeting a compilation of, he says, since Nikki Haley is refusing to debate Ron DeSantis

00:12:21.560 before New Hampshire, I present to you Nikki Haley debating herself. Now, the first thing I thought

00:12:28.160 was, oh, it's going to be one of those AI things where somebody has an AI Nikki Haley debating herself.

00:12:34.080 Nope. It was actually video clips of her saying, I will not do X. And then followed by, we should

00:12:41.240 really do X. But I will not do Y. Followed by, you know, it would be a really good idea. A lot of Y.

00:12:50.120 So it's actually hilarious that she doesn't seem to have any standards or philosophical mooring

00:12:57.240 or anything. Yeah, she's just sort of going with whatever's going to get her elected. 1.00

00:13:03.200 So that's hilarious. If you want to see that, it's in my X feed. I guess the court's judge said

00:13:09.320 that Trump can be on the ballot in Washington state, which is a big deal, because this, I guess it was

00:13:17.400 the 14th Amendment, was trying to be used to say he's a damn insurrectionist, and so he can't be on

00:13:24.240 the ballot. But the judge said no. Now, can somebody give me an update? So far, he's not been denied

00:13:32.080 the ballot of any state, right? In a confirmed final way. There may be some still challenges.

00:13:40.160 But so far, he's on every ballot, right?

00:13:46.080 Okay. Yeah, I think he's on every ballot. I think it's going to stay that way.

00:13:51.380 Yeah, there may be some temporary hiccups, but I feel like if it came to the Supreme Court,

00:13:56.900 how's that going to go any other way, right? The Supreme Court's not going to keep him off the

00:14:01.920 ballot. I don't see how it could. All right. Well, so we'll see. So I see you mentioning Maine,

00:14:08.180 but, you know, until it's election day, I think you can assume that that will get corrected.

00:14:16.620 Maybe not. All right. But anyway, that's good news. So Tucker Carlson had a new video. He has a

00:14:24.900 theory that basically goes like this, that what the Democrats are up to. According to Tucker,

00:14:31.440 the evidence would suggest that their strategy looks like this. They know Biden can't win,

00:14:38.880 so that's not part of their strategy. Their strategy would be more along the lines of

00:14:43.640 supporting Nikki Haley, because in some of these primaries, Democrats can just vote for the Republican

00:14:51.820 candidate. So I guess Reid Hoffman, famous, rich Democrat funder and founder of LinkedIn,

00:14:59.060 which got sold to Microsoft. He's one of the main funders of not only Nikki Haley,

00:15:05.600 but the lawsuit against Trump for that E. Gene Carroll thing. So the same person who's funding

00:15:14.560 Nikki Haley's campaign, a Democrat, is funding a Republican, that same Democrat is funding the

00:15:23.640 lawsuit against Trump and the E. Gene Carroll. Now, that's not the only things he's funding,

00:15:29.260 but it gets you a little sense of him. There are some who claim, and I don't know if this is true,

00:15:36.020 that he visited Epstein Island. Do you think, is that true? Or is that just another one of those

00:15:41.800 rumors? Because there are people on that list that really did not go to Epstein Island. So I'm going

00:15:46.480 to say I don't know that's true. I'm going to not state that to be true. I'm going to state that to

00:15:53.800 be something somebody claimed. Because if I don't have a picture of him on the island, I'm not going

00:15:59.920 to base it on somebody's list on the internet. So whether or not that's true, and I'm going to say

00:16:07.040 I'll assume innocence until proven guilty. Remember, that's always the standard. That's

00:16:12.980 an accusation, but he's not the government, right? Reid Hoffman is a private citizen. So you should

00:16:19.360 assume that he's innocent of anything illegal unless somebody really proves it in court. Anything

00:16:25.580 short of that, he's innocent. So I'm not going to buy that he's on the Epstein list or that he's ever

00:16:31.320 been to the island or anything like that. However, may I remind you that we don't have the Epstein list

00:16:37.040 or the videos, which means that somebody does. Whoever has the videos is who's running the country.

00:16:47.700 You know that, right? Whoever has the Epstein's stuff, it was all designed to blackmail the most

00:16:55.180 important people. Do you think whoever had that power, like the power of Thanos, you know,

00:17:00.820 at all the rings, do you think they said, you know, this is too dangerous? We better put this in a

00:17:06.100 drawer somewhere. No. No. Whoever has his blackmail material still controls whoever Epstein was trying

00:17:16.860 to control. And the thing is that you just have to hint that you have it and you've got all the

00:17:21.960 control you need. Hey, you know, I would never, I would never out you as being on Epstein Island and 0.56

00:17:29.820 having illegal sex. I would never do that. But I do have the videos. I do have the videos.

00:17:38.280 They're in my control. But I would never, I would never show them to anybody. By the way, you know,

00:17:44.280 it'd be a great idea is if you were to fund the Democratic Party to the tune of $20 million.

00:17:51.580 It's a separate conversation. No, no, I'm not tying it to the Epstein's. No, no, no. No,

00:17:55.960 I would never, I would never show that stuff in public. I have it all. And it would, it would

00:18:00.760 take a lot for me to want to like show it in public or leak it or something. But, you know,

00:18:05.100 I just want you to know I have it all. Right. You don't need to directly blackmail anybody

00:18:10.580 if they know you have the goods or if they suspect it. So there might be more than one

00:18:17.820 blackmailer. There might be a blackmailer who has the stuff and there might be another blackmailer

00:18:23.300 who is even smarter, who is pretending to have it. You know, who might potentially have actually

00:18:28.800 had it. So I think we're a blackmailocracy and any sense that we're a democracy is kind of

00:18:36.480 childish at this point. It feels naive to the point of childish. We're clearly a blackmail

00:18:45.360 driven place. Do you know why the border is not closed? There's no American reason. There

00:18:54.260 is no American reason for the border to be the way it is. There's none. That's clearly an

00:19:00.340 outcome of corruption. I don't know the details. It could be, you know, China trying to destroy 0.91

00:19:06.200 the fabric of America. Could be the cartels make so much money they bribe the Congress

00:19:11.540 to let them keep doing it. Or some combination. Some combination. But I'll tell you what it's

00:19:17.300 not. It's not a bunch of Americans deciding what's good for America. And I'm starting to

00:19:23.460 think that the idea that the Democrats have a clever plan of replacing, you know, the white 1.00

00:19:29.680 Christian voters with brown people from other countries that they can get to vote Democrat.

00:19:35.140 I have a contrarian theory. Because the Republican, standard Republican conservative theory

00:19:44.020 is that it's all a plot to increase the number of Democrat voters. I think they also want to do

00:19:52.080 that. And that's why, which state is it that's going to let them vote the illegal migrants can vote 0.99

00:20:01.080 without ID? Like that's actually, oh, California, right. Arizona. It was actually Arizona. You're

00:20:09.300 right. Arizona recently said that you can vote if you're illegal. You just vote. They just decided

00:20:17.540 to ignore the Constitution or something. So here's what I think. I don't think that's the main reason

00:20:24.600 behind the open borders. There's something else driving that. And there's something to destroy the

00:20:30.500 country, not to make Democrats stronger. But while it's happening, Democrats quite wisely, I assume,

00:20:39.140 say, well, if they're going to come here anyway, we might as well take advantage of it and let them vote

00:20:43.820 vote because I think they'll vote for us. So I think that the whole replacement theory is a head

00:20:50.300 fake, meaning that in practice, something like it is really happening. There will be more voters of

00:20:58.080 a different type than are already here if things go the way they are. But I don't think that's what's

00:21:03.460 starting it. I think that's just people taking advantage of a situation that was going to happen

00:21:09.680 anyway. So whatever is behind it, we don't exactly know. But you have to assume corruption in Congress

00:21:16.180 because at the very least, if somebody just disagrees politically, they would make an argument for what

00:21:22.560 they're doing. Nobody on the Democrat side is making an argument for it. They're literally saying

00:21:28.840 it's not happening. All right. Explain that. A normal topic would be two people with an argument

00:21:37.480 that they disagree. This isn't that. No, this is not two people with some kind of philosophical

00:21:45.980 disagreement. This is something that's coming from the outside. I don't know where. My guess is the

00:21:52.620 cartels have bought Congress. But it could be something else. Right. Yeah. So not replace, but combine.

00:22:02.520 Yeah. So I think the replacement part's the add-on. I don't think that's the underlying cause.

00:22:09.280 All right. Here's some fake news that you probably believed. Oh, by the way, the alternative to Tucker's

00:22:15.640 theory that Nikki Haley is like the secret Democrat in Republican clothing, that they're going to try to 1.00

00:22:25.260 sneak in there as a, as like a hidden Democrat. That's plausible. I'm not sure I completely buy into

00:22:33.640 that, but it's plausible. The alternative theory is that the Democrats know Biden is shot, but they

00:22:41.140 also knew that having a president of low capability was working for the deep state or the people who

00:22:47.300 wanted, I don't know, military things to happen, whatever. So they may say, you know, what would be

00:22:52.180 the best thing? Is another low capability president that we can control. So that theory would say,

00:23:00.600 let's, let's limp Biden over the finish line. We'll just get him there one way or the other. And then he

00:23:08.220 immediately retires for health reasons and Kamala takes over and she's easy to control. 1.00

00:23:14.640 Because she is an idiot. You know, I'm very reluctant to say somebody who's risen to the

00:23:23.520 highest levels of politics has any kind of mental deficiency because, you know, that seems deeply

00:23:29.340 unlikely. But the more you listen to her, the more you think, no, the base problem is you're not smart

00:23:35.760 or even a little bit smart about, you know, important things. She might have a good memory,

00:23:42.540 you know, so she can get through law school and stuff like that, but she seems not smart. That seems 0.96

00:23:48.320 to be the basic problem. All right. Imagine, imagine that it's today and you still believe that January

00:23:56.340 6th was an insurrection. At what point does that become embarrassing, if ever, to imagine that

00:24:03.620 trespassing was the way that a bunch of scraggly people who were there for the purpose of protecting

00:24:10.860 the Republic against what they thought was a fraudulent election, that the real plan was to conquer the

00:24:18.060 military of the United States and take power by trespassing or something. So I would ask you to just

00:24:25.200 ask your Democrat friends who still believe that hoax to connect the dots and simply describe

00:24:32.800 how those protesters were going to get control of the nuclear triad. Like, what were the steps

00:24:39.600 after the trespassing? Surrender? Was the military on the verge of surrendering to them? Just connect

00:24:48.300 the dots. I'm not asking for, I'm not even disagreeing with you. You just tell me what you're

00:24:54.920 thinking, and then I'll tell you if I agree or not, but I haven't heard what you're thinking. Just

00:24:59.480 tell me your actual opinion. Show me how you believed that trespassing and taking selfies and

00:25:06.000 abusing a lectern were going to lead in a cause and effect, you know, A leads to B way to physical

00:25:14.400 control of the country. Do you know how you could have defeated that insurrection? You could put a fence

00:25:22.220 around it and wait to wait for them to starve. They didn't have weapons. There's no insurrection

00:25:29.520 that would ever be easier to thwart than the people who didn't have food and they locked themselves in

00:25:34.320 a building. So to imagine that you still thought there was something like an insurrection

00:25:40.920 is embarrassing at this point. So I think you should treat it that way when it comes up as just mock it

00:25:48.500 as the most ridiculous belief. Michael Schellenberger has a whole thread and post on this today that

00:25:56.100 people still think it was an insurrection is basically stupid. All right, here's some fake news.

00:26:02.320 Do you believe that Joe Biden has inaccurately said in public a number of times, including

00:26:09.960 recently, that his oldest son, Beau, died because of Iraq or in Iraq because of the war? How many think

00:26:19.000 that Joe Biden is so dumb he thinks that Beau died in the Iraq war when the truth is that he died of a

00:26:26.420 brain tumor well after the war, well after he left the war? All right. So here's the truth of that.

00:26:35.820 That's fake news. So Biden said it again, but there was a community note. Apparently what Biden believes,

00:26:43.160 because he's spoken at greater length about it, he doesn't believe his son died in Iraq. He does not

00:26:49.520 believe that he died of military action and has never said that. He says he died because of Iraq.

00:26:56.400 Iraq. Specifically, he believes that Beau was too close to, I think, the burn, the burn pits or

00:27:03.600 something, something that would have poisoned him and that the exposure may have been the reason

00:27:11.400 for his brain tumor that killed him well after he was out of the military. It was some kind of chemical 0.82

00:27:17.940 cobalt. I don't know. I don't know what the details are. Now, do you think Joe Biden knows that's true?

00:27:26.400 Do you, or is it true? I mean, is it, have the medical professionals said, yeah, we're pretty sure

00:27:32.840 that's what caused it? It's hard to prove. But here's what is true, if that's true.

00:27:41.160 If it's true, then see if I have this right. Didn't Joe Biden support the Iraq war?

00:27:50.720 Didn't he? And wasn't the Iraq war optional? So Joe Biden supported an optional war,

00:27:58.600 which in his own telling killed his own son. Is that fair? That he supported a war that in his own

00:28:07.120 opinion killed his son. Now, what about the Ukraine war? Do you think that Hunter would be in the

00:28:16.360 trouble that he's in legally if there was not a President Biden forging a war in Ukraine with

00:28:24.480 Russia? I don't think, I don't think Hunter would be in trouble. So Hunter is likely to end up in jail

00:28:30.900 or dead, you know, if he does something because he doesn't want to go to jail, because of his father

00:28:38.620 entering a second optional war. So you've got a father who may have, in his own belief, supported

00:28:47.200 a war that killed his son, an optional war, not a war of national defense, an optional war,

00:28:51.960 and is supporting another optional war, in a sense. You know, optional is, you have to stretch that

00:28:59.740 definition a little bit. But did he kill both of his sons? Is he in the process of killing both of

00:29:08.740 his sons for unnecessary wars? Now, kill or jail or, you know, mentally disable or ruin his life in some

00:29:17.200 way. Now, I'm not saying that, you know, Hunter's innocent and should not have the consequences of

00:29:22.540 justice. But I'm right, right? Has anybody connected these dots before? That Joe Biden killed his, both

00:29:30.380 of his sons with two optional wars? I haven't seen anybody say it, but to me, that's the most mind-blowing

00:29:38.880 part of this whole story, that he's so lame that his own sons are dying because of his optional

00:29:47.140 wars. Do you know what Don Jr. is doing this weekend? Well, I don't know, but he's probably not

00:29:58.400 defending himself against money laundering in Ukraine. I don't know for sure. Do you know what

00:30:05.900 Barron Trump is doing this weekend? I don't know, but he's not dying of a brain tumor because he went to

00:30:14.740 an optional war in Iraq. That's not happening, right? There's a big difference between Trump and

00:30:21.700 Biden. There's a really big difference. And it's so big that it's almost, if it weren't full of tragedy,

00:30:29.740 it would be humorously big, the difference between their performances. One got us into two wars that

00:30:35.580 killed his own family, and that didn't even slow him down. He's still in favor of it.

00:30:40.320 And Trump is whatever is the opposite of that. All right.

00:30:49.120 MSNBC's Tiffany Cross, who I guess is no longer with MSNBC, one of her biggest complaints was that 1.00

00:30:56.400 she got a show on MSNBC, but that her bosses kept telling her she wasn't spending enough time

00:31:02.700 trashing Trump. And she kept saying versions of, you know, okay, I mean, that's an important story

00:31:08.540 too, but what about all these other stories? And I'm paraphrasing, of course, but her bosses said,

00:31:15.300 yeah, yeah, yeah, but you really got to bash Trump. Okay, but not all the time. I mean,

00:31:21.520 I could do other stories too. And they were pretty much, no, no, no, there really are no other stories.

00:31:30.060 We really need you to bash Trump. So this is another one of those. It was exactly what it

00:31:36.620 looked like. Because when you watched MSNBC, you said to yourself, this doesn't look like news.

00:31:43.820 This looks like a bunch of people bashing Trump. And that's all it is. There's like literally

00:31:49.160 nothing else. And that's exactly what it was. The executives were trying to make the staff do

00:31:55.860 nothing but. Remember, I tell you, you have to know the players. I already talked about that.

00:32:04.700 Reid Hoffman. So I don't know what's true with Reid Hoffman. But the concept I should have mentioned

00:32:10.260 before is that if you only hear the news, you don't know anything. Because the news doesn't tell

00:32:17.420 you how the players are connected with the other players. For example, if the only thing you knew was

00:32:23.800 that E. Jean Carroll was suing Trump, you say, oh, that sounds like a personal thing. And maybe

00:32:30.520 there's something to it, et cetera. But if you knew that the lawsuit was being funded by a Democrat who

00:32:35.640 wants to get Trump, you say to yourself, oh, that's not necessarily true then, is it? I mean,

00:32:42.000 I don't know if it's true or not. I don't want to get sued for libel. I'm just saying that as soon

00:32:46.700 as you put, you know, ugly money behind it, all the credibility goes away. So if you don't know

00:32:52.620 there's ugly money behind something, you don't really have the full picture, do you? So there's

00:33:01.340 that. All right. There's a viral video of what's being called a angel mom whose daughter was died

00:33:11.740 from a fentanyl overdose. So I guess I would make me an angel stepdad because my stepson died of a

00:33:17.980 fentanyl overdose. But she was in Congress talking to Dan Goldman, who was doing his best to try to

00:33:24.780 get her to support his point of view, which is that the Democrats say they want extra funding for

00:33:29.740 Border Patrol. And Dan Goldman is trying to get her to say, but so you would agree, you know,

00:33:37.200 I'm paraphrasing, you would agree that if fentanyl coming across the border is a problem,

00:33:43.000 and you, of course it is, then adding more Border Patrol would be one step toward decreasing that

00:33:49.600 problem. And do you know what the angel mom said? Again, paraphrasing, nope, because I've been to the

00:33:58.840 border and you haven't. If you talk to the Border Patrol, they'll tell you they're making sandwiches

00:34:04.200 for the migrants. If you add more people, they will make more sandwiches. If you make more sandwiches, 0.99

00:34:12.360 you have more people coming because they like sandwiches. If you add more people, do you know what

00:34:19.860 that's like? Hey, Dan Goldman, I've got a coffee maker for you. In concept, all you have to do is push

00:34:27.860 the button and you get a delicious cup of coffee. Mmm, mmm, mmm. So everything's good about that, right,

00:34:35.120 Dan Goldman? No. In the real world, they're fucking making sandwiches. And this, this angel mom, she not only

00:34:45.720 destroyed him, but she knelt on his fucking neck. It was a, it was just a joy to watch. And the joy was not,

00:34:56.040 you know, the subject is so tragic, it's almost unimaginable, literally unimaginable. But

00:35:03.000 watching Dan Goldman not understanding anything about how the real world works and thinking he

00:35:11.100 can just push the button on that coffee maker and get a delicious cup of coffee and then having his

00:35:15.980 reality shattered by somebody who said, you've never been there, have you? You've never been to the

00:35:21.620 border. Beautiful. Just beautiful. All right. How about, oh, AI education? I was going to talk

00:35:37.260 about this at first, but so Tyler Cowen writing in Marginal Revolution says there might be two ways

00:35:43.720 AI will change education. One is it might make better videos like Khan Academy and come up with

00:35:51.940 tests on its own and, you know, maybe it does lesson plans and just does like some kind of video

00:35:58.100 teaching. Now that would be good. But as Tyler Cowen points out on Marginal Revolution, that the other

00:36:06.520 model might be better, which is having AI or robot as a companion. And then you just hang around with

00:36:14.380 your companion and it kind of teaches you about life as it goes. Not necessarily, you know, teaching

00:36:22.420 you spelling or something like that, but sort of giving you life advice that would maybe put you in

00:36:29.500 the right mindset to go learn how to spell on your own, you know, basically setting you up for success

00:36:35.240 by being effectively a smart parent following you around all the time. But you would think it's just

00:36:41.520 your buddy. Yeah, mentor. And I agree with that because specifically what I wanted was a robot

00:36:49.460 and I will have one. I will have this robot, probably the first Tesla that comes out. And I wanted to

00:36:57.760 follow me around and I want to be able to turn to it and say, you know what? I keep hearing about

00:37:02.120 this Sumerian civilization. Was that like the first civilization? And what kind of technology did they

00:37:08.820 have? And what part of the country or the world were they in? And it just tells you. And then you're

00:37:14.880 just walking down the street and suddenly you know about the Sumerian culture. That literally is

00:37:20.040 something I did with AI the other day. I always wanted to learn about Sumeria, but I was never

00:37:25.340 interested enough to like research it in front of a computer. But while I was, you know, doing,

00:37:31.220 you know, just doing my morning routine, I had my AI out. So I just told it to give me a lesson on

00:37:35.880 Sumeria. So it did. Now I know. So that's the way I like to learn. Dr. Huberman's talking about a new

00:37:44.920 study that says that love can reduce pain. Do you believe that? That if you're in love, the region of

00:37:53.740 the brain that handles that euphoria interferes with the pain part of the, yeah, I mean, it feels

00:38:00.540 like it. Now, what is the thing that causes you the most pain? Love. What's the thing that helps

00:38:11.180 reduce your pain? Love. So it's not a perfect system, is it? The only thing that can reduce

00:38:19.740 your pain naturally is the thing that causes most of it when it goes bad. But my only addition to this

00:38:27.320 is that this is an example of brain hacking. Now, it's not one you can do easily because you can't

00:38:35.000 just say, oh, I'll fall in love if I want to get rid of my pain. But as a hypnotist, this is the sort

00:38:40.740 of brain hacking I've been doing all my life. And let me describe what I mean by that. Brain hacking is

00:38:47.300 taking advantage, this is my personal definition, taking advantage of the accidental connections

00:38:53.560 that exist in your brain that are never activated because they're only accidental connections. It

00:38:58.900 doesn't occur to you to even activate them. They're just an accident of geography. You know,

00:39:06.640 there's something in your brain that's like physically next to or connected to something else.

00:39:11.220 And you can do everything from change your preferences to change your mindset if you can

00:39:17.520 find those weird accidental connections like love and pain. Now, love and pain, like I said,

00:39:23.360 you couldn't work with that because you can't optionally fall in love. But there's a whole bunch

00:39:29.340 of stuff that you can do that would hack your brain in different ways to make yourself more effective.

00:39:34.880 So it's a larger thing, which once you learn how to do it, it really does change everything.

00:39:41.680 If you don't realize you can change your own brain, not just by education, but fundamentally

00:39:46.900 reprogramming what connects to what, so it's just a different machine, then you really lose

00:39:53.200 now because your brain is very, very programmable, not just learning, not just learning, but to

00:40:01.740 become a different machine. Like you can actually change the structure of the machine through

00:40:07.460 your behavior. Well, Trump is arguing that presidents should have total immunity. If you

00:40:14.800 haven't heard of this argument, the argument is that no matter what the president did, the

00:40:20.140 other team would say it's illegal, and then they would always just be prosecuting the president

00:40:24.940 and there wouldn't be anything else. Now, let's do the real world versus the concept.

00:40:31.740 Concept. Nobody's above the law. That even if the president breaks a law, like murdering

00:40:41.160 somebody, right? I mean, it's more important that the president is held to the standard of

00:40:47.460 law. Just like, wouldn't it be great to get a cup of coffee just by pushing one button?

00:40:54.100 Yeah. Let's just hold everybody to the standard that nobody's above the law. Then people will

00:40:58.740 not want to break the law and we're all better off, right? Yeah. Delicious coffee. But in the

00:41:05.980 real world, that place where Trump resides, that place that connects Trump to every working

00:41:13.480 class person is that the real world has no fucking connection to your concept. In the real world,

00:41:22.740 the day somebody took office, they would already be under attack by the other team to try to put

00:41:30.000 them in jail. It's all they would do. Now, if you don't think that's all they would do, you haven't

00:41:37.080 been paying attention because they have the power to impeach. So what did the Democrats do all fucking

00:41:43.420 day? They tried to impeach him all fucking day. And to the point of not even doing the people's work.

00:41:51.160 They were doing that while the pandemic was unfolding and they weren't paying attention.

00:41:57.880 Right? So the real world, if you give somebody a hammer, they start hitting shit.

00:42:04.780 That's it. You give somebody a hammer, they're going to hit some shit. You think it's just going

00:42:10.660 to be nails, don't you? Well, maybe if you're lucky. No, but if you have a hammer, you're going to

00:42:17.360 probably hit more than a nail. All right. So Trump is right about that. And then one of the, I guess

00:42:25.720 some judge asked this dumb question, which is, are you saying that if on the last day of office,

00:42:31.780 the president ordered SEAL Team 6 to kill his political opponent, that that should be completely

00:42:39.060 okay, right? So you're saying, now, I think we need to get better judges. Can I explain how the real

00:42:50.740 world works? Let me explain how the real world works. The president gets SEAL Team 6 together and

00:42:59.120 says, I want you to kill my opponent. SEAL Team 6 then tells their bosses and that guy goes to jail

00:43:06.100 forever. That's how the real world works. SEAL Team 6 isn't going to go fucking kill your political

00:43:12.700 opponent in the real world. Now, suppose they did. Suppose that actually happened. And then

00:43:22.040 suppose we knew. All right. If nobody knows, that's a whole different story. But suppose we

00:43:26.420 knew. And he said, yeah, I did it. I got immunity. Too bad. Neener, neener. Do you think that that 0.52

00:43:32.960 president could then just go out in the world, having murdered somebody in front of all of us

00:43:39.320 and just live their life? No. Somebody would kill them. Somebody would try. And their family could

00:43:50.040 never go out in public again. You know, their entire life would be basically never leaving the

00:43:55.300 house. Yeah. Now, nobody's going to kill their opponent on the last day of the presidency.

00:44:01.280 Because nobody thinks that works. It's ridiculous. Right? So in the real world,

00:44:08.140 Trump is 100% right. You can't have presidents, you know, being charged with crimes for what they

00:44:14.880 do in office. You just can't. He's 100% right. And their counter examples are just stupid.

00:44:22.680 Peter Navarro, it looks like he's going to jail.

00:44:25.440 Or he might. The Department of Justice is seeking six months in prison because he defied a subpoena

00:44:33.940 over the January 6th thing. His claim was that he was covered under executive privilege

00:44:38.700 and immunity. But that claim is, you know, sketchy, according to the courts.

00:44:45.120 But let's add Peter Navarro to the pardon list because we see more and more examples of Republicans

00:44:52.960 being hunted. And we don't believe that this would have happened to a Democrat necessarily.

00:44:59.100 And this is my most motivating topic. So we've got a lot of critical things that have to happen

00:45:09.540 from the border to everything else. So there's lots and lots of considerations when you're looking

00:45:14.940 for a new president. But my number one consideration is the weaponization of the Department of Justice

00:45:20.240 and the Pardons. I'll take that over everything. I'll take that over everything. Just give me that

00:45:29.640 one thing. And that's why I could easily support a Vivek or a Trump or a DeSantis, because I think

00:45:38.820 they'll all end up in the same place on the pardons. I think. I hope. But, yeah.

00:45:46.420 The weaponized justice system against Republicans has to be the first thing we fix. It has to be.

00:45:54.840 You've got to fix that, because that's like having something shoved down your throat,

00:46:00.540 and then somebody's inviting you to dinner and asking you why you're not eating. Well, maybe it's

00:46:05.460 because you shoved a broomstick down my entire throat. Like, get that out first, and then we can 0.96

00:46:11.620 talk about the other stuff. So, yeah. You better get those guys out of prison right away. All right.

00:46:19.960 And by the way, every second between now and the time a Republican frees those people,

00:46:27.460 which I hope is what's going to happen, is a disgrace. It's a disgrace to the country.

00:46:35.720 I was going to say embarrassment, but I don't get embarrassed. The country should be embarrassed.

00:46:40.600 Like, I don't think you can show your head in public when you're like this. I think that we

00:46:46.720 have nothing to say to other countries. I think we should just shut the fuck up about their abusing

00:46:53.340 civil rights or whatever we think they're doing. Yeah. No. If we're putting our own citizens in jail

00:46:59.640 for political reasons, I know, I know there's crimes involved too, but we all agree, pretty sure in the

00:47:06.440 real world, these crimes would have been ignored, you know, as just protests. So, let's talk about

00:47:16.720 something else. So, you know, the Congress was trying to figure out a deal that if Democrats would

00:47:24.380 agree on something on the border, maybe Republicans would agree on something on the budget. So, they're

00:47:29.840 trying to reach some kind of deal that was both border, security, and budget. Do you know why that

00:47:36.080 can't work? There's a reason it can't work. By design, it can't work. Here's what can work.

00:47:44.960 You can negotiate when the two of you don't want exactly the same things or things that are, you know,

00:47:50.500 opposite logically. If I've got a product and you want it and I don't need the product because, you

00:47:59.480 know, I can make all of them I want, but I want your money, then we can make a deal. Because what you

00:48:05.440 and I want are different things. You want my product, I want your money, boom, we got a deal. We just have

00:48:10.580 to figure out the amount. But if you want the same things, such as, I think I would like the Jewish 0.99

00:48:18.700 state to exist. Well, what do you think? I think I would like it to completely disappear.

00:48:25.580 That's not something you can negotiate. There's no middle ground between existing and not existing.

00:48:32.980 Not really. Likewise, there's no logical way you can make a deal on budget and border

00:48:41.000 because both sides need both things. The Republicans need the border to be fixed, but the Democrats need

00:48:52.300 just as hard for it not to be fixed. There's no way to make a deal. They want the same limited

00:48:58.780 resource that can only be one way or the other and there's nothing in between.

00:49:03.640 Same with the budget. The Republicans want what they want on the budget. The Democrats want what

00:49:12.280 they want on the budget and it's not the same. So you can't have the budget being what the Democrats

00:49:18.440 want without it being not what the Republicans want. So you see the point yet? I hope I'm being

00:49:24.540 clear. You can't negotiate by saying that these two things are your two negotiating variables

00:49:30.820 because there's nothing to work with. So the reason it's not solved is that it's unsolvable.

00:49:36.680 It can't be solved under that setup. Now, who do you think would know that that can't work?

00:49:43.140 Trump. Because Trump knows how to make a deal. He literally knows what the real world looks like

00:49:50.260 and how to make a real business deal. And he would know, as 100% of all dealmakers know,

00:49:56.840 you can't make a deal if there's absolutes involved that can't be violated. And the Democrats

00:50:03.740 are never going to be happy with a closed border. The Republicans will never be happy with an open

00:50:07.860 one. There's not really something in between that anybody's even serious about, such as better vetting

00:50:15.600 or something like that. There's nothing practical even being talked about. So no, not only will Congress

00:50:22.400 fail, they have to. It's a designed failure. You're going to have to either add another topic,

00:50:31.040 so there's something to really negotiate on, or get rid of one of the topics, so you're just talking

00:50:37.480 about the budget. And then within just the budget, maybe you could trade this for that. But if you add

00:50:44.200 the complication of immigration to budget, how in the world are they going to make a deal on that?

00:50:50.600 Just commonsensically, how do you reach a deal when you have two things that neither can

00:50:55.340 negotiate on? So to imagine that the public has been so bamboozled to think, oh, we're almost there.

00:51:02.800 Look at us doing this work. We've decided that this is our structure of our deal. Now we just have to

00:51:08.200 work out the details. That can't happen. That can't happen. They've designed a failed system

00:51:14.840 from the start. There's only one way it goes. No. That's it. So I'm going to predict that eventually

00:51:23.580 the border has to be separated from the budget deal, or they're going to have to do something

00:51:30.080 different than whatever this is. They're not going to make any progress on this.

00:51:33.440 And Trump has already said, more to my point, that the only deal that the Congress should accept,

00:51:41.580 and of course Congress, the Republicans are already listening to him, because Trump is the

00:51:46.320 presumptive next president, they would think. And he's saying the only deal that they should accept

00:51:52.800 is a perfect border deal on top of a perfect budget deal. In other words, Trump is saying the same

00:51:59.520 thing I'm doing, different language, but he's saying these are not things that you trade one for the

00:52:04.160 other. But he just says it in a better way, really. No, I want both of them perfect, because that's what

00:52:11.880 the country needs. They need a budget that works. They need a border that works. Don't tell me you're

00:52:17.100 going to give me a fucking bad border so I can get a better budget. That's a sucker play. You walk away

00:52:24.180 from that deal. You walk away from the room if that's the only structure they're dealing with.

00:52:29.740 So Trump is right. He's saying either we shove this completely down your throat,

00:52:34.920 or we need to negotiate with a whole different process. But no, we're not going to take half of

00:52:41.720 this to get half of the other thing. I agree with him. Which means that they can't get anywhere.

00:52:49.180 All right, here's a thought experiment for you. Try this with your Democrat friends.

00:52:57.700 It goes like this. I posted this, so if you want to send it to him, in my words, you can. It's on my X

00:53:03.760 feed. So a thought experiment. All right, imagine one American state that implements nothing but

00:53:11.480 mainstream Republican policies, and they don't even have to argue about it, right? There's nobody on the

00:53:17.160 other side. They just go full Republican in every way, from the school system to taxes to law

00:53:24.760 enforcement and everything else. Then there's another state that goes the other way, and it's full

00:53:29.540 Democrat policies, right? They got everything from reparations to sanctuary city and high taxes for

00:53:37.820 the rich people, just the whole boat. Then you wait 25 years, and now ask your Democrat friend

00:53:45.460 to describe both states 25 years from now. What do you think will happen?

00:53:55.060 Well, in the real world, I'll tell you what would happen. Then I'll tell you what happens if you ask

00:53:59.480 somebody about it. All right. So I've got a hypothesis that Republicans can predict the future with

00:54:05.340 eerie precision on this test. So if you said, all right, how do those two states work out? The

00:54:12.020 Republicans say, well, the Republican state has well-educated people who are doing well,

00:54:17.660 and the families and, you know, everything looks good. And then they would, you would say to the

00:54:25.380 Republicans, well, how do you think the Democrat state went? They say, oh, 25 years of that probably has

00:54:32.020 just decayed into something like, you know, those areas in Seattle that were run by the straight 0.97

00:54:36.780 people. What was that called? Yeah, it's probably a complete failed state. Chas. Yeah, the Chas. 1.00

00:54:44.300 Chas is actually a perfect example of what the entire state would be if they use the same policies

00:54:51.180 as within Chas, which apparently Democrats were happy enough with. Chas and chop. Yeah. It's funny. 0.99

00:54:58.440 Those, those, those, those things that young people will never hear. They'll never hear about

00:55:02.620 Chas and chop. All right. So here's what I think. Under that condition, the migrants would flood only 1.00

00:55:10.400 the Democrat state. So all the migrants that would have ordinarily, hypothetically, gone to both states 0.86

00:55:16.400 would go only to the one state in unlimited numbers. And all the rich people in the Democrat state

00:55:23.820 would eventually move to the other state for lower taxes. Because if it's just Democrats,

00:55:29.200 they're going to take like a 90% tax on the richest people. You know that, right? So nobody's going to

00:55:35.680 stay there and pay a 90% tax if they're mobile and all rich people are mobile. So they would just

00:55:40.440 immediately pull up stakes and move to another state. So you lose all your rich people. So you lose your tax

00:55:45.860 space. Then the poor people would move to your state because you got better benefits. So you'd have poor

00:55:53.700 people moving from the Republican state to the Democrat state to get benefits. You'd have the rich

00:55:59.040 people moving from the Democrat state to the Republican state. Now wait 25 years and game that

00:56:04.840 out. It only goes one way. There's only one possible outcome to that. A complete failed state in one case

00:56:13.260 and a marvelous happy state in the other. Now you could argue, oh, they're not so happy because abortion is 0.98

00:56:19.440 illegal in the Republican state. And you'd have some, you know, at least that's a debate that

00:56:25.160 I would respect the debate no matter which way it goes. But in general, you would have a failed state

00:56:32.720 and you would have one successful one. So here's what I would like to add. We're in this weird imaginary

00:56:41.640 world where we imagine that Republicans and Democrats differ on policy preferences. That's

00:56:49.180 what you think, right? Because every conversation about politics is, I like this policy, you like

00:56:55.660 that policy. I don't think anything like that's happening. My filter says that the people who can do

00:57:03.320 math and can imagine the future, in other words, they can imagine what's happening today and then

00:57:09.560 projected in their mind into the future, that they're all on the same side. And the people who

00:57:16.160 don't have the ability to imagine how current situations would unfold in the future, either

00:57:22.800 because they're mentally limited in some cases, but more often because they just don't have that

00:57:28.040 training or exposure to that kind of stuff. Have you noticed that Democrats skew young and Republicans

00:57:34.660 skew old? People under 25 literally don't have developed brains. And people under 30 literally 0.56

00:57:45.300 don't have as much experience as everybody who's 31. Everybody who's 31 has more experience than

00:57:53.860 everybody who's 30. And so by the time you reach your 50s and 60s, it really makes a difference.

00:57:59.220 So this is the difference of the coffee maker one button versus the taking you in a flow state.

00:58:07.140 If you're young, that coffee maker sounds like the best freaking idea. Seriously, one button? I love

00:58:14.140 that. But if you're my age, and as soon as you saw how many features this thing had, you said to

00:58:20.180 yourself, oh shit, I know how this is going to go. I still like it. I still recommend it, by the way.

00:58:24.780 It's a good machine. Well, the Mule makes way better coffee than a Mr. Coffee. And Mr. Coffee is a

00:58:34.560 fine device as well. But there's no comparison of the taste. Yeah. Because the coffee machine adds

00:58:40.160 this crema, like this air-filled thing that's like a replacement for cream and sugar. It's amazing.

00:58:45.700 So anyway, so young people, I think, listen to Democrat ideas, and they say, I like that idea

00:58:54.740 because I like pushing my coffee maker one button and having everything I want. Older people say,

00:59:02.180 that coffee maker has got more features than you need. You're just going to be fixing that shit.

00:59:07.020 And that's the difference. So the difference is purely on being able to project what's happening

00:59:14.600 today into the future and being good at math. That's it. There's no such thing as Democrat or

00:59:22.980 Republican. There's just people who are better at math and can imagine the future better.

00:59:29.100 Science did an experiment once in which they took people who were having trouble saving for the future,

00:59:35.320 and they made a, like an AI, CGI, it was CGI in those days, an image of the person older. So you

00:59:45.140 could see yourself looking older, and then people would save more because they were saving themselves.

00:59:51.740 They saw a picture of themselves as an old person. They wanted to protect that person because it's

00:59:55.600 them. So they basically helped people who couldn't imagine the future on their own. Now, my career

01:00:03.100 has had some success, but I also imagined it perfectly from the age of six. Every part of my entire life,

01:00:11.960 I imagined pretty much exactly the way it unfolded, which is not an accident, you know, because I

01:00:19.100 caused it to go in the direction that I wanted it to unfold. So here's my hypothesis. If you gave this

01:00:26.320 thought experiment to a Democrat and a Republican, the Republicans would laugh and say, that's an easy

01:00:33.240 one. The Republican state's doing great, the Democrat state becomes a socialist hellhole,

01:00:38.080 and would be right. You say this to a Democrat, what do you think they would say? Would they say,

01:00:43.320 you know, the Democrat one's going to be like a utopia, and the Republican one is going to have no

01:00:49.340 abortion, no rights? Everybody has to, you know, be like, I don't know, some religious fanatic or

01:00:56.280 something. Would they say that? I have a hypothesis that they would change the topic.

01:01:04.900 So go like this. Here's my thought experiment. You know, one state does this, one state does the

01:01:09.640 other. What happens in 25 years? Describe it. Oh, you're one of those Trump supporters. Okay,

01:01:15.780 I might be or it might not be, but that has nothing to do with the topic. What do you think

01:01:19.300 these two states would do? Don't try this with me, you Trump supporter. You know, that's how it would

01:01:27.040 go. So my hypothesis is that you would you would soon learn the Democrats can't game forward the

01:01:34.800 current system to know what it turns into. What do you think? And that we just imagine it's a

01:01:41.000 philosophical difference. It's not at all. It's just math and ability to imagine the future.

01:01:50.380 Constantine Kissen said this. He said on X, he said, the people who are the strongest advocates for

01:01:57.700 Western civilization are people like me who have experienced the alternative, which is similar to

01:02:04.680 what I'm saying. So Constantine says he has this thing called experience. And he knows that this

01:02:11.240 set of activities leads to something he's lived through and it's hell. Now he's a youngish guy. 1.00

01:02:19.620 So in this case, he had a real life experience, which caught him, you know, put him up to speed

01:02:25.980 pretty quickly. Yeah, he's 38. That's a young guy. I mean, by my standards. So yes, the people who

01:02:34.720 understand cause and effect and math and what leads to what are kind of all on the same side.

01:02:43.080 Speaking of Jamie Dimon, how funny is it that a Democrat and you could argue that Jamie Dimon,

01:02:49.420 he's the CEO of JP Morgan, you could argue he's the most important finance banker money guy in the

01:02:57.740 country. Is that fair? I mean, you can say Warren Buffett, but that's more of a portfolio situation.

01:03:04.760 I think Jamie Dimon would be the number one banker business guy in the country by reputation as well

01:03:12.260 his job. How funny is it that he made national headlines and trended for days simply for saying

01:03:21.880 something that was observable and normal? It was national news that a prominent Democrat said

01:03:30.660 something normal and observable. We can all see it. And what he said was, it's not going to turn out

01:03:37.900 well if you demonize MAGA. How do you not know that? Like, why did Jamie Dimon have to say in public

01:03:47.480 that you really need to knock off the demonizing part of your own public? Why? Because Jamie Dimon

01:03:55.520 does not have TDS. And he's a certain age where he knows how things work. He knows how things work.

01:04:04.580 So he's trying to educate his younger, dumber Democrats. And he told them directly, look, you got to

01:04:10.880 cut out this MAGA, you're all bad stuff that will only lead to bad. Correct. And he said, you got to

01:04:19.100 grow up and understand that Trump has a lot of supporters strictly because he got the big stuff right.

01:04:26.080 He said, Jamie Dimon says he got taxes right, China right, immigration right, something else.

01:04:37.360 But just hold in your head the amazingness of the fact that it was national news, not that Jamie Dimon

01:04:45.960 said something smart. Because it's kind of obvious. I mean, to all of us, it's obvious that Trump did a

01:04:53.480 bunch of things that Biden is not getting right. Obvious. And it's obvious that, you know,

01:04:58.960 demonizing one part of the public can't possibly lead to anything good. So when you look at Jamie

01:05:05.400 Dimon, he does not look like he's brainwashed. You look at his eyes, you look at his face, you listen

01:05:11.420 to the things he says, and he sounds like somebody who is just telling you what's right in front of you.

01:05:17.020 Right in front of you. We all see it. And he, and being a Democrat who can simply describe

01:05:23.540 what we all see was national news. That's how bad it is. The TDS is so bad that when somebody can,

01:05:33.360 you know, cut through it as Jamie Dimon did, it's news. I guess I'm just blown away by the fact that

01:05:41.500 that's news. That should have been a nothing. It should have been a guy was talking. Right?

01:05:48.580 Because we should have all been on that page. It should have been a guy's talking and nobody cared.

01:05:54.020 Because it would be like what you already thought. The obvious.

01:05:59.060 Or here's another one. Fetterman made news

01:06:02.180 by saying that he believes China should own zero farmland in the United States.

01:06:07.580 Again, a prominent Democrat made news by saying something that's obvious and observable.

01:06:19.800 And how could you disagree with it? Because, and he also said he agrees with DeSantis.

01:06:25.640 You know, which I guess made it a little more of a news thing. So,

01:06:30.800 Fetterman makes news, not because he's disagreeing with Democrats,

01:06:34.660 but because the thing he's talking about is both obvious and observable.

01:06:40.340 What possible benefit does the United States get from China owning our farmland? 0.94

01:06:47.040 They could literally turn off our food if they had enough. Imagine that. They just tell their

01:06:52.880 farmers to, you know, leave the crops in the field. If they owned enough farmland,

01:06:58.740 we'd be begging for food. So, no.

01:07:02.960 It's a terrible idea.

01:07:05.940 Fetterman's right.

01:07:08.580 Sean Strickland, he's a UFC fighter.

01:07:11.700 And he's making a lot of

01:07:12.980 noise.

01:07:14.720 And he, you know, I already told you about him

01:07:17.020 doing some anti-woke

01:07:18.840 stuff that made a lot of

01:07:20.800 news. But he did it again.

01:07:22.920 So he had another event.

01:07:24.200 And he just went nuts on the crowd, who was just cheering like crazy.

01:07:28.540 And he doesn't like Nike.

01:07:29.840 He calls it the Chinese checkmark.

01:07:33.280 Because of the swoosh.

01:07:35.180 The Chinese checkmark. 0.93

01:07:37.160 So he sees all of his competitors who were in the Chinese checkmark.

01:07:40.700 And he's mocking them

01:07:41.500 for literally being marked by China.

01:07:44.400 And I think,

01:07:45.860 OK.

01:07:46.720 You know, my first impression of him was not,

01:07:49.680 you know, here's our next leader and the smartest guy in the room.

01:07:52.460 Honestly, that wasn't my first impression.

01:07:56.280 And then he keeps talking.

01:07:58.600 And he wins me over.

01:08:00.580 Totally won me over.

01:08:02.540 Like, you know, I'm not going to say I agree with everything he says.

01:08:05.200 You know, he says some pretty rough stuff.

01:08:06.920 But he won me over.

01:08:08.740 He's like a real citizen who wants

01:08:10.560 these citizens of the United States

01:08:12.360 to be respected and

01:08:14.340 do well.

01:08:16.140 And he doesn't care who he punches

01:08:18.440 to make it happen.

01:08:19.280 And he,

01:08:22.700 somebody,

01:08:23.440 a fan actually stormed the,

01:08:26.920 he was on a stage

01:08:28.640 at a table

01:08:29.340 with a bunch of other people.

01:08:31.460 Imagine in today's world

01:08:33.140 somebody from the audience

01:08:34.980 storms the table

01:08:36.120 while he's speaking out

01:08:38.080 in a very provocative way.

01:08:39.420 The guy ran up there

01:08:42.180 to shake his hand

01:08:43.060 in the middle of his speech.

01:08:45.640 Have you ever seen that?

01:08:48.280 And here's the best part.

01:08:50.420 You've seen an adult man

01:08:51.800 coming at you hard

01:08:52.840 after you've said provocative things.

01:08:55.800 What do you feel?

01:08:57.580 Well, you should feel fear.

01:08:58.660 If I'm doing a speech

01:09:01.640 and I see a man stand up

01:09:02.920 and run toward me

01:09:04.100 and run up on stage

01:09:05.720 and lean across the table,

01:09:07.540 I'm going into full defensive mode.

01:09:10.580 But,

01:09:11.420 I'm not a champion of the UFC fighter.

01:09:14.340 Do you know what the champion

01:09:15.200 of the UFC fighter did?

01:09:17.480 Stood up,

01:09:19.380 kept talking,

01:09:21.280 shook his hand.

01:09:23.880 It was beautiful.

01:09:25.960 It was beautiful.

01:09:28.320 Yeah, you have to see it.

01:09:30.980 All right.

01:09:31.780 And then,

01:09:33.700 you all know that

01:09:34.920 President Millet,

01:09:37.580 Millet,

01:09:38.820 I never say right,

01:09:40.140 of Argentina,

01:09:41.240 you know,

01:09:41.460 he went to the WEF in Davos

01:09:43.300 and basically told them

01:09:44.820 their collectivism ideas

01:09:46.380 are going to make everybody poor.

01:09:49.320 And they're all

01:09:50.320 fucking elite idiots. 0.81

01:09:52.320 I made up that last part,

01:09:53.640 but he implied that.

01:09:54.980 Now,

01:09:55.400 we of course all cheered

01:09:56.440 and said,

01:09:57.140 well,

01:09:57.300 isn't that unique,

01:09:58.880 that thing that happened

01:10:00.220 one time ever?

01:10:02.380 Well,

01:10:02.660 it turns out

01:10:03.000 it wasn't one time ever.

01:10:05.000 So,

01:10:05.580 the WEF got another

01:10:06.660 little wake-up call

01:10:07.560 from a gentleman

01:10:09.160 named Kevin Roberts,

01:10:12.960 who's from,

01:10:15.380 some,

01:10:15.920 I think he's some

01:10:16.560 Republican thing,

01:10:17.620 that kind of guy.

01:10:18.780 But,

01:10:19.120 he got the audience,

01:10:20.400 in other words,

01:10:20.880 he was on stage

01:10:21.700 and he's a heritage guy,

01:10:23.580 heritage foundation guy.

01:10:24.980 Thank you.

01:10:26.840 So,

01:10:27.360 heritage foundation guy,

01:10:28.900 you know,

01:10:29.180 conservative-leaning

01:10:30.220 enterprise.

01:10:33.240 He's there,

01:10:34.160 and here's,

01:10:35.260 I'll give them credit.

01:10:36.840 So,

01:10:37.100 at the WEF,

01:10:38.100 they let him talk

01:10:39.180 and they did not

01:10:40.400 interrupt him.

01:10:41.480 And it wasn't because

01:10:42.340 he was giving a speech,

01:10:43.320 he was just in a panel.

01:10:44.940 And to have a panel discussion

01:10:46.480 and the things he said

01:10:48.920 and the fact

01:10:50.440 he wasn't interrupted

01:10:51.440 was kind of impressive.

01:10:52.920 So,

01:10:53.880 I'm going to give the WEF

01:10:55.440 a tentative pat on the back

01:10:57.780 for letting both

01:10:58.920 Millet speak.

01:11:00.140 They knew what he was

01:11:00.720 going to say,

01:11:01.680 right?

01:11:01.860 The WEF wasn't that surprised.

01:11:03.940 And they may have known

01:11:05.020 what this gentleman

01:11:05.720 was going to say

01:11:06.440 because,

01:11:07.200 you know,

01:11:07.900 the Heritage Foundation.

01:11:09.300 So,

01:11:09.840 I'm going to give the WEF

01:11:11.040 some credit.

01:11:13.120 They allowed the 0.86

01:11:14.400 very competing opinions

01:11:16.020 and they gave it

01:11:17.040 some attention.

01:11:18.420 Now,

01:11:18.900 that doesn't clear them

01:11:19.920 of,

01:11:20.240 you know,

01:11:20.520 every allegation

01:11:21.380 against them

01:11:22.040 or make them

01:11:23.180 the best thing

01:11:23.900 that ever happened.

01:11:24.780 But you can't ignore that.

01:11:27.280 Right?

01:11:27.700 It's so rare

01:11:28.520 that somebody

01:11:29.700 will give a full

01:11:31.100 hearing to the other side

01:11:33.140 that it makes news.

01:11:36.200 That's why Vivek Ramaswamy

01:11:38.120 was so impressive

01:11:39.460 with a lot of viral videos

01:11:40.820 of him literally

01:11:41.860 doing the same thing.

01:11:43.080 Here's the microphone.

01:11:44.660 You've got this much time.

01:11:46.660 Tell me what you think.

01:11:48.240 And then I'll tell you

01:11:48.860 what I think.

01:11:49.920 So,

01:11:50.120 first of all,

01:11:50.800 compliments to the WF

01:11:51.980 for inviting

01:11:52.860 the alternative opinions.

01:11:55.360 But let me just say

01:11:56.020 what he said.

01:11:58.200 And I'm

01:11:59.240 cribbing this

01:12:00.040 from a post

01:12:00.980 by MJ Truth Ultra.

01:12:03.100 He paraphrased

01:12:03.800 some of it.

01:12:04.280 It's longer than this.

01:12:05.260 But he says,

01:12:06.620 among other things,

01:12:07.460 it's laughable

01:12:08.280 that you or anyone

01:12:09.260 would describe Davos

01:12:10.620 as protecting

01:12:11.460 liberal democracy.

01:12:13.420 It is equally laughable

01:12:15.120 to use the word

01:12:15.820 dictatorship at Davos

01:12:17.400 and aim that

01:12:18.520 at President Trump.

01:12:20.260 President Trump,

01:12:21.160 if he's the next president,

01:12:22.200 is going to take on

01:12:23.660 the power of the elites.

01:12:25.580 So his take

01:12:26.620 was that the people

01:12:27.440 in that room

01:12:27.940 were the elites

01:12:28.620 and that they are

01:12:29.380 the problem.

01:12:31.100 And he goes,

01:12:31.640 I want to drive home

01:12:33.540 with all due respect,

01:12:35.320 you're part of the problem.

01:12:37.160 Talking to the people

01:12:38.080 who are in the room

01:12:38.940 with him.

01:12:41.300 Political elites

01:12:42.100 tell the average person

01:12:43.140 that the reality is X

01:12:44.480 when in fact

01:12:45.620 reality is Y.

01:12:47.800 And then he gives examples.

01:12:49.820 Oh,

01:12:50.060 he was good.

01:12:51.360 Yeah,

01:12:51.680 I'm paraphrasing,

01:12:53.020 so you're missing

01:12:53.800 the beauty

01:12:55.020 and the power

01:12:55.700 of what he said.

01:12:56.420 He is really good

01:12:58.000 at talking.

01:12:59.620 You know,

01:12:59.800 he has vivek

01:13:01.160 quality

01:13:01.900 communication skills

01:13:04.320 and that's,

01:13:05.140 you know,

01:13:05.360 the highest compliment.

01:13:07.040 So you got to

01:13:07.580 do yourself a favor

01:13:09.100 and listen to it

01:13:09.960 in his own words

01:13:10.760 because I'm not

01:13:11.260 doing it justice.

01:13:12.960 He gives some examples

01:13:14.160 where they say one thing

01:13:15.400 and it's opposite of facts.

01:13:16.640 He says,

01:13:17.000 open borders.

01:13:17.680 The elites tell us

01:13:18.820 open borders

01:13:19.400 and illegal immigration

01:13:20.480 are okay.

01:13:21.840 Americans

01:13:22.320 don't think

01:13:24.120 that's okay.

01:13:25.640 Now I love

01:13:26.160 the way he says it.

01:13:27.620 He could have said

01:13:28.480 it's not okay

01:13:29.340 but that's just

01:13:30.800 a debatable point.

01:13:32.440 Instead he says

01:13:33.260 the Americans

01:13:33.900 don't think that's okay.

01:13:35.280 By majority

01:13:36.020 that's true.

01:13:38.460 On public safety

01:13:39.660 he says

01:13:40.020 the elites tell us

01:13:40.900 public safety

01:13:41.580 isn't a problem

01:13:42.300 in American cities.

01:13:43.980 Americans say

01:13:44.640 that's not true.

01:13:46.560 Perfect.

01:13:47.900 Climate change

01:13:48.680 elites say

01:13:49.180 we have

01:13:49.640 this existential

01:13:50.440 crisis

01:13:51.560 that's looming.

01:13:53.340 Americans

01:13:53.780 know those solutions

01:13:55.000 are more harmful

01:13:55.840 than the problem.

01:13:59.080 China

01:13:59.560 he says

01:14:00.040 they are a number

01:14:00.460 one adversary

01:14:02.620 in the U.S.

01:14:03.240 and all free people

01:14:04.000 on Earth

01:14:04.380 and all free people

01:14:06.200 on Earth.

01:14:06.880 Elites don't acknowledge 0.99

01:14:07.960 that.

01:14:08.800 They give them

01:14:09.320 a platform.

01:14:12.200 The WHO

01:14:12.900 is discussing

01:14:14.560 foisting

01:14:15.640 gender ideology

01:14:16.780 upon the globe

01:14:17.720 and global elites

01:14:18.660 embrace it.

01:14:20.160 Trump will understand

01:14:21.020 the basic

01:14:21.560 biological reality

01:14:22.800 of manhood

01:14:23.440 and womanhood. 1.00

01:14:25.620 And then he says

01:14:26.260 Donald Trump

01:14:27.640 will be in power

01:14:29.040 not to guide sheep.

01:14:31.720 Oh wait

01:14:32.080 did he say that

01:14:32.760 or did

01:14:33.120 no he didn't say that

01:14:34.900 that was a comment

01:14:35.540 on his post.

01:14:37.280 Somebody said this.

01:14:41.460 I wish I knew

01:14:42.240 if it was him.

01:14:42.980 So maybe you can

01:14:43.500 give me a fact check.

01:14:44.240 Oh he said it?

01:14:44.900 I'm getting a confirmation

01:14:45.800 he said it.

01:14:46.800 So let me read the quote.

01:14:47.700 Donald Trump

01:14:49.340 will be in power

01:14:50.020 not to guide sheep

01:14:51.280 but to awaken lions.

01:14:55.240 That might be

01:14:55.960 the best thing

01:14:56.480 I've ever heard

01:14:57.000 in my life.

01:14:59.360 Oh Millet said it?

01:15:01.300 Did Millet say that?

01:15:02.700 So we have some question

01:15:03.780 about who's the author

01:15:04.920 of it

01:15:05.280 but it's very repeatable.

01:15:08.480 Yeah.

01:15:08.720 More people are saying

01:15:09.560 Millet said it

01:15:10.320 than this gentleman.

01:15:14.300 but let us

01:15:17.640 let us summarize

01:15:19.360 Jamie Dimond

01:15:21.380 speaking out

01:15:22.960 in favor of reason

01:15:24.180 over TDS.

01:15:27.660 Two very

01:15:28.980 very capable people

01:15:30.360 went to the WEF

01:15:31.700 and told them

01:15:32.760 they are the problem.

01:15:34.740 Never seen that before.

01:15:40.200 This UFC fighter

01:15:41.740 Strickland

01:15:43.280 he's basically

01:15:45.040 just putting it

01:15:45.700 out there.

01:15:47.120 So

01:15:47.300 and of course

01:15:48.620 Elon Musk

01:15:49.420 you know

01:15:50.480 is our

01:15:50.800 maybe the champion

01:15:52.200 of free speech

01:15:52.920 making all of this

01:15:53.720 possible.

01:15:54.860 So there is

01:15:55.860 a dad energy

01:15:56.960 that is unmistakable.

01:15:58.740 Do you all see it yet?

01:16:01.360 Do you see

01:16:02.080 the dad energy?

01:16:03.440 Now when I say dad

01:16:04.580 I don't mean male.

01:16:06.460 I mean there's

01:16:06.980 a certain energy

01:16:07.640 to the

01:16:08.140 strong parent.

01:16:10.240 So I'm going to

01:16:10.880 throw into dad energy

01:16:12.220 the so-called

01:16:14.080 angel mom

01:16:15.940 who

01:16:17.040 who just wiped

01:16:18.480 the floor

01:16:18.860 with Dan Goldman.

01:16:20.340 That angel mom

01:16:21.900 if you

01:16:23.280 if you watch

01:16:23.820 that video

01:16:24.340 and you watch

01:16:24.980 her talk

01:16:25.500 you don't want

01:16:27.540 to fuck with her. 0.98

01:16:30.220 She

01:16:30.740 she may be

01:16:31.860 and she is

01:16:33.120 an attractive 0.55

01:16:34.180 woman 0.99

01:16:34.660 but boy

01:16:36.200 does she have

01:16:36.760 dad energy.

01:16:37.520 that's dad

01:16:39.800 energy.

01:16:40.500 She didn't come

01:16:41.440 there to take

01:16:42.320 prisoners.

01:16:43.580 She came there

01:16:44.560 for war.

01:16:46.600 And let me tell you

01:16:47.900 her navigational 0.97

01:16:48.820 skills are probably

01:16:49.920 good.

01:16:51.160 Right.

01:16:51.960 I'll bet her

01:16:52.400 navigational skills

01:16:53.460 are good.

01:16:54.340 I don't think she

01:16:54.960 was just playing

01:16:55.820 with dolls

01:16:56.340 indoors when the

01:16:57.140 boys were outside.

01:16:58.340 So she's got

01:16:59.120 some stuff.

01:17:00.460 Right.

01:17:00.640 She has

01:17:00.900 she has some

01:17:01.460 real character.

01:17:02.680 But I think

01:17:07.560 this is now a

01:17:08.300 trend that will

01:17:08.960 be hard to

01:17:09.540 reverse.

01:17:10.900 And I'm going

01:17:11.840 to give you a

01:17:12.680 little palate

01:17:13.160 cleanser here.

01:17:14.320 You're probably

01:17:14.800 aware that Mark

01:17:15.720 Cuban is pro 0.92

01:17:16.740 DEI and has

01:17:17.720 been saying

01:17:18.160 some things on

01:17:19.260 the X platform

01:17:20.140 in favor of

01:17:21.540 it.

01:17:23.340 Not everybody

01:17:24.260 agrees.

01:17:25.740 But here's

01:17:26.740 why and I've

01:17:27.720 been part of

01:17:28.100 that conversation

01:17:28.820 with him.

01:17:30.300 And so his

01:17:31.260 view if I can

01:17:32.120 paraphrase it

01:17:32.780 correctly is

01:17:34.300 that a

01:17:35.060 company will

01:17:35.680 do better by

01:17:36.640 pursuing DEI

01:17:38.280 type of goals

01:17:39.040 because diversity

01:17:41.420 is an advantage

01:17:42.180 and you can

01:17:44.040 get a equally

01:17:45.480 good employee

01:17:46.300 but then you

01:17:47.420 get the double

01:17:48.300 advantage that

01:17:49.340 diversity you

01:17:51.680 know gives you

01:17:52.460 better let's

01:17:53.260 say let's say a

01:17:55.100 better understanding

01:17:55.900 of the market

01:17:56.720 just really in a

01:17:59.720 variety of ways I

01:18:00.800 would agree

01:18:01.240 diversity gives

01:18:02.220 you benefits.

01:18:03.800 Now the

01:18:04.260 question is not

01:18:04.880 that diversity

01:18:05.480 gives you

01:18:05.900 benefits that's

01:18:07.380 never really been

01:18:08.100 the key question

01:18:08.800 the question is

01:18:10.060 whether there are

01:18:10.620 other expenses to

01:18:11.660 it.

01:18:12.360 Now this is

01:18:12.880 again the coffee

01:18:14.740 machine problem.

01:18:16.420 If I said hey I

01:18:17.700 got a concept

01:18:18.380 we're going to

01:18:19.680 increase diversity

01:18:20.560 but we're not

01:18:21.840 going to give up

01:18:22.440 anything in terms

01:18:23.360 of the quality of

01:18:24.240 the employees what

01:18:25.280 do you think?

01:18:26.740 Are you down with

01:18:27.700 that?

01:18:28.940 Because that's

01:18:29.680 the world that

01:18:30.500 Mark Cuban

01:18:31.120 thinks he lives

01:18:31.940 in.

01:18:32.620 The world where

01:18:33.840 you can increase

01:18:35.160 diversity and

01:18:37.060 you're not only

01:18:37.860 not spending

01:18:39.540 anything to do

01:18:40.480 it you're just

01:18:42.120 gaining.

01:18:43.340 You know it's a

01:18:44.280 pure gain.

01:18:45.440 You get the same

01:18:46.080 quality employee

01:18:47.260 and you get the

01:18:48.720 diversity too and

01:18:49.800 that's good on a

01:18:50.760 variety of planes.

01:18:52.500 Now do you

01:18:55.240 recognize that yet?

01:18:56.320 That's the coffee

01:18:57.180 machine with one

01:18:58.100 button.

01:18:59.380 Do you know what

01:18:59.860 I'd love to do?

01:19:00.980 I would love to

01:19:01.820 increase diversity

01:19:02.760 without any impact

01:19:05.320 on anything else

01:19:06.280 and everybody else

01:19:07.340 does just as well.

01:19:09.580 But that's not

01:19:10.540 really the real

01:19:11.220 world is it?

01:19:12.880 It's not even

01:19:13.700 close.

01:19:15.120 Do you remember

01:19:15.500 when Bernie Sanders

01:19:16.500 had to be schooled

01:19:17.780 by Bill Maher

01:19:18.640 that what he

01:19:20.040 thought was equity

01:19:21.060 that the Democrats

01:19:21.920 are pushing

01:19:22.440 was nothing like

01:19:23.300 what Bernie Sanders

01:19:24.100 thought it was?

01:19:25.920 Because in the

01:19:26.780 real world you

01:19:28.200 don't get to push

01:19:28.940 one button on the

01:19:29.900 coffee machine and

01:19:30.980 it works every time.

01:19:32.720 In the real world

01:19:34.040 equity turns into

01:19:37.180 equity of outcomes

01:19:38.360 which is first of

01:19:39.880 all impossible and

01:19:40.900 second of all

01:19:41.600 destroys every

01:19:43.320 civilization guaranteed.

01:19:46.720 Bernie Sanders

01:19:47.380 didn't even know

01:19:48.160 that and it's one

01:19:49.300 of the main

01:19:49.920 platforms of the

01:19:51.040 Democrat Party

01:19:51.860 of which he is

01:19:52.880 one of the

01:19:53.240 main characters

01:19:54.400 and didn't know.

01:19:56.300 Let me tell you

01:19:56.900 why he didn't know.

01:19:58.840 Bernie Sanders

01:19:59.560 has never been

01:20:00.480 a middle class

01:20:01.340 white guy

01:20:01.920 applying for a job.

01:20:04.080 Right?

01:20:05.980 Bernie Sanders

01:20:06.860 has never been

01:20:07.920 a middle class

01:20:08.940 white guy

01:20:09.520 applying for a job.

01:20:11.420 If you've not

01:20:12.320 been one of those

01:20:13.240 you're blind. 0.54

01:20:14.860 Do you know what

01:20:15.280 Mark Cuban

01:20:15.820 has never been?

01:20:16.500 A middle class

01:20:18.180 white guy

01:20:18.880 applying for a job.

01:20:20.480 Now is Bernie

01:20:22.120 Sanders

01:20:22.540 an idiot?

01:20:24.800 I don't think so.

01:20:26.080 If you measured

01:20:26.700 his IQ

01:20:27.200 I'm sure he'll be

01:20:27.980 fine.

01:20:28.980 I'm sure he'll be

01:20:29.580 fine.

01:20:30.520 He just

01:20:31.000 is blind

01:20:32.600 to a part

01:20:34.020 of reality

01:20:34.640 that other people

01:20:35.540 live every day.

01:20:37.700 Is Mark Cuban

01:20:38.960 dumb?

01:20:40.640 Because he

01:20:41.520 disagrees with me.

01:20:42.960 Nope.

01:20:43.940 Every indication

01:20:44.900 is he's super

01:20:45.800 smart.

01:20:46.180 But has Mark Cuban

01:20:47.780 ever been

01:20:48.520 a middle class

01:20:49.320 white guy

01:20:49.920 trying to get

01:20:51.100 a job

01:20:51.480 at a big company

01:20:52.220 including his?

01:20:54.820 Has he ever

01:20:55.380 been a middle

01:20:56.480 class white guy

01:20:57.200 trying to get

01:20:57.780 a job

01:20:58.140 at Mark Cuban's

01:20:59.580 company?

01:21:01.520 Now

01:21:02.040 I will agree

01:21:03.600 with Mark Cuban

01:21:04.320 on the following

01:21:05.160 concept.

01:21:07.100 There definitely

01:21:07.900 can be companies

01:21:09.120 that increase

01:21:10.360 diversity

01:21:10.940 and

01:21:11.700 get even

01:21:13.100 better people

01:21:13.700 than they might

01:21:14.240 have gotten

01:21:14.640 because they're

01:21:15.380 maybe trying

01:21:16.280 harder to

01:21:17.020 look for the

01:21:18.200 hidden gems.

01:21:20.760 And maybe his

01:21:21.520 company is exactly

01:21:22.360 one of those.

01:21:23.500 That's possible.

01:21:24.800 So my theory

01:21:25.640 is not that

01:21:26.140 there can't be

01:21:27.300 a company

01:21:28.120 that does

01:21:28.580 better in

01:21:29.020 every way.

01:21:29.900 Of course

01:21:30.300 there can't

01:21:30.720 because there's

01:21:31.140 a variety

01:21:31.620 of everything

01:21:32.080 all the time.

01:21:33.100 And maybe

01:21:33.420 his company

01:21:33.900 has won

01:21:34.220 and that

01:21:34.520 would be

01:21:34.840 a laudable

01:21:35.680 accomplishment.

01:21:37.020 I mean

01:21:37.240 if we talk

01:21:37.780 to his

01:21:38.180 white

01:21:39.420 middle class

01:21:40.300 employees

01:21:40.920 at Cuban's

01:21:42.160 companies

01:21:42.500 which I'd love

01:21:43.080 to do by the

01:21:43.580 way, I'd love

01:21:44.500 to see if

01:21:44.960 they say

01:21:45.260 the same

01:21:45.620 thing.

01:21:46.460 You know

01:21:46.800 I didn't

01:21:47.640 think you

01:21:47.980 could get

01:21:48.280 this diversity

01:21:49.020 and also

01:21:50.260 get all the

01:21:50.720 right employees

01:21:51.340 and no

01:21:52.100 racial division

01:21:52.840 or anything

01:21:53.220 but he did

01:21:53.840 it.

01:21:54.660 Like he

01:21:55.120 pulled it

01:21:55.680 off in

01:21:56.000 our company

01:21:56.440 so maybe

01:21:57.200 other companies

01:21:57.820 could try it

01:21:58.340 too.

01:21:58.940 But here's

01:21:59.320 the problem.

01:22:00.340 It's a

01:22:00.680 math problem.

01:22:02.820 And if

01:22:04.520 the school

01:22:05.840 systems are

01:22:06.640 not creating

01:22:07.300 the supply

01:22:09.060 of let's

01:22:09.880 say just

01:22:10.500 to use one

01:22:10.940 example

01:22:11.320 black

01:22:12.840 female 0.86

01:22:13.440 STEM

01:22:14.060 majors

01:22:14.680 then if

01:22:16.120 you're a

01:22:16.380 company

01:22:16.680 who's

01:22:17.160 trying to

01:22:17.540 increase

01:22:17.860 diversity

01:22:18.380 in that

01:22:18.720 area

01:22:19.060 once all

01:22:20.860 the good

01:22:21.220 ones are

01:22:21.600 scooped up

01:22:22.180 by the

01:22:22.800 you know

01:22:23.120 the apples

01:22:23.640 and the

01:22:23.920 IBM's

01:22:24.380 what are

01:22:24.600 you going

01:22:24.840 to do?

01:22:25.660 Are you

01:22:26.020 going to

01:22:26.300 not do

01:22:26.840 diversity

01:22:27.340 because it's

01:22:29.720 just hard

01:22:30.200 or are you

01:22:32.260 going to do

01:22:32.600 diversity?

01:22:33.280 Let me tell

01:22:33.640 you a 0.57

01:22:33.900 management

01:22:34.220 rule that

01:22:35.600 I know

01:22:36.020 Mark Cuban

01:22:36.740 knows so

01:22:37.780 there's

01:22:38.320 something

01:22:38.540 mysterious

01:22:39.020 about

01:22:39.480 his

01:22:40.500 support

01:22:40.860 of

01:22:40.980 this.

01:22:47.140 All right

01:22:47.800 well I

01:22:48.040 just lost

01:22:48.400 my train

01:22:48.760 of thought.

01:22:51.500 If you're

01:22:52.700 hiring from

01:22:53.300 a limited

01:22:53.720 pool

01:22:54.120 it's just

01:22:55.700 math.

01:22:56.480 There's not

01:22:57.200 enough people

01:22:57.800 there.

01:22:58.680 So even

01:22:59.140 if Mark

01:22:59.760 Cuban

01:23:00.000 made it

01:23:00.440 work

01:23:00.780 that would

01:23:01.740 suggest

01:23:02.260 that the

01:23:02.840 companies

01:23:03.200 and the

01:23:03.640 physical

01:23:04.040 environment

01:23:04.620 of Mark

01:23:05.400 Cuban's

01:23:05.800 businesses

01:23:06.220 have a

01:23:07.360 smaller pool

01:23:08.140 to pick

01:23:08.580 good

01:23:08.900 employees

01:23:09.320 from.

01:23:10.320 It has

01:23:10.760 nothing to

01:23:11.220 do with

01:23:11.460 anybody's

01:23:11.900 genes.

01:23:12.700 It's not

01:23:13.020 a racial

01:23:13.540 discussion

01:23:14.680 at all.

01:23:15.140 It's purely

01:23:15.560 numbers.

01:23:16.660 If they're

01:23:17.200 just more

01:23:17.740 of something

01:23:18.340 it's easier

01:23:21.300 to find

01:23:21.700 them.

01:23:22.020 That's it.

01:23:22.900 So in

01:23:23.160 the real

01:23:23.440 world you

01:23:24.260 end up

01:23:24.860 with a

01:23:25.700 situation

01:23:26.080 like I

01:23:26.820 think it

01:23:27.040 was a

01:23:27.360 muse

01:23:27.740 said that

01:23:29.040 he tried

01:23:29.440 to get

01:23:29.660 a job

01:23:30.000 and they

01:23:30.240 told him

01:23:30.580 over the

01:23:30.900 phone

01:23:31.180 now we're

01:23:31.960 not hiring

01:23:32.420 white

01:23:32.700 people.

01:23:34.700 We're not

01:23:35.520 hiring straight

01:23:36.140 white people

01:23:36.700 like directly.

01:23:38.960 Now do

01:23:39.320 you think

01:23:39.560 Mark Cuban

01:23:40.060 is aware

01:23:40.620 I think

01:23:41.600 I might have

01:23:42.840 sent him

01:23:43.240 that.

01:23:44.660 But do

01:23:45.220 you think

01:23:45.420 he's aware

01:23:45.840 that that's

01:23:46.280 the normal

01:23:47.000 situation?

01:23:49.160 Because I

01:23:49.800 think he

01:23:50.120 would think

01:23:50.420 it would

01:23:50.600 be unusual.

01:23:54.120 Now he

01:23:54.700 did make

01:23:55.100 one good

01:23:55.520 point.

01:23:56.580 One good

01:23:57.040 point is

01:23:57.460 that people

01:23:57.820 don't really

01:23:58.480 know who's

01:23:58.940 the best

01:23:59.300 employee most

01:23:59.960 of the time.

01:24:01.020 Most of the

01:24:01.680 time people

01:24:02.500 look kind

01:24:02.980 of similar.

01:24:04.040 If you pick

01:24:04.660 the top 10

01:24:05.260 applicants they

01:24:06.060 kind of look

01:24:06.660 about the

01:24:07.200 same.

01:24:07.880 So you

01:24:08.260 don't really

01:24:08.600 know if

01:24:09.100 the black

01:24:09.900 or the

01:24:10.160 white one

01:24:10.540 is going

01:24:10.820 to do

01:24:11.060 better.

01:24:11.900 So in

01:24:12.120 that case

01:24:12.580 you might

01:24:12.900 as well

01:24:13.260 increase

01:24:13.860 your diversity

01:24:14.480 because you

01:24:14.940 don't know

01:24:15.300 that you're

01:24:15.600 getting a

01:24:15.960 better or worse

01:24:16.480 employee.

01:24:17.040 It's unknowable.

01:24:18.020 So you might

01:24:18.320 as well get

01:24:18.680 the certain

01:24:19.440 benefit of

01:24:20.020 the diversity.

01:24:21.160 That's not a

01:24:21.940 terrible argument

01:24:22.560 but it's only

01:24:25.560 a conceptual

01:24:26.100 one.

01:24:27.220 In the real

01:24:27.820 world there

01:24:28.540 just aren't

01:24:29.040 enough people.

01:24:30.900 You can't

01:24:31.640 get fast

01:24:32.020 to math.

01:24:32.500 They just

01:24:33.500 don't exist

01:24:34.200 in proper

01:24:35.140 numbers.

01:24:36.320 So the

01:24:36.780 solution of

01:24:37.980 course is to

01:24:38.640 put all of

01:24:39.380 your work

01:24:40.320 oh my god

01:24:41.720 not again.

01:24:43.100 It happened

01:24:43.600 again.

01:24:45.940 Did I tell

01:24:46.780 all of you

01:24:47.280 that I was

01:24:47.600 having this

01:24:48.040 problem of

01:24:48.600 seeing the

01:24:48.980 word Mayo

01:24:49.660 all the

01:24:50.200 time?

01:24:51.160 It's a

01:24:51.520 reticular

01:24:51.920 activation

01:24:52.480 thing.

01:24:53.520 Like I

01:24:53.900 saw three

01:24:54.420 people whose

01:24:55.020 last name

01:24:55.540 were Mayo

01:24:56.100 in the Mayo

01:24:57.280 Clinic and

01:24:58.360 somebody just

01:24:59.000 sent a comment

01:25:00.340 about

01:25:00.720 Mayorkas. 0.86

01:25:02.260 Mayorkas 0.99

01:25:02.820 starts with

01:25:03.340 Mayo which

01:25:04.500 I never

01:25:04.820 noticed until

01:25:05.460 this very

01:25:05.900 moment.

01:25:08.000 I got a

01:25:08.980 message from

01:25:09.700 somebody who

01:25:10.720 was watching

01:25:11.100 the show

01:25:11.540 when I

01:25:11.960 mentioned

01:25:12.540 Mayo and

01:25:13.940 I challenged

01:25:14.480 people that

01:25:15.180 they will

01:25:15.720 see the

01:25:16.160 word Mayo

01:25:16.820 and I

01:25:18.400 guess she

01:25:18.700 saw it

01:25:19.060 three or

01:25:19.540 four times

01:25:20.020 that day.

01:25:21.740 It was

01:25:22.180 Mayo

01:25:22.640 everywhere.

01:25:23.540 Did

01:25:23.640 anybody

01:25:23.880 else have

01:25:24.240 that

01:25:24.400 experience?

01:25:25.480 After I

01:25:25.920 said you

01:25:26.180 were going

01:25:26.360 to see

01:25:26.600 Mayo a

01:25:27.220 lot,

01:25:27.560 did

01:25:27.640 anybody

01:25:27.860 see it

01:25:28.200 a lot

01:25:28.400 the next

01:25:28.760 day?

01:25:30.340 No?

01:25:32.700 Maybe?

01:25:34.200 All right.

01:25:34.600 Some of you

01:25:34.920 did.

01:25:36.340 Anyway,

01:25:38.400 oh, I

01:25:40.260 was going

01:25:40.480 to say

01:25:40.760 you get

01:25:41.360 what you

01:25:41.660 measure.

01:25:42.400 So this

01:25:42.720 is the

01:25:43.060 part that

01:25:43.620 I think

01:25:44.060 Mark

01:25:44.940 Cuban

01:25:45.460 is

01:25:47.520 forgetting

01:25:48.000 because

01:25:48.660 obviously

01:25:49.080 he knows

01:25:49.460 it.

01:25:50.220 If you're

01:25:50.940 an employee

01:25:51.740 at a big

01:25:52.140 company and

01:25:53.320 they say

01:25:53.660 there are

01:25:53.940 two things

01:25:54.380 I want

01:25:54.660 you to

01:25:54.920 accomplish.

01:25:56.280 Number

01:25:56.600 one is

01:25:57.160 improve

01:25:57.760 your diversity

01:25:58.480 and your

01:25:59.160 pay will

01:25:59.500 depend on

01:25:59.980 it.

01:26:00.340 But

01:26:00.820 number

01:26:01.060 two is

01:26:02.120 you also

01:26:02.420 have to

01:26:02.800 perform

01:26:03.220 well according

01:26:04.200 to all

01:26:04.560 your basic

01:26:05.260 standards of

01:26:05.980 performance.

01:26:07.240 Which one

01:26:07.900 are you

01:26:08.080 going to

01:26:08.300 do?

01:26:09.600 Which one

01:26:10.260 are you

01:26:10.440 going to

01:26:10.560 put all

01:26:10.960 of your

01:26:11.220 energy

01:26:11.520 into?

01:26:12.500 Well,

01:26:12.980 if it's

01:26:13.200 me,

01:26:14.300 I'm going

01:26:14.620 to put

01:26:14.820 all of

01:26:15.240 my energy

01:26:15.700 into

01:26:15.920 diversity.

01:26:16.660 Do you

01:26:16.820 know why?

01:26:18.100 Because

01:26:18.400 it's

01:26:18.580 measurable.

01:26:20.600 At the

01:26:21.200 end of

01:26:21.420 the year,

01:26:21.940 they're going

01:26:22.200 to look

01:26:22.440 at your

01:26:22.900 employees and

01:26:24.380 it's either

01:26:25.160 more diverse

01:26:25.980 or it's

01:26:26.500 not.

01:26:27.020 And you

01:26:28.440 can know

01:26:28.800 for sure

01:26:29.400 if you

01:26:30.340 succeeded

01:26:30.840 or failed

01:26:31.340 at that.

01:26:32.180 So people

01:26:32.740 will put

01:26:33.220 all of

01:26:33.680 their energy

01:26:34.180 into what

01:26:34.880 can be

01:26:35.280 measured

01:26:35.720 because the

01:26:36.960 other part,

01:26:37.640 how did you

01:26:38.040 do on your

01:26:38.460 projects?

01:26:39.500 You know what

01:26:39.840 you can do

01:26:40.240 with that?

01:26:41.300 Well, okay,

01:26:42.120 my projects

01:26:42.740 didn't work out

01:26:43.520 well,

01:26:44.540 but it's

01:26:44.920 definitely not

01:26:45.460 because of

01:26:45.920 anybody I

01:26:46.700 hired who

01:26:47.220 wasn't

01:26:47.600 qualified.

01:26:48.540 It's because

01:26:49.160 you didn't

01:26:49.700 give me

01:26:49.940 enough budget,

01:26:50.600 there was

01:26:51.040 a problem

01:26:52.220 with the

01:26:52.620 supply chain,

01:26:53.540 the vendor

01:26:54.020 lied to me,

01:26:55.320 and there

01:26:56.080 was a sort

01:26:56.620 of a macro

01:26:57.180 economic

01:26:57.780 problem,

01:26:58.720 and then

01:26:59.140 there was

01:26:59.460 the Red

01:27:00.200 Sea,

01:27:00.900 there was

01:27:01.100 the Houthis

01:27:02.200 blew up

01:27:02.560 the ship

01:27:03.000 that increased

01:27:03.560 our,

01:27:04.240 right?

01:27:05.240 So if

01:27:05.880 you're a

01:27:06.300 mid-level

01:27:06.740 manager

01:27:07.280 talking to

01:27:07.840 your boss

01:27:08.360 and the

01:27:09.480 boss says

01:27:10.000 two things

01:27:10.520 I want to

01:27:10.880 check with,

01:27:11.500 your performance

01:27:12.220 on your

01:27:12.580 projects and

01:27:13.800 your diversity,

01:27:15.100 you're going

01:27:15.900 to nail the

01:27:16.400 diversity

01:27:16.860 because you

01:27:18.560 can just

01:27:18.920 go down

01:27:19.400 lower and

01:27:19.940 lower in

01:27:20.300 the quality

01:27:20.800 of employees

01:27:21.540 because of

01:27:22.760 the math,

01:27:23.340 not because

01:27:23.860 of genetics,

01:27:25.180 not because

01:27:25.700 of anyone's

01:27:26.140 race,

01:27:26.580 just math

01:27:27.080 and supply,

01:27:29.000 you're going

01:27:30.280 to lower

01:27:30.660 the quality

01:27:31.320 of your

01:27:31.780 probable

01:27:32.440 output

01:27:32.920 to get

01:27:34.560 the most

01:27:35.260 measurable

01:27:35.700 goal,

01:27:36.200 which is

01:27:36.460 the diversity.

01:27:37.400 So in

01:27:37.620 the real

01:27:37.900 world,

01:27:38.940 you don't

01:27:39.960 get what

01:27:40.360 Mark Cuban

01:27:41.060 would like

01:27:41.640 to get,

01:27:42.500 which is

01:27:42.920 people saying,

01:27:43.640 yes,

01:27:43.840 I want

01:27:44.140 diversity,

01:27:45.180 but in

01:27:45.680 no way

01:27:46.120 am I going

01:27:46.560 to pick

01:27:46.820 the lesser

01:27:47.320 employee.

01:27:49.140 That's a

01:27:49.760 concept.

01:27:50.600 That's one

01:27:51.300 button on

01:27:51.760 the coffee

01:27:52.140 maker.

01:27:52.960 In the

01:27:53.200 real world,

01:27:53.860 you'll pick

01:27:54.340 the less

01:27:54.860 qualified

01:27:56.220 employee every

01:27:58.220 time.

01:28:01.140 Unless you're

01:28:02.080 the lucky

01:28:02.460 company that

01:28:03.200 got to the

01:28:04.440 small supply

01:28:05.620 of qualified

01:28:06.260 people that

01:28:07.540 you're trying

01:28:07.920 to add.

01:28:10.660 All right.

01:28:10.960 Elon Musk

01:28:14.500 summarized the

01:28:16.900 entire

01:28:17.160 conversation

01:28:17.780 with two

01:28:18.240 words,

01:28:19.680 and the

01:28:20.220 two words

01:28:20.700 are

01:28:21.020 moron

01:28:21.820 Cuban.

01:28:23.860 So I

01:28:25.600 guess I

01:28:25.960 could have

01:28:26.220 shortcutted

01:28:26.780 that.

01:28:27.280 But I

01:28:27.740 don't think

01:28:28.080 the problem

01:28:28.800 is IQ.

01:28:30.780 Obviously,

01:28:31.420 it's not

01:28:31.660 IQ.

01:28:32.540 I think

01:28:32.960 whatever

01:28:33.300 Mark Cuban

01:28:33.880 is chasing

01:28:34.520 is some

01:28:35.080 combination

01:28:35.680 of what

01:28:37.720 he would

01:28:38.080 like the

01:28:38.500 public to

01:28:39.120 see of

01:28:39.460 him, which

01:28:40.480 is perfectly

01:28:41.020 reasonable for

01:28:41.780 a public

01:28:42.200 figure, and

01:28:44.160 also probably

01:28:45.260 a blind

01:28:45.600 spot.

01:28:46.920 But maybe

01:28:47.660 we can help

01:28:48.160 him with

01:28:48.440 that.

01:28:50.820 All right.

01:28:52.200 Jonathan

01:28:52.720 Turley tells

01:28:54.220 us that

01:28:54.700 here's another

01:28:56.640 one of those

01:28:57.160 concept versus

01:28:58.060 practice.

01:28:59.660 So Penn

01:29:00.460 State, there

01:29:01.800 was a

01:29:02.320 professor who

01:29:03.960 was suing

01:29:04.400 because he

01:29:04.940 got put

01:29:05.280 into a

01:29:05.640 DEI

01:29:05.940 program.

01:29:07.420 He was a

01:29:07.940 white guy.

01:29:08.380 And here

01:29:09.520 are some

01:29:09.780 of the

01:29:09.920 things that

01:29:10.360 we learned.

01:29:10.920 This is

01:29:11.140 from

01:29:11.400 Turley's

01:29:12.060 reporting.

01:29:14.400 So the

01:29:14.840 judge, Judge

01:29:16.480 Bettelstone,

01:29:17.500 wrote this

01:29:17.980 in the

01:29:18.200 opinion.

01:29:19.200 Training on

01:29:19.840 concepts such

01:29:20.680 as white

01:29:21.160 privilege,

01:29:21.820 white fragility,

01:29:23.280 implicit bias,

01:29:24.280 or critical

01:29:24.820 race theory

01:29:25.380 can contribute

01:29:26.620 positively to

01:29:30.060 nuanced,

01:29:30.900 important

01:29:31.280 conversations

01:29:31.980 about how

01:29:33.000 to form a

01:29:33.460 healthy and

01:29:33.940 inclusive work

01:29:34.700 environment.

01:29:35.100 So that's

01:29:35.860 what I

01:29:36.140 said.

01:29:37.420 Diversity and

01:29:39.400 understanding the

01:29:40.400 whole area

01:29:41.380 can help.

01:29:43.820 It can have

01:29:44.240 some upside.

01:29:45.800 But, oh,

01:29:47.440 there's a but.

01:29:48.860 There's a but.

01:29:50.780 But the way

01:29:51.880 these conversations

01:29:52.620 are carried out

01:29:53.320 in the workplace

01:29:53.780 matters.

01:29:54.900 Oh, so in

01:29:56.240 reality, the

01:29:57.200 concept doesn't

01:29:58.000 work out so

01:29:58.640 well.

01:29:59.660 How did it

01:30:00.500 work out in

01:30:01.020 reality?

01:30:01.560 Let's check

01:30:03.540 reality, according

01:30:04.520 to this case.

01:30:07.300 But the way

01:30:08.040 these conversations

01:30:08.780 are carried out

01:30:09.360 in the workplace

01:30:09.780 matters.

01:30:10.260 When employers

01:30:10.740 talk about race,

01:30:12.060 any race, with

01:30:12.760 a constant drumbeat

01:30:14.160 of essentialist,

01:30:15.960 deterministic, and

01:30:17.280 negative language,

01:30:18.880 they risk liability

01:30:20.040 under federal law.

01:30:21.260 In other words,

01:30:21.920 discriminating against

01:30:22.860 white people, is

01:30:23.920 what she's trying

01:30:24.520 to say.

01:30:25.660 Or he's trying

01:30:26.760 to say, whoever

01:30:27.420 this is.

01:30:29.480 I don't know the

01:30:30.360 gender of the

01:30:30.840 judge.

01:30:31.540 Anyway, oh,

01:30:33.380 it's her.

01:30:34.680 In her denial

01:30:35.580 of the Penn

01:30:36.740 State motion, so

01:30:37.780 they were trying

01:30:38.100 to dismiss the

01:30:38.920 case, I guess.

01:30:42.900 They mentioned

01:30:43.720 how the DEI

01:30:44.440 director emailed

01:30:45.840 all employees,

01:30:47.560 quote, calling

01:30:48.400 on white people

01:30:49.280 to, quote,

01:30:50.080 feel terrible

01:30:51.100 about, quote,

01:30:52.480 their own

01:30:53.020 internalized white

01:30:54.080 supremacy, and

01:30:55.500 to, quote,

01:30:56.500 hold other white 0.96

01:30:57.360 people accountable.

01:30:58.720 She also noted

01:30:59.580 that the assistant

01:31:00.380 vice provost of

01:31:01.680 educational equity

01:31:02.760 led the

01:31:04.980 faculty in

01:31:07.020 an exercise to

01:31:08.080 hold their

01:31:08.640 breath, and

01:31:10.400 then they told

01:31:10.960 the white people

01:31:11.780 to hold their

01:31:12.500 breath longer

01:31:13.220 so that they

01:31:14.660 could feel the

01:31:15.420 pain.

01:31:19.700 They were

01:31:20.440 literally torturing

01:31:21.600 white men and

01:31:23.260 humiliating them in

01:31:24.420 front of other

01:31:25.180 people as part of

01:31:26.900 their DEI effort.

01:31:27.860 They were

01:31:28.920 literally humiliating

01:31:30.460 and making

01:31:31.520 physically

01:31:32.160 uncomfortable the

01:31:33.220 white guy, so

01:31:33.940 he sued them.

01:31:36.080 Now, what did

01:31:36.880 the judge say?

01:31:37.900 I'm going to

01:31:38.500 summarize the

01:31:39.140 judge.

01:31:40.440 Yeah, it would

01:31:40.840 be a great idea

01:31:41.680 to get a

01:31:42.140 coffee maker that

01:31:42.960 you can just

01:31:43.560 push one button

01:31:44.360 and get a

01:31:44.780 great cup of

01:31:45.400 coffee, but in

01:31:47.240 the real fucking

01:31:48.240 world, let me

01:31:49.880 tell you what's

01:31:50.440 going to happen

01:31:50.960 and what did

01:31:51.700 happen.

01:31:52.040 in the real

01:31:53.880 world, it just

01:31:55.180 went to shit.

01:31:57.180 All right, and

01:31:57.960 that, ladies and

01:31:58.520 gentlemen, is my

01:31:59.460 way-too-long

01:32:01.860 program of the

01:32:04.340 day.

01:32:06.440 Way-too-long.

01:32:07.720 So I'm going to

01:32:08.120 say goodbye on

01:32:08.900 the rumble and

01:32:10.300 YouTube and

01:32:11.180 X.

01:32:12.400 Glad you

01:32:13.040 joined.

01:32:14.060 By the way, my

01:32:14.840 rumble traffic

01:32:15.780 exceeds my

01:32:16.740 YouTube traffic

01:32:17.520 now.

01:32:19.320 Just hold that

01:32:20.140 in your head.

01:32:20.600 I've been doing

01:32:22.200 YouTube every

01:32:23.160 day for, what,

01:32:24.480 seven years or

01:32:25.300 something?

01:32:26.200 I just started

01:32:27.480 rumble, and

01:32:28.480 rumble traffic

01:32:29.340 most days is

01:32:31.220 way bigger than

01:32:33.160 YouTube.

01:32:33.820 Huh.

01:32:34.640 I wonder.

01:32:36.660 I wonder what

01:32:37.480 could be behind

01:32:38.700 that.

01:32:40.180 Huh.

01:32:41.720 It's exactly

01:32:42.740 what you think

01:32:43.340 it is.

01:32:45.720 In summary,

01:32:47.160 ladies and 0.98

01:32:47.660 gentlemen,

01:32:48.900 sometimes,

01:32:49.580 it's exactly

01:32:51.240 what you think

01:32:51.800 it is.

01:32:53.180 And thanks for

01:32:54.100 joining.
