This week, the world is flooded, the World Economic Forum is under water, and there's a lot of talk about coffee. Plus, a story about who's getting more money than Nikki Haley and why it's a good thing.
00:00:00.000Wow, if you were on the locals platform right now you would have heard a great, great story.
00:00:13.980But if you're not on the locals platform you can still have a great time because today,
00:00:19.960yeah, today is going to be amazing. Today all you need to take it up to the level
00:00:24.040that nobody can even understand. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:27.680a tanker gel, systeine, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite
00:00:33.000liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other
00:00:38.220day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now.
00:00:43.520Go. Oh, very good. Very good. Above average. I'd give it an A minus, possibly an A.
00:00:57.680And see how much better you feel. Let's talk about all the news. It'll be a combination of things
00:01:05.480that are real and stuff that's fake and things that I make up completely. You won't tell the
00:01:10.800difference, really. It's all going to sound the same. Well, San Diego has had more rain in, I guess,
00:01:17.200a day than they usually have in a month. And it's flooding. And it's flooding so badly in San Diego
00:01:23.520that SeaWorld is underwater. I'm not making that up. That's actually a real story. SeaWorld
00:01:31.940is underwater. Now, what happens if the whales swim away?
00:01:39.640Because the whales don't know the difference between the flood water and the water they're
00:01:48.060swimming around in, right? Can't they? If the water gets high enough, can't the whales just
00:01:52.100swim away? Can they free willy? Is willy free already? And is it just the whales? Or can all
00:02:01.040the smaller fish that are out in those tanks? Now I know that whales are not going to, they're not
00:02:08.620going to swim away. But it's funny to imagine, isn't it? Well, the World Economic Forum, I know a lot
00:02:16.840of you people are, you know, like, oh, the World Economic Forum is trying to, you know, destroy the
00:02:23.820world and take away our rights and put us in slavery. And, you know, I think it's a lot of
00:02:28.500hyperbole, don't you? A lot of hyperbole. I'm not worried about the World Economic Forum like
00:02:34.560all of you people are. No. No, I'm not worried about it at all. Let's see what's in the news.
00:02:43.340The World Economic Forum thinks that coffee, coffee is putting too much CO2 into the atmosphere.
00:02:51.060And maybe, maybe they're going to come for your coffee. Well, fuck those guys. Fuck them. Kill
00:02:58.040them. I want them all rounded up. Put in prison. WF must be stopped. They've gone too far. Too
00:03:06.360far. Yeah, I don't take this too seriously. Did I tell you that 2024 would be the year that
00:03:12.960everything sounds funny? Right? Do you remember when the World Economic Forum said,
00:03:19.300there's too much CO2 in the air? I'm trying to do a Swiss accent or Austrian or whatever the
00:03:26.960hell it is. The scientists have said there's too much CO2 in the air. And so you must drive
00:03:36.480your combustion engine less. Now, I have to admit that while I don't buy into that alarmism,
00:03:44.580it at least sounds a little science-y. A little science-y. Kind of serious. But then when they come
00:03:53.180for my coffee, I say, I don't feel like you're being serious anymore. Because you know what I'm not
00:03:59.480going to give up? My coffee. No coffee. You're not going to take my coffee. And my cold, dead hands,
00:04:08.480you can pry it. Anyway. If you're not watching the Dilbert comic strip, which means that you're
00:04:17.080not subscribing either on the X platform, where you can subscribe to see it every single day,
00:04:22.660as well as the Dilbert calendar in digital form, then you would not know that this week, Dilbert,
00:04:28.920his company is being asked to house migrants in their cubicles.
00:04:33.080That's not too much to ask. And it looks like they'll be housing three to five
00:04:39.960Albanian migrants per cubicle. The women in the office are not going to be happy about it,
00:04:47.000especially since in Albania, the national sport is rape. But Alice and Tina, the tech writer,
00:04:54.640are not going to be too happy about it. So that's what you're missing. If you're not on the locals
00:04:58.400platform, where you could subscribe, or on X, where you can see Dilbert as well. On the locals
00:05:05.280platform, you see also my other comic, Robots Read News, which is far naughtier than anything you've
00:05:11.600seen before. Well, the story about who's funding Nikki Haley gets more weird and interesting all the
00:05:20.780time. So apparently, she's definitely been getting money from these never Trump type people.
00:05:27.120Um, so let's see, who's giving her money? There's a, the, this is by Kyle Becker's reporting on this,
00:05:36.260the 1630 fund, it's managed by the Arabella Advisors. You got the Hopal Fund, also managed by the Arabella
00:05:44.320Advisors. And you got the Democracy Fund Voice founded by eBay co-founder Pierre Omadier,
00:05:52.960Omadier, I don't know how to pronounce his last name, and Reid Hoffman, famous billionaire founder
00:05:59.020of LinkedIn. And so both the last two billionaires are the biggest, probably the biggest two. I know
00:06:06.740Reid's probably the biggest number one funder of Democrat stuff. So you got Democrats and never
00:06:13.780Trumpers funding Nikki Haley. What do you think's going on there? I haven't quite put this together
00:06:21.020yet. Have you? Is it, is it exactly what it looks like? Because what it looks like is they're
00:06:28.780planning to take Trump out. I mean, that's what Vivek says. It's, it's what a lot of people say.
00:06:35.240But I can't think of any other reason for it. Can you? Or are they trying, is it a clever way to
00:06:43.560ruin Nikki Haley in case she gets in? As in, well, we could make sure we've destroyed the reputation
00:06:52.540of somebody if they're going to be Republican. Because could you imagine if Nikki Haley actually
00:06:57.880became president? She wouldn't have Republican support. And she's not going to have Democrat
00:07:04.780support. So what kind of support would she have? Well, what would be the point of having
00:07:11.200a Nikki Haley president who didn't have Democrat support and didn't have at least half of Republican
00:07:17.080support? And it would look like she got in because the Democrats wanted her. But what part of that
00:07:23.280would work in the real world? So it certainly argues against any kind of normal political plan,
00:07:31.660as in, I think I'll give money to the one I want to get elected. It doesn't feel like anything like
00:07:38.060that's happening. So if you're not donating to the person you want to get elected, what exactly are you
00:07:45.220doing? Now, the obvious thing would be, oh, they're just trying to hurt, hurt Trump. But really,
00:07:52.340I feel like they might know something's going to happen to Trump that we don't know.
00:08:01.860So yeah, I just worry that they know more than we know. But it certainly looks like they're going
00:08:07.260to try to put him in jail. And it certainly looks like if that doesn't work, there might be a plan B.
00:08:13.120There might be. Well, there's going to be, according to End Wokeness on X, there's going to be a couple of
00:08:21.300remakes of a couple of films. It's going to be a remake of The Wizard of Oz. And also, It's a Wonderful
00:08:27.800Life. So we'll have remakes of those. But they will be completely non-white perspectives. So it's going
00:08:36.500to be the all-black or people of color, LGBTQ Wizard of Oz, and It's a Wonderful Life. So what do you
00:08:45.200think about that? I'm totally okay with it. You know who I think should be the most angry about it?
00:08:55.300Black moviegoers. If I were a black moviegoer, I would say, well, why not make a movie that a black
00:09:06.080person wrote? Why can't we have our own movie? Like what? It feels like too little, doesn't it?
00:09:17.760You know, I think they could be good movies. Because the basic plots, of course, are awesome.
00:09:23.700So I would probably watch both of those remakes. I think they could be awesome. You know, and I
00:09:30.180don't mind, I think there's plenty of space for the black Wizard of Oz. You know, it's a big world.
00:09:35.700It's a free market. And I'd watch them. You know, as long as they're well-made, they've got good
00:09:40.480actors, you know, the story is good. But isn't it insulting? I mean, it feels like too little,
00:09:46.740doesn't it? Like if you're trying to make sure that the non-white professionals get their own
00:09:55.100thing, which is a perfectly good thing to want, I feel like they'd be better served by just having
00:10:01.920their own thing. You know, you can't tell me that there are no black writers writing good movies.
00:10:07.780You know, you have to go back that far to find a good script. I mean, I know it's a classic, but
00:10:12.880anyway, you know, maybe the intentions are good. All right. So as you know, humanoid robots are on the
00:10:24.180way. You do know that in a year, people like me will have an actual humanoid robot in our house,
00:10:33.040right? You know, it's that close. An actual humanoid AI robot in my house, probably by the end of the
00:10:44.640year, because I'd be an early adapter at ridiculous prices. There's no way I'm going to go a minute
00:10:52.380without a robot. Can we just say this? The minute there's a robot that's like an actual quality robot,
00:11:00.920I might wait for the Tesla robot, but I'm getting a robot. Is there anybody with me? You know, I realize
00:11:10.500it's purely a price link at this point, but if you can afford it, you get a robot, right? How do you
00:11:17.920not have a robot? Of course you're getting a robot. Well, I have a prediction for you. Apparently there'll
00:11:26.260be a number of companies making robots, including Tesla. Tesla will have its humanoid robot coming
00:11:32.280out pretty soon. I have a theory that this will be Elon Musk's biggest profit, the robots. By the
00:11:39.380way, he said that too. He thinks there'll be lots of robots and it might be a bigger profit than cars.
00:11:44.500I agree with him. But here's why I think the Tesla robot might be the most successful of the
00:11:50.780humanoid robots. I think it's the only one you're going to be able to have sex with.
00:12:01.700Seriously. No joke. He's going to make a fortune. Because my guess is that Elon will be the only one
00:12:12.200who has an uncensored robot that will do anything you want it to do in the privacy of your home.
00:12:17.540Now, you said to yourself, Scott, I'm not going to have intercourse with a robot. Well, maybe you
00:12:26.960won't, but somebody will. You know, I laughed myself into a cry last night when I was just walking
00:12:40.460through my house, you know, on the way from one room to another, and I suddenly had this thought.
00:12:44.960But if I had a robot, and I was really lonely, and I didn't have anybody around, and I'm 25
00:12:59.080instead of my current age, well, I wouldn't have intercourse with my robot because it wouldn't
00:13:06.860have any components, you know, and there's nothing to insert into. And of course, you know, I don't
00:13:16.740think it'll have a mouth, so. But if I'm 25, and I'm really, really horny, I'm going to put a wig
00:13:25.420on that thing and ask for a handjob. Now, you can tell me you would never do it. Fine. Fine. Let's go
00:13:35.680with that. You'd never think about it. You'd never do it when you were 25, and you didn't have any
00:13:40.800options. Oh, yeah, you would. You wouldn't say to yourself, I've got a robot. I've got a fleshlight.
00:13:48.420I've got a robot, and I've got a fleshlight. What to do? What to do? Oh, yeah. That robot will be
00:13:55.620holding the fleshlight. You can take a bet on that one. I know it doesn't seem like you would do it.
00:14:05.520I know not you. I don't mean you. But I was just laughing myself to death when I thought there was
00:14:11.920any chance we wouldn't be trying to have sex with the robots. Oh, we will be trying to have sex with the
00:14:17.820robots. Oh, yes. That will happen. There's no doubt about it. Maybe not you. I didn't say you.
00:14:26.980But people. People will. Speaking of people, well, it looks like BMW just signed up to
00:14:36.380have humanoid robots in its car-making facility in Germany, I guess. So, humanoid robots are on order
00:14:46.320for real factories, and they'll be just walking around like co-workers. All right, so a WEF advisor
00:14:54.440guy, but he's also a famous author named Yuval Harari, is getting some attention today. He goes,
00:15:02.460he says some things about human rights are fiction that it's just imaginary, that nobody has any human
00:15:12.520rights because they don't come from anybody. It's just fiction. It's just something we tell ourselves
00:15:17.780we have rights. And I saw a lot of people on the internet say, my God, my God, what could be worse?
00:15:26.420How many of you disagree with that statement? I thought it was obvious that rights are imaginary.
00:15:33.460You don't think they are? All right, let's say yes or no. Are human rights a fiction, meaning that we
00:15:42.940simply agree that we have the rights? I'm saying yeses. I'm saying noes. Some say God-given.
00:15:53.620So, all right, so let's say, let's take the God-given perspective. And I think that's the,
00:15:58.280the major pushback is God-given, wouldn't you say? Because there's not really a third alternative
00:16:05.360where they are just sort of natural nature or something like that. That doesn't make sense.
00:16:12.180All right, but let's say you agree they're God-given. What happens if somebody has a different God
00:16:17.300or a different belief system? Do you, does your God-given rights require that you have the right
00:16:26.300view of God and what God wants? And if other people disagree with you, that they have the wrong God?
00:16:34.700So do human rights depend on having picked the right God? See, that's the problem. If it's God-given,
00:16:43.500you have to also sort of press upon your fellow citizens that your God is the right one,
00:16:49.900and then we get in trouble. Yeah. I was surprised, I was surprised that this was controversial
00:16:57.060because I thought everybody knew that religion was based on belief, not about fact.
00:17:09.320Now, how do you, I have, I have a question that I'm actually curious about
00:17:13.560because I have an impression that I don't know if it's true or not. So I'm not a believer,
00:17:20.720but I wish I were because I observed that it has many benefits in this life. And if you're right
00:17:26.920about the afterlife, well, that's a pretty big benefit too. So I don't, I'm not a believer,
00:17:33.300but I think it's a superior way to live if I could get there. You know, if I had the ability to be a
00:17:39.700believer, I would be, because it looks like they're happier and more successful. But
00:17:46.280how do you reconcile that faith is belief by definition with the fact that in the case of
00:17:58.360rights, you treat it like a fact? So it's either a belief or a fact. How do you, how do you integrate
00:18:06.080that faith as a belief by definition, but that sometimes you'll treat it like a fact
00:18:12.660if you're, let's say, deciding who has rights and stuff?
00:18:18.700I just, I just don't know how you do it. I'm not arguing one way or another. I'm not,
00:18:22.540I'm not giving you an opinion. I just wondered how you do it.
00:18:29.240So do you, is the way you do it, you say to yourself, it's a belief, but it's also true?
00:18:36.080Is that how you reconcile that? It's a belief, but it's also true. All right. Yeah, I guess
00:18:44.320that's what a belief is. All right. That was just for my own benefit, because I don't know how you do
00:18:48.660that. All right. So Supreme Court ruled against Texas, as you know, Texas wanted to protect its
00:18:54.520own border from the migrants. And the Supreme Court said, no, the federal government controls
00:19:00.360your border. You can't protect yourself. And they're going to take down your barbed wire and let
00:19:04.620the migrants flow in. Do you know what's wrong with that?
00:19:11.600Everything? I think everything's wrong with that.
00:19:15.100All right. So I've got two opinions. Number one, my legal opinion. And I know you want to hear my
00:19:22.400legal opinion, because what would be more valuable than a non-lawyer's legal opinion? Well, the internet's
00:19:29.620full of them, so why not mine? My guess, without knowing anything about the topic too much,
00:19:35.660my guess is that the justices may have correctly read the law and the Constitution. So I'm not sure
00:19:44.460that they got the wrong answer. It just doesn't work. That's my take. I'm not sure they got the wrong
00:19:52.580answer. And I'm not sure you want a Supreme Court who makes shit up. Right? I mean, the whole point of
00:19:59.520getting these conservative judges is that they're not going to add something to the Constitution that
00:20:04.260isn't there. Now, the fact that they disagreed makes it kind of questionable. How can you disagree
00:20:12.580about what's there? It'd be one thing to interpret it differently, but it's weird that the conservatives
00:20:20.420would ever disagree, because they should just be looking at it and say, well, it's either there
00:20:24.740or it's not, and it's either clear or it's not. But they did disagree, and Amy Coney Barrett,
00:20:32.100allegedly a conservative, voted that the Feds can dismantle the state's self-defense.
00:20:39.600Now, of course, this raises the question of sexism. Yes, because people say, wait a minute,
00:20:49.940all we needed was that one female conservative to go with the other conservatives, and suddenly it
00:20:55.220would be the other way. But why is it that the female conservative is the one who wants to keep
00:21:02.120the border open? And now it gets interesting. You're saying to yourself, it's based on blackmail.
00:21:07.740It's bribery. It's bribery. I'll bet it's not. I doubt that. I kind of doubt it.
00:21:17.620I think it's probably as simple as she thought the law said something the others didn't.
00:21:26.520But there is another really interesting layer to this, which I've mentioned before,
00:21:32.120and I got away with it, so I'm going to do it again. And apparently Jordan Peterson has
00:21:40.280weighed in on this. I didn't see this from him, but somebody talking about him, so I hope
00:21:44.360I got it right. Jordan Peterson talks about something like the return of the repressed,
00:21:51.540something about that, that the idea is that women may be more open to immigration because
00:21:59.460the men coming across are more manly than the ones here. In other words, that women are operating on
00:22:07.640a mating instinct to increase the number of manly men because there aren't any in America. So they might
00:22:16.180argue that it's, you know, something about fairness and asylum and stuff like that, but that the real
00:22:23.380base mating instinct is simply that the men coming across are more men than the ones that are here.
00:22:32.500Yeah, are you going to disagree with Dr. Peterson?
00:22:37.020Has that ever been a good strategy? Of all the times that people disagreed with the
00:22:43.220scientific speculations of Jordan Peterson, did that work out really well for people in the past?
00:22:50.060Yes. Here's what I think. I'll put my own take on it. Everything is an expression of the mating
00:22:59.500instinct. Everything. Everything. Everything humans do is an extension of the mating instinct.
00:23:08.220Even if you don't know it, everything is, right? The clothes you wear, the fact that I've got a big
00:23:15.840dick in my face that looks like a microphone, none of these decisions were conscious, but we are simply
00:23:22.720mating creatures. Mating is the thing we have to get right. Everything else is subsidiary to can you make
00:23:30.480more of yourself because that's survival. And in theory, we optimized for survival. So why would immigration
00:23:39.680policy be the one thing be the one thing in the world that's exempt from the mating instinct? And the answer is,
00:23:46.560it absolutely is not. In fact, it might be the purest example of the mating instinct being expressed.
00:23:54.080Now, of course, because there are some dumb people, are there any dumb people here today? Usually, we've got a few that get in here.
00:24:00.440Are there any dumb people? Should I speak to the dumb people for a moment? Would the smart people mind if I just take a moment for the dumb
00:24:06.480people? Yeah. Whenever I make generalizations, it really doesn't mean every single person.
00:24:15.280So if I say that women in general might have a different view than men in general, that doesn't
00:24:21.360mean you. It doesn't mean people you know. It means sort of on a general, general way, sort of an average.
00:24:29.920So if you say to yourself, but Scott, I know a guy who doesn't think exactly like that example.
00:24:36.720That's not contributing to the conversation because we're starting from the point of it's not applying
00:24:43.120to everyone. All right. Now, we can go back to talking to the smart people. Are the dumb people satisfied?
00:24:50.720Well, whether you like to jump into the comments and you're allowed, I'll give you permission.
00:24:55.920If you're a dumb person and you're trying to keep up, you can say in the comments, Scott,
00:25:01.120that's crazy because I know somebody who's the exception. And that will be really helping.
00:25:07.280So go ahead and do that. Do you know why you would do that? Do you know why you would try to get
00:25:13.360attention when your opinion is so bad? Because getting attention is part of the mating instinct.
00:25:20.720That's right. So you can't help it. And that's my point. All right. Here's my take. Everything's
00:25:26.560the mating instinct. Immigration is the purest example. Why do men in general want to stop
00:25:31.920immigration? Because we don't want the competition. Because we want to have the babes in the United
00:25:38.240States for ourselves. If you show me a border with hot women coming across, I say to yourself,
00:25:44.800I say to you, you know, maybe we're being a little tough on this whole migration situation,
00:25:49.120aren't we? You know, they look like they need asylum, especially the hot one. Do you see the hot one
00:25:54.640coming swimming across with a wet t-shirt? I think that one needs some, that's a woman who needs some
00:26:00.400asylum. She could stay in my house. Now you show me military age men who are coming over to rape my
00:26:11.360women. What do I say? Shut that fucking border. Are you fucking crazy? This is insane. What are you
00:26:19.760doing? And I will give you political reasons. And I'll give you economic reasons. Then I'll give you
00:26:27.280safety reasons. And I'm lying. It's all a lie. I'm watching a bunch of men come over who are
00:26:35.600going to fuck the women that I want to fuck. That's the whole story. And I'm watching women
00:26:41.360like Amy Coney Barrett, who's got that little clit hard on for the men coming over. She has justified
00:26:47.120it based on the Constitution and has no idea that she just fucked the whole country for her vagina.
00:26:53.120That's what I think. That's what it looks like to me. Now, you might say, but no, it's really about
00:27:02.640the law. And I say, but no, if you think anything's about the law ever, you're really not operating at a
00:27:09.760very high level. You want to know what the levels of awareness are? Let me give you the levels of
00:27:17.360awareness. Level of awareness number one. You're a child and you learn for the first time
00:27:23.280that your parents lied about Santa Claus. And then you say to yourself, huh, I think people can
00:27:30.880sometimes lie. That's level one. Actually, level one is you believe everything, you know, when you're a
00:27:37.680child. Then you learn, wait a minute, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus? Wait a minute. And you realize that
00:27:44.640sometimes they can lie, Easter Bunny, et cetera. That's going from zero to maybe one first level
00:27:51.120of awareness. Then at some point you realize that they lie not just about silly stuff, not just about
00:28:00.000Santa Claus, but they actually lie about really important things. And then you go to the next level
00:28:06.240of awareness. And then you find out, holy cow, a whole bunch of our news stories are fake.
00:28:14.800Oh my God, I didn't know this when I was, I thought the news was mostly real. And then you find out
00:28:20.320that there are a whole bunch of stories that are shaded and even the facts are hidden and the context
00:28:27.120has changed. And you realize that a whole lot of the news is fake. And then you realize it gets worse.
00:28:34.260A lot of the data, the science, you know, and the data that we see is fake.
00:28:41.560Is that where you are? How many of you are you at that level where you know that when you see science
00:28:48.640and you see news, you should not assume it's true? Because it might be true and it might not be true.
00:28:54.180That's where most of you are? All right. Here's where I'm trying to get you. I'm trying to get you to the
00:29:01.180layer above that. I'm trying to take you up a level. At the level above it, you'll know none of
00:29:09.060it's true. It can't be. You'll know none of it's true and that it can't be true. That's where you
00:29:20.720need to get. None of it's true and it can't be. How do I know that? I used to be in the business of
00:29:28.040creating data that other people would have to use to make decisions. Was it ever real? Nope.
00:29:34.780It was my job to support the decisions that had already been made
00:29:38.820or to support guessing by making it look like the guess had some basis to it or to, you know, make the
00:29:47.740department look good or that sort of thing. No, all information is fake because it's all motivated.
00:29:53.980Whoever is coming up with the information has a story to tell. That's it. Once you learn
00:29:59.540it's all fake, you go to a different level. So if you're still believing some of the news
00:30:06.300is true, good luck. Good luck. By the way, I always see the Jewish conspiracy people come
00:30:15.580in every morning. I've got a question for you. If you think there's a global Jewish conspiracy,
00:30:24.220and I'll just ask you this question. Would you agree that there is such a thing as liberal
00:30:31.780Jewish people and conservative Jewish people? Of course. Of course, you know that. So they all got
00:30:39.920together. So all the liberal Jews and the conservative Jews, they all got together.
00:30:45.480And it's all part of a big conspiracy. Is that what you think? And why is it that this alleged
00:30:52.160conspiracy for, I don't know, hundreds of years, that there's never been a whistleblower?
00:30:58.820Never a whistleblower. Not one. There wasn't a liberal who didn't like what the conservatives
00:31:04.100were doing or a conservative who didn't like what the liberals were doing, like everywhere in the rest
00:31:08.540of the world all the time, forever. Not a single person said, you know what? I was in the meeting
00:31:14.260where we planned to do whatever it is you think is being done. No whistleblowers. Really. Not a single
00:31:21.660whistleblower. And yet there are whistleblowers for everything else. All right. That's just for you
00:31:28.780to think about. All right. So yes, I think the question on the border is largely sexual. I also think
00:31:36.360that BLM was largely a mating event. The Black Lives Matter stuff. I think that female approval of
00:31:48.640Black Lives Matter was probably a mating instinct sort of a thing. All right. And again, doesn't mean
00:31:58.700every person. Doesn't mean you. Right. That's just for the dumb people. All right. Cenk Uyger, who's running
00:32:06.960for president without knowing he's a naturalized citizen, so he can't run for president. But I think
00:32:11.880I love it anyway. I have a kind of weird appreciation for Cenk, because I think his heart is in the right
00:32:22.720place. I think so. I mean, you never know. But he looks like he actually wants things to be better.
00:32:29.900So the fact that he has a different idea of how to get there, I'm much more forgiving on that,
00:32:36.340because I don't think his intentions are in the wrong place. Right. Yeah, we could disagree on what
00:32:41.980makes sense. But and I'm seeing your comments. So I understand that you have a different view of it.
00:32:47.600But, you know, sometimes it's sometimes it's kind of a question of, do you think you're good at
00:32:54.780judging character? You know, we all think we are. I judge that his character is good. And so,
00:33:02.360therefore, his intentions are good. But I could be wrong. I could be wrong about anybody. But here's
00:33:08.120what he said and how I disagreed. He was talking about the Gaza situation in the West Bank. And he says,
00:33:15.700the occupation, as he calls it, is morally wrong and completely indefensible. Saying the Palestinians
00:33:21.460cannot be trusted to govern themselves is deeply racist. Would you agree that it's racist to say
00:33:30.980that the Palestinians can't be trusted to govern themselves, which I think the better way to say
00:33:36.780that is Israel doesn't trust that they would be safe if it happened? Is it racist?
00:33:42.520What do you think? Well, I would say it would be racist if they were expelling from their country,
00:33:52.060the people who are also Palestinian and look like them and prayed like them and had the same genes.
00:33:59.520So clearly, there are plenty of people living in peace in Israel. So if it were a race,
00:34:06.300that would not be the case. So clearly, it's a security problem. And the way that they're dealing
00:34:12.640with a security problem is they don't know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys. They
00:34:16.800can't tell the difference. So but what if it was? What if it was racist? Because you could make the
00:34:26.940argument. I think it's primarily just risk assessment and politics. And what they want is mostly the
00:34:34.380people who don't, you know, the people who want to kill them, they'd like to have less contact with
00:34:40.180them. Seems normal. So here's what I said. I haven't been double canceled yet. So we'll see how this goes.
00:34:47.660I posted back to that and I said that racism is morally and ethically acceptable for self-defense.
00:34:55.060Let me say it again, because you might think you've misheard it.
00:34:57.700Racism is morally and ethically acceptable for self-defense, because the standard for self-defense
00:35:05.260is whatever you think you need to do. That's it. It's whatever you think you need to do.
