Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2371 CWSA 02⧸01⧸24

00:00:00.000 Bom-bom-bom-bom, ra-pa-pa-pa, la-pa-pa. 0.96

00:00:06.140 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.720 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.580 Would you like to take this up to a level that nobody can even understand?

00:00:16.940 Well, to do that, all you need is a cuppa, a mug, or a glass, a tank, or a chalice, a

00:00:21.360 stye, and a canteen jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:24.400 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:26.240 I like coffee.

00:00:26.920 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing

00:00:33.040 that makes everything better.

00:00:34.460 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's happening now.

00:00:38.120 Go.

00:00:42.660 Oh, extra good.

00:00:46.820 One of the best.

00:00:49.020 Well, happy Black History Month. 0.96

00:00:51.080 I hope you're enjoying your coffee, Black, in honor of the month. 0.98

00:00:56.920 Let's see how Oakland is celebrating Black History Month.

00:01:00.780 They're shuttering the only Denny's in Oakland.

00:01:05.160 Okay, that's probably a coincidence, but there's no more Denny's in Oakland.

00:01:10.840 Now, the thing I'm most worried about is that this is not the first food-related place that

00:01:16.220 was closed in Oakland.

00:01:17.280 And I live a short drive from Oakland.

00:01:24.240 So what happens when all of their food sources are closed because of crime?

00:01:31.240 And I'm just a few minutes away by car, stolen car, and I'm completely made of meat.

00:01:39.280 I don't like where this is heading.

00:01:43.320 I do predict massive cannibalism in the areas surrounding Oakland within the next six months.

00:01:51.860 So better fight for your life.

00:01:55.940 Well, California is having a ballot initiative.

00:02:00.100 A ballot initiative is what we do because our government doesn't work.

00:02:03.460 So sometimes the voters will say, well, how about the government?

00:02:07.660 We'll just do it ourselves and we'll make our own law.

00:02:11.180 It's called a budget.

00:02:12.500 No, it's called a ballot initiative.

00:02:16.620 And so California is doing a ballot initiative to make it illegal to do crime.

00:02:21.320 Okay, I might be paraphrasing it a little bit too much, but they want to strengthen the penalties

00:02:28.480 for serial theft and fentanyl-related crimes.

00:02:32.600 Yeah, you know, the very things that are destroying the city.

00:02:36.660 Well, all the cities.

00:02:38.620 And so the California citizens want to have a little more penalty for crime.

00:02:45.600 So it's possible that I will be able to survive living in California.

00:02:51.520 I'll tell you, it was tough yesterday.

00:02:54.280 So yesterday, the news said there was going to be this big Pineapple Express, you know, storm of storms.

00:03:02.260 And so I'm not going to show this to you closely, but it turns out that there was a force field around my town

00:03:10.300 that prevented any heavy rain or weather.

00:03:15.240 For some reason, you know, the entire, you know, county after county was just, you know, deluged.

00:03:21.600 But there's this little island right there where I am.

00:03:25.380 Eh, it's sprinkled a little bit.

00:03:27.220 No big deal.

00:03:28.560 Kind of a disappointment.

00:03:30.380 All right.

00:03:32.660 The New York Post is reporting that there's a Connecticut...

00:03:38.240 No, there's a...

00:03:39.240 Where is it?

00:03:40.300 There was a high school in somewhere in New York that they have state-designated tampon dispensers in the boys' rooms.

00:03:49.980 So in the boys' bathroom, they had a state-mandated tampon dispenser that lasted 20 minutes

00:03:56.340 until one of the boys or more of them ripped it off the wall.

00:04:01.840 They just ripped it off the wall.

00:04:04.120 Now, does anybody have sons?

00:04:06.760 Do any of you have young sons?

00:04:08.820 You know, let's say under 18?

00:04:12.360 There's no such thing as a young boy who's woke, is there? 0.85

00:04:16.600 There's basically...

00:04:17.720 I suppose if you're LGBTQ, maybe.

00:04:19.980 But I don't think there are many woke boys.

00:04:24.460 There might be some woke girls. 1.00

00:04:27.480 I don't know.

00:04:28.060 But there aren't any woke boys.

00:04:30.560 That's just not even a thing.

00:04:34.320 We'll see if they get tamed later when they need to earn a living and live in the real world.

00:04:41.520 They'll get trained.

00:04:43.780 They'll get trained to obey, unfortunately.

00:04:46.300 Dave Rubin was interviewing Dr. Drew, and Dr. Drew said something that I completely agree with, but it's just shocking to hear it, you know, coming out of anybody else's mouth, but especially a doctor.

00:05:00.480 And he said, quote, I realize that everything in the news is BS, everything.

00:05:05.100 There is nothing I can consume on legacy media that I can trust, and that is shocking.

00:05:11.420 It makes you wonder how long it's been going on.

00:05:14.340 I didn't realize how much speech was being...

00:05:17.100 That's kind of where I'm at.

00:05:20.580 But I do agree that 100% of the news is motivated.

00:05:28.300 It's more like marketing, isn't it?

00:05:31.160 See, if you really think about it, the news is almost entirely marketing, because almost nothing makes it on the news unless somebody has a way to make money from it, directly or indirectly.

00:05:41.840 You know, even if it's just purely political, if your party wins because of that political point, well, then you get to be in power, and maybe you make more money.

00:05:53.260 So pretty much all of the news is some kind of marketing for something else.

00:05:59.840 To imagine that its purpose is to inform you and make you a better citizen, I don't know if it ever was that.

00:06:06.680 I guess that was probably an illusion at some point.

00:06:09.440 Well, my theme for today is that all of our data is bad.

00:06:16.140 Let's see if I can make that theme come true.

00:06:18.840 All of our data and everything in the news is bad.

00:06:24.420 So there's a survey that found that humans prefer AI-generated copy.

00:06:30.820 So I did a survey and found that a bunch of people preferred reading what the computer wrote over what humans wrote.

00:06:39.440 Does that sound like good data and something useful and told you something you should know?

00:06:45.740 Well, here's the part left out.

00:06:48.860 A little bit of context.

00:06:51.300 98% of all people who write, human beings, that is, don't know how to write.

00:06:57.000 There are very few people who actually know how to write.

00:07:01.320 So if the computer does a better job than 98% of humans, that's just starting out.

00:07:15.220 It's beating the other 2% that's the hard part.

00:07:18.960 You know what else?

00:07:20.460 Let's see.

00:07:21.140 I'm 66 years old.

00:07:23.740 I could beat about 90% of all living human beings in basketball.

00:07:32.340 Probably.

00:07:33.520 I'll bet I could beat 98% of all living human beings in basketball.

00:07:39.260 Because they don't play.

00:07:41.580 It's just not their game.

00:07:42.780 If you've never played, you know, I could probably hit a shot better than you.

00:07:49.220 So I'm not too worried about the computer doing better than professional writers yet.

00:07:55.220 It could get there.

00:07:56.600 But I don't think the current technology can do it.

00:08:00.380 All right.

00:08:01.260 Let's talk about Fonnie Willis.

00:08:04.760 So Fonnie is the one.

00:08:06.940 I'm getting all the bad behaviors mixed up.

00:08:09.340 She's only one of the people in the news, but it's not complete.

00:08:15.220 She's just one of the people who took money from some source and gave it to her boyfriend. 0.96

00:08:22.400 Because there's at least two or three of those stories going on right now.

00:08:26.920 Because everything's broken and corrupt.

00:08:29.520 All right.

00:08:29.780 Yeah.

00:08:29.940 So Cori Bush and Fonnie are both having some issues about some money that they gave to her boyfriends. 0.99

00:08:38.200 One from a campaign and one from public money.

00:08:40.880 Fonnie's from the public money.

00:08:42.920 Taking it from the campaign, that's a different situation, I would say.

00:08:48.380 Anyway.

00:08:48.900 Now the Free Beacon has some audio of a whistleblower who is complaining to Fonnie Willis about her top aide misusing federal funds.

00:09:00.760 And so what did Fonnie do when the whistleblower said that her top aide was misusing federal funds?

00:09:06.920 If you guessed she fired the whistleblower, you're right.

00:09:11.540 She fired the whistleblower. 0.99

00:09:13.100 Those of you who subscribe to the Dilbert Reborn comic will find out that Dilbert's CEO has just hired a high-priced consultant that is probably his girlfriend.

00:09:29.440 So if you want to see how fast Dilbert can turn the news into a comic, well, a lot faster than it used to be.

00:09:36.580 Because I don't have any syndication company to get in the middle.

00:09:39.740 So if you subscribe to it either on the X platform or the Locals platform, you already saw it.

00:09:49.220 So what do you think about this story about Fonnie Willis firing a whistleblower and maybe allegedly giving money to her boyfriend to prosecute Trump?

00:10:02.320 Well, you know what I say about that?

00:10:04.440 It all sounds a little Fonnie to me.

00:10:07.020 Fonnie.

00:10:07.980 I told you all the news is Fonnie.

00:10:10.480 This is the funniest story I've ever had in a while.

00:10:13.560 It's very funny.

00:10:15.860 All right.

00:10:16.660 Moving on.

00:10:18.560 Have you seen some stories that suggest that dementia can be transmitted to another person?

00:10:25.060 Alzheimer, I think, and dementia.

00:10:27.520 Has anybody seen that science?

00:10:30.040 I'm not sure I believe it yet because I don't believe anything that's in the news.

00:10:34.080 But there is some suggestion that you can, in some special cases, dementia can be transmitted.

00:10:42.020 I don't know how that's possible, but maybe.

00:10:44.720 And then, of course, you've heard the old thing about you are the average of the five people you spend time with.

00:10:52.600 Have you heard of that?

00:10:53.480 I forget who said it first.

00:10:55.140 You are the average of your five closest friends or something.

00:10:59.060 And I was thinking, maybe we have a reason to understand why Corrine Jean-Pierre can't speak.

00:11:10.640 Because the people she spends the most time with would be President Biden and Vice President Harris.

00:11:18.380 And I'm telling you, if dementia can be caught, she's probably got a good dose of it.

00:11:24.500 Because here's what she said today, and I quote Corrine Jean-Pierre.

00:11:30.340 Look, what we want to make sure and what FAA wants to make sure,

00:11:38.020 and it is their priority that we make the safety, obviously,

00:11:44.440 the safety of Americans as they fly across the country, obviously, and beyond, is safe.

00:11:51.240 End quote.

00:11:57.560 You know, but what I think is that, sure, Americans might be able to fly safely,

00:12:05.120 but are they unburdened by what has gone before?

00:12:09.280 And is there a Venn diagram that could explain this better?

00:12:13.300 Yeah, I just feel sorry for Corrine.

00:12:16.380 She has to be around people who are going to give her dementia.

00:12:18.360 Well, here's some more fake news.

00:12:22.980 The Hill is reporting a new survey that if former President Trump is convicted on any of the serious counts,

00:12:32.740 not counting the, what do you call it, the civil suit, that's different.

00:12:38.660 But if he gets convicted on any of the criminal ones that are brewing,

00:12:44.380 according to the Hill, his popularity or his poll results will plunge compared to Biden.

00:12:53.380 So does that sound like a legitimate survey?

00:12:58.580 So they found out that if he's convicted, people would be less likely to vote for him.

00:13:05.320 Does that sound like something that they can determine with a poll?

00:13:10.540 Okay.

00:13:11.680 Let me tell you how to rig a poll.

00:13:14.020 Now, I'm not saying this poll is rigged.

00:13:17.000 I'm going to tell you how it's done,

00:13:18.960 and then you can look for it in this poll and any others.

00:13:22.600 This is how it's done.

00:13:24.000 It's how you ask the question.

00:13:25.340 Consider these two questions to get to the point, to get to the same place.

00:13:31.100 You're trying to find out what will happen if Trump is convicted of a crime,

00:13:35.040 and then how will people vote?

00:13:37.260 Two ways to ask the question.

00:13:39.240 Number one, would you vote for a criminal for president?

00:13:45.280 Would you vote for a convicted criminal?

00:13:48.880 Do you know what's wrong with that question?

00:13:50.520 The question makes somebody make a statement about who they are.

00:13:55.440 It's really a question about the voter.

00:13:57.960 Are you a person who would support a criminal?

00:14:00.640 No.

00:14:03.180 If a live person is asking me, like a real living person,

00:14:06.940 would you vote for a criminal for president?

00:14:10.080 No. 1.00

00:14:11.040 Are you crazy? 1.00

00:14:12.460 Who's going to vote for a criminal for president? 1.00

00:14:14.500 Now, here's another way to ask the same question.

00:14:19.940 Suppose you said,

00:14:21.920 do you prefer Biden or Trump for president

00:14:25.380 if Trump had been guilty of one rigged conviction

00:14:32.940 in our weaponized justice system?

00:14:35.620 Do you prefer Biden or Trump if Trump is convicted

00:14:40.140 by the weaponized justice system

00:14:43.360 that Biden is using to keep Trump out of office?

00:14:47.400 Do you think you get the same answer

00:14:48.940 as would you support a criminal for president?

00:14:52.740 Now, I don't think that the survey they're mentioning

00:14:55.220 asks the question either of those ways.

00:14:58.760 But they're both valid.

00:15:01.080 They're both ways to get to that question.

00:15:03.600 So the specific way they ask the question

00:15:06.360 but also the specific time they asked it

00:15:09.320 is going to get you whatever answer you want

00:15:11.040 based on how you word it.

00:15:14.040 But the other thing that Democrats consistently get wrong,

00:15:18.020 and a lot of other people too,

00:15:19.700 is they conflate the present with the past and the future.

00:15:25.660 In the present, if you're just thinking about Trump alone,

00:15:30.100 do you like him better if he's not convicted or convicted?

00:15:34.460 People will say, well, you know, given the choice,

00:15:37.100 I'd rather a not convicted person.

00:15:39.420 But if you said, all right, the conviction's over,

00:15:43.300 he's not in jail, but the conviction's over,

00:15:46.100 and now it's down to Biden versus Trump,

00:15:48.400 and you have to vote.

00:15:50.120 Well, now it's a different question, isn't it?

00:15:52.420 It's not about are you an awesome person

00:15:54.980 who would never vote for a criminal,

00:15:56.880 or are you going to let Biden have four more years of this,

00:16:00.540 open borders and God knows what?

00:16:02.460 So once it gets down to, all right,

00:16:05.080 are you really going to vote for Biden?

00:16:06.900 A lot of people who cared about criminal conviction

00:16:10.220 are going to say, you know what?

00:16:11.960 It was probably just a weaponized justice system. 0.99

00:16:14.120 I'll ignore that.

00:16:16.400 All right, there's more,

00:16:18.400 there's information that coffee helps you lose weight.

00:16:22.600 Now, if there's one thing I can teach you

00:16:26.860 about interpreting science,

00:16:28.940 and this is important,

00:16:30.300 so if you don't listen to this tip,

00:16:33.340 you will be poorly served in the future.

00:16:36.060 If you see a scientific study

00:16:37.940 that agrees with what you would like it to be,

00:16:41.840 that's called valid science.

00:16:45.480 Valid science.

00:16:46.840 Proof, really.

00:16:48.140 I'd call it a fact.

00:16:49.940 So when there's a study from people I don't know

00:16:52.240 who use a system I don't know

00:16:53.680 for a process I don't know,

00:16:55.380 in a study that probably has no more than a 50% chance

00:16:58.340 of being reproduced,

00:16:59.580 when they tell me that coffee helps me lose weight

00:17:01.660 and it's good for me,

00:17:02.480 I say, that's science.

00:17:05.440 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:17:06.560 that's what I call quality science.

00:17:08.440 Right there.

00:17:11.240 Let's talk about Zuckerberg

00:17:12.440 and some of the other social media people,

00:17:15.360 they had to appear in Congress

00:17:16.640 to defend the horrible things

00:17:19.080 that their platforms are doing to children,

00:17:21.540 which they are.

00:17:24.300 And Josh Hawley

00:17:26.240 tried to embarrass Mark Zuckerberg

00:17:28.980 by asking him to get up

00:17:30.140 and apologize to the family members

00:17:33.080 of people whose children

00:17:35.320 apparently had been victimized

00:17:37.520 because of Facebook or Meta

00:17:39.940 or Instagram.

00:17:42.120 And he did.

00:17:44.700 To his credit,

00:17:47.080 Zuckerberg immediately stood up

00:17:49.120 with no objection,

00:17:51.060 faced the family members

00:17:53.540 of the tragic children who were lost

00:17:56.360 and said that he was sorry

00:18:00.120 for their losses.

00:18:01.560 Now,

00:18:03.820 first of all,

00:18:05.080 it was, yeah,

00:18:05.860 it was purely for theater.

00:18:08.460 Didn't make any difference.

00:18:10.020 I thought it was a messed up thing to do,

00:18:12.260 honestly.

00:18:13.060 I did not appreciate

00:18:15.160 Josh Hawley's showboating.

00:18:18.720 You know,

00:18:19.000 I like Josh Hawley

00:18:20.340 on a lot of things.

00:18:21.720 He's a pretty solid politician.

00:18:24.720 But,

00:18:25.580 that wasn't necessary.

00:18:28.560 That's,

00:18:29.220 you know,

00:18:29.460 I want to be on Josh Hawley's side

00:18:31.320 because I think there's a real danger

00:18:33.840 on the platforms.

00:18:35.020 So,

00:18:35.300 I agree with him on policy.

00:18:36.980 But,

00:18:37.380 don't do that to a citizen.

00:18:39.920 Don't do that to an American citizen.

00:18:42.580 He's,

00:18:43.120 he's not an elected official.

00:18:45.700 How about treating him

00:18:46.480 with a little bit more respect than that?

00:18:49.240 You know,

00:18:49.680 even if you disagree deeply,

00:18:51.940 I just don't think that was

00:18:53.140 respectful.

00:18:54.720 I think that was below the,

00:18:56.400 below the,

00:18:57.480 below the office,

00:19:00.440 frankly.

00:19:01.260 It was below the institution

00:19:02.900 and the office.

00:19:04.200 But,

00:19:04.740 I would note that

00:19:05.720 Zuckerberg handled it cleverly

00:19:07.940 by not really offering an apology

00:19:10.240 at the same time that

00:19:12.160 people imagined it was an apology,

00:19:14.480 so they heard it as an apology.

00:19:16.760 So,

00:19:17.040 it was sort of one of those

00:19:17.820 green needle, 0.99

00:19:20.340 damn it, 0.99

00:19:21.160 what's that audio illusion? 1.00

00:19:23.460 Green needle,

00:19:24.440 you can hear two different things

00:19:25.780 with the same audio.

00:19:27.600 Brainstorming green needle.

00:19:28.620 So,

00:19:30.560 it was one of those.

00:19:31.760 Because if you watched it live,

00:19:33.340 you said to yourself,

00:19:34.220 hey,

00:19:34.440 there he is apologizing.

00:19:36.020 And then you listen to his words,

00:19:37.960 and then the,

00:19:38.700 the people talking about it said,

00:19:40.500 well,

00:19:40.640 there he is apologizing.

00:19:42.260 And so,

00:19:42.880 your brain said,

00:19:43.600 there he is,

00:19:44.180 he's apologizing.

00:19:45.120 Because they just said he's apologizing,

00:19:47.100 and there's words coming out of his mouth,

00:19:48.680 so it sounds like apologizing to me.

00:19:50.700 But he didn't.

00:19:52.700 I'm not saying he should,

00:19:54.540 or shouldn't.

00:19:55.400 I'm just saying that he said

00:19:57.160 he was sorry for their loss.

00:19:58.840 Now,

00:19:59.060 here's how,

00:19:59.660 how you know it's not an apology.

00:20:02.020 You could replace him with me,

00:20:05.300 just randomly,

00:20:06.340 just pick a person out of the crowd,

00:20:08.360 and say,

00:20:08.800 Zuckerberg,

00:20:09.340 could you,

00:20:10.340 just step aside for a minute.

00:20:12.100 We'd like to randomly replace you

00:20:14.100 with another citizen.

00:20:15.800 Scott,

00:20:16.640 okay,

00:20:17.280 come over here.

00:20:18.380 Now,

00:20:18.700 face,

00:20:19.160 face the parents

00:20:20.340 who've lost their children.

00:20:21.680 Is there anything you'd like to say?

00:20:23.560 And I would say,

00:20:25.100 well,

00:20:26.240 I wasn't expecting this,

00:20:27.480 but,

00:20:28.400 you know,

00:20:28.600 now that I'm here,

00:20:29.980 I would like to say that

00:20:31.260 I'm genuinely sorry

00:20:32.420 for all of your losses.

00:20:34.440 And I would be quite serious about that.

00:20:37.560 So,

00:20:38.120 it's not really an apology

00:20:39.540 if everybody in the world

00:20:41.500 could have said the same thing,

00:20:42.720 and it would have sounded the same.

00:20:45.560 It's not exactly

00:20:46.500 taking responsibility,

00:20:47.560 which is sort of key to

00:20:49.600 an apology.

00:20:50.280 An apology without taking responsibility

00:20:53.000 is a nothing.

00:20:54.600 Nobody asks him if he feels bad

00:20:56.200 that,

00:20:57.100 you know,

00:20:57.500 there are victims.

00:20:58.680 I'm sure he does.

00:20:59.920 He's not a monster.

00:21:01.520 It's a husband apology.

00:21:04.560 So,

00:21:05.620 a few other people

00:21:06.460 called that out.

00:21:08.120 Apparently,

00:21:09.000 according to

00:21:09.760 Linda Iaccarino,

00:21:11.340 CEO of X,

00:21:13.120 last year,

00:21:14.580 X suspended

00:21:15.260 over 12 million accounts

00:21:17.040 for violating,

00:21:17.840 I think it's something

00:21:19.520 about children policy.

00:21:21.800 And,

00:21:22.240 it's up from

00:21:22.980 2.3 million

00:21:23.980 that were removed

00:21:26.060 in 2022.

00:21:27.500 So,

00:21:28.020 they've just vastly

00:21:29.580 increased the amount

00:21:31.020 they're removing.

00:21:32.100 Now,

00:21:32.600 I don't know how much

00:21:33.320 gets through.

00:21:35.180 I mean,

00:21:35.520 if you remove

00:21:36.100 98% of it,

00:21:37.920 is that even going

00:21:38.680 to make a difference?

00:21:39.940 Or is the 2% 0.99

00:21:40.900 going to be so much

00:21:42.100 that it's like

00:21:43.280 nothing happened?

00:21:44.260 I don't know.

00:21:45.760 Don't know.

00:21:46.440 But I'll tell you,

00:21:49.460 we don't know

00:21:50.000 exactly what's going

00:21:50.880 on online

00:21:51.520 except it's bad

00:21:52.260 for kids.

00:21:53.680 Now,

00:21:54.100 you may say to yourself,

00:21:55.600 Scott,

00:21:56.460 what did this hearing

00:21:58.260 accomplish?

00:21:59.020 Because we have

00:21:59.480 this serious problem

00:22:00.380 that is ruining

00:22:01.520 the lives

00:22:02.160 and literally killing,

00:22:03.240 in some cases,

00:22:04.360 children

00:22:04.800 at an alarming rate.

00:22:07.200 So,

00:22:07.520 did anything get done?

00:22:08.380 Of course.

00:22:09.800 Of course.

00:22:10.680 That's why we have

00:22:11.340 a government

00:22:11.820 to get stuff done.

00:22:13.760 So,

00:22:14.440 among the things

00:22:15.260 that they got done

00:22:16.080 were we humiliated

00:22:18.180 a citizen

00:22:19.240 into a fake apology.

00:22:21.580 That wasn't going

00:22:22.420 to happen on its own.

00:22:24.480 Then there was a hearing.

00:22:26.100 There was a hearing.

00:22:27.700 That's not nothing.

00:22:29.380 And then the hearing,

00:22:30.460 with any luck,

00:22:31.280 might produce a report.

00:22:34.000 And then the report

00:22:35.160 might be used

00:22:36.480 to craft some legislation

00:22:37.900 that has a poison pill in it.

00:22:39.980 You know,

00:22:40.240 poison pill is something 0.71

00:22:41.500 you include

00:22:42.100 so that nobody

00:22:42.680 can vote for it.

00:22:43.520 And then there maybe

00:22:45.060 won't be a vote

00:22:45.900 because somebody

00:22:47.240 will hold it up

00:22:47.900 for procedural reasons.

00:22:49.580 But if there is a vote,

00:22:50.740 it won't be approved

00:22:51.500 because of the poison pill.

00:22:53.180 And then when it's not approved,

00:22:54.700 it will become

00:22:55.080 a campaign issue

00:22:56.020 for one of the sides.

00:22:58.700 So,

00:22:59.200 you're thinking

00:22:59.640 that nothing happened.

00:23:00.580 It's like,

00:23:00.900 oh,

00:23:01.520 I don't think anything's

00:23:02.480 going to happen.

00:23:03.180 That's not true.

00:23:05.020 You've got a fake apology,

00:23:06.500 a humiliated person,

00:23:08.620 you've got a hearing,

00:23:09.520 you've got a report,

00:23:10.340 you probably have

00:23:10.940 some fake legislation

00:23:12.000 with a poison pill,

00:23:13.280 and you might get

00:23:13.900 a campaign issue

00:23:14.640 out of it.

00:23:15.320 So,

00:23:15.540 that's not like nothing.

00:23:17.580 Come on.

00:23:18.820 Stop treating it

00:23:19.740 all cynically 1.00

00:23:20.340 like absolutely fucking 0.99

00:23:22.280 nothing happened 0.99

00:23:22.920 because nobody really cares

00:23:24.060 about your dead kids.

00:23:25.420 Because you know what?

00:23:26.460 The government doesn't care

00:23:27.720 about your dead kids.

00:23:29.780 I learned that

00:23:30.620 the hard way

00:23:31.160 because fentanyl

00:23:32.380 is still coming in,

00:23:33.360 folks.

00:23:34.020 Steve Malloy,

00:23:38.960 who writes and posts

00:23:41.240 a lot about climate change,

00:23:42.960 he's a skeptic

00:23:44.020 of the alarmist view

00:23:45.920 of climate,

00:23:47.320 but he says

00:23:48.160 that the,

00:23:48.640 that the climate hoax is,

00:23:53.220 or the,

00:23:53.760 yeah,

00:23:53.980 he calls it

00:23:54.300 the climate hoax,

00:23:55.280 the hockey stick claim

00:23:57.920 is being debunked,

00:23:59.460 he says.

00:24:00.420 Now,

00:24:00.740 you might not know

00:24:01.520 that climate scientists

00:24:03.940 Michael Mann,

00:24:05.040 I think I have this right,

00:24:06.360 but fact check me on this,

00:24:07.920 is in a lawsuit

00:24:09.460 against Mark Stein.

00:24:12.260 I think it's happening

00:24:13.160 in Canada,

00:24:13.820 and the issue is

00:24:15.940 that Mark Stein,

00:24:17.600 you know,

00:24:17.900 may have said

00:24:19.680 some things

00:24:20.260 about Michael Mann's

00:24:21.280 sciencing

00:24:22.000 that Michael Mann

00:24:23.640 thinks is

00:24:24.780 lawsuit worthy

00:24:25.800 because he would say

00:24:27.820 that his science

00:24:28.660 is good

00:24:29.100 and he's an honest guy

00:24:30.520 and he did good work

00:24:31.680 and that maligning him

00:24:33.280 in public

00:24:33.800 should have consequences.

00:24:36.420 However,

00:24:37.280 in defense of Mark Stein,

00:24:39.620 it looks like

00:24:40.120 a Wharton statistician

00:24:42.260 was brought in,

00:24:42.860 Dr. Abraham Weiner,

00:24:44.440 who testified

00:24:45.360 under oath

00:24:46.240 that the hockey stick 1.00

00:24:49.740 is bullshit 1.00

00:24:50.260 and that 1.00

00:24:52.420 the data 0.99

00:24:53.880 is bullshit 0.99

00:24:54.720 and the interpretation 1.00

00:24:55.880 is bullshit. 1.00

00:24:57.900 Now, 1.00

00:24:58.800 did it take long

00:25:00.680 for other people

00:25:02.180 to weigh in on this?

00:25:03.080 Well,

00:25:03.380 Dr. Jordan Peterson

00:25:04.400 weighed in

00:25:04.960 very quickly

00:25:06.480 and he talked

00:25:10.600 about how

00:25:11.020 the climate change

00:25:12.120 thing is being debunked.

00:25:14.360 Well,

00:25:14.520 that caused 0.77

00:25:15.100 a science student,

00:25:18.400 somebody whose profile

00:25:19.740 says they're a science student,

00:25:21.820 Dan Vandenbroek,

00:25:24.360 and he wrote

00:25:24.900 a lengthy reply

00:25:26.700 to Dr. Jordan Peterson

00:25:28.240 and he says

00:25:29.540 that although,

00:25:31.060 and by the way,

00:25:32.060 as a public figure,

00:25:33.680 if you really want

00:25:34.480 to annoy a public figure,

00:25:36.480 start your criticism

00:25:37.780 this way.

00:25:39.060 We hate it.

00:25:40.860 Well,

00:25:41.200 you know,

00:25:41.980 you do a lot of good things

00:25:43.380 in this other field.

00:25:45.620 Oh my God,

00:25:46.560 I hate that.

00:25:48.620 Oh,

00:25:49.200 do I hate that.

00:25:50.140 Because everything

00:25:50.840 that follows that

00:25:51.680 is going to be 1.00

00:25:52.240 fucking stupid. 1.00

00:25:53.920 You know it is. 1.00

00:25:55.500 So,

00:25:56.000 this guy's going to go

00:25:56.820 after Jordan Peterson

00:25:58.200 for being,

00:25:59.640 you know,

00:25:59.900 an expert

00:26:00.380 in one field

00:26:01.220 of science,

00:26:02.420 but not climate science

00:26:04.600 like he is.

00:26:05.240 So,

00:26:07.300 he's going to point out

00:26:08.280 that,

00:26:08.720 you know,

00:26:09.620 although your insights

00:26:10.840 in psychology

00:26:11.620 have been invaluable

00:26:12.660 to many,

00:26:13.960 blah, blah,

00:26:14.840 but your reliance

00:26:16.000 on figures

00:26:16.540 such as Steve Malloy,

00:26:18.220 and then he'll talk

00:26:18.980 about how Steve Malloy

00:26:20.620 is known for his ties

00:26:21.820 to oil and tobacco industries.

00:26:23.580 I don't know if,

00:26:24.380 I don't know about

00:26:25.040 any of that,

00:26:25.600 if that's true.

00:26:26.880 But I do assume

00:26:27.840 that everybody

00:26:28.380 who's involved

00:26:29.160 has some kind of tie

00:26:30.080 to somebody.

00:26:30.680 I don't think

00:26:32.660 there's anybody

00:26:33.160 who's really

00:26:33.760 completely untied

00:26:36.040 to anybody

00:26:36.580 who has any

00:26:37.120 political or financial

00:26:38.200 interest.

00:26:41.760 And blah,

00:26:42.780 blah, blah.

00:26:43.180 So,

00:26:43.440 he maligns 1.00

00:26:44.540 Steve Malloy

00:26:45.500 with,

00:26:46.060 you know,

00:26:46.300 generic stuff,

00:26:47.500 nothing specific.

00:26:49.220 And then,

00:26:50.760 let's see,

00:26:53.080 then he says

00:26:53.580 you have a lack

00:26:54.060 of nuance

00:26:54.520 on these topics,

00:26:55.520 and he complains

00:26:57.920 about how

00:26:59.120 Jordan Peterson

00:26:59.720 tweeted that

00:27:00.700 there's global

00:27:02.160 greening because

00:27:03.160 of CO2

00:27:04.020 and that therefore

00:27:05.440 CO2 might be

00:27:06.920 helping the planet

00:27:08.080 more than hurting

00:27:08.840 because greening

00:27:10.140 is increasing.

00:27:11.680 But the science

00:27:12.420 student points out

00:27:13.300 that Jordan Peterson

00:27:15.400 and others

00:27:15.980 are leaving out

00:27:16.880 that although

00:27:17.820 it is greening,

00:27:19.500 that's true,

00:27:20.780 CO2 is going up

00:27:21.980 and the planet

00:27:22.900 is greening,

00:27:23.760 but it's not

00:27:24.260 because of CO2.

00:27:25.860 It's because

00:27:26.540 of better land

00:27:27.220 management.

00:27:29.620 To which I say,

00:27:31.020 but it's still

00:27:32.800 getting greener?

00:27:34.240 Yeah,

00:27:34.780 but not because

00:27:35.400 of CO2,

00:27:36.140 because of better

00:27:36.660 land management.

00:27:38.780 And then I say

00:27:39.740 again,

00:27:40.380 but it's still

00:27:41.860 getting greener.

00:27:43.140 Yeah,

00:27:43.320 yeah,

00:27:43.520 yeah,

00:27:43.760 but not because

00:27:44.500 of the CO2.

00:27:45.780 No,

00:27:46.480 it's because of

00:27:47.000 better land

00:27:47.460 management.

00:27:49.260 And then I say,

00:27:50.400 I accept your

00:27:51.320 frame,

00:27:52.240 and you're saying

00:27:53.400 that those two

00:27:54.300 things together,

00:27:55.040 or maybe even

00:27:55.980 just the land

00:27:56.580 management is

00:27:57.980 making everything

00:27:58.620 greener.

00:28:00.120 Yes,

00:28:00.400 I am,

00:28:00.720 but it's not

00:28:01.060 because of

00:28:01.460 climate change.

00:28:02.100 Okay,

00:28:02.740 do you even

00:28:03.420 hear yourself?

00:28:04.840 Can you even

00:28:05.400 hear what you're

00:28:05.900 saying?

00:28:08.500 Because

00:28:08.980 if there's a

00:28:12.500 problem that's

00:28:13.160 just making us

00:28:13.880 happier,

00:28:14.920 why are we

00:28:15.540 complaining about

00:28:16.260 it?

00:28:16.900 Does it matter

00:28:17.600 why it's getting

00:28:18.380 greener?

00:28:19.980 It doesn't matter

00:28:20.820 why.

00:28:21.240 it just

00:28:22.160 matters that

00:28:23.380 it's not

00:28:23.760 getting

00:28:24.020 un-green.

00:28:25.580 That's what

00:28:26.200 matters.

00:28:27.600 All right.

00:28:29.680 Anyway,

00:28:30.580 here's my

00:28:31.160 take on

00:28:31.560 this.

00:28:32.480 Yes,

00:28:32.980 Dr.

00:28:33.320 Jordan

00:28:33.560 Peterson is

00:28:34.100 not an

00:28:34.420 expert on

00:28:35.080 climate science.

00:28:36.560 However,

00:28:37.560 Dr.

00:28:38.040 Peterson is

00:28:38.800 looking at

00:28:39.440 more science

00:28:40.160 than this

00:28:40.660 guy,

00:28:41.440 because

00:28:41.700 psychology

00:28:42.260 is also

00:28:43.140 a science.

00:28:44.480 Some say

00:28:45.020 you can't

00:28:45.420 reproduce it,

00:28:46.180 but there's

00:28:46.600 still some

00:28:47.020 science there.

00:28:47.560 specifically,

00:28:52.600 the science

00:28:54.100 of mass

00:28:56.020 hysterias,

00:28:57.520 and the

00:28:58.200 science of

00:28:58.720 how people

00:28:59.120 can be

00:28:59.520 influenced,

00:29:00.460 and even

00:29:01.020 more importantly,

00:29:02.300 the science

00:29:02.900 of how

00:29:03.300 economics is

00:29:04.240 basically

00:29:04.700 psychology,

00:29:05.900 with money,

00:29:07.520 right?

00:29:07.760 The study

00:29:08.140 of economics.

00:29:09.600 So this

00:29:10.120 young man

00:29:10.760 can't

00:29:11.680 understand

00:29:12.320 why somebody

00:29:13.820 as smart

00:29:14.220 as Jordan

00:29:14.640 Peterson

00:29:15.080 wouldn't go

00:29:16.360 with the

00:29:16.720 consensus

00:29:17.220 of

00:29:17.580 scientists

00:29:18.120 and

00:29:18.340 climate

00:29:18.620 science,

00:29:19.580 because,

00:29:19.980 I mean,

00:29:20.340 how can

00:29:20.620 all these

00:29:20.940 people be

00:29:21.400 wrong?

00:29:23.120 There's

00:29:23.440 actually

00:29:23.820 still

00:29:24.220 somebody

00:29:24.600 in the

00:29:24.900 world

00:29:25.200 who

00:29:26.100 believes

00:29:26.500 that if

00:29:26.820 all the

00:29:27.120 scientists

00:29:27.540 agree,

00:29:29.000 or 90%

00:29:30.060 or 95%

00:29:30.960 or whatever

00:29:31.360 it is,

00:29:32.060 that therefore

00:29:32.600 you know

00:29:33.100 something.

00:29:34.620 Oh,

00:29:35.080 my goodness.

00:29:36.980 This is

00:29:37.760 probably what

00:29:38.280 Dr.

00:29:38.780 Drew was

00:29:39.400 when he

00:29:39.960 was the

00:29:40.460 age of

00:29:40.840 this young

00:29:41.200 man.

00:29:43.100 Still

00:29:43.680 believing

00:29:44.060 that if

00:29:44.500 the consensus

00:29:45.200 of science

00:29:46.200 was heavily

00:29:47.180 weighted in

00:29:47.820 one direction

00:29:48.440 that told

00:29:49.520 you something

00:29:49.940 useful.

00:29:51.300 We're a

00:29:52.100 long way

00:29:52.640 from that

00:29:53.000 world.

00:29:54.780 And so

00:29:55.220 my take

00:29:55.860 on this

00:29:56.260 is that

00:29:56.840 the

00:29:58.040 climate

00:29:58.540 alarmists

00:29:59.260 are using

00:30:00.700 one less

00:30:01.860 science

00:30:02.520 than I

00:30:02.980 am.

00:30:04.900 Does that

00:30:05.620 make sense?

00:30:06.940 So I'm

00:30:07.760 kind of

00:30:08.520 copying

00:30:08.920 Dawkins.

00:30:15.180 Dawkins

00:30:15.660 says he

00:30:16.140 doesn't

00:30:16.980 believe in

00:30:17.380 God,

00:30:18.280 but really

00:30:19.000 he's a lot

00:30:20.240 like the

00:30:20.600 believers

00:30:20.960 because he

00:30:22.160 disbelieves

00:30:22.720 all of the

00:30:23.380 other gods

00:30:23.940 that they

00:30:24.280 also disbelieve

00:30:25.460 and he's

00:30:26.560 just one

00:30:27.000 God short

00:30:27.620 of being

00:30:28.100 the same

00:30:28.920 opinion.

00:30:30.220 Now he

00:30:30.640 says it

00:30:31.040 like it's

00:30:31.640 funnier.

00:30:32.600 In my

00:30:32.980 case,

00:30:33.240 I'm being

00:30:33.460 more serious.

00:30:34.540 If you

00:30:35.180 looked at

00:30:35.520 the science

00:30:36.020 of climate

00:30:36.540 change and

00:30:37.700 it's the

00:30:37.920 only science

00:30:38.640 you looked

00:30:38.960 at,

00:30:39.680 you'd be

00:30:40.260 missing the

00:30:40.740 picture.

00:30:41.640 Because the

00:30:42.340 science of

00:30:42.900 why you

00:30:43.260 think what

00:30:43.680 you think,

00:30:44.560 psychology,

00:30:45.600 is at least

00:30:46.540 half of the

00:30:47.020 story.

00:30:48.200 So you're

00:30:48.700 one science

00:30:49.420 short if

00:30:50.820 all you did

00:30:51.300 is look at

00:30:51.740 climate science.

00:30:52.940 Now I know

00:30:53.340 climate science

00:30:54.080 includes chemistry

00:30:55.800 and physics,

00:30:57.180 so it's a

00:30:57.660 bunch of

00:30:58.640 science in

00:30:59.100 there.

00:30:59.720 But you're

00:31:00.200 still one

00:31:00.600 science short

00:31:01.260 if you don't

00:31:02.860 understand how

00:31:03.540 all the

00:31:04.220 economic

00:31:05.360 incentives of

00:31:06.460 the entire

00:31:06.860 industry are

00:31:07.440 pointing in

00:31:07.860 the same

00:31:08.140 direction,

00:31:09.160 and therefore

00:31:09.700 the psychology

00:31:10.560 of people

00:31:11.040 involved would

00:31:12.220 be to

00:31:12.840 believe something

00:31:14.600 that the

00:31:15.080 evidence doesn't

00:31:15.880 suggest because

00:31:16.800 cognitive dissonance

00:31:17.980 and or self

00:31:18.700 interest would

00:31:19.660 drive them

00:31:20.160 strongly in

00:31:20.860 that direction.

00:31:23.040 If you don't

00:31:23.920 understand how

00:31:24.560 easily that

00:31:25.260 can happen,

00:31:26.260 i.e.

00:31:26.940 maybe it

00:31:27.400 happened in

00:31:27.860 the pandemic,

00:31:29.900 then you're

00:31:30.780 one science

00:31:31.300 short.

00:31:32.600 So don't

00:31:33.060 tell me I'm

00:31:33.500 anti-science,

00:31:34.340 I'm using

00:31:34.760 more science

00:31:35.600 than you,

00:31:36.060 not less.

00:31:37.380 I'm accepting

00:31:37.980 everything you

00:31:38.800 said about

00:31:39.240 climate change

00:31:40.040 did really

00:31:41.080 come from

00:31:41.540 scientists,

00:31:42.540 and then I'm

00:31:43.220 looking at what

00:31:43.680 the psychologists

00:31:44.380 would say about

00:31:45.420 scientists who

00:31:46.920 are in this

00:31:47.360 situation,

00:31:48.720 and I used

00:31:49.620 both sciences

00:31:50.260 to come to

00:31:50.880 my decision.

00:31:51.980 If you only

00:31:52.740 used one

00:31:53.300 science,

00:31:54.400 you're a

00:31:54.980 science short.

00:31:58.800 Here's another

00:31:59.520 thing I told

00:32:00.160 you.

00:32:00.340 I have

00:32:02.360 experience in

00:32:03.160 something called

00:32:03.640 the real

00:32:04.040 world, where

00:32:05.740 I worked at

00:32:06.280 big companies

00:32:07.040 that acted

00:32:08.380 like big

00:32:08.860 organizations.

00:32:10.480 Now, once

00:32:10.900 you've worked

00:32:11.300 at a few

00:32:11.860 different big

00:32:12.460 companies, you

00:32:13.100 realize there

00:32:13.660 are some

00:32:13.980 things that

00:32:14.400 are just in

00:32:15.640 common, and

00:32:17.020 it has nothing

00:32:17.520 to do with

00:32:18.200 which company.

00:32:19.480 It's just you

00:32:19.960 put a lot of

00:32:20.540 people in one

00:32:21.100 place, no

00:32:22.420 matter what

00:32:22.820 their mission

00:32:23.240 is, and

00:32:24.060 they start

00:32:24.400 acting like a

00:32:25.320 group instead

00:32:25.960 of an

00:32:26.200 individual.

00:32:26.520 So one

00:32:28.420 of the

00:32:28.560 things I

00:32:28.880 told you

00:32:29.220 was, someday

00:32:31.580 you would look

00:32:32.180 back and think

00:32:32.920 it's funny that

00:32:34.560 science ever

00:32:35.240 told you they

00:32:36.600 can measure the

00:32:37.460 temperature of

00:32:38.180 the earth and

00:32:40.300 get an average

00:32:41.100 and compare it

00:32:42.760 to the past

00:32:43.300 years.

00:32:46.260 That's 0.98

00:32:46.780 ridiculous. 0.99

00:32:48.660 You don't 1.00

00:32:49.380 have to know

00:32:49.800 anything about

00:32:50.360 science to

00:32:51.640 know that's

00:32:52.080 not doable.

00:32:53.260 You can't do

00:32:54.120 anything of that

00:32:54.820 scale anywhere

00:32:56.140 in any time.

00:32:58.840 No, it's not

00:32:59.900 possible.

00:33:00.740 Now, I get

00:33:01.360 that years ago

00:33:03.600 in the 60s,

00:33:04.580 they put a

00:33:05.720 rocket ship

00:33:06.880 on the moon,

00:33:08.560 but that's

00:33:09.320 math and

00:33:10.800 physics.

00:33:12.940 That's a

00:33:13.540 whole different

00:33:14.800 constrained set

00:33:15.920 of variables,

00:33:16.660 right?

00:33:17.200 Space is kind

00:33:18.120 of easy compared

00:33:18.980 to weather.

00:33:20.260 I mean, once

00:33:20.620 you get into

00:33:21.000 space, it's

00:33:21.740 basically, what,

00:33:23.800 a vacuum?

00:33:27.220 Well, a

00:33:27.860 vacuum.

00:33:28.820 So that's got

00:33:29.420 to make

00:33:29.680 everything easier,

00:33:30.480 right?

00:33:31.500 So here are

00:33:32.420 some of the

00:33:32.780 things we've

00:33:33.260 learned about

00:33:33.780 how they

00:33:34.160 measure the

00:33:34.680 temperatures

00:33:35.140 from some

00:33:36.800 critics.

00:33:37.600 You've heard

00:33:38.140 about the

00:33:38.560 heat islands

00:33:39.440 where if

00:33:41.180 your thermometer,

00:33:42.820 let's say if

00:33:43.640 you put your

00:33:44.100 thermometer there

00:33:44.860 50 years ago

00:33:45.840 and then since

00:33:47.580 that time a

00:33:48.340 parking lot got

00:33:49.680 put in or

00:33:50.380 it's near a

00:33:51.040 city or an

00:33:51.560 airport or

00:33:52.040 something, the

00:33:53.960 temperature is

00:33:55.020 warmer wherever

00:33:56.180 there's a bunch

00:33:57.660 of concrete.

00:33:59.120 Where there's

00:34:00.060 concrete or

00:34:01.380 metal, it's

00:34:02.720 just going to

00:34:03.100 be warmer.

00:34:03.920 So if the

00:34:04.520 only thing that

00:34:05.080 changed was

00:34:06.280 that there was

00:34:06.780 more construction

00:34:08.000 around where

00:34:08.920 the thermometers

00:34:09.760 already were,

00:34:12.020 then what you

00:34:14.240 would expect is

00:34:14.960 that it would

00:34:15.300 look like there's

00:34:15.960 global warming,

00:34:17.120 but all it was

00:34:18.120 is that the

00:34:19.560 thermometers are

00:34:20.780 in the wrong

00:34:21.160 place.

00:34:22.480 But if you're

00:34:24.180 paying attention

00:34:24.780 to the topic,

00:34:25.520 you know that

00:34:26.160 the people who

00:34:27.160 measure the

00:34:27.600 temperatures, they

00:34:28.620 know that, so

00:34:29.960 they're aware of

00:34:30.360 it.

00:34:30.820 So obviously

00:34:31.600 what they did

00:34:32.420 was they went

00:34:34.600 out and they

00:34:34.960 surveyed all the

00:34:35.540 places that the

00:34:36.240 thermometers were

00:34:37.020 near heat sinks

00:34:38.820 and then they

00:34:40.040 replaced them or

00:34:41.100 moved them.

00:34:42.680 So that makes

00:34:43.120 sense, right?

00:34:44.880 So how good

00:34:46.120 did they do?

00:34:47.040 Well, the

00:34:47.700 critics went out

00:34:48.540 and measured

00:34:49.120 and counted

00:34:50.460 all the places

00:34:51.360 and then checked

00:34:51.960 to see if they

00:34:52.560 were near

00:34:53.000 heat sinks.

00:34:55.340 89% of the

00:34:56.640 thermometers were

00:34:57.540 still near a

00:34:58.320 heat island.

00:35:00.960 89% of the

00:35:02.400 thermometers still,

00:35:04.560 like right now,

00:35:06.560 are next to a

00:35:07.240 heat island.

00:35:09.000 No, there was

00:35:09.780 never any hope

00:35:10.580 that you could

00:35:11.000 measure the

00:35:11.480 temperature of

00:35:12.060 the earth.

00:35:13.560 It was 0.96

00:35:14.100 ridiculous. 0.92

00:35:15.560 No. 0.99

00:35:16.160 No, in fact,

00:35:17.180 it's entirely

00:35:18.120 possible that

00:35:19.420 all of the

00:35:20.040 warming is just

00:35:20.800 that.

00:35:21.740 I don't know.

00:35:24.060 And then if you

00:35:24.860 measure the

00:35:25.440 satellites, if the

00:35:26.860 satellites are done

00:35:27.680 for the temperature,

00:35:28.760 you don't have

00:35:29.260 much history.

00:35:30.980 So the satellites

00:35:31.680 have only been

00:35:32.340 doing their

00:35:32.820 things since

00:35:33.680 the 70s,

00:35:35.560 maybe?

00:35:36.340 So then you

00:35:37.120 would have to

00:35:38.520 splice it

00:35:39.620 together with

00:35:40.180 some other way

00:35:41.100 of measuring it

00:35:41.780 before that,

00:35:42.880 and if they

00:35:43.400 were not

00:35:43.820 comparable, it

00:35:45.100 might look like

00:35:45.720 things have

00:35:46.280 gone up lately,

00:35:47.180 when in fact

00:35:48.680 you're just

00:35:49.120 bad at

00:35:49.460 measuring stuff.

00:35:51.920 Here's another

00:35:52.600 measurement problem.

00:35:54.040 Apparently the

00:35:54.680 thermometers are

00:35:55.700 looking for the

00:35:57.180 high of the

00:35:57.880 day and the

00:35:58.680 low of the

00:35:59.220 day.

00:36:00.660 So that's

00:36:02.040 all they're

00:36:02.320 measuring, the

00:36:03.020 high and the

00:36:03.560 low.

00:36:04.300 Do you think

00:36:04.680 that gets the

00:36:05.300 job done?

00:36:07.040 No.

00:36:08.180 Because it

00:36:08.800 turns out that

00:36:09.980 there are these

00:36:10.620 temporary biases.

00:36:13.520 So in other

00:36:13.980 words, let's

00:36:14.800 say you're not

00:36:16.420 too close to

00:36:17.260 an airport,

00:36:18.540 but there's

00:36:19.260 an airport

00:36:19.720 down the

00:36:20.620 road or

00:36:20.900 something.

00:36:21.740 A shift in

00:36:22.520 the wind

00:36:23.040 could take

00:36:24.860 your already

00:36:25.400 high temperature,

00:36:26.840 zing it up a

00:36:27.540 degree or two,

00:36:29.120 and then the

00:36:29.800 wind changes and

00:36:30.540 it goes back to

00:36:31.180 where it was.

00:36:32.260 So what was

00:36:32.820 the temperature?

00:36:34.880 Did it reach a

00:36:35.740 new high?

00:36:36.680 Or did the

00:36:37.420 wind blow?

00:36:39.420 See, you're

00:36:40.560 not even close

00:36:41.600 to having the

00:36:42.880 right technology

00:36:43.760 in the right

00:36:44.380 place long

00:36:45.700 enough and a

00:36:47.480 low enough

00:36:47.880 level of

00:36:48.480 complexity that

00:36:50.140 you can know

00:36:50.540 you can do

00:36:50.960 it right.

00:36:51.560 We're nowhere

00:36:52.080 near human

00:36:53.600 beings being

00:36:54.540 able to measure

00:36:55.160 the temperature

00:36:55.740 of the earth

00:36:56.260 and do it

00:36:57.660 over time and

00:36:58.400 know what's

00:36:58.800 changing.

00:37:01.140 Now, to be

00:37:02.040 clear, I'm not

00:37:02.660 saying the world

00:37:03.500 isn't getting

00:37:04.000 warmer, and I'm

00:37:05.200 not saying that

00:37:06.000 humans have no 1.00

00:37:06.980 role in it.

00:37:07.560 I'm saying

00:37:08.960 that if you

00:37:09.800 think you can

00:37:10.280 measure it,

00:37:11.680 that's crazy.

00:37:13.480 And everybody

00:37:14.120 who's had any

00:37:14.860 experience in

00:37:15.600 big companies

00:37:16.200 and doing any

00:37:17.420 kind of data

00:37:18.020 related work,

00:37:19.300 they'll all tell

00:37:19.940 you the same

00:37:20.340 thing.

00:37:21.280 I'll bet there

00:37:21.740 wasn't a single

00:37:22.560 data budget

00:37:24.540 analysis I ever

00:37:25.820 did in my

00:37:26.900 entire corporate

00:37:27.720 career that was

00:37:29.160 accurate or real.

00:37:31.080 You don't even

00:37:31.920 try, really,

00:37:32.960 because it's not

00:37:33.720 an option.

00:37:35.200 If doing it

00:37:35.940 accurately and real

00:37:37.380 was an option,

00:37:38.460 I would have

00:37:38.960 done that.

00:37:40.200 You know, I

00:37:40.640 would have been

00:37:40.960 fired.

00:37:42.660 Because really,

00:37:43.460 you have to do

00:37:43.820 what your boss

00:37:44.260 wants it to be.

00:37:45.580 If you come up

00:37:46.500 with an outcome

00:37:47.440 that makes your

00:37:48.520 boss unhappy,

00:37:49.260 you've got to

00:37:49.600 go back and do

00:37:50.140 it.

00:37:50.660 Do it a

00:37:51.040 different way.

00:37:53.960 So I would

00:37:54.700 say that maybe

00:37:56.140 the jig is

00:37:57.280 almost up for

00:37:58.280 the science

00:38:00.440 community in

00:38:02.900 the climate

00:38:03.240 science world.

00:38:04.520 And by the

00:38:04.880 way, who knows

00:38:06.140 what the actual

00:38:06.820 danger is,

00:38:07.840 but I don't

00:38:08.700 trust any of

00:38:09.240 the science.

00:38:11.160 All right.

00:38:12.980 There's a PBS

00:38:13.980 documentary talking

00:38:15.000 about the famed

00:38:16.260 January 6th

00:38:17.200 committee that

00:38:17.780 held all those

00:38:18.360 hearings.

00:38:19.500 And although we

00:38:20.240 knew this,

00:38:21.140 it's just shocking

00:38:21.960 to see it put

00:38:23.140 together in a

00:38:24.040 documentary,

00:38:25.320 that the

00:38:27.000 January 6th

00:38:27.840 committee people

00:38:28.560 hired the

00:38:30.140 former president

00:38:31.000 of ABC News,

00:38:32.160 James Goldston,

00:38:32.900 to produce it

00:38:34.640 like a

00:38:35.080 miniseries.

00:38:36.840 So he had

00:38:37.620 the idea that

00:38:38.260 you need to

00:38:38.800 have the drama

00:38:39.840 and the

00:38:40.320 pageantry and

00:38:41.080 the showmanship

00:38:41.600 and drag it

00:38:43.120 out in the

00:38:43.620 right order

00:38:44.120 so that it

00:38:45.060 would have

00:38:45.260 the maximum

00:38:45.920 psychological

00:38:46.820 impact on

00:38:48.200 the public.

00:38:50.820 To which I

00:38:51.640 say, is

00:38:53.100 that why you

00:38:53.640 do hearings?

00:38:54.920 To manipulate

00:38:55.860 the public?

00:38:56.420 I thought the

00:38:58.000 point of the

00:38:58.400 hearings was to

00:38:59.200 find out if

00:38:59.820 something bad

00:39:00.620 had been done.

00:39:02.300 Were we trying

00:39:02.840 to look for a

00:39:03.420 criminal activity

00:39:04.180 to see if there

00:39:04.840 might be some

00:39:05.540 justice that

00:39:07.100 needed to be

00:39:07.560 applied?

00:39:08.900 Where's the

00:39:09.540 part about

00:39:10.080 their main,

00:39:11.100 apparently their

00:39:11.860 main focus was

00:39:13.080 literally propaganda.

00:39:14.940 And they're so

00:39:15.740 proud of it that

00:39:17.460 they're even

00:39:18.480 talking about it

00:39:19.220 on camera.

00:39:20.180 So, oh yeah,

00:39:21.020 we were real

00:39:21.600 concerned about

00:39:22.340 how this came

00:39:23.680 across, so we

00:39:24.480 hired somebody to

00:39:25.320 really package it

00:39:26.080 up like a TV

00:39:26.800 show, so we

00:39:28.420 could really

00:39:28.800 brainwash and

00:39:29.560 propagandize the

00:39:30.400 American people.

00:39:31.520 And man, we

00:39:31.940 did a good job

00:39:32.620 of it.

00:39:32.920 We're quite happy

00:39:33.820 about it.

00:39:35.820 Yeah.

00:39:36.640 We knew it.

00:39:38.860 The part that's

00:39:39.600 new is that

00:39:40.380 they're bragging

00:39:40.920 about it in a

00:39:41.700 documentary.

00:39:42.900 Like they think

00:39:43.860 it's okay.

00:39:45.500 This isn't okay.

00:39:47.620 This is so not

00:39:48.500 okay.

00:39:50.920 Totally not

00:39:51.720 okay.

00:39:52.900 And it's a

00:39:53.420 documentary where

00:39:54.320 they're bragging

00:39:54.780 about it.

00:39:55.240 And they

00:39:56.260 probably would

00:39:56.920 do it again.

00:39:59.040 All right,

00:39:59.560 here's a tiny

00:40:00.400 story that could

00:40:01.160 be an interesting

00:40:01.780 story.

00:40:02.380 I don't think

00:40:02.940 anything's going

00:40:03.540 to come of

00:40:03.920 this, but we'll

00:40:04.480 see.

00:40:05.260 Apparently,

00:40:05.820 before Joe

00:40:06.360 Biden got

00:40:08.680 the Ukrainian

00:40:10.240 prosecutor, Shokin,

00:40:11.740 fired, when he

00:40:12.800 went over there in

00:40:13.520 person, there

00:40:14.960 were some drafts

00:40:16.140 of speeches in

00:40:17.880 which he was

00:40:18.920 talking about that

00:40:19.620 situation that

00:40:21.220 some people

00:40:22.280 say, but we

00:40:23.960 don't have

00:40:24.360 confirmation, his

00:40:26.040 early speeches

00:40:26.760 may have been in

00:40:27.460 conflict with

00:40:28.860 him saying that

00:40:29.500 everybody wanted

00:40:30.120 to fire this

00:40:30.740 guy and that

00:40:31.960 he just did

00:40:32.940 what everybody

00:40:33.400 wanted.

00:40:34.720 So I would

00:40:36.280 say I wouldn't

00:40:36.820 get too excited

00:40:37.460 about it, but

00:40:38.580 the number of

00:40:39.540 Krakens that are 0.78

00:40:40.400 out there that

00:40:41.540 sound like they

00:40:42.280 could be something,

00:40:43.880 there are a lot

00:40:44.360 of them now.

00:40:45.440 Probably most of

00:40:46.240 them will turn

00:40:46.700 it to nothing.

00:40:47.820 But I guess

00:40:48.320 the White

00:40:49.400 House is just

00:40:50.000 refusing to

00:40:51.920 produce said

00:40:54.060 document if

00:40:54.880 said document

00:40:55.520 exists, and

00:40:56.680 if it does

00:40:57.100 exist, I'm

00:40:57.680 sure they've

00:40:58.060 destroyed it by

00:40:58.760 now, because

00:41:00.020 the penalty for

00:41:00.940 destroying it

00:41:01.760 apparently is

00:41:02.800 nothing, but

00:41:04.160 the penalty for

00:41:05.260 giving something

00:41:06.520 embarrassing to

00:41:07.560 the other side

00:41:10.780 would be even

00:41:11.280 worse.

00:41:11.600 So, what

00:41:17.940 am I looking

00:41:18.380 at?

00:41:20.980 All right.

00:41:23.700 So let's

00:41:24.340 talk about the

00:41:26.720 first city on

00:41:28.000 the moon.

00:41:29.500 I saw

00:41:30.160 somebody tweeting

00:41:30.880 the question,

00:41:32.740 someday there'll

00:41:33.840 be a first city

00:41:34.620 on the moon,

00:41:35.200 what should be

00:41:35.620 called?

00:41:36.780 If you had to

00:41:37.360 name the first

00:41:38.320 city on the

00:41:38.900 moon, what

00:41:39.940 would you call

00:41:40.420 it?

00:41:40.720 I have a

00:41:41.200 suggestion.

00:41:41.600 Moscow.

00:41:45.100 Yeah, Moscow.

00:41:47.240 No?

00:41:51.400 Elonia?

00:41:53.920 Elongate?

00:41:57.900 Yeah, if it

00:41:58.620 has any kind

00:41:59.960 of a gate, it

00:42:01.640 would be the

00:42:02.160 Elongate.

00:42:03.680 All right.

00:42:06.080 Most of you

00:42:06.760 have already

00:42:07.020 heard the story

00:42:07.480 about Musk

00:42:08.460 being turned

00:42:09.080 down for his

00:42:10.420 $55 billion

00:42:11.420 pay package

00:42:12.540 that he

00:42:13.020 negotiated with

00:42:14.600 the board

00:42:14.980 back in

00:42:15.520 2017 or

00:42:16.560 18.

00:42:17.560 And here's

00:42:18.340 what maybe

00:42:18.880 you didn't

00:42:19.420 know, that

00:42:20.860 it was turned

00:42:21.360 down because

00:42:21.860 it was

00:42:22.320 seemingly

00:42:22.880 unfair and

00:42:24.260 he had too

00:42:24.640 many friends

00:42:25.060 on the

00:42:25.360 board.

00:42:26.600 Here's some

00:42:27.000 more background

00:42:27.500 to that.

00:42:28.000 The judge

00:42:30.660 judge, it's

00:42:33.600 always exactly

00:42:34.300 what you

00:42:34.700 think it

00:42:35.080 is.

00:42:36.140 It's

00:42:36.680 exactly what

00:42:37.460 you think

00:42:37.780 it is.

00:42:39.620 There's a

00:42:40.440 judge who

00:42:42.660 turned it

00:42:43.180 down, was

00:42:46.340 let's see,

00:42:47.140 Judge

00:42:47.820 McCormick, who

00:42:50.260 used to work

00:42:50.860 with Biden's

00:42:51.640 top donors

00:42:52.420 and was

00:42:54.660 nominated by

00:42:57.240 Biden's

00:42:57.900 close friend

00:42:58.660 and Hunter

00:43:02.120 Biden claimed

00:43:03.760 to personally

00:43:04.360 know every

00:43:04.940 judge on the

00:43:05.660 Delaware

00:43:06.040 Chancery Court,

00:43:07.840 so that's

00:43:08.320 actually in

00:43:08.740 recording, when

00:43:09.840 he was

00:43:10.100 threatening a

00:43:10.880 Chinese partner,

00:43:12.880 he told them

00:43:13.440 that he would

00:43:13.820 take him to

00:43:14.280 court and he

00:43:14.820 knows every

00:43:15.340 member personally

00:43:16.180 of the Delaware

00:43:16.940 Chancery Court.

00:43:19.140 Right.

00:43:19.700 So Delaware

00:43:20.320 is basically

00:43:21.000 owned by the

00:43:21.760 Bidens.

00:43:23.140 And so this

00:43:24.100 is the place

00:43:24.820 that they

00:43:25.680 found a

00:43:26.180 weakness they

00:43:26.740 could go

00:43:27.060 after Musk.

00:43:30.240 So every

00:43:31.440 bit of this

00:43:31.920 is corrupt.

00:43:33.220 It's exactly 0.98

00:43:33.980 what it looks

00:43:34.480 like.

00:43:36.380 The Bidens 0.99

00:43:37.100 are corrupt 0.96

00:43:37.880 owners of

00:43:38.560 Delaware.

00:43:39.560 Delaware is

00:43:40.220 where a lot

00:43:40.640 of corporations

00:43:41.340 put their

00:43:42.920 paperwork,

00:43:43.620 their paperwork

00:43:44.540 anyway.

00:43:45.260 It's a common

00:43:45.820 thing.

00:43:46.900 And so they

00:43:48.140 found this

00:43:48.560 weakness that

00:43:49.240 they own

00:43:49.560 Delaware so

00:43:50.200 they could

00:43:50.440 make Delaware

00:43:51.140 cost Musk

00:43:52.820 $55 billion.

00:43:55.060 Now Musk,

00:43:56.120 not to be

00:43:56.740 defeated by

00:43:57.420 such bullshittery,

00:43:59.280 has decided

00:43:59.920 that he did

00:44:01.780 a little survey

00:44:02.420 on X and

00:44:03.980 they suggest

00:44:05.700 he move his

00:44:06.460 corporation to

00:44:07.220 Texas.

00:44:09.060 Now,

00:44:09.920 and apparently

00:44:11.020 he's going to

00:44:11.440 do that.

00:44:13.140 Now some

00:44:13.660 have said

00:44:14.140 that there

00:44:17.500 should be an

00:44:18.020 easy way to

00:44:19.000 port your

00:44:20.120 corporation to

00:44:20.860 another state.

00:44:21.760 I think

00:44:22.080 Musk may have 0.92

00:44:23.040 said that.

00:44:23.840 But there

00:44:24.180 should be some

00:44:24.720 kind of

00:44:25.080 technology or

00:44:26.120 service or

00:44:26.740 process where

00:44:27.860 I could just

00:44:28.300 call somebody

00:44:28.900 and say,

00:44:29.720 hey, I'm

00:44:30.080 incorporated in

00:44:30.900 Delaware,

00:44:32.340 send me the

00:44:32.880 paperwork to

00:44:33.460 make it

00:44:33.740 Texas.

00:44:34.740 And then I

00:44:35.200 just sign

00:44:35.640 something.

00:44:36.700 And then it's

00:44:37.200 just Texas.

00:44:37.700 So if that

00:44:39.480 existed and

00:44:41.740 I knew the

00:44:42.540 ins and

00:44:42.900 outs, I

00:44:43.440 would move

00:44:44.400 my corporation

00:44:45.100 immediately.

00:44:47.560 So if that

00:44:48.660 becomes the

00:44:49.500 thing, because

00:44:50.000 I think Delaware

00:44:50.620 has to be

00:44:51.160 broken.

00:44:53.360 I think Delaware

00:44:54.660 has to be just

00:44:55.380 bankrupted,

00:44:56.220 treated like

00:44:56.980 Gaza, basically.

00:44:58.700 If Delaware

00:44:59.380 is going to 1.00

00:44:59.900 fuck the rest 1.00

00:45:00.540 of the country, 1.00

00:45:01.520 well then fuck 1.00

00:45:02.160 Delaware. 1.00

00:45:03.120 You can just

00:45:03.740 drown in the

00:45:04.260 ocean.

00:45:05.540 Your whole 1.00

00:45:06.560 little fucking 1.00

00:45:07.120 little state 1.00

00:45:07.720 can go to 1.00

00:45:08.240 shit, as 1.00

00:45:08.740 far as I 1.00

00:45:09.160 care.

00:45:09.760 If you're

00:45:10.160 going to let

00:45:10.400 your politicians

00:45:11.100 or even your

00:45:11.900 appointed people

00:45:12.620 do this,

00:45:13.880 totally unacceptable.

00:45:16.420 And if every

00:45:17.040 corporation moved

00:45:17.780 down to Delaware

00:45:18.400 and sent them

00:45:20.340 back to the

00:45:20.840 Stone Age, I'd

00:45:21.580 be fine with

00:45:22.100 it.

00:45:23.200 Not really.

00:45:24.040 I'm just a

00:45:24.480 little mad about

00:45:25.000 it.

00:45:26.180 What I think

00:45:26.900 will happen is

00:45:28.000 that Musk will

00:45:28.680 renegotiate and

00:45:30.420 it will get

00:45:31.060 reinstated probably

00:45:32.920 when he gets

00:45:33.380 back in Texas.

00:45:37.120 Now, what is

00:45:38.140 not reported

00:45:38.840 is that when

00:45:40.480 his initial

00:45:41.620 pay package

00:45:42.240 was put

00:45:44.480 together, it

00:45:46.940 was considered

00:45:47.640 by smart

00:45:48.360 people the

00:45:49.880 most risky

00:45:51.580 pay package

00:45:52.320 any CEO

00:45:53.880 ever did

00:45:54.560 because his

00:45:55.540 odds of

00:45:56.040 making a

00:45:56.500 penny were

00:45:56.920 very low.

00:45:58.640 His odds

00:45:59.360 of making

00:46:00.000 a penny,

00:46:01.720 a penny,

00:46:03.100 literally,

00:46:04.420 were low.

00:46:05.060 very low.

00:46:07.120 But he 0.97

00:46:07.460 killed it.

00:46:08.260 He ten 0.95

00:46:08.880 timesed it

00:46:09.500 by now.

00:46:10.920 So the

00:46:11.400 odds of him

00:46:11.940 doing that,

00:46:12.680 ten timesing a

00:46:13.720 brand new

00:46:14.100 thing that is

00:46:14.960 in the

00:46:15.200 industry where

00:46:15.780 almost everybody

00:46:16.440 goes out of

00:46:16.920 business,

00:46:17.740 it was a

00:46:19.000 very fair

00:46:19.800 agreement that

00:46:21.780 everybody fully

00:46:22.680 understood.

00:46:24.140 So I don't

00:46:24.840 think the

00:46:25.140 basis for

00:46:25.820 overturning it

00:46:26.960 has any

00:46:28.840 basis at all.

00:46:32.080 All right.

00:46:32.460 energy drinks

00:46:35.400 are bad for

00:46:35.920 kids, says

00:46:36.960 a new

00:46:37.240 study.

00:46:38.280 It's bad

00:46:38.960 for their 0.99

00:46:39.240 brains, they 0.96

00:46:39.860 have more 0.99

00:46:40.140 mental 1.00

00:46:40.440 disorders.

00:46:42.080 And

00:46:42.520 imagine

00:46:45.020 your teenage

00:46:45.780 kid now,

00:46:46.500 if you have

00:46:46.980 like a 15

00:46:47.820 year old,

00:46:48.480 just imagine

00:46:49.080 him.

00:46:50.060 He's got a

00:46:50.840 phone in one

00:46:51.380 hand with a

00:46:53.180 TikTok,

00:46:54.040 destroying his 0.63

00:46:54.660 brain. 0.99

00:46:55.700 He's got a

00:46:56.620 vape in his

00:46:57.540 other hand,

00:46:59.180 destroying his 0.91

00:46:59.840 brain. 0.98

00:47:00.160 And sitting

00:47:01.980 next to him

00:47:02.480 is his

00:47:02.800 energy drink,

00:47:04.800 destroying his 0.76

00:47:05.580 brain. 0.99

00:47:08.760 That would

00:47:09.800 describe maybe

00:47:13.240 half of all

00:47:14.040 the teenagers.

00:47:16.060 I'll bet at

00:47:16.540 least half of

00:47:17.060 them are doing

00:47:17.540 all three every

00:47:18.240 day, or

00:47:19.960 something like

00:47:20.300 that.

00:47:20.880 I don't know

00:47:21.360 what the vaping 0.93

00:47:22.000 ratio is, but

00:47:22.800 it's terrible.

00:47:24.020 So, we

00:47:30.100 really don't 0.98

00:47:30.720 give a shit 0.99

00:47:31.180 about kids 1.00

00:47:31.700 anymore, do

00:47:32.240 we?

00:47:32.940 Did we ever?

00:47:34.280 Did we ever

00:47:35.060 care about the

00:47:35.660 well-being of

00:47:36.240 children?

00:47:38.060 I mean, we're

00:47:38.640 basically ripping 0.99

00:47:39.400 their balls off 1.00

00:47:41.040 and letting 0.99

00:47:42.420 them vape and

00:47:43.340 use their phone

00:47:44.060 all day at

00:47:44.600 work.

00:47:45.020 We're letting

00:47:45.340 them have

00:47:45.600 TikTok.

00:47:47.380 We're shipping

00:47:48.160 fentanyl in

00:47:49.060 because we

00:47:49.540 can't seem to

00:47:50.120 figure out how

00:47:50.760 to stop it.

00:47:51.340 We can stop

00:47:51.980 it.

00:47:52.200 But we

00:47:53.740 don't try

00:47:54.220 hard enough.

00:47:57.320 It doesn't

00:47:58.200 look like we

00:47:59.800 care about

00:48:00.260 children.

00:48:01.260 Look at the

00:48:01.660 teachers' 0.80

00:48:02.100 union.

00:48:02.960 The teachers'

00:48:03.640 union is

00:48:04.060 basically child

00:48:05.240 abuse.

00:48:07.280 All the

00:48:07.900 evidence suggests

00:48:08.600 we don't

00:48:08.960 care.

00:48:10.580 All the

00:48:11.040 evidence suggests

00:48:12.180 as a, you

00:48:13.300 know, we

00:48:13.560 definitely care

00:48:14.440 as parents,

00:48:15.740 but as a

00:48:16.900 system, we

00:48:17.740 definitely don't

00:48:18.380 care.

00:48:20.200 All right,

00:48:20.920 Christopher

00:48:21.440 Ray, head of

00:48:22.120 the FBI, warns

00:48:23.360 us that

00:48:23.680 Chinese hackers

00:48:24.500 have a 50

00:48:26.880 to 1

00:48:27.180 advantage over

00:48:27.900 our hackers,

00:48:28.660 just so many

00:48:29.280 of them, and

00:48:30.280 they've already

00:48:30.680 gotten into our

00:48:31.360 major infrastructure

00:48:32.160 and they could

00:48:32.780 shut down the

00:48:33.420 entire country 1.00

00:48:34.060 and kill us 1.00

00:48:34.660 all with a 1.00

00:48:36.500 stroke of a

00:48:37.080 pen.

00:48:39.120 Do you

00:48:39.660 believe that?

00:48:41.620 Do you

00:48:42.200 believe that

00:48:42.800 they're already

00:48:43.280 in all of our

00:48:44.060 systems and

00:48:44.600 they can shut

00:48:45.100 down everything

00:48:45.640 like critical

00:48:46.800 infrastructure?

00:48:48.080 Basically,

00:48:48.740 starve the

00:48:49.180 country if they

00:48:49.700 wanted to.

00:48:50.040 Well, maybe,

00:48:53.780 but didn't

00:48:54.360 they say that

00:48:54.880 about Ukraine?

00:48:56.940 Wasn't

00:48:57.460 Russia going to 0.86

00:48:58.360 take down

00:48:58.900 everything in 0.87

00:48:59.560 Ukraine with

00:49:00.180 their great

00:49:00.540 hacking?

00:49:02.180 And as far

00:49:03.840 as I know,

00:49:05.560 Ukraine had

00:49:06.460 no real

00:49:07.060 problems?

00:49:08.600 Am I wrong?

00:49:10.080 So I'm not

00:49:10.900 sure we know

00:49:11.380 how to predict

00:49:11.980 this stuff.

00:49:13.040 We might be

00:49:13.800 terrible at

00:49:14.300 predicting it

00:49:14.980 because we're

00:49:15.600 also terrible

00:49:16.160 at knowing

00:49:17.100 in advance

00:49:17.660 how we

00:49:18.040 would address

00:49:18.640 it.

00:49:19.540 Maybe we're

00:49:21.080 a little bit

00:49:21.600 better at

00:49:22.120 recovering.

00:49:23.700 I don't

00:49:23.840 know.

00:49:25.900 It's scary

00:49:26.600 as hell.

00:49:28.600 And then

00:49:28.920 also, at the

00:49:29.980 same time that

00:49:30.640 the FBI was

00:49:31.560 testifying about

00:49:33.520 how much

00:49:34.720 China has 0.91

00:49:36.140 hacked the

00:49:36.480 United States,

00:49:37.880 a Russian

00:49:38.600 group of

00:49:39.640 hackers were

00:49:40.260 hacking data

00:49:42.240 from the FBI.

00:49:43.000 that's right.

00:49:45.640 While

00:49:46.040 Christopher Wray

00:49:46.800 was testifying

00:49:47.560 about the

00:49:48.000 Chinese hacking 0.99

00:49:48.660 everything, 0.98

00:49:49.960 a bunch of

00:49:50.900 data was

00:49:51.920 being hacked

00:49:52.460 by Russian

00:49:53.000 ransomware

00:49:53.600 group, and

00:49:55.140 they got a

00:49:55.520 bunch of

00:49:55.820 data that

00:49:56.260 includes data

00:49:57.200 from the

00:49:57.600 FBI.

00:49:58.900 And that's

00:49:59.560 a lot of

00:49:59.960 it.

00:50:01.100 I don't know

00:50:01.620 exactly what

00:50:02.200 data they got

00:50:02.780 from the FBI,

00:50:03.620 but none of

00:50:03.960 that sounds

00:50:04.380 good.

00:50:07.540 Is this

00:50:08.180 bad news

00:50:08.700 or good?

00:50:11.020 I contend

00:50:11.940 that we

00:50:12.320 humans can't 0.99

00:50:12.980 tell the

00:50:13.280 difference

00:50:13.580 between good

00:50:14.300 news and

00:50:14.720 bad.

00:50:15.780 Do you

00:50:16.020 know how

00:50:16.340 I read

00:50:16.720 it?

00:50:18.080 Why would

00:50:18.740 you ever

00:50:19.120 use a

00:50:19.520 nuclear

00:50:19.820 bomb?

00:50:22.180 If this

00:50:22.840 is real,

00:50:24.000 why would

00:50:25.820 you ever

00:50:26.060 use a

00:50:26.360 nuclear

00:50:26.620 weapon?

00:50:28.440 And we

00:50:29.040 have mutually

00:50:29.580 assured

00:50:30.020 destruction

00:50:30.560 if it's

00:50:31.120 real.

00:50:31.780 If it's

00:50:32.380 real that

00:50:32.800 China has 0.91

00:50:33.260 already

00:50:33.660 burrowed

00:50:34.700 into our

00:50:35.060 system and

00:50:35.520 we can't

00:50:35.900 get them

00:50:36.140 out,

00:50:37.080 I feel

00:50:37.620 like it's

00:50:38.000 real that

00:50:38.360 we've done

00:50:38.700 the same

00:50:39.060 thing to

00:50:39.400 them.

00:50:40.500 In Russia,

00:50:41.300 the same

00:50:41.600 thing.

00:50:41.840 So did

00:50:43.540 we

00:50:43.760 somewhat,

00:50:45.140 without

00:50:46.020 realizing it,

00:50:47.600 drift into

00:50:48.360 a situation

00:50:49.000 where nuclear

00:50:49.760 war is

00:50:50.540 just sort 1.00

00:50:51.160 of stupid? 1.00

00:50:52.440 Because even 1.00

00:50:53.180 if you

00:50:53.500 wanted a

00:50:53.980 war of

00:50:54.720 tremendous

00:50:55.560 destruction,

00:50:56.820 you wouldn't

00:50:57.780 use a

00:50:58.120 nuke.

00:50:58.920 You just

00:50:59.620 push the

00:51:00.040 button on

00:51:00.420 your cyber

00:51:01.280 machine and

00:51:02.960 take them

00:51:03.360 down.

00:51:03.620 But even

00:51:06.500 an EMP

00:51:07.120 doesn't

00:51:07.560 make sense

00:51:08.200 if you

00:51:08.640 can take

00:51:09.020 them down

00:51:09.320 with a

00:51:09.620 hack.

00:51:10.380 Because

00:51:10.820 everybody

00:51:11.200 would agree

00:51:11.820 that if

00:51:13.180 you had a

00:51:13.520 choice,

00:51:14.380 you would

00:51:14.740 defeat your

00:51:15.220 enemies in

00:51:15.760 ways that

00:51:16.240 could be

00:51:16.520 easily

00:51:16.820 recoverable

00:51:17.580 for a

00:51:19.440 variety of

00:51:19.860 reasons.

00:51:21.720 So,

00:51:22.760 you know,

00:51:24.200 we might be

00:51:25.060 better off.

00:51:26.140 It's entirely

00:51:26.640 possible that

00:51:27.440 this increased

00:51:30.240 the ability

00:51:30.940 of humankind

00:51:32.100 to survive.

00:51:34.320 But it

00:51:35.120 could also

00:51:35.440 kill us 1.00

00:51:35.840 all. 1.00

00:51:40.360 I have an

00:51:41.140 idea that I

00:51:41.820 just want to

00:51:42.240 put out

00:51:42.620 there.

00:51:45.060 Why is it

00:51:45.860 that the

00:51:46.140 United States

00:51:46.800 doesn't have

00:51:47.660 personal

00:51:48.460 meetings with

00:51:49.740 the Ayatollah

00:51:50.740 and the

00:51:51.220 leadership of

00:51:51.920 Iran? 0.79

00:51:53.400 Now, I

00:51:54.020 think you're

00:51:54.440 going to

00:51:54.580 say, but 1.00

00:51:55.780 we've tried

00:51:56.780 and they

00:51:57.300 say no,

00:51:58.060 or you're

00:51:58.500 going to

00:51:58.620 say, but 1.00

00:51:59.520 you can

00:52:00.240 never meet

00:52:00.680 with terrorists

00:52:01.360 or,

00:52:02.100 but somebody

00:52:04.080 wouldn't like

00:52:04.760 it, or

00:52:05.400 there's some

00:52:06.520 reason, right?

00:52:08.680 Or they'll

00:52:09.940 refuse to

00:52:10.620 talk.

00:52:11.880 Do you

00:52:12.200 think any

00:52:12.680 of that

00:52:12.960 applies to

00:52:13.560 Trump?

00:52:15.660 I feel like

00:52:16.600 Trump could

00:52:17.040 say, here's

00:52:17.900 the deal.

00:52:18.840 I think

00:52:19.600 Trump could

00:52:20.120 do something

00:52:20.800 that would

00:52:22.460 be the

00:52:22.780 greatest

00:52:23.140 thing in

00:52:25.380 human

00:52:25.740 civilization.

00:52:27.940 He could

00:52:28.680 tell Putin

00:52:30.380 and she

00:52:31.160 and she

00:52:31.180 and the

00:52:32.100 Ayatollah.

00:52:33.200 I just

00:52:33.800 want to

00:52:34.040 be with

00:52:34.400 you guys

00:52:34.940 and maybe

00:52:35.360 one European

00:52:37.760 Union person

00:52:39.060 or NATO

00:52:39.540 or something

00:52:40.060 just to get

00:52:41.660 Europe involved

00:52:42.280 and just

00:52:43.380 say, look,

00:52:44.700 sit in the

00:52:45.140 room and

00:52:45.720 you say,

00:52:46.420 there are

00:52:47.100 four people

00:52:47.700 who can

00:52:48.020 destroy the

00:52:48.640 world,

00:52:49.160 maybe five.

00:52:50.820 It's us.

00:52:52.360 If the

00:52:52.960 five of us

00:52:53.520 decide not

00:52:54.160 to destroy

00:52:54.680 the world

00:52:55.180 and we

00:52:55.900 decide to

00:52:56.420 live in

00:52:56.780 peace,

00:52:57.240 we could

00:52:57.700 probably

00:52:58.020 work it

00:52:58.420 out because

00:53:00.040 we don't

00:53:00.680 really want

00:53:01.220 to occupy

00:53:02.520 China.

00:53:03.980 We don't

00:53:04.640 want to

00:53:05.060 occupy

00:53:05.920 Russia.

00:53:07.540 We sort

00:53:08.320 of want

00:53:08.600 to have

00:53:08.860 our own

00:53:09.280 domain of

00:53:09.860 influence.

00:53:10.900 We know

00:53:11.580 you're going

00:53:11.940 to have

00:53:12.180 your own

00:53:12.520 domain of

00:53:13.020 influence and

00:53:13.980 we should

00:53:14.300 just divide

00:53:14.940 up the

00:53:15.260 world now.

00:53:17.000 Just divide

00:53:17.580 it up.

00:53:19.700 Then you

00:53:20.220 said to

00:53:20.600 yourself,

00:53:21.700 Scott,

00:53:22.160 you're so

00:53:22.460 naive. 0.95

00:53:23.600 You can't

00:53:24.040 divide it

00:53:24.440 up because

00:53:24.720 we don't

00:53:25.080 agree who

00:53:26.020 owns what.

00:53:26.780 What are

00:53:27.360 you going

00:53:27.520 to do

00:53:27.680 about

00:53:27.880 Taiwan?

00:53:28.880 How are

00:53:29.200 you going

00:53:29.320 to divide

00:53:29.800 that up,

00:53:30.380 Scott?

00:53:31.180 I could

00:53:31.520 do that.

00:53:32.680 Here's how.

00:53:33.960 I say we

00:53:34.580 all agree that

00:53:35.260 China and

00:53:36.100 Taiwan should

00:53:36.660 be one

00:53:37.040 country,

00:53:37.860 so we'll

00:53:38.480 make a

00:53:38.820 100-year

00:53:39.460 plan to

00:53:40.640 put them

00:53:41.220 together.

00:53:42.040 Because in

00:53:42.720 100 years,

00:53:43.440 nothing's

00:53:43.840 predictable.

00:53:45.280 Nothing's

00:53:45.740 predictable.

00:53:46.620 We might

00:53:47.240 have no

00:53:47.680 need for

00:53:48.480 Taiwan

00:53:49.600 semiconductors.

00:53:51.660 China,

00:53:52.180 mainland,

00:53:52.800 might be a

00:53:53.300 democracy by

00:53:54.060 then.

00:53:55.240 Taiwan might

00:53:55.940 have turned

00:53:56.260 into a

00:53:56.620 dictatorship by

00:53:57.360 then.

00:53:58.320 Maybe

00:53:58.620 technology makes

00:53:59.580 governments

00:54:00.140 unnecessary.

00:54:01.560 Maybe the

00:54:01.960 robots have

00:54:02.520 changed everything.

00:54:03.360 Maybe AI is

00:54:04.080 doing everything.

00:54:05.360 So you

00:54:05.920 finesse it

00:54:07.060 because you

00:54:07.720 can't solve

00:54:08.260 it.

00:54:08.960 You just

00:54:09.360 say,

00:54:09.740 our plan

00:54:10.240 will be,

00:54:11.300 in 100

00:54:11.760 years,

00:54:12.860 Taiwan will 0.85

00:54:13.440 be a part

00:54:14.360 of China,

00:54:15.140 one way or

00:54:15.660 another.

00:54:16.440 If 100

00:54:17.160 years later

00:54:17.740 it's a bad

00:54:18.220 idea, you

00:54:18.740 just don't

00:54:19.180 do it.

00:54:20.560 That's it.

00:54:21.180 You just

00:54:21.420 renege.

00:54:21.840 Well, it's

00:54:22.760 been 100

00:54:23.100 years and

00:54:23.700 still we

00:54:25.280 think we

00:54:25.660 should be a

00:54:26.040 separate

00:54:26.240 country.

00:54:27.800 So you

00:54:28.080 just do

00:54:28.360 it.

00:54:29.040 But here's

00:54:29.460 what I

00:54:29.700 think Trump

00:54:30.340 could do

00:54:30.760 that no

00:54:31.200 one in

00:54:31.500 history could

00:54:31.980 do.

00:54:33.460 He could

00:54:34.000 put him

00:54:34.240 in the

00:54:34.440 same room

00:54:34.880 and he

00:54:35.900 could say

00:54:36.200 we literally,

00:54:37.180 the people

00:54:37.620 in this

00:54:37.920 room,

00:54:38.220 can decide

00:54:38.700 the future

00:54:39.200 of humanity.

00:54:40.900 I think

00:54:41.500 we should

00:54:41.800 decide to

00:54:42.300 all live.

00:54:43.480 I think

00:54:43.900 China could

00:54:44.480 do great

00:54:45.040 if you

00:54:45.740 just stop

00:54:46.220 messing with

00:54:46.960 us and

00:54:47.720 we can

00:54:48.040 stop messing

00:54:48.560 with you

00:54:48.960 and you

00:54:49.620 don't

00:54:49.780 try to

00:54:50.080 undermine

00:54:50.400 us.

00:54:51.220 How about

00:54:51.520 we stop

00:54:52.040 trying to

00:54:52.460 overthrow

00:54:52.800 Putin

00:54:53.240 and Putin

00:54:54.500 you stop

00:54:55.040 trying to

00:54:55.400 do whatever

00:54:55.860 it is

00:54:56.140 you're doing

00:54:56.420 with us.

00:54:57.820 Now I

00:54:58.560 think the

00:54:59.000 big complainers 0.99

00:55:00.440 to that

00:55:00.800 would be

00:55:01.260 American

00:55:01.840 because I

00:55:03.520 think a lot

00:55:04.020 of it is

00:55:04.400 about our

00:55:04.780 energy

00:55:05.180 companies

00:55:05.780 wanting to

00:55:06.320 maximize

00:55:06.720 their global

00:55:07.440 influence.

00:55:08.340 I don't

00:55:08.740 think it's

00:55:09.040 really political.

00:55:10.640 So Trump

00:55:11.380 is probably

00:55:11.820 the only

00:55:12.240 president who 0.90

00:55:13.420 could piss

00:55:14.220 off our

00:55:14.700 own energy

00:55:16.080 people and

00:55:18.440 say look

00:55:18.940 we won't

00:55:20.040 bug you

00:55:20.520 Russia 0.65

00:55:20.880 just go

00:55:22.280 pull your

00:55:22.720 energy

00:55:23.000 out of

00:55:23.280 the ground

00:55:23.640 we'll

00:55:23.940 compete

00:55:24.320 on level

00:55:25.200 playing field

00:55:25.880 but we're

00:55:26.920 not going

00:55:27.160 to try

00:55:27.360 to take

00:55:27.680 your energy

00:55:28.220 or close

00:55:29.000 you off

00:55:29.320 our markets

00:55:29.820 we're just

00:55:30.180 going to

00:55:30.420 try to

00:55:30.680 outcompete

00:55:31.120 you.

00:55:32.140 I think

00:55:32.900 Trump

00:55:33.240 could sell

00:55:33.820 a grand

00:55:35.200 bargain

00:55:35.620 in a way

00:55:37.560 that similar

00:55:38.560 to how he

00:55:39.080 went to

00:55:39.460 North Korea

00:55:40.060 and similar

00:55:42.320 to how his

00:55:43.460 administration

00:55:43.980 got an

00:55:44.560 Abraham

00:55:44.880 Accord

00:55:45.380 he's a

00:55:47.140 singular

00:55:47.700 creature.

00:55:48.940 and when

00:55:49.800 he walks

00:55:50.260 into a

00:55:50.700 room

00:55:51.040 everybody

00:55:51.960 else in

00:55:52.440 the room

00:55:52.740 becomes a

00:55:53.280 deal

00:55:53.460 maker.

00:55:55.460 Think about

00:55:56.280 that.

00:55:57.100 When Trump

00:55:57.620 walks in

00:55:58.080 the room

00:55:58.460 the other

00:55:59.760 leaders

00:56:00.220 turn into

00:56:01.060 deal makers

00:56:01.660 because he's

00:56:03.120 a deal maker

00:56:03.620 and that's

00:56:04.480 how you have

00:56:04.920 to deal

00:56:05.200 with him.

00:56:06.100 So he

00:56:06.400 could actually

00:56:06.840 change people

00:56:07.600 into deal

00:56:08.160 makers and I

00:56:08.920 think he

00:56:09.220 could sell

00:56:09.720 a grand

00:56:10.320 bargain

00:56:10.740 where we

00:56:11.740 decide to

00:56:13.300 have peace

00:56:14.140 in the

00:56:14.380 Middle East

00:56:14.940 Taiwan

00:56:15.940 and you

00:56:17.160 just basically

00:56:17.780 settle all

00:56:18.600 of it.

00:56:19.420 Just settle

00:56:19.880 all of it.

00:56:21.480 And you

00:56:22.500 know some

00:56:22.800 of it with

00:56:23.160 the timer

00:56:23.620 saying well

00:56:24.520 we can't

00:56:25.000 settle Gaza 0.70

00:56:25.740 but we

00:56:26.840 got this

00:56:27.260 50 year

00:56:27.860 plan to

00:56:28.500 do something

00:56:29.120 this or

00:56:29.720 that.

00:56:30.900 Only Trump

00:56:31.680 could do

00:56:32.020 that.

00:56:33.100 Only Trump.

00:56:34.500 He could

00:56:35.100 actually create

00:56:36.000 something like

00:56:36.860 peace till

00:56:37.580 the end of

00:56:38.000 time.

00:56:39.580 Good.

00:56:40.120 All right

00:56:43.360 here's my

00:56:45.060 update on

00:56:45.620 national debt

00:56:46.380 and my

00:56:47.860 update is

00:56:48.320 always why

00:56:49.280 don't I

00:56:49.660 understand

00:56:50.120 this.

00:56:51.500 Why is it

00:56:51.980 that when we

00:56:53.020 thought we'd

00:56:53.540 run up the

00:56:54.000 debt to a

00:56:54.480 trillion dollars

00:56:55.240 one trillion

00:56:55.980 we thought we

00:56:57.100 were doomed

00:56:57.620 but now that

00:56:59.000 it's 35

00:57:00.460 trillion or

00:57:01.200 whatever it

00:57:01.560 is we're

00:57:03.060 not doomed.

00:57:04.760 How could

00:57:05.440 we be off

00:57:06.040 by a factor

00:57:06.900 of 35

00:57:07.520 now time

00:57:08.820 value of

00:57:09.300 money it's

00:57:09.720 not 35

00:57:10.300 maybe it's

00:57:11.120 more like

00:57:11.440 10.

00:57:13.580 But 10

00:57:14.980 times bigger

00:57:16.680 than a

00:57:17.260 catastrophic

00:57:17.680 number?

00:57:19.860 Why are

00:57:20.580 we all

00:57:20.900 alive?

00:57:23.440 Then I

00:57:23.960 hear smart

00:57:25.760 people who

00:57:26.440 know more

00:57:26.740 than I do

00:57:27.180 say but

00:57:28.320 our debt

00:57:28.700 to GDP

00:57:29.260 is still

00:57:30.000 lower than

00:57:30.500 Japan and

00:57:31.160 like way

00:57:31.580 lower and

00:57:32.620 Japan's not 1.00

00:57:33.280 going under

00:57:34.180 so as

00:57:35.840 long as

00:57:36.240 our GDP

00:57:36.840 grows we

00:57:38.280 can handle

00:57:38.840 ever increasing

00:57:39.700 debt.

00:57:41.440 Now that's

00:57:42.320 true if

00:57:43.800 the rates

00:57:44.460 are right.

00:57:46.740 So in

00:57:47.000 other words

00:57:47.480 if the

00:57:47.900 rate of

00:57:48.960 growth of

00:57:49.520 our debt

00:57:50.020 is slower

00:57:50.880 than the

00:57:51.360 rate of

00:57:51.840 growth of

00:57:52.260 our GDP

00:57:52.820 we'll be

00:57:53.980 fine.

00:57:55.740 But is

00:57:57.040 that happening?

00:57:59.140 I feel like

00:58:00.060 our debt is

00:58:00.620 growing faster

00:58:01.360 than our GDP

00:58:02.080 but I haven't

00:58:02.660 looked into it.

00:58:04.040 I feel like

00:58:04.620 there's no

00:58:05.060 chance that

00:58:05.600 that works.

00:58:06.200 but I

00:58:07.480 saw

00:58:07.660 Mnuchin

00:58:08.160 acting like

00:58:08.800 well you

00:58:09.200 know our

00:58:10.180 debt to

00:58:10.780 GDP is

00:58:11.400 fine.

00:58:13.400 You know

00:58:13.600 we can't

00:58:14.160 let it

00:58:14.400 get higher

00:58:14.840 but you

00:58:15.280 know we're

00:58:16.500 in a zone

00:58:17.280 where it's

00:58:17.680 not going

00:58:17.960 to kill

00:58:18.180 us. 1.00

00:58:20.760 So yes

00:58:21.600 our debt

00:58:22.100 is greater

00:58:22.580 than our

00:58:22.980 GDP but

00:58:23.740 Japan's debt

00:58:24.580 is even

00:58:25.140 greater than

00:58:26.700 our ratio

00:58:27.360 of debt

00:58:28.680 to GDP.

00:58:29.540 Like a lot

00:58:30.080 it's a lot

00:58:30.580 more actually.

00:58:32.040 So I

00:58:33.120 will just

00:58:33.500 say as

00:58:34.160 Mnuchin

00:58:34.880 says as

00:58:36.040 long as

00:58:36.540 the United

00:58:36.920 States has

00:58:37.500 better

00:58:37.880 currency than

00:58:38.760 the other

00:58:39.100 places we

00:58:41.700 kind of

00:58:42.140 limp along.

00:58:43.740 But if

00:58:44.180 anybody ever

00:58:44.740 came up

00:58:45.200 with a

00:58:45.440 currency that

00:58:46.040 was better

00:58:46.460 than the

00:58:47.180 dollar we'd

00:58:47.740 be in big

00:58:48.140 trouble.

00:58:48.980 And I do

00:58:49.540 see that that's

00:58:50.140 a possibility

00:58:50.760 someday.

00:58:52.300 Maybe a

00:58:52.740 digital currency.

00:58:54.100 All right

00:58:54.240 let's talk

00:58:54.600 about Israel.

00:58:56.040 I'm not

00:58:56.740 going to give

00:58:57.100 you the

00:58:57.360 number because

00:58:58.620 it's so

00:58:59.080 unreliable.

00:58:59.900 well but

00:59:00.800 Hamas is 0.99

00:59:02.700 coming out

00:59:03.160 with a new

00:59:04.000 set of

00:59:04.340 numbers for

00:59:04.960 what they

00:59:05.360 claim are

00:59:05.800 the deaths

00:59:06.240 and claim

00:59:07.340 are the

00:59:07.800 injured.

00:59:08.660 Now by

00:59:09.060 any measure

00:59:09.720 it's way

00:59:10.640 too many

00:59:11.040 people being

00:59:12.580 killed and

00:59:13.040 injured.

00:59:13.960 So from

00:59:14.660 the human

00:59:15.300 being perspective

00:59:16.180 we should all

00:59:16.960 acknowledge that

00:59:18.220 one death is

00:59:19.180 too many and

00:59:20.520 this many is

00:59:21.340 just an

00:59:22.180 alarming

00:59:22.500 frightening

00:59:22.980 figure.

00:59:24.020 But if

00:59:24.940 you don't

00:59:25.280 see the

00:59:25.780 play that's

00:59:26.280 developing you

00:59:27.580 should.

00:59:28.480 Because if

00:59:29.120 Hamas can 0.84

00:59:29.820 lie that

00:59:30.740 number up

00:59:31.300 big enough

00:59:31.940 and they're

00:59:32.540 doing a

00:59:32.860 good job

00:59:33.220 of it

00:59:33.560 they've

00:59:34.860 got a

00:59:35.140 number that

00:59:35.620 essentially

00:59:36.300 it's checkmate

00:59:38.900 or check

00:59:39.900 with the

00:59:40.900 Holocaust 0.95

00:59:41.240 narrative.

00:59:43.420 In other

00:59:43.780 words it's

00:59:44.960 going to be

00:59:45.320 tough for

00:59:46.120 Israel to

00:59:46.640 be the

00:59:47.440 special

00:59:48.620 country who

00:59:49.300 needs everybody's

00:59:50.320 special attention

00:59:51.080 because the

00:59:52.500 Holocaust once 0.99

00:59:53.340 happened.

00:59:55.240 You could say

00:59:56.180 more than once

00:59:56.880 because the

00:59:57.420 Jews have had 0.99

00:59:58.000 kind of a

00:59:58.780 tough history.

00:59:59.820 But if

01:00:02.120 Hamas can 0.84

01:00:03.280 succeed in

01:00:05.260 propagandizing

01:00:07.480 the rest of

01:00:08.060 the world

01:00:08.420 which is not

01:00:09.200 nearly as

01:00:09.800 pro-Israel as

01:00:10.720 you think they

01:00:11.180 might be

01:00:11.660 to believe that

01:00:13.860 the death

01:00:14.320 count in

01:00:14.840 Gaza is some 0.96

01:00:15.800 ridiculously high

01:00:17.440 number that

01:00:19.300 just completely

01:00:20.180 kneecaps the

01:00:22.140 strongest asset

01:00:22.980 in Israel

01:00:23.560 which is they

01:00:24.640 have this

01:00:25.040 historical

01:00:26.380 past that

01:00:28.880 in a way it

01:00:30.340 gives them a

01:00:30.760 superpower.

01:00:32.280 Because people

01:00:32.960 say well I

01:00:33.640 understand that

01:00:34.320 given your

01:00:35.860 history it makes

01:00:36.480 sense that you'd

01:00:37.140 be very

01:00:38.500 concerned about

01:00:39.160 security.

01:00:40.340 So

01:00:40.780 anyway

01:00:43.100 Hamas is very 0.99

01:00:44.740 close to

01:00:45.480 winning the

01:00:46.600 propaganda war

01:00:47.560 simply by

01:00:48.920 ratcheting up the

01:00:50.260 number of people

01:00:50.780 they claim died

01:00:51.640 whether that's

01:00:52.440 accurate or not.

01:00:53.220 so that's why

01:00:54.520 I'm not going to

01:00:54.940 give you their

01:00:55.320 number because

01:00:56.000 that would be

01:00:56.420 helping them

01:00:56.900 with their

01:00:57.200 propaganda.

01:00:59.660 All right

01:01:00.000 and I'll say

01:01:01.620 again the one

01:01:02.840 and only way I

01:01:03.660 can see this

01:01:04.320 going is that

01:01:06.460 Israel will 1.00

01:01:07.420 keep the West

01:01:08.680 Bank forever

01:01:09.320 they'll keep

01:01:09.900 Gaza forever 0.99

01:01:10.640 they'll keep it

01:01:11.980 under Israeli

01:01:14.320 control

01:01:14.940 probably with

01:01:16.880 some you

01:01:18.240 know Saudi

01:01:19.240 or Jordanian

01:01:20.320 or Palestinian

01:01:21.720 you know to

01:01:23.120 do the

01:01:23.540 picking up the

01:01:24.140 garbage and

01:01:24.640 the basic 0.98

01:01:25.020 stuff of

01:01:25.520 government

01:01:25.920 but obviously

01:01:27.140 Israel will 1.00

01:01:27.860 keep military

01:01:28.660 security control

01:01:29.760 there's no way

01:01:30.660 they're going to

01:01:31.020 give that up

01:01:31.600 and if they

01:01:33.140 get control

01:01:33.720 of the schools

01:01:34.640 it probably

01:01:35.780 takes them

01:01:36.280 one or two

01:01:36.760 generations to

01:01:37.680 brainwash the

01:01:38.520 kids to not

01:01:40.160 want to destroy

01:01:40.840 everything in 0.98

01:01:41.400 Israel every day 1.00

01:01:42.120 so I think

01:01:44.020 that's the plan

01:01:44.720 now that

01:01:46.220 would require

01:01:46.840 50 years

01:01:48.020 refugees or

01:01:48.880 whatever

01:01:49.280 of refugees

01:01:52.180 basically

01:01:53.380 so what do

01:01:55.060 you do with

01:01:55.420 the people

01:01:55.800 who are

01:01:57.020 displaced from

01:01:57.940 Gaza

01:01:58.300 I have no

01:01:59.820 idea

01:02:00.280 you know they

01:02:02.340 can't obviously

01:02:03.240 they can't kill 1.00

01:02:04.240 them all 1.00

01:02:04.720 they can't starve

01:02:05.860 them

01:02:06.160 they're not going

01:02:07.040 to go to other

01:02:07.580 countries but

01:02:08.580 they're not going

01:02:09.120 to go back to

01:02:09.700 Gaza and just

01:02:10.640 pick up where

01:02:11.700 they left off

01:02:12.420 and if they did

01:02:12.980 it would take

01:02:13.360 years

01:02:13.740 so what's

01:02:16.540 going to happen

01:02:17.000 I feel like

01:02:19.080 they're just

01:02:19.400 going to build

01:02:19.820 a new

01:02:20.180 civilization

01:02:20.860 in tents

01:02:22.160 and you

01:02:23.960 know the

01:02:24.280 level of the

01:02:25.700 tenting will

01:02:26.440 improve until

01:02:27.240 somebody builds

01:02:27.860 a building

01:02:28.280 and then it

01:02:29.440 will just

01:02:29.660 become its

01:02:30.120 own little

01:02:30.480 city

01:02:30.820 so I think

01:02:32.300 wherever they're

01:02:33.420 at at the

01:02:33.940 moment

01:02:34.300 probably in

01:02:35.480 some big

01:02:35.940 desert area

01:02:36.760 it's probably

01:02:38.180 where they'll

01:02:38.560 be forever

01:02:39.080 we're the

01:02:41.760 first Mars

01:02:42.820 colony

01:02:43.280 that we

01:02:44.340 call

01:02:44.620 Moscow

01:02:45.420 all right

01:02:46.700 that's a

01:02:49.900 tight hour

01:02:50.700 of live

01:02:51.840 streaming

01:02:52.120 I'm going

01:02:53.500 to leave

01:02:53.700 it there

01:02:54.000 go do

01:02:54.800 some things

01:02:55.360 I've got

01:02:58.020 special guests

01:02:59.560 coming in a

01:03:00.320 few hours

01:03:00.880 do you all

01:03:02.380 know Zuby

01:03:03.140 Zuby is

01:03:05.240 doing a

01:03:05.740 world tour

01:03:06.620 talking to

01:03:07.860 people all

01:03:08.920 over the

01:03:09.220 world

01:03:09.460 so he'll

01:03:10.140 be stopping

01:03:10.660 by

01:03:10.960 and he

01:03:13.140 will be

01:03:13.520 the first

01:03:14.820 in-person

01:03:16.980 interview

01:03:17.540 I've done

01:03:20.320 in three

01:03:20.680 years

01:03:21.100 have I done

01:03:22.060 any in-person

01:03:22.800 interviews since

01:03:23.620 the pandemic

01:03:24.380 I can't remember

01:03:26.300 any but he'll

01:03:27.220 be here in the

01:03:27.860 house and

01:03:28.960 that's why he

01:03:29.840 does better than

01:03:30.960 other people

01:03:31.440 because he goes

01:03:32.080 to you

01:03:32.440 and that's a

01:03:33.420 pretty strong

01:03:33.880 model
