Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2375 CWSA 02⧸05⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.160 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and if you've never enjoyed this experience, my God,

00:00:15.220 I feel good for you.

00:00:16.900 Lucky, lucky you if this is your first time here.

00:00:19.720 Now, if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that I know nobody can even understand

00:00:24.280 with their puny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank 0.73

00:00:28.320 or chalice or stein.

00:00:29.400 A canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:33.780 I like coffee.

00:00:35.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing makes

00:00:40.740 everything better.

00:00:41.560 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:45.020 I hope you're prepared.

00:00:45.980 Go.

00:00:50.240 Oh, my God, that's good.

00:00:52.760 Sometimes the sip is genuinely delightful.

00:00:59.400 Well, 2024 is going to be the funniest year.

00:01:03.900 And for some reason, I think all of the news today is more funny than serious, even though

00:01:10.440 it's serious.

00:01:11.660 So we'll just jump into it.

00:01:13.700 First of all, you might know there's a big rainstorm happening here in California.

00:01:17.380 Southern California, in the last day or so, has gotten two to four inches of rain, and

00:01:24.220 checking all the details.

00:01:26.300 And the rain has washed away almost one to two inches of fecal matter on the sidewalks.

00:01:33.500 So rain is up two to four inches in L.A., but fecal matter is down one to two inches.

00:01:39.620 I think we're moving in the right direction.

00:01:41.620 So I call that all good news.

00:01:44.420 If you subscribe to the Dilbert comic, which can only be seen on X, if you're a subscriber,

00:01:51.500 just look at my profile, or on the Locals platform, scottadams.locals.com, you would know

00:01:57.960 that today introduces a new character, Dilbert's company is hiring a spokesperson, but they

00:02:04.780 can't afford Taylor Swift, so they did the best they could, and they're introducing a

00:02:09.700 new character today, their new spokesperson, Taylor Not-So-Swift.

00:02:15.560 Taylor Not-So-Swift.

00:02:17.640 And it doesn't go well.

00:02:21.560 I don't want to be a spoiler, but it doesn't go well.

00:02:25.080 That's all I'm saying.

00:02:25.800 There's a story in the New York Post that covers all the big stories, you know, the news you

00:02:31.480 need to know, that there was a location in San Diego in which a massage parlor was shared

00:02:37.880 a wall with a church, and the church people were being bothered by all the alleged prostitution 0.79

00:02:44.220 sex sounds coming from the massage parlor.

00:02:48.500 But this raises some questions.

00:02:50.280 How can you tell the difference between sounds of sex and sounds of church?

00:02:59.280 Because a lot of it is the same.

00:03:03.060 Get on your knees and open your mouth. 0.70

00:03:06.140 Is that sex, or is that a Catholic ritual with a cracker? 0.89

00:03:12.380 You tell me.

00:03:15.460 How about, whoa, whoa, whoa, sex sound or possible religious experience?

00:03:25.000 Very much the same.

00:03:26.120 I just have some questions about this story.

00:03:28.800 It could have been two churches next to each other, and they both thought the other one

00:03:32.020 was a massage parlor, but we have to dig into this a little more.

00:03:34.620 Now, in the fake news category, how many of you saw RFK Jr. apparently pick up a deadly

00:03:42.160 snake from the ground, a rattlesnake, with his bare hands?

00:03:46.080 Did anybody see that?

00:03:48.660 Did you know that the video was reversed?

00:03:53.120 He was actually putting a deadly snake on the ground.

00:03:56.480 But wait, but wait, it's fake news because they reversed it, but then it's fake news, then

00:04:05.120 it's fake news, because how did he get it in his hands in the first place?

00:04:10.000 Ah, ah, it's fake news about the fake news.

00:04:13.760 They did reverse the video, but he got it in his hands somehow.

00:04:18.380 Now, how many of you knew it was a fake video the moment you saw it?

00:04:24.020 I did.

00:04:24.740 And let me tell you why.

00:04:28.420 Because if you've ever known anybody who picked up deadly snakes, I actually have some friends

00:04:33.780 who pick up deadly snakes when they see them.

00:04:38.120 Yeah, it's like a thing.

00:04:39.540 If you know how to do it, you can do it pretty much every time without getting bitten.

00:04:44.540 Now, the way I would do it is I'd use maybe a stick with a Y-shaped to pin its head down,

00:04:52.400 and then you grab it by its neck, and it can't really get to you because you're holding it by its neck.

00:04:58.480 But importantly, you always pick up the neck first.

00:05:03.680 In other words, there is no situation in which you would lean down, which is what the video showed

00:05:09.120 when it was reversed, there's no situation in which you would try to grab the neck and the tail simultaneously.

00:05:16.080 Because if you put any attention to the tail, you're going to lose your hand.

00:05:20.440 So you put all of your attention on getting the neck, period.

00:05:27.220 So when it was reversed, it looked like he was grabbing it with both hands at the same time.

00:05:31.840 You would never do that.

00:05:33.280 But you might put it down with two hands.

00:05:35.780 And that's what it was.

00:05:37.900 So, yes, it's fake news, but he did pick up that snake.

00:05:45.040 Right?

00:05:45.700 How else does it get in your hand?

00:05:47.460 Do you think somebody else picked it up and handed it to him?

00:05:50.560 It's possible.

00:05:52.240 But if he was that comfortable putting it down, almost certainly he was comfortable picking it up.

00:05:58.700 It's a thing.

00:05:59.460 People learn how to pick up snakes.

00:06:01.420 So I don't know the details, but I imagine he did pick it up at one point.

00:06:06.360 All right.

00:06:07.340 Here's another problem of fake news.

00:06:09.900 There's a story in the New York Post that Biden called Netanyahu a bad effing guy.

00:06:15.440 Because the Gaza war is going to cost Biden votes.

00:06:20.000 So that's news, right?

00:06:21.900 An anonymous report that Biden said something terrible behind closed doors.

00:06:29.100 What would I say if this was a Trump story?

00:06:33.620 If there were a Trump story about one anonymous source who said that Trump did something terrible or, you know, embarrassing behind closed doors, I wouldn't believe it for one second.

00:06:46.720 So, in a rare moment of non-hypocrisy, I'm not going to believe this one either.

00:06:55.360 I do not believe that Biden said behind closed doors what is reported.

00:07:02.200 However, if he did, why would I care?

00:07:05.660 Why would I care?

00:07:07.360 This is nothing.

00:07:08.220 You don't think that Biden should feel a bad feeling about Netanyahu right now?

00:07:14.260 Because it is going to cost him the election, probably.

00:07:17.820 And you don't think that Netanyahu is maybe doing things that Biden doesn't want him to do, and therefore he's got a bad feeling?

00:07:26.180 Of course he does.

00:07:26.820 Why would we have any problem with Biden having this opinion?

00:07:30.960 I wouldn't.

00:07:32.480 No.

00:07:33.160 No.

00:07:33.720 I mean, we still work with Israel productively, but it doesn't mean we don't carp about each other in private, you know, half the time.

00:07:42.160 So I'd say it's a non-story, but it's also probably the lowest level of credibility in the news, which is one anonymous source saying something bad about a potential president, or, yeah, president, in an election year.

00:07:54.460 You cannot get to a lower level of credibility than that story.

00:08:01.060 Anonymous source, presidential year.

00:08:03.420 Period.

00:08:05.520 It might be true.

00:08:06.600 I wouldn't care about it either way.

00:08:08.260 Meanwhile, nuclear power is growing everywhere except in the United States.

00:08:11.780 The Czech government just decided to go from building one new reactor to four, so nuclear is the way to power the Czech government.

00:08:21.560 So that's the good news.

00:08:22.580 I feel like sanity won out.

00:08:25.840 And you know what's weird?

00:08:27.340 We would never have all this nuclear power if not for climate alarmism.

00:08:32.680 You can never predict the future, can you?

00:08:35.200 If somebody had told you 20 years ago we're going to have climate alarmism, and that will be the thing that really boosts the adoption of nuclear energy.

00:08:45.180 That would have sounded ridiculous, because the people against nuclear were also against, you know, all forms of carbon.

00:08:53.200 But very slowly, it took decades.

00:08:58.180 The people who were sane and knew a little bit more about the topic finally convinced people that they were looking at the risk-reward wrong, and that there was definitely ways to handle the waste.

00:09:10.980 We do it now.

00:09:11.960 You just keep it in barrels on the site where it was produced.

00:09:14.580 And that it's safer than the alternatives, and that there's such a long track record, we can say that with a lot of confidence.

00:09:22.980 It's safer than the alternatives.

00:09:24.040 All right, so that's just a victory lap, because, you know, as you know, I spent years trying to convince people that nuclear was a better risk-reward than the alternatives.

00:09:35.720 But it seems to be worldwide recognition of that.

00:09:40.040 So congratulations to everybody who is sort of on the same side with sanity.

00:09:45.880 In a weird little story, the Grammys were last night, and I guess he'd be called Rapper, yeah, Rapper Killer Mike, got arrested right after the Grammys.

00:09:58.460 So the police actually handcuffed him and took him away from the Grammys.

00:10:03.720 I mean, not while he was on stage, but, like, right afterwards.

00:10:06.820 So he has this incredible night where he's saying, you know, you can't tell me you're too old, or it's never too late, because I don't know what age he is, but he's not a young guy.

00:10:18.800 And he won big at the Grammys, having one of the best days of his life, and the police decide to arrest him.

00:10:30.620 Now, did you know that he's not a pro-Biden guy?

00:10:34.960 He's not pro-Biden.

00:10:36.120 He was a pro-Bernie guy, and apparently there's some reporting today that he's been friendly with some Republicans in his state.

00:10:47.380 So, yeah, we don't know what he was arrested for.

00:10:53.400 Maybe he was arrested because his name is Killer Mike, and maybe that's enough.

00:11:00.360 Maybe he shouldn't label himself.

00:11:01.920 But I have a feeling he's getting hunted.

00:11:08.160 I have a feeling that the Biden administration doesn't like that he's not pro-Biden, and that could end up accidentally being pro-Trump, even though there's no indication he's pro-Trump.

00:11:18.660 I think they see the beginning of the crack where the black men in particular are making economic decisions about the future. 0.97

00:11:29.320 Hey, I had more money under Trump.

00:11:31.300 And I think the black women probably are going to stay in the Democrat tent. 1.00

00:11:36.960 So I'm hearing that there's a schism in the black community over politics, the men and the women going different directions.

00:11:44.800 Now, that's happening as well in other communities, but maybe not as starkly.

00:11:50.380 So I guess we'll find out about that later.

00:11:57.960 Some store owners in, let's see, where is this, in the Bronx, 46th Precinct, they've given up on regular processes for handling their shoplifters.

00:12:08.220 And instead, they have a WhatsApp process where they call a cop directly.

00:12:15.860 So if they're getting shoplifted, instead of calling the police who would assign somebody, if you're lucky, to go handle it, they call the cop directly on WhatsApp.

00:12:25.960 And they say, hey, there's a shoplifter in here right now.

00:12:28.840 Come over here.

00:12:29.600 And it's working.

00:12:31.120 You know, it's not ending shoplifting.

00:12:32.580 But apparently, the police do get there in time, and, you know, they do, they have some kind of chilling effect.

00:12:40.340 I don't know if they're getting arrested and released or what's happening.

00:12:42.960 But they say it's working.

00:12:44.420 I would say that they should take this to a higher level.

00:12:48.060 I believe that when a store is getting, if it has a shoplifter, there should be an app with one button.

00:12:54.080 But it should not only tell you that, it should not only go to the police.

00:13:00.220 I think it should be available to anybody you see.

00:13:03.180 I would want to know if a shop is getting shoplifted at the moment, because I wouldn't go in.

00:13:09.040 It's like an extra risk.

00:13:10.820 So wouldn't you like to have the shoplifting app where you could report one as it's happening, and not just the police, they would also be on it, but not just the police, but everybody would be alerted?

00:13:22.540 Now, you might say to yourself, but, Scott, that could create a wave of vigilantism.

00:13:28.740 Oh, wouldn't that be terrible?

00:13:30.280 Oh, no, let's not have any vigilantism to protect the only stores that will give you food and medicine in your own town.

00:13:39.860 Yeah, you don't want any vigilantism to protect your ability to have a good life.

00:13:45.700 You certainly wouldn't want the shoplifters to be inconvenienced with all your vigilantism.

00:13:50.420 No, I'm against violence.

00:13:52.500 No violence.

00:13:53.180 It's just be careful what you're asking for.

00:13:58.940 Well, there's an AI brothel in Berlin, which is a total surprise that this would happen first in Berlin. 0.70

00:14:06.580 You know, a lot of you think that the worst thing that Germany ever did was World War II, but that's only if you've never seen their porn. 0.76

00:14:16.060 I'll just wait a minute for the guys who have seen German porn to be laughing.

00:14:22.900 You know what I mean.

00:14:24.320 Not that I've ever seen it.

00:14:26.080 You don't want to see it for long.

00:14:30.600 It's not as bad as Japanese porn, but it's not that I've ever seen it.

00:14:38.720 All right.

00:14:41.000 So now they've got this sex doll that doesn't move, but you can use AI to have a virtual reality experience of it talking to you and moving.

00:14:51.440 So I guess the model is your virtual reality sees a virtual version, but then you can have sex with it in the real world while I think you're imagining the virtual one at the same time.

00:15:04.780 So that's happening.

00:15:06.080 And some are saying, I wonder if this will, you know, be competitive with real-life humans.

00:15:13.720 Well, I'm going to make a prediction.

00:15:16.640 I think it's going to put humans out of business.

00:15:20.160 Because if this is totally legal, and I imagine it will be totally legal in some places, but not everywhere.

00:15:26.700 If this becomes totally legal and the technology keeps improving,

00:15:31.560 the OnlyFans girls are going to have to find another job because people might just prefer the virtual versions. 1.00

00:15:42.180 We'll see.

00:15:42.700 My prediction is, in the short run, it'll be an oddity.

00:15:46.580 In the long run, you're going to prefer the virtual reality sex over a prostitute. 0.98

00:15:52.560 You won't prefer it over real sex with somebody you're in love with or even, you know, somebody who wants to have sex with you.

00:16:00.260 But probably, if you factor in the obesity and the bad health and the aging population, 0.98

00:16:08.160 I think we're getting to the point where 80% of adults won't have a sexual option.

00:16:14.920 We might be there already.

00:16:16.480 I don't know.

00:16:17.240 Do you ever walk down the street and look at the public and say, how many of them are going to have sex today?

00:16:21.720 Because who would?

00:16:24.960 Do you ever have that?

00:16:26.540 Have you ever done that?

00:16:27.720 Just look at the public and say, all right, I wonder if that one's getting laid today. 1.00

00:16:32.860 How in the world could that even happen?

00:16:35.180 How about that one?

00:16:36.960 Nope.

00:16:39.200 I don't think so.

00:16:41.900 We might already be at the point where 80% of adults are not having sex because nobody wants to have sex with them.

00:16:47.720 I don't see any way that this doesn't become huge as the technology improves.

00:16:54.380 It might take a while.

00:16:56.300 But there's no way that humans are going to be competitive when a human doesn't want to get anywhere near your obese body.

00:17:04.600 All right.

00:17:06.360 The mayor of Chicago was complaining at an event.

00:17:10.740 He was in public.

00:17:11.560 I guess the press was talking to him.

00:17:12.940 And he was complaining that people were asking him why he hasn't visited the border because he complains about migration, but he hasn't visited the border.

00:17:21.600 I'm not sure a mayor needs to do that.

00:17:23.880 You know, mayor of Chicago.

00:17:24.960 I don't know that that's really important.

00:17:26.560 But he defended himself and he said, I'm doing all this with a black wife raising three black kids.

00:17:32.880 And he sort of went to that, you know, he reemphasized about his black wife and his black kids.

00:17:38.740 Now, he's black, but I'm a little confused.

00:17:43.920 Is he being racist against his own family?

00:17:47.280 Because what was the necessity of mentioning, I don't know, three to five times that they're black? 0.52

00:17:55.300 I mean, we didn't care.

00:17:57.460 Nobody was asking about that.

00:17:58.800 Hey, hey, mayor, what color is your family?

00:18:01.720 Nobody cared.

00:18:03.240 I don't believe it was ever a topic.

00:18:05.820 So why did he put it in there?

00:18:07.820 Why does he say that he doesn't have time specifically because he has a black wife?

00:18:13.600 And he doesn't have time because he has three black kids.

00:18:17.040 How do you read that other than he's discriminated against his own family for being black?

00:18:24.780 I mean, seriously, I'm not making a joke.

00:18:26.840 Is he not saying that my family is more work because they're black?

00:18:32.900 How else can you interpret it?

00:18:35.020 I mean, I don't care.

00:18:36.200 I mean, it's not like a real issue that he's racist against his family.

00:18:39.940 But how are we supposed to interpret it?

00:18:42.800 I'm just curious.

00:18:43.760 Is he actually being racist against his own family?

00:18:46.260 Because it looks like it.

00:18:47.360 Again, it doesn't matter.

00:18:49.180 I mean, I'm sure he loves his family and they love him and they would just laugh at it.

00:18:52.800 And it wouldn't be anything except a joke in the family.

00:18:58.080 But it is weird.

00:18:59.520 Kind of jumps out at you.

00:19:01.280 More of a funny story than anything else.

00:19:04.140 All right.

00:19:04.960 Let's talk about the Apple Vision Pro.

00:19:07.960 So it's getting a lot of news.

00:19:09.420 Maybe you saw a video of a guy in London walking his robot dog while wearing his Vision Pro glasses.

00:19:19.120 I'm not entirely sure that was a real video.

00:19:21.980 It looks like the kind that would be fake.

00:19:24.840 Might be fake.

00:19:26.400 But Alex Finn showed us some screenshots from his use of the Apple Vision Pro in which he had a whole bunch of different apps up.

00:19:34.980 So you can see a whole bunch of TikTok and look at other apps.

00:19:38.080 And, you know, his whole vision was full of apps.

00:19:41.820 Now, here's a little mental experiment for you.

00:19:45.280 If the Vision Pro experience, you know, the experience you have wearing the AR, VR glasses from Apple,

00:19:53.200 if that were a pill, you wouldn't be able to buy it because the FDA would be requiring tests and you'd have to do, you know,

00:20:04.680 all these, you know, very expensive multi-year tests to see if it harmed anybody.

00:20:09.780 But because it's an external device, they don't control that stuff.

00:20:16.320 You don't think this is going to scramble people's brains?

00:20:20.040 You don't think that we don't know what the effect of using this over a long period would be?

00:20:26.600 Because when I looked at it, it seemed to me that Alex Finn was showing us a something that looked like a dopamine overload.

00:20:35.460 Meaning that if it's already dangerous to spend too much time on TikTok,

00:20:43.000 how dangerous would it be when it's the only thing you're seeing and, you know,

00:20:46.860 like you're taking it out of the real world and you're in this artificial world

00:20:50.440 and it's 10 times as many screens and they're coming at you 10 times as fast and sometimes 3D.

00:20:56.140 And so the extra richness of this world should, based on everything we know about brains, rewire them.

00:21:06.260 This should fundamentally rewire human brains. 0.98

00:21:11.480 But we don't have to test that.

00:21:14.480 If TikTok were a pill, there's no way it would be legal.

00:21:20.220 You know that, right?

00:21:21.700 If the only difference were it were a pill,

00:21:24.160 but let's say the experience was the same,

00:21:27.800 you know, you still had this visual experience of TikTok and you interacted with it,

00:21:31.480 but it was just a pill.

00:21:33.480 There's no way it would be legal

00:21:34.940 because the benefits don't come anywhere near compensating for the costs.

00:21:41.040 So I do have that question about the AR, VR stuff.

00:21:46.120 At some point, the product itself is so good

00:21:49.180 and Apple's very good at making products

00:21:51.900 that it will rewire your brain

00:21:54.520 and you don't know what that gets you in the end.

00:21:58.640 You know, certainly the internet has rewired my brain.

00:22:01.920 Wouldn't you agree that your own brain has been rewired

00:22:04.700 and your attention span is far less?

00:22:08.580 Because there's just so much coming at you?

00:22:10.880 Yeah.

00:22:11.100 I mean, if you can rewire somebody's attention span,

00:22:14.920 that's pretty basic wiring of your circuitry.

00:22:19.500 So what will VR do?

00:22:21.140 Well, more probably.

00:22:23.700 Speaking of AI,

00:22:26.100 Amar Reshi reports

00:22:28.460 that at 11 labs, they've got an AI product

00:22:31.620 and they say that with one click,

00:22:35.920 you could have an artificial voice,

00:22:38.740 anybody's voice,

00:22:40.220 creating an audio book

00:22:42.460 from source material.

00:22:46.620 Well, boy, do I have a lot of questions.

00:22:49.780 Now, given that AI has read all of my books,

00:22:53.300 does that mean if you had 11 labs app,

00:22:56.300 you could have a free e-book of mine,

00:22:59.120 or not e-book, but audio book,

00:23:01.560 just by saying,

00:23:02.760 read me that book,

00:23:04.060 which you read.

00:23:05.620 The AI has studied my books,

00:23:07.420 so they're all in its database.

00:23:09.640 So it can just read my book.

00:23:12.020 Or,

00:23:13.180 do they have some kind of copyright control

00:23:15.760 built into it now,

00:23:17.300 so it can't do copyrighted material?

00:23:19.960 But how would the AI know what's copyrighted?

00:23:22.700 Well, I guess if it's a published book,

00:23:24.420 that's easier.

00:23:26.520 I think this is going to open up

00:23:28.160 some legal battles

00:23:29.300 that you don't see coming,

00:23:31.960 like really, really big ones.

00:23:33.920 Because there are going to be

00:23:34.760 a whole bunch of authors

00:23:36.240 who have their own power,

00:23:38.760 you know, the richest ones,

00:23:40.160 who are going to say,

00:23:41.440 absolutely not.

00:23:43.320 You know, I'm going to sue the pants off of you 1.00

00:23:45.400 if you take my intellectual property,

00:23:48.260 which is the right to have this as an audio book,

00:23:50.360 and turn it into something

00:23:51.700 you can all make for nothing.

00:23:52.820 And then what about the voices?

00:23:59.240 What about the fact

00:24:00.200 that I can have a celebrity voice

00:24:02.100 read my book?

00:24:03.560 The celebrity doesn't get any say in that. 0.94

00:24:06.240 You can take the celebrity's voice

00:24:07.780 and just apply it wherever you want.

00:24:10.380 It could be that

00:24:11.280 as long as you're doing this privately,

00:24:13.100 it's all legal.

00:24:14.940 It would only be a problem

00:24:16.020 if you tried to publish it.

00:24:17.440 But that made sense in the old days.

00:24:22.320 But in the new days,

00:24:23.340 if every single person

00:24:24.340 doesn't need to buy an audio book ever again,

00:24:26.960 because the AI will just make one for them,

00:24:29.760 this is a gigantic industry

00:24:31.540 that just disappeared.

00:24:33.300 And it's my industry.

00:24:35.980 You know, it's about half

00:24:37.820 of my entire book income is audio books.

00:24:41.260 And I think it just disappeared.

00:24:43.260 But I don't know.

00:24:44.400 I suspect that lawyers will,

00:24:46.020 lawyer up and fight this pretty hard

00:24:49.020 if it's what it looks like.

00:24:50.040 But we don't know

00:24:50.580 if it's what it looks like yet.

00:24:52.920 When I tried 11 labs a while ago,

00:24:56.040 or actually I tried a different one

00:24:57.320 that did the same thing a while ago,

00:24:58.940 it couldn't handle an entire book.

00:25:03.360 So it was artificially constrained

00:25:05.140 just for resources.

00:25:06.840 But if this one's not artificially constrained,

00:25:09.900 there's a lot going on.

00:25:11.660 All right, Michaela Peterson

00:25:12.520 is saying that on YouTube,

00:25:14.260 if you go into incognito mode

00:25:16.400 and you try to type in a search

00:25:18.780 for either Michaela Peterson

00:25:20.800 or Jordan Peterson or her dad,

00:25:22.980 that it doesn't autofill.

00:25:25.420 And it would be very unusual

00:25:27.160 if that's accidental.

00:25:29.580 So she's saying it looks like

00:25:31.120 it will kill her YouTube channel, 1.00

00:25:33.940 because when people search for it,

00:25:36.160 they'll have to know exactly

00:25:37.440 what they're searching for.

00:25:38.480 It won't help them out.

00:25:39.300 So I went over to check on my own

00:25:44.160 to see if that's true for me.

00:25:47.460 So I went into an incognito tab,

00:25:51.940 and I opened YouTube,

00:25:53.440 and I searched for myself,

00:25:54.880 and it does autofill.

00:25:56.860 So my show autofills

00:25:58.500 exactly like you'd want it to.

00:26:01.020 So if hers doesn't,

00:26:02.880 what does that tell you?

00:26:04.240 Well, if mine does,

00:26:07.220 clearly that's a function,

00:26:08.900 you know,

00:26:09.380 that would be normal for YouTube.

00:26:11.120 If hers doesn't,

00:26:12.720 and her father's doesn't,

00:26:15.220 I feel like the probable reason for that

00:26:18.320 would be that YouTube

00:26:21.700 made a decision not to do it,

00:26:23.700 and they removed that function.

00:26:25.460 What else would it be?

00:26:26.760 Oh, a Canada setting.

00:26:28.840 Somebody says,

00:26:29.660 I wonder if it's a Canada setting.

00:26:31.500 Huh, maybe,

00:26:32.220 but it'd be the same problem.

00:26:35.240 Anyway, I don't know if that's true,

00:26:37.280 but I will tell you

00:26:38.160 that my YouTube traffic

00:26:39.640 for about five years

00:26:41.560 has been flat,

00:26:43.240 while my X number of followers

00:26:45.760 went from 100,000 to 1.1 million.

00:26:49.540 Do you think both of those things

00:26:50.720 happened at the same time organically?

00:26:53.180 That my YouTube that I do

00:26:54.340 every single day,

00:26:56.160 every day,

00:26:57.620 that it's been flat for five years.

00:27:00.280 Does that sound normal?

00:27:03.540 No.

00:27:04.240 No.

00:27:05.440 No.

00:27:06.080 Not while my X is going up like a streak,

00:27:08.400 and my locals' traffic

00:27:09.420 went up like a streak,

00:27:10.920 and everything else did well.

00:27:13.860 I publish a book.

00:27:15.640 You know,

00:27:16.000 I publish a book

00:27:16.700 that does really well.

00:27:18.120 No difference.

00:27:20.280 No.

00:27:21.860 The only time it spiked

00:27:23.080 is when I got in trouble.

00:27:25.220 Is that a coincidence?

00:27:27.740 Yeah, yeah.

00:27:28.600 As soon as I got canceled,

00:27:30.820 traffic went through the roof.

00:27:31.920 But as soon as they were done

00:27:34.380 dumping on me,

00:27:35.660 right back to baseline.

00:27:38.240 Does that sound organic?

00:27:40.680 I doubt it.

00:27:42.480 I doubt it.

00:27:43.220 So, let me give a plug

00:27:45.900 for Rumble Studio.

00:27:47.420 As you might know,

00:27:48.440 Rumble has a product

00:27:50.180 that's recent

00:27:51.420 that I'm using right now,

00:27:52.840 actually.

00:27:53.680 So, I'm in my browser,

00:27:57.120 and I go to Rumble Studio.

00:27:58.220 And for free,

00:28:00.600 I can cast to the X platform,

00:28:05.040 which I'm doing right now,

00:28:06.160 YouTube and Rumble

00:28:07.080 at the same time.

00:28:08.820 And I'm on locals separately,

00:28:10.420 just so I can see

00:28:11.060 their comments a little faster.

00:28:12.460 I can do locals

00:28:13.140 at the same time,

00:28:14.200 but I like to pull them out

00:28:15.960 on a separate device

00:28:16.740 so I see the comments faster.

00:28:19.700 Because they're a subscription site,

00:28:22.080 so they get a little extra.

00:28:23.080 Well, Rumble is important

00:28:27.580 because if one of those sites

00:28:29.280 pulls your content,

00:28:30.720 at least you could be

00:28:31.600 on two or three other sites.

00:28:33.760 And you wouldn't immediately

00:28:34.960 be out of business.

00:28:36.540 You'd have your backup automatically.

00:28:38.440 It would just be there

00:28:39.020 at the same time.

00:28:40.900 So, if you are doing

00:28:42.360 YouTube-only videos

00:28:45.840 about anything political,

00:28:48.280 you should really, really, really

00:28:50.420 think about using Rumble Studio

00:28:52.040 so that you build up

00:28:53.600 a couple of other platforms

00:28:55.680 at the same time

00:28:56.640 because in case

00:28:57.840 you get kicked off of one.

00:29:00.060 That's my business advice,

00:29:01.820 diversify.

00:29:03.340 Well, interesting,

00:29:04.760 Bill Maher had a PBD

00:29:08.560 on the show,

00:29:10.160 Patrick Bet-David.

00:29:11.800 It is Club Random.

00:29:15.020 And here's a little snippet

00:29:16.880 of conversation.

00:29:17.900 I was fascinated by this

00:29:19.760 because I learned something

00:29:20.760 at the same time

00:29:21.500 or was reminded

00:29:22.380 of something I once knew.

00:29:25.160 So, Patrick Bet-David said,

00:29:29.180 70% of Americans

00:29:30.640 took the vaccine

00:29:31.440 and they didn't want to take it.

00:29:33.460 And Bill Maher said,

00:29:34.500 when did the vaccine come about?

00:29:35.980 Under Biden?

00:29:37.060 No, under Trump.

00:29:39.180 And then PBD says,

00:29:41.720 no, it came two days

00:29:44.140 after the election

00:29:44.980 was over with.

00:29:46.600 It was not under Trump.

00:29:48.080 They intentionally kept

00:29:49.480 the vaccine

00:29:50.220 until after the election.

00:29:52.640 And Maher said,

00:29:54.060 oh, yeah, you're right.

00:29:55.580 That's right.

00:29:59.440 Now, that sounds like

00:30:00.620 an ordinary conversation

00:30:01.840 that normal people

00:30:02.820 would have, right?

00:30:04.020 That's why it's extraordinary.

00:30:05.220 It's extraordinary

00:30:08.040 because it's a normal conversation

00:30:09.780 between two people

00:30:11.360 who were just trying

00:30:12.040 to figure out

00:30:12.580 what was true

00:30:13.240 and what was not true.

00:30:15.600 It's extraordinary.

00:30:18.440 How often do you ever

00:30:19.540 see somebody

00:30:20.180 make a claim

00:30:21.380 and then go,

00:30:21.900 oh, yeah, you're right.

00:30:23.220 Yeah, that does change everything.

00:30:27.160 You know,

00:30:27.840 every time I complain

00:30:29.600 about, you know,

00:30:30.440 Bill Maher

00:30:30.920 if I disagree with him

00:30:32.060 or something,

00:30:33.000 I have to get back

00:30:33.960 to the fact that

00:30:34.780 he's pretty much

00:30:36.480 a national treasure

00:30:37.420 at this point

00:30:38.120 because his simple

00:30:40.240 inability to be willing

00:30:41.820 if the information

00:30:44.700 is right

00:30:45.400 to take the other side

00:30:47.480 is a hell of a thing.

00:30:50.280 Now, I think he has

00:30:50.940 way too much TDS, yeah.

00:30:52.420 I mean, he has,

00:30:53.300 his TDS is through the roof.

00:30:55.540 So, you know,

00:30:56.720 as soon as he's talking

00:30:57.500 about Trump more specifically,

00:30:59.020 it becomes, you know, crazy.

00:31:00.960 But, you know,

00:31:02.780 outside of a very specific

00:31:04.260 Trump context,

00:31:06.580 you know,

00:31:06.780 this one was sort of

00:31:07.540 Trump adjacent,

00:31:10.080 he seems willing

00:31:10.860 to actually look

00:31:11.740 at the evidence.

00:31:12.580 So I'm going to give him

00:31:13.380 a lot of credit for that.

00:31:14.520 It's hard to do in public.

00:31:16.200 It's very hard to do

00:31:17.040 in public.

00:31:19.420 All right.

00:31:20.000 So this tells me

00:31:21.640 that the Republican

00:31:22.520 complaint about Trump

00:31:24.080 might be easy

00:31:25.640 to get rid of

00:31:27.000 because there are

00:31:27.800 a lot of Republicans

00:31:28.500 who say,

00:31:28.980 Trump, you made

00:31:30.760 this vaccination

00:31:31.540 and you said

00:31:32.260 it was good

00:31:32.740 and you haven't

00:31:33.220 apologized for it.

00:31:34.580 To which I say,

00:31:35.840 he wasn't in charge

00:31:37.480 when you got it

00:31:38.300 and he wasn't the one

00:31:39.380 who told you

00:31:39.840 it was mandatory

00:31:40.440 for traveling

00:31:41.920 or whatever.

00:31:42.800 That wasn't him.

00:31:44.640 Trump was the

00:31:45.280 non-mandatory guy.

00:31:47.640 So Trump created

00:31:48.740 an option

00:31:49.320 and you got to decide

00:31:52.320 whether you wanted it.

00:31:54.180 Now, you could argue

00:31:55.340 that it'd be better

00:31:56.380 without the option,

00:31:57.260 but you'd have to argue

00:31:58.820 with the people

00:31:59.620 over 60

00:32:00.280 who think it improved

00:32:01.860 their chances

00:32:02.800 of survival.

00:32:04.160 Don't know.

00:32:05.780 I don't know what's true

00:32:06.760 but a lot of people

00:32:07.920 who think it helped them

00:32:09.340 and then a lot

00:32:10.320 of other people,

00:32:10.900 the younger people

00:32:11.480 who think it was

00:32:12.060 more bad than good.

00:32:14.660 Anecdotally,

00:32:15.160 that's what everybody

00:32:15.780 seems to see.

00:32:17.460 So I don't know

00:32:18.360 what the science is

00:32:19.340 because you can't trust

00:32:20.780 the science on any of this.

00:32:22.700 If you think

00:32:23.440 you saw some data

00:32:24.180 you believe,

00:32:24.700 why?

00:32:26.480 Why would you believe

00:32:27.420 any data about

00:32:28.360 the pandemic?

00:32:30.680 It's all motivated.

00:32:32.540 All of it.

00:32:32.940 Even the stuff

00:32:33.500 that agrees with you

00:32:34.340 is just motivated.

00:32:36.500 All right.

00:32:38.260 Also on the same show,

00:32:40.580 or was it

00:32:42.260 on his Friday show?

00:32:45.800 Oh, no.

00:32:46.560 It was based

00:32:47.160 on the Friday show,

00:32:47.900 I think.

00:32:48.120 So Bill Maher

00:32:49.680 was complaining

00:32:50.300 that people

00:32:50.680 were taking him

00:32:51.480 out of context

00:32:52.400 a little bit

00:32:53.040 because he said

00:32:56.380 that Biden

00:32:59.580 could have stopped,

00:33:01.200 could stop

00:33:02.900 the border problem

00:33:04.160 with the laws

00:33:05.820 that he has.

00:33:07.120 All right.

00:33:07.460 So that would be

00:33:08.660 unusual for somebody

00:33:09.900 who supports Democrats

00:33:10.760 to say,

00:33:12.040 yes, it's true.

00:33:13.320 Biden is lying.

00:33:15.200 He has all the tools

00:33:16.180 he needs

00:33:16.580 to stop

00:33:17.040 the open border.

00:33:19.320 That's a big deal.

00:33:20.940 But

00:33:21.160 Bill Maher

00:33:23.480 wanted to make sure

00:33:24.340 that you knew

00:33:25.000 that they took him

00:33:25.780 a little bit

00:33:26.280 out of context

00:33:27.020 because the extra context,

00:33:28.860 which I will do him

00:33:29.880 the favor of adding,

00:33:31.680 is that he ranted,

00:33:33.240 and they left that

00:33:33.820 out of the video clips,

00:33:35.660 he ranted

00:33:36.200 where I say

00:33:36.720 Republicans are also

00:33:37.900 acting,

00:33:38.820 acting,

00:33:39.540 they're just acting,

00:33:40.540 when they say

00:33:41.120 they want to solve this

00:33:42.020 when they really don't

00:33:42.760 because they want it

00:33:43.320 as a campaign issue.

00:33:44.720 I agree with that.

00:33:46.240 Here's what Bill Maher

00:33:47.560 might not be aware of.

00:33:50.140 The people he think,

00:33:51.680 the conservatives he think,

00:33:52.840 took him out of context

00:33:53.880 by removing the part

00:33:55.540 where he complained

00:33:56.280 about Republicans

00:33:57.180 also not being serious

00:33:58.820 about solving the problem.

00:34:01.480 Every conservative

00:34:02.420 agrees with him.

00:34:04.240 Do you know why

00:34:04.840 they took that out?

00:34:07.220 Because everybody agrees.

00:34:09.960 Everybody agrees

00:34:10.900 that the Republicans

00:34:11.660 are pieces of shit,

00:34:12.760 for not closing the border.

00:34:14.920 Everybody agrees

00:34:15.740 that the GOP

00:34:16.560 who's not trying

00:34:17.260 to close that border

00:34:18.180 and doing it

00:34:19.400 without any other requirements,

00:34:21.740 we all agree

00:34:22.480 that they're losers.

00:34:24.120 So I don't think

00:34:24.920 he knows

00:34:25.480 that the Republicans

00:34:27.000 want to close the border,

00:34:28.500 and if there's

00:34:29.060 a Republican in the way,

00:34:30.680 they will drive over

00:34:31.700 his fucking head. 0.85

00:34:33.940 Let me say that again,

00:34:35.280 Bill Maher,

00:34:35.780 in case you're missing it.

00:34:36.920 The conservatives,

00:34:38.640 everyone that I've

00:34:39.440 ever spoken to,

00:34:40.720 if a Republican

00:34:41.880 got in the way

00:34:42.740 of closing the border

00:34:43.840 under the current situation,

00:34:45.700 every conservative

00:34:46.580 would drive a truck

00:34:47.460 over their fucking head. 0.92

00:34:49.120 Every one of them.

00:34:50.560 So when the conservatives

00:34:51.580 leave out the part

00:34:52.600 where the Republicans

00:34:53.400 are also partly to blame,

00:34:55.080 they leave it out

00:34:55.820 because they agree.

00:34:57.380 It's obvious.

00:34:59.040 It's obvious

00:35:00.080 that the Republicans

00:35:01.100 are part of the problem.

00:35:03.340 So, yeah.

00:35:04.500 Bill, not only,

00:35:05.500 not only do we agree

00:35:07.940 with you,

00:35:09.100 but we agree with you

00:35:10.360 probably more emphatically

00:35:11.740 than you agree

00:35:12.500 with yourself.

00:35:13.420 You couldn't get

00:35:14.100 more agreement

00:35:14.660 than this.

00:35:17.200 But the funny part

00:35:18.280 is that he thinks

00:35:19.160 he was taken out

00:35:20.640 of context,

00:35:21.080 which is exactly

00:35:22.220 how all the hoaxes

00:35:23.600 about Trump

00:35:24.200 that Bill Maher

00:35:25.700 believed at one point

00:35:27.300 were all the same trick,

00:35:29.980 just taking out context.

00:35:31.120 So, it's interesting

00:35:33.840 to see him call it out.

00:35:35.260 Anyway, watching

00:35:35.900 the continuing,

00:35:38.280 let's say,

00:35:38.940 evolution of Bill Maher

00:35:40.420 toward the light

00:35:43.260 at the same time

00:35:45.160 as Sam Harris

00:35:45.840 seems to be,

00:35:46.780 you know,

00:35:47.040 devolving into

00:35:47.900 a golem or something.

00:35:49.980 I don't know what's going on

00:35:50.800 with that situation.

00:35:52.460 It's fascinating to watch.

00:35:54.220 But let's talk about

00:35:54.800 some other public figures

00:35:56.000 who are fun.

00:35:57.300 So, Mark Cuban.

00:35:59.720 I don't know what's going on

00:36:01.040 with Mark Cuban.

00:36:02.780 Is anybody watching

00:36:03.860 the Mark Cuban show

00:36:05.000 where he's been really public

00:36:08.060 and especially

00:36:08.840 on the X platform

00:36:09.860 debating a lot of people,

00:36:12.120 including me?

00:36:13.240 I'm just one of the people

00:36:14.380 he's interacted with

00:36:15.420 on this topic

00:36:16.100 in which he claims,

00:36:17.800 well, I'll just read you

00:36:18.580 what he said.

00:36:19.880 He's replying to Elon Musk

00:36:21.300 and Bill Ackman

00:36:22.020 and some others.

00:36:23.240 He says,

00:36:23.820 I'm sorry,

00:36:24.800 but I can say

00:36:25.520 with 100% confidence

00:36:27.260 that anyone who believes

00:36:29.000 equity is about

00:36:30.720 providing equal outcomes

00:36:32.480 does not understand

00:36:34.360 what the equity

00:36:35.140 in DEI is.

00:36:38.880 I'll give you a moment

00:36:40.000 for your heads to explode.

00:36:42.580 All right.

00:36:42.980 Put your head back together.

00:36:45.400 Yeah.

00:36:45.800 Mark Cuban said that

00:36:46.880 in public

00:36:47.460 on the X platform.

00:36:49.220 He actually thinks

00:36:52.080 that his team

00:36:53.900 and everybody else

00:36:56.180 in the world

00:36:56.760 only wants equity

00:36:58.680 to be, you know,

00:37:00.300 more like equal opportunity.

00:37:04.560 How do you not know?

00:37:07.420 How do you not know

00:37:09.200 what Jordan Peterson

00:37:11.380 is going to correct him in?

00:37:13.860 I'm going to read

00:37:14.480 every word of it.

00:37:15.240 So Jordan Peterson's

00:37:17.680 head exploded

00:37:18.280 when he read it.

00:37:20.160 I just have to read you.

00:37:22.500 I'm going to read you

00:37:23.340 the entire Jordan Peterson

00:37:24.600 response

00:37:25.340 because it's all

00:37:26.360 just so funny.

00:37:29.100 All right.

00:37:30.280 So,

00:37:30.800 Dr. Jordan Peterson says,

00:37:33.820 this is truly

00:37:35.780 one of the most

00:37:36.700 clueless misses

00:37:37.660 I've ever seen

00:37:39.680 on Twitter

00:37:40.200 and that is a hard

00:37:41.420 contest to win.

00:37:42.400 Mark Cuban,

00:37:44.140 where the hell

00:37:45.100 have you been

00:37:45.620 for the last 20 years?

00:37:47.180 Because the world

00:37:48.080 you think you live in

00:37:49.280 bears absolutely

00:37:50.800 no resemblance

00:37:51.800 to the world

00:37:52.360 that currently exists.

00:37:54.040 What exactly

00:37:54.740 do you think

00:37:55.320 transpired

00:37:56.460 around Harvard

00:37:57.700 and Claudine Gay? 0.70

00:37:59.540 Let me guess.

00:38:00.760 Systemic racism?

00:38:02.200 Poor Dr. Gay.

00:38:03.420 Do you understand

00:38:04.120 the depth

00:38:04.740 of the rot

00:38:05.620 her appalling display 1.00

00:38:06.980 at Congress revealed

00:38:08.060 and was echoed

00:38:09.160 by the presidents

00:38:09.860 of MIT

00:38:10.660 and UPenn?

00:38:11.460 Let me put it

00:38:13.860 so you could

00:38:14.480 understand it

00:38:15.320 if you had

00:38:16.160 ears to hear

00:38:17.020 and eyes to see.

00:38:18.540 And then he writes

00:38:19.060 it in all caps

00:38:19.900 so I'm going to

00:38:21.020 shout it

00:38:21.620 because it's

00:38:22.580 in all caps.

00:38:24.860 Equity is 100%

00:38:26.320 about equality

00:38:27.200 of outcome.

00:38:28.260 The purposeful

00:38:29.200 cloud of linguistic

00:38:30.740 confusion

00:38:31.560 around the term

00:38:32.940 is there

00:38:33.680 to allow

00:38:34.440 moralizing

00:38:35.600 blind enablers

00:38:36.880 such as yourself

00:38:37.840 to maintain

00:38:38.880 their delusions

00:38:39.840 allyship

00:38:40.840 delusional

00:38:41.720 allyship

00:38:42.380 and you

00:38:44.420 take the bait

00:38:45.160 to assuage

00:38:46.300 a word

00:38:48.180 I never say

00:38:48.720 in public

00:38:49.100 to assuage

00:38:49.980 your guilt

00:38:50.480 for whatever

00:38:50.980 you may have

00:38:51.560 had to do

00:38:52.140 in the course

00:38:53.020 of your life

00:38:53.840 perhaps while

00:38:55.580 amassing your

00:38:56.260 fortune.

00:38:57.180 It goes a little

00:38:57.740 too far there.

00:38:59.060 That's between

00:38:59.820 you and God

00:39:00.680 and rightly

00:39:01.480 so.

00:39:02.720 But in the meantime

00:39:03.520 the rest

00:39:04.060 the rest

00:39:05.200 of us

00:39:05.600 can only

00:39:06.300 watch

00:39:06.720 and wonder

00:39:07.260 in an

00:39:07.880 utterly

00:39:08.200 open mouth

00:39:09.100 amazement.

00:39:13.860 All right.

00:39:15.440 So what's

00:39:16.020 really going

00:39:16.660 on?

00:39:18.040 Do you think

00:39:18.820 that Mark Cuban

00:39:19.540 actually doesn't

00:39:20.540 know

00:39:20.860 what Jordan

00:39:22.760 Peterson

00:39:23.140 just explained

00:39:23.880 to him?

00:39:24.920 Do you think

00:39:25.500 that he's lived

00:39:26.200 in the actual

00:39:26.800 world

00:39:27.360 and he doesn't

00:39:28.740 know that?

00:39:30.520 What do you

00:39:31.240 think?

00:39:31.740 It's sort of

00:39:32.160 a mystery.

00:39:32.580 I'll give you

00:39:33.480 my speculation

00:39:34.180 in a moment

00:39:34.620 but there's

00:39:35.040 more to the

00:39:35.460 story.

00:39:38.220 So the

00:39:38.820 libs of

00:39:39.280 TikTok

00:39:39.600 found a

00:39:41.620 video of

00:39:42.180 the CEO

00:39:42.720 of the

00:39:43.040 Dallas

00:39:43.380 Mavericks

00:39:43.920 who Mark

00:39:45.520 Cuban

00:39:45.900 hired.

00:39:46.480 And I'll

00:39:46.640 just read

00:39:47.280 the libs

00:39:47.640 of TikTok

00:39:48.260 post here.

00:39:49.760 And in the

00:39:50.400 video she

00:39:50.820 boasts about

00:39:51.320 being the

00:39:51.640 most diverse

00:39:52.320 in the

00:39:52.640 NBA and

00:39:54.220 switching up

00:39:54.860 roles to

00:39:55.360 have more

00:39:55.700 women and 0.99

00:39:56.240 black people

00:39:56.760 in leadership

00:39:57.240 positions.

00:39:58.700 So she

00:39:59.300 said,

00:39:59.660 quote,

00:40:00.040 you have to

00:40:00.620 have a

00:40:00.880 diverse group.

00:40:01.560 I made

00:40:02.360 some

00:40:02.580 leadership

00:40:03.000 changes and

00:40:04.320 now we

00:40:04.680 have almost

00:40:05.220 50% women 0.99

00:40:06.200 and 47%

00:40:07.400 people of

00:40:07.920 color.

00:40:08.640 Diversity

00:40:09.040 matters.

00:40:14.280 Didn't she

00:40:15.100 just admit

00:40:15.800 breaking the

00:40:16.400 law?

00:40:19.980 How do you

00:40:20.920 interpret that?

00:40:21.840 If she said

00:40:22.560 they made

00:40:23.700 some leadership

00:40:24.320 changes that

00:40:26.040 would indicate

00:40:26.680 that there

00:40:27.220 were white

00:40:27.720 men in

00:40:28.400 those positions

00:40:29.100 positions and

00:40:29.980 she changed

00:40:30.580 them out,

00:40:31.960 there's no

00:40:32.700 mention that

00:40:33.280 they were

00:40:33.500 doing a

00:40:33.800 bad job.

00:40:35.320 And there's

00:40:35.620 no mention

00:40:36.100 that there

00:40:36.480 was a

00:40:36.980 natural order

00:40:40.120 to it as

00:40:40.740 in as

00:40:41.240 people

00:40:41.520 retired they

00:40:43.740 would replace

00:40:44.340 them with

00:40:44.720 some diversity,

00:40:45.640 which I

00:40:46.020 wouldn't mind

00:40:46.420 at all

00:40:46.760 actually because

00:40:47.840 I think

00:40:48.560 diversity has

00:40:49.200 some advantages.

00:40:50.760 But if you

00:40:51.100 do it

00:40:51.340 organically and

00:40:52.240 you're getting

00:40:52.600 people who

00:40:53.120 are qualified

00:40:54.560 for the job

00:40:55.500 and especially

00:40:56.600 the most

00:40:57.140 qualified for the

00:40:57.880 job and

00:40:58.280 that's how

00:40:58.600 you do

00:40:58.860 it,

00:40:59.600 sure.

00:41:01.000 But if

00:41:01.680 their race

00:41:02.140 has anything

00:41:02.860 to do with

00:41:03.460 why they're

00:41:03.780 getting hired

00:41:04.320 even if it's

00:41:06.060 just the

00:41:06.540 tiebreaker,

00:41:07.520 that is

00:41:08.020 illegal.

00:41:09.380 That is

00:41:09.900 unambiguously

00:41:10.800 100% illegal

00:41:12.220 and it looks

00:41:13.820 to me like

00:41:14.500 the CEO of

00:41:15.260 the Dallas

00:41:15.680 Mavericks

00:41:16.220 who Mark

00:41:17.240 Cuban hired

00:41:17.860 is admitting

00:41:19.220 to a crime

00:41:19.980 and a

00:41:21.940 pretty bad

00:41:22.400 one.

00:41:23.760 Now,

00:41:24.360 I don't like

00:41:25.020 to see people

00:41:25.520 get in trouble

00:41:26.060 so I don't

00:41:26.960 want this

00:41:27.500 CEO who

00:41:28.500 looks like

00:41:28.840 a good

00:41:29.140 person,

00:41:29.660 actually.

00:41:30.540 She has

00:41:31.360 a good

00:41:31.620 vibe.

00:41:33.120 She looks

00:41:33.740 likable.

00:41:34.920 So I don't

00:41:35.480 want anything

00:41:35.820 bad to happen

00:41:36.360 to her,

00:41:36.760 but I would

00:41:37.160 like her to

00:41:37.600 be educated

00:41:38.280 about what

00:41:40.240 discrimination

00:41:40.740 really is.

00:41:42.380 I get that

00:41:43.160 she's trying

00:41:43.560 to make the

00:41:43.940 world a

00:41:44.240 better place

00:41:44.720 as she

00:41:45.040 sees it.

00:41:46.160 So may

00:41:46.720 have good

00:41:47.080 intentions.

00:41:47.680 And Mark

00:41:48.020 Cuban as

00:41:48.420 well may

00:41:48.900 have good

00:41:49.200 intentions.

00:41:50.320 But you

00:41:51.540 have to know

00:41:52.140 this is

00:41:52.520 illegal and

00:41:53.780 that it's

00:41:54.100 illegal for

00:41:54.700 very good

00:41:55.340 reasons.

00:41:55.820 smart people

00:41:57.180 did a lot

00:41:57.640 of thinking

00:41:58.100 about this

00:41:58.780 and decided

00:41:59.640 this needs

00:42:00.240 to be

00:42:00.820 100%

00:42:01.840 illegal.

00:42:03.800 And

00:42:04.280 here's my

00:42:07.280 best guess.

00:42:07.880 best guess

00:42:10.860 is that at

00:42:11.300 one point

00:42:11.900 Mark Cuban

00:42:12.940 was just

00:42:13.680 trying to

00:42:14.020 do the

00:42:14.280 right thing

00:42:14.700 and get

00:42:15.840 some diversity

00:42:16.480 in his

00:42:16.880 company.

00:42:18.140 And

00:42:18.620 maybe it

00:42:21.080 got a

00:42:21.420 little too

00:42:21.780 aggressive.

00:42:23.260 And as a

00:42:24.100 leader of a

00:42:24.740 company he's

00:42:25.420 supporting the

00:42:26.660 people that he

00:42:27.180 hired.

00:42:27.960 So I feel

00:42:28.940 like he's

00:42:29.600 trying a little

00:42:30.260 too hard to

00:42:30.880 support the

00:42:31.440 people he

00:42:31.860 hired.

00:42:32.540 But I have

00:42:33.140 another

00:42:33.480 suggestion.

00:42:34.020 There's

00:42:36.920 something about

00:42:37.560 this that

00:42:38.560 looks so

00:42:39.780 stupid that

00:42:41.120 it can't

00:42:41.540 be real.

00:42:43.300 Do you

00:42:43.820 know what I

00:42:44.120 mean?

00:42:45.120 This can't

00:42:45.820 be the first

00:42:46.440 time somebody

00:42:47.080 explained to

00:42:47.720 Mark Cuban

00:42:48.220 that they

00:42:48.940 really do

00:42:49.380 mean equity

00:42:49.980 is equal

00:42:50.680 outcome.

00:42:51.680 It can't

00:42:52.120 be the first

00:42:52.560 time.

00:42:53.960 I don't

00:42:54.780 believe that he

00:42:55.340 believes what

00:42:55.840 he's saying he

00:42:56.380 believes.

00:42:56.760 I would

00:43:00.000 like to

00:43:00.480 open up the

00:43:01.200 possibility that

00:43:02.680 he's trying to

00:43:03.280 break the

00:43:03.720 system and

00:43:06.080 that he knows

00:43:06.560 he's doing

00:43:06.960 it.

00:43:07.540 Now I

00:43:08.000 can't read

00:43:08.440 minds.

00:43:09.500 I can't read

00:43:10.040 minds.

00:43:10.480 It's entirely

00:43:11.020 possible it's

00:43:11.740 exactly what it

00:43:12.520 looks like.

00:43:13.400 A guy who

00:43:14.160 somehow was

00:43:15.760 blind to one

00:43:16.500 of the biggest

00:43:16.920 things happening

00:43:17.500 in the country

00:43:18.060 for 20 years.

00:43:20.300 I would say

00:43:20.900 30 years.

00:43:22.160 I'd say 30

00:43:22.780 years at least.

00:43:24.180 So that's not

00:43:25.480 impossible.

00:43:26.760 Can we all

00:43:27.440 agree that it's

00:43:28.160 within the realm

00:43:28.880 of possibility

00:43:29.520 that he has

00:43:30.640 this gigantic

00:43:31.300 blind spot?

00:43:32.720 Totally

00:43:33.120 possible.

00:43:35.060 But I'm

00:43:36.180 going to give

00:43:36.520 him more

00:43:36.820 credit than

00:43:37.360 that.

00:43:38.460 Because in

00:43:39.120 my opinion

00:43:39.580 he's too

00:43:40.180 smart to

00:43:40.880 have that

00:43:41.240 blind spot

00:43:41.920 for that

00:43:42.460 long.

00:43:45.400 He could

00:43:46.240 be over

00:43:49.100 complying to

00:43:50.060 break the

00:43:50.480 system.

00:43:52.640 He could

00:43:53.420 be selling

00:43:54.760 it because

00:43:55.300 he knows

00:43:55.740 it's ridiculous.

00:43:56.760 And the

00:43:57.720 more he

00:43:58.120 sells it

00:43:58.700 the more

00:43:59.680 people are

00:44:00.120 getting educated

00:44:00.840 how ridiculous

00:44:01.500 it is.

00:44:02.720 Is that an

00:44:03.300 accident?

00:44:06.040 Because he's

00:44:06.860 having too

00:44:07.360 much fun and

00:44:08.820 he's not

00:44:09.240 responding in

00:44:10.060 a way that

00:44:10.500 you would

00:44:10.880 respond if

00:44:12.140 you knew

00:44:12.420 that all

00:44:12.800 of your

00:44:13.060 arguments

00:44:13.440 had been

00:44:13.840 demolished

00:44:14.380 in public.

00:44:16.780 His response

00:44:17.820 is not

00:44:18.220 matching the

00:44:19.580 activity.

00:44:20.700 Which suggests

00:44:21.620 to his credit

00:44:23.200 if this is

00:44:24.400 true.

00:44:24.620 I'm just

00:44:25.180 speculating.

00:44:25.840 I can't

00:44:26.120 read his

00:44:26.380 mind.

00:44:26.880 I have no

00:44:27.240 inside

00:44:28.340 information.

00:44:29.160 Nothing like

00:44:29.580 that.

00:44:30.560 It looks to

00:44:31.440 me like

00:44:33.320 something I

00:44:33.880 might have

00:44:34.200 done.

00:44:36.420 But if I

00:44:37.180 did it,

00:44:38.000 it would be

00:44:38.480 to break the

00:44:39.020 system.

00:44:40.720 Because if you

00:44:41.500 take this to

00:44:42.200 its logical

00:44:42.820 conclusion,

00:44:43.840 it's obviously

00:44:44.580 ridiculous.

00:44:45.880 And it looks

00:44:46.320 like he's

00:44:46.660 doing that.

00:44:47.520 He's taking

00:44:48.060 it to its

00:44:48.520 logical

00:44:48.920 conclusion.

00:44:51.480 Well,

00:44:52.700 he runs a

00:44:53.440 basketball team,

00:44:54.240 the ultimate

00:44:54.840 discrimination

00:44:55.760 entity.

00:44:58.760 He's

00:44:59.240 certainly

00:44:59.620 not following

00:45:02.080 his own

00:45:02.440 rules, at

00:45:03.220 least for

00:45:03.480 the team.

00:45:05.080 So,

00:45:06.400 it's just

00:45:07.480 a question

00:45:07.900 mark.

00:45:08.380 I would

00:45:08.800 like to

00:45:09.080 just put

00:45:09.440 in a

00:45:09.740 marker

00:45:10.120 that says

00:45:11.440 if you

00:45:11.860 think the

00:45:12.600 entire

00:45:12.960 explanation

00:45:13.560 is he's

00:45:14.520 just defending

00:45:15.180 his company

00:45:15.780 and he

00:45:16.160 made gigantic

00:45:17.340 mistakes and

00:45:18.100 they're operating

00:45:18.980 in a super

00:45:20.160 illegal way.

00:45:21.780 Maybe.

00:45:23.380 Maybe.

00:45:24.800 I mean,

00:45:25.900 okay,

00:45:26.740 I've seen

00:45:27.180 stranger things.

00:45:29.000 But when

00:45:30.040 your hypothesis

00:45:31.260 assumes that

00:45:32.080 one of the

00:45:32.500 smartest people

00:45:33.280 you know

00:45:33.760 is really

00:45:34.800 secretly one

00:45:35.580 of the

00:45:35.800 dumbest people

00:45:36.400 you know,

00:45:37.800 that usually

00:45:38.680 is not a

00:45:39.100 good sign

00:45:39.540 for your

00:45:39.980 point of

00:45:40.400 view.

00:45:41.880 And I'm

00:45:42.440 going to

00:45:42.560 say the

00:45:42.840 same thing.

00:45:43.620 Mark Cuban

00:45:44.180 had the

00:45:44.520 same opinion

00:45:45.120 about Trump,

00:45:46.680 that Trump

00:45:47.220 was far

00:45:47.940 too

00:45:48.340 literally

00:45:48.840 stupid 0.75

00:45:49.400 to succeed.

00:45:54.100 Does that

00:45:54.900 ever sound

00:45:55.460 like that's

00:45:56.100 like a

00:45:57.480 good analysis?

00:46:00.040 Yeah,

00:46:00.680 I don't know.

00:46:01.840 So if you're

00:46:02.580 thinking that

00:46:03.180 Mark Cuban

00:46:03.820 is so dumb

00:46:04.580 that he

00:46:04.960 believes all

00:46:05.460 of this

00:46:05.700 stuff he's

00:46:06.100 saying,

00:46:06.960 maybe.

00:46:08.260 But believing

00:46:08.880 that people

00:46:09.380 that successful

00:46:10.260 and that

00:46:10.940 consistently

00:46:11.520 smart are

00:46:12.660 really secretly

00:46:13.480 dumb,

00:46:14.620 like he

00:46:15.100 believed of

00:46:15.620 Trump,

00:46:15.900 I don't

00:46:18.300 know.

00:46:18.680 I can't

00:46:18.980 take that

00:46:19.280 too

00:46:19.480 seriously.

00:46:21.900 Well,

00:46:22.380 what about

00:46:22.660 that Chinese 1.00

00:46:23.260 risk of

00:46:23.980 all the

00:46:24.240 Chinese

00:46:24.560 nationals

00:46:25.080 flowing

00:46:25.440 through the

00:46:25.840 border?

00:46:26.540 There's a

00:46:26.960 report now

00:46:27.440 that TikTok

00:46:27.940 is giving

00:46:28.560 them specific

00:46:29.340 instructions

00:46:30.020 about how

00:46:30.840 to find the

00:46:31.300 holes in the

00:46:31.860 gate in

00:46:32.280 California.

00:46:33.680 So you

00:46:34.220 say to

00:46:34.500 yourself,

00:46:34.800 oh my

00:46:35.020 God,

00:46:35.960 China is 0.85

00:46:36.740 invading with

00:46:37.740 all these

00:46:38.280 Chinese

00:46:38.720 nationals and

00:46:39.460 it will

00:46:39.640 activate them

00:46:40.360 to be

00:46:40.760 spies and

00:46:42.020 sleeper

00:46:42.440 cells and

00:46:42.980 stuff like

00:46:43.460 that.

00:46:44.500 But did

00:46:45.280 you know

00:46:45.820 that completely

00:46:47.320 legally there

00:46:48.400 are 280,000

00:46:49.660 Chinese students

00:46:50.540 in the United

00:46:51.060 States in

00:46:51.580 2023?

00:46:54.780 There are

00:46:55.500 280,000

00:46:56.960 Chinese students

00:46:58.000 in the United

00:46:59.020 States completely

00:46:59.940 legally.

00:47:01.680 Well, why

00:47:02.400 would they need

00:47:02.820 to come to

00:47:03.220 the border?

00:47:04.560 If they need

00:47:05.160 to come to

00:47:05.640 the border,

00:47:06.120 it means they

00:47:06.560 couldn't get

00:47:07.240 into college.

00:47:07.820 Doesn't

00:47:09.480 China want 0.99

00:47:09.940 their best

00:47:10.900 people here?

00:47:11.840 The ones

00:47:12.200 who could

00:47:12.680 get into

00:47:13.100 college?

00:47:14.660 So if I

00:47:16.280 were worried

00:47:16.740 about Chinese

00:47:17.340 spies, I'd

00:47:18.060 be a lot

00:47:18.500 more worried

00:47:19.080 about the

00:47:19.560 280,000

00:47:20.540 students than

00:47:22.260 I would be

00:47:22.720 about the

00:47:23.260 people coming

00:47:23.900 through the

00:47:24.240 gate.

00:47:24.720 I assume

00:47:25.300 there's a

00:47:26.340 risk in

00:47:26.700 both cases.

00:47:28.240 But the

00:47:30.560 undocumented

00:47:31.160 thing isn't

00:47:31.840 helping your

00:47:32.520 argument as

00:47:34.320 much as you

00:47:34.780 think.

00:47:35.640 I get that

00:47:36.560 we watch

00:47:37.060 carefully that

00:47:37.800 Chinese who

00:47:38.680 come in

00:47:39.060 legally.

00:47:39.760 I get

00:47:40.100 that.

00:47:40.960 But the

00:47:41.280 ones who

00:47:42.240 are educated

00:47:42.980 in college,

00:47:44.440 I feel like

00:47:45.100 they're a

00:47:45.440 bigger risk

00:47:46.080 than somebody

00:47:47.560 who's just

00:47:47.900 walking in

00:47:48.360 with the

00:47:48.560 clothes on

00:47:48.960 their back.

00:47:50.180 Even if

00:47:50.780 they're

00:47:51.000 trained

00:47:51.440 terrorists, 0.70

00:47:51.900 how much

00:47:52.160 are they

00:47:52.340 going to

00:47:52.500 do?

00:47:54.420 Well, I

00:47:55.000 suppose one

00:47:55.500 good terrorist 0.89

00:47:56.140 could take

00:47:56.560 down the

00:47:56.820 whole state

00:47:57.220 if they

00:47:57.480 tried.

00:47:58.800 I always

00:48:00.440 think that

00:48:00.820 terrorism is

00:48:01.520 fake because

00:48:02.940 it's so

00:48:03.340 poorly done.

00:48:04.260 Have you

00:48:04.480 ever had

00:48:04.740 that thought?

00:48:06.060 That maybe

00:48:06.500 all the

00:48:07.060 terrorism is

00:48:07.700 fake in

00:48:08.220 the United

00:48:08.560 States?

00:48:09.540 Because with

00:48:10.000 the exception

00:48:10.400 of 9-11,

00:48:12.500 why can't

00:48:14.340 they do

00:48:14.640 better than

00:48:15.100 they're doing?

00:48:16.160 I'm not

00:48:16.720 going to give

00:48:17.060 anybody any

00:48:17.700 ideas, but

00:48:19.380 I'm almost

00:48:20.020 positive I

00:48:20.680 could take

00:48:21.020 down the

00:48:21.340 whole country

00:48:21.860 in a

00:48:22.120 weekend,

00:48:23.480 like actually

00:48:24.140 literally.

00:48:25.840 Why can't

00:48:26.520 they?

00:48:27.800 How hard

00:48:28.440 would it be?

00:48:29.300 I mean,

00:48:29.520 again, I'm not

00:48:29.980 going to give

00:48:30.260 you any ideas,

00:48:31.160 but it wouldn't

00:48:32.460 be that hard.

00:48:34.000 Anyway, so I

00:48:35.440 just wonder why

00:48:36.040 it hasn't

00:48:36.300 happened.

00:48:38.260 All right, here's

00:48:38.640 my favorite

00:48:39.040 story.

00:48:39.780 I often talk

00:48:40.540 to you about

00:48:40.900 my so-called

00:48:42.120 Democrat

00:48:42.580 friend.

00:48:44.720 I usually

00:48:45.440 call him my

00:48:46.040 smart Democrat

00:48:47.000 friend.

00:48:47.780 Now, he's

00:48:48.220 smart because he

00:48:48.940 literally went to

00:48:49.740 a much better

00:48:50.920 school than I

00:48:51.560 did and is

00:48:53.440 very successful

00:48:54.820 professionally and

00:48:56.900 follows the news

00:48:58.280 forever, knows a

00:48:59.960 lot about it, a lot

00:49:00.840 of things.

00:49:01.140 super smart,

00:49:03.300 successful guy.

00:49:05.740 But we

00:49:06.080 sometimes disagree.

00:49:08.260 So I'm going to

00:49:08.920 give you an update

00:49:09.440 on the story.

00:49:09.980 I mentioned this

00:49:10.460 in the man cave,

00:49:11.200 so some of you

00:49:11.640 heard it.

00:49:12.840 So I wanted

00:49:15.060 to find out if

00:49:16.780 he had updated

00:49:17.420 his opinion,

00:49:18.380 his anti-Trump

00:49:19.120 opinions recently

00:49:20.300 because of open

00:49:21.780 borders and

00:49:22.540 Biden falling

00:49:23.420 apart, etc.

00:49:24.660 So I asked

00:49:26.000 him if he'd

00:49:26.680 changed his

00:49:27.480 view about

00:49:28.080 Biden destroying

00:49:29.160 America.

00:49:29.620 and his

00:49:32.760 response was

00:49:33.600 that I should

00:49:34.400 read the New

00:49:34.840 York Times to

00:49:36.220 get the real

00:49:36.780 news and stop

00:49:37.680 falling for all

00:49:38.380 the Republican

00:49:38.980 hoaxes.

00:49:41.600 So now the

00:49:43.680 reason I

00:49:44.160 contacted him

00:49:45.040 was, you

00:49:46.340 know, first to

00:49:46.920 get his updated

00:49:47.460 opinion, but

00:49:48.380 then to suggest

00:49:49.340 that maybe he

00:49:50.520 and I could end

00:49:51.140 up on the same

00:49:51.900 page, which has

00:49:52.720 not happened in

00:49:53.460 many years, if

00:49:55.640 he simply used

00:49:56.700 the X platform,

00:49:57.600 which he doesn't,

00:49:58.260 because it

00:49:59.240 shows both

00:49:59.760 sides.

00:50:01.800 And I said,

00:50:02.680 if you read the

00:50:03.160 New York Times,

00:50:03.740 you see one

00:50:04.280 side.

00:50:06.340 You know,

00:50:06.560 likewise, if you

00:50:07.360 watch only Fox

00:50:08.320 News, you see

00:50:08.960 one side.

00:50:10.120 But if you're

00:50:10.600 on X, the

00:50:12.680 design of the

00:50:13.780 system is that

00:50:15.020 you might get

00:50:15.580 fact-checked by

00:50:16.280 community notes,

00:50:17.820 you know, like

00:50:18.180 the RFK Jr.

00:50:19.600 video got

00:50:20.280 fact-checked

00:50:21.420 immediately as a

00:50:22.580 reverse video.

00:50:23.360 But it also

00:50:25.240 allows almost

00:50:26.740 every time the

00:50:28.460 counterpoint shows

00:50:29.820 up right in the

00:50:30.400 comments.

00:50:31.680 So every story

00:50:32.660 on X, if it

00:50:33.560 gets any

00:50:34.020 attention at all,

00:50:35.340 always has a

00:50:35.940 counterpoint.

00:50:37.060 In fact, I

00:50:37.560 spend a lot of

00:50:38.100 my time putting

00:50:39.400 the counterpoint

00:50:40.240 into other

00:50:41.720 people's posts,

00:50:42.960 so you can see

00:50:43.500 I did it today.

00:50:44.700 It's the normal

00:50:45.420 thing we do.

00:50:47.140 So he seemed

00:50:49.780 to have an old

00:50:51.500 opinion of what

00:50:52.640 Twitter or X

00:50:54.360 is.

00:50:55.720 And so here's

00:50:56.640 the update, the

00:50:57.280 funny update.

00:50:59.440 I couldn't

00:51:00.180 really talk to

00:51:00.780 him any further

00:51:01.740 because we don't

00:51:02.360 have a common

00:51:02.900 assumption about

00:51:04.220 what is reality.

00:51:06.300 But I tweeted

00:51:07.560 this or posted

00:51:08.380 it about how

00:51:09.400 my smartest

00:51:10.740 friend told me

00:51:11.380 to read the

00:51:12.380 New York Times

00:51:12.960 and stop

00:51:13.580 falling for the

00:51:14.300 Republican hoaxes.

00:51:15.820 And Elon

00:51:16.300 Musk weighed 1.00

00:51:17.620 in with a

00:51:18.040 comment.

00:51:19.180 And he said,

00:51:20.040 recommend that

00:51:20.740 they also read

00:51:21.640 X.

00:51:22.200 Worst case,

00:51:22.940 they'll have a

00:51:23.340 better understanding

00:51:24.040 of the so-called

00:51:24.740 hoaxes.

00:51:26.240 They don't need

00:51:26.960 to stop reading

00:51:27.520 the New York

00:51:27.900 Times, but they

00:51:28.480 probably will once

00:51:29.260 they realize

00:51:29.740 they've been

00:51:30.100 had.

00:51:33.060 So my smart

00:51:36.300 Democrat friend,

00:51:37.240 because he's in

00:51:37.900 his bubble,

00:51:39.020 he doesn't watch

00:51:39.780 this show, and

00:51:40.940 he doesn't follow

00:51:41.580 me on X.

00:51:43.400 So he doesn't

00:51:44.420 know that I've

00:51:45.300 been using him

00:51:45.880 for years as my

00:51:47.560 example of, you

00:51:49.160 know, somebody

00:51:49.580 in strong TDS.

00:51:50.700 I never use

00:51:51.920 his name, he's

00:51:52.500 just, you know,

00:51:53.060 my smart

00:51:53.500 Democrat friend.

00:51:55.340 So I thought

00:51:56.400 it would be

00:51:56.680 funny to text

00:51:57.440 him and tell

00:51:58.720 him that Elon

00:51:59.380 Musk recommends

00:52:00.480 that he use

00:52:01.300 X and he can

00:52:02.940 still keep reading

00:52:03.700 the New York

00:52:04.060 Times, but he

00:52:05.180 needs to see the

00:52:05.840 full picture.

00:52:07.180 So I texted

00:52:08.100 him that.

00:52:10.420 You know what

00:52:11.080 his response

00:52:11.620 was?

00:52:13.580 He said,

00:52:14.520 would X

00:52:15.520 publish a story

00:52:16.380 about SpaceX

00:52:17.360 not being as

00:52:18.200 profitable as

00:52:18.980 people think?

00:52:20.640 That was his

00:52:21.540 response to

00:52:22.820 me telling

00:52:23.240 that Elon

00:52:23.920 Musk personally

00:52:25.500 asked him to

00:52:28.160 use the X

00:52:28.740 platform.

00:52:31.580 Now, here's

00:52:32.900 the funny part.

00:52:34.760 Based on his

00:52:35.720 response, I

00:52:37.140 don't think he

00:52:37.760 believes that

00:52:38.360 Elon Musk

00:52:39.060 actually asked

00:52:40.300 him personally

00:52:40.860 to use the

00:52:41.500 X platform.

00:52:43.400 And here's the

00:52:44.140 funnier part.

00:52:44.720 I'm not going

00:52:46.840 to tell him.

00:52:49.000 Because I

00:52:49.600 think it's

00:52:49.920 hilarious that

00:52:51.040 he's so

00:52:51.480 disconnected from

00:52:52.520 the actual

00:52:53.020 news that he

00:52:54.160 doesn't know

00:52:54.600 that Elon Musk

00:52:55.380 just personally

00:52:56.360 invited him on

00:52:57.100 the X platform.

00:52:58.820 How funny is

00:52:59.700 that?

00:53:01.200 Come on, you

00:53:01.920 have to admit

00:53:02.300 that's funny that

00:53:03.040 I don't tell

00:53:03.520 him.

00:53:04.720 But it gets

00:53:05.120 better.

00:53:07.440 Elon Musk's

00:53:08.220 mother,

00:53:09.700 May Musk,

00:53:10.900 we follow each

00:53:11.920 other on

00:53:12.280 X, she

00:53:13.460 weighed in

00:53:13.900 too.

00:53:14.800 She said,

00:53:15.340 I have a

00:53:15.620 similar experience

00:53:16.300 with an

00:53:16.640 intelligent lawyer

00:53:17.480 who only

00:53:19.020 receives her

00:53:19.660 news from

00:53:20.080 the New York

00:53:20.440 Times.

00:53:20.760 So I

00:53:20.980 started sending

00:53:21.600 her screenshots

00:53:22.380 of posts

00:53:23.280 from X.

00:53:24.720 Surprisingly,

00:53:25.500 she really

00:53:25.940 appreciated them

00:53:26.700 and has a

00:53:27.480 new outlook

00:53:27.940 on Tesla

00:53:28.540 politics,

00:53:29.680 but she

00:53:30.180 isn't ready

00:53:30.580 to subscribe

00:53:31.240 to X yet,

00:53:31.820 small steps.

00:53:33.620 And I

00:53:35.760 think I

00:53:36.200 might text

00:53:37.000 my friend

00:53:37.480 and say,

00:53:38.920 Elon Musk's

00:53:39.840 mother says

00:53:40.660 you should be

00:53:41.120 on X too.

00:53:42.280 And he'll

00:53:45.580 also think

00:53:46.260 I don't

00:53:46.620 mean it.

00:53:48.420 Come on,

00:53:49.100 that's funny.

00:53:51.740 That is

00:53:52.400 funny.

00:53:53.540 The news

00:53:53.960 is all

00:53:54.260 funny today.

00:53:56.880 And then

00:53:57.620 Elon responded

00:53:58.640 to his mom

00:53:59.460 and he said

00:53:59.760 if someone

00:54:00.160 only reads

00:54:00.660 the New York

00:54:00.960 Times

00:54:01.200 propaganda,

00:54:02.320 they will

00:54:02.900 not know

00:54:03.440 what is

00:54:03.840 really going

00:54:04.360 on in

00:54:04.760 the world.

00:54:05.460 And that's

00:54:05.920 true of

00:54:06.380 not just

00:54:06.940 the New

00:54:07.240 York Times.

00:54:08.200 That is

00:54:08.780 true to

00:54:09.220 any source

00:54:09.900 on the

00:54:10.180 right.

00:54:11.120 It's

00:54:11.420 true of

00:54:11.780 any

00:54:12.040 documentary.

00:54:13.120 It's

00:54:13.600 true of

00:54:13.960 every

00:54:14.220 news

00:54:14.480 channel.

00:54:15.460 It's

00:54:15.760 true of

00:54:16.360 everything.

00:54:17.420 If you

00:54:18.000 don't see

00:54:18.560 the opposing

00:54:19.240 sides,

00:54:20.340 you could

00:54:20.840 not possibly

00:54:21.580 know what's

00:54:22.040 happening in

00:54:22.500 the world.

00:54:23.420 That's just

00:54:24.000 a fact.

00:54:26.380 All right.

00:54:26.820 And X is,

00:54:27.640 to my knowledge,

00:54:28.280 the only place

00:54:28.800 you can see

00:54:29.200 opposing sides

00:54:30.060 within a

00:54:31.080 filter.

00:54:32.000 Can you

00:54:32.580 think of

00:54:32.920 any other?

00:54:34.160 Does anybody

00:54:34.700 know anywhere

00:54:35.280 else you can

00:54:35.860 see opposing

00:54:36.580 sides within a

00:54:37.460 filter?

00:54:37.680 I always

00:54:38.960 like Fox

00:54:39.520 News' trick

00:54:40.280 of bringing

00:54:41.560 the least

00:54:42.340 capable person

00:54:43.280 for the

00:54:43.640 other side.

00:54:45.920 Now,

00:54:46.180 some of it's

00:54:46.700 because the

00:54:47.160 most capable

00:54:47.720 people don't

00:54:48.320 want to go

00:54:48.700 on Fox

00:54:49.260 News.

00:54:49.940 They would

00:54:51.020 shun it.

00:54:52.780 And CNN

00:54:53.220 does the

00:54:53.700 same thing.

00:54:54.760 When CNN

00:54:55.320 brings on

00:54:55.980 somebody to

00:54:56.680 argue for

00:54:58.080 the Republican

00:54:59.680 side,

00:55:00.980 they don't

00:55:01.680 send their

00:55:02.040 best.

00:55:02.320 they don't

00:55:03.900 send their

00:55:04.260 best.

00:55:06.500 Anyway,

00:55:07.760 some other

00:55:09.560 people weighed

00:55:10.040 in where I

00:55:10.700 referenced that

00:55:11.900 Biden had

00:55:12.580 destroyed the

00:55:13.200 country,

00:55:13.820 and I think

00:55:14.440 they took

00:55:14.780 that a little

00:55:15.280 bit more

00:55:15.680 literally than

00:55:16.540 I meant it,

00:55:17.700 and they

00:55:18.040 said,

00:55:18.620 oh,

00:55:18.920 you tell me

00:55:19.580 how he

00:55:19.920 destroyed the

00:55:20.640 country,

00:55:21.300 Scott.

00:55:22.820 Oh,

00:55:23.340 how did he

00:55:23.840 destroy the

00:55:25.100 country?

00:55:26.240 So,

00:55:26.960 please give

00:55:27.720 me details

00:55:28.360 and perhaps

00:55:28.980 a source

00:55:29.580 to suggest

00:55:30.940 how Biden

00:55:31.940 had destroyed

00:55:33.260 the country.

00:55:34.620 First of

00:55:35.220 all,

00:55:35.820 learn to

00:55:36.340 understand

00:55:36.800 hyperbole.

00:55:38.740 Secondly,

00:55:40.300 have you

00:55:40.700 heard about

00:55:41.120 the border

00:55:41.580 situation?

00:55:43.480 Have you

00:55:43.960 heard that

00:55:44.360 retail is

00:55:45.040 closing in

00:55:45.680 cities so

00:55:46.240 they soon

00:55:46.740 won't be

00:55:47.080 able to

00:55:47.400 buy food

00:55:48.320 or medical

00:55:48.880 supplies?

00:55:50.200 Have you

00:55:50.740 heard that

00:55:51.000 you can't

00:55:51.320 walk down

00:55:51.700 the street

00:55:52.040 safely?

00:55:52.600 Have you

00:55:52.800 heard that

00:55:53.120 we're in

00:55:53.400 a number

00:55:53.720 of wars?

00:55:54.400 Have you

00:55:54.580 heard that

00:55:54.900 Republicans

00:55:55.460 are being

00:55:55.960 jailed for

00:55:56.480 their political

00:55:57.040 opinions?

00:55:58.080 Have you

00:55:58.380 heard that

00:55:58.680 the school

00:55:59.200 system has

00:55:59.920 completely

00:56:00.540 disintegrated

00:56:02.340 largely because

00:56:03.140 of the

00:56:03.400 teachers union

00:56:04.060 which is

00:56:04.500 just a

00:56:04.880 Democrat

00:56:05.200 tool?

00:56:05.680 Have you

00:56:05.800 heard that

00:56:06.040 free speech

00:56:06.560 is gone?

00:56:07.060 Have you

00:56:07.200 heard that

00:56:07.420 equity is

00:56:08.540 replacing

00:56:09.120 merit which

00:56:10.000 will destroy

00:56:10.600 the whole

00:56:10.960 fucking

00:56:11.440 world?

00:56:13.620 The fact

00:56:14.440 that it

00:56:14.780 hasn't

00:56:15.140 happened

00:56:15.540 completely

00:56:16.900 yet is

00:56:19.940 not the

00:56:20.340 strongest

00:56:20.700 argument.

00:56:22.200 Every one

00:56:22.940 of these

00:56:23.260 things suggests

00:56:24.020 doom.

00:56:25.140 Now,

00:56:25.460 I don't

00:56:25.720 think we're

00:56:26.060 doomed because

00:56:26.500 I know a

00:56:26.920 Republican will

00:56:27.640 fix it.

00:56:28.680 There's no

00:56:29.240 way that this

00:56:29.780 continues.

00:56:31.540 They're going

00:56:32.140 to have to

00:56:32.360 do a lot

00:56:32.820 of rigging

00:56:33.280 to beat

00:56:33.740 whoever the

00:56:34.880 Republican is.

00:56:35.740 I assume it

00:56:36.100 will be

00:56:36.280 Trump.

00:56:38.360 But are

00:56:39.560 there people

00:56:40.020 who don't

00:56:40.520 think that

00:56:40.980 these things

00:56:41.440 are existential?

00:56:44.180 The equity

00:56:45.040 versus merit

00:56:46.060 is an

00:56:46.560 existential

00:56:47.060 risk.

00:56:47.940 It's the

00:56:48.340 biggest one

00:56:48.840 we have.

00:56:49.860 It's bigger

00:56:50.380 than climate

00:56:50.880 change.

00:56:51.440 It's bigger

00:56:51.700 than nuclear

00:56:52.200 war.

00:56:53.000 This is the

00:56:53.700 single biggest

00:56:54.260 risk to the

00:56:54.820 country.

00:56:55.500 How do you

00:56:55.940 not know

00:56:56.320 that?

00:56:57.660 Let me

00:56:58.040 explain how

00:56:58.540 you don't

00:56:58.820 know it.

00:57:00.540 Have you

00:57:01.800 ever heard

00:57:02.120 this before?

00:57:03.320 That the

00:57:04.140 progressives only

00:57:05.620 do what looks

00:57:07.940 good on paper

00:57:08.700 and Republicans

00:57:10.820 do things that

00:57:11.760 look like they

00:57:12.320 would be a

00:57:12.760 system that

00:57:13.340 could work in

00:57:13.940 the long run.

00:57:15.500 And that's the

00:57:16.320 entire political

00:57:17.120 difference.

00:57:19.360 The Democrats

00:57:20.320 do things that

00:57:21.180 look good on

00:57:22.440 paper but can't

00:57:23.800 possibly work.

00:57:24.660 and the

00:57:26.440 Republicans will

00:57:27.180 do something

00:57:27.700 that hurts

00:57:28.300 like hell

00:57:28.880 if it's a

00:57:30.060 good system

00:57:30.680 and it'll

00:57:31.420 work in the

00:57:31.840 long run.

00:57:33.620 Yeah.

00:57:34.440 Now, I

00:57:35.240 have to give

00:57:35.580 credit to

00:57:36.480 just give me

00:57:38.500 a moment

00:57:38.840 because I

00:57:39.300 didn't make

00:57:39.620 that up.

00:57:40.560 So there's a

00:57:41.080 book on

00:57:43.020 that.

00:57:44.680 It's a book

00:57:45.360 called

00:57:45.740 Cynical

00:57:46.520 Theories.

00:57:47.060 And it

00:57:49.280 talks about

00:57:49.820 the fact

00:57:52.200 that,

00:57:52.640 yeah,

00:57:54.380 talks about

00:57:54.820 the fact

00:57:55.200 that the

00:57:56.700 book,

00:57:57.460 well, the

00:57:57.880 book talks

00:57:58.260 about the

00:57:58.540 fact that

00:57:59.180 Democrats

00:57:59.880 do things

00:58:00.360 that look

00:58:00.720 good on

00:58:01.020 paper.

00:58:01.640 And that's

00:58:02.060 basically the

00:58:02.720 whole story.

00:58:04.600 Now, I'm

00:58:05.700 going to get

00:58:06.000 to some

00:58:07.140 examples of

00:58:07.740 that in a

00:58:08.040 moment.

00:58:08.880 But first,

00:58:09.380 let's talk

00:58:09.660 about Bidenomics.

00:58:12.200 So Biden

00:58:13.300 said today in

00:58:13.900 a post on

00:58:14.340 X, he

00:58:14.660 said experts

00:58:15.380 said that to

00:58:16.780 get inflation

00:58:17.440 under control,

00:58:18.460 we needed to

00:58:19.200 drive up

00:58:19.700 unemployment.

00:58:20.840 We found a

00:58:21.580 better way.

00:58:22.620 Under my

00:58:23.100 plan,

00:58:23.920 unemployment

00:58:24.360 has been

00:58:25.160 under 4%

00:58:26.920 for two full

00:58:27.640 years, and

00:58:28.500 inflation has

00:58:29.260 been at the

00:58:29.820 pre-pandemic

00:58:30.540 level of 2%

00:58:31.560 over the

00:58:32.440 last half

00:58:33.380 a year.

00:58:36.740 So where

00:58:38.700 do I

00:58:39.060 start?

00:58:40.860 Where do

00:58:41.720 I start?

00:58:42.460 We can

00:58:42.760 start with

00:58:43.280 the fake

00:58:43.960 inflation

00:58:44.540 numbers.

00:58:45.160 all I'll

00:58:46.520 say is

00:58:47.020 that none

00:58:47.980 of the

00:58:48.300 economic

00:58:48.780 numbers are

00:58:49.340 real.

00:58:50.880 It's an

00:58:51.440 election year.

00:58:52.440 If you're a 0.88

00:58:53.220 citizen of the

00:58:53.860 United States

00:58:54.460 and you see

00:58:54.980 economic statistics

00:58:56.420 in an election

00:58:57.220 year, the

00:58:58.320 first thing you

00:58:58.940 should say is

00:58:59.560 that's not

00:59:00.000 true, and

00:59:01.420 then you

00:59:01.660 should just

00:59:02.020 keep it

00:59:02.360 that way.

00:59:04.600 Nothing's

00:59:05.080 true about

00:59:05.760 economics in

00:59:07.280 an election

00:59:07.660 year because

00:59:08.820 the government

00:59:09.320 controls those

00:59:10.180 numbers.

00:59:10.880 So of course

00:59:11.460 they're going

00:59:11.840 to be friendly

00:59:12.360 to the

00:59:12.760 government

00:59:13.060 and power.

00:59:14.160 I think

00:59:14.480 you'll see

00:59:14.820 that every

00:59:15.200 time.

00:59:16.060 But I

00:59:16.880 came here

00:59:17.300 just to

00:59:17.700 mock this,

00:59:18.420 and so

00:59:18.800 here's what

00:59:19.240 I ask.

00:59:20.220 So Biden

00:59:20.680 says he

00:59:21.480 didn't listen

00:59:22.060 to the

00:59:22.440 economic

00:59:22.940 experts when

00:59:24.460 he concocted

00:59:25.520 his imaginary

00:59:26.200 economic plan.

00:59:28.080 So that

00:59:28.760 opens the

00:59:29.280 question,

00:59:30.260 who exactly

00:59:30.900 did he

00:59:31.340 listen to

00:59:31.960 if when

00:59:33.460 he made

00:59:33.840 his economic

00:59:34.580 plan for

00:59:35.320 the biggest

00:59:35.840 economy in

00:59:37.040 the world,

00:59:38.220 he didn't

00:59:38.760 listen to the

00:59:39.280 experts and

00:59:39.900 he's bragging

00:59:40.400 about it.

00:59:40.860 Who

00:59:41.560 exactly did

00:59:42.220 he listen

00:59:42.540 to?

00:59:43.360 I have

00:59:43.940 two guesses.

00:59:44.660 One would

00:59:44.960 be the

00:59:45.260 migrants and

00:59:47.140 the other

00:59:47.440 would be

00:59:47.760 other

00:59:48.080 dementia

00:59:48.500 patients.

00:59:49.880 Because I

00:59:51.420 don't think

00:59:51.800 you could

00:59:52.120 come up

00:59:52.760 with this

00:59:53.140 shit by

00:59:53.760 talking to

00:59:54.260 experts and

00:59:54.980 he's admitted

00:59:55.520 that he

00:59:55.900 didn't.

00:59:56.960 So why

00:59:57.700 are we okay

00:59:58.420 that the

00:59:58.820 guy in

00:59:59.180 charge of

00:59:59.660 our economy

01:00:00.300 isn't talking

01:00:00.960 to the

01:00:01.240 experts and

01:00:01.840 when they

01:00:02.100 tell him to

01:00:02.480 do something

01:00:02.940 he does

01:00:03.340 the opposite?

01:00:04.840 Maybe it

01:00:05.400 worked,

01:00:06.540 but I

01:00:07.020 wouldn't brag

01:00:07.620 about it.

01:00:08.700 You know

01:00:09.000 what I mean?

01:00:09.400 Maybe he

01:00:10.660 got exactly

01:00:11.300 what he

01:00:11.640 wanted because

01:00:12.300 actually this

01:00:12.820 is a good

01:00:13.220 result.

01:00:14.020 Employment

01:00:14.540 not being

01:00:15.420 that bad

01:00:15.880 and inflation

01:00:16.400 coming down,

01:00:17.100 that's a good

01:00:17.480 result.

01:00:18.720 But can you

01:00:20.060 tell me which

01:00:20.580 parts of his

01:00:21.280 economic plan

01:00:22.300 caused that?

01:00:23.640 Go.

01:00:24.700 List all of

01:00:25.420 his economic

01:00:26.000 plan.

01:00:28.320 Uh-huh.

01:00:29.100 Nothing?

01:00:29.980 Nothing?

01:00:30.660 Oh, wait.

01:00:31.680 There was that

01:00:32.260 infrastructure bill.

01:00:33.260 The infrastructure

01:00:35.940 bill.

01:00:37.140 That's it?

01:00:39.080 That's it?

01:00:41.720 And are you

01:00:42.740 doing better

01:00:43.240 because of the

01:00:43.760 infrastructure bill?

01:00:46.520 Do you know

01:00:47.200 anybody who got

01:00:47.900 hired, got a

01:00:48.960 job to work on

01:00:50.240 the new

01:00:50.580 infrastructure?

01:00:51.640 I don't.

01:00:52.820 Never heard of

01:00:53.340 it.

01:00:54.460 Nope.

01:00:55.440 And how did

01:00:56.140 the infrastructure

01:00:56.680 bill, which

01:00:57.800 should drive up

01:00:58.620 inflation, how

01:00:59.380 did that lower 0.62

01:00:59.860 inflation?

01:01:00.260 Can he connect

01:01:02.460 anything he did

01:01:03.840 if he did

01:01:05.460 anything?

01:01:06.440 I mean, I

01:01:06.940 remember when he

01:01:07.620 drained our

01:01:08.360 national reserves

01:01:10.240 of oil.

01:01:11.640 I remember that.

01:01:13.120 Is that how he

01:01:13.780 helped inflation?

01:01:15.380 Well, it did help

01:01:16.000 inflation.

01:01:17.320 Or did it make

01:01:18.240 inflation worse?

01:01:19.480 Because then he

01:01:19.960 was, I don't

01:01:21.420 know.

01:01:22.420 Did it make

01:01:22.820 inflation worse?

01:01:24.080 Let me think.

01:01:24.700 If you drain the

01:01:25.480 national reserves,

01:01:27.220 you're decreasing

01:01:28.660 the cost of oil

01:01:29.680 because you have

01:01:30.120 more competition.

01:01:31.700 So it should

01:01:32.120 make inflation

01:01:32.680 better.

01:01:33.180 Yeah.

01:01:33.580 So when he's

01:01:34.120 bragging about

01:01:34.660 inflation coming

01:01:35.400 down, shouldn't

01:01:37.060 he mention that

01:01:37.800 the way he did

01:01:38.300 it was giving

01:01:38.900 away our

01:01:39.320 strategic reserves

01:01:40.400 and we can't

01:01:41.780 fill it back up

01:01:42.480 because it costs

01:01:43.320 too much now?

01:01:46.160 I think Trump

01:01:47.500 wanted to fill it

01:01:48.280 up when gas was

01:01:49.240 cheap, the exact

01:01:50.700 right time to do

01:01:51.480 it.

01:01:53.460 All right.

01:01:55.380 So I would

01:01:56.620 like to see

01:01:57.120 someone do an

01:01:57.940 interview on the

01:01:58.580 street or even

01:02:00.240 on TV with

01:02:01.380 experts and

01:02:01.940 say, well,

01:02:03.080 Biden is

01:02:03.780 bragging about

01:02:04.320 his economic

01:02:04.920 plan.

01:02:05.920 Can you give

01:02:06.500 us the top

01:02:07.280 three things in

01:02:08.220 his economic

01:02:08.820 plan?

01:02:09.460 Go.

01:02:10.620 Let's see you

01:02:11.200 do it.

01:02:12.040 You're all well

01:02:12.860 informed, so tell

01:02:14.180 me the top three

01:02:14.920 things of his

01:02:15.500 plan.

01:02:18.140 Infrastructure

01:02:18.700 bill.

01:02:20.600 And then,

01:02:21.320 well, so you

01:02:22.740 ever ask anybody

01:02:23.480 to list three

01:02:24.460 things when you

01:02:25.140 already knew one

01:02:25.820 of them, what

01:02:27.240 do they always

01:02:27.660 do?

01:02:29.460 If you said,

01:02:30.440 oh, Bob, I

01:02:31.820 know you like

01:02:32.400 three kinds of

01:02:33.300 foods.

01:02:34.280 I can remember

01:02:34.900 you love ice

01:02:35.620 cream, but what

01:02:36.900 are the other

01:02:37.280 two?

01:02:37.920 What will Bob

01:02:38.560 say?

01:02:39.540 He'll say, well,

01:02:41.240 I like, let's

01:02:42.920 see, I'm trying

01:02:43.220 to remember.

01:02:44.220 I like ice

01:02:44.800 cream.

01:02:45.660 Like, Bob, I

01:02:46.360 just fucking said

01:02:47.240 that.

01:02:48.000 Don't say that

01:02:48.680 back to me.

01:02:49.360 I just said, I

01:02:50.740 know you like

01:02:51.240 three things.

01:02:52.080 The one I know

01:02:52.800 is ice cream.

01:02:53.720 Don't start your

01:02:54.360 sentence with your

01:02:55.040 answer with,

01:02:55.460 well, there's

01:02:56.840 ice cream.

01:02:58.920 Can't think of,

01:03:00.620 did I say ice

01:03:01.780 cream yet?

01:03:02.720 So on the list,

01:03:03.440 we've got the

01:03:03.800 ice cream, we've

01:03:04.540 got the, well,

01:03:06.560 we're starting

01:03:06.920 with the ice

01:03:07.340 cream, and then

01:03:08.640 the other two

01:03:09.440 that are on top

01:03:10.240 of the ice

01:03:10.580 cream.

01:03:14.440 All right.

01:03:16.860 So, yeah, I'd

01:03:17.620 like to see

01:03:18.060 somebody ask the

01:03:19.100 details of his

01:03:19.900 economic plan,

01:03:20.800 because as far

01:03:21.260 as I know,

01:03:21.640 there isn't one,

01:03:22.260 right?

01:03:23.220 Am I wrong that

01:03:23.980 there actually

01:03:24.620 isn't an

01:03:25.360 economic plan?

01:03:27.400 Or that I've

01:03:28.220 never heard

01:03:28.580 one?

01:03:31.500 Wait, that's

01:03:33.420 not true.

01:03:34.920 I'm exaggerating

01:03:35.760 a little bit.

01:03:36.680 There is an

01:03:37.280 economic plan,

01:03:38.160 if I'm being

01:03:38.780 honest.

01:03:40.380 There's the

01:03:40.980 infrastructure bill,

01:03:41.880 and let's go to

01:03:46.560 the next story.

01:03:48.200 As you know, we

01:03:49.000 live in a

01:03:49.420 hoaxocracy, and

01:03:50.540 Vivek Ramaswamy is

01:03:52.720 listing a few.

01:03:53.620 He says the

01:03:54.000 MSM, MSM,

01:03:55.520 mainstream media,

01:03:58.580 lies like it's

01:04:00.140 their profession.

01:04:01.860 That's not true,

01:04:03.100 Vivek.

01:04:04.260 I feel like that's

01:04:05.480 so wrong.

01:04:07.580 He's saying the

01:04:08.120 mainstream media

01:04:09.420 lies like it's

01:04:10.400 their profession.

01:04:11.180 Well, I'm going

01:04:12.880 to disagree with

01:04:13.480 that.

01:04:14.500 No, they 1.00

01:04:15.020 lie like it's

01:04:15.840 the job they

01:04:16.500 want.

01:04:18.840 Boom.

01:04:20.680 Yeah.

01:04:22.100 They lie like

01:04:23.000 it's the job they

01:04:23.680 want.

01:04:25.920 All right, and

01:04:26.700 he lists some

01:04:28.260 of the hoaxes.

01:04:30.860 Now, you've

01:04:31.400 heard my list

01:04:32.100 before, but

01:04:32.780 here's his list.

01:04:33.440 Russia collusion,

01:04:36.800 Hunter Biden

01:04:37.680 laptop, Charlottesville,

01:04:38.760 Bubba Wallace,

01:04:39.460 Juicy Smollett,

01:04:41.160 Covington Catholic

01:04:42.000 students, Gretchen

01:04:42.760 Whitmer, Kid

01:04:43.320 McPlop, COVID

01:04:44.920 leak, a lab leak

01:04:46.300 was a conspiracy

01:04:47.060 theory, steel dossier,

01:04:48.600 dosage, was in the

01:04:49.520 bill, migrant kids

01:04:50.280 in cages, Georgia

01:04:52.240 election integrity was

01:04:53.460 the new Jim Crow, Duke 0.92

01:04:54.360 lacrosse kids, January

01:04:55.240 6th video force,

01:04:56.320 peaceful, MF, BLM,

01:04:58.540 bryosin, ivermectin,

01:04:59.820 a horse team

01:05:00.520 murmurs, Trump

01:05:01.480 used tear gas to

01:05:03.020 clear a crowd from

01:05:03.720 a Bible photo, the

01:05:05.300 list goes on.

01:05:09.200 Now, I usually

01:05:11.020 make fun of list

01:05:12.440 persuasion, because

01:05:14.540 usually when you do

01:05:15.420 list persuasion, it's

01:05:16.740 fake, you know, the

01:05:17.880 things on the list

01:05:18.660 are, you know, maybe

01:05:19.680 one of them is real

01:05:20.520 and the others are

01:05:21.180 fake, so it looks

01:05:21.800 like more, but

01:05:23.240 every one of these

01:05:23.880 is real.

01:05:25.420 You can check for

01:05:26.440 yourself.

01:05:27.560 You can absolutely

01:05:28.380 check to see what

01:05:29.240 the headline was,

01:05:29.820 was in the

01:05:30.280 beginning, and

01:05:31.460 then you can go

01:05:32.060 back and check and

01:05:32.880 find out what

01:05:33.580 eventually the story

01:05:34.880 became.

01:05:36.200 There's no mystery to

01:05:37.560 any of these.

01:05:38.880 Every one of these

01:05:39.860 was a media hoax.

01:05:43.200 We don't know the

01:05:44.080 intentionality of it,

01:05:45.200 but they were

01:05:45.500 definitely not true.

01:05:47.020 All right.

01:05:48.700 Apparently, Congress

01:05:49.660 completely stopped

01:05:50.740 pretending to do

01:05:51.640 the work of the

01:05:52.200 people.

01:05:52.860 Matt Gaetz reports

01:05:53.740 that the Senate

01:05:55.300 amnesty bill would

01:05:58.240 literally force

01:05:59.100 President Trump,

01:06:00.100 assuming he comes

01:06:01.080 into office, to

01:06:02.160 let in illegals

01:06:03.080 well into his

01:06:03.880 term.

01:06:04.960 So they're not

01:06:05.800 only trying to

01:06:06.540 screw us now, 0.62

01:06:07.720 they're trying to

01:06:08.480 put some mechanism

01:06:10.100 in place to

01:06:11.400 prevent Trump from

01:06:12.640 ever fixing it.

01:06:14.640 Really?

01:06:16.040 Really?

01:06:17.060 That's actually

01:06:17.720 happening in the

01:06:18.980 real world?

01:06:20.740 And Gaetz says,

01:06:22.560 any Republican who

01:06:23.380 votes for this is no

01:06:24.320 better than the

01:06:24.940 Democrat?

01:06:27.260 Paging Bill Maher.

01:06:29.180 Paging Bill Maher.

01:06:31.500 We all agree on

01:06:33.460 this.

01:06:35.020 You and Matt Gaetz

01:06:36.120 are on the same

01:06:37.260 page.

01:06:38.740 It's the GOP.

01:06:40.760 It's not just the

01:06:42.260 Democrats.

01:06:43.660 Yeah.

01:06:45.400 So it feels like the

01:06:47.420 Senate just completely

01:06:48.920 stopped pretending to

01:06:50.500 be on the same side as

01:06:51.500 the humans that they

01:06:53.820 should represent.

01:06:54.920 I don't feel like

01:06:55.660 they're even trying.

01:06:56.980 In fact, we've

01:06:57.680 become a hoaxocracy,

01:07:00.280 but also a

01:07:01.160 confusopoly.

01:07:01.900 You know, a

01:07:03.540 confusopoly is a

01:07:04.600 term I invented

01:07:05.980 years ago for,

01:07:07.520 let's say,

01:07:09.380 cell phone companies

01:07:10.260 and insurance

01:07:10.900 companies.

01:07:11.360 When they compete

01:07:12.040 against each other,

01:07:13.160 since they're

01:07:13.820 basically selling a

01:07:14.860 commodity, they 1.00

01:07:16.920 just make it really

01:07:17.980 complicated so

01:07:19.040 consumers can't tell

01:07:20.040 which one to buy.

01:07:20.860 It's like, oh,

01:07:22.060 this insurance, I

01:07:23.780 don't know, is it

01:07:24.520 better than the

01:07:25.040 other insurance?

01:07:25.920 I'm not even sure.

01:07:27.240 How do I tell?

01:07:28.620 So you just buy the

01:07:29.880 one that talks to

01:07:30.540 you first.

01:07:32.560 So that works for

01:07:33.540 everybody because it

01:07:34.240 keeps everybody in

01:07:34.960 business, but nobody

01:07:35.820 can dominate.

01:07:36.920 So that's a

01:07:37.360 confusopoly.

01:07:38.560 But I would say the

01:07:39.500 Senate has become a

01:07:41.080 confusopoly because

01:07:42.220 they spend more of

01:07:43.380 their time preventing

01:07:44.880 the public from

01:07:45.780 knowing what they're

01:07:46.460 doing than informing

01:07:48.360 the public.

01:07:49.040 boom.

01:07:53.640 That's a

01:07:54.160 confusopoly.

01:07:56.280 If you were to

01:07:57.000 just add up the

01:07:57.780 time spent explaining,

01:08:00.360 let's say,

01:08:01.000 accurately, not

01:08:02.060 explaining just,

01:08:03.820 you know, the

01:08:04.140 political spin, but

01:08:06.240 just accurately

01:08:07.100 explaining what's in

01:08:08.240 the bill, you don't

01:08:09.340 even have to tell me

01:08:10.020 to vote for it or

01:08:10.760 not vote for it.

01:08:11.740 Just describe it.

01:08:13.440 Just get in front of 1.00

01:08:14.260 the microphone and

01:08:14.820 say, all right,

01:08:15.360 there's a bill coming

01:08:16.040 up.

01:08:16.700 It's got this and

01:08:17.840 that and that.

01:08:19.040 And we'll talk

01:08:19.900 about which parts

01:08:20.560 we like and what

01:08:21.180 we don't.

01:08:21.500 But I'm just

01:08:21.860 describing it to

01:08:22.840 you so you are an

01:08:23.840 informed voter.

01:08:25.320 Nope.

01:08:26.220 Because even the

01:08:27.100 senators are not

01:08:27.980 allowed to know

01:08:28.520 what's in the bill.

01:08:29.480 They're only allowed

01:08:30.380 to know that their

01:08:31.480 puppet masters want

01:08:33.520 them to vote for it.

01:08:34.440 And if they don't,

01:08:35.140 they're not going to

01:08:35.640 get a committee

01:08:36.160 assignment, which

01:08:37.840 gets extra pay and

01:08:39.100 all kinds of

01:08:40.240 benefits.

01:08:42.740 So Pelosi and

01:08:45.920 company and

01:08:46.500 Schumer, and I'm

01:08:48.060 sure the Republicans

01:08:48.760 are just as guilty,

01:08:50.900 like to make things

01:08:53.160 so complicated that

01:08:54.360 they can all get

01:08:55.020 their pet pork

01:08:56.380 through and the

01:08:57.240 things that they're

01:08:58.020 scamming money from

01:08:59.000 and they can money

01:08:59.700 and launder.

01:09:00.580 And as long as the

01:09:01.340 other team is getting

01:09:02.120 their taste, both

01:09:03.580 teams get a taste,

01:09:04.960 it's basically how to

01:09:06.140 screw the public

01:09:06.940 without telling the

01:09:07.720 public what they're

01:09:08.300 doing, keeping us

01:09:09.680 in the dark, and

01:09:11.340 not even really

01:09:12.180 pretending to do the

01:09:13.180 work of the people

01:09:13.820 anymore.

01:09:15.100 Not even pretending.

01:09:20.940 So it looks like

01:09:21.860 what they did was

01:09:22.640 they're creating a

01:09:23.280 bill that allows

01:09:25.380 them to keep funding

01:09:26.500 their corrupt

01:09:27.520 Ukraine war, so

01:09:28.800 they get to keep

01:09:29.380 all the corruption

01:09:30.540 and the money

01:09:31.620 laundering that they

01:09:32.320 like.

01:09:33.680 But we also give

01:09:34.880 our money to

01:09:35.820 Israel, which has

01:09:37.420 a better debt

01:09:38.860 to GDP ratio

01:09:40.180 than us, so

01:09:41.200 really Israel

01:09:41.980 should be giving

01:09:42.740 us money as

01:09:45.120 our allies, but

01:09:45.980 no, we're going

01:09:46.620 to reverse it.

01:09:48.460 And then the

01:09:50.020 deal is to also

01:09:50.820 keep our borders 0.85

01:09:51.600 open far more

01:09:52.780 than we think

01:09:53.300 makes sense or

01:09:54.640 would be safe.

01:09:56.940 You know, I

01:09:57.540 remember when

01:09:58.360 compromise was,

01:10:00.880 if I accept this

01:10:02.160 thing I don't like,

01:10:04.520 you know, you'll

01:10:05.180 let me have this

01:10:05.800 thing that's good.

01:10:07.140 So I'll take a

01:10:08.040 little imperfection

01:10:08.920 to get, you

01:10:09.480 know, a little

01:10:09.800 more good.

01:10:11.580 But it looks like

01:10:12.500 our Congress just

01:10:13.300 decided on three

01:10:14.200 bad things.

01:10:17.940 Shouldn't it be,

01:10:19.240 you know, maybe

01:10:19.660 there's one good

01:10:20.380 thing which allows

01:10:22.380 us to accept the

01:10:23.280 bad things, and

01:10:24.280 that would be like

01:10:24.840 a negotiation?

01:10:26.800 But in what

01:10:27.620 world do you put

01:10:29.380 three bad things

01:10:30.340 together that no

01:10:32.240 nobody in the

01:10:32.980 public wants, I

01:10:34.100 mean by majority,

01:10:35.280 and then sell

01:10:36.660 that to us as a

01:10:38.000 compromise?

01:10:39.640 No, that's three

01:10:40.700 bad things put

01:10:41.500 together.

01:10:42.540 That's not a

01:10:43.260 compromise.

01:10:44.820 That's something

01:10:45.540 nobody wants.

01:10:47.780 Nobody wants.

01:10:49.700 All right.

01:10:51.260 When I say nobody

01:10:52.320 wants it, what I

01:10:53.240 mean is I don't

01:10:55.180 think people want

01:10:56.060 this bill where

01:10:57.060 these three things

01:10:57.800 are tied together.

01:10:58.940 I don't think

01:10:59.480 anybody wants that,

01:11:00.260 and I don't think

01:11:00.700 anybody wants these

01:11:01.420 things individually

01:11:02.220 by a majority.

01:11:04.040 There are

01:11:04.360 individuals who

01:11:05.080 want them.

01:11:05.440 When I say not

01:11:06.120 anybody, I mean

01:11:06.840 the majority of

01:11:07.520 the people.

01:11:08.780 That's my

01:11:09.320 understanding.

01:11:10.100 Maybe I'm wrong

01:11:10.640 about that, but I

01:11:11.340 don't think anybody

01:11:11.900 wants any of it,

01:11:13.800 meaning the majority.

01:11:15.460 All right.

01:11:18.400 So apparently

01:11:19.300 the GOP wants to

01:11:23.500 give more money to

01:11:24.400 these NGOs, these

01:11:25.680 non-government

01:11:26.500 organizations that

01:11:27.560 are part of the

01:11:29.500 vast network helping

01:11:30.720 the migrants get 1.00

01:11:31.660 here.

01:11:32.640 So the GOP wants

01:11:34.100 to give them

01:11:34.520 another $2 billion

01:11:35.460 when Elon Musk

01:11:39.220 and he said this

01:11:41.160 in the post, he

01:11:42.360 said, NGO

01:11:43.180 personnel who

01:11:44.460 deliberately and

01:11:45.280 repeatedly broke

01:11:46.200 the law to

01:11:47.260 facilitate illegal

01:11:48.340 immigration should

01:11:49.660 face prosecution

01:11:50.720 immediately, but

01:11:52.500 instead they're

01:11:53.120 being rewarded

01:11:53.820 with a lot of

01:11:54.540 extra money.

01:11:56.860 Does that look

01:11:57.680 like the Congress

01:11:58.400 is on your

01:11:58.960 side?

01:12:00.360 Doesn't to me.

01:12:01.960 It doesn't even

01:12:02.740 look like a little

01:12:03.440 bit they're trying

01:12:04.140 to be on

01:12:05.020 America's side.

01:12:06.500 Where's even the

01:12:07.300 cover story?

01:12:08.500 How about a cover

01:12:09.140 story that it's

01:12:09.860 good for us?

01:12:11.200 You can't even lie

01:12:11.940 to us and tell us

01:12:13.440 why this is good

01:12:14.120 for us?

01:12:15.140 I don't see any

01:12:15.960 explanation for why

01:12:16.900 it's good.

01:12:17.580 I believe these

01:12:18.240 people should be in

01:12:18.980 jail.

01:12:20.500 Why shouldn't they

01:12:21.260 be in jail for

01:12:22.460 breaking our laws to

01:12:23.740 encourage mass

01:12:24.820 illegal immigration?

01:12:25.660 Yeah, that's

01:12:28.260 jail.

01:12:31.440 All right, here's

01:12:32.760 another fun one.

01:12:35.620 I have this view

01:12:36.860 about libertarians

01:12:37.980 that goes like

01:12:39.240 this.

01:12:40.260 You can't be a

01:12:41.460 libertarian unless

01:12:43.780 you're like, let's

01:12:44.960 say, Thomas Massey

01:12:45.940 or Rand Paul, who

01:12:49.420 I appreciate when I

01:12:50.860 disagree with them

01:12:51.720 because I like the

01:12:54.060 fact that there's

01:12:54.800 always a strong

01:12:55.580 libertarian

01:12:56.600 perspective on

01:12:58.380 everything because

01:13:00.080 you need it.

01:13:01.220 But what you

01:13:01.920 definitely don't

01:13:02.620 need is a

01:13:03.860 libertarian country.

01:13:06.380 Can somebody do a

01:13:07.640 fact check?

01:13:08.600 Has there ever

01:13:09.180 been a libertarian

01:13:10.320 government that

01:13:11.180 worked?

01:13:12.580 Because it can't

01:13:13.440 work, right?

01:13:14.040 Even on paper, it

01:13:15.020 doesn't make sense.

01:13:16.560 Yeah, it couldn't

01:13:17.120 possibly work.

01:13:18.520 So when I see

01:13:19.380 libertarians like

01:13:21.400 Massey and Rand,

01:13:22.860 Paul, I say to

01:13:24.320 myself, you know

01:13:25.040 what?

01:13:25.900 I used to be a

01:13:27.820 little bit opposed

01:13:28.440 to them because

01:13:29.000 maybe they were

01:13:30.580 pushing back on

01:13:31.320 something I didn't

01:13:31.920 want them to push

01:13:32.660 on.

01:13:33.320 But now I love the

01:13:34.320 fact that they're

01:13:34.860 part of the

01:13:35.260 conversation.

01:13:36.720 Because I don't

01:13:37.340 think you should

01:13:37.800 ever have a

01:13:38.380 conversation where

01:13:39.840 you don't have the

01:13:40.660 libertarian

01:13:41.960 perspective.

01:13:42.840 somebody's saying

01:13:44.580 they're

01:13:44.740 Argentina, but I

01:13:46.020 wouldn't call them

01:13:46.740 libertarian.

01:13:47.520 That just seems like

01:13:48.260 free market.

01:13:50.120 To me, that just

01:13:50.800 looks like capitalism.

01:13:54.120 So when you have a

01:13:56.300 libertarian who's not

01:13:58.140 in the government,

01:13:59.180 you know, being part

01:13:59.780 of the important

01:14:00.240 conversation, you can

01:14:02.200 fairly easily trigger

01:14:03.420 them into cognitive

01:14:04.340 dissonance.

01:14:05.500 So I'm going to talk

01:14:06.180 about a little

01:14:06.640 conversation I had

01:14:07.920 online with Dave

01:14:08.660 Smith, who goes by

01:14:10.940 Comic Dave Smith.

01:14:12.020 Do you all know

01:14:12.560 him?

01:14:13.420 Pretty well known

01:14:14.500 in at least the

01:14:15.700 conservative side of

01:14:16.540 the world.

01:14:17.840 Yeah.

01:14:19.580 So he does a good

01:14:20.780 product.

01:14:22.120 He's good on a lot

01:14:23.180 of shows and he's

01:14:23.840 got his own podcast.

01:14:25.280 I would recommend

01:14:26.140 it.

01:14:26.340 He has great guests

01:14:27.100 and he has a

01:14:28.100 libertarian point of

01:14:30.120 view that you should

01:14:30.620 see.

01:14:32.880 Anyway, he was

01:14:35.040 talking on a recent

01:14:35.680 podcast that Netanyahu

01:14:38.100 was aware that

01:14:39.980 supporting Hamas 0.83

01:14:41.040 would basically kill

01:14:42.900 any chance of a

01:14:43.900 two-state solution

01:14:44.940 and would lead to

01:14:46.240 something, you know,

01:14:48.280 not exactly like

01:14:49.200 October 7th, but

01:14:50.840 that certainly it was

01:14:51.740 going to blow up. 0.87

01:14:53.120 And the notion is

01:14:54.040 that Netanyahu has

01:14:55.020 said in public that

01:14:57.160 he was supporting

01:14:58.260 Hamas because you 0.96

01:15:00.840 needed it to blow up

01:15:02.420 worse so they could

01:15:04.200 basically get rid of

01:15:05.120 this two-state solution

01:15:06.200 thing.

01:15:06.740 I hope I'm describing

01:15:08.200 that about right.

01:15:08.920 I think that's

01:15:09.520 about right.

01:15:10.260 So the idea is that

01:15:11.260 Netanyahu always had a

01:15:12.500 plan that did include

01:15:14.620 some death and

01:15:16.540 destruction to Israel 0.99

01:15:17.580 but that his plan

01:15:19.840 would be in the

01:15:21.240 longer term he

01:15:22.900 wouldn't have to have

01:15:23.600 two states and they

01:15:24.620 could, you know,

01:15:25.120 dominate the region

01:15:25.960 and maybe it would be

01:15:27.040 safer or better in the

01:15:28.820 long run.

01:15:29.280 I guess that would be

01:15:29.860 the argument.

01:15:30.240 Now, I thought it was

01:15:34.220 necessary to point out

01:15:37.340 that if that was

01:15:38.900 Netanyahu's plan, which

01:15:40.840 I do accept because he

01:15:42.340 said things in public

01:15:43.500 apparently that were

01:15:45.020 like it and it makes

01:15:45.900 sense, you know,

01:15:46.840 anecdotally,

01:15:47.760 observationally, kind

01:15:49.800 of does look like it.

01:15:50.880 Now, part of this also

01:15:51.940 that Dave Smith said was

01:15:55.080 that Netanyahu did not

01:15:56.300 sufficiently defend

01:15:57.740 Israel from the 0.99

01:15:59.120 October 7th attack and

01:16:01.040 that perhaps that was

01:16:02.040 intentional as well.

01:16:03.700 That's too far.

01:16:05.880 That's a little mind

01:16:06.840 reading.

01:16:07.700 I can't actually imagine

01:16:09.320 Netanyahu intentionally,

01:16:10.940 first of all, knowing,

01:16:12.500 you know, the nature of

01:16:13.480 how well it was

01:16:14.200 defended because it's not

01:16:15.820 something the prime

01:16:16.860 minister is going to

01:16:17.520 know in detail.

01:16:18.520 So I doubt he knew that

01:16:19.520 it was that poorly

01:16:20.520 defended and I definitely

01:16:22.140 doubt he gave any

01:16:23.180 orders to poorly defend

01:16:24.600 it.

01:16:25.740 So I feel like that's a

01:16:27.000 little bit goes into

01:16:28.320 the mind reading.

01:16:29.120 But you can't rule it

01:16:30.400 out.

01:16:31.260 I can't rule it out.

01:16:32.380 I just don't think it's

01:16:33.220 an evidence.

01:16:34.280 However, even without

01:16:35.220 that part, here's the

01:16:36.660 important part is, did

01:16:38.060 Netanyahu know that

01:16:39.980 supporting Hamas, you 0.93

01:16:41.220 know, financially and

01:16:42.120 politically would lead

01:16:43.780 to something so bad that

01:16:46.000 it would allow Netanyahu 0.97

01:16:47.180 to cynically get the

01:16:50.380 control of the region

01:16:51.460 that he always wanted?

01:16:52.300 And I said, you know, that

01:16:55.380 might be a reasonable

01:16:56.160 interpretation, but you

01:16:57.260 have to, it's worth

01:16:59.060 noting that his plan

01:17:00.600 worked or that it looks

01:17:02.720 like it's working.

01:17:04.280 Now, does anybody

01:17:05.920 disagree with that?

01:17:08.300 That if that was the

01:17:09.300 plan, we're just taking

01:17:10.600 that as our speculative

01:17:12.040 assumption.

01:17:12.860 The plan was to destroy

01:17:14.600 the possibility of a

01:17:15.780 two-state solution so that

01:17:19.400 in the long run, Israel 0.86

01:17:20.440 could control the area.

01:17:22.600 Wouldn't you say it's

01:17:23.300 working?

01:17:24.740 If that was the plan.

01:17:26.140 And again, you'd have to

01:17:27.220 accept that as an

01:17:28.060 assumption.

01:17:28.960 But if that was the plan,

01:17:30.040 it's working.

01:17:32.160 And then you'd have to

01:17:33.280 say to yourself, but what

01:17:34.880 about the long term?

01:17:37.080 You know, maybe in the

01:17:37.760 short term, there's, you

01:17:38.980 know, lots of death and

01:17:39.720 destruction nobody likes.

01:17:41.440 But in the long term, do

01:17:42.780 they come out ahead?

01:17:44.060 To which I say, you don't

01:17:46.540 know.

01:17:47.760 You don't know.

01:17:49.140 I don't know what the

01:17:49.960 future looks like.

01:17:51.300 But I doubt it's giving

01:17:53.140 control back to the

01:17:54.380 locals.

01:17:55.240 I don't think that's

01:17:55.980 going to happen.

01:17:58.160 So I just wanted to put

01:17:59.380 some context there that

01:18:00.800 you can say that he's

01:18:02.400 evil, but you can't say

01:18:03.920 that the plan isn't

01:18:04.900 working because you

01:18:05.920 don't know.

01:18:06.940 And you can't say that

01:18:07.820 it won't work out for

01:18:08.820 the best for Israel's

01:18:10.660 perspective, not for

01:18:11.860 Gaza, but that you can't 0.98

01:18:13.800 say it's not the best for

01:18:14.700 Israel in the long run 0.65

01:18:15.560 because you don't know.

01:18:17.080 And it's actually

01:18:18.320 reasonable to assume,

01:18:20.120 might be wrong, but it's

01:18:22.400 reasonable to assume that

01:18:24.100 there was no way to ever

01:18:25.760 get peace with a two-state

01:18:28.040 solution.

01:18:28.580 I think that's true.

01:18:29.720 I don't think there was any

01:18:30.520 way to get peace with a two-state

01:18:31.700 solution.

01:18:32.260 But you don't know.

01:18:33.660 It's an unknown.

01:18:35.240 So now, was I making a good

01:18:38.200 point or not?

01:18:39.260 Let's start with that.

01:18:40.900 Is it a valid point that if

01:18:43.260 what he wanted to do was to

01:18:44.860 kill the two-state thing, it 1.00

01:18:46.920 looks like he did it?

01:18:49.040 Is that good?

01:18:50.300 So I thought that was

01:18:51.200 additive.

01:18:53.360 Here's a...

01:18:57.700 And I said I understand why

01:18:59.460 you don't like the plan.

01:19:00.480 Obviously, you don't like the

01:19:01.700 bloodshed and stuff like

01:19:03.020 that.

01:19:04.600 So Dave Smith responded to

01:19:06.280 me in a sarcastic way.

01:19:11.320 He said, yes, the Netanyahu's 1.00

01:19:12.980 plan for supporting Hamas 0.76

01:19:14.380 worked to end the peace

01:19:15.980 process, risk, and only had

01:19:18.160 the nasty little side effect

01:19:19.540 of 10-7, October 7th, and

01:19:22.120 the current mass slaughter

01:19:23.180 campaign in Gaza.

01:19:24.640 But genius Scott Adams sees no

01:19:27.520 evidence that an unprovable

01:19:29.060 counterfactual wouldn't be

01:19:30.580 worse.

01:19:33.220 Does that sound like word

01:19:35.400 salad?

01:19:38.920 Let me read it again and see

01:19:40.280 if you don't understand what

01:19:41.280 it says.

01:19:43.240 But genius Scott Adams sees no

01:19:45.760 evidence that an unprovable

01:19:47.520 counterfactual wouldn't be

01:19:49.420 worse.

01:19:50.360 So unprovable is a negative,

01:19:52.380 counterfactual is a negative,

01:19:53.740 and wouldn't.

01:19:55.380 So you've got three negatives,

01:19:57.020 and then worse is a negative.

01:19:58.720 So I have four negatives in that

01:20:00.080 sentence.

01:20:01.340 So let's see.

01:20:03.140 No, five negatives.

01:20:04.140 I see no evidence, negative,

01:20:06.720 that an unprovable negative,

01:20:08.380 counterfactual negative,

01:20:09.840 wouldn't negative, be worse

01:20:11.920 negative.

01:20:12.880 I don't even know what that

01:20:13.940 means.

01:20:17.620 All right.

01:20:21.640 Now here's the problem.

01:20:23.820 Did comic David Smith think that I

01:20:26.280 thought that October 7th wasn't

01:20:28.760 expensive?

01:20:30.820 Does he think I missed the news

01:20:32.140 about October 7th?

01:20:33.460 So why did he need to remind me

01:20:35.240 that October 7th happened as part

01:20:36.900 of his point?

01:20:38.440 What did that add to the

01:20:39.640 argument?

01:20:40.440 The one thing that everybody

01:20:41.500 knows.

01:20:43.060 And everybody knows is part of

01:20:44.380 the conversation.

01:20:45.800 Huh.

01:20:46.500 That seems irrational.

01:20:48.140 And then he talks about the

01:20:49.840 current mass slaughter campaign

01:20:51.280 in Gaza.

01:20:52.040 That's how he characterizes it.

01:20:54.040 Am I aware that a lot of people

01:20:55.340 are dying in Gaza, and a lot of

01:20:57.020 them are not militants?

01:20:58.120 I think everybody is.

01:21:02.580 Did he think I didn't include

01:21:04.540 that in my calculation?

01:21:09.600 What are you thinking here,

01:21:10.780 comic David Smith?

01:21:13.300 So, back to my point where I said

01:21:15.060 that progressives like plans that

01:21:17.600 look good on paper.

01:21:19.220 And here's comic David Smith.

01:21:20.760 He's no progressive.

01:21:21.780 He's a more, what's that word? 0.98

01:21:25.840 Libertarian.

01:21:28.160 But, I had to check his

01:21:31.560 background in education.

01:21:34.140 Sorry, had to do it.

01:21:36.160 Because he was acting like an 0.99

01:21:37.620 artist.

01:21:39.040 You know what artists do?

01:21:41.380 They can't handle the risks and

01:21:43.360 the rewards, both short-term and

01:21:45.180 long-term.

01:21:46.340 Never can do it.

01:21:48.300 They can talk about what they see.

01:21:50.800 They can talk about what looks good

01:21:52.200 on paper.

01:21:52.660 But, you can't talk about the

01:21:56.500 costs and the plus and minus

01:21:58.420 near-term, and also the plus and

01:22:01.320 minus long-term, and then come up

01:22:03.520 with a net.

01:22:04.240 The only people who can do that

01:22:05.700 analysis tend to have backgrounds

01:22:07.860 in analytical stuff.

01:22:10.060 So, if somebody's a lawyer, an

01:22:12.060 engineer, economist, MBA, probably

01:22:16.780 trained to make sure they don't leave

01:22:18.820 out any variables.

01:22:19.580 If you're a, if you're a, I don't 1.00

01:22:23.760 think he has a college degree, I

01:22:25.240 didn't see it mentioned, but if

01:22:28.400 you're a comedian without that

01:22:31.340 background, then you would have

01:22:34.100 opinions that look like comic Dave

01:22:35.940 Smith's.

01:22:37.060 And, when challenged with a fairly

01:22:39.100 obvious statement that you should

01:22:41.440 look at whether the plan succeeded

01:22:43.140 before you talk about its costs.

01:22:45.940 Yes, the costs everybody sees.

01:22:49.680 Gaza's being destroyed October 7th,

01:22:51.920 we all see that.

01:22:53.200 But, what about the fact that they

01:22:55.040 did it for, that Netanyahu had a

01:22:56.980 plan, allegedly, and that plan seems

01:23:00.760 to be working perfectly, allegedly,

01:23:03.700 and that, in the long run, it's

01:23:05.460 probably the only thing that was

01:23:06.500 possible, a one-state solution.

01:23:09.160 You could argue that, but at least it's

01:23:11.300 coherent to imagine that he wanted to

01:23:14.160 kill that idea.

01:23:16.640 So, I would say that this is another

01:23:18.840 example of not just progressives

01:23:22.340 liking things that sound good on

01:23:24.700 paper.

01:23:25.340 Here's something that sounds good on

01:23:26.660 paper.

01:23:27.160 You want me to solve the problem with

01:23:28.720 Gaza and Israel? 0.79

01:23:30.580 It's easy.

01:23:32.060 You do a peace plan, stop fighting

01:23:34.780 immediately, then you get together and

01:23:37.380 you make a deal to rebuild Gaza, and

01:23:40.640 then stop fighting.

01:23:41.460 Why can't we do that, people?

01:23:45.680 Why isn't that the easiest plan?

01:23:48.020 Why are we doing all these bad things

01:23:49.720 when it's so simple?

01:23:50.580 Stop shooting each other, make peace,

01:23:52.680 rebuild, live in peace.

01:23:54.660 I don't think it could be easier than

01:23:56.340 that.

01:23:58.160 But, if you're a progressive or

01:24:00.920 apparently a libertarian, you are

01:24:02.700 unable to game out the long-term

01:24:05.220 consequences of any of your decisions.

01:24:07.740 That's why there's no libertarian

01:24:11.080 country.

01:24:13.480 Because if you gamed it out, it would

01:24:15.720 all go to shit. 0.95

01:24:17.280 There isn't a single possibility that a

01:24:19.900 libertarian system could work.

01:24:22.400 I mean, not really.

01:24:24.840 So, if it works on paper, it only looks

01:24:27.980 good on paper.

01:24:28.740 It doesn't work in the long run, even on

01:24:30.340 paper.

01:24:30.620 Because it doesn't get the incentives

01:24:33.040 right.

01:24:33.920 So, comic Dave Smith is a, I think he's

01:24:37.920 a plus.

01:24:39.720 So, you know, I'll have fun mocking his

01:24:41.980 opinions for being irrational, which they

01:24:44.120 are.

01:24:45.040 But he's a plus.

01:24:46.640 I like that he's part of the

01:24:47.800 conversation.

01:24:48.500 I like having the libertarian point of

01:24:50.740 view and everything.

01:24:51.480 I like the anti-war point of view in 0.92

01:24:53.760 everything.

01:24:54.120 And so, keep on pushing, comic Dave

01:24:59.200 Smith.

01:24:59.640 I think you're a plus to the world.

01:25:01.860 I just think you should be a little

01:25:04.200 bit more humble about your analytical

01:25:06.220 abilities.

01:25:07.220 That's all.

01:25:08.640 You don't even need to change your

01:25:10.560 opinions.

01:25:11.160 Just be a little bit more humble about

01:25:12.780 your ability to analyze complicated

01:25:14.880 situations.

01:25:16.080 People without training are not as good 1.00

01:25:17.780 at it.

01:25:18.840 Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the

01:25:21.280 best live stream you're going to see

01:25:22.660 today.

01:25:22.960 I got to go off and do some other

01:25:25.020 stuff.

01:25:25.480 I'm going to try to say goodbye to the

01:25:27.200 X and Rumble and YouTube audience.

01:25:30.620 I had a little technical difficulty

01:25:31.940 yesterday, but I think I'm good now.

01:25:33.820 So, thanks for joining.

01:25:34.820 I'll see you at the same place

01:25:36.100 tomorrow.

01:25:36.460 Thank you.
