Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2382 CWSA 02⧸12⧸24

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

00:00:03.500 Ra-ba-ba-bum. 1.00

00:00:07.240 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:12.140 Let's not call it the Super Bowl.

00:00:13.820 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that only Kansas City can understand this morning,

00:00:19.040 well, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank of chalice or a stein,

00:00:23.600 a canteen joke or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:26.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:30.840 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine.

00:00:34.040 At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous ep.

00:00:38.220 And it happens now. Go.

00:00:43.080 Oh, that's so good.

00:00:47.100 So, so good.

00:00:50.300 Well, you may have heard there was a thing called the Super Bowl that happened yesterday.

00:00:53.840 Let's talk about that.

00:00:55.920 Now, of course, many people made predictions.

00:00:58.140 And this time it was a little ambiguous which prediction would work.

00:01:03.680 For example, you have the following prediction filter that the mascots will determine the win.

00:01:11.560 So this was a 49er versus a chief.

00:01:16.780 Now, one way to look at it is that a chief would have a spear.

00:01:20.740 The 49er would have a shovel.

00:01:22.840 Spear beats shovel.

00:01:23.840 So that would have predicted the win.

00:01:26.960 But it's a little ambiguous because 49ers is plural.

00:01:33.580 So if you had a lot of 49ers, but you only had one chief, probably the 49ers with the shovels could beat to death the chief.

00:01:42.020 So that one was a little less obvious, you know, mascot wise.

00:01:46.480 But there was one filter, one prediction filter that is very reliable.

00:01:54.400 And it worked.

00:01:56.640 And no, I don't mean the theory that the CIA was behind the outcome.

00:02:03.220 I don't mean that one.

00:02:04.700 Although that worked.

00:02:05.740 It did work.

00:02:06.620 I'm not going to say it didn't work.

00:02:07.960 But do you know which filter it is?

00:02:11.340 Follow the money?

00:02:12.400 No.

00:02:13.360 No.

00:02:13.900 I don't know how that works exactly.

00:02:18.020 Here is the filter.

00:02:19.260 And I'm surprised you missed it.

00:02:21.460 The best story always wins.

00:02:24.040 The best story.

00:02:26.200 That is so predictable.

00:02:28.940 I actually think there's a reason for it.

00:02:31.620 And I think that even the 49ers had some feeling in the back of their minds that the best story was that Mahomes gets two in a row and a chance for a third one, which is super rare in sports.

00:02:48.500 So first of all, Mahomes had the better story than Purdy.

00:02:52.420 Secondly, of course, you had the Taylor Swift thing.

00:02:55.840 So by far, it was the best story because you could, I would say, two weeks before the Super Bowl, I already saw Taylor kissing Kelsey at the end of the game.

00:03:09.700 Couldn't you all see that in your mind's eye?

00:03:13.040 Is there anybody who didn't imagine Kelsey and Taylor kissing at the end of the Super Bowl?

00:03:18.880 And sure enough, there was the image right on schedule.

00:03:22.500 It was so, I don't know, it just seems like the universe wanted that story to happen.

00:03:30.380 And maybe the CIA, but I'm not going to claim that.

00:03:36.220 Well, Biden trolled the, but I will point, let's just talk about the idea that it was all a fix.

00:03:44.640 Did you notice that there were at least three situations in which if Kelsey had caught a touchdown pass, it would have been the end of the game? 0.82

00:03:55.860 I think there were three chances that they were close enough because Kelsey doesn't do the long passes. 1.00

00:04:01.640 He does the shorter stuff with a little run at the end.

00:04:04.680 And when they would get within range of the goal where the next touchdown would win, I think he had three different chances.

00:04:13.500 Two of them they passed to him, and he didn't quite get there, but could have.

00:04:18.560 They were trying hard, so hard to make him the hero of the game.

00:04:22.900 It didn't look coincidental to me, but it might have been.

00:04:26.520 Could have been a coincidence.

00:04:27.900 Didn't look it.

00:04:28.480 I will remind you that Vivek Ramaswamy made this prediction over a month ago.

00:04:38.640 So this is over a month ago, Vivek said.

00:04:41.580 I wonder who's going to win the Super Bowl next month, and I wonder if there's a major presidential endorsement coming from this artificially, culturally propped up couple this fall.

00:04:50.480 Just some wild speculation over here.

00:04:52.760 Let's see how it ages over the next eight months.

00:04:56.220 What do you think?

00:04:57.060 Do you think they're artificially propped up, and maybe the fix was in so they could win?

00:05:03.120 Now, I'm not going to say the fix was in, but I heard a phrase from the announcers yesterday that I've never heard before in any kind of a game.

00:05:12.020 Did you hear this?

00:05:13.980 At one point, it was just a throwaway line while other things were happening, and Kelsey caught a pass, and you heard the announcer say,

00:05:24.920 I think I have this roughly verbatim, said, Kelsey was open for some reason. 0.98

00:05:32.180 He was wide open for some reason.

00:05:34.980 Have you ever heard anybody say that?

00:05:37.660 He was wide open for some reason?

00:05:41.100 What would that be?

00:05:42.140 And how many times was he wide open?

00:05:47.700 Nobody thought to cover the guy who was the most likely guy to catch a pass in the Super Bowl?

00:05:53.400 Nobody said, you know, we should cover him a little tightly.

00:05:56.660 I've got a feeling about this Kelsey guy.

00:05:59.480 I think he might be central to some of the outcome.

00:06:02.380 Have you ever heard anybody say he was open for some reason?

00:06:08.440 As if the announcer, who was a professional, couldn't figure out why he was open.

00:06:14.240 Oh, you've heard that?

00:06:15.960 Okay.

00:06:16.840 So maybe you watch more football than I do.

00:06:20.680 It caught my attention, but I'm seeing in the comments people say, oh, that's a thing.

00:06:25.080 People say that.

00:06:26.160 But did they say for some reason?

00:06:28.480 That was the part that caught me.

00:06:30.020 You could be open.

00:06:33.500 All right.

00:06:34.360 All right.

00:06:34.680 You say that's a common phrase?

00:06:36.040 I don't know.

00:06:38.680 However, I'm going to predict the opposite of a vague.

00:06:41.320 I'm going to say there will be no endorsement.

00:06:43.640 And the reason is as follows.

00:06:46.620 Taylor Swift would have to be super dumb to pick a candidate and lose 30% of her customers. 1.00

00:06:55.960 It would be so dumb.

00:06:57.140 And everything that Taylor Swift has done since she was, what, 17, has looked not just smart, but maybe unusually smart.

00:07:07.520 As in, she seems to be possibly even gifted in terms of business.

00:07:13.340 I mean, she just seems to have unusually good judgment about everything except men.

00:07:19.460 We'll give her that.

00:07:22.000 So do you think that somebody with judgment as good as Taylor Swift would make the huge mistake of picking a favorite candidate?

00:07:32.120 I don't think so.

00:07:34.060 Now, this is a good test of the conspiracy theory that, you know, it's all a fix.

00:07:39.220 If it's a fix, then yes.

00:07:43.420 If somebody has power over her, like blackmail or financial or something like that, what could happen?

00:07:49.960 I'm saying that if nobody has any blackmail control over her, she would never do it because she's too smart. 1.00

00:07:58.580 So that's my take.

00:08:00.120 If it happens, I'm going to assume that somebody has control.

00:08:03.640 Well, so Biden did a little social media after the result of the Super Bowl in which he showed him with his glowing red eyes for dark, dark Biden.

00:08:22.800 And he said something like, all according to plan.

00:08:29.900 Now, I think they were mocking the conservatives who were saying that, you know, it's all some kind of a CIA trick.

00:08:39.160 But do you think that Biden was even aware that he sent out a post on X?

00:08:45.960 Probably not.

00:08:46.960 Looked like some intern.

00:08:48.740 Yeah, had no idea.

00:08:50.440 And we just assume that that's normal now.

00:08:53.800 It's just normal that the president doesn't even know who's posting on his behalf or what it says.

00:08:59.280 All right.

00:09:00.160 I don't know if he didn't know, but I can imagine he wouldn't.

00:09:03.940 Meanwhile, Biden, instead of doing an interview in which he might embarrass himself by being so near death,

00:09:11.860 he decided to do a little recorded piece in which he was going to complain about companies selling you less candy.

00:09:20.300 That actually happened.

00:09:23.860 Do you think that was somebody else's idea or do you think that was Biden's idea?

00:09:29.220 Because that feels like Biden's idea to me because it's so bad.

00:09:34.320 He's trying to tell the American public that that inflation they're experiencing is partly because the candy makers are putting less candy in the wrapper.

00:09:44.460 That is the most pathetic, disgusting, weak thing I've ever seen from a president.

00:09:54.520 And I'm totally here for it.

00:09:56.260 Yeah, totally here for it.

00:10:02.520 Anyway.

00:10:04.860 Shrinkflation, he calls it.

00:10:06.620 I think that's just the dumbest, weakest thing I've seen a president do ever.

00:10:10.380 I've never seen anything that pathetic that was planned.

00:10:15.640 There's lots of things that are unplanned, you know, like falling down the stairs.

00:10:19.200 But, you know, those are accidents.

00:10:21.400 This was actually meticulously planned and executed.

00:10:25.320 Your candy is too small.

00:10:27.980 Do you know what would be better?

00:10:29.320 Don't eat what's in that wrapper.

00:10:31.840 How about don't eat anything that you have to take a plastic wrapper off of?

00:10:35.480 You know, I guess there could be some exceptions.

00:10:40.800 Anyway, in more important news, some scientists have discovered that in mice, the more often the mice have an erection, the stronger their erections are.

00:10:54.860 Because every time you get an erection, it's sort of like a muscle.

00:10:59.040 You know, if you exercise a muscle, it gets stronger.

00:11:02.120 So some researchers went to work every single day and gave mice erections to study what the effect would be.

00:11:11.240 Now, they think there might be some, you know, something they learned about humans.

00:11:15.320 But I don't know about that.

00:11:17.200 I feel like maybe these just were scientists who like to masturbate mice every day and get paid for it.

00:11:26.460 What did you do today, Bob?

00:11:28.440 Well, I'm working on my mouse erection study.

00:11:33.100 And then the obvious question is, do the mice have erections all the time so that it happens on your schedule and it's just right there when you need it?

00:11:44.520 No, no.

00:11:46.180 So how do you line up the time you're working with the time that the mice have the erections?

00:11:53.540 How do you know to get that timing right?

00:11:55.600 Well, we, you know, we stimulate them.

00:12:01.480 I have no further questions.

00:12:03.800 No further questions.

00:12:05.400 My best guess is they show them pictures of Minnie Mouse but without the clothes.

00:12:10.480 Have you ever seen Minnie Mouse without any clothes?

00:12:12.880 Take that little bow out of her hair. 1.00

00:12:15.480 Kind of hot.

00:12:16.440 I can see it.

00:12:17.520 I can see it.

00:12:18.720 If I were a mouse, I'd be turgid as hell.

00:12:21.500 All right, so Jillian Michaels' exercise personality was on Bill Maher's Club Random. 0.98

00:12:31.140 And it turns out she's more of an economist than I'd ever imagined.

00:12:37.200 You know, I see her doing the exercise thing and I think, wow, she knows a lot about fitness. 0.54

00:12:41.720 I didn't know that she also knows a lot about economics.

00:12:46.660 So Jillian Michaels, the best economic opinion I've ever heard, came in this conversation with Bill Maher.

00:12:53.700 Bill Maher said, we won the pandemic economically.

00:12:57.260 And Michael said, we did?

00:12:59.480 I feel like inflation is insane.

00:13:01.760 And Maher says, inflation is not insane.

00:13:03.920 And Michael says, Bill, go buy a car.

00:13:08.380 A house is tripled here.

00:13:10.100 Buy some fucking eggs.

00:13:12.360 And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the best economic opinion I've heard in at least a year.

00:13:19.880 Blah, blah, blah, inflation.

00:13:22.280 Blah, blah, blah, the money supply.

00:13:25.400 Blah, blah, blah, the debt.

00:13:27.740 Blah, blah, blah, economics.

00:13:29.420 Blah, blah, blah, shrinkflation.

00:13:30.880 And how about screw all of that and buy some fucking eggs, Bill.

00:13:36.320 I'm going to add Bill to it to be funnier.

00:13:38.680 I'm just going to say that in every economic conversation from now on.

00:13:45.040 And no matter who I'm talking to, I'll just call them Bill.

00:13:47.640 So I'll be like, blah, blah, blah, good economy.

00:13:49.680 And I'll say, go buy some fucking eggs, Bill.

00:13:52.740 And they'll just walk away.

00:13:55.560 Brilliant.

00:13:55.960 Well, do you all remember how terrible 2020 was?

00:14:02.600 You know, the beginning of the pandemic and just everything went to hell in 2020?

00:14:07.840 Yeah.

00:14:08.700 So 2020 was a weird year.

00:14:11.640 It was a leap year.

00:14:14.000 Oh, oh, this is a leap year, too.

00:14:16.960 OK, well, we have that one thing in common with 2020.

00:14:19.420 It was a leap year.

00:14:20.140 And in 2020, what else was happening?

00:14:23.620 Oh, oh, Trump was running against Biden.

00:14:26.860 Oh, Trump was running against Biden.

00:14:28.860 That's happening, too.

00:14:30.480 But those are two coincidences.

00:14:33.700 Let's see, who was in the Super Bowl in 2020?

00:14:37.740 2020, it was the Chiefs against the 49ers and the Chiefs won.

00:14:43.520 Huh.

00:14:44.340 Well, that just happened.

00:14:45.380 But back in 2020, there was a global shutdown because of the pandemic.

00:14:52.840 So there's nothing like that happening, at least in 2024.

00:14:57.380 Except that a man did just die of Alaska pox.

00:15:02.220 Alaska pox.

00:15:04.840 I don't like the sound of that.

00:15:07.220 I just stole all this from Tara Bull on the X platform.

00:15:10.620 She made these observations that 2020 and 2024 are looking suspiciously similar.

00:15:18.600 Now, can we use the Super Bowl prediction method?

00:15:23.940 Let me ask you, which is the better story?

00:15:27.780 In 2020, what was the better story?

00:15:30.820 Trump winning or Trump losing?

00:15:33.420 What was the better story?

00:15:36.300 Trump winning.

00:15:37.700 And he won.

00:15:38.140 So, in 2022, I'm sorry.

00:15:45.020 Yeah.

00:15:46.520 I've got all my years backed up.

00:15:48.340 In 2016, Trump winning was the better story.

00:15:52.440 2016.

00:15:53.080 Sorry, I got the dates wrong.

00:15:54.480 Have I ever mentioned, I don't know if I've ever mentioned this, I have a calendar issue.

00:15:59.760 Has anybody heard me say that before?

00:16:02.640 Like, even today, I published the wrong comic again.

00:16:06.740 Like I always do.

00:16:09.340 I'll tell you, today's a tough day for dyslexics.

00:16:12.520 So, the date today is, concentrate, 2 slash 1-2 slash 2-4.

00:16:21.980 Do you know how hard that is for a dyslexic?

00:16:25.840 That takes some concentration to write that date down.

00:16:28.460 That's a tough one.

00:16:31.040 My dyslexics, can you confirm?

00:16:34.180 That's a tough one.

00:16:35.540 Yeah.

00:16:36.440 Anyway, back to my point.

00:16:38.420 2016, the better story was Trump winning.

00:16:40.960 But in 2020, was the better story that Trump wins re-election?

00:16:48.060 Because that's not much of a story, is it?

00:16:49.920 That would be sort of normal.

00:16:51.820 Somebody wins re-election.

00:16:53.040 But you know what would be a better story, a really good story, is if Biden won that election

00:17:00.700 in a way that many people thought was suspicious in terms of the regularity of the election.

00:17:07.080 And then in 2024, he comes back.

00:17:14.200 You tell me that's not the better story.

00:17:16.960 The better story by far is that Trump comes back and wins in 2024.

00:17:22.560 By far.

00:17:24.100 Do you think there's any chance that's not the best story?

00:17:26.920 Now, I'm not saying it's best for the country.

00:17:29.620 That's separate.

00:17:30.440 But as a story, you can't beat it.

00:17:36.000 And if you add to that that there might be some extras, such as beating all the lawfare,

00:17:42.080 that's a good story.

00:17:44.060 And what if the last election is shown to be, let's say, less credible than we thought it was?

00:17:54.940 What if that happened?

00:17:59.620 Right.

00:18:00.960 Yeah, buy ammo.

00:18:02.060 All right.

00:18:04.280 Rasmussen did a poll to find out who's the most respected leader of our various recent presidents.

00:18:09.440 And 42% of likely voters said they respect Trump the most.

00:18:16.780 While, can you guess roughly what percentage said they had the most respect for Joe Biden,

00:18:23.500 President Joe Biden?

00:18:24.760 You want to take a guess?

00:18:25.820 Anybody?

00:18:27.580 Oh, very good.

00:18:28.580 Yeah, you're very close.

00:18:29.240 21%.

00:18:29.980 21%.

00:18:30.580 That's right.

00:18:32.480 You could not even get up all the way to the 25% level for Joe Biden.

00:18:38.520 Only 21% say he's the most respected.

00:18:42.360 Now, most of that difference is because Trump has a lot of respect among Republicans, but Democrats are kind of looking at Biden and saying,

00:18:52.660 Oh, we might like him better, we might like him better, but not a super bunch of respect.

00:19:00.400 Ah, I wonder what would cause you to have less respect for Biden.

00:19:05.100 Well, a related story.

00:19:06.100 Well, a related story is that Biden has gone on TikTok with Harris.

00:19:11.660 That's right.

00:19:12.580 The politician who is sometimes accused of being influenced by China because of hunters taking money from a big Chinese company.

00:19:24.320 They've just joined the TikTok platform, also known as the Chinese brainwashing platform. 0.99

00:19:33.060 And it's also true at the same time that Biden has banned TikTok from government devices.

00:19:43.460 So he's smart enough to ban it and also dumb enough to use it.

00:19:48.800 Now, of course, he's using it because he thinks it'll give him an election advantage with younger people, especially.

00:19:55.480 And it might might actually be useful.

00:19:58.420 But how much do you respect a president who bans something because it's so obviously bad and then becomes its most important user?

00:20:08.980 How could you respect that?

00:20:11.820 I have zero respect for that.

00:20:13.560 I can't respect that at all.

00:20:14.960 Well, Vivek is on it, too, but at least Vivek never banned it.

00:20:23.200 It's different if you've literally banned it for a government and then you go use it.

00:20:28.480 Right.

00:20:29.200 If Vivek banned it and then used it, I'd have the same questions.

00:20:34.040 All right.

00:20:35.620 Meanwhile, I'm going to say this again because it's it's just so smart.

00:20:40.900 Trump called for an end to all foreign aid unless it's a loan.

00:20:46.660 It could be zero interest and maybe you don't have to pay it back right away, but you do owe us.

00:20:52.200 And I like that because even in a situation where you're not actively making loans to people, you can still say you owe us.

00:21:00.080 You know, you owe us one later.

00:21:02.240 It's just the most obvious.

00:21:03.560 Smart play.

00:21:07.280 So that makes sense to me.

00:21:09.980 CBS has some fake news about climate, says basically the air quality is terrible for a lot of people in the United States, especially.

00:21:20.760 And it's because of climate change.

00:21:23.260 The air quality is bad because of climate change.

00:21:25.900 And the first example they give is those forest fires in Canada.

00:21:32.500 Was it last year or two years ago?

00:21:34.500 The forest fires in Canada.

00:21:37.760 Now, can you give me a news update fact check?

00:21:42.100 Don't we know that those were all set by an arsonist who's already admitted it and is in the legal system in Canada?

00:21:47.940 I thought that was completely confirmed news.

00:21:52.600 And it's the number one example they give of how climate change, climate change, is making the air dirty.

00:21:59.520 Now, it's not about these people lighting fires.

00:22:02.640 It's about climate change.

00:22:04.540 And CBS says that with no sense of embarrassment.

00:22:09.820 Wow.

00:22:10.460 Mark Levin is talking about the her report, you know, the report that said that Biden was not going to be prosecuted, but that he had, you know, some kind of memory problems, let's say.

00:22:26.600 But here's how Mark Levin characterizes that in the post.

00:22:29.300 He says, the indisputable evidence in the special counsel's report shows that Biden has been violating the Espionage Act for half a century, for which Garland, the attorney general, will not prosecute him.

00:22:42.980 Is that a fair statement?

00:22:45.040 That the report proved he's been violating that law for half a century and he will not be prosecuted for it.

00:22:52.460 That is accurate.

00:22:53.360 At the same time, at the same time, like literally the same time, I'm reading this from Levin, and then the next thing I read is that Trump is appearing for the hearings on his documents.

00:23:14.080 The same thing, except, you know, something he did once.

00:23:17.900 There were a lot of them, but something he did once.

00:23:20.060 So, yes, I am aware that the Democrats are saying the real issue is the resistance to giving them back.

00:23:31.620 And here's what I say to that.

00:23:33.200 That's a good point.

00:23:34.720 It's a good point, that the bigger issue is resistance and giving them back.

00:23:39.840 But here's my better point to your better point.

00:23:43.000 Define resistance.

00:23:46.040 Define resistance.

00:23:47.640 If the lawyers were no longer taking phone calls, well, that's resistance, right?

00:23:56.140 If the government said we're going to come in and break the lock and take them from you, and if they physically restrained them from doing it, well, that would be resistance.

00:24:05.400 No doubt about it.

00:24:06.400 But what if the government's demanding them, and the lawyers are saying stuff like, well, we think we gave you all of it, but maybe they're wrong.

00:24:16.240 And we're still talking to you, and we think we should keep these.

00:24:20.200 And does that sound like you're obstructing justice?

00:24:24.900 Or does that sound like every defendant in every situation who's aggressive?

00:24:29.760 They're just doing everything they can to fight what they don't like.

00:24:35.040 I don't know.

00:24:35.780 I guess the courts are going to figure that out.

00:24:37.500 But to me, as a citizen, it looks like the laws are not being equally applied.

00:24:47.820 It's not exactly the same situation.

00:24:49.900 I get that.

00:24:50.540 But the feeling of it is that the laws are not being equally applied.

00:25:00.200 So here's my take.

00:25:03.480 After watching Joe Biden not being able to do an interview in the Super Bowl, because he's too degraded,

00:25:10.460 and I think we all agree that's the only reason he wouldn't do it,

00:25:13.480 and then instead he does his little dumb commercial about the size of candy,

00:25:17.820 and how the candy got smaller.

00:25:20.540 That's a level of patheticness that I would normally say,

00:25:25.840 you need to stop this right away.

00:25:29.500 Right?

00:25:30.040 I would say, okay, this is sad.

00:25:32.420 Politics aside, I'm not being political now.

00:25:35.780 This is a human individual that you're torturing,

00:25:39.140 and you're just destroying his legacy by making him continue,

00:25:43.500 whereas leaving gracefully might actually put him in a good position for history.

00:25:49.060 But he's not in a good position for history now.

00:25:52.960 However, the more I thought about it,

00:25:56.800 the more I thought that Joe Biden is not your normal president.

00:26:00.120 For one thing, he got elected on the fine people hoax, which literally hurts me.

00:26:08.500 It hurts me.

00:26:09.920 It hurts anybody who's white and anybody who's ever supported Trump.

00:26:13.000 Because it's the biggest hoax in the country that wasn't the Russia collusion hoax,

00:26:17.840 and it wasn't the January 6th insurrection hoax.

00:26:20.460 But between the fine people hoax and the January 6th insurrection hoax,

00:26:24.460 and the other things he said about MAGA,

00:26:27.140 and the locking up of Americans over just protests,

00:26:31.520 he is the most evil fucking person I've ever seen in politics in the United States.

00:26:36.380 I think McCarthy was bad, you know, McCarthyism,

00:26:40.540 but I think he took it to another level.

00:26:43.200 I don't think Nixon had anything.

00:26:45.620 I mean, Nixon was just maybe did some bad things, but it didn't hurt me personally.

00:26:50.340 But Biden has gone after the people.

00:26:53.380 He's gone after the public.

00:26:55.900 The fine people hoax is an attack on me.

00:26:59.140 It's an attack on 81 million people who supported Trump.

00:27:02.640 And the January 6th insurrection hoax is an attack on Americans.

00:27:08.300 There's no other way to say it.

00:27:10.580 He's locking up Americans to support a hoax for purely political reasons.

00:27:15.420 And now he's trying to put Trump in jail for, you know,

00:27:18.160 using lawfare to put Trump in jail.

00:27:20.780 And he's certainly the proximate cause of the Ukraine war.

00:27:25.700 How many hundreds of thousands of people died unnecessarily

00:27:28.800 because Trump wasn't president?

00:27:30.300 He's a president, we assume, a lot.

00:27:33.580 He is the most evil president, I think, in history.

00:27:39.600 I don't think anybody's even close.

00:27:41.960 And I don't think that words like incompetent and dementia,

00:27:47.920 that doesn't cover it,

00:27:49.220 because he did a lot of this stuff when he was still capable enough

00:27:52.400 that nobody was going to 25th Amendment him, right?

00:27:55.620 And I've actually completely changed my opinion

00:27:59.120 about watching him die in front of me.

00:28:03.120 Because when I watch him on TV, I'm watching a man die.

00:28:07.660 You see it, right?

00:28:09.040 You're seeing somebody on his last legs,

00:28:11.400 and he shouldn't even be standing most of the time.

00:28:15.780 And I used to think, this is really bad,

00:28:18.160 this is not good for the country.

00:28:19.520 But when I see the most evil politician I've ever seen

00:28:23.720 who isn't named Adam Schiff

00:28:25.120 literally suffering and dying in front of me,

00:28:29.100 I'm actually enjoying it.

00:28:31.220 And I'm just admitting that.

00:28:33.180 If I could watch Hitler being tortured to death,

00:28:36.720 I'd probably do it.

00:28:38.260 I don't think I'd turn it off.

00:28:40.340 I'd probably watch it.

00:28:41.220 But if you were going to see bin Laden shot in the face,

00:28:47.100 if there'd been a body cam of the actual killing of him,

00:28:51.040 I'd watch it.

00:28:52.940 I mean, I don't think there's anything cool

00:28:54.800 about somebody getting shot in the face.

00:28:57.420 But bin Laden, I would actually watch with pleasure 1.00

00:29:00.260 as his skull was blown off from the back.

00:29:05.280 And then if there would be a picture of him

00:29:06.660 with a big hole in his head laying there on the floor,

00:29:08.860 I'd be, ooh, let's replay that.

00:29:12.100 Yeah, I'd put that on a loop.

00:29:14.000 Because killing a monster is not like killing a person.

00:29:19.180 Right?

00:29:19.660 You just feel completely different about it.

00:29:21.760 And while I don't want anything violent, of course,

00:29:24.580 to happen to any president, including Biden,

00:29:27.480 watching his allies torture him to death in front of me

00:29:32.700 by putting him on TV, I'm actually starting to enjoy it,

00:29:36.840 and I don't want to see him replaced.

00:29:38.860 I want to see them torture him every fucking day

00:29:42.420 for the rest of his life.

00:29:44.080 And I want him to look pathetic.

00:29:46.560 I want him to embarrass his entire team

00:29:49.340 that's doing this to him.

00:29:50.420 And I want them to run him into the ground

00:29:53.980 the way he's done to me.

00:29:58.700 So fuck him.

00:30:00.160 Yes, I want to see him die in public.

00:30:03.200 Not by any actions of anybody.

00:30:06.660 You know, nothing violent, of course.

00:30:08.880 But I want to watch the Democrats drag his lifeless body onto the stage

00:30:14.840 and watch him breathe his last words because he's fucking evil 0.93

00:30:18.760 and watching him die is enjoyable.

00:30:21.580 To treat him like a regular politician when he's played the fine people hoax

00:30:36.440 and the January 6th hoax and, of course, was complicit in the Russia collusion hoax,

00:30:41.420 he is no friend to the Republic.

00:30:42.960 He's a fucking criminal and a evil bastard of which we have never seen anything like it.

00:30:50.200 There is nothing comparable to this in any experience in America.

00:30:55.700 So 86% of people polled in recent polls say Biden is too old.

00:31:04.520 Jonathan Turley puts that in context.

00:31:06.800 He says that to compare that, only 82% of the public agrees that the earth is round.

00:31:15.340 So there are more people who can understand that Biden is too old

00:31:19.240 than there are Americans who believe the earth is round.

00:31:25.700 But to be perfectly accurate, the world is not round.

00:31:31.500 It is not.

00:31:32.000 It's not flat, as far as I can tell.

00:31:34.200 It's a little bit ovoid.

00:31:35.600 Yeah, it's a little bit ovoid.

00:31:37.920 That's the way we roll on this podcast.

00:31:42.480 A little bit ovoid.

00:31:48.960 The fine people, Oaks, as he has published another piece in American Greatness,

00:31:57.860 talking about how he debunks it thoroughly as he has been doing for years.

00:32:08.800 He mentions me and Joel Pollack.

00:32:10.300 Okay.

00:32:18.960 Make an offer to Vivek if he doesn't go further in politics.

00:32:42.960 They're not going to make an offer to him to be on CNN because he'd be too good.

00:32:49.400 All right.

00:32:50.500 When you calm down about the 34-minute glitch, maybe we can carry on.

00:32:56.200 I know that's very exciting to all of you.

00:32:58.720 We still don't know why at 34 minutes my podcast glitches, at least on the locals,

00:33:04.380 sometimes on the other platforms as well.

00:33:09.600 Looks like it glitched everywhere.

00:33:11.040 Or, yeah.

00:33:14.460 Anyway.

00:33:16.340 So back to what I was talking about.

00:33:19.720 Here's a story from Steve Cortez.

00:33:21.480 So he was...

00:33:22.300 So I said that CNN usually hires weak Republicans to defend Republicans.

00:33:28.780 So it looks like the bad point of view.

00:33:30.800 But when they got Steve Cortez, they made a strategic mistake

00:33:35.420 because he was by far too strong.

00:33:38.160 And he would debunk their hoaxes right in front of them.

00:33:42.180 Now, what do you think happens when you hire somebody for CNN

00:33:45.680 and he goes on the air and starts debunking your own news?

00:33:51.380 He didn't just give them opinions.

00:33:53.960 He debunks CNN right in front of them.

00:33:55.840 Well, they fired him.

00:33:59.100 But they didn't fire him, fire him, as in stop paying him.

00:34:02.480 It was better than that.

00:34:04.100 They paid him and didn't put him on the air

00:34:06.480 because his contract kept him off of other media.

00:34:10.640 That's right.

00:34:11.360 They paid to keep him off the air

00:34:14.060 because he was debunking the fine people hoax

00:34:16.900 and doing such a good job of it.

00:34:18.840 He did a PragerU video.

00:34:21.440 And, you know, video is going to be a little more viral than text.

00:34:25.200 And it just completely demolished the hoax.

00:34:28.680 So he got not fired,

00:34:31.540 but basically hidden for pay by CNN.

00:34:35.560 And then, listen to this.

00:34:41.100 So there's a media reporter called Oliver Darcy on CNN.

00:34:46.720 Now, I've often pointed him out.

00:34:48.280 He's like one of the three horsemen at CNN

00:34:51.340 who will say the most ridiculous things.

00:34:54.740 So the most ridiculous things you'll hear,

00:34:58.080 Steve Darcy will be one of the three people who said it usually.

00:35:02.060 So here's what he said.

00:35:05.560 So he, quote, this is according to Steve,

00:35:09.540 that Oliver Darcy had castigated his work on the old Twitter,

00:35:13.340 posting, quote,

00:35:15.040 calling this a malicious lie, which it is not.

00:35:18.200 So in other words, Darcy is saying

00:35:20.100 that the fine people hoax is a real thing.

00:35:22.540 Calling it a malicious lie, which it is not,

00:35:25.060 and journalistic malfeasance, which it's also not,

00:35:28.720 is a weird thing for someone who is a paid CNN commentator to say,

00:35:32.520 given the network's accurate reporting on the matter.

00:35:36.500 You remember CNN's accurate reporting on the matter?

00:35:42.500 Yeah.

00:35:43.800 I don't.

00:35:45.200 They still don't report it accurately.

00:35:47.040 And it is the most debunked hoax of all time

00:35:50.100 because it's right there in the transcript.

00:35:51.900 There's nothing to, there's really nothing to argue

00:35:53.940 once you read the transcript.

00:35:57.760 So just think about the fact

00:35:59.700 that Oliver Darcy, in public,

00:36:04.020 believes that, he either believes the hoax

00:36:06.000 or he's pushing the hoax.

00:36:07.160 There's no way to know what he's thinking internally.

00:36:09.420 Do you think he believes it?

00:36:10.440 Do you think that Darcy is fooled by CNN's own reporting?

00:36:16.200 Or do you think he's lying and he knows he's lying?

00:36:21.000 I don't know.

00:36:22.300 I can't tell.

00:36:25.720 So I'm looking at the comments.

00:36:27.760 A lot of you think he knows he's lying and he's doing it.

00:36:30.740 I don't know.

00:36:31.760 The way he's saying it suggests he might believe it.

00:36:36.320 Like he actually believes his own network's reporting.

00:36:41.340 Which would be weird.

00:36:42.920 I don't know how you can work there

00:36:43.920 and believe the reporting.

00:36:45.680 I mean, you see it right up front.

00:36:48.080 If you're in the front row,

00:36:50.100 how can you believe it's true?

00:36:52.740 I don't know.

00:36:54.280 So Hillary is pushing the new hoax. 1.00

00:36:56.400 I'm going to call it the NATO funding hoax.

00:37:01.680 No, let's call it the NATO hoax.

00:37:03.880 But you could also call it the summer hoax.

00:37:07.300 So if you're going to hashtag it,

00:37:09.120 summer hoax or NATO hoax.

00:37:11.100 And here's what Hillary Clinton says. 1.00

00:37:15.160 In a post on X today, or yesterday,

00:37:17.780 she said,

00:37:18.600 Trump sells out our NATO allies to Putin.

00:37:21.680 Now what she's talking about is a story

00:37:23.700 where Trump said that if a NATO country

00:37:27.380 didn't pay their dues,

00:37:29.540 that he told them they wouldn't protect them

00:37:31.320 if Russia attacked them.

00:37:32.500 Now everybody with even the slightest bit of common sense

00:37:36.800 knows that first of all,

00:37:39.140 you would make the decision individually.

00:37:41.220 You're not going to say in advance

00:37:42.400 you wouldn't protect them.

00:37:44.480 You would never announce it, obviously.

00:37:47.580 So that's not serious.

00:37:50.100 But it is a serious way to negotiate.

00:37:52.480 If you don't pay your bill,

00:37:54.120 you're not going to get the service.

00:37:55.560 And the service is protecting you.

00:37:58.980 Now, so of course,

00:38:00.940 he would protect American interests.

00:38:04.000 And American interests probably would be served by,

00:38:07.460 you know,

00:38:08.580 playing along with NATO

00:38:10.280 if a NATO country got attacked.

00:38:11.880 But he's being smart

00:38:15.020 by saying,

00:38:16.860 no, you don't get a free lunch

00:38:18.020 if we're going to protect you

00:38:19.700 and you don't have to pay.

00:38:21.400 Why would you pay?

00:38:22.880 Why would they pay?

00:38:23.840 It wouldn't make any sense.

00:38:24.940 They could get it for free.

00:38:29.340 So,

00:38:29.980 so Hillary's trying to twist this 1.00

00:38:33.020 as her,

00:38:34.180 you know,

00:38:35.200 trained monkeys

00:38:35.900 and the press are trying to twist it

00:38:38.100 into

00:38:38.540 Trump's trying to kill NATO.

00:38:42.360 That's right.

00:38:43.560 Trump,

00:38:44.460 the person who got the most funding

00:38:46.600 of all time for NATO,

00:38:48.980 she's trying to sell you the hoax

00:38:50.460 that he wants to kill it.

00:38:52.880 Nobody's done more for NATO than Trump.

00:38:56.780 I think he has asked,

00:38:58.220 you know,

00:38:58.540 about if that makes sense in the future,

00:39:00.700 which is a perfectly good question.

00:39:03.360 All right.

00:39:03.640 So she says

00:39:04.700 that Trump sells out our NATO allies to Putin.

00:39:08.000 And then she said,

00:39:09.280 and here's the chilling part,

00:39:11.060 quote,

00:39:11.380 this should be front page news

00:39:13.700 of every paper in the country.

00:39:15.860 These are the stakes of 2024.

00:39:19.540 Correct me if I'm wrong,

00:39:21.980 but she's literally telling

00:39:23.540 her,

00:39:24.780 her winged monkey press 0.73

00:39:26.880 how to report this story.

00:39:28.600 She's telling them that the hoax

00:39:30.580 should be their main story.

00:39:32.060 The person who,

00:39:36.100 as far as we know,

00:39:37.120 organized the fine people hoax

00:39:40.260 and made sure it was on the front page

00:39:42.500 of everything,

00:39:43.440 the woman who is certainly behind,

00:39:46.040 at least pushing it,

00:39:47.620 the fine people hoax,

00:39:49.580 she's telling you a third time

00:39:51.600 that the third hoax

00:39:53.360 should be the headline.

00:39:54.920 And then the AP reports.

00:40:00.760 Basically,

00:40:01.440 the AP reported the same thing.

00:40:04.020 So it looks to me like Hillary

00:40:05.900 just sounded the alarm,

00:40:07.560 not alarm,

00:40:08.360 but, you know,

00:40:08.780 sounded the bad signal.

00:40:11.460 This is the hoax

00:40:12.500 we're going to focus on

00:40:13.440 for the summer.

00:40:14.000 Now,

00:40:18.360 how many of you,

00:40:21.380 like me,

00:40:22.400 I said it in public,

00:40:23.600 I said it a whole bunch of times,

00:40:24.980 there's going to be

00:40:25.800 a big summer hoax.

00:40:28.040 Now,

00:40:28.560 there might be another one,

00:40:30.040 but they like to have

00:40:31.360 one really solid one

00:40:32.640 to last all summer

00:40:33.660 because the summer

00:40:34.720 is a slow news time.

00:40:36.420 So you have to replace

00:40:37.700 the slow news

00:40:38.740 that nobody cares about

00:40:39.800 with an exciting hoax

00:40:41.740 because it gives the news

00:40:42.660 something to talk about.

00:40:43.500 Yeah,

00:40:44.140 like a George Floyd,

00:40:45.460 et cetera,

00:40:46.120 right?

00:40:46.440 There's always a summer hoax.

00:40:48.220 So this one might have,

00:40:49.600 this might have happened

00:40:50.740 too soon.

00:40:51.400 I don't know if they can

00:40:52.040 push it all summer.

00:40:53.040 There might be another one coming.

00:40:54.820 But once you see

00:40:55.940 the hoax framework

00:40:58.560 and how the Democrats

00:41:00.220 use the hoax

00:41:01.280 as primarily

00:41:03.040 their campaign strategy,

00:41:05.480 their campaign strategy

00:41:06.680 is literally hoaxes.

00:41:08.920 Now,

00:41:09.340 compare that to

00:41:10.420 Trump.

00:41:13.500 Trump says

00:41:14.280 the border

00:41:14.780 needs to be protected better.

00:41:18.060 Is that a hoax?

00:41:22.640 Trump says

00:41:23.480 he could have

00:41:24.080 ended the war

00:41:25.520 in Ukraine

00:41:26.020 in a day

00:41:26.600 or he could.

00:41:27.640 Is that a hoax?

00:41:30.300 Because it looks

00:41:31.040 real to me.

00:41:33.540 Right?

00:41:33.660 There's a big difference

00:41:36.400 between the party

00:41:37.460 that's just making promises

00:41:38.800 and maybe they can do it,

00:41:40.560 maybe they can't.

00:41:41.840 You know,

00:41:42.040 there's some promises

00:41:43.040 they'll make like fentanyl

00:41:44.320 that maybe nothing happens.

00:41:46.380 But they certainly

00:41:47.360 aren't hoaxes.

00:41:48.880 There's certainly things

00:41:49.720 that you see

00:41:50.160 Trump attempting to fix

00:41:51.680 at the very least.

00:41:53.140 All right,

00:41:55.960 so meanwhile,

00:41:56.840 the court has ordered

00:41:57.700 Elon Musk

00:41:58.360 to testify

00:41:59.020 in an SEC inquiry

00:42:00.860 over the acquisition

00:42:02.540 of Twitter.

00:42:05.020 So,

00:42:05.780 this is exactly

00:42:07.200 what it looks like.

00:42:07.980 It's lawfare

00:42:08.780 against somebody

00:42:10.040 who's protecting

00:42:10.740 free speech,

00:42:11.580 the last bastion

00:42:12.460 of free speech,

00:42:13.640 and so the government

00:42:14.880 is trying to take him out.

00:42:16.920 It's exactly

00:42:17.640 what it looks like.

00:42:18.900 Yeah,

00:42:19.120 the Biden administration

00:42:20.180 is trying to take out

00:42:21.180 an American citizen

00:42:22.240 for the crime

00:42:24.220 of free speech

00:42:25.900 and making everybody

00:42:27.200 have it.

00:42:28.780 That's actually happening.

00:42:31.060 Do you know

00:42:31.400 it should be

00:42:31.780 the front page

00:42:32.560 of every newspaper?

00:42:34.940 That Biden is trying

00:42:36.360 to end free speech

00:42:37.700 as we know it,

00:42:39.140 and here's one example,

00:42:40.700 the Elon Musk thing.

00:42:42.100 Here's another example,

00:42:43.360 January 6.

00:42:44.620 Here's another example,

00:42:45.960 everybody who got kicked off

00:42:47.280 the news

00:42:49.540 for saying things

00:42:50.240 that were true.

00:42:51.700 The story is

00:42:52.960 the complete end

00:42:54.140 of free speech.

00:42:55.800 In my opinion,

00:42:57.120 free speech

00:42:57.700 is literally gone

00:42:59.100 everywhere except on X,

00:43:01.380 and even then

00:43:01.960 you're going to get fired.

00:43:03.760 If you have a boss,

00:43:04.920 you're still going to get fired

00:43:05.840 if you say something

00:43:06.600 they don't like.

00:43:09.220 So,

00:43:09.820 I asked the question

00:43:10.760 provocatively

00:43:11.460 a few days ago,

00:43:13.260 at what point

00:43:14.320 do we say

00:43:15.380 we should not teach children

00:43:17.060 that America

00:43:18.580 has free speech?

00:43:19.500 because I think

00:43:21.000 it's now.

00:43:22.360 I feel like

00:43:23.100 you'd just be lying

00:43:24.020 to children

00:43:24.540 if you say,

00:43:25.160 you know,

00:43:25.360 in America

00:43:25.740 we've got free speech

00:43:26.780 and it's one

00:43:27.200 of our advantages.

00:43:28.320 That's actually

00:43:29.460 not true.

00:43:31.080 We do not have

00:43:32.160 free speech

00:43:32.760 in a way

00:43:33.300 we've understood it

00:43:34.920 for,

00:43:35.520 you know,

00:43:36.460 decades and centuries.

00:43:39.540 What we have now

00:43:40.720 is absolutely

00:43:41.660 not free speech.

00:43:43.280 I don't know

00:43:43.740 what it is,

00:43:44.140 but it's not free speech.

00:43:46.660 All right.

00:43:47.860 So,

00:43:48.380 it's about time

00:43:48.880 we teach the kids that.

00:43:53.100 While the Super Bowl

00:43:54.180 was going on,

00:43:55.600 Israel moved into Rafa, 0.89

00:43:57.200 which is in the

00:43:58.020 southern part of Gaza.

00:43:59.520 So,

00:44:00.060 I guess,

00:44:01.020 nobody said this directly,

00:44:02.420 but I'm

00:44:02.840 reading between the lines.

00:44:05.420 Does this mean

00:44:06.080 that the north

00:44:06.760 is already done?

00:44:08.240 I mean,

00:44:08.660 done in terms of,

00:44:10.640 you know,

00:44:10.980 obviously there's

00:44:11.860 infinite cleanup

00:44:13.180 and sweep up

00:44:14.140 and still people

00:44:15.140 in tunnels,

00:44:15.880 but have they largely

00:44:17.080 conquered the north

00:44:19.100 of Gaza,

00:44:20.040 the IDF?

00:44:21.860 Because I'm hearing

00:44:22.680 they're going

00:44:23.100 into the south

00:44:24.020 and they're even

00:44:27.300 saying that the people

00:44:28.180 in the south,

00:44:29.480 their only option,

00:44:30.560 I think,

00:44:30.900 is to move to the north

00:44:31.900 where it's already destroyed.

00:44:35.040 That's their only option,

00:44:36.280 right?

00:44:36.640 There's no place

00:44:37.260 else to go.

00:44:38.160 So,

00:44:38.540 they gave the notice

00:44:39.560 for the Rafa people

00:44:40.460 to evacuate

00:44:41.320 and I guess

00:44:43.400 the only place

00:44:43.900 they could go

00:44:44.380 is to the destroyed north,

00:44:46.720 which means

00:44:47.360 that they're destroying

00:44:48.180 less of the north now.

00:44:50.000 So,

00:44:50.220 did they actually win?

00:44:51.840 I mean,

00:44:52.240 in the north?

00:44:53.600 I don't know

00:44:54.000 what's going on there.

00:44:54.820 So,

00:44:55.100 there's a little

00:44:56.060 mystery going on.

00:44:58.780 But,

00:44:59.260 apparently,

00:44:59.800 Rafa is the big city

00:45:01.160 that a lot of people

00:45:02.380 thought they would

00:45:02.920 never go into,

00:45:04.360 but Netanyahu

00:45:05.120 is saying,

00:45:05.920 yes,

00:45:06.820 we are going in there,

00:45:07.920 total victory.

00:45:08.480 So,

00:45:09.560 now you understand

00:45:10.620 the total victory

00:45:11.900 slogan,

00:45:13.860 right?

00:45:15.380 So,

00:45:15.800 Netanyahu

00:45:16.300 is saying,

00:45:17.040 total victory

00:45:17.720 and

00:45:18.900 it's very clarifying

00:45:20.840 because if you thought

00:45:22.280 they weren't going

00:45:22.900 into,

00:45:23.400 into Rafa,

00:45:25.620 then you didn't understand

00:45:26.700 what total means.

00:45:29.020 Total victory.

00:45:30.300 Like,

00:45:30.680 every single Hamas person 0.99

00:45:31.980 will be jailed

00:45:32.780 or killed.

00:45:33.740 Every one of them.

00:45:35.060 You know,

00:45:35.500 the fighters.

00:45:35.900 So,

00:45:37.900 there's a story

00:45:41.000 that Biden

00:45:41.920 is mad at Netanyahu

00:45:43.160 and behind the scenes

00:45:44.980 called him

00:45:45.480 an a-hole. 0.82

00:45:47.140 So,

00:45:47.540 NBC is reporting that.

00:45:50.260 NBC is reporting it.

00:45:52.140 Now,

00:45:52.340 remember,

00:45:53.780 if all you know

00:45:54.900 is what the news is,

00:45:56.820 you don't know anything.

00:45:58.340 You have to know

00:45:59.280 who the players are

00:46:00.340 to know something.

00:46:02.000 And this is NBC

00:46:03.040 reporting

00:46:03.680 an anonymous source

00:46:05.360 the least credible

00:46:07.960 reporting

00:46:08.680 from the least

00:46:09.660 credible entity.

00:46:11.640 Right?

00:46:12.260 NBC would be

00:46:13.140 the least credible entity

00:46:14.640 because they're,

00:46:15.680 the smart people

00:46:17.160 tell me

00:46:17.620 they're fully owned

00:46:18.980 by the CIA.

00:46:21.180 So,

00:46:21.860 why would they

00:46:22.380 go after Biden

00:46:23.340 specifically on this point

00:46:25.460 about Netanyahu?

00:46:28.020 Is it because

00:46:28.940 they don't want

00:46:29.560 Netanyahu

00:46:30.040 to go into

00:46:30.780 Rafa?

00:46:31.440 or they're

00:46:33.040 trying to tank

00:46:33.860 the relationship

00:46:35.100 between Netanyahu

00:46:36.220 and Biden?

00:46:37.440 Or are they

00:46:38.060 trying to make sure

00:46:38.760 Biden doesn't get

00:46:39.920 re-elected?

00:46:42.040 Because I think

00:46:42.740 Netanyahu's not

00:46:43.580 so popular

00:46:44.500 that saying a bad

00:46:46.620 thing about him

00:46:47.200 would hurt you

00:46:47.780 necessarily.

00:46:49.960 All right.

00:46:50.760 Well,

00:46:51.100 we don't know that,

00:46:51.840 but I wouldn't

00:46:52.240 believe that story.

00:46:53.260 If we're going

00:46:53.800 to be consistent,

00:46:55.080 and I like to do that,

00:46:57.040 if we had heard

00:46:58.300 this story about Trump,

00:46:59.720 would you believe it?

00:47:01.440 If you heard

00:47:02.880 an anonymous source

00:47:04.120 reported only

00:47:05.680 by NBC

00:47:06.440 said that Trump

00:47:08.140 had said a bad

00:47:08.940 thing about another

00:47:09.720 world leader,

00:47:10.860 would you believe it?

00:47:12.400 I hope not.

00:47:13.900 That would be

00:47:14.360 the lowest level

00:47:15.120 of credibility.

00:47:16.380 So,

00:47:17.080 when it happens

00:47:18.160 to Biden,

00:47:19.540 do you believe it?

00:47:21.180 You should not.

00:47:22.900 Doesn't mean

00:47:23.380 it didn't happen.

00:47:24.520 I don't know

00:47:24.920 if it happened or not.

00:47:25.980 But you should put

00:47:26.860 on this the lowest

00:47:28.080 level of credibility.

00:47:29.400 an embarrassingly

00:47:31.400 low level.

00:47:32.520 Like,

00:47:33.020 really embarrassingly

00:47:34.020 low.

00:47:35.280 But does he,

00:47:36.500 does Biden,

00:47:37.620 is he pleased

00:47:38.320 with Netanyahu?

00:47:39.260 I don't think so.

00:47:40.660 Because they do

00:47:41.540 have a different

00:47:42.020 opinion about

00:47:42.640 the ceasefire.

00:47:43.460 And that's a

00:47:44.060 pretty big topic.

00:47:45.320 So I don't think

00:47:46.140 he's happy with them.

00:47:46.900 But did he call him

00:47:47.720 an a-hole?

00:47:48.300 I don't know.

00:47:49.520 I wouldn't,

00:47:49.960 I wouldn't bet

00:47:50.660 my life on it.

00:47:51.360 All right,

00:47:54.120 here's the funniest

00:47:55.140 tragic news

00:47:56.160 I've heard in a while.

00:47:57.700 The Jewish News Syndicate,

00:47:59.420 I don't know who they are,

00:48:00.280 but they're reporting

00:48:00.980 that there's a split

00:48:02.760 in Hamas leadership.

00:48:05.060 And that some

00:48:05.640 senior officials

00:48:06.520 realize that

00:48:07.780 the terror group

00:48:08.580 will not remain

00:48:09.440 in Gaza

00:48:09.940 after the war.

00:48:12.300 Wait,

00:48:12.860 what?

00:48:14.720 According to this,

00:48:16.480 there were members

00:48:17.220 of Hamas

00:48:18.060 who believed

00:48:19.080 that Hamas 0.99

00:48:19.680 would still remain

00:48:20.500 in Gaza

00:48:20.980 after the war.

00:48:23.600 Seriously?

00:48:25.380 Have they not

00:48:26.220 been listening

00:48:26.700 to anything?

00:48:28.080 Do they have not,

00:48:28.960 they have no,

00:48:29.660 no access to news?

00:48:32.920 Let me explain

00:48:33.780 what total means.

00:48:36.200 Total victory.

00:48:38.600 Total victory

00:48:39.400 means every one

00:48:40.280 of you will be dead, 0.95

00:48:41.920 including the leader.

00:48:43.760 100% guaranteed

00:48:45.500 every one of you

00:48:46.840 will be dead

00:48:47.400 or in jail,

00:48:48.000 I suppose.

00:48:49.180 Right?

00:48:49.340 So,

00:48:52.260 but Hamas 0.60

00:48:53.040 is still acting

00:48:53.980 as if maybe

00:48:55.340 they'll still be

00:48:56.020 in power

00:48:56.540 after the war

00:48:57.320 is over?

00:48:58.060 Do they really

00:48:58.820 not know

00:48:59.340 that that option

00:49:00.140 is completely gone?

00:49:03.300 It's weird.

00:49:05.580 Hamas,

00:49:06.120 no mas.

00:49:07.640 No mas.

00:49:09.020 No mas,

00:49:09.960 Hamas. 0.73

00:49:10.900 No,

00:49:11.220 let me,

00:49:11.840 if Hamas 0.72

00:49:12.360 is listening

00:49:12.900 and I'm pretty sure

00:49:14.660 Hamas tunes in 0.83

00:49:16.280 every day,

00:49:16.720 listen to my podcast

00:49:17.700 because they're so

00:49:18.660 fascinating and

00:49:19.400 entertaining.

00:49:20.780 But if you're

00:49:21.540 listening Hamas, 0.59

00:49:23.380 let me explain

00:49:24.480 what the word

00:49:25.100 total means.

00:49:27.100 Total.

00:49:28.700 Total.

00:49:29.900 It means

00:49:30.840 all,

00:49:32.260 like every bit.

00:49:34.320 Nothing left over.

00:49:36.340 No crumbs left over.

00:49:37.480 All of it.

00:49:38.460 All of it.

00:49:39.820 So no,

00:49:40.540 there won't be

00:49:41.080 any Hamas

00:49:41.740 left in Gaza.

00:49:42.600 They will be

00:49:44.460 all gone.

00:49:46.480 100%.

00:49:46.920 Every single one.

00:49:49.320 Is that clear enough?

00:49:51.540 All right.

00:49:54.140 You're probably

00:49:54.820 wondering,

00:49:55.780 and I know

00:49:56.160 it's taken me

00:49:56.780 a long time,

00:49:57.620 but so many people

00:49:59.400 are asking,

00:50:00.280 so I guess

00:50:00.800 I have to do it.

00:50:02.280 Scott,

00:50:02.920 how would you

00:50:03.620 make peace

00:50:04.220 in the Middle East?

00:50:05.120 All right.

00:50:05.720 All right.

00:50:06.820 If it's going

00:50:07.740 to come to me,

00:50:08.320 I'm going to do it.

00:50:09.300 All right.

00:50:09.640 I was thinking

00:50:10.740 that maybe some

00:50:11.520 of you could

00:50:11.960 handle this.

00:50:13.720 I was saying,

00:50:14.360 there are 8 billion

00:50:15.020 people in the world.

00:50:16.440 Does it always

00:50:17.080 have to fall to me

00:50:18.060 to solve everything?

00:50:21.800 But okay.

00:50:23.000 Okay.

00:50:24.080 So let me give you

00:50:25.040 my solution

00:50:25.680 for the Palestinian

00:50:27.600 situation,

00:50:28.660 what we call

00:50:30.480 the one-state solution

00:50:33.000 or the two-state solution.

00:50:34.620 Are you ready?

00:50:36.080 Number one,

00:50:37.320 make Jerusalem 0.72

00:50:38.500 the capital

00:50:39.240 for both

00:50:40.660 the Israelis

00:50:41.640 and the Palestinians.

00:50:46.400 I'm just waiting

00:50:47.160 for the reaction.

00:50:48.720 Make Jerusalem 0.95

00:50:49.400 the capital

00:50:50.020 for both.

00:50:50.740 Oh, there we go.

00:50:51.460 There's the nose.

00:50:52.880 Oh, you haven't heard

00:50:53.620 the whole plan.

00:50:55.120 Did you think

00:50:55.640 that was it?

00:50:56.900 You didn't think

00:50:57.640 there was a trick?

00:50:58.960 Come on.

00:50:59.800 How long have you

00:51:00.640 been listening to me?

00:51:02.180 You don't think

00:51:02.720 there's a second shoe

00:51:03.780 that's going to drop?

00:51:05.180 You don't think

00:51:05.880 I've got a clever

00:51:07.380 way to frame this?

00:51:09.080 All right.

00:51:10.320 Here it comes.

00:51:11.860 You make Jerusalem 0.94

00:51:12.720 the capital

00:51:13.460 for both Israel

00:51:14.640 and the Palestinians,

00:51:16.780 but

00:51:17.300 it has to be

00:51:19.680 a remote workforce.

00:51:20.900 You can't actually

00:51:21.520 go there.

00:51:23.020 So anybody

00:51:23.700 can go there

00:51:24.440 except the government.

00:51:26.720 The government

00:51:27.400 cannot go there

00:51:28.200 to work.

00:51:28.640 They can go there

00:51:29.240 to visit.

00:51:30.340 Nobody would be

00:51:31.260 prevented.

00:51:31.680 So the government

00:51:34.140 of both

00:51:34.580 could visit

00:51:35.040 as much as they want,

00:51:36.100 but they wouldn't

00:51:36.520 be allowed

00:51:36.880 to have a building there.

00:51:38.800 They wouldn't be

00:51:39.720 allowed

00:51:40.300 to have a building.

00:51:44.420 Or if they have

00:51:45.840 a building,

00:51:46.300 it's just a server farm,

00:51:47.840 and they just

00:51:48.560 work remotely.

00:51:50.660 Now,

00:51:51.140 what happens

00:51:51.700 if the Palestinians 0.97

00:51:53.300 and the Israelis

00:51:54.620 want to meet

00:51:56.700 with each other,

00:51:57.820 which seems like

00:51:58.360 a good idea?

00:51:59.620 Do you know

00:51:59.900 where it would be

00:52:00.300 a good place

00:52:00.800 to do that?

00:52:02.680 In Jerusalem.

00:52:05.820 Maybe the only thing

00:52:07.400 you should do there

00:52:08.200 politically

00:52:09.120 is when those

00:52:10.420 two sides are meeting.

00:52:12.180 Maybe it's the only thing.

00:52:14.000 Now,

00:52:14.420 I know what you're saying,

00:52:15.240 but Scott,

00:52:15.960 Scott,

00:52:16.980 you know,

00:52:17.200 it's Israel's land, 0.69

00:52:18.740 blah, blah, blah.

00:52:19.420 It's still their land.

00:52:20.880 They would still have

00:52:21.620 total military

00:52:22.620 police control.

00:52:24.460 It would still be,

00:52:25.360 you know,

00:52:25.680 on their map.

00:52:27.220 It's just that

00:52:27.820 you would say

00:52:28.360 all the politicians

00:52:30.660 are working on Zoom.

00:52:31.660 and nobody's

00:52:33.380 going to be there

00:52:33.820 physically,

00:52:34.400 but it's both

00:52:35.080 of your capitals.

00:52:36.840 And if you want

00:52:37.380 to meet together,

00:52:38.260 we've got this

00:52:39.300 one facility

00:52:40.080 that you both own

00:52:41.480 and that's where

00:52:42.820 the meetings will be

00:52:43.680 if you need to

00:52:44.320 meet together.

00:52:45.940 All right?

00:52:46.160 So that's the first part.

00:52:48.380 I'm just getting started.

00:52:50.580 The second part is

00:52:51.760 you say to the Palestinians,

00:52:54.740 so you say

00:52:56.080 you would like to,

00:52:57.040 you know,

00:52:58.420 take over Israel 0.93

00:52:59.320 and get your,

00:53:00.740 get what you would say

00:53:01.620 is your land back.

00:53:03.080 Now,

00:53:03.240 Israel would say 0.93

00:53:03.960 it's their ancestral home

00:53:06.200 and, you know,

00:53:07.480 they have it fair and square.

00:53:09.540 But you recognize

00:53:10.560 there's a difference

00:53:11.260 of opinion.

00:53:12.680 So suppose you said,

00:53:14.060 let's talk about

00:53:14.960 this issue

00:53:16.200 and I'd like to make

00:53:17.800 you an offer.

00:53:19.360 Here's the offer

00:53:20.140 and let's say you're Israel.

00:53:21.300 Here's the offer.

00:53:22.560 What is it about Jerusalem,

00:53:24.540 I'm sorry,

00:53:24.960 what is it about Israel

00:53:25.900 that you want?

00:53:27.640 And they'd say

00:53:28.240 everything.

00:53:29.680 Like,

00:53:30.060 it was ours.

00:53:30.860 That's what they would say,

00:53:31.740 right?

00:53:31.920 the Palestinians

00:53:32.680 who were displaced

00:53:34.360 in 1948.

00:53:37.160 When they were kids,

00:53:38.120 they'd say,

00:53:38.700 we want it all.

00:53:40.320 So you say,

00:53:40.740 well,

00:53:40.920 define all.

00:53:42.220 Let's break it down.

00:53:43.980 We'll go back to total.

00:53:45.500 What's the total?

00:53:46.800 So number one,

00:53:48.080 is it about the location?

00:53:50.860 It's something about

00:53:51.480 the location, right?

00:53:52.520 Because it's like holy.

00:53:54.040 And they say,

00:53:54.520 yes,

00:53:54.780 obviously,

00:53:55.300 the location.

00:53:56.220 It's the holy place.

00:53:57.900 The location,

00:53:58.740 obviously.

00:53:59.580 So then you say,

00:54:01.040 well,

00:54:01.280 from a God point of view,

00:54:03.920 since God is the one

00:54:05.200 who is important

00:54:06.820 to the question

00:54:07.440 of what location

00:54:08.340 who belongs in,

00:54:10.160 it's sort of a God

00:54:11.060 point of view,

00:54:11.940 do you think God

00:54:13.000 doesn't understand

00:54:14.660 how location works?

00:54:16.560 Because location

00:54:17.560 doesn't work

00:54:18.180 the way you think it does.

00:54:19.580 From a God perspective

00:54:21.140 who can see

00:54:21.740 the entire universe

00:54:22.680 and all the planets,

00:54:24.320 the position

00:54:25.080 of that holy land

00:54:26.220 is somewhere

00:54:26.760 back in empty space.

00:54:28.980 Because position

00:54:29.740 is only relevant

00:54:30.820 to other objects.

00:54:33.220 And the other objects

00:54:34.360 on earth

00:54:34.920 are just some

00:54:35.520 of the objects.

00:54:36.620 Most of the objects

00:54:37.760 in the world

00:54:38.440 or in the universe

00:54:41.040 are elsewhere.

00:54:42.480 So there is

00:54:43.380 no such thing

00:54:44.240 from a God's perspective.

00:54:47.040 There's no such thing

00:54:47.940 as a location.

00:54:49.760 Because the location

00:54:51.180 of tomorrow

00:54:51.840 just doesn't exist.

00:54:53.520 I mean,

00:54:53.760 the location of yesterday

00:54:54.560 doesn't exist.

00:54:55.240 So then Hamas says,

00:54:58.600 all right,

00:54:58.900 you're being too cute.

00:55:00.040 That's too cute.

00:55:00.980 You know what we mean.

00:55:02.720 And then I say,

00:55:03.640 what do you mean?

00:55:06.220 I've got an idea.

00:55:07.720 If it's the location

00:55:09.060 that matters

00:55:09.680 and you guys

00:55:10.900 are really good

00:55:11.520 at building tunnels,

00:55:12.640 how about this?

00:55:13.980 The Israelis 0.92

00:55:14.860 will have above ground

00:55:16.220 because they've got

00:55:17.760 that stuff there.

00:55:18.680 It's already built.

00:55:20.540 And we'll give

00:55:22.460 the Palestinians

00:55:23.220 as much as they want

00:55:24.540 underground.

00:55:26.700 So if you're a mile,

00:55:28.140 let's say you have

00:55:28.860 to be at least

00:55:29.280 a mile down.

00:55:30.680 But you can have

00:55:31.260 as much as you can

00:55:31.980 have the whole thing.

00:55:33.240 The Israelis will own 1.00

00:55:34.380 nothing underground,

00:55:36.620 you know,

00:55:36.840 unless there's oil

00:55:37.540 there or something.

00:55:39.160 And you can have

00:55:39.900 as much as you want.

00:55:41.140 Total location,

00:55:43.500 you got it.

00:55:44.640 And then they're going

00:55:45.260 to say,

00:55:45.520 Scott,

00:55:46.280 we didn't have

00:55:48.040 underground

00:55:48.860 underground before.

00:55:50.900 We were above ground,

00:55:52.460 so we're not going

00:55:53.060 to settle for tunnels.

00:55:55.200 Right?

00:55:55.980 We're not going

00:55:56.500 to settle for tunnels.

00:55:57.640 And then I'd say,

00:55:59.040 okay,

00:55:59.380 so you're admitting

00:56:00.060 it's not the location

00:56:01.180 that's the important part.

00:56:03.340 That's just all

00:56:04.160 we were trying

00:56:04.640 to accomplish.

00:56:06.260 So you're saying

00:56:07.100 the location,

00:56:08.360 first of all,

00:56:09.000 doesn't exist,

00:56:10.180 logically,

00:56:11.280 from a God perspective

00:56:12.620 because all the planets

00:56:13.780 have moved since then.

00:56:15.380 And secondly,

00:56:16.320 you're saying that

00:56:16.840 even if we gave you

00:56:17.880 the location,

00:56:18.860 in the way

00:56:20.580 that you've actually

00:56:21.380 been maximizing

00:56:22.280 location recently

00:56:23.340 in Gaza,

00:56:24.260 underground,

00:56:25.300 you're saying

00:56:25.780 that's not good enough.

00:56:26.820 So it's not the location

00:56:27.940 by itself.

00:56:29.300 There's more to it.

00:56:30.780 And they say,

00:56:31.200 yes.

00:56:32.380 It's, you know,

00:56:33.060 the physical place

00:56:34.240 that, you know,

00:56:35.480 our ancestors walked,

00:56:37.480 like above ground.

00:56:39.060 And then you say,

00:56:40.100 how much of the topsoil

00:56:43.240 would you need

00:56:44.100 to be happy

00:56:45.840 that that was

00:56:47.560 your ancestral place?

00:56:49.500 And then they say,

00:56:50.520 what?

00:56:51.740 So yeah,

00:56:52.700 suppose we take

00:56:53.660 the top foot

00:56:54.500 of topsoil,

00:56:55.720 you know,

00:56:56.380 to get down

00:56:57.360 as far as

00:56:58.300 certainly existed

00:56:59.860 in ancient times.

00:57:01.820 You know,

00:57:02.020 we'll go down

00:57:02.440 like 3,000 years,

00:57:03.980 which might be a foot,

00:57:05.700 two feet,

00:57:06.260 I don't know.

00:57:07.440 And we'll,

00:57:08.360 well,

00:57:08.580 you can have

00:57:08.880 as much as you want.

00:57:10.080 If you want to build

00:57:10.960 your house somewhere else,

00:57:12.500 we'll find a place

00:57:13.620 in Israel

00:57:14.080 that's got some extra dirt.

00:57:16.140 We'll just scrape off

00:57:17.240 enough for your house

00:57:18.480 and then you can have

00:57:20.180 holy land dirt

00:57:21.640 and literally build it

00:57:23.100 on the same dirt

00:57:24.420 that your ancestors

00:57:25.540 walked on.

00:57:26.920 So you'll also get land,

00:57:28.640 you know,

00:57:28.860 because the West Bank

00:57:29.820 has extra land.

00:57:32.700 Extra doesn't mean

00:57:33.740 nobody owns it,

00:57:34.540 but you know what I mean.

00:57:35.660 There's space.

00:57:37.140 And so you can get

00:57:38.920 the dirt

00:57:39.500 and you can get

00:57:41.480 the location.

00:57:43.300 You can get the sun

00:57:44.700 because you're,

00:57:46.420 you know,

00:57:46.760 on the dirt outside

00:57:47.740 if you like.

00:57:49.060 And you would agree

00:57:49.960 that location

00:57:50.640 doesn't mean much

00:57:51.480 in terms of God.

00:57:53.320 So you can have

00:57:54.100 the dirt,

00:57:54.600 the location.

00:57:55.700 And then they say,

00:57:56.700 but what about the money?

00:57:58.560 Like we lost everything.

00:58:00.460 You know,

00:58:00.880 when we left,

00:58:01.640 you know,

00:58:01.880 we would have owned a house,

00:58:03.020 we would have owned property

00:58:03.880 and that'd be worth something.

00:58:05.640 Here's what I would do.

00:58:07.700 If they would accept

00:58:08.960 all the other terms

00:58:11.500 and if Israel wanted to pay

00:58:13.880 some kind of reparations

00:58:15.040 just to put a,

00:58:16.360 you know,

00:58:16.720 put a tag in this thing forever,

00:58:19.520 they should do it with stock.

00:58:24.020 They should issue stock

00:58:25.620 in the index of Israeli companies.

00:58:28.460 And here's why.

00:58:33.740 Because you want the Palestinians 1.00

00:58:35.380 not just to be satisfied

00:58:37.260 that something happened

00:58:38.800 that, you know,

00:58:40.260 gave them some peace,

00:58:41.560 but that they're bought

00:58:42.620 into Israel's

00:58:43.840 continued economic existence.

00:58:47.800 If you gave somebody

00:58:49.080 $5,000 in stock

00:58:51.780 in the Israel economy,

00:58:55.420 would they want to throw away

00:58:57.760 $5,000

00:58:58.420 and say,

00:58:59.360 no,

00:58:59.800 we hate this

00:59:00.980 dirty Jew stock. 0.99

00:59:03.300 We don't want any of your,

00:59:04.900 and they say,

00:59:05.460 I thought you wanted reparations.

00:59:07.880 I can't think of a better

00:59:08.960 reparation than stock

00:59:10.140 because it will keep going up.

00:59:13.200 The only thing

00:59:14.040 that would be required

00:59:15.060 for Israel's stock

00:59:17.640 to go up

00:59:18.320 is what?

00:59:20.840 Let me say it to you

00:59:21.980 in a better way.

00:59:22.560 Are you ready?

00:59:25.620 Here's the payoff.

00:59:27.000 It's coming.

00:59:29.640 Have you seen

00:59:30.520 the Israeli stock market today?

00:59:34.520 I think it's at

00:59:35.780 an all-time high.

00:59:37.920 Do you know why?

00:59:39.840 Because they're

00:59:40.680 unambiguously winning

00:59:41.940 in Gaza.

00:59:44.080 Unambiguously.

00:59:45.800 What would the stock market

00:59:47.380 look like in Israel

00:59:48.640 if they made a deal

00:59:50.900 with the Palestinians

00:59:52.000 that the Palestinians

00:59:52.960 actually accepted?

00:59:55.160 What would that do

00:59:56.020 to the stock market?

00:59:58.920 20% to 50%?

01:00:01.480 I mean,

01:00:02.040 it would change

01:00:02.620 the future of Israel

01:00:04.400 forever.

01:00:06.340 So it's the sort of thing

01:00:07.500 where if you gave

01:00:08.320 people stock,

01:00:10.540 they would have

01:00:11.400 a financial incentive

01:00:12.540 that would be real,

01:00:13.880 and it could double

01:00:16.100 if they just decide

01:00:17.100 to do a little piece.

01:00:18.000 it could double.

01:00:21.360 And $10,000

01:00:22.460 probably means a lot

01:00:23.700 to a lot of people,

01:00:24.520 especially if it's

01:00:25.240 every family member

01:00:26.440 or something like that.

01:00:27.640 Now you might say

01:00:28.320 to yourself,

01:00:28.820 Scott,

01:00:30.000 Israel can't afford that.

01:00:32.660 To which I say,

01:00:34.440 don't the Palestinians 1.00

01:00:35.340 have friends

01:00:36.140 like tons of people

01:00:38.000 who would like

01:00:38.620 to help them out?

01:00:40.280 Have them help them out

01:00:41.360 by buying stock

01:00:42.460 that is then gifted

01:00:44.040 to the Palestinians.

01:00:45.040 then everybody wins.

01:00:50.880 Islam wants to 1.00

01:00:51.920 own the planet,

01:00:52.940 somebody says.

01:00:53.600 Oh, I get it.

01:00:54.440 I get it.

01:00:56.040 Yeah.

01:00:56.340 I do understand

01:00:57.600 that there's a

01:00:58.680 religious imperative,

01:01:00.380 but you can

01:01:01.480 cleave that out,

01:01:03.620 at least

01:01:04.520 for the Holy Lands,

01:01:06.380 just by making

01:01:07.380 location look stupid

01:01:09.360 as an idea.

01:01:11.100 Yeah.

01:01:11.680 Now anybody

01:01:12.480 who doesn't accept

01:01:13.300 that idea

01:01:13.860 probably has to be

01:01:15.700 dealt with.

01:01:19.700 All right.

01:01:20.340 So,

01:01:21.080 that is my plan.

01:01:23.280 Now,

01:01:23.980 would that work?

01:01:24.780 Of course not.

01:01:25.700 Of course not.

01:01:26.480 Because the personalities

01:01:27.400 are such

01:01:28.100 that it wouldn't matter

01:01:29.300 if it was a good offer

01:01:30.440 or a bad offer.

01:01:31.680 It only matters

01:01:32.440 that they're enemies

01:01:33.080 and they want to stay

01:01:33.780 that way, apparently.

01:01:35.300 So,

01:01:36.020 I don't think it'd work,

01:01:38.420 but wouldn't it be

01:01:39.120 interesting to have it

01:01:39.960 out there?

01:01:40.300 Wouldn't it be

01:01:42.540 interesting to just

01:01:43.380 have it out there?

01:01:44.960 Because then you'd say,

01:01:46.220 look,

01:01:46.520 I've got a plan.

01:01:48.580 Now,

01:01:48.880 here's the hardest part.

01:01:50.580 Here's the real payoff.

01:01:52.000 Two-state solution

01:01:52.960 or one,

01:01:53.400 how do you solve that?

01:01:55.080 How in the world

01:01:55.920 do you solve

01:01:56.940 when there's some people

01:01:58.320 who absolutely

01:01:59.500 are never going to

01:02:00.340 give up

01:02:00.780 on the two-state solution

01:02:02.360 while at the other hand

01:02:04.880 there are people

01:02:05.280 who absolutely

01:02:05.960 won't give up

01:02:06.800 on one-state solution?

01:02:08.340 How do you solve it?

01:02:09.700 Easily.

01:02:11.520 Easily.

01:02:12.560 You create two states

01:02:14.420 that are really

01:02:16.240 one in all

01:02:17.060 the important ways.

01:02:19.740 That's it.

01:02:20.880 You just create

01:02:21.880 two states

01:02:22.660 that are really

01:02:23.920 just one

01:02:24.500 in all the important ways.

01:02:28.280 Now,

01:02:28.880 how do you do that?

01:02:29.660 A variety of ways.

01:02:31.080 For example,

01:02:31.860 you could say

01:02:32.340 Israel is going to do 1.00

01:02:33.480 the security concerns.

01:02:35.420 and they're going

01:02:38.200 to do the security

01:02:40.980 and that includes

01:02:42.080 the school curriculums

01:02:43.600 because it is literally

01:02:46.960 an existential threat

01:02:48.880 to Israel

01:02:49.480 if the schools

01:02:50.920 in the West Bank

01:02:51.740 are teaching them

01:02:52.900 to kill Jews. 0.74

01:02:54.920 It's an existential

01:02:55.860 homeland threat

01:02:57.780 to them.

01:02:59.220 So let's say

01:03:00.100 Israel controls 0.80

01:03:01.600 the security

01:03:02.280 but,

01:03:03.800 hold on,

01:03:05.440 what if they offer

01:03:06.460 that the Palestinians

01:03:07.360 don't have to pay

01:03:08.080 for any of it?

01:03:10.020 Now you've got

01:03:10.700 a country-ish,

01:03:13.500 it's not a full country

01:03:14.700 because it doesn't have

01:03:15.440 their own military

01:03:16.260 and security,

01:03:17.680 but that's being handled

01:03:18.720 for them.

01:03:20.040 If the Palestinians 1.00

01:03:21.200 were smart,

01:03:22.060 they'd say,

01:03:23.020 wait a minute,

01:03:24.100 did we just get

01:03:24.880 a country that doesn't

01:03:25.800 even need to pay

01:03:26.460 for military

01:03:27.180 or school

01:03:28.460 or police?

01:03:32.640 Do you know

01:03:33.280 what kind of

01:03:33.740 an economic advantage

01:03:34.920 that would be

01:03:35.520 if you didn't have

01:03:36.920 to pay for your own

01:03:37.660 security?

01:03:39.300 That's huge.

01:03:40.960 And let's say

01:03:41.480 that they now own

01:03:42.420 stock

01:03:42.900 and let's say

01:03:43.920 that there's enough

01:03:44.600 peace

01:03:45.100 that the Israelis

01:03:46.480 feel confident

01:03:47.640 investing more

01:03:48.720 in the West Bank

01:03:49.500 and we find ways

01:03:51.100 to work together

01:03:51.820 so that there are

01:03:52.560 enough employees

01:03:53.260 for everything.

01:03:53.900 there is actually

01:03:56.880 a two-state solution

01:03:58.020 that's really one state

01:03:59.060 that's really one state

01:03:59.960 acting like two states.

01:04:01.500 It's basically

01:04:02.320 the Taiwan solution.

01:04:04.980 The reason we don't

01:04:06.020 have a war in Taiwan

01:04:06.880 is that we agree

01:04:07.820 to pretend it's all

01:04:08.760 part of China,

01:04:09.660 but not really.

01:04:12.100 Right?

01:04:13.760 Now, if you'd never

01:04:14.900 seen the Taiwan thing

01:04:16.140 work,

01:04:17.320 it actually works.

01:04:18.620 I mean, so far.

01:04:21.760 You wouldn't think

01:04:22.700 that you could do

01:04:23.220 something as stupid

01:04:24.020 as saying that

01:04:25.080 two countries

01:04:26.560 are really one country,

01:04:27.960 but you absolutely

01:04:29.040 could do something

01:04:29.840 as stupid as saying

01:04:30.740 two countries

01:04:31.320 are really one country.

01:04:32.740 Of course you could.

01:04:34.060 You could sell anything.

01:04:35.840 It just has to be

01:04:36.760 in the best interest

01:04:37.520 of all the people involved.

01:04:39.340 Why is it that

01:04:40.120 everybody agrees

01:04:40.900 with the Taiwan situation,

01:04:42.460 which is clearly absurd

01:04:44.060 that it's two countries

01:04:46.360 and one country

01:04:47.000 at the same time?

01:04:48.060 Why does everybody

01:04:48.800 agree with that?

01:04:50.300 Because it's in

01:04:51.080 everybody's best interest.

01:04:52.740 That's it.

01:04:53.980 We just like

01:04:55.160 close our eyes

01:04:55.800 and say,

01:04:56.220 okay,

01:04:56.960 I don't want to

01:04:57.880 fight over this,

01:04:58.740 so all right,

01:04:59.540 it's just all China.

01:05:01.500 And China doesn't 0.97

01:05:02.420 want to have a war 0.99

01:05:03.160 over it,

01:05:04.120 so they say,

01:05:04.940 all right,

01:05:05.320 you can treat it

01:05:06.480 like it's a separate

01:05:07.440 country as long

01:05:08.320 as you say

01:05:09.500 it's China.

01:05:11.040 Right?

01:05:11.400 So we've agreed

01:05:12.280 to live in absurdity

01:05:13.680 because it just

01:05:14.820 happened to be

01:05:15.260 in everybody's

01:05:15.800 best interest.

01:05:16.880 Now, you're correct

01:05:17.820 in pointing out

01:05:18.520 that in China

01:05:19.380 you don't have

01:05:19.920 the religious dimension.

01:05:21.600 I'm seeing that

01:05:22.220 in the comments.

01:05:23.900 The religious dimension

01:05:25.060 makes everything

01:05:25.720 not work.

01:05:27.040 However,

01:05:28.160 I do think you

01:05:29.080 have an obligation

01:05:30.460 to offer a solution.

01:05:34.420 You should at least

01:05:35.440 make people

01:05:36.140 have to struggle

01:05:38.100 with why the

01:05:39.800 practical solution

01:05:40.960 isn't available

01:05:42.040 to them.

01:05:42.940 If you never do it,

01:05:44.980 it'll just always

01:05:45.800 be this way.

01:05:46.420 But over time,

01:05:48.820 maybe you could

01:05:49.620 convince people

01:05:50.360 that a practical

01:05:51.480 approach to their

01:05:52.420 own best interest

01:05:53.380 could be achieved

01:05:54.660 in which it doesn't

01:05:55.420 require them

01:05:56.040 to kill each other.

01:05:58.100 It would take a while.

01:05:59.580 But I think you

01:06:00.180 could sell the idea

01:06:01.360 that there's a way

01:06:02.560 to live in peace

01:06:03.540 and both have

01:06:04.220 their separate lives

01:06:05.860 and stuff.

01:06:06.340 So that,

01:06:08.160 ladies and gentlemen,

01:06:08.700 is my idea

01:06:09.760 for

01:06:10.280 solving the Middle East.

01:06:15.800 Perfectly impractical,

01:06:17.200 but that's how you start.

01:06:19.060 Just like the

01:06:19.860 Taiwan situation.

01:06:21.460 Absurd,

01:06:22.340 impractical,

01:06:23.400 no way it's

01:06:24.020 going to work,

01:06:25.000 but you've got to

01:06:25.600 start chipping at it.

01:06:27.240 You've got to start

01:06:27.780 chipping away.

01:06:28.420 Yeah.

01:06:34.160 All right,

01:06:36.820 that,

01:06:37.220 ladies and gentlemen,

01:06:37.940 is the conclusion

01:06:39.320 of my insanely

01:06:40.360 great show

01:06:41.120 that you're so happy

01:06:41.880 to have seen.

01:06:42.960 Thanks for joining

01:06:44.180 on the X platform

01:06:45.060 and on YouTube

01:06:46.200 and on Rumble.

01:06:48.180 You're all awesome.

01:06:49.380 And I will see you

01:06:50.380 tomorrow.

01:06:52.160 Assuming we're all

01:06:52.980 still here.

01:06:54.460 Bye for now.

01:06:55.300 Thanks for joining.
