Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2383 CWSA 02⧸13⧸24

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

00:00:13.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:15.220 I don't think there's ever been a better time in your experience,

00:00:18.680 but if you'd like to take it up to levels that could only be described as

00:00:22.960 Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl, I'm sorry, we're not done with her yet.

00:00:28.520 But if you'd like to take it up to that level, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein,

00:00:33.880 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:38.840 I like coffee.

00:00:40.660 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:43.900 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:46.960 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:49.720 Go.

00:00:54.900 Perfect.

00:00:55.260 Perfect.

00:00:55.420 Well, there are more planes falling apart in the sky.

00:01:04.160 There's a small plane approaching Buffalo, Niagara International, and the back door just fell off.

00:01:12.080 Now, I should tell you, just in case you're wondering, who makes all these airplanes?

00:01:17.260 Well, I've decided that Dilbert's company is going to be in the business of making screws for airplanes

00:01:23.900 that keep coming unscrewed in the air.

00:01:27.040 And I'm going to be spending a lot of time today trying to draw a picture of a pilot of an aircraft

00:01:35.020 where suddenly the entire aircraft has fallen apart in the sky.

00:01:39.580 So I'm trying to figure out how to draw this without too much detail

00:01:43.060 because I want the pilot to still be sitting in his pilot's seat,

00:01:47.920 but all the other parts of the airplane just sort of just, you know, are, like, separating.

00:01:53.040 So you can see that the nose cone is a little bit up here,

00:01:56.160 and, you know, the co-pilot's back a little bit.

00:01:59.220 Anyway, you'd have to be subscribing to Dilbert to see that,

00:02:04.220 either on X or at scottadams.locals.com.

00:02:10.100 NBC News reports, and I swear I'm not making this up.

00:02:14.120 These are the actual words I am quoting from an NBC News post on the X platform.

00:02:22.560 I'd like to read it exactly as written.

00:02:25.260 NBC News.

00:02:26.080 A Connecticut pastor has been arrested on allegations that he sold crystal meth

00:02:31.400 out of his church's rectory.

00:02:37.980 Seriously?

00:02:40.320 Well, I have this advice for you.

00:02:43.660 The best place to keep your crystal meth is in your rectory,

00:02:48.900 especially if you get pulled over by the police.

00:02:53.080 We'd like to check your rectory.

00:02:56.080 I don't think you want to.

00:02:58.880 All right, well, I have nothing to say about that,

00:03:00.820 except it's kind of funny that he kept his meth in his rectory.

00:03:04.440 I don't know.

00:03:05.640 Am I the only one who sees it?

00:03:07.420 I'm not the only one, right?

00:03:09.380 Did NBC do this intentionally?

00:03:12.980 Do you think they knew exactly what they were doing?

00:03:14.900 I feel like they did.

00:03:16.980 Put that meth right up your rectory.

00:03:19.540 All right.

00:03:19.840 Wall Street Journal says China is emerging as the big ocean power.

00:03:27.360 So apparently they've got gigantic shipbuilding capabilities,

00:03:30.800 so they're going to fill the ocean with ships.

00:03:35.480 You know, it's funny.

00:03:36.620 I was just thinking about this the other day,

00:03:39.420 that doesn't it seem like we're not talking enough

00:03:41.780 about how China's going to own the entire ocean?

00:03:45.420 Because all it takes is the number of ships, right?

00:03:49.060 If you just make it a sort of a fact on the ground,

00:03:52.460 but in the water in this case,

00:03:53.740 that you just have more stuff there,

00:03:56.200 you end up kind of owning it.

00:03:58.680 So I would say this is a pretty big risk.

00:04:02.320 Who's going to own the ocean?

00:04:06.020 Especially since I do believe there will be a number of countries

00:04:09.100 that are formed to be away from regular countries.

00:04:14.480 I think that's going to be a big thing.

00:04:16.180 There's already talk of an AI computing platform

00:04:19.980 that will be built in the ocean

00:04:21.360 so that it's not censored by governments.

00:04:26.180 So that's not too dangerous.

00:04:27.880 No, we're going to have at least one AI, maybe.

00:04:32.880 I mean, it's not a done deal.

00:04:35.060 But one AI might be floating in the ocean

00:04:37.040 and totally uncensored.

00:04:40.060 I think it will probably get bombed by the United States.

00:04:43.160 We'll have to take it out.

00:04:45.120 Because we don't want any AIs that are uncensored,

00:04:47.720 that's for sure.

00:04:50.020 All right.

00:04:51.840 But did you know that India has overtaken China

00:04:54.580 as the most populated country?

00:04:56.200 Did that sneak up on you like it snuck up on me?

00:05:01.620 So it turns out India is the most populated country.

00:05:05.820 So I'm glad that India is our friend.

00:05:09.880 All right, let's talk about inflation.

00:05:12.240 Do you believe any numbers about inflation?

00:05:15.500 Is there anything the government could tell you about inflation

00:05:18.280 that you would believe is accurate or useful?

00:05:23.300 Eh, I don't think so.

00:05:26.160 I don't think so.

00:05:28.040 But here's what happened.

00:05:29.660 Experts were thinking it would be maybe as low as 2.9,

00:05:34.140 but it came in at 3.1,

00:05:36.220 so it's hotter than they hoped,

00:05:38.080 but it's down from what it was at 3.4,

00:05:41.380 or is it?

00:05:42.460 It depends what you're measuring

00:05:43.540 and when you start measuring.

00:05:45.740 So New York Times reports that

00:05:47.900 as inflation is cooling less than expected,

00:05:51.220 which is another way to say

00:05:54.540 there's too much inflation.

00:05:58.800 Another way to look at it would be

00:06:00.180 overall prices are up almost 18%

00:06:02.520 since Biden took office.

00:06:06.120 But here's the thing.

00:06:07.800 You can definitely count on the American public

00:06:10.300 not being able to understand math or data

00:06:12.880 or really anything complicated.

00:06:15.520 So the Democrats can simply say

00:06:17.820 inflation is under control and it's doing fine,

00:06:21.200 even while you go into the store

00:06:23.340 and buy things and it's obviously more expensive.

00:06:28.380 Like, obviously.

00:06:29.400 Like, a lot.

00:06:30.020 Have you tried to ship anything lately?

00:06:35.100 I just bought some, you know,

00:06:38.180 some construction supplies

00:06:39.620 that are not terribly heavy.

00:06:42.300 You know, it's not like wood.

00:06:43.800 It's not wood.

00:06:44.560 It's not metal.

00:06:46.020 It's just some stuff.

00:06:47.960 And the shipping is $2,000.

00:06:51.920 The shipping, $2,000.

00:06:56.100 For sort of an ordinary product.

00:06:58.340 What it is is these faux brick

00:07:03.240 and faux wood things

00:07:04.480 that you put on a wall

00:07:05.580 so it looks like it's wood

00:07:06.900 or it looks like it's brick.

00:07:07.980 But they're not real brick.

00:07:09.940 You know, the actual thing

00:07:10.940 that looks like brick

00:07:11.820 is sort of a plasticky-looking thing.

00:07:15.500 Yeah, a veneer.

00:07:17.000 $2,000 just to ship it.

00:07:20.820 I don't know.

00:07:21.740 If you've tried to ship anything,

00:07:22.940 it's like $100

00:07:23.680 to ship a small package overnight.

00:07:27.140 $100.

00:07:29.180 The last time I checked,

00:07:30.520 it was like $30.

00:07:32.100 I mean, it's crazy.

00:07:33.640 Yeah, mostly fuel, probably.

00:07:36.760 So here's what I would tell you

00:07:38.280 about inflation.

00:07:40.320 The way we measure it is everything.

00:07:43.060 And the way we talk about it

00:07:44.380 is everything.

00:07:45.400 Nobody really understands this.

00:07:46.960 I think people understand

00:07:49.240 that they're paying more.

00:07:51.240 But beyond that,

00:07:52.360 we don't really know

00:07:53.560 how to sort out the data.

00:07:56.240 Well, Rasmussen had a poll

00:07:57.320 that said 81% of voters

00:07:58.660 say the issue of crime

00:08:00.820 will be important

00:08:01.680 in this year's election.

00:08:04.160 And 48% expect to be

00:08:06.100 very important.

00:08:07.720 And I realize that

00:08:08.900 there's something different

00:08:10.380 about the Biden voters

00:08:11.800 and the Trump voters.

00:08:12.740 Trump voters,

00:08:15.600 just tell me if you think

00:08:16.720 this is true

00:08:17.380 as a kind of a summary

00:08:19.020 of the whole situation.

00:08:21.000 It seems to me

00:08:21.640 that Trump voters

00:08:22.460 think our top priorities

00:08:24.840 are crime,

00:08:26.960 border security,

00:08:28.240 the economy,

00:08:29.540 and unnecessary

00:08:30.800 foreign spending.

00:08:33.180 Does that sound fair?

00:08:35.000 Those being the biggest priorities.

00:08:37.320 Whereas the Biden voters

00:08:39.280 are people who still think

00:08:41.920 the news is real.

00:08:45.180 And it turns out

00:08:46.240 that's not a joke.

00:08:47.660 There's a Gallup poll

00:08:48.900 that shows Republicans

00:08:50.620 understand the news

00:08:52.260 is not real

00:08:53.000 and don't trust it.

00:08:54.880 And Republicans

00:08:55.720 actually think it's real.

00:08:58.080 You know,

00:08:58.320 not all of them.

00:08:59.940 But on average,

00:09:02.340 there's a huge difference.

00:09:04.540 Huge difference.

00:09:06.160 Whether you believe

00:09:07.260 the news is real or not.

00:09:09.560 And I feel like

00:09:11.140 that's the entire story.

00:09:13.080 And if we don't frame it

00:09:14.760 that way,

00:09:15.360 we're just being silly.

00:09:18.360 Because it seems to me

00:09:19.820 that we don't have

00:09:21.480 disagreements about policy

00:09:23.320 as much as we think.

00:09:25.300 We have disagreements

00:09:26.800 about reality.

00:09:28.400 And the main disagreement

00:09:29.360 is that part of the country

00:09:31.120 thinks the news is real

00:09:32.460 and is trying to tell you

00:09:34.380 real news.

00:09:35.100 That hasn't been the case

00:09:37.260 in a long time.

00:09:39.200 And I don't know

00:09:39.960 if it's ever been the case.

00:09:41.380 There was a time

00:09:41.960 when I thought it was real.

00:09:43.540 You know,

00:09:43.840 back in the Walter Cronkite days.

00:09:46.040 I thought that was real news.

00:09:48.120 By today's perspective,

00:09:49.600 that seems funny.

00:09:51.860 Would you agree?

00:09:53.720 Is it obvious to you

00:09:55.040 that the news was never real?

00:09:57.580 It's just as more,

00:09:58.620 you know,

00:09:58.760 we figured it out.

00:09:59.700 It took a while.

00:10:01.340 Yeah.

00:10:01.580 Of course,

00:10:03.380 it's never been real.

00:10:05.260 Let me give you

00:10:06.020 some examples.

00:10:07.760 You might know

00:10:08.560 of somebody named

00:10:09.240 Peter Zahn,

00:10:10.480 who's a geopolitical analyst,

00:10:14.000 likes to talk about it

00:10:15.120 on videos and such.

00:10:16.640 He's got a new one

00:10:17.460 in which he speaks

00:10:19.260 of Tucker Carlson

00:10:20.320 and his interview

00:10:21.020 with Putin.

00:10:22.120 He calls him

00:10:22.780 an American journalist,

00:10:24.100 but he puts

00:10:24.520 journalists in quotes.

00:10:27.680 Really?

00:10:29.320 Tucker Carlson

00:10:30.400 of all the journalists

00:10:32.600 out there,

00:10:34.060 he's the one

00:10:34.680 you'd pick out

00:10:35.440 to put in quotes.

00:10:37.460 I don't know

00:10:38.100 if he's a journalist.

00:10:39.440 He might be

00:10:40.040 a quote journalist.

00:10:43.160 Really?

00:10:44.760 Well,

00:10:45.060 let's see

00:10:45.800 how the others

00:10:46.360 are doing.

00:10:47.380 Should we do

00:10:47.840 a brief review

00:10:48.760 of how the real

00:10:50.060 journalists are doing?

00:10:51.780 You know,

00:10:51.980 the ones you can count on?

00:10:55.580 Let's see.

00:10:56.300 Chris Hayes

00:10:57.060 at MSNBC

00:10:57.960 posts this.

00:11:00.180 He says,

00:11:01.420 two of the most

00:11:01.980 untold stories

00:11:02.880 of the Biden administration,

00:11:04.640 both of which

00:11:05.340 we've told before,

00:11:07.420 you yell at me,

00:11:08.520 in other words,

00:11:09.200 MSNBC has told them,

00:11:11.000 are,

00:11:11.600 number one,

00:11:12.460 under Biden,

00:11:13.260 U.S. oil production

00:11:14.180 is higher than

00:11:15.000 any country

00:11:15.780 ever in history.

00:11:18.060 Number two,

00:11:19.120 under Trump,

00:11:20.320 violent crime spiked,

00:11:21.700 and under Biden,

00:11:22.600 violent crime is falling.

00:11:24.820 So,

00:11:25.560 that would be

00:11:26.200 an example

00:11:26.740 of a real journalist

00:11:27.960 right there.

00:11:28.500 not one of these

00:11:30.220 fake,

00:11:32.280 Tucker Carlson

00:11:33.360 kind of journalists.

00:11:34.920 It's somebody

00:11:35.360 who will tell you

00:11:35.860 two real facts.

00:11:37.760 Oil production

00:11:38.360 is higher than

00:11:39.060 any country

00:11:39.700 ever before

00:11:40.280 under Biden,

00:11:41.660 and that

00:11:42.360 violent crime

00:11:43.160 spiked under Trump

00:11:44.060 and now it's down.

00:11:46.540 Is there,

00:11:47.960 I wonder,

00:11:49.960 is there any kind

00:11:51.060 of huge,

00:11:52.740 global,

00:11:53.960 external event

00:11:54.500 that would have

00:11:56.640 any bearing

00:11:57.380 on these numbers?

00:11:59.040 Let's see.

00:12:00.280 I don't know.

00:12:00.620 How about the pandemic?

00:12:02.520 Just to pick one example.

00:12:05.100 So,

00:12:05.620 would the pandemic

00:12:06.460 have had any impact

00:12:08.180 on oil production?

00:12:10.080 And,

00:12:10.620 is the comparison

00:12:11.620 what Biden did

00:12:14.280 to what Trump did?

00:12:16.440 Is that the correct comparison?

00:12:18.980 Because I feel like

00:12:20.100 almost everything

00:12:20.900 gets bigger or more

00:12:22.220 as you go forward

00:12:23.520 in time.

00:12:24.960 Shouldn't the actual

00:12:25.900 comparison be

00:12:26.800 not what Biden

00:12:28.200 is doing now

00:12:29.100 in oil production

00:12:29.960 compared to

00:12:31.100 what Trump did?

00:12:32.660 Shouldn't it be

00:12:33.400 what Trump

00:12:34.300 would have done

00:12:35.000 if he had been

00:12:35.740 in office

00:12:36.600 versus what Biden

00:12:38.120 did?

00:12:39.260 And how would

00:12:40.060 you compare those?

00:12:40.980 You can't

00:12:44.160 because Trump

00:12:45.900 wasn't in office.

00:12:47.400 So,

00:12:47.760 how do you know

00:12:48.220 that this is anything?

00:12:50.420 It's not anything

00:12:51.520 unless you're

00:12:53.280 comparing it,

00:12:54.620 you know,

00:12:54.800 the right comparison.

00:12:56.080 So,

00:12:56.300 no,

00:12:56.720 you cannot make

00:12:57.580 a comparison

00:12:58.220 of what somebody

00:12:59.020 is doing today

00:12:59.840 with what somebody

00:13:01.140 did four years ago

00:13:02.220 when the situation

00:13:03.220 was totally different

00:13:04.180 and maybe the pandemic

00:13:05.760 had something to do

00:13:06.840 with how much oil

00:13:07.620 got pumped

00:13:08.400 because we were

00:13:09.160 needing less of it.

00:13:10.120 I would think.

00:13:11.920 And plus,

00:13:12.320 it takes a while

00:13:12.880 to ramp up production

00:13:13.980 so it wouldn't

00:13:14.880 surprise me.

00:13:16.220 Given that

00:13:17.080 gas prices were high,

00:13:20.820 wouldn't you expect

00:13:21.720 a lot more drilling?

00:13:24.020 So,

00:13:24.740 what about

00:13:25.220 that violent crime spike?

00:13:27.720 I thought

00:13:28.180 all the experts

00:13:29.040 agreed

00:13:29.600 that the violent crime spike

00:13:32.000 was related

00:13:32.760 to the pandemic.

00:13:35.240 Didn't everybody

00:13:35.840 know that?

00:13:36.960 And then when

00:13:37.480 the pandemic ended,

00:13:38.580 didn't we all expect

00:13:39.400 that it would go

00:13:39.940 down,

00:13:40.280 which it did.

00:13:41.660 Now,

00:13:41.960 what went up

00:13:43.020 is property crime.

00:13:45.780 And that's based

00:13:46.780 on an actual

00:13:47.500 change in policy.

00:13:50.300 So,

00:13:50.880 the change

00:13:51.580 that Biden

00:13:52.140 is lucky enough

00:13:54.660 to be under

00:13:55.180 is one that just

00:13:56.340 happened because

00:13:56.980 the pandemic ended.

00:13:59.740 But the crime

00:14:00.660 that's still higher

00:14:01.440 is because of

00:14:02.340 actual Democrat

00:14:03.100 policies

00:14:03.760 of letting

00:14:04.820 criminals out of jail.

00:14:05.880 now,

00:14:09.200 how many of

00:14:09.640 MSNBC's

00:14:10.860 viewers

00:14:11.840 would have known

00:14:12.840 that this is

00:14:14.020 an absurd

00:14:14.620 two comparisons

00:14:15.920 and that

00:14:17.460 the pandemic

00:14:18.240 basically explains

00:14:19.440 both of them

00:14:20.060 plus the passage

00:14:20.980 of time?

00:14:23.780 Not many would know that.

00:14:25.540 But Chris Hayes

00:14:26.420 is what I call

00:14:27.080 a real journalist,

00:14:28.440 not one of these

00:14:29.520 Tucker Carlson

00:14:30.580 go to Moscow

00:14:32.020 and talk to

00:14:32.860 the most important

00:14:33.660 person in the world

00:14:34.460 because nobody

00:14:35.040 else talked to him

00:14:35.800 and get some

00:14:36.620 scoops and nobody

00:14:37.440 had journalist

00:14:38.900 with quotes.

00:14:43.420 All right,

00:14:44.220 let's talk about

00:14:46.300 believing the news.

00:14:49.740 So,

00:14:50.400 here's some things

00:14:51.300 we know.

00:14:52.980 Back when I was a kid,

00:14:54.600 I remember

00:14:55.040 in my parents' day,

00:14:57.020 they were told

00:14:57.540 that cigarettes

00:14:58.120 were good for them.

00:14:59.560 It was healthy.

00:15:00.780 But,

00:15:01.120 you know,

00:15:01.700 thank God

00:15:02.240 we're not idiots

00:15:02.920 like that now,

00:15:04.100 so we know

00:15:04.700 that's not true.

00:15:05.900 And then when I was

00:15:06.780 younger,

00:15:07.360 we were told

00:15:08.040 that occasional

00:15:09.140 drinking was

00:15:09.800 actually good

00:15:10.400 for you.

00:15:11.520 But now,

00:15:12.640 it turns out,

00:15:13.600 that was never true.

00:15:15.520 So,

00:15:15.880 thank God

00:15:16.400 we're not dumb

00:15:16.980 like we used to be,

00:15:17.900 thinking drinking

00:15:18.740 is good for you

00:15:19.360 if you only do

00:15:19.840 a little bit of it,

00:15:20.520 right?

00:15:22.460 Then when I was a kid,

00:15:23.520 there was a food pyramid

00:15:24.460 that told us

00:15:25.080 to eat the wrong foods.

00:15:26.520 Turns out the food

00:15:27.420 industry was behind it

00:15:28.620 and none of it

00:15:29.180 was science.

00:15:30.280 But thank God

00:15:30.880 we don't do that anymore.

00:15:31.760 I mean,

00:15:33.680 look how smart we are.

00:15:35.080 Now we know

00:15:36.260 tobacco is bad,

00:15:37.500 we know drinking

00:15:37.960 is bad for you,

00:15:39.000 and we know

00:15:39.380 the food pyramid

00:15:40.440 was a hoax.

00:15:42.000 It was fake.

00:15:44.040 But we're smarter now.

00:15:45.940 Like,

00:15:46.440 when you look back

00:15:47.140 at how dumb we were,

00:15:48.680 oh my goodness,

00:15:50.000 we were so simple-minded

00:15:51.740 back then

00:15:52.420 when I was a kid,

00:15:53.600 but we've gotten

00:15:54.480 so much smarter now.

00:15:56.160 We would never fall

00:15:57.060 for that sort of a thing.

00:15:59.540 We're much more sophisticated.

00:16:02.760 Yeah.

00:16:04.700 And then there was

00:16:05.460 the pandemic

00:16:05.880 in which nearly 100%

00:16:07.440 of everything

00:16:07.900 we were told by scientists

00:16:08.920 and experts

00:16:09.440 turned out to be wrong

00:16:10.460 or direct lies.

00:16:12.900 But, you know,

00:16:13.640 that pandemic

00:16:14.140 was a while ago.

00:16:15.460 That was a few years ago.

00:16:17.880 And it was a fog of war,

00:16:19.620 you know.

00:16:20.280 So, like,

00:16:20.920 you can't really imagine

00:16:22.560 that anything like that

00:16:24.100 is still happening today.

00:16:26.120 I mean,

00:16:27.320 not really.

00:16:29.460 And we've seen

00:16:30.380 that 100%

00:16:31.180 of our institutions

00:16:32.080 are clearly corrupt.

00:16:34.860 But not science.

00:16:36.880 Not science.

00:16:38.100 It's everything else.

00:16:39.840 So, we've gotten

00:16:40.700 so much better

00:16:41.300 because we used to be

00:16:42.400 so gullible.

00:16:44.460 We're believing

00:16:45.060 cigarettes are good

00:16:46.300 and drinking's good

00:16:47.320 and the food pyramid's real

00:16:48.660 and the pandemic stuff

00:16:50.160 was real

00:16:50.800 and all our institutions.

00:16:51.860 We thought maybe

00:16:53.360 weren't that corrupt.

00:16:54.380 But it turns out

00:16:54.900 we were wrong

00:16:55.320 about all that stuff.

00:16:57.020 But thank goodness,

00:16:58.920 thank goodness,

00:17:00.880 we're right about

00:17:01.620 climate change.

00:17:03.760 Am I right?

00:17:05.480 Because you'd hate

00:17:06.340 to get that one wrong

00:17:07.160 given, you know,

00:17:08.720 the stakes involved.

00:17:10.940 So,

00:17:11.780 here's what I would recommend.

00:17:16.120 I'd love to see

00:17:17.220 somebody as a dirty trick,

00:17:19.500 a Republican dirty trick.

00:17:21.860 Put together

00:17:22.860 a climate loyalty pledge

00:17:25.020 and ask Democrats

00:17:27.120 to sign it.

00:17:28.360 Now, here would be

00:17:29.020 what makes it funny.

00:17:30.900 It would be

00:17:31.620 asking them to sign

00:17:32.840 what they actually

00:17:33.640 do believe.

00:17:35.060 I would just word it

00:17:36.260 in the funniest way.

00:17:38.020 So, it wouldn't be

00:17:38.580 anything fake.

00:17:39.940 It would be things

00:17:40.620 they really,

00:17:41.460 genuinely believe.

00:17:43.100 And I would just

00:17:43.700 ask them to say it.

00:17:44.880 For example,

00:17:45.540 the loyalty pledge

00:17:46.400 might say,

00:17:47.620 I believe

00:17:48.320 that science

00:17:49.680 is so accurate

00:17:52.120 that it can measure

00:17:53.580 the temperature

00:17:54.460 of the planet

00:17:55.220 within a tenth

00:17:56.460 of a degree,

00:17:57.800 including historically.

00:18:00.480 I'd just like to see

00:18:01.560 people put their name

00:18:02.320 to that.

00:18:03.320 And then also

00:18:04.140 that they believe

00:18:05.180 that science

00:18:06.500 can predict

00:18:07.560 the temperature

00:18:08.460 for 75 years

00:18:09.900 in the future,

00:18:11.400 including the effect

00:18:13.120 of all technological changes,

00:18:15.360 new discoveries,

00:18:17.580 et cetera.

00:18:19.480 I'd love to see

00:18:20.340 somebody sign that

00:18:21.180 because that's

00:18:22.060 what they believe.

00:18:23.300 So, why wouldn't

00:18:24.160 you put it in writing?

00:18:26.660 Why not?

00:18:28.080 So,

00:18:29.080 let me say

00:18:31.440 as clearly

00:18:31.880 as I could possibly

00:18:33.200 say this.

00:18:33.720 I don't know

00:18:34.240 if humans

00:18:34.800 are causing

00:18:35.340 the world

00:18:35.760 to overheat

00:18:36.580 and it's a problem.

00:18:38.340 I don't know.

00:18:39.620 But I do know

00:18:40.660 that science

00:18:41.340 doesn't know either.

00:18:42.340 That's the only thing

00:18:44.820 I'm positive about.

00:18:46.880 Now,

00:18:47.160 let me put it

00:18:47.960 in this frame.

00:18:51.880 If you've lived

00:18:52.980 in a real world

00:18:54.020 where you've seen

00:18:55.240 how real organizations work,

00:18:58.840 you've seen

00:18:59.400 how real professionals operate,

00:19:02.400 you've seen

00:19:02.860 how real scientists work,

00:19:05.040 you see how

00:19:06.020 a corporation

00:19:07.220 does things

00:19:08.180 that maybe

00:19:09.060 the public

00:19:09.800 doesn't see everything

00:19:10.740 that's happening

00:19:11.320 behind the scenes.

00:19:12.500 So,

00:19:13.140 you've lived

00:19:13.520 in the real world

00:19:14.500 and you would believe

00:19:17.000 that scientists

00:19:17.720 can measure

00:19:18.360 the average temperature

00:19:19.560 of the planet

00:19:20.240 to within a tenth

00:19:21.720 of the degree.

00:19:25.400 That's not really

00:19:26.800 a realistic thing

00:19:28.520 to think.

00:19:30.420 And try to put yourself

00:19:32.180 40 years

00:19:34.180 in the future.

00:19:35.660 Just fast forward

00:19:36.520 your mind

00:19:37.080 and then think back

00:19:38.520 and think how

00:19:39.340 you're going to feel

00:19:40.180 if you're still around.

00:19:42.340 that you once believed

00:19:44.260 that scientists

00:19:45.100 could measure

00:19:45.640 the temperature

00:19:46.240 of the earth

00:19:46.680 within a tenth

00:19:47.360 of a degree

00:19:47.920 and then predict it

00:19:49.360 for the next 75 years.

00:19:50.640 How are you going

00:19:52.400 to feel about that?

00:19:54.400 Aren't you going

00:19:54.860 to think,

00:19:55.580 oh God,

00:19:56.480 that was so obvious.

00:19:58.400 Why didn't I see

00:19:59.400 that they couldn't

00:20:00.220 possibly do that?

00:20:01.700 But again,

00:20:02.360 let me say,

00:20:03.340 I don't know

00:20:03.800 if the planet

00:20:04.760 is warming.

00:20:05.860 I just know

00:20:06.440 that nobody else knows.

00:20:07.940 That's the only thing

00:20:08.620 I'm sure of.

00:20:10.520 Yeah,

00:20:10.800 it's the only thing

00:20:11.300 I'm sure of.

00:20:11.760 And by the way,

00:20:12.660 we should do

00:20:13.280 largely a lot

00:20:14.720 of the same things

00:20:15.460 we're doing

00:20:16.000 whether it's warming

00:20:17.460 or not.

00:20:18.700 We still want

00:20:19.480 alternate clean

00:20:20.760 energy sources.

00:20:22.320 We still want

00:20:23.220 tons of nuclear power.

00:20:24.900 We still want

00:20:25.440 fusion.

00:20:26.280 We still want

00:20:26.820 electric

00:20:27.240 if it works.

00:20:30.380 So,

00:20:31.140 I wouldn't do

00:20:31.760 much different,

00:20:32.840 but I'd change

00:20:33.440 the story.

00:20:35.760 Tucker Carlson

00:20:36.540 is making news

00:20:37.240 by saying that

00:20:37.940 Moscow is cleaner

00:20:38.980 and safer

00:20:39.420 than any major

00:20:40.380 city in the U.S.

00:20:43.980 And,

00:20:44.540 you know,

00:20:45.120 that's probably true.

00:20:46.480 But,

00:20:47.020 how much do you

00:20:48.640 want to live

00:20:49.320 in their entire

00:20:51.540 system?

00:20:53.220 And I ask that

00:20:54.100 as an actual question.

00:20:55.380 That sounded

00:20:55.780 rhetorical.

00:20:56.500 That's an actual

00:20:57.020 question.

00:20:58.300 Like,

00:20:58.500 what's it like

00:20:59.000 to be an average

00:20:59.600 Russian?

00:21:01.240 And why don't

00:21:01.960 I know that?

00:21:03.600 Is the average

00:21:04.300 Russian saying,

00:21:05.160 oh,

00:21:05.420 my political

00:21:06.180 system is so bad

00:21:08.320 or are they

00:21:10.060 saying,

00:21:10.880 you know what?

00:21:11.940 The things that I

00:21:12.820 can't do,

00:21:13.300 I don't care about.

00:21:14.420 I can't criticize

00:21:15.380 the government,

00:21:16.520 but I didn't have

00:21:17.720 much to say anyway.

00:21:19.740 And Moscow

00:21:20.560 looks pretty clean.

00:21:22.660 Taxes look

00:21:23.340 pretty good.

00:21:25.040 So,

00:21:26.560 and it looks

00:21:27.380 like even

00:21:28.000 Putin has,

00:21:28.820 you know,

00:21:29.380 support for the war.

00:21:31.220 He appears

00:21:31.880 to be one of the

00:21:32.400 most popular

00:21:33.020 leaders

00:21:33.580 anywhere.

00:21:36.040 So,

00:21:36.300 I would say

00:21:38.600 I don't want

00:21:39.220 to move

00:21:39.540 to a place

00:21:40.260 that has less

00:21:41.260 freedom than

00:21:41.960 the United States,

00:21:43.060 but the freedom

00:21:44.220 in the United States

00:21:44.960 has shrunk to the

00:21:45.800 point where it

00:21:46.280 can't be that

00:21:46.940 different from

00:21:47.560 Russia.

00:21:49.020 In the United States,

00:21:49.980 you can go to jail

00:21:50.760 for saying things

00:21:51.580 that are true.

00:21:53.160 You can go to jail

00:21:54.500 for free speech.

00:21:56.680 So,

00:21:58.220 is that

00:21:58.740 that different?

00:22:00.160 I do also

00:22:01.000 wonder about

00:22:01.600 organized crime.

00:22:03.600 You know,

00:22:03.980 isn't Moscow

00:22:05.000 riddled with,

00:22:06.360 you know,

00:22:08.040 criminals?

00:22:08.940 Like the

00:22:09.740 organized crime

00:22:10.700 kind?

00:22:14.280 Yeah.

00:22:16.420 Anyway,

00:22:17.040 we'll talk more

00:22:17.500 about Russia.

00:22:20.120 It looks like

00:22:21.000 Trump has a

00:22:21.780 new nickname

00:22:22.300 he's testing out

00:22:23.100 for Nikki Haley,

00:22:24.280 Tricky Dicky.

00:22:26.100 So,

00:22:26.800 here are some

00:22:27.800 things that

00:22:28.220 Nikki posted.

00:22:30.480 See if you can

00:22:31.180 tell how many

00:22:31.760 of these are

00:22:32.280 obvious hoaxes.

00:22:33.340 that every

00:22:34.340 Republican

00:22:35.020 knows is a

00:22:35.900 hoax.

00:22:36.820 But why

00:22:37.240 doesn't Nikki

00:22:37.880 Haley know

00:22:38.640 it?

00:22:39.360 Here's what

00:22:39.820 she said.

00:22:40.780 In Arlington

00:22:41.380 Cemetery,

00:22:42.120 she was talking

00:22:42.560 about Trump,

00:22:43.580 she says,

00:22:44.040 in Arlington

00:22:44.400 Cemetery,

00:22:45.060 you said,

00:22:45.820 what was in it

00:22:46.520 for them?

00:22:47.860 Do you believe

00:22:48.380 that really

00:22:48.800 happened?

00:22:50.560 No.

00:22:52.380 You insulted

00:22:53.380 military families

00:22:54.560 two days ago.

00:22:56.900 No.

00:22:58.360 That didn't

00:22:59.140 happen.

00:22:59.440 You call

00:23:00.340 veterans suckers

00:23:01.360 and losers.

00:23:02.780 No.

00:23:03.720 Nobody who's

00:23:05.240 a Republican

00:23:05.780 believes any

00:23:06.500 of that

00:23:06.820 happened.

00:23:07.860 Those are

00:23:08.260 all those

00:23:08.800 anonymous,

00:23:09.680 one-person-says

00:23:10.740 stories.

00:23:11.700 Those are

00:23:11.980 never true.

00:23:13.280 Stories like

00:23:14.360 this are

00:23:15.300 never true.

00:23:16.900 If it just

00:23:17.560 has this

00:23:18.000 character to

00:23:18.760 it, it's

00:23:19.780 not true.

00:23:20.900 Oh, somebody

00:23:21.580 said he said

00:23:22.100 something behind

00:23:22.680 closed doors.

00:23:24.360 Yeah.

00:23:25.080 How about,

00:23:25.520 and then she

00:23:28.080 says, you can't

00:23:28.780 fix that with a

00:23:29.480 fake social media

00:23:30.340 post?

00:23:31.420 What?

00:23:32.360 So here's what

00:23:33.220 Trump says back

00:23:34.000 to her after

00:23:35.180 all these

00:23:35.600 hoaxes.

00:23:37.040 He says,

00:23:37.520 bird brain has

00:23:38.440 become a crazed

00:23:39.160 lunatic, totally

00:23:40.000 unhinged, and

00:23:41.320 that she's

00:23:41.800 suffering from a

00:23:42.500 terminal disease,

00:23:43.440 Trump derangement

00:23:44.140 syndrome.

00:23:46.220 Well, I don't

00:23:47.160 think she has

00:23:47.660 Trump derangement

00:23:48.460 syndrome because I

00:23:49.820 don't think she

00:23:50.300 believes any of

00:23:51.000 those stories are

00:23:51.720 true.

00:23:52.700 Do you?

00:23:53.720 Do you think she

00:23:54.500 thinks any of those

00:23:55.260 stories are true?

00:23:56.480 But you know who

00:23:57.000 thinks those stories

00:23:57.820 are true?

00:23:58.260 The never

00:24:01.020 Trumpers, maybe,

00:24:02.680 if they even

00:24:03.220 believe it, and

00:24:04.440 Democrats, because

00:24:05.740 they don't have

00:24:06.180 real news.

00:24:07.900 So the Democrats

00:24:08.600 are listening to

00:24:09.860 people like Chris

00:24:12.000 Hayes, and I

00:24:13.780 guess Nikki Haley

00:24:14.500 now, and poor

00:24:16.580 bastards, they just

00:24:17.380 don't have real

00:24:17.860 news.

00:24:18.960 Well, speaking of

00:24:19.660 Trump, he's

00:24:21.020 rumored to be

00:24:21.880 maybe attending

00:24:22.700 the funny

00:24:24.640 Willis hearing,

00:24:25.760 in which she'll

00:24:26.520 be, there's

00:24:28.340 some allegations

00:24:29.560 of misconduct

00:24:30.520 with her

00:24:30.960 boyfriend, hiring

00:24:32.040 him when he

00:24:32.640 wasn't qualified

00:24:33.400 to prosecute

00:24:34.800 Trump, and

00:24:35.480 maybe taking

00:24:36.280 some trips, and

00:24:37.840 having him pay

00:24:39.300 her back for

00:24:40.140 her hiring him,

00:24:42.880 you know, those

00:24:43.540 are the

00:24:43.740 allegations.

00:24:44.840 Anyway, and

00:24:46.940 apparently there's

00:24:47.560 some allegations

00:24:48.480 that she may

00:24:50.440 have lied about

00:24:51.160 the date when

00:24:52.080 the affair

00:24:52.500 started, which

00:24:53.640 would be

00:24:53.860 trouble because

00:24:54.360 it would be

00:24:54.560 lying under

00:24:55.060 oath, and

00:24:56.780 here I'm

00:25:00.560 going to

00:25:00.760 reiterate my

00:25:01.600 suggestion.

00:25:03.460 I feel like

00:25:04.700 you could find

00:25:05.420 at least this

00:25:06.560 much criminal

00:25:07.240 activity by

00:25:08.880 every Soros

00:25:09.920 funded prosecutor.

00:25:11.960 Not the

00:25:12.800 same, it'd be

00:25:13.920 different stuff,

00:25:15.340 but I feel as

00:25:16.300 if you just

00:25:18.600 looked into

00:25:19.300 deeply the

00:25:20.200 activities of

00:25:21.000 any public

00:25:21.680 official whatsoever,

00:25:23.100 you'd find all

00:25:23.920 kinds of

00:25:24.360 stuff, like

00:25:25.660 even the

00:25:25.980 ones you

00:25:26.240 like, there

00:25:27.380 would be

00:25:27.660 something there

00:25:28.560 that you

00:25:29.400 didn't like.

00:25:31.760 And I

00:25:33.640 feel like, I

00:25:34.960 don't know why

00:25:35.600 there is not

00:25:36.240 some billionaire

00:25:36.960 who just

00:25:37.520 says, look, go

00:25:38.820 research every

00:25:39.560 one of these

00:25:39.960 Soros prosecutors,

00:25:41.480 anybody who

00:25:42.060 was funded by

00:25:42.660 Soros, and

00:25:43.660 just find every

00:25:44.460 possible bad

00:25:45.280 thing they've

00:25:45.720 ever done, and

00:25:46.440 just lawfare

00:25:47.260 them out of

00:25:47.720 business.

00:25:48.100 because they

00:25:50.800 are being

00:25:51.180 hired to

00:25:51.720 lawfare

00:25:52.280 Republicans

00:25:52.940 into jail, it

00:25:54.600 would be

00:25:54.900 perfectly fair

00:25:55.700 to lawfare

00:25:56.380 them either

00:25:57.500 into jail or

00:25:58.220 out of the

00:25:58.840 job.

00:26:00.080 And I'd be

00:26:01.700 really disappointed

00:26:02.540 if there's no

00:26:03.520 billionaires willing

00:26:04.380 to fund that,

00:26:05.320 because that's

00:26:06.200 sort of a, I

00:26:07.740 don't know, maybe

00:26:08.060 a $10 million

00:26:08.820 expense that

00:26:10.640 would be

00:26:10.940 necessary to

00:26:11.720 save the

00:26:12.080 entire country.

00:26:13.660 It feels like

00:26:14.340 that would be

00:26:14.660 worth the

00:26:15.060 expense.

00:26:15.500 If I were a

00:26:15.920 billionaire, I'd

00:26:16.440 fund it.

00:26:16.780 There's a

00:26:20.040 story that the

00:26:20.940 Daily Caller

00:26:21.520 says, there's

00:26:22.640 a big decline

00:26:23.580 in recruits

00:26:24.380 for the

00:26:24.700 military, but

00:26:25.580 it's almost

00:26:26.080 entirely of

00:26:27.200 white men.

00:26:30.820 So white

00:26:31.820 people don't

00:26:32.500 want to join

00:26:32.960 the military,

00:26:34.780 but there is

00:26:35.520 an increase

00:26:37.200 in not enough

00:26:38.540 to compensate,

00:26:39.800 but black

00:26:40.220 and Hispanic

00:26:40.660 recruits are

00:26:41.420 more, or

00:26:44.420 joining the

00:26:45.100 military, but

00:26:45.560 not enough to

00:26:46.100 make up for

00:26:46.720 the short

00:26:48.140 fold.

00:26:49.600 Now, does

00:26:50.320 that surprise

00:26:50.800 you?

00:26:51.860 Let me state

00:26:53.080 it directly.

00:26:54.540 When I was

00:26:55.300 a kid, I

00:26:57.460 thought the

00:26:58.020 country was

00:26:58.820 for everybody,

00:26:59.760 and certainly

00:27:00.500 there was

00:27:00.900 discrimination

00:27:01.560 which I

00:27:02.100 opposed.

00:27:03.620 So, you

00:27:04.440 know, I

00:27:04.960 think we

00:27:05.260 get better

00:27:05.700 and better

00:27:06.060 on removing

00:27:07.240 the historic

00:27:08.020 kinds of

00:27:08.520 discrimination.

00:27:09.480 But we

00:27:09.840 ended up

00:27:10.180 just replacing

00:27:10.840 it with

00:27:11.240 anti-white

00:27:11.940 stuff.

00:27:13.340 I don't

00:27:14.040 support a

00:27:14.560 military that's

00:27:15.380 anti-white.

00:27:17.300 I don't

00:27:17.860 support them.

00:27:18.760 And I

00:27:18.980 definitely

00:27:19.280 would not

00:27:19.660 recommend any

00:27:20.300 white person

00:27:20.860 join that

00:27:21.380 military at

00:27:23.240 all.

00:27:25.020 Now, if

00:27:26.460 you were

00:27:26.700 black or

00:27:27.260 Hispanic, I

00:27:27.940 would definitely

00:27:28.380 fight for

00:27:28.840 this country

00:27:29.380 because it's

00:27:30.200 doing a damn

00:27:30.740 good job for

00:27:31.400 you at the

00:27:31.760 moment.

00:27:32.720 It's doing a

00:27:33.180 really good job

00:27:33.740 for you.

00:27:34.120 I would fight

00:27:34.640 for that

00:27:35.000 country if I

00:27:36.280 were you.

00:27:36.580 But no, as

00:27:37.940 a white

00:27:38.180 person, the

00:27:39.080 military has

00:27:40.260 not, let's

00:27:42.400 say, what

00:27:45.120 would you

00:27:45.300 say, presented

00:27:45.880 itself, engaged?

00:27:46.960 No, it

00:27:47.220 hasn't presented

00:27:50.360 itself as

00:27:51.240 something I

00:27:51.780 could support

00:27:52.600 because it

00:27:54.280 appears to be

00:27:55.100 opposed to

00:27:56.100 me.

00:27:57.500 The minimum

00:27:59.400 requirement for

00:28:00.580 fighting is that

00:28:01.400 you're fighting for

00:28:02.000 the people who

00:28:02.440 are on your

00:28:02.780 side.

00:28:04.100 It's very

00:28:04.820 clear that my

00:28:05.440 government has

00:28:06.300 policies, not

00:28:08.420 just opinions,

00:28:09.700 but policies

00:28:10.720 that are

00:28:11.960 anti-me.

00:28:13.420 I'm not going

00:28:14.120 to fight for

00:28:14.540 that.

00:28:16.460 If you at

00:28:17.720 least get rid

00:28:18.220 of DEI and

00:28:19.080 ESG, I'd

00:28:19.980 say, oh,

00:28:20.560 there's a

00:28:21.020 country.

00:28:21.920 There's a

00:28:22.480 country I'm

00:28:22.940 going to

00:28:23.140 support.

00:28:24.280 And I would

00:28:24.940 certainly fight

00:28:25.900 to end any

00:28:26.620 discrimination that

00:28:27.760 was a legacy

00:28:29.240 type discrimination

00:28:30.140 anywhere.

00:28:31.280 Absolutely.

00:28:32.360 I'm on board

00:28:32.900 with that.

00:28:33.760 But at the

00:28:34.240 moment, no, I

00:28:35.100 don't think white

00:28:35.600 people should

00:28:36.160 support the

00:28:36.720 country militarily.

00:28:39.080 I don't think

00:28:39.680 that sacrifice is

00:28:41.860 warranted because

00:28:43.640 you're not

00:28:44.020 fighting for

00:28:44.660 your team.

00:28:46.140 You'd be

00:28:46.780 fighting for

00:28:47.380 somebody else's

00:28:48.100 team, basically.

00:28:50.780 All right.

00:28:51.820 The Daily Show

00:28:52.940 is back with

00:28:53.760 Jon Stewart.

00:28:55.200 And I watched

00:28:56.060 a clip of it

00:28:56.780 wondering if he

00:28:57.720 had lost his

00:28:58.560 magic and whether

00:29:00.100 it would be a

00:29:00.860 sad pro-Democrat

00:29:02.900 thing.

00:29:03.480 and it was

00:29:05.380 actually good.

00:29:07.260 And he

00:29:07.800 actually went

00:29:08.400 directly at

00:29:09.200 Biden's age in

00:29:10.580 a hilarious

00:29:11.080 way, better

00:29:11.920 than anything

00:29:12.320 I've seen.

00:29:13.720 Actually as

00:29:14.760 good or better

00:29:15.280 than any

00:29:15.880 Republican is.

00:29:18.580 Now, he

00:29:19.000 also went

00:29:19.400 after Trump

00:29:20.180 for, you

00:29:20.940 know, all

00:29:21.340 the Trumpy

00:29:21.980 stuff.

00:29:22.800 But I

00:29:24.520 thought it

00:29:24.780 was actually

00:29:25.100 pretty balanced.

00:29:25.840 So, I

00:29:27.400 was all

00:29:27.840 prepared to

00:29:29.240 say, oh,

00:29:30.120 here's another

00:29:30.820 one of those

00:29:32.600 things.

00:29:33.560 I hear you

00:29:34.220 say, don't

00:29:35.140 trust him.

00:29:36.160 Don't trust

00:29:36.720 him.

00:29:37.240 Well, somebody

00:29:39.540 said this to me

00:29:40.260 the other day

00:29:40.860 online.

00:29:42.000 They were

00:29:42.740 mocking me for

00:29:43.920 trusting

00:29:44.720 something.

00:29:47.840 Now, that's

00:29:48.620 really bad

00:29:49.300 mind reading.

00:29:50.420 Do you know

00:29:50.840 who I trust?

00:29:51.720 my family?

00:29:57.360 And that's

00:29:58.360 about it.

00:30:00.300 That's about

00:30:01.100 it.

00:30:01.800 I don't

00:30:02.380 trust anybody

00:30:02.880 in politics.

00:30:04.220 Are you

00:30:04.540 kidding me?

00:30:05.780 In politics?

00:30:06.760 Or business?

00:30:07.760 I don't trust

00:30:08.440 anybody in

00:30:08.980 business or

00:30:09.540 anybody in

00:30:10.020 politics.

00:30:11.420 I don't

00:30:12.020 trust any

00:30:12.500 strangers.

00:30:14.360 Yeah.

00:30:16.520 Yeah, and

00:30:17.440 somebody's giving

00:30:18.420 me a specific

00:30:19.200 name.

00:30:19.740 I'm not going

00:30:20.440 to say who

00:30:20.800 it is.

00:30:21.100 But if you

00:30:22.140 think that

00:30:22.620 because I

00:30:23.120 retweet somebody

00:30:24.200 or tell you

00:30:25.420 you should look

00:30:25.920 at their work

00:30:26.560 on the

00:30:27.040 internet, do

00:30:28.020 you think that

00:30:28.520 means that I

00:30:29.240 believe that

00:30:29.740 everything they

00:30:30.300 say is true

00:30:30.900 and there's

00:30:31.380 no tricks

00:30:31.820 involved and

00:30:32.400 never could

00:30:32.840 be?

00:30:33.800 I would

00:30:34.440 never think

00:30:34.900 that.

00:30:35.860 Never.

00:30:37.300 No.

00:30:37.840 I don't

00:30:38.380 trust anybody

00:30:40.000 except family

00:30:41.440 members.

00:30:43.140 Right?

00:30:44.300 Everybody

00:30:44.820 else has

00:30:47.000 got to

00:30:47.280 prove it.

00:30:49.260 Now, well,

00:30:50.120 I'm seeing

00:30:51.220 some other

00:30:51.640 names go

00:30:52.180 by.

00:30:52.480 People are

00:30:52.820 challenging

00:30:53.220 me.

00:30:53.560 Challenge me.

00:30:54.280 Do you

00:30:54.500 trust this

00:30:55.100 one or

00:30:55.360 don't trust

00:30:55.800 this one?

00:30:56.360 I will

00:30:56.940 say there

00:30:59.320 are people

00:30:59.740 who by

00:31:00.280 their actions

00:31:01.020 are so

00:31:02.860 compatible

00:31:03.360 with my

00:31:04.440 interests that

00:31:06.200 I would trust

00:31:06.780 them to pursue

00:31:07.660 their own best

00:31:08.560 interest, but it

00:31:10.020 happens to be

00:31:10.460 exactly mine.

00:31:12.060 Like there's no

00:31:12.620 difference.

00:31:13.420 So some of the

00:31:13.940 names that just

00:31:14.520 went by, you're

00:31:15.160 saying, well, do you

00:31:15.920 trust this one?

00:31:16.520 Because there are

00:31:17.280 people that I've

00:31:17.880 said good things

00:31:18.520 about and I'm

00:31:19.640 friends with.

00:31:20.900 I could definitely

00:31:21.640 easily be friends

00:31:22.780 with somebody who

00:31:23.520 has the same

00:31:23.980 interests I have and

00:31:25.560 expresses it that

00:31:26.440 way, but that

00:31:27.500 doesn't mean I

00:31:28.040 would trust them

00:31:28.860 in every situation

00:31:29.920 unmentioned and

00:31:31.340 every context.

00:31:34.240 You know, that's

00:31:34.780 just not something

00:31:35.660 that you should do.

00:31:36.880 You shouldn't do

00:31:37.520 it at all.

00:31:39.060 You should always

00:31:40.340 assume that

00:31:42.240 something you

00:31:42.840 don't expect

00:31:43.540 could happen.

00:31:44.400 It's just normal.

00:31:45.060 Yeah, you can

00:31:47.200 list names all

00:31:48.040 day and I'm

00:31:48.620 going to say the

00:31:49.120 same thing.

00:31:50.200 If their interests

00:31:51.120 align with me and

00:31:52.280 they've shown a

00:31:52.840 pattern of it, I'm

00:31:54.200 probably going to be

00:31:54.840 pretty happy about

00:31:55.600 it.

00:31:56.580 It doesn't mean

00:31:57.060 they can't change

00:31:57.700 their minds or be

00:31:59.000 secret agents of

00:32:00.420 the Kremlin that I

00:32:01.520 don't know about.

00:32:02.740 It's possible.

00:32:03.900 So you should start

00:32:04.860 with skepticism.

00:32:05.780 That's just basic.

00:32:08.720 So here's what

00:32:09.680 Jon Stewart said in

00:32:11.880 The Daily Show that

00:32:13.080 I thought was

00:32:13.500 brilliant.

00:32:13.860 I can't do his

00:32:15.260 joke, but I'll just

00:32:16.140 point to it.

00:32:18.940 He showed the

00:32:19.780 clips of all the

00:32:20.740 Democrats who were

00:32:21.620 saying that Biden

00:32:23.400 is sharp and in

00:32:24.720 control and he's

00:32:26.360 like leader and

00:32:27.380 if you're sitting in

00:32:28.680 a meeting with this

00:32:29.420 guy, he's showing

00:32:30.160 all that leadership

00:32:31.000 and he's so

00:32:32.180 sharp.

00:32:33.960 And then Jon

00:32:34.780 Stewart looks at

00:32:35.460 the camera and he

00:32:36.080 says, why don't you

00:32:38.940 show us those videos?

00:32:40.080 Why is it only

00:32:42.700 people talking about

00:32:44.280 him being sharp and

00:32:45.440 leaderly?

00:32:46.620 Why are all the

00:32:47.880 videos that we do

00:32:48.860 have of him not

00:32:50.880 being sharp and not

00:32:51.940 being leaderly, but

00:32:53.000 if he's always

00:32:54.800 sharp and leaderly

00:32:55.740 behind closed doors,

00:32:57.700 wouldn't it be really

00:32:58.520 effective if you could

00:32:59.640 maybe get a video of

00:33:00.680 that and just show us,

00:33:02.040 just maybe show us

00:33:03.220 that sharpness?

00:33:04.680 Now that's good,

00:33:08.440 right?

00:33:09.180 Can you complain about

00:33:10.240 that?

00:33:11.240 Does that sound like,

00:33:12.460 you know, like a

00:33:13.300 Democrat, he's just

00:33:14.780 all a Democrat being

00:33:15.840 a Democrat?

00:33:16.280 It doesn't.

00:33:18.480 I actually think he's

00:33:20.140 going to attempt to

00:33:21.220 play this right down

00:33:21.980 the middle.

00:33:23.280 I think he's going to

00:33:24.320 try.

00:33:25.360 Whether he accomplishes

00:33:26.680 that, we don't know,

00:33:28.400 but it honestly looks

00:33:30.440 like he's going to

00:33:31.980 attempt a down the

00:33:32.980 middle play, which

00:33:33.840 would be fantastic.

00:33:35.320 It would just be

00:33:35.920 fantastic.

00:33:37.140 So I'm going to

00:33:37.680 root for him.

00:33:43.080 Did you notice that

00:33:44.160 Biden is walking more

00:33:45.500 and more like 3CPO?

00:33:49.360 Am I the only one?

00:33:51.160 Do you know how 3CPO

00:33:52.480 from Star Wars walks?

00:33:54.640 I am going to give you

00:33:56.020 my impression of 3CPO,

00:33:58.300 but I want you to look

00:33:59.400 at it and you tell me

00:34:00.320 if it doesn't look

00:34:01.100 exactly like the

00:34:02.740 recent Biden videos.

00:34:04.680 3CPO coming up.

00:34:06.740 Here he goes.

00:34:11.960 3CPO.

00:34:19.200 3CPO.

00:34:20.080 Close?

00:34:30.440 That's pretty close.

00:34:36.320 You know, ever since

00:34:37.420 Gallagher died, I'm sort

00:34:39.320 of the king of physical

00:34:40.360 humor now.

00:34:40.960 So, but yeah, that's

00:34:44.640 nothing to be worried

00:34:45.660 about.

00:34:46.420 However, I do think

00:34:47.680 it's part of a larger

00:34:49.040 plan.

00:34:50.780 See, I think the plan

00:34:52.020 is to replace, to, if

00:34:54.960 they can just keep

00:34:56.220 Biden alive long

00:34:57.980 enough, we're right at

00:35:00.100 the point where you

00:35:01.620 could deep fake him,

00:35:03.980 completely replace him

00:35:05.140 with a deep fake, and

00:35:06.860 then very soon an

00:35:09.140 actual robot.

00:35:09.840 But if you've watched

00:35:12.000 any actual robots, you

00:35:14.000 know, even the good

00:35:14.680 ones, they all sort of

00:35:16.320 walk like 3CPO.

00:35:17.920 So here's, here's my

00:35:19.320 conspiracy theory.

00:35:20.400 I think this is not

00:35:23.680 the way Biden walks

00:35:25.040 naturally.

00:35:26.720 I don't think so.

00:35:28.560 I think he walks like

00:35:29.900 everybody else.

00:35:31.540 I think it's a long-term

00:35:33.280 plan to act more and

00:35:36.240 more like a robot, so

00:35:38.460 when they replace him

00:35:39.600 with a robot in November,

00:35:42.520 it looks just like him.

00:35:45.240 Let me just give you an

00:35:47.120 example, okay?

00:35:48.440 So I'm going to give you

00:35:49.300 another physical example.

00:35:50.400 Imagine if, if, if

00:35:52.740 Biden walked like

00:35:53.660 this.

00:36:00.460 You know?

00:36:01.520 And then you replace

00:36:02.660 him with a robot, and

00:36:03.940 suddenly it's like.

00:36:08.940 Everybody would know

00:36:10.140 that.

00:36:11.100 But, if every day he

00:36:13.860 acts a little bit more

00:36:15.120 like a robot, he can't

00:36:17.480 answer any hard

00:36:18.840 questions.

00:36:20.400 And he doesn't walk

00:36:21.620 regular.

00:36:22.740 It's going to look like

00:36:23.720 this.

00:36:24.080 He's going to go from

00:36:24.860 this to this.

00:36:29.420 And you're going to go,

00:36:31.060 well, it's a little

00:36:31.560 different, but not much

00:36:33.760 different.

00:36:34.660 I think that's the real

00:36:35.820 Biden.

00:36:36.580 Yeah.

00:36:36.680 So, what I think is really

00:36:43.080 missing from the news cycle

00:36:44.680 is a really good conspiracy

00:36:49.000 theory.

00:36:49.500 So, I want to somehow

00:36:52.560 merge this with something

00:36:53.940 with UFOs.

00:36:56.020 You know, maybe it's all

00:36:56.680 part of the UFO human

00:36:59.100 replacement with robots.

00:37:01.400 Something.

00:37:01.760 You know, I'm going to work

00:37:02.760 on a better one, but I do

00:37:05.020 think they're making him

00:37:07.140 walk like that to prime us

00:37:08.480 for their robot replacement.

00:37:11.440 Well, I have a theory.

00:37:15.340 Let's see if you have the

00:37:16.300 same theory.

00:37:18.220 There are two videos that

00:37:19.580 Biden's been in recently.

00:37:20.920 They're packaged, you know,

00:37:22.540 produced videos, not live.

00:37:25.080 One of them was during the

00:37:26.220 Super Bowl where he complained

00:37:27.460 about the snacks are too

00:37:29.280 small and there's

00:37:31.480 shrinkflation.

00:37:34.020 Now, just think about

00:37:35.420 that story.

00:37:36.920 That really happened in

00:37:38.380 the real world.

00:37:40.180 In the real world where

00:37:41.780 we've got wars and

00:37:43.740 every kind of problem,

00:37:46.360 the president of the United

00:37:47.340 States said no to doing

00:37:49.260 an interview, but yes to

00:37:51.240 complaining about his snacks

00:37:52.680 being too small.

00:37:54.440 Then today we see a video

00:37:58.240 in which he shows that he

00:38:00.820 can have a conversation

00:38:02.220 with black people.

00:38:03.860 So he's with a black

00:38:04.820 family.

00:38:05.320 It looks like a father and

00:38:07.180 two teens.

00:38:10.080 And President Biden is

00:38:12.400 eating fried chicken with

00:38:13.740 the black people and

00:38:15.580 talking about basketball.

00:38:18.160 He's eating fried chicken

00:38:19.600 and talking about

00:38:20.280 basketball.

00:38:22.360 Now, I'm not making that

00:38:23.680 up.

00:38:26.360 Now, think about that

00:38:27.480 story and think about

00:38:28.760 the snacks are too

00:38:29.960 small.

00:38:33.020 What do they have in

00:38:34.080 common?

00:38:35.700 What do those two things

00:38:36.900 have in common?

00:38:39.020 I'm going to tell you what

00:38:39.960 they have in common and

00:38:41.120 once you see it, once you

00:38:43.160 see it, you'll never be

00:38:44.200 able to see it another way.

00:38:45.180 What they have in common is

00:38:48.520 they look like they were his

00:38:49.760 ideas.

00:38:53.860 And it looks like the

00:38:55.340 advisers are not trying to

00:38:57.780 protect him anymore.

00:38:59.300 It looks like the advisers are

00:39:01.180 going to let him go with his

00:39:02.400 gut.

00:39:02.720 What would be the best way to

00:39:09.640 get rid of Biden if you were

00:39:11.900 his, if you were on his staff

00:39:13.500 and you knew you had to get

00:39:15.220 rid of him because you just

00:39:16.400 can't win with him, but you

00:39:18.680 can't tell him to leave.

00:39:19.880 You can't go public.

00:39:21.400 How would you get rid of him

00:39:22.840 if you knew you had to, but you

00:39:25.140 can't do it in any like normal

00:39:27.380 way?

00:39:28.720 Here's what I would do.

00:39:31.760 I've got this great idea.

00:39:34.120 Instead of doing an interview

00:39:35.420 for the Super Bowl, which

00:39:37.600 everybody would do, that would

00:39:39.280 show how capable I am and

00:39:41.320 normal, I'm going to do

00:39:42.740 something about snacks are too

00:39:44.520 small that will make me look

00:39:46.260 like a ridiculous idiot and

00:39:48.940 not serious and certainly not up

00:39:50.520 to the job.

00:39:51.640 What do you think, staff?

00:39:54.340 I think that's the best idea

00:39:56.100 you've had all year.

00:39:57.740 Yeah, let's put that together

00:39:59.500 right away.

00:40:01.100 Yeah.

00:40:01.600 Do you have any other good

00:40:02.620 ideas?

00:40:04.240 Yes, I do.

00:40:05.760 I've got an idea.

00:40:06.700 How about, how about I see,

00:40:08.600 show that I can have a

00:40:09.620 conversation with a black

00:40:10.680 family and we'll, we'll eat

00:40:13.800 some fried chicken and talk

00:40:14.820 about basketball.

00:40:17.420 That sounds like a great idea.

00:40:19.720 We'll put that together right

00:40:21.260 away.

00:40:22.300 So here's what I'd like you to

00:40:23.880 look for.

00:40:24.360 Those are two stories that

00:40:26.980 have a lot in common, which

00:40:29.000 is there's no professional

00:40:30.880 political person who would

00:40:32.360 have allowed these things to

00:40:33.680 happen.

00:40:35.120 No professional political

00:40:37.200 person would allow these

00:40:39.460 things to happen unless they

00:40:42.460 decided he's not their guy.

00:40:45.720 Unless they already knew who

00:40:47.720 the replacement would be.

00:40:49.320 unless they didn't even care

00:40:51.880 who the replacement would be.

00:40:53.220 It just had to be anybody but

00:40:54.740 him.

00:40:57.160 Could you imagine the moral

00:40:59.100 ethical dilemma that's going on

00:41:00.940 right now among his closest

00:41:02.880 staff?

00:41:05.560 Imagine having to answer to

00:41:07.500 history's judgment when you've

00:41:10.220 seen what he's really like behind

00:41:12.140 closed doors.

00:41:13.080 closed doors and you know

00:41:14.740 that everyone else knows

00:41:17.060 that you know what's happening

00:41:19.500 behind closed doors.

00:41:21.080 We will find out what was

00:41:22.980 happening, right?

00:41:24.160 That's the kind of story that's

00:41:25.580 guaranteed, you know, after

00:41:27.000 Biden passes, there will be

00:41:29.200 tons of books saying, oh, you

00:41:30.940 can't believe how bad it was.

00:41:32.800 I mean, we were changing his

00:41:34.020 diaper.

00:41:34.840 You know, it's going to be all

00:41:35.580 that stuff.

00:41:36.520 Like, literally, it's going to be

00:41:37.600 that stuff.

00:41:38.040 And all those people are going

00:41:40.920 to have to explain why they let

00:41:43.200 the country be at such risk and

00:41:45.680 they didn't whistleblow.

00:41:47.300 Now, obviously, they don't want

00:41:49.060 to lose their jobs, so it's

00:41:50.400 obvious why.

00:41:51.660 But that's a lot to ask of

00:41:53.920 people.

00:41:55.180 So there's got to be this ethical,

00:41:58.920 moral emergency, like a crisis

00:42:02.320 is happening within each

00:42:03.680 individual because there's no way

00:42:05.500 they don't know what they're

00:42:07.240 doing and what's going on,

00:42:09.060 right?

00:42:09.280 They may still prefer not having

00:42:11.580 a Republican in charge.

00:42:12.800 I get that.

00:42:14.260 But there's a real moral

00:42:16.600 ethical problem that they have

00:42:18.400 to deal with.

00:42:19.180 And I think that the way humans

00:42:20.800 are, the way they would deal

00:42:22.680 with that is by not dealing

00:42:24.120 with it and simply letting him

00:42:25.640 decompose in front of us.

00:42:28.840 It looks very much like the

00:42:32.460 David Axelrods, who clearly

00:42:35.480 don't want to be associated

00:42:36.620 with his next run, are trying

00:42:39.460 to find a way to let him kill

00:42:41.080 him, you know, basically

00:42:42.100 politically suicide him, just

00:42:44.900 let him do his thing until it's

00:42:46.260 just so embarrassing.

00:42:47.940 The outcome is obvious.

00:42:49.700 So it looks to me like they're

00:42:51.100 going to embrace and amplify.

00:42:52.960 Embrace meaning instead of

00:42:54.400 protecting Biden, they're going

00:42:55.600 to let Biden be Biden and watch

00:42:58.040 him destroy himself in front of

00:42:59.520 the public because probably by now

00:43:02.540 they've tried to advise him and got

00:43:04.460 dementia anger.

00:43:07.000 You want to make a bet on this one?

00:43:09.380 Here's the easiest thing you could

00:43:10.980 predict.

00:43:12.220 By now, well-meaning people who love

00:43:15.540 Joe Biden, genuinely love him,

00:43:18.000 have tried to talk him out of running.

00:43:20.580 Would you agree?

00:43:21.940 By now, the people who really care

00:43:24.320 about him have tried to talk about

00:43:25.920 him running.

00:43:26.400 And that would include family, I'm

00:43:27.880 sure, as well as staff.

00:43:30.220 What do you think he said to the

00:43:31.420 staff?

00:43:32.680 Now, to the family, he was

00:43:33.720 probably, you know, had a family

00:43:35.500 kind of reaction.

00:43:36.580 But what do you think he would say

00:43:37.380 to the staff who questioned his

00:43:39.580 capability?

00:43:41.780 Dementia anger.

00:43:44.140 And how many times would you put up

00:43:46.500 with dementia, anger, dressing down

00:43:49.760 in your job before you decide to

00:43:52.460 take him out of office?

00:43:54.640 For me, it would be once.

00:43:55.820 If that happened to me once, and he

00:44:01.240 disrespected me, it doesn't matter

00:44:03.120 if he's the president.

00:44:04.580 If he disrespected me that way, even

00:44:08.020 once, let's say yelling at me in front

00:44:10.640 of a room full of people, I would

00:44:14.100 probably do whatever I could to legally

00:44:16.020 take him out of the office.

00:44:18.680 That would be personal.

00:44:20.640 I would take that very personally, and

00:44:23.200 I would act accordingly.

00:44:24.160 It looks like there are people who are

00:44:26.320 just personally bothered and are taking

00:44:29.100 it down on them personally.

00:44:30.980 Because letting them do these things,

00:44:32.900 that snack commercial, that looked

00:44:35.120 personal, as well as political.

00:44:38.500 But it looks like actual hate.

00:44:40.560 You know when you hear about a murder,

00:44:43.720 and if somebody gets shot once in the

00:44:46.140 head, and maybe once in the chest, what

00:44:49.380 do you say about it?

00:44:50.120 Oh, it's a professional.

00:44:51.580 Professional job.

00:44:52.400 They just basically got the job done

00:44:54.440 quickly.

00:44:55.460 Two taps.

00:44:57.060 But what happens if you see somebody

00:44:58.680 who's been stabbed 150 times?

00:45:01.640 You always say that's personal.

00:45:04.340 Right?

00:45:04.700 Or insanity, but usually personal.

00:45:08.660 When you see that Biden was allowed to do

00:45:11.200 the snacks are too small commercial,

00:45:13.340 that looks personal, doesn't it?

00:45:18.000 That looks a little bit more like the 115

00:45:20.780 stab wounds situation.

00:45:23.160 There's no way you'd let him do this if

00:45:25.300 you still cared about him.

00:45:27.880 This is people letting him go, in my opinion.

00:45:33.340 All right.

00:45:33.720 So some Republican folks in the House

00:45:38.460 committees are trying to get a hold of the

00:45:40.900 videos or audios in which Biden talked to the

00:45:44.200 special counsel, Robert Herr.

00:45:46.980 Because as you know, Robert Herr, in his

00:45:49.200 report, characterized Biden as not being, let's

00:45:52.900 say, mentally 100% there.

00:45:56.160 And so Republicans are saying, maybe we should see

00:45:59.440 this video or hear this audio, to which I say, yes,

00:46:05.520 maybe you should.

00:46:06.640 I don't know the legality of it, though.

00:46:08.580 What right would the Republican-led House

00:46:12.500 committee have to that information?

00:46:15.500 Is that public?

00:46:17.160 Like, what would make them have access to that?

00:46:21.900 Can they just ask for it?

00:46:23.240 And they can just ask for oversight.

00:46:27.280 Oversight of what, though?

00:46:29.880 What would the oversight be of?

00:46:31.880 Because they don't have oversight of the special

00:46:34.760 counsel, right?

00:46:36.720 Isn't the whole point of the special counsel is

00:46:38.820 that the Congress can't stop what he's doing?

00:46:43.980 Hmm.

00:46:45.020 DOJ?

00:46:47.000 Yeah.

00:46:47.760 All right.

00:46:48.080 Well, I'm assuming that they have some legal

00:46:50.260 standing there.

00:46:51.780 I just don't know what it is.

00:46:55.400 All right.

00:46:56.160 Joe Biden said costs have fallen from everything,

00:47:00.320 from a gallon of gas to a gallon of milk.

00:47:02.880 Is that true?

00:47:04.380 Costs have fallen for everything,

00:47:07.080 from a gallon of gas to a gallon of milk.

00:47:10.920 No, that's true.

00:47:11.800 It's completely true.

00:47:14.120 What are you talking about?

00:47:16.880 It's 100% true.

00:47:20.820 It just depends what time point you start measuring, right?

00:47:24.780 It is probably true that at one point,

00:47:27.140 milk was higher than today,

00:47:28.400 and at one point, gas was higher than today.

00:47:30.460 But as the RNC research says,

00:47:39.280 they say he's lying.

00:47:40.520 They say overall costs are up 17.3% under Biden,

00:47:44.820 while gas prices remain 30% higher or so

00:47:47.900 than when he took office.

00:47:50.860 Well, both of those things are true,

00:47:52.820 and they can both be true.

00:47:55.880 It can be true that they came down a little from their high.

00:47:58.560 It can be true that they're still way higher

00:48:00.200 than when he took office.

00:48:02.420 So why does Biden just get in front of people

00:48:06.120 and say something so out of context and misleading?

00:48:09.600 Well, it's because his people still think the news is real.

00:48:14.720 When CNN covers this,

00:48:17.680 are they going to fact check him?

00:48:21.920 Maybe, you know, if they're done with him.

00:48:24.600 But I doubt it.

00:48:26.500 I think they'll just ignore it.

00:48:29.020 Yeah.

00:48:29.780 Now, to be fair,

00:48:31.800 would Trump ever make a claim like this?

00:48:34.460 And I mean in the very general sense like this.

00:48:37.100 Would Trump ever claim that something's doing well

00:48:40.260 if there were some other context

00:48:42.500 which would make it not look like it's doing so well?

00:48:45.080 Yeah, of course he would.

00:48:46.700 All the politicians seem to do that.

00:48:49.020 It's kind of universal.

00:48:50.600 So that part doesn't surprise me.

00:48:52.100 The only thing I'm talking about is the fact-checkers,

00:48:54.860 the fact that he can just say that kind of stuff

00:48:56.780 and it won't be fact-checked.

00:48:58.060 Do you think if Trump said this,

00:48:59.400 it wouldn't be fact-checked to death?

00:49:00.800 Of course it would.

00:49:02.140 Of course it would.

00:49:05.040 But it looks like only the Republican social media people

00:49:08.140 are going to see the fact-check on that one.

00:49:09.700 Here's the most predictable thing in the world.

00:49:14.340 If you haven't heard the news,

00:49:15.720 I'd like to see if you can predict.

00:49:18.260 All right.

00:49:18.620 This is only for the people

00:49:19.620 who haven't heard the news already.

00:49:22.480 Biden is going to have an upcoming physical exam

00:49:25.260 and you must answer the question,

00:49:27.740 will the physical exam include a cognitive test?

00:49:31.100 Go.

00:49:34.720 Whoa, you're good.

00:49:36.820 Whoa.

00:49:38.000 I can't believe how well you can predict.

00:49:41.380 Impressive, people.

00:49:42.440 You're so impressive.

00:49:43.480 No, surprisingly,

00:49:45.400 despite the fact that the cognitive exam

00:49:49.080 is the one we care about the most,

00:49:51.000 they just won't do that.

00:49:55.440 No, unnecessary.

00:49:56.980 Do you know why it's unnecessary?

00:49:59.780 Because if you were in the room with him,

00:50:03.020 you would see him with all his sharpness

00:50:05.240 and his leadership

00:50:06.020 and his memory is,

00:50:07.700 oh, his memory is so good.

00:50:09.900 Now, they probably won't get that on video.

00:50:13.680 You know, for some reason,

00:50:14.800 they just always forget to turn on the video

00:50:18.200 when he's being all leaderly and sharp.

00:50:21.760 So, I mean, only because of chance

00:50:24.760 and, you know, neglect

00:50:26.940 will you not have a good video

00:50:28.420 of him being all sharp and leaderly.

00:50:30.580 But I guess that's why

00:50:33.680 they don't need that cognitive test.

00:50:37.120 Now, I've got some questions.

00:50:41.940 Who does the White House doctor work for?

00:50:46.100 I mean, I actually don't know.

00:50:48.080 Does the White House doctor

00:50:49.300 have only one responsibility,

00:50:51.460 which is to the patient?

00:50:54.460 Does the White House doctor

00:50:55.860 not have responsibility to the country?

00:51:01.720 Because, you know,

00:51:02.460 if you go to your personal doctor,

00:51:04.060 you do not expect your personal doctor

00:51:06.740 to favor America over your health.

00:51:11.220 My doctor better care about my health

00:51:15.740 more than everything else.

00:51:18.240 Better, or else I need a new doctor.

00:51:20.900 But is the White House doctor

00:51:22.120 a political animal,

00:51:23.980 a personal doctor,

00:51:26.260 or does that doctor work for us?

00:51:29.520 Do you know?

00:51:31.380 I'm looking at the...

00:51:33.160 Yeah, I get that there's patient privilege,

00:51:35.620 but the whole point of a president

00:51:38.380 doing a physical exam

00:51:39.780 is to make it public.

00:51:41.460 That's the point of it.

00:51:46.840 So, how do we explain

00:51:48.580 the White House doctor,

00:51:50.060 and is there any oversight

00:51:51.740 that the Congress has?

00:51:54.120 Can Congress call the White House doctor in

00:51:56.580 and ask the White House doctor

00:51:58.080 to explain,

00:51:59.540 how do you let this go on?

00:52:01.080 Can they?

00:52:04.220 Now, I've been told

00:52:05.280 that the 25th Amendment

00:52:06.520 has no chance,

00:52:09.120 no matter how bad Biden is.

00:52:12.060 Have you heard the same?

00:52:13.640 Because you would have to get

00:52:14.640 so many people to vote for it,

00:52:16.980 almost no chance.

00:52:20.760 Yeah.

00:52:21.440 So, apparently,

00:52:22.080 just having a bad memory

00:52:23.300 isn't going to come anywhere

00:52:25.060 near the standard.

00:52:27.020 You'd have to be, actually,

00:52:28.280 just a blithering idiot

00:52:30.600 brain dead, basically.

00:52:33.820 So, just being,

00:52:35.060 not being good at your job

00:52:37.060 comes nowhere near the standard

00:52:39.580 for a mental disability,

00:52:42.280 which is weird.

00:52:44.300 But it probably has to be that way,

00:52:45.800 because otherwise,

00:52:46.320 everybody would call the president crazy

00:52:47.900 and kick him out of office.

00:52:51.940 And I'll say again,

00:52:53.440 I do not want Biden removed from office,

00:52:55.860 because I would love to watch him

00:52:58.040 go all the way to the election

00:52:59.600 and watch the Democrats

00:53:01.420 lose in a way that they can see

00:53:04.320 coming for two years.

00:53:07.580 Yeah.

00:53:08.180 And he should get an MRI of his brain.

00:53:10.200 Absolutely.

00:53:12.020 All right.

00:53:12.400 Here's a story from the libs of TikTok

00:53:14.440 and others are reporting.

00:53:15.740 A surprising number of shooters,

00:53:19.300 mass shooters lately,

00:53:20.520 are trans or non-binary.

00:53:23.460 Now,

00:53:24.500 I hate these stories.

00:53:28.900 And as you know,

00:53:29.900 I don't usually cover them.

00:53:31.940 So, I don't cover the mass shooting stories,

00:53:34.120 because I don't like to encourage them.

00:53:36.300 And they're all the same.

00:53:37.640 And I normally don't talk too much

00:53:40.880 about trans stuff.

00:53:43.940 It's just not my beat.

00:53:46.080 And it's such a yucky topic.

00:53:49.220 It's like a hate-filled topic

00:53:51.060 anywhere you want.

00:53:52.000 You can't really get into the topic

00:53:53.520 without being slimed by the topic,

00:53:56.140 no matter what your opinion is.

00:53:57.780 So, I kind of stay away from it.

00:53:59.600 But here's the list.

00:54:01.900 So, according to the libs of TikTok,

00:54:03.840 the Colorado Spring shooter was non-binary.

00:54:06.620 Nashville School shooter, trans.

00:54:08.720 Aberdeen shooter, trans.

00:54:12.640 Denver shooter, trans.

00:54:14.720 Iowa School shooter, trans.

00:54:16.900 Gender fluid.

00:54:17.720 Lakewood Church shooter, trans.

00:54:20.800 Are those all true?

00:54:23.340 Is that true?

00:54:26.160 Yeah.

00:54:26.880 Now, is that unexpected?

00:54:29.660 Is it unexpected?

00:54:32.900 I'm assuming every one of these trans

00:54:35.640 were born biologically male.

00:54:40.160 Were any of them born female?

00:54:44.060 I don't think so.

00:54:46.900 So, does it surprise you

00:54:52.620 that a group who were in the category of trans

00:54:59.480 would also have related

00:55:02.020 or even unrelated mental problems?

00:55:05.540 That's not surprising, is it?

00:55:08.040 If you took any group of people

00:55:09.700 who had known mental problems,

00:55:11.980 wouldn't you expect more violent crime?

00:55:19.220 That seems somewhat expectable.

00:55:20.980 Now, let me say as clearly as possible

00:55:23.100 before I'm taking it out of context,

00:55:24.800 I don't think that all trans

00:55:26.760 or non-binary people have mental illness.

00:55:29.900 I just think that the trans community

00:55:31.820 has more mental illness than most communities.

00:55:37.040 Most.

00:55:38.300 Right.

00:55:38.580 I don't think there's anything

00:55:39.580 that would be even comparable, really.

00:55:42.640 So, it shouldn't surprise you

00:55:45.020 that people who have a known high level

00:55:47.480 of mental illness

00:55:48.540 would, that would express itself in other ways.

00:55:54.040 But there does seem to be something weird going on.

00:55:56.860 Like, even that alone doesn't seem to explain it.

00:55:59.240 Thomas Massey responded to the list and said,

00:56:04.420 we should know which government-approved drugs

00:56:06.040 they were on.

00:56:07.760 Yes, we should.

00:56:09.440 We should know what government-approved drugs they're on.

00:56:12.640 But there, too, you have to be careful, don't you?

00:56:15.840 Because wouldn't you expect

00:56:17.160 that the people who are taking drugs for depression

00:56:22.720 or whatever it is,

00:56:24.320 that they might also have, you know,

00:56:27.240 other mental issues

00:56:29.680 that would be acted out in other ways.

00:56:32.180 So, I don't know if it would show you

00:56:33.820 that the drug is causing it

00:56:35.660 or would it show you

00:56:36.660 that people who have mental problems

00:56:38.000 are more likely to take drugs.

00:56:40.280 It could work either way.

00:56:42.300 So, you'd have to be careful with that data.

00:56:44.780 But I would definitely like to know what it says.

00:56:47.580 I just wouldn't take it at face value.

00:56:49.460 You'd have to dig a little deeper.

00:56:53.240 Oh, I'm seeing...

00:56:54.460 So, somebody's fact-checking me.

00:56:58.080 Several of the trigger pullers were born female.

00:57:02.720 They were born female

00:57:03.900 and they transitioned to male.

00:57:06.980 Is that right?

00:57:08.820 Were they all...

00:57:10.900 Were some of them presenting as male?

00:57:16.320 Were some of them presenting as female when they shot?

00:57:19.120 Okay, so we don't have a biological correlation.

00:57:26.520 I'm seeing the fact-checking.

00:57:28.500 You know, that's why I like doing this live.

00:57:32.000 That's an advantage you really can't get

00:57:33.680 in a recorded show, can you?

00:57:35.580 Getting fact-checked in real time.

00:57:37.580 And that was a good fact-check.

00:57:39.180 That was actually a really useful fact-check.

00:57:42.100 So, no, they're not all biologically born male.

00:57:45.980 All right, next story.

00:57:46.800 Anyway, UCSF had a speaker, Dante King,

00:57:53.860 who said the U.S. is racist.

00:57:55.820 No surprise there.

00:57:57.240 Says that there's a white rape culture.

00:58:00.700 What?

00:58:02.940 And he said that...

00:58:05.420 He said that white...

00:58:10.020 What?

00:58:13.020 He said that whites are psychopaths.

00:58:14.800 He said whites are psychopaths,

00:58:17.800 and their behavior represents an underlying

00:58:20.080 biologically transmitted proclivity

00:58:23.160 with roots deep in their evolutionary history.

00:58:28.500 So that was a speaker that the UCSF allowed in

00:58:32.780 to say his thing.

00:58:35.340 Now, I think he should be allowed to speak.

00:58:39.120 Absolutely.

00:58:39.680 But is there any other opinions that they're banning?

00:58:45.740 Yeah.

00:58:47.000 Yeah.

00:58:47.800 So apparently it's okay to say that white people suck,

00:58:51.260 but you wouldn't be able to do, you know,

00:58:53.160 any other group that way, obviously.

00:58:56.220 Matt Walsh is talking about that pro-Jesus commercial

00:59:00.460 on the Super Bowl,

00:59:02.340 the one that showed a whole bunch of people

00:59:04.260 having their feet washed.

00:59:05.440 So it was just a whole bunch of...

00:59:07.600 It looked like AI-generated pictures

00:59:09.740 of people washing the feet of other people.

00:59:12.460 And Matt Walsh pointed out

00:59:13.680 what I noticed immediately as well.

00:59:16.300 It was only white people

00:59:17.560 washing the feet of non-white people.

00:59:20.220 Now, there might have been an exception,

00:59:21.580 but that's mostly what it was.

00:59:23.000 It was a whole bunch of examples.

00:59:26.060 That was probably the most disgusting

00:59:27.700 and useless commercial I've ever seen.

00:59:29.860 You know what I don't want to see

00:59:32.600 is more than one example

00:59:35.020 of somebody washing somebody else's feet.

00:59:39.220 Now, I get that Jesus did it exactly one time,

00:59:42.780 and it was a special case.

00:59:45.340 You know, it wasn't like he went around

00:59:46.400 washing feet all day.

00:59:48.260 So everything about that commercial was wrong,

00:59:51.560 but when you watch the racial dimension of it,

00:59:56.260 which I'm sure was not a message

00:59:59.740 that the creators of the commercial

01:00:01.120 were trying to send,

01:00:02.820 it's just that they couldn't do it not that way.

01:00:06.240 Like, if you showed even one scene

01:00:08.100 where that was reversed,

01:00:10.320 they would be in all kinds of trouble.

01:00:12.180 Even if six of them went one way

01:00:13.780 and one of them went the other way,

01:00:15.040 they'd still be in trouble.

01:00:16.600 So it's more of a sign of the times

01:00:18.420 than a sign that the people

01:00:19.540 who put the commercial together are bad people.

01:00:21.800 They're probably good people,

01:00:22.880 but boy, is that a terrible commercial.

01:00:24.500 What a waste of money.

01:00:26.260 So I guess a number of Republicans

01:00:30.220 have voted to break a Senate filibuster

01:00:35.740 to push forward toward a vote

01:00:39.080 on the $95 billion foreign aid package

01:00:41.520 for Ukraine and, I guess, Taiwan and Israel.

01:00:45.960 I think that's all in there.

01:00:48.240 So here's what you need to know.

01:00:50.940 These are the names of the Republicans

01:00:52.520 who voted to get it out of the filibuster.

01:00:55.640 Now, we think it's dead on arrival in the House,

01:00:59.760 at the very least,

01:01:01.740 but shouldn't you know the names

01:01:04.980 of everybody who was in favor of this?

01:01:07.440 You should hear their names.

01:01:09.060 So I'm just going to read you their last names.

01:01:11.200 So if you hear these names in other contexts,

01:01:13.780 you might say to yourself,

01:01:15.700 hey, is there any pattern that's developing here?

01:01:17.860 So the Republicans who voted to move that bill along

01:01:22.420 would be Capito,

01:01:24.320 Cassidy,

01:01:25.420 Collins,

01:01:26.600 Ernst,

01:01:27.700 Grassley,

01:01:29.200 Kennedy,

01:01:30.280 surprisingly,

01:01:31.680 McConnell,

01:01:34.420 Moran,

01:01:35.440 Murkowski,

01:01:36.960 Romney,

01:01:38.580 Rounds,

01:01:40.020 Sullivan,

01:01:41.340 Thun,

01:01:41.920 T-H-U-N,

01:01:43.680 is that right?

01:01:44.420 Thun, it's Thun, right?

01:01:46.320 H is silent.

01:01:48.460 Tillis,

01:01:49.580 Wicker,

01:01:50.420 Young,

01:01:50.880 and Cornyn.

01:01:52.940 So I just want you to hear those names.

01:01:55.400 Because there's a lot going on in this country

01:01:57.840 that we don't understand.

01:02:00.580 And you have to know the players

01:02:02.280 to have any chance

01:02:03.480 of figuring out what's going on.

01:02:05.380 So the H is not silent.

01:02:08.680 So he's Thun,

01:02:09.600 not Thun.

01:02:11.640 Senator Thun,

01:02:13.160 I'm told.

01:02:14.100 See?

01:02:14.580 It worked again.

01:02:15.360 Fact-checked in real time.

01:02:21.060 But I don't really understand

01:02:22.960 why there would be so many people

01:02:26.300 in favor of this.

01:02:27.180 And I was listening to the explanation

01:02:31.080 of Senator Tillis.

01:02:34.660 And Senator Tillis, Republican,

01:02:37.720 says that it's an important vote

01:02:39.620 to give this money to Ukraine especially

01:02:41.940 because if we don't,

01:02:43.700 it will embolden our enemies.

01:02:46.680 It will embolden our enemies.

01:02:48.960 What does that sound like?

01:02:51.640 You know what that sounds like?

01:02:53.020 It sounds like this.

01:02:57.560 Scott, could you leave your cubicle

01:03:01.680 and could you put together a presentation

01:03:04.160 that makes it look like it's a good idea

01:03:07.500 to do this thing

01:03:08.520 that's obviously not a good idea?

01:03:11.020 And I say,

01:03:12.180 well, how am I going to make a PowerPoint slideshow

01:03:14.540 that says a bad idea is a good idea?

01:03:17.020 Well, you can do it.

01:03:17.980 I'm sure you can do it.

01:03:19.300 And I'll be like,

01:03:20.400 okay.

01:03:20.760 Well, I can't rely on any facts

01:03:23.140 because the facts would show it's a bad idea.

01:03:26.660 So I'm going to need something

01:03:27.780 a little more conceptual.

01:03:30.980 Maybe something that's a little bit hard to prove.

01:03:34.400 Maybe something that has no facts

01:03:36.060 behind it whatsoever.

01:03:37.680 Maybe something totally speculative

01:03:39.820 like if we don't do this,

01:03:44.680 it might embolden our competitors.

01:03:46.480 Now, if you were in the corporate world

01:03:51.680 and somebody gave you some bullshit like that,

01:03:54.280 it's going to embolden somebody.

01:03:57.080 But that's it.

01:03:58.580 That was the whole argument.

01:03:59.940 It's going to embolden somebody

01:04:01.080 you don't like to be emboldened.

01:04:03.260 Would you feel that's good enough?

01:04:06.540 Like if it's the real world

01:04:08.140 and you're making the decision?

01:04:10.260 No.

01:04:11.540 A phrase like it will embolden your enemies

01:04:14.220 is what you say

01:04:15.620 when you don't have an argument.

01:04:18.280 Do you know what you say

01:04:19.280 when you have an argument?

01:04:22.080 Other stuff.

01:04:24.240 Other stuff.

01:04:25.460 You say stuff like,

01:04:26.860 I think we can win this war

01:04:28.920 and Putin will be crushed

01:04:31.660 and there'll be some,

01:04:32.600 I don't know,

01:04:32.940 big advantage to us.

01:04:33.940 Now, you could agree with it

01:04:37.340 or disagree with it,

01:04:38.720 but it would sound like

01:04:39.700 somebody saying a realish reason.

01:04:42.760 Or you could say,

01:04:44.640 this is a real cheap way

01:04:46.440 to not have to build up our military

01:04:48.800 because it will degrade Russia

01:04:50.300 or something.

01:04:52.960 But you could disagree with that.

01:04:55.200 But it would sound like a real reason.

01:04:57.400 But does this embolden Russia and China

01:05:00.300 sound real to you?

01:05:01.380 Embolden them to do what exactly?

01:05:05.740 Is China going to say,

01:05:07.280 it looks like we've got

01:05:08.180 a free pass on Taiwan?

01:05:11.340 Do you think they're thinking that?

01:05:13.660 What exactly are they emboldened to do?

01:05:17.120 Is Russia now going to take over

01:05:19.200 some other countries?

01:05:21.000 They're going to take over Poland?

01:05:23.200 Does that seem likely?

01:05:26.220 Is there any indication

01:05:27.560 that they would ever take over a,

01:05:29.260 or try to take over a NATO country?

01:05:33.620 I don't feel like it.

01:05:36.260 I don't know.

01:05:37.300 You're going to have to do better

01:05:38.300 than embolden our enemies.

01:05:40.400 Because I think our enemies

01:05:41.640 are emboldened all the time.

01:05:44.460 And correct me if I'm wrong,

01:05:46.260 the longer we fund this war,

01:05:48.260 the closer Russia and China

01:05:49.960 get to each other.

01:05:50.800 So is that better or worse

01:05:54.100 than emboldening them?

01:05:55.760 Which would you rather have?

01:05:58.780 Emboldened?

01:06:00.140 Do you want to embolden them

01:06:01.700 or do you want to drive them together?

01:06:04.920 I feel like both of those are bad.

01:06:07.360 But in such a general way

01:06:08.940 that it doesn't seem like

01:06:09.960 I should pay attention to it.

01:06:12.140 It's too generic.

01:06:13.880 You're going to have to give me

01:06:14.840 something that's not just

01:06:15.780 a generic thing you can say

01:06:17.080 about every situation, right?

01:06:20.520 How about using the same logic

01:06:22.220 for, I don't know,

01:06:24.000 every other issue?

01:06:25.120 You don't want to embolden

01:06:25.960 the wrong people.

01:06:28.020 So let's see.

01:06:30.200 What did Mitt Romney say?

01:06:31.340 It's the most important vote

01:06:32.520 we'll ever take at the U.S. Senators.

01:06:35.200 How could that possibly be true?

01:06:37.840 The most important vote.

01:06:40.300 Really?

01:06:42.380 I mean, I'm not even going to

01:06:44.080 give an argument against it.

01:06:45.660 It's like, this is the one

01:06:47.220 you'd pick out as the most important.

01:06:49.220 Because what would be

01:06:50.080 the alternative?

01:06:51.080 I think if you don't vote for it,

01:06:53.260 Ukraine and Russia make peace.

01:06:56.760 Would that be the outcome?

01:06:58.740 Wouldn't Zelensky have to make peace?

01:07:01.540 And if he tried,

01:07:03.380 do you think that Putin would say,

01:07:05.060 no, you have to give us

01:07:06.460 the rest of Ukraine?

01:07:08.800 Would he?

01:07:11.600 I don't think he would.

01:07:13.000 I think he'd say,

01:07:14.000 well, we'll keep what we have,

01:07:15.180 which was going to happen anyway.

01:07:17.300 So I feel like it's

01:07:19.580 the least important thing

01:07:20.760 they would ever vote on,

01:07:22.280 except that it costs money

01:07:23.520 and would drive us closer

01:07:26.480 to nuclear war.

01:07:30.400 Let's see what Elon Musk says

01:07:32.240 about this, the funding.

01:07:34.580 He says,

01:07:35.120 there's been no change

01:07:36.000 in the Russia-Ukraine border

01:07:37.200 for a year,

01:07:37.860 just lots of dead kids.

01:07:39.500 What kind of psycho

01:07:40.400 wants to continue?

01:07:42.020 It's getting harder

01:07:42.720 to do things.

01:07:43.940 Well, no, this is me.

01:07:44.920 That's not.

01:07:47.760 So let me also give you

01:07:48.940 an opinion from the

01:07:50.000 All In podcast.

01:07:51.800 Now, you know the

01:07:52.460 All In podcast?

01:07:53.900 Everybody's familiar with it?

01:07:55.620 So it's like David Sachs

01:07:57.100 and several others

01:07:59.560 whose names don't come

01:08:00.960 to me at the moment.

01:08:02.860 Chamath and Jason.

01:08:11.700 We're better on first names.

01:08:14.380 And David Friedberg.

01:08:15.840 Right.

01:08:15.960 So it seems to me

01:08:19.340 that the All In podcast

01:08:20.900 has, whether they intended it

01:08:22.840 or not,

01:08:24.180 they have formed something

01:08:25.380 like a national advisory committee.

01:08:28.540 Now, nobody would call them that,

01:08:30.620 and they wouldn't call themselves that.

01:08:32.740 But here's the phenomenon

01:08:35.080 that I see forming.

01:08:37.760 It will get harder and harder

01:08:39.460 for our government to do things

01:08:41.400 that the smartest people

01:08:43.200 think are stupid.

01:08:44.080 Now, Elon Musk, you know,

01:08:47.640 does that by himself.

01:08:49.700 How would you like to be doing something

01:08:51.500 that Elon Musk calls out

01:08:53.280 in public as stupid?

01:08:55.580 It's hard, isn't it?

01:08:57.420 Because everything about Musk

01:08:59.940 suggests he's only about what works.

01:09:03.200 There's nothing about him

01:09:04.480 that suggests he's political

01:09:05.660 in any traditional way.

01:09:07.740 He's entirely about what works.

01:09:10.320 And he might be among

01:09:12.280 the best people on the planet

01:09:14.160 for being able to predict

01:09:16.980 what will work.

01:09:18.720 I mean, look at his track record.

01:09:20.600 Well, he even predicted

01:09:21.980 his own companies wouldn't work,

01:09:24.280 but he made them work anyway.

01:09:25.540 So I'm not sure how you score that.

01:09:27.700 But my point is

01:09:28.500 that when the smartest people

01:09:30.060 say something's a bad idea,

01:09:32.900 that is a lot of pressure

01:09:34.180 on that idea.

01:09:35.660 And the All In podcast,

01:09:37.620 I think,

01:09:38.060 is becoming the strongest.

01:09:39.660 It's not there yet,

01:09:41.040 but it's heading in the direction

01:09:42.400 of being the strongest force

01:09:43.940 for common sense.

01:09:47.360 Because when you see

01:09:48.560 four people who are

01:09:50.140 arguably four of the smartest people

01:09:52.740 you'll ever see

01:09:53.400 have a conversation,

01:09:54.800 and they have a strong opinion

01:09:56.640 and it's all in the same direction,

01:09:58.440 nobody disagrees

01:09:59.380 among the four of them or so,

01:10:01.420 that's pretty strong.

01:10:03.980 And it's creating

01:10:04.840 this sort of counterforce

01:10:06.360 that is not big enough

01:10:08.320 to be like a national story yet,

01:10:10.180 but you can't miss it.

01:10:12.280 Let me ask you this.

01:10:13.600 Is there anybody in your life

01:10:15.060 who, if you saw

01:10:16.920 they had an opposite opinion

01:10:18.620 of the one you were starting to form,

01:10:21.160 they would immediately pause

01:10:23.200 and say,

01:10:23.660 oh, uh-oh,

01:10:25.200 I better find out

01:10:25.920 why this opinion is not there?

01:10:27.680 I do.

01:10:28.660 For example,

01:10:29.240 if I have a legal opinion

01:10:30.320 and I see Alan Dershowitz,

01:10:32.380 let's say it's a constitutional question,

01:10:34.520 and, you know,

01:10:35.520 I've got my layperson's opinion,

01:10:37.800 it's not very good,

01:10:39.000 and then I see

01:10:39.960 Jonathan Turley

01:10:41.740 or Dershowitz

01:10:43.880 have a different opinion,

01:10:45.540 I immediately stop

01:10:46.940 and say,

01:10:48.160 whoa, whoa, whoa,

01:10:48.720 I'm probably wrong.

01:10:50.620 And then I look to see

01:10:51.940 if I can just adopt their opinion,

01:10:53.960 which I almost always do.

01:10:56.860 Now, if I saw

01:10:57.840 a story about a business,

01:10:59.420 you know,

01:11:00.380 some big business thing,

01:11:01.900 and I thought

01:11:02.660 the all-in one,

01:11:03.680 the all-in podcast people

01:11:05.000 all thought it was

01:11:05.560 a good business

01:11:06.320 or they all thought

01:11:07.420 it was a bad business,

01:11:08.900 I would change

01:11:10.260 my opinion immediately.

01:11:12.260 Indeed,

01:11:12.860 they talked about a company

01:11:13.980 that I thought

01:11:14.700 was a good investment

01:11:15.640 and when they were done,

01:11:17.160 I decided to pull my money out

01:11:18.560 because they said

01:11:21.300 something I hadn't heard before

01:11:22.460 and I don't make

01:11:23.540 investment advice,

01:11:24.860 so I'm not going to tell you

01:11:25.720 what company it was,

01:11:27.040 but basically,

01:11:28.080 I had a positive feeling

01:11:29.080 about a company.

01:11:30.220 I heard them say

01:11:31.000 some things

01:11:31.520 that I should have known

01:11:32.320 but didn't.

01:11:33.200 I just wasn't as well informed

01:11:34.740 as they were.

01:11:35.720 And when they said it,

01:11:36.620 I said to myself,

01:11:37.460 oh, damn,

01:11:39.460 how did I not know that?

01:11:41.680 And it changed my thinking.

01:11:43.600 Now, if they had been,

01:11:45.020 you know,

01:11:45.780 just a bunch of idiots,

01:11:47.520 I don't know

01:11:47.980 if it would have changed

01:11:48.580 my thinking.

01:11:49.600 But if you see the,

01:11:50.800 you know,

01:11:51.000 these highly accomplished,

01:11:52.920 smart,

01:11:53.880 independent thinkers

01:11:54.800 who appear not to be

01:11:56.040 in any political camp

01:11:57.240 whatsoever,

01:11:58.580 when you hear them

01:11:59.540 all on the same side

01:12:00.640 of something,

01:12:01.840 it's pretty powerful.

01:12:03.920 It's pretty powerful.

01:12:05.420 Now, for me also,

01:12:06.480 I'll name some other names.

01:12:08.900 I often mention

01:12:10.100 Mike Cernovich

01:12:10.720 because even if I don't

01:12:12.920 agree with him

01:12:13.700 on everything,

01:12:14.740 and nobody agrees

01:12:15.520 on everything,

01:12:16.180 right,

01:12:17.020 anytime he has an opinion

01:12:19.020 that disagrees with me,

01:12:20.260 I immediately stop

01:12:21.500 and go figure out

01:12:23.240 what I missed.

01:12:24.800 And then, you know,

01:12:25.560 maybe I still disagree,

01:12:26.760 but I'm going to go look

01:12:27.600 to see what I missed,

01:12:28.980 right?

01:12:29.460 And that's what the

01:12:30.240 all-in pod guys are doing.

01:12:32.160 At the very least,

01:12:33.920 they're going to make you say,

01:12:35.180 uh,

01:12:36.260 did I miss that?

01:12:37.800 And go look at it,

01:12:39.320 right?

01:12:40.620 So, and again,

01:12:41.560 you all have your own names of,

01:12:43.380 oh, Thomas Massey.

01:12:44.440 Here's another one.

01:12:45.740 Thomas Massey,

01:12:46.460 I'm not going to agree

01:12:47.120 with him on everything,

01:12:48.860 but if he has an opinion

01:12:50.040 that's different than mine,

01:12:51.020 I'd just immediately stop

01:12:52.600 and go figure out

01:12:54.060 what's he up to.

01:12:55.360 Like, why is he

01:12:56.040 disagreeing with me?

01:12:57.440 Yeah.

01:12:58.340 And, uh, yeah,

01:12:59.540 Glenn Greenwald

01:13:00.240 would be another,

01:13:01.380 et cetera.

01:13:01.960 Steve Cortez,

01:13:04.160 um, yeah,

01:13:05.360 these are very credible people.

01:13:08.840 All right,

01:13:09.440 so I think that's

01:13:10.240 a very important force

01:13:11.220 that's forming,

01:13:12.180 and it is the corrective force

01:13:13.900 we need.

01:13:14.980 I would love to reach

01:13:16.040 a point someday

01:13:16.940 when there's a political debate

01:13:19.720 and somebody says,

01:13:21.520 you know,

01:13:23.020 the all-in podcast

01:13:24.260 said this.

01:13:26.900 And, uh,

01:13:27.580 and actually make that

01:13:28.540 as part of the argument.

01:13:29.940 It's like,

01:13:30.760 here's the smartest people

01:13:32.160 who looked into it,

01:13:33.280 and they have an opinion

01:13:34.900 that's different from yours.

01:13:36.240 Now, Vivek is that, too.

01:13:38.240 Vivek has that same thing.

01:13:40.160 If Vivek has an opinion

01:13:41.400 I disagree with,

01:13:43.100 which I hate,

01:13:44.500 I immediately say,

01:13:46.100 all right,

01:13:46.460 what'd I miss?

01:13:47.120 Like, what's he saying

01:13:48.900 that I don't see?

01:13:50.100 And usually there is something.

01:13:52.320 Um,

01:13:52.780 here's a reframe

01:13:55.560 that Vivek had

01:13:56.760 on, uh,

01:13:57.460 spaces.

01:13:58.400 He said that we shouldn't

01:13:59.660 give, uh,

01:14:00.280 Biden any more money

01:14:01.380 for border security

01:14:02.780 until he, um,

01:14:05.320 enforces the laws

01:14:06.460 that are already

01:14:06.980 in the books.

01:14:08.580 And I thought to myself,

01:14:10.140 that's exactly how

01:14:11.940 you would run a company.

01:14:13.940 If it were a company,

01:14:15.280 you'd say,

01:14:16.960 why am I giving you

01:14:17.760 more money

01:14:18.320 for the thing

01:14:18.920 that you have

01:14:19.340 all the assets

01:14:19.940 you needed already

01:14:20.860 and you're just

01:14:21.360 not using them?

01:14:23.280 That's,

01:14:23.760 that's exactly

01:14:24.440 the type of thing

01:14:25.140 you don't give money to.

01:14:26.900 That's exactly

01:14:27.840 what you don't

01:14:28.840 give money to.

01:14:30.240 Somebody who's not

01:14:31.000 using what they have.

01:14:33.640 That's really basic.

01:14:35.440 And,

01:14:35.660 and the funny thing is,

01:14:36.940 until I heard him say it,

01:14:39.300 it didn't really occur to me.

01:14:40.440 somehow that wasn't,

01:14:44.300 you know,

01:14:44.540 anywhere in the front

01:14:45.240 of my mind.

01:14:46.060 But the moment he says it,

01:14:48.320 you say to yourself,

01:14:49.620 well, yeah,

01:14:51.120 as much as I think

01:14:52.640 we might need

01:14:53.560 extra funding,

01:14:55.080 and we probably do

01:14:55.980 for the border,

01:14:57.580 you don't know

01:14:58.720 how much you need

01:14:59.460 until you use

01:15:00.560 what you have.

01:15:02.620 Am I right?

01:15:03.720 If they could use

01:15:04.780 what they already have

01:15:05.720 and it would immediately

01:15:06.660 go back to something

01:15:07.740 like it was

01:15:08.400 during the Trump era

01:15:09.440 when Trump used

01:15:10.880 exactly those same tools.

01:15:13.120 Now, I don't know

01:15:13.760 if that's the case.

01:15:15.080 It could be that

01:15:15.760 something fundamentally

01:15:16.680 has changed

01:15:17.340 and those same set of tools

01:15:18.980 don't work anymore.

01:15:20.520 But I would certainly

01:15:21.760 not give them any money

01:15:23.160 until I knew that.

01:15:25.200 I would certainly

01:15:25.980 want to know that.

01:15:27.420 So,

01:15:28.280 yeah,

01:15:28.940 the Viveks,

01:15:30.060 the all-in

01:15:31.080 pod people,

01:15:32.580 the

01:15:32.880 Elon Musks,

01:15:35.220 they are really

01:15:36.140 making a difference

01:15:37.120 by being

01:15:38.320 just smarter

01:15:41.140 than the people

01:15:41.740 who are in the conversation.

01:15:43.460 That's really

01:15:44.000 what it is.

01:15:47.300 Even Lindsey Graham

01:15:48.380 is saying that

01:15:49.000 the Ukraine age

01:15:49.980 should be in the form

01:15:50.660 of a loan now.

01:15:52.820 So,

01:15:53.280 Trump

01:15:53.600 moved

01:15:54.720 Lindsey Graham

01:15:55.480 as well.

01:15:55.860 and

01:15:57.740 so I guess

01:16:02.860 Trump has asked

01:16:05.620 the Supreme Court

01:16:06.400 to weigh in

01:16:06.980 on the immunity question

01:16:08.300 which the lower courts

01:16:09.420 said he did not have.

01:16:11.100 So,

01:16:11.260 that would be

01:16:11.600 immunity

01:16:12.100 for being accused

01:16:13.880 of doing insurrection-y

01:16:15.140 things

01:16:15.620 during the

01:16:16.640 2020 election.

01:16:18.800 here's how

01:16:23.320 NBC News

01:16:25.300 reported it.

01:16:26.940 They say

01:16:27.380 that

01:16:28.020 former President

01:16:29.340 Trump

01:16:29.620 files

01:16:30.020 last-ditch

01:16:30.620 request

01:16:31.300 blah,

01:16:32.220 blah,

01:16:32.360 blah,

01:16:32.560 to prevent

01:16:33.100 his prosecution

01:16:34.000 for attempting

01:16:35.380 to overturn

01:16:36.220 the 2020 election.

01:16:38.420 Is that what

01:16:39.240 happened?

01:16:40.740 Do we just

01:16:41.440 report that

01:16:42.120 like it's a fact?

01:16:44.580 Because

01:16:45.220 wouldn't this fact

01:16:46.820 require knowing

01:16:48.720 Trump's inner thoughts

01:16:50.580 which are not

01:16:52.040 in evidence

01:16:52.580 anywhere?

01:16:53.740 The only places

01:16:54.800 his inner thoughts

01:16:55.700 are in evidence

01:16:56.300 are in his actions

01:16:57.360 and his actions

01:16:58.820 were go peacefully

01:17:00.120 and

01:17:01.320 apparently

01:17:02.560 every bit of

01:17:03.560 knowledge we have

01:17:04.700 about it

01:17:05.120 was he was

01:17:06.020 he was trying

01:17:07.320 to delay

01:17:08.600 a process

01:17:09.160 he thought

01:17:09.660 was corrupt

01:17:10.340 to make sure

01:17:11.620 it wasn't corrupt.

01:17:13.680 Now

01:17:14.820 couldn't that

01:17:16.700 also be the way

01:17:17.580 you described it?

01:17:18.920 That he would

01:17:20.060 be seeking

01:17:20.840 immunity

01:17:22.660 from

01:17:23.160 an

01:17:24.020 unreasonable

01:17:24.960 prosecution

01:17:25.800 for

01:17:27.480 trying to

01:17:28.280 protect

01:17:28.740 the republic

01:17:29.340 from what

01:17:30.700 looked like

01:17:31.340 a rigged

01:17:31.800 election

01:17:32.180 to many

01:17:32.740 people?

01:17:34.300 Is that

01:17:35.180 not accurate?

01:17:36.940 Because

01:17:37.620 I think

01:17:38.300 it's accurate

01:17:38.800 based on

01:17:39.280 the facts.

01:17:40.660 The NBC

01:17:41.200 News report

01:17:42.080 would assume

01:17:42.820 that they

01:17:43.160 know

01:17:43.380 something

01:17:43.680 about

01:17:43.960 his

01:17:44.220 inner

01:17:44.600 thoughts

01:17:45.220 that has

01:17:46.060 never

01:17:46.300 been

01:17:46.540 expressed

01:17:47.000 by him

01:17:47.520 written

01:17:47.800 down

01:17:48.240 or

01:17:49.080 in

01:17:49.340 evidence

01:17:49.720 from

01:17:49.960 anybody

01:17:50.360 who

01:17:50.520 ever

01:17:50.700 talked

01:17:51.080 to him.

01:17:52.060 Think about

01:17:52.820 the fact

01:17:53.260 that all

01:17:53.840 of the

01:17:54.080 investigating

01:17:54.740 all the

01:17:56.100 interviews

01:17:56.560 about

01:17:57.420 Trump

01:17:57.880 not once

01:17:59.580 did anybody

01:18:01.100 say

01:18:01.620 you know

01:18:02.460 privately

01:18:02.980 he knew

01:18:04.440 the election

01:18:04.940 was fair.

01:18:06.580 Not one

01:18:07.420 person.

01:18:08.600 Do you

01:18:08.880 know why?

01:18:10.280 Because

01:18:10.860 privately

01:18:11.340 he didn't

01:18:11.760 think it

01:18:12.040 was fair.

01:18:12.420 the obvious

01:18:14.140 reason.

01:18:15.360 He thought

01:18:16.420 exactly what

01:18:17.220 he said.

01:18:18.340 That there

01:18:18.700 was probably

01:18:19.120 some cheating.

01:18:20.340 He wanted

01:18:20.780 to figure it

01:18:21.340 out and

01:18:21.720 if they

01:18:21.980 could delay

01:18:22.480 for a day

01:18:23.400 or whatever

01:18:23.760 he wanted

01:18:24.140 to figure it

01:18:25.280 out maybe

01:18:26.140 he could get

01:18:26.620 lucky.

01:18:27.760 Maybe he

01:18:28.100 could get

01:18:28.340 lucky.

01:18:29.640 And then

01:18:30.060 of course

01:18:30.400 the way

01:18:30.720 they report

01:18:31.300 the extra

01:18:32.000 delegates is

01:18:33.240 that they're

01:18:33.560 fake delegates.

01:18:35.000 Is that

01:18:35.340 the right

01:18:35.640 word?

01:18:35.880 did Trump

01:18:37.800 try to get

01:18:38.300 fake delegates

01:18:39.200 or were

01:18:40.980 they

01:18:41.200 alternate

01:18:41.800 slative

01:18:42.920 delegates

01:18:43.400 so that

01:18:44.280 he could

01:18:44.660 keep his

01:18:45.440 legal

01:18:45.920 challenge

01:18:46.560 alive

01:18:47.180 which is

01:18:49.140 what some

01:18:49.660 of us

01:18:49.980 know

01:18:50.300 but has

01:18:51.280 never been

01:18:51.760 reported to

01:18:52.560 anybody on

01:18:53.120 the left.

01:18:54.720 Right.

01:18:55.080 That there

01:18:55.580 was a

01:18:56.000 legitimate

01:18:56.480 legal play

01:18:58.100 that involves

01:18:59.560 getting these

01:19:00.200 alternate

01:19:00.640 electors

01:19:01.400 and it's

01:19:02.240 not that

01:19:02.640 you think

01:19:03.020 that they

01:19:03.320 will

01:19:03.440 necessarily

01:19:03.900 make the

01:19:04.360 decision.

01:19:05.460 It's

01:19:05.900 simply that

01:19:06.400 you're

01:19:06.600 establishing

01:19:07.220 the seriousness

01:19:08.700 of your

01:19:09.260 claim

01:19:09.720 and it's

01:19:11.460 just part

01:19:11.840 of the

01:19:12.140 legal

01:19:12.660 positioning.

01:19:14.240 And that's

01:19:14.560 the way

01:19:14.800 it was

01:19:15.080 explained

01:19:15.580 in actual

01:19:16.680 documents

01:19:17.320 that have

01:19:18.360 been kicked

01:19:18.780 up from

01:19:20.040 the lawyers

01:19:20.540 that they

01:19:21.580 were actually

01:19:21.960 saying it

01:19:22.520 as a

01:19:23.020 legal

01:19:23.280 strategy

01:19:23.740 not an

01:19:24.220 illegal

01:19:24.660 insurrection

01:19:25.480 strategy

01:19:26.000 but in

01:19:27.000 their opinion

01:19:27.520 and they

01:19:28.480 could be

01:19:28.740 wrong

01:19:29.040 but in

01:19:30.000 their opinion

01:19:30.440 it was a

01:19:30.920 way to

01:19:31.280 keep a

01:19:32.180 legal

01:19:32.520 challenge

01:19:33.000 alive

01:19:33.520 given a

01:19:34.440 little

01:19:34.560 better

01:19:34.780 odds.

01:19:36.300 But NBC

01:19:37.780 reports it

01:19:38.900 like there's

01:19:39.340 a fact

01:19:39.920 that he

01:19:40.740 tried to

01:19:41.960 quote

01:19:42.380 overturn

01:19:44.640 the election.

01:19:46.560 Now on a

01:19:47.260 technical

01:19:47.760 level he

01:19:48.780 was trying

01:19:49.320 to overturn

01:19:49.900 it but

01:19:50.860 not overturn

01:19:51.660 it from

01:19:52.080 correct to

01:19:52.940 incorrect.

01:19:53.980 He was

01:19:54.520 trying to

01:19:54.940 overturn it

01:19:55.600 from

01:19:55.840 incorrect

01:19:56.480 to correct

01:19:57.480 which also

01:19:59.120 would have

01:19:59.420 gone his

01:19:59.780 way if

01:20:00.160 he had

01:20:00.660 been able

01:20:00.960 to do

01:20:01.260 it.

01:20:03.060 Now the

01:20:04.620 news doesn't

01:20:05.260 think that's

01:20:05.860 important.

01:20:07.900 We don't

01:20:08.780 need to

01:20:09.140 know that

01:20:10.360 the other

01:20:10.920 explanation of

01:20:12.680 what happened

01:20:13.240 the one that

01:20:13.900 fits the

01:20:14.360 facts.

01:20:15.220 There's only

01:20:15.560 one that

01:20:15.880 fits the

01:20:16.240 facts.

01:20:17.180 The one

01:20:17.620 that fits

01:20:17.980 the facts

01:20:18.540 is it

01:20:18.980 was a

01:20:19.380 legal

01:20:19.800 strategy

01:20:20.320 and they

01:20:21.340 honestly

01:20:21.820 believed

01:20:22.260 that the

01:20:22.660 thing had

01:20:22.960 been rigged.

01:20:24.700 That fits

01:20:25.460 every fact.

01:20:26.920 What

01:20:27.180 doesn't

01:20:27.680 fit the

01:20:28.040 fact is

01:20:28.900 he knew

01:20:30.220 it was

01:20:30.600 a real

01:20:31.200 election

01:20:31.660 and he

01:20:31.900 tried to

01:20:32.360 stay in

01:20:33.360 office.

01:20:35.920 All right.

01:20:39.480 And that

01:20:40.200 ladies and

01:20:40.720 gentlemen

01:20:41.020 is all I

01:20:42.460 wanted to

01:20:42.780 talk about

01:20:43.140 today.

01:20:43.480 I went

01:20:43.680 longer than

01:20:44.100 I thought.

01:20:44.780 Thank you

01:20:45.200 for joining

01:20:45.640 on YouTube

01:20:46.520 and Rumble

01:20:49.980 I'm going to

01:20:50.620 stay on and

01:20:51.120 talk to the

01:20:51.620 locals people a

01:20:52.480 little bit

01:20:52.760 more because

01:20:53.260 they get

01:20:53.600 extra.

01:20:54.060 they're

01:20:55.400 special.

01:20:56.620 If you'd

01:20:57.080 like to be

01:20:57.420 one of

01:20:57.700 them you'd
