Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2384 CWSA 02⧸14⧸24

00:00:00.000 You might ask yourself, why is the X platform not live?

00:00:09.600 It's because the Rumble Studio has an odd user interface in which you can click things

00:00:16.200 and not tell if they've been clicked for a little while, because it takes them a while to register.

00:00:22.800 So there are things I click correctly that when I go live are not clicked,

00:00:27.460 because I don't have the patience to hang around to make sure they register.

00:00:32.760 So there will be no X stream today.

00:00:39.500 Anyway, let's do the simultaneous sip.

00:00:41.480 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand,

00:00:45.220 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:49.120 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:53.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:56.940 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:58.660 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:01:01.120 Go.

00:01:05.200 Well, that was pretty good.

00:01:06.780 Pretty good.

00:01:07.460 Happy Valentine's Day.

00:01:11.200 Now, it's kind of a weird coincidence, because it's Valentine's Day,

00:01:14.120 and it's Ash Wednesday, and it's Hump Day, all on the same day.

00:01:18.640 So, I like to celebrate my Valentine's Day by humping somebody's ash.

00:01:28.660 All right, that wasn't the best dad joke of the day,

00:01:31.000 but the best one is coming from Ian Bremmer, who told this joke on X.

00:01:36.240 He said,

00:01:36.980 The Dutch aren't so tall when you account for their land being below sea level.

00:01:41.140 Nicely done, Ian Bremmer.

00:01:45.480 Nicely done, dad joke.

00:01:48.120 How many of you saw Ye, Kanye, at the Super Bowl?

00:01:52.620 Is there some rumor that Taylor Swift had him removed?

00:01:56.620 That the rumor is that he, I don't know that this is true.

00:02:00.140 To me, it doesn't sound true.

00:02:01.780 I would guess it's not.

00:02:02.780 But the rumor is that he bought a seat that was in front of Taylor Swift,

00:02:07.660 like, so that he would show up,

00:02:09.980 and he could promote his new album every time they switched to her.

00:02:14.140 Now, I hope that's true.

00:02:16.660 I don't think it is, but I hope it's true, because it'd be hilarious.

00:02:21.900 But apparently, Ye, some people say he was running out of cash,

00:02:26.440 and he ran a commercial on the Super Bowl.

00:02:29.340 He spent $7 million to do his commercial on the Super Bowl,

00:02:34.120 and then the commercial, he says,

00:02:35.940 he ran out of money for the commercial itself.

00:02:38.300 So he films it just by holding his phone up and talking into it,

00:02:42.000 doing a little selfie commercial,

00:02:44.280 which turned out to be exactly the right thing to do,

00:02:47.040 because it made a lot of attention.

00:02:49.120 And he sold $19 million worth of stuff,

00:02:53.200 and apparently he'll be cash positive really, really fast.

00:02:56.520 Anyway, there's so much news today.

00:03:02.960 The Daily Mail, the U.S. version,

00:03:05.080 reported that nearly half of young men

00:03:07.600 don't know where a woman's clitoris is. 1.00

00:03:13.740 I thought it was in my wallet.

00:03:16.800 But, yeah, what do I know?

00:03:18.660 What do I know?

00:03:19.240 In completely unrelated news

00:03:22.940 to half of men not knowing where a clitoris is,

00:03:26.760 it turns out the U.S. birth rate is falling.

00:03:29.340 Huh.

00:03:30.240 What could cause that?

00:03:32.420 I don't know.

00:03:33.780 But it's fallen somewhere between 14% and 20% since 2012.

00:03:38.360 And now 35% of women between 25% and 34% 1.00

00:03:41.800 have never given birth.

00:03:45.740 Huh.

00:03:45.960 I've never seen so many reasons not to have a child.

00:03:51.500 I feel like it's not one thing.

00:03:54.380 It's everything.

00:03:56.300 You know, from financial to personal

00:03:59.520 to having more alternatives on the Internet.

00:04:04.020 Just everything.

00:04:05.400 You know?

00:04:05.580 The body count,

00:04:09.640 the different advice we're getting,

00:04:11.440 the difficulty of being married,

00:04:14.500 the tax laws about getting divorced.

00:04:17.460 Really, it's everything.

00:04:18.660 The entire system is designed

00:04:20.380 for the complete elimination of American society.

00:04:24.740 And that's like a fact.

00:04:28.420 Now, that doesn't mean we'll, you know,

00:04:30.440 all be dead. 0.90

00:04:31.480 But the current design of our system

00:04:33.620 would guarantee it.

00:04:37.060 You get that, right?

00:04:38.520 If all we do is what we're currently doing,

00:04:40.940 we're guaranteed to no longer be a country

00:04:43.820 because our birth rate is falling off.

00:04:46.360 You know, you won't be able to, you know,

00:04:47.900 field the military, get anything done.

00:04:50.300 Um, that you'll have to bring in a bunch of immigrants 1.00

00:04:53.540 to get any work done.

00:04:54.640 And then you've got, you know, other problems

00:04:56.840 just trying to get everybody on the same page.

00:05:00.680 Well, in completely other news,

00:05:02.580 uh, you probably know, uh, political pundit,

00:05:06.120 I guess you'd call him, an author, Mark Stein.

00:05:08.720 He lost a defamation case to Michael Mann,

00:05:12.260 a climate scientist.

00:05:13.740 And I guess it was over, uh, Mark Stein's criticism

00:05:17.160 of the so-called hockey stick chart.

00:05:20.300 Um, that, uh, Michael Mann is famous for

00:05:23.500 that showed, uh, temperatures would,

00:05:26.620 or either have or would jump up in the future

00:05:29.080 and we'd all die from climate change.

00:05:31.560 And somehow, uh, the jury awarded him,

00:05:36.380 awarded a million dollars in damages,

00:05:38.560 although no damages were actually demonstrated.

00:05:41.860 And it seems pretty clear to me,

00:05:45.340 although I think the million dollars will get reversed.

00:05:47.420 Um, you know, by, uh, upper court.

00:05:52.300 But it looks like the process is the punishment.

00:05:55.440 I think Mark Stein said that.

00:05:57.620 That the point of it is to make it impossible

00:05:59.660 for a normal person to say something about climate change.

00:06:03.620 Now, consider this.

00:06:05.360 There are about a million people who have said,

00:06:07.420 or a billion,

00:06:08.300 who said the hockey stick graph doesn't look right to them.

00:06:11.800 And Mark Stein actually wrote a book

00:06:14.440 in which that was a major point.

00:06:17.760 And in order for him to be found liable,

00:06:20.700 the jury had to believe that Mark Stein

00:06:23.000 didn't believe what he said about the hockey stick chart.

00:06:27.340 That is so far beyond anything I can even hold in my head.

00:06:34.300 I don't think there's anything more obviously true

00:06:37.280 than Mark Stein believing what he said.

00:06:40.660 Which doesn't mean he's right.

00:06:42.800 Yeah, that's a different conversation.

00:06:45.180 But he clearly believes it.

00:06:47.840 How in the world do you get a jury

00:06:49.460 to say he doesn't believe something

00:06:50.940 that he's been saying out loud for years

00:06:53.380 and wrote a book about and shows his work,

00:06:57.640 shows his argument?

00:06:59.500 Yeah.

00:06:59.980 This is actually just crazy.

00:07:02.880 So clearly our justice system is completely broken.

00:07:08.060 Steve Malloy from, he does,

00:07:11.440 well, he's at Junk Science is his name on the X platform.

00:07:18.880 And he reports, and again, this doesn't mean it's true,

00:07:21.480 but just so you see all sides of an argument,

00:07:24.940 he says that even with all the biased temperature stations

00:07:28.040 at airports, there's no warming in the U.S.

00:07:30.800 for the last 25 years.

00:07:33.080 Now, how do we live in a world

00:07:34.920 in which a very well-informed guy,

00:07:38.020 Steve Malloy, who's, you know,

00:07:39.840 he's all over this topic,

00:07:42.140 so this is an area in which he's really well-versed.

00:07:46.000 And he says,

00:07:47.660 the temperatures haven't gone up in 25 years.

00:07:49.900 Now, you know,

00:07:52.020 if you ask the climate scientists,

00:07:53.680 they would present data and studies,

00:07:57.080 they would show ahead.

00:07:59.200 So who's right?

00:08:00.960 They both pay attention.

00:08:02.560 They both pay attention to all the news

00:08:04.700 and all the studies.

00:08:06.740 And one says, nothing happened.

00:08:09.120 And the other says,

00:08:09.880 oh, it's happening all over the place.

00:08:11.220 It's completely beyond question.

00:08:16.320 Which one of those sounds more real to you?

00:08:19.680 Here's something that Zach Vorey said

00:08:22.780 on the X platform.

00:08:24.640 He said,

00:08:25.040 I've discovered that nearly every single temperature sensor

00:08:27.580 used for climate data

00:08:28.780 is located on an airport.

00:08:32.000 Not near an airport.

00:08:33.280 on an airport.

00:08:37.560 Do you know what that means for temperature?

00:08:41.100 What it should mean

00:08:42.220 is that the thermometers would show warming

00:08:44.380 because they're near a lot of concrete.

00:08:47.080 And it wouldn't be a representative of the country.

00:08:50.660 Now, here's what everybody gets wrong about climate change.

00:08:54.060 I think that people who are not scientists,

00:08:56.980 and maybe even some scientists,

00:08:58.780 think that the part where they measure the temperature

00:09:02.160 is science.

00:09:04.080 You know that's not science, right?

00:09:07.540 That's more about human beings.

00:09:10.940 It's more about organization.

00:09:13.560 It's about who owns the temperature devices,

00:09:18.720 the sensors,

00:09:20.100 what companies put them out there,

00:09:22.500 how maintained they are,

00:09:24.220 where they put them,

00:09:25.020 and why they put them there.

00:09:26.480 None of that is science.

00:09:28.680 That's more like an ordinary company

00:09:30.520 doing ordinary things, right?

00:09:32.160 They're just trying to make their thing work.

00:09:35.980 Do you believe

00:09:37.280 that you know any people

00:09:40.220 who could have successfully placed

00:09:41.980 thousands of sensors anywhere

00:09:45.220 and gotten the right answer

00:09:47.340 to within a tenth of a degree?

00:09:49.740 If you imagine how many of those sensors

00:09:52.840 might be a little untuned

00:09:56.640 or not exactly right,

00:09:59.180 how many of them have weird readings

00:10:03.640 for different reasons, technical or otherwise?

00:10:06.440 How many of them need maintenance?

00:10:07.760 How many of them are different models?

00:10:10.420 Do you think if you put in one model of sensor

00:10:12.760 and then later you replace it with another one,

00:10:15.280 you could be confident

00:10:16.180 you've got a good unbroken chain

00:10:20.520 of cause and effect?

00:10:24.200 Here's what I think.

00:10:25.420 I don't think anybody who's lived in the real world

00:10:28.080 believes that we can measure

00:10:30.020 the temperature of the earth

00:10:31.080 within a tenth of a degree.

00:10:32.260 And I'm going to say that

00:10:34.240 as clearly as possible.

00:10:36.540 I don't know if that, you know,

00:10:38.040 I don't know what's happening

00:10:38.940 with climate change.

00:10:40.040 I have no way to know

00:10:40.860 because I don't believe any data.

00:10:42.920 But I don't think there's any chance

00:10:46.160 that given the complexity

00:10:47.780 of measuring the temperature

00:10:50.460 and all these thermometers

00:10:52.020 and all the things that could go wrong,

00:10:53.980 I don't believe there's any chances right.

00:10:55.680 I mean, it could be too high

00:10:58.240 or it could be too low.

00:10:59.980 But I don't think there's any chance

00:11:01.260 it's accurate.

00:11:02.740 And we're making all our decisions

00:11:04.040 based on it.

00:11:06.420 All right.

00:11:06.940 Well, and then there's another study

00:11:09.100 Judith Curry was pointing out

00:11:11.420 that apparently a lot of cities

00:11:13.380 have added greenery.

00:11:15.600 You know, they've added plants and trees,

00:11:17.180 which everybody would say,

00:11:18.560 well, that's good.

00:11:19.620 That's pretty good for climate change, right?

00:11:21.680 Add a bunch of trees.

00:11:23.340 Well, it turns out that when you add trees,

00:11:25.680 you don't have as much concrete showing

00:11:28.460 and concrete is really good

00:11:30.460 at reflecting sun back up

00:11:31.960 into the atmosphere.

00:11:33.800 So it turns out if you plant

00:11:35.260 a bunch of trees

00:11:36.240 where you used to have concrete,

00:11:39.020 it might actually trap the warmth.

00:11:43.080 It might trap the warmth

00:11:44.580 because it doesn't reflect back out.

00:11:47.520 So they could actually be making

00:11:49.660 the sensors read a little bit warmer

00:11:53.780 because they planted a bunch of trees

00:11:55.380 and cities.

00:11:56.160 There's a study that suggests that.

00:11:58.220 Now, is that true?

00:11:59.320 I don't know.

00:12:00.540 But it gives you an idea

00:12:01.800 of the complexity.

00:12:04.200 The level of complexity

00:12:06.820 of measuring the temperature

00:12:08.260 of the Earth over time,

00:12:11.160 I think, is zero chance

00:12:13.320 that they could do that.

00:12:16.160 All right.

00:12:16.760 Big changes in AI.

00:12:19.020 AI is finally getting a memory.

00:12:21.340 So ChatGPT will remember

00:12:23.280 your last conversations.

00:12:26.160 That should open up

00:12:27.280 a whole bunch of different applications.

00:12:30.420 And NVIDIA apparently

00:12:31.420 is coming out with their own product,

00:12:35.200 some kind of a chat with RTX.

00:12:37.540 I guess it's an AI technology.

00:12:39.320 And their chatbot can run

00:12:42.660 on your local PC.

00:12:44.680 I don't think it works

00:12:46.060 on a Macintosh yet

00:12:47.360 or an Apple computer yet.

00:12:51.620 But it's your own personal AI,

00:12:54.260 no connection to the Internet,

00:12:56.100 and you could feed it

00:12:57.280 all of your documents.

00:12:59.220 So you could give it

00:13:00.240 all your files,

00:13:01.380 all your videos,

00:13:02.640 and it would know

00:13:03.320 everything about you

00:13:04.260 or everything about the topic

00:13:05.600 that you wanted to know.

00:13:06.520 So these are,

00:13:13.180 they sound like little things,

00:13:14.960 but if you add memory

00:13:16.280 and you add that you can do it

00:13:18.360 on your own computer,

00:13:20.660 those are gigantic

00:13:21.940 civilization-changing things.

00:13:25.320 They're just small at the moment.

00:13:28.580 All right.

00:13:29.940 Have you heard of Ground News?

00:13:31.740 Ground News is a company

00:13:34.560 that shows you

00:13:35.780 where there is bias in the news.

00:13:38.740 So, for example,

00:13:39.520 if there's a big political story

00:13:40.960 and one side covers it

00:13:42.640 and the others don't,

00:13:44.160 that will show up

00:13:45.020 on Ground News' reporting.

00:13:47.800 So they did a report

00:13:49.600 on Michael Rapoport.

00:13:52.100 Is he actor, comedian?

00:13:53.940 What is he?

00:13:55.040 Actor, comedian.

00:13:56.940 I don't know what to call

00:13:58.000 Michael Rapoport.

00:13:58.800 But, so the news was

00:14:04.080 that he said he was wrong

00:14:05.240 about Donald Trump's

00:14:06.660 Charlottesville statements.

00:14:08.920 And how much coverage

00:14:10.240 did that get from

00:14:11.080 the political right?

00:14:12.940 A lot.

00:14:14.440 Yeah.

00:14:15.140 It turns out

00:14:15.920 when a major hoax

00:14:17.140 that was the centerpiece

00:14:18.640 of the president's entire campaign,

00:14:21.560 Biden's campaign,

00:14:23.000 that when that gets debunked

00:14:24.340 by a major celebrity

00:14:25.260 who realizes

00:14:25.960 not just that he was fooled,

00:14:28.780 but he can tell you

00:14:29.680 exactly how the mainstream media did it.

00:14:32.640 So, how much coverage

00:14:33.800 do you think that got

00:14:34.640 from left-leaning outlets?

00:14:38.680 Zero.

00:14:41.160 Zero.

00:14:42.080 Not one.

00:14:42.740 All kinds of right-leaning entities

00:14:46.440 covered it.

00:14:47.680 But, zero.

00:14:50.320 Now, if you were

00:14:51.240 if you were a Democrat,

00:14:55.220 do you think you would know

00:14:56.620 that this is necessarily a hoax?

00:14:58.860 The fine people hoax?

00:15:00.520 You wouldn't know.

00:15:02.480 There's no access to news.

00:15:04.440 How would you know?

00:15:05.820 Unless you figured it out yourself.

00:15:07.320 Well, CNN promoted

00:15:11.880 one of their people,

00:15:13.120 Natasha Bertrand.

00:15:15.100 So, that's good, right?

00:15:17.200 Honest reporter,

00:15:18.240 working hard,

00:15:19.520 gets her promotion.

00:15:20.520 I think we can all

00:15:21.300 be happy about that.

00:15:24.040 So, Natasha Bertrand.

00:15:26.440 Let's see.

00:15:27.660 Where have I heard

00:15:28.460 that name before?

00:15:30.480 Natasha Bertrand.

00:15:31.880 I feel like I've heard

00:15:33.060 that name before.

00:15:35.540 Let's see.

00:15:37.320 Molly Hemingway

00:15:39.140 reminds us that

00:15:40.440 she was

00:15:42.560 behind the

00:15:43.580 Fusion GPS

00:15:44.800 Russia collusion

00:15:46.920 reporting.

00:15:48.340 She was one of the 0.56

00:15:48.900 main people behind that.

00:15:50.820 Well, I mean,

00:15:51.300 that's just

00:15:51.700 one mistake.

00:15:53.900 I mean,

00:15:55.100 come on.

00:15:55.960 Can we let

00:15:56.380 let people have

00:15:57.320 one mistake?

00:15:58.400 Not,

00:15:58.700 nobody's perfect.

00:16:01.100 She also

00:16:02.140 was one of the

00:16:03.000 main people

00:16:03.540 promoting

00:16:04.020 the Hunter Biden

00:16:04.940 laptop story

00:16:05.920 was Russian

00:16:06.540 disinformation.

00:16:08.840 Okay,

00:16:09.220 two mistakes.

00:16:10.120 That's just

00:16:10.500 two mistakes,

00:16:11.580 which seem

00:16:12.860 coincidentally

00:16:13.460 compatible with

00:16:14.420 the intelligence

00:16:15.380 operation

00:16:16.860 in the United States.

00:16:18.200 So,

00:16:19.020 the people

00:16:19.500 who are smarter

00:16:20.320 than I am

00:16:21.440 tell me

00:16:22.400 she's an 0.96

00:16:22.840 intelligence asset

00:16:23.900 and CNN

00:16:25.120 is promoting

00:16:26.240 her for

00:16:26.980 spreading

00:16:27.680 some of

00:16:28.060 the biggest

00:16:28.440 lies

00:16:28.860 in the

00:16:30.180 political world.

00:16:31.720 Right in front

00:16:32.660 of you.

00:16:34.740 Does that

00:16:35.400 blow you away?

00:16:37.020 Now,

00:16:37.640 you tell me

00:16:38.780 how many

00:16:39.440 Democrats

00:16:40.180 saw the

00:16:41.580 news

00:16:42.060 that somebody

00:16:43.140 who's famous

00:16:43.880 for spreading

00:16:44.920 hoaxes,

00:16:46.220 the political

00:16:46.820 ones are really

00:16:47.680 the intelligence

00:16:48.500 driven ones.

00:16:51.200 Do you think

00:16:52.160 that they're aware

00:16:52.960 that CNN

00:16:53.620 just promoted

00:16:54.420 one of their

00:16:55.820 primary hoaxers?

00:16:57.360 Probably not.

00:16:59.060 No,

00:16:59.360 but the right

00:16:59.860 saw the news

00:17:00.520 on X.

00:17:01.000 All right.

00:17:06.960 This is amazing.

00:17:08.180 So,

00:17:08.360 Thomas Massey

00:17:08.980 is posting

00:17:09.440 that this week

00:17:11.020 the House

00:17:11.400 will vote

00:17:11.780 on whether

00:17:12.080 the U.S.

00:17:12.640 government

00:17:12.960 needs to get

00:17:14.300 a warrant

00:17:14.880 to search

00:17:15.960 your private

00:17:16.480 communications.

00:17:18.720 Wait,

00:17:19.320 what?

00:17:21.000 The House

00:17:21.800 will vote

00:17:22.320 on whether

00:17:22.880 the U.S.

00:17:23.440 government

00:17:23.780 must get

00:17:24.340 a warrant

00:17:25.040 to search

00:17:26.380 your private

00:17:27.160 communications.

00:17:28.340 didn't you

00:17:30.360 kind of think

00:17:31.020 that they

00:17:31.420 already needed

00:17:31.980 that?

00:17:32.960 Or can they

00:17:33.860 just go

00:17:34.260 looking for

00:17:34.780 a crime?

00:17:36.200 Oh,

00:17:36.940 you did know

00:17:37.620 that they

00:17:37.960 can do that

00:17:38.660 because they

00:17:39.480 can do that

00:17:40.240 if,

00:17:42.460 I suppose,

00:17:43.000 if this gets

00:17:43.420 passed.

00:17:45.240 And they

00:17:45.900 would do it

00:17:46.260 by collecting

00:17:46.820 the information

00:17:49.380 that's used

00:17:49.940 to surveil

00:17:50.640 foreigners.

00:17:53.100 So,

00:17:53.700 as long as

00:17:54.520 our intelligence

00:17:55.160 picks up

00:17:55.780 some foreign

00:17:56.480 conversations

00:17:57.240 and they

00:17:58.480 talk to

00:17:58.960 any

00:17:59.180 Americans,

00:18:00.820 apparently

00:18:01.200 it's legal

00:18:01.820 to go look

00:18:02.460 at all

00:18:02.940 of the

00:18:03.200 communication

00:18:03.800 of the

00:18:04.240 American

00:18:04.620 they talk

00:18:05.140 to,

00:18:05.900 even if

00:18:06.440 no crime

00:18:07.020 is alleged

00:18:07.840 or involved.

00:18:09.860 Can you

00:18:10.500 believe that?

00:18:12.700 Here's the

00:18:13.320 part that I

00:18:13.800 think is funny.

00:18:15.380 I think it's

00:18:15.900 funny that

00:18:16.340 anybody thought

00:18:16.960 they had

00:18:17.300 any privacy.

00:18:19.020 You've never

00:18:19.680 had privacy.

00:18:21.180 You've never

00:18:21.760 had privacy.

00:18:23.120 I mean,

00:18:23.620 never for

00:18:24.380 years.

00:18:25.740 So,

00:18:26.260 every time

00:18:26.580 we have a

00:18:26.920 conversation

00:18:27.340 about protecting

00:18:28.600 our privacy,

00:18:29.600 I think,

00:18:30.560 in what

00:18:30.980 world are

00:18:31.480 you living?

00:18:32.840 That whole

00:18:33.460 privacy thing

00:18:34.260 went away a

00:18:34.740 long time ago.

00:18:35.740 Yeah.

00:18:36.140 They're in

00:18:36.740 anything they

00:18:37.240 want to be

00:18:37.600 in.

00:18:39.200 All right,

00:18:39.720 we'll talk

00:18:40.020 more about

00:18:40.420 that.

00:18:40.720 But,

00:18:40.840 here's a

00:18:42.640 little mystery

00:18:43.960 solved with

00:18:45.060 Bill Ackman.

00:18:47.900 You know,

00:18:48.120 he was so

00:18:48.560 active in

00:18:49.200 going after

00:18:49.760 Harvard for

00:18:51.260 their wokeness

00:18:52.200 and their bad

00:18:52.680 comments about

00:18:53.340 Israel.

00:18:54.300 And I didn't

00:18:54.800 realize,

00:18:55.120 you know,

00:18:55.560 I wondered

00:18:55.860 why he was

00:18:56.380 so active

00:18:57.100 about that.

00:18:58.140 I mean,

00:18:58.500 I realize

00:18:59.000 that the

00:18:59.500 Israel part

00:19:00.300 might be

00:19:00.860 personal and

00:19:01.760 Harvard was

00:19:02.540 his college,

00:19:03.280 so it's

00:19:03.480 personal.

00:19:04.500 But it

00:19:04.820 turns out,

00:19:06.000 he said that

00:19:06.740 his daughter

00:19:07.340 went to

00:19:07.740 Harvard and

00:19:08.600 they turned

00:19:09.120 her into a 0.81

00:19:09.680 Marxist.

00:19:11.140 So,

00:19:11.680 imagine being

00:19:12.260 one of the

00:19:12.620 biggest,

00:19:13.480 most famous

00:19:14.260 capitalists in

00:19:15.160 the entire

00:19:15.540 country,

00:19:16.720 and you're

00:19:17.520 so proud

00:19:18.100 because you

00:19:18.500 sent your

00:19:18.880 daughter not

00:19:19.880 only to the

00:19:20.460 school you

00:19:20.860 went to,

00:19:22.120 but to

00:19:22.520 Harvard.

00:19:22.820 And she

00:19:24.200 comes back

00:19:24.760 being an

00:19:25.140 anti-capitalist.

00:19:27.540 That's got to

00:19:28.360 hurt.

00:19:29.240 And apparently

00:19:29.680 it caused a lot

00:19:30.300 of tension.

00:19:31.400 She would,

00:19:31.860 quote,

00:19:32.120 freak out at the

00:19:32.880 table when

00:19:33.580 capitalism came

00:19:34.620 up.

00:19:36.380 So,

00:19:37.000 so basically

00:19:37.880 they ruined

00:19:38.620 his daughter,

00:19:39.920 and he,

00:19:40.400 not only did he

00:19:41.080 pay for it,

00:19:42.080 but he did a

00:19:42.860 massive donation

00:19:43.760 to them.

00:19:44.800 And then they

00:19:45.320 destroyed his

00:19:46.080 daughter.

00:19:46.360 You know,

00:19:48.380 at least they

00:19:48.920 ruined her mind 0.90

00:19:49.680 according to this

00:19:50.720 report.

00:20:19.000 Well, CBS

00:20:22.120 News fired

00:20:23.280 reporter

00:20:24.560 Catherine

00:20:25.140 Herridge, who

00:20:26.820 you probably

00:20:27.860 know and

00:20:28.800 have respected.

00:20:29.860 She's one of 0.65

00:20:30.380 the few

00:20:30.840 people who

00:20:32.060 when her

00:20:32.620 name comes

00:20:33.200 up in

00:20:33.580 terms of

00:20:34.360 usually

00:20:35.000 political

00:20:36.100 foreign,

00:20:37.500 you know,

00:20:37.780 political

00:20:38.280 reporting,

00:20:38.920 let's say,

00:20:39.660 but a lot

00:20:40.240 of it involving

00:20:41.140 other countries.

00:20:42.860 And when

00:20:43.600 her name

00:20:44.060 comes up,

00:20:44.940 at least

00:20:45.400 among

00:20:45.940 conservatives,

00:20:47.460 almost

00:20:48.900 universally,

00:20:50.060 there's

00:20:50.400 respect

00:20:50.960 attached to

00:20:51.880 it,

00:20:52.060 which is

00:20:52.380 very weird

00:20:53.120 because

00:20:54.480 generally

00:20:55.040 speaking,

00:20:57.140 you know,

00:20:57.400 journalists on

00:20:57.980 both sides

00:20:58.500 get a lot

00:20:58.920 of criticism,

00:21:00.120 but she's 0.97

00:21:00.700 generally held

00:21:01.360 up as like

00:21:01.920 the one

00:21:02.280 who's

00:21:02.540 obviously

00:21:03.160 just trying

00:21:03.720 to do

00:21:04.000 her job

00:21:04.540 and doing

00:21:04.940 a good

00:21:05.220 job.

00:21:07.100 However,

00:21:08.420 there is

00:21:09.120 some

00:21:09.440 rumoring

00:21:10.340 that CBS

00:21:11.160 wanted to

00:21:11.720 get rid

00:21:12.040 of her

00:21:12.280 because she

00:21:12.740 was reporting

00:21:13.860 things that

00:21:14.360 were true.

00:21:14.760 And so

00:21:16.380 they used

00:21:16.820 the excuse

00:21:17.600 of a

00:21:18.020 mass

00:21:18.320 firing

00:21:18.800 that involved

00:21:19.920 many other

00:21:20.740 people

00:21:21.100 to take

00:21:22.600 around at

00:21:22.980 the same

00:21:23.300 time.

00:21:23.980 I don't

00:21:24.600 know that

00:21:24.940 there's

00:21:25.140 any way

00:21:25.420 to confirm

00:21:26.100 what people

00:21:26.860 were thinking

00:21:27.620 when they

00:21:28.820 did it,

00:21:29.660 but it

00:21:30.920 is another

00:21:31.420 example of

00:21:32.120 one person

00:21:32.680 who is

00:21:32.960 known for

00:21:33.400 telling the

00:21:33.820 truth could

00:21:35.020 not hold

00:21:35.560 the job

00:21:36.060 at a

00:21:36.680 major

00:21:37.080 news

00:21:38.020 organization.

00:21:39.700 Does that

00:21:40.440 remind you

00:21:40.880 of anybody?

00:21:41.300 who else

00:21:43.300 would be

00:21:44.720 famous for

00:21:45.480 telling the

00:21:45.960 truth and

00:21:47.580 therefore got

00:21:48.560 kicked off a

00:21:49.320 major news

00:21:50.060 platform?

00:21:52.160 Well, I

00:21:52.520 can think of

00:21:53.120 Tucker Carlson.

00:21:55.600 Now, you

00:21:56.020 could, you

00:21:56.700 know, he's

00:21:57.380 accused of

00:21:57.920 not telling

00:21:58.400 the truth.

00:21:58.980 That's always

00:21:59.760 convenient.

00:22:00.740 But it

00:22:01.340 seemed to

00:22:01.700 me that's

00:22:02.120 not exactly

00:22:02.640 why they

00:22:03.020 got rid

00:22:03.340 of him,

00:22:03.680 probably

00:22:03.940 because he

00:22:04.380 was telling

00:22:04.820 too much

00:22:05.300 truth.

00:22:07.120 And I

00:22:07.580 told you

00:22:07.880 the story

00:22:08.200 about Steve

00:22:08.740 Cortez,

00:22:09.460 who was

00:22:09.860 on CNN,

00:22:11.300 and he

00:22:12.220 would, he

00:22:12.840 was debunking

00:22:13.680 the fine

00:22:14.100 people hoax,

00:22:14.920 which is a

00:22:15.940 staple of

00:22:16.500 the reporting

00:22:17.100 and never

00:22:17.660 been true.

00:22:19.400 And he

00:22:20.920 was let

00:22:22.040 go.

00:22:23.440 Yeah.

00:22:23.900 So there

00:22:24.560 is a, there

00:22:25.900 is a very

00:22:26.320 clear pattern

00:22:27.120 that when

00:22:28.120 people try to

00:22:28.880 tell the

00:22:29.280 truth in a

00:22:30.100 news organization,

00:22:31.360 they get

00:22:32.340 fired.

00:22:34.520 That's

00:22:35.080 actually a

00:22:35.540 real thing.

00:22:36.740 Getting

00:22:37.300 fired for

00:22:38.000 telling the

00:22:38.440 truth, and

00:22:39.100 there's a

00:22:39.800 very clear

00:22:40.300 pattern.

00:22:41.300 Now, it

00:22:41.740 could be,

00:22:42.200 there could

00:22:42.440 be coincidences

00:22:43.220 involved, and

00:22:44.020 maybe there's

00:22:44.400 more to the

00:22:44.780 story, but

00:22:45.300 it's kind of

00:22:46.980 a weird

00:22:47.260 coincidence that

00:22:48.100 every time

00:22:48.460 you tell the

00:22:48.900 truth, your

00:22:50.360 odds of

00:22:50.640 getting fired

00:22:51.100 are very

00:22:51.400 high.

00:22:52.720 Now, I

00:22:53.260 got canceled

00:22:53.920 just about a

00:22:55.760 year ago, so

00:22:56.780 it's almost

00:22:57.160 exactly a year,

00:22:58.120 a few weeks

00:22:58.600 from now.

00:23:01.140 How did

00:23:01.780 newspapers do

00:23:02.800 after they

00:23:03.380 canceled me?

00:23:05.040 Oh, turns

00:23:05.900 out they had

00:23:06.620 an unprecedented

00:23:07.500 decline in

00:23:08.420 readership

00:23:08.940 immediately

00:23:10.260 following

00:23:10.840 getting rid

00:23:12.040 of Dilbert

00:23:12.480 in the

00:23:12.800 newspapers.

00:23:14.060 Now, I

00:23:14.620 don't think

00:23:14.980 that's totally

00:23:15.620 causal, but

00:23:17.540 it does tell

00:23:18.120 you that

00:23:18.500 they're not

00:23:19.800 capably run.

00:23:21.660 And if

00:23:21.940 anybody doesn't

00:23:22.540 know, I don't

00:23:23.320 think any

00:23:23.800 Republican ever

00:23:24.940 canceled me.

00:23:26.620 It was

00:23:27.180 entirely

00:23:27.540 political.

00:23:29.320 When it

00:23:29.820 first happens,

00:23:30.560 you're not

00:23:30.860 sure, because

00:23:31.940 it's a fog of

00:23:32.840 war.

00:23:33.000 But a

00:23:33.740 year later, I

00:23:35.020 haven't gotten

00:23:35.460 a single

00:23:35.880 complaint from

00:23:36.600 anything I've

00:23:37.180 ever said, at

00:23:39.140 least in

00:23:39.460 terms of

00:23:39.880 cancellation

00:23:40.520 kind of

00:23:41.060 stuff, from

00:23:41.980 any Republican.

00:23:44.400 As far as I

00:23:45.260 know, it was

00:23:45.620 100% Democrat

00:23:46.800 action, and

00:23:48.020 maybe there

00:23:48.440 were some

00:23:48.720 Republicans who

00:23:49.380 just had to

00:23:49.800 go along

00:23:50.220 with it.

00:23:52.420 So, I

00:23:53.360 don't know,

00:23:53.520 that's my

00:23:53.860 speculation.

00:23:54.580 I don't

00:23:54.760 know for

00:23:55.080 sure.

00:23:56.700 All

00:23:56.820 right.

00:23:58.220 Mayorkas,

00:23:59.580 Homeland Security

00:24:00.480 Secretary, was

00:24:02.300 impeached.

00:24:03.000 Which doesn't

00:24:03.700 mean much.

00:24:04.220 He was just

00:24:04.680 impeached by

00:24:05.220 one vote in

00:24:06.160 the House, but

00:24:07.860 then he goes to

00:24:08.540 the Senate, and

00:24:09.340 either won't go to

00:24:10.440 a vote, or

00:24:11.220 voted down.

00:24:12.580 So, he's not

00:24:13.760 going to actually

00:24:14.200 lose his job, but

00:24:15.640 I'm very happy

00:24:16.440 that the

00:24:17.380 Republicans pushed

00:24:18.360 it, because

00:24:19.980 they need to get

00:24:20.580 on record saying

00:24:21.780 you're destroying

00:24:23.280 the world, you

00:24:25.200 know, if not

00:24:25.680 just the

00:24:26.080 country, right

00:24:28.040 now, and

00:24:28.780 you're doing it

00:24:29.280 right in front of

00:24:29.980 us, and we're

00:24:30.520 all watching, and

00:24:31.380 there's no way we

00:24:32.100 can be silent

00:24:32.800 about it.

00:24:33.720 So, yes, good

00:24:34.900 job for the

00:24:35.500 Republicans getting

00:24:36.940 the impeachment

00:24:37.460 through.

00:24:38.140 So, at least it's

00:24:38.820 on record.

00:24:40.020 At least it's

00:24:40.740 on record.

00:24:42.200 And that's

00:24:42.960 good work.

00:24:44.460 We're also

00:24:45.180 learning, the

00:24:45.880 Judicial Watch,

00:24:46.860 Tom Fenton is

00:24:47.580 saying that they

00:24:49.420 have learned from

00:24:50.220 a FOIA lawsuit

00:24:51.380 that it was

00:24:52.840 Mayorkas who 0.99

00:24:53.620 personally denied

00:24:55.080 security for

00:24:56.080 RFK Jr.

00:24:56.880 are you

00:24:59.440 concerned about

00:25:00.320 Mayorkas being 1.00

00:25:01.160 on our team

00:25:01.840 yet?

00:25:04.340 Mayorkas looks

00:25:05.120 like he doesn't

00:25:05.840 even work for

00:25:06.380 the United

00:25:06.720 States.

00:25:08.700 He acts like

00:25:09.840 he works for a

00:25:10.840 foreign country,

00:25:12.620 because his

00:25:13.660 behavior is so

00:25:14.920 contrary to the

00:25:16.860 American interests.

00:25:18.400 I mean, it's just

00:25:18.780 so obviously

00:25:19.440 contrary to our

00:25:20.460 interests.

00:25:21.220 How in the

00:25:21.700 world does this

00:25:24.820 go on?

00:25:25.540 How in the

00:25:26.020 world does

00:25:26.500 this keep

00:25:26.880 going?

00:25:28.440 Amazing.

00:25:30.440 Senate

00:25:30.920 candidate

00:25:31.440 Barbara Lee,

00:25:33.280 you heard about

00:25:34.700 this, she had a

00:25:35.380 solution for the

00:25:37.200 high prices in

00:25:38.220 San Francisco.

00:25:40.360 She wants 0.85

00:25:41.000 minimum wage to

00:25:42.300 be $50 an

00:25:43.500 hour.

00:25:46.240 Now, she said

00:25:47.660 that during a

00:25:48.280 debate running

00:25:49.660 for Senate in

00:25:50.840 California.

00:25:51.300 How does it

00:25:55.040 happen that

00:25:56.320 somebody could

00:25:57.040 have an opinion

00:25:57.700 that's so

00:25:58.260 monumentally stupid

00:25:59.760 and they could

00:26:01.200 get all the way

00:26:01.860 to the debate

00:26:02.620 floor and

00:26:03.920 nobody told her

00:26:04.740 how stupid it

00:26:05.460 was?

00:26:06.540 How does that

00:26:06.980 happen?

00:26:09.260 I'm going to

00:26:10.220 make a

00:26:10.820 controversial

00:26:12.120 speculation.

00:26:14.100 I don't know

00:26:14.620 this, but I

00:26:16.300 think she might

00:26:16.820 have the black

00:26:17.460 woman problem. 1.00

00:26:19.320 Do you know

00:26:19.920 what the black

00:26:20.400 woman problem 1.00

00:26:21.020 is?

00:26:22.220 Nobody wants

00:26:23.040 to tell you

00:26:23.480 the truth.

00:26:25.400 That's the

00:26:26.040 black woman 1.00

00:26:26.560 problem.

00:26:27.860 And that's

00:26:29.500 not an insult.

00:26:30.680 It's not an

00:26:31.400 insult.

00:26:32.360 It really is

00:26:34.040 maybe a

00:26:35.000 reflection of

00:26:36.400 how much

00:26:36.720 power you

00:26:37.240 have in

00:26:37.560 society.

00:26:38.580 If nobody

00:26:39.400 wants to

00:26:39.940 tell you the

00:26:40.380 truth, that

00:26:40.880 means you

00:26:41.140 have power

00:26:41.680 of some

00:26:42.700 kind, either

00:26:43.900 personal or

00:26:44.740 political or

00:26:45.640 financial or

00:26:46.640 something.

00:26:47.740 So there

00:26:48.080 is a, it

00:26:49.020 does seem

00:26:49.480 like there

00:26:51.320 is one

00:26:51.720 group that

00:26:52.420 I don't

00:26:52.880 know anybody

00:26:53.440 who would

00:26:53.740 tell the

00:26:54.060 truth to.

00:26:55.500 I don't

00:26:56.020 know any

00:26:56.300 white person

00:26:56.840 who would

00:26:57.140 because it

00:26:58.620 just doesn't

00:26:59.880 pay.

00:27:01.500 So, but

00:27:02.520 imagine the

00:27:03.640 cost of this,

00:27:04.720 the fact that

00:27:05.200 we can't talk

00:27:05.820 to each other

00:27:06.360 honestly.

00:27:07.500 You don't

00:27:08.020 think there

00:27:08.420 was even

00:27:08.800 one person

00:27:09.640 who knew

00:27:10.680 that if

00:27:11.040 Barbara Lee

00:27:11.600 recommended a

00:27:12.760 $50 an

00:27:13.800 hour minimum

00:27:14.920 wage, there

00:27:16.280 wasn't one

00:27:16.820 person in

00:27:17.360 her world

00:27:17.760 to tell

00:27:18.120 her that's 1.00

00:27:18.600 not just

00:27:18.960 a bad

00:27:19.320 idea, that's

00:27:20.620 just stupid.

00:27:22.700 And by the

00:27:23.400 way, I'm

00:27:23.980 not going to

00:27:24.500 insult you by

00:27:25.260 describing why

00:27:26.120 it's stupid

00:27:26.700 because you

00:27:28.220 all know.

00:27:29.360 Am I right?

00:27:30.180 Is there one

00:27:30.720 person here who

00:27:32.120 doesn't know why

00:27:32.780 that's stupid?

00:27:35.220 Anybody?

00:27:36.740 Right now, there

00:27:37.500 are thousands of

00:27:38.380 people watching.

00:27:39.480 I'll bet there's

00:27:39.980 not one person

00:27:40.940 who thinks that's

00:27:42.560 a good idea or

00:27:43.940 that it's even

00:27:44.500 just a

00:27:45.160 preference.

00:27:46.060 It's not even

00:27:46.840 a preference.

00:27:48.120 It's actually

00:27:48.800 just stupid

00:27:49.620 because it

00:27:50.520 couldn't work.

00:27:51.280 There's no

00:27:51.660 world in which

00:27:53.080 it would be

00:27:53.540 smart.

00:27:56.020 So I think

00:27:56.760 her problem is 0.86

00:27:57.400 that she doesn't

00:27:57.940 have anybody

00:27:58.360 who can tell

00:27:58.820 her the truth

00:27:59.400 because it

00:28:00.960 wouldn't pay

00:28:01.940 for them to

00:28:02.660 do it.

00:28:03.600 They'd rather

00:28:04.000 just say,

00:28:04.560 all right,

00:28:05.660 just do what

00:28:06.200 you're going

00:28:06.400 to do.

00:28:07.280 Just speculation,

00:28:08.420 but you should

00:28:09.060 worry when you

00:28:10.460 reach a level

00:28:11.720 of power where

00:28:12.540 people will lie

00:28:13.340 to you.

00:28:14.500 Because I think

00:28:15.160 that's happening

00:28:15.740 probably to a lot

00:28:16.560 of people in

00:28:18.040 power.

00:28:18.660 They just can't

00:28:19.180 get the truth.

00:28:23.920 Politico has

00:28:25.420 this headline,

00:28:26.600 Trump advisors

00:28:27.380 rush to spin

00:28:28.580 off-the-cuff

00:28:29.480 NATO remarks.

00:28:31.400 To spin them.

00:28:32.980 To spin them,

00:28:33.860 you say.

00:28:35.240 So those are

00:28:36.120 the remarks

00:28:36.460 where Trump

00:28:37.540 indicated that

00:28:39.260 he might not

00:28:40.420 support a country

00:28:41.420 that didn't pay

00:28:42.360 up all of its

00:28:43.000 NATO dues.

00:28:44.500 Now,

00:28:46.080 100% of

00:28:48.180 smart people

00:28:48.920 know that he

00:28:50.400 was just

00:28:50.920 saying that

00:28:51.620 to negotiate.

00:28:52.940 It's just

00:28:53.560 the obvious,

00:28:54.480 smart,

00:28:55.840 responsible thing 0.97

00:28:57.640 to do

00:28:58.040 that if you

00:28:59.060 don't pay

00:28:59.540 your bills,

00:29:00.660 we might have

00:29:01.520 to withhold

00:29:02.000 the service.

00:29:03.660 You know,

00:29:03.860 NATO protection.

00:29:05.440 Now,

00:29:06.240 nobody thinks

00:29:07.340 that he would

00:29:08.020 withhold NATO

00:29:08.900 protection

00:29:09.500 if it made

00:29:10.940 a difference

00:29:11.400 to the United

00:29:12.180 States or

00:29:12.760 even Europe.

00:29:13.720 I don't think

00:29:14.460 he would.

00:29:15.500 It would be

00:29:15.940 crazy to think

00:29:16.780 that he would

00:29:17.180 make that

00:29:17.580 decision because

00:29:18.660 somebody was

00:29:19.200 short on their

00:29:19.860 dues.

00:29:21.600 But threatening

00:29:23.180 people to not

00:29:24.140 do it is

00:29:24.880 perfectly acceptable.

00:29:26.780 It's perfectly

00:29:27.680 acceptable because

00:29:28.400 that's the way

00:29:28.800 everything works.

00:29:30.480 If you don't

00:29:31.160 pay, I can't

00:29:32.540 guarantee I'm

00:29:33.200 going to give

00:29:33.500 you the service.

00:29:34.820 That's the way

00:29:35.720 everything works.

00:29:37.760 So, yes,

00:29:38.320 Trump was

00:29:38.720 perfectly reasonable

00:29:40.360 in saying that.

00:29:43.300 But this must

00:29:44.440 be phase two

00:29:45.400 of the NATO

00:29:46.320 funding hoax.

00:29:47.920 So, in phase

00:29:48.480 one, they report

00:29:49.480 that, you know,

00:29:51.000 Trump said

00:29:51.500 something that's

00:29:52.220 in a context

00:29:52.960 and they act

00:29:53.540 like they don't

00:29:54.080 understand what

00:29:54.680 he's saying.

00:29:55.140 That's phase one.

00:29:56.280 In phase two,

00:29:58.260 they act like

00:29:59.060 the people who

00:29:59.760 were explaining

00:30:00.560 that the news

00:30:01.780 is fake,

00:30:03.280 that those

00:30:03.900 people are

00:30:04.380 spinning.

00:30:05.740 So, we've

00:30:06.420 entered phase

00:30:07.000 two of the

00:30:07.600 hoax, where

00:30:09.020 they just say

00:30:09.780 that the people

00:30:10.380 who are debunking

00:30:11.200 the hoax are

00:30:11.680 spinning.

00:30:12.840 It's always

00:30:13.560 here.

00:30:15.400 As soon as

00:30:16.260 the hoax gets

00:30:16.940 debunked, you 0.86

00:30:18.300 can count on

00:30:19.000 the press coming

00:30:19.860 and say, well,

00:30:21.260 look at those

00:30:21.860 crazy debunkers

00:30:22.960 who are trying

00:30:24.580 to spin it

00:30:25.360 and they're

00:30:26.120 trying to

00:30:26.700 torture that

00:30:27.520 story to make

00:30:28.800 it sound like

00:30:29.340 something is not.

00:30:31.100 Or they're just

00:30:32.040 all the smart

00:30:32.720 people who are

00:30:33.140 on the same

00:30:33.560 page.

00:30:35.660 Well, there

00:30:36.320 was a special

00:30:36.920 election last

00:30:38.120 night in

00:30:38.640 Pennsylvania, I

00:30:39.580 guess, and it

00:30:41.160 snowed, so not

00:30:42.160 as many people

00:30:42.720 went to vote in

00:30:43.440 person, but of

00:30:44.340 course, there

00:30:45.260 was a massive

00:30:46.180 difference in

00:30:47.300 mail-in votes,

00:30:48.720 and the early

00:30:49.820 mail-in votes

00:30:50.580 from the

00:30:51.240 Democrats

00:30:51.820 tipped the

00:30:53.160 tide, and so

00:30:54.320 the Democrats

00:30:54.940 were victorious

00:30:55.660 in the special

00:30:56.300 election.

00:30:57.480 Now, did

00:30:58.740 anybody see

00:30:59.260 that coming?

00:30:59.780 could anybody

00:31:02.140 have predicted

00:31:02.780 that there

00:31:03.860 would be an

00:31:04.240 election, and

00:31:05.980 then, I

00:31:06.380 guess, Santos

00:31:07.220 election, same

00:31:08.080 problem?

00:31:09.120 Could anybody

00:31:09.880 predict that

00:31:10.680 massive mail-in

00:31:12.480 voting would

00:31:14.540 tip the

00:31:15.760 election to a

00:31:16.460 Democrat?

00:31:16.760 That was kind

00:31:18.540 of predictable.

00:31:19.940 Kind of

00:31:20.520 predictable.

00:31:21.520 Yeah.

00:31:22.040 And we're

00:31:22.820 going to go

00:31:23.180 into a major

00:31:23.940 election, and

00:31:26.120 we don't

00:31:27.480 have an

00:31:28.080 election system

00:31:29.020 that I would

00:31:29.540 consider even a

00:31:30.560 little bit

00:31:30.920 credible, and

00:31:33.540 we're going to

00:31:33.900 be okay with

00:31:34.460 that.

00:31:36.160 We should

00:31:37.000 definitely cancel

00:31:38.360 the election.

00:31:39.900 Now, I don't

00:31:40.980 mean cancel

00:31:41.620 democracy, but

00:31:43.140 we should cancel

00:31:43.780 the election until

00:31:44.500 we have a system

00:31:45.340 that the public

00:31:46.500 trusts, whatever

00:31:49.200 that takes.

00:31:50.480 All right.

00:31:51.740 There is new

00:31:52.580 information that

00:31:53.300 there are AI

00:31:53.980 bots that are

00:31:54.900 going to

00:31:57.520 interfere with the

00:31:58.440 election.

00:31:58.760 Now, an AI bot

00:31:59.580 could come from

00:32:01.700 anywhere, and it

00:32:02.620 could interact with

00:32:03.420 you on social

00:32:04.320 media, and

00:32:05.300 because it's AI, it

00:32:07.240 might do a much

00:32:08.020 better job of

00:32:08.780 interfering with an

00:32:09.560 election than a

00:32:10.480 human would, because

00:32:11.720 it could work all

00:32:12.440 day and night, and

00:32:13.480 it could enter every

00:32:14.680 comment, and it

00:32:16.440 could do all that

00:32:17.260 stuff.

00:32:17.920 But I'm wondering

00:32:18.560 if there isn't an

00:32:19.440 AI bot solution to

00:32:21.580 all the hoaxes.

00:32:23.360 Wouldn't it be nice

00:32:24.300 to have an AI bot

00:32:25.480 that scoured the

00:32:27.140 internet for

00:32:27.660 anybody who is

00:32:29.500 pushing a hoax, and

00:32:31.620 then it just left a

00:32:32.540 comment with really

00:32:33.820 good sources debunking

00:32:35.360 the hoax, and just

00:32:36.960 did every time, because

00:32:38.820 it would be AI, so

00:32:39.940 it would be working,

00:32:40.640 you know, 24 hours a

00:32:41.620 day every time

00:32:42.700 anybody mentioned

00:32:43.360 it.

00:32:43.920 Boom, first

00:32:44.580 comment, here's

00:32:45.640 the debunk.

00:32:47.900 I feel like that's

00:32:49.000 inevitable, right?

00:32:49.660 Yeah, so you've got

00:32:54.760 the AI bots, you've

00:32:55.880 got the mail-in

00:32:56.520 ballots.

00:32:57.560 Here's a question I

00:32:58.620 asked.

00:32:59.580 I said, what's the

00:33:01.320 point of electronic

00:33:02.080 voting machines?

00:33:03.860 Now, I've got a, my

00:33:05.600 background is

00:33:06.880 economics, you know,

00:33:08.140 I've got an economics

00:33:08.820 degree, an MBA, so I

00:33:10.920 tend to see things as

00:33:12.160 business models, you

00:33:14.100 know, look at through

00:33:14.760 an economic filter at

00:33:15.860 most things.

00:33:16.400 But why is it that

00:33:18.720 we have electronic

00:33:19.380 voting machines?

00:33:20.580 I could think of

00:33:21.600 seven possible

00:33:23.040 reasons.

00:33:24.880 See if any of these

00:33:26.260 seven reasons for

00:33:27.840 having electronic

00:33:28.720 machines sounds good

00:33:30.480 to you.

00:33:31.300 Are they faster?

00:33:33.880 Are they faster?

00:33:36.500 Are they more

00:33:37.780 credible to voters?

00:33:39.260 Are voters more

00:33:39.960 likely to believe them

00:33:41.060 than other ways?

00:33:43.300 Are they safer from

00:33:44.700 cheating?

00:33:45.020 Is it harder to

00:33:46.700 cheat?

00:33:48.580 Are they more

00:33:49.460 accurate?

00:33:52.660 Are they more

00:33:54.100 easily audited?

00:33:55.940 So if anything goes

00:33:56.900 wrong, you can find

00:33:58.000 out what went wrong

00:33:58.980 really fast.

00:34:00.860 Are they less

00:34:01.820 expensive than, let's

00:34:03.320 say, paper ballots?

00:34:05.900 Are they easier to

00:34:07.200 manage and maintain?

00:34:09.740 Now, those would be

00:34:10.680 seven reasons.

00:34:11.620 Are any of those

00:34:12.380 seven reasons true?

00:34:13.340 I don't, I'm not

00:34:16.080 aware that they

00:34:16.660 would be true because

00:34:18.080 I can't imagine

00:34:18.760 they're faster, more

00:34:19.660 credible, safer, more

00:34:21.000 accurate, more

00:34:22.140 auditable, less

00:34:22.800 expensive, easier to

00:34:24.040 manage.

00:34:25.680 Now, Joel pointed

00:34:27.220 out that where there

00:34:28.500 are exclusively paper

00:34:30.500 ballots, it may be in

00:34:32.640 places where they're

00:34:33.380 only voting for a

00:34:34.260 party.

00:34:34.740 So it's more of a,

00:34:35.980 you know, two

00:34:36.860 situations.

00:34:37.460 Whereas we have

00:34:39.000 lots of, you know,

00:34:40.520 lots of sub things

00:34:42.280 to vote on.

00:34:43.200 So our voting is

00:34:44.800 complicated.

00:34:45.740 So maybe that

00:34:46.700 wouldn't work on

00:34:47.340 paper.

00:34:48.500 Well, it wouldn't

00:34:49.180 work as well.

00:34:51.200 But he's saying it

00:34:52.100 wouldn't work.

00:34:54.200 I mean, if I had, if

00:34:55.380 I had one piece of

00:34:56.200 paper that had

00:34:56.700 everybody's votes, I

00:34:58.820 feel like I could

00:34:59.620 count that, no matter

00:35:01.300 how many there were.

00:35:02.200 Might need some extra

00:35:03.080 people to do it.

00:35:07.340 But in my opinion, it

00:35:09.780 looks far more likely

00:35:10.800 that the purpose of

00:35:12.000 an electronic voting

00:35:12.800 machine is to cheat.

00:35:15.460 It looks like it's

00:35:16.460 designed for cheating.

00:35:17.600 It doesn't look like

00:35:18.320 it's designed for the

00:35:20.220 obvious benefits of

00:35:21.300 automation.

00:35:22.660 You know, automation

00:35:23.260 usually has really

00:35:24.180 obvious benefits.

00:35:25.260 Save money, faster,

00:35:27.140 more accurate, that

00:35:28.080 sort of thing.

00:35:28.920 But since none of

00:35:29.800 those things are obvious

00:35:31.100 to the voters,

00:35:33.080 it looks like the

00:35:33.840 system is designed to

00:35:34.940 cheat.

00:35:36.000 Now, can I say that

00:35:37.200 that's actually true?

00:35:38.440 No.

00:35:39.540 No.

00:35:40.180 Because I can't prove

00:35:41.180 it.

00:35:41.880 But as an observer and

00:35:43.600 as a citizen, I look at

00:35:45.820 the facts that I do

00:35:47.020 know.

00:35:48.000 And even with Joel's,

00:35:49.860 you know, context that

00:35:52.260 it might be hard to do if

00:35:53.360 you have a lot of issues

00:35:54.200 on the ballot, I don't

00:35:56.920 get it.

00:35:58.160 I still think you

00:35:59.380 could do it.

00:36:00.380 And that if your

00:36:01.940 alternative is to do

00:36:03.460 something that isn't

00:36:04.340 credible to the

00:36:05.720 voters, you should do

00:36:08.200 the extra work to do

00:36:09.140 it.

00:36:10.240 Now, what about the

00:36:11.360 mail-in ballots?

00:36:13.300 What would be the

00:36:14.360 purpose of mail-in

00:36:15.480 ballots?

00:36:17.200 Well, if you asked,

00:36:18.600 people would say it's

00:36:19.560 to make sure that you

00:36:21.560 have enough

00:36:22.120 participation.

00:36:24.180 Now, I certainly

00:36:24.980 understand if you're in

00:36:25.860 the military, you're out

00:36:26.820 of the country.

00:36:27.300 I understand if you're

00:36:28.800 disabled.

00:36:30.100 I don't think anybody

00:36:31.000 would argue with any of

00:36:31.860 that.

00:36:33.000 You know, there are

00:36:33.400 special cases where you

00:36:35.040 should be able to vote and

00:36:36.460 you just legitimately can't

00:36:38.080 get there.

00:36:38.920 So those people should have

00:36:40.280 an option, for sure.

00:36:42.160 But what is the argument

00:36:43.360 for the other people?

00:36:45.620 And now you say to yourself,

00:36:47.240 but Scott, the argument is

00:36:48.460 very clear.

00:36:49.720 It increases voter

00:36:51.020 participation.

00:36:51.740 To which I say, can you

00:36:55.300 point me to a country that

00:36:57.520 does only same-day voting

00:36:59.240 and the public is unhappy

00:37:02.460 because they didn't have

00:37:04.500 mail-in ballots?

00:37:06.160 Does that exist?

00:37:07.940 Anywhere in the world?

00:37:11.360 Anywhere in the world?

00:37:12.880 Are there people saying, you

00:37:14.160 know, I would have trusted

00:37:16.020 our election outcome.

00:37:17.780 My only problem was there

00:37:19.820 were mail-in, there were no

00:37:21.660 mail-in ballots.

00:37:24.020 I don't think that exists.

00:37:26.160 As far as I know, it's

00:37:27.620 solving a problem that the

00:37:28.840 public doesn't believe is a

00:37:30.060 problem.

00:37:31.700 Because they wouldn't say the

00:37:33.260 election was rigged.

00:37:35.320 At most, they would say, I

00:37:36.720 didn't bother to vote.

00:37:39.060 Am I wrong about that?

00:37:40.880 If you weren't one of the

00:37:42.060 people who was a shut-in for

00:37:45.060 health reasons, you're not in

00:37:47.160 the military.

00:37:48.560 You had the option to drive

00:37:50.820 in and vote, and you just

00:37:53.020 decided not to, do you

00:37:54.840 complain about the outcome

00:37:55.900 then?

00:37:57.460 Not as much.

00:37:58.660 And you certainly wouldn't say

00:37:59.740 the problem was I didn't get

00:38:01.000 to mail-in my vote.

00:38:03.680 Like, you might complain on a

00:38:05.160 personal level, but you

00:38:06.820 wouldn't think that it changed

00:38:07.940 the outcome of the election

00:38:08.980 just by its nature.

00:38:10.780 So, in my opinion, the mail-in

00:38:16.020 voting and the electronic voting

00:38:18.120 machines are signals that the

00:38:24.080 people in charge of our system

00:38:25.520 prefer cheating over a credible

00:38:28.460 system.

00:38:29.980 Is that too far?

00:38:32.960 Now, I'm not saying that I could

00:38:34.400 read their mind, because I can't.

00:38:36.040 I'm saying that the signal they're

00:38:38.900 sending is a fraud.

00:38:41.920 That doesn't mean I can identify

00:38:43.820 any specific fraud.

00:38:45.460 I'm saying that everything about

00:38:47.540 this looks like somebody is

00:38:49.120 intentional creating a situation

00:38:52.320 to control the elections.

00:38:53.940 It doesn't look like it's even

00:38:55.340 designed.

00:38:56.540 It doesn't even look like a good

00:38:57.820 try to make a fair election.

00:39:01.080 It doesn't look like a good try.

00:39:02.520 If somebody tried, and it was

00:39:04.920 obviously tried, and they

00:39:05.860 failed, then I'd say, well, that's

00:39:08.020 just, you know, a capability

00:39:09.160 problem.

00:39:10.200 But if you design it so it

00:39:11.800 clearly looks like it's designed

00:39:14.860 for cheating, what would you

00:39:17.960 expect the public to do?

00:39:20.520 How are you supposed to expect us

00:39:22.400 to react when you design a

00:39:24.320 system that, on the surface, looks

00:39:27.740 like it's designed for cheating?

00:39:28.940 You could ignore that if you

00:39:32.680 want.

00:39:34.040 I don't know why you would.

00:39:36.180 In a world in which every system

00:39:38.800 and, you know, bureaucracy and

00:39:41.600 department is corrupt, you know, it

00:39:44.660 seems like every one, that would be

00:39:46.460 a lot to accept in your election

00:39:48.520 systems, that it's the only one not

00:39:50.040 corrupt.

00:39:52.700 And let's see, Rasmussen Report,

00:39:55.300 backing up my opinion, says, it

00:39:58.760 showed some data that says that the

00:40:02.340 public doesn't think the mail-in

00:40:04.360 ballots are, you know, necessary, and

00:40:06.560 it looks like it's an opportunity

00:40:07.900 for cheating.

00:40:09.140 So, yes, the public doesn't think

00:40:11.000 there's a problem that needs to be

00:40:12.520 solved.

00:40:13.520 It's the government telling you it

00:40:14.960 needs to be solved.

00:40:16.020 And that's a huge red flag.

00:40:18.440 If the government is solving

00:40:19.820 problems that the people don't

00:40:21.240 recognize as problems, that's a

00:40:24.420 problem.

00:40:24.700 All right, there's some reporting.

00:40:28.060 Who knows if it's true that Putin

00:40:30.820 proposed in late 2023 for a ceasefire?

00:40:36.080 And it looks like Biden didn't want

00:40:37.800 anything to do with it, or whoever's

00:40:39.240 running the country didn't want

00:40:40.300 anything to do with it.

00:40:41.860 Now, do you think that if we had said

00:40:43.500 yes to a ceasefire in 2023, that we

00:40:48.020 would have ended the war in a way that

00:40:50.440 will be very much like however it ends,

00:40:52.580 whenever it ends?

00:40:53.260 I think so.

00:40:56.740 If we had said yes, we probably would

00:40:58.680 already be done.

00:41:01.000 I think.

00:41:02.500 Now, just to make things interesting,

00:41:04.620 Ukraine took out a Russian, some kind of

00:41:08.000 a landing ship or something, and they did

00:41:12.340 it with some drones.

00:41:13.460 And now they're saying that they've taken

00:41:17.260 out a third of Russia's Black Sea fleet

00:41:19.880 with their drones.

00:41:21.340 I don't know if I believe any of that data,

00:41:23.780 but Ukraine is, you know, picking up the

00:41:27.060 pressure.

00:41:28.840 So, anyway.

00:41:30.940 Does it look to you like our government

00:41:35.360 wants this to be solved in the way that

00:41:37.860 it should be solved, which is some kind of

00:41:39.980 negotiated settlement?

00:41:41.460 It does not.

00:41:43.000 Our government is sending us every signal

00:41:45.060 that whatever is the reason for this war,

00:41:48.400 it's not what they're telling us.

00:41:50.900 It doesn't have anything to do with Ukraine.

00:41:53.260 Because I think it's obvious that Ukraine

00:41:55.240 would be better off ending it right away.

00:41:59.000 Isn't it?

00:41:59.620 Isn't it 100% obvious that the Ukrainian 0.95

00:42:03.340 people would be better off negotiating it

00:42:05.260 into this right away, even if they end up

00:42:07.940 being ruled by Putin?

00:42:11.740 Because Putin has very high approval.

00:42:15.300 You know, I'm sure he's, you know, done

00:42:17.920 bad things, and that, you know, that's all

00:42:20.260 true, but he has a very high approval

00:42:24.580 record, if we were to believe that data.

00:42:27.240 So, would the Ukrainian people 0.72

00:42:29.800 be that worse off?

00:42:32.620 Because right now, they've got a leader

00:42:34.140 who's kind of sketchy

00:42:35.580 and sending all the young people to die. 0.97

00:42:39.020 You don't get any worse than that.

00:42:40.860 And he's gaining nothing in it.

00:42:43.340 They didn't get any extra land.

00:42:46.620 So, all right.

00:42:48.600 So, keep an eye on that.

00:42:49.800 I would say everything about that war is corrupt,

00:42:51.600 and if we give them a penny more,

00:42:53.240 it's a huge mistake.

00:42:56.980 Well, there's a story that there might be a reason

00:42:59.580 the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago.

00:43:02.680 Do you remember when you thought to yourself,

00:43:04.700 hey, I wonder if the real reason

00:43:06.880 that Mar-a-Lago, those, you know,

00:43:09.340 the boxes there, the secret documents,

00:43:11.860 maybe the real reason is that there was something

00:43:13.820 they were looking for

00:43:14.800 that Trump had that would embarrass them.

00:43:17.320 Well, we don't know for sure,

00:43:20.740 but there's some reporting saying

00:43:22.140 that there's a, quote, missing binder

00:43:24.600 that would have proven that the CIA

00:43:27.780 was behind the Russia collusion hoax.

00:43:33.180 So, Michael Schellenberger,

00:43:34.940 and I think Matt Taibbi is involved with this,

00:43:37.380 are now reporting that John Brennan,

00:43:40.700 who was the head of CIA at the time,

00:43:44.640 got our allied countries,

00:43:47.320 to spy on 26 Trump associates

00:43:50.200 because that would make it legal

00:43:52.980 for America to look at them, too.

00:43:56.260 So, the reporting is

00:43:59.440 that we now have documented proof

00:44:01.860 that the CIA asked our allied countries,

00:44:06.620 you know, the main allies

00:44:08.020 that we always deal with for intelligence,

00:44:11.120 and asked them, gave them a list

00:44:13.000 of 26 people to spy on who are Americans.

00:44:15.440 Let me say that again.

00:44:19.360 Our own country gave foreign countries, 0.80

00:44:23.060 the Five Eyes people,

00:44:24.940 gave them a list of American citizens

00:44:27.980 who had committed no crimes

00:44:30.320 to spy on

00:44:32.280 for the purpose of then making it legal

00:44:35.860 for Americans to spy on them, too,

00:44:38.640 because the foreigners would write up reports

00:44:43.220 that made it sound like

00:44:44.760 there was something suspicious going on.

00:44:47.420 And that would be enough

00:44:48.460 for the Americans to have cause

00:44:50.380 to go through a legal process

00:44:52.380 to spy on them as well.

00:44:54.520 And that the only point of it

00:44:57.400 was to find things

00:44:59.920 that they could embarrass

00:45:01.140 and keep Trump out of office.

00:45:05.640 So,

00:45:07.740 and then the CIA

00:45:11.760 took those reports

00:45:13.060 and fed it to the FBI

00:45:14.500 who started the crossfire hurricane thing.

00:45:19.420 Now, and then maybe

00:45:20.940 Trump had that, you know,

00:45:23.320 binder that had that evidence,

00:45:24.920 and maybe

00:45:26.320 the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago

00:45:29.060 just to take that out of circulation.

00:45:32.960 Now, that part

00:45:33.820 seems a little iffy to me.

00:45:35.860 I'm not sure I would go all the way to

00:45:37.460 that's the Mar-a-Lago thing.

00:45:39.540 But you have to put it in the mix.

00:45:42.220 Yet you have to assume it's possible.

00:45:47.300 At the same time,

00:45:48.660 Tony Bobulinski,

00:45:51.880 who is Hunter's business party,

00:45:54.240 partner,

00:45:54.740 is testifying again yesterday.

00:45:57.080 And he confirmed

00:45:58.500 a lot of what we've heard before,

00:46:00.680 that the big guy was Biden,

00:46:03.100 that the only product was Biden,

00:46:05.320 and that the big Chinese energy company

00:46:08.180 gave Biden so much money

00:46:11.900 that it suggests

00:46:13.720 that they're beholden to China.

00:46:15.820 So,

00:46:18.420 that's amazing.

00:46:22.580 Does it seem to you

00:46:23.720 that every suspicion

00:46:26.100 you ever had was true?

00:46:29.180 You know,

00:46:29.480 climate change looks as sketchy

00:46:31.120 as you thought.

00:46:34.960 Everything about the war in Ukraine

00:46:37.700 is exactly as sketchy

00:46:39.420 as you thought.

00:46:40.540 That it looks like

00:46:41.380 it's just a money laundering operation.

00:46:43.240 It's completely crooked.

00:46:44.340 It has nothing to do

00:46:45.100 with what's good for Ukrainians.

00:46:47.380 None of that.

00:46:50.320 You know,

00:46:50.940 the media people getting fired

00:46:53.420 for probably all fake reasons.

00:46:55.980 I don't think there's anything

00:46:57.120 that's not corrupt at this point.

00:46:58.700 It looks like

00:46:59.620 just everything's corrupt.

00:47:01.580 Maybe it always was.

00:47:03.500 And we didn't notice.

00:47:04.500 I don't know.

00:47:06.740 Here's another example.

00:47:07.820 did you know that

00:47:09.460 Biden refusing

00:47:11.280 or not taking

00:47:12.620 a cognitive test

00:47:13.900 as part of his annual exam,

00:47:16.660 he would be the first

00:47:17.820 U.S. president in history

00:47:18.920 to refuse a cognitive exam.

00:47:22.900 Now,

00:47:23.380 that's all you need to know,

00:47:24.420 isn't it?

00:47:26.820 That's all you need to know.

00:47:28.920 If he's not willing

00:47:29.940 to take a cognitive exam,

00:47:31.460 it's obviously

00:47:32.360 because he's going to fail it

00:47:34.140 and he knows it.

00:47:34.900 Now,

00:47:36.820 if you were Biden,

00:47:39.640 wouldn't you at least

00:47:40.340 take the exam

00:47:41.200 and then sit on it

00:47:42.360 if it was the wrong result?

00:47:45.280 I feel like you'd take

00:47:46.540 a practice one,

00:47:47.460 wouldn't you?

00:47:48.380 You know what I mean?

00:47:49.820 Maybe off the record.

00:47:51.680 You know,

00:47:51.820 maybe the doctor said,

00:47:53.400 look,

00:47:54.460 you know,

00:47:54.740 you're going to have to take

00:47:55.560 a cognitive exam later.

00:47:57.880 This isn't the real one.

00:47:59.840 It's exactly like the real one,

00:48:01.540 but it's just practice

00:48:03.140 just to get a sense

00:48:04.920 of how you might do

00:48:05.700 if you did a real one.

00:48:07.260 And then let's say

00:48:07.860 he fails the practice one.

00:48:09.860 Then the doctor can say,

00:48:11.060 I didn't give him

00:48:11.620 a cognitive exam.

00:48:13.440 No.

00:48:13.820 I gave him a practice exam

00:48:15.640 so he'd be familiar with it

00:48:18.340 when he saw the real thing.

00:48:20.080 Right?

00:48:21.400 Now,

00:48:21.780 I'm not saying that happened.

00:48:22.680 I'm saying that

00:48:24.120 I'm saying that

00:48:28.660 it's very sketchy

00:48:30.620 that they're not going to give

00:48:32.260 the one person

00:48:32.960 who has obvious cognitive decline

00:48:34.860 a cognitive test.

00:48:37.100 It's exactly what it looks like.

00:48:39.480 However,

00:48:40.180 I would like to offer

00:48:40.980 this possibility.

00:48:43.160 That if Biden did

00:48:44.300 decide to do

00:48:45.660 a cognitive test,

00:48:47.480 it would probably be rigged.

00:48:50.680 He'd probably try

00:48:51.620 to rig the results.

00:48:53.660 And here's the questions

00:48:54.960 I think would be

00:48:55.680 on his cognitive test.

00:48:57.500 It'd be a three-question test.

00:48:59.860 Number one,

00:49:00.600 which of these people

00:49:01.540 is the one they call Jill?

00:49:04.600 That'd be question number one.

00:49:07.560 Question number two is,

00:49:09.180 how does C-3PO walk demonstrate?

00:49:14.720 And then number three,

00:49:15.960 do you like ice cream?

00:49:17.220 Now, I think if he were asked

00:49:19.100 those three questions,

00:49:20.240 he'd probably nail it.

00:49:21.160 So I do expect

00:49:23.180 if he takes a cognitive test,

00:49:25.220 it will be rigged.

00:49:28.180 Anyway.

00:49:32.180 The special counsel

00:49:34.540 reported, of course,

00:49:36.440 that Biden had poor memory

00:49:38.160 and was forgetting stuff

00:49:40.660 because he's an old man.

00:49:41.840 So the Republicans

00:49:43.400 cleverly said,

00:49:44.840 why don't you show us

00:49:45.700 that transcript?

00:49:47.060 The public needs to see

00:49:48.060 that transcript.

00:49:50.500 And apparently

00:49:52.960 that will not be released,

00:49:54.560 at least as of now.

00:49:56.000 Maybe later we'll get it,

00:49:57.740 but there's some resistance

00:49:58.660 to getting that.

00:49:59.460 However,

00:50:03.560 shout out to

00:50:04.540 Jon Stewart

00:50:05.480 on The Daily Show

00:50:06.460 who quite cleverly

00:50:08.180 showed the video

00:50:08.960 from Trump's depositions

00:50:10.660 in which he was saying

00:50:12.080 he doesn't remember

00:50:13.040 a variety of things

00:50:14.640 that you think

00:50:15.040 a person should remember.

00:50:17.720 Now, I don't think

00:50:18.540 he was necessarily lying,

00:50:20.520 although he may have

00:50:21.780 not wanted to commit

00:50:24.220 to anything

00:50:24.620 he wasn't 100% sure of,

00:50:26.140 so he might say

00:50:26.780 he doesn't remember.

00:50:27.620 That would just be

00:50:28.580 a good strategy.

00:50:30.240 But I would agree

00:50:32.660 that the confusing

00:50:34.680 of names

00:50:35.360 and the forgetting

00:50:36.180 of dates

00:50:36.780 is not super indicative

00:50:39.820 of cognitive decline.

00:50:42.360 It could be,

00:50:44.100 but not by itself.

00:50:46.420 So I'd really like

00:50:48.100 to see the transcript too

00:50:49.500 because I'm open

00:50:50.680 to the possibility

00:50:51.520 that it was exaggerated.

00:50:54.280 If you saw the transcript,

00:50:56.300 do you think

00:50:56.660 you would have

00:50:57.160 the same feeling?

00:50:59.920 Because you know

00:51:00.540 the part where he said

00:51:01.780 he didn't remember

00:51:02.580 when his son died?

00:51:05.900 I don't believe that.

00:51:08.200 I mean,

00:51:08.420 it was reported

00:51:08.900 that he didn't know

00:51:09.540 when his son died?

00:51:11.840 I don't believe that.

00:51:13.980 I don't believe it at all.

00:51:15.740 I believe he knew

00:51:16.760 when he died.

00:51:18.040 I think he maybe

00:51:19.160 misheard the question

00:51:20.440 or he was tired

00:51:21.540 because there are times

00:51:24.080 when there are things

00:51:25.380 I know I know

00:51:26.200 that I can't recall

00:51:27.660 at the moment

00:51:28.220 and then later

00:51:29.240 I'm like,

00:51:29.820 oh, obviously.

00:51:31.320 You know,

00:51:31.480 like dates of things.

00:51:33.140 Every now and then

00:51:33.880 I can't remember

00:51:34.440 a date of something

00:51:35.200 important in my life

00:51:36.200 but then like

00:51:37.400 a few days will go by

00:51:38.500 and they're like,

00:51:39.460 oh, obviously

00:51:40.320 that was 2004

00:51:41.480 and now I remember.

00:51:43.200 So,

00:51:43.860 I'd really like

00:51:45.360 to know more

00:51:46.020 because I do think

00:51:47.360 there is some chance

00:51:48.440 that we've been misled

00:51:50.400 about how bad it was.

00:51:52.240 What we see in public

00:51:53.420 is bad enough

00:51:54.140 to want him removed

00:51:55.200 from office,

00:51:55.980 obviously.

00:51:57.000 But I'd like to know

00:51:57.940 what does happen

00:51:58.620 in those transcripts.

00:52:01.820 Vivek is doubling down

00:52:04.400 and he said

00:52:06.040 on the X platform,

00:52:08.420 I set it up

00:52:09.020 to debate three months ago

00:52:10.000 and I'll say it again,

00:52:10.820 Biden isn't going

00:52:11.620 to be the nominee.

00:52:13.200 The Democrats

00:52:13.780 need to fess up 0.98

00:52:14.820 on the plan

00:52:16.060 and tell the truth

00:52:16.820 about what's really happening.

00:52:19.380 Well,

00:52:20.180 I think he's

00:52:21.400 obviously right.

00:52:23.260 To me,

00:52:24.000 it seems obvious

00:52:24.820 that the Democrats

00:52:26.420 have not decided

00:52:28.220 he's going to be

00:52:28.780 the nominee

00:52:29.260 for the obvious reasons

00:52:30.780 and that they're

00:52:33.060 working on

00:52:33.660 alternate plans.

00:52:35.120 But I doubt

00:52:35.880 that they've agreed

00:52:36.580 on one.

00:52:38.020 So,

00:52:38.640 my guess

00:52:40.040 is that the Democrats

00:52:41.100 are like everybody

00:52:41.780 else in the world

00:52:42.620 and there's just

00:52:44.820 lots of different opinions

00:52:45.860 and so

00:52:47.320 when it looks,

00:52:49.700 you know,

00:52:49.920 if it looks to you

00:52:50.680 like they've all

00:52:52.760 made some kind

00:52:53.460 of like master plan,

00:52:55.100 it's probably closer

00:52:56.300 to they're still

00:52:57.140 fighting it out

00:52:57.840 because they can't agree.

00:52:59.440 Because whoever

00:53:00.260 they decide

00:53:00.900 is the president

00:53:01.640 or the candidate

00:53:03.180 in place of Biden

00:53:04.860 would give

00:53:06.220 some group

00:53:06.960 of Democrats

00:53:07.900 more power

00:53:08.720 than others.

00:53:10.320 Let me say

00:53:11.000 that again.

00:53:11.440 whoever Democrats

00:53:13.800 decide will be

00:53:14.580 the candidate

00:53:15.320 if they replace

00:53:16.360 Biden,

00:53:17.600 whoever that person

00:53:18.360 is is going to

00:53:18.940 have more connections

00:53:20.460 to some subset

00:53:22.300 of the Democrat

00:53:22.940 world than

00:53:23.820 to the other part.

00:53:25.440 So,

00:53:26.080 I would think

00:53:26.480 that each of

00:53:27.320 the power centers

00:53:29.020 within the Democratic

00:53:30.380 Party

00:53:30.840 would be pushing

00:53:32.300 hard for their

00:53:32.920 own preferred

00:53:33.640 candidate.

00:53:34.840 So,

00:53:35.100 there's got to

00:53:35.580 be people

00:53:36.020 pushing for

00:53:36.700 Gavin,

00:53:37.300 people pushing

00:53:37.900 for any number

00:53:39.540 of other people,

00:53:40.260 Hillary,

00:53:40.880 who knows.

00:53:42.000 So,

00:53:42.520 I think it's

00:53:43.060 lack of,

00:53:44.080 I think it's

00:53:46.080 lack of agreement

00:53:46.980 that's keeping

00:53:48.420 Biden running.

00:53:50.060 That plus the fact

00:53:51.240 that nobody can

00:53:51.900 tell him to quit

00:53:52.520 if he doesn't

00:53:53.020 want to.

00:53:54.120 Because,

00:53:54.680 you know,

00:53:55.640 oh,

00:53:55.820 you're saying

00:53:56.180 Mark Cuban?

00:53:57.200 I don't think so,

00:53:58.260 but anything's

00:53:58.780 possible.

00:54:02.120 So,

00:54:03.120 yeah,

00:54:05.300 that's what

00:54:06.040 we got going

00:54:06.520 on there.

00:54:08.900 Oh,

00:54:09.380 my God,

00:54:09.840 did I cover

00:54:10.340 everything

00:54:10.840 that's happening

00:54:11.560 today

00:54:11.920 so succinctly

00:54:13.880 and so clever

00:54:15.180 that I got

00:54:17.500 done in an

00:54:18.080 hour?

00:54:19.160 My God,

00:54:19.920 I'm good at

00:54:20.380 this.

00:54:21.300 There was so

00:54:21.800 much today

00:54:22.300 that I actually

00:54:22.820 wondered if I

00:54:23.460 could get

00:54:23.780 through it in an

00:54:24.380 hour and a half,

00:54:24.900 so I was kind

00:54:25.320 of rushing,

00:54:26.740 but I overrushed.

00:54:32.520 Biden forgot

00:54:33.180 the year of his

00:54:33.940 Corvette.

00:54:34.640 yeah,

00:54:37.020 I mean,

00:54:37.280 to me that

00:54:37.680 doesn't seem

00:54:38.160 like an

00:54:40.460 abnormal

00:54:40.920 thing.

00:54:42.460 That wouldn't

00:54:43.080 be abnormal

00:54:43.600 for me.

00:54:44.320 I would forget

00:54:44.800 the name

00:54:45.200 year of my

00:54:46.060 car all the

00:54:46.560 time,

00:54:47.060 even if it

00:54:47.740 was a

00:54:47.980 classic car.

00:54:48.960 I would

00:54:49.280 forget the

00:54:49.760 year.

00:54:51.300 You wouldn't

00:54:52.220 believe the

00:54:52.660 things I forget,

00:54:54.020 and I'm still

00:54:54.740 reasonably functional,

00:54:55.980 and it doesn't

00:54:57.160 seem to be age

00:54:57.840 related,

00:54:59.120 because it was

00:54:59.700 always like

00:55:00.100 that.

00:55:04.080 All right,

00:55:06.260 how many of

00:55:06.940 you have a

00:55:07.640 Valentine's date

00:55:09.460 in the comments?

00:55:12.620 Who's got a

00:55:13.400 Valentine's date?

00:55:15.500 How many of

00:55:16.420 you have been

00:55:16.940 brainwashed by

00:55:17.760 the system to

00:55:19.140 believe that you

00:55:19.800 must put on a

00:55:21.000 show of love on

00:55:23.000 this date

00:55:23.540 specifically, and

00:55:25.020 it must be

00:55:25.540 accompanied with

00:55:26.400 merchandise?

00:55:27.920 Because that's

00:55:28.640 the way you show

00:55:29.220 your love with

00:55:30.540 your merch.

00:55:35.980 Well, I'm

00:55:38.060 happy for you

00:55:38.760 if you've got

00:55:39.440 a Valentine.

00:55:42.040 Better than

00:55:42.720 not having one,

00:55:43.380 I guess.

00:55:48.640 So how many

00:55:49.540 of you have

00:55:50.080 convinced your

00:55:50.840 spouse not to

00:55:52.180 celebrate the

00:55:52.800 day?

00:55:57.860 I tried that

00:55:58.800 once.

00:56:01.160 Would you

00:56:01.660 like to hear

00:56:02.100 how my

00:56:02.460 experience went?

00:56:06.340 I'm pretty

00:56:06.940 sure Christina

00:56:08.060 wouldn't mind me

00:56:08.860 telling this

00:56:09.300 story.

00:56:10.220 I don't think

00:56:11.040 this would

00:56:11.380 embarrass her.

00:56:11.900 I think she'd

00:56:12.300 be fine with

00:56:12.820 it.

00:56:13.620 So in my

00:56:15.000 prior marriage,

00:56:15.960 my more

00:56:17.420 recently ended

00:56:18.120 marriage of my

00:56:19.020 two, I

00:56:20.700 thought I was

00:56:21.160 going to be

00:56:21.460 clever. 0.51

00:56:21.740 and so

00:56:23.160 right out

00:56:23.900 of the

00:56:24.260 shoot,

00:56:25.300 way before

00:56:26.100 Valentine's

00:56:27.080 Day, like

00:56:27.680 nowhere near

00:56:28.280 it, I

00:56:29.140 started saying

00:56:29.860 I do not

00:56:30.520 celebrate

00:56:31.120 artificial

00:56:31.960 holidays.

00:56:33.400 I will be

00:56:34.240 generous and

00:56:35.100 nice to you

00:56:35.660 every day,

00:56:36.600 but I will

00:56:37.640 not be forced

00:56:38.440 to celebrate

00:56:39.300 Thanksgiving.

00:56:40.700 And to her

00:56:41.180 credit, and

00:56:42.820 you know, one

00:56:43.460 of the things I

00:56:44.040 found attractive

00:56:45.460 about her was

00:56:47.000 that she

00:56:47.440 absolutely

00:56:48.100 agreed.

00:56:48.540 and I

00:56:49.900 thought, wow,

00:56:51.100 I found my

00:56:52.360 soulmate.

00:56:53.680 I found a

00:56:54.300 woman who,

00:56:55.500 you know,

00:56:55.880 doesn't put a

00:56:56.700 high, you

00:56:58.160 know, any

00:56:58.480 kind of

00:56:58.820 importance on

00:56:59.760 Valentine's

00:57:00.380 Day.

00:57:01.240 And I

00:57:01.860 thought to

00:57:02.180 myself, I

00:57:03.760 might be the

00:57:04.600 smartest man in

00:57:05.720 America because

00:57:06.800 I beat the

00:57:07.360 system.

00:57:08.760 Now, how do

00:57:10.500 you think it

00:57:10.940 went on

00:57:11.540 Valentine's

00:57:12.160 Day when I

00:57:12.580 didn't have

00:57:12.920 a gift?

00:57:15.940 Just about

00:57:16.720 the way you

00:57:17.520 think.

00:57:18.540 It turns

00:57:21.600 out that the

00:57:22.400 theory of

00:57:23.440 not exchanging

00:57:24.300 a gift on

00:57:25.060 Valentine's

00:57:26.020 Day is very

00:57:26.640 attractive because

00:57:27.940 nobody wants to

00:57:28.720 think that they're

00:57:29.260 forced into

00:57:30.000 being romantic.

00:57:33.240 But when it's

00:57:34.080 the actual

00:57:34.600 day and

00:57:36.720 everybody you

00:57:37.540 know got a

00:57:38.060 present but

00:57:38.600 you, it's

00:57:43.480 just not a

00:57:44.040 good relationship

00:57:44.920 situation.

00:57:46.220 It's just

00:57:46.620 not.

00:57:46.980 so I'm

00:57:49.180 not criticizing

00:57:49.920 her.

00:57:50.460 I think that

00:57:50.900 every woman in

00:57:51.600 America probably 0.60

00:57:53.000 wants to get

00:57:53.620 something on

00:57:54.240 Valentine's Day

00:57:55.140 even if they

00:57:56.240 tell you they

00:57:56.700 don't.

00:57:57.920 So my little

00:57:58.800 message to you

00:57:59.560 is if you

00:58:00.720 have negotiated

00:58:01.400 with your

00:58:02.160 woman to 0.98

00:58:04.480 not celebrate

00:58:05.340 the day and

00:58:05.880 not give her

00:58:06.360 anything, it's

00:58:08.660 possible she 0.78

00:58:09.380 totally agrees

00:58:10.140 with you.

00:58:10.480 but I would

00:58:11.740 at least

00:58:12.100 suggest that

00:58:15.100 maybe you

00:58:15.500 ought to have

00:58:15.840 something in

00:58:16.400 the, you

00:58:16.980 know, in

00:58:18.040 the trunk of

00:58:18.560 your car just

00:58:20.460 in case things

00:58:21.100 get tense and

00:58:22.400 then you could

00:58:22.820 do, of course I

00:58:23.900 got you a

00:58:24.280 present, honey,

00:58:24.840 it's in the

00:58:25.220 trunk of the

00:58:25.620 car and go

00:58:26.100 out and get

00:58:26.480 it.

00:58:27.540 Maybe.

00:58:28.460 I mean just

00:58:28.900 to make sure you

00:58:30.060 can get through a

00:58:30.820 few Valentine's

00:58:31.560 Days within a

00:58:32.300 fight.

00:58:33.560 You know, just

00:58:34.120 have a backup

00:58:34.660 plan and then

00:58:35.700 don't bring it

00:58:36.600 out if there's

00:58:37.960 no fight.

00:58:39.260 But if you

00:58:39.980 manage to get

00:58:40.600 through the

00:58:40.900 whole day and

00:58:41.400 everything's good,

00:58:43.120 you're probably

00:58:44.100 free.

00:58:45.760 But I would

00:58:46.520 not assume that

00:58:48.280 your average

00:58:48.960 normal American

00:58:49.920 woman, even if 0.98

00:58:51.720 she says

00:58:52.400 Valentine's Day

00:58:53.660 should not be

00:58:54.420 important, I

00:58:55.980 don't know that

00:58:56.780 it feels that

00:58:58.260 way when you

00:58:58.900 get to

00:58:59.200 Valentine's Day.

00:59:00.300 It just doesn't

00:59:01.180 feel unimportant.

00:59:04.000 It's kind of

00:59:04.660 like saying that

00:59:05.320 Christmas is just

00:59:06.460 another day if

00:59:07.220 you don't have

00:59:07.600 any plans.

00:59:07.960 it never

00:59:09.420 really feels

00:59:10.160 like just

00:59:10.600 another day

00:59:11.080 when you're

00:59:11.400 in it.

00:59:12.900 It's just

00:59:13.480 something you

00:59:13.780 can say in

00:59:14.260 advance.

00:59:17.640 So I'm

00:59:18.900 going to say

00:59:19.220 I was the

00:59:19.860 dumb one on

00:59:20.620 that transaction

00:59:21.480 because I

00:59:22.240 should have

00:59:22.560 just known

00:59:23.580 that, you

00:59:25.420 know, Americans

00:59:26.460 are just too

00:59:27.060 conditioned by

00:59:28.500 that holiday to

00:59:29.380 imagine that

00:59:29.980 it's nothing.

00:59:30.980 We're just

00:59:31.520 too well

00:59:31.960 trained.

00:59:32.280 thanks for

00:59:39.740 helping men

00:59:40.300 not trust

00:59:40.880 women some 0.99

00:59:41.500 more.

00:59:45.140 I'm not

00:59:45.720 sure if that's

00:59:46.260 even about

00:59:47.060 trusting women. 1.00

00:59:48.240 I think you

00:59:48.740 could reverse

00:59:49.340 the genders and

00:59:50.300 it would be the

00:59:50.700 same thing.

00:59:52.600 I sometimes

00:59:53.380 say I don't

00:59:53.920 want anything

00:59:54.240 for my birthday.

00:59:55.880 Do I mean

00:59:56.620 it?

00:59:56.820 Do I mean

00:59:59.740 it?

01:00:01.680 You tell me

01:00:02.620 because I

01:00:03.880 often say I

01:00:04.500 don't want

01:00:04.760 anything for my

01:00:05.340 birthday.

01:00:06.680 I 100% mean

01:00:08.120 it from non-family

01:00:09.280 members.

01:00:10.520 I 100% mean

01:00:11.480 it from non-family

01:00:12.260 members and

01:00:12.980 certainly I mean

01:00:13.600 it for many

01:00:14.140 family members

01:00:14.940 who are not

01:00:15.420 local.

01:00:16.600 Like I

01:00:17.180 definitely don't

01:00:17.840 expect anybody

01:00:18.460 to mail me

01:00:19.000 something.

01:00:19.780 That's more

01:00:21.120 than I would

01:00:21.540 ask from

01:00:22.040 anybody.

01:00:24.180 But if I

01:00:26.620 had a spouse

01:00:27.620 and I got

01:00:29.660 literally nothing

01:00:30.600 for my

01:00:31.060 birthday I

01:00:32.340 would feel

01:00:32.800 about the

01:00:33.340 same way

01:00:33.980 as a spouse

01:00:36.820 would feel

01:00:37.180 about getting

01:00:37.560 nothing for

01:00:38.080 Valentine's

01:00:38.660 Day.

01:00:39.160 I would

01:00:39.680 think I

01:00:40.720 know I

01:00:41.140 said I

01:00:41.700 don't want

01:00:42.060 anything and

01:00:42.620 I know I

01:00:43.460 meant it

01:00:44.020 but really

01:00:45.300 you didn't

01:00:46.700 get something

01:00:47.100 anyway?

01:00:51.440 So I

01:00:52.160 got it you

01:00:52.640 know we're

01:00:52.900 all we're

01:00:53.420 all irrational

01:00:54.120 when it comes

01:00:54.720 to that stuff.

01:00:56.620 All right

01:00:57.520 that's all I

01:00:57.900 got for you

01:00:58.300 today.

01:00:58.940 It's a

01:00:59.540 newsy day

01:01:00.080 lots of

01:01:00.520 fun.

01:01:01.340 Go have

01:01:01.640 some fun

01:01:02.360 Valentine's

01:01:03.000 Day and

01:01:03.720 thanks for

01:01:04.280 joining on

01:01:04.780 YouTube and

01:01:05.340 Rumble.

01:01:06.140 Sorry about

01:01:06.680 the X

01:01:07.020 platform.

01:01:08.680 you next

01:01:09.000 time.
