Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2389 CWSA 02⧸19⧸24

00:00:00.000 Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

00:00:06.240 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization where all

00:00:10.400 of your mysteries will be solved all your questions will be answered and all of your

00:00:14.480 concerns will be addressed but if you'd like to take it up to a level that nobody can even

00:00:19.280 understand with their tiny human brains all you need is a copper mugger a glass a tanker

00:00:23.520 chalice with tine a canteen jugger flask a vessel of any kind play that back at 1.5 speed i dare

00:00:28.880 area. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:33.900 the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going

00:00:36.980 to happen right now. Go. Oh, that is unbelievably good. I'm going in for two. Second sip. Anybody,

00:00:47.140 anybody, join me. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yep. Nailed it. Well, I'm going to tell you about some great new

00:00:59.620 technologies that are kind of cool. Did you know that DNA is a really good data storage device?

00:01:09.020 That all of the data of who you are is stored on these little parts of your body. And it turns out

00:01:17.040 that the technologists now at the Paul Allen School of Computer Science and Engineering at the

00:01:22.700 University of Washington are trying to make DNA computer data storage, which apparently would be

00:01:31.200 massively better and faster than what we're doing. Does that sound like something that might actually

00:01:37.200 happen? Do you believe that someday we will have DNA based databases? I'm going to say no.

00:01:47.040 I'm going to say no. I just don't see it happening. Now, I'm like the biggest technology optimist in the

00:01:53.860 world. I think we're going to, you know, go to Mars and all that stuff. But I don't think we're going

00:02:00.300 to have DNA storage. I would love to be surprised. So maybe. There's a story about some young folks who

00:02:10.320 designed and printed a drone that would be, if you bought it, it would be under $500. And it calculates

00:02:20.040 GPS coordinates without a signal using a camera and Google Maps. So in other words, it will know where

00:02:28.240 it is the same way a human would, by looking around. Now, if you could make a drone with a 3D printer,

00:02:37.640 that means you could have a drone that nobody knows you purchased. So it would be like an unmarked gun.

00:02:44.940 So you could have your own, you know, phantom drone or a ghost drone. It'd be like a ghost drone.

00:02:50.720 It would cost you almost nothing, relatively speaking. And you can't be jammed with GPS.

00:02:58.520 So they can't jam your GPS. You know what this is, right? This is the ultimate murder weapon.

00:03:06.080 So they don't talk about the chips. You still have to get a chip somehow, unless you can attach your

00:03:11.320 phone to it. I was always assuming that the murder drones would just take a phone. You could just take

00:03:19.040 an old iPhone and just connect it to your murder drone, and it would have all the intelligence that

00:03:23.920 it needed. That's what I always figured. But I think these will be used for assassinations.

00:03:30.880 And then later for various terrorist activities. So now we have a way for the ordinary person to

00:03:37.440 assassinate people and leave absolutely no sign. How would you find it? Let's say you,

00:03:45.800 well, I guess there would still be some fingerprints on the chip. So you'd have to give us some

00:03:54.300 instructions. And so that would give you a little bit of a hint who created it, but not much. So you

00:04:00.040 wouldn't have any trace of where it came from. And you wouldn't know where it originated from.

00:04:06.020 It's the ultimate weapon. My book, The Religion War, is largely written around this development. So one of 1.00

00:04:16.520 the big plot points is that it's a place where anybody can send a drone to any place else and kill

00:04:23.560 somebody. So that's coming. Well, as you might know, the only thing I think about more than ancient Rome

00:04:31.360 is ancient Egypt and their pyramids, because it fascinates me all the different theories of how

00:04:36.280 they got built. So you got your ancient alien theory. Aliens did it. You got your advanced prior human

00:04:46.180 civilization that died out theory. You got your theory that the Egyptians were just really good at 1.00

00:04:53.860 doing hard stuff, because their workforce was so impressive. So good. So good. And we keep

00:05:03.380 wondering, how is it that these gigantic rocks got transported from distant quarries and raised up to

00:05:09.440 the top? And I was doing my usual thing where I was thinking, all right, what are they not mentioning?

00:05:17.300 So I'm thinking of all the different, you know, ways that people are explaining how it happened and why

00:05:23.080 we couldn't do it today so easily. And I'm thinking there's one thing that's like clearly left

00:05:28.280 out. It's that the rocks were made on site. And so I said to myself, what are those rocks made of?

00:05:37.440 And I Googled it yesterday. And they're made of limestone. And I said to myself, theoretically,

00:05:44.520 could you make your own limestone rock? It turns out you can. All you need is pressure. Literally

00:05:54.440 just pressure. You put enough pressure on some limestone, crushed up limestone that you could,

00:06:00.000 you know, hold in your hand like sand. You just crush it. It turns into a rock that lasts forever,

00:06:05.140 because that's exactly what a limestone rock is. It's something that was sort of powder that was under

00:06:11.100 pressure for a long time and turned into a rock. But you can make one right away. Now, there's a video

00:06:17.840 on YouTube. Some French gentleman tested this theory. And he put up some wood forms. And he put

00:06:25.460 some limestone dust that was common to his area, which apparently is very common to the area where the

00:06:33.220 pyramids are. So there's like powdered limestone laying all over the place. And you put it in a little

00:06:39.600 form. You add some water and some clay. And you wait a little while. And it's a perfect rock.

00:06:46.760 Now, I know what you're going to say. I know what you're going to say. Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:06:53.880 Why do you come into areas in which you know nothing about and try to act like you're suddenly the

00:06:59.920 instant expert on something you clearly don't know a thing about? Because what let me tell you one

00:07:05.940 thing, Scott, if they had made the stones for the pyramid, that would really be obvious. Because

00:07:13.100 I think stone experts can tell the difference between a natural stone and a stone that was made

00:07:19.080 by somebody, you know, just making a stone. Easy to tell. It'd be obvious. And that's true.

00:07:26.560 There's one exception to that. Limestone. If you cut a limestone in half, it would look exactly the

00:07:38.600 same whether it was a natural one or a fake one. It would look uniform all the way through, like

00:07:43.900 concrete. It would just look all the way. A real one would be no different than one that formed

00:07:51.100 naturally, because it'd be basically the same thing. So is it possible that the most obvious

00:07:58.840 solution is the one that really was true? That maybe the reason that we don't see hieroglyphs

00:08:05.260 of them making the bricks is that we don't have them making any kind of bricks. So keep this in mind.

00:08:14.740 We know that the ancient Egyptians knew how to make bricks, because part of the construction of the

00:08:21.640 pyramid is ordinary bricks that we know how they were made. So if they knew how to make a brick,

00:08:28.580 and we know it's possible to make a giant rock and just limestone dust that you press together and put

00:08:34.300 some water and clay in, you think they didn't figure that out? They already knew how to make bricks

00:08:40.460 out of, you know, stuff on the ground. Don't you think that's a little bit more likely that they

00:08:48.340 made the bricks or the big rocks on site, so they didn't have to relocate them 500 miles or whatever

00:08:54.680 they allegedly did? Now you say to yourself, but Scott, Scott, Scott, you idiot. You freaking idiot.

00:09:02.020 I can't even stand listening to you, because the one thing we know is that the quarries exist.

00:09:07.340 There are hieroglyphics showing that they went to the quarries, and I think the quarries are real.

00:09:16.180 I think that they may have also had real quarried rocks, especially the granite, because you can't

00:09:22.740 make granite. You know, I looked into it. You can't make granite. That kind of needs to be naturally

00:09:29.320 made. So if they have granite parts, probably exactly what you think. Copper tools took a long time,

00:09:36.080 and a lot of people, you know, got it done. But the only thing I'm adding is that apparently the

00:09:41.780 hard part to understand is how they did it in the timeline they did. So you could solve for how long

00:09:48.400 it took by imagining that there was real quarrying of real rocks, just the way they say, but they

00:09:55.120 weren't the majority. If you imagine that the majority of them were made on site, then it solves your

00:10:01.620 timing problem, which is the biggest mystery. Because I think we all agree that if you had

00:10:06.120 infinite time, you could have carved all the rocks and carried them and put them where they

00:10:10.900 are. It would just be really hard. But if you had a lot of time, you could do it. So I'm going to

00:10:16.120 throw that into the mix only for fun. I wouldn't make any bets on it. But I love the fact that the

00:10:22.280 most obvious solution, which is that they made the rocks on site, is the one we're not talking about

00:10:28.380 the most. Now, there might be an obvious reason why it doesn't work and nobody mentioned it to me.

00:10:33.940 But just put that, here's the only thing I want to do with this story. I want to use it to open

00:10:41.820 your mind to how easy it would be for the most basic things we know or think we know to be completely

00:10:50.740 wrong. I'm just opening the possibility so that your mind can imagine, oh my goodness, we could be

00:10:58.880 completely wrong about all these pyramid stones. That's all I'm trying to get. Doesn't mean I'm right. 0.51

00:11:04.520 I'm not going to assert that I'm right. All right, here's some good news. You want some good news?

00:11:12.100 There's some financial literacy classes that are growing up in high schools. So a lot of middle

00:11:16.580 schools and high schools are teaching financial literacy, which is such a good idea. I've actually

00:11:23.180 been thinking about doing it locally, you know, maybe over the summer or something. Just offer a

00:11:29.380 financial literacy class for any neighbors who want to send their kid. And, you know, just do it in one

00:11:36.460 day. Teach them a little bit about buying a stock and having a checking account and, you know, getting a

00:11:42.800 mortgage, just the basic stuff. And the way that I teach it to young people, because I've taught a

00:11:50.220 number of young people basics, is if you learn just a few things, everything else can flow from those

00:11:57.720 few things. So there's a real easy way to get started in it that allows you access to everything

00:12:03.780 else sort of automatically. So for example, when I say, if you're thinking of buying stocks,

00:12:09.940 get a diversified ETF. So once you understand what that is, every other thing that you could do

00:12:18.740 has to be better than that. And if nobody can tell you why it's better than that, don't do it.

00:12:25.120 You don't need to. And what you would find is every time you look into a new thing, it's like,

00:12:29.660 well, maybe I should own a municipal bond. And then you start looking into it, you Google it,

00:12:35.720 and then you compare it to your ETF, and you go, huh, you know, maybe a little bit of these, just in

00:12:41.700 case for diversity, but really, maybe I don't need it if I'm young. So you give them one foot in,

00:12:49.780 and they can figure out the rest just by Googling and comparing it to what they already know.

00:12:54.240 So there is an easy way in. That's the only thing I wanted to add there.

00:12:57.360 I saw a post from Sahil Bloom who said, one of the most underrated traits in business and life

00:13:02.700 is reliability. He says, you can get damn far by just being someone who people can count on to show

00:13:11.480 up, punch the clock, and do the work. I gave exactly this speech to a young person recently.

00:13:19.060 Exactly. I said, you don't understand how easy it is to succeed in today's world. If you're the

00:13:26.680 person who shows up on time, doesn't take unnecessary Monday and Friday sick days,

00:13:32.460 does what you say you will do, and doesn't complain too much about it, unless there's

00:13:37.580 something genuine to complain about, you're going to be in the top 20% of every workforce.

00:13:44.860 You all know that, right? That all the adults already know this. It's something that children

00:13:50.140 don't know. But every adult already knows that it's actually rare for people to simply follow

00:13:56.600 up on what they said they would do. If you just do that one thing, you will rule, or at least be in

00:14:04.300 the top 20% of every workforce. Now, at the same time, we're seeing estimates that 40% of the jobs will

00:14:13.340 go to robots. I don't think it's going to be that dire. I think robots will create as many jobs as they

00:14:20.300 take away. We'll see how that works out. But if you're worried about it, if you're worried about

00:14:26.740 you'll be one of the employees who gets in the lower 50% and therefore you might be replaced by a robot,

00:14:34.200 try the simplest thing first. Try being reliable. Try showing up on time. Try doing what you say you'll do.

00:14:42.100 You'll probably be fine. You won't be in the bottom 50% that gets fired and replace your robots.

00:14:49.520 We'll get to the bigger stories in a minute. I like these fun ones. These are all palate cleansers.

00:14:54.940 Well, NBC News went full racist. They had a story today that says that black patients who have heart

00:15:03.180 problems, and apparently there's a pretty high rate of heart disease in black Americans,

00:15:08.460 that they might not do as well if they go to a non-black cardiologist. And the thinking here is

00:15:18.440 that if you go to a doctor, in this case a specialist, who has, let's say, a greater appreciation for your

00:15:26.700 lifestyle and culture, that you're going to get a better outcome. That's NBC News.

00:15:33.120 Now, let's dig into this a little bit. What are they trying to tell me? And it was alarming because

00:15:41.240 my doctor is female and brown, and I don't know exactly what her background is. Maybe Indian? I don't

00:15:49.320 know. I mean, she's American, but I don't know what her ethnic background is. However,

00:15:55.280 I have seen that she does generally a very good job, despite NBC News warning me that I will have

00:16:06.540 bad outcomes if I don't match the race and probably ethnicity, too, of my doctor. So I'm at a big risk.

00:16:13.720 Now, the only places I've seen this are just a few places. There was last year I went to my doctor

00:16:20.600 and I was complaining about an arm problem. You know, I had some stiffness in one arm.

00:16:26.140 And my doctor was completely stumped, but she was smart enough to recommend me to a specialist.

00:16:33.180 So the specialist has exactly the same background as my regular doctor, so there's no difference in

00:16:40.260 the resume. But the specialist was a white man. He was a white man. Because my doctor knew that

00:16:48.080 I needed a doctor, at least for the hard stuff, I probably needed a doctor who was my same gender 0.99

00:16:54.700 and same race. I mean, that's why NBC News has reported that that's important. And sure enough,

00:17:01.400 it's the sort of thing I would have doubted. But here's how it went. I sit down with a doctor who's

00:17:06.460 white, like me, and male like me. First question out of his mouth when I say my arm is all stiff,

00:17:14.620 he says, do you like old 70s rock? And I was like, what? And he said, do you like old 70s rock

00:17:26.240 sounds? I was like, you know I do. I mean, just look at me. You think I don't like 70s rock? Take one

00:17:34.160 look at me, obviously. And then he said, do you ever air guitar? And there it was. Yeah, finally,

00:17:46.980 finally when my doctor matched my ethnicity and my gender, finally, he was like a laser-focused target,

00:17:59.300 and he found the problem. Indeed, I've been over air guitaring to 70s rock. Now, did my brown female 1.00

00:18:07.920 doctor have any idea that I was at that kind of risk? No, no. So like NBC News, I'm going to double

00:18:19.880 down on their advice. You need to find somebody who looks just like you, because the medical advice 1.00

00:18:25.180 from people who don't look just like you could be way off. So next time, ask for a specialist, 0.99

00:18:32.040 somebody who has the same talents as your doctor, but looks different, according to racist NBC News.

00:18:44.520 Well, here are two problems we've got in the United States. Well, a few of them, actually.

00:18:49.160 Our food is too expensive. Do you agree? Our food is too expensive, you know, relative to what we

00:18:55.020 would like it to be. Let's see. We don't have enough manufacturing capacity, sort of in general,

00:19:01.540 but we're talking about it a lot because of ammunition. We don't have enough people to make

00:19:06.800 ammunition in case we get into a shooting war. And generally speaking, if we'd like to reshore a lot

00:19:13.380 of China's business, we don't have the manufacturing capacity. So is it my imagination?

00:19:21.440 Or did we, by pure luck, have two problems that are all self-solving, or three or four? I feel like

00:19:32.500 all of our problems are self-solving. Huh. We have this gigantic recent labor force that may not have

00:19:41.080 specific skills, but they can do manufacturing and farming. We've got, our food's too expensive,

00:19:47.200 and we don't have enough manufacturing and farming. But we've got all these people who don't have jobs,

00:19:52.540 who would like jobs, and are mobile, and are not tied to any specific part of the country.

00:19:57.540 So if we wanted to centralize them in some large, empty part of the country in the middle,

00:20:02.960 where they would get instant jobs, and we would get instant manufacturing, it would take a little

00:20:08.240 while to build the factory, but we've got a lot of labor to build the factory as well. And then they

00:20:13.180 would work the fields, and perhaps they would live in boxable homes, or ADUs, or instant pop-up homes

00:20:18.840 that we'd now know how to make in volume. And we would solve all of our problems. Not only that,

00:20:24.840 but we would be the only industrial country who's not in a recession, because we would figure out a way

00:20:29.760 how to monetize our biggest problems. Because if there's one thing the United States does better than

00:20:34.960 any country ever, and this is one thing you'll agree, one thing the United States consistently

00:20:42.620 does better than any country that's ever lived in the entire world,

00:20:47.420 is we figure out how to make a profit out of our fuck-ups. 0.73

00:20:53.320 We know how to monetize problems.

00:20:56.160 You got a problem? We'll monetize it.

00:20:58.860 Do you have too much racism in your country?

00:21:01.000 Well, let's build a racism grifter industry. 0.90

00:21:05.980 We'll monetize that shit.

00:21:07.920 Yeah.

00:21:08.800 You got too many criminals?

00:21:10.720 Well, how about we build you some private prisons? 0.99

00:21:13.260 We'll monetize that shit.

00:21:15.360 Yeah.

00:21:16.580 Anything else you want? We'll monetize it.

00:21:19.240 So we've got all these problems

00:21:20.860 of too many

00:21:21.640 illegal migrants.

00:21:24.940 Food's too expensive, and we don't have manufacturing.

00:21:28.200 These problems

00:21:29.100 solve each other.

00:21:30.020 Don't they?

00:21:34.000 Am I wrong?

00:21:35.760 In the short run, it's just nothing but expense and problem.

00:21:39.980 In the long run, if we had a functional country,

00:21:43.320 there would be some state who would say,

00:21:45.180 you know what, we got a lot of blank space here,

00:21:48.140 and a lot of it's owned by the government.

00:21:50.820 Why don't we just say,

00:21:52.080 this is a special economic zone.

00:21:54.200 If you build here, you don't even have to pay taxes.

00:21:57.300 How about ever?

00:21:58.560 Just no taxes.

00:21:59.340 If you build here.

00:22:01.320 And we're going to employ all these people,

00:22:02.960 we're going to build manufacturing,

00:22:04.400 we're going to make the ability

00:22:07.180 to build these little boxable type...

00:22:09.640 Boxable is a little house

00:22:11.640 that unfolds.

00:22:12.780 I think Elon Musk

00:22:13.620 is one of the investors.

00:22:15.480 You bring in your advanced farming techniques,

00:22:18.100 maybe you've got some indoor farming too,

00:22:20.600 and you just see what works.

00:22:22.720 Just see what works.

00:22:25.480 Now, Germany apparently is entering a recession.

00:22:28.060 We heard Great Britain and Japan is,

00:22:30.980 but we're not.

00:22:32.660 Part of it is because of government spending,

00:22:34.980 but part of it might be

00:22:36.140 that our population is growing.

00:22:39.920 So we have the only growing population.

00:22:43.020 You know, you could complain

00:22:44.400 because we added more people

00:22:45.880 from illegal migration

00:22:47.100 than were born naturally.

00:22:48.900 That's a problem, maybe.

00:22:51.000 But it might also be an opportunity.

00:22:53.680 It might actually be an economic opportunity

00:22:56.260 in the long run.

00:22:57.640 Let me ask you this.

00:22:59.360 This will be a real good economic question for you.

00:23:01.800 If we close the border today,

00:23:04.720 it won't happen,

00:23:05.900 so this is all hypothetical.

00:23:07.480 Let's say we close the border tight,

00:23:10.200 and we still have people in,

00:23:11.560 but you have to have better reasons

00:23:13.320 and be vetted and everything.

00:23:15.180 So it would be just

00:23:15.920 a functional immigration system.

00:23:19.420 Do you think that the people

00:23:20.800 who have already been let in,

00:23:23.440 let's say the last 10 million,

00:23:25.760 we'll just limit it to the last,

00:23:28.180 the most recent 10 million,

00:23:29.680 will they be, in the long run,

00:23:33.500 in the long run,

00:23:35.340 economically positive

00:23:36.700 or negative to the country?

00:23:38.180 Go.

00:23:39.060 In the long run,

00:23:40.800 economically positive

00:23:41.980 or economically negative?

00:23:44.660 The correct answer is positive.

00:23:47.700 Yeah.

00:23:48.120 And that's actually an easy one.

00:23:50.720 Do you know why?

00:23:52.060 Population adds to the economy.

00:23:55.060 Population is great.

00:23:56.920 And immigrants are great.

00:23:59.680 Immigrants are great for an economy.

00:24:03.240 You want the ones

00:24:04.260 who are so incentivized,

00:24:05.820 you know, not the terrorists,

00:24:06.740 of course.

00:24:07.480 There's some terrorists coming in, too.

00:24:09.320 But if you're just looking

00:24:10.580 at dollars and cents,

00:24:12.120 I'm almost certain

00:24:14.300 that it costs a ton of money

00:24:16.040 in the short run,

00:24:17.380 but if you looked at it

00:24:18.800 in a generation,

00:24:20.460 it would be positive.

00:24:21.580 Now,

00:24:23.300 I'm going to make that

00:24:24.640 as a challenge.

00:24:26.540 So,

00:24:27.060 do your own research

00:24:28.280 and see if you can confirm

00:24:29.660 or debunk that.

00:24:31.820 Now, remember,

00:24:32.560 we all agree

00:24:33.420 that for several years,

00:24:35.940 the 10 million

00:24:36.560 will not be positive.

00:24:38.420 Do you all agree with that?

00:24:39.960 Do you all agree

00:24:40.560 that in the short run,

00:24:41.740 there's no way it could be good

00:24:43.000 because it's just expense?

00:24:45.140 But each one of these people

00:24:47.100 are likely to get a foothold.

00:24:49.960 They're likely to earn money.

00:24:51.920 And by the second generation,

00:24:53.880 their own kids,

00:24:55.040 they're very likely

00:24:55.940 to be hardworking citizens

00:24:58.600 who just want to dig in

00:25:00.260 and make a difference,

00:25:01.620 like everybody else.

00:25:04.400 So,

00:25:04.980 I would like to put that out there

00:25:06.600 as a reframe

00:25:07.940 and a challenge

00:25:08.820 to your thinking.

00:25:10.780 I know that

00:25:11.660 probably almost everybody

00:25:13.600 watching this

00:25:14.360 is very anti-illegal immigration.

00:25:18.020 Am I right?

00:25:19.340 Pretty much,

00:25:20.220 we're universally

00:25:21.220 anti-illegal immigration.

00:25:24.180 We're also almost,

00:25:26.120 but not all of us,

00:25:27.660 very pro-legal immigration

00:25:29.920 so long as people

00:25:31.180 are checked out

00:25:31.880 and we make sure

00:25:32.600 that they could add

00:25:33.280 to the country.

00:25:34.360 We're all on the same page

00:25:35.340 with that stuff.

00:25:36.400 The only thing I'm suggesting

00:25:37.700 is if you game it out

00:25:39.760 for a generation,

00:25:41.420 you probably come out ahead.

00:25:42.580 Imagine if you went back

00:25:44.900 to the Statue of Liberty days,

00:25:48.520 you know,

00:25:48.760 Ellis Island.

00:25:50.300 How many people

00:25:51.460 who were,

00:25:52.680 let's say,

00:25:53.540 alive at the time,

00:25:55.160 just Americans

00:25:55.900 who were born here,

00:25:56.980 how many of them

00:25:57.880 saw all the immigration 0.97

00:25:58.900 coming in

00:25:59.600 of people

00:26:00.180 who spoke

00:26:00.720 different languages

00:26:01.520 and remember

00:26:02.600 in those days,

00:26:03.700 in those days,

00:26:04.560 Italian was like black. 0.98

00:26:07.220 It just sounds

00:26:07.840 so dumb today.

00:26:09.400 It's like,

00:26:09.860 oh,

00:26:10.040 you're a little bit

00:26:10.740 extra brown,

00:26:11.740 so,

00:26:13.280 you know,

00:26:13.760 it was like

00:26:14.240 the most racist world

00:26:15.620 possible.

00:26:17.040 So these people

00:26:17.860 were coming

00:26:18.300 to the country

00:26:19.080 with no money

00:26:19.920 into,

00:26:21.580 you know,

00:26:21.980 into this racist country.

00:26:23.740 They were all

00:26:24.260 different things.

00:26:25.440 Many of them

00:26:26.060 didn't speak the language

00:26:27.080 and

00:26:28.580 did it work?

00:26:32.540 If you looked at it

00:26:33.640 from today's perspective,

00:26:35.940 did mass immigration

00:26:37.420 of people

00:26:38.180 with low skills

00:26:39.540 and speaking

00:26:40.300 the wrong language 0.98

00:26:41.280 from all different places,

00:26:43.740 did it add

00:26:44.540 or subtract

00:26:45.240 to our economy?

00:26:47.140 I think it added.

00:26:50.600 I'm wrong again.

00:26:52.940 Do you think

00:26:53.340 we'd be better off

00:26:54.340 without massive immigration?

00:26:56.040 I'm pretty sure

00:26:56.780 all economists

00:26:57.540 agree with me

00:26:58.840 on this point.

00:26:59.700 Now,

00:27:00.160 if there's anybody here

00:27:01.320 who has a business

00:27:02.480 and economics background,

00:27:05.140 then I will listen to you.

00:27:08.220 If you don't have

00:27:09.300 a business

00:27:09.800 and economics background,

00:27:11.440 I don't have any interest

00:27:12.480 in your opinion.

00:27:14.520 No insult.

00:27:15.760 I don't mean

00:27:16.360 to insult you.

00:27:17.280 I'm just not interested

00:27:18.440 because it wouldn't

00:27:20.000 have any weight.

00:27:21.920 It wouldn't have any value.

00:27:23.680 You know,

00:27:23.880 I don't mean

00:27:24.580 to insult you.

00:27:25.680 I'm just saying

00:27:26.280 that there's some things

00:27:27.340 you imagine

00:27:27.940 are common sense

00:27:28.980 and they're far from it.

00:27:31.760 If you think

00:27:32.640 you can common sense

00:27:33.860 yourself

00:27:34.460 into understanding

00:27:35.960 the migrant situation,

00:27:37.740 not even close.

00:27:39.920 Common sense

00:27:40.900 can't touch this.

00:27:43.280 It's way too complicated

00:27:44.860 if you're gaming it out

00:27:46.680 for the whole generation.

00:27:48.720 You don't know.

00:27:49.440 My guess is

00:27:50.880 people equals

00:27:51.900 prosperity

00:27:52.780 pretty much

00:27:53.940 every time.

00:27:54.920 Do you know

00:27:55.860 why India

00:27:56.420 is going to be

00:27:57.520 maybe

00:27:59.020 the biggest superpower

00:28:00.620 economically?

00:28:03.460 People.

00:28:04.780 Number of people.

00:28:06.220 Do you know

00:28:06.560 why China

00:28:07.160 is such a risk

00:28:08.620 economically

00:28:09.340 and every other way?

00:28:11.180 It's people.

00:28:12.500 It's just

00:28:12.800 number of people.

00:28:14.120 If you've got

00:28:14.760 more people,

00:28:15.380 you can raise

00:28:15.940 a bigger army.

00:28:17.440 Just period.

00:28:18.600 That's just how it works.

00:28:20.100 Yeah, Japan.

00:28:21.660 Japan.

00:28:22.740 Superpower

00:28:23.180 because a lot of people.

00:28:25.040 So,

00:28:25.920 so I think

00:28:26.880 we can hold

00:28:27.540 two thoughts

00:28:28.380 at the same time.

00:28:30.020 You can hold

00:28:30.880 the thought

00:28:31.340 that we really need

00:28:32.140 to get a hold

00:28:32.660 of immigration

00:28:33.360 because it's

00:28:34.540 a really expensive thing

00:28:35.740 and it's too fast

00:28:36.480 at the moment.

00:28:37.880 But I think

00:28:38.600 it's not unreasonable

00:28:39.980 to say

00:28:40.500 it's all going to work out.

00:28:42.480 We have to get

00:28:43.280 through this patch

00:28:44.180 which is dangerous

00:28:45.520 but it'll work out.

00:28:46.760 It'll all work out.

00:28:50.180 All right.

00:28:53.080 Even

00:28:53.480 RFK Jr.

00:28:54.740 is saying

00:28:55.100 who the heck

00:28:55.800 is in charge

00:28:56.300 of the country

00:28:56.860 and you'd think

00:28:57.680 you would know.

00:28:59.060 If you're RFK Jr.,

00:29:00.860 don't you think

00:29:01.320 you would know

00:29:01.860 by now

00:29:02.240 who's in charge

00:29:02.820 of the country?

00:29:03.720 But even he says

00:29:04.760 in a post,

00:29:06.140 during the 35 years

00:29:07.320 I've known Joe Biden,

00:29:08.920 he's always demonstrated

00:29:09.960 his core decency.

00:29:11.700 He has shown

00:29:12.220 his affection

00:29:12.780 and esteem

00:29:13.400 for my family

00:29:14.120 by displaying

00:29:14.820 a bust

00:29:15.260 of my father

00:29:15.940 in the Oval Office.

00:29:17.040 I suspect

00:29:18.220 that the White House

00:29:18.940 decision

00:29:19.420 to deny

00:29:20.420 my Secret Service

00:29:21.360 protection

00:29:22.060 and many

00:29:24.640 other more

00:29:25.720 important decisions

00:29:26.580 are being made

00:29:27.940 not by the

00:29:28.740 President himself

00:29:29.560 but by the

00:29:30.920 anonymous men

00:29:31.720 in lanyards

00:29:32.460 who now seem

00:29:33.880 to be running

00:29:34.500 our government.

00:29:35.440 well, RFK Jr.,

00:29:39.180 men in lanyards?

00:29:41.120 Men?

00:29:42.300 Did you say

00:29:43.260 men?

00:29:45.120 My God,

00:29:46.420 the sexist,

00:29:47.500 sexist guy. 0.62

00:29:49.680 I can't stand it,

00:29:50.860 his sexism.

00:29:52.080 It should be

00:29:52.480 the men

00:29:52.920 and women

00:29:53.920 in lanyards

00:29:54.580 who are secretly

00:29:55.300 running the country

00:29:56.160 even though

00:29:57.300 they're all really men.

00:29:58.680 No, I'm just saying that

00:29:59.820 and just joking.

00:30:01.340 It's men and women.

00:30:02.160 Now, if you and I

00:30:08.180 were saying this,

00:30:09.920 it would sound

00:30:10.420 a little conspiracy

00:30:11.640 theory nutcase, right?

00:30:14.720 But when RFK Jr.

00:30:16.580 says it,

00:30:17.600 gives you

00:30:18.180 a very clear example

00:30:19.580 of it

00:30:19.940 that we've all

00:30:20.500 been tracking,

00:30:21.240 his lack of

00:30:22.020 Secret Service

00:30:22.760 protection

00:30:23.220 for no reason

00:30:23.980 at all,

00:30:26.160 you have to

00:30:27.000 take that

00:30:27.320 pretty seriously.

00:30:29.140 We really

00:30:30.080 do not know

00:30:31.120 who's making

00:30:32.420 our decisions

00:30:33.040 or why.

00:30:34.660 Now, if you

00:30:35.420 take the Mike

00:30:36.440 Benz theory

00:30:37.200 that the Atlantic

00:30:38.540 Council is running

00:30:39.460 all the geopolitical

00:30:40.960 stuff and the

00:30:42.460 domestic stuff

00:30:43.360 is probably just

00:30:43.920 the deep state

00:30:45.440 bureaucrats

00:30:46.300 are handling.

00:30:47.440 So that's probably

00:30:48.080 the answer.

00:30:48.800 It's probably

00:30:49.220 no mystery at all.

00:30:51.160 Here's some

00:30:51.900 fake economic news

00:30:53.140 and I say

00:30:53.700 fake economic news

00:30:54.840 because you should

00:30:55.700 not trust

00:30:56.400 in the election

00:30:58.080 year,

00:30:58.940 do not trust

00:30:59.900 energy prices,

00:31:02.420 job reports,

00:31:04.100 inflation reports,

00:31:05.820 or GDP.

00:31:06.980 They will all

00:31:07.920 be gamed

00:31:08.720 because it's

00:31:09.960 an election

00:31:10.380 year.

00:31:11.320 Don't trust

00:31:12.100 any of those

00:31:13.160 numbers.

00:31:14.480 That said,

00:31:16.320 hey,

00:31:16.500 they look pretty

00:31:16.980 good.

00:31:19.000 I can't help

00:31:20.160 myself.

00:31:21.580 I have to

00:31:22.260 still look at

00:31:23.540 them even

00:31:23.900 though I don't

00:31:24.300 trust them.

00:31:25.540 So one of them

00:31:26.280 is the natural

00:31:26.940 gas prices

00:31:27.780 are the lowest

00:31:28.400 since mid-2020.

00:31:31.760 So that's good.

00:31:33.580 And gas prices

00:31:34.620 are definitely

00:31:35.220 lower than

00:31:36.140 the highest

00:31:36.680 place.

00:31:37.660 They're not

00:31:38.060 where they

00:31:38.380 want to be.

00:31:38.940 We want them

00:31:39.440 to be.

00:31:40.180 We are

00:31:40.580 drilling more

00:31:41.820 oil than we

00:31:42.420 ever have.

00:31:43.660 It's probably

00:31:44.120 true.

00:31:46.300 Jobs look 0.87

00:31:47.020 good.

00:31:47.800 Inflation

00:31:48.240 weirdly appears

00:31:50.180 to be heading

00:31:51.500 in the direction

00:31:52.120 of under control,

00:31:53.180 but there's

00:31:53.500 some disagreement

00:31:54.480 on that.

00:31:54.980 And then

00:31:58.120 the GDP,

00:31:58.920 of course,

00:31:59.260 is always

00:31:59.640 gamed,

00:32:00.140 so you never

00:32:00.600 know what's

00:32:01.000 in there,

00:32:01.380 how much

00:32:01.700 is inflation,

00:32:02.660 all that other

00:32:03.240 stuff.

00:32:04.100 But just

00:32:04.760 generally,

00:32:05.420 don't get

00:32:05.880 too excited

00:32:06.640 about any

00:32:07.780 economic news

00:32:08.700 that looks

00:32:09.040 good,

00:32:09.620 because it's

00:32:10.280 probably all

00:32:10.940 going to be

00:32:11.360 gamed by

00:32:13.120 the administration

00:32:13.880 that's in

00:32:14.340 power.

00:32:15.740 Yeah.

00:32:16.160 So don't

00:32:16.520 trust it too

00:32:17.040 much.

00:32:19.420 And then,

00:32:20.220 of course,

00:32:20.980 the stock

00:32:21.340 market is the

00:32:21.980 most gamed

00:32:22.560 thing of all.

00:32:23.120 All right.

00:32:26.420 Here's an

00:32:27.020 interesting post

00:32:27.760 I saw.

00:32:28.320 What is the

00:32:29.020 monthly rate

00:32:29.760 of some

00:32:30.160 of the

00:32:30.580 top places?

00:32:33.140 So if you

00:32:33.620 wanted a

00:32:34.040 one-bedroom

00:32:34.780 apartment in

00:32:35.580 the middle

00:32:35.860 of the city,

00:32:36.960 in New York,

00:32:37.740 it would cost

00:32:38.220 you over

00:32:38.560 $4,000 a

00:32:39.720 month.

00:32:40.580 One bedroom.

00:32:42.620 And where I

00:32:43.480 live, in San

00:32:44.040 Francisco, I'm

00:32:44.880 outside of it,

00:32:45.580 but in San

00:32:46.340 Francisco, it

00:32:47.420 would be $3,300

00:32:48.200 for a one-bedroom

00:32:49.340 in the middle

00:32:49.900 of the city.

00:32:51.540 In Boston,

00:32:52.580 $3,300.

00:32:53.120 $1,100.

00:32:54.740 But, and you

00:32:55.960 go to Miami,

00:32:56.760 it's $2,800.

00:32:57.960 Los Angeles,

00:32:59.040 $2,600.

00:33:00.740 Now, how in

00:33:01.620 the world is

00:33:02.860 it better to

00:33:03.400 live in New

00:33:03.880 York at

00:33:04.660 $4,000 than

00:33:06.280 Miami or

00:33:07.160 Los Angeles

00:33:07.860 for $2,800

00:33:08.920 or $2,600?

00:33:10.560 New York

00:33:10.960 sounds pretty

00:33:11.460 expensive compared

00:33:12.520 to what you

00:33:12.980 get.

00:33:15.820 I think it's

00:33:16.560 a little bit

00:33:16.940 less in my

00:33:17.440 neighborhood.

00:33:18.160 But clearly,

00:33:18.920 the biggest

00:33:19.240 thing we need

00:33:19.900 are cheaper

00:33:22.360 ways to live.

00:33:23.840 That's going

00:33:24.520 to be the

00:33:24.800 big thing.

00:33:27.240 All right.

00:33:27.840 There's a fake

00:33:28.700 chart on the

00:33:29.260 internet that

00:33:29.940 shows the

00:33:31.140 increase in

00:33:31.900 average income

00:33:33.060 versus the 0.55

00:33:34.220 increase in

00:33:34.740 rent.

00:33:35.780 You'll see the

00:33:36.420 average income

00:33:37.400 is slowly

00:33:37.960 climbing and

00:33:39.140 the rent

00:33:39.460 prices are,

00:33:40.280 you know,

00:33:40.560 hockey sticking

00:33:41.320 up.

00:33:42.760 It's a fake

00:33:43.600 chart which I

00:33:44.320 reposted just

00:33:45.280 to show you

00:33:46.100 that the

00:33:46.840 community note

00:33:47.660 pointed that

00:33:49.080 one of the

00:33:49.600 things was

00:33:50.580 inflation

00:33:51.300 adjusted and

00:33:52.160 the other

00:33:52.400 was not.

00:33:54.540 So pretty

00:33:56.460 much every

00:33:56.960 chart on the

00:33:57.560 internet is

00:33:57.980 fake.

00:33:59.580 It's really

00:34:00.360 hard to find

00:34:00.900 any data on

00:34:01.800 the internet

00:34:02.140 that's not

00:34:02.620 fake.

00:34:03.740 It's all

00:34:04.660 fake.

00:34:05.800 Yeah.

00:34:06.100 So this one

00:34:06.640 was fake

00:34:07.080 because one

00:34:07.640 was inflation

00:34:08.400 adjusted and

00:34:09.240 one was not.

00:34:10.260 That doesn't

00:34:11.020 mean that the

00:34:11.560 rents are not

00:34:12.320 increasing higher

00:34:13.480 than income.

00:34:14.360 It just

00:34:14.820 wouldn't look

00:34:15.560 that dire.

00:34:17.980 I saw a

00:34:18.920 post from

00:34:19.460 the Amuse

00:34:20.240 account,

00:34:21.460 great account

00:34:22.360 to follow,

00:34:23.060 Amuse,

00:34:24.540 that beer

00:34:25.500 sales might

00:34:26.080 be going

00:34:26.380 down in

00:34:26.800 part because

00:34:27.300 Ozempic is 0.99

00:34:28.280 going up.

00:34:29.620 So if you

00:34:30.080 take the

00:34:30.420 Ozempic drug

00:34:31.280 to lose

00:34:31.940 weight,

00:34:33.240 it kills

00:34:34.460 your appetite

00:34:34.980 for things

00:34:36.820 especially

00:34:37.540 alcohol.

00:34:39.260 Not especially,

00:34:40.080 but it

00:34:40.320 includes alcohol.

00:34:41.800 So that's

00:34:42.140 one reason

00:34:42.620 that alcohol

00:34:45.580 might be

00:34:46.080 down.

00:34:46.720 So I

00:34:47.060 asked,

00:34:47.740 I just

00:34:48.120 asked on

00:34:48.860 the X

00:34:49.400 platform how

00:34:50.700 many people

00:34:51.240 had stopped

00:34:51.800 drinking because

00:34:53.300 they'd heard

00:34:54.140 that alcohol

00:34:55.080 is poison.

00:34:56.460 That's something

00:34:57.060 I've been

00:34:57.500 saying a lot

00:34:58.660 as a reframe

00:34:59.540 and I'm

00:35:01.480 just going to

00:35:01.820 look at the

00:35:02.180 answer because

00:35:02.940 it's pretty

00:35:03.580 impressive.

00:35:05.960 Look at

00:35:06.520 these numbers.

00:35:08.420 All right,

00:35:08.860 so have you

00:35:09.380 stopped drinking

00:35:10.000 alcohol because

00:35:10.760 you heard that

00:35:11.560 quote,

00:35:11.920 alcohol is

00:35:12.500 poison.

00:35:13.620 Now I've

00:35:13.840 got,

00:35:14.420 so help

00:35:14.900 me do

00:35:15.140 the math.

00:35:16.320 There's

00:35:16.500 over 12,000

00:35:17.720 votes and

00:35:19.560 18% said

00:35:20.760 yes.

00:35:24.600 Thousands

00:35:25.180 of people

00:35:25.820 stopped

00:35:27.060 alcohol

00:35:27.520 completely

00:35:28.120 just because

00:35:29.820 they heard

00:35:30.220 that sentence

00:35:30.840 and that's

00:35:31.620 just the

00:35:32.000 people that

00:35:32.640 happened to

00:35:33.640 follow me

00:35:34.140 on X,

00:35:35.700 happened to

00:35:36.240 see the,

00:35:36.940 just happened

00:35:37.820 to see the

00:35:38.620 results or

00:35:39.920 the poll

00:35:40.360 and happened

00:35:41.480 to answer.

00:35:43.340 Now I'm

00:35:43.960 not looking

00:35:44.360 at the

00:35:44.600 percentage,

00:35:45.480 right?

00:35:45.840 That wouldn't

00:35:46.300 mean anything.

00:35:47.220 So I'm

00:35:47.580 not looking

00:35:47.960 at the

00:35:48.220 percentage

00:35:48.600 that did

00:35:49.020 and didn't.

00:35:49.480 I'm only

00:35:49.800 looking at

00:35:50.160 just the

00:35:50.520 number who

00:35:51.180 quit.

00:35:53.760 And the

00:35:54.320 number who

00:35:54.660 cut down

00:35:55.080 is 26%.

00:35:56.420 So if you

00:35:57.840 had the

00:35:58.160 26% who

00:35:59.180 cut down

00:35:59.800 to the

00:36:00.300 18% who

00:36:01.220 just quit,

00:36:03.140 you got

00:36:04.860 your 44%.

00:36:07.060 So something

00:36:09.960 like 5,000 or

00:36:12.660 6,000 people

00:36:14.360 reduced or

00:36:15.820 quit alcohol

00:36:16.540 because of

00:36:18.420 one sentence.

00:36:20.660 And that's

00:36:21.160 just the ones

00:36:21.660 that were

00:36:22.320 reported.

00:36:22.780 the actual

00:36:24.160 number must

00:36:24.700 be some

00:36:26.160 big multiple

00:36:26.960 of that.

00:36:28.900 Now,

00:36:30.120 is that

00:36:31.820 impressive for

00:36:32.520 how powerful

00:36:33.080 a reframe

00:36:33.700 is?

00:36:34.280 It literally

00:36:35.100 just changed

00:36:35.780 the words

00:36:36.560 and didn't

00:36:37.700 add anything

00:36:38.540 because you

00:36:38.960 already knew

00:36:39.380 that the

00:36:40.280 alcohol wasn't

00:36:40.980 good for you.

00:36:43.740 Yeah.

00:36:44.000 So I

00:36:45.600 remind you

00:36:46.140 that my

00:36:46.540 book

00:36:46.800 Reframe

00:36:47.360 Your Brain

00:36:47.920 has got

00:36:49.020 over 160

00:36:50.020 reframes.

00:36:51.720 This one

00:36:52.420 is one of

00:36:52.840 them.

00:36:53.780 And they're

00:36:54.500 all this

00:36:55.040 powerful.

00:36:56.400 They can

00:36:56.760 make you

00:36:57.240 feel everything

00:36:58.640 from less

00:36:59.360 social embarrassment

00:37:00.340 to healthier

00:37:02.780 in a variety

00:37:03.340 of ways.

00:37:04.300 So mental

00:37:04.860 health,

00:37:05.300 physical

00:37:05.540 health,

00:37:06.160 and career

00:37:06.700 wise,

00:37:07.580 a whole

00:37:07.840 bunch of

00:37:08.160 reframes that

00:37:08.840 could be

00:37:09.240 just as

00:37:09.780 powerful as

00:37:10.400 this one.

00:37:11.280 Are you

00:37:11.600 impressed?

00:37:12.940 I can't

00:37:13.560 tell from

00:37:13.900 your

00:37:14.060 comments.

00:37:15.620 To me,

00:37:15.980 this is

00:37:16.260 amazing.

00:37:17.400 It's just

00:37:17.780 flat-out

00:37:18.580 amazing.

00:37:20.360 I wouldn't

00:37:20.960 have guessed

00:37:21.340 it.

00:37:22.040 There's no

00:37:22.460 way I would

00:37:22.860 have imagined

00:37:23.540 that it

00:37:23.900 would make

00:37:24.160 that much

00:37:24.500 difference.

00:37:25.820 But there

00:37:26.140 it is.

00:37:27.220 Anyway,

00:37:28.880 I saw a

00:37:29.900 post by

00:37:30.300 Jimmy Doer.

00:37:32.340 He's

00:37:32.860 reposting a

00:37:33.800 John Campbell

00:37:34.420 thing,

00:37:35.400 showing that

00:37:36.120 there's some

00:37:37.100 big increase

00:37:37.660 in blood

00:37:38.140 clots that

00:37:39.160 people think

00:37:39.760 might be

00:37:40.240 related to

00:37:41.160 the vaccinations.

00:37:43.560 And

00:37:44.000 Representative

00:37:45.220 Marjorie

00:37:45.920 Taylor

00:37:46.160 Green,

00:37:47.920 she also

00:37:48.600 weighed in

00:37:49.000 on this,

00:37:49.300 and she

00:37:49.440 says,

00:37:49.660 yes,

00:37:50.440 these huge

00:37:51.000 weird clots

00:37:51.600 are real,

00:37:53.300 and doctors

00:37:53.900 and bombers

00:37:54.540 have only been

00:37:55.280 seeing them

00:37:55.740 since the

00:37:56.160 vaccines came

00:37:56.880 out and

00:37:57.680 were mandated.

00:37:59.020 Now,

00:37:59.580 is that

00:37:59.960 true?

00:38:01.480 Do you

00:38:01.980 think that

00:38:02.700 there is a

00:38:03.660 massive

00:38:04.080 clotting

00:38:04.720 problem

00:38:05.120 that's so

00:38:07.480 massive and

00:38:08.080 obvious that

00:38:09.200 even Jimmy

00:38:09.820 Doer,

00:38:10.280 who's not

00:38:10.720 in the

00:38:10.980 medical world,

00:38:11.740 can see

00:38:12.900 that it's

00:38:13.320 clearly a

00:38:13.880 big problem,

00:38:15.640 and that

00:38:16.120 Marjorie Taylor

00:38:16.760 Green is

00:38:17.900 reporting it,

00:38:18.700 and that

00:38:18.960 there's,

00:38:19.920 they would

00:38:20.780 say,

00:38:21.800 that there's

00:38:22.900 observable

00:38:25.080 massive

00:38:25.780 difference to

00:38:26.880 what it was.

00:38:28.640 So,

00:38:29.300 what do you

00:38:30.040 think would

00:38:30.360 happen if

00:38:30.860 you did a

00:38:31.820 Google search

00:38:32.560 to try to

00:38:33.660 find out if

00:38:34.340 this is real,

00:38:35.540 or if it's

00:38:37.240 been debunked?

00:38:38.260 Because pretty

00:38:39.020 much every

00:38:39.540 pandemic issue

00:38:40.820 is either

00:38:42.060 confirmed when

00:38:43.040 you Google

00:38:43.480 it, it

00:38:44.500 might be

00:38:44.820 wrong, but

00:38:46.060 you know,

00:38:46.720 the science

00:38:47.380 will confirm

00:38:47.940 it, or

00:38:49.380 it's debunked,

00:38:50.560 or it's

00:38:51.920 debunked.

00:38:52.640 Do you know

00:38:52.900 what happens

00:38:53.260 if you Google

00:38:53.860 this?

00:38:54.600 If you look

00:38:55.120 for, are

00:38:56.020 these clots

00:38:57.500 caused by the

00:38:58.200 vaccination, or

00:38:59.280 you look for

00:38:59.740 John Campbell,

00:39:01.300 do you know

00:39:01.580 what you'll

00:39:01.820 find?

00:39:02.080 you'll find

00:39:04.500 this one

00:39:05.560 study that

00:39:07.100 says getting

00:39:07.800 COVID causes

00:39:09.800 clots, and

00:39:13.960 that we

00:39:15.180 could see

00:39:15.680 that happening

00:39:16.400 before the

00:39:17.300 vaccinations

00:39:17.880 were even

00:39:18.600 available.

00:39:21.580 I'm not

00:39:22.280 saying it's

00:39:22.660 true.

00:39:23.800 Well, hold

00:39:24.200 on, hold

00:39:24.560 on.

00:39:25.280 Half of you

00:39:25.880 just called

00:39:26.320 me a

00:39:27.120 vaccination

00:39:27.680 supporter,

00:39:29.100 right?

00:39:30.060 Because that's

00:39:31.000 what happens.

00:39:32.080 If you try

00:39:32.580 to add any

00:39:33.380 nuance to

00:39:34.020 the discussion,

00:39:35.280 half of the

00:39:35.760 world goes,

00:39:36.520 oh, you

00:39:37.000 love the

00:39:38.300 vaccines,

00:39:39.000 Scott, get

00:39:40.160 some more

00:39:40.520 boosters.

00:39:41.480 Why don't

00:39:41.840 you get

00:39:42.120 some more

00:39:42.440 boosters,

00:39:43.020 Scott?

00:39:43.800 Right?

00:39:44.600 That's what's

00:39:45.080 happening right

00:39:45.560 now.

00:39:46.100 There's a whole

00:39:46.480 bunch of you

00:39:47.000 are all mad.

00:39:48.160 You're mad at

00:39:48.780 me.

00:39:50.180 Why are you

00:39:50.780 mad at me?

00:39:51.320 I'm just

00:39:51.640 telling you that

00:39:52.160 the Google

00:39:52.560 search engine

00:39:53.180 doesn't work.

00:39:55.120 It is very

00:39:56.040 obvious, very

00:39:57.640 obvious when you

00:39:58.460 do your own

00:39:58.920 Google search,

00:39:59.580 and by the way,

00:40:00.040 you should.

00:40:01.060 You should.

00:40:02.820 Here's what

00:40:03.320 you won't

00:40:03.680 find.

00:40:04.640 You will

00:40:05.280 not find

00:40:05.820 confirmation

00:40:06.580 that it's

00:40:07.320 real.

00:40:08.760 But here's

00:40:09.600 the scary

00:40:10.060 part.

00:40:11.800 You won't

00:40:12.720 find a

00:40:13.200 debunk.

00:40:15.420 Now, that's

00:40:16.420 scary.

00:40:18.420 It's a

00:40:19.140 major claim

00:40:20.020 that probably

00:40:21.280 all of you

00:40:21.800 have seen,

00:40:22.340 right?

00:40:23.000 Is there

00:40:23.360 anybody here

00:40:23.900 who has not

00:40:24.520 seen the

00:40:25.080 claim?

00:40:25.740 I mean,

00:40:25.960 it's literally

00:40:26.380 part of the

00:40:26.880 language.

00:40:27.920 Claw shot.

00:40:28.500 Am I

00:40:29.740 right?

00:40:30.500 It's the

00:40:30.960 most common

00:40:32.040 claim, the

00:40:33.420 single most

00:40:34.160 common claim,

00:40:35.760 and if you

00:40:36.180 do a Google

00:40:36.700 search, you

00:40:37.560 will find

00:40:38.100 neither

00:40:38.720 confirmation

00:40:39.960 that it

00:40:40.600 exists, nor,

00:40:42.560 and here's

00:40:43.080 the scary

00:40:43.520 part, a

00:40:45.220 debunk.

00:40:47.000 You won't

00:40:47.680 find either

00:40:48.140 one.

00:40:49.140 If you

00:40:49.720 Google search,

00:40:50.460 it would be

00:40:50.820 like, well,

00:40:52.040 maybe the

00:40:52.620 COVID itself

00:40:53.680 caused some

00:40:54.560 in this

00:40:55.540 one study

00:40:56.360 that just

00:40:58.000 happened to

00:40:58.460 be before

00:40:58.900 the

00:40:59.060 vaccinations.

00:41:01.440 So, here's

00:41:02.700 all I would

00:41:03.140 like to say

00:41:03.580 about this.

00:41:05.920 I don't

00:41:06.640 know what's

00:41:07.060 true about

00:41:07.440 anything,

00:41:08.420 because all

00:41:09.240 of our

00:41:09.660 sources of

00:41:10.360 information are

00:41:11.080 so deeply,

00:41:12.120 deeply corrupted

00:41:12.860 that it's

00:41:14.380 actually possible

00:41:15.380 this could be

00:41:16.000 a massive

00:41:16.680 national problem

00:41:17.580 and we

00:41:18.020 wouldn't know

00:41:18.500 about it.

00:41:19.820 That's

00:41:20.380 actually

00:41:20.840 possible.

00:41:22.560 I think

00:41:23.360 it's unlikely.

00:41:24.560 if I had

00:41:25.280 to place

00:41:25.660 my bet,

00:41:26.280 I would

00:41:26.500 place this

00:41:26.960 is not

00:41:27.640 real.

00:41:29.160 And the

00:41:29.460 reason is,

00:41:30.120 if this

00:41:30.540 were real,

00:41:32.060 I don't

00:41:32.540 know how

00:41:32.960 even Google

00:41:33.740 could keep

00:41:34.240 it silent,

00:41:35.160 because at

00:41:35.660 the very

00:41:36.020 least,

00:41:36.620 you'd see

00:41:36.980 massive

00:41:37.440 doctors

00:41:37.980 posting on

00:41:38.740 it on

00:41:39.100 X,

00:41:40.560 because there

00:41:41.480 must be

00:41:41.900 plenty of

00:41:42.560 places where

00:41:43.100 they could

00:41:43.660 determine this

00:41:44.320 is true.

00:41:45.440 And you'd

00:41:45.860 also see

00:41:47.500 lots of

00:41:48.480 interviews.

00:41:50.160 And then

00:41:50.780 somebody like

00:41:51.440 Tucker Carlson

00:41:52.260 would say,

00:41:53.200 right, but

00:41:53.620 can you

00:41:54.620 show me

00:41:54.920 your work

00:41:55.460 and did

00:41:56.960 you really

00:41:57.280 test this

00:41:57.980 and did

00:41:58.500 you test

00:41:58.880 it against

00:41:59.240 a control

00:41:59.760 group and

00:42:00.460 all of

00:42:01.360 that stuff.

00:42:02.560 So the

00:42:03.460 lack of

00:42:04.020 that and

00:42:05.100 the fact

00:42:05.460 that it's

00:42:05.780 not even

00:42:06.220 on X

00:42:06.900 in any

00:42:07.940 robust form

00:42:08.820 where they're

00:42:09.180 showing both

00:42:09.680 sides makes

00:42:11.220 me think it's

00:42:11.720 not real.

00:42:13.380 But let me

00:42:14.080 say very

00:42:14.520 clearly, it

00:42:15.240 could be.

00:42:16.420 I don't

00:42:17.060 know.

00:42:17.800 My main

00:42:18.540 problem is

00:42:19.000 there's no

00:42:19.360 way to know.

00:42:20.600 But let me

00:42:21.060 tell you this.

00:42:21.940 Let me tell

00:42:22.380 you the thing I

00:42:22.880 know for

00:42:23.220 sure.

00:42:26.460 Here's the

00:42:27.040 thing I

00:42:27.300 know with

00:42:27.880 100%

00:42:28.440 certainty.

00:42:29.440 If you're

00:42:30.160 sure you

00:42:30.760 know it

00:42:31.100 causes clots,

00:42:32.020 that's not

00:42:32.420 rational.

00:42:33.840 If you're

00:42:34.620 sure it

00:42:35.020 doesn't,

00:42:36.020 that's not

00:42:36.500 rational either.

00:42:38.220 Those two

00:42:38.920 positions are

00:42:39.620 the irrational

00:42:40.300 ones.

00:42:41.260 The rational

00:42:41.860 ones is you

00:42:42.540 don't have any

00:42:43.060 information that

00:42:43.800 you could

00:42:44.520 depend on,

00:42:46.080 plus or

00:42:46.940 minus.

00:42:47.940 There's just

00:42:48.460 no information.

00:42:49.100 there's that.

00:42:55.600 All right.

00:42:57.500 There's a

00:42:58.140 panel of

00:42:58.620 experts who

00:42:59.220 got together

00:42:59.720 to decide

00:43:00.480 who are the

00:43:00.920 best and

00:43:01.300 worst presidents.

00:43:02.620 It turns out

00:43:03.200 that Joe

00:43:04.000 Biden,

00:43:04.720 huh, he

00:43:05.440 came in

00:43:05.840 14th.

00:43:06.620 That's not

00:43:07.060 bad, is

00:43:07.480 it?

00:43:08.300 14th out

00:43:08.880 of 46?

00:43:12.440 That's not

00:43:13.020 bad.

00:43:13.940 Not bad.

00:43:14.400 But where

00:43:15.740 did Donald

00:43:16.280 Trump go?

00:43:16.760 Oh, dead

00:43:17.240 last.

00:43:18.140 Dead last.

00:43:19.620 Huh.

00:43:20.080 Because the

00:43:21.120 panel of

00:43:21.620 experts is

00:43:22.700 something you

00:43:23.180 could totally

00:43:23.700 believe in

00:43:24.240 2024.

00:43:25.860 Am I

00:43:26.560 right?

00:43:27.460 There's

00:43:27.880 nothing more

00:43:28.560 reliable than

00:43:29.820 a panel of

00:43:30.520 experts in

00:43:31.680 an election

00:43:32.200 year in

00:43:33.220 2024, and

00:43:34.900 it's on the

00:43:35.340 internet, because

00:43:37.240 that's totally

00:43:37.880 something you

00:43:39.320 believe.

00:43:40.300 Now, where

00:43:41.280 in the story

00:43:41.760 does it tell

00:43:42.300 you the

00:43:42.740 political

00:43:43.220 affiliation of

00:43:44.140 the panel of

00:43:44.720 experts?

00:43:45.500 Nowhere.

00:43:46.360 We don't

00:43:46.880 need to

00:43:47.340 know, because

00:43:48.980 you know

00:43:49.280 exactly what's

00:43:50.000 going on.

00:43:50.840 We live in a

00:43:51.780 world in which

00:43:52.400 every panel of

00:43:53.340 experts, every

00:43:54.560 fake fact

00:43:55.280 checker, every

00:43:56.380 watchdog group

00:43:57.560 like the ADL,

00:43:59.740 and, you

00:44:00.400 know, the

00:44:00.620 southern whatever

00:44:01.340 group, they're

00:44:03.720 all fake.

00:44:05.680 BLM, fake. 1.00

00:44:07.640 Antifa, fake.

00:44:10.060 Patriot Front,

00:44:11.640 fake.

00:44:12.200 panel of

00:44:13.680 experts, fake.

00:44:16.720 Fact check

00:44:17.580 organizations, fake.

00:44:20.800 Southern

00:44:21.440 Poverty Law

00:44:22.400 Center, fake.

00:44:24.780 Now, probably all

00:44:25.900 of them do enough

00:44:26.840 real stuff that

00:44:27.780 they can point to

00:44:28.480 the real stuff.

00:44:29.540 The news, the

00:44:30.900 Washington Post,

00:44:32.660 fake.

00:44:33.740 They're all

00:44:34.540 fake.

00:44:34.920 fake.

00:44:36.640 Yeah.

00:44:37.300 So you didn't

00:44:38.240 need to know

00:44:38.920 that this wasn't

00:44:40.680 reliable.

00:44:41.380 You only needed to

00:44:42.140 know it was a

00:44:42.640 panel of experts.

00:44:45.460 Let me give you a

00:44:46.840 test.

00:44:47.500 I'm going to see if

00:44:48.020 you've learned your

00:44:48.580 lesson.

00:44:48.960 Here's the test.

00:44:51.100 There's an

00:44:51.900 organization that's

00:44:52.960 not a government

00:44:53.980 organization, but

00:44:55.860 they're weighing in

00:44:57.200 on something important

00:44:58.180 in politics, but

00:44:59.500 they're not a

00:44:59.980 government organization.

00:45:01.760 Are they

00:45:02.140 credible?

00:45:03.240 No, they're

00:45:04.060 fake, and I

00:45:05.240 just made it up.

00:45:06.460 Even if they were

00:45:07.180 real, they'd be

00:45:07.760 fake.

00:45:08.520 100% of them are

00:45:09.640 fake.

00:45:10.200 There are no real

00:45:11.480 ones.

00:45:13.640 Real ones don't 0.98

00:45:14.500 exist.

00:45:17.120 If you think that

00:45:18.420 some are real and

00:45:20.360 some are not, you're

00:45:22.200 not paying attention

00:45:23.080 to anything.

00:45:26.260 No, they're all

00:45:27.400 fake, and they were 0.61

00:45:28.620 designed for that

00:45:29.540 purpose.

00:45:30.700 They're designed to

00:45:31.460 be fake.

00:45:31.860 They weren't

00:45:33.400 formed to be

00:45:34.140 real, and then

00:45:35.380 they drifted into

00:45:36.360 something else,

00:45:37.400 although the ADL

00:45:38.340 might have.

00:45:39.080 That might be an

00:45:39.920 exception.

00:45:40.640 They might have

00:45:41.060 done go-to-work at

00:45:41.820 one point, but now

00:45:42.480 they're just a fake

00:45:43.380 Democrat organization.

00:45:45.960 So, just learned

00:45:48.900 that.

00:45:50.880 There is a report,

00:45:52.680 and I don't know how

00:45:53.600 much credibility he

00:45:54.600 put on this, that

00:45:55.920 Fonnie Willis, the

00:45:57.900 DA there down in

00:45:59.760 Fulton, that much

00:46:03.000 of her campaign

00:46:03.860 finances are

00:46:04.840 sketchy.

00:46:07.240 Now, I don't

00:46:07.900 know much about

00:46:08.480 this story, and

00:46:09.600 it seems to be not

00:46:11.200 in any mainstream

00:46:12.080 press, so I'm

00:46:13.980 going to put a

00:46:14.820 question mark next

00:46:15.640 to it.

00:46:16.700 But there is a

00:46:17.840 question about her

00:46:19.680 campaign financing.

00:46:21.160 It looks a little

00:46:21.580 sketchy.

00:46:22.020 All right, speaking

00:46:24.760 of sketchy, there

00:46:26.080 is an alleged

00:46:26.860 trucker delivery

00:46:28.260 strike involving

00:46:29.480 New York City, which

00:46:30.480 would mean that

00:46:31.040 the truckers would

00:46:31.740 simply refuse for

00:46:33.460 seven days to

00:46:35.040 deliver anything to

00:46:35.840 New York City.

00:46:37.080 Now, seven days

00:46:37.840 would be enough to

00:46:38.480 make a point, but

00:46:40.220 presumably it

00:46:41.120 wouldn't crash the

00:46:42.380 city, nobody

00:46:43.020 would starve.

00:46:45.900 I would say keep

00:46:46.980 an eye on this

00:46:47.660 one.

00:46:48.540 I don't recommend

00:46:49.580 this because I think

00:46:51.060 the truckers

00:46:51.620 themselves are in

00:46:52.320 too much jeopardy.

00:46:54.360 I feel like the

00:46:55.780 truckers will all

00:46:56.880 be just targeted

00:46:57.740 and hunted, just

00:46:58.760 like Canada.

00:47:00.000 So I don't know

00:47:01.640 if it will make a

00:47:02.140 difference, but

00:47:04.100 we'll keep an eye

00:47:04.800 on that.

00:47:05.300 So this is sort

00:47:06.400 of an interesting

00:47:07.080 one to watch.

00:47:08.280 Is it my

00:47:08.700 imagination or has

00:47:09.640 there been a news

00:47:10.540 blackout on this

00:47:11.700 story in the

00:47:13.520 mainstream news?

00:47:14.520 Has anybody seen

00:47:15.200 the so-called

00:47:15.900 trucker thing in the

00:47:17.640 mainstream news?

00:47:19.240 Maybe just on Fox

00:47:20.280 News once or

00:47:21.040 twice?

00:47:23.220 I can't tell if

00:47:24.360 it's real or if

00:47:26.320 it's just somebody

00:47:27.120 wants to make it

00:47:27.820 real.

00:47:29.100 No, we'll keep

00:47:29.880 an eye on that.

00:47:32.540 All right, here

00:47:33.120 is another article

00:47:35.260 by Jonathan

00:47:36.180 Turley talking

00:47:38.040 again about the

00:47:39.140 lawfare against

00:47:40.320 Trump.

00:47:41.320 And here's

00:47:41.800 something he said

00:47:42.520 in his article

00:47:43.220 today.

00:47:44.260 He said,

00:47:45.080 quote,

00:47:45.640 having campaigned

00:47:46.880 on bagging Trump

00:47:48.040 on any basis,

00:47:49.140 he's talking about

00:47:49.780 Letitia James

00:47:50.520 here, he says,

00:47:51.320 having campaigned

00:47:52.160 on bagging Trump

00:47:53.220 on any basis,

00:47:54.500 James turned the

00:47:55.340 law into a virtual

00:47:56.280 license to hunt

00:47:57.440 him down along

00:47:58.800 with his family

00:47:59.540 and his associates.

00:48:02.160 Hunt.

00:48:04.240 There's Jonathan

00:48:05.120 Turley, who I

00:48:07.000 believe is not

00:48:08.400 prone to hyperbole.

00:48:09.920 I've been reading

00:48:10.480 him for a long

00:48:11.000 time.

00:48:11.660 He's not the

00:48:12.260 hyperbole guy.

00:48:13.740 He really does

00:48:14.620 show both sides.

00:48:15.420 I believe he's a

00:48:16.120 registered Democrat,

00:48:17.280 is voted mostly

00:48:18.080 Democrat.

00:48:18.820 I think I'm right

00:48:19.480 on that.

00:48:20.660 But he does try

00:48:21.840 to call balls

00:48:22.960 and strikes and

00:48:23.620 does a great job

00:48:24.380 of it.

00:48:25.360 And he's using

00:48:26.320 the word hunt.

00:48:28.660 Now, I would

00:48:29.360 like to remind you

00:48:30.140 some of my best

00:48:31.240 predictions.

00:48:32.740 Now, best doesn't

00:48:33.540 mean most accurate

00:48:34.440 because there are a

00:48:35.800 lot of things that

00:48:36.440 we all predict that

00:48:37.400 when it comes to

00:48:38.700 a lot of us

00:48:40.000 predicted it.

00:48:41.380 Right?

00:48:41.480 So, for example,

00:48:43.860 I don't take much

00:48:44.980 credit for predicting

00:48:46.060 that Biden would

00:48:48.240 not be able to

00:48:48.980 serve two terms

00:48:50.100 or even one

00:48:50.940 without his mental

00:48:53.320 health being a

00:48:54.460 gigantic problem.

00:48:56.760 So, I got that

00:48:57.680 right.

00:49:00.420 But I don't take a

00:49:01.480 lot of pride in

00:49:02.080 that because you

00:49:02.420 got that one right

00:49:02.940 too.

00:49:03.540 Am I right?

00:49:04.760 Did you all get

00:49:05.500 that one right?

00:49:07.280 I think you did.

00:49:08.520 I think almost

00:49:09.100 everybody got that

00:49:09.780 right.

00:49:09.900 So, I don't take a

00:49:10.840 lot of pride in

00:49:11.460 that one.

00:49:12.540 I take pride in

00:49:13.540 ones that were

00:49:14.360 absolutely off the

00:49:15.400 wall or seemed

00:49:17.200 like it and then

00:49:18.300 came true.

00:49:19.840 I predicted in

00:49:20.780 2020 that if

00:49:21.600 Biden won the

00:49:22.300 election that

00:49:23.020 Republicans would

00:49:24.000 be hunted.

00:49:25.100 It was the most

00:49:26.260 mocked I've ever

00:49:27.260 been for a

00:49:27.820 prediction.

00:49:29.620 And the trolls

00:49:30.920 came in and

00:49:31.440 it's like, ah,

00:49:32.400 mocked, they're

00:49:33.100 hunted.

00:49:33.980 Oh, show us

00:49:34.980 who's hunted,

00:49:35.900 Scott.

00:49:36.400 Who got hunted?

00:49:38.440 Well, the

00:49:38.940 January 6th

00:49:40.840 people.

00:49:42.000 Canada, the

00:49:42.880 truckers.

00:49:43.940 And now even

00:49:44.840 the quite

00:49:45.520 reasonable

00:49:46.020 Jonathan

00:49:46.700 Turley uses

00:49:47.460 the word

00:49:47.880 hunt in

00:49:50.480 this context.

00:49:52.240 The law

00:49:52.700 fair looks

00:49:53.120 like hunting

00:49:53.580 to me.

00:49:54.760 The

00:49:55.240 cancellations

00:49:56.120 of one

00:49:56.640 after another

00:49:57.700 of everybody

00:49:58.280 who supports

00:49:58.780 Trump, that

00:49:59.880 looks like

00:50:00.260 hunting to

00:50:00.760 me.

00:50:01.980 So, that

00:50:02.620 was one of

00:50:03.000 my better

00:50:03.420 predictions.

00:50:04.720 All right,

00:50:04.920 let me give you

00:50:05.360 some idea of,

00:50:06.240 I'll just remind

00:50:06.940 you to brag a

00:50:07.900 little bit,

00:50:08.220 some of my

00:50:09.240 least likely

00:50:10.340 predictions.

00:50:11.500 My 2016

00:50:12.360 prediction that

00:50:13.140 Trump would

00:50:13.520 win when he

00:50:14.620 was a

00:50:15.000 20-to-1

00:50:15.620 underdog.

00:50:17.680 Now, I

00:50:18.220 also predicted

00:50:18.960 he would win

00:50:20.460 in 2020, but

00:50:21.520 I didn't really

00:50:22.100 feel it.

00:50:24.040 I didn't feel it

00:50:25.020 like I did in

00:50:25.580 2016.

00:50:26.660 But if he

00:50:27.440 had won, I

00:50:28.720 wouldn't have

00:50:29.020 taken a lot of

00:50:29.700 credit for that

00:50:30.280 because a lot

00:50:30.760 of you would

00:50:31.180 have predicted

00:50:31.600 the same

00:50:32.020 thing, right?

00:50:33.120 So, no big

00:50:34.560 surprise there.

00:50:36.160 I predicted

00:50:36.960 that the

00:50:37.460 so-called

00:50:37.860 sonic weapon

00:50:38.820 for the

00:50:39.860 embassies was

00:50:40.640 bullshit.

00:50:41.560 I believe I'm

00:50:42.420 the only one.

00:50:44.420 I didn't see

00:50:45.660 any public

00:50:46.300 person say

00:50:47.500 on day one,

00:50:48.300 this is obviously

00:50:48.980 a mass hysteria.

00:50:50.220 It's one of my

00:50:50.820 best.

00:50:51.960 And I was

00:50:52.620 positive about it.

00:50:53.400 There was no

00:50:53.720 doubt about it.

00:50:56.120 I also

00:50:56.940 predicted, a lot

00:50:58.000 of people don't

00:50:58.480 remember this, but

00:50:59.280 when the

00:50:59.820 project Warp

00:51:01.140 Speed was first

00:51:01.960 announced, I

00:51:02.760 predicted publicly

00:51:04.860 a number of

00:51:05.880 times that the

00:51:07.040 vaccinations they

00:51:07.920 produced wouldn't

00:51:08.660 work.

00:51:10.040 How many of you

00:51:10.780 remember that?

00:51:12.100 I said it a few

00:51:12.740 times.

00:51:14.100 I said they

00:51:14.880 wouldn't work.

00:51:15.620 I did get them

00:51:16.380 anyway, but I

00:51:17.640 did predict they

00:51:18.240 wouldn't work.

00:51:19.760 Why I got them

00:51:20.680 is a different

00:51:21.160 story.

00:51:22.960 I predicted that

00:51:24.300 Russia would not 0.99

00:51:25.100 be able to

00:51:25.600 conquer Ukraine 0.97

00:51:29.660 in two weeks

00:51:30.640 like everybody

00:51:31.160 said.

00:51:31.420 now I didn't

00:51:33.160 make a prediction

00:51:34.020 about what

00:51:34.580 would happen

00:51:34.960 if it took

00:51:35.400 years.

00:51:36.640 And I didn't

00:51:37.040 make a prediction

00:51:37.600 about any

00:51:38.440 particular domains

00:51:39.660 that they did

00:51:40.320 take control

00:51:41.320 of.

00:51:41.840 I just said

00:51:42.380 they wouldn't

00:51:42.620 take Kiev.

00:51:43.800 And it would

00:51:44.220 be because the

00:51:45.160 Ukrainians would 0.98

00:51:45.840 have better,

00:51:48.080 smarter weapons

00:51:48.840 than Russia 0.78

00:51:49.840 might have

00:51:50.220 counted on.

00:51:51.300 And they would

00:51:51.660 have the home

00:51:52.120 court advantage.

00:51:53.480 And that's

00:51:53.820 what happened.

00:51:55.140 Now I also

00:51:55.860 made the worst

00:51:56.500 prediction that

00:51:57.300 Russia was only 0.98

00:51:58.260 bluffing and

00:51:58.800 wouldn't enter

00:51:59.400 Ukraine because

00:52:01.520 it would be

00:52:01.940 disastrous.

00:52:03.460 Totally wrong.

00:52:04.960 But I was right

00:52:05.780 that they didn't

00:52:06.280 win right away.

00:52:08.640 I'm the only

00:52:09.340 person who told

00:52:10.060 you that Fauci

00:52:11.180 was lying when

00:52:12.760 he first said

00:52:13.460 that face masks

00:52:14.400 don't work.

00:52:15.800 Now it turns out

00:52:16.500 they don't work,

00:52:17.800 but what I spotted

00:52:18.720 was that it was

00:52:19.460 a lie, separate

00:52:20.840 from the question

00:52:21.440 of whether they

00:52:21.900 work.

00:52:22.640 I knew he was

00:52:23.380 lying when he

00:52:24.100 said it.

00:52:24.820 And then he

00:52:25.260 later admitted it.

00:52:26.040 I'm the only

00:52:27.080 one, I'm the

00:52:28.560 only one in

00:52:29.700 the entire

00:52:30.080 country who

00:52:31.140 said the day

00:52:31.820 he said it,

00:52:33.000 that's a lie.

00:52:34.420 And then he

00:52:34.880 admitted it

00:52:35.360 later.

00:52:36.260 Nobody else

00:52:36.880 got that one.

00:52:40.800 I also said

00:52:41.740 Kamala Harris

00:52:42.340 would likely be

00:52:44.300 the nominee

00:52:44.840 and might be

00:52:46.000 president.

00:52:47.120 But she was 0.91

00:52:47.860 for two hours.

00:52:49.020 I'm not going

00:52:49.700 to take credit

00:52:50.180 for that one.

00:52:51.020 It's just a weird

00:52:51.680 coincidence that

00:52:52.740 that one was

00:52:53.400 right for two

00:52:54.080 hours.

00:52:54.400 Ali Alexander

00:52:56.940 also said

00:52:58.200 about the

00:52:59.160 masks.

00:53:01.160 I don't

00:53:01.720 remember that.

00:53:05.280 Well, let's

00:53:06.040 see.

00:53:08.500 President

00:53:09.020 Lula of

00:53:10.760 Brazil is

00:53:12.380 no longer

00:53:12.920 welcome in

00:53:13.600 Israel.

00:53:14.760 They're mad at

00:53:15.320 him because he

00:53:16.100 said that what

00:53:18.200 Israel is doing 1.00

00:53:19.020 in Gaza is a 0.96

00:53:19.860 Holocaust. 0.77

00:53:22.720 Here's my

00:53:23.520 little tip.

00:53:26.020 If any of

00:53:26.840 you would like

00:53:27.460 to never be

00:53:28.240 invited to

00:53:28.840 Israel again,

00:53:30.660 just call

00:53:31.720 anything they

00:53:32.340 do a

00:53:32.640 Holocaust. 0.77

00:53:33.960 Not going

00:53:34.580 to be

00:53:34.760 invited.

00:53:35.980 Your

00:53:36.320 invitations

00:53:36.900 will dry

00:53:37.480 up immediately

00:53:38.100 if you do

00:53:39.200 that.

00:53:39.980 But I

00:53:41.100 would like

00:53:41.360 to add

00:53:41.580 this.

00:53:43.260 The biggest

00:53:44.120 asset that

00:53:44.760 any country

00:53:45.280 has,

00:53:46.780 besides maybe

00:53:47.780 nuclear weapons

00:53:48.640 and even in

00:53:49.400 this case it

00:53:50.500 applies,

00:53:50.880 is the

00:53:52.700 psychology of

00:53:53.520 the country

00:53:53.900 and also

00:53:55.540 the psychology

00:53:56.420 of the other

00:53:57.160 countries and

00:53:57.940 how they see

00:53:58.480 you.

00:53:59.340 Now Israel's 1.00

00:54:00.020 had this

00:54:00.360 gigantic asset,

00:54:02.420 ironically it's

00:54:03.060 an asset,

00:54:03.780 which is the

00:54:04.340 Holocaust, 0.55

00:54:05.960 which is

00:54:06.640 we all see

00:54:09.500 their situation

00:54:10.340 as special

00:54:11.560 because the

00:54:13.020 Holocaust is 0.99

00:54:13.820 unparalleled in

00:54:15.060 our imaginations

00:54:16.080 and in history.

00:54:17.880 I'm sure it's

00:54:18.840 not unparalleled

00:54:20.200 but we see

00:54:21.620 it that way

00:54:22.020 now.

00:54:23.000 And if

00:54:24.740 you lose

00:54:25.240 that, if

00:54:26.580 you're Israeli

00:54:27.060 and you lose

00:54:27.600 that psychological

00:54:28.320 gigantic asset

00:54:30.780 that you get a

00:54:32.720 little bit of

00:54:33.180 special treatment

00:54:33.920 and consideration

00:54:34.680 because nobody

00:54:35.700 else that we

00:54:36.640 know went

00:54:37.180 through a

00:54:37.520 Holocaust quite 0.96

00:54:38.580 like that.

00:54:39.460 Yes, you can

00:54:40.100 mention the

00:54:40.540 other Holocaust 0.70

00:54:41.020 and I accept

00:54:41.900 that.

00:54:42.320 But in our

00:54:43.240 consciousness,

00:54:45.440 the World

00:54:46.260 War II

00:54:46.620 Holocaust, 0.55

00:54:47.000 is the

00:54:48.980 one that's

00:54:49.340 in the

00:54:49.540 front of

00:54:49.760 your head.

00:54:52.080 In my

00:54:52.800 opinion, I

00:54:53.640 think Israel 0.93

00:54:54.700 has largely

00:54:55.580 spent that

00:54:57.300 asset.

00:54:58.460 Now it

00:54:58.820 doesn't mean

00:54:59.260 it wasn't

00:54:59.620 worth it,

00:55:00.560 so I'm

00:55:00.860 not going

00:55:01.120 to say

00:55:01.320 it's a

00:55:01.580 mistake,

00:55:02.340 but they're

00:55:03.280 very pointedly

00:55:04.140 spending that

00:55:04.860 asset.

00:55:06.000 And when

00:55:06.320 it's done,

00:55:07.520 the rest of

00:55:08.260 the world

00:55:08.640 is not going

00:55:09.240 to say you

00:55:10.720 get special

00:55:11.300 treatment because

00:55:12.060 of the

00:55:12.280 Holocaust. 0.77

00:55:13.720 They're going

00:55:14.080 to say things

00:55:16.540 were, bad

00:55:17.300 things were

00:55:17.820 done to

00:55:18.360 Jews and

00:55:19.080 Jews did 0.98

00:55:19.560 bad things.

00:55:20.260 It's a tie.

00:55:21.400 I'm not

00:55:21.800 saying that,

00:55:22.660 just to be

00:55:23.140 clear.

00:55:23.680 I'm not

00:55:24.060 saying that.

00:55:24.900 I'm saying

00:55:25.300 that's what

00:55:25.700 people were

00:55:26.120 going to

00:55:26.340 say.

00:55:26.940 That would

00:55:27.180 be a

00:55:27.700 common

00:55:28.000 opinion.

00:55:29.200 So I

00:55:30.460 wonder how

00:55:31.040 much of an

00:55:31.480 impact this

00:55:32.000 will have.

00:55:33.020 If it

00:55:33.620 turned out

00:55:34.080 that the

00:55:34.540 outcome

00:55:35.020 was that

00:55:38.380 Israel gets 0.99

00:55:39.000 full control

00:55:39.780 and it

00:55:40.140 becomes one

00:55:41.080 state and

00:55:41.920 100 years

00:55:42.840 from now

00:55:43.160 Israel's bigger 1.00

00:55:44.140 and controls

00:55:44.760 all that

00:55:45.140 territory,

00:55:45.980 you're going

00:55:46.480 to say it

00:55:46.820 was all

00:55:47.080 worth it.

00:55:47.920 And that

00:55:48.140 was a good

00:55:48.880 investment.

00:55:50.160 They gave

00:55:50.640 up the

00:55:51.060 Holocaust 0.95

00:55:51.440 asset, but

00:55:53.380 in return

00:55:53.920 they got

00:55:54.340 much safer,

00:55:55.740 perhaps.

00:55:56.500 That might

00:55:56.880 be the

00:55:57.140 outcome.

00:56:00.880 Representative

00:56:01.360 Tlaib says

00:56:03.400 don't fight

00:56:03.940 for Biden

00:56:04.980 because of

00:56:06.060 the Gaza

00:56:06.380 situation.

00:56:07.380 That's pretty

00:56:08.000 interesting.

00:56:09.260 So the

00:56:10.140 leftists of

00:56:11.080 the leftists

00:56:11.800 say don't

00:56:12.820 vote.

00:56:13.040 Now she

00:56:13.400 doesn't say

00:56:13.980 do vote

00:56:14.560 for Trump.

00:56:16.680 That would

00:56:17.360 be going

00:56:17.720 too far.

00:56:19.020 But it's

00:56:19.860 interesting that

00:56:20.480 she broke 0.84

00:56:20.880 ranks.

00:56:22.980 And then

00:56:28.500 my last

00:56:29.720 story here,

00:56:31.320 which is one

00:56:31.840 of my

00:56:32.080 favorites,

00:56:32.860 I get this

00:56:33.440 also from

00:56:33.980 the Amuse

00:56:34.660 account on

00:56:35.700 X, which

00:56:36.540 you should

00:56:36.860 follow.

00:56:38.460 And this

00:56:41.280 is so

00:56:41.640 diabolically

00:56:42.520 clever. 0.51

00:56:43.900 that I'm

00:56:44.420 sort of

00:56:44.720 obsessed with

00:56:45.360 it.

00:56:45.600 It's not

00:56:45.940 really going

00:56:46.480 to happen,

00:56:47.000 but I'm

00:56:47.200 kind of

00:56:47.480 obsessed with

00:56:48.080 it.

00:56:49.840 So Amuse

00:56:50.440 says,

00:56:51.260 thought,

00:56:52.000 as long

00:56:52.620 as mail-in

00:56:53.220 ballots are

00:56:53.840 allowed,

00:56:54.640 all drug

00:56:55.200 tests should

00:56:55.680 be mail-in

00:56:56.320 too.

00:57:00.480 Oh,

00:57:01.000 wow.

00:57:03.140 Did that

00:57:03.760 hit you the

00:57:04.300 way it

00:57:04.520 hit me?

00:57:06.120 Now, by

00:57:06.900 itself, it's

00:57:07.760 just a really

00:57:08.320 clever observation.

00:57:10.140 It doesn't

00:57:10.640 really have any

00:57:11.140 impact on

00:57:11.780 anything in

00:57:12.320 the real

00:57:12.540 world.

00:57:13.280 Here's how

00:57:13.740 it could.

00:57:15.000 Imagine if

00:57:15.660 you will,

00:57:16.460 somebody like

00:57:17.160 Matt Gaetz,

00:57:18.860 just to use

00:57:19.380 an example

00:57:19.860 person,

00:57:20.840 imagine if

00:57:21.480 he tried to

00:57:22.260 flow some

00:57:23.020 legislation

00:57:23.640 to allow

00:57:25.280 all drug

00:57:26.440 tests to be

00:57:27.160 mail-in

00:57:27.640 in the

00:57:28.360 corporate

00:57:28.640 world.

00:57:29.080 and that

00:57:30.860 his argument

00:57:31.540 is that

00:57:32.380 we've

00:57:32.680 proven that

00:57:33.340 mail-in

00:57:33.820 is a

00:57:35.620 safe

00:57:36.020 system

00:57:36.620 and we

00:57:37.520 should

00:57:37.660 extend it

00:57:38.360 to people

00:57:39.620 who may

00:57:40.000 have some

00:57:40.480 shyness

00:57:41.040 about

00:57:42.140 peeing in

00:57:42.800 front of

00:57:43.080 other people.

00:57:44.400 Now, I

00:57:44.760 happen to

00:57:45.080 be one of

00:57:45.440 those people.

00:57:46.720 If I

00:57:47.340 were in a

00:57:47.680 corporate

00:57:47.940 environment

00:57:48.400 where I

00:57:48.760 had to

00:57:49.020 take a

00:57:49.320 drug test,

00:57:49.840 I actually

00:57:50.300 physically

00:57:51.180 couldn't do

00:57:51.800 it because

00:57:53.060 physically you

00:57:53.980 need to be

00:57:54.420 somewhere around

00:57:55.340 where somebody

00:57:56.580 either watches

00:57:57.180 or could

00:57:57.720 listen to

00:57:59.020 you urinating

00:57:59.800 in a cup.

00:58:00.920 I would

00:58:01.260 never be

00:58:01.620 able to

00:58:01.820 do that.

00:58:03.280 And probably

00:58:03.840 5% of the

00:58:04.740 country couldn't

00:58:05.340 do that.

00:58:06.620 Are you one

00:58:07.100 of them?

00:58:09.220 Tell me in

00:58:09.880 the comments

00:58:10.320 if you could

00:58:10.880 do that.

00:58:11.720 Somebody's

00:58:12.140 listening and

00:58:13.400 you've got to

00:58:13.880 perform.

00:58:14.620 Could you do

00:58:15.080 it?

00:58:15.380 I can't do

00:58:15.940 it.

00:58:17.060 I'm seeing a 0.98

00:58:17.780 number of

00:58:18.080 people.

00:58:18.680 It's probably

00:58:18.960 in the 5-10%

00:58:19.820 range,

00:58:20.280 something like

00:58:20.540 that.

00:58:21.200 Now, that

00:58:21.640 would be

00:58:21.940 enough

00:58:22.320 legitimate

00:58:23.080 health reason

00:58:24.040 to say that

00:58:26.000 mail-in

00:58:26.500 drug tests

00:58:27.200 should be

00:58:28.520 confidential

00:58:29.760 and you

00:58:30.860 should be

00:58:31.300 allowed to

00:58:31.760 mail it in

00:58:32.320 if you're

00:58:32.920 applying for

00:58:33.560 a corporate

00:58:33.980 job.

00:58:35.520 Wait, what

00:58:36.080 are you

00:58:36.280 saying?

00:58:37.000 You're saying

00:58:37.480 that would

00:58:37.860 lead to

00:58:38.560 what?

00:58:40.640 Massive

00:58:41.160 fraud?

00:58:41.980 No.

00:58:43.440 No.

00:58:44.800 What are

00:58:45.420 you thinking?

00:58:46.680 Mail-in

00:58:47.500 drug tests

00:58:48.680 are just as

00:58:49.660 safe as

00:58:50.160 mail-in

00:58:50.640 ballots and

00:58:51.640 we know

00:58:52.160 that mail-in

00:58:52.840 ballots are

00:58:53.600 safe because

00:58:54.680 we just had

00:58:55.340 the courts

00:58:55.840 find absolutely

00:58:56.840 no problems

00:58:57.640 with them.

00:58:58.700 Am I

00:58:59.040 right?

00:59:00.040 Name me

00:59:00.420 one court

00:59:01.520 that ruled

00:59:02.820 that mail-in

00:59:03.520 ballots made

00:59:04.200 the election

00:59:04.820 illegitimate.

00:59:05.760 None.

00:59:06.920 None.

00:59:08.080 So since

00:59:08.740 the court

00:59:09.160 systems,

00:59:09.820 according to

00:59:10.280 every Democrat

00:59:10.940 in the world,

00:59:12.020 have ruled

00:59:12.860 that there's

00:59:13.740 no problems,

00:59:14.800 no problems

00:59:15.640 with mail-in

00:59:16.300 ballots,

00:59:17.120 we should

00:59:17.560 extend that

00:59:18.280 by legislation,

00:59:19.960 by legislation,

00:59:22.620 to allow

00:59:23.320 mail-in

00:59:24.280 drug tests.

00:59:28.040 Is that

00:59:28.780 brilliant?

00:59:30.260 Is that

00:59:30.980 like the

00:59:31.340 best idea

00:59:31.940 you've heard

00:59:32.400 all day?

00:59:33.980 I mean,

00:59:34.360 it's almost

00:59:34.940 as good

00:59:35.420 as solving

00:59:36.940 those pyramid

00:59:37.680 rocks.

00:59:39.520 Yeah.

00:59:40.280 Now,

00:59:40.740 and just to

00:59:41.280 be clear,

00:59:42.020 nobody would

00:59:42.580 ever vote

00:59:43.080 for that,

00:59:44.280 right?

00:59:45.020 Nor would

00:59:45.840 you maybe

00:59:46.320 want them

00:59:46.780 to.

00:59:47.760 I mean,

00:59:48.120 in my case,

00:59:49.280 I'd like it

00:59:50.360 if I were

00:59:51.280 ever in that

00:59:51.700 position.

00:59:52.060 but it

00:59:55.200 would force

00:59:55.840 people to

00:59:56.340 talk about

00:59:56.860 it,

00:59:57.060 it would

00:59:57.280 force it

00:59:57.780 into headlines,

00:59:58.740 it would

00:59:59.060 force Democrats

01:00:00.080 in every

01:00:00.640 big company

01:00:01.200 to say,

01:00:02.260 mail-in

01:00:02.740 is not

01:00:03.280 secure.

01:00:05.760 Now,

01:00:06.300 of course,

01:00:06.640 they would

01:00:06.880 try to

01:00:07.200 say,

01:00:07.980 oh,

01:00:08.380 you

01:00:08.840 right-wing

01:00:10.700 white supremacists

01:00:12.840 are trying to

01:00:13.940 compare two

01:00:14.500 things that

01:00:14.940 can't be

01:00:15.320 compared.

01:00:15.840 They're

01:00:15.980 different.

01:00:17.100 Of course

01:00:17.700 they're

01:00:17.860 different.

01:00:19.560 Is that

01:00:20.240 comparison

01:00:20.700 fair?

01:00:21.920 Eh,

01:00:22.300 no.

01:00:24.220 Not

01:00:24.700 really,

01:00:25.500 because

01:00:25.980 analogies

01:00:26.600 should never

01:00:27.060 win you

01:00:27.380 an argument.

01:00:28.640 I say

01:00:29.060 that twice

01:00:30.600 a week.

01:00:31.560 Analogies

01:00:32.100 should never

01:00:32.460 win you

01:00:32.820 an argument.

01:00:33.780 So you

01:00:34.100 shouldn't

01:00:34.500 change

01:00:35.020 mail-in

01:00:35.820 voting

01:00:36.460 because of

01:00:37.100 something about

01:00:37.660 pissing in a

01:00:38.260 bottle.

01:00:39.400 Do we

01:00:40.020 agree?

01:00:41.900 You

01:00:42.400 shouldn't

01:00:42.820 change your

01:00:43.340 voting system

01:00:44.160 because of

01:00:45.800 pissing in a

01:00:46.340 bottle.

01:00:47.200 They're just

01:00:47.860 not comparable.

01:00:48.480 But it

01:00:51.340 will make

01:00:51.740 people think

01:00:52.340 about it.

01:00:53.420 It would

01:00:53.900 force you

01:00:54.560 to wrestle

01:00:56.100 with the

01:00:56.900 security

01:00:57.360 problems of

01:00:58.120 a mail-in

01:00:58.620 anything.

01:01:01.400 And that,

01:01:02.240 ladies and 0.98

01:01:02.560 gentlemen,

01:01:03.440 is the best

01:01:04.200 President's

01:01:05.060 Day

01:01:05.280 live stream

01:01:06.220 you're likely

01:01:07.240 to see.

01:01:08.000 Because I

01:01:08.520 remind you

01:01:09.140 again that

01:01:09.680 other people

01:01:10.380 are lazy

01:01:11.900 and they

01:01:12.300 don't care

01:01:12.720 about you

01:01:13.080 as much

01:01:13.400 as I

01:01:13.700 do.

01:01:14.700 I care.

01:01:15.800 That's why

01:01:16.120 I'm here

01:01:16.360 every day.

01:01:16.820 because I

01:01:18.400 care.

01:01:19.420 And the

01:01:20.140 weak people

01:01:20.760 who take

01:01:21.160 the day

01:01:21.560 off,

01:01:22.280 oh,

01:01:22.560 it's

01:01:22.740 President's

01:01:23.440 Day.

01:01:24.180 I

01:01:24.420 couldn't

01:01:24.700 possibly

01:01:25.320 add value

01:01:26.640 to the

01:01:27.020 world on

01:01:28.300 a day

01:01:28.680 in which

01:01:29.060 we

01:01:29.300 artificially

01:01:30.020 decided to

01:01:30.940 celebrate

01:01:31.340 people who

01:01:32.160 were elected

01:01:32.580 for no

01:01:33.720 particular

01:01:34.140 reason because

01:01:34.880 we don't

01:01:35.220 have like

01:01:35.920 state

01:01:37.140 assemblyman

01:01:37.980 day.

01:01:39.700 So,

01:01:40.620 yes,

01:01:41.080 lazy

01:01:41.360 bastards.

01:01:42.260 Lazy,

01:01:42.760 lazy

01:01:42.980 bastards.

01:01:44.000 And I'm

01:01:44.200 glad you're

01:01:44.620 here with

01:01:45.240 those of

01:01:45.980 us who

01:01:46.220 are go

01:01:46.660 getters.

01:01:50.580 All right.

01:01:51.740 And ladies 0.94

01:01:52.420 and gentlemen,

01:01:53.580 I will talk

01:01:54.560 to you later

01:01:55.660 X platform

01:01:56.640 and rumble 0.98
