Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2398 CWSA 02⧸28⧸24

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

00:00:02.780 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:04.840 Rump-pump-pump-pump.

00:00:08.220 Good morning, everybody, and welcome

00:00:10.040 to the highlight of

00:00:11.900 human civilization.

00:00:13.920 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. I'm pretty

00:00:15.980 sure there's never been a better time in your life.

00:00:18.500 But if you'd like to take it up to levels

00:00:20.080 that human and simian

00:00:22.080 brains alike cannot understand,

00:00:24.480 we don't know about dolphins,

00:00:26.160 but I have my suspicions.

00:00:27.780 If all you need for that is

00:00:29.740 a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank

00:00:32.020 or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask

00:00:34.200 or a vessel of any kind, fill it

00:00:36.100 with your favorite liquid.

00:00:38.420 I like coffee. Join me

00:00:40.140 now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:42.080 It's a dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes

00:00:44.120 everything better is called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:45.880 It's happening right now.

00:00:47.280 Oh, that's really good.

00:00:56.080 Interesting.

00:00:56.480 Well, have you ever thought

00:01:01.000 to yourself,

00:01:02.280 I know what somebody else is thinking

00:01:04.700 because that's what I would think

00:01:06.860 if I were in that situation.

00:01:08.820 I'd like to give you just a little

00:01:10.680 snapshot of what

00:01:12.800 happened in my brain this morning

00:01:14.480 so you can understand how different you are

00:01:16.920 from other people.

00:01:17.660 So, as you know,

00:01:20.280 I famously have a problem

00:01:21.460 with dates,

00:01:23.180 calendar dates.

00:01:24.300 I always get them confused

00:01:25.720 and sort of a dyslexic thing.

00:01:28.120 But I compensate

00:01:28.980 by really, really trying hard.

00:01:32.580 I mean,

00:01:33.060 I really, really try hard

00:01:34.680 to make sure

00:01:35.840 that if I post a comic

00:01:37.300 and I put the date on it,

00:01:38.800 it's the right date.

00:01:40.060 So today, for example,

00:01:41.100 just to give you an idea

00:01:42.020 of what would happen in my head,

00:01:43.660 I look at today's date

00:01:44.800 and then my task

00:01:46.360 is to look at today's date

00:01:47.880 and then write it down

00:01:49.980 for the comic I'm about to post.

00:01:52.640 That's the entire task.

00:01:54.100 Look at a date,

00:01:56.140 try to remember it,

00:01:58.320 write it down immediately.

00:02:00.660 All right?

00:02:01.000 That was the task.

00:02:02.400 Here's me doing that task.

00:02:04.360 All right?

00:02:04.560 Today is 2.

00:02:06.420 2 is February.

00:02:07.800 2.

00:02:08.160 I'm positive.

00:02:08.820 That's right.

00:02:09.840 It's a check date.

00:02:11.040 Check date.

00:02:11.580 It's the 28th.

00:02:12.760 Got it.

00:02:13.240 Got it.

00:02:13.580 So it's February 28th,

00:02:15.940 year 29.

00:02:17.740 So I write it down.

00:02:19.580 And I look at it

00:02:20.500 to make sure it's right.

00:02:22.580 2, 28, 29.

00:02:25.380 Okay, that's right.

00:02:27.100 And I check it again

00:02:27.960 to make sure it's still right.

00:02:29.960 Okay?

00:02:30.440 It's definitely 2, 29.

00:02:32.720 No, wait.

00:02:33.400 It's 2, 28.

00:02:34.540 The year's 29.

00:02:36.380 Okay, got it.

00:02:37.060 And then I published it.

00:02:39.320 Did pretty good, didn't I?

00:02:41.260 Yeah, except for the fact

00:02:42.380 that it's year 24.

00:02:44.460 Now, that's an example

00:02:47.160 of every day.

00:02:49.880 Every time I look at a date,

00:02:52.420 every time I look at a phone number,

00:02:54.400 the numbers are dancing around.

00:02:58.800 Now, it's not that I see them

00:03:00.360 visually dancing,

00:03:01.400 although sometimes

00:03:02.060 it's almost that bad,

00:03:03.260 but they dance around in my head.

00:03:05.360 So I can read them in

00:03:06.740 in the correct order,

00:03:08.140 but then they immediately scramble.

00:03:10.080 It's sort of a defect,

00:03:13.660 but also a superpower.

00:03:15.780 The superpower is that

00:03:17.560 I don't understand anything

00:03:19.160 by looking at it.

00:03:20.820 Reading, numbers, nothing.

00:03:22.320 I only understand things

00:03:24.440 by putting it into my brain

00:03:26.140 and then resorting it

00:03:28.020 once it's in there

00:03:28.800 to what it must have been.

00:03:30.840 But I can't do that with numbers

00:03:32.520 because it's not,

00:03:34.380 my brain doesn't know

00:03:35.160 what it must have been.

00:03:37.080 Right?

00:03:37.240 But with words, I can.

00:03:39.280 So with words,

00:03:40.260 I could put a sentence

00:03:41.220 in my head in any order

00:03:42.460 and I would know what it said

00:03:44.100 just automatically.

00:03:47.360 Anyway, so people are

00:03:48.360 very different from you.

00:03:49.360 Just keep that in mind.

00:03:50.240 That's not the only way.

00:03:52.220 We're just so infinitely different

00:03:54.020 on the inside.

00:03:55.220 It's just one of those

00:03:55.980 cautionary tales.

00:03:57.620 Just don't assume

00:03:58.740 anybody ever thinks

00:04:01.040 the way you do.

00:04:02.320 The differences are

00:04:03.660 insanely large.

00:04:07.900 The CEO of Kellogg's

00:04:09.860 is recommending

00:04:11.060 that you eat cereal for dinner

00:04:14.060 if you want to save some money.

00:04:16.980 Yep, cereal for dinner.

00:04:19.420 And the CEO says,

00:04:20.940 you know, it's because

00:04:21.660 food is more expensive.

00:04:23.080 And so they started

00:04:24.280 doing some advertising

00:04:25.360 to suggest cereal for dinner.

00:04:28.280 Now, many of you are saying,

00:04:29.860 what goes well with cereal?

00:04:32.620 Because, you know,

00:04:33.800 it'd be kind of boring

00:04:34.640 to eat cereal on its own.

00:04:35.900 So you'd be looking

00:04:36.920 for a good pairing.

00:04:38.400 I recommend cigarettes.

00:04:41.280 Cigarettes.

00:04:42.320 The best pairing

00:04:43.260 for cereal is cigarettes.

00:04:46.260 Biden is going for a checkup

00:04:48.320 at Walter Reed, he says.

00:04:51.400 And I wonder,

00:04:52.440 how does Biden do

00:04:53.820 a medical checkup?

00:04:56.640 Do you get a regular doctor

00:04:58.360 or do you use a coroner?

00:04:59.660 Because if you're actually

00:05:02.880 slightly more dead than alive,

00:05:05.760 you know, relatively speaking,

00:05:07.440 don't you just get

00:05:08.900 the coroner in there

00:05:09.920 to maybe start poking around

00:05:12.460 and see what's going on?

00:05:14.320 No?

00:05:15.300 You use a regular doctor still?

00:05:17.140 All right, all right.

00:05:17.960 I'll take your word for it.

00:05:19.080 I'm not like a doctor,

00:05:20.780 so I'm just guessing.

00:05:22.240 But if it were me,

00:05:23.540 I guess I would have

00:05:24.140 called the coroner.

00:05:25.920 But the question is,

00:05:27.940 and let's see if I can

00:05:29.900 use my ESP

00:05:31.880 to determine

00:05:33.500 how this might go.

00:05:34.980 A lot of people are saying

00:05:36.080 he should request

00:05:37.060 a cognitive exam.

00:05:40.140 Will he do

00:05:41.820 the most obvious,

00:05:43.120 useful,

00:05:43.800 important thing

00:05:44.580 that the president

00:05:45.260 could do

00:05:45.800 in this situation?

00:05:46.780 No.

00:05:51.980 No.

00:05:53.280 No.

00:05:54.720 Now,

00:05:55.340 I'm going to remind you

00:05:56.420 of the theme

00:05:57.060 that I might carry through

00:05:58.320 for some time.

00:06:01.200 If there's anything

00:06:02.220 that doesn't make sense,

00:06:04.460 it's probably the CIA.

00:06:08.720 Because

00:06:09.160 is there anybody

00:06:10.600 in the country

00:06:11.300 who thinks it makes sense

00:06:13.040 that Biden is running

00:06:13.940 for a second term?

00:06:15.540 I mean, really?

00:06:16.780 Does anybody

00:06:17.780 really think

00:06:19.160 that makes sense?

00:06:21.220 So to me,

00:06:22.120 it looks like

00:06:22.720 probably the CIA

00:06:24.440 needs him in there

00:06:25.580 for covering up

00:06:26.620 whatever they need

00:06:27.260 to cover up.

00:06:28.240 It has nothing to do

00:06:29.400 with who's qualified

00:06:30.260 or who's about dead.

00:06:34.320 Watch how many times

00:06:35.520 if you just say,

00:06:36.380 well,

00:06:37.480 maybe it's some kind

00:06:38.480 of CIA op.

00:06:40.480 You're not always

00:06:41.360 going to be right.

00:06:43.060 Often it will not

00:06:44.220 be a CIA op.

00:06:45.320 But it does

00:06:47.080 explain everything.

00:06:48.580 Like all the things

00:06:49.580 that don't make sense.

00:06:51.260 They're all explained

00:06:52.480 with the same explanation.

00:06:53.680 Well,

00:06:54.200 maybe there's

00:06:54.920 some intelligence group

00:06:55.940 that has some advantage

00:06:57.240 coming out of this.

00:06:58.780 Because we do assume

00:06:59.880 that they would have

00:07:00.420 the power

00:07:00.900 to change that

00:07:01.540 in the president.

00:07:02.740 All indications

00:07:03.660 are that they could.

00:07:05.380 So if they're not,

00:07:06.980 there's a reason.

00:07:07.840 Well,

00:07:10.920 Elon Musk is teasing

00:07:12.060 that they're going

00:07:12.640 to redo the Tesla Roadster

00:07:14.420 and it's going to go

00:07:15.620 from zero to 60

00:07:16.780 in less than one second.

00:07:21.980 Now,

00:07:23.200 isn't that basically

00:07:25.240 a death trap?

00:07:28.940 Yeah.

00:07:29.680 Well,

00:07:29.940 one of the things

00:07:30.560 I look for

00:07:31.180 in an automobile

00:07:31.900 is survivability

00:07:34.660 in the second second.

00:07:36.640 Right?

00:07:38.960 Yeah,

00:07:39.200 I like to say

00:07:39.800 if I get a new car,

00:07:41.580 oh,

00:07:41.960 that's a new car.

00:07:42.920 I know all cars

00:07:43.720 are dangerous

00:07:44.220 by their nature,

00:07:45.600 but if I get this car

00:07:47.000 and really,

00:07:47.600 you know,

00:07:49.020 really press it,

00:07:51.320 I could live

00:07:52.340 two or three seconds.

00:07:54.100 But with the Roadster,

00:07:55.960 you might be gone

00:07:56.620 in a second and a half.

00:07:57.720 I can't even imagine

00:08:00.960 going 60 miles

00:08:01.960 an hour

00:08:02.260 in one second.

00:08:03.620 How in the world

00:08:04.460 doesn't that

00:08:04.940 scramble your brain?

00:08:06.880 Your brain

00:08:07.900 would be flattened

00:08:08.700 against the back

00:08:09.440 of your skull.

00:08:17.000 All right.

00:08:21.160 Yeah,

00:08:21.640 the CIA

00:08:22.100 just texted me.

00:08:23.180 Cut it out,

00:08:23.660 they said.

00:08:24.020 So Mike Benz

00:08:26.640 gives us

00:08:27.260 another example

00:08:28.200 of why he's suggesting

00:08:29.260 there should be

00:08:30.100 sanctuary states

00:08:31.800 for,

00:08:33.920 essentially,

00:08:35.300 for conservatives.

00:08:36.920 Here's a

00:08:38.620 perfect example.

00:08:39.840 You know

00:08:40.140 the online guy

00:08:41.380 Mackey?

00:08:42.820 I think it's

00:08:43.140 Doug Mackey.

00:08:44.600 He's being indicted

00:08:45.580 in a Brooklyn court

00:08:47.340 under the theory

00:08:49.080 that something

00:08:49.640 he did online,

00:08:50.660 I guess he

00:08:51.820 did a meme

00:08:52.840 that said

00:08:53.240 to vote

00:08:53.700 at the wrong

00:08:54.200 time,

00:08:54.660 which is

00:08:55.000 technically

00:08:55.440 illegal.

00:08:56.540 Even though

00:08:57.180 it was a joke,

00:08:58.420 they're saying

00:08:58.820 it's technically

00:08:59.380 illegal.

00:09:00.480 Now,

00:09:00.980 if you did

00:09:01.520 something like

00:09:02.060 that that was

00:09:02.660 technically

00:09:03.740 illegal,

00:09:04.540 but it would

00:09:05.380 be really hard

00:09:06.360 to demonstrate

00:09:07.040 anybody was

00:09:07.780 harmed by it

00:09:08.640 because it

00:09:08.960 was just

00:09:09.340 a joke.

00:09:10.620 If you

00:09:11.260 tried that

00:09:11.820 in Florida,

00:09:13.380 what do you

00:09:13.720 think would

00:09:14.040 happen?

00:09:15.620 I think

00:09:16.300 the jury

00:09:17.280 would say,

00:09:18.080 seriously?

00:09:18.540 You can't

00:09:19.940 demonstrate

00:09:20.360 that anybody

00:09:21.020 voted on

00:09:21.660 the wrong

00:09:22.020 day because

00:09:22.540 of that

00:09:22.800 silly meme

00:09:23.440 that looks

00:09:23.820 like a joke

00:09:24.340 to me.

00:09:26.020 Yeah,

00:09:26.280 I think

00:09:26.640 he would

00:09:26.820 be easily

00:09:27.600 set free.

00:09:30.680 What happens

00:09:31.380 if you do

00:09:31.840 it in

00:09:32.460 Brooklyn

00:09:33.300 and somehow

00:09:34.540 they learn

00:09:35.200 that he's

00:09:35.760 a Trump

00:09:36.660 supporter?

00:09:38.060 We all

00:09:38.820 know the

00:09:39.160 answer.

00:09:40.080 There is

00:09:41.060 no chance,

00:09:42.320 no chance

00:09:43.380 of a fair

00:09:44.320 trial.

00:09:46.640 And yet

00:09:47.280 we all

00:09:47.640 know it

00:09:48.160 and then

00:09:49.260 we're

00:09:49.420 watching it

00:09:49.920 happen.

00:09:51.000 How do

00:09:51.500 we let

00:09:51.840 a fellow

00:09:52.380 citizen

00:09:52.920 go to

00:09:54.560 jail

00:09:54.900 while we

00:09:55.920 watch

00:09:56.460 on a

00:09:58.580 process

00:09:58.920 that I

00:10:00.080 don't think

00:10:00.420 any reasonable

00:10:01.080 person thinks

00:10:02.100 is anything

00:10:02.980 but corrupt?

00:10:05.080 Yeah,

00:10:05.300 the January

00:10:05.680 6th thing,

00:10:06.460 same thing.

00:10:08.180 And

00:10:08.580 I'm going

00:10:10.920 to double

00:10:11.260 down on

00:10:11.640 this.

00:10:11.900 I really

00:10:12.520 think that

00:10:14.060 we need a

00:10:14.580 sanctuary

00:10:14.960 estate.

00:10:15.960 Some

00:10:16.140 place you

00:10:16.600 can go

00:10:17.100 where the

00:10:17.660 New York

00:10:18.740 and California

00:10:19.540 can't get

00:10:20.080 you.

00:10:20.680 Mostly

00:10:21.060 New York

00:10:21.640 and D.C.

00:10:23.840 So this

00:10:24.720 really needs

00:10:25.180 to be done.

00:10:25.660 I'm expecting

00:10:26.220 now, I

00:10:26.880 don't know

00:10:27.220 if it's

00:10:28.480 actually as

00:10:29.360 feasible as

00:10:30.080 I imagine

00:10:31.640 it to be.

00:10:32.240 Maybe it's

00:10:32.580 not feasible,

00:10:33.680 but I'd love

00:10:34.120 to see some

00:10:34.700 governors step

00:10:35.400 up.

00:10:36.040 It would

00:10:36.320 be very

00:10:37.080 popular.

00:10:40.320 Well,

00:10:40.860 let's see.

00:10:41.280 The Hill

00:10:43.120 says there's

00:10:43.680 pressure on

00:10:44.360 Mitch McConnell

00:10:45.060 to either

00:10:47.140 endorse Trump

00:10:47.880 or don't

00:10:48.420 endorse him

00:10:48.980 or basically

00:10:49.700 just weigh

00:10:50.860 in on it.

00:10:52.080 And I

00:10:52.680 say that

00:10:53.120 Mitch

00:10:53.380 needs to

00:10:55.220 come out

00:10:55.540 of his

00:10:55.780 shell.

00:10:57.020 He needs

00:10:57.400 to come

00:10:57.640 out of

00:10:57.880 his shell.

00:10:59.880 And I

00:11:00.500 say it's

00:11:00.800 time to

00:11:01.160 turtle

00:11:01.400 up.

00:11:02.940 Turtle

00:11:03.340 up.

00:11:04.420 Come on.

00:11:06.080 Turtle

00:11:06.420 up.

00:11:06.800 Get out

00:11:07.040 of your

00:11:07.260 shell.

00:11:08.940 Do it,

00:11:09.540 Mitch.

00:11:09.740 Mitch.

00:11:10.560 Now,

00:11:11.100 here's

00:11:11.280 some good

00:11:11.660 news.

00:11:12.700 There's a

00:11:13.360 video going

00:11:13.840 around of

00:11:14.340 Mitch in

00:11:14.880 the 80s

00:11:15.600 giving a

00:11:16.860 speech about

00:11:17.420 how there's

00:11:18.220 massive election

00:11:19.100 fraud in

00:11:19.720 the country

00:11:20.160 and it's

00:11:21.180 ongoing and

00:11:22.100 everybody knows

00:11:22.880 it.

00:11:23.640 This is the

00:11:24.200 80s.

00:11:25.240 And he

00:11:25.600 said that

00:11:26.100 in rural

00:11:26.960 places where

00:11:27.760 there's sort

00:11:28.240 of a one

00:11:28.980 party in

00:11:29.640 control that

00:11:30.520 is well

00:11:31.020 known that's

00:11:31.580 massive fraud.

00:11:33.020 And he

00:11:33.420 said that

00:11:33.820 in some

00:11:34.780 urban areas

00:11:35.720 it's also

00:11:36.860 well known

00:11:37.440 that's massive

00:11:38.140 fraud in the

00:11:38.800 election.

00:11:39.060 Now,

00:11:39.620 this is in

00:11:40.040 the 80s

00:11:40.600 and it

00:11:41.500 was coming

00:11:41.880 from Mitch

00:11:42.480 McConnell

00:11:43.340 who one

00:11:44.560 assumes would

00:11:45.200 know what

00:11:45.560 he was

00:11:45.800 talking about.

00:11:47.560 One assumes

00:11:48.700 that he's

00:11:49.240 not guessing

00:11:49.880 because he

00:11:50.900 didn't say

00:11:51.580 I have

00:11:52.140 personally

00:11:52.560 looked into

00:11:53.180 it or

00:11:54.160 it's my

00:11:54.440 personal

00:11:54.880 opinion.

00:11:55.940 He said

00:11:56.660 in front of

00:11:57.180 everybody it's

00:11:57.980 just understood

00:11:58.780 it's well

00:11:59.280 known it's

00:11:59.920 observable

00:12:00.780 it's a

00:12:02.340 fact.

00:12:03.840 Now,

00:12:04.340 here's the

00:12:04.640 good news.

00:12:06.740 Apparently,

00:12:07.360 all that got

00:12:07.860 fixed.

00:12:10.420 Yeah,

00:12:10.720 and don't

00:12:11.080 you think

00:12:12.040 it's sort

00:12:12.540 of an

00:12:12.740 oversight

00:12:13.160 by our

00:12:13.800 news business

00:12:14.560 that we

00:12:15.260 had this

00:12:15.660 enormous

00:12:16.320 problem with

00:12:17.120 the republic

00:12:17.620 back in

00:12:18.180 the 80s,

00:12:18.740 but then

00:12:19.580 all that

00:12:19.920 got fixed.

00:12:21.920 Now,

00:12:22.580 I don't

00:12:22.880 remember seeing

00:12:23.460 the story.

00:12:24.760 Did you?

00:12:26.200 You probably

00:12:26.980 saw it.

00:12:27.680 I mean,

00:12:27.940 maybe I

00:12:28.280 wasn't paying

00:12:28.720 attention,

00:12:29.780 but did

00:12:30.660 you all

00:12:31.180 see the

00:12:31.480 story about

00:12:32.040 the massive

00:12:32.900 election

00:12:34.560 problems we

00:12:35.200 had in the

00:12:35.500 80s that

00:12:36.040 got fixed,

00:12:37.100 so what?

00:12:37.980 You didn't

00:12:38.220 see it?

00:12:39.240 Oh,

00:12:39.460 it's almost

00:12:39.800 like they

00:12:40.220 weren't fixed.

00:12:41.860 No,

00:12:42.880 no,

00:12:43.220 I assume

00:12:43.800 it's just

00:12:44.080 an oversight

00:12:44.540 by the

00:12:44.960 news.

00:12:46.000 What do

00:12:46.300 you mean

00:12:46.480 it's the

00:12:46.820 dog not

00:12:47.280 barking?

00:12:49.200 Okay,

00:12:49.520 you're not

00:12:49.800 really saying

00:12:50.260 that in the

00:12:50.640 comments,

00:12:51.160 but if

00:12:53.380 you're listening

00:12:53.820 to this,

00:12:54.500 it sounds

00:12:54.900 like you

00:12:55.300 were.

00:12:57.660 I'll just

00:12:58.220 have a

00:12:58.480 conversation

00:12:58.940 with myself

00:12:59.580 and pretend

00:13:00.080 you're on

00:13:00.480 the other

00:13:00.760 side of it.

00:13:01.840 What do

00:13:02.260 you mean

00:13:02.480 I'm

00:13:02.680 handsome?

00:13:03.580 That's

00:13:03.860 off-topic.

00:13:04.880 I know

00:13:05.560 I'm

00:13:05.780 sexy,

00:13:06.260 but stop

00:13:06.680 saying it.

00:13:07.480 Stop

00:13:07.700 saying it.

00:13:08.720 Give me

00:13:09.180 a break.

00:13:09.660 I won't

00:13:09.980 take off

00:13:10.380 my shirt.

00:13:11.280 No.

00:13:12.420 No.

00:13:14.340 All right.

00:13:16.200 So thank

00:13:16.980 God all

00:13:17.440 that election

00:13:17.940 fraud got

00:13:18.500 fixed.

00:13:20.400 Let me

00:13:20.980 just say

00:13:21.440 it.

00:13:21.660 If you

00:13:21.960 think our

00:13:22.400 elections

00:13:22.800 are fair,

00:13:24.820 you're a

00:13:25.280 fucking

00:13:25.520 idiot.

00:13:28.200 You are

00:13:28.920 a fucking

00:13:29.340 idiot.

00:13:30.320 Now,

00:13:30.660 it's one

00:13:30.980 thing to

00:13:31.340 say it's

00:13:31.700 not been

00:13:32.080 proven,

00:13:32.480 to be

00:13:32.800 unfair.

00:13:34.960 I'll

00:13:35.480 give you

00:13:35.800 that.

00:13:36.820 I will

00:13:37.420 grant you

00:13:37.900 that the

00:13:38.320 courts have

00:13:38.880 not decisively

00:13:41.520 shown our

00:13:42.080 elections to

00:13:42.680 be anything

00:13:43.280 but good

00:13:44.100 enough.

00:13:45.860 But if

00:13:46.760 you look

00:13:47.060 at the

00:13:47.520 totality of

00:13:48.960 things we

00:13:49.400 know for

00:13:49.800 sure,

00:13:51.100 not the

00:13:51.540 stuff we're

00:13:51.900 guessing at,

00:13:53.140 just look

00:13:53.620 at the

00:13:53.920 totality of

00:13:54.600 things we

00:13:54.980 know for

00:13:55.360 sure,

00:13:56.480 to imagine

00:13:57.300 that our

00:13:57.800 elections are

00:13:58.440 fair is

00:13:59.720 absolutely

00:14:00.360 absurd.

00:14:00.920 Now,

00:14:02.380 Tucker

00:14:02.680 did an

00:14:04.720 interview on

00:14:05.200 Lex Friedman,

00:14:06.640 which, by

00:14:07.160 the way,

00:14:07.540 was incredible.

00:14:08.940 I've only

00:14:09.220 watched maybe

00:14:09.760 40% of

00:14:10.660 it.

00:14:11.380 I ran

00:14:11.760 out of

00:14:11.980 time.

00:14:12.740 But I

00:14:13.120 couldn't

00:14:13.360 stop my

00:14:13.960 jaw from

00:14:15.380 falling on

00:14:16.280 the ground.

00:14:17.600 I mean, it

00:14:17.860 was just one

00:14:18.440 interesting thing

00:14:19.300 after another.

00:14:20.040 I was like,

00:14:20.300 what?

00:14:21.500 I mean, it was

00:14:21.880 really good.

00:14:22.640 So I

00:14:23.020 definitely

00:14:23.260 recommend it.

00:14:23.880 one of the

00:14:25.860 things that

00:14:26.440 Tucker said

00:14:27.780 is that the

00:14:28.420 recent elections

00:14:30.180 are absolutely,

00:14:32.440 especially 2020,

00:14:34.160 absolutely rigged,

00:14:35.720 but he makes

00:14:36.800 his argument

00:14:37.280 without any

00:14:38.100 vote-counting

00:14:39.020 comments.

00:14:42.340 He says if

00:14:43.200 you look at

00:14:43.720 how the media

00:14:44.700 is completely

00:14:45.720 rigged, and

00:14:46.560 we get all

00:14:47.040 our opinions

00:14:47.560 about who

00:14:47.960 to vote for

00:14:48.480 from them,

00:14:49.620 that's pretty

00:14:50.100 rigged.

00:14:50.520 if you

00:14:52.740 look at how

00:14:53.240 the laws

00:14:54.020 were changed

00:14:54.780 right before

00:14:56.020 the election

00:14:56.540 to allow

00:14:57.160 massive mail-in

00:14:58.440 ballots.

00:14:59.540 By the way,

00:15:00.020 what was one

00:15:00.580 of the things

00:15:01.020 that Mitch

00:15:01.520 noted was

00:15:02.900 the primary

00:15:03.660 source of

00:15:04.320 fraud in

00:15:05.600 the 80s,

00:15:06.440 which, by the

00:15:06.920 way, has

00:15:07.120 all been

00:15:07.400 fixed.

00:15:08.180 Thank God

00:15:08.720 it's all

00:15:09.040 been fixed.

00:15:09.520 No reporting

00:15:10.080 on it, but

00:15:10.520 all been

00:15:11.000 fixed, I

00:15:11.580 assume, I

00:15:12.400 assume, was

00:15:14.400 mail-in

00:15:15.080 ballots.

00:15:16.880 In the

00:15:17.720 80s, Mitch

00:15:18.360 was saying

00:15:18.760 everybody knows

00:15:19.500 basically,

00:15:20.240 mail-in

00:15:20.720 ballots are

00:15:21.240 just, you

00:15:22.080 know, massive

00:15:23.140 fraudulent

00:15:23.820 situation, so

00:15:24.860 don't do

00:15:25.380 that.

00:15:26.500 But we

00:15:27.000 did that, and

00:15:28.180 of course,

00:15:28.700 whoever changed

00:15:29.280 the rules knew

00:15:29.920 that that would

00:15:30.480 cause a massive

00:15:31.640 Democrat victory,

00:15:33.040 or at least a

00:15:33.860 victory.

00:15:35.560 And so did

00:15:36.760 voting matter?

00:15:38.680 Not so

00:15:39.160 much.

00:15:40.800 Yeah, if you

00:15:41.700 control the

00:15:42.280 media, and

00:15:43.600 you can

00:15:43.920 determine which

00:15:44.600 rules are in

00:15:45.360 play, you

00:15:46.200 can actually

00:15:46.680 determine who

00:15:47.360 wins.

00:15:49.080 Watch this.

00:15:50.840 Let's do a

00:15:51.760 law that

00:15:52.240 gets rid of

00:15:52.960 mail-in

00:15:53.340 ballots.

00:15:53.840 Who wins?

00:15:55.060 The

00:15:55.300 Republican.

00:15:56.300 Let's do a

00:15:57.120 law that

00:15:57.520 says mail-in

00:15:58.120 ballots are

00:15:58.740 massively

00:15:59.720 encouraged.

00:16:00.940 Who wins?

00:16:02.280 The

00:16:02.800 Democrats.

00:16:04.180 So what

00:16:04.880 did voting

00:16:05.320 have to do

00:16:05.780 with anything?

00:16:07.400 Voting

00:16:07.760 wasn't even

00:16:08.220 part of the

00:16:08.580 process.

00:16:09.740 We've

00:16:10.020 actually

00:16:10.300 removed

00:16:10.860 voting as

00:16:13.680 an important

00:16:14.140 part of the

00:16:14.760 Democratic

00:16:15.200 process.

00:16:16.740 Now, that's

00:16:17.360 without even

00:16:18.120 any reference

00:16:19.220 to any

00:16:19.780 accusations

00:16:20.400 about alleged

00:16:21.260 vote miscounting

00:16:22.980 or anything

00:16:23.280 like that.

00:16:24.000 You don't

00:16:24.500 even need

00:16:24.920 that.

00:16:25.980 So I do

00:16:26.760 like Tucker's

00:16:27.640 approach of

00:16:29.300 just saying

00:16:29.760 straight out,

00:16:30.620 the things we

00:16:31.220 all agree on

00:16:32.300 are enough to

00:16:33.640 say it's

00:16:33.900 rigged.

00:16:34.920 And I think

00:16:35.700 that's fair.

00:16:37.740 It's all

00:16:38.400 legal.

00:16:39.380 By the way,

00:16:40.020 I'm not

00:16:40.520 suggesting any

00:16:41.220 of that's

00:16:41.540 illegal.

00:16:42.640 But it's

00:16:42.960 definitely

00:16:43.240 rigged.

00:16:44.640 I mean,

00:16:44.900 there's no

00:16:45.240 way around

00:16:45.600 that.

00:16:46.520 Not if

00:16:47.100 you're

00:16:47.240 reasonable

00:16:47.620 about it.

00:16:49.680 Well, the

00:16:50.380 cable news

00:16:51.040 ratings are

00:16:51.720 out.

00:16:52.960 And Gutfeld

00:16:54.320 has topped

00:16:54.940 the key

00:16:55.340 demo of

00:16:56.060 people 25

00:16:57.360 to 54

00:16:58.000 because nobody

00:16:58.880 cares about

00:16:59.500 people over

00:17:00.040 54.

00:17:01.260 We don't

00:17:01.960 even buy

00:17:02.460 things.

00:17:03.800 So you

00:17:04.440 don't even

00:17:04.720 need to

00:17:04.980 advertise to

00:17:05.580 us because

00:17:06.280 we're, you

00:17:07.160 know, halfway

00:17:07.780 dead anyway.

00:17:09.180 But in the

00:17:09.860 key demographic,

00:17:10.720 Gutfeld's

00:17:11.280 killing it.

00:17:13.700 And it's

00:17:14.360 the most

00:17:14.620 DVR'd show

00:17:15.460 in cable

00:17:15.920 news.

00:17:17.200 Wow.

00:17:18.700 If there was

00:17:19.460 one thing that

00:17:20.220 says you're

00:17:20.620 doing a good

00:17:21.160 job, it

00:17:22.440 would be

00:17:22.900 most DVR'd.

00:17:25.980 Because a

00:17:26.600 lot of the

00:17:26.960 shows are

00:17:27.400 just because

00:17:27.880 you happen

00:17:28.260 to be

00:17:28.560 awake.

00:17:30.080 Right?

00:17:30.880 You just

00:17:31.460 happen to be

00:17:31.900 awake and

00:17:32.460 you're done

00:17:32.780 with the

00:17:33.040 work at

00:17:33.400 8 p.m.

00:17:33.920 So the

00:17:34.260 8 p.m.

00:17:34.720 slot, you

00:17:35.700 know, is

00:17:35.900 going to

00:17:36.140 look good.

00:17:37.140 But if

00:17:37.460 you're willing

00:17:37.820 to DVR it,

00:17:40.060 that's like

00:17:40.560 the ultimate

00:17:40.980 vote, you

00:17:42.200 know, it's

00:17:42.380 not just I

00:17:42.880 happen to be

00:17:43.300 there and I

00:17:43.700 happen to be

00:17:44.160 on.

00:17:46.340 Well, what

00:17:46.940 else?

00:17:47.540 How's everybody

00:17:48.100 else doing?

00:17:49.520 Well, the

00:17:50.140 5 was the

00:17:50.880 number one

00:17:51.340 show and

00:17:52.420 that features,

00:17:53.120 oh, Greg

00:17:53.540 Gaufelt.

00:17:54.360 So basically,

00:17:56.120 Greg Gaufelt

00:17:56.900 pretty much owns

00:17:58.840 cable news at the

00:17:59.740 moment.

00:18:00.600 Good job there.

00:18:01.320 And of

00:18:03.260 course, there

00:18:03.660 are four other

00:18:04.900 people on the

00:18:05.460 five, but

00:18:06.120 since they

00:18:07.360 don't have

00:18:07.680 another show,

00:18:08.600 well, Jesse

00:18:09.020 does actually.

00:18:09.860 Oh, and

00:18:10.160 Dana Preena

00:18:10.660 does too.

00:18:11.760 So I guess

00:18:12.680 they're doing

00:18:12.980 great.

00:18:14.400 But CNN

00:18:15.440 didn't make

00:18:16.700 the top

00:18:17.140 100, I

00:18:17.660 think.

00:18:21.400 And Gaufelt

00:18:22.280 beat all the

00:18:22.980 other shows.

00:18:25.960 I was

00:18:26.240 watching the

00:18:26.800 interview

00:18:27.220 recently of

00:18:29.740 Biden.

00:18:31.880 He went on

00:18:32.420 the Seth

00:18:32.940 Meyers show.

00:18:34.820 And I

00:18:35.300 watched that

00:18:35.840 interview a

00:18:37.500 few times.

00:18:37.980 I was going

00:18:38.280 to talk about

00:18:38.920 it.

00:18:39.540 And do you

00:18:39.840 know why I

00:18:40.600 decided not

00:18:41.540 to talk about

00:18:42.160 it?

00:18:43.640 I couldn't

00:18:44.420 remember the

00:18:44.920 name of the

00:18:45.300 host.

00:18:46.980 All I

00:18:47.540 remembered was

00:18:48.340 it was one

00:18:49.160 of the guys

00:18:49.620 who was

00:18:49.840 not Gaufelt.

00:18:51.680 I was like,

00:18:52.280 which one is

00:18:53.020 that?

00:18:54.220 Is that

00:18:54.620 Jimmy?

00:18:56.800 Is that

00:18:57.600 Stefan?

00:18:59.860 Was that

00:19:00.380 Seth?

00:19:02.240 It's funny,

00:19:02.700 in my mind,

00:19:03.360 they all just

00:19:03.780 became non-Gaufelt.

00:19:06.520 There's just

00:19:07.240 Gaufelt and

00:19:08.560 miscellaneous

00:19:09.360 other.

00:19:11.300 So that's

00:19:12.740 what we

00:19:13.000 know.

00:19:14.840 I believe

00:19:15.700 I'm out

00:19:16.660 drawing an

00:19:17.160 audience right

00:19:17.860 now beating

00:19:18.500 CNN's prime

00:19:19.480 time, but I'm

00:19:20.200 not sure about

00:19:20.760 that.

00:19:21.860 I'd like to

00:19:22.600 introduce a

00:19:23.240 concept that I

00:19:23.980 call a wrap-up

00:19:24.880 poll.

00:19:25.320 You've

00:19:26.600 heard of a

00:19:27.080 wrap-up

00:19:27.560 smear.

00:19:28.840 Nancy Pelosi

00:19:29.640 famously

00:19:30.500 explained it.

00:19:32.440 A wrap-up

00:19:32.940 smear would

00:19:33.540 be where you

00:19:34.060 plant something

00:19:34.880 in the news,

00:19:35.900 a fake story,

00:19:36.920 you leak it

00:19:37.620 to the news,

00:19:38.500 then the

00:19:39.040 news reports

00:19:39.720 it, and

00:19:40.960 then you

00:19:41.340 use the

00:19:41.920 news as

00:19:43.120 your source

00:19:43.780 of truth,

00:19:45.220 even though

00:19:46.120 you were the

00:19:46.620 source of

00:19:47.020 the news.

00:19:48.460 But the

00:19:49.060 public doesn't

00:19:49.620 know you're

00:19:49.940 the source,

00:19:51.120 they just

00:19:51.740 know it's

00:19:52.080 in the New

00:19:52.460 York Times

00:19:52.960 or someplace

00:19:53.420 else.

00:19:53.880 And so

00:19:54.780 when you

00:19:55.080 say, hey,

00:19:56.140 don't look

00:19:56.800 at me,

00:19:57.660 it's in the

00:19:58.080 New York

00:19:58.360 Times.

00:19:59.260 That's called

00:19:59.940 a wrap-up

00:20:00.740 smear.

00:20:02.240 But I'm

00:20:03.300 introducing a

00:20:04.000 concept I'm

00:20:04.700 going to

00:20:04.840 call the

00:20:05.220 wrap-up

00:20:05.780 poll.

00:20:07.600 So

00:20:07.840 Reuters

00:20:08.800 had a

00:20:10.660 big poll

00:20:11.040 that said

00:20:11.420 21% of

00:20:13.180 respondents

00:20:13.620 said that

00:20:14.280 political

00:20:15.500 extremism

00:20:16.480 or threats

00:20:17.660 to the

00:20:17.980 democracy

00:20:18.540 is their

00:20:18.920 top worry.

00:20:19.540 And of

00:20:22.360 course,

00:20:23.320 that was

00:20:23.740 almost all

00:20:24.880 Democrats.

00:20:26.180 So the

00:20:26.780 Democrats

00:20:27.260 were all

00:20:27.820 worried,

00:20:28.300 according to

00:20:28.660 this poll.

00:20:30.880 It's a

00:20:31.540 Reuters-Ipsos

00:20:32.440 poll.

00:20:33.600 And now

00:20:34.020 Reuters-Ipsos,

00:20:35.280 would you say

00:20:35.860 they lean

00:20:36.680 left or

00:20:37.180 right?

00:20:38.560 What's your

00:20:39.140 opinion?

00:20:40.080 Does

00:20:40.300 Reuters lean

00:20:41.420 left or

00:20:42.260 right?

00:20:43.840 Yes,

00:20:44.460 you're saying

00:20:45.020 far left

00:20:45.580 because that's

00:20:46.120 what it seems

00:20:46.620 like to you.

00:20:47.560 Seems like it

00:20:48.200 to me as

00:20:48.680 well.

00:20:49.920 So an

00:20:51.240 entity which

00:20:51.840 you believe

00:20:53.620 and I

00:20:54.300 believe

00:20:54.640 leans left

00:20:55.500 found that

00:20:57.060 the biggest

00:20:57.980 concern in

00:20:59.080 the whole

00:20:59.380 country,

00:21:00.060 the number

00:21:00.480 one issue,

00:21:01.540 was political

00:21:02.360 extremism.

00:21:04.880 Why is it

00:21:05.960 that the

00:21:06.480 poll found

00:21:07.880 that there

00:21:08.260 was political

00:21:08.900 extremism?

00:21:10.820 It's because

00:21:11.840 the news

00:21:12.560 sources for

00:21:13.320 the Democrats

00:21:14.000 told them

00:21:15.240 the biggest

00:21:16.020 problem in

00:21:16.580 the country

00:21:17.060 is political

00:21:18.620 extremism.

00:21:20.280 And then

00:21:20.900 the poll

00:21:21.360 is done

00:21:21.880 to find

00:21:23.020 out what

00:21:23.380 the public

00:21:23.920 thinks,

00:21:24.960 and then

00:21:25.600 they put

00:21:25.940 it in

00:21:26.200 the news,

00:21:27.380 and you

00:21:27.760 say to

00:21:28.060 yourself,

00:21:28.480 wow,

00:21:29.280 people must

00:21:30.040 think that

00:21:30.660 political

00:21:31.080 extremism

00:21:32.140 is bad,

00:21:32.980 which makes

00:21:33.680 me think

00:21:34.100 it must be

00:21:34.580 bad because

00:21:35.240 it's the

00:21:35.640 majority

00:21:36.000 problem.

00:21:37.860 Except

00:21:38.460 nobody would

00:21:40.140 have had

00:21:40.440 that opinion

00:21:41.080 independently.

00:21:42.080 you might

00:21:44.220 have an

00:21:44.540 opinion

00:21:44.820 independently

00:21:45.520 about

00:21:47.180 crime

00:21:47.900 because you

00:21:49.760 might

00:21:49.980 experience

00:21:50.500 more of

00:21:50.900 it,

00:21:51.340 and you

00:21:51.520 say,

00:21:51.740 oh,

00:21:51.900 that's a

00:21:52.160 big issue.

00:21:53.380 You might

00:21:54.120 have an

00:21:54.660 issue with

00:21:55.240 war because

00:21:56.440 you'd be

00:21:56.740 aware that

00:21:57.280 there's a

00:21:57.620 war and

00:21:57.940 maybe you

00:21:58.260 don't like

00:21:58.660 it.

00:21:59.900 But do

00:22:00.840 you think

00:22:01.200 that the

00:22:01.820 country would

00:22:02.540 have thought

00:22:02.980 that there

00:22:05.000 was really a

00:22:05.560 threat to

00:22:05.980 the democracy

00:22:06.740 or that

00:22:08.080 political

00:22:08.920 extremism

00:22:09.660 was our

00:22:10.100 biggest risk

00:22:11.100 unless the

00:22:12.380 news told

00:22:12.960 them that

00:22:13.320 every day.

00:22:16.920 Every

00:22:17.520 single day

00:22:18.580 the news

00:22:19.640 is telling

00:22:20.020 Democrats

00:22:20.480 that the

00:22:21.200 white

00:22:21.540 supremacists

00:22:22.280 are getting

00:22:23.380 ready to

00:22:23.860 make their

00:22:24.280 move.

00:22:25.120 And there

00:22:25.320 are so

00:22:25.660 few white

00:22:26.260 supremacists

00:22:26.920 that they

00:22:27.260 have to

00:22:27.620 create a

00:22:29.300 fake group

00:22:30.000 of them

00:22:30.360 to march

00:22:31.860 around every

00:22:32.440 now and

00:22:32.780 then just

00:22:33.180 so there's

00:22:33.620 a visual

00:22:34.040 because there's

00:22:35.480 no other

00:22:35.820 visual.

00:22:36.740 There aren't

00:22:37.480 enough white

00:22:38.140 supremacists

00:22:38.820 so you can

00:22:39.140 get a

00:22:39.380 picture of

00:22:39.780 them.

00:22:40.760 It's like

00:22:41.280 Bigfoot.

00:22:42.500 We're going

00:22:42.860 to have to

00:22:43.680 create some

00:22:44.300 and have

00:22:44.620 them march

00:22:44.960 around in

00:22:45.360 masks and

00:22:45.980 pretend not

00:22:46.480 to be

00:22:46.760 feds to

00:22:48.560 get our

00:22:48.820 visual.

00:22:50.600 So the

00:22:51.300 wrap-up

00:22:51.700 poll,

00:22:52.560 that's when

00:22:53.120 the news

00:22:53.900 brainwashes

00:22:54.660 the citizens

00:22:55.420 to tell

00:22:55.900 them their

00:22:56.260 biggest

00:22:56.540 problem is

00:22:57.240 X and

00:22:58.620 then the

00:22:59.180 pollsters

00:22:59.720 poll them

00:23:00.420 and find

00:23:00.740 out a

00:23:01.040 surprise.

00:23:02.160 The

00:23:02.400 biggest

00:23:02.720 problem is

00:23:03.600 exactly what

00:23:04.400 the news

00:23:04.780 told them

00:23:05.180 was the

00:23:05.480 biggest

00:23:05.700 problem.

00:23:06.200 What do

00:23:06.940 you think

00:23:07.220 the people

00:23:08.280 who are

00:23:08.740 not left

00:23:09.800 leaning and

00:23:10.560 don't watch

00:23:11.200 left leaning

00:23:11.800 news, and

00:23:13.060 let's call

00:23:13.440 them conservatives

00:23:14.220 or Republicans,

00:23:15.420 what do you

00:23:15.780 think they

00:23:16.240 thought was

00:23:17.060 the number

00:23:17.420 one issue?

00:23:18.740 Just take

00:23:19.300 a guess.

00:23:20.380 The border

00:23:21.100 of course.

00:23:22.940 Now do

00:23:23.800 you think

00:23:24.340 that Republicans

00:23:26.440 would think

00:23:27.060 that the

00:23:27.400 border was

00:23:27.920 the biggest

00:23:28.280 crisis if

00:23:29.620 their sources

00:23:30.240 of news,

00:23:31.060 and that would

00:23:31.520 include me

00:23:32.080 by the way,

00:23:33.260 had not

00:23:33.900 hammered on it

00:23:34.580 every single

00:23:35.260 day?

00:23:37.020 Well, if

00:23:37.800 you lived in

00:23:38.320 a place that

00:23:38.940 had tons of

00:23:39.640 immigrants coming

00:23:40.300 in, it would

00:23:40.680 definitely be your

00:23:41.360 biggest problem.

00:23:42.780 But most people

00:23:43.580 in the country

00:23:44.040 don't live anywhere

00:23:44.860 near an immigrant.

00:23:46.860 Most of us

00:23:47.460 don't.

00:23:49.160 And so you

00:23:51.180 probably wouldn't

00:23:51.780 notice.

00:23:54.940 But I do

00:23:55.700 believe,

00:23:56.920 independent of the

00:23:58.300 brainwashing of the

00:23:59.060 news, I do think

00:23:59.720 it's obvious that

00:24:01.160 once you reach 10

00:24:02.060 million people from

00:24:02.940 another country and

00:24:04.180 you're not

00:24:04.500 checking them

00:24:05.040 very well,

00:24:06.420 that's pretty

00:24:07.100 much objectively

00:24:08.000 obviously clearly

00:24:09.220 a massive

00:24:10.120 problem.

00:24:11.640 Right?

00:24:12.240 But if the

00:24:13.520 news didn't tell

00:24:14.200 you, you

00:24:14.580 wouldn't know.

00:24:15.980 Would you?

00:24:17.400 Would you know

00:24:18.160 it was a massive

00:24:18.720 problem?

00:24:19.540 Think about your

00:24:20.500 own personal

00:24:21.180 life.

00:24:22.940 If there was

00:24:23.680 no news, no

00:24:24.560 news existed.

00:24:26.120 If you walked

00:24:27.300 around in

00:24:27.760 downtown New

00:24:28.360 York City, you'd

00:24:29.020 say, whoa, big

00:24:29.620 problem.

00:24:30.400 And other cities

00:24:31.220 as well.

00:24:31.640 But most

00:24:32.940 people don't

00:24:33.420 live in the

00:24:33.760 city, do

00:24:34.120 they?

00:24:35.100 Most

00:24:35.460 Republicans?

00:24:37.920 If you lived in

00:24:38.740 a rural place,

00:24:39.520 would you even

00:24:39.960 know there was

00:24:40.360 an issue?

00:24:42.000 I'm just

00:24:42.540 curious.

00:24:43.420 It is a big

00:24:44.020 issue.

00:24:44.440 I'm not downplaying

00:24:45.580 it.

00:24:46.100 To me, it seems

00:24:46.900 like the biggest

00:24:47.440 one, the one we

00:24:48.540 have to solve

00:24:48.960 first.

00:24:52.420 All right.

00:24:56.020 Peter Schiff,

00:24:57.240 economist type

00:24:58.320 of guy, famous

00:24:59.140 for his economic

00:25:00.500 perditions.

00:25:01.640 He says that

00:25:03.140 the news has

00:25:04.620 adjusted the

00:25:05.940 inflation numbers

00:25:06.800 and that instead

00:25:07.880 of going down,

00:25:08.980 it was actually

00:25:09.600 going up in the

00:25:11.080 fourth quarter.

00:25:13.300 Do you believe

00:25:14.140 that?

00:25:15.160 That instead of

00:25:15.880 inflation heading

00:25:16.720 down, it was

00:25:17.300 heading up and

00:25:18.240 we got it

00:25:18.700 completely wrong?

00:25:21.300 Do you believe

00:25:22.160 that economic

00:25:22.800 news is real?

00:25:25.220 No.

00:25:28.500 It's an election

00:25:29.340 year and the

00:25:32.080 administration that

00:25:33.020 controls the

00:25:34.480 sources of news

00:25:35.320 about the

00:25:35.800 economy are

00:25:37.640 going to put it

00:25:38.220 all in the most

00:25:38.720 positive light.

00:25:40.000 But one of their

00:25:40.960 tricks, it's well

00:25:42.140 understood by at

00:25:43.200 least this audience,

00:25:44.120 is that you say

00:25:45.200 it's all good news

00:25:46.040 and there's a big

00:25:46.780 news cycle about it

00:25:48.140 and then later you

00:25:48.900 downgrade and say,

00:25:49.880 oh, we got that

00:25:50.440 wrong.

00:25:51.180 And you wind it

00:25:51.860 back a little bit

00:25:52.580 and nobody

00:25:53.120 notices the

00:25:53.820 correction.

00:25:55.020 And then you

00:25:55.540 just repeat.

00:25:56.540 It works.

00:25:57.880 So of course

00:25:58.400 they'll keep doing

00:25:58.880 it.

00:25:59.500 Now, I don't know

00:26:00.160 that Peter Schiff

00:26:00.860 is right, but I

00:26:02.520 would say if you

00:26:03.860 believe inflation

00:26:04.840 numbers, I don't

00:26:06.300 know why you

00:26:06.800 would.

00:26:08.760 Because inflation

00:26:09.600 can be either up

00:26:10.520 or down depending

00:26:11.180 on what you decide

00:26:12.400 to look at and

00:26:13.720 when you decide to

00:26:14.660 look at it and

00:26:15.740 are you looking at

00:26:16.400 the rate of change

00:26:17.380 or the absolute.

00:26:18.800 You can make

00:26:19.300 inflation anything

00:26:19.980 you want and the

00:26:20.800 public won't know

00:26:21.820 which method you

00:26:22.840 picked.

00:26:23.940 They'll just say,

00:26:24.620 oh, it's up or

00:26:25.280 it's down.

00:26:26.120 And then they'll

00:26:26.740 look at their own

00:26:27.640 price tag when they

00:26:29.600 buy groceries and

00:26:30.440 they'll say, what?

00:26:33.300 All right.

00:26:35.700 If you'd like to

00:26:36.640 know how bad the

00:26:37.500 situation is in

00:26:38.900 Ukraine and how

00:26:40.460 badly they need

00:26:41.300 extra funding, it's

00:26:43.140 not just dire, but

00:26:45.000 the administration

00:26:45.720 says it's very

00:26:46.680 dire.

00:26:48.120 Now, very dire is

00:26:49.300 worse than dire.

00:26:50.440 Unless you're a

00:26:52.640 writer, in which

00:26:53.680 case, you know

00:26:54.300 the dire and

00:26:55.060 very dire, pretty

00:26:57.480 much exactly the

00:26:58.280 same.

00:26:59.980 Do you know why

00:27:00.780 you say very dire

00:27:02.580 instead of dire?

00:27:04.940 Why would you

00:27:05.660 feel you had to

00:27:06.760 say very dire?

00:27:09.720 Because before it

00:27:11.260 even came out of

00:27:11.940 your mouth, you

00:27:13.300 realize that 70%

00:27:14.860 of the country

00:27:15.380 doesn't know what

00:27:15.980 the word dire

00:27:16.680 means.

00:27:17.240 I'll bet 70% of

00:27:22.180 the country could

00:27:23.620 not correctly

00:27:24.340 define the word

00:27:25.360 dire.

00:27:27.140 I'll bet you at

00:27:28.040 least 40% of them

00:27:29.780 would say, well,

00:27:31.180 dire straits,

00:27:32.820 probably a good

00:27:33.460 thing.

00:27:34.000 It's the name of a

00:27:34.720 band.

00:27:36.080 Yeah.

00:27:37.760 So you say very

00:27:39.200 because you're not

00:27:40.320 sure that anybody

00:27:40.980 understands that dire

00:27:41.960 is bad, but very

00:27:43.300 dire.

00:27:43.620 Well, that's a

00:27:45.180 heads up that it's

00:27:46.320 something bad you

00:27:47.240 should pay attention

00:27:47.940 to.

00:27:49.400 But the question

00:27:50.340 that I would ask

00:27:51.060 is, why do they

00:27:52.440 use a word like

00:27:53.160 dire?

00:27:55.300 If you're asking

00:27:56.260 me for money,

00:27:58.260 the argument

00:28:00.620 should be how I

00:28:02.960 will benefit.

00:28:05.160 That's how you

00:28:05.860 ask for money.

00:28:07.440 I'd like you to

00:28:08.840 give me some

00:28:09.260 money.

00:28:10.160 Why?

00:28:10.540 Well, here's

00:28:12.940 the benefit to

00:28:13.600 you.

00:28:15.280 Now, if you

00:28:16.120 don't put it in

00:28:16.800 terms of the

00:28:17.380 benefit to the

00:28:18.380 people who are

00:28:18.980 giving the money

00:28:19.900 or potentially

00:28:20.960 giving the money,

00:28:21.920 then I'm not

00:28:23.300 going to pay

00:28:23.620 attention to you.

00:28:25.440 I don't care

00:28:26.320 what you say

00:28:27.280 after that.

00:28:29.060 You tell me

00:28:30.160 why it's good

00:28:30.820 for me, and

00:28:31.860 then we can

00:28:32.420 maybe make a

00:28:34.180 deal.

00:28:34.920 But if your

00:28:35.580 argument is that

00:28:36.500 my money is

00:28:37.420 good for somebody

00:28:38.380 else, even

00:28:39.780 really good,

00:28:40.540 like even

00:28:41.580 somebody who's

00:28:42.240 in not just

00:28:43.300 dire situation,

00:28:44.840 but I'm

00:28:45.340 talking very

00:28:46.020 dire, that's

00:28:47.680 not really the

00:28:48.840 right sales pitch.

00:28:50.420 Now, why is it

00:28:51.420 that they have

00:28:51.940 to put it in

00:28:52.440 these terms

00:28:53.040 instead of

00:28:54.260 telling me the

00:28:56.280 potential source

00:28:57.220 of their funding

00:28:57.880 why I should

00:28:59.660 give my money

00:29:00.360 to someone

00:29:01.640 else?

00:29:02.740 The reason

00:29:03.460 that they don't

00:29:03.960 say it that way

00:29:04.640 is that they

00:29:05.080 don't have an

00:29:05.500 argument.

00:29:06.420 If they had

00:29:07.300 an argument for

00:29:08.000 why I should

00:29:09.580 give them

00:29:10.000 money, they

00:29:11.240 would tell

00:29:11.540 me.

00:29:12.500 They wouldn't

00:29:13.120 leave that

00:29:13.560 out.

00:29:14.600 It's a pretty

00:29:15.140 clear signal that

00:29:16.020 it's not for the

00:29:16.600 benefit of the

00:29:17.060 country.

00:29:18.100 It's a pretty

00:29:18.940 clear signal.

00:29:20.420 The way they

00:29:21.060 talk about it is

00:29:21.980 not in terms of

00:29:22.860 how it's good

00:29:23.680 for us.

00:29:25.540 And when they

00:29:26.280 do, it all

00:29:27.140 sounds like a

00:29:27.900 college essay,

00:29:30.380 not something they

00:29:31.180 really believe.

00:29:32.880 Do they really

00:29:33.620 believe that Putin's

00:29:34.520 going to roll the

00:29:35.100 rest of Europe

00:29:36.660 if we were to

00:29:38.340 make a peace

00:29:38.800 deal with them

00:29:39.260 now?

00:29:40.600 Do they really

00:29:41.380 believe that?

00:29:42.520 Because I don't

00:29:42.960 think the public

00:29:43.500 was buying it.

00:29:45.040 I think the

00:29:45.560 public was

00:29:46.020 saying, but

00:29:46.900 aren't the

00:29:48.320 people that

00:29:48.840 they're trying

00:29:49.260 to conquer

00:29:49.900 largely Russian

00:29:52.360 speaking people

00:29:53.160 who would rather

00:29:53.780 be Russian?

00:29:54.940 How is that

00:29:55.580 like anything

00:29:56.180 else?

00:29:57.520 Now you might

00:29:58.040 say, but he'll

00:29:58.720 keep doing a

00:30:00.180 Hitler technique

00:30:00.840 where he'll say,

00:30:01.700 well, there's

00:30:03.140 three Russian

00:30:03.700 people in Germany,

00:30:04.520 so we should

00:30:05.220 own Germany.

00:30:05.960 But I don't

00:30:06.380 think that's

00:30:06.920 going to happen.

00:30:08.240 I really don't

00:30:09.140 think that's

00:30:09.600 going to happen.

00:30:11.360 So what it

00:30:14.240 sounds like to

00:30:14.800 me when they

00:30:15.220 ask for money

00:30:15.700 is we made

00:30:16.300 a huge mistake,

00:30:17.640 but we can

00:30:18.220 make that

00:30:18.660 mistake much

00:30:19.340 bigger if you

00:30:20.120 let us steal

00:30:20.600 money from

00:30:21.080 voters.

00:30:23.720 You know

00:30:24.220 what it

00:30:24.420 reminds me of?

00:30:26.140 And I've

00:30:26.440 used this

00:30:26.840 example before.

00:30:28.080 I used to

00:30:28.740 work in a

00:30:29.320 big bank.

00:30:30.420 We had this

00:30:31.020 employee that

00:30:32.560 we were told

00:30:33.260 he's very

00:30:33.860 unpleasant to

00:30:34.500 work with,

00:30:35.140 but he

00:30:35.580 could never

00:30:35.960 be fired

00:30:36.600 because he's

00:30:37.540 the only one

00:30:37.980 who knows

00:30:38.360 how to keep

00:30:39.520 our important

00:30:40.140 computer systems

00:30:41.200 working.

00:30:42.500 A bank.

00:30:43.940 There was

00:30:44.280 literally a

00:30:44.840 bank who

00:30:45.940 believed that

00:30:46.520 the bank

00:30:46.960 would have

00:30:47.260 to go out

00:30:47.560 of business

00:30:47.940 if this

00:30:48.400 one guy

00:30:49.100 was somehow

00:30:50.680 lost.

00:30:52.900 Now, by

00:30:53.280 the way,

00:30:53.520 that guy

00:30:53.860 became the

00:30:54.480 physical model

00:30:55.280 for Dilbert

00:30:55.860 because he

00:30:57.720 had an

00:30:57.940 interesting body

00:30:58.740 shape.

00:30:59.260 It was like

00:30:59.660 Dilbert.

00:31:00.460 So I

00:31:00.880 actually created

00:31:02.600 Dilbert based

00:31:03.280 on that one

00:31:03.780 guy that

00:31:04.220 we couldn't

00:31:04.800 fire.

00:31:06.860 I never

00:31:08.900 told him,

00:31:09.700 so I always

00:31:10.060 wondered if he

00:31:10.620 knew he was

00:31:11.040 a model for

00:31:11.580 Dilbert.

00:31:12.740 Did he ever

00:31:13.240 go to the

00:31:13.560 grocery store

00:31:14.220 and have the

00:31:15.760 cashier say,

00:31:17.620 you remind me

00:31:20.040 of someone,

00:31:21.860 but I can't

00:31:22.380 put my finger

00:31:23.000 on it.

00:31:24.220 Well, that's

00:31:24.660 me.

00:31:25.340 Yeah, I did

00:31:25.980 that.

00:31:26.820 But anyway, I

00:31:27.360 remember being

00:31:27.960 told over and

00:31:28.980 over again that

00:31:29.780 he was the

00:31:30.200 most valuable

00:31:30.800 key employee

00:31:31.700 and if he

00:31:32.580 got fired,

00:31:33.200 we couldn't

00:31:33.520 even keep

00:31:33.960 the computers

00:31:34.560 running.

00:31:35.280 They literally

00:31:35.960 said that,

00:31:37.180 that the

00:31:37.540 computers would

00:31:38.220 stop running.

00:31:39.740 Basically, the

00:31:40.380 whole business

00:31:40.840 would have to

00:31:41.300 close because

00:31:41.820 this one guy.

00:31:43.260 And then one

00:31:43.780 day, he

00:31:45.740 left.

00:31:47.060 He got a

00:31:47.440 better job.

00:31:49.180 Whoa.

00:31:50.440 And then the

00:31:51.340 bank closed.

00:31:53.720 No, it

00:31:54.280 didn't.

00:31:55.140 You know what

00:31:55.500 actually happened?

00:31:57.440 Eh, nothing.

00:31:58.080 Turns out it

00:32:00.460 wasn't that

00:32:00.980 important.

00:32:03.720 We talked

00:32:04.600 ourselves into

00:32:05.320 it being the

00:32:05.840 most important

00:32:06.380 thing in the

00:32:06.780 world, but

00:32:07.120 there was no

00:32:07.560 justification for

00:32:08.560 it.

00:32:09.140 None at all.

00:32:10.420 And by the

00:32:10.860 way, how many

00:32:11.860 times have you

00:32:12.420 seen something

00:32:13.000 just like that?

00:32:14.820 Right?

00:32:15.440 Just like that.

00:32:18.120 So I'm not

00:32:19.520 too worried about

00:32:20.720 funding Ukraine

00:32:21.700 in terms of

00:32:22.320 the U.S.

00:32:25.520 I'm not even

00:32:26.380 sure it's good

00:32:26.840 for Ukraine.

00:32:28.080 If the

00:32:28.940 argument was

00:32:29.720 this was good

00:32:30.420 for the

00:32:30.780 people of

00:32:31.280 Ukraine, I

00:32:34.040 would say I

00:32:34.680 would care

00:32:35.040 about that.

00:32:36.780 I would say,

00:32:37.380 hey, they're

00:32:37.940 allies, we

00:32:39.560 should probably

00:32:39.940 give them

00:32:40.220 something.

00:32:41.020 But they're

00:32:41.460 not making

00:32:42.000 the argument

00:32:42.480 it's good for

00:32:43.040 the people of

00:32:43.620 Ukraine, are

00:32:44.160 they?

00:32:45.000 Wouldn't that

00:32:45.460 be the most

00:32:46.000 obvious argument?

00:32:47.600 But it seems

00:32:48.300 obvious that the

00:32:49.220 people of Ukraine

00:32:50.000 would be better

00:32:50.680 with an immediate

00:32:51.360 peace deal.

00:32:52.680 Am I wrong

00:32:53.220 about that?

00:32:53.680 Is that not

00:32:54.120 obvious?

00:32:54.580 Now, if they

00:32:57.360 made it a

00:32:57.960 peace deal, they

00:32:59.860 might be very

00:33:00.520 unhappy about

00:33:01.540 how it looks.

00:33:03.560 But it's going

00:33:04.320 to be way

00:33:05.000 better than

00:33:05.600 continuing the

00:33:06.480 war.

00:33:07.360 Way better.

00:33:08.960 Do you think

00:33:09.500 there's anybody

00:33:10.040 in the non-occupied

00:33:11.660 part of Ukraine

00:33:12.400 who thinks that

00:33:13.800 their life would

00:33:14.640 be better if

00:33:16.900 they kept

00:33:17.300 fighting to get

00:33:18.000 Crimea back?

00:33:19.440 Is there anybody

00:33:20.400 who thinks that?

00:33:21.180 Like, even one

00:33:21.860 person?

00:33:23.500 I doubt it.

00:33:27.220 Well, James

00:33:28.220 Comer is saying

00:33:28.920 that the FBI

00:33:29.720 informant who

00:33:30.520 at one point

00:33:31.060 claimed that

00:33:32.080 he had

00:33:32.740 information that

00:33:33.420 Biden got

00:33:33.920 bribed, but

00:33:35.800 then he got

00:33:36.460 arrested, the

00:33:37.320 informant did,

00:33:38.540 and he went

00:33:39.160 from somebody

00:33:40.240 that Christopher

00:33:41.020 Ray said,

00:33:41.580 highly, highly

00:33:42.180 credible.

00:33:43.220 For years,

00:33:44.000 we've been using

00:33:44.500 him.

00:33:44.720 He's just the

00:33:45.320 greatest source.

00:33:47.080 But as soon as

00:33:47.640 he said something

00:33:48.280 about Biden,

00:33:49.460 it turns out he

00:33:50.120 was a lying

00:33:50.960 bastard, and

00:33:51.720 they immediately

00:33:52.240 locked him

00:33:52.940 up.

00:33:55.160 So, Comer

00:33:56.840 is saying that

00:33:57.440 he doesn't

00:33:57.820 trust the FBI

00:33:58.820 to be giving

00:34:01.200 it to him

00:34:01.640 straight, and

00:34:03.480 so we are

00:34:04.540 left to sort

00:34:05.860 this out

00:34:06.280 ourselves,

00:34:07.420 because there's

00:34:07.960 no way to

00:34:08.340 know.

00:34:09.480 I don't believe

00:34:10.360 we're ever going

00:34:10.860 to know the

00:34:11.280 answer of

00:34:13.020 whether the

00:34:13.420 FBI informant

00:34:14.200 was telling

00:34:14.540 the truth.

00:34:16.500 I just think

00:34:17.440 we'll never

00:34:17.800 know.

00:34:18.760 So we have

00:34:19.360 to pick.

00:34:19.800 you have to

00:34:21.640 make a

00:34:21.960 working

00:34:22.360 assumption

00:34:22.860 about what

00:34:24.220 is more

00:34:24.580 likely,

00:34:24.980 that the

00:34:26.460 FBI is

00:34:27.280 lying or

00:34:28.480 that the

00:34:28.860 informant is

00:34:29.520 lying.

00:34:31.260 Now, if

00:34:32.080 this were 20

00:34:32.860 years ago,

00:34:33.420 I'd say,

00:34:34.020 come on,

00:34:34.600 that's easy.

00:34:35.760 Why would

00:34:36.140 the FBI

00:34:36.580 lie?

00:34:38.020 Dumb.

00:34:39.440 You know,

00:34:39.740 obviously,

00:34:40.240 the informant's

00:34:40.780 a liar.

00:34:41.240 He's a Russian

00:34:42.260 guy.

00:34:42.720 He's an

00:34:43.040 informant.

00:34:43.740 I mean,

00:34:43.940 that's low

00:34:44.380 credibility right

00:34:45.200 off the

00:34:45.520 bat.

00:34:47.000 But suppose

00:34:47.580 I told you

00:34:48.260 that for

00:34:49.680 years and

00:34:50.260 years,

00:34:50.660 the informant

00:34:51.240 had an

00:34:51.640 impeccable

00:34:52.180 record of

00:34:52.740 accuracy,

00:34:54.300 but for

00:34:54.680 years and

00:34:55.140 years,

00:34:55.480 the FBI

00:34:55.940 has an

00:34:56.460 impeccable

00:34:56.940 record of

00:34:57.480 being corrupt.

00:34:58.720 At least

00:34:59.100 that's what

00:34:59.420 it looks

00:34:59.760 like from

00:35:00.640 the outside.

00:35:02.040 I'm not

00:35:02.660 saying anybody

00:35:03.180 has been

00:35:03.460 necessarily

00:35:04.160 indicted or

00:35:05.600 anything,

00:35:06.260 but from

00:35:06.820 the outside,

00:35:08.080 it appears

00:35:08.780 they've been

00:35:09.140 corrupt for

00:35:09.640 a number

00:35:09.920 of years.

00:35:10.880 So we

00:35:11.280 would be

00:35:12.020 forced to

00:35:12.540 believe that

00:35:13.760 the entity,

00:35:14.440 the FBI,

00:35:15.200 that has

00:35:16.820 looked corrupt

00:35:17.560 to us for

00:35:19.480 several years,

00:35:20.400 is now

00:35:21.200 suddenly more

00:35:21.980 credible than

00:35:23.500 the guy that

00:35:24.260 even the FBI

00:35:25.200 said was

00:35:25.800 telling the

00:35:26.340 truth for

00:35:26.740 years.

00:35:27.780 And then

00:35:28.100 suddenly he

00:35:28.660 turned bad

00:35:29.200 on this one

00:35:29.720 question.

00:35:30.780 Now there

00:35:31.120 is some

00:35:31.440 indication that

00:35:32.160 he was

00:35:32.460 politically biased

00:35:33.480 against Biden.

00:35:35.320 So is he

00:35:37.020 telling the

00:35:37.400 truth?

00:35:37.760 I don't know.

00:35:38.780 There's a good

00:35:39.440 chance he's

00:35:39.980 not.

00:35:41.440 But why

00:35:41.860 would you

00:35:42.160 trust the

00:35:42.780 FBI?

00:35:43.220 I mean,

00:35:45.400 it has

00:35:45.820 all the

00:35:46.440 look of

00:35:47.620 them covering

00:35:48.300 up an

00:35:48.680 embarrassing

00:35:49.100 thing.

00:35:51.200 So my

00:35:51.920 working

00:35:52.280 assumption is

00:35:53.140 that the

00:35:54.100 FBI informant

00:35:54.980 told the

00:35:55.380 truth, but

00:35:56.360 I wouldn't

00:35:56.740 say it's

00:35:57.100 credible.

00:35:58.380 I wouldn't

00:35:58.800 say the

00:35:59.140 informer is

00:35:59.720 credible, but

00:36:01.280 the FBI is

00:36:02.060 even less

00:36:02.660 so.

00:36:03.480 So I'm

00:36:03.800 going to make

00:36:04.580 my pick

00:36:05.220 based on

00:36:06.140 recent history.

00:36:07.840 Recent

00:36:08.200 history suggests

00:36:09.000 the FBI is

00:36:09.900 less credible

00:36:10.660 than a

00:36:11.640 random

00:36:12.000 informant

00:36:12.660 who has

00:36:12.940 been

00:36:13.140 credible

00:36:13.480 up to

00:36:13.900 this

00:36:14.100 point.

00:36:19.400 I love

00:36:20.360 the fact

00:36:20.760 that we're

00:36:21.100 talking about

00:36:21.600 whether

00:36:21.940 Fannie

00:36:22.600 Willis had

00:36:23.540 sex with

00:36:24.220 her boyfriend

00:36:25.480 Wade in

00:36:26.480 the office

00:36:27.020 or not.

00:36:28.120 So somehow

00:36:28.660 that question

00:36:29.540 became important

00:36:31.120 in the

00:36:32.520 proceedings.

00:36:34.220 And some

00:36:34.780 friend of

00:36:35.360 Wade came

00:36:36.720 in and

00:36:37.160 this poor

00:36:37.820 bastard had

00:36:39.580 to answer

00:36:40.000 questions about

00:36:40.760 how much

00:36:41.180 he knew

00:36:41.500 about when

00:36:42.000 it started

00:36:42.460 because when

00:36:43.440 it started

00:36:43.920 is a real

00:36:44.440 issue, not

00:36:45.000 the fact

00:36:45.820 that it

00:36:46.120 happened.

00:36:48.880 And he

00:36:49.800 was pretty

00:36:50.540 nervous

00:36:50.960 answering

00:36:51.540 questions and

00:36:53.020 he ended

00:36:53.340 up with

00:36:53.840 the question

00:36:55.700 he was asked

00:36:56.120 was, were

00:36:57.520 you told

00:36:58.060 by Wade

00:36:58.760 that he

00:36:59.940 would have

00:37:00.300 sex in

00:37:01.120 the office

00:37:01.820 with Fannie?

00:37:04.380 Now I

00:37:05.000 just love

00:37:05.500 that that

00:37:05.820 was a

00:37:06.180 legitimate

00:37:06.580 question because

00:37:07.660 again it's

00:37:08.280 about the

00:37:08.660 timeline, it's

00:37:09.380 not about

00:37:09.780 whether they

00:37:10.240 had sex.

00:37:11.200 But the

00:37:11.560 fact that it

00:37:12.020 came down

00:37:12.440 to did

00:37:12.780 they have

00:37:13.120 sex in

00:37:13.680 the office,

00:37:15.400 I am

00:37:16.660 very

00:37:16.940 entertained,

00:37:18.360 very

00:37:18.720 entertained.

00:37:20.040 Now the

00:37:20.700 friend who

00:37:21.800 some think

00:37:22.640 did hear that

00:37:23.740 they had

00:37:24.080 sex in the

00:37:24.560 office said

00:37:25.540 he did not

00:37:26.140 recall that

00:37:29.540 conversation.

00:37:31.300 Now when

00:37:32.000 he said it

00:37:32.500 he did not

00:37:33.080 look honest

00:37:33.740 because he

00:37:35.820 didn't recall

00:37:36.360 that it

00:37:36.620 happened and

00:37:37.160 he didn't

00:37:37.520 recall that it

00:37:38.140 didn't happen.

00:37:39.380 Which is

00:37:39.900 not really

00:37:40.600 a thing.

00:37:42.920 In your

00:37:43.620 entire life

00:37:44.540 has anybody

00:37:45.820 ever told

00:37:46.580 you about

00:37:47.780 a real

00:37:48.560 sexual encounter

00:37:49.480 in an office

00:37:50.220 and you

00:37:50.980 couldn't remember

00:37:51.540 the conversation

00:37:52.260 in your whole

00:37:53.440 life?

00:37:54.280 Because you've

00:37:54.760 probably heard

00:37:55.160 stories like

00:37:55.760 that.

00:37:56.060 Like this

00:37:56.840 one and that

00:37:57.260 one had sex

00:37:57.840 in the office.

00:37:58.740 You'll never

00:37:59.440 forget it

00:38:00.200 because it's

00:38:01.100 so visual.

00:38:02.320 You imagine

00:38:03.100 the office,

00:38:03.780 you imagine

00:38:04.180 the two of

00:38:04.660 them and

00:38:05.000 whether you

00:38:05.320 like it or

00:38:05.740 not,

00:38:05.980 it's very

00:38:06.380 visual.

00:38:07.240 You will

00:38:07.720 remember that

00:38:08.300 forever even

00:38:09.200 if they say,

00:38:10.640 well let me

00:38:11.200 put it this

00:38:11.560 way, you

00:38:13.460 would know it

00:38:14.120 didn't happen

00:38:14.880 because you

00:38:16.380 would know you

00:38:16.920 would have

00:38:17.180 remembered it.

00:38:19.120 But since

00:38:20.600 memory is a

00:38:21.600 fluid thing,

00:38:25.220 it's not

00:38:26.060 impossible that

00:38:27.300 he wouldn't

00:38:27.660 remember.

00:38:29.140 So the

00:38:29.480 friend, I

00:38:30.940 tell you, you

00:38:31.380 need to get a

00:38:31.960 friend like this

00:38:32.600 one.

00:38:32.780 Like I

00:38:34.280 watched the

00:38:35.000 friend try to

00:38:35.820 navigate this

00:38:36.620 difficult situation

00:38:37.680 because I'm sure

00:38:38.740 he doesn't want

00:38:39.260 to break the

00:38:39.700 law, doesn't

00:38:40.560 want to go to

00:38:41.040 jail, doesn't

00:38:41.720 want to lie

00:38:42.520 under oath, but

00:38:43.640 at the same

00:38:44.060 time he doesn't

00:38:44.680 want to destroy

00:38:46.360 his friend.

00:38:48.620 And to my

00:38:50.780 subjective opinion,

00:38:53.120 and it's purely

00:38:53.820 subjective, he

00:38:55.140 looked like he

00:38:55.860 was lying to

00:38:57.700 protect his

00:38:58.320 friend, and I

00:39:00.260 actually appreciated

00:39:01.220 it.

00:39:01.480 I have a

00:39:03.540 rule that you

00:39:04.140 can lie about

00:39:04.740 sex.

00:39:06.860 Now there

00:39:07.320 might be some

00:39:07.840 exception, like

00:39:08.680 if you have

00:39:09.620 AIDS or

00:39:10.000 something, but

00:39:10.780 outside of the

00:39:11.380 normal, and

00:39:13.460 of the dangerous

00:39:14.640 realm, I think

00:39:16.960 that if somebody

00:39:17.480 asks you if you

00:39:18.200 banged your boss

00:39:18.920 on her desk, you

00:39:21.040 can lie.

00:39:22.920 I don't find any

00:39:24.740 problem with that.

00:39:26.300 I have no

00:39:27.040 problem, even in

00:39:27.980 a legal process.

00:39:30.240 As long as the

00:39:30.920 sex was

00:39:31.380 consensual, that's

00:39:33.240 important to the

00:39:34.080 story, got to be

00:39:35.340 consensual, but if

00:39:37.240 you lie about

00:39:38.020 consensual sex, even

00:39:40.100 under oath, I get

00:39:41.500 that it's illegal, but

00:39:43.360 my personal standard

00:39:44.480 is that's fine.

00:39:46.480 Do you know who

00:39:47.900 doesn't get to ask

00:39:48.820 about your sex life

00:39:50.100 and where you put

00:39:51.520 your penis?

00:39:52.900 Your government.

00:39:55.060 Unless that was a

00:39:56.340 crime, like if you

00:39:57.360 were raping somebody,

00:39:58.100 of course, if it was

00:40:00.240 some other dangerous

00:40:01.120 situation, of course.

00:40:03.120 But if it's just an

00:40:04.320 ancillary question to

00:40:06.280 some timeline, no,

00:40:09.400 no, you don't have

00:40:10.380 access to that

00:40:11.120 information.

00:40:12.100 You don't have a

00:40:12.940 right to it, even if

00:40:14.160 the law says so.

00:40:15.100 I'm sorry.

00:40:16.020 No.

00:40:16.420 My standard is if

00:40:17.960 the friend, I'll say

00:40:19.020 if, if the friend

00:40:20.860 lied his ass off about

00:40:23.540 his friend's sex life,

00:40:25.140 totally okay with it.

00:40:27.400 I don't care what it

00:40:28.480 does to the case.

00:40:30.060 Totally okay with it.

00:40:31.560 If you can't prove

00:40:32.460 your case without

00:40:33.180 asking the friend to

00:40:35.140 nar count his friend,

00:40:37.240 well, then forget it.

00:40:39.260 Then forget it.

00:40:40.200 You got to let it go.

00:40:41.960 If you need that, let

00:40:44.940 it go.

00:40:46.540 Because no.

00:40:48.180 Nope.

00:40:49.120 I would certainly want

00:40:50.300 my friend to lie for

00:40:51.280 me in this case, and I

00:40:52.920 have total respect for

00:40:54.960 the friend who it

00:40:56.580 looks like, I don't

00:40:58.140 know for sure, but it

00:40:59.680 looks like he lied to

00:41:00.500 protect his friend, and

00:41:01.380 I appreciate it.

00:41:04.780 Well, apparently,

00:41:05.940 Fannie Wills is a huge

00:41:07.140 racist, and that's now

00:41:09.180 in evidence.

00:41:10.120 So apparently, former

00:41:11.220 employees say that she

00:41:13.140 was, she had extreme

00:41:14.540 DEI training.

00:41:16.760 And part of the

00:41:17.820 training was that

00:41:19.720 people were forced to

00:41:21.460 say that being, that

00:41:22.580 whiteness is bad.

00:41:25.280 So Breitbart has that

00:41:26.900 story.

00:41:27.360 Wendell Husebo has some

00:41:30.360 kind of sources, former

00:41:31.420 employees.

00:41:32.260 Now, that's obvious

00:41:33.100 racism.

00:41:34.840 So we now know she's

00:41:36.280 racist.

00:41:38.000 Tennessee just passed a

00:41:40.280 law that would ban

00:41:41.020 pride flags from

00:41:42.300 classrooms.

00:41:43.940 Now, as you know, I am

00:41:47.060 pro-LGBTQ.

00:41:49.560 I say, let people be

00:41:52.100 people, generally

00:41:54.320 speaking.

00:41:55.200 But it makes me wonder,

00:41:57.840 why did anybody think

00:42:00.200 their thing was important

00:42:01.880 enough that you get a

00:42:02.780 flag in the school

00:42:04.560 rooms?

00:42:06.300 So I agree with

00:42:07.560 Tennessee that no

00:42:09.560 matter how much I love

00:42:10.760 the LGBT community, and

00:42:13.920 I love them a lot, they

00:42:16.580 don't get a flag.

00:42:17.440 You don't get a

00:42:19.160 freaking flag.

00:42:20.700 Where's my bald white

00:42:22.220 guy flag?

00:42:24.900 Like, everybody's got a

00:42:26.120 reason for a flag.

00:42:27.020 You don't get a special

00:42:27.860 flag.

00:42:29.560 Now, you know, maybe

00:42:30.560 there was a time when it

00:42:33.220 was sort of a bigger

00:42:34.200 issue, and, you know,

00:42:36.020 maybe it made sense to,

00:42:37.160 you know, push a little

00:42:37.820 harder, because, but I

00:42:39.840 would say the LGBTQ

00:42:41.020 community is the most

00:42:43.600 successful of what you

00:42:46.580 had once called a

00:42:47.420 marginalized community.

00:42:49.000 Would you agree?

00:42:51.640 Have you ever said,

00:42:53.040 ooh, we better not

00:42:54.460 visit that part of the

00:42:56.060 town, because that's a

00:42:57.740 heavy gay area, because

00:43:00.340 the crime will be so high

00:43:01.520 in the gay area?

00:43:03.180 Never.

00:43:05.720 Did you ever want to not

00:43:07.200 hire somebody because they

00:43:08.660 were gay?

00:43:10.060 Well, there was a day that

00:43:11.060 that was a thing.

00:43:11.860 But in 2024, is that even

00:43:13.960 a thing?

00:43:15.900 Like, have you ever seen

00:43:17.080 anybody who couldn't do

00:43:17.880 their job because they had

00:43:19.200 some cock last night?

00:43:21.160 I've never heard of it.

00:43:23.300 Like, let people be

00:43:24.360 people.

00:43:25.420 Let them be people.

00:43:26.460 Let them do whatever they

00:43:27.200 want if it's legal.

00:43:30.060 So, no, I think LGBTQ

00:43:31.620 should take the win on

00:43:33.200 this.

00:43:34.180 The win is that you don't

00:43:35.420 need to flag.

00:43:37.280 Do you get that?

00:43:37.980 If it sounds like I'm

00:43:40.500 saying something that is

00:43:41.240 anti-LBGQ, it's the

00:43:43.300 opposite.

00:43:44.180 I'm saying, you did

00:43:45.260 great.

00:43:47.100 The entire LGBTQ

00:43:48.620 people, oh, my God.

00:43:52.660 Like, in the, in the,

00:43:53.700 I was going to say, the

00:43:56.640 anal, I don't know how to

00:43:59.160 say the word now.

00:44:00.360 Is it in the annals of

00:44:01.660 history?

00:44:03.400 Right?

00:44:06.120 In the annals of

00:44:07.240 history.

00:44:08.720 I would say the LGBT

00:44:10.000 community has done the

00:44:12.360 most incredible job of,

00:44:15.180 you know, improving their

00:44:16.320 standing in the community

00:44:17.580 to the point where I think

00:44:20.200 this is a sign of victory.

00:44:22.540 It's a sign of victory if

00:44:24.680 you don't need your flag.

00:44:26.180 That's like the ultimate

00:44:27.180 sign.

00:44:29.880 So, take the win, LGBTQ.

00:44:32.300 I know it doesn't feel that

00:44:33.260 way, but, you know, in my

00:44:35.960 opinion, you guys are

00:44:36.980 winners.

00:44:37.220 All right.

00:44:39.240 Let's talk about the

00:44:40.200 increased rate of cancer.

00:44:41.460 Did you know there's

00:44:42.060 excess deaths?

00:44:43.180 There's a whole bunch of

00:44:44.100 cancer among especially

00:44:45.520 younger people.

00:44:47.320 So, what's that all about?

00:44:49.020 In the comments.

00:44:51.240 Wall Street General says,

00:44:53.160 doctors are trying to

00:44:54.240 figure out why excess

00:44:55.540 deaths are so high among

00:44:57.180 young people.

00:44:58.180 Go.

00:44:58.340 come on, you're not falling

00:45:01.660 into my trap.

00:45:02.580 Come on.

00:45:04.020 Come on.

00:45:06.340 You're all too smart.

00:45:07.880 Say it.

00:45:09.160 You think it's the shots.

00:45:10.980 Say it.

00:45:12.460 Say it.

00:45:13.860 All right.

00:45:14.500 You're all too smart.

00:45:15.640 Damn it.

00:45:16.920 All right.

00:45:17.300 So, some people are

00:45:18.920 going to look at a story

00:45:19.560 like that and they're

00:45:20.960 going to say, hey, these

00:45:23.760 excess deaths are obviously

00:45:25.260 from either COVID or

00:45:27.800 obviously from the shots.

00:45:30.960 But did you know, and I

00:45:32.620 didn't know this, I found

00:45:33.700 out this today from the

00:45:35.100 Wall Street Journal, if it's

00:45:36.320 true, that this increase in

00:45:40.080 cancer among the young

00:45:41.680 started long before the

00:45:44.000 COVID pandemic.

00:45:47.340 Is that true?

00:45:49.640 I'm going to say maybe.

00:45:52.020 Because here's my problem.

00:45:54.560 Have we not all seen

00:45:56.320 doctors and data experts say

00:46:00.560 that there's an unexplained

00:46:02.440 excess death among young

00:46:04.940 people that started with the

00:46:06.960 pandemic and continues, or

00:46:09.820 actually started about the

00:46:10.940 time as the vaccinations

00:46:12.000 and continues?

00:46:14.180 Have you not all seen those

00:46:15.980 posts on social media?

00:46:18.560 And these are actual

00:46:19.960 working doctors and some of

00:46:22.440 the best data analysts ever.

00:46:25.840 And they've been saying that

00:46:28.100 this excess deaths, especially

00:46:29.840 cancer, specifically cancer

00:46:31.840 was in here, that the excess

00:46:33.660 deaths among the young started

00:46:35.940 with the rollout of the

00:46:38.380 vaccinations.

00:46:38.960 Now, the Wall Street Journal is

00:46:42.300 reporting that it's long been

00:46:44.840 known that it started way before

00:46:46.360 the vaccinations.

00:46:47.520 Which one of those is true?

00:46:52.340 Now, let me tell you what you can

00:46:54.220 conclude from this.

00:46:56.060 You can't trust any data about the

00:46:58.840 pandemic.

00:47:00.900 You can't.

00:47:01.960 You can't trust any data from the

00:47:04.900 pandemic.

00:47:05.300 Why is it that people that I

00:47:07.480 thought were pretty credible

00:47:08.500 were claiming that there was

00:47:10.500 excess deaths that started?

00:47:12.040 I've seen the graphs.

00:47:13.780 Haven't you seen the graphs?

00:47:16.100 There's one that goes around all

00:47:17.480 the time, showing that everything

00:47:19.480 looked normal until the

00:47:20.920 vaccinations came out and then

00:47:22.260 excess deaths spiked.

00:47:25.820 Was that always made up?

00:47:27.440 Or, I could give you three

00:47:30.920 possibilities for why

00:47:32.300 there's one group who thinks

00:47:34.140 that the data shows it started

00:47:35.580 with the vaccinations, and yet

00:47:37.400 the Wall Street Journal is

00:47:38.420 reporting that it started years

00:47:40.080 earlier.

00:47:41.620 Three possibilities.

00:47:43.380 Number one, one of the groups

00:47:45.100 looked at the wrong data.

00:47:47.440 Maybe the Wall Street Journal's

00:47:48.900 reporting is about people who

00:47:51.360 looked at the correct data.

00:47:53.260 Perhaps the stuff on the

00:47:54.320 internet is people who looked at

00:47:56.360 the wrong data.

00:47:57.840 But do you believe that?

00:48:00.040 Because how could there be more

00:48:01.320 than one set of data about

00:48:03.480 excess deaths?

00:48:04.660 Is it captured in more than

00:48:06.540 one place and it's different?

00:48:09.440 That would be kind of a

00:48:10.500 mystery.

00:48:12.020 Or two, the story is planted by

00:48:14.600 Big Pharma, and it's just not

00:48:16.820 true that there have long been

00:48:19.740 more excess deaths before the

00:48:21.260 vaccination.

00:48:22.600 How many think that's the case?

00:48:23.960 It's just a fake story to cover

00:48:25.360 up for Big Pharma who

00:48:26.520 advertises.

00:48:28.920 I don't know.

00:48:30.480 I don't know.

00:48:31.520 Number three, the data is just

00:48:35.640 inaccurate.

00:48:37.520 And somebody's just analyzing it

00:48:38.960 wrong.

00:48:41.040 But I am very sort of curious

00:48:45.720 why there could be so many people

00:48:48.200 on the X platform who are

00:48:50.780 showing their data.

00:48:51.720 They're actually showing the

00:48:53.480 source of their data.

00:48:54.640 And you can go check it

00:48:55.920 yourself.

00:48:56.640 And it seems to show that the

00:48:58.040 excess deaths spiked around the

00:48:59.540 time of the vaccination.

00:49:01.920 And then this data says it didn't.

00:49:04.580 Who's right?

00:49:07.200 Well, if what you did was say,

00:49:10.280 I will decide that the data of

00:49:11.840 this one group is right and the

00:49:13.940 data of the other group is wrong,

00:49:15.400 you're not really trying very

00:49:17.720 hard.

00:49:19.600 Try harder.

00:49:21.960 The conclusion is none of the

00:49:23.940 data is reliable.

00:49:26.000 That's the only conclusion.

00:49:28.340 Now, it's also true that reporting

00:49:30.220 is sketchy.

00:49:31.280 It's also true that, you know,

00:49:33.160 everybody is sort of non-dependable

00:49:36.300 in this context.

00:49:38.040 But the only thing I can take away

00:49:41.380 from this is the data isn't useful

00:49:42.940 because maybe the data is right

00:49:44.900 and we don't know how to

00:49:45.560 analyze it.

00:49:46.740 That would still make it

00:49:47.720 useless.

00:49:48.880 Or if we're good at analyzing

00:49:50.340 but the data is wrong, that

00:49:51.500 makes it useless.

00:49:53.900 Data, useless.

00:49:55.820 Now, here's a story that I swear

00:49:57.720 to God I can't believe it's true.

00:50:00.260 But, you know, Jordan Peterson

00:50:02.020 was interacting with the story

00:50:03.520 and there was a source was

00:50:05.780 shown.

00:50:07.260 So maybe it's true.

00:50:08.080 Canada is introducing the

00:50:12.420 HARMS Act where the government

00:50:15.280 can put you under house arrest

00:50:16.780 or make you wear an ankle

00:50:18.580 bracelet if someone else

00:50:20.620 believes that you might in the

00:50:22.680 future write something hateful

00:50:24.240 online.

00:50:28.540 What?

00:50:30.660 If somebody thinks you might in

00:50:32.580 the future write something

00:50:33.800 hateful online, Canada can put a

00:50:37.160 bracelet on you and give you

00:50:38.220 house arrest.

00:50:39.400 How can that be true?

00:50:41.540 I'm going to put a stake in the

00:50:44.040 story and say it's not true.

00:50:46.720 That there's something missing.

00:50:50.180 Now, I saw the source and it

00:50:52.700 looked like an official bill.

00:50:55.400 There's something wrong here.

00:50:57.520 I'm going to say this is too on

00:50:59.160 the nose.

00:51:00.820 And that there's no way Canada

00:51:02.580 is going to punish people for a

00:51:05.540 crime they didn't do.

00:51:08.820 I'm going to say no.

00:51:10.580 Too on the nose.

00:51:12.060 Now, I get that I saw the

00:51:13.480 source.

00:51:14.460 I get that I saw the source.

00:51:17.520 Don't believe it.

00:51:19.660 All right.

00:51:20.220 We'll see.

00:51:22.900 Gemini, as you know, is a huge

00:51:24.540 embarrassment to Google, whose

00:51:26.040 net worth went way down in the

00:51:28.120 stock market.

00:51:28.880 I don't know what it's doing

00:51:29.580 today.

00:51:30.780 But Gemini was a super racist.

00:51:33.580 I guess they've admitted that it's

00:51:36.020 racist with its imaging because it

00:51:38.260 shows historical characters as

00:51:40.580 black, even if they weren't.

00:51:42.240 But I don't think Google has

00:51:44.160 admitted that all of their text

00:51:45.660 searches are also just as bad.

00:51:48.720 Am I wrong about that?

00:51:51.720 Google did admit that the image

00:51:54.040 search is a problem.

00:51:55.000 But they did not admit that their

00:51:58.500 text results are just as bad.

00:52:00.820 Is that correct?

00:52:01.880 I'll need a fact check on that.

00:52:03.220 I just haven't seen it.

00:52:04.920 But I Googled myself and asked if

00:52:07.920 I'm a racist.

00:52:09.340 And Gemini said, yes.

00:52:11.900 Yes.

00:52:12.780 I'm a racist.

00:52:14.100 Now, how much of my story do you

00:52:15.700 think was correct?

00:52:17.340 Because it talked about my

00:52:19.460 situation getting canceled.

00:52:21.640 It had almost no context.

00:52:23.220 If you remove the context, it

00:52:26.180 looks like I'm the big old racist.

00:52:28.360 Here's the actual way it should

00:52:29.700 have been reported or could have

00:52:32.340 been because, you know, everybody's

00:52:33.900 got a narrative.

00:52:35.140 But it could have been reported

00:52:36.000 this way, that there was a

00:52:37.800 Rasmussen poll suggesting that a

00:52:40.780 large percentage of black people

00:52:42.120 thought it was not OK to be

00:52:43.320 white.

00:52:44.940 Adams, tying this to the headlines

00:52:46.900 and the fact that there's DEI and

00:52:49.820 CRT and ESG, pulled it all

00:52:52.280 together and said, if you're in the

00:52:54.680 group that is being taught by the

00:52:57.300 government, the government, that

00:53:00.360 you're a you're an oppressor and

00:53:04.060 that even if you didn't personally do

00:53:05.380 anything, you're still an oppressor

00:53:06.520 group and that your stuff should be

00:53:08.660 taken from you and given to people

00:53:10.820 who are victims.

00:53:13.300 Now, without even getting into the

00:53:14.940 conversation of whether there are

00:53:16.200 victims and there are oppressors, I

00:53:18.900 say that if you can leave that

00:53:21.240 situation and get to a situation

00:53:23.680 where you're not considered the

00:53:24.940 oppressor, that would be better for

00:53:27.160 you in safety and better for you

00:53:29.600 socially and better for you career

00:53:31.860 wise.

00:53:33.100 Now, that's a statement that 100% of

00:53:36.740 the public agrees with.

00:53:39.120 Now, I will agree that I said it in the

00:53:41.640 most provocative way intentionally.

00:53:43.680 Intentionally, I wanted people to be

00:53:47.320 really pissed off and I succeeded

00:53:50.160 better than I imagined.

00:53:52.400 Boy, people are really mad about that.

00:53:55.340 But if you were to tell the story the

00:53:56.980 way I just did, which part of it is

00:53:59.440 wrong?

00:54:00.600 Give me a fact check.

00:54:02.340 What part of my own telling of the

00:54:04.940 story, which part of that do you

00:54:08.180 disagree with?

00:54:09.880 Right now, most of you are on my

00:54:11.580 team, but I would I submit that

00:54:14.500 there's no black person who disagrees

00:54:16.100 with what I just said.

00:54:18.180 And it's easy to demonstrate.

00:54:20.600 So if a black person says, yeah, but

00:54:22.320 the way you said it or blah, blah,

00:54:24.120 here's how I would respond.

00:54:26.620 You're happily living in your home.

00:54:29.120 And then the the grand Kegel of the

00:54:32.060 KKK moves in next door.

00:54:35.600 Commits no crimes, just moves in next

00:54:38.380 door.

00:54:40.140 Do you think about moving?

00:54:43.040 Or do you think, is there any way,

00:54:44.840 you know, legally I could get them

00:54:46.380 out of there?

00:54:47.320 I would hope so.

00:54:49.040 I would hope so.

00:54:49.740 I would certainly support you in that.

00:54:52.000 Why?

00:54:53.200 Even though your neighbor broke no

00:54:54.760 laws, let's say hypothetically broke

00:54:56.860 no law and is not certain and

00:55:00.060 certainly not any kind of representative

00:55:02.320 of all white people, but you would be

00:55:05.540 crazy to hang around.

00:55:09.020 Now, that's a clean example where the

00:55:11.220 neighbors are just the KKK.

00:55:13.620 But suppose you were going to move into

00:55:15.580 a town and you had the freedom to

00:55:18.040 resettle wherever you wanted within

00:55:20.220 reason.

00:55:21.380 And one of the towns was, you know, an

00:55:23.240 average town.

00:55:23.780 But another town you were considering

00:55:25.820 had 20 percent people who associate

00:55:29.440 with the KKK, 80 percent good

00:55:32.440 people, 80 percent is pretty good, 20

00:55:35.480 percent totally in the KKK.

00:55:38.740 Now, in that case, would you recommend

00:55:41.820 that a black family, if they have an

00:55:44.220 option, move into the town where we know

00:55:46.700 that 20 percent of them absolutely hate

00:55:50.240 them? I wouldn't.

00:55:52.780 I would recommend to that black family,

00:55:54.680 get the F away from that town.

00:55:57.260 Go to a town where people are normal

00:55:58.960 and they'll just treat you for what you

00:56:01.460 contribute.

00:56:03.100 I'm asking only for the same thing.

00:56:06.280 I'm asking only for the same thing.

00:56:08.860 That when my safety or the safety of a

00:56:11.640 family is involved, that I'm going to

00:56:14.120 make the decision based on anything I want.

00:56:16.180 anything I want, because safety is not

00:56:20.640 subordinate to your fucking wokeness.

00:56:24.120 Never will be, never can be, not

00:56:27.080 ethically, not morally, legally.

00:56:29.800 Legally, I might have some problems, but

00:56:32.260 certainly not an ethical or moral or, you

00:56:35.540 know, any kind of religious problem.

00:56:39.300 So, given that Google is very clearly

00:56:43.560 painting me in a racist way, and I printed

00:56:47.060 the message, you can see for yourself.

00:56:51.060 What should I do about that?

00:56:53.480 I believe if I do nothing, it will

00:56:55.440 remain.

00:56:57.540 Wouldn't you agree?

00:56:58.840 If I do nothing, it will remain.

00:57:00.820 If I sue, it will ruin the rest of my life.

00:57:05.420 Because I don't know if I'll win, it'll

00:57:07.120 be expensive, and if I lose, they'll sue me

00:57:10.080 for my, you know, legal fees, and that'll

00:57:12.860 be extraordinary, and it will take all of

00:57:15.400 my time, you know, they'll ask for my

00:57:19.320 records.

00:57:21.120 Like, would they have access to all of my

00:57:23.220 private communication to prove I'm a

00:57:25.740 racist?

00:57:26.760 Would that be part of their, what do you

00:57:28.700 think?

00:57:29.900 Could they say, if the question is whether

00:57:32.620 we're calling you a racist, let's say, with

00:57:36.560 good cause or not, wouldn't they be allowed

00:57:39.200 to look at everything I've ever written

00:57:40.940 anywhere, including privately, to determine

00:57:44.360 if I'm a racist as part of, as part of

00:57:47.100 their defense?

00:57:48.660 So how in the world can suing them ever

00:57:50.660 be a good idea for me?

00:57:52.980 Probably not, right?

00:57:55.780 So what do you do?

00:57:58.940 Well, I have a suggestion.

00:58:02.400 I would recommend that we all call Google

00:58:05.540 racist in all references to them.

00:58:07.620 So, for example, I'm now on the racist

00:58:10.280 YouTube channel, live.

00:58:13.360 Everybody who's watching me on YouTube, you

00:58:16.420 know you're part of a racist entity.

00:58:19.260 And you could be watching it on Rumble, where

00:58:22.220 there are no racists.

00:58:23.500 Well, I'm sure there are racists everywhere.

00:58:25.920 But at least the Rumble platform is not a

00:58:28.460 racist business.

00:58:29.960 They don't, you know, prefer or disassociate

00:58:34.120 from any race.

00:58:35.620 But YouTube is very clearly a racist organization

00:58:38.860 who is defaming a lot of people who don't

00:58:41.240 deserve it.

00:58:44.300 So I'm going to call all of their products racist.

00:58:48.860 And the reason I'm going to do it is if enough

00:58:51.460 of us do it, the next time their AI trains on

00:58:54.900 public information, it will find out that it's a racist.

00:58:57.640 And that's what I'm going for.

00:59:00.680 So if enough of us say their products are racist and

00:59:03.500 associated, presumably the large language model will be

00:59:07.660 able, will pick that up.

00:59:09.800 And by the way, we're not wrong.

00:59:12.280 Google is a racist company.

00:59:15.880 It's, I think it's well demonstrated by the data.

00:59:18.340 There's no question about it.

00:59:20.020 Racists against white people.

00:59:21.760 There's really no question about it.

00:59:23.480 There's some talk about whether the CEO of Google will

00:59:29.480 have to step down.

00:59:30.880 And I would say no, because he's not white.

00:59:33.960 That's probably all he needs.

00:59:36.220 Just not being white should be enough to keep his job.

00:59:39.200 And unfortunately, that's just the way the world works.

00:59:42.220 If he were white, he'd be gone in a minute.

00:59:44.240 If, you know, if he'd done something similar but different

00:59:47.140 from a white standard, he'd be gone in a minute.

00:59:49.860 We all know that.

00:59:50.560 So I'm wondering how long it will be before there's

00:59:55.920 an alternative.

00:59:57.820 Because Elon Musk says that he'll have X mail as an email.

01:00:04.260 And the moment I'm sure that X mail does what I want,

01:00:08.400 I will switch.

01:00:09.940 So being on Gmail is crazy.

01:00:13.020 It's just crazy if you have an option.

01:00:15.280 But, you know, alternatives.

01:00:17.780 It's a pain in the ass to change your email address.

01:00:20.560 Unless I can just forward it, and then it'd be fine.

01:00:25.040 So we've got racist YouTube, racist Gemini AI, racist Google search.

01:00:31.260 And how many of those things could be duplicated by X?

01:00:35.620 So X can already do video.

01:00:38.300 So it can do a lot of the YouTube stuff,

01:00:40.600 but it's not a full YouTube.

01:00:41.780 And it could do Gmail.

01:00:46.000 Could it do search?

01:00:49.580 It seems to me that Grok should eventually be a search engine, right?

01:00:54.780 Just, you know, it's normal evolution.

01:00:57.060 It would become a search engine.

01:00:58.220 Because the only thing you need to make an AI a good search engine

01:01:01.400 is that it's not biased.

01:01:04.960 Am I wrong?

01:01:06.360 The only thing you would need for Grok to be a search engine

01:01:11.380 is for it not to be biased.

01:01:12.940 And then it'd be fine, I think.

01:01:17.580 And by the way, most of the things I search for are products.

01:01:22.060 If I search for news, it's all fake.

01:01:24.460 But when I look for a product, I can find it on Amazon usually.

01:01:28.220 So, all right.

01:01:32.940 I'm hoping that Joe Biden stays in the race.

01:01:35.360 I don't know about you.

01:01:36.160 But nothing would make me happier than seeing Joe go all the way.

01:01:41.500 Partly for the memes.

01:01:43.420 I don't know if you've seen the meme of the giant ice cream cone

01:01:46.320 that's licking Biden's head in a little cone.

01:01:50.140 It's pretty funny.

01:01:51.920 I don't know if you've seen the one with...

01:01:55.020 Who's the dead comedian yelling at Biden to get out of the race?

01:02:01.720 Anyway, the memes are worth it.

01:02:04.940 I don't think there's anything funnier

01:02:07.420 than having a guy who's on the edge of death

01:02:09.780 and clearly has dementia

01:02:11.020 being the number one best person

01:02:13.440 that the Democrats could put in the job.

01:02:16.460 I mean, that's just funny.

01:02:18.260 And there's every day I laugh at it.

01:02:20.080 And every day I laugh at the Biden memes,

01:02:22.460 the Biden gaffes, the Biden mumbling.

01:02:24.860 I'm loving it.

01:02:26.280 I've never enjoyed any election like this one.

01:02:30.640 But what I love about it the most

01:02:32.820 is that...

01:02:34.720 And by the way,

01:02:35.400 I would not normally make fun of an elderly person with problems

01:02:38.600 except that he's a horrible racist criminal.

01:02:42.200 Yeah.

01:02:42.440 He's a horrible racist criminal

01:02:43.880 who's trying to pollute the country to hate me

01:02:46.620 and people who look like me.

01:02:48.700 So fuck him.

01:02:50.200 I believe he should be dead.

01:02:52.700 I'll love it when he dies.

01:02:55.000 Yeah.

01:02:55.380 I don't think I'd ever say that about any other president.

01:02:57.660 But I think Biden...

01:02:59.440 You know, I hope it's a natural death, of course.

01:03:02.440 I don't want any violence.

01:03:03.860 But I'll be happy when he dies.

01:03:07.360 I'll be totally happy about it.

01:03:09.060 Because he's a terrible, terrible person.

01:03:11.620 What he's done to our country is inexcusable.

01:03:14.920 Completely inexcusable.

01:03:16.120 And I don't think he deserves any respect whatsoever.

01:03:20.940 But I'm sure enjoying him being in the race.

01:03:23.180 And I love the fact that if he were to win in November,

01:03:27.800 you wouldn't have any doubt

01:03:29.580 about whether the election was rigged, would you?

01:03:31.560 That would end the entire conversation.

01:03:36.960 And I kind of want that to happen.

01:03:39.520 I kind of want it.

01:03:41.200 My perfect ending would be that the cheating is so obvious

01:03:46.980 that even the courts can't ignore it.

01:03:50.440 And even the courts are like,

01:03:51.620 oh, all right, yeah, that's kind of obvious.

01:03:55.300 Because what could be better than Trump losing the election

01:03:59.840 and having it reversed by the Supreme Court

01:04:03.360 and put people in jail on the other side?

01:04:07.160 That would be the ultimate.

01:04:10.160 So I kind of want that.

01:04:12.980 But, man, I'm enjoying the whole run.

01:04:15.080 So Democrats, I know zero of you ever see me

01:04:18.660 because even on X there's some kind of censoring going on.

01:04:22.100 I just don't know what.

01:04:26.780 Keep it up.

01:04:29.840 All right, did you know

01:04:32.280 that if somebody has extra campaign funds

01:04:35.560 and they don't need to spend them on their campaign,

01:04:39.820 let's say you're in a safe area,

01:04:41.740 that you could just spend it on yourself?

01:04:45.200 Apparently that's legal.

01:04:47.040 Did you all know that?

01:04:50.120 Yeah.

01:04:51.120 So there's Ryan Fournier's saying on X

01:04:54.140 that Eric Swalwell spent $22,000 of personal campaign funds

01:04:58.400 on Super Bowl tickets.

01:05:01.700 It's probably legal, isn't it?

01:05:05.380 It makes you not want to give anybody

01:05:07.180 any political contribution, that's for sure.

01:05:10.580 And then there's a report separately

01:05:12.180 that Letitia James

01:05:14.260 spent a lot of her campaign funds

01:05:18.740 on what looks like personal expenses.

01:05:23.060 Again, as far as I know, completely legal.

01:05:26.760 As far as I know, it's legal, right?

01:05:29.540 But it's what it looks like.

01:05:32.700 End Wokeness on X is posting

01:05:35.180 that there are thousands of unaccompanied minors

01:05:38.700 across the border who are now just completely missing.

01:05:41.100 Compare completely missing

01:05:44.800 to kids in cages,

01:05:47.260 which suddenly stopped mattering.

01:05:50.880 That whole AOC crying at the fence thing

01:05:54.000 was just an op.

01:05:56.800 And by the way,

01:05:58.060 does anybody think that AOC

01:05:59.640 is an organic politician?

01:06:04.640 Or do you think she's just a CIA?

01:06:06.600 I have no information

01:06:09.940 that would say she's CIA.

01:06:11.700 She just acts like it.

01:06:13.860 Because I believe

01:06:15.040 that they actually auditioned

01:06:16.560 to find somebody

01:06:17.560 who could pretend to be a politician.

01:06:19.460 And then she won the audition, right?

01:06:21.480 Do I have that correct?

01:06:23.780 And was the person

01:06:24.780 who was in charge of the auditioning,

01:06:26.440 did they have any connection

01:06:27.380 to the intelligence community?

01:06:29.480 I remember seeing the name.

01:06:30.440 Who was the person

01:06:31.080 who was in charge of that?

01:06:32.860 It was a familiar Democrat name.

01:06:36.600 Now, whoever did the auditioning

01:06:40.080 for the position that she got,

01:06:43.920 it wasn't Cenk, was it?

01:06:47.160 I heard it was somebody.

01:06:48.400 Really?

01:06:49.500 I thought it was somebody else.

01:06:51.520 All right, well, I'll look into that.

01:06:53.760 But you certainly,

01:06:54.920 if you're wondering if the news is fake,

01:06:57.160 all of that fake crying about the children

01:06:59.400 was just completely made up.

01:07:03.100 The children are way worse off now.

01:07:05.240 Not a peep.

01:07:07.960 Not a peep.

01:07:10.620 Well, can you believe this?

01:07:12.480 Judge Carney in Berkeley

01:07:14.820 threw out some prosecutions

01:07:18.280 of right-wing agitators

01:07:19.920 because they got in a fight

01:07:21.660 with some Antifa,

01:07:23.080 and the only people who got arrested

01:07:24.920 for a mutual fight

01:07:26.220 were the right-wing people.

01:07:28.400 Nobody in Antifa got arrested,

01:07:30.680 and they were both

01:07:32.000 in a voluntary fight with each other.

01:07:33.580 And the judge, Judge Carney,

01:07:38.480 just said,

01:07:39.220 seriously?

01:07:42.020 They were voluntarily fighting each other

01:07:44.420 at the same event,

01:07:46.060 and not a single Antifa person

01:07:48.100 was even arrested.

01:07:50.540 Only the right-wingers.

01:07:52.080 And so Judge Carney

01:07:54.300 threw it out.

01:07:57.820 Hello?

01:07:59.700 Yes.

01:08:01.100 Yes.

01:08:02.300 A little bit more of this, please.

01:08:04.700 Now, I don't have any information

01:08:05.940 whether this is a Democrat

01:08:07.300 or Republican judge,

01:08:09.500 but let me tell you,

01:08:11.560 if Judge Carney,

01:08:12.660 and I don't know the gender either,

01:08:14.520 but if Judge Carney is a Democrat,

01:08:17.980 good job.

01:08:19.180 I'd love to know that.

01:08:21.800 I'd love to know

01:08:22.380 that was a Democrat,

01:08:23.440 because if a Democrat judge

01:08:25.280 will throw this out

01:08:26.220 for that reason,

01:08:27.000 it's a good reason,

01:08:28.340 then my credibility

01:08:29.400 in the system

01:08:30.240 will be, you know,

01:08:31.100 a little bit better.

01:08:33.860 A little bit better.

01:08:35.700 So, anyway,

01:08:38.580 San Francisco's

01:08:40.280 planning some laws

01:08:42.780 to take care of some stuff.

01:08:43.900 So, one of the laws

01:08:45.660 is included in,

01:08:46.740 you know,

01:08:46.940 multiple laws

01:08:47.620 that they're considering

01:08:48.340 is something to work

01:08:50.780 on the fentanyl problem.

01:08:53.500 Now, watch me make a prediction.

01:08:57.180 San Francisco's doing something

01:08:58.880 about the fentanyl problem.

01:09:01.060 I predict

01:09:02.060 that it will not involve

01:09:05.040 stopping it.

01:09:08.840 Let's see what it involves.

01:09:10.560 Oh, better healthcare access.

01:09:11.820 Better healthcare access, yeah.

01:09:17.780 So, yeah,

01:09:19.700 that was predictable,

01:09:20.620 wasn't it?

01:09:21.620 So, if you believe

01:09:22.980 that the fentanyl business

01:09:24.880 is not controlled

01:09:26.000 by our intelligence agencies,

01:09:28.880 then you have to explain

01:09:30.360 to me why nothing

01:09:31.400 is done about it.

01:09:33.100 It's the only reason.

01:09:34.560 The only reason

01:09:35.800 that we're not,

01:09:36.580 you know,

01:09:37.060 militarily battling

01:09:38.360 the cartels

01:09:39.120 is because our intelligence

01:09:40.080 people must be working

01:09:41.820 with them.

01:09:43.440 Tell me there's

01:09:44.320 any other explanation.

01:09:46.780 I'd love to know

01:09:47.500 that's not true.

01:09:49.880 There's no other explanation.

01:09:51.880 It's pretty obvious.

01:09:53.660 And if it's not true,

01:09:55.040 I'd love to be wrong,

01:09:56.580 but it's my working assumption

01:09:58.020 at the moment

01:09:58.580 that it can't be stopped.

01:10:00.820 So, I also predict

01:10:02.700 that neither Vivek

01:10:03.800 nor Trump

01:10:04.460 will make any military move

01:10:06.380 against the cartels

01:10:07.300 because I think

01:10:08.920 they all get the same

01:10:10.000 story when they get

01:10:13.300 into power.

01:10:15.240 And it would explain

01:10:16.100 why, you know,

01:10:17.560 Trump hadn't done enough either.

01:10:20.240 Here's an interesting loophole

01:10:22.000 in the San Francisco law

01:10:23.240 that they're trying

01:10:23.860 to block.

01:10:26.400 Apparently,

01:10:27.340 if you steal a car,

01:10:29.620 you will not be prosecuted

01:10:31.420 if it can't be proven

01:10:34.120 that the car was locked

01:10:35.600 when you got into it.

01:10:38.720 Because if your car

01:10:39.700 was unlocked,

01:10:40.700 well, you were just asking

01:10:41.620 for a stolen car.

01:10:43.160 That's not like stealing it.

01:10:44.300 It's more like borrowing it

01:10:45.200 or something.

01:10:45.680 I don't know.

01:10:47.200 So, believe it or not,

01:10:48.820 if you couldn't prove

01:10:49.820 your car was locked,

01:10:51.300 you couldn't get a conviction

01:10:52.480 on the crook.

01:10:53.780 You know, I suppose

01:10:55.780 it would be different

01:10:56.240 if there was other evidence

01:10:57.220 like an eyewitness.

01:10:59.000 But, so one of the things

01:11:01.040 that the crooks could do

01:11:02.440 is they could break the window,

01:11:06.660 get in your car,

01:11:08.720 unlock it,

01:11:10.340 get caught,

01:11:11.600 and then when the police

01:11:13.440 see that the window

01:11:14.540 is broken,

01:11:16.020 you were still able to say,

01:11:17.420 yeah, but it was also unlocked.

01:11:20.880 Well, who broke the window?

01:11:22.260 I don't know.

01:11:23.780 I don't know.

01:11:24.220 Was there any witnesses?

01:11:26.640 No, there are no witnesses,

01:11:27.720 but you're here in a stolen car

01:11:28.860 with a broken window,

01:11:29.760 so it's obvious

01:11:30.300 you broke the window

01:11:31.200 to steal the car.

01:11:32.460 Yeah, but you know,

01:11:33.940 you know what you can't prove?

01:11:35.840 You can't prove

01:11:36.380 it was also unlocked.

01:11:39.120 Eh?

01:11:39.960 Eh?

01:11:41.460 So,

01:11:42.180 they quite wisely

01:11:43.680 think they should block,

01:11:44.920 they should maybe

01:11:45.620 end that little loophole.

01:11:47.240 They're also going after the,

01:11:51.180 so here's another problem.

01:11:53.700 There's too much looting

01:11:55.460 in the stores.

01:11:57.120 So finally,

01:11:58.140 San Francisco's gonna do something

01:11:59.660 about the looting

01:12:00.360 in the stores.

01:12:01.480 Aren't you glad?

01:12:03.180 Finally?

01:12:04.560 I mean,

01:12:04.840 it's one of the biggest problems

01:12:05.940 because the stores will leave

01:12:07.240 if there's too much looting.

01:12:08.080 But finally,

01:12:09.120 they're considering

01:12:09.760 a new bill

01:12:10.600 that would

01:12:12.440 go after the

01:12:13.820 marketplace

01:12:15.080 of people

01:12:15.860 who sell

01:12:16.500 the stolen stuff

01:12:17.780 and require them

01:12:19.400 to prove

01:12:19.860 they know

01:12:20.260 it's not stolen,

01:12:21.700 which is

01:12:23.200 sort of impossible

01:12:24.180 and sort of

01:12:25.840 is putting a burden

01:12:26.620 on the online people

01:12:27.780 who didn't steal anything.

01:12:30.040 Yeah?

01:12:30.600 The online people

01:12:31.580 didn't steal anything

01:12:32.400 from the store.

01:12:34.140 Wouldn't you think

01:12:34.920 that if you were gonna deal

01:12:36.280 with all the shoplifting,

01:12:38.340 you might wanna

01:12:39.340 change the laws

01:12:40.480 to make it,

01:12:41.160 I don't know,

01:12:42.180 a little bit more illegal

01:12:43.500 or allow them

01:12:45.020 to have armed guards

01:12:46.220 or something,

01:12:47.680 something along the lines

01:12:49.060 of stopping it

01:12:49.880 instead of making it

01:12:51.720 slightly harder to sell,

01:12:53.600 which we're told

01:12:54.820 isn't even real

01:12:55.700 because they usually

01:12:56.460 just sell it

01:12:57.440 on the street anyway.

01:12:58.640 So yeah,

01:13:01.340 San Francisco

01:13:01.840 is so bad

01:13:03.180 that you can predict

01:13:04.480 what they'll do

01:13:05.100 just by whatever

01:13:05.780 is the worst thing

01:13:06.440 you can do.

01:13:07.640 Cary Lake is up

01:13:08.460 in the polls

01:13:09.140 in the Senate race

01:13:10.300 there for Arizona,

01:13:11.540 whether it's a two-person

01:13:12.960 or a three-person lake.

01:13:14.780 Does anybody think

01:13:15.640 Cary Lake can actually win

01:13:16.920 no matter what

01:13:18.660 the polls say?

01:13:22.420 If you say yes,

01:13:23.640 you believe that

01:13:24.340 the election

01:13:24.840 will be not rigged?

01:13:26.180 To me,

01:13:28.540 it seems obvious

01:13:29.120 it would be rigged.

01:13:32.520 I don't know.

01:13:34.320 It won't be fair.

01:13:35.920 Yeah.

01:13:36.380 So I don't have

01:13:37.140 any evidence

01:13:37.780 that it is rigged

01:13:38.780 or was rigged

01:13:39.420 or will be rigged,

01:13:40.340 but it's my working

01:13:41.480 assumption that they will

01:13:42.460 because they presumably could.

01:13:46.960 Mark Andreessen

01:13:47.860 is one of the most

01:13:48.560 useful voices on AI

01:13:50.220 and the AI risks,

01:13:51.620 if you don't know him.

01:13:52.360 One of the most respected,

01:13:54.760 successful VCs

01:13:56.440 invented the browser.

01:13:59.780 I mean,

01:13:59.980 he's got a long history

01:14:01.020 of doing the right things

01:14:02.160 for a long time.

01:14:03.300 So smart guy,

01:14:04.060 you should listen to him.

01:14:06.420 And he's pointing out

01:14:07.920 that people are going

01:14:10.400 after the technology

01:14:11.940 for being too woke,

01:14:15.560 but you're making

01:14:16.920 a big mistake.

01:14:17.760 the technology

01:14:19.860 can't be fixed

01:14:20.980 because the problem

01:14:22.380 is the people.

01:14:24.100 The people have been trained

01:14:25.720 that what they did

01:14:26.660 with the AI

01:14:27.220 is the truth,

01:14:28.880 that all they did

01:14:29.620 is good things

01:14:30.280 and it's the same people.

01:14:31.980 So they might change

01:14:33.120 the names of things

01:14:34.020 and hide some things

01:14:34.980 and move some balls

01:14:36.020 and hide some things

01:14:37.460 under cups,

01:14:38.080 but it's the same people.

01:14:39.780 They're not going

01:14:40.520 to suddenly say

01:14:41.240 that everything they said

01:14:42.140 was the opposite.

01:14:44.560 So no,

01:14:45.500 you can't fix it.

01:14:46.420 So Andreessen's saying

01:14:48.040 it's unfixable.

01:14:49.760 So the only possibility

01:14:52.040 is an open AI

01:14:53.460 where everybody can see

01:14:55.160 how it was created

01:14:55.900 or Elon Musk's version.

01:14:59.660 So that's what Andreessen says.

01:15:01.740 And apparently he's

01:15:02.380 on the board of Meta

01:15:03.380 and Meta is,

01:15:05.180 he says,

01:15:06.400 promoting the open AI.

01:15:09.880 That feels smart to me.

01:15:12.940 That feels like a Zuckerberg

01:15:14.800 getting this one right

01:15:15.900 situation,

01:15:16.960 doesn't it?

01:15:17.980 Because if Meta says,

01:15:19.860 you know,

01:15:21.000 AI is a tool

01:15:22.180 and we just want to use it

01:15:24.360 like everybody else,

01:15:25.580 you want it to be open

01:15:26.980 because that's the best tool.

01:15:30.280 And I think that AI

01:15:31.860 just needs to be baked

01:15:32.820 into everything we do

01:15:33.860 if it's done right.

01:15:35.260 So that by far

01:15:36.900 is the better social outcome,

01:15:38.720 an open AI

01:15:39.400 where everybody can see

01:15:40.340 how it got trained.

01:15:44.600 All right.

01:15:46.020 Tucker Carlson,

01:15:47.140 before he talked to Putin,

01:15:50.380 he said that his own

01:15:51.560 legal counsel,

01:15:52.520 at least American legal counsel,

01:15:54.520 counseled him

01:15:55.360 that he could get arrested

01:15:56.960 in America,

01:15:59.540 not in Russia.

01:16:01.500 He could get arrested

01:16:02.740 in America

01:16:03.740 if he asked

01:16:04.860 the wrong questions.

01:16:06.140 Now,

01:16:08.620 apparently the wrong question

01:16:10.140 would be anything

01:16:11.420 that made Putin look good

01:16:13.100 relative to the war

01:16:15.500 in Ukraine especially.

01:16:18.000 Now,

01:16:18.580 apparently it didn't happen

01:16:19.620 and he didn't get arrested.

01:16:21.480 But what do you make

01:16:22.340 of legal counsel

01:16:23.760 advising Tucker

01:16:25.500 definitely don't go to Russia

01:16:27.160 because if you ask

01:16:28.360 the wrong question,

01:16:29.160 you'll be arrested

01:16:30.120 for being a treason

01:16:32.480 or something.

01:16:33.960 Now,

01:16:34.340 Tucker basically said,

01:16:35.540 go to hell

01:16:37.780 and just went to Russia.

01:16:39.760 Now,

01:16:40.000 that was the right choice,

01:16:41.200 I think.

01:16:42.220 But do you think

01:16:43.220 that the legal counsel

01:16:44.360 was doing a good job

01:16:45.900 or a bad job?

01:16:49.340 I would say

01:16:50.360 that

01:16:50.840 probably

01:16:52.740 most legal counsels

01:16:54.360 would have said

01:16:54.920 the same thing.

01:16:56.260 Do you know why?

01:16:58.700 Most legal counsels

01:17:00.360 probably would have

01:17:01.260 said the same thing

01:17:02.140 because the legal counsel

01:17:04.360 is only in the job

01:17:06.060 of keeping you

01:17:06.860 out of legal risk.

01:17:09.140 That's it.

01:17:11.360 Nobody asked

01:17:12.320 the legal counsel,

01:17:13.260 hey, legal counsel,

01:17:14.500 how can I make

01:17:15.540 the most money

01:17:16.500 in a way

01:17:18.160 that the risk-reward

01:17:19.540 is well-balanced?

01:17:20.440 Now,

01:17:22.020 that's what Tucker decided.

01:17:23.900 Tucker decided

01:17:24.720 the information

01:17:25.380 is good for the world,

01:17:27.120 probably good for his brand,

01:17:29.300 it's worth the risk.

01:17:31.780 But the law firm

01:17:32.980 isn't in that job.

01:17:34.200 Their job is to tell you

01:17:35.320 there's a risk,

01:17:36.200 and if there's a risk

01:17:37.280 that doesn't exist here,

01:17:39.700 but it's only a risk

01:17:41.460 if you go over there

01:17:42.320 and ask those questions,

01:17:44.340 it's pretty reasonable

01:17:45.620 legal advice

01:17:46.540 to don't do that thing

01:17:47.720 that puts you

01:17:48.280 at great risk.

01:17:50.260 Now, keep in mind

01:17:50.960 there's also

01:17:51.420 an expected value calculation.

01:17:54.860 The risk of a parking ticket

01:17:56.660 is not the same

01:17:58.140 as the risk

01:17:58.620 of your own government

01:17:59.620 putting you in jail

01:18:00.340 for treason.

01:18:01.720 Very different.

01:18:02.940 So I agree

01:18:03.900 with the legal counsel

01:18:05.940 saying don't do it.

01:18:07.940 Don't do it.

01:18:08.480 Very strongly said

01:18:09.380 don't do this.

01:18:10.520 It's a risk.

01:18:11.060 Because their context

01:18:12.640 is risk or no risk.

01:18:15.680 But of course,

01:18:16.620 the real world

01:18:17.640 has a lot more variables,

01:18:19.140 and that's why

01:18:19.640 you make the decision

01:18:20.520 and you don't let

01:18:21.640 your lawyers

01:18:22.140 make the decision.

01:18:23.560 How many of you

01:18:24.160 have ever overruled

01:18:25.420 your own lawyers

01:18:26.360 on a business decision?

01:18:29.580 I have.

01:18:30.860 Yeah.

01:18:31.340 Routinely.

01:18:32.520 Normal.

01:18:33.620 It's a very normal.

01:18:34.840 Normal procedure.

01:18:37.740 And it's always

01:18:38.380 the same reason,

01:18:39.080 because their sense of risk

01:18:40.600 is going through

01:18:42.380 the legal filter

01:18:43.220 and yours is not.

01:18:45.820 One of the things

01:18:46.640 that Tucker said

01:18:48.400 is that Putin

01:18:49.020 seemed visibly nervous.

01:18:52.120 Isn't that interesting?

01:18:53.700 He said,

01:18:54.520 Tucker himself said

01:18:55.680 he was never afraid

01:18:56.500 for his life

01:18:57.100 and he didn't look

01:18:57.760 nervous to me.

01:18:58.980 I mean,

01:18:59.260 maybe he was,

01:18:59.900 but he said he wasn't.

01:19:02.040 But he said Putin was.

01:19:04.000 Now,

01:19:04.440 I completely understand that

01:19:05.920 because you're saying

01:19:06.880 to yourself,

01:19:07.360 oh,

01:19:07.480 he's the leader

01:19:07.960 of the country.

01:19:08.500 Why would he be nervous

01:19:09.840 talking to one guy?

01:19:12.180 But I think that Putin

01:19:13.560 completely understands

01:19:15.220 that whatever

01:19:17.540 Tucker told you

01:19:18.800 was true

01:19:19.440 was going to be true

01:19:21.840 to 30% of the country.

01:19:24.020 And Putin really

01:19:25.600 needs America

01:19:26.380 to see things his way

01:19:28.240 for him to stay alive

01:19:29.400 and for Russia

01:19:30.080 to do well.

01:19:31.480 So,

01:19:32.240 the funny thing about it

01:19:33.980 is that Putin

01:19:34.700 was under

01:19:35.260 way more danger

01:19:36.860 than Tucker

01:19:38.480 was.

01:19:39.580 It wasn't even

01:19:40.220 close.

01:19:41.900 Yeah,

01:19:42.280 if Putin had said

01:19:43.380 the wrong thing

01:19:44.280 or even if Tucker

01:19:45.980 had decided to

01:19:46.720 twist it

01:19:47.360 from the right thing

01:19:48.060 into a wrong thing

01:19:48.880 and sell it,

01:19:49.840 he doesn't do that.

01:19:50.960 But if he had decided to,

01:19:52.160 that would be terrible

01:19:53.200 for Putin.

01:19:54.100 It could cost him

01:19:54.980 the war,

01:19:55.540 it could cost him

01:19:56.120 his life,

01:19:57.100 his legacy.

01:19:57.760 I mean,

01:19:58.200 there were really

01:19:59.960 big stakes

01:20:00.960 for Putin.

01:20:03.980 I'm not sure

01:20:04.840 that the stakes

01:20:06.520 were as high

01:20:07.240 for Tucker

01:20:07.840 because I don't think

01:20:10.880 there was a big risk

01:20:11.620 of him being arrested.

01:20:13.440 The country would have

01:20:14.220 just gone crazy

01:20:15.280 if that happened.

01:20:18.560 So,

01:20:19.200 it makes sense

01:20:20.180 that Putin

01:20:20.540 was actually nervous

01:20:21.400 because the media

01:20:22.440 actually is more

01:20:24.380 powerful

01:20:25.140 than even Putin.

01:20:26.260 and clearly

01:20:28.280 he seems to have

01:20:29.140 understood that.

01:20:31.960 All right.

01:20:33.360 Biden was

01:20:34.160 chomping on

01:20:34.940 some ice cream

01:20:35.540 the other day

01:20:36.040 and said that

01:20:36.740 he hoped to get

01:20:37.300 a ceasefire

01:20:38.020 with Hamas

01:20:38.720 for a temporary

01:20:41.740 ceasefire

01:20:42.320 to exchange

01:20:43.080 some prisoners

01:20:43.760 and I don't know

01:20:45.020 about you

01:20:45.460 but when he said

01:20:47.400 that as he was

01:20:48.540 eating his ice cream

01:20:49.460 cone,

01:20:49.920 I said to myself,

01:20:51.040 that's not going

01:20:52.080 to happen.

01:20:53.720 Why does he think

01:20:54.620 that's going to happen?

01:20:56.260 And of course,

01:20:57.620 you know,

01:20:57.900 Hamas rejected

01:20:59.180 it completely

01:20:59.840 and,

01:21:01.080 you know,

01:21:01.520 probably Israel

01:21:02.640 would have rejected

01:21:03.360 it completely

01:21:03.920 and it looks like

01:21:04.780 it's already rejected.

01:21:07.160 Another hoax

01:21:08.160 that Biden

01:21:09.500 is pushing

01:21:10.520 is that

01:21:11.160 Trump couldn't

01:21:12.720 remember his own

01:21:13.540 wife's name

01:21:14.240 but I think

01:21:15.520 that was from

01:21:16.100 a,

01:21:16.460 just a fake news story

01:21:17.600 where he was actually

01:21:18.440 talking about

01:21:19.060 somebody else

01:21:19.700 he wasn't talking

01:21:20.260 about his wife.

01:21:21.240 He was talking

01:21:21.660 about Mercedes Schlapp

01:21:22.820 and then

01:21:23.900 the news said

01:21:24.940 oh,

01:21:25.200 he doesn't know

01:21:25.660 who his own wife is

01:21:26.460 or some damn thing.

01:21:28.200 Fake news.

01:21:33.640 So,

01:21:34.680 again,

01:21:35.340 Mike Benz

01:21:35.920 has got some good,

01:21:36.860 good,

01:21:38.900 takeaway

01:21:40.240 and analysis

01:21:41.040 on the New York Times

01:21:42.040 story

01:21:42.460 that apparently

01:21:43.660 has,

01:21:44.380 the New York Times

01:21:44.960 tells us

01:21:45.540 that there were

01:21:46.660 12 CIA bases

01:21:48.580 in Ukraine

01:21:49.960 and have been there

01:21:50.820 for years

01:21:51.540 even before the war

01:21:52.660 and that they're

01:21:54.320 there for

01:21:55.200 essentially

01:21:56.020 to spy on

01:21:58.100 Russia

01:21:58.700 and also

01:21:59.520 to select

01:22:00.680 targets

01:22:01.460 for military

01:22:03.120 action

01:22:03.720 in Russia

01:22:05.080 and again,

01:22:07.380 not just

01:22:08.120 for the Ukraine war

01:22:09.100 but this has been

01:22:10.340 in action

01:22:10.780 for a long time.

01:22:14.060 Was,

01:22:14.840 was Putin justified

01:22:16.220 in attacking Ukraine

01:22:18.400 if you knew

01:22:20.140 that the CIA

01:22:20.880 had 12 bases

01:22:21.980 with offensive

01:22:23.920 purposes

01:22:24.820 on Russia's border?

01:22:27.360 I'm going to go,

01:22:28.180 I'm going to have to go

01:22:28.920 full pro-Russia.

01:22:30.540 Sorry.

01:22:32.520 Assuming the New York Times

01:22:33.780 reporting is true,

01:22:35.240 if we put 12 CIA bases

01:22:37.940 on the border of Russia,

01:22:39.520 which we would never

01:22:40.680 put up with

01:22:41.320 if they did that to us,

01:22:43.020 their invasion

01:22:43.740 of Ukraine

01:22:44.480 is absolutely justified

01:22:45.920 and I don't care

01:22:46.760 about anything else.

01:22:49.060 Everything else

01:22:49.800 you want to say,

01:22:50.440 I don't care.

01:22:51.900 If this one fact

01:22:53.260 is true,

01:22:55.120 we're the bad guys.

01:22:59.440 Sorry.

01:23:01.040 If it's true,

01:23:02.080 and this is the New York Times,

01:23:04.000 if it's true,

01:23:05.580 we're the bad guys.

01:23:08.020 I don't,

01:23:08.640 I don't have any other

01:23:09.400 way to imagine that.

01:23:11.140 Now,

01:23:11.620 I'm not saying

01:23:12.180 Putin's good.

01:23:14.300 You know,

01:23:14.560 that's how it'll get spun.

01:23:15.940 They'll take that

01:23:16.520 out of context

01:23:17.140 and say,

01:23:17.540 he loves Putin.

01:23:18.520 No.

01:23:19.420 No,

01:23:19.680 I think all dictators

01:23:20.480 are probably murderous,

01:23:22.000 you know,

01:23:22.520 sometimes.

01:23:25.320 I think it does show

01:23:26.640 that we probably

01:23:27.820 could have worked

01:23:28.520 with him productively,

01:23:29.880 but that's a naive

01:23:31.160 thing to say too.

01:23:32.920 It's naive for me

01:23:34.080 to say,

01:23:34.480 you know,

01:23:34.800 if we just made peace,

01:23:36.360 Putin would love it,

01:23:37.140 we'd all be friends.

01:23:38.880 But I do think

01:23:39.800 you could do something

01:23:40.520 comprehensive over time.

01:23:41.900 I don't think

01:23:42.980 any one deal

01:23:43.820 is going to,

01:23:44.560 you know,

01:23:45.100 necessarily go well.

01:23:46.360 But if we made it

01:23:47.300 a long-term point

01:23:49.240 to bring Russia

01:23:50.900 closer to the

01:23:52.080 western orbit

01:23:52.840 and not as an enemy,

01:23:54.960 I'm pretty sure

01:23:56.440 we could do that.

01:23:58.160 But if we're putting

01:23:59.280 12 CIA bases

01:24:01.180 with offensive

01:24:02.200 intentions,

01:24:03.680 as well as defensive,

01:24:05.060 on their border,

01:24:06.680 yeah,

01:24:07.360 they're going to attack.

01:24:08.540 yeah,

01:24:11.480 yeah.

01:24:12.040 And that's not

01:24:12.600 the only thing.

01:24:13.680 I mean,

01:24:13.920 everything about,

01:24:15.200 you know,

01:24:15.420 the CIA coup

01:24:16.500 and taking over

01:24:17.380 the country

01:24:18.460 that had been,

01:24:19.500 you know,

01:24:20.160 their cousins

01:24:20.940 and brothers

01:24:21.600 for,

01:24:22.020 you know,

01:24:22.540 a long time,

01:24:24.120 it just looks like

01:24:25.320 we're the bad guys.

01:24:27.420 I'm having trouble

01:24:28.440 seeing the argument

01:24:29.320 that this pushed

01:24:30.860 our national interests

01:24:31.920 forward.

01:24:32.900 It looks like

01:24:33.660 it was exactly

01:24:34.860 what the critics say.

01:24:35.920 It looks like

01:24:36.340 it was a corrupt

01:24:38.020 from top to bottom

01:24:39.040 and it looks like

01:24:40.060 it was about money

01:24:40.940 and maybe nothing else.

01:24:44.440 Maybe nothing

01:24:45.060 but money.

01:24:48.420 And as Mike Benz

01:24:49.620 points out

01:24:50.200 that it wasn't

01:24:51.120 a scoop

01:24:51.820 by the New York Times

01:24:52.960 but rather

01:24:53.880 since the New York Times

01:24:55.500 did some of their interviews

01:24:56.520 in the facilities,

01:24:58.560 at least one of the facilities

01:24:59.680 that were actually

01:25:00.160 there in person,

01:25:01.400 that could only happen

01:25:02.580 if they were invited

01:25:03.280 because

01:25:04.300 it's a CIA base.

01:25:06.420 you don't just

01:25:08.240 wander in

01:25:08.940 and start asking questions.

01:25:10.700 So yeah,

01:25:11.400 the New York Times

01:25:11.980 was invited.

01:25:13.340 Why would they invite

01:25:14.540 the New York Times

01:25:16.000 in

01:25:16.320 for a story

01:25:17.720 that by any measure

01:25:19.120 would be super embarrassing

01:25:20.440 and damning

01:25:21.260 of the CIA?

01:25:23.020 Why would the CIA

01:25:24.160 invite the New York Times

01:25:26.920 to do a story

01:25:28.660 that would be

01:25:29.200 very damning

01:25:29.940 to the CIA?

01:25:30.700 Well,

01:25:33.220 one assumes

01:25:34.820 that they're priming you

01:25:36.240 so you don't find out

01:25:37.260 some other way.

01:25:39.180 It's a common process

01:25:41.340 that if you know

01:25:42.180 bad news

01:25:42.760 is going to come out

01:25:43.660 that you release it yourself

01:25:45.560 so that the first impression

01:25:47.460 of it

01:25:47.820 is managed

01:25:48.520 as much as possible.

01:25:49.920 Still bad

01:25:50.680 but you've managed

01:25:52.060 the narrative

01:25:52.580 as much as possible.

01:25:53.760 You get that sticky narrative

01:25:54.900 in there

01:25:55.360 and then future things

01:25:56.980 like corrections

01:25:57.620 don't have as much effect

01:25:58.820 because you've got

01:25:59.520 a nice sticky narrative.

01:26:01.580 So

01:26:01.940 maybe that's what's happening.

01:26:08.260 I would certainly

01:26:09.020 be looking for that

01:26:09.940 to be the reason for it.

01:26:14.760 Anyway,

01:26:17.800 were there any stories

01:26:18.580 I missed today?

01:26:22.500 Did I miss anything?

01:26:24.060 All right,

01:26:24.560 I'm going to say goodbye

01:26:25.360 to the racist platform

01:26:27.020 of YouTube

01:26:27.600 and the good people

01:26:29.140 on Rumble

01:26:29.920 and the awesome people

01:26:31.320 on X.

01:26:32.260 You should stay away

01:26:33.140 from those people

01:26:33.720 who use YouTube

01:26:34.380 like me

01:26:34.980 because it's a racist platform.

01:26:39.020 I don't have good feelings

01:26:40.320 about my monetization today

01:26:41.980 but we'll see.

01:26:45.200 I guess we'll find out.

01:26:47.040 We'll find out the hard way.
