Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2402 CWSA 03⧸03⧸24

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

00:00:02.000 Ramp-bom-bom-bom-bom.

00:00:04.000 Bum-bom-bom-bom-bom.

00:00:06.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:12.000 If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that can only be described as galactic,

00:00:19.000 well then, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:26.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:29.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:33.000 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:35.000 It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go.

00:00:41.000 Oh. Hmm. Surprisingly good.

00:00:47.000 How often does a surprise turn out to be better than you thought?

00:00:51.000 Have you ever noticed that?

00:00:54.000 That you don't often get surprised with something that's better than you thought?

00:00:58.000 It's about a three to one ratio.

00:01:00.000 Oh, that's a surprise.

00:01:02.000 Three to one.

00:01:04.000 I don't know why.

00:01:05.000 All right.

00:01:06.000 Here's something I don't think I've said too often.

00:01:10.000 Maybe never.

00:01:11.000 If you don't subscribe to the Dilbert comic, which you can now only get by subscription on the X platform or on locals at Scott Adams dot locals, where you get lots of other stuff as well.

00:01:24.000 You would miss today's Sunday comic, and I'm just going to tell you two things about it.

00:01:35.000 In the first panel, Dilbert tells his boss he wants to transition.

00:01:39.000 That's the first thing I'm going to tell you about it.

00:01:43.000 Second thing I'm going to tell you about it is, it might be the funniest thing I've ever read.

00:01:48.000 It might be.

00:01:50.000 Now, you can judge for yourself, but it might be the funniest thing I've ever read.

00:01:55.000 So, look at the comments if you don't believe me.

00:01:58.000 They're saying it right now.

00:01:59.000 I saw a post on X saying that CNN was considering canning Anderson Cooper and Chris Wallace.

00:02:09.000 Is that true?

00:02:11.000 Can I get a fact check on that?

00:02:13.000 Since when do they tell you who they're considering firing?

00:02:18.000 That doesn't sound true to me.

00:02:20.000 Does it?

00:02:22.000 Who has that conversation?

00:02:24.000 You know, we're really thinking hard about getting rid of our top host.

00:02:30.000 I don't know.

00:02:32.000 I've got to put a big question mark next to that one.

00:02:35.000 Yeah.

00:02:37.000 I'm going to say I don't believe it yet.

00:02:40.000 If you want to see something that's really funny, I just reposted it.

00:02:45.000 It's a compilation of Morning Joe talking about Trump in 2016 when they liked him.

00:02:52.000 And then it's a quick cut to 2024 when they don't like him.

00:02:59.000 Oh, you have to see it.

00:03:01.000 I don't think there's anything that's ever been on TV that's as entertaining as watching Morning Joe being normal and nice.

00:03:09.000 And then the flipping, watching him, you know, deep TDS.

00:03:13.000 I can't even explain it.

00:03:16.000 You just have to see it yourself.

00:03:18.000 All right.

00:03:20.000 SNL was mocking Joe Biden for his lack of vigor.

00:03:24.000 The funniest, the funniest line was one of the characters said he had grandpa monkey grip.

00:03:32.000 Grandpa monkey grip.

00:03:34.000 And he can jump over walls and he's so much full of vigor.

00:03:44.000 So what does it tell you when CNN, SNL, I just combined CNN and SNL.

00:03:52.000 But what does it tell you when SNL is openly mocking one of the candidates and happens to be a Democrat?

00:04:00.000 They're very done with him.

00:04:02.000 I feel like they're very done with him.

00:04:05.000 And at least SNL has the self-awareness to know, even if they prefer him as president.

00:04:12.000 You know, they know physically and mentally he's kind of gone.

00:04:17.000 So that's, I give them credit for being honest about that because they didn't have to be.

00:04:22.000 You know, we're in this weird world where if they just ignored that one president can barely function, they could have gotten away with it.

00:04:31.000 It probably wouldn't have made any difference to their numbers.

00:04:34.000 But they played it straight.

00:04:35.000 And I appreciate that.

00:04:36.000 There's a video of Sergi Brin, one of the founders of Google, talking about the new problems they have with their racist AI that shows everybody looking black no matter what they were.

00:04:51.000 And Sergi said, yeah, we messed up on image generation.

00:04:56.000 And he thought that the reason that maybe they messed up was, wait for it, not enough testing.

00:05:04.000 Not enough testing.

00:05:08.000 Now, you know, I'm no entrepreneur who created the biggest company, most impressive company.

00:05:18.000 I don't know if it's the biggest, but most impressive company in the world.

00:05:22.000 But, Sergi, I don't think it was a testing problem.

00:05:30.000 I think it tested just the way they built it.

00:05:32.000 That's why they rolled it out.

00:05:35.000 That's what I think.

00:05:36.000 And you know what else?

00:05:38.000 It's not an image problem.

00:05:40.000 It's the whole damn thing.

00:05:42.000 It's not an image problem.

00:05:45.000 You want to find out if it's an image problem or if it's just broken?

00:05:49.000 Try to Google this.

00:05:53.000 Crime by demographic.

00:05:56.000 Do it.

00:05:59.000 Just Google crime by demographic group.

00:06:04.000 Do you know what comes up?

00:06:06.000 Lots of stories about how black people are the biggest victims of crime.

00:06:10.000 So, is that because they didn't test it enough?

00:06:16.000 Because, you know, some people, when they do that search, sometimes they're looking for who's the biggest victims of crime.

00:06:22.000 So that's totally appropriate.

00:06:24.000 But other times they're trying to figure out who's committing the crimes.

00:06:28.000 Such as, you know, are migrants doing more crimes?

00:06:31.000 Are immigrants doing more crimes?

00:06:33.000 Is there any difference, you know, that we can identify?

00:06:36.000 And I'm not saying there's a reason for it, because that gets into a racist territory.

00:06:41.000 But certainly you should understand it.

00:06:44.000 And the demographic nature of it is part of understanding it, even if, you know, the reasons that you give to the underlying problem should be, you know, probably deeper than the ones we give it.

00:06:57.000 Yeah, no, there's, the, Google is completely broken and has nothing to do with testing.

00:07:05.000 You know, the way I interpret that is, if we tested it better, we could have gotten away with it.

00:07:11.000 And what I mean by gotten away with it is making it anti-white.

00:07:15.000 It was just a little bit too anti-white, so they didn't get away with it.

00:07:20.000 That's really all there was.

00:07:21.000 If they'd made it as subtle, like the search results I just mentioned, if you weren't looking for that search result, you wouldn't know that it's completely illegitimate, basically.

00:07:34.000 You wouldn't know that.

00:07:36.000 But if you do any kind of searching on anything that's a little bit interesting, you immediately find out the whole thing's broken.

00:07:44.000 It doesn't give you anything like, anything like interesting, whatever you're looking for.

00:07:48.000 It doesn't trust you.

00:07:50.000 Anyway.

00:07:52.000 No, it's not a problem with testing.

00:07:55.000 But it does suggest that maybe they don't know how to fix it.

00:07:59.000 There might be no way to fix it.

00:08:01.000 You know, some have suggested they have to fire 80% of their staff.

00:08:05.000 And that's not going to happen.

00:08:08.000 So no, it looks unfixable, interestingly enough.

00:08:11.000 Now, here's a real question.

00:08:12.000 Is it possible that AI could ever replace Google as a search engine?

00:08:22.000 Because doesn't AI just sort of use Google?

00:08:25.000 I mean, you still need the basic search engine, and AI just sits on top of it, right?

00:08:30.000 So I don't think that AI can replace it.

00:08:33.000 And does anybody have any data that's not corrupted that way?

00:08:40.000 I don't know.

00:08:42.000 So I don't know.

00:08:44.000 I suppose that Google will continue being the brain of the world.

00:08:48.000 Now, you're completely aware that if Google decides that the president should be X or Y, they get to decide, right?

00:08:54.000 In our current system, whoever Google decides to make president, they can just change the algorithm and make them president.

00:09:04.000 Did you know that?

00:09:06.000 Now, it might not work in this specific case because Biden is just disintegrating in front of us.

00:09:13.000 That might be the special case.

00:09:14.000 But if the election was supposed to be close, then Google decides or mail-in ballots decide.

00:09:25.000 The only thing that doesn't decide for sure is the voters.

00:09:30.000 I think the only purpose for voting is to create the illusion that it was close so that whatever the bad guys do to rig it, it won't be so obvious it was rigged.

00:09:41.000 So I think the only purpose of voting at the moment is to hide the rigging.

00:09:47.000 Would you agree?

00:09:49.000 Well, let's see what Tucker says.

00:09:52.000 Wall Street Apes had this post.

00:09:54.000 So Tucker was talking about the CIA controlling elections.

00:09:58.000 And I'm just going to read his whole four-paragraph thing.

00:10:01.000 And I want to see if this matches where you are.

00:10:05.000 Is this where you are in understanding your world?

00:10:07.000 So Tucker says, the fact that the CIA is playing in domestic politics, and actually has for a long time, is shocking.

00:10:17.000 You can't have that.

00:10:19.000 The reason I'm so mad is I really believe in the idea of representative government, acknowledging its imperfections.

00:10:25.000 But, like, I should have some say.

00:10:28.000 I live here.

00:10:29.000 I'm a citizen.

00:10:31.000 The fact that they would be tampering with American democracy is so outrageous to me.

00:10:36.000 And I don't know, why is only Glenn Greenwald mad about it?

00:10:40.000 Now, that's what I say.

00:10:41.000 Why do I read every day?

00:10:45.000 Glenn Greenwald making claims about, you know, the elections and not the elections, but just the government being a sort of an intelligence asset, basically.

00:10:56.000 And nobody really fact checks them.

00:10:58.000 Have you noticed that?

00:11:00.000 Nobody fact checks them.

00:11:02.000 Because it's true.

00:11:03.000 There's nothing to fact check.

00:11:05.000 And he can do it all day long, and we just act like it's just somebody talking, instead of the most important thing happening in the world.

00:11:13.000 Yeah, the Glenn who.

00:11:16.000 I'll talk about the octopus in a second.

00:11:19.000 Then he says, blah, blah, blah, about Glenn Greenwald's claims about the CIA.

00:11:26.000 Tucker says, I mean, it's confirmed.

00:11:29.000 It's not like a fever dream.

00:11:30.000 That's what I keep saying.

00:11:31.000 We know it's true.

00:11:33.000 And he goes, it's real.

00:11:35.000 They played in the last election domestically.

00:11:37.000 And I guess it shows how dumb I am, because they've been doing that for many years.

00:11:42.000 The guy who took out most a day lived on my street.

00:11:47.000 I'm one of the results.

00:11:50.000 CIA officer.

00:11:51.000 What?

00:11:52.000 I don't know what that means.

00:11:54.000 So, I mean, again, I grew up around this stuff, but I never really thought I'd never, I never reached the obvious conclusion,

00:12:00.000 which is that, wait for it, here comes the obvious conclusion, and see if this sounds familiar to you.

00:12:08.000 The obvious conclusion, which is that if the U.S. government subverts democracy in other countries in the name of democracy,

00:12:16.000 it will over time subvert democracy in my country.

00:12:19.000 Why wouldn't it?

00:12:22.000 Does that sound familiar?

00:12:25.000 That's what I've been saying for a while now.

00:12:28.000 If you create an entity who become really good at overthrowing countries, and they do it 80 times in a row successfully,

00:12:37.000 I don't know how many in a row, but 80 times successfully, they're going to overthrow your country.

00:12:42.000 Because they can't.

00:12:45.000 And they will come up with a justification because they can't.

00:12:50.000 They came up with justifications for all the other countries.

00:12:53.000 You know, they don't do it without some kind of cover story.

00:12:56.000 So all they need is a cover story.

00:12:58.000 That's the easiest thing in the world.

00:12:59.000 Oh, the other one's a dictator.

00:13:01.000 Better overthrow the country.

00:13:03.000 Save democracy.

00:13:04.000 Yeah.

00:13:05.000 So, I remember, do you remember when you first realized that we didn't live in a republic?

00:13:16.000 And maybe we hadn't for a long time.

00:13:19.000 How many of you remember like the moment you said,

00:13:22.000 Oh, this was never even real.

00:13:26.000 In my lifetime, I don't know if it was ever real.

00:13:28.000 Maybe when I was two.

00:13:31.000 Maybe.

00:13:32.000 Maybe during Eisenhower.

00:13:34.000 Maybe.

00:13:35.000 I don't know.

00:13:38.000 But I don't feel that I live in anything like a republic or a democratic republic.

00:13:44.000 How many of you feel like you're living in a republic?

00:13:47.000 Like it's actually the will of the people and, you know, it's imperfect, but it's basically good.

00:13:53.000 Yeah.

00:13:55.000 Now, I wonder if any Republicans feel they're living in a republic anymore.

00:14:03.000 I don't know.

00:14:05.000 Yeah.

00:14:06.000 It's weird that that could change.

00:14:08.000 Well, I watched, started to watch, you haven't finished yet, the Netflix series,

00:14:13.000 a new series called The Octopus Murders.

00:14:15.000 And I can't, I can't entirely summarize it for you because it's so complicated.

00:14:20.000 There are a lot of names involved, but that's part of the story.

00:14:24.000 The octopus is all the names involved.

00:14:27.000 So the basic idea is that there was some guy that they think was CIA connected who was doing all these ops around the world.

00:14:37.000 And one of them was he sort of took over an Indian reservation and then he used it for illegal, selling illegal drugs and gambling to make some illegal money.

00:14:49.000 And then started inviting in the U.S., I guess some arms dealers.

00:14:55.000 They were working with the CIA so they could do illegal arms stuff to get, I don't know, they were going to give the arms to the Contras or something.

00:15:02.000 So they used the Indian reservation, because it's not America, per se, to do illegal things that you couldn't do or you wouldn't want to get caught if he did it somewhere else.

00:15:13.000 What's that sound like?

00:15:15.000 That's Ukraine.

00:15:17.000 It's just creating a place where the CIA can operate with impunity to do all the dirty stuff they need to do, and it's not in the United States.

00:15:27.000 And so they're alleged that there are many murders that are associated with the CIA, and they're a murderous bunch of drug dealing people.

00:15:39.000 But here are the things which, if this stuff is true, of course, who knows?

00:15:45.000 I believe there was a suggestion that they wanted to use the Indian reservation for a bioweapons lab.

00:15:53.000 Did I hear that right?

00:15:57.000 I was sort of half falling asleep.

00:15:59.000 So they were going to use, does this sound familiar?

00:16:02.000 It's basically the Ukraine play, and then you can see that they've already tested it.

00:16:06.000 So it must be common operation to find the most lawless place, partner with the most dangerous people, sell drugs to make dirty money that you can use for whatever you're doing.

00:16:22.000 It's all there.

00:16:26.000 So basically, everything you assumed about the CIA, everything you ever assumed about Ukraine, it's all there modeled as not just, I'm not going to say that they practice there to do it in Ukraine.

00:16:39.000 What I'm saying is it must be part of the toolbox of the trade to do exactly what Ukraine is so it doesn't surprise you at all.

00:16:51.000 It's all there.

00:16:52.000 All right, so when you see that the cartels seem to have freedom to bring drugs into this country, and you say to yourself, I'm sure we could have done more to stop it, it's because we're not stopping it.

00:17:09.360 You know, I don't believe that the Border Patrol is working with the CIA to let drugs in the country.

00:17:17.640 That's not happening.

00:17:18.900 There's no evidence of that.

00:17:20.300 I think the Border Patrol is trying to stop it and wondering why they don't have the right tools and why nobody's helping them.

00:17:28.040 That's because somebody's probably making money on it.

00:17:32.320 So, you got that.

00:17:35.280 Another story, the University of Florida terminated all of its DEI people, and now that's going to be illegal.

00:17:45.400 It is illegal in Florida to teach DEI in their schools.

00:17:49.840 Now, that still leaves the corporations, so it's not like a gigantic win, but at least you got it out of the corporations, or you got it out of the schools.

00:17:59.100 Now, here's my question.

00:18:00.680 Imagine if you had taken up a job, a cubicle job, to be a DEI professional, and then you hear that Florida decided that you, you, the person in that job, is too dangerous to even be allowed to operate in the state schools, because that's what happened.

00:18:26.760 They didn't say, let's get rid of DEI because it's not giving us benefit for the money.

00:18:33.340 They didn't say that.

00:18:35.140 They said it's dangerous, that it makes things worse.

00:18:40.320 Imagine that's your job.

00:18:42.780 Your job is DEI, and you just found out one of our biggest states had a vote and decided it's just really bad for the state.

00:18:52.200 We've got to get admitted illegal.

00:18:53.500 How many other things are illegal that basically are talking and teaching?

00:19:00.360 You know, DEI is a lot of talking and teaching.

00:19:04.080 It's kind of amazing.

00:19:05.760 And I was trying to think, what other jobs are illegal in some states but not others?

00:19:12.960 And I thought it, too.

00:19:14.540 So you couldn't be an abortion doctor where abortion's illegal, right, abortionist.

00:19:20.060 And you couldn't have a weed dispensary.

00:19:24.920 Couldn't have a weed dispensary.

00:19:27.180 Is there anything else?

00:19:30.080 Yeah.

00:19:30.420 Not that they have anything in common, but just imagine being in a job that some major state thought about it hard and said,

00:19:40.260 you're bad for the world and we're going to make you illegal in our state.

00:19:43.740 Oh, prostitution.

00:19:44.740 There's another one.

00:19:45.440 Yeah.

00:19:45.540 Anyway, so here's my question.

00:19:50.900 Could Trump ban DEI in the country by executive order?

00:19:56.000 Could you ban DEI nationally in corporations, not just government entities, but corporations?

00:20:06.660 Could you ban it by executive order?

00:20:08.860 Now, my understanding of executive orders is very thin.

00:20:13.420 But what I think it means, usually, is there has to be some existing laws on the books.

00:20:19.920 Or it would have to be, you know, right within his job description somehow, I guess.

00:20:25.560 But he can only interpret existing things.

00:20:28.980 Is that right?

00:20:30.200 An executive order is not a new law.

00:20:32.960 It's a new way of interpreting some existing law.

00:20:37.040 Right?

00:20:37.520 So, is there any existing law that would allow somebody to do an EO, executive order, that would ban it nationally?

00:20:48.300 Well, it would be a health emergency.

00:20:51.660 There we go.

00:20:52.960 Civil rights.

00:20:54.680 Civil rights.

00:20:56.780 I would think civil rights would be sufficient.

00:21:00.360 But I might have a better one coming up.

00:21:04.560 I'll make you wait for it.

00:21:05.880 Well, I won't make you wait for it.

00:21:12.520 Maybe I'll just skip right to it.

00:21:19.080 I asked Google, so you have to question it, whether you could sue somebody for brainwashing.

00:21:27.520 Is it illegal to brainwash somebody?

00:21:32.800 That's kind of interesting.

00:21:34.260 Because where's the dividing line between just influencing and brainwashing?

00:21:40.080 Well, I would say it's this.

00:21:42.160 If you're influencing somebody, you know, just to vote for your candidate, we accept that.

00:21:48.320 That's good.

00:21:48.820 If you influence somebody to buy your product, we're okay with that.

00:21:55.140 We don't call that brainwashing.

00:21:57.440 But suppose you influence somebody to do something that's clearly damaging to them, personally.

00:22:05.940 What would that be called?

00:22:08.980 Well, I would call that brainwashing.

00:22:11.160 And I would think that that would be illegal.

00:22:13.440 So if you're brainwashing somebody else for your own benefit, and there was no benefit to the brainwashed person,

00:22:21.200 I would think that you're doing something illegal.

00:22:24.780 So I looked it up and, let's see, it did say that if you inflict emotional abuse on people, yeah, emotional abuse could be the trigger for the brainwashing being illegal.

00:22:43.460 If you just brainwash somebody but they were happy about it, you're fine.

00:22:47.880 But if you just brainwash them and they're in great mental distress because of it, yeah, that feels like you actually attack them.

00:22:57.840 It's basically assault.

00:23:01.700 And here's what I'd like to see.

00:23:05.080 I'd love to see maybe Republicans sue the DNC, the Democrats, and sue the Biden administration

00:23:13.780 for brainwashing black Americans into thinking they're victims.

00:23:21.920 Now, here's the argument.

00:23:24.420 The argument is that we know very well that if you tell somebody they're a victim, they'll have a less good life.

00:23:32.080 Would you agree?

00:23:33.580 I think 100% of social science would agree that if you tell somebody they're a victim, you know, in the normal course of things.

00:23:41.300 I'm not talking about somebody who's literally a slave.

00:23:44.760 You could tell them they're a victim.

00:23:46.280 Maybe that's better than not.

00:23:48.120 But in the normal course of, you know, people just living and thriving in our society,

00:23:54.020 if you took one group of them and you brainwashed them into believing they were the victims,

00:23:59.220 you would be doing tremendous damage to them personally, psychologically, economically, socially.

00:24:08.580 You could actually decrease their ability to reproduce, literally.

00:24:15.260 Because, you know, let's say it causes them to have some separation from the people that they think are oppressing them.

00:24:22.000 And maybe some of them would have married some of those people in another world.

00:24:26.020 So you could actually reduce their ability to reproduce, their ability to, you know, thrive, the ability to have a good job.

00:24:36.360 Now, the whole point of DEI is if you complain enough, something good will happen.

00:24:41.880 And that would be maybe the defense.

00:24:44.580 Maybe that would be the defense.

00:24:46.240 Hey, something good will happen if we complain enough.

00:24:48.740 But I'd like to see the science.

00:24:50.160 I think the science would show you that the conservatives who are black in this country generally are happier.

00:25:00.940 I'll bet you can find that in a poll.

00:25:03.540 There's your science.

00:25:05.040 Do a poll of conservative black Americans versus, you know, liberal black Americans.

00:25:11.220 Who do you think would be happier?

00:25:12.440 Probably the ones who think they can take their own fate into their own hands, the Republicans, and make something out of themselves, even if there are difficulties.

00:25:24.400 Even if there is discrimination, they can still thrive.

00:25:28.760 But if you thought you couldn't thrive because of all the discrimination, you would be at a great psychological economic disadvantage.

00:25:37.000 And now, I don't have any illusion that somebody could win such a case, but it would be the greatest reframe of all time.

00:25:46.680 The greatest reframe of all time would be suing Democrats for brainwashing black Americans into the worst situation they could be in because of the brainwashing.

00:26:03.180 All right.

00:26:03.460 And it has the odd political quality being true, but the reframing of it would be amazing.

00:26:10.120 You could lose and win, right?

00:26:12.660 You could lose the court case, but you would win by simply making it a thing that people have to talk about, that there is a difference between persuading and brainwashing.

00:26:25.520 You know the difference when you see it.

00:26:27.660 TDS is a result of brainwashing.

00:26:30.700 TDS did not happen on its own.

00:26:33.460 That is your media brainwashing.

00:26:38.340 Now, there might also be, you know, a CIA or other intelligence agency involvement.

00:26:44.040 I don't know if you could make that case, but you wouldn't need to.

00:26:48.260 All right.

00:26:48.880 If you haven't seen Trump mocking Fannie Willis in his latest rally, it's worth seeing.

00:26:58.200 He's pretty darn funny about it.

00:26:59.620 He does a motion.

00:27:03.380 I'll paraphrase, but he was talking about the boyfriend, Wade.

00:27:08.840 So Trump said he was hired without, you know, experience, the right kind of experience in the law for the job he got from his girlfriend.

00:27:16.760 But Trump says he had experience of something else, and then Trump does his hand motion of, like, of the sexual hand motion.

00:27:26.520 Something no presidential candidate has ever done.

00:27:35.440 In the history of presidential candidates, nobody ever stood in front of a crowd and did a humping each other hand motion.

00:27:42.740 Like, how do you not love that?

00:27:47.220 Like, no matter what you think of his politics, how do you not love that?

00:27:53.580 Anyway, he was very funny about that.

00:27:58.120 All right.

00:27:59.040 Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut says the crime surge for migrants is 100% made up.

00:28:07.020 It's a right-wing invention.

00:28:08.860 He says violent crime is way down.

00:28:10.940 And let me tell you, he's using all capital letters for way and down.

00:28:17.460 So it's a big difference.

00:28:19.460 Because if he didn't use the capitals, I would have read it this way.

00:28:22.400 Violent crime is way down.

00:28:24.460 You wouldn't be impressed by that.

00:28:26.900 No.

00:28:27.620 But the way he's written with the capitals, the way I read it is violent crime is way down.

00:28:33.760 And that's different.

00:28:35.420 Makes you feel completely different.

00:28:36.780 He says the drop in urban murders this year was the largest in the nation's history and that the data shows that migrants commit crimes at lower rates than the people who were real, already here.

00:28:51.000 At lower rates.

00:28:53.100 Is that true?

00:28:55.620 Well, it turns out you can prove anything with data.

00:29:00.740 That data has no value.

00:29:02.660 It really doesn't.

00:29:03.340 It's just blah, blah, blah, my data.

00:29:07.820 Can he make his case with data?

00:29:11.560 Do you think that Chris Murphy, if he just had an argument with data, could he make his case?

00:29:19.200 Yes.

00:29:20.320 Yes.

00:29:21.060 The data is completely on his side.

00:29:24.080 But is it therefore his narrative is correct?

00:29:29.400 No.

00:29:29.960 Because I'm pretty sure that one extra death is a little bit too much.

00:29:37.920 So his argument about the rate, I think, is actually true historically.

00:29:43.180 But you know what's not true?

00:29:46.140 That migration today looks like historical migration.

00:29:49.240 You can't use the old data to tell me what the new migrants are going to do.

00:29:55.980 Now, it might be the same, but the data won't tell you that.

00:29:59.120 Because the data is about a certain kind of migration from a certain set of countries.

00:30:03.920 And those people really, really just wanted to work.

00:30:07.120 And they didn't want to get deported.

00:30:09.520 They didn't come here for crime.

00:30:11.260 And they actually, I believe, have a lower crime rate than population in general, I think.

00:30:21.340 I could use a fact check on that.

00:30:23.180 But I think historically, people really wanted to stay off of law enforcement's radar and just work.

00:30:30.640 So they actually did have a lower crime rate.

00:30:37.000 Yeah.

00:30:37.800 So that could be true.

00:30:39.260 But it could also be true that any extra deaths are too much.

00:30:43.820 It's just a different way of looking at the same data.

00:30:47.840 Now, are we bringing in the same kind of migrants or immigrants that we used to?

00:30:55.620 It looks like no.

00:30:58.100 There is certainly a suggestion that the Venezuelan criminals got out of jail and ran up here.

00:31:06.020 You know, the very thing that Trump said might happen actually happened, it looks like.

00:31:10.820 Now, if they're entering the jails, I would imagine that there would be some locations where the crime goes up.

00:31:16.860 Maybe.

00:31:17.140 So be careful of all the assumptions about data.

00:31:26.380 You can prove anything you want with the data.

00:31:29.180 But I do want to give the immigrants who are already here a little bit of respect, if you don't mind.

00:31:38.380 A little bit of respect for the immigrants who are here and just want to work and just want to be Americans.

00:31:44.080 I'm seeing some of you saying, no, no respect.

00:31:50.660 Really?

00:31:52.480 No respect for somebody who loves their God and their family and they're in a bad situation and they're willing to do what they need to make it right.

00:32:01.600 And even though it's illegal to come here, what they want is to just make a good legal life and contribute to the country.

00:32:09.400 You don't respect that?

00:32:12.800 Because they broke a law to do it?

00:32:17.180 Interesting.

00:32:18.700 I would argue that you've been deeply brainwashed for that opinion.

00:32:23.740 That's not a natural opinion.

00:32:27.920 That's a brainwashed opinion.

00:32:29.940 I hate to tell my own, yeah, we're all brainwashed, by the way, including me.

00:32:37.360 We're all brainwashed, maybe in slightly different ways.

00:32:41.340 But if you can't find it in yourself to respect someone who came from another country, wanted to be American, wanted to work, wanted to obey all the laws after coming in illegally, perhaps.

00:32:55.260 You can't find a way to respect that?

00:32:58.880 Really?

00:33:00.920 You don't have to like it.

00:33:03.120 By the way, it's a different argument if you think we should close the border.

00:33:07.360 That's separate.

00:33:08.600 I'm just saying that if you're just looking at the people, the human beings, they're human beings just trying to get along.

00:33:16.800 Now, I'm for very strong borders and very tough vetting, so we're only letting in people who can help us.

00:33:25.120 But that's a separate conversation.

00:33:28.260 You can still respect the people.

00:33:33.780 You're tough graders.

00:33:36.760 You're very tough graders.

00:33:40.160 Yeah.

00:33:41.240 I don't know.

00:33:42.140 Well, so part of it is I put myself in their situation.

00:33:46.800 And I say to myself, if I were in some country and I knew that if I took a risk, I could get here and I could make something of myself, and I just want to follow the law, there's just this one law I'm going to violate to get here.

00:34:02.380 Would I feel bad about myself?

00:34:05.520 I don't think I would.

00:34:06.640 I think I would respect my choice if it worked out and my second generation was completely legal and had a good life and went to school.

00:34:17.600 So is there anybody here who would think it would be more respectable to stay in your native country and starve versus breaking a law to try to get to a new place?

00:34:32.000 How many of you think it's more respectable to stay there and let your family starve?

00:34:38.620 I don't know.

00:34:39.400 I think you ought to consider that we're all brainwashed.

00:34:44.280 By the way, that's a really good mental experiment.

00:34:48.460 Don't assume it's the other people.

00:34:50.840 The other people are definitely brainwashed.

00:34:53.400 No doubt about that.

00:34:54.220 But if your level of awareness is only the other people are getting brainwashed, I'm here to help you up to the next level.

00:35:02.780 I'm here to help.

00:35:04.240 I'm not from the government.

00:35:05.760 I'm actually here to help.

00:35:07.240 I would actually like you to understand when it happens to you.

00:35:11.660 If you only see it when it happens to somebody else, that's grade school.

00:35:17.040 That's easy.

00:35:18.460 I'm trying to take you up to at least junior college level where you can see it's happening to you as well.

00:35:24.000 If you can't see it happening to you, you're really going to be lost.

00:35:27.940 You have to know it's happening to you.

00:35:30.000 It's very, very important.

00:35:33.200 All right.

00:35:35.380 I know it's uncomfortable to have that thought in your head.

00:35:38.160 Biden's saying the border is insecure because of Trump.

00:35:44.060 Let's just talk about sort of the theme I was getting to, that the level of gaslighting during the election season is so off the chart.

00:35:55.100 And I don't know.

00:35:57.540 I don't know if it's worse than ever.

00:36:00.380 It feels like it is, but maybe we think that all the time.

00:36:03.100 I don't know.

00:36:03.440 So how much of a gaslight is it to say that Trump's the reason that the border is open?

00:36:11.480 I mean, that's just insane.

00:36:13.740 It's insane.

00:36:15.120 And the story that they've sold to, I don't know, at least half of their own people,

00:36:19.960 is that if that bill had passed, the border would be closed.

00:36:24.440 How little would you have to know about this situation to think that that's true?

00:36:31.360 You would have to know almost nothing about the situation to buy that.

00:36:36.500 And the fact that Biden says it, and, you know, it's the standard line now, really does suggest that they know how dumb their voters are.

00:36:45.260 They're really playing their voters for idiots, right?

00:36:50.180 Because there's lots you could say that would be not exactly what Trump says.

00:36:55.060 There's a whole bunch of things you could say, which is Trump honestly says this.

00:36:59.700 We honestly say this.

00:37:01.180 We think our thing is better.

00:37:03.320 They can't do that.

00:37:04.880 All they can do is make up the most absurd lie that Trump's responsible for it.

00:37:10.320 Now, I do believe that Trump said it would be better for my election results if he don't pass the bill.

00:37:18.480 Do you believe that part?

00:37:20.200 Do you believe that Trump ever did say, you know, it would be better off if we don't pass it?

00:37:25.540 I believe he said that, but not the way they're interpreting it.

00:37:30.120 It doesn't make sense to do a bad bill if it's also politically bad.

00:37:36.620 That's what I heard.

00:37:37.600 The bill's bad, but passing it would be twice as bad.

00:37:43.580 It's two bad things, the bill itself, and then the politics of passing it, if they could claim it worked or that it's going to work any day now.

00:37:53.740 So, yeah, I think Trump is completely, it's a completely normal thing to say this would be bad to pass this politically,

00:38:02.500 but it's also just a bad bill, which we observe.

00:38:07.600 All right, because it didn't really address the core problems.

00:38:14.180 Here's the funniest thing.

00:38:17.320 I really don't think the Democrats understand that replacement theory that they keep complaining about.

00:38:25.740 You know, a lot of people on the right keep saying, hey, they're trying to replace us.

00:38:31.540 They're going to try to replace us.

00:38:32.860 And they're usually thinking, I guess, white Republicans or something.

00:38:37.620 They're trying to replace us.

00:38:39.940 Well, you know how the future is impossible to predict in anything?

00:38:45.540 You know, most things are just unpredictable.

00:38:48.600 Here's what I think might be happening.

00:38:50.340 The migrants might be replacing us, but only the Democrats.

00:38:57.020 I think the migrants are replacing the Democrats.

00:39:01.640 And because what are, how many of the migrants have blue hair?

00:39:07.000 Has anybody seen the, have you seen the thousands and thousands of migrants?

00:39:10.720 I look for the blue haired ones.

00:39:15.140 And I also, I'm wondering how many there are more trans.

00:39:19.300 Have you seen the numbers?

00:39:21.760 Are you saying that no trans people are coming across the border?

00:39:26.620 I feel like that group should be carved out for special protection.

00:39:31.600 No trans.

00:39:33.040 No blue hair, no trans.

00:39:34.360 And are they rejecting religion, the people coming in?

00:39:39.320 Or are they embracing it?

00:39:42.020 Just a guess.

00:39:43.820 Probably most of them, at least from Central and Latin America,

00:39:47.520 are certainly religious in nature.

00:39:49.940 Do they like families?

00:39:53.040 Yes.

00:39:53.560 Do they expect and want to work hard to succeed?

00:40:00.660 Yes.

00:40:04.360 I don't think we've quite grasped the degree to which we've refreshed the country

00:40:12.660 and we don't know it.

00:40:14.580 Now, again, let me say, I'm completely against open immigration.

00:40:20.440 We've got to close the frickin' border and vet people.

00:40:24.280 But within the vetting, I'm very much a Musk perspective.

00:40:29.440 We probably need 50 million migrants just to survive.

00:40:35.160 Not a preference.

00:40:37.380 It might be requirement.

00:40:39.460 An actual existential requirement that we need 50 million.

00:40:45.920 Now, I know you don't like it, and I'm not crazy about it myself,

00:40:50.380 unless they're vetted.

00:40:52.800 If we vet them, 50 million is going to be really, really good for the country

00:40:56.480 if we get the best people from other countries, et cetera.

00:40:59.600 But I don't think we can do that with DEI.

00:41:02.560 I think as long as DEI is in place,

00:41:05.380 you're not going to get the best people coming to this country.

00:41:09.480 It's definitely going to be a little bit of a gating factor, I would think.

00:41:13.400 All right.

00:41:17.380 So just keep an eye on it.

00:41:19.160 And if I were the Republicans, here's what I would do.

00:41:22.660 I would create a document, I might use AI,

00:41:25.660 that would give a very, maybe three- or four-point explanation of what a Democrat is

00:41:32.340 and what a Republican is.

00:41:34.760 And I would hand it out to every migrant I could find.

00:41:38.180 Now, the news would pick it up, and they'd say,

00:41:41.020 look what these damn white supremacists are doing.

00:41:45.420 They're giving out these little leaflets to everybody,

00:41:49.360 and it's telling you,

00:41:50.480 what's the difference between a Republican and a Democrat?

00:41:53.820 Oh.

00:41:54.960 And then they would talk about it.

00:41:58.020 And then the other migrants would hear about it in the news.

00:42:00.880 I don't know if they're watching a lot of news, but let's say.

00:42:04.340 And it would just become a frame.

00:42:07.260 Because right now, we're allowing the Democrats,

00:42:11.960 you know, all of us collectively,

00:42:13.620 we're allowing the Democrats to frame it as,

00:42:16.860 of course, there are Democrats.

00:42:18.760 And I do think that that might be persuading people coming in

00:42:22.560 that they must be Democrats.

00:42:24.400 If the only thing they hear is Democrats saying,

00:42:27.700 hey, we're the ones who let you in, be a Democrat,

00:42:30.900 I'd probably sign up.

00:42:32.860 If I didn't know anything else,

00:42:35.160 except the Democrats want me here,

00:42:38.220 and the Republicans are complaining,

00:42:40.620 I'd be a Democrat, if it's all I knew.

00:42:43.920 And I'd probably sign a paper if they put it in front of me, etc.

00:42:49.500 Yeah, right, and the NGOs are probably saying bad things

00:42:52.480 about Republicans even before they get here.

00:42:54.760 So suppose somebody gets here,

00:42:57.180 and you hand them a document that says,

00:42:58.940 if you're a Republican,

00:43:00.600 you like God and families and no abortion,

00:43:04.180 whatever you think would get the migrant people on your side.

00:43:10.700 But because you're the ones who decide how to frame the other side,

00:43:15.080 you just frame them in the worst possible way.

00:43:18.340 And probably that's enough.

00:43:24.000 I mean, it would certainly change the equation in terms of how enthusiastic

00:43:28.740 were the Democrats about bringing in new voters.

00:43:32.080 I think you could get at least half of them to register Republican with a little bit of work.

00:43:38.740 Yeah.

00:43:39.100 And then you use AI to translate it into as many languages as you need.

00:43:43.620 So if you keep the differences between Democrat and Republican to, let's say, four items,

00:43:51.080 one will allow the government to transition your child to another gender without telling you.

00:43:57.320 Just simple stuff, right?

00:44:00.540 And if there's only, let's say, four bullet points on each one,

00:44:04.360 you could, on one document,

00:44:06.960 you could translate it into, you know, 80% of the languages they use.

00:44:11.440 Just use AI.

00:44:14.060 It wouldn't take you but a moment.

00:44:17.900 Jonathan Turley is talking about these so-called enhanced sentences.

00:44:22.540 So some of the January 6th people got enhanced, meaning longer sentences,

00:44:27.500 because there was an argument there was something about it

00:44:30.520 that made it extra bad even within the field of crime that they were alleged to have committed.

00:44:37.780 But I didn't know this, that did you know that in a TV interview at some point,

00:44:45.280 it wasn't recently, but Justice Official Michael Sherwin, he said, quote,

00:44:51.900 our office wanted to ensure that there was shock and awe,

00:44:56.620 meaning that the sentences were extra stiff.

00:45:00.140 Shock and awe.

00:45:01.100 It worked because we saw through the media posts that people were afraid to come back to D.C.

00:45:09.040 because they're like, if we go there, we're going to get charged.

00:45:13.320 We wanted to take out those individuals that essentially were thumbing their noses at the public

00:45:18.680 for what they did.

00:45:20.300 Does any of that sound like justice?

00:45:28.500 No.

00:45:30.620 No, that's not even close.

00:45:32.500 I can't even believe he said this out loud.

00:45:35.240 Can you believe somebody said that in public?

00:45:37.820 That we charged them, you know, to make an example of them, basically?

00:45:42.780 Well, that should be enough reason to let them all out.

00:45:48.600 Yeah.

00:45:49.900 Have you asked yourself what that day would look like?

00:45:55.300 Imagine a Trump victory.

00:45:58.340 Imagine he signs the, you know, the whatever document to free them all.

00:46:05.120 And imagine you actually watched the video of all of them leaving jail.

00:46:09.040 Just hold that in your mind.

00:46:14.580 You just see them all just streaming out of jail.

00:46:18.920 Yeah.

00:46:20.240 I wouldn't care about anything else in this election but that.

00:46:27.840 That's the one thing you've got to get right or I don't care about anything else.

00:46:32.840 Don't even want to live here if they stay in jail.

00:46:36.380 I don't even want to live in this country.

00:46:38.140 You've got to get that right.

00:46:40.480 Then we'll talk about taxes and, you know, immigration and wars and stuff.

00:46:45.640 Very important.

00:46:46.740 But not as important as this.

00:46:50.120 Not as important as freeing those political prisoners.

00:46:54.120 That's my number one.

00:46:56.500 That's my number one.

00:46:58.520 And if you told me Trump is a rapist and he continues to rape people every day,

00:47:05.460 I'd still support him because of just that one thing.

00:47:09.480 There's nothing you could tell me about Trump, you know, whether it's true or not true,

00:47:14.640 that would make me not be willing to free those prisoners if he's the only one willing to do it.

00:47:20.260 If nobody else is willing to do it, he's your man and I don't care what else you say.

00:47:27.840 Is he a felon?

00:47:29.760 Do you think I care?

00:47:31.880 Do you think I care if he gets convicted?

00:47:34.240 No, I care that he lets the January 6th people out of jail.

00:47:38.980 Do you think I care that he didn't do enough about fentanyl?

00:47:42.840 I do care, but it wouldn't make any difference to my vote because nobody else is doing anything either.

00:47:48.080 And I think it's obvious that we want that to happen.

00:47:51.060 We meaning whoever actually runs the country has decided that that's an acceptable expense of lives.

00:48:00.660 Yeah.

00:48:01.380 No, there's nothing you can tell me about Trump that would make any difference to my support of him

00:48:08.720 as long as the January 6th are in jail.

00:48:11.480 Nothing else matters.

00:48:12.980 In fact, if I were running for president, I wouldn't even say anything else.

00:48:16.700 I'd just say, you know what?

00:48:17.740 You know what I will do for president.

00:48:19.700 You've already seen it.

00:48:20.700 I'm going to let these guys out of jail.

00:48:22.780 Now, that would probably only work for the Republicans, right?

00:48:25.720 So it probably wouldn't let him get elected.

00:48:27.960 You know, the Democrats would say, ah, you insurrectionists.

00:48:30.940 But, yeah, if you're on the political right and you put anything above that issue,

00:48:38.980 I don't know how you do it.

00:48:41.980 What is a higher issue than people who have your opinion being put in jail?

00:48:48.000 That's basically what's happening.

00:48:49.400 There's nothing higher than that.

00:48:51.660 Nothing.

00:48:54.420 All right.

00:48:57.540 You know, you thought that Fortran was an old computer language from the 70s.

00:49:03.240 Does anybody remember Fortran?

00:49:04.800 Well, now there's a new name for it.

00:49:08.320 And Wokeness is telling us about a family that has four children and they're all trans.

00:49:14.020 All four.

00:49:15.240 All four kids are trans.

00:49:17.100 Yeah.

00:49:18.460 Let's see.

00:49:19.120 Let's calculate the odds.

00:49:20.440 Odds of having one trans kid, one in 3,000, according to it.

00:49:24.020 And Wokeness.

00:49:24.680 The odds of having four, all four, it's not just four, but it's all four, 100%.

00:49:31.800 It's, let's see, do the math, 3,000 to the fourth power.

00:49:37.440 That'd be one in 87 billion.

00:49:39.040 So there's this video of the very proud parents.

00:49:44.700 Oh, my God, are they proud that they reversed the genders of all of their children.

00:49:49.980 All four of them.

00:49:52.940 And they're beaming with pride.

00:49:55.520 And they made a video because they're so proud.

00:49:59.780 They'd like you to share in their glory.

00:50:02.200 And that's legal.

00:50:09.920 Now, let's show this story to the migrants and say, hey, if you vote Democrat, you can

00:50:19.160 have this, too.

00:50:20.680 We can reverse the genders of all of your children.

00:50:24.300 And here's the good part.

00:50:25.780 We don't even have to check in with you.

00:50:28.180 We can do it while they're at school.

00:50:31.340 Literally.

00:50:32.200 All right.

00:50:35.480 Over 73% of registered voters think Biden is too old, including 56% of Democrats.

00:50:44.120 And it's a new poll, but it's in line with other polls.

00:50:47.260 And I love the fact that the Democrats are still pretending there's nothing wrong.

00:50:54.940 We're getting closer and closer to that Monty Python skit, aren't we?

00:51:00.520 That parrot is dead.

00:51:01.780 No, it's not.

00:51:06.840 Now, why isn't that more of a meme?

00:51:09.920 All right.

00:51:10.280 I challenge you.

00:51:11.800 I want you to find the Monty Python dead parrot sketch.

00:51:16.440 And I want you to use AI to replace the parrot's head with Joe Biden's head.

00:51:22.780 Can you do that for me?

00:51:24.000 It's all I ask today.

00:51:25.020 Just use AI and do that skit.

00:51:28.680 But it's got to be Biden's head as the little parrot who's dead.

00:51:31.820 Well, he's dead.

00:51:32.940 No, he's not.

00:51:33.700 Now, here's the thing that I think Trump has figured out, which is things are so absurd that mockery is the only right answer.

00:51:48.300 Like, defending yourself would be stupid.

00:51:52.120 You should just mock how insanely stupid it is and how they're playing you for stupid.

00:51:59.240 Because they're really playing you for stupid.

00:52:03.800 Seriously, playing you for stupid.

00:52:07.120 All right.

00:52:07.500 There's a New York Times Siena poll that, I think it was Molly Hemingway or somebody, I think it was Molly, was pointing out that in the past it has been a little skewed pro-Biden.

00:52:21.300 So, you'd expect their poll to show Biden in the best possible light if they were acting the way they've acted before.

00:52:31.340 But instead, they're showing Trump would beat Biden 48 to 43, which is a pretty healthy margin.

00:52:39.160 Because at one point, you know, I think they had the same poll, you know, in prior election 2020.

00:52:45.760 They had Biden up by 14.

00:52:51.720 Now, of course, the final vote was nothing like that.

00:52:54.860 But at the final vote, they still had him up by 9.

00:52:59.460 They had him up by 9 on Election Day.

00:53:02.980 All right.

00:53:03.500 So, you know that they're seemingly, we don't know because we can't read minds, but seemingly they just seem to be a political poll that is in the bag for Biden.

00:53:13.860 But even they have given up, it looks like, a 19-point swing since that, you know, the biggest sport they ever showed for Biden.

00:53:23.000 A 19-point swing.

00:53:26.440 So, how do you explain that he's still there?

00:53:33.760 Isn't it super obvious that he can't win under normal circumstances?

00:53:42.420 Now, here's what's really fun.

00:53:45.980 If it's true, as Tucker says, that the elections are all fake and they've been maybe fake for a long time, and that the CIA or whoever it is can control them any way they want.

00:53:57.820 You know, in a variety of ways.

00:54:00.640 They can change laws about, you know, the mail-in votes.

00:54:04.240 They can get Google to be more biased.

00:54:07.620 There are probably a million ways they can do things.

00:54:10.580 And maybe even directly with the vote, but we don't have any proof of that.

00:54:15.580 A lot of strong suspicions.

00:54:18.380 And an inability to check.

00:54:20.320 By the way, if there's ever a question and you're not allowed to check, just assume that the election is rigged.

00:54:30.800 So, my understanding is that there's now still a room full of ballots that some people said were fake, that the judge simply just doesn't rule on it, to rule whether they can open the door and look at them.

00:54:44.760 Now, in my opinion, there's no way there's still a bunch of evidence in a room that hasn't been removed.

00:54:51.860 I don't think there's any chance that that room has something in it.

00:54:55.280 But the fact that they won't unlock it, that's, I would consider that proof that the election is rigged.

00:55:01.520 Would you?

00:55:03.980 What do you consider proof?

00:55:06.660 You know, you've got your scientific proof, but that doesn't really apply.

00:55:10.360 You've got your legal courtroom proof, but it's not being handled by the court.

00:55:16.380 The court's ignoring it.

00:55:18.220 If the court had ruled and opened that door in Georgia, I guess, and then we looked, you know, maybe there's something there, maybe there isn't.

00:55:26.600 But then we would say, well, at least the court is doing its court thing.

00:55:30.520 But if the court refuses to let you look, just, yeah, your working assumption should be, oh, that's proof.

00:55:37.120 If they won't let you check, that's proof.

00:55:43.160 And I think that should be the standard.

00:55:45.900 So likewise on January 6th, the fact there was so much resistance to simply taking a little time to make sure,

00:55:55.680 that's not scientific proof, it's not legal proof,

00:56:01.060 but on a working basis for a citizen trying to understand what's true, that's proof.

00:56:07.480 If your government won't show you something about an election, that's proof it was rigged.

00:56:14.680 I think that's a reasonable definition in the realm of elections as to what proof actually means.

00:56:22.520 What's the word mean?

00:56:24.080 Because remember, a scientific proof and a legal proof, they're not the same.

00:56:28.400 We use the word proof different.

00:56:32.880 A math proof is not the same as a science proof.

00:56:37.760 And a legal proof is not the same as a math proof or a science proof.

00:56:41.600 Three different proofs.

00:56:43.040 I believe there is also a political proof.

00:56:46.600 A political proof is we're not going to show you, even though it's right here,

00:56:51.940 it's right behind this door, but we're not going to open it for you.

00:56:55.660 And we're not going to give you a reason why we won't show you.

00:56:59.400 That's a political proof.

00:57:02.580 Anybody disagree?

00:57:06.000 Refusing to show you something that can be shown to you because it's not proprietary, that's a proof.

00:57:12.040 So if you say it's been proved, and you say this is how I define it, whenever there's a lack of transparency from the government, have I ever said this before?

00:57:24.460 However, citizens are innocent until proven guilty.

00:57:29.240 You don't want to change that.

00:57:31.780 But governments are not citizens.

00:57:34.280 They're entities.

00:57:35.800 The entity is always guilty until they prove they're not.

00:57:39.080 Because all entities will be corrupt if you can't check.

00:57:42.760 Everybody knows that.

00:57:44.420 If there's any entity that you can't check what's going on, and there's money involved or power, of course they're corrupt.

00:57:52.900 It's only transparency, it's only transparency that protects you.

00:58:00.240 There's nothing else, not a single other thing but transparency.

00:58:04.580 We don't have it for the election, and so it was rigged.

00:58:09.960 You don't have to wonder about it.

00:58:12.660 And by the way, I believe that that is standard of what I'm calling proof.

00:58:16.440 Here I'm defining my own terms.

00:58:19.620 I believe it's as rigorous as at least a scientific proof.

00:58:24.540 It's certainly as rigorous as a political proof.

00:58:29.040 I will not go so far as to say it's as rigorous as a math proof.

00:58:34.540 That's hard to beat.

00:58:36.340 But certainly, science and the courts are a little bit subjective, even if they try not to be.

00:58:42.840 So, yeah, you could be a little bit subjective and still make it a proof.

00:58:49.740 There's a standard for that.

00:58:53.680 All right, and of course, mail-in ballots is pretty much proof of rigging.

00:58:58.540 If there's a push for mail-in ballots that doesn't seem to fit the situation, like the need for it is not demonstrated,

00:59:11.100 that's proof of fraud.

00:59:12.840 In my opinion.

00:59:15.640 All right, the same poll, I think it was, that shows Trump winning Hispanics.

00:59:21.920 What?

00:59:25.020 There's a poll in the real world, the United States, in 2024,

00:59:30.780 that has Trump handily ahead 46 to 40 with Hispanic voters.

00:59:44.720 Now, actually, yeah, with voters.

00:59:49.680 It's not even just Hispanics, it's voters.

00:59:53.620 Is that possible?

00:59:56.920 Let me make a prediction.

00:59:58.920 I'm going to make the most radical prediction, but I'm not going to predict it as a certainty.

01:00:08.920 For the first time ever, and only because of the special situation with Biden falling apart,

01:00:14.660 and the border being open.

01:00:16.580 Under that weird, special situation,

01:00:21.620 Trump could win the black vote, all right.

01:00:26.020 I'm not going to predict it, as in like a certainty, but it is on the table.

01:00:37.260 Now, at the moment, it's not close.

01:00:39.700 At the moment, it's not close.

01:00:40.860 And by the way, he doesn't have any chance of winning black women.

01:00:46.100 So let me modify that.

01:00:48.180 I believe that Trump could win black men, all right.

01:00:53.480 He doesn't have a chance with black women.

01:00:59.220 You're forgetting the election is already decided.

01:01:05.040 But let's say in the polling, right?

01:01:09.000 Let's just say in the polling.

01:01:10.300 I think you're right that the actual election is almost certainly certain to be rigged.

01:01:16.940 Because I think they always have been.

01:01:21.440 But I think the polling on election day could show that he's winning with black men.

01:01:27.380 I feel he is one story away.

01:01:32.540 You know, one good narrative away.

01:01:35.140 He's not there.

01:01:36.560 He doesn't have a narrative that could make that happen.

01:01:38.840 But you know what he does have?

01:01:43.520 What does he have this time that he never had before?

01:01:48.920 Yeah.

01:01:49.360 This time, he's got to have a vague.

01:01:56.720 This time, he's got to have a vague.

01:01:59.280 And it's really sort of a messaging challenge, right?

01:02:02.920 So he's got the best messaging person of all time.

01:02:09.800 And, you know, we laugh about the sneakers.

01:02:15.680 The sneakers is not nothing.

01:02:18.040 It's not nothing.

01:02:19.000 Yeah, it's funny that he was so on the nose.

01:02:24.540 It sounds like, you know, trying too hard or something.

01:02:26.860 But somehow he pulled it off.

01:02:28.980 He actually pulled it off.

01:02:30.740 And here's what I think you're missing.

01:02:33.460 When Trump introduces sneakers, the Democrats say, oh, he's pandering.

01:02:41.700 Is he?

01:02:43.320 Or is he showing he understands a segment of the world in a way that the Democrats missed?

01:02:48.840 I think it shows an understanding of black America on a level that we haven't seen.

01:03:01.720 And I don't mean, you know, I like sneakers, they like sneakers.

01:03:05.280 Not that simple.

01:03:05.960 I think there's a deeper thing with the status of footwear.

01:03:12.220 You know, I've heard other people say, if you can't afford to have a mansion, you know,

01:03:17.860 you can have a little status in your footwear or your bag, you know.

01:03:23.000 So it's something like that.

01:03:26.840 Yeah.

01:03:27.300 And the Hillary with the hot sauce was just, that felt like pandering.

01:03:32.240 But there's something about Trump and the golden sneakers and the fact that they were a huge success

01:03:38.900 that I'm not even sure I understand.

01:03:42.940 But I feel like that's, there's something deeper than pandering that's going on there

01:03:47.120 that feels like, feels like understanding some dynamic that maybe I don't understand.

01:03:55.860 Likewise, when Trump says his legal problems could help him with black voters,

01:04:01.780 and then the Democrats say, you racist, are you saying that black people are defined by the legal system?

01:04:08.660 And of course, it's nothing like that.

01:04:11.840 It's just, do you believe the system is rigged against you?

01:04:16.240 And if you feel like the system is just obviously right in everybody's face, rigged against you,

01:04:22.920 you're going to have a little bit of feeling of solidarity

01:04:26.640 with somebody who's also feeling the system rigged against them.

01:04:30.180 Can you think of an example like that?

01:04:34.840 Yeah, you just saw one.

01:04:36.620 I just gave you one.

01:04:38.520 I just told you that my top political thing is freeing the January 6th people.

01:04:46.340 Do you think I would have been there?

01:04:49.780 Do you think I would have been there beating up a cop?

01:04:53.060 Destroying property?

01:04:54.740 Nope.

01:04:56.260 Nope.

01:04:57.740 No.

01:04:58.300 Am I relating to the January 6th people because,

01:05:01.560 hey, I'm an insurrectionist and they're insurrectionists?

01:05:06.380 Nope.

01:05:06.900 Am I relating to them because it's obvious that they were targeted for being white, mostly?

01:05:14.520 Yes.

01:05:18.060 That's how I relate to them.

01:05:20.040 I relate to them as someone who's been targeted unfairly by the system,

01:05:24.860 and I relate to that.

01:05:27.260 Now, let's say, let's change all their ethnicities.

01:05:30.780 It's mostly white people in January 6th jail.

01:05:34.260 Suppose they were all black.

01:05:36.240 How would I feel about it then?

01:05:38.480 Would I be able to relate?

01:05:40.460 I'd be like, eh, different problem in my situation.

01:05:44.140 Nope.

01:05:45.280 Same, same.

01:05:47.300 If thousands of black, let's say Republicans, had been locked up,

01:05:54.340 it's still my number one topic because I would still relate to it.

01:06:00.760 I would still relate to it.

01:06:01.920 The color of their skin, honestly, I don't think I thought once, until today,

01:06:09.080 I don't think I thought once about the fact that the January 6ers were mostly white.

01:06:13.800 They're not all white.

01:06:15.000 They're not all white.

01:06:16.180 But mostly.

01:06:18.460 It just wasn't, you know, that wasn't the point of comparison.

01:06:22.520 The point of comparison is living in a country where that can happen.

01:06:25.900 I don't want it to happen to them.

01:06:28.800 I don't want it to happen to anybody black, ever.

01:06:32.840 And I don't want it to happen to me.

01:06:35.360 So that's my point of, you know, if it ever came down to, like, a physical revolution,

01:06:44.320 I want on my side the people who think like me.

01:06:47.820 I don't need on my side the people who look like me.

01:06:53.140 I want them to think like me.

01:06:55.420 Right?

01:06:55.920 Then you're on my team, you know, when things get dangerous.

01:07:00.960 All right.

01:07:04.740 So here's another thing we could mock.

01:07:07.140 So the Biden administration is limiting the natural gas production, I guess, in this country,

01:07:12.220 but not so much the drilling of the oil, which is interesting.

01:07:16.040 I don't know how they explain it.

01:07:17.820 But the idea is that, you know, natural gas, you know, you could find some substitutes,

01:07:25.860 say the green people.

01:07:27.160 But then the lesser green people say gas is cleaner than whatever else you're using at

01:07:33.260 the moment.

01:07:34.320 So why wouldn't you use the cleaner alternative?

01:07:38.260 Well, it turns out that that analysis is not very straightforward.

01:07:41.960 Because when you're looking at substitutions, you can never know exactly who substitutes what

01:07:48.620 for what.

01:07:49.180 So it's not entirely clear that limiting natural gas even helps you for CO2.

01:07:56.840 Because limiting that, people might substitute something worse, but they also might substitute

01:08:03.600 something better.

01:08:05.300 And it might be different in a different country.

01:08:07.560 Right?

01:08:07.660 So somebody might try harder to do solar, but somebody else might just say, well, I better burn coal because

01:08:14.420 I don't have time to build me a solar plant.

01:08:17.420 So economists can't really sort this one out.

01:08:20.840 But I think it's an easy one.

01:08:25.740 I think you sell the natural gas until you've got a better idea.

01:08:31.620 To me, it seems straightforward.

01:08:33.400 But I would take it from, let's say, a pure manager perspective.

01:08:38.000 You know, if you knew at the moment it was better than the alternatives, I'd probably do it and try to

01:08:43.180 figure out something later.

01:08:44.580 But here's my question.

01:08:49.020 Since you cannot use math and economics to support limiting natural gas, because it's a

01:08:56.600 questionable proposition economically, and even CO2-wise, would you say that the Biden

01:09:02.400 administration is following the science?

01:09:05.600 Their entire thing is follow the science.

01:09:07.720 So don't you think that they owe us an analysis, perhaps a model?

01:09:15.640 For climate change, they like to use models.

01:09:18.320 They should produce a model that shows here we are cutting the natural gas.

01:09:25.100 And here you can see how this follows through to reducing, you know, this line on CO2.

01:09:32.240 If that's their argument, and their whole deal is you've got to be compatible with science,

01:09:36.520 why don't we hold them to their own standard and make them compatible with science?

01:09:43.640 Well, it's because they've been gaslighting, and they've never been compatible with science.

01:09:48.980 Because you know what is not a science?

01:09:51.340 Models.

01:09:53.880 Everybody who thinks that a projection model is science has really been brainwashed.

01:10:01.680 It's closer to the opposite.

01:10:04.400 Yeah.

01:10:04.520 Do you think that I could create a model, or here's a challenge for you.

01:10:12.120 Would you bet a million dollars against my claim that I can create a model that will predict

01:10:22.340 the GDP of America in 10 years?

01:10:26.860 So that's my claim.

01:10:28.000 I can create a prediction model that will hit the GDP of America 10 years from now on the same day.

01:10:38.460 Who would bet against me?

01:10:42.580 It's easy.

01:10:44.280 Do you want me to tell you how I can do it easily?

01:10:46.320 And I know you're thinking, hey, nobody can predict the future like that.

01:10:51.380 I could create a model that I would bet a million dollars will be right.

01:10:57.100 Do you know how I'd do it?

01:10:59.140 I would create 1,000 models.

01:11:02.180 Every one of them would be off by a tenth of a percentage point.

01:11:06.500 And then I would give you all 1,000 models.

01:11:10.060 And I'd say, in 10 years, I'm going to tell you which one of those was right.

01:11:16.680 And then I'm going to claim that I created a model that predicted it.

01:11:21.500 And you know what?

01:11:22.860 It would be true.

01:11:24.780 Because that would be the model.

01:11:26.280 You had it for 10 years.

01:11:27.980 I'm pointing to it.

01:11:29.500 It's the exact number that is the reality.

01:11:33.660 There you go.

01:11:34.760 Now you're saying, but Scott, that's not like climate change models.

01:11:40.240 No, it is.

01:11:41.880 That's how they do it.

01:11:43.860 You didn't know how they do it?

01:11:45.460 They have hundreds of models.

01:11:47.760 And they do something called hindcasting,

01:11:50.080 which is making sure that it would have worked

01:11:52.480 if it had existed in the past up to today.

01:11:55.980 Do you know how they do that?

01:11:58.020 They make so many models

01:11:59.580 that some of them, by coincidence,

01:12:01.920 will be in the range of what is reality.

01:12:04.580 And then they tell you,

01:12:06.200 and here's the big scam,

01:12:08.580 that therefore it can predict the future.

01:12:13.360 Nope.

01:12:14.620 Think about my 1,000 models about the GDP.

01:12:17.780 One of them was right.

01:12:19.880 Can it predict the future?

01:12:23.400 No.

01:12:23.880 It wasn't right because it was right.

01:12:26.600 It was right because there were 1,000 of them.

01:12:29.220 And one of them was going to be pretty close.

01:12:31.360 I threw away everything that wasn't, you know,

01:12:33.820 within that range of something it could have been.

01:12:39.200 How many of you did not know

01:12:41.940 that you can make the model do anything,

01:12:45.580 including match the past,

01:12:47.500 and it has no predictive value?

01:12:49.380 None.

01:12:49.720 Some of you do it.

01:12:53.180 But if you don't do this for a living,

01:12:55.940 or you don't listen to somebody like me

01:12:57.360 who did it for a living,

01:12:58.580 which is projecting the future,

01:13:00.980 as funny as that is,

01:13:02.820 you would never know.

01:13:05.560 If you're an ordinary person,

01:13:07.100 you don't know that a meta-analysis is usually fake.

01:13:10.540 You don't know that an observational study

01:13:13.580 shouldn't be trusted at all.

01:13:14.760 You wouldn't know that peer-reviewed means coin flip.

01:13:20.040 It doesn't mean anything.

01:13:21.820 It's just a coin flip.

01:13:23.240 Yeah, yes, no, about 50%.

01:13:24.900 So, anyway.

01:13:29.200 Here's another funny thing,

01:13:31.400 that Axios is treating the weather

01:13:33.940 the way they treat Trump.

01:13:37.400 They're treating the weather,

01:13:40.080 they're reporting on the weather,

01:13:42.140 the same way as Trump.

01:13:44.600 So, you know how the left-leaning people

01:13:48.040 are covering Trump?

01:13:49.900 What they're not saying

01:13:51.340 is that his policies from his first term were bad.

01:13:55.780 Have you noticed that?

01:13:57.400 Which of his first-term policies

01:13:59.280 are they railing against?

01:14:01.260 Oh, we don't want to do that again.

01:14:03.140 None.

01:14:04.200 There's not even a single policy that they oppose.

01:14:07.160 Which of his new proposed policies

01:14:09.640 are they saying are a bad idea?

01:14:12.760 I can't think of any.

01:14:15.220 Well, you know, but abortion is settled.

01:14:17.320 It's going to the states.

01:14:18.520 That's not even a Trump issue,

01:14:20.120 in my opinion.

01:14:21.540 You know, you could federalize it,

01:14:23.140 but nobody's going to do it.

01:14:24.760 I don't think it's going to get federalized.

01:14:26.600 So, instead, what do they do about Trump?

01:14:31.260 Well, first of all, they're trying to gaslight you

01:14:33.080 that he's the one with dementia.

01:14:35.200 I love that one.

01:14:37.620 Right?

01:14:38.060 Yeah, he's the one with dementia.

01:14:40.340 Do you know how many names

01:14:41.280 I forget when I'm just doing my podcast here?

01:14:45.380 How many times have you heard me try to remember, like,

01:14:49.400 the name of the Speaker of the House or something?

01:14:51.380 Like, really easy names.

01:14:53.500 And I'll be like, what?

01:14:55.120 What's that name?

01:14:56.340 And then you'll say it in the comments.

01:14:58.020 And I'll go, oh, yeah, AOC.

01:14:59.620 And I'll just, like, forget names.

01:15:01.640 It's very common.

01:15:02.780 When you're talking about politics,

01:15:04.720 do you know how many names

01:15:06.160 that Trump has had to remember in his life?

01:15:09.140 The people he's met is, like, an insane number of people.

01:15:14.580 Not hundreds, it's thousands.

01:15:17.060 It's way over hundreds.

01:15:19.000 Probably the number of people he would need to remember

01:15:21.800 would be, I don't know, 8,000 to 10,000 or something.

01:15:24.680 Just crazy numbers.

01:15:27.480 But here's what Axios says about the weather.

01:15:31.220 February's extreme weather event did some bad things.

01:15:37.000 What do they call Trump?

01:15:39.100 Extreme mega.

01:15:41.420 Because there's nothing wrong with the mega.

01:15:44.460 So you call it extreme.

01:15:46.280 What was wrong with the weather?

01:15:49.500 Well, apparently the cold weather

01:15:51.820 doesn't really match the whole global warming thing.

01:15:54.480 You know, even though I know climate change

01:15:56.460 could be extremes in either direction.

01:15:58.380 But it doesn't fit the narrative so well.

01:16:01.320 So they just say it's extreme.

01:16:03.820 They're actually insulting the weather

01:16:06.060 the same way they're insulting Trump

01:16:09.320 because they don't have a better thing to say.

01:16:13.880 Extreme.

01:16:15.840 If they start saying that the weather is chaotic

01:16:18.580 or possibly white supremacist,

01:16:23.720 I guess that's where we're heading.

01:16:25.640 That weather, have you noticed that the snow?

01:16:30.960 Always white.

01:16:31.880 The snow is too white and too extreme.

01:16:39.520 Yep, they only have one set of things to say.

01:16:43.380 And I have a prediction.

01:16:45.160 My prediction is if it rains hard on election day,

01:16:50.300 Axios will report it as a coup.

01:16:52.160 All right.

01:16:56.380 That's my joke of the day.

01:16:58.140 They'll report it as a coup

01:16:59.240 because they can't tell the difference

01:17:01.240 between the weather and Trump

01:17:04.100 because they're both extreme.

01:17:07.560 All right.

01:17:10.200 I have a challenge and a question for you.

01:17:12.380 So our debt is approaching $35 trillion.

01:17:16.320 We're adding a trillion every 100 days or so.

01:17:19.640 And how do we survive that?

01:17:26.600 I don't know.

01:17:27.600 Because the problem's been around long enough

01:17:31.720 where people would at least be mentioning potential solutions

01:17:36.400 because I've never seen one.

01:17:40.900 And here's my challenge.

01:17:44.740 I want to see Jamie Dimon or Bill Ackman,

01:17:49.200 and I pick them because they're credible.

01:17:51.840 I would call them reasonably centrist but Democrat.

01:17:56.220 I think they're both Democrat but reasonably centrist.

01:17:59.420 And experts at finance.

01:18:02.360 And I want them to explain to the rest of us

01:18:04.980 how in any scenario, we're not doomed.

01:18:10.580 In any scenario.

01:18:12.440 Because I'm not aware of one.

01:18:15.020 I honestly can't think of any way we're not doomed.

01:18:16.900 So have you ever seen Jamie Dimon say,

01:18:22.740 look, there is a way out.

01:18:25.160 You'd have to, let's say, cut government 20%.

01:18:28.320 You'd have to get GDP up to 6%,

01:18:32.680 which would be crazy.

01:18:34.020 At the same time, you'd have to manage inflation.

01:18:38.440 So maybe you'd want more than usual,

01:18:41.280 but that cuts into your debt a little bit.

01:18:43.280 So if you do these three things,

01:18:46.760 you might be able to reduce the rate of growth enough

01:18:50.740 that we can survive.

01:18:52.900 Don't you want to see that?

01:18:55.620 How about Warren Buffett?

01:18:58.560 Can Warren Buffett explain to the public,

01:19:02.000 oh yeah, there is a way out.

01:19:03.520 It would be very, very hard.

01:19:05.780 But if we do the hard things, we can actually do it.

01:19:09.600 I don't think there's a hard path.

01:19:11.900 I believe there's none.

01:19:17.640 I believe there's none.

01:19:20.120 And the smartest people,

01:19:22.500 even the ones who are in the same team,

01:19:24.800 you know, in theory as the administration,

01:19:28.040 even they can't tell you any kind of scenario

01:19:30.920 in which we survive.

01:19:32.880 Which makes me wonder if there's a secret plan.

01:19:36.700 Do you think there's a secret plan?

01:19:43.380 Because I'm trying to think of what would be big enough

01:19:46.140 to pay off our natural debt.

01:19:49.380 Well, how about if we put Russia out of the energy business

01:19:55.760 and then we took their market share?

01:19:59.400 What if the Ukraine war is the only way we can pay off our debt?

01:20:15.540 In other words, there's no way that the normal growth of the economy

01:20:18.620 will pay it off.

01:20:19.420 But if we just owned energy, we just owned it.

01:20:25.660 You know, you couldn't even buy energy unless you're buying it from us,

01:20:28.600 you know, maybe other people too.

01:20:30.260 But you definitely have to get it from us too.

01:20:32.540 There just isn't enough.

01:20:34.000 If we owned Russia

01:20:35.480 and we owned their gas station,

01:20:38.360 we could probably pay off the debt

01:20:42.740 with GDP growth.

01:20:45.620 You know, we would be robbing Russia to do it.

01:20:48.100 I mean, literally, we'd be robbing them.

01:20:50.600 But you'd need a lot of money.

01:20:52.960 And actually, I'm not even sure if Russia has enough.

01:20:55.980 Would that even be enough?

01:20:58.560 If Russia stopped spending money on itself

01:21:00.920 and just gave it all to us,

01:21:02.600 I don't think it's enough.

01:21:05.220 Right?

01:21:05.360 How about the growth of the robot economy?

01:21:11.740 Will we go to a super cycle

01:21:13.800 in which the robot growth is so big

01:21:18.320 it's bigger than cars, bigger than computers,

01:21:20.640 bigger than the Internet?

01:21:22.220 Maybe.

01:21:23.280 Might.

01:21:26.160 But would that be enough to get us out of debt?

01:21:29.520 I don't know.

01:21:30.800 Again, can Elon Musk explain to us

01:21:34.420 in the best-case scenario

01:21:36.240 if we mine an asteroid

01:21:38.700 and robots are big

01:21:40.720 and AI is big?

01:21:42.240 Is that enough?

01:21:43.760 I think not.

01:21:45.420 Probably not.

01:21:48.140 And I wonder that the real play

01:21:50.740 is that the government knows

01:21:52.560 that money is going to go away.

01:21:55.260 I wonder if the real play

01:21:57.280 is that the people who really know

01:21:59.400 what's going on

01:22:00.300 think that our money will just go away.

01:22:03.440 and that it'll just be crypto

01:22:05.620 or something else

01:22:06.460 or we don't need money

01:22:07.440 or the government gives us a coupon

01:22:09.480 or something.

01:22:10.960 I don't know.

01:22:12.300 But I certainly like to know

01:22:13.740 the answer to that.

01:22:16.060 All right.

01:22:17.800 Gaza's a mess

01:22:18.900 and the U.S.

01:22:21.720 is helping out.

01:22:22.580 We dropped 66 bundles,

01:22:25.080 airdropped,

01:22:26.320 of 38,000 meals.

01:22:29.140 We're dropped into Gaza

01:22:30.720 on the beach there.

01:22:33.380 38,000 meals.

01:22:37.160 There are over a million people starving.

01:22:42.220 And they probably need

01:22:43.400 more than one meal a day

01:22:44.480 to be healthy.

01:22:47.400 Is this just,

01:22:49.100 are we just trying to make it

01:22:50.400 look like we're doing something?

01:22:52.920 I mean, I'm glad we're doing something.

01:22:54.420 And then I also don't understand,

01:22:58.400 why would you give them food in Gaza?

01:23:02.220 How does that even make sense?

01:23:04.340 Isn't the entire thing

01:23:05.640 that Israel's trying to accomplish

01:23:07.160 is to drain out all the citizens

01:23:09.360 so they can kill whatever's left

01:23:11.520 and then someday people can go back?

01:23:15.420 Shouldn't you put 100% of the food

01:23:17.460 just out of the city limits

01:23:18.980 and say, free food?

01:23:20.460 You just have to come here to get it

01:23:22.640 and then do what they need to

01:23:25.040 when everybody's out in the city.

01:23:27.420 So, I don't know.

01:23:29.860 War is terrible.

01:23:31.180 There's, you know, everybody's bad.

01:23:33.160 That's my, everybody's bad.

01:23:35.880 I'll just keep it at that.

01:23:38.600 Well, the number that the Hamas puts out

01:23:41.920 for the death toll is at 30,000.

01:23:44.840 We should not believe numbers like that

01:23:47.380 because it's coming from a sketchy source.

01:23:49.420 But I remind you that all numbers

01:23:51.360 come from sketchy sources, all of them.

01:23:54.240 And we do come to believe some,

01:23:57.720 even if they're not true.

01:24:01.860 So, I think this 30,000 number,

01:24:04.640 as non-credible as it is,

01:24:06.640 is going to enter our consciousness

01:24:08.100 as the narrative.

01:24:10.280 And they're pushing hard,

01:24:11.400 and I think they can push it hard enough

01:24:13.360 to enter it as the narrative.

01:24:15.740 At 30,000, if it becomes a narrative,

01:24:18.360 again, not the truth,

01:24:21.340 but simply what people imagine is the truth,

01:24:25.560 that that will completely destroy

01:24:29.720 the reputation of Israel for generations.

01:24:34.000 And I think the rest of the world

01:24:38.280 will call it genocide.

01:24:39.900 What do you think?

01:24:41.120 Again, I'm not giving you my opinion.

01:24:44.820 I'm saying that under this situation,

01:24:47.620 that that number of people

01:24:48.940 in that short a time,

01:24:51.040 that size of a population,

01:24:53.280 for these conditions,

01:24:54.680 you know, this situation,

01:24:56.200 I believe that most of the world,

01:24:58.100 the majority,

01:24:58.840 will come to see this death toll

01:25:01.660 as the real one,

01:25:02.620 even if it isn't.

01:25:04.340 And because of that,

01:25:05.700 they will come to see it

01:25:06.600 as a genocide.

01:25:09.380 I don't think there's anything worse

01:25:11.620 that could happen

01:25:12.380 for Israel's reputation.

01:25:13.820 So I'm not sure how they navigate it.

01:25:17.160 I'm just pointing out

01:25:18.360 that their most important asset,

01:25:20.920 which is the goodwill

01:25:22.080 of other countries,

01:25:23.660 is largely gone.

01:25:26.900 And it makes you wonder

01:25:27.940 how that's going to work out.

01:25:30.620 Now, again,

01:25:31.400 that's not my opinion.

01:25:32.960 You know, I'm not,

01:25:33.480 I'm not criticizing Israel

01:25:35.160 because my take on it is

01:25:36.600 you could criticize them

01:25:38.280 all day long,

01:25:39.120 but they're going to do

01:25:40.360 what they're going to do.

01:25:42.000 And you don't have to love it,

01:25:44.780 but you're not going to stop it.

01:25:48.060 All right.

01:25:48.600 That, ladies and gentlemen,

01:25:52.840 is my fantastic

01:25:54.660 Fun Day Sunday show.

01:25:58.200 And, whoa, ran long.

01:25:59.380 I didn't even know that.
