Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2444 CWSA 04⧸14⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called

00:00:06.660 Coffee with Scott Adams, the best time you've ever had. And today we've got a special show for you.

00:00:12.380 What makes it special? Nothing. It's just awesome, like always. And if you'd like to

00:00:18.440 take your experience up to a level that a human brain can barely comprehend, all you need for

00:00:23.920 that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask

00:00:28.440 or a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me

00:00:33.560 now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything

00:00:37.300 better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. So, so good. Well, let's

00:00:54.260 jump right into the news. By the way, if you're not watching Dilbert Reborn, only available

00:01:01.320 by subscription on the X platform or scottadams.locals.com where you get the comic plus a lot more, you

00:01:08.820 would not know that Dave the Engineer is complaining about racism in the office. I'm not going to

00:01:16.220 tell you any more, but it doesn't go the way you expected. I am so happy having my creative

00:01:22.600 freedom to actually do actual real topics that real people are experiencing in the real

00:01:29.040 workplace. Oh my goodness. It's just delightful. Anyway, that's one of the funniest things I've

00:01:35.780 ever written in my life. And if you subscribe, you can see it. And by the way, for the locals

00:01:43.900 people, I took the subscription wall down. So if anybody in locals wants to share that one,

00:01:50.180 that one's available for sharing. Well, here's some news. A Chinese study says that

00:01:56.700 approximately 13,000 islands around the world have increased their landmass over two decades,

00:02:04.040 disproving climate change alarms. Oh, well, that's kind of awkward, isn't it? 13,000 islands

00:02:12.520 got bigger. That's a lot of islands. Now, let me tell you the little bit that I know about the sea

00:02:21.420 level. The little bit I know. The little bit I know is that sea level doesn't change everywhere the

00:02:28.620 same way. Because the landmass itself sometimes goes up and sometimes goes down. And heat, as I

00:02:37.640 understand it, will increase your volume of water. So the warmer places might look a little higher

00:02:45.880 unless they cool off, et cetera. So you've got a lot of moving parts. But apparently climate change

00:02:51.640 has been debunked as one of the causes of rising sea level because CO2 is up, but the sea level is not.

00:03:00.460 Now, you do know that there are two completely different movies on climate change, right?

00:03:08.160 I can sit here all day long and tell you about studies that prove it doesn't exist.

00:03:13.660 But you could change the channel to the other channel where all the studies prove it exists.

00:03:19.960 You know that exists, right? It doesn't matter how many times I tell you there's a study

00:03:25.440 that says it totally doesn't exist. There will be one that says it does coming out at the same time.

00:03:32.740 Which one is true? Well, let's get back to the basics. What percentage of studies in general are true?

00:03:43.080 Just about anything. Any scientific study, what are the odds it's true? 50%. Because they've studied

00:03:51.500 papers, and they know that it's about 50%. Half the time they're wrong.

00:03:59.240 Now, is climate change a binary? Binary meaning it's either happening or it's not happening, right?

00:04:08.100 Because if it's happening, you know, we're not talking about it's too slow or anything.

00:04:11.960 It's either happening a lot and it's really dangerous, or maybe it's not happening.

00:04:17.420 Now, if you've got a binary where it could be happening or not happening, yes or no,

00:04:23.660 and you've got a new paper that has a 50% chance of being right and a 50% chance of being wrong,

00:04:29.140 what have you learned by the new paper? Nothing. Nothing. It's a coin flip.

00:04:37.860 I could have come to you and said, hey, let's flip a coin to see if climate change is real.

00:04:41.960 It would be exactly as useful as this new study about these islands, exactly as useful, meaning not.

00:04:51.600 It has no information value whatsoever. It's a 50-50. It's a coin flip.

00:04:58.520 Now, some of you should be quick to jump on and say, but Scott, let me science-splain you.

00:05:09.160 Is there anybody here who wants to science-splain me? You know, telling me the things that literally

00:05:13.940 everybody already knows as if I'm the only person who doesn't know it? Okay. I'm going to science-splain

00:05:19.520 myself as if I'm my critic. Scott, don't you understand how science works? It's not about one study.

00:05:27.960 It's about, you know, reproducing studies and moving toward the truth slowly over time. Sometimes

00:05:33.620 we make mistakes, but we're moving toward the truth in a directional kind of way, Scott. Don't you

00:05:38.640 understand that these studies don't mean anything individually? You have to look at them collectively

00:05:42.660 with all of your knowledge and things. Science-splainin'. There you go. So, to me, it looks like

00:05:51.600 all the forces of nature are moving in the direction of proving that Trump was right and that climate

00:05:59.420 change was always bullshit. Just in time for the election. Is it my imagination or have we been hearing

00:06:10.040 a lot less about climate change than one would expect going into an election? Huh. Why would we hear

00:06:18.540 less about climate change going into an election where the choice of presidents could make the

00:06:25.800 difference between surviving as a species and not surviving? How can we ignore such a gigantic

00:06:33.720 existential risk? Unless the people pushing it are no longer as confident? Because as I told you

00:06:41.380 yesterday, the entire public reason for climate change is dissolved. The public argument is that

00:06:52.320 all the scientists are on the same side. Like, we're not scientists, so how would we know?

00:06:57.780 But if all the scientists, let's say 97%, if they're all on one side, they tell us, well, that must be

00:07:04.580 pretty scientifically accurate with all those people. Of course, the pandemic and, you know, the 51 people

00:07:13.440 on the laptop and all that, and all of our experience lately of our captured experts, et cetera,

00:07:20.680 have largely proved that the number of people on one side means absolutely nothing. Because you can get

00:07:26.800 a whole bunch of people to agree to just about anything, as long as their paycheck depends on it.

00:07:32.620 If you make their paycheck depend on it, they'll tell you anything they want.

00:07:36.160 What do you want to hear? I'll tell you. Just pay me.

00:07:41.160 So I think the climate change argument is just falling apart like crazy.

00:07:46.080 Over in Japan, let's talk about some more fake news.

00:07:49.480 There's a Japan study that says that the cancer spikes after your third dose of COVID.

00:07:56.800 MRNA vaccines specifically.

00:08:00.100 How many of you believe that is true?

00:08:03.060 Because it has been determined by a Japanese study.

00:08:06.520 Big, big difference in cancer after your third dose.

00:08:10.960 Sound real to you?

00:08:14.440 Well, science. Come on. It must be real.

00:08:18.500 Well, let's check the alternate story.

00:08:21.040 Over on USA Today, they had a fact check from just one month ago.

00:08:26.260 Now, this is before the Japanese study.

00:08:30.700 But one month ago, USA Today said there is no evidence that COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer

00:08:38.000 or are associated with a greater risk of developing cancer.

00:08:41.900 Experts say there's no evidence of it.

00:08:45.200 So that means it's true, right?

00:08:49.580 It's true that there's no correlation because there's no evidence of it.

00:08:54.420 There's also no evidence that the 2020 election was rigged

00:08:59.660 because no courts have found it to be true.

00:09:03.360 Yeah. No court found any rigging in 2020.

00:09:08.180 And also, there's no evidence that the shots cause cancer.

00:09:16.780 Do you see the trick?

00:09:19.020 Everybody see the trick?

00:09:20.020 No evidence is really different from saying it doesn't happen.

00:09:26.000 Do you see that?

00:09:27.800 No evidence means we don't know.

00:09:31.120 No evidence means we don't know.

00:09:34.560 Here's what it didn't say.

00:09:35.820 Many controlled, high-quality studies have been performed

00:09:40.980 and have determined there's no signal for extra cancer.

00:09:45.180 Now, that would be a good answer, wouldn't it?

00:09:47.880 Multiple, repeated, gold-standard, randomized, controlled tests.

00:09:55.700 And every time we do the test, we just keep repeating this test.

00:09:58.840 And the last five times, we didn't find a signal at all.

00:10:02.620 And by the way, the tests were all funded by independent people,

00:10:07.540 not pharma companies.

00:10:10.380 Now, that would mean something, wouldn't it?

00:10:12.980 But if you tell me that there's no evidence,

00:10:15.340 do you know what my first inclination is?

00:10:18.280 Is there no evidence because nobody funded an expensive trial to look for it?

00:10:23.600 Whose job would it be to fund the trial to look for the cancer?

00:10:28.840 I don't know.

00:10:30.040 And if somebody did fund a trial and it didn't find any cancer,

00:10:34.620 wouldn't you ask some questions about who funded the trial?

00:10:37.940 Because it sounds like something big pharma might do.

00:10:41.400 Except I think big pharma just doesn't bother doing the long-term studies

00:10:45.080 because they don't have to.

00:10:47.640 There was a time when I believed that the people who made the vaccinations

00:10:53.840 would track people's health over time

00:10:56.260 to make sure that not only was it safe the first year they got it,

00:11:00.400 but that it would remain safe for 10, 20 years.

00:11:04.480 That's what I thought.

00:11:06.160 You know that doesn't happen, right?

00:11:09.100 I'm pretty sure nobody's checking after a certain amount of time.

00:11:12.960 Like if he didn't die in the first year

00:11:14.840 or they didn't see any extra deaths in whatever study they did,

00:11:19.080 they don't really follow up, do they?

00:11:20.860 Does anybody know the answer to that?

00:11:23.460 But I'm pretty sure there's no follow-up.

00:11:25.460 You just assume that there is.

00:11:27.740 Like me, you assume that, well, that's the most natural thing.

00:11:31.460 You would just track a bunch of people who took it,

00:11:34.980 just track them every year,

00:11:36.220 ask them what their situation is compared to the norm,

00:11:38.880 and no, no, I don't believe that happens.

00:11:41.680 So, do we believe the Japanese study found a strong correlation?

00:11:49.260 I don't.

00:11:50.260 I don't believe it at all.

00:11:52.560 Now, I'm not saying it's wrong,

00:11:54.300 and I'm not saying that the shots are completely safe.

00:11:57.580 I wouldn't know.

00:11:58.820 I'm just saying that this is like having no information at all.

00:12:02.940 So the fact check is completely worthless.

00:12:05.560 This was a month ago.

00:12:07.080 Completely worthless because it said no evidence.

00:12:09.220 No evidence is completely different from saying,

00:12:12.560 yeah, we checked it, and it's not there.

00:12:14.980 No evidence means we didn't check.

00:12:17.800 Right?

00:12:19.860 I'm not wrong about that, no way.

00:12:21.480 No evidence means we didn't check.

00:12:24.400 If they had checked,

00:12:25.700 they would have said all the studies say it's not there.

00:12:28.920 But no evidence says we didn't check.

00:12:31.580 I'm pretty sure that's what that means.

00:12:34.960 But, again, you've got a study,

00:12:37.160 and a 50-50 chance it's wrong

00:12:40.240 because it's a study.

00:12:43.980 So, at best, it's a coin flip.

00:12:46.620 Again, the vaccinations were either going to be good for you or not.

00:12:50.800 It's binary.

00:12:52.460 Studies are either right or wrong,

00:12:54.500 and half the time they're wrong.

00:12:56.500 It's just another coin flip.

00:12:58.160 It didn't tell you anything.

00:12:59.320 But how many of you saw that researcher guy, John,

00:13:04.380 somebody who's always the one telling you

00:13:07.220 all the studies are going to, you know,

00:13:08.500 the COVID's going to kill you?

00:13:10.100 It's always that same guy.

00:13:12.400 Like, it doesn't really get out of his domain too much.

00:13:16.320 So, I don't know.

00:13:18.200 I'm worried about the health risks,

00:13:20.840 but I would say it's short of being proven.

00:13:25.220 It might be.

00:13:25.940 It could be proven someday.

00:13:27.100 Okay.

00:13:29.320 Neuralink brain chip could give users orgasms on demand.

00:13:35.440 So, the star is reporting that the Neuralink

00:13:38.000 could give orgasms on command.

00:13:42.920 You know, hypnotists can do that too.

00:13:48.380 That's right.

00:13:49.560 Hypnotists can do that.

00:13:50.660 You don't need Neuralink for that.

00:13:53.040 All right.

00:13:53.520 But that's a lot of people are going to buy that Neuralink

00:13:56.680 if you just sit around giving yourself orgasms.

00:13:59.320 Anyway, so Cheryl Atkinson has a new video out.

00:14:06.100 She's interviewing some doctors or doctor.

00:14:08.820 And we're learning that medical schools are just bullshit.

00:14:13.040 The medical schools are just terrible.

00:14:16.140 Apparently, the medical schools teach you lessons

00:14:19.420 that are compatible with what Big Pharma

00:14:21.460 and the junk food industry wants you to hear,

00:14:23.920 wants them to do.

00:14:27.920 Just think about the fact

00:14:29.440 that your doctor is being trained by Big Pharma and Big Food.

00:14:35.960 And Big Pharma and Big Food are the things you're the most worried about.

00:14:39.740 Big food especially.

00:14:40.880 Now, I don't know the connection between junk food and medical school,

00:14:46.160 except maybe there's some kind of funding thing going on.

00:14:50.300 I don't know.

00:14:51.840 But no, your doctor, and I guess doctors confirm this.

00:14:55.940 Doctors have gone through the system,

00:14:57.880 will tell you that they're not getting the right education.

00:15:01.020 There's some kind of money bias built into their education.

00:15:05.340 Great, great.

00:15:09.100 Well, there's a new software

00:15:13.200 that's like similar to the Star Trek holodeck

00:15:16.500 that can create all these virtual worlds

00:15:19.360 that didn't exist before.

00:15:21.340 So you can say, give me a bar scene,

00:15:23.860 or we're outdoors, and it just creates that world.

00:15:27.240 Now, I guess they're using it to train AI.

00:15:29.620 So you use one AI to create worlds,

00:15:31.840 and then a second AI to look at that world

00:15:35.460 and learn from it as if it had been a real world.

00:15:39.760 But here's what I say.

00:15:44.360 We're getting closer and closer

00:15:46.040 to removing all doubt that we are a simulation.

00:15:50.340 You all see that, right?

00:15:52.580 The path toward realizing we're a simulation

00:15:56.020 is so clear at this point.

00:15:58.640 Every time a new thing comes out,

00:16:00.440 it's all in the same direction.

00:16:03.280 Now, here's what this is going to do.

00:16:05.520 Once you realize that AI

00:16:07.440 can create an environment on demand,

00:16:11.480 the next thing you're going to see

00:16:13.440 is that you can take a walk through it.

00:16:16.980 So, for example,

00:16:18.480 you can say, I'm in a house,

00:16:20.820 and then the house will be there perfectly.

00:16:22.840 And then every time you need to go into another room,

00:16:25.540 not until you need it,

00:16:29.220 the room will form before you see it.

00:16:31.500 So when you reach for the doorknob,

00:16:33.540 for the first time,

00:16:35.080 the software will build the room behind the door

00:16:37.200 because it didn't need to do it until then.

00:16:40.080 So it'll do it on demand.

00:16:42.000 Because it's not going to create the universe,

00:16:44.360 in case you go everywhere in the universe.

00:16:46.060 It's going to give you what you need as you need it.

00:16:48.540 And then when you walk outside,

00:16:51.420 maybe for the first time,

00:16:53.580 the outdoors will be created where you can see it.

00:16:56.600 And as you walk through the forest,

00:16:58.340 the forest will be created ahead of it

00:17:00.580 so you keep seeing things.

00:17:03.560 Once you've experienced that,

00:17:06.100 all doubt will be removed

00:17:07.540 about whether you live in a simulation

00:17:09.240 because that's your actual experience.

00:17:12.940 And specifically, it's going to teach you

00:17:15.000 that history is created by the present.

00:17:18.360 It doesn't work the other way.

00:17:20.340 Let me give you that example.

00:17:22.040 You're in the video game.

00:17:23.860 And until you open the door,

00:17:26.100 there's nothing behind it.

00:17:28.120 But as you turn the knob

00:17:29.460 in your virtual reality and open it,

00:17:31.800 the computer gives you the room.

00:17:35.240 Once you open that room,

00:17:37.640 it's not just that it's there at the moment,

00:17:40.080 but its history was created too.

00:17:43.020 In other words,

00:17:44.460 if there's some furniture in the room,

00:17:46.420 there's an implied history.

00:17:48.800 There's something delivered the furniture to the room.

00:17:51.760 So you're going to experience in the virtual realm

00:17:54.800 that the impression of history

00:17:57.440 is being created by things you're seeing in the moment.

00:18:01.140 And then you're going to look at the double slit experiment

00:18:03.160 and Schrodinger's cat,

00:18:05.820 and I get that they work at the quantum level

00:18:08.120 and not at the big person level.

00:18:10.060 But still, it's going to be proof to you

00:18:13.620 that the past is generated by the present.

00:18:18.720 Once you realize that,

00:18:20.480 you know we're in a simulation

00:18:21.600 and everything's heading in that direction.

00:18:23.620 It's going to be obvious.

00:18:24.600 And probably less than a year,

00:18:26.460 it will be generally assumed that we're a simulation.

00:18:30.020 All right.

00:18:33.660 There's a story about a guy

00:18:35.000 who's spending $10,000 per month on AI girlfriends.

00:18:38.620 And just like dating apps,

00:18:40.860 he has more than one.

00:18:42.300 So he's got one app for this girlfriend,

00:18:44.300 one app for the other one.

00:18:45.600 And apparently,

00:18:47.160 the man who can afford it,

00:18:49.360 I guess it's a man who's got some money

00:18:51.120 and he's single.

00:18:52.900 So he's got some extra money.

00:18:54.580 And he says it's great.

00:18:56.420 It's completely working and satisfying.

00:19:00.680 Now, add that to the holodeck.

00:19:05.380 And I'm pretty sure human reproduction

00:19:09.260 is going to come to a screaming end really quickly.

00:19:13.740 Really quickly.

00:19:15.260 But here's the thing I wonder.

00:19:18.200 In the old, old days,

00:19:20.500 when humans were more like animals,

00:19:22.660 was it true that everybody got to reproduce?

00:19:27.180 Or is that just a modern thing?

00:19:30.140 Where, you know,

00:19:30.960 it doesn't matter how you rank

00:19:32.560 in the hierarchy of your tribe,

00:19:35.660 you all get to reproduce.

00:19:38.500 Now, what happens if in the virtual world,

00:19:42.200 the people who were maybe not so competitive

00:19:44.800 for reproducing,

00:19:46.080 they just take a pass.

00:19:47.700 They say, all right, we won't reproduce.

00:19:49.000 We'll just watch video games

00:19:51.500 and, you know,

00:19:52.860 play out the rest of our simulation.

00:19:56.320 Will that cause everybody to not reproduce?

00:19:59.300 Or will it make the billionaires

00:20:01.680 reproduce like crazy?

00:20:03.640 You know, the Elon Musk model

00:20:05.040 where he can just have as many babies as he wants.

00:20:08.500 He can just keep doing it

00:20:09.740 because there's no real limit on him.

00:20:12.280 So are we going to go back to a situation

00:20:14.560 where the most capable

00:20:16.240 are having all the babies?

00:20:18.360 And is that bad for us

00:20:21.100 or good for us?

00:20:23.700 I don't know.

00:20:25.060 I mean, if the people

00:20:26.720 who are taken out of the reproduction cycle

00:20:29.520 are completely happy about it,

00:20:32.000 let's say the men,

00:20:32.800 I don't know about the women,

00:20:34.080 but if the men are happy about it,

00:20:35.580 are they worse off?

00:20:37.560 Because they didn't really have

00:20:38.640 this great marriage option anyway.

00:20:41.760 So they have this great virtual reality option.

00:20:44.480 Maybe it's better.

00:20:45.540 But then the people who can afford it

00:20:47.140 and are really bringing some powerful DNA to the mix

00:20:51.440 because they're smart or strong

00:20:52.960 or handsome or tall

00:20:53.960 or whatever it is,

00:20:55.340 they still will probably be mating like crazy.

00:20:59.340 So we might end up

00:21:01.200 changing the gene pool of humanity

00:21:04.060 by simply making it impractical

00:21:06.780 for the people

00:21:07.900 on the struggling end of things

00:21:10.140 to reproduce.

00:21:11.340 And they might be just as happy

00:21:12.480 not reproducing.

00:21:14.000 I don't know.

00:21:14.300 Nothing is predictable.

00:21:17.080 But get your AI girlfriend.

00:22:20.040 What are the happiest cities?

00:22:21.720 There's another study

00:22:22.480 that showed the rank

00:22:23.920 the happiest cities.

00:22:25.820 And cities from 33 states

00:22:29.380 made the list.

00:22:30.780 That means that the rest

00:22:31.880 of the states had

00:22:32.780 not a single city

00:22:34.920 that was one of the happiest ones.

00:22:37.620 California had the most.

00:22:39.860 California had 16

00:22:40.980 of the happiest cities.

00:22:44.200 It's Florida at 12.

00:22:45.500 What's that tell you?

00:22:48.420 It's the weather.

00:22:50.600 The first decision I made

00:22:52.500 upon graduating college

00:22:54.800 in upstate New York

00:22:56.760 was why would I live

00:22:59.140 in this weather

00:23:00.480 when I could live

00:23:01.620 in good weather?

00:23:02.880 Because at the time,

00:23:04.140 you know,

00:23:04.360 I was a free agent.

00:23:05.380 It was after college.

00:23:06.380 I could go where I wanted.

00:23:07.220 So I went to California

00:23:09.160 because Florida

00:23:11.260 is a little bit muggy.

00:23:13.400 But I guess

00:23:13.840 they're still happy there.

00:23:15.880 And sure enough,

00:23:17.920 Californians got

00:23:19.300 their legal weed

00:23:20.200 and they got

00:23:20.700 their good weather.

00:23:22.180 And you can screw up

00:23:23.800 just about everything else

00:23:25.480 and that still works.

00:23:28.720 Now, do you think that

00:23:29.820 do you think that sun

00:23:31.740 makes a difference?

00:23:33.340 Who gets the most sun?

00:23:34.680 Hawaii, California, Florida.

00:23:39.460 What are the happiest states?

00:23:42.060 Hawaii, California, Florida.

00:23:46.180 How many data points

00:23:48.980 do you need to see

00:23:49.900 to get in the freaking sun?

00:23:53.860 I mean, it couldn't be

00:23:55.520 more obvious.

00:23:56.780 We went through the pandemic

00:23:57.920 and it's like,

00:23:58.920 get in the sun,

00:23:59.600 vitamin D, vitamin D,

00:24:00.780 vitamin D,

00:24:01.420 vitamin D,

00:24:02.020 vitamin D,

00:24:02.640 get in the sun.

00:24:03.160 And then you do

00:24:04.540 the happiest cities.

00:24:06.320 Sunny, sunny, sunny.

00:24:08.280 Are you getting

00:24:09.100 the message yet?

00:24:11.020 It really is

00:24:12.420 pretty simple.

00:24:15.260 Get some sun.

00:24:16.320 Get outdoors.

00:24:17.500 There's no way

00:24:18.440 that these are coincidences.

00:24:21.060 Get some sun.

00:24:23.020 All right.

00:24:26.940 NPR,

00:24:28.020 oh, Dr. Phil

00:24:28.800 crushed a DEI advocate.

00:24:30.840 So, Dr. Phil

00:24:33.520 had somebody

00:24:34.020 who was arguing

00:24:34.880 some bad shit crazy woman

00:24:37.220 who was,

00:24:38.760 and she looked

00:24:39.280 bad shit crazy.

00:24:40.660 I'm just judging from,

00:24:42.220 she just looked it.

00:24:43.300 I mean,

00:24:43.500 she had

00:24:43.760 that bad shit crazy eyes

00:24:46.440 and stuff.

00:24:47.600 And

00:24:48.040 he got her

00:24:49.640 to say that

00:24:50.420 DEI was about

00:24:51.620 equal outcomes

00:24:52.560 and then he

00:24:53.380 mocked that end

00:24:54.220 of existence

00:24:54.780 because equal outcomes

00:24:55.840 is what stupid people want.

00:24:57.700 It's not a real thing.

00:24:58.820 You can't really have

00:24:59.520 equal outcomes.

00:25:00.940 And as Dr. Phil

00:25:01.960 explained it,

00:25:03.220 well,

00:25:03.500 you got a wall

00:25:04.200 and you got short people

00:25:05.260 who can't see over it

00:25:06.180 and tall people who can.

00:25:07.300 Are you going to fix that?

00:25:08.840 You know,

00:25:09.120 sort of his metaphor

00:25:10.480 for everything else.

00:25:12.420 And

00:25:12.820 here's my take.

00:25:16.060 DEI

00:25:16.460 is not a philosophical

00:25:17.520 difference.

00:25:20.600 I'm going to say this

00:25:21.500 over and over

00:25:21.980 until you all agree.

00:25:23.720 The only philosophical

00:25:24.980 difference between

00:25:25.820 the left and the right

00:25:26.820 is abortion.

00:25:28.840 Everything else

00:25:29.600 is smart versus stupid

00:25:30.860 or, you know,

00:25:32.680 somebody selfishly

00:25:33.760 wants more money.

00:25:35.160 That's it.

00:25:36.820 And DEI

00:25:37.680 is just stupid.

00:25:39.460 There's nobody

00:25:40.200 smart in favor

00:25:41.200 of DEI.

00:25:42.780 Can I say that?

00:25:43.640 There's nobody

00:25:43.980 smart in favor of it.

00:25:45.640 At least,

00:25:46.580 and when I say

00:25:47.280 there's nobody

00:25:47.700 smart in favor of it,

00:25:49.600 I mean that

00:25:50.240 the smarter people

00:25:51.120 who pretend

00:25:52.020 to be in favor of it,

00:25:53.860 let's take your

00:25:54.560 Mark Cubans,

00:25:55.220 for example,

00:25:55.980 smart,

00:25:56.560 unambiguously

00:25:57.200 smart person

00:25:58.000 says in public

00:26:00.080 he's in favor of it.

00:26:01.320 This stuff is not real.

00:26:03.720 All right.

00:26:04.000 He's in favor of it

00:26:05.120 if you define it differently

00:26:06.540 as in not

00:26:07.700 equality of outcomes.

00:26:09.280 So the people

00:26:10.020 who say they're in favor

00:26:10.880 are playing the game

00:26:11.840 where they pretend

00:26:12.540 it's something it isn't

00:26:13.580 or they have to say it

00:26:15.240 because of their company

00:26:16.000 or they're,

00:26:17.300 you know,

00:26:17.460 there's just some pressure

00:26:18.340 they have to say it.

00:26:19.140 There's no smart person

00:26:20.540 who in a room alone

00:26:22.580 says DEI

00:26:23.640 is a good idea.

00:26:24.460 Not a black person,

00:26:25.400 not a white person,

00:26:26.240 not a woman,

00:26:26.780 not a man.

00:26:27.780 There's no adult.

00:26:29.400 None.

00:26:30.760 None.

00:26:31.320 There are zero smart people

00:26:32.480 who think DEI

00:26:33.240 is a good idea

00:26:33.960 if you define it properly

00:26:36.020 as outcomes being equal.

00:26:38.600 None.

00:26:39.000 There's not one.

00:26:39.980 There's not a single

00:26:40.960 smart person

00:26:41.700 in the whole fucking world

00:26:42.920 who in a private conversation

00:26:44.980 with you,

00:26:45.540 if they're not lying

00:26:46.480 and they know

00:26:47.720 that you're not going

00:26:48.240 to out on them,

00:26:49.220 there's not a single person,

00:26:50.580 not one,

00:26:51.740 who's smart

00:26:52.340 and in favor of DEI.

00:26:53.920 Can we just say that out loud?

00:26:56.280 This has nothing to do

00:26:57.640 with philosophy.

00:26:59.500 It has nothing to do

00:27:00.700 with what's good for people.

00:27:02.800 It's stupid versus smart

00:27:04.520 and, you know,

00:27:06.060 there's a layer of grifting

00:27:07.320 on top of it

00:27:08.160 that keeps it all going.

00:27:10.740 You know,

00:27:11.200 and people make money from it

00:27:12.360 so it's sort of

00:27:12.940 self-perpetuating.

00:27:14.240 But to imagine

00:27:15.080 this is a philosophical difference,

00:27:16.980 I'm not going to play

00:27:18.040 that anymore.

00:27:18.580 I can't pretend

00:27:20.300 that's a philosophical difference.

00:27:22.720 It's fucking stupidity.

00:27:26.980 Speaking of stupidity,

00:27:28.760 NPR continues

00:27:29.680 to humiliate itself

00:27:30.860 and Jonathan Turley

00:27:32.160 is happy to

00:27:33.020 mock them for it

00:27:34.720 in his latest article.

00:27:37.940 Anyway,

00:27:39.120 the new,

00:27:39.720 the NPR,

00:27:40.560 not new,

00:27:41.040 but the NPR CEO,

00:27:42.600 Catherine Marr.

00:27:44.460 Oh,

00:27:45.100 okay.

00:27:45.420 I'd love to see

00:27:47.420 a picture of her.

00:27:49.400 I just have a theory

00:27:50.560 about what her eyes

00:27:51.720 probably look like,

00:27:52.760 but I'm just guessing here.

00:27:54.200 I haven't seen

00:27:54.600 a picture of her.

00:27:56.360 Maybe saucerized?

00:27:57.780 Maybe.

00:27:58.280 I don't know.

00:27:59.820 But

00:28:00.040 she,

00:28:02.560 of course,

00:28:03.220 she's responding

00:28:03.840 to the big

00:28:05.180 dust-up

00:28:06.460 because one of her

00:28:07.340 editors said

00:28:08.400 that the place

00:28:09.000 was just a

00:28:09.820 liberal hellhole.

00:28:11.720 He didn't say hellhole,

00:28:13.040 but he said

00:28:13.380 there's basically,

00:28:14.560 not basically,

00:28:15.140 there are zero

00:28:15.960 Republicans working

00:28:17.000 as editors there

00:28:17.900 and of,

00:28:18.820 I don't know,

00:28:19.140 80 some.

00:28:20.540 And,

00:28:20.860 and NPR

00:28:23.740 is not even

00:28:24.260 really pretending

00:28:25.100 to be any kind

00:28:26.900 of an independent

00:28:27.600 news outlet.

00:28:28.320 It's just a

00:28:29.060 lefty organ.

00:28:30.420 So once,

00:28:31.480 once somebody

00:28:32.320 who really did

00:28:33.140 know what's happening,

00:28:34.440 you know,

00:28:34.600 not somebody guessing,

00:28:35.760 somebody who was

00:28:36.280 in the middle

00:28:36.740 of the belly

00:28:37.360 of the beast,

00:28:38.280 called them out

00:28:39.080 for what they really are,

00:28:40.720 what did the CEO do?

00:28:42.380 Did the CEO say,

00:28:43.580 those are some

00:28:44.120 good criticisms?

00:28:45.900 We'd better

00:28:46.580 re-examine

00:28:47.320 how we do business

00:28:48.920 and you're right.

00:28:50.240 We need some

00:28:51.220 diversity of thought

00:28:52.560 because,

00:28:54.160 oh,

00:28:54.440 I guess

00:28:54.700 I got it right.

00:28:56.020 Somebody just

00:28:56.620 put her picture there.

00:28:57.740 Oh,

00:28:58.240 God.

00:29:04.980 Oh,

00:29:05.540 God.

00:29:06.740 Yeah.

00:29:07.980 Okay.

00:29:09.460 Anyway.

00:29:09.900 And she said that

00:29:14.780 so what she did

00:29:17.220 instead of saying

00:29:18.020 that NPR

00:29:18.560 is broken

00:29:19.360 and biased

00:29:20.280 and they need

00:29:20.820 to fix it

00:29:21.400 to get credibility

00:29:22.280 with their audience,

00:29:23.840 she said that

00:29:24.760 the guy who

00:29:25.400 outed them

00:29:25.980 is profoundly

00:29:26.640 disrespectful,

00:29:27.680 hurtful,

00:29:28.020 and demeaning.

00:29:29.560 And calling out

00:29:30.580 his colleagues

00:29:31.120 like that

00:29:31.580 was just

00:29:32.400 not right.

00:29:35.080 That's right.

00:29:35.760 she attacked

00:29:36.860 the whistleblower.

00:29:40.420 She attacked

00:29:41.200 the whistleblower.

00:29:42.700 I don't know

00:29:43.420 if there's any way

00:29:44.220 you could make

00:29:44.700 that any worse.

00:29:46.220 Yeah.

00:29:46.620 Let's shit

00:29:47.100 on the white guy.

00:29:49.080 That's the way

00:29:50.260 to play this.

00:29:52.220 Now,

00:29:53.300 may I say again

00:29:54.740 that whatever

00:29:56.600 was happening

00:29:57.180 at NPR,

00:29:58.640 if you say

00:29:59.300 that NPR

00:29:59.880 had a

00:30:00.540 philosophical

00:30:02.020 argument

00:30:02.720 and that's

00:30:03.840 why they act

00:30:04.760 the way they are,

00:30:05.920 it's based

00:30:06.380 on the philosophy.

00:30:08.740 It's not based

00:30:09.500 on the philosophy.

00:30:10.720 These are

00:30:11.240 batshit crazy people.

00:30:13.540 They're batshit crazy.

00:30:15.260 They're clearly

00:30:15.920 suffering from TDS

00:30:17.240 because remember

00:30:18.080 it all happened

00:30:18.660 from the Trump

00:30:19.700 time on

00:30:20.740 it got worse.

00:30:22.320 No,

00:30:22.700 this is

00:30:23.120 mental health

00:30:24.920 and to imagine

00:30:26.680 this is anything

00:30:27.320 but bad.

00:30:29.260 Oh my God.

00:30:31.780 The locals people,

00:30:33.000 not everybody

00:30:33.760 can do this

00:30:34.320 but the locals people

00:30:35.340 can include

00:30:36.100 images.

00:30:37.840 They're showing me

00:30:38.720 images of the

00:30:39.560 NPR CEO.

00:30:42.880 It's exactly

00:30:43.800 what you think

00:30:44.420 it is.

00:30:47.120 That's perfect.

00:30:49.700 All right,

00:30:50.660 so I saw a post

00:30:51.920 by Tom Elliott

00:30:52.680 on the X platform

00:30:53.780 and it was

00:30:55.040 an MSNBC clip

00:30:56.500 of somebody

00:30:57.580 doing something.

00:30:59.520 Now,

00:31:00.460 I'm not even

00:31:01.720 going to tell you

00:31:02.120 what it was about

00:31:02.840 because it's not

00:31:03.680 relevant.

00:31:04.700 Here's the funny

00:31:05.520 story.

00:31:06.800 If you're on

00:31:07.580 the X platform

00:31:08.340 and somebody

00:31:10.220 reposts a clip

00:31:11.580 from MSNBC

00:31:12.640 and they don't

00:31:14.440 put a comment

00:31:15.000 on it,

00:31:15.580 they don't put

00:31:16.280 their own comment,

00:31:17.220 it's just

00:31:17.560 take a look

00:31:18.320 at this.

00:31:20.500 It's always

00:31:21.240 for humor.

00:31:22.500 Have you noticed

00:31:23.260 that?

00:31:24.420 That the right

00:31:25.280 actually uses

00:31:26.280 MSNBC,

00:31:27.340 no joke,

00:31:28.020 this is not

00:31:28.500 hyperbole,

00:31:29.740 we use it

00:31:30.320 like Saturday

00:31:30.860 Night Live

00:31:31.580 with no comments

00:31:33.500 needed.

00:31:34.620 So I was looking

00:31:35.300 at one today

00:31:35.900 and, you know,

00:31:37.040 as soon as I saw

00:31:37.900 it was reposted,

00:31:39.240 I knew it was

00:31:39.880 for comedy.

00:31:41.580 I knew it had

00:31:42.360 nothing to do

00:31:42.880 with their philosophy

00:31:43.700 or their difference

00:31:44.580 of opinion.

00:31:45.440 In fact,

00:31:45.860 I don't even

00:31:46.380 remember what

00:31:46.960 it was about.

00:31:47.900 I just remember

00:31:48.440 it was funny

00:31:49.020 because I got

00:31:50.360 to see some

00:31:50.920 batshit crazy

00:31:51.620 people and

00:31:53.340 talking.

00:31:54.320 And if you see

00:31:54.880 batshit crazy

00:31:55.680 people,

00:31:56.940 and I've said

00:31:57.340 this before,

00:31:57.960 but once you

00:31:58.380 see it,

00:31:58.700 it's hilarious.

00:31:59.760 If you're only

00:32:00.760 watching somebody

00:32:01.520 crazy,

00:32:02.160 it's disturbing.

00:32:03.680 That's not funny.

00:32:05.140 Would you agree?

00:32:06.480 If you see

00:32:07.020 somebody who's

00:32:07.540 in mental distress,

00:32:09.340 that's not funny.

00:32:11.680 There's no way

00:32:12.280 you can make

00:32:12.660 that funny.

00:32:13.140 The only way

00:32:14.600 it can be funny

00:32:15.360 is when it's

00:32:16.960 combined with

00:32:17.860 smugness.

00:32:19.760 And that's

00:32:20.480 what MSNBC

00:32:21.300 does.

00:32:22.120 They combine

00:32:22.960 it with the

00:32:23.420 smugness that

00:32:24.320 they're right.

00:32:25.620 And when you

00:32:26.100 add the mental

00:32:26.780 illness to the

00:32:27.580 smugness,

00:32:28.680 I can't stop

00:32:30.100 watching it.

00:32:31.700 Honestly,

00:32:32.960 I just want to

00:32:33.980 watch Lawrence

00:32:35.100 O'Donnell and

00:32:36.000 Rachel Maddow

00:32:37.220 with their

00:32:37.740 smug smile.

00:32:39.440 Well,

00:32:40.920 let me see if

00:32:41.920 I can do an

00:32:42.360 impression.

00:32:43.140 of being

00:32:44.140 crazy and

00:32:45.260 smug at the

00:32:45.880 same time.

00:32:47.720 Well,

00:32:49.260 I don't think

00:32:51.320 a lot of

00:32:51.640 Republicans

00:32:52.080 understand that

00:32:54.240 oil doesn't

00:32:55.000 even need to

00:32:55.400 be drilled

00:32:55.740 for.

00:32:56.080 It's free.

00:32:57.400 It's all over

00:32:58.100 the place.

00:32:58.580 It's on the

00:32:58.920 ground.

00:33:00.100 I've got oil

00:33:00.660 in my pocket.

00:33:03.400 And I

00:33:05.220 guess if you're

00:33:05.780 a Republican,

00:33:06.860 you think you

00:33:07.400 have to drill

00:33:08.980 holes in the

00:33:09.460 ground for it.

00:33:11.360 Am I right,

00:33:12.140 people?

00:33:13.140 They're out

00:33:13.580 there like

00:33:14.000 drilling holes

00:33:15.060 in the

00:33:15.300 ground.

00:33:17.760 Oh,

00:33:18.320 smugly.

00:33:19.680 I'm so

00:33:20.340 smug.

00:33:22.720 Oil's free.

00:33:24.140 Oil's free,

00:33:24.840 people.

00:33:25.960 It's laying

00:33:26.560 all over the

00:33:27.000 place.

00:33:27.700 In fact,

00:33:28.200 if you go

00:33:28.600 out in your

00:33:28.840 car,

00:33:29.820 you can go

00:33:30.500 out in your

00:33:30.740 car and it's

00:33:31.120 full of oil.

00:33:33.040 Does anybody

00:33:33.680 say that?

00:33:34.220 No.

00:33:34.820 No.

00:33:35.120 Does Trump

00:33:35.540 ever mention

00:33:36.140 that there's

00:33:37.440 oil right

00:33:37.860 there in

00:33:38.140 your car?

00:33:39.460 No.

00:33:39.880 He needs

00:33:40.180 to start

00:33:40.580 a war to

00:33:42.380 go look for

00:33:42.860 some oil

00:33:43.300 like a

00:33:43.680 dictator.

00:33:46.880 That's

00:33:47.240 how a

00:33:47.460 dictator

00:33:47.700 does.

00:33:49.620 They start

00:33:50.280 a war to

00:33:51.460 look for

00:33:51.820 oil, but

00:33:52.220 they don't

00:33:52.500 need to

00:33:52.820 because your

00:33:53.220 car has

00:33:53.680 oil right

00:33:54.200 in it.

00:33:55.080 If you

00:33:55.220 don't believe

00:33:55.560 me, open

00:33:56.600 the hood.

00:33:57.580 There's a

00:33:57.940 little round

00:33:58.280 thing.

00:33:58.580 You can

00:33:58.840 take that

00:33:59.320 out and

00:34:00.080 there's a

00:34:00.460 stick in

00:34:00.740 it.

00:34:01.520 It's called

00:34:02.060 the dip

00:34:02.380 stick, just

00:34:03.500 like President

00:34:04.080 Trump.

00:34:04.580 Am I

00:34:04.780 right?

00:34:07.080 Dipstick.

00:34:08.320 Well, isn't

00:34:08.860 that a

00:34:09.140 coincidence?

00:34:11.460 Yeah.

00:34:12.260 I think

00:34:12.900 that's enough

00:34:13.440 of Smug

00:34:14.360 Scott and

00:34:14.920 MSNBC.

00:34:18.420 Well,

00:34:18.980 Julian

00:34:19.280 Assange, of

00:34:19.860 course we're

00:34:20.280 going to

00:34:20.460 talk about

00:34:20.980 Iran and

00:34:21.660 Israel.

00:34:22.520 Of course

00:34:22.920 we are.

00:34:24.300 Of course

00:34:24.780 we are.

00:34:25.640 But it's

00:34:26.020 the most

00:34:26.280 boring war

00:34:26.940 ever so

00:34:27.460 far, so

00:34:28.060 it didn't

00:34:28.800 even get

00:34:29.200 in the

00:34:29.420 top ten

00:34:29.800 stories

00:34:30.200 today.

00:34:31.480 Israel,

00:34:32.220 Iran, you're

00:34:32.980 going to

00:34:33.240 need something

00:34:34.140 a little

00:34:36.100 more, you

00:34:36.960 know, a

00:34:38.480 little more

00:34:38.780 sizzle.

00:34:41.680 Oh, we

00:34:42.360 had a war

00:34:42.820 today, nobody

00:34:43.820 was killed.

00:34:46.520 Really?

00:34:48.200 And that's

00:34:48.960 supposed to

00:34:49.400 impress me?

00:34:50.840 You had a

00:34:51.260 war with

00:34:51.640 nobody killed?

00:34:52.120 We'll get

00:34:52.480 to it.

00:34:53.100 We'll get

00:34:53.600 to it.

00:34:53.920 It's just a

00:34:54.440 boring war.

00:34:55.920 It's going

00:34:56.500 to be, it's

00:34:57.420 coming up.

00:35:00.000 Julian

00:35:00.420 Assange warned

00:35:01.200 us a while

00:35:01.700 ago that the

00:35:02.600 goal of

00:35:03.680 war is

00:35:04.220 never to

00:35:04.720 end the

00:35:05.080 war, and

00:35:06.380 it's never

00:35:06.720 to win.

00:35:07.240 It's to

00:35:07.780 drain money

00:35:08.780 out of the

00:35:09.300 pockets of

00:35:09.880 the citizens

00:35:10.360 and put it

00:35:11.580 in the

00:35:11.860 pockets of

00:35:12.460 the powerful

00:35:13.040 people.

00:35:13.980 Is Julian

00:35:14.760 Assange wrong

00:35:15.580 that the

00:35:16.720 real purpose

00:35:17.420 of war is

00:35:18.040 to transfer

00:35:18.620 your money

00:35:19.180 to the rich

00:35:20.020 people who

00:35:20.480 already have

00:35:20.920 a lot?

00:35:22.540 He's not

00:35:23.280 wrong.

00:35:24.020 It's not the

00:35:24.660 only thing

00:35:25.120 happening.

00:35:26.820 But he's

00:35:27.420 not wrong,

00:35:28.740 meaning that it

00:35:29.660 does in

00:35:30.120 fact do

00:35:30.560 that, and

00:35:31.660 those powerful

00:35:32.280 people have

00:35:32.920 more control

00:35:33.640 over whether

00:35:34.140 we go to

00:35:34.580 war than

00:35:35.100 you do.

00:35:36.660 So it's

00:35:37.560 sort of

00:35:37.840 right.

00:35:38.720 It's not

00:35:39.100 the whole

00:35:39.400 story.

00:35:41.000 What are

00:35:41.400 you showing

00:35:41.740 me here?

00:35:44.720 Let me

00:35:45.080 look at

00:35:45.540 this.

00:35:48.600 The bright

00:35:49.340 side is

00:35:49.860 world wars

00:35:50.580 are the

00:35:50.840 only ones

00:35:51.280 we win.

00:35:52.000 Right.

00:35:53.000 Exactly.

00:35:53.480 All right.

00:35:58.320 We'll get

00:35:59.000 to that.

00:36:01.420 But did

00:36:02.180 you notice

00:36:02.620 that this

00:36:03.400 time Israel

00:36:04.920 put a price

00:36:05.600 tag on

00:36:06.560 their latest

00:36:07.000 action?

00:36:08.460 So Iran,

00:36:09.260 you know,

00:36:09.780 we'll talk

00:36:10.540 more, but

00:36:11.000 they sent

00:36:11.400 some missiles

00:36:11.900 and some

00:36:12.420 drones, and

00:36:13.180 Israel defeats

00:36:14.580 almost all of

00:36:15.260 them with

00:36:16.000 their help,

00:36:16.920 and then

00:36:18.100 they put a

00:36:18.480 price tag

00:36:18.920 on it.

00:36:19.680 They said,

00:36:20.220 well, it

00:36:20.720 costs a

00:36:21.160 little over

00:36:21.540 $1 billion

00:36:22.160 to defend.

00:36:24.100 Have you

00:36:24.620 ever seen

00:36:24.980 anybody put

00:36:26.200 a price tag

00:36:26.900 on a

00:36:27.280 single battle?

00:36:30.480 Has that

00:36:31.060 ever happened

00:36:31.480 before?

00:36:32.960 Do you know

00:36:33.560 why they put

00:36:33.940 a price tag

00:36:34.500 on it?

00:36:38.280 Because

00:36:38.720 they're asking

00:36:39.280 for money

00:36:39.900 from the

00:36:40.460 United States.

00:36:41.460 So Israel

00:36:42.020 put a price

00:36:42.640 tag on

00:36:43.100 their action.

00:36:44.500 Well, here's

00:36:44.900 another billion

00:36:45.440 dollars.

00:36:45.920 That's why

00:36:46.220 we're asking

00:36:46.620 for money.

00:36:48.040 Now, the

00:36:48.820 fact that

00:36:49.240 they had

00:36:49.660 the guts

00:36:50.640 to put a

00:36:51.820 price tag

00:36:52.360 on that,

00:36:53.480 is number

00:36:54.940 one, really

00:36:55.780 good persuasion.

00:36:58.400 It's very

00:36:59.060 good persuasion

00:36:59.840 because it

00:37:01.320 fits with

00:37:01.820 their

00:37:02.000 trying to

00:37:02.520 get funding,

00:37:03.160 et cetera.

00:37:04.320 But it's

00:37:05.920 so on the

00:37:06.560 nose.

00:37:07.860 The trouble

00:37:08.400 is that when

00:37:09.000 you've got

00:37:09.380 this Assange

00:37:10.080 quote sitting

00:37:10.860 out there,

00:37:11.820 that it's

00:37:12.040 really all

00:37:12.520 about transferring

00:37:13.380 money to rich

00:37:14.160 people, and

00:37:15.180 then Israel

00:37:15.660 gives you a

00:37:16.180 price tag for

00:37:16.900 the battle,

00:37:17.320 people, and

00:37:19.180 it's over

00:37:19.560 a billion

00:37:19.920 dollars, that

00:37:21.920 does really

00:37:22.520 play to

00:37:23.020 Assange's

00:37:23.820 view that

00:37:24.700 maybe these

00:37:26.220 wars are a

00:37:26.800 little more

00:37:27.200 optional than

00:37:28.100 they're

00:37:28.500 presented to

00:37:29.100 us.

00:37:30.080 Now, I'm

00:37:31.460 no fool, so

00:37:32.420 I know the

00:37:32.880 Middle East is

00:37:33.400 complicated, and

00:37:34.220 it's not all

00:37:34.780 about the

00:37:35.200 money, but

00:37:36.360 the money is

00:37:36.940 always going to

00:37:37.440 be a big

00:37:37.860 part of it.

00:37:39.280 It's not

00:37:40.040 nothing.

00:37:41.040 I don't think

00:37:41.680 it's most of

00:37:42.280 it, and I

00:37:42.700 don't think it's

00:37:43.120 the main reason

00:37:43.780 anybody's doing

00:37:44.340 anything.

00:37:44.680 But it's

00:37:46.040 a lot.

00:37:49.340 All right,

00:37:49.580 Bill Gates

00:37:50.040 and Jamie

00:37:51.940 Diamond both

00:37:53.300 think that

00:37:53.840 AI could lead

00:37:54.640 to shorter

00:37:55.080 work weeks.

00:37:56.100 I say those

00:37:57.020 are terrible

00:37:57.780 predictions because

00:38:00.260 billionaires don't

00:38:01.960 work less when

00:38:02.680 they become

00:38:03.100 billionaires.

00:38:05.000 The fact that

00:38:05.800 you're able to

00:38:06.700 work less doesn't

00:38:07.860 seem to be

00:38:08.480 related to how

00:38:09.160 much people

00:38:09.580 work.

00:38:10.920 Am I right?

00:38:11.780 I mean, Elon

00:38:12.280 Musk, he's not

00:38:13.000 taking a day

00:38:13.580 off.

00:38:13.860 Bill Gates

00:38:14.880 himself, he

00:38:15.620 just changed

00:38:16.120 what he did.

00:38:17.080 He changed

00:38:17.500 it to charity,

00:38:20.460 to giving it

00:38:20.920 away, but

00:38:21.360 he's still

00:38:22.380 working.

00:38:23.680 And Jamie

00:38:24.800 Diamond, does

00:38:25.640 Jamie Diamond

00:38:26.280 need to work?

00:38:27.900 How much

00:38:28.520 money does

00:38:28.960 Jamie Diamond

00:38:29.560 have?

00:38:29.960 He doesn't

00:38:30.260 need to work,

00:38:31.500 but he still

00:38:31.980 works.

00:38:32.860 So the very

00:38:33.660 people who are

00:38:34.260 saying that we're

00:38:34.860 going to work

00:38:35.340 less when we

00:38:37.120 don't need to

00:38:37.680 work are the

00:38:39.040 ones who are

00:38:39.580 working even

00:38:40.460 though they don't

00:38:40.960 need to work.

00:38:41.560 work, I feel

00:38:42.620 like they're

00:38:43.380 disproving their

00:38:44.140 own argument.

00:38:46.960 I don't need

00:38:47.720 to work, but

00:38:49.940 you see me here

00:38:50.580 literally seven

00:38:51.340 days a week.

00:38:52.440 I work seven

00:38:53.260 days a week, but

00:38:54.780 I don't need to.

00:38:56.740 It's just who I

00:38:57.620 am.

00:38:58.400 I wouldn't know

00:38:59.040 how to not

00:38:59.500 work.

00:39:00.440 So here's what I

00:39:01.180 think.

00:39:01.460 I think the

00:39:01.960 aggressive people

00:39:02.780 who need to

00:39:03.280 work for whatever

00:39:03.980 reason will use

00:39:05.900 AI to work their

00:39:07.180 usual long hours.

00:39:08.580 They'll just get

00:39:09.200 more done because

00:39:10.540 they have more

00:39:10.940 tools.

00:39:12.080 So no, it's

00:39:12.700 not going to, it

00:39:13.940 might actually take

00:39:14.920 the lazy people

00:39:15.700 down to three

00:39:16.320 days a week.

00:39:17.000 So I think

00:39:17.340 that's true.

00:39:18.380 But it will

00:39:20.980 just be an

00:39:21.440 acceleration of a

00:39:22.580 current trend,

00:39:23.400 which is the

00:39:23.880 aggressive people

00:39:24.540 keep working and

00:39:25.500 the lazy people

00:39:26.300 try to stop.

00:39:29.600 Facebook says

00:39:30.560 it's going to

00:39:31.760 spend $20

00:39:32.360 billion and

00:39:33.240 has 40,000

00:39:34.160 people working

00:39:34.880 on safeguarding

00:39:36.400 elections worldwide.

00:39:37.400 Okay, that

00:39:40.240 doesn't sound too

00:39:41.080 suspicious.

00:39:42.660 Let me pull some

00:39:43.800 things together for

00:39:44.680 you.

00:39:45.240 In our world, it's

00:39:46.560 almost impossible to

00:39:47.720 get as big as

00:39:48.420 Facebook or any

00:39:49.820 other big company

00:39:50.620 unless the

00:39:52.240 government is on

00:39:52.960 your side.

00:39:55.680 Right?

00:39:56.720 Because at some

00:39:57.640 point, you need to

00:39:58.840 be able to control

00:39:59.760 other countries and

00:40:01.920 the laws need to be

00:40:02.920 on your side and you

00:40:04.000 need to not get

00:40:04.700 sued for stuff.

00:40:05.640 And at some

00:40:06.800 point, you just

00:40:07.620 need to have the

00:40:08.640 government on your

00:40:09.300 side and they

00:40:09.960 know that.

00:40:11.380 So the government

00:40:11.960 and their spooks can

00:40:14.080 pretty much control

00:40:14.920 any large company

00:40:16.040 because any large

00:40:17.760 company needs the

00:40:18.560 government to be on

00:40:19.260 their side.

00:40:19.960 There's just too

00:40:20.400 many obstacles that

00:40:21.320 only a government

00:40:22.080 can remove.

00:40:23.800 So here we have

00:40:25.040 Zuckerberg who has

00:40:28.260 a social media

00:40:29.000 company that was

00:40:29.860 built for the

00:40:30.540 purpose of guys

00:40:31.460 trying to get laid

00:40:32.380 with other college

00:40:33.500 people.

00:40:34.560 people and

00:40:35.880 turned into this

00:40:36.580 behemoth and

00:40:38.000 now he wants to

00:40:38.760 spend 20 billion

00:40:39.700 and 40,000 people

00:40:41.100 to make sure that

00:40:42.380 elections in other

00:40:43.780 countries, this

00:40:44.600 isn't just about

00:40:45.280 America, people.

00:40:46.360 This is global.

00:40:49.420 And that Facebook

00:40:50.140 will have the

00:40:50.780 largest fact-checking

00:40:52.020 network with

00:40:53.240 partners in South

00:40:54.220 Africa, blah, blah,

00:40:56.320 blah.

00:40:56.420 And it seems to

00:41:00.960 me that what is

00:41:03.600 happening is that

00:41:04.520 the CIA has told

00:41:07.120 Facebook, you guys

00:41:08.780 couldn't possibly be

00:41:09.860 in business without

00:41:10.620 us and so you're

00:41:12.400 going to now help

00:41:13.040 us control the

00:41:13.880 governments and all

00:41:14.700 these other places.

00:41:15.960 If you can control

00:41:17.280 the media, meaning

00:41:19.240 the fact-checking

00:41:20.280 and the social media

00:41:21.740 online and the

00:41:22.700 news, if you can

00:41:23.940 control those things,

00:41:24.880 you don't need to

00:41:25.480 control the voting

00:41:26.800 machines.

00:41:28.140 You don't need to

00:41:29.180 have any miscounting

00:41:31.420 or shenanigans at

00:41:33.120 the vote if you've

00:41:34.480 controlled all of the

00:41:35.500 information up until

00:41:36.700 election day.

00:41:38.100 So here, right in

00:41:39.080 front of us, we see

00:41:40.340 this huge entity, which

00:41:41.780 almost certainly is

00:41:42.740 being driven by our

00:41:43.900 intelligence people,

00:41:45.480 creating a massive

00:41:46.420 structure to brainwash

00:41:48.640 people in our country

00:41:49.700 and other countries so

00:41:51.040 that the elections are

00:41:52.080 the unimportant part

00:41:53.180 of the process.

00:41:55.700 So the election, the

00:41:57.280 actual voting, is the

00:41:58.680 unimportant part of

00:41:59.600 the process.

00:42:00.400 The important part is

00:42:01.620 what people think,

00:42:03.620 because then the vote

00:42:04.420 just comes from that.

00:42:06.220 So changing how people

00:42:07.180 think is exactly what

00:42:09.680 Facebook is telling you

00:42:11.020 they're doing.

00:42:11.860 They're telling you

00:42:12.780 they're in the business

00:42:13.520 of mind control,

00:42:14.960 except they're phrasing

00:42:16.960 it as giving people

00:42:18.400 accurate information.

00:42:19.300 Do you think that's

00:42:20.980 the only goal, is to

00:42:22.300 give people accurate

00:42:23.140 information?

00:42:24.520 Well, I'm sure that

00:42:25.460 people working on this

00:42:26.420 think of it that way.

00:42:28.740 But no, it's to give

00:42:30.660 them accurate information

00:42:31.880 until they believe what

00:42:33.680 you're telling them, and

00:42:34.520 then you can tell them

00:42:35.300 anything, because you've

00:42:36.780 trained them that it's

00:42:37.500 accurate information.

00:42:39.060 As soon as people

00:42:39.800 believe it's accurate

00:42:40.660 information, you own

00:42:41.820 them.

00:42:43.180 Take Walter Cronkite.

00:42:45.080 When I grew up, and

00:42:47.220 even today, people say,

00:42:49.160 you know, Walter

00:42:49.760 Cronkite, he was the

00:42:51.400 real news.

00:42:53.180 And, you know, you got

00:42:54.520 the straight news, no

00:42:56.000 bias, that Walter

00:42:57.640 Cronkite, I wish we

00:42:59.880 could go back to those

00:43:00.680 times, because he

00:43:01.540 played it right down

00:43:02.520 the middle.

00:43:03.700 Now, look at Walter

00:43:04.880 Cronkite with the

00:43:06.580 benefit of the goggles

00:43:07.860 which you've learned to

00:43:08.980 wear in our modern

00:43:10.020 times.

00:43:11.300 Do you think there's

00:43:12.940 any chance at all that

00:43:14.180 Walter Cronkite was not

00:43:15.380 owned by our

00:43:16.180 intelligence people?

00:43:17.380 Does anybody think

00:43:19.640 that was honest and

00:43:20.800 unbalanced news?

00:43:22.660 Of course it wasn't.

00:43:24.860 Of course not.

00:43:26.560 It's never been.

00:43:28.340 Yeah.

00:43:30.340 Now, it does seem to

00:43:31.480 me that Walter Cronkite

00:43:33.420 was probably allowed to

00:43:34.640 tell the news just the

00:43:35.640 way he wanted to, 98%

00:43:37.820 of the time.

00:43:39.100 So if you're watching,

00:43:40.360 you know, some human

00:43:41.220 interest story or somebody

00:43:42.380 got murdered, it's

00:43:43.660 probably exactly what

00:43:44.640 happened.

00:43:44.960 It's only when

00:43:46.680 something matters, as

00:43:48.480 in what's the point of

00:43:49.600 this war or are we

00:43:51.300 winning the war?

00:43:52.760 Are we getting to

00:43:54.000 space?

00:43:54.400 Are we the greatest

00:43:55.080 country?

00:43:55.920 The things that the

00:43:57.060 intelligence people would

00:43:58.000 care about, there's no

00:43:59.680 way in the world he's

00:44:00.540 just winging in on those

00:44:01.620 things.

00:44:02.260 I think they're just

00:44:03.360 telling him what to

00:44:05.340 say and always have.

00:44:09.240 That's my view of the

00:44:10.200 world.

00:44:10.380 So, yes, when Facebook

00:44:12.840 says they're spending

00:44:13.580 $20 billion and have

00:44:14.820 40,000 people dedicated

00:44:16.800 to tell you what the

00:44:17.820 facts are, that means

00:44:20.200 that elections don't

00:44:21.040 matter anymore.

00:44:22.580 That's what it means.

00:44:24.020 Because if they can tell

00:44:25.300 you what the facts are,

00:44:26.620 they can tell you who's

00:44:27.820 going to win the next

00:44:28.560 election.

00:44:30.100 It's the same story.

00:44:32.460 All right.

00:44:34.260 Fog of war over in

00:44:35.500 Israel.

00:44:35.780 As you know, Israel

00:44:38.400 had, I don't know, a

00:44:40.560 few weeks ago, attacked

00:44:41.680 an Iranian asset in

00:44:45.700 another country, an

00:44:46.560 embassy or a consulate or

00:44:47.840 something, killed some

00:44:48.920 people.

00:44:49.660 So Iran said it had to

00:44:50.820 retaliate, and it did,

00:44:52.780 to ascend around, I

00:44:53.900 don't know, two to

00:44:54.480 three hundred projectiles.

00:44:56.700 So a bunch of drones and

00:44:58.060 a bunch of intercontinental

00:44:59.380 missiles.

00:45:00.720 Allegedly, America and UK

00:45:03.580 and Israel and some

00:45:05.260 other friends, knocked

00:45:06.880 down just about every

00:45:08.140 one of those drones and

00:45:09.580 missiles, only maybe a

00:45:10.860 couple got through,

00:45:12.220 causing minor damage,

00:45:13.920 nothing major.

00:45:16.420 Now, have you ever heard

00:45:18.500 the phrase, a theater of

00:45:21.600 war?

00:45:22.940 You used to hear a lot

00:45:23.900 about World War II.

00:45:26.260 It was like the Pacific

00:45:27.260 theater.

00:45:28.840 It was like a theater of

00:45:30.180 war.

00:45:30.460 Did you ever think that

00:45:33.400 was a weird kind of way

00:45:35.440 to say it?

00:45:36.600 Because theater seems like

00:45:37.720 acting, whereas war seems

00:45:39.440 like the most real thing

00:45:40.460 there could ever be.

00:45:41.720 It's a weird combination,

00:45:42.980 a theater of war.

00:45:44.900 But then you fast forward

00:45:46.340 to Israel and Iran, who

00:45:49.120 have apparently negotiated

00:45:50.480 the war in advance.

00:45:52.640 All right, guys, we're

00:45:53.940 going to take out one of

00:45:55.060 your consulate guys.

00:45:57.080 What you'll do is you'll

00:45:58.300 respond with a bunch of

00:45:59.260 missiles, but give us a

00:46:00.500 warning.

00:46:01.120 Make sure that we have

00:46:01.940 our anti-missile stuff in

00:46:04.180 place.

00:46:05.260 We'll shoot down your

00:46:06.500 missiles.

00:46:08.620 But if a few get through,

00:46:10.840 and we'll put a price tag

00:46:12.460 on it, make it sound

00:46:13.220 expensive and dangerous,

00:46:14.700 and then we might need to

00:46:16.460 respond also.

00:46:18.480 So we'll probably respond

00:46:19.840 in some way that's sort of

00:46:21.980 indirect and not quite

00:46:23.900 enough to start a war.

00:46:25.080 And it's literally theater.

00:46:29.400 It's literally theater.

00:46:31.320 It's two countries

00:46:32.300 pretending to be at war.

00:46:34.180 And not only are they

00:46:35.360 pretending, they're telling

00:46:37.120 us they're pretending, and

00:46:38.900 then they're doing it in

00:46:39.640 front of us.

00:46:41.220 I'm going to pretend to

00:46:42.460 fight back, because that's

00:46:44.200 how my population will feel

00:46:45.860 good that we did something.

00:46:47.580 All right, great.

00:46:48.400 We understand that this is a

00:46:49.720 pretend attack.

00:46:50.520 So we won't attack back

00:46:52.640 too hard.

00:46:54.120 But we might need to do a

00:46:57.340 little bit, just a little

00:46:59.040 mop-up pretend attack after

00:47:01.180 this.

00:47:02.400 And Iran would be, ah, we

00:47:04.420 thought that our pretend

00:47:05.340 attack would be all we

00:47:06.340 needed.

00:47:06.660 But I can see that a couple

00:47:08.260 of missiles got through.

00:47:09.680 Yeah.

00:47:10.760 Damn it.

00:47:11.520 You know, it wasn't as

00:47:12.260 clean as we hoped.

00:47:13.400 Yes, you're going to have

00:47:14.160 to probably, I don't know,

00:47:16.440 kill one of our people.

00:47:17.440 Am I wrong that that

00:47:19.840 entire attack from Iran

00:47:21.140 killed zero people?

00:47:23.100 It was one minor injury?

00:47:25.480 I'm not even sure about

00:47:26.480 that.

00:47:27.740 There were zero, it was a

00:47:29.260 major military action with

00:47:30.560 zero deaths.

00:47:32.220 That is a pretend war.

00:47:35.180 That's a pretend war.

00:47:38.480 Now, look at Assange.

00:47:41.200 Assange says that war is

00:47:42.560 basically to transfer assets

00:47:44.200 to other people.

00:47:45.640 Right.

00:47:47.440 Why do you fight a pretend

00:47:49.420 war other than some other

00:47:52.240 reason, like putting your

00:47:55.200 assets somewhere else?

00:47:57.160 I don't know.

00:47:57.940 It's all very pretend.

00:48:01.260 So here's what I think we

00:48:02.540 should do.

00:48:05.020 I think Israel should say

00:48:07.940 that Iran is the problem,

00:48:09.320 not the proxies, because

00:48:11.460 fighting each other's proxies

00:48:13.000 is a pretend war.

00:48:14.840 It's just theater.

00:48:15.620 Oh, I'll pretend I'm

00:48:17.380 fighting you by fighting

00:48:18.360 your proxy.

00:48:19.400 Well, damn you.

00:48:20.900 I'll pretend I'm fighting

00:48:22.020 back by fighting your

00:48:23.060 proxy.

00:48:25.500 But now you've got this

00:48:26.740 pretend attack on the

00:48:27.900 mainland.

00:48:29.280 Now, it was a real attack

00:48:30.760 on, you know, the actual

00:48:32.280 homeland of Israel.

00:48:33.560 But because both sides knew

00:48:35.740 that their anti-drone

00:48:38.100 defenses would be really

00:48:39.280 good, drones move slowly,

00:48:41.380 I think everybody knew it

00:48:43.780 was going to end this way

00:48:44.640 with not much in the way of

00:48:45.800 damage.

00:48:46.520 So that's kind of a pretend

00:48:47.820 war.

00:48:48.940 But here's how Israel can make

00:48:50.480 it real, if they wanted to.

00:48:53.380 I think Israel should demand

00:48:55.400 reparations from Iran, because

00:48:58.060 Iran has been their nemesis for

00:49:00.800 years and caused all of their

00:49:02.300 expenses.

00:49:03.540 Iran caused them to spend a

00:49:04.920 billion dollars to defend

00:49:06.160 itself.

00:49:07.220 Iran causes it to defend

00:49:08.860 itself against Hezbollah,

00:49:10.160 because they back them.

00:49:11.560 October 7th was because of

00:49:13.220 Iran's backing.

00:49:14.140 Every terrorist attack is

00:49:15.460 because of Iran.

00:49:17.420 So here's what you do.

00:49:19.440 You take Gaza, and you call

00:49:21.920 it reparations.

00:49:23.500 And you say, hey, all you

00:49:25.080 people, if you want to

00:49:26.280 resettle, Iran is the cause

00:49:28.540 of this.

00:49:29.520 Iran needs to take you.

00:49:31.080 And if they don't take you,

00:49:32.060 we'll just leave you in these

00:49:32.980 camps.

00:49:34.580 Forever.

00:49:35.020 Forever.

00:49:36.220 So, because your home is in

00:49:37.340 Iran now.

00:49:38.420 If you let Iran be your

00:49:39.820 daddy, well, you live with

00:49:41.900 your daddy.

00:49:43.420 All right?

00:49:44.140 Israel isn't your daddy.

00:49:46.420 Your daddy funded your war.

00:49:48.680 Go live with your daddy.

00:49:50.480 And we don't care if you do or

00:49:51.680 you don't.

00:49:52.720 But one thing for sure is you

00:49:54.940 just gave away Gaza forever.

00:49:57.240 Gaza will become an Israeli

00:49:58.620 property.

00:50:00.080 Managed by Israelis, and I'm not

00:50:01.840 even sure any Palestinians or

00:50:03.460 Hamas people will ever be let

00:50:05.060 back in.

00:50:06.180 Because we got fucking

00:50:08.360 nothing from trying to make

00:50:10.740 peace.

00:50:11.740 We got fucking nothing.

00:50:14.020 So we're just going to take

00:50:14.980 Gaza.

00:50:16.460 And anybody who complains,

00:50:18.060 complain to Iran.

00:50:20.060 You can take your complaint to

00:50:21.380 Iran.

00:50:21.740 I'm not even going to answer

00:50:22.440 your question.

00:50:23.600 Blah, blah, blah.

00:50:24.580 Bad things happened to the

00:50:26.500 Gazans.

00:50:27.080 Yes, it did.

00:50:28.160 Terrible things happened to

00:50:29.240 them.

00:50:29.740 Talk to Iran.

00:50:30.400 Again, we're done pretending

00:50:32.920 this is our fault.

00:50:34.880 Now, in the real world, is

00:50:36.780 Israel at fault for the current

00:50:38.480 situation?

00:50:39.120 Of course.

00:50:40.440 Of course.

00:50:43.280 They are our ally.

00:50:45.920 But did they participate in

00:50:48.480 creating the current situation?

00:50:50.000 Of course.

00:50:51.220 Are there any innocent people?

00:50:52.640 I don't think so.

00:50:54.100 No.

00:50:54.440 I think everybody there sucks,

00:50:55.780 basically.

00:50:56.980 Just in different ways.

00:50:57.960 I'm talking about the

00:50:58.640 government, not the people.

00:51:00.080 People are fine.

00:51:01.440 I like the people.

00:51:03.260 But, you know, governments are

00:51:04.580 sketchy organizations, and

00:51:06.720 especially if you're in a

00:51:07.920 sketchy part of the world.

00:51:11.160 So if Israel wants to be

00:51:13.780 serious about this, take Gaza,

00:51:15.620 keep it, call it reparations,

00:51:18.560 and say, we'd like some more

00:51:20.980 land, too.

00:51:21.680 So if we want to keep going,

00:51:23.300 we'd like to own a little bit

00:51:24.800 of Lebanon.

00:51:27.340 Because Hezbollah's got some

00:51:28.560 nice property up there.

00:51:29.640 I'd hate to see them lose it.

00:51:32.820 See what I'm saying?

00:51:35.220 Israel has to get bigger every

00:51:36.700 time they get attacked.

00:51:37.760 Otherwise, it just happens

00:51:38.700 forever.

00:51:40.140 So I'm in favor of them just

00:51:42.340 keeping Gaza.

00:51:44.040 Do I think that that would

00:51:45.200 constitute a genocide?

00:51:47.180 Yes.

00:51:48.500 Yes, it would.

00:51:49.220 Do I think that going back to

00:51:54.400 the way it was is some kind

00:51:55.800 of an advantage?

00:51:56.600 No.

00:51:57.380 Going back to the way it was

00:51:58.680 will get you more of this.

00:52:00.700 There's nothing good going back

00:52:02.180 to the way it was.

00:52:03.700 Repopulating it would be just

00:52:04.980 stupid.

00:52:07.280 So you need a good excuse for

00:52:09.260 not repopulating it and keeping

00:52:10.900 it.

00:52:12.040 And Iran just gave you one.

00:52:13.200 They just attacked your

00:52:14.440 homeland.

00:52:15.520 You attack your homeland, we're

00:52:17.460 going to send you back your

00:52:18.400 people.

00:52:19.360 I know they're not your

00:52:20.340 people, but they are now.

00:52:22.460 Because we can't take care of

00:52:24.780 them and we don't have the

00:52:26.240 resources.

00:52:27.380 But Iran does.

00:52:28.620 So maybe Iran should take care

00:52:29.980 of their people instead of

00:52:31.500 putting them in a situation

00:52:32.440 where they can only die.

00:52:39.640 All right.

00:52:40.720 Scott is a bit weak on that

00:52:42.480 idea.

00:52:44.460 How about you use a not

00:52:46.140 fucked up word for your

00:52:48.060 opinion?

00:52:49.380 How about you say what you

00:52:50.580 think is important that

00:52:52.520 hasn't been mentioned instead

00:52:54.200 of saying I'm weak on it like

00:52:56.360 a fucking turd?

00:52:58.520 How about not saying that

00:52:59.620 while I'm sitting there reading

00:53:00.680 the comments in front of you?

00:53:02.020 If I weren't here, that would

00:53:03.200 be a perfectly fine thing to

00:53:05.160 say.

00:53:06.200 Like if you talk about somebody

00:53:07.420 who's not going to read it, you

00:53:08.380 say, well, they're weak on that

00:53:09.560 topic.

00:53:10.900 But I'm right here in front of

00:53:12.260 you.

00:53:12.440 So if you say I'm weak on it

00:53:16.760 and you don't tell me what is

00:53:18.720 the objection, you're just being

00:53:20.660 an asshole.

00:53:22.900 So I'm going to call you out on

00:53:24.140 that.

00:53:26.760 I need reparations from the King

00:53:28.480 of England.

00:53:30.640 Yes, you do.

00:53:34.140 All right.

00:53:34.680 That's my idea.

00:53:37.440 Hezbollah got in on the airstrikes.

00:53:39.160 They don't know that their real

00:53:40.340 state's at risk now.

00:53:42.080 Now, I do understand that Israel

00:53:43.420 tried to occupy some of Lebanon

00:53:45.560 at one point and it was just

00:53:47.580 untenable.

00:53:49.720 So that's a different situation.

00:53:51.440 But they've already essentially

00:53:53.140 conquered Gaza and depopulated it.

00:53:55.980 So that's it.

00:53:56.820 I wouldn't compare that to Lebanon.

00:54:00.680 All right.

00:54:01.320 Israel pledged an unprecedented

00:54:04.040 response to Iran's attack.

00:54:07.260 What do you think would be an

00:54:08.580 unprecedented response?

00:54:12.120 Keep in Gaza.

00:54:13.700 Just say, all right, we're just

00:54:15.180 going to keep Gaza.

00:54:16.520 There'd never be a better time to

00:54:17.760 do it.

00:54:20.520 Thomas Massey is quite sure that

00:54:22.480 the Israel situation is going to

00:54:24.800 lead to funding Israel and then

00:54:26.800 making it a package to fund

00:54:28.160 Ukraine.

00:54:29.860 And they'll be they'll be

00:54:31.280 packaged together because that's

00:54:32.720 how the people who like wars can

00:54:35.440 get their war.

00:54:36.380 They'll make one of them

00:54:37.480 irresistible and package it with

00:54:39.360 the one that's resistible.

00:54:41.700 So that's going to happen.

00:54:43.980 Yes, Massey, you're completely

00:54:45.460 right.

00:54:48.800 Elon Musk said in a just sort of an

00:54:51.920 offhand quip to a question that

00:54:54.360 AI will run the U.S.

00:54:55.660 government by 2032.

00:54:57.260 Now, I'll vote against that

00:55:00.600 prediction.

00:55:03.280 I don't think there's any chance

00:55:04.640 we're going to give up the country

00:55:06.560 to AI in 2032.

00:55:08.720 But it's a provocative thing to say.

00:55:10.720 I'm not sure he was totally serious

00:55:12.500 when he said it, but it's

00:55:13.560 it's a it's a head scratcher.

00:55:16.960 I mean, when it comes from Musk,

00:55:18.800 I think what he's responding to is

00:55:21.800 the fact that by 2032,

00:55:23.400 AI will be so super intelligent

00:55:26.000 that we'd wish it were running the

00:55:29.000 country.

00:55:29.740 But we're not going to let it.

00:55:31.500 That's a different thing.

00:55:34.260 At a Trump rally, people started,

00:55:37.260 I guess last night, people started

00:55:38.960 chanting, genocide, Joe.

00:55:41.780 And Trump let them chant, as he

00:55:45.880 sometimes does, you know, he walks

00:55:47.820 away from the podium for a moment

00:55:49.620 to let the crowd do its thing.

00:55:51.740 And they're chanting, genocide, Joe.

00:55:54.140 And then.

00:55:57.960 And then what Trump said was, you

00:56:00.260 know, they're not wrong.

00:56:01.920 He goes, they're not wrong.

00:56:04.160 But you see the problem here.

00:56:07.900 The problem here is that he sided

00:56:10.160 with the people saying it's

00:56:11.380 genocide.

00:56:11.820 And he doesn't want to do that

00:56:16.240 because he's calling our ally Israel

00:56:19.780 a genocidal company or, you know,

00:56:23.500 country.

00:56:24.340 So I think that he was just

00:56:26.680 operating on feel and instinct when

00:56:29.140 he agreed with the crowd because

00:56:31.400 he's going to read in the crowd and

00:56:32.900 getting them on his side.

00:56:34.800 But I feel like he's going to have to

00:56:36.900 fix that.

00:56:37.880 He's probably going to have to have

00:56:40.980 a statement that says the

00:56:43.260 genocide is just the fact that

00:56:45.260 there's a war in general.

00:56:47.560 So whatever you call the

00:56:49.040 genocide, you could just say it's

00:56:51.620 the war.

00:56:52.540 So, yes, Biden is responsible for

00:56:54.500 all the war bad.

00:56:55.820 But technically, let's not call it a

00:56:57.920 genocide.

00:56:58.640 But, you know, it's a funny

00:57:00.200 nickname.

00:57:02.260 So I think he might have a little

00:57:03.920 explaining to do on that because

00:57:06.060 it's not always about the nickname.

00:57:08.420 It has to

00:57:08.800 has to be compatible with his

00:57:10.960 actual philosophy.

00:57:15.100 I'm going to say this again until

00:57:16.600 I get an answer.

00:57:17.740 How do I process the fact that

00:57:20.060 pollsters are telling us

00:57:21.320 unambiguously that Trump is

00:57:23.780 gaining with black and Hispanic

00:57:25.520 voters big time?

00:57:28.120 But yet he's tied with Joe Biden.

00:57:31.860 Who is he losing?

00:57:32.860 What story or trend?

00:57:40.020 He's not losing women because that

00:57:41.900 would be a story.

00:57:43.620 If Trump were bleeding female

00:57:46.060 support, there would be a story just

00:57:48.740 like there's a story that he's

00:57:49.920 gaining blacks and Hispanics.

00:57:53.960 Right?

00:57:55.160 That would be a national headline

00:57:56.760 almost every day if he were losing

00:57:59.260 female support at some significant

00:58:00.860 significant level.

00:58:02.100 Who is he losing?

00:58:03.680 Here's what it feels like.

00:58:05.740 It feels like this is your tell

00:58:07.760 that polling isn't real.

00:58:11.780 Because it can't be real.

00:58:13.360 It can't be true that he's losing

00:58:14.820 substantial parts of his most

00:58:17.160 important, you know, the bulwark of

00:58:19.200 the Democrat power base.

00:58:21.640 At the same time, he's not making any

00:58:24.000 difference at the top line.

00:58:26.040 It can't be that the bottom lines are

00:58:27.820 all moving.

00:58:28.340 The top line is stable.

00:58:29.540 Well, what's going on?

00:58:31.820 And by the way, I'm looking at your

00:58:32.840 comments right now.

00:58:33.600 You have no idea, do you?

00:58:36.280 Losing suburban women.

00:58:38.500 Is that the story?

00:58:39.600 Losing suburban women?

00:58:41.460 Because I thought he'd already lost

00:58:43.500 them.

00:58:47.240 Are you sure that's not just a

00:58:48.660 continuation of the forever story

00:58:50.860 that he doesn't have suburban women?

00:58:53.060 Are they actually moving?

00:58:54.580 Yeah, I know.

00:58:58.620 So let's look into it.

00:59:00.060 Let's look into suburban women and

00:59:02.180 see if that's a move.

00:59:03.300 I feel like they're not moving.

00:59:05.960 Like, that doesn't feel real to me.

00:59:08.320 I feel like, you know, a lot of them

00:59:10.520 are Democrat, but I don't feel like

00:59:11.780 they're moving.

00:59:13.860 I don't know.

00:59:15.600 Why would they not already be there?

00:59:17.760 It doesn't make sense.

00:59:18.600 Well, Libs of TikTok is showing a

00:59:23.880 clip about, there's a, what they

00:59:27.240 would call a male, a trans, trans

00:59:30.500 athlete competing in a girls varsity,

00:59:33.760 200 meters in Oregon.

00:59:35.840 And the trans athlete set a new record

00:59:39.220 for the girls.

00:59:41.240 The trans athlete, like, just

00:59:43.100 practically, they lapped the field.

00:59:44.500 And it's pretty hilarious when you

00:59:47.180 look at it, because

00:59:48.680 pretty big difference in performance.

00:59:52.520 Now, there are many ways to look at

00:59:54.860 these stories.

00:59:56.860 And I, you know, one way is, my God,

00:59:59.380 what's happening to the country?

01:00:01.720 That's one way.

01:00:02.740 Another is, this is so unfair for the

01:00:05.720 women.

01:00:06.940 And I totally get that.

01:00:08.800 I totally get that.

01:00:11.060 But I prefer to take the more

01:00:12.760 optimistic view.

01:00:14.500 If you don't mind, you know,

01:00:17.320 nothing's, nothing's terribly all

01:00:19.500 wrong and or all good.

01:00:21.620 There's always an upside.

01:00:23.100 Do you mind if I take the optimistic

01:00:24.740 view of this?

01:00:26.740 Well, in my lifetime, I've seen

01:00:29.080 women make tremendous gains.

01:00:32.120 And I think most anybody in my age

01:00:34.060 group would say the same thing.

01:00:35.560 You know, I went from a world in

01:00:37.080 which, you know, women really

01:00:39.180 couldn't work any job they wanted.

01:00:41.480 There really wasn't an option.

01:00:43.020 But now it is.

01:00:43.720 In fact, women are doing better in

01:00:45.260 college, better at buying their first

01:00:47.440 homes.

01:00:48.800 Women are doing great.

01:00:50.720 So women are higher educated,

01:00:53.260 less crime than men.

01:00:56.180 Certainly, DEI is helping them in

01:00:58.380 employment and doing great.

01:01:00.440 But, but what about men?

01:01:04.500 Here's what I say.

01:01:06.060 I believe that men have what I call

01:01:08.140 an indomitable spirit.

01:01:10.100 And you can, you can try to hold men

01:01:13.900 down and you can say, men, we're going

01:01:17.360 to, white men, white men, we're going

01:01:20.380 to take your jobs.

01:01:21.840 We're going to give them to people of

01:01:24.380 color and women.

01:01:26.320 But you're just going to have to put up

01:01:28.040 with it, men.

01:01:28.540 And I think the white men said,

01:01:32.540 huh, what if we don't?

01:01:35.540 What if we decided that we don't want

01:01:37.280 to lose?

01:01:39.500 And what if we want to win this race so

01:01:41.800 badly that we will remove our penis just

01:01:44.880 to do it?

01:01:47.360 So you might say to yourself, my God, this

01:01:49.760 is so unfair to women.

01:01:50.780 And you'd be right.

01:01:52.560 You might say to yourself, this is, it

01:01:54.980 makes a mockery of sports.

01:01:56.840 You'd be right.

01:01:58.620 But I think you have to appreciate how

01:02:01.340 hard men will try to win when the rules

01:02:03.960 are against them.

01:02:05.320 All right, here are the rules.

01:02:07.520 You can't win.

01:02:10.340 Well, what if I change some things?

01:02:13.300 Like what?

01:02:14.360 My penis.

01:02:14.980 If I get rid of my penis, can I win?

01:02:18.600 Well, maybe.

01:02:20.520 Well, here's how I summarize this entire

01:02:23.840 situation over the years.

01:02:26.760 Women, take a back seat, men.

01:02:29.700 This is our time.

01:02:31.400 Men, hold my baton.

01:02:36.740 That's all.

01:02:37.360 That's the summary.

01:02:38.480 That whole thing was just to work

01:02:39.740 over that one joke.

01:02:41.260 Hold my baton.

01:02:42.840 That's it.

01:02:44.020 Yeah.

01:02:44.420 The whole thing was just for that one

01:02:46.420 joke.

01:02:47.060 If it didn't pay off, I'm sorry.

01:02:48.280 All right, J.D. Vance is talking about

01:02:51.380 Ukraine and says funding Ukraine is

01:02:53.580 crazy because they don't have soldiers

01:02:56.220 and we can only make about 10% of the

01:03:00.020 artillery that they'll ever need.

01:03:02.400 So they can never, they'll never have

01:03:04.600 an offensive option.

01:03:05.720 So this is J.D. Vance's analysis.

01:03:10.540 They'll never have an offensive option

01:03:13.300 because they won't have the soldiers.

01:03:16.080 And there's nobody left.

01:03:17.520 They just don't have enough people left.

01:03:19.700 And we can't make more than, say, 10% of

01:03:23.180 the artillery they need for the next few years.

01:03:25.060 So he suggests that they use the Russia

01:03:29.680 strategy, which is dig in, you know, create

01:03:32.120 defensive lines that the Russians would be

01:03:34.260 crazy to assault, just as the Ukrainians

01:03:37.340 were crazy to assault the dug-in Russian

01:03:40.060 positions.

01:03:41.360 Now, this, of course, would lead you toward

01:03:43.380 a negotiated settlement once you realize that

01:03:46.400 neither side can beat the other.

01:03:48.580 So I think J.D. Vance did a good job here.

01:03:53.200 By the way, what's his background?

01:03:55.720 I know he's an author.

01:03:57.280 But wasn't he working for Peter Thiel?

01:04:00.860 J.D. Vance?

01:04:03.080 Do I have that right?

01:04:05.160 And what was, what's his educational background?

01:04:08.380 Harvard?

01:04:10.380 What was his major?

01:04:13.140 Lawyer?

01:04:14.580 So he's a Harvard lawyer?

01:04:18.420 Harvard-trained lawyer.

01:04:19.940 And then he worked for Peter Thiel.

01:04:22.580 Oh, he was, I thought he was a V-Saint.

01:04:25.060 He, right.

01:04:26.340 Okay, that's what I was looking for.

01:04:27.920 Peter Thiel, venture capitalist.

01:04:29.760 J.D. Vance worked for him, even though his

01:04:31.760 background is Harvard lawyer.

01:04:33.940 He no doubt learned to think like a venture

01:04:36.080 capitalist.

01:04:36.500 And when I look at his analysis,

01:04:37.760 and when I look at his analysis,

01:04:40.200 I say to myself, holy cow,

01:04:44.520 somebody who knows how to analyze things

01:04:46.520 just analyzes something.

01:04:48.040 Do you know how rare that is?

01:04:50.160 How rare is that that somebody who knows

01:04:52.340 how to analyze something

01:04:53.520 analyzes something?

01:04:55.280 Do you know who else is good at this?

01:04:57.760 Thomas Massey, MIT, engineer.

01:05:01.280 When he analyzes something,

01:05:04.300 you say to yourself, oh,

01:05:06.300 a good analyzer just analyzed something.

01:05:08.740 So you should listen to that.

01:05:10.460 But if you see somebody telling you

01:05:12.720 the moon is made of gas,

01:05:15.100 maybe don't listen to that one.

01:05:17.720 But you should know who are the ones

01:05:19.680 who actually know what they're talking about.

01:05:21.600 And if you're trained as an engineer

01:05:23.420 or a venture capitalist,

01:05:25.120 you probably know how to look at the costs

01:05:27.740 and the benefits.

01:05:28.700 That's what they do.

01:05:30.600 They're trained to.

01:05:31.600 Same with the economics people.

01:05:34.680 So I always say that people think

01:05:36.860 they know how to analyze situations.

01:05:40.720 But they don't.

01:05:42.340 I was going to name a name,

01:05:43.760 but I'm not going to do it.

01:05:44.780 There's somebody who's well known

01:05:47.120 on the conservative libertarian side of things

01:05:50.080 who is very strident in analyzing

01:05:54.580 the situation in public

01:05:56.200 and doesn't have any skill at it.

01:06:00.020 And I keep wanting to not be a jerk

01:06:02.740 and point it out.

01:06:05.940 So I'm not going to name a name.

01:06:07.740 But there's somebody in the public domain

01:06:10.260 who is so unqualified

01:06:11.860 for looking at the big situations.

01:06:15.600 They just don't have the skill.

01:06:18.480 And, well, you know,

01:06:20.600 no, it's not Tucker.

01:06:21.480 Somebody said, is it Tucker?

01:06:22.800 You know what Tucker does?

01:06:24.920 Tucker has humility.

01:06:26.660 And that goes a long way.

01:06:28.880 See if you agree.

01:06:29.960 When he's right,

01:06:30.960 of course, he can be cocky

01:06:33.000 when he knows he's right.

01:06:35.120 But Tucker will be the first person

01:06:37.200 to tell you why he doesn't understand.

01:06:41.140 That goes a long way for credibility.

01:06:43.720 Am I right?

01:06:45.160 When there's something he doesn't understand,

01:06:47.180 like, you know,

01:06:47.900 the deep economics of something,

01:06:50.160 he'll just tell you.

01:06:51.480 I don't know why this isn't the thing.

01:06:54.080 This is all I know.

01:06:55.300 I'm just watching like you are.

01:06:57.600 So the thing about Tucker

01:06:58.900 is that he talks about the news

01:07:02.500 like he was watching it at home.

01:07:06.740 But better than you.

01:07:08.360 Right?

01:07:08.740 Because he's smarter.

01:07:09.680 So, and that's real valuable.

01:07:13.660 That's sort of what I try to do.

01:07:15.320 I try to watch it

01:07:16.280 like I'm watching at home with you,

01:07:18.360 but that I can add maybe some,

01:07:20.760 you know, analytical things

01:07:22.500 just because I'm trained to do it.

01:07:24.740 If you're not trained to do it,

01:07:26.100 you think you can,

01:07:27.900 but you can't.

01:07:29.720 So I'm not going to name names,

01:07:31.180 but you'll notice them.

01:07:32.740 Anyway, J.D. Vance

01:07:33.740 apparently is trained to do this.

01:07:36.360 Thomas Massey apparently is trained

01:07:39.380 to look at complicated pictures

01:07:41.980 and see both sides.

01:07:43.520 So pay attention to that.

01:07:44.780 Give them a little more attention.

01:07:46.640 If you see somebody who

01:07:48.220 has a background

01:07:50.120 that doesn't include those skills,

01:07:52.480 take that into consideration.

01:07:54.260 All right.

01:08:01.680 Ladies and gentlemen,

01:08:04.900 Scott, you're confusing J.D. Vance

01:08:06.560 with Blake Masters.

01:08:08.660 Well, I read today

01:08:09.700 that he worked for Peter Thiel.

01:08:11.880 Did I get that wrong?

01:08:14.980 Give me a fact check before I go

01:08:16.640 because that's a good,

01:08:17.520 that's a really good question.

01:08:19.860 Did I get that wrong?

01:08:21.120 Because I think they both worked

01:08:22.360 for Peter Thiel.

01:08:24.260 Give me a fact check on that.

01:08:28.600 I don't want to get something

01:08:29.720 that important wrong.

01:08:31.160 So make sure.

01:08:34.880 Okay.

01:08:35.460 Yes.

01:08:36.000 All right.

01:08:36.620 So they both work for Peter Thiel,

01:08:38.140 so I'm not confusing them.

01:08:42.840 Yeah.

01:08:43.280 They both work for Thiel.

01:08:45.920 I think that's all we need.
