Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2451 CWSA 04⧸21⧸24

00:00:00.000 Team jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:02.960 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:04.580 I like coffee.

00:00:05.900 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:10.800 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:12.620 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:14.620 It happens now.

00:00:16.560 Go.

00:00:23.160 Every morning I get the no sound troll.

00:00:26.920 Somebody comes in every day.

00:00:28.320 No sound.

00:00:29.400 There's no sound.

00:00:33.040 However, thanks to Paul, I have a system now so I can ignore those.

00:00:39.220 All right.

00:00:39.740 Here's some news.

00:00:41.060 The news that you need to know.

00:00:42.980 This is the important news.

00:00:44.400 The news that will change your life.

00:00:45.920 The most important things of the day.

00:00:47.600 Are you ready?

00:00:48.100 Number one, there's a new study that says marijuana makes you smarter.

00:00:54.440 Specifically, cannabis users scored significantly higher.

00:01:02.260 Did I say significantly higher?

00:01:05.120 On measures of emotional comprehension compared to non-users.

00:01:09.020 So, in other words, cannabis users appear to have an enhanced ability to understand other people's emotions.

00:01:17.640 That's right.

00:01:19.660 Cannabis users seem to be able to understand other people's emotions better than other people.

00:01:25.040 Now, I know what you're going to say.

00:01:29.320 You're going to say, but Scott, why is it that when the study is something you don't want to hear, you always say, it's probably a correlation and not a causation.

00:01:41.300 But when it's something that you do want to hear, oh, suddenly it's all causation.

00:01:48.220 Do you know why I know that you're thinking that?

00:01:52.040 I'll tell you how I know.

00:01:54.340 You want to guess how I know what you're thinking?

00:01:58.540 Turns out I've got this enhanced ability to understand other people's emotions.

00:02:04.100 I don't know what caused it, but very high emotional ability.

00:02:10.120 Yeah.

00:02:11.300 I don't know where it came from.

00:02:13.140 Could be a coincidence.

00:02:14.580 You never know.

00:02:17.300 Well, Tucker Carlson on Joe Rogan said, among other things, that he doesn't believe in evolution.

00:02:24.960 He believes that God created people.

00:02:27.960 And if it was good enough for people to think that for thousands of years before science, well, it's good enough after science, too, says Tucker.

00:02:36.700 Now, and he says there's no evidence of evolution, only adaptation.

00:02:41.840 Now, if you only saw the news that comes from the traditional news, do you think that's true?

00:02:51.400 Tell me true or false.

00:02:52.820 Do you believe that there is evidence of evolution or, as Tucker says, there's no evidence of evolution, only adaptation?

00:03:02.820 Well, I'm not going to have that argument, but I will tell you, well, let me put it this way.

00:03:11.160 Well, I've seen claims that evolution has not proven, you know, long documentaries.

00:03:18.200 I've seen the interviews with people who claimed it, but I can't evaluate either claim.

00:03:23.720 So, I'm not really qualified to evaluate that.

00:03:28.320 But I'm going to tell you about fake news.

00:03:31.680 So, because of the story about Tucker saying he doesn't believe in evolution, I saw a comment on the X platform that if you saw, you would probably believe.

00:03:41.860 So, it's just from a user, Eric Oskin.

00:03:44.940 And Eric commented on Tucker's comment and said this, I feel like Tucker's confidence in this may come from listening to Scott Adams, who, despite the many smart things he says, also regularly claims that, quote, and this is put in quotes so you know that I said it, scientists no longer believe Darwin's theory of evolution, unquote.

00:04:08.640 Both are simply wrong on this score.

00:04:10.660 So, those of you who have been following me for years and years, do you believe that I ever said this thing in quotes, scientists no longer believe Darwin's theory of evolution?

00:04:25.220 Have any of you ever heard me say that?

00:04:27.040 Because according to Eric, I say that on a regular basis.

00:04:31.640 And you watch me every day.

00:04:33.760 Have you ever seen me say it?

00:04:37.500 No. 0.99

00:04:38.300 I would never say anything that dumb. 0.99

00:04:41.060 Of course scientists believe in evolution. 0.99

00:04:43.840 Of course they do.

00:04:45.420 Now, here's your tip on fake news.

00:04:48.460 If you read this with no context, would you have believed it?

00:04:55.540 If you saw it with no context, would you?

00:04:58.660 Because it's in quotes.

00:05:00.440 It's a quote, like I said those exact words.

00:05:03.380 I never said those words.

00:05:06.620 Do you know what I have said?

00:05:08.360 You probably do.

00:05:09.140 I have said that evolution is disproven in scientific terms.

00:05:15.660 That is not the same as saying that scientists don't believe in evolution.

00:05:23.440 You all understand that, right?

00:05:25.300 Here's what I mean by scientific terms.

00:05:27.340 One of the things that science accepts is probability and math that's sort of assumed to be, you know, critical parts of science.

00:05:38.100 And based on what we understand about the simulation theory and the Elon Musk math on that, that if it's possible to ever do it, there will be lots of simulations.

00:05:49.300 So the odds of you being in a simulation will be, you know, a trillion to one or a billion to one against you being an original species.

00:05:57.180 Now, if we're a simulation, then that means that anything we thought about or history is just made up.

00:06:02.660 So that's my view, that evolution exists within the model of our illusions, but it doesn't exist in the actual base reality.

00:06:13.560 It's just something we create on demand.

00:06:15.780 So in my view, the fossil is not in the dirt until you start digging for it.

00:06:22.640 If nobody's ever seen it, it doesn't exist until you dig for it.

00:06:27.480 So I think the past is created by the present and that the odds are, I don't know, I'd say a trillion to one, maybe, maybe a billion to one, that we are a simulation.

00:06:37.360 And if we're a simulation, then evolution doesn't even make sense.

00:06:42.040 You know, everything else doesn't make sense either.

00:06:43.880 It's just a simulation.

00:06:44.740 Yeah.

00:06:46.760 So, do you remember Gelman theory or Gelman amnesia?

00:06:52.580 And that's the theory that if you know something personal about a story, you know it's fake.

00:06:57.680 But if you didn't know it personally, you'd think it's true.

00:07:01.940 So here's this user on the X platform who calls me out by name, says I've done things multiple times, which makes you think it's not misunderstood.

00:07:14.580 Because if you did something multiple times, it's not a misunderstanding, right?

00:07:20.160 Multiple times.

00:07:21.200 And that in quotes, because there are quotation marks around this thing I never said.

00:07:27.340 You would believe all that's true.

00:07:29.540 Not even close.

00:07:31.020 Not even close.

00:07:31.840 All right.

00:07:33.460 Self-driving cars are probably coming faster than you think.

00:07:36.680 So now Mercedes has an agreement in California, but only in California, that there's a new kind of Mercedes with a self-driving feature that you don't need to pay attention to.

00:07:51.680 So I think that's the first car with a steering wheel.

00:07:57.480 You know, that's meant to be sometimes driven and sometimes self-driving, that you can actually not pay attention to.

00:08:05.100 So legally, depending on what streets you're on, it'll tell you you don't have to pay attention, basically.

00:08:11.720 You can just do your own thing.

00:08:13.220 It'll call out to you when you need to pay attention.

00:08:15.820 So that sounds pretty dangerous.

00:08:17.260 So at this point, we've got the Waymo self-driving cars.

00:08:21.960 We've got Tesla's full self-driving FSD.

00:08:26.840 And in California, the Mercedes on some but not all streets are completely self-driving.

00:08:35.040 Now, as Elon said recently, it only makes sense from a business perspective to go balls to the wall, using his phrase, to go balls to the wall on self-driving.

00:08:46.500 Because there's no way, yeah, there's no way it's not going to be self-driving.

00:08:53.680 You'd agree with that, right?

00:08:56.220 And we're probably five years away from basically, you know, all cars having a self-driving option, I would think.

00:09:04.080 No more than five.

00:09:07.000 All right.

00:09:07.460 At the same time, there's a big advancement.

00:09:10.560 I think I mentioned this one before, but there's something new about it.

00:09:13.240 But in South Korea, they've made an advancement in sodium batteries.

00:09:19.600 So sodium is way more available than lithium.

00:09:23.660 So if they can make batteries out of sodium, that'd be cool.

00:09:28.000 But also, it could be charged really fast.

00:09:32.620 So they made a battery that you can charge really fast.

00:09:34.780 It isn't so heavy that you couldn't use it in a car, and it's way more abundant.

00:09:42.880 So, but I'd like to give you a caution, just to keep an eye out for this.

00:09:48.100 If our electric cars start having sodium batteries, in the old days, if a vehicle hit a pedestrian, that was called a hit and run.

00:09:58.340 That was the old days.

00:10:01.680 That was before sodium batteries.

00:10:03.840 And now that same situation would be called that you assaulted a pedestrian.

00:10:12.700 You assaulted a pedestrian.

00:10:16.760 No?

00:10:18.060 Too early for dad jokes?

00:10:20.780 Sunday is the perfect day for dad jokes.

00:10:23.840 Yeah.

00:10:24.260 Dad jokes all day long.

00:10:25.360 All right, Bindu Reddy on X is telling us that the age of robots is here.

00:10:33.840 The robots that will have the AI brains and can do everything from use a laptop to wash dishes and make coffee.

00:10:43.300 So basically, the new robots will just need to be trained in anything, and they'll be able to do it.

00:10:49.500 So if any robot learns it, it can teach the other robots right away.

00:10:52.960 And apparently, there will be a whole bunch of robot companies that are popping up in the next year, and you'll see your first, like, real, real robot in two to three years.

00:11:05.380 I thought it would be faster.

00:11:07.420 I was thinking that maybe by the end of this year, you could buy a Tesla robot.

00:11:12.320 But Bindu Reddy thinks maybe two to three.

00:11:15.520 And then in five to six, you'll have all kinds of robots.

00:11:20.660 So five to six years, basically, it will be ordinary to have your own robot in the house.

00:11:27.220 Just hold that in your mind.

00:11:29.660 That maybe in five years, having a household robot could be as normal as having, let's say, two cars.

00:11:38.200 Not something everybody will be able to afford, but if you looked at the number of people who could afford two cars, it might be similar to that, or two TVs.

00:11:48.800 I don't know what these robots are going to cost.

00:11:50.700 The first ones are going to be pretty expensive, but I think it's going to be like LED TVs.

00:11:56.040 I think in eight years, a robot's going to be $1,500.

00:11:59.380 And then how do you not get one if you can afford it?

00:12:05.340 There's a new push by scientists who studied animals and insects, and a bunch of researchers are citing a declaration that animals have consciousness.

00:12:15.240 And then maybe even insects and fish and all those other things, including crabs and lobsters and mollusks and squids and everything.

00:12:23.560 Cuttlefish.

00:12:24.580 They all have a, quote, realistic possibility of consciousness.

00:12:27.420 So, what does this tell you is maybe shaping up?

00:12:33.880 So, at the same time that robots with AI are becoming a practical commercial product, these researchers are looking at mollusks and crabs and lobsters and determine that they have a realistic possibility of being conscious.

00:12:51.120 Huh.

00:12:52.240 You see where this is going, right?

00:12:54.100 I think it's very obvious that we're going to have conscious robots or ones that people argue are conscious.

00:13:01.740 There will be others who argue forever that they can't be because they're not human.

00:13:07.080 Blah, blah, God.

00:13:08.860 But there will be an argument about whether the AI is conscious.

00:13:13.680 And part of the reason that you argue with this is because there's no single definition of consciousness.

00:13:19.340 But I'll tell you the definition I think is most useful.

00:13:23.500 I would say something is conscious if it can do the following things, which AI could do.

00:13:28.720 Can't do it yet, but it would be fairly trivial to make it do it.

00:13:32.580 It would be that current AI just executes whatever its patterns tell it to do.

00:13:40.200 But it could also, fairly easily, come to a decision of what it's going to say or do and then evaluate the decision and make a prediction about how it'll turn out.

00:13:50.600 As in, if I say this thing that my pattern machine told me to say, I predict that the human will be upset or happy or elated or something.

00:14:02.440 And then you see what happens.

00:14:04.280 And then the AI does the thing, says the words or does the thing.

00:14:08.120 And then it observes how different its prediction was from what actually happened.

00:14:13.120 And then it incorporates the new information into its training data by saying, oh, I saw a new situation.

00:14:19.920 If I had seen this situation before, I could have predicted it exactly.

00:14:24.140 But now I can put it in my training data.

00:14:29.000 I think that will be called consciousness.

00:14:33.400 But the other group of people say that consciousness is a subjective feeling.

00:14:40.180 Like, you just feel your life.

00:14:44.600 And can the computer feel?

00:14:47.260 Well, it can if you program it that way.

00:14:49.460 You just program it to say if your sensors pick up this or that, you feel.

00:14:55.800 And you could probably add senses, you know, because you got your vision and your touch already.

00:15:00.560 You have hearing, right?

00:15:02.520 Machines can do all that.

00:15:03.580 So I think you could fake it to have a subjective experience.

00:15:10.180 All right. 0.98

00:15:15.460 There's some more science that says we're getting dumber and our brains are getting fatter. 0.99

00:15:20.840 That maybe our diet is making brains. 0.93

00:15:24.500 Our brains are growing 7% in size, but our IQ has dropped since the 30s.

00:15:29.840 Do you think we can really measure our IQ drop?

00:15:36.400 Do you think you can measure the average IQ drop from the 30s?

00:15:42.620 Is there something missing from that story?

00:15:44.620 Because in the 30s, you had access to a certain group of people to measure.

00:15:51.760 And in the current day, you would be measuring a very different group of people because of immigration.

00:15:57.500 So unless you knew the baseline of all the people before they migrated, doing a before and after in the United States would be silly because it would be ignoring one of the biggest factors for IQ, which is genetics.

00:16:14.480 Right?

00:16:14.920 I mean, that would be a fair statement.

00:16:18.100 So I don't believe anything about measuring IQ since the 30s.

00:16:22.200 I don't think that's a thing we can do.

00:16:26.780 So what would you do?

00:16:28.600 ABC News is reporting that a lot of the companies that are buying into ESG, you know, the climate commitments, that a lot of them have made climate commitments.

00:16:39.960 But just one thing wrong with all the climate commitments, that the over half of the 2,000, no, a little over half of the 2,000 biggest companies in the world, they've made pledges to achieve net zero carbon emissions.

00:16:55.560 So that's pretty good, right?

00:16:58.060 Half of the biggest companies, and the biggest companies have the biggest impact, of course, but half of the biggest companies have adopted pledges to achieve net zero carbon emissions.

00:17:09.960 Do you know it's the one wrinkle with those pledges?

00:17:16.740 They're all Wally pledges.

00:17:20.420 Most of them have made a pledge, but are doing nothing that would achieve that outcome.

00:17:26.460 They just made the pledge.

00:17:28.940 So they're doing the big company pointy-haired boss thing.

00:17:33.180 All right, big company, here's what you have to do.

00:17:35.760 You have to do this impossible expensive thing to reduce your net, you have to get to net zero carbon emissions by a certain date.

00:17:45.820 And if you don't do it, we're going to mock you and put you on the bad list forever.

00:17:50.980 All right, let me understand this.

00:17:53.140 If I simply say I'm going to do this thing, I'll be on the good list.

00:17:57.860 But if I don't say I'm going to do it, I'll be on the bad list.

00:18:03.560 Is that what you're telling me?

00:18:04.620 Yes, you'll be ostracized and people will call you out and probably even your own employees will revolt.

00:18:11.840 Okay, okay, I have further questions.

00:18:14.560 If I were to say I'm going to give this pledge, but then let's say in 2030 I didn't make it, what's the penalty for that?

00:18:22.980 Oh, there's no penalty.

00:18:27.360 So, okay, more questions.

00:18:29.840 So you're saying that I could be on the good list until 2030 just by saying I'm going to do it.

00:18:38.020 But if I don't actually do it, nobody's going to know the difference.

00:18:44.120 And by the way, most of the companies that promised also will be failing simultaneously with me, right?

00:18:51.080 Well, yeah, that's probably true.

00:18:55.140 So, again, final question.

00:18:58.280 If I were to say I'm going to do it, have no practical plan whatsoever, wait until 2030,

00:19:05.580 and then fail like the other 1,000 companies that are doing the same thing I'm doing, which is pretending to play along,

00:19:13.020 will there be too many companies that failed for us to really get in much trouble individually?

00:19:18.700 Hmm, well, I don't know.

00:19:21.320 If 1,000 companies failed at doing the same thing, I think people would say it's something about the thing, not about the companies.

00:19:29.080 Exactly.

00:19:30.540 I think I got myself a strategy.

00:19:33.220 I pledge.

00:19:34.620 Now, I'd like to get in on this action.

00:19:37.920 So I'd like to make a pledge right now in public.

00:19:40.680 Look, I personally, and my corporation, Scott Adams, Inc., we pledge that we will achieve net zero carbon emissions by the year 2030,

00:19:53.800 just like the other 1,000 companies that are making the same pledge.

00:19:58.840 So you can put me on the good list.

00:20:01.780 Hello, good list.

00:20:02.860 And in 2030, when I don't achieve that, like the other 1,000 companies that won't, I'm going to say, well, they didn't.

00:20:13.080 Why are you getting on me?

00:20:15.040 I'm not even one of the biggest companies.

00:20:17.720 I really thought I could do it.

00:20:19.400 I mean, I thought I had a shot.

00:20:21.200 I tried so hard.

00:20:23.020 I even looked at maybe getting a Tesla for about five minutes.

00:20:26.980 So that's me working as hard as I can to reduce the carbon footprint.

00:20:32.300 So that's how you get on the good list.

00:20:34.340 Just make a promise.

00:21:36.160 So, Peter Schweitzer is telling us the fentanyl business is, it's all a Chinese Communist Party plot, and that the guy that the Treasury, our U.S. Department of Treasury sanctioned as a Chinese mafia leader behind the fentanyl.

00:21:57.180 So, we told China's leadership who their big fentanyl dealer was, by name, right?

00:22:05.820 Not just generically, but by name.

00:22:08.000 It's this guy.

00:22:09.260 This guy's doing it.

00:22:10.540 And then China probably said, oh, we'll stop that, and we'll check back in, and how's that guy doing?

00:22:19.620 Oh, he was just given an award.

00:22:22.040 Yeah, he just got an award.

00:22:23.340 So, not only is he free in doing his business, but he's highly respected and got an award.

00:22:31.960 So, Schweitzer says that the cartels are sort of the minor players in this, and that the Chinese are producing all the precursors.

00:22:41.140 They're even making the pill press machines that you make the fake fentanyl pills on.

00:22:46.860 So, they're doing distribution, you know, basically, they're involved in making it easy for the cartels.

00:22:56.760 Now, how many of you believe that the U.S. government is genuinely trying to stop the fentanyl business?

00:23:05.040 Does anybody still believe that we're trying to stop fentanyl?

00:23:09.380 Because, you know, all of the information suggests we're not.

00:23:13.520 So, here's my working assumption, that the fentanyl business is being run out of the United States, not out of China.

00:23:21.140 China is clearly involved.

00:23:23.060 But it seems to me that whatever the cartels are doing must be with the approval of the United States.

00:23:29.460 Why do I say that?

00:23:30.520 Because otherwise we would move against the cartels in a strong way, that even if it didn't work, you could see it on the news every day.

00:23:38.040 If the United States were not in the fentanyl business with the cartels, you would hear stories like this.

00:23:45.660 A big cartel place was hit by drones yesterday.

00:23:52.320 Or the U.S. is trying to get the Mexican military to act upon this, you know, this cartel headquarters.

00:24:01.380 We can't get them to do it, but we want to.

00:24:03.220 The stories would be completely different if the United States were not, obviously, the ones running the fentanyl business, or at least participating in it.

00:24:13.080 So, if you have a kid, let me give you this advice.

00:24:17.180 Nobody's coming to help.

00:24:20.160 It's up to you.

00:24:22.040 Nobody in the government is going to make fentanyl less available.

00:24:25.760 That's just not going to happen.

00:24:26.980 For whatever reason, that looks like some kind of corruption.

00:24:32.020 And you should do what you can.

00:24:35.260 You're on your own.

00:24:37.960 Well, here's something that I predicted in my book, The Religion of War, but here it is.

00:24:43.040 The cartels are using drones, and chemical agents are dropping from the drones.

00:24:48.600 That's right.

00:24:49.160 The cartels have weaponized chemical warfare on drones, and they're using it in their local fights against the other cartels and people they don't like.

00:25:02.940 Now, combine this with open immigration, and we know that our enemies, let's say Iran and China, have probably put their agents in every American city, and they all have access to drones. 0.54

00:25:16.080 And now we know that it's practical, because the cartels have tried and succeeded in dropping chemical agents.

00:25:24.080 It shouldn't be long before you see a massive attack where all of our major cities simultaneously have chemical drone attacks.

00:25:32.900 But probably only by some country that's in a bind.

00:25:38.120 Like, if the Iranian leadership looked like it was going to fall, I think there would be a major drone gas attack in major cities, because they're probably already set up to do it. 0.89

00:25:49.740 That's what I assume.

00:25:51.160 And the reason I assume it is because it's so obvious.

00:25:53.920 It's the obvious, low-cost, high-impact weapon of mass destruction.

00:26:01.020 You couldn't pay less or make it easier to use a weapon of mass destruction.

00:26:06.980 And I used to not talk about this, you know, too directly for a long time, because I didn't want to give anybody any ideas.

00:26:14.860 But they already have the ideas.

00:26:17.040 So now you should just...

00:26:19.020 I would make sure you have a gas mask, honestly.

00:26:22.400 I think it's time to have residential gas masks.

00:26:25.340 Like, legitimately, it's time to have a residential gas mask.

00:26:30.860 So do that. 0.56

00:26:33.420 Apparently, the January 6th people, I think I told you this, are afraid that if Trump gets elected, the January 6th committee, the corrupt committee that was hiding exculpatory information about Trump, that they're afraid of going to jail.

00:26:48.800 I guess Adam Schiff has said that you can't avoid the conversations of what if, and he has to think about his personal safety.

00:26:58.960 Now, Adam Schiff should definitely be in jail.

00:27:03.120 If there's one person who has proven over and over again he's an enemy of the country, it's Adam Schiff.

00:27:09.860 He literally went into the SCIF and told the country that he saw evidence there was Russia collusion.

00:27:16.460 Completely made it up.

00:27:18.800 Now, how in the world do you even have any kind of, you know, security clearance if you've done that even once?

00:27:25.380 If you've done that even once, you should be removed from Congress.

00:27:30.800 Because it was obviously intentional.

00:27:33.240 It was obviously a really big deal.

00:27:36.200 And it obviously was terrible for the country.

00:27:39.660 So, yeah, he should be in jail.

00:27:41.120 And I think the entire January 6th committee, based on what we know, that's been fairly well demonstrated, that it was obviously political, and they were obviously hiding exculpatory facts.

00:27:55.580 Now, under those conditions, since they were trying to get somebody else in trouble and change the nature of the government, and basically it was a coup.

00:28:04.140 So, whatever you would do for sedition, insurrection, coups, that should be the penalty.

00:28:10.880 And I think that they're some of the worst criminals in the United States.

00:28:15.680 That's my view.

00:28:18.880 Stacey Abrams is saying some interesting things.

00:28:23.700 Colin Rugg was talking about this on X.

00:28:26.020 So, Stacey Abrams said that anyone who attacks diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, is also attacking democracy and the economy.

00:28:36.080 So, here's what she said.

00:28:37.300 See if this makes sense to you.

00:28:40.140 Quote, what we know is that the attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, is an attack on democracy.

00:28:48.700 It's an attack on education.

00:28:50.960 It's an attack on how our economy works.

00:28:53.620 Now, this is what I call word thinking, meaning that you think you said something rational and logical because the words make sense in a sentence.

00:29:07.280 But I'm here to tell you that that's all that happened.

00:29:10.760 These were just words in a sentence that had no connection to any logic, rationality, facts, data, science, nothing.

00:29:21.540 So, here would be an example of the same thing.

00:29:26.980 The sky must be purple because cows are made of leather. 0.55

00:29:32.300 The sentence makes sense.

00:29:34.420 All the words are in a grammatical form that makes sense.

00:29:39.580 But it doesn't make any sense.

00:29:42.080 It doesn't make any sense.

00:29:43.020 The sky must be purple because cows are made of leather. 0.55

00:29:45.320 Now, if you think that's absurd, let me read again Stacey Abrams' sentence.

00:29:51.600 See if you can find any logic in it whatsoever.

00:29:55.100 What we know is that the attacks on DEI is an attack on democracy.

00:29:59.720 It's an attack on education.

00:30:01.260 It's an attack on how our economy works.

00:30:04.640 How?

00:30:06.360 Why?

00:30:07.640 Where?

00:30:08.080 How are these concepts related?

00:30:12.200 Because I could make an argument for the opposite of that.

00:30:15.380 I would say that DEI is the opposite of how our economy works.

00:30:19.560 Because our economy works on merit and DEI is the opposite.

00:30:25.000 So, I could make the argument DEI is opposite of the economy or the way the economy works.

00:30:31.820 But how do you make the argument that anti-DEI is against the economy?

00:30:35.680 None of this makes any sense since she's not even trying very hard.

00:30:42.060 So, there's that.

00:30:44.260 So, some House Republicans introduced legislation to defund NPR.

00:30:49.480 Because NPR is a liberal, biased hellhole, we've learned recently.

00:30:56.660 But here's the funniest thing.

00:30:58.020 If you're not following any of this, their new CEO, new-ish CEO, Kathleen Marr,

00:31:05.680 people are looking into her background.

00:31:09.240 It turns out she has every red flag for being a CIA agent.

00:31:15.140 Now, I'm not saying she is.

00:31:17.800 Because how would I know?

00:31:18.880 But if you just see her own resume, nothing made up.

00:31:24.220 You just have to look at what's on her own resume. 0.81

00:31:27.160 Almost every part of it screams CIA.

00:31:31.360 And, you know, it includes, like, you know, being associated with the Atlantic Council.

00:31:40.180 If the only thing you knew was associated with the Atlantic Council, that would be the biggest red flag.

00:31:45.900 But apparently, everything she's been associated with right down the line has been pure spook material.

00:31:52.660 Well, it doesn't mean she is.

00:31:55.620 It's not confirmed in any way.

00:31:57.380 And she denies it.

00:31:59.380 But I've never seen anybody who hit more red flags for being part of the intelligence blob.

00:32:05.700 And then we know that her prior job was at the company that heads Wikipedia.

00:32:12.340 And we know from other reporting and from the past that the CIA likes to control the media landscape.

00:32:21.220 And probably it's probably we're better off if they do with, you know, with all the negative that comes with it.

00:32:27.400 But it looks like this is exactly what was happening.

00:32:32.980 It looks like the CIA developed an asset early on, identified her as a, you know, high potential person.

00:32:40.220 It looks like they probably made sure she got these two good assignments where she could be controlling not only Wikipedia's techniques, but NPR.

00:32:52.140 I mean, if you see everything that she's done, it looks really, really obvious like it's all part of a CIA structure.

00:33:00.760 I'm not saying it is, but it couldn't look more like it.

00:33:05.220 And, you know, the government's guilty until proven innocent.

00:33:09.240 She as an individual is innocent until proven guilty, but the government's guilty until proven innocent.

00:33:14.360 Well, Alex Jones points out that the House Democrats are pushing a bill to have this inspector general to oversee the Supreme Court.

00:33:25.360 If anybody is overseeing the Supreme Court, it means they're trying to neuter the Supreme Court because they would use the oversight body to control the Supreme Court.

00:33:33.740 So that would be essentially Democrats trying to overcome the last illusion that we have any kind of a republic or a constitutional anything.

00:33:45.420 But once you get rid of the separation of powers, which is what they're trying to do directly, then you can't even really pretend you're any kind of a democratic republic or anything like that.

00:33:55.740 We're not even close to anything like that.

00:33:59.880 So that's your first bit of data.

00:34:02.100 So the Democrats are trying to get rid of the Supreme Court as a separate entity that would be independent.

00:34:08.940 Can you even imagine?

00:34:11.540 Imagine 10 years ago, if I told you that, the Democrats were trying to neuter the Supreme Court because they didn't like its decisions.

00:34:21.200 It would almost seem like unfathomable.

00:34:24.980 Now it's like business as usual.

00:34:26.760 All right, here are some things that we know about our country that maybe a lot of you didn't know before.

00:34:32.940 But it's not until you see them all together that you get the big picture.

00:34:37.240 So I'm going to tell you a bunch of things you think are true.

00:34:40.320 Maybe you learned them recently.

00:34:41.780 Maybe you didn't.

00:34:43.120 And there might be some things on this list that some of you might say, oh, I don't know about that one.

00:34:47.560 And that's OK, because if a few of them are not exactly the way I present them, it doesn't change the larger directional picture.

00:34:57.360 OK, so here's what I would say I know to be true as a working assumption.

00:35:03.760 The country is not and has not been a democratic republic for at least decades and certainly in my lifetime.

00:35:13.140 We are clearly and unambiguously a fascist organization and defining fascist as having a government which is not controlled by the people.

00:35:24.060 It's obviously controlled by intelligence entities at this point.

00:35:29.160 So it's not controlled by the people and the big companies are working in concert with the government and the intelligence people for the benefit of the government and the benefit of the big companies.

00:35:41.940 Maybe not necessarily at the benefit of the of the public or at least not giving the public what they would want in a populous sense.

00:35:49.400 And that because that is the nature of our government and our country and it has been for a long time and that we have this this fake facade of doing elections.

00:35:58.460 But really, we're all all we get is to elect, you know, which CIA asset.

00:36:04.100 That's probably all we get to choose.

00:36:08.440 So I would say that's an accurate statement based on everything I know that we are a fascist country, not a republic.

00:36:16.700 But just to make things interesting, I'm not sure that that isn't the best situation.

00:36:24.640 Because if you have a the big company is working with the government, it's all a big corrupt entity.

00:36:30.900 It's also a very strong entity.

00:36:32.900 And probably the most dangerous thing you could do as a country is to have a weak economy because then if something happens, you can't recover and have a weak military because then somebody is going to conquer you or push you around.

00:36:46.960 But so because our fascist situation here is very strong because we have big companies and a big government and a big military, we end up being a very strong country.

00:37:01.180 Except for the national debt.

00:37:02.680 That's the one glaring exception to our strength.

00:37:05.920 But I would say that you can't even make the case necessarily that our big fascist country that they pretend is a democracy.

00:37:16.100 I'm not sure it isn't the best system.

00:37:19.720 You know, people always used to say, well, democracy has all its problems.

00:37:24.060 But, you know, there's no better system.

00:37:27.400 To which I say, yes, there is.

00:37:30.660 We're in it.

00:37:31.540 The better system is you pretend you're a democracy, you convince the public that you are, but you have the big corporations and the government collude for the benefit of the big companies because that's how we become a big economy.

00:37:47.320 And if you're a big economy, you can pay for health care and you can have military that keeps you safe from other places.

00:37:53.700 Because, although the military in this fascist situation would also be starting wars that we didn't need to start, but it would try to only start wars we knew we could either make money on or win or affect something.

00:38:07.480 You know, not ones that would destroy the country.

00:38:10.680 So maybe it's the worst situation that we're a fascist country pretending not to be.

00:38:19.240 Maybe that's the worst.

00:38:20.260 But it also might be the best.

00:38:25.700 It might be the best.

00:38:27.600 Even as terrible as it is, I get back to that, you know, democracy is the worst system except nobody knows one that's better.

00:38:36.900 Well, I do.

00:38:38.000 I just told you one.

00:38:39.180 Our current fake democracy with a real fascist undertone probably is the best you can do in a broken world.

00:38:48.100 Here's things that I'm pretty sure are true.

00:38:52.540 The CIA killed Kennedy.

00:38:54.980 The CIA removed Nixon.

00:38:59.700 And, of course, George Bush was in the CIA.

00:39:02.760 He was head of the CIA before he was president.

00:39:04.640 I'm pretty sure that the CIA still controls the media.

00:39:08.900 Too many obvious examples of that.

00:39:11.360 I'm sure that the CIA and intelligence blob, as Mike Benz likes to tell us, is using other countries that are allies and NGOs to censor people who would be opposed to the fascist government.

00:39:28.020 So I do think that we don't have a First Amendment.

00:39:32.300 Well, we have First Amendment, but we don't have free speech because our own country is, through the CIA, working against the citizens to cancel people and diminish their reach if they have statements that the blob doesn't like.

00:39:48.540 We know we're a massive surveillance state, so that we've lost all privacy.

00:39:54.000 We know that from recent re-up of surveillance.

00:39:58.720 We know that the blob or our government takes out influential, independent, populist voices.

00:40:04.760 So we know we have a government that is persecuting people for their views and opinions through a variety of mechanisms, through the NGOs and other countries and suppressing you on the platforms and lawfare and all that.

00:40:20.800 What I think I know is that Mayorkas is not working for America. 1.00

00:40:25.500 Now, I don't have proof of that, except you have a guy whose only job is to protect the border, well, at least that's a big part of his job, and he's simply not doing it.

00:40:39.300 And I don't see any other explanation other than he doesn't work for us.

00:40:43.900 I don't know who he works for.

00:40:46.060 I mean, I would guess the cartels, or there are intelligence people who are also working with the cartels, but he's definitely not working for America.

00:40:55.500 I mean, I don't think there's any question about that at this point.

00:40:59.180 When you see that the Democrats are trying to remove Trump's secret service, and you see that Biden doesn't give RFK Jr. secret service, that's exactly what it looks like.

00:41:09.780 That is our government trying to kill the competition and jail them. 0.98

00:41:14.160 Trying to jail them and or kill them. 0.99

00:41:16.800 It's exactly what it looks like. 0.99

00:41:18.300 There's no ambiguity there.

00:41:20.280 That is exactly what they're doing.

00:41:21.940 They're trying to kill the competition or jail them right in front of you. 0.95

00:41:26.360 There's nothing to be hidden.

00:41:27.900 It's right in front of you.

00:41:31.860 I would say I'm not aware of any specific rigging of our election systems, but I am aware that our election systems are, in my opinion, a joke and not credible at all.

00:41:44.260 Now, not credible doesn't mean rigged.

00:41:47.120 Not credible means I would have no idea if they were rigged or not.

00:41:51.360 Now, I've heard somebody else say, Scott, if anything was rigged, you'd pick it up right away in the audit.

00:41:58.380 They're not audited.

00:41:59.420 And do you know what you can apparently do and get away with?

00:42:05.340 If somebody comes to audit your election, do you know what you can do if you don't want it to be audited?

00:42:11.040 You can delete all your files.

00:42:12.680 And then they say, where are all those files so we can audit it, like in Georgia?

00:42:18.360 And you can say, oh, all the image files that you could use to audit, they all got deleted.

00:42:24.280 What?

00:42:24.640 Somebody's going to jail.

00:42:27.240 No, it's probably just a mistake.

00:42:30.580 But now we can't audit.

00:42:32.840 We don't even know if the election was fair.

00:42:35.020 Yeah, that's terrible.

00:42:36.860 But, you know, life goes on.

00:42:38.340 Biden's president.

00:42:39.760 Maybe we'll have another election.

00:42:41.880 As long as our system allows you to lose anything that could be audited, which is exactly what happened.

00:42:48.880 Every time somebody wanted to look into something, it seemed like, I don't know, you know, we lost those records.

00:42:57.200 You know those, what do you call them, the flash drives?

00:43:02.660 Yeah, let's look at those flash drives.

00:43:04.540 Oh, we can't find them.

00:43:06.340 Let's look at what software was there.

00:43:07.920 Oh, we updated that software.

00:43:09.420 Sorry.

00:43:10.620 Yeah.

00:43:10.780 So if you try to do an audit, or if you try to have observers, we saw that observers were literally chased out of election centers.

00:43:22.500 Republicans were chased out in 2020, right?

00:43:26.860 They were chased out.

00:43:29.380 Now, if you can chase out the observers, and then if you cheated, you can just delete the evidence, and people will say, oh, it's too bad we can't check.

00:43:38.700 I guess we'll just go on as if we had no way to know.

00:43:43.940 That would assume that your elections are rigged.

00:43:46.860 So I don't have proof.

00:43:49.400 And there's no court that found the rigged, but it certainly looks like it's obvious.

00:43:54.200 I'd put it in the category of so obvious that it would be a miracle if they weren't rigged.

00:44:00.680 It would just be a miracle.

00:44:01.680 We see that the government is using lawfare to get Trump right in front of us.

00:44:09.420 You don't have to be a lawyer to know that it's lawfare, and it has nothing to do with the actual law or what is right or just.

00:44:17.640 We know that our country is a hoaxocracy, meaning that the Democrats run one hoax after another that are very organized,

00:44:25.220 and they involve our intelligence community, the Russia collusion intelligence community, and the FBI.

00:44:34.420 Laptop hoax, Russian intelligence.

00:44:38.060 I'm sorry.

00:44:39.260 Probably our intelligence people.

00:44:41.360 So, yes.

00:44:42.000 And the January 6th thing, of course, is the current ongoing hoax,

00:44:45.220 and it's all supported by the deep state hoaxocracy.

00:44:52.940 Let's see.

00:44:53.660 We know the food supply is poisoned.

00:44:55.660 RFK Jr. is telling us that, and it's obvious.

00:44:58.760 We don't see much done about that because we're, why would that be?

00:45:04.800 What would be the reason that our food supply is obviously bad for us,

00:45:09.280 but there's not, you know, massive government intervention?

00:45:12.000 Well, it's because we're a fascist country, and the big, big food and big pharma can sometimes be owned by the same big money people.

00:45:24.320 The same people own our pharma and our food companies in large part,

00:45:28.580 and they're pretty happy with the situation, I think.

00:45:31.960 So nothing can get fixed there because we are a fascist country, in effect.

00:45:36.600 We've learned more about the Wuhan lab cover-ups recently, that Fauci was involved in funding something,

00:45:44.980 and a whistleblower does say that the whole point of it was to make it look like it had not been a human-engineered virus.

00:45:53.160 And then when it comes out, Fauci and everybody goes, oh, it's not a human-engineered virus,

00:45:57.960 when, in fact, the whole effort was to make one that didn't look like it was human-engineered

00:46:01.500 from the very lab that apparently had the leak.

00:46:07.440 Anyway, we know that Ukraine is all corrupt and that it's just a huge money-laundering, money-making grab.

00:46:15.580 We know that the story that Putin wanted to take over Europe is completely made up, fake,

00:46:22.880 and that really it was about turning Ukraine NATO so that the weapons people can sell NATO-approved weapons

00:46:30.820 to Ukraine, which you would pay for with your tax dollars.

00:46:35.460 So it's all basically a scam, and we know that.

00:46:40.200 So Ukraine is partly about the CIA bases and the illegal labs

00:46:47.880 and partly about the money-laundering and partly about energy and partly about weapons.

00:46:53.520 But if you think it's about defending America, no, it's nothing about that.

00:46:58.040 So you might say to me, Scott, if our government is fascist and has been that way for decades,

00:47:08.800 simply meaning that the government and the big companies are working together with the intelligence people

00:47:13.740 to make the elites happy at your expense, what do you do about that?

00:47:19.260 Do you run a populist president and try to dismantle it all?

00:47:23.240 Well, because that's what looks like is happening.

00:47:27.760 Well, maybe, and maybe that could work.

00:47:30.580 I mean, it's not a zero chance that Trump could make a difference.

00:47:34.040 But I would say your better play is to join the bad guys,

00:47:37.300 because the bad guys would be the big companies.

00:47:41.780 So if you have not already made it in America, a really good way to do it is to join a big company,

00:47:48.720 because they have great benefits and promotion and training.

00:47:52.680 And when I worked for big companies, they were absurd situations,

00:47:57.000 but I learned so much that I could take with me to do my own thing, which I eventually did.

00:48:02.660 So that's your career strategy.

00:48:06.500 If you believe the government is a unfixable fascist entity, which is what I believe,

00:48:13.140 all the evidence suggests that, then your best bet is to be on the side of the fascist entity.

00:48:20.660 And I'm not joking.

00:48:22.520 That is your best play.

00:48:24.200 Now, you could try to fight it at the same time, you know, by voting for populists and stuff like that.

00:48:29.580 But in the meantime, you should make sure you're on the same side with the people who are winning.

00:48:35.560 That's just the smart play.

00:48:38.360 All right.

00:48:39.400 Bill Maher also, he makes a lot of news after his show.

00:48:43.560 And he makes news by saying things that are obvious,

00:48:46.560 but for some reason his own team doesn't want to act like it's obvious.

00:48:50.600 And he said, why would a drag queen want to perform for children? 1.00

00:48:54.660 Maybe it's more for the drag queen than the kids. 0.99

00:48:56.960 And he said, if they wanted to teach the kids to be more open-minded about people,

00:49:03.760 maybe you should have disabled people come in.

00:49:08.060 Because those children might never meet a drag queen, 1.00

00:49:11.140 but they probably will meet lots of people who are differently abled.

00:49:15.520 So maybe they should work on that, because that will be a common experience.

00:49:19.200 The other one's very uncommon.

00:49:20.220 So, yes, I think Maher sees it for what it is. 0.88

00:49:25.840 It does look like there's a, as he would say, a gay agenda.

00:49:31.220 Not for all gay people, of course.

00:49:34.140 You know, any generality doesn't hold for individuals.

00:49:37.320 But that there are some number of people in the LGBT community

00:49:41.440 who are just trying to gay up America, 0.93

00:49:44.160 and they're trying pretty hard to do it.

00:49:48.060 All right.

00:49:53.460 So, Glenn Beck asked RFK Jr. about his Second Amendment stance.

00:49:58.620 And here are some things RFK Jr. said.

00:50:00.700 I'm not taking anybody's guns.

00:50:03.480 Okay, good so far.

00:50:05.760 My father was killed by a gun.

00:50:07.240 My uncle was killed by a gun.

00:50:08.640 I saw what it did to my family.

00:50:10.540 I've seen what it does to other people.

00:50:12.100 But he says we need to work with each other to understand

00:50:15.800 why we're having the gun violence in this country

00:50:18.540 that no other country has.

00:50:22.160 When I was a kid, we had gun clubs in our schools,

00:50:25.080 and nobody was shooting at people.

00:50:27.300 Something happened.

00:50:30.640 Huh.

00:50:31.080 What happened?

00:50:32.580 In the comments, do you want to tell RFK Jr. what happened?

00:50:36.680 Since he was a kid.

00:50:42.100 Do you want to fill in the blanks?

00:50:47.580 Because there you go.

00:50:50.200 Mike Burt.

00:50:51.760 Yes, Mike Burt.

00:50:54.140 It's probably a demographic shift.

00:50:58.480 Probably a demographic shift.

00:51:00.040 If you were to artificially take only the parts of America

00:51:06.820 that looked like America in the 50s,

00:51:10.720 if you just took the part of America

00:51:12.660 that looked like America in the 50s,

00:51:14.500 that demographic group,

00:51:16.400 the gun violence is about the same as it was

00:51:18.300 when RFK Jr. was a kid.

00:51:21.320 So if everything stayed the same,

00:51:23.060 the gun violence would have stayed the same as well.

00:51:24.820 Now, the real question would be,

00:51:28.160 why is gun violence higher in some communities?

00:51:34.180 Well, poverty, obviously, poverty,

00:51:37.320 and the drug business specifically.

00:51:40.980 So wherever you have poverty

00:51:42.260 and you have a big drug business,

00:51:44.640 you can have a lot of violence.

00:51:46.280 So I don't think there's as much mystery to this

00:51:49.080 as RFK Jr. would like you to believe,

00:51:52.140 but I don't think he can say directly what I just said.

00:51:55.320 That it might be a demographic thing.

00:51:57.500 Now, if you get into culture,

00:51:59.500 you've gone too far.

00:52:01.740 See, as soon as you say you know why,

00:52:04.600 you've gone too far.

00:52:06.180 Because I don't think the science

00:52:07.500 supports any specific reason.

00:52:10.480 It's just that there is a difference.

00:52:12.700 That's the part we can know for sure.

00:52:14.800 But as soon as you get into,

00:52:16.300 it's culture, it's genes, it's poverty.

00:52:20.760 I don't think we know that.

00:52:22.220 That doesn't seem to be something anybody knows.

00:52:26.540 All right.

00:52:27.460 Let's talk about that Trump jury.

00:52:29.640 So now Trump has a jury for his case,

00:52:34.440 the Stormy Daniels payments case.

00:52:38.420 And I guess there are two lawyers on the jury,

00:52:41.300 which is interesting.

00:52:43.480 That could go either way.

00:52:45.580 Either the lawyers will be better

00:52:47.780 at understanding the evidence.

00:52:50.380 And therefore, they would be more likely to acquit.

00:52:53.080 You know, they would just have

00:52:54.060 more context to bring to it.

00:52:56.820 And then there's also one truth social user.

00:52:59.940 And I can't imagine any scenario

00:53:02.180 in which somebody who gets their news

00:53:04.480 and interacts and is a member of truth social,

00:53:08.060 how in the world

00:53:09.720 are they going to find Trump guilty?

00:53:12.140 I don't think he's going to get convicted.

00:53:16.580 I think it's going to be a hung jury.

00:53:18.820 And I think that it's going to be

00:53:20.500 a 12 angry men situation

00:53:22.440 where there's going to be one holdout.

00:53:24.920 And the one holdout is just going to say, 1.00

00:53:27.440 you're going to have to kill me. 1.00

00:53:29.480 I think you're very, very likely 1.00

00:53:34.080 to get a Trump supporter

00:53:36.480 that snuck onto that jury

00:53:38.320 who just says,

00:53:39.800 well, I've had enough.

00:53:41.420 Do whatever you need to do to me.

00:53:43.660 I'm just stopping this now.

00:53:45.720 I think that person exists.

00:53:48.220 Now, I'll give it a 70-30.

00:53:51.280 70% chance

00:53:52.700 there's somebody who's already been selected

00:53:55.260 who knows they're going to stop this thing

00:53:57.100 even before the trial.

00:53:59.480 They know they're going to vote innocent

00:54:01.060 because they know it's lawfare.

00:54:04.140 Everybody should know

00:54:05.440 that it's lawfare.

00:54:06.820 It's not a legitimate process.

00:54:08.800 If you put me on that jury, 0.93

00:54:10.360 I would hang that jury so fast. 0.93

00:54:12.920 There's not a possibility 0.99

00:54:15.020 I would even listen to the evidence

00:54:16.640 or care about the evidence.

00:54:18.660 In this case,

00:54:19.560 I wouldn't care about it all.

00:54:21.100 I would just care that lawfare

00:54:22.400 isn't something I want to happen again.

00:54:25.120 So I'd make sure it didn't work.

00:54:27.540 That's all I would care about.

00:54:28.720 I would go for justice,

00:54:30.160 not the law.

00:54:31.640 Do you know why we have jurors

00:54:33.420 who are human

00:54:34.000 and it's unlikely

00:54:35.540 we'll replace them with AI?

00:54:40.380 The real reason

00:54:41.460 is because the human

00:54:42.880 has the ability

00:54:43.700 to favor justice

00:54:45.180 over the details of the law.

00:54:47.620 A human has the ability

00:54:51.680 to violate the law

00:54:53.020 or at least the intention

00:54:55.200 of how the legal system

00:54:56.560 is supposed to work

00:54:57.440 if they think

00:54:59.020 there's a bigger benefit

00:55:01.880 to the community.

00:55:04.000 You can just say,

00:55:05.000 you know,

00:55:05.320 yeah,

00:55:05.540 you did prove your case.

00:55:06.740 Innocent.

00:55:07.820 But what about the facts?

00:55:09.400 Yeah, right.

00:55:10.240 Innocent.

00:55:11.120 But we showed you these facts.

00:55:12.780 It's definitely a crime.

00:55:13.740 Yep, yep.

00:55:15.120 Don't care.

00:55:17.240 So that's how I think

00:55:18.780 that's going to go.

00:55:20.400 70-30.

00:55:22.200 70% chance

00:55:23.380 it's a hung jury

00:55:24.160 because there's a Trump supporter

00:55:25.960 who goes all patriot on it.

00:55:27.800 So the Trump ally,

00:55:34.540 Mike Davis,

00:55:35.420 he's being explained that way.

00:55:38.440 I guess he was on a war room

00:55:39.500 the other day

00:55:40.040 and he said that

00:55:40.880 the daughter of the judge

00:55:42.620 overseeing the trial,

00:55:44.200 this Judge Marchand,

00:55:46.040 his daughter has raised

00:55:47.300 over $100 million

00:55:48.260 because of Trump

00:55:50.300 having lawfare against him.

00:55:53.740 And apparently

00:55:54.620 the daughter of the judge

00:55:56.000 has been raising money

00:56:00.680 for a bunch of prominent Democrats

00:56:03.620 including

00:56:04.300 including Kinzinger?

00:56:09.380 No.

00:56:12.180 Oh, no, he was replaced as a...

00:56:15.100 Never mind.

00:56:15.680 This is an unrelated story.

00:56:17.420 But anyway,

00:56:17.880 the judge's daughter

00:56:19.280 has raised immense,

00:56:20.300 immense money

00:56:20.720 for prominent Democrats.

00:56:23.020 And I think we would all

00:56:24.320 ask the following question.

00:56:26.000 How in the world

00:56:28.860 is this judge still on the case?

00:56:35.020 How in the world

00:56:36.300 does a judge whose daughter 0.94

00:56:39.600 is not just a little bit Democrat

00:56:41.380 but super Democrat,

00:56:44.680 how in the world

00:56:45.980 do we imagine

00:56:46.840 this is a fair trial?

00:56:48.000 This is literally a joke.

00:56:53.820 There's nothing about this

00:56:55.340 that I think

00:56:56.460 should be taken seriously.

00:56:58.660 I mean,

00:56:58.940 it feels like

00:56:59.620 they're trying

00:57:00.260 to get it overthrown

00:57:01.280 by the...

00:57:02.060 or overturned

00:57:02.780 by the Supreme Court.

00:57:04.360 Wouldn't there be

00:57:04.980 a Supreme Court case here

00:57:06.340 about the judge?

00:57:11.280 There should be, right?

00:57:12.340 And how could the Supreme Court

00:57:15.760 ever look at this

00:57:16.660 and say,

00:57:17.280 yeah,

00:57:17.380 this looks like

00:57:17.960 a fair trial

00:57:18.660 when the judge's daughter

00:57:20.480 is, you know,

00:57:21.420 a super anti-Trumper

00:57:24.260 and is an activist?

00:57:27.000 It'd be one thing

00:57:27.860 if she just had an opinion,

00:57:29.320 but she's an activist. 0.84

00:57:30.920 She actually works 0.99

00:57:31.700 for the other team.

00:57:33.200 There's no way in hell

00:57:34.260 the judge is going to be able

00:57:35.360 to vote against

00:57:37.020 the interests

00:57:37.520 of his daughter.

00:57:38.880 It's not really

00:57:39.740 a possibility.

00:57:41.380 Not vote,

00:57:42.060 but, you know.

00:57:45.500 CNN says

00:57:47.780 Trump is better liked

00:57:49.080 than he was before,

00:57:51.720 at least in the swing states.

00:57:54.420 So,

00:57:55.360 was it Harry Enten?

00:57:58.380 They've got a polling guy.

00:58:01.600 He said,

00:58:02.380 quote,

00:58:02.580 the fact is

00:58:03.200 that Donald Trump

00:58:03.840 is,

00:58:04.240 in fact,

00:58:06.000 better liked

00:58:06.720 than he was

00:58:07.260 four years ago

00:58:08.100 and is better liked

00:58:09.700 than Joe Biden is now

00:58:11.040 in the battleground states.

00:58:13.440 And,

00:58:13.860 it's pretty

00:58:14.940 gosh darn clear,

00:58:16.260 he says.

00:58:18.560 So,

00:58:19.220 Biden's popularity

00:58:20.100 has fallen off

00:58:21.380 fairly substantially

00:58:23.460 and Trump's popularity

00:58:25.420 has grown.

00:58:26.520 I would like to take

00:58:27.560 another victory lap

00:58:28.640 on my prediction

00:58:29.620 that Trump

00:58:31.040 would look better

00:58:31.820 every day

00:58:32.460 he was out of office.

00:58:34.240 and that

00:58:35.000 that January 6th

00:58:36.180 thing will wear off.

00:58:37.880 You know,

00:58:38.100 the spell

00:58:38.740 of the fake news

00:58:39.560 about January 6th

00:58:40.500 will wear off.

00:58:42.420 And he will be considered,

00:58:44.800 depending on what he does

00:58:46.000 in the second term,

00:58:46.780 if he has one,

00:58:47.960 he will be considered

00:58:48.920 one of the great presidents

00:58:49.860 in the long run,

00:58:51.400 in my opinion.

00:58:53.000 So,

00:58:55.320 as you know,

00:58:55.840 the House

00:58:56.420 passed

00:58:58.580 the bill

00:59:00.060 that would fund

00:59:00.740 Ukraine and Israel

00:59:01.760 and some money

00:59:02.920 to protect Taiwan

00:59:04.080 and also

00:59:05.420 would

00:59:05.760 tweak a little bit

00:59:07.900 the proposed ban

00:59:09.280 on TikTok.

00:59:10.300 They'd have more time

00:59:11.220 to divest.

00:59:14.120 And,

00:59:14.760 I saw reports

00:59:15.400 in the news

00:59:15.880 that the Senate

00:59:16.480 is likely to pass it

00:59:17.760 and then Biden

00:59:18.640 is likely to sign it.

00:59:21.080 Let me ask you this.

00:59:23.280 Do you think

00:59:23.900 in the real world

00:59:24.880 TikTok is going to be

00:59:26.380 banned in the United States

00:59:27.960 unless they divest?

00:59:30.620 Do you think

00:59:31.340 that's real?

00:59:32.840 Here are the possibilities.

00:59:34.880 One is

00:59:35.760 that the Senate

00:59:36.760 will kill the TikTok

00:59:37.780 part of it,

00:59:39.200 which I feel

00:59:40.120 is a real possibility.

00:59:41.480 They'll just

00:59:41.880 take it out

00:59:42.820 and say,

00:59:43.400 all right,

00:59:43.680 we like everything else,

00:59:45.040 but we took out

00:59:46.000 the TikTok part.

00:59:47.860 And then the House,

00:59:48.880 and I don't fully

00:59:50.840 understand the system,

00:59:51.820 but if the Senate

00:59:53.380 says yes

00:59:54.200 to the package

00:59:56.240 but only

00:59:56.880 with changes,

00:59:58.680 doesn't that

00:59:59.220 go back

00:59:59.620 to the House

01:00:00.220 and then

01:00:00.840 just the leaders

01:00:02.660 of each side

01:00:03.480 they negotiate

01:00:04.860 what the deal is?

01:00:08.520 But then

01:00:09.100 they don't vote again,

01:00:10.000 right?

01:00:10.700 They just have

01:00:11.440 the leaders say,

01:00:12.220 okay,

01:00:12.500 we're pretty close,

01:00:13.740 so if we're close,

01:00:15.180 we'll have the leaders

01:00:15.840 close the gap.

01:00:16.800 We don't have to have,

01:00:17.480 yeah,

01:00:17.760 reconciliation,

01:00:18.640 that's what it's called,

01:00:19.240 right?

01:00:20.080 Do I understand

01:00:21.000 the process correctly?

01:00:22.800 So would it be possible,

01:00:24.580 because I don't know

01:00:25.180 the degree to which

01:00:26.280 they can reconcile

01:00:27.600 versus have to vote

01:00:28.800 over again.

01:00:29.980 I don't,

01:00:30.480 you know,

01:00:30.680 it shouldn't be just tweaking,

01:00:32.580 it shouldn't be

01:00:33.280 fundamentally different,

01:00:34.720 right?

01:00:35.700 So would it be

01:00:36.740 fundamentally different

01:00:37.880 if they tweaked it

01:00:39.420 to take out

01:00:40.020 the TikTok part?

01:00:41.500 I would say no,

01:00:43.400 because it would still

01:00:44.100 look like the funding

01:00:45.240 for Ukraine

01:00:46.960 and Gaza

01:00:47.620 and Taiwan stuff

01:00:48.980 would look like

01:00:50.000 the bigger part

01:00:50.640 of the bill.

01:00:51.940 So I think

01:00:52.680 there's one possibility

01:00:53.740 that it's always

01:00:54.460 been a trick.

01:00:55.640 They put it in there

01:00:56.720 to get support,

01:00:57.880 knowing that it would

01:00:59.140 be taken out

01:00:59.800 in reconciliation.

01:01:02.440 So,

01:01:03.060 theory one,

01:01:04.160 they knew it would not

01:01:05.100 pass the people

01:01:05.960 in charge,

01:01:06.880 and they knew

01:01:07.680 they could take it

01:01:08.260 out in reconciliation.

01:01:09.380 But I don't know

01:01:09.900 if that's real.

01:01:10.760 I don't know

01:01:11.100 if that's a thing

01:01:11.640 they can actually do,

01:01:12.620 but since I don't know

01:01:14.100 they can't do it,

01:01:15.240 I'll put it

01:01:15.960 as a possibility.

01:01:18.520 The other possibility

01:01:19.540 is that the

01:01:21.040 big investor,

01:01:22.580 the Republican donor,

01:01:24.600 who is

01:01:25.420 now friends

01:01:26.580 with Trump,

01:01:27.600 and remember

01:01:28.160 the big donor said,

01:01:30.040 after he talked

01:01:31.360 to Trump,

01:01:31.880 Trump said,

01:01:32.460 you know,

01:01:32.880 maybe we should

01:01:33.440 keep TikTok,

01:01:35.400 because his biggest donor

01:01:36.460 has a $35 billion

01:01:37.560 stake in it,

01:01:38.440 and he can't get

01:01:38.920 his money out.

01:01:40.420 But what if

01:01:41.460 this divestment thing

01:01:43.500 is actually

01:01:44.580 what Yass wants? 1.00

01:01:47.380 Because TikTok

01:01:48.440 was going to go public,

01:01:49.700 but the Chinese government

01:01:51.580 killed it.

01:01:52.920 So that was

01:01:53.560 his cash-in event.

01:01:55.100 If he's got

01:01:56.040 $35 billion worth

01:01:57.420 of ownership

01:01:58.600 of ByteDance,

01:02:00.060 but he can never

01:02:01.220 sell it or cash it out,

01:02:03.060 it's useless.

01:02:04.780 So what if

01:02:05.920 this was always

01:02:07.760 a plot

01:02:08.420 to force China 0.90

01:02:10.760 to sell

01:02:11.440 a portion

01:02:11.880 of it,

01:02:12.320 which would

01:02:12.680 effectively

01:02:13.260 cash out

01:02:14.000 the big investor?

01:02:16.660 So one possibility

01:02:17.780 is that

01:02:18.800 it was always

01:02:19.360 a trick,

01:02:20.060 and it's really

01:02:20.920 just a way

01:02:21.400 for the United States

01:02:22.820 to steal China's, 0.90

01:02:24.060 one of China's 0.92

01:02:24.660 biggest businesses.

01:02:26.680 Because we do that,

01:02:27.820 you know.

01:02:29.400 Because we're

01:02:30.060 a fascist

01:02:30.600 company, 0.90

01:02:31.440 country.

01:02:31.740 If you're 0.99

01:02:32.620 a fascist

01:02:33.160 country, 0.97

01:02:33.880 your government

01:02:34.980 colludes

01:02:35.520 with your

01:02:35.880 big corporations

01:02:36.820 to steal

01:02:38.260 business

01:02:38.740 from other

01:02:39.240 countries.

01:02:40.520 So in Ukraine,

01:02:41.420 you'd be trying

01:02:42.000 to steal

01:02:42.460 the Russian

01:02:43.280 pipeline

01:02:43.920 and gas

01:02:44.720 business.

01:02:45.540 So our

01:02:46.300 corporations

01:02:46.820 would be

01:02:47.540 working with

01:02:48.040 our spooks

01:02:48.720 and our

01:02:48.960 military

01:02:49.280 to do that.

01:02:51.340 And

01:02:51.640 maybe

01:02:53.900 in the

01:02:54.760 TikTok case,

01:02:56.140 the real play

01:02:56.880 here is that

01:02:57.440 it was a

01:02:57.740 really profitable

01:02:58.420 business,

01:02:59.340 and our CIA

01:03:00.280 would like to

01:03:00.860 have a backdoor

01:03:01.540 to it,

01:03:01.980 which maybe

01:03:02.420 they can't get

01:03:03.080 if it's

01:03:03.520 China-owned

01:03:04.620 or China-controlled.

01:03:06.460 But

01:03:06.860 if some

01:03:08.960 U.S.

01:03:09.480 investors,

01:03:11.400 say Mnuchin,

01:03:13.100 got a bunch

01:03:13.680 of rich people

01:03:14.340 to buy it,

01:03:15.780 maybe Jeff Yass

01:03:16.940 could be cashed

01:03:17.720 out,

01:03:18.280 which would

01:03:18.680 make him

01:03:19.020 happy.

01:03:21.160 Maybe it

01:03:21.820 would give

01:03:22.020 the CIA

01:03:22.560 a backdoor

01:03:23.360 because it

01:03:23.820 would be

01:03:24.020 American-owned

01:03:24.740 now.

01:03:26.700 Might make

01:03:27.440 them happy.

01:03:29.380 And

01:03:29.900 China

01:03:31.520 by dance

01:03:32.680 would get

01:03:33.100 some money,

01:03:33.960 so they

01:03:34.980 wouldn't be

01:03:35.340 as happy

01:03:35.940 as they

01:03:36.240 could be,

01:03:36.800 but maybe

01:03:37.540 they could

01:03:37.900 live with

01:03:38.320 it.

01:03:39.160 But

01:03:39.400 basically,

01:03:39.980 it looks

01:03:40.160 like we're

01:03:40.500 just stealing

01:03:40.980 their company.

01:03:43.080 That's what

01:03:43.600 it looks

01:03:43.820 like to

01:03:44.120 me.

01:03:45.060 It looks

01:03:45.460 like we're

01:03:45.800 just using

01:03:47.240 our fascist

01:03:47.940 government,

01:03:48.580 our corporations,

01:03:49.880 and our

01:03:50.180 military to

01:03:51.800 just force

01:03:53.460 a change.

01:03:55.220 Not a

01:03:55.720 military,

01:03:56.180 more the

01:03:56.860 lawmakers.

01:03:57.460 so that

01:04:00.700 we can

01:04:01.080 get a

01:04:01.420 control of

01:04:01.900 the heat

01:04:02.140 button,

01:04:02.460 I guess.

01:04:06.140 And they

01:04:06.740 have 270

01:04:07.520 days to

01:04:08.120 divest if

01:04:09.260 this gets

01:04:09.760 to the

01:04:10.100 Senate.

01:04:11.720 What can

01:04:12.340 happen in

01:04:12.760 270 days?

01:04:14.660 In 270

01:04:15.460 days, a

01:04:16.500 lot can

01:04:17.200 happen that

01:04:18.440 would change

01:04:18.900 the fate of

01:04:19.460 TikTok.

01:04:20.520 So I'm

01:04:21.560 going to

01:04:21.780 predict that

01:04:22.480 TikTok does

01:04:24.220 not get

01:04:25.040 forced to

01:04:25.680 divest.

01:04:27.460 So that's

01:04:28.420 my first

01:04:28.840 guess.

01:04:29.700 But if it

01:04:30.520 does get

01:04:31.220 forced, it

01:04:32.340 will just

01:04:32.640 be recreated

01:04:33.440 in an

01:04:34.440 American

01:04:34.800 entity.

01:04:36.180 But here's

01:04:36.960 what won't

01:04:37.360 happen.

01:04:37.940 TikTok will

01:04:38.480 go away. 0.82

01:04:39.920 I don't

01:04:40.200 think there's

01:04:40.580 any chance

01:04:41.040 it'll go

01:04:41.380 away.

01:04:42.660 It's one

01:04:42.960 of the

01:04:43.200 other two

01:04:43.620 things.

01:04:44.680 Israel is

01:04:45.380 attacking

01:04:45.800 Rafa.

01:04:48.440 There are

01:04:49.080 claims of

01:04:49.640 deaths that

01:04:50.120 you can't

01:04:50.580 believe because

01:04:51.160 it's fog of

01:04:51.800 war.

01:04:52.620 But apparently

01:04:53.360 they're going

01:04:53.720 to hit Rafa

01:04:54.200 pretty hard as

01:04:54.900 they said

01:04:55.280 they would.

01:04:55.920 So that's

01:04:57.140 no surprise.

01:04:58.720 All right.

01:04:59.100 Homicide rates

01:05:00.060 are falling

01:05:00.500 across the

01:05:01.080 U.S.

01:05:01.780 and experts

01:05:02.760 are surprised.

01:05:05.580 Let's see if

01:05:06.460 you can get

01:05:06.940 this right.

01:05:08.940 Violent crime

01:05:09.860 in general

01:05:10.460 is the

01:05:11.700 same or

01:05:12.120 up.

01:05:13.340 But murder

01:05:14.380 specifically

01:05:15.320 homicide

01:05:16.240 is down

01:05:18.220 and down

01:05:19.580 quite a bit

01:05:20.240 in a number

01:05:21.180 of cities.

01:05:22.000 Why would

01:05:22.680 homicide be 0.61

01:05:23.520 down?

01:05:24.560 Go.

01:05:24.880 Give me

01:05:26.260 your theories

01:05:26.780 in the

01:05:27.100 comments.

01:05:27.920 Why would

01:05:28.200 homicide be 0.61

01:05:29.000 down when

01:05:29.620 crime in

01:05:30.160 general is

01:05:30.620 not down?

01:05:32.540 And I'm

01:05:33.160 going to

01:05:33.340 tell you the

01:05:33.760 reason I

01:05:34.260 think is

01:05:34.700 the real

01:05:34.980 reason.

01:05:36.480 It's weird.

01:05:38.820 It's

01:05:39.140 absolutely

01:05:39.600 weird.

01:05:43.560 The drug

01:05:44.280 deaths are

01:05:44.700 higher,

01:05:45.100 you're saying?

01:05:47.660 Well,

01:05:48.180 here's what

01:05:48.500 I think.

01:05:49.520 I think

01:05:49.920 a few of

01:05:52.000 the experts

01:05:52.640 said the

01:05:53.240 following.

01:05:53.580 that

01:05:54.660 throughout

01:05:55.040 American

01:05:55.520 history,

01:05:56.920 homicides 0.50

01:05:57.440 have

01:05:57.840 peaked

01:05:58.300 and then

01:05:59.040 gone down

01:05:59.720 and then

01:06:00.180 peaked

01:06:00.540 and then

01:06:00.980 gone down.

01:06:01.820 Do you

01:06:02.040 know why

01:06:02.300 they peaked

01:06:02.780 and went

01:06:03.120 down in

01:06:03.720 the other

01:06:04.060 times?

01:06:05.280 So in

01:06:05.740 the past,

01:06:06.300 this has

01:06:06.620 happened

01:06:06.900 before.

01:06:07.900 They go

01:06:08.300 way up

01:06:09.360 and they

01:06:09.960 go way

01:06:10.280 down.

01:06:11.520 Why did

01:06:12.900 it happen

01:06:13.240 in the

01:06:13.540 past?

01:06:16.260 Nobody

01:06:16.780 knows.

01:06:17.220 So this

01:06:19.040 is a

01:06:19.420 surprising

01:06:19.860 thing.

01:06:21.160 The

01:06:21.340 experts

01:06:21.860 don't

01:06:22.220 know

01:06:22.440 why

01:06:22.620 homicide

01:06:22.960 goes

01:06:23.340 up

01:06:23.540 and

01:06:23.660 down.

01:06:24.680 Because if

01:06:25.380 it was

01:06:25.640 just because

01:06:26.420 of, let's

01:06:27.000 say,

01:06:27.240 economics,

01:06:28.560 then crime

01:06:29.140 in general

01:06:29.560 would go up

01:06:30.020 and down.

01:06:30.680 If it was

01:06:31.360 because of

01:06:31.920 how policing

01:06:32.620 is done,

01:06:34.080 then crime

01:06:34.680 in general

01:06:35.080 would go up

01:06:35.560 and down.

01:06:36.560 But homicide

01:06:37.080 doesn't move

01:06:37.880 with other

01:06:38.340 violent crime.

01:06:39.100 And so

01:06:40.860 even if

01:06:41.380 it's

01:06:41.560 demographics,

01:06:43.080 all of

01:06:43.740 crime would

01:06:44.220 move with

01:06:44.720 it.

01:06:45.400 Every theory

01:06:46.280 you can

01:06:46.680 come up

01:06:47.140 with doesn't

01:06:48.660 make sense

01:06:49.260 when you

01:06:50.100 look at the

01:06:50.560 other crimes

01:06:51.200 not moving

01:06:51.840 at the

01:06:52.160 same direction.

01:06:53.980 They're not

01:06:54.320 even moving

01:06:54.800 in the same

01:06:55.160 direction,

01:06:56.220 much less

01:06:56.900 rate.

01:06:59.260 So apparently

01:07:00.080 it's just one

01:07:00.640 of these

01:07:00.900 mysterious

01:07:01.680 vibes.

01:07:05.160 So if I

01:07:05.780 had to

01:07:06.040 guess,

01:07:06.860 I'm going

01:07:07.380 to give my

01:07:07.880 hypnotist

01:07:08.500 filter on

01:07:09.060 this.

01:07:10.400 If we

01:07:11.100 know the

01:07:11.760 homicides 0.50

01:07:12.260 do go way

01:07:12.980 up and

01:07:13.300 go way

01:07:13.840 down,

01:07:14.500 and we

01:07:15.020 know it's

01:07:15.360 not because

01:07:15.960 of changes

01:07:16.560 in police

01:07:17.240 or the

01:07:17.760 courts,

01:07:18.840 and we

01:07:19.200 know it's

01:07:20.480 not related

01:07:21.080 to the

01:07:21.440 other crimes,

01:07:22.360 so it's

01:07:22.700 not just

01:07:23.120 about the

01:07:24.440 economy or

01:07:25.140 poverty or

01:07:25.920 even drugs,

01:07:28.080 I have a

01:07:30.320 theory.

01:07:31.820 It's our

01:07:32.580 movies and

01:07:33.180 TV shows

01:07:33.880 and the

01:07:35.060 news.

01:07:36.140 That the

01:07:36.980 public is

01:07:37.740 literally being

01:07:38.500 hypnotized

01:07:39.360 and then

01:07:40.360 unhypnotized

01:07:41.280 based on

01:07:42.500 what shows

01:07:43.460 are in

01:07:43.920 the news.

01:07:45.200 So what

01:07:45.560 movie is

01:07:46.080 popular,

01:07:47.880 and I

01:07:49.640 think that's

01:07:50.100 what causes

01:07:50.600 the murder

01:07:51.080 rates.

01:07:52.200 I think if

01:07:52.960 you see

01:07:53.260 more murder

01:07:53.880 on television,

01:07:54.840 there's more

01:07:55.220 murder in

01:07:55.640 the real

01:07:55.900 world,

01:07:56.240 and if you

01:07:57.700 see less

01:07:58.280 murder on

01:07:59.000 television,

01:07:59.560 there's less

01:07:59.980 murder in

01:08:00.440 the real

01:08:00.700 world.

01:08:01.000 what was

01:08:04.140 one of the

01:08:04.460 things that

01:08:04.820 happened during

01:08:05.680 the pandemic

01:08:07.580 when murder

01:08:08.440 rates went

01:08:08.980 up?

01:08:09.960 People stayed

01:08:10.940 home and

01:08:11.700 they watched

01:08:12.160 a lot more

01:08:12.980 TV and

01:08:14.360 movies.

01:08:15.020 If you

01:08:15.740 watch TV

01:08:16.340 and movies,

01:08:17.380 way more,

01:08:19.100 how much

01:08:19.540 murder are

01:08:20.260 you going to 0.62

01:08:20.580 see?

01:08:21.580 Way more.

01:08:22.920 So the

01:08:23.500 pandemic had

01:08:24.520 way more

01:08:25.060 exposure to

01:08:26.120 fictional murder

01:08:27.540 and way

01:08:28.700 more murder

01:08:29.240 in the real

01:08:29.660 world.

01:08:30.800 Now,

01:08:31.680 fast forward

01:08:32.780 to after

01:08:33.360 the pandemic.

01:08:34.980 Did you

01:08:35.660 notice that

01:08:36.260 there are

01:08:36.940 fewer movies

01:08:37.700 worth watching

01:08:38.460 and fewer

01:08:39.180 TV shows

01:08:39.980 worth watching?

01:08:41.700 Have you

01:08:42.060 all noticed

01:08:42.480 that?

01:08:43.560 That when

01:08:43.960 you go to

01:08:44.340 look for

01:08:44.700 a show,

01:08:45.760 it's like

01:08:46.480 they stop

01:08:47.160 making good

01:08:47.860 ones or

01:08:48.280 something?

01:08:49.840 So there

01:08:50.260 might be

01:08:51.160 just as

01:08:51.620 many shows

01:08:52.240 about murder,

01:08:53.520 but I don't

01:08:54.020 watch them

01:08:54.560 because I'm

01:08:56.440 not trapped

01:08:56.940 indoors.

01:08:57.540 with nothing

01:08:58.240 to do.

01:08:59.120 I have

01:08:59.420 options now.

01:09:00.740 And the

01:09:01.420 movies are

01:09:01.860 terrible and

01:09:02.680 they're all

01:09:02.960 woke.

01:09:04.700 So if

01:09:05.440 there's a

01:09:05.820 show where

01:09:06.220 a whole

01:09:06.440 bunch of

01:09:06.780 people get

01:09:07.240 mowed down

01:09:08.420 and murdered,

01:09:09.220 but it's

01:09:10.060 all woke

01:09:10.640 and I

01:09:11.240 don't want

01:09:11.540 to watch

01:09:11.880 it, I'm

01:09:12.980 going to

01:09:13.160 see way

01:09:13.560 less

01:09:13.800 murder.

01:09:16.600 So my

01:09:17.320 theory is

01:09:17.820 this, that

01:09:19.180 the TV

01:09:19.840 and movie

01:09:20.560 consumption

01:09:21.260 of the

01:09:22.700 potential

01:09:23.200 murderers

01:09:23.900 was very

01:09:25.120 high on

01:09:25.700 murder content

01:09:26.700 during the

01:09:27.220 pandemic and

01:09:27.940 murder was

01:09:28.420 high.

01:09:29.520 And then

01:09:29.700 afterwards, when

01:09:30.540 we all said,

01:09:31.200 hey, why do

01:09:31.740 all the

01:09:32.000 movies and

01:09:32.440 the TV 0.99

01:09:32.800 shows suck? 0.99

01:09:33.960 Why are 1.00

01:09:34.280 they so

01:09:35.080 woke?

01:09:35.700 We stopped

01:09:36.420 watching them

01:09:37.040 as much and

01:09:38.600 that the

01:09:38.920 murder rate

01:09:39.420 went down

01:09:39.920 the same

01:09:40.260 rate.

01:09:40.520 so I

01:09:41.300 said, so I

01:09:41.340 suggest that

01:09:42.920 if you

01:09:43.460 could measure

01:09:44.300 the number

01:09:45.240 of murders

01:09:45.920 the average

01:09:46.500 person sees

01:09:47.380 and you

01:09:48.660 looked at

01:09:49.200 different time

01:09:50.240 periods, you

01:09:51.300 would see

01:09:51.660 that the

01:09:52.340 number of

01:09:52.920 murders people 0.50

01:09:53.700 casually see

01:09:54.580 in fiction is

01:09:56.380 causing the

01:09:57.100 real world

01:09:57.660 murder rate to

01:09:58.320 go up and

01:09:58.700 down.

01:09:59.860 And there

01:10:00.380 might be

01:10:00.920 alpha properties.

01:10:02.680 For

01:10:03.800 example, there

01:10:05.160 might be

01:10:05.720 like a

01:10:06.680 movie that

01:10:08.600 is just so

01:10:09.260 murderous that

01:10:10.840 there's just a

01:10:11.400 lot more

01:10:11.680 murder.

01:10:12.680 Let me give you

01:10:13.260 an example.

01:10:14.020 When the movie

01:10:14.900 Kill Bill was in

01:10:16.140 theaters and it

01:10:17.740 was a big hit and

01:10:18.620 it was just

01:10:18.960 nothing but

01:10:19.540 nonstop violence

01:10:20.540 and murder, do

01:10:22.080 you think that the

01:10:22.820 murder rate might

01:10:24.260 have moved with

01:10:24.880 that?

01:10:25.960 Because my theory

01:10:26.920 says it might

01:10:27.540 have.

01:10:28.280 But you'd

01:10:28.940 have to look at

01:10:29.480 the other

01:10:30.000 things that are

01:10:30.720 happening in the

01:10:31.340 other movies,

01:10:32.020 et cetera.

01:10:32.420 It's not about

01:10:33.200 one movie normally.

01:10:36.520 So that's my

01:10:37.220 theory, ladies and 1.00

01:10:37.960 gentlemen.

01:10:38.360 It's hypnosis

01:10:39.000 because all the

01:10:40.000 other theories

01:10:40.580 don't hold.

01:10:43.320 And we

01:10:43.820 certainly see that

01:10:44.580 there, you know,

01:10:45.220 a lot of people

01:10:45.660 do copycat stuff.

01:10:48.220 A lot of

01:10:48.700 copycats.

01:10:49.320 It might be in

01:10:49.920 the songs as

01:10:50.640 well.

01:10:51.580 You know, I'm

01:10:51.820 not part of the

01:10:52.460 hip-hop culture,

01:10:54.460 but what if

01:10:55.020 the, what if

01:10:56.240 for example,

01:10:58.380 what if three

01:10:58.940 of the top five

01:10:59.980 songs of the

01:11:00.680 year in hip-hop

01:11:02.420 involves somebody

01:11:03.280 killing somebody

01:11:03.940 with a gun? 1.00

01:11:05.840 Hypothetically. 0.99

01:11:07.420 Right?

01:11:08.580 Do you think that

01:11:09.460 would cause people

01:11:10.120 to murder with

01:11:10.900 guns more often?

01:11:12.120 Yes, it

01:11:13.060 absolutely would.

01:11:15.020 Yeah, let's

01:11:15.520 call it the

01:11:15.880 John Wick

01:11:16.300 theory.

01:11:17.600 The murder rate

01:11:18.380 goes up whenever

01:11:19.060 John Wick has a

01:11:20.080 hit movie in

01:11:21.860 the theaters.

01:11:22.260 You see

01:11:26.200 murder all

01:11:26.840 day long on

01:11:27.460 social media.

01:11:28.980 Yeah, but on

01:11:30.180 social media, it

01:11:31.160 often gets put in

01:11:31.960 context, a

01:11:33.180 different kind of

01:11:33.740 context.

01:11:35.660 It's not really

01:11:36.640 glorified so much

01:11:38.220 on social media,

01:11:39.380 but in movies, it

01:11:40.420 is glorified in a

01:11:42.040 sense.

01:11:44.700 All right, ladies 1.00

01:11:45.460 and gentlemen,

01:11:45.860 that's all I have

01:11:46.380 for you.

01:11:46.820 So I'm going to

01:11:47.180 say goodbye to

01:11:47.760 the non-local

01:11:49.500 subscribers.

01:11:50.200 And so I'll

01:11:52.320 see you tomorrow

01:11:52.860 if you're on X

01:11:53.640 or YouTube or

01:11:54.300 Rumble, but

01:11:55.620 local subscribers,

01:11:57.000 hang with me.

01:11:57.800 I'm going to

01:11:58.140 talk to you

01:11:58.560 privately because

01:11:59.880 you're beloved

01:12:01.100 subscribers.

01:12:02.820 All right.
