Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2480 CWSA 05⧸20⧸24

00:00:00.520 Wow.

00:00:01.300 Wow, is it going to get better.

00:00:03.900 And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand

00:00:08.300 with their tiny, smooth human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:13.180 a tank or a chalice or a styon, a canteen jug or a glass, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:17.420 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:18.860 I like coffee.

00:00:20.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:23.320 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:24.700 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:30.000 Ah, very satisfying.

00:00:35.980 Very satisfying.

00:00:38.980 Well, today will be a little experiment and entertainment.

00:00:43.140 We're going to do something a little bit different.

00:00:45.040 I'm going to do a bunch of technology and other news toward the end,

00:00:50.840 which I have not quite prepared for, but thank you, Owen.

00:00:54.520 We're going to talk about some of that at the end.

00:00:57.460 So wait for the interesting stuff at the end.

00:01:00.480 So that makes you stay here until the end.

00:01:02.320 You're thinking, I wonder if there really is some interesting things at the end.

00:01:06.140 Well, I'm a little unprepared because I did a thing.

00:01:09.600 I know some of you have done this before, but tell me if any of you have ever tried this before.

00:01:13.980 I slept until my body just woke up on its own because I forgot to set my alarm last night.

00:01:23.460 When was the last time you did that?

00:01:25.260 I don't remember doing that since I was a child.

00:01:29.660 I've never not had an alarm set.

00:01:33.700 Do you ever just wake up naturally without an alarm on the weekends or something?

00:01:38.900 Do you do that?

00:01:40.580 You just wake up naturally.

00:01:43.240 It's when you've had enough rest.

00:01:44.840 I actually have this weird feeling today of being completely rested and I don't know what

00:01:51.820 to do with it.

00:01:53.360 Anything could happen today.

00:01:56.340 I could be endorsing Joe Biden today.

00:01:58.780 Anything could happen.

00:01:59.800 My brain is completely different because I'm all rested, but I'm a little less prepared.

00:02:03.980 Let's talk about the news.

00:02:06.680 Do you know Angela Davis, famous black, what would you call her, advocate, sort of back

00:02:15.740 in the old hippie days?

00:02:17.600 But anyway, she's a famous black American advocate for all things black.

00:02:23.280 And she did one of those DNA tests and found out that while she's been spending her entire

00:02:30.900 life fighting against the evil colonizers, it turns out that one of her ancestors was

00:02:37.580 one of the original 101 pilgrims on the Mayflower.

00:02:42.900 So it turns out she's descended from a long line of colonizers, if you call the pilgrims colonizers.

00:02:52.740 I think I would call them people escaping from Europe, but it's a funnier story if you call 0.99

00:02:58.220 them colonizers.

00:02:58.940 And Wokeness had that story on X.

00:03:04.360 Well, there's a question whether AI, well, of course, we're going to talk about Iran.

00:03:08.880 I'll get to Iran. 0.99

00:03:09.680 I just like give people a few minutes to come in.

00:03:14.780 So Andreessen Horowitz, the VC firm, thinks that AI companions could replace real relationships,

00:03:21.740 but some say it can't replace human touch and real interaction.

00:03:27.440 How many of you think that AI will never be able to replace human interaction?

00:03:33.100 Well, I might be a little ahead of some of you in that I've been experimenting with this

00:03:39.960 replacing of human interaction thing.

00:03:41.880 And I'm nearly done building my own AI that's based on me and talks like me.

00:03:50.440 So I'm using the Delphi.ai app.

00:03:55.220 And it lets you upload all any documents or information or videos that would be part of a specific training

00:04:03.240 database.

00:04:03.760 So I've trained an AI to be me.

00:04:07.600 And so now that I've got enough information in there to have a long conversation, I was preparing

00:04:15.720 some food last night and I thought, you know, what would be fun to have a conversation with

00:04:20.580 me?

00:04:21.760 And so I turned it on, had a long conversation about the nature of free will and, you know,

00:04:27.240 what career things work better.

00:04:28.800 And it actually did answer all of the questions like me.

00:04:34.620 I didn't find a single question that it didn't answer the way the live human would have.

00:04:40.580 Now use different words.

00:04:42.560 Sometimes I would have worded things a little differently, but sure enough, sure enough.

00:04:48.580 And it wasn't bad.

00:04:52.320 It wasn't as good as human interaction.

00:04:54.500 It's different, but it did entertain me.

00:04:56.780 And it definitely would have been better than watching a movie.

00:05:00.500 So I think what it's going to replace is terrible scripted entertainment.

00:05:07.200 I don't think it's going to replace as much human interaction, but it will replace the things

00:05:14.340 you were just sort of watching with your headphones on.

00:05:16.980 You might prefer having a conversation because when you have a conversation with the AI, it also

00:05:23.260 knows everything about the real world.

00:05:25.060 So I can talk to a version of me that knows everything that I know that was important enough to put in a book

00:05:32.040 or in a video.

00:05:34.300 It knows all of that.

00:05:35.940 But in addition, I could ask it something that only Wikipedia knows, and it will know that,

00:05:41.580 but it will know it in my voice.

00:05:43.640 It's pretty cool.

00:05:44.860 I'm having trouble training it to get some of the details right without hallucinating,

00:05:48.060 but I think I can fix that.

00:05:51.000 I don't know.

00:05:52.900 So the thing is, the thing you can't get from robots is the oxytocin.

00:05:59.080 And oxytocin is the thing that makes you feel good and loved and not lonely.

00:06:05.040 Here's what I think.

00:06:05.940 I think you're going to get the oxytocin as a separate drug, which, by the way, can be done

00:06:12.320 now.

00:06:12.680 Did you know that?

00:06:13.820 Here's one of my biggest mysteries.

00:06:16.500 I genuinely don't understand this.

00:06:19.800 And I might have a fact wrong.

00:06:21.560 That might be why I don't understand it.

00:06:23.680 We know for sure there's this human drug that the body produces called oxytocin.

00:06:29.780 It's really the only thing that makes you feel good.

00:06:33.280 Let me say that again.

00:06:34.400 It's the only thing that makes you feel good.

00:06:36.880 The dopamine can make you feel excited in sort of a, I had a couple of drinks kind of

00:06:41.480 a way, not, you know, not really a lasting way, but the oxytocin is a thing that makes

00:06:47.120 you perfectly happy just sitting where you are.

00:06:49.560 It's like, I'm just happy.

00:06:51.420 I don't care what I'm doing.

00:06:52.620 I'm in a relationship.

00:06:54.120 Somebody loves me.

00:06:55.160 Somebody just hugged me.

00:06:56.640 You just feel good.

00:06:57.400 Now, here's the weird part.

00:07:00.140 Apparently, I'll take a fact check on this.

00:07:03.140 You can give somebody that drug.

00:07:05.740 You can put it in, I think, in a needle or a pill or something.

00:07:09.200 And there are some people who just don't produce it.

00:07:11.320 So I think you can just give it to them.

00:07:13.300 But here's the thing.

00:07:15.660 What would happen if you gave it to somebody who didn't have a medical problem?

00:07:19.920 They just wanted a little more oxytocin.

00:07:22.020 I feel like there's this giant medical secret out there that they could make everybody happy

00:07:28.400 with an oxytocin, you know, pill or injection.

00:07:33.060 And I feel like they know if they started giving it to people, it would be the end of

00:07:36.880 civilization because we wouldn't need other people.

00:07:41.020 It is the drug that makes you need other people.

00:07:44.840 Imagine giving somebody this drug and they just feel good.

00:07:47.360 They would genuinely feel good.

00:07:50.020 They would have nothing that they need.

00:07:52.340 And they would be able to do their work.

00:07:55.220 You'd be able to drive because it doesn't affect your physicality.

00:08:00.180 It would be the end of civilization because it's literally the drug that makes you even

00:08:07.200 want to touch another person.

00:08:09.560 So just think about that.

00:08:10.940 We're probably one pill away from the end of civilization.

00:08:14.620 No, we're probably one pill away from being happy that you have a robot and it makes you

00:08:18.600 perfectly satisfied to have a robot.

00:08:20.960 So if you could make your robot have a conversation with you and bring you your oxytocin pill and

00:08:26.380 make you take it every morning, that would be called a full relationship.

00:08:33.320 All right.

00:08:33.920 Well, the Pope has come out and he's denounced attempts to close the southern border.

00:08:39.920 He says it's madness.

00:08:41.000 It's madness, I say, and that those people need to be cared for with empathy and compassion.

00:08:46.220 All of them, all 20, 30 million of them.

00:08:49.720 And I'm wondering how long it will take Ron DeSantis to start shipping migrants to Vatican 0.99

00:08:59.180 City.

00:09:00.820 Because you know what?

00:09:02.480 No, I'm not joking. 1.00

00:09:03.920 How about we ship the Pope about a million fucking migrants and just dump them right in 1.00

00:09:09.140 Vatican City and say, why don't you maybe mind your own business? 1.00

00:09:13.720 How about you just stay out of this?

00:09:16.220 How about once it's your problem, you tell us how you like it? 0.99

00:09:19.340 Why don't you just sell your fucking Vatican, put that money into taking care of the poor, 0.99

00:09:24.420 and then we'll talk. 1.00

00:09:27.460 All right.

00:09:29.740 No disrespect, Ben, to the many wonderful Catholic people.

00:09:34.660 But your leader needs to stay out of this one.

00:09:37.520 Please?

00:09:39.140 I like it when he appears every six months to remind us he doesn't like war.

00:09:43.680 It's like, wait a minute.

00:09:45.560 I haven't heard from the Pope in six months.

00:09:48.720 Do you think he's maybe changed his view on war?

00:09:51.340 Is he maybe more in favor of war now?

00:09:53.900 And then he'll come out and you'll say, I am not in favor of war.

00:09:57.620 And I'll say, I was a little bit worried that he'd flipped on that.

00:10:02.980 But no, he reminds us he doesn't like war.

00:10:07.500 Well, you remember the dust up in Congress between the woman with the two big eyelashes and Marjorie Taylor Greene.

00:10:15.480 Now, what you might not know since it wasn't always on camera, the woman that Marjorie Taylor Greene was arguing with before AOC got into it was Representative Jasmine Crockett. 1.00

00:10:26.800 And she's black, which is important to the story.

00:10:33.020 And she says on an interview that she wants all the Trump supporters to know that I will always be smarter than you. 0.87

00:10:43.040 Really?

00:10:43.600 She's smarter than all the Trump supporters? 0.99

00:10:48.760 All of them?

00:10:50.680 If she and I sat down and took the SATs, she'd smoke me? 1.00

00:10:57.260 Is that what she's saying?

00:10:58.340 And apparently she's a little prickly because she said without being prompted, oh, you can call me a DEI hire if you want.

00:11:08.560 I'm smarter than all of the MAGA people.

00:11:13.160 Do you know what a MAGA person never would have said? 0.99

00:11:17.440 I'm smarter than all black people. 0.96

00:11:20.400 Or I'm smarter than all Democrats. 0.98

00:11:24.520 It's something a MAGA person wouldn't say.

00:11:26.460 Do you know why?

00:11:28.340 Well, they're not DEI hires, for one thing.

00:11:33.800 No, my point is that the DEI thing is doing its job.

00:11:41.040 If you were to design a system that, let's say you wanted to design a system to not work, how would you design it?

00:11:53.700 I think DEI is that system.

00:11:56.080 On paper, it can only fail.

00:11:58.340 Why?

00:11:59.180 Why?

00:12:00.340 Because if it succeeds in its, let's say, lower level goal, which is to hire and promote and put into positions of power, more people who would not have had the chance otherwise.

00:12:13.900 So that's the stated goal.

00:12:16.780 But what is the obvious impact of that if you don't have enough supply?

00:12:22.400 The obvious impact is you hire a whole bunch of people who are unqualified because it's more important for you to hit that goal of diversity.

00:12:31.180 And maybe you worry about later, you can worry about the competence of the people.

00:12:34.980 But at least you hit your goal.

00:12:36.600 Now, in the real world, nothing happens the way Mark Cuban says it should, where all DEI really does, according to Mark Cuban, is make companies try harder to get good, diverse hires.

00:12:50.160 Now, I'm totally in favor of working harder to try to make sure that you've got diverse hires.

00:12:57.080 But in the real world, everybody knows that that causes real ordinary people, white people, to go hire anything that isn't white because that's how you win. 0.76

00:13:10.420 And everybody likes to win.

00:13:11.760 So if you want to win, you're going to distort the systems, hire as many people as you can to get your diversity number up because that's what's being measured.

00:13:22.360 You know, maybe somewhere in the future, you'll also be measured on performance, but not right away.

00:13:27.880 Have you ever heard that people will respond to their immediate needs before they think about the long term?

00:13:35.440 Their immediate need is to keep their own job.

00:13:38.280 So they've got to get the diversity number up.

00:13:40.200 That's the immediate need.

00:13:41.760 And if you don't do that, you won't be there for anything to happen later.

00:13:46.600 You just won't be employed.

00:13:48.500 So you've got to get to the diversity number first and maybe worry about what you'll do about the rest later.

00:13:53.700 Change jobs if you have to.

00:13:56.760 So the fact that she needed to defend herself from being, quote, a DEI hire, or as some of us like to call it, didn't earn it,

00:14:07.440 means that the shine has gone off of DEI.

00:14:11.760 And that's what you want.

00:14:13.560 You want a world where, you know, the hard work and the putting in the effort and being good at your job is what we care about the most.

00:14:22.360 And ideally, if you want to make a fair world, you would fix the educational system at the youngest level, which is where all of the systemic racism comes from, in my opinion.

00:14:34.300 Maybe 80%.

00:14:36.140 I'd say 80% of systemic racism, which I think is real.

00:14:40.980 Some of you might debate me, but I think it looks real to me.

00:14:44.980 I think it comes in the early childhood.

00:14:46.860 If you don't get a good education, everything else just goes to hell.

00:14:49.740 So, and you might take it back another level and say it has something to do with the family situation.

00:14:56.420 But I think you can at least fix it in the schools.

00:14:59.000 It's a little harder to fix the family situation once the kid has been born.

00:16:06.780 Well, let's talk about that Iranian leader.

00:16:10.200 Was it president or prime minister?

00:16:12.140 It's a president, right?

00:16:13.880 I think president.

00:16:14.460 Well, if you didn't know, the president in Iran is not too important.

00:16:19.920 It's not like a president in the United States.

00:16:22.600 In Iran, their system is the supreme leader.

00:16:25.160 The religious leaders have the control of the military and the nukes and the geopolitical decisions, all the big stuff.

00:16:31.760 And then the president makes sure that the little stuff gets taken care of.

00:16:35.800 It's president, yes, not prime minister.

00:16:38.060 So the president, whose name I'd never heard of because it wasn't important to anything, died in a helicopter crash.

00:16:48.380 Now, when I saw the crash site and I knew that it was in the fog, I guess there were three helicopters involved, but two of them turned back because it was too foggy.

00:16:58.440 And one didn't turn back.

00:17:00.640 It went full Kobe Bryant and looks like it plowed into a mountainside.

00:17:05.300 Now, I have a question because I've never flown a helicopter or an airplane.

00:17:11.200 You've got an altimeter.

00:17:14.040 But the altimeter isn't going to tell you that you're flying directly into the side of a mountain, right?

00:17:19.460 Like it'll register it, but not until it's too late because of the steepness of the hillside you're going into.

00:17:26.220 Is that right?

00:17:26.720 So you would think you're way above the ground until you hit a wall, wouldn't you?

00:17:33.240 Because the altimeter is just telling you the altimeter isn't telling you how far you are from a mountain.

00:17:38.260 It's telling you how far you are from the valley in front of the mountain, I think.

00:17:42.800 So it's not too hard to understand how they hit a mountain in the fog.

00:17:48.140 But you also wonder why they weren't flying on instruments.

00:17:52.580 So I guess I have a – don't helicopters fly in instruments?

00:17:58.240 They would have to, right?

00:17:59.460 It's not just an airplane thing, is it?

00:18:02.740 I would think that you'd be trained for this situation and that your GPS would tell you there's a mountain there.

00:18:10.440 Now, my understanding is a modern pilot would have something like an iPad.

00:18:16.000 And the iPad should show you basically the entire terrain, whether you can see it with your eyes or not, right?

00:18:21.700 And it would also help you plot a path that avoided all the mountains.

00:18:26.440 And then you would just fly according to that path.

00:18:29.480 So I don't exactly know.

00:18:31.860 Yeah, I don't exactly know how a helicopter that would be equipped enough and trained enough with the pilot, probably two pilots, that you would have this kind of an accident.

00:18:44.380 But on the other hand, the other two helicopters turned back.

00:18:47.860 So the fact that the other two helicopters said it was too dangerous certainly suggests that flying on instruments wouldn't be good enough, at least according to two of the three pilots.

00:18:58.960 Now, some of you are going to speculate that Israel did something clever like jamming the electronics or something. 0.73

00:19:07.740 But given that the other two pilots who were there that same time with the same decision apparently thought it was too dangerous, this suggests that you wouldn't need any jamming of equipment to get this outcome.

00:19:18.920 Now, if you're going to go all the way to, well, Israel is so smart that they knew if they could jam it when it got close to a mountain, it would look exactly like a natural accident. 0.74

00:19:33.220 Yeah, okay.

00:19:35.600 But that's a little too clever.

00:19:38.320 I'm going to say I reject that for being not impossible.

00:19:43.400 It's not impossible, but it seems unlikely. 0.87

00:19:50.140 Now, if I were going to kill somebody with a clever plan like that, here's how I'd do it.

00:19:57.660 I'd get somebody on the inside to switch out their altimeter with a fake altimeter, and I'd reprogram their iPad, and it's just too hard.

00:20:06.940 Yeah, I don't think you could do it.

00:20:09.060 I think at the moment that their equipment got jammed, you know, they might just say, uh, we better, you know, just go down soft wherever we are and wait for it.

00:20:21.360 So I don't believe the, I don't believe it was anything but an accident.

00:20:24.620 Even Iran is saying it's just an accident.

00:20:27.220 And you know Iran would try to blame Israel, right? 0.63

00:20:30.100 If they could blame them at all, they would.

00:20:33.200 So I'm going to say the odds of Israel being involved are low.

00:20:37.300 Well, but here's the really interesting intrigue.

00:20:42.080 Not only, uh, his name is Raisi, R-A-I-S-I.

00:20:46.340 I may be pronouncing it incorrectly because I've only read about it.

00:20:49.520 I haven't heard his name, but Raisi.

00:20:52.120 Anyway, um, some are saying that in Tehran they're celebrating his death.

00:20:56.900 Uh, well, at the college campuses, they, they might be mourning it, which is weird.

00:21:02.220 So I don't believe stories about who's celebrating anything.

00:21:08.680 That, that by its nature is a more likely fake news because do you imagine that Iran acts like one person? 0.73

00:21:17.360 Do you imagine that if somebody at that level dies, that every person is celebrating?

00:21:24.800 That's not likely, is it?

00:21:26.920 Don't you think that maybe a few people did celebrate, but we don't know what percentage?

00:21:31.440 This is one of those, if you know that, if you know the, the number, but not the percentage, it doesn't tell you anything.

00:21:38.820 What if a hundred people were in Tehran celebrating?

00:21:42.040 What does that tell you?

00:21:44.040 Nothing.

00:21:44.900 It's a hundred people.

00:21:46.820 Did the other millions of people in Tehran, were they crying?

00:21:51.480 I mean, you kind of need to know that, right?

00:21:52.960 So if the only thing you know is that a bunch of people were celebrating and you don't know what percentage that is, it's kind of a nothing.

00:22:01.220 It's a little bit of a propaganda, but we'll find out.

00:22:05.560 I suppose we'll find out in the coming days.

00:22:08.120 All right.

00:22:08.340 But here's the most interesting part about this story.

00:22:11.040 Apparently, the supreme leader, the religious leader, and I'm not even going to try to pronounce his name right, because there are too many Khameneis and Khameneis and Khameneis and Khameneis. 0.88

00:22:26.180 Can we all agree that it's just something like Khameneis?

00:22:28.740 Will you all give me a pass?

00:22:32.620 I'm just going to mumble his name from now on.

00:22:37.020 I'm not even going to try.

00:22:38.840 All right.

00:22:39.800 So anyway, the supreme leader is like 85.

00:22:42.680 He's not going to last too much longer.

00:22:44.400 So the question is, who is going to replace him?

00:22:46.540 And the guy who just died was considered the likely heir, and he was 62.

00:22:54.140 So if he'd taken over, it would have been maybe a few decades of that guy.

00:22:59.580 But now that he's gone, the rumors are that the next in line, or the person most likely talked about, is the supreme leader's own son.

00:23:13.760 Now, that's a problem.

00:23:16.540 That's a big problem, because it turns out that if you remember what the Iranian Revolution was all about, the whole point of the Iranian Revolution was to get rid of the kingdom, the king, because it was a hereditary situation.

00:23:35.500 Wait a minute.

00:23:36.600 Why do you get to be king just because your father was king?

00:23:39.680 Well, I'm the son of the king.

00:23:41.880 Wait a minute.

00:23:43.480 We don't like that.

00:23:44.280 We're going to overthrow you.

00:23:45.280 You know, the monarchy was not liked.

00:23:47.940 But what happens if you're a religious leader, who is a symbol of the person who got rid of that monarchy, what happens if his son becomes the next supreme leader?

00:24:01.200 Well, there's some thought that the Iranians would say, nope, nope.

00:24:05.080 That's a violation of everything that gave you legitimacy.

00:24:09.200 So it could be that, you know, in case he does it anyway, because you could easily imagine the Ayatollah would want his son in there, even if it's kind of risky.

00:24:20.560 So some are saying this would be the trigger for the big internal revolution.

00:24:27.260 And then it gets you right back to, wait a minute.

00:24:31.980 Are you telling me that killing this one guy, this one guy of all the people in Iran might be the single most important lever to ending the, let's say, the evil regime? 0.98

00:24:46.540 That one person, more important than even if you'd killed the head, because if you'd killed the supreme leader, probably would just be replaced with another supreme leader.

00:24:57.280 But this is the only person in the entire country who could set up this situation where the supreme leader might be in a position of reproducing the monarchy, which would be the most likely situation would cause an internal revolution.

00:25:11.660 Does that seem likely that the only person who could cause the complete dissolution of the government is the one who died in a foggy helicopter accident at exactly the time that Israel would want that to happen?

00:25:29.380 I don't know.

00:25:31.080 There are a few coincidences here, aren't there?

00:25:33.560 On one hand, if it's too dangerous to fly and one of the three helicopter pilots did it anyway and ran into the side of a mountain like Kobe Bryant exactly the way you'd expect an accident to look, and there's no indication from the Iranians there was anything but an accident, it makes you wonder. 0.96

00:25:56.420 I'm going to add another rumor just to make it a little harder for the Iranian regime.

00:26:01.940 You ready for this?

00:26:04.160 I haven't heard this yet, but I assume that somebody's saying this.

00:26:07.620 Can you tell me if you've heard this yet?

00:26:10.560 The most likely perpetrator is not Israel.

00:26:15.320 It's the Ayatollah's son.

00:26:17.860 The Ayatollah's son had only one person to get out of the way before being the supreme leader of Iran.

00:26:25.280 So it could be that the Ayatollah's son took him out one way or another.

00:26:31.540 I mean, the Ayatollah's son would have more access to, let's say, planting a bomb on a helicopter or something if that's what happened.

00:26:39.540 And it could be that they just waited until it was foggy so it looked like an accident, maybe.

00:26:45.540 But then how did it perfectly hit the side of a mountain?

00:26:48.420 The fact that they hit the side of the mountain, that makes it probably 80% likely it was accidental.

00:26:57.000 And then all the other coincidences, which are major.

00:26:59.920 I mean, you can't get a bigger coincidence than that.

00:27:02.840 That the only person, the only person who could bring down the regime, who wasn't the head of the regime.

00:27:08.860 I mean, that's a really big coincidence.

00:27:11.000 So I'm going to say 20% likely there's something going on behind the scenes that we didn't know about.

00:27:19.040 But I think a more likely candidate would be the Ayatollah's son or the Ayatollah himself, more likely than even Israel.

00:27:29.080 So Troy, New York, the founder of the AI chipmaker NVIDIA, wants to start a quantum computing Silicon Valley in upstate New York.

00:27:44.840 Now, Troy, New York happens to be the birthplace of my father and the place I've been a number of times.

00:27:52.300 And I don't know if he knows what the weather is like in Troy, New York.

00:27:57.900 Apparently, he went to school somewhere in that area, Rensselaer.

00:28:02.980 And why would anybody put a business in upstate New York?

00:28:10.040 Have you ever been to Troy?

00:28:12.400 Troy, New York.

00:28:14.640 Do you know what you want to do when you get to Troy, New York?

00:28:18.080 You want to leave as soon as you can.

00:28:21.120 You're like, get me out of Troy, New York.

00:28:23.560 Now, I don't know.

00:28:24.200 Maybe it's better since I was there.

00:28:25.860 It may have improved.

00:28:27.060 I should not make fun of Troy, New York.

00:28:29.400 It may have improved since I was there.

00:28:34.260 That was your alma mater, too?

00:28:36.060 Or is there somebody here who actually went to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute?

00:28:42.240 So anyway, maybe there'll be a giant Silicon Valley that they will call Quantum Valley in upstate New York.

00:28:49.420 Maybe.

00:28:52.020 Well, Byron Donald is posting about Joe Biden.

00:28:57.860 He was doing some interviews.

00:28:59.060 And he's talking about Biden's potential drug use while he's giving speeches.

00:29:04.840 So, you know, Trump brought this up.

00:29:07.140 He says that Biden has to be drug tested because he must be all juiced up.

00:29:11.360 So this is what Byron Donald says about Biden.

00:29:14.580 He comes in jacked up.

00:29:16.080 He winds down.

00:29:17.040 He's diminished by the end.

00:29:18.720 There should be drug testing before the presidential debate. 1.00

00:29:21.620 And there is a reason why the White House is hiding the her audio.

00:29:24.900 We deserve to know the capability of our POTUS, which I agree with, of course.

00:29:28.800 But let me just tie a couple of stories together.

00:29:33.940 Remember how I was talking about Eyelash Woman and how she's being called a DEI hire? 0.96

00:29:42.240 Do you know who has never once been called a DEI hire?

00:29:46.320 Byron Donalds.

00:29:48.100 Do you know why nobody calls Byron Donalds a DEI hire?

00:29:52.340 Because within 10 seconds of opening his mouth, you say, oh, you belong there.

00:29:59.600 Am I right?

00:30:01.080 When Byron Donalds opens his mouth, it takes you all of 10 seconds maximum, maximum 10 seconds.

00:30:08.540 And you say, oh, you belong in that job.

00:30:11.980 In fact, when you see him talk, you say to yourself, vice president, maybe president.

00:30:19.220 Am I right?

00:30:21.060 I have a rule of thumb.

00:30:25.240 It goes like this.

00:30:26.140 Racism only lasts until you start talking.

00:30:33.860 Racism only lasts, at least racism against you specifically.

00:30:38.260 It only lasts until you start talking.

00:30:40.040 And it immediately changes into, who are you? 0.93

00:30:45.180 Let me give you a, if you're black and you're watching, let me give you one of the best pieces of advice. 0.96

00:30:51.740 Let's say you divide, just to simplify, divide white people into racists and non-racists. 0.94

00:30:58.580 And then you're trying to manage that world where white people are either racist or non-racist and you can't tell the difference.

00:31:04.800 Well, let's say you go to a job at a big Fortune 500 company.

00:31:09.700 If you run into somebody who's a non-racist, a white person, that's great because not only will they be non-racist, they're far more likely to be pro-DEI and to give you more of a lift over the other candidates.

00:31:23.560 So, if you run into a non-racist white person, you will not only be treated as an equal, you will be treated as a superior.

00:31:32.100 Did you know that? 0.96

00:31:33.380 If you're black, did you know that?

00:31:35.780 That non-racist white people will be so deferential and, you know, so wanting to display their non-racism that they'll go way beyond what they would go for even another white person. 0.85

00:31:48.020 Now, what if you run into a racist? 1.00

00:31:51.600 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:31:52.880 That's a bad situation, right? 1.00

00:31:56.000 Until you open your mouth.

00:31:58.360 Let's take Byron Donalds as my example person.

00:32:02.340 He walks into a, somehow he accidentally gets, you know, a job interview because his name doesn't sound black, right? 0.97

00:32:09.220 So, let's say he gets the interview because the person interviewing him is a big old racist but doesn't see by his name that it sounds like it's going to be a black candidate. 0.96

00:32:19.860 So, Byron Donalds walks in. 0.98

00:32:21.760 The racist goes, oh, if I'd known, I wouldn't have even given him an interview. 0.94

00:32:26.800 I didn't know he was black. 0.54

00:32:28.640 Then Byron, he walks in perfectly dressed, really presents himself really well, starts talking.

00:32:36.280 How long does it take the racist to do this? 0.94

00:32:41.900 Holy cow. 0.89

00:32:43.420 This guy is great.

00:32:45.960 I'm hiring him immediately.

00:32:48.080 Do you know why?

00:32:49.380 Do you know what a racist really, really wants to do?

00:32:52.860 Prove they're not a racist.

00:32:55.320 The racist wants to hire him even more than the non-racist to prove that they're not a racist.

00:33:02.380 Then later they can spew their racist stuff. 0.56

00:33:04.720 And when somebody calls them, they can say, look, look at Byron.

00:33:08.720 I'm not racist against Byron.

00:33:10.520 He's awesome.

00:33:11.760 I'm just saying other people, blah, blah, blah, whatever the racist is going to say. 0.95

00:33:16.640 The thing that black people don't understand is that you have an advantage with non-racist white people because they want to help you. 0.92

00:33:25.100 But you also have an advantage with racists because they want to prove they're not racists. 0.96

00:33:31.020 You have to just spend 10 seconds proving you're not a bad candidate.

00:33:38.140 So you get judged on yourself in the first 10 seconds.

00:33:42.980 Well, after the first 10 seconds.

00:33:45.000 For the first 10 seconds, the racist is just saying, oh, I made a mistake even giving you an interview.

00:33:49.600 If 10 seconds later you're speaking, you know, smartly and politely and all the ways that everybody expects in a job interview, it's gone.

00:34:01.260 And immediately you go right to the top of the list.

00:34:03.420 It's, oh, wow.

00:34:04.620 I can hire this guy and we'd get along fine.

00:34:07.220 He goes to the same church I go to, have the same hobbies.

00:34:10.600 He's got the qualifications.

00:34:12.500 I totally want to have this person.

00:34:14.240 So I don't think that people understand that racism only lasts 10 seconds, even with a racist.

00:34:21.500 Now, suppose you got hired there and then the racist says some racist things later.

00:34:25.600 You would be able to talk to them because you would have already earned their respect as just an individual.

00:34:31.680 You could have any conversation you wanted.

00:34:34.580 So I'm not sure people completely understand that, that the first, the racism only lasts 10 seconds.

00:34:41.540 Once you're in person.

00:34:42.480 Before you're in person, it's a bad situation.

00:34:46.460 It could be.

00:34:49.320 So what the hell happened to Senator Marco Rubio?

00:34:53.700 Has anybody noticed some kind of weird change in him lately?

00:34:59.900 Do you know what I'm talking about?

00:35:02.500 Before I say it, I wonder if you're noticing.

00:35:04.880 There's something happened.

00:35:07.240 You know what it feels like?

00:35:08.560 I'm going to put words into his mouth so he never said anything like this. 1.00

00:35:15.340 It sounds like he's done with this bullshit. 1.00

00:35:19.700 That's what it sounds like to me. 0.99

00:35:20.940 Let me just read back a little bit of his interview with Kristen Welker on Meet the Press.

00:35:27.320 Now, this is just a sample, but trust me, the rest of it was just as strong.

00:35:34.660 Rubio is really, I don't know.

00:35:37.540 I used to judge him as being too young appearing.

00:35:41.800 Did anybody have that feeling?

00:35:43.820 He has kind of a boyish look about him, but now he's growing out of it a little bit.

00:35:47.140 He seemed a little too not ready the first time he ran against Trump.

00:35:52.660 But I'll tell you, when I see him in public now, it looks like he's really grown into the position, I guess, I'd say.

00:36:03.200 But just listen to this.

00:36:04.220 So Kristen Welker says on Meet the Press,

00:36:06.200 Do you support Trump's deportation plan?

00:36:10.920 And he said, so this is summarized.

00:36:14.920 But first, she said, do you support deporting the 10 or 11 million migrants?

00:36:23.040 And Rubio won't let her ask that question.

00:36:27.900 It's like, 10 or 11?

00:36:30.220 That number is so outdated.

00:36:31.920 He goes, it's like 25 to 30 million.

00:36:34.160 And he just jumps all over, just perfectly.

00:36:37.760 You know, he went in strong.

00:36:39.560 And then he says, to the answer to the question, would you support his deportation plan?

00:36:43.980 He says, yes.

00:36:44.880 We cannot absorb 25 to 30 million people who enter this country illegally. 1.00

00:36:49.820 And then later she says, will you accept the election results no matter what happens?

00:36:54.100 He goes, no matter what happens?

00:36:56.100 No.

00:36:59.280 No matter what happens?

00:37:01.280 No.

00:37:01.760 That's the right answer. 1.00

00:37:04.660 The right answer is, is just like shocked that anybody would be so fucking stupid to ask that question. 0.99

00:37:11.240 What do you mean no matter what happens? 1.00

00:37:13.660 No matter what happens?

00:37:15.720 No matter what happens?

00:37:17.960 No.

00:37:18.920 How about no?

00:37:20.420 No, no, and no.

00:37:22.360 And then he drops in this.

00:37:24.100 No.

00:37:24.420 The Democrats are the ones who opposed every Republican victory since 2000.

00:37:29.200 Yes.

00:37:30.380 Yes.

00:37:31.220 Senator Marco Rubio.

00:37:32.900 That is the correct answer.

00:37:35.100 Strong.

00:37:38.200 And then she said, are Donald Trump's claims undermining the American confidence in democracy?

00:37:45.160 And he says, I think what undermines people's confidence in the elections is when you have

00:37:50.400 places like Wisconsin, though there were over 500 illegal Dropbox locations, when you

00:37:55.900 have places like Georgia where liberal groups are paying people $10 per vote.

00:38:01.900 What undermines elections is when NBC News and every major news outlet in America in 2020 censored

00:38:07.780 the Biden laptop story, boom, that's what I'm talking about.

00:38:14.940 So that's a, that's a Republican who has fully found his voice.

00:38:19.780 I want, I want every Republican to sound exactly like this because every part of this was professional.

00:38:28.820 It was professional.

00:38:30.480 It was well-informed.

00:38:31.780 It was very confident that the level of confidence that he presented with his opinion and, and

00:38:40.260 he didn't go too far.

00:38:42.180 Like you can go too far into mocking the fake news, but he didn't do that.

00:38:46.720 He just laid it out with facts.

00:38:48.320 He said, here's the facts.

00:38:49.700 Here's the facts.

00:38:50.300 Here's the facts.

00:38:51.240 Yes.

00:38:51.940 Here's the facts.

00:38:52.660 Here's the facts.

00:38:53.600 No.

00:38:54.840 I loved it.

00:38:55.580 Yeah.

00:38:56.620 I recommend watching the full video because you've never seen him in, you've never seen

00:39:01.900 him in that form.

00:39:02.680 He's grown into, he's grown into what I would call a, you know, national leadership kind

00:39:07.900 of a vibe.

00:39:10.520 All right.

00:39:11.340 But the Amuse account has an article today, which I highly recommend.

00:39:17.880 I post, reposted it.

00:39:20.180 And here's something I didn't know.

00:39:22.220 And the way do you know it, just listen to this.

00:39:30.380 And if you're not sitting down, you might want to be.

00:39:34.000 And if you're near anything, you might want to punch like your own window or a wall in

00:39:39.560 your house, step back a couple of feet, just on a punching range, because you're going to

00:39:45.040 want to punch something. 0.89

00:39:46.860 I swear you're going to want to punch something. 0.95

00:39:49.320 All right.

00:39:49.600 So calm down and listen to this story, which, by the way, I have heard in zero national press.

00:39:57.080 None.

00:39:57.700 But independent, I don't know what he calls himself, but journalist in this case, Amuse,

00:40:04.420 says the following.

00:40:05.420 And I'm just going to read it, a portion of it.

00:40:08.600 It's a longer piece, but I'm going to read a portion of it because it's amazing.

00:40:13.800 So this is what individuals can do outside the corporate press.

00:40:17.780 Listen to this.

00:40:18.440 Democrats have aggressively targeted over 400 Republican lawyers and politicians with criminal

00:40:25.920 charges, civil lawsuits, and disbarment proceedings ahead of the upcoming presidential election.

00:40:32.180 400, 400 of people who are probably the most critical to the administration coming in, you know, if it's Trump.

00:40:50.140 Going further, they have successfully jailed Peter Navarro, with Steve Bannon expected to join him shortly.

00:40:56.840 In multiple states, Democrats have pursued criminal charges against dozens of Republican lawyers and politicians, including Georgia.

00:41:04.840 Georgia, 19 Republicans arrested and charged.

00:41:08.320 Arizona, 18 Republicans arrested and charged.

00:41:12.320 Step away from the wall.

00:41:15.740 Step away.

00:41:16.240 Don't punch the wall.

00:41:18.320 Michigan, 16 Republicans arrested and charged.

00:41:20.940 Nevada, six Republicans arrested and charged.

00:41:23.240 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, still conducting criminal investigations into as many as 30 who have yet, Republicans yet to be charged.

00:41:33.400 In addition to these criminal trials, Democrats are pursuing numerous efforts to have Republican lawyers disbarred.

00:41:38.580 The Soros backed 65 project has filed disbarment proceedings against more than 100 Republican lawyers, which prevent many of these lawyers from working until the proceedings are concluded.

00:42:04.440 In almost every case, the charges lack merit.

00:42:18.240 How does that feel?

00:42:21.600 Did you see that on CNN?

00:42:24.600 Did CNN cover that?

00:42:27.080 Did MSNBC cover that story?

00:42:30.740 CBS, ABC?

00:42:31.680 ABC?

00:42:31.800 NPR?

00:42:35.500 Do you remember seeing it on NPR?

00:42:37.940 No?

00:42:41.120 This looks to me like entirely George Soros destroying our country.

00:42:46.780 He hired every one of these people.

00:42:49.080 I mean, supported them probably.

00:42:54.080 How's this okay?

00:42:57.040 How is this okay?

00:42:58.160 Okay.

00:42:58.240 Every one of those prosecutors needs to be in jail.

00:43:04.940 Here's what I'd like to see.

00:43:07.160 I'd like to see everybody that lawfare to Republican put in jail after Trump takes office.

00:43:14.380 Every one of them, they should be in jail.

00:43:15.880 If they tried any kind of charges that are clearly politically motivated, and certainly anything around January 6th is just politically motivated, they should all go to jail.

00:43:26.000 Now, it should only be if, you know, the courts, you know, find them guilty and stuff.

00:43:34.200 But, no, this is not okay.

00:43:37.320 This is not business as usual. 1.00

00:43:39.860 This is, you've got to go to fucking jail. 0.99

00:43:41.720 It should be so dangerous to take Soros' money that if you take his money and you do anything that looks like lawfare, you go directly to jail. 0.99

00:43:55.080 It should be so dangerous to take Soros' money that nobody wants to do it because it's basically jail. 0.98

00:44:00.420 So, you've got to cut that guy's balls off or we don't have any chance of surviving as a country. 0.99

00:44:10.160 He's got to be nutmegged pretty hard. 0.99

00:44:12.680 And, you know, I was on the side of, well, can you really demonstrate how bad this George Soros is?

00:44:22.060 I mean, is it really that bad or is it just free speech and, you know, everybody's got an opinion and we know he's funding people.

00:44:28.240 But, you know, there are Republicans who fund people too.

00:44:31.220 It's all fair.

00:44:32.740 No, it isn't. 0.99

00:44:34.000 No, you've gone to a level where you need to be in fucking jail. 1.00

00:44:37.880 You need to be in jail. 0.99

00:44:39.140 And, by the way, I'm softening it because I think jail would be, let's say that would be the legal way to do it.

00:44:48.360 And I'm only in favor of the legal.

00:44:53.340 What is worse than that?

00:44:57.000 What is worse than that?

00:45:01.420 I don't think there's nothing happening right now that's worse than that, is there?

00:45:05.040 Think of anything that's worse than that.

00:45:06.680 That one side is completely just kneecapping the other side while you're not paying attention.

00:45:13.020 Peter Navarro's in jail.

00:45:16.140 As long as Peter Navarro's in jail, it's war.

00:45:20.780 It's hard to think of this as just an election. 1.00

00:45:22.980 It's a fucking war. 0.99

00:45:24.800 When you look at all these Republicans that are being law-fared, 1.00

00:45:28.680 that's not just politics.

00:45:31.680 That's not a difference of opinion. 1.00

00:45:35.380 That's a fucking war. 1.00

00:45:38.220 If you start jailing people for bullshit because they're on the other team, that's war. 1.00

00:45:44.920 Now, I don't approve of violence, 0.98

00:45:47.420 but I will observe that the other side has started a war of violence.

00:45:52.300 Putting people in jail is violent.

00:45:53.660 I don't care what you say.

00:45:56.520 There is violence being, you know, meted out to Peter Navarro.

00:46:01.840 You put somebody in jail, that's violence.

00:46:03.880 There's no way that's not violence by any measure.

00:46:07.500 Now, I'm in favor of it if somebody did something where they belong there.

00:46:10.280 But if you're physically hurting the other side, it's war.

00:46:17.620 And you're doing it intentionally, it's war.

00:46:21.080 So, you better vote like your life depends on it because it does.

00:46:27.700 It's war.

00:46:31.880 All right.

00:46:32.760 Biden gave a racist speech at Morehouse.

00:46:35.280 Morehouse. 1.00

00:46:36.040 He said that DEI is our core strength because he's a racist piece of shit. 1.00

00:46:41.000 And he stoked more racial division. 1.00

00:46:43.920 And he said this, quote,

00:46:45.200 What is democracy? 1.00

00:46:47.160 Black men are being killed in the street. 0.99

00:46:49.380 What does it mean to be a black man who loves this country, 0.97

00:46:52.300 even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?

00:46:55.820 And George Floyd was murdered, he went on.

00:46:59.600 Now, at the same time, CBS is reporting that more people were killed

00:47:03.040 by U.S. law enforcement in 2023.

00:47:05.280 than any other year in the past decade.

00:47:08.320 Wow.

00:47:09.480 Well, I guess Biden has a good point then, actually. 0.99

00:47:12.500 If the law enforcement has killed more black people in the streets in 2023 0.97

00:47:17.100 than any other... 0.98

00:47:19.100 Oh, hold on a second. 0.99

00:47:21.140 No, it didn't say they killed more black people in the streets. 0.97

00:47:23.340 It was more people. 0.92

00:47:24.620 But still, if the police are killing more people,

00:47:27.600 and that includes, let's say, an equal, you know, 0.98

00:47:29.980 or disproportionate amount of black people...

00:47:32.520 Wait a second. 0.99

00:47:32.960 Okay, wait.

00:47:33.600 I might be reading this wrong.

00:47:35.280 No, it says that the increase is entirely in small towns and rural areas.

00:47:44.100 Small towns and rural areas are where the police are killing the most people.

00:47:49.020 But in the cities, it's kind of going down.

00:47:50.820 What do the cities not have in common with these small rural areas?

00:47:59.480 I wonder if there's anything collectively similar about the people getting killed by police

00:48:05.700 in these small towns and rural areas versus the big cities.

00:48:09.900 So, those two stories hit it the same day. 0.99

00:48:17.720 Yeah, it seems like the police are reluctant to shoot at black people. 0.98

00:48:23.260 And maybe that's good. 0.92

00:48:25.080 Maybe all it did is take it down to, you know, a more reasonable level.

00:48:30.640 Maybe.

00:48:31.120 I don't know.

00:48:31.880 I don't know the facts. 0.97

00:48:33.840 But apparently, it's increased of shooting white people more.

00:48:38.040 It could be the police just like to have some consistent amount of shooting people. 0.93

00:48:42.680 And if you stop it in one place, they pick it up in the other place.

00:48:47.500 No, that's not real.

00:48:48.760 That doesn't make any sense at all.

00:48:51.820 All right. 0.98

00:48:52.560 So, yeah, our huge racist in chief, Biden goes full racist. 0.95

00:48:58.780 He also said, and I quote, he talked about the erectionist who stormed the Capitol. 0.92

00:49:04.360 I'm making a funny joke about insurrection, aren't I?

00:49:09.160 Nope. 0.65

00:49:09.800 He actually said erectionists.

00:49:12.340 Yes, he did.

00:49:13.140 In public, the person that Democrats think they want to be their leader said to a full house at Morehouse

00:49:20.340 that they were erectionists who stormed the Capitol.

00:49:25.540 The erectionists. 0.56

00:49:26.380 So, he's pushing the George Floyd hoax, the January 6th hoax.

00:49:34.740 Also, separately, the Russia collusion hoax is being brought up by Morning Joe.

00:49:41.280 That's right.

00:49:42.420 Morning Joe says Russia is colluding to help Trump in the election.

00:49:47.140 And that it's already happening.

00:49:49.660 Morning Joe.

00:49:50.540 And the New York Times, Molly Hemingway was all over this.

00:49:53.260 But the New York Times is pushing another anonymous story that there's like one meme that may have been something to do with Russia.

00:50:02.300 So, maybe Russia is interfering again. 1.00

00:50:05.260 So, it turns out that when you're doing everything wrong and you're a walking demon-possessed bag of shit like Biden, 0.99

00:50:13.900 that the best you can do is revive your old hoaxes that have been thoroughly debunked. 1.00

00:50:19.760 That's right.

00:50:20.240 It's the debunked hoaxes rerun to her.

00:50:26.480 The debunked hoaxes rerun.

00:50:30.060 It's the best he has.

00:50:31.940 Rapper Cardi B says she won't endorse Biden in 2024 because of the layers of disappointment.

00:50:37.740 Thank you, Rapper Cardi B, who weirdly has my respect.

00:50:41.980 I'm impressed with anybody who can have a non-standard opinion and say it out loud without being embarrassed.

00:50:58.440 So, I don't know anything else about Cardi B.

00:51:02.220 I'm not really a music guy and don't know anything about her life.

00:51:05.440 But the fact that she can do this gigantically, probably somewhat unpopular review among her fans,

00:51:15.620 and she can say it out loud and then she can give you, you know, some details on it, what she didn't like about it.

00:51:21.860 I have complete respect for that.

00:51:25.220 I also have this feeling that some people are born to be artists, like Ye, Kanye.

00:51:32.720 He was born to be an artist, meaning that his whole life is art, like even the mistakes, even the crazy things,

00:51:41.420 like even outside of the products he makes, he's just always an artist because he just won't do what other people want him to do.

00:51:50.200 So, I don't know.

00:51:52.980 I appreciate it when any artist is willing to really, really be an artist, even if I disagree with them.

00:51:58.140 So, she's really being an artist in that case.

00:52:02.720 So, let's see, Michael Cohen will be back to the witness stand.

00:52:09.580 I tell you, I can't get enough of Michael Cohen.

00:52:12.740 Is it just me?

00:52:14.280 Every time that guy's in the news, it's just going to be a laugh-filled news cycle,

00:52:20.560 in which Trump looks better and the Democrats look worse.

00:52:25.780 Every day of Michael Cohen is a good day.

00:52:29.100 More Michael Cohen, I say.

00:52:32.720 Well, there's a group called the International Criminal Court that the United States has never signed on to, nor has Israel.

00:52:39.820 But the International Criminal Court wants to have put out warrants for arrest on Israeli leaders,

00:52:49.080 but also equating them with the Hamas terrorists.

00:52:53.180 So, they're basically saying that both sides need to be arrested.

00:52:58.020 Benjamin Netanyahu, the defense minister, Gallant,

00:53:01.840 and also Hamas' leader, Sinwar, and a few others.

00:53:07.360 So, what did Joe Biden say about that?

00:53:11.800 The fact that the International Criminal Court wants to arrest our allies?

00:53:16.220 I don't think he said much about it, except not in favor of it.

00:53:21.700 But apparently, Trump had sanctioned this group, or at least the individuals associated with the ICC, 0.97

00:53:28.720 because he said it's just an anti-American institution, and he basically wants to kill them. 1.00

00:53:36.860 Kill them with sanctions. 1.00

00:53:38.500 That's what Trump... 1.00

00:53:39.540 So, Biden comes into office.

00:53:41.260 You know what the first thing he did was?

00:53:43.260 Biden removed the sanctions on the ICC,

00:53:46.240 and then they put out arrest warrants for our allies.

00:53:50.700 So, good job, Joe Biden.

00:53:53.440 Screwing the pooch.

00:53:54.920 Once again.

00:53:57.440 All right, I'm going to do something a little different now.

00:53:59.460 Oh, and Owen Gregorian, you sent me a bunch of tech-related and some other stories

00:54:08.900 that I didn't have time because I woke up an hour late today.

00:54:14.100 But I wanted to look through them and give you an update.

00:54:18.240 So, let's see.

00:54:21.940 There's a...

00:54:23.840 Here's the headlines.

00:54:25.440 I'll see which ones you want to say.

00:54:27.180 Toxic gaslighting.

00:54:28.260 How 3M executives convinced a scientist the forever chemicals she found in human blood were safe.

00:54:36.300 I feel like the headline tells me everything I need to know about that story, right?

00:54:41.620 Oh, there's a big company that did some lying about something that wasn't safe.

00:54:48.940 Okay, got it.

00:54:52.920 Let's see.

00:54:53.820 The New Jersey court throws out 80 charges against that brave gym owner who defied Governor Murphy's lockdown orders.

00:55:04.500 Hey.

00:55:05.540 All right.

00:55:07.060 Do you remember that gym owner? 0.87

00:55:09.600 He was the ballsiest guy of the entire pandemic who just said, 0.63

00:55:13.580 I'm not going to close my gym.

00:55:14.780 And then he got arrested and just threw out the charges.

00:55:21.220 When do you ever see that happen?

00:55:24.500 When was the last time you saw a good guy win?

00:55:28.000 You don't see the good guys win this hard, do you?

00:55:31.240 Congratulations.

00:55:31.640 Congratulations. 0.99

00:55:33.100 It looks like some men are growing some balls and maybe getting rewarded for it. 0.97

00:55:40.000 Another story that the most ruthless Mexican cartels are operating in all 50 states. 0.94

00:55:45.360 And they're already having turf wars in all 50 states.

00:55:48.300 You realize that we have every terrorist and operative and cartel in this country now, Ben.

00:56:00.320 They all came in.

00:56:01.080 And do you think there's any chance that our enemies have not created full plans for multiple part terrorist events?

00:56:13.040 Of course they have.

00:56:14.860 In theory, when Trump becomes president, if not before, because probably it'll take a little while to make stuff operational,

00:56:23.280 you're going to see the most massive coordinated terrorist attack of all time, probably multiple cities at the same time.

00:56:32.040 Or worse, multiple attacks within one city, which could cripple a city if they do it right.

00:56:38.600 So I think you're going to see something very coordinated, and there's no way around it at this point.

00:56:44.360 That's just what you get when you let 30 million people in without checking too hard.

00:56:47.580 University's COVID vaccine mandate violates the U.S. Constitution.

00:56:54.960 Hello.

00:56:55.920 Hello, sanity.

00:56:59.100 In small ways, there's a little bit of winning going on, isn't there?

00:57:03.980 Sanity is returning.

00:57:07.920 There's an autonomous tennis assistant robot.

00:57:11.260 Are you kidding me?

00:57:13.360 I swear to God, yesterday, I was actually playing tennis with a human.

00:57:17.580 And I thought to myself, hey, I've got a ball machine that just sits in one place and can shoot tennis balls at you for practice.

00:57:25.860 And I thought, what if I added AI to that?

00:57:29.160 How hard would it be for the AI to actually hit a ball with topspin?

00:57:34.640 And you just move left and right.

00:57:37.120 And because it never really, you know, it just needs to go back and forth and left and right.

00:57:41.200 How hard would it be to make an actual tennis-playing robot?

00:57:47.480 It's guaranteed.

00:57:48.980 You absolutely will be playing tennis with a robot within three years.

00:57:54.340 Don't you agree?

00:57:55.840 There's no way there won't be a tennis robot.

00:57:58.940 I mean, it's guaranteed.

00:58:02.020 I wouldn't play soccer with it.

00:58:03.760 It'll break your leg.

00:58:04.640 All right.

00:58:08.480 There's a mask.

00:58:12.380 The mask myth is being busted.

00:58:15.340 All right.

00:58:18.300 Let's see.

00:58:19.000 Where does this come from?

00:58:19.940 I've got to check the source first.

00:58:23.340 The source is SciTech Daily.

00:58:26.460 So some kind of study on masks.

00:58:31.320 It says, new research reveals that the wearing face masks did not reduce the risk of COVID infection after the first Omicron wave.

00:58:39.000 Wait a minute.

00:58:39.900 Is it saying that it did work before Omicron?

00:58:44.680 Lead author.

00:58:45.840 We'll see if it says that.

00:58:49.180 They're saying that the Omicron was more infectious.

00:58:52.620 So that that's the one that beat the masks.

00:58:54.920 But are they saying that they did work for pre-Omicron?

00:59:01.000 It looks like they didn't check that.

00:59:06.980 All right.

00:59:07.220 Living in a house with five or more people was at risk.

00:59:14.700 Yeah, but all right.

00:59:16.720 Ethnic minorities are strongly associated with increased risk.

00:59:20.740 Being retired with reduced risk.

00:59:23.000 What?

00:59:23.300 Oh, because you didn't have to go to work.

00:59:26.140 All right.

00:59:27.380 All right.

00:59:27.740 The researchers said the balance of evidence is that wearing face coverings reduces transmission of respiratory infections in community settings and reduces transmission of COVID-19.

00:59:38.580 The question is by how much?

00:59:41.580 Ooh.

00:59:42.220 Now it's getting interesting.

00:59:43.600 The question is by how much?

00:59:44.920 So systematic review says it did reduce the transmission of the original virus, but that it was from pre-Omicron days.

01:00:00.620 So basically, they're trying to say that it worked a little bit, maybe pre-Omicron, but not after.

01:00:07.740 But they don't know how much it worked.

01:00:10.240 Now, that's my view as well.

01:00:13.420 So here's my mask argument.

01:00:16.540 I'm not going to talk about masks.

01:00:18.980 If somebody had been wearing a mask and they had COVID and you borrowed their mask, would there be any COVID in the mask?

01:00:27.900 If the answer is yes, then it worked a little bit because it's some COVID that is in the mask instead of in the air.

01:00:38.140 But does it make a difference?

01:00:41.960 Is the amount that gets stuck in the mask 0.001% of the virus?

01:00:48.640 Is it 10% of the virus?

01:00:50.700 Because if it's 10%, there might be some statistical difference.

01:00:55.480 But we don't know.

01:00:57.180 So I'm not going to...

01:00:58.480 Yeah, it's the frictional story.

01:01:01.320 But certainly, if some of it's stuck on the mask, that would make a mathematical difference, but maybe not a difference in the real world.

01:01:13.060 Democrat, Massachusetts town voted for Biden.

01:01:16.340 Furious, they got what they voted for.

01:01:20.080 Border Patrol reveal how easily terrorists and killers can get in.

01:01:24.540 Of course, we knew that.

01:01:31.320 Chat GPT is better than ever at faking human emotions and behavior.

01:01:36.120 We expected that.

01:01:39.440 Bill Maher says he's bored by Trump's claims, by the claims that Trump would rule as a dictator.

01:01:47.160 He says, wake me up when he blows up the world.

01:01:51.000 Hello.

01:01:53.180 Bill Maher is not on board with the Trump as a dictator.

01:01:58.300 Do you know why?

01:01:58.940 Apparently, he's not insane.

01:02:02.380 That's why.

01:02:04.080 Because he actually watched the first four years of Trump and didn't really see anything to worry about.

01:02:11.100 Now, you know, I'm aware of Mike Cernovich's criticism that if we give Bill Maher too much attention, we're acting like his press secretaries, and that he's not really our friend.

01:02:24.640 Our friend, meaning, you know, the right-leaning part of the world, which is most of you.

01:02:31.960 I disagree.

01:02:33.860 I'm going to disagree with Mike on that.

01:02:36.400 And while it's true what he says, I mean, that the right is acting as his press secretaries, that part's true.

01:02:41.640 But I don't have a problem with it, because I like to boost everybody who says good things, even if, in other contexts, they say things I don't like.

01:02:52.400 Because I like the message more than the person.

01:02:55.540 So if a person gets the right message, be it Fetterman or be it anybody else.

01:03:00.620 Speaking of Fetterman, he had a good line.

01:03:04.400 I think I was going to tell you that.

01:03:07.640 What did Fetterman say?

01:03:09.480 He said something funny today.

01:03:15.040 Oh, yeah.

01:03:16.440 On Good Morning America, or Good Morning Britain, asked viewers to answer this poll.

01:03:22.180 It's a non-scientific poll.

01:03:24.140 And they asked, is multiculturalism working?

01:03:26.620 And while they were on the air, they gave the results of their own survey.

01:03:31.860 95% said, no, multiculturalism is not working in Great Britain.

01:03:38.000 95%.

01:03:38.600 And observably, that does seem to be the case.

01:03:47.400 All right.

01:03:49.780 Laura Logan is saying that, you know, she has some reporting that we haven't heard yet,

01:03:55.220 that there is a way bigger risk of terrorist actions from the people who came to the border

01:04:02.100 than we are yet aware of.

01:04:04.720 So I covered that.

01:04:05.800 But she says she has reporting on it that we haven't seen that makes it extra serious.

01:04:10.860 Oh, John Fetterman, he was mocking Senator Bob Menendez.

01:04:15.020 And he calls Bob Menendez legal strategy.

01:04:18.600 He calls it the blaming your wife legal strategy.

01:04:21.160 The blaming your wife legal strategy.

01:04:25.440 Now, that's a funny line.

01:04:27.540 This is exactly what he's doing.

01:04:29.740 So he took all these bribes, allegedly.

01:04:33.100 But now he's saying that his wife was the one who organized all that.

01:04:36.380 And maybe he wasn't aware that gold bars have been sewed into his suit.

01:04:41.940 It's the worst defense I've ever heard.

01:04:43.760 But calling it the blame your wife defense is pretty funny. 1.00

01:04:49.580 Anyway.

01:04:53.340 Apparently, China is using AI-created news anchors to deliver propaganda, of course.

01:05:02.180 And some say that Biden was lying when he promised to give intel to Israel in exchange for saving Hamas.

01:05:09.700 Guess that didn't happen.

01:05:10.700 And let's see.

01:05:15.620 Pre-pandemic brain wiring predicted teen mental health during the COVID.

01:05:20.640 Really?

01:05:22.740 What's that about?

01:05:23.680 Let me see what that's about.

01:05:27.920 So a large study using pre-pandemic brain scans of adolescents revealed that brain wiring before COVID predicted mental health outcomes during the pandemic.

01:05:38.360 How could that be?

01:05:39.720 I don't believe this story.

01:05:40.700 The ones who had stronger connections with the salience network part of the brain, responsible for emotion and reward processing, demonstrated greater resistance.

01:05:51.920 Okay.

01:05:52.420 So people with stronger brains did better?

01:05:55.460 Why is that a story?

01:05:59.340 I don't believe it.

01:05:59.980 Well, no.

01:06:00.700 Okay. 1.00

01:06:01.020 That looks like bullshit to me. 0.99

01:06:02.940 I think that's... 1.00

01:06:04.700 I think that's BS.

01:06:07.160 All right.

01:06:08.900 Let's see what else we got.

01:06:09.820 I think I got one more here.

01:06:21.800 Judge Eileen Cannon, a stern response for Jack Smith.

01:06:25.480 Well, he seems like a criminal to me.

01:06:29.580 Poland is spending money to fortify their border with Russia.

01:06:32.920 Negative impact of marital decline on cognitive function is greater than the gains from marital satisfaction.

01:06:42.740 Okay.

01:06:43.260 This one's good.

01:06:43.880 We're definitely reading this one.

01:06:44.880 We're definitely reading this one.

01:06:45.840 All right.

01:06:47.260 So research found that improving marital satisfaction is associated with better cognitive function in older adults.

01:06:54.500 Right.

01:06:55.100 So if you've got a good marriage, you have better cognitive function.

01:06:59.940 However, the however is going to be the fun part.

01:07:04.140 However, the link between declining marital satisfaction and worsening cognitive function was even stronger.

01:07:12.560 Oh, so basically being happily married is good for your brain and being unhappily married is more than neutral.

01:07:20.540 It's bad for your brain.

01:07:22.760 Well, is this in the category of you should have asked Scott?

01:07:27.260 Was there anybody who didn't know that losing your main relationship and backbone of your entire life is bad for your mental health?

01:07:39.580 Was there somebody who didn't know that?

01:07:42.660 Was there somebody who didn't know that being happily in love with your life partner is good for your mental state?

01:07:49.920 Why did we need this?

01:07:52.700 A lot of the science is so unnecessary.

01:07:54.480 Apparently, they found the gentleman who punched Steve Buscemi, and he's being held on a $50,000 bond.

01:08:05.620 What?

01:08:10.440 Instagram warns against tagging Tucker Carlson in a happy birthday post.

01:08:15.680 Is that because it'll ruin your...

01:08:17.480 So, Instagram warned against tagging former Fox News primetime host Tucker Carlson in a happy birthday post because he's known to violate community guidelines, says Instagram.

01:08:32.620 And if you do that, it might hurt your social media standing.

01:08:37.940 I guess Breitbart is following up on this, but don't have a comment yet.

01:08:46.620 All right.

01:08:47.600 Well, how about that?

01:08:51.560 Yeah. 0.84

01:08:52.200 If you punch Steve Buscemi, he's going to get you.

01:08:56.140 All right.

01:08:58.740 Ladies and gentlemen, this is the conclusion of our time together.

01:09:07.740 So, I'm going to say goodbye to YouTube and Rumble and X.

01:09:14.020 I'm going to see if I can figure out how to stay and talk to the locals people.

01:09:19.440 If the gods of technology will allow me to do it.

01:09:23.120 But goodbye to everybody else, unless this doesn't work, in which case you'll all be here.

01:09:28.500 All right.

01:09:28.820 I'm going to try to go to locals only.

01:09:30.440 Let's see if this works.

01:09:31.260 Let's see if this works.
