Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2492 CWSA 06⧸01⧸24

00:00:00.180 Shows the best thing that ever happened to you.

00:00:12.200 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:19.380 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time in your life.

00:00:23.920 And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that I'm pretty sure nobody's ever seen before,

00:00:32.340 well, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tanker, chalice, and a kenteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:39.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:42.140 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:48.280 It's called the simultaneous sip, and you need it badly.

00:00:51.480 It happens now.

00:00:53.920 So good.

00:01:01.740 Well, I was just going to fire up my beloved locals people so I can see their comments separately.

00:01:10.100 And where are you, beloved locals people?

00:01:16.640 There you are.

00:01:19.120 There you are.

00:01:20.040 Huh.

00:01:21.180 Okay.

00:01:22.600 That's interesting.

00:01:23.460 Let me just check one thing.

00:01:25.080 Live.

00:01:26.920 Oh, there's a new menu where I can find the live stuff.

00:01:31.420 Perfect.

00:01:33.080 It's an improvement.

00:01:35.640 I like improvements.

00:01:36.860 Well, we got lots of news to cover today.

00:01:42.040 Aren't you glad you're here?

00:01:43.220 Happy Saturday.

00:01:43.680 Happy Saturday.

00:01:45.840 Happy June.

00:01:47.680 If you are subscribing to the Dilbert comic, which never ended, even though it was canceled,

00:01:53.240 it just got better.

00:01:54.080 But it's beyond the subscription wall here at the Scott Adams, not locals or also on the X platform.

00:02:01.700 And if you were subscribing, you would see the Dilbert comic that started with the following panel today.

00:02:09.140 The doctor doctor is talking to the doctor, the doctor is talking to Dilbert and telling Dilbert, quote, your testicles are filled with microplastics.

00:02:17.180 Now, only subscribers will know what happens next.

00:02:21.500 Well, let me tell you, it can only happen in the cartoon universe.

00:02:26.600 Fun, fun, fun.

00:02:28.420 All right.

00:02:28.700 Let's talk about sketchy science.

00:02:31.100 Am I the only person who has noticed that whenever there's a miracle drug, the potential side effects are always seem to be in this narrow area?

00:02:46.000 For example, here's a new drug that will make bald men regrow their hair.

00:02:52.940 You know it's going to make your dick not work, right?

00:02:56.420 Let's just automatic.

00:02:57.400 If it's going to let you have your hair back so you can get your good looks, so to speak, then it's not going to let you use it.

00:03:06.380 Nope, it's going to take that away from you.

00:03:08.840 And now we find out there are reports that people taking Ozempic are losing weight, looking good, except their hair is falling out.

00:03:18.980 Now, this has not been confirmed by any science.

00:03:21.840 This is anecdotal.

00:03:22.840 But it's in the news today that a lot of hairdressers are seeing it.

00:03:28.300 The experts are saying it might not be a permanent thing.

00:03:32.180 It might have less to do with the drug and more to do with the rapid weight loss.

00:03:37.580 So apparently, if you're losing weight, you're more likely to have your hair fall out.

00:03:41.980 But they think it might grow back after you get off the Ozempic.

00:03:48.560 In other words, when you start gaining your weight back.

00:03:51.340 So you can either have hair or you can be thin.

00:03:55.040 But I'm sorry, you can't have both.

00:03:58.400 Unless, well, I guess there is an alternative.

00:04:02.800 I've heard of it.

00:04:03.620 It's speculative.

00:04:04.540 It's speculative.

00:04:05.940 There's a thing called, I don't know if I have the words right, eating right and exercise.

00:04:11.520 Have you heard of it?

00:04:12.980 I know, it's harder.

00:04:14.740 But if you want to do it the easy way, your hair might fall out.

00:04:17.500 Just be aware of that.

00:04:18.560 Oh, and by the way, it'll make you lose your libido and get sick.

00:04:21.720 So if you're, let's say, trying to impress your spouse with your weight loss, and you're thinking, I'm looking pretty good now.

00:04:29.560 And your spouse says to you, you know, what happened to your hair?

00:04:34.100 Well, okay, my hair fell out, but look at my body.

00:04:37.540 And then your spouse says, well, you got a good point.

00:04:40.720 Your body looks good.

00:04:41.620 Do you want to have some sex?

00:04:42.940 I'd love to, but my libido has fallen off.

00:04:45.440 Oh, well, maybe you could just, you know, I don't know how to say this, but could you maybe give me some sex?

00:04:54.080 I'd love to, but I'm also suffering from nausea, from a side effect.

00:04:59.000 So apparently the universe has conspired that if there's one reason that you can't get laid and you fix that one reason, it's going to give you a new reason not to get laid right away.

00:05:11.220 I don't know why that happens, but it's so consistent.

00:05:14.240 It's like a natural law of the universe.

00:05:17.460 There's also a sleep apnea drug that is not approved, but the study found there's this thing called AD109 that if you have a mild case of sleep apnea, it can somehow help you sleep through the night.

00:05:33.120 So this is amazing and great, and everything about this is positive, right?

00:05:38.280 It's going to be a new drug.

00:05:40.440 It's going to cure my mild sleep apnea, which I have.

00:05:44.240 So it's all upside, huh?

00:05:47.460 Let's see.

00:05:48.300 Is there any criticism of it?

00:05:50.400 Oh, somebody named Kuhlman explains, hmm, they left out of this study report the oxygen saturation of the person using the drug.

00:06:01.080 Now, given that the problem with sleep apnea is that it lowers your oxygen levels during the night, if you had a drug that stopped your mild sleep apnea, its really only purpose would be to improve your oxygen saturation.

00:06:17.220 And so if I were going to brag about a drug that helped with sleep apnea, right at the top of the article, I'd put something like, your blood oxygen is going to be 100%.

00:06:30.900 But I wouldn't leave it out.

00:06:33.960 How the hell do you leave that out?

00:06:40.160 Like the only thing that actually mattered to the study.

00:06:44.100 Sketchy science.

00:06:45.120 But that's sketchy science and science that is there to mess with you.

00:06:50.160 But there's also a category of science that's my favorite.

00:06:55.020 So I'm not objective about science.

00:06:58.160 There's some types of science I really love.

00:07:01.160 And then there's other types that I'm like, hmm, not so much.

00:07:04.280 But let me tell you the kind of science I like.

00:07:07.100 It's the kind that agrees with what I'm already doing.

00:07:10.300 Yes, that's called accurate science.

00:07:15.360 Yeah.

00:07:15.640 So if the science says the best thing you could possibly do is sit in a room with ring lights on and talk into a microphone every morning and it will make you immortal.

00:07:26.840 I'll be like, really?

00:07:29.460 That's great.

00:07:31.020 Because I sit in front of ring lights every morning and I talk into a microphone.

00:07:34.960 I'm going to live forever.

00:07:37.780 That's called good science.

00:07:39.340 Don't confuse that with the crappy stuff that says if you do bad things like you're doing right now, it'll kill you.

00:07:48.080 No, ignore that stuff.

00:07:50.020 You only want the science that says what you're already doing is genius.

00:07:54.780 And here's some science that I like a lot.

00:07:56.720 Apparently, those who've had six servings of fruit and vegetables a day were 34% less likely to experience poor thinking skills later on.

00:08:07.700 That's right.

00:08:08.320 Your fruits and your vegetables will make you smarter later in life.

00:08:12.480 And they say that drinking orange juice is linked to a 47% lower risk of memory problems with age.

00:08:19.760 So, how much do I like this?

00:08:24.260 Well, let me tell you.

00:08:26.440 I've been pretty pissed off for a few years now about the fact that Jordan Peterson is obviously so much smarter than I am.

00:08:36.840 But tortoise and the hare, people.

00:08:40.320 Tortoise and the hare.

00:08:41.340 So, as soon as I'm done with this, I'm probably going to eat a fruit or a vegetable, as I do.

00:08:49.300 But what's Jordan Peterson doing?

00:08:51.600 He's eating meat on his carnivore diet, which apparently is doing great things for his health, in the short term.

00:08:59.420 In the short term.

00:09:00.520 But already, I can feel the gap is closing.

00:09:04.960 You've probably seen it, too.

00:09:06.920 You know, he started out like 100% smarter than me.

00:09:11.160 I think he's probably no more than 96%, 97% smarter than me now.

00:09:17.780 I mean, you can already feel the difference.

00:09:19.960 And I'm going to eat vegetables until more people watch my program.

00:09:26.600 Because that's how it works.

00:09:27.880 So, suck on that, Peterson.

00:09:32.780 All right.

00:09:34.600 Apparently, the whole climate science thing is falling apart.

00:09:40.920 And I'll say again, the number one thing that hurt climate science and made people more skeptical, or should have,

00:09:49.340 is learning that the number one reason why you should believe climate science has been completely debunked.

00:09:57.880 And I haven't seen anybody say this on any kind of legitimate news.

00:10:02.500 But how many years have you listened to assholes say to you,

00:10:08.380 Scott, 98% of scientists are all on the same side.

00:10:13.140 And therefore, how in the world could it be wrong?

00:10:15.720 And then we live through the pandemic.

00:10:17.940 And we see that as long as scientists get paychecks, the entity that's above the scientist who's paying them will never take chances.

00:10:29.960 See, here's what's wrong with the system.

00:10:34.000 Corporations can't take chances.

00:10:36.440 They kind of got to go with the norm.

00:10:39.840 Whatever the norm is, they got to go with it.

00:10:43.140 So, your employer, who's going to be a larger entity, has to go with the norms?

00:10:48.000 Always has to.

00:10:48.660 You can't really buck what everybody thinks if you're a company trying to make money.

00:10:53.920 Everybody will say, hmm, I think I'll shop somewhere else.

00:10:57.200 So, in general, you know, if you're a big entity, you've got to do what the public thinks is true, in general.

00:11:05.080 But if you were a rogue scientist who made your own money and worked for yourself and nothing could affect your income,

00:11:12.400 well, then you could disagree with the consensus and people would.

00:11:16.460 But we see that in the real world, there are no independent scientists or doctors.

00:11:24.040 Well, that's an exaggeration.

00:11:25.980 In general, 98% of them are taking a paycheck from somebody,

00:11:29.720 which means they really don't have the option to tell you the truth as they see it.

00:11:36.380 Just think about that.

00:11:37.760 We've developed a system that, by its design, eliminates the possibility of the individuals telling you the truth

00:11:45.560 if it disagreed with the consensus.

00:11:49.200 Can't do it.

00:11:50.680 They're actually good.

00:11:51.980 The incentive to just go along is 100%.

00:11:55.900 The incentive to buck the system is zero.

00:11:59.660 You don't get anything out of that.

00:12:01.640 So, since climate change science was really always, well, you can't do the science yourself,

00:12:06.380 but you can certainly trust us because we're all on the same team and we've looked at it a hundred different ways.

00:12:12.960 And every time we look at it, no matter what way we look at it,

00:12:16.060 it doesn't matter what window we're looking through, which thing we're studying.

00:12:21.140 Miraculously, it all seems to support climate science, or at least the alarm of climate science.

00:12:27.380 But now that you know that the more routine situation is,

00:12:31.840 100% of the experts will lie routinely, predictably, reliably, as long as they have a boss.

00:12:40.380 The only thing you need to make the whole system not work is that the experts have bosses.

00:12:46.120 That's it.

00:12:47.320 That's all you need to sell the public anything that isn't true.

00:12:52.040 Bosses.

00:12:53.060 You don't need anything else.

00:12:54.800 So, as long as you've got bosses in the pandemic, all the professionals said,

00:13:01.440 oh, wear your mask and take your vaccines.

00:13:04.040 As long as the climate scientists have bosses and they need, well, bosses also,

00:13:10.060 and they need to get grants, right?

00:13:12.100 They need to apply for grants, which ends up being like your boss, in a sense, in a virtual sense.

00:13:18.280 Under that condition, you would expect that 98% of the experts not only could be lying,

00:13:25.800 but largely guaranteed, because they're going to agree with everything that comes out that agrees

00:13:32.800 with the narrative, everything.

00:13:35.060 And even if something were completely true, you kind of have to expect that some of the

00:13:40.880 science would be not reliable.

00:13:43.120 But I don't think that happens.

00:13:45.460 I think anything that supports the narrative, all the peer reviewers go,

00:13:49.640 that looks good to me, supporting a narrative.

00:13:54.220 But we can also see that predictions do not match reality.

00:13:57.660 The models are being exposed as garbage.

00:14:00.220 You see money distorting things.

00:14:02.340 And Zero Hedge has a great article that I reposted.

00:14:06.120 Oh, and Gregorian has a little write-up on that.

00:14:11.740 And you really need to spend a minute looking at a skeptic's path through the science.

00:14:19.780 Once you read what the skeptics say about it, it's really hard to believe the 98% of experts.

00:14:26.200 If you were just to look at the two arguments next to each other, you know, just spend a week looking at all the pro-climate change stuff,

00:14:37.140 and then just spend a week looking at nothing but the critics and the skeptics.

00:14:42.240 The critics and the skeptics have a much better argument.

00:14:46.180 Has anybody gone through that experience?

00:14:47.860 I've done that.

00:14:49.440 I've, like, immersed myself in both worlds.

00:14:52.220 And when you come out, there is one that's better.

00:14:55.760 It's not even close.

00:14:58.220 It's not close.

00:15:00.260 You know, I've told you about the documentary effect.

00:15:04.020 That's what caused climate change.

00:15:06.580 Al Gore's documentary.

00:15:08.760 He put it in a documentary, and documentaries, by their nature, are persuasive even when they're not true.

00:15:15.280 How many of the scientists and the people running your government know that if they saw it in a documentary,

00:15:23.160 it should be treated like they've seen nothing?

00:15:25.980 How many of them know that?

00:15:27.800 None.

00:15:28.960 Basically none, unless they're also hypnotists and study persuasion, which would be rare.

00:15:34.660 No, they actually think that if the documentary was convincing from beginning to end,

00:15:40.620 they saw something like reality or truth.

00:15:43.660 Nope.

00:15:44.440 There is nothing like that happening in a documentary.

00:15:47.920 In fact, I just heard that there was the group Salem, I think, had something to do with distributing the 2,000 Mules documentary.

00:15:56.960 How many of you watched the 2,000 Mules documentary, and when you were done said,

00:16:00.980 well, there was definitely some cheating.

00:16:03.180 Yeah, I guess they proved it with this 2,000 Mules.

00:16:06.760 How many of you thought that was true because you saw the documentary?

00:16:10.840 Now, I don't know what's true.

00:16:13.700 I can just tell you that that hasn't reached the level of credibility that we all wondered if it would.

00:16:21.360 It never did.

00:16:21.900 And at least one group is apologizing for ever having had anything to do with it and removing it from their site.

00:16:30.280 So that doesn't mean it's wrong, by the way.

00:16:33.120 It doesn't mean it's wrong.

00:16:34.280 I'm just making the point that if you ever saw the documentary, you were convinced by it independently from whether it was true.

00:16:42.200 So how persuasive it is, is unrelated to how true it is.

00:16:48.260 You have to learn that.

00:16:49.540 That's the most important thing to learn.

00:17:53.580 Here's some dumb thing that I'm seeing lately.

00:17:56.640 I'm seeing some experts.

00:17:58.500 Oh, I should correct that.

00:18:01.720 I'm not sure exactly which experts have said this, so there might be some smart experts I like who are saying it.

00:18:08.200 So I won't say they're dumb.

00:18:09.660 I will disagree with them.

00:18:10.720 The experts are saying that if you're a math major or you're in the technical sciences, the AI might take your job.

00:18:20.200 But if you're like an English major or you're in one of these communication soft arts kind of jobs, the AI might have trouble catching up, and you'll still have plenty to do, even working with AI, because the AI will not have the language skills and the insights that you have as a non-STEM major.

00:18:42.040 Does that sound right to you?

00:18:48.120 Does that track?

00:18:50.040 Do you really think that the technologists are going to be worth nothing because AI will do it all?

00:18:58.280 Or do you think that the English majors are not the easiest for AI to replace?

00:19:03.860 Well, here's my take on that.

00:19:09.260 So far, I'm sort of a hybrid kind of an individual in the sense that I've had some experience with technology, but mostly I work in a communication field.

00:19:21.500 So I've kind of straddled both domains enough that I got a little bit of visibility in each.

00:19:29.480 I've also spent quite a bit of time playing with a variety of AI apps to see what they can and cannot do.

00:19:36.320 And I'll tell you, the single most obvious conclusion is that they can't do anything without the person standing right there.

00:19:43.700 And if you didn't understand a little bit about technology, you'd be even more helpless using it.

00:19:52.480 So I think the AI will only ever be a tool for people who are technically proficient.

00:19:59.620 In other words, they're going to have to understand how to use the AI, when to use which one, which ones work with other AIs,

00:20:07.700 what types of errors they have, how to correct them, how to find the right super prompts, how to keep them updated, and on and on and on.

00:20:19.280 So I see that there's, in my opinion, people with technical expertise will never go out of style.

00:20:27.440 Because you just won't be able to use AI in any technical way unless the person using it is a technical person.

00:20:35.080 Let me put it this way.

00:20:36.080 If you gave me AI and said, Scott, build a new network protocol that makes your internal network work twice as fast,

00:20:45.020 I'm not sure I could ask the right questions.

00:20:48.560 And I'm not sure I would know if the AI came up with a better idea.

00:20:54.240 So you really need to be the person monitoring the AI.

00:20:58.020 I don't think the technical jobs will go away.

00:20:59.700 I do think, you know, some very specific things like, you know, maybe some higher level math will just be completely computer.

00:21:07.640 That makes sense.

00:21:08.940 But let's look at the soft skills, communication skills.

00:21:12.420 Because this is really important.

00:21:13.900 If there are any young people, or even if you're in the middle of your career, you're thinking, uh-oh, where am I safe from AI?

00:21:19.880 I think AI will replace maybe half of the soft arts.

00:21:27.220 But I do think that there's a cap on how good AI can be.

00:21:33.700 And I'm going to be really arrogant to make this next point.

00:21:37.220 There's no, I didn't have another way to do it.

00:21:38.840 I thought about, how can I do this without being super arrogant?

00:21:44.000 And I thought, okay, there's no way to do it.

00:21:46.100 So, since I think the point is worth making, because there's value to it, I'll just be super arrogant.

00:21:52.000 I hope you can forgive me.

00:21:55.460 AI can't replace me.

00:21:59.060 That's the arrogant part.

00:22:01.400 Have you seen AI try to write jokes?

00:22:04.120 Can't do it.

00:22:05.480 Do you think it will someday be able to write jokes with better training?

00:22:09.280 I don't think so.

00:22:10.900 Do you know why?

00:22:12.420 Because I couldn't teach you to do it.

00:22:14.020 Do you think, do you think I could take the smartest among you who has, let's say, natural ability, and I can train you to do what I do?

00:22:22.520 I don't think so.

00:22:23.980 Nobody's ever done it.

00:22:25.740 In the history of, in the history of humanity, nobody's ever done that.

00:22:30.240 There's some things you can imitate, and you can learn tools.

00:22:33.460 Like, if I, if I taught you how to paint, I could certainly teach you some of the tricks of painting.

00:22:39.140 But I couldn't make you, Van Gogh can't make you Van Gogh.

00:22:42.700 Well, Rembrandt can't make you Rembrandt.

00:22:46.480 Da Vinci can't make you Da Vinci.

00:22:48.880 Right?

00:22:49.220 So why do you think we can train the machines to do that?

00:22:51.880 Because the machines are this big average of us, at least the current versions, these LLMs.

00:22:57.680 No, I don't think it can ever, I think it's capped.

00:23:00.420 I don't think the machines will ever, in their current design, right?

00:23:04.580 There might be some future, completely different design that gets there.

00:23:08.920 But as we know it, it doesn't really have a chance of replacing me.

00:23:14.400 I thought it did.

00:23:16.000 But the more I work with it, I can say, no, it looks like there's a natural cap.

00:23:20.100 It's not, it's not that we haven't gotten there yet.

00:23:23.420 Now, I know how that sounds.

00:23:26.820 The biggest mistake that anybody's ever made forecasting technology is, well, it'll never get there.

00:23:34.700 The, it will never get there is the most wrong thing anybody's ever said about every part of technology.

00:23:41.500 There's always been somebody who says the plane won't fly.

00:23:44.620 You know, the computers will never be that fast.

00:23:47.040 Nobody's going to need a computer on their desk.

00:23:49.800 You know, so there's a, there's a graveyard of people who made this kind of prediction.

00:23:55.220 But I'm going to make it based on observation and its design.

00:24:00.380 Design is destiny.

00:24:01.900 If we were designed differently, like maybe artificial general intelligence that we might have someday,

00:24:08.980 then I would say, I don't know, maybe, maybe it can replace me.

00:24:11.980 But with its current design, I think there's a design limit that I don't know can be designed around.

00:24:19.560 So I think, I think the people with communication skills, at least half of them will easily be replaced.

00:24:26.960 But the people in the top 5%, I just don't know that the technology can get there.

00:24:34.680 You know, I think we'll use it as a tool.

00:24:36.680 Oh, by the way, I used AI, I used AI for the first time, I think, in actual production way.

00:24:46.620 So this may be only exciting to me.

00:24:50.160 So if you read Dilbert, you've been reading it forever.

00:24:52.580 You know that I'm always running out of angles, like angles of view.

00:24:57.000 Like, okay, you know, you're looking over Dilbert's shoulder.

00:25:00.580 Okay, you're looking at it from outside the room.

00:25:03.500 Okay, here's one from outside the building.

00:25:05.600 And I, I rapidly run out of angles to choose from in my head.

00:25:10.800 Okay, so the other day, I was drawing one that was just going to be Dilbert and Dilbert talking at home.

00:25:16.880 And I said, I told AI to draw me a, just a person sitting at a desk and a dog in the room.

00:25:25.600 And I drew one.

00:25:26.680 And I said, okay, now do the same thing, except as if the camera angle is from 6 feet looking down.

00:25:34.160 And it did.

00:25:35.160 And I said, okay, that's good.

00:25:37.180 But, you know, move, move this angle here, move that angle.

00:25:40.180 Now, it draws me a picture of a guy with a computer at an angle that I'd never drawn before.

00:25:47.420 But it was real easy just looking at it to draw it, you know, once you saw the perspective.

00:25:52.520 If you're, if you're a trained artist, you just have to look at it and you can draw it.

00:25:57.400 But until I looked at it, my brain had never created that angle in my head, so I couldn't draw it.

00:26:04.720 I can only draw what I can imagine.

00:26:07.060 And I'd never imagined that angle before, so I couldn't draw it.

00:26:10.180 So, you're going to see a comic on Sunday, this Sunday.

00:26:14.960 Look at the first two panels and you'll see it's a new level of graphic interest.

00:26:22.820 Came out really well.

00:26:24.420 I think I'll do a little more of that.

00:26:26.520 So, that was a good example of AI being valuable.

00:26:29.660 All right, here's some science you should have asked, Scott.

00:26:33.060 We'll get to the politics real soon.

00:26:36.220 That there's all kinds of stuff in your body that can affect your mental health.

00:26:40.760 So, it could be anything from your bacteria to inflammation to all this.

00:26:45.780 And they're learning that your mental state could be determined by your physical health and your metabolism and stuff.

00:26:54.840 To which I say, seriously?

00:26:58.380 You couldn't have just asked me?

00:27:01.380 Just ask me next time.

00:27:02.980 You don't have to do all this studying.

00:27:04.840 Yes.

00:27:06.100 And let me put it in.

00:27:07.400 Let me reframe it in a way that makes sense.

00:27:10.480 The reason that we think of our brain and our thoughts as being the thing that's happening inside our skull is that humans like to separate things into categories so that they can create things like jobs around that category.

00:27:25.240 So, you've got a brain surgeon who's not as trained at maybe setting broken bones, etc.

00:27:31.900 So, for practical reasons, we divide things into categories.

00:27:36.380 Here's your brain.

00:27:37.660 Here's your body.

00:27:39.320 Two different things.

00:27:41.300 But my reframe is this.

00:27:45.100 Your brain is not just the thing inside your skull.

00:27:48.320 Your brain is your whole body and your environment.

00:27:53.100 You've heard me say this before.

00:27:55.240 If you want to change your brain, you need to change your environment.

00:28:00.760 And that changes your body.

00:28:02.820 And then your body changes your brain.

00:28:05.580 So, for example, it's well understood that if you go to the park and go out in nature, there seem to be some fairly immediate benefits to your mental health.

00:28:16.020 And that seems so.

00:28:17.480 Not only do you feel it when you do it, but all the science suggests.

00:28:21.160 Now, the way we usually think of that is, oh, my brain is in my head, and then I'm going to go to the park and I feel better.

00:28:30.400 Here's a better way to think of it.

00:28:32.080 The park is your brain.

00:28:33.340 The room that you didn't clean up, that's your brain.

00:28:38.860 The reason Jordan Peterson says clean your room is that's how you program your brain.

00:28:44.620 No, the room is your brain.

00:28:47.660 The park is your brain.

00:28:49.820 It's all part of the same system.

00:28:51.540 As soon as you realize that your brain is extended into everything you touch and experience, then suddenly your options for what to do about things become much fuller.

00:29:03.480 See, if you don't understand that the park is part of your brain and you're sad and you're sitting there, what are you going to do about it?

00:29:11.660 What are you going to do?

00:29:14.060 But if you say, oh, my brain's a problem and all I have to do is spend more time in the outdoor park part of my brain, I'll be fine.

00:29:22.140 You know exactly what to do.

00:29:24.820 So, your brain is your environment.

00:29:27.820 Apple is reportedly going to enhance Siri, so it's got more AI stuff.

00:29:33.740 In the first version, we don't know when this will come out exactly.

00:29:37.040 Looks like iOS 18 maybe.

00:29:40.220 But you'll be able to give it commands that it can perform at first only with Apple's own apps.

00:29:47.720 So, Apple has a messaging app, an email app, calculator app built in.

00:29:53.440 And I guess Siri would be able to activate things within the apps.

00:29:58.720 So, you can say things like the example given was you could have it record a meeting, you know, just have it record, and then tell it to send those meeting notes by email to somebody.

00:30:09.860 You just name the person.

00:30:10.820 And I think I've told you before, I sold my Apple stock last year because I thought Apple was not excelling at AI, and I was worried that they'd lost their juice, you know, that the jobs era just can't be reproduced.

00:30:30.680 Now, maybe it can.

00:30:32.160 Apple has been killing it over and over against expectations for decades.

00:30:37.520 So, betting against them is kind of a sketchy thing.

00:30:39.820 But the reason I had their stock is because they were a monopoly.

00:30:44.160 I invested in them because they weren't competing, really.

00:30:47.520 You know, once you got locked into their ecosystem, you couldn't get out.

00:30:51.560 But now AI changes everything.

00:30:53.660 I mean, Elon Musk asked the other day on X, do you think X should make a phone?

00:30:59.120 Now, I don't know if he will, but if he did, it wouldn't be poking apps with your finger.

00:31:06.380 I think it'd be whatever's the next generation after that.

00:31:09.820 Anyway, there was a report that TikTok might be secretly preparing to separate their code if they were forced to divest, so they would have something to sell to some entity in the United States who could then run it.

00:31:25.300 But they deny it publicly.

00:31:28.400 However, let me give you my Dilbert take on this.

00:31:31.540 If you're as rich as TikTok and the likelihood that you will completely be in a business in the United States is very high, of course they're working on separating the code.

00:31:43.000 They have to be ready for both of those possibilities and the financial implication of either path, either going out of business in the United States or selling the business to somebody in the United States, are enormous.

00:31:57.440 We're talking about billions of dollars.

00:31:59.720 You don't think that when billions are on the line, they're not going to have somebody just getting ready for either opportunity?

00:32:06.420 Of course, of course, yeah, there's no chance that they're not preparing to divest.

00:32:12.160 They'd be a ridiculous company if they weren't doing that.

00:32:15.200 There's a study that says about one in three Americans know somebody who's died of a drug overdose, according to a new survey, CBS News reporting.

00:32:28.660 But that reminded me of this.

00:32:32.100 So one in three of you know somebody who's died of a drug overdose.

00:32:35.940 What does that tell you about drug overdoses?

00:32:38.700 Well, a lot of things.

00:32:40.200 But number one, it tells you they're probably real, right?

00:32:44.540 When a study matches your observation, you say, well, that's probably real because I see it, too.

00:32:52.520 I always use the example of science tells you that smoking cigarettes can give you lung cancer.

00:32:58.500 And sure enough, the people I know who had lung cancer smoke cigarettes or tobacco.

00:33:04.980 So that matches.

00:33:07.800 But here's one that never matched.

00:33:09.620 There were 30,000 to 50,000 people dying of the seasonal flu before COVID.

00:33:15.980 And I saw somebody the other day saying, hey, why did all the COVID numbers disappear?

00:33:21.080 And they were speculating that the seasonal flu deaths were being added to the COVID deaths to pump up the number.

00:33:29.160 I don't think that's what was happening.

00:33:31.120 I think what happened was we found out that the seasonal flu numbers were never real.

00:33:37.100 Because I've never met anybody who died of the seasonal flu, if you know what I mean.

00:33:42.380 And I don't think one in three people know anybody personally who died of the seasonal flu.

00:33:48.700 But 30,000 to 50,000 a year, that's sort of the drunk driving number of deaths.

00:33:55.440 How many of you know somebody who died from drunk driving?

00:34:00.840 Pretty much all of you, right?

00:34:02.900 Pretty much everybody knows somebody directly or indirectly who died from drunk driving.

00:34:07.040 Either they were hit by one or they were one.

00:34:10.020 So that's real.

00:34:11.460 Drunk driving is real.

00:34:14.040 But I don't think seasonal flu deaths are real.

00:34:17.580 I think that they were always faking us with those numbers so we would buy the vaccinations and that it was never real.

00:34:23.960 So that's my hypothesis.

00:34:27.180 Because the disconnect between how much there was and the fact that I've never seen or heard of an example of it, no, I'm not buying that.

00:34:37.940 And there's a reason they were fake.

00:34:39.800 We have some insight.

00:34:41.620 They were never counted in the past.

00:34:44.060 So what happened during the pandemic was not necessarily that they were adding those deaths to COVID.

00:34:49.840 It was that we learned for the first time, by counting all the deaths and really keeping track, that the flu deaths had always been an estimate based on excess mortality.

00:35:02.220 It was never based on counting the flu deaths.

00:35:05.320 And excess mortality could be anything.

00:35:07.840 Yeah, so that, yeah, I'm not sure if seasonal flu deaths were ever real, except maybe somebody who's 90.

00:35:17.220 All right.

00:35:18.600 Here's something that looked like a parody on just the news was reporting this.

00:35:23.600 Apparently, the AP is going to partner with outlets funded by liberals to launch a nonpartisan news initiative.

00:35:29.780 Come on.

00:35:33.620 First of all, it's the AP.

00:35:36.100 And second of all, they're going to have a liberal funded nonpartisan news initiative.

00:35:41.140 That's not a thing.

00:35:43.600 Democrats are still stuck at the level of awareness where they think some of the news is real, but those other people are lying to them.

00:35:55.260 Now, if you're stuck in that level of reality, nothing you do is going to be right because it's a wrong view of reality.

00:36:04.520 The real reality is that all the news has always been fake all the time.

00:36:08.720 It's just that one side fakes it differently than the other.

00:36:12.120 Now, that's all the important stuff.

00:36:13.580 There's always lack of context, et cetera.

00:36:16.420 Now, how do I know this?

00:36:18.080 Well, I know it the same way everybody who's been in the news knows it.

00:36:22.360 I've been in the news so many times that I know what's true about myself, let's say, and I can tell that the news is wrong routinely, almost all the time.

00:36:32.980 At least there's context left out.

00:36:35.820 So, yes, the news is not real.

00:36:39.180 Climate change is not reporting on what's real, even if it is real.

00:36:44.480 That's not why it's being reported.

00:36:46.140 The reason things get reported are completely unrelated to whether they're real.

00:36:52.960 You know, if you don't know that, that the corporate media is a way to control the country, it's not a way to inform the country.

00:37:00.820 Right.

00:37:01.520 The way we were taught when we were kids was that we have this elected government that is, you know, responsive to the citizens.

00:37:09.260 And thank God we have the free press because the free press acts like regulators.

00:37:15.240 It's almost like they regulate the government because they expose their bad things and then they have to change or go to jail.

00:37:23.300 That's what I was taught.

00:37:26.040 Here's the truth.

00:37:28.340 Everything that's regulated eventually gets captured by what they regulate.

00:37:32.480 If you're regulating a business, the business will eventually, because it has all the money and the regulators are poor people, they'll find some way to get their people on the regulator board or they'll say, you know, you haven't made much money as a regulator.

00:37:49.540 But, gosh, you're so experienced in this that if you were to ever quit the regulating board, we'd sure look at you as a high paid employee in the future.

00:37:58.860 That's for sure.

00:37:59.560 And so, by the way, while you're regulating and before you get this great job with us, we've got some things we'd like you to decide.

00:38:07.460 And if you decide the right way, well, we're definitely going to hire you in the future for high pay.

00:38:12.380 But if it goes the other way, I don't know.

00:38:15.480 I'm not sure if you're the kind of employee that we'd want to take a chance on.

00:38:19.000 So, as long as the thing getting regulated has more money than the people regulating them, the regulators will eventually be owned by the regulated.

00:38:31.280 And we observe that everywhere.

00:38:33.700 Everywhere.

00:38:35.040 It's not something that's happened once.

00:38:37.540 And so it's a big story because that one time it happened.

00:38:40.380 No, it's the universal thing.

00:38:42.480 It happens everywhere.

00:38:43.620 Is the FDA, an independent branch, working for your benefit?

00:38:48.900 I doubt it.

00:38:51.580 I don't think so.

00:38:53.480 No.

00:38:54.000 Are any of the regulatory boards independent of the things that they're regulating?

00:38:58.780 I don't think so.

00:39:00.500 I doubt it.

00:39:02.800 Do you think Congress is independent of the industrial military complex?

00:39:08.640 Not a chance.

00:39:11.580 No, they're supposed to be sort of in charge of it.

00:39:14.580 But no, the military industrial complex has more money than politicians.

00:39:19.960 So what happens when that happens?

00:39:22.180 The regulators get regulated.

00:39:24.480 You know, it reverses.

00:39:27.400 So what happens with the news?

00:39:29.380 The news is supposed to be the regulators of our government.

00:39:33.200 But what really happened?

00:39:34.820 Well, our government, first of all, is basically a corporate entity because it does what big

00:39:41.700 corporations want it to do.

00:39:43.600 And what do big corporations do?

00:39:45.260 Well, they got a lot of money.

00:39:46.260 Do you think they're going to let the news just say anything it wants?

00:39:49.080 Of course not.

00:39:50.820 Why do you think pharmaceutical companies are the main news advertisers?

00:39:56.100 As Tucker Carlson points out, is it because they'll sell more drugs?

00:40:01.220 No.

00:40:01.620 Well, they might, but it's so they can control the news.

00:40:06.360 So the news doesn't say, stop taking these dangerous drugs.

00:40:10.100 That's why.

00:40:11.260 Yeah.

00:40:11.600 So the news industry is not only obviously captured by both the Democrats and corporate

00:40:18.400 interests, but it only could have happened.

00:40:22.560 There wasn't another alternative.

00:40:24.680 In every case, the richer entity becomes in control of the less rich entity, and there's

00:40:32.000 no exceptions to that in the long run.

00:40:34.180 We've never seen one in the history of humankind.

00:40:37.600 Whoever has the most money ends up regulating the people who are supposed to regulate them.

00:40:43.100 Period.

00:40:44.180 And so the news couldn't possibly be independent by this point in our nation's history.

00:40:49.640 It's way too long for them to still be independent.

00:40:53.380 So you should assume that they're either owned by intelligence agencies or controlled by them

00:40:59.000 in the important ways.

00:41:00.800 And you should assume that none of it's real and that everybody has an interest and the

00:41:09.100 news is not even in the business of informing you.

00:41:11.460 It's just not even their business model.

00:41:14.280 All right.

00:41:16.700 I saw some companies are scaling back on Pride Month because there was a lot of blowback before.

00:41:22.420 And I have to wonder how that business meeting goes.

00:41:26.640 How do you think they described that or talked about it privately before they decided to, quote,

00:41:32.280 scale back on their LGBT, you know, Gay Pride Month stuff?

00:41:37.360 I feel like it went like this.

00:41:39.040 Bob, we had a little blowback from the going to pro-LGBT.

00:41:44.980 We're going to need to pull it back a little bit.

00:41:48.420 What do you mean?

00:41:49.300 How much?

00:41:50.480 Well, I think 9%.

00:41:52.200 We'd like you to act.

00:41:55.120 We'd like the stores to be 9% less gay.

00:41:59.600 I'm not even sure how to do that.

00:42:02.460 Yeah, we're just, instead of being full gay, just 9% less.

00:42:07.520 We're just going to pull back a little bit and see what happens.

00:42:11.120 And then I think, you know, there'll probably be follow-up questions.

00:42:17.120 All right.

00:42:17.640 I got a question, boss.

00:42:20.020 What would be some examples of being 9% less gay so we don't get all the blowback again?

00:42:26.600 And the boss would say, well, let's not have our cashiers dressed in rainbow colors and twerking with the customers.

00:42:36.700 And I'd be like, no twerking?

00:42:39.500 That's way more than 9% cutting back.

00:42:41.580 And then the boss would say, well, you're right.

00:42:44.380 If we get rid of all the twerking at the cashier stations, that's going to be way more than 9% cutting back.

00:42:51.320 So here's what we're going to do.

00:42:54.000 No twerking, but everybody's going to have to wear one of those talking bathing suits just to show, you know, that we're pro-trans.

00:43:03.900 And it's like, boss, yeah, I don't want to wear a tucking bathing suit.

00:43:11.460 That seems like that'd be more than 9%.

00:43:13.700 You know, going in the wrong direction, maybe.

00:43:16.940 Yeah, I just wonder how the business meeting went.

00:43:18.680 That's all.

00:43:19.580 Well, we're in fake poll season where the polls might be right sometimes.

00:43:24.280 But you should assume that many of our polls are faked for the purpose of making any election irregularities look like they're real.

00:43:35.560 Yes, I mean that.

00:43:37.040 I do mean that no matter how many polls say Trump is going to be winning by 20 points in November, there will be polls that say that Biden is up by one.

00:43:47.760 You want to take that bet?

00:43:48.780 Does anyone want to take the bet that no matter what kind of a giant lead that Trump might have in some polls, there will be other polls that say Biden up one.

00:44:01.940 I guarantee it.

00:44:03.280 And they will not be real polls.

00:44:08.420 Axiosus says that one of the first polls conducted since the jury found Trump guilty found a significant minority of Republicans and independents.

00:44:17.900 want him to drop out and the majority of registered voters approve of the jury's decision.

00:44:25.940 So that's a real poll right there, huh?

00:44:29.020 Because I'll bet a lot of you Trump supporters, you're running into people every day who say,

00:44:35.500 huh, I was going to vote for Trump, but now that he's been found guilty by his enemies, I can't vote for him anymore.

00:44:44.660 Do you believe, let me ask, have any of you met one Republican who said, I'm not going to vote for him because of the lawfare trial?

00:44:53.640 Just one?

00:44:54.860 Anybody?

00:44:56.200 Is there even one of you who's ever met one person who said this is going to make them not vote for Trump?

00:45:03.200 Well, apparently Axios can find all kinds of people who say that.

00:45:10.520 No, it's not a thing.

00:45:12.680 Yeah, it's not a thing.

00:45:15.200 If this poll came out and I'd also heard of or met or talked to or I'd seen a post, something on social media, some whisper, some hint, some suggestion,

00:45:26.260 that even one person had changed their mind because of the trial to vote against him anyway, then I'd say, well, could be, maybe.

00:45:35.940 But I'm going to declare this sounds like, to me, the fakest of the fake polls.

00:45:42.060 Fakey fake.

00:45:43.240 Speaking of fake, Biden says he's got a peace plan for Gaza and Israel, and Israel is backing it.

00:45:50.420 But there is a dispute about whether Israel is backing it.

00:45:55.300 I think what really happened is Israel said, sure, you can say that.

00:45:59.740 Go ahead.

00:46:00.920 Which is a little different from saying it's their plan.

00:46:05.160 But here's the plan.

00:46:07.240 Let me give you the details of Biden's plan for peace.

00:46:11.060 We'll start by doing something impractical, then something stupid, then something that will never happen in a million years,

00:46:17.720 followed by something that nobody wants, and then once all those steps are done, peace.

00:46:25.740 Peace in our time.

00:46:29.020 Here's what's really happening as far as I can tell.

00:46:32.060 There is no way in hell that Biden or his team thinks that this peace proposal is going to go anywhere.

00:46:37.600 There's no way in hell that Israel is in favor of this, even though they said, go ahead, go ahead and propose it.

00:46:44.400 Because they will simply stall until they get what they want.

00:46:50.500 Allow me to be Israel and play this out for you, right?

00:46:54.340 Joe Biden says he wants to propose this peace thing where we're going to do an immediate ceasefire,

00:46:59.320 and then later we'll talk about getting our hostages back, and then we'll return Hamas to power in Gaza.

00:47:06.560 And Netanyahu says, what?

00:47:08.760 And then he repeats it, and Netanyahu says, there isn't a chance in the fucking world that we're going to consider any of that.

00:47:16.900 We're going to go for a total victory.

00:47:18.860 There will be zero Hamas left, and what happens to Gaza will be our decision.

00:47:23.900 Fuck you.

00:47:25.680 Because that's the reality.

00:47:28.940 But do you think he can say no?

00:47:32.620 Well, you don't want to say no to the United States.

00:47:34.980 You still need some weapons.

00:47:36.040 You still want some goodwill.

00:47:37.720 So instead, what do you do?

00:47:41.600 You Gavin Newsom him.

00:47:43.620 You Gavin Newsom him.

00:47:45.520 Remember Gavin Newsom had to deal with reparations?

00:47:48.760 So instead of saying yes or no, both of which would be bad,

00:47:52.780 he said, let's form a committee and study it forever until I've got a different job.

00:47:59.040 He basically is going to make them study it until he has a different job.

00:48:02.520 Now, that's some good weasel stuff right there.

00:48:07.140 But obviously, Israel is doing the same thing.

00:48:09.800 It's going to look like this.

00:48:11.080 All right, Israel, all you have to do is cease fire.

00:48:15.740 And Israel will say, got it.

00:48:18.100 Cease fire.

00:48:19.360 We'll get right on that as soon as we clean out this last nest of Hamas people.

00:48:25.000 Well, no, we really sort of the whole point of it was immediate cease fire.

00:48:30.700 Got it.

00:48:31.340 The media cease fire.

00:48:32.780 We'll get right on that as soon as we're done with just this one operation.

00:48:38.080 Well, really, we'd like it immediately.

00:48:40.820 I know.

00:48:41.600 But, you know, in the real world, you can wait for this one operation.

00:48:45.340 And then they wait for the one operation.

00:48:47.260 And they go, you know what we discovered when we did this operation?

00:48:51.200 More tunnels.

00:48:53.620 I thought we were pretty close to being done.

00:48:55.440 I honestly did.

00:48:56.740 But it looks like we found a few more tunnels.

00:48:58.880 Can you give me two more weeks?

00:49:00.320 No, there's no chance that Israel is taking any of this bullshit seriously.

00:49:07.160 They are going to destroy every fucking Hamas, you know, atom that they can find.

00:49:13.800 And they're not going to stop till it's done.

00:49:15.900 And they're not going to let anybody tell them what's going to happen in Gaza when it's done.

00:49:20.040 Those things you should just take as a given.

00:49:21.980 And I think there's also some adventure in the story about Netanyahu will go to jail if he gets out of office.

00:49:32.140 I think that's real, right?

00:49:34.200 So Netanyahu's enemies have enough power that they can put him in jail if they rise to power.

00:49:39.200 So he has to keep his job or else he goes to jail.

00:49:45.020 That's the only system that's worse than ours.

00:49:48.180 You've got to do whatever it takes to keep in your job or else you're going to go to jail.

00:49:53.660 Huh.

00:49:54.480 Well, the best thing I could do is start a war, make it really big because people don't like to get rid of their leaders during a war.

00:50:02.200 So Israel has created this situation where their leader has to be a war leader because otherwise he'll go to jail.

00:50:12.680 Imagine if that was your system on paper.

00:50:16.300 Just imagine you saw it on paper.

00:50:17.940 All right, here's our system.

00:50:19.280 Let me draw this up for you.

00:50:21.100 I've got a diagram.

00:50:23.120 Here we've got these two paths.

00:50:26.060 You can start a war, which we don't like.

00:50:29.260 But that's the only way that you can stay in a jail.

00:50:33.740 So you've got your two choices here.

00:50:35.400 You've got your war forever, stay in power, or work out peace, and you go directly to jail for reasons that you might not even think are real.

00:50:48.360 That's their actual system.

00:50:50.920 Jail or war for their leader.

00:50:53.140 I mean, it's specific to this leader, but that's the situation they put themselves in.

00:50:59.260 So, no, that piece plan's all fake.

00:51:03.320 I saw that Trump raised $53 million in 24 hours after the jury verdict came out, but I also saw a story that he raised $35 million.

00:51:14.460 Did he raise $35 million or $53 million?

00:51:19.700 Well, I'm a little bit dyslexic, so I'm going to say, eh, no difference.

00:51:25.740 $53 million, $35 million to dyslexics like me, it's the same number.

00:51:31.480 So let's not dispute that.

00:51:35.420 Well, here's how you know the Democrats do not have anybody smart advising them.

00:51:41.100 They have decided collectively, hilariously, that calling Trump a convicted felon is totally going to make a difference.

00:51:49.840 So let me take you through what happened.

00:51:54.140 Democrats.

00:51:55.360 All right.

00:51:55.840 If we can make this lawfare scheme work, we'll be able to call Trump a convicted felon, and then there's no chance he can get elected.

00:52:10.420 Convicted felon.

00:52:11.900 And then I turn on MSNBC, and they are so hilariously trying to drop in convicted felon on Joy Reid's show that it reads like a comedy.

00:52:22.460 So they'll be having any conversation, like, what do you think about the weather?

00:52:28.120 Well, the weather is much better after a convicted felon Trump got convicted for his felony, because the convicted felon Trump convicted felon.

00:52:38.200 I think their one guest said it maybe 12 times, convicted felon.

00:52:42.560 And I just started laughing, because it's all they have.

00:52:47.620 Democrats think that words are reality.

00:52:50.780 Right.

00:52:52.460 You see it everywhere.

00:52:53.900 They actually think the words are the reality.

00:52:56.840 They can't separate it.

00:52:58.920 So they come up with this great plan, with the best of their thinkers, to call Trump a convicted felon.

00:53:06.940 And it took Dan Bongino, I think, probably three to five seconds to destroy it, with one post.

00:53:18.560 Quote, I'm voting for the outlaw.

00:53:22.460 And we're done.

00:53:26.840 And we're done.

00:53:28.840 Here's what Dan Bongino understands.

00:53:32.620 We want the outlaw.

00:53:33.960 I'm sorry, you did not make him less valuable to us.

00:53:42.340 No, you tried.

00:53:43.840 As soon as you made him an outlaw, he raised $53 million or possibly $35 million if you're dyslexic.

00:53:52.240 Yeah.

00:53:52.960 No, he powered up.

00:53:53.960 I'm voting for the outlaw, too.

00:53:56.880 How many of you want to vote for the outlaw?

00:54:00.400 Anybody?

00:54:01.800 Anybody up for that?

00:54:03.820 Because the thing that we know is that he's an outlaw because of your system.

00:54:08.260 Do you know who else was an outlaw in the American history?

00:54:15.060 Let me name some outlaws.

00:54:16.700 Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, James Monroe, Madison, John Hancock.

00:54:36.240 Yeah, every one of them was an outlaw, a felon, an insurrectionist.

00:54:45.240 So here's the thing that all Republicans seem to know, is that this outlaw label is just telling you what we already know and what we value.

00:55:01.560 Who's going to change anything if they don't ruffle some feathers?

00:55:06.080 Who's going to make the change that's big enough?

00:55:11.340 James Madison?

00:55:13.480 George Washington?

00:55:15.240 Thomas Jefferson?

00:55:18.240 Monroe?

00:55:20.320 Ben Franklin?

00:55:22.660 They're the ones who make the big enough changes.

00:55:25.880 Small changes?

00:55:26.940 No thanks.

00:55:28.540 We've had small changes.

00:55:30.440 Don't like it at all.

00:55:32.680 No, we need some big changes.

00:55:34.200 We need an outlaw.

00:55:35.760 Thank you very much.

00:55:37.620 Nelson Mandela?

00:55:39.520 Convicted felon.

00:55:40.340 And the fact that they don't seem to understand that is really evidence that they don't have anybody good working for them at this point.

00:55:52.760 All right.

00:55:53.020 They actually believe that convicted felon is going to work like a magic spell.

00:56:05.100 It reminded me of Dorothy and Oz.

00:56:08.620 Hey, Dorothy, all you have to do to go home is close your eyes and click your heels.

00:56:15.200 And then you turn on MSNBC and they believe that all they need to get Biden elected is to repeat the phrase convicted felon.

00:56:24.120 Close your eyes.

00:56:26.020 Click your heels and say, there's no place like home, Dorothy.

00:56:30.800 Close your eyes, click your heels, and say, convicted felon.

00:56:38.600 Enjoy, Reed.

00:56:41.860 Same, same.

00:56:43.680 All right.

00:56:45.640 Benny Johnson was talking about the founders all being felons on Charlie Kirk's show.

00:56:52.900 So credit where credit is due.

00:56:54.600 There's two worlds that have been created with her interview, you know, the one that the Republicans wanted to get the exact transcript.

00:57:04.520 And Biden administration is saying, you don't need the exact transcript because the transcript that you have is close enough.

00:57:11.980 And the Republicans say, really, is it?

00:57:14.500 Because there might be some indication in that transcript of the actual audio that the transcript was edited to make him seem less crazy.

00:57:23.080 So now we've got a little more information in which they've described what kind of edits they made.

00:57:32.600 And it was stuff like if he said a word twice, they would just put it down once.

00:57:40.180 So, for example, if he said, I went to the store, they would just write down, I went to the store.

00:57:47.420 They would not write down, I went to the store.

00:57:50.860 So that's the sort of example.

00:57:54.460 And so after those examples, the pro-Trump people said, there it is.

00:57:59.520 They've admitted that they edited it to make him look less dementia white, dementia riddled.

00:58:05.620 And then the people who released it said, what are you reading?

00:58:12.160 Are you reading the same thing we wrote?

00:58:14.580 What we wrote is that if he stuttered, we just wrote it down once.

00:58:20.000 Like, how is that in any way tell you that we hid his dementia?

00:58:25.940 To which I say, I'm going to agree with them.

00:58:29.000 Now, I'm not saying that if you heard the actual audio, you wouldn't be more horrified.

00:58:36.880 What I am saying is they didn't admit it.

00:58:39.520 There's no confession.

00:58:41.260 The confession is we didn't do it.

00:58:43.580 But it's being widely reported, I saw on social media, as they've confessed.

00:58:47.500 They say they are doing it.

00:58:49.320 I don't know.

00:58:49.820 I read it.

00:58:50.740 It looked like they weren't confessing to me.

00:58:52.380 Anyway, Trump says we're a failing nation.

00:58:59.320 He says, I'm a political prisoner.

00:59:00.960 This is not a truth.

00:59:02.440 I'm a political prisoner of a failing nation, but I will soon be free.

00:59:07.260 Make America great again.

00:59:12.300 I also saw a comic, Dave Smith.

00:59:15.040 He was talking about the U.S. being a late state empire.

00:59:19.680 Then I've also heard of the, is it the fourth turning?

00:59:24.480 So there are a whole bunch of beliefs on the right that the U.S. is in a predictable staged decline,

00:59:35.680 similar to other civilizations and other examples in the past.

00:59:39.660 And I would like to suggest that that is a case of assuming history repeats, which is one of the biggest errors of analysis.

00:59:52.280 Now, I'm not saying that we're not in decline because things go up and things go down and sure.

00:59:58.660 I'm saying that you can't predict it based on the past.

01:00:02.280 So even though history repeats, and some say cleverly, no, you mean history rhymes.

01:00:09.700 History is not your guide for the future because we can't even analyze the present.

01:00:15.240 If we don't even know if climate change is real, I mean, we don't agree on it.

01:00:20.780 We're certainly not going to agree why history is real.

01:00:24.700 The one thing I'm sure of is that all of our history is fake in the first place.

01:00:29.420 All of our history is fake.

01:00:30.900 So if you're looking at history and say history repeats, I say which part, the real part or the bullshit they told you?

01:00:38.880 Which part's going to repeat?

01:00:40.960 If you can tell me, does the fake stuff repeat or does the real stuff that you were never taught repeat?

01:00:47.480 You don't even know that, right?

01:00:50.180 So no, history doesn't fucking repeat.

01:00:53.760 And as soon as you think it does, you're lost.

01:00:56.500 I can't even have a conversation with you, right?

01:00:59.060 Every situation is different.

01:01:01.300 And one of the reasons that history doesn't repeat is if you've seen that history, you say, oh, we don't want to do that.

01:01:08.420 So we'll make sure that doesn't happen again.

01:01:11.580 The rarest thing would be for history to repeat.

01:01:15.140 It can't.

01:01:16.100 Everything's different by the time a new thing comes along.

01:01:18.200 So are we a late state empire?

01:01:21.540 Are we in the fourth turning?

01:01:23.080 Are we a failing nation?

01:01:24.280 That's sort of what Americans like to say about America all the time and always have.

01:01:33.960 I remember when I was young, this was exactly the conversation.

01:01:38.760 When the hippies were protesting Vietnam, oh, it's the end of America.

01:01:44.140 America, all of the hardworking Christian family-oriented things, they're all gone now.

01:01:52.440 It's the end of the country.

01:01:54.240 Well, not really.

01:01:55.120 We did fine after that.

01:01:56.880 So the first thing you have to keep in mind is that we always talk about ourselves this way.

01:02:01.980 So I suppose that's something that's repeatable.

01:02:04.560 But it has less to do with history and more to do with the fact that Americans like to talk about themselves as being doomed, even when we're not.

01:02:14.620 When I was a kid, I was sure nukes were going to kill me and the ozone hole was going to kill me and everything was going to kill me.

01:02:24.580 This is in that context, which doesn't mean it's not true.

01:02:29.800 I'm just saying that you can't tell it's true.

01:02:31.960 There's no evidence that I would consider reliable and, you know, confirmatory, you know, by itself anyway.

01:02:42.380 So here's what I think.

01:02:43.740 Here's the better way to look at it.

01:02:45.540 We are a nation of inventors.

01:02:48.980 And importantly, we are a nation of destroyers.

01:02:53.420 And those two things work real well together, but they make it hard to predict where things are going

01:02:59.060 because Americans don't necessarily like to straight line things, as in, you know, the way we used to do this is the way we'll do it next year.

01:03:07.600 We like to destroy.

01:03:10.060 Just rip it out by the roots.

01:03:12.380 Start over.

01:03:12.960 And I think we're about ready to do that now with AI and robots and self-driving cars and probably nuclear power and all kinds of stuff.

01:03:23.640 So there is a wave of invention coming to the United States.

01:03:29.280 And the United States is more equipped to handle change and invention and destruction of the old things to build the new thing than any other country on Earth.

01:03:38.940 All these gigantic changes are coming to everybody, but only America, uniquely, we can handle it.

01:03:49.860 So if I were going to predict, I would say, wait, every single country is going to have tremendous technological disruption.

01:03:57.860 And unless they have an Elon Musk, they're fucked.

01:04:03.140 Unless they have Sam Altman, they're fucked.

01:04:09.440 But guess what?

01:04:10.240 We have Sam Altman.

01:04:11.640 We have Elon Musk.

01:04:13.560 We've got Silicon Valley.

01:04:16.060 We've got Naval.

01:04:18.080 You know, we've got, you know, Balaji.

01:04:20.100 We've got, you know, we've got, we have exactly, exactly the right human beings to handle the biggest change of technology in humankind and just put a saddle on that bitch.

01:04:37.620 And I think that's what's going to happen.

01:04:40.580 Yeah, sure.

01:04:42.040 You can think of the change like a wild animal that's coming at you.

01:04:45.020 But we can saddle wild animals better than anybody's ever saddled a wild animal.

01:04:49.720 It's just, I think it's in our, it's baked into our DNA.

01:04:53.880 We are problem solvers.

01:04:55.860 So, no, you can't predict.

01:04:57.800 And it's not unusual that we talk about ourselves as failing because that's one of the ways we succeed.

01:05:04.080 It seems relentlessly negative, but it's also so connected to our building impulse.

01:05:10.560 When we talk about things are shit, it's because we want to build.

01:05:16.740 Like, so it's not as negative as it could be, maybe some other country.

01:05:20.360 When Americans say something's trash, they've already got two designs in their head to improve it.

01:05:26.460 Right?

01:05:26.680 We're builders.

01:05:27.860 We will build our way out of this.

01:05:30.280 We will invent our way out, like we always do.

01:05:34.020 You ever hear the phrase, no one's above the law?

01:05:36.200 Have you ever imagined, you know, Biden saying about Trump, no one's above the law, and then everybody's got to repeat that on the left.

01:05:43.400 No one's above the law.

01:05:45.120 Have you ever heard anybody say that when it was generally assumed that the law had been applied fairly?

01:05:54.620 The only context where anybody ever says nobody's above the law is when the legal system screwed somebody.

01:06:02.280 Why else would you even bring it up?

01:06:03.940 So, let's say you heard that a drug dealer got convicted.

01:06:10.040 Do you ever say, well, no one's above the law?

01:06:13.940 No.

01:06:15.140 How about when, who was that famous pyramid scheme guy, went to jail?

01:06:23.300 Did anybody say, well, no one's above the law?

01:06:26.540 I didn't hear it.

01:06:28.040 They just said, is there evidence he was guilty?

01:06:30.700 Yes.

01:06:31.060 Did the court do something about it?

01:06:33.660 Yes.

01:06:34.540 That's the story.

01:06:36.580 Who's talking about somebody being above the law?

01:06:39.940 Has anybody ever been above the law?

01:06:43.140 No.

01:06:43.920 There are simply court cases and then things happen.

01:06:47.640 But I'll tell you what does happen all the time.

01:06:50.420 People are treated like they're below the law.

01:06:52.460 I can think of zero cases where somebody was above the law except for the sitting president.

01:07:01.740 And we actually allow that to some extent because we don't want our president to get pecked to death by little legal challenges.

01:07:08.320 So, Biden is operating very much like he's above the law.

01:07:14.600 But what about his son, Hunter?

01:07:16.780 Is Hunter above the law?

01:07:18.880 I don't know.

01:07:20.740 Well, the Clintons, yeah.

01:07:22.260 So, there are certainly some examples of the Clintons being above the law.

01:07:27.240 But here's the thing.

01:07:28.560 The reason they didn't get charged had nothing to do with anybody being above the law.

01:07:32.220 It was simply they had the power.

01:07:37.360 So, when somebody says that no one's above the law, it's usually an indication that they use lawfare to attack them.

01:07:47.320 So, the person you should trust the least is someone who says no one is above the law.

01:07:54.140 That is such a tell for Putin-like behavior.

01:08:00.060 You don't think Putin has said that?

01:08:02.220 Do you think Putin's ever put a critic in jail and said, well, I know you don't like it, but nobody's above the law?

01:08:08.460 Of course he has.

01:08:10.140 I'm sure he has.

01:08:11.180 I don't know.

01:08:12.200 But I'm sure he said something like that.

01:08:13.900 Because that's what you say when you're screwing somebody.

01:08:16.880 If you're not screwing somebody and everybody's just watching the process unfold in its normal way, you don't say this.

01:08:24.060 It doesn't even occur to you.

01:08:25.620 It's only when you're screwing somebody you say it.

01:08:30.400 All right.

01:08:31.000 Also, when the government says something's going to be free, check your wallet.

01:08:37.680 When does the government ever tell you something's going to be free?

01:08:41.580 When they're lying.

01:08:42.820 It's the only time they say it.

01:08:45.040 There's no other time to say it because nothing's ever free.

01:08:47.440 David Sachs had this interesting post.

01:08:53.540 He said, the agenda of Soros DAs is to release repeat offenders, prosecute political opponents.

01:09:00.000 And he termed that anarcho-tyranny.

01:09:02.940 And Elon Musk commented on that.

01:09:06.580 And he said, the Joker playbook.

01:09:08.600 So just like the Batman movie where the Joker wanted chaos and tyranny.

01:09:14.760 The allegation is that Soros is doing it.

01:09:19.960 But I've got a lot of questions.

01:09:23.140 Because this is a little too.

01:09:25.300 Here's a new term I'm going to start using.

01:09:27.400 Too reductive.

01:09:28.320 I heard somebody say that the other day.

01:09:31.280 That's too reductive.

01:09:33.140 Too simplified.

01:09:35.040 There's something more complicated going on that we don't understand.

01:09:39.720 And I'll explain that to you.

01:09:42.180 All right.

01:09:42.880 What does it tell you if Soros is involved in anarcho-tyranny?

01:09:48.400 What's missing?

01:09:49.860 What's missing with that analysis is, what?

01:09:53.840 Why?

01:09:55.620 Why?

01:09:56.660 Why would you do a thing like that?

01:09:58.960 All right.

01:09:59.420 So here are the questions that don't make sense to me.

01:10:02.320 Number one, why would George Soros want anarchy-tyranny?

01:10:07.960 Now you're going to say it's because he's crazy.

01:10:11.500 To which I say, but Democrats agree with his policies.

01:10:15.560 And his son, who doesn't look crazy to me,

01:10:17.480 also agrees with it.

01:10:20.160 So it's not because senior George Soros is crazy.

01:10:23.820 Because right down the line beneath him,

01:10:26.000 you can see a whole bunch of people who are on the same page.

01:10:29.240 So are they all crazy?

01:10:31.320 So crazy doesn't explain it.

01:10:33.940 How about Soros has a way to benefit from it?

01:10:38.500 Like he's found a way to make money.

01:10:42.380 Soros is giving his money away.

01:10:44.180 If his main thing were how to make money,

01:10:49.720 the first thing you do is stop giving it away.

01:10:53.060 That's like rule number one of wanting to have more money is,

01:10:57.180 how about you stop aggressively trying to give away 90% of it,

01:11:02.260 which is what he's doing.

01:11:03.880 So what kind of plan do you imagine somebody makes money

01:11:07.780 by giving 90% of it away?

01:11:09.960 Now, I get he may be colluding with dark forces

01:11:14.720 to know what's going to happen before it happens, etc.

01:11:17.380 But Soros lives in the United States.

01:11:20.260 How does it make sense he's trying to destroy his own country

01:11:22.760 and then live where?

01:11:25.640 If the United States falls,

01:11:28.160 where's the safe country?

01:11:29.840 China?

01:11:30.580 He's not a China fan.

01:11:32.320 He's not a Russia fan.

01:11:34.580 Right?

01:11:34.980 So none of it makes sense.

01:11:38.040 Lots of people are on the same side.

01:11:41.700 But they too don't seem to be able to express

01:11:45.900 how they think this works out.

01:11:48.260 Doesn't make sense.

01:11:51.540 About why is it that if we believe,

01:11:57.280 as Republicans do,

01:11:59.400 that Soros is the cause of all of our problems?

01:12:02.320 So we know he's funded the DAs and the prosecutors

01:12:07.020 and the AGs and the DAs.

01:12:10.880 And we know he's doing a bunch of things,

01:12:12.880 funding NGOs and opening the border and stuff.

01:12:16.540 So if we think he's behind much of what's going wrong,

01:12:22.840 isn't there something missing in the news?

01:12:25.040 Like really seriously, seriously missing?

01:12:27.880 Here's what's missing.

01:12:28.780 Our next guest will be Alex Soros

01:12:32.040 to explain why what he's doing makes sense

01:12:35.220 and we'll be asking him some tough questions.

01:12:38.440 Where's that?

01:12:39.960 I've literally never seen him interviewed

01:12:41.900 by anybody who had real questions.

01:12:46.400 I only see,

01:12:47.280 all I see is pictures of top-ranking Democrats

01:12:50.860 hugging him,

01:12:52.660 like literally just hugging him all the time.

01:12:54.320 And he posted that,

01:12:57.480 you know,

01:12:58.580 they need to start calling Trump

01:13:00.240 a convicted felon.

01:13:02.700 And right after he posts that,

01:13:05.280 all the news starts calling him

01:13:06.800 a convicted felon.

01:13:08.700 Like they were just waiting for the word

01:13:10.580 of what word should we use

01:13:12.120 and how do we go about this?

01:13:13.600 Oh.

01:13:14.360 And then Alex Soros says,

01:13:15.880 this is what you do.

01:13:17.040 Just call him convicted felon

01:13:18.300 over and over again.

01:13:19.340 He said that directly.

01:13:20.520 He said,

01:13:21.620 call him a convicted felon

01:13:22.940 because repeating it will,

01:13:24.600 you know,

01:13:25.080 make it sink in

01:13:25.880 and just keep repeating it.

01:13:28.500 So,

01:13:29.440 nobody's going to ask him for an interview.

01:13:34.060 We're all sitting here

01:13:35.220 with our thumbs up our fucking asses

01:13:37.280 complaining about Soros

01:13:39.100 and there's a living Soros

01:13:41.220 who's in charge of the budget,

01:13:42.920 who's an American,

01:13:44.680 who lives where we know he is.

01:13:47.340 I mean,

01:13:47.640 you could easily contact them.

01:13:49.660 Nobody wants him on TV.

01:13:51.800 Shouldn't at least Fox News say,

01:13:54.120 for the millionth time in a row,

01:13:56.460 we've invited him on,

01:13:58.040 but he said no?

01:14:00.720 You've seen that happen before, right?

01:14:02.220 You've seen the hosts,

01:14:03.620 they'll make a big deal about

01:14:04.860 they invited somebody

01:14:05.820 and he keeps saying no.

01:14:07.820 Well,

01:14:08.380 just tell us you invited him

01:14:10.360 and he kept saying no.

01:14:11.860 Where's the Republican Congress

01:14:13.720 who is able to basically

01:14:16.140 call in anybody to testify?

01:14:17.860 Have they asked Alex Soros

01:14:20.360 to come in

01:14:20.920 and explain

01:14:21.600 why he's funding the NGOs

01:14:23.480 that are destroying the country?

01:14:25.940 Haven't seen it.

01:14:28.520 How do you explain that?

01:14:30.440 How do you explain that Jim Jordan

01:14:32.160 and the ones you expect

01:14:33.360 to be calling in people

01:14:34.700 to find out what's wrong?

01:14:36.460 I never heard of it.

01:14:40.320 How do you explain this?

01:14:42.940 It can't be true

01:14:44.140 that he's behind

01:14:45.400 all of our problems

01:14:46.540 and nobody wants to talk to him

01:14:48.920 in the news business,

01:14:49.960 not the left or the right.

01:14:51.700 Or if he's saying no

01:14:53.600 to interviews,

01:14:55.080 why isn't that being reported?

01:14:57.780 We're trying to find out

01:14:59.020 what he thinks,

01:14:59.640 but he keeps saying no.

01:15:00.580 You see that there's something,

01:15:04.520 the biggest part of the story

01:15:05.960 is the part that's missing.

01:15:08.160 All the things we talk about

01:15:09.860 are the small parts of the story.

01:15:12.820 The big part is

01:15:13.940 what the fuck's going on?

01:15:15.560 And nobody's asking the question

01:15:16.940 except me, apparently.

01:15:18.620 I've never even heard anybody

01:15:19.760 say what I'm saying,

01:15:21.020 which is,

01:15:21.660 why aren't we talking to him

01:15:22.840 every day?

01:15:23.960 Why isn't he on

01:15:24.860 one of the news shows

01:15:26.000 every day

01:15:27.560 if he's this important?

01:15:29.740 So one of two things

01:15:31.040 are possible.

01:15:32.040 He's not that important

01:15:33.360 and he's not really

01:15:35.340 destroying the country.

01:15:37.800 Or he has so much power

01:15:39.720 that even the Republicans

01:15:42.060 are afraid of him.

01:15:45.300 Can you think of a third reason

01:15:47.820 why he's not the top

01:15:49.440 news story every day?

01:15:51.620 If immigration is

01:15:52.960 the top news story,

01:15:54.760 you're not talking to the person

01:15:56.220 you think is causing it?

01:15:57.560 Or one of them?

01:16:00.540 How does any of this make sense?

01:16:02.820 I'll bet you don't have

01:16:03.560 a hypothesis.

01:16:05.220 Because I don't have,

01:16:06.440 usually I have like

01:16:07.840 the evil hypothesis.

01:16:09.640 It's like, well,

01:16:10.640 given what we see,

01:16:12.080 there must be some

01:16:12.880 conspiracy master plan.

01:16:15.340 But I don't even see

01:16:16.260 what that would be.

01:16:17.780 What I see here is just

01:16:18.940 something gigantic

01:16:20.520 that's just missing.

01:16:22.960 And we act like

01:16:24.000 we don't notice.

01:16:25.720 Why do we keep acting

01:16:26.860 like we don't notice

01:16:27.820 he's not on TV every day

01:16:29.260 talking about why

01:16:30.200 he's doing what he's doing?

01:16:31.600 And yet we talk

01:16:32.640 all day long

01:16:33.660 about the effects

01:16:34.940 of his actions

01:16:35.920 and never talk to him.

01:16:41.840 It's the biggest mystery

01:16:42.980 in the news.

01:16:43.580 I have no idea

01:16:45.040 what's behind that.

01:16:46.300 I really don't.

01:16:48.780 Anyway.

01:16:51.480 Here's what,

01:16:52.500 here's the best thing

01:16:53.460 I can imagine

01:16:54.140 if I were to

01:16:55.000 intuit

01:16:55.560 the Soros opinion

01:16:57.460 is that you have

01:16:58.740 to break something

01:16:59.620 before you can fix it.

01:17:00.960 In other words,

01:17:02.600 maybe,

01:17:03.620 this is the most

01:17:04.340 charitable interpretation,

01:17:06.800 is that Soros knows

01:17:08.420 he needs to break

01:17:09.680 our immigration system

01:17:10.920 before it turns

01:17:12.580 into something

01:17:13.180 that's a kinder,

01:17:14.540 gentler one

01:17:15.100 for the world.

01:17:16.680 Maybe he needs

01:17:17.340 to break the cities

01:17:19.100 and break the justice system

01:17:22.060 before we say,

01:17:24.220 you know what,

01:17:24.700 maybe we should rethink

01:17:25.880 putting 30%

01:17:27.760 of black people in jail

01:17:28.840 or whatever the number is.

01:17:31.840 So it could be

01:17:33.180 that he is actually

01:17:34.280 so smart,

01:17:35.520 the senior Soros,

01:17:37.140 that he knows

01:17:37.980 the one and only way

01:17:38.940 to make the world better

01:17:40.200 is you got to break

01:17:41.100 what's here

01:17:41.660 and you got to break it hard

01:17:43.520 and with no remorse

01:17:44.880 and that you'll go through

01:17:46.380 a terrible time fixing it,

01:17:48.020 but you have to get there.

01:17:52.180 Maybe you can't say that out loud.

01:17:54.580 Maybe that's the problem.

01:17:56.320 Maybe it's a belief.

01:17:57.480 I'm just speculating.

01:17:59.160 I have no reason

01:17:59.760 to think that's the thinking.

01:18:01.460 But that's the best

01:18:03.440 I could come up with

01:18:04.400 is that he's smarter

01:18:05.920 than all of us

01:18:06.620 and he knows

01:18:07.060 he needs to break

01:18:07.800 the corrupt system

01:18:08.980 before a better one

01:18:10.180 can be invented.

01:18:11.680 Maybe,

01:18:12.600 but I'd like to hear him say it.

01:18:15.000 That's just a guess.

01:18:17.940 Over in the MSNBC

01:18:19.460 alternate universe,

01:18:20.800 which I tortured myself

01:18:22.620 in watching

01:18:23.140 because I just can't

01:18:25.500 get enough

01:18:26.180 of watching

01:18:27.600 the alternate reality.

01:18:30.100 All right,

01:18:30.740 here's some examples.

01:18:34.500 Well,

01:18:35.200 my first question is,

01:18:36.620 how does MSNBC

01:18:38.260 explain

01:18:39.560 the right?

01:18:43.500 Because it's easy

01:18:44.780 to explain

01:18:45.420 the crazy people

01:18:46.820 on the right,

01:18:47.720 the people

01:18:48.140 who've been Republicans

01:18:49.020 forever

01:18:49.680 and they're just

01:18:51.300 in their biased

01:18:52.140 little cubicle

01:18:53.140 and they're religious

01:18:55.180 and maybe that's

01:18:56.200 different than MSNBC.

01:18:58.920 But how do they

01:18:59.920 explain Elon Musk?

01:19:03.020 Do the people

01:19:04.100 on the left,

01:19:05.740 are they unaware

01:19:06.720 that Musk has

01:19:09.020 a whole bunch

01:19:09.500 of common sense beliefs?

01:19:10.900 They don't exactly

01:19:12.480 map to any

01:19:13.580 political group.

01:19:15.700 It's more like

01:19:16.160 what works.

01:19:17.120 Okay,

01:19:17.320 where's the data?

01:19:17.960 What works?

01:19:18.840 What's good for people?

01:19:20.600 And that causes him

01:19:22.180 to disagree

01:19:22.860 with the left

01:19:23.620 quite often.

01:19:25.640 But how in the world

01:19:27.000 do you explain him?

01:19:28.860 Do they tell themselves

01:19:29.980 that despite

01:19:30.980 his many successes,

01:19:32.700 that he's actually

01:19:34.480 not smart?

01:19:35.940 How do they explain

01:19:36.840 David Sachs?

01:19:39.760 How do you explain that?

01:19:41.720 He used to be

01:19:42.540 your guy,

01:19:43.480 but based on

01:19:45.800 just obvious,

01:19:46.760 easy to explain things,

01:19:48.580 he says,

01:19:49.260 I've changed my mind.

01:19:50.980 How do you explain

01:19:51.860 Bill Maher

01:19:52.840 changing his mind

01:19:53.900 at least a little bit?

01:19:55.700 Charlemagne

01:19:56.180 coming out

01:19:58.240 and saying,

01:19:58.660 you know,

01:20:01.160 neither side's

01:20:02.040 looking too hot

01:20:02.640 to me right now.

01:20:04.380 How do they explain me?

01:20:06.620 They had to smear me

01:20:07.880 to explain me.

01:20:09.740 Do you realize that?

01:20:11.640 I'm inexplicable

01:20:13.200 unless you

01:20:14.420 cancel me

01:20:15.600 and disgrace me

01:20:16.520 and then people

01:20:17.440 have permission

01:20:18.020 not to listen.

01:20:19.160 They go,

01:20:19.520 oh,

01:20:19.800 that's the racist,

01:20:21.000 disgraced,

01:20:21.580 canceled guy.

01:20:22.500 So we don't have

01:20:23.400 to listen to what he says.

01:20:24.860 But otherwise,

01:20:25.480 how would you explain me?

01:20:28.000 Because I'm genuinely

01:20:29.300 not trying to make

01:20:30.980 one team win.

01:20:32.220 Never have.

01:20:33.020 It's just not

01:20:33.500 in my DNA.

01:20:34.180 How do you explain

01:20:37.260 so many black voters

01:20:38.460 moving to the Republicans?

01:20:41.160 Do they think

01:20:41.980 the black voters

01:20:42.740 are not as smart?

01:20:43.980 Is that what

01:20:45.060 the left thinks?

01:20:46.520 Because they're acting

01:20:47.380 like only smart people

01:20:49.120 are on the left.

01:20:50.800 So if you're moving

01:20:51.560 from the left

01:20:52.180 to the right,

01:20:53.140 is that because

01:20:54.580 you're the dumb ones?

01:20:55.760 So the dumb ones

01:20:56.680 are going to move

01:20:57.120 over to the right?

01:20:58.180 Are they saying

01:20:58.960 that black voters

01:20:59.740 moving en masse

01:21:00.880 to Republicans

01:21:02.020 are the dumb ones?

01:21:03.680 Is that their opinion?

01:21:05.540 Because to me,

01:21:06.280 they look like

01:21:06.760 the smartest ones.

01:21:08.760 Because they're seeing

01:21:09.540 the whole field

01:21:10.120 for the first time.

01:21:11.920 Which Trump allows you

01:21:13.180 to do for the first time.

01:21:16.760 All right.

01:21:17.220 Claire McCaskill

01:21:18.280 said that all the

01:21:20.200 Trump supporters

01:21:20.800 calling on red states

01:21:21.880 DAs to criminally

01:21:23.220 prosecute Democrats

01:21:24.360 as sort of revenge

01:21:25.680 don't realize

01:21:27.140 you can't do that

01:21:28.100 unless there's a crime.

01:21:30.880 Really?

01:21:32.340 Claire McCaskill?

01:21:33.760 After we just watched

01:21:35.200 what happened to Trump,

01:21:37.260 you believe that

01:21:38.160 you believe that

01:21:38.980 Democrats are safe

01:21:40.140 because they didn't

01:21:41.980 commit any crimes?

01:21:43.440 And you said that

01:21:44.600 in public?

01:21:47.000 I don't even think

01:21:48.160 other Democrats

01:21:48.880 think that.

01:21:50.640 I think most people

01:21:52.180 are aware enough

01:21:53.100 that if you take

01:21:54.500 anybody with a

01:21:55.340 complicated life,

01:21:56.680 public figure,

01:21:57.740 billionaire,

01:21:58.460 and you look

01:21:59.960 for a crime,

01:22:01.400 you will definitely

01:22:02.400 find one.

01:22:03.400 And it doesn't mean

01:22:04.320 that those are bad people.

01:22:05.720 It's just we have

01:22:06.280 a complicated world

01:22:07.260 and you always have

01:22:08.960 one toe over some line

01:22:10.300 if you're just trying

01:22:11.520 to walk down the street.

01:22:13.040 You know,

01:22:13.600 if you're rich

01:22:14.180 and complicated

01:22:14.900 and you're a politician,

01:22:16.200 et cetera.

01:22:16.920 So now,

01:22:17.540 how in the world

01:22:18.420 is she living

01:22:19.620 in a world

01:22:20.140 where the Democrats

01:22:21.080 aren't doing any crimes

01:22:22.360 so therefore

01:22:23.060 they're safe

01:22:23.580 from lawfare?

01:22:24.240 Is that just stupid

01:22:27.040 or lying?

01:22:30.740 Can you even tell?

01:22:32.140 Is that stupid

01:22:32.800 or lying?

01:22:33.980 Or bold?

01:22:35.300 It's just such

01:22:36.220 an alternate universe.

01:22:37.740 How about this?

01:22:39.780 You're an insurrectionist

01:22:41.360 and a traitor

01:22:41.960 if you question

01:22:43.680 the fake elections

01:22:44.840 and you question

01:22:46.160 the lawfare.

01:22:46.900 So if you question

01:22:49.100 the justice system

01:22:50.700 after you just watched it

01:22:52.580 act in the most corrupt

01:22:53.740 way we've ever seen

01:22:54.700 in the history

01:22:55.240 of the United States,

01:22:56.340 if you question

01:22:57.640 the corruption

01:22:58.160 that you watched

01:22:58.780 with your own eyes,

01:22:59.900 then you're probably

01:23:02.040 a dictator

01:23:02.560 who hates democracy.

01:23:05.200 What?

01:23:06.500 What?

01:23:08.260 That's not even something

01:23:09.500 you could make

01:23:10.080 an argument for.

01:23:11.620 It's just pure

01:23:12.900 ridiculousness.

01:23:15.200 Their alternate world.

01:23:16.200 No,

01:23:17.220 we question things

01:23:18.840 which are obviously corrupt

01:23:20.360 and they act like

01:23:22.260 that's,

01:23:23.080 well,

01:23:23.300 there's nothing corrupt.

01:23:24.780 No Democrats

01:23:25.420 have broken any laws

01:23:26.420 and certainly

01:23:27.300 the Department of Justice

01:23:28.300 works just great.

01:23:30.160 How did they explain

01:23:31.040 that the Department of Justice

01:23:32.280 doesn't work

01:23:33.580 for black Americans,

01:23:35.000 doesn't work

01:23:36.060 for low-income people

01:23:37.100 who can't afford

01:23:38.040 a lawyer,

01:23:39.240 and yet it's clean?

01:23:41.720 It's totally broken,

01:23:43.380 but also it totally works.

01:23:46.200 So the Democrats

01:23:46.960 would have you believe

01:23:48.000 both things.

01:23:49.320 It's totally a good system,

01:23:51.740 except, you know,

01:23:52.880 when one of the Democrats

01:23:54.280 is in it

01:23:55.500 and then it's totally corrupt.

01:23:59.580 They're also telling us,

01:24:01.120 and this is just

01:24:01.640 such a head shaker,

01:24:04.460 Democrats are trying

01:24:05.500 to tell us

01:24:06.060 that the jury trial

01:24:08.320 was fair

01:24:09.020 because juries

01:24:10.640 get it right

01:24:11.320 and they try really hard

01:24:12.440 and they're serious people.

01:24:14.980 Are you kidding me?

01:24:16.680 In what world

01:24:17.860 do juries get it right

01:24:19.640 because they tried hard?

01:24:20.740 How do you explain

01:24:23.780 why sequestering juries

01:24:25.420 is a thing?

01:24:28.100 If juries could get

01:24:29.940 the right answer

01:24:30.720 free of influence,

01:24:32.160 you wouldn't have

01:24:32.880 to sequester them

01:24:33.800 because they'd go

01:24:35.220 and they'd talk

01:24:35.760 to their friends

01:24:36.880 and family

01:24:37.420 and then they'd say,

01:24:39.720 oh, but I have,

01:24:40.560 you know,

01:24:40.980 I have the facts,

01:24:42.080 so I'll just rule

01:24:43.280 on the facts.

01:24:44.440 No.

01:24:44.940 The reason

01:24:45.560 that sequestering

01:24:46.500 even happens

01:24:47.660 is because

01:24:49.020 we don't trust

01:24:50.020 that the juries

01:24:50.740 will get right answers

01:24:51.760 if they have access

01:24:53.160 to more information.

01:24:55.780 Just think about that.

01:24:57.640 The reason you sequester

01:24:59.220 is to prevent them

01:25:00.960 from seeing

01:25:01.640 additional information.

01:25:03.980 Some might be true

01:25:04.780 and some might be false,

01:25:05.880 but that's true

01:25:06.720 of the trial itself.

01:25:08.280 The trial itself

01:25:09.240 is them trying

01:25:09.900 to figure out

01:25:10.380 what's true

01:25:10.800 and what's false.

01:25:11.800 The rest of the world

01:25:12.860 is more information

01:25:14.420 that they also

01:25:16.020 have to try

01:25:16.620 to use their best

01:25:17.500 judgment

01:25:18.380 to figure out

01:25:18.900 if it's true

01:25:19.320 or false.

01:25:21.340 So you wouldn't

01:25:22.060 need sequestering

01:25:23.140 unless juries

01:25:23.960 could be influenced.

01:25:25.580 Why do you do

01:25:26.420 jury selection?

01:25:28.620 What's the point

01:25:29.320 of doing jury selection

01:25:30.380 at all?

01:25:31.300 If all those juries

01:25:32.460 can get good answers

01:25:33.500 and they're serious,

01:25:34.580 well, it's because

01:25:35.200 if you don't pick

01:25:35.940 the right people,

01:25:36.660 you'll get the wrong

01:25:37.340 jury result.

01:25:38.900 Well, how is that a thing?

01:25:40.540 How could it be

01:25:41.140 that you have to pick

01:25:41.820 the right people

01:25:42.420 to get the right result?

01:25:43.880 How could it be

01:25:44.540 that you have to pick

01:25:45.140 the right mix

01:25:46.060 of race

01:25:47.740 and gender?

01:25:49.440 Because they do.

01:25:50.680 They try really hard

01:25:51.800 to get the race

01:25:52.920 and gender

01:25:53.320 they think will go

01:25:54.020 their way,

01:25:54.580 the lawyers do.

01:25:57.380 How do you explain

01:25:58.220 that people

01:25:59.020 with more money

01:25:59.600 do better?

01:26:00.140 How do you explain

01:26:00.700 that in the court system?

01:26:02.660 How do you explain

01:26:03.460 that black Americans

01:26:05.060 have been unfairly

01:26:06.260 treated for decades

01:26:07.220 if the system

01:26:07.980 just looks at the facts?

01:26:09.120 So the fact

01:26:11.180 that the left

01:26:14.140 has suddenly decided

01:26:15.340 that for the first time ever

01:26:16.920 juries get the right answer

01:26:18.980 without bias,

01:26:20.320 are they really trying

01:26:22.240 to convince us

01:26:23.060 that that's true?

01:26:24.060 Because you know

01:26:24.960 they don't believe it.

01:26:26.420 Are they lying

01:26:27.500 or are they stupid?

01:26:29.360 Or both?

01:26:31.680 How about

01:26:32.400 where they say

01:26:33.500 Trump must be guilty

01:26:34.600 of something

01:26:35.000 because of all

01:26:35.500 the indictments?

01:26:36.920 Have they never heard

01:26:37.800 that you can indict

01:26:38.520 a ham sandwich

01:26:39.240 and the indictments

01:26:40.040 don't mean anything

01:26:40.780 in terms of guilt?

01:26:42.460 Do they not know that?

01:26:44.320 But they act like

01:26:45.200 the 91 indictments

01:26:46.360 matters.

01:26:47.160 Do they not know

01:26:47.960 that 91 indictments

01:26:49.260 is maybe three

01:26:50.200 alleged crimes?

01:26:52.280 Do they not know

01:26:53.240 that 34 felony convictions

01:26:55.720 means he did one thing

01:26:57.080 allegedly

01:26:57.900 and by the way

01:26:58.780 probably wasn't illegal

01:27:00.300 and by the way

01:27:00.920 we're not sure

01:27:01.460 what he got convicted for.

01:27:03.140 Neither is he.

01:27:05.960 So they went from

01:27:07.320 you can indict

01:27:07.920 a ham sandwich

01:27:08.640 to he must be guilty

01:27:09.700 because the 34

01:27:10.500 and 34 convictions.

01:27:16.000 They also

01:27:16.320 it's part of the reason

01:27:17.920 that they say

01:27:18.500 they don't care

01:27:19.100 if the trial

01:27:20.400 was clean

01:27:21.160 because he must have

01:27:22.420 been guilty

01:27:22.840 of something.

01:27:23.880 How many of you

01:27:24.660 have heard this?

01:27:26.080 They literally

01:27:26.700 don't care

01:27:27.420 if the trial

01:27:28.160 was rigged

01:27:29.540 because they think

01:27:30.240 well he's guilty

01:27:30.820 of something

01:27:31.360 we're better off

01:27:32.080 if he gets stopped.

01:27:33.720 They're actually

01:27:34.520 saying that out loud.

01:27:35.640 I've heard people

01:27:36.680 say that out loud

01:27:37.720 and they're okay

01:27:40.940 with that.

01:27:41.820 So they love

01:27:42.660 their justice system

01:27:43.760 but they are also

01:27:45.420 willing to say

01:27:46.120 out loud

01:27:46.860 that even if this

01:27:48.660 was unfair

01:27:49.340 well he did other things.

01:27:51.160 What are those

01:27:51.680 other things?

01:27:52.960 Why did they

01:27:53.440 choose to go

01:27:54.540 after the one thing

01:27:55.440 that

01:27:55.780 you know

01:27:57.300 was the weakest

01:27:58.080 possible thing

01:27:58.920 they could charge him

01:27:59.660 with when he had

01:28:00.280 all these other crimes

01:28:01.380 and they've been

01:28:02.220 looking at him

01:28:02.660 for years?

01:28:03.260 Crazy.

01:28:07.240 But I don't think

01:28:08.160 the MSNBC people

01:28:09.480 will ever hear

01:28:10.340 that the conflicted

01:28:11.680 judge

01:28:12.040 was chosen

01:28:14.040 randomly.

01:28:15.820 There's so many

01:28:16.520 things that

01:28:17.120 Fox News says

01:28:18.160 ten times a day

01:28:19.100 that they'll never

01:28:20.500 hear on MSNBC.

01:28:22.320 Do you think

01:28:23.100 anybody on MSNBC

01:28:24.320 has ever said

01:28:25.320 well you know

01:28:26.900 they're supposed

01:28:27.460 to be chosen

01:28:27.980 randomly

01:28:28.500 the judges

01:28:29.220 but yet

01:28:30.440 this one judge

01:28:31.520 who donates

01:28:32.620 to stop

01:28:34.240 Trump organization

01:28:35.300 literally

01:28:36.160 this one judge

01:28:38.200 got picked

01:28:38.680 for three

01:28:39.500 Trump related

01:28:40.740 trials in a row

01:28:42.640 the same guy?

01:28:45.820 Do you think

01:28:46.500 they've ever heard that?

01:28:48.040 I'll bet not.

01:28:48.840 I'll bet if you

01:28:49.260 stopped him in the street

01:28:50.240 and said

01:28:50.660 do you know

01:28:51.840 about this random

01:28:52.720 picking of judges

01:28:53.720 and how it didn't

01:28:54.520 happen this time?

01:28:55.960 They would not

01:28:56.600 even know

01:28:57.080 that was an issue.

01:28:58.600 Not at all.

01:28:59.260 Anyway

01:29:04.600 do you think

01:29:07.000 that MSNBC

01:29:08.160 watchers

01:29:08.820 know that

01:29:10.240 the judge

01:29:10.760 didn't allow

01:29:11.700 an expert

01:29:12.680 on

01:29:13.640 donating

01:29:16.180 to a campaign?

01:29:17.800 Do you think

01:29:18.140 they know that?

01:29:19.280 Probably not.

01:29:20.800 Do you think

01:29:21.500 they know

01:29:22.020 that nobody

01:29:22.940 heard what

01:29:23.420 the exact

01:29:23.920 charges were

01:29:24.700 until the

01:29:25.160 closing statement?

01:29:25.900 Do you think

01:29:27.400 they talk

01:29:28.320 about that

01:29:28.760 at MSNBC?

01:29:29.300 No.

01:29:30.640 Their users

01:29:31.320 have no idea.

01:29:33.280 Do you think

01:29:33.820 that the

01:29:34.660 MSNBC people

01:29:35.860 are spending

01:29:36.380 a lot of time

01:29:37.220 talking about

01:29:38.400 how the jury

01:29:39.200 instructions

01:29:39.780 were absurd

01:29:40.540 and there's

01:29:41.420 not a single

01:29:42.000 expert who

01:29:42.680 thinks they're

01:29:43.300 reasonable?

01:29:44.780 No.

01:29:45.980 Nope.

01:29:47.400 They've never

01:29:48.160 heard that

01:29:48.520 over there.

01:29:50.260 Do you think

01:29:51.220 that they've

01:29:51.760 heard that

01:29:52.640 Trump's

01:29:53.980 lawyers

01:29:54.760 had to

01:29:55.320 give up

01:29:55.760 on objecting

01:29:56.560 because they

01:29:57.920 objected

01:29:58.500 so many

01:29:58.940 times

01:29:59.540 and the

01:30:00.720 judge

01:30:00.980 overruled

01:30:01.600 them so

01:30:01.940 many times

01:30:02.560 I think

01:30:03.080 somebody said

01:30:03.940 eight out

01:30:05.400 of ten

01:30:05.660 times

01:30:06.060 that they

01:30:07.440 realized

01:30:07.840 that if

01:30:08.220 they kept

01:30:08.700 objecting

01:30:09.280 at the

01:30:09.580 same rate

01:30:10.080 for

01:30:10.620 legitimate

01:30:11.080 stuff

01:30:11.560 that the

01:30:12.780 jury would

01:30:13.260 start getting

01:30:13.660 mad at

01:30:14.060 them

01:30:14.320 because the

01:30:15.800 jury wouldn't

01:30:16.360 know that

01:30:16.800 their objections

01:30:17.660 were legitimate.

01:30:18.800 They would

01:30:19.280 just see them

01:30:19.740 get overruled

01:30:20.560 and overruled

01:30:21.340 and it would

01:30:21.960 make them

01:30:22.300 look less

01:30:22.760 credible.

01:30:23.180 Do you

01:30:24.820 think MSNBC

01:30:25.600 ever heard

01:30:26.080 that?

01:30:27.200 No.

01:30:28.100 Of course

01:30:28.500 not.

01:30:29.360 They're living

01:30:30.020 in a little

01:30:30.340 dream world.

01:30:32.940 Well,

01:30:33.620 anyway,

01:30:34.160 in other

01:30:34.660 news,

01:30:35.160 the Menendez

01:30:35.940 trial is

01:30:36.420 happening and

01:30:37.500 now we

01:30:38.040 think that

01:30:38.760 there's

01:30:39.000 some more

01:30:41.080 information about

01:30:41.920 bribery and

01:30:42.840 something about

01:30:43.560 a sudden

01:30:44.500 monopoly that

01:30:45.260 developed over

01:30:45.900 the certification

01:30:46.700 of meat

01:30:47.120 exported to

01:30:47.860 Egypt.

01:30:48.680 So we'll

01:30:49.860 find out

01:30:50.280 what's going

01:30:50.700 on there.

01:30:51.220 but do

01:30:53.180 you think

01:30:53.580 a top

01:30:55.440 Democrat

01:30:55.860 will be

01:30:56.700 found guilty?

01:30:58.120 Here's what

01:30:58.700 I don't

01:30:59.060 know.

01:30:59.580 I don't

01:30:59.920 know where

01:31:00.160 he's being

01:31:00.500 tried.

01:31:02.280 D.C.?

01:31:03.420 Is Menendez

01:31:04.600 being tried

01:31:05.440 where the

01:31:06.540 juries are

01:31:09.520 going to be

01:31:09.860 so pro-Democrat

01:31:11.220 that they're

01:31:12.640 not even

01:31:13.000 going to

01:31:13.200 listen to

01:31:13.580 the evidence?

01:31:14.580 Because that

01:31:15.160 might happen.

01:31:16.380 I don't know.

01:31:16.860 I think this

01:31:17.340 one is so

01:31:17.960 cut and

01:31:18.920 dried that

01:31:19.340 you probably

01:31:19.720 will get

01:31:20.280 convicted.

01:31:21.220 And why

01:31:24.340 would he

01:31:24.740 be convicted?

01:31:25.800 In other

01:31:26.120 words, why

01:31:26.540 would Menendez

01:31:27.360 get something

01:31:28.080 like a

01:31:28.520 reasonable,

01:31:29.180 fair trial,

01:31:30.260 but Trump

01:31:30.760 would not?

01:31:32.520 Let me

01:31:33.160 speculate.

01:31:34.480 Nobody ever

01:31:35.180 said that

01:31:35.600 Menendez was

01:31:36.380 Hitler.

01:31:38.260 The reason

01:31:39.140 that people

01:31:39.620 are willing

01:31:40.100 to put up

01:31:41.280 with what

01:31:41.740 is obviously

01:31:42.440 a corrupt

01:31:43.020 trial situation

01:31:44.180 is they

01:31:44.980 think it's

01:31:45.380 stopping

01:31:45.720 Hitler.

01:31:46.680 And that

01:31:47.400 would not

01:31:47.860 be immoral.

01:31:49.020 It would

01:31:49.540 not be

01:31:49.980 immoral to

01:31:50.700 corrupt your

01:31:51.240 own justice

01:31:51.720 system

01:31:52.260 just to

01:31:54.060 stop

01:31:54.300 Hitler.

01:31:55.900 But whether

01:31:56.940 that's a

01:31:57.680 reality is

01:31:58.380 a separate

01:31:58.960 question.

01:32:04.400 Why is there

01:32:05.640 no real

01:32:06.080 debate about

01:32:06.880 ending the

01:32:07.540 lobbying

01:32:07.920 influence in

01:32:08.940 Congress?

01:32:09.940 And why

01:32:10.580 does anybody

01:32:11.500 raise money

01:32:12.260 to run

01:32:12.820 for office?

01:32:13.920 Here's a

01:32:14.580 change I

01:32:15.080 would like

01:32:15.380 to see.

01:32:15.780 I would

01:32:16.940 like to

01:32:17.280 see it

01:32:17.620 be illegal

01:32:18.360 to raise

01:32:18.960 money to

01:32:19.500 run for

01:32:19.840 office.

01:32:20.700 I would

01:32:21.260 like the

01:32:21.600 government

01:32:21.960 to say

01:32:23.260 if you

01:32:23.700 can get

01:32:24.220 X number

01:32:25.020 of people

01:32:25.940 to sign

01:32:26.360 a petition,

01:32:27.320 we will

01:32:27.940 include you

01:32:28.500 on a

01:32:28.780 website and

01:32:30.440 you can get

01:32:31.240 all the

01:32:31.540 attention you

01:32:32.140 want.

01:32:32.480 It'll say

01:32:32.820 what you

01:32:33.160 can do,

01:32:33.660 what you

01:32:33.900 can't.

01:32:34.560 You can

01:32:34.860 put all

01:32:35.180 your videos

01:32:35.780 there,

01:32:36.720 show yourself

01:32:37.940 as much

01:32:38.360 as you

01:32:38.640 want,

01:32:39.020 but you

01:32:39.420 can't raise

01:32:39.860 money.

01:32:40.200 What we

01:32:41.860 will do

01:32:42.360 is we'll

01:32:42.820 try to

01:32:43.160 talk about

01:32:43.620 everybody's

01:32:44.120 ideas and

01:32:44.840 some people

01:32:45.260 will just

01:32:45.560 sort of

01:32:45.860 naturally

01:32:46.340 rise in

01:32:47.960 the polls

01:32:48.460 because they'll

01:32:49.000 have better

01:32:49.320 ideas.

01:32:50.640 But the

01:32:51.860 fact that we

01:32:52.420 don't have a

01:32:52.940 conversation

01:32:53.580 about ending

01:32:54.540 all funding

01:32:55.440 for elections

01:32:56.380 is a pretty

01:32:59.080 clear indication

01:33:00.220 that the

01:33:01.560 system is

01:33:02.160 corrupt and

01:33:03.380 that both

01:33:03.900 sides are

01:33:04.880 gaming the

01:33:05.380 corruption.

01:33:06.940 So if all

01:33:07.940 the political

01:33:08.480 experts get

01:33:09.300 paid,

01:33:10.200 from all

01:33:11.120 the

01:33:11.300 fundraising,

01:33:12.140 much of

01:33:12.600 which goes

01:33:13.100 to the

01:33:13.460 political

01:33:13.820 consultants

01:33:14.440 and experts,

01:33:15.980 those

01:33:16.260 consultants

01:33:17.240 and experts

01:33:17.940 are going

01:33:18.220 to say,

01:33:18.540 oh,

01:33:18.720 the last

01:33:19.220 thing you

01:33:19.500 ever want

01:33:19.840 to do

01:33:20.060 is stop

01:33:20.460 this because

01:33:22.060 they're

01:33:22.200 getting paid.

01:33:24.460 So it

01:33:25.240 should be

01:33:25.580 illegal to

01:33:28.100 raise money

01:33:28.980 and pay

01:33:29.500 consultants.

01:33:30.480 If you

01:33:30.620 can't do

01:33:31.480 it on

01:33:31.780 your own,

01:33:32.720 we should

01:33:33.100 hire

01:33:33.540 Axelrod.

01:33:36.120 Why do

01:33:36.880 we even

01:33:37.580 consider Joe

01:33:38.340 Biden as a

01:33:38.940 candidate when

01:33:39.800 Axelrod would

01:33:40.940 be advising

01:33:41.520 him?

01:33:43.000 Why don't

01:33:43.460 just hire

01:33:44.720 Axelrod if

01:33:46.600 you're a

01:33:46.860 Democrat?

01:33:47.920 I like to

01:33:48.660 use him as

01:33:49.140 an example

01:33:49.580 because I

01:33:50.000 think he's

01:33:50.460 sane and

01:33:51.380 he's doing

01:33:51.940 the best he

01:33:52.460 can in a

01:33:53.040 crazy situation.

01:33:57.200 And Grok

01:33:58.160 still hasn't

01:33:58.720 summarized

01:33:59.220 him.

01:34:01.780 All right.

01:34:02.300 And ladies

01:34:06.860 and gentlemen,

01:34:08.200 do we

01:34:10.720 have a

01:34:11.400 mechanism by

01:34:12.860 which this

01:34:13.500 crazy country

01:34:14.940 that looks

01:34:15.380 like it's

01:34:15.780 failing can

01:34:16.440 be rescued?

01:34:18.020 Yes, we

01:34:18.700 do.

01:34:19.720 Yes, we

01:34:20.200 do.

01:34:20.860 We are

01:34:21.400 finally all

01:34:22.120 on the

01:34:22.420 same page

01:34:23.000 about the

01:34:23.400 need for

01:34:23.880 nuclear power.

01:34:25.360 I saw

01:34:25.880 Lucky Palmer

01:34:26.600 talking about

01:34:27.280 it yesterday.

01:34:27.760 And now

01:34:28.820 that AI

01:34:29.360 is going

01:34:29.740 to push

01:34:30.220 the need

01:34:31.840 for electricity,

01:34:32.980 we're going

01:34:33.520 to probably

01:34:34.400 solve our

01:34:35.280 power issues

01:34:36.580 within a

01:34:37.880 generation.

01:34:39.060 If we

01:34:39.760 can be the

01:34:40.920 first country

01:34:41.580 to get to

01:34:42.340 near zero

01:34:43.260 cost, this

01:34:44.340 is Lucky

01:34:44.920 Palmer's take,

01:34:45.940 if the United

01:34:46.860 States can go

01:34:47.640 balls to the

01:34:48.340 wall on

01:34:49.220 nuclear and

01:34:50.520 very quickly

01:34:51.280 get up to

01:34:51.860 speed, so

01:34:53.080 as he says

01:34:53.820 that the

01:34:54.760 cost of

01:34:55.560 power is so

01:34:56.420 low you

01:34:56.820 can't even

01:34:57.240 meter it,

01:34:58.120 it's like,

01:34:58.560 well, why

01:34:59.700 don't you

01:34:59.880 just pay me

01:35:00.360 like a

01:35:00.980 monthly?

01:35:02.100 Just give

01:35:02.540 me $20 a

01:35:04.600 month because

01:35:05.760 it's so cheap

01:35:06.420 to make it,

01:35:07.120 we don't even

01:35:07.620 know how much

01:35:08.080 you're using

01:35:08.540 and we don't

01:35:09.000 care.

01:35:09.500 Just $20 a

01:35:10.540 month.

01:35:11.140 We won't

01:35:11.560 even monitor

01:35:12.640 your usage,

01:35:13.460 it's so cheap.

01:35:15.560 If we got to

01:35:16.420 that point, we

01:35:17.060 could manufacture

01:35:18.320 competitively

01:35:20.140 against China.

01:35:22.200 So if you've

01:35:23.080 got robots and

01:35:23.960 you've got

01:35:24.420 unlimited,

01:35:25.940 almost free

01:35:26.760 power, there's

01:35:28.060 nothing that

01:35:28.540 China can do

01:35:29.200 that we can't

01:35:29.940 do here

01:35:30.320 cheaper.

01:35:31.880 So that's

01:35:33.620 huge and

01:35:35.600 we know it

01:35:36.300 and we also

01:35:37.560 kind of know

01:35:38.120 how to get

01:35:38.560 there.

01:35:39.960 There have

01:35:40.740 been some

01:35:41.240 big changes

01:35:41.900 in the

01:35:42.320 Biden

01:35:42.600 administration

01:35:43.220 and I

01:35:44.460 think this

01:35:44.800 has more

01:35:45.140 to do with

01:35:45.520 the Department

01:35:46.000 of Energy

01:35:46.500 being on the

01:35:47.160 ball, but

01:35:47.960 the government

01:35:48.640 does seem

01:35:49.380 to be making

01:35:50.080 changes that

01:35:50.840 make it easier

01:35:51.400 for nuclear

01:35:52.520 to become the

01:35:53.660 reality it

01:35:54.220 needs to be.

01:35:54.680 So if we

01:35:55.620 fix energy,

01:35:56.840 that fixes

01:35:58.020 just so many

01:35:59.240 things.

01:35:59.960 It reduces

01:36:00.600 your inflation,

01:36:02.280 like every

01:36:03.080 product that

01:36:03.880 depends on any

01:36:05.200 kind of

01:36:05.500 transportation or

01:36:06.460 energy, from

01:36:07.640 steel to

01:36:08.540 anything, will

01:36:10.320 go way down.

01:36:11.880 So really, you

01:36:12.780 could argue

01:36:13.360 that inflation

01:36:14.780 is a measure

01:36:17.500 of energy

01:36:18.440 being too

01:36:19.000 expensive.

01:36:19.460 It's not

01:36:21.920 directly all

01:36:23.080 that's

01:36:23.380 happening, but

01:36:24.560 if you took

01:36:25.040 energy costs

01:36:25.780 down to

01:36:26.220 zero, what

01:36:26.820 would be

01:36:27.140 your inflation

01:36:27.700 tomorrow?

01:36:29.440 Prices

01:36:29.960 would be

01:36:30.340 down.

01:36:31.840 Yeah, if

01:36:32.580 you want

01:36:33.420 to bolster

01:36:33.800 the wall

01:36:34.140 on nuclear,

01:36:34.820 your inflation

01:36:35.340 goes away.

01:36:37.820 So you

01:36:38.600 probably need

01:36:39.220 a leader

01:36:39.780 who's not

01:36:41.040 afraid to

01:36:42.360 take a

01:36:42.700 risk when

01:36:43.940 it makes

01:36:44.260 sense.

01:36:45.040 I'm not

01:36:45.720 sure that

01:36:46.160 leader is

01:36:46.860 Biden.

01:36:47.160 we might

01:36:48.760 need a

01:36:49.340 Trump-like

01:36:49.920 person who

01:36:50.500 says, look,

01:36:51.360 there's no

01:36:52.280 way you're

01:36:52.640 going to get

01:36:52.940 insurance for

01:36:53.720 these big

01:36:54.120 projects, but

01:36:55.580 it's also

01:36:56.040 necessary that

01:36:57.280 we have a

01:36:57.780 ton of

01:36:58.100 nuclear power

01:36:58.820 plants real

01:37:00.260 soon.

01:37:01.240 So here's

01:37:02.020 the deal.

01:37:02.500 The government

01:37:02.980 will indemnify

01:37:04.560 from some

01:37:06.820 big mistake,

01:37:09.280 and we'd

01:37:10.720 rather go

01:37:11.260 fast and

01:37:12.160 make some

01:37:12.520 mistakes, even

01:37:13.340 a meltdown,

01:37:15.320 because we

01:37:15.860 know how to

01:37:16.260 control meltdowns

01:37:17.140 pretty well

01:37:17.500 now.

01:37:18.140 You could

01:37:18.780 limit a

01:37:19.220 meltdown in

01:37:19.860 today's

01:37:20.200 world.

01:37:22.320 So you

01:37:23.020 might need

01:37:23.360 somebody like

01:37:23.900 a Trump

01:37:24.280 who finally

01:37:25.040 says, the

01:37:26.420 only way we

01:37:27.080 beat our

01:37:27.600 biggest problem,

01:37:28.840 which is the

01:37:29.420 national debt,

01:37:31.060 competing with

01:37:31.680 other countries,

01:37:32.520 having jobs,

01:37:34.100 is build

01:37:34.740 robots like

01:37:35.520 crazy, build

01:37:36.340 AI like

01:37:37.000 crazy, and

01:37:38.080 even crazier,

01:37:39.420 change your

01:37:40.640 rules and make

01:37:41.260 it easier to

01:37:41.800 make nuclear

01:37:42.800 right away.

01:37:44.220 So there

01:37:44.720 actually is a

01:37:45.440 path.

01:37:45.760 So what

01:37:47.360 would that

01:37:47.660 look like?

01:37:48.180 Would that

01:37:48.500 look like the

01:37:49.420 late-stage

01:37:50.380 United States?

01:37:52.420 Would it

01:37:52.740 look like we're

01:37:53.280 a failing

01:37:53.680 country?

01:37:54.260 Are we

01:37:54.540 Rome?

01:37:55.860 Not with that

01:37:56.740 stuff looming.

01:37:58.400 Here's what

01:37:58.820 Rome didn't

01:37:59.480 have.

01:38:00.480 AI, robots,

01:38:01.980 Trump, the

01:38:03.760 biggest military

01:38:04.380 in the world,

01:38:05.780 geographic

01:38:06.360 excellence.

01:38:07.440 We have just

01:38:07.900 the best

01:38:08.260 geography.

01:38:08.800 all the

01:38:09.780 resources in

01:38:10.520 the world,

01:38:11.900 nobody on

01:38:12.700 our border

01:38:13.120 who looks

01:38:13.500 like they

01:38:13.820 want to

01:38:14.100 attack.

01:38:15.500 We have

01:38:16.560 everything.

01:38:20.080 We just

01:38:20.840 have to be

01:38:21.360 smarter about

01:38:22.120 using it.

01:38:23.340 And in

01:38:23.620 November,

01:38:24.280 there's a

01:38:24.720 non-zero

01:38:25.180 chance that

01:38:26.060 Trump will

01:38:26.480 be your

01:38:26.820 president,

01:38:27.580 and you'd

01:38:28.880 have the

01:38:29.140 best chance

01:38:29.680 of taking

01:38:30.460 a serious

01:38:31.440 swing at

01:38:32.600 some of the

01:38:32.960 big problems,

01:38:33.820 the really

01:38:34.240 big ones.

01:38:35.300 The problem

01:38:36.060 is that the

01:38:36.740 people who

01:38:37.180 make money

01:38:37.620 from the

01:38:38.040 current

01:38:38.280 situation are

01:38:40.320 not going to

01:38:40.760 love him

01:38:41.120 being president,

01:38:41.900 so they're

01:38:42.280 going to try

01:38:42.560 pretty hard

01:38:42.980 to stop it.

01:38:44.760 All right.

01:38:48.560 Let me

01:38:49.160 summarize that.

01:38:51.320 I'd like to

01:38:52.600 give you four

01:38:53.720 words, which I

01:38:54.660 borrowed this

01:38:55.360 morning, that

01:38:57.060 will give you

01:38:57.600 some hope.

01:38:58.720 Would you

01:38:59.300 like an

01:38:59.840 inspirational

01:39:00.440 thought?

01:39:01.920 Would anybody

01:39:02.380 like to end

01:39:03.200 the program on

01:39:04.060 an inspirational

01:39:04.720 thought?

01:39:06.780 Here it

01:39:07.420 goes.

01:39:09.740 It's always

01:39:10.540 darkest before

01:39:11.520 the dawn.

01:39:15.600 Thank you,

01:39:16.360 ladies and

01:39:16.740 gentlemen, for

01:39:17.300 joining on

01:39:17.980 the YouTube

01:39:19.520 and Rumble

01:39:20.340 and X

01:39:21.040 platform.

01:39:23.000 And I'm

01:39:25.620 going to

01:39:25.840 stall a little

01:39:26.460 bit because I

01:39:27.420 know there's a

01:39:27.880 little delay

01:39:28.420 here.
