Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2558 CWSA 08⧸06⧸24

00:00:00.000 Simultaneous sip. Happens now. Go.

00:00:09.600 So delightful.

00:00:12.360 Well, let's start with these silly stories and we'll get to the VP choice and all the politics and the funny nicknames and all that.

00:00:19.260 There's some guy named Nigel Richards from New Zealand who memorized every French word in the French Scrabble Dictionary and he managed to win the French Scrabble Championship without speaking any French.

00:00:38.520 Well, that was pretty good. Feels like cheating.

00:00:41.260 But I will tell you that the Scrabble Dictionary is different from a regular dictionary.

00:00:50.900 So memorizing a regular dictionary would be really hard.

00:00:55.620 Memorizing the Scrabble Dictionary would also be really hard, but not as hard as a regular dictionary.

00:01:01.520 But still pretty impressive.

00:01:03.800 Let me tell you what I believe about this story.

00:01:07.120 Nothing.

00:01:07.680 Do you believe he really didn't know French at all and just won the French Scrabble because he memorized the book?

00:01:17.240 How about we just say that's probably not true?

00:01:20.980 It's in the news, but it's probably not true.

00:01:24.780 I'm going to say no on that.

00:01:28.080 Anyway, I could be wrong, but it looks like fake news to me.

00:01:30.680 Alex Finn is reporting on X that looking at some of the code, developers code for the X platform itself, that we're getting close to crypto payments.

00:01:45.140 And so you might be able to tip people, he's speculating.

00:01:48.620 So imagine if somebody did a good post and you say, wow, that's good.

00:01:52.120 Instead of just liking it, you could tip them 10 cents, crypto.

00:01:57.360 That'd be kind of cool.

00:01:58.340 So that's common.

00:02:00.920 That could actually change everything.

00:02:04.100 Imagine if the people on X who have the most value were also tipped.

00:02:14.220 There's some people that I follow that I have more followers than they do.

00:02:19.200 You know, just because, just because.

00:02:20.900 But they should be making a lot more money than I do because I end up retweeting them all the time.

00:02:27.600 So if they were getting tips, maybe they could make some serious money.

00:02:32.520 So I'm, I'm liking this.

00:02:35.940 Apparently those two astronauts that went up to the space station on, on the Boeing rocket.

00:02:40.900 We're hearing that the reason the Starliner is having difficulty coming back is, let's see, will this sound like a Dilbert comic?

00:02:53.720 What do you think?

00:02:54.940 It's a story about a big company that did something that didn't work out.

00:02:59.480 Let's see if there's a Dilbert angle to it.

00:03:03.580 Let's see.

00:03:04.480 So the story is that the reason they're stuck up there is that Boeing hasn't been willing.

00:03:10.240 Now let's see.

00:03:11.560 Because they didn't finish their software.

00:03:14.640 They didn't finish the flight software on the Starliner.

00:03:17.580 So, apparently they didn't want to bring them back because they didn't finish the software that would allow them to return.

00:03:37.100 So, does that sound true?

00:03:40.820 Do you think there was somebody who knew when the rocket took off?

00:03:45.140 Do you think there was somebody sitting in a cubicle?

00:03:47.940 Who was saying something like this?

00:03:50.880 I told my boss.

00:03:52.620 I told my boss that we haven't completed the return software.

00:03:57.560 I told him.

00:03:58.940 I sent him an email.

00:04:00.140 He never answered my email.

00:04:02.120 My email very clearly said that the software is not complete.

00:04:06.520 They'll never come home.

00:04:07.700 You're murdering them if you send them up there.

00:04:09.880 But my boss, no.

00:04:11.500 He never even responded to my email.

00:04:13.340 I feel like something like that's happening right now.

00:04:17.620 There's somebody in a cubicle who's saying, I tried to tell you.

00:04:22.000 I tried to tell you.

00:04:24.300 You weren't listening.

00:04:25.000 So, that's happening.

00:04:29.220 Do you remember Wonder Woman, Linda Carter?

00:04:32.340 Back, if you're my age, you remember, actress who played Wonder Woman, Linda Carter.

00:04:38.000 And she was talking about how angry she is that if Trump gets elected, that women won't have control of their bodies.

00:04:48.140 If those darn Republicans get in control, women will not have control of their bodies.

00:04:54.500 To which I responded, women are a voting majority in every state.

00:05:00.880 Why are you talking to us?

00:05:04.060 You don't need to talk to me.

00:05:06.580 You don't need to talk to anybody.

00:05:09.620 Women have complete control of what happens to their bodies.

00:05:12.820 In rough terms, I don't know the actual number, but let's say half of men are divided on abortion.

00:05:22.000 I think men are maybe 60% or so in favor of abortion nationally.

00:05:28.940 It's somewhere in that neighborhood.

00:05:31.840 So, if men are already about 60% in favor of abortion, and women want it, they can have it.

00:05:41.100 They can have anything they want.

00:05:43.320 If women as a group said, hey, we want to control our own bodies, and 60% of men agree, how could they possibly stop it?

00:05:53.300 They could get anybody elected for anything, because they would have a gigantic dominant majority on the issue that seems to matter the most.

00:06:01.640 So, I realize that it would be easier if you didn't have to go through the work, and there's going to be a time lag, but I absolutely don't buy the argument that men are controlling women's bodies when we live in a system where women can vote anything they want in their state.

00:06:20.080 There are more women than men, and 60% of the men already agree with the women.

00:06:26.300 All you need is a good dominant political movement.

00:06:30.440 You can get anything you want.

00:06:31.440 So, stop complaining to men.

00:06:35.180 Men have already agreed with you enough that you could have anything you want.

00:06:39.420 60% agreeing with you is really, you'd be lucky if you could get that on any topic.

00:06:44.880 So, men are more supportive on that topic than any other topic, as far as I know.

00:06:51.560 Well, a company has created a Joe Biden robot.

00:06:55.220 They just don't call it that.

00:06:56.800 But it is proof that Joe Biden is a robot and has been for some time.

00:07:00.340 It's called the Figure 2 or Figure 02, and we're going to see it soon, but it's going to have an AI conversational mode, and it can run for up to 20 hours.

00:07:14.280 Well, I think they're trying to get it to 20 hours.

00:07:17.220 But apparently, it's got full controllable fingers and AI, and it can walk around and do stuff.

00:07:27.100 Now, I don't think it's quite available.

00:07:28.480 I haven't seen a price for it, but here it comes.

00:07:32.760 But all kidding aside, is it a coincidence that Joe Biden walks exactly like the robots?

00:07:43.020 And I'm not joking.

00:07:45.460 How in the world did robots get invented at exactly the one time ever we've had a president where we're not even sure if he's alive and maybe he has body doubles?

00:07:55.900 And then when he walks, he looks exactly like a robot.

00:08:00.260 And that's a lot of a coincidence, really.

00:08:02.640 I've never seen anybody walk like that.

00:08:05.180 You know, I've heard it's some kind of standard way to walk if you have a certain condition.

00:08:09.880 But I've never seen it.

00:08:11.840 I've never seen one person in my entire life who walked like that, exactly like a robot, even with his hands out.

00:08:19.280 Like, even the hands out, you know, where he puts them out like he's a robot.

00:08:23.400 I don't know how to explain that.

00:08:26.480 In my reality, that's a puzzle.

00:08:29.940 Well, let me tell you, I'm getting so bored with all the lawfare and legal cases.

00:08:38.020 But just in case you haven't heard it, Attorney General Ken Paxton from Texas had some big triumph over Google.

00:08:45.160 Apparently, Texas has ruled in a federal court that Google, well, Texas wins, but it was a federal court, ruled that Google illegally maintained a monopoly by exploiting its dominance to squash competition and hamper innovation.

00:09:02.140 I don't know what that means.

00:09:05.360 Does that mean they pay a big fine and then they just go back to doing it?

00:09:09.860 Or do they change their business practices in some way that's going to make a difference to me?

00:09:16.500 Here's my problem with all the legal stories, whether it's the lawfare story about Trump or it's this story about Google.

00:09:24.740 Well, these stories always start in the middle and they don't give you they don't give you the background because it'd be too boring to explain the whole thing again.

00:09:34.980 And they don't tell you what it's going to lead to because you're not really sure.

00:09:41.180 So these stories all look like they should be important to me, but I can't tell.

00:09:45.520 Oh, I guess something about Google happened that might be unwound in a future case or possibly they do something different.

00:10:00.880 I don't know.

00:10:02.020 And there's a there's a Trump story, too, about his sense of the sentencing has been moved.

00:10:08.140 And I look at that story and I don't know if you're having the same reaction I am.

00:10:11.420 I go, all right, which which judge, which which case?

00:10:17.120 Wait, so it's not it's not the trial.

00:10:19.800 It's the the sentencing for the the thing.

00:10:23.320 But he could delay the sentencing.

00:10:25.740 But if it's after he gets elected, but if he doesn't get elected and and I can't even I don't know how to even put a bite on it.

00:10:35.540 But these stories are the kind that can't seek into my head so that they're not making any impact in my mind because I don't have a framework I could easily attach them to.

00:10:47.480 I think you'd have to be like a working lawyer to keep keep half of this shit straight.

00:10:51.700 So my point is that as a consumer of news who is not an expert on the law or these specific cases, it's weird that they're so non effective.

00:11:03.780 They just sort of wash over me like another legal thing.

00:11:07.780 I'm so bored.

00:11:10.420 All right.

00:11:10.660 Apple released some kind of new Safari features Safari being their browser that hides what they call the distracting parts of your Web page.

00:11:19.700 So if you've got a lot of pop ups, it will stop the pop ups and hide the distracting things that are trying to cover up what you're reading at.

00:11:30.380 Now, I wonder, is that because they want to make the experience better?

00:11:38.020 Or is it really a way to stop the independent news sites?

00:11:43.260 Do you know which news sites do the most outrageous pop ups, right?

00:11:47.120 If you've gone to any conservative independent news site, one, you know, not one of the big names, but one of the ones that I talk about all the time, the pop ups are outrageous.

00:11:58.920 You can barely read them.

00:12:00.720 It's just like pop up, pop up, pop up, pop up.

00:12:02.980 And it makes me wonder if this is just a way to demonetize the independent news people.

00:12:09.180 But they're making it look like, hey, we're getting rid of distractions.

00:12:11.760 But all those pop ups are how those sites pay their bills, as much as I hate them.

00:12:17.480 So I guess this is a story where I think, huh, the way it's presented is as a benefit to users.

00:12:25.680 But does it have some sneaky other benefit to it?

00:12:31.420 Because I don't know any other class of websites to have as many pop ups as the conservative news sites.

00:12:38.460 So it looks like maybe that's something that's going to hurt them.

00:12:42.580 We'll see.

00:12:44.600 Don't know.

00:12:45.380 Just speculating there.

00:12:48.940 What about Elon Musk versus Great Britain?

00:12:52.500 How does Elon Musk become the center of every story?

00:12:55.900 I have a theory.

00:12:57.920 I mean, part of it is his impact on the world.

00:13:00.340 He's the richest guy.

00:13:01.280 He owns big companies like X.

00:13:02.780 But sub of it is also that he's willing to say honest things out loud.

00:13:10.260 If you're just willing to say honest things out loud.

00:13:13.480 Now, when I say honest, that doesn't mean he's right on every single topic, right?

00:13:18.760 That wouldn't be a standard anybody could meet.

00:13:21.700 But it always looks honest.

00:13:24.840 It never looks to me like, oh, he's saying this so that he can get over on people in this way.

00:13:30.680 It never looks like that to me.

00:13:32.520 To me, it looks like a well-informed person who's giving you his opinion.

00:13:37.180 Might be right.

00:13:38.400 Might be wrong.

00:13:39.360 Maybe you agree.

00:13:39.920 Maybe you don't.

00:13:40.540 But it always looks like it's his actual opinion.

00:13:43.560 And that is so dangerous.

00:13:46.300 You know, if there's anything I've told you before too many times, the governments cannot survive honesty.

00:13:53.060 The reason that the news is fake is not because something went wrong in America.

00:13:59.360 All news is fake everywhere.

00:14:01.260 It has to be.

00:14:02.400 Because no government could survive real news.

00:14:05.420 The real news would just peck them to death and criticize them until they couldn't function.

00:14:09.840 It wouldn't matter what kind of government it was.

00:14:11.600 It wouldn't matter if you loved the government.

00:14:13.280 It wouldn't matter if they were Democrats or Republicans or anything else.

00:14:16.340 A actual free speech or free press with no influence from the government would destroy every government because you would see all the negative, which they can hide better if they control the news.

00:14:32.140 So here's what's happening with Musk versus Great Britain.

00:14:37.200 So as you know, Britain's in the grips of what some call race riots, meaning a lot of the migrants are mixing it up with what they're calling the far right.

00:14:51.440 I'm not sure they've characterized that group correctly, but that's what the news is saying.

00:14:55.780 It's the far right.

00:14:57.000 So it's basically a bunch of white people who are getting into fights with a lot of brown people from other countries who have recently come in.

00:15:07.200 And here's what Musk said about that.

00:15:12.200 Apparently, he must have been in an ex-post.

00:15:15.160 He said, civil war is inevitable.

00:15:18.260 Talking about Great Britain, civil war is inevitable.

00:15:21.800 And that was roundly condemned, his statement that civil war is inevitable, condemned by the UK Prime Minister, Starmer.

00:15:31.420 He said there was no justification for Musk's comments.

00:15:35.640 No justification.

00:15:37.200 Let's see.

00:15:38.820 It was an honest opinion.

00:15:41.160 So when do we need justification for your honest opinion?

00:15:46.760 I didn't know I needed justification for that.

00:15:49.640 How about speaking up about an issue where people are dying at the moment, you know, we're getting beaten up?

00:15:57.020 It's an important issue.

00:15:58.360 So aren't you always justified when you try to say something about an important issue, something that would be contribution to the understanding of it?

00:16:09.200 You know, even if you're wrong, even if you're wrong.

00:16:12.740 No, it's the most justified comment I've ever seen in my life.

00:16:16.920 You could agree with it.

00:16:18.120 You could disagree with it.

00:16:19.580 But it's very justified.

00:16:21.100 That was the best they could do.

00:16:25.160 It was unjustified.

00:16:27.200 Now let's talk about whether it's true.

00:16:29.160 I would say that when somebody like Elon Musk or even somebody like me says something like civil war is inevitable, it's really a warning.

00:16:40.800 Meaning that it's inevitable if you don't do anything differently, meaning that you would really like to do something differently.

00:16:51.460 So inevitable always means unless something changes.

00:16:55.960 All right.

00:16:56.140 The way you should interpret that is unless something changes.

00:16:58.980 So something should change and maybe it will.

00:17:02.480 However, my reading of it from the outside would be similar to Elon Musk.

00:17:09.480 To me, it looks like civil war is inevitable.

00:17:13.740 Because where are the white people going to go?

00:17:16.680 They're not going to leave.

00:17:18.600 And they can't live with the current situation because it looks like it's, you know, pure racism has been imported.

00:17:25.760 When I say pure racism has been imported, I mean that a lot of the people being brought in have a strong cultural background that they're not going to want to get rid of.

00:17:37.360 And I'm not saying they should.

00:17:40.160 I'm not saying they should change.

00:17:41.760 I'm saying that if you build a system that brings together people from radically different cultural backgrounds and the way they want a world to run is completely different and not compatible.

00:17:55.020 It's not like you can meet in the middle.

00:17:58.020 What else could happen?

00:18:00.740 I don't know how anything but a civil war could happen.

00:18:03.540 So you'd either have to immediately close the border and start massively deporting people, but that doesn't look like it's going to happen.

00:18:12.400 Or you'd have to somehow convince the people who were raised in a completely different culture that they should give it up and just join your culture.

00:18:23.380 That's not going to happen.

00:18:24.380 That's not going to happen.

00:18:25.340 So can anybody describe me any scenario in which there's not a civil war and the, I think the white people will be largely driven out of Great Britain.

00:18:35.760 That's what I would expect.

00:18:37.760 I would expect a fairly massive, what would you call it, just people leaving Great Britain to get away from the carnage.

00:18:47.840 So I think the United States should think a lot about opening up migration from Great Britain for asylum.

00:18:58.240 Because I think a lot of white people are going to leave Great Britain in the next coming years because it won't be safe.

00:19:04.400 They'll just feel it's too safe.

00:19:06.380 It's too unsafe to live in Great Britain if you're white.

00:19:09.380 So I think there'll be maybe millions that are going to try to get out of the country before it goes under.

00:19:15.660 So to me, it looks like it's going to go under.

00:19:19.080 I don't think the country is going to survive at its current pace.

00:19:22.780 But, you know, the thing to look forward to is that everything changes and the world is unpredictable.

00:19:28.380 So it's unlikely that anything goes in a straight line the way it's going, this or anything else.

00:19:34.660 Nothing really goes in a straight line.

00:19:36.780 So, again, I would agree with Musk that if nothing changed, it's civil war.

00:19:42.300 Or it's the end of Great Britain and it would be massive asylum requests to come to this country and other countries.

00:19:51.220 So that's what's going on there.

00:21:03.500 Can you give me an update in the comments?

00:21:05.680 Because I go live about the same time that the markets get active.

00:21:10.160 So I think it was sort of flat today.

00:21:14.980 A little bit flat.

00:21:17.720 All right.

00:21:18.620 So here's what to expect.

00:21:20.600 And this is one of those situations where old people can be useful.

00:21:25.420 I'm putting myself in the old people category.

00:21:28.400 I've seen a lot.

00:21:30.100 So if you haven't seen a lot, you can rely on old people because we've seen a lot.

00:21:35.660 When the stock market does a 10% or 20% pullback, that's just normal business.

00:21:42.840 You can make up the reason for it.

00:21:45.680 You can say, oh, the reason is, let's see.

00:21:48.160 The reason is we decided that AI was maybe a little overdone.

00:21:52.860 Okay, sure.

00:21:55.440 We decided that the debt was too high.

00:21:57.940 Interest rates.

00:22:00.020 There's maybe a war.

00:22:01.780 Yeah, that's it.

00:22:02.700 That's it.

00:22:03.280 There's maybe a war.

00:22:04.440 So the stock market should go down.

00:22:06.060 But I would point out that the stock market took a shit at exactly the same time the polls showed Kamala Harris was roughly a tie with Trump.

00:22:18.780 You think that's total coincidence?

00:22:22.060 Do you think that the big money people, the smartest people, because they have all the money,

00:22:26.520 do you think that they all said to themselves, huh, I think we better worry about whatever Iran is going to do over there in the Middle East?

00:22:35.140 Or do you think they were more worried that a drunken idiot is on the doorstep of the White House while already in there?

00:22:44.940 I feel like the fact that we're electing a drunken idiot to replace a dementia-riddled cadaver might affect your confidence in the future.

00:22:57.940 But when you open the news, the news gives you all these reasons why the market's going down.

00:23:03.340 Those reasons are never real.

00:23:05.800 By the way, did you know that?

00:23:08.100 There's a whole industry of financial reporting where they give you reasons that the market moved.

00:23:15.020 Those are never real reasons.

00:23:17.820 They'll just look at whatever the news says.

00:23:19.900 It's like, okay, the market's down 2% today.

00:23:22.720 All right.

00:23:23.820 So what's the news?

00:23:25.120 Let's see.

00:23:25.640 Oh, there's some bad news today.

00:23:27.060 Like every fucking day.

00:23:29.900 Like every day there's bad news.

00:23:32.360 And every day, you know, there might be a little good news.

00:23:34.840 But they'll just pick up the newspaper and go, oh, let's see.

00:23:37.940 Oh, there's some bad news here.

00:23:39.960 So that's why the stock market went down.

00:23:42.360 Trust me.

00:23:42.940 I'm an expert.

00:23:43.940 I saw that bad news and that's why the market went down.

00:23:46.800 Well, why didn't you tell me before it happened?

00:23:48.460 Well, yeah, most financial reporting is fake news.

00:23:54.480 They try to tell you there's a reason for what you're seeing, but they're just guessing.

00:23:59.160 We don't know why anything's happening, really.

00:24:03.180 All right.

00:24:03.900 So the sell-off is just normal business.

00:24:07.140 My technique when there's a big sell-off like this, because I've been through a lot of them, is to not look.

00:24:12.600 So I've managed to not look at my portfolio even once since the carnage started.

00:24:19.900 And I'm not going to look at it again until we have a really big up day, which might be a few years.

00:24:26.320 I just won't even look at it because it's just going to make me feel bad and it's going to make me think I have to sell it.

00:24:31.440 And that would be the wrong decision.

00:24:33.440 Because where am I going to put it?

00:24:35.620 So if you're worried about the stock market, you know, just continuing to crash, I would ask you this question.

00:24:41.400 Where are you going to put your money if you take it out of the stock market?

00:24:47.080 You can put it in real estate.

00:24:50.100 I don't know.

00:24:51.660 You can put it all in crypto.

00:24:54.020 Maybe some of it.

00:24:56.180 Gold.

00:24:57.360 You're going to buy guns and ammo.

00:24:59.700 What are you going to do with your money if you take it out of the stock market?

00:25:02.900 The big money people are the ones who don't really have options.

00:25:06.600 You're going to park it in cash.

00:25:09.280 That seems pretty risky.

00:25:11.520 Anyway, but I think the market sell-off also showed how ridiculous it is.

00:25:16.520 The Democrats were looking to tax people on unrealized profits.

00:25:21.200 In other words, you'd get taxed for just having money.

00:25:24.920 And then it would go down 30% and then you wouldn't have money.

00:25:28.840 But you got taxed for having money that you didn't really have because you never got to cash it out and it just went down again.

00:25:34.180 So the dumbest ideas you could ever have in the whole world are the Democrat economic ideas.

00:25:42.640 There's a new compilation clip of Kamala Harris explaining that she doesn't want equal opportunity in this country.

00:25:52.320 She wants that too.

00:25:53.180 But she wants equity, equal outcomes.

00:25:57.380 And she's very clear about it and has been clear about it for years and multiple interviews.

00:26:02.740 There's no taking that out of context here.

00:26:04.980 She says it all the time or had.

00:26:07.040 And if you're pushing equity and things like taxing unrealized profits, you're destroying the whole country, if not civilization itself.

00:26:19.860 The most dangerous mammal in the world right now is a drunken Marxist president.

00:26:28.220 What would be more dangerous than that?

00:26:30.800 A drunken Marxist president with a low IQ for president, not low for general people, but low IQ for being a president.

00:26:40.080 There's nothing more dangerous than that.

00:26:42.740 I mean, even Biden is less dangerous than that because there's no thinking going on.

00:26:46.920 But Kamala Harris will do something like thinking.

00:26:51.080 And God knows what's going to come out of that.

00:26:55.300 When you see all the opinions that she reversed, they're really big ones.

00:27:02.200 Yeah, the really, really big ones like defund the police.

00:27:06.020 Oh, I reverse that.

00:27:07.580 And a whole bunch of others that you've probably heard a bunch of times.

00:27:10.180 But if she's reversed most of her major policy preferences just to be a candidate that the Democrats can back, what exactly are you getting?

00:27:23.980 So here's the thing that I think the Republicans are missing.

00:27:29.420 The Republicans are trying to frame Kamala as a flip-flopper.

00:27:33.060 Somebody who didn't have, you know, let's say she wasn't attached to her own opinions.

00:27:39.480 And that what is happening is you're seeing that she immediately changed all of her progressive opinions to be more electable.

00:27:47.420 So that what she really cares about is power.

00:27:50.280 So the way the Republicans are framing this is as power.

00:27:54.120 It doesn't matter what the policies are.

00:27:56.020 We only want power.

00:27:57.240 So therefore, we can just move to whatever policies give us power.

00:28:00.240 Now, that's not wrong.

00:28:03.700 You know, the power element is clearly dominant in this situation.

00:28:08.820 But you know what it does is it covers up the bigger problem.

00:28:13.540 Let me say what the bigger problem is.

00:28:15.940 There were a set of things that Kamala Harris used to believe and would say often in public.

00:28:22.800 And now she says she is supporting a whole different set of things which are actually the opposite.

00:28:29.380 Literally the opposite of the other things.

00:28:32.840 Now, the story is not that she is a flip-flopper.

00:28:36.240 The story is that the first set of things that she believed was not when she was 20 years old.

00:28:42.760 These were her lifelong adult beliefs.

00:28:45.940 And they're fucking stupid.

00:28:49.120 Defund the police.

00:28:51.140 You know, and the rest of them.

00:28:52.860 So the part that the Republicans are missing is that she spent her lifetime supporting fucking stupid ideas.

00:29:01.780 Now, do you know why I know they're fucking stupid?

00:29:04.740 Even the Democrats won't accept them.

00:29:08.180 Right?

00:29:08.520 Nancy Pelosi and, you know, the leadership are like,

00:29:11.600 uh, no, you can't really get elected president with those ideas.

00:29:15.520 So you have to change them all.

00:29:16.840 So we're giving her quite a pass to say she's a flip-flopper.

00:29:21.140 That is quite a pass.

00:29:23.140 Here's the real story.

00:29:24.720 For most of your adult life, your ideas were fucking stupid in a way that even Democrats can clearly see because they don't even support them.

00:29:35.440 So we're not even talking about, oh, you don't like Democrat ideas, Scott.

00:29:40.000 You like Republican.

00:29:41.060 No.

00:29:41.940 I'm saying that Democrats don't even like them.

00:29:44.160 They're so fucking stupid.

00:29:45.240 And it's not like one thing.

00:29:47.240 She's got like a whole portfolio of stupid fucking things.

00:29:50.260 And we're acting like, oh, she's a flip-flopper.

00:29:52.720 No.

00:29:53.240 She's a person with stupid fucking ideas her whole fucking life.

00:29:57.760 And now she's pretending she has different ideas.

00:30:02.680 Well, she picked a vice president, it looks like.

00:30:06.340 Oh, well, let's talk about the markets a little bit more.

00:30:08.780 So Democrats are saying they can't possibly win if the market is in the toilet and it looks like there's a recession.

00:30:19.080 Is that true?

00:30:20.840 That was certainly true in the Bill Clinton era where it's the economy, stupid.

00:30:26.800 You know, James Carville famously advised Clinton to focus on the economy and you'll do great.

00:30:33.560 And sure enough, that worked.

00:30:35.980 But I think we're in a different world now.

00:30:39.320 We all got to watch Kamala Harris, the worst politician in the history of politics, go from it's ridiculous to imagine she could ever be president, all the way to Madam President.

00:30:51.240 The most courageous, the most courageous, the first this, the first that, the first this.

00:30:57.340 Oh, my God, do we love her.

00:30:59.060 Let us dance on TikTok.

00:31:00.660 Come on, dance with me.

00:31:03.100 Kamala Harris.

00:31:05.280 We love her.

00:31:11.140 So.

00:31:14.260 I'm sorry you had to see that.

00:31:15.680 So we live in a world where the brainwashing is so strong that Democrats took the worst politician in the world, completely kept her away from reporters so that she wouldn't accidentally talk to anybody.

00:31:34.640 The Democrat process for getting Kamala Harris elected is pick somebody that's brown looking, female, and don't let them talk in public.

00:31:48.180 And the polling shows it's a tie.

00:31:53.120 Do you really think she has to say smarter things?

00:31:57.900 Do they need a better candidate?

00:32:01.000 Apparently not.

00:32:02.100 Apparently the brainwashing is so strong now and they've demonized Trump to the point where where anything but Trump makes sense to them.

00:32:13.420 That we're just in crazy town now.

00:32:15.520 So I disagree that if the economy looks like it's in the toilet, it will make any difference to voters.

00:32:23.220 Because the voters will say, well, Morning Joe told me that the market is down because of something Trump did.

00:32:34.940 Morning Joe told me the border situation is bad because of something that Trump did.

00:32:42.120 And they will believe it.

00:32:43.460 So I would reject the idea that if the stock market and the economy are in the toilet, that you can't elect a Democrat.

00:32:55.740 I don't think we're in that world.

00:32:58.200 Because that would be a rational world.

00:33:01.400 A rational world would say, oh, you know, the economy is so important.

00:33:05.020 I'm going to have to go with who's strongest on the economy.

00:33:07.920 And that, at the moment, that's Trump, according to polls.

00:33:11.700 I don't think it's going to matter.

00:33:14.780 Let's talk about the VP choice, Tim Walls.

00:33:18.580 Well, you know, I'd like to introduce the first dad joke of the news cycle.

00:33:27.620 Unless somebody beat me to it.

00:33:29.340 You know, they've been telling us that the walls are going to close in on Trump.

00:33:35.680 And then she picks Tim Walls.

00:33:39.280 Well, the walls is closing in on Trump now, I'd say.

00:33:43.180 I just have to be the first dad joker to say that.

00:33:47.020 Well, let's look at this choice.

00:33:48.780 He's a 60 years old, bald, ugly guy from Minnesota, governor.

00:33:55.760 And he's got a long record of being quite progressive and liberal.

00:34:03.240 So he sounds good.

00:34:04.260 And he might be a state that they need to capture.

00:34:09.580 And here's why I think he was chosen.

00:34:14.540 Because he doesn't have presidential qualities.

00:34:21.100 Here's what I thought would be the big problem.

00:34:23.460 You know, the president always needs to pick a vice president who is less capable.

00:34:30.460 Because if you see the vice president as more capable, then everybody says,

00:34:34.520 hey, maybe that person should be at the top of the ticket.

00:34:37.160 And it's just, that's awkward.

00:34:39.520 So she did succeed in picking somebody who looks less exciting than her.

00:34:46.020 He might be smarter.

00:34:47.500 But because of the way he looks, and he just looks boring and old and white and bald and fat,

00:34:54.380 he just doesn't look like a presidential or anything.

00:34:57.960 In our biased way that we analyze these things.

00:35:02.240 But here's maybe the most important part.

00:35:05.740 Remember, I said in other shows, that Kamala Harris has got a problem.

00:35:13.300 Because if she picks a strong white male vice president,

00:35:18.200 then that person would be maybe first choice to be the next Democrat presidential candidate.

00:35:25.300 I just saw a funny meme go by on the locals' platform.

00:35:38.880 They can do images in the comments on the locals' platform.

00:35:44.440 All right.

00:35:45.040 I'm not going to repeat that one because it was unkind.

00:35:47.780 But it was funny.

00:35:48.560 Anyway, so if you pick walls, here's what you do.

00:35:57.020 You guarantee that the most likely person to run for president next time

00:36:02.680 will not be the vice president.

00:36:05.400 Because he just doesn't have that presidential vibe about him.

00:36:08.540 You know, for all the wrong reasons.

00:36:10.460 Because there's look, mostly.

00:36:11.780 So I think what she did was she made it safe for whoever wants to run president after her.

00:36:21.080 That could be another woman or another person of color or both.

00:36:24.660 And they don't have to worry that the strongest candidate accidentally was the vice president

00:36:29.720 who did such a good job that everybody says,

00:36:31.760 well, maybe you should run for president.

00:36:33.580 So she picked somebody who couldn't possibly become president through elections,

00:36:37.560 I don't think.

00:36:39.420 Because, again, just the physicality of it.

00:36:41.560 We don't pick fat, bald guys for president.

00:36:46.820 Probably never will.

00:36:48.520 Probably never will.

00:36:50.140 I'm not saying that's a good reason.

00:36:52.900 I'm just saying it is what it is.

00:36:55.100 So I think it was a brilliant choice politically because it keeps the door open for

00:36:59.640 a future diversity hire candidate next cycle, no matter what happens with Harris.

00:37:06.600 Well, Trump has a new nickname for Kamala Harris, and I don't even understand it, but he's called

00:37:15.000 her Kamabla.

00:37:17.180 Kamabla?

00:37:18.660 Kamabla?

00:37:19.700 He's adding B-L-A, not H, but just B-L-A to the end of her name.

00:37:24.620 Now, some people say it reminds you of Obama, but I don't know how blah reminds you of Obama.

00:37:32.440 And some people might say it sounds like blob, but I don't think it's that.

00:37:38.780 Kamabla would be funnier.

00:37:40.200 And some say it's because she goes blah, blah, blah.

00:37:46.440 And some say it's because she's boring.

00:37:49.460 Does anybody have any idea where this nickname comes from?

00:37:54.160 I have no idea why this nickname is a nickname.

00:37:57.340 But I will also tell you it made me laugh.

00:37:59.660 So it was funny.

00:38:03.380 When I first heard the nickname, I heard it in a context, and I didn't know that Trump

00:38:08.380 had assigned it.

00:38:09.640 So when I first heard it, I was like, nah, that's weak.

00:38:13.400 That's weak.

00:38:14.740 Kamabla?

00:38:16.000 That'll never catch on.

00:38:17.780 And then I saw that it was part of Trump's official statement, and he just sort of randomly

00:38:22.740 calls her Kamabla more than once.

00:38:25.520 And it made me laugh.

00:38:27.680 It made me laugh.

00:38:28.740 It only made me laugh because he said it.

00:38:31.760 So it's not what you say.

00:38:33.720 It's also who you are when you say it.

00:38:35.480 It just made it funny.

00:38:36.640 Just the fact that, well, here's what makes it funny.

00:38:41.600 So you've all heard that if you mispronounce her name, you're called a racist.

00:38:49.580 So he's introduced a nickname that is nothing but a mispronunciation of her name.

00:38:54.140 So if we all call her Kamabla, we'll all sound racist, but it will just be a joke.

00:39:03.000 So I think it might be brilliant.

00:39:10.600 It might be.

00:39:11.820 Like, I don't know if it'll catch on.

00:39:13.280 It doesn't really feel like it would catch on.

00:39:15.860 When I say it, I don't say to myself, oh, I can't wait to say it again.

00:39:18.880 Scott predicted a soft landing.

00:39:27.360 I still predict a soft landing.

00:39:29.960 I think we had a soft landing.

00:39:31.820 Whatever's happening now is some new cycle.

00:39:36.040 And by the way, I predicted that the vaccinations would not work.

00:39:40.000 There's a whole set of trolls now that are coming after me because they believed what they saw in 4chan.

00:39:45.720 Oh, Dean Davis is back again.

00:39:47.500 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:39:54.320 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:39:56.880 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:40:02.800 Good thing Claudia's with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:40:08.520 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:40:12.940 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:40:16.140 But you got there on time.

00:40:18.320 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:40:20.920 Certain conditions apply.

00:40:21.820 All right, so I've got my drunken trolls that have come back in.

00:40:27.660 Dean Davis, the drunken troll.

00:40:31.280 I don't know if he's drunk, but he acts like it.

00:40:32.940 All right, so Trump had a big event with a podcaster, a streamer, I guess, live streamer, on the Kik platform.

00:40:45.800 And Aiden Ross is his name.

00:40:47.240 I guess he has a gigantic audience.

00:40:48.660 And so he met with, he live streamed it, and he met with Trump in Mar-a-Lago.

00:40:56.060 And then he brought Trump a gift, which was a Tesla Cybertruck wrapped with the image of Trump, you know, holding up his fist after being shot.

00:41:06.580 And so then he didn't think that he could, of course, go for a ride.

00:41:14.740 You know, you can't just put Trump in a car and go for a ride.

00:41:19.080 And Trump's like, hey, let me get in that car.

00:41:24.060 And he gets in the car.

00:41:24.940 And so they're filming him as they're, like, playing with the radio and picking songs and stuff.

00:41:32.360 And so as a way to sort of humanize Trump and get him bonding with, I think there are probably more young men who watch that live stream, I'm guessing, than women.

00:41:46.200 But it was perfect.

00:41:48.880 And then I saw somebody suggest that that should be the way he campaigns.

00:41:53.500 You should just give up on the mainstream media and just have one podcaster after another come down and talk to him at Mar-a-Lago.

00:42:02.660 And when I heard that idea, I said, is that the best idea I've ever heard?

00:42:09.580 And I was trying to think if I've ever heard a better idea than that, like in any realm.

00:42:15.120 It's one of those, when you hear it, you go, wait a minute.

00:42:18.620 That would be easy to execute.

00:42:20.700 Could be done immediately.

00:42:22.500 The podcasters would like it.

00:42:24.900 It would expose him to the people who don't yet understand all the news, the exact audience he wants.

00:42:31.960 It might be the best idea I've ever heard.

00:42:35.720 Would you agree?

00:42:37.740 There's nothing that would stop you from doing it.

00:42:41.480 It would be cheap.

00:42:43.140 It would be fast.

00:42:44.100 It would get exactly the right people you want.

00:42:47.880 It's just the best idea I've ever heard.

00:42:50.200 I forget who said it.

00:42:51.440 I think I wrote it down somewhere, but I'll tell you if I remember.

00:42:56.160 It's not my idea.

00:42:57.160 All right.

00:42:58.780 There's a new poll asking people if they thought they'd be better off under Harris or Trump economically.

00:43:08.780 How many people who are registered voters believe they'd be better off financially under President Harris?

00:43:17.140 I like your guess.

00:43:18.420 What percentage said they'd be better off under Harris economically?

00:43:26.680 25%.

00:43:27.280 Now, if you're new to this live stream, the Adams law, Adams 25% law, is that every poll, 25% of the respondents will have the dumbest answer.

00:43:42.340 And it's a different 25%.

00:43:45.360 It's not, I don't think, it's the same people.

00:43:48.000 But I love that the trolls are using all caps now because I know what not to read.

00:43:53.860 I'm reading almost all of your comments going by, but the trolls do this entire, like, a full paragraph in all caps, so I don't have to look at it.

00:44:05.020 It's like, don't look at me.

00:44:06.160 Don't look at me.

00:44:06.940 I'll tell you how to not look at me.

00:44:09.180 So that's pretty good.

00:44:12.340 Thank you.

00:44:13.020 Keep using those caps, trolls.

00:44:15.920 You know what would be great is if, I wish the Rumble studio would delete comments that have all caps.

00:44:27.860 Just not show them.

00:44:28.900 It should be optional.

00:44:30.280 You know, it should be optional.

00:44:31.520 But if somebody wants to do all caps all the time, you should just have an option to turn it off so you don't see them.

00:44:40.320 So fewer drunks.

00:44:42.340 Well, every single day we hear something worse about that assassination attempt and the Secret Service protection.

00:44:51.900 How is it even possible that every single day there's new breaking news that makes it sound worse than you thought it was and you already thought it was bad?

00:44:59.760 How is it possible every day?

00:45:03.760 Well, here's the newest.

00:45:04.860 So Senator Hawley says that whistleblowers tell him that the lead agent, we still don't know who the lead agent was that day, on the Trump butler job, was not enforcing the normal security protocols that day.

00:45:21.820 And she wasn't having IDs checked that day.

00:45:26.200 And the whistleblower described it as a free-for-all.

00:45:29.960 And the lead agent is still doing all of her duties.

00:45:35.840 So there was a lead agent who intentionally relaxed security that day, but only that day, and is still on the job.

00:45:46.100 And it's described as a she.

00:45:50.700 So the lead agent was a she.

00:45:52.500 Now, that's not important.

00:45:57.060 Stop.

00:45:58.140 Stop.

00:45:59.220 I know you're going to make a DEI joke, but we don't have any evidence that would suggest that DEI is any part of the problem.

00:46:06.700 So it's a question.

00:46:11.160 I think it's the right question.

00:46:13.920 And if you tell me it's not the right question, I would say, why not?

00:46:18.300 If we have a system which guarantees fewer qualified people in management, and the problem was an unqualified person in management, isn't that a reasonable question?

00:46:30.140 How'd that happen?

00:46:31.360 Was it a DEI situation?

00:46:33.980 Maybe, but maybe not.

00:46:36.700 No way to know.

00:46:38.000 But it is the right question.

00:46:39.880 And I didn't invent DEI.

00:46:42.520 So don't blame me if DEI raises questions.

00:46:46.560 That's not my problem.

00:46:48.300 It's a reasonable question, and I didn't design the system.

00:46:52.560 So I get to ask questions.

00:46:55.720 Anyway, here are some of the things we know now.

00:46:59.620 CNN live-streamed a Trump rally in Butler,

00:47:03.460 which is completely opposite their normal method.

00:47:07.200 Almost like they expected an assassination attempt.

00:47:12.480 Because why else would they stream the entire thing?

00:47:16.100 There was really no reason to do it, and it broke with their tradition for years.

00:47:22.620 It was the first time ever there was a counter-sniper team.

00:47:26.740 Huh.

00:47:26.960 That's interesting.

00:47:29.380 First time ever, you had a counter-sniper team.

00:47:31.840 Now, what did the counter-sniper team do?

00:47:33.920 Did they stop the sniper?

00:47:36.060 No, they killed the sniper so he wouldn't be a witness later.

00:47:40.220 I mean, maybe that's not why he did it.

00:47:43.620 Maybe they killed him because he had a gun and he was pointing it at the president and shooting.

00:47:47.300 But it did have the effect of taking away that source of information.

00:47:54.280 So interesting.

00:47:55.580 First time CNN live-streamed it.

00:47:57.720 First time there would ever be a counter-sniper team.

00:48:01.280 First time the lead person didn't do the normal security checks.

00:48:06.780 First time there was an assassination attempt.

00:48:09.180 And it's the first time I've ever heard of a criminal who had no social media, but he had lots of encrypted communications that they can't get into.

00:48:21.900 Huh.

00:48:23.440 Hmm.

00:48:24.020 That's a lot of coincidences.

00:48:26.340 So the people looking for the conspiracy theory that it was all a setup to kill Trump, I still think it could be a hybrid.

00:48:35.060 A hybrid would be they didn't care enough to keep him alive.

00:48:40.900 So they just did what everybody in the corporate world does, which is the minimum amount to do your job and then go home and get paid.

00:48:47.980 So it might be just that they didn't care enough.

00:48:51.900 Could be.

00:48:53.200 Could be DEI problem.

00:48:55.740 Could be.

00:48:56.940 There's no screaming indication of it, but the system guarantees incompetence eventually.

00:49:03.140 So maybe that happened.

00:49:06.040 Yeah, that's a lot of coincidences.

00:49:08.460 I'm going to stop short of saying that the government was in on it, but I can't ignore those coincidences.

00:49:16.340 Laura Loomer reminds us that there's a new story that she was among the first to break, and she's reminding us of that.

00:49:27.320 And I think that's worthy, worthy of being reminded.

00:49:30.760 So here's this.

00:49:31.640 It's a story about Raskin and Swalwell planning to use the Congress to declare Trump as an insurrectionist on January 3rd, which would remove him from the presidency should he win.

00:49:46.220 So in other words, let's see if I can explain this.

00:49:52.040 So they believe that the Supreme Court misrepresented, I guess, some insurrection, 14th Amendment thing.

00:50:02.740 But they believe that they're correctly interpreting it.

00:50:07.000 And if they had the votes, they would simply vote that Trump is an insurrectionist, and then they would not confirm him to be president, even if he won the election.

00:50:15.060 What would you call that?

00:50:18.180 What would you call a plan, which they're speaking out loud about it, it's not hidden, a plan to remove the legally elected president based on simply voting that in your opinion it was an insurrection?

00:50:34.100 In their opinion.

00:50:36.100 Because no court has found any insurrection, so it would simply be the opinion that an insurrection happened.

00:50:46.060 I knew I was going to say erection instead of insurrection eventually.

00:50:49.760 I mean, that had to happen.

00:50:51.380 So there it was.

00:50:52.400 I'm sure there'll be more.

00:50:54.420 But to me, that looks like an insurrection.

00:50:57.500 It looks like a coup.

00:50:59.600 And the Democrats can just say they're going to plan a coup.

00:51:03.760 They can tell you exactly how they're going to do it.

00:51:06.460 And they can say that in public.

00:51:08.860 Because they own the media so thoroughly that they can tell you they're going to do a plan.

00:51:14.140 They can just tell you it's legal.

00:51:15.860 It's legal, so we can just do it.

00:51:17.680 And everybody's okay with it.

00:51:20.740 But yes.

00:51:21.520 And then I guess Raskin was saying that, you know, they'd have to gear up for what he would expect would be a civil war if they did it.

00:51:31.920 Meaning that the Trump supporters might get violent, he believes.

00:51:35.920 And that you'd need lots of security to take care of it.

00:51:42.360 Now, all of this puts me in an awkward situation.

00:51:46.520 You're probably reading that right now.

00:51:51.480 Because I say all the time, violence is never recommended.

00:51:57.840 Right?

00:51:58.320 I say that almost every show.

00:52:00.280 I want to make sure everybody hears it.

00:52:02.200 I do not recommend violence.

00:52:05.040 Violence is not recommended.

00:52:07.860 So my opinion is no violence even in that situation.

00:52:13.900 It is, however, objectively true that violence is the only way to solve these situations.

00:52:22.820 So I advise against it.

00:52:25.320 And I think that you should quietly allow your country to be stolen from you to avoid the violence.

00:52:33.760 So that's my recommendation.

00:52:35.860 Just let it go.

00:52:38.440 Just lean back and let it go.

00:52:42.440 So no, no violence, please.

00:52:46.800 Let's see.

00:52:48.780 Some guy named Edward Luce made a little noise on X.

00:52:55.320 And he's an associate editor for the Financial Times.

00:52:58.440 And he posted this.

00:53:00.380 He said,

00:53:01.220 Can't say this enough.

00:53:02.620 Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable.

00:53:06.920 He's using the largest and most influential platforms in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown.

00:53:14.240 In his own posts and what X promotes, democracies can no longer ignore this.

00:53:19.200 So I said, can you give me an example of that?

00:53:27.220 Well, why is it that I don't know any examples of that?

00:53:31.280 I follow Musk.

00:53:32.480 I talk about him literally every day.

00:53:35.160 And why have I never seen an example of where he was stoking racial conflict and civil breakdown?

00:53:41.300 What is that even about?

00:53:46.100 So remember I told you that if all you know is the news, you don't know anything?

00:53:52.660 What you need to know is the players.

00:53:56.460 Mike Benz, helpfully, tells us who this player is.

00:54:00.260 Apparently, he's part of the blob.

00:54:04.160 And he'd been against, you know, so he's one of these people who thinks America should be very influential in the governments and the workings of other countries.

00:54:15.900 And he's just a blob guy.

00:54:18.340 So once you know he's a blob guy, apparently even when Obama, so I didn't know this, but Obama was not so much in favor of overthrowing other countries.

00:54:28.380 Did you know that?

00:54:31.600 That's good on him.

00:54:33.460 I mean, we're learning that he was Obama tried cutting the budget of the National Endowment for Democracy.

00:54:40.120 Now, according to Benz, the National Endowment for Democracy is some kind of a CIA cutout for overthrowing other countries.

00:54:48.660 So Obama wasn't so big on overthrowing other countries.

00:54:52.800 It's kind of good to know.

00:54:55.000 I kind of like knowing that.

00:54:56.680 But it also tells you that the blob is not so much Republican or Democrat.

00:55:02.720 The blob wants to do what the blob does, which is control the rest of the world, probably for economic reasons.

00:55:08.780 And Obama wasn't totally on board with that, at least for the budget for the National Endowment for Democracy.

00:55:14.420 And Luce also said that a civilized society does not demonize outsiders.

00:55:23.640 He did a follow-up post where he said that.

00:55:26.080 It seeks to integrate them or where they have no right to be here to turn them away.

00:55:31.440 So a civilized society does not demonize outsiders.

00:55:37.140 Do you agree with that statement?

00:55:41.840 That's stated as an assumption that we should all agree with.

00:55:45.480 A civilized society does not demonize outsiders.

00:55:48.940 Well, I had to respond to that.

00:55:52.360 And my response was, all civilized societies must demonize outsiders to survive.

00:55:58.280 But demonizing outsiders is essential to survival.

00:56:05.920 There's nothing more important than that.

00:56:08.460 If you don't demonize outsiders, they're going to come and take your shit.

00:56:14.380 Let me ask you, Edward Luce, do you lock your door at night?

00:56:21.120 Do you lock your car?

00:56:22.260 And if you don't lock your door at night, why?

00:56:27.980 Because doesn't that kind of demonize the outsiders, the people who are literally outside your house?

00:56:34.980 Why would you assume that some too high a percentage of them might try to get in your house?

00:56:42.800 What's the difference between locking the door in your house, knowing that most people are fine,

00:56:48.240 but there are some people who are not fine, versus locking your borders,

00:56:53.480 knowing that most people are fine, but some people are not fine?

00:56:59.160 How is that different?

00:57:00.840 No, you fucking idiot.

00:57:03.500 You have this completely backwards.

00:57:05.440 A civilized society has to demonize outsiders.

00:57:08.940 Now, you could argue about what demonize means,

00:57:11.680 but you have to block them.

00:57:14.160 Now, if what I say is not letting them in the country because they don't meet some,

00:57:19.800 you know, bar of acceptable civilized behavior, that's demonizing.

00:57:25.540 You could call it vetting people.

00:57:28.440 You could call it, you know, making sure you've checked on people.

00:57:32.920 You could call it making sure that we're bringing in people who would assimilate faster.

00:57:37.280 Or you could call it demonize.

00:57:40.740 But if you don't demonize outsiders, you are fucking dead.

00:57:44.940 You're going to die.

00:57:46.640 Now, I don't, I'm not in favor of racism, of course.

00:57:50.900 I'm not saying racism.

00:57:53.140 And I'm not saying that you should demonize the culture.

00:57:58.680 I'm saying that you can't just assume that every group of people mixes with every group of people.

00:58:03.960 Now, as I've often told you, if you have not had much experience with the Hispanic immigrant community,

00:58:11.880 they are really good at assimilating.

00:58:16.800 Right?

00:58:17.340 Really good.

00:58:18.960 The Hispanic community comes in with a family preference,

00:58:24.280 comes in with a work ethic,

00:58:26.540 comes in with religious belief,

00:58:28.620 and they want to make it work.

00:58:31.620 They want to learn English.

00:58:32.740 They want to live here.

00:58:34.440 They want to help, maybe help their family back home.

00:58:37.140 But they are really good at assimilating.

00:58:40.440 Now,

00:58:41.020 if I say that a group from Yemen,

00:58:46.300 who has a different culture,

00:58:48.720 is more adamant about making their culture

00:58:52.660 the dominant culture wherever they move to,

00:58:56.160 is that something that demonizes those people?

00:58:59.380 I don't think so.

00:59:00.660 In fact, I might even compliment them and say,

00:59:03.640 you know, your culture is really strong.

00:59:06.480 The Islamic culture is really strong.

00:59:10.440 And it does have a, you know,

00:59:12.320 a family kind of a sense to it.

00:59:15.940 And it has a sense of,

00:59:18.440 you know,

00:59:18.740 a very well-developed sense of morals and ethics

00:59:21.380 and what you should and should not do.

00:59:23.160 If I were to criticize it,

00:59:26.900 I think I would be going too far.

00:59:29.540 I think it's a very successful system

00:59:31.840 filled with very capable people in most cases.

00:59:35.280 So I don't have anything against their system.

00:59:39.780 But what's true is,

00:59:41.180 it doesn't fit our system.

00:59:43.840 You can't,

00:59:44.520 it's too strong.

00:59:46.260 Their culture is so strong

00:59:50.160 that it's a non-assimilating culture

00:59:53.780 if you go too fast.

00:59:56.020 If you go slowly,

00:59:58.340 probably it works fine.

01:00:02.080 There's just some rate

01:00:03.740 at which it can't possibly work.

01:00:06.400 So this fucking asshole,

01:00:09.100 this Edward Luce,

01:00:11.960 he doesn't seem to understand

01:00:13.500 really basic stuff about

01:00:14.960 how anything works.

01:00:17.580 If it were,

01:00:19.200 if we were refusing,

01:00:21.700 you know,

01:00:22.300 three families of Muslims

01:00:24.140 from coming into the country

01:00:25.700 because they're Muslim

01:00:27.760 and their culture

01:00:28.500 doesn't work too well

01:00:29.460 with our culture,

01:00:30.320 I would say,

01:00:30.880 whoa, wait a minute,

01:00:31.640 wait a minute.

01:00:32.440 You're talking about three families

01:00:33.760 in the whole United States?

01:00:36.660 Of course that's fine.

01:00:39.000 Oh, maybe they don't assimilate so great.

01:00:41.400 But, you know,

01:00:41.880 by second generation,

01:00:43.060 no problem.

01:00:44.940 So,

01:00:45.860 it's the rate.

01:00:47.780 It's always the rate.

01:00:49.660 It's nothing about the people.

01:00:51.300 It's nothing about the culture.

01:00:52.960 It's nothing about Islam.

01:00:54.740 It's just the rate.

01:00:57.240 You can have a higher flow

01:00:59.380 of Hispanics coming into the country

01:01:01.860 because they assimilate like crazy.

01:01:04.620 Really, really good at it.

01:01:06.520 And they add.

01:01:08.700 And if you have a group

01:01:10.100 that by their preference,

01:01:11.960 by their preference

01:01:13.720 is not to assimilate,

01:01:15.560 but rather to make you assimilate,

01:01:17.400 that can't work.

01:01:19.140 But again,

01:01:20.100 if it's three families,

01:01:21.060 no problem.

01:01:21.540 If it's millions,

01:01:23.920 you've got a civil war.

01:01:27.020 So,

01:01:27.400 when Elon Musk says,

01:01:29.200 you know,

01:01:29.580 civil war is inevitable,

01:01:31.100 that is purely about number and rate.

01:01:34.760 It's not about anybody's culture.

01:01:37.000 It's not about demonizing anybody

01:01:39.100 in, you know,

01:01:40.000 some kind of a jerky way.

01:01:41.440 It's simply a system design problem.

01:01:46.160 He's looking at it like a machine.

01:01:49.160 All right?

01:01:50.160 Just like a machine.

01:01:51.080 If this machine gives you

01:01:54.760 a small number of people

01:01:56.840 who are hard to assimilate,

01:01:58.120 no problem.

01:01:59.140 The machine handles that fine.

01:02:00.860 If you overload the machine

01:02:02.580 with not enough fuel

01:02:04.740 and too much dirt in your engine,

01:02:06.920 well, okay,

01:02:07.900 I'll take that back

01:02:09.000 because then it sounds like

01:02:10.420 I'm calling immigrants dirt.

01:02:12.480 That's the opposite of what I mean.

01:02:14.260 So,

01:02:14.840 you can have full respect

01:02:15.900 for the immigrants,

01:02:16.700 which I do,

01:02:17.680 and their culture,

01:02:19.240 which I do.

01:02:19.820 But you can still say

01:02:22.540 that the rate of flow

01:02:23.480 has to be adjusted

01:02:24.380 based on the assimilation likelihood.

01:02:29.860 So,

01:02:30.540 I'm going to demonize this guy,

01:02:33.600 Edward Luce.

01:02:34.260 I don't think he should be

01:02:35.200 anywhere near our country

01:02:36.260 because he's got bad ideas

01:02:38.320 that are bad for civilization.

01:02:39.880 So, I demonize you.

01:02:41.220 I demonize you, Edward Luce.

01:02:59.380 You're richer than you think.

01:03:01.860 Well, Israel allegedly

01:03:03.380 took out the commander

01:03:04.340 of some elite Hezbollah unit

01:03:06.340 with a drone strike.

01:03:08.400 Some people say,

01:03:09.600 well, that guarantees

01:03:10.440 some war.

01:03:13.960 And likewise,

01:03:14.960 in the situation room,

01:03:17.000 I guess the vice president

01:03:18.080 was there

01:03:18.600 and Biden was there

01:03:19.620 and all the situation room

01:03:21.020 people were there

01:03:21.760 talking about

01:03:22.300 what's going to happen

01:03:22.960 with Iran.

01:03:26.680 And

01:03:27.200 let's put some context

01:03:29.540 on this

01:03:30.080 courtesy of

01:03:31.280 Morgan Ortegas.

01:03:32.740 So, she had a long thread

01:03:34.980 today that was

01:03:35.760 really interesting.

01:03:37.660 Yeah.

01:03:38.040 It's not that often

01:03:39.100 that you read something

01:03:40.640 that completely alters

01:03:42.860 how you think

01:03:43.460 about a big situation.

01:03:44.900 But here's one.

01:03:46.700 So, this is Morgan Ortegas

01:03:48.320 and it's not the whole thread.

01:03:50.100 I just took out

01:03:50.640 some parts I like the most.

01:03:52.580 She said,

01:03:52.980 the Biden-Harris administration

01:03:54.240 has set a new record

01:03:55.400 for the most

01:03:56.580 embassy evacuations

01:03:58.260 of any presidency

01:03:59.280 in U.S. history

01:04:00.240 topping Obama's eight.

01:04:02.740 Now, I didn't remember

01:04:04.300 that under Obama

01:04:06.320 there were eight

01:04:07.360 embassies

01:04:08.600 that had to be evacuated.

01:04:11.180 But

01:04:11.860 apparently

01:04:12.980 we're now up to 16

01:04:14.620 under the Biden-Harris.

01:04:16.500 16 nations

01:04:17.620 have faced coups

01:04:18.780 or had governments toppled

01:04:20.180 since Biden's been in office

01:04:23.180 as president.

01:04:25.260 In multiple instances,

01:04:26.620 military protection

01:04:27.420 and escorts

01:04:27.960 were necessary

01:04:28.600 to protect U.S. citizens

01:04:30.060 in Haiti,

01:04:31.360 Sudan,

01:04:32.020 and Afghanistan

01:04:32.680 but their global

01:04:35.160 instability

01:04:35.880 hardly stops there.

01:04:37.540 So,

01:04:38.320 she's also naming

01:04:39.300 Myanmar,

01:04:41.920 Chad,

01:04:42.580 Guinea,

01:04:43.580 Sudan,

01:04:44.200 Mali,

01:04:45.180 Burkina Faso,

01:04:46.500 Niger,

01:04:47.180 Haiti,

01:04:48.080 Tunisia,

01:04:48.760 Sri Lanka,

01:04:49.600 and the Central African Republic,

01:04:51.240 Somalia,

01:04:52.740 Gabon,

01:04:53.880 Guinea,

01:04:54.300 Bisou,

01:04:55.140 Bangladesh,

01:04:55.860 and Venezuela

01:04:56.540 have all had

01:04:57.740 coup efforts

01:04:58.540 or toppled governments.

01:04:59.780 Do you think

01:05:01.340 the United States

01:05:02.740 had anything

01:05:03.260 to do with

01:05:03.800 any of those coups?

01:05:05.840 I think we're

01:05:06.780 assuming so.

01:05:08.600 I think we're

01:05:09.260 assuming so.

01:05:11.760 But I don't know

01:05:12.740 the details.

01:05:17.360 Yeah,

01:05:18.060 so,

01:05:18.380 from Tehran

01:05:19.360 to Caracas,

01:05:20.340 the Biden

01:05:20.660 foreign policy,

01:05:22.120 Biden-Harris foreign policy,

01:05:23.220 has delivered

01:05:24.300 fresh cash infusions

01:05:25.880 to repressive regimes

01:05:27.280 while undercutting

01:05:28.700 America's energy production.

01:05:30.880 Now,

01:05:31.340 that's sort of

01:05:31.920 a big-picture view.

01:05:33.440 So,

01:05:33.800 if you think

01:05:34.460 of the United States

01:05:35.360 as continuously

01:05:36.580 meddling

01:05:37.200 in other countries,

01:05:39.480 you don't really

01:05:40.960 see it all happening

01:05:41.900 at the same time.

01:05:43.740 But when you hear

01:05:44.640 this statistic

01:05:45.440 that 16 embassies

01:05:48.860 had to be evacuated

01:05:50.000 in other countries,

01:05:52.220 that's not looking

01:05:54.360 so good.

01:05:56.780 All right,

01:05:57.500 so,

01:05:58.600 we don't seem

01:06:00.260 to have any

01:06:00.820 real presidential

01:06:02.820 leadership.

01:06:03.640 I don't know

01:06:03.960 who's running things,

01:06:04.840 but it sounds like

01:06:05.480 the people

01:06:07.620 in the State Department

01:06:08.580 or the CIA

01:06:09.660 are just sort of

01:06:10.500 doing their own thing

01:06:11.260 and overthrowing

01:06:12.900 anything they can overthrow.

01:06:16.940 Anyway,

01:06:17.520 there was

01:06:17.860 some kind of

01:06:18.880 attack

01:06:20.080 in Iraq

01:06:21.140 that injured

01:06:21.960 some U.S.

01:06:23.540 personnel.

01:06:25.720 And I don't know

01:06:26.820 if that's part

01:06:28.220 of the beginning

01:06:28.980 of a wave

01:06:29.620 of trouble

01:06:30.140 or a one-off

01:06:31.280 or what,

01:06:32.600 but that's happening.

01:06:34.940 Now,

01:06:35.320 I'll remind you again

01:06:36.300 that here's my take

01:06:39.780 on the whole

01:06:40.280 Israel-Iran situation.

01:06:42.440 I don't think

01:06:46.660 Israel has a choice.

01:06:49.460 I think

01:06:50.140 they have to

01:06:50.580 destroy

01:06:51.120 Hezbollah

01:06:52.200 if they can

01:06:54.080 because Hezbollah

01:06:55.820 will just keep

01:06:56.440 getting stronger.

01:06:57.540 They just keep

01:06:58.040 adding rockets

01:06:58.760 and adding resources

01:07:00.340 and

01:07:01.700 there's going

01:07:03.460 to be war

01:07:03.940 eventually.

01:07:05.480 So,

01:07:06.020 wouldn't they be

01:07:06.480 better

01:07:06.860 mowing the lawn

01:07:08.860 now when they

01:07:09.440 have a chance

01:07:09.960 of knocking

01:07:10.800 it back

01:07:11.300 a little bit?

01:07:12.280 Now,

01:07:12.840 I don't know

01:07:13.580 if they have

01:07:14.020 the military

01:07:14.580 capability

01:07:15.240 to knock

01:07:16.020 enough of

01:07:16.440 the missile

01:07:17.640 launchers

01:07:18.260 out of action

01:07:19.080 before they

01:07:19.720 take too much

01:07:20.680 of Israel down.

01:07:21.760 So,

01:07:22.220 I don't know

01:07:22.520 if it makes

01:07:23.460 sense completely

01:07:24.300 militarily.

01:07:25.420 The only thing

01:07:25.940 that's obvious

01:07:26.600 is there will

01:07:27.900 never be

01:07:28.360 a better time.

01:07:30.100 I don't know

01:07:30.800 if it's a good

01:07:31.660 enough time

01:07:32.380 that they could

01:07:33.860 get what they

01:07:34.320 want at Israel,

01:07:35.300 but when will

01:07:36.640 there ever be

01:07:37.160 a better time

01:07:37.860 because they're

01:07:39.580 under attack

01:07:40.320 so everybody

01:07:40.860 says,

01:07:41.360 okay,

01:07:41.740 it looks like

01:07:42.360 you're not

01:07:42.680 the one

01:07:42.900 who started

01:07:43.380 it.

01:07:44.180 Now,

01:07:44.500 when you're

01:07:45.420 in that part

01:07:45.840 of the country

01:07:46.320 everybody argues

01:07:47.200 about who

01:07:47.600 started it.

01:07:48.680 Well,

01:07:49.060 there wouldn't

01:07:49.340 have been

01:07:49.580 on October 7th

01:07:50.640 if you hadn't

01:07:51.220 done this.

01:07:51.940 Well,

01:07:52.240 we wouldn't

01:07:53.060 have done

01:07:53.360 this if you

01:07:54.000 hadn't done

01:07:54.400 that.

01:07:54.880 So,

01:07:55.240 there's no

01:07:55.540 such thing

01:07:56.040 as who

01:07:56.360 started it.

01:07:57.340 That's the

01:07:57.760 dumbest

01:07:58.080 conversation

01:07:58.700 in the Middle

01:07:59.340 East.

01:08:00.000 Who started

01:08:00.560 it?

01:08:01.680 Everybody

01:08:02.100 started it

01:08:02.860 and everybody

01:08:04.500 is invested

01:08:05.080 on keeping it

01:08:05.840 going apparently

01:08:06.680 forever.

01:08:07.940 So,

01:08:08.780 here we

01:08:09.400 are.

01:08:10.600 So,

01:08:11.380 I don't

01:08:12.060 think that

01:08:12.500 Israel will

01:08:13.020 ever have

01:08:13.540 a situation

01:08:15.760 where

01:08:16.460 reasonable

01:08:17.960 people will

01:08:18.620 say,

01:08:19.100 yeah,

01:08:19.340 you really

01:08:19.760 did have

01:08:20.200 to do

01:08:20.500 something

01:08:20.820 in that

01:08:21.160 situation.

01:08:22.720 And,

01:08:23.300 they're already

01:08:24.240 geared up

01:08:24.820 so they

01:08:25.160 don't have

01:08:25.480 to,

01:08:25.860 you know,

01:08:26.980 make war

01:08:27.800 a new

01:08:29.140 idea.

01:08:29.800 They just

01:08:30.200 have to

01:08:30.520 expand it

01:08:31.120 quite a

01:08:31.820 bit.

01:08:34.580 And,

01:08:35.160 I think

01:08:35.360 Netanyahu

01:08:35.900 wants to

01:08:37.220 stay in

01:08:37.540 office and

01:08:38.200 some say

01:08:38.740 that as

01:08:39.120 soon as he

01:08:39.580 winds things

01:08:40.160 down in

01:08:40.520 Gaza,

01:08:41.000 he'll be

01:08:41.320 removed from

01:08:41.840 office because

01:08:42.420 he's not

01:08:42.740 popular.

01:08:43.760 So,

01:08:44.080 maybe that

01:08:44.520 has something

01:08:44.840 to do

01:08:45.140 with it.

01:08:46.260 But,

01:08:46.680 even if

01:08:47.180 Netanyahu

01:08:47.800 didn't have

01:08:48.300 personal

01:08:48.980 political

01:08:50.020 incentives,

01:08:51.060 when would

01:08:53.080 be a

01:08:53.360 better time

01:08:53.780 to take

01:08:54.140 care of

01:08:54.360 this

01:08:54.500 problem?

01:08:55.380 They

01:08:55.500 can't let

01:08:56.260 Hezbollah

01:08:56.680 just keep

01:08:57.160 growing and

01:08:58.480 having more

01:08:58.960 and more

01:08:59.180 military power

01:09:00.220 just aimed

01:09:00.940 exclusively at

01:09:01.960 Israel.

01:09:03.260 So,

01:09:03.640 to me,

01:09:04.340 it seems like

01:09:04.860 there's no

01:09:05.320 way around

01:09:05.780 it.

01:09:07.040 I think it's

01:09:07.880 guaranteed.

01:09:09.200 What do you

01:09:09.800 think?

01:09:11.540 And,

01:09:12.020 you could argue

01:09:12.620 that America

01:09:13.620 doesn't have a

01:09:14.320 strong president

01:09:15.240 at the moment

01:09:15.820 to put

01:09:17.360 any kind

01:09:17.760 of guard

01:09:18.100 rails on

01:09:18.580 there.

01:09:20.440 So,

01:09:21.240 it looks to

01:09:21.840 me like

01:09:22.560 war is

01:09:23.160 guaranteed,

01:09:24.320 but I think

01:09:25.140 Iran is

01:09:25.900 trying to

01:09:26.400 make sure

01:09:26.880 that whatever

01:09:27.400 they do

01:09:28.060 isn't big

01:09:29.220 enough to

01:09:30.500 give Israel

01:09:31.220 a full green

01:09:32.040 light to do

01:09:32.620 everything they

01:09:33.380 want to do.

01:09:34.520 And,

01:09:34.740 when I say

01:09:35.060 everything they

01:09:35.660 want to do,

01:09:36.160 I'm talking

01:09:36.500 about just

01:09:36.980 taking care of

01:09:38.700 Hezbollah

01:09:39.420 once and

01:09:39.920 for all.

01:09:41.920 Although,

01:09:42.460 you couldn't

01:09:42.760 really finish

01:09:43.280 them off,

01:09:43.760 but you could

01:09:44.180 degrade them

01:09:45.220 and knock

01:09:45.560 them back.

01:09:46.360 You can

01:09:46.900 knock them

01:09:47.260 back 10

01:09:47.740 years,

01:09:48.100 maybe.

01:09:50.140 All right.

01:09:51.380 So,

01:09:51.860 Scott,

01:09:52.240 do you

01:09:52.540 support

01:09:52.940 Sharia?

01:09:55.280 Mary,

01:09:55.920 do you

01:09:56.320 have only

01:09:56.820 dumb

01:09:57.080 questions?

01:09:58.740 Do you

01:09:59.060 have any

01:09:59.340 more dumb

01:09:59.720 questions?

01:10:01.980 Think of

01:10:02.540 a better

01:10:02.920 question and

01:10:03.600 come back

01:10:03.960 to me.

01:10:08.280 They could

01:10:08.840 take the

01:10:09.180 British plan

01:10:09.840 and let

01:10:10.500 themselves be

01:10:11.200 destroyed

01:10:11.760 passively.

01:10:13.500 Yeah.

01:10:14.500 Yeah,

01:10:14.900 they could

01:10:15.500 let themselves

01:10:16.000 be destroyed

01:10:16.660 in a variety

01:10:17.440 of ways.

01:10:18.700 But I

01:10:18.940 don't think

01:10:19.240 Israel wants

01:10:19.840 to be

01:10:20.100 destroyed,

01:10:20.680 so I

01:10:21.020 would expect

01:10:21.560 full-out

01:10:22.220 war and

01:10:23.620 we'll see

01:10:24.300 what happens.

01:10:25.900 There's no

01:10:26.500 way around it,

01:10:27.140 is there?

01:10:28.340 How many of

01:10:28.820 you think that

01:10:29.380 there will not

01:10:30.020 be full-out

01:10:30.720 war with

01:10:31.240 Hezbollah,

01:10:32.760 which basically

01:10:33.620 is, you

01:10:34.400 know,

01:10:34.540 Iran proxy?

01:10:36.240 I think it's

01:10:36.980 guaranteed.

01:10:37.340 Iran has a

01:10:42.040 problem in

01:10:42.840 which they

01:10:43.120 have to do

01:10:43.540 something,

01:10:44.340 but not

01:10:44.920 something so

01:10:45.720 big that

01:10:47.160 Israel will

01:10:47.820 have a free

01:10:48.360 pass to do

01:10:49.080 anything they

01:10:49.960 want.

01:10:51.080 And I think

01:10:51.540 they can't hit

01:10:52.600 that mark,

01:10:53.380 which is why

01:10:54.040 it's taking so

01:10:54.720 long.

01:10:55.380 I think Iran

01:10:56.000 has a big

01:10:56.980 conversation

01:10:57.640 internally.

01:10:58.740 It's like,

01:10:59.180 yeah, we do

01:11:01.020 want to maybe

01:11:02.160 punch them in

01:11:03.140 the nose,

01:11:03.680 but if their

01:11:04.500 nose bleeds,

01:11:05.540 they're going

01:11:06.480 to kill all

01:11:07.000 of us.

01:11:08.420 So there's

01:11:09.640 no way for

01:11:10.520 Iran to win

01:11:11.180 this, I

01:11:11.500 don't think.

01:11:13.960 Here's a

01:11:14.700 weird stat

01:11:15.480 in a

01:11:15.920 completely

01:11:16.300 different

01:11:16.800 topic.

01:11:18.420 74% of

01:11:19.460 Ohio police

01:11:20.220 officers report

01:11:21.200 having head

01:11:21.860 injuries.

01:11:22.920 30% of that

01:11:24.160 happened on

01:11:24.640 the job.

01:11:26.520 74% of the

01:11:27.740 police have

01:11:28.140 head injuries?

01:11:30.500 Would that

01:11:31.240 be true of

01:11:32.020 just any

01:11:32.640 group of

01:11:33.240 people?

01:11:34.500 Head

01:11:34.740 injuries are

01:11:35.400 like a

01:11:35.800 way bigger

01:11:36.300 deal than

01:11:37.520 we make

01:11:37.940 of them?

01:11:38.340 Because I

01:11:38.680 think a lot

01:11:39.060 of personalities

01:11:39.600 get changed

01:11:40.280 by head

01:11:40.660 injuries.

01:11:41.960 I've seen

01:11:42.540 it happen

01:11:42.860 in my

01:11:43.160 own life.

01:11:45.860 Anyway,

01:11:46.560 I'm not

01:11:47.220 sure I

01:11:47.500 believe that

01:11:47.940 statistic,

01:11:48.620 but that's

01:11:48.900 pretty alarming.

01:11:51.780 OpenAI has

01:11:52.740 some software

01:11:53.460 that allegedly

01:11:54.520 could detect

01:11:55.420 AI writing

01:11:57.380 with almost

01:11:58.460 perfect

01:11:58.920 accuracy,

01:12:00.160 99.9.

01:12:02.140 So you're

01:12:02.780 saying to

01:12:03.120 yourself,

01:12:03.480 oh, that's

01:12:03.900 good.

01:12:04.120 so we'll

01:12:05.240 be able

01:12:05.520 to tell

01:12:06.040 AI writing

01:12:07.920 from regular

01:12:08.560 writing.

01:12:09.880 Nope, they're

01:12:10.780 not going to

01:12:11.180 release it.

01:12:13.320 Do you know

01:12:14.020 why they

01:12:14.300 might not

01:12:14.680 release it?

01:12:17.140 Well, it

01:12:18.680 turns out

01:12:19.140 that the

01:12:20.040 people who

01:12:20.520 use AI

01:12:21.280 and also

01:12:22.040 use it to

01:12:22.600 help them

01:12:22.940 write don't

01:12:24.380 want to be

01:12:25.000 spotted as

01:12:26.180 having used

01:12:26.860 AI to write.

01:12:27.720 content.

01:12:28.840 So the

01:12:29.240 people who

01:12:29.700 produce content

01:12:30.940 really don't

01:12:32.060 want to

01:12:32.580 see their

01:12:34.380 writing being

01:12:35.080 identified.

01:12:36.540 And the

01:12:36.860 people who

01:12:37.640 see the

01:12:39.480 content would

01:12:40.360 rather be

01:12:40.940 identified.

01:12:42.680 So at the

01:12:43.080 moment,

01:12:43.840 OpenAI has a

01:12:44.780 problem because

01:12:45.540 the producers

01:12:46.220 of content

01:12:47.120 won't use

01:12:48.560 their products

01:12:49.280 if it's

01:12:50.320 going to

01:12:50.560 ID them

01:12:51.160 as using

01:12:52.140 their products.

01:12:52.760 So that's

01:12:55.560 interesting.

01:12:56.380 I feel like

01:12:57.240 we'll just

01:12:58.140 get used to

01:12:58.840 AI writing

01:12:59.520 and that we

01:13:01.600 won't care if

01:13:02.300 AI wrote the

01:13:03.000 whole thing.

01:13:04.600 I think it's

01:13:05.440 just a short

01:13:07.200 period of time

01:13:08.160 where we think

01:13:09.600 that matters.

01:13:11.160 But if there's

01:13:11.980 a human being

01:13:12.660 who pushed the

01:13:13.300 button to send

01:13:13.900 the message,

01:13:15.280 it's fine with

01:13:16.240 the human being.

01:13:17.480 Do you really

01:13:17.940 care if the

01:13:18.360 human wrote it

01:13:19.080 or if a

01:13:19.840 computer wrote it

01:13:20.620 and the human

01:13:21.120 said, yeah,

01:13:21.500 that looks good?

01:13:22.760 What's the

01:13:23.180 difference?

01:13:25.020 I don't know.

01:13:28.440 Yeah,

01:13:28.960 eventually it

01:13:29.680 will be

01:13:29.940 de-stigmatized.

01:13:31.680 And I think

01:13:32.060 eventually it

01:13:32.600 could be next

01:13:33.360 year.

01:13:33.880 I mean,

01:13:34.080 it's not

01:13:34.360 going to take

01:13:34.660 long to

01:13:35.120 de-stigmatize

01:13:35.940 that once

01:13:36.380 everybody's

01:13:36.900 doing it.

01:13:39.100 All right.

01:13:40.980 So that,

01:13:41.920 ladies and

01:13:42.480 gentlemen,

01:13:43.760 was all

01:13:45.280 that's

01:13:45.460 happening

01:13:45.740 today.

01:13:52.120 Wow.

01:13:52.760 I'm seeing

01:13:54.860 some bad

01:13:55.800 news in

01:13:56.300 the comments,

01:13:57.940 people

01:13:58.900 personally.

01:14:00.760 All right.

01:14:04.580 Is there

01:14:05.120 any story I

01:14:05.660 missed today?

01:14:07.700 So we

01:14:08.260 don't know

01:14:08.580 too much

01:14:08.980 about the

01:14:09.480 vice

01:14:09.780 president yet,

01:14:10.940 but we'll

01:14:11.440 find out.

01:14:16.840 Don't care

01:14:17.480 what human

01:14:17.900 use a

01:14:18.300 calculator.

01:14:18.840 Yeah,

01:14:19.000 we don't

01:14:19.240 care if a

01:14:19.820 human used

01:14:20.300 a calculator

01:14:21.020 to figure

01:14:22.640 out what

01:14:22.980 something

01:14:23.280 costs.

01:14:24.640 Yeah,

01:14:24.820 it's

01:14:25.020 exactly

01:14:25.380 like

01:14:25.660 that.

01:14:32.440 More than

01:14:33.160 a real

01:14:33.460 demon.

01:14:34.040 Yeah.

01:14:36.080 All right.

01:14:37.120 Ladies and

01:14:37.920 gentlemen,

01:14:38.240 if you're

01:14:43.380 not following

01:14:43.960 the

01:14:44.340 Dilbert

01:14:44.980 Reborn

01:14:45.440 comic that

01:14:46.060 you can

01:14:46.340 only see

01:14:46.760 now on

01:14:47.340 the X

01:14:47.900 platform by

01:14:48.920 subscription,

01:14:50.200 see my

01:14:50.580 profile,

01:14:51.340 or the

01:14:52.900 locals

01:14:53.300 platform,

01:14:54.060 which has

01:14:54.500 more than

01:14:54.880 the comic,

01:14:56.340 you would

01:14:56.920 not know

01:14:57.300 that Dilbert

01:14:57.860 will soon

01:14:58.460 be writing

01:14:59.480 some software

01:15:00.220 for a

01:15:01.880 Boeing-like

01:15:03.540 trip to

01:15:07.900 the space

01:15:09.180 station.

01:15:10.740 And it's

01:15:12.340 such a

01:15:12.660 perfect

01:15:12.940 Dilbert

01:15:13.300 situation.

01:15:14.300 It writes

01:15:14.740 the whole

01:15:15.000 week.

01:15:16.340 Yeah,

01:15:16.560 I'm just

01:15:16.880 going to

01:15:17.060 have somebody

01:15:17.960 say,

01:15:18.300 you know,

01:15:18.520 the software

01:15:18.900 is not

01:15:19.240 done,

01:15:19.880 but you

01:15:20.520 know,

01:15:21.100 we really

01:15:21.580 have to

01:15:21.900 hit this

01:15:22.200 window.

01:15:22.820 But you

01:15:23.080 know,

01:15:23.200 the software

01:15:23.580 is not

01:15:23.900 done.

01:15:24.800 Yeah,

01:15:25.080 but we

01:15:25.340 have to

01:15:25.580 hit this

01:15:25.900 window.

01:15:27.580 A real

01:15:28.220 life situation.

01:15:29.520 All right,

01:15:29.800 that's all
