00:00:00.240 Parallel pleasure, the dopamine, the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:04.440 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen now. Go!
00:00:11.840 Oh, that is truly delightful.
00:00:15.560 I can feel every organ in my body, body, everything in my body.
00:00:20.840 It's starting to come online, finally.
00:00:23.000 Well, the X platform is testing a new video conferencing tool, says TechCrunch.
00:00:31.940 So when Musk says that X is going to do everything, he's pretty serious about that,
00:00:39.840 which is fascinating because X could end up being his most valuable property.
00:00:45.080 It's a long game, but imagine if you could go to X, you could do your payments.
00:00:50.440 He's going to do that, so you can pay people.
00:00:53.000 You can communicate.
00:00:54.420 You can call them, you know, without using the phone company.
00:00:57.740 You've got encryption, although we don't trust encryption.
00:01:01.520 You have video conferencing.
00:01:06.780 I feel like Musk has a few advantages.
00:01:12.320 One of them is that he's a sort of a late follower for these, but he's highly qualified.
00:01:19.980 You know, assuming his engineers are well qualified.
00:01:23.000 So that if you come in late to any of these businesses, you can look at all the things
00:01:27.560 they've done and just clone it.
00:01:29.920 So he doesn't have to be, you know, better at Zoom.
00:01:33.760 He just has to also offer it.
00:01:36.220 He doesn't need to be better at payments.
00:01:38.960 He just has to also offer it because it's, you know, once you're in X, you're just going
00:01:44.340 to use X.
00:01:45.340 So his strategy for basically owning all of those businesses simply because people were
00:01:51.360 already on X is pretty strong.
00:01:55.100 It's a pretty strong argument.
00:01:57.800 Anyway, there's a competitor to the Neuralink chip.
00:02:01.400 You know, the one that gets inserted in your skull and they put little wires into your brain.
00:02:07.140 Well, according to New Atlas, there's a different version that's more, the smaller and more minimally
00:02:15.140 invasive.
00:02:16.600 So in Switzerland, they're testing it.
00:02:18.520 But this one doesn't have wires into your brain.
00:02:21.920 Instead, it learns what patterns of electrical signals your brain gives off under different
00:02:28.540 conditions.
00:02:29.520 And then it trains itself on you.
00:02:32.020 So it's just reading your electrical signals in your brain without any wires.
00:02:36.500 So it's not actually connected.
00:02:38.420 Now, I've seen this technology before, maybe years ago.
00:02:42.260 I actually tested one where you put a little strap on your head and it could sort of read
00:02:47.680 your brain, but it didn't work at all back then.
00:02:50.200 The one I used just didn't work.
00:02:53.120 And but imagine if you could, it says 91% accuracy in determining the text you're trying to write
00:03:01.400 with your mind.
00:03:02.840 I don't think 91% is going to get you there.
00:03:06.180 So probably you're going to need the Neuralink model to really do the good stuff.
00:03:10.840 But you might have this minimally invasive thing that doesn't have to be drilled so far
00:03:16.140 into your brain.
00:03:16.840 It's really thin and small.
00:03:20.000 Well, according to climate realism, Bloomberg is reporting that there are record crops coming
00:03:28.100 in.
00:03:29.340 So all over the world, there are record crops.
00:03:32.540 Do you know why the crops are so good?
00:03:35.680 Well, some of it is because of climate change.
00:03:40.840 Or to put it a different way, some of it is because of higher CO2, which is good for plants.
00:03:50.000 So one of the lesser recognized aspects of climate change is it's really good for farming
00:03:57.680 and it should bring down your food costs.
00:04:00.700 So the more CO2 you can pump into the air, the less you'll pay at the grocery store.
00:04:05.700 I mean, in theory, I don't know if that actually is going to be the case, but in theory.
00:04:09.960 So I'm not saying that's good or bad.
00:04:13.980 I'm just saying it's happening.
00:04:15.620 And the good news is farming looks pretty strong around the world.
00:04:20.860 Well, the Biden-Harris administration, according to the Washington Free Beacon, when children
00:04:30.360 are taught about climate change, they're taught that on NASA's environmental page for children,
00:04:39.880 lots of fun and games and films and stuff, but it warns them that the world is undergoing
00:04:47.320 cataclysmic warming, sea levels are rising, global ice coverage is diminishing, and their
00:04:54.640 future may be doomed.
00:04:55.840 Now, I don't think that's true, but imagine you're a young person and you go through a
00:05:05.040 school system that tells you that the climate is doomed and nobody's really working to fix
00:05:12.000 it.
00:05:13.200 Now, people are working to fix it all over the place.
00:05:16.240 I'll talk more about that.
00:05:17.780 But imagine you're a kid.
00:05:19.280 And then, let's say you graduate from that system, and then you find yourself a girlfriend.
00:05:28.080 Are the two of you going to be thinking about having children and bringing them into this
00:05:32.540 world that's already been destroyed and we're just waiting for the doom in the end?
00:05:38.140 I don't know why you would have children if you believed that climate change was going
00:05:43.340 to doom them to floods.
00:05:46.560 Anyway.
00:05:49.280 The What's Up With That webpage or entity, I think Watt is the name of the person, W-A-T-T.
00:05:58.860 Apparently, there's reportedly sea levels are plunging in temperatures in an unexpected way.
00:06:06.520 Now, it's unexpected because the temperature is supposed to be going up, and it's embarrassingly
00:06:12.960 unexpected because for the years prior to that, the headlines were claiming
00:06:19.060 the sea was boiling, that the ocean was warming up so much and so quickly that it could only
00:06:26.220 be climate change, and we're all doomed.
00:06:30.020 And then, with additional CO2 in the air, the ocean started, allegedly, cooling down for
00:06:38.100 a couple years in a row.
00:06:39.120 And there's no way to explain it, because the current models say, hmm, that can't really happen.
00:06:44.620 Now, I get that any given year can be a fluctuation.
00:06:48.220 But if it's true that they said, hmm, a few years of warming means climate change,
00:06:53.000 then a few years of cooling means what?
00:06:57.460 Well, either they both mean nothing, or they both mean something, and you can't explain it.
00:07:02.840 Remember I told you that all data about important things is fake?
00:07:08.900 All data about important things is fake.
00:07:14.560 Anyway, my takeaway from this is it's difficult to have a conversation with anyone who believes
00:07:22.260 any one of these two things.
00:07:23.760 If you believe any of these two things, I don't think I could have a real conversation
00:07:29.140 with you.
00:07:30.420 Number one, the news is real.
00:07:33.920 If you believe that the news business is even trying to be real, like even in their own minds,
00:07:40.920 trying to be real, if you believe that, I can't really have a conversation with you.
00:07:47.540 We would have to solve that part first.
00:07:50.160 If we could get on the same page where, you know, inexplicably somebody could convince
00:07:55.060 me the news is real, or inexplicably I could convince them it's not, well, then we could
00:08:00.520 have a conversation.
00:08:02.340 Likewise, if I meet somebody who believes that scientists can accurately measure the temperature
00:08:09.120 of the earth and all of the ocean, as well as the air, and then predict it into the future,
00:08:17.200 I can't really have a conversation with that person.
00:08:20.160 Because they don't know how anything works in the real world.
00:08:24.440 In the real world, it's obviously true you can't do this.
00:08:28.060 It's really, really super obvious to people who have enough experience operating in the
00:08:33.420 real world and know that all corporate and government stuff is bullshit.
00:08:38.120 So, no, you can't measure it accurately enough.
00:08:41.340 It's accurately enough is the important part.
00:08:43.940 No, it's not something humans can do.
00:08:46.640 Now, if you tell me, but Scott, you don't understand how good our technology is.
00:08:51.560 I'm not talking about the technology.
00:08:54.360 I'm talking about it being implemented by human beings and being really complicated and lots
00:09:00.080 of moving parts and too many variables and assumptions.
00:09:04.340 No, humans can't measure the temperature of the earth.
00:09:06.840 I don't know if we ever will be able to, but we definitely can't do it now.
00:09:12.440 And if you've bought into the notion that humans have that capability, again, I'm separating
00:09:18.920 from the kind of thermometer telling you the temperature.
00:09:22.740 Yeah, I probably can.
00:09:23.440 But they're really different than being able to accurately measure the temperature of the
00:09:29.940 earth and all the parts of the matter.
00:09:33.260 So, no, I can't have any conversation with anybody who believes that that's a possible
00:09:37.100 thing.
00:09:39.440 Well, here's the good news, though.
00:09:41.120 Popular Mechanics says that there's so much energy in the ocean that it's like the world's
00:09:45.540 biggest battery.
00:09:46.200 So, if you could put a generator in the ocean that's got a lot of movement, especially up
00:09:53.380 and down, the up and down can move some floaty thing up and down that will cause a generator
00:09:59.100 to produce electricity.
00:10:01.300 I'm not sure I completely buy into the ocean being a viable source because the ocean is so
00:10:09.120 violent.
00:10:10.360 You know, it moves a lot.
00:10:11.820 It feels like it would just rip apart any mechanical thing too quickly.
00:10:17.520 Sort of the same problem that windmills have.
00:10:20.800 You know, windmill is great if you had, you know, some perfect level of wind all the time.
00:10:25.820 But if it's like sometimes really heavy and sometimes not, you know, that's a lot of pressure
00:10:31.360 to put on a mechanical device.
00:10:33.660 So, I'm not sure that we can make that happen.
00:10:36.240 But it turns out that off the coast of Oregon, there's a big test to see if they can really
00:10:42.700 generate some meaningful electricity in a practical way.
00:10:47.580 But here's my takeaway.
00:10:49.820 Suppose they can.
00:10:51.640 Suppose they figure out a way that they can just use the oceans up and down to make like
00:10:57.420 really good electricity that's dependable.
00:10:59.880 The interesting part is that's probably all you need to make sea cities, right?
00:11:07.340 And now, arguably, you could use batteries and you could use solar and you could have
00:11:12.460 electricity that way in your little city that you've built on the ocean.
00:11:18.300 But I would much rather have some kind of pumps that work with the ocean itself in case
00:11:23.440 it's a cloudy day.
00:11:24.400 So, this might open up the entire ocean to, you know, some serious populating.
00:11:31.700 Maybe.
00:11:34.000 Did you know that the U.S. grid is adding just tons of batteries and solar and stuff like
00:11:40.500 that, according to Ars Technica?
00:11:43.380 You don't need the details, but wind, solar, and batteries are being just installed at a
00:11:49.640 crazy pace now.
00:11:50.540 So, just in case you weren't paying attention, all of the green energy stuff is really coming
00:11:57.760 online.
00:11:58.900 You know, I think green is one of those things that would be nothing for 80 years until it's
00:12:03.520 everything.
00:12:04.960 So, we might be, you know, entering the beginning of the everything phase.
00:12:10.080 How many years have solar panels been invented?
00:12:17.080 It's a long time, right?
00:12:18.580 Because I remember when I was maybe 12 years old, I bought a little science kit that had
00:12:24.280 a little solar panel in it.
00:12:27.200 So, you know, we're talking 50 years ago.
00:12:30.640 You could buy it as a toy.
00:12:33.200 So, I think my estimates may be right.
00:12:36.700 Maybe 80 years after solar panels are invented, they might take off.
00:12:42.100 And that wouldn't even be that surprising, 80 years after the invention of the solar panel.
00:12:48.260 So, we'll see.
00:12:50.700 All right, let's talk about our press.
00:12:54.500 Remember that press that some people think is real?
00:12:58.220 All right.
00:13:00.720 Politico got community noted on X.
00:13:03.280 So, here's what Politico said in the headline on X platform, talking about their own article.
00:13:13.380 They said, quote, Vance tries to tether Harris to Biden during the Michigan rally.
00:13:18.420 So, VP candidate Vance is trying to say that Kamala Harris is somehow tethered to the current administration.
00:13:32.000 I mean, how can Politico, you know, I mean, it's quite a good fact check.
00:13:38.460 Because Kamala Harris isn't tethered to anything.
00:13:44.600 Well, the community note said, and I quote, Harris is currently President Biden's Vice President.
00:13:51.020 So, the community note had to remind Politico that Vice President Harris is the Vice President.
00:13:59.580 Oh, my goodness.
00:14:01.840 That's right.
00:14:02.980 Yeah, Vance is trying to tether her to the Harris-Biden administration.
00:14:09.280 As Molly Hemingway pointed out, the funniest part is that the community note provided a source.
00:14:16.160 Because the notes like to provide sources.
00:14:19.240 And the source was the White House, the White House page that shows who's the Vice President of the United States.
00:14:25.060 That was the fact check on Politico.
00:14:27.560 It's telling him who the Vice President is.
00:14:32.200 Anyway, Joe Rogan is not too happy about MSNBC.
00:14:36.400 Apparently, they took some words of his that he said about Tulsi Gabbard, and they spliced it.
00:14:45.580 So, it looked like Joe Rogan was saying good things about Kamala Harris.
00:14:48.880 Now, how much more corrupt can you be than literally changing the person he was talking about?
00:14:56.800 That's super corrupt.
00:14:59.040 But, Rogan's all over that.
00:15:01.500 How about Zero Hedge?
00:15:05.820 Zero Hedge is one of my favorite sources.
00:15:09.500 I'm not saying anything about accuracy.
00:15:12.020 But, they have lots of stories that interest me.
00:15:16.340 So, Zero Hedge has this story today that Warren Buffett sold $982 million of his stock in Bank of America.
00:15:26.780 So, that's the headline, just by itself.
00:15:30.760 Warren Buffett sells nearly a billion dollars of Bank of America shares.
00:15:36.740 So, what's your takeaway from that?
00:15:39.340 Well, if you read that by itself, your takeaway would be, oh my goodness, Warren Buffett thinks Bank of America is no longer a good investment.
00:15:47.340 What's wrong with the information that I just gave you, that Warren Buffett is going to sell nearly a billion dollars of Bank of America shares?
00:16:01.500 Well, what you should say is, how much does he own?
00:16:07.400 Remember, if you only see the percentage in the story, it's trying to mislead you.
00:16:13.480 If you only see the raw number without the percentage, it's trying to mislead you.
00:16:19.780 The one and only thing that you could see as potentially real news, and even then it's the only potential, is if they tell you the number and the percentage.
00:16:31.600 What would you guess would be the percentage if it's big enough to be a story?
00:16:37.760 If they're making it a headline story, don't you assume it's a pretty big percentage?
00:16:43.480 Well, it's maybe a quarter.
00:16:46.180 I think it was around a quarter.
00:16:48.000 Now, a quarter is a big percentage, but it's not telling you he doesn't like the stock.
00:16:53.900 If he kept selling another quarter, another quarter, then maybe yes.
00:16:57.980 But it's far more indicative that he just has something else he wants the money for, or that he took enough profits, or it's too much of a percentage of his total portfolio.
00:17:08.120 He also took money out of Apple.
00:17:09.760 Is that because he doesn't like Apple?
00:17:14.500 Maybe.
00:17:16.060 But you could say it's just equally because Apple went up so much, he didn't want that much of his total portfolio to be in one company, so he trimmed some off.
00:17:25.620 So if you don't know sort of the background about why he's doing it, what the number is, you haven't learned anything.
00:17:31.920 So you need to get that number.
00:17:33.140 Time Magazine has a headline.
00:17:36.100 I haven't read the story, but the headline for an opinion piece, I think, is, what if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?
00:17:44.220 Okay.
00:17:44.700 I don't know anything about who wrote it or why they wrote it, but do you trust the media at all, presumably who have connections to the food industry, because, you know, everything big is connected to everything else, maybe with advertisers, maybe not, I don't know.
00:18:03.160 But do you trust the story that says, what if ultra-processed foods aren't as bad as you think?
00:18:09.660 I do not.
00:18:11.440 To me, that looks like, I don't think I'm going to read that, because first of all, they don't have an answer.
00:18:16.600 They're saying, what if?
00:18:18.140 If they had an answer to the question, they'd say, news research shows ultra-processed foods are good for you.
00:18:25.540 So if they don't have an answer for it, they're just trying to maybe make you less afraid, why would they do that?
00:18:34.280 Well, I don't know.
00:18:35.340 Do they have some connection to that industry?
00:18:37.440 Those are the questions you'd ask.
00:18:38.840 I don't know the answer to those.
00:18:40.660 I'm just saying that I wouldn't trust this story enough to even read it.
00:18:46.080 From the headline alone, I go, ah, pass.
00:18:50.220 There's no credibility in a story like that in a place like our media.
00:18:55.540 It doesn't mean it's false, and it doesn't mean anybody's lying.
00:19:01.020 I'm just saying, as a consumer, you certainly can't trust it.
00:19:06.200 But that's just the press.
00:19:08.220 Sure, we know the press is bad, but what about social media?
00:19:12.620 Well, according to an account called Disinformation Expert Lizzie on X,
00:19:18.700 Google now has an option for your news searches,
00:19:21.820 so you can search if you're looking for left-leaning bias or right-leaning bias.
00:19:29.080 They don't call it bias.
00:19:30.080 They would just say right-leaning news and left-leaning news.
00:19:33.240 So what would happen if you clicked on the right-leaning news?
00:19:37.360 Now, that's interesting, isn't it?
00:19:39.200 Because that means that Google would be deciding which entities of right-leaning news are the good ones.
00:19:48.060 So what comes up first?
00:19:50.120 Well, according to Disinformation Expert Lizzie,
00:19:54.900 you would see...
00:19:56.200 Let's see, you'd see The Dispatch.
00:20:03.740 You'd see RT International.
00:20:06.160 That's literally the Russian publication.
00:20:09.900 And that's what you'd see first.
00:20:12.240 But you'd have to look a little further to find the Daily Caller, Breitbart, Federalist,
00:20:17.300 Just the News, or the Post Millennium.
00:20:20.120 And some, you know, more, let's say, right-leaning, right-leaning sources.
00:20:27.560 So Google has found a way to show you what you want to show, what you want to see,
00:20:35.220 while not showing you what you want to see.
00:20:39.700 Do you think that the people who programmed this didn't know which sources
00:20:44.920 people on the right consider credible?
00:20:47.820 Or are they just telling you you should see the Russia Today source is more credible
00:20:54.700 than, let's say, the Federalists?
00:20:58.120 Really?
00:21:00.320 This is so obviously finger-on-the-scale.
00:21:03.120 It's just...
00:21:03.820 I don't even know what to say about it.
00:21:05.440 It's just so obviously wrong.
00:21:09.000 But the bad behavior is so universal, it's hard to get mad at anything anymore.
00:21:14.200 I mean, you can get mad at it, but there's just so many outrages,
00:21:19.320 you don't know where to focus your power.

00:22:23.180 All right, I saw yet another one of these interviews on the streets
00:22:28.080 where people were asked if they were supporters of Kamala Harris,
00:22:32.600 asked, can you name her accomplishments?
00:22:36.020 Now, it's some kind of a trick question
00:22:37.880 because vice presidents are not noted for accomplishments.
00:22:42.520 So if you're a casual viewer of news,
00:22:45.700 it's going to be a hard question to answer,
00:22:48.140 even if you're a supporter.
00:22:49.600 But it turns out that the people trying to answer
00:22:52.100 say stuff like, well, she's, well, I just,
00:22:57.160 I just, well, you know, I'm comfortable having a woman of color.
00:23:01.540 So they kind of default to the fact that they don't know anything
00:23:05.700 about her policies or anything about her accomplishments,
00:23:08.860 but they still prefer because of her identity.
00:23:13.540 And the people on the street, their supporters,
00:23:15.960 will say that directly and very clearly say
00:23:18.900 they don't know anything about policies or accomplishments.
00:23:20.800 Just, it's time for a person who's a woman and a person of color.
00:23:29.800 To me, it seems like, you know,
00:23:33.220 the model I love is the Trump pirate ship,
00:23:36.700 you know, with the people who used to be Democrats,
00:23:38.900 people who used to be non-political,
00:23:41.360 you know, all the unusual characters,
00:23:44.320 but in many cases, very effective, like a pirate ship.
00:23:48.880 You know, the pirate ship is good at pirating,
00:23:51.360 you know, good at doing what it does.
00:23:53.320 So I feel like the Trump pirate ship
00:23:56.180 has to rescue the brainwashed maidens.
00:23:59.220 It's starting to form like a movie in my head
00:24:01.500 where there's this mass brainwashing of primarily women,
00:24:07.260 at least in the Democrat party.
00:24:09.300 They seem to have the power.
00:24:10.800 And the women have been convinced
00:24:13.160 that they don't need to know about the policies
00:24:15.180 or any details about politics at all.
00:24:18.880 They can kind of just look at the identity
00:24:20.600 of the person running and that's good.
00:24:22.820 And then they can hear all the hoaxes about Trump.
00:24:26.020 And they say, well,
00:24:27.160 if all of these things about Trump are true,
00:24:30.260 all I need is anybody else.
00:24:32.300 And if I'm going to have anybody else,
00:24:34.100 I'd rather have somebody who's got that identity that I like.
00:24:37.920 So it feels like really the pirate ship
00:24:40.960 needs to rescue the brainwashed maidens.
00:24:43.160 That's the movie I'm seeing in my head.
00:24:46.220 Ben Shapiro points out that Harris has allegedly
00:24:50.340 reversed her 2020 positions on all of these things.
00:24:55.840 Decriminalizing border crossings,
00:24:58.180 the border wall itself,
00:25:00.940 abolishing private health insurance.
00:25:02.780 So these are things she no longer believes,
00:25:04.540 but used to.
00:25:05.000 EV mandates that you have to have an electric car at some point.
00:25:11.680 Banning fracking, no longer in favor of that,
00:25:14.460 and opposing more police.
00:25:15.800 And now she says maybe more police would be a good idea.
00:25:19.000 One, two, three, four, five, six.
00:25:21.080 That would be six pretty important policies
00:25:24.540 that none of her,
00:25:27.760 I don't think any of her followers have any idea
00:25:30.780 what her positions are in these.
00:25:32.220 And I'm not sure I do.
00:25:34.600 Because there are alleged changes.
00:25:37.740 So some of them I know.
00:25:39.120 I mean,
00:25:39.360 she does seem to be at least a little bit in favor of,
00:25:42.220 yeah,
00:25:42.340 I think I know most of these are actual switches.
00:25:47.520 So the one thing that's very obvious
00:25:52.260 is that voters and their opinions
00:25:55.060 are not going to have a lot to do with the election.
00:25:58.600 Because whatever it is that voters are thinking
00:26:01.100 as their priority for why they're voting,
00:26:03.360 that's purely brainwashing.
00:26:06.060 Just purely brainwashing.
00:26:08.520 The thought that voters do their own research
00:26:12.100 and come up with their excellent opinions
00:26:15.760 and then vote on it.
00:26:17.020 There's nothing like that happening.
00:26:19.240 Because first of all,
00:26:19.940 there's no data that's believable.
00:26:23.680 Secondly,
00:26:24.260 people aren't even trying.
00:26:26.040 Now when I say people are not trying,
00:26:27.560 I'm talking about 80 to 90% of the public.
00:26:30.660 And it would be true on both sides.
00:26:32.400 But what's true on the Republican side
00:26:34.780 is if you ask any Republican
00:26:37.500 what Trump thinks on
00:26:40.100 any of the top 20 issues,
00:26:45.160 I'll bet you you would have something
00:26:47.180 like 100% accuracy.
00:26:50.460 I think.
00:26:52.340 Let me try one.
00:26:54.160 Does Trump want to build a wall?
00:26:57.660 Yeah.
00:26:58.620 Does Trump want an EV mandate?
00:27:01.720 Everybody knows the answer to that question.
00:27:03.580 Of course he doesn't.
00:27:04.480 Does Trump,
00:27:05.880 is Trump in favor of endless wars overseas
00:27:08.860 for all of our NATO or other reasons?
00:27:12.380 No.
00:27:12.900 He wants to negotiate an end.
00:27:15.120 Now I don't think there's anything I can think of
00:27:17.360 where I don't perfectly know
00:27:19.400 what Trump's general approach to it is.
00:27:23.540 And all of his,
00:27:25.320 all of his supporters
00:27:27.020 could answer those questions.
00:27:28.660 I think.
00:27:29.500 I think literally all of them.
00:27:31.080 But to find a Democrat
00:27:33.740 who could even explain
00:27:34.960 what Harris's opinions are,
00:27:37.400 I don't think you could find one.
00:27:39.840 To me,
00:27:40.520 the strongest commercial
00:27:41.620 that you could do
00:27:43.680 would be lots of reports
00:27:46.140 of Biden voters
00:27:47.780 not knowing why they're voting.
00:27:50.420 But you want to get the ones
00:27:52.620 who look worst on camera.
00:27:55.200 Now I don't mean physically unattractive,
00:27:57.340 although that would be good.
00:27:58.820 Because remember,
00:27:59.400 you work on persuasion.
00:28:00.460 If you were to show
00:28:01.840 a whole bunch of interviews,
00:28:04.100 let's say maybe three per ad,
00:28:06.240 you don't need to overdo it.
00:28:08.860 You just show three people
00:28:10.200 who are for Harris
00:28:11.940 and can't explain why
00:28:13.240 and have no idea
00:28:14.680 what she's ever done.
00:28:16.520 Make them look like idiots.
00:28:18.620 So the one I was mentioning earlier
00:28:20.040 where there were,
00:28:21.080 you know,
00:28:21.320 some more street interviews,
00:28:22.840 they may have deleted out
00:28:24.640 or edited out
00:28:25.720 any smart people
00:28:26.760 who had smart answers.
00:28:27.780 So, you know,
00:28:30.100 I worry that the context
00:28:31.280 was altered to influence me
00:28:33.600 to think that nobody knows
00:28:35.600 what Harris is up to.
00:28:37.560 It could be they deleted those.
00:28:39.620 How would I know?
00:28:40.860 But it would be super persuasive
00:28:42.820 to show person after person
00:28:45.240 who is a Harris voter
00:28:46.640 looking like an uninformed idiot.
00:28:48.600 Do you know why?
00:28:50.820 Let's see if you can
00:28:51.540 complete this thought.
00:28:53.480 Why would it be persuasive
00:28:55.300 to show lots of Harris voters
00:28:58.080 not knowing anything
00:28:59.040 about anything?
00:29:01.780 The reason is
00:29:02.900 that people are team players,
00:29:05.920 but they don't want to be
00:29:07.200 on the team
00:29:07.740 that looks like idiots.
00:29:09.500 They don't want to be
00:29:10.180 on a team
00:29:10.600 that's full of humiliated
00:29:12.580 dumbos.
00:29:13.760 So if you simply
00:29:15.640 lightly made the case
00:29:17.420 that Harris supporters
00:29:18.460 are idiots,
00:29:20.400 but you don't say that,
00:29:22.140 that would be a huge mistake
00:29:23.300 because you don't want to
00:29:24.280 you don't want to be
00:29:25.340 insulting American voters.
00:29:27.120 You simply want to show
00:29:28.460 three of them real people
00:29:29.840 and how they are,
00:29:31.500 in fact, idiots.
00:29:32.520 You don't need to say anything.
00:29:34.500 Just show them
00:29:35.500 because especially women
00:29:38.200 are going to make decisions
00:29:40.260 based on who they feel
00:29:41.280 comfortable associating with.
00:29:42.940 One of the things
00:29:44.380 about MAGA supporters
00:29:45.620 is they don't care
00:29:47.440 what you think.
00:29:50.100 They're going to support Trump
00:29:51.500 even if you hate it.
00:29:54.760 But I don't think
00:29:55.560 the same thing works
00:29:56.540 on the left.
00:29:58.580 On the left,
00:29:59.480 I think they're really
00:30:00.220 going to care
00:30:00.860 that they're doing
00:30:01.980 the right thing
00:30:02.680 according to other people.
00:30:04.380 So they want to be judged
00:30:05.620 by other people,
00:30:06.800 not their own opinions.
00:30:08.920 So if you show
00:30:09.840 that their fellow voters
00:30:11.580 are dullards,
00:30:15.000 they're going to think,
00:30:16.020 why am I on this team?
00:30:17.740 That pirate ship
00:30:18.580 is looking kind of good today.
00:30:23.100 Well, General McMasters
00:30:25.600 is telling a story
00:30:28.560 that has no real credibility
00:30:30.560 the way it's told.
00:30:32.440 But Hillary Clinton
00:30:33.580 is mocking Trump
00:30:34.680 by quoting McMasters.
00:30:37.080 So McMasters,
00:30:38.060 who was a national security advisor
00:30:40.200 for Trump,
00:30:41.620 but he was a controversial one.
00:30:44.100 Let's just say
00:30:44.840 there were some pro-Trump people
00:30:46.480 who know more than I do,
00:30:48.120 who thought he was
00:30:49.380 more of a problem
00:30:50.180 in the administration
00:30:51.120 than a solution.
00:30:52.700 So I'm not so sure
00:30:54.140 that his credibility
00:30:55.620 is high among the people
00:30:56.820 on the right,
00:30:57.380 but the people
00:30:58.580 on the left
00:30:59.020 don't know that.
00:31:00.660 So the people
00:31:01.360 on the left
00:31:01.860 would think
00:31:02.340 this is some
00:31:03.000 loyal person of Trump
00:31:04.520 who's now saying
00:31:05.260 bad things.
00:31:06.420 If you knew it was
00:31:07.800 maybe not
00:31:09.080 the most reliable
00:31:10.140 person
00:31:11.680 and that
00:31:12.940 that was
00:31:13.380 well debated
00:31:15.120 while he was
00:31:16.460 in that position,
00:31:18.340 you might feel
00:31:19.460 that maybe
00:31:19.920 there's some bias
00:31:20.800 creeping into
00:31:21.540 his reporting.
00:31:23.160 But he says
00:31:24.140 that Trump said
00:31:24.900 two things,
00:31:25.460 quote,
00:31:26.060 why don't we just
00:31:27.040 bomb the drugs,
00:31:28.160 talking about Mexico,
00:31:29.940 and quote,
00:31:30.500 why don't we take out
00:31:31.400 the whole North Korean
00:31:32.260 army during one
00:31:33.200 of their parades?
00:31:35.880 Now Hillary Clinton
00:31:37.080 reports those two things
00:31:38.480 as though no explanation
00:31:40.620 needs to be given.
00:31:42.620 Here's my take.
00:31:44.120 Number one,
00:31:44.740 why don't we just
00:31:45.360 bomb the drugs?
00:31:46.880 That's literally
00:31:47.700 the position
00:31:50.120 of all the top
00:31:51.220 Republican candidates
00:31:52.700 that we should have
00:31:54.300 some military
00:31:55.060 reaction to the
00:31:56.240 fentanyl stuff
00:31:57.060 in Mexico.
00:31:58.700 What's wrong
00:31:59.340 with asking
00:31:59.840 that question?
00:32:01.600 If the answer
00:32:02.860 is no,
00:32:03.840 we shouldn't do it
00:32:04.720 and here are the
00:32:05.380 reasons,
00:32:06.260 it's still a good
00:32:08.060 question
00:32:08.500 because I don't
00:32:10.320 know the reasons.
00:32:11.580 Do you?
00:32:12.660 I mean,
00:32:12.960 I can say obvious
00:32:13.780 things like
00:32:14.420 you don't want
00:32:15.260 to attack Mexico,
00:32:17.540 blah, blah, blah,
00:32:18.140 but we're also
00:32:19.080 looking at
00:32:19.780 unprecedented
00:32:21.340 number of deaths
00:32:22.600 in the United States,
00:32:23.320 so you want
00:32:24.320 to do things
00:32:24.800 you haven't
00:32:25.160 done before
00:32:25.700 if that's
00:32:26.520 what needs
00:32:26.940 to be done.
00:32:28.380 So no,
00:32:28.960 it's a perfectly
00:32:29.780 reasonable question.
00:32:31.120 Why don't we
00:32:31.560 just bomb the drugs?
00:32:34.440 If the answer
00:32:35.380 is there are
00:32:35.960 really good reasons,
00:32:37.280 well,
00:32:37.460 why don't you
00:32:37.840 tell us?
00:32:38.880 If you know
00:32:39.620 the really good
00:32:40.280 reasons for not
00:32:41.040 doing it,
00:32:42.060 I'd love to know.
00:32:44.080 Why don't you
00:32:44.580 fill me in
00:32:45.200 instead of just
00:32:46.300 acting like it's
00:32:47.160 obviously a bad
00:32:48.000 idea when I
00:32:50.000 don't know that?
00:32:50.660 It might be.
00:32:53.800 I'm open to
00:32:54.560 the argument,
00:32:55.700 but without an
00:32:56.380 argument,
00:32:57.140 I think it's
00:32:57.880 the right question.
00:32:59.160 How about
00:32:59.440 the second one?
00:33:02.060 Why don't we
00:33:02.720 take out the
00:33:03.200 whole North
00:33:03.640 Korean army
00:33:04.240 during one
00:33:04.760 of their
00:33:05.020 parades?
00:33:06.880 Do you
00:33:07.480 think that's
00:33:08.080 serious?
00:33:09.900 Does that
00:33:10.440 sound like
00:33:11.240 a serious,
00:33:12.620 like he wants
00:33:13.700 to maybe
00:33:14.320 take out
00:33:14.860 all of Korea
00:33:15.520 with one
00:33:16.220 swoop?
00:33:17.840 No.
00:33:18.360 here's how
00:33:19.780 you should
00:33:20.280 interpret this
00:33:21.060 if you're
00:33:21.460 not an
00:33:22.220 idiot general.
00:33:23.900 The way
00:33:24.580 you should
00:33:24.760 interpret it
00:33:25.320 is if we
00:33:27.640 have a bunch
00:33:28.220 of battle
00:33:28.760 plans drawn
00:33:29.520 up,
00:33:30.880 wouldn't it
00:33:31.500 make sense
00:33:32.040 that at
00:33:32.420 least one
00:33:32.820 of them
00:33:33.140 would include
00:33:34.500 bombing their
00:33:35.220 military parade
00:33:36.080 if they have
00:33:36.540 all their
00:33:36.880 good assets
00:33:37.680 there?
00:33:38.780 It's a
00:33:39.440 perfectly good
00:33:40.140 question,
00:33:40.960 but not
00:33:41.580 super serious.
00:33:42.800 It doesn't
00:33:43.600 mean that you
00:33:44.020 want to do
00:33:44.580 it preemptively.
00:33:45.600 See, the
00:33:47.460 implication is
00:33:48.420 he wanted
00:33:48.740 to just
00:33:49.360 do it.
00:33:51.720 No, he
00:33:52.340 didn't because
00:33:53.860 nobody would
00:33:54.640 say that.
00:33:56.100 Literally, no
00:33:57.100 one would say,
00:33:58.060 remember, this
00:33:58.660 is how you
00:33:59.040 know the
00:33:59.360 hoax.
00:34:00.480 You can
00:34:00.840 tell the
00:34:01.200 hoaxes by
00:34:02.540 saying, would
00:34:03.080 anybody really
00:34:03.760 say that?
00:34:05.020 Would anybody
00:34:05.600 say, why
00:34:06.200 don't we
00:34:06.600 bomb the
00:34:07.400 cartels?
00:34:08.220 Yes, they
00:34:08.580 would.
00:34:09.660 Yeah, I
00:34:10.080 say it.
00:34:11.220 Vivek said
00:34:11.800 it.
00:34:12.780 It's commonly
00:34:13.780 said.
00:34:14.860 So, yes,
00:34:15.400 you could
00:34:15.800 believe that
00:34:16.440 Trump or
00:34:17.180 anybody else
00:34:18.040 would reasonably
00:34:19.680 ask, can
00:34:21.340 you tell me
00:34:21.720 the pros and
00:34:22.300 cons of
00:34:22.780 doing this?
00:34:24.040 Perfectly
00:34:24.520 reasonable
00:34:24.840 question.
00:34:25.420 Yes, you
00:34:25.780 probably asked
00:34:26.280 that.
00:34:27.680 But do you
00:34:28.140 really think
00:34:28.980 that Trump
00:34:30.340 said, why
00:34:30.920 don't we
00:34:31.280 preemptively?
00:34:32.520 Because
00:34:32.820 preemptively is
00:34:33.660 kind of
00:34:34.000 implied, right?
00:34:35.840 If we were
00:34:36.600 in the middle
00:34:37.000 of a war
00:34:37.540 that was
00:34:38.080 unavoidable,
00:34:39.840 then do you
00:34:40.840 think McMasters
00:34:41.680 would have a
00:34:42.360 problem with
00:34:42.900 bombing the
00:34:43.680 parade?
00:34:44.080 No, not
00:34:45.520 if you're
00:34:45.780 in a war.
00:34:46.980 So, obviously,
00:34:47.800 the context
00:34:48.380 is, if we
00:34:50.400 were in a
00:34:50.760 war, wouldn't
00:34:51.220 that be an
00:34:51.680 obvious attack
00:34:53.180 factor?
00:34:54.180 It's just sort
00:34:54.980 of an obvious
00:34:55.580 and funny thing
00:34:56.560 to say.
00:34:57.540 I might have
00:34:58.160 said the same
00:34:58.700 thing because I
00:35:00.200 didn't think it
00:35:00.720 would get out,
00:35:01.600 but then this
00:35:02.140 asshole decides
00:35:03.540 that a private
00:35:04.120 conversation with
00:35:04.980 the president
00:35:05.420 needs to be
00:35:06.100 published in
00:35:06.540 the book.
00:35:07.540 Not cool.
00:35:09.120 Not cool.
00:35:09.760 By the way,
00:35:11.140 I have also
00:35:11.920 said some
00:35:12.440 things that
00:35:13.100 were said
00:35:13.460 privately with
00:35:14.880 Trump, but
00:35:16.480 only because
00:35:16.860 they make
00:35:17.160 him look
00:35:17.440 good.
00:35:19.560 He's not
00:35:20.180 going to
00:35:20.380 complain about
00:35:20.920 that, that
00:35:22.220 he did
00:35:22.780 something that
00:35:23.220 makes him
00:35:23.500 look smart
00:35:24.060 and well
00:35:24.680 informed.
00:35:25.620 So, if
00:35:26.100 you say
00:35:26.460 that, oh,
00:35:28.040 that's fair.
00:35:29.340 You're not
00:35:30.160 giving up some
00:35:31.020 confidence or
00:35:31.760 something like
00:35:32.260 that.
00:35:32.660 You shouldn't
00:35:33.260 do it.
00:35:34.400 You probably
00:35:34.820 shouldn't do
00:35:35.360 it, but as
00:35:36.360 long as it
00:35:36.720 makes the
00:35:37.240 president look
00:35:38.020 good, who's
00:35:38.820 going to
00:35:39.080 complain,
00:35:39.560 really.
00:35:42.180 Anyway, so
00:35:42.860 I do that
00:35:43.320 too, but
00:35:44.700 not about
00:35:45.120 things that
00:35:45.600 are dumb.
00:35:46.580 Claudia was
00:35:47.160 leaving for
00:35:47.580 her pickleball
00:35:48.160 tournament.
00:35:48.700 I've been
00:35:48.960 visualizing my
00:35:49.760 match all
00:35:50.420 week.
00:35:51.220 She was so
00:35:51.820 focused on
00:35:52.320 visualizing that
00:35:53.200 she didn't
00:35:53.640 see the column
00:35:54.180 behind her
00:35:54.660 car on her
00:35:55.360 backhand side.
00:35:57.260 Good thing
00:35:57.920 Claudia's with
00:35:58.540 Intact, the
00:35:59.360 insurer with
00:35:59.960 the largest
00:36:00.440 network of
00:36:01.020 auto service
00:36:01.500 centers in
00:36:02.140 the country.
00:36:02.940 Everything was
00:36:03.480 taken care of
00:36:04.100 under one
00:36:04.580 roof and she
00:36:05.220 was on her
00:36:05.640 way in a
00:36:06.000 rental car in
00:36:06.760 no time.
00:36:07.480 I made it to
00:36:08.120 my tournament.
00:36:08.820 And lost in
00:36:09.940 the first
00:36:10.240 round.
00:36:10.960 But you
00:36:11.440 got there on
00:36:12.060 time.
00:36:12.740 Intact
00:36:13.040 insurance, your
00:36:14.000 auto service
00:36:14.640 ace.
00:36:15.340 Certain conditions
00:36:15.880 apply.
00:36:17.260 So Jack
00:36:17.740 Smith is
00:36:18.520 re-indicting,
00:36:20.060 rewrote his
00:36:20.680 indictment of
00:36:21.480 the president
00:36:23.120 because the
00:36:24.240 Supreme Court
00:36:24.940 ruled on that
00:36:25.880 presidential
00:36:27.080 immunity thing,
00:36:28.180 which meant he
00:36:28.680 had to rewrite
00:36:29.340 it to get rid
00:36:30.040 of that objection.
00:36:31.560 So here's
00:36:32.140 what's left.
00:36:32.840 So there are
00:36:33.980 four charges
00:36:34.840 left, I
00:36:35.460 believe.
00:36:38.920 Conspiracy to
00:36:39.820 defraud the
00:36:40.500 U.S.
00:36:42.220 I don't even
00:36:43.140 know what that
00:36:43.520 refers to.
00:36:45.360 Do you?
00:36:47.820 Conspiracy to
00:36:48.740 defraud.
00:36:51.120 I think that
00:36:52.140 everything he did
00:36:52.800 was transparent.
00:36:54.680 Is it
00:36:55.480 defrauding if
00:36:56.280 it's transparent?
00:36:58.520 Transparently,
00:36:59.220 they wanted to
00:36:59.900 have an alternate
00:37:01.060 set of electors.
00:37:03.500 Completely
00:37:04.060 transparently,
00:37:05.100 they were
00:37:05.600 doubting the
00:37:06.320 election results
00:37:07.200 and were
00:37:07.620 asking for
00:37:08.220 recounts.
00:37:10.240 Completely
00:37:10.800 transparently,
00:37:12.260 they were
00:37:12.620 asking for a
00:37:13.520 short delay
00:37:14.240 so they could
00:37:14.860 look more
00:37:15.420 carefully in
00:37:17.100 some places.
00:37:19.980 What part of
00:37:20.580 that is the
00:37:21.380 conspiracy to
00:37:22.820 defraud?
00:37:24.360 All I see
00:37:25.060 is a process
00:37:26.180 that the
00:37:27.460 courts would
00:37:27.980 work out like
00:37:28.700 they often do.
00:37:29.600 if Trump
00:37:30.960 was doing
00:37:31.400 something that
00:37:32.120 the courts
00:37:32.620 were not
00:37:33.020 going to
00:37:33.440 accept,
00:37:34.700 I think
00:37:35.320 that's all
00:37:35.760 it would
00:37:35.980 have been.
00:37:36.900 Where's
00:37:37.340 this conspiracy
00:37:38.140 to defraud?
00:37:38.920 How do you
00:37:39.160 even get
00:37:39.500 that?
00:37:40.560 Wouldn't
00:37:40.980 you have to
00:37:41.440 read their
00:37:41.820 minds?
00:37:43.400 Because unless
00:37:44.360 you read
00:37:44.800 their minds,
00:37:45.500 it looked like
00:37:46.120 a bunch of
00:37:46.540 people who
00:37:46.940 thought an
00:37:47.260 election was
00:37:47.940 rigged and
00:37:49.180 were trying to
00:37:49.700 figure out is
00:37:50.900 there any
00:37:51.220 way to
00:37:51.760 create a
00:37:53.540 pushback to
00:37:54.920 what looks
00:37:55.280 like a
00:37:55.580 rigged
00:37:55.820 election.
00:37:56.140 So the
00:37:57.560 first one
00:37:57.920 looks like
00:37:58.280 mind reading.
00:38:01.220 Second one,
00:38:02.080 conspiracy to
00:38:02.980 obstruct an
00:38:03.680 official proceeding.
00:38:06.280 And then a
00:38:07.080 related one,
00:38:07.840 obstruction of
00:38:08.560 an attempt to
00:38:09.220 obstruct an
00:38:09.860 official proceeding.
00:38:11.140 Now I'm no
00:38:11.840 lawyer, but those
00:38:12.600 look like the
00:38:13.120 same fucking
00:38:13.700 things.
00:38:15.420 I'm sure there's
00:38:16.340 some little
00:38:16.700 difference that
00:38:18.080 they can use.
00:38:19.960 But correct me
00:38:21.400 if I'm wrong,
00:38:22.120 but wasn't that
00:38:22.740 the Enron
00:38:23.500 problem?
00:38:24.000 that the
00:38:25.380 laws about
00:38:26.480 obstructing
00:38:27.200 an official
00:38:27.640 proceedings were
00:38:29.520 originally created
00:38:31.040 because Enron got
00:38:32.240 rid of some
00:38:32.680 records when the
00:38:33.600 government was
00:38:34.120 trying to
00:38:34.480 investigate them,
00:38:35.400 something like
00:38:35.760 that, and
00:38:36.920 that nobody
00:38:37.800 really thinks
00:38:38.440 that would
00:38:38.780 have applied
00:38:39.280 to this
00:38:39.680 situation.
00:38:40.800 It was meant
00:38:41.300 for a different
00:38:41.820 context.
00:38:43.420 So you got
00:38:43.840 one that doesn't
00:38:44.600 make any sense
00:38:45.420 unless you're a
00:38:46.060 mind reader and
00:38:47.220 you incorrectly
00:38:48.340 read minds.
00:38:50.000 And the other
00:38:50.600 is two Enron
00:38:51.940 related things that
00:38:52.980 don't even look
00:38:53.540 like the law
00:38:54.160 should apply.
00:38:55.460 And the
00:38:55.680 Supreme Court
00:38:56.280 would just
00:38:56.660 toss it out.
00:38:57.260 It's like,
00:38:57.440 what the hell
00:38:57.700 are you doing?
00:38:58.100 This doesn't
00:38:58.480 even apply to
00:38:59.040 this situation.
00:39:00.580 And then the
00:39:01.220 fourth one is
00:39:01.900 conspiracy against
00:39:03.140 rights, which
00:39:04.480 again, sounds
00:39:05.800 like just some
00:39:06.500 fucking thing
00:39:07.120 they made up.
00:39:08.380 Now, I'm not
00:39:09.240 doubting that
00:39:09.800 there's something
00:39:10.320 written down
00:39:10.920 somewhere that's
00:39:11.600 a law with
00:39:12.180 these words, but
00:39:13.480 do you think
00:39:13.880 that even sounds
00:39:14.980 real?
00:39:16.220 This doesn't
00:39:16.920 even sound
00:39:17.660 real.
00:39:18.800 I'm not a
00:39:19.280 lawyer, but at
00:39:19.920 least when a
00:39:21.320 lawyer charges
00:39:22.000 somebody with
00:39:22.600 something, I
00:39:23.080 go, huh, if
00:39:24.440 it's true, that
00:39:25.980 sounds like a
00:39:26.660 crime.
00:39:27.540 Why is it that
00:39:28.560 even if these
00:39:29.420 things were true,
00:39:30.140 they wouldn't
00:39:30.480 sound like crimes
00:39:31.260 to me?
00:39:32.340 It would sound
00:39:33.020 like two that
00:39:33.660 don't apply because
00:39:34.500 they were supposed
00:39:35.080 to be, you know,
00:39:35.800 Enron, that kind
00:39:37.360 of behavior.
00:39:38.800 And two don't
00:39:39.600 even sound like
00:39:40.260 crimes, unless
00:39:42.460 again, you're
00:39:43.060 reading minds and
00:39:43.940 finding something
00:39:44.560 that's probably not
00:39:45.320 in there.
00:39:45.680 Now, according
00:39:49.440 to an account
00:39:50.080 called the
00:39:50.620 Texas One, here's
00:39:52.980 a little factoid
00:39:53.840 you probably
00:39:54.300 didn't know.
00:39:56.060 Not that it's
00:39:56.840 important.
00:39:58.420 I mean, this
00:39:58.840 doesn't mean
00:39:59.280 anything.
00:40:00.000 This is just a
00:40:00.860 random coincidence.
00:40:03.900 Are you ready
00:40:04.260 for a random
00:40:04.920 coincidence?
00:40:06.840 Jack Smith's
00:40:07.820 wife produced
00:40:09.620 the Netflix
00:40:10.360 Obama documentary
00:40:11.880 called Becoming
00:40:12.760 Michelle.
00:40:13.240 So, Jack
00:40:17.540 Smith is a
00:40:18.220 totally unbiased
00:40:19.220 player.
00:40:22.040 Okay.
00:40:23.560 Mike Benz is
00:40:24.640 warning us that
00:40:25.400 that arrest of
00:40:27.680 the Telegram CEO
00:40:28.800 in France, he
00:40:30.680 says, this is
00:40:32.480 what Mike Benz
00:40:33.140 says about that,
00:40:34.020 Mark my words,
00:40:35.000 you're going to
00:40:35.420 see so many
00:40:35.980 pieces suddenly
00:40:36.720 rush-agating that
00:40:38.840 CEO named
00:40:39.680 Pavel Durov.
00:40:41.480 It'll make your
00:40:42.060 head spin.
00:40:43.240 So, here's
00:40:46.180 what we know.
00:40:46.780 Two weeks, I
00:40:47.580 think this is
00:40:48.100 Benz as well,
00:40:49.380 two weeks after
00:40:50.880 Tucker interviewed
00:40:51.880 the founder of
00:40:53.580 Telegram, the
00:40:55.240 CIA founded
00:40:56.240 Radio for
00:40:56.840 Europe, that
00:40:57.860 was run
00:40:58.300 directly by the
00:40:59.000 CIA for its
00:40:59.840 first 20 years,
00:41:00.960 ran a long
00:41:01.540 piece insinuating
00:41:02.600 Russia was
00:41:03.460 secretly controlling
00:41:04.720 Telegram and
00:41:06.480 Ukraine must
00:41:07.280 seize control of
00:41:08.140 it because it's
00:41:09.860 a military
00:41:10.460 intelligence thing.
00:41:11.840 two, and
00:41:15.700 then there's
00:41:16.040 also some
00:41:17.900 seemingly
00:41:19.180 unrelated
00:41:19.820 events that
00:41:20.720 seem connected.
00:41:21.780 Here's the
00:41:22.300 big picture, as
00:41:23.860 best I understand
00:41:24.940 it.
00:41:26.140 Whatever country
00:41:27.180 could control
00:41:28.220 and get a
00:41:29.000 back door to
00:41:29.800 the Telegram
00:41:30.560 app would
00:41:31.980 have a window
00:41:32.640 to all the
00:41:33.380 bad behavior of
00:41:34.460 all their
00:41:34.760 enemies and
00:41:35.860 all the
00:41:36.140 criminals.
00:41:37.560 So, imagine
00:41:38.340 how much Russia
00:41:40.000 wanted to
00:41:40.560 control that
00:41:41.240 app.
00:41:42.220 A lot.
00:41:43.880 Imagine how
00:41:44.620 much the
00:41:45.100 U.S.
00:41:45.540 wanted to
00:41:46.080 control that
00:41:46.780 app.
00:41:48.040 A lot.
00:41:49.900 Did you
00:41:50.340 know that
00:41:51.280 not too
00:41:51.680 long ago,
00:41:52.480 maybe a
00:41:52.960 couple years
00:41:53.300 ago,
00:41:56.060 Macron tried
00:41:57.900 to get that
00:41:58.640 same Telegram
00:41:59.500 guy to move
00:42:00.280 his office to
00:42:01.600 France.
00:42:03.580 Why would
00:42:04.300 they do
00:42:04.620 that?
00:42:05.620 Well, France
00:42:06.700 would really,
00:42:07.700 really like to
00:42:08.240 get a back
00:42:08.640 door into that
00:42:09.380 app.
00:42:09.660 or at
00:42:10.900 least have
00:42:12.020 control of
00:42:12.660 him so
00:42:13.040 they could
00:42:13.360 get that
00:42:13.700 back door.
00:42:15.120 So, it
00:42:15.340 turns out that
00:42:15.960 the Telegram
00:42:16.540 app, one
00:42:17.100 of two that
00:42:19.320 are the big
00:42:19.800 ones for
00:42:20.540 especially
00:42:21.340 international
00:42:22.300 entities forming
00:42:24.800 to be a
00:42:25.500 counterforce
00:42:26.240 against their
00:42:27.040 government,
00:42:27.640 etc., it was
00:42:29.360 WhatsApp and
00:42:31.400 Telegram.
00:42:31.920 but we
00:42:33.640 know that
00:42:34.080 WhatsApp is
00:42:34.780 now, we
00:42:35.680 believe,
00:42:36.620 completely
00:42:37.240 penetrated by
00:42:38.760 U.S.
00:42:39.480 intelligence
00:42:39.900 because they
00:42:40.400 put too
00:42:41.280 much pressure
00:42:41.820 on Facebook.
00:42:44.960 So, that
00:42:45.640 would mean
00:42:46.000 just Telegram
00:42:46.820 is the place
00:42:47.720 that the
00:42:48.220 baddies or
00:42:49.000 even the
00:42:49.420 goodies could
00:42:50.440 organize against
00:42:51.300 the government.
00:42:53.020 Everybody
00:42:53.540 needs to
00:42:54.240 control that.
00:42:55.360 It's just
00:42:55.840 way too
00:42:56.460 dangerous for
00:42:57.220 every country
00:42:58.000 to be on
00:42:58.460 the wrong
00:42:58.780 side of
00:42:59.380 knowing what
00:43:00.460 is and is
00:43:01.000 not happening
00:43:01.700 in that
00:43:02.080 app.
00:43:02.920 So, it
00:43:03.520 looks like
00:43:03.960 we're in
00:43:04.320 some kind
00:43:04.740 of much
00:43:05.240 larger battle
00:43:07.100 where all
00:43:08.040 of the
00:43:08.460 government
00:43:09.580 entities want
00:43:10.820 to be the
00:43:11.120 ones that
00:43:11.460 have that
00:43:11.780 back door.
00:43:13.600 And, you
00:43:14.000 know, maybe
00:43:14.320 France was
00:43:15.040 already working
00:43:15.760 with NATO
00:43:16.940 in the United
00:43:17.460 States and
00:43:18.000 it was more
00:43:18.380 of a Western
00:43:19.540 getting access
00:43:20.300 to it than
00:43:20.900 just France.
00:43:21.740 We don't
00:43:22.300 know that.
00:43:23.100 But there's
00:43:23.500 also some
00:43:24.320 bigger France
00:43:25.720 versus Russia
00:43:27.880 issue where
00:43:28.960 France has
00:43:29.600 a lot of
00:43:29.960 electricity
00:43:30.460 based on
00:43:31.120 nuclear power
00:43:31.920 and the
00:43:33.620 country of
00:43:34.080 Niger was
00:43:35.600 important to
00:43:36.360 getting France's
00:43:37.280 uranium but
00:43:38.340 Russia is
00:43:39.800 now back
00:43:41.660 to coup and
00:43:42.540 has more
00:43:42.960 control of
00:43:43.540 Niger and
00:43:44.100 France is
00:43:44.600 pulling out
00:43:45.200 and somehow
00:43:46.120 all of these
00:43:46.900 events seem
00:43:49.200 to be connected.
00:43:51.060 So, here's
00:43:51.820 my takeaway.
00:43:52.700 We're never
00:43:53.360 going to know
00:43:53.820 what this is
00:43:54.400 about.
00:43:55.940 We're going
00:43:56.520 to be able
00:43:56.800 to speculate
00:43:57.440 and some
00:43:58.360 of it's
00:43:58.680 obvious.
00:43:59.160 It's obvious
00:43:59.760 that every
00:44:00.280 intelligence
00:44:00.840 unit from
00:44:02.480 every country
00:44:03.240 wants to
00:44:04.260 control the
00:44:04.760 telegram app.
00:44:06.260 It's obvious
00:44:07.080 that they've
00:44:07.740 tried.
00:44:09.260 It's obvious
00:44:09.860 they'll keep
00:44:10.340 trying.
00:44:11.500 To me, it's
00:44:12.120 obvious that
00:44:12.820 his jailing
00:44:13.560 has more to
00:44:14.160 do with
00:44:14.540 getting control
00:44:15.280 of the app
00:44:16.020 than it does
00:44:17.300 to anything
00:44:17.860 he did
00:44:18.300 illegally, even
00:44:19.180 if he did
00:44:19.620 something illegal.
00:44:21.080 So, I don't
00:44:21.940 know if he did
00:44:22.400 anything illegal,
00:44:23.340 but certainly
00:44:24.140 not the reason
00:44:24.760 he got, you
00:44:25.800 know, it's not
00:44:26.200 the reason
00:44:26.500 he's being
00:44:26.900 held in
00:44:27.320 France, in
00:44:28.360 my opinion.
00:44:31.560 Anyway, then
00:44:32.860 we also know
00:44:33.440 that the,
00:44:34.480 according to
00:44:34.940 Next TV,
00:44:36.980 that's an
00:44:37.300 account on
00:44:37.800 X, that
00:44:39.040 the French
00:44:39.620 and the
00:44:40.040 UAE Intel
00:44:42.560 services, they
00:44:44.220 tried a joint
00:44:45.080 operation to
00:44:45.760 hack that
00:44:46.680 telegram CEO's
00:44:48.080 iPhone in
00:44:48.780 2017, according
00:44:49.780 to the Wall
00:44:50.180 Street Journal.
00:44:52.120 So, everybody's
00:44:53.720 been trying to
00:44:54.260 get into this
00:44:54.860 guy for a
00:44:56.280 long, long
00:44:56.840 time.
00:44:59.180 It was
00:44:59.840 2018 that
00:45:00.720 Macron invited
00:45:02.340 him to
00:45:02.760 lunch and
00:45:03.220 tried to
00:45:03.700 get him to
00:45:04.020 move to
00:45:04.320 France.
00:45:06.680 So, here's
00:45:07.920 some more
00:45:08.560 about the
00:45:08.920 press.
00:45:09.700 So, the
00:45:10.160 German police
00:45:10.940 are investigating
00:45:11.780 because some
00:45:13.240 citizen called
00:45:14.220 one of their
00:45:14.900 MPs fat.
00:45:18.000 So, they're
00:45:18.820 investigating a
00:45:19.680 user on the
00:45:20.280 Gab platform
00:45:21.200 who insulted
00:45:23.120 a Bundestag
00:45:24.060 MP online.
00:45:27.960 So, they're
00:45:28.660 seeking information
00:45:29.460 on the user,
00:45:30.120 but Gab is
00:45:30.680 refusing to
00:45:31.320 give it to
00:45:31.680 him.
00:45:34.640 This is a
00:45:35.540 true thing.
00:45:37.220 There might be
00:45:38.200 somebody who
00:45:38.820 could go to
00:45:39.380 jail for
00:45:39.900 calling a
00:45:40.840 very overweight
00:45:42.680 woman fat.
00:45:45.060 Now, my
00:45:46.740 question is
00:45:47.360 this.
00:45:47.720 Can it
00:45:49.260 ever be
00:45:49.780 hate speech
00:45:50.560 to say
00:45:51.260 something that's
00:45:51.940 both true and
00:45:52.940 obvious to
00:45:53.560 everyone?
00:45:54.860 What exactly
00:45:55.880 makes that
00:45:56.380 hate speech?
00:45:57.560 If you were
00:45:58.320 to say to
00:45:58.700 me, Scott,
00:45:59.740 you're bald,
00:46:01.740 is that
00:46:02.640 hate speech?
00:46:04.180 Because I'm
00:46:04.900 a little bit
00:46:05.400 bald.
00:46:06.720 If they
00:46:07.340 said to me,
00:46:07.920 Scott, you're
00:46:09.360 not six foot
00:46:10.680 two, well,
00:46:13.080 I might not
00:46:13.520 like it, but
00:46:15.740 is it hate
00:46:16.620 speech?
00:46:17.040 If it's
00:46:17.800 just obvious
00:46:18.620 and it's an
00:46:19.300 observation that
00:46:20.120 everybody can
00:46:20.680 make, if
00:46:22.280 they say,
00:46:22.940 you four-eyed
00:46:23.880 fuck, is
00:46:26.680 that an
00:46:26.980 insult?
00:46:28.000 I actually
00:46:28.940 do have
00:46:29.500 glasses.
00:46:31.280 What's the
00:46:32.020 insult of
00:46:32.620 it?
00:46:34.160 If somebody
00:46:35.500 does have,
00:46:37.700 you know,
00:46:38.240 they're carrying
00:46:39.000 a ton of
00:46:39.540 weight and
00:46:40.860 somebody makes
00:46:41.480 a comment
00:46:41.940 about it,
00:46:42.780 it's very
00:46:43.320 poor form.
00:46:44.540 It's not
00:46:44.880 something I
00:46:45.460 would prefer
00:46:46.100 to see.
00:46:47.040 But is
00:46:47.800 it hate
00:46:48.660 speech, if
00:46:49.760 it's both
00:46:50.220 obvious and
00:46:50.900 everybody can
00:46:51.460 see it?
00:46:52.080 If it's not
00:46:52.820 even an
00:46:53.200 opinion, if
00:46:54.660 it were an
00:46:55.100 opinion, then
00:46:57.660 I could see,
00:46:58.420 okay, you're
00:46:58.940 just bringing
00:46:59.360 some unpleasantness
00:47:00.420 into a place
00:47:01.020 that doesn't
00:47:01.440 need it.
00:47:02.400 But it's not
00:47:02.820 really an
00:47:03.180 opinion.
00:47:04.620 It's just an
00:47:05.660 observation.
00:47:06.740 It's an
00:47:07.300 unkind
00:47:07.780 observation, but
00:47:08.680 is that hate?
00:47:09.300 Well, so
00:47:10.900 here's my
00:47:11.580 second question.
00:47:13.320 If somebody
00:47:14.080 in America
00:47:14.620 said that,
00:47:16.060 could Germany
00:47:17.460 get them
00:47:17.960 extradited?
00:47:20.200 Can Americans
00:47:21.200 now get
00:47:21.840 picked up and
00:47:23.280 sent to other
00:47:23.980 countries to be
00:47:24.740 in jail for
00:47:26.020 their free speech
00:47:26.800 in America?
00:47:28.280 Is that
00:47:28.780 because it
00:47:30.300 looks like the
00:47:30.820 UK would have
00:47:31.900 the right to
00:47:32.460 extradite?
00:47:33.020 What about
00:47:34.620 Germany?
00:47:35.000 Well, I
00:47:37.160 don't know.
00:47:37.920 Dangerous
00:47:38.480 stuff.
00:47:40.840 Colin Rugg,
00:47:41.840 an ex, had
00:47:43.440 a good thread
00:47:44.380 about who's
00:47:45.780 really stealing
00:47:46.460 your democracy
00:47:47.280 here.
00:47:47.760 You know, of
00:47:48.080 course, Harris
00:47:48.580 says Trump
00:47:49.720 wants to steal
00:47:50.360 your democracy.
00:47:51.700 But here are
00:47:53.080 some things we
00:47:53.700 know that
00:47:54.140 Democrats are
00:47:54.820 behind recently.
00:47:55.960 When I found
00:47:56.520 out my friend
00:47:57.160 got a great
00:47:57.820 deal on a
00:47:58.480 wool coat
00:47:58.860 from Winners,
00:47:59.720 I started
00:48:00.480 wondering, is
00:48:01.660 every fabulous
00:48:02.720 item I see
00:48:03.420 from Winners?
00:48:04.080 Like that
00:48:05.000 woman over
00:48:05.500 there with
00:48:05.960 the designer
00:48:06.400 jeans.
00:48:07.260 Are those
00:48:07.820 from Winners?
00:48:08.720 Ooh, are
00:48:09.520 those beautiful
00:48:10.040 gold earrings?
00:48:11.200 Did she pay
00:48:11.640 full price?
00:48:12.540 Or that
00:48:12.820 leather tote?
00:48:13.560 Or that
00:48:13.820 cashmere
00:48:14.180 sweater?
00:48:14.760 Or those
00:48:15.100 knee-high
00:48:15.420 boots?
00:48:16.240 That dress?
00:48:17.020 That jacket?
00:48:17.700 Those shoes?
00:48:18.720 Is anyone
00:48:19.520 paying full
00:48:20.140 price for
00:48:20.700 anything?
00:48:21.680 Stop
00:48:22.140 wondering.
00:48:22.940 Start
00:48:23.180 winning.
00:48:23.880 Winners.
00:48:24.460 Find
00:48:24.700 fabulous for
00:48:25.500 less.
00:48:26.140 They're
00:48:26.620 forcing
00:48:27.200 RFK Jr.
00:48:29.000 to remain
00:48:29.740 on the ballot
00:48:30.420 in two
00:48:31.160 states because
00:48:33.180 they think
00:48:33.580 it'll be
00:48:33.860 bad for
00:48:34.300 Trump,
00:48:34.940 whereas they've
00:48:35.980 been spending
00:48:36.420 all their
00:48:36.780 time trying
00:48:37.240 to get
00:48:37.580 him off
00:48:38.020 the ballot
00:48:38.560 wherever they
00:48:40.220 thought it
00:48:40.560 would benefit
00:48:40.920 them.
00:48:41.600 So they're
00:48:41.960 not being
00:48:42.340 consistent about
00:48:43.260 whether RFK
00:48:43.940 should be on
00:48:44.640 or off the
00:48:45.160 ballot.
00:48:46.160 They're only
00:48:47.040 fighting it
00:48:47.900 depending on
00:48:48.740 whether they'll
00:48:49.260 win that
00:48:49.640 state.
00:48:50.940 That's their
00:48:51.660 democracy.
00:48:52.920 Democracy
00:48:53.440 there.
00:48:53.720 Now, what
00:48:58.720 Ben Shapiro
00:48:59.940 noted, he
00:49:01.160 said in
00:49:01.520 response to
00:49:02.780 the Democrats
00:49:03.460 trying to
00:49:04.280 keep RFK
00:49:05.860 Jr.
00:49:06.240 on some
00:49:06.700 of the
00:49:06.880 battleground
00:49:07.280 states, he
00:49:08.280 said Republicans
00:49:08.920 should move to
00:49:09.780 keep Joe
00:49:10.200 Biden's name
00:49:10.900 on the
00:49:11.180 ballot in
00:49:12.060 as many
00:49:12.420 swing states
00:49:13.080 as possible.
00:49:15.360 Huh.
00:49:16.720 Hmm.
00:49:17.720 How would
00:49:18.080 that work?
00:49:18.600 what if
00:49:20.180 you could
00:49:20.500 have Kamala
00:49:22.720 Harris on
00:49:23.180 the ballot
00:49:23.580 but also
00:49:25.180 Joe Biden
00:49:26.920 and Kamala
00:49:27.540 Harris and
00:49:29.440 suppose
00:49:29.940 between the
00:49:31.200 two of
00:49:31.540 them, if
00:49:32.400 you added
00:49:32.740 them together
00:49:33.420 Harris won
00:49:34.200 but only if
00:49:35.260 you added
00:49:35.580 them together
00:49:36.260 which they
00:49:37.900 wouldn't do.
00:49:39.380 What would
00:49:40.120 happen if
00:49:40.640 Biden was
00:49:41.340 on the
00:49:41.880 ballot in
00:49:43.200 some swing
00:49:44.840 states?
00:49:46.040 People would
00:49:46.840 actually vote
00:49:47.440 for Biden.
00:49:48.600 but they
00:49:49.660 would also
00:49:50.000 vote for
00:49:50.460 Harris and
00:49:51.960 it would
00:49:52.180 guarantee
00:49:52.580 that she
00:49:52.960 lost.
00:49:55.100 And I'm
00:49:55.740 looking at
00:49:56.140 this and
00:49:56.420 I'm thinking
00:49:56.760 huh, is
00:49:58.140 this like the
00:49:58.660 best idea
00:49:59.260 anybody ever
00:49:59.840 had?
00:50:01.960 If the
00:50:02.680 Democrats
00:50:03.080 open this
00:50:03.900 door that
00:50:05.340 you can use
00:50:05.900 the courts
00:50:06.360 to keep
00:50:06.780 somebody on
00:50:07.280 the ballot
00:50:07.640 when they
00:50:07.960 don't want
00:50:08.340 to be
00:50:08.560 there,
00:50:09.800 I'm no
00:50:11.120 lawyer but
00:50:13.080 if you
00:50:17.400 can force
00:50:17.940 somebody to
00:50:18.500 run for
00:50:18.880 president
00:50:19.360 who doesn't
00:50:20.520 want to,
00:50:21.960 why can't
00:50:22.540 you force
00:50:22.980 Biden to
00:50:23.860 do it?
00:50:25.220 Now my
00:50:25.620 guess is
00:50:26.380 that it
00:50:27.120 wouldn't be
00:50:27.460 as simple
00:50:27.940 as just
00:50:29.740 doing that
00:50:30.380 but as a
00:50:32.060 rhetorical
00:50:32.960 question,
00:50:34.920 it's kind
00:50:35.600 of awesome.
00:50:36.620 I don't know
00:50:37.320 why I didn't
00:50:37.640 think about it.
00:50:38.780 It's just
00:50:39.300 sort of a
00:50:39.720 good idea
00:50:40.200 to at
00:50:41.200 least look
00:50:41.580 into it.
00:50:42.840 At the
00:50:43.340 very least,
00:50:43.840 I'd be like
00:50:44.400 hmm, I
00:50:45.700 wonder if
00:50:46.040 there's any
00:50:46.420 obvious reason
00:50:47.220 you can't
00:50:47.660 do this.
00:50:48.680 I would
00:50:48.960 definitely
00:50:49.220 look into
00:50:49.720 it.
00:50:50.100 I don't
00:50:50.520 think it's
00:50:51.240 a practical
00:50:52.260 idea, but
00:50:54.520 wouldn't you
00:50:54.900 like to
00:50:55.280 know?
00:50:57.840 Well,
00:50:58.460 apparently
00:50:59.020 RFK Jr.
00:51:00.600 reveals,
00:51:01.880 according to
00:51:02.400 Colin Rugg,
00:51:03.680 that it'll
00:51:05.660 cost him
00:51:06.000 another $10
00:51:06.540 million to
00:51:07.380 defend against
00:51:08.320 Democrats who
00:51:09.580 wanted to keep
00:51:10.140 him off the
00:51:10.780 ballot.
00:51:11.660 So he's
00:51:11.980 going to be
00:51:12.260 fighting two
00:51:12.880 cases to
00:51:14.620 be taken
00:51:15.060 off and
00:51:15.580 to be
00:51:15.860 kept on.
00:51:18.320 It's just
00:51:18.980 whatever RFK
00:51:19.860 Jr. does,
00:51:20.540 somebody's going
00:51:20.980 to sue him
00:51:21.420 for it.
00:51:24.180 And then,
00:51:24.880 of course,
00:51:25.180 Jack Smith
00:51:26.140 filing the
00:51:29.060 new indictment
00:51:29.680 against Trump
00:51:30.240 just 70
00:51:30.820 days before
00:51:31.660 the election.
00:51:32.920 Some say
00:51:33.540 that should
00:51:33.940 never be
00:51:34.380 done.
00:51:36.420 Of course,
00:51:37.160 we know that
00:51:37.580 Zuckerberg
00:51:38.060 confirmed that
00:51:38.900 the Biden
00:51:39.260 administration
00:51:39.880 had pressured
00:51:41.140 him to
00:51:42.060 censor.
00:51:43.880 And we
00:51:44.600 know that
00:51:45.060 the media
00:51:45.540 has launched
00:51:46.280 a bunch of
00:51:46.840 slander campaigns
00:51:47.920 against RFK
00:51:49.060 Jr.,
00:51:50.060 especially
00:51:50.580 because he
00:51:51.620 cut the
00:51:52.260 head off
00:51:52.760 a whale.
00:51:55.720 Now,
00:51:56.620 if you
00:51:58.040 follow that
00:51:58.500 story about
00:51:59.200 RFK Jr.
00:52:00.180 found a
00:52:00.560 dead whale
00:52:01.020 and he
00:52:01.500 used a
00:52:01.820 chainsaw to
00:52:02.420 cut his
00:52:02.740 head off
00:52:03.160 and he
00:52:03.940 tried to
00:52:04.260 take it
00:52:04.540 home with
00:52:04.920 him because
00:52:05.320 he had
00:52:06.160 some interest
00:52:06.700 in large
00:52:07.980 marine skulls,
00:52:09.180 I don't
00:52:10.160 know what he
00:52:10.440 was going to
00:52:10.700 use it for,
00:52:11.260 but it's
00:52:12.380 none of
00:52:12.640 my business.
00:52:15.060 So you
00:52:15.760 know what
00:52:15.960 this story
00:52:16.360 didn't
00:52:16.680 include?
00:52:17.480 It didn't
00:52:17.980 tell us
00:52:18.500 what kind
00:52:19.160 of whale
00:52:19.500 it was.
00:52:20.840 Weren't
00:52:21.100 you curious?
00:52:22.680 The only
00:52:23.220 thing we
00:52:23.520 know for
00:52:23.840 sure is
00:52:24.200 that it
00:52:24.620 wasn't a
00:52:25.100 sperm
00:52:25.340 whale.
00:52:25.620 you know
00:52:28.260 why?
00:52:33.340 It didn't
00:52:33.960 try to
00:52:34.280 hump back.
00:52:35.460 Okay,
00:52:35.840 that's
00:52:36.100 sort of
00:52:36.540 a pun.
00:52:37.000 It
00:52:37.080 didn't
00:52:37.240 work.
00:52:40.080 The
00:52:40.560 Republican
00:52:40.980 National
00:52:41.380 Committee
00:52:41.720 is suing
00:52:43.160 the Detroit
00:52:44.580 Election
00:52:45.020 Commission
00:52:45.540 because
00:52:46.680 apparently
00:52:47.340 the law
00:52:47.980 says that
00:52:48.600 they should
00:52:48.940 try to
00:52:49.240 hire as
00:52:49.620 many
00:52:50.000 Democrat
00:52:51.260 poll workers
00:52:52.000 as Republican
00:52:52.820 poll workers.
00:52:53.600 How'd they
00:52:53.880 do?
00:52:54.560 Well,
00:52:54.840 they hired
00:52:55.220 seven times
00:52:56.000 more Democrats
00:52:56.920 than Republicans
00:52:58.020 which is
00:52:58.820 breaking the
00:53:00.460 law.
00:53:01.460 So they're
00:53:01.720 being sued
00:53:02.360 for that.
00:53:03.760 But here's
00:53:04.200 the amazing
00:53:04.620 part of the
00:53:05.080 story.
00:53:05.580 The amazing
00:53:06.300 part of the
00:53:06.780 story is
00:53:07.140 not that
00:53:07.820 the Detroit
00:53:08.520 election people
00:53:09.300 broke the
00:53:09.840 law and
00:53:11.040 stacked it
00:53:11.680 with Democrat
00:53:12.380 poll watchers
00:53:13.220 which is
00:53:13.620 every red
00:53:14.760 flag in the
00:53:15.280 world.
00:53:16.000 The surprising
00:53:16.840 thing to me
00:53:17.480 was there
00:53:19.440 are Republicans
00:53:20.100 in Detroit?
00:53:22.580 Wait a
00:53:23.280 minute.
00:53:23.880 There are
00:53:24.760 Republicans.
00:53:26.020 Republicans
00:53:26.640 in Detroit?
00:53:29.320 What are you
00:53:30.180 doing there?
00:53:31.660 Do you need
00:53:32.300 help getting
00:53:32.760 out?
00:53:34.960 Does somebody
00:53:35.820 need some
00:53:37.040 escape plan?
00:53:39.220 Why'd they
00:53:39.840 even get one
00:53:40.540 out of seven?
00:53:41.800 I don't
00:53:42.100 understand that
00:53:42.700 part.
00:53:45.060 Well,
00:53:45.340 Kamala Harris,
00:53:46.040 as you know,
00:53:46.460 has agreed to
00:53:46.940 do one
00:53:47.660 interview with
00:53:49.440 Dana Bash
00:53:50.320 of CNN.
00:53:51.280 Okay,
00:53:51.700 so she'll
00:53:52.100 do an
00:53:52.640 interview with
00:53:53.520 a friendly
00:53:54.660 interviewer,
00:53:55.620 but I do
00:53:56.300 trust that
00:53:56.840 Dana Bash
00:53:57.340 will ask
00:53:57.900 at least a
00:53:58.900 few hard
00:53:59.320 hitting
00:53:59.500 questions.
00:54:00.140 It would
00:54:00.640 be embarrassing
00:54:01.420 if she
00:54:01.800 didn't.
00:54:03.160 But the
00:54:03.820 best reframe
00:54:05.280 of the day
00:54:05.800 and funniest
00:54:06.500 comments comes
00:54:07.340 from CNN,
00:54:08.780 what would
00:54:10.660 you call
00:54:10.960 him,
00:54:11.460 a guest
00:54:13.500 analyst?
00:54:15.800 I guess
00:54:16.180 an analyst
00:54:16.580 maybe.
00:54:17.580 So CNN
00:54:18.100 analyst who
00:54:19.580 is a
00:54:20.560 Republican,
00:54:21.240 I believe,
00:54:21.900 Scott Jennings
00:54:22.720 refers to
00:54:25.480 Kamala Harris
00:54:27.660 bringing her
00:54:28.440 vice president
00:54:29.220 to the
00:54:30.580 first big
00:54:31.260 interview as
00:54:32.820 an emotional
00:54:34.720 support animal.
00:54:35.700 Scott Jennings
00:54:39.820 called VP
00:54:42.140 Walsh an
00:54:43.740 emotional
00:54:44.160 support
00:54:44.680 animal.
00:54:48.940 Is that
00:54:49.800 perfect?
00:54:52.800 I've been
00:54:53.560 watching Scott
00:54:54.240 Jennings a
00:54:54.780 lot lately
00:54:55.280 because he
00:54:56.200 makes a lot
00:54:56.620 of news
00:54:57.000 being the
00:54:57.540 contrarian
00:54:58.220 on the
00:54:58.600 CNN panels.
00:55:00.260 And I
00:55:01.020 feel like
00:55:01.560 he's doing
00:55:01.980 like a real
00:55:03.500 solid job
00:55:04.260 lately.
00:55:05.700 But this
00:55:06.940 is some
00:55:07.240 really good
00:55:07.680 work,
00:55:09.200 an emotional
00:55:10.000 support
00:55:10.560 animal.
00:55:11.180 You cannot
00:55:11.860 see him
00:55:12.440 the same
00:55:12.860 after that.
00:55:14.680 Right?
00:55:16.600 It sums
00:55:17.760 it up so
00:55:18.360 perfectly that
00:55:19.680 you'll always
00:55:20.320 think it every
00:55:21.020 time you see
00:55:21.560 him now.
00:55:22.600 And I feel
00:55:23.240 like I might
00:55:23.800 start referring
00:55:24.580 to him that
00:55:25.200 way, even
00:55:27.320 out of this
00:55:27.860 context, because
00:55:29.440 calling him an
00:55:30.140 emotional support
00:55:31.060 animal, you
00:55:32.260 know, when
00:55:32.480 the VP job
00:55:33.360 is not
00:55:34.240 terribly important
00:55:35.140 to begin
00:55:35.600 with, and
00:55:36.640 then she
00:55:36.900 brings him
00:55:37.360 along on
00:55:37.780 the interview.
00:55:38.940 That's kind
00:55:39.700 of perfect.
00:55:41.280 So Scott
00:55:41.780 Jennings, you
00:55:45.660 know, I like
00:55:46.940 it when people
00:55:47.520 bring the name
00:55:48.460 Scott into a
00:55:49.580 good place.
00:55:51.220 You know, you
00:55:51.460 do some good
00:55:52.040 work and then
00:55:52.660 the name Scott
00:55:53.320 gets elevated.
00:55:55.740 I'd like to
00:55:56.520 apologize to
00:55:57.300 Scott Jennings
00:55:58.340 for ruining
00:55:59.140 the name Scott
00:56:00.040 personally, but
00:56:03.880 maybe he can
00:56:04.380 bring it
00:56:04.720 back.
00:56:07.960 Anyway, you
00:56:10.660 know how the
00:56:12.760 press and now
00:56:13.820 a lot of
00:56:14.140 Republicans are
00:56:14.880 saying that
00:56:15.260 Kamala Harris
00:56:15.800 was or is
00:56:17.220 the border
00:56:18.120 czar, but as
00:56:20.120 soon as it
00:56:20.620 looked like the
00:56:21.100 border wasn't
00:56:21.640 working out,
00:56:22.740 she was no
00:56:23.240 longer the
00:56:23.720 border czar,
00:56:24.520 according to
00:56:25.060 her friendly
00:56:25.640 press.
00:56:26.560 She was, are
00:56:27.260 you kidding?
00:56:27.860 She was never
00:56:28.360 the border
00:56:29.080 czar.
00:56:30.580 She was only
00:56:31.300 in charge of
00:56:32.120 the root cause
00:56:32.980 stuff.
00:56:33.280 You know, the
00:56:34.840 important part.
00:56:38.700 So here's the
00:56:39.700 defense to that.
00:56:41.100 If you would
00:56:41.520 like to push
00:56:42.200 back on the
00:56:42.920 accusation that
00:56:43.820 she was not
00:56:44.320 really the
00:56:45.160 border czar,
00:56:46.580 here would be
00:56:47.100 the correct
00:56:47.620 frame.
00:56:49.740 Being a
00:56:50.380 half czar is
00:56:51.160 more of a
00:56:51.620 failure than
00:56:52.200 being a full
00:56:52.840 czar if it's
00:56:54.480 your team that's
00:56:55.200 in power.
00:56:57.040 Now, if she
00:56:57.900 was not on the
00:56:58.620 team that was
00:56:59.100 in power, as
00:57:00.020 in the Biden
00:57:00.520 administration,
00:57:01.180 and somebody
00:57:02.540 said, we're
00:57:02.980 going to make
00:57:03.280 you half
00:57:03.720 czar, what
00:57:04.960 do you mean
00:57:05.160 half czar?
00:57:06.400 Well, you'll
00:57:06.760 be in charge
00:57:07.580 of the root
00:57:08.040 causes, but
00:57:09.720 nothing about
00:57:10.480 the actual
00:57:11.080 border crossings.
00:57:13.800 And then she
00:57:14.540 would say,
00:57:15.160 well, it would
00:57:15.920 be a lot
00:57:16.400 better if I
00:57:17.720 were in charge
00:57:18.140 of the whole
00:57:18.520 thing.
00:57:19.520 No, you're
00:57:20.140 just, you're
00:57:20.740 going to be
00:57:20.960 a half czar.
00:57:22.380 Well, it would
00:57:23.060 make sense if
00:57:24.020 you're, if you
00:57:24.700 were not on the
00:57:25.440 team that was
00:57:25.960 in charge.
00:57:26.580 But if the
00:57:27.860 team that's
00:57:28.400 in charge decides
00:57:30.500 that the good
00:57:31.180 way to approach
00:57:31.960 it is with
00:57:32.660 half a czar,
00:57:33.820 that's worse
00:57:35.080 than not being
00:57:36.060 a fucking czar
00:57:36.900 at all.
00:57:38.200 That's worse.
00:57:39.760 In every way,
00:57:40.940 it's worse that
00:57:42.300 she was on the
00:57:42.940 team that decided
00:57:43.840 a half czar
00:57:44.620 was a good
00:57:45.140 idea.
00:57:46.540 Now, you
00:57:46.940 could say,
00:57:47.440 okay, you
00:57:48.620 know, don't
00:57:49.400 call me a
00:57:49.940 czar because
00:57:51.240 it's only half
00:57:52.060 the job, but
00:57:53.140 half czar is
00:57:54.040 the dumbest
00:57:54.660 fucking thing
00:57:55.320 you could ever
00:57:55.860 do.
00:57:57.580 Nobody, nobody
00:57:58.620 in corporate
00:57:59.100 America would
00:58:00.660 ever agree to
00:58:01.520 a half czar
00:58:02.320 when the topic
00:58:04.200 obviously is,
00:58:05.080 you know, related
00:58:05.780 in so many
00:58:06.420 ways.
00:58:06.980 The moving
00:58:07.360 parts are all
00:58:08.100 related.
00:58:09.220 Of course, you
00:58:10.060 would have a
00:58:10.560 half, you
00:58:11.260 would have a
00:58:11.680 full czar.
00:58:13.680 That, that
00:58:14.360 would be like
00:58:14.780 having a
00:58:16.000 drug czar
00:58:16.880 for just
00:58:19.520 marijuana.
00:58:21.660 Like, everybody
00:58:22.440 would just say,
00:58:23.000 well, that's
00:58:23.380 stupid.
00:58:24.300 I mean, obviously
00:58:25.060 you need to do
00:58:25.840 everything.
00:58:27.580 A half
00:58:28.340 a czar?
00:58:29.820 Come on.
00:58:31.420 All right.
00:58:32.440 Rasmussen did
00:58:33.200 a poll on
00:58:33.920 how many
00:58:35.780 people think
00:58:36.420 their state
00:58:38.620 has done
00:58:38.960 enough to
00:58:39.580 prevent voting
00:58:40.700 by illegal
00:58:41.540 immigrants.
00:58:42.040 immigrants.
00:58:43.160 So 32% said
00:58:45.340 they don't
00:58:45.660 think their
00:58:46.080 state has
00:58:46.620 done enough
00:58:47.160 to prevent
00:58:47.880 illegal immigrants
00:58:48.920 from voting.
00:58:50.600 Well, 20%
00:58:51.660 say they've
00:58:52.380 announced some
00:58:52.900 steps, but
00:58:53.480 not enough.
00:58:54.060 So that's a
00:58:54.680 whole bunch
00:58:55.120 of people
00:58:55.540 who worry
00:58:56.740 that there'll
00:58:57.520 be illegal
00:58:58.280 people voting.
00:58:59.960 now, I
00:59:02.300 just saw
00:59:02.700 there's
00:59:03.000 some guy,
00:59:04.040 I think he
00:59:04.340 works at
00:59:04.780 Meta and
00:59:05.580 AI, whose
00:59:07.740 full-time job
00:59:08.940 is to do
00:59:09.620 asshole posts
00:59:11.160 about Elon
00:59:12.000 Musk.
00:59:12.840 So whatever
00:59:13.460 Elon Musk
00:59:14.140 says, this
00:59:15.540 guy will come
00:59:16.140 in and act
00:59:16.740 like he's
00:59:17.220 dumb.
00:59:18.200 It's the
00:59:18.540 weirdest thing
00:59:19.120 because he's
00:59:19.560 obvious, you
00:59:20.080 know, if we
00:59:20.820 did an IQ
00:59:21.360 test, I think
00:59:22.800 he'd beat
00:59:23.180 me.
00:59:23.420 I mean, if
00:59:25.560 you're the
00:59:25.800 guy who's
00:59:26.180 in charge
00:59:26.560 of AI at
00:59:27.340 Meta, you're
00:59:29.080 going to be
00:59:29.580 really smart.
00:59:31.060 But he plays
00:59:31.800 a guy who
00:59:32.280 doesn't know
00:59:32.680 anything about
00:59:33.180 anything on
00:59:34.220 X, and it's
00:59:35.200 weird.
00:59:35.640 I don't know
00:59:36.220 exactly how
00:59:36.880 to process
00:59:38.940 the fact that
00:59:39.680 he acts so
00:59:40.220 stupid in
00:59:40.760 public, but
00:59:42.060 he can't
00:59:42.420 be.
00:59:43.940 There's just
00:59:44.620 no way he's
00:59:45.480 not super
00:59:46.460 smart in
00:59:46.960 real life.
00:59:49.780 But one
00:59:52.340 of the
00:59:52.520 things he
00:59:53.000 said is
00:59:53.740 that there's
00:59:54.120 no such
00:59:54.560 thing as
00:59:55.200 non-citizens
00:59:56.260 voting.
00:59:57.900 And I
00:59:58.480 said to
00:59:58.760 myself,
00:59:59.980 what?
01:00:02.580 Does he
01:00:03.180 not know
01:00:03.580 that the
01:00:03.960 news is
01:00:04.480 currently
01:00:04.920 reporting a
01:00:05.780 whole bunch
01:00:06.200 of people
01:00:06.660 who are
01:00:07.120 non-citizens
01:00:07.840 did in
01:00:09.000 fact vote
01:00:09.560 and got
01:00:09.920 caught?
01:00:11.380 Now, if
01:00:12.140 he had
01:00:12.880 said it's
01:00:14.560 a very
01:00:14.840 small number,
01:00:16.180 then I
01:00:17.100 would say,
01:00:17.660 well, now
01:00:17.980 you're in
01:00:18.260 the ballpark
01:00:18.900 of a real
01:00:19.780 argument.
01:00:20.560 I don't
01:00:20.920 know if it's
01:00:21.380 a big
01:00:21.640 number.
01:00:21.940 I don't
01:00:23.020 know that
01:00:23.400 it's a
01:00:23.680 small number.
01:00:24.680 But if
01:00:25.240 that's his
01:00:25.680 claim, that
01:00:26.760 there's no
01:00:27.160 evidence it's
01:00:27.840 anything but
01:00:28.320 a small
01:00:28.700 number, I
01:00:29.240 would say,
01:00:29.580 well, okay,
01:00:32.040 that's not
01:00:32.460 too far from
01:00:33.060 the truth.
01:00:34.740 We don't
01:00:35.380 know if it's
01:00:36.280 a big
01:00:36.560 number.
01:00:37.780 That is
01:00:38.360 true.
01:00:39.400 But we
01:00:39.980 know for
01:00:40.480 sure it's
01:00:40.880 happening in
01:00:41.680 a large
01:00:42.580 enough number
01:00:43.280 that being
01:00:45.060 concerned about
01:00:45.760 it is not
01:00:46.260 crazy.
01:00:46.640 But on
01:00:47.660 top of
01:00:48.040 that, we
01:00:49.780 have learned
01:00:50.560 or we
01:00:50.980 think we've
01:00:51.500 learned that
01:00:51.960 the real
01:00:52.340 play might
01:00:53.780 be that the
01:00:54.660 states that
01:00:55.560 are up to
01:00:56.580 some
01:00:57.040 shenanigans
01:00:57.920 allegedly
01:00:58.840 could use
01:01:00.820 multiple
01:01:01.520 databases to
01:01:03.240 make sure
01:01:03.700 that the
01:01:04.340 voter rolls
01:01:05.260 are rigged,
01:01:06.640 meaning that
01:01:07.380 make sure the
01:01:08.100 non-citizens are
01:01:09.140 put on the
01:01:09.620 voting rolls in
01:01:10.580 an automated
01:01:11.300 way.
01:01:12.100 This is a
01:01:12.780 specific claim
01:01:13.580 by some
01:01:14.060 people who
01:01:14.940 seem to have
01:01:15.460 investigated it.
01:01:16.640 I can't
01:01:17.700 confirm it's
01:01:18.480 true.
01:01:19.640 But the
01:01:20.040 claim is that
01:01:20.980 it would be
01:01:21.380 more about
01:01:21.860 using their
01:01:22.460 names and
01:01:23.080 having somebody
01:01:23.700 illegally vote
01:01:24.580 for them.
01:01:25.400 It's not so
01:01:26.180 much that they
01:01:27.100 would consider
01:01:27.740 themselves voters
01:01:28.720 and go in
01:01:29.240 and vote.
01:01:30.440 My guess is
01:01:31.480 that that
01:01:31.980 number of
01:01:32.440 people won't
01:01:32.920 be big.
01:01:34.080 The number
01:01:34.540 who just,
01:01:36.040 hey, they
01:01:36.780 told me I
01:01:37.220 could vote,
01:01:37.760 I'll give it
01:01:38.120 a shot.
01:01:39.140 And then they
01:01:39.580 go in with
01:01:40.060 their Central
01:01:40.660 America ID
01:01:41.500 and they
01:01:42.300 vote.
01:01:43.340 I don't
01:01:43.700 think there
01:01:44.300 would be a
01:01:44.560 ton of
01:01:44.860 them.
01:01:45.460 But there
01:01:47.120 could be a
01:01:47.620 ton of
01:01:48.020 fake names
01:01:48.900 used as
01:01:50.000 fake votes
01:01:50.560 and they
01:01:51.400 could be
01:01:51.700 part of
01:01:52.000 that.
01:01:54.160 I don't
01:01:54.740 know how
01:01:55.040 you would
01:01:55.360 rule out
01:01:55.780 that possibility
01:01:56.580 in a way
01:01:57.820 that I'd
01:01:58.200 believe it.

01:02:11.740 Scotiabank,
01:02:12.380 you're richer

01:02:13.440 Anyway,
01:02:15.140 Robert F.
01:02:18.640 Kennedy is
01:02:19.300 saying that
01:02:21.420 there's a
01:02:21.800 mental health
01:02:22.280 crisis in
01:02:22.920 America and
01:02:24.180 he wants to
01:02:24.920 work with
01:02:25.620 Cali Means.
01:02:27.500 It's a name
01:02:28.040 you may have
01:02:28.460 heard recently.
01:02:30.260 So Cali Means
01:02:31.160 is sort of big
01:02:32.180 in this space
01:02:33.020 about mental
01:02:34.760 health crisis
01:02:35.420 in America.
01:02:36.160 And as you
01:02:37.740 know, the
01:02:38.800 young people
01:02:39.340 went from
01:02:40.020 some kind
01:02:40.920 of baseline
01:02:41.480 historically
01:02:42.100 to wow,
01:02:43.940 tons and
01:02:45.220 tons of
01:02:45.620 mental health
01:02:46.120 problems in
01:02:46.800 more recent
01:02:47.420 years.
01:02:48.380 And he's
01:02:50.140 going to
01:02:50.400 work on
01:02:50.760 it with
01:02:51.080 the help
01:02:51.460 of Trump
01:02:52.540 and Cali
01:02:53.960 Means.
01:02:54.240 Now, I
01:02:56.620 don't know
01:02:56.920 about Cali
01:02:57.660 Means, but
01:02:59.140 if Cali
01:03:00.360 was ever
01:03:01.780 a Democrat
01:03:02.560 or was
01:03:03.440 ever anything
01:03:04.620 on the
01:03:05.440 right, I
01:03:06.000 don't know.
01:03:07.000 But I'm
01:03:08.400 loving my
01:03:08.940 pirate ship.
01:03:10.720 So you
01:03:11.340 tell me that
01:03:12.120 RFK Jr.,
01:03:13.520 Trump, and
01:03:14.240 Cali Means
01:03:14.920 are all going
01:03:15.400 to be on
01:03:15.660 the same
01:03:16.080 project, or
01:03:17.860 at least
01:03:18.080 they have
01:03:18.960 that one
01:03:19.300 thing in
01:03:19.680 common.
01:03:20.140 I say,
01:03:20.940 yes.
01:03:22.020 Okay.
01:03:22.380 That gives
01:03:23.080 me some
01:03:23.460 optimism that
01:03:24.760 really serious
01:03:25.640 people who
01:03:26.340 are willing
01:03:26.760 to do
01:03:27.120 really often
01:03:28.500 dangerous
01:03:29.020 things to
01:03:30.040 get something
01:03:30.520 good are
01:03:31.980 on the
01:03:32.380 job.
01:03:33.340 Good for
01:03:33.980 them.
01:03:35.920 Well, you
01:03:36.600 probably saw
01:03:37.000 the undercover
01:03:37.620 video.
01:03:39.720 Was it
01:03:40.220 what was
01:03:45.820 what's the
01:03:47.360 organization
01:03:47.860 that does
01:03:49.220 the undercover
01:03:49.740 videos?
01:03:50.400 I'm blanking
01:03:50.840 on that.
01:03:52.380 well, you'll
01:03:54.420 tell me.
01:03:55.740 You know, the
01:03:56.580 famous undercover
01:03:57.980 video that
01:03:59.100 they're, why
01:04:01.120 am I blanking
01:04:01.700 on that?
01:04:02.180 You know what
01:04:02.540 I mean.
01:04:02.860 Project
01:04:03.240 Veritas.
01:04:04.280 So Project
01:04:05.140 Veritas is
01:04:07.380 still ongoing,
01:04:08.460 although their
01:04:08.980 leader left to
01:04:10.880 the OMG
01:04:11.620 platform that
01:04:13.140 he created.
01:04:14.320 All right.
01:04:14.760 But Project
01:04:15.740 Veritas is still
01:04:16.640 in business.
01:04:17.740 And I think
01:04:18.300 it was them,
01:04:19.060 pretty sure.
01:04:19.820 Give me a
01:04:20.200 fact check if
01:04:20.780 I have that
01:04:21.120 wrong.
01:04:23.360 But it was
01:04:23.940 Project
01:04:24.320 Veritas,
01:04:24.900 not OMG
01:04:25.500 on this
01:04:26.280 one.
01:04:27.340 I don't
01:04:27.920 want to mix
01:04:28.360 those up
01:04:28.840 because that
01:04:29.260 would be
01:04:29.620 no fair to
01:04:31.920 O'Keefe if
01:04:33.060 I did.
01:04:34.740 But anyway,
01:04:35.140 there's an
01:04:35.420 undercover video
01:04:36.180 showing that
01:04:37.180 the FDA,
01:04:39.320 an FDA
01:04:39.940 attorney knows
01:04:41.060 that they
01:04:41.400 never should
01:04:41.900 have told the
01:04:42.320 American public
01:04:43.000 not to take
01:04:44.060 ivermectin.
01:04:45.000 and that
01:04:46.160 the reason
01:04:46.680 presumably was
01:04:47.980 so that
01:04:48.720 people would
01:04:49.160 be taking
01:04:50.520 their vaccinations
01:04:51.420 and not
01:04:52.340 knowing that
01:04:52.840 there might
01:04:53.360 be some
01:04:53.840 alternate.
01:04:55.220 Now,
01:04:55.680 how many of
01:04:56.680 you are
01:04:56.940 convinced that
01:04:57.680 ivermectin is
01:04:58.700 proven to have
01:04:59.900 been a real
01:05:01.240 effective treatment
01:05:02.600 against COVID?
01:05:03.600 How many of
01:05:05.820 you think that
01:05:06.400 that's a proven
01:05:07.700 thing, that it
01:05:09.620 worked against
01:05:10.200 COVID?
01:05:10.520 I know
01:05:11.700 there have
01:05:11.920 been some
01:05:12.280 studies, but
01:05:14.360 I'm still on
01:05:15.200 the page of
01:05:16.500 no data about
01:05:17.460 the pandemic
01:05:18.100 can be
01:05:19.140 trusted.
01:05:20.240 So I'm not
01:05:21.020 going to make
01:05:21.280 an exception
01:05:21.760 because it
01:05:22.320 agrees with
01:05:22.980 something I
01:05:23.700 would love to
01:05:24.180 be true.
01:05:25.560 Part of me
01:05:26.300 wants it to
01:05:26.880 be true that
01:05:27.600 the ivermectin
01:05:28.360 is real
01:05:28.740 effective and
01:05:30.380 would have
01:05:30.940 saved a lot
01:05:31.420 of lives,
01:05:32.660 but it's
01:05:34.660 based on
01:05:35.080 data.
01:05:36.420 So I'm
01:05:37.280 not willing to
01:05:38.060 accept a
01:05:38.600 data argument
01:05:39.200 about it.
01:05:40.520 anything in
01:05:41.100 the pandemic.
01:05:42.080 I feel like I
01:05:43.100 need to be
01:05:43.500 consistent about
01:05:44.320 that because
01:05:45.400 the problem is
01:05:45.980 data.
01:05:46.980 The problem is
01:05:47.740 not necessarily
01:05:48.800 even the people
01:05:49.400 having bad
01:05:49.940 intentions.
01:05:51.040 I just, I
01:05:51.700 don't think we
01:05:52.100 know anything.
01:05:53.340 That's what it
01:05:54.000 feels like.
01:05:56.300 But I don't, I
01:05:57.440 don't rule
01:05:57.800 anything out and
01:05:58.420 I just don't
01:05:59.360 trust data.
01:06:02.460 An account
01:06:03.180 called Carnivore
01:06:04.180 Aurelius notes
01:06:06.080 eight ingredients
01:06:07.140 that are
01:06:08.440 banned in
01:06:09.000 almost every
01:06:09.440 country except
01:06:09.960 the USA.
01:06:10.520 So here's
01:06:11.160 the claim.
01:06:12.300 Now see if
01:06:12.800 you've heard
01:06:13.140 any of these
01:06:13.680 coloring agents
01:06:14.780 like blue
01:06:15.780 one, two,
01:06:16.780 yellow, five
01:06:17.360 and yellow,
01:06:17.820 six.
01:06:18.160 Those are
01:06:18.460 banned.
01:06:19.360 Something called
01:06:20.000 Olestra.
01:06:21.920 I think that's
01:06:23.000 the stuff in
01:06:23.500 potato chips.
01:06:25.340 Brominated
01:06:25.860 vegetable oil.
01:06:27.300 That doesn't
01:06:27.800 sound good.
01:06:28.740 Potassium
01:06:29.260 bromate.
01:06:30.980 Well, the
01:06:33.000 potassium part
01:06:33.920 sounds cool and
01:06:35.500 I like having a
01:06:36.260 bromate.
01:06:37.580 Hey, bro.
01:06:39.240 Hello, mate.
01:06:41.580 So bromate
01:06:42.520 sounds like it'd
01:06:43.100 be a good
01:06:43.460 thing, but
01:06:43.880 apparently not.
01:06:45.080 And then, of
01:06:45.460 course, you have
01:06:45.860 to watch out for
01:06:46.440 the azodicarbonamide.
01:06:51.080 Azacobardamide.
01:06:51.940 Let me say that
01:06:52.580 again perfectly.
01:06:57.760 Azodicarbonamide.
01:06:58.540 Yeah, you don't
01:06:58.960 want to eat that.
01:07:00.220 And then the
01:07:00.820 BHA and the
01:07:01.580 BHD.
01:07:02.220 No idea.
01:07:03.240 Synthetic hormones.
01:07:04.560 What?
01:07:05.000 And arsenic.
01:07:07.140 What?
01:07:08.900 I'm starting to
01:07:10.000 think they're
01:07:10.420 trying to poison
01:07:11.160 us.
01:07:12.360 So presumably
01:07:13.400 there isn't that
01:07:14.320 much arsenic.
01:07:15.480 I don't know.
01:07:16.000 How much is the
01:07:16.620 right amount of
01:07:17.160 arsenic?
01:07:19.620 Well, I don't
01:07:20.420 know anything about
01:07:21.120 the science of
01:07:21.960 these various
01:07:22.560 things, but I'm
01:07:23.680 certainly concerned
01:07:24.540 that they're banned
01:07:25.180 in every other
01:07:25.740 country.
01:07:26.640 But you know
01:07:28.440 how we always
01:07:29.080 say, hey,
01:07:30.900 Europe has all
01:07:31.680 this healthy
01:07:32.140 food and we
01:07:32.880 have unhealthy
01:07:33.440 food.
01:07:33.840 here is what
01:07:35.780 I haven't
01:07:36.520 seen, that
01:07:38.200 the life
01:07:38.760 expectancy in
01:07:39.700 Europe is way
01:07:40.400 better than
01:07:40.840 America.
01:07:42.200 If you make
01:07:45.260 sure you're
01:07:45.620 looking at
01:07:45.980 similar groups
01:07:46.780 of people,
01:07:47.520 similar socioeconomic
01:07:49.440 groups, for
01:07:50.100 example.
01:07:51.300 Is that true?
01:07:53.240 Are people in
01:07:54.280 Europe experiencing
01:07:55.920 longer lifespans
01:07:57.560 because their
01:07:58.040 food is better
01:07:58.680 and less
01:08:00.580 mental health
01:08:01.220 problems?
01:08:01.740 I don't
01:08:03.600 know what
01:08:03.840 to believe.
01:08:04.460 Again, there's
01:08:05.400 a gigantic
01:08:06.600 data integrity
01:08:08.380 problem.
01:08:09.060 I just don't
01:08:09.520 know what
01:08:09.760 to believe.
01:08:11.520 But it
01:08:14.020 does make
01:08:14.400 sense to me
01:08:14.960 that the
01:08:15.360 more of
01:08:15.720 these weird
01:08:16.480 chemicals you
01:08:17.120 put in your
01:08:17.480 body, the
01:08:18.000 harder your
01:08:18.400 body is going
01:08:18.880 to have to
01:08:19.300 work to
01:08:20.580 figure it
01:08:21.020 all out.
01:08:22.100 So it does
01:08:22.820 make sense
01:08:23.280 that the
01:08:23.660 fewer strange
01:08:24.460 things you put
01:08:25.000 in your body,
01:08:25.520 the better.
01:08:25.740 Reuters is
01:08:28.340 reporting that
01:08:29.280 there was
01:08:29.640 some kind
01:08:31.480 of a
01:08:31.900 class action
01:08:33.580 suit against
01:08:34.280 X and
01:08:35.120 Elon Musk
01:08:35.840 for allegedly
01:08:37.640 firing more
01:08:38.900 female engineers
01:08:40.040 than male
01:08:41.040 when he did
01:08:41.960 his massive
01:08:42.540 layoffs,
01:08:43.920 and in
01:08:46.340 the context
01:08:46.940 of having
01:08:47.480 made alleged
01:08:48.760 sexist
01:08:49.460 comments in
01:08:50.500 the past.
01:08:51.660 Now, the
01:08:52.280 alleged sexist
01:08:53.220 comments were
01:08:54.560 not related
01:08:55.240 to any of
01:08:55.740 these firings
01:08:56.440 of engineers.
01:08:57.440 They were
01:08:57.660 separate.
01:08:58.700 But the
01:08:59.260 engineers, the
01:09:00.500 ladies, said,
01:09:02.160 well, if he
01:09:02.760 said sexist
01:09:03.560 things in a
01:09:04.120 different context
01:09:04.960 and then more
01:09:06.220 as a percentage,
01:09:07.680 more of the
01:09:08.060 female engineers
01:09:09.280 got fired than
01:09:09.920 the men, well,
01:09:11.920 we got ourselves
01:09:12.740 a class action
01:09:13.680 suit.
01:09:14.560 Well, the
01:09:14.920 court dismissed
01:09:15.580 it because it
01:09:16.900 turns out that
01:09:17.620 there was no
01:09:18.020 evidence that
01:09:18.620 Elon Musk had
01:09:19.860 anything to do
01:09:20.740 with selecting
01:09:21.400 who got fired.
01:09:22.300 at least at
01:09:25.040 that detail.
01:09:26.180 The individual
01:09:27.040 managers of the
01:09:28.140 departments were
01:09:28.900 deciding who
01:09:29.740 got fired.
01:09:31.360 So Musk was
01:09:32.060 not involved
01:09:32.860 at a detailed
01:09:34.220 level where
01:09:35.800 he would have
01:09:36.280 even been able
01:09:36.960 to, you
01:09:38.260 know, doing
01:09:38.740 any biased
01:09:39.500 stuff.
01:09:42.360 Anyway,
01:09:43.660 so what do
01:09:48.200 you make of
01:09:48.600 the fact that
01:09:49.360 the individual
01:09:50.340 managers,
01:09:50.980 got rid of
01:09:54.620 58% of
01:09:55.580 female engineers
01:09:56.500 compared to
01:09:57.660 40%, 45%
01:09:59.440 of male
01:09:59.820 engineers?
01:10:01.360 Do you think
01:10:02.240 they were all
01:10:02.760 exactly the
01:10:03.720 same
01:10:04.180 qualifications?
01:10:07.120 It feels
01:10:08.060 unlikely.
01:10:09.580 Do you think
01:10:10.380 that the
01:10:11.140 talent stacks
01:10:12.520 of the men
01:10:13.440 and the women
01:10:14.000 were similar?
01:10:14.780 I don't know,
01:10:17.580 but I can't
01:10:18.520 see any
01:10:18.980 manager firing
01:10:19.780 firing his
01:10:21.740 best engineers
01:10:22.780 or her
01:10:24.340 best engineers.
01:10:25.880 Why would
01:10:26.740 they do
01:10:27.040 that?
01:10:28.440 Have you
01:10:28.920 ever met
01:10:29.360 a manager
01:10:29.980 who would
01:10:32.380 fire the
01:10:33.400 good people
01:10:34.680 who are
01:10:35.040 female and
01:10:36.620 keep the
01:10:37.300 less good
01:10:38.500 people who are
01:10:39.000 male because
01:10:39.640 just wanted
01:10:40.260 more men
01:10:40.800 in America?
01:10:42.900 let me tell
01:10:45.260 you what an
01:10:45.760 American
01:10:46.160 manager says.
01:10:47.600 An American
01:10:48.480 manager says,
01:10:49.660 I definitely
01:10:50.500 want women
01:10:51.620 in the
01:10:51.980 group because
01:10:54.580 it just makes
01:10:56.020 everything work
01:10:56.600 better basically.
01:10:57.680 If you have men
01:10:58.460 and women,
01:10:59.000 it's just more
01:10:59.480 fun work
01:11:00.040 environment
01:11:00.500 generally.
01:11:01.360 It has its
01:11:01.960 cost, but
01:11:02.540 it's more
01:11:02.820 fun.
01:11:05.860 Anyway,
01:11:07.000 that was
01:11:07.620 dumb.
01:11:07.920 Axios is
01:11:10.840 reporting that
01:11:11.440 Trump's
01:11:11.960 economic plan
01:11:12.960 would add
01:11:13.380 $5.8
01:11:14.240 trillion to
01:11:14.820 national debt,
01:11:15.700 which is
01:11:16.020 already $36
01:11:17.580 trillion.
01:11:18.440 Is Trump
01:11:19.300 good for
01:11:19.820 debt?
01:11:20.720 Nope.
01:11:22.060 Is debt
01:11:22.900 the biggest
01:11:23.400 problem in
01:11:23.960 the world?
01:11:25.320 Probably.
01:11:27.120 It's the
01:11:27.880 most existentially
01:11:29.020 dangerous thing
01:11:30.600 we're doing.
01:11:31.540 Does Harris
01:11:32.520 have a plan
01:11:33.160 for the
01:11:33.540 debt?
01:11:34.800 Nope.
01:11:35.180 So neither
01:11:36.980 candidate has
01:11:37.720 a plan for
01:11:38.280 the most
01:11:38.680 important
01:11:39.120 thing.
01:11:40.600 However,
01:11:42.440 Trump does
01:11:43.180 have something
01:11:43.820 that Harris
01:11:44.360 doesn't have.
01:11:46.060 His name
01:11:46.580 is Elon
01:11:47.200 Musk, who
01:11:48.000 has already
01:11:48.620 volunteered to
01:11:49.860 see what we
01:11:51.260 can do about
01:11:51.800 cutting the
01:11:52.300 cost of
01:11:52.680 government,
01:11:53.480 which, by
01:11:55.100 the way,
01:11:55.420 would be
01:11:55.800 massively
01:11:56.300 expensive in
01:11:57.120 the short
01:11:57.500 run because
01:11:59.020 you'd be
01:12:00.240 paying all
01:12:00.700 the severances
01:12:01.360 and the
01:12:01.980 retirements
01:12:02.680 and everything,
01:12:04.260 and there'd
01:12:04.500 be a lot
01:12:04.880 of people
01:12:05.240 involved who
01:12:06.720 would lose
01:12:07.060 their jobs
01:12:07.620 and then
01:12:07.940 the unemployment
01:12:08.580 would spike.
01:12:10.060 So if
01:12:10.580 Trump did
01:12:12.060 a good job
01:12:12.940 in reducing
01:12:13.640 the size
01:12:14.160 of government,
01:12:15.380 there are
01:12:15.660 just so many
01:12:16.240 government
01:12:16.600 employees that
01:12:17.760 you wonder
01:12:18.160 if his
01:12:18.800 unemployment
01:12:19.260 numbers would
01:12:19.960 suffer.
01:12:21.880 But that's
01:12:22.780 the sort of
01:12:23.160 thing you
01:12:23.440 could do if
01:12:24.120 you're a
01:12:24.420 one-term
01:12:24.840 president like
01:12:25.760 Trump would
01:12:26.240 be,
01:12:26.860 the second
01:12:27.280 term.
01:12:28.940 Maybe you
01:12:29.540 can just
01:12:29.860 take that
01:12:30.240 hit.
01:12:30.840 In the
01:12:31.260 long run,
01:12:31.740 history would
01:12:32.300 love you.
01:12:33.120 In the
01:12:33.420 short run,
01:12:33.820 it looks bad
01:12:34.280 if you're
01:12:34.540 running for
01:12:34.940 re-election,
01:12:35.680 but he
01:12:35.880 wouldn't
01:12:36.080 be.
01:12:37.100 So if
01:12:37.460 you had
01:12:37.780 an Elon
01:12:38.220 Musk who
01:12:39.080 could just
01:12:39.520 take 80%
01:12:40.380 of the cost
01:12:40.960 out of the
01:12:41.320 government,
01:12:42.400 if you had
01:12:42.980 a President
01:12:43.480 Trump who
01:12:44.120 didn't want
01:12:44.540 to start
01:12:44.980 and finish
01:12:45.980 foreign wars,
01:12:48.320 could you
01:12:49.260 take enough
01:12:49.960 out of the
01:12:50.340 budget by
01:12:51.420 the fourth
01:12:51.900 year that
01:12:53.140 we would
01:12:53.440 have some
01:12:53.820 breathing room
01:12:54.560 and a
01:12:55.260 chance of
01:12:55.800 success?
01:12:57.080 And the
01:12:57.560 answer is
01:12:58.220 maybe.
01:12:59.700 If you're
01:13:00.320 Trump and
01:13:01.120 you do things
01:13:01.800 that could
01:13:02.160 lower the
01:13:02.720 interest
01:13:03.040 rates,
01:13:04.660 is that
01:13:05.060 going to
01:13:05.240 help your
01:13:05.820 national debt?
01:13:06.860 Yeah,
01:13:07.340 like a lot.
01:13:08.780 A lot.
01:13:09.600 If you
01:13:10.120 could renegotiate
01:13:11.060 some of it
01:13:11.680 or do
01:13:12.640 something clever
01:13:13.300 with crypto
01:13:14.220 that gives
01:13:14.720 people some
01:13:15.260 breathing room
01:13:15.840 somehow,
01:13:16.400 I don't know
01:13:16.820 exactly how,
01:13:18.220 could you do
01:13:18.700 it?
01:13:18.960 Well,
01:13:19.260 I think
01:13:19.600 Trump is
01:13:20.120 going to
01:13:20.300 be more
01:13:20.740 pro-crypto,
01:13:22.340 more pro-
01:13:23.280 experimenting,
01:13:25.200 more pro-
01:13:26.280 everything,
01:13:27.200 as long as
01:13:27.860 you can make
01:13:28.280 an argument
01:13:28.680 for it,
01:13:29.480 because he's
01:13:29.980 pretty flexible
01:13:30.980 mentally.
01:13:32.080 I like that
01:13:32.580 about him,
01:13:33.020 especially.
01:13:35.240 And maybe,
01:13:37.320 so, you
01:13:38.140 know, I can
01:13:38.580 make an
01:13:38.960 argument why
01:13:39.640 Trump might
01:13:40.140 be better
01:13:40.540 on the
01:13:40.860 national debt,
01:13:41.860 but he
01:13:42.580 hasn't.
01:13:43.760 Has he?
01:13:45.060 Has Trump
01:13:45.800 ever said,
01:13:47.120 I will be
01:13:47.940 better on the
01:13:48.500 national debt,
01:13:49.240 and here's
01:13:49.580 why?
01:13:50.560 Now, you
01:13:50.940 can make
01:13:51.240 the argument
01:13:51.740 that the
01:13:52.220 Democrats
01:13:52.620 always want
01:13:53.340 to spend
01:13:53.700 more,
01:13:54.600 but Trump
01:13:55.360 wants to
01:13:55.800 cut taxes.
01:13:57.480 I don't
01:13:57.980 know which
01:13:58.300 one would
01:13:58.620 be better
01:13:59.020 in terms
01:14:00.380 of just
01:14:00.680 the debt.
01:14:01.460 I prefer
01:14:01.920 the lower
01:14:02.340 taxes.
01:14:03.560 But it's
01:14:05.520 the number
01:14:05.860 one question,
01:14:07.040 but because
01:14:07.460 our media
01:14:09.240 doesn't
01:14:09.700 understand
01:14:10.360 the national
01:14:11.220 debt,
01:14:12.060 except it's
01:14:12.740 a big
01:14:12.960 number,
01:14:13.800 and it's
01:14:14.160 a debt,
01:14:15.260 I don't
01:14:16.280 think they're
01:14:16.620 comfortable
01:14:16.940 talking about
01:14:17.600 it.
01:14:18.540 And if
01:14:18.900 they did
01:14:19.180 talk about
01:14:19.720 it,
01:14:20.140 everything
01:14:20.500 would be
01:14:20.920 time-limited.
01:14:23.520 So if
01:14:24.120 you talk
01:14:24.420 to any
01:14:24.760 politician
01:14:25.240 about what
01:14:25.800 they would
01:14:26.040 do about
01:14:26.320 the national
01:14:26.820 debt,
01:14:27.160 they get
01:14:28.300 to run
01:14:28.620 out the
01:14:28.920 clock.
01:14:29.920 Well,
01:14:30.380 what we're
01:14:30.760 going to
01:14:30.880 do is
01:14:31.360 we're going
01:14:31.600 to do
01:14:31.740 this and
01:14:32.080 that to
01:14:32.460 do growth,
01:14:33.180 and back
01:14:33.700 in 2020
01:14:34.360 I did
01:14:34.840 this,
01:14:35.240 and I'm
01:14:35.920 going to
01:14:36.100 implement
01:14:36.420 this program.
01:14:37.680 What the
01:14:38.280 media don't
01:14:38.880 know enough
01:14:39.460 is to
01:14:39.980 say,
01:14:40.700 all right,
01:14:41.000 if you
01:14:41.320 added all
01:14:41.960 that together,
01:14:43.060 how much
01:14:43.960 do you
01:14:44.160 think that
01:14:44.480 would bring
01:14:44.780 down the
01:14:45.160 debt?
01:14:45.860 Because the
01:14:46.380 answer is
01:14:46.780 not at
01:14:47.120 all.
01:14:48.060 You could
01:14:48.620 do all
01:14:49.080 kinds of
01:14:49.720 stuff that
01:14:50.280 sound good.
01:14:51.480 You wouldn't
01:14:51.880 even get
01:14:52.220 close to it.
01:14:53.020 we're miles
01:14:54.620 away from
01:14:55.240 being able to
01:14:55.780 pay off the
01:14:56.280 debt,
01:14:56.740 miles away.
01:14:57.500 We're not
01:14:57.760 close.
01:14:58.760 It's not
01:14:59.140 like a
01:14:59.460 20%
01:15:00.000 tweak.
01:15:01.500 It's like
01:15:02.000 you really,
01:15:03.160 really,
01:15:03.440 we need to
01:15:03.800 change
01:15:04.060 everything or
01:15:05.060 you don't
01:15:05.300 have a
01:15:05.540 chance.
01:15:06.480 Now,
01:15:07.080 I think we
01:15:07.540 probably will.
01:15:08.640 We'll probably
01:15:09.160 just have to
01:15:10.320 do the hard
01:15:10.880 stuff,
01:15:11.360 maybe not
01:15:12.020 right away,
01:15:12.840 but at some
01:15:13.640 point we're
01:15:14.160 going to have
01:15:14.440 to do
01:15:14.660 something really
01:15:15.360 hard to
01:15:16.960 handle the
01:15:17.820 debt.
01:15:18.060 What I
01:15:20.260 worry about
01:15:20.980 is the
01:15:21.560 people who
01:15:21.960 know the
01:15:22.280 most know
01:15:23.180 that we'll
01:15:23.560 never pay
01:15:24.120 it back.
01:15:25.480 That's what
01:15:26.100 I worry
01:15:26.460 about.
01:15:27.220 I have
01:15:27.580 exactly one
01:15:28.640 thing that
01:15:29.140 keeps me
01:15:29.640 awake when
01:15:30.200 I think
01:15:30.560 about it.
01:15:31.660 I think
01:15:32.100 everything else
01:15:33.020 we can
01:15:33.360 handle,
01:15:34.220 from nuclear
01:15:35.020 war to
01:15:35.920 climate
01:15:37.440 change,
01:15:39.020 I think
01:15:39.480 those are
01:15:39.800 just manageable
01:15:40.680 problems.
01:15:42.420 But that
01:15:42.620 one,
01:15:45.040 in my
01:15:46.260 mind,
01:15:46.760 I don't
01:15:47.040 even have
01:15:47.620 a way
01:15:49.120 you can
01:15:49.500 do it.
01:15:51.120 I do
01:15:51.720 think we'll
01:15:52.200 probably
01:15:52.500 solve it,
01:15:53.440 because we're
01:15:53.880 good at
01:15:54.240 solving the
01:15:54.840 unsolvable
01:15:55.420 problems if
01:15:56.060 we have
01:15:56.340 time,
01:15:56.720 and I
01:15:56.920 think we
01:15:57.180 have time.
01:15:58.340 But,
01:15:59.080 wow,
01:15:59.560 I've got a
01:16:01.600 good
01:16:01.840 imagination,
01:16:03.360 and I
01:16:03.700 can't imagine
01:16:04.320 a way to
01:16:04.700 solve it.
01:16:05.920 So what I
01:16:06.440 worry about
01:16:07.000 is that the
01:16:07.500 people in
01:16:07.900 charge know
01:16:08.660 that the
01:16:09.080 value of
01:16:09.520 money will
01:16:09.920 go away,
01:16:11.240 and the
01:16:11.640 smart people
01:16:12.220 will just
01:16:12.620 hoard up
01:16:13.460 on Bitcoin
01:16:13.940 before it
01:16:14.640 happens,
01:16:15.840 and then
01:16:16.460 all the
01:16:17.140 poor people
01:16:17.660 will say,
01:16:18.000 wait,
01:16:19.020 what happened
01:16:19.500 to the
01:16:19.820 thousand dollars
01:16:20.460 I had in
01:16:20.840 the bank?
01:16:21.320 And everybody
01:16:21.700 would say,
01:16:22.020 well,
01:16:22.140 it's gone,
01:16:23.200 but how
01:16:23.600 would you
01:16:23.820 like some
01:16:24.180 UBI
01:16:24.620 instead?
01:16:25.920 You go,
01:16:26.380 what?
01:16:27.180 Yeah,
01:16:27.400 we'll give
01:16:27.680 you some
01:16:28.000 just free
01:16:28.480 money,
01:16:29.160 but all
01:16:30.020 the money
01:16:30.400 you used
01:16:30.760 to have
01:16:31.060 in the
01:16:31.300 bank,
01:16:31.660 that's
01:16:31.960 basically
01:16:32.540 worthless
01:16:32.980 now.
01:16:33.340 We
01:16:33.360 inflated it
01:16:34.020 away.
01:16:35.520 And then
01:16:36.780 they say,
01:16:37.220 well,
01:16:37.460 what are you
01:16:38.140 going to
01:16:38.320 give me?
01:16:38.760 Well,
01:16:38.920 we'll give
01:16:39.180 you some
01:16:39.600 Bitcoin.
01:16:41.540 And it'll
01:16:41.760 just,
01:16:42.780 I don't know,
01:16:43.260 somehow we'll
01:16:43.760 give you
01:16:43.980 Bitcoin.
01:16:45.000 And what
01:16:46.040 would you
01:16:46.360 say?
01:16:47.100 You'd say,
01:16:47.720 well,
01:16:48.520 my money's
01:16:49.180 worthless,
01:16:49.680 there's nothing
01:16:50.080 I can do
01:16:50.540 about that,
01:16:51.720 so I guess
01:16:52.960 I'll take
01:16:53.280 some Bitcoins
01:16:53.960 if you have
01:16:55.320 some way
01:16:55.660 to give
01:16:55.900 them to
01:16:56.100 me.
01:16:56.280 all right.
01:17:01.600 So,
01:17:02.120 yeah,
01:17:02.380 maybe we
01:17:02.820 have to
01:17:03.100 conquer
01:17:03.400 the other
01:17:03.780 countries
01:17:04.200 or something
01:17:04.620 like that.
01:17:05.420 All right,
01:17:05.660 here's a
01:17:06.160 weird little
01:17:06.800 factoid.
01:17:08.520 Ryan Peterson,
01:17:09.120 who knows a
01:17:09.780 lot about
01:17:10.440 international
01:17:11.600 shipping,
01:17:13.380 says,
01:17:14.400 one of the
01:17:14.740 largest
01:17:15.040 international
01:17:15.720 freight
01:17:16.160 forwarders in
01:17:16.900 the United
01:17:17.300 States,
01:17:17.900 JAS
01:17:18.420 forwarding,
01:17:19.860 got hit by
01:17:20.700 a massive
01:17:21.160 cyber attack,
01:17:22.300 I guess the
01:17:22.960 evening before
01:17:23.640 last.
01:17:24.440 He said,
01:17:24.780 the last time
01:17:25.300 this happened
01:17:25.720 to a major
01:17:26.280 U.S.
01:17:26.840 forwarder,
01:17:28.080 Expeditors
01:17:28.840 International of
01:17:29.740 Washington,
01:17:30.740 Putin invaded
01:17:31.520 Ukraine three
01:17:32.380 days later.
01:17:34.040 Now,
01:17:34.540 why would
01:17:34.860 they be
01:17:35.180 related?
01:17:37.000 Why would
01:17:37.440 a massive
01:17:38.020 cyber attack
01:17:38.920 against a
01:17:39.600 shipping
01:17:40.000 company
01:17:40.520 be a
01:17:42.560 foreshadowing
01:17:44.160 of some
01:17:44.780 Russian
01:17:45.400 military
01:17:46.120 action?
01:17:48.520 Maybe
01:17:49.200 somebody knows
01:17:49.840 that I
01:17:50.160 don't,
01:17:50.580 but it's
01:17:52.720 out there
01:17:53.120 as a
01:17:53.620 possible
01:17:54.580 risk.
01:17:55.720 All right,
01:17:56.480 ladies and
01:17:57.000 gentlemen,
01:17:58.040 that is my
01:17:58.700 prepared
01:17:59.060 remarks.
01:18:00.400 And I'm
01:18:01.820 sure there
01:18:02.160 will be
01:18:02.380 more
01:18:02.620 intrigues
01:18:03.120 and
01:18:03.260 outrages
01:18:03.740 coming up,
01:18:04.540 but for
01:18:04.940 now,
01:18:05.500 we're going
01:18:06.260 to go
01:18:06.500 enjoy our
