Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2583 CWSA 08⧸31⧸24

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:02.660 Ram-ba-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. 1.00

00:00:05.520 Ba-bum-bum-bum. 0.92

00:00:08.780 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:13.720 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:15.500 Would you like to take this up to a level that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brain?

00:00:22.560 Well, all you need for that is a cupper mug or a glass, a tanker chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:28.320 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.

00:00:32.840 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day,

00:00:36.500 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:38.840 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:41.600 Go.

00:00:46.320 Mmm, mmm, extra good.

00:00:50.060 Well, today's a little bit special because I'm going to completely change the lives of some of you.

00:00:57.120 That's a promise.

00:00:58.700 Now, it's sort of a statistical promise because I can't get you all.

00:01:04.040 And you don't all need any kind of an improvement.

00:01:06.640 Some of you are just right the way you are.

00:01:09.100 But for some percentage of you, I'm going to give you a reframe in a few minutes.

00:01:14.120 It's not right away.

00:01:16.020 That will completely change your life.

00:01:18.000 And some of you will say, damn, was it always that obvious?

00:01:22.680 And then you'll say, all right, I'm going to go change my life.

00:01:26.840 And then you will.

00:01:28.160 This is actually real, by the way.

00:01:30.540 You legitimately, if we get 100,000 people to watch this, which would be typical.

00:01:36.920 And of 100,000, I'll bet you I will change the lives of 5,000 to 10,000 people completely.

00:01:46.860 So that's my promise to you.

00:01:48.360 But first, let's talk about this overdue book from a Virginia library.

00:01:54.060 Huh.

00:01:54.600 Why would that be an interesting story?

00:01:56.740 Well, you'd be the judge.

00:01:58.340 But there was a book returned to the library that had been missing for 50 years.

00:02:03.720 And that was the new record for a book returned to a library.

00:02:07.260 50 years.

00:02:08.440 Do you know what the record was before that for the same library?

00:02:12.100 I know.

00:02:12.600 That's what you're wondering.

00:02:13.500 You're like, what was the record before that?

00:02:16.620 Well, the record before that was nine years.

00:02:19.140 But I'm proud to say it was my book.

00:02:20.860 So before that, the longest a book had been out from the library was my book,

00:02:28.280 The Dilber of Future, from the mid-'90s.

00:02:33.260 And it was described as a cartoon self-help and joke book.

00:02:38.660 Oh, it's so much more than that.

00:02:41.160 But yes, my book is so good that people will steal it from libraries.

00:02:47.080 Yeah.

00:02:47.980 That's better than a five-star review.

00:02:50.860 How good is it?

00:02:51.880 It's so good, I'm not even taking it back to the library.

00:02:56.080 So I felt pretty good about that.

00:03:00.040 As you know, I'm at what's called a slider.

00:03:03.460 I'm one of those people who makes lights blink when I go by them,

00:03:08.300 street lights and other things.

00:03:09.760 I now have three separate lights in my house that blink continuously.

00:03:14.060 One in the kitchen, one on the far end of the house by the dog door,

00:03:21.260 and one in my master bedroom.

00:03:24.480 Different lights, different situations.

00:03:26.980 All three of them blink, blink, blink.

00:03:30.860 True story.

00:03:32.480 Can I explain it?

00:03:34.140 No.

00:03:34.480 Now, here's a question for you.

00:03:38.740 How often in your life has it been true that your car is working fine,

00:03:43.960 there's nothing wrong with it, no lights are on, don't need any service,

00:03:47.500 at the same time that all your major appliances in your kitchen are also working?

00:03:53.360 Now, for most of you, that's fairly common, isn't it?

00:03:58.960 For me, it's never.

00:04:01.660 Any time in my life has it been true that my car doesn't have a light on

00:04:06.640 and that all my appliances work.

00:04:10.760 So my car has been to major service twice this month.

00:04:15.060 I've had a dishwasher repaired, a coffee maker, a refrigerator.

00:04:19.680 I'll have the third repair on it.

00:04:21.240 I woke up to another kitchen full of water.

00:04:26.600 That's my normal life.

00:04:28.240 There's nothing unusual about that.

00:04:30.420 So electronics just go around me.

00:04:33.860 I don't know why.

00:04:37.160 So here's a small-sounding story that's big to me.

00:04:40.800 So the Amazon digital assistant, whose name I shall not say,

00:04:45.280 because it will activate all of your Amazon digital assistants,

00:04:48.140 who start with the letter A, L-E-X-I-S.

00:04:52.740 But they're going to be upgraded with AI.

00:04:56.280 So they had not had real AI until now.

00:04:59.140 But sometime this year, they'll have it.

00:05:00.940 Now, most of you are saying,

00:05:02.980 that's the smallest little unimportant story.

00:05:06.220 Not for me.

00:05:07.000 I have those devices around my house and all the major rooms,

00:05:12.340 and I talk to them all day.

00:05:14.300 The trouble is that talking to them goes like this.

00:05:18.020 Hey, name of device, what's the weather today?

00:05:23.620 I do not have control over the kitchen.

00:05:27.820 No, I said, what's the weather today?

00:05:30.220 It's 2 o'clock.

00:05:33.800 Now, what's the weather, the weather today?

00:05:38.920 The top news story is, no, shut up.

00:05:41.780 What's the weather?

00:05:43.500 So if you could actually make those devices understand what I say on the first try,

00:05:49.000 like AI does.

00:05:50.020 AI understands you really, really well.

00:05:53.540 And then maybe just have a conversation with it.

00:05:55.860 It would be completely life-changing.

00:05:58.040 This would be the Star Trek moment for me.

00:06:00.960 Do you remember in Star Trek when the crew would just talk to the ship,

00:06:05.340 and it would be some AI thing running the ship,

00:06:08.520 and they would just sort of hit their little communicator and talk to it?

00:06:12.260 That will be me.

00:06:13.940 In just a few months, I'll be just in my spaceship here talking to my computer.

00:06:20.140 Can't wait.

00:06:20.600 I really can't.

00:06:22.520 By the way, that's not a joke.

00:06:24.780 I'm actually very excited about it.

00:06:26.860 It's transformative.

00:06:30.900 There's a story coming up which would explain this better,

00:06:35.560 which is that in Japan,

00:06:38.440 I think there were over 30,000 people who died alone at home in the past year.

00:06:44.680 I saw that number somewhere.

00:06:45.900 Imagine that.

00:06:50.620 In Japan, over 30,000 people died alone in their homes in one year

00:06:56.940 because they had a massive loneliness problem.

00:07:00.820 Imagine what will happen to your loneliness problem

00:07:03.500 if you can just talk out loud in any room of your house

00:07:08.160 and there's some intelligent entity talking back to you.

00:07:11.720 It's completely transformative.

00:07:14.600 Trust me, it's a big, big deal.

00:07:16.360 It just doesn't seem like it yet.

00:07:19.180 Well, speaking of AI and robots,

00:07:21.180 there's this new robot getting a lot of attention today.

00:07:24.080 It must be close to release.

00:07:25.680 It's called the NEO, N-E-O,

00:07:29.380 and I guess it's a beta version.

00:07:32.820 So all of the video calls it the NEO beta.

00:07:36.820 And here's the funny part.

00:07:38.540 The robot is actually designed to act like a beta male

00:07:41.740 that does whatever you want.

00:07:44.640 Oh, now may I grab your purse for you, miss? 0.99

00:07:47.700 And it shows what looks to be a single woman with her beta male robot 0.96

00:07:52.320 that just does whatever she wants. 1.00

00:07:54.520 And it even calls her over for a hug.

00:07:58.880 And I'm thinking,

00:08:00.180 did they really have to put the beta part on there?

00:08:03.940 I mean, that's a little bit too on the nose.

00:08:06.720 So if you're wondering which humans would be replaced first,

00:08:10.580 it's beta males.

00:08:12.120 Beta males will be replaced first. 1.00

00:08:14.400 And is that a surprise?

00:08:16.460 No, no.

00:08:17.960 Because if you were to rank the importance of human beings,

00:08:21.940 that would be a horrible thing to do.

00:08:24.520 Wouldn't it?

00:08:25.220 But we could all do it.

00:08:26.880 Meaning that if you were in the life,

00:08:28.260 if you were in the lifeboat

00:08:29.520 and somebody had to be thrown overboard,

00:08:32.520 we could all make the same decision about who goes first,

00:08:36.040 if you know what I mean.

00:08:38.460 So, you know,

00:08:39.460 your rank is usually children are first.

00:08:42.560 Although if you're a Democrat,

00:08:44.100 it might be women are first and children are second. 1.00

00:08:46.560 But, you know,

00:08:47.080 men are going to be lower on the list. 0.60

00:08:48.860 And then the beta men,

00:08:51.220 the beta males,

00:08:52.480 literally have the lowest value in society.

00:08:55.800 So the beta males got replaced first.

00:08:59.140 Surprise.

00:09:00.400 Who needs a simp when you've got a robot?

00:09:03.440 So I'm sure they could have made them

00:09:05.480 so they didn't act exactly like beta males.

00:09:09.760 But if you're going to make them look like that,

00:09:11.520 don't call it the neo beta.

00:09:13.180 That's all I'm saying.

00:09:14.160 I know they're using beta in a different way.

00:09:16.100 It's just funny.

00:09:16.700 Well, two more stories about major breakthroughs

00:09:21.940 in battery development every single day.

00:09:24.140 These are different stories.

00:09:26.080 I'm not telling you the same battery breakthrough story every day,

00:09:29.640 but there are two more.

00:09:32.320 This is a big, big deal

00:09:33.720 because you need your batteries for your robots.

00:09:37.700 You're not going to have a world of robots

00:09:40.020 unless the battery technology gets a lot better

00:09:43.160 and it's all happening.

00:09:44.140 Now, do you ever ask yourself,

00:09:46.780 why is it all happening at exactly the right time?

00:09:50.180 Isn't that weird?

00:09:51.880 That exactly the time

00:09:53.420 we need really, really big advancements in batteries,

00:09:57.660 it's happening.

00:09:59.700 When do we need it for the robots?

00:10:02.220 Isn't that weird?

00:10:03.740 Anyway, that feels like a simulation situation.

00:10:06.940 There's a company, Atio Systems.

00:10:10.180 They've got a new thing

00:10:11.240 that will get rid of all your forever chemicals in your battery.

00:10:15.920 That's a big deal.

00:10:17.020 You know, the ones that you can't get rid of otherwise.

00:10:21.100 And 20% reduction in cost

00:10:23.220 and 50% increase in energy density,

00:10:26.700 82% decrease in energy consumption

00:10:28.980 to make the batteries themselves.

00:10:30.800 There's another tech explorer,

00:10:32.500 there's another story about researchers.

00:10:34.520 Oh, they figured out if you have a lithium battery,

00:10:40.060 that how you charge it the first time

00:10:42.620 can make a gigantic difference in how long it lasts.

00:10:47.600 So just knowing that little bit of information

00:10:49.760 could double the length of time your battery lasts.

00:10:53.240 These changes in the battery technology are all gigantic.

00:10:58.940 This is one little tweak on existing technology,

00:11:02.140 simply knowing that your first charge is the important one,

00:11:05.380 that presumably they could do it at the factory

00:11:07.400 so it gets done right.

00:11:10.320 And it doubles.

00:11:11.680 It doubles the life of it.

00:11:13.280 Doubles its value.

00:11:14.900 These are gigantic changes.

00:11:17.160 Civilization changing technology.

00:11:19.380 All right, University of Surrey had a research

00:11:23.560 and they found out that humans are most,

00:11:27.940 well, they're very influenced by the repetition of messages

00:11:30.780 and that you can make something that's untrue

00:11:33.620 seem true to people simply by repeating it

00:11:36.600 over and over again.

00:11:38.200 Now, what do you think I'm going to say about that?

00:11:41.120 Huh, they did research to find out

00:11:44.080 that the more somebody repeats a message,

00:11:46.340 the more likely you'll act like it's true.

00:11:49.960 Well, they could have just saved a little bit of money

00:11:52.800 and asked me because it's the most basic knowledge

00:11:55.720 that every hypnotist knows.

00:11:57.660 Every advertiser knows it.

00:11:59.540 Everybody in marketing knows it.

00:12:01.480 Everybody, everyone in politics knows it.

00:12:04.300 You didn't even have to ask me.

00:12:07.020 Tell me, could they have asked you?

00:12:09.760 Could they have skipped all this science

00:12:11.580 and just said, oh, I'll just use the phone book

00:12:14.280 if that existed and I'll randomly call somebody?

00:12:17.260 Hello? Hi.

00:12:18.480 Oh, you don't know me.

00:12:19.840 It's a random phone call.

00:12:21.340 I'm trying to save some money on some research.

00:12:23.600 Do you think you could help me out?

00:12:25.300 Sure.

00:12:26.420 Well, we were going to research whether showing somebody

00:12:29.260 the same piece of information over and over again

00:12:31.520 would have any influence on what they believe to be true.

00:12:36.400 Yeah, that's obviously the case.

00:12:39.760 So you feel confident about that?

00:12:41.840 Yeah, totally.

00:12:42.640 You can skip all the research.

00:12:43.980 Save that money.

00:12:45.240 Thank you very much, stranger.

00:12:46.920 See, that's how they should have handled it.

00:12:48.800 Just randomly call a stranger.

00:12:51.800 Now, remember I told you I was going to change your lives?

00:12:55.200 Not all of you,

00:12:56.700 but a solid 5% to 10% of you who watch this,

00:12:59.860 either now or later,

00:13:01.180 your lives will be completely changed

00:13:03.320 by the reframe I'm about to give you.

00:13:05.740 You ready for it?

00:13:07.120 A lot of priming.

00:13:08.080 And it has to do with this obvious science

00:13:11.940 that the more you see something,

00:13:13.720 the more it changes what you think is true.

00:13:16.280 Here's the reframe.

00:13:19.440 Each of us spends a certain percentage of our day

00:13:22.400 thinking about sometimes the past

00:13:25.180 and thinking about sometimes the future.

00:13:28.960 Would you agree that so far you all agree?

00:13:32.060 Now, I'm not saying what's right or wrong.

00:13:34.020 I'm just saying that we all spend some amount of time

00:13:37.300 thinking past, about the past,

00:13:39.520 some amount thinking about what we'd like the future.

00:13:42.520 Here's the reframe that will change your life forever.

00:13:45.720 If you think about the past too much,

00:13:47.660 it'll make you depressed

00:13:48.680 and maybe fill you with a regret.

00:13:51.760 And you're also going to be thinking about somebody

00:13:53.800 that you no longer are.

00:13:55.920 You're not the past.

00:13:57.800 So the more time you spend thinking about the past

00:14:00.800 and the problems and the things you should have done

00:14:02.980 and the things that didn't work out,

00:14:04.720 the more you're guaranteed to be depressed.

00:14:07.520 Because what is true is what you think about the most.

00:14:11.320 So if you think about the past the most,

00:14:13.540 even though the past doesn't even exist, it's gone.

00:14:16.860 You can't grab a piece of the past.

00:14:19.340 It's gone.

00:14:20.180 But if you think about it the most,

00:14:21.780 it becomes your reality.

00:14:23.660 Now take it the other way.

00:14:25.060 If you think about the future and what it could be,

00:14:28.160 if you make the right moves,

00:14:29.900 you become like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:14:33.540 He's someone who talks about visualizing the future.

00:14:37.280 You've probably heard other people,

00:14:39.640 like probably Tony Robbins,

00:14:41.480 maybe you've listened to me.

00:14:43.600 And Jim Carrey says the same thing.

00:14:46.640 So you'll find tons and tons of super successful people

00:14:49.960 who will consistently tell you the same thing,

00:14:53.260 that they think mostly about the future

00:14:56.080 and then they imagine the future they want.

00:14:59.540 Arnold Schwarzenegger's got a great documentary

00:15:01.420 on Netflix right now,

00:15:02.740 Story of His Life.

00:15:04.240 I recommend it.

00:15:05.100 I haven't finished it,

00:15:05.940 but I totally recommend it.

00:15:08.080 For the mental part.

00:15:10.400 So just as it is true

00:15:12.040 that if a message is given to you over and over,

00:15:14.320 you'll think it's true,

00:15:15.180 whether it is or not,

00:15:16.700 when you think about your past,

00:15:18.180 that becomes your reality.

00:15:20.080 And it's optional.

00:15:20.980 You can change the percentage of time

00:15:24.120 you think about your ideal future,

00:15:27.080 you know, an ideal future

00:15:28.200 where you have some steps

00:15:29.420 where you could actually get there.

00:15:31.260 And that will completely transform

00:15:33.940 your experience of life

00:15:35.360 as well as your success.

00:15:37.540 So the simplest way to remember this

00:15:39.540 is that the more time you spend

00:15:41.220 thinking about your preferred

00:15:43.520 realistic path in the future,

00:15:46.020 and the less time you think about where you were,

00:15:48.760 the happier you will be

00:15:51.240 and the more successful you'll be.

00:15:53.740 Now, half of you just said,

00:15:56.120 I already do that, Scott.

00:15:57.340 I know.

00:15:58.540 Remember, I'm going after 5% to 10% of you. 0.99

00:16:01.400 So some of you are just along for the ride,

00:16:03.580 and you're part of the productive change

00:16:06.740 for the 5% or 10%.

00:16:08.020 5% or 10% of you just said,

00:16:10.780 wait a minute,

00:16:11.440 you just pulled together

00:16:12.520 everything I was thinking about,

00:16:14.100 but I didn't quite see it that cleanly.

00:16:16.320 Because you all knew that affirmations are good.

00:16:19.720 You all knew that positive thinking is good.

00:16:23.320 Right?

00:16:24.160 You all knew that thinking about the future

00:16:26.000 and having a plan is good.

00:16:28.020 But I just simplified it in a way

00:16:29.820 that will actually activate it for you.

00:16:32.200 If you're thinking about the past,

00:16:34.120 just say, get out.

00:16:35.300 Get out of your head.

00:16:36.620 See, now I'm combining two techniques.

00:16:38.800 The get out.

00:16:39.800 If you're locked into your thoughts

00:16:41.280 of something that happened,

00:16:43.000 just say, get out.

00:16:44.360 Get out.

00:16:45.180 Think of the future.

00:16:46.640 Think of what you want to happen tomorrow.

00:16:48.320 Think of what you want to happen in five years.

00:16:50.300 You can do it.

00:16:51.360 All you have to do is

00:16:52.300 build yourself a little habit.

00:16:54.620 Completely changes your life.

00:16:58.020 All right.

00:16:58.580 Well, the complaints about air travel

00:17:01.020 are up 12% since last year.

00:17:03.680 Tons of complaints.

00:17:04.520 This is more evidence of what I call

00:17:06.680 the incompetence crisis.

00:17:10.080 We have a general incompetence crisis

00:17:12.680 where we expect that nothing

00:17:15.140 that used to be simple

00:17:16.500 will ever work.

00:17:18.100 I mean, even the most basic transactions

00:17:20.600 that you used to think would work,

00:17:22.740 I don't really think they'll even work

00:17:24.620 before I try them now.

00:17:25.760 So, I don't know what's behind it,

00:17:29.080 but we got a lot of incompetence happening.

00:17:31.240 I think a lot of it has to do

00:17:32.860 with everything's more complicated.

00:17:35.200 You know, humans didn't get smarter,

00:17:36.940 but everything that we have to do

00:17:39.500 got more complicated.

00:17:40.900 So, that would get you

00:17:42.060 to an incompetence crisis.

00:17:43.740 If not for the DEI programs,

00:17:45.700 which has nothing to do with the people,

00:17:47.580 has to do with the program

00:17:48.700 would artificially require

00:17:51.440 more demand than there is supply.

00:17:55.760 Short term.

00:17:58.360 Anyway, seven,

00:18:00.080 or some people say six,

00:18:02.320 in the news,

00:18:03.240 U.S. service members

00:18:04.100 were injured in a raid in Iraq

00:18:05.820 that went after a bunch of ISIS militants

00:18:09.040 and killed them. 0.67

00:18:10.660 So, we're still fighting in Iraq.

00:18:13.660 We're still fighting ISIS.

00:18:15.740 I hope that this is just,

00:18:18.100 I think they call it mowing the lawn.

00:18:21.340 You know, every once in a while,

00:18:22.260 you have to go out and mow the lawn

00:18:23.420 and just make sure that you get

00:18:25.180 the new militants that are popping up.

00:18:28.660 So, I hope that's not any kind

00:18:29.880 of a big trend that's coming.

00:18:32.340 I hope that was just mowing the lawn,

00:18:34.300 as they say,

00:18:34.900 which is a terribly diminishing thing

00:18:37.040 to say about human life,

00:18:38.300 even ISIS.

00:18:39.020 All right.

00:18:40.420 Searchlight Pictures presents

00:18:43.260 The Roses,

00:18:44.180 only in theaters August 29th.

00:18:46.200 From the director of Meet the Parents

00:18:47.920 and the writer of Poor Things

00:18:49.520 comes The Roses,

00:18:50.980 starring Academy Award winner

00:18:52.480 Olivia Colman,

00:18:53.680 Academy Award nominee

00:18:54.800 Benedict Cumberbatch,

00:18:56.180 Andy Samberg,

00:18:57.140 Kate McKinnon,

00:18:57.900 and Allison Janney.

00:18:59.060 A hilarious new comedy

00:19:00.280 filled with drama,

00:19:01.620 excitement,

00:19:02.260 and a little bit of hatred,

00:19:03.760 proving that marriage

00:19:04.700 isn't always a bed of roses.

00:19:06.580 See The Roses,

00:19:08.040 only in theaters August 29th.

00:19:09.760 Get tickets now.

00:19:12.300 According to The Wall Street Journal,

00:19:14.620 American consumers are more optimistic.

00:19:17.120 So, they asked 1,500 voters

00:19:19.000 in late August,

00:19:20.440 and a pretty big change.

00:19:22.460 So, they asked about their feelings

00:19:23.540 about the economy.

00:19:24.380 34% said it's improving

00:19:26.920 compared to 26 in early July.

00:19:29.660 That's a pretty big move,

00:19:31.120 but 34% is still only a third

00:19:34.840 of the country thinks things

00:19:35.960 are moving in the right direction.

00:19:38.080 And then the share of thought

00:19:39.180 the economy was worse

00:19:40.120 fell to 48 from 54.

00:19:42.680 So, of course,

00:19:43.880 that would be an equivalent change.

00:19:46.620 Now, so what do you make

00:19:50.180 of the fact that now that you know

00:19:53.760 that the more you hear something,

00:19:55.700 the more true it is,

00:19:57.260 even if it's not true?

00:19:59.000 So, we just talked about that.

00:20:01.120 So, then you look to

00:20:01.920 The Wall Street Journal

00:20:02.700 and you try to pull together

00:20:03.760 these concepts.

00:20:04.560 The Wall Street Journal says

00:20:06.620 the economy might be improving

00:20:09.080 according to consumers.

00:20:11.000 And if consumer opinions go up,

00:20:13.240 then probably the economy

00:20:15.520 will follow the consumer sentiment

00:20:17.340 because the sentiment

00:20:18.660 makes them buy stuff,

00:20:19.840 buying stuff is good

00:20:20.660 for the economy, etc.

00:20:22.500 So, how do you read this story then?

00:20:25.560 Do you read this story

00:20:26.400 as a true and useful piece of news?

00:20:30.780 I don't.

00:20:33.840 I see all the news

00:20:35.580 within the umbrella

00:20:36.400 of brainwashing and propaganda,

00:20:39.280 that everybody's got an agenda.

00:20:41.460 And when you get this close

00:20:42.920 to the election

00:20:43.580 and a major publication

00:20:45.020 tells you that people

00:20:46.840 are thinking better

00:20:47.780 about the economy,

00:20:49.220 how do you take that?

00:20:51.240 Well, if you saw enough stories

00:20:53.400 that says,

00:20:53.940 I think this economy

00:20:54.900 is turning around,

00:20:55.880 what would the public think?

00:20:57.380 they would think

00:20:58.580 the economy is turning around.

00:21:00.360 And then they would vote

00:21:01.240 for whoever did that.

00:21:03.560 So, I don't really even see

00:21:05.640 stories like this as news.

00:21:07.840 To me, they're newsy.

00:21:09.880 I mean, it's probably

00:21:11.520 a true survey.

00:21:13.220 I'm not saying it's false.

00:21:15.140 I'm saying that

00:21:16.020 what they decide to talk about

00:21:18.380 is a decision

00:21:21.480 about how much you see

00:21:22.800 of every message.

00:21:24.220 If the news can decide

00:21:25.720 how much you see

00:21:26.820 of each message,

00:21:28.400 then even what is true

00:21:30.040 and what is false

00:21:30.740 stops mattering.

00:21:32.860 Because remember,

00:21:34.020 what you see the most

00:21:35.480 is your truth.

00:21:37.400 That's what you lack them.

00:21:39.160 So, if they keep telling you

00:21:40.560 things are getting better,

00:21:41.660 well, maybe that's

00:21:42.500 an indication

00:21:43.520 that whoever's writing

00:21:44.600 these articles

00:21:45.320 might want a little bit

00:21:47.620 less of Trump

00:21:48.340 and a little bit more

00:21:49.180 of Harris.

00:21:50.500 Maybe.

00:21:51.340 You don't know that.

00:21:52.640 I'm not a mind reader.

00:21:54.220 I'm just saying

00:21:54.640 that's what you'd expect

00:21:55.540 the more you see it.

00:21:58.460 All right.

00:22:00.880 Here's what

00:22:01.460 Nicole Shanahan,

00:22:02.860 RFK Jr.'s running mate,

00:22:06.040 said on Fox News.

00:22:08.160 Democrats spend millions

00:22:09.420 on lawsuits

00:22:09.980 to keep us off the ballots.

00:22:12.500 Now that we've suspended

00:22:13.520 our campaign,

00:22:14.200 and they're scrambling

00:22:14.900 to keep us on the ballot.

00:22:17.420 You know,

00:22:18.180 so you know

00:22:19.080 the background of that, right?

00:22:20.620 So,

00:22:21.700 the Democrats

00:22:23.480 were trying to make sure

00:22:24.420 RFK Jr. couldn't run

00:22:25.840 so they used all their

00:22:26.660 lawfare that they could.

00:22:28.440 That cost the campaign

00:22:29.980 millions of dollars

00:22:30.940 to defend against

00:22:31.800 all that stuff.

00:22:32.820 And then as soon as he said,

00:22:34.260 but you know,

00:22:34.620 I'm going to take myself

00:22:35.400 off the ballot

00:22:36.100 in some of these

00:22:37.100 battleground zones

00:22:38.640 so that Trump

00:22:39.700 has a better chance

00:22:40.360 of winning.

00:22:41.320 Now they're fighting

00:22:42.200 the opposite fight.

00:22:43.140 Oh,

00:22:43.960 you're on the ballot now.

00:22:45.440 You're definitely

00:22:46.420 staying on the ballot now.

00:22:48.060 Oh,

00:22:48.300 we're not taking you

00:22:49.080 off the ballot.

00:22:50.280 Nice try.

00:22:50.940 We're keeping you

00:22:51.520 on the ballot.

00:22:52.840 So,

00:22:53.400 I've never seen

00:22:54.180 a more naked

00:22:55.080 abuse of power.

00:22:57.680 But here's my question.

00:22:59.760 How many Democrats

00:23:00.760 are even aware of this?

00:23:03.300 It's on Fox News.

00:23:05.220 I'll bet every one

00:23:06.000 of you were aware of it

00:23:07.020 because if you're

00:23:07.860 watching this,

00:23:08.440 you're probably news

00:23:09.180 junkies like I am.

00:23:11.360 I'll bet every one

00:23:12.080 of you knew it,

00:23:13.060 that the Democrats

00:23:13.880 went from trying

00:23:15.160 to keep them

00:23:15.640 off the ballots

00:23:16.280 to trying to keep

00:23:17.160 them on the ballots.

00:23:18.680 And none of this

00:23:19.340 has anything to do

00:23:20.120 with democracy

00:23:20.940 or freedom

00:23:21.640 or anything.

00:23:23.700 It's just

00:23:24.040 a naked power move.

00:23:26.140 Now,

00:23:26.360 I'm not saying

00:23:26.880 that maybe Republicans

00:23:27.960 would never do

00:23:28.780 any naked power moves.

00:23:30.500 This isn't something

00:23:31.360 that's limited

00:23:31.900 to one side,

00:23:32.580 of course.

00:23:33.460 But I guess

00:23:35.100 the thing that shocks me

00:23:36.860 is that it could

00:23:38.220 be so blatant.

00:23:39.720 And the reason

00:23:40.420 it could be so blatant

00:23:41.400 is that nobody

00:23:42.660 who's voting Democrat

00:23:44.920 will ever even

00:23:46.100 see this more than once.

00:23:48.440 They might have

00:23:49.240 seen it once,

00:23:50.240 but if you only

00:23:51.520 see it once,

00:23:52.240 it doesn't become

00:23:52.960 a thing.

00:23:53.840 Even though you know

00:23:54.700 it's true,

00:23:55.500 if you've only heard

00:23:56.840 it once,

00:23:58.040 it will never

00:23:58.580 activate any action.

00:24:00.780 So the news

00:24:01.600 can actually report

00:24:02.580 this accurately

00:24:03.300 and say,

00:24:03.940 well,

00:24:04.700 they were doing this

00:24:05.560 but now they're

00:24:06.080 doing this

00:24:06.600 or they could have

00:24:07.780 Scott Jennings come on

00:24:09.140 and every once in a while

00:24:10.100 he'll say,

00:24:10.800 but, you know,

00:24:11.380 remind you they did this

00:24:12.640 and now they're doing that.

00:24:14.100 As long as it doesn't

00:24:15.320 come up much,

00:24:16.980 it won't have any effect

00:24:18.560 on Democrats.

00:24:21.060 It would have to come up

00:24:22.160 over and over again

00:24:23.020 before anything sinks in.

00:24:24.620 That's what we just learned.

00:24:27.940 So it's such a naked power play,

00:24:29.840 but they can get away with it.

00:24:31.900 So this is

00:24:32.880 Trump's new framing

00:24:34.120 of Harris.

00:24:36.060 He said,

00:24:36.820 quote,

00:24:37.120 Harris didn't do

00:24:38.100 a lot of interviews

00:24:38.820 but she's not good at it, 0.95

00:24:41.120 I guess,

00:24:41.700 which I think

00:24:43.160 is everybody's bottom line.

00:24:45.160 It looks like

00:24:45.660 she's not good at it. 1.00

00:24:46.940 Yeah,

00:24:47.220 she's not good at it. 1.00

00:24:47.960 We'll talk more about that.

00:24:49.320 And he says,

00:24:49.980 quote,

00:24:50.400 I think she would have

00:24:51.420 been better off

00:24:52.280 if she just did interviews,

00:24:55.120 even if they weren't great.

00:24:56.740 It would have been better

00:24:57.660 because now everyone's watching

00:24:59.060 and now we see

00:25:00.300 she's defective. 1.00

00:25:01.200 she's a defective person. 1.00

00:25:04.440 And we don't need

00:25:05.420 another defective person

00:25:06.620 as President of the United States.

00:25:08.060 We just had that.

00:25:14.820 He is so good

00:25:16.040 with framing and words.

00:25:19.440 I never really thought

00:25:20.740 of that word,

00:25:21.700 defective.

00:25:23.380 Not once have I ever thought

00:25:25.280 that would be the right word

00:25:26.380 to apply to any of the situation.

00:25:28.460 But as soon as you hear it,

00:25:31.060 you say to yourself,

00:25:32.240 oh, wow,

00:25:33.340 he found a way

00:25:34.140 to tie dementia

00:25:35.520 to whatever problems

00:25:38.860 Kamala Harris has

00:25:39.920 talking in public.

00:25:41.160 We don't know

00:25:41.680 what drives that.

00:25:43.140 But they're both defective.

00:25:45.840 So he doesn't have to be

00:25:47.040 any more specific than that

00:25:48.780 because as soon as you hear

00:25:49.980 that word,

00:25:50.540 you're like,

00:25:51.140 defective.

00:25:52.500 Yeah.

00:25:52.900 Yeah.

00:25:53.860 Yeah.

00:25:54.620 It's not like

00:25:55.640 two regular politicians

00:25:58.160 in a contest.

00:26:00.620 Kamala Harris does actually

00:26:02.060 look defective.

00:26:03.780 Now,

00:26:04.580 to be fair,

00:26:06.000 the Democrats would say,

00:26:07.200 but that Trump

00:26:08.040 is defective

00:26:08.840 in so many ways,

00:26:10.080 but they don't use that word.

00:26:11.400 So it's just funny

00:26:12.100 that he picked that word first.

00:26:13.640 They probably will,

00:26:15.020 you know,

00:26:15.200 now that he's used it.

00:26:16.240 If it makes a dent,

00:26:17.820 so far it hasn't.

00:26:18.780 But if it makes a dent,

00:26:21.000 they're going to pick it up

00:26:22.640 and say,

00:26:23.120 you're defective. 0.66

00:26:24.260 Oh, yeah?

00:26:24.920 You're defective.

00:26:25.920 But not until it works.

00:26:27.540 So it's not working yet.

00:26:29.220 But I love that choice of words

00:26:30.500 just tying

00:26:31.100 defective Biden

00:26:33.020 to defective Harris.

00:26:34.320 It does feel like

00:26:35.260 if you were looking at them

00:26:36.720 as a product,

00:26:38.340 well,

00:26:38.540 let's put it this way.

00:26:40.360 All right.

00:26:40.580 Here's the best way

00:26:41.260 to look at it.

00:26:43.280 If robots were

00:26:44.560 a little bit better

00:26:45.360 and a robot

00:26:46.720 could run for office,

00:26:47.920 and there was

00:26:49.680 a robot Harris

00:26:50.640 and there was

00:26:51.140 a robot Biden

00:26:52.000 and they acted

00:26:53.140 just like the real

00:26:54.580 Human Beings Act 0.77

00:26:55.460 but they're robots.

00:26:56.660 What would you say

00:26:57.520 about the robots?

00:26:59.900 You would say

00:27:00.660 they're defective.

00:27:02.280 Wouldn't you?

00:27:03.300 If you built a robot

00:27:04.500 and it couldn't handle

00:27:05.440 an interview,

00:27:06.400 you'd say,

00:27:06.860 ah,

00:27:07.440 what did we do wrong

00:27:08.940 with a robot?

00:27:09.760 It couldn't handle

00:27:10.480 the interview.

00:27:11.500 If you met a robot

00:27:12.600 that acted exactly

00:27:13.600 like Joe Biden,

00:27:15.280 you'd say,

00:27:15.980 oh, man,

00:27:16.700 back to the drawing board.

00:27:17.920 This robot

00:27:18.540 couldn't even do

00:27:19.220 a debate

00:27:19.820 without looking

00:27:20.440 like it was glitching out.

00:27:22.700 So the fact

00:27:23.620 that he uses

00:27:24.380 like a robot name

00:27:25.600 to describe

00:27:26.600 both of them

00:27:27.140 as defective,

00:27:28.680 I don't know.

00:27:29.660 There's just something

00:27:30.280 perfect about it.

00:27:31.720 The timing of it

00:27:32.680 is right.

00:27:34.980 Fox News

00:27:35.700 had a body language

00:27:36.920 expert

00:27:37.760 talking about

00:27:38.540 Kamala Harris

00:27:39.420 and I didn't see

00:27:40.880 on the clip

00:27:41.380 the name of the expert

00:27:42.500 so I'm not leaving

00:27:43.720 it out

00:27:44.180 by neglect.

00:27:46.400 It just wasn't

00:27:47.260 easily found.

00:27:48.620 So,

00:27:49.300 I apologize

00:27:49.940 to the expert

00:27:50.720 but

00:27:51.440 there's a body language

00:27:53.240 expert who said

00:27:54.120 that Kamala Harris

00:27:55.320 lacked confidence

00:27:56.700 and presidential

00:27:57.620 appearance,

00:27:59.600 that she was

00:28:00.160 bobbing and waffling

00:28:01.340 showing that she

00:28:02.120 didn't have confidence

00:28:02.980 or she was unprepared

00:28:04.060 and that

00:28:05.600 it's an indication

00:28:06.740 says the body language

00:28:07.820 expert

00:28:08.180 that her words

00:28:09.100 were not matching

00:28:09.920 her internal feelings.

00:28:11.320 her words

00:28:13.980 were not matching

00:28:14.660 her internal feelings.

00:28:16.120 I felt that.

00:28:17.640 Now,

00:28:18.020 I'm no body language

00:28:19.240 expert.

00:28:20.280 Well,

00:28:20.700 a little bit.

00:28:21.780 I mean,

00:28:22.120 I do spend a lot

00:28:23.060 of time looking

00:28:23.600 into it.

00:28:24.140 It's within

00:28:24.900 the persuasion

00:28:25.660 domain

00:28:26.100 but I wouldn't

00:28:27.520 call myself

00:28:28.020 a body language

00:28:28.720 expert.

00:28:29.460 I just

00:28:29.800 pay attention

00:28:30.760 to it more

00:28:31.260 than other people

00:28:31.880 do.

00:28:33.960 But he said

00:28:34.500 she would

00:28:36.460 break her gaze.

00:28:38.540 If you watched

00:28:39.180 it,

00:28:39.460 did you notice

00:28:39.840 how often

00:28:40.260 she would look

00:28:40.740 down

00:28:41.080 instead of

00:28:41.620 looking at

00:28:41.960 the person

00:28:42.320 she was

00:28:42.660 talking to?

00:28:44.240 Who looks

00:28:44.980 away from

00:28:45.480 the person

00:28:45.900 they're talking

00:28:46.380 to?

00:28:47.660 I've done

00:28:48.220 a lot of

00:28:48.700 interviews

00:28:49.080 with a lot

00:28:49.820 of,

00:28:50.060 you know,

00:28:50.260 hundreds and

00:28:50.860 hundreds of

00:28:51.320 interviews.

00:28:51.900 I don't believe

00:28:52.860 I've ever

00:28:53.560 not looked at

00:28:55.420 them when I was

00:28:55.960 talking to them

00:28:56.680 if it was just

00:28:57.340 the two of us

00:28:57.900 on camera.

00:28:59.220 And imagine

00:29:00.220 the person

00:29:00.660 sitting right

00:29:01.160 next to you,

00:29:02.900 you know,

00:29:03.120 like right

00:29:03.760 to your left

00:29:04.580 instead of

00:29:05.680 looking at

00:29:06.160 them the whole

00:29:06.540 time and

00:29:06.900 talking,

00:29:07.540 you spend a

00:29:08.340 good deal

00:29:08.700 time like

00:29:09.620 looking down

00:29:10.460 to form

00:29:11.860 your thoughts.

00:29:12.920 That's a

00:29:13.560 real bad

00:29:14.100 look.

00:29:15.340 Yeah,

00:29:15.520 that's a

00:29:15.920 bad,

00:29:16.340 bad look.

00:29:17.140 It was like

00:29:17.580 she couldn't

00:29:18.060 make eye

00:29:18.540 contact and

00:29:19.320 also keep

00:29:19.900 her thoughts

00:29:20.360 straight.

00:29:21.380 So that's

00:29:22.120 what you want

00:29:22.560 negotiating with

00:29:23.340 Putin,

00:29:24.340 someone who

00:29:24.840 can't make

00:29:25.480 eye contact

00:29:26.100 and also

00:29:27.260 think at the

00:29:27.960 same time.

00:29:28.420 it's a

00:29:30.080 problem.

00:29:30.880 It's a

00:29:31.140 big problem.

00:29:34.000 Byron

00:29:34.480 Donalds was

00:29:35.220 making similar

00:29:36.040 comments about

00:29:36.680 the body

00:29:36.980 language on

00:29:38.280 Fox News

00:29:40.520 and he said

00:29:41.040 that when

00:29:42.820 Kamala was

00:29:43.340 asked about

00:29:43.720 her family,

00:29:44.840 she looks

00:29:45.200 relaxed and

00:29:46.040 she makes 0.98

00:29:46.400 eye contact.

00:29:48.320 And I

00:29:48.520 thought,

00:29:48.820 ooh,

00:29:49.340 Byron

00:29:49.700 Donalds,

00:29:50.460 good observation.

00:29:51.740 That is

00:29:52.080 exactly correct.

00:29:53.780 When she's

00:29:54.300 not lying and

00:29:55.600 you know it

00:29:56.240 because she's

00:29:56.760 just talking

00:29:57.480 about her

00:29:57.800 feelings or

00:29:58.420 her family

00:29:58.800 or something,

00:29:59.220 there's no

00:29:59.520 reason to

00:29:59.920 lie.

00:30:01.100 She looks

00:30:01.800 relaxed and

00:30:02.580 like a

00:30:02.920 normal person.

00:30:04.580 But as

00:30:05.240 soon as she

00:30:05.760 had to talk

00:30:06.200 about policies,

00:30:08.400 because she's

00:30:08.980 got all that

00:30:09.540 flip-flopping and

00:30:10.620 maybe she's not

00:30:11.260 the best at

00:30:11.860 explaining her

00:30:12.560 point of view,

00:30:13.840 she looked

00:30:14.540 confident and

00:30:15.460 she had to

00:30:15.860 look away and

00:30:16.560 look at her

00:30:16.880 hand and

00:30:17.400 look at the

00:30:17.760 table and

00:30:18.340 look at

00:30:18.600 everything else.

00:30:21.060 And Byron

00:30:21.920 says,

00:30:22.500 why does she 0.56

00:30:23.180 have to do

00:30:23.500 that?

00:30:23.740 Because she

00:30:24.120 doesn't believe

00:30:24.780 these policies.

00:30:26.240 And she's

00:30:26.560 trying to

00:30:26.900 remember what

00:30:27.440 staffers

00:30:27.940 coached her

00:30:28.480 to say.

00:30:29.240 Now, I

00:30:29.760 can't read

00:30:30.240 minds, so

00:30:32.000 I'm not going

00:30:32.920 to agree with

00:30:34.140 Byron that

00:30:36.260 that's what I

00:30:36.720 can see in

00:30:37.220 her mind.

00:30:38.340 But is it a

00:30:39.820 reasonable

00:30:40.460 perspective that

00:30:42.660 it certainly

00:30:43.160 looks like that's

00:30:44.060 what's happening?

00:30:44.860 Yes.

00:30:45.860 Yes.

00:30:46.240 From the

00:30:46.660 perspective of

00:30:47.480 that's what it

00:30:48.040 looks like,

00:30:49.000 absolutely.

00:30:50.200 But remember,

00:30:51.480 we can't read

00:30:52.080 minds, so don't

00:30:53.120 go too far with

00:30:53.940 it.

00:30:54.760 You know, Byron's

00:30:55.360 in a political

00:30:55.980 realm, so

00:30:57.540 going a little

00:30:58.200 extra far, sort

00:30:59.740 of normal

00:31:00.200 politics, but

00:31:01.220 he can't read

00:31:01.780 her mind.

00:31:03.200 He's just

00:31:03.620 really good at

00:31:04.200 communicating.

00:31:07.260 All right,

00:31:07.760 Bill Maher's

00:31:08.800 back from his

00:31:09.740 summer break,

00:31:11.920 and he

00:31:13.500 joked, I

00:31:14.700 don't know,

00:31:15.360 I don't know

00:31:16.100 why we ever

00:31:16.740 thought, talking

00:31:17.400 about Harris,

00:31:18.300 I don't know

00:31:18.820 why we ever

00:31:19.360 thought she

00:31:19.800 was as bad

00:31:20.920 as people

00:31:21.320 thought she

00:31:21.820 was.

00:31:24.600 He said

00:31:26.520 that Biden

00:31:26.920 had one

00:31:27.360 bad night,

00:31:28.040 but she

00:31:28.260 had a bad

00:31:29.600 three years.

00:31:31.600 She did,

00:31:32.440 but she's 0.97

00:31:32.800 fine.

00:31:33.460 So even

00:31:33.820 Bill Maher

00:31:34.500 can see that

00:31:36.340 Biden was

00:31:36.860 defective,

00:31:38.060 you know,

00:31:38.300 there's no

00:31:38.760 question about

00:31:39.380 that anymore,

00:31:40.200 but more

00:31:40.900 than that,

00:31:41.660 that Harris

00:31:42.880 has been

00:31:43.300 basically defective

00:31:44.400 for the entire

00:31:45.300 time she's

00:31:45.800 been in office.

00:31:47.360 Now, here's

00:31:47.820 my question.

00:31:51.800 Nothing

00:31:52.520 fascinates

00:31:53.580 me more

00:31:54.260 than watching

00:31:56.140 Bill Maher

00:31:56.800 navigate the

00:31:57.760 situation in

00:31:59.200 which he is

00:32:00.180 very clearly

00:32:01.140 aware at

00:32:02.040 this point

00:32:02.640 that he's

00:32:03.800 on the bad

00:32:04.380 side.

00:32:05.900 Now, he

00:32:06.280 didn't start

00:32:06.780 that way,

00:32:08.000 and indeed,

00:32:09.180 you know,

00:32:09.500 as you know,

00:32:10.460 I've had

00:32:11.660 more Democrat

00:32:12.680 voting and

00:32:14.860 support over

00:32:16.440 my life

00:32:17.060 I just

00:32:18.440 don't have

00:32:18.780 it at the

00:32:19.120 moment.

00:32:20.240 So if I

00:32:21.280 look at the

00:32:21.760 two parties,

00:32:22.400 I say to

00:32:22.800 myself,

00:32:23.400 one of those

00:32:24.000 parties looks

00:32:24.560 like a pure

00:32:25.240 criminal party.

00:32:26.900 One of them

00:32:27.420 looks like they

00:32:27.940 still like the

00:32:28.520 Constitution.

00:32:30.000 They don't even

00:32:30.440 look similar,

00:32:31.340 like a little

00:32:31.980 bit to me.

00:32:32.920 There was a

00:32:33.520 time when we

00:32:34.120 used to say

00:32:34.560 that parties

00:32:35.060 are the same.

00:32:36.220 You know,

00:32:36.400 Al Gore is

00:32:37.060 going to give

00:32:37.400 you the same

00:32:37.820 thing as

00:32:38.240 George Bush.

00:32:39.660 And that's

00:32:40.560 not true,

00:32:41.780 but it's

00:32:43.840 way more true

00:32:44.640 that the

00:32:45.020 difference is

00:32:45.620 extreme at this

00:32:46.540 point.

00:32:48.060 So if

00:32:48.720 you're Bill

00:32:49.020 Maher and

00:32:50.260 you obviously

00:32:51.820 you're swimming

00:32:52.520 in politics,

00:32:53.160 it's your

00:32:53.660 job, how

00:32:56.260 do you not

00:32:56.800 notice that

00:32:58.000 your team is

00:32:58.640 the anti-democratic

00:32:59.680 team?

00:33:00.860 Absolutely.

00:33:02.060 You know,

00:33:02.320 keeping people

00:33:02.960 off the

00:33:03.380 ballots.

00:33:03.980 And he

00:33:04.220 mentioned that,

00:33:04.840 by the way,

00:33:05.260 to his credit.

00:33:06.500 He's saying it 0.89

00:33:07.320 directly that his

00:33:08.320 team is keeping

00:33:09.060 people off the

00:33:09.740 ballots.

00:33:10.240 He had Nancy

00:33:10.760 Pelosi on.

00:33:12.580 He went kind

00:33:13.940 of hard at

00:33:14.440 her, but 0.94

00:33:14.900 also jokingly,

00:33:16.420 which is a

00:33:17.620 perfectly good

00:33:18.260 approach.

00:33:19.460 And I

00:33:22.140 think he's

00:33:22.600 very close,

00:33:23.960 not to

00:33:25.280 voting for

00:33:25.820 Trump, but

00:33:27.340 just totally

00:33:28.940 treating his

00:33:29.660 team like they

00:33:30.440 failed.

00:33:31.960 And, you

00:33:32.740 know, he's

00:33:33.160 hinting around

00:33:34.200 the corners,

00:33:34.940 certainly leaning

00:33:35.920 in that direction.

00:33:36.780 But we can all

00:33:37.680 see that.

00:33:38.700 It's a

00:33:39.300 separate question

00:33:40.220 whether Trump

00:33:41.820 is your best

00:33:42.540 choice as

00:33:43.180 president.

00:33:44.360 And I get

00:33:45.420 that reasonable

00:33:46.120 people could

00:33:46.780 have a different

00:33:47.260 opinion on

00:33:47.840 that.

00:33:48.380 I wouldn't

00:33:48.900 say anybody's

00:33:49.580 crazy if

00:33:51.000 they'd prefer

00:33:51.540 a different

00:33:51.980 president.

00:33:52.800 But if you're

00:33:53.480 looking at what

00:33:53.940 the Democrat

00:33:54.600 Party is and

00:33:56.760 how they act,

00:33:58.220 it looks purely

00:33:59.140 criminal to me.

00:34:00.940 Like, really

00:34:01.840 criminal.

00:34:02.680 Like, super,

00:34:03.660 super,

00:34:04.220 frickin' 0.93

00:34:04.640 criminal.

00:34:05.860 And how do

00:34:06.880 you not notice

00:34:07.800 that?

00:34:08.260 It feels

00:34:10.580 like, I

00:34:12.140 think, Bill

00:34:12.580 Maher does

00:34:13.180 notice it.

00:34:14.560 Because he's

00:34:15.380 talked around

00:34:16.140 it and about

00:34:16.760 it, you

00:34:17.420 know, about

00:34:17.700 the details of

00:34:18.560 it, enough

00:34:18.940 that it's

00:34:19.280 obvious he's

00:34:19.900 immersed and

00:34:21.620 is understanding

00:34:22.580 what's going

00:34:23.140 on.

00:34:23.800 I think he

00:34:24.340 probably, I

00:34:25.440 can't read

00:34:25.820 minds, probably

00:34:27.420 thinks that it's

00:34:28.340 correctable and

00:34:29.360 maybe it's

00:34:29.900 temporary and,

00:34:31.200 you know, the

00:34:31.460 party will

00:34:32.060 normalize.

00:34:33.880 But I'm not

00:34:35.040 really seeing an

00:34:35.780 indication of

00:34:36.400 that.

00:34:36.620 So at

00:34:38.080 some point

00:34:38.620 you're going

00:34:38.940 to have to

00:34:39.280 break with

00:34:41.200 your team

00:34:41.780 because you're

00:34:42.940 just a criminal

00:34:43.720 if you're

00:34:44.480 participating with

00:34:45.380 it.

00:34:45.540 At some point

00:34:46.200 you just

00:34:47.180 become a

00:34:47.640 criminal.

00:34:48.580 Now, I'm

00:34:49.040 not, I don't

00:34:50.480 want to call

00:34:50.860 Democrats

00:34:51.400 deplorables.

00:34:52.480 That's not

00:34:52.960 where I'm

00:34:53.220 going with

00:34:53.660 this.

00:34:54.220 I'm not

00:34:54.660 saying there's

00:34:55.040 anything wrong

00:34:55.500 with the

00:34:55.740 people.

00:34:56.820 I'm saying

00:34:57.580 that the

00:34:57.920 people are

00:34:58.360 in a

00:34:58.600 situation.

00:34:59.960 They're in

00:35:00.540 a brainwashing

00:35:01.340 situation and

00:35:02.860 the, let's

00:35:05.400 say the

00:35:05.880 signals that

00:35:06.980 they've been

00:35:07.360 brainwashed are

00:35:08.200 so clear at

00:35:09.060 this point that

00:35:09.740 people are

00:35:10.140 noticing.

00:35:10.840 The smart

00:35:11.300 people first.

00:35:12.840 It's the smart

00:35:13.760 people who are

00:35:14.200 noticing first and

00:35:15.140 they're leaving

00:35:15.560 first.

00:35:16.780 And I think

00:35:17.920 the rest are

00:35:18.520 going to start

00:35:19.020 noticing that

00:35:20.760 they're in

00:35:21.220 essentially a

00:35:23.280 criminal enterprise.

00:35:24.760 And you could

00:35:25.600 hate everything

00:35:26.320 that the

00:35:26.660 Republicans do

00:35:27.480 and they could

00:35:27.960 be political

00:35:28.600 and they could

00:35:29.180 do naked

00:35:29.620 political things

00:35:30.440 like everybody

00:35:30.960 else.

00:35:32.060 But it

00:35:32.740 doesn't look

00:35:33.480 like they're

00:35:33.860 trying to be

00:35:34.480 criminals.

00:35:36.120 It doesn't

00:35:36.820 look it to

00:35:37.220 me.

00:35:38.680 Anyway.

00:35:40.740 At Grey

00:35:41.540 Goose, we

00:35:42.040 believe that

00:35:42.540 pleasure is a

00:35:43.280 necessity.

00:35:44.380 That's why we

00:35:44.900 craft the world's

00:35:45.720 number one

00:35:46.240 premium vodka

00:35:46.960 in France using

00:35:48.060 only three of

00:35:48.780 the finest

00:35:49.320 natural ingredients.

00:35:50.820 French winter

00:35:51.340 wheat, water

00:35:52.280 from Jean Sac,

00:35:53.280 and yeast.

00:35:56.040 With Grey

00:35:56.860 Goose, we

00:35:57.600 invite you to

00:35:58.300 live in the

00:35:58.720 moment and

00:35:59.440 make time

00:35:59.900 wait.

00:36:00.680 Sip

00:36:00.860 responsibly.

00:36:05.060 Big difference.

00:36:06.320 Reid Hoffman,

00:36:07.040 as you know,

00:36:07.620 one of the

00:36:07.900 biggest donors

00:36:08.620 to the

00:36:09.020 Democrats,

00:36:10.260 was on the

00:36:11.520 all-in pod.

00:36:12.980 Now that's

00:36:13.420 extra interesting

00:36:14.260 because they

00:36:14.920 would be people

00:36:15.920 who have lived

00:36:17.100 and dealt in

00:36:17.720 the real world.

00:36:18.340 I'm sure

00:36:18.680 I'm sure they

00:36:18.840 all knew

00:36:19.100 each other.

00:36:20.660 Sacks and

00:36:21.340 Hoffman had

00:36:22.100 been part of

00:36:22.620 the PayPal

00:36:23.120 group, so

00:36:25.440 they've known

00:36:25.800 each other a

00:36:26.280 long time, I

00:36:26.800 assume.

00:36:29.620 So here's, I

00:36:31.460 didn't see the

00:36:32.020 entire pod, I

00:36:32.800 just saw clips

00:36:33.460 from it, and

00:36:34.100 I've got a few

00:36:34.800 suggestions.

00:36:36.300 My first

00:36:36.680 suggestion is for

00:36:37.520 Reid Hoffman,

00:36:38.880 how to do a

00:36:40.300 interview on

00:36:42.280 the video.

00:36:42.740 Now, if

00:36:44.740 you're looking

00:36:45.100 at me on

00:36:45.600 video, the

00:36:47.140 framing that

00:36:47.800 you see in

00:36:48.400 this video is

00:36:49.340 roughly an

00:36:50.680 ideal framing.

00:36:52.580 So I'm a

00:36:53.920 certain age and

00:36:54.680 I'm not wearing

00:36:55.540 makeup, which

00:36:56.980 is, you know,

00:36:57.380 typical on

00:36:58.080 video stuff.

00:36:59.460 These days it's

00:37:00.280 typical.

00:37:01.040 So you don't

00:37:01.820 want to get

00:37:02.160 too close, and

00:37:04.340 it's creepy if

00:37:05.160 you get too

00:37:05.620 close.

00:37:06.820 Now, I would

00:37:07.620 like to give

00:37:08.040 you my impression

00:37:08.720 of Reid Hoffman

00:37:09.480 on the all-in

00:37:10.540 pod.

00:37:10.920 This is going

00:37:11.980 to be very

00:37:12.740 disturbing to

00:37:13.460 many of you.

00:37:13.980 You might

00:37:14.240 want to look

00:37:14.640 away.

00:37:17.060 So, let me

00:37:18.440 tell you about

00:37:18.960 what all the

00:37:19.520 things I'm

00:37:19.920 doing.

00:37:21.300 This is

00:37:23.080 terrible.

00:37:24.320 Don't let

00:37:24.940 this be what

00:37:25.640 you look like

00:37:26.260 on video.

00:37:27.100 Nobody wants

00:37:27.720 to see this.

00:37:28.880 If you're male

00:37:29.720 and you're a

00:37:30.240 certain age,

00:37:30.980 nobody wants

00:37:31.700 to look at

00:37:32.040 your damn 0.93

00:37:32.460 face at

00:37:33.380 all.

00:37:34.060 Certainly not

00:37:34.660 like this.

00:37:35.620 This is the

00:37:36.140 most disturbing

00:37:36.760 thing that

00:37:37.200 could ever

00:37:37.500 happen.

00:37:38.420 Don't do

00:37:38.800 this again,

00:37:39.480 Reid.

00:37:40.920 That's my

00:37:41.540 advice.

00:37:42.960 But also,

00:37:43.780 you don't

00:37:44.060 want to do

00:37:44.460 a Dershowitz.

00:37:45.640 Have you

00:37:45.960 seen Dershowitz?

00:37:47.240 The other

00:37:47.840 big mistake

00:37:48.480 is you put

00:37:48.980 your laptop

00:37:49.680 that has

00:37:51.180 your camera

00:37:51.580 on it too

00:37:52.060 low.

00:37:53.140 So, here's

00:37:53.660 the other

00:37:53.920 way to go.

00:37:56.940 This is

00:37:57.480 the Dershowitz.

00:37:59.220 Don't do

00:37:59.760 the Dershowitz

00:38:00.460 where you're

00:38:01.700 looking down

00:38:02.160 at your

00:38:02.420 computer.

00:38:04.060 Terrible

00:38:04.460 look.

00:38:05.700 No,

00:38:06.060 terrible

00:38:06.340 look.

00:38:06.640 Oh, let

00:38:08.780 me show

00:38:09.020 you what

00:38:09.220 I have

00:38:09.580 here.

00:38:09.860 I'll turn

00:38:10.320 it around

00:38:10.760 if you

00:38:11.020 can see

00:38:11.340 it.

00:38:12.100 Can you

00:38:12.380 see this

00:38:12.760 little table?

00:38:15.380 These little

00:38:15.840 tables are

00:38:16.620 perfect.

00:38:17.920 It's like

00:38:18.380 six inches

00:38:21.280 tall or

00:38:21.800 something.

00:38:22.940 And if your

00:38:24.020 chair is

00:38:24.460 right and

00:38:25.700 you set it

00:38:26.580 down on

00:38:28.280 the little

00:38:28.560 table,

00:38:30.000 you get

00:38:30.900 perfect video

00:38:34.320 just like

00:38:34.760 this.

00:38:35.560 By the

00:38:35.940 way,

00:38:36.620 this seems

00:38:37.100 obvious.

00:38:37.760 It took

00:38:38.060 me forever

00:38:38.760 to figure

00:38:39.680 out all

00:38:40.140 these little

00:38:40.580 tips.

00:38:42.340 So, if you

00:38:44.060 don't do it

00:38:44.500 every day, I

00:38:45.260 can understand

00:38:45.860 why it's

00:38:46.520 not as

00:38:46.860 obvious.

00:38:47.860 So, don't

00:38:48.200 do that.

00:38:50.360 And then

00:38:50.800 Reid was

00:38:51.760 challenged on

00:38:52.580 giving money

00:38:53.260 to groups

00:38:53.940 that are

00:38:54.980 doing some

00:38:55.820 anti-democratic

00:38:56.840 stuff, such

00:38:57.760 as trying to

00:38:58.320 keep RFK

00:38:59.060 Jr.

00:38:59.520 off the

00:38:59.840 ballot and

00:39:00.240 stuff.

00:39:00.920 And Reid

00:39:01.260 Hoffman's

00:39:01.700 answer was

00:39:02.400 that, like

00:39:04.580 a startup,

00:39:06.120 he might

00:39:07.000 donate money

00:39:07.980 to a

00:39:08.300 startup, but

00:39:09.140 he doesn't

00:39:09.520 have control

00:39:10.120 of what all

00:39:10.820 the employees

00:39:11.360 do moment

00:39:12.180 to moment

00:39:12.640 or what

00:39:13.040 the CEO

00:39:13.480 does.

00:39:14.860 And so,

00:39:15.380 similarly, he

00:39:16.360 was saying

00:39:16.720 he gives

00:39:17.100 money to

00:39:17.580 these lots

00:39:19.920 of different

00:39:20.280 groups,

00:39:20.700 apparently.

00:39:21.460 So, he

00:39:22.000 doesn't fund

00:39:22.600 one group.

00:39:23.260 He funds

00:39:23.720 apparently

00:39:24.640 numerous

00:39:25.260 groups.

00:39:26.620 And I

00:39:28.340 think he

00:39:28.680 was acknowledging

00:39:29.340 that some

00:39:30.320 of them might

00:39:30.760 be doing

00:39:31.100 some things

00:39:31.640 he didn't

00:39:31.940 like.

00:39:33.400 Does that

00:39:34.080 sound like

00:39:34.540 a credible

00:39:35.220 answer to

00:39:35.920 you?

00:39:38.200 Here's what

00:39:38.840 would be a

00:39:39.300 credible

00:39:39.640 answer to

00:39:40.280 me.

00:39:41.980 Can you

00:39:42.640 tell me the

00:39:43.120 names of

00:39:43.660 those places

00:39:44.760 that did

00:39:45.340 things wrong

00:39:45.980 so I can

00:39:47.700 never give

00:39:48.140 them money

00:39:48.500 again because

00:39:49.080 that's

00:39:49.300 terrible?

00:39:50.920 Now, that

00:39:51.640 would be

00:39:52.060 somebody who

00:39:52.740 really didn't

00:39:53.480 want his

00:39:53.880 money to

00:39:54.280 be going

00:39:54.660 to non-democratic

00:39:56.160 stuff.

00:39:56.860 That's sort

00:39:57.300 of what you'd

00:39:57.680 expect.

00:39:58.500 It's like,

00:39:58.880 oh my god,

00:39:59.580 yeah, you're

00:40:00.060 right.

00:40:00.780 Some of that

00:40:01.280 went to some

00:40:01.820 people who

00:40:02.180 did some

00:40:02.500 bad stuff.

00:40:03.720 We have

00:40:04.260 the names

00:40:04.620 of those

00:40:04.940 groups.

00:40:05.460 I'll make

00:40:05.760 sure my

00:40:06.120 money never

00:40:06.660 gets to

00:40:07.040 them.

00:40:08.580 Now, he

00:40:09.100 did say

00:40:09.580 that he

00:40:10.420 had always

00:40:10.760 been very

00:40:11.180 clear that

00:40:12.600 nobody should

00:40:13.180 be doing

00:40:13.580 any non-democratic

00:40:14.840 stuff with

00:40:15.800 his money.

00:40:16.260 But, you

00:40:18.040 know, it's

00:40:18.640 not exactly

00:40:19.240 stopping

00:40:19.620 anybody.

00:40:21.140 So, he

00:40:24.520 also said

00:40:25.300 that he

00:40:25.580 believed what

00:40:27.140 I'd call the 0.82

00:40:27.740 fine votes

00:40:28.620 hoax.

00:40:31.020 So, Reid

00:40:31.640 Hoffman

00:40:32.060 believed that

00:40:33.180 when Trump

00:40:35.040 called

00:40:35.900 Raffzenberger in

00:40:37.680 Georgia after

00:40:38.360 the 2020

00:40:38.960 election, he

00:40:40.100 said we only

00:40:40.640 need to find

00:40:41.560 so many votes,

00:40:42.920 that that was a

00:40:43.620 clear indication

00:40:44.380 he was asking

00:40:45.120 him to cheat.

00:40:46.980 Now, how

00:40:48.720 do you process

00:40:50.220 that?

00:40:51.560 Because we

00:40:53.440 know Reid

00:40:53.900 Hoffman is

00:40:54.540 unusually smart,

00:40:56.300 but nobody

00:40:58.120 smart believes

00:40:58.800 this.

00:41:00.140 So, how do

00:41:00.540 you reconcile

00:41:01.200 unusually smart

00:41:02.760 with believing

00:41:04.460 something that

00:41:05.200 only a dumb

00:41:05.820 person would

00:41:06.300 believe?

00:41:08.460 Is that

00:41:09.180 brainwashing?

00:41:10.580 Or is he

00:41:11.360 lying?

00:41:12.820 Or is he

00:41:13.600 just didn't

00:41:14.180 know the

00:41:14.440 facts?

00:41:15.120 Now, hold

00:41:16.180 that thought.

00:41:17.100 Hold the

00:41:17.740 thought that

00:41:18.200 he thought

00:41:18.720 that with

00:41:19.820 lots of

00:41:20.240 people listening,

00:41:21.400 because Trump

00:41:22.200 knew that

00:41:22.580 there were

00:41:22.980 people on

00:41:23.840 the call,

00:41:24.800 right?

00:41:25.500 So, he

00:41:26.320 believes that

00:41:27.080 Trump, with

00:41:28.320 lots of

00:41:28.680 people listening,

00:41:30.260 would ask

00:41:31.040 somebody to

00:41:32.160 cheat on

00:41:33.140 the election

00:41:33.560 so he

00:41:33.940 could win

00:41:34.220 the election.

00:41:36.600 That is

00:41:37.380 an absurd

00:41:37.820 belief.

00:41:39.440 A reasonable

00:41:40.180 belief is

00:41:40.880 that Trump

00:41:41.340 really believed

00:41:42.400 he won,

00:41:43.480 really believed

00:41:44.340 that it

00:41:44.640 would be

00:41:44.920 obvious the

00:41:45.620 election was

00:41:46.320 stolen, and

00:41:48.020 that it

00:41:48.320 wouldn't be

00:41:48.720 that hard to

00:41:49.420 figure out how

00:41:50.020 stolen it

00:41:50.600 was if you

00:41:51.380 were close to

00:41:51.960 it like

00:41:52.280 Raffensperger is.

00:41:53.720 So, if they

00:41:54.220 just, you

00:41:55.060 know, maybe

00:41:55.380 looked a little

00:41:55.940 harder, they

00:41:57.080 might find that

00:41:57.660 some of the

00:41:58.000 votes are

00:41:58.480 illegally cast,

00:42:00.820 something like

00:42:01.580 that.

00:42:02.340 Now, the way I

00:42:03.140 heard it,

00:42:04.240 because I'm

00:42:04.700 not, well,

00:42:07.140 maybe I am.

00:42:08.280 I was going to

00:42:08.860 say I'm not

00:42:09.380 brainwashed, but

00:42:11.140 when you're

00:42:11.460 brainwashed, you

00:42:12.120 always think

00:42:12.920 you're not, so

00:42:13.640 maybe I am.

00:42:15.640 But the way it

00:42:16.340 looks to me is

00:42:17.240 that if you

00:42:20.820 really believe

00:42:21.520 that he was

00:42:22.060 trying to

00:42:22.460 overthrow the

00:42:23.060 country by

00:42:23.760 telling somebody

00:42:24.480 that he just

00:42:26.580 needs to find

00:42:27.240 X number of

00:42:27.900 votes, I

00:42:28.880 don't know how

00:42:29.360 to process

00:42:29.800 that.

00:42:30.980 But I'm

00:42:31.360 going to give

00:42:31.680 you one more

00:42:32.300 hint that

00:42:33.420 will help you

00:42:34.100 maybe come up

00:42:34.860 with a hypothesis

00:42:35.660 of why somebody

00:42:37.280 this smart and

00:42:39.120 this connected

00:42:39.740 to politics,

00:42:40.580 because he

00:42:41.320 has an

00:42:41.640 interest in

00:42:42.120 politics, he's

00:42:42.740 not a casual

00:42:43.460 observer, why

00:42:44.600 would he think

00:42:45.120 something so

00:42:46.620 absurd?

00:42:48.120 Well, you

00:42:49.080 might say he's

00:42:49.960 brainwashed because

00:42:51.080 a lot of

00:42:51.460 Democrats think

00:42:52.340 the same absurd

00:42:53.200 thing, and they

00:42:54.420 also believe a

00:42:55.180 whole bunch of

00:42:55.720 hoaxes.

00:42:56.800 So here's one

00:42:57.820 way we could

00:42:58.440 tell if he is

00:43:00.260 lying intentionally

00:43:01.440 or he has been

00:43:03.360 hypnotized by his

00:43:04.320 own team.

00:43:06.080 One way would be

00:43:07.140 if we knew that

00:43:07.940 he believed in

00:43:08.580 another hoax,

00:43:09.340 like a real

00:43:10.500 obvious one?

00:43:11.920 If you knew

00:43:13.100 that he believed

00:43:13.700 some other

00:43:14.420 real obvious

00:43:15.260 hoax, and you

00:43:16.080 were sure that

00:43:16.600 he actually

00:43:17.040 believed it,

00:43:18.260 like not just

00:43:18.920 saying he

00:43:19.280 believed it,

00:43:20.440 wouldn't that

00:43:21.040 suggest that

00:43:22.420 maybe the

00:43:22.880 problem is

00:43:23.380 brainwashing and

00:43:24.560 not an

00:43:24.980 intentionality?

00:43:26.600 Well, at the

00:43:27.420 same podcast,

00:43:28.840 he said that

00:43:29.940 the protesters

00:43:30.800 on January 6th

00:43:32.080 quote, killed

00:43:32.760 police officers.

00:43:35.700 Killed police

00:43:36.580 officers.

00:43:37.040 Now, you

00:43:39.040 know that

00:43:39.340 didn't happen,

00:43:40.020 right?

00:43:40.640 And David

00:43:41.180 Sachs said,

00:43:41.880 whoa, I

00:43:43.460 can't let that

00:43:44.140 go.

00:43:44.940 I got to

00:43:45.280 fact check

00:43:45.720 that.

00:43:46.080 There were no

00:43:46.420 police officers

00:43:47.060 killed on

00:43:47.580 January 6th.

00:43:48.920 And then he

00:43:49.600 sort of

00:43:50.000 retreated to,

00:43:50.820 well, you

00:43:51.240 know, the

00:43:51.860 one died of

00:43:52.960 something soon

00:43:53.940 after, but it

00:43:55.460 wasn't connected.

00:43:56.780 At least nobody's

00:43:57.580 made a connection.

00:43:59.480 And one of

00:44:00.200 them may have

00:44:01.200 taken his own

00:44:01.820 life, but

00:44:02.820 again, there's

00:44:05.360 no suggestion

00:44:06.060 it's connected.

00:44:08.080 So that was

00:44:09.580 a case where

00:44:11.980 I think that

00:44:12.640 news has been

00:44:13.380 told a million

00:44:14.020 times.

00:44:15.180 Like, how do

00:44:16.000 you not know

00:44:16.740 that the

00:44:17.080 protesters didn't

00:44:18.000 kill any

00:44:18.400 police?

00:44:19.640 That's really

00:44:20.500 important.

00:44:21.680 If the

00:44:22.340 protesters had

00:44:23.120 killed police,

00:44:25.000 I mean, even

00:44:25.480 I would feel

00:44:26.020 differently about

00:44:26.800 it.

00:44:28.280 So what does

00:44:30.520 that tell you

00:44:31.000 about the

00:44:31.320 other thing?

00:44:32.660 So he

00:44:32.960 believed that

00:44:33.480 the fine

00:44:34.060 votes thing

00:44:34.760 was an

00:44:36.740 attempt to

00:44:37.220 overthrow a

00:44:38.260 proper election

00:44:39.120 and he

00:44:40.160 believed that

00:44:40.620 police officers

00:44:41.400 were killed

00:44:42.040 on January

00:44:43.320 6th.

00:44:44.300 Or did he

00:44:45.140 just say it

00:44:46.020 and not

00:44:48.420 think he

00:44:49.040 wouldn't get

00:44:49.540 fact-checked?

00:44:50.400 Because of

00:44:51.120 course he

00:44:51.520 would be

00:44:51.820 fact-checked.

00:44:53.240 So I think

00:44:54.420 he wouldn't

00:44:54.840 have said it

00:44:55.640 unless he

00:44:56.920 thought it

00:44:57.260 was true.

00:44:57.660 So it

00:44:59.880 does suggest

00:45:00.700 that brain

00:45:02.420 washing might 0.97

00:45:03.140 be more

00:45:03.520 active than

00:45:04.300 some other

00:45:04.900 motive.

00:45:05.900 But we

00:45:06.200 don't know.

00:45:06.760 Can't read

00:45:07.320 his mind.

00:45:08.640 So I

00:45:09.960 don't know.

00:45:12.500 It's confusing.

00:45:13.920 I'm going to

00:45:14.340 say he

00:45:14.800 couldn't.

00:45:15.520 There's no

00:45:16.060 way that the

00:45:17.040 problem is

00:45:17.660 he's dumb. 0.91

00:45:19.360 Would you

00:45:19.960 agree we

00:45:20.500 can eliminate

00:45:21.740 dumb as

00:45:22.820 one of the

00:45:23.200 explanations?

00:45:24.180 There's just

00:45:24.540 no way he's

00:45:25.060 dumb.

00:45:26.020 That's just

00:45:26.560 not a thing.

00:45:27.660 He's very

00:45:28.520 smart.

00:45:29.680 So if you

00:45:30.440 eliminate

00:45:30.760 dumb, then

00:45:32.960 there's

00:45:33.320 misinformed.

00:45:35.520 But it

00:45:36.140 didn't sound

00:45:36.600 like he was

00:45:37.100 exactly

00:45:37.700 misinformed.

00:45:39.260 It looked

00:45:39.740 like he

00:45:40.300 knew stuff,

00:45:41.720 but he was

00:45:42.420 interpreting it

00:45:43.240 through an

00:45:43.600 absurd filter.

00:45:45.260 And that's

00:45:45.600 a tell for

00:45:46.160 brainwashing.

00:45:48.180 So I'm

00:45:48.880 going to go

00:45:49.220 with he's

00:45:50.000 actually

00:45:50.280 brainwashed.

00:45:52.280 Now he

00:45:53.000 may have

00:45:53.460 other things

00:45:54.060 going on as

00:45:54.640 well.

00:45:55.740 But I'll

00:45:57.560 just say

00:45:58.100 that Elon

00:45:58.680 Musk made 1.00

00:45:59.440 a public

00:46:01.160 prediction

00:46:02.140 here that

00:46:02.900 I have

00:46:04.620 no evidence

00:46:05.460 whatsoever

00:46:06.540 that this

00:46:08.200 would be

00:46:08.500 an accurate

00:46:08.940 statement.

00:46:10.160 So I'm

00:46:10.600 not backing

00:46:11.160 this.

00:46:11.700 I'm just

00:46:12.000 telling you

00:46:12.540 what Elon

00:46:13.680 Musk said

00:46:14.280 yesterday,

00:46:14.960 I think,

00:46:16.240 based on

00:46:16.680 the, because

00:46:17.360 of the

00:46:17.560 all-in pod.

00:46:19.900 Elon Musk

00:46:20.520 posted on

00:46:21.440 X, he

00:46:21.860 said,

00:46:22.200 Reed is

00:46:22.860 terrified of

00:46:23.560 Trump winning

00:46:24.220 and being

00:46:25.920 prosecuted for

00:46:26.800 being one

00:46:27.200 of Epstein's

00:46:27.880 top clients.

00:46:30.200 Yikes.

00:46:32.500 Yikes.

00:46:35.800 Would Elon

00:46:36.600 Musk say 0.99

00:46:37.440 that if he

00:46:39.160 didn't have

00:46:39.640 any extra

00:46:40.420 information,

00:46:41.820 you know,

00:46:42.080 beyond what

00:46:42.560 you and I

00:46:42.960 know?

00:46:44.260 Would he?

00:46:45.140 I don't know.

00:46:46.180 I mean,

00:46:46.420 actually, that's

00:46:47.260 an open question.

00:46:48.200 Would he do

00:46:48.920 it without

00:46:51.020 any extra

00:46:51.960 information?

00:46:52.560 Like, what

00:46:53.980 he knows is

00:46:54.620 exactly what

00:46:55.400 you know,

00:46:56.040 that, and

00:46:57.380 Reed has

00:46:57.840 admitted he's

00:46:58.480 used the, he

00:46:59.740 had used the

00:47:00.220 Epstein plane,

00:47:01.240 but there's

00:47:02.420 no indication

00:47:03.160 whatsoever in

00:47:04.200 the public

00:47:04.600 domain that

00:47:06.220 he did

00:47:06.500 anything illegal

00:47:07.280 or inappropriate.

00:47:09.460 All right.

00:47:09.680 I want to say

00:47:10.080 that as clearly

00:47:10.680 as possible.

00:47:11.620 I'm not aware

00:47:12.440 of anything.

00:47:14.200 Just being on

00:47:15.300 the plane is

00:47:16.360 not enough for

00:47:17.000 me, right?

00:47:18.180 Because the

00:47:18.480 plane was used

00:47:19.400 for a variety

00:47:20.440 of things,

00:47:20.880 and obviously

00:47:21.920 Epstein made

00:47:22.580 his plane

00:47:22.940 available as

00:47:24.180 part of his

00:47:24.720 networking and

00:47:25.700 doing favors

00:47:27.340 for people who

00:47:27.980 might do favors

00:47:28.640 for him later

00:47:29.200 and stuff like

00:47:29.720 that.

00:47:30.120 But none of

00:47:30.540 that's illegal

00:47:31.100 and probably

00:47:32.740 not that uncommon

00:47:33.660 for people who

00:47:34.500 have private

00:47:35.040 planes, and

00:47:36.420 more than

00:47:36.700 one of them.

00:47:39.220 So that's

00:47:40.220 quite the

00:47:40.900 accusation, and

00:47:42.200 it makes me

00:47:42.740 wonder if

00:47:43.780 Elon knows

00:47:44.800 something that

00:47:45.340 we don't

00:47:45.700 know.

00:47:46.760 But we

00:47:48.120 don't know,

00:47:49.000 so I'm not

00:47:49.720 going to assume

00:47:50.200 he knows more

00:47:50.740 than we know.

00:47:51.780 It's just an

00:47:52.480 interesting question.

00:48:55.000 Well, Mike Benz is

00:48:56.580 trying to wake up the

00:48:59.300 country on the question

00:49:00.320 of what Brazil is doing.

00:49:02.920 And here's what he said

00:49:04.240 today in all caps.

00:49:05.980 And he doesn't post in

00:49:08.060 all caps.

00:49:09.980 I think he's getting a

00:49:11.220 little frustrated that

00:49:12.960 he's clearly trying to

00:49:14.440 tell us something really

00:49:15.820 important and we're not

00:49:18.280 hearing it and the

00:49:19.140 government's acting like

00:49:20.100 it's not happening.

00:49:21.280 I think he's in some

00:49:22.780 kind of personal hell

00:49:23.800 where he can so clearly

00:49:25.800 see what's happening

00:49:26.760 behind the scenes, but

00:49:28.820 describing it to the

00:49:29.900 rest of us is almost

00:49:30.920 impossible, which I said

00:49:33.640 today.

00:49:34.160 So let me give you,

00:49:35.260 here's what he said, in

00:49:37.500 all caps.

00:49:38.580 If the Biden State

00:49:39.620 Department, USAID,

00:49:41.620 NED, whoever that is,

00:49:43.100 and a thousand USG

00:49:44.920 funded gongos, that 0.98

00:49:47.040 must be government

00:49:48.240 organized, non-government

00:49:50.960 organizations.

00:49:53.060 What's a gongo?

00:49:54.520 In Brazil, if they do not

00:49:59.040 do the below actions on

00:50:00.460 Brazil banning acts, the

00:50:02.120 Republican House of

00:50:03.560 Representatives can zero 0.99

00:50:04.560 out all of their programs

00:50:05.660 in the budget.

00:50:07.120 All right.

00:50:08.100 Does anybody understand

00:50:09.320 what any of that means?

00:50:10.140 What percentage of the

00:50:13.860 general population of

00:50:15.120 America could read that

00:50:17.020 statement from Mike

00:50:18.020 Benz, who is a perfect

00:50:19.600 communicator, by the way.

00:50:20.700 He's one of the best

00:50:21.300 communicators you'll ever

00:50:22.280 see.

00:50:22.860 It's the topic.

00:50:24.860 The topic has too many

00:50:26.100 parts.

00:50:28.780 State Department.

00:50:29.760 Okay.

00:50:30.120 Okay.

00:50:30.720 Well, what's that got to

00:50:31.560 do with USAID?

00:50:32.520 Who are they?

00:50:33.160 Wait, what?

00:50:34.100 Who's NED?

00:50:35.160 Never heard of them.

00:50:36.740 Wait, what?

00:50:37.160 There's a thousand USG

00:50:38.520 funded gongos?

00:50:39.140 What's a gongo?

00:50:40.960 What's it got to do with

00:50:41.840 Brazil?

00:50:42.760 Wait a minute.

00:50:43.480 Is this the Democrats

00:50:44.340 doing something?

00:50:45.340 Or is Brazil doing something?

00:50:47.140 Is it Bill Gates?

00:50:48.760 Is it the WHO?

00:50:51.440 Like, this story is

00:50:52.840 impossible to tell because

00:50:55.720 we don't have enough

00:50:57.940 background and we don't

00:50:59.920 have to understand what

00:51:00.820 the parts are.

00:51:03.140 So here's my thing.

00:51:04.700 I think 1% of Americans

00:51:06.180 are able to understand what

00:51:08.020 Mike Benz is saying

00:51:09.060 is a huge problem

00:51:10.640 and I'll describe it

00:51:12.820 better.

00:51:13.600 So here's my best

00:51:14.560 summary of it.

00:51:16.820 The State Department

00:51:18.360 of the United States

00:51:19.220 wants to control all

00:51:20.820 information in every

00:51:22.320 country, including the

00:51:23.940 United States, because

00:51:26.140 doing so is critical to

00:51:27.980 its goal of controlling

00:51:29.640 everything.

00:51:31.480 Controlling other countries

00:51:33.260 so we can use the

00:51:34.260 resources and they don't

00:51:35.600 become enemies and we

00:51:36.800 can control the

00:51:37.480 government, controlling

00:51:38.880 citizens in America so 0.57

00:51:40.620 that they vote the way

00:51:41.480 the State Department would

00:51:42.480 like them in their view

00:51:43.580 what's good for the

00:51:44.480 country, I suppose.

00:51:45.860 But part of the State

00:51:46.740 Department is massively

00:51:48.100 funding these

00:51:49.680 non-government

00:51:50.760 groups, many of which

00:51:53.400 are active in Brazil,

00:51:55.760 to collectively support

00:51:57.680 this idea of banning

00:51:59.020 X in Brazil.

00:52:00.400 There's one judge in

00:52:01.560 particular who seems to

00:52:03.260 be the Hannibal Lecter of

00:52:06.160 Judges.

00:52:07.320 He just seems like this

00:52:08.760 totally evil guy.

00:52:10.580 So I think the bottom

00:52:13.680 line is that Mike Benz is

00:52:15.620 trying to tell the

00:52:17.080 Republicans in the House,

00:52:19.020 because they still have the

00:52:19.840 House, that they can cut

00:52:21.440 the funding of these

00:52:23.800 organizations that are

00:52:24.920 operating against the

00:52:26.080 interests of free speech.

00:52:27.300 But it's complicated.

00:52:31.180 So, does that make

00:52:33.780 sense?

00:52:35.680 So let me just say it

00:52:36.720 one more time.

00:52:38.520 The U.S.

00:52:39.560 State Department has

00:52:40.840 massive funding for

00:52:42.060 various entities around

00:52:43.460 the world, not just

00:52:44.740 American entities, but

00:52:46.460 since they fund them,

00:52:47.380 they control them.

00:52:48.660 And those entities are

00:52:50.000 collectively putting

00:52:51.620 pressure on various

00:52:52.720 government and private

00:52:55.720 entities to censor.

00:52:57.300 And so basically, the

00:52:59.900 State Department is

00:53:01.140 operating a massive

00:53:02.180 censorship campaign,

00:53:04.860 which has the effect of

00:53:07.120 censoring U.S.

00:53:09.180 platforms like X in

00:53:11.000 other countries.

00:53:12.620 And of course, those

00:53:13.520 platforms need other

00:53:14.980 countries to survive,

00:53:16.320 right?

00:53:16.660 They're not just a one

00:53:18.180 country business.

00:53:19.220 They need Europe.

00:53:20.300 They need South America,

00:53:21.660 et cetera.

00:53:22.440 So you can force

00:53:24.140 American companies to

00:53:26.220 censor, or you can make

00:53:28.220 them get censored in

00:53:29.320 other countries through

00:53:30.560 all this, you know,

00:53:31.800 various organized

00:53:32.800 entities.

00:53:34.900 So, and the House would

00:53:36.420 have the ability to cut

00:53:38.020 those budgets if they

00:53:39.980 don't cut it out and

00:53:41.160 start acting like we'd

00:53:42.280 like them to.

00:53:44.440 So, having explained all

00:53:46.080 that, I believe that I

00:53:47.380 could, if it were really

00:53:48.960 well explained, instead of

00:53:50.600 1% of Americans

00:53:51.680 understanding the risk

00:53:52.920 involved here, I could

00:53:54.660 get that up to 2%.

00:53:55.860 I just don't know what

00:53:57.600 you do with this.

00:53:58.740 I mean, I'm actually,

00:53:59.840 I'm baffled.

00:54:02.220 Mike Benz understands.

00:54:04.240 He explains great.

00:54:06.320 It's just really

00:54:07.120 complicated.

00:54:08.700 So, humans are not able

00:54:10.920 to act on complicated

00:54:12.120 stuff.

00:54:13.040 We just can't do it.

00:54:14.540 Because we say, ah, I

00:54:16.120 don't even know what

00:54:16.820 lever to push.

00:54:17.880 What are you saying?

00:54:18.760 I'm going to go work on

00:54:20.880 things I understand.

00:54:22.180 We're always going to be

00:54:23.500 driven to things we

00:54:24.280 understand over things we

00:54:25.720 don't understand.

00:54:26.540 It's a huge, you know,

00:54:28.920 personal impulse.

00:54:31.940 Meanwhile, Laura Loomer

00:54:33.760 has a scoop.

00:54:36.000 I guess Tim Walsh's

00:54:37.480 brother, Jeff Walsh, had

00:54:39.240 not talked to his brother

00:54:40.220 in eight years.

00:54:41.140 We don't know what that

00:54:41.800 was about.

00:54:42.860 But Jeff appears to be

00:54:44.520 either a Republican or at

00:54:46.300 least anti his brother.

00:54:48.240 And he says, I'm 100%

00:54:49.900 opposed to all his

00:54:50.920 ideology.

00:54:52.460 He said that on a

00:54:53.500 Facebook post recently.

00:54:56.380 He said, I've thought

00:54:57.700 hard about doing

00:54:58.500 something like that.

00:55:02.260 He says, the stories I

00:55:03.920 could tell.

00:55:04.880 So, this is Walsh's

00:55:05.900 brother.

00:55:06.580 The stories I could tell.

00:55:08.020 Not the type of character

00:55:09.200 you want making decisions

00:55:10.420 about your future.

00:55:14.400 That's his brother.

00:55:15.480 If your brother says

00:55:18.360 you're not qualified for

00:55:19.640 your job, I think I

00:55:23.660 would listen to that.

00:55:25.260 What does the brother

00:55:26.140 know?

00:55:27.460 My God.

00:55:29.780 Anyway, the Trump

00:55:31.200 campaign has a video

00:55:33.360 ad mocking Kamala Harris

00:55:35.240 for saying, my values

00:55:36.260 have not changed.

00:55:37.220 Something she said in the

00:55:38.580 Dana Bash interview.

00:55:40.340 And so, it starts with

00:55:43.700 my values have not

00:55:44.660 changed.

00:55:45.260 And then it's a whole

00:55:45.780 bunch of cuts of her

00:55:46.760 saying things that she's

00:55:48.280 in fact changed her

00:55:49.240 mind on.

00:55:50.460 I saw Rahim Kassim,

00:55:53.320 I hope I said that

00:55:54.160 right, pointing out the

00:55:55.760 same thing I was going

00:55:56.460 to point out, which is

00:55:57.300 it'd be better if you

00:55:58.560 put her saying my values

00:56:01.280 haven't changed in

00:56:02.420 between each of the

00:56:03.360 stories of the thing

00:56:04.200 that changed.

00:56:04.820 Because you lose a

00:56:06.960 little bit of the fact

00:56:07.780 that her lie is not a

00:56:09.960 little lie.

00:56:10.840 It's gigantic.

00:56:13.440 So, if you want to tie

00:56:14.800 her to her values have

00:56:16.180 not changed, I would

00:56:17.700 really repeat it.

00:56:20.640 Remember, repetition is

00:56:22.620 persuasion.

00:56:23.660 That's the lesson you

00:56:24.680 learned today.

00:56:25.500 So, they need to repeat

00:56:26.860 the my values have not

00:56:28.000 changed a little bit

00:56:29.580 more in that ad.

00:56:30.360 I would re-edit it and

00:56:31.400 re-issue it.

00:56:31.940 Tim Walz has some

00:56:36.100 kind of political

00:56:36.820 origin story.

00:56:38.880 Again, it's just one of

00:56:40.000 these complicated stories

00:56:41.420 so I'll just kind of

00:56:42.440 brush on it.

00:56:43.660 The Washington

00:56:44.160 Examiner has the

00:56:45.040 details.

00:56:46.300 So, apparently he's

00:56:47.820 long told this story

00:56:49.020 back in 2004.

00:56:52.180 He was a folksy high

00:56:54.260 school teacher and he

00:56:56.160 took two of his

00:56:56.760 students to attend a

00:56:57.740 campaign rally for

00:56:58.720 George Bush as an

00:57:00.760 educational experience.

00:57:02.520 And he says all three

00:57:03.720 of them were denied

00:57:04.400 entry because one of

00:57:06.520 them had a John Kerry

00:57:07.640 sticker on a wallet.

00:57:11.400 Blah, blah, blah.

00:57:12.780 And then they were

00:57:15.080 interrogated and treated

00:57:16.660 poorly, etc.

00:57:18.340 Now, the reporting is

00:57:20.000 that none of that

00:57:20.640 happened.

00:57:21.500 That, in fact, they

00:57:22.300 actually got into it

00:57:23.440 and that they were not

00:57:24.760 students of his.

00:57:26.900 So, they were not his

00:57:28.000 students.

00:57:28.440 They were, they had

00:57:32.200 some, I think they were

00:57:33.820 associated through some

00:57:34.800 political group.

00:57:36.760 So, they weren't

00:57:37.380 students but they, you

00:57:38.860 know, they had some

00:57:39.420 legitimate reason to be

00:57:40.440 there, I guess, with

00:57:41.080 him.

00:57:41.240 So, I'm not sure I care

00:57:44.860 too much about his

00:57:46.240 folksy story of how he

00:57:48.240 got weaponized to become

00:57:49.780 run for office.

00:57:51.520 But, it does seem to be

00:57:53.280 kind of a pattern that he

00:57:54.640 lies about everything.

00:57:56.920 He seems to lie about

00:57:58.220 everything.

00:57:59.660 So, is he that

00:58:01.540 different than the other

00:58:02.340 candidates?

00:58:03.320 Well, I haven't seen J.D.

00:58:06.520 Vance lie about anything.

00:58:07.420 So, he must be different

00:58:10.100 than J.D.

00:58:10.600 Vance.

00:58:10.960 I haven't seen when

00:58:12.720 Vivek was running.

00:58:14.320 I don't recall him lying

00:58:15.400 about anything.

00:58:16.840 When RFK Jr. was more

00:58:18.960 actively in the race, I

00:58:21.460 don't think I've heard

00:58:22.640 anything that sounded

00:58:24.260 like a lie.

00:58:25.680 You know, maybe he was

00:58:26.400 wrong about some stuff

00:58:27.400 that would be normal.

00:58:29.080 But lie?

00:58:30.620 I didn't hear any.

00:58:32.060 Nothing that I would

00:58:32.920 identify as a lie.

00:58:34.900 So, how about

00:58:37.440 Nicole Shanahan?

00:58:39.480 So, running with

00:58:40.480 RFK Jr.

00:58:41.480 Did she ever tell a lie?

00:58:43.420 I don't think so.

00:58:44.940 I don't even think she's

00:58:45.780 been accused of it.

00:58:47.420 So, it turns out that

00:58:48.620 we've, by the way,

00:58:50.900 if you think about it,

00:58:51.660 this is one of the most

00:58:52.320 optimistic things you

00:58:53.480 could ever hear.

00:58:54.360 I just told you the names

00:58:55.760 of several candidates

00:58:57.180 for president, you know,

00:58:58.780 most of them not running

00:58:59.680 at the moment, who,

00:59:01.880 as far as I could tell,

00:59:02.720 weren't lying.

00:59:03.900 About anything.

00:59:06.300 Just think about that.

00:59:08.140 Now, Trump is Trump,

00:59:09.540 and he's going to use

00:59:11.020 his hyperbole, and the

00:59:12.340 fact checkers are going

00:59:13.240 to be all over it.

00:59:14.600 So, he's a singular 0.53

00:59:15.960 salesman, bullshitter

00:59:18.300 kind of personality.

00:59:20.040 But the fact is, we had

00:59:22.580 several major, serious,

00:59:24.860 highly qualified candidates

00:59:26.240 for president in the past

00:59:27.800 year who absolutely

00:59:29.640 didn't tell lies.

00:59:31.420 As far as I can tell.

00:59:32.720 I mean, maybe somebody

00:59:33.680 else has a different

00:59:34.340 take on that, but I

00:59:35.460 didn't see any.

00:59:36.800 And, you know, I could

00:59:37.620 identify lies on both

00:59:38.820 sides most of the time,

00:59:40.180 but I didn't see any.

00:59:42.020 So, that's amazing.

00:59:44.140 That's just amazing.

00:59:45.640 Anyway, here's

00:59:47.880 Michael Schellenberger's

00:59:49.840 take on this Brazil

00:59:51.500 situation.

00:59:52.720 He says,

00:59:53.280 today's 1984 type

00:59:55.220 totalitarianism is more

00:59:56.780 dangerous than the

00:59:57.840 tanks and torture type

00:59:59.420 of totalitarianism.

01:00:00.700 There's no need to

01:00:01.520 rig an election or

01:00:02.740 overthrow a government

01:00:03.740 if the ruling party of

01:00:05.780 the media and state

01:00:06.440 sponsored NGOs.

01:00:08.160 So, these are those,

01:00:09.180 you know, NGOs again,

01:00:11.340 control the information

01:00:12.560 environment.

01:00:13.400 There we go.

01:00:14.700 Now, we're in my domain.

01:00:16.660 That's true.

01:00:17.840 You do not need to force

01:00:19.440 people to do things you

01:00:20.580 can brainwash them into

01:00:21.680 wanting to do.

01:00:23.280 No force needed.

01:00:25.200 So, we now have a

01:00:26.960 situation in which our

01:00:29.040 government, working with

01:00:30.980 the media, has enough

01:00:32.560 technique that they can

01:00:33.980 brainwash the public to

01:00:35.420 believe anything.

01:00:37.540 Now, governments could

01:00:39.660 always brainwash the

01:00:40.960 public to believe

01:00:41.620 anything, but they're

01:00:43.140 better at it now.

01:00:44.820 They're way better at it

01:00:46.100 now.

01:00:47.040 So, when you look at

01:00:47.900 the brainwashing

01:00:50.340 skills, we're now into

01:00:52.860 really dangerous

01:00:54.040 territory.

01:00:56.820 So, Michael

01:00:58.500 Schellenberger goes on,

01:00:59.740 Brazil's Supreme Court

01:01:00.800 just banned X and

01:01:02.080 announced an $8,900

01:01:03.240 day penalty for those 0.64

01:01:05.220 who use a VPN to

01:01:06.900 evade it.

01:01:08.240 So, if you use a VPN

01:01:09.620 and they catch you,

01:01:12.420 they're going to find

01:01:13.820 you this enormous amount.

01:01:14.880 it's not an outlier.

01:01:20.260 This is now the normal

01:01:21.600 way that the world is

01:01:22.540 working.

01:01:23.820 So, Schellenberger's all 0.97

01:01:25.640 over it.

01:01:26.140 And the end

01:01:26.960 wokeness account points

01:01:27.960 out that

01:01:28.680 Kamala probably supports

01:01:30.820 what Brazil just did.

01:01:33.100 And how do we know

01:01:34.140 that?

01:01:34.500 there are videos of

01:01:38.280 her talking about how

01:01:39.380 you can't have all

01:01:41.080 that free speech.

01:01:42.520 She doesn't say it

01:01:43.280 that way, but she 0.98

01:01:44.460 says, oh, yeah, you

01:01:45.260 got to have laws, you

01:01:47.020 know, controlling the

01:01:48.120 speech on the

01:01:48.760 platforms.

01:01:49.520 So, she's in favor of

01:01:50.780 that.

01:02:08.120 So, Rasmussen

01:02:09.380 reports, my favorite

01:02:11.460 source for all

01:02:12.680 allegations of

01:02:13.920 election shenanigans,

01:02:16.240 points out that

01:02:17.200 a cyber expert

01:02:20.560 had recently found

01:02:21.560 that the

01:02:22.520 compilers installed

01:02:23.820 on some of the

01:02:25.120 Maricopa

01:02:26.000 election-related

01:02:28.060 machines

01:02:28.740 could modify and

01:02:30.740 create

01:02:31.000 executable files

01:02:33.340 and drivers

01:02:33.960 potentially altering

01:02:35.400 election results

01:02:36.220 undetected.

01:02:39.320 Let me say that

01:02:40.260 again.

01:02:41.140 So, a cyber

01:02:41.720 expert looked at

01:02:43.180 some of the

01:02:43.760 machines.

01:02:44.220 I don't know if

01:02:44.600 these are tabulators

01:02:45.480 or voting machines.

01:02:46.620 It might be a, I

01:02:48.060 don't know, what is

01:02:48.560 an EMS?

01:02:50.160 But it's something in

01:02:51.080 the process.

01:02:51.720 It's either the

01:02:52.200 machine or the

01:02:52.820 tabulator, I guess.

01:02:53.640 But it has some

01:02:56.840 code on it that

01:02:58.040 somebody from the

01:02:58.700 outside could modify

01:02:59.960 to change the

01:03:01.380 election without

01:03:02.480 being detected.

01:03:04.260 Now, this was

01:03:04.760 found a few years

01:03:05.640 ago.

01:03:06.800 Here's the update.

01:03:08.400 Still there.

01:03:11.760 Now, is this

01:03:12.720 story true?

01:03:13.460 Could it possibly be

01:03:16.200 true that a cyber

01:03:17.160 expert found some

01:03:18.760 code on, you know,

01:03:20.400 a key piece of

01:03:21.380 machinery in

01:03:22.040 Maricopa that

01:03:23.560 very clearly would

01:03:24.620 allow a bad person

01:03:25.800 to get in and

01:03:26.440 change the results

01:03:27.240 without getting

01:03:27.780 caught and that

01:03:29.440 it's still there?

01:03:31.800 That doesn't even

01:03:32.700 sound like it could

01:03:33.420 be true.

01:03:34.980 So, I'm going to

01:03:36.140 say maybe there's

01:03:37.440 more to the story

01:03:38.000 than we know.

01:03:39.060 But the number

01:03:40.620 of, you know,

01:03:42.000 smoking-looking

01:03:43.220 guns is just off

01:03:45.040 the chart right now.

01:03:46.500 But they all just

01:03:47.400 sort of look like

01:03:48.940 you're almost there

01:03:50.460 to prove a kraken

01:03:51.760 but not quite.

01:03:54.280 So, I will

01:03:56.200 triple down on my

01:03:57.620 prediction for the

01:03:58.560 election.

01:03:59.240 I believe that it's

01:04:00.700 going to be a

01:04:01.340 coin flip election

01:04:02.680 50-50 by the time

01:04:04.480 we get, yes, by the

01:04:06.320 time we get to the

01:04:07.000 election and that

01:04:08.620 the coin flip will

01:04:10.000 land on the edge.

01:04:12.480 We will not have a

01:04:13.760 president after the

01:04:14.720 election.

01:04:15.880 We'll eventually get

01:04:17.060 something done.

01:04:18.140 I mean, there'll be

01:04:18.580 some leader

01:04:19.080 eventually.

01:04:19.860 But I don't think

01:04:20.720 we're going to have

01:04:21.160 one within a week

01:04:21.960 of the election.

01:04:23.380 Probably not two

01:04:24.280 weeks.

01:04:25.460 I think for at

01:04:26.540 least a month we

01:04:27.740 will be leaderless.

01:04:30.740 And it's because

01:04:31.620 we'll be fighting

01:04:32.300 about the election.

01:04:33.620 There will be all

01:04:34.400 kinds of claims.

01:04:36.580 All kinds of

01:04:37.340 claims.

01:04:37.680 The most likely

01:04:38.420 outcome, based on

01:04:40.000 everything I know,

01:04:41.140 is if you start

01:04:41.840 with the assumption

01:04:42.420 that much of the

01:04:44.000 country believes that

01:04:45.020 Trump would be an

01:04:45.760 existential threat and

01:04:47.540 that everything's on

01:04:48.520 the table to stop

01:04:49.360 him.

01:04:50.440 That guarantee is

01:04:51.560 cheating.

01:04:52.920 Would you agree?

01:04:54.340 It guarantees it.

01:04:55.900 You don't have to

01:04:56.740 wonder.

01:04:57.780 It guarantees it.

01:04:59.200 Now, the part we

01:05:00.020 don't know is if it

01:05:02.120 would be of any

01:05:03.020 scale that would

01:05:03.800 matter.

01:05:05.120 That part we don't

01:05:06.020 know.

01:05:07.060 But you can guarantee

01:05:08.820 that in a big old

01:05:10.420 country with lots of

01:05:11.400 people who think

01:05:11.960 Hitler might come to 0.97

01:05:12.880 power, somebody's

01:05:14.620 going to fill out two

01:05:15.380 ballots when they only

01:05:16.320 should have done

01:05:16.800 one, right?

01:05:18.160 It might be trivial,

01:05:19.300 but you can guarantee

01:05:20.840 it's going to happen.

01:05:22.380 Now, if you can

01:05:22.980 guarantee that there

01:05:23.860 will be irregularities,

01:05:26.640 you know, be they

01:05:27.200 small or be they

01:05:28.400 large, then you can

01:05:30.200 also guarantee that

01:05:31.300 the Republicans will

01:05:32.360 be dead set on not

01:05:34.340 accepting an election

01:05:36.080 when there are so

01:05:37.360 many claims.

01:05:38.980 So the only thing

01:05:39.880 we'll know for the

01:05:40.480 first month or so is

01:05:41.880 that there'll be all

01:05:42.680 kinds of claims of

01:05:44.160 illegality and

01:05:45.960 probably either way

01:05:46.860 it goes, you know,

01:05:47.940 if it goes for or

01:05:49.980 against Trump, there

01:05:50.740 will be claims on the

01:05:51.580 other side or his

01:05:52.960 side.

01:05:54.240 And there is no time

01:05:55.860 to adjudicate all

01:05:57.660 those claims.

01:05:58.820 So what are you going

01:05:59.680 to do?

01:06:00.640 Are you just going to

01:06:01.460 certify it when there

01:06:02.600 are like hundreds of

01:06:04.180 legitimate sounding

01:06:05.220 claims with actual

01:06:06.340 whistleblowers and

01:06:07.420 witnesses and

01:06:08.240 documents?

01:06:09.900 Well, maybe, but

01:06:12.040 that's not a stable

01:06:13.120 situation.

01:06:15.580 So I think the most

01:06:16.680 likely outcome is

01:06:18.140 they're going to find

01:06:18.880 at least small

01:06:19.740 incidents of election

01:06:21.980 irregularities and it

01:06:23.600 will be enough to put

01:06:26.120 everything off the

01:06:27.240 rails.

01:06:28.700 Eventually it will be

01:06:29.660 okay.

01:06:31.900 I'll say again, the

01:06:32.980 only real thing I worry

01:06:34.140 about in this country

01:06:34.980 besides the growing

01:06:37.240 DEI stuff is the

01:06:41.300 debt.

01:06:42.040 the rest of the

01:06:44.660 stuff I'm pretty sure

01:06:45.740 we can work through,

01:06:46.700 but the debt, I

01:06:48.980 don't know how that

01:06:49.600 gets worked out.

01:06:51.280 So anyway, that's all

01:06:52.260 I've got to say for

01:06:53.240 today.

01:06:57.600 In a few minutes, I'm

01:07:00.100 going to create a

01:07:00.660 video of opening up

01:07:02.060 the first look at the

01:07:03.380 Dilbert calendar.

01:07:04.580 It's not available.

01:07:05.760 You can't buy it yet.

01:07:06.760 I'll tell you when you

01:07:07.540 can and where to get

01:07:08.680 it.

01:07:08.880 It'll only be on one

01:07:09.740 website.

01:07:10.200 But when it's

01:07:12.400 available, which will

01:07:13.200 be in the next few

01:07:13.740 days, I'll tell you

01:07:15.500 more about it.

01:07:16.940 And kind of exciting

01:07:18.680 because the Dilbert

01:07:20.680 calendar had to be,

01:07:21.700 had to take a year

01:07:23.380 off.

01:07:24.100 You may have heard

01:07:24.760 why, but it's back.

01:07:26.960 And this time, it's

01:07:28.820 made in America.

01:07:29.700 That's why it took so

01:07:32.080 long.

01:07:32.640 It would have been

01:07:33.060 easier if I just sort

01:07:34.280 of did it the old

01:07:34.920 way.

01:07:35.800 But it took a lot of,

01:07:38.180 let's say, took some

01:07:39.380 somersaults to figure out

01:07:42.020 a way to make it in

01:07:42.780 America and get it 0.97

01:07:44.480 within the price that

01:07:46.320 is reasonable.

01:07:47.580 I think we succeeded.

01:07:48.900 I'll tell you all about

01:07:49.640 that later.

01:07:50.520 All right.

01:07:50.860 That's all I got for

01:07:51.560 today.

01:07:51.880 I'm going to talk to

01:07:52.460 the locals, people

01:07:53.340 privately.

01:07:54.740 Thanks for joining on

01:07:55.580 Action Rumble and

01:07:57.060 YouTube.

01:07:57.400 I will see you

01:07:58.260 tomorrow, same time,

01:07:59.160 same place.

01:08:00.160 You're awesome.
