Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2597 CWSA 09⧸14⧸24

00:00:00.000 Take it up the levels that nobody can even comprehend with their tiny, shiny human brains.

00:00:05.980 All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard chalice or stye and a canteen

00:00:10.720 jug or flax, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:13.940 They're eating the dogs.

00:00:15.200 They're eating the cats.

00:00:16.560 They're eating the dogs.

00:00:18.300 Just had to add that.

00:00:19.820 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that

00:00:23.420 makes everything better.

00:00:24.600 It's called the simultaneous sip, and you're here for it.

00:00:28.800 Go.

00:00:30.000 Oh, such pleasure.

00:00:37.380 Well, there's a new study about coffee.

00:00:39.220 Are you surprised?

00:00:40.720 There's always a new study about coffee.

00:00:42.640 And this time, according to the Indian Express, that coffee is a repository of antioxidants.

00:00:49.300 And the more you drink, the better your skin looks.

00:00:52.800 That's right.

00:00:54.560 Those who drink black coffee don't crack.

00:00:58.160 No wrinkles.

00:00:58.740 That's why I look so smooth, don't I?

00:01:02.620 Totally smooth.

00:01:04.440 It's all the coffee.

00:01:06.120 I used to be full of wrinkles.

00:01:07.420 But I drank coffee until they went away.

00:01:11.000 No, that's not true.

00:01:12.500 That's not true.

00:01:13.160 I rubbed it on my body until it went away.

00:01:16.260 By the way, it reminds me of my favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger story.

00:01:21.020 When he was first coming up and everybody could see that he was the star and he started winning things.

00:01:28.160 And he'd go to the gym and he'd go to the gym and the young guys would be like, what's your secret?

00:01:32.360 What's your secret?

00:01:33.080 And people asked him so often that he started to carry a little bottle of oil with him.

00:01:38.420 And it was just motor oil.

00:01:41.100 It literally was motor oil.

00:01:43.180 And he'd say, he'd take it out of his bag and he'd say, if you rub this on your muscles and don't wash it off, leave it on there for 24 hours.

00:01:53.180 It'll make you stronger, make your muscles grow or something.

00:01:56.180 And so he would get these young guys in the gym to take a bottle of motor oil, rub it all over their body, and leave it on for a day.

00:02:05.820 And then later he'd tell them it was a joke.

00:02:11.440 That's one of the best stories.

00:02:12.700 I hope it's true.

00:02:14.100 I think Arnold tells that story.

00:02:17.340 Well, anyway, OnlyFans brought in $1.7 billion more than the entire cumulative NBA salaries.

00:02:26.180 So the creators on, this is just not the owner, but the creators brought in more money than the NBA, at least the players.

00:02:36.520 Now, there's some one creator who brought in $26 million a year or $65 million a year or something.

00:02:45.020 So some of the money is just crazy.

00:02:47.540 But here's my prediction.

00:02:49.220 Before the internet, you were lucky to find anybody in your little town who was willing to give you a baby and spend time with you.

00:03:00.180 So you marry that person and you'd be happy with it.

00:03:02.240 You didn't even have to be in love.

00:03:03.420 It just had to make sense.

00:03:04.440 So, you know, that potentially could be a stable situation, even if it's not ideal.

00:03:11.360 But once you have the internet, and everybody can find everybody, no matter where they're hiding,

00:03:17.440 it kind of makes sense that we would turn into harems.

00:03:23.500 And we have.

00:03:25.240 So, for example, if you're an OnlyFans creator and you're a woman,

00:03:29.400 you have thousands of men who are sexually satisfying themselves to one person, the same person.

00:03:37.620 That's a harem. 1.00

00:03:40.620 And they don't have better options because the people around them are saying,

00:03:45.480 are you over six feet tall?

00:03:47.240 Do you make six figures?

00:03:48.420 And they're all sleeping with what?

00:03:52.800 Somebody who also has a harem.

00:03:54.980 So the top, you know, I don't know, 5% or 1% of men have unlimited options because all the women want the top 1% or 5%. 0.99

00:04:03.260 So they basically have virtual harems that are changing over all the time.

00:04:08.320 But the women, too. 0.96

00:04:10.480 They're just going on OnlyFans and they create their own harems. 1.00

00:04:14.420 What about the ones who are not doing any of those things?

00:04:19.020 Well, they're either completely sexless or they're going from one, you know, incomplete bad situation to another.

00:04:28.000 But basically, the world has just figured out that I think men have gotten to the point, maybe 80% of them, 0.72

00:04:37.280 that they'd rather beat off to a woman that they see on a digital thing every now and then

00:04:42.040 because it feels better than the relationship they could get in the real world.

00:04:47.400 Now, that's just an observation.

00:04:50.740 I'm not even saying, you know, how it should be different or, you know, what people should be doing with their life.

00:04:56.480 I don't have any advice.

00:04:58.220 I'm just saying that we've evolved into a essentially a harem of civilization.

00:05:05.740 But at least it's fair.

00:05:07.260 Men and women have their own harems just differently.

00:05:10.600 Well, here's some news from AI.

00:05:13.160 Google's deep mind taught a robot how to tie a shoelace.

00:05:17.180 Now, if you don't think that sounds impressive, consider that whenever you see a robot doing something,

00:05:23.840 it seems to be using one hand at a time.

00:05:26.620 It doesn't do a lot of things where both hands are coordinated.

00:05:30.720 But imagine tying a shoelace.

00:05:33.340 If your robot can tie a shoelace, that's pretty close to doing everything you're going to need it to do.

00:05:40.840 So, it can do that and clean the kitchen. 0.79

00:05:44.240 And so, it did about 98% of the things I wanted it to do.

00:05:48.400 But the two-hand coordination thing is the one that impressed me.

00:05:52.780 So, if you can get your robot to do two-handed coordination,

00:05:56.800 the time between now and the time that you will have a full robot tennis partner,

00:06:03.860 literally a tennis partner, a robot who can serve and hit the ball back,

00:06:10.960 is probably five years.

00:06:14.880 It might have more to do with, you know, battery life and a little mechanical stuff

00:06:18.840 to make sure the robot doesn't, you know, doesn't fall over.

00:06:22.540 But they're pretty much there.

00:06:23.960 So, if it's coordinated with two hands and has vision,

00:06:27.300 I'm pretty sure that a robot can play tennis, like legitimately play tennis,

00:06:32.920 you know, like hit every ball back in less than five years.

00:06:36.920 But it could be a year.

00:06:38.520 We might be one year away from a tennis-playing robot.

00:06:42.180 I'm going to get one.

00:06:44.720 Well, we've been hearing for years that geothermal energy could be the big thing,

00:06:48.600 but it never is.

00:06:49.260 So, geothermal is basically a two- or three-mile hole in the ground

00:06:53.940 where if you go deep enough, the earth is super hot,

00:06:58.360 the waters down there is super hot,

00:07:00.560 and you can use that super hot water to create energy

00:07:04.320 or warm your house or whatever.

00:07:06.480 But it's very expensive to drill a two-mile deep hole or three miles.

00:07:12.440 However, it turns out that at least one company,

00:07:15.360 Fervo Energy, is a Texas startup or Upstart.

00:07:21.800 They call it an Upstart.

00:07:22.860 I don't know.

00:07:23.260 Maybe it's been around a while.

00:07:24.720 But they're using fracking.

00:07:28.320 So, the analogy was made that in the oil business,

00:07:32.640 when the idea of fracking first came up,

00:07:35.340 everybody said, that'll never work.

00:07:37.400 You crazy bastard with your fracking.

00:07:40.320 Get out of here.

00:07:41.020 But apparently, there was one entrepreneur who made fracking practical.

00:07:46.520 And then once it was practical, everybody had to run and get some.

00:07:50.280 But the same thing's happening with geothermal.

00:07:52.720 There's a fracking-like technology that's being employed that,

00:07:57.880 if it works, could be a complete game-changer for thermal energy.

00:08:02.980 And unlike oil, where you have to be in a certain place to get it,

00:08:08.840 you could put a hole in the ground in a lot more places.

00:08:12.680 So, a hole in the ground as your energy source,

00:08:15.660 it's just the cost of the hole.

00:08:18.420 And they may be on the verge of having this enormous economic breakthrough

00:08:24.020 in building a hole and using fracking in some way.

00:08:30.160 Anyway, I saw the announcement that a company called Bots Inc.

00:08:37.980 And what do they do?

00:08:38.980 They make bots, I guess.

00:08:41.260 Blockchain and robotics technology.

00:08:44.020 So, they're robotics and blockchain.

00:08:45.620 I don't know what the blockchain has to do with the robotics.

00:08:48.320 But they announced that they're going to use Grok as their president.

00:08:52.520 So, rather than having a human president,

00:08:54.760 they're going to use AI.

00:08:56.200 And they chose Grok.

00:08:57.280 Now, do you know what the hidden secret story behind this story is?

00:09:03.260 I'm pretty sure.

00:09:05.020 I might be wrong.

00:09:07.020 But I'm pretty sure this is the company that at one time announced

00:09:10.320 that they were going to build their robots or their AI in the robot.

00:09:14.860 It was going to be based on my personality.

00:09:17.000 Like, literally, they named me because I had said publicly,

00:09:22.520 anybody who wants to, you know, use my personality for AI,

00:09:26.320 it'd be a good idea.

00:09:27.200 And you have full rights.

00:09:28.740 So, they had actually planned to do that.

00:09:31.660 And they were going to make their robot basically my personality.

00:09:36.640 Now, after I got canceled, I'm pretty sure they changed those plans.

00:09:42.900 Because they don't talk about that anymore.

00:09:45.100 And I don't blame them.

00:09:46.560 But they do say that their robot's going to be sort of a casual, funny robot.

00:09:53.660 And I say to myself,

00:09:54.860 I wonder if the only thing they changed about my personality was my voice.

00:09:59.140 Because all you'd have to do is change my voice.

00:10:02.600 And nobody would recognize it as anybody's specific personality.

00:10:07.000 But it would still have one.

00:10:09.940 So, I have some curiosity.

00:10:12.640 And by the way, it's completely authorized.

00:10:14.940 If they want to use my personality and put it in the robot

00:10:18.580 and not give me credit in any way, totally okay.

00:10:23.220 I'm okay with that.

00:10:25.360 So, we'll see.

00:10:25.960 There's a study written about in SciPost.

00:10:32.140 It says, at least with mice, if the grandfather mouse works out,

00:10:37.680 and then there's two generations of mouse, mouses, mice that follow,

00:10:42.820 that the grandchild mouse will have better cognitive abilities

00:10:48.320 because the grandfather worked out.

00:10:51.920 So, the more exercise the grandfather mouse got,

00:10:55.200 as each generation was born,

00:10:58.060 the grandchild generation was cognitively superior

00:11:03.460 in much the way that the grandparent became by exercising

00:11:08.380 because exercise is good for your cognition, I guess.

00:11:11.460 Now, suppose I got replicated in humans

00:11:14.500 where you would know that if you exercised efficiently,

00:11:19.640 your grandkids would be smarter and more successful.

00:11:24.900 It's not confirmed with humans.

00:11:27.440 But if it worked in mice, there's a good chance.

00:11:31.540 There's a good chance.

00:11:32.420 And to me, this, if it's true,

00:11:37.080 it raises the possibility that one of the weirdest things

00:11:41.400 I've ever thought about evolution might be true.

00:11:43.920 This is just for fun, by the way.

00:11:45.800 So, you don't need to jump on me for my lack of scientific understanding.

00:11:51.400 This is just for fun.

00:11:52.360 I'm not trying to change anybody's minds.

00:11:54.220 But I've always said to myself,

00:11:56.240 if evolution is indeed the explanation of how we got here,

00:12:01.540 and if we're a simulation, it's not.

00:12:04.280 But if it is,

00:12:06.440 I've never quite bought the fact that you could get all the way here

00:12:10.800 with nothing but the survivors.

00:12:16.180 You know, the survivors have qualities that get passed on.

00:12:18.680 It didn't seem like enough.

00:12:20.400 I mean, obviously, it's part of it.

00:12:21.940 It would certainly be part of it.

00:12:23.740 It might be most of it.

00:12:25.180 But I always had this assumption

00:12:26.980 that what you want the most when you're alive

00:12:31.640 might get passed down to your children.

00:12:34.660 And it actually might express itself eventually genetically.

00:12:40.020 So, if you can do something as in your lifetime

00:12:44.600 that changes the permanent,

00:12:47.160 I don't know if it's genetic or chemical structure,

00:12:49.660 of a grandchild,

00:12:51.940 that would suggest that what you wanted

00:12:54.680 creates evolution.

00:12:58.480 In other words,

00:12:59.140 your mental state would be the driver of your evolution

00:13:01.800 because you'd want to be healthy,

00:13:04.120 so you would exercise.

00:13:06.400 And that wanting for yourself to be healthy

00:13:09.160 gets passed down to the next generation.

00:13:12.400 So, in a sense, you could say,

00:13:13.820 well, it's the exercise that caused

00:13:15.640 the grandkids to be smarter.

00:13:18.180 But you don't exercise unless you decided to.

00:13:22.560 And you said, I would be a better creature,

00:13:26.580 whether I'm a better mouse or a better human,

00:13:28.860 if I exercised.

00:13:30.140 So, your desire to exercise

00:13:32.260 could get translated into your actions,

00:13:36.380 which get translated into changing the,

00:13:39.320 I don't know if it's genetic or just chemical structure

00:13:41.840 of the grandkids.

00:13:43.460 So, it's just kind of interesting

00:13:44.580 that maybe you could will your way

00:13:46.680 into evolution

00:13:48.260 in some special cases.

00:13:52.740 Just for fun, that was.

00:13:55.380 All right.

00:13:56.380 United Airlines is going to add Starlink Wi-Fi

00:13:59.160 to all of its planes.

00:14:00.180 It might be the end of 2025

00:14:01.440 when they have it done.

00:14:02.380 Have you, have any of you had this experience

00:14:05.500 where you take a long flight over water

00:14:08.440 where they don't typically have Wi-Fi

00:14:10.940 and you think to yourself,

00:14:13.040 I'm in the air in this device

00:14:16.120 and I'm in the oldest technology possible.

00:14:19.440 The plane's 30 years old

00:14:21.060 and it doesn't have Wi-Fi

00:14:22.220 because it's over the ocean.

00:14:24.340 It just feels so barbaric.

00:14:26.360 And if I were going to,

00:14:28.860 if I were going to buy stock in a state,

00:14:32.940 I would buy stock in Hawaii.

00:14:35.440 Because if you fly from the West Coast to Hawaii,

00:14:38.980 you spend five or six hours without Wi-Fi,

00:14:42.240 which is crazy in today's modern world.

00:14:46.000 But if you gave me Wi-Fi,

00:14:47.300 I wouldn't even mind the five-hour flight.

00:14:49.340 I'd just get some work done

00:14:50.420 and I'd entertain myself

00:14:52.420 and it'd be great.

00:14:54.100 So my enthusiasm to visit Hawaii

00:14:59.680 would go up 30%

00:15:02.820 by taking the pain of the flight away.

00:15:06.120 That's a pretty big change in my mind.

00:15:08.520 Maybe you too.

00:15:09.680 I have a theory about the pyramids.

00:15:11.160 You want to hear it?

00:15:11.980 I watch the show on YouTube.

00:15:13.340 I don't know if any of it's true.

00:15:15.000 But apparently there's some pottery

00:15:16.660 from the ancient Egyptians

00:15:18.600 that could not have been made

00:15:20.480 by ancient Egyptians.

00:15:22.120 Because the ancient Egyptian tools

00:15:23.900 were softer than the pots.

00:15:26.360 And the pots were made to machine precision

00:15:28.400 way beyond anything

00:15:30.360 that any ancient could have made.

00:15:32.580 And some of the thinking is that

00:15:34.260 the ancient Egyptians didn't make them.

00:15:37.140 That they just still had them.

00:15:40.200 And that there was...

00:15:41.420 Some of the pottery was made with rocks

00:15:43.740 that are so hard

00:15:44.720 that they would last basically forever.

00:15:47.540 And so they just had them

00:15:49.320 from some previous civilization.

00:15:52.120 They were just left over

00:15:53.220 from another civilization

00:15:54.380 that knew how to make them.

00:15:56.380 And apparently the pottery from Egypt

00:15:58.940 got less advanced every year.

00:16:04.000 Which would suggest,

00:16:05.540 and you've probably heard

00:16:06.660 lots of speculation about this,

00:16:09.280 that the pyramids were not built

00:16:11.040 by the Egyptians.

00:16:11.720 Just like the pottery

00:16:14.360 might not have been built

00:16:16.220 by the Egyptians.

00:16:17.060 But rather,

00:16:17.860 the Egyptians may have inherited 0.92

00:16:19.260 this leftover stuff

00:16:21.180 from some advanced civilization.

00:16:23.240 So now I'm going to give you

00:16:24.420 my theory about

00:16:26.040 why the pyramids exist.

00:16:28.660 And I don't know

00:16:29.260 if you've heard of this one.

00:16:30.400 It's just speculation.

00:16:31.760 It's not based on much.

00:16:33.660 So here's my hypothesis.

00:16:34.980 I put myself in the place

00:16:37.760 of the early civilization.

00:16:41.140 So let's say

00:16:41.640 you were an advanced civilization,

00:16:43.660 but you were isolated

00:16:45.240 and the rest of the world

00:16:46.720 were barbarians. 0.75

00:16:48.500 And you also knew

00:16:49.720 that your time was limited.

00:16:51.640 Could be that,

00:16:52.700 I don't know,

00:16:53.080 maybe you had some disease

00:16:54.120 that was killing you all.

00:16:55.740 Maybe the barbarians 0.98

00:16:56.900 were outnumbering you

00:16:57.900 and even with your advanced technology,

00:16:59.820 you knew you couldn't hold them off.

00:17:01.200 You were going to get destroyed.

00:17:02.800 So you reached a point

00:17:03.720 in your civilization

00:17:06.220 where you knew

00:17:06.960 you couldn't last.

00:17:08.680 But you wanted to tell

00:17:10.020 future generations forever

00:17:11.640 that you had once been great.

00:17:15.500 So you build a structure

00:17:17.080 that can't be missed,

00:17:19.500 will never be buried in sand,

00:17:21.960 cannot be destroyed

00:17:23.280 by floods or water,

00:17:25.140 and will be there

00:17:26.000 in 10,000 years.

00:17:29.000 So you build a pyramid.

00:17:30.540 The most sturdy structure

00:17:32.720 you could ever imagine building

00:17:34.600 because the wind

00:17:35.640 can't blow it over,

00:17:36.880 hurricanes can't hurt it,

00:17:38.480 probably water

00:17:39.900 if the Sphinx was there

00:17:41.380 before the...

00:17:49.220 Hold on.

00:17:53.320 Weird.

00:17:54.180 I have a video queued up

00:17:55.920 that just...

00:17:56.720 I just heard itself

00:17:57.880 for no reason.

00:17:58.400 Anyway,

00:18:01.100 so my theory is

00:18:02.200 that the ancient

00:18:02.920 advanced civilization

00:18:04.320 wanted to not be forgotten,

00:18:07.080 and so they built something

00:18:08.140 that would outlast them.

00:18:11.160 I'll just throw that in the mix.

00:18:14.580 X is shutting down

00:18:16.320 its headquarters

00:18:17.700 in San Francisco,

00:18:19.000 which used to be

00:18:19.560 the headquarters of Twitter,

00:18:20.640 and Elon Musk

00:18:23.180 is not so happy

00:18:24.180 with California,

00:18:25.260 and he's done.

00:18:27.020 So that building

00:18:27.720 is now,

00:18:29.120 or at least the people,

00:18:30.580 the business part of it,

00:18:32.020 is gone

00:18:32.500 down in San Francisco.

00:18:36.220 Brazil,

00:18:37.140 do you remember

00:18:37.780 it froze the assets

00:18:38.760 of Starlink

00:18:39.660 because it was mad

00:18:40.560 that X,

00:18:42.060 and those two companies

00:18:43.220 are not related

00:18:44.020 except that

00:18:44.980 Musk owns the people.

00:18:47.200 So they were trying

00:18:48.800 to punish X,

00:18:50.420 and to do that,

00:18:51.160 they froze the assets

00:18:52.000 of Starlink

00:18:52.760 in Brazil.

00:18:54.420 But they released

00:18:55.380 the assets

00:18:55.840 of Starlink

00:18:56.420 after they stole

00:18:57.320 $3.3 million,

00:18:58.900 which was owed

00:19:00.020 by the other company.

00:19:02.560 So they fined X

00:19:04.100 for what they claimed

00:19:05.260 to be

00:19:05.920 information-related

00:19:07.900 stuff,

00:19:08.940 I guess.

00:19:09.760 And,

00:19:10.200 but they took the money

00:19:11.940 from a completely

00:19:12.640 different company.

00:19:16.160 Brazil,

00:19:17.200 what the hell

00:19:18.840 is wrong with you?

00:19:21.820 You've become,

00:19:22.920 I don't even know

00:19:23.520 what Brazil is anymore.

00:19:24.700 Is it just some

00:19:25.280 weird third world

00:19:26.940 dictator bullshit

00:19:28.320 country?

00:19:30.060 It's not even

00:19:30.760 trying to be,

00:19:32.820 you know,

00:19:33.440 to play fair

00:19:34.120 with the rest

00:19:34.580 of the world.

00:19:35.660 So improve your game,

00:19:37.200 Brazil.

00:19:40.380 Trump

00:19:40.900 was in

00:19:41.900 Nevada,

00:19:43.420 and he told him

00:19:44.300 of his idea

00:19:45.160 to make

00:19:46.400 federal land

00:19:47.280 available

00:19:47.660 to build

00:19:48.220 Hollywood-like

00:19:49.260 studios in Nevada

00:19:50.480 to put the real

00:19:52.080 Hollywood

00:19:52.480 in California

00:19:53.840 and a business.

00:19:55.920 Now,

00:19:56.520 I love that idea.

00:19:58.580 I don't know

00:19:59.380 if I put odds

00:20:00.300 on it happening,

00:20:01.680 but if he did

00:20:02.300 make

00:20:02.720 land available,

00:20:05.280 he would make

00:20:05.920 federal land

00:20:06.760 available for that,

00:20:07.660 as well as his idea

00:20:08.700 of building

00:20:09.140 futuristic cities,

00:20:10.440 which I still think

00:20:11.220 is among the best

00:20:11.980 ideas of all time.

00:20:13.760 It's not just

00:20:14.300 one of the best

00:20:15.040 Trump ideas,

00:20:17.020 it's just one

00:20:17.840 of the best ideas

00:20:18.680 that you've ever

00:20:19.740 seen in a politics.

00:20:21.300 So I could not

00:20:22.240 be more positive

00:20:23.340 about that.

00:20:24.340 But moving,

00:20:25.140 the movie studios

00:20:26.040 make so much sense

00:20:27.040 for the Republicans,

00:20:28.780 because maybe

00:20:29.340 if you move it

00:20:29.980 to Nevada,

00:20:30.700 you're not going

00:20:31.140 to get a bunch

00:20:31.720 of woke people

00:20:32.600 making garbage,

00:20:34.180 and maybe they

00:20:34.760 make something

00:20:35.240 that people want

00:20:35.860 to see.

00:20:37.980 Meanwhile,

00:20:38.640 Oracle,

00:20:39.500 which,

00:20:39.940 believe it or not,

00:20:40.540 still has business

00:20:41.640 in California,

00:20:43.600 it got permits

00:20:44.360 to build three

00:20:45.000 small nuclear reactors

00:20:46.680 to power its

00:20:48.680 gigantic AI data center.

00:20:51.700 So it wants

00:20:52.860 to build the kind

00:20:53.780 that the Navy uses.

00:20:55.280 The Navy already

00:20:56.140 knows how to make

00:20:57.280 them in submarines.

00:20:58.920 The thinking is

00:21:00.020 it would be a lot

00:21:00.680 cheaper if you

00:21:02.160 were not constrained

00:21:03.120 to put them

00:21:03.720 in a submarine,

00:21:05.040 because if you

00:21:05.540 put it in a submarine,

00:21:06.380 you're going to make

00:21:06.700 it a little small

00:21:07.660 and probably

00:21:08.480 have to have

00:21:08.920 submarine-specific

00:21:11.420 capabilities.

00:21:13.120 I don't know

00:21:13.440 what that would be.

00:21:14.520 But if you don't

00:21:15.140 have those limitations

00:21:16.420 of putting it

00:21:17.240 on a submarine,

00:21:18.440 you might be able

00:21:19.700 to build these

00:21:20.340 fairly easily

00:21:21.260 if you can pick

00:21:22.020 California

00:21:22.720 to approve it.

00:21:24.120 You have the permits,

00:21:25.360 but I think

00:21:25.920 that's short

00:21:26.540 of all the approval

00:21:28.180 they would need

00:21:28.740 to complete this.

00:21:30.300 But imagine

00:21:30.980 if that works.

00:21:31.800 Because we think

00:21:35.060 of nuclear energy

00:21:36.340 in terms of

00:21:37.360 there's going to be

00:21:38.240 this big project

00:21:39.200 and they're going to

00:21:39.780 build it for your city

00:21:40.820 and I don't know

00:21:42.140 who owns it,

00:21:43.120 but basically

00:21:43.720 it's a utility

00:21:45.680 kind of situation.

00:21:47.420 Then you have

00:21:47.860 Larry Ellison

00:21:48.540 who needs way more

00:21:50.560 electricity

00:21:51.100 than California

00:21:51.980 can give him.

00:21:53.680 So he's like,

00:21:55.120 how about I just

00:21:56.160 build my own

00:21:56.840 nuclear power plant?

00:21:59.100 Who does that?

00:22:02.140 Billionaires.

00:22:03.320 You know,

00:22:03.600 here's the thing,

00:22:04.260 I've said this before,

00:22:06.120 but the billionaires

00:22:08.800 have a value

00:22:10.560 in the United States

00:22:11.600 that nobody else

00:22:12.980 would ever satisfy.

00:22:15.620 Meaning that

00:22:16.420 an Elon Musk

00:22:17.340 can simply use

00:22:18.120 his own money

00:22:18.780 to do something

00:22:19.460 that the government

00:22:20.220 can't get done

00:22:21.100 but the citizens

00:22:22.160 won't have done.

00:22:23.480 Larry Ellison

00:22:24.100 is using

00:22:24.820 his company's money

00:22:26.040 to build

00:22:27.260 nuclear power plants,

00:22:28.540 which if this works,

00:22:30.320 pretty much

00:22:30.960 would open up

00:22:31.680 that entire market

00:22:32.760 to every other

00:22:33.540 big company

00:22:34.140 that wanted

00:22:34.880 to build

00:22:35.180 their own power plant.

00:22:36.440 He just has

00:22:36.960 to make it work.

00:22:38.520 And it's

00:22:38.900 existing technology,

00:22:40.520 so there's not

00:22:41.420 much chance

00:22:41.960 that it won't work.

00:22:43.260 You know,

00:22:43.420 if he can make

00:22:43.960 it economical,

00:22:45.000 that's the big question.

00:22:47.320 But it'll work

00:22:48.120 because it's

00:22:48.700 existing technology.

00:22:50.740 So yes,

00:22:51.380 I'm very in favor

00:22:52.640 of the billionaires

00:22:53.700 moving civilization

00:22:56.480 forward

00:22:57.100 when they have

00:22:58.120 some special

00:22:58.940 niche

00:22:59.700 in this country.

00:23:01.680 Matt Walsh

00:23:04.560 has his new

00:23:05.100 movie out

00:23:05.680 that's not

00:23:06.160 getting mainstream

00:23:07.500 advertisements.

00:23:09.440 Am I racist?

00:23:11.300 Now,

00:23:11.660 I've only seen

00:23:12.220 clips from it

00:23:13.020 and it looks

00:23:13.500 hilarious

00:23:14.060 and it looks

00:23:14.900 like it's

00:23:16.540 a good addition

00:23:17.240 to the,

00:23:18.540 let's say,

00:23:19.320 the conversation.

00:23:20.580 I hate to use that

00:23:21.200 but it's a good addition

00:23:23.080 to the media.

00:23:24.920 Like it or not,

00:23:26.680 it's just

00:23:27.400 needed to be done

00:23:29.040 as is placed.

00:23:29.960 So Robin D'Angelo,

00:23:32.040 the author who

00:23:32.640 wrote,

00:23:33.380 I believe it was

00:23:33.980 White Fragility, 0.99

00:23:35.780 which was

00:23:36.940 sort of a landmark

00:23:38.920 work in terms

00:23:40.320 of creating

00:23:41.060 wokeness.

00:23:42.380 She issued a statement

00:23:43.740 denouncing the film

00:23:44.880 and

00:23:45.520 Matt Walsh

00:23:46.920 wanted us to know

00:23:47.880 she denounced it.

00:23:49.360 And she claims,

00:23:50.540 according to Matt,

00:23:51.740 that the movie is

00:23:52.600 quote,

00:23:53.400 designed to humiliate

00:23:54.920 and discredit

00:23:55.800 anti-racist

00:23:56.840 educators

00:23:57.440 and activists.

00:23:59.240 And as Walsh

00:23:59.920 says,

00:24:00.560 she couldn't be

00:24:01.160 more correct

00:24:01.740 in that assessment.

00:24:02.640 Thank you,

00:24:03.220 Robin.

00:24:04.480 Yeah,

00:24:05.440 that's the point

00:24:06.200 of it.

00:24:07.040 The point of it

00:24:07.800 is to humiliate

00:24:09.600 and discredit

00:24:10.440 the people

00:24:11.860 that he thinks

00:24:12.700 should be humiliated

00:24:14.100 and should be

00:24:14.840 discredited.

00:24:16.400 And I

00:24:17.500 agree.

00:24:19.420 Agree.

00:24:21.320 So,

00:24:21.880 got some publicity

00:24:22.740 there from Robin.

00:24:23.500 Well,

00:24:26.020 True the Vote,

00:24:27.040 the voting

00:24:28.360 integrity

00:24:29.000 organization

00:24:29.780 checker

00:24:30.480 has announced

00:24:32.380 that they

00:24:33.120 somehow

00:24:33.640 have figured

00:24:34.180 out how to

00:24:34.620 monitor over

00:24:35.400 25 million

00:24:36.980 just hold that

00:24:39.060 number in your head

00:24:39.800 25 million

00:24:42.100 ineligible names

00:24:44.340 on voter rolls

00:24:45.180 across the country.

00:24:48.160 Let me say

00:24:49.060 that again.

00:24:49.940 According to

00:24:50.540 True the Vote,

00:24:52.020 who apparently

00:24:52.560 has done a lot

00:24:53.220 of work,

00:24:54.440 they claim

00:24:55.400 that there are

00:24:56.020 25 million

00:24:57.840 people

00:24:58.440 across all the

00:25:00.040 states

00:25:00.440 that are not

00:25:01.980 eligible to vote.

00:25:03.240 You know,

00:25:03.460 they died

00:25:03.940 or they moved

00:25:04.660 or they're

00:25:05.540 illegal,

00:25:06.880 not residents

00:25:07.520 or something.

00:25:09.720 And they say

00:25:10.700 that they'll engage

00:25:11.560 law enforcement

00:25:12.240 and litigation

00:25:12.920 partners

00:25:13.580 if any

00:25:14.220 of them vote.

00:25:15.940 So basically,

00:25:16.880 putting out the threat

00:25:17.840 that if anyone's

00:25:19.580 tempted to vote

00:25:20.460 to these illegal 0.86

00:25:21.280 names,

00:25:22.120 I guess I would

00:25:22.960 include somebody

00:25:23.780 pretending to be

00:25:24.820 them and filling out

00:25:25.720 a ballot for an

00:25:26.460 illegal name.

00:25:27.940 But they're going

00:25:28.880 to go after them.

00:25:29.740 They're going to get

00:25:30.120 litigation partners

00:25:31.140 and go after them.

00:25:32.340 Now, I like putting

00:25:33.400 that thread out there.

00:25:35.400 I don't know if

00:25:36.660 they can really

00:25:37.280 detect what they

00:25:39.560 need to detect

00:25:40.300 and make something

00:25:41.220 of it.

00:25:42.100 But,

00:25:43.100 actually,

00:25:43.880 how would they

00:25:44.340 detect that?

00:25:44.980 how would the

00:25:46.840 outside organization

00:25:48.260 know who voted

00:25:50.220 by name and address?

00:25:52.480 Is that knowable?

00:25:54.060 Or would you have

00:25:54.740 to,

00:25:55.300 I don't know,

00:25:56.280 do some kind

00:25:56.900 of FOIA

00:25:57.900 or lawsuit

00:25:59.000 to get the information?

00:26:01.020 Is the information

00:26:01.700 even available?

00:26:02.880 I have lots

00:26:03.460 of questions.

00:26:04.760 I like the general

00:26:05.840 thrust of this,

00:26:07.540 that somebody

00:26:08.080 who's monitoring

00:26:08.840 through the vote

00:26:09.620 is monitoring

00:26:10.760 the ineligible

00:26:11.780 names

00:26:12.320 and that they're

00:26:13.340 going to get

00:26:13.680 tough about it.

00:26:14.280 I don't know

00:26:15.220 that they can

00:26:17.780 know for sure

00:26:19.040 if somebody

00:26:19.520 voted from one

00:26:20.240 of those lists.

00:26:21.060 I don't know

00:26:21.380 how you would

00:26:21.820 know that.

00:26:22.680 So that's the

00:26:23.200 problem.

00:26:24.340 If we could

00:26:25.160 easily know

00:26:26.000 that an

00:26:26.960 ineligible person

00:26:28.080 voted,

00:26:30.680 wouldn't that

00:26:32.940 allow us

00:26:33.760 to stop them?

00:26:36.080 I've got a

00:26:36.720 feeling maybe

00:26:37.420 it's not so easy

00:26:38.180 to know if they

00:26:38.900 voted.

00:26:39.840 But we'll see.

00:26:40.240 Meanwhile,

00:26:44.160 there's somebody

00:26:44.940 I'd never heard

00:26:45.540 of,

00:26:45.840 but I guess

00:26:46.180 he's a travel

00:26:46.840 writer and

00:26:47.360 television host

00:26:48.100 named Rick

00:26:49.420 Steves.

00:26:50.140 And somehow

00:26:50.540 he made news,

00:26:51.580 despite me not

00:26:52.740 knowing who he

00:26:53.280 is,

00:26:53.920 by endorsing

00:26:54.620 Harris.

00:26:56.340 And in a little

00:26:57.460 video he released,

00:26:59.040 he explained

00:26:59.560 why he endorses

00:27:01.060 her.

00:27:01.980 And he argued

00:27:02.640 that the world

00:27:03.180 doesn't need the

00:27:03.900 quote chaos

00:27:04.680 of Trump

00:27:05.940 in the White

00:27:06.700 House.

00:27:07.680 The chaos.

00:27:09.280 He's opposed

00:27:10.240 to the chaos

00:27:11.940 of Trump.

00:27:13.800 Where's the

00:27:14.440 chaos come from, 1.00

00:27:15.460 do you think?

00:27:16.560 Where's all

00:27:17.080 that chaos

00:27:17.940 come from?

00:27:19.340 100% of it

00:27:20.480 is coming

00:27:20.880 from the

00:27:21.320 Democrats.

00:27:22.600 So the

00:27:23.200 Democrats

00:27:23.700 create the

00:27:24.800 chaos,

00:27:25.580 and then they

00:27:26.440 say,

00:27:26.900 well,

00:27:27.020 you can't

00:27:27.360 vote for

00:27:27.720 this guy

00:27:28.180 because of

00:27:28.760 all the

00:27:29.040 chaos

00:27:29.460 that they

00:27:30.900 created.

00:27:32.240 What chaos

00:27:33.600 has Trump

00:27:34.340 created

00:27:34.820 all on his

00:27:36.060 own?

00:27:37.820 I can't

00:27:38.600 think of

00:27:38.880 anything.

00:27:39.140 because his

00:27:41.360 supporters

00:27:41.900 don't find

00:27:42.900 any of it

00:27:43.400 chaotic.

00:27:44.580 Some of

00:27:45.000 it's,

00:27:45.600 you know,

00:27:46.160 let's say,

00:27:47.600 less than

00:27:48.320 perfect.

00:27:49.680 But why

00:27:50.200 would you

00:27:50.500 call that

00:27:50.880 chaos?

00:27:52.240 Every

00:27:52.760 administration

00:27:53.420 does things

00:27:54.120 that some

00:27:54.880 of us

00:27:55.180 think are

00:27:55.520 less than

00:27:55.960 perfect.

00:27:59.320 So,

00:28:00.580 anyway,

00:28:03.140 that chaos

00:28:03.960 thing is

00:28:04.860 sort of a

00:28:05.560 red flag

00:28:06.660 for brainwashing,

00:28:07.720 in my

00:28:08.040 opinion.

00:28:08.820 I don't

00:28:09.500 believe you

00:28:10.080 could get

00:28:10.460 to a

00:28:10.820 reasonable

00:28:11.300 opinion that

00:28:12.100 chaos is

00:28:12.880 your big

00:28:13.220 problem.

00:28:14.440 Like,

00:28:14.700 you wouldn't

00:28:14.960 put it at

00:28:15.360 the top

00:28:15.800 of the

00:28:16.080 list.

00:28:16.600 Well,

00:28:17.460 you know,

00:28:17.840 when I

00:28:18.080 look at

00:28:18.560 climate change,

00:28:21.160 and I look

00:28:21.620 at the

00:28:22.100 national

00:28:22.680 deficit,

00:28:23.440 and I look

00:28:23.800 at immigration

00:28:24.440 and the

00:28:24.840 open borders,

00:28:25.620 when I look

00:28:26.000 at Ukraine

00:28:26.580 and the

00:28:27.220 trouble in

00:28:27.700 the Middle

00:28:27.960 East,

00:28:28.660 the thing

00:28:29.100 that I

00:28:29.420 think of

00:28:29.800 first is,

00:28:30.940 all that

00:28:31.440 chaos.

00:28:32.040 that's

00:28:34.440 not a

00:28:35.660 real

00:28:35.920 opinion.

00:28:37.580 Nobody

00:28:38.020 sits down

00:28:38.700 and says,

00:28:39.180 all right,

00:28:39.440 well,

00:28:39.680 let's look

00:28:40.120 at the

00:28:40.380 risks and

00:28:40.980 rewards of

00:28:42.340 each of

00:28:42.640 these

00:28:42.820 situations,

00:28:43.700 and yep,

00:28:44.300 yep,

00:28:44.860 when I've

00:28:45.240 looked at

00:28:45.520 all the

00:28:45.760 risks and

00:28:46.160 rewards,

00:28:46.640 I'm against

00:28:47.060 the chaos.

00:28:48.980 Chaos isn't

00:28:49.760 even a real

00:28:50.220 thing.

00:28:51.640 Not only is

00:28:52.240 it not a

00:28:52.660 real thing,

00:28:53.620 it's not

00:28:54.380 even coming

00:28:54.900 from Trump.

00:28:56.220 It's literally

00:28:57.100 coming from

00:28:57.740 his team.

00:28:59.240 So,

00:28:59.600 if he wants

00:29:00.020 less chaos,

00:29:00.880 why doesn't

00:29:01.200 he tell his

00:29:01.700 own team

00:29:02.100 to shut 0.69

00:29:02.600 the heck

00:29:04.740 up?

00:29:06.040 Somebody said

00:29:06.600 a 12-year-old

00:29:07.240 is watching

00:29:07.720 today,

00:29:08.180 so I

00:29:08.460 pulled back.

00:29:12.200 All right.

00:29:14.700 How would

00:29:15.240 you like

00:29:15.440 some optimism?

00:29:17.720 Is anybody

00:29:18.440 up for some

00:29:19.020 optimism?

00:29:20.520 I got a

00:29:21.200 little for

00:29:21.560 you.

00:29:22.600 It might

00:29:22.920 be really

00:29:23.200 good.

00:29:23.460 You might

00:29:23.680 like it.

00:29:24.960 You ready?

00:29:26.300 Get ready.

00:29:28.220 Optimism

00:29:28.660 in common.

00:29:31.200 There is

00:29:33.060 something

00:29:33.500 happening

00:29:34.120 that I

00:29:35.780 think you

00:29:36.240 can feel.

00:29:38.100 There has

00:29:38.780 been an

00:29:39.520 explosion of

00:29:40.600 creativity

00:29:41.240 around this

00:29:42.180 they're eating

00:29:42.900 the dogs

00:29:43.500 theme,

00:29:44.160 you know,

00:29:44.420 from the

00:29:45.240 something that

00:29:45.940 Trump said

00:29:46.380 at the

00:29:46.760 debate.

00:29:47.800 And you've

00:29:48.740 probably seen

00:29:49.220 it,

00:29:49.780 and you've

00:29:50.100 probably seen

00:29:50.640 multiple

00:29:51.400 videos of

00:29:53.500 people putting

00:29:54.120 it to music

00:29:54.720 and dancing

00:29:55.340 to it,

00:29:55.960 and it's

00:29:56.300 viral all

00:29:57.320 over the

00:29:57.680 place.

00:29:58.060 and I've

00:29:59.880 never seen

00:30:00.440 such a

00:30:01.040 surge of

00:30:01.780 creativity

00:30:02.440 that has

00:30:03.340 had such

00:30:03.840 a high

00:30:04.140 level.

00:30:05.380 And you

00:30:05.600 could add

00:30:05.940 to that

00:30:06.340 the stuff

00:30:07.120 coming out

00:30:07.660 of Nicole

00:30:08.100 Shanahan's

00:30:09.040 operation.

00:30:10.560 She's released

00:30:11.480 yet another

00:30:12.180 amazing video,

00:30:14.900 and I say

00:30:15.260 amazing because

00:30:16.140 you just look

00:30:17.380 at the

00:30:17.800 thinking and

00:30:18.760 the quality

00:30:19.340 and the

00:30:20.420 note they're

00:30:21.300 trying to

00:30:21.740 hit and

00:30:22.480 just the

00:30:23.400 production,

00:30:24.360 and it's

00:30:25.020 amazing.

00:30:25.740 It's called,

00:30:26.180 her video

00:30:27.040 is Who

00:30:27.880 Really

00:30:28.200 Are the

00:30:28.540 MAGA

00:30:28.860 People?

00:30:30.200 And it's

00:30:30.760 this fictional

00:30:31.580 story of

00:30:32.140 someone with

00:30:32.440 a British

00:30:33.640 sounding accent,

00:30:34.600 I think

00:30:34.860 British,

00:30:35.800 who does

00:30:36.280 like a,

00:30:37.460 it's like a

00:30:38.120 fake documentary,

00:30:39.720 you know,

00:30:40.060 it's for fun,

00:30:41.000 but they show

00:30:41.660 ordinary MAGA

00:30:43.220 people just

00:30:43.900 hanging out

00:30:44.420 with their

00:30:44.740 kids and

00:30:45.380 going to

00:30:46.160 work in

00:30:46.460 their trucks

00:30:46.880 and stuff,

00:30:47.640 and they all

00:30:48.340 just look

00:30:48.700 like good

00:30:49.080 people.

00:30:50.760 And the

00:30:51.260 point of it

00:30:52.220 is that,

00:30:53.480 you know,

00:30:53.660 this person

00:30:54.140 who came to

00:30:54.900 examine these

00:30:55.920 dangerous MAGA

00:30:56.700 people found

00:30:57.420 out, oh

00:30:57.900 wait, they're

00:30:59.060 all really

00:30:59.400 nice to

00:30:59.800 hang out

00:31:00.120 with, why

00:31:00.800 are they

00:31:01.020 all kind

00:31:01.400 to me?

00:31:02.400 Why do

00:31:02.880 they have

00:31:03.200 this code

00:31:04.320 of ethics

00:31:04.860 and everything

00:31:05.420 seems like

00:31:06.280 if you just

00:31:06.940 left them

00:31:07.340 alone, we'd

00:31:07.880 all be

00:31:08.160 fine.

00:31:09.220 So it

00:31:09.940 was brilliant,

00:31:10.680 you have to

00:31:11.040 see it, my

00:31:11.600 description of

00:31:12.260 it doesn't

00:31:12.640 really sell

00:31:13.620 it, but

00:31:14.800 so that's

00:31:15.360 brilliant, and

00:31:16.200 it's, you

00:31:16.700 know, one of

00:31:17.260 several she's

00:31:17.820 done that are

00:31:18.260 all brilliant,

00:31:19.340 whoever she's

00:31:20.340 got working on

00:31:21.120 these.

00:32:21.620 And then a whole

00:32:24.080 avalanche of these

00:32:25.760 Trump saying, save

00:32:28.020 the dogs, you know,

00:32:29.260 they're eating the

00:32:30.360 dogs, they're eating 0.93

00:32:31.020 the cats.

00:32:32.020 And the level of

00:32:34.900 creativity that got

00:32:36.280 unleashed and the

00:32:38.120 specific way it was

00:32:39.420 employed makes me feel

00:32:41.580 this.

00:32:43.360 Think of Trump as an

00:32:45.880 energy monster, somebody

00:32:47.660 who generates a

00:32:48.880 tremendous amount of

00:32:49.660 energy.

00:32:51.040 But think about this.

00:32:52.800 He's been storing that

00:32:54.300 energy like a battery,

00:32:56.000 not in himself.

00:32:58.160 He's been storing it in

00:32:59.380 his base and his

00:33:00.780 supporters.

00:33:01.840 He's created this

00:33:03.100 immense amount of

00:33:04.240 energy.

00:33:05.500 Some of it he uses

00:33:06.460 himself and some of

00:33:08.260 it he uses his tens of

00:33:10.480 millions of supporters

00:33:11.420 like a storage system.

00:33:13.760 It's like a battery.

00:33:15.740 Now, if you watch the

00:33:16.880 debate as I did, I

00:33:18.800 originally scored it as

00:33:20.280 Harris's victory

00:33:21.360 because it looked like

00:33:23.260 a tie, which in the

00:33:25.080 case, this case would

00:33:26.460 look like a victory for

00:33:27.440 her.

00:33:28.100 So I said publicly, she

00:33:30.440 won the debate.

00:33:33.260 And it felt to the

00:33:35.060 world, a lot of us

00:33:36.180 like, even if you

00:33:37.520 thought he won the

00:33:38.200 debate, it wasn't by

00:33:39.140 much and it wasn't as

00:33:40.220 good as you liked.

00:33:41.380 And it just felt like,

00:33:43.040 I hate to say it, he

00:33:46.200 didn't have the goods.

00:33:47.000 Like he was just a

00:33:48.880 little short that

00:33:49.660 night.

00:33:50.160 Now, I don't think it's

00:33:51.240 necessarily his fault,

00:33:53.100 although there were a

00:33:53.700 few things I think he

00:33:54.600 could have done better.

00:33:56.100 I think it had to do with

00:33:57.200 the setup and, you know,

00:33:58.740 Harris is actually good

00:33:59.740 when she's doing

00:34:00.300 memorized pieces.

00:34:01.800 And that's pretty much

00:34:02.420 the whole story.

00:34:03.520 You know, the ABC

00:34:04.660 host plus the fact that

00:34:06.180 she could just do

00:34:06.880 memorized pieces.

00:34:07.720 But many people who

00:34:12.680 support Trump felt like

00:34:14.380 he didn't get across

00:34:16.020 the line, that there

00:34:17.860 was something he needed

00:34:18.580 to accomplish, and it

00:34:20.380 was very important, and

00:34:22.620 he didn't get there.

00:34:24.160 So what'd they do?

00:34:25.960 Did they change their

00:34:27.620 mind?

00:34:28.900 Say, I'm not going to

00:34:29.880 vote?

00:34:31.240 No, they didn't.

00:34:32.600 Did they say, I'm going

00:34:33.780 to vote for Harris?

00:34:35.360 She had a good debate?

00:34:38.180 No, they didn't.

00:34:39.720 But they had all this

00:34:40.740 energy that he's been

00:34:42.320 storing in them for so

00:34:43.740 long, and all of a

00:34:45.600 sudden, it all came out.

00:34:47.780 And here's what it looks

00:34:48.920 like to me.

00:34:50.540 I don't know if you can

00:34:51.640 feel it yet, but I can

00:34:53.740 feel it.

00:34:55.300 His base has decided

00:34:56.920 that they don't want

00:34:59.100 Trump to win.

00:35:03.220 They've decided they

00:35:04.240 don't want him to win.

00:35:06.800 They've decided they're

00:35:07.860 going to make him win.

00:35:09.780 It's a decision now.

00:35:12.540 Everything changes when

00:35:14.060 it's a decision.

00:35:15.440 We are out of the

00:35:16.560 preference stage.

00:35:18.580 Now tens of millions of

00:35:20.040 people just said, if you

00:35:21.640 can't do it, we're going

00:35:22.600 to drag you. 0.77

00:35:24.120 We're going to drag him

00:35:25.460 across the finish line.

00:35:28.120 And you can feel that

00:35:29.420 now.

00:35:30.320 This is about Trump, of

00:35:32.280 course, but the energy

00:35:34.940 that he's been storing

00:35:36.160 for years in his base

00:35:37.820 just got unleashed in

00:35:39.560 the weirdest way with

00:35:40.880 this, you know, all the

00:35:42.100 memes about the cats

00:35:43.840 and the dogs, but

00:35:45.140 they're all just

00:35:46.540 wonderful.

00:35:48.660 And I'm going to

00:35:49.880 publicly, I did this on

00:35:51.540 X yesterday, but I'm

00:35:53.140 going to change my

00:35:54.020 scoring of the debate

00:35:55.520 because the debate, when

00:35:58.080 you score it as it

00:35:59.500 happens, and immediately

00:36:00.760 after, you're using

00:36:01.780 short-term memory.

00:36:04.200 Short-term memory is

00:36:05.660 what did this person

00:36:06.900 say?

00:36:07.420 How did you answer this

00:36:08.320 question?

00:36:09.160 Did you avoid this

00:36:10.080 question?

00:36:11.120 Did you say a lie?

00:36:13.200 You know, was it, did we

00:36:14.580 fact-check you?

00:36:15.380 That's all short-term

00:36:16.500 memory.

00:36:18.400 Short-term memory doesn't

00:36:19.680 move anything.

00:36:21.180 It is valid to score a

00:36:23.680 debate based on your

00:36:25.620 short-term memory.

00:36:26.840 So if you were doing,

00:36:27.460 let's say, a college

00:36:28.760 debate, you wouldn't

00:36:30.540 wait two weeks, you

00:36:32.220 would score it right

00:36:33.260 then, using your

00:36:34.720 short-term memory.

00:36:36.160 But if there's

00:36:37.360 something I learned

00:36:38.180 from my friend and

00:36:39.920 memory expert, Carmen

00:36:41.820 Simon, Dr. Carmen

00:36:42.980 Simon, in her books, is

00:36:45.100 that your long-term

00:36:46.080 memory is the one you

00:36:47.000 want to influence.

00:36:48.800 The long-term memory is

00:36:50.820 a signal that you

00:36:53.100 actually changed,

00:36:54.640 something changed.

00:36:55.640 If you see something

00:36:56.680 that makes you feel a

00:36:57.540 certain way in the

00:36:58.140 short-term and you

00:36:58.920 don't even remember it

00:36:59.940 two weeks later,

00:37:01.200 nothing happened.

00:37:02.500 It was like it didn't

00:37:03.540 happen.

00:37:04.720 So I ask you now, the

00:37:06.960 debate's been over for a

00:37:07.980 little while, not very

00:37:09.020 long, what do you

00:37:10.920 remember about it?

00:37:12.980 You remember that Trump,

00:37:15.480 who doesn't even own a

00:37:16.880 dog or a cat, tried to

00:37:20.120 defend yours, your dog and

00:37:22.420 your cat, who you love

00:37:23.640 more than people in some

00:37:25.380 cases.

00:37:27.440 Now, the memes that

00:37:30.260 pair him with the cute 0.67

00:37:31.480 little animals could not

00:37:33.440 be better persuasion

00:37:35.560 because it takes the

00:37:38.560 biggest complaint about

00:37:40.040 him that he's a selfish,

00:37:42.680 mean, cares about only

00:37:44.140 himself, dictator

00:37:46.040 bastard.

00:37:47.560 Well, if you see enough

00:37:48.960 pictures of him saving

00:37:50.320 your pets, not his own,

00:37:52.600 he doesn't have any.

00:37:55.500 And by the way, the

00:37:56.320 memes aren't real.

00:37:57.220 It's just pictures of

00:37:58.040 him, you know, with two

00:37:59.120 lovable pets under each

00:38:00.580 arm, you know, running

00:38:01.800 from Haitian gangs and

00:38:03.300 stuff.

00:38:04.320 You cannot be unaffected

00:38:06.220 by that.

00:38:07.340 And it's not a surprise

00:38:09.040 that it's becoming a huge

00:38:11.020 meme.

00:38:11.840 The memes probably are

00:38:14.140 breaking through on TikTok

00:38:15.540 and some other places to get

00:38:17.600 to Democrats.

00:38:18.520 association is one of the

00:38:21.720 major rules of

00:38:24.240 persuasion.

00:38:26.680 If you associate with, I'm

00:38:28.080 seeing now pictures going

00:38:29.260 by of the memes of him with

00:38:30.940 dogs and cats.

00:38:31.980 They're all adorable.

00:38:33.160 I love every one of them.

00:38:35.200 But association is one of

00:38:36.860 the main levers of

00:38:38.980 persuasion.

00:38:40.160 And without Trump doing it

00:38:41.640 intentionally, his base,

00:38:44.440 with all the energy that he put

00:38:46.220 there over the years, decided

00:38:47.900 they were going to use that

00:38:48.880 energy to pair him with cats

00:38:50.420 and dogs.

00:38:51.900 Lovable, beautiful, wonderful

00:38:54.040 cats and dogs.

00:38:55.560 And I can't even imagine a

00:38:58.540 better persuasive wave than

00:39:02.560 that association.

00:39:04.080 Now, here's the opposite

00:39:05.100 type.

00:39:06.320 Today, the news is going

00:39:07.620 after Laura Loomer for having

00:39:10.800 been on Trump's jet when he

00:39:12.480 went to the debate.

00:39:13.740 Now, what they're trying to do

00:39:15.160 is they're saying, we're going

00:39:16.620 to associate you with Laura

00:39:18.500 Loomer so that whatever bad

00:39:20.420 feelings we can make about

00:39:21.600 her, we can extend that to 0.99

00:39:23.620 you.

00:39:23.980 Oh, why were you hanging out

00:39:25.320 with this person who said

00:39:26.260 these things?

00:39:27.420 Now, we don't, none of us have

00:39:28.800 to agree with anything that

00:39:30.320 Laura Loomer has said.

00:39:32.040 But I love the fact that Trump

00:39:34.920 is a pirate ship.

00:39:36.780 And if you can help him and

00:39:38.680 you're all on board, he doesn't

00:39:41.260 have to agree with everything

00:39:42.260 you've ever done in your life.

00:39:43.480 But can you help the country?

00:39:45.720 And that's where Laura Loomer

00:39:46.660 is at.

00:39:47.400 She's definitely working as

00:39:48.740 hard as she can to help the

00:39:50.180 campaign win.

00:39:52.300 We don't agree with everything

00:39:53.820 she's ever said.

00:39:55.060 I don't believe that Trump

00:39:56.720 agrees with everything that J.D.

00:39:59.020 Vance has ever said.

00:40:00.340 I don't believe he agrees with

00:40:02.200 everything that Vivek has ever

00:40:03.740 said, although they're pretty

00:40:05.180 close.

00:40:06.840 I don't believe he agrees with

00:40:09.280 everything that Kennedy said.

00:40:11.040 Not everything.

00:40:13.860 But can you work with him?

00:40:16.380 Yes.

00:40:17.100 This is the America I want.

00:40:19.380 If you're telling me that you

00:40:20.380 don't like that he that Trump

00:40:22.880 is OK with Laura Loomer being

00:40:25.480 on his pirate ship.

00:40:27.280 My response to you is, do you

00:40:29.560 not understand what a pirate ship

00:40:30.980 is?

00:40:31.780 Do you think the pirates are

00:40:33.120 judging each other?

00:40:34.100 No, no, they have a mission.

00:40:39.660 The pirates are trying to get

00:40:41.100 something done.

00:40:42.760 And that's the mission.

00:40:44.940 So if you're going to worry about

00:40:46.620 the associations, you go worry

00:40:48.620 about that.

00:40:49.460 The pirates are going to load the

00:40:51.000 cannons and get something done. 1.00

00:40:53.580 So I've always loved that about

00:40:56.000 Trump, that that he can say, if

00:40:58.800 you're on my team, then bring the

00:41:01.220 things that are good and we'll work

00:41:03.220 with that, if there's stuff I don't

00:41:04.840 like, well, that's sort of your

00:41:07.640 issue.

00:41:08.920 It's not for me to solve it.

00:41:11.160 Why can't you live in a country

00:41:12.500 where everybody's different and

00:41:13.940 sometimes you like it and sometimes

00:41:15.260 you don't?

00:41:16.160 That's the America I want to live

00:41:17.440 in.

00:41:18.280 I don't care that my neighbor

00:41:19.880 just, I mean, take my

00:41:22.600 neighborhood.

00:41:23.660 Do you think they all agree with me

00:41:24.840 on politics?

00:41:26.180 No.

00:41:27.360 Do I love my neighbors?

00:41:28.500 They're awesome.

00:41:29.120 I got the greatest neighbors.

00:41:30.400 I'm so lucky.

00:41:31.620 That's true.

00:41:32.220 I just have amazing neighbors.

00:41:34.620 But none of us are worried about

00:41:36.200 who agrees with anybody about

00:41:37.500 politics.

00:41:38.080 We don't talk about it.

00:41:39.060 It's just not a thing.

00:41:40.220 It's just not important.

00:41:42.900 So that's what I love about the

00:41:44.200 pirate ship.

00:41:44.940 But the more important thing is

00:41:46.600 that this huge wave of creative

00:41:49.160 energy has been unleashed.

00:41:51.560 And in my opinion, the base has

00:41:54.380 decided that they're going to make

00:41:55.860 him win.

00:41:57.080 If he falters, we're going to pick

00:41:58.760 him up.

00:41:59.560 If he trips, we're going to make

00:42:01.920 up the distance.

00:42:03.020 If he needs to be dragged, we're

00:42:05.340 going to drag him.

00:42:07.300 And I think that's a decision now.

00:42:09.440 And it feels different than just

00:42:12.100 wanting it.

00:42:12.740 Well, have you seen the debunk

00:42:19.460 website?

00:42:25.640 So I've decided that just to finish

00:42:28.680 up on that.

00:42:29.680 So my current view is that Trump

00:42:32.160 completely won the debate.

00:42:33.960 Because somehow, in his Trump way,

00:42:36.640 he found that one issue that you can't

00:42:39.160 get out of your head, and it has some

00:42:41.580 value to him.

00:42:43.500 And two weeks later, I don't

00:42:45.040 remember a thing that Harris said.

00:42:47.020 Nothing.

00:42:48.180 I don't remember a thing.

00:42:49.440 I just remember the dog thing.

00:42:51.700 Now, if you said, but Scott, remember

00:42:53.660 this thing?

00:42:54.400 Yes.

00:42:55.300 Yes.

00:42:55.700 If you reminded me of the thing, I

00:42:57.700 would say, oh, okay, I do remember

00:42:59.020 that.

00:42:59.880 And you could do that 50 times.

00:43:02.320 And say, but you remember she said

00:43:03.540 this?

00:43:03.940 I'd say, oh, okay.

00:43:05.160 Yeah, she did.

00:43:05.700 But that's back of mind.

00:43:08.800 Back of mind isn't the good stuff.

00:43:12.540 Front of mind.

00:43:14.340 Long term.

00:43:16.180 Front of mind and long term.

00:43:19.200 That's the gold standard of persuasion.

00:43:22.560 And he's hit the gold standard.

00:43:24.880 And it's just a huge victory.

00:43:27.960 I could not have been more wrong when

00:43:31.940 I scored it as a tie that goes to

00:43:34.200 Harris because I was using short-term

00:43:36.580 memory.

00:43:37.940 And none of that matters.

00:43:40.100 None of it matters.

00:43:42.620 Anyway.

00:43:47.100 We've got lots more fun here.

00:43:50.620 Have you seen the video where somebody

00:43:55.780 used AI to alter Kamala Harris's face

00:43:59.700 at one of her rallies?

00:44:01.540 So it's the audio, the actual audio

00:44:03.840 of her saying the actual things she

00:44:05.500 really said at the rally.

00:44:06.980 And the only thing they did was change

00:44:08.460 her face to look like she'd been using

00:44:10.740 meth for 30 years in a row.

00:44:13.120 You know how meth people look with the

00:44:14.840 mouth and the teeth and the distorted

00:44:17.400 faces?

00:44:18.460 And you see it.

00:44:19.520 And it's the funniest thing in the

00:44:20.720 world.

00:44:21.080 And the thing that's funny about it is

00:44:22.980 that the meth face perfectly

00:44:25.700 matches the messages.

00:44:29.480 So you're not really laughing because

00:44:31.200 the face is funny, although it's

00:44:32.620 hilarious.

00:44:33.560 You're laughing because the funny face

00:44:35.720 and looking like a drunken meth addict

00:44:38.380 perfectly matches the audio of her

00:44:41.440 talking to her base.

00:44:43.080 Now, you have to see that one.

00:44:45.080 It's in my X feed.

00:44:46.980 You've got to see this one.

00:44:48.340 It will just make you cry with laughter.

00:44:50.620 It's so perfect.

00:44:51.720 And again, that's another example of the

00:44:54.400 creative burst that's coming out.

00:44:59.260 Anyway, remember I told you about the

00:45:01.200 Trump hoax overload strategy that the

00:45:04.160 Democrats are using?

00:45:05.800 And somebody asked just in the pre-show,

00:45:09.240 somebody said, do you think that Kamala

00:45:13.460 knows that the fine people hoax is a

00:45:16.440 hoax?

00:45:16.760 Of course he does.

00:45:18.820 Yeah, I guarantee it.

00:45:20.520 Yeah, there's no chance they don't know

00:45:23.400 that they're doing massive hoaxes one

00:45:27.100 after another.

00:45:28.040 No, it's a strategy.

00:45:29.440 It's a very clear strategy to overload the

00:45:32.480 right so that they're just talking about

00:45:34.620 the hoaxes.

00:45:36.160 Because remember association?

00:45:38.260 If I say, no, I didn't eat a hobo, well,

00:45:46.340 you're automatically going to pair me with

00:45:48.240 the idea of eating a hobo, even if the

00:45:50.180 point was I didn't eat the hobo, because

00:45:52.720 that's another persuasion rule, right?

00:45:54.820 Your negatives don't register, just the

00:45:56.800 image does.

00:45:58.680 So anyway, so the Trump hoax overload

00:46:02.360 strategy that Kamala Harris's campaign is 1.00

00:46:05.440 using is really, really good.

00:46:08.900 So if you're just looking at, does it

00:46:11.000 work and is it brilliant?

00:46:13.860 It works and it's brilliant.

00:46:17.080 Well, you know, I'm not even going to

00:46:18.800 shade that.

00:46:19.680 It works and it's brilliant.

00:46:21.780 So this is the first time I can remember

00:46:24.100 and, you know, I'm not an expert in

00:46:26.240 politics.

00:46:27.020 I've never seen two campaigns that were

00:46:29.820 this good.

00:46:31.820 And when I say good, I don't mean honest.

00:46:33.620 I mean, they know their job, they know

00:46:36.680 persuasion, they know what buttons to

00:46:38.340 push.

00:46:39.320 The Harris campaign is freaking good, you

00:46:42.240 know, with what they have to work with.

00:46:43.800 If you look with what they have to work

00:46:45.800 with and the fact that they're a tie,

00:46:48.880 they're just so good.

00:46:52.060 But as I've said before, I think Trump's

00:46:55.020 campaign advisors are extraordinary.

00:46:58.360 And I think that his campaign has been

00:47:00.100 extraordinary as well.

00:47:01.100 So I wouldn't put one of them ahead of

00:47:03.060 the other.

00:47:04.140 They're both A+.

00:47:05.120 I've never seen this before.

00:47:07.680 You know, you've got, we only have one

00:47:09.080 candidate who's worth a damn, but the

00:47:11.920 campaigns, really good.

00:47:15.060 That's my persuasion rating.

00:47:18.460 Anyway, so I suggested that the antidote

00:47:20.820 to the hoax overload strategy would be a

00:47:24.480 website of debunks.

00:47:26.180 So there's somebody like Trump and any of

00:47:29.800 his supporters, if challenged with any of

00:47:31.720 these hoaxes, could say, not that the

00:47:34.620 hoax is fake, because that doesn't buy you

00:47:36.680 anything.

00:47:37.900 You say, let me teach you how these hoaxes

00:47:40.920 are created.

00:47:43.080 Go to the site

00:47:44.200 americandebunk.com.

00:47:47.360 So it's Ameri-ken with the N on America, 0.98

00:47:51.240 Ameri-ken debunk. 0.96

00:47:53.280 That's all you have to remember.

00:47:55.140 And I'm going to ask you all this.

00:47:57.800 Memorize that.

00:47:59.580 Say it a few times in your head.

00:48:02.320 Ameri-ken debunk. 0.96

00:48:04.100 Ameri-ken debunk.com.

00:48:05.580 I want you to be able to produce that in a

00:48:07.880 conversation and say, you know, you're going

00:48:11.100 to be amazed when you find out how they did

00:48:12.860 that hoax.

00:48:13.420 And then the Democrat you're talking to will

00:48:15.640 say, that's no hoax.

00:48:17.420 And you say, do me a favor.

00:48:20.460 Go to americandebunk.com and you'll see what

00:48:24.160 Republicans are seeing.

00:48:25.960 You don't have to believe it.

00:48:27.820 I won't try to change your mind.

00:48:29.720 But I want you to see what the Republicans

00:48:31.420 see that you don't get to see.

00:48:33.320 It's very short.

00:48:34.420 They're very, very small segments of what

00:48:37.200 the hoax is.

00:48:38.460 I call it a hoax.

00:48:39.560 You think it's real.

00:48:40.340 But it also show you how the hoax was

00:48:42.760 created.

00:48:44.180 It's the how it was created that's the

00:48:46.580 magic sauce.

00:48:47.500 I'll say this as many times as I need to.

00:48:49.780 It is not anything to debunk a hoax.

00:48:53.140 Buys you nothing.

00:48:55.020 Nothing.

00:48:56.200 You have to show how it was done.

00:48:59.000 That's the thinking past the sale.

00:49:01.420 If you can do that, you can change minds.

00:49:04.580 Now, somebody said to me, nobody's going

00:49:06.140 to change their vote because the find

00:49:08.400 people hoax and finding out about it.

00:49:10.300 Yes, they will.

00:49:10.820 We have multiple public examples where

00:49:15.040 people on X, notable people, you know,

00:49:18.360 people whose names you've heard in public

00:49:20.240 say, you know, when I saw that that find

00:49:23.420 people hoax was a hoax, it just opened up.

00:49:26.000 It was like the key to open the door to all

00:49:28.720 the fake news.

00:49:29.600 And then then I'd switch sides.

00:49:31.860 So, yes, that will change votes.

00:49:36.820 So AmericanDebunk.com.

00:49:39.640 I don't know who's behind it, by the way,

00:49:41.220 but I did see some of my influence in the

00:49:43.400 writing.

00:49:43.680 So it's somebody, could be somebody watching

00:49:46.960 right now.

00:49:47.540 I don't know.

00:49:49.020 But if you want to take credit for it, I would

00:49:51.560 love to give it to you.

00:49:56.500 Mark Cuban asked a question.

00:50:00.060 Oh, you know what?

00:50:02.220 I want to show you.

00:50:04.820 There's a new interview with Kamala Harris.

00:50:07.100 And I first saw it when investor Bill Ackman

00:50:11.280 was pointing to it on X.

00:50:13.460 And his comment made me so curious.

00:50:16.760 He just pointed to the video of the interview.

00:50:20.180 It's with some local news station.

00:50:24.080 And I'm paraphrasing, but he basically said,

00:50:27.480 just watch this and make up your own mind

00:50:31.260 who you're voting for.

00:50:33.280 And I thought, why would you not want to

00:50:35.660 put your opinion on it?

00:50:38.880 And then I watched it.

00:50:42.000 Oh, my God.

00:50:45.420 I'm going to play it for you if my technology

00:50:47.680 works here.

00:50:49.700 So my plan is that if I push this button,

00:50:54.040 you're going to see me in the corner,

00:50:55.460 and then you're going to see her.

00:50:56.740 And then if I push this, I can play it.

00:51:17.540 And I've got to turn on my sound.

00:51:21.980 Madam Vice President, pleasure to meet you.

00:51:24.160 Thank you for your time today.

00:51:24.880 Our audience appreciates your time.

00:51:26.300 As you know, we're sitting here in a state

00:51:29.800 and arguably in front of an audience

00:51:31.420 that 54 days from now could decide

00:51:33.900 the outcome of this presidential election.

00:51:35.860 I'm not going to play the whole interview.

00:51:36.820 You hear it more than I do.

00:51:38.400 People want to know more about you

00:51:40.280 and about your specific plans.

00:51:42.500 At the debate the other night,

00:51:43.640 you talked about creating an opportunity economy.

00:51:46.560 Watch what a softball question it is.

00:51:48.660 Talk about bringing down prices

00:51:50.460 and making life more affordable for people.

00:51:53.520 What are one or two specific things

00:51:55.300 you have in mind?

00:51:56.020 Watch the specifics.

00:51:57.420 Well, I'll start with this.

00:51:59.460 I grew up a middle class kid.

00:52:01.740 My mother raised my sister and me.

00:52:03.840 She worked very hard.

00:52:05.820 She was able to finally save up enough money

00:52:08.580 to buy our first house when I was a teenager.

00:52:12.600 I grew up in a community of hardworking people,

00:52:15.480 you know, construction workers

00:52:16.800 and nurses and teachers.

00:52:18.420 And I try to explain to some people

00:52:21.200 who may not have had the same experience,

00:52:23.100 you know, but a lot of people will relate to this.

00:52:27.100 You know, I grew up in a neighborhood of folks

00:52:28.680 who were very proud of their lawn, you know?

00:52:31.860 And I was raised to believe and to know

00:52:38.160 that all people deserve dignity

00:52:40.920 and that we as Americans have a beautiful character.

00:52:48.460 You know, we have ambitions and aspirations and dreams,

00:52:52.240 but not everyone necessarily has access to the resources

00:52:57.480 that can help them fuel those dreams and ambitions.

00:53:00.760 So when I talk about building an opportunity economy,

00:53:04.240 it is very much with the mind of investing

00:53:08.360 in the ambitions and aspirations

00:53:10.420 and the incredible work ethic of the American people

00:53:13.700 and creating opportunity for people,

00:53:16.080 for example, to start a small business.

00:53:19.160 My mother, you know, worked long hours

00:53:21.360 and our neighbor helped raise us.

00:53:23.760 We used to call her, I still call her our second mother.

00:53:26.360 She was a small business owner.

00:53:28.980 I love our small business owners.

00:53:30.340 I learned who they are from my childhood

00:53:32.720 and she was a community leader.

00:53:36.380 She hired locally, she mentored.

00:53:38.860 Our small businesses are so much a part

00:53:41.100 of the fabric of our communities,

00:53:42.740 not to mention really, I think,

00:53:44.380 the backbone of America's economy.

00:53:46.540 So my opportunity economy plan includes

00:53:49.460 giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction

00:53:54.440 to start their small business.

00:53:57.080 It used to be $5,000.

00:53:58.380 Nobody can start a small business with $5,000.

00:54:01.300 But investing in people's innovative ideas

00:54:05.100 and giving them the ability to go for it.

00:54:09.340 Opportunity economy,

00:54:10.260 what assault weapons do to the human body.

00:54:13.280 I'm honest with you.

00:54:13.920 I think Congress, former Congress member Liz Channing.

00:54:19.760 All right.

00:54:22.400 You can watch it if you can stand it.

00:54:25.700 But she is really, really bad at talking.

00:54:34.920 She is really, really, really, really bad at talking.

00:54:39.980 I've never seen anything like this, honestly.

00:54:42.540 When I watched it the first time,

00:54:44.180 I was trying to figure out, is she drunk? 0.81

00:54:47.780 Does she have a mental problem? 1.00

00:54:49.900 Because it might be that.

00:54:53.140 I mean, it looks like she's working through

00:54:54.980 some kind of mental distress.

00:54:58.240 Now, she didn't look drunk,

00:55:01.020 but could there be some other pill that you take

00:55:03.960 that makes your face exaggerate like that?

00:55:06.180 Like, why does her face get so exaggerated? 0.96

00:55:11.320 I feel like somebody who knew drugs more than I do,

00:55:15.500 you know, the good stuff,

00:55:17.280 might be able to identify that.

00:55:19.800 Is that like a cocaine face?

00:55:23.020 Is there a specific drug

00:55:25.220 that would make you gesticulate and, you know, move

00:55:29.560 and your face would be more animated?

00:55:32.120 Because I don't spend time around cocaine people,

00:55:36.940 so I'm just guessing.

00:55:39.560 Would that be a possibility?

00:55:42.080 Because whatever's happening here,

00:55:44.660 I don't spend any time listening to what she's saying,

00:55:48.220 and I spend the whole time thinking,

00:55:50.040 what's wrong with her? 1.00

00:55:51.780 You know what I mean?

00:55:54.300 Do you have the same feeling?

00:55:56.020 Like, all of my curiosity is,

00:55:57.940 what's wrong with her? 1.00

00:55:58.980 Like, why is she acting that way? 1.00

00:56:03.780 Never seen anything like it.

00:56:05.880 Remember when I told you that

00:56:07.420 I'll give you some optimism today?

00:56:12.380 They either have to hide her until election day,

00:56:15.920 which will be a pretty big tell

00:56:17.940 that she can't do the job,

00:56:19.520 or they're going to let her do this again, 1.00

00:56:21.620 and her side is going to see

00:56:23.060 what they're looking at.

00:56:25.420 I don't know how she could possibly win.

00:56:31.060 It's hard for me to imagine

00:56:32.780 that she could possibly win

00:56:35.120 if they see her in public

00:56:36.480 answering any questions at all.

00:56:40.700 And I saw, let's see,

00:56:42.300 Mike Cernovich suggested

00:56:43.900 that instead of a debate,

00:56:47.940 Harris should have a Spaces event,

00:56:53.520 and it could be handled with hosts

00:56:56.540 like David Sachs,

00:56:58.820 and he suggested Mark Cuban.

00:57:01.200 So imagine David Sachs, pro-Trump,

00:57:05.360 and Mark Cuban, pro-Harris,

00:57:07.580 being the moderators,

00:57:08.720 and then Mike Cernovich suggested

00:57:11.400 that they pick some third person randomly,

00:57:14.380 which I'd love that to be me.

00:57:19.160 No, I wouldn't want to do it.

00:57:20.920 But that's a good idea.

00:57:24.440 But speaking of Mark Cuban,

00:57:29.640 Mark Cuban has been,

00:57:31.640 I don't want to say trolling,

00:57:33.340 but he's been asking provocative questions

00:57:37.000 of Trump supporters

00:57:39.220 so that he can argue with them in public

00:57:42.500 or embarrass them in public.

00:57:44.160 I don't know exactly what he's thinking.

00:57:46.580 So I'll warn you

00:57:48.960 not to make the mistake

00:57:51.040 that I almost made right there.

00:57:52.860 If you're trying to guess

00:57:54.420 what Mark Cuban is thinking

00:57:57.160 or what his motivation is,

00:57:59.980 I don't know that that's anything you can do.

00:58:03.840 Because he's a complicated, smart guy.

00:58:07.340 Who knows what his exact motivation is,

00:58:10.160 other than getting Harris elected, of course.

00:58:12.320 But in any given exchange,

00:58:14.220 if you're trying to guess,

00:58:15.900 is he being serious

00:58:16.720 or is he trolling us?

00:58:19.040 Does he really need to know the answer to this?

00:58:23.060 It kind of doesn't matter.

00:58:25.240 Because we'll never know

00:58:26.460 what his inner thoughts are,

00:58:28.640 but we're dealing with the world

00:58:30.400 in which it exists.

00:58:32.320 So he asked this question,

00:58:34.300 which I thought was

00:58:35.180 actually a really good question.

00:58:38.040 He said on X,

00:58:38.920 for all supporters of the Republican nominee,

00:58:41.400 what specifically will Trump do

00:58:43.560 to lower grocery and other prices?

00:58:46.500 And he says, I'm curious.

00:58:48.220 Now he states that he's curious.

00:58:51.120 That sounds actually true to me.

00:58:53.600 I think he actually is curious.

00:58:55.060 So I took a shot at answering that question.

00:58:58.980 And let me tell you what I said.

00:59:00.740 So here's the answer to

00:59:02.200 how would Trump lower prices?

00:59:05.260 Number one, fewer government regulations,

00:59:07.720 which should increase supply,

00:59:11.000 which should increase or decrease prices

00:59:13.780 in the long run.

00:59:14.760 I said, but there's a but to this.

00:59:20.260 If Trump works with Kennedy,

00:59:23.100 RFK Jr.,

00:59:24.180 and he uncovers these bad food practices,

00:59:28.000 you might find that food prices

00:59:30.440 would go up in the short run

00:59:32.040 if something gets banned.

00:59:34.200 So for example,

00:59:35.200 if there's a fertilizer,

00:59:36.140 this is just an example.

00:59:37.320 I don't know if any of this is true.

00:59:38.920 But if there's some fertilizer,

00:59:40.960 I'll just pick,

00:59:41.440 I'm making up a fictional example.

00:59:44.980 And we decide it's bad

00:59:46.460 for the health of the people

00:59:47.540 who eat the food

00:59:48.180 that was fertilized with it.

00:59:49.580 If it gets banned,

00:59:51.280 they might be able to make less food

00:59:54.140 or they might pay more

00:59:55.100 for the fertilizer.

00:59:56.220 So you can see the costs going up

00:59:58.340 in the short run.

00:59:59.800 So to be fair,

01:00:01.200 there's at least one thing

01:00:02.580 that Trump plans to do

01:00:03.800 that has a direct,

01:00:05.480 probably upward pressure on prices.

01:00:08.400 However,

01:00:08.840 if you were to get

01:00:10.940 the unhealthy stuff

01:00:12.120 out of the food supply,

01:00:14.040 suddenly your healthcare costs go down

01:00:15.920 and maybe by a lot.

01:00:18.620 So it would look more

01:00:19.780 like an investment

01:00:20.740 if it did make food

01:00:22.240 more expensive in the short run,

01:00:23.680 which would be a problem,

01:00:25.040 definitely be a problem.

01:00:26.600 But it could have the far,

01:00:29.080 far bigger economic benefit

01:00:30.820 of reducing

01:00:31.980 all of our chronic illnesses.

01:00:34.460 That would be the goal of it.

01:00:36.420 Next, if Elon Musk

01:00:39.180 helps Trump reduce

01:00:40.500 the government's spending,

01:00:42.240 that should reduce inflation

01:00:43.740 and that should make

01:00:44.880 your costs not rise.

01:00:49.360 I like to give Trump credit

01:00:51.760 for what you might call

01:00:52.900 his salesmanship

01:00:53.860 or his BS

01:00:55.740 because it drives investment.

01:00:57.960 I've described this before.

01:00:59.640 But if investors are confident,

01:01:02.200 then they invest

01:01:03.060 and that creates good things.

01:01:05.020 If they're not confident,

01:01:06.420 they don't.

01:01:07.560 Trump has that salesperson,

01:01:09.740 you know,

01:01:10.260 go, go, go capitalism

01:01:11.600 feeling

01:01:12.800 that makes people think,

01:01:14.120 huh,

01:01:15.040 it doesn't look like

01:01:15.900 he's going to give me

01:01:16.720 more regulations.

01:01:17.780 It doesn't make,

01:01:18.400 it doesn't look like

01:01:19.100 he's going to make anything worse.

01:01:21.500 I'm going to go invest some money.

01:01:23.420 This is looking good.

01:01:24.280 So his salesmanship

01:01:26.660 story on the economy

01:01:28.980 is way better than Harris's,

01:01:30.740 which is,

01:01:31.160 you know,

01:01:31.900 Marxist,

01:01:33.440 at least

01:01:34.820 has the scent

01:01:36.680 of Marxism on it,

01:01:37.840 which is way less inspiring.

01:01:41.820 I said that

01:01:42.900 Trump's tax plans

01:01:44.660 compared to Harris

01:01:45.460 should give companies

01:01:46.540 some room,

01:01:48.020 more room

01:01:49.080 to lower prices.

01:01:50.000 If taxes go up

01:01:52.220 on corporations,

01:01:53.240 they have less margin,

01:01:55.220 you know,

01:01:55.440 less room

01:01:56.060 to lower the prices.

01:01:58.540 Trump would at least

01:01:59.420 not raise their prices.

01:02:00.840 He might not lower them,

01:02:01.820 or might not,

01:02:03.100 Trump might not

01:02:03.960 lower anybody's taxes,

01:02:06.140 but Harris would

01:02:07.800 raise them for sure.

01:02:09.100 So that would make

01:02:09.840 food more expensive

01:02:10.940 and everything.

01:02:14.000 Trump is more likely

01:02:15.420 to approve,

01:02:16.460 I'm going to say,

01:02:17.180 larger energy projects.

01:02:18.820 I do think

01:02:20.280 the Biden administration

01:02:22.420 has done better

01:02:24.100 than the Republicans

01:02:25.160 blame them for

01:02:27.580 in energy.

01:02:29.520 They haven't been terrible.

01:02:31.040 They've been good

01:02:31.600 on nuclear,

01:02:32.660 could be better,

01:02:33.860 and they've been

01:02:34.880 reasonably good

01:02:35.760 on drilling,

01:02:36.920 could be a lot better.

01:02:38.640 You know,

01:02:38.900 I mean,

01:02:39.200 we haven't drilled

01:02:40.420 in Anwar,

01:02:41.420 there's a pipeline question,

01:02:43.080 you know,

01:02:43.280 I'm sure there's

01:02:44.080 a permit issue.

01:02:45.680 So it does seem

01:02:46.480 to me that Trump

01:02:47.120 could probably

01:02:48.140 end up approving

01:02:51.380 larger energy projects

01:02:53.140 which lower everybody's

01:02:54.240 cost for everything

01:02:55.060 because it's energy.

01:02:57.480 I said that Trump

01:02:58.500 would waste less money

01:02:59.800 on climate and wars,

01:03:01.100 and that goes

01:03:01.580 to lowering inflation too.

01:03:03.580 I said that Trump

01:03:04.360 is more suited

01:03:05.060 to protect

01:03:05.760 our global supply chains.

01:03:08.680 So, you know,

01:03:09.040 a lot of things

01:03:09.560 are more expensive

01:03:10.300 because the ships

01:03:11.560 don't want to go

01:03:12.240 anywhere near the Houthis

01:03:13.420 in Yemen

01:03:14.520 because they're using

01:03:15.840 their missiles

01:03:16.340 on the ships.

01:03:17.520 So if somebody

01:03:18.600 could say,

01:03:19.600 hey, Houthis,

01:03:20.920 I got a deal for you.

01:03:22.260 If you shoot

01:03:22.860 one more missile,

01:03:23.740 we're going to get rid

01:03:24.460 of every single

01:03:25.260 fucking one of you. 0.97

01:03:26.720 Sorry,

01:03:27.180 I couldn't go

01:03:27.900 the whole day

01:03:28.360 without swearing.

01:03:29.900 And whether or not

01:03:31.920 that's true,

01:03:33.360 even the Houthis 0.80

01:03:34.260 are going to say,

01:03:35.080 oh,

01:03:35.720 well,

01:03:35.960 that looks serious

01:03:36.740 because he might

01:03:39.340 actually do it.

01:03:40.460 You just don't know.

01:03:41.660 So he's far scarier

01:03:43.440 and that's got to be good

01:03:45.260 if you're trying

01:03:46.160 to scare people

01:03:46.820 like the Houthis 0.99

01:03:47.460 from shooting your ships.

01:03:50.520 So I think he's more suited

01:03:51.760 to protect

01:03:52.280 the global supply chains.

01:03:54.060 But in summary,

01:03:54.820 he's just better

01:03:55.240 for the economy

01:03:55.780 in general

01:03:56.340 and that should

01:03:56.980 help your prices.

01:03:57.860 So that was my answer.

01:04:00.480 People are still saying,

01:04:01.960 hey,

01:04:02.300 how about a debate

01:04:03.100 of some kind?

01:04:03.740 There's not going

01:04:04.160 to be any new debate.

01:04:06.100 And here's the simple

01:04:07.140 reason why.

01:04:08.500 Trump would be crazy

01:04:09.840 to agree

01:04:10.460 to another debate

01:04:11.540 on a network

01:04:12.880 that is not

01:04:13.980 in his favor.

01:04:15.560 So the only one

01:04:16.320 that I think

01:04:16.820 he would ever agree to

01:04:17.740 would be,

01:04:18.360 you know,

01:04:19.260 Fox News

01:04:19.900 or Newsmax

01:04:21.040 or Tucker Carlson

01:04:22.780 or something like that.

01:04:24.300 And there's no way

01:04:25.400 that Harris

01:04:25.820 is going to agree

01:04:26.400 to that.

01:04:27.880 So you can stop

01:04:29.000 even thinking

01:04:29.620 about another debate.

01:04:31.760 I mean,

01:04:32.180 Trump said

01:04:32.980 he's not going

01:04:33.440 to have one.

01:04:35.120 But really,

01:04:36.860 that means

01:04:37.260 he would have one

01:04:38.220 if it were

01:04:38.720 the right hosts.

01:04:40.260 I think if it were

01:04:41.240 the right hosts

01:04:41.900 on Fox,

01:04:42.540 he'd do it.

01:04:43.840 Well,

01:04:44.000 let me put it this way.

01:04:45.560 If Fox News

01:04:47.520 said

01:04:47.900 our hosts

01:04:49.520 will be

01:04:50.420 Dana Perino

01:04:51.740 and Greg

01:04:53.180 Gottfeld,

01:04:54.360 would Trump

01:04:55.540 do a debate?

01:04:57.440 Probably.

01:04:58.820 Probably yes.

01:04:59.940 Would Harris

01:05:00.480 do it?

01:05:00.860 Not a chance.

01:05:01.800 So there is no way

01:05:02.740 that those two

01:05:03.380 Venn diagrams

01:05:04.120 are ever going

01:05:04.580 to intersect.

01:05:05.160 So debate

01:05:06.980 is done.

01:05:07.920 There will not

01:05:08.620 be a debate.

01:05:09.300 I guarantee it.

01:05:11.280 You got all

01:05:12.080 you're going to get.

01:05:17.440 Now that,

01:05:18.260 ladies and gentlemen,

01:05:19.620 brings me

01:05:20.200 to the close

01:05:20.920 of my prepared remarks.

01:05:23.300 I think it was

01:05:24.180 one of the best shows

01:05:25.060 you've ever seen.

01:05:26.700 Probably getting better

01:05:27.680 every minute.

01:05:29.100 And I'm going to say

01:05:30.620 a few words

01:05:31.340 to the local

01:05:33.760 subscribers

01:05:34.540 because they're special.

01:05:36.980 And thanks to all

01:05:37.860 the people on

01:05:38.940 X and YouTube

01:05:40.800 and Rumble.

01:05:42.100 It's always a pleasure

01:05:42.820 to see you.

01:05:43.500 I'll see you again

01:05:44.320 tomorrow morning,

01:05:45.800 same place.

01:05:46.780 And in 30 seconds

01:05:47.980 or so,

01:05:48.400 I'll see you again

01:05:49.340 every minute.

01:05:50.240 So.

01:05:51.000 I'll see you again

01:05:51.880 next semester.

01:05:51.940 And in 30 seconds

01:05:53.300 if you open up

01:05:54.180 early on the

01:05:56.080 day of practice,

01:05:57.300 and you'll be

01:05:58.340 going to give it

01:05:58.860 for a good one.

01:05:59.080 Thank you.
