Transcript

00:00:00.000 Maybe. You never know.
00:00:07.680 Good morning, everyone.
00:00:12.740 And welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:16.540 That's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:17.980 You've never had a better time.
00:00:19.620 And if you'd like to take your enjoyment up to levels
00:00:23.720 that no one could possibly comprehend
00:00:26.100 with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:00:28.260 all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:00:31.080 a tank or gels or stein, a canteen jug or a flask,
00:00:34.080 a vessel of any kind.
00:00:35.700 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:37.060 I like coffee.
00:00:38.300 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:40.280 of the dope meat hit of the day,
00:00:41.780 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:44.020 It's called the Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:47.000 And it happens now.
00:00:48.480 Go.
00:00:53.580 Ah.
00:00:53.980 Man, I can feel that all the way down to my mitochondria.
00:01:01.220 And I don't even know what a mitochondria is.
00:01:05.480 Well, let's start with some science news
00:01:07.400 before we get into the politics.
00:01:09.620 There's a study, according to Science Alert,
00:01:11.800 that says that owning a cat could double your schizophrenia risk.
00:01:15.860 Huh.
00:01:16.380 Now, they do say it's not necessarily causal.
00:01:21.740 It could be just a correlation.
00:01:24.060 But let's dig a little bit deeper.
00:01:26.860 Let's see.
00:01:27.480 What would schizophrenia mean?
00:01:29.280 Well, that would mean emotional blunting,
00:01:31.920 delusions, and hallucinations.
00:01:34.040 Huh.
00:01:34.900 I wonder if I can tie this topic to politics in any way.
00:01:38.940 Emotional blunting, delusions,
00:01:42.300 hallucinations,
00:01:43.320 hoaxes,
00:01:46.860 hoaxes,
00:01:48.440 fake news,
00:01:50.080 MSNBC.
00:01:51.780 So, there's not really a huge difference
00:01:54.800 between having schizophrenia
00:01:57.200 and watching MSNBC and thinking it's real.
00:02:02.540 I mean, there is a difference.
00:02:04.720 There's not like a giant difference.
00:02:07.560 So, let's see.
00:02:08.780 The other thing that would be a tip
00:02:10.640 that there might be some connection with politics
00:02:13.380 is if there was something about cat owners
00:02:16.400 that we knew.
00:02:19.380 What do we know about cat owners?
00:02:21.180 Well, let's see.
00:02:21.820 I checked a statistic.
00:02:23.580 And 58% of cat owners are women.
00:02:28.380 Hmm.
00:02:29.820 So, owning a cat can make you hallucinate
00:02:33.480 and be delusional and emotionally blunted.
00:02:35.860 And most cat owners are women
00:02:39.940 and most Harris supporters are women
00:02:43.960 who own cats
00:02:46.000 who would make them hallucinate
00:02:49.360 that Trump is going to steal their democracy.
00:02:52.720 There.
00:02:53.240 Pulled it all together.
00:02:54.800 I bet you didn't think I could bring that one home, did you?
00:02:57.440 Yeah.
00:02:58.240 Pulled it all together.
00:02:59.600 No, I don't believe necessarily
00:03:01.320 that cats are giving anybody any schizophrenia,
00:03:03.720 but it's not a giant coincidence
00:03:06.860 that the people who support Harris
00:03:08.620 have a lot of cats.
00:03:10.860 Maybe that's just a coincidence.
00:03:12.820 You never know.
00:03:15.400 If you would like to know more
00:03:17.940 about most of my science-y related topics,
00:03:23.840 you should follow Owen Gregorian on X.
00:03:28.280 It's spelled just the way it looks.
00:03:30.180 Owen Gregorian.
00:03:31.600 So, I get a lot of my,
00:03:34.100 especially the science-y tips from Owen.
00:03:38.320 So, follow Owen for more.
00:03:42.200 Did you know that fewer than 50%
00:03:45.740 of the students in Washington State
00:03:48.520 are at grade level in science and math,
00:03:50.780 according to the post-millennial?
00:03:53.240 Fewer than 50%.
00:03:55.200 Huh.
00:03:56.640 Now, wouldn't it be great
00:03:59.860 if the writer of that story
00:04:01.680 was really good at math?
00:04:03.700 Because it's a story about other people
00:04:05.700 who are bad at math.
00:04:07.940 You know it would be awkward
00:04:08.980 if the person who wrote the story
00:04:11.160 about other people being bad at math
00:04:13.180 didn't really connect all the dots with the math.
00:04:18.940 Because within the story
00:04:20.320 about the public schools
00:04:22.500 being way bad at science and math,
00:04:26.580 it may be worse than they've ever been.
00:04:28.600 In the same article,
00:04:30.440 it says that the Washington State
00:04:32.220 has the highest private school attendance.
00:04:35.220 So, in Washington State,
00:04:36.780 nearly 25% of the K-12ers
00:04:39.380 are in a private school.
00:04:40.520 Do you think that's related?
00:04:43.060 If you saw this story,
00:04:47.720 just the headline,
00:04:48.860 you'd say to yourself,
00:04:49.960 whoa, those schools used to be bad,
00:04:52.660 but they're getting worse at a faster level.
00:04:55.760 Now, it might be that they're getting worse.
00:04:58.880 But what would happen
00:04:59.760 if you took any public school
00:05:01.480 and then you took 25% of the best students
00:05:05.860 and moved them to private schools?
00:05:07.720 What would happen
00:05:08.780 to the average of the people who are left?
00:05:11.220 It doesn't mean they're doing worse.
00:05:14.880 It just means who's left.
00:05:17.460 Am I wrong?
00:05:20.060 Who are the kids who go to private school?
00:05:22.840 Because it costs more.
00:05:24.320 It's not the dumb ones.
00:05:25.880 The dumb ones are not being pulled out of public school
00:05:28.420 and put in expensive private schools.
00:05:31.520 It's usually the richer, smarter kids.
00:05:35.740 So, if you took the richer, smarter kids
00:05:37.940 out of the public school,
00:05:39.060 that alone would drop the number of people
00:05:43.340 who are good at their school by a lot.
00:05:47.600 So, I would suggest
00:05:49.000 that this is a little more complicated.
00:05:51.020 It could be that what's happening
00:05:52.560 is that the public schools are so bad
00:05:55.660 that they have the highest number of people
00:05:58.240 trying to get out of them.
00:05:59.700 So, that could be what's happening.
00:06:01.000 The other possibility
00:06:02.780 is that Washington State is lucky
00:06:05.360 and that it has the most school choice
00:06:07.660 because school choice
00:06:09.860 could get to the same place
00:06:11.420 except that it would be a positive story
00:06:14.020 about education.
00:06:16.360 In other words,
00:06:18.000 the high percentage of private school students
00:06:21.280 could be telling us
00:06:22.680 that Washington State
00:06:23.720 is producing the best trained students
00:06:26.620 in the country.
00:06:27.220 But if you were to look at the headline,
00:06:31.560 you'd say,
00:06:32.160 whoa,
00:06:32.640 they might be producing
00:06:34.000 some of the worst students in the country.
00:06:36.960 And that's because
00:06:37.640 if you're just looking at the public school,
00:06:40.000 you're missing out
00:06:41.280 that they have the highest percentage
00:06:43.140 of private school
00:06:43.980 and that's got to be a big part of the math.
00:06:46.400 Meanwhile,
00:06:48.720 the UAE,
00:06:50.560 they're going big on indoor farms
00:06:53.740 because they're a desert
00:06:55.440 so they need indoor farms.
00:06:57.180 Otherwise,
00:06:57.560 they have to ship stuff in from far away
00:06:59.500 which is expensive.
00:07:01.060 So, there's a company called Pure Harvest Farms
00:07:03.080 looking for more funding to expand.
00:07:05.560 But here's the part that I found interesting.
00:07:08.840 I'm going to make you all interested
00:07:10.400 in indoor farming.
00:07:12.800 That's my goal.
00:07:14.220 My goal is simply to make you interested.
00:07:17.280 In indoor farming.
00:07:19.280 Because if you get interested,
00:07:21.700 then other people get interested
00:07:22.920 and it spreads
00:07:23.800 and then it's easier to get them funded.
00:07:26.740 It just becomes sexier.
00:07:28.700 So, I'm going to make indoor farming
00:07:30.520 the sexiest thing in the country.
00:07:33.040 So, here are a few things we know
00:07:34.360 so that you're all smart.
00:07:36.700 Did you know
00:07:37.620 that the indoor farm
00:07:39.060 could lower your water usage
00:07:40.480 by up to 95% in some cases?
00:07:43.540 So, maybe 80% would be more reasonable.
00:07:46.400 But imagine if you could reduce
00:07:48.660 by 80%
00:07:50.280 what you need for farming.
00:07:54.320 Farming is what sucks up most of your water.
00:07:56.860 We have this big old water problem
00:07:58.540 in California.
00:08:00.400 It's largely the farming.
00:08:01.940 But indoor farming can solve that.
00:08:05.000 What about fertilizer?
00:08:06.400 We're running on a fertilizer
00:08:07.660 and plus you don't want a lot of fertilizer
00:08:09.540 on your food.
00:08:11.200 Well, indoor farms use less.
00:08:14.640 Or, I think it could use none.
00:08:17.440 If you have a controlled environment,
00:08:19.380 I think you can get down to none,
00:08:21.180 but I'm not sure.
00:08:22.360 You might need some.
00:08:23.860 What about labor?
00:08:26.140 Well, in the short run,
00:08:28.680 labor probably would be similar,
00:08:31.740 you know, whether it's indoors or out.
00:08:33.520 Because it would take a human
00:08:34.540 to walk around and pick stuff.
00:08:35.960 But, what happens if the robots
00:08:39.120 are doing all the work?
00:08:42.240 Seems to me that an indoor robot
00:08:44.820 would be much cheaper
00:08:45.980 than an outdoor robot.
00:08:47.980 For one thing,
00:08:49.320 you could optimize the robot
00:08:50.980 for the exact configuration
00:08:53.040 that would be very predictable.
00:08:54.300 But also, it won't be
00:08:56.240 sitting outside getting ruined.
00:09:00.580 Because I can't figure out
00:09:02.180 what would be worse for anything
00:09:04.000 than sitting out in the elements.
00:09:06.700 So, you could save money on labor
00:09:08.800 when you got your robots.
00:09:10.220 You could save money on...
00:09:14.220 Oh, the negative.
00:09:15.920 So, these are the negatives.
00:09:18.060 You need to construct it.
00:09:20.620 I think that one of the big
00:09:23.780 future advances
00:09:25.980 will be modular indoor farms.
00:09:30.580 Because right now, you know,
00:09:32.040 it would take some money
00:09:32.980 to build an indoor farm.
00:09:34.580 But how much money would it take
00:09:35.820 to build, like, segments?
00:09:38.960 So, you could just buy
00:09:40.100 as many segments as you need
00:09:41.780 to make it as long as you want.
00:09:44.080 And it's just delivered on a truck.
00:09:46.840 And there's not much
00:09:48.080 putting it together.
00:09:49.700 I feel like you could take
00:09:51.760 the cost of construction
00:09:53.420 of the indoor farm
00:09:55.020 down by 80%.
00:09:57.520 You know, with mass production
00:09:59.780 and more modular kind of stuff.
00:10:02.200 Maybe 80%.
00:10:03.140 What about...
00:10:05.300 Let's see.
00:10:06.880 How about the...
00:10:08.060 Oh, what about the shipping?
00:10:11.700 If you can put the food
00:10:13.480 closer to the people,
00:10:15.020 you can get rid of a whole bunch
00:10:16.760 of refrigeration time.
00:10:17.580 And you don't have to gas
00:10:19.880 the vegetables so they look good.
00:10:22.700 Because you just grow them
00:10:23.880 until they're ready
00:10:24.540 and then people eat them
00:10:25.740 within hours.
00:10:27.460 So, you've got this big
00:10:29.280 transportation advantage.
00:10:31.040 Of course, you need power.
00:10:33.160 But you can use solar, I suppose.
00:10:34.900 I think indoor farms
00:10:38.060 are the future.
00:10:39.900 Especially for newly built
00:10:41.920 designed cities.
00:10:43.460 Have you heard
00:10:46.300 of anybody saying,
00:10:47.720 boy, you know,
00:10:48.240 what you should try
00:10:48.940 is ayahuasca.
00:10:50.780 It's some kind
00:10:51.940 of very dangerous
00:10:53.040 hallucinogen.
00:10:55.540 Now, I say very dangerous
00:10:57.000 because that's the nature
00:10:58.020 of the story
00:10:58.520 I'm going to tell you.
00:10:59.440 I don't know how dangerous
00:11:00.480 it is.
00:11:00.980 I'm no doctor.
00:11:02.180 Some people say
00:11:02.960 it's not so dangerous.
00:11:04.580 But there's some
00:11:05.520 new evidence
00:11:06.720 that maybe it is.
00:11:09.240 But one of the stories
00:11:10.840 we're hearing,
00:11:11.360 this is anecdotal
00:11:12.660 at this point,
00:11:13.560 is that a number
00:11:14.880 of CEOs
00:11:17.260 of startups,
00:11:18.600 they go and they have
00:11:20.120 their hallucination
00:11:21.320 experience
00:11:23.700 with ayahuasca.
00:11:24.880 It's supposed to
00:11:25.600 change your brain
00:11:26.880 forever to be,
00:11:28.100 I don't know,
00:11:28.920 happier or more productive
00:11:30.400 or something.
00:11:31.520 But that they,
00:11:33.100 once they come back
00:11:33.880 from their ayahuasca experience,
00:11:35.620 they quit their jobs.
00:11:37.940 So, it turns out
00:11:39.180 that it makes you
00:11:39.860 not care about
00:11:41.360 chasing after
00:11:42.740 the billionth dollar,
00:11:44.360 I guess.
00:11:45.440 So, there's some concern
00:11:47.580 that as the CEO
00:11:49.380 has become happier
00:11:50.320 and more well-balanced
00:11:51.560 through some kind
00:11:52.800 of a hallucinogenic experience,
00:11:54.680 that they're not
00:11:55.580 as hungry.
00:11:57.660 And so,
00:11:58.340 they're not chasing
00:11:58.880 success
00:12:00.200 and that that might hurt
00:12:01.440 the Silicon Valley.
00:12:04.560 I don't know.
00:12:05.180 I don't know if that's
00:12:05.920 a big problem
00:12:06.860 to worry about.
00:12:07.580 but Ashley Vance
00:12:09.400 was talking about that.
00:12:10.380 I thought I'd
00:12:10.920 pass it along.
00:12:13.660 But,
00:12:14.200 in related news,
00:12:15.400 according to New Atlas,
00:12:16.680 psilocybin,
00:12:17.640 you know,
00:12:17.880 that would be the
00:12:18.440 mushroom-related
00:12:20.280 hallucinogens,
00:12:22.600 they tested it
00:12:23.920 compared to the
00:12:24.700 normal meds
00:12:25.360 for depression,
00:12:26.240 the SSRIs.
00:12:27.640 And what do you think
00:12:28.520 worked better?
00:12:30.140 Well,
00:12:30.480 I wouldn't be telling you
00:12:31.500 if it were the SSRIs.
00:12:33.700 So,
00:12:34.900 not only did they get
00:12:36.000 similarly great results,
00:12:39.300 but that the mushroom people
00:12:41.700 had longer-lasting
00:12:43.360 positive benefits
00:12:44.440 in their life.
00:12:45.300 So,
00:12:45.780 basically,
00:12:46.320 it wasn't close.
00:12:48.160 If you believe
00:12:49.180 this one study
00:12:50.000 that wasn't super-powered
00:12:51.600 and wasn't,
00:12:53.200 it wasn't a gold-standard study,
00:12:55.660 so,
00:12:56.300 use your judgment.
00:12:58.020 But,
00:12:58.400 when studies agree with me,
00:12:59.740 I like to tell you about them
00:13:00.900 because that's the best
00:13:01.980 you can do.
00:13:02.480 just find stuff
00:13:03.780 that agrees with you
00:13:04.620 and pretend it's credible.
00:13:06.420 That's what I do.
00:13:07.520 That's what you should do, too.
00:13:10.280 According to Slay News,
00:13:13.300 Trump has more favorable ratings
00:13:16.260 than,
00:13:16.840 among voters,
00:13:18.280 than Taylor Swift.
00:13:21.080 Now, remember,
00:13:22.000 that's among voters.
00:13:23.700 So,
00:13:24.300 it might not be
00:13:25.300 that there are more people
00:13:27.300 who like Trump.
00:13:29.060 It's just that
00:13:30.000 a lot of young people
00:13:30.920 who can't vote
00:13:31.620 might be the Taylor Swift fans.
00:13:34.280 So,
00:13:34.880 it's kind of close,
00:13:36.460 but there is a difference.
00:13:38.720 And,
00:13:38.940 Trump is a little bit
00:13:40.580 more favorable
00:13:41.540 than Taylor Swift.
00:13:43.080 So,
00:13:43.560 a number of you said,
00:13:44.840 is Trump being stupid
00:13:46.480 and crazy
00:13:47.120 and,
00:13:48.100 you know,
00:13:49.380 being chaotic
00:13:50.240 or something
00:13:50.780 because he said,
00:13:52.420 I hate Taylor Swift?
00:13:53.520 and people said,
00:13:56.340 no,
00:13:56.640 don't,
00:13:57.020 don't offend
00:13:57.560 Taylor Swift's
00:13:58.680 fans.
00:14:00.260 That's bad
00:14:00.720 for politics.
00:14:02.060 And I said,
00:14:03.520 eh,
00:14:04.240 I'm not so sure
00:14:05.060 that's bad
00:14:05.540 for politics
00:14:06.300 because I wasn't sure
00:14:08.380 at the time
00:14:08.960 if there were more people
00:14:10.100 who disliked her
00:14:11.020 than liked her.
00:14:12.660 But,
00:14:13.860 he may have played
00:14:14.820 that right.
00:14:15.940 So,
00:14:16.160 his comments,
00:14:16.980 his anti-Taylor Swift comments
00:14:19.920 may have actually
00:14:22.020 gamed him votes.
00:14:24.020 You know,
00:14:24.320 I doubt it
00:14:24.980 because I think
00:14:25.680 people have mostly decided.
00:14:27.220 But,
00:14:27.440 it didn't hurt him.
00:14:28.520 I don't think
00:14:29.000 it hurt him at all.
00:14:32.240 Well,
00:14:32.780 I keep following
00:14:33.520 the story about Chicago
00:14:34.760 where the old gang members,
00:14:36.860 the existing gangs
00:14:37.840 are mad at the new gangs.
00:14:39.740 So,
00:14:39.980 the new gangs
00:14:40.580 of the Venezuelans,
00:14:42.340 pretty tough.
00:14:44.040 And,
00:14:44.400 so,
00:14:45.320 not only did Chicago
00:14:46.460 ship in a whole bunch
00:14:48.180 of violent new gangs,
00:14:49.920 but they decided,
00:14:51.960 their local government
00:14:53.280 decided to turn off
00:14:54.420 ShotSpotter.
00:14:56.120 Now,
00:14:56.520 ShotSpotter
00:14:57.240 is a technology
00:14:58.200 that they put in cities
00:14:59.400 where they've got
00:15:00.780 listening devices
00:15:02.020 and they can hear
00:15:03.440 where there's
00:15:04.100 gunfire.
00:15:06.340 And,
00:15:06.580 if it's presumably
00:15:07.960 unauthorized gunfire
00:15:09.480 because it's in the city,
00:15:11.240 then the police
00:15:12.260 can immediately dispatch
00:15:13.400 and they know where to go
00:15:14.440 because they know
00:15:15.780 where the gunfire
00:15:16.340 came from.
00:15:17.760 So,
00:15:18.100 that used to be
00:15:18.940 in effect
00:15:20.400 and they just
00:15:21.380 turned it off.
00:15:23.220 So,
00:15:23.840 they shipped in
00:15:24.520 new gangs
00:15:25.240 and then they
00:15:26.640 turned off
00:15:27.460 the ShotSpotter.
00:15:29.880 Does anybody
00:15:30.820 see any problems
00:15:31.820 coming?
00:15:33.640 The gangs
00:15:34.460 are just going to
00:15:35.080 shoot it out.
00:15:36.840 I think they found
00:15:37.960 a way to
00:15:38.600 get rid of
00:15:39.620 the original gangs
00:15:40.620 by bringing in,
00:15:41.900 you know,
00:15:42.500 better armed,
00:15:43.400 more violent gangs.
00:15:44.660 I don't know
00:15:46.640 that there are
00:15:47.180 two ways
00:15:47.840 to take over
00:15:48.620 territory.
00:15:50.680 The only way
00:15:51.620 I know of,
00:15:52.420 if you want to be
00:15:53.140 the drug dealer
00:15:54.120 of choice
00:15:54.720 in a certain
00:15:55.360 block of the city,
00:15:56.720 I think you have
00:15:57.800 to kill the people
00:15:58.600 who are already there.
00:16:00.120 I'm not recommending it,
00:16:01.680 just to be clear.
00:16:03.020 I don't recommend it.
00:16:04.540 Don't kill anybody.
00:16:05.640 Don't be violent.
00:16:07.160 I'm just saying
00:16:08.160 I'm not aware
00:16:09.460 of a second method.
00:16:10.720 So if
00:16:12.520 the new criminals
00:16:14.080 are coming in
00:16:14.900 and the ShotSpotter
00:16:15.980 is turned off
00:16:16.780 and probably
00:16:17.960 the police
00:16:18.580 have been defunded,
00:16:19.580 I don't know
00:16:19.940 if that's true,
00:16:20.560 but it feels like
00:16:21.500 it fits the story.
00:16:24.020 I feel like
00:16:24.820 they just gave up
00:16:25.660 on Chicago.
00:16:27.900 They just gave up.
00:16:31.260 Anyway,
00:16:32.380 good luck,
00:16:33.160 Chicago.
00:16:33.840 If you live there,
00:16:34.900 I would recommend
00:16:35.700 you should get out.
00:16:38.580 Get out.
00:16:40.020 Get away.
00:16:40.720 I saw
00:16:44.280 Joshua Lysak
00:16:45.460 who I worked with
00:16:47.740 on my books.
00:16:49.240 I'm still working
00:16:49.960 with on my books.
00:16:51.800 And he's an editor,
00:16:53.820 ghostwriter,
00:16:55.080 very successful.
00:16:56.860 And he noted
00:16:57.680 on X
00:16:58.740 that YouTube
00:16:59.380 has been artificially
00:17:00.520 limiting my live streams.
00:17:02.960 And he showed
00:17:03.600 the page
00:17:05.180 of all my live streams
00:17:06.580 and they had
00:17:07.600 31,000
00:17:08.460 and they just stopped.
00:17:09.220 no matter
00:17:10.480 what my topic is
00:17:11.620 or no matter
00:17:12.620 what's happening
00:17:13.220 in the world.
00:17:14.240 31,000
00:17:15.160 and we're done here.
00:17:17.300 We're done here.
00:17:19.000 Now,
00:17:19.240 do you think
00:17:19.700 that my numbers
00:17:21.420 could be 31,000
00:17:22.860 pretty much
00:17:23.900 every day?
00:17:25.420 Does that
00:17:25.980 sound real
00:17:26.840 to you?
00:17:27.180 I don't think so.
00:17:32.740 You should see
00:17:33.400 my Instagram numbers.
00:17:36.420 My Instagram numbers
00:17:37.580 are also flat forever.
00:17:39.100 Not that I do much
00:17:40.100 on Instagram,
00:17:40.960 so you're not
00:17:41.660 missing anything there.
00:17:43.140 But I don't think
00:17:45.240 it's an accident.
00:17:45.960 doesn't it look
00:17:47.880 like exactly
00:17:48.540 what it is?
00:17:52.100 I don't know.
00:17:53.740 Yeah,
00:17:54.020 what I'd be interested
00:17:54.980 in is if my
00:17:56.020 live stream audience
00:17:57.260 differs a lot.
00:17:59.920 Because if the
00:18:00.840 live stream audience
00:18:01.880 goes way up
00:18:03.100 and way down,
00:18:04.280 that would suggest
00:18:05.540 that there's
00:18:06.060 some capping
00:18:07.100 going on.
00:18:08.380 But if my
00:18:08.860 live stream audience
00:18:09.960 who are
00:18:11.080 sort of
00:18:11.720 well trained
00:18:12.780 to know where
00:18:13.640 it is
00:18:13.900 and when it
00:18:14.300 comes on,
00:18:15.100 if that's going
00:18:15.980 all over the place
00:18:16.840 but my total
00:18:18.060 number is flat,
00:18:19.520 that would
00:18:20.700 raise an eyebrow.
00:18:22.440 So,
00:18:22.960 I'm going to say
00:18:24.180 it seems most likely
00:18:25.520 that I'm capped.
00:18:27.420 Now,
00:18:27.960 would you call that
00:18:28.960 rigging an election?
00:18:31.560 Of course you would.
00:18:33.360 Of course,
00:18:33.720 that's rigging an election.
00:18:35.100 If it's true.
00:18:36.580 Now,
00:18:37.100 I can't say it's true.
00:18:38.200 I'm just looking
00:18:38.780 at the numbers
00:18:39.320 and saying,
00:18:40.240 well,
00:18:40.500 it would be
00:18:40.860 one heck of a coincidence
00:18:42.040 if it was always
00:18:43.440 the same number
00:18:44.140 and nobody else
00:18:44.960 ever has had
00:18:45.620 that experience.
00:18:47.260 So,
00:18:48.840 given that
00:18:49.660 what I mostly
00:18:51.040 talk about
00:18:51.820 is politics
00:18:53.460 and mostly
00:18:54.620 it's leaning
00:18:55.620 in one direction,
00:18:56.940 if you cap that,
00:18:58.820 what does that do
00:19:00.140 to an election?
00:19:02.880 Well,
00:19:03.200 in theory,
00:19:04.000 it should
00:19:04.300 influence it
00:19:06.820 and it should
00:19:08.240 influence it
00:19:08.880 in a way
00:19:09.320 that is unstated
00:19:10.480 and somewhat
00:19:11.260 secretive
00:19:11.940 even though
00:19:12.680 it seems obvious.
00:19:13.420 we don't know
00:19:14.000 for sure.
00:19:14.920 Cannot confirm
00:19:15.800 that that's
00:19:16.280 what's happening
00:19:16.800 because the other
00:19:18.300 possibility
00:19:18.860 is an amazing
00:19:19.600 coincidence.
00:19:20.860 A gigantic
00:19:21.760 amazing coincidence.
00:19:23.900 Could happen.
00:19:25.940 Coincidences
00:19:26.460 do happen.
00:19:27.800 Or maybe
00:19:28.420 they have
00:19:28.800 some other
00:19:29.300 explanation
00:19:29.880 about monetization
00:19:30.940 or something else
00:19:31.700 but,
00:19:32.660 well,
00:19:33.200 I don't know,
00:19:33.740 looks kind of
00:19:34.320 sketchy to me.
00:19:36.380 apparently I
00:19:39.800 was trending
00:19:40.440 this morning
00:19:40.960 on X
00:19:41.520 over that
00:19:42.380 topic.
00:19:45.120 So,
00:19:45.720 remember
00:19:45.980 Trump the
00:19:47.260 other day
00:19:47.800 said to
00:19:48.320 some Jewish
00:19:48.940 group he
00:19:49.400 was talking
00:19:49.820 to that,
00:19:51.720 quote,
00:19:51.820 any Jewish
00:19:52.440 person that
00:19:53.020 votes for
00:19:53.480 her,
00:19:53.860 meaning
00:19:54.060 Harris,
00:19:54.780 especially now,
00:19:55.760 should have
00:19:56.080 their head
00:19:56.400 examined.
00:19:57.960 He said
00:19:58.720 that if he
00:19:59.180 loses,
00:19:59.760 it will be
00:20:00.040 the fault
00:20:00.520 of Jewish
00:20:01.040 voters,
00:20:01.560 according to
00:20:02.040 Jake Tapper.
00:20:02.700 So,
00:20:04.000 Jake Tapper
00:20:04.360 was talking
00:20:04.920 to Tom Cotton
00:20:05.720 who didn't
00:20:06.900 really take
00:20:07.360 the bait.
00:20:08.860 But,
00:20:09.500 here's what
00:20:10.020 I would say.
00:20:11.440 If you
00:20:12.120 want to
00:20:12.480 judge
00:20:12.920 whether you
00:20:13.980 should
00:20:14.400 say that
00:20:16.760 Trump is
00:20:17.180 being somehow
00:20:17.840 anti-Semitic,
00:20:20.420 replace Jews
00:20:21.580 in this story
00:20:22.320 with any
00:20:22.860 other group.
00:20:24.920 And it
00:20:25.560 works for
00:20:26.160 every group.
00:20:27.680 If you
00:20:28.300 were talking
00:20:28.740 to a
00:20:29.120 women's
00:20:29.500 group,
00:20:30.220 and he
00:20:30.580 said,
00:20:31.200 if I
00:20:32.300 lose and
00:20:33.680 women didn't
00:20:34.300 vote for
00:20:34.720 me enough,
00:20:35.680 you're going
00:20:35.980 to feel
00:20:36.240 bad about
00:20:36.700 it.
00:20:37.360 It's going
00:20:37.660 to be
00:20:37.780 your fault.
00:20:39.180 And then
00:20:39.700 he goes
00:20:40.000 to the
00:20:40.220 next group
00:20:40.760 and says,
00:20:41.740 all right,
00:20:42.040 black
00:20:42.280 Americans,
00:20:43.120 if you
00:20:44.100 don't vote
00:20:44.480 for me
00:20:44.920 and I
00:20:45.480 lose,
00:20:46.500 you're
00:20:46.780 going to
00:20:46.880 feel bad.
00:20:47.340 It's going
00:20:47.540 to be
00:20:47.680 on you.
00:20:49.100 Then
00:20:49.500 he goes
00:20:49.760 to the
00:20:49.940 next group
00:20:50.480 and said,
00:20:51.480 all right,
00:20:51.740 senior citizens,
00:20:52.880 if you
00:20:53.640 don't make
00:20:54.000 it to
00:20:54.280 vote,
00:20:55.460 it's going
00:20:56.000 to be
00:20:56.180 on you.
00:20:57.640 Now,
00:20:59.040 am I
00:20:59.940 wrong that
00:21:00.480 it works
00:21:00.860 for every
00:21:01.260 group?
00:21:02.860 All it
00:21:03.560 is is
00:21:03.940 normal
00:21:04.300 talking.
00:21:05.540 Well,
00:21:06.180 normal for
00:21:06.820 Trump.
00:21:07.700 He's
00:21:07.960 basically
00:21:08.320 saying,
00:21:09.100 here's the
00:21:09.960 upside,
00:21:10.460 here's the
00:21:10.840 downside,
00:21:11.680 the upside
00:21:12.320 is terrific,
00:21:13.160 the downside
00:21:13.620 is terrible,
00:21:14.240 and you're
00:21:14.820 going to feel
00:21:15.120 bad if you're
00:21:15.720 part of the
00:21:16.100 downside.
00:21:17.340 What part
00:21:17.840 of that
00:21:18.140 exactly is
00:21:18.900 anti-Semitic?
00:21:21.000 Now,
00:21:21.680 you might
00:21:22.000 say,
00:21:22.320 but Scott,
00:21:23.180 he only
00:21:23.800 said it
00:21:24.580 to the
00:21:25.720 Jews,
00:21:26.680 to which
00:21:27.740 I say,
00:21:29.380 so.
00:21:31.560 There's
00:21:32.060 probably
00:21:32.320 lots of
00:21:32.720 things he
00:21:33.080 only said
00:21:33.680 once to
00:21:34.260 one group
00:21:34.860 or put
00:21:36.540 it in a
00:21:37.000 certain way.
00:21:38.380 I don't
00:21:39.040 think it
00:21:39.280 means anything.
00:21:40.940 And I
00:21:41.860 would be
00:21:42.160 hard-pressed
00:21:42.880 to find an
00:21:45.200 actual living
00:21:46.120 human being
00:21:46.760 who said,
00:21:47.200 you know
00:21:47.440 what,
00:21:48.280 I was
00:21:48.680 personally
00:21:49.320 offended by
00:21:50.380 that.
00:21:50.960 But watching
00:21:51.500 the news,
00:21:52.860 CNN in this
00:21:53.600 case,
00:21:54.300 try to
00:21:54.760 turn it
00:21:55.160 into
00:21:55.380 something,
00:21:56.100 it's
00:21:56.380 clearly
00:21:56.740 a
00:21:56.960 nothing.
00:21:58.080 I mean,
00:21:58.640 Trump could
00:21:59.380 not be
00:21:59.840 more pro-Jewish
00:22:01.720 American and
00:22:02.540 more pro-Israel
00:22:03.480 than anybody
00:22:04.700 you've ever
00:22:05.080 seen in your
00:22:05.580 life.
00:22:06.300 So it's
00:22:06.820 the stupidest,
00:22:08.080 weakest
00:22:08.920 attack.
00:22:10.360 And it's
00:22:10.820 lame and
00:22:11.640 it's
00:22:11.840 disgusting.
00:22:13.880 But it's
00:22:16.400 Jake
00:22:16.620 Tapper,
00:22:17.140 so.
00:22:18.400 There you
00:22:18.960 go.
00:22:19.420 And it's
00:22:19.700 a political
00:22:20.060 season.
00:22:22.640 Well,
00:22:23.160 apparently,
00:22:23.600 there's
00:22:24.680 some
00:22:24.920 thinking,
00:22:25.760 I think
00:22:26.100 this was
00:22:26.480 in the
00:22:26.760 Hill,
00:22:27.080 that Senate
00:22:28.020 Democrats
00:22:28.480 are worried
00:22:29.340 that pollsters
00:22:30.200 may be,
00:22:30.860 they might be
00:22:32.120 undercounting
00:22:32.780 the Trump
00:22:33.180 voters.
00:22:34.880 What do
00:22:35.520 you think
00:22:35.780 of that?
00:22:36.860 That's
00:22:37.180 crazy,
00:22:37.640 isn't it?
00:22:39.060 Crazy,
00:22:40.020 crazy.
00:22:40.960 The thought
00:22:41.540 that the
00:22:41.980 pollsters
00:22:42.440 might be
00:22:42.980 undercounting
00:22:44.180 the Trump
00:22:44.700 voters.
00:22:45.860 I mean,
00:22:46.160 what would
00:22:46.600 be behind
00:22:47.080 that,
00:22:47.940 other than
00:22:48.540 the express
00:22:49.500 intent to
00:22:50.600 not answer
00:22:51.220 pollsters,
00:22:52.040 and the fact
00:22:53.080 that we
00:22:53.360 saw it
00:22:53.680 in 2016,
00:22:54.760 and we
00:22:55.460 saw it
00:22:55.800 in 2020,
00:22:56.860 and every
00:22:57.560 single time
00:22:58.240 that's looked
00:22:58.700 at,
00:22:59.400 the Trump
00:22:59.780 supporters
00:23:00.240 are undercounted.
00:23:02.280 So what
00:23:02.760 would make you
00:23:03.220 think it's
00:23:03.540 going to
00:23:03.740 happen again,
00:23:04.440 just because
00:23:04.840 it happened
00:23:05.220 every time?
00:23:07.540 I mean,
00:23:08.540 come on,
00:23:09.300 where is your
00:23:09.820 reasoning?
00:23:10.680 Just because
00:23:11.200 it happened
00:23:11.620 every time,
00:23:13.480 what makes
00:23:14.480 you think
00:23:14.780 it's going
00:23:15.060 to happen
00:23:15.320 again?
00:23:15.680 Well,
00:23:18.600 pattern
00:23:18.940 recognition
00:23:19.500 maybe.
00:23:21.820 There's
00:23:22.460 an article
00:23:24.220 by Douglas
00:23:25.620 McKinnon,
00:23:26.640 and he
00:23:28.480 was saying
00:23:28.920 that the
00:23:30.420 working-class
00:23:31.160 voters are
00:23:32.240 the scared
00:23:33.020 voter majority.
00:23:34.820 He noted
00:23:35.300 that the
00:23:35.860 working-class
00:23:36.600 people are
00:23:37.120 more frightened
00:23:37.800 of their
00:23:38.480 economic future
00:23:39.520 than any
00:23:40.200 time he can
00:23:40.720 remember,
00:23:41.700 and that
00:23:42.160 they're Trump
00:23:42.760 supporters by
00:23:43.520 nature,
00:23:43.880 meaning that
00:23:45.880 they're leaning
00:23:46.340 toward Trump
00:23:46.980 as the
00:23:47.500 solution to
00:23:48.120 their economic
00:23:48.720 plight,
00:23:50.120 and that
00:23:51.620 they may be
00:23:52.800 underappreciated
00:23:55.400 just how
00:23:56.540 angry they
00:23:57.280 are,
00:23:57.900 or scared.
00:23:59.080 I think
00:23:59.360 scared is
00:23:59.920 the proper
00:24:02.260 term that
00:24:02.760 Douglas was
00:24:03.260 using.
00:24:04.380 So let
00:24:05.700 me ask you
00:24:06.220 this.
00:24:06.960 You're sitting
00:24:07.540 on your
00:24:07.900 couch.
00:24:09.120 Sometimes you
00:24:09.740 remember to
00:24:10.360 vote,
00:24:10.700 and sometimes
00:24:11.140 you don't.
00:24:12.300 Sometimes you
00:24:12.880 care,
00:24:13.240 sometimes you
00:24:13.800 don't.
00:24:14.080 You're kind
00:24:14.400 of a
00:24:14.720 sometimes
00:24:15.380 voter.
00:24:17.480 But this
00:24:18.280 time,
00:24:19.100 you're scared.
00:24:21.080 You're
00:24:21.660 actually scared.
00:24:23.580 Are you
00:24:23.880 more likely
00:24:24.340 to vote?
00:24:25.660 Yes.
00:24:27.420 So I'm
00:24:28.360 not sure
00:24:28.820 that you
00:24:29.220 can measure
00:24:30.380 likelihood
00:24:31.620 to vote
00:24:32.420 when a
00:24:33.520 gigantic
00:24:33.980 swath of
00:24:34.820 potential
00:24:35.300 Trump voters
00:24:36.060 are the
00:24:36.920 most frightened
00:24:37.780 they've
00:24:38.800 ever been,
00:24:40.280 at least,
00:24:40.880 you know,
00:24:41.400 after the
00:24:42.060 Depression,
00:24:42.500 I suppose.
00:24:42.880 about
00:24:45.300 Harris.
00:24:47.100 Now,
00:24:47.620 the potential
00:24:48.640 for them
00:24:49.180 to be
00:24:49.500 undercounted
00:24:50.260 is pretty
00:24:50.760 high,
00:24:51.800 because I
00:24:52.180 don't think
00:24:52.520 anybody in
00:24:53.860 the media
00:24:54.360 has any
00:24:55.940 sense of
00:24:57.100 the pulse
00:24:57.740 of just how
00:24:58.380 angry and
00:24:59.100 scared they
00:24:59.600 are.
00:25:00.600 So that
00:25:01.720 could be a
00:25:02.120 surprise
00:25:02.620 coming.
00:25:03.820 Could be.
00:25:04.320 there are
00:25:07.880 new polls
00:25:08.480 that came
00:25:08.900 out today
00:25:09.420 that are
00:25:09.780 all over
00:25:10.140 the place,
00:25:10.740 some of
00:25:11.180 them saying
00:25:11.700 Harris is
00:25:12.900 up and
00:25:13.400 some of
00:25:13.780 them saying
00:25:14.280 that Trump
00:25:14.780 is up.
00:25:15.820 But here's
00:25:16.880 one that
00:25:17.320 feels like
00:25:18.040 foreshadowing.
00:25:20.340 this is a
00:25:23.120 new poll
00:25:23.460 by the
00:25:23.920 CNN New
00:25:24.640 York Times.
00:25:25.640 Now,
00:25:26.180 you might
00:25:26.500 know that
00:25:27.140 the New
00:25:27.420 York Times
00:25:27.880 is not
00:25:28.340 pro-Trump.
00:25:30.800 And the
00:25:31.340 last time
00:25:31.880 they looked
00:25:33.660 at Arizona
00:25:34.420 and polled
00:25:35.000 it,
00:25:35.720 they said
00:25:36.140 Harris was
00:25:36.760 up by
00:25:37.140 five.
00:25:38.540 Now,
00:25:39.100 you might
00:25:39.320 say to
00:25:39.660 yourself,
00:25:40.360 well,
00:25:40.940 really?
00:25:42.180 Up five
00:25:43.100 in Arizona?
00:25:43.960 I mean,
00:25:44.200 if you
00:25:44.440 follow the
00:25:45.760 battleground
00:25:47.280 states at
00:25:47.800 all,
00:25:48.500 you'd know
00:25:48.880 that that
00:25:49.940 would be a
00:25:50.840 shocking,
00:25:51.720 kind of
00:25:52.820 weird result.
00:25:54.320 Up five?
00:25:56.080 Well,
00:25:56.520 they have a
00:25:56.840 new result.
00:25:57.620 They say
00:25:58.220 now Trump's
00:25:59.180 up five.
00:26:01.260 So they
00:26:02.020 went from
00:26:02.400 Harris up
00:26:02.920 five to
00:26:03.380 Trump up
00:26:03.840 five?
00:26:05.280 A ten
00:26:05.960 basis point
00:26:06.600 swing?
00:26:09.560 What?
00:26:10.700 How's that
00:26:11.420 happen?
00:26:13.320 Do you
00:26:13.940 think that
00:26:14.420 that many
00:26:14.880 people changed
00:26:15.560 their minds
00:26:16.200 since the
00:26:17.940 last time
00:26:18.320 they polled
00:26:18.680 them?
00:26:19.960 No,
00:26:20.220 they didn't.
00:26:21.280 What's
00:26:21.600 different?
00:26:23.760 How about
00:26:24.060 North Carolina?
00:26:25.560 It went
00:26:25.840 from Harris
00:26:26.520 was up
00:26:26.920 two to
00:26:27.560 Trump
00:26:27.920 is up
00:26:28.240 two,
00:26:28.720 four point
00:26:29.460 swing.
00:26:31.260 And they've
00:26:32.220 got Trump
00:26:33.140 ahead by
00:26:33.520 four in
00:26:34.040 Georgia.
00:26:35.220 Now,
00:26:35.660 it's important
00:26:36.540 to know
00:26:37.220 that there
00:26:37.880 are current
00:26:38.380 polls that
00:26:38.960 are very
00:26:39.400 different from
00:26:39.980 this.
00:26:40.800 But the
00:26:41.340 New York
00:26:41.640 Times is
00:26:42.420 not a
00:26:42.780 pro-Trump
00:26:43.280 poll.
00:26:44.620 So they're
00:26:45.320 not
00:26:45.740 cooking the
00:26:46.920 books to
00:26:47.480 help him.
00:26:50.080 So why
00:26:50.920 do you
00:26:51.160 think that
00:26:53.440 they reversed
00:26:54.340 so blatantly?
00:26:58.300 Do you
00:26:58.960 think any
00:26:59.340 other pollsters
00:27:00.180 are going to
00:27:01.160 find that
00:27:02.340 maybe their
00:27:02.800 prior answers
00:27:03.660 were a
00:27:05.080 little bit
00:27:05.320 off?
00:27:06.680 Do you
00:27:07.380 think that
00:27:08.480 when I
00:27:08.860 predicted a
00:27:09.740 year ago
00:27:10.280 and all the
00:27:11.060 smart people
00:27:11.580 predicted a
00:27:12.240 year ago
00:27:12.680 that the
00:27:13.740 polls over
00:27:14.460 the summer
00:27:14.920 would be
00:27:15.380 completely
00:27:15.880 fake and
00:27:17.760 they would
00:27:18.040 be meant
00:27:18.940 to create
00:27:19.760 a certain
00:27:20.200 voting
00:27:21.000 pattern?
00:27:22.640 And that
00:27:23.360 when we
00:27:23.680 got close
00:27:24.120 to the
00:27:24.420 actual
00:27:24.720 election,
00:27:25.580 which would
00:27:26.020 be October,
00:27:27.520 coming right
00:27:28.120 up,
00:27:29.020 that the
00:27:29.780 polls would
00:27:30.280 tighten.
00:27:31.920 And would
00:27:32.680 the polls
00:27:33.100 tighten because
00:27:33.840 the voters
00:27:34.680 would tighten
00:27:36.760 in their
00:27:37.180 opinions?
00:27:38.160 No,
00:27:38.640 I never
00:27:38.980 said that.
00:27:39.740 I said
00:27:40.840 the polls
00:27:41.300 would tighten
00:27:41.820 because they
00:27:42.440 were fake
00:27:43.060 and they
00:27:44.220 need to
00:27:44.820 become more
00:27:45.660 real when
00:27:46.360 you get to
00:27:46.920 the actual
00:27:47.400 election so
00:27:48.680 that when
00:27:49.000 everybody grades
00:27:49.820 them, the
00:27:50.520 only thing
00:27:51.140 they will be
00:27:51.540 graded on is
00:27:53.020 how they did
00:27:53.600 on the day
00:27:54.080 of the
00:27:54.300 election.
00:27:56.180 Everything
00:27:56.660 else, they
00:27:58.020 can say,
00:27:58.580 well, it
00:27:58.980 was true over
00:28:00.720 the summer, but
00:28:02.140 then people
00:28:02.620 changed their
00:28:03.160 opinions.
00:28:04.040 So we just
00:28:04.940 caught up with
00:28:05.520 their changing
00:28:05.980 opinions and
00:28:06.760 everything's
00:28:07.720 credible.
00:28:08.320 Don't worry
00:28:08.720 about it.
00:28:09.220 Yeah,
00:28:09.900 everything's
00:28:10.380 fine.
00:28:11.200 We didn't
00:28:11.620 change our
00:28:12.080 methodology.
00:28:13.420 Yeah, just
00:28:13.720 maybe people
00:28:14.320 changed their
00:28:14.840 minds.
00:28:15.760 But in fact,
00:28:16.580 we expect that
00:28:18.260 they will change
00:28:18.880 their methodologies.
00:28:21.540 Could it be
00:28:22.540 that the
00:28:24.000 Siena New York
00:28:24.700 Times has
00:28:25.480 decided to get
00:28:26.360 ahead of it
00:28:27.360 and they
00:28:28.400 went early?
00:28:31.760 What do
00:28:32.440 you think?
00:28:33.460 Do you think
00:28:34.280 there's any
00:28:34.800 change in
00:28:35.460 their methodology?
00:28:37.400 I don't know,
00:28:38.320 one way or
00:28:38.880 the other.
00:28:39.220 But how do
00:28:40.260 you get this
00:28:40.820 much of a
00:28:41.360 swing when
00:28:43.280 there wasn't
00:28:43.920 much that
00:28:44.800 happened that
00:28:45.360 should have
00:28:45.840 changed the
00:28:46.340 polling?
00:28:49.840 So I'm
00:28:50.700 going to say
00:28:51.260 keep an eye
00:28:52.320 on this
00:28:52.780 space.
00:28:54.020 If in the
00:28:54.740 next week or
00:28:55.420 two you see
00:28:56.060 another one
00:28:56.580 like this
00:28:57.160 where, huh,
00:28:58.720 it really went
00:28:59.420 from one direction
00:29:00.260 to the other
00:29:00.740 kind of quickly
00:29:01.400 and I don't
00:29:02.620 see anything in
00:29:03.280 the news that
00:29:03.980 would have
00:29:04.220 caused that.
00:29:06.540 Look for
00:29:07.180 that.
00:29:07.660 anyway,
00:29:10.380 here's another
00:29:12.480 little sign.
00:29:14.280 Colin Ruggs
00:29:14.880 talking about
00:29:15.380 this on X.
00:29:16.500 There's a
00:29:17.180 Democrat mayor
00:29:18.000 who's a
00:29:19.160 Muslim and
00:29:20.600 he's a mayor
00:29:21.080 in Hamtramck
00:29:22.540 in Michigan.
00:29:23.980 Now, it's a
00:29:24.420 smallish city,
00:29:25.420 but it's
00:29:27.760 notable because
00:29:28.520 he's a
00:29:28.880 Democrat and
00:29:29.600 he's a
00:29:29.900 Muslim and
00:29:30.740 he's in
00:29:31.200 politics and
00:29:32.600 he has
00:29:32.980 announced he's
00:29:33.640 endorsing
00:29:34.120 Donald Trump.
00:29:37.220 In 2021,
00:29:38.880 they elected,
00:29:39.740 they're the
00:29:40.040 first nation
00:29:40.680 and the
00:29:41.640 first city in
00:29:42.940 the nation
00:29:43.360 to have an
00:29:44.440 all-Muslim
00:29:45.240 city council.
00:29:46.600 So we're
00:29:48.600 talking about
00:29:49.440 a place that
00:29:50.280 politically is
00:29:51.180 very Muslim
00:29:52.380 and the
00:29:53.360 mayor,
00:29:53.860 who's a
00:29:54.280 Democrat,
00:29:55.680 just endorsed
00:29:56.820 Trump.
00:29:57.320 When I found
00:29:57.860 out my friend
00:29:58.520 got a great
00:29:59.180 deal on a
00:29:59.820 wool coat
00:30:00.220 from Winners,
00:30:01.060 I started
00:30:01.820 wondering,
00:30:02.740 is every
00:30:03.560 fabulous item
00:30:04.340 I see from
00:30:05.020 Winners?
00:30:05.820 Like that
00:30:06.360 woman over
00:30:06.840 there with
00:30:07.300 the designer
00:30:07.740 jeans.
00:30:08.580 Are those
00:30:09.160 from Winners?
00:30:10.100 Ooh,
00:30:10.720 or those
00:30:11.060 beautiful gold
00:30:11.680 earrings?
00:30:12.540 Did she pay
00:30:12.980 full price?
00:30:13.880 Or that
00:30:14.160 leather tote?
00:30:14.920 Or that
00:30:15.180 cashmere sweater?
00:30:15.820 Or those
00:30:16.440 knee-high
00:30:16.760 boots?
00:30:17.600 That dress?
00:30:18.380 That jacket?
00:30:19.040 Those shoes?
00:30:20.080 Is anyone
00:30:20.860 paying full
00:30:21.480 price for
00:30:22.040 anything?
00:30:23.020 Stop
00:30:23.500 wondering.
00:30:24.280 Start winning.
00:30:25.220 Winners.
00:30:25.820 Find fabulous
00:30:26.480 for less.
00:30:30.360 What's going
00:30:31.160 on here?
00:30:33.060 Have you
00:30:33.760 noticed that
00:30:34.560 it's sort
00:30:36.860 of hilarious
00:30:37.440 the
00:30:38.620 endorsements
00:30:40.400 that Harris
00:30:40.860 is getting?
00:30:42.280 So,
00:30:43.120 instead of
00:30:43.800 getting the
00:30:44.200 Teamsters Union,
00:30:45.360 which would
00:30:45.660 be a nice,
00:30:47.080 really meaty,
00:30:48.220 solid endorsement,
00:30:49.400 they decided,
00:30:50.680 eh,
00:30:51.620 maybe we
00:30:52.120 won't endorse
00:30:52.740 anybody.
00:30:53.600 We always,
00:30:54.400 seems like we
00:30:55.060 always do the
00:30:55.660 Democrats,
00:30:56.600 at least for
00:30:57.480 the last few
00:30:58.140 decades,
00:30:58.720 but maybe you
00:30:59.420 just won't do
00:31:00.060 one this time.
00:31:01.720 Well,
00:31:02.000 that's pretty
00:31:02.340 bad,
00:31:02.660 but don't
00:31:02.960 worry,
00:31:04.100 because she
00:31:04.540 did get
00:31:05.200 the Cheney
00:31:06.140 endorsement.
00:31:07.640 Oh.
00:31:09.240 And she
00:31:09.900 got the
00:31:10.260 IRS
00:31:10.660 endorsement.
00:31:12.400 Wait,
00:31:12.740 what?
00:31:12.980 we're a
00:31:15.140 country that
00:31:15.700 was literally
00:31:16.220 founded on
00:31:17.440 dumping tea
00:31:19.740 in the
00:31:20.120 harbor
00:31:20.400 because we
00:31:21.820 didn't want
00:31:22.180 to pay
00:31:22.440 taxes.
00:31:25.000 So,
00:31:26.400 anyway,
00:31:28.600 I've got a
00:31:31.360 feeling that,
00:31:32.360 and do you
00:31:32.820 remember the
00:31:33.180 story of,
00:31:33.940 there was a
00:31:34.480 CBS reporter
00:31:35.440 who went to a
00:31:36.740 bunch of
00:31:37.320 restaurants in
00:31:38.360 one of the
00:31:38.680 battleground states
00:31:39.580 and could
00:31:41.240 only find
00:31:41.900 one person
00:31:42.820 in each
00:31:43.400 restaurant that
00:31:44.160 was a
00:31:44.440 Harris
00:31:44.640 supporter,
00:31:45.720 and everybody
00:31:46.560 else was
00:31:47.020 Trump.
00:31:48.200 And then you
00:31:48.600 look at the
00:31:49.020 polls and it
00:31:49.580 looked about
00:31:50.160 even.
00:31:51.880 But is
00:31:53.080 that because
00:31:53.600 Democrats don't
00:31:54.680 go to
00:31:54.940 restaurants?
00:31:57.200 Like,
00:31:57.880 why is it
00:31:58.800 that the
00:32:00.020 anecdotal stuff
00:32:00.940 is so far
00:32:01.800 off the
00:32:03.060 data?
00:32:04.580 Consistently.
00:32:06.300 Hmm.
00:32:07.120 I wonder what
00:32:07.760 that is.
00:32:09.080 What's that
00:32:09.540 all about?
00:32:10.560 Then you
00:32:10.940 look at the
00:32:11.380 fact that
00:32:11.860 people are
00:32:12.300 wearing MAGA
00:32:13.100 hats in
00:32:13.560 public that
00:32:14.320 they've never
00:32:14.740 been able to
00:32:15.260 do before.
00:32:16.640 What's that
00:32:17.260 all about?
00:32:19.320 You know,
00:32:19.600 one of the
00:32:20.120 BS filters
00:32:22.020 that I teach
00:32:22.780 you is when
00:32:24.180 observation doesn't
00:32:25.840 match the
00:32:26.480 science.
00:32:27.780 Now,
00:32:28.040 what you
00:32:28.400 shouldn't do
00:32:29.220 is assume
00:32:30.280 that the
00:32:30.800 observation is
00:32:31.660 somehow scientific
00:32:32.500 proof.
00:32:33.480 It's not.
00:32:35.220 But if
00:32:36.160 your observation
00:32:36.960 violently
00:32:38.300 disagrees with
00:32:39.780 the data,
00:32:41.040 you should
00:32:41.620 start asking
00:32:42.320 some questions.
00:32:43.580 And I always
00:32:44.020 use the same
00:32:44.620 example.
00:32:45.620 The data
00:32:46.080 says that
00:32:46.760 smoking cigarettes
00:32:48.020 can give you
00:32:48.940 lung cancer.
00:32:50.360 And sure
00:32:50.720 enough,
00:32:51.660 I observe
00:32:52.300 across my
00:32:53.200 entire life
00:32:53.900 that I only
00:32:55.120 know one
00:32:55.820 person who
00:32:56.360 died of lung
00:32:56.940 cancer who
00:32:57.520 was not a
00:32:58.180 smoker.
00:32:59.280 Everybody
00:32:59.560 else was a
00:33:00.160 smoker.
00:33:01.380 So that
00:33:02.000 fits.
00:33:02.960 Anecdote,
00:33:03.820 science,
00:33:04.500 perfect.
00:33:05.780 Got it.
00:33:07.800 But why
00:33:08.520 did the
00:33:08.880 polls say
00:33:09.440 that the
00:33:09.860 election is
00:33:10.440 close, but
00:33:11.760 every time
00:33:12.200 you talk to
00:33:12.960 a group of
00:33:13.460 people, it
00:33:13.860 doesn't look
00:33:14.260 that way?
00:33:16.020 Shouldn't
00:33:16.500 there be
00:33:17.080 also some
00:33:18.100 anecdotes
00:33:18.780 where somebody
00:33:19.420 went somewhere
00:33:20.440 and everybody
00:33:21.700 was just
00:33:22.300 accidentally a
00:33:23.520 Harris supporter?
00:33:26.560 Have you
00:33:27.220 seen the
00:33:27.580 work?
00:33:28.120 I can't
00:33:29.180 remember.
00:33:29.680 Maybe you'll
00:33:30.020 tell me in
00:33:30.420 the comments.
00:33:32.300 Gentleman
00:33:33.020 who's last
00:33:33.620 name is
00:33:34.080 Saruga.
00:33:35.380 Sarugo?
00:33:36.620 I think I'm
00:33:37.160 butchering that.
00:33:38.380 So in the
00:33:38.720 comments, you'll
00:33:39.820 know who I'm
00:33:40.300 talking about
00:33:40.780 when I mention
00:33:41.260 it.
00:33:41.980 So on X,
00:33:42.640 there's some
00:33:44.380 expert who
00:33:45.100 has some
00:33:45.480 equipment and
00:33:47.000 allegedly they
00:33:47.900 can go to
00:33:48.480 a Kamala
00:33:50.480 Harris rally
00:33:51.120 and they can
00:33:52.680 determine how
00:33:53.480 many of the
00:33:53.900 people who
00:33:54.440 have been to
00:33:55.160 that rally
00:33:55.680 had been to
00:33:56.740 prior rallies
00:33:57.640 because they
00:33:58.800 would use the
00:33:59.280 same equipment
00:33:59.900 at various
00:34:00.760 rallies and
00:34:02.280 they seem to
00:34:03.160 determine that
00:34:03.860 a huge
00:34:04.540 percentage of
00:34:05.980 the people who
00:34:06.500 attend to
00:34:06.860 rallies have
00:34:08.420 attended prior
00:34:09.240 rallies in
00:34:10.640 very different
00:34:11.280 places, meaning
00:34:12.440 that they would
00:34:12.940 have to be
00:34:13.360 bused in or
00:34:14.040 drive in and
00:34:15.760 that they would
00:34:16.220 be essentially
00:34:17.260 professional
00:34:18.880 attendees.
00:34:20.560 Now, I don't
00:34:21.720 know if there's
00:34:22.320 something like
00:34:23.000 that with
00:34:24.200 Trump supporters
00:34:25.100 because I
00:34:26.060 wouldn't be
00:34:26.400 surprised if it's
00:34:27.180 like the
00:34:27.480 Grateful Dead,
00:34:28.540 you know, that
00:34:28.880 both candidates
00:34:29.660 have people
00:34:30.220 who maybe
00:34:31.100 just travel
00:34:31.700 around because
00:34:32.240 they love
00:34:32.960 the environment,
00:34:34.020 you know, maybe
00:34:34.300 they just love
00:34:34.960 how it feels.
00:34:36.260 So there could
00:34:36.860 be some
00:34:38.220 correlation that
00:34:39.060 everybody has
00:34:39.780 this, but it's
00:34:41.000 being reported
00:34:41.600 as a Harris
00:34:43.480 specific thing.
00:34:46.180 So there again,
00:34:47.720 I don't know
00:34:48.540 the accuracy
00:34:50.240 of the claims,
00:34:51.280 I don't know
00:34:51.760 if the equipment
00:34:52.300 does what it's
00:34:52.960 supposed to do,
00:34:53.840 but again,
00:34:54.940 these are
00:34:55.260 anecdotal.
00:34:57.100 So everybody
00:34:59.020 who's looking
00:35:00.020 for the
00:35:01.260 ground-based
00:35:02.240 support of
00:35:03.200 Harris doesn't
00:35:03.880 find it.
00:35:05.360 Everybody.
00:35:06.760 Let me say
00:35:07.260 it again.
00:35:08.180 Everybody who
00:35:08.980 looks for it
00:35:09.880 in just the
00:35:11.280 population, the
00:35:12.140 public, they
00:35:13.200 don't find it,
00:35:14.340 but the polls
00:35:15.240 do.
00:35:17.380 So what's
00:35:19.380 going on?
00:35:19.860 Now, I
00:35:23.060 remind you
00:35:23.560 again, don't
00:35:24.420 believe the
00:35:24.920 anecdotal over
00:35:25.880 the data, but
00:35:27.620 don't believe
00:35:28.120 data in
00:35:28.680 general, because
00:35:29.720 most of our
00:35:30.240 data is
00:35:30.620 motivated and
00:35:31.360 fake, for
00:35:32.200 everything,
00:35:33.020 motivated and
00:35:33.880 fake.
00:35:36.440 Trump said
00:35:37.360 at some
00:35:38.980 event he was
00:35:39.760 at just
00:35:40.560 yesterday, now
00:35:42.160 I think he
00:35:43.300 was sort of
00:35:44.420 joking or
00:35:45.160 maybe testing.
00:35:46.220 this didn't
00:35:47.880 sound like it
00:35:48.500 was yet
00:35:48.840 serious, but
00:35:50.320 it does
00:35:50.720 suggest that
00:35:51.500 the idea is
00:35:52.260 in his head.
00:35:53.840 And Trump
00:35:54.220 said this in
00:35:54.960 public about
00:35:56.480 crypto.
00:35:57.500 He said,
00:35:57.860 maybe we'll
00:35:58.360 pay the
00:35:58.780 $35 trillion
00:35:59.680 debt in
00:36:00.420 crypto.
00:36:01.860 Now, may
00:36:02.960 I invite the
00:36:03.740 NPCs to
00:36:05.420 weigh in?
00:36:06.360 If you're an
00:36:07.080 NPC, what you
00:36:08.740 should say now
00:36:09.760 is, Scott,
00:36:11.560 Scott, he
00:36:12.380 doesn't
00:36:12.760 understand.
00:36:14.260 you can't
00:36:15.140 just print
00:36:15.820 extra
00:36:16.660 bitcoins.
00:36:17.800 Bitcoin does
00:36:18.440 not work that
00:36:19.080 way.
00:36:19.880 And then you
00:36:20.280 would mansplain
00:36:21.200 bitcoin to
00:36:21.940 me.
00:36:22.740 Even though
00:36:23.660 bitcoin is
00:36:24.800 not the
00:36:25.320 topic, because
00:36:26.760 he said
00:36:27.360 crypto, which
00:36:29.780 is all the
00:36:30.400 cryptos, he
00:36:31.520 did not say
00:36:32.160 bitcoin.
00:36:33.100 So if you're
00:36:33.840 an NPC, you
00:36:35.000 must be
00:36:35.420 obsessed with
00:36:36.480 how this
00:36:36.880 doesn't apply
00:36:37.500 to bitcoin, and
00:36:38.820 you should
00:36:39.200 school me on
00:36:39.880 it.
00:36:40.380 I'm already
00:36:40.820 seeing people
00:36:41.380 jumping into
00:36:41.920 the comments
00:36:42.520 on X to
00:36:43.720 do that.
00:36:44.640 Scott, apparently
00:36:45.780 you don't
00:36:46.380 understand how
00:36:47.200 bitcoin works.
00:36:48.720 To which I
00:36:49.160 say, commenter,
00:36:50.780 apparently you
00:36:51.480 don't understand
00:36:52.180 what the topic
00:36:52.840 is, because
00:36:53.380 it's not about
00:36:54.000 bitcoin.
00:36:55.220 So let's get
00:36:56.240 that out of
00:36:56.660 the way.
00:36:57.700 NPCs, you're
00:36:58.300 still welcome to
00:36:59.020 join in, but
00:36:59.700 now we all
00:37:00.420 know who you
00:37:00.900 are.
00:37:01.800 So please
00:37:02.520 explain how
00:37:03.240 you can't
00:37:03.680 just print
00:37:04.200 some more
00:37:04.560 bitcoins.
00:37:05.700 We know
00:37:06.360 it.
00:37:07.340 We know
00:37:07.800 it.
00:37:08.920 All right.
00:37:09.540 But the
00:37:09.840 other cryptos
00:37:10.840 could have
00:37:12.500 different
00:37:12.760 nature, so
00:37:13.900 bitcoin is
00:37:14.600 special.
00:37:15.240 It's the
00:37:15.500 one that's
00:37:15.840 limited.
00:37:17.380 You could
00:37:17.820 say algorithmically
00:37:19.620 limited,
00:37:21.180 mathematically
00:37:21.640 limited,
00:37:22.460 limited by
00:37:23.080 formula.
00:37:23.920 I don't
00:37:24.120 know what
00:37:24.380 would be
00:37:24.640 the correct
00:37:26.300 programmatically
00:37:27.400 limited.
00:37:27.840 But you
00:37:29.360 can't just
00:37:30.080 make more.
00:37:30.640 You can
00:37:30.820 mine it, and
00:37:32.220 they get
00:37:32.480 harder and
00:37:32.940 harder to
00:37:33.320 find the
00:37:33.920 more you
00:37:34.220 find.
00:37:35.040 But you
00:37:35.660 can't just
00:37:36.020 make one.
00:37:36.760 Anyway, is
00:37:40.000 Trump's
00:37:40.600 statement,
00:37:42.380 maybe we
00:37:42.880 will pay
00:37:43.220 the $35
00:37:43.780 trillion debt
00:37:44.520 in crypto
00:37:45.100 serious or
00:37:46.820 non-serious?
00:37:48.940 Here's my
00:37:49.580 best guess,
00:37:50.860 and I can't
00:37:51.460 read his
00:37:51.780 mind, so
00:37:53.240 I'm not
00:37:53.520 going to
00:37:53.680 try to
00:37:53.900 read his
00:37:54.140 mind, but
00:37:55.700 if I were
00:37:57.420 him, I'll
00:37:58.140 just do it
00:37:58.560 this way.
00:37:59.260 If I were
00:37:59.840 him, this
00:38:00.360 is what I
00:38:00.840 would do.
00:38:01.760 I would
00:38:02.360 throw it
00:38:02.760 out there
00:38:03.200 and just
00:38:04.400 see what
00:38:04.700 people said.
00:38:05.280 I've told
00:38:06.680 you this
00:38:07.000 before, the
00:38:07.760 Hollywood
00:38:09.080 concept for
00:38:10.220 brainstorming.
00:38:12.100 The Hollywood
00:38:12.880 concept is, I
00:38:14.300 call it the
00:38:14.840 bad idea.
00:38:16.160 I didn't
00:38:16.520 make this
00:38:16.940 up, it
00:38:17.340 came to
00:38:17.640 me when
00:38:17.920 I worked
00:38:18.220 a little
00:38:18.460 bit in
00:38:18.740 Hollywood.
00:38:20.660 The bad
00:38:21.400 idea is you
00:38:22.440 think there's
00:38:23.060 a good idea
00:38:23.740 that could
00:38:24.200 be had, but
00:38:24.880 you don't
00:38:25.140 have it.
00:38:26.340 You just
00:38:26.740 know it
00:38:27.400 might be
00:38:28.040 maybe over
00:38:29.280 in this
00:38:29.620 area.
00:38:30.780 So the
00:38:31.380 bad idea
00:38:31.940 is the
00:38:32.420 idea that
00:38:33.060 just puts
00:38:33.480 your brain
00:38:33.960 in that
00:38:34.320 area.
00:38:35.280 Okay, here's
00:38:36.260 the bad
00:38:36.620 version.
00:38:37.720 So the
00:38:38.540 bad version
00:38:39.080 is we
00:38:40.060 pay off
00:38:40.460 the debt
00:38:40.780 with
00:38:40.960 Bitcoin.
00:38:41.560 And then
00:38:41.740 somebody
00:38:42.020 says, no,
00:38:42.660 no, no,
00:38:42.920 that doesn't
00:38:43.300 work that
00:38:43.640 way.
00:38:43.920 You can't
00:38:44.240 just print
00:38:44.780 extra
00:38:45.120 Bitcoins.
00:38:45.720 That would
00:38:45.880 just be
00:38:46.180 inflationary.
00:38:47.180 And then
00:38:47.740 somebody else
00:38:48.260 says, but
00:38:48.960 wait a
00:38:49.320 minute, suppose
00:38:51.140 we did
00:38:53.120 this or
00:38:53.800 suppose we
00:38:54.380 did that.
00:38:55.700 And then
00:38:55.980 it wasn't
00:38:57.700 obvious, but
00:38:58.640 finally somebody
00:38:59.580 smart enough
00:39:00.280 says, you
00:39:01.140 know, there
00:39:01.600 is one and
00:39:02.820 only one way
00:39:03.620 you can make
00:39:04.180 this work.
00:39:05.360 It's if
00:39:05.980 you do
00:39:06.300 this, this,
00:39:06.880 and that.
00:39:07.660 And then
00:39:08.300 you've got a
00:39:08.720 solution.
00:39:10.200 Now, do I
00:39:11.160 think that
00:39:11.620 there's a
00:39:12.100 crypto solution
00:39:12.880 to the
00:39:13.540 $35 trillion
00:39:14.440 in debt?
00:39:15.480 Not that I
00:39:16.220 know of, but
00:39:17.420 I did the
00:39:17.900 same thing
00:39:18.440 most of you
00:39:19.120 saw a few
00:39:20.580 months ago.
00:39:21.060 I was asking
00:39:21.920 the same
00:39:22.360 question.
00:39:22.780 Again, not
00:39:23.640 about Bitcoin,
00:39:25.220 but I was
00:39:25.860 asking the same
00:39:26.440 question.
00:39:26.960 Is there a
00:39:27.500 path where
00:39:29.540 you could just
00:39:30.220 convert the
00:39:31.840 debt into
00:39:32.660 crypto and
00:39:34.380 you could
00:39:34.760 say to the
00:39:35.480 people who
00:39:36.460 hold the
00:39:37.720 debt, we're
00:39:38.620 going to pay
00:39:38.920 you back.
00:39:40.040 It's just
00:39:40.640 going to be
00:39:40.960 in crypto.
00:39:42.100 Now, you
00:39:42.640 might say to
00:39:43.160 yourself, wait,
00:39:44.700 Scott, that
00:39:45.340 would be
00:39:45.640 disruptive and
00:39:46.680 have all these
00:39:47.360 problems, and
00:39:48.040 you'd be right.
00:39:49.320 But remember,
00:39:50.160 I'm not giving
00:39:51.320 you a solution.
00:39:52.500 I'm just taking
00:39:53.420 your brain to
00:39:54.260 an area where
00:39:56.100 if there's
00:39:56.660 somebody smarter
00:39:57.500 who can just
00:39:58.680 see around a
00:39:59.300 corner better
00:39:59.840 than I
00:40:00.180 can, maybe
00:40:01.660 you see
00:40:02.020 something, then
00:40:03.200 you tell me.
00:40:04.400 So I'm not
00:40:04.900 telling you what
00:40:05.460 the idea is.
00:40:06.900 I'm trying to
00:40:07.680 prime you so
00:40:08.760 there's somebody
00:40:09.220 smarter who can
00:40:10.000 tell me what
00:40:10.520 the idea is.
00:40:12.000 Is there a
00:40:12.580 crypto play?
00:40:13.660 I think maybe.
00:40:16.800 Here's the
00:40:17.320 thing.
00:40:17.540 I can smell
00:40:18.200 it, but I
00:40:18.620 can't see it.
00:40:20.540 And this is
00:40:21.080 something that
00:40:21.700 creative people
00:40:23.020 experience maybe
00:40:24.400 more than other
00:40:25.020 people.
00:40:25.560 I don't know.
00:40:26.320 So being a
00:40:27.160 creator for a
00:40:28.360 living, I
00:40:29.240 literally create
00:40:30.500 several things
00:40:31.160 a day of
00:40:31.620 commercial value.
00:40:34.780 You can
00:40:35.500 usually sense,
00:40:38.200 I'll say
00:40:38.680 smell, but you
00:40:39.840 can sense that
00:40:40.820 there's something
00:40:41.320 there long before
00:40:42.220 you know what
00:40:42.680 it is.
00:40:44.100 Have you had
00:40:44.720 that experience?
00:40:46.120 So I can tell
00:40:47.080 you that I sense
00:40:47.980 there's something
00:40:48.480 there, but I
00:40:49.500 definitely don't
00:40:50.000 see it.
00:40:51.140 There's no part
00:40:51.860 of my logic or
00:40:52.700 my knowledge about
00:40:53.500 the area that
00:40:54.220 could connect
00:40:55.020 the dots.
00:40:55.540 I'm seeing
00:41:00.580 the comments
00:41:01.160 from Adam
00:41:02.100 that Trump
00:41:04.520 has one
00:41:05.080 thing going
00:41:05.580 for him that
00:41:06.340 most, maybe
00:41:07.580 all, politicians
00:41:08.860 don't have, that
00:41:10.400 he's willing to
00:41:11.060 put a crazy
00:41:11.660 idea into the
00:41:13.600 public.
00:41:14.240 Just see what
00:41:14.760 happens.
00:41:16.280 You know, he
00:41:16.720 got criticized
00:41:17.400 for allegedly, I
00:41:19.620 don't know if
00:41:19.960 this even
00:41:20.480 happened, bringing
00:41:22.220 up the idea of
00:41:23.040 nuking hurricanes
00:41:23.940 when they were
00:41:24.720 young, so that
00:41:25.680 they didn't turn
00:41:26.200 into full
00:41:26.560 hurricanes.
00:41:27.700 Now, that
00:41:28.800 turned into
00:41:29.360 when it became
00:41:30.000 public, if it
00:41:31.560 really happened,
00:41:32.140 we don't know
00:41:32.560 if it really
00:41:32.940 happened, but
00:41:33.780 when it became
00:41:34.600 public that
00:41:35.340 allegedly said
00:41:36.220 that, people
00:41:37.340 said, my
00:41:37.720 goodness, that's
00:41:38.440 the worst idea
00:41:39.100 in the world.
00:41:40.080 To which I
00:41:40.880 say, I don't
00:41:41.620 think you
00:41:41.940 understand what
00:41:42.640 that was.
00:41:44.120 That was this.
00:41:46.160 That was, I'm
00:41:47.620 going to throw
00:41:48.040 out an idea that
00:41:49.020 I'm pretty sure
00:41:49.620 is terrible.
00:41:51.660 But, is there
00:41:53.180 somebody else
00:41:53.860 who could tell
00:41:54.380 me how to
00:41:54.840 make it
00:41:55.140 work?
00:41:56.480 For example,
00:41:57.960 you know, you
00:41:58.300 wouldn't want to
00:41:58.860 nuke something
00:41:59.640 and have all
00:42:00.140 the, you know,
00:42:00.640 the nuclear
00:42:01.100 waste doing
00:42:02.820 all the things
00:42:03.340 it does.
00:42:04.020 But, what if,
00:42:06.000 what if, somebody
00:42:07.060 said, you know
00:42:07.560 what, if you
00:42:09.240 caught it early
00:42:09.960 enough, you
00:42:11.240 could use a
00:42:11.800 mother-of-all
00:42:12.400 bomb and it's
00:42:13.020 not even, it's
00:42:15.080 not even
00:42:15.680 nuclear?
00:42:17.680 Now, I don't
00:42:18.360 think that's an
00:42:19.020 answer.
00:42:19.500 I don't think
00:42:20.060 that a mother-of-all
00:42:20.740 bomb would be big
00:42:21.700 enough to stop a
00:42:22.360 hurricane.
00:42:23.020 But then
00:42:23.380 somebody else
00:42:23.940 would say,
00:42:24.920 well, wait a
00:42:25.280 minute, we're
00:42:25.720 talking about
00:42:26.160 stopping hurricanes?
00:42:28.120 I've got an
00:42:28.840 idea.
00:42:30.460 My idea is, if
00:42:31.800 we're even in
00:42:32.360 the topic of
00:42:33.020 stopping hurricanes,
00:42:34.180 let's forget
00:42:34.900 the bomb and
00:42:36.640 let's go to
00:42:37.540 the Sahara
00:42:39.220 Desert, and
00:42:40.700 well, the
00:42:41.320 desert is part
00:42:42.240 of northern
00:42:42.780 Africa, and
00:42:44.220 let's work
00:42:44.940 really hard at
00:42:45.500 planting trees
00:42:46.440 and reforesting
00:42:47.640 it.
00:42:48.220 Because it
00:42:48.920 turns out that
00:42:50.400 the temperature
00:42:50.980 difference in
00:42:51.840 the deserts
00:42:53.440 of northern
00:42:53.900 Africa are
00:42:55.400 so different
00:42:56.440 than the
00:42:56.840 temperatures in
00:42:57.480 other places
00:42:58.020 that that's
00:42:58.660 what causes
00:42:59.140 the wind to
00:42:59.700 start moving
00:43:00.180 fast.
00:43:01.400 So if you
00:43:01.840 could change
00:43:02.500 the temperature
00:43:03.180 differential,
00:43:04.360 you could
00:43:05.440 actually stop
00:43:06.920 hurricanes.
00:43:09.020 Or you
00:43:09.740 could lessen
00:43:10.500 them because
00:43:11.100 there'd be less
00:43:11.620 differential in
00:43:12.400 temperature.
00:43:13.380 And that
00:43:14.000 probably would
00:43:15.080 work.
00:43:16.120 Like, it'd be
00:43:16.920 expensive, and
00:43:17.900 it'd take a
00:43:18.380 while, but you
00:43:19.880 could actually
00:43:20.580 maybe stop
00:43:21.480 hurricanes that
00:43:22.240 came from
00:43:22.640 that one
00:43:23.120 direction.
00:43:25.060 So, that's
00:43:26.660 the way I
00:43:27.180 see Trump's
00:43:28.100 ideas that
00:43:29.620 sound crazy.
00:43:31.060 I think he
00:43:31.860 lived in the
00:43:32.440 real world, and
00:43:33.340 he's also lived
00:43:34.000 in the Hollywood
00:43:34.560 world.
00:43:35.740 What do you
00:43:36.160 learn when you
00:43:36.680 live in the
00:43:37.300 Hollywood world?
00:43:38.300 Remember, he
00:43:39.320 had a hit
00:43:39.680 show on TV
00:43:41.320 surrounded by
00:43:42.580 the same people
00:43:43.200 I was surrounded
00:43:44.040 by when I
00:43:45.260 worked in the
00:43:45.960 LA Hollywood
00:43:47.120 world for the
00:43:47.980 Dilbert TV show.
00:43:48.880 Do you
00:43:49.980 think he's
00:43:50.380 ever heard
00:43:50.840 the idea, or
00:43:52.280 been in the
00:43:52.760 room when it
00:43:53.180 happened, that
00:43:54.460 somebody threw
00:43:55.040 out the bad
00:43:55.620 idea?
00:43:57.220 Because that's
00:43:57.840 where it comes
00:43:58.260 from.
00:43:58.960 It's like a
00:43:59.580 Hollywood thing.
00:44:00.500 You throw out
00:44:01.060 the bad idea
00:44:01.780 to get to the
00:44:03.040 good idea.
00:44:04.380 But if he
00:44:05.160 takes that and
00:44:05.780 he's standing
00:44:06.200 next to a
00:44:06.960 military general
00:44:07.820 and he says,
00:44:09.860 the bad idea,
00:44:11.300 why don't we
00:44:11.740 nuke a hurricane?
00:44:13.020 Is the
00:44:13.600 military general
00:44:14.460 going to say,
00:44:15.460 well, there's a
00:44:16.120 man who knows
00:44:16.760 how to make
00:44:18.100 people think
00:44:18.760 more deeply
00:44:19.280 about things.
00:44:20.140 I'm not going
00:44:20.920 to take the
00:44:21.360 nuclear part too
00:44:22.220 seriously, but
00:44:22.980 let me really
00:44:23.900 focus on, are
00:44:25.000 there any
00:44:25.400 solutions to
00:44:26.900 stop a hurricane
00:44:27.620 before it gets
00:44:28.260 going?
00:44:30.120 So you can see
00:44:31.020 how the rumor
00:44:31.560 would start, but
00:44:33.120 you could also
00:44:33.620 see that the
00:44:34.620 smarter people are
00:44:35.580 asking the
00:44:36.180 dumbest questions.
00:44:38.360 But let me
00:44:39.160 give you another
00:44:39.620 dumb, like
00:44:41.420 really dumb.
00:44:42.720 Here's a dumb
00:44:43.280 one.
00:44:44.280 We keep sending
00:44:45.320 rockets into space,
00:44:46.620 space, but
00:44:47.460 then the rocket
00:44:48.080 itself gets
00:44:48.800 wasted, like
00:44:49.840 it just falls
00:44:50.680 in the ocean.
00:44:52.560 So is there
00:44:53.880 any way for
00:44:54.540 the rocket to
00:44:56.100 just land?
00:44:57.940 Oh, you
00:44:58.600 idiot.
00:45:00.060 You idiot.
00:45:01.440 Have you ever
00:45:01.840 seen a rocket?
00:45:03.780 Let me explain
00:45:04.760 this to you.
00:45:05.920 Okay, so
00:45:06.600 your rocket is
00:45:08.700 this tall thing
00:45:09.720 and it's
00:45:10.400 falling through
00:45:11.420 space.
00:45:11.960 it's not
00:45:13.420 going to
00:45:13.680 land
00:45:14.360 upright.
00:45:16.240 That's not
00:45:16.920 a thing.
00:45:18.300 It's crazy.
00:45:20.440 Except that
00:45:21.260 that's why
00:45:22.780 Elon Musk
00:45:23.340 made work.
00:45:25.440 Let me say
00:45:26.120 this.
00:45:28.380 Let me
00:45:29.380 trade out
00:45:29.940 the general.
00:45:31.700 All right?
00:45:32.440 So let's go
00:45:32.960 back to where
00:45:33.580 allegedly, again,
00:45:34.880 I'm not even
00:45:35.300 sure it happened,
00:45:36.080 but allegedly,
00:45:37.360 Trump said in
00:45:38.140 front of a
00:45:38.600 general, could
00:45:39.400 we nuke a
00:45:39.980 hurricane?
00:45:40.360 Now, let's
00:45:42.480 just replace
00:45:43.060 the general.
00:45:45.060 And it's
00:45:45.400 Elon Musk,
00:45:46.600 and he's
00:45:47.540 walking with
00:45:48.120 Trump, and
00:45:48.700 Trump says,
00:45:49.440 you think we
00:45:50.420 could just
00:45:50.760 nuke a
00:45:51.280 hurricane?
00:45:52.600 What does
00:45:53.200 Elon Musk
00:45:53.680 say?
00:45:54.720 Does he say,
00:45:55.400 oh, I can't
00:45:55.900 wait to leak
00:45:56.820 this about
00:45:57.380 this idiot,
00:45:58.520 like the
00:45:58.940 general did,
00:45:59.520 who should
00:45:59.800 be fired
00:46:00.160 immediately?
00:46:01.380 No.
00:46:02.860 Elon Musk
00:46:03.440 would say,
00:46:04.120 I don't think
00:46:04.880 that'll work
00:46:05.420 because of
00:46:05.860 the radiation.
00:46:07.500 But you
00:46:07.800 know what?
00:46:08.840 There are
00:46:09.280 some ideas
00:46:09.960 floating
00:46:10.380 around.
00:46:12.340 Maybe.
00:46:13.720 Now, that's
00:46:14.340 what I think
00:46:14.820 he'd say.
00:46:15.220 Obviously, I
00:46:15.780 can't predict
00:46:16.360 what somebody
00:46:17.120 who's smarter
00:46:17.620 than me would
00:46:18.180 say.
00:46:19.420 The dumbest
00:46:20.660 thing you
00:46:20.980 can do is
00:46:22.060 try to
00:46:22.400 predict what
00:46:23.020 someone who's
00:46:23.580 smarter than
00:46:24.160 you would
00:46:25.320 do in a
00:46:25.760 given situation.
00:46:27.120 So I can't
00:46:27.880 predict what
00:46:28.360 Elon Musk
00:46:28.880 could do.
00:46:29.300 Let's all
00:46:29.880 agree on
00:46:30.300 that.
00:46:31.020 But the
00:46:31.600 point is,
00:46:32.260 if you put
00:46:32.780 a creative
00:46:33.280 person in
00:46:34.520 the same
00:46:34.880 conversation,
00:46:36.020 suddenly it
00:46:36.720 turns into
00:46:37.140 a solution.
00:46:37.700 If you
00:46:39.720 put one
00:46:40.120 creative
00:46:40.500 person who
00:46:41.100 tosses
00:46:41.640 out an
00:46:41.980 idea and
00:46:42.960 the other
00:46:43.240 one is a
00:46:43.720 war general
00:46:44.300 whose job
00:46:45.380 is to make
00:46:45.840 sure you
00:46:46.140 don't get
00:46:46.460 too creative,
00:46:47.880 kind of use
00:46:48.960 the stuff
00:46:49.260 that works,
00:46:50.440 you get a
00:46:51.720 whole different
00:46:52.080 story.
00:46:52.380 Ontario, the
00:46:53.760 wait is over.
00:46:55.020 The gold
00:46:55.400 standard of
00:46:55.960 online casinos

00:48:05.980 You're richer
00:48:06.440 than you think.
00:48:11.640 All right.
00:48:13.600 So I like his,
00:48:15.440 I like Trump's
00:48:16.300 throwing out the
00:48:17.560 idea of paying
00:48:18.160 off the debt,
00:48:18.780 even though I
00:48:19.460 don't know any
00:48:19.960 way that it
00:48:20.380 could possibly
00:48:20.940 work.
00:48:22.760 Harris is going
00:48:23.340 to unveil her
00:48:23.840 own economic
00:48:24.440 policy this
00:48:26.320 week,
00:48:26.640 according to
00:48:27.140 Reuters.
00:48:29.740 Do you think
00:48:30.480 that's going to
00:48:31.020 help her or
00:48:31.680 hurt her?
00:48:34.140 Because I've got
00:48:35.000 a feeling that
00:48:35.940 Harris's economic
00:48:38.380 policy is going
00:48:39.440 to sound so much
00:48:40.500 like Trump's and
00:48:42.620 she's going to
00:48:43.060 have to leave
00:48:44.360 out reparations
00:48:45.520 and mass
00:48:48.700 transfers of
00:48:49.740 wealth from one
00:48:50.480 to the other.
00:48:51.440 I don't really
00:48:52.420 know where she's
00:48:53.200 going to land on
00:48:53.900 any of this,
00:48:54.880 but I don't think
00:48:55.900 it's going to
00:48:56.300 help.
00:48:58.080 It could be if
00:48:59.240 the fake news
00:49:00.100 gives it a big
00:49:00.720 boost and they'll
00:49:01.520 fawn over it.
00:49:02.480 That's enough
00:49:03.120 because most people
00:49:04.280 don't understand
00:49:05.020 economics.
00:49:05.700 If you knew
00:49:07.080 nothing about
00:49:07.660 economics and
00:49:08.400 you turned on
00:49:09.020 MSNBC and you
00:49:11.400 saw Joe
00:49:13.200 Scarborough talking
00:49:14.320 about Kamala
00:49:15.360 Harris's next
00:49:16.120 plan, well, it
00:49:18.220 would look like
00:49:18.940 Jeffrey Toobin on
00:49:20.180 the Zoom call,
00:49:21.440 except that he
00:49:22.280 would be screaming
00:49:23.700 in more
00:49:24.860 complimentary terms
00:49:26.340 about this
00:49:26.980 economic policy.
00:49:28.800 And so you're
00:49:29.460 just flipping through
00:49:30.200 the channels and
00:49:30.840 you see Scarborough,
00:49:31.980 oh, oh, it's the
00:49:33.300 best economic
00:49:33.800 plan.
00:49:34.580 Oh, oh, I've
00:49:35.600 never seen
00:49:35.960 anything like
00:49:36.460 this.
00:49:38.640 You're going to
00:49:39.200 say to yourself,
00:49:40.020 well, he probably
00:49:41.060 looked into it.
00:49:42.880 I mean, he seems
00:49:43.500 to like it and
00:49:44.700 these other people
00:49:45.360 on this show
00:49:46.620 that I think is
00:49:47.300 news seem to
00:49:47.980 like it.
00:49:49.400 So it could be
00:49:50.380 that all they
00:49:51.000 need is some
00:49:51.900 fodder for the
00:49:52.800 fake news to
00:49:53.600 sell.
00:49:54.280 It doesn't matter
00:49:55.200 if it's good or
00:49:55.880 bad or indifferent
00:49:56.560 because the public
00:49:57.300 can't tell the
00:49:57.940 difference between
00:49:58.560 a good idea and
00:49:59.220 a bad idea.
00:50:00.540 They're going to
00:50:00.880 have lots of
00:50:01.400 stuff on tariffs.
00:50:03.480 Oh, here's the
00:50:04.240 awkward part.
00:50:05.600 Trump, I
00:50:07.700 think, does a
00:50:08.240 bad job of
00:50:09.660 explaining tariffs.
00:50:13.060 But it is
00:50:13.920 true that both
00:50:14.800 Democrats and
00:50:15.620 Republicans keep
00:50:16.960 tariffs in place
00:50:18.020 when it makes
00:50:19.000 sense and they
00:50:20.320 don't do tariffs
00:50:21.140 when it doesn't
00:50:22.060 make sense.
00:50:22.620 And what both
00:50:24.720 of them try to
00:50:25.320 sell is that
00:50:27.160 it makes sense
00:50:28.680 what Trump
00:50:29.300 would say and
00:50:30.300 then the other
00:50:30.720 team says but
00:50:32.180 it doesn't make
00:50:32.780 sense if you use
00:50:33.620 it in these
00:50:34.000 other contexts
00:50:34.740 which he's not
00:50:35.420 using it.
00:50:36.780 So the time to
00:50:37.440 use a tariff is
00:50:38.460 when you're
00:50:38.840 protecting your
00:50:39.500 whole market from
00:50:40.940 an attack from
00:50:41.760 another country
00:50:42.480 where they're
00:50:43.440 artificially lowering
00:50:44.440 their prices and
00:50:45.500 the government is
00:50:46.160 supporting them in
00:50:46.920 the other country
00:50:47.540 so that they come
00:50:48.720 in and basically
00:50:49.480 bankrupt all the
00:50:50.420 American companies in
00:50:51.480 that business.
00:50:52.940 We don't want
00:50:53.800 that.
00:50:55.420 That's not exactly
00:50:56.560 fair competition.
00:50:58.260 If the only thing
00:50:59.200 that's happening is
00:50:59.920 we're competing,
00:51:00.760 they're competing,
00:51:01.440 but theirs is a
00:51:02.060 little cheaper,
00:51:04.120 well, maybe the
00:51:05.180 tariff doesn't make
00:51:05.860 sense in that case.
00:51:07.620 But what's
00:51:09.180 Harris going to do?
00:51:10.140 The Biden
00:51:10.900 administration has
00:51:11.880 tariffs in place
00:51:12.880 which were Trump's
00:51:14.440 tariffs and they
00:51:16.040 could take them
00:51:17.080 off anytime they
00:51:17.840 wanted.
00:51:18.520 The reason they
00:51:19.200 don't take them
00:51:19.840 off is that they
00:51:21.360 agree with tariffs.
00:51:23.460 Indeed, I think
00:51:24.540 pretty much all
00:51:25.820 economists agree
00:51:26.700 with them if the
00:51:28.180 context is protecting
00:51:29.400 an entire market.
00:51:31.780 And then I think
00:51:32.420 most economists
00:51:33.140 would disagree if
00:51:35.060 you're just
00:51:35.440 throwing a tariff
00:51:37.120 on for no reason.
00:51:38.260 I think they
00:51:38.620 disagree with that,
00:51:39.620 but we're not
00:51:40.040 doing that.
00:51:42.860 So, anyway, I
00:51:45.700 think the Harris
00:51:47.300 economic plan is
00:51:48.400 going to be a
00:51:48.940 study in fake
00:51:50.660 news.
00:51:51.500 The fake news is
00:51:52.800 really going to
00:51:53.660 have a hard time
00:51:54.480 hiding the fact
00:51:56.260 that she's copying
00:51:57.520 Trump on everything
00:51:58.400 that matters and
00:52:00.320 the things that
00:52:00.920 where she's not
00:52:01.520 copying him are
00:52:02.760 never going to
00:52:03.300 happen.
00:52:06.240 But that might be
00:52:07.380 enough because if
00:52:08.840 people like Trump's
00:52:09.840 economic policies and
00:52:11.840 then she seems to
00:52:13.240 be triangulating
00:52:15.040 more toward them,
00:52:16.520 that might be enough
00:52:18.060 for some normal
00:52:19.140 Democrats to say,
00:52:20.220 well, I was
00:52:21.140 worried that she
00:52:21.780 might be a
00:52:22.420 communist, but
00:52:23.940 that looks pretty
00:52:24.620 capitalist, so
00:52:25.820 good enough.
00:52:27.440 So it's really
00:52:28.080 hard to predict
00:52:28.660 this one.
00:52:29.120 It could go
00:52:29.560 either way.
00:52:30.860 Her polling
00:52:31.500 could drop or
00:52:32.560 climb.
00:52:33.820 Well, meanwhile,
00:52:34.600 Israel is
00:52:37.160 attacking Lebanon
00:52:37.940 like crazy.
00:52:39.180 I heard a number
00:52:40.060 over 100 killed,
00:52:41.800 maybe up to 200
00:52:42.900 by now.
00:52:44.800 400 wounded,
00:52:46.140 more by now.
00:52:46.800 300 targets and
00:52:48.080 more by now
00:52:48.800 because it's just
00:52:49.700 this morning.
00:52:51.280 And the fighting
00:52:52.140 continues.
00:52:53.020 But of course,
00:52:54.140 you know that
00:52:54.800 Israel blew up
00:52:56.600 the pagers and
00:52:57.520 the walkie-talkies
00:52:58.800 of the Hezbollah
00:53:00.040 fighters, which is
00:53:01.780 making the Iran
00:53:02.800 Islamic Revolutionary
00:53:04.260 Guard.
00:53:04.960 They've all been
00:53:05.540 ordered to stop
00:53:07.140 using all their
00:53:08.020 personal communication
00:53:09.100 devices, including
00:53:10.660 cell phones,
00:53:11.320 radios, and
00:53:11.820 pagers.
00:53:12.140 So that
00:53:16.240 would make
00:53:16.680 Iran unusually
00:53:18.400 susceptible to
00:53:20.000 attack because
00:53:21.960 their military,
00:53:23.040 at least the part
00:53:23.720 of the military
00:53:24.180 they trust the
00:53:24.900 most, wouldn't
00:53:26.120 be able to
00:53:27.560 communicate
00:53:27.980 effectively.
00:53:30.420 So,
00:53:31.140 so,
00:53:33.840 anyway,
00:53:34.860 we'll keep an
00:53:35.660 eye on that.
00:53:37.160 Apparently,
00:53:38.000 two more
00:53:38.460 Hezbollah
00:53:38.900 leaders were
00:53:39.540 killed in
00:53:40.760 Lebanon by
00:53:41.520 Israel.
00:53:43.220 I don't know
00:53:43.940 how many
00:53:44.140 leaders they
00:53:44.820 have in
00:53:45.180 Hezbollah,
00:53:45.680 but there are
00:53:46.360 a lot less
00:53:46.800 of them now.
00:53:48.340 And it makes
00:53:49.460 me wonder if
00:53:51.100 what's happening
00:53:51.720 is that since
00:53:53.440 it's impossible
00:53:54.160 in the modern
00:53:54.800 world not to
00:53:55.580 turn on your
00:53:56.060 cell phone,
00:53:56.920 I feel like
00:53:58.060 they're just
00:53:58.460 people that
00:54:00.320 would be in
00:54:00.760 the general
00:54:01.500 circle of
00:54:02.440 these leaders
00:54:03.080 who probably
00:54:03.700 do not use
00:54:04.380 cell phones,
00:54:05.180 but that the
00:54:06.220 people in their
00:54:06.840 circle may have
00:54:07.740 just turned it
00:54:09.300 on for five
00:54:09.920 minutes.
00:54:10.260 Like,
00:54:11.640 I'd love to
00:54:12.120 know the
00:54:12.440 details,
00:54:13.520 but I'll bet
00:54:14.160 they're still
00:54:14.540 getting them
00:54:15.020 through electronic
00:54:15.920 signal,
00:54:17.720 you know,
00:54:18.380 following.
00:54:19.460 It could be
00:54:20.640 that they've
00:54:21.680 penetrated so
00:54:22.760 well that they
00:54:23.420 have, you
00:54:24.000 know,
00:54:24.160 informants
00:54:24.740 everywhere,
00:54:25.520 so it might
00:54:26.280 be partly
00:54:26.700 that.
00:54:27.480 But I feel
00:54:27.980 like it's
00:54:28.720 just lower
00:54:30.280 level people
00:54:30.980 who turned
00:54:31.380 on the phone
00:54:31.960 for five
00:54:32.420 minutes because
00:54:32.900 they couldn't
00:54:33.300 stand not
00:54:34.100 having it,
00:54:34.940 and then they
00:54:36.240 just bombed the
00:54:36.980 house where
00:54:37.400 that person
00:54:37.880 was,
00:54:38.180 I think.
00:54:41.920 Harris allegedly
00:54:42.820 wants another
00:54:43.460 debate with
00:54:44.200 Trump,
00:54:44.740 which is probably
00:54:45.900 a smart thing
00:54:46.540 to say because
00:54:47.340 it sounds smart
00:54:48.220 and it reinforces
00:54:49.780 that people
00:54:50.460 thought she did
00:54:51.040 well in the
00:54:51.540 last one.
00:54:52.480 But she knows
00:54:53.640 that it's not
00:54:54.020 going to happen
00:54:54.500 because he's not
00:54:55.300 going to do
00:54:55.640 another rigged
00:54:56.360 debate,
00:54:57.040 and she's not
00:54:58.020 going to go on
00:54:58.540 Fox News because
00:54:59.620 she would feel
00:55:00.140 that would be
00:55:00.540 rigged the other
00:55:01.080 way.
00:55:01.840 So it's easy to
00:55:03.940 say when you
00:55:04.460 know it's not
00:55:04.920 going to happen,
00:55:05.880 and Trump would
00:55:06.560 be crazy to do
00:55:07.500 it, actually.
00:55:10.620 Well, you
00:55:11.700 heard that
00:55:12.140 Usher,
00:55:13.060 whose name is
00:55:15.000 getting dragged
00:55:15.580 into this P.
00:55:16.600 Diddy situation.
00:55:17.620 When he was
00:55:18.060 13 years old,
00:55:19.240 he stayed with
00:55:19.840 P.
00:55:20.120 Diddy and
00:55:21.360 learned to
00:55:23.140 party, and we
00:55:23.740 don't know what
00:55:24.140 else he learned,
00:55:24.880 but there are
00:55:25.740 rumors of
00:55:26.360 horrible, horrible
00:55:27.020 things that
00:55:27.560 happened.
00:55:28.740 And then
00:55:29.300 Usher, his
00:55:31.540 ex-account, all
00:55:32.720 of his posts
00:55:33.320 were removed,
00:55:34.480 and everybody
00:55:35.320 said, oh, no,
00:55:36.040 he must be
00:55:36.640 trying to
00:55:37.920 hide his
00:55:38.740 past connections
00:55:40.040 with Diddy or
00:55:40.880 something like
00:55:41.400 that.
00:55:42.360 And then
00:55:42.820 Usher stated
00:55:43.960 today that he
00:55:44.780 got hacked,
00:55:46.060 and you
00:55:46.800 shouldn't have
00:55:47.240 believed all
00:55:48.940 the news, it
00:55:49.740 was all fake,
00:55:50.860 and that
00:55:51.360 somebody hacked
00:55:52.080 him to delete
00:55:52.820 all of his
00:55:53.360 posts.
00:55:55.760 So does
00:55:57.340 that sound
00:55:58.060 like something
00:55:58.960 that really
00:55:59.440 happened?
00:56:01.900 I'm going to
00:56:02.600 say no.
00:56:03.060 I'm going to
00:56:06.060 say, no, I
00:56:08.620 don't think he
00:56:09.120 got hacked.
00:56:10.380 I mean, it's
00:56:10.840 possible.
00:56:12.620 I would just
00:56:13.160 say that if
00:56:14.060 you're going to
00:56:14.340 play the odds
00:56:15.180 that when a
00:56:16.660 celebrity says
00:56:18.260 they were hacked
00:56:18.860 on social media,
00:56:20.760 I don't know how
00:56:22.100 often that's real.
00:56:23.460 By the way, I'm
00:56:24.240 setting myself up
00:56:25.140 now, because if
00:56:26.400 somebody hacks me
00:56:27.160 and does
00:56:27.500 something, I'm
00:56:28.460 telling you right
00:56:29.020 now, it
00:56:30.300 wasn't me.
00:56:30.800 So if I get
00:56:34.200 hacked, I'm
00:56:34.680 going to change
00:56:35.200 my story
00:56:35.700 entirely.
00:56:38.400 Anyway, keep
00:56:39.800 an eye on
00:56:40.240 that.
00:56:41.600 You know
00:56:41.960 that story
00:56:42.460 about
00:56:42.900 journalist
00:56:44.620 Olivia Nuzzi,
00:56:45.760 who allegedly
00:56:46.940 started out as
00:56:48.880 saying she had
00:56:49.340 an affair with
00:56:49.980 RFK after
00:56:51.600 interviewing him,
00:56:53.000 and then it
00:56:53.660 turned out,
00:56:54.180 well, no, not
00:56:54.880 an affair, not
00:56:55.700 like a physical
00:56:56.560 affair, but
00:56:57.720 more like they
00:56:58.440 were sexting
00:57:00.200 each other.
00:57:01.820 And then it
00:57:02.200 turned into,
00:57:03.060 well, okay, it
00:57:04.380 wasn't so much
00:57:05.060 that they were
00:57:05.600 sexting each
00:57:06.380 other, is that
00:57:07.780 she was
00:57:08.360 sending
00:57:09.160 increasingly
00:57:11.700 pornographic,
00:57:12.680 say, RFK
00:57:13.540 Jr.'s lawyer,
00:57:14.560 increasingly
00:57:15.140 pornographic
00:57:15.900 messages.
00:57:16.980 He tried to
00:57:17.740 block her a few
00:57:18.480 times.
00:57:19.040 She found
00:57:19.480 other people's
00:57:20.500 accounts that
00:57:21.160 she could reach
00:57:21.740 him.
00:57:22.280 She convinced
00:57:22.940 him to
00:57:23.300 unblock her
00:57:23.920 because she
00:57:24.360 had important
00:57:24.960 information, but
00:57:26.420 that was a
00:57:26.820 lie, just to
00:57:27.760 unblock him so
00:57:28.460 she could flirt
00:57:28.960 with him some
00:57:29.480 more.
00:57:30.460 Now, I
00:57:31.700 think there's
00:57:32.240 some passing
00:57:34.260 reference to
00:57:34.940 the fact that
00:57:35.680 when he was
00:57:36.500 sent pornographic
00:57:37.340 images, he
00:57:38.840 found it hard
00:57:39.740 to stop it
00:57:41.140 right away.
00:57:44.980 To which I
00:57:45.840 say, well, I
00:57:47.300 really have to
00:57:48.040 see the
00:57:48.540 messages.
00:57:49.840 For me to
00:57:50.580 have an
00:57:51.180 informed opinion,
00:57:52.640 if I looked at
00:57:53.660 the messages and
00:57:54.460 I said to
00:57:54.920 myself, oh, he
00:57:56.060 was all in,
00:57:57.540 well, that
00:57:57.920 would look one
00:57:58.460 way, and if
00:57:59.580 I saw the
00:58:00.060 messages and
00:58:00.840 I said, oh,
00:58:02.660 it looks like
00:58:03.240 he's trying to
00:58:04.140 just be polite,
00:58:05.520 but she's
00:58:06.740 taking it as
00:58:07.420 more than
00:58:07.800 that, and
00:58:08.260 now she's
00:58:08.720 upping the
00:58:09.200 game, and
00:58:09.760 he's, again,
00:58:10.960 just trying to
00:58:11.460 be polite,
00:58:13.220 not insult her
00:58:14.320 or anything,
00:58:14.760 not make it a
00:58:15.340 scene, just
00:58:16.420 be a friendly,
00:58:18.000 polite answer,
00:58:19.140 maybe she took
00:58:20.120 it as more.
00:58:21.800 So I'm going
00:58:22.640 to say I'm
00:58:23.100 not going to
00:58:23.500 believe anything
00:58:24.480 about the
00:58:25.180 characterization
00:58:25.840 of the
00:58:26.720 messages,
00:58:27.160 because that's
00:58:28.880 not a category
00:58:29.660 that would be
00:58:30.300 credible in
00:58:31.460 this conversation.
00:58:33.560 Don't believe
00:58:34.300 anything that
00:58:35.780 somebody tells
00:58:36.440 you about what
00:58:37.080 somebody else
00:58:37.800 messaged to
00:58:38.680 somebody else.
00:58:39.540 You should not
00:58:40.520 believe any of
00:58:41.500 that.
00:58:42.260 If you see
00:58:42.980 it, even
00:58:44.220 then it might
00:58:44.720 be on a
00:58:45.080 context, so be
00:58:45.920 careful, but if
00:58:47.040 somebody's telling
00:58:47.880 you and
00:58:48.560 characterizing what
00:58:49.480 somebody else
00:58:50.100 said, don't
00:58:51.720 believe any of
00:58:52.420 it, there's
00:58:53.020 no evidentiary
00:58:54.320 value whatsoever.
00:58:56.300 Now, to that
00:58:57.180 point, the
00:58:59.120 news says that
00:59:00.120 RFK Jr.
00:59:00.860 might be looking
00:59:01.460 into a possible
00:59:02.280 lawsuit against
00:59:04.120 her, which would
00:59:05.380 be useful, I
00:59:06.480 would think, if
00:59:08.040 he really wants
00:59:08.720 to make the
00:59:09.260 case that this
00:59:10.060 was her coming
00:59:11.880 after him and
00:59:12.780 not anything
00:59:13.620 mutual.
00:59:14.760 So I don't
00:59:15.740 know if it's a
00:59:16.380 good idea.
00:59:17.140 I can't imagine
00:59:18.240 he'd win the
00:59:19.000 lawsuit, but it
00:59:20.400 might be a good
00:59:20.920 strategy to
00:59:22.280 frame it as
00:59:23.260 a victim and
00:59:24.260 victimizer instead
00:59:25.460 of two people
00:59:26.200 on the same
00:59:26.660 page.
00:59:30.980 Anyway, can
00:59:33.720 you imagine
00:59:34.200 how many
00:59:34.660 people hit
00:59:35.320 on that
00:59:35.660 guy?
00:59:37.320 Like, probably
00:59:38.100 everywhere he
00:59:38.840 goes, he gets
00:59:39.380 hit on by
00:59:39.900 women just
00:59:40.540 continuously, even
00:59:42.580 at his current
00:59:43.140 age.
00:59:44.500 Anyway, Wall
00:59:45.160 Street Journal
00:59:45.560 says that, did
00:59:46.860 you know that
00:59:47.380 China is way
00:59:48.120 ahead of us in
00:59:48.800 shipbuilding,
00:59:49.820 which is bad
00:59:50.600 because those
00:59:51.100 ships are
00:59:51.480 military ships.
00:59:52.920 So now China
00:59:53.900 actually has more
00:59:54.780 military ships.
00:59:56.200 I've heard other
00:59:56.820 people say you
00:59:58.440 can't know
00:59:59.400 anything by
00:59:59.920 counting the
01:00:00.580 number of
01:00:00.980 warships, because
01:00:02.980 apparently our
01:00:03.860 Navy capabilities
01:00:06.820 are far beyond
01:00:08.100 what they have in
01:00:08.840 their ships.
01:00:09.500 They just have a
01:00:10.040 lot of them.
01:00:11.600 I don't know.
01:00:12.660 I'm not sure if
01:00:13.260 that's true.
01:00:13.960 It's just
01:00:14.400 something I saw
01:00:15.020 in the news.
01:00:16.440 But apparently
01:00:17.620 the U.S.
01:00:18.780 is trying to
01:00:19.240 compensate by
01:00:20.020 getting South
01:00:20.700 Korea, given
01:00:22.220 that they're good
01:00:22.880 allies of us and
01:00:23.980 they have a
01:00:24.420 really strong
01:00:25.080 shipbuilding
01:00:25.780 industry, as
01:00:27.660 does Japan,
01:00:28.940 that we're
01:00:29.560 trying to get
01:00:30.060 them to help
01:00:30.560 us build our
01:00:31.680 military stuff.
01:00:34.500 That sounds
01:00:35.260 like a good
01:00:35.720 short-term idea.
01:00:38.460 It does seem
01:00:39.400 to me that the
01:00:40.100 robots need to
01:00:40.840 build those
01:00:41.420 warships or we
01:00:42.640 need to build
01:00:43.480 drones.
01:00:44.740 I think I saw
01:00:45.500 a headline that
01:00:46.340 Putin is trying
01:00:48.220 to increase his
01:00:49.080 drone production
01:00:50.900 by 10 times.
01:00:52.960 It's just going
01:00:53.980 to be drones.
01:00:56.100 To me, I'm
01:00:58.260 always curious
01:00:59.080 how a naval
01:01:02.160 battleship can
01:01:03.620 survive any
01:01:04.380 battle.
01:01:06.080 It seems to
01:01:06.900 me that the
01:01:07.320 ability to
01:01:08.560 destroy a
01:01:09.380 ship that's
01:01:10.300 sitting out
01:01:10.760 there like in
01:01:11.360 this big ocean,
01:01:12.640 even though they
01:01:13.320 have, you know,
01:01:14.240 I know they have
01:01:14.700 defensive battle
01:01:15.560 groups around a
01:01:16.280 battleship, for
01:01:16.840 example, but
01:01:17.900 around a
01:01:18.760 aircraft carrier
01:01:19.720 that have lots
01:01:20.380 of support
01:01:20.880 ships to shoot
01:01:21.680 things down
01:01:22.180 before it got
01:01:22.720 there.
01:01:23.460 But even with
01:01:24.340 that, it's
01:01:25.540 hard for me to
01:01:26.180 imagine that a
01:01:27.440 superpower couldn't
01:01:28.400 take out 100% of
01:01:29.620 the ships of any
01:01:30.420 other side.
01:01:31.760 So I feel as
01:01:32.780 though every
01:01:33.520 surface ship
01:01:34.520 would be
01:01:34.920 destroyed within
01:01:36.520 an hour of a
01:01:37.880 real war with
01:01:38.780 China or
01:01:40.300 Russia, which
01:01:42.320 is yet another
01:01:43.080 reason we're not
01:01:43.720 going to do
01:01:44.080 it.
01:01:44.360 We're not
01:01:44.720 going to get
01:01:45.060 in a real
01:01:45.460 war with
01:01:45.860 them.
01:01:46.480 It would be
01:01:46.740 dumb.
01:01:49.600 Anyway, so
01:01:50.280 South Korea to
01:01:51.060 the rescue,
01:01:52.220 maybe.
01:01:53.520 According to
01:01:54.080 Just the
01:01:54.620 News, there's
01:01:56.300 an effort to
01:01:57.260 train judges
01:01:58.200 on climate
01:02:00.160 change.
01:02:01.360 So if you're a
01:02:02.040 judge, you know
01:02:02.600 about the law,
01:02:03.320 but you don't
01:02:03.720 know as much
01:02:04.200 about science,
01:02:05.040 and then a lot
01:02:05.560 of lawsuits come
01:02:06.380 in about CO2
01:02:08.200 usage and climate
01:02:09.620 change, and then
01:02:10.340 you've got to be
01:02:10.740 educated.
01:02:11.100 So they're
01:02:12.060 educating them
01:02:12.800 in advance so
01:02:14.440 they know enough
01:02:15.120 about climate
01:02:15.640 change to be
01:02:16.440 good judges.
01:02:17.780 Does that sound
01:02:18.640 like a good
01:02:19.140 idea to you?
01:02:21.380 Do you think
01:02:22.080 these judges are
01:02:23.020 going to get
01:02:23.520 the whole
01:02:25.040 picture?
01:02:25.960 Do you think
01:02:26.580 that when somebody
01:02:27.260 teaches them about
01:02:28.240 climate models,
01:02:29.560 they're going to
01:02:30.780 tell them, well,
01:02:32.200 you know, most of
01:02:32.960 the scientists think
01:02:33.840 these are good, but
01:02:35.000 there's an argument
01:02:35.800 against them, and it
01:02:36.640 goes like this?
01:02:38.120 Or are they just
01:02:38.980 going to say all
01:02:39.520 the climate models
01:02:40.280 say we're in
01:02:40.720 trouble, so we're
01:02:41.340 in trouble?
01:02:43.460 I feel like this
01:02:45.620 is so illegitimate
01:02:48.100 and unethical that
01:02:50.240 it should be
01:02:50.880 illegal to educate
01:02:53.060 judges when really
01:02:54.400 what you're doing
01:02:54.900 is brainwashing
01:02:55.740 them.
01:02:56.720 Is it legal to
01:02:57.780 brainwash a judge,
01:03:00.700 especially if they
01:03:01.820 don't know they're
01:03:02.360 being brainwashed,
01:03:03.140 they think they're
01:03:03.660 being educated?
01:03:05.140 It should be.
01:03:06.100 Am I wrong?
01:03:08.240 It should be.
01:03:09.720 You know, even if
01:03:10.380 there's not a
01:03:10.920 specific case that's
01:03:12.280 brewing, even in
01:03:13.980 general, it should be
01:03:15.400 illegal to brainwash a
01:03:16.760 judge so that you
01:03:18.460 can win future cases.
01:03:21.480 Seems to me.
01:03:23.280 But I don't know.
01:03:25.360 I'm no lawyer.
01:03:28.780 Well, you know, as
01:03:29.860 you know, that SAVE
01:03:30.840 Act did not pass in
01:03:32.420 Congress.
01:03:33.040 The SAVE Act was
01:03:34.220 the one that would
01:03:34.920 say you can't vote,
01:03:36.100 vote in any state
01:03:37.520 unless you've proven
01:03:38.540 you're a citizen.
01:03:40.020 Now, why did
01:03:40.680 Democrats, and it
01:03:41.580 was only Democrats,
01:03:43.180 vote enough to not
01:03:45.080 do that?
01:03:46.240 What would be the
01:03:47.040 reason you wouldn't
01:03:48.660 want to need to know
01:03:50.140 if the voters are
01:03:51.500 citizens?
01:03:52.840 I can't think of
01:03:53.800 one.
01:03:55.140 Not a legitimate
01:03:56.060 one.
01:03:56.860 The only reason I
01:03:57.660 can think of is it
01:03:58.580 makes it easier to
01:03:59.900 cheat.
01:04:00.180 And when they give
01:04:02.680 legitimate answers, it's
01:04:03.860 stuff like, well, you
01:04:05.480 know, we don't want to
01:04:06.420 disenfranchise people
01:04:07.900 who don't have ID but
01:04:10.780 really want to vote.
01:04:12.280 To which I say the same
01:04:13.960 thing you say.
01:04:15.380 All right.
01:04:16.480 Let's compare the data to
01:04:18.420 the anecdotal experience.
01:04:21.240 Again, anecdote doesn't
01:04:22.600 mean that that part's
01:04:23.860 right.
01:04:24.160 But if they're
01:04:25.420 different, that should
01:04:27.880 raise the flag.
01:04:29.300 So let's see.
01:04:30.420 The experts on the
01:04:31.500 Democrat side say that
01:04:33.080 there's some big
01:04:34.880 problem with people
01:04:36.380 who don't have ID but
01:04:38.100 definitely want to vote.
01:04:40.520 And yet, we've never
01:04:42.500 found one.
01:04:44.560 Nor have we ever found
01:04:46.120 anybody who knew one.
01:04:48.400 Think about that.
01:04:50.080 It would be hard to
01:04:50.840 find one.
01:04:52.260 But you could find
01:04:53.380 somebody who knows
01:04:54.080 one.
01:04:54.920 So take anything else
01:04:56.260 in the world that
01:04:57.340 you've ever heard
01:04:57.900 about.
01:04:59.200 Have you ever tried to
01:05:02.940 do autoerotic
01:05:04.320 asphyxiation yourself?
01:05:06.520 No?
01:05:07.440 Have you ever heard of
01:05:08.600 anybody who did?
01:05:09.980 Yes, you have.
01:05:11.720 Yeah, you have actual
01:05:12.720 names of real people.
01:05:15.320 How about, do you know
01:05:17.400 anybody personally who
01:05:19.720 ever died in a
01:05:20.780 parachuting accident?
01:05:22.880 Probably not.
01:05:24.080 But I do.
01:05:25.400 I know somebody
01:05:26.200 personally who died in a
01:05:27.280 parachuting accident.
01:05:28.600 And you know me.
01:05:30.800 So, you know, you could
01:05:33.000 reasonably guess if you've
01:05:35.340 watched me enough that I
01:05:36.540 wouldn't make that up.
01:05:37.920 That'd be a dumb thing to
01:05:39.120 just make up.
01:05:40.000 So there's evidence that
01:05:41.560 people die in parachute
01:05:42.520 accidents, parachuting.
01:05:43.960 And in fact, almost
01:05:46.680 anything that you could think
01:05:48.380 of that's ever been
01:05:49.920 mentioned or you've been
01:05:52.040 told exists, you could
01:05:54.240 either find it in your own
01:05:55.420 life or you know of
01:05:58.120 somebody who knows about it.
01:05:59.880 Right?
01:06:00.020 But I don't know anybody who
01:06:04.900 knows anybody who knows
01:06:06.080 anybody who had ever found
01:06:08.140 anybody who wanted to vote
01:06:09.840 and couldn't figure out how to
01:06:10.800 get an ID.
01:06:12.280 Not anybody.
01:06:13.500 Not anybody who knows
01:06:14.900 anybody who knows anybody.
01:06:16.240 Not a Kevin Bacon situation,
01:06:18.840 six degrees of separation.
01:06:20.540 Not anything.
01:06:21.320 And again, I tell you that I
01:06:24.620 only have to go one degree
01:06:25.760 of separation to identify
01:06:27.260 everything I've ever heard
01:06:28.660 of about murder with a gun.
01:06:32.660 Well, I don't think I know
01:06:35.240 anybody who personally
01:06:37.100 murdered with a gun, but I
01:06:39.120 definitely know people who
01:06:40.160 know people who were murdered
01:06:41.020 with a gun.
01:06:42.080 Right?
01:06:43.880 Everything has that quality.
01:06:46.000 You at least know somebody who
01:06:47.340 knows somebody, but not
01:06:49.020 anybody who wanted to vote
01:06:51.300 but couldn't get an ID.
01:06:52.640 Not one.
01:06:55.160 So, also, Alice Sharpton
01:07:01.600 on MSNBC and some of his
01:07:03.640 other cohorts were saying
01:07:05.900 it's terrible that Georgia
01:07:07.680 has decided, their election
01:07:09.140 board decided just recently,
01:07:11.260 that all of their voting
01:07:13.040 would be on hand-counted
01:07:15.520 ballots instead of using
01:07:16.900 machines.
01:07:17.420 And the MSNBC people want
01:07:21.460 you to know that there's
01:07:23.120 no way, you know, one of
01:07:25.100 their guests said, there's
01:07:26.200 no way they'll be able to
01:07:27.340 count 10 million votes.
01:07:29.220 How can you possibly do that?
01:07:31.760 To which I say, yeah, you can
01:07:33.920 do that.
01:07:35.120 Everybody knows you can do
01:07:36.260 that.
01:07:37.960 Every one of us knows they
01:07:40.220 can do that.
01:07:41.360 Will it be done that night?
01:07:43.260 It's not going to be done that
01:07:46.020 night, no matter how they do
01:07:47.460 it.
01:07:48.060 It doesn't matter how they do
01:07:49.460 it.
01:07:50.000 It's not going to be done that
01:07:51.280 night.
01:07:51.820 We know that.
01:07:53.340 So, why would you be
01:07:55.840 opposed
01:07:57.420 to the most
01:07:59.340 secure way of voting
01:08:01.040 and everybody knows it?
01:08:04.420 Everybody knows it's the most
01:08:05.780 secure way of voting.
01:08:06.640 Well, it's the same reason
01:08:08.520 you'd be opposed to the
01:08:09.680 SAFE Act.
01:08:11.420 The Democrats are
01:08:12.620 telegraphing their
01:08:13.920 intention to cheat
01:08:15.040 so clearly.
01:08:17.580 I've never seen
01:08:18.720 anybody so clearly
01:08:20.460 tell you they're going to
01:08:21.460 cheat.
01:08:22.400 But here's what it feels
01:08:23.200 like.
01:08:24.000 Hey, Scott,
01:08:25.340 I'll be robbing the bank
01:08:27.280 down on the corner
01:08:29.560 there on Friday.
01:08:32.220 And I'll say,
01:08:33.480 wait, what did you just
01:08:34.600 say?
01:08:34.840 I'll be robbing the bank
01:08:36.620 down in that corner there
01:08:38.440 by the gas station.
01:08:39.320 I'm going to rob that
01:08:40.060 on Friday.
01:08:42.440 And I'll say,
01:08:43.820 I feel like
01:08:45.580 maybe I should do
01:08:46.800 something about that.
01:08:49.620 They could not be telling
01:08:51.520 us more clearly
01:08:52.500 that they intend to cheat.
01:08:54.760 Now, I tell you all the
01:08:55.840 time that you can't read
01:08:57.660 people's minds,
01:08:58.760 but they have all the time
01:09:01.140 in the world to tell us
01:09:02.180 what their reasoning is.
01:09:04.840 And their reasoning is so
01:09:06.200 patently stupid
01:09:07.740 that you don't have to
01:09:09.380 wonder if those are real
01:09:10.400 reasons.
01:09:11.260 Of course,
01:09:12.160 they're not real reasons.
01:09:14.100 So, yes,
01:09:15.320 they are telling us as
01:09:16.640 clearly as you possibly
01:09:17.920 can that they hope
01:09:19.760 and plan to cheat
01:09:21.200 like crazy.
01:09:24.060 So,
01:09:24.720 there it is.
01:09:27.460 Ladies and gentlemen,
01:09:28.580 this concludes my prepared
01:09:30.120 remarks for today.
01:09:31.400 I'm going to go talk to
01:09:32.920 the people on Locals
01:09:34.300 privately,
01:09:35.220 but I remind you that
01:09:36.240 the Dilber 2025
01:09:37.180 desk calendar,
01:09:38.740 the page a day,
01:09:39.860 is back.
01:09:41.560 But you can only get it
01:09:43.240 at the link
01:09:44.540 at Dilber.com.
01:09:46.140 It is not going to be
01:09:47.420 available on Amazon
01:09:48.280 and not going to be
01:09:49.840 available in regular stores.
01:09:51.740 And that was the way
01:09:52.740 I could do it
01:09:53.440 to have it made in America.
01:09:55.220 Longer story.
01:09:56.360 But if you have it made
01:09:57.060 in America,
01:09:57.480 it's prohibitively
01:09:59.460 expensive
01:09:59.940 unless you cut out
01:10:01.940 all the middlemen.
01:10:03.960 So, that's what
01:10:04.740 I had to do.
01:10:06.160 So,
01:10:06.860 and if shipping
01:10:07.820 looks expensive,
01:10:08.820 which it is,
01:10:10.200 then buy more than one
01:10:11.620 and your shipping costs
01:10:12.620 will look pretty
01:10:13.260 reasonable after that
01:10:14.500 because you know
01:10:15.400 you want some for gifts.
01:10:17.340 All right, everybody.
01:10:18.400 I'm going to go say hi
01:10:19.340 to the locals people
01:10:21.300 privately,
01:10:22.020 the rest of you.
01:10:23.200 Thanks for joining.
01:10:24.400 We'll be private
01:10:25.320 with locals
01:10:25.860 in 30 seconds.
01:10:27.480 Thank you.
