Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2607 CWSA 09⧸24⧸24

00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:05.360 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:10.080 Today with the Whiteboard, if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:19.640 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:00:25.320 fill it with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:31.020 the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:35.700 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:43.540 Oh, that was really good.

00:00:46.980 That was a good sip right there.

00:00:51.100 Well, good news, good news.

00:00:53.260 There's a revolutionary anti-aging therapy.

00:00:58.180 According to SciTech Daily, researchers at Duke and U.S. Medical School,

00:01:03.920 they figured out that interleukin-11 is very influential in your aging.

00:01:09.880 So if they can disarm this interleukin-11, which they think they can do,

00:01:14.740 you can live up to 25% longer.

00:01:16.940 Now, good luck feeding you, but there'll be lots of you.

00:01:24.300 Imagine if everybody just started living 25% longer.

00:01:28.340 I feel like that would destroy civilization.

00:01:32.180 Am I wrong about that?

00:01:33.480 Be careful what you ask for.

00:01:36.800 Yeah.

00:01:37.200 How would you feed them all?

00:01:38.620 Anyway, X is going to make a change that if you block somebody,

00:01:44.540 as I love to do, you'll still be able to see their content,

00:01:48.960 but they won't be able to interact with you, which works for me.

00:01:53.320 Now, I don't know if you have this experience on X, those of you who use it,

00:01:58.420 but there are lots of things that people repost,

00:02:04.140 and there'll be some message where I can't read it.

00:02:07.680 And it doesn't say I'm blocked.

00:02:10.000 It says something like the user limits who can see their posts

00:02:13.700 or something like that.

00:02:15.300 I don't even know what causes that.

00:02:17.280 But some large percentage of all the things that people send to me

00:02:22.300 and say, hey, look at this, I can't look at.

00:02:25.920 A large percentage, maybe 5%, but that's a lot.

00:02:29.920 So maybe that'll go away.

00:02:34.400 You know the story about the Biden administration

00:02:39.320 had that $42 billion set aside to build Internet access

00:02:43.460 to all the rural people, and time went by,

00:02:46.460 and nobody got hooked up, and you said to yourself,

00:02:49.540 why?

00:02:50.600 Why did nobody get hooked up?

00:02:52.700 And I always thought to myself

00:02:54.560 that the government funding of anything like this,

00:02:58.880 whether it's a local city or national or state issue,

00:03:03.260 I think that 100% of these are just corrupt.

00:03:07.240 And here's what I assume.

00:03:09.260 I assume that there are too many ways for a person in government

00:03:13.080 to make money for themselves,

00:03:15.200 even if it's just donations for the next race,

00:03:18.280 by deciding who gets what contracts.

00:03:22.280 Because if you've got billions of dollars to allocate,

00:03:26.200 don't you just find the friendliest person you can and say,

00:03:29.880 I get a deal for you.

00:03:31.480 We're going to give you a few billion dollars to do this work.

00:03:35.000 You'll be rich beyond any imagination.

00:03:38.360 But I am going to come and ask for some favors in return.

00:03:42.220 Perhaps you will make large donations to my campaign in the future.

00:03:45.920 Perhaps.

00:03:47.120 Perhaps.

00:03:47.680 Somebody that's in my family who's starting a company might need an investment

00:03:53.760 and that has nothing to do with me.

00:03:55.800 I mean, your investment arm might do whatever it wants to do

00:03:58.680 and might actually like that business that my cousin is working on.

00:04:02.340 So there are a million ways to do corrupt things

00:04:07.800 with gigantic amounts of money that the government has

00:04:10.340 to give to private citizens for various services.

00:04:14.400 I think our elected officials should not be in that business at all.

00:04:19.420 I think you have to remove the elected officials

00:04:22.680 from allocating large amounts of money.

00:04:26.180 I'm okay with them making laws.

00:04:28.140 Yes, you can still make laws because we can watch that happen.

00:04:32.320 If we don't like it, we'll vote against you.

00:04:35.100 But if you're moving gigantic amounts of money around

00:04:38.860 in sketchy ways where we can't really know

00:04:41.860 if you really pick somebody who is your brother-in-law,

00:04:44.960 you can't always know.

00:04:47.940 None of that works.

00:04:49.500 If you were to write down that system on paper and say,

00:04:52.420 all right, I'm going to design the system.

00:04:54.400 Here's the system.

00:04:55.140 We're going to have billions of dollars sloshing around

00:04:58.340 with nobody watching carefully.

00:05:00.260 And we'll have our elected officials decide

00:05:02.600 who wins the bids.

00:05:05.940 Who in the world?

00:05:08.280 Who in the world would have said that was a good idea?

00:05:12.080 The only thing I can think of for how we got to this place

00:05:16.020 is that when the founders who built the system,

00:05:19.380 there just wasn't that much money floating around.

00:05:22.360 So it wasn't like there were billions of dollars floating around

00:05:25.820 and it would be easy to make sure that you got a taste of it.

00:05:30.720 So maybe they just didn't think about it.

00:05:32.880 And you could tell where the money was being spent

00:05:35.400 just by looking.

00:05:38.040 Maybe it was just a simpler time.

00:05:40.120 But I think we somehow have to get out of our system entirely

00:05:43.280 that the people in charge get to make the decisions.

00:05:46.980 So what are some of the problems?

00:05:48.620 Well, some of the problems is they would spend too much

00:05:51.000 and there would be corruption.

00:05:52.600 Those are the obvious problems.

00:05:54.120 You want to hear another problem?

00:05:56.380 Well, according to several people,

00:06:03.400 including Commissioner Brendan Carr,

00:06:05.800 he said this was the worst abuse of agency process

00:06:10.380 I have seen in my 12 years of working at the FCC.

00:06:13.480 So I think the short version of this

00:06:16.180 is that the reason things were held up so long

00:06:19.300 to get that funding out and have it spent

00:06:24.040 so people could get internet in rural areas

00:06:26.220 is that they were kind of waiting

00:06:28.680 for their preferred Democrat vendor

00:06:31.320 to be ready to take the deal.

00:06:35.160 So I don't know the full details,

00:06:38.120 but it looks like it's exactly what you thought it was.

00:06:41.520 It wasn't incompetence.

00:06:44.540 It was waiting till they could give the money

00:06:46.860 to their preferred person.

00:06:50.060 So that's what it looks like.

00:06:52.500 So imagine the choices that the government had.

00:06:56.560 They could spend far less money

00:06:58.480 and be ready immediately

00:06:59.840 just by using Elon Musk's product.

00:07:03.220 But that would be giving these spare billions of dollars

00:07:06.520 that the government has sitting around

00:07:08.260 to the person who might spend them against them.

00:07:11.520 Because Elon Musk might be, you know,

00:07:14.340 if he has extra money,

00:07:15.540 maybe some of that's funding Republican-related stuff.

00:07:20.280 So at all expense,

00:07:23.180 no matter what happened to the citizens

00:07:25.040 who needed that internet,

00:07:26.940 the Democrats were still willing

00:07:28.580 to completely embarrass themselves

00:07:31.520 and do this criminality,

00:07:33.600 I call it criminal,

00:07:34.860 right in front of the whole country

00:07:36.400 as long as it was good for them.

00:07:38.400 And then they did.

00:07:40.840 And then people complained.

00:07:42.920 And then what did the public say?

00:07:44.420 Did the public rise up and say,

00:07:47.100 well, I'm trying to feed my family today,

00:07:49.180 but now you've brought up this issue

00:07:51.100 about the FCC's inefficient,

00:07:54.360 impossible, corrupt allocation of bids.

00:07:57.960 No, you don't care about that.

00:08:00.380 You'd have to be in the top 1% of 1% of people

00:08:03.760 who follow the news

00:08:04.720 even to care about that story.

00:08:07.180 Because, you know,

00:08:07.980 I got 50 stories that are, you know,

00:08:11.020 at least as interesting.

00:08:13.000 So we don't have a system

00:08:15.360 that even when this is uncovered

00:08:17.920 and made public and it's in the news,

00:08:20.780 nothing can really be done about it.

00:08:23.400 Because there's no correcting system.

00:08:26.500 Normally, the correcting system

00:08:28.020 would be you publish it,

00:08:29.400 you expose it,

00:08:30.720 and then somebody's going to have

00:08:31.700 to make a correction.

00:08:33.600 Nothing like that's happening.

00:08:36.180 There's a story,

00:08:37.280 there's an exposure,

00:08:38.720 seems pretty clear and obvious,

00:08:40.840 and, you know,

00:08:41.640 I don't even think there's any doubt

00:08:42.860 about what happened.

00:08:44.340 I'm not even sure anybody's arguing

00:08:46.120 the narrative here.

00:08:48.940 And it's just complicated

00:08:50.880 and it's one of many things.

00:08:52.580 So we're just going to ignore it.

00:08:57.260 So that's our system.

00:09:00.540 Anyway, so I would say

00:09:02.900 that one thing we need

00:09:04.280 more than just about anything

00:09:05.620 is destroying all of our cities,

00:09:07.700 is that the decision

00:09:09.360 of who gets the contracts

00:09:10.900 cannot be the elected officials.

00:09:13.840 They just can't have,

00:09:15.120 they can't touch it.

00:09:16.900 They need to be a full,

00:09:19.580 you know, what do we call it,

00:09:20.620 a Chinese wall.

00:09:21.320 I hope that's referring

00:09:24.320 to the gray wall of China

00:09:25.540 and not some racist trope

00:09:28.260 that I don't know I just used.

00:09:30.680 Is it racist to say a Chinese wall?

00:09:34.460 I don't know.

00:09:35.180 You can't say the virus

00:09:37.420 came from a Chinese lab.

00:09:40.800 Anyway, so here's another story

00:09:43.900 about our system.

00:09:45.320 So according to phys.org,

00:09:50.040 there are some robots.

00:09:52.000 They got some robots

00:09:52.800 that are measuring

00:09:53.340 the temperature of the deep ocean.

00:09:56.220 And it's the deep Argo floats.

00:09:59.220 And they went in

00:10:01.020 and they collected

00:10:01.780 a bunch of data

00:10:02.700 about the ocean.

00:10:03.760 And then they compared it

00:10:05.260 to other temperature stuff

00:10:09.660 that they did

00:10:10.240 without these robots.

00:10:11.340 So surface temperatures

00:10:13.440 and other measures.

00:10:14.900 And they decided

00:10:15.960 that the ocean

00:10:17.060 is getting warmer.

00:10:20.040 What do you think

00:10:20.900 I'm going to say

00:10:21.480 about this story?

00:10:22.780 Do you know me

00:10:23.700 well enough by now?

00:10:27.400 Let me just say

00:10:29.000 the most confident thing

00:10:30.800 I could ever say.

00:10:33.440 We can't measure

00:10:34.620 the temperature of the ocean.

00:10:35.780 You all know that, right?

00:10:39.180 So here's a story

00:10:40.300 telling us

00:10:40.840 that they've got this robot

00:10:41.960 and it's measuring

00:10:43.480 the temperature of the ocean.

00:10:45.660 Well, I'm sure it got data

00:10:47.340 and I don't even doubt

00:10:49.500 the accuracy

00:10:50.480 of its measurement devices.

00:10:54.160 But how much of the ocean

00:10:56.560 do you think they measured?

00:10:59.440 I mean, just ask yourself,

00:11:01.340 how much did they measure?

00:11:03.760 And I don't know

00:11:04.720 if you know this,

00:11:06.480 this may come

00:11:07.260 as a shock to you,

00:11:08.100 but the ocean

00:11:09.160 doesn't have walls.

00:11:11.600 I mean, you know,

00:11:12.740 out in the middle

00:11:13.540 of the ocean,

00:11:14.280 there are no walls.

00:11:16.180 It turns out

00:11:17.060 that the warmth

00:11:18.020 where you measured it,

00:11:19.760 the moment you're

00:11:20.700 done measuring it,

00:11:21.740 it can kind of move

00:11:22.620 over somewhere else

00:11:23.600 where maybe it wasn't

00:11:25.100 so warm before.

00:11:27.200 Now, if you know

00:11:28.900 anything about the real world

00:11:30.480 and you've lived in it

00:11:31.500 for five minutes,

00:11:33.380 you know you can't measure

00:11:34.720 accurately enough

00:11:35.860 the temperature

00:11:37.240 of the ocean.

00:11:39.100 I'm sorry,

00:11:39.900 that's not a doable thing

00:11:41.480 that a human being

00:11:42.240 can do with current technology.

00:11:44.240 Could we do it someday?

00:11:46.520 One could imagine that.

00:11:48.200 One could imagine

00:11:49.280 a million drones

00:11:50.880 that periodically drop,

00:11:54.100 you know,

00:11:54.840 temperature measurements

00:11:55.820 into a million different places

00:11:57.940 chosen randomly

00:11:58.840 and they do it

00:12:00.140 on a regular basis

00:12:01.120 and then we track it

00:12:02.180 for 30 years.

00:12:03.940 That might be pretty good.

00:12:06.120 I don't know,

00:12:07.140 but that might be pretty good.

00:12:08.400 Do you think we're doing that?

00:12:09.440 Do you think we're putting

00:12:10.060 a million drones down

00:12:11.620 every other day

00:12:12.420 in random places?

00:12:14.920 No.

00:12:16.940 No, we're not.

00:12:18.220 We're dropping a robot, too,

00:12:19.880 in the ocean

00:12:20.740 and then trying to tell people

00:12:22.560 who were probably

00:12:23.580 in charge of funding it

00:12:24.720 that it was all

00:12:25.540 very successful

00:12:26.360 and they should be

00:12:27.140 very happy

00:12:27.660 they spent their money

00:12:28.540 measuring the temperature

00:12:30.140 of the ocean.

00:12:34.020 Do you remember

00:12:34.820 when you used to believe

00:12:35.700 stuff like that?

00:12:37.860 When somebody would tell you,

00:12:39.120 yeah, we measured the ocean

00:12:40.280 and you thought,

00:12:42.620 huh, good job.

00:12:44.260 I wouldn't know

00:12:44.960 how to do it myself,

00:12:46.200 but I'm glad you're out there

00:12:47.960 just killing it

00:12:49.300 and measuring

00:12:50.200 the temperature of the ocean.

00:12:52.060 No, don't believe that.

00:12:54.600 Meanwhile,

00:12:55.040 RFK Jr.

00:12:56.120 is saying that

00:12:56.800 this is a great,

00:12:59.620 just a great way

00:13:00.720 to put something.

00:13:02.420 I tell you,

00:13:02.920 RFK Jr.

00:13:03.880 is,

00:13:04.960 I don't know

00:13:05.820 how much comes

00:13:06.940 all from him

00:13:08.000 and how much

00:13:08.700 he has help

00:13:09.340 with speech writing

00:13:10.380 and messaging,

00:13:11.940 but damn,

00:13:12.680 he's good.

00:13:13.680 So good.

00:13:14.500 Listen to this one.

00:13:15.880 Quote,

00:13:16.440 for half the price

00:13:17.540 of Ozempic,

00:13:18.460 we could purchase

00:13:19.240 organic food

00:13:20.020 for every American

00:13:20.900 three meals a day

00:13:21.900 and gym memberships

00:13:23.340 for every obese American.

00:13:26.020 Now,

00:13:26.500 there are probably

00:13:27.240 a million different ways

00:13:28.560 to say the message

00:13:29.740 he was saying,

00:13:31.420 but somehow

00:13:32.280 he picked

00:13:32.720 the best one.

00:13:34.680 This is really good

00:13:36.080 to immediately

00:13:37.840 just put that

00:13:38.640 Ozempic thing

00:13:39.500 because it's in the news,

00:13:40.900 right?

00:13:41.340 So if you pick anything

00:13:42.460 that's already

00:13:42.980 on people's minds,

00:13:44.980 you're automatically

00:13:45.940 good messaging

00:13:46.780 because you're not

00:13:47.840 making them think

00:13:48.860 of something,

00:13:49.680 you're finding something

00:13:50.820 they're already

00:13:51.240 thinking about.

00:13:51.860 That's the key

00:13:53.020 to good messaging

00:13:54.060 and persuasion.

00:13:55.240 Find something

00:13:56.020 they're already

00:13:56.720 thinking about

00:13:57.500 and then you've got

00:13:58.480 something to tie

00:13:59.340 your messaging to.

00:14:00.420 So that's what he did.

00:14:03.280 And now you might say,

00:14:05.160 is that true?

00:14:06.480 You could purchase

00:14:07.200 organic food

00:14:08.020 three meals a day

00:14:08.800 for every American

00:14:09.740 for half the price

00:14:11.240 of Ozempic?

00:14:12.800 I don't know.

00:14:14.120 Who knows?

00:14:15.020 I don't even know

00:14:15.540 if you could calculate

00:14:16.300 such a thing.

00:14:16.940 but doesn't it make

00:14:18.920 you want to think

00:14:19.500 about it a little while?

00:14:20.960 Makes you pause?

00:14:22.440 You go,

00:14:22.760 really?

00:14:23.660 Well,

00:14:23.980 how much do we spend

00:14:25.220 on Ozempic?

00:14:26.300 And so,

00:14:27.220 half of that?

00:14:28.100 Would that really

00:14:28.760 buy all that food?

00:14:32.060 How much is a gym

00:14:33.120 membership anyway?

00:14:34.740 So it doesn't matter

00:14:36.160 that it's exactly,

00:14:38.440 you know,

00:14:38.640 those numbers

00:14:39.120 match exactly.

00:14:40.540 What does matter,

00:14:41.440 of course,

00:14:42.400 is it directionally

00:14:43.860 correct?

00:14:44.720 Yes, it is.

00:14:45.340 Yes, it would be great

00:14:47.360 if we didn't have

00:14:48.540 to stick a drug

00:14:49.300 in us to be healthy

00:14:50.580 if we just ate

00:14:51.760 better and exercised.

00:14:53.880 So,

00:14:54.460 and he points out

00:14:56.720 that even the Danish

00:14:57.600 government doesn't

00:14:58.660 recommend Ozempic.

00:15:00.200 It recommends a change

00:15:01.240 in diet and exercise.

00:15:04.740 So he says,

00:15:05.700 it's a Danish company,

00:15:07.020 by the way.

00:15:07.640 So it's a Danish company

00:15:09.000 that makes Ozempic,

00:15:10.580 but the country

00:15:11.960 it comes from

00:15:12.620 doesn't recommend it.

00:15:13.660 But we're not Danish

00:15:15.980 and it's not

00:15:16.600 a Danish company

00:15:17.440 and we're just

00:15:18.380 sucking that stuff

00:15:19.520 in like crazy.

00:15:22.260 And Kennedy says,

00:15:23.460 why are members

00:15:23.980 of Congress

00:15:24.420 doing the bidding

00:15:25.020 of the Danish company

00:15:26.400 instead of standing

00:15:27.920 up for farmers

00:15:28.640 and children?

00:15:30.020 Very good question.

00:15:31.780 Very good question.

00:15:37.120 Related to this

00:15:38.100 is could vertical

00:15:39.260 farming

00:15:40.040 help us?

00:15:41.660 Help us.

00:15:43.020 Vertical farming

00:15:43.900 is indoor farming

00:15:45.020 where instead of

00:15:46.080 just having a row

00:15:47.200 of stuff on the ground,

00:15:48.520 you build a wall

00:15:49.680 and the full wall

00:15:51.440 is full of plants

00:15:52.480 and that you can use

00:15:54.760 the space

00:15:55.420 more efficiently.

00:15:56.260 But there are

00:15:56.900 some thoughts

00:15:57.440 according to

00:15:57.980 SkyMex publication

00:15:59.660 that if you

00:16:02.000 kept fiddling

00:16:02.760 with the light

00:16:04.120 and the water

00:16:07.260 and the nutrients

00:16:08.420 and the spacing

00:16:09.800 and all that stuff,

00:16:10.980 if you just

00:16:11.520 kept fiddling with it,

00:16:12.500 you would just

00:16:13.280 keep getting better

00:16:14.080 at it

00:16:14.520 until this was

00:16:15.860 a real big part

00:16:17.040 of our food system.

00:16:18.740 Now remember,

00:16:19.280 if you do a vertical farm,

00:16:20.940 an indoor farm,

00:16:22.160 it can be placed

00:16:23.680 close to the people

00:16:25.020 who consume it.

00:16:26.340 So you take away

00:16:27.320 all the storage

00:16:28.180 and all the shipment

00:16:28.900 costs

00:16:29.560 and energy costs

00:16:30.460 are high.

00:16:30.820 And then apparently

00:16:32.440 you can do things

00:16:33.300 with regulating

00:16:34.600 the light

00:16:35.200 so you save

00:16:36.220 a bunch of money

00:16:36.800 on light

00:16:37.200 by not using

00:16:38.080 all the light

00:16:39.020 right away

00:16:39.740 and stuff like that.

00:16:41.240 So here's what I think.

00:16:42.620 I think you can

00:16:43.380 easily imagine

00:16:44.200 that an industry

00:16:46.120 will pop up

00:16:47.240 where first of all

00:16:48.940 all the vertical

00:16:50.880 farming components

00:16:52.140 are just

00:16:52.980 easy to buy

00:16:55.180 and there's competition.

00:16:56.660 So you need

00:16:57.540 some kind of racks

00:16:58.580 or shelving

00:16:59.400 to get the height.

00:17:01.320 Somebody

00:17:01.800 probably already

00:17:02.860 is just making those

00:17:04.620 and you just say,

00:17:05.360 okay,

00:17:05.700 I'll buy these

00:17:06.540 and put them

00:17:06.940 in my farm.

00:17:08.600 Likewise,

00:17:09.780 there have been

00:17:11.140 a number of developments

00:17:12.020 with light,

00:17:13.260 you know,

00:17:13.440 indoor artificial light

00:17:14.880 to get just

00:17:16.180 the right frequency

00:17:17.020 and stuff like that.

00:17:18.120 And I've also seen

00:17:19.140 stories about

00:17:19.940 people using music

00:17:21.460 and vibrations

00:17:22.160 to make their plants

00:17:24.080 10 times bigger.

00:17:25.600 So I feel like

00:17:27.560 this is a little bit

00:17:30.140 like indoor farming

00:17:31.160 is sort of the

00:17:31.820 Model T

00:17:32.460 of automobiles

00:17:34.460 where if you

00:17:36.360 looked at the

00:17:37.100 Model T,

00:17:37.760 you'd say to yourself,

00:17:38.620 I'm not so sure

00:17:39.400 everybody's going to

00:17:40.120 want one of these.

00:17:41.940 You know,

00:17:42.200 if it rains,

00:17:43.060 you're going to get wet.

00:17:45.280 What good is an automobile

00:17:46.700 if you get wet

00:17:48.180 when it rains?

00:17:48.960 Nobody's going to buy

00:17:49.680 these Model T's.

00:17:51.140 But of course,

00:17:51.980 they got better

00:17:53.220 every year

00:17:53.740 and they continue

00:17:54.380 to get better.

00:17:55.000 So I think

00:17:55.740 vertical farming

00:17:56.400 is the future.

00:17:57.440 Let's talk about

00:17:58.140 Diddy.

00:18:00.000 You all know

00:18:01.000 the Diddy story,

00:18:01.940 but what is

00:18:02.780 interesting to me

00:18:03.820 is how many

00:18:05.480 probably innocent

00:18:06.880 people are getting

00:18:07.700 dragged into this

00:18:08.600 story.

00:18:09.740 Now,

00:18:10.160 I'm going to mention

00:18:10.680 some names

00:18:11.260 of celebrities,

00:18:12.380 but I want to be

00:18:12.940 very careful

00:18:13.540 that my context

00:18:15.160 is telling you

00:18:16.100 that they're innocent.

00:18:17.860 Right?

00:18:18.400 They're going to be

00:18:18.840 dragged into this

00:18:19.620 Diddy stuff,

00:18:20.540 but they're innocent

00:18:21.640 until they're proven

00:18:22.280 guilty.

00:18:22.600 And as far as I know,

00:18:24.320 they're not proven

00:18:25.300 guilty of anything.

00:18:26.920 So I'm going to

00:18:27.700 call them all innocent

00:18:28.500 and you better

00:18:30.560 bring me some

00:18:31.740 good information

00:18:32.440 to change my mind.

00:18:34.360 But it seems like

00:18:36.080 when you have a story

00:18:36.880 like this where

00:18:37.540 there's sort of a,

00:18:38.480 let's call it a black

00:18:39.520 box of badness

00:18:41.240 where you don't know

00:18:41.900 exactly what happened

00:18:42.880 behind closed doors,

00:18:44.400 you can kind of

00:18:46.000 throw everybody

00:18:46.860 into it.

00:18:48.360 So now we have,

00:18:49.540 let's see,

00:18:50.340 Mayor Adams of

00:18:51.260 New York City.

00:18:51.860 So one of the rumors

00:18:53.140 today is that

00:18:54.020 he knew too much

00:18:55.800 or he has some

00:18:57.400 connection with the

00:18:58.240 Diddy stuff

00:18:58.900 or blackmail or

00:18:59.820 something.

00:19:00.340 There's no evidence

00:19:01.280 of that.

00:19:02.320 None.

00:19:03.140 It's just that he's

00:19:03.960 a public figure.

00:19:05.100 He's having some

00:19:05.940 legal issues.

00:19:06.980 It's around the

00:19:07.920 same time.

00:19:09.920 Then there were,

00:19:10.820 there's a whole bunch

00:19:11.640 of music executives

00:19:12.840 who suddenly

00:19:14.920 announced a

00:19:15.760 resignation right

00:19:16.620 after the Diddy

00:19:17.360 thing broke.

00:19:18.320 So people are saying,

00:19:19.480 well, that's a lot

00:19:20.280 of coincidental,

00:19:21.560 you know,

00:19:22.640 people leaving the

00:19:23.780 business just at the

00:19:25.080 time.

00:19:26.220 Could it be related

00:19:27.260 or is it just because

00:19:28.320 it's the end of the

00:19:29.020 year and that's when

00:19:29.600 people like to

00:19:31.360 retire anyway?

00:19:33.480 I don't know.

00:19:34.500 But innocent until

00:19:35.260 proven guilty.

00:19:36.640 Poor Justin Bieber

00:19:37.640 is,

00:19:38.980 he would be a victim

00:19:40.820 if anything,

00:19:41.940 but we don't know

00:19:43.040 what did or did

00:19:43.940 not happen.

00:19:44.420 I worry the most

00:19:45.820 about him because

00:19:46.800 the circumstantial

00:19:48.680 evidence looks

00:19:49.480 pretty damning.

00:19:51.440 But I think we have

00:19:52.080 to wait to hear

00:19:52.640 from him.

00:19:54.980 He may have,

00:19:56.080 he may now have

00:19:56.980 the freedom

00:19:57.520 to actually say

00:19:59.420 what happened,

00:20:00.660 whereas obviously

00:20:01.720 he didn't have

00:20:02.220 the freedom before.

00:20:03.280 So we might find

00:20:04.520 out a lot from

00:20:05.140 Justin and I hope

00:20:06.880 he was not as

00:20:07.840 victimized as people

00:20:08.940 are speculating.

00:20:10.280 Ontario,

00:21:09.280 responsibly.

00:21:09.960 Then there was

00:21:11.260 this star,

00:21:12.180 Aaron Carter.

00:21:13.780 I hope I have

00:21:14.200 the right name.

00:21:15.020 He was a young,

00:21:15.880 sort of a Bieber

00:21:16.660 kind of a young

00:21:18.820 fellow who was

00:21:19.580 also part of that

00:21:20.400 Diddy world,

00:21:22.000 and he allegedly

00:21:22.860 died young,

00:21:24.280 and some people

00:21:25.020 are saying,

00:21:25.520 well,

00:21:26.040 did he really die,

00:21:28.020 or was he murdered?

00:21:30.400 I'm not making

00:21:31.060 any assumptions here.

00:21:32.340 Again,

00:21:32.640 I'm just telling you

00:21:33.300 that people are

00:21:34.420 being dragged

00:21:34.940 into the story

00:21:35.760 who some number

00:21:37.400 of them probably

00:21:38.020 had nothing to do

00:21:38.740 with anything.

00:21:40.940 There's a whole bunch

00:21:41.700 of Ashton Kutcher

00:21:42.860 stories.

00:21:44.880 Apparently,

00:21:45.360 I didn't know this,

00:21:46.120 but there's a

00:21:46.700 well-known story

00:21:48.240 where Ashton Kutcher,

00:21:49.960 earlier in his career,

00:21:52.020 was going on a date

00:21:53.920 with somebody

00:21:54.940 he had not yet

00:21:55.560 met in person,

00:21:56.260 I think,

00:21:57.000 and he went

00:21:57.780 to pick her up

00:21:58.460 and she didn't

00:21:58.920 answer the door,

00:22:00.340 and later it was found

00:22:01.560 that she had been

00:22:02.100 stabbed to death

00:22:02.900 47 times.

00:22:04.020 So she was inside.

00:22:05.220 She was just dead

00:22:06.060 by the time

00:22:06.580 he got to his date

00:22:07.480 and he'd been talking

00:22:08.340 to her during the night.

00:22:10.500 Now,

00:22:11.160 I have no reason

00:22:13.020 to believe

00:22:13.460 he was in any way

00:22:15.020 involved with any

00:22:15.980 bad behavior.

00:22:17.200 However,

00:22:18.240 how many of you

00:22:20.000 have had the experience

00:22:21.060 of becoming a TV

00:22:22.200 and movie star

00:22:23.040 but also showed up

00:22:25.180 at somebody's house

00:22:25.900 when they were

00:22:26.760 slain?

00:22:29.800 That's just a weird

00:22:30.660 coincidence,

00:22:31.440 isn't it?

00:22:32.480 Like,

00:22:32.820 how many stories

00:22:34.180 that are different

00:22:36.120 from every story

00:22:37.000 anybody else would tell

00:22:37.980 does Ashton Kutcher

00:22:39.500 have?

00:22:41.140 You know,

00:22:41.300 then he becomes

00:22:41.860 a successful investor

00:22:43.300 separately.

00:22:46.600 Interesting.

00:22:49.440 Anyway,

00:22:50.360 Asher,

00:22:50.900 of course,

00:22:51.480 he was one of the ones

00:22:52.440 who stayed at Diddy's house.

00:22:53.860 Now we're seeing

00:22:54.400 old videos

00:22:55.760 of him talking

00:22:56.540 about it

00:22:57.120 in generic terms,

00:22:58.600 but now it doesn't

00:22:59.220 look so generic.

00:23:00.520 And you think,

00:23:01.380 oh my God,

00:23:02.180 they were trying

00:23:02.740 to tell us.

00:23:04.540 But again,

00:23:05.420 I'm not going to assume

00:23:06.500 that anybody did anything

00:23:07.460 or had anything done

00:23:08.460 to them.

00:23:09.220 We don't know yet.

00:23:11.240 Then I saw today even,

00:23:12.600 I'm not going to name

00:23:13.380 who even mentioned this,

00:23:15.460 but today,

00:23:16.660 Monica Lewinsky

00:23:17.440 was thrown into the mix.

00:23:19.320 Now this is the one

00:23:20.100 I believe the least,

00:23:22.640 but the suggestion is

00:23:24.420 that during the time,

00:23:25.980 if you know that Epstein,

00:23:27.580 if you know that Epstein

00:23:29.040 was a blackmailer,

00:23:30.380 and you know that Monica,

00:23:33.640 somebody said she's Jewish,

00:23:35.420 which shouldn't mean anything.

00:23:37.120 I think that's confirmed

00:23:38.400 because she dated Jake Tapper

00:23:40.000 and they met on a J-date

00:23:43.300 or Jewish website dating site.

00:23:45.780 So that doesn't mean

00:23:47.860 she's working for Israel

00:23:49.080 and it doesn't mean

00:23:50.060 she was co-opted by Epstein

00:23:52.880 or any of that.

00:23:53.940 It's just that she gets

00:23:54.880 dragged into the story

00:23:56.160 because she's a public figure

00:23:58.100 and we don't know

00:23:58.980 everything that happened

00:23:59.960 in that situation.

00:24:01.580 So I would say

00:24:02.420 the odds of her

00:24:03.420 being a Israeli spy,

00:24:07.320 low.

00:24:08.980 I'm not ready to be

00:24:10.360 interested in that story.

00:24:12.160 But my story is about

00:24:13.540 how people are getting

00:24:14.120 dragged into it.

00:24:15.660 So she got dragged

00:24:16.600 into it a little bit today.

00:24:18.480 LeBron James,

00:24:19.780 I guess he was pretty tight

00:24:20.980 with Diddy.

00:24:23.760 So lots of rumors

00:24:25.940 about LeBron.

00:24:26.760 LeBron, again,

00:24:27.820 I'm not aware of anything

00:24:29.480 he did illegal

00:24:30.240 or even knew about.

00:24:33.160 So we don't know.

00:24:34.580 And then all of this

00:24:36.140 brought Kanye back

00:24:37.160 in the news

00:24:37.820 because now the things

00:24:39.720 that Kanye said

00:24:40.640 that sounded crazy,

00:24:42.220 when you listen to them

00:24:44.080 again through the lens

00:24:45.520 of knowing what

00:24:46.220 actually happened,

00:24:47.220 it's a little less crazy.

00:24:49.020 I'm not ready to say

00:24:51.180 that everything Kanye

00:24:52.440 said is true

00:24:53.380 and he had his,

00:24:54.640 you know,

00:24:55.260 he had his issues

00:24:56.440 with the Jewish people

00:24:57.780 he was working with.

00:24:58.620 I'm not going to endorse it

00:25:00.000 or, you know,

00:25:01.620 say anything about that.

00:25:03.100 That's his business.

00:25:04.640 But everybody's

00:25:06.280 getting dragged in.

00:25:07.440 Makes you wonder.

00:25:08.220 And then 50 Cent,

00:25:11.300 you know,

00:25:11.800 he seems to be

00:25:12.660 the most innocent

00:25:13.440 because from early on

00:25:15.140 he was saying things

00:25:16.180 showing that he's

00:25:17.280 not part of that.

00:25:19.000 But he also said

00:25:19.700 that he was on,

00:25:21.200 I saw it on the talk show,

00:25:22.220 I don't know how long ago,

00:25:23.660 it looked reasonably recent.

00:25:26.620 They said he's celibate

00:25:27.780 by choice

00:25:29.900 because it's just

00:25:33.800 basically causes problems

00:25:35.480 when you're not.

00:25:37.340 Do you believe that?

00:25:38.940 Do you believe that 50 Cent,

00:25:40.800 who could probably have

00:25:41.840 as much sex

00:25:42.480 as he wanted every day,

00:25:44.240 as much,

00:25:44.780 you know,

00:25:45.020 all day long,

00:25:46.180 decided not to have any?

00:25:49.820 I don't know.

00:25:50.800 It could be that he's pranking.

00:25:53.080 He could be pranking.

00:25:55.160 But it might be true.

00:25:57.240 It might be true.

00:25:59.300 Anyway,

00:25:59.860 Trump went to a grocery store

00:26:01.600 and I think he bought

00:26:02.440 some groceries for somebody.

00:26:04.380 It was mentioned

00:26:05.260 that I had suggested

00:26:06.380 he go to a grocery store

00:26:07.440 and bag groceries.

00:26:09.600 I wish he had bagged groceries

00:26:11.320 because the visual of him

00:26:13.800 chatting with a real person

00:26:15.540 while they're both standing there

00:26:17.580 and he's deciding

00:26:18.320 what goes in the bottom

00:26:19.240 of the bag

00:26:19.840 and how many bags you need.

00:26:22.120 To me,

00:26:22.740 that would just be magic.

00:26:25.040 So it was a good play

00:26:27.380 going to where

00:26:28.620 there are real people

00:26:29.460 and where the story

00:26:30.340 naturally is about inflation

00:26:32.240 because he's in the grocery store.

00:26:33.640 same thing with pumping gas.

00:26:38.380 You know,

00:26:38.940 there are a couple of states

00:26:39.740 where you can pump gas.

00:26:41.240 I would still love to see

00:26:42.860 somebody drive up to the pump

00:26:44.340 in one of those states,

00:26:45.280 I think New Jersey

00:26:46.360 and Washington

00:26:47.720 or something.

00:26:48.780 I can't remember

00:26:49.460 which states.

00:26:50.720 And just have Trump walk out

00:26:52.380 and give you gas

00:26:53.620 and then chat with you

00:26:55.800 about the price of gas.

00:26:56.760 I would love that.

00:26:59.600 It would just be so natural

00:27:01.560 because every time,

00:27:03.640 I don't know if you've noticed this,

00:27:05.040 but 100% of the time

00:27:06.520 that Trump talks in public,

00:27:10.900 the anti-Trump press

00:27:12.940 will find something

00:27:14.220 to take out of context

00:27:15.540 and some reason

00:27:16.640 to not like it.

00:27:18.340 But every time,

00:27:20.180 every time,

00:27:21.620 Trump talks to citizens,

00:27:23.220 it's a home run.

00:27:24.060 And, you know,

00:27:26.460 I'm pro this

00:27:28.020 because I was lucky enough,

00:27:29.940 I've told you too many times,

00:27:31.780 that, you know,

00:27:32.880 I spent some time with him

00:27:34.020 at the White House

00:27:35.360 in 2018

00:27:38.120 when he was just,

00:27:39.080 I think he was just

00:27:39.940 shoring up support

00:27:41.080 among the people

00:27:42.100 that he knew supported him.

00:27:44.700 And spending time with him

00:27:46.760 is the easiest,

00:27:48.080 most fun thing

00:27:49.300 you'll ever do in your life.

00:27:50.880 To me,

00:27:51.220 it was a highlight

00:27:51.780 of really my whole life.

00:27:54.060 He is so good,

00:27:57.820 so good

00:27:58.760 on the individual charisma,

00:28:01.340 human interaction level

00:28:02.700 that the more he does of that,

00:28:04.720 it's just magic.

00:28:05.960 So this was a good play.

00:28:08.120 All right,

00:28:08.860 let's talk about propaganda,

00:28:10.420 which you call news.

00:28:12.020 So,

00:28:12.520 Anderson Cooper

00:28:13.200 had James Carville on.

00:28:15.260 And listen to some of the things

00:28:16.800 that Cooper says

00:28:18.180 when you think

00:28:20.320 that he's having somebody on

00:28:21.680 to get some news

00:28:22.780 from the person

00:28:23.620 he's talking to.

00:28:24.940 But you'll find out

00:28:25.900 that the person

00:28:26.480 he's talking to

00:28:27.260 is irrelevant

00:28:27.960 because he's making the news

00:28:30.320 by his statements.

00:28:31.820 In other words,

00:28:32.360 he's using the interview

00:28:34.180 just to spread propaganda.

00:28:35.900 This is my interpretation.

00:28:38.160 So,

00:28:38.900 here's something

00:28:39.720 that Cooper said

00:28:40.420 to Carville

00:28:40.960 on the air.

00:28:42.620 Quote,

00:28:42.980 when you look

00:28:43.620 at the last couple of months,

00:28:44.920 you have Donald Trump

00:28:46.360 talking about Haitians

00:28:47.600 eating cats and dogs,

00:28:49.260 his candidate in North Carolina

00:28:50.720 talking about himself

00:28:51.960 as a black Nazi

00:28:53.140 on a porn site.

00:28:54.240 He brought 9-11 conspiracy theorists

00:28:56.780 to a 9-11 memorial ceremony.

00:28:59.300 And then he says to Carville,

00:29:00.740 why do you think

00:29:01.380 it's this close?

00:29:05.080 Now,

00:29:05.860 that sounds a little like payback

00:29:07.720 because this is what

00:29:09.320 I've been saying.

00:29:11.020 So,

00:29:11.380 almost every day,

00:29:12.320 I tell you something

00:29:13.880 that's so ridiculously absurd

00:29:15.940 coming out of the Harris campaign

00:29:17.280 and then I always end it with,

00:29:19.660 and the polls are a tie.

00:29:21.760 Because to me,

00:29:22.560 it's hilarious

00:29:23.120 that you could have somebody

00:29:25.260 who's afraid to appear in public

00:29:27.100 who's running for president

00:29:28.360 who has no accomplishments whatsoever,

00:29:32.540 is part of the administration

00:29:34.520 that everybody thinks failed,

00:29:37.100 and that is close.

00:29:39.480 And we know exactly

00:29:40.900 what Trump did

00:29:41.700 in the first term,

00:29:42.860 and if you were to compare that

00:29:44.100 to what has happened recently,

00:29:46.180 it's,

00:29:46.760 I don't think it's close.

00:29:48.580 I mean,

00:29:48.760 one was anti-war,

00:29:49.940 one was pro-war.

00:29:51.740 I mean,

00:29:52.220 to me,

00:29:52.580 it doesn't look close.

00:29:53.860 But,

00:29:54.340 can you tell that

00:29:56.520 the way Cooper

00:29:57.520 phrased the question,

00:30:00.360 that it was never

00:30:01.320 about the question,

00:30:02.660 it was about him saying

00:30:04.640 that Trump is so bad

00:30:06.080 that why doesn't

00:30:07.500 the public see it yet

00:30:08.600 when we the news

00:30:10.000 keep telling him,

00:30:10.860 here,

00:30:11.080 I'm the news,

00:30:11.700 I'm telling you,

00:30:12.660 I'm telling you he's bad,

00:30:13.660 why don't you vote differently?

00:30:15.340 Yeah,

00:30:15.660 that was

00:30:16.380 no news value.

00:30:19.760 No news value.

00:30:21.160 Nor could there have

00:30:22.200 possibly been

00:30:23.140 any news value.

00:30:25.440 There wasn't even

00:30:26.060 any potential

00:30:26.680 for news value.

00:30:28.000 It was pure propaganda

00:30:29.600 in which the person

00:30:31.140 who was the guest,

00:30:31.940 in this case Carville,

00:30:32.880 was really a prop.

00:30:37.300 He wasn't even

00:30:37.800 part of the process.

00:30:39.520 He was just a prop.

00:30:41.480 Now,

00:30:41.740 what is Carville

00:30:43.160 most famous for?

00:30:45.620 He's most famous

00:30:46.520 for helping

00:30:47.480 Clinton

00:30:48.520 originally get elected

00:30:49.660 and for using the phrase,

00:30:51.800 it's the economy stupid.

00:30:54.260 So,

00:30:54.620 he was the smart one

00:30:55.600 who said,

00:30:56.280 people care about

00:30:57.320 buying groceries.

00:30:59.280 If you keep it to that,

00:31:00.420 you're going to win

00:31:01.020 and then Clinton did.

00:31:03.460 Do you hear Carville

00:31:04.480 say that anymore?

00:31:06.200 Do you hear Carville

00:31:07.200 say it's the economy stupid?

00:31:09.580 Do you think

00:31:10.060 it stopped being

00:31:10.760 about the economy

00:31:11.580 when the economy

00:31:12.620 is actually more important

00:31:13.740 to people now

00:31:14.700 than maybe

00:31:15.180 just about any time

00:31:16.480 except the

00:31:17.160 Great Depression?

00:31:19.700 No,

00:31:20.340 Carville can't even

00:31:21.300 say the thing

00:31:22.020 that made him famous.

00:31:23.860 Just think about that.

00:31:26.800 When they bring on

00:31:27.860 the worse than Watergate guys,

00:31:29.540 I always joke about that,

00:31:31.640 they make sure

00:31:32.320 that worse than Watergate guys

00:31:34.680 say something

00:31:35.900 was worse than Watergate.

00:31:37.640 But,

00:31:38.100 when Trump said

00:31:39.540 he wants to eat a cat,

00:31:41.560 was that worse

00:31:42.140 than Watergate?

00:31:42.780 Oh,

00:31:43.120 that's worse than Watergate.

00:31:44.640 So much worse

00:31:45.460 than Watergate.

00:31:47.260 Well,

00:31:47.480 you bring on Carville,

00:31:49.080 who is the famous

00:31:50.060 it's the economy stupid,

00:31:51.800 but he can't say that.

00:31:55.860 Do you know why?

00:31:56.840 Do you know why Carville

00:31:59.220 can't say

00:31:59.840 it's the economy stupid?

00:32:03.100 Because

00:32:03.660 it's the economy stupid.

00:32:08.360 He can't say it

00:32:09.620 because it's true.

00:32:11.280 Just hold that in your mind.

00:32:13.760 He can't say it

00:32:14.920 because it's true.

00:32:18.920 And Trump

00:32:19.940 dominates

00:32:21.120 in the public's mind

00:32:22.280 about who would do

00:32:22.860 a better job

00:32:23.340 in the economy.

00:32:23.860 So the moment

00:32:24.960 you put Carville

00:32:26.260 on the air

00:32:26.900 and then Carville

00:32:28.000 says what made him famous,

00:32:29.400 which was always true

00:32:30.460 and remains

00:32:31.680 maybe even more true today.

00:32:34.320 Nope,

00:32:34.740 can't say it

00:32:35.460 because it's true.

00:32:40.040 So then,

00:32:40.940 here's the second

00:32:42.180 Anderson Cooper

00:32:43.040 propaganda thing.

00:32:44.000 And what you should

00:32:47.560 watch for

00:32:48.160 is how the question

00:32:49.660 is the only thing

00:32:50.600 with substance

00:32:51.180 and then the guess

00:32:53.480 that he has on

00:32:54.260 adds absolutely nothing.

00:32:56.620 All right,

00:32:56.800 so here's what happens.

00:32:59.420 So Cooper starts out

00:33:00.640 with

00:33:01.020 you stating

00:33:03.140 what he would

00:33:04.040 consider an obvious truth,

00:33:06.000 I guess.

00:33:06.520 So he stated it like

00:33:07.720 everybody knows this.

00:33:10.380 So here's the thing

00:33:11.040 that everybody knows

00:33:12.040 that propagandist

00:33:14.520 Cooper told

00:33:15.520 his dumb viewers.

00:33:18.860 He said that

00:33:19.560 obviously

00:33:20.740 hand counting

00:33:21.580 would have more errors.

00:33:24.620 Does that track

00:33:25.920 with what you know?

00:33:27.520 That hand counting

00:33:28.480 would have more errors

00:33:30.200 than machine counting?

00:33:33.120 The entire reason

00:33:34.520 that this was

00:33:35.340 talking about Georgia

00:33:36.240 just changed the law

00:33:37.720 so that in Georgia

00:33:38.620 the ballots

00:33:39.540 will have to be

00:33:40.100 hand counted.

00:33:40.820 They're not going to

00:33:41.220 use machines for that.

00:33:42.880 So this, of course,

00:33:45.040 if it's true

00:33:46.520 that Georgia

00:33:47.180 was massively cheating

00:33:48.740 using the complexity

00:33:50.660 of their various systems,

00:33:52.500 then the hand counting

00:33:54.060 would eliminate

00:33:54.760 their ability

00:33:55.400 to do that.

00:33:57.700 Why would a news

00:33:58.900 organization

00:33:59.700 be opposed

00:34:02.040 to somebody

00:34:03.700 getting rid

00:34:04.220 of all the complexity

00:34:05.280 that lowered

00:34:05.960 the credibility

00:34:06.700 of the result

00:34:07.640 and putting

00:34:09.500 and putting

00:34:09.520 in the system

00:34:10.140 that everybody

00:34:10.940 who knows

00:34:11.480 anything about

00:34:12.160 elections

00:34:12.700 thinks is the

00:34:13.580 better system,

00:34:14.960 the paper ballots,

00:34:16.200 especially when you

00:34:17.520 have somebody

00:34:17.980 watching you

00:34:18.660 count them.

00:34:19.660 Let me ask you

00:34:20.500 this.

00:34:21.680 If you've got

00:34:22.640 a Democrat

00:34:23.200 and a Republican

00:34:24.600 watching every ballot

00:34:25.840 get counted,

00:34:26.740 which is how

00:34:27.520 you should do it,

00:34:28.700 how many mistakes

00:34:30.020 are you going to make?

00:34:32.260 Is the watcher

00:34:33.260 going to go to the

00:34:33.780 bathroom or something?

00:34:35.600 I don't know.

00:34:36.660 And then if you

00:34:37.200 don't get the right

00:34:38.080 answer, you can

00:34:38.780 always just count

00:34:39.600 it again.

00:34:40.960 So you have a

00:34:41.800 perfect audit

00:34:42.660 because you just

00:34:43.900 recount it.

00:34:45.240 You can't do that

00:34:46.200 with the current

00:34:46.660 system.

00:34:49.120 So here's what,

00:34:50.440 so first Cooper

00:34:51.380 says it's sort of

00:34:52.240 obvious that

00:34:53.440 hand counting

00:34:54.120 is bad.

00:34:54.860 That is the

00:34:55.520 opposite from true,

00:34:57.080 but he stated it

00:34:58.660 like it doesn't

00:34:59.260 even need to be

00:34:59.820 discussed.

00:35:00.440 It's just, you

00:35:01.020 know, everybody

00:35:01.400 can tell hand

00:35:02.100 counting.

00:35:02.740 I mean, really,

00:35:03.760 how are you

00:35:04.320 going to compare

00:35:04.780 like a stupid

00:35:05.760 human to a

00:35:06.440 computer?

00:35:07.440 Obviously, the

00:35:08.080 computer is going

00:35:08.740 to be better at

00:35:09.300 math.

00:35:09.960 I mean, seriously,

00:35:11.360 right?

00:35:12.640 No, the hand

00:35:14.100 counting is by

00:35:15.100 far the more

00:35:16.580 reliable system,

00:35:17.780 and that's why

00:35:18.400 it's used.

00:35:19.440 It's used

00:35:20.300 specifically because

00:35:21.760 it's more reliable.

00:35:23.440 That's the only

00:35:24.300 reason.

00:35:26.800 Anyway, maybe

00:35:28.760 because it's

00:35:29.240 cheaper in some

00:35:29.860 cases.

00:35:30.220 So then the

00:35:32.740 guest who

00:35:33.640 was there to

00:35:34.180 add value

00:35:34.900 said stuff

00:35:36.040 like, blah,

00:35:37.660 blah, blah.

00:35:38.240 They're trying

00:35:38.600 to carry

00:35:39.080 Trump's water.

00:35:40.380 They're ankle

00:35:40.900 biters, conspiracy

00:35:42.180 theories.

00:35:43.980 They're basically

00:35:45.040 mega this.

00:35:46.660 He didn't have

00:35:47.360 anything on the

00:35:48.180 topic.

00:35:49.440 Nothing.

00:35:50.480 He didn't say,

00:35:51.440 well, the studies

00:35:52.200 have shown that

00:35:52.920 this is a bad

00:35:53.620 idea.

00:35:54.140 Nope.

00:35:55.000 Well, here's the

00:35:56.100 logical reason why

00:35:57.200 this can't work.

00:35:58.080 Nope.

00:35:59.480 He simply

00:36:00.320 insulted

00:36:00.960 Republicans.

00:36:02.640 He was a

00:36:03.640 guest to

00:36:05.220 talk about

00:36:05.680 this technical

00:36:06.740 issue of

00:36:08.060 ballots versus

00:36:09.000 machines, and

00:36:11.840 all he had

00:36:12.440 was some

00:36:13.240 insults to

00:36:13.920 Republicans.

00:36:14.640 He didn't

00:36:14.900 even try to

00:36:16.180 offer a reason

00:36:16.980 why anything

00:36:18.280 was better or

00:36:19.020 worse or

00:36:19.480 preferred.

00:36:21.200 And then

00:36:21.660 Cooper ends

00:36:24.160 the segment

00:36:24.660 by reminding

00:36:25.960 the audience

00:36:26.600 that we do

00:36:27.260 know the

00:36:27.700 2020 election

00:36:28.640 was fair and

00:36:30.820 everything was

00:36:31.420 fine, which

00:36:33.260 is a lie

00:36:34.240 because we

00:36:36.360 don't have a

00:36:36.960 system that

00:36:37.620 could be

00:36:38.220 audited

00:36:38.800 completely, and

00:36:40.160 therefore there

00:36:40.840 is no way to

00:36:41.600 know it was

00:36:41.980 fair.

00:36:42.660 We can only

00:36:43.600 know that

00:36:44.060 nobody proved

00:36:44.840 in the court

00:36:45.380 that it was

00:36:45.900 unfair in

00:36:46.880 time.

00:37:03.780 So, one lie

00:37:06.420 that hand

00:37:07.320 counting is

00:37:07.940 unreliable, and

00:37:09.480 then he ends it

00:37:10.180 with knowing that

00:37:11.000 we know for

00:37:12.260 sure that which

00:37:13.180 cannot be known,

00:37:14.340 which is the

00:37:15.160 quality of the

00:37:15.900 prior election.

00:37:16.900 It can't be

00:37:17.360 known.

00:37:18.040 There's no way

00:37:18.600 to know it.

00:37:19.020 So, the

00:37:20.380 only thing he

00:37:20.900 could have done

00:37:21.380 to make it

00:37:21.820 dumber is to

00:37:23.300 say, our

00:37:24.280 elections are

00:37:25.080 as accurate as

00:37:26.520 our ability to

00:37:27.240 use a robot to

00:37:28.900 measure the

00:37:29.480 temperature of

00:37:30.440 the entire

00:37:30.960 ocean.

00:37:33.380 Should have

00:37:33.980 thrown that

00:37:34.400 in there.

00:37:38.240 Well, what

00:37:38.920 is the most

00:37:40.140 ignored story

00:37:41.680 of 2024 that

00:37:43.180 also was the

00:37:44.280 most important?

00:37:45.780 Well, here's

00:37:46.740 my nomination.

00:37:47.440 Now, I

00:37:49.340 think this is

00:37:50.180 all true, so

00:37:52.320 I have to say

00:37:52.940 that first.

00:37:54.100 It could be

00:37:54.960 ignored because

00:37:55.820 maybe I have

00:37:56.460 something wrong.

00:37:58.020 Maybe it's not

00:37:58.640 true, but I

00:38:00.500 think it's true.

00:38:01.740 I saw the

00:38:02.280 documents.

00:38:03.000 I didn't see

00:38:03.400 anybody debunk

00:38:04.520 them.

00:38:05.440 So, the claim

00:38:05.980 is, and you

00:38:09.340 see this in a

00:38:10.160 bunch of places,

00:38:11.140 but the claim

00:38:12.340 is that we

00:38:13.600 now know in

00:38:14.720 writing, because

00:38:15.760 we have the

00:38:16.140 document, that

00:38:17.180 Trump gave

00:38:17.840 clear instructions

00:38:18.780 to the

00:38:19.340 Pentagon before

00:38:20.440 the January

00:38:21.000 6th riots, that

00:38:22.840 he wanted to

00:38:23.380 make sure that

00:38:24.280 they were fully

00:38:24.880 staffed and

00:38:25.600 they had all

00:38:26.040 the defensive

00:38:27.720 military assets

00:38:29.660 they needed and

00:38:30.540 they were all

00:38:30.880 ready to go so

00:38:32.260 that there was

00:38:32.700 no violence that

00:38:33.660 day.

00:38:34.760 Now, that one

00:38:35.820 fact, if that's

00:38:37.560 true, completely

00:38:40.700 eliminates the

00:38:41.460 entire Democrat

00:38:42.480 reason for running

00:38:45.220 against Trump.

00:38:46.200 Their main

00:38:46.960 thing is that

00:38:47.740 January 6th proved

00:38:48.960 that he's an

00:38:49.540 insurrectionist, and

00:38:50.880 now we have

00:38:51.520 written proof,

00:38:53.220 written, we have

00:38:54.120 the documents, to

00:38:55.340 show that he

00:38:55.920 absolutely was

00:38:56.940 trying to make

00:38:57.480 sure that there

00:38:57.980 was no violence.

00:38:59.260 How exactly was

00:39:00.520 he going to take

00:39:01.140 over the country

00:39:01.880 with troops that

00:39:03.720 were not loyal to

00:39:04.540 him?

00:39:05.080 I mean, they were

00:39:05.580 loyal to their

00:39:06.260 senior officers, and

00:39:08.600 they were there to

00:39:09.760 protect the Capitol

00:39:11.880 from his people.

00:39:14.300 In what way do

00:39:15.760 any of the

00:39:16.260 narratives make

00:39:17.220 sense about it

00:39:19.060 was some kind of

00:39:19.660 an insurrection?

00:39:21.980 Now, I should be

00:39:23.260 clear that, so my

00:39:25.460 main point is this

00:39:26.320 is the most

00:39:26.900 ignored story of

00:39:27.920 2024.

00:39:29.480 Two questions for

00:39:30.660 you, my audience.

00:39:32.120 Is this story true

00:39:33.900 that we do know

00:39:35.960 for sure that Trump

00:39:37.400 was trying to

00:39:38.000 organize and put

00:39:39.400 effort into it,

00:39:40.280 and that the

00:39:42.460 help was denied

00:39:43.520 by maybe Millie

00:39:44.520 because of optics

00:39:45.460 when it came down

00:39:47.140 to it?

00:39:48.540 So, if this is

00:39:51.580 true, everything

00:39:53.840 we've been told

00:39:54.680 about January 6th

00:39:55.780 is a lie, and

00:39:58.000 also the January

00:39:58.880 6th Commission,

00:40:00.340 if they were aware

00:40:01.320 of this, and they

00:40:02.660 left it out of the

00:40:03.320 report, they all

00:40:04.920 need to be in jail.

00:40:07.720 Is that too far?

00:40:08.760 Or, the January

00:40:10.260 6th Commission, if

00:40:11.500 they knew this

00:40:12.200 fact, they knew

00:40:14.520 that this document

00:40:15.340 exists, and they

00:40:16.560 didn't include it in

00:40:17.440 the process, they

00:40:19.160 need to be in jail.

00:40:20.760 In jail.

00:40:21.880 Like, seriously, they

00:40:23.000 need to be in jail.

00:40:24.020 Like, right away.

00:40:25.260 Because that would be

00:40:26.120 one of the biggest

00:40:26.780 crimes I've ever seen

00:40:27.980 in the history of the

00:40:28.820 United States.

00:40:29.720 Non-financial crime.

00:40:31.860 It would be the

00:40:32.340 biggest one, you

00:40:33.940 know, not counting

00:40:34.540 something that's violent

00:40:35.620 and hurts people.

00:40:36.680 Although, in a sense,

00:40:37.500 this did hurt people.

00:40:39.440 You could argue that

00:40:40.500 not giving Trump that

00:40:43.140 military assistance was

00:40:45.200 the reason people

00:40:46.120 died.

00:40:47.260 So, I guess you did

00:40:48.380 kill people through

00:40:49.960 this political process.

00:40:53.080 So, yes.

00:40:55.500 To me, that looks like

00:40:56.800 election interference by

00:40:58.440 the J6 committee, and I

00:41:01.880 think they should be

00:41:02.940 charged and jailed for

00:41:04.260 that.

00:41:05.020 And I really think they

00:41:06.000 should be jailed for

00:41:06.700 that.

00:41:07.460 You know, I'm not a

00:41:09.240 fan of using lawfare

00:41:11.980 to go after your other

00:41:13.380 side.

00:41:14.840 So, there's a lot of

00:41:16.280 things that may or may

00:41:17.280 not have been said or

00:41:18.240 done by, let's say,

00:41:20.220 Harris and Biden, that

00:41:21.980 even if they look pretty

00:41:23.320 illegal, I feel like

00:41:25.240 we'd all be better off if

00:41:26.580 maybe we just moved on

00:41:27.780 and try to make sure it

00:41:29.580 doesn't happen in the

00:41:30.280 future, whatever it is.

00:41:31.380 But the committee, the

00:41:33.840 J6 committee, I don't

00:41:36.340 give them the same kind

00:41:38.760 of analysis.

00:41:39.920 To me, they just look

00:41:41.840 like criminals.

00:41:44.740 That's what I see.

00:41:46.060 I think they should be

00:41:46.800 in jail.

00:41:50.220 Anyway, Jim Acosta on

00:41:53.600 CNN had to confess that

00:41:56.940 the latest New York Times

00:41:58.220 poll said that Kamala

00:41:59.800 Harris' support among

00:42:02.600 Latino voters in

00:42:03.820 Arizona is down 11%

00:42:05.820 since last month.

00:42:07.740 But then he added this.

00:42:09.420 This is Jim Acosta on

00:42:10.660 CNN.

00:42:11.240 Quote, if you believe

00:42:12.800 this New York Times

00:42:13.700 poll.

00:42:16.620 So, they get a poll they

00:42:17.940 don't like, and then he

00:42:19.120 adds, if you believe it.

00:42:23.140 Wouldn't you have to add

00:42:24.640 that for every poll?

00:42:25.540 It seems like you

00:42:28.580 should say that for

00:42:29.260 every single poll, if

00:42:30.580 you believe that, but

00:42:33.040 only the ones they don't

00:42:33.800 like, I guess.

00:42:36.520 You probably heard that

00:42:37.760 the attempted assassin,

00:42:39.840 the second one on the

00:42:40.740 golf course, that Ryan

00:42:41.800 Ruth guy, or Routh, he

00:42:45.100 wrote a letter, I don't

00:42:47.300 know when he wrote this,

00:42:48.380 maybe after he got

00:42:49.300 jailed, admitting he

00:42:50.640 failed in trying to kill

00:42:52.600 Trump, but he offered

00:42:54.340 a $150,000 reward to

00:42:56.260 someone who could finish

00:42:57.080 the job.

00:42:58.400 And then our Department

00:42:59.440 of Justice decided that

00:43:02.680 you should see that

00:43:03.720 letter.

00:43:05.780 Why?

00:43:08.540 Why?

00:43:09.960 Did we really need to

00:43:10.900 see that?

00:43:12.120 Because you could argue

00:43:13.280 that if you think we

00:43:15.240 should see anything, well,

00:43:17.180 maybe we should see

00:43:18.000 everything.

00:43:18.920 Like, everything you

00:43:19.800 know, like, show us right

00:43:21.400 away as soon as you

00:43:22.160 know, but we know they

00:43:23.140 don't do that.

00:43:24.420 We know that when it's

00:43:25.380 an ongoing investigation

00:43:26.820 that they hold the facts

00:43:29.840 back as long as

00:43:30.920 possible.

00:43:34.040 But why would they

00:43:34.960 publish this when it

00:43:36.760 obviously seems like it

00:43:38.060 creates danger for the

00:43:39.140 president?

00:43:40.380 Well, to me, it looks

00:43:41.600 like the reason was to

00:43:42.960 create danger for the

00:43:44.600 president.

00:43:45.720 Now, I don't know that.

00:43:47.160 I can't read any minds,

00:43:48.660 but I don't really know

00:43:50.040 the second possibility.

00:43:52.040 Like, what would be the

00:43:52.780 other reason for doing

00:43:53.820 it?

00:43:54.820 Wouldn't every one of you

00:43:56.460 have considered this

00:43:57.460 inappropriate to put in

00:43:58.660 public?

00:43:59.920 If you got the job

00:44:01.520 tomorrow of being in

00:44:03.760 charge of whether

00:44:04.380 somebody saw that

00:44:05.160 picture, saw that

00:44:06.280 letter or not, wouldn't

00:44:07.880 you suppress it?

00:44:10.600 Because I don't know

00:44:11.420 what news value it had

00:44:12.660 other than bringing up

00:44:14.400 the idea that somebody

00:44:16.180 could get a payday.

00:44:17.280 Well, related to

00:44:20.680 that, you probably

00:44:25.180 heard that Matt

00:44:26.880 Gates is talking

00:44:27.700 about apparently we

00:44:30.040 know there are five

00:44:31.160 assassination teams in

00:44:33.200 the United States.

00:44:34.700 Now, where he gets

00:44:35.380 that, I don't know, but

00:44:36.720 I do think that he

00:44:37.660 doesn't make it up.

00:44:38.640 So I think he's got

00:44:39.960 some inside knowledge

00:44:41.140 about that.

00:44:42.420 And if there are five

00:44:43.200 teams, and allegedly

00:44:44.280 one of them is a

00:44:45.260 Ukrainian-based team,

00:44:46.720 shouldn't we stop

00:44:48.720 all funding to

00:44:51.060 Ukraine?

00:44:52.680 If we have

00:44:53.640 information that a

00:44:54.840 Ukrainian assassination

00:44:55.980 team is on American

00:44:57.340 soil, or some of

00:44:58.840 them, shouldn't we

00:45:00.600 immediately stop

00:45:01.340 funding if we do it?

00:45:03.440 If it came from the

00:45:04.480 government, I can't

00:45:05.440 imagine it wouldn't

00:45:06.280 come from the

00:45:06.840 government.

00:45:08.520 And then we have

00:45:09.540 the interesting

00:45:10.560 connection that that

00:45:11.880 Routh guy, the

00:45:13.740 second attempted

00:45:14.820 assassin, spent a

00:45:16.620 bunch of time in

00:45:17.340 Ukraine, it was

00:45:18.200 pro-Ukraine, it was

00:45:19.440 trying to do

00:45:19.880 everything to help

00:45:20.780 Ukraine, and would

00:45:22.380 imagine that taking

00:45:23.320 out Trump would

00:45:24.040 help Ukraine.

00:45:26.180 So the question

00:45:27.520 that Gates asks,

00:45:30.500 which is a good

00:45:31.140 question, is this

00:45:34.220 guy couldn't possibly

00:45:35.360 have been operating

00:45:36.220 alone, and if we

00:45:37.840 know there's a

00:45:38.580 Ukrainian hit team,

00:45:41.200 do we have

00:45:43.960 everything we need

00:45:44.780 to know?

00:45:46.160 I mean, it's not

00:45:47.080 confirmation, but if

00:45:49.120 anyone was on a

00:45:50.180 Ukrainian hit team, it

00:45:52.280 would have been this

00:45:52.980 guy.

00:45:53.920 Because if you're a

00:45:54.960 smart Ukrainian hit

00:45:56.580 team, you don't use a

00:45:57.600 Ukrainian to hit the

00:45:58.600 president.

00:45:59.420 If a Ukrainian pulled

00:46:01.000 the trigger, things

00:46:03.160 aren't going to go well

00:46:03.960 for Ukraine.

00:46:04.940 You all know that,

00:46:06.120 right?

00:46:06.380 And Ukraine would know

00:46:07.500 that.

00:46:08.400 So, same with Iran.

00:46:09.440 If there's an

00:46:10.860 Iranian hit team, the

00:46:12.880 last thing they want

00:46:13.760 to do is be the

00:46:15.680 Iranians that pull

00:46:16.520 the trigger.

00:46:17.300 That's not going to

00:46:18.060 happen.

00:46:18.860 So we've got two

00:46:20.000 cases of people who

00:46:21.240 got spun up rather

00:46:22.360 quickly to be

00:46:24.100 attempted assassins.

00:46:25.600 I wouldn't be

00:46:26.540 surprised if Crooks

00:46:28.100 was influenced by

00:46:29.300 Iran and Routh was

00:46:34.040 influenced by Ukraine

00:46:35.420 or some factors

00:46:38.320 within Ukraine.

00:46:39.520 Not necessarily

00:46:40.680 Zelensky, but can't

00:46:42.980 rule it out.

00:46:45.220 So, there's that.

00:46:47.400 The National Pulse

00:46:48.420 points out that the

00:46:49.340 Washington Post is

00:46:50.380 trying to remind us

00:46:52.680 that it would be

00:46:53.600 totally normal on

00:46:55.000 Election Day if

00:46:56.500 Trump is way ahead

00:46:57.580 when he goes to

00:46:58.200 sleep, but then all

00:46:59.800 those mail-in ballots

00:47:00.900 get counted, and then

00:47:02.540 suddenly Biden comes

00:47:03.840 from behind.

00:47:05.280 So, just like last

00:47:07.460 election, the

00:47:08.600 we're being told

00:47:09.900 that the normal,

00:47:11.640 most credible thing

00:47:13.300 in the world is for

00:47:14.840 a last-minute dump

00:47:15.900 of Biden votes.

00:47:18.780 That feels exactly

00:47:20.260 like we're being set

00:47:21.340 up for a steal.

00:47:22.940 In fact, I don't even

00:47:24.400 have a second way to

00:47:25.580 think about it.

00:47:26.520 Now, you can imagine

00:47:27.500 that if it were all

00:47:29.300 legitimate, they'd

00:47:30.320 still need to say it

00:47:31.340 to make sure that you

00:47:32.180 didn't think it was

00:47:32.920 illegitimate.

00:47:33.500 But, man, we're at

00:47:35.940 such a low-trust point

00:47:38.060 in civilization that

00:47:40.760 when somebody does

00:47:41.480 something that's so

00:47:42.660 obviously could have

00:47:43.880 that other meaning,

00:47:45.280 you know, maybe not

00:47:45.980 the positive meaning,

00:47:47.600 I just, I'm so biased

00:47:49.240 toward, well, that

00:47:50.400 looks like you're

00:47:51.000 setting us up for a

00:47:52.320 steal.

00:47:53.540 I don't know it, but

00:47:55.900 every part of my body

00:47:57.240 feels like that's what

00:47:58.220 happened, so that's

00:47:59.960 not ideal.

00:48:03.780 Then in other news,

00:48:06.620 Trump joked that he

00:48:07.820 has a person, what he

00:48:08.720 called a personality

00:48:09.520 defect.

00:48:10.580 He says, I don't like

00:48:11.500 anybody that doesn't

00:48:12.420 like me.

00:48:15.380 Now, he is so good

00:48:17.300 at making news with

00:48:18.880 little things that

00:48:19.660 don't matter.

00:48:20.780 Like, almost any time

00:48:21.800 he words things, it's

00:48:23.140 just perfect writing.

00:48:24.700 This is so, it's so

00:48:26.360 hard to look away.

00:48:28.220 Because, on one

00:48:29.740 hand, he didn't say

00:48:30.660 anything, because you

00:48:32.460 and I have the same

00:48:33.200 feeling, right?

00:48:34.120 How many of you love

00:48:35.340 the people who think

00:48:36.140 you're shit?

00:48:37.500 Not most of us.

00:48:39.020 Mostly we like people

00:48:40.320 who like us.

00:48:41.160 I know I do.

00:48:42.240 If somebody likes me,

00:48:43.800 you'd have a hard time

00:48:45.000 talking to me and

00:48:45.680 liking you.

00:48:46.640 That's for sure.

00:48:47.760 But if you don't like

00:48:48.700 me, you think I'm

00:48:51.620 going to say, you

00:48:52.540 know, this person

00:48:53.340 doesn't like me, but

00:48:54.300 I think they're

00:48:55.140 awesome.

00:48:56.020 There are some

00:48:56.960 situations in which I

00:48:58.140 do that.

00:48:59.400 There are some

00:49:00.040 cases where people

00:49:00.920 hate me, but it's

00:49:02.620 not returned, because

00:49:03.880 I think they hate me

00:49:04.620 for reasons that, you

00:49:05.880 know, they're just

00:49:06.280 confused.

00:49:07.240 If they actually knew

00:49:08.320 real facts and still

00:49:09.420 hated me, they're not

00:49:11.040 my friend.

00:49:12.340 But if they've been

00:49:13.780 brainwashed by somebody,

00:49:15.100 you know, I take that

00:49:16.080 into consideration.

00:49:19.140 But anyway, I think

00:49:20.720 he's just like the

00:49:21.680 rest of us, but he

00:49:22.560 says it in a more

00:49:23.360 provocative way.

00:49:24.200 Meanwhile, in

00:49:26.140 Arizona, there was

00:49:27.120 this Democrat

00:49:27.760 campaign office

00:49:29.680 that somebody

00:49:31.880 shot up.

00:49:33.080 So just a few

00:49:33.880 bullets.

00:49:35.060 Nobody was there.

00:49:36.500 And I think that

00:49:37.600 whoever shot it could

00:49:38.800 tell that nobody was

00:49:39.640 there.

00:49:40.060 Maybe it was at

00:49:40.760 night or something.

00:49:42.140 But isn't that

00:49:43.900 convenient?

00:49:45.460 That just when the

00:49:46.620 conversation is,

00:49:48.200 hey, you Democrats

00:49:49.840 keep saying things that

00:49:51.220 get our president

00:49:52.100 shot at.

00:49:53.540 And they don't have a

00:49:54.500 good answer for it

00:49:55.440 because it doesn't seem

00:49:56.880 equivalent in both

00:49:58.040 directions.

00:49:59.400 And then, oh, oh, a

00:50:01.680 mysterious person

00:50:02.740 shoots at a Democrat

00:50:03.860 office in Arizona.

00:50:05.480 Huh.

00:50:06.480 Well, certainly we can

00:50:08.320 add that to our

00:50:09.200 narrative to say that

00:50:10.740 the rhetoric coming

00:50:12.460 from the right is so

00:50:13.940 bad that there's some

00:50:15.900 right wing lunatic,

00:50:18.020 probably a white

00:50:18.880 supremacist, who grabbed

00:50:20.440 his gun, way too

00:50:21.680 many guns, as you've

00:50:22.700 been told by the

00:50:23.300 Democrats, went down

00:50:24.500 to that office and

00:50:25.340 tried to kill some

00:50:26.100 Democrats, and weren't

00:50:27.440 they lucky that none

00:50:28.420 of them were in the

00:50:29.040 office at that time?

00:50:31.240 Does this feel like a

00:50:32.400 real story to you?

00:50:34.500 Or does it sound like

00:50:35.760 it's a little too on

00:50:36.680 the nose?

00:50:38.100 As in it's the perfect

00:50:39.400 story at the perfect

00:50:40.440 time with no victims?

00:50:43.540 That's a little

00:50:44.360 convenient.

00:50:46.160 It's a little bit too

00:50:47.400 convenient.

00:50:47.880 Now, I can't rule out

00:50:50.060 the fact that there

00:50:51.560 was just a crazy

00:50:52.400 person with a gun

00:50:53.360 who doesn't like

00:50:54.460 Democrats, wasn't

00:50:56.240 trying to hurt

00:50:56.840 anybody, but was

00:50:58.380 just being a dick

00:50:59.200 and thought, I'm

00:50:59.900 going to put a

00:51:00.240 couple of bullets

00:51:00.880 through their

00:51:01.380 building just to

00:51:02.420 show them I hate

00:51:03.000 them.

00:51:04.020 No, I can see that.

00:51:05.620 So I'm not saying

00:51:06.300 it's not, I'm not

00:51:07.460 saying it's impossible

00:51:08.600 that some Republican

00:51:10.500 thought, hey, nobody's

00:51:12.180 home, I'm going to put

00:51:12.840 a couple of bullets in

00:51:14.140 their house.

00:51:14.560 I'm not in favor

00:51:16.880 of that, in case

00:51:17.600 you couldn't tell.

00:51:20.920 But it's just a

00:51:22.000 little too close.

00:51:23.400 It's just a little

00:51:24.160 too perfectly timed,

00:51:26.480 perfectly the

00:51:27.160 narrative that the

00:51:28.140 Democrats want.

00:51:30.000 Sorry, I'm not

00:51:31.080 going to buy it.

00:51:32.100 I'm not going to

00:51:32.800 rule out the

00:51:33.520 possibility that it

00:51:35.460 was exactly what it

00:51:36.320 looks like, some

00:51:36.960 Republican wanted to

00:51:38.540 cause some trouble,

00:51:39.540 but I'm not going to

00:51:40.620 buy it.

00:51:41.720 You're going to have

00:51:42.180 to give me a lot

00:51:42.720 more to make me

00:51:43.380 believe this story.

00:51:44.560 All right.

00:51:47.260 Meanwhile, Putin is

00:51:49.040 allegedly quoted, saying

00:51:51.080 that he accused

00:51:52.840 Western elites of

00:51:53.740 cannibalism, claiming

00:51:55.980 that they have grown

00:51:56.800 used to filling their

00:51:57.880 bellies with human

00:51:58.820 flesh and their

00:52:00.240 pockets with money.

00:52:01.940 He further warned

00:52:02.920 that this is a ball or

00:52:04.960 cabal of vampires

00:52:06.400 nearing its end.

00:52:08.560 Hmm.

00:52:09.680 Now, cannibalism.

00:52:11.200 I think he's gone too

00:52:12.620 far.

00:52:12.960 Hmm.

00:52:14.560 Don't you?

00:52:15.980 I mean, we don't

00:52:17.820 actually have

00:52:18.800 cannibalism.

00:52:20.580 I mean, somebody

00:52:21.100 blamed the Haitians,

00:52:22.700 but, you know, there's

00:52:23.840 no evidence of anything

00:52:24.740 like that.

00:52:26.940 But are we getting

00:52:28.620 closer to it?

00:52:30.680 Let's go to the

00:52:31.540 whiteboard and find

00:52:32.560 out.

00:52:32.840 Searchlight Pictures

00:52:36.640 presents

00:52:37.180 The Roses

00:52:37.880 only in theaters

00:52:38.880 August 29th.

00:52:40.080 From the director

00:52:40.860 of Meet the Parents

00:52:41.840 and the writer

00:52:42.560 of Poor Things

00:52:43.440 comes The Roses

00:52:44.540 starring Academy Award

00:52:46.120 winner Olivia

00:52:46.920 Coleman, Academy Award

00:52:48.300 nominee Benedict

00:52:49.220 Cumberbatch, Andy

00:52:50.340 Sandberg, Kate

00:52:51.200 McKinnon, and

00:52:51.940 Allison Janney.

00:52:52.960 A hilarious new

00:52:53.860 comedy filled with

00:52:54.880 drama, excitement,

00:52:56.160 and a little bit of

00:52:57.160 hatred, proving that

00:52:58.240 marriage isn't always

00:52:59.540 a bed of roses.

00:53:00.520 See The Roses

00:53:01.800 only in theaters

00:53:02.600 August 29th.

00:53:03.700 Get tickets now.

00:53:09.060 Are there any

00:53:10.160 forces in the

00:53:12.420 United States that

00:53:13.280 are moving us

00:53:13.840 toward cannibalism?

00:53:14.840 Let's see.

00:53:16.280 The price of

00:53:17.220 groceries is high

00:53:18.960 and people's

00:53:21.660 ability to afford

00:53:22.720 them is worse.

00:53:24.600 At the same time

00:53:25.880 that people in

00:53:26.920 general are getting

00:53:27.680 shittier and

00:53:30.180 at least the

00:53:32.640 Democrats don't

00:53:33.440 care how many

00:53:33.940 Republicans die

00:53:34.940 and probably it's

00:53:36.000 the same on the

00:53:36.580 other side for

00:53:37.160 some people.

00:53:38.860 Now, I think

00:53:39.960 we're probably

00:53:40.740 about here.

00:53:43.480 We're halfway to

00:53:44.600 cannibalism.

00:53:46.220 So if the food

00:53:47.120 continues to get

00:53:48.140 more expensive

00:53:48.760 and your fellow

00:53:50.540 humans continue

00:53:52.000 to suck even

00:53:53.220 more than they

00:53:53.800 do now, you

00:53:55.100 won't mind

00:53:55.660 eating a few

00:53:56.340 to save money

00:53:57.520 on groceries.

00:53:58.000 So I'm going

00:53:59.900 to debunk

00:54:00.540 Putin.

00:54:03.560 We do not

00:54:04.600 have people

00:54:05.160 eating cannibalism.

00:54:06.260 We do not

00:54:07.000 have the elite

00:54:07.680 eating people

00:54:08.380 in this country

00:54:09.100 as far as I

00:54:10.520 know.

00:54:11.840 But we're

00:54:12.460 heading that

00:54:12.880 way.

00:54:13.460 We're heading

00:54:13.960 that way.

00:54:17.140 Anyway,

00:54:18.060 Congress has

00:54:19.500 this bipartisan

00:54:20.300 plan they're

00:54:21.940 promoting to

00:54:23.680 figure out how

00:54:24.500 we could quickly

00:54:25.360 adjust if

00:54:26.600 there's a mass

00:54:27.700 attack on

00:54:28.460 Congress and

00:54:29.140 a bunch of

00:54:29.660 our leaders

00:54:30.160 get killed at

00:54:30.800 the same

00:54:31.120 time.

00:54:33.220 Huh.

00:54:35.360 Huh.

00:54:37.400 What would

00:54:38.200 make that so

00:54:39.060 important lately?

00:54:41.420 Hasn't that been

00:54:42.380 something that

00:54:42.980 would have been

00:54:43.460 important from

00:54:45.660 the moment the

00:54:46.600 atomic bomb was

00:54:47.780 invented?

00:54:50.000 Why is it

00:54:50.880 suddenly in the

00:54:51.640 news and

00:54:52.320 suddenly has

00:54:53.840 bipartisan support?

00:54:55.360 Well, maybe

00:54:57.900 it's just this is

00:54:58.960 when enough

00:55:00.160 people wanted to

00:55:00.880 do it.

00:55:01.320 So it could be

00:55:01.840 just natural.

00:55:03.160 Maybe this is

00:55:03.740 the time.

00:55:05.540 But I love

00:55:06.580 this comment by

00:55:07.420 Liz Crokin on

00:55:09.220 X who said

00:55:10.920 on this story,

00:55:12.420 if every member

00:55:13.040 of Congress who

00:55:13.900 was guilty of

00:55:14.520 crimes related to

00:55:15.760 pedophilia, sex

00:55:16.780 trafficking, and

00:55:17.860 or treason was

00:55:19.060 charged, it would

00:55:20.160 not only wipe out

00:55:21.320 most of Congress,

00:55:22.740 it would wipe out

00:55:23.500 many of the

00:55:23.980 government's

00:55:24.480 employees.

00:55:25.360 Maybe the

00:55:26.380 mass casualty

00:55:27.360 event they're

00:55:27.960 preparing for is

00:55:28.860 justice.

00:55:31.420 Do you think it's

00:55:32.620 possible that the

00:55:35.600 ditty situation

00:55:36.820 goes so deep

00:55:38.460 that it could take

00:55:40.060 out like a

00:55:41.220 quarter of Congress

00:55:42.140 or something?

00:55:43.980 I'm going to say

00:55:44.980 no.

00:55:45.980 I don't think

00:55:46.980 that's a risk.

00:55:48.100 But is there

00:55:49.100 something that

00:55:49.800 Congress knows

00:55:50.620 that we don't?

00:55:51.420 could it be the

00:55:53.260 swarms of drones

00:55:55.280 are making it

00:55:56.380 possible for

00:55:57.180 somebody to take

00:55:57.940 out big parts

00:55:58.640 of Congress?

00:55:59.660 Could there be

00:56:00.280 some credible

00:56:01.200 stories that

00:56:05.000 maybe somebody

00:56:05.620 has a weapon

00:56:06.820 of mass

00:56:07.240 destruction already

00:56:08.200 in the country?

00:56:08.800 What are we not

00:56:11.300 being told?

00:56:12.000 there's a plan

00:56:20.740 according to

00:56:21.220 new scientists

00:56:21.900 there's a plan

00:56:22.700 to refreeze

00:56:23.640 some of the

00:56:24.020 Arctic ice.

00:56:24.680 the climate

00:56:26.360 change people

00:56:28.180 are concerned

00:56:29.400 that the ice

00:56:31.980 is melting

00:56:32.420 and then the

00:56:33.120 water will go

00:56:34.240 up too high

00:56:34.940 and so they

00:56:37.400 figured out a

00:56:38.020 way they're

00:56:38.460 testing it.

00:56:39.680 So they'll pump

00:56:40.340 some seawater

00:56:41.200 and I guess

00:56:42.800 they'll pump it

00:56:43.360 back onto the

00:56:44.240 ice and it

00:56:46.140 will kind of

00:56:46.640 quickly freeze

00:56:47.600 and then they'll

00:56:49.080 build up the

00:56:49.640 ice so that

00:56:51.340 the ice melting

00:56:52.180 is compensated

00:56:53.320 by the amount

00:56:55.000 of water

00:56:55.340 they're putting

00:56:55.760 back in dyes.

00:56:57.280 Does that make

00:56:58.000 sense?

00:57:00.400 Scott is so

00:57:01.300 naive.

00:57:02.920 Let me

00:57:03.500 take a

00:57:04.660 just make a

00:57:06.520 comment to the

00:57:07.480 fucking assholes

00:57:08.320 who are in the

00:57:08.900 comments at the

00:57:09.540 moment.

00:57:11.320 You don't need

00:57:12.240 to tell me

00:57:12.880 that some of our

00:57:14.300 leaders are puppets.

00:57:15.720 If I don't

00:57:16.600 mention it every

00:57:17.520 fucking time I

00:57:18.620 mention them

00:57:19.280 it doesn't mean

00:57:20.320 I'm not aware

00:57:21.260 that there are

00:57:21.900 many forces

00:57:22.580 behind the

00:57:23.300 leaders who

00:57:23.900 are the ones

00:57:24.400 in charge.

00:57:25.380 So you don't

00:57:26.140 need to be a

00:57:26.860 fucking asshole

00:57:27.700 and just say

00:57:28.720 Scott is naive.

00:57:30.440 He does not

00:57:31.080 understand that

00:57:31.900 there are puppets.

00:57:32.940 No, I'm just

00:57:33.480 not going to say

00:57:34.080 every fucking

00:57:35.040 time I mention

00:57:35.820 their name.

00:57:36.560 Okay?

00:57:38.280 If you're new

00:57:39.100 to this,

00:57:39.900 maybe this will

00:57:40.580 be a surprise

00:57:41.160 to you.

00:57:41.700 But if you've

00:57:42.240 been watching me

00:57:42.940 for a while,

00:57:43.420 there's nothing

00:57:43.880 I say more

00:57:44.500 often than we

00:57:45.880 don't know who's

00:57:46.460 making the

00:57:46.960 decisions.

00:57:47.800 So just stop

00:57:48.780 being a dick

00:57:49.620 for half a

00:57:50.860 second.

00:57:51.640 Try to add

00:57:52.200 something to the

00:57:52.840 world instead

00:57:53.360 of being

00:57:53.680 worthless like

00:57:54.940 you are now.

00:57:57.240 Thank you.

00:57:59.340 At least come

00:58:00.220 up with some

00:58:00.780 real thing,

00:58:01.980 just not some

00:58:02.600 he is naive.

00:58:04.560 Scott, the one

00:58:06.040 that bothers me

00:58:06.640 the most is

00:58:07.200 Scott needs

00:58:08.700 to learn from

00:58:09.700 me and take

00:58:10.440 a half day

00:58:10.960 class in

00:58:12.140 everything about

00:58:13.180 chemical

00:58:15.860 something.

00:58:16.940 No, I

00:58:18.460 don't.

00:58:19.620 No, I

00:58:20.040 don't.

00:58:21.080 You're just

00:58:21.680 being a dick.

00:58:23.220 So just stop

00:58:23.880 being a dick.

00:58:24.940 If there's

00:58:25.560 something you

00:58:26.060 think I should

00:58:26.680 know, put it

00:58:27.860 in the comments.

00:58:29.560 If you know

00:58:30.420 something, you

00:58:31.500 could do that.

00:58:32.420 If you don't

00:58:33.200 fucking know

00:58:33.920 anything, you

00:58:35.060 can't put it in

00:58:35.780 the comments and

00:58:36.420 you can just

00:58:36.900 say, oh, Scott

00:58:37.960 is so naive.

00:58:39.260 He's so naive.

00:58:39.980 He does not

00:58:40.440 understand the

00:58:41.060 things that I

00:58:41.600 know because I

00:58:42.620 know things.

00:58:43.040 I read a

00:58:43.500 story once.

00:58:45.280 All right.

00:58:47.460 So anyway,

00:58:48.340 there's a plan

00:58:48.940 to refreeze

00:58:49.760 the ice.

00:58:53.060 Meanwhile,

00:58:55.140 according to

00:58:55.900 Real Climate

00:58:56.420 Science, there's

00:58:57.420 a record

00:58:59.280 increase in

00:59:00.720 ice in

00:59:02.780 September.

00:59:05.000 So one

00:59:05.820 story is we've

00:59:07.100 got to figure

00:59:07.580 out how to

00:59:08.020 make more

00:59:08.440 ice.

00:59:09.220 The other

00:59:09.880 story is, my

00:59:10.920 God, there's a

00:59:11.560 lot of ice

00:59:12.020 being made in

00:59:12.760 the first

00:59:13.120 three weeks

00:59:13.620 of September.

00:59:14.740 Now, it

00:59:15.440 has been going

00:59:16.020 down, the

00:59:17.660 amount of

00:59:18.040 ice, so

00:59:18.700 September is

00:59:19.400 an outlier, so

00:59:20.660 you can't make

00:59:21.160 any judgments

00:59:21.780 about, you

00:59:22.440 know, one

00:59:22.720 month.

00:59:23.820 But Mexico,

00:59:26.100 this will seem

00:59:27.300 like an

00:59:27.740 unrelated story,

00:59:28.880 but watch me

00:59:29.480 tie it all

00:59:30.540 together.

00:59:32.160 So Mexico is

00:59:32.940 building an

00:59:33.740 alternative to

00:59:34.760 the Panama

00:59:35.200 Canal.

00:59:36.700 So it's

00:59:37.340 going to be a

00:59:37.880 land route

00:59:38.720 across a thin

00:59:39.980 part of Mexico,

00:59:40.860 so you could

00:59:42.140 unload your

00:59:42.680 boats onto,

00:59:43.880 I guess,

00:59:44.500 trains, and

00:59:45.220 then the

00:59:45.500 trains would

00:59:45.940 take it to

00:59:46.360 the other

00:59:46.640 side.

00:59:47.580 And if they

00:59:48.280 can get the

00:59:48.740 economics right

00:59:49.520 and build

00:59:49.900 this thing,

00:59:51.100 they can

00:59:51.480 compete with

00:59:52.100 the Panama

00:59:52.580 Canal.

00:59:53.500 Now, you

00:59:53.820 might say,

00:59:54.360 but why not

00:59:54.940 just use the

00:59:55.800 Panama Canal?

00:59:58.100 What's wrong

00:59:58.700 with the

00:59:58.940 Panama Canal?

01:00:00.060 Well, there

01:00:00.980 are a few

01:00:01.300 problems with

01:00:02.780 the Panama

01:00:03.260 Canal at the

01:00:04.360 moment.

01:00:05.220 Number one,

01:00:06.060 there are a

01:00:06.400 lot of ships

01:00:06.860 that want to

01:00:07.280 go through,

01:00:07.920 so there's

01:00:08.800 just congestion.

01:00:10.100 number two,

01:00:13.880 the Panama

01:00:14.580 Canal is

01:00:15.220 not as

01:00:15.680 efficient as

01:00:16.360 it used to

01:00:16.800 be because

01:00:17.880 the water

01:00:18.420 levels are

01:00:19.020 too low.

01:00:22.640 Wait, what?

01:00:24.760 So in the

01:00:25.540 real world,

01:00:27.140 the Panama

01:00:28.240 Canal, which

01:00:30.140 is all about

01:00:30.780 the ocean,

01:00:31.880 I don't think

01:00:33.720 they're pumping

01:00:34.160 in the water

01:00:34.700 from a lake,

01:00:35.940 are they?

01:00:37.020 When they

01:00:37.780 do the

01:00:38.320 canal, what

01:00:39.860 do you call

01:00:40.360 those things,

01:00:41.140 the little

01:00:42.000 things that

01:00:42.440 fill up with

01:00:42.980 water so

01:00:43.580 you can

01:00:43.820 raise the

01:00:44.340 ship, I

01:00:44.780 forget what

01:00:45.180 the locks,

01:00:48.320 that's

01:00:49.060 seawater.

01:00:50.560 Are you

01:00:50.860 telling me

01:00:51.240 that down

01:00:51.580 in Mexico

01:00:52.080 they're running

01:00:52.620 out of sea?

01:00:54.160 The water

01:00:55.260 level is too

01:00:56.020 low for the

01:00:56.640 Panama Canal

01:00:57.300 to work well?

01:00:58.520 What happened

01:00:59.000 to all that

01:01:00.040 ice that

01:01:00.440 melted in?

01:01:02.700 One of the

01:01:04.120 things I think

01:01:04.700 about the

01:01:05.120 ocean is

01:01:06.360 that once

01:01:06.700 the water

01:01:07.080 gets in

01:01:07.520 there, you

01:01:07.840 can't really

01:01:08.260 stop where

01:01:08.740 it goes.

01:01:10.320 Again, no

01:01:11.200 walls in the

01:01:11.780 ocean.

01:01:12.660 Now, I do

01:01:13.160 understand that

01:01:14.780 there are other

01:01:15.260 factors that

01:01:15.920 can make the

01:01:16.440 sea level

01:01:16.940 change.

01:01:17.400 For example,

01:01:18.840 the moon's

01:01:20.180 position, and

01:01:21.360 if it's

01:01:22.440 warmer in

01:01:23.100 some places,

01:01:24.240 just the

01:01:25.280 warmth itself

01:01:25.860 makes everything

01:01:26.840 larger, including

01:01:28.280 the water

01:01:29.420 volume, I

01:01:31.220 guess.

01:01:32.220 So there

01:01:33.460 are other

01:01:33.840 factors.

01:01:34.460 besides just

01:01:35.520 the melting

01:01:35.940 ice.

01:01:36.980 But it

01:01:37.440 is kind of

01:01:37.860 interesting that

01:01:38.540 somebody's

01:01:38.960 spending a

01:01:40.260 lot of money

01:01:40.760 to figure out

01:01:41.580 how to create

01:01:42.160 more ice at

01:01:43.060 the same month

01:01:43.740 that we have a

01:01:44.420 record amount

01:01:44.980 of ice, and

01:01:45.980 Mexico is

01:01:46.620 complaining about

01:01:47.400 not enough ice

01:01:48.380 has melted to

01:01:49.160 give them water

01:01:50.100 in the ocean,

01:01:50.920 I guess.

01:01:51.960 I added the

01:01:52.540 ice part.

01:01:53.140 They didn't

01:01:53.440 complain about

01:01:53.960 that.

01:01:55.820 Anyway,

01:01:57.260 Attorney Jeff

01:01:58.360 Clark, who

01:01:59.040 was one of

01:01:59.760 President Trump's

01:02:00.920 lawyers during

01:02:02.480 the January

01:02:03.000 6th era, is

01:02:06.080 pointing out

01:02:06.720 that there's

01:02:08.240 no evidence

01:02:08.880 that Kamala

01:02:09.480 Harris ever

01:02:10.120 tried a case

01:02:11.080 like in

01:02:13.380 court.

01:02:14.820 Now, she was

01:02:15.700 the boss of

01:02:17.160 some cases that

01:02:17.940 happened, because

01:02:19.660 it was her job

01:02:20.400 to be the DA,

01:02:21.780 but there's no

01:02:22.480 evidence that she

01:02:23.220 ever tried a

01:02:23.960 case.

01:02:24.280 Now, that

01:02:25.980 doesn't mean she

01:02:26.480 didn't, but

01:02:28.000 Jeff Clark

01:02:28.800 said it in

01:02:29.400 public and

01:02:30.100 invited people

01:02:31.240 to prove him

01:02:31.820 wrong, and

01:02:33.420 nobody did.

01:02:35.720 So, there's

01:02:36.760 actually no

01:02:37.440 evidence she's

01:02:39.040 ever prosecuted

01:02:40.000 anyone in

01:02:41.200 court, herself.

01:02:42.580 She was the

01:02:43.040 boss when

01:02:43.520 somebody did

01:02:44.040 it.

01:02:45.880 Andrew Cuomo,

01:02:47.180 you remember

01:02:47.740 him, once the

01:02:49.360 governor of New

01:02:50.180 York, but then

01:02:51.320 disgraced by

01:02:52.460 MeToo-isms.

01:02:53.220 And, by

01:02:56.280 the way, when

01:02:56.640 I say

01:02:56.940 disgraced, since

01:02:59.040 I call myself

01:02:59.760 disgraced, I'm

01:03:00.760 just using it

01:03:01.380 ironically.

01:03:03.600 Anyway, he

01:03:04.320 said in a

01:03:04.940 speech recently

01:03:05.780 that, quote,

01:03:07.500 defund the

01:03:08.140 police was

01:03:09.260 the dumbest

01:03:10.400 words ever

01:03:11.040 uttered.

01:03:12.180 He said that

01:03:12.720 in Brooklyn.

01:03:13.820 So, it's good

01:03:14.620 to know that

01:03:16.260 Kamala Harris'

01:03:17.400 idea, one of

01:03:18.620 the things she's

01:03:19.080 famous for

01:03:19.600 saying, is

01:03:21.020 according to

01:03:21.660 one of the

01:03:22.000 most prominent

01:03:22.760 and smartest

01:03:23.980 Republicans, the

01:03:26.280 dumbest words

01:03:26.940 ever uttered.

01:03:29.680 So, I think

01:03:31.440 we're seeing

01:03:31.900 more people

01:03:32.540 crossing over

01:03:33.500 their party

01:03:34.100 this time than

01:03:35.580 ever before.

01:03:36.880 Aren't we?

01:03:38.120 Because the

01:03:38.960 Democrats do, in

01:03:40.160 fact, have a

01:03:40.760 whole bunch of

01:03:41.540 former Republicans

01:03:43.120 who are endorsing

01:03:43.900 Harris, mostly

01:03:44.740 just anti-Trumpers.

01:03:46.520 And now we see,

01:03:47.840 I feel like there's

01:03:48.640 a whole bunch of

01:03:49.160 people who had

01:03:50.500 at one point

01:03:51.180 identified as

01:03:52.100 a Democrat

01:03:52.640 who switched

01:03:53.580 over.

01:03:54.620 I've never

01:03:55.080 seen so much

01:03:55.680 switching.

01:03:57.120 A whole bunch

01:03:57.640 of switching.

01:03:58.840 What's that

01:03:59.460 about?

01:04:00.640 Do you think

01:04:01.160 that's just

01:04:01.660 the general

01:04:03.120 people wising

01:04:04.420 up that their

01:04:05.180 own team is

01:04:05.920 lying to them?

01:04:06.820 So, maybe the

01:04:07.400 other team is

01:04:07.980 lying less?

01:04:09.780 I'm not sure

01:04:10.240 what that's

01:04:10.620 about.

01:04:12.400 But it probably

01:04:12.920 has mostly to

01:04:13.660 do with, you

01:04:14.420 know, Trump

01:04:15.020 being unusually

01:04:16.040 provocative.

01:04:16.600 Meanwhile, according

01:04:18.740 to Just the

01:04:19.560 News, Newsom

01:04:21.880 was bragging

01:04:22.680 that some new

01:04:23.620 crime stats came

01:04:24.540 out.

01:04:24.880 He said in a

01:04:26.580 post, new

01:04:27.840 violent crime

01:04:28.560 dropped across

01:04:29.600 America last

01:04:30.440 year.

01:04:31.300 And Newsom

01:04:31.760 said, can't

01:04:32.860 wait to see

01:04:33.500 the Fox News

01:04:34.440 coverage of

01:04:35.100 this.

01:04:36.700 Well, maybe

01:04:38.780 you shouldn't

01:04:39.220 be so happy

01:04:40.000 about how

01:04:40.440 they're going

01:04:40.740 to cover

01:04:41.060 this.

01:04:42.620 Because it

01:04:43.380 turns out,

01:04:44.060 according to

01:04:44.500 Just the

01:04:45.040 News, that

01:04:46.580 that was

01:04:48.640 for the

01:04:48.960 country.

01:04:49.420 It wasn't

01:04:49.720 for California.

01:04:52.400 So, property

01:04:56.340 crime did

01:04:58.100 decline, even

01:04:59.020 in California.

01:05:00.400 But violent

01:05:02.140 crime is up

01:05:03.300 3.6%, and

01:05:04.820 the value of

01:05:05.460 cars stolen

01:05:06.240 in California

01:05:07.020 was over

01:05:08.240 $2 billion

01:05:09.100 last year.

01:05:12.320 Do you

01:05:13.000 know how

01:05:13.260 much that

01:05:13.760 is?

01:05:14.960 $2 billion

01:05:16.400 worth of

01:05:17.380 automobiles

01:05:18.060 were stolen

01:05:18.700 in one

01:05:19.720 year in

01:05:20.980 one state.

01:05:22.140 $2 billion.

01:05:26.900 So, you

01:05:27.820 know, I had

01:05:28.760 to, like,

01:05:29.240 take measures

01:05:30.020 to make sure

01:05:30.600 my car didn't

01:05:31.260 get stolen.

01:05:32.140 Never had to

01:05:32.680 do that

01:05:33.020 before.

01:05:34.380 Now, it

01:05:35.040 turns out

01:05:35.520 that a

01:05:37.460 large portion

01:05:38.020 of the

01:05:38.440 increase in

01:05:39.080 violent crimes

01:05:39.900 was in

01:05:41.400 one county.

01:05:42.120 there was

01:05:43.520 one county.

01:05:44.480 What was it

01:05:45.320 about this

01:05:45.820 one county

01:05:46.580 that was

01:05:47.000 different?

01:05:49.200 As a

01:05:50.000 famous

01:05:50.460 Soros-funded

01:05:52.180 prosecutor, who

01:05:53.800 was the

01:05:54.120 subject of a

01:05:54.880 recall movement,

01:05:55.780 I don't know

01:05:56.080 if it worked.

01:05:58.480 So, the

01:05:59.280 Soros

01:05:59.620 prosecutor

01:06:00.260 comes in,

01:06:01.980 and then my

01:06:02.700 county, this

01:06:03.400 is where I

01:06:03.900 live, by the

01:06:04.540 way, this

01:06:04.880 is my

01:06:05.240 county.

01:06:06.220 So, my

01:06:06.700 county went

01:06:07.840 from just

01:06:08.380 about the

01:06:08.780 safest place

01:06:09.500 you could

01:06:09.780 ever be,

01:06:10.260 at least

01:06:10.540 in my

01:06:10.980 portion of

01:06:11.520 it, because

01:06:11.920 I think it

01:06:12.400 includes

01:06:12.800 Oakland, which

01:06:13.600 is the

01:06:13.940 least safe.

01:06:14.800 But where

01:06:15.240 I live, I

01:06:17.400 chose it

01:06:17.920 because it

01:06:18.280 was the

01:06:18.580 safest place

01:06:19.260 I could

01:06:19.580 go, and

01:06:20.200 at the

01:06:20.460 time, I

01:06:20.940 could go

01:06:21.280 anywhere I

01:06:21.700 wanted.

01:06:22.780 Well, I

01:06:23.200 mean, I

01:06:23.660 had reasons

01:06:24.240 to be in

01:06:24.760 Pleasanton.

01:06:28.260 So, it

01:06:29.080 turns out

01:06:29.640 that Soros

01:06:31.020 has destroyed

01:06:31.920 my county

01:06:32.580 with his

01:06:34.080 funded

01:06:34.520 prosecutor,

01:06:36.160 and it's

01:06:37.760 such a big

01:06:38.320 effect that

01:06:39.160 it's affecting

01:06:39.860 the stats

01:06:40.500 in California

01:06:41.320 and might

01:06:42.380 even affect

01:06:43.040 the national

01:06:43.780 race, because

01:06:45.760 if people are

01:06:46.380 saying that

01:06:46.980 the Soros

01:06:47.860 prosecutors and

01:06:49.120 the Democrats

01:06:49.720 are causing

01:06:50.320 this, they're

01:06:51.460 going to vote

01:06:51.820 accordingly.

01:06:53.380 So, the

01:06:54.680 Soros

01:06:55.480 prosecutor in

01:06:56.460 my county

01:06:57.200 might be

01:07:00.360 enough to

01:07:00.900 get Trump

01:07:01.440 elected,

01:07:02.100 basically.

01:07:04.220 Well, speaking

01:07:05.400 of getting

01:07:06.900 elected, Scott

01:07:08.220 Pressler,

01:07:09.160 who has

01:07:10.880 been

01:07:11.080 registering

01:07:11.660 people to

01:07:12.320 vote like

01:07:12.820 crazy and

01:07:13.720 focused on

01:07:14.720 Pennsylvania,

01:07:16.160 because that's

01:07:16.640 the, everybody

01:07:17.620 says, is the

01:07:18.380 most important

01:07:19.020 state.

01:07:19.480 Whoever wins

01:07:20.000 that will

01:07:20.340 probably win

01:07:21.560 the election.

01:07:22.820 Not for

01:07:23.540 sure, but it

01:07:25.140 seems to be a

01:07:26.140 key state or

01:07:26.780 the key state.

01:07:27.500 And he says

01:07:29.280 that as of

01:07:30.800 yesterday, he

01:07:32.360 flipped

01:07:32.820 Luzerne County

01:07:34.020 in Pennsylvania

01:07:34.860 by flipped

01:07:36.180 meaning that

01:07:37.000 more registered

01:07:37.800 voters are

01:07:38.920 Republican than

01:07:39.980 Democrat.

01:07:41.280 Now, that's

01:07:43.900 a really big

01:07:44.420 deal.

01:07:46.020 It could be

01:07:47.500 that Scott

01:07:48.180 Pressler is the

01:07:49.120 one who decided

01:07:49.900 who got

01:07:50.360 elected.

01:07:50.660 Isn't that

01:07:52.460 weird?

01:07:53.740 You know,

01:07:54.780 you always hear

01:07:56.320 this one

01:07:57.880 person can't

01:07:58.600 make a

01:07:58.920 difference thing.

01:08:01.640 Really?

01:08:03.360 Scott

01:08:03.860 Pressler may

01:08:04.460 have just

01:08:04.760 won the

01:08:05.240 election for

01:08:05.780 Trump and

01:08:06.440 saved the

01:08:06.900 world.

01:08:08.020 He may have

01:08:08.840 just done

01:08:09.240 this by

01:08:09.620 himself.

01:08:10.180 I mean, he

01:08:10.520 got lots of

01:08:11.140 people to

01:08:11.460 help, but

01:08:12.200 they wouldn't

01:08:12.560 have been

01:08:12.780 helping if

01:08:13.300 he had not

01:08:13.700 been the

01:08:14.080 organizer and

01:08:14.840 the force

01:08:15.320 of nature

01:08:15.720 that he

01:08:16.060 is.

01:08:17.380 So, can

01:08:18.640 one person

01:08:19.240 change the

01:08:19.800 world?

01:08:20.940 He may

01:08:21.580 have.

01:08:23.040 He may

01:08:23.700 have.

01:08:24.840 Isn't that

01:08:25.260 cool?

01:08:26.560 And he did

01:08:27.300 it all the

01:08:27.880 right way.

01:08:29.020 Followed the

01:08:29.600 rules.

01:08:30.640 Worked hard.

01:08:31.940 You know, was

01:08:32.240 a good person.

01:08:33.580 Tried to make

01:08:34.100 everything better.

01:08:35.540 Now, we don't

01:08:36.200 know how this

01:08:36.740 is going to go

01:08:37.260 yet.

01:08:38.700 But yeah, one

01:08:39.520 person can

01:08:40.040 change the

01:08:40.440 world.

01:08:41.900 They can.

01:08:44.840 Well, the

01:08:45.640 Telegram app, as

01:08:46.860 you know, their

01:08:47.360 CEO was picked

01:08:48.240 up in France and

01:08:49.480 they were going

01:08:49.780 to charge him

01:08:50.340 with stuff if

01:08:51.060 he didn't do

01:08:51.460 what they

01:08:51.700 wanted.

01:08:52.740 But one of

01:08:53.560 the things I

01:08:53.920 guess they

01:08:54.220 wanted was

01:08:55.240 that now

01:08:56.340 Telegram has

01:08:57.080 agreed it's

01:08:57.900 going to provide

01:08:58.440 more data to

01:08:59.200 governments,

01:09:00.460 including the

01:09:01.180 users, IP

01:09:01.960 addresses, and

01:09:02.800 phone numbers.

01:09:04.180 Only if there's

01:09:05.100 a valid legal

01:09:05.860 request, which

01:09:07.660 is, you know,

01:09:08.460 a pretty big

01:09:08.940 category.

01:09:10.740 And that's

01:09:11.520 according to

01:09:11.940 the CEO.

01:09:13.160 Now, as

01:09:14.200 Mike Benz

01:09:15.360 likes to

01:09:15.920 remind us,

01:09:17.620 this is how

01:09:18.540 the United

01:09:19.060 States

01:09:19.540 controls free

01:09:20.920 speech.

01:09:21.860 It gets

01:09:22.640 international

01:09:23.660 entities to

01:09:25.900 do on our

01:09:26.920 behalf what

01:09:27.740 we can't do

01:09:28.400 legally because

01:09:29.220 we're supposed

01:09:29.800 to be the

01:09:30.160 First Amendment

01:09:30.720 people.

01:09:32.100 But they do

01:09:33.140 need to, you

01:09:34.540 know, our

01:09:34.840 intelligence people

01:09:35.640 apparently need to

01:09:36.640 control all forms

01:09:37.780 of communication.

01:09:40.100 And this is

01:09:43.240 part of it.

01:09:43.700 So you should

01:09:45.520 assume that all

01:09:46.420 communication

01:09:47.320 channels are

01:09:48.360 accessed by the

01:09:49.400 government

01:09:49.760 completely at

01:09:52.340 this point.

01:09:52.920 I think that's

01:09:53.400 the fair

01:09:55.020 assumption.

01:09:57.200 Meanwhile, New

01:09:58.160 York Post is

01:09:58.960 reporting that

01:10:00.200 you may have

01:10:01.280 heard the story

01:10:01.880 that Soros,

01:10:03.260 George Soros,

01:10:03.960 was trying to

01:10:04.500 buy 200 radio

01:10:06.560 stations that

01:10:08.380 would go to

01:10:08.920 165 million

01:10:10.220 Americans.

01:10:10.720 Now, Soros

01:10:13.860 owning a radio

01:10:15.040 station and

01:10:15.800 that much

01:10:16.180 media just

01:10:17.620 automatically

01:10:18.400 raises every

01:10:19.340 red flag in

01:10:20.060 the world

01:10:20.400 because if you

01:10:21.120 can control

01:10:21.860 the media and

01:10:22.840 communication,

01:10:24.100 you kind of

01:10:24.760 control the

01:10:25.340 country.

01:10:26.820 Now, you

01:10:27.100 could argue,

01:10:28.180 but Rupert

01:10:29.600 Murdoch, he's

01:10:30.580 not an American

01:10:31.240 and he owns

01:10:32.480 Fox News and

01:10:33.320 they're very

01:10:33.700 influential and

01:10:34.780 that's a good

01:10:35.280 point.

01:10:35.680 except, as

01:10:37.140 far as I

01:10:37.640 know, Rupert

01:10:40.600 Murdoch wants

01:10:41.280 what's good for

01:10:41.940 America.

01:10:44.520 I'm pretty

01:10:45.200 sure that he

01:10:46.360 never wakes up

01:10:47.260 and says,

01:10:47.960 you know, I

01:10:48.300 want to destroy

01:10:48.980 America today.

01:10:50.200 It looks like

01:10:51.060 the opposite,

01:10:52.060 like he'd very

01:10:52.780 much like America

01:10:53.660 to do well

01:10:54.380 because it's,

01:10:54.960 you know, one

01:10:55.220 of the places

01:10:55.700 he has a lot

01:10:56.240 of business.

01:10:57.740 And so, but,

01:11:00.520 you know, the

01:11:00.900 the way the

01:11:02.380 government works,

01:11:03.140 it's going to

01:11:03.580 take forever

01:11:04.360 to approve

01:11:05.580 a thing like

01:11:06.100 this.

01:11:06.420 I mean, it

01:11:06.720 could take

01:11:07.200 take up to

01:11:08.540 a year to

01:11:09.880 get a thing

01:11:10.240 like this

01:11:10.640 approved.

01:11:11.660 So, I guess

01:11:12.420 he's just

01:11:12.860 going to have

01:11:13.200 to wait a

01:11:13.840 year while

01:11:15.120 the government

01:11:15.680 chugs through

01:11:17.000 and tries to

01:11:17.660 do his thing

01:11:18.280 and all this

01:11:18.720 money's on the

01:11:19.380 line, but the

01:11:19.960 poor bastard,

01:11:21.140 he's just

01:11:21.500 going to have

01:11:21.800 to wait a

01:11:22.320 year just

01:11:22.760 like everyone.

01:11:24.840 Oh, update,

01:11:25.980 three Democrat

01:11:27.720 commissioners

01:11:28.720 voted the

01:11:30.280 two Republicans

01:11:31.120 on the FCC

01:11:33.440 and said

01:11:34.580 he can

01:11:35.040 speed that

01:11:35.860 up and

01:11:36.440 the foreign

01:11:37.800 company ownership

01:11:38.820 of the U.S.

01:11:39.740 radio stations,

01:11:40.920 that'll be fine.

01:11:42.060 He'll just make

01:11:42.560 an exception.

01:11:43.580 Yeah, it's not,

01:11:44.480 we don't normally

01:11:45.300 allow that to

01:11:46.640 be more than

01:11:47.100 25% stake,

01:11:48.740 but, you know,

01:11:49.200 that's fine.

01:11:49.920 We'll not only

01:11:50.740 approve it,

01:11:51.960 which we wouldn't

01:11:53.200 normally approve,

01:11:54.300 but we'll rush

01:11:55.360 it.

01:11:56.340 We'll not only

01:11:57.300 approve it,

01:11:58.580 which is an

01:11:59.220 exception,

01:11:59.640 because we're

01:12:00.600 not supposed

01:12:01.000 to approve

01:12:01.440 that much

01:12:01.900 foreign ownership

01:12:02.780 of an American

01:12:03.520 entity like

01:12:04.220 that,

01:12:04.900 media entity.

01:12:07.420 And so that

01:12:08.260 just happened

01:12:08.820 by a

01:12:11.020 partisan vote

01:12:12.140 of Democrats

01:12:13.700 outvoting

01:12:14.320 Republicans.

01:12:16.680 Now, you know

01:12:17.500 why there will

01:12:18.040 be no outrage

01:12:18.980 about this

01:12:19.720 story?

01:12:21.760 I'll be a

01:12:22.600 broken record

01:12:23.240 because it's

01:12:24.540 complicated.

01:12:25.700 You'd have to

01:12:26.460 know the players

01:12:27.240 and all the

01:12:27.780 implications

01:12:28.300 and you'd

01:12:29.360 have to know

01:12:29.740 the history

01:12:30.280 and you'd

01:12:30.720 have to know

01:12:31.080 it's unusual.

01:12:31.920 You'd have to

01:12:32.280 know what the

01:12:32.660 law is that

01:12:33.340 they're taking

01:12:33.720 the exception

01:12:34.220 to.

01:12:35.300 And then you'd

01:12:36.080 have to compare

01:12:36.740 it to the

01:12:37.380 50 other stories

01:12:38.580 that are complicated

01:12:39.460 in the news

01:12:40.380 today.

01:12:41.320 You don't have

01:12:42.320 enough outrage

01:12:42.980 for this one.

01:12:44.660 This should be

01:12:45.680 a source of

01:12:47.740 great national

01:12:48.700 outrage.

01:12:49.780 It won't be

01:12:50.720 because,

01:12:52.040 first of all,

01:12:52.380 the Democrats

01:12:52.900 control the media.

01:12:53.800 and, second

01:12:55.440 of all,

01:12:56.740 we're just

01:12:57.280 too busy.

01:12:58.420 Just too many

01:12:59.380 outrageous things.

01:13:00.320 This won't even

01:13:00.740 get your attention.

01:13:02.340 So Soros is

01:13:03.140 basically controlling

01:13:05.060 the crime level

01:13:07.180 in my town

01:13:07.960 and now he's

01:13:10.080 going to take

01:13:10.520 over the minds

01:13:11.660 and directly

01:13:12.640 brainwash

01:13:13.900 American citizens.

01:13:17.020 And we're

01:13:17.520 just, hey,

01:13:18.780 yeah, go ahead.

01:13:19.840 We'll make an

01:13:20.440 exception.

01:13:21.100 No problem.

01:13:23.800 At Grey Goose,

01:13:24.980 we believe that

01:13:25.600 pleasure is a

01:13:26.340 necessity.

01:13:27.460 That's why we

01:13:27.960 craft the world's

01:13:28.780 number one

01:13:29.320 premium vodka

01:13:30.020 in France,

01:13:30.900 using only three

01:13:31.680 of the finest

01:13:32.380 natural ingredients,

01:13:33.860 French winter wheat,

01:13:35.080 water from

01:13:35.640 Jeansac,

01:13:36.360 and yeast.

01:13:39.100 With Grey Goose,

01:13:40.480 we invite you

01:13:41.160 to live in the

01:13:41.800 moment and make

01:13:42.740 time wait.

01:13:43.740 Sip responsibly.

01:13:48.820 Meanwhile,

01:13:49.600 Trump says he

01:13:50.260 plans on deporting

01:13:51.220 over half a million

01:13:52.060 migrants.

01:13:53.800 And I think

01:13:57.400 he's talking

01:13:57.780 about the

01:13:58.220 Haitians

01:13:58.720 specifically.

01:14:00.260 Ship them back

01:14:01.040 to Haiti as

01:14:02.000 soon as he's

01:14:02.460 in power.

01:14:03.840 Now, I don't

01:14:04.640 know if that's

01:14:05.060 a good idea

01:14:05.540 or a bad

01:14:05.880 idea.

01:14:07.460 Again, because

01:14:08.260 it's complicated.

01:14:09.780 If 80% of

01:14:12.500 those Haitian

01:14:13.600 migrants already

01:14:14.500 have a job,

01:14:16.220 because there

01:14:16.680 are companies

01:14:17.160 that are just

01:14:17.620 begging for

01:14:18.740 low-end

01:14:19.380 employees, I

01:14:20.880 don't know if

01:14:21.240 they should be

01:14:21.640 top of the

01:14:22.200 list.

01:14:22.540 if they're

01:14:24.040 already employed

01:14:24.760 and the

01:14:25.180 company needs

01:14:25.740 them.

01:14:26.580 But, you

01:14:27.700 know, the

01:14:27.880 20% that

01:14:29.780 don't have a

01:14:30.280 job, there

01:14:30.820 must be a

01:14:31.220 reason for

01:14:31.580 that.

01:14:32.560 So, maybe

01:14:33.360 our priorities

01:14:35.940 should be

01:14:36.420 different.

01:14:37.580 You know, if I

01:14:38.520 were to

01:14:39.020 predict what

01:14:40.220 would really

01:14:40.620 happen if

01:14:41.380 Trump gets

01:14:41.820 elected, I

01:14:43.320 think he

01:14:43.640 would first

01:14:44.040 just, you

01:14:44.500 know, close

01:14:45.060 the asylum

01:14:45.860 door.

01:14:46.500 and the

01:14:48.380 moment they

01:14:49.020 stop coming

01:14:49.860 in, your

01:14:51.800 comfort with

01:14:55.300 the world is

01:14:55.900 going to

01:14:56.160 completely

01:14:56.520 change.

01:14:57.920 So, you

01:14:58.760 think that

01:14:59.320 there are two

01:14:59.880 issues that are

01:15:00.540 basically tightly

01:15:01.400 linked.

01:15:02.220 One is that too

01:15:03.060 many people are

01:15:03.660 coming in every

01:15:04.280 day, and the

01:15:05.540 other is that too

01:15:06.580 many are already

01:15:07.200 here.

01:15:08.320 But if you

01:15:09.100 solve the first

01:15:10.020 one, about too

01:15:11.780 many people coming

01:15:12.600 in every day,

01:15:13.740 you're concerned

01:15:14.580 about the ones

01:15:15.240 who have already

01:15:15.680 come in, even

01:15:16.400 20 million of

01:15:17.300 them, will

01:15:18.660 instantly go to

01:15:19.540 half.

01:15:21.580 Because you're

01:15:22.180 saying, okay,

01:15:22.860 we'll chug

01:15:24.220 through this.

01:15:25.100 You know, we'll,

01:15:26.280 by the second

01:15:26.980 generation, we'll

01:15:28.000 probably be fine.

01:15:29.360 You know, so you

01:15:30.220 would basically be

01:15:31.280 able to live with

01:15:31.920 it.

01:15:34.460 Now, let's say

01:15:35.300 that Trump

01:15:36.800 decided not just

01:15:38.100 closing the

01:15:38.780 asylum door, but

01:15:40.620 that he would, in

01:15:41.380 fact, be very

01:15:42.020 aggressive in

01:15:42.640 deporting.

01:15:43.240 I think he will

01:15:43.740 be.

01:15:43.980 But where do

01:15:45.080 you start?

01:15:46.420 If you put all

01:15:47.600 of your energy

01:15:48.300 into just deporting

01:15:49.440 the people who

01:15:50.060 are clearly

01:15:50.700 criminals, it

01:15:52.280 would take all

01:15:52.860 of your resources.

01:15:54.240 And that's where

01:15:55.060 you should put

01:15:55.520 them.

01:15:56.260 Nobody would

01:15:56.920 argue.

01:15:57.800 Nobody would

01:15:58.420 argue with

01:15:58.940 putting all

01:15:59.460 your resources,

01:16:00.920 100% of it,

01:16:02.480 on just getting

01:16:03.080 criminals first.

01:16:04.760 And that could

01:16:05.560 take a few

01:16:06.040 years.

01:16:07.000 If you put 100%

01:16:08.660 of your resources

01:16:09.660 into just the

01:16:10.780 criminals, years,

01:16:13.040 it would take

01:16:13.420 years.

01:16:14.520 And when

01:16:15.100 you're done

01:16:15.440 with that,

01:16:16.600 let's say it's

01:16:17.240 three years from

01:16:18.280 the beginning of

01:16:19.180 the Trump

01:16:19.540 presidency, let's

01:16:20.940 say he's got

01:16:21.420 one year left

01:16:22.300 and he doesn't

01:16:23.740 want to go out

01:16:24.300 as a monster.

01:16:26.020 And the

01:16:26.700 complaining about

01:16:27.640 the number of

01:16:28.500 immigrants who

01:16:29.160 are already

01:16:29.680 here, now

01:16:30.480 that maybe

01:16:31.000 they've been

01:16:31.360 working for

01:16:32.000 five years and

01:16:33.660 have a job and

01:16:34.360 they're paying

01:16:34.720 taxes, how much

01:16:36.840 are you really

01:16:37.560 going to want

01:16:38.000 them to be

01:16:38.440 deported?

01:16:38.860 some of you

01:16:41.160 are going to

01:16:41.460 say yes on

01:16:42.080 principle, I

01:16:43.200 get it.

01:16:44.200 Some of you

01:16:44.880 are going to

01:16:45.180 say they're

01:16:45.820 criminals, they're

01:16:47.160 all criminals, so

01:16:48.580 you've got to send

01:16:49.040 them back.

01:16:49.900 But they're not

01:16:50.480 all criminals,

01:16:51.280 remember.

01:16:52.060 The ones who

01:16:52.540 come through the

01:16:53.140 asylum gate, which

01:16:54.460 is the big one,

01:16:55.920 they are illegal

01:16:56.700 because the

01:16:58.320 asylum process

01:16:59.420 processed them and

01:17:00.760 they're just waiting

01:17:01.340 for the process to

01:17:02.260 continue.

01:17:02.600 Now, you might

01:17:03.640 not like it, but

01:17:05.660 most of the people

01:17:06.400 coming in are

01:17:07.140 coming in under

01:17:07.840 the umbrella of

01:17:09.600 U.S. law as

01:17:11.940 it's interpreted at

01:17:12.880 the moment.

01:17:13.720 So my prediction

01:17:14.400 is that he will

01:17:15.480 go hard at

01:17:16.320 deportations, but

01:17:17.780 it will take all

01:17:18.620 of his energy to

01:17:19.760 keep the border

01:17:20.980 sealed and send

01:17:22.760 the criminals home.

01:17:24.400 And by the time

01:17:24.960 he's done with

01:17:25.520 that, there just

01:17:26.120 won't be much

01:17:26.760 energy for the

01:17:28.180 people who lived

01:17:28.880 here for three

01:17:29.460 years, really

01:17:30.080 wanted a better

01:17:30.640 life, their kids

01:17:32.240 are learning

01:17:32.700 English, they

01:17:33.980 have a job.

01:17:35.720 Your level of

01:17:37.480 being angry will

01:17:38.480 just sort of

01:17:39.560 get decreased.

01:17:45.220 If they lied

01:17:46.340 to get asylum,

01:17:47.260 that is illegal.

01:17:48.880 Yeah, but it's

01:17:52.860 also a reasonable

01:17:53.760 opinion.

01:17:55.200 Let's say you

01:17:55.780 came from any

01:17:56.720 country that has

01:17:57.720 a cartel.

01:17:59.680 How hard would

01:18:00.760 it be to say,

01:18:02.240 I'm afraid of

01:18:03.180 living where the

01:18:03.800 cartel is.

01:18:05.360 Is that not

01:18:06.120 good enough?

01:18:07.440 Do you have to

01:18:08.240 prove that you

01:18:08.900 got a specific

01:18:09.740 threat?

01:18:11.480 Here's the note

01:18:12.340 where they said

01:18:12.840 they'd kill me if

01:18:13.700 I stay in

01:18:14.460 Central America.

01:18:16.380 Oh, asylum.

01:18:17.980 How about, well,

01:18:19.280 they haven't given

01:18:19.820 me a direct threat,

01:18:21.400 but where I live,

01:18:23.180 it's just so

01:18:23.860 violent that I

01:18:25.100 can't even walk

01:18:25.780 outside without

01:18:26.720 risk of getting

01:18:27.620 killed.

01:18:28.240 So I want

01:18:28.860 asylum.

01:18:29.920 Do you get it?

01:18:30.760 I think the

01:18:32.460 answer is yes.

01:18:33.860 You just have to

01:18:34.600 say that in your

01:18:35.420 opinion, your life

01:18:36.520 is at risk.

01:18:37.480 Nobody's going to,

01:18:38.460 I don't believe

01:18:39.340 anybody analyzes

01:18:40.420 your life to find

01:18:41.840 out what the

01:18:42.320 degree of risk

01:18:42.980 is.

01:18:43.520 Now, your real

01:18:44.200 thinking might be

01:18:45.900 economic security.

01:18:48.300 But if you also

01:18:49.800 have a legitimate

01:18:51.720 dangerous situation,

01:18:53.280 which would always

01:18:53.960 be the case

01:18:54.780 wherever the

01:18:55.480 people want to

01:18:57.380 leave to get

01:18:57.900 economic opportunity,

01:18:59.000 so it's also

01:18:59.940 going to be

01:19:00.340 dangerous, I

01:19:02.440 don't know.

01:19:03.160 It would be

01:19:03.860 hard to prove

01:19:05.880 in the court of

01:19:06.640 law that the

01:19:07.380 only reason they

01:19:08.360 came was for

01:19:09.000 economics when

01:19:10.740 they're in the

01:19:11.620 middle of a

01:19:12.160 dangerous shithole.

01:19:14.620 I think if I

01:19:15.600 were them, I'd

01:19:16.140 try.

01:19:16.660 I would claim

01:19:17.340 asylum.

01:19:18.300 And I know I

01:19:18.980 hate those people.

01:19:20.580 I don't hate

01:19:21.280 them at all.

01:19:22.760 So people who

01:19:24.020 want a better

01:19:24.420 life, I don't

01:19:25.840 mind that we get

01:19:26.460 a bunch of

01:19:26.860 them, as

01:19:28.580 long as we

01:19:29.380 can control

01:19:30.460 it.

01:19:31.380 The question

01:19:32.300 about immigration,

01:19:33.120 as you all

01:19:33.580 agree, is

01:19:34.640 having too

01:19:35.160 much of it

01:19:35.840 and the

01:19:36.620 wrong kind.

01:19:38.900 You want to

01:19:39.440 make immigration

01:19:40.100 simple and make

01:19:40.940 everybody happier?

01:19:43.120 I thought of

01:19:43.940 this one today.

01:19:44.920 Now, this could

01:19:45.500 never really

01:19:46.000 happen in the

01:19:46.700 real world, but

01:19:48.020 it'd be awesome

01:19:48.560 if it could.

01:19:50.000 You bring in

01:19:51.000 everybody who's

01:19:51.740 got an IQ over

01:19:52.640 120, and

01:19:55.400 that's it.

01:19:57.620 We'll take

01:19:58.160 all you have

01:19:59.380 from every

01:20:00.040 country.

01:20:01.000 Shit, whole

01:20:01.420 country, no

01:20:02.080 problem.

01:20:02.660 You've got an

01:20:03.060 IQ of 120, you're

01:20:05.060 in.

01:20:05.880 We don't care

01:20:06.540 where you came

01:20:06.960 from.

01:20:08.000 Do you know

01:20:08.860 what a powerhouse

01:20:10.080 the United States

01:20:10.860 would be if we

01:20:12.220 put an IQ limit

01:20:13.520 on immigration

01:20:15.100 and we made it

01:20:16.820 higher than

01:20:17.300 average?

01:20:18.740 So imagine

01:20:19.540 bringing in 10

01:20:20.540 million geniuses

01:20:21.580 a year.

01:20:21.900 I think we'd

01:20:24.700 be okay.

01:20:26.420 Yeah, we could

01:20:27.000 bring in 10

01:20:27.620 million geniuses,

01:20:28.740 like literally,

01:20:30.220 you know, people

01:20:30.780 who are in the

01:20:31.160 140s if we

01:20:32.360 wanted.

01:20:32.860 Maybe there's

01:20:33.560 not enough of

01:20:34.040 them.

01:20:38.500 Scott is an

01:20:39.320 open border

01:20:39.940 proponent.

01:20:41.500 Now, did

01:20:42.160 anything I say

01:20:43.040 sound like an

01:20:43.880 open border

01:20:44.600 proponent?

01:20:47.580 There's just so

01:20:48.340 many trolls

01:20:48.880 today on the

01:20:49.780 comments.

01:20:51.140 No, I'm

01:20:52.260 not an open

01:20:52.900 border

01:20:53.300 proponent.

01:20:55.720 I might be

01:20:57.000 worrying about

01:20:57.660 it less than

01:20:58.220 you, but I'm

01:20:59.700 definitely not an

01:21:00.280 open border

01:21:00.760 proponent.

01:21:03.140 Well, the U.S.

01:21:04.120 is going to send

01:21:04.780 quote additional

01:21:05.700 troops to the

01:21:07.200 Middle East, so

01:21:08.960 things are looking

01:21:09.540 dangerous over

01:21:10.200 there.

01:21:10.900 That's according

01:21:11.460 to Pentagon

01:21:12.480 Press Secretary

01:21:13.340 General Patrick

01:21:15.320 Ryder.

01:21:16.720 His brother

01:21:17.240 Richard Ryder

01:21:18.080 could not be

01:21:19.340 heard from.

01:21:19.740 Some call

01:21:21.280 him Dick

01:21:21.580 Ryder.

01:21:22.620 In light of

01:21:23.060 the increased

01:21:23.440 tensions, they're

01:21:24.140 sending people

01:21:25.520 there.

01:21:25.920 Well, that

01:21:26.320 sounds bad.

01:22:15.120 P.

01:22:15.920 P.

01:22:15.940 this sort of new thinking. Would you agree with the following statement? If you're looking at,

01:22:21.440 let's say, a business, a company, is it fair to say that companies are either growing,

01:22:29.220 and that would be healthy, or they're shrinking, which is unhealthy, and they're going to go out

01:22:35.140 of business? But things almost never stay the same. Like the rarest situation for any big

01:22:43.280 complicated thing. The rarest situation is always the same. So things are either improving

01:22:50.040 or getting worse. Would you agree so far that the nature of things, countries, organizations,

01:22:57.420 businesses, are either growing or they're getting worse? Very few things just same every day.

01:23:07.240 So I would argue, and you're not going to like this at all, that the only reason the United

01:23:13.180 States is successful, as successful as we are, is because of colonization.

01:23:20.780 And that if you weren't colonizing, you couldn't grow. Because in the days of serious colonizing,

01:23:27.400 it was about resources. Some of those resources, you know, were human trafficking, of course,

01:23:32.960 so it's horrible. But colonization allows you to get more resources from other countries,

01:23:41.380 and you might have to control those countries to get the resources. Now, you can say to me,

01:23:48.200 but Scott, that is unethical and terrible, which I say, yeah, I can see your point. It's unethical

01:23:54.440 and terrible to the locals in many ways. But compare it to the alternative. The alternative

01:24:01.000 is that China colonizes them, or Russia colonizes them. Somebody's going to colonize everybody who

01:24:08.700 can be colonized. There's no world in which you leave them alone. And when there's an exception,

01:24:15.480 it would be like Switzerland. Because what? We need their chocolate? Well, why does anybody need

01:24:23.100 to colonize Switzerland? Because we're going to take their mountains and bring them back home?

01:24:28.380 We're going to take their weather and bring it with us? There's nothing to colonize in Switzerland.

01:24:34.780 They don't have a damn thing that we need. That's why they can be neutral. If they had anything we

01:24:40.680 needed, we'd be starting a war with them to get their shit. Because, and here's the part that's

01:24:46.860 going to be harder for you to accept. If the United States isn't growing, we're dead.

01:24:55.840 You grow or you die. You don't have a steady state option. Because even if you did stay steady state,

01:25:02.900 other countries would grow faster. And then they would have economic and other control over you.

01:25:08.820 So colonizing and controlling other countries, which includes wars, and that's what Ukraine looks

01:25:18.960 like. And the Middle East is its own complicated situation, but there's some of that. If we don't

01:25:26.500 colonize like crazy, we're all dead. Because we'll just shrink and go into business. So you could say

01:25:34.880 the United States is a terrible place because we create wars that didn't need to be created. And

01:25:39.520 you'd be right. We're a terrible, terrible people who create wars that don't need to be created.

01:25:47.460 But it works. And it has worked every year that the United States has been a country.

01:25:53.820 And we've grown faster than other places that don't colonize. So we have this big old navy

01:26:00.300 that allows us to project power pretty much everywhere.

01:26:06.540 That's why I can have this live stream. Because we made so much money and inventions and technology

01:26:13.820 was better and we've got great internet and all the things that you want in life.

01:26:18.520 It's because people who are not you, and not nearly as awesome as you, because you are ethical and moral

01:26:25.800 and other people are not. But thank God those inethical, immoral people are doing horrible things

01:26:32.740 in other countries and to other people that if they didn't do, the United States would just disappear.

01:26:40.300 So here's my dilemma. I can be opposed to war, but I can't be opposed to the concept upon which the war

01:26:51.900 rides. Now, there could be wars that don't get you enough resources, and so therefore that's a dumb war

01:26:59.340 that nobody is better off. But I don't think you can leave out of your thinking that whoever colonizes

01:27:10.380 wins and whoever doesn't colonize loses. And I mean loses, like you became poor or conquered slaves.

01:27:20.380 I mean, losing is really losing. I mean, you lose everything. So do I care that the United States

01:27:26.540 is super colonizing? Now, you might say to me, Scott, if anything you're saying is true,

01:27:33.020 why doesn't the government ever say it so that we'll be on their side when they do it?

01:27:37.420 All the government has to do is say, look, let me be honest with you. If we don't grow,

01:27:42.940 we shrink and then we're all dead. The only way we can grow, the only way is by having lots and lots

01:27:49.900 of control over these other countries so that we can get their resources as part of our supply chain.

01:27:57.100 So we don't want to have these wars, but it's the only way to be successful. Why don't they say that?

01:28:03.980 They can't, because they would never be able to sell that to the public. The public would say,

01:28:09.740 okay, but just don't do that, because we don't want you to kill people in our name.

01:28:15.420 I don't want anybody to kill anybody in my name. I don't want to pay taxes to somebody who's going

01:28:19.660 to go kill a stranger in another country. On the other hand, that's a half opinion.

01:28:27.980 A half opinion is you just take a part of the situation and then just pretend that's the whole

01:28:32.940 situation. Part of the situation is I don't want anybody starting a war in my name with my money.

01:28:39.980 They could come back and bite me. I don't like war. That's a half opinion.

01:28:45.660 If we were not this way, we probably would already be in the business.

01:28:52.620 So let me see if this analogy works. You've heard the stories about Steve Jobs being a genius

01:29:01.660 at everything he accomplished. Have you also heard the stories that he was the biggest

01:29:08.300 asshole in the entire world? Like just a fucking dick. You've heard that, right? Do you think it

01:29:15.420 would have happened if he was just a get along guy? Do you think if he had not been all those things

01:29:23.100 that you wouldn't want to be and you wouldn't want to support and you wouldn't want to be near it?

01:29:27.500 If he hadn't been all of those things, do you think Apple would be Apple? I don't.

01:29:34.620 So I think you have to live in the real world a little bit and know that the hugely terrible

01:29:40.540 things your government is doing is sometimes to benefit their buddies and their cohorts and the

01:29:46.700 people who make the weapons. That's definitely a big part of it. But it's also probably absolutely

01:29:54.060 critical for your survival. And they can't tell you that directly. So I'm going to tell you.

01:30:00.700 It doesn't mean you shouldn't fight to stop wars because I think that's still the right impulse.

01:30:07.740 There must be other ways we can do things. You know, it's just not always about bombing stuff.

01:30:12.140 But you have to be honest, the colonizing is the only reason that DEI even exists. And I don't mean

01:30:22.460 as a complaint about colonizing. It's meaning you wouldn't even have the luxury of complaining about

01:30:29.820 bullshit like racial stuff. It's not bullshit, but you wouldn't even have the luxury of complaining

01:30:35.100 about it, except that we're a hugely successful country because of colonizing.

01:30:42.940 I hate to say that if you understand economics, everything looks different.

01:30:47.900 But it is. You have to look at the whole picture. Now, I wouldn't want anybody that I like to

01:30:54.300 imitate this argument because it just makes you look like a jerk. And that's why people don't do it.

01:30:59.500 But one of my minor values to the world is that I can look like a jerk because I'm already,

01:31:05.820 you know, canceled, but doesn't make any difference to me. So there's your argument.

01:31:10.860 That's all I have for today. I'm going to talk to the locals people privately because they're special.

01:31:16.220 And the rest of you, I will see you tomorrow, same time, same place. So thanks for joining

01:31:22.140 on YouTube and Rumble NX. And locals, I'm coming at you in 30 seconds.
