Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2621 CWSA 10⧸07⧸24

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:16.620 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:18.400 And if you're here for that enjoyment, well, let me tell you,

00:00:23.040 sometimes humans with their tiny, shiny human brains

00:00:25.900 cannot understand how much of a pleasure this is.

00:00:30.640 But if you'd like to find out,

00:00:32.380 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice

00:00:35.120 or a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:39.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:40.640 I like coffee.

00:00:42.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:44.240 the dopamine thing of the day,

00:00:45.520 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:46.960 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:49.480 And it happens now.

00:00:50.460 Go.

00:00:55.900 Oh, that was divine.

00:00:58.240 So good.

00:01:00.720 I hope it was good for you.

00:01:03.960 Well, I found out that some of the news hosts on ABC News

00:01:08.400 might be looking at a cut in pay.

00:01:13.060 So they're saying that maybe George Stephanopoulos

00:01:16.040 and Robin Roberts and Michael Strayon,

00:01:19.120 who each have deals valued at $25 million annually.

00:01:25.900 Oops, we've got a problem with locals.

00:01:30.860 Locals is not working.

00:01:33.720 Why would locals not be working?

00:01:39.980 Well, locals is streaming.

00:01:44.800 Let's do this.

00:01:48.720 Let's do this.

00:01:50.840 I'm going to try something,

00:01:52.340 which I've never tried before.

00:01:53.780 Let's see if I can stream on two devices.

00:01:58.880 All right, hold on.

00:01:59.760 I'm going to fix this.

00:02:03.020 Let's see if this is fixable.

00:02:09.940 Start stream.

00:02:14.340 Huh.

00:02:16.060 Apparently not.

00:02:16.900 That just disappeared.

00:02:23.220 One more try.

00:02:27.660 Live stream has now started.

00:02:32.260 Interesting.

00:02:38.560 I'll just say it won't stream.

00:02:42.320 Try X or rumble.

00:02:45.780 Or YouTube.

00:02:50.600 That's awkward.

00:02:52.940 All right.

00:02:53.560 Well, so we're not streaming perfectly on all the platforms,

00:02:57.420 but three out of four.

00:03:00.480 Anyway, it turns out that the ABC News people

00:03:03.440 make $25 million a year

00:03:05.300 for doing a little less than I do.

00:03:09.680 So I basically have the same job,

00:03:14.880 except I work seven days a week

00:03:16.600 and they work five days a week.

00:03:18.300 And I'm thinking,

00:03:19.340 I feel like I'm underpaid.

00:03:22.040 $25 million a year they're getting

00:03:23.900 for just being on TV for an hour.

00:03:26.660 Wow.

00:03:27.960 Anyway, in more important news,

00:03:29.660 according to the Daily Star,

00:03:31.560 scientists are trying to resurrect

00:03:33.440 giant five-foot-tall beavers.

00:03:36.080 They're bringing them back to Britain. 1.00

00:03:40.220 So apparently there used to be giant beavers,

00:03:42.580 but now there are not giant beavers.

00:03:46.360 But they said to themselves,

00:03:47.740 you know what we really need?

00:03:49.680 Giant beavers.

00:03:51.760 So if you were thinking,

00:03:54.000 you know, life is pretty good.

00:03:55.380 I've got this one problem.

00:03:56.980 Just one thing I'd like to fix.

00:03:59.940 The beavers are not big enough.

00:04:02.020 We need some giant beavers. 1.00

00:04:03.440 Well, science has you covered.

00:04:05.540 There's a really good chance

00:04:06.600 there will be giant beavers.

00:04:11.360 I think I might turn off

00:04:13.140 the locals' comments

00:04:14.700 because you're only complaining

00:04:16.500 about the locals not working.

00:04:21.420 Should I turn off the locals' comments?

00:04:27.340 Yeah.

00:04:28.240 Anyway, there's no video,

00:04:29.840 but apparently there might be some sound.

00:04:31.420 Or not.

00:04:32.980 I don't know.

00:04:35.400 Did you know that there was a movie

00:04:36.860 called Joker 2?

00:04:39.280 I am so interested.

00:04:41.780 Oh, my God.

00:04:43.480 All right.

00:04:43.860 I'm going to have to kill this feed.

00:04:49.280 Let's see.

00:04:51.760 How do I get rid of?

00:04:53.300 Let's try something.

00:05:04.720 All right.

00:05:05.200 I can't even make it go away.

00:05:07.440 All right.

00:05:09.920 Well, at least turn this off.

00:05:14.060 That would be easier.

00:05:15.280 So I have no idea who's watching

00:05:16.920 or if you can see it

00:05:18.300 or anything else.

00:05:19.300 But if you're on locals,

00:05:21.560 you probably want to go to

00:05:23.040 Rumble or YouTube or X.

00:05:26.160 They're all working, I think.

00:05:28.280 All right.

00:05:31.580 So there's a movie called

00:05:32.680 The Joker 2.

00:05:34.080 It looks like it's going to be

00:05:35.280 one of the worst films of the year.

00:05:37.280 It lost $70 million so far.

00:05:40.320 Rotten Tomatoes score is not so good.

00:05:42.420 And here's my question.

00:05:48.920 Who's going to watch a movie in 2024?

00:05:52.780 Well, it just doesn't even make sense anymore.

00:05:55.620 It doesn't make sense

00:05:56.780 that the industry even exists to me.

00:06:00.840 I mean, it's just a complete...

00:06:02.600 I mean, I have no idea.

00:06:04.420 All right.

00:06:04.660 Here's what I'm going to do.

00:06:05.960 I'm going to start an entirely new feed

00:06:08.320 on locals.

00:06:10.680 Let's see if a new one works.

00:06:14.780 It might kick the old one off.

00:06:19.320 Let's seem to try again.

00:06:28.100 We're at that weird point in history

00:06:30.200 where you never know

00:06:31.900 what the technology is going to do.

00:06:34.040 So I'm trying to start a second feed.

00:06:36.080 Oh, interesting.

00:06:41.900 Interestingly,

00:06:42.620 it looks like it works.

00:06:47.780 Interestingly.

00:06:49.060 All right.

00:06:49.940 So problem solved.

00:06:51.180 The sound won't be as good

00:06:52.280 on the local feed,

00:06:53.200 but we've got...

00:06:54.320 We're up and running.

00:06:55.600 I'm just using a second device.

00:06:58.520 That's what photons are for.

00:07:00.640 Anyway,

00:07:01.280 in other news,

00:07:02.220 scientists have hacked a bacteria

00:07:03.760 so it can break down plastic waste

00:07:05.660 according to the bite.

00:07:07.500 So wouldn't that be great

00:07:08.720 to have a bacteria

00:07:10.280 that can eat up

00:07:11.160 all the plastic waste?

00:07:13.420 Do you have any questions about that?

00:07:15.980 So there's a bacteria

00:07:17.260 that can sort of eat plastic. 0.99

00:07:21.200 So we won't have so much plastic.

00:07:24.660 There's sort of a question

00:07:25.780 about that, isn't there?

00:07:26.720 Do bacteria poop? 0.97

00:07:30.820 What happens when they eat it?

00:07:32.720 Don't they just poop out

00:07:33.740 a bunch of bacteria poop?

00:07:35.640 And wouldn't they be pooping

00:07:36.820 roughly the same amount

00:07:38.100 as they ate?

00:07:39.500 So when you're done,

00:07:40.620 your plastic would just turn

00:07:42.060 into bacteria poop, right?

00:07:44.280 I mean, I don't know how they poop,

00:07:45.640 but I'm sure they do.

00:07:48.140 So I'm not exactly sure

00:07:50.880 what's going on

00:07:52.360 with the bacteria eating plastic,

00:07:54.080 but I would ask some questions.

00:07:56.000 Where are you going to put

00:07:57.340 what's left over?

00:08:00.060 All right.

00:08:00.880 Well, apparently both candidates,

00:08:02.900 Trump and Harris,

00:08:05.000 their plans for,

00:08:07.800 their policy plans

00:08:08.920 have been scored

00:08:10.300 by economists

00:08:13.920 to figure out

00:08:15.720 which one would destroy

00:08:16.760 the country faster.

00:08:18.540 Trump's plan would destroy

00:08:20.080 the country faster

00:08:21.140 through massive debt

00:08:22.680 compared to Harris,

00:08:24.860 who would also be

00:08:25.640 racking up

00:08:26.240 massive additional debt.

00:08:28.660 So the current thinking

00:08:29.840 is that both of them

00:08:30.760 have a plan

00:08:31.380 for destroying the country,

00:08:33.080 if not the world.

00:08:35.720 And the next story,

00:08:39.020 why do we treat it that way?

00:08:43.420 Do you understand

00:08:44.580 what's going on

00:08:45.380 with the national debt?

00:08:46.620 that it's an unsolvable

00:08:49.960 existential problem

00:08:51.220 that will kill us all?

00:08:53.280 But I think maybe

00:08:54.280 the problem is so big

00:08:55.380 we can't spend time

00:08:56.580 talking about it.

00:08:58.180 So we just have to

00:08:59.440 pretend it's not real.

00:09:01.300 Is that what's going on?

00:09:02.780 Or is it really solvable?

00:09:05.240 And it'll be just,

00:09:06.180 you know,

00:09:06.480 one more of a million things

00:09:08.000 we thought were going

00:09:08.720 to kill us, 0.92

00:09:09.580 but in the end

00:09:10.460 we figured it out.

00:09:11.320 I don't know why

00:09:13.940 we're not talking

00:09:14.680 about this

00:09:15.260 and only this.

00:09:16.840 Because we really

00:09:17.800 only have one problem

00:09:19.120 that's a big one.

00:09:21.480 Everything else

00:09:22.160 is way,

00:09:23.260 way less important.

00:09:24.620 I mean,

00:09:24.860 way less important.

00:09:26.200 Still important,

00:09:27.780 but way less.

00:09:29.880 You know,

00:09:30.160 the war in Ukraine,

00:09:31.860 way less important

00:09:32.780 than the national debt.

00:09:34.700 Middle East,

00:09:35.540 way less important,

00:09:37.040 but all very important.

00:09:38.720 You know,

00:09:38.940 individually,

00:09:39.680 very,

00:09:39.960 very important,

00:09:40.560 but not even close,

00:09:42.720 not even close

00:09:44.440 to the risk

00:09:45.420 with the national debt.

00:09:48.060 But we just sort of

00:09:49.220 act like,

00:09:50.100 well,

00:09:50.400 it's just one more story

00:09:51.600 moving on to the next story

00:09:52.920 about bacteria

00:09:53.720 eating plastic.

00:09:55.280 And I do the same thing.

00:09:56.940 Like it should be

00:09:57.840 just a show about,

00:09:58.920 okay,

00:09:59.080 we're all doomed.

00:09:59.900 Anybody have an idea?

00:10:00.940 No.

00:10:03.620 So I still do have hope

00:10:05.600 that the Adams Law

00:10:07.140 of slow-moving disasters

00:10:08.500 will kick in.

00:10:10.560 And given that everybody

00:10:12.080 knows it's a problem,

00:10:13.860 then somehow

00:10:14.240 we'll figure out

00:10:14.940 how to fix it.

00:10:15.880 But my bigger problem

00:10:16.980 on this is,

00:10:17.620 do you believe

00:10:18.080 that economists

00:10:18.780 can look at the two plans

00:10:20.860 and calculate

00:10:22.000 which ones

00:10:23.180 will affect the economy

00:10:24.800 and how they'll

00:10:25.760 affect the debt?

00:10:26.980 Do you think

00:10:27.520 that's possible?

00:10:28.560 Or did you just

00:10:29.440 critically

00:10:29.940 or uncritically,

00:10:31.700 did you just accept

00:10:32.840 what the news told you,

00:10:34.640 that economists

00:10:35.560 can figure out

00:10:36.320 which one would be

00:10:37.040 worse for the debt?

00:10:37.880 They can't do that,

00:10:40.540 people.

00:10:41.960 That's not a thing.

00:10:44.440 If you're asking

00:10:45.460 are they accurate

00:10:46.700 or inaccurate,

00:10:48.580 it's not even

00:10:49.540 the right question.

00:10:50.680 That's not something

00:10:51.380 anybody can do.

00:10:53.040 Nobody can figure out

00:10:54.200 the difference

00:10:54.720 between the two

00:10:55.540 economic plans

00:10:56.580 and what it will do

00:10:57.880 to the debt.

00:10:59.060 That is not a thing.

00:11:00.560 We act like it is

00:11:03.120 because most people

00:11:05.540 don't understand

00:11:06.240 what it would take

00:11:06.940 to do that calculation.

00:11:08.840 But I've lived

00:11:09.720 in that world.

00:11:11.560 Here's what they,

00:11:12.520 without even looking

00:11:13.540 into it,

00:11:13.980 I'll tell you

00:11:14.360 what's wrong with it.

00:11:15.620 Right?

00:11:16.020 So I'm so confident

00:11:17.080 that without even

00:11:19.160 looking at how

00:11:20.040 they calculate it,

00:11:20.920 I'll tell you

00:11:21.300 what's wrong.

00:11:22.560 They cannot calculate

00:11:24.240 growth.

00:11:27.140 Right?

00:11:28.300 So,

00:11:28.960 and I don't know

00:11:29.540 if this is the case,

00:11:30.560 but if all they did

00:11:31.280 is look at

00:11:31.960 the direct impact,

00:11:35.180 they would say,

00:11:35.660 oh,

00:11:36.400 Trump wants to cut

00:11:37.380 your taxes more

00:11:38.340 than Harris does.

00:11:40.140 So on day one,

00:11:42.120 Trump will be running

00:11:42.960 up more deficit.

00:11:44.540 And then if you

00:11:45.160 just multiply day one

00:11:46.400 times 10 years,

00:11:47.440 it's 10 times as worse.

00:11:49.760 Now,

00:11:50.280 I'm oversimplifying,

00:11:51.740 but here's the part

00:11:52.800 I can guarantee you.

00:11:54.860 Nobody knows

00:11:55.640 what the difference

00:11:56.340 in growth would be

00:11:57.360 between the two plans.

00:11:59.540 I think Trump's

00:12:00.660 would be higher growth.

00:12:02.540 Lower taxes,

00:12:03.340 higher growth,

00:12:03.960 usually happens,

00:12:05.020 but we don't know

00:12:05.980 how much.

00:12:07.560 So to imagine

00:12:08.320 that you could

00:12:08.940 calculate the difference

00:12:10.060 between who would

00:12:11.100 add more to the debt

00:12:12.160 over 10 years,

00:12:13.660 it's not really a thing.

00:12:15.420 It's not a thing

00:12:16.300 you can calculate.

00:12:17.680 You can look at

00:12:18.660 whether somebody's

00:12:19.400 doing something dumb

00:12:20.440 or not dumb,

00:12:22.280 and that's about it.

00:12:24.160 So for example,

00:12:25.080 you can tell directionally

00:12:26.580 if lowering taxes

00:12:28.540 would be,

00:12:29.320 you know,

00:12:30.440 stimulative for business,

00:12:32.520 but also bad

00:12:34.160 in the short term

00:12:34.900 for the deficit.

00:12:36.580 But beyond that,

00:12:37.780 you can't really

00:12:38.760 look at 10 years

00:12:40.420 down the road,

00:12:41.500 especially when

00:12:42.520 we're introducing

00:12:43.160 AI and robots.

00:12:44.620 Do you think anybody

00:12:45.700 could make a 10-year forecast?

00:12:48.180 Just think about that.

00:12:50.040 Think about AI

00:12:51.000 and robots, 0.86

00:12:51.820 both going to come online,

00:12:53.180 auto robots

00:12:54.580 and taxis and stuff.

00:12:57.400 Do you know

00:12:57.880 how gigantic

00:12:59.020 that is,

00:13:00.200 potentially?

00:13:01.900 Do you think

00:13:02.760 that the people

00:13:03.280 who calculated

00:13:04.200 a 10-year

00:13:05.620 economic forecast,

00:13:07.140 10 years

00:13:07.840 in this environment,

00:13:10.760 that's nonsense.

00:13:12.420 It's complete nonsense.

00:13:13.600 We have no idea

00:13:14.240 what's going to happen

00:13:14.780 in 10 years

00:13:15.420 under any plan.

00:13:17.220 We have no idea.

00:13:19.400 So I will agree

00:13:21.620 with the analysts

00:13:22.620 who say

00:13:23.540 it looks like

00:13:25.280 the deficit

00:13:25.960 will go up

00:13:26.460 in the short run

00:13:27.080 and that

00:13:29.480 neither of them

00:13:30.300 have a plan

00:13:30.900 to really get rid of it.

00:13:33.040 But I'm not so sure

00:13:34.980 they can tell

00:13:35.420 which one's better

00:13:36.140 than the other.

00:13:37.180 That's probably

00:13:37.920 too fine a level

00:13:39.000 for them

00:13:40.200 to actually put on it.

00:13:42.520 There's also

00:13:43.180 a calculation

00:13:43.740 that says

00:13:44.160 45% of Americans

00:13:45.480 will run out of money

00:13:46.700 in retirement,

00:13:47.800 according to Yahoo Finance.

00:13:49.540 Do you believe

00:13:50.900 they can calculate that?

00:13:53.220 Do you think

00:13:53.820 anybody can calculate

00:13:55.040 who's going to run

00:13:56.440 out of money

00:13:57.000 in retirement?

00:13:59.180 Now keep in mind

00:14:00.080 that a retirement

00:14:01.260 calculation

00:14:01.800 is going to be

00:14:02.480 a multi-year period.

00:14:05.080 So it's not like

00:14:05.740 one year from now.

00:14:07.880 No, it's like

00:14:08.600 what will happen

00:14:09.300 over the next 20 years.

00:14:10.980 Do you think

00:14:11.380 the economists

00:14:11.960 can calculate

00:14:12.800 what will happen

00:14:13.520 over 20 years?

00:14:15.040 No.

00:14:15.860 No.

00:14:16.420 Nobody's ever

00:14:17.900 been able to do that.

00:14:19.240 That's not even close

00:14:20.160 to something

00:14:20.620 people can do.

00:14:22.400 So,

00:14:23.040 is this a number

00:14:24.360 that you should trust

00:14:25.620 that 45% 0.98

00:14:27.460 will run out

00:14:28.120 of money

00:14:28.400 in retirement?

00:14:29.500 No.

00:14:30.260 No, you should not

00:14:30.980 trust that number.

00:14:32.380 But,

00:14:33.480 is it directionally

00:14:35.180 useful?

00:14:37.880 I won't even say

00:14:38.660 accurate.

00:14:39.640 Is it directionally

00:14:40.800 useful?

00:14:41.700 Probably.

00:14:43.360 Because it does

00:14:44.020 raise a little flag

00:14:45.520 that says,

00:14:46.260 I'm not so sure

00:14:47.680 this whole retirement

00:14:49.260 thing is well

00:14:50.160 constructed.

00:14:51.140 Now,

00:14:51.580 that part's true.

00:14:53.980 I think the 45% 1.00

00:14:55.620 could easily be 80.

00:14:57.780 I think 80%

00:14:59.100 of the people

00:14:59.920 could run out

00:15:00.520 of money

00:15:00.900 in retirement

00:15:02.340 under the current

00:15:03.960 circumstance

00:15:04.680 because inflation

00:15:05.720 is out of control.

00:15:07.540 Well,

00:15:07.960 you could argue

00:15:08.640 if it's out of control,

00:15:09.700 but it's high enough

00:15:11.300 that it's hard

00:15:13.180 to imagine

00:15:13.660 80% of the world

00:15:14.840 having enough

00:15:15.640 money for retirement.

00:15:17.740 So,

00:15:18.520 what do you do?

00:15:20.260 Well,

00:15:20.660 I would suggest

00:15:21.420 that Trump's

00:15:22.060 new cities

00:15:22.940 might be part

00:15:24.880 of the solution.

00:15:25.960 If you tried

00:15:26.840 to build a place

00:15:27.860 that was from

00:15:28.840 the ground up

00:15:30.200 was going to be

00:15:31.500 both a great

00:15:32.340 place to live,

00:15:33.680 but also

00:15:34.680 crazy inexpensive,

00:15:36.800 you could do it.

00:15:38.560 You could do it.

00:15:39.880 So,

00:15:40.100 imagine federal land.

00:15:41.640 Okay,

00:15:41.920 your land is free.

00:15:43.420 Now,

00:15:43.720 imagine the cheapest

00:15:44.760 building materials

00:15:45.700 and some robots

00:15:46.640 doing the building.

00:15:48.340 Labor is cheap.

00:15:49.460 There's a robot involved,

00:15:50.460 but the labor is cheap.

00:15:51.880 The materials are cheap.

00:15:53.380 Slap it together.

00:15:54.460 Now,

00:15:54.760 imagine standardizing

00:15:55.960 all the construction

00:15:56.820 so that there's no

00:15:58.580 figuring out

00:16:01.240 how to do anything.

00:16:02.260 Everything's the same.

00:16:03.240 Boom,

00:16:03.420 up,

00:16:03.560 up,

00:16:03.720 up,

00:16:03.880 up,

00:16:04.040 up,

00:16:04.180 up,

00:16:04.320 up.

00:16:05.160 But maybe you put

00:16:06.220 a little variety

00:16:07.200 in the,

00:16:07.940 I don't know,

00:16:08.660 just the front windows

00:16:10.280 or something.

00:16:10.960 So,

00:16:11.140 it's a little bit

00:16:11.660 something different.

00:16:13.620 You could easily imagine

00:16:15.080 bringing the cost

00:16:16.740 of your phone service

00:16:18.860 way down,

00:16:19.820 your insurance way down.

00:16:21.580 Imagine what insurance

00:16:22.780 would be

00:16:23.280 if you got rid

00:16:24.700 of all the risks.

00:16:26.100 You build it

00:16:26.980 where there's no hurricanes.

00:16:28.380 You build it

00:16:29.220 where there's no floods.

00:16:31.640 Right?

00:16:32.520 So,

00:16:33.040 you just get rid

00:16:33.560 of those risks.

00:16:34.420 Those are insurance costs.

00:16:36.180 And then you build it

00:16:36.980 where,

00:16:37.560 in a way that

00:16:38.160 there's almost no crime.

00:16:40.160 Because if you took it

00:16:41.180 away from all the

00:16:41.880 populated places

00:16:42.940 and built it

00:16:44.480 so there's lots of,

00:16:45.600 you know,

00:16:46.000 cameras on the streets

00:16:47.120 and stuff like that,

00:16:48.440 you could almost

00:16:49.080 do away with crime.

00:16:51.180 And what about food?

00:16:53.460 If you grew your food

00:16:54.720 locally,

00:16:55.540 made sure there were

00:16:56.180 indoor farms and stuff,

00:16:57.500 you can get rid

00:16:57.840 of the transportation costs,

00:16:59.680 get rid of a lot

00:17:00.300 of the middleman costs,

00:17:01.820 depending on how you do it.

00:17:03.440 So,

00:17:03.860 it seems to me

00:17:04.820 you could lower

00:17:06.660 people's cost of living

00:17:08.060 by 80%

00:17:09.160 while improving

00:17:11.440 the quality of life.

00:17:13.320 Because the worst situation

00:17:14.720 is if you have money

00:17:15.700 and you retire

00:17:16.680 and you're all alone

00:17:17.540 in a big house.

00:17:19.380 That's not really

00:17:20.360 much of a life.

00:17:23.280 So,

00:17:23.900 I think we're going to have

00:17:25.280 to radically change

00:17:26.600 how people live,

00:17:28.560 which will be

00:17:29.340 very stimulating

00:17:30.180 because it will be,

00:17:31.180 you'll have to build

00:17:31.820 the new places

00:17:32.520 that are easier

00:17:33.380 to live in.

00:17:33.920 So,

00:17:34.780 I've got a feeling

00:17:35.280 this is all solvable,

00:17:36.600 but not if we just

00:17:38.320 want to live

00:17:38.780 exactly the way

00:17:39.620 we want to live.

00:17:41.440 That's not solvable.

00:17:43.280 The math can't work.

00:17:45.180 We cannot just do

00:17:46.360 what we're doing

00:17:47.060 and keep doing it.

00:17:49.420 There's no way

00:17:50.200 that can work.

00:17:51.020 Not even,

00:17:51.300 not even the slightest

00:17:52.240 possibility

00:17:52.980 that we'll just

00:17:54.100 kind of go on,

00:17:55.460 things will be the same.

00:17:57.120 No,

00:17:57.560 nothing like that.

00:17:58.480 It's going to have

00:17:58.920 to radically change,

00:18:00.060 but the radical change

00:18:02.280 could be a big improvement,

00:18:04.040 something everybody likes.

00:18:06.280 Ontario,

00:19:07.080 Well, let's talk

00:19:07.980 about the abortion hoaxes.

00:19:10.680 So, Tim Walsh,

00:19:11.620 even after being fact-checked

00:19:14.720 on Fox News,

00:19:17.640 I'm sorry,

00:19:18.840 Tim Walsh, yeah.

00:19:20.640 So, Tim Walsh

00:19:21.540 goes on Fox News,

00:19:22.560 Shannon Breen,

00:19:23.780 fact-checks him

00:19:24.900 on the thing

00:19:26.820 that they say

00:19:27.460 Trump wants to have

00:19:28.420 a national abortion ban.

00:19:30.560 Not only does Trump

00:19:32.040 not want to have

00:19:33.280 a national abortion ban,

00:19:34.860 but he's pro-abortion.

00:19:38.920 Right?

00:19:40.480 Am I wrong?

00:19:43.580 He's in favor of abortion.

00:19:45.140 My understanding

00:19:46.560 is in Florida,

00:19:48.200 he thought the six weeks

00:19:49.740 was a little too short,

00:19:51.320 which suggests

00:19:52.560 that there's some number

00:19:53.680 below which

00:19:55.080 he would say

00:19:55.720 abortion's okay. 0.69

00:19:56.720 That would be

00:19:57.120 in favor of abortion.

00:19:58.520 Now, not in favor

00:19:59.260 of nine months abortion,

00:20:00.540 which is my next topic.

00:20:02.520 But,

00:20:03.080 to go from

00:20:04.640 somebody who has

00:20:06.200 all his life

00:20:06.920 been essentially

00:20:08.060 pro-abortion,

00:20:09.020 as long as it's

00:20:09.740 within the first

00:20:10.520 X number of weeks,

00:20:11.700 to say that

00:20:13.840 he would be

00:20:14.400 for a national ban,

00:20:17.220 that is so

00:20:17.720 obviously not true.

00:20:19.520 It's just like

00:20:20.220 super obviously

00:20:21.200 not true.

00:20:22.380 And he says

00:20:23.280 it's not true,

00:20:24.120 it's not true with,

00:20:25.380 it's not compatible

00:20:26.240 with anything

00:20:26.760 he's said in the past.

00:20:28.720 You know,

00:20:28.920 basically he's been

00:20:29.660 completely consistent

00:20:30.660 all his life

00:20:31.400 on abortion.

00:20:32.900 As far as I know,

00:20:34.140 if somebody has

00:20:34.620 something different,

00:20:35.440 let me know.

00:20:36.940 So that's a,

00:20:37.860 that's a clear hoax.

00:20:39.480 Now,

00:20:39.980 how does a national

00:20:40.780 candidate get away

00:20:41.720 with saying something

00:20:42.540 on the most important

00:20:44.120 topic to voters,

00:20:46.140 you know,

00:20:46.340 at least on the left,

00:20:47.420 it's the most important

00:20:48.220 topic,

00:20:48.800 abortion,

00:20:49.640 that's completely

00:20:50.520 100% a lie?

00:20:53.180 Well,

00:20:54.580 Trump has his

00:20:55.340 own version.

00:20:56.800 Trump has the

00:20:57.440 nine-month

00:20:58.120 abortion lie, 0.96

00:21:00.100 which then

00:21:00.880 the Democrats

00:21:01.580 have a lie

00:21:02.260 to respond

00:21:02.960 to the lie.

00:21:04.500 So the entire

00:21:05.420 abortion conversation

00:21:06.400 is just people lying.

00:21:08.220 That's all it is.

00:21:09.960 So here's what,

00:21:10.540 here's my take

00:21:11.480 on the nine-month

00:21:12.220 thing.

00:21:13.780 So you'll see

00:21:15.160 Shannon Bream

00:21:16.000 or other people

00:21:16.740 asking somebody,

00:21:18.200 is it true

00:21:19.300 that it would be

00:21:20.660 legal in your state

00:21:22.320 to abort

00:21:23.900 at nine months?

00:21:25.820 What is the answer

00:21:26.980 usually?

00:21:28.440 The answer,

00:21:29.140 I think Kamala Harris

00:21:29.920 did this on the

00:21:30.780 podcast recently,

00:21:32.460 the answer is

00:21:33.400 nobody does that.

00:21:35.440 That doesn't happen.

00:21:37.560 But was that

00:21:38.380 the question?

00:21:39.940 No.

00:21:40.800 No, the question

00:21:41.460 is, does the law

00:21:42.480 allow you to do it?

00:21:44.020 If you did it,

00:21:45.360 would it be legal?

00:21:47.180 And the answer

00:21:48.000 will be,

00:21:48.780 nobody's doing that.

00:21:50.440 Okay, again,

00:21:51.200 that was not the question.

00:21:53.240 The question is,

00:21:54.820 does the current law

00:21:56.000 say that you could

00:21:57.180 abort at nine months?

00:22:00.040 Nobody's doing that.

00:22:01.280 Again,

00:22:02.420 can you answer

00:22:03.040 the question?

00:22:04.080 So I think

00:22:04.840 what you say

00:22:05.360 is that everybody

00:22:06.100 just answers

00:22:06.820 a different question.

00:22:09.140 So,

00:22:10.520 but,

00:22:11.240 so there's a

00:22:11.960 what really happens

00:22:13.100 and then there's

00:22:14.540 what's legal.

00:22:15.960 According to some laws,

00:22:17.560 would it be legal

00:22:18.480 for a doctor

00:22:20.280 and a woman

00:22:21.340 to decide

00:22:22.000 to have an abortion

00:22:24.080 at nine months?

00:22:26.280 I think it is.

00:22:28.660 But that the situation

00:22:30.360 where that happens

00:22:31.360 would be

00:22:32.180 an extreme situation

00:22:33.540 where the mother's

00:22:35.160 life is in danger

00:22:36.100 and the,

00:22:37.320 the child isn't

00:22:38.500 viable in the first place.

00:22:40.020 In other words,

00:22:40.600 everybody knows

00:22:41.320 that once delivered

00:22:42.600 or aborted,

00:22:44.160 whatever they do with it,

00:22:45.820 it's not going to make it.

00:22:48.520 Now,

00:22:49.120 I'm not giving you

00:22:50.140 my opinion

00:22:50.820 on what they should do

00:22:52.040 in those situations

00:22:52.840 because I leave that

00:22:53.800 to women.

00:22:54.540 I think women 1.00

00:22:55.040 should be the

00:22:55.660 primary deciders

00:22:57.200 on all of it.

00:22:58.500 But,

00:22:59.220 when we're

00:23:00.260 discussing it,

00:23:01.940 just understand

00:23:03.140 that people

00:23:03.920 are trying to conflate

00:23:05.000 two different questions.

00:23:06.560 One,

00:23:06.900 is it legal?

00:23:09.440 And the answer

00:23:10.380 is yes.

00:23:11.480 As far as I can tell,

00:23:13.420 it's legal

00:23:14.100 in some states

00:23:14.960 at nine months.

00:23:17.520 Has there ever been

00:23:19.000 even one example

00:23:20.360 where somebody

00:23:21.800 had a healthy mom

00:23:22.980 and a healthy

00:23:24.400 nine-month

00:23:25.160 baby inside them

00:23:26.840 and then aborted it

00:23:28.500 for,

00:23:29.020 let's say,

00:23:29.380 just didn't want it?

00:23:30.860 And then the doctor

00:23:31.640 said,

00:23:31.940 you know,

00:23:32.300 all right,

00:23:32.800 you really don't

00:23:33.340 want this baby

00:23:34.020 that's perfectly healthy

00:23:35.640 at nine months

00:23:36.520 and you're perfectly healthy

00:23:38.080 and there's no reason

00:23:39.280 you can't deliver it.

00:23:40.700 Yeah,

00:23:40.860 let's just abort this thing.

00:23:43.880 Has that ever happened

00:23:45.180 even once?

00:23:46.140 I don't know the answer

00:23:48.880 I don't know the answer

00:23:48.900 to my own question

00:23:49.800 but my belief is

00:23:52.280 it hasn't

00:23:52.900 in the whole country

00:23:54.480 ever.

00:23:55.560 Recently.

00:23:56.740 Recently.

00:23:57.560 Now,

00:23:57.820 some of you are going to say,

00:23:58.860 yes,

00:23:59.120 it has

00:23:59.520 but be careful.

00:24:02.040 You might be looking

00:24:02.740 at some cases

00:24:04.260 that everybody

00:24:05.180 would assume

00:24:05.820 were illegal.

00:24:08.020 Right?

00:24:08.380 It seems to me

00:24:09.500 that if,

00:24:10.580 even though the law

00:24:11.360 allows you to do it,

00:24:13.060 that if the doctor

00:24:13.940 and the mother

00:24:14.880 decided to do it

00:24:15.920 at nine months

00:24:16.740 and there was

00:24:18.360 no medical necessity

00:24:19.600 or even medical argument,

00:24:21.860 even,

00:24:22.540 not even necessity,

00:24:23.620 just an argument,

00:24:24.220 there's just

00:24:25.080 no medical argument,

00:24:26.760 do you think

00:24:27.140 that would be legal?

00:24:29.000 Think that doctor

00:24:29.780 would stay out of jail

00:24:30.680 and retain

00:24:31.760 his doctor license?

00:24:33.700 I don't think so.

00:24:35.700 I don't think so.

00:24:36.780 To me,

00:24:37.080 that would be murder.

00:24:38.680 But,

00:24:39.240 I ask you this question.

00:24:42.700 Regardless of whether

00:24:43.740 that law existed

00:24:44.700 or did not exist,

00:24:47.140 couldn't a mother 0.99

00:24:48.040 and a doctor

00:24:48.840 and whatever willing

00:24:50.260 nurses around,

00:24:52.100 can't they murder

00:24:52.840 babies now?

00:24:54.220 No matter what

00:24:55.000 the law says.

00:24:56.820 As long as nobody knows.

00:24:59.220 Right?

00:24:59.700 If the only people

00:25:00.700 who know about it

00:25:01.440 are the doctor

00:25:02.140 who's willing to say,

00:25:03.800 oh,

00:25:03.980 it was a medical necessity

00:25:05.060 even if it wasn't.

00:25:06.680 So,

00:25:07.040 the problem is

00:25:07.840 if people are willing

00:25:08.820 to do the worst thing

00:25:10.000 that humans could do,

00:25:12.120 the current law

00:25:13.920 or any other law

00:25:14.800 isn't going to stop them.

00:25:16.400 Because if nobody's watching,

00:25:18.500 well,

00:25:19.000 if people want to do it,

00:25:20.160 they're going to do it.

00:25:21.400 So,

00:25:21.840 I don't think

00:25:22.460 that

00:25:23.080 the risk

00:25:25.260 of having

00:25:25.740 a baby

00:25:26.280 in nine months

00:25:27.140 that's maybe

00:25:28.340 the abortion

00:25:29.140 didn't work

00:25:30.100 and the baby

00:25:30.620 was born alive.

00:25:32.260 I don't think

00:25:33.180 these are babies

00:25:33.840 that are going to survive.

00:25:35.760 Now,

00:25:36.300 again,

00:25:36.540 I'm not telling you

00:25:37.280 my opinion

00:25:37.880 on what it should be done.

00:25:39.360 I'm just clarifying

00:25:40.340 the issue.

00:25:41.660 That if you think

00:25:42.740 there's a whole bunch

00:25:43.880 of healthy babies

00:25:44.800 being born

00:25:45.360 and then killed

00:25:46.060 after they're born,

00:25:47.500 I think that's

00:25:48.240 probably zero.

00:25:48.840 And if it has

00:25:50.420 happened once,

00:25:51.480 that would just

00:25:52.420 be a murderer. 0.86

00:25:53.680 There are murderers.

00:25:55.520 Murderers exist.

00:25:57.200 So,

00:25:57.560 I'm not discounting

00:25:58.620 the fact that

00:25:59.120 there might be murder,

00:26:00.000 but it's got to be

00:26:00.660 so trivial

00:26:01.840 that it shouldn't

00:26:02.520 be part of the

00:26:03.120 discussion,

00:26:03.680 really.

00:26:04.760 In my opinion,

00:26:06.360 it is not worthy

00:26:07.260 of being in the discussion.

00:26:08.840 But,

00:26:09.320 here's the thing.

00:26:10.480 If you're in a

00:26:11.420 presidential race

00:26:12.380 and it's basically

00:26:13.140 a liar's race 0.98

00:26:14.260 and your opponent

00:26:15.340 says you're in favor

00:26:16.260 of a national

00:26:17.060 abortion ban

00:26:18.080 and you're not,

00:26:19.580 I don't have

00:26:20.120 any problem

00:26:20.760 whatsoever

00:26:21.340 with Trump

00:26:22.360 completely lying

00:26:23.480 that they're going

00:26:24.320 to allow healthy

00:26:25.020 babies born

00:26:25.700 in nine months

00:26:26.280 and then murder them. 0.54

00:26:27.660 That's not close

00:26:28.380 to true,

00:26:29.120 but neither

00:26:30.540 is the national

00:26:31.200 abortion ban.

00:26:32.440 So,

00:26:32.760 if they can both

00:26:33.420 just tell

00:26:34.200 outrageous lies

00:26:35.620 about what

00:26:36.600 the other believes,

00:26:38.540 if they're both

00:26:39.760 going to do it,

00:26:40.860 that's fine.

00:26:42.400 I think I would

00:26:43.020 have more trouble

00:26:44.200 with it

00:26:44.640 if one was

00:26:45.280 doing it

00:26:45.720 and the other

00:26:46.100 wasn't.

00:26:47.340 That would feel

00:26:48.000 like,

00:26:48.400 okay,

00:26:48.880 what's wrong

00:26:49.460 with this?

00:26:50.140 But if they're

00:26:50.620 both telling

00:26:51.180 outrageous lies,

00:26:53.100 in my opinion,

00:26:54.640 outrageous lies,

00:26:55.960 about what

00:26:56.620 the other

00:26:57.000 is planning

00:26:57.500 to do

00:26:57.920 or will do

00:26:58.500 or has done,

00:27:00.240 eh,

00:27:00.840 it's just

00:27:01.420 a liar's

00:27:01.960 competition,

00:27:02.600 I guess.

00:27:05.660 Anyway,

00:27:07.200 so,

00:27:10.220 but the important

00:27:11.020 thing you should

00:27:11.500 know is

00:27:11.920 Kamala Harris

00:27:12.920 announced she's

00:27:13.700 in favor

00:27:14.160 of mandatory

00:27:15.640 burkas. 0.91

00:27:16.960 Wow.

00:27:17.760 So,

00:27:18.080 apparently,

00:27:18.640 in order to

00:27:20.280 win the

00:27:20.800 Islamic vote

00:27:22.540 in the United

00:27:23.000 States,

00:27:23.640 Kamala Harris

00:27:24.160 has come out

00:27:24.720 in support

00:27:25.300 of all women

00:27:26.620 having to wear

00:27:27.220 mandatory,

00:27:28.140 you know,

00:27:28.540 full body

00:27:29.540 covering.

00:27:31.540 I told you

00:27:32.300 it's a liar's

00:27:33.020 contest.

00:27:33.820 If you can say

00:27:34.440 anything about

00:27:35.160 abortion,

00:27:36.140 you can just

00:27:36.680 make up any

00:27:37.320 shit you want, 0.93

00:27:38.060 right?

00:27:38.760 Fine people hoax,

00:27:39.960 drinking hoax,

00:27:41.160 drinking bleach hoax.

00:27:42.680 once it's a

00:27:44.180 liar's contest,

00:27:46.080 all the gloves

00:27:47.840 are off.

00:27:48.660 There's nothing

00:27:49.340 that it's not

00:27:49.940 in.

00:27:50.740 Oh,

00:27:51.060 yeah,

00:27:51.400 she's in favor

00:27:52.140 of eating

00:27:52.560 babies.

00:27:53.860 The babies

00:27:54.860 have to be in

00:27:55.500 burkas and

00:27:56.560 then abort it.

00:27:57.940 Let's just make

00:27:58.700 up any kind of

00:27:59.400 shit,

00:28:00.060 as long as we're

00:28:00.660 just making

00:28:01.000 stuff up.

00:28:03.200 All right,

00:28:03.740 CBS News

00:28:04.900 is warning

00:28:06.120 that there

00:28:07.500 might be

00:28:07.880 domestic violent

00:28:08.940 extremists

00:28:09.640 around the

00:28:10.180 election

00:28:10.580 because they

00:28:11.500 would have

00:28:11.800 election-related

00:28:12.600 grievances.

00:28:14.280 And let's

00:28:14.620 see,

00:28:14.860 domestic violent

00:28:15.940 extremists.

00:28:17.520 Do you think

00:28:18.000 they're talking

00:28:18.480 about Antifa?

00:28:20.140 Because they

00:28:20.740 would be

00:28:21.120 domestic and

00:28:22.500 extreme.

00:28:24.000 No.

00:28:24.980 I think that

00:28:25.840 they're trying

00:28:26.340 to set up

00:28:27.980 the country

00:28:28.480 so that if

00:28:29.600 they steal

00:28:30.100 the election,

00:28:30.780 which I do

00:28:31.440 believe they

00:28:32.000 plan to do,

00:28:32.840 the Democrats,

00:28:34.140 that they can

00:28:35.200 put you in

00:28:35.700 jail if you

00:28:36.280 resist.

00:28:37.520 So they'll

00:28:38.080 be saying,

00:28:38.860 well,

00:28:39.020 we told you

00:28:39.540 that the

00:28:40.140 domestic violent

00:28:41.020 extremists were

00:28:41.800 coming to

00:28:42.340 complain about

00:28:42.920 the election,

00:28:43.680 and here they

00:28:44.620 are.

00:28:45.580 But of course,

00:28:46.380 it's also

00:28:47.080 signaling a

00:28:47.940 strong intention

00:28:48.660 to rig the

00:28:49.300 election.

00:28:50.740 That's how I

00:28:51.500 hear it.

00:28:52.860 So am I

00:28:53.760 right?

00:28:54.780 I don't know.

00:28:56.260 I don't know.

00:28:57.140 I can't,

00:28:57.640 I mean,

00:28:58.420 I'm not magic.

00:28:59.340 I can't see

00:28:59.820 the future.

00:29:00.820 But the way I

00:29:01.700 receive this is,

00:29:02.780 oh my goodness,

00:29:03.500 the news

00:29:03.940 organizations which

00:29:04.960 we all know

00:29:05.500 are rigged.

00:29:06.760 are trying to

00:29:08.120 get us used

00:29:08.820 to the thought

00:29:09.480 that if you

00:29:10.760 are doing

00:29:11.240 anything,

00:29:12.460 protesting,

00:29:13.280 let's say,

00:29:13.900 or getting a

00:29:14.460 little too

00:29:15.120 agitated about

00:29:16.140 the election

00:29:16.580 results,

00:29:17.460 that you would

00:29:18.200 be called a

00:29:18.740 domestic violent

00:29:20.240 extremist,

00:29:21.340 and this is

00:29:22.280 just another way

00:29:22.940 to say you're

00:29:23.420 going to end

00:29:23.740 up in jail

00:29:24.360 if you complain

00:29:25.580 about the

00:29:26.000 election.

00:29:26.960 Now is that

00:29:27.520 literally what

00:29:28.440 they're doing

00:29:28.860 and saying

00:29:29.280 and why

00:29:29.660 they're doing

00:29:30.040 it?

00:29:30.280 I don't know.

00:29:31.880 That's how I

00:29:32.460 receive it,

00:29:33.040 though.

00:29:33.960 Under the

00:29:34.440 current circumstance,

00:29:35.520 that's how I

00:29:37.040 receive it.

00:29:38.500 I'm sure you

00:29:39.340 do, too.

00:29:41.560 Well, there's

00:29:42.540 accusations that

00:29:44.020 the Democrat

00:29:45.260 funding entity

00:29:47.220 called Act

00:29:47.940 to Blue

00:29:48.320 has been

00:29:49.440 acting as a

00:29:50.340 money laundering

00:29:51.140 organization

00:29:51.900 and that it's

00:29:53.360 not small

00:29:53.980 donations coming

00:29:54.900 in from all

00:29:55.700 over the

00:29:56.120 country,

00:29:56.940 but rather

00:29:57.380 there might

00:29:57.820 be some

00:29:58.260 rich sources

00:29:59.240 that are

00:30:00.940 laundering things

00:30:02.480 into smaller

00:30:03.160 donations and

00:30:04.040 putting it

00:30:04.440 through Act

00:30:04.860 Blue so it

00:30:05.420 looks like

00:30:05.840 it's all

00:30:06.260 appropriate.

00:30:08.080 And there

00:30:08.920 are some

00:30:09.300 attorney generals

00:30:10.060 from several

00:30:10.620 states looking

00:30:11.400 into it.

00:30:12.680 There is

00:30:13.200 strong indications

00:30:14.720 early on that

00:30:15.720 there is

00:30:16.060 something there.

00:30:17.120 You know,

00:30:17.340 there's a lot

00:30:17.720 of smoke.

00:30:18.540 We don't know

00:30:19.200 if there's

00:30:19.560 fire, but 0.82

00:30:20.200 where there's

00:30:20.780 smoke, there

00:30:22.080 often is.

00:30:23.200 Now, remember,

00:30:25.420 Act Blue is

00:30:26.440 not a government.

00:30:27.860 It's a bunch

00:30:28.420 of individuals

00:30:29.200 and an

00:30:29.660 organization.

00:30:31.380 Individuals are

00:30:32.720 innocent until

00:30:33.800 proven guilty.

00:30:35.460 So although

00:30:35.940 I say there

00:30:36.760 is a lot

00:30:38.020 of smoke,

00:30:39.240 we cannot

00:30:39.780 say there's

00:30:40.280 fire because

00:30:41.440 it doesn't

00:30:42.040 work that

00:30:42.360 way.

00:30:42.620 If it were

00:30:42.920 the government,

00:30:43.580 I'd say,

00:30:44.280 oh yeah,

00:30:45.180 there's so

00:30:45.580 much indication

00:30:46.220 they're going

00:30:46.580 to have to

00:30:46.880 prove they're

00:30:47.400 innocent or

00:30:48.560 all assume

00:30:49.020 they're guilty.

00:30:50.220 But these

00:30:50.860 are individuals

00:30:51.620 who can assume

00:30:53.060 they're innocent

00:30:53.800 unless somebody

00:30:54.600 has the goods,

00:30:55.640 which I haven't

00:30:56.220 seen yet.

00:31:13.060 All right.

00:31:15.180 CNN and some

00:31:16.680 of the left

00:31:17.640 leaning media

00:31:18.340 is trying to

00:31:19.840 make a big deal

00:31:20.560 about Elon

00:31:21.140 Musk supporting

00:31:22.020 Trump and

00:31:22.700 especially going

00:31:23.440 to the Trump

00:31:23.980 rally, etc.

00:31:25.020 and because

00:31:26.640 he owns a

00:31:27.320 big media

00:31:28.380 platform and

00:31:29.740 he's a billionaire

00:31:30.300 and he's putting

00:31:31.260 money into his

00:31:32.360 preferences,

00:31:33.460 they're saying

00:31:34.200 that he's

00:31:34.720 somehow distorting

00:31:36.300 the process.

00:31:37.840 But how do

00:31:38.780 they ignore

00:31:39.360 George Soros?

00:31:41.580 The only thing

00:31:42.720 that Musk

00:31:43.360 is doing

00:31:43.960 is trying to

00:31:45.160 match the

00:31:46.860 energy and

00:31:47.720 strategy of

00:31:48.520 the other

00:31:48.880 billionaires on

00:31:49.600 the other

00:31:49.860 side.

00:31:51.660 I don't see

00:31:52.700 him as being

00:31:53.240 the one

00:31:53.640 billionaire who

00:31:54.300 got involved

00:31:54.900 in politics.

00:31:56.880 Years ago,

00:31:57.680 somebody explained

00:31:58.420 to me the

00:31:58.960 best way to

00:31:59.520 understand

00:31:59.960 politics is

00:32:02.080 like Game

00:32:03.500 of Thrones,

00:32:04.660 meaning it's

00:32:05.720 a bunch of

00:32:06.440 kings,

00:32:07.220 these would be

00:32:07.760 the billionaires,

00:32:08.780 who are all

00:32:09.400 vying to be

00:32:10.100 the big king

00:32:11.120 of it all,

00:32:11.780 or at least

00:32:12.260 to influence

00:32:12.900 the things

00:32:13.280 they care

00:32:13.620 about.

00:32:14.680 And that if

00:32:15.460 you don't

00:32:15.760 understand it,

00:32:16.360 it's just a

00:32:16.800 billionaire

00:32:17.100 competition and

00:32:18.580 the people

00:32:18.940 running for

00:32:19.480 office are

00:32:20.020 always,

00:32:20.700 you know,

00:32:21.300 usually puppets

00:32:22.540 or patrons

00:32:23.120 of the

00:32:23.600 billionaires,

00:32:24.080 then you

00:32:25.040 don't really

00:32:25.860 understand the

00:32:26.520 country because

00:32:27.700 it's mostly a

00:32:28.480 billionaire fight

00:32:29.180 and the rest

00:32:29.900 of us are

00:32:30.400 pretending that

00:32:31.960 we know what's

00:32:32.540 going on but

00:32:33.160 don't.

00:32:34.640 The things we

00:32:35.560 see are like a

00:32:37.000 level below that

00:32:37.920 reality, so we're

00:32:39.560 just seeing the

00:32:40.120 weeds, we're not

00:32:41.720 seeing the sky.

00:32:42.900 The sky is just

00:32:43.880 the billionaires

00:32:44.480 fighting with each

00:32:45.180 other, trying to

00:32:46.600 gain authority or

00:32:48.080 resources or

00:32:48.820 whatever.

00:32:49.020 Now, Trump

00:32:51.920 kind of broke

00:32:52.580 that because

00:32:53.400 he came in as

00:32:54.220 his own

00:32:54.580 billionaire, but

00:32:56.200 he also has

00:32:56.780 billionaire donors,

00:32:58.400 right?

00:32:58.760 So he's got a

00:32:59.720 few billionaires on

00:33:00.560 his side as

00:33:01.060 well.

00:33:02.560 So there's

00:33:02.940 Peter Thiel,

00:33:04.100 for example,

00:33:05.260 and who's the

00:33:07.080 widow of the

00:33:10.640 Las Vegas

00:33:11.640 casino guy?

00:33:13.800 I can't remember.

00:33:15.320 Anyway, so he's

00:33:16.040 got his own

00:33:16.460 billionaires.

00:33:16.940 But why they

00:33:18.780 think that

00:33:19.400 Musk is somehow

00:33:20.560 special, and he

00:33:22.140 is more special

00:33:22.960 than Mark Cuban

00:33:23.940 being on TV

00:33:24.800 every day, or

00:33:26.460 Reid Hoffman

00:33:28.240 being the

00:33:29.140 biggest funder.

00:33:32.220 So why is he

00:33:33.220 special?

00:33:34.440 What makes

00:33:35.060 Elon Musk the

00:33:36.260 one billionaire

00:33:36.880 who's not

00:33:37.460 supposed to be

00:33:38.460 actively using

00:33:40.120 his money and

00:33:40.760 power and

00:33:41.220 influence to

00:33:41.840 influence the

00:33:44.380 election?

00:33:44.700 everything he's

00:33:48.040 doing is

00:33:49.520 completely

00:33:50.060 legal, and

00:33:51.000 where it needs

00:33:51.620 to be, it's

00:33:52.100 transparent.

00:33:53.580 Is that a

00:33:54.300 problem?

00:33:55.600 No.

00:33:56.440 You know, I can

00:33:57.540 put up a lot

00:33:58.460 with a lot when

00:33:59.760 there's transparency.

00:34:01.760 So this is why I

00:34:02.860 don't complain as

00:34:03.640 much about

00:34:04.400 AIPAC, the

00:34:07.180 Israel lobby

00:34:08.700 that some say is

00:34:09.960 running the

00:34:11.040 United States

00:34:11.660 policy, at least

00:34:12.740 on the Middle

00:34:13.180 East.

00:34:13.920 Now, I say,

00:34:15.380 yeah, they're

00:34:15.760 very influential.

00:34:17.440 Yes, they

00:34:17.980 absolutely have a

00:34:19.700 lot of control

00:34:20.520 over the

00:34:21.740 government.

00:34:22.840 But then I

00:34:23.660 say, it's all

00:34:24.840 transparent.

00:34:26.440 The reason that

00:34:27.320 we believe that

00:34:28.320 AIPAC has a

00:34:29.200 lot of control

00:34:29.820 over our

00:34:30.260 government is

00:34:31.240 that we can

00:34:31.680 just look at

00:34:32.200 the data, and

00:34:33.320 we can look at

00:34:33.900 how much they

00:34:34.300 donated, and

00:34:35.500 then we can

00:34:35.940 look at what

00:34:36.580 they vote for,

00:34:37.760 and then, oh,

00:34:38.660 yeah, it's really

00:34:39.520 obvious they have

00:34:40.280 a lot of

00:34:40.580 influence.

00:34:41.000 But, completely

00:34:43.380 legally, completely

00:34:45.600 transparent, there's

00:34:47.440 nobody who's fooled

00:34:48.320 by it, there's no

00:34:49.320 trickery involved, and

00:34:51.220 these are our laws, and

00:34:53.560 it's free speech.

00:34:54.900 So you can hate it

00:34:56.140 all you want, but

00:34:58.140 personally, I just, I'm

00:35:00.740 just prevented from

00:35:02.320 full-throated, you 0.99

00:35:04.340 know, complaining about

00:35:05.340 it, because we built

00:35:06.900 this system.

00:35:08.060 It's our system, we

00:35:09.080 built it.

00:35:09.880 If we want to change

00:35:10.920 the system and make

00:35:11.820 it so that nobody

00:35:12.520 can influence with

00:35:14.080 money, we can do

00:35:15.060 that, but we don't

00:35:17.080 have a system that

00:35:18.020 can change itself that

00:35:19.380 way, because the

00:35:20.680 people in it need

00:35:21.400 that money, and they

00:35:22.340 don't want it to go

00:35:22.960 away.

00:35:25.540 So, anyway, yeah,

00:35:26.960 billionaires in

00:35:27.620 politics, I would say

00:35:29.100 the only thing I'll

00:35:29.820 ask is for lots of

00:35:31.380 transparency, but let's

00:35:33.740 not be naive.

00:35:35.460 it's always going to

00:35:36.960 be billionaires

00:35:37.660 fighting, and, you

00:35:39.120 know, we'll think it's

00:35:40.160 something else while

00:35:40.900 we're lost in the

00:35:41.560 weeds.

00:35:43.060 Well, I do remember

00:35:44.080 that there was this

00:35:45.260 big prisoner swap

00:35:47.200 where Putin wanted

00:35:48.320 back the merchant of

00:35:49.460 death guy, Victor

00:35:51.120 Bout. 0.65

00:35:52.560 So he was this big

00:35:53.300 arms dealer, and we

00:35:55.780 had him, and they

00:35:58.400 had, who was it,

00:36:01.320 the Griner, the

00:36:03.380 basketball player, and

00:36:06.060 we traded the

00:36:07.100 basketball player for

00:36:07.980 the arms dealer, and

00:36:09.620 the basketball player

00:36:10.700 went back to play

00:36:11.640 basketball, and the

00:36:13.020 arms dealer is arming

00:36:15.560 the Houthis.

00:36:17.960 I'm not so sure that

00:36:19.600 deal worked out,

00:36:21.020 because the Houthis

00:36:22.360 are the ones who are

00:36:23.340 going to block up

00:36:24.700 international trade,

00:36:26.080 which will cause your

00:36:27.000 inflation to go up,

00:36:28.420 which will make you not

00:36:29.800 be able to afford to

00:36:30.840 be retired.

00:36:31.560 So, you know, on

00:36:39.640 one hand, I like the

00:36:42.200 fact that the United

00:36:43.120 States will do whatever

00:36:44.980 it needs to do to get a

00:36:46.260 citizen out of jail, or

00:36:48.060 at least they'll try

00:36:48.680 pretty hard.

00:36:49.560 And this is definitely

00:36:50.560 trying hard, because

00:36:52.240 what they gave up to

00:36:53.140 get this one basketball

00:36:54.440 player was seriously

00:36:57.700 bad.

00:36:58.240 So, I guess I have

00:37:00.520 mixed feelings about

00:37:01.320 this.

00:37:01.980 I can't give you a

00:37:03.860 preference.

00:37:04.700 I'm glad we got back

00:37:05.720 an American, but boy,

00:37:07.860 was that expensive.

00:37:09.460 I mean, that could be a

00:37:11.100 trillion dollars.

00:37:12.640 But we got back one

00:37:13.780 American, and that's not 1.00

00:37:15.940 nothing.

00:37:17.220 You know, I do

00:37:18.560 appreciate living in a

00:37:19.900 country where they're

00:37:21.720 going to burn down

00:37:23.020 anything they need to

00:37:24.600 to get you freed from

00:37:26.200 another country.

00:37:26.880 Now, I'm oversimplifying

00:37:29.260 because it's always

00:37:29.860 political on top of

00:37:30.980 that, but, you know,

00:37:33.320 this is disturbing no

00:37:34.960 matter how you look at

00:37:35.760 it.

00:37:36.980 Meanwhile, Kamala

00:37:38.300 Harris was on 60

00:37:39.760 Minutes with her usual

00:37:41.160 word salad.

00:37:43.100 You know that, just

00:37:45.420 think about this.

00:37:47.060 Every time Kamala 0.73

00:37:48.260 Harris does a public

00:37:49.260 anything that's

00:37:50.940 unscripted, the next

00:37:52.720 day, all the news will

00:37:53.840 be about how she didn't

00:37:54.760 make any sense.

00:37:55.560 And she was, totally

00:37:57.760 looked like an idiot. 0.86

00:37:59.200 Now, I'm going to say

00:38:00.280 she seems the dumbest 0.99

00:38:01.540 presidential candidate

00:38:03.540 I've ever seen.

00:38:04.800 How many of you would

00:38:05.680 agree with that?

00:38:07.000 Is she the dumbest 1.00

00:38:08.100 presidential campaign

00:38:10.120 you've ever seen?

00:38:12.720 We've seen some VPs

00:38:14.020 that were not exactly

00:38:15.300 lighting up the

00:38:16.220 universe.

00:38:17.980 But as a presidential

00:38:19.240 candidate, I think

00:38:21.100 she comes off, I mean,

00:38:23.220 I don't know how she'd

00:38:23.940 do an IQ test, but she

00:38:25.580 comes off as the

00:38:26.480 dumbest one I've ever

00:38:27.360 seen.

00:38:28.160 Here's an exact quote

00:38:29.680 when asked about

00:38:31.880 the U.S.'s

00:38:34.680 relationship with

00:38:36.420 Israel, especially in

00:38:37.520 the context of what's

00:38:38.440 happening over there

00:38:39.040 now.

00:38:39.720 And she was talking to

00:38:41.080 somebody named Bill.

00:38:43.320 And she said, and I

00:38:44.620 quote, well, Bill,

00:38:45.860 the work that we have

00:38:48.880 done has resulted in a

00:38:50.880 number of movements in

00:38:52.840 that region by Israel

00:38:54.260 that were very much

00:38:55.720 prompted by or result of

00:38:57.960 many things, including

00:38:59.260 our advocacy for what

00:39:01.100 needs to happen in the

00:39:02.260 region.

00:39:05.780 What?

00:39:08.000 What?

00:39:09.820 That doesn't even sound

00:39:11.580 like you did your

00:39:13.420 homework for being the

00:39:14.960 president.

00:39:17.120 That is so embarrassing.

00:39:20.540 That is pathetic.

00:39:22.760 If you want a word that

00:39:24.260 will cause young people to

00:39:25.860 not vote for, go with

00:39:27.820 pathetic.

00:39:29.440 Because they're thinking

00:39:30.540 that Trump is dangerous.

00:39:33.280 Do you think they're going

00:39:34.420 to vote for dangerous or

00:39:36.540 pathetic?

00:39:38.120 If you're young, pathetic

00:39:39.660 is worse.

00:39:41.340 Dangerous is, well,

00:39:43.060 especially if you're male.

00:39:44.120 Did you say he's

00:39:45.700 dangerous?

00:39:46.780 What's his name again?

00:39:48.340 And he's dangerous, you

00:39:49.360 say.

00:39:50.480 Hmm.

00:39:51.660 I'm kind of attracted to

00:39:53.160 the dangerous one.

00:39:54.920 But nobody, nobody, male or

00:39:57.780 female, old or young, is 0.67

00:39:59.540 attracted to pathetic.

00:40:03.100 Her performance in these

00:40:05.860 realms where she's

00:40:06.740 unscripted is pathetic.

00:40:08.800 It's pathetic.

00:40:09.560 And that's, that is a killer,

00:40:12.440 kill shot word.

00:40:14.100 You, you can't get people to

00:40:16.420 endorse somebody who's

00:40:17.620 pathetic.

00:40:19.220 So I would use that.

00:40:20.660 It's probably too late to

00:40:21.840 influence anybody at this

00:40:22.780 point, but that's, that's

00:40:24.780 your, uh, your persuasion

00:40:26.800 lesson for the day is that the

00:40:28.320 word pathetic is super

00:40:29.760 powerful.

00:40:31.100 Dangerous?

00:40:32.020 Not so much.

00:40:33.020 You know, unless it's real.

00:40:34.880 If everybody agreed that they

00:40:36.500 were in immediate danger, then

00:40:38.000 the danger would be much more

00:40:39.500 persuasive.

00:40:40.540 But when the, when the danger is

00:40:42.580 sort of this political rhetoric

00:40:45.020 danger, people don't exactly feel

00:40:47.840 that is real.

00:40:48.560 Um, but pathetic they do.

00:40:52.420 Yeah.

00:40:52.700 Pathetic is a conversation

00:40:54.180 ender.

00:40:54.980 Use that one.

00:40:58.100 Anyway, she also said, uh, when

00:41:00.780 asked about her economic plan, she

00:41:02.420 said, quote, my plan is about

00:41:04.440 saying when you invest in small

00:41:06.040 businesses, you invest in the

00:41:07.420 middle class.

00:41:09.820 My plan is about saying.

00:41:13.480 So her plan is to say things.

00:41:15.380 Her plan is to say things.

00:41:20.320 What?

00:41:21.700 So CBS follows up and says, uh,

00:41:24.260 the question was, how are you

00:41:26.060 going to pay for it?

00:41:31.940 Now it's funnier.

00:41:33.480 Now that you know, the question

00:41:34.640 was, how are you going to pay for

00:41:35.740 it?

00:41:36.100 Now listen to her answer of how

00:41:37.560 she's going to pay for her 1.00

00:41:38.580 policies.

00:41:39.900 My plan is about saying when you

00:41:41.280 invest in small businesses, you

00:41:43.060 invest in the middle class.

00:41:45.380 Uh, the question was, how are

00:41:47.960 you going to pay for it?

00:41:50.960 And then she said, I'm going to

00:41:52.420 make sure the richest among us

00:41:54.120 pay their fair share in taxes.

00:41:57.240 Then CBS, but we're dealing with

00:41:59.700 the real world here.

00:42:01.540 How are you going to get this

00:42:02.960 done?

00:42:04.300 And then she said something about

00:42:05.800 all Congress knows it has to be

00:42:07.340 done, which is not a real answer.

00:42:08.660 Um, so pathetic, not, not bad.

00:42:16.020 Bad is better than pathetic.

00:42:18.160 You know, there, there's like

00:42:19.400 great job, good job, pretty good

00:42:21.360 job, um, poor job, terrible job,

00:42:24.480 bad job.

00:42:25.060 Uh, and then below all of them

00:42:26.720 is this.

00:42:29.320 It's not even good enough to say

00:42:31.080 it's bad.

00:42:31.820 It's just, well, that's kind of

00:42:33.900 pathetic.

00:42:36.160 So not exactly who I want to be the

00:42:38.460 brand of my country.

00:42:39.420 There's another big migrant 1.00

00:42:41.380 caravan being organized south of

00:42:43.860 the border.

00:42:45.000 Um, this could be a bad visual if

00:42:48.940 that caravan starts crossing, uh,

00:42:51.780 and maybe there's a big fight over

00:42:53.160 it and they get stranded at the

00:42:54.800 border and there are lots of

00:42:56.460 visuals of the massive number of

00:42:58.460 people coming across the border or

00:42:59.860 trying to, uh, it could actually

00:43:01.920 move the election.

00:43:03.480 You know, if the major news covers

00:43:06.200 it, so they won't.

00:43:09.420 Fox news is going to have, you

00:43:12.920 know, wall to wall pictures of

00:43:14.240 the migrant caravan.

00:43:15.880 And if you go to CNN, they'll be

00:43:17.780 like, and there's a caravan, uh,

00:43:20.720 in our next story, Trump said

00:43:24.200 something we don't think is true.

00:43:26.440 But what about that caravan?

00:43:28.480 Oh, there's a caravan.

00:43:29.500 And then Trump said something else

00:43:31.260 we don't think is true.

00:43:32.600 We're going to fact check them.

00:43:34.860 So you won't hear much about that

00:43:36.600 except on Fox news.

00:43:39.420 Now, the other thing affecting the

00:43:42.280 election, as we all know, is the

00:43:44.120 North Carolina, the hurricane, um,

00:43:47.620 has made it impossible to

00:43:48.960 communicate or travel for a huge

00:43:51.460 number of people in North Carolina.

00:43:53.420 Our concern number one, just so I

00:43:56.160 make sure I say that first is the

00:43:57.740 lives and the wellbeing, um, and

00:44:00.500 the survival of the people there.

00:44:02.660 The destruction is massive and

00:44:04.580 unprecedented.

00:44:05.240 Some of the worst things you've

00:44:07.680 ever seen, and maybe it's not

00:44:09.080 getting better as fast as it

00:44:11.280 should.

00:44:12.740 So saying that first, there is also

00:44:16.100 a political element to it that can't

00:44:18.660 be ignored.

00:44:19.680 But here's my question.

00:44:21.480 When I found out my friend got a

00:44:24.600 great deal on a wool coat from

00:44:26.200 Winners, I started wondering, is

00:44:28.760 every fabulous item I see from

00:44:30.780 Winners?

00:44:31.620 Like that woman over there with the 1.00

00:44:33.200 designer jeans.

00:44:34.320 Are those from Winners?

00:44:35.840 Ooh, or those beautiful gold

00:44:37.440 earrings.

00:44:38.300 Did she pay full price?

00:44:39.660 Or that leather tote?

00:44:40.660 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:44:41.900 Or those knee-high boots?

00:44:43.340 That dress?

00:44:44.120 That jacket?

00:44:44.800 Those shoes?

00:44:45.820 Is anyone paying full price for

00:44:47.820 anything?

00:44:48.760 Stop wondering.

00:44:50.020 Start winning.

00:44:50.580 Winners find fabulous for less.

00:44:54.900 Take this setup.

00:44:56.840 There's a natural disaster.

00:44:59.000 So there are physical limitations

00:45:01.200 to voting.

00:45:02.560 People have lost their ballots.

00:45:05.180 So now if they were going to do

00:45:06.440 mail-in ballots, it might be too

00:45:08.840 late or too hard to even get the

00:45:10.300 new ballots because, again, there's

00:45:11.740 no transportation.

00:45:13.680 You know, they don't have the

00:45:14.540 internet to order new ballots.

00:45:16.680 So you've got lots of Republicans

00:45:20.080 and you've got physical obstacles.

00:45:24.500 Roads are washed out and

00:45:26.800 communication is broken.

00:45:29.620 But I get back to my first point.

00:45:31.460 It's filled with Republicans.

00:45:36.240 So now game it out in your head.

00:45:38.760 If you were going to, if you were

00:45:40.160 going to write this movie, what

00:45:42.060 happens?

00:45:43.140 It's full of Republicans.

00:45:45.300 They know that their votes in their

00:45:47.680 state could be the difference between

00:45:50.540 Trump and Harris.

00:45:53.120 But there's huge physical problems, like

00:45:57.320 big, big physical problems.

00:45:59.440 The road is just washed out, like

00:46:01.600 lots of roads washed out.

00:46:03.940 So what happens?

00:46:06.280 Game it out in your head.

00:46:08.300 Republicans equals trucks, probably 0.97

00:46:12.220 lots of trucks.

00:46:14.260 Republican equals power tools,

00:46:17.720 bulldozers, ATVs.

00:46:19.460 Physical labor.

00:46:23.820 And don't fuck with me.

00:46:28.140 Put it all together.

00:46:30.900 Republicans, trucks, ATVs,

00:46:33.260 bulldovers, earth movers,

00:46:35.620 physical labor.

00:46:37.680 Don't fuck with me.

00:46:40.540 There is some chance, and I don't

00:46:42.980 want to get optimistic because, you

00:46:44.700 know, they're dealing with very

00:46:46.840 survival.

00:46:47.460 So survival comes first.

00:46:50.400 But it seems to me that if the

00:46:52.180 Republicans as a group could

00:46:54.160 communicate, and again, they can't

00:46:55.880 communicate, so organizing might be

00:46:57.920 tough.

00:46:58.520 But I don't know if they need to

00:47:00.200 communicate because everybody knows

00:47:02.540 what they need to do.

00:47:04.720 Men.

00:47:07.040 They know what they need to do.

00:47:08.800 They need to figure out how to build

00:47:11.540 temporary bridges.

00:47:13.380 And if they can't build a temporary

00:47:15.140 bridge, they need to figure out how to

00:47:17.280 drive up to it, unload the senior

00:47:19.600 citizens, put them on a boat, cross 1.00

00:47:21.460 them over, put them on the next

00:47:23.260 pickup truck, and take them to the

00:47:24.740 next place that they need to cross

00:47:26.100 another road or another something

00:47:28.100 washed out.

00:47:30.280 I think that Republicans might

00:47:33.620 self-organize, meaning that they will

00:47:36.820 realize that the government can't fix

00:47:39.660 the roads in time.

00:47:40.960 And if they let the country down, they're

00:47:43.540 going to know that they let the country

00:47:44.780 down.

00:47:46.020 And Republicans don't do that. 0.56

00:47:48.780 Not the men.

00:47:50.180 You know, the women either. 0.99

00:47:51.100 But the men will be moving the big

00:47:53.200 equipment and driving the trucks and

00:47:55.840 building the workaround.

00:47:57.800 I've got a feeling that already there's a

00:48:01.040 whole bunch of bulldozers and trucks and

00:48:04.380 stuff going on.

00:48:05.360 I think there are people with chainsaws

00:48:07.920 taking down trees and building

00:48:09.600 temporary workarounds to the roads

00:48:12.220 that are out.

00:48:13.300 How long would it take a state that's

00:48:16.900 packed with Republicans to make temporary

00:48:20.540 roads and workarounds and transportation

00:48:22.840 and then organize caravans so if your car

00:48:26.740 can't go through the mud, don't worry.

00:48:29.280 You get in the back of a pickup truck and

00:48:31.540 it will take you the half a mile through

00:48:32.980 the mud, then you get to another bus, you

00:48:35.460 get on the bus, the bus takes you to

00:48:38.120 maybe not even the regular polling place

00:48:40.300 because that already washed away, but it

00:48:42.260 takes you to the temporary ones that they

00:48:44.740 set up because they had to.

00:48:47.440 Now, imagine the images of that.

00:48:53.740 Imagine watching it happen in the, say,

00:48:56.900 three weeks up before the election,

00:48:59.160 watching the chainsaws come out, the

00:49:01.720 the earth movers come out, the pickup

00:49:03.980 trucks come out.

00:49:05.300 They'd have to figure out how to get gas to

00:49:07.180 all these people because it's not easy to

00:49:08.940 even get gas.

00:49:10.660 And they'd have to figure out how to

00:49:12.320 coordinate and they could probably do it

00:49:14.400 without communications.

00:49:16.120 So you send one truck up into the

00:49:18.280 stranded community and you say, on

00:49:20.820 election day, there's going to be a truck

00:49:23.120 here and it's going to take anybody who

00:49:24.800 wants to vote.

00:49:25.860 Tell everybody.

00:49:27.640 Telling everybody will get done if they

00:49:30.280 don't have internet and stuff, they're all

00:49:32.460 talking, right?

00:49:33.680 They're all on the side.

00:49:34.500 They're all talking.

00:49:35.660 So you could potentially coordinate the

00:49:40.340 most massive Patriot caravan that the

00:49:43.920 country has ever seen.

00:49:45.660 It would be visually as inspiring as the

00:49:48.980 Canadian truckers because the thing that

00:49:52.640 Canadian truckers got right is the

00:49:55.240 tonnage, right?

00:49:57.540 It wasn't a bunch of people, it was the

00:49:59.940 tonnage.

00:50:01.040 They were moving gigantic amounts of

00:50:03.060 weight in the form of trucks and putting

00:50:05.720 them where they wanted it.

00:50:07.380 So there's something about persuasion and

00:50:09.700 humans that when you see humans moving

00:50:11.560 tonnage, that means something more than

00:50:14.920 somebody just talking.

00:50:16.160 Hey, here's my piece of paper.

00:50:18.200 Read my piece of paper.

00:50:20.140 All right, that's kind of weak.

00:50:21.780 But if you see somebody with a bulldozer, if

00:50:25.300 you see somebody who built their own

00:50:26.880 temporary bridge because they had to, and

00:50:29.520 they did it with a chainsaw and they just

00:50:33.400 like knocked down a couple of big trees and

00:50:35.920 then put some boards across and said, it's

00:50:38.200 not safe, but it works.

00:50:42.040 You could see the most inspiring thing that

00:50:44.360 we've ever seen in, you know, recent

00:50:46.920 American history, maybe.

00:50:48.560 But will it happen?

00:50:52.180 Well, some of it depends on whether the

00:50:54.280 regular recovery is good enough that people

00:50:56.780 think they have a way to get to the, because

00:50:59.120 three weeks is a long time to go without

00:51:01.480 roads.

00:51:02.880 So I think that some official FEMA or

00:51:06.560 government entities would be working hard as

00:51:09.360 well to make sure those roads are passable in

00:51:11.800 three weeks.

00:51:12.340 So we'll see.

00:51:14.680 But I'm going to put my confidence in the

00:51:19.220 citizens of North Carolina.

00:51:22.020 I think that they're going to work just as

00:51:25.760 hard to recover from their own disaster as

00:51:29.400 they will be to make sure that the country is

00:51:31.400 served.

00:51:33.020 I think that's who they are.

00:51:35.180 So we'll find out.

00:51:36.740 It's sort of a deep character test.

00:51:39.540 What I would expect of people is to take

00:51:42.920 care of themselves and take care of their

00:51:45.500 neighbors.

00:51:46.200 That's the only thing I'd expect.

00:51:48.420 That's way enough.

00:51:51.640 But they do have a certain character.

00:51:56.020 And maybe they will do all of that stuff,

00:52:00.780 taking care of their neighbors, taking care

00:52:02.360 of their families, and also take care of

00:52:05.020 the country.

00:52:06.680 Because I think that's just who they are.

00:52:08.340 But we'll find out.

00:52:10.820 So North Carolina, we're counting on you.

00:52:14.280 Pennsylvania, we're counting on you.

00:52:18.920 Georgia, it's time.

00:52:23.220 It's time.

00:52:24.680 Men, it's time.

00:52:27.840 I saw a...

00:52:30.260 Well, let's do this.

00:52:32.320 I realized yesterday that Trump could have

00:52:36.140 the weirdest record of all presidential

00:52:38.380 candidates, which is that he could win

00:52:41.320 three out of four contests.

00:52:45.200 Because if you think about it, he won in

00:52:47.360 2016, so he's got one in the books.

00:52:50.000 But he also beat Biden.

00:52:52.940 He beat Biden.

00:52:54.820 Right?

00:52:55.380 It didn't...

00:52:56.000 He didn't go all the way to Election Day.

00:52:57.520 But Biden got nominated, and Trump beat him.

00:53:01.520 Would you agree?

00:53:03.600 He got replaced, but I call that a win.

00:53:06.620 Trump beat him.

00:53:08.100 So he's two for two.

00:53:10.820 Now, 2020, you could say, okay,

00:53:12.800 technically, the system says he lost in 2020.

00:53:16.320 Now, what if he wins this time?

00:53:20.220 If he beats Biden,

00:53:22.820 Harris,

00:53:25.760 and Hillary Clinton, 1.00

00:53:27.380 he will have won three out of four

00:53:29.840 presidential elections.

00:53:33.060 Let's take it to the next extreme.

00:53:36.880 If we someday find out how the 2020 election

00:53:40.000 was stolen, because I think most of you

00:53:42.260 think it was stolen.

00:53:43.220 I do.

00:53:43.520 He will have won four out of four

00:53:46.260 presidential races.

00:53:49.920 And that's not impossible.

00:53:52.400 He might actually win

00:53:53.940 four out of four.

00:53:57.920 Remember when I told you I thought he was

00:53:59.640 the most persuasive

00:54:01.000 human I've ever seen?

00:54:03.620 You know, politician for sure.

00:54:06.120 You can't get much more persuasive

00:54:07.940 than winning four out of four

00:54:09.240 presidential elections

00:54:10.380 when the entire media machine

00:54:12.540 is against you.

00:54:14.200 That's pretty impressive.

00:54:15.980 Now, I'm not going to say,

00:54:17.380 I'm not going to call that a fact,

00:54:19.120 because the 2020 election

00:54:21.020 is more of an opinion.

00:54:22.540 In my opinion,

00:54:23.460 we haven't had fair elections

00:54:25.440 probably in my lifetime.

00:54:28.100 There's nothing about the way

00:54:29.480 our system is set up

00:54:30.600 that suggests it's intended to be fair.

00:54:34.400 You'd have to meet the first standard.

00:54:36.760 The first standard for me is,

00:54:38.660 can you tell me that it even looks like

00:54:40.380 it was intended to be fair?

00:54:42.180 And it doesn't really meet

00:54:43.420 the first standard.

00:54:44.520 You don't even have to check

00:54:45.560 if it's fair.

00:54:47.120 It's designed

00:54:47.920 where you just look at it

00:54:49.400 and go,

00:54:49.780 really?

00:54:51.200 You mean I wouldn't know

00:54:52.620 if somebody mailed in a vote

00:54:53.840 or if the mailman threw it away?

00:54:56.240 That's your design,

00:54:57.480 and I'm supposed to believe

00:54:58.380 that that's fair?

00:54:59.000 All right.

00:55:01.780 So he could go four for four.

00:55:04.780 Speaking of polling,

00:55:06.040 Rasmussen says

00:55:07.020 their new numbers have Trump

00:55:08.460 up by two nationally,

00:55:10.180 two points nationally.

00:55:12.360 And Atlas Intel,

00:55:13.960 who, by the way,

00:55:14.960 you should know,

00:55:16.260 Rasmussen and Atlas Intel

00:55:17.860 have been in the top five.

00:55:21.300 So they're both top five pollsters.

00:55:23.500 Now, top five is really,

00:55:24.960 really good

00:55:25.460 because there are a lot of pollsters.

00:55:27.140 So if you're in the top five,

00:55:30.360 I mean, that's pretty impressive.

00:55:32.340 So in recent election,

00:55:34.080 they're both top five.

00:55:35.900 So Atlas Intel has them up three.

00:55:39.560 Now, keep in mind,

00:55:41.340 I think I'm right about this,

00:55:43.640 that if everything goes

00:55:45.680 in a normal fashion,

00:55:47.420 if a Republican is up two or three,

00:55:50.340 that's a landslide

00:55:51.380 in the electoral vote

00:55:52.980 because Republicans can win nationally

00:55:55.580 if they're below

00:55:56.660 the competitor

00:55:58.940 in the national election.

00:56:00.820 So when you look

00:56:01.380 at the national election,

00:56:03.140 you really shouldn't be seeing

00:56:04.800 a Republican ahead at all.

00:56:07.020 They should be a few points behind

00:56:08.560 even if they're going to win.

00:56:10.720 But if you're a few points ahead

00:56:12.200 in two of the most accurate polls

00:56:14.680 a few weeks before the election,

00:56:18.040 the landslide signal

00:56:20.040 has gone from

00:56:21.200 a faint hum

00:56:22.980 to sort of a beep, beep, beep, beep, beep.

00:56:27.880 Not guaranteed.

00:56:29.660 Still a lot of time before the election.

00:56:31.460 Could be more surprises.

00:56:33.420 You know, the future is unpredictable.

00:56:35.240 But at the moment,

00:56:36.260 the landslide signal

00:56:37.460 is very distinct.

00:56:40.240 And you should expect

00:56:41.480 that the other pollsters

00:56:42.520 are likely to converge

00:56:45.220 on Rasmussen

00:56:46.040 and Atlas Intel

00:56:47.920 because I suspect

00:56:49.340 that they use

00:56:51.060 a more reasonable

00:56:51.960 set of assumptions

00:56:52.840 for the mix

00:56:53.900 of who's actually going to vote,

00:56:55.140 how many Democrats

00:56:55.940 and how many Republicans.

00:56:57.280 Because there are a few different ways

00:56:58.560 you can measure that.

00:57:00.320 You can say,

00:57:01.020 well, it's the same

00:57:01.720 as this prior election

00:57:02.760 or it's the same

00:57:03.560 as the people

00:57:04.080 who say they're going to vote.

00:57:05.580 There's a whole bunch of ways

00:57:06.520 to say whether somebody's

00:57:07.800 likely to vote

00:57:08.700 and that's the whole game.

00:57:11.140 The likelihood.

00:57:11.920 The likelihood.

00:57:14.380 Anyway,

00:57:15.540 here's a persuasion tip for you.

00:57:19.040 I've tried to give this one,

00:57:20.200 but maybe I did it better this time.

00:57:22.800 If you're a politician

00:57:24.640 and you're in this race

00:57:26.340 and you go on the news

00:57:28.240 and let's say you're a Republican

00:57:29.640 and somebody says,

00:57:30.980 when the election comes in

00:57:33.220 and if Trump doesn't win,

00:57:36.540 will you accept the outcome?

00:57:38.960 Will you accept the vote?

00:57:40.060 Now, this is not a sincere question.

00:57:45.520 A sincere question would be,

00:57:47.460 hmm, I'd like to know

00:57:48.280 the answer to that question

00:57:49.260 and I believe my audience would too.

00:57:51.240 So I'm going to ask

00:57:51.900 the sincere question

00:57:52.920 because I don't know the answer.

00:57:54.920 It's not a sincere question.

00:57:57.120 It's a priming question.

00:57:59.780 The priming is to see

00:58:01.500 if you'll trap yourself.

00:58:03.460 If you say,

00:58:04.480 well, I don't know,

00:58:05.220 it depends,

00:58:06.520 then you've just outed yourself

00:58:08.040 as someone who will not respect

00:58:09.800 the democratic process,

00:58:11.220 you're probably a dictator.

00:58:13.000 So that's the trap

00:58:14.000 they're trying to set up.

00:58:15.580 But if you go the other way,

00:58:18.780 so you can't win by saying,

00:58:20.280 I don't know,

00:58:20.940 maybe I won't.

00:58:22.180 You'll definitely lose

00:58:23.180 if you say no

00:58:23.960 or if you don't say yes.

00:58:26.300 But suppose you say yes.

00:58:28.580 Well, you just found

00:58:29.640 a second way to lose.

00:58:31.580 So it's sort of a,

00:58:32.600 do you still beat your spouse?

00:58:35.660 It's the yes doesn't work

00:58:37.140 and the no doesn't work,

00:58:38.220 which is how you know

00:58:38.980 it's not a sincere question.

00:58:40.600 If you could lose

00:58:41.760 just as badly

00:58:42.560 by saying yes

00:58:43.420 as saying no,

00:58:44.800 it's not a real question,

00:58:46.560 right?

00:58:46.840 It's a political question.

00:58:49.020 So how do you answer

00:58:49.780 a question that's a setup?

00:58:52.400 Here's the way you do it.

00:58:54.080 You call out the setup

00:58:55.600 and you say,

00:58:58.700 so ask me the question,

00:59:00.380 Scott,

00:59:01.500 will you accept the election

00:59:03.100 if Trump doesn't win

00:59:05.700 and you support Trump

00:59:06.860 and if he doesn't win,

00:59:07.760 will you accept the election?

00:59:09.320 And I say,

00:59:10.400 oh, let me ask for a clarification

00:59:11.700 on your question.

00:59:14.500 Now, is there anybody

00:59:15.440 who's going to say,

00:59:16.120 no, I won't clarify my question?

00:59:18.780 No, no.

00:59:19.660 Everybody says,

00:59:20.400 of course I'll clarify my question.

00:59:22.760 Say, are you saying that

00:59:23.880 would I accept an election

00:59:25.580 that had no indication

00:59:26.680 of any fraudulent behavior?

00:59:31.260 See where I'm going?

00:59:33.100 Then they say,

00:59:33.900 well, you know,

00:59:34.920 no, I'm just sort of general,

00:59:36.460 you know,

00:59:36.820 forget about the assumptions.

00:59:38.080 I'm just asking you,

00:59:38.860 would you accept it?

00:59:39.680 And I go,

00:59:40.300 but I don't quite understand

00:59:41.480 the question.

00:59:42.740 Are you saying that

00:59:43.600 you think I should act the same

00:59:45.240 if there's no indication of fraud

00:59:47.880 than I would

00:59:49.260 if the fraud

00:59:50.120 is just glaringly obvious?

00:59:52.540 So let me return the question

00:59:54.240 to you,

00:59:55.220 Mr. Stepanophilus.

00:59:56.860 Would you accept

00:59:58.220 an election result

00:59:59.300 if Trump was polling

01:00:01.220 even with Harris,

01:00:02.280 but he won

01:00:03.460 by 20 points

01:00:04.460 on election day,

01:00:05.960 which you would

01:00:07.020 probably suggest

01:00:08.220 would not be

01:00:09.200 an accurate result?

01:00:10.540 Would you accept that?

01:00:11.880 Or would you say,

01:00:12.840 wait a minute,

01:00:13.640 there's something

01:00:14.180 that's so far out of line,

01:00:15.820 we should take a day

01:00:16.960 to look into this at least?

01:00:19.060 What would you do, George?

01:00:23.260 Now,

01:00:24.260 why can't any of our politicians

01:00:26.700 figure that out?

01:00:27.780 because the making you

01:00:30.840 think past the sale

01:00:31.960 is just so obvious.

01:00:33.840 The thinking past the sale

01:00:35.060 is that you're asked

01:00:38.860 to uncritically accept

01:00:40.240 that the outcome

01:00:41.440 of the election

01:00:42.060 looks credible

01:00:43.040 on the surface.

01:00:44.660 That was not the case

01:00:46.040 in 2020.

01:00:47.680 In 2020,

01:00:49.080 Republicans said,

01:00:50.220 on the surface,

01:00:51.100 this looks obviously rigged.

01:00:53.060 Were they right?

01:00:54.420 Well,

01:00:54.800 I don't know.

01:00:56.340 I assume all elections

01:00:57.740 have been rigged

01:00:58.280 in my lifetime,

01:00:59.540 but I don't know

01:01:00.520 the details

01:01:01.340 of any specific ones.

01:01:04.640 So don't allow them

01:01:06.060 to make you think

01:01:06.740 past the sale.

01:01:08.160 They have to back up

01:01:09.640 a level.

01:01:10.180 So make them back up

01:01:11.100 before you answer

01:01:11.720 the question.

01:01:12.280 Oh,

01:01:12.660 that's an excellent question,

01:01:14.600 George Stephanopoulos.

01:01:16.040 I think we should all

01:01:17.060 answer that question.

01:01:17.900 In fact,

01:01:18.980 I'm going to give you

01:01:19.940 my answer to the question,

01:01:21.000 and then I think

01:01:22.200 your audience

01:01:23.340 would like to hear

01:01:23.960 your answer.

01:01:25.700 If the election

01:01:26.540 looks totally credible,

01:01:28.180 would I accept it?

01:01:29.400 Yes.

01:01:30.140 Would you,

01:01:30.680 George?

01:01:31.100 If the election

01:01:31.860 looked totally credible

01:01:32.900 and you didn't see

01:01:34.060 any problem,

01:01:34.460 would you accept it?

01:01:35.260 Well,

01:01:35.440 of course I would.

01:01:36.100 Yes.

01:01:36.400 Okay.

01:01:36.660 We're on the same page.

01:01:37.940 Now,

01:01:38.340 if it looked like

01:01:39.200 it was obviously

01:01:40.360 or at least potentially

01:01:42.440 something's wrong with it

01:01:44.000 and you know

01:01:44.460 that a lot of other people

01:01:45.540 are seeing the same thing

01:01:46.700 and it could be

01:01:47.640 a big,

01:01:48.300 big problem

01:01:48.960 if you don't know

01:01:50.140 why it's so anti-whack,

01:01:51.780 let's say

01:01:52.260 it's completely anti-whack

01:01:53.960 with exit polling

01:01:54.880 and completely anti-whack

01:01:56.620 with what the polls

01:01:57.520 were before you went.

01:01:59.200 And under those conditions,

01:02:00.680 George,

01:02:01.140 would you accept the outcome

01:02:02.600 if it looked

01:02:03.240 obviously rigged?

01:02:05.940 Because I would say

01:02:07.000 we should take a pause

01:02:08.180 and maybe look into it.

01:02:09.220 What would you say,

01:02:09.900 George?

01:02:10.860 Because I think

01:02:11.580 your audience

01:02:11.980 would like to hear

01:02:12.540 your answer.

01:02:15.640 Do you think

01:02:17.040 there would be

01:02:17.340 a better response

01:02:18.220 than that?

01:02:18.960 Don't let them

01:02:22.020 sell past the close

01:02:23.420 or don't let them

01:02:24.180 make you think

01:02:24.780 past the sale.

01:02:26.460 They're trying

01:02:27.160 to make you think

01:02:28.040 that the election

01:02:28.780 will look credible

01:02:29.980 and that anybody

01:02:31.420 looking at it

01:02:32.080 would say,

01:02:32.440 oh yeah,

01:02:32.720 that looks like

01:02:33.460 our normal election

01:02:34.360 so we know who won.

01:02:37.080 Don't accept

01:02:37.840 that assumption

01:02:38.460 because that's not

01:02:39.980 what people saw

01:02:40.680 in 2020.

01:02:41.980 They saw things

01:02:42.920 that didn't look

01:02:43.500 like the bellwethers

01:02:44.540 were going

01:02:45.660 the way they normally go.

01:02:46.980 there were some

01:02:48.580 very unusual

01:02:49.520 outcomes.

01:02:50.840 Now there might

01:02:51.340 be reasons for it.

01:02:53.080 There could be

01:02:53.920 entirely

01:02:54.460 valid reasons

01:02:56.760 why one election

01:02:57.580 is radically

01:02:58.220 different than the polls.

01:02:59.900 Could be a reason

01:03:00.920 that is radically

01:03:01.600 different from

01:03:02.440 other elections

01:03:04.660 in the past.

01:03:06.260 But would you

01:03:07.740 uncritically accept it

01:03:09.420 if you didn't know

01:03:10.760 why it was different?

01:03:11.540 That's a good question

01:03:15.080 for the question

01:03:16.640 asker

01:03:17.100 as well as the answerer.

01:03:18.600 Claudia was leaving

01:03:19.440 for her pickleball tournament.

01:03:20.760 I've been visualizing

01:03:21.600 my match all week.

01:03:23.280 She was so focused

01:03:24.180 on visualizing

01:03:24.980 that she didn't see

01:03:25.860 the column behind her car

01:03:27.000 on her backhand side.

01:03:29.280 Good thing Claudia 0.95

01:03:30.280 is with Intact,

01:03:31.220 the insurer

01:03:31.780 with the largest network

01:03:32.900 of auto service centers

01:03:33.900 in the country.

01:03:35.000 Everything was taken care

01:03:36.020 of under one roof

01:03:36.920 and she was on her way

01:03:37.840 in a rental car

01:03:38.560 in no time.

01:03:39.460 I made it

01:03:40.080 to my tournament.

01:03:40.760 and lost

01:03:41.880 in the first round.

01:03:42.940 But you got there

01:03:43.940 on time.

01:03:44.760 Intact Insurance,

01:03:45.940 your auto service ace.

01:03:47.380 Certain conditions apply.

01:03:49.300 All right.

01:03:51.500 So Elon Musk's mom,

01:03:54.300 May, May Musk,

01:03:56.480 she was commenting

01:03:59.420 on X

01:04:00.120 about the fact

01:04:01.540 that there are places

01:04:02.800 where you're not

01:04:03.400 going to be asked

01:04:03.920 your ID to vote.

01:04:05.140 And she said

01:04:06.160 that Elon

01:04:10.460 should tell his followers

01:04:11.520 to use 10 fake names

01:04:14.280 to vote.

01:04:16.640 So she's basically saying,

01:04:18.860 well, you know,

01:04:19.940 if they can't tell

01:04:21.100 who you are

01:04:21.580 when you vote,

01:04:23.020 why don't you all

01:04:23.700 just use 10 fake names

01:04:25.040 and vote?

01:04:26.740 Now, here's the fun part.

01:04:28.280 She said this on X

01:04:29.560 and the X platform

01:04:31.500 fact-checked her

01:04:32.440 and said,

01:04:33.840 uh,

01:04:34.440 that's illegal.

01:04:35.660 That's illegal.

01:04:38.080 So just to clarify,

01:04:40.400 it's possible

01:04:41.720 for somebody

01:04:43.040 who's not

01:04:44.360 a real person

01:04:45.100 to vote

01:04:45.600 because you don't

01:04:46.820 have to give

01:04:47.320 your ID.

01:04:49.100 Uh,

01:04:49.460 it is not legal

01:04:50.660 to do it.

01:04:51.940 It's just possible.

01:04:53.340 And, you know,

01:04:54.180 you might get away

01:04:54.840 with it.

01:04:55.440 I suppose that's possible.

01:04:56.740 I don't know

01:04:57.260 the odds.

01:04:58.180 It's possible.

01:04:59.260 I wouldn't take

01:05:00.040 the chance.

01:05:01.080 So let me say

01:05:01.760 as clearly

01:05:02.360 as I can,

01:05:03.800 don't cheat

01:05:04.920 in the election.

01:05:07.380 Don't do it.

01:05:08.760 It would be

01:05:09.660 crazy for you

01:05:10.780 as an individual

01:05:11.520 to do that.

01:05:12.680 Even if you're positive,

01:05:14.040 the other side

01:05:14.560 is doing it.

01:05:15.860 Don't do it.

01:05:16.980 Yeah.

01:05:17.320 So I think,

01:05:18.000 I think May

01:05:18.800 might have been

01:05:19.680 speaking more,

01:05:20.600 uh,

01:05:22.120 with more hyperbole

01:05:23.360 than it looked.

01:05:24.320 So I'm not sure

01:05:25.380 that she meant that

01:05:26.200 like literally,

01:05:27.600 but it's funny

01:05:28.620 that she got fact-checked

01:05:29.700 on X.

01:05:30.620 All right.

01:05:32.520 I know you want me

01:05:33.220 to talk about

01:05:33.800 weather manipulation

01:05:34.860 and did the government

01:05:36.400 or the Democrats

01:05:37.360 or somebody else

01:05:38.400 cause the hurricane

01:05:39.780 to be worse

01:05:40.720 or to make it aimed?

01:05:42.340 There is lots of evidence

01:05:43.680 that the United States

01:05:44.780 has,

01:05:45.660 and other countries,

01:05:46.780 have tried

01:05:47.420 and maybe successfully

01:05:48.880 tried

01:05:50.200 to alter the weather.

01:05:52.880 Now,

01:05:53.380 the way that we know

01:05:54.080 it works

01:05:54.600 is we know

01:05:55.960 that they can seed clouds.

01:05:58.380 So we know

01:05:59.100 that they can make it rain

01:06:00.020 more than it was supposed

01:06:00.780 to rain.

01:06:01.980 And one of the problems

01:06:03.120 with the,

01:06:03.760 uh,

01:06:04.740 uh,

01:06:05.260 North Carolina

01:06:06.240 earthquake,

01:06:07.520 I'm sorry,

01:06:08.560 the,

01:06:08.800 uh,

01:06:09.000 the hurricane that,

01:06:09.800 uh,

01:06:10.740 hit North Carolina

01:06:11.740 and neighboring states

01:06:13.040 is that,

01:06:14.260 um,

01:06:14.640 it rained a lot

01:06:16.520 before the,

01:06:17.200 the wind hit.

01:06:18.300 So you had the,

01:06:19.200 you know,

01:06:19.880 the double whammy.

01:06:21.280 So,

01:06:21.920 could it be

01:06:23.160 that some terrible

01:06:25.520 evil entity

01:06:26.380 in our government

01:06:27.120 or anyplace else

01:06:28.040 saw that,

01:06:29.260 uh,

01:06:29.560 the hurricane

01:06:30.140 was coming

01:06:30.720 and they thought

01:06:31.960 to themselves,

01:06:32.660 well,

01:06:32.880 if we add a little

01:06:33.560 extra rain

01:06:34.360 and over these

01:06:35.640 Republican areas,

01:06:36.880 that hurricane

01:06:37.780 is going to be way worse

01:06:38.860 and they won't be able

01:06:39.980 to vote.

01:06:41.360 What do you think?

01:06:42.920 Do you think

01:06:43.480 that happened?

01:06:45.280 Let me take

01:06:46.040 the temperature

01:06:46.580 of the audience.

01:06:47.940 That would be

01:06:49.140 an outrageously

01:06:50.780 evil thing.

01:06:53.080 And then other people

01:06:54.040 are saying,

01:06:55.020 but Scott,

01:06:55.720 it's basically

01:06:56.560 what they did

01:06:57.140 in Lahaina

01:06:57.700 in Maui

01:06:58.640 and,

01:06:59.780 uh,

01:07:00.440 it's sort of

01:07:01.300 a version

01:07:01.720 of the same play.

01:07:02.800 You know,

01:07:02.980 there's weather

01:07:03.500 manipulation

01:07:04.120 or a laser

01:07:04.960 from space

01:07:05.660 or space lasers

01:07:07.320 changing the weather,

01:07:08.520 something like that.

01:07:11.020 Um,

01:07:11.640 I'm going to say

01:07:12.720 unlikely.

01:07:17.140 I'm going to go

01:07:17.840 with unlikely

01:07:18.600 that there was

01:07:19.540 weather manipulation.

01:07:21.880 Now,

01:07:22.480 it is,

01:07:23.040 apparently,

01:07:24.060 it was sort of

01:07:25.420 an unusual event

01:07:26.600 in the two hurricanes

01:07:27.800 being in the Gulf

01:07:28.720 at the same time

01:07:29.820 the new one's coming.

01:07:31.780 Um,

01:07:32.100 you know,

01:07:32.580 there's definitely

01:07:33.280 some unlikeliness

01:07:34.380 to it,

01:07:35.140 but hurricanes

01:07:37.060 break records

01:07:37.940 all the time,

01:07:38.720 don't they?

01:07:39.080 like,

01:07:40.320 it's not that

01:07:40.940 unusual

01:07:41.320 that there's

01:07:41.880 a new pattern

01:07:43.080 or a new thing

01:07:43.920 that happened

01:07:44.400 any given year.

01:07:46.400 So,

01:07:46.880 and then you

01:07:48.320 can also imagine

01:07:49.100 that maybe

01:07:49.640 the,

01:07:50.220 the,

01:07:51.500 uh,

01:07:52.160 the climate

01:07:53.560 change alarmists

01:07:54.820 would like to have

01:07:55.960 a little extra

01:07:56.600 emergency

01:07:57.140 to,

01:07:58.340 you know,

01:07:58.880 push their,

01:07:59.540 uh,

01:07:59.840 climate change

01:08:00.520 crisis alarm

01:08:01.680 message,

01:08:02.240 but I can't,

01:08:04.080 I can't see

01:08:04.820 anybody doing this.

01:08:05.780 Um,

01:08:07.140 it would be hard

01:08:07.900 for me to imagine

01:08:08.920 that you could get

01:08:10.800 enough people

01:08:11.620 because it's not

01:08:12.180 like a one,

01:08:12.860 a one person job

01:08:14.040 if you're going

01:08:14.460 to change the weather.

01:08:15.820 Changing the weather

01:08:16.720 seems to me like

01:08:17.880 kind of a big job.

01:08:19.960 You,

01:08:20.520 you can have

01:08:21.220 at least several

01:08:22.660 people who know

01:08:23.440 what's going on.

01:08:24.600 You know,

01:08:25.160 at least several.

01:08:26.660 So,

01:08:27.220 could you get

01:08:28.320 several people

01:08:29.220 to do

01:08:29.980 basically genocide

01:08:32.140 in the United States?

01:08:33.900 I don't know.

01:08:36.540 That'd be a stretch.

01:08:38.200 You,

01:08:38.360 you know,

01:08:38.860 the odds of a whistleblower

01:08:40.200 seem pretty high

01:08:41.000 because anybody

01:08:42.580 who was

01:08:43.200 messing with a hurricane

01:08:44.700 that was going

01:08:45.500 to hit the mainland

01:08:46.160 would know

01:08:47.140 they're,

01:08:47.460 they're messing

01:08:47.920 with mass murder.

01:08:49.760 Like they,

01:08:50.640 everybody would know

01:08:51.560 if you intensify

01:08:52.640 a hurricane,

01:08:53.220 you're killing people. 0.94

01:08:54.380 So how many,

01:08:55.520 could you get

01:08:56.120 like seven Americans?

01:08:59.160 I'm just going

01:08:59.980 to pick a number,

01:09:00.800 some small number

01:09:01.720 of,

01:09:02.060 you know,

01:09:02.620 plotters who,

01:09:03.900 who are all on board

01:09:05.060 with killing

01:09:05.740 hundreds or maybe

01:09:07.200 thousands of America,

01:09:09.080 Americans with a trillion

01:09:10.340 dollars of damage

01:09:11.320 to affect the election?

01:09:15.800 There probably are people

01:09:17.220 that are that evil

01:09:18.120 in the world,

01:09:18.720 but it'd be hard

01:09:19.180 to get five or seven

01:09:20.260 of them without

01:09:20.820 at least one of them

01:09:21.620 saying,

01:09:22.040 I got to talk

01:09:22.860 to somebody about this.

01:09:24.640 It's possible though.

01:09:26.400 So I'm going to say

01:09:27.360 that the odds

01:09:28.000 of weather manipulation

01:09:29.220 being part of this story,

01:09:31.280 I'm going to give it

01:09:32.280 five percent,

01:09:35.320 five percent.

01:09:37.460 Now remember,

01:09:39.500 five percent

01:09:40.180 doesn't mean

01:09:40.740 it's impossible.

01:09:42.240 So if it turns out

01:09:43.300 tomorrow we find out

01:09:44.400 it was happening,

01:09:45.340 I'm not going to say

01:09:46.460 I was wrong

01:09:47.080 because I'm saying

01:09:48.680 it's five percent

01:09:49.280 impossible.

01:09:51.100 I'm just saying

01:09:51.960 if the only things

01:09:52.980 you know

01:09:53.460 are the things

01:09:54.240 that we know

01:09:54.700 so far,

01:09:56.340 I wouldn't expect

01:09:57.920 it to be true,

01:09:58.600 but you honestly

01:10:00.960 can't rule it out.

01:10:02.740 We live in a world

01:10:03.760 where evil things

01:10:04.740 do actually happen

01:10:05.880 and as scale.

01:10:08.380 Pretty evil things

01:10:09.380 at a pretty big scale.

01:10:11.060 So five percent

01:10:12.420 seems like a big number

01:10:13.420 to me.

01:10:16.360 Anyway,

01:10:17.880 did you watch

01:10:19.200 the All In Pod

01:10:20.100 and Mark Cuban?

01:10:22.240 So David Sachs

01:10:23.740 got into him

01:10:24.460 a little bit.

01:10:25.340 There was some

01:10:25.700 controversy about

01:10:26.840 whether it should have

01:10:28.260 been moderated

01:10:28.900 differently or not.

01:10:30.560 I watched a clip

01:10:31.820 and I thought

01:10:32.320 it was fine.

01:10:33.880 I liked watching

01:10:35.000 them go at it

01:10:35.820 enthusiastically.

01:10:37.180 But I would remind you

01:10:38.380 people keep asking me

01:10:40.820 what's up with

01:10:41.480 Mark Cuban?

01:10:42.820 Like,

01:10:43.220 what's going on there?

01:10:44.860 Is he being blackmailed

01:10:47.200 or does he have

01:10:47.660 some kind of

01:10:48.880 profit motive?

01:10:50.340 Is he really dumb

01:10:51.640 and that's all

01:10:52.360 we're saying?

01:10:53.060 Is he brainwashed?

01:10:54.100 Does he have TDS?

01:10:55.120 Is it personal?

01:10:55.740 And I would say

01:10:57.480 it doesn't matter.

01:11:00.720 If you spend

01:11:01.600 any time

01:11:02.220 trying to figure out

01:11:03.020 his personal thoughts,

01:11:05.120 it's probably

01:11:06.300 a waste of time.

01:11:07.580 Here's the thing

01:11:08.340 we can tell.

01:11:09.600 It doesn't look serious.

01:11:12.340 Meaning that

01:11:13.180 it looks like

01:11:13.840 he's enjoying it

01:11:14.640 as a competition,

01:11:16.080 a sport.

01:11:17.300 Yeah,

01:11:17.520 he seems to be

01:11:18.140 playing it like a sport.

01:11:19.900 And I don't think

01:11:21.020 he's super well informed

01:11:23.060 on the topics

01:11:23.820 he's talking about.

01:11:24.740 You can see that

01:11:25.560 with David Sachs

01:11:26.660 filling in some,

01:11:28.080 you know,

01:11:28.460 things that he was

01:11:29.300 apparently unaware of.

01:11:31.020 And I don't think

01:11:32.080 that that even matters.

01:11:34.280 It would matter

01:11:35.360 if he were trying

01:11:36.200 to be a serious,

01:11:37.480 you know,

01:11:38.780 voice in the competition,

01:11:40.680 the political competition.

01:11:42.480 But I think

01:11:43.160 it's just team play

01:11:44.220 and it's competition.

01:11:46.440 And if he says

01:11:48.320 some anti-Trump things

01:11:49.580 in public

01:11:50.320 and people hear him

01:11:51.160 and believe him,

01:11:52.400 he wins a little bit.

01:11:54.220 But here's what

01:11:55.820 I don't think.

01:11:57.340 I don't think

01:11:58.440 that the things

01:11:59.320 he's saying

01:12:00.000 and doing

01:12:00.520 are indicating

01:12:02.300 what his private

01:12:03.140 thoughts are.

01:12:05.340 That's what I think.

01:12:06.880 Because

01:12:07.440 the things he says

01:12:09.320 and argues

01:12:10.020 when it comes to Trump

01:12:11.140 are so qualitatively

01:12:13.520 different

01:12:13.940 than what he talks

01:12:15.960 about on any other topic,

01:12:18.060 on any other topic,

01:12:19.480 I stop what I'm doing

01:12:20.580 to listen to him.

01:12:22.200 Because he's really smart

01:12:23.840 on a wide range

01:12:26.040 of things.

01:12:27.220 So the odds

01:12:28.180 of him being

01:12:28.740 really smart

01:12:29.440 on a wide range

01:12:30.460 of important things

01:12:31.540 in the world

01:12:32.040 and having demonstrated

01:12:33.240 talent

01:12:34.380 in a variety

01:12:35.520 of fields,

01:12:36.900 it would be

01:12:37.420 really weird

01:12:38.200 if he had just

01:12:39.060 this weird pocket

01:12:40.020 of stupidity

01:12:40.820 that only applied

01:12:41.580 to this one category.

01:12:43.860 So I can't believe

01:12:45.100 that it's dumb.

01:12:47.240 He might be

01:12:48.140 a little less

01:12:48.840 researched

01:12:49.500 than some of you,

01:12:50.540 but also because

01:12:51.380 he's not playing it

01:12:52.260 like it's a serious thing.

01:12:53.860 I think he's just

01:12:54.620 having fun.

01:12:56.400 And so

01:12:56.880 if you make

01:12:57.720 too much of it,

01:12:59.200 I think you're

01:13:00.540 just being drawn

01:13:01.260 into the game.

01:13:03.200 So

01:13:03.680 it's fun

01:13:04.580 to note

01:13:05.720 what he did

01:13:06.320 and note

01:13:07.180 who he's talked to

01:13:08.020 and maybe

01:13:08.400 how they responded.

01:13:09.880 But I wouldn't

01:13:10.580 take his argument

01:13:12.200 seriously

01:13:12.900 because I just

01:13:14.440 don't know

01:13:15.100 that that's

01:13:15.500 the game he's in.

01:13:16.740 I don't think

01:13:17.580 he's in the

01:13:18.260 game of

01:13:19.520 I want the best

01:13:21.140 outcome for the country

01:13:22.220 so let's,

01:13:24.220 you know,

01:13:24.480 let's make sure

01:13:25.140 we've transparently

01:13:26.460 looked at all the issues.

01:13:29.400 But he's not alone there.

01:13:31.360 It's not like

01:13:31.880 the rest of us

01:13:32.560 are doing that.

01:13:34.020 It's not like

01:13:34.780 it's common

01:13:35.320 for people to say,

01:13:36.220 you know,

01:13:36.380 really we do have

01:13:37.120 to look at both sides.

01:13:38.600 Nobody's doing that.

01:13:40.160 Nobody.

01:13:41.220 I mean,

01:13:41.860 my show is mostly

01:13:43.500 about trying

01:13:44.520 not to be

01:13:45.400 just in the pocket

01:13:46.280 for one side

01:13:46.980 or the other.

01:13:47.900 And even I am

01:13:48.860 at this time of season.

01:13:50.460 I mean,

01:13:51.140 I can't pretend

01:13:52.580 I'm not 100%

01:13:53.900 in the bag

01:13:54.420 for Trump.

01:13:55.620 I'm 100%

01:13:56.640 in the bag

01:13:57.020 for Trump.

01:13:58.260 Right?

01:13:58.680 I mean,

01:13:59.680 so,

01:14:00.780 you know,

01:14:01.160 when I argue things

01:14:02.400 am I being biased?

01:14:03.800 I assume so.

01:14:05.520 I'm trying not to be.

01:14:07.080 I mean,

01:14:07.260 I do make an effort

01:14:08.020 not to be.

01:14:08.900 But I'm also aware

01:14:10.120 that it's not really

01:14:11.800 completely possible.

01:14:13.340 Yeah,

01:14:13.560 I'm biased as hell.

01:14:16.760 Well,

01:14:17.260 speaking of bias,

01:14:18.680 there was a

01:14:20.200 alleged video

01:14:21.340 of some people

01:14:22.240 from FEMA

01:14:22.920 on some kind

01:14:23.880 of a Zoom call.

01:14:25.420 And the funny part

01:14:27.000 is I could not tell

01:14:28.260 if it was parody

01:14:29.580 or like a deepfake

01:14:31.640 parody

01:14:32.220 or real

01:14:32.920 because the real world

01:14:35.000 has become so absurd

01:14:36.160 that you can't

01:14:37.580 exaggerate enough

01:14:38.600 that your parody

01:14:39.440 looks like it's fake.

01:14:41.220 So what they were

01:14:42.120 talking about is,

01:14:43.060 you know,

01:14:44.100 that they should focus

01:14:45.000 their attentions

01:14:46.860 on the LGBTQIA people

01:14:49.120 because they struggled

01:14:50.500 the most

01:14:51.380 before the storm.

01:14:53.760 And somebody said,

01:14:55.280 FEMA relief

01:14:55.820 is no longer

01:14:56.420 about getting

01:14:56.860 the greatest good

01:14:57.680 for the greatest

01:14:58.220 amount of people.

01:14:59.080 It's about

01:14:59.760 disaster equity.

01:15:00.860 Now,

01:15:03.500 if you told me

01:15:04.820 that the people

01:15:05.380 in charge

01:15:05.820 of disaster recovery

01:15:07.220 had rejected

01:15:08.560 the notion

01:15:09.220 of the greatest

01:15:10.380 good for the

01:15:11.020 greatest amount

01:15:11.620 of people

01:15:12.040 and instead

01:15:13.240 were looking

01:15:13.800 at their,

01:15:15.140 what kind

01:15:16.180 of genitalia

01:15:16.920 they put

01:15:17.380 in their mouth,

01:15:18.720 say,

01:15:18.980 all right,

01:15:19.360 this group

01:15:20.560 of people,

01:15:21.700 what kind

01:15:22.400 of genitalia

01:15:23.060 do you like

01:15:23.440 to put

01:15:23.660 in your mouth?

01:15:24.200 uh-huh,

01:15:25.420 uh-huh,

01:15:25.800 okay,

01:15:26.300 so we're

01:15:26.880 going to treat

01:15:27.260 you a little

01:15:27.700 bit better

01:15:28.180 and you people,

01:15:30.220 what do you,

01:15:30.820 oh my god,

01:15:31.480 what do you put

01:15:31.920 in your mouths? 1.00

01:15:32.660 Oh no,

01:15:33.280 no,

01:15:33.560 no,

01:15:34.280 no,

01:15:34.660 you're,

01:15:35.180 you heteros,

01:15:36.640 you heteros

01:15:37.300 are boring me

01:15:38.020 first of all

01:15:38.640 and you've had

01:15:39.840 too good a run.

01:15:40.940 It's time

01:15:41.560 that we

01:15:42.080 balance things out.

01:15:45.360 If you told me

01:15:46.300 that that was

01:15:46.800 really happening

01:15:47.540 in the real world,

01:15:49.160 I would have said

01:15:50.340 that didn't happen

01:15:51.180 in the real world.

01:15:52.140 You wouldn't say

01:15:52.980 that out loud

01:15:53.680 even if you

01:15:54.260 thought it.

01:15:56.380 So I don't know.

01:15:58.260 So I actually,

01:16:00.400 even now,

01:16:01.300 I'm not sure

01:16:02.580 it was real.

01:16:04.340 Now,

01:16:04.960 it's not so hard

01:16:05.680 to tell an AI fake

01:16:07.280 unless the original

01:16:09.660 image is really bad.

01:16:12.400 So there was one fake,

01:16:13.780 I'm sure it was fake,

01:16:15.260 where the image

01:16:16.200 of the person's face

01:16:17.520 was smudged out

01:16:20.020 allegedly for protection

01:16:21.860 or privacy,

01:16:22.560 but really,

01:16:23.740 it also made it

01:16:24.420 harder to know

01:16:25.020 if it was an AI fake

01:16:26.240 because you couldn't

01:16:27.640 see the lips moving

01:16:28.500 in the eyes and stuff.

01:16:30.280 But on this one,

01:16:31.080 it was a bad Zoom call.

01:16:33.280 So there was like

01:16:34.120 a natural delay

01:16:35.320 between the lips

01:16:36.180 and the audio anyway,

01:16:38.500 and it was a hard,

01:16:39.640 bad picture.

01:16:41.060 So with the bad video,

01:16:43.600 you actually couldn't tell

01:16:45.100 if it was fake.

01:16:46.800 So I don't know.

01:16:48.080 I have no idea

01:16:48.720 if that was real or not.

01:16:49.760 As of today,

01:16:50.420 I have no idea.

01:16:51.020 But the fact

01:16:52.240 that you can't tell

01:16:53.140 a funny parody

01:16:55.060 from reality

01:16:55.900 is funny by itself.

01:16:59.160 I mean,

01:16:59.400 that's how bad things are.

01:17:02.600 Anyway,

01:17:03.620 so apparently

01:17:04.320 in North Carolina,

01:17:05.580 there were

01:17:06.020 40,000 absentee ballots

01:17:09.280 were mailed out

01:17:10.500 to people,

01:17:11.140 but less than 1,000,

01:17:12.380 fewer than 1,000

01:17:13.440 were returned.

01:17:14.060 So if that's the case,

01:17:18.360 then the difference

01:17:19.940 in voting patterns

01:17:20.900 for North Carolina

01:17:21.860 could be completely reversed

01:17:24.480 by the fact that

01:17:27.120 just most people

01:17:28.540 won't be able to vote.

01:17:29.660 So yeah,

01:17:30.000 the state's completely

01:17:31.100 in jeopardy now,

01:17:32.360 election-wise.

01:17:35.000 Andrea Mitchell

01:17:35.940 was talking about politics.

01:17:39.280 I think it was today

01:17:40.040 or yesterday.

01:17:40.520 And in the middle

01:17:42.580 of a sentence,

01:17:43.140 she just dropped 0.54

01:17:44.120 in the thought

01:17:45.240 that Trump supporters

01:17:47.340 might be undercounted

01:17:48.800 in polls.

01:17:51.220 So that's Andrea Mitchell.

01:17:53.200 She thinks

01:17:53.620 Trump supporters

01:17:54.880 might be undercounted.

01:17:56.240 Now,

01:17:56.600 I need a fact check.

01:17:58.240 We know they were

01:17:59.320 undercounted in 2016.

01:18:00.860 I heard somebody say

01:18:04.060 that Trump supporters

01:18:05.200 were undercounted

01:18:06.440 in 2020.

01:18:07.920 So even though

01:18:08.500 there were more

01:18:09.660 Biden votes,

01:18:10.520 allegedly,

01:18:12.040 was it also true

01:18:14.180 that Trump did better

01:18:15.140 than anybody expected

01:18:16.460 Trump to do?

01:18:18.240 And that his performance

01:18:19.900 was under,

01:18:23.360 he did better

01:18:25.400 than they expected?

01:18:26.340 Is that true?

01:18:26.840 Because if it happened twice,

01:18:30.220 there's not a chance

01:18:31.420 in the world

01:18:31.880 it's not happening

01:18:33.140 a third time.

01:18:35.020 Because whatever people

01:18:36.360 thought in 2016

01:18:37.880 and 2020,

01:18:39.360 they still think,

01:18:41.280 meaning that if a pollster

01:18:42.560 calls them,

01:18:44.000 their incentive

01:18:45.040 to say,

01:18:45.920 I'm not a Trump supporter,

01:18:48.440 might be for a different

01:18:49.940 reason now.

01:18:51.400 Because in 2016,

01:18:52.960 maybe you just

01:18:53.880 didn't want to admit it

01:18:54.700 because you'd sound

01:18:55.220 like a racist.

01:18:55.940 In 2020,

01:18:57.540 you might have been

01:18:58.680 playing a little bit

01:18:59.640 of that game,

01:19:00.540 but also the game

01:19:01.820 of you just wanted

01:19:02.540 to make sure

01:19:03.740 the pollsters

01:19:04.280 were surprised.

01:19:06.000 But this time,

01:19:07.380 in 2024,

01:19:08.680 I don't think

01:19:10.000 there's a single

01:19:10.700 Republican who isn't

01:19:11.760 at least aware

01:19:12.660 that other Republicans

01:19:14.480 are lying to pollsters.

01:19:17.520 Which means

01:19:18.340 it's in play.

01:19:19.660 As a strategy,

01:19:21.300 everybody has it

01:19:22.080 right there.

01:19:22.580 They can just

01:19:23.040 say the words

01:19:23.860 and they can be

01:19:25.100 part of the prank.

01:19:26.580 So,

01:19:27.720 yes,

01:19:28.700 I believe that

01:19:29.720 Trump voters

01:19:30.320 are being underestimated

01:19:31.480 again.

01:19:32.740 I think they are.

01:19:34.700 So we'll see.

01:19:38.020 Israel is always 1.00

01:19:39.360 asked when it's

01:19:40.100 going to stop

01:19:40.600 fighting and cease fire.

01:19:42.800 And Netanyahu

01:19:43.320 said they're going

01:19:44.280 to keep going

01:19:45.440 militarily until

01:19:46.440 they've achieved

01:19:48.000 all of their goals.

01:19:50.180 Now,

01:19:50.880 what would that

01:19:51.700 look like to you?

01:19:52.480 if Israel

01:19:53.760 is going to keep

01:19:54.540 fighting until

01:19:55.220 they achieve

01:19:55.860 all of their goals,

01:19:57.260 one assumes

01:19:57.920 that their primary

01:19:58.840 goal is to make

01:19:59.700 sure there's not

01:20:00.320 anybody shooting

01:20:01.180 missiles at them.

01:20:02.580 How far

01:20:03.440 would they have

01:20:03.940 to go to make

01:20:04.900 sure that their

01:20:05.520 neighbors are not 1.00

01:20:06.200 shooting missiles at

01:20:07.100 them?

01:20:08.460 Really far.

01:20:10.140 Like farther

01:20:11.080 than anything

01:20:11.600 we've ever seen

01:20:12.400 before by a lot.

01:20:14.280 So if you want

01:20:17.300 to know what

01:20:17.580 the future looks

01:20:18.360 like,

01:20:19.220 it doesn't look

01:20:19.940 like there's

01:20:20.340 anybody who's

01:20:20.920 going to restrain

01:20:22.900 Israel from doing 0.99

01:20:24.000 what it thinks

01:20:24.720 it needs to do.

01:20:26.560 And if you think

01:20:27.660 that Lebanon

01:20:28.200 is just going to

01:20:29.160 work on a deal

01:20:29.900 of like,

01:20:30.960 no, no,

01:20:31.920 we're not going

01:20:32.920 to shoot any

01:20:33.380 more missiles,

01:20:34.780 that's not going

01:20:35.540 to work.

01:20:37.040 As long as

01:20:37.900 there's even

01:20:38.320 one missile

01:20:39.040 left in Lebanon,

01:20:40.860 Israel can say 0.75

01:20:41.580 we're not done.

01:20:42.160 So I think

01:20:43.700 that Israel

01:20:44.240 will just

01:20:46.040 keep going.

01:20:47.720 And I think

01:20:48.540 they're going

01:20:48.840 to take it

01:20:49.420 on offense.

01:20:52.320 I don't know

01:20:53.340 if they're going

01:20:53.780 to do something

01:20:54.320 today because

01:20:55.480 it's October

01:20:56.440 7th.

01:20:57.720 I'd be worried

01:20:58.720 about a terrorist

01:20:59.520 operating today,

01:21:00.480 but I can't

01:21:01.940 tell if Israel 0.96

01:21:02.640 is going to

01:21:03.560 look for

01:21:04.900 payback on

01:21:05.860 October 7th

01:21:06.760 because that

01:21:07.180 would be a

01:21:07.680 meaningful date

01:21:08.380 or are they

01:21:09.260 just going to

01:21:09.940 focus on the

01:21:10.840 victims

01:21:11.260 which would

01:21:12.780 be,

01:21:13.980 that would

01:21:14.340 make sense,

01:21:15.500 and maybe

01:21:16.800 take the day

01:21:17.400 off from

01:21:17.820 fighting because

01:21:19.500 you know,

01:21:19.720 just one day

01:21:20.300 to concentrate

01:21:21.140 on what they

01:21:21.860 lost.

01:21:22.580 Maybe.

01:21:23.580 But it's a

01:21:24.420 dicey day,

01:21:25.300 so anything

01:21:25.600 can happen

01:21:26.120 today,

01:21:26.600 so be

01:21:27.180 alert,

01:21:27.940 be alert.

01:21:30.900 And I guess

01:21:31.380 Colombia

01:21:32.060 saw their

01:21:35.420 donations

01:21:35.840 dropped 29%

01:21:37.120 this year,

01:21:37.740 according to

01:21:38.160 New York

01:21:38.460 Post.

01:21:39.320 So,

01:21:39.720 you know,

01:21:40.080 Colombia had

01:21:40.580 all those

01:21:41.060 anti-Israel

01:21:41.920 protests,

01:21:43.340 and apparently

01:21:44.200 that cost

01:21:44.760 you 29%

01:21:45.800 of your

01:21:46.080 donations.

01:21:47.740 I would

01:21:48.460 expect this

01:21:49.840 would be a

01:21:50.400 common thing

01:21:51.480 to happen

01:21:52.520 around the

01:21:53.620 other colleges

01:21:54.180 as well.

01:21:55.040 All right,

01:21:55.320 that's all I

01:21:55.660 got for you

01:21:56.080 today.

01:21:56.920 Remember,

01:21:57.600 my book,

01:21:58.220 Win Bigley,

01:21:58.940 second edition,

01:21:59.760 is now out

01:22:00.380 if you want

01:22:00.760 to learn

01:22:01.000 persuasion

01:22:01.780 the Trump

01:22:02.440 way.

01:22:03.160 This was

01:22:03.660 written around

01:22:04.160 the 2016,

01:22:05.160 after the

01:22:05.560 2016 election,

01:22:06.760 about how he

01:22:07.840 did it.

01:22:08.160 And it

01:22:09.240 will be

01:22:09.640 twice as

01:22:10.360 relevant now

01:22:11.180 as you

01:22:11.780 see that

01:22:12.260 the predictions

01:22:13.040 in the book

01:22:13.660 about his

01:22:14.160 persuasion

01:22:14.800 skills have

01:22:16.240 certainly been

01:22:17.020 solidified.

01:22:18.260 And also,

01:22:18.760 the Dilbert

01:22:19.260 Page of Day

01:22:19.860 calendar,

01:22:20.840 if you didn't

01:22:22.240 know,

01:22:22.780 is now available

01:22:23.560 but can only

01:22:24.340 be purchased

01:22:25.000 at the

01:22:26.000 Dilbert.com

01:22:26.960 website link.

01:22:28.660 Go there

01:22:29.100 for the link.

01:22:29.840 It'll take you

01:22:30.320 to the page.

01:22:31.380 But you can't

01:22:31.860 buy it on Amazon,

01:22:32.860 and you can't

01:22:33.280 buy it in the

01:22:33.760 bookstore or

01:22:34.480 anywhere else.

01:22:35.440 All right,

01:22:38.540 that's all for

01:22:39.060 now.

01:22:40.020 I'm going to

01:22:40.360 go talk to

01:22:41.020 the locals

01:22:41.640 people privately,

01:22:43.000 so I'm going

01:22:43.340 to turn off

01:22:43.880 this feed.

01:22:44.520 We're going to

01:22:45.180 go talk to
