Transcript

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:05.180 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure there's never been a better time in your life.
00:00:10.720 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:00:19.020 all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker, gel, sistein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:25.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:27.280 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:33.240 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go.
00:00:40.080 Oh, pure delight.
00:00:47.420 Well, according to a NASA filmmaker, and by the way, if you want to know things about the space and science and the universe,
00:00:57.280 you should talk to a NASA filmmaker.
00:01:01.760 So make your own judgment about the credibility of this story.
00:01:06.540 But somebody named Holland says that some astronomers have identified clear evidence of transmissions from another world,
00:01:17.000 and they can announce the discovery any month now.
00:01:22.380 So any moment, we're going to find out that aliens are real and they are in space and sending us messages.
00:01:32.180 Or not. Or not.
00:01:34.100 By the way, I've got a new hypothesis about the moon.
00:01:39.920 Did you know that some people speculate the moon is hollow and might actually be an alien spaceship?
00:01:47.560 Because it turns out there's a whole thing, a whole bunch of stuff about our moon that is not typical for a moon.
00:01:54.920 It's too big.
00:01:56.260 It's it's orbit is, you know, too close to a circle.
00:02:00.380 Not exact, but it's too close.
00:02:02.040 It's the the the the the spots where the
00:02:08.060 the meteors have hit it are all the same depth
00:02:11.460 as if it has some kind of hard shell underneath the dust.
00:02:15.800 You know, a whole bunch of weird things about it that don't make sense.
00:02:18.320 Oh, the the density of the moon is way out of whack with its size,
00:02:23.320 which also suggests it might be hollow.
00:02:26.060 Now, I'm not going to say I believe all of that.
00:02:29.080 However, I did find out that the did you know this,
00:02:32.500 that the biggest crater on the moon is on the dark side.
00:02:38.920 Did you know that there's this enormous crater on the dark side?
00:02:45.920 All right.
00:02:46.680 Here's my hypothesis.
00:02:49.920 That the aliens that we see today are coming from the moon inside the moon base.
00:02:56.760 So they've been there for 13000 years.
00:02:59.900 And not only that, but the reason the dark side of the moon has a gigantic crater.
00:03:06.340 And here I'm adding this for recreational speculation is because the people who are in that spaceship
00:03:14.740 were instrumental in guiding the evolution and the, let's say, the advancement of humankind
00:03:20.720 from our earliest days, say, 13000 years ago in the younger driest period.
00:03:26.220 And at one point, they saved the planet from a meteor strike by moving the moon,
00:03:37.440 which was really their spaceship, which was impenetrable in in the in the path of the meteor.
00:03:44.680 So they basically took a meteor out to stop the Earth from being destroyed
00:03:49.740 because it was their it was the thing they were nurturing.
00:03:55.720 How about that?
00:03:57.360 I'm not saying there's any evidence for that.
00:04:00.180 I'm just saying, wouldn't it be cool if the moon were hollow, full of aliens?
00:04:04.900 They've been here for tens of thousands of years guiding human evolution.
00:04:09.080 That's the reason all of our myths have these aliens who are in space.
00:04:15.160 And they saved the world at least once with their advanced technology.
00:04:20.280 And they're sending out UAPs that look like orbs.
00:04:25.120 And the reason that we can't figure out where they're coming from
00:04:27.900 is they're coming from the moon, inside the moon.
00:04:32.780 Yeah, maybe.
00:04:34.180 Well, in other news, the following companies appear to be
00:04:40.300 buying or creating their own nuclear energy.
00:04:45.360 So companies have now announced they're going to go nuclear,
00:04:49.040 meaning that for their own products, they need nuclear power,
00:04:53.160 is I believe Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Oracle.
00:04:57.860 Now, I could use a fact check on that,
00:04:59.860 but I think all four companies have now announced
00:05:02.460 that they're getting in the nuclear power business
00:05:05.280 directly or indirectly in the sense that they need it
00:05:08.160 to be paired with their products
00:05:09.560 because AI needs a whole bunch of electricity.
00:05:13.060 Crazy, crazy amount.
00:05:15.360 And I'd like to tell you that
00:05:17.100 the movement of these major companies toward nuclear energy
00:05:23.000 is the beginning of the golden age.
00:05:27.020 Now, you can see the tumblers falling into place all over.
00:05:30.300 Nuclear power becoming not just something to talk about
00:05:36.260 and something to argue about,
00:05:37.940 not something that divides the country,
00:05:40.280 but in fact, a huge uniting factor,
00:05:44.180 which is the biggest factor of the future in our success.
00:05:47.940 I would argue that the countries that do the best over time
00:05:50.900 are the ones with the best energy situation.
00:05:54.680 Now, you also need some luck and some geography
00:05:57.200 and population and stuff to be on your side.
00:06:00.300 But generally speaking, in the modern world,
00:06:03.480 whoever has the most energy
00:06:05.260 is going to be the winner of everything,
00:06:07.760 economics, wars, everything else.
00:06:10.640 So having our best and brightest going hard
00:06:13.620 into that nuclear domain
00:06:16.080 really does signal the beginning of something
00:06:19.360 so amazing
00:06:21.040 that I don't even know
00:06:23.240 that we can completely grasp where we're heading.
00:06:26.600 Because if you add AI and robots
00:06:28.920 to almost unlimited electricity,
00:06:31.800 what's left?
00:06:35.980 You're pretty close to solving all of your problems
00:06:38.200 at that point.
00:06:39.500 And we seem to have a clear path
00:06:42.560 to getting there.
00:06:43.880 The biggest problem would be
00:06:45.980 getting in our own way.
00:06:48.180 Government regulations.
00:06:50.100 Do you know what would solve that?
00:06:52.840 Trump and Elon Musk.
00:06:56.300 The only things that could keep us
00:06:58.260 from dominating the world
00:06:59.480 and nuclear energy
00:07:00.420 and therefore, you know,
00:07:02.180 keeping our place as America
00:07:03.540 as a standard for what a country should be
00:07:06.420 is probably a lot of regulations.
00:07:10.660 And we are just a few weeks away,
00:07:12.340 we hope,
00:07:14.500 from putting in place
00:07:15.480 everything we need
00:07:16.740 to get to the golden age.
00:07:21.160 And if you don't think
00:07:22.600 it's the golden age,
00:07:23.460 then you don't know
00:07:24.220 that the Dilber 2025 calendar
00:07:26.180 that you see over my shoulder there
00:07:27.700 is already available for pre-sale.
00:07:30.480 Yeah.
00:07:31.000 Last year, no.
00:07:32.360 No Dilber calendar.
00:07:33.520 But this year, it's back.
00:07:35.440 But you can only get it
00:07:36.720 at the link at Dilber.com.
00:07:39.480 You cannot get it on Amazon
00:07:41.680 or any bookstore
00:07:43.200 or any other site.
00:07:44.960 At Amazon.com,
00:07:46.360 you'll see the link to the sales.
00:07:49.260 It's the only place you can get it.
00:07:51.100 Also, my update of my book,
00:07:53.880 Win Bigly, is out now.
00:07:55.420 That's on Amazon,
00:07:56.340 so you can get that the normal way.
00:07:58.360 And it's an update on persuasion.
00:08:00.880 If you really want to understand
00:08:02.120 how Trump can bring the golden age,
00:08:04.940 which he is,
00:08:06.300 you want to read Win Bigly,
00:08:08.380 second edition.
00:08:09.180 All right.
00:08:11.480 Apparently, the FBI
00:08:12.960 just updated its crime statistics.
00:08:16.640 It has reversed from
00:08:18.460 crime was down to crime is up
00:08:20.640 three weeks before the election.
00:08:24.140 Do you hear that?
00:08:25.960 That's a tumbler
00:08:27.560 falling into place.
00:08:29.340 Now, the tumbler is, you know,
00:08:32.320 sort of a lock
00:08:33.160 or a combination safe.
00:08:35.660 The tumblers are the internal connections
00:08:37.900 or the internal little gears
00:08:41.120 and mechanisms.
00:08:43.040 So that just fell into place.
00:08:46.480 So it looks like we've got
00:08:48.000 some nuclear power in our future,
00:08:49.980 maybe some aliens discovered in space.
00:08:52.480 The Dilbert calendar for 2025
00:08:54.860 and crime statistics
00:08:56.300 have been corrected,
00:08:58.580 which should have the effect
00:09:00.280 of giving us a President Trump
00:09:02.080 and all the solutions we need.
00:09:05.720 Meanwhile, Elon Musk announced
00:09:07.860 that tomorrow night through Monday,
00:09:09.680 he's going to be giving
00:09:10.420 a series of talks
00:09:11.700 throughout Pennsylvania.
00:09:13.900 They're free.
00:09:14.560 You just have to sign something
00:09:15.900 that says you like
00:09:17.240 the First and Second Amendment,
00:09:18.940 I guess.
00:09:19.220 Now, Elon Musk
00:09:23.000 is taking time off
00:09:26.380 from running the most important companies
00:09:28.460 in America,
00:09:29.320 well, in some sense.
00:09:31.000 And he's all in.
00:09:34.600 This is what going all in looks like.
00:09:37.440 When the richest man in the world
00:09:39.400 who's got the most on the line,
00:09:41.920 the biggest risk,
00:09:43.320 one of the most capable people,
00:09:45.340 200 million followers,
00:09:47.180 when he tells you
00:09:48.100 we're not going to lose Pennsylvania
00:09:49.860 because he's going to make sure
00:09:51.900 personally.
00:09:54.080 Click.
00:09:55.880 Did he hear that?
00:09:57.580 That's another Tumblr.
00:09:59.260 Just fell into place.
00:10:05.740 Well, there's a Nobel Economics Prize
00:10:08.160 was awarded.
00:10:09.140 And don't say
00:10:09.820 the Nobel Prize in Economics.
00:10:12.740 Please, people.
00:10:13.980 Please.
00:10:14.960 No, it's called
00:10:15.660 the Nobel Economics Prize.
00:10:17.180 It is not the Nobel Prize
00:10:18.700 in economics.
00:10:20.340 Slightly different
00:10:21.320 in ways that don't make
00:10:22.880 any difference to anybody.
00:10:24.920 But if you'd like to be an NPC,
00:10:27.220 you should always point that out
00:10:28.780 when anybody mentions
00:10:29.740 the topic of the
00:10:30.880 Nobel Economics Prize.
00:10:33.260 So if I mention swimming,
00:10:35.440 the NPC should say
00:10:36.740 it's the best form of exercise.
00:10:38.600 If I mention a new form of food,
00:10:42.120 the NPC is must,
00:10:43.820 you must,
00:10:44.480 you're programmed to say,
00:10:46.400 soil and green,
00:10:47.260 it's soil and green.
00:10:48.460 If somebody suggests
00:10:49.720 building a new
00:10:51.460 and better form of housing,
00:10:53.720 the NPC is must,
00:10:55.040 you're programmed to do it,
00:10:56.700 say,
00:10:57.060 I will not live
00:10:57.920 in a tiny house,
00:10:59.040 even though tiny houses
00:11:00.580 are not the topic.
00:11:02.500 Those are the ways
00:11:03.420 to be an NPC.
00:11:04.460 So just remember,
00:11:05.640 Nobel Economics Prize
00:11:06.880 starts screaming,
00:11:07.920 there is no
00:11:08.480 Nobel Economic Prize.
00:11:10.420 Or Nobel Prize.
00:11:11.440 Anyway,
00:11:12.560 so it was awarded
00:11:13.820 for research
00:11:14.720 into why countries
00:11:16.420 succeed or fail.
00:11:19.280 And the bottom line
00:11:21.480 was that societies
00:11:22.440 with a poor rule of law
00:11:24.120 and institutions
00:11:25.620 that exploit the population
00:11:27.280 do not generate growth
00:11:29.300 or change for the better.
00:11:34.660 Now,
00:11:35.560 you probably know
00:11:37.100 what I'm going to say.
00:11:37.780 Okay.
00:11:37.800 You could have just asked me.
00:11:44.840 I mean,
00:11:45.560 it would have saved
00:11:46.120 a lot of time.
00:11:47.540 And I would not
00:11:48.720 have even required
00:11:49.920 any kind of
00:11:50.940 Nobel Economics Prize,
00:11:52.760 which you call
00:11:53.420 the Nobel Prize
00:11:54.300 for Economics
00:11:55.020 incorrectly.
00:11:57.300 No,
00:11:57.940 you could have just asked me,
00:11:59.200 hey, Scott,
00:12:00.360 what makes a country fail?
00:12:03.140 And I'd say,
00:12:03.600 well,
00:12:04.180 how about if all
00:12:05.360 the institutions
00:12:06.200 in the country
00:12:06.960 are corrupt?
00:12:08.800 Really?
00:12:10.180 So,
00:12:10.960 if all the institutions
00:12:12.720 in the country
00:12:13.640 are working
00:12:14.780 against the population,
00:12:16.600 you're saying
00:12:17.120 that that would make you
00:12:18.040 less successful?
00:12:19.120 And I'd say,
00:12:19.880 I know,
00:12:20.820 I know.
00:12:22.020 You could study it,
00:12:23.320 but I'm pretty sure
00:12:24.180 that's going to be
00:12:24.900 what's going to come out
00:12:25.740 of that,
00:12:26.420 is that your institutions
00:12:27.620 are all broken.
00:12:29.380 But,
00:12:30.180 here's the fun part.
00:12:33.960 Why are they broken?
00:12:34.980 Oh,
00:12:37.380 turns out
00:12:38.320 somebody's going
00:12:38.980 to have to do
00:12:39.540 a little extra work
00:12:40.500 and maybe get
00:12:41.180 themselves
00:12:42.100 a much better
00:12:44.000 economic,
00:12:45.980 Nobel Economics Prize
00:12:47.220 if they can figure out
00:12:49.060 what exactly
00:12:50.400 causes some societies
00:12:51.760 to have a poor
00:12:52.680 rule of law.
00:12:54.560 Huh.
00:12:55.240 Is there any
00:12:56.080 correlation
00:12:56.660 between countries
00:12:58.720 that have a good
00:12:59.400 rule of law
00:13:00.120 and countries
00:13:01.280 that have a poor
00:13:02.320 rule of law?
00:13:03.160 Yeah,
00:13:05.900 you're not allowed
00:13:06.400 to ask that question.
00:13:08.060 Next.
00:13:09.520 Why do we,
00:13:10.660 why do we,
00:13:12.560 some people thrive
00:13:13.440 when others fall
00:13:14.220 behind,
00:13:14.800 such science says.
00:13:18.460 Did you know
00:13:19.260 that our happiness
00:13:19.860 is influenced
00:13:20.660 only if there are
00:13:22.140 people around us
00:13:23.080 who are doing worse?
00:13:25.180 If you're hanging
00:13:26.240 out with people
00:13:26.820 who are all doing
00:13:27.360 better than you,
00:13:29.120 what happens?
00:13:31.200 You're unhappy
00:13:32.080 because you're like,
00:13:33.460 why am I not
00:13:34.400 doing as good
00:13:35.060 as everybody else?
00:13:36.420 And it turns out
00:13:37.640 that you need
00:13:38.160 a few people
00:13:38.840 who are doing
00:13:39.300 worse than you
00:13:40.020 or you won't
00:13:40.860 be happy.
00:13:41.720 So they did
00:13:42.380 a study on that.
00:13:45.220 People,
00:13:46.100 people,
00:13:46.640 you didn't need
00:13:49.080 to do that study.
00:13:51.460 Just ask.
00:13:53.060 Just ask me
00:13:53.840 next time.
00:13:55.040 Yes,
00:13:55.780 you can't be,
00:13:56.560 you can't be happy
00:13:57.560 if everybody
00:13:58.180 around you
00:13:58.720 is doing better.
00:14:00.020 You didn't really
00:14:00.860 need to do
00:14:01.380 that study.
00:14:02.760 You could have
00:14:03.460 just asked me.
00:14:05.060 Saving a lot
00:14:05.680 of time.
00:14:08.220 Well,
00:14:08.940 you know,
00:14:09.460 I've been talking
00:14:10.020 about the app
00:14:11.800 Perplexity,
00:14:13.080 which is sort
00:14:13.940 of a replacement
00:14:14.640 for Google Search,
00:14:16.560 but way better
00:14:17.560 user interface.
00:14:19.060 And New York Times
00:14:20.160 was suing them
00:14:21.780 for using
00:14:22.540 the New York Times
00:14:23.280 content in some way
00:14:25.220 that they thought
00:14:25.620 was inappropriate.
00:14:26.220 the Wall Street
00:14:27.380 Journal has joined
00:14:28.360 that fight
00:14:30.060 also going after
00:14:31.880 them.
00:14:32.500 So this is a pretty
00:14:33.620 interesting fight.
00:14:34.520 So you've got
00:14:34.820 Jeff Bezos
00:14:35.600 who's backing
00:14:36.480 Perplexity,
00:14:37.760 but he's up
00:14:38.820 against the Wall
00:14:39.540 Street Journal
00:14:40.100 and the New York
00:14:40.820 Times.
00:14:42.040 Who's missing?
00:14:43.280 Let's see,
00:14:43.660 the biggest newspapers.
00:14:45.440 Biggest newspapers.
00:14:46.500 You've got the
00:14:46.820 Wall Street Journal.
00:14:48.720 You've got the
00:14:49.580 New York Times.
00:14:51.080 What's that other
00:14:52.040 big newspaper
00:14:52.760 that's often
00:14:54.140 mentioned in the
00:14:55.120 news?
00:14:55.440 Oh,
00:14:56.140 the Washington
00:14:56.660 Post.
00:14:57.720 The Washington
00:14:58.460 Post would be
00:14:59.300 rounding out
00:15:00.920 the big three.
00:15:02.440 But the Washington
00:15:03.120 Post is not
00:15:03.880 suing Perplexity.
00:15:06.200 I wonder why.
00:15:08.100 What do
00:15:08.480 Perplexity and
00:15:09.580 the Washington
00:15:10.220 Post?
00:15:10.520 Oh,
00:15:11.540 that's right.
00:15:12.500 Bezos owns
00:15:13.580 both of them.
00:15:15.540 It seems to me
00:15:16.800 that if the
00:15:17.760 Washington Post
00:15:18.560 covers all the
00:15:19.500 big stories
00:15:20.220 news and
00:15:21.140 real news
00:15:22.300 that if you
00:15:23.860 were the
00:15:24.180 person who
00:15:24.760 owned both
00:15:25.240 of them
00:15:25.520 or had
00:15:25.880 influence over
00:15:26.580 both of
00:15:27.000 them,
00:15:27.640 you could
00:15:28.020 just use
00:15:28.460 the Washington
00:15:28.920 Post because
00:15:30.360 it covers all
00:15:30.940 the same
00:15:31.260 news,
00:15:31.840 right?
00:15:35.000 Unless you
00:15:35.640 think the
00:15:36.020 Washington Post
00:15:36.840 is fake
00:15:37.320 news and
00:15:38.340 then you
00:15:38.640 wouldn't use
00:15:39.100 it as your
00:15:39.500 single source.
00:15:40.720 But it is
00:15:41.560 better to have
00:15:42.000 multiple sources
00:15:42.800 than single
00:15:43.380 sources.
00:15:43.820 I joke.
00:15:45.140 I kid.
00:15:46.280 And I don't
00:15:47.060 know how
00:15:47.500 that's going
00:15:47.860 to turn out.
00:15:48.420 It would be
00:15:48.680 hard to
00:15:49.000 predict because
00:15:49.700 it's all the
00:15:50.160 billionaires
00:15:50.640 fighting each
00:15:51.180 other.
00:15:51.900 Ontario,

00:16:52.380 Anyway, how
00:16:55.380 many of you saw
00:16:56.560 the video clips
00:16:57.720 of, was it
00:17:00.240 Martha Raddich
00:17:01.280 talking to
00:17:02.420 J.D.
00:17:02.860 Vance on the
00:17:04.200 question of
00:17:04.940 the problems
00:17:06.860 from the
00:17:07.340 Venezuelan
00:17:07.980 gangs and the
00:17:08.820 apartment buildings?
00:17:10.580 Yesterday, I
00:17:11.580 said on the
00:17:12.060 show that
00:17:13.660 J.D.
00:17:14.420 pulled a
00:17:15.360 clever move
00:17:16.380 on her.
00:17:18.620 And I said
00:17:19.140 that Raddich
00:17:21.020 said that
00:17:21.760 there were
00:17:22.300 several reports
00:17:23.580 of instances
00:17:24.300 of problems
00:17:25.140 at apartments.
00:17:27.520 And J.D.
00:17:28.820 Vance kind
00:17:30.120 of altered
00:17:30.540 that into
00:17:31.320 saying that
00:17:32.000 there were
00:17:33.100 several apartments
00:17:34.140 taken over,
00:17:35.340 which is not
00:17:36.320 what Raddich
00:17:37.160 said.
00:17:37.480 She said
00:17:37.780 there were
00:17:38.020 incidents that
00:17:38.740 had been
00:17:39.000 handled.
00:17:40.320 And then
00:17:41.040 J.D.
00:17:41.480 said, do
00:17:42.640 you hear what
00:17:43.140 you're saying?
00:17:44.380 You're saying
00:17:44.900 it's not a
00:17:45.400 problem if
00:17:45.880 several apartments
00:17:46.780 have been
00:17:47.200 taken over.
00:17:48.820 And then I
00:17:49.660 said, aha,
00:17:50.880 that was a
00:17:51.280 clever move
00:17:52.040 because she
00:17:52.720 didn't say
00:17:53.420 several apartments
00:17:54.600 had been
00:17:54.960 taken over.
00:17:56.120 She said
00:17:56.700 that there
00:17:57.280 were several
00:17:57.720 instances at
00:17:59.040 apartments,
00:18:00.380 several apartments.
00:18:02.500 And I
00:18:03.140 said, that's
00:18:03.620 different.
00:18:04.480 And then you
00:18:05.060 said, Scott,
00:18:06.060 you got that
00:18:06.580 story completely
00:18:07.380 wrong, and I
00:18:08.220 saw it with
00:18:08.640 my own eyes.
00:18:10.600 Correct?
00:18:12.380 How many, am
00:18:13.240 I correct so
00:18:14.220 far that I
00:18:14.820 got it wrong
00:18:15.500 when I said
00:18:16.980 that J.D.
00:18:17.540 Vance was
00:18:18.000 pulling a
00:18:18.420 clever one,
00:18:19.580 you know,
00:18:19.920 linguistically,
00:18:20.780 and that
00:18:21.380 really he was
00:18:22.300 just saying
00:18:22.700 what she
00:18:23.000 said, and
00:18:23.760 there was
00:18:23.940 no cleverness.
00:18:24.760 He was
00:18:24.940 just, you
00:18:25.380 know, he
00:18:25.560 was right
00:18:25.900 and she
00:18:26.120 was wrong,
00:18:26.640 wrong, but
00:18:27.420 there was
00:18:27.620 no clever
00:18:28.700 linguistic
00:18:29.260 thing
00:18:29.640 involved.
00:18:31.540 So, yesterday
00:18:33.100 one of you
00:18:34.340 sent it to
00:18:34.880 me and
00:18:36.140 said, here
00:18:36.700 it is to
00:18:37.940 prove that
00:18:38.460 you got it
00:18:38.900 wrong.
00:18:39.840 And then I
00:18:40.520 watched it
00:18:41.080 and I
00:18:41.620 thought, no,
00:18:42.440 that's what I
00:18:42.960 said.
00:18:44.360 That's what I
00:18:45.020 said.
00:18:45.320 That's not
00:18:45.660 wrong.
00:18:47.540 And then the
00:18:48.200 person who
00:18:48.640 sent it said,
00:18:49.960 well, I'm
00:18:50.300 looking right at
00:18:50.920 it and listening
00:18:51.420 to it too.
00:18:52.060 it's wrong.
00:18:55.300 And then I
00:18:56.000 looked at it
00:18:56.500 and said, no,
00:18:57.040 I'm right.
00:18:58.380 So, how can
00:18:59.160 that be?
00:19:00.740 Do you know
00:19:01.260 what the
00:19:01.500 answer is?
00:19:02.540 It's a
00:19:03.060 Rupar.
00:19:04.980 You saw a
00:19:06.000 fake edit.
00:19:07.640 They did
00:19:08.180 exactly to
00:19:09.000 Radich, I
00:19:10.480 guess the
00:19:10.820 Republicans,
00:19:11.620 did to
00:19:11.940 Radich
00:19:12.240 exactly what
00:19:13.180 was done to
00:19:13.720 Trump on a
00:19:14.280 number of
00:19:14.620 occasions.
00:19:15.800 There are
00:19:16.100 two famous
00:19:17.260 hoaxes where
00:19:18.840 there was a
00:19:19.320 little bit of
00:19:19.820 ambiguity
00:19:20.480 but the
00:19:23.060 ambiguity was
00:19:23.920 completely solved
00:19:25.120 if you waited
00:19:26.420 to the last
00:19:27.040 statement.
00:19:28.500 In the
00:19:28.780 fine people
00:19:29.360 hoax,
00:19:30.640 Trump's last
00:19:31.740 statement was,
00:19:32.920 but I'm not
00:19:33.480 talking about
00:19:34.140 the neo-Nazis
00:19:35.060 and the racists.
00:19:36.440 If you take
00:19:36.920 that out,
00:19:37.800 it leaves the
00:19:38.380 ambiguity that,
00:19:39.260 well, maybe
00:19:39.800 he was,
00:19:40.680 but he was
00:19:41.380 very clear in
00:19:42.080 saying not.
00:19:43.720 When the
00:19:45.700 hoax about
00:19:46.260 the drinking
00:19:46.820 bleach happened
00:19:47.620 and everybody
00:19:48.740 said, he's not
00:19:49.520 talking about
00:19:50.060 light as
00:19:50.460 a disinfectant,
00:19:52.060 that's because
00:19:52.660 the edit took
00:19:54.240 out his setup
00:19:55.100 that he was
00:19:55.680 talking about
00:19:56.220 light and
00:19:57.240 then also
00:19:57.800 took out his
00:19:58.860 closing statement
00:19:59.860 where he
00:20:00.840 clarified he
00:20:01.480 was talking
00:20:01.820 about light.
00:20:02.740 If you take
00:20:03.560 them out,
00:20:04.920 the ambiguity
00:20:05.660 remains and
00:20:06.540 you can
00:20:06.820 interpret it
00:20:07.400 the wrong
00:20:07.700 way.
00:20:09.480 I believe
00:20:10.200 the last
00:20:10.680 thing that
00:20:11.100 Radich said
00:20:11.720 was, we're
00:20:12.920 talking about
00:20:13.380 a handful
00:20:13.780 of incidents.
00:20:15.900 So that was
00:20:16.680 the clarifier
00:20:17.420 at the end
00:20:18.060 that got cut
00:20:19.260 off.
00:20:20.520 So instead
00:20:20.980 of apartments
00:20:22.580 taken over,
00:20:24.260 she was
00:20:24.820 always talking
00:20:25.460 about incidents
00:20:26.480 which was
00:20:27.620 across several
00:20:28.300 apartments,
00:20:29.300 but never,
00:20:30.560 not once,
00:20:32.320 did Radich
00:20:33.060 acknowledge that
00:20:34.280 several apartments
00:20:35.100 had been taken
00:20:36.000 over by gangs.
00:20:38.000 J.D.
00:20:38.340 Vance added
00:20:40.280 sort of the
00:20:40.840 takeover part,
00:20:42.120 but then when
00:20:43.300 Radich went to
00:20:44.960 give the final
00:20:45.620 clarification
00:20:46.380 of, but
00:20:48.120 we're only
00:20:48.420 talking about
00:20:49.000 a handful
00:20:49.580 of incidents.
00:20:51.020 That part
00:20:51.720 got cut
00:20:52.220 off, so
00:20:53.340 you don't
00:20:53.680 know that
00:20:54.020 in the end
00:20:54.520 she was
00:20:54.900 clarifying that
00:20:55.600 we're not
00:20:55.900 talking about
00:20:56.460 apartment
00:20:57.180 takeovers.
00:20:59.380 By the way,
00:21:00.720 she was just
00:21:01.460 quoting the
00:21:02.120 local officials,
00:21:03.500 so she's
00:21:04.420 just saying
00:21:04.760 they say
00:21:05.340 it's just
00:21:06.020 incidents.
00:21:07.400 Now, in
00:21:08.220 my opinion,
00:21:09.820 I'm 100%
00:21:11.020 right,
00:21:11.440 and that
00:21:13.820 J.D.
00:21:14.240 Vance was
00:21:14.760 very clever
00:21:15.480 in trying
00:21:16.680 to take
00:21:18.300 a handful
00:21:19.340 of incidents
00:21:20.340 across several
00:21:21.640 apartments and
00:21:22.980 turn it into
00:21:23.760 several apartment
00:21:25.220 complexes have
00:21:26.200 been taken
00:21:26.660 over by
00:21:27.760 gangs.
00:21:28.520 Now, I
00:21:29.580 don't know
00:21:29.860 what really
00:21:30.300 happened,
00:21:30.800 by the way.
00:21:32.320 If it's
00:21:33.200 true that
00:21:33.660 several gangs
00:21:34.480 took over
00:21:35.100 several apartments,
00:21:36.700 that would
00:21:36.920 be, then
00:21:37.840 J.D.'s
00:21:38.920 reframe is
00:21:41.140 100%
00:21:41.880 accurate.
00:21:43.800 However,
00:21:44.740 they were
00:21:45.720 not talking
00:21:46.280 about the
00:21:46.640 same thing.
00:21:47.440 That's my
00:21:47.860 only point.
00:21:48.660 So I'm
00:21:49.000 not talking
00:21:49.420 about what's
00:21:49.920 true.
00:21:50.940 That's a
00:21:51.300 different topic.
00:21:52.620 I don't
00:21:53.100 know what's
00:21:53.520 true.
00:21:54.420 I'm saying
00:21:55.100 that one
00:21:55.640 was claiming
00:21:56.240 that there
00:21:56.760 were incidents
00:21:57.460 and another
00:21:58.440 was claiming
00:21:59.040 that several
00:21:59.620 apartments were
00:22:00.420 completely taken
00:22:01.260 over by
00:22:01.740 gangs.
00:22:02.580 Not the
00:22:03.340 same topic.
00:22:04.380 That's my
00:22:05.040 only point.
00:22:06.200 Now, if
00:22:07.080 you're disagreeing
00:22:08.240 with me violently
00:22:09.040 right now, and
00:22:09.980 I know you
00:22:10.380 are,
00:22:11.140 you have
00:22:12.140 to go
00:22:12.440 find the
00:22:12.960 full video.
00:22:15.780 If you
00:22:16.100 see the
00:22:16.380 one that's
00:22:16.700 on social
00:22:17.180 media, they
00:22:17.720 clip out
00:22:18.160 the clarifiers.
00:22:20.260 So that's
00:22:20.860 what's
00:22:21.040 happening.
00:22:23.240 All right.
00:22:25.020 There are
00:22:25.840 some bipartisan
00:22:26.900 lawmaker-type
00:22:28.120 people trying
00:22:28.900 to extend
00:22:29.640 telemedicine.
00:22:31.920 Now, you
00:22:32.380 might know
00:22:33.020 this story
00:22:33.900 because I'm
00:22:35.020 part of it.
00:22:35.600 when the
00:22:37.180 pandemic
00:22:37.500 happened,
00:22:38.920 President
00:22:39.760 Trump put
00:22:40.380 out the
00:22:40.720 word through
00:22:41.260 his extensive
00:22:42.100 network of
00:22:43.080 supporters and
00:22:44.540 people that
00:22:46.220 if they had
00:22:46.720 any ideas
00:22:47.480 for executive
00:22:48.220 orders that
00:22:49.700 would just be
00:22:50.220 a good idea
00:22:50.980 during this
00:22:51.500 pandemic, that
00:22:53.060 he was open
00:22:53.660 to suggestions.
00:22:55.460 So I
00:22:57.480 heard of
00:22:57.960 this, and
00:22:59.260 I said,
00:23:00.240 oh, I
00:23:00.640 got one.
00:23:01.740 We need
00:23:02.180 to make
00:23:02.480 telemedicine
00:23:03.460 available across
00:23:04.900 state lines
00:23:05.640 because currently
00:23:06.380 it's limited.
00:23:07.200 You'd have to
00:23:07.600 be a doctor
00:23:08.120 in that state
00:23:08.840 to provide
00:23:09.740 phone service
00:23:11.340 to somebody.
00:23:12.480 And I said,
00:23:12.900 let's just get
00:23:13.440 rid of that
00:23:14.060 because people
00:23:15.020 won't be able
00:23:15.540 to go to
00:23:15.880 the doctor
00:23:16.280 in person
00:23:16.760 as much.
00:23:18.620 And so
00:23:19.240 my suggestion
00:23:20.360 made it
00:23:21.060 into the
00:23:21.640 system.
00:23:23.840 And within
00:23:24.380 hours, I
00:23:25.740 got feedback
00:23:26.300 that it
00:23:27.900 was accepted.
00:23:28.640 And I
00:23:29.940 think just
00:23:31.000 days later,
00:23:31.940 President Trump
00:23:32.620 signed it.
00:23:34.240 Now, I
00:23:34.740 like to use
00:23:35.580 this example.
00:23:36.340 I've got
00:23:36.580 several examples
00:23:37.360 like this
00:23:37.920 where people
00:23:38.860 always say,
00:23:40.060 well, one
00:23:40.460 person can
00:23:41.060 never make
00:23:41.500 a difference.
00:23:42.660 Yes, they
00:23:42.980 can.
00:23:44.100 They totally
00:23:44.600 can.
00:23:45.340 One person
00:23:45.960 can absolutely
00:23:46.720 make a
00:23:47.320 difference.
00:23:48.260 Now, unfortunately,
00:23:48.980 it got reversed
00:23:49.700 because after the
00:23:51.080 pandemic was
00:23:51.820 over, there
00:23:52.220 were various
00:23:52.800 monetary and
00:23:54.920 licensing
00:23:55.420 entities that
00:23:56.760 wanted things
00:23:57.340 back the
00:23:57.760 old way.
00:23:58.140 So it
00:23:58.840 kind of
00:23:59.200 drifted back
00:23:59.800 the old
00:24:00.120 way.
00:24:01.060 And now
00:24:01.320 there are
00:24:01.680 some
00:24:02.040 bipartisan.
00:24:05.220 Bipartisan is
00:24:05.980 the most
00:24:06.280 important part
00:24:07.060 of the story
00:24:07.520 because there's
00:24:07.960 no real
00:24:08.580 reason in
00:24:10.180 terms of
00:24:10.540 the public
00:24:10.960 good why
00:24:11.940 you shouldn't
00:24:12.460 allow
00:24:12.800 telemedicine
00:24:13.740 to flourish.
00:24:14.980 There's just
00:24:15.540 no reason,
00:24:16.440 especially with
00:24:17.100 AI and
00:24:17.620 everything else.
00:24:20.240 So you
00:24:21.160 might say,
00:24:21.820 who exactly
00:24:22.760 is against
00:24:23.440 it?
00:24:24.440 Well, it
00:24:24.740 turns out
00:24:25.120 the DEA,
00:24:26.580 the Drug
00:24:27.020 Enforcement
00:24:27.500 Administration,
00:24:29.060 wants to
00:24:29.900 limit what
00:24:31.120 kind of
00:24:31.720 prescriptions
00:24:32.560 can be
00:24:33.200 given over
00:24:33.680 the phone
00:24:34.160 because they
00:24:35.360 worry that
00:24:36.020 this will
00:24:36.400 become like
00:24:37.000 an illegal
00:24:37.500 way for
00:24:38.040 doctors to
00:24:38.800 easily
00:24:39.680 prescribe
00:24:40.380 illegal
00:24:41.000 painkillers
00:24:45.180 and stuff
00:24:45.500 like that,
00:24:46.560 Adderall,
00:24:47.520 things that
00:24:47.960 they want
00:24:49.100 to really
00:24:49.500 control.
00:24:49.960 And I
00:24:52.580 think that
00:24:52.960 there, I
00:24:53.880 would say
00:24:54.400 two things.
00:24:55.240 Number one,
00:24:56.300 is it
00:24:56.760 true that
00:24:57.860 telemedicine
00:24:58.600 would increase
00:24:59.480 the likelihood
00:25:00.840 there would
00:25:01.580 be fake
00:25:02.180 prescriptions
00:25:02.900 which would
00:25:03.460 be very
00:25:03.860 deadly?
00:25:04.560 My answer
00:25:05.320 is probably,
00:25:07.800 probably.
00:25:09.320 And then I
00:25:10.300 say, is
00:25:11.520 that enough
00:25:13.440 of a problem
00:25:14.120 to prevent
00:25:15.420 doctors from
00:25:16.460 operating across
00:25:17.380 state lines?
00:25:18.160 To which I
00:25:18.700 say, I
00:25:19.680 don't think
00:25:20.080 so.
00:25:20.880 I think I
00:25:21.420 would much
00:25:21.760 rather have
00:25:22.260 doctors operating
00:25:23.180 across state
00:25:23.820 lines.
00:25:24.760 Much rather.
00:25:25.980 Because whatever
00:25:26.840 it is that
00:25:27.340 they're doing
00:25:27.720 over the
00:25:28.140 phone to
00:25:29.680 make these
00:25:30.440 prescriptions,
00:25:31.740 how would it
00:25:33.020 not be also
00:25:34.220 bad in person?
00:25:36.340 Well, I
00:25:36.740 suppose if
00:25:37.200 there's a
00:25:37.540 bad actor,
00:25:39.020 then the
00:25:39.380 bad actor
00:25:39.940 could reach
00:25:40.520 more people
00:25:41.120 more easily.
00:25:42.140 So that
00:25:42.540 would be
00:25:42.800 valid.
00:25:43.660 But I
00:25:44.500 think freedom
00:25:45.160 requires that
00:25:46.020 we take that
00:25:46.720 chance.
00:25:48.300 And I
00:25:48.580 don't think
00:25:48.900 the DEA
00:25:49.620 should be
00:25:50.020 in the
00:25:50.240 business
00:25:50.620 of
00:25:51.120 doctoring.
00:25:53.640 If the
00:25:54.280 doctors said
00:25:55.040 it's a
00:25:55.340 bad idea,
00:25:56.020 I would
00:25:56.360 listen to
00:25:56.800 their
00:25:56.960 reasons.
00:25:58.060 And doctors
00:25:59.140 might not
00:25:59.660 love it
00:26:00.160 because it
00:26:00.620 would increase
00:26:01.320 their competition
00:26:02.140 and lower
00:26:02.800 their wages.
00:26:05.600 But if they
00:26:06.280 have a reason
00:26:06.760 that has
00:26:07.060 something to
00:26:07.480 do with
00:26:07.720 the public,
00:26:08.700 I would
00:26:09.320 listen to
00:26:09.720 the doctors.
00:26:10.700 I'm not
00:26:11.140 sure that I
00:26:12.820 want the
00:26:13.160 DEA,
00:26:13.780 even if they're
00:26:14.320 right,
00:26:15.460 and I think
00:26:15.920 they might be
00:26:16.380 right,
00:26:16.620 it would
00:26:16.820 increase
00:26:17.220 the abuse.
00:26:18.500 But I
00:26:19.140 still think
00:26:19.660 the doctors
00:26:20.200 need to
00:26:20.580 make that
00:26:20.960 call.
00:26:22.460 And in
00:26:23.000 this case,
00:26:23.440 the bipartisan
00:26:24.040 folks who
00:26:25.420 are trying
00:26:25.660 to get it
00:26:26.000 done.
00:26:27.420 I don't
00:26:27.960 think I
00:26:28.320 wrote down
00:26:28.680 the names
00:26:29.120 of the
00:26:29.380 bipartisan
00:26:29.820 groups,
00:26:30.700 but the
00:26:32.180 Hill is
00:26:32.600 reporting on
00:26:33.140 this,
00:26:33.380 by the
00:26:33.540 way.
00:26:34.020 Joseph
00:26:34.320 Choi.
00:26:37.380 Did you
00:26:37.980 know,
00:26:38.840 this I did
00:26:39.560 not expect,
00:26:40.220 according to
00:26:40.880 ABC Action
00:26:41.980 News 6,
00:26:42.720 that opioid
00:26:44.660 overdose
00:26:45.640 antidotes
00:26:47.400 rose 43%
00:26:50.360 from 2020
00:26:51.660 to 2022.
00:26:53.000 Now,
00:26:53.240 that means
00:26:53.720 if somebody
00:26:55.980 is passed
00:26:57.060 down and
00:26:57.540 ready to
00:26:57.960 die from
00:26:58.420 an overdose
00:26:59.040 of fentanyl
00:27:00.440 or some
00:27:00.840 other opioid,
00:27:02.280 you give
00:27:02.780 them the,
00:27:03.700 what's it
00:27:04.240 called?
00:27:06.480 What's
00:27:07.080 called?
00:27:08.500 You all
00:27:09.160 know what
00:27:09.400 it is,
00:27:09.800 the noxaline,
00:27:11.040 what's that
00:27:11.360 called?
00:27:11.560 Noxaline,
00:27:14.800 Nomaloxi,
00:27:16.160 what's the
00:27:16.460 name of
00:27:16.760 the antidote
00:27:17.700 for fentanyl?
00:27:20.800 Naxalimine,
00:27:21.700 or Narcan.
00:27:23.680 There we
00:27:24.260 go,
00:27:24.620 Narcan,
00:27:25.100 thank you.
00:27:26.740 I'm really
00:27:27.620 bad at
00:27:28.240 medical names.
00:27:29.600 Narcan.
00:27:30.540 So Narcan,
00:27:31.460 I believe,
00:27:31.940 is now over
00:27:32.460 the counter.
00:27:34.060 So I
00:27:35.060 would recommend,
00:27:36.660 and I have
00:27:37.200 recommended this
00:27:37.880 before,
00:27:38.860 that every
00:27:39.820 household
00:27:40.500 should have
00:27:42.180 two.
00:27:43.860 Now,
00:27:44.500 the reason
00:27:44.920 that I'm
00:27:45.300 saying two
00:27:46.060 is because
00:27:47.480 I'm told
00:27:48.240 reliably,
00:27:49.100 good sources,
00:27:50.400 that it's
00:27:50.920 not rare
00:27:52.800 that you
00:27:53.760 need the
00:27:54.080 second dose.
00:27:56.040 So the
00:27:56.740 one Narcan,
00:27:57.880 sometimes,
00:27:58.780 maybe 20%
00:27:59.680 of the time,
00:28:00.340 it's a
00:28:01.400 healthy number
00:28:01.960 of times,
00:28:02.920 isn't enough.
00:28:03.800 So you just
00:28:04.320 need that second
00:28:05.020 one right there.
00:28:06.200 Now,
00:28:06.560 I would say
00:28:07.140 that in your
00:28:07.680 neighborhood,
00:28:08.100 you should
00:28:09.060 be organized.
00:28:10.680 You should
00:28:11.220 be on a
00:28:11.600 WhatsApp group
00:28:12.260 for your
00:28:12.680 neighborhood.
00:28:13.000 If you're
00:28:13.380 not already,
00:28:14.000 you should
00:28:14.260 get that
00:28:14.600 going.
00:28:15.740 And then
00:28:16.080 if somebody
00:28:16.800 has a
00:28:17.600 OD,
00:28:18.800 you can
00:28:19.160 just get
00:28:19.560 on your
00:28:19.880 app and
00:28:20.320 say,
00:28:20.780 Narcan
00:28:21.220 now,
00:28:22.100 here's my
00:28:22.680 address,
00:28:23.460 and there
00:28:23.980 should be
00:28:24.380 five neighbors
00:28:25.080 who show
00:28:25.520 up with it
00:28:26.060 within
00:28:27.000 a minute.
00:28:30.320 I mean,
00:28:30.680 we could
00:28:31.000 have that
00:28:31.400 world.
00:28:32.520 It would
00:28:33.020 take a lot
00:28:33.760 of organizing,
00:28:34.840 but apparently
00:28:35.520 it's worked so
00:28:36.240 well that
00:28:36.660 the overdose
00:28:37.160 deaths
00:28:37.500 slightly
00:28:37.920 decreased.
00:28:39.780 Slightly
00:28:40.200 decreased.
00:28:42.080 Now,
00:28:42.620 a slight
00:28:42.880 decrease
00:28:43.300 doesn't
00:28:43.680 excite me,
00:28:44.920 but it
00:28:45.400 had been
00:28:45.820 going up
00:28:46.440 every year.
00:28:48.640 So,
00:28:49.260 good job,
00:28:50.360 everybody,
00:28:50.960 on the
00:28:51.300 Narcan.
00:28:53.340 Good,
00:28:53.960 good job.
00:28:55.460 You know,
00:28:55.720 this is one
00:28:56.360 of those
00:28:56.700 golden age
00:28:57.320 situations
00:28:58.000 where the,
00:29:00.200 in many
00:29:00.880 ways,
00:29:01.360 it looks
00:29:01.820 like largely
00:29:02.540 the public
00:29:03.360 organized to
00:29:04.340 make this
00:29:04.720 happen.
00:29:05.000 so this
00:29:05.840 is a
00:29:06.100 case where
00:29:06.500 the
00:29:06.660 government
00:29:06.960 can only
00:29:07.460 do so
00:29:07.880 much.
00:29:09.380 There's
00:29:09.580 just so
00:29:09.940 much.
00:29:10.600 One of
00:29:11.040 the things
00:29:11.260 they could
00:29:11.700 do is
00:29:12.080 make it
00:29:12.520 available
00:29:13.080 over the
00:29:13.920 counter.
00:29:14.760 And I
00:29:14.980 think the
00:29:15.340 government
00:29:15.580 did that
00:29:16.100 in enough
00:29:16.580 states
00:29:16.980 where it
00:29:17.280 makes a
00:29:17.560 difference.
00:29:18.520 So the
00:29:19.240 government
00:29:19.540 can get
00:29:20.020 out of
00:29:20.280 the way,
00:29:21.360 but when
00:29:22.420 it comes
00:29:22.740 to the
00:29:23.000 overdose
00:29:23.300 deaths,
00:29:24.260 that's
00:29:24.760 all they
00:29:25.040 can do.
00:29:26.080 They can
00:29:26.620 just get
00:29:26.980 out of
00:29:27.180 the way.
00:29:28.360 And nothing
00:29:28.900 else,
00:29:29.300 really.
00:29:30.040 It's got
00:29:30.600 to be
00:29:30.840 somebody that's
00:29:31.460 standing within
00:29:32.040 20 feet
00:29:32.640 of them,
00:29:32.900 or it
00:29:35.260 doesn't
00:29:35.500 work.
00:29:37.840 Although the
00:29:38.560 police and
00:29:39.340 first responders
00:29:40.560 have done a
00:29:41.080 great job
00:29:41.600 with the
00:29:42.520 Narcan as
00:29:43.100 well.
00:29:43.300 apparently
00:29:46.540 SpaceX has
00:29:48.420 plans to
00:29:48.960 make Starlink
00:29:49.640 up to
00:29:50.140 10 times
00:29:50.660 faster.
00:29:51.220 There are
00:29:51.360 a whole
00:29:51.600 bunch of
00:29:51.920 little tweaks
00:29:52.500 they'd have
00:29:52.920 to do.
00:29:53.960 It involves
00:29:54.800 some satellites
00:29:55.440 that only
00:29:56.060 the big
00:29:56.600 starship
00:29:57.700 could take
00:29:58.160 up because
00:29:58.700 nothing else
00:29:59.500 would be
00:29:59.840 heavy enough.
00:30:01.120 And some
00:30:02.140 changes in
00:30:03.020 the altitude
00:30:03.700 and some
00:30:04.680 other tweaks.
00:30:05.540 But if they
00:30:05.920 did that,
00:30:06.400 they'd get
00:30:06.720 a 10 times
00:30:07.520 faster speed.
00:30:08.640 So they'd
00:30:09.180 be up to
00:30:09.540 gigabit
00:30:10.180 per second
00:30:11.360 and low
00:30:12.500 latency.
00:30:13.300 Now if
00:30:14.260 you're not
00:30:14.600 enough of
00:30:15.020 a nerd
00:30:15.440 to know
00:30:16.080 what a
00:30:16.340 big deal
00:30:16.740 that is,
00:30:17.680 that would
00:30:18.440 mean that
00:30:18.980 anybody
00:30:19.560 anywhere
00:30:20.240 could have
00:30:21.200 really fast
00:30:22.480 internet
00:30:22.900 just with
00:30:25.260 a phone.
00:30:26.560 If you're
00:30:26.740 with it,
00:30:27.120 you'd have to
00:30:28.720 have the
00:30:29.000 Starlink
00:30:29.440 base station
00:30:30.100 of course.
00:30:31.040 But if you
00:30:31.540 had the
00:30:31.760 base station,
00:30:33.240 you're good
00:30:33.760 to go.
00:30:34.780 Just about
00:30:35.300 anywhere.
00:30:36.300 Now this
00:30:36.740 change,
00:30:37.880 take a while
00:30:38.600 to get this
00:30:39.080 change.
00:30:40.360 If you're
00:30:41.000 looking at
00:30:41.380 it from
00:30:41.620 my business
00:30:42.220 model
00:30:42.600 perspective,
00:30:44.220 I think
00:30:44.740 I've told
00:30:45.140 you that
00:30:45.480 I'm strongly
00:30:46.700 considering
00:30:47.300 getting a
00:30:48.780 Starlink
00:30:49.220 base station
00:30:49.960 as a
00:30:51.000 backup.
00:30:52.100 So it
00:30:52.740 wouldn't be
00:30:53.040 my main
00:30:53.500 one because
00:30:54.060 I do a
00:30:54.460 lot of
00:30:54.680 live streaming
00:30:55.320 and I like
00:30:56.220 the fastest
00:30:56.820 of the fast
00:30:57.540 speeds.
00:30:58.280 So I
00:30:58.640 wouldn't use
00:30:59.140 it because
00:31:00.400 I've got a
00:31:00.860 faster ground
00:31:01.600 speed and I
00:31:02.260 use it for
00:31:02.660 business,
00:31:03.280 so it
00:31:03.840 matters.
00:31:04.120 But if
00:31:06.000 the power
00:31:06.420 goes out
00:31:07.140 and I
00:31:08.140 can power
00:31:08.580 the base
00:31:09.040 station with
00:31:09.700 a portable
00:31:10.880 generator and
00:31:12.880 the internet
00:31:13.460 itself is
00:31:14.200 still alive
00:31:14.820 in any
00:31:15.200 sense,
00:31:15.880 it could
00:31:16.380 be an
00:31:16.640 amazing
00:31:17.060 emergency
00:31:17.740 backup
00:31:18.180 system.
00:31:19.560 So I'm
00:31:20.480 strongly
00:31:20.980 considering
00:31:21.560 getting it
00:31:22.020 as a
00:31:22.340 backup,
00:31:22.940 but if
00:31:24.700 they go
00:31:25.360 to gigabit
00:31:26.680 per second,
00:31:28.180 which again
00:31:29.020 is not
00:31:29.340 right away,
00:31:30.700 then I
00:31:31.840 would really
00:31:32.300 look at it
00:31:32.840 seriously as
00:31:33.580 my only
00:31:34.480 system.
00:31:36.540 So that's
00:31:37.180 a gigantic
00:31:37.700 deal.
00:31:38.800 I remind
00:31:39.500 you that
00:31:40.020 I'm an
00:31:40.920 investor in
00:31:41.620 Tesla,
00:31:42.360 but not
00:31:42.860 SpaceX.

00:31:56.920 Scotiabank,
00:31:57.660 you're richer
00:31:58.140 than you think.
00:32:00.380 All right.
00:32:01.540 North Korea
00:32:02.460 is getting
00:32:02.880 active in a
00:32:03.560 way that
00:32:03.880 looks puzzling
00:32:05.320 and scary.
00:32:06.520 So there
00:32:06.800 are two
00:32:07.100 separate stories
00:32:07.940 about North
00:32:08.480 Korea,
00:32:09.200 and both
00:32:10.500 of them
00:32:10.840 have a
00:32:11.520 similar bad
00:32:12.700 vibe to
00:32:13.340 them.
00:32:14.020 Number one,
00:32:14.740 North Korea
00:32:15.260 allegedly just
00:32:16.100 blew up the
00:32:16.940 railways between
00:32:18.460 South and
00:32:19.120 North Korea so
00:32:20.560 that there's
00:32:21.100 less chance
00:32:22.040 of an
00:32:23.640 invasion.
00:32:25.200 So it
00:32:26.180 sounds like
00:32:26.660 North Korea
00:32:27.200 is concerned
00:32:28.480 about war
00:32:29.560 or is ready
00:32:30.980 to start one
00:32:31.800 with South
00:32:32.460 Korea.
00:32:33.680 Now,
00:32:34.220 apparently the
00:32:34.760 issue is
00:32:35.340 Iran.
00:32:36.740 So it looks
00:32:37.460 like North
00:32:37.920 Korea wants
00:32:38.680 to back
00:32:39.120 Iran.
00:32:39.920 So if Iran
00:32:40.520 gets attacked,
00:32:42.300 they're warning
00:32:43.600 that they would
00:32:44.200 get into the
00:32:44.740 fight with,
00:32:45.360 I don't know
00:32:45.760 who,
00:32:46.640 South Korea.
00:32:48.240 Who exactly are
00:32:49.280 they going to
00:32:49.600 attack if Iran
00:32:50.460 gets into war?
00:32:51.660 So I assume
00:32:52.440 that's because of
00:32:53.120 a trading
00:32:53.660 relationship with
00:32:55.260 Iran.
00:32:55.700 I assume that's
00:32:56.480 why they would
00:32:57.000 do that.
00:32:57.960 So to me,
00:32:58.460 it looks a
00:32:58.940 little bluff
00:32:59.820 like because
00:33:02.880 you know,
00:33:03.160 North Korea is
00:33:03.840 big on the
00:33:04.660 bluster.
00:33:05.880 So it feels
00:33:06.700 bluff like.
00:33:07.640 I don't expect
00:33:08.840 they're going to
00:33:09.360 attack South
00:33:09.940 Korea and I
00:33:11.340 don't expect
00:33:11.820 South Korea is
00:33:12.520 going to attack
00:33:13.000 them.
00:33:14.320 But at the
00:33:16.300 same time,
00:33:17.060 a separate
00:33:17.480 story,
00:33:18.080 apparently Russia
00:33:18.880 is using
00:33:20.620 North Korean
00:33:21.440 fighters and
00:33:23.760 they're organizing
00:33:24.520 and training
00:33:25.140 them.
00:33:25.520 They're called
00:33:25.820 their Buriet
00:33:26.520 Battalion.
00:33:28.100 So 3,000
00:33:29.160 North Koreans.
00:33:30.480 And I assume
00:33:31.640 that means as
00:33:32.960 mercenaries.
00:33:35.100 So just think
00:33:36.400 about how bad
00:33:37.580 off North Korea
00:33:38.460 is economically.
00:33:40.480 Do you think
00:33:41.400 that North Korea
00:33:42.160 is going to
00:33:42.760 start selling
00:33:43.740 the young men
00:33:45.320 as mercenaries?
00:33:49.040 Because it
00:33:49.820 kind of looks
00:33:50.320 like that.
00:33:51.780 Which,
00:33:52.680 by the way,
00:33:53.580 if you're in
00:33:54.240 North Korea
00:33:54.760 and you're
00:33:55.120 starving to
00:33:55.720 death,
00:33:56.700 maybe taking
00:33:57.480 a chance
00:33:57.960 at living
00:33:58.500 by being
00:33:58.980 a mercenary.
00:34:00.240 I mean,
00:34:00.420 it's not a
00:34:00.760 very good
00:34:01.080 chance,
00:34:01.600 but it
00:34:02.600 might be
00:34:02.920 better than
00:34:03.300 starving.
00:34:04.680 So I'm
00:34:05.160 wondering if
00:34:05.600 this is
00:34:05.980 nothing but
00:34:06.720 an economic
00:34:08.020 decision by
00:34:08.780 North Korea.
00:34:10.100 It could be
00:34:10.740 that for
00:34:11.140 economic reasons
00:34:12.260 they blew up
00:34:13.280 the railway
00:34:14.020 to make it
00:34:15.300 look like a
00:34:15.840 bigger threat
00:34:16.460 so Iran
00:34:17.240 would feel
00:34:17.840 safer.
00:34:18.700 Maybe Iran
00:34:19.260 said we
00:34:20.000 won't sell
00:34:22.060 you something
00:34:22.580 or we won't
00:34:23.200 buy something
00:34:23.820 unless you
00:34:24.260 do this.
00:34:25.380 And maybe
00:34:26.940 they're so
00:34:27.520 starved for
00:34:28.080 money that
00:34:28.580 if they
00:34:28.940 don't sell
00:34:29.800 their young
00:34:30.240 men as
00:34:30.660 mercenaries,
00:34:31.620 they can't
00:34:32.620 keep afloat.
00:34:33.920 So the
00:34:34.420 economic
00:34:35.200 devastation in
00:34:37.540 North Korea
00:34:38.160 is now
00:34:40.120 starting to
00:34:42.300 influence world
00:34:43.040 events in
00:34:43.680 two different
00:34:44.120 wars.
00:34:44.920 I didn't see
00:34:45.380 that coming.
00:34:46.400 Now, of
00:34:46.820 course, Trump
00:34:47.440 has already
00:34:47.880 said he can
00:34:48.580 fix this.
00:34:49.940 And you
00:34:50.180 know what's
00:34:50.460 funny about
00:34:50.940 that?
00:34:51.260 Trump can
00:34:53.060 fix this.
00:34:55.180 You don't
00:34:55.780 even have to
00:34:56.680 wonder about
00:34:57.220 it.
00:34:58.020 Do you
00:34:58.220 think Trump
00:34:58.760 could talk
00:34:59.300 to Kim
00:34:59.860 Jong-un and
00:35:00.600 make sure
00:35:01.080 that a war
00:35:01.600 doesn't break
00:35:02.140 out that
00:35:02.700 Kim Jong-un
00:35:04.240 has something
00:35:04.720 to do with
00:35:05.220 it?
00:35:06.040 Yeah.
00:35:06.960 I think he
00:35:08.080 could.
00:35:08.980 I think he
00:35:09.420 could.
00:35:10.080 And largely
00:35:10.820 because I
00:35:11.500 think North
00:35:11.900 Korea is
00:35:12.340 operating from
00:35:13.120 an economic
00:35:15.340 point of
00:35:17.420 distress.
00:35:17.920 so Trump
00:35:19.520 could say
00:35:19.940 what do
00:35:20.200 you need?
00:35:21.140 We'd love
00:35:21.660 you to have
00:35:22.040 a good
00:35:22.280 economy.
00:35:22.880 We offered
00:35:23.260 before we're
00:35:23.900 going to
00:35:24.140 help you.
00:35:25.540 And they
00:35:25.920 might say
00:35:26.560 well, we're
00:35:28.540 getting blackmailed
00:35:29.420 in this one
00:35:29.900 domain.
00:35:31.320 Now, it
00:35:31.660 could be that
00:35:32.100 China has
00:35:32.560 enough control
00:35:33.240 over North
00:35:33.860 Korea that
00:35:34.500 North Korea is
00:35:35.700 just being a
00:35:36.320 puppet and
00:35:36.900 there's nothing
00:35:37.680 you can do.
00:35:38.640 But I would
00:35:39.300 certainly say
00:35:40.000 that if we
00:35:41.660 have one
00:35:42.200 person in
00:35:42.780 America who
00:35:44.080 could solve
00:35:44.640 North Korea
00:35:45.440 causing
00:35:46.080 trouble,
00:35:46.460 who are
00:35:48.680 you going
00:35:48.840 to call?
00:35:49.900 Are you
00:35:50.140 going to
00:35:50.320 call Kamala
00:35:50.880 Harris?
00:35:52.460 Is she
00:35:53.060 your go-to
00:35:54.040 for North
00:35:54.520 Korea when
00:35:55.980 Trump is
00:35:56.560 the most
00:35:57.080 famously
00:35:57.640 successful
00:35:58.360 North Korea
00:35:59.120 diplomat of
00:36:00.620 all time?
00:36:01.680 Like nobody's
00:36:02.280 even close.
00:36:06.040 Click.
00:36:07.400 There it
00:36:08.080 is.
00:36:08.580 There's another
00:36:09.040 tumbler falling
00:36:09.840 into place.
00:36:11.520 North Korea
00:36:12.200 just said
00:36:12.940 Trump's your
00:36:14.600 only hope.
00:36:16.460 North Korea.
00:36:18.580 So you
00:36:18.820 didn't see
00:36:19.100 that coming,
00:36:19.680 did you?
00:36:22.900 Meanwhile,
00:36:23.660 Trump continues
00:36:24.440 to read the
00:36:25.280 room perfectly.
00:36:26.840 You know,
00:36:27.080 as I've been
00:36:28.120 advocating for
00:36:29.060 a while that
00:36:29.560 he should go
00:36:29.980 to a black
00:36:30.640 barbershop,
00:36:32.140 but it doesn't
00:36:32.740 have to be a
00:36:33.220 barbershop,
00:36:34.020 obviously.
00:36:34.880 You know,
00:36:35.100 maybe he
00:36:35.480 wouldn't want
00:36:35.780 to get a
00:36:36.060 haircut.
00:36:37.440 But just
00:36:38.160 going retail
00:36:39.060 where they're
00:36:40.100 just ordinary
00:36:41.000 citizens.
00:36:42.400 And apparently
00:36:42.880 next week he's
00:36:43.940 going to
00:36:44.260 officially work at
00:36:45.120 McDonald's in
00:36:45.800 Pennsylvania.
00:36:48.120 Now, how
00:36:49.440 much do I
00:36:50.100 love that?
00:36:51.900 You give me
00:36:53.480 video of
00:36:54.740 Trump just
00:36:55.360 interacting with
00:36:56.440 average people
00:36:57.540 who go to
00:36:58.080 McDonald's,
00:36:59.140 the staff,
00:37:00.060 plus the
00:37:01.020 people coming
00:37:01.660 in to buy,
00:37:02.720 and I can't
00:37:03.660 get enough of
00:37:04.140 that.
00:37:05.660 That's something
00:37:06.400 he does so
00:37:07.140 well that
00:37:09.100 it's incredible.
00:37:10.500 By the way,
00:37:11.080 you know,
00:37:11.280 I told the
00:37:12.920 story of
00:37:13.420 Bill Clinton
00:37:14.640 going into,
00:37:16.180 I think it
00:37:16.820 was McDonald's,
00:37:17.720 and he was
00:37:18.880 confused with
00:37:19.580 Joe Biden
00:37:20.100 by the woman
00:37:22.180 who was
00:37:22.440 working at
00:37:22.840 the cash
00:37:23.180 register.
00:37:24.380 But when
00:37:24.800 she found
00:37:25.220 out who
00:37:25.560 he was,
00:37:26.940 I didn't
00:37:27.460 tell you
00:37:27.740 this yesterday,
00:37:29.280 so first
00:37:30.000 of all,
00:37:30.240 just imagine
00:37:30.980 the picture.
00:37:31.560 She's a
00:37:32.220 black,
00:37:32.980 maybe 20-ish
00:37:34.020 year old
00:37:34.500 woman,
00:37:35.300 and she
00:37:36.220 finds out
00:37:36.860 that it's
00:37:37.260 Bill Clinton,
00:37:38.260 and she
00:37:39.240 runs out
00:37:39.880 from behind
00:37:40.380 the cash
00:37:40.840 register and
00:37:41.680 fully embraces
00:37:42.620 him,
00:37:43.120 gives him
00:37:43.880 a full
00:37:44.300 body hug,
00:37:45.320 and then
00:37:45.980 doesn't let
00:37:46.560 go of him
00:37:47.060 the entire
00:37:47.500 time.
00:37:47.980 They're like
00:37:48.340 taking pictures
00:37:49.120 and stuff,
00:37:50.320 and Clinton's
00:37:51.060 got his hands
00:37:51.540 around her.
00:37:52.560 And I
00:37:53.400 gotta tell
00:37:53.840 you,
00:37:54.440 this whole
00:37:55.300 charisma thing,
00:37:56.820 there's no
00:37:58.220 replacement for
00:37:59.060 it.
00:38:00.160 Bill Clinton
00:38:00.720 has the
00:38:01.380 charisma,
00:38:02.040 still has
00:38:02.780 it,
00:38:03.280 100 years
00:38:03.940 old.
00:38:05.140 He's just
00:38:05.900 got the
00:38:06.380 charisma.
00:38:07.580 The fact
00:38:08.840 that somebody
00:38:09.340 felt comfortable
00:38:10.340 running out
00:38:12.060 and giving
00:38:12.540 a full
00:38:13.040 embrace
00:38:13.600 to this
00:38:15.420 ex-president
00:38:16.220 just because
00:38:16.760 he walked
00:38:17.180 in the
00:38:17.480 door.
00:38:18.060 It was
00:38:18.400 kind of
00:38:18.660 a lovely,
00:38:20.160 sort of
00:38:20.940 a beautiful
00:38:21.420 moment,
00:38:22.400 just because
00:38:23.240 it was so
00:38:23.740 sincere.
00:38:24.840 People don't
00:38:25.580 hug,
00:38:27.200 they don't
00:38:27.740 touch each
00:38:28.320 other that
00:38:28.720 much unless
00:38:29.300 it's real.
00:38:30.600 So it
00:38:30.960 was real
00:38:31.380 in both
00:38:31.720 directions.
00:38:33.200 So Clinton,
00:38:34.560 to his
00:38:35.460 credit,
00:38:36.180 often called
00:38:36.980 the first
00:38:37.320 black
00:38:37.600 president,
00:38:38.520 boy,
00:38:38.820 does he
00:38:39.100 have a
00:38:39.360 way.
00:38:40.340 He just
00:38:40.720 has a
00:38:41.060 way.
00:38:42.040 And you
00:38:42.660 can't deny
00:38:43.120 it.
00:38:43.580 He just
00:38:43.860 had a
00:38:44.080 way.
00:38:44.660 Away with
00:38:45.120 people.
00:38:47.280 And you
00:38:47.820 could see
00:38:48.260 why he
00:38:49.160 would be
00:38:49.400 a sex
00:38:49.840 addict.
00:38:50.480 Because I
00:38:50.840 think women
00:38:51.300 just threw
00:38:51.880 themselves at
00:38:52.560 him.
00:38:53.200 I mean,
00:38:53.560 maybe some
00:38:54.260 he was a
00:38:56.400 little too
00:38:56.700 aggressive
00:38:57.060 with.
00:38:57.400 That's
00:38:57.560 another
00:38:57.780 story.
00:38:59.840 But I
00:39:00.740 think Trump
00:39:01.160 has the
00:39:01.640 same golden
00:39:02.920 touch.
00:39:04.140 And we've
00:39:04.540 seen it a
00:39:04.960 million times.
00:39:06.220 You give
00:39:06.920 me Trump
00:39:07.560 in the
00:39:08.220 middle of
00:39:08.840 ordinary
00:39:09.460 working
00:39:09.900 people and
00:39:11.620 you're just
00:39:12.420 going to
00:39:12.620 see magic.
00:39:14.060 It's like a
00:39:14.680 guaranteed
00:39:15.060 smarter thing
00:39:15.820 to do.
00:39:16.880 Now compare
00:39:17.280 that to a
00:39:17.900 Kamala
00:39:18.200 Harris'
00:39:18.740 plan.
00:39:20.080 Kamala
00:39:20.480 Harris,
00:39:20.980 as well as
00:39:21.500 Trump,
00:39:22.240 plans to
00:39:22.760 go on
00:39:23.100 Joe Rogan
00:39:23.660 show.
00:39:25.460 Okay,
00:39:25.740 which one
00:39:26.280 is a
00:39:26.720 better
00:39:26.940 campaign
00:39:27.480 idea?
00:39:28.860 Trump
00:39:29.200 goes to
00:39:29.680 McDonald's,
00:39:30.860 A++,
00:39:32.200 or Kamala
00:39:33.440 Harris goes
00:39:34.120 to Joe
00:39:34.580 Rogan?
00:39:35.020 Oh no.
00:39:38.980 Now it
00:39:40.100 feels like
00:39:40.660 a Hail
00:39:41.020 Mary pass
00:39:41.860 because how
00:39:43.040 in the
00:39:43.380 world is
00:39:43.920 that going
00:39:44.240 to work
00:39:44.540 out for
00:39:45.100 Kamala
00:39:45.440 Harris?
00:39:46.600 It's
00:39:47.160 almost as
00:39:47.660 if she
00:39:47.920 doesn't
00:39:48.220 have an
00:39:48.500 idea what
00:39:50.240 other people
00:39:51.000 say about
00:39:51.840 her or
00:39:52.260 think about
00:39:52.740 her,
00:39:53.360 maybe has
00:39:53.960 never seen
00:39:54.520 a Joe
00:39:54.900 Rogan
00:39:55.260 podcast.
00:39:56.900 Now others
00:39:57.980 have said
00:39:58.500 she'll be
00:39:59.360 fine because
00:40:00.020 Joe Rogan's
00:40:01.000 going to be
00:40:02.140 a gentle
00:40:02.940 interviewer.
00:40:05.720 Yes and
00:40:06.480 no.
00:40:08.000 Yes and
00:40:08.660 no.
00:40:09.580 He will be
00:40:10.320 gentle in
00:40:10.940 the sense
00:40:11.300 of being
00:40:11.640 polite and
00:40:13.260 he will be
00:40:13.760 gentle in
00:40:14.260 the sense
00:40:14.640 of not
00:40:15.080 being a
00:40:15.860 flaming
00:40:16.660 biased
00:40:17.360 right-wing
00:40:19.000 flamethrower
00:40:19.720 because he's
00:40:21.140 not.
00:40:21.900 That's not
00:40:22.320 who he
00:40:22.560 is.
00:40:23.560 But if
00:40:24.380 you give
00:40:24.800 me a
00:40:25.720 two-hour
00:40:26.260 conversation
00:40:27.020 with a
00:40:28.620 reasonable
00:40:29.080 person who
00:40:29.720 has reasonable
00:40:30.300 questions and
00:40:31.580 is willing to
00:40:32.300 press to get
00:40:33.460 an answer
00:40:33.880 and Kamala
00:40:35.260 Harris, I
00:40:36.680 think that
00:40:37.160 can only go
00:40:38.040 one way.
00:40:39.820 Really,
00:40:40.500 really bad.
00:40:43.340 So, you
00:40:44.260 know, here's
00:40:44.840 your microcosm
00:40:45.880 of the
00:40:46.220 entire
00:40:46.720 campaign.
00:40:48.540 Trump doing
00:40:49.300 the smartest
00:40:49.840 thing you'll
00:40:50.340 ever see in
00:40:50.780 a campaign and
00:40:51.740 Harris doing
00:40:52.340 something that
00:40:53.720 I think is
00:40:54.240 clearly a
00:40:54.960 mistake.
00:40:56.380 Clearly a
00:40:57.060 mistake.
00:40:57.760 When was
00:40:58.080 the last
00:40:58.340 time she
00:40:58.680 did an
00:40:58.980 interview and
00:41:00.040 people said,
00:41:00.620 oh, she
00:41:00.940 nailed it.
00:41:01.540 That'll
00:41:02.200 make her
00:41:02.740 numbers go
00:41:03.360 up.
00:41:04.080 She doesn't
00:41:04.620 have that
00:41:05.100 ability.
00:41:06.560 So, Trump
00:41:07.000 is going
00:41:07.420 into a
00:41:07.900 situation that
00:41:09.120 is perfectly
00:41:10.120 fit to
00:41:11.120 his talents.
00:41:13.180 Harris will
00:41:13.720 go into a
00:41:14.340 situation which
00:41:15.180 is a
00:41:15.560 disaster area
00:41:16.700 for her
00:41:17.660 specific talents.
00:41:18.680 And she
00:41:18.900 has talents
00:41:19.420 too.
00:41:20.140 I'm not
00:41:20.500 saying she's
00:41:20.960 untalented.
00:41:22.180 Just not
00:41:22.820 that.
00:41:23.960 Definitely
00:41:24.400 not that
00:41:24.840 thing.
00:41:25.380 She gives
00:41:25.720 good speeches.
00:41:27.120 So, do
00:41:27.420 more of that
00:41:27.960 if I'm
00:41:29.200 an advisor.
00:41:29.620 All right,
00:41:32.820 what else?
00:41:35.180 Harris went
00:41:35.780 on Charlemagne
00:41:36.740 the God.
00:41:39.040 And
00:41:39.360 Charlemagne
00:41:41.140 gave her a
00:41:42.480 little pushback.
00:41:43.980 Said, doesn't
00:41:44.720 the Biden
00:41:45.060 administration have
00:41:45.880 to take some
00:41:46.360 blame for the
00:41:47.160 border?
00:41:48.280 Though a lot
00:41:49.180 of the blame?
00:41:50.640 Good for him.
00:41:51.620 He didn't just
00:41:52.280 say a blame.
00:41:52.860 He said a lot
00:41:53.340 of the blame.
00:41:53.780 The first three
00:41:54.360 years you did
00:41:54.980 a lot of
00:41:55.780 things wrong.
00:41:57.820 Kamala Harris'
00:41:58.240 answer was,
00:41:59.560 don't you
00:42:00.740 understand that
00:42:01.440 as soon as
00:42:02.140 we got in
00:42:02.640 there, we
00:42:03.780 proposed this
00:42:04.620 border bill?
00:42:08.560 And
00:42:09.040 then I
00:42:11.280 guess she
00:42:11.580 got away
00:42:11.960 with that.
00:42:13.340 Now, here's
00:42:13.940 a problem
00:42:14.360 with somebody
00:42:14.920 like Charlemagne
00:42:15.820 the God
00:42:16.420 having access
00:42:17.860 to the top
00:42:18.720 political figures.
00:42:20.360 I take it
00:42:21.380 from the
00:42:22.000 exchange that
00:42:23.100 Charlemagne
00:42:23.580 doesn't know
00:42:24.240 that that
00:42:24.700 proposed border
00:42:25.500 bill was a
00:42:26.140 fraud.
00:42:26.520 So, anybody
00:42:29.100 listening to
00:42:29.800 it just
00:42:30.360 heard, you
00:42:31.080 know, one
00:42:31.340 of the
00:42:31.560 strongest
00:42:31.920 accusations
00:42:32.620 against her,
00:42:33.540 which was
00:42:34.100 made exactly
00:42:35.060 right by
00:42:36.200 Charlemagne.
00:42:37.200 You've been
00:42:37.560 there three
00:42:37.960 years, everything
00:42:38.860 fell apart
00:42:39.440 under you.
00:42:40.640 Now, if
00:42:41.400 you heard
00:42:41.880 that, and
00:42:43.880 that's all
00:42:44.220 you heard,
00:42:44.720 you'd be
00:42:44.960 like, oh,
00:42:46.000 yeah, that's
00:42:46.680 terrible.
00:42:47.960 But if you
00:42:48.660 let her go
00:42:49.360 on and say,
00:42:50.120 oh, this
00:42:50.480 border bill,
00:42:51.440 it was only
00:42:51.920 the Republicans
00:42:52.540 who said
00:42:53.060 no, and
00:42:54.320 you didn't
00:42:54.820 realize that it
00:42:55.480 was really a
00:42:56.040 mass amnesty
00:42:56.860 bill, and
00:42:57.980 that it
00:42:58.780 wouldn't have
00:42:59.080 fixed anything.
00:43:00.200 It just
00:43:00.880 would have
00:43:01.220 guaranteed that
00:43:02.440 a massive
00:43:02.880 amount of
00:43:03.340 people would
00:43:03.740 come in,
00:43:04.380 the opposite
00:43:04.960 of what
00:43:05.340 people want.
00:43:06.800 So, if
00:43:07.380 Charlemagne
00:43:07.980 didn't know,
00:43:09.660 and the
00:43:10.400 indication is
00:43:11.120 he didn't
00:43:11.440 know, that
00:43:12.900 her answer
00:43:13.660 was a
00:43:14.100 non-responsive
00:43:14.920 answer, because
00:43:15.740 it was a
00:43:16.080 bullshit bill
00:43:16.680 that nobody
00:43:17.120 was going
00:43:17.460 to pass,
00:43:19.020 he's done
00:43:19.800 a bad
00:43:20.680 service to
00:43:21.260 the country.
00:43:21.640 Now, does
00:43:25.200 the regular
00:43:25.720 news do a
00:43:26.580 good service
00:43:27.140 to the
00:43:27.440 country?
00:43:27.900 No, not
00:43:29.440 if it's
00:43:29.760 MSNBC.
00:43:31.180 I would
00:43:31.680 say that
00:43:32.080 CNN, again,
00:43:33.380 I'm going to
00:43:33.740 give them
00:43:34.040 credit,
00:43:34.720 lately, they
00:43:36.180 seem to be
00:43:36.780 showing both
00:43:37.400 sides of a
00:43:38.100 lot of
00:43:38.360 different topics,
00:43:39.460 and I just
00:43:40.680 have to give
00:43:41.140 them that.
00:43:42.420 There's still a
00:43:43.140 lot of bias,
00:43:44.260 but all the
00:43:45.380 networks have
00:43:45.880 some bias,
00:43:46.800 but at least
00:43:47.340 if you show
00:43:48.060 both sides,
00:43:48.820 that counts.
00:43:51.180 If you're
00:43:52.180 going to have
00:43:52.480 access, because
00:43:54.620 you're a
00:43:55.320 celebrity and
00:43:55.940 you've got a
00:43:56.320 lot of
00:43:56.540 pull, if
00:43:56.940 you have
00:43:57.160 access to
00:43:57.840 the top
00:43:58.740 politicians and
00:44:00.320 you didn't
00:44:00.780 know that the
00:44:01.320 border bill was
00:44:02.080 a fraud, you
00:44:03.960 are doing a
00:44:04.660 disservice to
00:44:05.380 the country.
00:44:06.640 Because I
00:44:07.240 don't even
00:44:07.580 think Charlemagne
00:44:08.320 will get what
00:44:08.800 he wants.
00:44:10.200 Because Charlemagne
00:44:10.980 wants the
00:44:11.640 border to be
00:44:12.320 secured, as
00:44:13.320 do I, as
00:44:14.540 do you.
00:44:15.740 And the
00:44:16.820 person who is
00:44:17.620 least likely to
00:44:18.580 do it just
00:44:19.660 got away with
00:44:20.340 a massive,
00:44:21.320 massive lie,
00:44:23.120 effectively a
00:44:24.580 lie, and he
00:44:26.000 couldn't catch
00:44:26.480 it.
00:44:27.500 That is a
00:44:28.240 really dangerous
00:44:28.900 situation.
00:44:30.480 So I do
00:44:32.160 like the
00:44:33.360 public figures
00:44:34.360 who are just
00:44:34.860 public personalities
00:44:35.940 like Charlemagne.
00:44:37.000 I do like them
00:44:37.880 talking to the
00:44:38.480 politicians, because
00:44:39.340 you get a
00:44:39.760 different look.
00:44:41.560 But man, you
00:44:42.240 got to be
00:44:42.580 careful if you
00:44:43.260 get into the
00:44:43.780 policy that
00:44:44.500 deeply.
00:44:45.980 Maybe it's
00:44:47.020 better if you're
00:44:47.760 going to talk to
00:44:48.260 a celebrity, or
00:44:50.200 somebody who's
00:44:50.880 not that deeply
00:44:52.080 into the news.
00:44:53.500 If you're going
00:44:54.120 to talk to
00:44:54.480 Jimmy Kimmel or
00:44:55.280 something, you
00:44:56.980 can talk about
00:44:57.560 your favorite
00:44:58.000 food.
00:44:59.160 I'm okay with
00:44:59.980 that.
00:45:00.580 What's your
00:45:01.140 favorite band?
00:45:02.600 Fine.
00:45:03.200 Fine.
00:45:03.760 As long as we
00:45:04.460 know this is for
00:45:05.080 entertainment and
00:45:05.820 just a different
00:45:07.000 look at the
00:45:07.560 personality, that's
00:45:08.400 fine.
00:45:10.300 Anyway, and
00:45:13.160 then they
00:45:13.600 agreed, Charlemagne
00:45:14.820 and Harris
00:45:16.000 that Trump
00:45:16.980 was a
00:45:17.460 fascist.
00:45:19.980 I would
00:45:20.620 like Brett
00:45:21.160 Baer, when
00:45:22.780 he talks to
00:45:23.940 Kamala Harris,
00:45:24.680 because that's
00:45:25.060 agreed to, that's
00:45:25.900 going to happen,
00:45:26.780 I'd like to ask
00:45:27.860 him to explain
00:45:28.740 the definition of
00:45:30.420 a fascist, and
00:45:32.160 then to explain
00:45:33.140 why Trump
00:45:34.080 fits that
00:45:35.020 definition, but
00:45:36.880 without using
00:45:38.020 any hoaxes.
00:45:40.100 So when she
00:45:40.900 says, well, he
00:45:41.800 said he's going to
00:45:42.460 be a dictator
00:45:43.340 for, well, no,
00:45:44.500 that's, that was
00:45:45.800 just hyperbole, he
00:45:47.240 just said one
00:45:47.860 day, that's not
00:45:49.300 anything to do
00:45:49.960 with fascism.
00:45:51.020 Well, but he
00:45:51.700 also said he's
00:45:52.720 going to use the
00:45:53.280 military to take
00:45:54.240 down his, his
00:45:55.800 enemies.
00:45:56.780 Well, no, no,
00:45:58.360 that's actually a
00:45:59.280 hoax.
00:46:00.160 Here's what really
00:46:01.100 happened.
00:46:02.200 But he said the
00:46:03.480 fine people, well,
00:46:04.740 no, no, that's
00:46:06.200 a hoax.
00:46:07.700 But he said he,
00:46:08.840 well, no, that's
00:46:11.020 a hoax.
00:46:12.460 So if he could
00:46:13.420 do that, that
00:46:13.960 would be a
00:46:14.260 great service.
00:46:15.140 But, you
00:46:16.280 know, this
00:46:17.500 whole he's a
00:46:18.200 fascist thing, oh
00:46:20.000 my God, nobody
00:46:21.460 even knows what
00:46:22.020 that word means.
00:46:22.880 It's still the
00:46:23.960 leading word in
00:46:24.820 politics.
00:46:27.200 Some people
00:46:27.900 know what it,
00:46:28.560 some people do
00:46:29.580 know what it
00:46:30.080 means, but they
00:46:30.880 still pretend they
00:46:31.900 don't when they
00:46:32.420 use it.
00:46:33.300 When I found
00:46:33.860 out my friend
00:46:34.500 got a great deal
00:46:35.460 on a wool coat
00:46:36.220 from Winners, I
00:46:37.360 started wondering,
00:46:38.720 is every fabulous
00:46:40.060 item I see from
00:46:41.020 Winners?
00:46:41.440 Like that woman
00:46:42.640 over there with
00:46:43.300 the designer jeans.
00:46:44.600 Are those from
00:46:45.400 Winners?
00:46:46.080 Ooh, or those
00:46:47.060 beautiful gold
00:46:47.680 earrings?
00:46:48.560 Did she pay full
00:46:49.140 price?
00:46:49.880 Or that leather
00:46:50.360 tote?
00:46:50.920 Or that cashmere
00:46:51.520 sweater?
00:46:52.100 Or those knee-high
00:46:52.760 boots?
00:46:53.580 That dress?
00:46:54.360 That jacket?
00:46:55.040 Those shoes?
00:46:56.060 Is anyone paying
00:46:57.260 full price for
00:46:58.040 anything?
00:46:59.020 Stop wondering.
00:47:00.300 Start winning.
00:47:01.220 Winners.
00:47:01.820 Find fabulous for
00:47:02.840 less.
00:47:04.020 Anyway, there's a
00:47:05.840 study by Dylan
00:47:07.180 Burroughs, RSBN,
00:47:09.820 is writing about
00:47:10.660 this, that RFK
00:47:12.420 junior voters are
00:47:13.500 mostly, not
00:47:14.820 mostly, but they're
00:47:17.220 moving toward
00:47:17.680 Trump.
00:47:19.420 Or to say it
00:47:20.360 better, there's a
00:47:22.120 strong bias toward
00:47:24.540 the, if they're
00:47:25.100 going to move to
00:47:25.580 one of the
00:47:25.900 candidates, more
00:47:26.880 of them are moving
00:47:27.500 to Trump.
00:47:28.640 And it could be a
00:47:29.620 big deal.
00:47:30.860 Could be a big
00:47:31.440 deal.
00:47:32.200 I think a lot of
00:47:32.940 people were parking
00:47:34.080 their vote with RFK
00:47:35.780 juniors so that they
00:47:36.740 could stay in the
00:47:37.500 conversations.
00:47:39.300 Do you know that?
00:47:39.780 Do you know anybody
00:47:40.380 who did that?
00:47:41.700 So for months and
00:47:42.800 months, it wasn't
00:47:44.500 that important what
00:47:46.880 your opinion was
00:47:47.700 because you weren't
00:47:48.300 that close to the
00:47:49.080 election.
00:47:50.120 So a lot of people
00:47:50.920 in the YouTube
00:47:54.600 comments, the all
00:47:56.140 caps lucky gal is
00:47:57.560 yelling, you got it
00:47:58.360 wrong, without any
00:47:59.920 indication of what it
00:48:01.060 is.
00:48:02.420 So we've got the all
00:48:03.660 caps drunken
00:48:04.780 morning users.
00:48:06.380 You got it all
00:48:07.420 wrong.
00:48:08.980 Whatever it was, we
00:48:10.220 don't even know what
00:48:10.940 the topic was.
00:48:12.240 You got it all
00:48:12.940 wrong.
00:48:15.580 So let's get more
00:48:17.720 drunken all capital
00:48:19.460 screaming in the
00:48:20.360 comments.
00:48:21.720 So let's put your
00:48:22.540 stupidity at full
00:48:24.440 force.
00:48:25.600 Bring it on.
00:48:27.940 Anyway.
00:48:29.960 Speaking of CNN,
00:48:31.440 they did a critical
00:48:33.360 look at Kamala
00:48:34.900 Harris's record as a
00:48:36.520 prosecutor.
00:48:38.660 Now, just what I
00:48:39.660 said.
00:48:40.840 So CNN, again, I'm
00:48:42.740 going to give you
00:48:43.240 credit.
00:48:44.060 You showed the
00:48:45.360 negative side of a
00:48:46.540 candidate and they
00:48:48.300 weren't too impressed
00:48:49.100 and talked about some
00:48:51.360 controversial things
00:48:52.480 that she did that I'm
00:48:53.600 not too interested in.
00:48:54.820 I'm not going to
00:48:55.360 discuss them.
00:48:56.300 But I will say that
00:48:57.160 CNN gave her sort of
00:48:59.700 a checkered mark for
00:49:02.420 prosecutor work.
00:49:04.640 And I don't think
00:49:06.100 they had to.
00:49:07.540 Did they?
00:49:08.860 Was there anything
00:49:09.720 really pressing CNN
00:49:11.120 to, I won't call it a
00:49:14.220 hit piece, but it was a
00:49:15.200 negative piece on
00:49:16.040 Harris.
00:49:17.620 Have you ever seen
00:49:18.520 MSNBC run any package
00:49:21.580 that was negative to the
00:49:23.500 Democrat?
00:49:24.660 I don't think I've ever
00:49:25.740 seen it.
00:49:26.320 Not even once.
00:49:27.720 But CNN did.
00:49:29.520 CNN did.
00:49:30.100 And I'm not sure Fox
00:49:31.900 has ever done a negative
00:49:32.880 on Trump.
00:49:34.860 Although there are lots
00:49:35.980 of Fox personalities
00:49:37.260 who have criticized him
00:49:38.340 on individual things.
00:49:39.520 That's true.
00:49:40.980 So I will give them
00:49:42.060 that.
00:49:44.380 Anyway, that's good.
00:49:48.160 CNN's Harry Enten, who
00:49:49.740 also is doing a great
00:49:51.480 job as a explainer of
00:49:53.940 polls.
00:49:54.520 He seems completely
00:49:55.760 unbiased in his
00:49:56.760 presentation, which is
00:49:57.720 impressive, actually.
00:49:58.520 He says that Trump
00:50:00.600 is leading Harris by
00:50:01.600 17 percent with
00:50:02.960 Hispanic men under
00:50:04.220 45.
00:50:08.180 Click.
00:50:10.940 Tumblr's falling into
00:50:12.120 place.
00:50:15.240 And he might be the
00:50:17.400 best president and, I
00:50:19.340 don't know, since Nixon
00:50:20.120 or something with black
00:50:21.100 voters as a Republican
00:50:22.840 candidate.
00:50:24.580 So it's all clicking in
00:50:26.080 now.
00:50:26.820 But of course, there's a
00:50:28.060 new poll, the Marist
00:50:29.280 poll, inexplicably, or
00:50:33.580 is it, showing that
00:50:34.960 Harris is up five in
00:50:36.500 the national poll, of
00:50:38.940 five points over Trump.
00:50:40.800 Do you believe that?
00:50:41.780 The last poll showed
00:50:43.320 Harris was up two.
00:50:45.020 So this would suggest
00:50:46.220 that Harris is not only
00:50:48.080 doing better lately,
00:50:49.440 according to this one
00:50:50.320 poll, but a lot better.
00:50:52.640 Is that what you're
00:50:53.560 seeing?
00:50:53.800 Now, the Marist
00:50:56.160 poll, some say, is a
00:50:58.000 very credible poll.
00:51:00.240 Some say.
00:51:02.000 So in, let's see how
00:51:03.660 credible they were in
00:51:04.680 2016.
00:51:06.140 So at the end of
00:51:07.780 September, so that
00:51:10.260 would be three weeks
00:51:12.100 difference.
00:51:13.640 Three weeks difference.
00:51:15.200 They had Clinton
00:51:16.040 leading Trump by seven
00:51:18.000 points nationally.
00:51:18.940 What was the final?
00:51:22.700 The final was maybe
00:51:23.720 three?
00:51:25.460 Does anybody remember
00:51:26.420 Clinton did win the
00:51:27.980 national vote, the
00:51:30.040 popular vote?
00:51:31.480 Did she win it by
00:51:32.480 three?
00:51:34.840 Anyway, the point is,
00:51:37.020 don't believe any
00:51:38.160 pollsters.
00:51:38.640 Marist, and I
00:51:41.160 believe that Marist
00:51:43.960 was trued up by
00:51:45.520 the end so that
00:51:47.380 their final number
00:51:49.160 before the election
00:51:49.980 was actually pretty
00:51:50.800 close to the actual
00:51:51.640 election, but their
00:51:53.840 number just weeks
00:51:55.420 before the election
00:51:56.260 wasn't very close.
00:51:58.280 Now, have I told you
00:51:59.200 a million times that
00:52:00.800 in October is where
00:52:02.440 everybody who wasn't
00:52:03.420 close is, you know,
00:52:05.140 it looks like maybe
00:52:06.060 they're taking one
00:52:06.700 last shot, but if you
00:52:08.580 think that by
00:52:09.740 election day, Marist
00:52:10.940 is going to have a
00:52:11.600 poll that has Harris
00:52:12.620 up by five, I'm
00:52:14.840 telling you, you
00:52:15.600 don't understand how
00:52:16.580 things work.
00:52:18.700 On election day,
00:52:21.000 Marist is not going
00:52:22.100 to have a poll that
00:52:22.800 says Harris is up
00:52:24.080 by five.
00:52:26.080 That's not going to
00:52:26.960 happen.
00:52:28.600 So, surprise me,
00:52:30.080 make me wrong,
00:52:31.160 we'll see.
00:52:33.180 All right, the
00:52:33.720 Biden-Harris
00:52:34.380 Department of
00:52:35.100 Justice is suing
00:52:36.120 a bunch of first
00:52:37.700 responder groups in
00:52:39.220 four states,
00:52:41.020 Maryland,
00:52:42.140 Indiana, North
00:52:43.580 Carolina, Georgia,
00:52:44.860 as for discriminating
00:52:46.420 in the tests to
00:52:48.340 become a first
00:52:49.060 responder.
00:52:50.320 So, they say that
00:52:51.420 the basic math skills
00:52:53.480 are discriminatory
00:52:54.740 because it
00:52:55.440 discriminates against
00:52:56.520 black candidates,
00:52:58.140 and the fitness
00:53:00.060 test discriminates
00:53:01.540 against female
00:53:02.560 applicants.
00:53:03.340 so, very
00:53:05.640 unfair.
00:53:07.280 Did we lose all
00:53:08.020 the comments from
00:53:09.040 locals?
00:53:10.280 Let me reboot
00:53:10.960 that.
00:53:12.280 I lost it on my
00:53:13.300 end, so you may
00:53:13.980 have lost it on
00:53:14.700 your end as well.
00:53:17.100 Let's see.
00:53:19.900 Can we make that
00:53:20.840 work?
00:53:23.780 Today's the
00:53:24.300 16th.
00:53:26.300 There's something
00:53:27.440 different happening
00:53:28.300 here.
00:53:30.580 All right.
00:53:31.500 There we go.
00:53:32.420 Comments are back.
00:53:33.340 If you're not
00:53:35.040 getting comments
00:53:35.820 on the locals
00:53:37.380 app, just
00:53:37.900 reboot.
00:53:40.560 Anyway, so
00:53:42.000 that's happening,
00:53:43.720 and apparently
00:53:44.320 cash awards were
00:53:45.480 paid to the
00:53:46.060 black employees
00:53:46.760 who failed the
00:53:47.600 written test.
00:53:50.800 That's the
00:53:51.520 punchline.
00:53:53.160 So, there were
00:53:53.700 black candidates
00:53:54.680 who took the
00:53:55.780 written test and
00:53:56.560 failed, and they
00:53:58.740 just got paid for
00:53:59.640 failing the test.
00:54:00.480 Okay.
00:54:04.200 So, what are we
00:54:08.800 doing?
00:54:10.340 What kind of
00:54:12.480 world are we
00:54:12.980 living in?
00:54:14.620 We're just giving
00:54:15.640 people a big cash
00:54:16.540 payment for failing
00:54:17.440 a test.
00:54:18.740 Anyway.
00:54:19.140 Trump went on a
00:54:26.380 Bloomberg event
00:54:27.580 where he talked
00:54:28.380 in front of some
00:54:29.100 big group and
00:54:29.800 got interviewed
00:54:30.280 on stage, and
00:54:31.860 the Bloomberg
00:54:32.500 editor blasted
00:54:33.960 Kamala Harris
00:54:34.600 before he began
00:54:35.480 for not accepting
00:54:36.900 their invitation.
00:54:38.280 Now, keep in
00:54:38.800 mind, these big
00:54:39.920 media groups are
00:54:40.940 these legacy
00:54:41.680 dying dinosaur
00:54:42.680 groups.
00:54:43.100 They need to
00:54:44.240 fight to be
00:54:46.100 seen as the
00:54:46.720 place a top
00:54:47.720 candidate must
00:54:48.680 go to before
00:54:50.360 you run for
00:54:50.960 president.
00:54:51.820 I think the
00:54:52.760 larger story here
00:54:53.760 is that the
00:54:54.380 big legacy
00:54:55.200 press is not
00:54:57.480 important.
00:54:58.820 So, when you
00:54:59.560 tell me that
00:55:00.080 somebody didn't
00:55:00.800 talk to Time
00:55:01.520 magazine 20
00:55:02.540 years ago, I
00:55:04.080 would say, well,
00:55:04.700 that's a huge
00:55:05.320 mistake.
00:55:06.100 You got to
00:55:06.600 talk to Time
00:55:07.180 magazine.
00:55:07.660 But in 2024,
00:55:10.500 does it really
00:55:12.040 matter if you
00:55:12.600 talk to Time
00:55:13.120 magazine?
00:55:13.980 In 2024, does
00:55:15.240 it matter if
00:55:16.800 you talk to
00:55:17.600 Newsweek?
00:55:18.940 No.
00:55:20.260 Does it matter
00:55:21.340 if you talk to
00:55:22.160 Bloomberg?
00:55:24.340 Not really.
00:55:26.120 Not really.
00:55:28.380 So, but Trump
00:55:29.520 did, which makes
00:55:30.660 him look good,
00:55:31.480 and then
00:55:31.980 Bloomberg, you
00:55:33.580 know, blasted
00:55:34.340 Harris for not
00:55:35.000 doing it.
00:55:35.720 But it's really
00:55:36.420 not about
00:55:36.860 Harris.
00:55:37.660 If you ask
00:55:39.440 me, Harris is
00:55:40.360 smart to skip
00:55:41.200 this event,
00:55:42.020 because it
00:55:43.340 wouldn't be one
00:55:43.860 that she would
00:55:44.300 excel at, so
00:55:45.400 why do it?
00:55:46.680 But it would be
00:55:47.440 good for
00:55:47.800 Bloomberg, because
00:55:49.020 then they could
00:55:49.420 say, we're
00:55:49.880 important, and
00:55:50.580 we can get the
00:55:51.140 big stuff, and
00:55:51.940 look at all
00:55:52.600 our clicks.
00:55:54.360 So, just
00:55:55.200 think about
00:55:55.600 that.
00:55:55.880 That was more
00:55:56.320 about Bloomberg
00:55:56.940 talking about
00:55:57.660 Bloomberg and
00:55:58.780 trying to
00:55:59.480 survive as a
00:56:00.840 dinosaur media.
00:56:03.960 But Trump
00:56:04.620 did well in
00:56:05.840 that eclipse I
00:56:06.600 saw.
00:56:07.660 Mark
00:56:10.840 Halperin,
00:56:11.900 veteran, smart
00:56:14.240 political, what
00:56:16.600 would you call
00:56:17.000 it, analyst, I'm
00:56:18.800 not sure, advisor,
00:56:20.300 I'm not sure he
00:56:20.880 has many hats.
00:56:22.020 But anyway, he
00:56:22.440 was on Tucker
00:56:23.580 Carlson, and he
00:56:25.780 says, he predicts
00:56:28.580 that if Trump
00:56:29.200 wins, it will be
00:56:30.000 the psychological
00:56:31.620 collapse in the
00:56:33.260 Democratic Party
00:56:34.120 will be the
00:56:35.160 greatest mental
00:56:35.900 health crisis in
00:56:37.080 the history of
00:56:37.700 the country, and
00:56:39.060 that it will be
00:56:39.840 massive therapy and
00:56:42.260 acting out, etc.
00:56:46.800 Again, you could
00:56:49.540 have just asked
00:56:50.780 anybody, obviously.
00:56:55.120 We saw what
00:56:56.120 happened in 2016.
00:56:57.080 Do you think
00:56:57.980 less of that's
00:56:58.780 going to happen
00:56:59.220 this time?
00:57:00.640 No.
00:57:01.140 It will be a
00:57:02.540 massive, massive
00:57:04.180 mental health
00:57:05.180 problem.
00:57:06.000 And it will be the
00:57:06.960 people who don't
00:57:07.580 understand where
00:57:08.800 they are or what's
00:57:09.540 happening.
00:57:11.060 Now, one of my
00:57:12.000 best predictions of
00:57:12.960 all time, maybe
00:57:14.880 the best, was that
00:57:16.280 when Trump entered
00:57:17.780 the race in
00:57:18.660 2015, just think
00:57:21.500 about when this
00:57:22.200 was said.
00:57:22.720 I said that
00:57:24.820 Trump, as a
00:57:25.780 master persuader,
00:57:26.820 as I called
00:57:27.280 him, would
00:57:28.100 change more than
00:57:29.040 politics.
00:57:30.620 I said he would
00:57:31.640 change how we
00:57:32.500 even saw reality
00:57:33.680 itself.
00:57:36.120 Anybody want to
00:57:37.540 tell me that that
00:57:38.220 was accurate?
00:57:39.620 Did Trump change
00:57:41.060 how you saw
00:57:41.640 reality itself?
00:57:44.600 Yes.
00:57:45.840 And that's the
00:57:46.520 reason that there
00:57:47.220 would be a
00:57:47.920 massive mental
00:57:48.720 health crisis if
00:57:50.140 he wins.
00:57:51.100 Because the
00:57:52.180 reality is so
00:57:55.620 uneven, like
00:57:58.680 we're not even
00:57:59.180 living in the
00:57:59.720 same planet
00:58:00.240 anymore.
00:58:01.540 And that's
00:58:02.180 new.
00:58:03.080 That happened
00:58:03.960 since Trump
00:58:04.800 came on board.
00:58:05.780 Yes.
00:58:07.600 Halperin is
00:58:08.120 completely correct
00:58:09.240 here.
00:58:11.280 Halperin also
00:58:12.080 had the story of
00:58:12.780 how Nancy Pelosi
00:58:13.720 allegedly got
00:58:16.240 Biden out of
00:58:16.900 the race.
00:58:18.080 So it was a
00:58:19.040 combination of
00:58:19.800 threatening to
00:58:20.820 cut off all the
00:58:21.800 fundraisers because
00:58:23.220 she could simply
00:58:23.900 talk to the
00:58:24.480 fundraisers and
00:58:25.260 say, don't give
00:58:25.860 him any more
00:58:26.300 money.
00:58:27.000 And he wouldn't
00:58:27.500 really be able to
00:58:28.100 run a race without
00:58:29.140 the big checks.
00:58:30.720 And then said
00:58:31.700 that she'd
00:58:33.980 basically make
00:58:35.400 sure people didn't
00:58:36.160 endorse him so he
00:58:37.640 wouldn't get the
00:58:38.140 big endorsements that
00:58:39.160 you kind of depend
00:58:39.860 on.
00:58:40.240 That would be a
00:58:40.680 bad look.
00:58:41.180 but if he left
00:58:42.960 that they would
00:58:43.780 celebrate his
00:58:44.760 successes and
00:58:45.920 call him George
00:58:46.560 Washington and
00:58:47.860 make him a
00:58:48.360 superstar in
00:58:49.060 history.
00:58:50.400 So that
00:58:52.440 makes sense.
00:58:54.120 I mean, I
00:58:54.500 don't know if
00:58:54.940 that's 100%
00:58:55.740 true because,
00:58:56.620 you know, it's
00:58:56.940 people talking to
00:58:57.760 people talking to
00:58:58.460 people, but it
00:59:00.760 sure fits.
00:59:02.140 I mean, if it's
00:59:03.100 not exactly true,
00:59:04.520 it feels like
00:59:05.800 it's probably
00:59:07.040 mostly true.
00:59:07.780 Anyway, so
00:59:10.700 let's do the
00:59:11.820 list of things
00:59:12.560 that Kamala
00:59:13.120 Harris thinks
00:59:13.780 that black men
00:59:14.600 are unable to
00:59:15.520 do.
00:59:16.740 Kamala Harris
00:59:17.480 thinks that black
00:59:18.100 men can't figure
00:59:18.960 out how to get
00:59:19.520 an ID.
00:59:22.300 She thinks they
00:59:23.240 don't understand
00:59:23.920 the news about
00:59:24.740 Trump being a
00:59:25.520 fascist, so they
00:59:26.260 got to tell
00:59:26.660 him.
00:59:28.660 She must think
00:59:30.880 that they don't
00:59:31.440 have priorities
00:59:32.240 straight because
00:59:33.560 most people think
00:59:34.780 the economy is the
00:59:35.660 big priority and
00:59:37.480 Trump's the
00:59:38.240 obvious choice
00:59:38.820 there.
00:59:40.360 She says they
00:59:41.840 need help with
00:59:42.500 crypto, but
00:59:44.140 only black people,
00:59:45.780 only black men
00:59:46.740 actually.
00:59:47.520 So only black
00:59:48.340 men need help
00:59:49.920 with crypto.
00:59:51.440 That's pretty
00:59:52.300 condescending.
00:59:53.780 And by the way,
00:59:55.240 if you spend
00:59:56.180 one minute in
00:59:57.060 crypto, you
00:59:58.500 know that that's
00:59:59.140 not true.
01:00:01.200 Crypto is one
01:00:02.100 of the most
01:00:02.740 open, available
01:00:04.980 to everybody
01:00:05.780 thing you've
01:00:07.460 ever seen in
01:00:07.960 your life.
01:00:09.600 Do you know
01:00:10.220 anybody who's
01:00:11.100 black, who
01:00:11.720 wants to get
01:00:12.200 into crypto,
01:00:13.040 who can't
01:00:13.400 figure out how
01:00:13.900 to do it,
01:00:14.480 doesn't know
01:00:14.900 who to ask?
01:00:17.280 Blacks are
01:00:17.780 doing fine.
01:00:19.420 I mean, that's
01:00:19.880 just, you know,
01:00:20.740 anecdotally, my
01:00:22.700 observation is
01:00:23.520 it's a very
01:00:24.980 egalitarian
01:00:26.320 domain.
01:00:27.720 But Kamala
01:00:29.900 Harris doesn't
01:00:30.560 think so.
01:00:31.800 And she
01:00:32.240 thinks that
01:00:32.920 black men need
01:00:34.000 affirmative action
01:00:35.320 to get jobs
01:00:36.260 to compete.
01:00:37.600 So if I were
01:00:38.880 a black man, I
01:00:39.800 would just hate
01:00:40.480 this bitch.
01:00:41.660 Because she's
01:00:42.500 just all about
01:00:43.280 you guys can't
01:00:44.540 get ahead.
01:00:45.500 You know, why
01:00:45.840 can't you get
01:00:46.380 an ID?
01:00:47.120 Why don't you
01:00:47.620 understand crypto?
01:00:49.200 Why can't you
01:00:49.740 get a job like
01:00:50.460 everybody else?
01:00:51.320 I mean, this
01:00:52.700 is seriously,
01:00:53.900 seriously racist.
01:00:56.300 It's just
01:00:58.180 racist.
01:00:59.600 How about you
01:01:00.440 treat everybody
01:01:01.040 as an individual?
01:01:02.900 And then there
01:01:03.720 will be black
01:01:04.840 individuals who
01:01:05.760 do great in
01:01:07.500 all domains.
01:01:08.680 And there will
01:01:09.340 be white
01:01:09.840 individuals who
01:01:10.680 do great
01:01:11.220 sometimes and
01:01:11.960 don't do great
01:01:12.500 other times.
01:01:13.480 How about we
01:01:13.920 just treat them
01:01:14.360 like people?
01:01:15.580 How about that?
01:01:16.780 How about everybody
01:01:17.520 who needs help
01:01:18.120 with crypto gets
01:01:18.940 it?
01:01:19.880 How about that?
01:01:21.760 Claudia was
01:01:22.560 leaving for her
01:01:23.180 pickleball tournament.
01:01:24.140 I've been
01:01:24.360 visualizing my
01:01:25.160 match all week.
01:01:26.700 She was so
01:01:27.220 focused on
01:01:27.720 visualizing that
01:01:28.600 she didn't see
01:01:29.200 the column behind
01:01:29.860 her car on her
01:01:30.760 backhand side.
01:01:32.660 Good thing
01:01:33.320 Claudia is with
01:01:33.940 Intact, the
01:01:34.760 insurer with the
01:01:35.540 largest network of
01:01:36.420 auto service centers
01:01:37.220 in the country.
01:01:38.340 Everything was
01:01:38.880 taken care of under
01:01:39.680 one roof and she
01:01:40.620 was on her way in
01:01:41.280 a rental car in
01:01:42.160 no time.
01:01:42.800 I made it to my
01:01:43.720 tournament and
01:01:45.000 lost in the first
01:01:45.620 round.
01:01:46.260 But you got there
01:01:47.280 on time.
01:01:48.100 Intact Insurance,
01:01:49.260 your auto service
01:01:50.040 ace.
01:01:50.720 Certain conditions
01:01:51.280 apply.
01:01:51.640 I'd like to
01:01:54.420 spend a part of
01:01:55.340 today by
01:01:56.040 tradition
01:01:56.560 misunderstanding
01:01:58.020 tariffs.
01:01:59.520 Would anybody
01:02:00.200 like to join me
01:02:01.000 in misunderstanding
01:02:01.920 tariffs?
01:02:02.680 So let me explain
01:02:05.800 what I think is
01:02:06.680 true.
01:02:07.960 And then since
01:02:09.140 we all disagree
01:02:10.380 about everything,
01:02:11.640 you'll tell me how
01:02:12.420 I got it all
01:02:12.960 wrong.
01:02:14.880 Here's what I think
01:02:15.700 is true.
01:02:16.040 I posted this
01:02:16.940 today.
01:02:18.580 I said, let's
01:02:19.440 pretend Republicans
01:02:20.400 and Democrats
01:02:21.160 disagree on when
01:02:22.980 to use tariffs.
01:02:24.640 So we have to
01:02:25.500 pretend they
01:02:26.040 disagree.
01:02:26.960 That's the first
01:02:27.800 part of the
01:02:28.200 conversation.
01:02:29.260 If you don't
01:02:30.340 know that Democrats
01:02:31.200 and Republicans
01:02:31.880 completely agree,
01:02:33.780 including Trump,
01:02:35.240 they're all on the
01:02:35.960 same page.
01:02:36.900 If you don't
01:02:37.660 know that, then
01:02:38.400 you can't do the
01:02:39.040 pretend conversation
01:02:40.600 where you pretend
01:02:41.340 that there's a
01:02:42.360 difference.
01:02:43.140 So the spoiler
01:02:44.140 is there's no
01:02:45.140 disagreement.
01:02:46.040 There is no
01:02:48.080 disagreement between
01:02:49.140 Democrats and
01:02:49.940 Republicans on
01:02:51.260 when you should
01:02:52.720 use a tariff and
01:02:53.960 when you should
01:02:54.420 not.
01:02:55.640 There never has
01:02:56.340 been, and maybe
01:02:57.840 there never will
01:02:58.460 be.
01:03:00.360 But we're going
01:03:01.900 to pretend there
01:03:02.540 is, because I
01:03:03.840 guess that's what
01:03:04.380 we do.
01:03:04.960 I guess we pretend
01:03:05.780 there is a
01:03:06.240 disagreement.
01:03:07.940 So question
01:03:09.840 number one, does
01:03:11.160 Trump treat
01:03:12.920 tariffs as if
01:03:13.940 they're an income
01:03:14.880 stream for
01:03:15.500 America, as
01:03:16.720 if the other
01:03:18.000 country is
01:03:19.460 paying a check
01:03:20.120 to America and
01:03:20.980 we're making
01:03:21.380 money?
01:03:21.800 Does Trump
01:03:22.560 describe tariffs
01:03:24.640 as making
01:03:26.620 money for
01:03:27.180 America that's
01:03:28.880 coming from
01:03:29.440 other countries?
01:03:30.240 Does he do
01:03:30.720 that?
01:03:31.760 Because that
01:03:32.400 would be
01:03:32.720 incorrect,
01:03:33.340 right?
01:03:33.900 Because the
01:03:34.720 entity that
01:03:35.880 pays the
01:03:36.400 tariff is the
01:03:37.120 American company
01:03:38.000 that was trying
01:03:38.980 to, or the
01:03:40.580 American consumer.
01:03:41.780 But it would be
01:03:42.220 Americans who are
01:03:42.920 paying.
01:03:43.720 I guess it would
01:03:44.200 be the American
01:03:44.640 company.
01:03:45.880 And then that
01:03:46.740 would be passed
01:03:47.580 along.
01:03:49.300 But he does say
01:03:50.320 that, right?
01:03:51.640 I watched him
01:03:52.760 yesterday at the
01:03:53.380 Bloomberg thing,
01:03:54.860 and separate from
01:03:58.080 what he thinks is
01:03:59.160 true, separate from
01:04:01.140 what he thinks is
01:04:01.920 true, he does
01:04:04.240 talk like he
01:04:05.060 believes that.
01:04:06.260 And people do
01:04:07.120 hear it like it's
01:04:08.300 free money.
01:04:08.840 Now, hold that
01:04:13.340 thought, I'm
01:04:14.080 going to circle
01:04:14.760 back to it.
01:04:15.900 Hold the
01:04:16.300 thought that
01:04:17.960 Trump acts
01:04:19.000 like it's free
01:04:19.960 money coming
01:04:20.520 from some
01:04:21.080 outside source.
01:04:22.800 And it's
01:04:23.520 not.
01:04:24.580 It's not.
01:04:26.700 It's America
01:04:27.660 paying America.
01:04:30.940 Now, here's the
01:04:31.800 next question.
01:04:33.060 Will Trump use
01:04:33.780 tariffs as a
01:04:34.640 threat to
01:04:36.000 negotiate better
01:04:37.100 trade terms?
01:04:37.820 Well, yes.
01:04:40.080 Yes, he will.
01:04:41.460 Trump will use
01:04:42.200 the threat of
01:04:42.820 tariffs to
01:04:44.440 negotiate better
01:04:45.440 terms.
01:04:47.420 Would Joe
01:04:48.560 Biden do that?
01:04:50.240 Well, he has
01:04:51.120 tariffs.
01:04:53.320 So, yes.
01:04:55.680 Yes, both
01:04:56.500 sides believe
01:04:57.440 that tariffs are
01:04:58.840 a negotiation
01:04:59.480 tool for
01:05:01.700 international trade.
01:05:03.040 How do I know
01:05:03.900 that?
01:05:04.280 Because both are
01:05:04.920 doing it.
01:05:06.000 They're both
01:05:06.800 doing it in a
01:05:07.480 very big
01:05:07.940 way.
01:05:09.140 So, there's
01:05:09.560 no question
01:05:10.080 about whether
01:05:10.580 they both
01:05:11.040 think it's
01:05:11.500 good for
01:05:11.820 negotiating.
01:05:12.820 They're both
01:05:13.420 doing it.
01:05:18.400 Next, do
01:05:20.680 you think
01:05:21.180 that because
01:05:22.960 Trump acts
01:05:23.760 like the
01:05:25.480 tariff is
01:05:26.120 just making
01:05:26.640 free money,
01:05:27.820 does that give
01:05:28.740 him an
01:05:29.120 advantage in
01:05:30.240 negotiating or
01:05:31.180 a disadvantage?
01:05:33.020 Is it a
01:05:33.880 disadvantage because
01:05:34.940 it's like not
01:05:35.820 understanding it
01:05:36.680 or something or
01:05:38.160 is it an
01:05:38.640 advantage because
01:05:40.380 whoever you're
01:05:41.020 negotiating with
01:05:42.000 thinks they're
01:05:43.980 competing with
01:05:44.620 free money?
01:05:47.720 Here's where it
01:05:48.480 gets interesting.
01:05:50.740 And here's a
01:05:52.000 persuasion lesson
01:05:53.020 that goes deep.
01:05:54.520 This will be
01:05:55.040 deeper than the
01:05:55.800 surface stuff that
01:05:56.860 you see about
01:05:57.440 persuasion.
01:05:58.500 Oh, repetition
01:05:59.160 is good.
01:05:59.900 That's good, too.
01:06:01.080 But I'm going to
01:06:01.780 take you to a
01:06:02.340 deeper level.
01:06:04.400 The best
01:06:05.260 negotiating trick
01:06:06.500 you could ever
01:06:07.080 have is to
01:06:08.940 be irrational
01:06:09.660 in a way that
01:06:12.080 the person you're
01:06:12.740 dealing with
01:06:13.240 thinks they
01:06:13.700 can't fix.
01:06:17.020 That's what
01:06:18.340 Trump does with
01:06:19.140 negotiating and
01:06:20.380 with tariffs.
01:06:22.120 Imagine you're the
01:06:23.060 negotiator and
01:06:23.860 you come in and
01:06:24.500 say, hey, you
01:06:25.540 don't put a
01:06:26.040 tariff on me.
01:06:27.180 And Trump says,
01:06:28.100 why not?
01:06:28.460 It's free money.
01:06:29.240 Everybody loves
01:06:29.740 free money.
01:06:30.260 I'll get reelected.
01:06:31.040 I'll tell everybody
01:06:31.640 you gave me a
01:06:32.180 billion dollars.
01:06:32.860 They'll love me.
01:06:33.720 I'll have everything
01:06:34.540 I want and we'll
01:06:35.280 have some free
01:06:35.780 money.
01:06:36.460 And then the
01:06:37.200 person negotiating
01:06:37.960 says, that's not
01:06:38.920 free money.
01:06:40.360 That's you telling
01:06:41.160 an American company
01:06:42.160 to pay extra taxes,
01:06:43.480 basically.
01:06:44.240 It's a tariff, but
01:06:45.240 it's like a tax.
01:06:47.060 And so that's
01:06:48.400 not true.
01:06:49.980 And then Trump
01:06:50.420 says, it's free
01:06:51.100 money.
01:06:52.240 I'm going to take
01:06:52.940 the free money
01:06:53.580 unless you give me
01:06:54.240 the deal I want.
01:06:55.580 And then the
01:06:56.240 person says, it's
01:06:56.800 not free money.
01:06:58.000 It's not free
01:06:58.880 money.
01:07:00.160 And then Trump
01:07:00.940 says, I'm going to
01:07:01.640 all right, I'll
01:07:02.200 take the free
01:07:02.720 money.
01:07:03.720 So fuck you.
01:07:04.980 You know, you
01:07:05.400 don't have a deal.
01:07:06.180 No, we need a
01:07:06.940 deal.
01:07:07.420 We need a deal.
01:07:09.000 But you have to
01:07:10.020 understand, I'm not
01:07:11.660 competing against
01:07:12.360 free money.
01:07:13.600 You're just taking
01:07:14.380 money from Americans
01:07:15.260 and giving it to
01:07:16.020 Americans.
01:07:16.960 I'm not giving you
01:07:17.840 the money.
01:07:19.100 And then Trump
01:07:19.560 says, great, we
01:07:20.860 don't have a deal.
01:07:22.180 No, but I need a
01:07:23.600 deal.
01:07:23.940 I have to have a
01:07:24.560 deal.
01:07:24.780 Well, you better give
01:07:26.140 me a hell of a deal
01:07:27.060 because you're competing
01:07:27.880 with free money.
01:07:28.640 I'm not competing
01:07:29.720 with free money.
01:07:30.680 It's not free money.
01:07:33.140 I told everybody in
01:07:34.520 America it's free
01:07:35.180 money.
01:07:36.700 You're competing with
01:07:37.740 free money.
01:07:39.980 And guess what?
01:07:41.940 They're competing with
01:07:43.100 free money.
01:07:44.800 He just creates it
01:07:46.120 out of nothing.
01:07:47.900 If the people
01:07:49.000 negotiating with
01:07:50.060 Trump believes that
01:07:52.020 he believes that it's
01:07:54.920 free money, which he
01:07:56.600 couldn't possibly
01:07:57.280 believe, they're
01:07:59.360 going to surrender
01:07:59.940 because they need a
01:08:01.360 deal and they don't
01:08:02.460 know how to get past
01:08:03.960 that hump.
01:08:06.220 Now, if you think I'm
01:08:07.980 making this up, that
01:08:09.140 this is a valid, well
01:08:11.160 understood negotiating
01:08:12.260 point, I'm not making
01:08:13.680 it up.
01:08:14.040 It's what I've talked
01:08:14.720 and written about
01:08:15.360 before.
01:08:16.080 I've used it.
01:08:18.060 There was a
01:08:18.660 negotiation.
01:08:19.400 Well, I'll tell you
01:08:20.040 the negotiation.
01:08:21.920 At the end of my, one
01:08:23.920 of my syndication
01:08:25.520 license deals, not
01:08:28.140 license, but
01:08:28.780 syndication deals, the
01:08:30.860 first one went for, I
01:08:32.120 think, 15 years.
01:08:34.200 Now, at the end of
01:08:34.960 15 years, I had a
01:08:36.720 lot of market power
01:08:38.000 compared to my
01:08:38.960 syndication company.
01:08:40.480 And so when it was
01:08:41.040 time to renegotiate, I
01:08:43.180 thought, whoa, I'm
01:08:44.420 going to get a higher
01:08:44.980 percentage and get a
01:08:46.600 few extra things
01:08:47.460 because it's been a
01:08:48.800 little lopsided the
01:08:50.180 other way for years.
01:08:51.160 And then I was
01:08:53.060 told, oh, you may
01:08:54.780 have forgotten that
01:08:56.460 there was a clause in
01:08:57.700 your contract that if
01:08:58.820 you go to somebody
01:08:59.700 else, you still have
01:09:01.180 to pay your old
01:09:01.820 company.
01:09:02.880 And I said, wait,
01:09:04.200 what?
01:09:05.040 If I don't do
01:09:06.220 business with you at
01:09:07.220 all, and I go to
01:09:09.020 your competitor and
01:09:10.240 I'm only working with
01:09:11.540 them, I still owe you
01:09:13.040 money?
01:09:13.880 Yeah, that's what you
01:09:14.800 signed 15 years ago.
01:09:16.480 I did?
01:09:18.220 And I had to look at
01:09:19.400 it.
01:09:20.080 And sure enough,
01:09:21.160 what an idiot.
01:09:22.920 I mean, I mean, maybe
01:09:24.180 I knew it at the time,
01:09:25.200 but I didn't remember.
01:09:26.840 And so now they had to
01:09:27.920 be totally by the
01:09:28.700 balls, totally by the
01:09:30.920 balls.
01:09:32.440 Economically, it didn't
01:09:33.660 make sense to go
01:09:34.560 anywhere else.
01:09:35.620 It made sense to stay
01:09:36.880 because I could get a
01:09:38.000 real good deal for
01:09:39.360 staying.
01:09:40.800 But I said, if you
01:09:45.460 make, if you keep that
01:09:46.580 in there, that is so
01:09:48.060 outrageous, I'm going to
01:09:49.680 quit the business.
01:09:51.160 And they said, what?
01:09:55.100 You would never quit the
01:09:56.360 business.
01:09:57.480 You're making millions of
01:09:58.820 dollars per year and you
01:10:00.920 can't go to the
01:10:01.560 competition without paying
01:10:03.240 us.
01:10:03.800 So if you're not going to
01:10:04.560 do that, you're definitely
01:10:06.160 not going to quit the
01:10:06.920 business.
01:10:07.900 And I said, apparently,
01:10:11.260 you don't know me.
01:10:12.720 This is so outrageous.
01:10:14.320 I will quit the fucking
01:10:15.540 business.
01:10:16.120 And you're going to have
01:10:17.380 to explain to your
01:10:18.360 partners why you lost
01:10:19.860 your biggest cartoonist.
01:10:21.280 I'm out.
01:10:23.540 Now, did I mean that?
01:10:27.300 No.
01:10:30.040 Of course, I didn't mean
01:10:31.280 that.
01:10:31.740 I'm not going to give up
01:10:32.640 millions of dollars for
01:10:33.780 drawing silly little
01:10:35.820 pictures every day.
01:10:36.940 The best job ever.
01:10:38.620 But did I convince a
01:10:41.300 very skilled negotiating
01:10:43.020 professional that I was
01:10:44.700 absolutely serious that I
01:10:46.140 was going to do something
01:10:46.940 that was batshit crazy?
01:10:48.820 Yes, I did.
01:10:50.160 And did it work?
01:10:51.060 It did.
01:10:51.860 I ended up staying with
01:10:52.920 the company, but they gave
01:10:54.700 me the terms that I
01:10:55.460 wanted.
01:10:55.680 Later, I left because
01:10:58.440 there was a merger and
01:10:59.440 blah, blah, blah.
01:11:00.680 But yeah, this is a term.
01:11:04.040 Acting irrational is
01:11:06.500 negotiating.
01:11:07.740 Now, this isn't the only
01:11:08.780 entity.
01:11:09.680 This is not the only case
01:11:10.940 you've seen Trump act
01:11:12.680 irrational.
01:11:14.140 But it's an act.
01:11:16.220 You know, when he tells
01:11:17.420 Kim Jong-un that it's
01:11:19.780 going to be on a raining
01:11:21.180 fire or whatever, I mean,
01:11:23.040 it's just all part of the
01:11:23.860 deal to act irrational.
01:11:25.680 You've got to act
01:11:26.380 irrational or else people
01:11:28.320 will think they can keep
01:11:29.240 negotiating.
01:11:31.240 That irrational wall is
01:11:33.180 really, really powerful.
01:11:36.360 So I can't read Trump's
01:11:37.860 mind, but in my head, I
01:11:39.460 believe he does understand
01:11:40.960 tariffs.
01:11:42.200 And I do think that he
01:11:43.460 knows how to negotiate.
01:11:45.300 And when you put
01:11:45.900 understanding of tariffs
01:11:47.500 together with knowing how
01:11:48.860 to negotiate at the
01:11:49.880 highest level, not just
01:11:51.560 an ordinary negotiator, it
01:11:53.720 looks like this.
01:11:55.680 It looks like people
01:11:56.420 saying, why don't you
01:11:57.340 understand?
01:11:58.640 And then he'll just
01:11:59.640 continue to say what he
01:12:00.900 says and things will work
01:12:02.360 out.
01:12:04.420 New York Post says that
01:12:05.940 the Act Blue organization
01:12:08.820 that collects money to
01:12:10.260 donate to Democrats,
01:12:13.140 there's a GOP strategist
01:12:16.120 whose name and address I
01:12:18.600 guess got used for all the
01:12:20.260 fake laundering of money.
01:12:22.120 So the accusation is that
01:12:24.000 Act Blue, they can't
01:12:25.500 write legally, they can't
01:12:26.980 write big checks, gigantic
01:12:29.580 checks.
01:12:30.180 So they have to pretend that
01:12:31.960 they're getting lots of
01:12:32.720 little checks from
01:12:33.640 individuals and then it can
01:12:35.440 go to the politicians.
01:12:38.040 But if they...
01:12:41.580 So what they're doing is
01:12:43.020 finding people who probably
01:12:44.460 don't pay attention to
01:12:45.580 politics at all, taking
01:12:47.380 their name and pretending
01:12:48.620 that they give money every
01:12:49.820 cycle along with lots of
01:12:51.260 other fake names.
01:12:52.600 And apparently there are a
01:12:54.520 number of reports that
01:12:56.400 it's quite clear that this
01:12:57.720 is just a money laundering
01:12:58.840 organization, according to
01:13:01.040 the allegations.
01:13:03.040 I say that lasts to stay
01:13:04.540 enough trouble.
01:13:06.920 Anyway, speaking of Joe
01:13:09.100 Rogan, he was saying the
01:13:10.100 other day that you can't
01:13:11.140 find a negative story about
01:13:12.360 Kamala Harris on Google.
01:13:14.280 Now, that may be a little
01:13:16.220 bit of an exaggeration, but
01:13:17.420 not much.
01:13:18.640 So look at our system that
01:13:20.400 we have.
01:13:22.140 So we've got the social
01:13:23.720 media network is totally
01:13:25.140 biased.
01:13:26.420 We've got ActBlue, which
01:13:28.880 looks apparently corrupt.
01:13:32.180 We've got every state
01:13:33.760 passing laws that appear
01:13:36.360 to be only designed for
01:13:38.460 ringing elections, such as
01:13:40.720 you don't have to check the
01:13:42.100 ID of people voting
01:13:43.780 overseas, for example.
01:13:45.900 It feels like the media is
01:13:53.960 biased, the social media is
01:13:55.640 biased, the funding is
01:13:57.540 biased, and we think that
01:14:00.300 the vote counting will all be
01:14:01.560 fair.
01:14:04.140 Just hold that in your head.
01:14:06.680 Like, here's the, how stupid
01:14:09.460 do you have to be?
01:14:11.080 Let me just set it up.
01:14:12.100 If you knew for sure that the
01:14:15.140 political funding was totally
01:14:17.980 corrupt, the mainstream media
01:14:21.160 was totally corrupt, and you
01:14:24.920 knew that Google and social
01:14:26.920 media, except for X maybe, is
01:14:29.840 totally corrupt, you knew that
01:14:33.260 the, you went through the
01:14:34.780 pandemic and you saw that the
01:14:37.280 medical community is totally
01:14:39.300 corrupt because they have
01:14:40.740 bosses.
01:14:42.220 By the way, anytime anybody has
01:14:43.760 a boss, everything's corrupt
01:14:45.860 because they just have to do
01:14:47.600 what their boss says.
01:14:48.400 They can't do what they think
01:14:49.840 is right.
01:14:51.520 So all of those things are
01:14:52.780 totally corrupt, and we know
01:14:55.120 that.
01:14:55.400 We also watch the lawfare being
01:14:58.060 used against Trump, and even
01:14:59.760 the appellate courts are puking
01:15:01.320 on it.
01:15:01.860 We see the lawfare being used
01:15:03.800 against Elon Musk, so we know
01:15:05.900 that the Department of Justice
01:15:08.860 is totally corrupt, right?
01:15:11.840 So the funding is corrupt.
01:15:14.600 The mainstream media is
01:15:15.840 corrupt.
01:15:17.140 The social media is corrupt.
01:15:21.400 The, what was the other thing
01:15:23.820 I said?
01:15:24.260 Basically, the experts are
01:15:26.420 corrupt.
01:15:27.540 So you have a world in which,
01:15:30.960 with certainty, all the big
01:15:34.180 organizations are corrupt.
01:15:35.420 corrupt, and we're pretending
01:15:37.240 the voting is going to work.
01:15:40.000 And, you know, that's fine.
01:15:41.040 Oh, the voting's good.
01:15:42.940 No, it's not.
01:15:45.240 It's not even close.
01:15:46.980 You remember when Black Lives
01:15:48.720 Matter, we thought it was real,
01:15:50.080 and then we found out it's just
01:15:51.360 scam, and Antifa went away as
01:15:53.900 soon as, you know, Biden was in
01:15:55.840 office.
01:15:56.820 Scam.
01:15:57.600 If everything you know about is a
01:16:00.300 fraud, you know, even the border
01:16:03.020 bill, the border bill was just a
01:16:05.020 fraud.
01:16:06.580 The, you know, every funding bill
01:16:08.040 in Congress is just a fraud.
01:16:10.520 They're all just fraud.
01:16:11.900 But the elections are fine.
01:16:15.340 Yeah, the elections are fine.
01:16:17.340 Everything else is a fraud.
01:16:19.900 But not those elections, ladies
01:16:22.900 and gentlemen.
01:16:23.940 You would have to be so fucking
01:16:26.300 stupid to think that any of our
01:16:28.640 elections had been real in your
01:16:30.660 lifetime.
01:16:31.120 Now, they might have been, in some
01:16:34.960 cases, the actual outcome may have
01:16:37.620 matched what the majority of the
01:16:39.140 voters wanted, but that would be a
01:16:41.440 coincidence.
01:16:43.220 You have to understand that whatever
01:16:45.820 gets somebody elected has nothing to
01:16:47.680 do with the will of the people.
01:16:49.720 Sometimes it matches, but that's
01:16:52.020 probably just an accident.
01:16:55.060 Do you ever wonder how a populist like
01:16:57.120 Reagan could get elected if the deep
01:17:00.940 state is running everything and they
01:17:03.240 wouldn't want a populist in office?
01:17:06.780 Could have anything to do with the fact
01:17:08.520 that Reagan said he would rebuild the
01:17:10.080 military and spend massive amounts of
01:17:12.080 money on the military-industrial complex,
01:17:14.680 and then he's the most popular president
01:17:16.800 in two terms because he spent the most on
01:17:19.600 the military-industrial complex?
01:17:21.060 Do you think that's a coincidence?
01:17:25.180 Maybe everything is exactly what it
01:17:27.140 looks like.
01:17:28.320 Completely corrupt.
01:17:32.080 Anyway, Wall Street Journal says that
01:17:35.280 66 economists are optimistic about the,
01:17:38.420 you know, more optimistic than not about
01:17:41.060 the state of the economy.
01:17:43.140 Now, I did not read the article.
01:17:46.420 Do you know why?
01:17:47.540 Even though I love things that
01:17:49.640 economists say, and it seems like it'd
01:17:51.940 be very important to know if 66
01:17:54.260 economists were leaning in a positive
01:17:56.360 position.
01:17:57.360 Do you know why I did not read that
01:17:58.680 article?
01:17:59.380 Because without reading it, I know the
01:18:01.320 following.
01:18:02.340 There's not one of those 66 who knows
01:18:05.040 any solution for a debt problem, and
01:18:07.860 the debt problem is terminal.
01:18:10.460 Meaning, if you don't fix it, you're
01:18:12.180 dead, and nobody even has an idea how
01:18:14.200 to fix it.
01:18:15.180 Do they?
01:18:17.000 So, if you're going to tell me 66
01:18:18.760 economists gave me an opinion about
01:18:20.500 the economy, but didn't state, you're
01:18:23.180 all doomed because there's no way to
01:18:24.800 pay off the debt, I'm not going to
01:18:26.940 listen to them.
01:18:28.420 There's nothing they can tell me that
01:18:30.720 matters, except do you know how to pay
01:18:33.760 off the debt?
01:18:34.940 If you know how, and you're not telling
01:18:37.500 us, well, you're a pretty messed up
01:18:40.400 economist.
01:18:41.060 You should tell us if you know.
01:18:42.680 If you don't know how that could ever
01:18:44.720 be fixed, and you're still going in
01:18:46.900 public saying things will be fine, what
01:18:50.240 kind of a corrupt, lying piece of shit
01:18:52.380 are you?
01:18:54.000 No, everything won't be fine if you
01:18:56.140 can't tell me there's some way, any way,
01:18:59.100 that the debt can be paid off.
01:19:03.200 Now, I would like to dovetail from that
01:19:06.720 point to the following point.
01:19:08.240 I believe that there are basically four
01:19:12.780 existential threats to America.
01:19:16.180 Let's see if you agree.
01:19:18.160 Number one, the national debt.
01:19:21.180 Existential risk, meaning it could
01:19:23.660 destroy America, like maybe it wouldn't
01:19:27.680 even be called America, it would be so
01:19:29.500 bad.
01:19:31.400 World War III, you know, let's say the
01:19:33.800 Ukraine situation specifically, maybe
01:19:36.580 Iran, turns into a bigger thing that
01:19:39.840 could take out the whole world.
01:19:41.800 I mean, all it would take is one of
01:19:43.220 those entities deciding to take out our
01:19:45.160 power grid, and we're in big trouble.
01:19:49.740 The food supply is poisoned, seems to be
01:19:54.000 killing us slowly and sometimes quickly.
01:19:57.540 And the open border.
01:19:59.860 If the border stays as open or even
01:20:02.760 similarly open, we're kind of on a
01:20:05.660 business.
01:20:07.000 Now, here's what's interesting about all
01:20:08.800 four of them.
01:20:11.240 Kamala Harris has no plan for any of it,
01:20:13.900 and Trump has a solution for all four.
01:20:18.080 How am I supposed to ignore that?
01:20:20.520 Now, let me tell you the solutions.
01:20:21.820 The national debt, the only way, the
01:20:24.640 only way you could even get a chance to
01:20:27.920 address that is if you have something like
01:20:30.500 an Elon Musk trying to make the
01:20:32.820 government more efficient so we can take a
01:20:35.140 trillion and a half dollars out of the
01:20:36.760 spending.
01:20:37.920 Do you think anybody in the world could
01:20:39.820 take a trillion and a half out of the
01:20:41.180 spending?
01:20:42.720 Probably only Elon Musk, because you're not
01:20:45.780 going to be able to go in and say, oh,
01:20:47.060 everybody caught 10 percent.
01:20:48.380 We'll be fine.
01:20:49.080 They'll never work.
01:20:50.040 You have to reinvent.
01:20:52.160 You're going to have to say, suppose we
01:20:53.820 didn't have a government and we want to
01:20:56.400 build one.
01:20:56.840 What would it look like?
01:20:59.480 How much would it cost?
01:21:02.060 He's got to go that deep.
01:21:03.860 He's got to go all the way to assume
01:21:06.280 nothing exists.
01:21:07.940 What would it look like if you built it
01:21:09.680 from scratch?
01:21:11.960 Short of that, there is no solution.
01:21:15.200 It's unsolvable.
01:21:16.960 Short of that.
01:21:18.140 But he's the one person in the world who
01:21:21.020 could do that.
01:21:22.520 And he's on Trump's team.
01:21:23.900 So the biggest risk in the country,
01:21:27.020 there's only one group that has a plan
01:21:29.120 and it's actually feasible.
01:21:34.180 Like you could actually imagine.
01:21:37.580 That Musk could make a deep enough
01:21:39.900 change in the system that you would get
01:21:42.880 a better government.
01:21:44.340 Here's the key.
01:21:45.600 Very important.
01:21:46.680 You get a better government at 10 percent
01:21:49.620 of the cost.
01:21:50.680 Have you ever seen him do anything like
01:21:52.320 that?
01:21:52.580 Yeah, you're probably on X.
01:21:55.360 He got 80 percent of the staff of X
01:21:57.660 and made it way, in my opinion,
01:21:59.660 10 times better.
01:22:01.100 So yes, he can do that.
01:22:03.200 He did it with rockets.
01:22:04.600 He can do that.
01:22:07.160 How about the World War III?
01:22:10.640 What do you think Kamala Harris is going
01:22:12.220 to do about stopping war?
01:22:14.140 Same thing she and Biden have done so far.
01:22:16.240 Nothing.
01:22:17.620 They just like to sell him weapons
01:22:19.380 and talk.
01:22:21.500 Do you think that Trump,
01:22:24.360 uniquely among people,
01:22:26.340 would be able to wrap up the Ukraine-Russian war?
01:22:29.240 Yes.
01:22:30.000 I believe he could wrap that up
01:22:31.900 and just make a deal.
01:22:33.600 Could Trump keep us from having a major war
01:22:36.800 with Iran?
01:22:37.900 I think so.
01:22:39.420 I do think so.
01:22:40.540 So again,
01:22:43.220 existential problem.
01:22:44.780 I don't see that Harris has anything
01:22:46.700 that looks like a workable way
01:22:48.140 to avoid that risk.
01:22:52.840 Number three,
01:22:53.800 the food supply.
01:22:55.060 RFK Jr.
01:22:56.320 could make a huge improvement
01:22:58.220 in the food supply problem.
01:22:59.620 I don't see anybody else who could
01:23:01.760 and nobody else who's interested.
01:23:05.220 But he's on Trump's team.
01:23:08.060 The open borders,
01:23:09.420 Trump can fix it.
01:23:11.640 It's obvious that the Democrats,
01:23:13.180 even if they pretend they care,
01:23:14.680 it's only for the election.
01:23:16.520 So the four biggest things,
01:23:18.140 national debt,
01:23:18.820 World War III,
01:23:19.580 food supply is poisoned
01:23:20.720 and the open borders.
01:23:22.880 Trump assembled exactly the right team
01:23:25.480 and of all the people in the world,
01:23:27.560 he ended up with the best people
01:23:31.400 to solve these problems
01:23:32.460 of all the people in the world.
01:23:37.400 Because Elon Musk isn't like,
01:23:39.280 oh, he's one of the good ones.
01:23:40.660 No, he's Elon Musk.
01:23:43.400 There's only one.
01:23:45.240 And there's only one RFK Jr.
01:23:47.240 And you need all of that power.
01:23:49.800 You need all of that to make a dent
01:23:51.660 in the problems of this size.
01:23:53.340 But they can do it.
01:23:56.380 Now, I would say that
01:23:57.480 we can also complain about education,
01:23:59.820 the education system.
01:24:02.200 But I have some questions about that.
01:24:07.320 Is our education broken everywhere,
01:24:10.700 the education system?
01:24:12.060 Or is it almost entirely concentrated
01:24:14.520 in primarily black schools
01:24:17.180 where the population is primarily black?
01:24:20.460 Do we have one school system
01:24:23.540 that's in trouble
01:24:24.400 or, in effect,
01:24:26.700 two separate school systems?
01:24:28.400 One is neglected
01:24:31.080 for whatever reasons
01:24:32.600 and one is chugging along okay?
01:24:36.000 Because it feels like it's the latter,
01:24:37.920 but we always treat it like an average.
01:24:40.220 But it's really just two systems.
01:24:42.220 One, a neglected, broken,
01:24:44.700 underfunded,
01:24:46.520 you know, poor teachers,
01:24:48.540 every single thing wrong
01:24:49.640 that you could have wrong with a school.
01:24:50.960 They tend to be concentrated
01:24:52.540 in black population areas.
01:24:58.420 So I'm not sure
01:24:59.360 that you could say education is broken.
01:25:01.560 I think you could say
01:25:02.700 there's a pocket of education
01:25:04.240 that's very broken
01:25:05.100 and you need to do something about that.
01:25:08.100 But I'm not sure
01:25:09.100 it's just as broken everywhere.
01:25:11.560 You know, if I look at the schools
01:25:12.700 in my town, for example,
01:25:13.960 you know, they're good compared to schools.
01:25:16.860 I would also say
01:25:19.980 that education
01:25:20.760 needs to be completely overhauled.
01:25:24.260 Maybe AI will do that.
01:25:26.480 Maybe that'll fix a few things.
01:25:28.760 Anyway, the hoaxes are in full swing.
01:25:30.720 The hoax about Trump using the military,
01:25:33.040 I think you should mock it
01:25:34.420 and say all they have is hoaxes.
01:25:36.760 I wouldn't even address it.
01:25:38.100 I'm not even sure
01:25:38.940 anybody would take that seriously.
01:25:41.080 But I would love to see Trump
01:25:42.780 talk to a citizen
01:25:43.800 about the question
01:25:45.380 of whether he would use the military
01:25:46.880 to get rid of his enemies.
01:25:49.200 I don't want to see MSNBC
01:25:51.240 just claim it
01:25:52.220 and have a guest on to claim it.
01:25:54.460 I want to see Trump at McDonald's
01:25:56.320 and somebody say,
01:25:58.360 Mr. Trump,
01:25:59.500 they say you're going to use
01:26:00.440 the military against your enemies
01:26:01.840 and just watch him mock it.
01:26:03.680 Say, I'm not going to use
01:26:04.800 the military in the United States.
01:26:08.140 No, no.
01:26:09.540 I mean, if there's an emergency,
01:26:11.240 you do it,
01:26:11.780 but I'm not going to use it
01:26:12.960 to take out my enemies.
01:26:14.080 That's not something
01:26:14.660 that's going to happen.
01:26:16.900 Yeah, the U.S. military
01:26:17.760 is now authorized
01:26:18.680 to kill Americans on U.S. soil.
01:26:21.160 That's true.
01:26:22.340 I don't know the context of that.
01:26:24.760 I hope the only context
01:26:26.320 was they wanted to make sure
01:26:29.120 if there was a terrorist
01:26:30.240 who was an American citizen,
01:26:32.220 that you didn't have to treat them
01:26:33.480 with kid gloves
01:26:34.260 because they're an American.
01:26:36.000 You know, you could treat them
01:26:36.780 as a terrorist
01:26:37.380 once you realize they're just terrorists.
01:26:38.760 But I also worry
01:26:41.580 that that could be extended
01:26:42.840 and that maybe the point of it
01:26:44.720 was for somebody to kill Trump
01:26:46.060 and make it legal.
01:26:48.560 So I do worry about that.
01:26:50.680 Tim Walsh is continuing
01:26:52.060 his knucklehead theme.
01:26:54.740 He was talking about J.D. Vance
01:26:56.080 being a venture capitalist.
01:26:57.700 And he said, quote,
01:26:58.900 I don't even know
01:27:00.120 what a venture capitalist
01:27:01.060 does most of the time.
01:27:02.380 I think it's funny
01:27:05.880 that he's running
01:27:06.560 for vice president
01:27:07.500 on the strength
01:27:08.780 of not knowing things.
01:27:11.940 Well, there's a lot of stuff
01:27:13.040 I don't know.
01:27:13.700 I'm kind of a knucklehead.
01:27:15.120 Sometimes I say
01:27:15.940 the opposite of what I mean
01:27:17.220 and I don't even know
01:27:18.360 what a venture capitalist does
01:27:19.680 most of the time.
01:27:22.080 So I love how
01:27:23.160 amazingly incompetent
01:27:24.780 he is.
01:27:26.380 All right, ladies and gentlemen,
01:27:28.440 that concludes
01:27:29.340 my podcast for today.
01:27:32.540 And I'm going to talk
01:27:33.340 to the locals people privately
01:27:34.660 because they're so awesome.
01:27:37.520 Thanks for joining.
01:27:38.420 I will see you again tomorrow
01:27:39.420 on YouTube
