Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2630 CWSA 10⧸16⧸24

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 0.76

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,

00:16:55.380 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 0.55

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 0.98

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 0.98

00:32:38.680 to back

00:32:39.120 Iran.

00:32:39.920 So if Iran 0.92

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 0.99

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 0.89

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 0.64

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. 0.55

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 0.95

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 0.82

00:34:17.240 would feel

00:34:17.840 safer.

00:34:18.700 Maybe Iran 0.94

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 0.98

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 0.91

00:35:32.560 enough control

00:35:33.240 over North

00:35:33.860 Korea that 0.99

00:35:34.500 North Korea is 0.89

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 0.95

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, 1.00

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 0.82

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 0.71

00:38:49.840 addict.

00:38:50.480 Because I

00:38:50.840 think women 0.63

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 0.71

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 0.59

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 1.00

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 0.76

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 0.64

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 1.00

00:46:42.640 over there with

00:46:43.300 the designer jeans.

00:46:44.600 Are those from 0.99

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 0.96

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 0.99

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 0.97

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? 0.91

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 0.94

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 1.00

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 0.88

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:59:18.100 men can't figure 1.00

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 1.00

00:59:48.340 men need help 0.89

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 1.00

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 0.97

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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. 0.68

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 0.99

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 0.94

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 0.53

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 1.00

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? 1.00

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 0.87

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 0.96

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 1.00

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. 0.63

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

01:27:39.940 and Rumble and X.
