Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2652 CWSA 11⧸07⧸24

00:00:00.000 Looking good.

00:00:02.020 Golden Age is off to a good start.

00:00:06.080 But we got a show today, today, today, to do, today.

00:00:09.600 It's going to be amazing.

00:00:11.600 Probably the best thing ever.

00:00:14.440 Let's get our comments up.

00:00:20.020 And.

00:00:30.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:36.760 Welcome to the Golden Age, too.

00:00:39.320 And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:45.360 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard, shells or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:52.280 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:53.580 I like coffee.

00:00:54.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:00:58.340 The thing makes everything better.

00:01:01.420 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:03.780 And it happens now.

00:01:05.420 Go.

00:01:10.300 Oh, the golden age of goodness is just seeping out of there.

00:01:18.520 It's in my pores now, people.

00:01:20.140 It's in my pores.

00:01:22.840 Did you know that an extra five minutes of exercise a day, or actually just five minutes?

00:01:27.960 Could lower your blood pressure.

00:01:30.280 That's right.

00:01:31.360 You only need five minutes a day.

00:01:33.440 I'm going to make yet again another push for my idea of Americans taking more walks after meals.

00:01:41.220 Could be after breakfast if you're retired.

00:01:43.920 Could be after lunch if you get a little extra time.

00:01:46.660 Could be after dinner.

00:01:47.680 But I've been using this advice on myself.

00:01:53.000 Probably every other day I take a long walk.

00:01:55.820 And I feel great every time I do.

00:02:00.580 And the secret for me, anyway, is to walk until it's challenging but not exhausting.

00:02:07.380 And oh my goodness, does it just change your attitude?

00:02:10.740 You sleep better.

00:02:11.800 You eat better.

00:02:12.500 You digest better.

00:02:14.120 If I could convince you to do one change in your life, it's just to get up and put on some comfortable shoes and take a short walk.

00:02:24.440 And the emphasis is on short.

00:02:26.860 Because when you take your walk, when you're done, you should say to yourself, that was fun.

00:02:32.320 I feel great.

00:02:33.040 If you don't say that was fun, I feel great, then you probably went too long or maybe not long enough.

00:02:40.180 But there's that sweet spot where you don't work, you don't kill yourself, but you're just putting a little effort out there, getting some sun, some fresh air.

00:02:48.760 Go ahead.

00:02:49.400 Try it.

00:02:50.400 Try it.

00:02:51.640 Try it right away.

00:02:53.240 It's amazing.

00:02:54.020 There's a study from Ohio State University highlighting the pervasiveness of inflammation in our diet.

00:03:03.760 Did you know that 60% of Americans have what they call a pro-inflammatory diet?

00:03:10.560 I've told you this story before, but for a number of years recently, I thought old age had caught up with me, and now everything hurts all the time.

00:03:20.700 So my muscles hurt, it seems like my joints hurt, things creaked and cracked, and everything was inflamed, and I just thought that's how it was.

00:03:31.300 And I saw an interview on the street, somebody, some influencer was asking people randomly, what's it like to be old?

00:03:39.680 And they would go up to old people in the street and say, what's it like to be old?

00:03:43.560 And one of them was a guy who probably wasn't much different from my age, and he said, what's it like to be old?

00:03:49.240 And the guy says, well, honestly, it's like losing a fight every day because everything hurts all the time.

00:03:57.480 And I was watching it, and I thought to myself, wow, that's true.

00:04:00.700 My entire body hurts all the time.

00:04:02.900 I mean, not a lot, but like every time I stood up, every time I moved, you know, I feel, ugh, until it loosened up a little.

00:04:10.500 And that was all inflammation.

00:04:14.700 So I managed to get the inflammation under control with a combination of diets and who knows what.

00:04:20.780 But at the moment, I don't have any.

00:04:23.320 And my body feels like I'm 25.

00:04:26.740 It's un-frickin'-believable that if you are even at my age and you take the inflammation out of your body, you feel like a teenager.

00:04:35.880 It's just the food. 0.99

00:04:37.720 The food is fucking killing us. 0.99

00:04:40.480 And here's one thing that I want the RFK Jr. Trump administration to at least think about. 0.98

00:04:49.880 Would you not agree that it's been a public service to have food labeled with nutritional value?

00:04:57.240 Yes or no?

00:04:57.880 Now, some of you are, you know, free absolutists, so you'd say, don't make me say something on my product.

00:05:06.760 Let the market figure it out.

00:05:08.480 But I think most of us would say, yeah, I like some truth in labeling.

00:05:13.380 You know, it shouldn't be legal to lie to me or to sell me something unhealthy without me knowing it.

00:05:18.880 So most of us would agree a little government intervention to at least tell us the truth is on point.

00:05:26.480 But you know what truth I want?

00:05:28.600 I want to know the inflammation ratio.

00:05:32.400 I want a big number right on the front of it, like from 1 to 10, that tells me what it's going to do to my inflammation.

00:05:39.940 Wouldn't you?

00:05:41.260 And I would just ignore all the high inflammation ones, which is going to end up being a lot of your junk foods anyway.

00:05:49.620 So that's what I want to see.

00:05:52.400 All right, I have a theme for today.

00:05:54.200 The theme for today is, oh, my God, am I impressed by the founders of this country who came up with a system some 250 years ago-ish, in which they said, if we follow these rules and this constitution, even if things go terribly off the rails, we can pull it back.

00:06:16.060 And I thought maybe that wasn't true.

00:06:20.320 I felt until this last election that maybe the slippery slope was just nothing you could do anything about.

00:06:29.220 Things were going off the rails.

00:06:31.000 People were going crazy.

00:06:32.860 We were doing things that were clearly not beneficial for the country and actually existential threats to the country.

00:06:38.780 And it didn't look like there was a correcting mechanism.

00:06:43.120 And then there was.

00:06:45.260 And that's going to be my theme today.

00:06:47.600 There was a correcting mechanism.

00:06:49.640 In fact, the correcting mechanism was so big, it changed everything.

00:06:56.240 And we'll get into that a little bit.

00:06:58.900 Number one, the judge in Trump's hushbunny trial.

00:07:02.080 Well, it looks like all the the lawfare against Trump is going to be thrown out.

00:07:07.820 So did the system solve the lawfare problem?

00:07:12.500 It might have.

00:07:13.960 So we had this big problem with lawfare that none of us liked.

00:07:18.280 And if it had been successful, oh, my God, what then?

00:07:22.960 Right.

00:07:23.260 Then we just become the country of lawfare.

00:07:25.680 But it looks like it won't be successful.

00:07:27.720 And so there again, the, you know, the monster got out of the cage.

00:07:33.840 But 250 years ago, some people wrote the Constitution and it put the monster back in the cage because we elected, we elected Trump and that fixed that problem.

00:07:49.380 So, all right, that's a win.

00:07:51.380 Win for the founders.

00:07:54.160 Jack Smith, not so happy.

00:07:55.920 But now, I'm not entirely sure that every one of Trump's legal problems will go away because there might be some, you know, clever evil on the other side.

00:08:04.960 But at the moment, it looks like that's been corrected.

00:08:09.300 And that was corrected by, here's the important point, the majority of voters.

00:08:16.480 That's the important part.

00:08:18.040 In fact, that's the biggest point today.

00:08:20.460 The majority, the majority of voters fixed that.

00:08:25.920 That's how that's supposed to work.

00:08:30.660 There's a mystery bettor.

00:08:33.000 You probably heard this story.

00:08:34.180 Somebody was betting millions, many millions, in the Trump election.

00:08:39.640 And one mystery bettor, allegedly from France, but we're not entirely sure about this story, allegedly won $50 million on bets.

00:08:49.360 And the story, and again, there's a little question about whether every part of the story is true, but this is what we think we know.

00:08:57.940 There was some, just an investor person who was good with numbers, who made several large bets.

00:09:04.420 And listen to these bets.

00:09:05.560 He bet, he bet, he bet that Trump would win the presidency, but also he bet that he would win the popular vote.

00:09:15.120 Somebody bet millions that he would win the popular vote.

00:09:18.280 And also that he would win the swing states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all three.

00:09:22.780 And he won on every bet.

00:09:26.460 Do you know what was the basis for his bets?

00:09:30.240 Guess what was the insight he used to win $50 million? 0.99

00:09:34.560 His insight was, the polls are bullshit, and they're underestimating Trump's popularity. 0.88

00:09:47.500 Now, I don't know if you remember in 2016, when I was somewhat famously predicting Trump would win, and I had an argument for it that made sense to some people. 0.96

00:09:59.600 But it didn't seem, it seemed like a long shot.

00:10:01.860 There were a number of people who got back to me later who said they won anything from $100,000 to $1 million, because they bet, based on watching my periscopes, they bet that Trump was being under-polled.

00:10:20.400 So it's worked twice.

00:10:22.640 I don't know if anybody lost money in 2020.

00:10:25.640 Probably they did, so I won't take credit for that.

00:10:28.100 But apparently, people betting against the pollsters has been a good bet.

00:10:36.020 Now, we're still waiting to find out, you know, what's up with the polls versus the actuals.

00:10:41.820 But, of course, that broke into two complete movies as well.

00:10:46.520 So which movie are you in?

00:10:48.100 So there's two movies running right now.

00:10:49.760 One of them is that the polls said it would be really, really tight, and most of the polls said it would be tight at the end.

00:10:57.960 And then, sure enough, we didn't know who was going to win, but it turned out, you know, Trump won, but it was within the margin of the polls, and therefore the polls were successful.

00:11:10.200 That's one movie.

00:11:11.560 Are you in that movie?

00:11:12.620 That the polls were ultimately very successful, because they said it was going to be super close, and it was.

00:11:19.260 And then there's the other movie that says, which one of the polls said that Trump would win so hard that he would win in the Senate, he would win in the House, and he would effectively destroy the Democratic Party while you watched?

00:11:35.100 Who said that?

00:11:37.100 Which pollsters got that one right?

00:11:38.880 So you could actually look at this as two opposites.

00:11:44.300 It's literally the same facts, and you can interpret them as opposites.

00:11:48.600 One, well, they said it'd be close, and it was close.

00:11:51.740 The other is, they said it'd be close, and Republicans won everything, everything that mattered.

00:11:58.420 They won even the popular vote, for God's sakes.

00:12:00.880 So, I don't know which of those I'm going to accept yet, but I think I'm leaning toward the pollsters were under-polling Trump, and that there were some hidden people, and I think they were men.

00:12:17.480 I think the people who weren't talking to the pollsters were mostly men, and across all types.

00:12:25.820 It turns out it wasn't white men, it wasn't Hispanic men, it wasn't black men, or Asian-American men.

00:12:35.740 We always forget to throw in the Asian-Americans, because they just quietly are awesome all the time.

00:12:41.300 So they don't cause many problems in the country, they just make money and pay taxes, so they don't get mentioned as often, but should be.

00:12:48.100 Well, we think somebody made $50 million, just betting against the fake news, basically.

00:13:02.540 That was really a bet.

00:13:03.460 It was a bet against the fake news, is what it was.

00:13:07.260 They won $50 million betting against the news being real.

00:13:11.820 Because remember, it's not just the pollsters.

00:13:14.000 If the polls were weird, but the people in the news were aware of it, then they would have reported it thusly.

00:13:23.000 So it's really a bet against the fake news, not just the polls.

00:13:26.780 Ontario, the wait is over.

00:14:13.400 How many of you heard or saw on social media that the number of votes that Kamala Harris will ultimately get seems to be 15 to 20 million votes short of what Biden got,

00:14:41.380 and therefore, logically, we've discovered that 2020 was a stolen election, because where did 15 million voters go?

00:14:49.700 Because we know that they didn't stay home. 0.99

00:14:52.260 And the answer is, it's all bullshit, although that story is bullshit. 1.00

00:14:57.940 Forget it. 1.00

00:14:59.060 Don't forward that one.

00:15:00.720 Don't forward it unless you're forwarding it as fake news, right?

00:15:05.780 The reason the 15 million-ish, I think it's down to 14, are missing is that they literally just haven't counted them yet.

00:15:14.340 You know, half of them are in California, and it's just an ordinary.

00:15:18.360 So the projected number of total voters will look a lot like 2020.

00:15:24.420 It's just that Trump got more of them.

00:15:26.080 Now, does that mean that 2020 wasn't rigged?

00:15:30.960 Well, it depends what you call rigging.

00:15:36.440 I guess it depends what you call rigging.

00:15:38.760 Now, it could also be that you would only need to rig a few key swing states, and you get everything you need.

00:15:45.700 So it doesn't necessarily mean that 20 million voters are missing.

00:15:52.760 It could mean 100,000 voters that didn't belong got into the system.

00:16:00.560 So we can't say one way or another whether the 2020 election has been proven to be fraudulent or not.

00:16:07.700 And I have my questions, but I have zero confirmed facts on that.

00:16:16.360 So I'm going to try to kick off the golden age being honest.

00:16:20.780 Like, I always try to do that, but, you know, I think it's good to set the standard.

00:16:25.900 So let me tell you, people who are watching this, we got taken.

00:16:30.920 You know, I'm going to put myself in that category, even though I didn't fall for that one.

00:16:36.160 But I'm in the team, right?

00:16:37.980 We're in the same team.

00:16:38.800 We got taken.

00:16:40.100 That was not real.

00:16:41.680 That was fake news.

00:16:43.380 And it was feeding into your, it was feeding into what you thought was true.

00:16:47.540 It was too on the nose.

00:16:49.580 Wouldn't that be a little too simple?

00:16:51.560 Oh, there was 20 million votes that were fake.

00:16:54.340 Yeah, a little too on the nose.

00:16:55.520 So that one I didn't accept, but I'm also open-minded.

00:17:03.040 If it turns out that the final vote count is missing, I don't know, five million voters,

00:17:09.780 I would certainly take a look at that.

00:17:12.600 That would get my interest.

00:17:14.240 But at this point, we do not have evidence that 2020 was cheated.

00:17:18.840 All right.

00:17:19.160 It may have been, and I have my deep suspicions,

00:17:22.380 but no evidence that I'm aware of.

00:17:26.840 So, if we find some someday, and I think that's a possibility,

00:17:33.260 then we'll have that conversation.

00:17:34.640 But at the moment, don't see it.

00:17:38.920 And by the way, I'm not sure if this is premature yet.

00:17:45.500 This is probably premature.

00:17:46.460 But I had predicted that Trump would get the most votes.

00:17:52.380 So, I'll give myself credit for the prediction that he would get the most votes.

00:17:57.400 Now, keep in mind, I didn't say that he would just win the election.

00:18:06.860 I said he would win the popular vote.

00:18:09.660 Now, that's the most votes.

00:18:13.080 Now, I don't know how many people were predicting he would win the popular vote,

00:18:17.120 but I did.

00:18:17.720 Now, I also predicted, and this part is either not going to be true or not true yet.

00:18:24.760 I predicted that we would not have a smooth confirmation, you know, deal,

00:18:31.400 and that it would take to the end of January to sort it out.

00:18:34.620 I feel, and how many of you have this feeling?

00:18:37.160 The Democrats are too quiet.

00:18:42.180 Do you feel that?

00:18:44.020 Do you feel that the Democrats, they're doing the usual whining and complaining and finger pointing,

00:18:48.780 but they're too quiet about what they're going to do about the situation they find themselves in,

00:18:54.700 as in maybe they have a plan, and we're going to find out.

00:19:00.740 So, I'm not completely confident that we've got a smooth sailing through the, you know,

00:19:07.200 swearing-in ceremony on January 20th.

00:19:09.700 So, I'm going to keep my prediction.

00:19:12.160 My prediction has so far shown no evidence of being true.

00:19:16.040 And if it's not true, I'm going to actually congratulate Democrats for some fair play,

00:19:23.380 which I would appreciate a lot.

00:19:26.100 So, let's keep that one open.

00:19:28.400 I'm still on full alert that there might be some tricks in the bags that we don't know about.

00:19:35.740 But I do think the fact that even Democrats believe that Trump won the majority 0.99

00:19:43.800 is the mindfuck of all mindfucks, 0.99

00:19:47.080 and that whatever's happening in Democrat brains today has got to be severe. 0.99

00:19:53.440 And we'll talk about that a little bit more.

00:19:57.240 Here's another fake news.

00:19:58.860 How many of you saw, and I got taken in by this one, so this is my bad.

00:20:03.080 That this is only partially fake news.

00:20:06.180 So, this is fake news that is directionally accurate.

00:20:10.640 But I think it's worth saying when you got taken.

00:20:13.580 All right?

00:20:14.120 So, I'm going to raise my hand.

00:20:16.080 We're in a world where we're going to get taken by fakes and Rupar edits and, you know, bad actors.

00:20:24.360 And if you do what I do, which is you repost a lot of stuff that looks interesting,

00:20:29.980 you're going to get taken.

00:20:31.800 All right?

00:20:32.100 So, I feel like I should just start right out and say, like, I'm going to fall in that puddle, like, a lot.

00:20:40.860 So, here's one I fell into.

00:20:43.620 There was a video that seemed to show Jake Tapper being amazed that there were no counties in the country,

00:20:50.540 not a single one, in which Harris did better than Biden.

00:20:55.040 It turns out that that was a Rupar, and if you'd watched the whole video, there are, in fact, I think, several dozen counties in which she did better.

00:21:05.200 Now, that doesn't change the general story.

00:21:08.200 It's still directionally correct.

00:21:10.200 I guess there was another filter that they weren't putting on it.

00:21:13.220 And if you saw the other filter, it would say, like, 58 counties, she did better, something like that. 0.57

00:21:17.740 But that's 58 out of thousands, lots of counties.

00:21:23.700 So, the message is exactly the same.

00:21:26.100 But when you get taken by a hoax, I feel like we have some responsibility to the people who have been living in what I call the hoaxocracy.

00:21:34.920 Like, we need to model what it looks like when you know you got taken by a hoax.

00:21:40.980 You got to show how to walk yourself down from that.

00:21:44.040 That's got to be routine.

00:21:45.760 That's got to be something everybody learns to do.

00:21:47.880 It's like, oh, man, I walked right into that.

00:21:50.280 Total face plant.

00:21:51.920 You know, my bad.

00:21:53.300 Sorry.

00:21:54.940 So, at least that would be a healthy, healthy situation.

00:21:58.700 Well, young voters made up.

00:22:00.580 I'm loving all the stuff we're finding from the election outcome.

00:22:04.920 It's just fascinating on so many levels.

00:22:08.180 So, young voters made up 16% of the electives.

00:22:11.600 That's between 18 and 29.

00:22:15.160 And it turns out that men between the ages of 18 and 29 voted decisively for Trump.

00:22:22.460 Why?

00:22:24.200 Why did men break for Trump?

00:22:29.280 Well, number one, probably not worried about bodily autonomy.

00:22:32.780 So, that wasn't an issue.

00:22:35.960 You know, abortion presumably weighs much, you know, bigger on the minds of young women.

00:22:41.940 And it should.

00:22:42.740 But I think the Joe Rogan, Dana White, kind of Elon Musk.

00:22:55.220 I'll even throw, you know, Vavak in there.

00:22:57.960 There's a whole bunch of manly, positive manly things happening.

00:23:03.160 Trump getting shot and jumping up and yelling, fight, fight, fight.

00:23:08.020 There are a lot of things there that Trump does right.

00:23:11.840 Men like strength.

00:23:14.540 We like leadership.

00:23:16.560 We like certainty.

00:23:17.880 We like not to be talking about your character and your characteristics and your personality.

00:23:25.740 Can you tell me how much it's going to cost me?

00:23:28.740 Can you tell me how to fix this thing? 1.00

00:23:30.740 Can you keep me out of a war that is just a stupid fucking war? 1.00

00:23:34.180 So, these are everything that young men care about. 1.00

00:23:38.200 Can I get a job?

00:23:39.600 Can I afford to live? 1.00

00:23:40.780 Can I pay for shit? 1.00

00:23:42.460 It's everything. 0.99

00:23:44.300 So, I am really mad at my neighbor right now for having agreed not to do loud noises when I'm doing my live stream.

00:23:53.780 But there's a bulldozer right under my window.

00:23:57.400 Or some kind of earth moving machine.

00:23:59.740 Anyway, I won't let that get to me.

00:24:06.020 So, here's a reframe I'm going to give you before we have some fun talking about all the people who are sad because Trump won.

00:24:13.120 We're going to talk about all the late night hosts who are all crying and choked up and life was ending for them.

00:24:19.900 And they were despondent and Jimmy Kimmel was beside himself.

00:24:24.220 And Bette Midler, she canceled her ex-account after this. 0.99

00:24:28.100 And Barbara Streisand just doesn't have the words. 0.86

00:24:32.840 She's feeling so bad.

00:24:35.280 And here's what I think.

00:24:38.060 I think we need a reframe.

00:24:40.920 I don't know that this one will work.

00:24:43.800 But maybe for some of your family members it might.

00:24:48.240 It goes like this.

00:24:49.600 You go into a political event and you say to yourself,

00:24:52.960 I want the character with the best policies.

00:24:55.560 But then somebody else says, okay, you know, you might like his policies or her policies,

00:25:02.020 but what about their character, their personality?

00:25:05.720 What about their values?

00:25:07.580 You can't really have that kind of a leader.

00:25:09.780 Now, that's the frame that we were living under.

00:25:12.560 I like his policies because everybody agreed.

00:25:16.060 The polls were very clear that on economics and the border and even war, I think, Trump was preferred.

00:25:23.700 So if you were going to argue policy, you probably went to Trump.

00:25:27.160 So is it a surprise that men went for Trump when policy was the main appeal?

00:25:32.340 No.

00:25:33.280 No.

00:25:33.780 Because men can quite easily work with men that they can't stand.

00:25:37.800 We don't really have a problem with that.

00:25:39.580 Do women know that? 1.00

00:25:43.520 Are women aware that men can work productively with men they don't like at all?

00:25:49.780 It doesn't even bother us.

00:25:51.660 Because when I see men with whatever problems they have, whatever character falls,

00:25:56.520 I usually just see my own.

00:25:59.180 You know, I'm like, well, I'm like one degree away from being like that.

00:26:02.640 So we don't really judge other men and we can kind of work with them.

00:26:08.200 So if you've got a good policy, if you're a plumber, I'm not going to ask you who you voted for.

00:26:13.860 You know, just fix my pipes, okay?

00:26:15.820 Now, women apparently were a little more drawn to the character frame. 0.98

00:26:20.400 You can't have somebody who's somebody else says is a fascist.

00:26:24.200 You can't have somebody who somebody else says is going to round up the LGBTQ and put them in camps.

00:26:29.820 Now, none of that's true, but it became, you know, part of the story.

00:26:35.260 That Trump had the character, he was going to be the strong man, Hitler kind of person.

00:26:40.740 So we allowed, as a public, we sort of passively allowed two frames to pop up.

00:26:49.320 One was, can you handle his character?

00:26:52.060 And then you had to say stuff like, well, I don't like all of his social media posts.

00:26:57.520 Like, it just became a thing, you had to say that.

00:27:01.140 I do like closing the borders, but I don't like everything he says, some of the ways he says it.

00:27:07.780 All right, so we had to do that.

00:27:10.620 I would submit that these are the wrong frames.

00:27:15.400 And if you fall into these frames, you have a world of continuous disunity.

00:27:20.300 I would suggest, I don't think we're there yet, but there is an awakening that's happening that's unmistakable.

00:27:29.000 And part of that awakening is that the pro-Democrat part of the country woke up to find out they're not the majority.

00:27:40.520 Imagine waking up to that. 0.99

00:27:44.420 The single number one thing that Democrats were sure about is that there were more of them than there were of those damn disgusting, mega people. 0.99

00:27:57.080 So as long as they were in the goodly, you know, the angels of the majority, they could feel pretty confident that they had the right take. 0.99

00:28:07.700 And it's always the, the criminals are always the minority, right?

00:28:11.560 It's like, ugh, the people, the rapists, they're the minority. 0.72

00:28:14.640 Thank God they're the minority. 1.00

00:28:15.780 Thank God they're the minority. 1.00

00:28:45.780 I think that none of that's true.

00:28:48.960 That you live in a world of, I call it the hoaxocracy.

00:28:52.780 It's actually an artificial reality that's built up by the propaganda brainwashing regimes.

00:29:00.860 Let's say the brainwashing industrial complex of the news plus the people who pay the news, you know, the pharmas and et cetera.

00:29:09.700 And so here's the frame that we should be entering.

00:29:12.380 I don't know if we're ready, but if ever there was a time we'd be ready, it'd be just about now.

00:29:19.300 And it's because of this surprising election result and because it changed people's opinion of what the majority looks like.

00:29:27.120 Here's the reframe.

00:29:31.180 It's not about policies or character.

00:29:34.720 It's about brainwashing. 0.99

00:29:37.500 Those who came out of the brainwashing joined Trump.

00:29:41.520 You saw it a bunch of times.

00:29:42.860 You saw the Bill Ackman saying, I thought the fine people hoax was real.

00:29:48.800 And as soon as I found out that it wasn't real, that opened up, suddenly it was like a door opened.

00:29:54.760 And I realized the other stuff wasn't real either.

00:29:58.140 I said, Sean McGuire, do I have the right name?

00:30:00.580 Another Silicon Valley investor.

00:30:02.380 Same thing.

00:30:03.620 Saw the fine people hoax.

00:30:05.420 Said, wait a minute.

00:30:07.020 Everybody said that was true.

00:30:09.540 Everybody.

00:30:10.980 That they were watching.

00:30:13.140 And when they found out that was a lie, and not only was it a lie, it was a lie that was most easily debunked.

00:30:20.880 All you had to do was play another 15 seconds of video.

00:30:24.360 That's it.

00:30:25.880 And not any of the mainstream video, none of the mainstream did it.

00:30:29.720 Now, you might know that for years I've been saying that the fine people hoax is the tentpole hoax.

00:30:37.260 It's the way out.

00:30:39.000 Now, I saw this years ago.

00:30:40.980 This is where hypnosis training helps you out.

00:30:43.900 You can kind of see around corners.

00:30:45.800 I knew that if you could take down the tentpole, you know, the main pole that's holding up the tent, that all the little poles would just fall.

00:30:55.060 You just had to get rid of the big one.

00:30:56.500 And that's what happened for some prominent people.

00:31:03.940 So, if you understand that the correct frame is that we're under a brainwashing regime, and if you can escape the brainwashing, you're likely to vote for Trump.

00:31:16.680 And if you can't escape the brainwashing, you're likely to vote for whatever Democrat they put.

00:31:21.180 Because the fact that they could trade out Biden and put in Harris, I mean, they're not the same at all.

00:31:30.760 And the fact that they could just flip out one and flip in the other tells you that the Democrats are a machine.

00:31:37.540 You're not really voting for a character or a policy.

00:31:40.100 And that you're in a brainwashing environment.

00:31:45.480 If you can make your relatives understand that you won't talk about policy or character, but you would be happy to talk about what things in the news are true or false, that might be a way out.

00:31:59.620 And if you can at least convince them that the fine people hoax was a hoax, you should say from that, I promise you that I'm not evil.

00:32:10.560 I promise you that you've been brainwashed.

00:32:13.200 Now, here's the problem.

00:32:14.820 When you tell somebody they've been brainwashed, how does that go?

00:32:18.320 Have you ever tried to do that?

00:32:20.100 I do that a lot.

00:32:21.660 So far, 0% success.

00:32:24.040 It's never worked.

00:32:27.760 And I'm good at it, right?

00:32:29.240 I literally, I'm a trained persuader.

00:32:31.840 I can't do it.

00:32:33.580 You cannot tell somebody they're brainwashed.

00:32:36.080 You also cannot tell people that they're experiencing cognitive dissonance.

00:32:40.660 Because cognitive dissonance and brainwashing are the things that are telling you that the outside voices are wrong.

00:32:46.640 So you can't really penetrate that.

00:32:48.640 They have to discover it themselves.

00:32:50.400 So you have to give them the space that is sort of like managing a boss.

00:32:57.260 Those of you who have worked for big companies, you know how to do this.

00:33:00.480 Your boss wants to automatically disagree with you.

00:33:04.360 So you try to make it look like the boss's idea.

00:33:07.260 Oh, that's a good idea.

00:33:08.200 You had their boss, even though two weeks ago it was your idea.

00:33:12.400 So you may have to get the people you're trying to un-brainwash.

00:33:16.700 If you say, you are brainwashed, I will un-brainwash you now.

00:33:20.220 Nope.

00:33:21.040 No chance that's going to work.

00:33:22.780 You say instead, I'm going to make you a deal.

00:33:26.800 If I can debunk one hoax that you thought was true, will you be open to the idea that you're in an environment of hoaxes?

00:33:37.760 We'll only look at one.

00:33:40.220 You can do the rest on your own.

00:33:42.740 But we'll just do one.

00:33:44.360 And I'd say go to AmericanDebunks.com.

00:33:49.280 Is there an S on it?

00:33:50.580 Or AmericanDebunk.com. 0.99

00:33:52.620 Damn it. 0.97

00:33:53.080 I wish I could remember if there's an S on debunk. 0.98

00:33:55.660 But you'll find it either way.

00:33:57.280 It's AmericanDebunk or debunks.com.

00:33:59.260 And point them to the fine people hoax.

00:34:03.080 And just say, do me a favor.

00:34:05.960 If you're panicked, just look at this one hoax.

00:34:09.780 Once you understand how that was done, you'll understand how the other ones were done as well.

00:34:15.680 And you'll see that there's nothing that they can put on the screen that isn't ridiculous that they can't make you believe.

00:34:21.160 So you should never leave the brainwashing frame.

00:34:27.100 Don't let them get into character.

00:34:29.480 Don't let them even get into policy.

00:34:32.100 Just say, why is it do you think you believe that?

00:34:35.780 And why do you think that the majority of the country doesn't see Godzilla coming or whatever they think Trump is?

00:34:46.640 Wow.

00:34:47.240 All right.

00:34:48.940 So the reframe is it's brainwashing.

00:34:53.740 I saw some interviews on the street with older educated white women, what they thought about Trump getting elected. 0.88

00:34:59.800 And they are just destroyed.

00:35:01.780 Because they all believe, they actually believe that he's going to steal their democracy and their bodily autonomy.

00:35:10.300 Now, I think Trump did a terrible job on the bodily autonomy argument.

00:35:14.540 But he had a superhighway to the right through it, which is to say there are more women in the states. 1.00

00:35:25.180 And it'll take a little while, but you'll get exactly what you want.

00:35:29.300 And we took the men in the Supreme Court out of it completely.

00:35:32.460 I took myself out of it.

00:35:33.680 We took the federal government out of it.

00:35:35.260 And you can figure it out.

00:35:37.760 Now, one of the things that I think that we have to give some credit, though, to the Republican strategy of overturning Roe versus Wade. 0.99

00:35:52.420 When that happened, did you not say to yourself, oh, shit, no Republicans can ever win another election? 0.99

00:36:03.040 How many of you said that to yourselves? 1.00

00:36:06.540 Oh, no.

00:36:07.940 There's no way you're going to get past this.

00:36:09.760 There's no way the women in America collectively are going to let that stand. 1.00

00:36:14.260 And then, did you see what happened in the election?

00:36:18.980 There were a few states that had abortion issues on the ballot. 0.99

00:36:24.040 So you could vote for more permissive abortion. 0.97

00:36:28.200 At the same time, there was a presidential election.

00:36:30.860 So there were cases where the state would say yes on Trump, but also yes on more abortion, more abortion rights.

00:36:38.660 That means that the Republicans did what Republicans do.

00:36:48.040 God, I love this.

00:36:50.180 Republicans knew that if they got rid of Roe, they would take a gut punch for about at least two years and maybe longer.

00:36:57.980 That they would be kind of not competitive for a while.

00:37:01.460 It would take a while for people to understand that the states were, in fact, adjusting, as was the plan.

00:37:10.740 It was a short-term investment for long-term complete dominance.

00:37:17.720 They had to get abortion off of forever, the federal election conversation. 0.95

00:37:25.420 And they did.

00:37:26.720 They did.

00:37:27.580 Because now that you see that two states could vote for Trump at the same time they could vote to have more abortion rights,

00:37:34.720 and you know that Trump is very firm on it, he doesn't want a national ban,

00:37:39.620 because that would get you right back to the same problem you had before, a political problem, if nothing else.

00:37:44.680 Then you see the genius of it.

00:37:46.360 Now, at the time, I was optimistic that once the Roe vs. Wade thing worked its way through the system 0.99

00:37:54.200 and the states started adjusting to whatever the state wanted, that it would take the issue away.

00:38:01.120 But, wow, did it work.

00:38:02.500 So, you know, if you trust instinct and you look at, you know, Trump's instinct to take a run at that,

00:38:13.340 whatever Republicans could see past that horizon and could see that that was a long-term good,

00:38:24.060 that's who I want in charge.

00:38:26.540 Like, that's the kind of brains I want running stuff. 0.99

00:38:29.460 I want somebody to say, you know what, we're going to suck. 0.97

00:38:32.560 We're just going to take it hard for a few years. 0.71

00:38:36.960 But if we get through this, we're going to be in a much better place.

00:38:40.640 And that's what happened.

00:38:42.640 The Republicans took it in the chops.

00:38:45.520 Trump lost in 2020.

00:38:48.640 And then they came back stronger.

00:38:52.380 Strongest they've ever been.

00:38:53.420 So, every time you don't want to trust Trump's hunches,

00:39:00.520 I would just ask you to look at the track record.

00:39:04.640 He is a hunch master.

00:39:07.300 I mean, his hunches and just the way he reads a room is really unparalleled.

00:39:13.280 I don't think we've ever seen it in modern politics.

00:39:15.360 Anyway, so the older white women think we're going to enter a period of fascism and authoritarianism. 1.00

00:39:24.480 The examples given on the street by the random interview people are that children will be denied books

00:39:32.560 if it includes stuff about trans.

00:39:35.400 That was one of the things they were panicked about,

00:39:38.120 that young children would be denied explicit books about being gay and trans.

00:39:44.100 little kids.

00:39:47.200 Like, that was a top issue.

00:39:49.640 And I'm thinking, what is wrong with you?

00:39:53.480 What's wrong with you that that's your top issue?

00:39:56.580 How's that getting the top two?

00:40:00.300 And then the bodily autonomy one, I think, is just framed wrong.

00:40:05.060 You know, once the states start giving women what the women in those states want, they're fine. 1.00

00:40:09.960 And here's something that I'm so dumb I didn't realize. 0.91

00:40:14.100 Because I thought abortion would be a bigger factor. 0.96

00:40:17.260 And I say, okay, let's say you're a woman in California.

00:40:19.680 You really, really care about abortion.

00:40:23.040 But you already have it.

00:40:26.480 So, I mean, are you going to vote for somebody else's rights? 0.67

00:40:30.160 How many people in California are like, yeah, let's give those Missourians more rights? 0.74

00:40:36.840 Nobody.

00:40:38.900 And then if you're in Missouri, I'm just picking a random state, or let's say you're in some state where abortion is restricted.

00:40:46.340 Well, it's probably restricted because most of the people in that state like it that way.

00:40:52.580 So we got this weird situation where the people in the states probably had something like exactly what they wanted, or at least what their state wanted, collectively.

00:41:01.460 And it was hard to get mad about that.

00:41:04.540 Oh, we have what we want in my state, but I'm really mad about Rhode Island.

00:41:10.820 And it's just hard to get mad about another state.

00:41:13.000 All right, Trump won Latino men. 0.65

00:41:18.320 What?

00:41:21.640 What?

00:41:23.960 Trump won.

00:41:25.800 He didn't just do better.

00:41:27.700 Like you expect that story.

00:41:29.320 He did better than somebody else did.

00:41:31.680 He outright won.

00:41:34.480 Latino men.

00:41:36.620 He won.

00:41:37.520 Now, who is it who's been telling you for now several years that whatever you think about the Hispanic community coming in,

00:41:49.620 if you don't have the good luck to be associated with them closely, you would not know that they're all born Republicans.

00:41:57.980 They're all Republicans.

00:41:59.500 They don't know it.

00:42:01.040 They may not have ever heard that word.

00:42:02.720 They might not even speak English, but they're Republicans.

00:42:06.220 They like their family.

00:42:08.640 They like hard work.

00:42:11.160 They like providing.

00:42:14.380 They like their God.

00:42:16.440 They want their government to leave them alone.

00:42:20.320 Bring them in.

00:42:22.680 So, yes, of course, it was the men in that group.

00:42:26.240 Not surprised.

00:42:27.600 And he won it handily.

00:42:29.460 Oh, my God.

00:42:31.380 Now, there's a change.

00:42:32.820 We're not going back from that.

00:42:34.080 So, I'd like to also say, this would be the right time to say, that the worry that we've had about the illegal migrants, or the migrants, many of them are legal,

00:42:46.840 the migrants coming in and changing the vote, doesn't look like it happened.

00:42:51.880 Would you agree?

00:42:53.620 Does it look like we had any abuse of the system from the incoming people?

00:43:01.340 Well, I haven't heard it.

00:43:03.220 Now, keep in mind, when people said they were worried about illegal voting, sometimes they were worried about the actual non-citizens voting.

00:43:11.740 But I think we all knew that wasn't going to be a big number.

00:43:14.640 We were more worried that somebody was farming their ballots so that they could put them in all at once.

00:43:21.040 As far as I can tell, that didn't happen.

00:43:22.980 And I think that we don't know why that didn't happen.

00:43:27.180 One reason it didn't happen could be it's never happened.

00:43:31.980 It's possible.

00:43:33.300 It's possible that nobody has ever tried to collect the ballots up of non-citizens in case they had ballots.

00:43:40.680 It's possible.

00:43:41.980 I wouldn't know one way or the other.

00:43:43.460 It's also possible, and I'd say a little more possible, that the good work of Watley and Trump, Laura Trump in this case,

00:43:54.140 to make sure that there were a billion lawyers standing on every corner looking at everything that happened,

00:44:02.080 maybe that was the reason.

00:44:04.100 Maybe that was the reason.

00:44:05.620 But we'll never know, which is sort of annoying.

00:44:09.140 I'd like to know if I was completely wrong about that risk.

00:44:13.480 Now, but there's the short term and the long term.

00:44:16.180 The short term is you're worried about ballot farming, of ballots that shouldn't even exist.

00:44:22.040 But in the long run, you're worried that the settlement of the newcomers will change the long-term character of the area.

00:44:30.360 Or in the short run, you could change the census, which could change how much representation they have.

00:44:36.520 But I would look at this election and look at Trump winning Latino men, and I would say the following.

00:44:44.060 How about having some policies that work for everybody?

00:44:47.780 You're not going to worry about getting elected if you've got some policies that every common-sense person says,

00:44:53.680 yeah, you do have to close that border.

00:44:57.120 And they did.

00:45:02.520 Let's talk about some of the characters having a hard time with it.

00:45:06.520 Howard Stern thinks that the real story might be the common-sense one,

00:45:12.420 because behind closed doors, he hears men say things that, you know, you don't hear about how men won't back a woman.

00:45:22.040 May I, can I have permission from men? 0.89

00:45:26.840 Men.

00:45:27.940 I'm going to ask for permission.

00:45:29.200 Do you mind if I tell the women who are watching some secrets about what happens behind closed doors when men are talking?

00:45:41.180 You okay with that, everybody?

00:45:43.580 Men?

00:45:44.460 Because we don't, you know, we have sort of an unwritten code that if it's man-to-man, it's behind closed doors.

00:45:51.380 You got to keep it there.

00:45:52.700 There is a man code.

00:45:53.640 But I feel that Howard Stern is breaking the man code.

00:46:00.260 Howard Stern, you're not supposed to tell anybody what men say behind closed doors.

00:46:05.020 So, first of all, you're kicked out of the man club.

00:46:08.280 You're out.

00:46:09.880 And now I'm going to do the same thing, but I'm doing it just to correct this.

00:46:13.900 So, I'm a correcting mechanism.

00:46:18.400 Do men behind closed doors say things such as, my God, I don't want a woman to be a president?

00:46:26.500 Yes.

00:46:28.780 Yes, they do.

00:46:30.360 Yep.

00:46:31.020 Yep.

00:46:31.960 They'll say it on social media, too.

00:46:34.200 Yep.

00:46:34.860 Yep.

00:46:35.600 So, that part's true.

00:46:37.000 But is there something left off?

00:46:39.520 There is something left off.

00:46:41.740 Let me explain men for you.

00:46:44.740 Women, this is everything you need to know about men.

00:46:48.040 Yeah, we don't want a woman who's the leader, unless she's really good. 1.00

00:46:52.920 And then fine.

00:46:55.340 If you leave that part out, it all sounds different, right?

00:46:59.220 You show me a strong leader who just happens to be female.

00:47:06.320 Do you think I'm really going to have a problem with that?

00:47:08.160 Do you think even the people in the room who said, I'd never vote for a woman, if they had some super, if they had the Trump of women, you just imagine there's a Trump of women, which there is, you know, in other places.

00:47:22.500 Would I vote for the Trump of women? 1.00

00:47:25.580 Sure.

00:47:26.760 Absolutely.

00:47:28.120 Would the men who said, oh, I don't want a woman in charge, would they vote for the Trump of women? 0.94

00:47:34.200 Yes, they would.

00:47:34.920 All right.

00:47:36.020 So that's the secret from behind the door of men.

00:47:38.880 Men want things to work, mostly. 1.00

00:47:41.760 If you said, it's a blank slate, everybody's equal, you know, then their prejudices come out.

00:47:50.260 But if you say, do you want Tulsi Gabbard to run your military or Kamala Harris?

00:47:57.520 Well, now everything's clear, you know, right?

00:48:01.200 You can say, oh, I want the one I trust, the one who has, you know, the track record that I like.

00:48:07.040 So, yes, behind closed doors, people will say every racist, sexist thing you could ever imagine.

00:48:17.320 But we don't, we also don't take it too seriously.

00:48:20.920 If you show me, you know, Byron Donalds, I say, my God, that guy's really talented.

00:48:28.440 I could see him as my next president.

00:48:31.460 But is somebody going to say something behind a closed door that I would find repugnant?

00:48:37.040 Of course.

00:48:38.360 Men will say repugnant things behind closed doors.

00:48:41.020 But when it comes down to what makes sense, we almost always go with what makes sense.

00:48:45.980 Right.

00:48:46.500 So let me give you an example.

00:48:50.480 Probably most Democrats think that Republicans are anti-LGBTQ.

00:48:57.600 Wouldn't you say?

00:48:58.900 Democrats think that Republicans are anti-LGBTQ.

00:49:02.100 But they also don't watch our news.

00:49:05.980 So they don't see that Scott Pressler is being held up as like the icon of the perfect Republican. 0.95

00:49:13.640 Happens to be gay. 1.00

00:49:15.800 Did anybody complain to you about that behind any closed doors? 0.71

00:49:20.300 Men?

00:49:20.980 Men, have you been behind any closed doors where somebody said, oh, Scott Pressler can't get people to vote? 0.99

00:49:26.940 He's gay. 0.99

00:49:28.200 No.

00:49:29.200 Not a single person said that.

00:49:30.920 Not once.

00:49:31.620 Not anywhere.

00:49:32.700 They said, what's this guy doing?

00:49:35.620 He's getting people to register to vote.

00:49:38.360 He's succeeding.

00:49:39.680 And he wants to do more.

00:49:41.540 He wants to make America great.

00:49:43.460 He likes the ideas of the Republican candidates.

00:49:45.980 He likes Trump.

00:49:47.660 We're done here.

00:49:49.920 We're done here.

00:49:50.820 Anything else you want to say?

00:49:54.360 Not interested.

00:49:56.620 Rick Grinnell is being one of the names kicked around for State Department. 0.84

00:50:01.820 Is there even any one person, Republican, behind a closed door who is ever going to say, oh, Rick Grinnell is the wrong person for that job because he's gay? 0.83

00:50:13.820 No. 0.79

00:50:14.980 Probably never.

00:50:16.260 Probably exactly zero times.

00:50:17.860 So if you don't understand this basic character about Republicans and conservatives, you're really living in a scary world because the way they talk doesn't match the way they act.

00:50:33.000 The way they act is performance, performance, performance.

00:50:37.660 If you've got the goods, you've got the job.

00:50:41.300 And that is every conservative I've ever met.

00:50:44.120 No exception.

00:50:45.080 If you've got the goods, you've got the job.

00:50:48.960 Period.

00:50:49.980 That's it.

00:50:50.980 And I've never seen anybody disagree with that statement.

00:50:53.800 Look in the comments.

00:50:55.460 You'll see zero disagreement in the comments.

00:50:58.340 But behind closed doors, sure, we'll say anything behind closed doors.

00:51:03.120 Because, you know, when men are talking to men behind closed doors, we're often attracted to whatever is the most inappropriate thing to say.

00:51:11.100 So you have to understand that saying the most inappropriate thing is just part of its entertainment, if it's just man to man.

00:51:21.400 James Garville says that the Democrats are going to have to fill the vacuum left in the party after Trump's win.

00:51:28.200 Because the Democrats are, he says, listless and lacking leadership.

00:51:31.500 Eric Gabinanti's post on this I saw, on X.

00:51:37.320 Where do Democrats go from here? 0.73

00:51:39.420 We need a leader.

00:51:40.360 There's no Nancy Pelosi.

00:51:41.960 There's not an identifiable opposition leader.

00:51:45.780 Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's my time.

00:51:52.380 You laughed when I registered as a Democrat just to stay off any kill lists.

00:51:57.280 But who's laughing now?

00:52:01.720 Yeah, who's laughing now?

00:52:03.720 So I plan to announce my run for President of the United States in 2028.

00:52:09.900 I promise to lose to whoever the Republican candidate is.

00:52:14.320 So you're welcome.

00:52:15.740 No, I'm not going to run for office.

00:52:17.540 That'd be crazy.

00:52:18.820 But I do agree that the Democrats don't have anything that looks like leadership.

00:52:23.940 And I don't believe that they have any leaders who can even say things like, it's not about character.

00:52:31.460 Because they've got, you know, the scaredy cat leaders.

00:52:35.000 Oh, I'm scared of the fascists.

00:52:36.980 That's not going to fly.

00:52:38.800 I think we're never going to elect one of those again.

00:52:41.260 At least not in a while.

00:52:44.380 So who do you have?

00:52:45.720 Who's the, who is the, is it Dean Phillips?

00:52:51.100 Dean Phillips is the one who was running, he was trying to run against Biden for a while.

00:52:56.300 I saw Dean Phillips just give an interview on TV.

00:52:59.500 Now, he's a Democrat.

00:53:00.700 And so probably I would not agree with all of his policies.

00:53:04.840 But I'm listening to him talk.

00:53:07.240 And I'm thinking, hey, you're talking about all the important stuff.

00:53:12.540 And wait a minute, I'm not hearing any hoaxes.

00:53:15.480 He didn't have any hoaxes.

00:53:17.180 He just talked about what's important and what we should do.

00:53:19.960 And there were no hoaxes.

00:53:22.140 And there was no, like, weird character things.

00:53:24.480 Oh, the character.

00:53:25.440 Oh, the fascist.

00:53:26.720 And I thought to myself, America could back that guy. 1.00

00:53:31.560 America could totally back that guy. 1.00

00:53:33.560 You'd have to hear a lot more about everything else.

00:53:36.160 But the Democrats do have some reasonable, smart, patriotic people.

00:53:42.780 We'll see if the way they're organized, they can lift them to the top.

00:53:47.160 It didn't work in his case.

00:53:48.760 But I think they've got a machine problem.

00:53:53.120 Trump is so completely destroyed, whatever the Republican Party used to be, that he didn't

00:53:58.240 have a machine problem this time because he is the machine.

00:54:01.300 But they've got a machine problem, the whole system of who's in charge and who talks to

00:54:07.440 who and how they make the decisions.

00:54:09.600 And so it looks like they've gutted the whole Obama wing of the Democrat Party.

00:54:15.520 So there's that.

00:54:23.420 The Democrats, being the party that hate everybody, they're starting to hate themselves.

00:54:30.920 And they're trying to come up with all their best reasons for why they lost.

00:54:34.760 So here are the ones that are bubbling to the top.

00:54:37.420 And if there's one thing I can teach you about multiple explanations for things, whenever

00:54:44.220 there are a lot of explanations for one event, it usually means nobody knows what happened.

00:54:51.080 When there is one explanation, well, maybe that's the right explanation.

00:54:56.340 But when you have 10 explanations for the thing you saw, nobody knows what's going on.

00:55:02.000 So here are some things that Harris lost because she had only 107 days to prepare.

00:55:07.420 And you can't expect anybody to prepare that fast.

00:55:10.700 Come on.

00:55:12.440 Seriously?

00:55:14.220 Are you telling me that the vice president, the sitting vice president, was not willing

00:55:20.320 and able to walk in front of any audience at the drop of a pin and give a smart-sounding

00:55:28.200 interview or debate on their topics?

00:55:32.140 Can you tell me that J.D. Vance couldn't have pulled that off in 170 days?

00:55:38.720 J.D. Vance would have been on CNN within eight hours of getting the pick.

00:55:47.780 And Harris was so incompetent, they had to hide her.

00:55:51.320 No, the 170 days, that doesn't apply to qualified people.

00:55:55.260 All they had to do is have somebody qualified that maybe had some track record as well.

00:56:01.460 And they would have been fine.

00:56:03.340 Because remember, they were running against Trump. 1.00

00:56:05.920 They only had to put up somebody who could breathe and talk and not sound like an idiot. 1.00

00:56:10.160 And they failed to find somebody who could breathe and talk and not sound like an idiot. 1.00

00:56:14.540 They literally couldn't find somebody who didn't sound like an idiot. 1.00

00:56:17.400 How does that have anything to do with the 107 days? 1.00

00:56:22.160 Like, if we gave her 200 days, was she not going to be an idiot? 1.00

00:56:25.520 Was her brain going to grow in? 1.00

00:56:28.460 So, no, the 170 days, I reject.

00:56:32.620 They also say it's because Walsh was a weak choice.

00:56:36.340 No, it wasn't.

00:56:38.360 Now, you might argue that maybe it could have made a difference in Pennsylvania.

00:56:44.280 Maybe.

00:56:44.640 But I don't think anybody voted for or against Walsh.

00:56:50.720 I don't really think so.

00:56:52.220 You could argue the Pennsylvania Ben Shapiro thing.

00:56:56.220 But not that Walsh was just too weak in general.

00:56:58.840 He seemed to be exactly what Democrats wanted.

00:57:02.100 And there weren't any Republicans who were going to vote for the vice president.

00:57:08.100 Some say that Harris didn't say enough about her economic policies. 0.98

00:57:11.500 Some say she didn't put enough distance between her and Biden.

00:57:15.860 And, of course, there's the sexism thing, Howard Stern.

00:57:19.300 And others say, other Democrats are saying, why was our polling so off?

00:57:23.580 Now, imagine waking up and realizing that polling is not real.

00:57:32.100 You're not in the majority.

00:57:34.940 And that the majority of the people didn't believe any of the hoaxes about Trump.

00:57:41.140 Imagine waking up into that reality where you thought the news was real.

00:57:46.180 You thought the polls were legitimate.

00:57:49.420 And you thought Trump was a monster that everybody could see clearly.

00:57:53.760 And then you wake up and you find out the majority don't see him as a monster.

00:57:57.420 They prefer him. 0.99

00:58:00.300 That's got to be really a mindfuck. 0.99

00:58:03.320 I mean, there must be people who just don't even know, like, what reality they're in when they wake up. 0.87

00:58:07.840 And the problem is that they've been in a hoaxocracy and they've just saw the corners of it, like a little light got through.

00:58:15.600 And they're like, wait a minute.

00:58:17.120 That little light that got through into my darkened hoaxocracy, it doesn't make sense.

00:58:23.580 How could there be this little light they got through?

00:58:26.980 And then everything falls apart.

00:58:28.180 Even Bernie Sanders is tough on the Democrats.

00:58:34.220 He said it should come as no surprise that a Democratic Party, which has abandoned working class people, would find that the working class has abandoned them.

00:58:42.420 Well said, Bernie.

00:58:44.420 He said also on a post on X, while the Democratic leadership defends the status quo, the American people are angry and want change.

00:58:53.380 And they're right.

00:58:55.080 Sanders added.

00:58:56.600 And they're right.

00:58:59.160 Did Sanders just endorse Trump?

00:59:05.880 Did he?

00:59:07.980 Because that got pretty close, didn't it? 0.59

00:59:10.660 You know, what's interesting is that, you know, Trump is called Bernie, crazy Bernie and stuff.

00:59:15.840 But Trump has also defended Bernie against the Democrats, you know, their manipulations to keep him off the ballot.

00:59:24.160 So it makes me wonder if on some level, because Bernie is a populist and Trump is a populist, do you think on some level that they appreciate each other?

00:59:37.100 Or respect?

00:59:38.660 Or respect?

00:59:39.160 I'm going to say respect is a better word.

00:59:41.400 I feel like there's some bit of respect there.

00:59:43.700 Because what Bernie is saying is that Trump listened to the people.

00:59:47.040 And then he got elected and the Democrats didn't listen to the working class and lost and that the people are right.

00:59:56.320 So I think he's just saying that the people who backed Trump are right.

01:00:02.760 That's so close to an endorsement.

01:00:05.980 Now, obviously, it's not an endorsement.

01:00:08.920 But it's certainly a good sign.

01:00:11.800 You know, if you're looking for a country that has some hope of coming together, I appreciate this, Bernie Sanders.

01:00:20.740 Thank you.

01:00:24.600 Of course, Lawrence O'Donnell also is trying for the, that Kamala lost because men do not yet believe in full equality for women.

01:00:35.480 And really, Lawrence O'Donnell, where, where exactly are you getting this information from?

01:00:43.620 Here's what I know in the reality I live in.

01:00:46.720 So here's my movie.

01:00:49.040 If you're running for office and you're a woman, you've got an advantage. 0.98

01:00:54.640 If you're running for office and you're black, you've got an advantage. 0.92

01:00:59.500 If you're running for office and you're black and you're a woman, you've got two advantages. 0.97

01:01:05.480 Do you see the pattern I'm developing here?

01:01:09.020 For every person who does say, I'm not going to vote for somebody in this other category.

01:01:16.500 There are three people who say I'm going to vote for them because they're in the category.

01:01:20.860 And not only because they're also in the category, but some people like me, when Obama was running, I said, you know, it'd be great to get somebody in that category.

01:01:30.380 Like, just let's get past it.

01:01:32.360 I thought it was good for the country.

01:01:34.020 It still is good for the country.

01:01:36.460 I don't like him as a person anymore because he's still pushing the fine people hoax. 0.99

01:01:40.840 So his wife has a cock. 1.00

01:01:43.380 That's my deal. 1.00

01:01:44.480 If you haven't heard it yet, as long as Obama says the fine people hoax is real, then I say his wife has a cock. 0.99

01:01:51.360 Neither of them are real. 0.98

01:01:53.660 But let's just keep it even.

01:01:55.600 All right. 0.99

01:01:56.060 Cock, fine people hoax, cock. 0.99

01:01:57.880 We'll just call it a tie and move on. 0.94

01:02:01.800 But even I thought that Obama as a president was a good idea for the country because then we could say, oh, OK, you know, we can get out of our little box a little bit and things will work out fine. 0.86

01:02:13.400 So, no, there's no such thing in America as you're less likely to get elected because you're a woman or you're black. 1.00

01:02:22.540 I'm pretty sure that we're close to a gay president at some point, if we haven't already had a few. 0.94

01:02:29.940 I think we've had a few, actually.

01:02:31.800 But somebody who's out.

01:02:33.700 And I think the country's ready for it.

01:02:36.000 All it would take, all it would take is a Richard Grinnell type personality, somebody who's not making his politics about his bedroom preferences.

01:02:47.020 That's all.

01:02:49.240 The reason Obama worked is because he didn't make it about being black.

01:02:53.160 That's all I ask. 0.84

01:02:54.400 Just don't make it about being black. 0.95

01:02:56.140 If you're a woman running for president like Hillary Clinton was, just don't make it about that. 0.96

01:03:02.360 Just be quiet on that.

01:03:03.920 And I will agree you have plenty of experience and plenty of brains.

01:03:07.640 And Hillary Clinton was very well equipped. 0.78

01:03:10.840 I didn't, you know, I didn't like her as a choice.

01:03:12.840 But certainly nobody said she can't be president because she's a woman. 1.00

01:03:18.740 I never heard that.

01:03:21.140 That's not like a real problem.

01:03:25.320 Anyway, I saw a comment on Wall Street Apes on X.

01:03:30.640 That's an account on X.

01:03:32.700 Said when there is real-time access to the truth.

01:03:35.580 He's talking about the truth coming out on the X platform.

01:03:38.420 When there is real-time access to the truth, all of a sudden the media no longer looked like media.

01:03:44.180 It looked like a parody or bad comedy skits.

01:03:47.420 It was truly something to watch.

01:03:49.800 How many of you have that experience?

01:03:51.580 Because I did.

01:03:53.240 The news, which I used to be so angered and annoyed at, it doesn't look like they're trying anymore.

01:04:00.100 It looks like they've gone into full theater mode.

01:04:05.220 So they seem like theater kids who grew up and they're just pushing their theater choices.

01:04:11.200 And now they look funny.

01:04:13.900 Because they're no longer even associated with the mainstream.

01:04:17.320 Because now they're in the minority.

01:04:19.440 So I had exactly the same reaction.

01:04:22.980 For the last two days, I've been binge-washing.

01:04:26.720 How many of you are doing this?

01:04:30.320 I've been binge-watching MSNBC for the laughs.

01:04:36.640 Like, how many of you are doing that?

01:04:38.400 I'm watching MSNBC for the laughs.

01:04:41.040 And that's not hyperbole.

01:04:43.740 I'm not exaggerating.

01:04:45.060 I literally watch it for the laughs.

01:04:47.620 And I'm kind of hooked to it.

01:04:49.640 Because I just watch it.

01:04:50.540 Oh, my God.

01:04:51.280 And then I think about the people who believe that what they're saying is true or valid or framed right.

01:04:57.940 And I just laugh.

01:05:01.520 So, anyway, that's fun.

01:05:05.260 Here are some stories I don't think are necessarily true.

01:05:08.200 Or maybe they're overblown.

01:05:09.320 We saw a story the other day that the Hooties said they want to cease fire. 0.99

01:05:13.560 They're done.

01:05:13.980 Just at the same time that Trump got elected.

01:05:18.360 And then people said, well, I don't know if this is a coincidence.

01:05:21.740 Looks like maybe they're afraid of Trump.

01:05:25.000 And then today there's a story in Newsweek that says that Hamas is calling for an immediate end to the war after the Trump win.

01:05:33.940 Thinking maybe this is an opening to end the war.

01:05:36.480 And I don't know about Hezbollah, but Hezbollah might be looking for their sixth best leader if the top five are gone.

01:05:47.760 So, I would say I wouldn't take any of these reports literally.

01:05:55.140 You know, obviously, both sides always call for a peace in the immediate ceasefire.

01:05:59.840 But, you know, they want it on their terms.

01:06:01.660 So, if you're calling for a ceasefire, but you only want it on your terms, you're not really calling for a ceasefire.

01:06:08.060 So, I wouldn't take it too seriously.

01:06:10.460 But it was only today I realized that the three problems in that area are the three H's. 0.99

01:06:16.160 The Hooties, Hamas, and Hezbollah. 0.95

01:06:19.740 So, Trump could actually do the hat trick.

01:06:25.600 Trump could solve three wars before taking office.

01:06:29.560 Now, I want to see him do it, not just because I want to see three wars.

01:06:35.660 No, he can do four.

01:06:37.860 He could solve four wars before he's sworn in.

01:06:41.420 All he has to do is signal what's going to happen when he's sworn in.

01:06:45.140 And they'll wrap it up.

01:06:47.900 Because Ukraine knows that the, you know, the fuse has been lit on their war.

01:06:54.440 They're not going to be at war in a year, probably.

01:06:56.580 In all likelihood, Ukraine will not be in war in a year.

01:06:59.880 So, they're probably thinking about how do we handle the after war.

01:07:04.480 They may already be thinking past the sale.

01:07:06.860 Because you know what Trump does so well?

01:07:09.000 He makes you think past the sale.

01:07:11.080 The sale is, should we stop the war? 0.56

01:07:12.940 If he makes him think past it and say, look, we're going to rebuild Ukraine.

01:07:17.940 We're going to make it the model of the country.

01:07:20.500 We're going to make sure Putin never gets near you.

01:07:22.540 And then you start thinking about, oh, well, that after the war period.

01:07:27.440 And if he can make you think about after the war more than the war, he can get you there pretty fast.

01:07:32.600 So, he might solve Ukraine, the Houthis, Hamas, and Hezbollah just on the knowledge of how he would deal with it when he got into office. 0.66

01:07:44.640 It might click all of them into the after-peace mode.

01:07:49.400 Because they know a peace guy is coming in.

01:07:51.420 And he's going to either destroy you or push you into peace.

01:07:54.940 But he's not going to have war.

01:07:56.600 Like, we're not going to put up with war anymore.

01:07:58.760 One way or another, he's not going to put up with war.

01:08:02.380 So, you can either do your war and get crushed.

01:08:05.340 Or you can work with us to get out of war.

01:08:07.560 But we're done with war.

01:08:09.120 I think that's the message that Trump brings.

01:08:11.980 And maybe the most powerful message we've ever seen.

01:08:14.960 When Trump said about Ukraine, I want people to not die, that's a reframe. 1.00

01:08:22.300 Everybody else was an idiot and said, oh, we want Ukraine to protect its sovereign territory. 1.00

01:08:27.400 Which is, you know, not unimportant. 1.00

01:08:30.820 But the right answer was, I want people to stop dying.

01:08:34.580 And I think that that answer works for all four of these wars, if you can call them that.

01:08:39.840 Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah, and Ukraine.

01:08:43.260 Find a place where people don't die.

01:08:46.040 You don't have to find the military victory.

01:08:48.560 You don't have to find a peace that people don't like.

01:08:51.280 Find the place where we don't die.

01:08:53.660 That place exists.

01:08:54.580 I would like to make a suggestion, and I think this has been made in some way, for ending the Gaza problem. 0.94

01:09:05.440 And I've said this before, many times, actually.

01:09:07.580 It's the filter fence idea.

01:09:10.420 If you want, if you think that the only way things will end is if there's a two-state solution,

01:09:14.700 there is a way to get to the two-state solution that I think Israel would agree with, believe it or not.

01:09:22.560 Because, you know, Netanyahu is not too big on the news.

01:09:25.720 He's more of a one-state guy.

01:09:27.560 But if you simply said, we're going to build it in a place where there are zero people.

01:09:32.140 So on day one, the Palestinian world would be no people, just be, you know, a house with a fence around it. 1.00

01:09:42.300 And then the people who would like to be in the peaceful place, that will be peaceful forever, with no terrorists in there, will be interviewed and vetted, etc.

01:09:54.100 And then you let a family in.

01:09:55.560 And you're like, there it is.

01:09:57.620 There's your second state.

01:09:59.400 If anybody else wants to get in, we'll help you build a house.

01:10:02.320 But we have to vet you to make sure you don't have any terrorists.

01:10:06.520 Second family comes in.

01:10:08.100 Hey, you guys are great.

01:10:10.680 The second country is working really well.

01:10:13.140 And you just let all the people in who want to sign on to a second country that doesn't want to kill the other country. 0.58

01:10:20.740 All the other people, you let them rot. 0.97

01:10:24.260 Because if they have the point of view that they don't want to exist unless they kill you first, 0.99

01:10:32.320 you just let them starve to death, die, you just can't put any energy into that.

01:10:37.900 That's a waste of time.

01:10:39.640 But you can take 100% of the people who want to live in peace and give them that opportunity.

01:10:45.740 You just can't have it all in the same place.

01:10:48.380 There's got to be a big, big fence that keeps the people who want to live in peace away from the people who want to hide with them and send missiles.

01:10:57.400 So, yes, it can be done.

01:10:58.820 And I think Trump could do that.

01:11:02.320 So, Trump and his transition team, it is rumored, I don't know if this is confirmed,

01:11:08.120 that Trump doesn't want former generals on his national security team, prefers business people and CEOs.

01:11:15.060 Oh, boy, do I love that.

01:11:17.820 Imagine the signal that you're sending to other countries.

01:11:20.480 If your national security team is generals, the signal is, you know, war is our go-to.

01:11:29.020 If your national security team are businessmen and CEOs, then your first question is, wait a minute, how do we do business with these guys?

01:11:38.820 Can we set up some trade?

01:11:40.600 Can we get rid of our tariffs?

01:11:44.460 So, I love the signaling of having the people who want you to be rich to be in charge of your future.

01:11:52.300 The generals, you need them.

01:11:55.020 You know, there's time for them.

01:11:56.120 We need them.

01:11:57.200 But maybe not as our face to the rest of the world.

01:12:01.900 Maybe our face should be business and our backup should be bullets. 0.62

01:12:06.100 According to The Hill, RFK Jr. says that maybe entire departments at the FDA have to go.

01:12:15.500 This, of course, made some dentists in the comments say, I tell you as a dentist that if the FDA departments are, you know, degraded, that people will die because the FDA is keeping us safe.

01:12:27.880 To which I say, let me explain this to people who do not have a experience in business.

01:12:36.700 When people who have experience in business say things like, quote, entire departments need to go, that does not mean that the function that they did is going to disappear.

01:12:51.320 You'd have to have no experience in the real world to think that getting rid of a department equals getting rid of what they do.

01:12:59.180 Those are different.

01:13:00.040 The whole point of reorganizing is to still do the main mission of the organization to keep you safe, but to do it in an efficient, better engineered way where there's not, you know, cross communication, where the person in charge is qualified, you know, the ordinary stuff.

01:13:17.720 So, no, getting rid of departments has nothing to do with getting rid of functions.

01:13:23.980 Did Twitter get rid of functions?

01:13:26.020 No.

01:13:26.700 Twitter got rid of 80% of its employees and doubled its features.

01:13:30.780 That's what it means to get rid of departments.

01:13:37.140 More features.

01:13:38.620 So, the FDA would get better, not worse.

01:13:41.880 You know, so don't get upset on the getting rid of whole departments.

01:13:44.800 And, by the way, that's the way the real important people think.

01:13:51.800 The way Elon Musk is going to, and I can say this without reading his mind, I can safely say this because above a certain level of intelligence, it would be a universally true thing to say, and he's way above that level.

01:14:05.360 Above a certain level of intelligence, I can say for sure that when Elon's looking at paring back the government, he's not looking at getting rid of stuff he like.

01:14:18.380 He's looking at doing it cheaper, better, and if he can't do that, he probably wouldn't change that thing.

01:14:24.600 So, he's not going to go and say, let me change things because I'll make it smaller.

01:14:29.140 He's going to go in and say, look at each thing.

01:14:31.700 Does this thing make sense?

01:14:32.980 Does it make sense as a standalone?

01:14:35.200 Is there a way you could do it at 10% of the cost?

01:14:37.820 Would it make sense to fold it into a different organization and get rid of all the management?

01:14:42.600 So, he's going to ask those questions.

01:14:44.480 Why do I know that?

01:14:47.440 Because of how smart he is.

01:14:49.280 100% of the people who are above a certain level would do it that way.

01:14:54.600 They'll all do it that way.

01:14:56.260 Like, the dumb way would be, let's cut 20% off of everything.

01:15:00.000 So, he's not going to do it that way. 0.72

01:15:01.500 You don't have to worry about it.

01:15:04.640 I see some articles that are already suggesting Musk will be the most powerful single citizen in the country because of his, not only his wealth, but his access to the government through his good work with Trump.

01:15:19.940 And I would, it made me think of this definition of charisma, which I love to go back to.

01:15:28.640 It's not my own definition.

01:15:29.920 But one definition of charisma is it's power plus empathy.

01:15:36.480 And I've explained this before.

01:15:38.300 If somebody has power, but you think they don't care about you, you want to stay away from them.

01:15:43.780 Because of all that power, it could be dangerous to you as long as if they don't have your best interests in mind.

01:15:49.320 If somebody has empathy, but no power, you might want to stay away from them too.

01:15:55.300 Because they're not going to do too well, and they're probably going to need your help.

01:15:59.580 But if you have empathy, I suppose you'll help anyway.

01:16:02.280 But if you have tremendous power, as Elon Musk does, and it's matched with tremendous empathy for people, which I believe is unmatched.

01:16:13.360 Well, it's unbeaten.

01:16:15.500 I won't say unmatched.

01:16:16.340 He leads with people first, right?

01:16:21.900 Even when he talks about sending rockets to Mars, his message is to, you know, expand the light of human consciousness.

01:16:30.760 So in his, the way he talks about it, and I think in his mind as well, it's not fake, that he thinks people first.

01:16:38.500 And you see it in everything he does.

01:16:40.220 It's like people, people, people.

01:16:41.960 I make machines for people, people, people.

01:16:45.040 But it's people.

01:16:46.340 So if you give me the most powerful man in the country, and you give me somebody who's got a very clear record of empathy, oh, my God, I'm all in.

01:16:59.720 I'm all in.

01:17:01.980 So, yes, Godspeed, Elon Musk.

01:17:06.560 Make it happen.

01:17:08.760 I would like to read to you a longish piece by David Sachs, entitled Why Trump Won.

01:17:17.340 I'm just going to read it because he wrote it so well.

01:17:21.560 Matches everything I was thinking.

01:17:23.760 So just listen to this beautiful piece of writing from David Sachs, from the All In podcast.

01:17:29.120 You know him.

01:17:30.300 Why Trump Won.

01:17:31.500 While the legacy media has a meltdown searching for hitherto undiagnosed psychoses in the electorate to explain its embrace of a Hitlerian strongman, the truth is much simpler than their fictions.

01:17:44.180 This election is a reminder that after all the manufactured drama and overheated rhetoric, politics is still about issues.

01:17:52.720 Whether you agreed with him or not, Trump ran a substantive campaign based on issues like the border, inflation, crime, and war.

01:18:00.520 True.

01:18:00.680 Harris ran on vibes, celebrity endorsements, name-calling, convicted felon and fascist, debunked hoaxes, very fine people, and platitudes, democracy.

01:18:11.380 She would neither defend the Biden-Harris record nor say that what she would do differently.

01:18:15.640 When she did talk about the specific issues, they were often stolen from Trump, like child tax credits, no tax and tips, border funding.

01:18:27.840 On this one issue where Democrats had an advantage, abortion, Trump definitely got ahead of the issue by rejecting a national ban and removing problematic language from the GOP platform.

01:18:39.720 He did.

01:18:40.020 Harris wore out the issue by blatantly lying about Trump's position and by exhibiting her own party's extremism.

01:18:47.820 Nobody needed to see an abortion truck at the DNC. 1.00

01:18:51.080 While Trump expanded his coalition with MAHA, Make America Healthy Again, and DOGE, the government efficiency thing,

01:18:59.540 Harris concluded her ersatz campaign by going all in on demonizing her opponent, pretending Madison Square Garden was a Nazi convention. 0.96

01:19:07.280 The fact that voters saw through it should be reassuring, even if you don't agree with the result.

01:19:14.320 Voters want to know how a candidate will give them a better life, and increasingly, they have learned to tune out the rest as noise.

01:19:21.180 While the legacy media creates excuses and impugns the motives of voters to explain why Trump won, the reason is simple.

01:19:29.540 Trump is a candidate who spoke to voters' concerns directly. 1.00

01:19:34.160 It's the issues, stupid. 1.00

01:19:37.280 What do you think? 1.00

01:19:39.400 Was it the issues?

01:19:42.560 I think it was.

01:19:44.500 I think it was.

01:19:46.000 I think it was actually the issues.

01:19:48.700 And somehow the legacy media missed that, that citizens cared about the issues.

01:19:55.140 Now, do you know why the media missed it?

01:19:57.920 The mainstream media thought that they still controlled how people think.

01:20:02.680 This was the year they found out they don't, especially young people.

01:20:07.360 Especially men.

01:20:09.000 Found out that they weren't getting their news from watching the talking ladies get angry on TV. 0.95

01:20:14.580 So it turns out that the issues drove that, and that people don't believe the news anymore, so they just looked at the issues.

01:20:24.960 Did I have more money under Trump?

01:20:26.780 Yes.

01:20:27.400 The most common thing I see, whenever I see, especially black men, when they're interviewed on the street, you know, why do you like Trump?

01:20:35.120 Almost every time they say, I had more money under Trump.

01:20:39.600 Now, I don't even know if that's true.

01:20:41.500 But certainly they have that point of view.

01:20:43.980 All right, here's some potentially amazing news.

01:20:49.260 Science blog says there's a sensor that could detect lung cancer just by breathing on it.

01:20:55.020 That's cool.

01:20:55.660 So the sooner you get it, the sooner you can treat it, I guess.

01:20:59.420 There's not too much you can do with lung cancer, but sooner is better.

01:21:03.580 And apparently there's some kind of California law that got passed, or I don't know what you call it, but some ballot proposition that got passed that makes it okay to marry anybody you want.

01:21:15.560 And the critics are worried that people are going to start marrying their dogs, to which I say, if the dog doesn't mind, is that really any of my business?

01:21:27.520 I mean, as long as the dog is happy.

01:21:29.940 But if the dog is coerced into it, then I say, no, no coercing dogs.

01:21:35.300 Well, I'm not too worried that dogs and people will marry, but if they want to.

01:21:38.860 Well, as long as their dog doesn't poop on my lawn, no, as long as their spouse doesn't poop on my lawn, it's okay with me.

01:21:52.800 All right, ladies and gentlemen, the Dilbert calendar is for sale at Dilbert.com, the only place you can find the link to buy it.

01:22:00.180 And if you'd like to know more about persuasion relative to politics, my book, Windingley, the second edition.

01:22:07.040 So it's lightly edited from the first.

01:22:10.120 It's available, too.

01:22:11.280 That one's on Amazon, so you can find that easily.

01:22:14.920 And that's all I've got for you today.

01:22:16.960 I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately because they're awesome.

01:22:22.740 And I will see you all tomorrow, same time, same place.
