Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2658 CWSA 11⧸13⧸24

00:00:00.000 but I know why you're here.

00:00:02.640 You're here for a show.

00:00:09.920 And as soon as I got my comments working,

00:00:13.760 we're going to give you one.

00:00:15.360 It's going to be amazing.

00:00:17.560 Best you've ever seen.

00:00:20.400 There we go.

00:00:28.340 Stream on in here, will you?

00:00:30.000 Boom, boom, boom, boom.

00:00:33.080 The golden age is about to begin.

00:00:37.540 Good morning, everybody,

00:00:39.140 and welcome to the highlight of human civilization

00:00:41.800 in the midst of the burgeoning golden age.

00:00:47.100 If you think this is the top experience you could possibly have,

00:00:50.900 well, you might be wrong,

00:00:52.500 because there's a way to take this experience up to levels

00:00:56.160 that nobody can even understand

00:00:57.900 with their tiny, shiny human brains.

00:01:00.700 For that, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass,

00:01:03.080 a tank or chalice or stein,

00:01:04.520 a canteen jug or flask,

00:01:06.080 a vessel of any kind.

00:01:07.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:09.640 I like coffee.

00:01:11.140 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:13.560 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:14.720 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:16.820 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:01:18.800 It happens now.

00:01:20.180 It happens now.

00:01:20.820 Go.

00:01:25.840 Oh, that's good.

00:01:29.060 That's good.

00:01:33.060 Well, today's the day.

00:01:35.160 Congress is going to hear from some UAP testimonies.

00:01:41.540 You know, the UAPs that used to be UFOs,

00:01:44.280 that used to be hoaxes,

00:01:46.640 but now people think that not only are there magical devices

00:01:51.560 flying through the air,

00:01:52.800 but the ocean is probably just full of them,

00:01:55.960 full of them, UAPs. 0.97

00:01:58.120 Now, I don't know what we're going to find out about the UAPs.

00:02:01.380 Um, uh, I'm going to go on record with my prediction.

00:02:06.820 My prediction is there's no such thing as UAPs.

00:02:12.080 No, well, let me put it this way.

00:02:14.480 My prediction is there's no other intelligent entity

00:02:18.120 operating advanced vehicles,

00:02:20.480 either in the ocean or the atmosphere of the world.

00:02:25.200 I don't believe it.

00:02:26.620 Not even a little bit.

00:02:28.060 I'm not even slightly like leaning toward it or anything.

00:02:30.840 I don't think there's any truth to it.

00:02:33.620 Now, what is the truth?

00:02:35.240 Why is it that so many credible seeming people

00:02:38.340 believe they've seen something?

00:02:40.360 They probably have seen something.

00:02:42.460 I just think it's probably some kind of illusion

00:02:46.080 or, you know, mechanical error or, you know,

00:02:49.740 in a few cases, maybe people have false memories.

00:02:53.620 Um, they're different situations,

00:02:54.840 but the only thing I'm sure of is that it's not real.

00:02:58.760 However, if you're following the Dilbert comic strip,

00:03:03.780 I can guarantee you that Dogbert will be having some joy rides

00:03:07.580 in his UAP.

00:03:09.760 And, uh, well, I'll give you the cartoon version

00:03:12.620 of what's happening.

00:03:13.680 And that's only if you're subscribing at the locals,

00:03:17.080 at locals, scottadams.locals.com,

00:03:19.620 or you're following Dilbert on the X platform

00:03:22.580 if you're subscribing.

00:03:23.740 Here's, uh, some news from Neuroscience News.

00:03:28.380 Did you know that chronic inflammation

00:03:29.780 is linked to depression?

00:03:32.220 Not just that the depression causes the inflammation,

00:03:35.880 but rather the inflammation

00:03:36.960 seems to cause the depression.

00:03:39.940 Now, they could have done that study,

00:03:41.600 or they could have just asked me,

00:03:42.940 because I've been telling you for a while,

00:03:44.660 that, hey, I think inflammation is causing depression.

00:03:48.140 How many of you heard that from me

00:03:51.240 before there was a study that says,

00:03:54.080 you know what?

00:03:55.260 Inflammation seems to cause depression.

00:03:58.060 Now, in addition to inflammation causing depression,

00:04:01.820 I'm pretty sure that just energy in general,

00:04:05.600 just your health in general,

00:04:07.220 but also your energy,

00:04:08.660 is probably linked to depression.

00:04:10.540 That seems pretty clear to me.

00:04:15.620 Now, again, this comes under the category

00:04:17.640 of your brain,

00:04:18.940 your body is your brain, right?

00:04:21.940 There was some study I didn't tell you about

00:04:23.900 that had some idea that memory is stored

00:04:26.780 in other parts of your body, okay?

00:04:30.280 But if you know that the other parts of your body

00:04:32.940 can affect how your brain is thinking,

00:04:36.000 and that seems to be the case,

00:04:37.920 just think of your body as your brain.

00:04:39.840 So when I,

00:04:41.660 there was a strategy I had when I was very young

00:04:43.980 that if I had a lifelong habit of exercise,

00:04:48.140 I would be smarter when I was older.

00:04:52.200 That was literally a lifetime strategy.

00:04:55.680 So in my teens, probably,

00:04:59.060 probably in my teens,

00:05:00.240 I decided that I didn't want to be dumb

00:05:03.520 and have mental problems when I'm 60.

00:05:07.640 So I said,

00:05:08.380 huh, you mean all I have to do

00:05:09.880 is exercise on a regular basis,

00:05:11.880 which I kind of like anyway,

00:05:14.040 and then my brain will be better

00:05:15.640 for the last part of my life?

00:05:17.680 Yes.

00:05:18.600 Yes, that's exactly what works.

00:05:23.660 Also, there's an app.

00:05:26.080 Neuroscience News says that

00:05:27.480 somebody tested an app

00:05:29.120 that would keep you from ruminating,

00:05:32.340 ruminating, you know,

00:05:33.420 thinking about yourself and your problems.

00:05:35.060 Well, we have found that

00:05:36.580 that also reduces depression.

00:05:39.760 So the more you think about people

00:05:41.600 and things outside yourself,

00:05:43.560 the happier you will be.

00:05:45.740 Now, I've said this a few times,

00:05:47.500 but I don't know if you,

00:05:48.560 if you can realize how deep this is

00:05:50.920 as an explanation of our political situation.

00:05:57.240 Does it seem to you

00:05:58.340 that Republicans are like happy warriors?

00:06:00.280 And does it seem to you

00:06:02.780 that the Democrats seem,

00:06:04.840 and again, this is oversimplification

00:06:06.860 and, you know, stereotype.

00:06:08.920 So it doesn't apply

00:06:09.900 to every single person, obviously.

00:06:11.840 But it doesn't seem to you

00:06:13.140 that on average,

00:06:14.660 the Democrats seem sad and depressed.

00:06:17.700 And indeed,

00:06:19.140 there's evidence shows

00:06:20.160 that they have far more therapy,

00:06:22.400 far more prescription drugs

00:06:24.340 to help them with their mental problems.

00:06:25.980 Now, if the only thing I told you was

00:06:29.020 that the Republicans are focused

00:06:33.320 on the well-being of their family,

00:06:35.540 they're focused on their God,

00:06:37.840 and they're focused on their country.

00:06:40.440 Those are all external.

00:06:43.100 Those are the three healthiest things

00:06:44.740 you could ever think about.

00:06:46.100 Thinking about your family's well-being,

00:06:48.580 your God,

00:06:49.960 and your country.

00:06:52.260 That's like a recipe

00:06:53.540 for good mental health right there.

00:06:56.340 Now, take the Democrat approach,

00:07:00.480 that identity is sort of

00:07:01.900 the beginning place,

00:07:03.700 you know, the beginning of your journey.

00:07:05.700 And then everything is about

00:07:06.820 what's different about you.

00:07:09.260 Ooh, what's different about my experience?

00:07:11.660 Let's talk about my lived experience.

00:07:14.440 It's all about you,

00:07:16.000 which we know

00:07:17.060 gives you mental health problems. 0.65

00:07:19.800 Now, let's not pretend

00:07:21.660 that there's any mystery

00:07:22.840 about this anymore.

00:07:23.840 This is a very clean,

00:07:26.340 scientifically,

00:07:28.380 completely

00:07:29.320 supported opinion.

00:07:33.440 Am I wrong?

00:07:35.060 I'd love to see in the comments

00:07:36.520 whether that's resonating.

00:07:38.000 That the Republican point of view

00:07:39.920 is external,

00:07:41.440 and they tend to be happy warriors,

00:07:43.520 just like the science says they should.

00:07:45.040 And then the narcissistic

00:07:49.120 and let's not have any kids

00:07:51.540 and I'm going to shave my head

00:07:53.140 because everything is about me

00:07:55.000 and it's about my identity

00:07:57.080 and that those people

00:07:58.560 are depressed as hell

00:07:59.620 and they don't understand

00:08:01.040 even what's happening in the world.

00:08:02.420 They're like,

00:08:02.780 why are things happening like this?

00:08:04.460 That might be your whole explanation.

00:08:08.840 So,

00:08:09.300 imagine if you would,

00:08:12.400 people always ask me,

00:08:13.600 Scott,

00:08:13.980 you're a hypnotist

00:08:15.520 and you talk about persuasion.

00:08:17.360 How can we

00:08:18.380 persuade the people

00:08:19.800 on the left

00:08:20.480 to be less crazy?

00:08:23.660 And really,

00:08:24.360 it is crazy

00:08:25.060 because even their point of view

00:08:27.140 about how to do policy,

00:08:28.760 you look at it

00:08:29.440 and you go,

00:08:30.060 I don't know,

00:08:30.580 that looks a little crazy.

00:08:31.640 I'm not even sure

00:08:32.520 that's worth discussing.

00:08:34.660 So,

00:08:35.360 suppose the way you

00:08:36.920 would suppose,

00:08:38.660 I'll just put this out

00:08:39.620 as a hypothesis,

00:08:41.140 suppose the way you helped

00:08:42.480 the people on the left

00:08:43.600 is not to try to talk

00:08:44.980 about their political opinions

00:08:46.600 because you know

00:08:47.720 that's a waste of time,

00:08:48.720 right?

00:08:49.560 Suppose the only thing you did

00:08:51.160 was train them

00:08:52.260 to think externally

00:08:53.220 and train them

00:08:55.680 to put their interests

00:08:57.960 outside of their own body.

00:08:59.900 What would happen?

00:09:02.300 Would they turn

00:09:03.180 into Republicans automatically

00:09:04.640 and then they wouldn't

00:09:05.360 even know why?

00:09:07.200 I don't know.

00:09:08.720 But if it made them happier,

00:09:10.680 that'd be worth doing.

00:09:12.900 You know,

00:09:13.600 let me say this clearly

00:09:16.500 in case there's even

00:09:17.740 one Democrat listening.

00:09:20.980 As much as we have fun

00:09:22.320 with politics

00:09:22.980 and, you know,

00:09:23.520 it's fun to dunk

00:09:24.300 on the other team and stuff

00:09:25.480 because there's a team sport

00:09:26.580 part to the politics,

00:09:27.660 I really do want

00:09:28.580 the Democrats to do well.

00:09:29.820 Well, let me say that

00:09:31.120 unambiguously.

00:09:33.780 In my perfect world,

00:09:36.080 the Democrats are thriving.

00:09:37.980 They're getting everything

00:09:38.980 they want,

00:09:40.320 you know,

00:09:40.560 that doesn't hurt me

00:09:41.460 and they're having

00:09:43.340 a terrific time with life.

00:09:45.400 That's what I want.

00:09:46.780 So let's see

00:09:47.660 if we can get there.

00:09:48.280 So now we have

00:09:50.100 several ways

00:09:51.540 to reduce depression.

00:09:53.540 We know exercise does it.

00:09:55.480 We know thinking

00:09:56.460 about yourself less

00:09:57.860 is good for your mental health.

00:09:59.720 Reducing inflammation

00:10:00.620 is good.

00:10:02.540 Somebody said some things

00:10:03.660 about diet.

00:10:04.400 That's probably good too.

00:10:06.100 Meanwhile,

00:10:06.660 over in China,

00:10:07.640 they have not only developed

00:10:09.000 military robot dogs,

00:10:12.380 but they're training

00:10:13.280 their military robot dogs

00:10:15.200 to operate like a wolf pack.

00:10:17.600 so that the military dogs

00:10:21.820 will operate,

00:10:23.500 you know,

00:10:23.920 in a coordinated fashion.

00:10:26.300 I can't think of

00:10:27.700 too many things

00:10:29.680 scarier than

00:10:31.100 robot dog wolves.

00:10:34.140 That just sounds like

00:10:35.460 the scariest thing

00:10:36.360 you could think of.

00:10:37.140 Because if a real wolf pack

00:10:39.440 attacked you,

00:10:40.560 you would at least

00:10:41.460 have some chance

00:10:42.460 of using psychology

00:10:43.760 against it,

00:10:45.060 right?

00:10:45.840 Like,

00:10:46.320 suppose a real wolf pack

00:10:47.560 came after you.

00:10:49.020 You'd like,

00:10:49.420 maybe you'd fire a gun

00:10:50.560 and scare them away.

00:10:53.220 You know,

00:10:53.380 maybe there'd be a fire

00:10:55.080 or something.

00:10:55.960 You could,

00:10:56.320 you know,

00:10:56.620 wave the fire at them

00:10:58.340 and scare them away.

00:10:59.600 You know,

00:10:59.880 there might be some psychology

00:11:01.160 you could use with wolves,

00:11:02.480 but you're not going

00:11:04.080 to use any psychology

00:11:05.020 with a robot wolf pack.

00:11:07.700 If that stuff comes out,

00:11:08.940 you might as well

00:11:09.880 just make your peace

00:11:11.460 with the world.

00:11:13.540 The only thing

00:11:14.340 I'm worried about

00:11:14.960 is can they swim?

00:11:16.760 If they can't swim,

00:11:18.360 the United States

00:11:19.200 has a few more good years

00:11:20.380 ahead of it.

00:11:20.980 But if those robot dogs

00:11:23.900 start swimming toward,

00:11:25.100 from mainland China

00:11:27.120 toward California,

00:11:28.940 I'm going to start running.

00:11:31.300 All right,

00:11:31.980 there's a new technology

00:11:33.360 that turns the jet engines

00:11:35.000 more efficient.

00:11:36.680 It uses electricity

00:11:37.760 to directly create thrusts.

00:11:41.740 So,

00:11:42.580 normally electricity

00:11:44.140 doesn't create

00:11:45.140 jet engine thrust,

00:11:47.460 but now they've got a way

00:11:48.920 to do it

00:11:49.400 with plasma.

00:11:50.980 But I was reading

00:11:51.880 through the technique

00:11:53.480 of how they did it,

00:11:54.440 and I realized

00:11:55.060 that the technology

00:11:57.620 was written

00:11:58.260 like a porn novel.

00:12:00.700 So,

00:12:01.220 I'm going to read you

00:12:01.900 the technology involved

00:12:03.160 in turning electricity

00:12:04.140 into a plasma jet engine,

00:12:06.940 but I'm going to read it

00:12:08.340 like it's a sexual piece.

00:12:11.900 Okay?

00:12:12.440 You ready for this?

00:12:16.600 Ionization.

00:12:18.520 Inside the chamber,

00:12:19.780 the high-frequency microwaves

00:12:21.740 excite the air molecules,

00:12:24.320 stripping electrons

00:12:25.560 from the atoms

00:12:26.280 and creating a plasma state.

00:12:29.360 The resulting plasma

00:12:30.840 reaches temperatures

00:12:32.160 exceeding several thousand

00:12:33.760 degrees Celsius.

00:12:35.340 And then comes

00:12:36.300 the jet thrust.

00:12:38.200 The high-temperature plasma

00:12:39.800 rapidly expands

00:12:41.500 as it exits

00:12:42.940 the ionization chamber.

00:12:44.880 The expansion

00:12:46.160 produces a jet thrust

00:12:48.600 capable of lifting

00:12:50.380 a one-kilogram steel ball,

00:12:53.400 demonstrating thrust

00:12:54.600 comparable to

00:12:55.880 conventional jet engines.

00:13:02.380 Whoa.

00:13:03.420 That's some good technology

00:13:05.060 right there.

00:13:06.400 Oh,

00:13:06.840 wow,

00:13:07.380 wow.

00:13:08.040 Okay.

00:13:08.840 Concentrate, Scott.

00:13:09.880 Concentrate.

00:13:10.440 Well, the Daniel Penney trial

00:13:14.640 continues.

00:13:15.260 The hero who stopped

00:13:18.680 a dangerous man

00:13:20.100 from hurting people

00:13:20.840 on a subway.

00:13:23.600 And the witness

00:13:24.480 who helped him

00:13:25.500 most closely,

00:13:27.120 the person who helped

00:13:27.960 Daniel Penney

00:13:28.820 hold down the other guy, 0.92

00:13:31.360 is giving some testimony

00:13:33.300 that seems very positive.

00:13:34.980 And that that guy

00:13:36.900 did not seem to see,

00:13:38.540 he did not say

00:13:39.800 or observe

00:13:41.360 that he was,

00:13:43.220 that Penney was holding him

00:13:44.320 in a dangerous way.

00:13:45.600 In fact,

00:13:46.600 at one point,

00:13:47.320 he meant he,

00:13:48.140 he was helping him

00:13:49.780 hold the arms

00:13:50.420 so he could hold him looser.

00:13:51.840 And at one point,

00:13:52.720 he said,

00:13:53.180 maybe,

00:13:53.600 maybe he should hold him tighter.

00:13:55.640 So there was one

00:13:56.720 very close witness

00:13:57.940 who literally was hands-on,

00:14:00.760 you know,

00:14:00.960 holding the same body

00:14:02.020 at the same time,

00:14:02.880 who was as close

00:14:04.480 to Daniel Penney

00:14:05.400 as I am to my microphone.

00:14:07.600 And in his opinion,

00:14:08.760 he wasn't holding him

00:14:09.820 so tight

00:14:10.420 that it was some

00:14:10.940 dangerous situation.

00:14:12.560 Now,

00:14:13.400 how does he not go free?

00:14:17.960 Seriously.

00:14:18.940 The guy who was

00:14:20.120 on the body

00:14:21.220 at the same time,

00:14:22.240 who was charged

00:14:22.760 with nothing

00:14:23.340 because the other guy

00:14:24.400 was holding his hands,

00:14:25.320 right?

00:14:27.100 That's the only person

00:14:28.080 I want to hear from.

00:14:30.100 If the person

00:14:31.040 who was on the body

00:14:32.320 now that guy,

00:14:34.300 first of all,

00:14:35.480 that guy deserves credit

00:14:37.080 because he got involved.

00:14:38.940 He could have been charged.

00:14:41.340 I'm not in,

00:14:42.300 I'm not exactly sure

00:14:43.240 why he wasn't

00:14:43.940 because if Daniel Penney

00:14:46.100 was holding the guy

00:14:46.980 in a deadly way,

00:14:48.980 the person who was helping him

00:14:50.840 hold him in a deadly way,

00:14:53.260 it feels like

00:14:55.420 that should be chargeable.

00:14:57.460 I'm glad it isn't.

00:14:59.020 I'm very glad it isn't.

00:15:00.840 But if that's the guy,

00:15:03.760 because he's credible,

00:15:05.180 right?

00:15:05.920 The guy who steps in

00:15:07.320 to help,

00:15:08.580 because he stepped in

00:15:09.800 to help not just

00:15:10.640 the people on the,

00:15:11.740 you know,

00:15:11.980 the people who are

00:15:12.520 threatened on the train,

00:15:13.660 he stepped in to help

00:15:14.560 the guy who was the victim

00:15:15.440 because holding his hands

00:15:17.640 was the safest thing

00:15:18.800 you could have done

00:15:19.420 to the victim.

00:15:19.920 So that guy

00:15:21.700 has credibility with me.

00:15:24.240 He's no,

00:15:25.580 no evidence

00:15:26.380 that he's a liar, 0.86

00:15:28.080 no evidence

00:15:28.920 he has the wrong motivations.

00:15:31.220 And his,

00:15:32.100 the evidence shows

00:15:32.840 that he wants

00:15:33.960 to get involved

00:15:34.580 for the public

00:15:35.280 to benefit the public.

00:15:37.080 I'll listen to him.

00:15:38.900 So I got to tell you,

00:15:41.020 the golden age

00:15:41.760 is waiting

00:15:42.180 for one more penny

00:15:43.060 to drop.

00:15:44.840 You know what I mean?

00:15:46.660 I feel like the golden age

00:15:48.440 is going to happen,

00:15:49.920 but we need this.

00:15:52.420 The golden age,

00:15:53.160 the golden age requires

00:15:54.500 that Daniel Penny

00:15:55.460 goes free.

00:15:56.660 So let's drop

00:15:57.560 the final penny

00:15:58.360 on this, huh?

00:15:59.660 Let's do this.

00:16:01.600 I'm depending on you,

00:16:03.000 jury.

00:16:05.100 Core inflation

00:16:05.820 is exactly what

00:16:06.780 people estimated

00:16:07.460 at 3.3.

00:16:08.700 That's about

00:16:09.420 a non-story.

00:16:11.120 It's just staying

00:16:11.660 where it was.

00:16:12.640 Now, prices are too high.

00:16:14.060 Of course,

00:16:14.480 on the news,

00:16:14.960 they like to confuse you.

00:16:16.880 The current inflation

00:16:18.000 is not too terrible,

00:16:20.260 but we'd already

00:16:21.680 reached a level

00:16:22.460 where you can't

00:16:23.180 afford your eggs.

00:16:24.400 So another 3%

00:16:25.480 on that

00:16:26.000 is not going

00:16:26.640 to help you at all.

00:16:28.020 So it's not really

00:16:29.500 that helpful

00:16:30.200 that inflation rate

00:16:31.880 has stopped

00:16:33.920 going up fast.

00:16:35.720 You also need

00:16:37.080 the prices

00:16:38.480 to come down.

00:16:40.700 All right.

00:16:42.060 According to

00:16:43.180 financial expert

00:16:45.100 Ed Dowd,

00:16:46.220 Zero Hedge

00:16:46.920 is reporting this.

00:16:49.440 Ed Dowd

00:16:50.160 says that

00:16:50.800 Trump just

00:16:51.480 got handed

00:16:52.200 a turd

00:16:53.720 of an economy

00:16:54.440 in fraudulent books.

00:16:56.140 So his idea

00:16:57.220 is that he can

00:16:58.000 predict,

00:16:58.900 based on things

00:16:59.640 he's seeing already,

00:17:00.860 that the economy

00:17:01.980 is actually

00:17:02.520 in deep trouble

00:17:03.260 and the Democrats

00:17:04.560 are lucky

00:17:05.220 that they got

00:17:05.840 out of office

00:17:06.500 and Trump

00:17:07.920 is going to

00:17:08.280 have to handle it.

00:17:08.940 Now,

00:17:10.300 do you think

00:17:11.660 it's true

00:17:12.340 that there are

00:17:13.320 troubling signs

00:17:14.540 sort of below

00:17:15.900 the headline level

00:17:16.920 of the economy?

00:17:17.960 You know,

00:17:18.120 the headline is

00:17:18.860 jobs and inflation

00:17:21.100 and GDP.

00:17:22.880 But below that,

00:17:24.400 there could be

00:17:24.860 a whole bunch

00:17:25.320 of indicators

00:17:25.980 that are

00:17:27.400 kind of

00:17:28.060 sending the alarm.

00:17:31.020 Well,

00:17:32.360 yes and no.

00:17:34.920 Have you ever noticed

00:17:35.800 that economists

00:17:37.180 cannot predict

00:17:37.920 the future?

00:17:40.200 Has anybody

00:17:41.000 noticed

00:17:41.480 that economists

00:17:42.700 as a group

00:17:44.120 and even

00:17:45.240 individually

00:17:45.840 cannot predict

00:17:47.380 the future?

00:17:48.580 If they could,

00:17:50.240 they would not

00:17:51.120 be working

00:17:51.560 as economists

00:17:52.280 because they

00:17:53.380 would already

00:17:53.780 be billionaire

00:17:54.340 investors.

00:17:56.420 Right?

00:17:57.600 It would be

00:17:58.320 the easiest thing

00:17:59.080 in the world

00:17:59.600 if you really

00:18:00.780 could tell

00:18:01.340 what was going

00:18:01.800 to happen

00:18:02.080 in the future

00:18:02.700 and other people

00:18:03.380 couldn't,

00:18:04.200 you would be

00:18:04.860 Warren Buffett.

00:18:06.800 But if you're

00:18:07.600 not Warren Buffett

00:18:08.520 and you're

00:18:09.480 telling me

00:18:09.840 you can see

00:18:10.340 the future,

00:18:11.380 I've got

00:18:11.880 questions.

00:18:12.980 Like,

00:18:13.680 is it the first

00:18:14.840 time you've

00:18:15.280 ever seen

00:18:15.640 the future?

00:18:17.320 Those other

00:18:18.000 times you saw

00:18:18.540 the future,

00:18:19.120 did you invest

00:18:19.960 heavily in it?

00:18:21.920 I'm not so sure.

00:18:23.700 So I don't

00:18:24.600 trust any

00:18:25.540 economists

00:18:26.080 telling you

00:18:26.620 that they can

00:18:27.160 see the

00:18:27.840 signs.

00:18:30.220 That doesn't

00:18:31.060 mean he's wrong

00:18:31.900 because your

00:18:33.540 economy is

00:18:34.120 either going

00:18:34.560 to go up

00:18:35.140 or it's

00:18:36.000 going to

00:18:36.200 go down.

00:18:37.060 It rarely

00:18:37.660 just, you

00:18:38.200 know,

00:18:39.200 bubbles along

00:18:40.100 at the same

00:18:40.500 level.

00:18:41.120 It's an

00:18:41.460 up or down

00:18:41.920 situation.

00:18:43.240 So everybody

00:18:43.920 who says

00:18:44.420 it's going

00:18:44.760 to go up

00:18:45.240 has a good

00:18:45.820 chance of

00:18:46.260 being right.

00:18:46.780 Everybody

00:18:47.060 who says

00:18:47.520 it's going

00:18:47.820 to go down

00:18:48.360 has a pretty

00:18:48.840 good chance

00:18:49.300 of being right.

00:18:50.280 Some of

00:18:50.740 them will

00:18:51.040 be right.

00:18:52.140 Here's what

00:18:52.680 you don't

00:18:53.040 want to do.

00:18:54.540 Say, oh,

00:18:55.700 that economist

00:18:56.400 was right.

00:18:57.500 I guess I

00:18:58.060 better listen

00:18:58.560 to him the

00:18:59.040 next time.

00:19:00.340 Nope.

00:19:01.920 Nope.

00:19:02.960 No,

00:19:03.360 doesn't work

00:19:03.880 that way.

00:19:04.480 Didn't work

00:19:05.060 that way

00:19:05.420 for the

00:19:05.700 pandemic

00:19:06.080 either.

00:19:07.360 Somebody was

00:19:08.040 going to be

00:19:08.360 right and

00:19:09.140 somebody was

00:19:09.680 going to be

00:19:09.980 wrong about,

00:19:10.960 let's say,

00:19:11.220 the vaccinations

00:19:11.880 or any part

00:19:13.240 of it, the

00:19:13.920 masks, anything.

00:19:15.280 Somebody was

00:19:15.860 going to be

00:19:16.120 right because

00:19:16.540 they were

00:19:16.740 all yes,

00:19:17.160 no.

00:19:18.140 Masks work?

00:19:19.280 Yes or

00:19:19.580 no.

00:19:20.660 Vaccinations

00:19:21.060 are good for

00:19:21.940 the public at

00:19:22.560 large?

00:19:23.400 Yes or

00:19:23.740 no.

00:19:25.100 All right,

00:19:25.380 there's some

00:19:25.720 questions about

00:19:26.280 kids, but

00:19:26.740 basically these

00:19:27.420 are yes or

00:19:27.840 no questions.

00:19:30.240 Somebody's

00:19:30.640 going to be

00:19:30.920 right and

00:19:32.300 they're going

00:19:32.620 to tell you

00:19:33.040 they were

00:19:33.320 right because

00:19:33.840 they saw

00:19:34.340 the signs

00:19:34.940 and you

00:19:35.280 did not.

00:19:37.300 That doesn't

00:19:38.020 mean they

00:19:38.340 know that

00:19:38.740 that's why

00:19:39.120 they were

00:19:39.360 right.

00:19:40.060 If it's a 0.59

00:19:40.680 coin flip,

00:19:41.320 somebody's

00:19:41.780 going to be

00:19:42.060 right and

00:19:42.440 they're going

00:19:42.700 to claim

00:19:43.020 credit for

00:19:43.580 it.

00:19:43.800 So beware

00:19:44.840 of economists

00:19:45.700 who tell you

00:19:46.900 they got it

00:19:47.480 right last

00:19:48.020 time.

00:19:49.340 Doesn't mean

00:19:49.900 a thing.

00:19:50.680 Somebody was

00:19:51.340 going to get

00:19:51.720 it right and

00:19:52.500 they were

00:19:52.720 going to say

00:19:53.160 they got it

00:19:53.620 right because

00:19:54.020 they're smarter

00:19:54.520 and they can

00:19:55.800 predict it

00:19:56.220 better next

00:19:56.640 time.

00:19:56.980 It's just

00:19:57.300 not a thing.

00:19:58.500 Nobody can

00:19:58.920 see the

00:19:59.180 future.

00:21:00.760 All right, but on

00:21:02.120 that note, Bill

00:21:03.920 Ackman said, for

00:21:05.400 the contrarian

00:21:06.280 opinion, that he's

00:21:07.760 hearing from

00:21:08.340 everybody, including

00:21:09.560 people who did not

00:21:10.960 support Trump, that

00:21:12.500 they have never felt

00:21:13.460 so optimistic about

00:21:14.620 the country or the

00:21:16.260 economy.

00:21:18.120 Now, I feel

00:21:19.660 that.

00:21:20.660 I feel more

00:21:21.920 optimism about

00:21:23.080 America and about

00:21:24.880 our economy than

00:21:26.600 any time in my

00:21:27.680 life.

00:21:30.380 Now, how much

00:21:31.320 of that is just

00:21:32.940 the Trump

00:21:33.720 persuasion magic?

00:21:35.440 How much of it

00:21:36.220 is me talking

00:21:36.860 myself into it

00:21:37.800 because, you

00:21:38.400 know, it's

00:21:38.600 confirmation bias

00:21:39.620 and I want it to

00:21:40.540 be true?

00:21:41.560 And how much

00:21:42.440 of it is it's

00:21:43.240 just true?

00:21:45.080 Now, when Bill

00:21:46.240 Ackman talks to

00:21:46.960 other people,

00:21:47.840 especially the

00:21:48.460 ones who are not

00:21:49.120 Trump supporters,

00:21:50.800 if you're getting a

00:21:51.840 lot of not Trump

00:21:53.180 supporters who are

00:21:54.420 so optimistic they're

00:21:55.460 driving the stock

00:21:56.240 market up, which

00:21:57.560 they are, that is

00:21:59.740 a really strong

00:22:00.880 indication of what

00:22:01.780 the economists call

00:22:02.760 the animal spirits.

00:22:05.480 The animal spirits,

00:22:07.080 I guess, would be

00:22:08.040 best described as

00:22:09.060 just the way

00:22:10.060 everybody feels

00:22:11.060 about the future,

00:22:12.620 not their logic,

00:22:14.420 but how they feel

00:22:15.180 about it.

00:22:15.960 And the way people

00:22:16.840 feel about it is

00:22:17.960 that all possibilities

00:22:19.060 just became options.

00:22:20.680 We went from a

00:22:22.360 place where it

00:22:22.960 seemed we had no

00:22:23.800 options and no

00:22:25.080 possibilities to

00:22:27.180 anything's possible.

00:22:30.220 If Pete Hegseth can

00:22:32.340 be the Secretary of

00:22:33.400 Defense, we'll talk

00:22:35.000 about that more,

00:22:36.640 there's just one

00:22:37.280 symbol of which

00:22:39.160 there have been

00:22:39.640 many in the last

00:22:40.460 few days, that

00:22:41.560 anything's possible.

00:22:43.480 Trump wins in the

00:22:45.020 third act victory

00:22:46.520 that literally no

00:22:47.940 historian would have

00:22:48.900 predicted.

00:22:49.900 None.

00:22:51.400 Can historians tell

00:22:52.520 you the future

00:22:53.120 because they know

00:22:53.900 the past?

00:22:54.900 Do you remember

00:22:55.280 when historians

00:22:55.980 would tell you

00:22:56.720 you have to study

00:22:59.320 history because

00:23:00.640 that's how you know

00:23:01.240 what's going to

00:23:01.620 happen next?

00:23:02.820 Well, how did the

00:23:03.620 fucking historians

00:23:04.380 do?

00:23:05.440 How'd they do?

00:23:06.260 Let's do a poll of

00:23:07.180 the historians and

00:23:08.820 say, how many of you

00:23:09.640 thought Trump was

00:23:10.320 going to win another

00:23:10.980 term?

00:23:12.640 Now let's compare

00:23:13.600 it to the cartoonists.

00:23:16.180 I'm pretty sure I did

00:23:17.280 better than the

00:23:17.800 historians on this

00:23:18.680 one.

00:23:19.140 Pretty sure.

00:23:21.800 I've been telling

00:23:22.600 you for a while

00:23:23.320 that not only

00:23:24.900 would Trump be

00:23:25.620 more popular

00:23:26.480 every day he was

00:23:27.540 out of office,

00:23:29.160 true, but that

00:23:31.460 he could win

00:23:32.220 another term and

00:23:33.880 it would be the

00:23:34.460 greatest third

00:23:35.080 act of all time,

00:23:37.460 true.

00:23:39.840 I was also

00:23:40.820 reminded today

00:23:41.820 that I had

00:23:42.900 predicted at one

00:23:43.880 point that the

00:23:45.280 public had decided

00:23:46.500 decided that

00:23:47.400 whether Trump

00:23:48.100 had the goods

00:23:48.940 or didn't have

00:23:49.600 the goods to

00:23:50.260 win the election

00:23:50.880 that we were

00:23:52.100 going to drag

00:23:52.860 his fucking 0.65

00:23:53.520 body across

00:23:54.360 the finish

00:23:55.720 line and

00:23:57.240 that happened

00:23:58.720 too.

00:24:00.260 You saw that

00:24:01.340 the public

00:24:02.020 sort of

00:24:03.220 almost like

00:24:04.780 a body

00:24:06.860 with white

00:24:07.580 blood cells

00:24:08.300 attacking the

00:24:09.580 cancer or

00:24:10.280 protecting part of

00:24:11.560 the body.

00:24:11.900 It was almost

00:24:12.760 like the immune

00:24:14.260 system of the

00:24:15.420 country gathered

00:24:16.900 around Trump

00:24:17.780 somehow kept him

00:24:19.540 alive even when

00:24:20.840 bullets were going

00:24:22.620 past his head.

00:24:23.420 That part was

00:24:23.880 luck.

00:24:25.520 But between the

00:24:26.600 Musks and the

00:24:27.640 Viveks and the

00:24:28.520 JD advances and

00:24:29.620 the everybody else,

00:24:33.080 I don't have to

00:24:33.560 name all the names,

00:24:34.360 the RFK Jr.,

00:24:35.160 etc., Tulsi Gabbard,

00:24:36.660 you know the names.

00:24:37.620 But you saw

00:24:39.680 the most

00:24:40.620 credible people

00:24:41.660 in your

00:24:42.720 online world

00:24:43.960 one by one

00:24:45.880 all turned

00:24:47.740 to Trump.

00:24:49.180 And I believe

00:24:49.720 that we all

00:24:50.180 had a common

00:24:50.900 thought,

00:24:52.220 which is that,

00:24:53.660 you know,

00:24:53.940 and I hate it

00:24:54.560 when people say

00:24:55.200 this.

00:24:55.980 I almost feel

00:24:57.120 like I shouldn't,

00:24:57.920 but I'm going

00:24:58.900 to say it.

00:24:59.580 But I'm going

00:25:00.020 to be disgusted

00:25:00.780 by myself when

00:25:01.720 I say it,

00:25:02.460 so if that

00:25:02.940 helps.

00:25:04.940 Yes,

00:25:05.960 Trump might

00:25:06.580 have some

00:25:07.140 flaws,

00:25:07.620 stop it,

00:25:11.220 stop it.

00:25:12.980 All right,

00:25:13.400 I hate myself

00:25:14.040 for saying that.

00:25:14.940 It's just,

00:25:15.440 it's the NPC

00:25:16.140 thing to say.

00:25:18.720 Oh,

00:25:19.220 he's got some

00:25:19.860 flaws.

00:25:20.860 I don't like

00:25:21.740 every single

00:25:22.400 thing that he

00:25:23.000 does.

00:25:23.960 So I hate it.

00:25:25.220 I hate it

00:25:25.820 when people,

00:25:26.560 you know,

00:25:27.280 line up their

00:25:27.980 compliment by

00:25:29.060 saying he's

00:25:30.300 got flaws.

00:25:30.920 Can we just

00:25:31.420 stipulate?

00:25:32.460 How about we

00:25:32.880 just stipulate

00:25:33.580 nobody's perfect

00:25:34.420 and just get

00:25:36.360 past that?

00:25:36.900 All right.

00:25:37.940 That being

00:25:38.560 said,

00:25:39.460 I believe that

00:25:40.440 the people who

00:25:41.200 decided to

00:25:42.160 throw it all

00:25:42.920 in with him

00:25:43.440 and really risk

00:25:44.120 everything,

00:25:45.000 risk everything

00:25:45.680 to get this

00:25:47.240 done,

00:25:47.940 I believe that

00:25:49.200 we thought it

00:25:50.980 needed to be

00:25:51.480 done.

00:25:52.980 And I think

00:25:54.120 that's what

00:25:54.620 binds the

00:25:55.960 people who

00:25:56.920 kind of

00:25:58.040 belatedly came

00:25:58.860 to Trump.

00:25:59.720 It wasn't

00:26:00.520 about Trump.

00:26:02.320 It's not

00:26:03.100 about Trump.

00:26:04.520 And it's

00:26:05.200 not about

00:26:05.620 us.

00:26:07.260 It's about

00:26:08.020 the country.

00:26:09.080 And this

00:26:09.640 is real.

00:26:10.680 This is real

00:26:11.720 love for

00:26:12.220 a country

00:26:12.640 that you

00:26:13.740 saw

00:26:14.100 spontaneously,

00:26:16.120 you know,

00:26:17.000 suppressed for

00:26:17.740 so long,

00:26:18.540 but it

00:26:19.320 couldn't be

00:26:19.740 stopped.

00:26:20.580 So the

00:26:21.520 love and

00:26:22.660 optimism of

00:26:23.520 the American

00:26:24.020 people,

00:26:25.200 eventually,

00:26:26.680 like the

00:26:27.240 flower growing

00:26:28.420 through the

00:26:29.040 crack in the

00:26:29.860 concrete sidewalk,

00:26:31.580 it just was

00:26:32.540 unstoppable.

00:26:33.660 There wasn't

00:26:34.120 any way to

00:26:34.580 stop it.

00:26:35.940 And so,

00:26:36.660 I do believe

00:26:38.140 that although

00:26:38.640 Trump is

00:26:39.460 the,

00:26:39.980 you know,

00:26:41.040 the best

00:26:42.040 persuader,

00:26:44.280 most

00:26:44.600 consequential

00:26:47.680 leader of

00:26:48.840 our time,

00:26:49.980 that you

00:26:50.700 still need

00:26:51.340 it.

00:26:52.040 You still

00:26:53.000 needed all

00:26:54.000 of that

00:26:54.380 American

00:26:54.820 spirit to

00:26:56.560 drag him

00:26:57.080 across the

00:26:57.780 finish line.

00:27:00.060 And we

00:27:00.560 did.

00:27:01.580 So what I

00:27:02.280 like about

00:27:02.780 it is that

00:27:03.380 it was the

00:27:04.060 cleanest

00:27:04.740 incentive I've

00:27:05.980 ever seen.

00:27:08.000 In 2016,

00:27:09.520 it really

00:27:09.860 felt like

00:27:10.520 Democrats

00:27:11.760 versus

00:27:12.180 Republicans.

00:27:13.580 In 2020,

00:27:14.920 it felt even

00:27:15.580 more like

00:27:16.220 Democrats

00:27:17.340 versus

00:27:17.760 Republicans.

00:27:18.540 It was just

00:27:18.880 a team

00:27:19.300 thing.

00:27:20.480 This is

00:27:20.900 different.

00:27:22.480 Whatever

00:27:22.840 you're

00:27:23.260 experiencing

00:27:23.760 now is

00:27:24.500 about

00:27:24.740 America and

00:27:25.980 it's not

00:27:26.260 about the

00:27:26.600 team.

00:27:27.740 Now,

00:27:27.960 the team

00:27:29.120 elements have

00:27:29.800 to come

00:27:30.100 into play,

00:27:30.640 of course.

00:27:31.420 But this

00:27:31.900 is bigger.

00:27:33.300 And you

00:27:33.940 can feel

00:27:34.400 it,

00:27:34.620 can't you?

00:27:35.660 There's

00:27:36.020 something

00:27:36.440 bigger than

00:27:37.880 anything we've

00:27:38.660 ever felt

00:27:39.380 that's happening

00:27:41.060 right now.

00:27:42.400 It's happening

00:27:43.180 in every way.

00:27:44.900 It's happening

00:27:45.620 everywhere.

00:27:47.240 It's happening

00:27:47.880 in other

00:27:48.260 countries.

00:27:48.740 It's happening

00:27:49.300 in the economy,

00:27:50.080 the military.

00:27:51.420 You're seeing

00:27:52.100 the leaders

00:27:52.720 completely change

00:27:53.880 their stance

00:27:54.440 on things.

00:27:55.280 We'll talk

00:27:55.760 about that.

00:27:57.160 Everything's

00:27:57.800 different.

00:27:59.140 And I

00:27:59.640 remind you

00:28:00.260 of my

00:28:01.280 most

00:28:01.720 weird

00:28:03.460 prediction

00:28:04.080 from 2015.

00:28:05.660 It might have

00:28:06.020 been 2016,

00:28:06.960 but I think

00:28:07.440 it was 15.

00:28:08.820 And I

00:28:09.360 told you,

00:28:10.280 and nobody

00:28:11.100 knew what I

00:28:12.800 was talking

00:28:13.180 about.

00:28:14.320 In 2015,

00:28:15.200 I told you

00:28:15.860 that Trump

00:28:16.280 would change

00:28:16.880 more than

00:28:17.340 politics.

00:28:18.900 I said he

00:28:19.780 would change

00:28:20.280 reality itself.

00:28:22.680 Here we

00:28:23.340 are.

00:28:25.160 My best

00:28:25.940 prediction of

00:28:26.540 all time.

00:28:27.980 And I got

00:28:28.860 absolutely no

00:28:29.640 love for that

00:28:30.400 because nobody

00:28:31.140 had any idea

00:28:31.820 what I was

00:28:32.160 talking about.

00:28:33.100 But I could

00:28:33.820 see this coming

00:28:34.460 from a mile

00:28:35.060 away.

00:28:37.060 Because of

00:28:37.920 who he is

00:28:38.380 and how he

00:28:38.800 operates,

00:28:39.260 I knew that

00:28:40.040 our brains

00:28:40.500 couldn't handle

00:28:41.040 that and that

00:28:42.000 it would just

00:28:42.360 break everything.

00:28:43.820 And I also,

00:28:44.680 I'll say this

00:28:45.700 a million times,

00:28:46.480 because I

00:28:47.120 just love

00:28:47.580 saying it.

00:28:49.580 America has 0.83

00:28:50.480 one superpower

00:28:51.280 that is

00:28:52.100 unmatched.

00:28:53.660 We can

00:28:54.420 break what

00:28:55.080 we have

00:28:55.640 before we

00:28:57.200 build the

00:28:57.620 new one.

00:28:59.080 Other countries

00:29:00.000 can't do

00:29:00.400 that.

00:29:01.440 They're a

00:29:01.960 little too

00:29:02.480 ossified.

00:29:04.060 Right?

00:29:04.420 But we

00:29:05.280 will say we

00:29:06.500 don't care how

00:29:07.240 much you loved

00:29:07.940 it yesterday.

00:29:09.960 Right?

00:29:10.980 Doesn't matter

00:29:11.720 how much you

00:29:12.180 loved it

00:29:12.500 yesterday.

00:29:13.380 If you

00:29:14.020 got to do

00:29:14.520 it, you

00:29:14.780 got to do

00:29:15.200 it.

00:29:15.560 We'll

00:29:15.840 change it

00:29:16.280 all.

00:29:16.840 We'll

00:29:17.220 rip it

00:29:17.560 down to

00:29:17.860 the studs,

00:29:18.720 rebuild it.

00:29:20.200 Now, the

00:29:20.800 Democrats

00:29:21.260 have their

00:29:22.280 slogan, and

00:29:24.360 it's called

00:29:24.820 Build Back

00:29:26.200 Bitter.

00:29:28.440 It used to

00:29:29.160 be Build

00:29:29.560 Back

00:29:29.840 Better, but

00:29:31.220 then they

00:29:31.540 lost.

00:29:32.720 Now, they'd

00:29:33.820 like to build

00:29:34.300 back their

00:29:34.700 party, but

00:29:35.240 they're bitter.

00:29:36.600 So, the

00:29:37.220 Democrat

00:29:37.680 slogan, Build

00:29:38.680 Back

00:29:38.960 Bitter, is

00:29:40.120 making them

00:29:40.680 completely irrelevant

00:29:41.880 to anything.

00:29:42.520 so they

00:29:44.240 will remain

00:29:44.760 bitter, I

00:29:45.220 guess, just

00:29:45.660 the, you

00:29:46.300 know, the

00:29:46.540 politically

00:29:46.900 active

00:29:47.280 people.

00:29:51.040 I'm also

00:29:52.000 enjoying

00:29:52.480 watching the

00:29:53.500 B story of

00:29:55.040 Barron Trump.

00:29:55.860 Are you

00:29:57.080 watching that?

00:29:57.800 And the

00:29:58.080 next generation

00:29:58.780 of the

00:29:59.200 Trumps, like

00:30:00.120 Kai, Kai

00:30:01.040 Trump, Don

00:30:02.360 Jr.'s

00:30:02.800 daughter.

00:30:03.000 So, both

00:30:04.400 of them

00:30:04.720 seem to

00:30:05.160 be now

00:30:06.560 in the

00:30:07.100 Trump

00:30:07.500 machine, the

00:30:09.260 machine that

00:30:10.060 knows how to

00:30:10.660 turn you into

00:30:11.380 a celebrity,

00:30:12.580 basically.

00:30:14.500 So, Barron, I

00:30:16.300 saw a post on

00:30:17.580 social media that

00:30:18.980 he has an IQ

00:30:19.700 of 170, and

00:30:21.800 he's the secret

00:30:22.760 genius behind

00:30:23.940 Trump's success

00:30:25.340 with young

00:30:25.800 people.

00:30:26.740 Now, how

00:30:27.960 much of that

00:30:28.480 do you think

00:30:28.880 is true?

00:30:30.120 Do you think,

00:30:30.760 first of all,

00:30:31.200 that he has an

00:30:31.720 IQ of 170,

00:30:33.000 and, second

00:30:34.380 of all, that

00:30:35.020 he's really the

00:30:35.900 secret magic

00:30:36.560 behind Trump's

00:30:39.140 success with

00:30:39.660 the young?

00:30:40.920 It's possible.

00:30:42.680 It's possible.

00:30:44.440 I think that,

00:30:45.900 as a

00:30:46.140 recreational

00:30:46.740 belief, I'm

00:30:48.000 going to

00:30:48.220 accept it.

00:30:51.300 I'm not

00:30:51.900 going to

00:30:52.120 question it.

00:30:53.040 I think I'm

00:30:53.520 just going to

00:30:53.940 recreationally

00:30:54.660 say, now,

00:30:56.120 if somebody

00:30:57.000 just came up

00:30:57.700 with that

00:30:57.980 number and

00:30:58.600 they were

00:30:58.800 doing what

00:30:59.220 I did,

00:31:00.040 which is,

00:31:00.840 I just put

00:31:01.640 it on the

00:31:02.060 internet that

00:31:02.640 I have an

00:31:02.900 IQ of

00:31:03.280 185.

00:31:04.640 And if I

00:31:05.240 say it

00:31:05.540 enough, it

00:31:06.160 was sort

00:31:06.400 of an

00:31:06.620 experiment I

00:31:07.300 started several

00:31:07.940 years ago,

00:31:08.880 an experiment to

00:31:09.820 see if I said

00:31:10.440 it enough and

00:31:11.600 people repeated

00:31:12.260 it, if the

00:31:13.560 internet would

00:31:14.040 come to believe

00:31:14.640 that I have an

00:31:15.140 IQ of 185.

00:31:16.600 And if any of

00:31:17.420 you have been

00:31:17.960 following it,

00:31:19.180 you know that it

00:31:19.800 worked for a

00:31:20.320 long time.

00:31:21.020 If you did a

00:31:21.900 search, it

00:31:22.280 would come up

00:31:22.740 with, well,

00:31:23.560 we're not sure,

00:31:24.300 but a lot of

00:31:25.060 people say he's

00:31:25.640 got a 180 or

00:31:27.680 a 185.

00:31:28.400 So it

00:31:29.400 might be

00:31:29.640 that, which

00:31:31.280 would be

00:31:31.540 hilarious.

00:31:32.780 But I

00:31:33.920 love the

00:31:34.280 fact that if

00:31:35.280 he's really

00:31:35.740 smart and

00:31:37.040 he's raised

00:31:37.940 well, looks

00:31:38.820 like he is,

00:31:40.020 and he's a

00:31:41.360 six foot

00:31:42.280 100 or

00:31:43.760 whatever he

00:31:44.160 is, that

00:31:45.480 he's like an

00:31:46.100 improved Donald

00:31:47.200 Trump, which

00:31:49.100 is the most

00:31:49.620 hilarious thing.

00:31:51.200 As soon as

00:31:52.080 the Democrats

00:31:53.240 think, finally,

00:31:55.520 you know, the

00:31:56.100 elder Trump

00:31:56.780 has aged

00:31:57.360 down, finally,

00:31:58.780 we don't have

00:31:59.260 to worry about

00:31:59.820 this Donald

00:32:00.380 Trump.

00:32:01.200 And then

00:32:01.660 there's going

00:32:02.060 to be the

00:32:02.520 improved clone,

00:32:04.120 the one that

00:32:04.720 looks way too

00:32:05.820 much like him,

00:32:06.680 except way

00:32:07.520 taller, way

00:32:09.100 more athletic,

00:32:10.720 way better

00:32:11.280 looking just

00:32:11.900 by being young.

00:32:12.880 Trump was

00:32:13.300 handsome when

00:32:13.920 he was young.

00:32:15.100 And maybe

00:32:16.700 a rumor that

00:32:17.920 he has a

00:32:18.320 really high IQ.

00:32:19.080 Trump actually

00:32:23.140 found a way

00:32:23.660 to clone

00:32:24.120 himself.

00:32:24.840 If you think

00:32:25.420 you're done

00:32:25.800 with Trump

00:32:26.320 after four

00:32:27.180 years, nope.

00:32:31.520 Barron's

00:32:32.040 coming on

00:32:32.460 strong.

00:32:33.380 Anyway, and

00:32:34.380 Kai Trump is

00:32:36.060 becoming a

00:32:36.520 social media

00:32:37.060 star.

00:32:37.900 Looks like she

00:32:38.440 has all the

00:32:38.900 support in the

00:32:39.540 world to do

00:32:40.120 that.

00:32:40.820 And she also 0.95

00:32:41.440 has the

00:32:41.820 goods.

00:32:43.500 You know,

00:32:44.040 if there's

00:32:44.780 one thing that

00:32:45.320 can make you

00:32:46.020 feel good about

00:32:46.700 the future,

00:32:47.180 it's seeing

00:32:49.500 a young

00:32:49.900 person who

00:32:50.800 has the

00:32:51.220 goods.

00:32:52.020 Do you

00:32:52.540 know anybody

00:32:52.880 like that?

00:32:54.180 There aren't

00:32:54.760 that many.

00:32:56.260 Just in

00:32:56.940 general, there

00:32:57.500 aren't many

00:32:57.820 people who

00:32:58.180 have the

00:32:58.380 goods.

00:32:59.360 But if you

00:32:59.960 watch Kai

00:33:00.500 Trump for

00:33:01.720 like five

00:33:02.200 minutes, well

00:33:03.080 not even,

00:33:03.720 one minute,

00:33:04.620 in one minute

00:33:05.380 you say to

00:33:06.460 yourself, oh,

00:33:07.900 she's got the

00:33:08.560 goods.

00:33:09.780 She's got the

00:33:10.260 whole package.

00:33:11.600 Like what

00:33:11.960 would ever

00:33:12.280 stop her? 0.87

00:33:13.560 She's got the

00:33:14.120 backing, the

00:33:14.700 brains, the

00:33:15.340 looks, the

00:33:16.140 personality, the

00:33:17.260 charisma, the

00:33:18.560 drive.

00:33:20.440 What's going to

00:33:21.080 stop that?

00:33:22.840 And we don't

00:33:23.580 know as much

00:33:24.100 about Barron

00:33:24.800 yet, but

00:33:25.400 maybe, maybe.

00:33:27.860 So I would

00:33:28.620 say that Kai

00:33:29.280 Trump makes

00:33:30.880 me feel good

00:33:31.560 about the

00:33:31.940 future just

00:33:33.000 because there

00:33:33.380 are people

00:33:33.640 like her,

00:33:34.840 people like

00:33:35.460 her in the

00:33:35.800 future.

00:33:49.220 Scotiabank,

00:33:49.960 you're richer

00:33:50.420 than you

00:33:50.780 think.

00:33:52.320 Meanwhile,

00:33:53.120 there's a CIA

00:33:53.760 official who's

00:33:54.500 been charged

00:33:55.160 with leaking

00:33:56.180 documents to

00:33:57.560 Israel.

00:33:58.980 And the

00:33:59.620 documents were

00:34:00.320 about Israel's

00:34:02.920 plans to

00:34:03.540 retaliate against

00:34:04.580 Iran.

00:34:06.080 So that

00:34:06.860 violated the

00:34:07.480 Espionage Act.

00:34:08.600 New York

00:34:08.840 Times is

00:34:09.300 reporting on

00:34:09.820 that.

00:34:12.040 So I guess

00:34:12.880 there's not

00:34:13.200 much more to

00:34:13.680 say about

00:34:14.200 that, except

00:34:14.840 that our

00:34:16.020 distrust of

00:34:17.960 our intelligence

00:34:18.600 units takes

00:34:20.780 another hit,

00:34:22.180 where our

00:34:22.800 trust in them

00:34:23.360 takes another

00:34:23.860 hit.

00:34:26.140 Elon Musk

00:34:26.880 is predicting

00:34:27.560 this.

00:34:28.120 You said this

00:34:28.620 before, but

00:34:29.260 it's interesting

00:34:30.880 that he's

00:34:31.360 doubling down

00:34:31.900 on it.

00:34:32.740 Solar power

00:34:33.400 will be the

00:34:33.980 vast majority

00:34:34.720 of power

00:34:35.140 generation in

00:34:35.900 the future.

00:34:37.900 Now, I

00:34:39.740 so want him

00:34:40.680 to have a

00:34:41.460 public debate

00:34:42.240 on that

00:34:42.740 question versus

00:34:44.460 let's say

00:34:44.940 nuclear.

00:34:46.120 He might

00:34:46.660 be right.

00:34:47.740 And I

00:34:48.360 can see the

00:34:48.900 argument for

00:34:49.440 it because if

00:34:49.940 he had enough

00:34:50.360 battery power,

00:34:51.460 then you

00:34:52.380 wouldn't worry

00:34:53.160 as much

00:34:53.840 about cloudy

00:34:55.300 days and

00:34:55.920 what happens

00:34:56.440 at night.

00:34:57.880 And there

00:34:59.380 might be big

00:34:59.940 breakthroughs in

00:35:00.600 how efficient

00:35:01.480 things are.

00:35:04.040 I mean, we

00:35:04.580 could build

00:35:05.040 houses that

00:35:05.700 needed very

00:35:06.180 little power

00:35:07.400 to heat and

00:35:08.740 cool them.

00:35:09.480 We just

00:35:09.840 don't do it

00:35:10.280 yet.

00:35:10.520 So you

00:35:11.620 can imagine

00:35:12.120 that he'd

00:35:12.500 be right

00:35:12.800 about this.

00:35:13.400 And you

00:35:13.640 can imagine

00:35:14.120 that every

00:35:15.980 house, the

00:35:17.460 solar panels

00:35:18.180 would be

00:35:18.980 the roof.

00:35:21.120 So he's

00:35:22.160 already making

00:35:22.640 that, the

00:35:23.260 roof tiles

00:35:23.940 that are

00:35:24.780 basically solar

00:35:25.580 panels.

00:35:26.120 So yeah, I

00:35:27.660 could see

00:35:28.000 that.

00:35:28.560 But I'd

00:35:28.900 love to have

00:35:29.280 the public

00:35:29.880 debate because

00:35:31.000 I think the

00:35:31.460 argument for

00:35:32.100 nuclear becoming

00:35:35.300 the thing is

00:35:36.500 pretty strong.

00:35:37.900 So let's

00:35:38.440 battle it

00:35:39.080 out.

00:35:39.300 Meanwhile,

00:35:40.880 over in

00:35:41.240 Italy, the

00:35:44.100 government of

00:35:45.160 Georgia and

00:35:46.100 Milani, so

00:35:48.100 her government,

00:35:48.940 the court

00:35:49.860 ruled that

00:35:50.520 she can't

00:35:51.020 deport illegal

00:35:51.820 aliens.

00:35:54.380 So apparently

00:35:55.440 they're stuck

00:35:55.980 with them.

00:35:56.320 And the

00:35:56.560 reason they

00:35:56.900 can't deport 0.87

00:35:57.440 them is that

00:35:57.960 the country

00:35:58.380 they would

00:35:58.740 go back to

00:35:59.380 has poor

00:35:59.980 human rights

00:36:00.540 records.

00:36:01.840 Uh-oh.

00:36:02.320 So apparently

00:36:07.000 Italy has

00:36:08.000 progressive

00:36:10.460 or leftist

00:36:12.340 courts, and

00:36:14.540 they say you

00:36:15.420 can't get rid

00:36:16.020 of people who

00:36:17.440 came in

00:36:17.740 illegally because

00:36:19.400 the place they

00:36:19.980 came from is

00:36:20.640 so bad.

00:36:22.120 Now that

00:36:22.840 doesn't mean

00:36:23.420 they have an

00:36:23.780 asylum process

00:36:24.720 per se, like

00:36:25.560 we do in the

00:36:26.060 United States.

00:36:26.520 it just means

00:36:27.840 that they just

00:36:28.360 feel like that's

00:36:29.180 the right thing

00:36:29.640 to do.

00:36:30.740 Now if your

00:36:31.600 courts are

00:36:32.160 operating on

00:36:32.880 their feelings

00:36:33.600 instead of

00:36:35.160 something like

00:36:35.800 the law, you've

00:36:37.460 got kind of a

00:36:38.080 big problem.

00:36:38.760 And here's my

00:36:41.040 question.

00:36:42.100 I believe that

00:36:43.180 we have now

00:36:43.620 demonstrated in

00:36:44.600 the United States

00:36:45.460 that the

00:36:46.620 Constitution of

00:36:47.540 the United States

00:36:48.240 plus the

00:36:48.920 character and

00:36:49.940 culture of

00:36:51.420 Americans is

00:36:53.320 self-correcting.

00:36:54.880 Now we can go

00:36:55.960 pretty far before

00:36:56.680 we correct to

00:36:58.200 the point of

00:36:58.780 being scary, but

00:37:00.240 we do.

00:37:01.140 And we're in a

00:37:02.040 self-correcting

00:37:02.800 phase right now,

00:37:03.600 which is just

00:37:04.920 unbelievably powerful.

00:37:06.800 But do other

00:37:07.680 countries have

00:37:08.340 that?

00:37:09.420 In other

00:37:09.800 words, do

00:37:10.360 they have a

00:37:10.740 history, a

00:37:11.540 culture, a

00:37:12.580 constitution, set

00:37:15.300 of laws that

00:37:16.600 allows them to

00:37:17.320 correct if they

00:37:17.980 go off the

00:37:18.420 rails?

00:37:19.080 I don't know.

00:37:20.920 But Italy's got

00:37:21.880 this problem where

00:37:22.500 the courts are

00:37:23.160 apparently going to

00:37:23.780 do something that

00:37:24.500 would clearly

00:37:25.020 destroy the

00:37:25.740 entire country.

00:37:27.100 And I don't

00:37:27.400 know what you

00:37:27.820 do about that.

00:37:29.580 Does Georgia

00:37:31.480 and Milani have

00:37:32.320 the power to

00:37:33.240 what?

00:37:34.240 Appoint enough

00:37:34.900 judges to

00:37:35.980 outnumber them

00:37:37.320 or replace them

00:37:38.420 or impeach

00:37:38.920 them?

00:37:39.460 I don't know

00:37:40.180 how their

00:37:40.460 system works.

00:37:41.580 But I just

00:37:42.440 want to brag a

00:37:43.180 little bit that

00:37:44.880 over 200 years

00:37:45.860 ago, some

00:37:47.600 people who were

00:37:48.320 pooping in

00:37:49.120 holes and had 0.74

00:37:50.080 no idea that

00:37:50.720 the internet was

00:37:51.320 coming, made a

00:37:52.840 constitution that

00:37:54.420 still works because

00:37:56.600 it was exquisitely

00:37:58.400 focused on human

00:38:01.460 motivation.

00:38:02.860 that's why the

00:38:04.860 constitution works.

00:38:06.320 It doesn't work

00:38:07.040 because they

00:38:07.740 come up with

00:38:08.260 some good

00:38:08.960 rules.

00:38:09.880 Here's some

00:38:10.260 good rules.

00:38:11.480 No, it's

00:38:11.820 because those

00:38:12.280 rules were

00:38:13.000 perfectly crafted

00:38:14.340 around human

00:38:15.020 nature.

00:38:16.040 Nobody thought

00:38:16.640 of that before.

00:38:17.980 Apparently, nobody

00:38:18.840 thought of that.

00:38:20.360 And so once it

00:38:21.080 was done, it

00:38:21.580 became the most

00:38:22.400 powerful document

00:38:23.260 in the world, as

00:38:24.120 we clearly see.

00:38:25.140 All right, what

00:38:28.580 else is going

00:38:29.020 on?

00:38:32.120 So Sonny

00:38:33.540 Houston on

00:38:36.740 The View, she

00:38:38.680 made some news

00:38:39.620 because she was

00:38:40.340 agreeing with a

00:38:41.000 psychologist who

00:38:41.860 said that maybe

00:38:43.220 it would be a

00:38:44.460 good idea to

00:38:45.340 stay away from

00:38:45.920 family members who

00:38:47.380 are angry about

00:38:48.180 the political

00:38:49.160 stuff.

00:38:50.660 And Sonny

00:38:51.660 Houston agreed.

00:38:52.400 She said that

00:38:53.120 many people feel

00:38:54.680 quote, someone

00:38:55.540 voted not only

00:38:56.460 against their

00:38:57.000 families, but

00:38:57.680 against them.

00:38:59.620 Okay.

00:39:01.140 What does that

00:39:01.960 sound like?

00:39:03.040 Do you think I

00:39:04.020 can tie this into

00:39:05.040 something I've

00:39:05.740 already mentioned?

00:39:07.440 Yes, I can.

00:39:09.300 This is

00:39:10.000 narcissism.

00:39:12.760 If I go to a, 0.93

00:39:14.160 if I were to go

00:39:14.980 to a family

00:39:16.340 event, which

00:39:17.560 I'm not, but

00:39:18.720 if I were, and

00:39:20.160 some of the

00:39:20.600 family members

00:39:21.300 voted differently,

00:39:22.320 you know what I

00:39:23.200 would think that

00:39:23.700 was about?

00:39:25.140 I would think

00:39:25.920 that's about

00:39:26.480 politics.

00:39:28.300 I wouldn't

00:39:28.880 think it's

00:39:29.220 about me.

00:39:32.540 It's

00:39:32.980 narcissism.

00:39:34.100 It's not

00:39:34.700 about me.

00:39:35.600 They didn't

00:39:36.220 vote against

00:39:36.740 me.

00:39:38.200 They voted

00:39:38.900 against some

00:39:39.360 external thing.

00:39:40.580 So I would

00:39:41.480 go there as

00:39:42.060 the happy

00:39:42.460 warrior.

00:39:43.340 Oh, this

00:39:43.600 isn't about

00:39:44.100 me.

00:39:45.060 But apparently

00:39:45.860 the Democrats

00:39:46.600 would feel like

00:39:47.160 it's about

00:39:47.520 them.

00:39:48.660 Because that's

00:39:49.320 what they think

00:39:49.800 about.

00:39:50.080 They think

00:39:50.360 about themselves.

00:39:51.880 So yeah, if

00:39:53.080 you've got

00:39:53.440 somebody in

00:39:53.980 your family who

00:39:54.700 can't get out

00:39:55.360 of the mode of

00:39:56.080 thinking about

00:39:56.640 themselves, and

00:39:57.860 everything's about

00:39:58.660 them, oh, the

00:39:59.820 wind is blowing.

00:40:00.840 That's about me.

00:40:02.300 No, it's not.

00:40:03.620 Oh, the vote is

00:40:04.820 about me.

00:40:06.020 Not really.

00:40:07.560 Not really.

00:40:08.140 We weren't even

00:40:08.600 thinking about you.

00:40:09.920 So once again, we

00:40:11.860 see that the

00:40:12.500 narcissism of the

00:40:13.880 Democrats come 0.60

00:40:15.660 into play and

00:40:16.520 destroy families, 0.75

00:40:17.740 as well as

00:40:19.240 politics.

00:40:21.200 Speaking of

00:40:21.840 things that are

00:40:22.280 being destroyed,

00:40:23.180 MSNBC might be

00:40:24.360 for sale.

00:40:25.620 Their ratings are

00:40:27.460 so bad.

00:40:28.800 The ratings are

00:40:30.000 like extra bad,

00:40:31.300 I think, for

00:40:31.920 Stephanie Rule.

00:40:34.280 I think she's

00:40:35.120 down over 70%.

00:40:36.460 But she's also

00:40:37.920 up against

00:40:38.540 Gottfeld with

00:40:39.540 an exclamation.

00:40:43.340 So it might

00:40:44.680 be that MSNBC is

00:40:46.060 imploding on its

00:40:46.860 own.

00:40:47.060 It might be.

00:40:48.140 They just have

00:40:48.720 better competition

00:40:49.540 than some of

00:40:50.140 the hours.

00:40:52.220 But here's my

00:40:53.240 take.

00:40:53.560 I think DEI is

00:40:54.560 what's killing

00:40:55.080 MSNBC, and

00:40:56.080 there's nothing

00:40:56.520 they can do

00:40:57.020 about it.

00:40:58.220 If you become

00:40:59.140 the DEI

00:41:00.180 channel, it's

00:41:02.060 like your main

00:41:02.720 thing is, you

00:41:04.500 know, identity,

00:41:05.920 you will have

00:41:07.920 the same faith

00:41:08.660 as the

00:41:09.020 Democrat Party.

00:41:10.540 And I'll say

00:41:11.700 this a million

00:41:12.220 times.

00:41:13.020 If you drew

00:41:14.520 it up on

00:41:15.020 paper ahead

00:41:16.380 of time and

00:41:16.880 said, Scott,

00:41:17.460 take a look

00:41:17.800 at this, we're

00:41:18.960 thinking of

00:41:19.560 having a TV

00:41:21.460 news-like

00:41:22.680 network where

00:41:24.140 we're really

00:41:24.520 going to focus

00:41:24.960 on the identity

00:41:25.720 stuff, really

00:41:26.940 drive that home.

00:41:28.060 We're going to

00:41:28.580 craft all of

00:41:29.520 our stories

00:41:30.040 around identity,

00:41:31.240 et cetera.

00:41:32.020 How do you

00:41:32.740 think this will

00:41:33.220 do?

00:41:34.880 And I would

00:41:35.420 say, you mean

00:41:37.020 the identity as

00:41:38.080 Americans, right?

00:41:40.300 Because that works

00:41:41.120 really well.

00:41:41.660 there's an

00:41:42.900 organization that

00:41:44.140 does that, it's

00:41:44.660 called Fox

00:41:45.340 News, and

00:41:47.060 they identify

00:41:47.960 as Americans.

00:41:49.980 And I'd say,

00:41:50.460 that's a great

00:41:50.940 idea.

00:41:51.420 Is that what

00:41:51.960 you're suggesting?

00:41:53.840 No, no, no.

00:41:54.740 We were thinking

00:41:55.240 that the identity

00:41:56.240 would not be

00:41:56.800 Americans, it

00:41:57.460 would be

00:41:57.900 everything else.

00:42:00.680 It would be

00:42:01.120 race and 0.82

00:42:01.800 religion and

00:42:03.000 education level,

00:42:05.400 it would be

00:42:05.800 your sexuality.

00:42:07.200 then I would

00:42:08.480 say, huh, do

00:42:10.340 all of those

00:42:10.960 people have the

00:42:11.860 same interests?

00:42:13.620 No, no, they 1.00

00:42:14.580 all have their

00:42:15.040 own set of

00:42:15.580 interests.

00:42:16.360 Huh.

00:42:18.880 Well, this is

00:42:19.880 going to fail in

00:42:20.560 the long run.

00:42:21.840 In the short

00:42:22.680 run, it's going

00:42:23.300 to make everybody

00:42:23.900 feel good, because

00:42:24.940 you're saying

00:42:25.300 feel-good things.

00:42:26.740 In the long

00:42:27.500 run, your

00:42:28.180 interests will

00:42:28.960 diverge, because

00:42:30.280 you've created

00:42:31.080 essentially a set

00:42:32.860 of adversaries

00:42:33.680 instead of a

00:42:34.400 set of Americans

00:42:35.600 working on the

00:42:36.260 same team.

00:42:37.200 So, you

00:42:39.060 can skip the

00:42:40.000 entire experiment,

00:42:42.220 you could just

00:42:42.840 ask Scott, yes,

00:42:45.040 if your plan is

00:42:46.280 to make everybody

00:42:47.180 hate everybody

00:42:48.140 else for their

00:42:48.940 identity, because

00:42:50.060 you're fighting for

00:42:50.700 your identity to

00:42:51.560 get the most

00:42:52.060 stuff, that will

00:42:53.740 fail.

00:42:54.840 It will fail in

00:42:55.700 the news business,

00:42:56.920 it will fail in

00:42:57.700 the military, it

00:42:58.920 will fail in your

00:42:59.680 corporation, it

00:43:00.940 will fail in your

00:43:01.640 family, it will

00:43:02.900 fail in every

00:43:03.800 context in which

00:43:04.780 it is used,

00:43:05.620 guaranteed.

00:43:07.200 Because it's

00:43:08.240 designed to

00:43:08.960 fail.

00:43:10.560 It's designed to

00:43:12.260 destroy.

00:43:13.740 It's sort of like,

00:43:14.960 Scott, I've

00:43:15.420 developed this

00:43:16.080 cluster bomb, and

00:43:18.860 what do you plan to

00:43:19.460 do with it?

00:43:19.880 Well, I'm going to

00:43:20.500 drop the cluster

00:43:21.420 bomb in a big

00:43:23.840 crowd of people and

00:43:25.720 explode it.

00:43:27.400 How do you think

00:43:28.200 that will go?

00:43:28.940 Well, you said it's a

00:43:30.940 cluster bomb.

00:43:32.440 Yes.

00:43:33.720 I think that's going

00:43:34.660 to kill a bunch of

00:43:35.260 people.

00:43:35.900 Oh, really?

00:43:37.540 We thought this was

00:43:38.520 such a good idea.

00:43:39.300 Are you sure?

00:43:41.360 Because I think people

00:43:42.260 would just love

00:43:42.980 cluster bombs.

00:43:44.360 No, no, no matter

00:43:45.600 how much you love

00:43:46.500 cluster bombs, you

00:43:48.120 can't kill a bunch

00:43:49.080 of people with it.

00:43:50.720 That's my bad

00:43:51.560 analogy for the day.

00:43:52.440 So, as I was

00:43:56.020 watching Meg and

00:43:58.320 Kelly say that

00:43:59.160 Joy Reid and

00:44:00.160 their often

00:44:01.380 guest, Ellie or

00:44:02.940 Eli Mistel, are

00:44:04.860 flat-out racists.

00:44:06.160 I would agree.

00:44:07.700 I would say that

00:44:08.940 the way they act is

00:44:09.920 flat-out racism and

00:44:11.340 very overt.

00:44:12.400 I don't think it's

00:44:13.040 subtle, even in the

00:44:14.360 least bit.

00:44:16.200 And I don't think

00:44:18.480 that MSNBC has a

00:44:19.900 way to get rid of

00:44:20.860 the most DEI

00:44:23.900 people who

00:44:24.600 presumably are

00:44:25.360 turning off the

00:44:26.180 most number of

00:44:27.040 viewers because

00:44:28.300 they just go too

00:44:29.440 far.

00:44:30.620 And their hosts do

00:44:32.120 appear, I'll say

00:44:33.180 it again, to have

00:44:34.440 genuine mental

00:44:35.260 illness.

00:44:36.320 When I watched the

00:44:37.380 clips of Joy Reid

00:44:38.400 this week, I didn't

00:44:40.340 see a different

00:44:40.920 opinion.

00:44:41.440 I saw mental

00:44:42.040 illness.

00:44:43.260 Now, how in the

00:44:43.880 world do you

00:44:45.140 operate if your

00:44:46.460 stars are mentally

00:44:47.600 ill in a really

00:44:49.140 over-obvious way?

00:44:50.860 Clearly acting

00:44:52.260 racist.

00:44:53.360 Your ratings have

00:44:54.360 dropped by over

00:44:54.980 50% per show.

00:44:57.300 And they're going

00:44:58.080 to sell it?

00:44:59.960 Sell it to who?

00:45:01.860 Who would buy

00:45:02.720 that?

00:45:03.740 Who would buy

00:45:04.620 that?

00:45:06.240 Well, it might

00:45:08.740 be Jack

00:45:09.200 Posobiec.

00:45:10.360 So Jack

00:45:11.140 Posobiec and I

00:45:11.900 think his brother

00:45:12.480 and they are

00:45:14.100 talking to some

00:45:14.840 investors.

00:45:16.200 And they're

00:45:16.900 thinking about

00:45:17.500 maybe making a

00:45:18.700 run at buying

00:45:19.220 MSNBC because it

00:45:20.500 looks like it

00:45:20.960 might be for

00:45:21.440 sale.

00:45:22.620 And I think

00:45:24.840 they could pretty

00:45:25.480 well fix things

00:45:27.600 pretty quickly by

00:45:29.160 getting rid of

00:45:29.720 all the hosts and

00:45:30.820 just carving it

00:45:31.960 out using the

00:45:33.380 assets but get

00:45:34.260 rid of the

00:45:34.560 hosts.

00:45:36.720 So that might

00:45:37.480 happen.

00:45:38.840 As PBD showed,

00:45:41.240 PBD, has

00:45:42.100 ever been no

00:45:42.580 PBD?

00:45:44.120 When I talk

00:45:44.640 about that,

00:45:45.840 we're now the

00:45:47.460 independent

00:45:48.460 podcasters are

00:45:49.480 all famous

00:45:49.940 enough that I

00:45:51.280 can just refer

00:45:51.920 to them by

00:45:52.540 their fast

00:45:53.780 handles.

00:45:54.860 So PBD,

00:45:56.300 one of the

00:45:56.920 bigger podcasters,

00:45:58.960 was pointing out

00:45:59.800 they had Charlie

00:46:00.340 Kirk on and

00:46:01.140 pointing out that

00:46:01.720 Charlie Kirk's

00:46:02.500 TikTok account

00:46:03.540 averaged 60

00:46:05.100 million views a

00:46:06.020 day before the

00:46:07.280 election.

00:46:08.640 Just TikTok,

00:46:10.800 just Charlie

00:46:11.840 Kirk,

00:46:12.240 60 million

00:46:15.400 views per

00:46:17.840 day.

00:46:19.240 Now let's

00:46:20.000 compare that to

00:46:20.900 the entire

00:46:21.680 MSNBC audience,

00:46:23.780 half a million

00:46:24.400 viewers a night.

00:46:28.200 What do you

00:46:28.920 think my

00:46:29.340 viewership was

00:46:30.360 per day for

00:46:33.220 just doing this

00:46:33.880 live stream

00:46:34.440 in the run

00:46:36.320 up?

00:46:37.700 I don't know

00:46:38.540 exactly, but

00:46:39.280 maybe on a

00:46:41.440 good day,

00:46:41.780 150,000 if

00:46:43.160 you look

00:46:43.440 across multiple

00:46:44.460 platforms that

00:46:45.260 I'm on.

00:46:46.600 So even I

00:46:47.340 was in the

00:46:50.980 same zip code

00:46:52.100 of traffic of

00:46:54.360 this entire

00:46:54.980 network.

00:46:56.940 I don't know

00:46:57.760 how much

00:46:58.100 anyone would

00:46:58.700 pay for

00:46:59.160 MSNBC,

00:47:00.380 but I think

00:47:01.960 it's got to

00:47:02.420 go for a

00:47:03.100 fire sale

00:47:03.680 price because

00:47:04.720 you can

00:47:05.020 replace the

00:47:05.580 whole operation

00:47:06.220 with a

00:47:06.620 laptop and a

00:47:08.100 ring light.

00:47:10.600 Anyway,

00:47:10.880 I think

00:47:13.200 the legacy

00:47:13.620 media is

00:47:14.360 irrelevant

00:47:15.420 forever.

00:47:16.900 CNN is

00:47:17.400 looking to

00:47:17.860 fire hundreds

00:47:18.520 of employees

00:47:19.160 according to

00:47:20.000 Puck News.

00:47:21.820 So Dylan

00:47:22.240 Byers, I

00:47:22.940 guess, has

00:47:23.240 some kind of

00:47:23.760 scoop on

00:47:24.220 this.

00:47:25.220 And the

00:47:27.020 scoop says,

00:47:27.780 I'm not ready

00:47:28.300 to believe this

00:47:28.940 yet, by the

00:47:29.440 way, so I

00:47:30.440 don't believe

00:47:31.060 it yet, but

00:47:31.940 it's being

00:47:32.280 reported, that

00:47:33.820 they might get

00:47:35.120 rid of some

00:47:35.540 of the top

00:47:36.220 paid talent

00:47:37.200 because it's

00:47:38.580 pointed out in

00:47:39.380 the reporting

00:47:39.800 here that

00:47:40.360 Anderson Cooper

00:47:41.380 makes $20

00:47:42.180 million a

00:47:42.840 year while

00:47:43.200 Caitlin Collins

00:47:44.280 makes $3

00:47:44.880 million a

00:47:45.640 year.

00:47:46.620 And if

00:47:48.580 you ask me

00:47:49.380 which one of

00:47:50.060 them is

00:47:50.400 doing a

00:47:51.460 better job

00:47:52.200 or is more

00:47:52.880 interesting to

00:47:54.000 watch, I'd

00:47:54.540 say, I don't

00:47:56.100 know, looks

00:47:56.460 like about a

00:47:56.940 tie to me.

00:47:57.760 Is one worth

00:47:58.400 $20 million and

00:47:59.180 one is worth

00:47:59.640 $3 million?

00:48:00.100 So maybe one

00:48:02.520 of them needs

00:48:02.900 a raise, I

00:48:03.460 don't know.

00:48:05.880 But there's

00:48:07.680 a clip going

00:48:08.780 around of

00:48:09.280 CNN's Brian

00:48:10.220 Stelter and

00:48:11.660 Abby Phillip on

00:48:12.640 a panel

00:48:13.200 discussion.

00:48:14.660 And Phillip

00:48:15.980 and Stelter 0.56

00:48:16.600 decided that

00:48:17.480 part of the

00:48:18.480 reason that

00:48:19.040 the legacy

00:48:20.520 media is

00:48:21.280 failing hard

00:48:22.060 is because

00:48:23.040 of Trump

00:48:23.580 and America

00:48:24.780 believing lies

00:48:26.460 about the

00:48:26.860 media.

00:48:28.260 So the

00:48:29.040 media did

00:48:29.580 not destroy

00:48:30.260 itself with

00:48:31.500 its blindness,

00:48:32.820 bullshit,

00:48:34.240 gaslighting,

00:48:36.100 and complete

00:48:36.620 irrelevance.

00:48:37.760 No, it

00:48:38.060 wasn't that.

00:48:38.980 It wasn't

00:48:39.580 that that we

00:48:40.120 all noticed.

00:48:41.400 No.

00:48:41.780 It was

00:48:42.300 because someone

00:48:43.840 pointed out

00:48:44.760 that their

00:48:45.920 news is fake

00:48:47.260 and mistaken

00:48:48.600 and bullshit 0.88

00:48:49.820 and gaslighting

00:48:51.400 and propaganda.

00:48:53.020 So it's

00:48:53.820 not the fact

00:48:54.340 that you

00:48:54.660 are bullshit, 0.57

00:48:56.420 gaslighting,

00:48:57.440 fake news,

00:48:58.380 propaganda,

00:48:58.900 disguised as

00:49:00.320 a news

00:49:00.600 program.

00:49:01.060 That's not

00:49:01.380 the problem.

00:49:02.360 The root

00:49:02.860 problem is

00:49:03.480 as somebody

00:49:03.940 pointed it

00:49:04.500 out.

00:49:07.820 I don't

00:49:08.700 feel like

00:49:09.160 the legacy

00:49:10.460 news is

00:49:11.260 close to

00:49:12.160 solving their

00:49:12.780 own problem.

00:49:14.420 I feel

00:49:15.180 like stage

00:49:16.760 one has to

00:49:17.520 be recognizing

00:49:19.060 where that

00:49:19.860 problem is

00:49:20.500 coming from.

00:49:21.760 And I don't

00:49:22.320 think it came

00:49:23.040 from outside

00:49:23.660 the house,

00:49:24.380 if you know

00:49:24.800 what I mean.

00:49:25.220 No, it

00:49:26.360 wasn't

00:49:26.700 Trump.

00:49:27.600 Although

00:49:27.940 Trump did

00:49:28.820 a great

00:49:29.260 service by

00:49:29.960 pointing it

00:49:30.520 out.

00:49:32.080 Meanwhile,

00:49:32.900 the publication

00:49:33.640 called The

00:49:34.200 Guardian over

00:49:36.060 in Great Britain

00:49:36.720 says it's

00:49:37.260 going to leave

00:49:37.740 the X

00:49:38.340 platform because

00:49:39.760 it's, quote,

00:49:40.260 a toxic media

00:49:41.260 platform with,

00:49:42.700 quote, far-right

00:49:43.400 conspiracy theories

00:49:44.720 and racism.

00:49:46.600 Or?

00:49:48.440 Or is it the

00:49:49.660 platform that

00:49:50.380 most often points

00:49:51.300 out that The

00:49:51.940 Guardian is

00:49:52.500 full of shit?

00:49:53.080 Which one

00:49:55.200 is it?

00:49:56.920 I wonder.

00:49:59.700 What could

00:50:00.360 it be?

00:50:02.780 Well, here's

00:50:03.540 my, we're

00:50:04.420 going to talk

00:50:04.680 about all

00:50:05.040 Trump's

00:50:05.480 appointments.

00:50:06.420 So one of

00:50:07.100 the things

00:50:07.340 that I think

00:50:08.520 Trump actually

00:50:09.220 said this,

00:50:09.840 or maybe a

00:50:10.360 member of

00:50:10.760 his campaign

00:50:12.020 said this,

00:50:13.020 that he

00:50:13.440 would be

00:50:13.780 driving the

00:50:14.580 Overton

00:50:15.180 window so

00:50:16.680 that there

00:50:17.040 would be so

00:50:17.680 much news

00:50:18.480 that the

00:50:20.000 fake news

00:50:20.920 couldn't get

00:50:22.580 any kind

00:50:23.160 of grip

00:50:23.560 on a new

00:50:24.040 good fake

00:50:24.660 news story

00:50:25.280 against him.

00:50:26.420 Now, that

00:50:27.740 seems to be

00:50:28.380 happening because

00:50:29.520 he's creating

00:50:30.120 so much

00:50:31.220 provocative

00:50:32.200 news that

00:50:34.160 it's all you

00:50:34.920 can handle.

00:50:35.860 Like, you'll

00:50:36.740 use up all

00:50:37.260 your news

00:50:37.720 minutes talking

00:50:38.380 about what

00:50:38.840 Trump did

00:50:39.240 today, and

00:50:40.120 you're going

00:50:40.380 to run out

00:50:40.820 of time to

00:50:41.340 say, well,

00:50:42.700 I think maybe

00:50:43.780 in the 70s,

00:50:45.820 oh, there

00:50:46.340 was that time

00:50:46.840 he littered

00:50:47.640 in 1973.

00:50:49.740 We should all

00:50:50.520 talk about that

00:50:51.140 a lot, so

00:50:52.420 he's just

00:50:52.820 using up

00:50:53.320 all the

00:50:53.580 shelf space.

00:50:55.060 So, let's

00:50:56.080 talk about

00:50:56.500 some of

00:50:56.980 his nominations

00:50:59.180 for his

00:50:59.860 cabinets and

00:51:00.840 his other

00:51:01.220 jobs.

00:51:02.940 All right,

00:51:03.820 raise your

00:51:04.540 hands if you

00:51:05.200 saw this

00:51:05.740 one coming.

00:51:07.540 Nominated

00:51:08.140 for Secretary

00:51:08.960 of Defense,

00:51:10.580 Pete Hegseth,

00:51:12.180 formerly known

00:51:13.380 as the Fox

00:51:14.160 Weekend

00:51:14.680 Morning Host.

00:51:17.560 Raise your

00:51:18.340 hands if you

00:51:19.320 called that

00:51:19.880 one in

00:51:20.180 advance.

00:51:21.180 If there's

00:51:21.900 anybody here

00:51:22.500 who predicted

00:51:23.120 that, I

00:51:24.300 want to know

00:51:24.720 your name.

00:51:25.500 I want to

00:51:26.200 follow you

00:51:26.660 on X, because

00:51:27.660 if you

00:51:27.960 predicted this

00:51:28.720 one, wow,

00:51:31.380 wow.

00:51:33.580 Now, what

00:51:34.800 was my first

00:51:36.040 impression?

00:51:37.440 Probably same 0.73

00:51:38.240 as yours.

00:51:39.340 My first

00:51:40.160 impression was,

00:51:41.420 uh-oh, uh-oh,

00:51:44.140 how does this

00:51:44.700 make sense?

00:51:45.300 how in any

00:51:47.820 world does it

00:51:49.640 make sense to

00:51:50.440 go from

00:51:50.940 weekend Fox

00:51:52.160 News host to

00:51:53.520 Secretary of

00:51:54.760 Defense?

00:51:56.500 Make that

00:51:57.320 make sense.

00:51:58.020 X. And

00:51:59.780 then I spent

00:52:00.560 some time on

00:52:01.180 X, and

00:52:02.020 people were

00:52:02.640 starting to

00:52:03.520 post clips

00:52:04.720 about it, and

00:52:06.000 I saw a

00:52:06.420 clip in

00:52:06.860 which he

00:52:07.500 was, in

00:52:09.600 which P.

00:52:10.600 Hegseth was

00:52:11.980 talking about

00:52:12.640 the first thing

00:52:13.320 that needs to

00:52:13.820 be done is

00:52:14.540 the, all the

00:52:15.200 generals involved

00:52:16.220 with DEI and

00:52:17.600 CRT need to

00:52:19.560 be fired, and 0.93

00:52:20.940 you need to

00:52:21.340 change the

00:52:21.820 focus from

00:52:22.480 identity to

00:52:23.520 being lethal

00:52:25.260 and winning

00:52:25.800 wars.

00:52:26.800 And I

00:52:27.680 said, uh,

00:52:29.820 damn it.

00:52:32.220 Why is that

00:52:33.100 the smartest

00:52:33.640 thing I've

00:52:34.300 heard about

00:52:34.640 the military,

00:52:35.780 and it's

00:52:36.440 coming from

00:52:37.000 the Fox

00:52:38.480 weekend morning

00:52:39.620 host?

00:52:41.740 Why is he

00:52:42.640 the only one

00:52:43.980 saying the

00:52:44.460 thing that

00:52:44.800 needs to be

00:52:45.220 done?

00:52:46.240 There's nobody

00:52:47.000 else who can

00:52:47.520 speak those

00:52:48.080 words out

00:52:48.640 loud?

00:52:49.580 Then I

00:52:50.240 find out

00:52:50.760 that he's

00:52:52.520 been

00:52:52.840 hiding his

00:52:54.580 intelligence.

00:52:56.720 You

00:52:57.280 bastard, you

00:52:58.360 Pete.

00:52:59.600 You

00:52:59.960 bastard.

00:53:01.200 He's been

00:53:01.680 hiding his

00:53:02.200 intelligence.

00:53:03.500 Did you

00:53:03.820 know that

00:53:04.980 he has

00:53:05.320 degrees from

00:53:06.120 Yale and

00:53:06.700 Harvard?

00:53:07.760 I think he

00:53:08.360 sent back his

00:53:09.000 Harvard degree

00:53:09.620 in protest.

00:53:11.280 How many of

00:53:12.120 you knew

00:53:12.380 that?

00:53:13.460 He has two

00:53:13.940 advanced degrees.

00:53:16.660 He doesn't

00:53:17.600 act like he

00:53:18.320 has two

00:53:18.640 advanced degrees,

00:53:19.560 does he?

00:53:20.460 Now, I'm

00:53:20.920 not saying that

00:53:21.520 he acts

00:53:21.900 dumb,

00:53:22.600 definitely

00:53:23.120 not.

00:53:24.100 I'm saying

00:53:24.540 he's acting

00:53:25.040 smarter than

00:53:25.660 smart.

00:53:26.940 If you're

00:53:27.640 really smart,

00:53:28.460 you go on

00:53:29.100 TV and

00:53:29.600 people say,

00:53:30.080 wow, that

00:53:30.380 person's really

00:53:30.880 smart.

00:53:31.720 That's a real

00:53:32.440 smart person

00:53:33.080 there.

00:53:33.700 If you're

00:53:34.320 smarter than

00:53:34.960 smart, you

00:53:36.520 go on TV,

00:53:38.020 you say

00:53:38.400 things that

00:53:38.800 are smart,

00:53:39.720 but when

00:53:40.620 you're done,

00:53:41.140 people say,

00:53:42.220 hey, you're

00:53:43.000 like me, you're

00:53:44.000 just smarter.

00:53:45.740 Which one

00:53:46.420 does he do?

00:53:47.780 He does the

00:53:48.740 second one.

00:53:49.660 He does the

00:53:50.340 smarter than

00:53:50.880 smart.

00:53:51.220 smarter than

00:53:53.480 smart is

00:53:54.820 that you

00:53:55.240 bring the

00:53:56.020 goods,

00:53:56.980 everything you

00:53:57.600 say fits,

00:53:58.300 makes sense,

00:53:59.520 is in

00:54:00.240 context,

00:54:00.960 historically

00:54:01.460 accurate,

00:54:02.600 useful,

00:54:03.880 better high

00:54:04.660 ground,

00:54:05.160 better than

00:54:05.560 what the

00:54:05.980 other people

00:54:06.340 are saying,

00:54:07.000 and then you

00:54:07.980 just walk

00:54:08.420 away.

00:54:10.000 You don't

00:54:10.640 have to say,

00:54:11.340 and I'm the

00:54:11.860 smartest person

00:54:12.520 in the room.

00:54:13.560 Now, there are

00:54:14.480 some people whose

00:54:15.140 names I won't

00:54:15.740 name, who are

00:54:16.940 also really

00:54:17.680 smart, and

00:54:19.020 they will

00:54:19.300 tell you

00:54:19.640 they're really

00:54:20.100 smart the

00:54:20.620 entire time

00:54:21.140 they're talking.

00:54:22.420 Like, you

00:54:22.980 can't miss

00:54:23.380 it.

00:54:23.920 I want to

00:54:24.600 name a name,

00:54:25.200 but I'm not

00:54:25.580 going to,

00:54:26.060 because it's

00:54:26.740 somebody I

00:54:27.140 like.

00:54:29.160 But if you

00:54:29.900 can pull off

00:54:30.540 the Trump

00:54:31.480 level of

00:54:32.520 communication,

00:54:33.660 where you're

00:54:34.300 talking like

00:54:34.900 you're one of

00:54:35.880 everybody, at

00:54:37.520 the same time

00:54:38.100 you're operating

00:54:38.720 at a whole

00:54:39.180 different level,

00:54:40.820 that's

00:54:42.140 everything.

00:54:43.220 Like, you

00:54:43.780 can't do

00:54:44.140 better than

00:54:44.500 that.

00:54:45.620 Now, he

00:54:46.000 also, there's a

00:54:46.660 clip also where

00:54:47.500 he was on

00:54:47.840 a podcast,

00:54:48.640 Pete X

00:54:49.400 Seth was,

00:54:50.520 saying that

00:54:51.440 he doesn't

00:54:53.540 want women 0.97

00:54:54.660 in combat

00:54:56.320 positions.

00:54:58.020 Now, of

00:54:58.420 course, that's

00:54:58.900 an identity

00:54:59.560 DEI issue,

00:55:01.340 and he's not

00:55:02.200 saying there's

00:55:02.660 anything wrong

00:55:03.180 with women,

00:55:03.660 he's just

00:55:03.980 saying it

00:55:04.300 doesn't fit

00:55:06.620 or work,

00:55:07.340 and there's

00:55:07.620 not enough

00:55:08.240 science to

00:55:09.700 support it as

00:55:10.440 making the

00:55:10.900 military more

00:55:11.560 lethal.

00:55:13.020 Now, that's

00:55:14.120 a tough thing

00:55:14.700 to say in

00:55:15.400 public, but

00:55:16.880 he said it,

00:55:17.500 and he

00:55:18.200 said it

00:55:18.500 with no

00:55:19.180 ambiguity,

00:55:20.280 no apology,

00:55:21.720 and he

00:55:22.040 said it

00:55:22.400 correctly,

00:55:23.360 and, you

00:55:24.680 know, in a

00:55:25.320 way that

00:55:25.600 made him

00:55:25.860 look smart.

00:55:27.220 So, I

00:55:28.980 love that.

00:55:30.620 I love

00:55:31.240 that.

00:55:31.940 Now, it's

00:55:32.320 not even

00:55:32.640 about liking

00:55:34.580 the issue.

00:55:35.800 I do prefer

00:55:36.780 not having

00:55:37.640 women in 0.62

00:55:38.120 combat, but

00:55:39.920 my reason

00:55:41.140 for it is,

00:55:43.060 first of all,

00:55:43.480 I'm taking his

00:55:44.000 word for it,

00:55:44.680 because he

00:55:44.980 seems to know

00:55:45.520 what he's

00:55:45.740 talking about.

00:55:46.200 By the

00:55:46.760 way, he's

00:55:47.040 a military

00:55:47.460 veteran, so

00:55:48.560 he spent a

00:55:49.140 lot of time

00:55:49.500 in the

00:55:49.860 military, and

00:55:50.900 he's done a

00:55:51.280 lot of work

00:55:51.740 for veterans.

00:55:53.340 So, he's

00:55:53.880 somebody who

00:55:54.340 understands the

00:55:55.080 veteran situation

00:55:56.000 because he's

00:55:56.560 been so

00:55:56.980 involved.

00:55:57.620 He understands

00:55:58.140 real war.

00:55:59.340 He's been in

00:55:59.880 the real war,

00:56:00.720 and he knows

00:56:01.740 the biggest

00:56:02.160 problem in the

00:56:02.740 military is we

00:56:04.120 don't want our

00:56:05.180 generals wearing

00:56:06.060 dresses, basically.

00:56:07.820 So, if he can

00:56:11.200 fix that, I'm

00:56:14.500 all in.

00:56:15.540 And I would

00:56:16.160 say that if

00:56:16.920 the goal is to

00:56:17.800 get rid of the

00:56:18.280 DEI in the

00:56:19.740 military, and

00:56:21.180 it should be,

00:56:22.360 absolutely should

00:56:23.160 be, then the

00:56:24.480 person you need

00:56:25.200 to do that is

00:56:26.060 somebody who

00:56:26.620 does not have a

00:56:28.200 long history of

00:56:29.160 being an officer

00:56:30.580 appointed by

00:56:32.220 politicians.

00:56:33.580 You want

00:56:34.300 somebody who

00:56:34.900 hasn't even

00:56:35.380 touched that

00:56:35.980 area.

00:56:36.900 You want

00:56:37.260 somebody who's

00:56:37.920 seen enough

00:56:38.360 combat that you

00:56:39.200 know they can

00:56:39.700 take a hit.

00:56:40.700 You want

00:56:41.280 somebody who's

00:56:41.800 worked on the

00:56:42.240 Fox News so

00:56:43.100 you know they

00:56:43.500 can be absolutely

00:56:45.260 violated with

00:56:47.840 criticism and

00:56:49.480 go home as a 1.00

00:56:50.440 happy warrior.

00:56:51.840 He can do

00:56:52.620 that.

00:56:53.500 He knows how

00:56:54.380 to take the

00:56:54.800 hardest criticism.

00:56:56.000 He knows how

00:56:56.520 to dodge

00:56:57.300 freaking bullets.

00:56:59.120 He's in the

00:56:59.660 military, right?

00:57:01.260 If you think

00:57:02.120 that he doesn't

00:57:02.780 have the

00:57:03.100 goods, don't

00:57:06.060 make the

00:57:06.420 mistake of,

00:57:08.960 you know,

00:57:09.180 imagine if you

00:57:10.820 were around in

00:57:12.420 1776 and the

00:57:15.740 founders of the

00:57:16.500 country brought

00:57:17.020 you their

00:57:17.360 resumes and

00:57:19.720 George Washington

00:57:20.420 says, I'm a

00:57:22.000 farmer, but I'd

00:57:24.460 like to be the

00:57:25.000 general of the

00:57:25.940 revolution.

00:57:27.660 You say, wait

00:57:28.480 a minute, you're

00:57:28.840 a farmer?

00:57:29.620 How does that

00:57:30.000 make sense?

00:57:31.380 Who is it?

00:57:31.900 It was a

00:57:32.560 Hamilton who

00:57:33.480 was like a

00:57:35.360 teenager.

00:57:36.980 So a teenager

00:57:38.580 comes to you and

00:57:39.240 say, hey, I got

00:57:40.180 these ideas for

00:57:41.200 changing the

00:57:42.360 entire country.

00:57:43.720 Do you say, oh,

00:57:44.820 teenager, good,

00:57:46.480 yeah, let's go

00:57:47.840 with that.

00:57:48.900 Nope.

00:57:51.180 But if it was

00:57:53.080 1776 and you

00:57:54.640 said to yourself,

00:57:55.320 who's got the

00:57:56.920 most goods, who's

00:57:59.260 bringing the

00:57:59.760 strongest package?

00:58:03.040 And then

00:58:03.680 Washington walks

00:58:04.520 in, he's six

00:58:05.520 foot something,

00:58:06.940 you know, people

00:58:07.820 want to follow him

00:58:08.680 and you say, okay,

00:58:10.040 I don't know what

00:58:10.520 you've got going

00:58:11.060 on, but you've got

00:58:11.820 the package.

00:58:12.640 You're the

00:58:13.180 general.

00:58:14.140 And then

00:58:14.700 Hamilton comes

00:58:15.480 in or whoever

00:58:16.200 it was.

00:58:16.660 Was it Madison

00:58:17.340 or Hamilton?

00:58:18.220 I can never

00:58:19.460 remember which

00:58:19.940 one was super

00:58:20.560 young.

00:58:21.340 They were both

00:58:21.820 super young,

00:58:22.540 right?

00:58:23.200 Madison and

00:58:23.860 Hamilton.

00:58:24.740 But if they

00:58:25.460 came in at

00:58:25.900 that age and

00:58:27.700 you looked at

00:58:28.160 their resume,

00:58:28.740 you'd say,

00:58:29.220 ah, yeah, I

00:58:31.140 think you need

00:58:31.580 to get seasoned

00:58:32.180 a few more

00:58:32.880 decades before

00:58:33.940 you're, but

00:58:34.920 if you were

00:58:35.420 smart, you'd 0.55

00:58:37.440 say, hmm,

00:58:38.800 young Steve

00:58:39.420 Jobs, hmm,

00:58:41.960 young Mark

00:58:43.200 Zuckerberg,

00:58:44.200 hmm, young

00:58:45.480 Elon Musk,

00:58:46.960 right?

00:58:48.100 And so you

00:58:48.980 see that same

00:58:49.620 1776 hiring

00:58:52.120 decisions, if

00:58:53.040 you can call

00:58:53.480 it that, being

00:58:55.140 made by

00:58:55.560 Trump.

00:58:57.000 Vivek, too

00:58:58.940 young, perfect.

00:59:01.780 J.D.

00:59:02.300 Vance, too

00:59:03.500 young, perfect.

00:59:07.580 P.

00:59:07.820 Hezgeth,

00:59:09.540 Hezgeth, P.

00:59:10.720 Hezgeth, too

00:59:11.760 young, perfect.

00:59:15.640 Perfect.

00:59:16.460 As long as

00:59:17.140 they got the

00:59:17.560 goods, and

00:59:18.480 we're talking

00:59:18.860 about people

00:59:19.340 who really

00:59:19.860 have the

00:59:20.160 goods, really,

00:59:21.580 really have

00:59:22.060 the goods.

00:59:24.060 All right.

00:59:26.460 So we'll

00:59:27.140 see how that

00:59:27.680 works out.

00:59:29.920 The good

00:59:30.540 news is the

00:59:31.260 defense lobbyists

00:59:32.340 seem to be

00:59:32.960 outraged.

00:59:34.260 Oh, well,

00:59:35.160 we're heading in

00:59:35.880 the right

00:59:36.100 direction,

00:59:36.520 aren't we?

00:59:37.300 So the

00:59:37.740 defense lobbyists

00:59:38.720 are outraged.

00:59:40.380 Ah, you

00:59:41.160 got me.

00:59:42.240 So if it

00:59:43.140 wasn't obvious,

00:59:44.920 my first

00:59:45.480 reaction to

00:59:46.540 Pete Hezgeth

00:59:48.100 was, huh,

00:59:49.600 I don't

00:59:50.080 understand it.

00:59:51.680 My current

00:59:52.620 reaction is,

00:59:54.220 it might be

00:59:56.500 brilliant.

00:59:58.680 It might be.

00:59:59.960 I mean,

01:00:00.240 anything could

01:00:00.740 happen, right?

01:00:01.500 It's too early

01:00:02.100 to predict

01:00:03.400 success.

01:00:04.700 But is he

01:00:06.300 the right

01:00:06.660 pick?

01:00:07.280 Is he loyal

01:00:08.120 to Trump?

01:00:09.260 Would he

01:00:09.620 take the hit

01:00:10.280 he would have

01:00:10.880 to hit?

01:00:11.620 Would he be

01:00:12.080 able to fire

01:00:12.660 generals?

01:00:13.160 Would he

01:00:15.240 have the

01:00:15.600 empathy as

01:00:16.420 well as

01:00:16.760 the experience

01:00:17.500 for the

01:00:18.680 military?

01:00:20.760 Yup.

01:00:23.220 I'm all

01:00:23.880 in.

01:00:25.260 Well, what

01:00:25.680 else?

01:00:27.520 And Trump

01:00:28.480 is preparing

01:00:29.120 an executive

01:00:29.680 order to

01:00:30.480 call the

01:00:31.080 military of

01:00:31.760 woke generals

01:00:32.480 according to

01:00:33.280 the red

01:00:33.640 state.

01:00:34.100 Red state

01:00:34.660 is reporting.

01:00:36.900 So Hegseth

01:00:38.840 would have

01:00:39.320 the backing

01:00:40.580 of the

01:00:41.580 commander-in-chief.

01:00:43.960 And I

01:00:45.460 actually think

01:00:46.040 they could

01:00:46.340 get this

01:00:46.700 done.

01:00:48.240 If I were

01:00:49.020 China and

01:00:49.540 Russia, this 0.81

01:00:50.720 would scare

01:00:51.240 the shit

01:00:51.620 out of me.

01:00:52.640 You know

01:00:52.920 why?

01:00:54.980 Because I

01:00:55.660 think all

01:00:56.000 the big

01:00:56.320 countries are

01:00:57.220 worried that

01:00:57.800 their own

01:00:58.280 militaries are

01:00:59.140 pathetic, but

01:01:00.760 nobody knows

01:01:01.860 yet.

01:01:03.820 I feel like

01:01:04.680 that might be

01:01:05.160 the case.

01:01:06.060 Remember how

01:01:06.500 we thought

01:01:06.880 that Russia 0.72

01:01:07.360 would just

01:01:07.780 roll over

01:01:08.260 Ukraine?

01:01:09.600 And then we

01:01:10.040 thought, oh,

01:01:10.900 I guess that

01:01:11.700 Russian military

01:01:12.400 wasn't as

01:01:13.140 vaunted as

01:01:13.900 we thought.

01:01:14.520 I mean, they

01:01:14.860 still probably

01:01:15.380 would win if

01:01:15.940 they keep

01:01:16.240 fighting, but

01:01:17.360 not really as

01:01:18.100 close as we

01:01:19.320 thought.

01:01:20.640 And then

01:01:21.040 there's talk

01:01:21.940 that China,

01:01:22.860 if it got

01:01:23.280 into a

01:01:23.680 shooting war

01:01:24.160 with the

01:01:24.460 U.S., if

01:01:25.180 it were

01:01:25.400 non-nuclear,

01:01:26.760 it would go

01:01:27.400 bad for

01:01:27.840 China.

01:01:29.120 Maybe that's

01:01:29.840 true, maybe

01:01:30.340 it's not.

01:01:31.180 Then we

01:01:31.480 talk about

01:01:32.280 our military.

01:01:33.680 Maybe we

01:01:34.180 have used

01:01:34.540 up all

01:01:34.940 our good

01:01:36.060 stuff, giving

01:01:36.720 it to

01:01:36.980 Ukraine.

01:01:38.000 Maybe we

01:01:39.260 have too

01:01:39.540 much DI

01:01:40.080 and maybe

01:01:41.640 overweight,

01:01:42.960 unhealthy

01:01:43.340 soldiers, not

01:01:44.640 enough of

01:01:44.980 them.

01:01:45.800 So it

01:01:46.580 could be

01:01:47.160 that all

01:01:48.320 the major

01:01:48.760 powers have

01:01:49.700 militaries that

01:01:50.680 they're not

01:01:51.080 really happy

01:01:51.680 with internally.

01:01:53.500 And if you

01:01:54.400 were watching

01:01:54.900 the United

01:01:55.440 States recognize

01:01:57.160 its biggest

01:01:57.880 problem and

01:01:59.580 have a

01:02:00.460 useful plan

01:02:02.000 to fix it,

01:02:03.260 you would be

01:02:04.720 afraid.

01:02:06.080 Because the

01:02:06.540 next thing

01:02:06.880 you know,

01:02:07.200 we're going

01:02:07.420 to have a

01:02:07.620 whole bunch

01:02:08.000 of Palmer

01:02:11.100 Lucky's drones

01:02:13.100 at much

01:02:14.000 less cost and

01:02:14.900 will be much

01:02:15.400 more lethal.

01:02:16.820 And I'd

01:02:17.420 worry about

01:02:17.880 it.

01:02:18.940 So think

01:02:19.940 about how

01:02:20.320 Russia thinks 0.61

01:02:20.980 about it.

01:02:21.940 If Russia 0.80

01:02:22.520 knew that

01:02:23.000 Pete Hegseth

01:02:23.580 was going to

01:02:24.060 get in there

01:02:24.500 and get rid

01:02:25.000 of DEI,

01:02:26.080 do you think

01:02:26.580 Putin is

01:02:27.240 happy about

01:02:27.740 that?

01:02:28.840 He's not.

01:02:30.180 Because DEI

01:02:30.920 works in his

01:02:31.460 favor.

01:02:32.780 So if our

01:02:33.740 adversaries aren't

01:02:34.640 going to like

01:02:35.100 P. Hegseth

01:02:36.260 in that job,

01:02:37.640 then that's

01:02:39.560 a pretty good

01:02:40.000 endorsement.

01:02:42.500 Meanwhile,

01:02:43.280 in the

01:02:43.680 Department of

01:02:44.480 Government

01:02:44.860 Efficiency,

01:02:45.920 named Doge,

01:02:47.900 Elon Musk,

01:02:48.580 of course,

01:02:48.920 as you know,

01:02:49.340 is going to

01:02:49.640 be the lead

01:02:50.640 on that.

01:02:51.580 But guess

01:02:51.920 what?

01:02:52.680 Turns out

01:02:53.200 that Vivek

01:02:53.780 Ramaswamy is

01:02:54.900 going to be

01:02:55.400 the second

01:02:56.860 part of that

01:02:57.620 team,

01:02:58.660 given how

01:02:59.940 much work

01:03:00.500 Elon has

01:03:01.060 to do with

01:03:01.720 his companies

01:03:02.280 and the fact

01:03:03.100 that Vivek

01:03:03.760 has been

01:03:05.060 more of a

01:03:05.720 free agent.

01:03:06.540 He's got

01:03:06.940 plenty of

01:03:07.280 investments to

01:03:08.000 look after,

01:03:08.540 too.

01:03:08.980 But he's

01:03:09.320 more of a

01:03:09.700 free agent,

01:03:10.900 and he has

01:03:11.540 the intellect

01:03:12.260 and the

01:03:12.640 drive,

01:03:13.140 all the

01:03:13.500 tools,

01:03:13.940 basically all

01:03:14.520 the tools,

01:03:15.260 to do

01:03:15.820 exactly this

01:03:16.580 stuff.

01:03:18.420 And Trump

01:03:20.280 has referred to

01:03:20.980 it as a

01:03:21.520 Manhattan

01:03:21.900 project.

01:03:23.540 And I'll

01:03:23.980 say it again,

01:03:25.080 reforming the

01:03:25.800 military in

01:03:27.420 this way that

01:03:27.980 looks like it

01:03:28.500 could really

01:03:28.920 work is

01:03:30.580 almost like a

01:03:31.200 weapon of

01:03:31.560 mass destruction.

01:03:32.280 It's a

01:03:33.040 powerful,

01:03:33.700 powerful thing

01:03:34.300 if we can

01:03:34.780 do it.

01:03:35.640 But also

01:03:36.240 reorganizing the

01:03:37.180 government to

01:03:38.540 make it more

01:03:39.020 efficient so

01:03:39.960 the United

01:03:40.420 States is more

01:03:41.100 competitive in

01:03:41.920 every way,

01:03:44.060 that would be a

01:03:44.980 Manhattan project.

01:03:46.220 I do think that

01:03:47.160 if we could pull

01:03:47.760 this off,

01:03:48.980 we the country,

01:03:50.400 that it would be

01:03:51.340 the most impressive

01:03:52.280 thing the country

01:03:53.060 has ever done.

01:03:54.860 Because you could

01:03:55.640 say, well,

01:03:56.200 but we developed

01:03:57.200 the nuclear

01:03:58.380 bombs.

01:04:00.860 But I think

01:04:01.620 somebody would

01:04:02.940 have done that

01:04:03.340 anyway.

01:04:05.800 War doesn't

01:04:06.560 impress me.

01:04:08.700 Maybe it

01:04:09.260 should.

01:04:10.460 But if you

01:04:11.080 can be the

01:04:11.800 biggest

01:04:12.140 bureaucracy

01:04:13.560 ever in a

01:04:15.680 world where

01:04:16.140 nobody else has

01:04:16.820 figured out how

01:04:17.400 to do that,

01:04:18.020 except maybe

01:04:18.560 Estonia.

01:04:19.620 Estonia is a

01:04:20.320 pretty efficient

01:04:21.020 place, by the

01:04:21.580 way.

01:04:23.240 Weirdly.

01:04:24.300 Estonia is

01:04:24.880 actually just a

01:04:26.120 killer country.

01:04:27.660 You don't hear

01:04:28.340 much about it,

01:04:29.620 but Estonia

01:04:30.080 has its shit

01:04:32.620 together really

01:04:33.220 well.

01:04:34.520 But if we

01:04:35.280 could get as

01:04:35.900 efficient as

01:04:36.600 Estonia to

01:04:37.960 use them as

01:04:38.500 a model,

01:04:39.960 oh my God,

01:04:40.940 would the

01:04:41.220 golden age

01:04:41.720 open up.

01:04:43.940 I'm not

01:04:44.600 100% sure

01:04:45.760 that even

01:04:46.500 Musk and

01:04:47.040 Vivek and

01:04:47.660 Trump can

01:04:48.140 pull this

01:04:48.580 off because

01:04:49.140 of the size

01:04:49.600 of it.

01:04:50.280 But let me

01:04:50.660 say it again.

01:04:51.780 Nothing would

01:04:52.520 impress me

01:04:53.060 more.

01:04:54.380 If they can

01:04:55.140 pull this

01:04:55.560 off, nothing

01:04:56.400 would impress

01:04:56.940 me more.

01:04:57.720 And I

01:04:57.940 love the

01:04:58.300 spirit of

01:04:59.320 it, too,

01:04:59.940 because there's

01:05:00.560 no way that

01:05:01.220 Musk and

01:05:01.780 Vivek are

01:05:02.320 going to

01:05:02.540 enjoy this.

01:05:04.360 They signed

01:05:05.240 up for a

01:05:05.720 lot of

01:05:06.000 pain, and

01:05:07.280 that pain is

01:05:07.900 for the

01:05:08.240 benefit of

01:05:08.720 the country.

01:05:10.120 Now, do

01:05:11.380 the Musk

01:05:11.740 companies

01:05:12.160 benefit?

01:05:12.700 Yes.

01:05:14.080 Could

01:05:14.520 Vivek benefit

01:05:15.420 later on

01:05:16.280 politically?

01:05:16.840 Yes.

01:05:17.900 But honestly,

01:05:19.320 it does seem

01:05:19.740 focused on the

01:05:20.400 country.

01:05:20.680 that's what

01:05:23.400 it feels

01:05:23.680 like.

01:05:26.940 FBI

01:05:27.580 director

01:05:28.060 Christopher

01:05:28.620 Wray may

01:05:30.220 not stay

01:05:31.060 under a

01:05:31.900 Trump

01:05:32.180 administration.

01:05:33.020 NBC News

01:05:33.740 says he's

01:05:34.400 thinking about

01:05:35.700 his potential

01:05:37.480 forced exit.

01:05:39.600 One of the

01:05:40.260 people being

01:05:40.740 considered,

01:05:41.600 unless something's

01:05:42.360 changed in the

01:05:43.020 last hour or

01:05:43.580 so, is

01:05:44.020 Kash Patel.

01:05:44.900 some say he

01:05:46.200 was being

01:05:46.500 considered to

01:05:47.140 lead the CIA,

01:05:48.260 but I think

01:05:48.560 that got

01:05:48.980 filled with

01:05:49.980 the nomination

01:05:50.600 of

01:05:51.000 Ratcliffe.

01:05:54.060 Yeah.

01:05:54.640 So, is

01:05:55.140 Kash Patel

01:05:55.840 still up for

01:05:56.760 the head

01:05:57.660 of the

01:05:57.880 FBI?

01:05:59.880 That also

01:06:00.840 feels like

01:06:01.560 something that

01:06:02.080 would make

01:06:02.320 me happy.

01:06:04.880 So, Trump

01:06:05.880 is going for

01:06:06.460 loyalty

01:06:07.000 with brains.

01:06:10.440 And I'm

01:06:11.160 liking it a

01:06:11.740 lot.

01:06:13.160 Loyalty,

01:06:13.800 but with

01:06:14.300 brains.

01:06:15.220 Guts and

01:06:15.840 brains.

01:06:17.080 So, I

01:06:18.020 don't mind

01:06:18.520 that Trump

01:06:20.480 is going

01:06:20.940 for loyalty

01:06:21.620 over a,

01:06:23.160 let's say,

01:06:24.200 a Lincoln

01:06:24.740 team of

01:06:27.080 adversaries.

01:06:28.520 I think the

01:06:29.320 team of

01:06:29.820 adversaries

01:06:30.460 would be a

01:06:31.020 huge mistake

01:06:31.860 when you have

01:06:32.820 this many

01:06:33.240 things to

01:06:33.720 fix.

01:06:35.600 I think he

01:06:36.300 wants loyalists

01:06:37.140 who, when he

01:06:38.280 says get rid 1.00

01:06:38.900 of DEI in

01:06:39.580 the military,

01:06:40.860 they're going

01:06:41.320 to get rid

01:06:41.740 of DEI in

01:06:42.320 the military,

01:06:43.140 and they're

01:06:43.460 not going

01:06:43.800 to slow

01:06:44.220 walk it.

01:06:44.900 So, the

01:06:45.580 thing you

01:06:45.900 don't want

01:06:46.420 is slow

01:06:46.880 walking.

01:06:48.180 And I

01:06:48.420 think that

01:06:48.800 the loyalists

01:06:50.500 of this

01:06:51.360 type, the

01:06:52.320 highest quality

01:06:53.560 effective people,

01:06:56.100 that's how you

01:06:56.900 get there.

01:06:57.280 I saw this

01:07:02.100 from Thomas

01:07:03.840 Massey.

01:07:05.440 He was

01:07:06.200 responding to

01:07:06.820 Ross Ulbricht.

01:07:08.060 You know,

01:07:08.280 he's in

01:07:08.780 prison, and a

01:07:10.520 lot of people

01:07:10.900 want him to

01:07:11.320 get pardoned.

01:07:12.020 He was the

01:07:12.360 one who created

01:07:12.820 the Silk

01:07:13.300 Road, and he

01:07:13.920 has a gazillion

01:07:15.160 year prison

01:07:15.800 sentence.

01:07:17.120 And I've

01:07:19.100 been on both

01:07:19.660 sides of

01:07:20.220 whether he

01:07:20.640 should get

01:07:21.000 pardoned.

01:07:21.280 So, Thomas

01:07:23.560 Massey says,

01:07:24.440 hang in there,

01:07:25.040 Ross.

01:07:25.340 President Trump

01:07:26.380 himself told

01:07:27.800 me that he

01:07:28.480 would pardon

01:07:29.400 him.

01:07:30.200 That's one of

01:07:30.620 the reasons I

01:07:31.200 endorsed him.

01:07:32.840 All right.

01:07:33.280 So, that

01:07:33.780 seals it for

01:07:34.600 me.

01:07:36.380 So, Massey,

01:07:38.240 who I trust,

01:07:39.820 there's zero

01:07:40.540 chance that

01:07:41.180 Thomas Massey is

01:07:42.000 lying when he

01:07:43.060 says that Trump

01:07:44.200 told him he

01:07:44.800 would do it.

01:07:45.760 Now, it's

01:07:46.500 about Trump.

01:07:47.860 If Trump

01:07:48.600 told Massey

01:07:49.400 that he

01:07:49.920 would pardon

01:07:50.400 him, it

01:07:51.460 needs to

01:07:51.820 happen.

01:07:53.020 So, separate

01:07:53.940 from the

01:07:54.380 question of

01:07:54.860 whether he

01:07:55.300 should be

01:07:55.700 pardoned, we

01:07:57.040 can't have a

01:07:57.760 situation where

01:07:59.120 Trump tells

01:07:59.740 Thomas Massey

01:08:00.520 he's going to

01:08:00.980 do a thing,

01:08:01.560 no doubt about

01:08:02.140 it, and then

01:08:02.460 he doesn't

01:08:02.860 do it.

01:08:04.040 No good,

01:08:05.120 right?

01:08:05.720 The fact that

01:08:06.680 Trump is

01:08:07.100 committed, Thomas

01:08:08.780 Massey told you 0.98

01:08:09.600 he committed,

01:08:10.580 that has to be

01:08:11.460 a done deal

01:08:12.000 now.

01:08:12.960 That has to

01:08:13.580 be.

01:08:14.260 Because if you

01:08:14.980 want confidence

01:08:16.500 in the

01:08:16.980 system, I

01:08:18.780 need to know

01:08:19.400 that if Trump

01:08:20.060 tells Thomas

01:08:20.820 Massey, and

01:08:21.940 Thomas Massey

01:08:22.620 tells me, that

01:08:24.180 that shit's

01:08:24.640 going to

01:08:24.900 happen, right?

01:08:26.620 So, this is a

01:08:27.640 new situation

01:08:28.260 now, it's a

01:08:29.020 new game, because

01:08:30.360 it's no longer

01:08:31.340 about the guy

01:08:32.440 in prison.

01:08:33.380 Now it's about

01:08:34.400 Trump and

01:08:35.380 Massey.

01:08:36.620 So, that needs

01:08:37.500 to be right.

01:08:40.660 Trump had said

01:08:41.380 this a while ago,

01:08:42.120 but the clip is

01:08:42.960 going around.

01:08:43.580 He made a

01:08:43.900 bunch of videos

01:08:44.920 when he was

01:08:45.340 running for

01:08:45.740 office.

01:08:46.060 Some of

01:08:46.760 them are

01:08:47.020 getting

01:08:47.200 surfaced

01:08:47.640 lately.

01:08:48.780 But I

01:08:49.640 love this

01:08:50.080 idea, Trump

01:08:50.720 creating some

01:08:51.360 kind of

01:08:51.660 American college

01:08:52.660 plan, where

01:08:53.900 I assume it's

01:08:54.780 mostly online,

01:08:55.780 but maybe

01:08:56.120 not, in

01:08:57.120 which anybody

01:08:57.740 could get a

01:08:58.260 free education

01:08:59.080 that would

01:09:00.260 be presumably

01:09:01.160 certified as

01:09:03.740 a real

01:09:04.060 education.

01:09:05.400 Now, I

01:09:06.760 don't think I

01:09:07.260 would love if

01:09:08.340 college turned

01:09:09.120 into only

01:09:09.920 online, because

01:09:11.660 the in-person

01:09:13.340 part of college

01:09:14.180 is important.

01:09:14.720 But we

01:09:16.140 could probably

01:09:16.520 figure out

01:09:17.060 ways where

01:09:18.040 people who

01:09:18.440 are taking

01:09:18.760 classes, they

01:09:20.340 have something

01:09:20.760 in common,

01:09:21.600 could group

01:09:22.660 together and

01:09:23.380 have meetings

01:09:23.980 and study

01:09:24.880 together and

01:09:25.500 do projects

01:09:26.060 together and

01:09:26.700 stuff like that.

01:09:27.420 So I think

01:09:28.160 it's solvable.

01:09:28.980 And I very

01:09:29.620 much would

01:09:30.020 like to see

01:09:30.480 the government

01:09:31.480 offer the

01:09:33.160 low-cost, you

01:09:34.840 have no

01:09:35.260 excuses as

01:09:36.200 long as you

01:09:36.580 have a

01:09:36.800 laptop, every

01:09:38.140 single person

01:09:38.820 can get a

01:09:39.960 respected

01:09:41.880 education.

01:09:43.160 And I think if

01:09:43.800 you add AI to

01:09:44.660 that, we're in

01:09:46.960 good shape.

01:09:48.120 The American

01:09:48.920 college plan, I'm

01:09:49.760 all for it.

01:09:50.260 Meanwhile, you

01:09:52.620 are not

01:09:53.020 surprised to

01:09:53.720 learn that

01:09:54.360 there are

01:09:54.700 reports which

01:09:56.000 are unconfirmed

01:09:56.900 of all kinds

01:09:59.080 of potential

01:10:00.560 election cheating

01:10:02.080 in Maricopa

01:10:03.080 County.

01:10:04.520 Now, there

01:10:05.300 are some

01:10:05.560 claims in

01:10:06.340 Wisconsin and

01:10:07.800 maybe somewhere

01:10:08.900 else where

01:10:10.480 that weird

01:10:11.000 pattern of

01:10:11.900 votes going

01:10:13.000 in a smooth

01:10:13.520 line and

01:10:14.120 then suddenly

01:10:14.600 the Democrat

01:10:15.160 vote goes

01:10:15.780 straight up

01:10:16.320 because there's

01:10:17.180 a batch of

01:10:17.680 votes that come

01:10:18.220 in that's only

01:10:18.960 for one person.

01:10:19.680 That actually

01:10:20.780 happened again.

01:10:22.600 Now, I've only

01:10:23.660 seen the reports

01:10:24.460 of it.

01:10:25.640 Wisconsin is

01:10:26.520 showing that it

01:10:27.180 happened.

01:10:28.160 But the

01:10:28.720 sudden increase

01:10:30.520 in one vote

01:10:31.600 wasn't enough.

01:10:33.920 In other words,

01:10:34.520 it was too big

01:10:35.140 to rig.

01:10:35.720 It was literally

01:10:36.500 too big to rig

01:10:37.380 if those reports

01:10:38.900 are true.

01:10:39.880 Now, I'm having

01:10:40.680 a little trouble

01:10:41.380 believing that

01:10:44.060 somebody would

01:10:44.700 have cheated in

01:10:45.500 exactly that way

01:10:46.740 when it's exactly

01:10:48.040 what we're looking

01:10:48.720 for.

01:10:50.660 So it's got a

01:10:51.580 little bit of

01:10:52.020 the two on

01:10:52.660 the nose to

01:10:54.000 it.

01:10:54.660 So I'm not

01:10:55.660 going to say I

01:10:56.240 believe it's

01:10:56.820 true yet.

01:10:58.760 So if you've

01:10:59.980 seen a story

01:11:00.440 about Wisconsin

01:11:01.180 having a sudden

01:11:02.820 surge and only

01:11:03.900 Biden votes,

01:11:05.200 maybe,

01:11:06.740 maybe.

01:11:07.860 But just be

01:11:08.980 aware that it's

01:11:10.160 exactly the

01:11:11.140 kind of thing

01:11:11.860 that if there

01:11:12.480 were a fake

01:11:13.020 story, it

01:11:13.880 would look

01:11:14.180 just like it.

01:11:15.900 So I'm

01:11:18.340 on the fence

01:11:18.840 on this one.

01:11:19.460 So I'm not

01:11:19.880 going to say

01:11:20.220 that that's

01:11:20.640 likely to be

01:11:21.320 true or

01:11:21.740 likely to be

01:11:22.360 false.

01:11:23.580 Let's just

01:11:24.160 keep an eye

01:11:25.080 on it and

01:11:25.500 see if we

01:11:25.840 can find out

01:11:26.400 for sure.

01:11:27.560 But likewise,

01:11:28.420 there's stories

01:11:29.220 about Maricopa.

01:11:33.060 I won't

01:11:34.680 give you the

01:11:35.060 details.

01:11:35.580 You can find

01:11:36.000 that in the

01:11:36.540 Gateway Pundit.

01:11:37.720 Jordan Conradson's

01:11:39.120 writing about

01:11:39.580 that.

01:11:40.580 But we're in

01:11:41.340 the fog of

01:11:41.960 elections area,

01:11:43.940 and that means

01:11:45.540 that there will

01:11:46.120 be lots of

01:11:46.860 claims that

01:11:47.600 won't check

01:11:48.140 out.

01:11:48.940 There might be

01:11:49.840 some claims

01:11:50.500 that do check

01:11:51.640 out, and this

01:11:52.600 might be one of

01:11:53.220 them, but it's

01:11:54.240 too early to

01:11:54.820 know.

01:11:56.580 Too early to

01:11:57.360 know.

01:11:59.960 And then

01:12:00.740 this from

01:12:02.060 Breitbart,

01:12:03.060 Joel Pollack

01:12:03.960 is writing

01:12:04.380 that Iran 0.91

01:12:05.740 is reportedly

01:12:07.140 postponing its

01:12:08.040 promised third

01:12:08.780 ballistic missile

01:12:09.600 attack on

01:12:10.100 Israel.

01:12:10.920 So Israel and 0.70

01:12:11.580 Iran have been 1.00

01:12:12.160 doing the, you

01:12:13.040 know, if you

01:12:13.720 bomb me, I'm

01:12:14.440 going to bomb

01:12:14.780 you, but you

01:12:15.420 bomb me, so I'm 0.82

01:12:16.140 going to bomb

01:12:16.540 you back.

01:12:17.860 And in the

01:12:20.260 last round,

01:12:21.680 Israel completely 0.97

01:12:23.760 eliminated the

01:12:24.680 air defenses of

01:12:26.360 Iran.

01:12:27.180 So Iran is 0.90

01:12:28.080 sitting there

01:12:28.480 with no air

01:12:29.200 defense, and

01:12:30.860 suddenly, at the

01:12:32.100 same time, they

01:12:32.620 have no air

01:12:33.040 defense, they're

01:12:34.340 saying, you

01:12:34.660 know what, you

01:12:35.860 know what, maybe

01:12:36.640 we should, I

01:12:37.660 have, I got an

01:12:38.240 idea.

01:12:39.160 Let me just run

01:12:39.840 this past you.

01:12:41.000 What if, instead

01:12:43.040 of attacking

01:12:44.220 Israel, while we

01:12:46.460 have no longer

01:12:48.500 any air defense,

01:12:51.080 why don't we

01:12:51.980 maybe see if we

01:12:53.120 can make a deal

01:12:53.740 when Trump gets

01:12:54.480 in there?

01:12:57.020 So that's what

01:12:57.920 they're signaling.

01:12:58.400 they're going to

01:12:59.700 hold off in the

01:13:00.380 hopes of reaching

01:13:01.020 a deal with

01:13:01.560 President-elect

01:13:02.240 Trump, who I

01:13:03.660 call President

01:13:04.760 Trump.

01:13:08.300 What do you

01:13:08.820 think of that?

01:13:10.480 Now, on one

01:13:11.280 hand, of course,

01:13:12.200 they're just being

01:13:12.740 practical because

01:13:13.620 they just lost

01:13:14.300 their air defenses.

01:13:16.220 So talking is

01:13:18.140 sort of all they

01:13:18.740 have left, you

01:13:19.980 know what I

01:13:20.260 mean?

01:13:21.180 Well, we can,

01:13:22.280 they haven't

01:13:22.860 bombed our mouths 0.97

01:13:23.780 yet, so we can

01:13:24.460 still talk.

01:13:25.100 Let's talk.

01:13:26.940 So I'm going

01:13:28.980 to say it

01:13:29.440 again.

01:13:32.260 Trump is the

01:13:33.120 President-elect,

01:13:34.440 but he's also

01:13:36.780 the symbol of

01:13:37.560 the New Age,

01:13:38.580 and he's also

01:13:39.840 a legend.

01:13:41.580 He's a legend

01:13:42.440 in his own

01:13:43.160 time.

01:13:44.400 He's still with

01:13:45.300 us.

01:13:45.740 He just started.

01:13:46.920 He just started

01:13:47.980 his second term,

01:13:49.300 and he's a

01:13:49.980 legend.

01:13:51.180 Now, if you're

01:13:52.200 a legend, can

01:13:53.860 you get a peace

01:13:54.580 deal that's

01:13:55.080 somebody else

01:13:55.560 can't get

01:13:56.000 done?

01:13:57.140 Yes, you

01:13:57.620 can.

01:13:58.960 So Trump has

01:13:59.840 become what I

01:14:00.780 call everybody's

01:14:01.860 fake because.

01:14:04.200 The fake because

01:14:05.300 is something I've

01:14:06.080 been teaching my

01:14:07.120 audience for years

01:14:07.920 now.

01:14:08.620 It's the reason

01:14:10.020 you give that's

01:14:11.760 not the real

01:14:12.440 reason.

01:14:13.440 You just need a

01:14:14.260 reason that sounds

01:14:15.100 good and looks

01:14:15.700 good, and other

01:14:16.520 people think it's

01:14:17.180 a reason.

01:14:18.060 But your real

01:14:18.860 reason might be

01:14:20.460 something else,

01:14:21.000 and that's fine.

01:14:22.180 So Iran would 0.99

01:14:23.060 like to not be at

01:14:24.420 war and not be 0.98

01:14:25.060 destroyed.

01:14:26.240 So their fake

01:14:27.300 because is, oh,

01:14:28.660 hey, hey, got a

01:14:31.120 new president, so

01:14:32.960 wouldn't it make

01:14:33.680 sense to hold

01:14:34.720 our fire until we

01:14:36.680 see what the new

01:14:37.240 president's up to?

01:14:38.980 That's a fake

01:14:39.880 because.

01:14:41.140 The real because

01:14:42.080 might be that they

01:14:43.120 have no air

01:14:43.580 defense.

01:14:45.480 Likewise, over in

01:14:48.020 Ukraine and

01:14:48.540 Russia, the current 0.81

01:14:51.700 situation is, who's

01:14:53.860 going to win, which

01:14:55.500 is the wrong

01:14:56.020 frame.

01:14:57.420 Trump's going to

01:14:57.980 come in as the

01:14:59.080 legend who said

01:15:00.300 he's going to

01:15:00.740 solve it in one

01:15:01.580 day.

01:15:02.980 And then both

01:15:04.020 parties who really

01:15:04.920 want it to stop,

01:15:06.380 Russia doesn't want 1.00

01:15:07.140 the war, Ukraine

01:15:08.340 doesn't want the

01:15:09.000 war, but they 0.89

01:15:09.860 don't have a way to

01:15:10.500 stop.

01:15:11.660 So Trump comes in

01:15:12.860 and he says, I'm

01:15:13.680 going to threaten

01:15:14.180 both of you.

01:15:15.540 I threaten you

01:15:16.460 both.

01:15:17.080 I don't just

01:15:17.780 threaten Russia. 0.54

01:15:18.700 I threaten also

01:15:20.640 Ukraine.

01:15:21.760 And I'm going to

01:15:22.500 bring the biggest

01:15:23.140 stick and I'm

01:15:24.180 going to beat the

01:15:24.700 shit out of both

01:15:25.740 of you until you

01:15:27.180 give us peace.

01:15:29.160 What's that?

01:15:30.780 That's a fake

01:15:31.560 because.

01:15:33.360 Because they don't

01:15:34.180 need Trump.

01:15:35.220 Because they don't

01:15:36.000 want to be at war. 0.79

01:15:37.260 And they also, every

01:15:38.300 single person knows,

01:15:39.740 you know, there's

01:15:40.260 going to be a land

01:15:40.940 for peace situation

01:15:42.460 that looks about the

01:15:43.400 way things look now.

01:15:44.820 So, Ukraine and

01:15:47.040 Russia only need a 0.99

01:15:48.920 fake because.

01:15:49.920 They don't need a

01:15:50.600 real one.

01:15:51.460 They only need a 0.59

01:15:52.340 fake one.

01:15:53.200 And here it is.

01:15:54.400 It's the fake

01:15:54.940 because.

01:15:56.160 Because Trump.

01:15:58.160 Does China want to 0.96

01:15:59.960 have better relations

01:16:00.880 with the United

01:16:02.200 States?

01:16:03.600 Probably.

01:16:04.620 Because that would

01:16:05.140 be good for them.

01:16:06.580 Do you think that

01:16:07.220 there are hard

01:16:07.800 liners in China who

01:16:10.060 are telling President

01:16:11.120 Xi, no, no, no.

01:16:12.660 We must destroy the

01:16:13.840 United States.

01:16:14.820 We cannot be friends

01:16:15.900 with them.

01:16:17.000 Probably.

01:16:18.280 Probably.

01:16:19.580 What happens when

01:16:20.500 Trump comes in?

01:16:21.680 Then suddenly,

01:16:23.500 President Xi can say,

01:16:24.560 oh, are you watching

01:16:25.580 what's happening?

01:16:26.640 This guy is making

01:16:27.400 peace plans all over

01:16:28.460 the world.

01:16:29.120 He's revived the

01:16:30.480 American economy.

01:16:31.260 He's rebuilding the

01:16:32.260 military.

01:16:33.000 You know, guys, I hear

01:16:34.320 you, your hardline

01:16:35.640 stuff, and I've been

01:16:36.860 agreeing with you up

01:16:37.660 to now, but don't

01:16:39.360 you think now would be

01:16:40.820 the time to talk?

01:16:41.700 And then President

01:16:43.860 Xi gets a fake

01:16:45.600 because.

01:16:47.020 Because Trump.

01:16:49.420 So, do you think

01:16:52.140 you could get rid of

01:16:53.820 DEI in the military

01:16:54.860 without Trump?

01:16:57.180 Nope.

01:16:58.280 There's nobody else

01:16:59.360 who could do it.

01:17:00.860 You know, you'd need

01:17:01.480 a loyalist in there,

01:17:02.960 and it looks like you'll

01:17:03.620 have one.

01:17:04.000 So, the fake

01:17:06.520 because that comes

01:17:08.320 along with being a

01:17:09.260 legend that escaped

01:17:11.440 two assassination

01:17:12.300 attempts and had

01:17:14.980 the greatest third

01:17:16.060 act of all, of all

01:17:17.700 politics of all

01:17:18.540 time, that's really

01:17:21.300 powerful.

01:17:22.540 So, the golden age

01:17:24.080 could be completely

01:17:25.280 unlocked with fake

01:17:27.400 becauses, just

01:17:29.040 because Trump.

01:17:30.380 You could just add

01:17:31.540 because Trump in front

01:17:33.080 of every piece of

01:17:34.100 good news that you

01:17:34.940 hear from now on.

01:17:36.300 Why does Bill

01:17:36.960 Ackman say that 0.99

01:17:38.560 everybody's being

01:17:39.680 optimistic about

01:17:40.960 the country?

01:17:43.080 Because Trump.

01:17:45.000 Everybody wanted

01:17:45.880 to be optimistic,

01:17:47.480 right?

01:17:48.120 Everybody wanted

01:17:49.000 to invest.

01:17:50.380 Everybody wanted

01:17:51.040 to do more

01:17:51.600 business.

01:17:53.660 But they needed

01:17:54.540 Trump to say,

01:17:55.280 everything's okay,

01:17:56.160 I'm going to fix

01:17:56.720 everything, you know,

01:17:57.920 the country will be

01:17:58.680 fine, we'll pay

01:17:59.280 down our debt.

01:18:00.260 Oh.

01:18:01.220 Now, I think

01:18:01.620 those are true.

01:18:03.080 But they also

01:18:03.680 provide your

01:18:04.440 because Trump.

01:18:06.280 Everything's

01:18:06.800 because Trump.

01:18:09.600 And that, ladies 0.97

01:18:10.480 and gentlemen, is

01:18:12.100 my prepared

01:18:13.180 presentation for

01:18:14.060 today.

01:18:15.820 I hope you

01:18:16.620 enjoy the feeling

01:18:18.200 of optimism that

01:18:19.340 I'm, with any

01:18:20.360 luck, I

01:18:20.780 imparted.

01:18:22.000 And I'm

01:18:24.400 hoping that

01:18:27.280 those of you

01:18:28.020 on locals will

01:18:28.660 stick around.

01:18:29.360 I'm going to say

01:18:29.740 goodbye to the

01:18:30.340 YouTube and

01:18:31.660 X and

01:18:32.780 Rumble

01:18:33.300 audience.

01:18:35.360 And what's

01:18:36.600 that?

01:18:36.780 Thank you.
