Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2663 CWSA 11⧸18⧸24

00:00:00.000 do do do do do do do do do do

00:00:04.120 good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called

00:00:15.260 coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time but if you'd like to take your

00:00:20.580 experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny shiny human brains

00:00:27.240 All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stand in a canteen

00:00:31.360 jug or flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:33.920 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:35.580 I like coffee.

00:00:36.960 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing

00:00:40.680 that makes everything better.

00:00:41.980 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:00:52.160 Good morning, Paul.

00:00:54.000 Thank you.

00:00:56.520 It looks like all of our systems are working today.

00:01:01.620 Well, would you like to hear some potentially good science news?

00:01:06.640 Yes, you would.

00:01:07.460 I can see your heads are nodding at home.

00:01:09.360 Well, there's a new biodiesel that's 45 times more efficient, and it's cleaner.

00:01:16.920 How about that?

00:01:18.340 Coming from Washington University McKelvey School of Engineering.

00:01:21.200 Now, the two researchers, the colleagues, Joshua Juan and Susie Day.

00:01:29.840 Juan and Day.

00:01:32.800 So diesel fuel will be more efficient.

00:01:37.720 Juan Day.

00:01:38.400 That's right.

00:01:42.220 Dad joke.

00:01:43.940 Applied to science.

00:01:46.500 Yeah, so apparently they have some gigantic breakthrough.

00:01:49.720 It's going to take a while, of course, to turn it into something useful.

00:01:52.480 But it's electro-biodiesel, 45 times more efficient and cleaner than alternatives for our big trucks.

00:02:02.320 Exciting.

00:02:03.700 Exciting.

00:02:04.720 Now, did your climate models have any kind of variable for improving their efficiency by 45%?

00:02:13.600 No.

00:02:15.040 Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau announces that Canada is going to limit the number of immigrants over the next three years.

00:02:21.580 Turns out they just figured out they had too many immigrants to be able to absorb them all. 1.00

00:02:27.780 Now, question.

00:02:29.740 Was that going to happen on its own?

00:02:32.500 Or is that entirely because Trump made it safe?

00:02:35.640 Because as long as Trudeau doesn't look as mean as bad old Trump, he's got room to operate, right?

00:02:43.920 He just couldn't be the toughest guy on immigration, you know, in our area of the world.

00:02:50.660 So I think this is Trump.

00:02:53.720 Am I wrong?

00:02:55.040 Was this coincidentally going to happen right now?

00:02:58.020 That he was going to limit immigration?

00:02:59.540 So I don't know much about Canada, but it seems to me that Trump made this possible.

00:03:07.300 Maybe.

00:03:08.900 Meanwhile, Brendan Carr, who's been nominated for FCC chairman, he's on the FCC.

00:03:16.620 But he is one of the people that should be in the pirate ship or the founders.

00:03:22.580 If you're not watching Brendan Carr's work, especially on social media, but, you know, mostly behind the scenes doing the real work, he's one of the good guys.

00:03:32.240 Like one of the really good guys.

00:03:33.920 So he's working hard to get rid of the censorship regime.

00:03:38.840 And he said this.

00:03:41.280 He said the FCC's most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency's second highest strategic goal.

00:03:52.580 Can you even register that in your head?

00:03:56.860 That the FCC's second highest strategic goal, and they put it in writing, was DEI.

00:04:06.340 Their second highest goal was to be racist.

00:04:10.900 And we allowed that to just sort of exist.

00:04:15.800 And now Brendan Carr is going to come in and dismantle that right away.

00:04:20.280 And I have two words to say to Brendan Carr.

00:04:24.760 Thank you.

00:04:27.080 I sat there for a while thinking how to respond to that.

00:04:30.620 It was a post on X.

00:04:32.100 I thought, how do you respond to that?

00:04:35.100 I've been racially discriminated against in employment since the mid-80s.

00:04:43.060 You all know my story, right?

00:04:44.880 I got my career ended in the bank because they said I'm a white guy.

00:04:48.920 They can't promote me.

00:04:49.860 They said that directly.

00:04:51.680 You know, I'm not making it up.

00:04:53.540 I'm not reading between the lines.

00:04:55.520 They said, we can't promote you. 0.68

00:04:56.880 You're a white guy.

00:04:57.660 And it doesn't look like that's going to change.

00:04:59.580 So I changed jobs to Pacific Bell.

00:05:03.260 And I got in the management track.

00:05:05.640 But one day my boss called me in and said, word came down we can't promote you because you're white and male.

00:05:12.220 And I said, how long does that take?

00:05:15.300 And they said, indefinite.

00:05:18.440 And so I quit and I became a cartoonist and started competing against other cartoonists who were sometimes in the DEI category and they were doing great.

00:05:31.260 But Dilbert also succeeded.

00:05:34.280 However, the entire Dilbert career was thrown in the trash because of one comment I made that wouldn't have really bothered anybody if they understood it in context.

00:05:49.300 But if we live in the DEI world, then when you complain about racism, but you're white and male, the world says he is a racist.

00:06:00.700 And I say, wait a minute.

00:06:01.780 Wait a minute.

00:06:02.160 Did you even hear what I said?

00:06:03.060 I was complaining about racists.

00:06:06.000 I was complaining about racists.

00:06:08.200 I'm looking for the anti-racist world.

00:06:11.640 But in the DEI world, I get canceled because I can't even talk.

00:06:15.460 Don't even have free speech.

00:06:17.720 But Brendan Carr wants me to have free speech on all the platforms.

00:06:21.720 He wants me to have free speech and he wants to get rid of DEI, which is pure racism.

00:06:27.040 And I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me.

00:06:30.820 To me, this is like watching the Trump administration come in and have people who are going to be dismantling DEI.

00:06:42.540 This is the end of a very long road for me.

00:06:46.960 A very long road.

00:06:48.980 Now, I'm not going to compare my situation to slavery in the United States or Jim Crow.

00:06:55.480 I mean, it's not those things.

00:06:57.180 I understand those are a different level.

00:06:59.760 But it has been the bane of my existence since I entered the workplace.

00:07:05.360 And now, after it doesn't matter to me because I'm well beyond that point where it matters.

00:07:12.080 But at least it'll get fixed for somebody else.

00:07:15.240 At least it'll get fixed.

00:07:17.360 America, self-correcting. 0.79

00:07:19.080 There's a story that I believe is fake news that said that Mitch McConnell was not in favor of recess appointments and that there wouldn't be any.

00:07:31.380 I think that was withdrawn as fake news because there's no confirmation of it this morning.

00:07:37.680 And whoever, the person who first brought it up has removed it.

00:07:42.220 So I think you can put that on your mind.

00:07:44.500 I don't think that's real.

00:07:45.580 But maybe something will change.

00:07:49.760 According to Axios, who's making up some fake news, this is real news that's fake news.

00:07:55.800 So it's both real and fake.

00:07:58.240 What makes it real is that, of course, it's real.

00:08:00.960 I'm going to tell you something that's so obvious that you wouldn't need any news entity to tell you.

00:08:06.060 You would just say, well, of course that's real.

00:08:09.040 But the part that's fake is there's news.

00:08:13.000 So it's real.

00:08:14.600 But why is this news?

00:08:17.160 Here's the news that Elon Musk has quickly become an influential figure in Trump's inner circle.

00:08:25.820 We knew that.

00:08:26.780 But there are signs of tension between Musk and longtime Trump advisors over cabinet appointments and stuff.

00:08:35.140 People, that's the way it's supposed to work.

00:08:38.680 Wouldn't you be a lot more worried if there were no tensions about who gets appointed?

00:08:45.560 Are you serious?

00:08:48.080 Those of you who have spent a second in the real world, it's the tension you need.

00:08:53.500 You don't need the agreement.

00:08:55.940 It's a pirate ship.

00:08:57.720 It's not a pirate ship full of agreeers.

00:09:01.120 It's not the founders who all had the same idea about the Constitution.

00:09:06.040 Have you heard about the founders?

00:09:07.180 They had some disagreements.

00:09:09.320 It was a lot of friction.

00:09:10.920 It was the friction that made the country great.

00:09:14.100 It wasn't the agreement.

00:09:15.660 It was the friction among honorable people.

00:09:20.940 That's the key.

00:09:22.960 Friction is good among honorable people who have good intentions.

00:09:27.460 Trump has assembled honorable people who have good intentions.

00:09:30.940 Do I want to see a little friction out of it?

00:09:33.200 Yes, I do.

00:09:34.200 I want to see a little bit of disagreeing.

00:09:36.140 I want to see some honest back and forth.

00:09:38.640 I want to see the smartest people in the world debate it.

00:09:42.040 But here's what's funny.

00:09:44.400 And this is going to sound like I'm insulting somebody, but I'm not.

00:09:49.220 So I'll tell you in advance that this is not an insult to the person I'm going to mention.

00:09:53.220 I'm just randomly picking a name, actually.

00:09:57.540 Imagine you're in an inner circle meeting trying to decide on a nomination.

00:10:03.260 You're with Trump.

00:10:04.880 And one of you is Elon Musk.

00:10:07.440 And he's saying, I think we should nominate this person.

00:10:10.700 And the other one is Corey Lewandowski.

00:10:18.520 Now, the reason it's funny is not because Corey Lewandowski is not good at his job.

00:10:27.040 Apparently, he's so good at his job that he's back on the job.

00:10:31.860 So even Corey Lewandowski, who you would consider especially good at his job, because he's back, right?

00:10:40.180 He wouldn't be back if he weren't good at it.

00:10:41.820 But when you're in the room and the other person who disagrees with you is generally considered the smartest person on the planet,

00:10:50.740 you know, maybe not in pure IQ, but certainly in understanding how things work and how to make something work and how to engineer a good solution.

00:11:00.760 So how does that conversation go?

00:11:03.300 Is Trump sitting there and saying, OK, all right, anybody have an opinion?

00:11:06.860 Corey?

00:11:07.740 Corey?

00:11:08.560 I think we should nominate this person.

00:11:10.620 All right, good.

00:11:11.820 Good reasons you had there.

00:11:13.680 Anybody else?

00:11:14.920 Elon.

00:11:16.060 Elon.

00:11:17.000 And then what happens after that?

00:11:19.700 Do the other people in the room say, you know, I got to disagree with Elon on this one.

00:11:26.240 How exactly does that conversation go?

00:11:28.720 If you put me in a room with Elon Musk and he went first and he said his idea and my idea was the opposite of that, do you know what I'd do? 0.98

00:11:37.820 I'd shut the fuck up because I'd shut the fuck up because I'm pretty sure I don't have better ideas than he does. 0.91

00:11:43.760 Like I might say, well, you know, maybe you should consider this variable, but I sure as hell wouldn't put myself out there in direct disagreement with one of the smartest people on the planet. 0.99

00:11:56.660 That's just me.

00:11:57.580 But maybe Corey can.

00:11:59.140 Anyway, it doesn't matter what the nature of the friction is.

00:12:05.420 We want it.

00:12:06.760 Give me a little bit of friction.

00:12:08.900 These are powerful people with strong opinions.

00:12:11.360 If you put them in one place and they all agreed with each other, I'd be frightened to death.

00:12:16.740 Frightened to death.

00:12:18.380 You don't want agreement.

00:12:20.060 You need strong people with different opinions.

00:12:23.600 But honorable people who can figure out how to make it work.

00:12:28.960 Well, Just the News.

00:12:30.860 That's a news site called Just the News.

00:12:32.720 I was talking about the two states that are still desperately trying to figure out how the election went.

00:12:40.760 Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

00:12:42.880 Now, I saw some people on social media say, can we agree that if it takes two weeks to count your votes, your state is rigged?

00:12:52.280 I agree with that.

00:12:53.180 If we needed to set a standard for when you have to just throw out the whole result, two weeks.

00:13:01.900 I'd say if you don't have a result in two weeks, you have to stop counting.

00:13:06.180 And, you know, the result is wherever it is when you stop.

00:13:09.580 Or you have to throw out the state.

00:13:12.000 You just have to toss it out.

00:13:13.380 Say, your state didn't make it this year.

00:13:15.720 I would be perfectly happy, I think, unless it means that Trump wouldn't win.

00:13:20.100 If both Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were denied any count, just say you don't count.

00:13:30.520 Now, the current rules don't allow that.

00:13:32.420 But if you can imagine hypothetically in a perfect world, I think two weeks of counting votes is so absurdly out of line.

00:13:40.800 And I can't think of any reason to do it other than to throw the election.

00:13:45.820 No reason at all.

00:13:47.580 I say those states shouldn't count.

00:13:50.100 Maybe take them out of the mix entirely.

00:13:54.160 Now, that's probably, you know, of course, that's unconstitutional.

00:13:56.980 You can't do anything like that.

00:13:58.520 So I'm being a little hyperbolic.

00:14:00.520 But my point is, I do not trust whatever they come up with.

00:14:04.840 I'll like it if it favors my side.

00:14:08.000 I'll like it.

00:14:08.800 I'm not going to trust it.

00:14:10.360 Those are two states that have lost my trust in their system completely.

00:14:15.000 Completely.

00:14:16.360 So here's what's going on.

00:14:19.000 Again, this is from just the news is reporting.

00:14:23.320 So in Pennsylvania, we've already got a senator who has been named the winner.

00:14:29.600 It's McCormick.

00:14:30.160 He's even attended the new senator briefings in Washington and everything.

00:14:36.020 But they're still counting.

00:14:38.260 And apparently, they've decided to count ballots that are invalid.

00:14:44.820 So the ones that the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled, even before the election, they ruled

00:14:52.120 that these kinds of ballots cannot be counted.

00:14:55.340 So those would be the ones that are mail-in that don't have proper dates or signatures.

00:14:58.780 And so the ruling is clear, and it comes from the right ruling body, the Pennsylvania Supreme

00:15:08.140 Court.

00:15:08.820 It was before the election, and it was unambiguous.

00:15:13.300 These will not count.

00:15:15.480 So do you know what Pennsylvania is doing?

00:15:17.380 They're counting the ones that don't count, because doing so seems to be able to give them

00:15:23.620 an advantage.

00:15:24.200 So where is that going to end up?

00:15:29.060 Is it possible that they're going to count so many votes that they found that it's going

00:15:35.620 to change the election?

00:15:37.980 Well, that looks all sketchy to me.

00:15:40.100 But what about Wisconsin?

00:15:42.820 We've got a little problem in Wisconsin.

00:15:45.300 So the AP called it for the incumbent, Senator Tammy Baldwin, the day after the election.

00:15:51.980 And Baldwin has about 29,000 more votes than the Republican.

00:15:58.880 However, it's being reported that on Tuesday, that must have been election night, somebody

00:16:07.460 named Havdi posted a video on X about some overnight ballot dumps after election day.

00:16:14.740 Oh, after election day.

00:16:15.740 It must have been a week later.

00:16:16.540 I was shocked what unfolded on election night, Havdi said.

00:16:21.840 At 1 a.m., I was receiving calls of congratulations based on the models.

00:16:26.800 It appeared I would win the Senate race.

00:16:29.120 Then at 4 a.m., Milwaukee reported approximately 108,000 absentee ballots, with Senator Baldwin receiving

00:16:36.280 nearly 90% of those ballots.

00:16:38.120 Now, believe it or not, that wasn't far off from reality, because the same day voting,

00:16:46.580 he only received 22% of the votes, but the mail-ins were only 10%.

00:16:52.580 Now, I agree that it seems highly unlikely that the same day voting would be that different

00:16:59.140 from the mail-in voting.

00:17:00.460 And it looks like the mail-in voting was rigged.

00:17:06.040 It has every tell for being rigged.

00:17:09.080 Was it?

00:17:09.720 Well, I don't know.

00:17:11.240 If I made that claim for sure, I wouldn't have proof.

00:17:14.360 But based on the reporting, if it's true that, so if these facts are true that at 4 a.m.

00:17:21.900 after the election, they got 108,000 mail-in ballots, and 22% of them, instead of what you

00:17:29.240 expected, 10% went one way, that looks like cheating to me.

00:17:35.180 I don't know what you do about it.

00:17:37.420 What do you do about it?

00:17:39.520 I don't know.

00:17:40.120 I guess we'll find out.

00:17:40.940 Well, meanwhile, on Meet the Press, Kristen Welker, she goes, this is under the category

00:17:50.520 of Democrats desperately trying to figure out what they did wrong.

00:17:55.380 Now, what's funny is that they did everything wrong, everything.

00:17:59.960 So when they're looking to see what they did wrong, they're blinded by the fact it's like

00:18:04.660 a blizzard of wrongness.

00:18:06.480 Everything they did was wrong, from the candidate they picked, the messages they used, the techniques

00:18:13.260 they used for campaigning.

00:18:15.940 I don't think anything they did was as good as what Trump did.

00:18:20.840 Probably nothing.

00:18:22.520 But they keep trying to figure it down.

00:18:25.380 And Kristen Welker, who hosts Meet the Press and NBC, she called out one of the hosts, a Democrat,

00:18:34.780 looked like a Democrat pundit, Eugene Daniels, for saying something about we need the adults

00:18:41.280 in the room.

00:18:42.740 Now, the adults, as he referred to it, meant the Democrats, the adults.

00:18:48.760 And Kristen Welker pointed out that Kristen turned to Jen because Jen was the next person 1.00

00:18:58.260 she wanted to talk to.

00:18:59.360 So she wasn't disagreeing with Jen.

00:19:00.880 She was disagreeing with Eugene Daniels.

00:19:03.360 But she was taking that disagreement to Jen for her comment. 0.99

00:19:07.220 So Kristen Welker says, Jen, that tonal issue being the, quote, adults in the room, 0.99

00:19:12.840 I've heard some Democrats privately say that came off as condescending.

00:19:16.120 That's part of what needs to be addressed as well.

00:19:20.480 So you think to yourself, oh, they're getting it.

00:19:24.260 They're getting it.

00:19:25.640 So one of them says the adults in the room, but Kristen Welker, now she's figured out that

00:19:31.840 that's the kind of tone that's bad.

00:19:33.200 So she calls it out and she asks Jen Psaki to, you know, agree with her that that's exactly 1.00

00:19:39.600 the kind of tone that they want to avoid.

00:19:41.740 Do you know what Jen Psaki said?

00:19:43.780 Quote, adults in the room.

00:19:46.120 Adults in the room has many meanings.

00:19:48.840 And we've learned nothing.

00:19:52.920 No, adults in the room has one meaning. 1.00

00:19:55.940 The person who said it is an asshole. 1.00

00:19:58.980 It has one meaning. 1.00

00:20:01.020 Because nobody takes it seriously that there are no adults in the room.

00:20:06.460 It only has one meaning no matter what the speaker says.

00:20:09.900 What the speaker says is not even related to anything.

00:20:12.340 It has one meaning. 1.00

00:20:13.780 The person saying it is a fucking asshole. 1.00

00:20:17.120 So, Jen, it may mean that it has many meanings that you intend. 1.00

00:20:23.300 But there's only one meaning we receive. 1.00

00:20:27.080 The only one we get is, man, you're an asshole. 1.00

00:20:31.620 How about treating everybody like adults? 1.00

00:20:34.400 How about that?

00:20:35.280 How about talking about the policy instead of the people?

00:20:37.780 You see the pattern?

00:20:40.580 They talk about the people being defective, not their policies.

00:20:45.800 And if they can't figure that out, that the problem is they need better policies and stop insulting the people, they can't figure it out.

00:20:58.120 Why?

00:20:59.040 I think it might be that dark triad thing that Jordan Peterson always talks about.

00:21:04.000 I think there might be some narcissistic, gaslighting, psychopath kind of thing going on that may have taken control.

00:21:14.340 You know, the people who are making the decisions probably are in deep therapy about their, well, maybe they're the ones who don't go to therapy.

00:21:23.240 I don't know.

00:21:23.640 So, meanwhile, here's a fun story, two fun stories that fit together well.

00:21:29.600 Did you know that many years ago, Joe Scarborough did an interview with a younger RFK junior, and the two of them were in great agreement on their personal beliefs that childhood vaccinations cause autism?

00:21:44.900 And the reason that Joe Scarborough believes that's true is that his son was born in 1991, two years after the massive amount of vaccinations started being common.

00:21:59.040 And he says his son is on the spectrum as a form of Asperger's.

00:22:05.120 So, not only is Joe Scarborough open to the idea that vaccinations cause harm, at least at one point, he was pretty sure it harmed his own son.

00:22:19.780 So, did you know that?

00:22:23.060 Did you know that?

00:22:23.840 I mean, wasn't that also the same time he was, was he a Republican then?

00:22:31.340 He changed from Republican to Democrat, didn't he?

00:22:34.380 Do I remember that correctly?

00:22:37.940 Anyway, so it was kind of amazing to see him agree with that.

00:22:41.200 Now, I don't have an opinion on that yet.

00:22:43.900 My opinion agrees with, I think, RFK juniors, that we don't have a good enough science.

00:22:51.640 So, am I concerned that both of these gentlemen were fairly confident that there's a direct connection between these things?

00:23:03.600 You have my attention.

00:23:04.980 And I'm going to say that I was one of the people that for 20 years, whenever I heard somebody was a vaccine denier, I had a negative opinion.

00:23:16.580 I had a negative opinion.

00:23:17.900 Do you know why?

00:23:19.280 I thought science was real.

00:23:24.020 I lived in a world where I could observe that every other domain was completely corrupt, because I was in those other domains, so I could see how bad they were.

00:23:33.120 But I wasn't really in any kind of a science domain, so I figured, oh, science must be right, but everything else is broken.

00:23:42.760 But there's a reason for that.

00:23:44.200 Scientists are smarter, and they have the scientific method, which catches mistakes. 1.00

00:23:49.900 So, yeah, obviously the scientists are getting it right, but everyone else, everyone else is corrupt and stupid and lying. 0.99

00:23:57.380 But the scientists, they got it right. 0.99

00:24:00.000 Later, when I was the adult in the room and no longer operating like a child, I realized, wait a minute, everything looks the same.

00:24:13.000 Every domain has people trying to get away with things, and if they can get away with it, they do.

00:24:19.540 So, now I understand it differently.

00:24:21.680 All right, also talking about Morning Joe, apparently Morning Joe and Mika kind of quietly asked if they could go visit Trump at Mar-a-Lago, and he said yes.

00:24:39.280 Now, what do you think that's all about?

00:24:42.800 So, then they came back, and apparently they had not spoken to Trump in seven years.

00:24:47.100 I didn't know that, and they said it was, you know, important to speak with him, and, you know, they wanted to, they wanted to, quote, restart communications, according to Mika.

00:24:57.300 They made sure that you knew, just so you know.

00:25:00.880 They don't see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues with Mr. Trump, but they did think it was important to restart communications, and Trump took the meeting, and they came back, and now they've opened up a channel.

00:25:13.980 So, how do you interpret that?

00:25:20.700 Here's how I interpret it.

00:25:24.000 You've heard the rumors that MSNBC is up for sale, or they'd like to sell it. 0.94

00:25:30.540 Now, I don't know if that's true, but if I owned that property and I saw what it was doing, I'd certainly want to sell it, if you could find somebody dumb enough to buy it.

00:25:39.760 But, who's going to buy a pure propaganda network? 0.67

00:25:43.980 It's not even news.

00:25:45.480 It's not even in the domain of news.

00:25:47.760 It's pure propaganda.

00:25:49.720 What would make them less pure propaganda?

00:25:53.540 Well, for one thing, maybe they would sometimes talk to some credible Republicans, which probably would not even be willing to go on their show.

00:26:01.640 But, if you can convince Trump that talking to MSNBC is worth your time, then the senators might say, well, if Trump does it, I can do it, etc.

00:26:14.800 So, it could be that what they're trying to do is paint the turd in case they can sell it.

00:26:23.560 So, if somebody says, hey, you're all propaganda, who wants to buy a propaganda network?

00:26:28.260 That makes no sense.

00:26:29.760 They can say, oh, well, I think we used to be kind of biased, but now, look, we have a relationship with Trump, and we had a bunch of Republicans on, and so we're showing all sides now.

00:26:40.640 So, we're more like news and news opinion now.

00:26:45.140 I think it's something they had to do to sell it, just by guess.

00:26:51.180 Or, at the very least, it's something they had to do to stay on the air, because if they haven't talked to the president in seven years, and their show is mostly about the president, well, it makes them a little bit irrelevant if they don't have any relationship whatsoever with him.

00:27:08.540 So, was Trump smart to take the meeting, and I assume he was professional and friendly?

00:27:17.540 Yes.

00:27:19.040 Trump is trying to send a message that he's not against any Republicans, even his enemies.

00:27:26.840 He's just trying to fix stuff.

00:27:28.520 So, exactly the right move by, really, all of them.

00:27:35.120 So, all of them made the right move.

00:27:37.280 But watching MSNBC trying to figure out what's going to work is tough.

00:27:41.840 If they give any time to Republicans, they're going to lose the rest of their left-leaning audience, because their left-leaning audience is not turning on MSNBC to see both sides.

00:27:52.460 They've been filtered down to people who only want to see one side.

00:27:57.040 Otherwise, they'd be watching something else.

00:27:59.040 So, they should lose all of their remaining audience if they try to find the middle, like CNN sometimes does.

00:28:06.320 And then they're just going to lose to CNN, basically.

00:28:08.960 So, I don't see how they survive, actually.

00:28:10.860 Speaking of CNN, Jake Tapper had Adam Schiff on, and he brought up the fact that Schiff had been basically lying about the whole Russia occlusion thing.

00:28:39.940 Now, Jake was, you know, professional about it.

00:28:43.640 He didn't say it the way I said it. 1.00

00:28:44.960 You know, you fucking liar. 1.00

00:28:46.380 You lied and destroyed the country with your Russia occlusion thing. 1.00

00:28:50.300 And what does Schiff say?

00:28:52.300 He says, the fact that we didn't find proof beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't mean there wasn't evidence of conspiracy.

00:28:58.920 And he gave us his top example that one of Trump's people gave some internal polling to a Russian oligarch.

00:29:06.940 Because that's what we were worried about, right?

00:29:10.740 Oh, my God.

00:29:11.680 My God.

00:29:12.920 I hope.

00:29:14.700 I just hope that no Russian oligarch ever sees the internal polling data, which is basically obsolete in one week.

00:29:24.520 And that one time that they saw it.

00:29:26.720 And the guy who did that went to jail.

00:29:31.880 And nobody said that had anything to do with Trump. 0.97

00:29:35.180 So Schiff is maybe the biggest famous liar in the country. 0.58

00:29:40.020 Anyway, it makes you wonder how that segment got booked.

00:29:51.080 You know, do you think the CNN management was sitting around in a meeting and they're saying, you know, hey, our ratings are way down because no one trusts our news to be real.

00:30:00.780 What should we do?

00:30:02.320 Hmm.

00:30:03.100 Nobody trusts our news to be real news.

00:30:05.980 What can we do?

00:30:07.600 And then Jake Tapper says, you know, I'm just imagining this.

00:30:10.480 He didn't really say this.

00:30:11.880 I've got an idea.

00:30:13.260 Let's invite Adam Schiff to lie about Russia collusion because that always works.

00:30:18.680 Like, how exactly is the reasoning going over there?

00:30:23.200 It must be a tough row.

00:30:24.620 Meanwhile, speaking of Jen Psaki, Fox News is reporting that she said somewhere that Democrats are lost in the wilderness without a clear leader after Trump's victory.

00:30:39.360 Well, I would agree with that.

00:30:41.060 It is not obvious to me that they have a clear leader.

00:30:44.140 They always have Adam Schiff.

00:30:46.600 I think Adam Schiff should be their leader.

00:30:50.340 Everybody OK with that?

00:30:51.500 So when you look at their bench, you know, their Biden is toast and Kamala Harris was destroyed in the process.

00:31:01.000 Tim Walsh was never taken seriously.

00:31:04.220 And.

00:31:05.320 And Psaki is thinking maybe some of the governors.

00:31:09.620 When was the last time a governor controlled the national party?

00:31:16.240 Has that ever happened?

00:31:17.400 There have certainly been governors who ran and, you know, while they were running, they were in control of the party.

00:31:24.120 But if you're not running for president, like really actively running, can you be a governor of a state and be seen as the leader of the national party?

00:31:36.480 I say no.

00:31:39.040 I say no.

00:31:40.080 I mean, you could have somebody like, you know, Hochul or Governor Newsom can make news and they can do interviews and the interviews will be quoted and it may be something that other Democrats agree with.

00:31:54.020 But you're never really going to see a governor as a national leader, are you?

00:31:59.640 I feel like it's in the name that they're not because you can't be both the national and the state person.

00:32:05.860 There are too many conflicts here.

00:32:08.100 So.

00:32:11.180 Here's what I realized.

00:32:14.360 I could run for I could run for president as a Democrat because I'm a registered Democrat, if you didn't know.

00:32:21.860 And I think I could win.

00:32:25.580 Here's how.

00:32:28.640 Now, don't worry about it because I'm not going to run.

00:32:31.560 But here's what here's what I do if I were running for office.

00:32:35.440 I would say, you know, Republicans are awesome.

00:32:39.720 I'd start there.

00:32:42.240 Republicans are awesome.

00:32:43.960 Independence, too.

00:32:45.700 Awesome people.

00:32:47.060 We should do more things with them.

00:32:49.720 I recommend talking to your neighbors more.

00:32:52.380 You'll be smarter.

00:32:53.900 All right.

00:32:54.120 So there's my start.

00:32:55.000 Then what about the topics?

00:32:59.380 They'd say to me, Scott, you're running for president.

00:33:01.560 Now you have to weigh in on abortion.

00:33:03.360 I know you don't like talking about it because you're a man and you say, you know, men should stay out of it or at least, you know, move to the back row.

00:33:11.860 To which I'd say, well, now that I'm president, I do have an opinion.

00:33:16.520 It should be up to the states.

00:33:18.800 No, I know.

00:33:19.340 But what's your opinion?

00:33:21.020 It should be up to the states.

00:33:22.780 But what do you think?

00:33:24.260 I'm done.

00:33:25.380 It's a state matter.

00:33:27.280 All right.

00:33:28.560 What else you got?

00:33:31.420 Well, I've got name recognition.

00:33:32.860 So I have name recognition.

00:33:35.980 Now you're going to say to me, but Scott, you were famously canceled for saying some things that not a single Democrat is going to like.

00:33:46.400 To which I say, have you noticed the last eight years?

00:33:53.320 Who's your president?

00:33:55.740 The person who said the most provocative things.

00:34:00.900 Do you think that an energy monster can't take that and turn it into a national platform?

00:34:07.460 Because I can.

00:34:09.220 I'm not going to run.

00:34:10.300 Don't worry.

00:34:11.580 But is it possible?

00:34:12.700 Yes, absolutely.

00:34:13.820 Every time I got interviewed, I would be asked that question.

00:34:16.880 And then I would get to say what I want to say.

00:34:19.560 But they wouldn't not be able to interview me because I'm already too provocative.

00:34:25.640 Right?

00:34:26.080 If I were just the cartoonist running for office, mildly interesting.

00:34:33.700 If I were the cartoonist who was canceled during the darkest years of the American Republic, in my opinion, I guess you'd count, maybe you'd count slavery as the darkest opinion.

00:34:44.780 And then, you know, maybe a few down from that, maybe the fourth darkest time in American history, something like that.

00:34:52.000 But I think that I could take that story and say, which I would, you realize that I was railing against discrimination.

00:35:01.080 I said, if it's true that black Americans have this bad opinion of white Americans, which is what a survey said, if the survey is true, this would suggest that we shouldn't have more separation because it looks like it'd be a real problem. 0.64

00:35:18.060 And, by the way, I would advise black people, if they're thinking of moving into a new town, and one of the towns is known for having a heavy emphasis of Ku Klux Klan membership, and the other one is not, I would say every time you should pick the one not.

00:35:36.440 Because, although I'm not saying anything bad about any one person in that town, I'm saying that as a collective risk, if you've got that many people in the town who are racist against you, well, you should avoid that town.

00:35:52.220 Likewise, anybody else who has some big community of people of which 25% or a third of them think that you're not worth life, you should avoid them really hard.

00:36:05.220 You should avoid them as hard as you can.

00:36:08.700 But, again, it has nothing to do with any individual.

00:36:11.720 I say, as I say often, discriminating against an individual doesn't help you.

00:36:18.280 It just lowers your choices in life.

00:36:21.460 Fewer people to hire, fewer people to have romance with, fewer friends, fewer customers, fewer bosses.

00:36:29.300 So discrimination doesn't make sense for the person doing it.

00:36:32.760 And it certainly doesn't make sense for the person who's receiving it.

00:36:37.940 So I completely disagree with any one-on-one individual discrimination because who benefits?

00:36:47.000 It's a lose-lose scenario.

00:36:49.220 There's no argument for it.

00:36:50.940 But staying away from communities which have said out loud on a survey, or in the case of the KKK, put on outfits and marched around with burning crosses, if that's happening, stay away.

00:37:06.700 Now, I think I could turn the controversy about me into a platform where people will listen to whatever the hell I say.

00:37:17.880 That's what Trump did.

00:37:20.620 And could I turn that into a win?

00:37:24.820 Probably.

00:37:25.220 When it came to immigration, could I say something that Democrats and Republicans would agree with?

00:37:32.760 I can.

00:37:34.220 I would say we should get a team of bipartisan economists.

00:37:39.120 And the bipartisan economists, every year, should look at our current situation and decide who can come in, in general, and what kind of skills we should be filtering for.

00:37:50.160 And then every year, you adjust that.

00:37:53.660 And every year, it's not political.

00:37:55.600 It's economic.

00:37:57.160 What did the economists say this time?

00:37:58.820 Well, we need about a million people to pick.

00:38:01.440 And our population is a little low.

00:38:03.860 So it would be nice if we had just a couple million good people who want to, you know, want to become Americans.

00:38:11.760 And they've got all the right stuff.

00:38:14.080 So I could pretty much, and then I could fix schools, of course, and I would want no wars, and I'd want lower taxes on the middle class.

00:38:24.040 I could run as almost a Republican that Democrats would say, oh, yeah, that does make sense.

00:38:31.600 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:38:33.440 No, I'm not going to run.

00:38:34.700 But they do have a big hole there, and it wouldn't be hard to fill it if they had any quality candidates, which I'm wondering about.

00:38:41.980 So instead, the Democratic strategy seems to be to turn into Triumph the Insult Dog.

00:38:49.200 Do you remember Triumph the Insult Dog was a hand puppet on Conan O'Brien?

00:38:54.140 And he was a recurring character, and all he would do is just insult people.

00:39:01.200 Your immigration policy, I poop on it. 1.00

00:39:03.760 So maybe that wasn't their best strategy for winning the national race, insult dog triumph, which is interesting because you can't spell Trump without triumph, or you can't spell triumph without Trump.

00:39:21.620 According to Trump, you know, some people said, does he really think he can get Matt Gaetz approved as attorney general?

00:39:29.440 Well, because that's a pretty provocative choice.

00:39:33.440 Trump is certainly sending every signal that he's not only serious about it, but very serious about it, as in he's going to make this happen.

00:39:44.460 Can he?

00:39:45.540 I don't know.

00:39:47.220 I don't know.

00:39:48.000 He would have to beat the crap out of some Republicans to vote for Gaetz, because Gaetz is not the most important.

00:39:54.220 He's not the most popular person, even among Republicans.

00:39:58.880 But what fights do the Republicans want to have?

00:40:05.200 So even Republicans know that they will have their moments of disagreement with the White House.

00:40:10.640 Is this the fight they want?

00:40:13.720 Because even the people who think that Matt Gaetz has whatever character problems they want to talk about from his younger single life,

00:40:22.040 and maybe they're all true, well, at least the ones that are legal.

00:40:27.000 Let's say the things that are legal, let's say he did all of them.

00:40:33.420 Does it matter?

00:40:36.700 How many of you want to speak?

00:40:39.120 How many of you want to answer for your younger 20s?

00:40:43.680 Did you do anything in your 20s you don't want to talk about now?

00:40:48.240 Anybody?

00:40:48.620 If you're judging people from what they did when they were single in their 20s,

00:40:53.900 you're just going to lose all your good people.

00:40:57.280 I don't think we've ever had a really powerful, good national leader 1.00

00:41:02.980 who wasn't a piece of shit in their 20s. 1.00

00:41:07.160 Probably. 1.00

00:41:08.300 Right?

00:41:09.040 I mean, everybody was a little worse in those days.

00:41:14.560 Myself included, of course.

00:42:17.860 So, I think that Trump may, in fact,

00:42:22.400 be able to get Republicans to understand

00:42:24.560 that Gates is,

00:42:27.560 he's a person with the right risk-reward loyalty combination.

00:42:32.500 So, you don't want somebody who's timid

00:42:35.840 who only goes for the easy wins

00:42:38.160 because we need a very, very difficult win.

00:42:42.020 We need the people who are not good for the system to be removed.

00:42:46.840 And to do that, 0.99

00:42:47.520 you're going to need the biggest bastard in the world. 1.00

00:42:50.720 You're going to need a bastard. 1.00

00:42:52.780 You're going to need somebody who can remove McCarthy. 1.00

00:42:57.060 And I don't even have an opinion about that.

00:42:59.780 I don't have an opinion about the McCarthy thing

00:43:02.060 because I didn't really,

00:43:03.000 I never really followed the details of it.

00:43:05.180 So, I don't know.

00:43:06.060 Should he have been removed?

00:43:07.520 I don't know.

00:43:08.000 I don't have an opinion.

00:43:09.340 But I know it happened.

00:43:11.880 And if you can do that with your own colleague,

00:43:14.580 the most important colleague in your entire body,

00:43:17.800 and you can do that, 1.00

00:43:19.900 then I'm not too worried that you can fire some assholes 1.00

00:43:22.500 in the Department of Justice. 0.99

00:43:24.720 I think maybe that would be well within your capabilities.

00:43:28.760 So, I want somebody who's got a legal background.

00:43:31.060 Check.

00:43:32.120 I want somebody who has absolute loyalty to Trump

00:43:36.000 because the Attorney General is his biggest risk.

00:43:38.920 His biggest risk is bad people in our government

00:43:41.720 coming after him before or after he's president.

00:43:46.080 So, yes, I want maximum loyalty.

00:43:48.640 And by the way, I wouldn't say that in a normal situation.

00:43:50.940 In a normal situation,

00:43:52.960 I'd say I want a good independent person in this job,

00:43:55.720 but not this time.

00:43:57.540 The lawfare is so bad

00:43:59.320 that now the old rules of just get a good independent Attorney General,

00:44:04.260 nope.

00:44:05.100 I'm sorry, that's not good enough.

00:44:06.860 I want somebody who is biased as hell,

00:44:10.140 like super, super biased in favor of free speech,

00:44:14.160 in favor of no lawfare,

00:44:16.340 in favor of keeping Trump in power

00:44:18.460 as long as he's not broken any laws.

00:44:20.940 So, can Trump make that a sale?

00:44:27.100 I'm going to say yes.

00:44:30.020 And I believe he just needs to get all of his own people to say yes, right?

00:44:35.160 That's the situation.

00:44:36.720 Or is it going to be a,

00:44:38.160 oh, I guess it's going to be maybe a recess appointment

00:44:42.180 so nobody gets to vote.

00:44:43.640 But you want people to not complain about it too.

00:44:47.100 So apparently Mike Johnson's on board.

00:44:49.900 Mike Johnson's on board with Gates.

00:44:53.120 And if you can get the,

00:44:54.460 you know, the Speaker of the House on board,

00:44:57.720 you can get the President on board.

00:45:00.220 Maybe at least two-thirds of the Republicans

00:45:02.440 are probably on board automatically.

00:45:03.960 I think the other third have to maybe decide

00:45:08.680 this isn't where they're going to plant their flag.

00:45:11.620 There'll be plenty of other times

00:45:13.440 they can maybe plant a flag on an issue.

00:45:17.820 This isn't the time.

00:45:18.820 I would let this one go if I were you guys.

00:45:23.960 So, Republicans,

00:45:25.180 I know you want to say blah, blah, character, blah, blah.

00:45:29.720 Don't like what he did here or there.

00:45:31.860 But this is one of those times

00:45:33.540 I think you need to be on the same side.

00:45:37.300 Maybe more important than just about anything else that happens.

00:45:40.120 Because if you don't get this part right,

00:45:42.880 the Attorney General,

00:45:44.100 I don't know that you can get three other parts right.

00:45:46.760 I feel like this is the minimum requirement

00:45:50.380 for any chance of success and making big changes.

00:45:56.820 Nicole Shanahan continues to be a national asset.

00:46:01.740 Here she is talking about farmland.

00:46:04.280 Now, what I like about this is that we often have issues

00:46:06.940 that we should be treating as our biggest issues.

00:46:11.300 But it's not sexy, so you don't.

00:46:13.960 So you need somebody who's willing to,

00:46:15.540 remind you that some of this non-sexy stuff is important.

00:46:19.860 And she points out the U.S. ranks near the bottom

00:46:21.980 in total farmland,

00:46:23.360 yet we've become disconnected from our food supply.

00:46:27.300 The decision-making about what's healthy

00:46:29.420 or unhealthy is in agencies

00:46:32.240 captured by corporations focused on profits.

00:46:35.640 So basically, she's pointing out that the system

00:46:38.020 of how we manage our food

00:46:39.800 is a poor system,

00:46:42.140 and it guarantees that you'll eat poison, basically.

00:46:45.000 Because the corporation wants profits.

00:46:48.400 And as long as they can get away with it,

00:46:50.760 they're going to get profits over health.

00:46:53.560 So, yes.

00:46:54.800 Thank you, Nicole Shanahan,

00:46:56.480 for bringing that up.

00:46:58.460 And that, you know,

00:46:59.340 I'd like to see this a big part

00:47:00.660 of what the government focuses on.

00:47:02.660 Healthy food.

00:47:03.540 According to Unusual Whales,

00:47:07.920 there's an article,

00:47:08.860 I guess the Financial Times,

00:47:10.780 that there's never been this bad income disparity.

00:47:15.620 So the bottom 40% of income

00:47:17.400 now account for 20% of all spending,

00:47:20.920 while the richest 20%

00:47:22.840 account for 40% of all the spending.

00:47:25.880 And it's the widest gap on record

00:47:27.840 and likely to widen further.

00:47:30.400 So, that's good or bad?

00:47:34.160 Is it bad that the richest 20%

00:47:37.660 are doing 40% of the spending?

00:47:41.900 Well, here's what I know.

00:47:45.120 The richest people

00:47:46.240 eat roughly the same amount of food

00:47:49.160 as the poorest people.

00:47:52.500 And their cell phone costs very similar.

00:47:57.680 Their car insurance,

00:47:58.800 well, they probably have better cars,

00:48:00.940 but not that far off.

00:48:03.480 So, where are the 20% 0.99

00:48:06.100 spending all this money?

00:48:09.020 They're spending it on things

00:48:10.720 that are made by the lowest 20%.

00:48:14.760 If they buy a yacht,

00:48:17.760 they kept a whole bunch of people employed

00:48:19.580 and not only just running it,

00:48:22.400 but, you know, making it

00:48:23.440 and buying it, et cetera.

00:48:24.380 If they invest in a company,

00:48:26.900 again, people get jobs.

00:48:29.760 So, comparing the rich people expenses

00:48:32.000 to poor people expenses 0.98

00:48:34.080 is dumb. 0.99

00:48:37.400 Let me explain to you 1.00

00:48:39.080 what a normal rich person's life looks like.

00:48:42.680 There's money you spend on yourself,

00:48:44.800 and then there's always

00:48:46.460 a fairly large circle of people

00:48:48.760 who aren't making it.

00:48:49.880 But they're close to you.

00:48:53.060 Do you watch them die?

00:48:55.340 No, you don't.

00:48:56.760 You end up supporting people

00:48:58.440 who are near you,

00:48:59.520 family, people who are close to you.

00:49:02.100 And so, if you looked at the circle of people

00:49:05.100 that every top 20% is supporting,

00:49:08.660 it's not just their immediate family.

00:49:11.520 And the richer they are,

00:49:12.580 the more they're supporting,

00:49:13.760 you know, a vast number of other people

00:49:15.780 who couldn't quite make it.

00:49:16.860 So, it's not apples to apples.

00:49:19.380 And you wouldn't want the richest people

00:49:21.280 to stop spending money.

00:49:23.120 You want the richest

00:49:24.280 to spend the most money

00:49:26.120 because that's where the money is.

00:49:29.120 If the richest stopped spending

00:49:31.320 this much money,

00:49:33.080 then all the poor people

00:49:34.640 would have no place to work

00:49:35.960 because there wouldn't be any,

00:49:37.400 no need for yachts

00:49:38.760 and more expensive cars and stuff.

00:49:41.960 So, this is a sort of economic comparison

00:49:44.380 that is so absurd

00:49:46.000 and so misplaced

00:49:48.320 that if you manage to it,

00:49:50.460 it would be a mistake.

00:49:52.200 So, if you said to yourself,

00:49:53.420 huh, we're going to have to close this gap.

00:49:56.600 No, you don't.

00:49:58.180 You don't at all.

00:49:59.540 It's not an indication of a problem.

00:50:01.900 It's simply an indication

00:50:03.080 that some people have money

00:50:04.140 and some don't.

00:50:05.380 That's it.

00:50:06.900 And if it got worse,

00:50:08.720 does that make it worse

00:50:11.380 for the poor people?

00:50:12.220 Well, suppose Elon Musk

00:50:15.340 quadrupled his net worth tomorrow

00:50:18.020 but everybody else stayed the same.

00:50:21.560 Are they worse off?

00:50:23.560 Or does he now start a new industry

00:50:26.840 that employs another 10,000 people?

00:50:30.120 Who do you want to have the money? 1.00

00:50:33.380 I mean, at some level,

00:50:34.660 you want the smartest people

00:50:35.720 to have the most money

00:50:36.700 because they're putting it

00:50:37.480 into smart places.

00:50:39.680 So, terrible, terrible comparison.

00:50:43.220 I guess Trump has confirmed plans

00:50:45.880 to declare a national emergency

00:50:47.600 and use military assets

00:50:49.940 to ship back them illegal migrants 1.00

00:50:54.420 and deport people.

00:50:56.000 Now, I think people are confusing

00:50:57.440 national emergency with martial law.

00:51:01.840 It's not martial law.

00:51:04.000 And I don't even know what it means

00:51:06.060 for a president

00:51:06.640 to declare a national emergency.

00:51:08.400 Is that like an executive order

00:51:09.720 or something?

00:51:11.160 But as far as I know,

00:51:12.260 the military assets

00:51:13.120 would be used for transportation

00:51:14.520 and maybe guarding people temporarily.

00:51:18.200 I don't believe the military

00:51:19.760 is going to be knocking on doors.

00:51:22.340 Can you confirm that?

00:51:24.900 Does anybody disagree with that take?

00:51:27.580 The military would be

00:51:28.760 sort of the background support,

00:51:30.680 but it would still be ICE

00:51:32.420 and the border people

00:51:33.300 who are knocking on the door

00:51:34.440 and handcuffing people

00:51:36.100 and arresting them.

00:51:37.680 But then they might put them

00:51:38.800 in a military truck

00:51:39.700 to get shipped back.

00:51:42.520 That's my understanding.

00:51:43.840 So, I'm not too worried about that.

00:51:45.400 That doesn't sound too bad.

00:51:48.700 Meanwhile, over on News Nation

00:51:50.440 on the show Cuomo,

00:51:53.560 and let me give a shout out

00:51:54.800 to News Nation.

00:51:55.900 So, News Nation has been trying

00:51:57.340 to be the news

00:51:59.240 that's not super biased

00:52:00.640 one way or the other.

00:52:01.600 And I don't know

00:52:03.900 that I get it on my cable.

00:52:07.180 I'm not sure if it's on my cable,

00:52:09.100 but I only see the clips

00:52:10.420 from it usually.

00:52:12.320 However, I would say

00:52:13.640 that they seem to be succeeding.

00:52:16.380 So, if you haven't checked out

00:52:18.680 News Nation and Cuomo in particular,

00:52:21.960 if you're expecting it

00:52:23.220 to just be Cuomo from CNN,

00:52:26.100 you know, the one that talked

00:52:26.940 to Don Lemon at the end of his show,

00:52:29.540 it's not.

00:52:31.600 Cuomo is doing a very good job

00:52:35.420 of finding the sensible

00:52:37.660 common sense middle.

00:52:39.980 And so, I give him

00:52:41.020 my complete endorsement

00:52:43.420 as someone who's doing

00:52:44.920 the right thing at the right time

00:52:46.360 with the right set of skills.

00:52:48.640 So, give it a look.

00:52:50.880 Give it a chance.

00:52:52.120 Anyway, so,

00:52:52.740 Cuomo had on Dr. Robert Redfield,

00:52:55.540 Redfield, and he was the ex-CDC director.

00:52:59.200 And he's talking about

00:53:00.480 RFK Jr.'s questions about vaccines.

00:53:04.100 And you'd expect the guy

00:53:05.880 who was the past director

00:53:07.800 of the CDC to say,

00:53:10.720 oh, that RFK Jr.

00:53:12.860 is a vaccine nut,

00:53:14.500 conspiracy theorist, right?

00:53:16.420 Because he was the head of the CDC.

00:53:20.000 That should be what he says, right?

00:53:22.480 But he didn't.

00:53:24.140 So, Redfield said this.

00:53:27.180 He said that Kennedy's

00:53:28.700 questioning of vaccines

00:53:31.120 and current health models

00:53:32.680 makes him, quote,

00:53:34.240 more science-oriented

00:53:36.120 than a lot of his critics.

00:53:38.480 There you go.

00:53:40.900 There you go.

00:53:42.720 Thank you, Dr. Redfield.

00:53:44.960 That is exactly correct.

00:53:47.800 That's a reframe,

00:53:48.880 but it's coming from somebody

00:53:50.720 with enough credibility

00:53:51.740 that you say,

00:53:52.520 oh, why is he saying that?

00:53:55.180 So, now you'll pay attention.

00:53:56.940 Yes.

00:53:58.380 Kennedy's thrust

00:53:59.420 is 100% more science, not less.

00:54:04.600 100%.

00:54:05.160 With no...

00:54:06.680 And by the way,

00:54:07.200 that's not even...

00:54:08.540 It's not subtle.

00:54:10.200 It's not ambiguous.

00:54:12.360 He is 100% focused

00:54:14.960 on doing more, better,

00:54:17.820 complete, real science.

00:54:20.600 And his criticism

00:54:21.800 is that poor science

00:54:23.400 is what we've been doing so far.

00:54:25.660 And I don't think anybody

00:54:27.080 can beat him on that.

00:54:29.020 I don't think there's anybody

00:54:30.100 that can say,

00:54:31.500 oh, oh, oh, but...

00:54:32.820 But we did use good science.

00:54:35.760 I don't think so.

00:54:37.200 Here's what they can say.

00:54:40.040 I'm pretty sure

00:54:41.080 that we saved

00:54:41.960 X number of lives

00:54:43.080 because of

00:54:43.940 a specific vaccination.

00:54:47.380 Might be true.

00:54:49.080 Would Kennedy say

00:54:50.280 you should get rid

00:54:50.960 of that vaccination

00:54:51.820 if the science was good

00:54:53.420 and it showed

00:54:53.860 that it saved lives?

00:54:55.540 There's no indication

00:54:56.660 he would

00:54:57.100 because he's pro-science.

00:54:59.500 He's not making it up.

00:55:03.540 He's not going into this role

00:55:05.140 so he can make up stuff.

00:55:07.420 He wants the country

00:55:08.620 to be blended

00:55:10.420 with a better version

00:55:11.480 of science

00:55:12.060 than the one we're with.

00:55:14.260 So thank you,

00:55:15.700 Dr. Redfield.

00:55:17.380 Another pirate

00:55:18.260 for the pirate ship. 0.84

00:55:19.100 Well, over in my neck

00:55:23.100 of the woods

00:55:23.520 at Berkeley,

00:55:24.660 a college

00:55:25.360 which I used to be proud

00:55:26.620 to have a degree,

00:55:29.700 a business degree from,

00:55:32.080 and I'm no longer proud

00:55:33.520 of Berkeley.

00:55:34.540 I'm disgusted by them

00:55:36.220 and honestly,

00:55:38.080 I just disavow

00:55:38.980 any association

00:55:40.040 with them at this point.

00:55:41.720 But apparently

00:55:42.480 they had a class

00:55:43.660 according to

00:55:44.740 the Jerusalem Post,

00:55:46.320 they had a class

00:55:47.540 that was listed

00:55:48.160 on their website

00:55:48.940 that praised Hamas 0.74

00:55:50.660 as a quote

00:55:51.300 revolutionary resistance force

00:55:53.360 and it said

00:55:56.580 that the Palestinians

00:55:58.140 are the indigenous ones 0.99

00:55:59.760 and the Israelis

00:56:00.680 are a quote

00:56:01.660 occupying force.

00:56:04.240 The course was titled

00:56:05.620 Leninism and Anarchism,

00:56:08.280 a theoretical approach

00:56:09.420 to literature and film.

00:56:10.960 It states it will explore

00:56:12.660 the quote genocide

00:56:13.640 of the indigenous Palestinians

00:56:15.880 by the Israeli

00:56:16.780 occupying forces.

00:56:19.060 Okay.

00:56:21.560 Well, the update on that

00:56:23.460 is that Berkeley

00:56:24.700 apparently removed that

00:56:26.620 from their listings

00:56:28.000 and they're going to have

00:56:29.120 a conversation with

00:56:30.400 whoever put it there.

00:56:33.040 So, here's the good news.

00:56:35.640 Even Berkeley

00:56:36.480 wouldn't put up with that.

00:56:38.700 Do you get that?

00:56:39.460 Everything is going

00:56:41.960 in the right direction now.

00:56:44.100 Everything.

00:56:45.460 Dr. Redfield

00:56:46.380 heading in the right direction.

00:56:49.180 Mika and Morning Joe

00:56:51.060 heading in the right direction.

00:56:53.840 Right?

00:56:54.640 And here Berkeley,

00:56:56.280 the craziest 0.99

00:56:57.160 of the woke crazy,

00:56:59.240 has this crazy thing on it

00:57:00.740 but as soon as it's pointed out

00:57:02.120 and made public,

00:57:03.440 a little bit of light

00:57:04.180 shines on it.

00:57:04.900 Oh, we didn't mean it.

00:57:08.380 Moving in the right direction.

00:57:11.080 I being dismantled,

00:57:12.520 moving in the right direction.

00:57:15.020 Well, let's talk about

00:57:16.280 World War III.

00:57:17.880 So, Biden authorized Ukraine 0.83

00:57:19.760 to use these long-range

00:57:21.180 missiles and weapons

00:57:23.200 to strike inside of Russia.

00:57:25.580 Now, you might say to yourself,

00:57:29.980 doesn't that cross a red line

00:57:32.120 where Putin says

00:57:33.700 if they attack inside Russia,

00:57:36.840 especially if they're using weapons

00:57:38.420 that they don't know how to use,

00:57:40.580 such as these new advanced weapons,

00:57:43.140 it indicates that the only persons

00:57:45.360 pushing the buttons

00:57:46.360 are NATO people.

00:57:49.240 Why?

00:57:50.100 Because the Ukrainians 0.99

00:57:51.160 don't know how to push those buttons.

00:57:52.480 And maybe we don't want to show them.

00:57:56.560 So, Putin's take,

00:57:59.280 which seems to match the facts,

00:58:01.300 is that he's now fighting NATO.

00:58:04.800 And that if he's fighting NATO,

00:58:07.020 that changes the calculation.

00:58:11.080 And some would say

00:58:12.660 that would make him likely to go,

00:58:14.860 more likely to go nuclear.

00:58:17.740 Here's why you don't have to worry about this.

00:58:20.220 I promise you.

00:58:21.040 He's not crazy.

00:58:24.400 So, Putin just did

00:58:25.700 a massive, massive strike

00:58:28.060 inside Ukraine,

00:58:29.620 like just one of the biggest ones.

00:58:31.860 Ukraine is going to respond 0.93

00:58:34.000 with some strikes inside Russia.

00:58:37.940 Russia knows, 0.88

00:58:39.200 Putin knows,

00:58:39.980 that Trump is going to be in power

00:58:42.020 in a few weeks,

00:58:43.140 and he's going to end this.

00:58:45.020 They all know it.

00:58:45.740 What would be the benefit of Putin

00:58:49.660 to start a nuclear war 0.55

00:58:52.400 a few weeks before the war

00:58:54.680 is going to stop for sure,

00:58:56.100 no matter what?

00:58:57.960 None.

00:58:59.080 None.

00:58:59.720 But would it make sense

00:59:00.980 for the Ukrainians

00:59:02.280 to make

00:59:02.760 a big enough,

00:59:04.740 scary enough strike

00:59:05.720 inside Russia

00:59:06.520 that when they come

00:59:07.780 to the negotiating table,

00:59:09.500 Russia is saying,

00:59:10.400 you know what,

00:59:10.820 this is bad for us,

00:59:11.840 this war,

00:59:12.260 instead of thinking,

00:59:13.960 okay,

00:59:14.200 we're losing a lot of people,

00:59:15.300 but we keep winning.

00:59:17.340 Ukraine has to make Russia 0.99

00:59:19.040 think that they don't have

00:59:20.100 an easy cakewalk

00:59:21.220 all the way to Kiev.

00:59:22.860 There's no point in negotiating

00:59:24.320 if Russia thinks

00:59:25.240 they can win outright.

00:59:26.160 So by doing a little bit 0.99

00:59:28.180 of crazy shit, 1.00

00:59:29.560 and this is crazy shit, 1.00

00:59:31.980 let me be clear, 0.99

00:59:34.200 Biden authorizing

00:59:35.720 strikes deep into Russia 1.00

00:59:38.420 now is crazy shit. 1.00

00:59:42.400 It's crazy shit, 1.00

00:59:44.120 but it's the right time 1.00

00:59:45.620 to do it.

00:59:47.360 So apparently,

00:59:48.520 I don't think Biden's

00:59:49.480 the mastermind of this.

00:59:50.680 I think all of the,

00:59:52.380 I think NATO

00:59:53.200 was in favor of it.

00:59:54.220 And I don't think

00:59:56.580 it's because

00:59:56.980 they want more war.

00:59:58.200 I think because

00:59:59.260 it's the right way

01:00:00.580 to set yourself up

01:00:01.960 for negotiations.

01:00:03.020 You have to look

01:00:04.040 at least like

01:00:04.660 you're a little bit

01:00:05.280 at parity

01:00:05.780 or you don't get

01:00:06.960 any negotiations.

01:00:08.420 So they needed to,

01:00:09.920 they needed to pump it up

01:00:11.440 to at least Russia's

01:00:12.480 level of aggression,

01:00:13.820 and they did.

01:00:16.160 So it's closer

01:00:17.820 to the ideal situation

01:00:19.600 than it is

01:00:20.520 to nuclear war.

01:00:21.400 The ideal situation

01:00:23.780 is that both of them

01:00:24.980 say,

01:00:25.300 I can't do this anymore

01:00:26.360 and it doesn't look

01:00:27.540 like I can easily win.

01:00:29.100 So what do you got

01:00:29.960 for me?

01:00:31.120 That's where we're at.

01:00:32.220 That's where we're at.

01:00:33.500 Again,

01:00:34.140 this looks like bad news.

01:00:36.320 Probably not.

01:00:37.980 It's probably exactly

01:00:39.040 what we needed.

01:00:40.500 So we'll see.

01:00:41.360 When I found out

01:00:43.020 my friend got a great deal

01:00:44.440 on a wool coat

01:00:45.200 from Winners,

01:00:46.040 I started wondering,

01:00:47.720 is every fabulous item

01:00:49.320 I see from Winners?

01:00:50.800 Like that woman over there 1.00

01:00:52.100 with the designer jeans.

01:00:53.540 Are those from Winners?

01:00:55.080 Ooh,

01:00:55.700 or those beautiful

01:00:56.380 gold earrings?

01:00:57.540 Did she pay full price?

01:00:58.880 Or that leather tote?

01:00:59.900 Or that cashmere sweater?

01:01:01.120 Or those knee-high boots?

01:01:02.560 That dress?

01:01:03.360 That jacket?

01:01:04.020 Those shoes?

01:01:05.040 Is anyone paying

01:01:06.240 full price for anything?

01:01:08.000 Stop wondering.

01:01:09.280 Start winning.

01:01:10.200 Winners.

01:01:10.580 Find fabulous for less.

01:01:14.540 Alex Soros posted this

01:01:16.500 about the long-range weapons

01:01:18.500 that are going to be used

01:01:19.360 against Russia.

01:01:20.320 I think already,

01:01:21.120 at least some of them

01:01:21.900 have been sent.

01:01:23.900 He posts,

01:01:25.280 Biden authorizes

01:01:26.500 long-range weapons

01:01:27.620 to strike inside Russia.

01:01:29.000 So he was reposting

01:01:30.080 somebody that said that.

01:01:31.420 He said,

01:01:31.800 quote,

01:01:32.060 this is great news.

01:01:34.840 Really?

01:01:36.800 Does the money person

01:01:38.580 for the Democrats

01:01:39.560 have to weigh in

01:01:40.560 on a tactical military decision?

01:01:45.480 What does Alex Soros

01:01:47.380 know about tactical

01:01:48.920 military decisions?

01:01:51.700 I feel like he's

01:01:53.080 just in favor of war.

01:01:55.860 So it sounds like

01:01:57.100 he might be

01:01:57.560 the bank account

01:01:58.680 for the military-industrial complex

01:02:01.320 and the Atlantic Council

01:02:02.500 and the real owners

01:02:04.760 and shakers 0.86

01:02:05.420 of the universe.

01:02:06.180 and when he sees

01:02:08.840 more war,

01:02:09.560 he just says,

01:02:10.160 oh,

01:02:11.120 everybody that I work with

01:02:12.760 and invites me

01:02:13.600 to meetings

01:02:14.040 and pats me on the back,

01:02:15.820 they're going to love this.

01:02:17.100 So I love it too.

01:02:19.160 Now,

01:02:19.500 as you know,

01:02:21.280 I don't believe

01:02:23.860 that Alex Soros

01:02:25.220 has the,

01:02:26.540 let's see,

01:02:30.140 capability

01:02:30.840 to do the job

01:02:32.720 that we think he's doing.

01:02:33.800 In other words,

01:02:35.340 I think that he's

01:02:36.400 under somebody's control

01:02:38.020 for one reason or another.

01:02:43.400 I don't know what it is.

01:02:44.620 But he doesn't seem

01:02:45.360 like he's in charge of the,

01:02:47.180 he just doesn't seem in charge.

01:02:49.720 He seems very much

01:02:51.700 like he's working

01:02:54.060 with somebody

01:02:54.780 that he's taking

01:02:55.400 their word for it,

01:02:56.480 somebody's influencing him.

01:02:58.020 It just doesn't feel

01:02:59.180 like he's in charge.

01:03:00.120 All right.

01:03:01.580 Does anybody disagree

01:03:02.460 with that?

01:03:04.280 I think Alex Soros,

01:03:05.680 I think his father,

01:03:07.200 you know,

01:03:08.500 might have been

01:03:09.040 closer to in charge

01:03:10.440 or at least a partner

01:03:11.360 with the people

01:03:11.960 he's working with.

01:03:13.080 But I think Alex

01:03:13.920 is just,

01:03:15.640 he's just a bank

01:03:16.740 that somebody's

01:03:17.560 pumping,

01:03:18.420 pumping money out

01:03:19.660 of at this point.

01:03:22.520 That's my opinion

01:03:23.640 based on what I see.

01:03:25.720 All right.

01:03:26.360 Also about Ukraine,

01:03:30.080 apparently every time

01:03:31.320 that the Ukrainians

01:03:33.880 try to make a move,

01:03:35.120 the Russian drones 0.81

01:03:36.420 stop it totally.

01:03:38.280 So apparently

01:03:38.840 it's a drone war now.

01:03:43.200 So let's see.

01:03:45.680 So most of the work

01:03:47.220 is being done

01:03:48.320 at least by the drones

01:03:49.340 spotting the thing

01:03:50.380 they need to destroy.

01:03:51.760 So nobody can kind of

01:03:52.920 make a secret anything

01:03:54.380 because the drones

01:03:55.300 are watching.

01:03:56.360 And the drones

01:03:57.340 can kill.

01:03:58.800 So here's some numbers.

01:04:00.920 Ukraine and Russia

01:04:02.080 are on track

01:04:02.680 to make around

01:04:04.040 1.5 million drones

01:04:05.660 this year.

01:04:07.480 Mostly the small ones.

01:04:09.620 And they only cost

01:04:10.160 a few hundred,

01:04:10.640 a few hundred dollars

01:04:11.560 a piece.

01:04:13.440 So sure enough,

01:04:14.660 the Ukraine war

01:04:15.420 was the thing

01:04:16.120 that turned warfare

01:04:18.020 into drone warfare

01:04:20.600 forever, I think.

01:04:22.460 Because drone warfare

01:04:23.640 could do as much damage

01:04:25.140 as a nuclear bomb.

01:04:26.360 You just need

01:04:27.180 lots of drones.

01:04:28.760 And you don't have

01:04:30.900 the nuclear fallout problem.

01:04:34.160 So part of the problem

01:04:35.980 is you can escalate

01:04:37.180 without the risk

01:04:37.960 of nuclear war

01:04:38.800 as much.

01:04:40.800 So that's bad.

01:04:42.300 The good news is

01:04:43.560 land war might be dead.

01:04:44.960 it could be that land war

01:04:50.000 just doesn't work anymore.

01:04:51.820 As long as the other side,

01:04:53.520 the one you're trying

01:04:54.040 to attack,

01:04:54.840 if they have access

01:04:56.280 to a million

01:04:57.320 and a half drones,

01:04:58.740 you could have

01:05:00.520 a real trouble

01:05:01.080 attacking that country.

01:05:02.420 And if you can make

01:05:03.820 drones that are

01:05:05.460 deadly for only

01:05:06.660 a few hundred dollars,

01:05:07.640 then that price

01:05:08.460 will go down

01:05:08.900 to under $100

01:05:09.840 pretty fast.

01:05:11.620 For under $100,

01:05:12.980 you're going to be able

01:05:13.460 to build a drone

01:05:14.860 that can spot things

01:05:16.000 a mile away

01:05:16.600 and drop a hand grenade 1.00

01:05:18.200 on it. 0.96

01:05:19.000 It'll be less than $100.

01:05:20.960 So

01:05:21.440 the good news is

01:05:24.140 that tanks

01:05:25.760 and ground forces

01:05:26.820 probably don't

01:05:28.720 have much purpose

01:05:30.140 as long as

01:05:31.860 one of the entities

01:05:32.700 has an industrial base

01:05:34.260 or can buy drones.

01:05:36.540 So that's new.

01:05:38.160 And that was predicted

01:05:39.680 in my book

01:05:40.700 The Religion War, 0.92

01:05:42.820 which is now

01:05:43.720 part of

01:05:45.020 the new book

01:05:45.840 God's Debris

01:05:46.900 The Complete Works.

01:05:48.720 So that includes

01:05:49.320 God's Debris

01:05:50.060 but also the sequel

01:05:51.560 called The Religion War

01:05:52.680 that predicted

01:05:54.020 massive drone warfare

01:05:56.220 as the primary

01:05:57.360 kind of war.

01:06:00.160 Anyway,

01:06:01.840 according to Rasmussen,

01:06:05.900 a majority of voters

01:06:07.120 support measures

01:06:07.900 to ensure

01:06:08.600 that elections

01:06:09.240 are honest

01:06:10.120 and the results

01:06:12.840 are reported quickly.

01:06:14.440 Now,

01:06:14.680 that's no surprise.

01:06:15.800 Don't you think

01:06:16.340 everybody wants

01:06:17.020 honest elections

01:06:18.060 that are reported quickly?

01:06:20.060 Of course they do.

01:06:21.640 And

01:06:22.040 they think that

01:06:23.520 both the integrity

01:06:25.960 and the timing

01:06:26.800 are something

01:06:27.480 that need to be worked on.

01:06:28.500 But here's the real note.

01:06:31.460 Even a majority

01:06:32.540 of Democrats

01:06:33.200 support

01:06:33.900 those measures.

01:06:36.420 So Republicans

01:06:37.440 and Democrats

01:06:38.460 by majority

01:06:39.400 agree that the elections

01:06:41.600 need better integrity

01:06:43.240 and maybe

01:06:44.560 paper ballots.

01:06:46.040 So here

01:06:47.780 one of them

01:06:48.480 says 65%

01:06:49.540 believe

01:06:50.000 that disputes

01:06:51.520 over election results

01:06:52.560 should be investigated

01:06:53.440 fully

01:06:53.920 including the use

01:06:55.540 of forensic ballot audits.

01:06:58.260 While 59%

01:06:59.700 say federal election

01:07:00.600 laws should require 0.50

01:07:01.380 the use of paper ballots.

01:07:03.620 59%,

01:07:04.260 and I think

01:07:05.620 that includes

01:07:06.200 a majority

01:07:06.660 of Democrats,

01:07:08.160 think that we should

01:07:09.000 use paper ballots

01:07:10.020 alone.

01:07:10.400 So let's see

01:07:13.300 if we can

01:07:14.380 complete the dots.

01:07:17.140 So the majority

01:07:18.140 of Americans

01:07:19.000 say that they would

01:07:21.060 trust paper

01:07:21.780 more than machines.

01:07:23.860 We also note

01:07:25.380 that the elections

01:07:27.540 did not work

01:07:28.420 on time

01:07:29.540 and we've got

01:07:30.220 some credibility

01:07:30.860 problems in Wisconsin

01:07:32.140 and Pennsylvania.

01:07:33.160 Now that's

01:07:36.420 our current

01:07:36.820 situation.

01:07:40.280 Here's my question.

01:07:43.020 Why do

01:07:43.900 we have

01:07:44.300 machines?

01:07:47.300 The public

01:07:48.320 doesn't want it.

01:07:49.760 We can observe

01:07:50.960 it's not faster.

01:07:52.760 It doesn't

01:07:53.840 appear to be

01:07:54.480 cheaper.

01:07:55.500 It doesn't

01:07:56.500 give us

01:07:56.880 more credibility.

01:07:58.880 We don't

01:07:59.480 trust them

01:08:01.660 over paper.

01:08:03.160 So

01:08:05.320 can you

01:08:06.520 give me

01:08:06.800 the reason

01:08:07.220 that we

01:08:07.520 have them?

01:08:08.600 And I like

01:08:09.300 to point

01:08:09.660 this out

01:08:10.180 at least

01:08:10.660 once a month

01:08:11.380 that not

01:08:12.940 once have

01:08:13.540 you seen

01:08:13.900 a story,

01:08:14.860 an article,

01:08:15.620 or an expert

01:08:16.560 explain why

01:08:18.040 they exist.

01:08:20.160 It's one

01:08:20.720 of the biggest

01:08:21.160 problems in

01:08:21.740 the country.

01:08:22.840 We have

01:08:23.440 to actively

01:08:24.160 buy them

01:08:24.840 in order

01:08:25.920 to have them.

01:08:26.420 We have

01:08:26.600 to actively

01:08:27.200 make it

01:08:27.740 happen.

01:08:28.180 Yes,

01:08:28.500 machines,

01:08:29.040 give me more

01:08:29.400 machines,

01:08:30.280 give me the

01:08:30.720 software update.

01:08:31.480 We have to

01:08:31.780 work at it.

01:08:32.460 And yet

01:08:33.180 a majority

01:08:33.700 of the

01:08:34.000 country

01:08:34.240 doesn't

01:08:34.660 want it,

01:08:35.800 doesn't

01:08:36.260 trust it,

01:08:37.140 and it

01:08:37.680 creates

01:08:38.000 massive

01:08:38.680 problems

01:08:39.220 that we're

01:08:39.660 in right

01:08:40.040 now,

01:08:40.360 which is

01:08:40.700 we don't

01:08:41.100 even know

01:08:41.600 where

01:08:42.420 Wisconsin

01:08:42.960 and

01:08:43.260 Pennsylvania

01:08:43.660 are going

01:08:44.020 to fall

01:08:44.280 out.

01:08:45.700 So why

01:08:46.380 do we

01:08:46.580 have them?

01:08:49.020 I can

01:08:49.680 only see

01:08:50.080 one reason.

01:08:52.020 I can

01:08:52.680 only see

01:08:53.160 one reason.

01:08:54.080 I believe

01:08:54.800 they were

01:08:55.120 introduced

01:08:55.700 so that

01:08:56.180 we could

01:08:56.600 control

01:08:57.380 elections

01:08:57.960 in other

01:08:58.420 countries,

01:09:00.200 speculating,

01:09:00.720 and that

01:09:03.340 at some

01:09:03.900 point

01:09:04.100 somebody

01:09:04.460 said,

01:09:05.080 you know,

01:09:05.600 it might

01:09:06.060 be handy

01:09:06.500 if we

01:09:06.820 could do

01:09:07.100 it in

01:09:07.340 this

01:09:07.520 country

01:09:07.820 too.

01:09:09.340 Why else?

01:09:10.900 Now,

01:09:11.280 if you

01:09:11.500 can find

01:09:11.980 even one

01:09:12.520 person to

01:09:13.060 go on

01:09:13.380 TV and

01:09:14.100 say,

01:09:14.500 that

01:09:15.000 cartoonist

01:09:15.720 guy,

01:09:16.340 he's all

01:09:17.880 trouble with

01:09:18.460 his

01:09:18.640 misinformation.

01:09:20.080 Here are

01:09:20.540 the five

01:09:21.060 good reasons

01:09:21.740 that machines

01:09:22.460 are better

01:09:22.840 than paper.

01:09:24.120 And then

01:09:24.320 you show

01:09:24.640 it to me

01:09:24.960 and I

01:09:25.140 go,

01:09:25.380 oh,

01:09:25.900 okay,

01:09:26.400 I wish

01:09:26.760 I'd heard

01:09:27.040 that sooner.

01:09:28.120 Do you

01:09:28.320 think that's

01:09:28.700 going to

01:09:28.880 happen?

01:09:29.100 If even

01:09:32.900 one of

01:09:33.400 you had

01:09:34.180 ever heard

01:09:34.800 the argument

01:09:35.380 or read

01:09:35.880 a book

01:09:36.160 about it

01:09:36.640 or seen

01:09:36.960 an article

01:09:37.440 that argued

01:09:38.660 in favor

01:09:39.320 of machines,

01:09:40.400 you would

01:09:41.040 be saying

01:09:41.520 it in the

01:09:41.920 comments

01:09:42.280 right now,

01:09:43.560 wouldn't

01:09:43.840 you?

01:09:44.600 The comments

01:09:45.220 would be,

01:09:46.120 Scott,

01:09:46.680 you don't

01:09:47.060 understand.

01:09:48.280 The advantage

01:09:48.820 is this,

01:09:49.840 but you're

01:09:50.280 not.

01:09:51.800 How could

01:09:52.180 it be

01:09:52.480 that,

01:09:53.460 what,

01:09:53.880 we have

01:09:54.160 several

01:09:54.660 thousand

01:09:55.020 people who

01:09:55.600 are watching

01:09:55.940 live,

01:09:56.620 several

01:09:56.960 thousand

01:09:57.600 voters

01:09:58.340 not

01:09:59.880 one

01:10:00.200 of

01:10:00.360 you

01:10:00.580 has

01:10:02.400 any

01:10:02.660 idea

01:10:03.040 why

01:10:03.320 we

01:10:03.500 have

01:10:03.740 voting

01:10:04.060 machines?

01:10:06.220 None

01:10:06.660 of you.

01:10:07.360 I don't.

01:10:08.240 I don't even

01:10:08.740 have a good

01:10:09.140 guess unless

01:10:09.820 it's for

01:10:10.260 cheating.

01:10:11.400 I don't

01:10:11.880 even know

01:10:12.160 why you'd

01:10:12.460 have them.

01:10:14.380 So,

01:10:15.040 anyway,

01:10:17.040 that,

01:10:18.600 ladies and 0.98

01:10:18.920 gentlemen,

01:10:20.140 brings me

01:10:21.860 to the

01:10:22.260 completion of

01:10:22.920 my prepared

01:10:23.640 remarks.

01:10:25.160 Is there

01:10:25.460 anything big

01:10:25.960 that I

01:10:26.240 missed?

01:10:26.520 There was

01:10:26.700 so much

01:10:27.000 news,

01:10:27.420 it seems

01:10:27.720 like,

01:10:27.940 today that

01:10:29.240 I was

01:10:29.860 just barely

01:10:30.380 trying to

01:10:30.800 keep up

01:10:31.140 with it

01:10:31.400 before I

01:10:31.840 went live

01:10:32.500 here.

01:10:35.920 Yeah.

01:10:37.060 Now,

01:10:37.600 I hear the

01:10:38.100 argument that

01:10:39.100 if you have

01:10:40.240 a machine,

01:10:41.100 in most

01:10:41.580 cases,

01:10:41.980 you also

01:10:42.380 have the

01:10:42.720 paper

01:10:43.000 ballot so

01:10:43.580 you can

01:10:43.780 do the

01:10:44.080 audit.

01:10:46.000 But that

01:10:47.160 doesn't answer

01:10:47.840 the question,

01:10:48.540 why do you

01:10:48.860 have the

01:10:49.140 machine?

01:10:52.580 I mean,

01:10:52.980 it still begs

01:10:54.080 the question,

01:10:55.020 if you have

01:10:55.600 the paper

01:10:56.040 audit,

01:10:56.400 why not

01:10:58.140 just use

01:10:58.580 the paper?

01:10:59.500 Now,

01:10:59.720 I heard

01:10:59.920 somebody

01:11:00.200 say,

01:11:00.560 oh,

01:11:00.700 so people

01:11:01.560 who have

01:11:02.060 disabilities,

01:11:04.140 they can

01:11:04.380 use the

01:11:04.720 machine better

01:11:05.360 than they

01:11:05.740 can write

01:11:06.100 on a piece

01:11:06.500 of paper.

01:11:07.380 But I'm

01:11:07.840 pretty sure

01:11:08.260 we can

01:11:08.560 work that

01:11:08.980 out.

01:11:10.040 Pretty

01:11:10.360 sure we

01:11:10.700 can solve

01:11:11.080 that.

01:11:11.280 all right.

01:11:18.400 And did

01:11:19.040 I see

01:11:19.440 that the

01:11:20.120 new

01:11:21.920 nominee for

01:11:22.840 is it

01:11:23.140 the Department

01:11:23.560 of Energy

01:11:24.140 doesn't

01:11:26.420 think climate

01:11:27.300 change is a

01:11:28.100 crisis?

01:11:29.300 It was

01:11:29.900 somebody I

01:11:30.420 wasn't familiar

01:11:31.120 with.

01:11:31.800 But do I have

01:11:32.280 that right?

01:11:33.760 Give me a

01:11:34.380 fact check.

01:11:35.020 Is the

01:11:35.500 nomination for

01:11:36.960 Department of

01:11:38.560 Energy said

01:11:39.540 out loud

01:11:40.140 just recently

01:11:41.000 he doesn't

01:11:41.420 think climate

01:11:42.000 change is a

01:11:42.780 crisis,

01:11:43.620 which means

01:11:44.500 he's open

01:11:45.580 to it being

01:11:46.920 a change

01:11:47.300 in temperature.

01:11:52.360 If you

01:11:52.980 don't know

01:11:53.420 Zelensky is

01:11:54.140 WEF or you

01:11:55.240 don't know

01:11:55.660 that Putin

01:11:56.060 is WEF,

01:11:57.000 why are you

01:11:57.460 ignoring it?

01:11:58.340 The WEF

01:11:59.140 is completely

01:11:59.900 debunked.

01:12:01.580 Anybody who's

01:12:02.360 still on the

01:12:02.920 WEF train,

01:12:04.780 you need to

01:12:05.540 up your game

01:12:07.140 a little

01:12:07.360 bit.

01:12:09.240 There was

01:12:09.780 a time

01:12:10.120 when it

01:12:10.480 felt like

01:12:11.500 it made

01:12:11.860 a little

01:12:12.140 bit of

01:12:12.440 sense,

01:12:13.160 but no,

01:12:13.640 it doesn't

01:12:13.840 make any

01:12:14.160 sense.

01:12:15.440 The WEF

01:12:16.320 thing is

01:12:16.940 complete

01:12:17.320 nonsense.

01:12:18.100 Most people

01:12:18.820 have just

01:12:19.220 given up on

01:12:19.760 that.

01:12:20.780 It used

01:12:21.240 to be that

01:12:21.740 every time

01:12:22.200 I did

01:12:22.580 any topic,

01:12:23.940 the comments

01:12:24.460 were full

01:12:24.880 of,

01:12:25.440 it's the

01:12:25.700 WEF,

01:12:26.820 it's they,

01:12:27.920 they in

01:12:28.580 the WEF

01:12:29.260 for trying

01:12:29.660 to take

01:12:30.060 over the

01:12:30.300 world.

01:12:31.540 And as

01:12:32.440 soon as

01:12:32.800 Klaus,

01:12:33.560 what's his

01:12:33.880 name,

01:12:34.160 retired,

01:12:35.380 and it

01:12:35.680 just stopped

01:12:36.120 being in the

01:12:36.620 news and

01:12:38.020 it's so

01:12:38.420 obvious that

01:12:39.160 so many

01:12:40.200 people are

01:12:40.580 not in

01:12:40.960 it.

01:12:41.940 There's

01:12:42.300 no way

01:12:42.620 that Putin

01:12:43.780 is part

01:12:44.160 of the

01:12:44.340 WEF.

01:12:47.060 I don't

01:12:47.660 know about

01:12:47.980 Zelensky,

01:12:48.600 but it's 0.98

01:12:49.360 dumb to 0.98

01:12:50.380 think Putin 1.00

01:12:50.820 is.

01:12:52.900 All right,

01:12:53.500 I'm going

01:12:53.740 to go

01:12:53.940 talk to

01:12:54.720 my

01:12:57.460 prediction.

01:13:00.240 Are you

01:13:00.800 asking what

01:13:01.300 my prediction

01:13:01.940 is?

01:13:04.120 going to be

01:13:04.500 terrific.

01:13:06.660 hear

01:13:06.800 there's

01:13:09.300 of

01:13:09.420 mushroom

01:13:09.800 that

01:13:10.020 might

01:13:10.200 cure

01:13:10.520 cancer?

01:13:13.620 I

01:13:14.180 didn't

01:13:24.800 can stop

01:13:25.540 cancer in

01:13:26.420 its tracks?

01:13:28.060 Okay.
