Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2705 CWSA 12⧸30⧸24

00:00:00.800 Everything's working great today.

00:00:09.240 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:20.180 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time.

00:00:24.180 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:32.140 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:00:36.900 fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:39.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day thing that makes everything better.

00:00:44.860 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:47.840 It happens now. Go.

00:00:49.080 Go.

00:00:49.140 I think I'm going to be adding some variation to the simultaneous sip, depending on the news.

00:01:02.760 So today I'd like to introduce the There's a Suspicious Drone Above Me sip.

00:01:09.260 You want to try this with me?

00:01:11.180 I'll model it, and you just do what I do.

00:01:14.220 It's called There's a Suspicious Drone Above Me sip, and it goes like this.

00:01:19.140 There. Just like that.

00:01:29.700 If you're only listening, oh, boy, did you miss a great comic moment.

00:01:34.660 Yeah, we'll do more of those.

00:01:38.540 Well, Jimmy Carter, ex-President Carter, has died at the age of 100.

00:01:44.800 I don't think anybody's ever stuck the landing like he did.

00:01:54.280 You know, you hope you have a good life, but wouldn't you like to stick the landing?

00:02:00.140 You know, go out and just the way you want to?

00:02:02.700 Think of the ways he stuck the landing.

00:02:04.820 He lived long enough to become 100, which just feels like so cool.

00:02:12.640 I mean, you know, wouldn't it be disappointing to die at 99?

00:02:15.800 You'd be like, really?

00:02:18.600 Just a few more months?

00:02:19.700 I could be 100?

00:02:20.800 It feels like that would be an achievement.

00:02:22.760 So he reaches 100.

00:02:24.680 He makes it through Christmas, but he doesn't have to stay up late for New Year's Eve.

00:02:30.140 And it's the slowest news week of the year, so he can get, you know, the full respect and attention that an ex-president deserves.

00:02:40.460 He outlived his wife that he was married to all his life, which is the kindest thing you can do,

00:02:46.960 because you don't want your spouse to be surviving, you know, because it puts him in a bad situation.

00:02:51.980 So he gets that right.

00:02:53.820 And best of all, as others have pointed out, he lived long enough so that Biden could have become the worst president of all time, and it wasn't him.

00:03:09.160 That's sticking the landing, and that's as good as you can do.

00:03:13.400 But I have to tell you that it's worth noting, because he's going to be criticized as well as complimented today.

00:03:20.440 But it's worth noting that he is the reason I didn't vote from my 20s to my 60s.

00:03:30.380 Because when I was a very young man, the first time I was old enough to vote, and I was out of college,

00:03:36.760 and I thought, I'm going to get me some involvement in politics.

00:03:42.860 Because you know what I thought, the reason I voted, very obvious reason I voted,

00:03:47.680 I voted because I knew that my opinion, because I'm so smart, I'm so smart,

00:03:53.960 I knew that my opinion would improve the average of the country.

00:03:57.580 And I was kind of a patriot, even young.

00:04:00.440 And I thought, you know, you know what this country needs?

00:04:03.760 It needs me to weigh in on this vote.

00:04:06.200 Because, you know, if the smart people don't vote, what could become of the country?

00:04:11.860 So I walked right down there, and I cast my vote for Jimmy Carter,

00:04:16.400 because the news told me, the news, said that that Reagan guy was some kind of a crazy warmonger,

00:04:24.300 and he wanted me to get a haircut, even if I didn't want one.

00:04:27.760 So I believed the news.

00:04:29.920 So I voted for the, you know, the angel.

00:04:32.580 Not the devil, the angel.

00:04:34.340 And I was quite happy with my vote, quite satisfied with myself.

00:04:39.180 And then I watched the, I watched the Carter presidency unfold.

00:04:44.580 And when it was done, I said to myself, I, I really shouldn't vote.

00:04:51.900 I, I don't seem to have what it takes to do this well.

00:04:57.400 Is it because I'm not experienced?

00:04:59.680 Is it because I'm not smart?

00:05:03.220 And I thought I was, but turns out, no.

00:05:06.500 Turns out, no, there's no evidence of that smartness whatsoever.

00:05:10.060 And so I took several decades off of voting.

00:05:15.620 Because I knew I didn't have the skill.

00:05:18.000 I knew I was not adding to the average, average intelligence of the political part of the country.

00:05:25.200 And that's not a joke, by the way.

00:05:26.760 Like, literally, Jimmy Carter stopped me from voting for decades.

00:05:30.680 Because I thought, well, I'm just making things worse.

00:05:34.380 Why would I spend my whole day, you know, schedule my day's activity around making the country worse?

00:05:41.520 I don't want the country to be worse.

00:05:43.620 I don't want that.

00:05:45.180 So it wasn't until this recent election where I said to myself, all right, this one's unambiguous.

00:05:51.120 I got one wrong in my 20s, but I feel like I picked up a few tips since then.

00:05:57.580 One of those tips was, wait a minute.

00:06:00.200 Are you telling me everything on the news is fake?

00:06:03.500 I mean, some of it's real, right?

00:06:05.900 Wait a minute.

00:06:07.200 All of it's fake?

00:06:08.840 Well, not all of it.

00:06:10.260 That's just like a hyperbole.

00:06:12.620 No, all of it?

00:06:13.820 It's all fake.

00:06:14.780 It's so hard to get to that point where it's not all untrue, but by the time they package it up into a narrative, the facts, which in many cases are true, you know, don't add up to the narrative.

00:06:30.660 So the narrative is the fake part.

00:06:32.020 So I knew that the Biden situation was obviously being ignored by the media.

00:06:38.980 I knew that Trump is really our only hope, and especially when the Doge volunteers took over, I said, well, we have one chance.

00:06:48.460 So this one's easy.

00:06:49.880 I'm pretty happy with my vote for Trump so far.

00:06:53.300 But, Jimmy Carter, we will give you our respect as a servant of the country, tried hard, meant well, did his best, and that's as good as we can do.

00:07:05.860 Meant well, tried hard, did his best.

00:07:09.080 I respect that.

00:07:11.280 All right.

00:07:11.640 Meanwhile, China has made a big breakthrough, maybe one of the most exciting technological breakthroughs I've ever heard of, according to Interesting Engineering.

00:07:21.400 And Christopher McFadden, he writes that the Chinese have developed a robot that can give you a massage, can pinch you and vibrate with human-like hands.

00:07:34.960 And it gives you a traditional Chinese massage.

00:07:39.360 I'd like to take a moment for the NPCs.

00:07:42.840 If there are any NPCs, could you add the happy ending joke that this story requires?

00:07:49.460 It's not funny, but you know you have to do it anyway.

00:07:54.500 Go ahead.

00:07:56.060 Make your robot happy ending jokes.

00:07:59.240 Get it out.

00:07:59.720 There you go.

00:08:01.260 There you go.

00:08:01.980 Good, good.

00:08:02.460 Dominic 71, right on schedule.

00:08:05.580 Anybody else?

00:08:06.320 Any other NPCs who want to vote?

00:08:09.440 Happy ending.

00:08:10.240 There you go.

00:08:11.080 We've got another NPC.

00:08:13.540 Anybody else want to say happy ending?

00:08:16.260 I want all the NPCs to weigh in.

00:08:17.900 Now, remember, this is just for the NPCs.

00:08:21.660 Swimming is the best form of exercise.

00:08:24.860 The matrix should be mentioned whenever there's anything going on about a simulation.

00:08:31.580 Very important.

00:08:32.920 And if there's any new food source, any kind of food upgrade or source, you need to say,

00:08:39.680 Soylent Green is people.

00:08:40.820 But most importantly, whenever the topic of massage comes up, you must go into the comments

00:08:48.280 and say, Was there a happy ending?

00:08:51.440 Was there a happy ending?

00:08:53.280 And then we know you're an NPC.

00:08:55.780 The way you can identify the NPCs is that they'll always say the most obvious thing that

00:09:01.520 could be said on every topic.

00:09:04.360 And that's the most obvious thing.

00:09:06.160 All right.

00:09:08.280 But so it begins.

00:09:11.540 Certainly, I'll be getting one of my Chinese massage robots as soon as it's available for sale.

00:09:18.840 But in other news, scientists have discovered that what you expected to be true about redheads

00:09:24.740 is totally true.

00:09:27.280 It said that redheads don't feel pain the same as other women.

00:09:30.600 So we're talking about women in particular.

00:09:32.160 And in a separate study, they found that redheads do have higher sexual desire and more orgasms,

00:09:39.420 according to the Daily Mail.

00:09:41.700 Nick Constable is writing about this.

00:09:43.980 He says that redheaded women have genetically different pain thresholds,

00:09:48.480 although that's hard to know because it's subjective.

00:09:51.380 But in a separate study, highest orgasm rate, 41% of all hair types.

00:09:57.780 I don't know what the 41% is.

00:10:00.740 So there it is.

00:10:01.780 Redheads have more orgasms, and they're more sexual.

00:10:12.820 You could have just asked Scott.

00:10:17.800 All right.

00:10:19.100 You know, I have the running joke that I always talk about these studies that come up with obvious answers,

00:10:24.800 and they should have just asked me instead of doing the study.

00:10:27.180 I think it's funny that they should have just asked me if redheads are hornier because that's something I learned when I was 13.

00:10:37.740 Do you remember the first time you heard it?

00:10:39.780 I was probably about 13, and somebody said, you know, redheaded girls, they're way hornier.

00:10:48.140 And I said, really?

00:10:49.880 Oh, yeah.

00:10:50.340 Everybody knows it.

00:10:51.180 It's a fact.

00:10:52.500 Scientific fact.

00:10:53.360 And I would think to myself, hmm, probably not scientific.

00:10:58.500 And people would say, well, but it's a fact.

00:11:01.000 I mean, everybody knows it.

00:11:02.080 It's just obvious.

00:11:02.620 And I would argue it could not possibly be true.

00:11:07.600 It's a scientific fact.

00:11:11.360 But I guess when I order my Chinese robot masseuse, I'm going to get the redhead.

00:11:21.000 I'm going to get the redhead massage robot just in case.

00:11:24.960 There's no evidence that the redheadedness would affect the actual robot.

00:11:30.920 But if they're working on patterns and large language models, and you give them redhead, I don't know.

00:11:38.760 Maybe a little extra.

00:11:39.940 Maybe a little extra.

00:11:40.780 I don't know.

00:11:42.140 Meanwhile, and I think it was in San Francisco, a Waymo self-driving car ran into a delivery robot that was also self-driving.

00:11:51.160 So it wasn't much damage.

00:11:56.260 So the good news is it didn't seem to disable either vehicles.

00:12:00.420 They just sort of tapped each other and backed up and got on with their business.

00:12:05.020 So it does fall into the category of something going wrong that proves to you that something is going right.

00:12:14.200 The fact that it was a rare accident, that it made it into the news because it was rare.

00:12:22.100 Well, it was special because there were two self-driving things.

00:12:26.220 But the fact that it didn't really cause any damage, that it was a low-speed kind of a minor thing, is more good news than bad news, I think.

00:12:36.960 Now, I don't think Waymo is where Tesla is in terms of self-driving yet.

00:12:43.080 So the self-driving thing is definitely here.

00:12:47.060 If you're wondering, I wonder if they'll ever be safe enough for self-driving, because I wondered that.

00:12:53.600 But I feel like it's here.

00:12:55.240 I feel like we're already at the crossover point where if you just told your Tesla just to do all your driving for you, if you could do it legally without touching the steering wheel, I'll bet you it would give you a better safety result right now, on average, than human driving.

00:13:16.540 Now, especially if you're somebody who likes to have a drink and drive anyway, not recommended, but people will sometimes say, well, I don't think I'm over the limit.

00:13:29.060 I must be just under the limit.

00:13:32.320 And you get in your car because you're dumb because you're drunk.

00:13:35.240 So it takes that away.

00:13:37.000 And then it also takes away age-related things and tiredness.

00:13:41.440 So if you add, you know, alcohol, drugs, tiredness, and age to a human driver, I'm pretty, pretty sure you don't need to do a study to find out that the Tesla self-driving would beat all of those.

00:13:57.620 It would beat all of those.

00:13:59.620 And, you know, as the years tick by, I'm starting to watch my own actions pretty closely.

00:14:07.960 And let me ask you a question.

00:14:09.820 I know a lot of my regular audience are seniors.

00:14:17.120 How many of you, if you're not married, how many of you have designated somebody to tell you when it's time to take your keys away?

00:14:27.800 Does anybody have somebody in their life that they've pre-designated as, when you tell me to take the keys away, I'm going to take that seriously?

00:14:36.780 If you haven't done that, think about doing it.

00:14:42.740 Try to find somebody in your life who's the one person you will trust when you reach the point where you don't trust anybody because your brain isn't working so well.

00:14:52.440 So, if you're not married, you know, your spouse is the one who should do it, of course.

00:14:57.400 But if you're not married, you should really think about making a commitment, maybe not legally, but make a commitment to somebody that if you tell me to give up the keys, I'm going to listen to you.

00:15:12.020 Because if you promise yourself that you will listen to somebody specific, then when you change your mind, because you will, because you'll want to keep driving because your brain isn't working, you have some chance, some chance that the process will work if you designate that person in advance.

00:15:31.960 So, that's my recommendation.

00:15:34.460 Thomas Massey and also Marjorie Taylor Greene are urging the release of the Congressional Sexual Slush Fund list.

00:15:44.440 Zero Hedge is reporting on this.

00:15:45.960 So, you're probably aware that Congress has a special secret fund just to pay off the accusers, the accusers of members of Congress for sexual misconduct, I guess would be harassment and me tooing and God knows what.

00:16:05.180 So, the fact that it exists at all, just the fact that it exists, is just mind-blowing.

00:16:12.180 Now, it doesn't exist just for that.

00:16:15.480 I think it handles some things outside of Congress.

00:16:18.260 But the fact that there's a $17 million fund for something that looks like it's paying off the sex crimes of Congress and we can't figure out who they are, is pretty shocking.

00:16:30.380 Now, do you think that there's any chance this list will be released?

00:16:36.740 No, there's no chance that list is going to be released.

00:16:39.440 I saw it in the comments that maybe it would have to be legislation.

00:16:46.000 It's not just somebody's decision.

00:16:48.240 It's probably legislation would be required to make that list public.

00:16:53.540 Do you think Congress is going to vote for that?

00:16:55.740 Because think about how many members of Congress have either already been accused and used that fund, or, here's the funny part, or they think they might have to use it in the future.

00:17:10.720 So, there probably are not that many people in Congress who have already used it.

00:17:16.620 I mean, we might be appalled by how many there are, but it's going to be a small percentage of all of Congress.

00:17:23.220 But what percentage of all of Congress thinks, maybe, I mean, if somebody accuses me, wouldn't it be nice to have that sitting by just to get out of jail free?

00:17:33.780 So, I don't think that the men are going to vote for that.

00:17:37.500 I think they're going to come up with some BS reason.

00:17:40.000 Well, in terms of privacy and the continuity of the Congress, it's going to be something like that.

00:17:46.380 We don't want to be distracted by all the fake claims because people would start making fake claims against us if they thought we would be blackmailed.

00:17:54.920 So, oh, it's a way to protect us.

00:17:57.000 Oh, that's it.

00:17:57.560 It's a way to protect us from being blackmailed.

00:17:59.740 That's it.

00:18:00.840 Yeah.

00:18:01.320 So, all the people who have used it or think they want to use it in the future are going to say, hmm, no, it's there for a reason.

00:18:08.720 The secrecy is so we can't be blackmailed.

00:18:11.440 And if somebody tries and, you know, if we have to pay them off, we'll do it.

00:18:15.480 But the blackmail will not be successful.

00:18:20.020 There's no way you're ever going to hear that list.

00:18:22.740 No way.

00:18:24.920 When I found out my friend got a great deal on a wool coat from Winners, I started wondering, is every fabulous item I see from Winners?

00:18:33.520 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.

00:18:36.200 Are those from Winners?

00:18:37.740 Ooh, or those beautiful gold earrings.

00:18:40.200 Did she pay full price?

00:18:41.540 Or that leather tote?

00:18:42.560 Or that cashmere sweater?

00:18:43.760 Or those knee-high boots?

00:18:44.940 That dress?

00:18:46.020 That jacket?

00:18:46.700 Those shoes?

00:18:47.740 Is anyone paying full price for anything?

00:18:50.700 Stop wondering.

00:18:51.960 Start winning.

00:18:52.880 Winners.

00:18:53.460 Find fabulous for less.

00:18:54.920 All right.

00:18:57.700 You probably heard that Costco was challenged over its DEI program, but the board of directors unanimously decided that they're going to keep their DEI, if not make more of it.

00:19:10.540 So, apparently, the DOJ appointee, Harmeet Dillon, is the one who will be going after the corporate DEI policies, which, of course, are blatantly illegal.

00:19:25.960 Now, they can do the blatantly illegal, because our system has put them in a bind, which is, unless you discriminate by race, unless you do it, the public won't like you, and people will protest you, and you'll look like racists.

00:19:44.720 So, the corporations are in a bind.

00:19:48.600 You can either do something that you must know is illegal, racial discrimination.

00:19:52.920 Who doesn't know that's illegal?

00:19:55.340 Do you think there's a CEO who's not completely aware that discriminating overtly, discriminating by race, has got to be illegal, according to our system?

00:20:03.720 But we don't treat it that way.

00:20:06.740 So, instead, we were focusing, have been, on diversity and stuff.

00:20:12.320 And so, the CEO is in this bind.

00:20:15.460 You can't not do it if everybody else is doing it.

00:20:18.800 That would be suicide.

00:20:20.620 But if you do it, you're clearly breaking an important law.

00:20:24.520 So, what do you do?

00:20:25.680 Well, mostly, they do what everybody else does.

00:20:28.920 So, it's more of a herd situation.

00:20:30.720 Some of them might be true believers, but mostly, they just know they have to go along with it.

00:20:38.300 So, how hard would it be for Harmeet or anybody in that position to reverse the entire saturated corporate environment?

00:20:48.860 How many corporations are we talking about?

00:20:52.040 Like, beyond the Fortune 500, tens of thousands of major corporations, you know,

00:20:59.600 that are below the top 500?

00:21:01.800 Probably tens of thousands, right?

00:21:04.480 And so, that seems like an almost undoable thing.

00:21:09.000 But it's not.

00:21:10.620 You only have to put one CEO in jail.

00:21:13.620 Just one.

00:21:14.920 You just have to make an example of one person.

00:21:18.020 Now, I wouldn't randomly pick the one person.

00:21:20.220 I'd pick somebody who seems to be, you know, extra, extra illegal.

00:21:27.720 You know, maybe somebody who's trying too hard and fighting too hard and won't take a hint and won't get rid of it.

00:21:33.440 You know, they're really fighting for it.

00:21:35.500 So, you might have to pick one person to take down.

00:21:37.740 And if you take down one CEO, you only need to do one.

00:21:43.200 Just one high profile.

00:21:45.040 Take them down and actually give them a serious jail term, either result or risk.

00:21:51.740 It doesn't have to go all the way to result.

00:21:54.520 It could be just the risk.

00:21:56.120 Because no CEO wants to spend all their time defending a DEI lawsuit.

00:22:01.000 That's just a losing proposition.

00:22:02.620 Even if you won the law, even if you won the case, it's a complete losing situation.

00:22:08.520 So, you pick one and you make it public and you just go after them.

00:22:15.480 If you can get that one person to say, I sure wish I hadn't done this, it's going to give all the other CEOs everywhere permission and an excuse to back off.

00:22:28.200 Because they'd have a personal reason.

00:22:29.940 I don't want to go to jail because the government just told me this is illegal.

00:22:34.840 And I have a responsibility to keep this company out of legal trouble.

00:22:39.500 Not just myself, but I have a responsibility to keep the company out of legal trouble.

00:22:45.120 So, as much as I love this DEI stuff, this evil government and bad old Trump is going to make me get rid of it.

00:22:53.360 So, you really only have to do one.

00:22:55.580 Just one CEO and the whole thing will disappear pretty quickly.

00:22:59.940 Now, do I believe that a CEO should be jailed over what is obviously deeply illegal?

00:23:09.100 And the answer is no.

00:23:11.920 Even if that person got convicted, I think I would almost immediately commute the sentence.

00:23:19.400 You might keep the conviction.

00:23:20.560 Because, you know, they could explain that away.

00:23:23.940 It wouldn't really hurt their career.

00:23:27.340 But I don't think that if the government is the one that forced you into DEI, and then the next administration says it's illegal, and it takes you a while to unwind it, or you haven't done it yet, I feel like that's partly the government's fault.

00:23:42.700 Do you hear me?

00:23:47.140 If the government under Trump went after a CEO or a company for DEI, but it was the government who was pushing DEI before that, it's still illegal.

00:24:00.480 It's still illegal.

00:24:02.000 So, you have to deal with it as a crime.

00:24:04.480 But the first CEO, I think you need to commute the sentence.

00:24:09.540 Give him a five-year sentence for discriminating, whatever it is.

00:24:13.220 I don't know.

00:24:13.500 Maybe it's a fine.

00:24:14.580 If it's a fine, then I'd give him the fine.

00:24:17.840 But if it's a question of somebody actually being in a jail cell, I think the president should commute it, if it's possible.

00:24:25.980 You know, somebody should commute it.

00:24:27.200 Because I don't actually want to see a CEO go to jail.

00:24:30.160 Not for that.

00:24:31.740 If the government forced the CEO into a position where they figured they had to be at DEI or else the company couldn't thrive, that's very understandable.

00:24:44.680 So, yeah, debank them.

00:24:47.660 Now, I think we have to be human.

00:24:51.860 As much as I think we have to respect the legal system, there's a reason that the legal system is populated with humans.

00:25:01.960 Because the humans have the ability to override any injustice that the system presents.

00:25:08.540 That's the human part.

00:25:10.000 We like that.

00:25:11.040 That's why there are such things as commuting and pardoning and stuff.

00:25:14.840 We like that the humans could even look at the evidence and say you're guilty, but the jury could, what's that called?

00:25:24.160 Jury nullification.

00:25:26.440 So, humans can override the Justice Department.

00:25:29.640 And this would be a perfect example of that.

00:25:32.160 So, I'd love to see the Justice Department do what it does.

00:25:35.520 Find somebody guilty of DEI.

00:25:38.000 But then make sure that the punishment is, you know, handled in a human way, not in a justice system way.

00:25:48.280 Because we humans put that CEO in that position.

00:25:51.620 So, the humans need to get him out, right?

00:25:54.360 We have that responsibility.

00:25:55.580 Meanwhile, there's a little disagreement in the government about the anti-obesity drugs, like Ozempic, and there's some like it.

00:26:10.420 Apparently, Dr. Oz likes them.

00:26:13.860 Elon Musk likes them.

00:26:15.760 In fact, he's using one that he likes and thinks maybe there's more use for it in the world.

00:26:21.020 So, he's pro that.

00:26:22.740 But RFK Jr. says they have a place, but he's really pushing for a more natural weight loss.

00:26:35.280 I can confirm, and I think everybody who's tried this can confirm.

00:26:40.720 Like everybody else in the world, in most of my adult life, I could see that I was like gaining more weight than I wanted.

00:26:49.800 Just what I thought was just normal eating.

00:26:52.740 But as soon as I learned more about diet, and I stopped eating things that are clearly just bad for you.

00:26:59.500 Yeah, I stopped eating wheat and processed foods for the most part.

00:27:03.400 And I can't keep weight on.

00:27:06.100 Like, I could eat all day long, and I don't think I could gain weight if I wanted to.

00:27:10.720 I would look like the people, you see the old photos of people in the 40s and the 30s walking the streets in New York,

00:27:17.120 and not one of them is overweight, not even one, because they were eating the food that I eat now.

00:27:23.000 I don't think I could be overweight.

00:27:25.180 I honestly eat all I want all day long.

00:27:28.220 And I look in the mirror and go, oh, it looks like I lost weight again.

00:27:33.620 So, yeah.

00:27:35.680 RFK Jr. is 100% right that if he could do something to fix our food supply, which is clearly poisoned,

00:27:43.320 we wouldn't eat any Ozempic.

00:27:45.200 But I would agree with Kennedy when he says it has a place.

00:27:50.640 You know, if you're 400 pounds, fixing your diet's not going to get there fast enough, right?

00:27:59.060 So you might need to do something at the same time you're fixing your diet.

00:28:02.680 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:28:04.920 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:28:07.440 She was so focused on visualizing that she didn't see the column behind her car on her backhand side.

00:28:12.380 Good thing Claudia is with Intact, the insurer with the largest network of auto service centers in the country.

00:28:19.160 Everything was taken care of under one roof, and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:28:23.620 I made it to my tournament and lost in the first round.

00:28:27.100 But you got there on time.

00:28:28.960 Intact Insurance, your auto service ace.

00:28:31.560 Certain conditions apply.

00:28:32.460 All right, you may know that there are claims that ivermectin and a similar drug, fenbendazole,

00:28:43.960 have been sending signals that they could be useful for treating cancer in humans.

00:28:49.600 Now, I've been looking into it for a variety of reasons,

00:28:52.600 and one of them is that I'm always interested in how data is collected.

00:28:57.380 I know, it's kind of nerdy.

00:28:59.540 But we've seen so many things that we're told by science was true that were untrue and vice versa

00:29:07.280 that I have such deep disrespect for the scientific community's ability to tell me what works

00:29:14.060 that I look at everything with super skepticism.

00:29:18.140 Now, I don't know the truth.

00:29:20.460 So here's the first part you need to know.

00:29:22.360 I do not know, I do not know if these two drugs help with cancer.

00:29:29.100 I do not know.

00:29:30.780 So I'm not saying they don't, and I'm not saying they do.

00:29:34.260 So that's the most important thing you need to hear.

00:29:36.740 What I'm going to talk about is how you would decide, given that the information is not perfect.

00:29:43.380 So given imperfect information in a world where it's hard to know who to trust,

00:29:48.320 what would you look to to see if it works?

00:29:51.040 So the first thing you need to know is that, I believe, ivermectin and fenbenazole,

00:29:55.900 which is a similar anti-wormer kind of thing, it's just different,

00:30:01.740 that they do work in the lab.

00:30:04.700 So if you put them in a test tube with, not a test tube, but whatever,

00:30:09.740 if you put some cancer cells in the lab and you throw these things on them,

00:30:15.500 it kills the cancer cells or something like that.

00:30:18.380 So it works in the lab.

00:30:19.300 In addition, it works on animals.

00:30:22.720 Now that's good news.

00:30:23.980 If it works on animals, you're at least up to about 5% chance it will work on humans.

00:30:30.820 So only about 5% of the time does something work in an animal and also work in humans.

00:30:36.300 Now, given that these are well-known and well-tolerated drugs and inexpensive,

00:30:42.760 we know that there's probably not a risk of dying.

00:30:48.500 Well, there's always some risk, but a small risk.

00:30:51.100 So if we're not worried about the side effects, and that doesn't seem to be the biggest problem,

00:30:57.140 there are some, but it's not the biggest problem, then maybe that 5% chance is a little bit greater.

00:31:02.700 So the first thing you need to know is if the only thing you know is it works in animals,

00:31:08.220 in general, there's a 5% chance it will work in humans.

00:31:12.080 But some part of what prevents it from working in humans would be the side effects.

00:31:17.040 But these don't really have side effects that would be large enough that you'd care if it worked against your cancer.

00:31:25.120 So maybe more than 5%.

00:31:27.640 But on top of that, there are very strong signals from humans.

00:31:34.260 So you'll see quite a few claims online of, you know, this person got better, this person got better.

00:31:42.040 You know, they have actual names of people and specific studies where somebody appeared to either clear their cancer entirely.

00:31:53.120 And I talked to one person who had that experience.

00:31:56.840 And others who seem to be getting good results.

00:32:01.220 Now, so those are the things that everybody would agree on.

00:32:05.920 So everybody agrees, works in the lab, works in animals, doesn't have too many side effects.

00:32:12.040 And there's really strong signals from a whole variety of different researchers.

00:32:17.700 And it's been studied, not in isolated studies.

00:32:24.180 But here's the claim.

00:32:26.080 The claim is that in people, it works primarily when it's in conjunction with other treatment.

00:32:35.500 So in other words, if you're giving one of the pills that treat you for a certain kind of cancer, because different cancers have different treatments.

00:32:43.780 So if you're doing the chemo or you're taking a pill, because that's a normal thing you would do for these cancers,

00:32:49.840 then you also take the ivermectin and or fentonbenazole.

00:32:54.580 The claim is that the other thing you're doing is more effective.

00:33:00.200 So the claim, again, this is not my claim.

00:33:03.280 I'm not saying it's true or false.

00:33:04.540 I don't know.

00:33:05.320 But the claim is that there are enough individual anecdotal cases where somebody would do the normal treatment,

00:33:13.060 but then they would add in these drugs, and then reportedly they would get a better result if they added in these treatments.

00:33:22.180 Now, what do you make of this situation so far?

00:33:25.300 If the only thing I told you is that it seems to work on animals by itself, not in conjunction with other treatments,

00:33:34.300 but as soon as they treated it on people, the signal that they could find most clearly is when they combined it with another treatment.

00:33:44.540 Now, the, quote, other treatments exist because they work, right?

00:33:51.340 The reason chemo exists is because it works, not 100%, not in every person in every way.

00:33:59.720 So would you agree with the following statement?

00:34:03.160 That if you were just looking at one person having chemo, you could not really predict how it's going to go.

00:34:09.960 They could have a real good result all the way to complete remission, depending on the cancer.

00:34:14.620 They could also have not such good luck, like the cancer is more aggressive and it doesn't do enough to help.

00:34:22.160 So if you're combining the thing that works for sure by itself in an animal,

00:34:28.500 but we know that there's kind of a small chance it's going to work in humans,

00:34:33.380 and then when you test it with humans, the signal seems strong when they're doing the other thing at the same time.

00:34:41.420 But they haven't done the gold standard controlled trial.

00:34:47.040 They just say it looks like it gives you a little extra when combined with the other thing.

00:34:53.660 Here's my question.

00:34:55.100 If the other thing is combined with can be all over the map in terms of how effective it is by itself,

00:35:01.860 and then you add this one new thing, and let's say hypothetically it did nothing at all,

00:35:08.660 wouldn't you produce a whole bunch of people who seem to have a better than average outcome

00:35:13.160 because some people always have better than average outcomes?

00:35:16.560 And then you say, yes, I gave this person chemo, and I also gave them the pill,

00:35:22.060 and they did much better than the average person.

00:35:26.380 Would that tell you anything?

00:35:27.440 I would say no.

00:35:32.000 I would say no.

00:35:33.040 That doesn't tell you anything with certainty

00:35:34.520 because people would have great variability on the other thing they're on.

00:35:39.660 So how do you know it isn't just an ordinary variability?

00:35:42.440 Well, the way you would find that out is through a large controlled study,

00:35:47.240 which has not been done.

00:35:50.080 So the one thing that would tell you if it works,

00:35:53.080 a large controlled study, I don't think that's been done.

00:35:58.720 But there have been studies where they said,

00:36:00.760 hey, somebody doing chemo seemed to get good results.

00:36:04.900 Now, the other thing that messes up the data is human beings.

00:36:11.160 If you find me a human who's taking ivermectin,

00:36:15.940 let's say in addition to chemo,

00:36:18.040 do you think that's the only thing they're taking?

00:36:21.660 No.

00:36:22.140 Now, if somebody's taking ivermectin,

00:36:24.220 they've said,

00:36:25.160 Dana, I'm going to have to do this myself.

00:36:27.200 So I'm going to change my diet.

00:36:29.500 So you'll find people who went on a keto or,

00:36:33.540 I think keto usually,

00:36:35.500 went on a keto diet.

00:36:37.780 They changed their lifestyle.

00:36:40.180 Maybe they added some healthy stuff.

00:36:42.400 They started boosting their vitamin D

00:36:44.900 because why wouldn't you?

00:36:47.160 Then they did some research.

00:36:48.760 They found out,

00:36:49.340 oh, there's five different supplements

00:36:52.140 that seem to help you sort of in a general way,

00:36:55.240 maybe, you know, your immune system.

00:36:57.360 So maybe you take that too.

00:36:59.440 And you start making all these changes.

00:37:01.300 How do you really know what made the difference?

00:37:05.780 Because there's nobody who just took the one thing.

00:37:08.840 So here's what I would call proof.

00:37:12.800 Proof to me would look like this.

00:37:14.840 We have a cancer that we have no cure for.

00:37:17.960 You could do chemo and it won't cure you.

00:37:20.220 You could do radiation.

00:37:21.320 You could take a pill.

00:37:22.400 It won't cure you.

00:37:23.440 We know that.

00:37:24.540 That's known.

00:37:25.300 But here's somebody who had that incurable disease

00:37:29.860 and they took nothing but these pills

00:37:31.740 and then they got better.

00:37:33.960 There's no way to explain that

00:37:35.500 if it's, let's say, several people.

00:37:38.000 There'd be no way to explain that unless it worked.

00:37:41.240 Would you agree?

00:37:42.180 It's incurable,

00:37:43.640 but here's five people who cured it taking this pill.

00:37:46.480 So if I found five people

00:37:50.620 who did nothing but the pills

00:37:52.980 and they had complete success

00:37:56.940 against an incurable disease,

00:37:59.160 not the curable kinds,

00:38:01.120 because the curable kinds,

00:38:02.300 you're already using the curable, the cure.

00:38:05.240 If chemo could cure you,

00:38:07.120 you're already on chemo, right?

00:38:09.260 No doubt about it, if it could cure you.

00:38:10.860 So I don't believe

00:38:13.640 that we've seen a signal

00:38:15.940 that guarantees it works.

00:38:18.200 We've seen enough signal

00:38:19.540 to be really, really interested.

00:38:22.340 And so a lot of researchers

00:38:24.220 are doing everything they can to dig deeper

00:38:27.120 and work with enough anecdotal situations

00:38:30.200 that you can build up a database

00:38:33.000 that you could tell whether it works or not.

00:38:35.380 So here's my overall framing.

00:38:38.560 You can't tell anything if it works in a lab.

00:38:41.640 You can't really tell anything

00:38:42.600 if it works in an animal.

00:38:44.500 You can't tell anything

00:38:45.560 if you test it on somebody

00:38:46.920 who's also doing other things.

00:38:50.620 Right?

00:38:51.320 Do you agree with that?

00:38:52.800 Unless it's a really big study,

00:38:55.000 gold standard controls,

00:38:56.900 and everybody in it

00:38:57.920 is only doing the things

00:38:59.460 that you're looking for,

00:39:00.880 there isn't somebody

00:39:01.960 who's also overdosing on vitamin D

00:39:04.700 and there isn't somebody in the study

00:39:06.700 who's also doing three things

00:39:08.300 that they didn't mention.

00:39:09.760 You could do it,

00:39:11.300 but nobody's done anything near that.

00:39:14.620 So here's my challenge.

00:39:19.700 I'm always suspicious

00:39:20.980 when a drug works on an animal by itself,

00:39:24.980 but when you test it on humans,

00:39:27.220 it only works when you're doing something else

00:39:29.320 that you know works

00:39:30.420 and has variability.

00:39:35.180 You know,

00:39:35.380 individuals respond to it in a variable way.

00:39:38.240 That doesn't feel like enough to me.

00:39:41.000 Now, there have been some,

00:39:42.840 a lot of people have said,

00:39:44.100 Scott, you're wrong.

00:39:45.180 We do have examples

00:39:46.340 where somebody took this and got better.

00:39:49.800 I want to talk to one.

00:39:51.880 So if you can find one,

00:39:53.760 here's what I'm looking for.

00:39:55.460 I'm going to take an incurable example,

00:39:58.380 metastatic prostate cancer.

00:40:02.240 We'll just keep it to that

00:40:04.060 because that's incurable.

00:40:06.360 There's no cure to that.

00:40:07.760 You can slow it down,

00:40:08.520 but you can't cure it.

00:40:09.280 If your prostate cancer is localized,

00:40:12.900 it can be cured by removing it

00:40:14.600 and some other kinds of processes.

00:40:16.920 But once it's,

00:40:17.540 once it's gone past the prostate,

00:40:19.780 there's no known cure.

00:40:22.060 So find me any person

00:40:24.820 who for their own reasons or whatever,

00:40:27.860 took only these pills,

00:40:29.760 ivermectin and fentonbenazole,

00:40:31.740 and cured it.

00:40:34.700 They just cured it.

00:40:35.760 And the doctors would confirm

00:40:38.260 that they don't have it anymore.

00:40:40.360 If that's true,

00:40:41.760 I need to talk to that person.

00:40:43.820 And it might only take me one.

00:40:45.780 Although if you're talking to one,

00:40:47.400 you don't know if they're telling you the truth

00:40:48.780 or maybe the doctors misdiagnosed them

00:40:51.360 or something.

00:40:52.040 So you probably need a small handful.

00:40:56.060 But I wouldn't need,

00:40:58.080 I don't think I'd need a gold standard trial

00:41:00.600 if you said,

00:41:02.780 well, here's five people.

00:41:03.840 And I talk to them myself and they just go,

00:41:05.780 yo, I promise you,

00:41:06.840 the only thing I did differently

00:41:08.580 is maybe I took a little extra vitamin D.

00:41:11.720 I wouldn't count that.

00:41:13.200 But I took these two drugs

00:41:14.360 and here's my,

00:41:16.460 here's my doctor's report.

00:41:18.180 Says I'm cleared.

00:41:19.660 Now, if I saw that,

00:41:21.640 I'd say,

00:41:22.180 we'd better get on this right away.

00:41:24.680 So I'll put this challenge out.

00:41:26.380 I believe that the signals are very strong.

00:41:32.020 So I see Dr. Mack is being mentioned.

00:41:36.260 So I'm familiar with all the players at this point.

00:41:39.360 I've looked into it enough that I know the players.

00:41:41.880 And they do have strong signals.

00:41:45.460 So I'm not telling you it doesn't work.

00:41:47.820 I literally do not know.

00:41:50.380 I hope it does.

00:41:51.860 I'd be really happy if I did.

00:41:54.540 But you need to find me a few people

00:41:59.100 or even one

00:42:00.240 where there's a real live person

00:42:03.240 whose doctor says,

00:42:04.400 yeah, that's all they did.

00:42:06.000 As far as I know,

00:42:06.920 they just did that one thing

00:42:08.000 and now they don't have that anymore.

00:42:10.480 So, but there are other kinds of cancers

00:42:12.420 and they all respond to different things.

00:42:14.040 So there may be,

00:42:14.900 there may be 10 different cancers

00:42:16.580 that it works really well on.

00:42:18.520 And it may be because it is a thing.

00:42:21.360 So it is a thing

00:42:22.640 that something could work

00:42:24.860 in conjunction with another drug

00:42:26.680 but not make much difference by itself.

00:42:30.120 However, the argument for ivermectin

00:42:32.280 is that we know the mechanism

00:42:34.220 of how it works against cancer.

00:42:37.500 So if we know the mechanism of how it works,

00:42:40.480 but it only works

00:42:42.100 if you're using it with another treatment,

00:42:45.280 that's not squaring with me.

00:42:48.220 So that makes me suspicious.

00:42:49.920 So, yes, I'm aware of the doctors

00:42:55.080 that you're mentioning

00:42:55.680 and the experts that you mentioned.

00:42:58.300 But if anybody knows somebody

00:43:00.780 who cured any kind of cancer

00:43:02.920 with these pills and nothing else,

00:43:05.200 I would definitely be interested

00:43:06.960 in talking to them personally.

00:43:09.760 So let's find out what's going on there.

00:43:12.000 All right.

00:43:12.280 Jonathan Turley is talking about

00:43:17.440 how the COVID lab leak theory,

00:43:21.220 how the Wall Street Journal exposed

00:43:22.860 that despite the fact

00:43:25.480 that there were people in the government

00:43:27.420 who had been asked to study it,

00:43:30.720 they'd been asked to study

00:43:33.320 where that source was,

00:43:34.900 and there were experts in the government

00:43:36.660 who said, yeah,

00:43:37.240 we're pretty sure it came from the lab.

00:43:38.660 It was a lab leak.

00:43:39.420 The government decided to ignore

00:43:41.620 the people who they'd asked to study it

00:43:44.180 and said it's probably a lab leak

00:43:46.280 and decided to instead use

00:43:50.420 the lab leak theory

00:43:52.140 as a way to attack Trump

00:43:53.980 as being racist and anti-science.

00:43:57.580 So the question that Turley asks

00:44:01.540 is not do we know that they covered it up,

00:44:05.720 because we know that now.

00:44:06.860 The question is, why?

00:44:10.000 Now, the obvious answer would be

00:44:13.520 that Biden was, you know,

00:44:16.140 owned by China.

00:44:18.120 But this started before Biden, right?

00:44:21.920 Didn't all the pushback from the media

00:44:24.360 start during Trump's administration

00:44:27.240 when he was calling it the China virus?

00:44:29.560 I feel like the media

00:44:33.380 just used anything they could use

00:44:36.100 to go after Trump,

00:44:37.620 and that was the highest priority,

00:44:39.700 and nothing else mattered.

00:44:41.680 I think that nothing mattered

00:44:43.520 to the media

00:44:44.800 except can we use this

00:44:46.960 as a way to call Trump a racist?

00:44:49.100 And that's what happened.

00:44:51.260 I think it actually might be

00:44:53.200 as simple as

00:44:54.320 what's good for Trump

00:44:56.920 and what's bad for Trump,

00:44:57.980 and then that's all there was.

00:45:00.140 I don't think the science mattered.

00:45:02.520 I don't think the data mattered.

00:45:04.940 I don't think anything mattered

00:45:06.820 except one version was bad for Trump

00:45:09.440 and one wasn't.

00:45:11.180 So they picked the bad for Trump one.

00:45:16.820 Anyway,

00:45:17.260 so I think that's the entire story,

00:45:21.200 that GetTrump made people crazy

00:45:23.240 and useless and stupid.

00:45:28.060 Meanwhile,

00:45:29.020 the Black Lives Matter movement,

00:45:32.260 which I think most of you know for now

00:45:34.820 was a fake movement.

00:45:36.360 It was just funded to be anti-Trump

00:45:38.980 and started narrative,

00:45:40.280 but it was not organic.

00:45:42.520 There were certainly many members of it

00:45:44.280 who had honest feelings about things,

00:45:47.240 but in terms of organization,

00:45:49.360 which is what gets people on the streets,

00:45:50.980 the organizing part of it was not real.

00:45:55.400 It was a fake organization.

00:45:57.340 In terms of the funding,

00:45:58.320 it was fake.

00:45:59.360 Anyway,

00:46:00.100 so what was left of BLM,

00:46:02.760 they held a protest in New York

00:46:04.780 over the death of Robert Brooks,

00:46:07.220 which name I had never heard of

00:46:08.760 until I looked into it today,

00:46:10.660 and fewer than 20 people showed up

00:46:12.920 for their Black Lives Matter protest.

00:46:15.940 Now,

00:46:16.380 when I saw the story,

00:46:18.140 I thought,

00:46:18.840 huh,

00:46:19.040 I never even heard of this story.

00:46:21.760 And then I looked into it,

00:46:22.980 and there's a video

00:46:23.800 of New York correctional officers

00:46:25.540 beating a Black guy to death

00:46:28.460 in some kind of a medical setting.

00:46:30.980 It looked like they're in a doctor's office,

00:46:33.100 and there's no sound on it.

00:46:36.560 So,

00:46:37.640 what we see

00:46:38.800 is some correctional officers

00:46:40.760 in somewhat of a good mood,

00:46:44.180 but some of them

00:46:44.860 are just doing horrible things

00:46:47.540 to a guy who appears to be,

00:46:50.620 have his hands tied behind his back.

00:46:53.400 Now,

00:46:54.240 I don't know what was going on,

00:46:57.500 because what they were doing to him

00:47:00.000 wasn't matched with any actions

00:47:02.860 that you could see from him.

00:47:04.800 So,

00:47:05.420 it wasn't obvious

00:47:06.380 that he was resisting anything.

00:47:08.080 Like,

00:47:09.380 I think his hands were tied,

00:47:11.220 or at least

00:47:11.920 they weren't active.

00:47:14.140 And he was being

00:47:15.300 badly abused.

00:47:17.540 I mean,

00:47:17.980 really badly abused.

00:47:19.900 So,

00:47:21.460 I guess there's a question I have.

00:47:25.620 If I had to guess,

00:47:27.520 it looked like he was spitting.

00:47:30.540 But,

00:47:31.100 I don't want to,

00:47:31.760 I don't want to put that out there

00:47:32.920 as a fact,

00:47:34.400 because there's no explanation

00:47:35.920 for what they were doing to him

00:47:37.500 and the way they were doing it to him,

00:47:40.440 unless he was spitting at them.

00:47:42.720 They may have told him,

00:47:43.940 don't spit at me,

00:47:44.780 or we're going to get tough,

00:47:45.800 and maybe he did.

00:47:46.620 But I'm just guessing.

00:47:47.880 Because it didn't,

00:47:48.660 it didn't look like

00:47:49.480 they were just getting revenge

00:47:50.660 for past things.

00:47:52.760 It looked like

00:47:53.540 they were trying to fix something

00:47:54.780 that was happening right then

00:47:56.120 that they didn't like,

00:47:58.600 maybe thought it was dangerous,

00:48:00.200 and they were responding

00:48:01.940 with physical force.

00:48:03.940 So,

00:48:05.500 I think there's more

00:48:07.400 to learn about this story.

00:48:09.660 So,

00:48:10.260 we have to figure out

00:48:11.160 why so many people

00:48:12.440 were in a room

00:48:13.120 and they were all,

00:48:14.360 they seemed,

00:48:15.020 seemingly they were all okay

00:48:16.640 with what looked

00:48:18.720 completely,

00:48:20.180 insanely

00:48:20.700 inappropriate

00:48:22.180 and dangerous

00:48:23.040 and racist,

00:48:25.320 if you're just looking

00:48:26.360 at the silent video.

00:48:27.600 But,

00:48:28.060 we know that

00:48:28.620 video is misleading.

00:48:30.500 It's the worst thing

00:48:31.120 in the world

00:48:31.520 when you're trying to figure out

00:48:32.480 what really happened.

00:48:33.180 In our simpler time,

00:48:34.940 we thought,

00:48:35.420 well,

00:48:35.720 if we saw it in a video,

00:48:36.880 we know what happened.

00:48:38.280 But I think most of us

00:48:39.500 are smart enough

00:48:40.140 to know that video

00:48:41.140 can be super misleading.

00:48:43.640 This is one of those.

00:48:45.520 So,

00:48:45.920 I don't know if people

00:48:46.680 didn't show up

00:48:47.260 because they didn't know

00:48:47.880 what the real story was,

00:48:48.960 but I doubt it.

00:48:49.980 I don't think that's ever

00:48:50.840 stopped anybody before.

00:48:52.360 It looks like

00:48:52.880 Black Lives Matter

00:48:54.620 is just

00:48:55.240 unfunded

00:48:56.720 and defunct.

00:48:57.720 Meanwhile,

00:49:00.980 Kamala Harris

00:49:03.680 got a book deal

00:49:05.340 according to

00:49:05.900 Wall Street Apes

00:49:06.760 at

00:49:07.460 $20 million

00:49:08.760 book deal.

00:49:10.440 $20 million

00:49:11.260 is very close

00:49:12.460 to what she owes

00:49:13.340 from all the

00:49:16.000 campaign spending,

00:49:17.160 but I don't think

00:49:18.280 that these numbers

00:49:19.160 are going to mingle.

00:49:20.660 So,

00:49:21.060 my guess is that

00:49:21.940 she keeps the $20 million

00:49:23.120 and the campaign

00:49:25.000 is a separate entity

00:49:26.020 so it'll just

00:49:27.140 still owe $20 million.

00:49:28.440 I don't think

00:49:29.200 she's going to pay

00:49:29.760 off the debt

00:49:30.380 with her book earnings.

00:49:33.040 But,

00:49:33.400 as smart people

00:49:34.500 have learned,

00:49:35.240 this is how,

00:49:36.880 basically,

00:49:38.960 this is how

00:49:39.440 bribes are paid.

00:49:40.640 You pay bribes

00:49:41.620 by giving somebody

00:49:42.480 a book deal.

00:49:44.500 And then,

00:49:44.980 if you were to look

00:49:45.480 into it,

00:49:46.140 you'd say,

00:49:46.700 why are you paying

00:49:47.800 so much for this

00:49:49.100 when you know

00:49:49.660 you won't sell

00:49:50.220 that many copies?

00:49:51.640 Do you think

00:49:52.100 there's any publisher

00:49:52.980 who can make

00:49:53.540 their money back

00:49:54.280 if they do

00:49:55.880 a $20 million

00:49:56.560 book deal

00:49:57.280 for Harris's book?

00:50:00.000 No.

00:50:01.760 Now,

00:50:02.280 let me tell you

00:50:02.720 something about

00:50:03.240 the book industry,

00:50:05.420 which I know

00:50:06.140 because I was part of it.

00:50:08.020 For,

00:50:08.380 sometimes,

00:50:09.100 publishers

00:50:09.520 need to get

00:50:11.820 the big names

00:50:12.700 in their catalog

00:50:14.200 because the big names

00:50:16.140 give them

00:50:17.120 all the attention

00:50:18.200 of the bookstores

00:50:19.420 and the booksellers.

00:50:20.660 And it allows them

00:50:21.800 to attract

00:50:22.660 other writers.

00:50:24.920 So,

00:50:25.160 if you happen

00:50:26.140 to be a good writer

00:50:26.960 and people want you

00:50:27.860 and you're good enough

00:50:29.500 that you can shop around,

00:50:32.460 wouldn't you be impressed

00:50:33.960 if a past vice president

00:50:37.300 or potential president

00:50:38.440 had a book deal there?

00:50:39.960 So,

00:50:40.460 that would tell you,

00:50:41.060 oh,

00:50:41.160 these are good publishers.

00:50:43.440 If Kamala Harris

00:50:44.640 picked them

00:50:45.080 for her book,

00:50:46.620 I mean,

00:50:47.080 I'd be safe

00:50:47.660 to pick them

00:50:48.080 for my book

00:50:48.760 because she must have

00:50:49.640 done the homework,

00:50:50.400 right?

00:50:51.380 So,

00:50:52.020 the first thing

00:50:53.480 you need to know

00:50:54.020 is that these

00:50:54.660 oversized book deals

00:50:56.040 are marketing.

00:50:59.600 So,

00:51:00.080 for the book company,

00:51:01.120 it's marketing.

00:51:02.140 So,

00:51:02.360 let's say you went

00:51:02.900 to the book company

00:51:03.460 and say,

00:51:03.740 hey,

00:51:04.300 we know that you'll

00:51:05.340 never make your money

00:51:06.160 back on this thing.

00:51:07.520 So,

00:51:08.000 obviously,

00:51:08.540 it's a bribe.

00:51:10.080 And the publisher

00:51:11.100 or editor would say,

00:51:12.200 well,

00:51:12.360 let me explain

00:51:12.860 how our industry works.

00:51:14.720 We overpay

00:51:15.600 for celebrities

00:51:17.080 knowing we won't

00:51:18.620 make our money back.

00:51:19.820 But we do that

00:51:20.960 because it's marketing

00:51:22.200 and it attracts

00:51:23.440 better authors

00:51:24.600 who are more serious

00:51:25.400 and we can make money on them.

00:51:27.100 And then the investigators

00:51:28.420 will have to say,

00:51:29.540 oh,

00:51:30.660 okay,

00:51:30.960 I didn't know

00:51:31.300 that was normal.

00:51:32.860 That's the end

00:51:33.520 of the trail.

00:51:34.780 They just tell them

00:51:35.600 it's normal business

00:51:36.520 and it is normal.

00:51:38.540 So,

00:51:39.180 there's nothing

00:51:39.800 to see here.

00:51:42.040 The other thing

00:51:42.940 you need to know

00:51:43.580 is that when publishers

00:51:45.280 announce how much

00:51:46.640 they're paying for a book,

00:51:48.020 it's often a total lie.

00:51:50.880 How many of you do that?

00:51:52.780 Do you think

00:51:53.380 somebody's going to

00:51:53.960 send her a check

00:51:54.520 for $20 million

00:51:55.260 because the news

00:51:57.680 reported it?

00:52:01.280 I once had

00:52:02.240 a $25 million book deal

00:52:04.060 and it was widely

00:52:06.460 reported in the press.

00:52:08.760 Dilbert Cartoonist

00:52:09.660 gets a $25 million

00:52:11.060 book deal.

00:52:12.460 Do you think

00:52:12.880 I got paid

00:52:13.480 $25 million

00:52:14.300 for my books?

00:52:16.460 Does anybody

00:52:16.940 think that?

00:52:18.300 No,

00:52:18.660 it was totally

00:52:19.300 made up.

00:52:21.580 It's just

00:52:22.200 a totally

00:52:22.560 made up number.

00:52:23.600 Now,

00:52:23.860 it's made up

00:52:24.360 from scraps

00:52:25.900 of truth

00:52:26.760 that you

00:52:27.420 use some hyperbole

00:52:29.300 and you say

00:52:29.820 if things went

00:52:30.640 this way

00:52:31.180 and if something

00:52:32.280 extraordinary happened,

00:52:34.060 you know,

00:52:34.240 it could reach

00:52:34.760 this number.

00:52:35.720 But no,

00:52:36.580 $25 million

00:52:37.380 I think

00:52:37.940 was closer

00:52:38.420 to $5.

00:52:40.680 Maybe $8.

00:52:42.540 You know,

00:52:42.920 by the time

00:52:43.540 you're done,

00:52:44.180 those numbers

00:52:44.800 are not real.

00:52:45.640 And then

00:52:45.880 out of that,

00:52:47.160 you pay

00:52:48.180 your agent

00:52:48.880 or in my case,

00:52:50.140 my syndication

00:52:50.900 company,

00:52:51.620 and then

00:52:52.160 you pay taxes.

00:52:54.000 And then

00:52:54.340 you pay taxes.

00:52:56.440 So,

00:52:57.040 your $25 million

00:52:58.600 might be

00:52:59.800 really $8.

00:53:00.700 maybe $15

00:53:03.920 to half

00:53:04.460 of that

00:53:04.720 goes to

00:53:05.100 another partner

00:53:05.760 and then

00:53:07.560 half of that

00:53:08.040 goes to

00:53:08.340 the government.

00:53:09.600 So,

00:53:10.140 a $25 million

00:53:10.800 paycheck

00:53:11.160 might be

00:53:12.140 $4 million

00:53:13.700 in cash

00:53:14.260 when you're

00:53:15.820 done.

00:53:16.360 How many

00:53:16.820 of you

00:53:17.000 knew that?

00:53:18.320 So,

00:53:18.780 when you see

00:53:19.180 a book deal

00:53:20.060 number,

00:53:20.600 they're not

00:53:20.900 real.

00:53:21.460 Those are

00:53:21.780 not real

00:53:22.060 numbers.

00:53:22.760 They're doing

00:53:23.740 what they can

00:53:24.360 to make it

00:53:24.840 appear the

00:53:25.280 biggest number.

00:53:26.200 So,

00:53:26.500 it could be

00:53:27.120 something like

00:53:27.720 this.

00:53:28.380 I'm not saying

00:53:28.960 it is,

00:53:29.920 but it could

00:53:30.460 be that

00:53:30.940 the $20

00:53:31.420 million is

00:53:32.060 if you

00:53:33.180 sell this

00:53:33.660 many books,

00:53:34.440 we'll give

00:53:35.180 you $5

00:53:35.860 million,

00:53:36.580 which maybe

00:53:37.380 is the

00:53:37.720 market rate.

00:53:39.640 But if

00:53:40.440 something really

00:53:41.180 amazing happened

00:53:41.940 and you sold

00:53:42.540 this many,

00:53:43.960 we'd give

00:53:44.500 you $10

00:53:44.940 million.

00:53:46.380 And,

00:53:47.240 if you're

00:53:49.860 a best

00:53:50.200 seller,

00:53:51.160 we will

00:53:51.840 automatically

00:53:52.460 give you

00:53:53.360 money for

00:53:53.840 your second

00:53:54.420 book,

00:53:55.320 and that's

00:53:55.920 another $5

00:53:56.660 million.

00:53:57.420 But,

00:53:58.280 if the

00:53:58.720 second book

00:53:59.360 does well,

00:53:59.960 that could

00:54:00.880 be $15

00:54:01.520 million.

00:54:02.940 So,

00:54:03.340 it's a whole

00:54:03.700 bunch of

00:54:04.120 if this,

00:54:04.680 if this,

00:54:05.220 next book,

00:54:06.560 maybe $20

00:54:07.780 million.

00:54:08.280 It's not

00:54:08.780 real money.

00:54:09.860 It's not.

00:54:11.100 It's fake.

00:54:12.860 Fake news.

00:54:14.460 Catherine

00:54:14.780 Herridge,

00:54:15.640 who is a

00:54:17.240 well-respected

00:54:17.880 journalist in

00:54:19.220 our world in

00:54:20.220 which not all

00:54:20.960 the journalists

00:54:22.200 are well-respected,

00:54:23.200 but she is.

00:54:24.200 And she said

00:54:25.040 that there

00:54:25.300 would be some

00:54:25.760 kind of CIA

00:54:26.540 whistleblower

00:54:27.640 event today.

00:54:31.100 Has anybody

00:54:31.820 heard anything

00:54:32.340 today?

00:54:33.960 So,

00:54:34.360 Catherine

00:54:34.720 Herridge,

00:54:35.620 CIA

00:54:36.200 whistleblower.

00:54:38.040 Any

00:54:38.400 announcement yet?

00:54:39.740 It's coming

00:54:40.180 today.

00:54:41.040 And she's

00:54:41.980 teased it

00:54:42.660 as being

00:54:43.880 substantial.

00:54:46.000 Now,

00:54:46.580 she would

00:54:47.060 not say

00:54:47.600 that,

00:54:48.100 because,

00:54:48.440 again,

00:54:48.740 one of the

00:54:49.480 few credible,

00:54:50.860 respected journalists.

00:54:52.300 She wouldn't

00:54:53.100 say it's a big

00:54:53.760 deal,

00:54:54.680 unless it was

00:54:55.440 a big deal.

00:54:55.940 So,

00:54:58.060 someone's

00:54:58.480 coming today.

00:54:59.800 She just

00:55:00.220 posted it.

00:55:00.840 What is it?

00:55:03.540 She literally

00:55:04.420 just posted it?

00:55:07.000 Is it about

00:55:07.840 the,

00:55:08.200 is it about

00:55:09.700 the energy

00:55:10.340 weapon?

00:55:14.180 God,

00:55:14.720 I hope

00:55:14.960 not.

00:55:20.120 It's the

00:55:20.720 energy

00:55:21.040 weaponist.

00:55:21.620 Oh,

00:55:25.420 don't be,

00:55:25.940 don't be about

00:55:26.680 the energy

00:55:27.180 weapon.

00:55:28.700 Don't be

00:55:29.260 that.

00:55:29.940 Because you

00:55:30.360 know what I

00:55:30.800 would worry

00:55:31.220 about,

00:55:31.540 right?

00:55:33.140 Remember,

00:55:33.680 I just told

00:55:34.240 you that she's

00:55:34.820 one of the

00:55:35.200 few respected

00:55:36.380 journalists?

00:55:37.900 And she got

00:55:38.260 fired for CBS

00:55:39.120 for being

00:55:39.680 a respected

00:55:40.160 journalist?

00:55:41.220 Do you think

00:55:41.880 they're done

00:55:42.260 with her?

00:55:42.560 I worry

00:55:44.920 that the

00:55:45.480 CIA

00:55:45.920 whistleblower

00:55:47.020 isn't up

00:55:48.320 and that

00:55:49.840 somebody is

00:55:50.740 going to

00:55:50.960 give her

00:55:51.260 some ridiculous

00:55:52.040 story that

00:55:53.920 will seem

00:55:54.220 credible because

00:55:55.060 it's a CIA

00:55:55.860 guy.

00:55:57.060 All right,

00:55:57.260 here we go.

00:55:57.680 We're looking

00:55:57.960 at it.

00:55:58.860 Breaking.

00:55:59.480 This is

00:55:59.780 Catherine

00:56:00.080 Herridge.

00:56:01.140 CIA

00:56:01.580 whistleblower

00:56:02.380 comes forward.

00:56:03.800 Former

00:56:04.080 intelligence

00:56:04.580 officer claims

00:56:05.400 career-ending

00:56:06.240 injuries caused

00:56:07.620 by foreign-directed

00:56:09.080 energy weapon.

00:56:09.840 leaked defense

00:56:11.440 department letters

00:56:12.200 acknowledging

00:56:12.780 injuries and

00:56:15.220 experiences are

00:56:16.140 real.

00:56:21.020 Oh,

00:56:21.800 it's nothing.

00:56:24.420 Let me

00:56:25.220 translate this

00:56:25.900 for you.

00:56:28.620 People just

00:56:29.540 saying it's

00:56:30.040 real doesn't

00:56:30.580 mean anything.

00:56:31.960 The injuries

00:56:32.900 are real.

00:56:35.360 If there's

00:56:36.160 not more

00:56:36.580 than the

00:56:36.980 injuries are

00:56:37.540 real,

00:56:38.100 the part

00:56:38.800 that we

00:56:39.100 already knew

00:56:39.560 is the

00:56:39.920 injuries are

00:56:40.520 real.

00:56:41.240 That doesn't

00:56:41.920 mean there's

00:56:42.280 a weapon.

00:56:44.860 I think

00:56:45.600 she might

00:56:45.980 be getting

00:56:46.360 cracking.

00:56:47.260 That's

00:56:47.740 what it

00:56:47.960 looks like.

00:56:49.440 Because if

00:56:50.380 you were

00:56:50.640 the bad

00:56:51.040 guys,

00:56:51.760 you would

00:56:52.600 want to

00:56:53.040 make sure

00:56:53.940 that the

00:56:54.360 credible

00:56:54.820 people got

00:56:56.760 taken down.

00:56:58.600 But thank

00:56:59.540 you for

00:58:07.360 Did you know

00:58:08.460 the story about

00:58:09.780 the Open AI

00:58:11.160 whistleblower?

00:58:13.080 So there was

00:58:14.160 this gentleman

00:58:15.460 who worked for

00:58:16.800 Open AI,

00:58:17.560 Sushir Balaji,

00:58:19.600 age 26,

00:58:21.200 and before he

00:58:23.760 could get his

00:58:24.300 story out

00:58:24.860 completely, I

00:58:25.680 guess, he

00:58:26.120 died of a

00:58:26.880 suicide just

00:58:29.400 last month.

00:58:30.160 Suicide.

00:58:30.860 It was ruled.

00:58:32.980 It was a

00:58:33.460 suicide in

00:58:34.300 which his

00:58:34.720 apartment was

00:58:35.480 ransacked.

00:58:37.880 Because what

00:58:38.600 you do before

00:58:39.240 you do that

00:58:40.920 is you ransack

00:58:41.700 your own

00:58:42.040 apartment.

00:58:45.020 A whistleblower.

00:58:46.680 His family

00:58:47.180 said he was

00:58:47.740 happy.

00:58:49.040 There were

00:58:49.180 no indications

00:58:50.840 he had any

00:58:51.440 problems in

00:58:51.960 his life.

00:58:54.720 Let me see

00:58:55.240 this.

00:58:56.820 Neurological

00:58:57.380 symptoms caused

00:59:00.020 by a weapon.

00:59:02.980 There's been a

00:59:03.800 cover-up.

00:59:05.180 You see what's

00:59:05.860 missing?

00:59:06.760 So what's

00:59:07.200 missing with the

00:59:07.800 CIA cover-up is

00:59:09.120 is there a

00:59:10.120 picture of the

00:59:10.680 weapon?

00:59:11.620 Is there a

00:59:12.500 description of

00:59:13.160 the weapon?

00:59:13.980 Is there

00:59:14.320 somebody who

00:59:14.840 says, yes, we

00:59:15.540 have a weapon?

00:59:16.560 Is there a

00:59:17.100 video of the

00:59:17.680 weapon?

00:59:18.640 Has any

00:59:19.120 Russian said

00:59:19.740 we have a

00:59:20.300 weapon?

00:59:21.320 If the only

00:59:22.240 reporting is

00:59:23.100 these are real

00:59:24.720 injuries, but the

00:59:27.600 extent of the

00:59:28.180 injuries is being

00:59:28.840 covered up, if

00:59:29.720 that's all

00:59:30.240 there is, that

00:59:32.100 is not evidence

00:59:33.600 of a directed

00:59:34.760 energy weapon

00:59:35.580 from the

00:59:36.520 Soviets, or

00:59:37.540 from the

00:59:38.340 Russians.

00:59:41.040 And by the

00:59:42.860 way, I'm not

00:59:44.200 saying that

00:59:44.740 there's no such

00:59:45.400 thing as a

00:59:46.060 directed energy

00:59:46.880 weapon.

00:59:48.260 I'm pretty sure

00:59:49.160 there is.

00:59:50.800 My only question

00:59:51.760 is whether

00:59:52.100 they're used in

00:59:52.900 this way by

00:59:54.640 Russia.

00:59:55.300 That part I

00:59:56.000 don't believe.

00:59:56.400 anyway, so

00:59:59.860 this OpenAI

01:00:01.360 whistleblower, he

01:00:04.020 did some kind

01:00:04.620 of analysis where

01:00:06.180 he claimed that

01:00:07.220 he had

01:00:08.940 mathematical

01:00:09.480 proof that

01:00:10.320 chat GPT is

01:00:11.240 copyright

01:00:11.680 violations, that

01:00:15.080 mostly what

01:00:15.780 mostly chat GPT

01:00:17.720 was made up of

01:00:18.420 copyright violations

01:00:19.500 basically.

01:00:21.180 And let's

01:00:23.300 see, here are

01:00:23.840 the other

01:00:24.140 things.

01:00:24.740 According to

01:00:25.480 a few

01:00:30.600 different sources

01:00:31.220 for this, it's

01:00:31.780 all over the

01:00:32.300 news today, but

01:00:33.260 apparently the

01:00:34.100 mother was not

01:00:36.260 allowed to see

01:00:36.920 his body before

01:00:37.980 he was cremated.

01:00:41.020 In what world

01:00:42.260 are you not

01:00:42.940 allowed to see

01:00:43.680 your own son's

01:00:45.120 body before it's

01:00:46.180 cremated?

01:00:46.940 That's weird.

01:00:49.080 His family was

01:00:50.280 pressured to

01:00:50.940 approve rapid

01:00:51.800 cremation.

01:00:52.460 his hard

01:00:55.240 drives

01:00:55.720 vanished, the

01:00:59.040 hard drives

01:00:59.560 which were

01:00:59.980 relevant to

01:01:00.560 the OpenAI

01:01:01.120 stuff.

01:01:01.700 Now, these

01:01:02.440 are allegations,

01:01:03.940 so I don't

01:01:05.000 know that these

01:01:05.600 claims are

01:01:06.180 true, it's

01:01:06.860 just alleged.

01:01:08.700 And his

01:01:11.260 autopsy, the

01:01:13.080 autopsy leaked

01:01:14.140 and it

01:01:14.760 suggested, quote,

01:01:15.740 trauma in many

01:01:16.560 different places

01:01:17.340 on his body,

01:01:18.100 because that's

01:01:20.180 how you end

01:01:20.940 yourself.

01:01:21.660 You beat

01:01:23.540 yourself up in

01:01:24.440 various parts of

01:01:25.260 your body.

01:01:27.820 Okay.

01:01:32.100 And it was

01:01:33.160 just about the

01:01:33.740 time that the

01:01:34.460 New York Times

01:01:35.160 had a lawsuit

01:01:36.040 for $157

01:01:37.420 billion against

01:01:38.060 OpenAI for

01:01:39.340 exactly the

01:01:40.160 stuff that

01:01:41.840 this fellow's

01:01:42.940 analysis said

01:01:43.980 really was true,

01:01:45.960 that 94% of

01:01:47.320 chat GPT's

01:01:48.080 outputs were

01:01:48.640 stolen from

01:01:49.740 copyrighted

01:01:50.460 works.

01:01:51.760 I'm not sure

01:01:52.520 if stolen is

01:01:53.240 the right word

01:01:53.700 to use, because

01:01:54.300 that's putting

01:01:55.160 judgment on it.

01:01:55.960 We don't know

01:01:56.360 what's legal or

01:01:57.220 illegal in this

01:01:57.920 mode yet.

01:02:01.580 And they

01:02:02.560 say that

01:02:03.080 OpenAI's

01:02:04.480 CEO, Sam

01:02:05.280 Altman, made

01:02:05.940 no announcement

01:02:06.660 to employees

01:02:07.720 about it.

01:02:10.100 Now, all of

01:02:10.940 these things

01:02:11.460 could be

01:02:11.940 explained, don't

01:02:13.400 you think?

01:02:14.320 If you picked

01:02:15.100 any one of

01:02:15.620 them, it'd be

01:02:16.000 like, let's

01:02:16.480 say, family

01:02:17.540 was pressured

01:02:18.220 to approve

01:02:18.900 a rapid

01:02:19.420 cremation.

01:02:21.000 Don't you

01:02:21.300 think there's

01:02:21.640 more to

01:02:21.960 that?

01:02:23.460 Like, maybe

01:02:24.500 the reason

01:02:25.940 is that they

01:02:26.620 simply didn't

01:02:27.180 have capacity

01:02:27.940 at the morgue

01:02:28.620 because there

01:02:29.300 are so many

01:02:29.920 fentanyl deaths.

01:02:31.880 Because you

01:02:32.220 know that San

01:02:33.740 Francisco is

01:02:34.380 overrun with

01:02:35.040 fentanyl overdose

01:02:36.060 deaths higher

01:02:36.860 than ever.

01:02:37.980 Don't you

01:02:38.380 think that

01:02:38.740 there's literally

01:02:39.340 a capacity

01:02:40.140 problem in

01:02:41.640 handling the

01:02:42.440 dead bodies?

01:02:43.080 If there's

01:02:44.840 a capacity

01:02:45.480 problem in

01:02:46.060 handling the

01:02:46.540 dead bodies,

01:02:48.020 then you

01:02:51.960 can see that

01:02:52.560 they would be

01:02:53.120 pressured to

01:02:53.760 approve a

01:02:54.260 rapid cremation.

01:02:56.140 But it would

01:02:56.840 be innocent.

01:02:57.540 It would just

01:02:57.880 be based on

01:02:58.400 their capacity.

01:02:59.700 You could

01:03:00.240 imagine that

01:03:01.300 that rapid

01:03:01.940 pressure meant

01:03:03.500 that the

01:03:03.880 mother couldn't

01:03:04.620 arrange her

01:03:05.120 traveling to

01:03:05.760 get there in

01:03:06.200 time.

01:03:06.480 So she

01:03:07.800 would say,

01:03:08.460 I wasn't

01:03:09.340 allowed to

01:03:09.760 see the

01:03:10.040 body.

01:03:11.220 But really,

01:03:12.040 it was just

01:03:12.440 a capacity

01:03:13.020 problem.

01:03:13.580 They had to

01:03:13.920 do it soon.

01:03:14.580 She couldn't

01:03:14.940 arrange

01:03:15.240 traveling.

01:03:15.940 So the way

01:03:16.300 she says

01:03:16.740 it is,

01:03:17.320 I wasn't

01:03:17.780 allowed to

01:03:18.140 see the

01:03:18.400 body.

01:03:19.480 That would

01:03:20.000 be normal.

01:03:20.760 That would

01:03:21.020 be just

01:03:21.280 like ordinary

01:03:21.900 business.

01:03:23.000 It would

01:03:23.460 be bad,

01:03:24.500 but it would

01:03:24.840 be ordinary.

01:03:25.740 Then these

01:03:26.180 hard drives

01:03:26.700 containing the

01:03:27.480 internal open

01:03:28.140 AI documents

01:03:28.940 vanished.

01:03:30.520 Well, if

01:03:31.240 you were a

01:03:31.660 whistleblower and

01:03:33.160 you had a

01:03:33.560 physical drive

01:03:35.520 that you

01:03:36.420 knew was

01:03:36.840 the real

01:03:37.500 powerful

01:03:38.380 stuff,

01:03:39.260 would you

01:03:39.800 keep it

01:03:40.200 in your

01:03:40.520 apartment?

01:03:42.340 Maybe.

01:03:43.780 Or you

01:03:44.940 might worry

01:03:45.500 that somebody

01:03:46.000 would try to

01:03:46.500 come get

01:03:46.900 it and you

01:03:47.780 would make

01:03:48.040 sure you

01:03:48.420 took it

01:03:48.760 out of your

01:03:49.080 computer

01:03:49.420 yourself and

01:03:50.740 you put it

01:03:51.180 somewhere.

01:03:52.800 So I'm

01:03:53.720 not convinced

01:03:54.380 that not

01:03:54.940 having those

01:03:55.660 documents in

01:03:56.620 his apartment

01:03:57.140 is a

01:03:58.240 smoking gun.

01:04:00.360 And then

01:04:00.900 the autopsy

01:04:01.560 leak suggests

01:04:02.280 trauma in

01:04:02.940 many different

01:04:03.460 places.

01:04:03.940 that one's

01:04:05.700 the biggest

01:04:06.160 smoking gun.

01:04:08.120 But the

01:04:09.140 question I

01:04:09.620 would ask

01:04:10.040 is, is

01:04:10.640 the autopsy

01:04:11.300 leak real?

01:04:12.880 How do you

01:04:13.340 know that's

01:04:13.660 a real

01:04:13.880 autopsy?

01:04:15.440 So these

01:04:16.260 are the

01:04:16.460 questions I

01:04:16.980 have.

01:04:17.400 I would

01:04:17.760 say that

01:04:18.200 the suspicions

01:04:21.080 are sky

01:04:21.780 high.

01:04:23.160 The

01:04:23.340 suspicions

01:04:23.900 are sky

01:04:24.340 high.

01:04:25.120 I don't

01:04:25.500 think anything

01:04:25.960 is proven

01:04:26.420 yet.

01:04:27.620 And at

01:04:28.340 least not

01:04:28.680 to my

01:04:28.980 satisfaction.

01:04:30.300 But do

01:04:32.080 you imagine

01:04:32.660 that a

01:04:33.660 company that's

01:04:34.280 changing the

01:04:34.860 world would

01:04:36.660 kill their

01:04:37.340 whistleblower?

01:04:39.340 Well, I

01:04:40.780 don't believe

01:04:41.540 that Sam

01:04:42.460 Altman would

01:04:43.120 put out a

01:04:43.660 hit on an

01:04:45.000 employee.

01:04:46.540 So in no

01:04:47.940 world do I

01:04:49.300 believe that

01:04:50.200 Sam Altman

01:04:50.800 said, you

01:04:51.760 know what?

01:04:52.900 Things would

01:04:53.520 go a lot

01:04:53.900 better for my

01:04:54.460 company and

01:04:55.040 I'd make

01:04:55.340 more money

01:04:55.820 if I just

01:04:56.920 have this

01:04:57.300 guy killed.

01:04:57.880 I know

01:04:59.780 I live in

01:05:00.220 the real

01:05:00.560 world and

01:05:01.160 sometimes people

01:05:01.920 do bad

01:05:02.360 things, but

01:05:02.800 if you're

01:05:03.040 telling me

01:05:03.360 that Sam

01:05:03.820 Altman

01:05:04.160 ordered a

01:05:04.900 hit, I

01:05:07.820 don't know.

01:05:09.440 I think you

01:05:10.900 couldn't drag

01:05:11.600 me to that

01:05:12.140 opinion.

01:05:13.300 That, no.

01:05:15.420 However, let's

01:05:16.480 go a little

01:05:16.900 deeper.

01:05:18.240 Do you

01:05:18.660 believe that

01:05:19.900 the CIA is

01:05:21.100 going to let

01:05:21.640 the AI

01:05:22.940 companies operate

01:05:24.020 independently?

01:05:25.840 Well, according

01:05:26.380 to Mark

01:05:26.800 Andreessen, the

01:05:28.100 Silicon Valley

01:05:28.880 investors have

01:05:29.680 been told

01:05:30.080 directly, no,

01:05:31.460 the government

01:05:31.940 is going to

01:05:32.500 control AI.

01:05:33.620 There will

01:05:34.220 only be allowed

01:05:35.180 two or three

01:05:35.900 big companies

01:05:36.580 that succeed

01:05:37.260 in it, and

01:05:38.240 we're going to

01:05:38.700 basically be in

01:05:39.500 their pocket

01:05:40.220 the entire

01:05:40.720 time.

01:05:41.760 And they

01:05:42.380 kind of need

01:05:42.860 to be.

01:05:43.920 Because if

01:05:44.680 the government

01:05:45.780 doesn't control

01:05:46.620 AI, the

01:05:47.280 government will

01:05:47.780 probably be

01:05:48.840 destroyed by

01:05:49.620 AI.

01:05:50.780 Imagine if

01:05:51.380 the government

01:05:51.860 told you the

01:05:52.760 truth, imagine

01:05:53.560 if AI told

01:05:54.840 you the

01:05:55.180 truth and

01:05:56.380 all the

01:05:57.700 time.

01:05:59.240 It would

01:05:59.920 destroy the

01:06:00.380 government.

01:06:01.920 The government

01:06:02.720 wouldn't be able

01:06:03.240 to make war.

01:06:04.380 It wouldn't be

01:06:04.820 able to do

01:06:05.140 anything that it

01:06:05.800 does now because

01:06:06.420 most of it's

01:06:06.980 corrupt.

01:06:08.040 So the

01:06:09.580 government 100%

01:06:11.020 has to have

01:06:11.740 iron-tight

01:06:12.400 control over

01:06:13.100 AI.

01:06:14.480 Now, imagine

01:06:15.020 that the CIA

01:06:15.740 knows that they

01:06:16.860 have this

01:06:17.200 valuable asset

01:06:18.060 which they

01:06:19.020 now have

01:06:19.420 control over.

01:06:20.760 But when I

01:06:21.480 say control, I

01:06:22.300 mean only control

01:06:23.120 over the things

01:06:23.640 they care about.

01:06:24.300 They don't

01:06:25.100 care too much

01:06:26.500 about the

01:06:27.580 features and

01:06:28.200 the product,

01:06:28.740 right?

01:06:29.000 They only care

01:06:29.600 that the

01:06:30.600 things they

01:06:30.980 care about

01:06:31.420 are taken

01:06:32.540 care of.

01:06:33.500 Now, would

01:06:34.360 the CIA

01:06:34.900 kill an

01:06:36.800 American

01:06:37.220 citizen,

01:06:39.400 just murder

01:06:39.920 them, if the

01:06:41.400 stakes were

01:06:42.220 possibly the

01:06:43.320 end of the

01:06:44.280 government and

01:06:44.880 the United

01:06:45.200 States?

01:06:45.980 Well, yes,

01:06:46.360 they would.

01:06:47.280 Yes, they

01:06:47.660 would.

01:06:48.980 Yeah, totally.

01:06:50.500 So, do you

01:06:51.140 have a motive?

01:06:52.400 Yes, not

01:06:53.620 Sam Altman, but

01:06:55.400 if some

01:06:56.500 intelligence agency

01:06:57.480 said, we

01:06:58.140 can't have a

01:06:59.240 world where

01:07:00.240 open AI gets

01:07:01.420 taken down

01:07:02.060 because we

01:07:03.540 have to

01:07:03.840 compete, we

01:07:05.220 can't get

01:07:05.560 behind China,

01:07:06.660 and if

01:07:07.300 stealing all

01:07:07.900 this copyrighted

01:07:08.760 work and

01:07:09.840 killing a

01:07:11.420 whistleblower is

01:07:12.220 how you get

01:07:12.860 to be the

01:07:14.000 best AI

01:07:14.560 country, better

01:07:15.440 than China,

01:07:16.400 then we just

01:07:16.980 got to kill

01:07:17.360 the guy.

01:07:17.640 Now, suppose

01:07:21.460 I came to

01:07:22.040 you and

01:07:22.340 said, all

01:07:23.320 right, you're

01:07:23.600 in charge of

01:07:24.060 this decision.

01:07:25.860 This

01:07:26.340 whistleblower

01:07:27.040 would probably

01:07:28.140 cripple open

01:07:29.220 AI.

01:07:30.580 It would

01:07:30.800 basically make

01:07:32.120 it, they'll

01:07:32.580 be sued by

01:07:33.400 every content

01:07:35.400 maker, including

01:07:36.180 me.

01:07:37.720 It would just

01:07:38.440 be a frenzy.

01:07:39.480 If they

01:07:40.440 proved that

01:07:41.140 they'd stolen,

01:07:42.360 I guess they

01:07:42.960 call it stolen,

01:07:44.220 copyrighted

01:07:44.820 work and it

01:07:45.520 could be

01:07:45.780 demonstrated.

01:07:46.300 But, if

01:07:51.360 open AI

01:07:52.520 fails, probably

01:07:54.520 the other

01:07:55.140 AIs are

01:07:55.880 susceptible to

01:07:56.900 the same

01:07:57.280 problem, because

01:07:58.520 probably whatever

01:07:59.740 open AI did to

01:08:00.840 train is not

01:08:02.260 that different

01:08:03.000 from other

01:08:03.860 AIs.

01:08:05.220 So, suppose

01:08:06.640 this whistleblower

01:08:07.500 could have taken

01:08:08.900 down open AI,

01:08:10.560 but just crippling

01:08:11.560 their business

01:08:12.100 model, they

01:08:13.040 wouldn't be able

01:08:13.420 to make a move,

01:08:14.520 and then the

01:08:15.300 other AI say,

01:08:16.300 oh, shoot,

01:08:17.960 we got our

01:08:19.240 AI the same

01:08:19.960 way they

01:08:20.320 did, and so

01:08:21.960 everybody's

01:08:22.520 crippled in the

01:08:23.200 United States

01:08:23.700 at the same

01:08:24.220 time.

01:08:25.160 So, just

01:08:25.740 destroy our

01:08:26.920 AI potential,

01:08:29.780 and we would

01:08:30.340 be behind.

01:08:31.620 But, all

01:08:32.640 right, you're

01:08:33.260 an intelligence

01:08:33.800 agency of the

01:08:34.580 United States,

01:08:35.400 you're a

01:08:36.100 patriot, and

01:08:37.580 you're also,

01:08:38.100 you're the

01:08:38.940 dirty tricks

01:08:39.640 person.

01:08:40.760 So, you're

01:08:41.620 the one who

01:08:42.040 kills people

01:08:42.680 under the

01:08:44.320 conditions that

01:08:45.920 somebody in the

01:08:46.580 government said,

01:08:47.360 we don't like to

01:08:48.440 kill people, but

01:08:49.200 we're going to

01:08:50.200 have to do it

01:08:50.660 this time.

01:08:51.340 It's the only

01:08:51.960 way the United

01:08:52.560 States can

01:08:53.120 survive in a

01:08:54.440 world where

01:08:54.940 AI dominance

01:08:55.860 probably will

01:08:57.360 determine if you

01:08:58.120 survive.

01:08:59.800 Would you

01:09:00.440 order the

01:09:01.000 hit on this

01:09:03.200 citizen who's

01:09:03.940 just trying to

01:09:04.520 do the right

01:09:05.040 thing if you

01:09:06.580 thought it could

01:09:07.140 save the country,

01:09:07.960 and your

01:09:09.080 certainty for

01:09:09.860 that was

01:09:10.440 high, like

01:09:12.800 60-70% chance

01:09:14.540 it's the

01:09:15.420 difference between

01:09:16.120 our country

01:09:17.840 surviving the

01:09:19.800 AI era and

01:09:20.980 not, and

01:09:22.300 being taken

01:09:22.960 over by, I

01:09:24.180 don't know,

01:09:24.700 Chinese hackers

01:09:25.460 who use AI

01:09:26.520 and destroy

01:09:27.780 the country.

01:09:29.500 The answer

01:09:30.340 is you'd

01:09:30.720 probably, you'd

01:09:32.040 have a tough

01:09:32.440 time with it,

01:09:33.500 but you'd

01:09:33.900 probably order

01:09:34.400 the hit.

01:09:36.100 So, this was

01:09:37.100 a whistleblower

01:09:37.800 whose whistleblowing

01:09:39.820 could have

01:09:40.540 destroyed the

01:09:41.260 United States

01:09:42.140 in a fairly

01:09:44.720 obvious,

01:09:46.460 simplistic way.

01:09:47.580 Like, you

01:09:47.840 don't have to

01:09:48.540 connect a lot

01:09:49.140 of dots.

01:09:50.500 If he took

01:09:51.280 out, if the

01:09:52.860 legal system

01:09:53.740 could be

01:09:54.840 activated by

01:09:55.680 what the

01:09:56.000 whistleblower

01:09:56.480 knew, it

01:09:57.340 would cripple

01:09:57.980 all the AI

01:09:58.720 companies, and

01:09:59.460 they wouldn't

01:09:59.760 be able to

01:10:00.100 get out of

01:10:00.520 it for who

01:10:01.380 knows how

01:10:01.760 long.

01:10:02.580 They just

01:10:02.940 wouldn't be

01:10:03.200 able to do

01:10:03.980 anything.

01:10:04.720 They'd just

01:10:05.060 be paying

01:10:05.420 off lawsuits.

01:10:06.060 And, I

01:10:10.480 don't know.

01:10:11.120 I would say

01:10:12.100 that if you

01:10:13.020 follow the

01:10:13.580 money, but

01:10:15.340 you also

01:10:15.780 follow physical

01:10:16.700 security,

01:10:18.200 probably the

01:10:19.160 CIA had

01:10:20.080 him killed.

01:10:22.400 And, I'm

01:10:24.300 not sure that

01:10:25.200 I'm worse

01:10:25.880 off for that.

01:10:28.760 I hate to

01:10:29.600 say it.

01:10:30.260 I mean,

01:10:31.180 morally,

01:10:32.040 ethically, of

01:10:32.600 course, it's

01:10:32.980 all repugnant.

01:10:34.520 We can agree

01:10:35.120 on that.

01:10:36.260 But, did

01:10:37.640 they just

01:10:38.040 kill an

01:10:38.460 American

01:10:38.780 citizen to

01:10:39.560 try to

01:10:39.880 save the

01:10:40.280 country?

01:10:41.880 I'd hate to

01:10:42.580 give them

01:10:42.840 credit, but

01:10:46.140 if you tell

01:10:46.580 me it was

01:10:47.020 the wrong

01:10:47.420 play, I'm

01:10:50.300 going to

01:10:50.500 agree with

01:10:50.960 you morally

01:10:51.480 and ethically.

01:10:54.040 But, if you

01:10:54.780 don't think

01:10:55.300 this would

01:10:55.860 have been an

01:10:56.820 existential threat

01:10:57.820 to the

01:10:58.140 country, if

01:10:58.620 this whistleblower

01:10:59.440 had, you

01:11:00.460 know, made

01:11:01.220 his case, it

01:11:02.920 was an

01:11:03.360 existential threat

01:11:04.840 to the

01:11:05.120 country.

01:11:06.340 I mean, I

01:11:06.960 really think

01:11:07.380 it was.

01:11:08.660 So, I

01:11:10.440 don't know.

01:11:11.660 Are we

01:11:12.180 better off or

01:11:12.740 worse off?

01:11:14.940 Well, I

01:11:15.520 can't believe

01:11:15.980 that he would

01:11:16.300 be the only

01:11:16.820 one who

01:11:17.320 could be

01:11:17.640 able to

01:11:17.880 do this

01:11:18.320 analysis.

01:11:19.240 He must

01:11:19.520 have shared

01:11:19.880 it with

01:11:20.140 somebody, even

01:11:22.080 if only as a

01:11:22.880 dead man

01:11:23.220 switch.

01:11:24.060 So, we

01:11:24.320 might see

01:11:24.680 more of

01:11:24.980 this.

01:11:25.360 If a

01:11:25.680 second

01:11:26.000 whistleblower

01:11:26.580 dies, I'm

01:11:28.120 going to say

01:11:28.600 I know what's

01:11:29.260 going on.

01:11:29.820 if a

01:11:31.380 second

01:11:31.700 whistleblower

01:11:32.460 says, oh,

01:11:33.560 I've got his

01:11:34.140 hard drives, and

01:11:35.900 so now I'm

01:11:36.660 the whistleblower

01:11:37.340 and just

01:11:38.380 does fine,

01:11:40.040 thrives, takes

01:11:41.660 the company to

01:11:42.260 court, wins

01:11:42.880 the case, closes

01:11:44.200 down AI, and

01:11:45.160 never dies, never

01:11:46.640 gets killed, then

01:11:48.300 I would rethink

01:11:49.240 the first one.

01:11:50.920 But if there's a

01:11:51.640 second whistleblower

01:11:52.520 who comes with the

01:11:53.240 same set of

01:11:53.880 data and also

01:11:55.760 dies mysteriously,

01:11:57.420 I'm going to go

01:11:59.000 with the

01:11:59.820 CIA order

01:12:01.300 to hit

01:12:01.680 theory, or

01:12:04.400 somebody ordered

01:12:05.340 it, I doubt

01:12:06.220 it was Sam

01:12:06.720 Oldman.

01:12:07.920 All right, a

01:12:10.140 CBS News

01:12:10.780 journalist made

01:12:11.420 some news, Jan

01:12:12.200 Crawford, she

01:12:13.440 was on Face

01:12:14.400 Nation, and

01:12:15.840 was asked the

01:12:16.540 most underreported

01:12:17.540 2024 story was

01:12:19.940 Biden's obvious

01:12:21.280 cognitive decline.

01:12:23.420 How do you

01:12:24.000 feel when you

01:12:25.180 see a

01:12:25.900 professional

01:12:26.400 journalist say

01:12:27.780 that the

01:12:28.160 biggest miss

01:12:28.800 of the year

01:12:29.340 was reporting

01:12:30.540 on Biden's

01:12:32.240 obvious

01:12:32.700 cognitive

01:12:33.280 decline?

01:12:35.700 Now, underreported

01:12:37.080 I don't think

01:12:37.740 captures what

01:12:38.480 was going on

01:12:39.140 here.

01:12:40.720 Underreported

01:12:41.240 just feels like,

01:12:41.880 you know, in

01:12:42.740 retrospect, we

01:12:43.480 should have said

01:12:43.880 more about it.

01:12:44.660 This was

01:12:45.040 intentional.

01:12:46.160 It wasn't

01:12:46.860 underreported.

01:12:49.160 It was

01:12:49.860 intentionally fake

01:12:50.920 news.

01:12:53.940 Yeah, were there

01:12:54.760 any other things

01:12:55.440 that were

01:12:55.700 underreported?

01:12:56.580 Let's see.

01:12:59.080 Biden ran on

01:13:00.440 the fine

01:13:00.820 people hoax.

01:13:02.400 He based

01:13:03.240 his campaign

01:13:03.920 on the fine

01:13:04.680 people hoax.

01:13:06.220 Scopes, and

01:13:07.940 lots of other

01:13:08.640 sources, including

01:13:09.520 me, debunked

01:13:11.020 it thoroughly.

01:13:12.840 Do you remember

01:13:13.840 the major

01:13:14.820 mainstream news

01:13:16.020 that said the

01:13:17.160 main thing that

01:13:17.920 Biden ran on

01:13:18.760 is now thoroughly

01:13:19.960 debunked?

01:13:21.440 That one was

01:13:22.440 really important.

01:13:23.220 nope, no, no

01:13:25.900 news on that.

01:13:27.280 Maybe Fox

01:13:27.940 News, but not

01:13:28.980 the mainstream.

01:13:30.680 How about the

01:13:31.540 Biden crime

01:13:32.340 family?

01:13:33.340 Do you think

01:13:33.720 that was a

01:13:34.160 little bit

01:13:34.440 underreported?

01:13:36.440 Do you think

01:13:37.020 that mattered

01:13:37.540 at all, that

01:13:38.600 he was literally

01:13:39.880 a criminal

01:13:40.600 enterprise as

01:13:41.860 president?

01:13:42.940 I think that

01:13:43.680 was a little

01:13:44.040 underreported,

01:13:45.000 just a little

01:13:45.420 bit.

01:13:46.880 How about

01:13:47.600 the reporting

01:13:48.980 that the

01:13:49.540 insurrection

01:13:50.260 hoax was a

01:13:51.940 hoax?

01:13:53.220 Was there

01:13:53.740 any reporting

01:13:54.520 that the

01:13:55.540 entire January

01:13:57.480 6th committee

01:13:58.180 was completely

01:13:59.020 corrupt and

01:14:00.380 ran an op

01:14:01.180 on the

01:14:01.460 country?

01:14:02.380 I don't

01:14:02.760 remember that

01:14:03.240 reporting.

01:14:04.400 I don't

01:14:04.620 remember seeing

01:14:05.220 it.

01:14:05.480 Again, Fox

01:14:06.660 News, Breitbart

01:14:07.520 will have

01:14:08.060 stories like

01:14:08.580 that, but

01:14:09.080 not the

01:14:10.260 mainstream

01:14:10.620 ones.

01:14:25.840 Scotiabank,

01:14:26.520 you're richer

01:14:26.980 than you

01:14:27.320 think.

01:14:30.980 I see what

01:14:32.100 you're saying.

01:14:32.680 I'm seeing a

01:14:33.300 lawyer way and

01:14:34.600 it's not clear

01:14:35.580 that training

01:14:36.100 AI is a

01:14:37.000 copyright

01:14:37.360 violation any

01:14:38.580 more than if

01:14:39.220 I go to

01:14:39.560 school and

01:14:39.900 read books

01:14:40.320 and train

01:14:40.700 my mind.

01:14:43.760 I hear what

01:14:44.560 you're saying.

01:14:45.720 That's definitely

01:14:46.580 an unsettled

01:14:47.460 question, but

01:14:48.860 you wouldn't

01:14:49.640 want to take

01:14:50.060 the risk it

01:14:50.640 got settled,

01:14:51.320 would you?

01:14:51.600 Leaving it

01:14:54.400 unsettled, they

01:14:56.060 have a business

01:14:56.660 model, but if

01:14:57.820 you take it

01:14:58.260 to court, do

01:15:00.120 you think the

01:15:00.740 jury agrees?

01:15:02.700 So your

01:15:04.100 argument that

01:15:04.800 it's no

01:15:05.080 different than

01:15:05.680 reading a

01:15:06.240 book and

01:15:06.700 learning it and

01:15:07.600 then you know

01:15:08.040 that information

01:15:08.920 when you go

01:15:09.380 forward, that's

01:15:10.900 true for

01:15:11.760 humans, but I

01:15:13.340 don't know if

01:15:13.780 that would pass

01:15:14.720 muster in a

01:15:15.480 trial.

01:15:16.580 So if there's a

01:15:17.280 risk that it

01:15:17.920 won't work, you

01:15:20.260 might still have

01:15:20.800 to order the

01:15:21.820 hit.

01:15:23.600 Anyway, so

01:15:25.260 those are all

01:15:25.980 the things that

01:15:26.580 were under

01:15:27.100 reported, but I

01:15:28.620 wonder how many

01:15:29.160 things in total

01:15:30.060 were under

01:15:31.720 reported.

01:15:33.720 Let's see, what's

01:15:34.800 the current

01:15:35.160 list?

01:15:36.600 According to

01:15:37.540 X user

01:15:38.760 morbidly

01:15:39.640 obtuse, here's

01:15:42.580 the current

01:15:43.020 list of media

01:15:44.960 hoaxes.

01:15:45.580 Now, I'm

01:15:45.920 holding it up if

01:15:46.700 you're listening to

01:15:47.360 it on Spotify or

01:15:48.560 something, you

01:15:50.020 can't see it, but

01:15:51.540 this fills the

01:15:53.380 entire page with

01:15:54.680 one bullet point

01:15:56.240 apiece for the

01:15:57.080 hoaxes.

01:15:57.680 I didn't count

01:15:58.480 them, but there

01:15:59.000 are approximately

01:15:59.500 50.

01:16:01.340 50.

01:16:03.820 50.

01:16:05.380 This is just

01:16:06.300 since the Trump

01:16:07.260 era.

01:16:08.260 This isn't

01:16:09.020 history.

01:16:10.560 This is current

01:16:11.900 news.

01:16:13.040 Would you like me

01:16:13.900 to randomly pick

01:16:14.960 one just to see if

01:16:15.820 these are real?

01:16:17.200 All right.

01:16:20.900 All right.

01:16:23.680 Trump saved

01:16:24.620 nuclear secrets at

01:16:26.100 Mar-a-Lago.

01:16:27.140 Nope, that was

01:16:27.720 fake news.

01:16:28.620 That was fake

01:16:29.240 news.

01:16:30.440 Or at least

01:16:30.880 there's no

01:16:31.220 evidence they

01:16:31.760 do that.

01:16:36.400 Patriot Front?

01:16:38.180 The Patriot

01:16:39.060 Front.

01:16:39.980 Well, we don't

01:16:40.580 know what the

01:16:40.960 real story is,

01:16:41.760 but we think we

01:16:42.440 do.

01:16:43.020 All right.

01:16:45.820 Trump built

01:16:48.460 the cages for

01:16:49.420 migrant kids.

01:16:50.380 Of course, that

01:16:50.800 was Obama

01:16:51.300 who built

01:16:51.620 them.

01:16:56.620 If you get

01:16:57.400 vaccinated, you

01:16:58.300 won't catch

01:16:58.760 COVID.

01:17:00.420 These are

01:17:01.040 real.

01:17:02.240 These are

01:17:02.880 50, about

01:17:04.100 50, media

01:17:06.380 hoaxes.

01:17:07.600 Now, do you

01:17:08.020 remember the

01:17:08.580 big story in

01:17:09.280 the media that

01:17:10.640 they've allowed

01:17:11.520 50 media

01:17:12.740 hoaxes to

01:17:14.740 be treated as

01:17:15.760 real news?

01:17:16.960 Do you

01:17:17.180 know what's

01:17:17.520 underreported?

01:17:20.280 This.

01:17:22.520 What's

01:17:23.040 underreported is

01:17:24.000 that the news

01:17:24.660 isn't real.

01:17:27.220 That's a little

01:17:28.000 underreported.

01:17:29.740 No, the

01:17:31.040 correct answer

01:17:32.040 is not, you

01:17:33.040 know, we

01:17:33.400 had a good

01:17:33.900 year, but we

01:17:34.520 got that one

01:17:35.120 topic wrong.

01:17:36.540 No, no,

01:17:38.060 that's not the

01:17:39.040 right answer.

01:17:40.080 You didn't

01:17:40.500 have a good

01:17:41.020 year.

01:17:41.720 You didn't

01:17:42.280 get one

01:17:42.700 topic wrong.

01:17:43.400 You still

01:17:44.900 are ignoring

01:17:45.920 the fact

01:17:46.420 that Kamala

01:17:46.980 Harris was

01:17:47.560 obviously

01:17:48.180 drunk and

01:17:49.660 had a

01:17:49.960 problem.

01:17:51.620 How is

01:17:52.020 ignoring Kamala

01:17:53.720 Harris' obvious

01:17:54.720 inebriation,

01:17:55.920 how is that

01:17:56.860 different from

01:17:58.260 ignoring Joe

01:17:59.280 Biden's obvious

01:18:00.440 mental decline?

01:18:02.300 They're

01:18:02.540 identical,

01:18:03.980 right?

01:18:05.180 I mean, you

01:18:06.960 and I have

01:18:07.380 seen enough

01:18:07.860 video where

01:18:08.900 not every

01:18:09.540 time she

01:18:09.860 was in

01:18:10.140 public, but

01:18:11.180 a number

01:18:11.580 of times,

01:18:12.560 including

01:18:12.980 recently, where

01:18:14.200 she was

01:18:14.560 clearly smashed.

01:18:16.500 And not

01:18:16.940 once did

01:18:17.920 the media,

01:18:18.400 the regular

01:18:18.780 media report

01:18:19.480 on it, social

01:18:20.000 media was all

01:18:20.660 over it.

01:18:21.920 But, wow,

01:18:25.140 the level of

01:18:27.420 lying and

01:18:28.240 incompetence and

01:18:29.840 confirmation bias

01:18:30.780 is just

01:18:31.920 shocking.

01:18:33.020 Meanwhile,

01:18:36.580 Joe Biden

01:18:37.180 has a

01:18:38.600 theory about

01:18:39.360 why he

01:18:40.180 didn't do

01:18:41.960 better in

01:18:42.360 the election

01:18:42.780 and had to

01:18:43.280 drop out.

01:18:44.560 He said

01:18:45.180 that he

01:18:46.480 regrets

01:18:46.900 choosing his

01:18:47.640 own attorney

01:18:48.200 general,

01:18:48.920 Merrick

01:18:49.140 Garland,

01:18:50.260 because,

01:18:50.920 I'll just

01:18:51.720 summarize it,

01:18:53.020 he didn't

01:18:54.220 use law

01:18:54.900 fair hard

01:18:55.400 enough to

01:18:55.820 get Trump.

01:18:58.480 Now, those

01:18:59.300 are my

01:18:59.600 words.

01:19:00.420 That's

01:19:00.700 basically what

01:19:01.280 he said,

01:19:02.320 that he

01:19:02.880 was too

01:19:03.240 slow.

01:19:04.400 He

01:19:04.600 slowed down

01:19:05.060 the

01:19:05.220 prosecution

01:19:05.660 of

01:19:05.900 Trump,

01:19:06.500 but he

01:19:07.160 sped up

01:19:07.600 the

01:19:07.900 prosecution

01:19:08.640 of

01:19:09.080 Hunter.

01:19:10.600 Well, I'm

01:19:11.380 pretty sure

01:19:11.880 that the

01:19:12.240 Justice

01:19:12.560 Department

01:19:13.200 tried to

01:19:14.000 get Hunter

01:19:14.580 completely

01:19:15.200 cleared.

01:19:16.160 It just

01:19:16.920 didn't work

01:19:17.460 out because

01:19:18.120 people caught

01:19:18.940 him.

01:19:21.200 But, so,

01:19:21.980 at least they

01:19:23.100 tried to do

01:19:23.820 what he

01:19:24.120 wanted, which

01:19:24.700 is get his

01:19:25.200 son off

01:19:25.560 completely.

01:19:26.000 But, he's

01:19:31.480 actually so

01:19:32.780 lost that

01:19:34.060 he goes in

01:19:34.560 public and

01:19:36.200 suggests that

01:19:36.920 maybe the

01:19:37.340 reason things

01:19:37.980 didn't work

01:19:38.640 out for

01:19:39.020 him is

01:19:39.840 that he

01:19:40.060 didn't do

01:19:40.400 enough

01:19:40.640 law fair.

01:19:43.100 Unbelievable.

01:19:44.840 And do you

01:19:45.420 think that the

01:19:46.120 regular news

01:19:47.320 will report

01:19:48.040 that senile

01:19:49.480 Joe didn't

01:19:50.940 do enough

01:19:51.400 law breaking

01:19:52.000 to win?

01:19:52.860 And that's

01:19:53.240 what he

01:19:53.500 said in

01:19:53.820 public?

01:19:54.560 No.

01:19:55.540 No.

01:19:56.180 They'll just

01:19:56.840 quote it.

01:19:57.720 No comment.

01:20:01.660 The real

01:20:02.480 Mark Polo.

01:20:04.680 Scott's

01:20:05.140 analysis has

01:20:05.840 gone bad

01:20:06.360 recently.

01:20:07.540 Why are

01:20:08.260 there never

01:20:08.680 an example?

01:20:10.520 What would

01:20:11.020 be an example

01:20:11.760 of something

01:20:12.280 I got wrong?

01:20:13.960 Just one.

01:20:16.280 Anyway,

01:20:17.560 there might

01:20:17.920 be.

01:20:19.740 All right,

01:20:20.080 here's the

01:20:20.460 funniest story

01:20:21.160 of the day.

01:20:22.000 on X,

01:20:24.660 a user

01:20:25.440 named

01:20:25.780 Damon

01:20:26.380 Linker,

01:20:29.140 who is a

01:20:30.060 senior lecturer

01:20:30.840 in political

01:20:31.440 science at

01:20:32.180 Penn.

01:20:33.440 So if you're

01:20:34.380 a senior

01:20:35.820 lecturer in

01:20:36.780 political science

01:20:37.620 at Penn,

01:20:38.260 you know a

01:20:38.860 little bit

01:20:39.180 about politics,

01:20:40.020 don't you?

01:20:40.620 Because they

01:20:41.440 don't give

01:20:41.780 those jobs

01:20:42.340 to just

01:20:43.240 anybody.

01:20:44.320 So as

01:20:44.580 somebody who

01:20:44.960 really understands

01:20:45.760 politics,

01:20:46.340 he said that

01:20:46.900 in the post,

01:20:47.700 I've been

01:20:47.960 struggling a

01:20:48.680 bit since

01:20:49.120 the election,

01:20:50.100 not emotionally,

01:20:50.940 but intellectually,

01:20:51.580 I was never

01:20:52.600 the biggest

01:20:53.080 resistance guy,

01:20:54.580 but I was

01:20:55.560 on his side

01:20:56.180 against Trump.

01:20:58.400 And then he

01:20:58.920 points to an

01:20:59.440 article written

01:21:00.040 by Ross Barkin.

01:21:02.240 He says,

01:21:02.640 nicely captured

01:21:03.400 why I've

01:21:04.240 felt adrift

01:21:05.660 since November

01:21:06.440 5th.

01:21:07.240 We have lots

01:21:08.080 of work to do.

01:21:08.740 Okay.

01:21:09.340 So he's

01:21:09.880 somebody who's,

01:21:11.420 you know,

01:21:11.800 understands that

01:21:12.900 something's happened.

01:21:13.840 He's trying to

01:21:14.360 figure out,

01:21:14.900 you know,

01:21:15.920 why he feels

01:21:16.880 the way he does.

01:21:17.460 And this

01:21:18.360 article has

01:21:19.260 some things

01:21:19.640 he agrees

01:21:20.020 with.

01:21:20.460 So I

01:21:20.680 looked at

01:21:20.960 the article

01:21:21.380 and I

01:21:23.440 will summarize

01:21:23.920 the article

01:21:24.400 by saying

01:21:24.880 that Ross Barkin

01:21:25.740 effectively said

01:21:26.840 that everything

01:21:28.000 Democrats did

01:21:29.000 was stupid

01:21:29.660 and ineffective

01:21:30.320 and they

01:21:31.360 need to

01:21:31.760 rethink 100%

01:21:32.920 of everything

01:21:33.420 they did

01:21:33.920 because

01:21:34.660 absolutely

01:21:35.140 nothing they

01:21:35.680 did was

01:21:36.000 smart.

01:21:37.120 Now,

01:21:37.440 that's my

01:21:37.920 paraphrase,

01:21:38.740 but it's

01:21:39.460 pretty close.

01:21:40.940 And then

01:21:41.380 he mentioned,

01:21:42.920 you know,

01:21:43.140 that the

01:21:43.440 Hitler talk

01:21:44.000 didn't work,

01:21:44.580 the censoring

01:21:45.180 free speech

01:21:45.800 didn't work,

01:21:46.560 the it's a brat

01:21:48.040 summer didn't

01:21:48.740 work.

01:21:49.860 Basically,

01:21:50.340 it was all

01:21:50.720 just stupid

01:21:51.620 and incompetent

01:21:52.460 and insane.

01:21:54.680 So this

01:21:56.240 poor political

01:21:57.800 science lecturer,

01:22:00.000 Damon Linker,

01:22:00.840 he's like

01:22:01.420 struggling to

01:22:02.260 figure out,

01:22:03.380 just struggling

01:22:04.500 to figure out

01:22:05.160 why I feel

01:22:06.480 the way I do.

01:22:08.300 And then

01:22:08.620 he points

01:22:11.500 to an article

01:22:12.000 that says

01:22:12.420 they just

01:22:12.760 did everything

01:22:13.500 wrong.

01:22:14.580 And then

01:22:15.540 Dinesh

01:22:16.420 D'Souza,

01:22:17.240 you all

01:22:17.560 know Dinesh,

01:22:19.220 he had

01:22:19.560 a comment

01:22:21.160 to this

01:22:21.920 poor guy's

01:22:23.480 confusion.

01:22:25.380 It's the

01:22:26.000 funniest thing

01:22:26.600 I've heard.

01:22:27.180 He said,

01:22:28.340 it is hard

01:22:28.720 to come to

01:22:29.180 terms with

01:22:29.660 the fact

01:22:30.020 that one

01:22:30.400 is an

01:22:30.800 idiot,

01:22:32.080 a fact

01:22:32.440 that years

01:22:33.000 of fake

01:22:33.540 erudition

01:22:34.520 has apparently

01:22:35.240 suppressed

01:22:35.800 in one's

01:22:36.260 mind.

01:22:39.980 He didn't

01:22:40.720 like it.

01:22:42.620 Damon

01:22:43.100 didn't like

01:22:43.640 that comment,

01:22:44.180 so he

01:22:44.640 commented

01:22:45.100 back.

01:22:46.160 But I

01:22:47.380 would like

01:22:47.680 to make

01:22:48.100 this one

01:22:48.500 observation.

01:22:50.960 Nobody

01:22:51.440 likes to

01:22:52.000 be summarized.

01:22:55.360 Nobody

01:22:55.880 likes to

01:22:56.300 be summarized.

01:22:58.080 This was a

01:22:58.920 perfect summary

01:22:59.640 that the real

01:23:01.740 problem is

01:23:02.900 that he

01:23:03.220 thought he

01:23:03.600 was smart

01:23:04.100 about politics.

01:23:05.220 Indeed,

01:23:05.520 he's a

01:23:05.900 lecturer at

01:23:06.600 Penn in

01:23:07.880 political science.

01:23:09.020 Obviously,

01:23:09.420 he's smart

01:23:09.940 about politics.

01:23:10.700 But you

01:23:11.720 could be

01:23:12.120 smart

01:23:12.400 about

01:23:12.640 politics

01:23:13.200 and still

01:23:14.440 lose

01:23:15.220 terribly

01:23:16.280 because you

01:23:17.140 think the

01:23:17.580 news is

01:23:18.080 real.

01:23:19.320 So if you

01:23:20.200 don't go to

01:23:20.680 the next

01:23:21.120 level of

01:23:21.800 understanding

01:23:22.360 about political

01:23:23.180 science,

01:23:24.420 oh, by the

01:23:24.860 way, the

01:23:25.660 news is

01:23:26.060 completely

01:23:26.440 unreal.

01:23:27.720 If you

01:23:28.360 thought the

01:23:28.740 news was

01:23:29.220 real and

01:23:30.480 you're

01:23:30.700 lecturing to

01:23:31.360 kids about

01:23:32.080 political

01:23:32.440 science,

01:23:33.440 I would

01:23:33.960 hate to

01:23:34.760 have my

01:23:35.140 kid in that

01:23:35.600 class because

01:23:36.860 I'd be afraid

01:23:37.360 of what they're

01:23:37.760 learning.

01:23:38.460 Really?

01:23:38.960 You're

01:23:39.100 learning that

01:23:39.580 the news

01:23:40.000 was real and

01:23:41.180 that therefore

01:23:41.820 Trump was a

01:23:43.220 monster?

01:23:44.120 Is that what

01:23:44.840 you're teaching

01:23:45.200 him?

01:23:45.980 Because you

01:23:46.900 need to step

01:23:47.560 back and

01:23:48.260 understand that

01:23:49.060 you are an

01:23:49.740 idiot, right?

01:23:51.320 If you

01:23:51.840 watched how

01:23:52.580 the news

01:23:54.260 operated and

01:23:55.960 you didn't

01:23:56.380 notice that

01:23:57.780 there were

01:23:58.100 over 50

01:23:59.500 obvious

01:24:00.880 coordinated

01:24:01.940 hoaxes on

01:24:03.000 TV,

01:24:04.180 coordinated

01:24:04.880 obvious

01:24:06.160 hoaxes,

01:24:07.120 50 of

01:24:08.220 them just

01:24:08.900 in the

01:24:09.160 last Trump

01:24:10.140 era,

01:24:10.860 if you

01:24:11.480 didn't

01:24:11.720 notice

01:24:12.100 that,

01:24:13.960 it might

01:24:15.560 be harsh

01:24:16.040 to say

01:24:16.420 you're an

01:24:16.740 idiot because

01:24:18.420 it's more

01:24:18.820 like brainwashing.

01:24:19.760 It's not

01:24:19.960 actually an

01:24:20.760 IQ problem.

01:24:22.360 Brainwashing,

01:24:24.840 nobody has

01:24:26.160 any defense

01:24:27.880 to it.

01:24:28.720 So it

01:24:29.140 doesn't matter

01:24:29.540 how smart

01:24:29.980 you are or

01:24:30.740 how well

01:24:31.200 informed,

01:24:32.340 the brainwashing

01:24:32.960 still works.

01:24:34.300 That's why

01:24:34.900 it's brainwashing.

01:24:35.680 It's not

01:24:35.960 reason.

01:24:37.120 So I

01:24:38.740 think his

01:24:39.020 problem is

01:24:39.500 he just

01:24:39.840 got surrounded

01:24:41.060 by people

01:24:41.640 who had a

01:24:41.980 certain view,

01:24:43.180 watched the

01:24:43.720 news,

01:24:44.120 thought it

01:24:44.420 was real,

01:24:45.060 and he

01:24:45.540 was effectively

01:24:46.160 brainwashed

01:24:46.920 into not

01:24:47.520 understanding

01:24:48.160 his own

01:24:49.700 specialty.

01:24:51.060 His own

01:24:51.800 specialty is

01:24:52.420 political science

01:24:53.280 and the

01:24:54.060 brainwashing is

01:24:54.840 so strong

01:24:56.000 that,

01:24:57.640 let's be

01:24:58.160 honest,

01:24:58.860 he's not

01:24:59.320 an idiot.

01:25:01.100 He's probably

01:25:01.980 way smarter

01:25:02.780 than almost

01:25:04.840 all of us.

01:25:06.160 Probably.

01:25:07.120 By the

01:25:08.000 time you're

01:25:08.360 a senior

01:25:08.680 lecturer at

01:25:09.320 Penn,

01:25:10.060 you're smart.

01:25:11.060 You're really

01:25:11.480 smart.

01:25:12.800 But being

01:25:13.440 smart doesn't

01:25:14.060 help you.

01:25:15.440 If you

01:25:16.080 can't see

01:25:16.620 past the

01:25:18.080 fake news

01:25:18.840 and the

01:25:19.200 TDS and

01:25:20.200 you don't

01:25:20.660 know the

01:25:21.120 confirmation

01:25:21.700 bias is your

01:25:23.720 operating system,

01:25:25.160 then everything's

01:25:26.160 invisible to you.

01:25:27.140 You'd be

01:25:27.540 flying blind.

01:25:29.060 So I think

01:25:29.400 that was the

01:25:30.160 problem.

01:25:30.420 So although

01:25:31.640 Dinesh's

01:25:32.700 comment was

01:25:33.340 hilarious,

01:25:35.040 it's not

01:25:36.920 completely right

01:25:37.720 because there's

01:25:38.260 nothing wrong

01:25:38.980 with his

01:25:39.280 brain.

01:25:39.660 He's just

01:25:39.980 brainwashed.

01:25:43.240 Here's an

01:25:44.100 analytical

01:25:44.620 problem that I

01:25:45.720 keep seeing

01:25:46.300 people making.

01:25:47.300 In this case,

01:25:48.240 there was a

01:25:48.620 Republican

01:25:49.040 politician who

01:25:50.220 made it.

01:25:50.900 But I'll just

01:25:51.260 make the

01:25:51.580 general comment.

01:25:52.480 I keep

01:25:54.220 seeing people

01:25:55.120 say that

01:25:56.340 immigration is

01:25:58.920 what made

01:25:59.380 the country

01:25:59.800 great and

01:26:00.800 there's so

01:26:01.200 many examples

01:26:02.880 in our whole

01:26:03.640 American history

01:26:04.400 where we're

01:26:05.660 better off

01:26:06.220 because of

01:26:06.920 lots of

01:26:07.920 immigration.

01:26:09.440 Therefore,

01:26:10.860 since it's

01:26:11.400 always been

01:26:11.840 good in our

01:26:12.360 history,

01:26:13.080 then it's

01:26:14.200 good now.

01:26:15.500 Is that a

01:26:16.240 good argument?

01:26:18.300 That for

01:26:19.260 200 years

01:26:21.220 plus the

01:26:22.420 United States

01:26:23.020 was definitely

01:26:23.740 better off

01:26:24.400 because of

01:26:25.580 immigration,

01:26:26.180 no doubt

01:26:26.480 about it,

01:26:26.940 which I

01:26:27.260 agree with.

01:26:27.960 I would say

01:26:28.660 that's just

01:26:29.040 a fact.

01:26:30.420 But does

01:26:31.080 that mean

01:26:31.760 that it's

01:26:32.340 still a good

01:26:33.820 idea?

01:26:35.440 Well,

01:26:36.040 that would

01:26:36.340 depend.

01:26:36.800 Has

01:26:36.940 anything

01:26:37.200 changed?

01:26:41.380 Badly

01:26:41.840 duped by

01:26:42.360 Bill Gates?

01:26:43.500 No,

01:26:44.000 you don't

01:26:44.260 know that.

01:26:45.480 All I did

01:26:46.300 was ask you

01:26:46.920 for the

01:26:47.240 evidence,

01:26:48.260 and then

01:26:49.340 things would

01:26:51.360 go quiet.

01:26:52.420 So you

01:26:53.120 can't say

01:26:53.480 I was

01:26:53.720 duped by

01:26:54.360 Bill Gates.

01:26:55.240 You could

01:26:55.980 say you

01:26:56.580 have an

01:26:56.940 opinion

01:26:57.240 that's not

01:26:57.800 backed by

01:26:58.460 evidence,

01:26:59.400 and I've

01:27:01.080 asked you

01:27:01.400 for the

01:27:01.660 evidence.

01:27:03.420 And do

01:27:04.680 we have a

01:27:05.520 suspicion that

01:27:06.840 Bill Gates

01:27:07.360 is up to

01:27:07.820 no good and

01:27:09.120 using his

01:27:09.620 charities to

01:27:10.280 make money?

01:27:11.240 Yes,

01:27:11.560 we do.

01:27:12.960 Do we have

01:27:13.940 an ability to

01:27:14.920 read his

01:27:15.360 mind?

01:27:16.480 No.

01:27:17.200 Are there

01:27:17.700 any documents

01:27:18.520 that suggest

01:27:19.880 that?

01:27:20.680 No.

01:27:22.900 So your

01:27:23.740 certainty is

01:27:25.020 irrational.

01:27:26.060 You might

01:27:26.400 be right,

01:27:27.600 but not

01:27:28.420 because the

01:27:28.900 evidence is

01:27:30.460 conclusive.

01:27:32.460 All right.

01:27:34.520 So here's

01:27:35.220 my only

01:27:35.680 comment on

01:27:38.220 immigration.

01:27:39.060 If you

01:27:39.460 thought it

01:27:39.740 was great

01:27:40.120 in the

01:27:40.320 past,

01:27:40.700 and therefore

01:27:41.120 we should

01:27:41.480 do more

01:27:41.860 of it,

01:27:42.160 that is

01:27:42.460 not a

01:27:42.760 good analysis

01:27:43.340 because too

01:27:43.960 much has

01:27:44.400 changed.

01:27:45.580 In the

01:27:45.900 past,

01:27:47.200 give me a

01:27:47.740 fact check on

01:27:48.300 this.

01:27:49.320 So I'm

01:27:49.640 going to

01:27:49.760 make some

01:27:50.080 statements.

01:27:50.660 Tell me if

01:27:51.060 you think

01:27:51.360 these are

01:27:51.720 all true.

01:27:52.660 In the

01:27:53.100 past,

01:27:54.380 our country

01:27:55.120 imported

01:27:55.560 mostly

01:27:56.020 Christians.

01:27:57.320 Is that

01:27:57.780 true?

01:27:59.720 Mostly

01:28:00.240 Christians in

01:28:01.120 the early

01:28:01.440 days of

01:28:01.840 the country.

01:28:02.960 And mostly

01:28:03.940 into empty

01:28:04.860 big country

01:28:06.080 that had

01:28:06.400 plenty of

01:28:06.780 room.

01:28:07.700 And also

01:28:08.300 at a time

01:28:08.900 when

01:28:09.360 international

01:28:10.640 terrorism

01:28:11.240 hadn't even

01:28:12.180 been invented.

01:28:14.080 And we

01:28:15.780 had unlimited

01:28:16.460 demand for

01:28:17.720 unskilled

01:28:18.480 workers.

01:28:20.500 Does that

01:28:21.580 describe much

01:28:23.280 of America's

01:28:23.960 past?

01:28:24.920 So I'll

01:28:25.320 say it

01:28:25.580 again.

01:28:26.400 Mostly

01:28:26.960 Christian

01:28:27.580 immigrants or

01:28:29.140 people who

01:28:29.740 grew up in

01:28:30.380 that kind

01:28:31.360 of environment.

01:28:33.780 And we

01:28:35.240 were mostly

01:28:35.780 a Christian

01:28:36.280 country,

01:28:37.600 so it was

01:28:37.980 mostly bringing

01:28:38.660 in people

01:28:39.100 who already

01:28:39.900 started with

01:28:40.720 kind of the

01:28:41.800 same set of

01:28:42.360 values.

01:28:43.560 And no

01:28:44.400 risk of

01:28:44.780 international

01:28:45.260 terrorism at

01:28:45.960 the time.

01:28:46.380 And pretty

01:28:48.000 much everybody

01:28:48.620 who came

01:28:49.040 in, if

01:28:49.920 you had

01:28:50.260 hands and

01:28:50.840 legs, you

01:28:51.640 could get a

01:28:52.060 job working

01:28:52.720 some manual

01:28:53.340 thing.

01:28:54.080 You didn't

01:28:54.560 need a lot

01:28:54.860 of training.

01:28:55.920 Training

01:28:56.280 wasn't a

01:28:56.900 big issue

01:28:57.260 then.

01:28:58.420 So under

01:28:59.380 those conditions,

01:29:00.760 was the

01:29:02.100 mass immigration

01:29:02.940 of our

01:29:03.560 history a

01:29:04.160 good idea?

01:29:05.940 I say yes.

01:29:07.520 Does anybody

01:29:07.960 disagree with

01:29:08.560 that?

01:29:09.820 Historically,

01:29:10.440 it was a

01:29:10.760 good idea?

01:29:12.660 I'm seeing

01:29:13.100 some nopes.

01:29:13.620 Well, I

01:29:15.320 can say

01:29:15.680 for sure

01:29:16.260 that if

01:29:17.380 we had not

01:29:18.520 built up to

01:29:19.080 the number

01:29:19.440 of people

01:29:19.840 we have,

01:29:20.760 and we

01:29:21.120 wouldn't have

01:29:21.480 done it

01:29:21.760 through natural

01:29:22.460 births,

01:29:23.880 if we hadn't

01:29:24.580 got to the

01:29:25.080 size we're

01:29:25.720 at, we

01:29:27.040 could not

01:29:27.500 have helped

01:29:28.740 win World

01:29:29.300 War II,

01:29:30.040 we wouldn't

01:29:30.480 have the

01:29:30.800 biggest economy,

01:29:32.060 we wouldn't

01:29:32.520 have plenty

01:29:33.220 of geniuses

01:29:34.000 because we

01:29:34.400 have so many

01:29:34.820 people.

01:29:35.740 So I can

01:29:36.620 tell you with

01:29:37.080 my background

01:29:37.620 in economics,

01:29:40.400 immigration in

01:29:41.480 the past was

01:29:42.840 a complete

01:29:43.660 winner,

01:29:44.800 complete winner.

01:29:46.180 There's always

01:29:46.660 some downside,

01:29:47.880 but the

01:29:49.000 benefits over

01:29:50.080 the cost,

01:29:51.020 gigantic,

01:29:52.000 gigantic

01:29:52.580 benefits over

01:29:53.200 the cost.

01:29:53.840 Now, here's

01:29:54.980 what's different.

01:29:56.860 We now have

01:29:58.240 competition for

01:29:59.460 jobs like we've

01:30:00.420 never had.

01:30:01.420 We now have

01:30:02.380 the need for

01:30:02.920 skilled labor,

01:30:04.180 not unlimited

01:30:05.320 unskilled labor.

01:30:08.220 We're not

01:30:10.600 letting in

01:30:11.220 exclusively people

01:30:12.540 who are

01:30:12.940 already sort

01:30:14.340 of Christian

01:30:14.920 into a

01:30:15.540 Christian country

01:30:16.380 and already

01:30:17.380 buying into

01:30:18.680 the main

01:30:19.360 things.

01:30:20.860 So here's

01:30:22.500 what I think

01:30:22.980 has to be

01:30:24.160 part of the

01:30:26.440 conversation.

01:30:28.120 The thing

01:30:28.880 that matters

01:30:29.340 is the rate

01:30:30.240 of assimilation,

01:30:31.840 and we don't

01:30:32.840 talk about

01:30:33.320 that enough.

01:30:34.920 So if you

01:30:36.280 were America

01:30:37.040 100 years

01:30:38.460 ago and you

01:30:39.680 let in

01:30:40.280 somebody

01:30:40.960 Irish,

01:30:42.000 they already

01:30:43.440 spoke English,

01:30:44.860 they were

01:30:45.660 probably

01:30:46.100 Christian,

01:30:47.840 and pretty

01:30:48.900 easy to

01:30:49.580 assimilate,

01:30:50.900 right?

01:30:51.600 But if you

01:30:52.520 let in,

01:30:53.000 say,

01:30:53.360 let's say,

01:30:54.000 an Islamic

01:30:57.160 family,

01:30:59.220 or let's

01:31:00.020 say a couple,

01:31:00.820 you let in

01:31:01.280 an Islamic

01:31:01.800 person or

01:31:02.840 a couple,

01:31:03.720 do you

01:31:04.620 worry that

01:31:05.900 their set

01:31:06.600 of beliefs

01:31:07.060 will be

01:31:07.680 conflicting

01:31:08.380 with the

01:31:09.080 dominant

01:31:09.420 beliefs in

01:31:09.900 the country

01:31:10.340 so that if

01:31:11.580 you let

01:31:11.980 in one

01:31:12.620 person,

01:31:13.040 it would

01:31:13.200 be no

01:31:13.460 big deal.

01:31:14.500 If you

01:31:15.120 let in

01:31:15.500 millions

01:31:15.900 of people

01:31:16.460 who had

01:31:17.500 that same

01:31:17.960 characteristic

01:31:18.600 that at

01:31:19.760 the beginning

01:31:20.300 they're not

01:31:21.000 exactly like

01:31:21.840 the people

01:31:22.580 who are

01:31:22.840 already here

01:31:23.280 in terms

01:31:24.060 of the

01:31:24.480 social,

01:31:25.440 ethical,

01:31:26.780 moral

01:31:27.120 opinions of

01:31:28.360 what's right

01:31:28.700 and wrong.

01:31:29.000 but if

01:31:33.160 you took

01:31:33.460 any one

01:31:33.880 family,

01:31:35.240 an Islamic

01:31:35.760 country,

01:31:36.860 or Islamic

01:31:37.500 couple,

01:31:39.260 and they

01:31:40.080 had a

01:31:40.320 kid,

01:31:41.140 what are

01:31:41.480 the odds

01:31:42.060 that the

01:31:42.840 child,

01:31:43.640 who would

01:31:43.920 then be

01:31:44.360 raised in

01:31:44.820 America,

01:31:45.880 would have

01:31:46.600 old Islamic

01:31:47.640 beliefs,

01:31:48.460 same as

01:31:48.940 their parents,

01:31:50.300 versus

01:31:50.700 would be

01:31:51.740 pretty much

01:31:52.280 buying into

01:31:53.600 the American

01:31:54.100 experience?

01:31:55.260 Pretty much

01:31:56.060 by the

01:31:56.440 second

01:31:56.700 generation,

01:31:57.320 everybody's

01:31:58.900 just an

01:31:59.260 American.

01:32:00.680 Now,

01:32:01.280 that's an

01:32:01.820 overstatement,

01:32:02.900 right?

01:32:03.360 There are

01:32:03.760 exceptions.

01:32:04.640 But would

01:32:05.240 you buy

01:32:05.720 that

01:32:06.400 frame?

01:32:10.200 By the

01:32:10.980 second

01:32:11.260 generation,

01:32:12.600 everybody's

01:32:13.700 just an

01:32:14.040 American.

01:32:15.220 Now,

01:32:15.620 that's one

01:32:15.920 of the

01:32:16.140 superpowers

01:32:16.820 of America.

01:32:17.780 Our culture

01:32:18.480 here is so

01:32:19.240 strong that

01:32:20.580 we export

01:32:21.320 it without

01:32:21.680 even trying.

01:32:22.960 There are

01:32:23.280 countries all

01:32:23.860 over the

01:32:24.160 world that

01:32:24.660 dress like

01:32:25.860 us,

01:32:26.180 listen to

01:32:26.520 our music,

01:32:27.700 wish they

01:32:28.200 had our

01:32:28.600 political

01:32:29.060 system,

01:32:29.800 look to

01:32:30.180 us to

01:32:30.560 see what's

01:32:30.920 right and

01:32:31.220 wrong.

01:32:32.320 Our

01:32:32.580 American

01:32:33.480 culture is

01:32:34.300 super

01:32:34.920 strong and

01:32:35.780 sticky.

01:32:36.660 So you

01:32:37.240 could bring

01:32:37.640 in a

01:32:38.660 very

01:32:38.900 fundamentalist

01:32:39.980 Islamic

01:32:40.700 family,

01:32:41.800 and by

01:32:42.760 the next

01:32:43.140 generation,

01:32:43.800 they're just

01:32:44.080 Americans.

01:32:45.060 The kids

01:32:45.440 are just

01:32:45.760 Americans.

01:32:46.520 And I've

01:32:47.100 never seen

01:32:47.520 an exception

01:32:48.020 to it.

01:32:48.520 Have you?

01:32:49.860 Have you

01:32:50.900 spent time

01:32:51.420 around the

01:32:52.940 children of

01:32:53.980 first-generation

01:32:54.960 immigrants?

01:32:55.480 I have.

01:32:57.360 I've spent

01:32:57.660 a lot of

01:32:58.040 time with

01:32:58.760 people who

01:32:59.240 are with

01:33:00.100 their children,

01:33:00.860 now adults,

01:33:01.880 but the

01:33:02.420 children of

01:33:03.180 immigrants.

01:33:05.540 Every one

01:33:06.220 of them is

01:33:07.520 just an

01:33:07.880 American.

01:33:09.840 Every one

01:33:10.460 of them.

01:33:11.040 There's not a

01:33:11.660 single person

01:33:12.440 who acts like

01:33:14.920 the old

01:33:15.200 country.

01:33:16.080 It's just not

01:33:16.760 a thing.

01:33:18.260 So here's

01:33:20.120 what I think

01:33:20.500 needs to be

01:33:21.000 part of

01:33:21.240 the

01:33:21.340 conversation.

01:33:22.400 If you

01:33:22.920 tell me

01:33:23.320 I'm going

01:33:23.660 to bring

01:33:23.960 in a

01:33:24.480 million

01:33:24.840 Islamic

01:33:25.860 people

01:33:26.320 and

01:33:26.660 mostly

01:33:27.000 that

01:33:27.200 are

01:33:27.280 going

01:33:27.380 to

01:33:27.480 settle

01:33:27.720 in one

01:33:28.120 state,

01:33:29.400 is that

01:33:29.780 the same

01:33:30.400 as the

01:33:30.840 way we

01:33:31.140 did

01:33:31.340 immigration

01:33:31.820 in the

01:33:32.200 past?

01:33:32.960 Because if

01:33:33.500 you bring

01:33:33.860 in a

01:33:34.140 million that

01:33:35.640 have a

01:33:35.940 completely

01:33:36.300 different set

01:33:36.960 of values,

01:33:38.120 you have

01:33:38.800 the problem

01:33:39.700 that they

01:33:40.100 might set

01:33:40.620 up their

01:33:40.940 own little

01:33:41.340 microculture

01:33:42.300 and just

01:33:43.920 say,

01:33:44.200 you know,

01:33:44.980 we're going

01:33:45.680 to do a

01:33:46.440 little

01:33:46.560 homeschooling

01:33:47.400 and our

01:33:48.220 kids are

01:33:48.540 not going

01:33:48.820 to grow up

01:33:49.160 as Americans

01:33:49.780 because that's

01:33:50.300 the worst

01:33:50.600 thing.

01:33:52.460 So if you

01:33:53.220 brought in

01:33:53.580 like a

01:33:53.960 million people

01:33:54.520 and put

01:33:54.800 them in

01:33:55.000 one state,

01:33:56.160 you put the

01:33:57.540 whole state

01:33:58.000 and the

01:33:58.300 country at

01:33:58.740 risk because

01:33:59.700 now you've

01:34:00.040 brought in

01:34:00.460 really something

01:34:01.360 where the

01:34:01.800 second generation

01:34:02.640 has some

01:34:03.860 chance of

01:34:05.240 not automatically

01:34:06.000 becoming Americans

01:34:06.960 like everybody

01:34:07.580 does because

01:34:08.840 they might be

01:34:09.420 isolated,

01:34:11.060 you know,

01:34:11.180 sort of like

01:34:11.540 the Amish,

01:34:12.660 except not

01:34:14.080 as productive.

01:34:15.300 You know,

01:34:15.640 the Amish are

01:34:16.300 Christians,

01:34:17.640 so,

01:34:18.060 you know,

01:34:18.500 them having

01:34:19.500 their own

01:34:19.820 little thing

01:34:20.320 where they

01:34:20.640 operate as

01:34:21.160 themselves

01:34:21.540 doesn't have

01:34:22.160 any impact

01:34:22.680 on us.

01:34:23.440 In fact,

01:34:23.820 they're great

01:34:24.360 citizens.

01:34:26.040 But if you

01:34:26.700 brought somebody

01:34:27.140 in who

01:34:27.600 really had a

01:34:28.940 different culture,

01:34:30.520 everything would

01:34:32.080 be fine if

01:34:34.040 you don't bring

01:34:34.560 in too many

01:34:35.220 of them too

01:34:35.680 quickly because

01:34:36.980 the second

01:34:37.340 generation would

01:34:38.080 already be

01:34:38.580 Americans.

01:34:40.300 100% wrong,

01:34:41.460 you say.

01:34:42.880 That's a strong

01:34:43.720 argument you have

01:34:44.380 there.

01:34:45.040 100% wrong.

01:34:45.980 Sorry,

01:34:46.460 I changed my

01:34:47.900 opinion because

01:34:48.940 there was one

01:34:49.340 person who

01:34:49.800 said I'm

01:34:50.120 100% wrong.

01:34:53.660 Anyway,

01:34:54.660 this is

01:34:55.780 ridiculous.

01:34:56.880 Have you

01:34:57.180 noticed you

01:34:57.560 don't have

01:34:57.860 reasons?

01:34:59.940 For those

01:35:00.900 of you who

01:35:01.400 are completely

01:35:02.540 unhappy with

01:35:03.340 what I just

01:35:03.840 said,

01:35:05.700 yeah.

01:35:12.800 So,

01:35:13.880 I see what

01:35:16.200 you're saying.

01:35:17.500 I hear what

01:35:17.920 you're saying.

01:35:23.560 Minnesota,

01:35:24.260 Dearborn.

01:35:25.720 No,

01:35:26.320 you're telling

01:35:26.900 me I'm wrong

01:35:27.580 but you're

01:35:27.960 agreeing with

01:35:28.480 me.

01:35:29.120 So,

01:35:29.400 somebody's

01:35:29.780 saying I'm

01:35:30.180 wrong because

01:35:31.480 of Dearborn,

01:35:32.280 Michigan.

01:35:33.360 Dearborn,

01:35:33.880 Michigan is my

01:35:34.600 point.

01:35:35.200 That's not

01:35:35.560 your point.

01:35:37.240 Dearborn,

01:35:37.740 Michigan is

01:35:38.280 an example of

01:35:39.180 doing it wrong.

01:35:39.820 So,

01:35:41.300 I'm saying

01:35:41.940 that Dearborn

01:35:43.900 is my

01:35:44.900 example of

01:35:45.600 doing it

01:35:45.960 wrong.

01:35:46.640 So,

01:35:47.220 I'm not

01:35:47.640 wrong for

01:35:49.160 agreeing with

01:35:49.960 you that

01:35:51.320 Dearborn is

01:35:52.040 an example of

01:35:52.640 doing it

01:35:52.940 wrong.

01:35:54.140 All right.

01:35:54.720 So,

01:35:55.220 disagreeing with

01:35:55.960 me necessarily

01:35:56.580 means that

01:35:57.160 your opinion is

01:35:57.740 different from

01:35:58.300 mine.

01:35:58.800 That's the

01:35:59.200 way to do

01:35:59.580 that.

01:36:01.000 If you agree

01:36:01.800 with me

01:36:02.140 completely,

01:36:03.020 don't yell

01:36:04.120 you're 100%

01:36:04.920 wrong.

01:36:05.180 All right.

01:36:08.820 And the

01:36:09.320 other thing

01:36:09.700 is that

01:36:10.420 we've had

01:36:11.440 way too

01:36:11.840 much

01:36:12.080 immigration

01:36:12.640 lately,

01:36:13.460 which has

01:36:14.440 not been

01:36:14.860 the case

01:36:15.420 in the

01:36:15.640 past,

01:36:16.500 and the

01:36:17.220 employment

01:36:17.980 is not

01:36:18.680 exactly

01:36:19.140 where we

01:36:19.960 want it.

01:36:20.860 So,

01:36:21.260 I would

01:36:21.500 say that

01:36:21.920 all the

01:36:22.280 things that

01:36:22.860 were true

01:36:23.560 in the

01:36:23.800 past,

01:36:24.200 let me

01:36:24.580 see if

01:36:24.840 I can

01:36:25.040 find the

01:36:25.340 one place

01:36:25.800 where you'll

01:36:26.280 agree with

01:36:26.680 me.

01:36:27.380 Let's

01:36:27.580 see if I

01:36:27.900 can get

01:36:28.120 everybody

01:36:28.500 to agree

01:36:28.980 with just

01:36:29.400 this.

01:36:30.780 Using

01:36:31.220 our

01:36:31.600 history of

01:36:32.520 immigration

01:36:33.040 as a

01:36:34.560 justification

01:36:35.100 for what

01:36:36.820 we do

01:36:37.160 today

01:36:37.640 is a

01:36:38.520 bad

01:36:38.720 argument.

01:36:39.700 Everybody

01:36:40.020 okay with

01:36:40.440 that?

01:36:41.760 Just that

01:36:42.420 point.

01:36:43.620 Using our

01:36:44.340 successful

01:36:44.980 immigration

01:36:45.560 of the

01:36:45.880 past

01:36:46.280 is no

01:36:47.260 argument

01:36:47.660 at all

01:36:48.200 that we

01:36:49.220 should do

01:36:49.600 something

01:36:50.020 in the

01:36:50.760 present.

01:36:52.680 Everything's

01:36:53.280 different.

01:36:54.260 So,

01:36:54.500 you should

01:36:54.640 look at

01:36:55.480 it like

01:36:55.780 it was a

01:36:56.680 new

01:36:56.840 decision.

01:36:57.760 That's

01:36:58.140 all.

01:37:00.080 Anyway,

01:37:00.900 the

01:37:01.400 Western

01:37:01.720 Journal,

01:37:02.440 Douglas

01:37:02.800 Golden,

01:37:03.300 is reporting

01:37:03.760 that the

01:37:04.820 World

01:37:05.080 Bank

01:37:05.480 doesn't

01:37:07.200 know where

01:37:07.660 their $41

01:37:08.320 billion in

01:37:09.280 funding for

01:37:09.920 the climate

01:37:10.400 change stuff

01:37:11.280 went to.

01:37:12.960 But there

01:37:14.380 was some

01:37:14.680 fact-checking

01:37:15.280 on that,

01:37:16.000 and the

01:37:16.320 World Bank

01:37:17.980 wants you

01:37:19.940 to know,

01:37:20.540 no,

01:37:20.740 no,

01:37:20.840 no,

01:37:20.980 no.

01:37:21.460 It's not

01:37:22.060 that we

01:37:22.300 lost the

01:37:23.080 money.

01:37:23.800 It's just

01:37:24.400 that we

01:37:24.700 don't know

01:37:25.140 where it

01:37:25.460 went.

01:37:28.500 Yeah.

01:37:29.160 So it's

01:37:29.840 not lost,

01:37:30.540 people.

01:37:30.900 Don't worry.

01:37:31.340 It's just

01:37:32.420 they don't

01:37:32.840 know where

01:37:33.080 it went.

01:37:34.860 So I'm

01:37:36.600 going to

01:37:36.760 give you

01:37:37.200 this model

01:37:38.260 for the

01:37:38.640 world.

01:37:40.220 Everything

01:37:40.880 large is

01:37:41.620 corrupt.

01:37:43.320 Everything.

01:37:44.560 So the

01:37:45.300 World Bank,

01:37:46.140 very large,

01:37:47.200 $41 billion

01:37:47.920 in funding,

01:37:48.880 climate stuff,

01:37:50.960 corrupt.

01:37:53.840 Big pharma,

01:37:55.180 corrupt.

01:37:55.800 Big food,

01:37:56.740 corrupt.

01:37:57.720 Big finance,

01:37:59.100 corrupt.

01:37:59.360 Big government,

01:38:01.380 corrupt.

01:38:03.100 Right?

01:38:04.280 There's a

01:38:04.860 pretty obvious

01:38:05.680 and clear

01:38:06.180 pattern.

01:38:07.120 But your

01:38:08.560 next-year

01:38:09.420 neighbor,

01:38:10.560 maybe totally

01:38:11.240 honest.

01:38:12.120 Maybe.

01:38:13.140 Your family

01:38:14.620 member could

01:38:15.900 be totally

01:38:16.500 honest and

01:38:17.400 moral.

01:38:18.300 At the

01:38:19.140 smallest scale

01:38:20.200 of human

01:38:20.980 activity,

01:38:22.780 you can

01:38:23.600 have complete

01:38:24.140 honesty.

01:38:25.440 As soon

01:38:26.400 as it

01:38:26.700 grows,

01:38:27.200 the odds

01:38:30.360 of complete

01:38:31.180 honesty go

01:38:31.800 down.

01:38:32.280 If you've

01:38:32.660 ever worked

01:38:33.120 for a

01:38:33.820 big company,

01:38:34.440 for example,

01:38:36.480 even if your

01:38:37.920 department is

01:38:38.640 just, say,

01:38:39.000 100 people

01:38:39.760 of a larger

01:38:41.340 company,

01:38:42.300 that 100

01:38:42.920 people is

01:38:43.740 already enough

01:38:44.620 that 25 of

01:38:46.660 them are just

01:38:47.180 complete liars.

01:38:49.560 And 10 of

01:38:50.440 them are

01:38:51.020 trying to find

01:38:51.560 a way to

01:38:51.920 steal money

01:38:52.400 from the

01:38:52.760 company.

01:38:54.320 So scale

01:38:55.280 guarantees

01:38:56.340 corruption.

01:38:57.500 It guarantees

01:38:58.160 it.

01:38:59.140 So when

01:38:59.760 people say

01:39:00.240 to me,

01:39:00.640 Scott,

01:39:01.780 why do

01:39:02.460 you think

01:39:02.740 that climate

01:39:03.380 change could

01:39:05.100 be corrupt

01:39:05.840 and maybe

01:39:06.480 lying to you

01:39:07.600 just for

01:39:07.940 money?

01:39:08.220 Why do you

01:39:08.680 think that?

01:39:09.160 And the

01:39:09.400 answer is,

01:39:09.940 I don't

01:39:10.520 have to

01:39:10.840 research it.

01:39:12.360 You don't

01:39:12.920 have to

01:39:13.180 research that.

01:39:14.500 You just

01:39:15.120 say, how

01:39:15.660 big is it?

01:39:16.980 And they'd

01:39:17.440 say, well,

01:39:18.280 it could be

01:39:18.840 a trillion

01:39:19.280 dollars if we

01:39:20.320 did everything

01:39:21.320 we wanted

01:39:21.740 to do.

01:39:22.500 And I would

01:39:23.120 say, how

01:39:24.000 many people

01:39:24.440 are involved?

01:39:24.880 Oh, hundreds

01:39:27.080 of thousands

01:39:27.560 of people.

01:39:29.020 So hundreds

01:39:29.600 of thousands

01:39:30.140 of people

01:39:30.840 and we're

01:39:32.920 basing on

01:39:33.440 models that

01:39:34.140 we can't

01:39:34.580 really validate

01:39:35.480 and money

01:39:37.900 is disappearing.

01:39:40.420 Yeah, that's

01:39:41.320 corrupt.

01:39:43.040 Now, I don't

01:39:43.980 know whether

01:39:44.480 the climate

01:39:45.820 is changing

01:39:46.440 in a dangerous

01:39:47.120 way or not.

01:39:47.840 I don't think

01:39:48.320 so.

01:39:48.920 But I don't

01:39:49.600 know because

01:39:50.700 I'm not a

01:39:51.100 scientist.

01:39:51.400 but I

01:39:52.280 know for

01:39:52.680 sure just

01:39:54.220 the size

01:39:55.040 of the

01:39:55.420 climate,

01:39:57.100 you know,

01:39:57.620 scientific and

01:39:58.840 business part

01:39:59.740 where they're

01:40:00.080 spending money,

01:40:01.060 the size of it

01:40:02.280 guarantees that

01:40:02.940 it's corrupt.

01:40:05.140 And if you

01:40:05.900 can find me

01:40:06.480 an example

01:40:07.020 of anything

01:40:08.240 that's reached

01:40:08.840 that size

01:40:09.660 that's not

01:40:10.780 totally corrupt,

01:40:12.080 I'd love to

01:40:12.940 hear it.

01:40:13.880 Now, I do

01:40:14.620 think there

01:40:15.040 might be some

01:40:15.680 exceptions

01:40:16.160 with some

01:40:18.020 religious

01:40:18.540 organizations.

01:40:19.340 and I

01:40:20.100 know, I

01:40:20.600 know, you're

01:40:21.020 going to

01:40:21.120 say, but

01:40:21.980 the Catholic

01:40:22.820 Church had

01:40:24.460 too many

01:40:25.020 sex crimes.

01:40:27.280 That's probably

01:40:27.940 true.

01:40:28.920 But if you're

01:40:29.760 talking about

01:40:30.080 corruption

01:40:30.580 specifically,

01:40:32.160 you know,

01:40:32.380 stealing, the

01:40:33.740 bad stuff, well,

01:40:35.140 the other stuff's

01:40:35.680 bad too.

01:40:36.440 But if you're

01:40:37.080 talking about

01:40:37.360 stealing, you

01:40:38.060 might find that

01:40:38.760 religious

01:40:39.140 organizations can

01:40:40.200 get big without

01:40:40.840 that.

01:40:41.700 There might be.

01:40:42.380 There might be.

01:40:43.300 So I'm

01:40:43.860 willing to

01:40:44.400 believe there

01:40:47.000 are major

01:40:47.560 religious

01:40:49.280 organizations

01:40:49.980 that are

01:40:50.420 generally

01:40:50.900 okay, but

01:40:52.060 those would

01:40:52.380 be special

01:40:52.860 cases.

01:40:54.040 I think

01:40:54.320 anything that

01:40:54.980 sort of

01:40:55.380 government or

01:40:56.980 business or

01:40:58.720 even activism,

01:41:00.700 which crosses

01:41:01.380 all that,

01:41:02.260 those are all

01:41:03.380 corrupt when

01:41:03.840 they reach a

01:41:04.280 certain level.

01:41:05.520 How about

01:41:05.900 one person

01:41:08.320 who says,

01:41:09.780 hey, I

01:41:10.500 think that

01:41:10.820 looked racist

01:41:11.400 to me.

01:41:12.480 Could they

01:41:13.060 be honest

01:41:13.840 and not

01:41:14.300 corrupt?

01:41:14.940 Yes.

01:41:15.660 Yes.

01:41:15.940 How about

01:41:16.960 several people

01:41:18.280 get together

01:41:18.840 and say,

01:41:19.200 you know,

01:41:19.440 that looked

01:41:19.760 wrong, that

01:41:20.460 looked racist

01:41:21.240 to me.

01:41:22.420 Could they

01:41:22.860 be honest

01:41:23.680 and not

01:41:24.520 corrupt?

01:41:25.300 Could be.

01:41:26.440 Could be.

01:41:27.220 How about

01:41:27.820 if it becomes

01:41:28.500 a national

01:41:29.240 funded

01:41:29.740 organization

01:41:30.540 called Black

01:41:31.780 Lives Matter

01:41:32.500 and there

01:41:33.340 are millions

01:41:33.880 and millions

01:41:34.360 of dollars

01:41:34.840 and hundreds

01:41:36.000 of thousands

01:41:36.500 of people

01:41:36.960 involved

01:41:37.440 directly or

01:41:38.040 indirectly?

01:41:38.860 Could that

01:41:39.300 ever not

01:41:39.940 be corrupt?

01:41:41.260 No.

01:41:41.660 No.

01:41:43.260 It's the

01:41:43.720 scale.

01:41:44.240 As soon

01:41:45.520 as you

01:41:45.760 reach a

01:41:46.100 certain

01:41:46.280 scale,

01:41:46.760 it's all

01:41:47.120 corrupt.

01:41:48.160 Everything

01:41:48.680 all the

01:41:49.120 time.

01:41:49.780 It has

01:41:50.000 nothing to

01:41:50.440 do with

01:41:50.800 black,

01:41:52.580 race,

01:41:53.220 nothing.

01:41:53.680 It's just

01:41:54.000 the size.

01:41:55.100 How about

01:41:55.520 Antifa?

01:41:56.920 If Antifa

01:41:57.860 was that

01:41:58.560 one time

01:41:59.140 100 people

01:41:59.780 got together

01:42:00.340 because they

01:42:00.720 cared about

01:42:01.140 something,

01:42:02.000 could it

01:42:02.340 be that

01:42:02.660 they would

01:42:02.920 be completely

01:42:03.720 honest and

01:42:05.340 ethical?

01:42:06.200 Could be.

01:42:07.340 Could be.

01:42:07.880 Small size.

01:42:08.980 Once it

01:42:09.400 becomes a

01:42:09.940 nationwide

01:42:10.720 movement,

01:42:12.300 no,

01:42:13.540 then it's

01:42:13.880 completely

01:42:14.260 corrupt

01:42:14.700 every time.

01:42:16.580 How about

01:42:17.320 ChatGPT?

01:42:20.240 Open AI?

01:42:21.920 It's just

01:42:22.700 one company

01:42:23.420 and,

01:42:24.940 but the

01:42:26.840 potential and

01:42:27.820 current value

01:42:28.540 are in the

01:42:29.060 hundreds of

01:42:29.520 billions,

01:42:29.940 right?

01:42:30.880 And maybe

01:42:31.400 the future

01:42:31.880 value is in

01:42:32.560 the trillions.

01:42:34.260 And we

01:42:35.620 hear from

01:42:36.120 Marc Andreessen

01:42:36.900 that the CIA

01:42:37.740 has already

01:42:38.260 said,

01:42:38.680 oh,

01:42:38.800 no,

01:42:38.980 we're going

01:42:39.240 to totally

01:42:40.080 rig this

01:42:40.640 entire industry.

01:42:42.300 It's

01:42:42.780 corrupt.

01:42:43.900 It might

01:42:44.500 be corrupt

01:42:44.960 in a way

01:42:45.280 that's good

01:42:45.660 for us,

01:42:46.460 meaning that

01:42:47.100 the CIA

01:42:48.300 is ultimately

01:42:49.120 working on

01:42:50.040 the side

01:42:50.420 of America,

01:42:51.100 I hope,

01:42:52.260 although it's

01:42:53.380 a very large

01:42:54.000 organization,

01:42:54.600 if you know

01:42:55.100 what I mean.

01:42:56.960 Yeah,

01:42:57.440 that's not

01:42:57.860 true.

01:42:58.180 They're not

01:42:58.440 working on

01:42:58.900 necessarily

01:42:59.760 on our

01:43:00.240 side because

01:43:01.020 the CIA

01:43:01.520 allegedly is

01:43:02.760 behind the

01:43:03.380 domestic

01:43:03.860 censorship

01:43:05.160 and some

01:43:07.140 other stuff.

01:43:08.320 So I guess

01:43:09.260 you would

01:43:09.560 throw them

01:43:09.980 in the

01:43:10.320 corrupt

01:43:10.680 area.

01:43:11.320 How about

01:43:11.560 Congress?

01:43:12.300 Real big,

01:43:13.100 lots of

01:43:13.420 money,

01:43:13.680 yeah,

01:43:13.880 corrupt.

01:43:15.100 Give me

01:43:15.660 an exception.

01:43:17.840 Give me

01:43:18.200 an exception.

01:43:19.320 Tell me

01:43:19.660 something that's

01:43:20.220 a big

01:43:20.660 organization,

01:43:21.560 that's not

01:43:22.080 a religious

01:43:22.500 organization,

01:43:23.560 that isn't

01:43:24.820 corrupt.

01:43:26.460 It's tough.

01:43:28.360 So it

01:43:29.740 frustrates me

01:43:30.560 when people

01:43:31.340 say,

01:43:32.000 but you

01:43:32.700 don't know

01:43:33.100 that climate

01:43:33.780 change is

01:43:34.340 a hoax.

01:43:35.460 All I have

01:43:36.180 to say is

01:43:36.600 how big

01:43:36.960 is it?

01:43:38.260 And we're

01:43:38.900 done here.

01:43:39.280 But it

01:43:40.440 could be

01:43:40.780 that climate

01:43:41.660 change is

01:43:42.280 a risk,

01:43:42.740 but it's

01:43:44.560 also full

01:43:45.060 of scammers.

01:43:46.240 So both

01:43:46.600 of those

01:43:46.860 could be

01:43:47.140 true.

01:43:48.900 Anyway,

01:43:49.900 everything big

01:43:50.500 is corrupt.

01:43:51.500 And of

01:43:51.800 course,

01:43:52.080 you'd love

01:43:52.420 to know,

01:43:53.080 according to

01:43:53.600 IHLS,

01:43:54.800 whatever that

01:43:55.200 is,

01:43:55.920 that there's

01:43:56.300 now a new

01:43:56.760 lithium ceramic

01:43:57.620 battery that

01:43:58.480 could be,

01:43:59.920 you guessed

01:44:00.940 it,

01:44:01.460 10 times

01:44:02.240 more capacity

01:44:03.780 and it could

01:44:04.760 have a range

01:44:05.420 of 1,000

01:44:06.060 kilometers and

01:44:07.000 you could

01:44:07.320 recharge it

01:44:08.120 from 5%

01:44:09.540 to 60%

01:44:10.480 in five

01:44:10.920 minutes and

01:44:11.480 it's non-flammable.

01:44:12.580 That's a big

01:44:13.060 deal.

01:44:13.700 They're using

01:44:14.120 different materials

01:44:14.980 primarily to do

01:44:15.800 this.

01:44:16.580 Now,

01:44:16.820 again,

01:44:17.440 I tell you

01:44:18.600 these battery

01:44:19.280 stories not

01:44:20.100 because any

01:44:20.780 one company

01:44:21.440 is going to

01:44:22.840 make a difference

01:44:23.620 or this one

01:44:24.240 study,

01:44:25.020 just so you

01:44:25.860 know how

01:44:26.220 much activity

01:44:27.120 there is

01:44:27.700 there and

01:44:29.180 how much

01:44:29.560 potential.

01:44:30.900 And it'll

01:44:31.600 change everything

01:44:32.280 if our batteries

01:44:33.380 are that much

01:44:33.980 more efficient.

01:44:35.280 Everything

01:44:35.700 changes.

01:44:37.000 And then

01:44:40.200 I'm going

01:44:40.520 to make

01:44:40.800 one product

01:44:42.420 recommendation

01:44:42.960 for you.

01:44:44.360 This is a

01:44:45.100 little out of

01:44:45.540 my mode.

01:44:46.600 I'm not

01:44:47.300 making money

01:44:48.100 from this

01:44:48.500 product.

01:44:49.500 I'm just

01:44:50.120 going to tell

01:44:50.460 you something

01:44:50.840 I tried

01:44:51.260 recently that

01:44:51.880 I really

01:44:52.160 liked.

01:44:53.040 It's the

01:44:53.760 bone

01:44:54.360 conductive

01:44:55.560 earphones.

01:44:59.020 Whoops.

01:44:59.940 Just lost

01:45:00.440 my signal.

01:45:04.340 Okay.

01:45:07.000 Hello.

01:45:20.020 I'm back.

01:45:22.880 Did I

01:45:23.640 say something

01:45:24.660 about any

01:45:25.400 did I say

01:45:27.980 something about

01:45:28.540 anybody who

01:45:29.140 could have

01:45:29.400 turned off

01:45:29.800 my signal?

01:45:31.020 Probably.

01:45:31.580 Probably.

01:45:33.340 But I'm

01:45:33.940 back.

01:45:34.280 Anyway I

01:45:36.240 was going

01:45:36.500 to give

01:45:36.720 you a

01:45:37.060 product

01:45:37.600 recommendation

01:45:38.300 but I

01:45:39.440 promise you

01:45:40.000 I have

01:45:40.340 no connection

01:45:40.920 to the

01:45:41.260 company.

01:45:41.860 I have

01:45:42.020 no way

01:45:42.280 to make

01:45:42.560 money from

01:45:43.000 this.

01:45:43.360 It's just

01:45:43.680 something I

01:45:44.260 like.

01:45:44.920 This bone

01:45:45.440 conduction

01:45:46.180 earpieces.

01:45:49.100 Because they

01:45:49.580 don't go in

01:45:50.260 your ear.

01:45:52.100 It drapes

01:45:52.920 over your

01:45:53.580 ear and it

01:45:54.780 connects behind

01:45:55.400 your head so

01:45:56.240 it stays on

01:45:56.860 really well.

01:45:57.800 It's sort of

01:45:58.240 hanging over

01:45:58.700 your ears but

01:45:59.420 connected in

01:46:00.000 the back.

01:46:00.320 it's little

01:46:03.140 sensors touch

01:46:04.780 your bone in

01:46:06.200 front of your

01:46:06.780 ear.

01:46:07.680 It's not in

01:46:08.540 your ears in

01:46:09.120 front of it.

01:46:10.520 And it

01:46:11.060 sounds like

01:46:11.820 there's a

01:46:12.940 little speaker

01:46:13.520 talking into

01:46:14.180 your ear and

01:46:14.740 it's really

01:46:15.000 good sound.

01:46:16.240 But what it

01:46:16.760 is it's just

01:46:18.060 making your

01:46:18.560 bone vibrate

01:46:19.360 that apparently

01:46:21.440 works.

01:46:22.960 So I had

01:46:24.960 been getting

01:46:25.320 bad ear

01:46:26.100 infections and

01:46:28.380 it probably

01:46:29.200 was my

01:46:29.600 headphones.

01:46:30.160 I found

01:46:30.440 out that's

01:46:30.840 a real

01:46:31.120 thing.

01:46:32.480 And so

01:46:33.800 knowing that

01:46:34.420 there's something

01:46:34.840 that I don't

01:46:35.500 have to put

01:46:35.940 in my ear

01:46:36.780 makes me

01:46:38.500 very happy.

01:46:39.300 They're very

01:46:39.760 light.

01:46:40.900 They don't

01:46:41.380 fall out or

01:46:42.300 ill fit like

01:46:43.220 the earbuds

01:46:43.640 do.

01:46:44.500 And they

01:46:45.140 don't close

01:46:45.660 you off from

01:46:46.180 all the

01:46:46.480 surrounding

01:46:46.920 sounds because

01:46:48.200 your ears are

01:46:49.100 still open.

01:46:50.100 So your

01:46:50.540 regular ears are

01:46:51.620 still available

01:46:52.420 for everything.

01:46:53.640 Highly

01:46:54.080 recommended.

01:46:54.720 I've only used

01:46:55.260 it for a few

01:46:55.760 days but I'm

01:46:56.600 already excited

01:46:57.180 about it.

01:46:58.060 All right.

01:46:58.240 That's all I

01:46:58.700 got for you

01:46:59.200 today.

01:47:00.320 Thanks for

01:47:00.740 joining.

01:47:01.560 I'm going to

01:47:01.900 talk to the

01:47:02.460 locals people

01:47:03.200 privately just

01:47:03.960 for a minute.

01:47:04.680 I've gone on

01:47:05.320 way too long.

01:47:06.360 And then I'll

01:47:07.160 see you tomorrow.

01:47:07.740 Bye for now.
