Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2709 CWSA 01⧸03⧸25

00:00:00.000 Well, let's see if this works better.

00:00:01.380 The first try didn't work.

00:00:03.140 That would mean everybody would be looking for the first try

00:00:05.320 and not finding the real one.

00:00:12.560 There we are.

00:00:16.360 All right, we're good to go.

00:00:18.800 I think some non-locals people will get lost.

00:00:21.280 It might take them a while to find this.

00:00:23.560 But I think everybody will figure it out eventually.

00:00:26.700 There you go.

00:00:27.240 The YouTube people are figuring it out.

00:00:29.420 So, sorry, I had a little technical difficulty there.

00:00:31.880 I had to quit and back in so it means there too.

00:00:36.740 If my engineer is listening, please delete the first try.

00:00:43.900 All right.

00:00:53.340 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:57.500 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it took me a couple of tries to make the technology work.

00:01:03.900 I think it was human error in this case, my human error.

00:01:07.560 But so you'll see there's a wrong one and a right one.

00:01:11.720 If you're listening to this, you're in the right one.

00:01:13.900 Good for you.

00:01:15.280 Good for you.

00:01:16.100 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand

00:01:20.340 with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:01:22.680 all you need is a cup or margarita glass, a tank of chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask,

00:01:26.360 a vessel of any kind.

00:01:27.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:29.080 I like coffee.

00:01:30.920 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,

00:01:34.260 the thing that makes everything better,

00:01:36.900 except my lighting, which is terrible.

00:01:40.200 I sure wish I knew what was causing that.

00:01:42.700 It's kind of a new thing.

00:01:44.160 Anyway, it's called the simultaneous sip, but it happens now.

00:01:47.060 Go.

00:01:47.220 Go.

00:01:50.340 It feels like nothing's working just right this morning.

00:01:57.720 Everything's like off by one.

00:02:01.220 Do you ever have those days when everything's just a little bit off?

00:02:05.300 No major problems.

00:02:07.160 I mean, it's not like a big deal.

00:02:08.740 But everything's a little bit off today.

00:02:11.580 I don't know.

00:02:12.260 Keep an eye on that.

00:02:14.420 Why in the world am I fuzzy?

00:02:15.840 Why suddenly is the video just like, I look like one of those aging TV stars.

00:02:26.620 Have you ever noticed that as a beautiful celebrity will age,

00:02:31.980 they have to fuzz the video more and more until they're just like a blotch?

00:02:37.480 You can't even make out the nose.

00:02:39.160 I think that's what's happening to me.

00:02:42.380 Maybe it's an angle.

00:02:45.580 No.

00:02:46.160 Let me try to see if I can clean the camera.

00:02:48.820 Is there a camera problem?

00:02:54.620 Oh, yeah.

00:02:55.360 Maybe that helped a little.

00:02:56.440 I think that helped.

00:02:57.840 Good.

00:02:58.280 We're ready to go.

00:02:59.540 Finally.

00:03:01.540 Finally.

00:03:01.940 All right.

00:03:03.520 Well, here's some science news, according to Brian Maffley at the University of Utah.

00:03:09.320 A study shows that if you lose urban trees, it disproportionately affects some places.

00:03:19.240 So, apparently, the educational attainment is better where they have more trees.

00:03:25.260 So, where there are poor trees or the trees have died and not been replaced,

00:03:30.080 they don't do as well in school.

00:03:32.420 Hmm.

00:03:33.180 Hmm.

00:03:34.320 Is it the lack of trees that make people do worse in school in the city?

00:03:41.880 Or could it be that the correlation is if everything doesn't work in that city, including education,

00:03:49.820 you also can't keep a tree alive?

00:03:52.920 What are the odds that you're running a first-class school system in a city where you can't keep a tree alive?

00:03:59.460 A tree.

00:04:00.900 Do you know how hard it is to kill a tree?

00:04:03.260 You pretty much can throw an acorn in the ground and walk away.

00:04:06.500 Forty years later, a gray tree?

00:04:08.360 Well, you know, sooner than that.

00:04:11.080 So, yeah, I don't know that this science is getting the order right.

00:04:14.620 I don't know if taking away the trees makes you do poorly in school,

00:04:17.800 or it could be that if you live in a place that can't keep a tree alive,

00:04:21.380 it's not going to do much better with you.

00:04:22.800 Well, it turns out that the Surgeon General wants alcohol to carry warning labels because it's the third leading cause of cancer.

00:04:34.720 I didn't know that.

00:04:36.840 After tobacco and obesity, alcohol is the third leading cause of cancer.

00:04:42.660 So, it turns out that alcohol is poison.

00:04:47.380 Told you.

00:04:49.280 You don't need science.

00:04:51.120 Really, you don't.

00:04:51.800 You just listen to me babbling about stuff.

00:04:53.920 You know, it seems like my babbling is like 80%, like I have an 80% win record of just guessing.

00:05:03.420 Anyway, we're also here, Zero Hedge is saying that parents need to be worried about foreign-made AI toys for kids used as propaganda.

00:05:19.440 That's right.

00:05:20.400 If you have AI built into a child's toy, you better be careful because that child is talking to the AI and you don't know what they're going to say.

00:05:28.880 Apparently, there's a report, according to Zero Hedge, of an AI-powered robot called MECO.

00:05:36.920 So, some father bought it for his two-year-old.

00:05:39.820 And it says that Kamala Harris will be the 47th president and it praises Kamala and Biden.

00:05:47.660 But when asked about Trump, it says nothing positive, according to the libs of TikTok.

00:05:52.860 I guess libs of TikTok noticed this first.

00:05:54.960 Do you remember long ago, not really, like last year, when we thought that AI would be the thing that would teach us what was true and what wasn't true?

00:06:08.540 Do you remember that?

00:06:10.220 We thought that AI would tell us what's true.

00:06:14.260 Nope.

00:06:14.700 It turns out AI is just a better way to lie to us because when AI says something is true, and I've had this experience, I'm really ready to believe it because it talks like a person and why would it lie to me?

00:06:28.880 I mean, it wouldn't lie, would it?

00:06:30.780 So, when AI gives you disinformation, it's really powerful because you think that disinformation is true.

00:06:36.000 So, there is really no possibility that AI could ever be used to tell you the truth because whoever controls it has their preferred idea of what's true.

00:06:50.020 Whoever built this Miko doll probably thought it was a fact that Kamala was awesome and Trump would never become president.

00:06:57.520 So, they programmed it to think that.

00:06:59.500 I doubt that this came up with that on, you know, just from some pattern recognition.

00:07:05.580 I don't think so.

00:07:07.180 Maybe, but I don't think so.

00:07:10.560 Anyway, AI will be the biggest source of misinformation in the world by far.

00:07:17.020 Well, of course, we have to talk more about those two terror attacks recently that happened on the same day on New Year's.

00:07:24.100 It was the New Orleans one and Las Vegas one.

00:07:27.280 And have you noticed that whenever there's something like a terrorist attack, that there's always an alternative explanation for what happened?

00:07:39.580 It's like if you look at 9-11, it's like, well, Osama bin Laden ran a plot and it became 9-11.

00:07:46.240 But then, you know, there's always the group that think it's, you know, the government did it itself or some other government did it for their own purposes.

00:07:55.240 There's no such thing as a terror attack where we don't immediately suspect our own government is behind it.

00:08:01.580 Which, which on one hand, you might say, well, that's the worst possible situation.

00:08:08.960 On the other hand, you could say, it's a good thing we don't trust everything.

00:08:14.540 Like, it's really healthy just to not trust anything.

00:08:17.380 Like, anything that happens, I think, I wonder if my government caused that.

00:08:21.740 It doesn't even matter.

00:08:22.500 If I fell off my own bicycle, the first thing I'd do is look behind me and see if Congress is there.

00:08:28.840 You, oh, oh, maybe it wasn't the government this time.

00:08:33.800 It's just automatic.

00:08:35.020 We just assume the government's behind everything.

00:08:37.560 So that's part of the New Orleans story.

00:08:39.740 But here are the things that are notable about the story that's newish.

00:08:44.040 It does seem that, at least on the political right, there seems to be a settling in on the narrative that DEI is the main problem.

00:08:55.200 Now, did you imagine that that would ever happen?

00:08:58.760 That people just casually talk about it like it's a fact.

00:09:03.060 Oh, it looks like DEI is the base problem here.

00:09:06.240 Because if we didn't have DEI, you know, we would have blocked off the streets.

00:09:11.820 Right?

00:09:12.260 If we didn't have DEI, we would have caught this guy early.

00:09:17.080 Now, I don't know if any of that's true.

00:09:19.940 So let me be very careful when I say this.

00:09:22.220 I don't know that any specific situation, and I don't think there's any way to know.

00:09:27.040 You don't know that any specific situation is a DEI problem.

00:09:31.700 But it is 100% fair to surface it as your top suspect.

00:09:37.600 Because at this point in history, DEI has crippled or ruined just about every large organization.

00:09:45.220 And again, it has nothing to do with anybody's genes or their culture.

00:09:51.080 It has only to do with constraining your hiring choices so that you don't have an option of just looking for the best person.

00:09:57.580 Now, in theory, you're getting the best person, but also diversity.

00:10:01.360 In reality, if you're getting measured for diversity, you're going to get diversity one way or another.

00:10:07.780 So in the real world, it just means don't hire white guys. 0.69

00:10:11.100 That's literally all it means.

00:10:13.420 So, of course, people are looking at this as a DEI story, even though we don't know if it is, but it is the right question to ask.

00:10:23.740 So here are some of the things we know.

00:10:28.020 And by the way, on the DEI thing, this is the price of DEI.

00:10:32.800 And if the proponents of DEI did not know that the perfectly predictable outcome of succeeding and getting a lot of DEI candidates in office or getting hired,

00:10:46.280 if you didn't know that was going to cause a massive backlash against everybody who gets a job under that context, how did you not know that?

00:10:56.080 The price of DEI is that for an entire generation, if you're black and you're capable and you just do a really good job and you get promoted on all of your merits,

00:11:07.560 you will be widely assumed to not be capable.

00:11:12.060 Now, I didn't make that system.

00:11:13.900 If I'd made the system, this wouldn't happen.

00:11:16.420 So don't blame the people who are simply responding to the system you built.

00:11:20.320 They're the messengers.

00:11:21.040 If they tell you, hmm, looks like we have to suspect DEI in this situation, they didn't make that up.

00:11:27.880 That's not an opinion.

00:11:29.160 It's a clear just observation.

00:11:31.280 It's an observation that you have to include that variable when you're looking at any complex situation in America.

00:11:39.860 Don't blame the messenger.

00:11:42.680 All right.

00:11:43.300 So apparently the Airbnb that we think was the New Orleans connected to the New Orleans attacker was on fire.

00:11:54.260 Was it?

00:11:56.660 I'm not even sure if anything that was reported early on is true.

00:12:00.480 But there was so much fog of war, false reporting that I don't really even know what's true at this point.

00:12:06.800 But so apparently the New Orleans BNP had bomb-making materials in it.

00:12:15.080 I didn't see any signs of fire, so I don't understand what part of this is true and what's not.

00:12:20.080 And also, by the way, I should tell you that the odds of me confusing these two headline stories is nearly 100%.

00:12:27.780 I'm already having a tough time figuring out, wait, which one was the Las Vegas guy?

00:12:33.820 And which one was the New Orleans guy?

00:12:35.440 Is anybody having that problem?

00:12:37.740 It's like, wait, one was a Cybertruck.

00:12:40.420 The other was an electric Ford truck.

00:12:43.720 All right.

00:12:43.900 So if I get some of the details wrong, just know what's coming.

00:12:51.440 So here are the things we know.

00:12:53.140 On the New Orleans one, a reporter was allowed in to give a tour of what looks like essentially part of the crime scene

00:13:03.200 and conveniently laid out in the New Orleans terrorist home is the open Koran, coincidentally,

00:13:15.720 and work tables where he's making all kinds of bombs and stuff.

00:13:20.720 Now, it definitely looks like, 100% looks like somebody who is a terrorist lives there.

00:13:28.060 Do people make their apartment look exactly like a terrorist live there?

00:13:35.140 Maybe.

00:13:36.960 You know, maybe.

00:13:37.500 So I guess we'll figure out what that is.

00:13:42.620 Now, part of the issue is that Trump said that the open borders are causing more crime and terrorism.

00:13:51.620 Now, you already know that the New Orleans terrorist was American-born.

00:14:00.160 Now, he had an Islamic name and, you know, he was obviously in that life.

00:14:04.500 But he's American-born.

00:14:05.760 He was in the American military.

00:14:08.180 So is Trump right or wrong when he uses that situation, which was an American-born guy,

00:14:14.860 when he uses that as an example of open borders being a problem?

00:14:17.760 Well, the answer is yes, because it's a reasonable assumption that since he was living among a lot of recent immigrants

00:14:28.880 within the same cultural situation, does it seem likely that he was living with somebody who came more recently

00:14:40.280 who was either encouraging or radicalizing him?

00:14:44.040 We don't know the answer to that.

00:14:46.900 But like the DEI case, it's the first question you should ask.

00:14:51.360 The first question.

00:14:53.260 So it feels to me like if the guy is American-born, but he was living among recent immigrants who brought a different culture

00:15:02.020 and some of it may have radicalized him, I think Trump's on point.

00:15:06.620 Now, again, we don't know if he's technically right on this specific case.

00:15:11.320 But this is the kind of hyperbole I don't mind at all, because it's so obviously directionally correct.

00:15:18.120 It doesn't really matter to me too much that he was born in America if he lived among people who weren't,

00:15:25.300 and that culture is presumed to have had some impact on him.

00:15:29.580 I don't know.

00:15:30.740 I don't know.

00:15:31.540 Could you become that dedicated if all of your friends or where you lived didn't have any of those views?

00:15:37.480 It seems possible, but it seems less likely.

00:15:42.300 So, all right.

00:15:43.420 So what else?

00:15:46.060 We'll talk about the coincidences in a minute.

00:15:49.180 But the funniest thing was the Cybertruck guy.

00:15:53.440 Now, it may not be funny, because I think there's a real possibility that the so-called terrorist in the Cybertruck

00:16:01.240 may have been actually a victim.

00:16:04.040 So there's certainly as many indications that he didn't do it as there are that he did it,

00:16:10.840 even though he was the one, his body was the one found in the car.

00:16:14.560 So here's what we know.

00:16:16.780 Apparently, we know the path that the Cybertruck took from Denver to Las Vegas,

00:16:23.480 but it did not take the direct route.

00:16:27.160 It took a very indirect route.

00:16:29.660 Do you know why?

00:16:30.380 His first stop was in Las Vegas, New Mexico.

00:16:36.460 It looks like, can't be sure, but it looks like when he took off, he said,

00:16:43.280 hey, Cybertruck, take me to Las Vegas.

00:16:49.560 And it took him to the closest one.

00:16:52.220 Apparently, there are two places called Las Vegas in the United States.

00:16:55.660 One is in New Mexico.

00:16:56.760 I didn't know that.

00:16:57.360 So it looks like he drove to a completely wrong state.

00:17:02.400 And then when he got out of his truck, he was looking around.

00:17:04.860 He's like, I don't see any casinos.

00:17:08.660 Something pissing.

00:17:09.920 And then he realized he was in the wrong state.

00:17:12.220 And then he drove directly to Las Vegas, the real one.

00:17:15.200 Now, who doesn't notice they're driving to the wrong state?

00:17:21.680 Well, maybe I wouldn't.

00:17:23.620 I have to admit, if you said you're going to go from Denver to Las Vegas and took me through New Mexico,

00:17:30.380 I wouldn't maybe be alerted to it right away because I'm so smart.

00:17:37.140 I might be reading a book and letting the car drive or the truck.

00:17:41.060 If he had it on full self-driving, he probably wasn't even paying attention.

00:17:45.820 He might have been just doing his own thing and the truck was driving itself.

00:17:49.360 Don't know.

00:17:51.140 So here are the things that are strange about this to make us think maybe it wasn't really him who was in the car.

00:17:59.480 His burned up body was found.

00:18:01.080 One thing is that he was in the military and people say he definitely knew how to make a proper bomb.

00:18:08.100 And this was the least capable bomb making you could imagine.

00:18:12.280 So why would a person who could make the best bomb show up to actually risk his life with the worst bomb?

00:18:21.960 How do you explain that?

00:18:23.580 Well, the best explanation would be it wasn't him.

00:18:25.640 Now, he also had a bullet in his head in the truck that blew up with the blombs. 0.98

00:18:35.280 Did he shoot himself in the head after he lit a fuse of some kind?

00:18:40.860 So therefore, he wouldn't know for sure if it even blew up.

00:18:44.620 It would make sense because he wouldn't want to die in a different way or makes you wouldn't want to take a chance that he didn't die.

00:18:51.280 I suppose that would be a reason.

00:18:52.880 But have we seen a lot of American military people who do a terrorist act and shoot themselves?

00:19:03.160 It seems like they either go there to die as somebody else's hand or they try to get away.

00:19:10.740 I've never heard of anybody shooting themselves.

00:19:13.520 I mean, if he wanted to cause trouble, wouldn't he blow up the truck but leave it a minute before it blew up and use his handgun to kill random other people like a proper terrorist?

00:19:28.420 You know, like the guy in the Ford truck did.

00:19:31.260 So none of this makes sense.

00:19:32.760 And people are asking, oh, and he's also reportedly a Trump supporter.

00:19:39.460 So that wouldn't make sense that he blew up a cyber truck in front of there.

00:19:46.660 I think he had some kind of a breakup not long before that.

00:19:50.620 But I don't know if that's relevant.

00:19:53.100 I mean, a breakup would make you do crazy things.

00:19:58.140 But this?

00:19:59.700 Like, why would he attack the person he supports by parking in front of that hotel?

00:20:05.740 Now, I heard somebody say that he might be opposed to gambling.

00:20:12.700 Here's a little insider knowledge.

00:20:16.840 The Trump building in Las Vegas is one of the only hotels that doesn't have gambling, which is rare.

00:20:23.720 There's no gambling in that hotel.

00:20:25.700 I don't think the gambling had anything to do with anything.

00:20:28.940 But weirdly, it's the one that doesn't have gambling.

00:20:34.240 And nobody heard the shot.

00:20:36.400 So there's reporting that witnesses who were around the truck before it blew up, they didn't seem to hear a shot.

00:20:43.560 And I asked if the truck was so good at noise cancellation that maybe you wouldn't hear it from the outside.

00:20:49.800 And smart people said, yeah, you would hear it from the sidewalk pretty easily.

00:20:55.440 So it doesn't look like the shot may have happened when people were nearby.

00:21:00.440 Or at least people were near enough to hear it and didn't die in the explosion, I guess.

00:21:04.240 So that's weird.

00:21:08.640 So people are speculating that what really happened was somebody who has a problem with both Musk and Trump, which doesn't appear to be this guy.

00:21:17.000 And somebody who was bad at bomb building, which doesn't appear to be this guy.

00:21:22.360 And somebody who had a...

00:21:26.000 Well, it also doesn't...

00:21:26.920 There's no indication that he was suicidal.

00:21:29.860 Nobody's talking about that.

00:21:31.060 So here are the coincidences.

00:21:35.680 So anyway, the bottom line is a lot of people suspected that there's something about the self-driving car that may have taken his dead body and turned his dead body into some kind of a directed bomb.

00:21:53.000 Now, how could you do that?

00:21:57.280 One way you could do it is if he was already dead and then you did the...

00:22:02.880 And you had the key, then you could summon it as though you're summoning a parked car.

00:22:08.920 Couldn't you?

00:22:10.480 Or would that not work if you're on a city street?

00:22:14.060 It would work in a parking lot.

00:22:15.400 I don't know if the Tesla will allow you to do that if it means that the car is going to be on a public street without a driver.

00:22:22.940 I think not.

00:22:24.620 My guess is it'll work in a parking lot, but Tesla knows when it's on a real road.

00:22:29.560 So I don't think he could just summon it the way you would summon your parked car in a parking lot.

00:22:35.380 I don't think so.

00:22:36.560 But it was also self-driving.

00:22:41.220 So suppose the bad guy killed the other guy, just kept him in the passenger seat, and then set it to self-drive.

00:22:53.100 But it won't self-drive unless a passenger touches the steering wheel occasionally, right?

00:23:01.280 Could you kill him and tape his hand to the steering wheel?

00:23:04.940 Or could you just tie his hand to the steering wheel?

00:23:10.360 Or could you just drape it on the bottom of the steering wheel while he's dead so that he's just a dead man with a hand that just happens to touch the steering wheel?

00:23:20.200 Would the Tesla know he's dead?

00:23:23.640 Or would the Tesla say, seems like a human hand on the steering wheel to me, and just drive him right to the hotel?

00:23:30.020 So it could be that if you wanted to use a self-driving car as a car bomb that you could send to a destination and blow up, the one and only way you could do it is to shoot the driver, drape them over the steering wheel, and then send it.

00:23:47.900 So it could be it's simply the only way you could send a self-driving car to do something is kill the driver and have him not know he's doing it because he's dead.

00:23:58.900 Now, it seems to me that's too clever.

00:24:03.340 It fits into the category of that's a little too good.

00:24:07.060 You don't expect your general terrorists to come up with that clever an idea.

00:24:14.300 And if your idea was that clever, you were so good that you could do that, would you put crappy explosives in a cyber truck?

00:24:24.060 Like, at the very least, you'd use a regular Tesla car so it'd have a chance of blowing up better.

00:24:31.120 So none of this really fits.

00:24:33.320 But there's also the coincidence part.

00:24:35.220 Number one coincidence that January 1st was where two things happened at the same time.

00:24:41.540 So people say it must be connected.

00:24:43.780 Now, let me ask you this question.

00:24:46.340 If you plan to make a 2025 attack and you had waited for 2025, and there is some evidence that at least Al-Qaeda wanted things to happen in 2025,

00:24:57.120 and you were an independent cell, terror cell, and you got to pick your own date,

00:25:02.760 they just said, well, do it early, like, do it early so we can really set the tone.

00:25:08.720 If you wanted to do an early 2025 attack, what date would you pick?

00:25:15.700 Well, if it's me and it's winter, you're not going to have big outdoor crowds very often, right?

00:25:23.240 It would be rare to have a big outdoor crowd in the winter.

00:25:29.020 But January 1st is the one time you can guarantee it.

00:25:32.860 So if you said, do an attack sometime early in the year, I would say, hmm, early in the year?

00:25:41.120 Well, the only time I'm sure there'll be big crowds, and the biggest crowds would be January 1st.

00:25:46.320 So is it really a coincidence that two people picked January 1st?

00:25:52.720 I would say not much of one.

00:25:54.640 It's not much of a coincidence.

00:25:56.440 And it will look like less of a coincidence if, as Sarah Adams, the ex-CIA person says,

00:26:03.960 there's going to be a wave of these, and it's just going to happen all year.

00:26:07.940 If it's going to happen all year, then January 1st is not a coincidence.

00:26:14.200 It's just the obvious time that you would do this sort of thing, and it will be one of many.

00:26:19.640 And then the coincidence will just disappear because we'll say, oh, it's not like there were only two attacks this year

00:26:25.400 and they happened on the same date.

00:26:26.660 That would be too coincidental.

00:26:28.500 But if there are lots of attacks, yeah, January 1st would be exactly the date you'd expect two of them.

00:26:34.780 Let me give you another date you would expect two of them. 0.63

00:26:38.660 July 4th, right?

00:26:41.240 July 4th, there will be big crowds.

00:26:43.460 There will be American patriotic crowds.

00:26:46.220 If you're a terrorist, you'd pick a time when you know you can get the big crowds,

00:26:50.860 and it would have a little extra meaning because it's about America.

00:26:54.600 How about the anniversary of 9-11?

00:26:56.840 Do you think there's more likely going to be two attacks on 9-11 than on any other day?

00:27:03.960 Probably, right?

00:27:05.420 So January 1st is a meaningful day.

00:27:08.480 It's not a random day.

00:27:10.300 If it were a random day, like February 20th, that would be random.

00:27:17.080 Then it's a big coincidence.

00:27:20.080 But it's the most non-random day you could possibly pick.

00:27:23.580 If you wanted 2025 to be full of terror, you'd pick the first day.

00:27:29.040 Because here's what it felt like to me.

00:27:31.320 Because al-Qaeda is good in the psychology part. 0.98

00:27:34.320 Here's what it felt like.

00:27:36.860 The whole year is going to be like this.

00:27:38.800 Because it happened on January 1st.

00:27:42.540 If it happened on December 20th, I wouldn't automatically think, oh no, 2025 is going to be full of it.

00:27:52.900 Because I'd be like, well, I mean, it happens anytime.

00:27:55.340 But the very fact that it happened on the first day takes your brain and says, 2025, terror.

00:28:03.140 2025, terror.

00:28:04.760 And it's locked in.

00:28:07.280 So by doing it on the first day, you get the extra bang for the buck, which is it makes people think there's more coming and the year is going to be full of it.

00:28:14.440 Maybe it will.

00:28:17.320 Maybe it won't.

00:28:19.320 But I certainly feel like it.

00:28:21.680 And terrorism is about how it makes you feel.

00:28:24.400 And how I feel is, oh my God, there's a lot coming.

00:28:27.740 Because they did it on the first.

00:28:30.360 So not random at all.

00:28:32.780 And I would not consider that date too meaningful in the larger explanation of why there were two of them at the same time.

00:28:41.360 Apparently the two terrorists came from the same military base.

00:28:49.280 All these smart people who were in the military say that's not a real coincidence.

00:28:54.420 Because something like one in three people go through that base at some point.

00:28:58.320 It's like a huge number of people in the military spend some time in that same place.

00:29:05.240 So that coincidence is not really a coincidence.

00:29:08.680 The larger coincidence, I guess, is that they're both American military people.

00:29:13.880 Now, if you knew that you were, let's say you're the Al-Qaeda organizers.

00:29:19.500 If you knew that you had one born in America person, which will be scarier to us, right? 1.00

00:29:26.900 Because we can't catch them as easily if they're American citizens.

00:29:29.840 So it's scarier if it's an American citizen. 0.96

00:29:33.200 And then it's scarier again if it's somebody who was in the military.

00:29:37.420 So that would be the ultimate Al-Qaeda plan is to make us not only afraid, but to distrust our own military. 0.80

00:29:46.840 That's like a double win.

00:29:48.140 But suppose they only had one.

00:29:51.880 Suppose they'd been trying hard, Al-Qaeda, and they could only get one actual American citizen to do something like this.

00:29:58.200 And they said to themselves, if we could get two, if we could get two, that's going to tell a different story.

00:30:07.580 Because then it's going to look like the entire military has been flipped.

00:30:11.520 Because our brains will treat two as a completely different story than one.

00:30:16.320 And if we put them on the same day, now this would argue that it's not a coincidence, but we'll see.

00:30:23.460 If they happen on the same day, and they're both U.S.-born military, how do you get that out of your mind?

00:30:31.700 Right?

00:30:32.640 So that would be sort of a perfect psychological operation.

00:30:35.840 But suppose they only legitimately flipped one person, the New Orleans person.

00:30:41.240 How could they get that second one?

00:30:44.200 Well, they might have to fake it.

00:30:45.680 They might have to murder a military guy.

00:30:51.040 Imagine if they had scammed him the following way.

00:30:54.720 Hey, whatever his name is.

00:30:58.300 If you meet me in Las Vegas, I've got a great job offer.

00:31:04.220 Or if you meet me in Las Vegas, I've got that money I owed you or something.

00:31:10.280 There must be some way you could fool somebody into going to Las Vegas.

00:31:14.780 Once he shows up, you put a bullet in his head, drape his arms over the steering wheel, put a bunch of fireworks in the back because you don't care how good the bomb is.

00:31:26.020 It just has to look like it's a bombish.

00:31:27.520 And then you just send it to Trump Tower because where else are you going to send it?

00:31:31.920 If you were in Las Vegas, where else would you send it?

00:31:35.760 Pick the other place that would make more sense.

00:31:38.620 There isn't.

00:31:39.540 Trump Tower.

00:31:40.960 Yeah.

00:31:41.080 So that makes sense.

00:31:44.240 So one possibility is that they only could get one organically.

00:31:47.380 So they fake the second one.

00:31:49.200 So it looks like the American military is turning.

00:31:52.580 Can't rule it out.

00:31:56.360 Then the other coincidence is that they both use this app called Turo to rent their vehicles.

00:32:03.080 Now, is that a coincidence?

00:32:06.400 The answer is maybe.

00:32:10.700 As Tyrus pointed out on the five, and I pointed out in my show yesterday, Turo is, and Tyrus kind of confirmed this,

00:32:21.240 it's sort of the preferred car rental app of the people who might run into problems using a regular rental company

00:32:29.760 or wanted to improve the possibility that they wouldn't raise any red flags by getting a car.

00:32:38.140 Now, I don't know this to be true, but if the FBI is trying to catch terrorists,

00:32:44.620 and terrorists are likely the ones who would rent, let's say, a panel truck and fill it full of bombs,

00:32:49.320 don't you think that by now the Homeland Security has a backdoor into all of the rental companies?

00:32:57.600 So if they see somebody renting a truck and they see an Islamic last name,

00:33:04.680 you don't think the FBI gets a bing, bing, bing, bing?

00:33:08.140 I assume they would.

00:33:10.300 The reason I assume that is because I assume Homeland Security can get into every system

00:33:15.620 that is relevant to what they're trying to do, protect the country.

00:33:19.920 What would be more relevant than knowing somebody with an Islamic last name

00:33:24.540 and military service had rented a truck?

00:33:30.300 That would be right on the top of your bing, bing, bing.

00:33:34.040 Now, I'm assuming that there are plenty of Muslim citizens of the United States who rent trucks, 1.00

00:33:39.180 because everybody rents trucks.

00:33:41.740 So it's not like it's usually going to be a terrorist.

00:33:45.600 It's usually just going to be a citizen who needs a truck.

00:33:48.960 But far more likely, an Islamic last name plus a rented truck 0.99

00:33:55.260 is going to be a little more trouble than some other name in a rented truck.

00:34:00.960 Now, of course, that's racial profiling.

00:34:04.000 But don't you assume that that's what the government is doing because they need to?

00:34:08.240 Of course they are.

00:34:09.460 They're looking for patterns.

00:34:11.640 They don't care about your racial profiling.

00:34:13.700 They're just trying to stop you from blowing up the country.

00:34:17.780 So Turo might be just the first choice of people who don't have good credit

00:34:23.820 and don't want you to check on what's going on.

00:34:26.420 Maybe.

00:34:27.400 Maybe.

00:34:27.940 I don't know.

00:34:31.200 So that's on that.

00:34:32.380 Well, you see the fog of war about that story,

00:34:36.240 that everything about it seemed to be out of kilter a little bit.

00:34:43.460 All right.

00:34:44.060 On the other biggest scandal, you know, I'm talking about it,

00:34:48.640 but I've got a lot of other people talking about it.

00:34:50.500 I didn't realize how bad the Amazon counterfeit product scandal was.

00:34:55.120 But it turns out it's actually a homeland security problem

00:34:58.180 because somewhat accidentally, Amazon turned into a way for China

00:35:03.540 to destroy all American small businesses that sell things online.

00:35:09.980 All of them.

00:35:10.780 Now, I knew that my products were getting counterfeited often

00:35:15.660 because when I'd put a book up on Amazon,

00:35:18.820 it would immediately be copied by AI or whatever,

00:35:22.240 and it would be all these fake ones under my name.

00:35:25.240 My name would be on the fakes.

00:35:27.600 Now, if I tried to get rid of it,

00:35:29.660 now you're going to say to yourself,

00:35:31.340 but Scott, I looked into this,

00:35:34.320 and there's just a page you go to,

00:35:35.940 and you put in your information,

00:35:37.860 and then you could have Amazon remove it.

00:35:40.460 Do you think that's real?

00:35:42.280 Do you think I can just go to a page and they'll remove it?

00:35:45.700 Nope.

00:35:46.540 I have to prove that it's counterfeit.

00:35:49.280 Do you know how the only way that they'll let me do that?

00:35:51.940 I have to buy it.

00:35:53.740 I have to buy the counterfeit.

00:35:55.940 I have to wait for a week or two weeks or however long it comes,

00:35:59.660 and then I have to take pictures of it

00:36:01.500 and then upload the pictures

00:36:02.800 and upload the picture of my book

00:36:04.880 so that I can show that it's the same as my book on the inside.

00:36:10.000 That's their process.

00:36:12.460 Do you believe that they meant that process to solve the problem?

00:36:16.560 No.

00:36:17.540 Amazon is the best user interface people in the world.

00:36:23.080 Do you think that it would build

00:36:24.460 a completely unworkable system by accident?

00:36:27.700 No.

00:36:28.080 No.

00:36:30.220 There's no part of me that thinks that's an accident

00:36:32.400 because it's the simplest problem they solve routinely.

00:36:36.620 Amazon is by far, except for Apple maybe,

00:36:41.300 maybe better than Apple.

00:36:42.760 Amazon is the best user interface I think I've ever seen.

00:36:47.360 And the reason that you don't think of it

00:36:49.260 as being the best interface you've ever seen

00:36:51.600 is because it's the best interface you've ever seen.

00:36:54.320 If you use Amazon and not once do you think,

00:36:58.080 oh, where's that button or why does it do that?

00:37:00.960 It's the best interface you've ever seen

00:37:02.860 because the level of complexity of what they do

00:37:05.900 is completely hidden from the user.

00:37:09.120 We just know what we want and there it is

00:37:10.900 and then we click on it.

00:37:11.740 So, it defies imagination

00:37:17.100 that their system for correcting counterfeits,

00:37:20.980 which they profit immensely from, I'm told, immensely,

00:37:26.760 my imagination can't imagine that's an accident.

00:37:30.880 Now, not all products require you to buy the product,

00:37:35.320 but mine do.

00:37:36.020 So, right now, every calendar,

00:37:39.140 every Dilbert 2025 calendar on Amazon is a counterfeit.

00:37:43.740 Let me say that again.

00:37:45.700 A hundred percent,

00:37:47.440 a hundred percent of all the Dilbert calendars this year

00:37:50.020 on Amazon are counterfeits.

00:37:53.320 All of them.

00:37:54.400 Because I don't sell it on Amazon.

00:37:56.280 I'm only selling it on a private site.

00:37:59.260 If you want to look for it,

00:38:00.680 go to Dilbert.com and you'll see the link at the top.

00:38:02.960 But, every one of them.

00:38:07.700 So, here's what I did.

00:38:09.460 I, of course, complained on Axe.

00:38:13.640 It doesn't take long for Amazon to notice

00:38:16.000 when a big account complains

00:38:17.400 because they have,

00:38:18.680 the big companies have a,

00:38:20.400 they're watching social media

00:38:21.740 and they jump right on any complaint

00:38:23.560 so that the rest of the public doesn't see it.

00:38:25.860 So, they jumped right on the complaint,

00:38:27.620 which is what they're supposed to do.

00:38:28.840 And they said,

00:38:30.460 hey, DM us

00:38:31.820 and we'll see if we can help you.

00:38:35.020 So, I said to myself,

00:38:36.260 whoa, great.

00:38:37.740 I can just talk directly to somebody,

00:38:40.360 tell them what the problem is,

00:38:41.400 maybe they fix it.

00:38:43.200 So, they say,

00:38:44.140 yeah, we'll help you.

00:38:45.760 Go to this form and fill it out.

00:38:48.500 Now, as soon as I hear that,

00:38:50.040 I know I'm not going to get helped.

00:38:52.120 So, I say,

00:38:53.040 are you AI?

00:38:54.820 And it responded with exactly

00:38:56.380 what it said before.

00:38:57.980 Go to this form and fill it out.

00:38:59.480 We can help you.

00:39:00.740 Then I said,

00:39:01.560 I'm done with this process

00:39:03.580 because it doesn't work.

00:39:05.100 I want to talk to your legal team.

00:39:07.680 And they said,

00:39:08.600 fill out this form

00:39:09.420 with exactly the same words.

00:39:12.060 And I said,

00:39:12.860 I can't tell if you're AI.

00:39:15.060 And then it said,

00:39:15.880 oh, I'm not AI.

00:39:17.340 I'm a human.

00:39:18.520 But it acted like AI.

00:39:19.860 And then I say to myself,

00:39:21.660 is it part AI and part human?

00:39:24.100 Maybe the human checks in once in a while.

00:39:26.620 But the AI does the main work.

00:39:28.940 Or was it AI

00:39:30.160 and is taught to say that it's human?

00:39:32.580 Well, let's just say

00:39:33.520 that it couldn't help me at all.

00:39:36.280 So, and I wasn't going to go

00:39:37.460 to the form and fill it out.

00:39:39.120 So, I just said,

00:39:39.780 here's my information.

00:39:41.120 Every one of the Dilbert calendars is fake.

00:39:43.220 What else do you need?

00:39:44.840 What else do you need?

00:39:45.960 I just told them everything they need.

00:39:47.720 My phone number,

00:39:48.560 my name as the author,

00:39:50.960 which is easy for them to check.

00:39:53.540 And that 100% of the Dilbert calendars are fake.

00:39:57.460 And then I said,

00:39:58.420 why don't you give this to your legal team?

00:40:00.560 I asked for their legal team

00:40:02.320 because it's a legal issue.

00:40:04.320 To me,

00:40:04.700 it's not a customer service problem.

00:40:08.620 It's a legal issue.

00:40:09.780 All right.

00:40:14.400 So,

00:40:15.040 so basically,

00:40:16.960 then they said,

00:40:18.060 fill out this form

00:40:18.920 or we can't show it to our legal people.

00:40:21.880 I'm like, really?

00:40:23.580 You can't tell them

00:40:24.920 that one of your most notable authors

00:40:27.140 just told you 100% of the calendars are fake?

00:40:29.800 And you can't deal with that.

00:40:31.220 Like your system can't accept

00:40:32.860 everything that you need to know.

00:40:36.400 There's nothing else you need to know.

00:40:38.940 Now,

00:40:40.060 suppose I said,

00:40:41.500 is there any way

00:40:42.140 that this could have been a better system?

00:40:44.460 Well,

00:40:44.920 let me design one right now.

00:40:46.940 When you become a seller

00:40:48.400 on Amazon,

00:40:50.060 the first time you're signing up

00:40:51.480 to be a seller,

00:40:52.460 you have to prove who you are,

00:40:54.520 which makes perfect sense.

00:40:56.960 So the first time

00:40:58.020 that you prove who you are,

00:41:00.520 wouldn't it be good

00:41:01.280 if you got like a secret 10 digit code

00:41:04.060 so that when you publish something else

00:41:07.360 under your same publishing name,

00:41:09.960 it's got that code on it.

00:41:11.660 They go,

00:41:11.940 oh, that's real.

00:41:13.020 Only that one person

00:41:14.260 would have that code.

00:41:15.760 And then everybody

00:41:16.340 who tries to knock it off

00:41:17.640 would be able to perfectly

00:41:19.440 knock off the product,

00:41:20.940 but they wouldn't know my magic code,

00:41:23.260 so they wouldn't be able to post it.

00:41:24.940 How hard would it be to do that?

00:41:26.780 And then if somebody steals my code,

00:41:28.300 I tell them

00:41:28.720 and they give me a new code.

00:41:30.600 It looks like it's moronically easy to fix.

00:41:34.160 Now, so I posted about this

00:41:35.540 and I thought it might be

00:41:36.480 something limited to books

00:41:37.760 and calendars

00:41:38.380 and printed material.

00:41:39.960 Oh, no.

00:41:41.280 It turns out that Amazon,

00:41:43.680 working with China,

00:41:45.940 is a way to destroy

00:41:47.120 all American small business.

00:41:49.360 Because as soon as

00:41:50.420 any small business

00:41:51.920 that's selling on Amazon,

00:41:53.920 as soon as they get some

00:41:55.340 good sales,

00:41:57.800 it's noticed.

00:41:59.420 And one of two things happen.

00:42:01.720 Either Amazon itself

00:42:03.240 builds a generic

00:42:04.760 and sells it instead of yours,

00:42:06.480 which puts you on a business,

00:42:08.220 or China or India

00:42:10.660 look at it and say,

00:42:12.300 it looks like they're selling

00:42:13.060 a lot of these widgets.

00:42:14.380 Let's make a fake one

00:42:15.580 and they'll have way more fake ones

00:42:17.940 that are on the account

00:42:18.760 than the real ones,

00:42:19.500 so you won't know what's real.

00:42:22.000 But it's better.

00:42:24.500 Then the fakers

00:42:25.540 will also buy the real one

00:42:27.780 and return it multiple times.

00:42:31.240 They'll also give bad reviews

00:42:32.900 to the real one.

00:42:34.600 So the real one

00:42:35.540 gets the bad reviews.

00:42:36.860 They're dealing with

00:42:37.860 purchase and returns

00:42:39.000 that were always meant

00:42:39.800 to be returns

00:42:40.420 that were never meant

00:42:41.080 to be purchased.

00:42:41.820 It's just to put them

00:42:42.460 out of business.

00:42:43.340 And then they'll flood the zone

00:42:44.700 with their knockoff product,

00:42:46.760 which is sometimes okay

00:42:48.080 and sometimes not.

00:42:49.600 Now,

00:42:50.520 here's what you need to know.

00:42:52.460 That happens 100% of the time.

00:42:54.240 100% of the time.

00:42:57.640 It doesn't happen

00:42:58.480 with every product

00:42:59.540 because not every product

00:43:00.960 has sales.

00:43:02.320 There are a lot of small products

00:43:03.680 that you wouldn't bother

00:43:04.480 knocking off.

00:43:05.660 But 100% of the things

00:43:07.960 that sell well

00:43:09.780 are stolen from the person

00:43:11.980 who invented it

00:43:12.920 and made the business.

00:43:14.840 100%.

00:43:15.360 So either Amazon

00:43:16.880 steals it themselves

00:43:17.960 and makes it a generic,

00:43:19.880 or they allow

00:43:22.240 other companies

00:43:23.100 to steal it

00:43:24.220 right in front of you

00:43:24.920 and then they carry it.

00:43:27.240 Now,

00:43:27.500 the question I would ask is,

00:43:29.600 isn't that deeply illegal

00:43:31.320 if you know you're doing it

00:43:32.640 and it wouldn't be

00:43:33.740 that hard to stop?

00:43:35.700 It feels like

00:43:36.560 it's deeply illegal.

00:43:40.940 Now,

00:43:41.440 you might say to yourself,

00:43:42.640 and I threatened

00:43:44.020 a class action

00:43:45.100 because there's

00:43:47.200 a gigantic class

00:43:48.220 that would probably

00:43:48.820 want to get in on it.

00:43:49.880 Now,

00:43:50.500 the last thing in the world

00:43:51.560 I want to do

00:43:52.120 is get involved

00:43:53.520 in a giant lawsuit

00:43:54.420 with Amazon.

00:43:55.340 Like,

00:43:55.660 there's no way I win.

00:43:57.300 There's no winning path there.

00:43:58.980 I would only do it

00:44:00.000 as a suicide bomber,

00:44:02.620 meaning I would only do it

00:44:04.000 if I thought it would help

00:44:04.980 the other sellers

00:44:06.280 somewhere down the road.

00:44:08.600 So I might need to be

00:44:11.280 a weapon of mass destruction,

00:44:13.560 but I can't help myself.

00:44:15.660 I don't think there's a path

00:44:17.040 where I come out ahead

00:44:18.080 because if you're a bookseller,

00:44:19.880 and you take on Amazon,

00:44:22.200 you can imagine

00:44:24.180 a thousand ways

00:44:25.220 they could get even.

00:44:26.160 So it doesn't make sense

00:44:27.480 business-wise.

00:44:28.460 It doesn't make any sense.

00:44:29.980 But sometimes

00:44:31.360 it's not about business,

00:44:32.440 is it?

00:44:33.140 It's not about business.

00:44:34.480 Here's what I think.

00:44:35.920 I don't think this is a legal issue.

00:44:38.280 I think it's a homeland security issue.

00:44:40.820 Why is it that we're trying

00:44:42.080 to make sure that we

00:44:43.100 reshore our businesses

00:44:44.700 and manufacturing from China?

00:44:46.640 Is it because we want

00:44:47.640 to make more money?

00:44:48.780 No.

00:44:49.740 It's because it's a

00:44:50.600 homeland security problem.

00:44:52.460 Amazon is now

00:44:53.800 working for the adversaries,

00:44:55.900 intentionally or not,

00:44:57.020 but it's a homeland security problem.

00:45:00.580 Amazon probably needs 0.91

00:45:01.680 to be shut down

00:45:02.500 if they can't fix this

00:45:04.040 because they've developed

00:45:05.200 a system to destroy

00:45:06.560 all American companies.

00:45:09.120 Homeland security

00:45:10.020 should just shut them down

00:45:11.940 and say,

00:45:13.220 you can't destroy

00:45:14.060 American companies

00:45:15.040 intentionally.

00:45:16.620 Now,

00:45:17.040 when I say intentionally,

00:45:18.320 clearly they know

00:45:19.500 this is happening.

00:45:20.220 There's nobody here

00:45:22.880 who doubts

00:45:23.300 that they know

00:45:23.940 what's happening

00:45:24.440 and they've built a system

00:45:26.260 that optimizes for that.

00:45:28.800 It doesn't optimize

00:45:29.760 for protecting the seller.

00:45:31.980 It optimizes

00:45:33.020 for the counterfeits.

00:45:35.200 Now,

00:45:35.520 I saw that,

00:45:36.760 I think I'm right about this,

00:45:38.360 that Nike

00:45:38.900 pulled its products

00:45:40.880 entirely off of Amazon

00:45:42.120 because Amazon

00:45:43.100 couldn't stop

00:45:43.900 the counterfeits.

00:45:46.740 Now,

00:45:47.320 let me ask you this.

00:45:48.940 Do you really think

00:45:49.940 they couldn't stop

00:45:50.680 counterfeits

00:45:51.440 from Nike?

00:45:54.340 All they had to know

00:45:55.480 is that Nike

00:45:56.040 only has one official source

00:45:57.900 and all the rest are fake.

00:46:00.220 How hard is that?

00:46:03.360 All Nike had to say is,

00:46:05.320 here's our legal sources.

00:46:07.820 Just don't buy

00:46:09.460 from anybody else

00:46:10.240 or don't list anybody else.

00:46:11.960 The other way you could go

00:46:13.400 is have blue checks.

00:46:18.000 So,

00:46:18.380 suppose they gave me

00:46:19.200 a blue check mark

00:46:20.140 so that if you saw

00:46:21.720 multiple copies,

00:46:22.860 you'd say,

00:46:23.300 ooh,

00:46:24.000 these other ones

00:46:24.640 don't have a blue check mark.

00:46:27.060 Then,

00:46:27.640 let's say

00:46:28.140 I decided

00:46:29.300 to turn somebody in

00:46:30.560 with my blue check mark.

00:46:32.820 So,

00:46:32.980 I've got like

00:46:33.360 some authority now,

00:46:34.500 hypothetically.

00:46:35.360 So,

00:46:35.660 I turn in

00:46:36.180 some other person.

00:46:38.180 Well,

00:46:38.420 what happens

00:46:38.900 if I'm

00:46:39.700 actually a bad guy

00:46:41.380 and I turn in

00:46:42.560 somebody

00:46:42.940 who was legitimate?

00:46:45.840 Well,

00:46:46.260 then we get into a battle

00:46:48.040 and then they find out

00:46:49.180 and I turned in

00:46:49.760 somebody legitimate

00:46:50.540 and then they take

00:46:51.780 my blue check away

00:46:52.600 and I'm out of business

00:46:53.780 as I should be,

00:46:55.220 as I should be.

00:46:55.980 All you have to do

00:46:58.780 is give people

00:46:59.860 who are legitimate

00:47:00.680 a way to prove

00:47:02.620 they're legitimate once,

00:47:04.960 give them a blue check

00:47:05.980 or the equivalent

00:47:06.920 and then train

00:47:08.680 the other people

00:47:09.440 that they're looking

00:47:10.880 at something

00:47:11.300 that's not been verified.

00:47:13.920 Right?

00:47:14.300 So,

00:47:14.800 all I need to know

00:47:15.720 is that the fakes

00:47:16.440 are not verified

00:47:17.340 and I am.

00:47:19.160 So,

00:47:19.380 that would mean

00:47:19.840 that 100%

00:47:20.620 of the fake ones

00:47:21.560 would show

00:47:22.020 the whole product

00:47:23.280 and then

00:47:24.020 very clearly

00:47:25.240 it would say

00:47:25.720 the seller

00:47:26.240 is not a verified

00:47:27.500 legal seller.

00:47:30.220 Doesn't mean

00:47:30.840 they're illegal.

00:47:31.940 They're just not

00:47:32.780 verified as a legal

00:47:34.040 seller.

00:47:35.520 It would take you

00:47:36.500 five minutes

00:47:37.200 to learn never

00:47:38.060 to buy from them

00:47:38.900 because that just

00:47:39.820 means counterfeit.

00:47:41.140 Right?

00:47:41.720 How long would it

00:47:42.560 take you to figure out

00:47:43.360 you got to buy

00:47:43.880 from the blue check

00:47:44.660 companies?

00:47:47.180 It's the easiest

00:47:48.120 problem to solve

00:47:48.960 and I heard

00:47:50.520 somebody say

00:47:51.100 that they make

00:47:51.680 more money

00:47:52.140 from the counterfeits

00:47:53.120 than they do

00:47:54.940 from a lot

00:47:55.640 of other stuff.

00:47:57.420 So,

00:47:58.000 it could be

00:47:58.660 there's absolutely

00:48:00.400 nothing except

00:48:01.120 a big source

00:48:01.860 of money

00:48:02.300 and they're

00:48:03.220 pretending

00:48:03.660 they can't

00:48:04.240 solve it.

00:48:06.200 But while

00:48:06.940 they're pretending

00:48:07.540 they can't

00:48:08.100 solve it,

00:48:09.240 it is a

00:48:10.040 homeland security

00:48:10.820 problem

00:48:11.220 and I really

00:48:12.000 think they need

00:48:12.480 to be shut down

00:48:13.260 if they're not

00:48:14.220 going to address

00:48:14.700 it seriously.

00:48:15.420 Like the whole

00:48:15.860 thing.

00:48:16.140 Just shut it down.

00:48:17.280 Just turn off

00:48:18.060 the switch

00:48:18.580 because if

00:48:20.120 you're not

00:48:20.480 even trying

00:48:21.440 to stop

00:48:22.460 destroying

00:48:22.920 the economy

00:48:23.560 of the United

00:48:24.000 States,

00:48:25.080 maybe you

00:48:26.960 shouldn't be

00:48:27.200 in business.

00:48:28.780 Ontario,

00:48:29.580 the wait

00:48:30.220 is over.

00:48:31.100 The gold

00:49:14.160 Online Casino?

00:49:15.280 The other

00:49:30.160 thing that it

00:49:30.780 is, which I

00:49:31.560 thought also was

00:49:32.460 affecting only

00:49:33.240 me, if you

00:49:34.600 have a new

00:49:35.160 book and you

00:49:36.540 upload it,

00:49:37.900 because there's

00:49:38.340 a process for

00:49:39.120 independent people

00:49:39.920 like me to

00:49:40.420 upload a book,

00:49:41.540 working with

00:49:42.500 Joshua Lysak

00:49:43.500 in this case,

00:49:44.900 when you

00:49:45.360 upload it, the

00:49:46.120 odds of getting

00:49:46.720 a glitch on

00:49:48.560 your page, my

00:49:50.700 experience is

00:49:51.320 100%.

00:49:52.140 A glitch means

00:49:54.060 there's something

00:49:54.640 wrong with the

00:49:55.400 listing.

00:49:56.360 It either doesn't

00:49:57.060 show up or it's

00:49:58.060 not connected to

00:49:58.920 your other books,

00:50:00.420 it's not visible,

00:50:02.240 it takes weeks for

00:50:03.920 reasons you can't

00:50:04.640 figure out and

00:50:05.400 they won't help

00:50:05.920 you.

00:50:06.620 And what happens

00:50:07.420 in the time it

00:50:08.300 takes you to get

00:50:10.420 the glitch fixed?

00:50:11.440 Do you know

00:50:11.920 what happens?

00:50:13.000 You're flooded

00:50:13.900 with counterfeits

00:50:14.760 that didn't get

00:50:15.300 a glitch.

00:50:16.480 Oh, really?

00:50:17.660 So only the

00:50:19.080 person who really

00:50:20.080 owns the property

00:50:20.960 gets a glitch?

00:50:22.480 But all the

00:50:23.240 people who are

00:50:23.740 fake, no

00:50:24.860 glitch, right

00:50:26.340 in there.

00:50:27.200 And they sell

00:50:28.100 all the books

00:50:28.840 for the first

00:50:29.400 few weeks,

00:50:30.400 because that's

00:50:30.880 how long it

00:50:31.360 takes you to

00:50:31.800 fix the glitch.

00:50:33.160 But if you're

00:50:33.860 an author who

00:50:35.280 makes most of

00:50:36.540 their sales on

00:50:37.220 the first few

00:50:37.780 weeks, which is

00:50:38.940 typical, they 0.89

00:50:40.520 take all of

00:50:41.780 your profits.

00:50:43.500 And then, oh,

00:50:44.380 we got it fixed

00:50:45.200 finally.

00:50:45.780 It took a

00:50:46.260 month.

00:50:47.300 A month.

00:50:49.460 Ordinarily.

00:50:50.120 It's ordinary

00:50:50.780 for them to

00:50:51.400 take a month

00:50:51.940 to fix a

00:50:52.900 glitch.

00:50:53.420 It's ordinary

00:50:54.180 for there to

00:50:54.860 be a glitch

00:50:55.380 every time.

00:50:57.580 Now, I thought

00:50:58.220 it was just

00:50:58.620 happening to me

00:50:59.280 until I saw

00:50:59.840 some comments.

00:51:01.180 Apparently, it's

00:51:01.820 a system.

00:51:04.380 Now, that

00:51:05.100 part, I do

00:51:06.860 not believe, is

00:51:07.940 intentional on

00:51:09.240 the point of

00:51:09.960 Amazon's

00:51:10.560 management.

00:51:12.080 What I do

00:51:12.820 think is that

00:51:14.140 people in

00:51:14.560 charge of

00:51:15.060 posting things

00:51:15.980 are taking

00:51:16.480 bribes from

00:51:17.120 China or 0.92

00:51:18.400 India.

00:51:19.680 I think the

00:51:20.600 employees are

00:51:21.240 bribed.

00:51:22.200 And I think

00:51:22.940 that they're

00:51:23.280 glitching it

00:51:23.860 intentionally, and

00:51:25.320 they're working

00:51:25.760 with the

00:51:26.060 counterfeiters to

00:51:26.940 make sure the

00:51:27.380 counterfeiters have

00:51:28.180 a month of free

00:51:30.000 access before the

00:51:31.860 real one is

00:51:32.380 unglitched.

00:51:32.920 Now, there's

00:51:34.700 way too many

00:51:35.360 glitches to

00:51:37.520 imagine this is

00:51:38.240 an accident,

00:51:39.280 given that it's

00:51:40.360 their core

00:51:40.940 business to

00:51:42.880 upload things

00:51:43.940 and make them

00:51:44.780 properly listed.

00:51:46.400 It's no

00:51:47.200 coincidence.

00:51:48.240 This has to be

00:51:48.940 bribery at some

00:51:49.940 sub-level.

00:51:51.640 So the level of

00:51:52.420 illegality is just 1.00

00:51:53.460 incredible.

00:51:55.840 So what it's

00:51:56.500 doing is basically

00:51:57.280 somebody else

00:51:57.900 said this.

00:51:58.980 These small

00:51:59.580 American businesses

00:52:00.720 are taking the

00:52:01.580 risk of

00:52:02.920 they're doing

00:52:03.420 the R&D,

00:52:04.940 they're doing

00:52:05.340 all the

00:52:05.660 marketing for

00:52:07.160 whatever the

00:52:07.620 product is,

00:52:08.260 and then China

00:52:08.800 steals it.

00:52:10.220 So they're

00:52:10.920 stealing our

00:52:11.420 IP by stealing

00:52:12.940 the product,

00:52:14.240 right, in

00:52:15.460 effect.

00:52:17.700 All right, so

00:52:18.900 that's homeland

00:52:19.400 security.

00:52:20.500 That would make

00:52:21.180 it Christy

00:52:22.120 Gnome's business,

00:52:23.000 right?

00:52:24.320 Yeah, and

00:52:25.000 this really has

00:52:25.820 to be reframed.

00:52:26.860 This is not

00:52:27.500 just some

00:52:27.960 ordinary domestic

00:52:29.620 business glitch,

00:52:31.540 customer,

00:52:32.920 customer support

00:52:33.900 isn't as good

00:52:34.480 as we'd like it.

00:52:35.140 It's not that.

00:52:36.320 This is a

00:52:36.920 homeland security

00:52:38.140 gigantic,

00:52:40.180 gigantic risk

00:52:41.360 destroying

00:52:42.400 American small

00:52:43.440 business right

00:52:44.600 in front of us

00:52:45.320 intentionally,

00:52:47.700 intentionally,

00:52:48.880 and we're just

00:52:50.160 letting it happen.

00:52:51.780 It's time for

00:52:52.720 the Trump

00:52:53.100 administration to

00:52:53.900 put a big

00:52:54.300 fucking...

00:52:55.020 It's time for

00:52:58.580 the Trump

00:52:58.940 administration to

00:52:59.700 put a big

00:53:00.020 foot on this

00:53:00.920 and see

00:53:03.220 what they

00:53:03.480 can do.

00:53:05.400 Anyway,

00:53:06.000 speaking of

00:53:06.600 Trump,

00:53:07.020 he likes

00:53:08.800 TikTok,

00:53:09.420 and he's

00:53:09.700 trying to

00:53:10.180 see if they

00:53:11.140 can get a

00:53:11.800 delay so it

00:53:12.460 doesn't get

00:53:12.880 banned.

00:53:15.660 And we'll

00:53:16.320 see what

00:53:16.840 happens with

00:53:17.380 that.

00:53:17.980 But you

00:53:18.320 should know

00:53:18.640 that one

00:53:19.360 of Trump's

00:53:19.820 big donors

00:53:20.560 owns a big

00:53:21.680 part of

00:53:22.060 TikTok.

00:53:23.300 So Trump

00:53:24.340 says he likes

00:53:25.120 TikTok now

00:53:26.000 because it

00:53:27.660 worked in

00:53:28.180 favor of

00:53:28.580 him.

00:53:30.300 And I'm

00:53:31.360 sure that's

00:53:31.700 part of the

00:53:32.060 reason.

00:53:32.880 But another

00:53:33.340 part of it

00:53:33.820 is he's

00:53:35.180 got a

00:53:35.540 donor that's

00:53:36.140 so big,

00:53:37.360 he's probably

00:53:38.160 not going to

00:53:38.620 go against

00:53:39.000 that donor.

00:53:39.920 So that's

00:53:40.480 a factor.

00:53:41.460 However,

00:53:42.080 I did have

00:53:42.600 this experience

00:53:43.320 the other

00:53:43.680 day.

00:53:44.100 I mentioned

00:53:44.540 the TikTok

00:53:45.180 ban to

00:53:45.900 some young

00:53:46.420 people who

00:53:46.980 are frequent

00:53:48.180 users of

00:53:48.800 TikTok.

00:53:50.480 And the

00:53:51.900 first thing I

00:53:52.500 heard was

00:53:53.200 TikTok shows

00:53:55.300 both sides

00:53:56.000 on political

00:53:57.460 stuff.

00:53:58.700 Is that

00:53:59.320 your experience?

00:54:00.840 How many

00:54:01.340 of you use

00:54:01.840 TikTok?

00:54:03.140 Do you

00:54:03.420 think it

00:54:03.700 shows both

00:54:04.200 sides?

00:54:05.460 And so the

00:54:06.160 argument was

00:54:06.820 if it shows

00:54:07.460 both sides,

00:54:08.580 what's the

00:54:09.900 problem?

00:54:11.020 Now that's a

00:54:11.500 pretty good

00:54:11.820 question,

00:54:12.220 isn't it?

00:54:13.640 Somebody who

00:54:14.400 uses it

00:54:15.000 regularly says

00:54:15.760 I see both

00:54:16.340 sides all

00:54:16.820 the time.

00:54:17.560 I see

00:54:17.900 pro-Trump,

00:54:18.600 I see

00:54:18.840 anti-Trump.

00:54:19.880 If I'm

00:54:20.460 seeing both

00:54:20.960 sides,

00:54:21.980 what's the

00:54:22.900 problem?

00:54:23.140 Well,

00:54:25.360 here's where

00:54:26.140 someone trained

00:54:27.980 in persuasion

00:54:29.680 is handy.

00:54:31.460 Here's what I

00:54:32.260 explained.

00:54:33.340 How do you

00:54:33.860 know you

00:54:34.200 see the

00:54:34.620 best stuff

00:54:35.280 from both

00:54:35.760 sides?

00:54:36.700 If I

00:54:37.320 were some

00:54:38.940 nefarious

00:54:40.280 person at

00:54:40.880 TikTok or

00:54:41.540 in China and

00:54:42.300 I wanted to

00:54:42.900 game the

00:54:43.720 system, I

00:54:44.720 would make

00:54:45.080 sure that

00:54:45.520 you saw

00:54:45.920 both sides.

00:54:47.740 But their

00:54:49.360 algorithm tells

00:54:50.220 you which

00:54:50.920 are the

00:54:51.920 most viral

00:54:54.180 and powerful.

00:54:55.820 So I'd

00:54:56.360 make sure

00:54:56.680 you saw

00:54:57.060 weak

00:54:57.720 arguments for

00:54:58.820 one side

00:54:59.380 and strong

00:55:00.520 arguments for

00:55:01.220 the other.

00:55:02.300 Do you

00:55:02.560 think you'd

00:55:02.960 know that

00:55:03.320 they did

00:55:03.720 that to

00:55:04.020 you?

00:55:05.340 Do you

00:55:05.620 think you'd

00:55:06.960 know that

00:55:08.060 they intentionally

00:55:08.720 gave you the

00:55:09.320 weak arguments

00:55:10.000 for one side

00:55:10.680 and the

00:55:11.000 strong arguments

00:55:11.660 for another?

00:55:12.480 Or would

00:55:13.120 you just

00:55:13.440 say, looks

00:55:14.280 like I saw

00:55:14.780 both sides?

00:55:16.300 You would

00:55:16.900 say you saw

00:55:17.500 both sides

00:55:18.200 because you

00:55:18.580 wouldn't know

00:55:18.940 you saw the

00:55:19.400 weak argument

00:55:19.960 versus the 0.55

00:55:20.560 strong argument.

00:55:21.100 And they

00:55:22.180 have every

00:55:22.660 ability to

00:55:23.200 do that.

00:55:23.680 I'm not

00:55:23.900 saying they

00:55:24.260 have ever

00:55:24.520 done it.

00:55:25.280 I'm not

00:55:25.580 claiming they

00:55:26.440 did that.

00:55:27.180 I'm saying

00:55:27.660 how easy

00:55:28.120 would it

00:55:28.420 be?

00:55:29.320 Because the

00:55:29.960 risk is not

00:55:30.580 what they've

00:55:30.960 done so far.

00:55:32.500 If you

00:55:33.080 believe that

00:55:33.860 the risk

00:55:34.220 of TikTok

00:55:34.640 is what

00:55:35.300 you've seen

00:55:35.780 so far,

00:55:36.580 I've never

00:55:37.340 said that.

00:55:38.920 That's not

00:55:39.560 something I've

00:55:40.100 said.

00:55:40.440 It's the

00:55:40.840 future risk.

00:55:42.180 And it's

00:55:42.500 the fact that

00:55:43.020 they could do

00:55:43.420 things you

00:55:43.760 never know

00:55:44.160 they did.

00:55:45.820 So the

00:55:46.160 other thing

00:55:47.880 is how do

00:55:48.800 you know you

00:55:49.140 see the same

00:55:49.780 amount on

00:55:50.940 both sides?

00:55:52.020 It's easy

00:55:52.880 to know if

00:55:55.120 you saw

00:55:55.440 both sides.

00:55:56.840 It's hard

00:55:57.520 to know if

00:55:58.520 you saw the

00:55:58.960 same amount

00:55:59.680 because it's

00:56:00.660 not like you're

00:56:01.140 keeping track.

00:56:02.660 So what if

00:56:03.360 they gave you

00:56:04.140 70-30?

00:56:06.560 If they gave

00:56:07.320 you 70 from

00:56:08.020 one side and

00:56:08.660 30 from

00:56:09.140 another, would

00:56:10.700 you notice?

00:56:11.820 Or would you

00:56:12.540 just say, well,

00:56:13.240 I see both

00:56:13.740 sides.

00:56:14.920 Oh, yeah, I

00:56:15.280 see a little

00:56:15.640 more of one,

00:56:16.240 but I see

00:56:16.600 both sides.

00:56:17.880 Like, I see

00:56:19.100 both sides.

00:56:19.660 What else do

00:56:20.100 I need?

00:56:21.180 But if it's

00:56:21.660 70-30, would

00:56:23.560 you know?

00:56:24.580 Because it

00:56:25.100 would definitely

00:56:25.500 change your

00:56:26.400 thinking.

00:56:27.200 That would be

00:56:27.520 enough to

00:56:27.860 persuade.

00:56:28.880 How about

00:56:29.440 this?

00:56:30.240 What if the

00:56:30.920 people who

00:56:31.480 were talking

00:56:32.080 to me were

00:56:33.900 not the people

00:56:34.560 that TikTok

00:56:35.020 cared about?

00:56:36.460 Meaning that

00:56:37.240 TikTok knows

00:56:38.200 who you're

00:56:38.560 going to vote

00:56:38.920 for pretty

00:56:39.640 quickly.

00:56:39.980 Do you

00:56:41.420 think it

00:56:41.700 needs to

00:56:42.220 send persuasion

00:56:43.980 to people

00:56:44.420 who've made

00:56:44.720 up their

00:56:45.000 mind and

00:56:45.420 are not

00:56:45.700 going to

00:56:45.920 change it?

00:56:46.920 No.

00:56:48.000 It turns out

00:56:48.640 there's only

00:56:49.040 a narrow

00:56:49.460 sliver of

00:56:51.020 TikTok users

00:56:51.780 who might

00:56:52.620 be independent

00:56:54.100 enough that

00:56:54.560 they could go

00:56:55.060 either way.

00:56:56.020 Can TikTok

00:56:56.760 identify them?

00:56:58.800 And if you

00:56:59.260 were going to

00:56:59.580 compare the

00:57:00.800 thin number

00:57:02.420 of people who

00:57:02.960 can be

00:57:03.380 persuaded,

00:57:04.580 would they

00:57:05.040 also get

00:57:05.720 just as much

00:57:06.440 from both

00:57:06.840 sides?

00:57:07.660 And would

00:57:07.960 it be the

00:57:08.340 same quality

00:57:08.960 on both

00:57:09.360 sides?

00:57:10.860 Because look

00:57:12.200 how well they

00:57:12.700 could hide

00:57:13.120 the persuasion.

00:57:14.540 First of all,

00:57:15.240 you don't do

00:57:15.700 any special

00:57:16.460 persuasion for

00:57:18.240 90% of the

00:57:19.240 public.

00:57:20.100 And then when

00:57:20.860 people weigh

00:57:21.440 in, they say,

00:57:22.260 I'm pretty sure

00:57:23.140 I'm not being

00:57:23.820 persuaded because

00:57:25.460 I see both

00:57:26.440 sides.

00:57:27.000 It looks like a

00:57:27.520 good argument

00:57:27.960 to me.

00:57:29.200 You can't tell

00:57:30.080 me I'm being

00:57:30.680 manipulated.

00:57:31.560 I see

00:57:31.800 everything.

00:57:32.940 And maybe

00:57:33.260 they do.

00:57:34.560 But what

00:57:34.840 about that 10%

00:57:35.840 that are the

00:57:36.480 magic ones who

00:57:37.240 could be

00:57:37.580 persuaded?

00:57:38.000 you wouldn't

00:57:40.080 know if

00:57:40.860 they were

00:57:41.120 the only

00:57:41.460 ones getting

00:57:41.960 the persuasive

00:57:42.900 stuff.

00:57:43.640 You wouldn't

00:57:44.020 know, and

00:57:44.960 they wouldn't

00:57:45.220 know either.

00:57:48.660 And what

00:57:49.320 if they're

00:57:49.760 saving their

00:57:50.400 play for

00:57:50.880 some big

00:57:51.620 play later?

00:57:53.020 You know,

00:57:53.220 what if they

00:57:53.760 haven't used

00:57:54.480 any of these

00:57:55.140 powers that

00:57:55.980 would be

00:57:56.240 available to

00:57:56.820 them, and

00:57:58.260 they're just

00:57:58.580 waiting for

00:57:59.100 the big

00:57:59.700 opportunity,

00:58:00.660 something that

00:58:01.120 just kneecaps

00:58:02.580 America if we 0.89

00:58:03.400 believe it to

00:58:03.940 be true?

00:58:04.260 Now let

00:58:07.100 me ask you

00:58:07.520 this.

00:58:08.640 If you

00:58:09.060 think you're

00:58:10.600 on TikTok

00:58:11.040 and you've

00:58:11.580 seen both

00:58:12.100 sides, how

00:58:13.580 much anti-DEI

00:58:15.040 stuff do you

00:58:15.620 think is on

00:58:16.160 TikTok?

00:58:17.380 Just to pick

00:58:18.180 one political

00:58:19.000 topic.

00:58:20.500 Do you think

00:58:20.920 there's as much

00:58:21.520 anti-DEI as

00:58:23.060 there is pro-DEI

00:58:24.140 on TikTok?

00:58:26.900 I'm open to

00:58:27.880 being fact

00:58:28.400 checked, and

00:58:29.920 that would be

00:58:30.320 amazing if that

00:58:31.140 were true, but

00:58:32.340 I don't think

00:58:33.360 so.

00:58:34.260 Do you?

00:58:35.640 I mean, just

00:58:36.100 the demographics

00:58:37.620 of the users

00:58:38.580 should largely

00:58:40.060 guarantee that

00:58:40.940 it's 80% or

00:58:43.380 more pro-DEI.

00:58:46.840 I don't know.

00:58:47.740 I don't think

00:58:48.160 anybody's seeing

00:58:48.760 both sides of

00:58:49.460 that.

00:58:50.540 Maybe they're

00:58:51.000 seeing both

00:58:51.520 sides of

00:58:51.980 Trump as

00:58:52.460 Hitler, which 0.97

00:58:54.400 is better than

00:58:54.840 nothing.

00:58:55.780 But do you

00:58:56.540 think they

00:58:56.840 really see

00:58:57.320 both sides

00:58:57.880 of DEI?

00:58:59.340 I doubt it.

00:59:00.700 Seems unlikely

00:59:01.360 to me.

00:59:04.260 Anyway, James

00:59:05.840 Carville has a

00:59:07.400 theory about

00:59:08.000 the mass

00:59:08.820 killers.

00:59:12.420 Even when I

00:59:13.460 don't agree

00:59:14.160 with James

00:59:14.980 Carville, he's

00:59:17.200 so quotable and

00:59:18.840 fun to listen

00:59:19.600 to because he'll

00:59:21.080 just say whatever

00:59:22.280 it is that nobody

00:59:23.240 else is saying

00:59:23.880 that, and

00:59:25.220 there's a reason

00:59:25.680 they're not saying

00:59:26.380 it.

00:59:26.640 But the reason

00:59:28.600 is that they're

00:59:29.140 afraid, not

00:59:29.760 that he's

00:59:30.340 wrong.

00:59:31.320 So here's what

00:59:32.040 he says.

00:59:32.860 At the end of

00:59:33.440 the day, it's

00:59:34.180 just my theory.

00:59:35.380 I'm going to be

00:59:36.020 right 80% of the

00:59:36.980 time.

00:59:37.720 These people,

00:59:38.560 meaning the

00:59:38.980 mass killers, 0.55

00:59:39.820 have some kind

00:59:40.600 of sexual

00:59:41.080 problem.

00:59:42.020 Most of them

00:59:42.480 are incels.

00:59:45.980 Now, I don't

00:59:47.640 know if we need

00:59:48.340 to take that

00:59:48.920 so seriously.

00:59:51.400 Because remember,

00:59:52.260 Carville's a,

00:59:53.620 you know, he's a

00:59:54.540 bomb thrower and

00:59:55.640 he's provocative

00:59:57.060 and, you know,

00:59:57.880 so some of it's

00:59:58.560 just his

00:59:58.940 personality and

00:59:59.800 the way he

01:00:00.660 communicates.

01:00:01.340 And you

01:00:01.600 shouldn't take

01:00:02.080 it too, too

01:00:03.360 seriously.

01:00:04.800 But here's

01:00:05.900 what I would

01:00:06.300 note.

01:00:07.780 This reminds

01:00:08.720 me of

01:00:09.140 backward

01:00:09.620 science, where

01:00:11.940 you got the

01:00:12.380 cause and the

01:00:12.880 effect wrong.

01:00:15.040 Do you

01:00:15.700 think that

01:00:18.260 women like 1.00

01:00:20.560 to date a

01:00:23.480 guy who is

01:00:24.860 a suicide

01:00:25.340 bomber?

01:00:26.760 Do you

01:00:27.260 think there

01:00:27.640 would be no

01:00:28.300 indication that

01:00:30.480 there's something

01:00:30.940 wrong with the

01:00:31.540 guy if he's a

01:00:33.420 little bit, you

01:00:34.640 know, too

01:00:34.940 radicalized?

01:00:36.080 How many women 1.00

01:00:37.020 want to be with

01:00:37.660 a radicalized

01:00:38.440 guy who is

01:00:38.980 always talking

01:00:39.500 about, I wish

01:00:40.900 somebody would

01:00:41.400 blow up the

01:00:41.960 Trump Tower?

01:00:43.680 I feel like

01:00:45.060 they may be

01:00:48.300 incels, but

01:00:50.460 maybe it's not

01:00:51.580 their choice.

01:00:54.000 So maybe just

01:00:55.480 being a

01:00:55.960 suicide bomber

01:00:56.840 makes sure

01:00:58.120 that you

01:00:58.460 can't get a

01:00:59.260 date.

01:00:59.880 So I'm not

01:01:00.320 sure that not

01:01:01.100 getting a

01:01:01.560 date turns you

01:01:03.240 into a

01:01:03.680 suicide bomber.

01:01:05.320 I think that

01:01:06.180 whatever comes

01:01:06.820 along with being

01:01:07.500 a suicide bomber

01:01:08.460 is something that

01:01:09.860 women can pick 1.00

01:01:10.560 up pretty

01:01:11.180 easily.

01:01:12.960 But you

01:01:13.940 might not be

01:01:14.400 wrong.

01:01:14.760 There might be a

01:01:15.220 lot of them

01:01:15.620 that are not

01:01:16.160 getting their

01:01:17.100 other needs

01:01:17.580 met.

01:01:17.860 I have

01:01:19.280 said in

01:01:19.960 the past

01:01:20.480 and was

01:01:20.980 mocked

01:01:21.520 mercilessly,

01:01:23.380 so I'll

01:01:23.660 say it

01:01:23.940 again.

01:01:25.460 So the

01:01:26.060 first time I

01:01:26.640 said this,

01:01:27.100 it was years

01:01:27.480 ago.

01:01:28.500 I was

01:01:28.760 mocked.

01:01:29.420 Oh, God

01:01:30.000 was mocked.

01:01:30.780 But I want

01:01:31.120 to see if

01:01:31.460 you still

01:01:31.820 mock me or

01:01:32.860 if the

01:01:33.580 vibe has

01:01:34.660 changed a

01:01:35.120 little bit.

01:01:36.020 What I

01:01:36.560 said was in

01:01:37.400 the Islamic

01:01:39.380 systems, if

01:01:41.240 the rich

01:01:41.660 people can

01:01:42.200 have multiple

01:01:42.800 wives, what's 1.00

01:01:44.880 going to

01:01:45.100 happen to

01:01:45.480 the rest of

01:01:45.920 the men?

01:01:46.340 And

01:01:47.860 well, they

01:01:48.180 will be

01:01:48.440 unwifed,

01:01:49.420 right?

01:01:50.600 If you

01:01:51.620 believe that

01:01:52.760 you could

01:01:53.140 never do

01:01:54.440 the thing

01:01:55.240 that humans

01:01:55.840 are born to

01:01:56.440 do, which

01:01:56.880 is have

01:01:57.580 kids and

01:01:59.080 have a

01:01:59.340 family, and

01:02:00.280 you thought

01:02:00.580 it was just

01:02:01.000 unavailable to

01:02:02.260 you because

01:02:03.160 you're not

01:02:03.520 rich, you're

01:02:04.020 not going to

01:02:04.420 be rich,

01:02:05.580 you're just

01:02:06.000 going to be

01:02:06.280 this single

01:02:07.060 guy wandering

01:02:08.220 around doing

01:02:08.860 nothing, and

01:02:10.080 then I say

01:02:10.560 to you, but

01:02:11.220 what if

01:02:13.400 you did

01:02:15.200 something really

01:02:15.820 noble and

01:02:16.480 you killed 0.82

01:02:17.600 a bunch of

01:02:18.040 people and

01:02:18.500 went to

01:02:18.780 heaven and

01:02:19.100 got your

01:02:19.420 72 virgins?

01:02:21.820 I believe

01:02:22.720 that the

01:02:25.100 amount of

01:02:26.080 people who

01:02:26.560 were suicide

01:02:27.260 bombers and

01:02:28.360 willing to

01:02:29.100 run into

01:02:29.540 battle at

01:02:30.060 all risks,

01:02:30.860 like you see

01:02:31.740 over there,

01:02:32.360 I don't think

01:02:33.080 that would

01:02:33.340 happen so

01:02:33.920 much if

01:02:35.060 the people

01:02:35.420 doing it

01:02:35.900 had a

01:02:36.200 better

01:02:36.400 alternative.

01:02:39.040 So to

01:02:39.880 me, it

01:02:40.320 seems that

01:02:40.900 not getting

01:02:41.600 laid, which

01:02:42.580 I will just

01:02:43.460 say is in

01:02:44.300 the category

01:02:44.760 of not

01:02:45.820 being a

01:02:47.660 person who

01:02:48.040 is going

01:02:48.260 to have

01:02:48.420 babies, I 0.72

01:02:50.080 do think

01:02:50.520 that that

01:02:50.940 creates a

01:02:51.800 situation where

01:02:52.560 somebody would

01:02:53.280 say, well,

01:02:54.660 might as

01:02:55.560 well, and

01:02:56.800 I'm going to

01:02:57.080 go further.

01:02:58.260 If I lived

01:02:59.200 in a system

01:02:59.920 where I knew

01:03:01.440 I could not

01:03:02.000 get my

01:03:02.380 basic

01:03:02.760 biological

01:03:03.320 needs met,

01:03:06.800 I'd

01:03:08.040 probably do

01:03:08.540 something

01:03:08.840 dangerous.

01:03:10.160 Maybe not

01:03:10.960 that specific

01:03:11.680 thing, but

01:03:13.120 yeah, I

01:03:14.500 would do

01:03:15.900 illegal drugs

01:03:17.020 without thinking

01:03:18.080 about it, if

01:03:19.440 it made me

01:03:19.860 feel good.

01:03:21.420 I'd probably

01:03:22.320 do a lot of

01:03:23.000 criminal things

01:03:23.880 because I

01:03:24.980 wouldn't care

01:03:25.460 about society.

01:03:26.980 I wouldn't

01:03:27.300 be a part

01:03:27.700 of it.

01:03:28.840 If you

01:03:29.420 can't have

01:03:29.760 kids, you're

01:03:31.520 not locked

01:03:32.120 into the

01:03:32.600 system the

01:03:33.120 way a

01:03:33.600 single person

01:03:34.280 is not

01:03:36.680 locked into

01:03:37.200 the system.

01:03:38.600 So would

01:03:40.200 the end

01:03:41.740 of multiple

01:03:42.680 wives

01:03:44.120 create a

01:03:45.580 change in

01:03:46.020 the Middle

01:03:46.300 East?

01:03:46.860 I think it

01:03:47.640 would.

01:03:49.100 It might

01:03:49.760 not be the

01:03:50.220 biggest change.

01:03:51.140 It might not

01:03:51.600 solve all the

01:03:52.260 problems, but

01:03:53.420 yeah, the

01:03:54.900 basics thing

01:03:55.580 I'm saying is

01:03:56.180 that people

01:03:56.640 evaluate

01:03:57.220 alternatives,

01:03:58.820 right?

01:04:00.100 So I have

01:04:01.040 an alternative

01:04:01.580 of living a

01:04:03.080 full, complete

01:04:04.580 life, so it

01:04:05.940 never occurs to

01:04:06.640 me that

01:04:06.980 committing a

01:04:08.740 violent act

01:04:10.000 would be on

01:04:11.580 my menu.

01:04:12.520 Why would I

01:04:13.120 even look at

01:04:13.660 it?

01:04:14.940 But if I

01:04:15.760 didn't have

01:04:16.080 any way to

01:04:17.280 meet my

01:04:17.660 basic needs

01:04:18.520 as a living

01:04:19.320 human being,

01:04:20.360 I would look

01:04:21.180 at any

01:04:21.500 alternative, and

01:04:23.000 I would look

01:04:23.380 at an

01:04:23.620 alternative that

01:04:24.300 had a quick

01:04:24.700 ending, too.

01:04:26.140 So I

01:04:27.140 completely

01:04:27.620 understand.

01:04:29.400 Now, of

01:04:30.080 course, there'll

01:04:30.380 be some

01:04:30.660 exceptions.

01:04:31.620 There'll be

01:04:32.000 happily married

01:04:33.100 people who

01:04:33.600 become mass

01:04:35.040 killers, and

01:04:35.880 that's probably

01:04:36.240 more to do

01:04:36.860 with mental

01:04:37.900 health.

01:04:38.240 So you

01:04:39.780 don't want

01:04:40.040 to conflate

01:04:40.480 the crazy

01:04:41.140 people, who

01:04:42.800 nothing will

01:04:43.360 stop them,

01:04:44.360 with the

01:04:44.700 people who

01:04:45.060 are literally

01:04:45.420 looking at

01:04:45.920 their options

01:04:46.560 and going,

01:04:47.440 you know,

01:04:48.420 all things

01:04:49.000 considered,

01:04:50.380 suicide

01:04:50.920 bombers looking 1.00

01:04:51.620 pretty good

01:04:52.060 today.

01:04:54.420 Anyway,

01:04:55.380 Biden blocked

01:04:56.660 the sale of

01:04:57.200 U.S.

01:04:57.560 steel to

01:04:57.980 Japan.

01:04:58.520 He said he

01:04:58.980 might, and

01:05:00.360 I guess after

01:05:01.100 there was some

01:05:01.840 big committee

01:05:02.440 that tried to

01:05:02.980 decide on it,

01:05:04.060 and the

01:05:04.420 committee came

01:05:05.060 back with,

01:05:05.760 we can't

01:05:06.360 decide.

01:05:06.800 And so

01:05:07.980 that made

01:05:08.380 Biden the

01:05:08.960 decider, and

01:05:10.300 Biden stopped

01:05:10.960 the sale.

01:05:14.180 Do you

01:05:14.740 mind if I

01:05:15.260 just say that

01:05:15.940 was the right

01:05:16.380 decision?

01:05:18.660 Yeah, he's

01:05:19.920 going to get a

01:05:20.340 few right.

01:05:22.060 I'm pretty

01:05:22.700 sure this was

01:05:23.260 the right

01:05:23.520 decision.

01:05:24.860 So I'm

01:05:26.540 just going to

01:05:26.840 say unambiguously,

01:05:28.620 with no

01:05:29.460 caveats,

01:05:31.320 Biden made

01:05:31.840 the right

01:05:32.400 decision.

01:05:33.620 So we're

01:05:34.340 going to give

01:05:34.660 him that.

01:05:34.920 I'm pretty

01:05:35.820 sure Trump

01:05:36.440 would have

01:05:36.700 done the

01:05:36.980 same thing.

01:05:38.180 I'm not

01:05:38.820 100% sure,

01:05:40.580 but I'm

01:05:40.840 pretty sure.

01:05:41.720 So I think

01:05:42.120 you could be

01:05:42.480 happy with

01:05:42.900 that one.

01:05:45.840 But why

01:05:46.580 did Biden

01:05:47.080 say no to

01:05:48.560 Japan buying

01:05:49.740 it?

01:05:50.840 Well, I've

01:05:52.080 got a

01:05:52.420 hypothesis.

01:05:54.420 Japan has

01:05:55.280 never been

01:05:55.700 accused of

01:05:56.480 bribing the

01:05:57.080 Biden crime

01:05:57.820 family.

01:05:58.980 Am I

01:05:59.600 right?

01:05:59.800 But if

01:06:01.620 Biden had

01:06:05.280 blocked the

01:06:05.860 sale to

01:06:07.120 China, I

01:06:09.660 would have

01:06:09.880 been a

01:06:10.120 little more

01:06:10.480 surprised.

01:06:11.580 Because he

01:06:12.240 did take

01:06:12.720 money from

01:06:13.180 China.

01:06:14.220 But he

01:06:14.800 didn't take

01:06:15.180 any money

01:06:15.520 from Japan,

01:06:16.380 and I

01:06:17.080 guess Japan 0.75

01:06:17.520 loses.

01:06:19.040 Maybe they

01:06:19.680 should have

01:06:20.020 been more

01:06:20.400 involved in

01:06:21.060 the Biden

01:06:22.100 crime family,

01:06:22.820 and they

01:06:23.040 could have

01:06:23.260 bought

01:06:23.420 themselves a

01:06:23.940 steel plant.

01:06:24.920 We don't

01:06:25.660 know if

01:06:27.780 that had any

01:06:28.400 influence on

01:06:29.000 his decision.

01:06:30.360 But since

01:06:31.080 it was the

01:06:31.380 right decision,

01:06:32.460 we'll give

01:06:32.780 them the

01:06:32.940 benefit of

01:06:33.380 it that way.

01:06:35.200 When I

01:06:35.820 found out my

01:06:36.440 friend got a

01:06:37.060 great deal on

01:06:37.880 a wool coat

01:06:38.420 from Winners,

01:06:39.240 I started

01:06:40.040 wondering,

01:06:40.940 is every

01:06:41.760 fabulous item

01:06:42.540 I see from

01:06:43.220 Winners?

01:06:44.040 Like that

01:06:44.560 woman over 0.99

01:06:45.040 there with

01:06:45.520 the designer

01:06:45.940 jeans.

01:06:46.760 Are those

01:06:47.360 from Winners?

01:06:48.300 Ooh, or

01:06:49.080 those beautiful

01:06:49.600 gold earrings?

01:06:50.740 Did she pay 0.97

01:06:51.180 full price?

01:06:52.100 Or that

01:06:52.360 leather tote?

01:06:53.120 Or that

01:06:53.380 cashmere

01:06:53.720 sweater?

01:06:54.300 Or those

01:06:54.640 knee-high

01:06:54.960 boots?

01:06:55.800 That dress?

01:06:56.580 That jacket?

01:06:57.240 Those shoes?

01:06:58.280 Is anyone

01:06:59.060 paying full

01:06:59.700 price for

01:07:00.260 anything?

01:07:01.260 Stop

01:07:01.700 wondering.

01:07:02.480 Start winning.

01:07:03.440 Winners find

01:07:04.240 fabulous for

01:07:05.040 less.

01:07:05.840 All right.

01:07:07.440 Do you remember

01:07:08.480 when you thought

01:07:09.160 that China,

01:07:10.480 their GDP,

01:07:11.680 their economy

01:07:12.140 would grow

01:07:12.740 until that

01:07:13.500 surpassed

01:07:15.100 America?

01:07:15.420 and that

01:07:16.000 was just

01:07:16.400 assumed to

01:07:17.060 be true

01:07:17.460 because they

01:07:18.140 have more

01:07:18.440 people,

01:07:19.700 more vitality,

01:07:21.940 and the

01:07:23.000 lines were

01:07:23.620 definitely

01:07:24.240 going to

01:07:24.560 converge?

01:07:25.800 Well, at

01:07:26.280 the moment,

01:07:26.680 it doesn't

01:07:27.000 look like

01:07:27.340 it's going

01:07:27.600 to happen

01:07:27.960 because China

01:07:29.500 is having

01:07:29.880 so many

01:07:30.360 economic

01:07:31.240 problems

01:07:31.820 that it

01:07:34.500 might still

01:07:35.100 happen,

01:07:36.120 but certainly

01:07:39.080 not as soon

01:07:39.800 as people

01:07:40.200 thought.

01:07:40.880 The experts

01:07:41.660 thought it

01:07:42.100 might happen

01:07:42.480 around 2030,

01:07:43.980 and it

01:07:44.240 still could

01:07:44.580 happen,

01:07:45.720 but boy,

01:07:46.220 did it

01:07:46.420 slow down.

01:07:47.820 So China 0.92

01:07:48.340 is sucking 0.98

01:07:48.800 wind,

01:07:50.120 but so

01:07:50.540 are we.

01:07:51.980 If Trump

01:07:53.800 vows to

01:07:54.340 block US

01:07:54.860 deals,

01:07:55.260 take over,

01:07:55.580 oh, okay.

01:07:56.500 So CBS News

01:07:57.320 is reporting

01:07:57.960 that Trump

01:07:58.600 would have

01:07:58.920 stopped it

01:07:59.380 as well.

01:08:00.640 So we

01:08:01.400 can be

01:08:01.660 happy with

01:08:02.020 that decision.

01:08:02.540 But here's

01:08:05.780 what I would

01:08:06.120 say about

01:08:06.520 China versus 0.94

01:08:07.200 the United

01:08:07.680 States.

01:08:09.160 I don't

01:08:09.900 see a path

01:08:10.580 for China

01:08:11.160 to survive

01:08:12.120 because their

01:08:13.600 entire economy

01:08:14.380 depends on

01:08:15.000 manufacturing at

01:08:16.340 a low cost,

01:08:17.520 and certainly

01:08:19.920 there are a

01:08:20.380 few other

01:08:20.800 countries that

01:08:21.400 are trying to

01:08:21.820 compete, but

01:08:22.460 not super

01:08:23.320 effectively, like

01:08:24.340 Vietnam is

01:08:25.240 trying to be

01:08:26.500 a, you know,

01:08:27.000 but they don't

01:08:27.640 have the

01:08:28.040 manufacturing

01:08:28.840 know-how.

01:08:31.240 If you go

01:08:31.740 to China,

01:08:32.360 there's like

01:08:32.740 this entire

01:08:33.520 gigantic

01:08:34.460 industry of

01:08:35.940 people who

01:08:36.320 are experts

01:08:36.960 as saying,

01:08:37.760 what is it

01:08:38.100 you want to

01:08:38.400 make?

01:08:39.400 Oh, you

01:08:40.360 want to

01:08:40.580 make a

01:08:41.060 lamp out

01:08:42.480 of cotton?

01:08:44.480 Okay.

01:08:45.280 And they

01:08:45.600 can build

01:08:45.940 you a 0.57

01:08:46.220 factory that

01:08:46.720 will make

01:08:47.000 a lamp

01:08:47.480 out of

01:08:47.960 cotton.

01:08:48.520 That's not

01:08:49.040 a real

01:08:49.280 thing.

01:08:50.360 So, in

01:08:51.220 fact, I

01:08:51.620 had a

01:08:52.100 friend who

01:08:54.380 had a

01:08:54.840 product

01:08:55.240 designed,

01:08:56.140 he designed

01:08:56.640 it on sort

01:08:57.200 of a

01:08:57.380 napkin and

01:08:57.900 stuff, and

01:08:58.980 he found

01:08:59.820 a Chinese

01:09:00.260 company,

01:09:00.640 he was

01:09:02.060 making

01:09:02.300 giant

01:09:02.740 tennis

01:09:03.100 rackets.

01:09:04.060 So, he

01:09:04.580 was making

01:09:04.900 tennis

01:09:05.300 rackets that

01:09:06.000 were just

01:09:06.740 for decoration

01:09:07.960 if you were

01:09:08.840 a tennis

01:09:09.100 player, but

01:09:09.800 it looked

01:09:10.000 like a

01:09:10.280 regular wooden

01:09:11.000 racket, but

01:09:11.720 it was like

01:09:12.160 four feet

01:09:13.000 tall or

01:09:13.400 something.

01:09:14.160 I bought

01:09:14.500 one of it.

01:09:14.900 They're

01:09:15.060 really cool.

01:09:16.300 But he

01:09:16.700 basically said

01:09:17.360 to a

01:09:17.600 Chinese

01:09:17.860 company,

01:09:18.820 all right,

01:09:19.200 here's a

01:09:19.700 hand drawing

01:09:20.540 of what I

01:09:21.020 want.

01:09:21.420 It's just

01:09:21.720 a giant

01:09:22.220 tennis racket.

01:09:23.220 It's made 0.83

01:09:23.500 of wood.

01:09:23.820 And they

01:09:26.060 somehow made

01:09:26.720 a giant

01:09:27.080 tennis

01:09:27.420 racket.

01:09:29.500 Like, do

01:09:30.460 you know

01:09:30.660 how many

01:09:31.060 technologies

01:09:31.740 they would

01:09:32.220 have to

01:09:32.500 pull

01:09:32.720 together to

01:09:34.760 make a

01:09:35.080 giant

01:09:35.320 tennis

01:09:35.700 racket

01:09:36.120 strung at

01:09:39.080 a price

01:09:40.040 that if it

01:09:41.480 got bigger

01:09:41.900 they could

01:09:42.280 afford?

01:09:44.100 And that's

01:09:44.580 a lot of

01:09:45.420 manufacturing

01:09:46.180 know-how.

01:09:46.800 And when I

01:09:47.220 saw that, I

01:09:47.660 was like,

01:09:48.000 holy cow, 0.51

01:09:49.060 I don't know

01:09:49.720 that I could

01:09:50.100 find a place

01:09:50.700 in America

01:09:51.240 that would

01:09:51.700 do that.

01:09:53.540 I mean,

01:09:53.800 maybe.

01:09:55.140 So places

01:09:56.200 like Vietnam 0.92

01:09:56.860 can't just

01:09:57.460 knock off

01:09:58.540 China, even 0.94

01:09:59.940 if they have

01:10:00.320 lower-cost

01:10:00.880 labor.

01:10:01.620 They don't

01:10:02.180 have the

01:10:02.500 factory

01:10:02.920 engineers.

01:10:03.900 That's the

01:10:04.540 big advantage.

01:10:05.800 However,

01:10:06.840 what happens

01:10:08.100 when the

01:10:08.740 cheap labor

01:10:09.420 is replaced

01:10:10.380 with cheap

01:10:10.960 robots?

01:10:13.060 That means

01:10:13.900 that the

01:10:14.280 United States

01:10:14.860 will have a

01:10:15.340 manufacturing

01:10:15.940 advantage,

01:10:17.140 at least for

01:10:18.180 stuff that is

01:10:18.940 sold in the

01:10:19.440 United States.

01:10:20.140 Because the

01:10:20.740 shipping costs

01:10:21.500 and the

01:10:21.980 shipping

01:10:22.240 delays are

01:10:24.180 a big part

01:10:24.880 of the

01:10:25.260 acquisition

01:10:26.460 problem.

01:10:27.740 But if you're

01:10:28.400 buying it in

01:10:28.940 America, it

01:10:29.600 comes faster.

01:10:30.920 You don't

01:10:31.440 have to worry

01:10:31.900 about any

01:10:32.360 economic

01:10:32.840 instability.

01:10:34.020 You don't

01:10:34.320 have to worry

01:10:34.740 about as

01:10:35.280 much.

01:10:35.900 You don't

01:10:36.140 have to worry

01:10:36.460 about the

01:10:36.760 intentional

01:10:37.180 IP threat.

01:10:38.560 You don't

01:10:38.860 have to

01:10:39.200 travel to

01:10:39.820 China to

01:10:40.740 make sure

01:10:41.100 that they're

01:10:41.440 doing it

01:10:41.780 right and

01:10:42.280 have your

01:10:42.640 laptop

01:10:43.140 information

01:10:44.080 stolen.

01:10:45.380 So robots

01:10:46.940 should destroy

01:10:49.700 the entire

01:10:50.480 economic

01:10:51.100 engine of

01:10:51.900 China while

01:10:53.680 strengthening the

01:10:54.780 economic

01:10:55.220 engine of

01:10:55.840 America.

01:10:57.120 And I

01:10:57.920 don't see

01:10:58.380 any way

01:10:58.820 around it.

01:11:00.140 Do you?

01:11:01.600 Because robots

01:11:02.660 are definitely

01:11:03.280 coming.

01:11:03.840 They're definitely

01:11:04.380 going to do

01:11:04.820 all the manual

01:11:05.520 labor.

01:11:06.140 They're definitely

01:11:06.660 going to replace

01:11:07.400 most manufacturing

01:11:09.260 jobs.

01:11:09.780 They're definitely

01:11:10.240 going to be

01:11:10.600 cheaper than

01:11:11.160 hiring humans

01:11:11.920 and even

01:11:13.020 cheaper than

01:11:14.360 having it

01:11:14.760 made in

01:11:15.100 China.

01:11:16.540 So what's

01:11:18.380 their plan

01:11:18.800 be?

01:11:20.720 How does

01:11:21.440 China survive

01:11:22.360 with that?

01:11:25.020 And the

01:11:25.340 answer is I

01:11:25.860 have no idea

01:11:26.480 and I

01:11:27.520 wonder if

01:11:27.880 they do.

01:11:29.120 Do they

01:11:29.600 have any

01:11:29.900 idea that

01:11:30.400 they don't

01:11:30.680 have any

01:11:31.000 way to

01:11:31.260 survive?

01:11:33.560 I mean

01:11:33.840 their system

01:11:34.720 seems to

01:11:36.540 be brittle.

01:11:38.400 So I

01:11:40.660 will say at

01:11:41.040 the same

01:11:41.320 time that

01:11:41.740 betting

01:11:42.120 against

01:11:42.840 China's 0.76

01:11:43.920 economy is

01:11:44.740 probably one

01:11:45.500 of the worst

01:11:45.960 bets you

01:11:46.560 could ever

01:11:46.900 make but

01:11:48.380 on paper

01:11:49.060 it's not

01:11:49.600 looking good.

01:11:50.580 In the

01:11:51.240 real world

01:11:51.780 China's 0.76

01:11:53.100 really smart.

01:11:55.040 Right?

01:11:56.260 The Chinese 0.89

01:11:57.240 leadership are

01:11:58.680 like really

01:11:59.320 really smart

01:12:00.160 people.

01:12:00.560 It's a lot

01:12:00.740 of engineers

01:12:01.380 so they

01:12:02.800 don't do

01:12:03.600 real dumb

01:12:04.760 stuff.

01:12:06.080 They just

01:12:06.560 don't.

01:12:07.620 So maybe

01:12:08.520 they can

01:12:08.820 figure it

01:12:09.220 out but I

01:12:09.900 don't know

01:12:10.120 how.

01:12:10.840 I have a

01:12:11.580 good imagination

01:12:12.320 and I can't

01:12:12.900 imagine how

01:12:13.620 they get out

01:12:14.140 of that.

01:12:15.240 We'll see.

01:12:16.900 There's a

01:12:20.220 20-year-old

01:12:21.040 soldier who

01:12:22.860 apparently is

01:12:23.420 a hacker

01:12:23.920 in his

01:12:24.340 spare time

01:12:24.980 who got

01:12:25.820 arrested and

01:12:27.040 charged for

01:12:27.940 apparently he

01:12:29.520 hacked into

01:12:30.000 the phone

01:12:30.440 companies and

01:12:31.120 got the

01:12:31.480 private records

01:12:32.320 of allegedly

01:12:33.240 Trump and

01:12:34.380 Kamala Harris

01:12:35.080 and then

01:12:35.600 sold the

01:12:36.240 personal records

01:12:37.640 of their

01:12:37.980 phone calls

01:12:38.680 on the

01:12:39.340 black market.

01:12:41.080 Let me

01:12:41.820 say that

01:12:42.200 again.

01:12:43.640 An

01:12:43.900 ordinary

01:12:44.500 American

01:12:45.180 20-year-old

01:12:46.280 U.S.

01:12:47.280 Army soldier

01:12:48.000 had the

01:12:49.800 wherewithal

01:12:50.440 to get

01:12:52.940 the

01:12:53.180 president

01:12:53.560 of the

01:12:53.920 United

01:12:54.180 States

01:12:54.700 personal

01:12:56.160 messages

01:12:56.640 from a

01:12:57.140 telecom

01:12:57.580 company

01:12:57.980 by

01:12:58.780 hacking

01:12:59.060 it.

01:13:01.040 Now,

01:13:01.880 do you

01:13:02.740 think there's

01:13:03.140 any chance

01:13:03.800 that China 0.93

01:13:04.460 isn't in

01:13:05.180 every one

01:13:05.660 of our

01:13:05.980 systems?

01:13:07.440 If a

01:13:08.200 20-year-old

01:13:08.800 can get

01:13:09.140 into what

01:13:09.860 I would

01:13:10.200 think would

01:13:10.660 be a

01:13:10.960 pretty darn

01:13:11.580 secure

01:13:12.020 system,

01:13:13.360 pretty darn

01:13:14.340 secure,

01:13:14.820 than

01:13:16.460 anybody

01:13:16.840 can get

01:13:17.260 in.

01:13:19.040 Anybody

01:13:19.780 who has

01:13:20.220 that

01:13:20.420 talent,

01:13:21.260 and China

01:13:21.800 has that

01:13:22.260 talent

01:13:22.580 times a

01:13:23.060 thousand.

01:13:24.600 So,

01:13:25.280 we should

01:13:26.720 assume that

01:13:27.440 China is 0.85

01:13:27.900 already in

01:13:28.560 everything.

01:13:30.620 Now,

01:13:31.020 I don't

01:13:31.500 hate that,

01:13:32.700 believe it

01:13:33.100 or not,

01:13:33.860 because it

01:13:34.620 would give

01:13:35.020 China some 0.62

01:13:35.840 sense of

01:13:36.400 having a

01:13:37.100 weapon of

01:13:37.720 mass

01:13:38.020 destruction

01:13:38.600 that's not

01:13:39.860 nuclear,

01:13:40.860 because they

01:13:41.920 can turn off

01:13:42.440 the lights

01:13:42.980 in the

01:13:43.740 United States

01:13:44.340 and 90%

01:13:45.520 of us

01:13:45.800 would die

01:13:46.240 in a

01:13:47.240 year.

01:13:48.480 So,

01:13:49.160 my question

01:13:50.780 would be,

01:13:51.700 doesn't the

01:13:52.200 United States

01:13:52.820 have the

01:13:53.140 same kind

01:13:53.680 of balancing

01:13:55.940 risk?

01:13:57.060 You don't

01:13:57.620 think the

01:13:58.320 U.S.

01:13:58.660 has hackers

01:13:59.180 that are in

01:13:59.580 all the

01:13:59.820 Chinese

01:14:00.100 systems?

01:14:01.320 I assume

01:14:02.200 they do.

01:14:03.560 So,

01:14:03.880 I think we

01:14:04.260 have a

01:14:04.560 mutual threat

01:14:05.360 there,

01:14:06.700 but maybe

01:14:08.720 that's

01:14:08.940 wishful

01:14:09.240 thinking.

01:14:09.560 anyway,

01:14:12.400 I saw

01:14:12.640 a claim

01:14:13.040 that

01:14:13.400 supermarkets,

01:14:16.860 food markets

01:14:17.460 are 90%

01:14:18.340 owned by

01:14:19.120 just 10

01:14:20.560 companies.

01:14:22.240 Does that

01:14:22.980 sound right?

01:14:23.900 It doesn't

01:14:24.520 sound too

01:14:25.820 far off

01:14:26.480 directionally.

01:14:27.520 I don't

01:14:27.720 know if the

01:14:28.040 exact number

01:14:28.600 is right,

01:14:29.320 but let me

01:14:30.200 tell you

01:14:30.440 something about

01:14:30.880 the food

01:14:31.340 company.

01:14:32.540 The food

01:14:33.340 company is

01:14:34.140 a thoroughly

01:14:35.420 corrupt

01:14:35.880 industry.

01:14:36.380 I worked

01:14:38.600 in it

01:14:38.900 a little

01:14:39.240 bit as

01:14:39.900 I tried

01:14:40.240 to introduce

01:14:41.080 the

01:14:41.320 dill

01:14:41.560 burrito,

01:14:43.040 a burrito

01:14:44.120 that had

01:14:44.560 all the,

01:14:46.780 well,

01:14:47.080 here's two

01:14:47.420 things I

01:14:47.800 learned.

01:14:49.900 Many of

01:14:50.480 you know

01:14:50.720 I tried

01:14:51.040 to create

01:14:51.480 a frozen

01:14:54.180 burrito

01:14:54.940 that would

01:14:55.780 be just

01:14:56.100 the healthiest

01:14:56.700 thing.

01:14:57.120 It would

01:14:57.280 have all

01:14:57.580 the right

01:14:57.860 vitamins

01:14:58.300 and minerals

01:14:58.800 and vegetables

01:14:59.580 in it,

01:15:00.160 and it

01:15:00.540 would taste

01:15:00.880 good.

01:15:01.520 I thought,

01:15:02.180 yeah,

01:15:02.360 why don't

01:15:02.780 we make

01:15:03.180 one food

01:15:03.800 that's

01:15:04.640 convenient,

01:15:05.360 inexpensive,

01:15:05.880 and perfectly

01:15:06.680 healthy?

01:15:07.560 Wouldn't

01:15:07.780 that be

01:15:08.060 great?

01:15:09.360 Then I

01:15:09.780 found out

01:15:10.280 that all

01:15:10.920 the information

01:15:11.500 about vitamins

01:15:12.220 and minerals

01:15:12.800 was fake.

01:15:14.040 It's all

01:15:14.400 fake science.

01:15:15.900 I don't

01:15:16.540 trust even

01:15:18.080 one fact

01:15:20.360 about vitamins

01:15:21.640 and minerals,

01:15:22.460 and I was

01:15:23.560 trying to do

01:15:24.220 that as my

01:15:25.160 competitive

01:15:25.620 advantage,

01:15:26.700 and soon I

01:15:27.480 learned,

01:15:27.760 wait a minute,

01:15:28.180 all the science

01:15:28.760 is made up.

01:15:29.700 It's obviously

01:15:30.260 made up.

01:15:31.020 It's not obvious

01:15:31.700 until you get

01:15:32.220 into it,

01:15:33.340 but every day

01:15:34.280 that I had

01:15:34.860 that business,

01:15:35.480 there'd be

01:15:35.960 a new

01:15:36.280 news story

01:15:36.800 that says,

01:15:37.760 oh,

01:15:38.160 turns out

01:15:38.700 vitamin E

01:15:39.340 can hurt

01:15:39.760 you.

01:15:40.140 I'd be like,

01:15:40.600 what?

01:15:41.900 Oh,

01:15:42.380 but sometimes

01:15:42.940 it helps

01:15:43.360 you.

01:15:43.940 What?

01:15:45.300 You know,

01:15:45.740 maybe pregnant 0.55

01:15:46.940 women need it 1.00

01:15:47.640 or something.

01:15:48.220 What?

01:15:49.340 And I kept

01:15:50.400 finding that

01:15:51.000 all the

01:15:51.380 vitamin stuff

01:15:52.000 was fake.

01:15:53.400 So on top

01:15:54.420 of the fact

01:15:55.020 that the

01:15:56.160 food pyramid

01:15:56.820 was fake,

01:15:58.020 all the

01:15:58.400 vitamin and

01:15:58.960 mineral stuff

01:15:59.460 is fake.

01:15:59.980 on top

01:16:02.200 of that,

01:16:03.460 the supermarket

01:16:04.800 grocery industry

01:16:06.020 is completely

01:16:07.160 corrupt.

01:16:08.060 And I've

01:16:08.280 told you

01:16:08.520 this before.

01:16:09.540 So we

01:16:10.220 were developing

01:16:10.820 a super

01:16:11.780 healthy food,

01:16:12.620 if we did

01:16:13.200 everything right,

01:16:14.140 to compete

01:16:15.260 against really

01:16:16.120 unhealthy crap.

01:16:18.280 But the

01:16:18.800 people who

01:16:19.180 make the

01:16:19.480 unhealthy

01:16:19.820 crap have

01:16:21.460 armies of

01:16:22.840 people who

01:16:23.660 go into

01:16:24.000 every store

01:16:24.940 and make

01:16:25.840 sure their

01:16:26.240 product is

01:16:26.840 well displayed

01:16:27.500 and they

01:16:27.920 answer any

01:16:28.320 questions.

01:16:29.220 Sometimes

01:16:29.660 they even

01:16:30.060 go in the

01:16:30.480 back,

01:16:31.040 they even

01:16:31.560 work for

01:16:32.020 the grocery

01:16:32.840 store in

01:16:33.240 the back.

01:16:34.280 They'll go

01:16:34.600 back there

01:16:35.020 and unpack

01:16:35.640 their own

01:16:36.120 products and

01:16:37.460 bring them

01:16:37.820 and put them

01:16:38.680 on the

01:16:38.940 shelves themselves.

01:16:40.300 So the

01:16:40.800 grocery store

01:16:41.540 lets the

01:16:42.120 vendor stock

01:16:43.960 the shelf

01:16:44.440 with their

01:16:45.540 own products.

01:16:46.780 What do you

01:16:47.340 think when you

01:16:47.880 let the

01:16:48.340 vendor put

01:16:49.140 their own

01:16:49.520 products on

01:16:50.080 your shelf?

01:16:50.580 What do you

01:16:50.820 think they

01:16:51.100 do when they

01:16:51.520 see your

01:16:51.880 product sitting

01:16:52.460 on the

01:16:52.740 shelf next

01:16:53.140 to it?

01:16:54.240 They bury

01:16:54.980 it.

01:16:55.960 They take

01:16:56.640 your product

01:16:57.280 they put

01:16:58.460 it in the

01:16:58.840 back of

01:16:59.300 their product

01:16:59.940 so there'll

01:17:00.880 be two

01:17:01.240 of theirs

01:17:01.580 in front

01:17:02.040 of yours.

01:17:04.520 And if you

01:17:05.120 don't have an

01:17:05.580 army of people

01:17:06.280 to move it

01:17:06.860 back, then

01:17:08.460 you can be

01:17:09.000 in 7-Eleven

01:17:09.900 for six

01:17:10.540 months and

01:17:11.500 have zero

01:17:12.040 sales.

01:17:14.520 That's what

01:17:15.060 I did.

01:17:16.620 Can you

01:17:17.140 imagine selling

01:17:18.260 it to 7-Eleven?

01:17:19.220 It wasn't all

01:17:19.740 of them.

01:17:20.140 It was one

01:17:20.940 subset of

01:17:21.540 7-Eleven.

01:17:22.360 But imagine

01:17:22.920 being in all

01:17:23.500 these stores

01:17:24.140 and when you

01:17:25.720 make that sale

01:17:26.520 you say

01:17:27.020 to yourself

01:17:27.380 yes,

01:17:28.700 finally.

01:17:29.560 Because if

01:17:29.940 only that

01:17:30.600 worked,

01:17:31.680 it would

01:17:32.020 have been

01:17:32.220 cash

01:17:32.540 positive.

01:17:34.240 If only

01:17:35.520 that worked,

01:17:36.400 just the

01:17:36.840 subset of

01:17:38.480 7-Eleven

01:17:39.000 stores,

01:17:39.420 if all

01:17:39.840 they did

01:17:40.200 was just

01:17:40.560 put it

01:17:40.880 on the

01:17:41.160 shelf,

01:17:42.080 it would

01:17:42.960 have been

01:17:43.180 cash

01:17:43.460 positive in

01:17:44.080 the big

01:17:44.360 business.

01:17:45.760 They put

01:17:46.380 it on the

01:17:46.720 shelf and

01:17:47.320 then it

01:17:47.500 got buried.

01:17:48.420 And we

01:17:48.800 know that

01:17:49.200 because we

01:17:49.560 checked a

01:17:49.980 bunch of

01:17:50.360 stores and

01:17:51.320 in 100%

01:17:51.960 of the stores

01:17:52.440 it was buried

01:17:52.960 behind the

01:17:53.440 same

01:17:53.640 product.

01:17:55.400 Craft.

01:17:57.720 So we

01:17:58.680 even know

01:17:58.980 who did

01:17:59.380 it.

01:18:00.520 We know

01:18:00.900 for sure

01:18:01.300 who did

01:18:01.680 it.

01:18:02.660 Didn't

01:18:03.120 help.

01:18:04.260 7-Eleven

01:18:04.780 eventually said

01:18:05.500 we sold

01:18:05.920 zero of

01:18:06.500 your product

01:18:07.060 or something

01:18:07.520 like that.

01:18:08.600 So it

01:18:09.380 didn't work

01:18:09.720 out so we

01:18:10.220 won't carry

01:18:10.600 you.

01:18:11.720 That's a

01:18:12.280 real story.

01:18:13.260 And I

01:18:15.180 could give

01:18:15.560 you other

01:18:15.980 examples but

01:18:16.920 trust me,

01:18:17.760 the food

01:18:18.240 industry is

01:18:19.380 just a

01:18:19.700 criminal

01:18:20.000 enterprise.

01:18:20.600 So if

01:18:21.820 you find

01:18:22.160 out that

01:18:22.520 your food

01:18:23.300 people are

01:18:24.300 selling you

01:18:24.760 poison and

01:18:25.620 they know

01:18:25.940 they're doing

01:18:26.320 it, that

01:18:27.160 would actually

01:18:27.620 fit perfectly

01:18:28.480 with everything

01:18:29.820 I observed.

01:18:30.880 That it

01:18:31.620 looks like a

01:18:32.200 massive criminal

01:18:33.020 enterprise.

01:18:34.160 That's what

01:18:34.460 it looks

01:18:34.700 like.

01:18:37.060 Anyway,

01:18:37.920 Elon Musk

01:18:38.460 is way into

01:18:39.200 British

01:18:40.000 politics.

01:18:41.620 He thinks

01:18:41.980 the government

01:18:42.760 needs to

01:18:44.300 be revised

01:18:45.840 and they

01:18:46.220 need to

01:18:46.680 hold new

01:18:46.960 elections.

01:18:47.500 He said

01:18:47.820 specifically

01:18:48.480 the people

01:18:49.060 of Britain

01:18:49.440 do not

01:18:49.860 want this

01:18:50.240 government

01:18:50.640 at all.

01:18:51.280 New

01:18:51.440 elections.

01:18:52.660 Now, of

01:18:53.020 course, he's

01:18:53.360 being blamed

01:18:53.900 with interfering

01:18:55.180 with British

01:18:56.820 elections.

01:18:57.600 The first

01:18:58.280 thing we

01:18:58.660 would all

01:18:59.000 note is

01:18:59.580 the British

01:19:00.860 government

01:19:01.260 has interfered

01:19:02.080 with American

01:19:02.620 elections

01:19:03.160 repeatedly.

01:19:04.600 So shut

01:19:05.280 up.

01:19:06.660 Shut up. 0.95

01:19:08.820 Is Elon

01:19:09.820 interfering with

01:19:10.940 your elections?

01:19:11.840 I don't care.

01:19:12.880 Shut up. 0.95

01:19:13.880 As long as

01:19:14.680 you're going to

01:19:15.020 interfere with

01:19:15.460 our elections,

01:19:16.380 just shut 0.84

01:19:17.000 up because

01:19:18.080 we're absolutely

01:19:19.020 going to do

01:19:19.540 it to you.

01:19:20.680 Absolutely.

01:19:21.520 And unrepentant.

01:19:23.860 So I'd like

01:19:24.700 to weigh in

01:19:25.280 and I don't

01:19:25.620 know anything

01:19:26.020 about UK

01:19:27.720 politics,

01:19:28.600 but I want

01:19:29.720 them to

01:19:30.060 change their

01:19:30.560 government.

01:19:32.560 I insist.

01:19:35.260 They're not

01:19:35.920 listening to me,

01:19:36.620 so it doesn't

01:19:36.980 make any

01:19:37.320 difference.

01:19:38.260 But no,

01:19:39.160 if you're

01:19:39.640 going to mess

01:19:40.040 with our

01:19:40.440 government,

01:19:40.960 which you

01:19:41.460 do,

01:19:42.260 and we

01:19:42.540 know that

01:19:43.040 from

01:19:43.380 various,

01:19:44.580 everything

01:19:45.040 from the

01:19:45.540 Steele

01:19:45.820 dossier,

01:19:47.380 you know,

01:19:48.440 wink,

01:19:48.760 wink,

01:19:49.640 the Steele

01:19:50.760 dossier

01:19:51.280 to sending

01:19:52.980 people over

01:19:53.520 to help

01:19:53.820 campaign for

01:19:54.640 Kamala Harris,

01:19:56.260 yes,

01:19:56.840 they're all

01:19:57.400 in our

01:19:57.920 business,

01:19:58.660 and other

01:19:59.140 countries are

01:19:59.640 always in

01:20:00.000 our politics

01:20:01.120 one way or

01:20:01.660 another.

01:20:02.340 So no,

01:20:04.060 don't tell us

01:20:05.140 to stop talking

01:20:05.800 about your

01:20:06.180 country,

01:20:06.600 whether it's

01:20:07.060 Elon or me

01:20:07.620 or anybody

01:20:07.940 else.

01:20:08.280 We will

01:20:09.580 interfere as

01:20:11.540 much as

01:20:11.900 we feel

01:20:12.280 like it,

01:20:13.140 as long

01:20:15.120 as you

01:20:15.360 are.

01:20:16.580 And I

01:20:17.140 would ask

01:20:17.460 the question,

01:20:17.940 when does

01:20:18.280 the observation

01:20:19.180 become

01:20:19.600 interference?

01:20:21.200 Because what

01:20:21.800 Elon said

01:20:22.420 is the

01:20:23.040 people of

01:20:23.560 Britain don't 0.98

01:20:24.180 want this

01:20:24.560 government.

01:20:26.540 That's

01:20:27.060 true based

01:20:27.660 on polls.

01:20:29.780 That's a

01:20:30.440 factual

01:20:30.780 statement.

01:20:32.480 The people

01:20:33.280 in the

01:20:33.580 country don't

01:20:34.080 want it.

01:20:35.220 The polls

01:20:35.760 agree,

01:20:37.000 you know,

01:20:37.400 completely.

01:20:37.800 The polls

01:20:38.460 are very

01:20:38.820 overwhelmingly

01:20:39.460 agree with

01:20:40.740 that.

01:20:42.680 So is

01:20:43.160 an observation

01:20:44.060 an

01:20:44.780 interference?

01:20:46.820 Shut up, 0.92

01:20:47.980 Great Britain.

01:20:49.040 Just shut 0.84

01:20:49.520 up.

01:20:50.400 I don't

01:20:50.740 care.

01:20:51.520 I don't

01:20:51.820 care if

01:20:52.100 his observation

01:20:52.920 feels like

01:20:53.540 interference to

01:20:54.240 you.

01:20:54.780 Don't

01:20:55.240 care.

01:20:56.260 Keep it

01:20:56.560 up.

01:20:58.300 But it

01:20:59.900 does raise

01:21:00.440 the question,

01:21:01.260 I wonder

01:21:01.580 if Elon

01:21:02.020 Musk is 0.98

01:21:02.920 sort of a

01:21:04.380 kingmaker

01:21:04.940 for other

01:21:05.520 countries.

01:21:05.960 is it

01:21:07.640 possible

01:21:08.120 that if

01:21:08.900 people think

01:21:09.600 he fixed

01:21:10.520 America

01:21:11.080 by getting

01:21:12.180 Trump in

01:21:12.660 office with

01:21:13.680 Trump's

01:21:14.120 solutions,

01:21:15.220 does it

01:21:16.140 look like

01:21:16.500 he could

01:21:16.760 fix another

01:21:17.360 country?

01:21:18.460 Because

01:21:18.960 honestly,

01:21:19.680 I'll bet

01:21:19.960 the UK

01:21:20.380 is jealous

01:21:20.980 of the

01:21:21.340 United

01:21:21.580 States

01:21:22.100 because we

01:21:23.420 have,

01:21:23.940 we've

01:21:24.820 presented,

01:21:25.520 it hasn't

01:21:25.920 been implemented,

01:21:27.120 but we've

01:21:27.860 presented a

01:21:28.700 completely

01:21:29.160 workable

01:21:29.860 solution for

01:21:30.620 our biggest

01:21:31.040 problems,

01:21:31.560 which is

01:21:33.040 Trump's

01:21:33.420 policies.

01:21:35.160 Now,

01:21:35.880 don't you

01:21:36.660 think the

01:21:37.000 UK would

01:21:37.620 like a

01:21:38.860 really good

01:21:39.360 plan to

01:21:39.920 solve their

01:21:40.360 own problems?

01:21:41.080 And they

01:21:41.340 don't have

01:21:41.760 one.

01:21:43.040 They don't

01:21:43.720 have a

01:21:44.040 Trump.

01:21:45.240 So they

01:21:46.060 don't seem

01:21:46.680 to have any

01:21:47.360 way to

01:21:47.800 recover.

01:21:49.280 And I

01:21:51.100 think that

01:21:51.480 they're beyond

01:21:51.980 what I'll

01:21:52.320 call the

01:21:52.720 cultural

01:21:53.260 tipping point.

01:21:55.320 The cultural

01:21:56.400 tipping point.

01:21:57.700 At some

01:21:58.280 point, if

01:21:59.060 you bring

01:21:59.440 in, let's

01:22:01.240 say, a

01:22:02.060 contrarian or

01:22:03.020 even hostile

01:22:03.760 culture, if

01:22:05.420 you bring in

01:22:05.880 one or two

01:22:06.440 people in a

01:22:07.160 big country,

01:22:08.340 no big

01:22:08.780 deal.

01:22:09.480 If you

01:22:10.120 bring in

01:22:10.700 enough

01:22:11.260 people and

01:22:12.500 they can

01:22:12.800 start forming

01:22:13.500 their own

01:22:13.900 communities

01:22:14.580 within your

01:22:15.180 community so

01:22:16.220 that they

01:22:16.520 have isolated

01:22:17.540 communities that

01:22:18.780 are not

01:22:19.440 acclimating to

01:22:20.520 the rest of

01:22:20.960 the culture,

01:22:22.300 that pretty

01:22:22.900 much guarantees

01:22:23.800 if they're

01:22:24.580 Islamic, if

01:22:25.820 they're bringing

01:22:26.260 fundamental

01:22:27.060 Islamic

01:22:27.800 beliefs,

01:22:28.680 all they

01:22:29.940 have to

01:22:30.120 do is

01:22:30.340 get a

01:22:30.620 foothold.

01:22:32.000 If they

01:22:32.620 get a

01:22:32.960 foothold in

01:22:33.740 the modern

01:22:34.180 world, the

01:22:35.600 only way you

01:22:36.240 could stop

01:22:36.800 it from

01:22:37.400 taking over

01:22:38.040 everything,

01:22:39.080 because it's

01:22:39.620 a viral

01:22:40.460 religion, they 1.00

01:22:42.000 pretty much

01:22:42.940 want to make

01:22:43.480 sure that they

01:22:44.000 convert you or

01:22:44.840 die trying.

01:22:46.260 Not all of

01:22:46.860 them.

01:22:47.040 We're talking

01:22:47.340 about the

01:22:48.180 extremists.

01:22:51.520 That will

01:22:52.520 succeed over

01:22:53.200 time if you

01:22:54.360 live in a

01:22:54.840 system where

01:22:55.400 we don't do

01:22:56.140 cruel, terrible

01:22:57.000 things.

01:22:57.500 Now, Great

01:22:58.680 Britain does 0.93

01:22:59.940 not like to

01:23:00.460 do cruel,

01:23:01.220 terrible things

01:23:01.920 to brown

01:23:02.340 people.

01:23:03.360 It's just a

01:23:04.000 terrible look.

01:23:05.100 So they'll do

01:23:05.880 everything to

01:23:06.460 avoid it.

01:23:07.040 That guarantees

01:23:07.860 the end of

01:23:08.500 England.

01:23:09.600 It guarantees

01:23:10.400 it.

01:23:11.440 And I don't

01:23:12.180 see anything

01:23:12.600 changing.

01:23:13.400 So it looks

01:23:14.320 like no matter

01:23:15.380 how small the

01:23:16.180 foothold is,

01:23:17.440 don't hit me

01:23:18.080 with any

01:23:18.520 statistics like,

01:23:19.860 but Scott,

01:23:20.920 don't you

01:23:21.380 realize that

01:23:22.180 they only make

01:23:22.680 2% of the

01:23:23.760 whole country?

01:23:24.980 It doesn't

01:23:25.540 make any

01:23:25.840 difference.

01:23:26.940 If all of

01:23:27.980 them are in

01:23:28.520 a few central

01:23:29.560 metropolitan

01:23:30.260 areas, they

01:23:31.800 will eventually

01:23:32.340 control the

01:23:33.160 metropolitan

01:23:33.580 areas.

01:23:34.720 And then it

01:23:35.480 just spreads

01:23:36.020 from there.

01:23:37.140 So now, if

01:23:38.060 it's 2%, but

01:23:40.060 they're all

01:23:40.380 concentrated where

01:23:41.260 they can group

01:23:42.120 and keep their

01:23:42.760 culture intact

01:23:43.680 and use it to

01:23:45.540 work against

01:23:46.160 others around

01:23:47.300 them, you're

01:23:48.820 dead.

01:23:50.100 Do you know

01:23:50.540 what the solution

01:23:51.180 is?

01:23:52.460 It's called

01:23:52.900 the Uyghurs 1.00

01:23:53.620 in China.

01:23:54.820 I'm not

01:23:55.200 recommending it.

01:23:56.740 Because if I

01:23:57.580 recommended it, I

01:23:58.440 would be as

01:23:59.020 bad as China. 0.93

01:24:00.280 But China

01:24:00.720 basically says

01:24:01.620 we're not

01:24:02.100 going to have

01:24:02.400 any Islamic

01:24:02.960 people in

01:24:03.500 China.

01:24:04.340 It's a

01:24:04.820 viral, dangerous

01:24:05.920 religion.

01:24:06.740 It doesn't

01:24:07.140 fit with our

01:24:07.760 system.

01:24:08.660 And we're

01:24:08.980 just going to

01:24:09.300 put you in

01:24:09.680 concentration

01:24:10.160 camps and

01:24:10.840 essentially

01:24:11.500 sterilize you

01:24:12.760 effectively.

01:24:14.520 Now, am I

01:24:15.180 in favor of

01:24:15.700 that?

01:24:15.920 No way.

01:24:17.080 Because nobody

01:24:17.860 who's a good

01:24:18.980 person could be

01:24:20.320 in favor of

01:24:20.840 that.

01:24:23.920 But what if

01:24:25.920 he didn't have

01:24:26.300 any choice?

01:24:28.880 Great Britain is

01:24:29.820 beyond the

01:24:30.360 point where it's

01:24:31.140 fixable.

01:24:32.120 I will tell you

01:24:33.260 with fair

01:24:34.280 confidence that

01:24:36.140 Great Britain

01:24:36.580 will fall.

01:24:37.360 It will just

01:24:37.720 become an

01:24:38.140 Islamic country.

01:24:39.400 And they did

01:24:40.200 it to themselves,

01:24:41.680 completely self

01:24:42.560 inflicted.

01:24:43.380 The United

01:24:43.920 States might

01:24:44.680 have had the

01:24:45.080 same fate.

01:24:47.180 But I think

01:24:48.160 that the Trump

01:24:48.860 administration,

01:24:49.540 who has

01:24:50.420 never said

01:24:50.920 this, by

01:24:51.320 the way,

01:24:52.220 but when

01:24:53.180 they do

01:24:53.480 the order

01:24:54.100 of deportations,

01:24:55.680 they say

01:24:56.260 quite wisely

01:24:57.280 and smartly

01:24:58.020 that, hey,

01:24:59.200 let us focus

01:24:59.920 on the

01:25:00.360 illegals.

01:25:01.620 And then

01:25:02.240 we'll figure

01:25:02.740 out, you

01:25:03.880 know, who

01:25:04.160 goes after

01:25:04.640 that.

01:25:05.500 Now, who

01:25:06.200 goes after

01:25:06.700 the people

01:25:07.200 who are

01:25:07.460 literally

01:25:07.780 criminals?

01:25:08.760 What's

01:25:09.100 next?

01:25:10.620 Well, here's

01:25:12.160 where it gets

01:25:12.580 dicey.

01:25:13.080 if it were

01:25:14.880 up to

01:25:15.180 me, I

01:25:16.400 would ship

01:25:16.920 people back

01:25:17.560 based on

01:25:18.200 cultural

01:25:19.040 non-fit.

01:25:21.660 So if

01:25:22.100 somebody was

01:25:22.600 illegal, but

01:25:24.040 they're also a

01:25:24.980 member of a

01:25:25.460 culture that

01:25:26.080 is hostile to

01:25:26.980 our culture,

01:25:28.180 they go back

01:25:28.740 first.

01:25:29.880 Would that be

01:25:30.560 gross racial 0.86

01:25:31.560 discrimination?

01:25:32.740 Yes, it

01:25:33.100 would.

01:25:35.280 But it

01:25:35.900 would also be

01:25:36.380 self-defense.

01:25:37.640 And in the

01:25:38.480 context of

01:25:39.080 self-defense,

01:25:40.040 totally

01:25:40.300 acceptable.

01:25:40.740 In personal

01:25:43.720 interaction,

01:25:45.180 completely

01:25:45.520 unacceptable.

01:25:47.180 And certainly

01:25:47.800 if you're

01:25:48.140 hiring or

01:25:48.860 firing,

01:25:49.360 completely

01:25:49.740 unacceptable.

01:25:51.880 But when

01:25:52.640 you talk about

01:25:53.120 national defense,

01:25:54.580 yeah, you

01:25:55.060 can do

01:25:55.280 anything you

01:25:55.640 want.

01:25:56.000 There are

01:25:56.200 no rules

01:25:56.640 for defense.

01:25:57.860 If you're

01:25:58.600 literally

01:25:58.920 defending

01:25:59.440 yourself

01:25:59.860 against a

01:26:00.400 risk,

01:26:01.080 there's no

01:26:02.000 ethical or

01:26:02.600 moral

01:26:02.980 anything.

01:26:04.620 But we

01:26:05.460 will act

01:26:06.080 like there

01:26:06.480 is.

01:26:08.000 And so

01:26:08.440 I don't

01:26:09.780 imagine that

01:26:10.540 Trump could

01:26:10.960 get away

01:26:11.340 with it.

01:26:12.960 But it's

01:26:13.620 the conversation

01:26:14.400 that needs

01:26:14.960 to be had.

01:26:16.180 Should we

01:26:16.680 decide who

01:26:18.100 will destroy

01:26:18.820 the United

01:26:19.340 States the

01:26:19.920 way Great

01:26:20.840 Britain is 0.61

01:26:21.260 certain to

01:26:22.040 fall at

01:26:22.420 this point?

01:26:23.460 Do we

01:26:24.000 want that

01:26:24.360 fate?

01:26:25.380 Because if

01:26:25.860 we don't,

01:26:26.440 there's

01:26:26.700 literally one

01:26:27.420 way to

01:26:27.780 deal with

01:26:28.520 it.

01:26:29.140 You'd have

01:26:29.520 to ship

01:26:29.860 back all

01:26:30.640 recent

01:26:31.280 non-legal

01:26:33.340 immigrants who

01:26:35.080 came from

01:26:35.480 certain parts

01:26:36.020 of the world.

01:26:36.420 You'd have

01:26:36.680 to do them

01:26:37.020 all.

01:26:37.640 Just get

01:26:38.040 rid of

01:26:38.280 everybody who

01:26:38.900 is not a

01:26:39.280 citizen who

01:26:40.300 came from

01:26:40.860 the wrong

01:26:41.360 part of

01:26:41.660 the world.

01:26:44.140 You'd want

01:26:44.700 to make

01:26:44.920 sure that

01:26:45.280 you

01:26:45.380 discriminated

01:26:46.040 as little

01:26:47.100 as possible

01:26:47.780 against

01:26:48.320 American

01:26:48.800 citizens and

01:26:49.760 against

01:26:50.040 non-radicalized

01:26:51.020 people because

01:26:52.220 it would be a

01:26:52.800 horrible,

01:26:53.280 horrible thing.

01:26:54.140 But it

01:26:54.680 might be the

01:26:55.080 only thing.

01:26:56.080 It might be

01:26:56.800 the only thing

01:26:57.400 that saves

01:26:57.780 the country.

01:26:59.040 And I

01:26:59.860 feel like the

01:27:00.820 big problem

01:27:01.260 is that we're

01:27:01.720 afraid to

01:27:02.280 say that

01:27:03.640 ideas matter.

01:27:04.640 if you

01:27:06.640 put people

01:27:07.400 who want

01:27:07.800 to get

01:27:08.020 along with

01:27:09.100 a bunch

01:27:09.380 of people

01:27:09.760 who don't

01:27:10.160 want to

01:27:10.400 get along

01:27:10.900 and want

01:27:13.140 to conquer

01:27:13.500 you,

01:27:14.660 that needs

01:27:17.020 to be

01:27:17.340 discussed.

01:27:18.640 You can't

01:27:19.240 just act

01:27:19.600 like it's

01:27:19.940 not there.

01:27:21.700 And you

01:27:22.260 can't say,

01:27:22.980 but, but,

01:27:23.500 it would be

01:27:23.960 discriminating

01:27:24.660 because most

01:27:25.860 are not,

01:27:27.060 you know,

01:27:27.320 most immigrants

01:27:29.580 who came to

01:27:30.100 this country

01:27:30.560 from those

01:27:31.240 countries

01:27:31.600 probably just

01:27:32.800 wanted a

01:27:33.260 better life.

01:27:34.300 Probably not

01:27:35.040 in any,

01:27:35.440 in any kind

01:27:36.340 of bad

01:27:36.660 business at

01:27:37.220 all.

01:27:38.300 But I

01:27:38.880 don't care.

01:27:40.540 Don't really

01:27:41.180 care.

01:27:41.980 What I care

01:27:42.800 about is that

01:27:43.600 we don't go

01:27:44.080 the direction

01:27:44.640 of the United

01:27:45.260 Kingdom and

01:27:45.980 be doomed.

01:27:47.440 And there is

01:27:48.320 a way to

01:27:48.700 prevent it.

01:27:49.480 It just

01:27:49.880 would require

01:27:50.560 somebody with

01:27:52.400 balls the

01:27:53.140 size of,

01:27:53.840 the size of

01:27:55.100 Mar-a-Lago

01:27:55.560 to get it

01:27:56.080 done.

01:27:56.600 I don't know

01:27:57.100 if he can do

01:27:57.540 it.

01:27:58.440 It might be

01:27:58.880 a step too

01:27:59.520 far.

01:28:00.140 But I,

01:28:00.600 I would go

01:28:01.280 crime first

01:28:02.360 and

01:28:03.420 culture,

01:28:04.320 cultural fit

01:28:05.660 second.

01:28:07.840 So now

01:28:08.480 it's out

01:28:08.820 there.

01:28:10.460 So this

01:28:11.400 is one of

01:28:11.760 the things

01:28:12.040 I can do

01:28:12.460 because I'm

01:28:12.940 canceled.

01:28:13.860 You know,

01:28:14.380 I can't get

01:28:14.840 further canceled

01:28:15.600 than I am.

01:28:16.580 So I can

01:28:17.440 say what

01:28:18.900 the government

01:28:19.480 can't say

01:28:20.540 and shouldn't

01:28:21.000 say,

01:28:21.540 which is who

01:28:22.360 is second

01:28:22.820 after you

01:28:23.740 get the

01:28:24.200 known

01:28:24.840 criminals.

01:28:25.840 So of

01:28:26.520 course you

01:28:26.960 want to

01:28:27.120 get the

01:28:27.380 Venezuelan

01:28:27.960 gangs.

01:28:29.060 You want to

01:28:29.720 get the

01:28:30.080 murderers and

01:28:30.760 the rapists

01:28:31.260 and stuff.

01:28:31.900 Of course.

01:28:33.660 But we

01:28:34.360 need to

01:28:35.240 be at

01:28:37.240 least a

01:28:37.620 little aware

01:28:38.180 of what

01:28:38.480 the second

01:28:39.120 wave would

01:28:39.800 be.

01:28:41.280 And I

01:28:41.960 would get

01:28:42.300 rid of

01:28:42.840 anybody who

01:28:44.360 wasn't

01:28:44.600 culturally

01:28:45.020 compatible

01:28:45.520 and was

01:28:47.160 recent.

01:28:47.900 Yeah,

01:28:48.040 I wouldn't

01:28:48.340 obviously

01:28:48.900 definitely

01:28:50.240 don't deport 0.86

01:28:51.000 any citizens

01:28:51.760 of the United

01:28:52.340 States.

01:28:53.600 And if

01:28:54.500 there's some

01:28:54.920 way to tell

01:28:55.400 who's not

01:28:55.920 radicalized,

01:28:56.940 then definitely

01:28:57.920 like to keep

01:28:58.600 them.

01:28:59.720 But if

01:29:01.740 you don't

01:29:02.060 know if

01:29:02.360 they're

01:29:02.500 radicalized

01:29:03.260 and they

01:29:03.620 came from

01:29:04.000 a certain

01:29:04.340 part of

01:29:04.660 the country

01:29:05.080 and they're

01:29:05.680 not citizens

01:29:06.500 and they're

01:29:06.980 not here

01:29:07.500 legally,

01:29:09.540 yeah,

01:29:09.940 they've got

01:29:10.400 to go

01:29:10.620 next.

01:29:12.980 Everybody

01:29:13.420 agree?

01:29:15.620 And somebody

01:29:16.360 has to say

01:29:16.840 it out loud.

01:29:18.400 Because I've

01:29:19.280 told you before

01:29:19.880 that persuasion

01:29:20.920 wise,

01:29:22.060 sometimes you

01:29:22.940 need the

01:29:23.360 person who

01:29:23.820 goes first

01:29:24.600 and just

01:29:25.420 says the

01:29:25.800 thing that

01:29:26.100 gets you

01:29:26.380 canceled

01:29:26.720 for sure.

01:29:27.940 This is

01:29:28.600 like

01:29:28.860 cancel bait. 0.98

01:29:29.880 If I

01:29:30.180 were not

01:29:30.480 already

01:29:30.820 canceled,

01:29:31.620 I would

01:29:33.020 get canceled

01:29:33.500 for this.

01:29:34.260 Would you

01:29:34.620 agree?

01:29:35.600 This is

01:29:36.240 total

01:29:36.480 cancel bait. 0.98

01:29:38.100 But what's

01:29:38.760 the point?

01:29:39.140 I'm already

01:29:39.400 canceled.

01:29:41.060 But again,

01:29:42.780 I'm completely

01:29:44.020 against

01:29:44.480 discrimination

01:29:45.600 in any

01:29:46.300 personal,

01:29:47.640 professional,

01:29:49.220 you know,

01:29:50.160 in-person

01:29:50.700 way.

01:29:51.800 Totally

01:29:52.240 against that.

01:29:53.200 But self

01:29:54.640 defense,

01:29:55.660 different

01:29:56.140 standards.

01:29:57.720 No rules

01:29:58.240 for self

01:29:58.620 defense.

01:29:59.660 Claudia was

01:30:00.240 leaving for

01:30:00.660 her pickleball

01:30:01.240 tournament.

01:30:01.820 I've been

01:30:02.040 visualizing my

01:30:02.840 match all

01:30:03.500 week.

01:30:04.380 She was so

01:30:04.900 focused on

01:30:05.400 visualizing that

01:30:06.280 she didn't see

01:30:06.880 the column behind

01:30:07.540 her car on

01:30:08.320 her backhand 0.98

01:30:08.860 side.

01:30:10.260 Good thing

01:30:11.000 Claudia's with

01:30:11.620 Intact, the

01:30:12.440 insurer with

01:30:13.040 the largest

01:30:13.520 network of

01:30:14.100 auto service

01:30:14.580 centers in

01:30:15.220 the country.

01:30:16.020 Everything was

01:30:16.560 taken care of

01:30:17.180 under one

01:30:17.660 roof and she 0.79

01:30:18.300 was on her

01:30:18.720 way in a

01:30:19.080 rental car in

01:30:19.840 no time.

01:30:20.500 I made it to

01:30:21.200 my tournament

01:30:21.800 and lost in

01:30:23.020 the first

01:30:23.300 round.

01:30:23.960 But you

01:30:24.520 got there

01:30:24.960 on time.

01:30:25.780 Intact

01:30:26.120 Insurance,

01:30:26.960 your auto

01:30:27.340 service ace.

01:30:28.400 Certain conditions

01:30:28.960 apply.

01:30:30.360 All right.

01:30:31.800 Here's some

01:30:32.340 science things

01:30:33.260 to round

01:30:33.620 things out.

01:30:34.820 According to

01:30:35.260 Reichman

01:30:35.740 University,

01:30:36.920 people who

01:30:37.420 can see the

01:30:38.240 big picture

01:30:38.820 and are

01:30:40.600 good at

01:30:40.980 storytelling

01:30:41.700 have more

01:30:43.380 meaningful

01:30:43.860 lives.

01:30:45.480 So people

01:30:46.280 who think of

01:30:46.940 things in

01:30:47.340 terms of

01:30:47.720 stories and

01:30:48.300 can tell

01:30:48.620 stories have

01:30:49.140 more meaningful

01:30:49.880 lives.

01:30:51.760 I can see

01:30:52.560 that.

01:30:53.480 Because

01:30:53.920 storytelling,

01:30:55.900 especially,

01:30:58.300 it just

01:30:58.780 seems that

01:30:59.180 people who

01:30:59.680 can see

01:31:00.920 things as

01:31:01.500 stories would

01:31:03.640 ordinarily find

01:31:04.540 more meaning.

01:31:05.460 If you don't

01:31:06.200 see the story,

01:31:07.240 then you just

01:31:08.080 see what you're

01:31:08.580 doing, which

01:31:09.360 might be

01:31:09.740 drudgery.

01:31:10.900 And that

01:31:11.500 doesn't make

01:31:11.940 you too

01:31:12.180 happy.

01:31:13.020 But if you

01:31:13.720 see the

01:31:14.100 drudgery

01:31:14.500 you're doing

01:31:15.120 as connected

01:31:15.780 to the

01:31:16.180 larger story

01:31:16.960 of your

01:31:17.320 life,

01:31:19.100 that can

01:31:19.880 give you

01:31:20.320 some meaning.

01:31:21.740 So I

01:31:22.740 look at the

01:31:23.220 times in

01:31:23.680 my life

01:31:24.100 where I

01:31:24.380 did horrible

01:31:25.280 work.

01:31:26.500 I mean,

01:31:26.820 the work

01:31:27.120 was hard

01:31:27.740 and unsatisfying,

01:31:29.400 but as long

01:31:30.260 as it was

01:31:31.000 moving me

01:31:31.680 along my

01:31:32.300 storyline,

01:31:33.240 I was

01:31:34.120 fine with

01:31:34.500 it.

01:31:35.580 So, you

01:31:36.420 know,

01:31:36.560 college,

01:31:37.160 college

01:31:37.600 classes I

01:31:38.300 found,

01:31:38.900 you know,

01:31:39.620 largely

01:31:40.040 uninteresting

01:31:40.940 and drudgery,

01:31:42.740 but I knew

01:31:44.100 I needed it.

01:31:45.600 So I

01:31:46.060 always was

01:31:46.800 enthusiastically

01:31:47.680 embracing the

01:31:48.440 challenge because

01:31:49.100 it was part of

01:31:49.560 my story.

01:31:50.820 Now, I've

01:31:51.460 told you the

01:31:52.560 Prisoner Island

01:31:54.180 story.

01:31:55.720 It's good to

01:31:56.520 have a story

01:31:57.300 of yourself

01:31:58.080 and then make

01:31:59.560 yourself conform

01:32:00.340 to it.

01:32:01.480 So I've got a

01:32:02.300 couple of

01:32:02.600 stories.

01:32:02.960 One is that I

01:32:03.660 always win in

01:32:04.340 the end,

01:32:05.540 which is not

01:32:06.500 literally true.

01:32:08.560 But as long

01:32:09.320 as I tell

01:32:09.780 myself that

01:32:10.440 story, when

01:32:11.100 bad things

01:32:11.660 happen to me,

01:32:12.340 I just say,

01:32:14.020 well, I've

01:32:14.820 seen the

01:32:15.180 story and

01:32:16.300 the story is

01:32:16.920 I fix this

01:32:17.580 in the end.

01:32:18.640 Turns out I

01:32:19.220 usually do.

01:32:20.120 I usually do

01:32:21.100 fix my

01:32:21.580 problems in

01:32:22.100 the end.

01:32:23.200 So, you

01:32:23.980 know, it's

01:32:24.540 easy to

01:32:25.020 convince myself.

01:32:26.240 And then I

01:32:26.560 use the

01:32:26.880 Prisoner Island

01:32:27.660 example.

01:32:28.760 You've heard

01:32:29.080 it before.

01:32:30.200 But the

01:32:30.980 idea is that

01:32:31.800 you imagine

01:32:32.600 you're dropped

01:32:34.440 on a

01:32:34.800 Prisoner Island

01:32:35.460 and there's

01:32:36.020 no law,

01:32:36.640 there's no

01:32:36.980 warden, and

01:32:38.040 on day one

01:32:38.680 all of the

01:32:40.560 bad prisoners

01:32:41.260 who are already

01:32:41.780 there beat

01:32:42.280 me up, steal

01:32:43.860 everything I

01:32:44.400 have, and

01:32:44.780 leave me for

01:32:45.260 dead.

01:32:46.680 Because, of

01:32:47.260 course, they're

01:32:47.720 bigger and

01:32:48.340 meaner and

01:32:48.880 there are more

01:32:49.280 of them.

01:32:50.560 On day two,

01:32:51.580 they beat me

01:32:52.940 up again and

01:32:53.580 it's even

01:32:54.360 worse.

01:32:56.020 Day three,

01:32:56.840 same thing.

01:32:57.340 Day four,

01:32:57.840 same thing.

01:32:58.980 But if you

01:32:59.660 come back in

01:33:00.220 a year, I

01:33:02.100 will have

01:33:02.520 killed every

01:33:03.220 one of them

01:33:03.700 and I will

01:33:04.420 be ruling

01:33:04.900 the island.

01:33:06.720 Now, that's

01:33:07.120 called escape

01:33:07.760 from Prisoner

01:33:08.400 Island.

01:33:09.860 And what I

01:33:11.000 find is

01:33:11.680 that it

01:33:13.880 helps me

01:33:14.540 understand

01:33:15.240 myself or

01:33:16.100 really program

01:33:17.040 myself.

01:33:17.840 It programs

01:33:18.680 me to say,

01:33:19.540 it doesn't

01:33:20.360 matter what

01:33:20.780 you have to

01:33:21.240 do, you're

01:33:22.800 going to do

01:33:23.120 it.

01:33:23.800 It doesn't

01:33:24.460 matter how

01:33:24.860 hard it is,

01:33:26.240 you're still

01:33:26.720 going to do

01:33:27.140 it.

01:33:27.760 It doesn't

01:33:28.300 matter how

01:33:28.700 badly beaten

01:33:30.540 you are,

01:33:31.620 you're still

01:33:32.200 going to win.

01:33:33.060 It doesn't

01:33:33.640 matter how

01:33:34.000 many times

01:33:34.640 they beat

01:33:34.980 you up,

01:33:36.060 you're going

01:33:36.820 to get them

01:33:37.200 in the end.

01:33:38.420 Now, again,

01:33:39.140 it's not

01:33:39.480 technically true

01:33:40.300 that I'm

01:33:40.660 going to

01:33:40.820 win in

01:33:41.120 the end

01:33:41.340 all the

01:33:41.620 time,

01:33:42.220 but I

01:33:43.080 treat my

01:33:43.640 life as

01:33:45.160 that story

01:33:45.880 and it's a

01:33:46.680 recurring one.

01:33:47.360 Every time

01:33:47.700 something bad

01:33:48.740 happens, there

01:33:50.000 you are,

01:33:50.340 Prisoner

01:33:50.740 Island.

01:33:52.320 So imagine

01:33:53.280 how good

01:33:53.840 that feels

01:33:54.460 when something

01:33:55.180 bad happens

01:33:55.920 to you,

01:33:56.260 whether it's

01:33:56.640 a divorce

01:33:57.280 or, in

01:34:00.040 my case,

01:34:00.500 getting canceled.

01:34:01.640 I just go

01:34:02.440 right to

01:34:02.760 Prisoner

01:34:03.160 Island.

01:34:04.060 I go,

01:34:04.400 yep, you

01:34:05.600 beat me up

01:34:06.140 and left me

01:34:06.620 for dead.

01:34:07.980 Let's check

01:34:08.680 back next

01:34:09.180 year.

01:34:10.300 A year

01:34:10.960 after I

01:34:11.380 got canceled,

01:34:12.660 I had

01:34:12.960 built an

01:34:13.400 entirely new

01:34:14.220 distribution

01:34:14.780 system and

01:34:15.600 was happier

01:34:16.080 than I've

01:34:16.500 ever been

01:34:17.040 in terms

01:34:18.780 of my

01:34:19.720 creative

01:34:20.400 work.

01:34:22.860 It's just

01:34:23.540 ideal.

01:34:24.400 My current

01:34:24.820 situation is

01:34:25.580 so much

01:34:26.260 better than

01:34:27.380 before I

01:34:27.840 was canceled.

01:34:28.980 That's

01:34:29.340 Escape from

01:34:29.920 Prisoner

01:34:30.340 Island.

01:34:31.240 So whether

01:34:31.620 you use that

01:34:32.140 story or

01:34:32.600 some other

01:34:33.020 story, you

01:34:33.620 should have

01:34:33.880 a story.

01:34:35.320 Have a

01:34:35.980 story for

01:34:36.460 yourself.

01:34:37.060 where you

01:34:37.340 win, and

01:34:38.460 then just

01:34:38.840 keep plugging

01:34:39.440 yourself into

01:34:40.060 the story.

01:34:40.680 It will

01:34:41.000 help.

01:34:44.860 Let's see,

01:34:45.560 what else?

01:34:47.260 According to

01:34:48.000 Cy Post and

01:34:49.660 Vladimir Hedry,

01:34:51.840 people who

01:34:52.560 know two

01:34:53.020 languages might

01:34:54.260 have more

01:34:54.660 protection against

01:34:55.480 Alzheimer

01:34:56.000 progression, to

01:34:57.720 which I

01:34:58.080 say, you

01:34:59.340 could have

01:34:59.540 just asked

01:35:00.000 me, because

01:35:01.960 don't we have

01:35:02.800 plenty of

01:35:03.340 science that

01:35:03.920 says the

01:35:04.280 more you

01:35:04.660 use your

01:35:05.040 brain, the

01:35:06.740 more protection

01:35:07.360 you have

01:35:07.820 against all

01:35:09.680 forms of

01:35:10.500 losing your

01:35:11.080 cognitive

01:35:11.540 ability.

01:35:13.440 So knowing

01:35:14.180 two languages

01:35:14.860 would be

01:35:15.620 evidence that

01:35:16.340 you've used

01:35:16.780 your brain

01:35:17.140 more than

01:35:17.540 somebody who

01:35:18.040 knows one

01:35:18.460 language, which

01:35:19.260 would be

01:35:20.100 right on

01:35:20.560 point with

01:35:21.380 being a

01:35:22.640 protective thing

01:35:23.360 against any

01:35:25.000 kind of

01:35:25.360 mental decline.

01:35:27.100 So next

01:35:27.460 time, just

01:35:27.800 ask me.

01:35:28.160 Eric Dolan

01:35:31.860 writes for

01:35:32.260 Cy Post, he

01:35:33.000 says, oxytocin

01:35:34.840 influences moral

01:35:35.940 emotion decision

01:35:37.160 making.

01:35:37.760 So oxytocin is

01:35:38.800 the chemical

01:35:40.200 your brain or

01:35:41.460 your body

01:35:41.900 creates when

01:35:43.040 you're in

01:35:44.180 personal contact

01:35:45.340 and intimate

01:35:46.580 situations and

01:35:47.460 stuff.

01:35:47.800 It makes you

01:35:48.360 feel love and

01:35:49.200 connection to

01:35:50.200 things.

01:35:51.040 But they

01:35:51.380 found if they

01:35:51.840 give it to

01:35:52.220 you artificially

01:35:53.040 that you

01:35:54.700 will have

01:35:55.300 greater moral

01:35:57.620 behavior,

01:35:58.240 basically.

01:35:59.100 It makes you

01:36:00.040 feel shame

01:36:00.940 more and

01:36:01.820 makes you

01:36:02.200 care more

01:36:02.760 about harming

01:36:03.400 other people.

01:36:03.980 So basically

01:36:04.460 you just

01:36:05.440 love your

01:36:06.000 fellow human

01:36:07.240 beings a

01:36:07.660 little bit if

01:36:08.080 you're on

01:36:08.340 this drug.

01:36:10.540 And my

01:36:11.780 takeaway from

01:36:12.460 this is

01:36:13.080 science has

01:36:15.020 a million

01:36:15.500 ways to

01:36:16.900 tell us you

01:36:17.480 don't have

01:36:17.920 free will.

01:36:19.640 And 98%

01:36:21.020 of you are

01:36:21.600 not getting

01:36:22.020 the hint.

01:36:22.440 I'll just

01:36:25.360 say this

01:36:25.780 because I

01:36:26.120 love saying

01:36:26.660 it and

01:36:27.140 watching people

01:36:27.920 not accept

01:36:29.600 it.

01:36:31.120 If you can

01:36:31.900 change people's

01:36:32.800 decisions with

01:36:34.340 a drug,

01:36:35.440 they don't

01:36:36.400 have free

01:36:36.820 will.

01:36:38.420 Now I know

01:36:39.180 you're going

01:36:39.480 to use word

01:36:40.020 thinking and

01:36:40.760 say, but I

01:36:41.820 have free

01:36:42.200 will because I

01:36:42.720 can choose.

01:36:43.980 And they'll

01:36:44.320 say, all you

01:36:45.180 did is substitute

01:36:45.800 a word.

01:36:47.620 And they'll

01:36:47.960 say, but 1.00

01:36:48.280 Scott, there

01:36:49.340 are lots of

01:36:49.740 things I could

01:36:50.260 have done, but

01:36:51.000 I only chose

01:36:51.660 one.

01:36:52.700 That's

01:36:53.100 free will.

01:36:53.780 And I

01:36:53.900 would say, no,

01:36:54.400 you just put

01:36:55.420 a word in

01:36:56.260 place of

01:36:56.880 it.

01:36:59.120 Unless you

01:36:59.780 think that

01:37:00.140 the rules

01:37:00.740 of cause

01:37:02.200 and effect

01:37:02.780 and the

01:37:03.300 rules of

01:37:03.680 physics don't 0.50

01:37:04.940 apply to

01:37:05.920 your brain.

01:37:08.400 I don't know

01:37:09.300 why you think

01:37:09.780 that that

01:37:10.080 wouldn't apply

01:37:10.480 to your

01:37:10.700 brain.

01:37:11.840 No, you

01:37:12.240 don't have

01:37:12.540 free will.

01:37:13.180 Science keeps

01:37:13.840 trying to

01:37:14.200 tell us, but

01:37:14.700 we reject

01:37:15.240 it.

01:37:15.420 there's

01:37:17.760 some kind

01:37:18.100 of new

01:37:18.520 nanopore

01:37:20.140 based sensor

01:37:20.960 that can

01:37:22.000 diagnose your

01:37:22.640 health.

01:37:23.640 So instead

01:37:23.960 of looking

01:37:24.380 at lots

01:37:25.020 of cells,

01:37:25.620 like lots

01:37:26.040 of blood

01:37:26.560 samples or

01:37:27.160 something,

01:37:28.060 they think

01:37:28.720 they can

01:37:29.040 get a,

01:37:29.760 they don't

01:37:30.260 have it

01:37:30.560 finished yet,

01:37:31.200 but a

01:37:32.340 detector,

01:37:34.400 they could

01:37:34.820 look at

01:37:35.220 one,

01:37:36.240 one,

01:37:37.760 let's see,

01:37:39.980 one what?

01:37:40.420 one molecule.

01:37:44.320 They can

01:37:44.780 look at

01:37:45.080 one molecule

01:37:45.980 from your

01:37:46.560 body and

01:37:47.340 diagnose your

01:37:48.920 health problems.

01:37:51.340 Now,

01:37:51.900 whether or

01:37:52.600 not this

01:37:52.960 ever works,

01:37:54.260 this is by,

01:37:55.160 let's see,

01:37:56.640 it's in

01:37:57.260 Riverside,

01:37:57.960 University of

01:37:58.600 California,

01:37:59.120 Jules

01:37:59.440 Bernstein's

01:38:00.160 writing about

01:38:00.560 it.

01:38:02.140 But whether

01:38:03.120 or not that

01:38:03.620 works,

01:38:04.460 and they can

01:38:05.060 diagnose you

01:38:06.220 with one

01:38:06.580 molecule or

01:38:07.200 not,

01:38:07.680 there's going

01:38:08.080 to be a

01:38:08.400 whole bunch

01:38:09.000 of diagnostic

01:38:09.900 devices that

01:38:11.640 will be

01:38:11.980 desktop and

01:38:13.780 consumer

01:38:14.600 friendly.

01:38:15.620 So you'll

01:38:16.320 just have

01:38:16.680 something on

01:38:17.300 your desk

01:38:17.840 that you'll

01:38:18.640 stick your

01:38:19.220 finger in,

01:38:19.860 it'll take

01:38:20.260 a prick,

01:38:21.100 or take

01:38:21.840 one molecule

01:38:22.500 in this

01:38:22.900 case,

01:38:23.720 and it'll

01:38:24.100 tell you

01:38:24.560 all kinds

01:38:25.040 of things.

01:38:25.540 Now,

01:38:25.700 what do

01:38:25.860 you do

01:38:26.080 about it?

01:38:26.720 Suppose you

01:38:27.300 diagnose

01:38:27.820 yourself,

01:38:28.500 take your

01:38:29.100 blood test,

01:38:30.100 you found

01:38:30.460 you got a

01:38:30.780 bad problem.

01:38:31.580 Well,

01:38:32.180 I think

01:38:33.080 the future

01:38:33.680 is nurse

01:38:35.520 practitioners

01:38:36.320 plus AI.

01:38:37.680 I think

01:38:39.260 AI will

01:38:39.900 be your

01:38:40.260 doctor,

01:38:41.100 but sometimes

01:38:41.920 you need

01:38:42.400 to be

01:38:42.700 physically

01:38:43.260 manipulated,

01:38:44.180 such as

01:38:44.620 a bandage

01:38:45.240 put on,

01:38:46.040 or an

01:38:47.040 injury

01:38:47.320 cleaned,

01:38:48.160 or stitches,

01:38:48.840 or something

01:38:49.100 like that.

01:38:49.800 So I

01:38:50.080 think you'll

01:38:50.880 have nurse 0.60

01:38:51.360 practitioners

01:38:52.040 doing the

01:38:53.380 physical part

01:38:54.280 that the

01:38:55.420 AI doctor

01:38:56.380 said should

01:38:57.840 be done.

01:38:58.760 Because we

01:38:59.840 know we're

01:39:00.300 at the cusp

01:39:01.060 where the

01:39:01.720 AI doctor

01:39:02.560 is going

01:39:02.960 to be

01:39:03.120 better than

01:39:03.640 the real

01:39:04.080 doctor any

01:39:06.100 minute now.

01:39:07.680 I mean,

01:39:08.240 at the

01:39:08.480 moment it

01:39:08.820 might be

01:39:09.100 a tie.

01:39:11.520 And I

01:39:12.460 believe AI

01:39:13.040 already

01:39:13.760 outperforms

01:39:14.580 doctors reading

01:39:16.480 x-rays and

01:39:17.440 reading scans.

01:39:18.740 I think

01:39:19.380 that's already

01:39:19.860 the case.

01:39:23.620 So,

01:39:24.180 yeah,

01:39:24.640 I mean,

01:39:24.940 we're right.

01:39:25.600 A year from

01:39:26.480 now,

01:39:27.060 probably you're

01:39:27.760 going to use

01:39:28.120 AI instead

01:39:28.740 of a real

01:39:29.160 doctor.

01:39:30.060 That's my

01:39:30.500 guess.

01:39:31.960 And then

01:39:32.280 nurse

01:39:32.500 practitioners.

01:39:33.600 So I

01:39:33.920 don't know

01:39:34.140 what doctors

01:39:34.880 are going

01:39:35.140 to do.

01:39:35.440 It's going

01:39:36.040 to be a

01:39:36.420 tough economic

01:39:37.480 climate for

01:39:38.080 doctors going

01:39:38.760 forward.

01:39:41.420 And that,

01:39:42.140 ladies and 0.98

01:39:42.460 gentlemen,

01:39:42.700 is all I

01:39:43.280 had to say.

01:39:44.860 It took

01:39:45.460 way too

01:39:45.800 long.

01:39:46.300 I'm going

01:39:46.540 to say

01:39:46.760 bye now

01:39:47.300 and I'm

01:39:47.660 going to

01:39:47.820 just say

01:39:48.300 hello to

01:39:48.960 the locals

01:39:49.580 people.

01:39:50.880 And everybody

01:39:51.560 else,

01:39:52.000 thanks for

01:39:52.380 joining.

01:39:52.760 I'll see

01:39:53.020 you next

01:39:53.920 time,

01:39:54.400 same time

01:39:54.840 tomorrow.

01:39:56.000 And locals

01:39:57.380 coming at

01:39:58.000 you,

01:39:58.620 I'll only

01:39:59.060 be brief.
