In this episode, we talk about some science, and some politics. We start with the science: a new way to get lithium out of the ground, and a new kind of refrigeration that could change the way we think about refrigeration. And we get into the politics: what's going on with California's water supply, and whether or not Trump is to blame for it.

00:00:00.000 and even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.
00:00:03.960 All you need for that is a cupper, mug, or a glass of tanker shells,
00:00:06.760 a stein, a canteen jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:09.680 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:11.660 I like coffee.
00:00:13.320 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:16.600 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:18.000 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's about to happen now.
00:00:22.520 Go.
00:00:22.760 Well, I dare say the luckiest person watching this show
00:00:30.520 is the one who just said they're folding their laundry.
00:00:34.380 There are very few forms of entertainment that go with folding your laundry
00:00:38.300 better than this.
00:00:40.440 It's really the ultimate laundry folding show.
00:00:44.640 Well, let's talk about all the things.
00:00:46.660 We'll talk about some science, and we'll get into the politics.
00:00:49.080 I know you're waiting for it.
00:00:50.180 But apparently scientists, according to interesting engineering,
00:00:55.680 some Penn State people found out how to get the lithium out of the ground,
00:01:02.480 or out of the rocks, I guess, in a super-efficient way.
00:01:07.680 I didn't realize how hard it was to get lithium.
00:01:10.440 You got to do stuff like drain a lake and work through the brine and all that.
00:01:16.360 But apparently they've developed an electrochemical process,
00:01:20.180 which is so efficient, it could completely change the economics and the mining.
00:01:26.640 So you can imagine that the U.S., for example,
00:01:30.780 if they found this efficient way that apparently doesn't have a downside
00:01:34.560 to extracting the lithium from ore,
00:01:38.180 maybe we can do more of it in the U.S.
00:01:40.360 without the mining that kills people.
00:01:43.220 Well, as you know, refrigeration hasn't changed much in many decades.
00:01:49.560 But now there's a new breakthrough, thermogalvanic something.
00:01:56.060 Thermogalvanic refrigeration.
00:01:58.400 Now, I don't know what that is, but it sounds impressive.
00:02:01.500 And apparently it's really efficient and it's practical.
00:02:06.560 So you might see a big change in refrigeration.
00:02:09.640 That's kind of a big deal.
00:02:11.140 If you think about how much air conditioning and refrigerating add to our energy load,
00:02:18.880 imagine needing a lot less of it.
00:02:21.840 The equivalent of how much you'd save in energy, it's got to be big.
00:02:27.680 I mean, if your refrigeration cost went down by 50% for at least new stuff, pretty big.
00:02:35.880 Well, I tried to...
00:02:39.280 Oh, here's another one.
00:02:40.260 According to the brighter side, and Mario Nafal is talking about this,
00:02:45.380 so scientists now have a drug that repairs myelin.
00:02:49.660 That's the protective sheath around nerves.
00:02:52.660 Now, why is that important?
00:02:53.840 Because if you can repair myelin, you can repair MS, strokes, and brain injuries.
00:03:02.560 So you can repair nerve damage and brains.
00:03:07.480 There might be a way to fix your brain.
00:03:10.460 Because apparently that myelin repair is a big deal.
00:03:16.660 It can even restore lost vision and maybe other brain functions.
00:03:21.020 Wow.
00:03:21.220 So that's a really big deal, if it works.
00:03:26.840 So I decided to do a semi-deep dive into the California water situation.
00:03:32.520 Because I was trying to figure out,
00:03:34.400 is it really true that all it took was Trump to say,
00:03:39.240 turn that spigot, 0.97
00:03:40.420 and then suddenly California would have all kinds of water,
00:03:44.000 and we could do all the farming we want?
00:03:46.420 And is that true?
00:03:48.000 Because it doesn't feel like that could be true.
00:03:51.260 So I asked some people, and some people sent me two different threads,
00:03:55.720 which were explaining the water situation.
00:03:58.120 And here's what I've learned.
00:04:00.600 It's way too complicated for any normal person to understand.
00:04:05.520 So if I started explaining, if I understood it,
00:04:09.180 if I started explaining where the water comes from,
00:04:12.200 where it's going to,
00:04:13.720 what the downside of letting too much out for each of the different mechanisms,
00:04:18.660 so there's a whole different risk-reward for everyone,
00:04:22.340 some is owned by the government, the federal,
00:04:25.640 some is owned by the state,
00:04:27.300 some of it has some endangered fish problems,
00:04:31.040 some doesn't,
00:04:31.820 some has some potential flooding problems,
00:04:33.660 some doesn't,
00:04:34.720 sometimes they want to keep the water,
00:04:36.660 sometimes they want to use the water,
00:04:38.300 depending on what the water's for,
00:04:40.160 is it drinkable,
00:04:40.960 is it only for something else,
00:04:42.600 maybe only for irrigation.
00:04:44.920 And then there's the people who own the water rights,
00:04:47.300 and the farmers.
00:04:49.720 Here's my final word on that.
00:04:52.940 Can't tell.
00:04:54.820 There's literally no way to know.
00:04:56.940 For me, as an honest observer,
00:05:00.000 I have no idea if Trump made any difference.
00:05:02.100 I don't know if he made it worse or better.
00:05:04.760 I have no idea.
00:05:06.200 Now, a lot of well-meaning people have given me a lot of good information,
00:05:10.420 but there's way too much of it,
00:05:12.660 and it all interrelates, right?
00:05:15.080 Because if you do too much of this,
00:05:17.000 it's going to have an effect on this other thing that you didn't count on,
00:05:20.720 you know, it might flood things, you know.
00:05:23.160 See, so there's so many moving parts
00:05:25.480 that I'm convinced that even the California experts
00:05:29.160 don't actually understand their own system.
00:05:32.840 So the complexity has made it impossible to solve
00:05:35.640 because the public can't help
00:05:38.120 because we're not going to understand it.
00:05:40.040 So that's my bottom line.
00:05:43.020 It's too hard to understand,
00:05:45.100 and I'm not sure if even the experts have a grasp on it.
00:05:50.080 All right.
00:05:50.760 Well, the big news today is tariffs.
00:05:52.860 So Trump's tariffs on Canada and Mexico and China
00:05:58.580 go into effect, I guess, right now.
00:06:02.040 So Mexico and Canada will get a 25% tariff.
00:06:07.180 I think energy is not included
00:06:09.380 because we don't want to pay more for our energy.
00:06:11.960 We don't get a ton of it.
00:06:15.100 And China, 10%. 0.80
00:06:16.820 So what are they doing about it?
00:06:19.280 Well, also, Trump took the opportunity with the tariffs
00:06:26.720 to essentially say that the government of Mexico
00:06:30.440 is in bed with the cartels.
00:06:32.800 He just says it directly.
00:06:34.920 He basically just says,
00:06:36.180 yeah, cartels have been controlling the government.
00:06:38.800 Okay.
00:06:39.680 I didn't know you were supposed to say that out loud
00:06:41.680 if you're the president,
00:06:42.860 but the president did,
00:06:45.220 and I appreciate that
00:06:46.520 because it feels like that's a more honest way
00:06:48.480 to treat it.
00:06:52.080 So we'll talk about tariffs in general
00:06:55.440 and whether that's a good idea,
00:06:56.920 but let's just look at these individually.
00:06:59.440 So part of what Trump wants to do
00:07:01.820 is get these countries
00:07:03.260 to put their fentanyl situation in order.
00:07:07.360 They want China to stop producing it.
00:07:10.760 China says, we've already stopped it. 0.88
00:07:13.340 Of course, they haven't.
00:07:14.280 And we want Mexico and Canada to close their border.
00:07:19.740 I think most of it's coming from Mexico.
00:07:22.080 But here's what's happening in Mexico.
00:07:25.720 So the cartels, according to Liberty Nation News,
00:07:29.480 are already losing billions of dollars
00:07:31.980 because they lost their migrant money.
00:07:35.240 So the cartels were making money
00:07:38.100 by helping the migrants get into the United States.
00:07:41.020 When Trump shuts the border,
00:07:43.040 there's this gigantic economic engine
00:07:46.740 that just turns off.
00:07:48.220 So the cartels went from just so much money
00:07:51.140 you could barely handle it
00:07:52.960 to, uh-oh, can't pay the bills.
00:07:56.160 So what that's going to cause is,
00:07:58.200 apparently it's already happening,
00:07:59.760 the cartels are going to start fighting with each other.
00:08:02.260 So each cartel will say,
00:08:04.560 uh-oh, the only way I can make my money back,
00:08:07.580 since the border is largely closed,
00:08:10.940 is to take some business from my competitor.
00:08:14.440 So the cartels are starting to fight each other.
00:08:17.640 Does it get better than that?
00:08:20.880 Trump closes the border,
00:08:23.460 and before we even send in our military,
00:08:26.040 the cartels are already fighting with each other.
00:08:28.660 Maybe we could just watch that for a while,
00:08:30.960 see how that goes.
00:08:33.120 Anyway,
00:08:34.640 um,
00:08:35.300 so China's response to the fentanyl charge,
00:08:41.020 at least from China's foreign ministry,
00:08:43.220 was, quote,
00:08:44.420 fentanyl is America's problem.
00:08:47.720 The Chinese side has carried out
00:08:49.880 extensive antinocardial cooperation
00:08:52.660 with the United States
00:08:53.760 and achieved remarkable results.
00:08:56.560 Really?
00:08:58.220 Really?
00:08:59.660 China? 0.73
00:09:00.200 Are you telling me that no fentanyl
00:09:01.720 is coming from China?
00:09:04.900 Nobody believes that.
00:09:06.740 Right.
00:09:07.120 So it may be that they closed down
00:09:09.120 some specific dealers
00:09:10.500 or something like that,
00:09:11.640 but no.
00:09:13.240 No.
00:09:13.540 I'm sure it's all coming from China.
00:09:16.120 So I don't trust them on that.
00:09:23.200 So here,
00:09:24.500 I don't think this will have any impact on fentanyl.
00:09:27.960 Do you?
00:09:28.280 Does anybody think the tariffs
00:09:30.460 will have any impact on fentanyl?
00:09:33.240 I don't even know if the closed border
00:09:35.000 will have an effect.
00:09:36.700 You know,
00:09:36.880 the fentanyl problem is that
00:09:38.460 the entire,
00:09:39.840 uh,
00:09:40.460 size of the package
00:09:41.820 that would give a million people
00:09:44.020 an overdose
00:09:44.620 is basically
00:09:45.900 the size of a baseball.
00:09:47.560 So you can just take a baseball
00:09:49.080 and hollow it out,
00:09:50.800 throw it over the fence
00:09:51.840 anywhere you want
00:09:52.720 if you have somebody
00:09:53.760 on the other side.
00:09:54.580 And there's your entire,
00:09:56.160 you know,
00:09:56.840 a million deaths of fentanyl,
00:09:59.240 one baseball-sized container.
00:10:02.160 So I don't really see a way
00:10:04.000 to stop it
00:10:04.580 unless you murder
00:10:05.340 all of the cartel people involved
00:10:07.420 and people become too afraid
00:10:09.180 to touch it.
00:10:10.520 But we're a long way from that.
00:10:12.020 All right.
00:10:14.040 So,
00:10:14.680 here's a weird thing
00:10:16.040 about tariffs.
00:10:18.300 So I'm going to say
00:10:19.280 the oversimplified
00:10:20.660 short-term view.
00:10:22.740 And then those of you
00:10:23.580 who know a little bit more
00:10:24.400 about economics
00:10:25.160 are going to say,
00:10:25.960 but Scott,
00:10:26.860 you forgot this
00:10:28.100 and you forgot that.
00:10:29.240 I didn't forget them.
00:10:30.860 I'll mention them
00:10:31.560 in the long-term effect.
00:10:33.160 All right.
00:10:33.600 So there's a short-term
00:10:34.580 and a long-term.
00:10:36.040 Short-term,
00:10:37.960 tariff wars are weird
00:10:39.280 because it's each country
00:10:41.700 trying to tax itself
00:10:43.260 to hurt the other country 0.98
00:10:45.460 because tariffs are paid
00:10:48.420 by the importing company.
00:10:52.240 So American companies
00:10:53.300 are going to pay the tariffs.
00:10:54.780 That's just what a tariff is.
00:10:56.580 That's the only way it works.
00:10:58.680 So in the short run,
00:11:00.360 the competition will be,
00:11:02.380 can America survive
00:11:04.380 whatever retaliatory tariffs are?
00:11:07.880 Because of course it will be.
00:11:08.840 Can we survive better
00:11:10.840 than the company,
00:11:12.520 the country
00:11:12.920 that we're battling with?
00:11:14.920 Now,
00:11:15.500 if the country
00:11:17.280 with the strongest economy
00:11:18.780 is in a trade war
00:11:20.820 with a country
00:11:21.380 with a weaker economy,
00:11:23.260 I would expect
00:11:23.900 the stronger economy
00:11:25.000 to have all
00:11:25.540 of the negotiating position
00:11:26.820 and maybe
00:11:28.260 get some kind
00:11:29.800 of a deal done
00:11:30.440 because it's so one-sided.
00:11:32.220 You know,
00:11:32.380 you better just surrender.
00:11:33.240 And that's largely
00:11:35.420 the case
00:11:36.000 with two of these countries.
00:11:38.040 So right now,
00:11:39.040 Mexico exports
00:11:40.220 to the U.S.
00:11:41.340 as a percentage
00:11:42.080 of GDP
00:11:42.740 35%.
00:11:44.640 So 35%
00:11:46.300 of Mexico's GDP
00:11:47.540 is exports
00:11:48.620 to the U.S.
00:11:49.780 How much
00:11:50.500 do we export
00:11:52.020 to Mexico?
00:11:54.240 1.2%.
00:11:55.680 1.2.
00:11:57.980 So what happens
00:11:59.720 if 1.2%
00:12:01.260 of the things
00:12:01.820 we buy from Mexico
00:12:02.880 go up in price
00:12:05.100 25%?
00:12:07.320 You're not even
00:12:08.100 going to notice.
00:12:09.640 You won't even notice.
00:12:11.200 But in Mexico,
00:12:13.060 if 35%
00:12:14.840 of what drives
00:12:15.540 their GDP
00:12:16.120 suddenly had
00:12:17.380 a huge
00:12:18.540 monetary impact
00:12:20.100 on it,
00:12:20.700 they're going to notice
00:12:21.580 that right away.
00:12:23.400 So Canada
00:12:23.940 is similar.
00:12:24.420 They export 0.99
00:12:26.620 to the U.S.
00:12:27.280 22%
00:12:28.100 of their GDP,
00:12:29.480 but the things
00:12:30.560 that we export
00:12:31.420 to Canada
00:12:32.100 is 1.5%.
00:12:33.800 So when
00:12:36.460 they put
00:12:37.220 a tariff
00:12:38.020 on us,
00:12:39.480 it'll be on
00:12:40.240 such a small
00:12:41.040 little bunch
00:12:42.080 of goods
00:12:42.460 that we won't
00:12:43.000 even notice.
00:12:44.360 When we put
00:12:45.120 a tariff
00:12:45.520 on either
00:12:46.040 Canada
00:12:46.440 or Mexico,
00:12:47.700 oh,
00:12:47.900 they're going
00:12:48.180 to notice.
00:12:49.400 Yeah,
00:12:49.680 that's certainly
00:12:50.740 they're going
00:12:51.100 to notice.
00:12:51.960 And their
00:12:52.780 economies
00:12:53.420 are,
00:12:54.660 you know,
00:12:55.260 at least Canada
00:12:56.240 seems a little
00:12:57.140 weaker than
00:12:57.800 the U.S.
00:12:58.800 So it's a weaker
00:12:59.820 economy.
00:13:00.640 They don't have
00:13:01.380 the same
00:13:01.940 punchback ability
00:13:03.420 because of the
00:13:04.180 imbalance of trade.
00:13:06.080 So in theory,
00:13:07.860 it puts Trump
00:13:09.860 in charge
00:13:11.180 of the negotiations.
00:13:12.640 So that's good.
00:13:14.060 Now here's the part
00:13:14.840 that you wanted me
00:13:15.560 to say.
00:13:16.160 Some of you
00:13:16.700 are better at economics.
00:13:18.180 In the short run,
00:13:20.620 the company
00:13:22.400 that's importing
00:13:23.120 is going
00:13:23.500 to pay
00:13:23.880 the United
00:13:24.540 States
00:13:25.000 the tariff.
00:13:26.360 So it's like
00:13:26.840 a tax
00:13:27.960 on the United
00:13:28.440 States
00:13:28.840 by the United
00:13:29.520 States.
00:13:30.920 But in the
00:13:32.580 longer term,
00:13:33.740 and sometimes
00:13:34.180 it could happen
00:13:34.760 faster,
00:13:35.900 the company
00:13:36.780 that is
00:13:38.040 exporting the
00:13:39.040 goods to
00:13:39.600 America,
00:13:41.340 let's say
00:13:41.860 China,
00:13:42.880 they might just
00:13:43.700 lower the price
00:13:44.640 of their goods
00:13:45.140 a little bit,
00:13:46.440 maybe not the
00:13:47.100 full 25%,
00:13:48.120 but depending
00:13:49.080 on the margins,
00:13:49.860 I guess,
00:13:50.240 whatever kind
00:13:50.780 of profit margin
00:13:51.500 they have,
00:13:52.160 they could
00:13:52.620 take a little
00:13:53.180 of the pain
00:13:53.620 off by lowering
00:13:55.260 the cost
00:13:56.340 of the product
00:13:56.980 and then maybe
00:13:59.140 try to sell
00:13:59.660 the same amount.
00:14:01.220 But that'd be
00:14:01.740 hard because
00:14:03.240 they probably
00:14:03.980 don't have
00:14:04.300 that much
00:14:04.620 margin in
00:14:05.480 their profits.
00:14:07.360 Over time,
00:14:09.000 what the tariffs
00:14:10.700 do is it would
00:14:11.540 cause more
00:14:12.100 American companies
00:14:13.000 to make products,
00:14:14.280 maybe,
00:14:15.040 or other countries
00:14:16.500 to be a source
00:14:18.940 for those same
00:14:19.500 products.
00:14:20.640 And according
00:14:21.560 to the Wall
00:14:21.940 Street Journal,
00:14:23.700 the tariffs,
00:14:25.080 the tariff war
00:14:25.880 as it looks,
00:14:27.280 is likely to
00:14:28.320 devalue the
00:14:29.360 currency of the
00:14:30.920 companies we're
00:14:31.600 at war at,
00:14:32.260 but not the
00:14:32.700 U.S.
00:14:33.020 currency.
00:14:34.020 So in other
00:14:34.400 words,
00:14:34.780 the Mexican
00:14:35.660 peso and the
00:14:37.040 Canadian dollar
00:14:37.980 might become
00:14:39.100 worth less
00:14:39.980 compared to
00:14:42.560 the American
00:14:42.940 dollar.
00:14:43.860 So that would
00:14:44.660 be,
00:14:44.920 again,
00:14:45.560 more negotiating
00:14:47.640 power.
00:14:49.020 So you're
00:14:50.840 now the
00:14:51.240 smartest people
00:14:52.020 in this
00:14:52.460 conversation.
00:14:53.660 Because number
00:14:54.020 one,
00:14:54.380 you know that
00:14:54.940 the payment
00:14:55.640 is made,
00:14:56.900 at least
00:14:57.320 initially,
00:14:58.300 by the
00:14:58.860 same country
00:15:00.260 that puts
00:15:01.440 the tariff
00:15:01.900 on the other
00:15:02.360 country.
00:15:03.220 It's basically
00:15:04.020 a tax on
00:15:04.640 yourself.
00:15:05.660 So we're
00:15:06.180 having a
00:15:06.580 competition to
00:15:07.440 see who can
00:15:07.960 tax themselves
00:15:09.400 harder and
00:15:12.000 survive.
00:15:13.340 And because
00:15:13.660 of the imbalance
00:15:14.500 in trade,
00:15:15.420 it looks like
00:15:16.200 America has 0.83
00:15:16.760 all the cards.
00:15:18.640 And then
00:15:19.380 the second
00:15:20.460 thing you need
00:15:20.960 to know is
00:15:21.380 that the
00:15:21.660 long-term
00:15:22.340 people start
00:15:24.060 adjusting.
00:15:24.760 So the
00:15:25.360 competitive
00:15:25.840 environment
00:15:26.420 changes if
00:15:27.200 it looks like
00:15:27.660 it's going
00:15:27.960 to be a
00:15:28.180 long-term
00:15:28.580 situation.
00:15:29.440 But that's
00:15:30.080 not going
00:15:30.340 to happen
00:15:30.500 right away.
00:15:31.540 Because people
00:15:32.280 would quite
00:15:32.720 reasonably say,
00:15:33.720 this might be
00:15:34.860 temporary.
00:15:36.460 You know,
00:15:36.940 a year from
00:15:37.440 now,
00:15:38.640 or let's
00:15:39.520 say under
00:15:39.880 the next
00:15:40.280 president,
00:15:41.460 are you
00:15:41.820 really going
00:15:42.340 to have
00:15:42.860 same tariffs?
00:15:44.600 Because if
00:15:45.240 the tariffs
00:15:45.660 stay,
00:15:46.160 then some
00:15:47.340 people may
00:15:47.780 say,
00:15:48.160 aha,
00:15:48.720 that's
00:15:49.560 exactly the
00:15:50.200 advantage I
00:15:51.420 needed to
00:15:51.860 start this
00:15:52.360 manufacturing
00:15:53.500 company in
00:15:54.100 the United
00:15:54.400 States.
00:15:55.480 But here's
00:15:56.480 where I need
00:15:56.880 a fact check.
00:15:59.020 If Chinese 0.99
00:16:00.840 goods became,
00:16:02.200 let's say,
00:16:02.840 10 or 25%
00:16:04.180 more expensive,
00:16:05.480 would that
00:16:07.560 make any
00:16:08.140 difference?
00:16:08.580 because I
00:16:10.180 feel like
00:16:10.560 they have
00:16:10.900 such a
00:16:11.600 huge cost
00:16:12.620 advantage
00:16:13.220 that even
00:16:14.600 if their
00:16:15.100 costs went
00:16:15.660 up 25%,
00:16:16.520 we still
00:16:17.080 couldn't
00:16:17.360 compete
00:16:17.700 domestically.
00:16:18.680 We couldn't
00:16:19.600 make it a
00:16:20.040 factory in
00:16:20.560 the United
00:16:20.860 States that
00:16:22.100 could beat
00:16:22.660 them on
00:16:23.040 costs just
00:16:24.580 because we
00:16:25.140 raised their
00:16:25.780 costs artificially
00:16:27.000 with the
00:16:27.340 tariff.
00:16:28.280 I don't
00:16:28.760 think we're
00:16:29.080 anywhere in
00:16:29.760 the ballpark
00:16:30.460 of being
00:16:31.060 able to
00:16:31.760 repatriate
00:16:32.560 some of
00:16:33.020 these
00:16:33.180 businesses.
00:16:33.600 All right.
00:16:37.840 So we'll
00:16:38.540 see.
00:16:39.060 We will
00:16:39.440 see what
00:16:39.900 the effect
00:16:40.380 is.
00:16:41.140 I'll tell
00:16:41.560 you, I
00:16:42.960 feel like
00:16:43.360 Trump's
00:16:43.740 instinct on
00:16:44.620 this is
00:16:45.000 right because
00:16:46.720 the U.S.
00:16:47.280 has such
00:16:47.780 a negotiating
00:16:48.700 advantage that
00:16:50.240 it gives
00:16:50.680 Trump several
00:16:51.300 ways to win
00:16:51.920 and no way
00:16:52.360 to lose.
00:16:53.780 If nothing
00:16:54.640 happens, he's
00:16:55.500 going to
00:16:55.740 claim that
00:16:56.240 the tariff
00:16:57.800 payments are
00:16:58.740 free money
00:16:59.260 to the
00:16:59.580 United States.
00:17:00.720 Really just
00:17:01.520 taxing the
00:17:02.120 United States,
00:17:02.820 but okay.
00:17:04.560 So as long
00:17:05.440 as people
00:17:05.780 don't understand
00:17:06.660 it, Trump
00:17:08.640 can claim
00:17:09.160 victory.
00:17:10.280 Because we
00:17:10.940 don't know.
00:17:11.780 We're like,
00:17:12.120 I don't know.
00:17:13.160 Is it good
00:17:13.680 in the short
00:17:14.400 run, good
00:17:14.960 in the long
00:17:15.380 run?
00:17:15.820 We don't
00:17:16.120 really understand
00:17:16.720 this tariff
00:17:17.280 stuff.
00:17:18.200 So if it's
00:17:18.900 complicated, Trump
00:17:20.640 can claim
00:17:21.900 victory.
00:17:22.560 What does
00:17:23.020 that sound
00:17:23.420 like?
00:17:24.580 Is there
00:17:24.960 any other
00:17:25.500 situation in
00:17:28.420 which Trump
00:17:29.180 can claim
00:17:29.940 victory just
00:17:31.740 because you
00:17:32.320 can't tell
00:17:32.800 the difference?
00:17:34.560 Yes, the
00:17:35.480 California water
00:17:36.300 situation.
00:17:37.740 It's possible
00:17:38.780 that what
00:17:39.560 Trump did
00:17:40.080 made a big
00:17:40.560 difference and
00:17:41.280 only Trump
00:17:41.760 could do it
00:17:42.320 and it solved
00:17:43.260 a big problem.
00:17:44.680 That would be
00:17:45.480 his claim.
00:17:46.480 It's possible
00:17:47.440 that a random
00:17:49.060 change was made
00:17:50.000 and he just
00:17:50.500 took credit.
00:17:52.060 We can't tell
00:17:53.120 the difference.
00:17:54.560 So if I'm
00:17:55.100 talking about
00:17:55.680 what makes
00:17:56.180 sense from a
00:17:57.040 persuasion
00:17:58.020 perspective,
00:17:58.620 perspective, it
00:17:59.700 makes sense
00:18:00.300 for Trump
00:18:00.740 to claim
00:18:01.200 credit
00:18:01.640 whenever we
00:18:02.400 can't tell
00:18:02.940 because it's
00:18:05.740 not so much
00:18:06.320 about the
00:18:06.700 past.
00:18:08.400 It's not so
00:18:09.060 much that he
00:18:09.520 can add it to
00:18:10.420 his resume.
00:18:11.140 That part I
00:18:11.560 don't care
00:18:11.920 about.
00:18:12.660 What I care
00:18:13.420 about is it
00:18:14.080 sends a
00:18:14.580 message of
00:18:16.080 American
00:18:16.640 competence.
00:18:18.760 Look, we
00:18:19.600 figured out how
00:18:20.240 to solve this.
00:18:21.400 Look, we
00:18:21.860 figured out how
00:18:22.440 to solve that.
00:18:23.580 Look, Trump
00:18:24.240 solved another
00:18:24.900 problem.
00:18:26.280 If we can
00:18:27.080 continue to
00:18:28.600 nurture this
00:18:29.240 idea that
00:18:29.860 Trump can
00:18:30.620 solve basically
00:18:31.800 any problem,
00:18:33.400 people will
00:18:34.700 start conforming
00:18:35.980 to that.
00:18:37.080 If people
00:18:37.780 believe that
00:18:38.640 Trump will
00:18:39.140 solve their
00:18:39.700 problems,
00:18:40.600 then as soon
00:18:41.460 as he enters
00:18:42.020 the game,
00:18:43.340 everybody gets
00:18:43.900 flexible.
00:18:45.060 That's what's
00:18:45.480 happening with
00:18:45.900 Ukraine.
00:18:47.360 So until
00:18:47.920 Trump was
00:18:48.580 elected,
00:18:49.720 Ukraine was 0.87
00:18:50.500 all, oh,
00:18:51.520 we're never
00:18:51.920 going to make
00:18:52.360 peace.
00:18:52.840 We've got to
00:18:53.220 win this war.
00:18:53.900 But as
00:18:54.740 soon as
00:18:55.060 Trump's
00:18:55.380 elected,
00:18:56.920 Putin's 0.59
00:18:57.360 like, hey,
00:18:57.760 let's talk.
00:18:58.880 You know,
00:18:59.080 you wanted
00:18:59.620 to talk
00:18:59.960 anyway.
00:19:00.920 But Zelensky
00:19:01.880 is like,
00:19:02.180 yeah, yeah,
00:19:02.960 let's talk.
00:19:03.860 Let's work
00:19:04.320 this out.
00:19:05.240 I think
00:19:05.840 that's the
00:19:06.240 Trump effect.
00:19:07.420 So I'm
00:19:08.280 perfectly
00:19:08.840 okay with
00:19:10.420 Trump taking,
00:19:12.200 let's say,
00:19:13.780 a little,
00:19:15.020 taking a
00:19:16.920 little liberty
00:19:17.520 with his
00:19:19.580 statements of
00:19:20.500 success.
00:19:21.340 Because the
00:19:22.000 more you think
00:19:22.620 he is
00:19:23.000 successful,
00:19:23.540 the more
00:19:23.980 successful he
00:19:24.780 will become.
00:19:25.480 It's basically
00:19:26.200 loading him
00:19:27.480 up.
00:19:28.200 You know,
00:19:28.320 it's how the
00:19:28.660 public can
00:19:29.120 load him
00:19:29.520 with extra
00:19:30.000 energy to
00:19:30.560 get stuff
00:19:30.920 done.
00:19:31.560 If he
00:19:32.120 thinks he's
00:19:32.580 winning,
00:19:33.420 and we
00:19:33.740 treat him
00:19:34.140 like he's
00:19:34.500 winning,
00:19:35.320 and people
00:19:35.760 say he's
00:19:36.260 winning,
00:19:37.140 he's going
00:19:37.520 to do more
00:19:37.920 winning.
00:19:39.700 You know,
00:19:39.880 his energy
00:19:40.320 will be
00:19:40.700 right,
00:19:41.320 people will
00:19:42.200 conform to
00:19:42.820 it.
00:19:43.740 It's all
00:19:44.280 good.
00:19:45.300 But I don't
00:19:45.880 know if he
00:19:46.240 did anything
00:19:46.700 for California
00:19:47.420 water,
00:19:48.080 and I have
00:19:48.600 no idea how
00:19:49.180 the tariffs
00:19:49.600 are going to
00:19:49.960 shake out.
00:19:50.420 But he
00:19:51.440 will take
00:19:51.840 credit.
00:19:52.820 He will
00:19:53.120 take credit.
00:19:54.080 And that is
00:19:54.540 exactly the
00:19:56.080 right play
00:19:56.520 for a leader.
00:19:58.440 It would be
00:19:59.080 so weak if
00:19:59.780 he said,
00:20:00.160 well, we've
00:20:00.540 made these
00:20:00.880 changes, but
00:20:01.500 frankly, we
00:20:02.080 can't tell if
00:20:02.580 they work.
00:20:02.980 that might be
00:20:04.620 honest, but
00:20:06.760 I don't need
00:20:07.140 that.
00:20:09.300 I want him
00:20:10.000 to say it
00:20:10.380 worked.
00:20:10.940 If we can't
00:20:11.760 tell one way
00:20:12.380 or the other,
00:20:12.840 say it
00:20:13.120 worked.
00:20:14.700 When I
00:20:15.280 found out my
00:20:15.900 friend got a
00:20:16.520 great deal on
00:20:17.320 a wool coat
00:20:17.880 from Winners,
00:20:18.680 I started
00:20:19.480 wondering, is
00:20:20.660 every fabulous
00:20:21.740 item I see
00:20:22.420 from Winners?
00:20:23.300 Like that woman 1.00
00:20:24.280 over there with
00:20:24.960 the designer jeans.
00:20:26.240 Are those from 0.99
00:20:27.060 Winners?
00:20:27.760 Ooh, or those
00:20:28.720 beautiful gold
00:20:29.340 earrings?
00:20:30.220 Did she pay 0.97
00:20:30.640 full price?
00:20:31.540 Or that leather
00:20:32.020 tote?
00:20:32.360 Or that
00:20:32.820 cashmere
00:20:33.180 sweater?
00:20:33.760 Or those
00:20:34.100 knee-high
00:20:34.420 boots?
00:20:35.240 That dress?
00:20:36.020 That jacket?
00:20:36.700 Those shoes?
00:20:37.720 Is anyone
00:20:38.520 paying full
00:20:39.140 price for
00:20:39.700 anything?
00:20:40.680 Stop
00:20:41.160 wondering.
00:20:41.940 Start winning.
00:20:42.880 Winners find
00:20:43.680 fabulous for
00:20:44.500 less.
00:20:45.760 Anyway, at
00:20:49.160 the same time,
00:20:50.440 there's a big
00:20:51.400 change in
00:20:52.460 imports regarding
00:20:55.340 something called
00:20:56.120 de minimis
00:20:57.060 shipments.
00:20:58.780 Now, I
00:20:59.180 didn't know
00:20:59.480 this was a
00:20:59.960 thing, but
00:21:00.940 apparently, until
00:21:02.040 it was just
00:21:02.540 changed.
00:21:03.860 If you were
00:21:04.640 shipping into
00:21:05.280 the United
00:21:05.680 States something
00:21:06.400 that was worth
00:21:07.500 less than $800,
00:21:09.620 you didn't have
00:21:10.360 to go through
00:21:10.800 the same
00:21:11.280 customs and
00:21:14.180 duty payments.
00:21:17.040 So, now that
00:21:18.760 sounds like just
00:21:19.380 a good idea,
00:21:20.100 right?
00:21:20.700 If it's a 0.59
00:21:21.220 small package,
00:21:22.700 you don't want
00:21:23.480 to have every
00:21:24.040 little package,
00:21:25.060 have to go
00:21:25.520 through customs,
00:21:26.540 and just slow
00:21:27.280 everything down.
00:21:27.940 So, it seems
00:21:29.100 like a good
00:21:29.560 idea.
00:21:30.240 Let's make the
00:21:30.940 small packages
00:21:31.760 that aren't
00:21:32.840 worth much
00:21:33.300 money.
00:21:34.120 Let's just
00:21:34.640 have them
00:21:35.000 skip that
00:21:35.660 laborious
00:21:37.420 process.
00:21:38.640 Here's what
00:21:39.300 happened.
00:21:40.400 You would
00:21:40.780 not be
00:21:41.180 surprised.
00:21:42.720 China and
00:21:43.420 probably others
00:21:44.000 are gaming the
00:21:44.780 system like
00:21:45.280 crazy.
00:21:46.480 So, if they
00:21:46.860 have, let's
00:21:48.660 say, a
00:21:49.180 container full
00:21:50.600 of parts,
00:21:51.820 instead of
00:21:52.980 saying, hey,
00:21:53.520 I have one
00:21:54.080 container full
00:21:54.720 of parts,
00:21:55.220 it's worth
00:21:55.660 a million
00:21:56.440 dollars,
00:21:57.280 they will
00:21:58.500 package each
00:21:59.200 of the parts
00:21:59.800 as sub-$800
00:22:01.800 pieces, and
00:22:04.340 they'll treat
00:22:04.820 them all as
00:22:05.360 their individual
00:22:06.160 packages under
00:22:07.000 $800.
00:22:08.040 Oh, yeah,
00:22:08.720 the container is
00:22:10.100 full.
00:22:10.740 It's the same 0.53
00:22:11.240 container, except
00:22:12.580 if we put them
00:22:13.360 in individual
00:22:13.960 packages, every
00:22:15.900 one of them
00:22:16.380 skates under
00:22:16.960 the line.
00:22:18.040 So, apparently,
00:22:18.760 the Trump
00:22:20.060 administration just
00:22:20.960 put a stop to
00:22:21.620 that.
00:22:22.580 I don't know
00:22:23.120 what's replacing
00:22:23.740 it, because
00:22:24.580 you probably
00:22:24.960 do need some
00:22:25.780 way to at
00:22:27.220 least get the
00:22:27.740 little stuff
00:22:28.260 through without
00:22:28.700 all the work.
00:22:31.240 But, I guess
00:22:32.280 that was a
00:22:32.840 gigantic thing.
00:22:33.840 So, the people
00:22:34.320 who work in
00:22:34.820 that business
00:22:35.400 say, everybody
00:22:37.000 knew this was
00:22:37.660 a problem,
00:22:39.060 Trump just
00:22:39.880 fixed it, and
00:22:41.320 it's a big
00:22:41.740 deal.
00:22:42.560 We'll see.
00:22:45.220 So, Trump
00:22:46.040 apparently did
00:22:47.220 an airstrike on
00:22:48.140 ISIS in 0.56
00:22:49.060 Somalia.
00:22:50.980 There's some
00:22:51.640 ISIS planner,
00:22:52.740 I guess,
00:22:53.120 senior ISIS
00:22:54.220 attack planner.
00:22:55.840 And, Trump
00:22:56.740 says, we
00:22:57.460 will find
00:22:57.960 you and
00:22:58.280 we will
00:22:58.640 kill you. 0.99
00:22:59.600 And then, he
00:23:00.060 released the
00:23:00.640 video of what
00:23:01.380 looked like the
00:23:02.020 bombing attack
00:23:02.760 that took
00:23:03.220 out that
00:23:03.740 ISIS attack
00:23:05.980 planner.
00:23:07.140 Now, I do
00:23:08.080 like it when
00:23:09.620 Trump takes
00:23:10.200 on a leader
00:23:10.820 and makes
00:23:11.680 sure all the
00:23:12.180 other leaders
00:23:12.680 see it.
00:23:14.020 You know, I'm
00:23:14.420 talking about
00:23:14.820 ISIS leaders,
00:23:15.740 not the
00:23:17.120 European leaders.
00:23:17.840 but I
00:23:21.540 like this.
00:23:22.840 And I
00:23:23.360 like where he
00:23:24.320 says, we
00:23:24.740 will find
00:23:25.300 you.
00:23:26.580 Because the
00:23:27.220 we will
00:23:27.620 find you
00:23:28.240 part is the
00:23:29.000 only thing
00:23:29.440 that gives
00:23:29.820 the bad
00:23:30.280 guys comfort.
00:23:31.560 Well, they'll
00:23:32.000 never find
00:23:32.560 me.
00:23:33.940 And Trump's
00:23:34.640 saying, we'll
00:23:35.060 find you.
00:23:35.940 And then he
00:23:36.580 finds somebody
00:23:37.140 and he kills
00:23:37.560 them.
00:23:37.700 And you'll
00:23:40.380 probably find
00:23:40.940 some more
00:23:41.300 people and
00:23:42.380 kill them. 0.54
00:23:43.340 So the
00:23:44.080 thing that
00:23:44.640 Trump knows
00:23:45.200 he needs to
00:23:45.900 fix is the
00:23:47.600 we can find
00:23:48.360 you problem.
00:23:49.180 Everybody knows
00:23:49.940 we can kill
00:23:50.640 people.
00:23:51.560 Like, that's
00:23:52.340 no news.
00:23:53.440 It doesn't
00:23:53.800 change anybody's
00:23:54.440 thinking that
00:23:55.440 we do kill
00:23:56.060 people.
00:23:56.560 It's a war.
00:23:58.000 But if you
00:23:58.720 say we can
00:23:59.260 find you
00:23:59.720 every time,
00:24:01.140 well, that
00:24:02.380 might have
00:24:02.680 some impact
00:24:03.300 on their
00:24:03.660 leadership
00:24:04.180 transitions.
00:24:07.080 Anyway,
00:24:07.700 according to
00:24:08.720 George
00:24:09.240 Papadopoulos,
00:24:10.400 who was
00:24:10.700 posting about
00:24:11.580 this, there's
00:24:13.040 a leaked
00:24:13.540 email from
00:24:14.180 John Brennan
00:24:14.960 about the
00:24:16.420 51 intelligence
00:24:17.680 people who
00:24:18.400 signed the
00:24:19.140 letter saying
00:24:21.160 that Hunter's
00:24:22.280 laptop was
00:24:23.120 at all the
00:24:24.420 earmarks of
00:24:25.080 Russian
00:24:25.420 disinformation.
00:24:27.540 So the
00:24:27.900 actual email
00:24:28.920 that went
00:24:29.620 from a
00:24:30.440 fellow named
00:24:31.040 Michael
00:24:31.460 Morrell to
00:24:33.180 John Brennan
00:24:33.920 asking him to
00:24:34.900 sign the
00:24:35.380 document, we
00:24:36.880 actually have
00:24:37.420 the email
00:24:37.820 now.
00:24:38.980 Here's the
00:24:39.600 last line
00:24:40.320 of the
00:24:40.600 document.
00:24:41.900 So in
00:24:42.140 the document,
00:24:43.680 Brennan is
00:24:44.400 saying, oh,
00:24:44.920 this is a
00:24:45.380 good idea,
00:24:46.840 and thanks
00:24:48.000 for adding
00:24:48.460 me, I'll
00:24:49.000 sign it.
00:24:50.540 So Brennan
00:24:51.280 knew what it
00:24:51.700 was and
00:24:53.140 agreed to
00:24:53.640 sign it.
00:24:54.180 So he
00:24:54.520 wasn't an
00:24:54.960 organizer.
00:24:55.900 So Brennan
00:24:56.300 was not an
00:24:56.820 organizer, but
00:24:57.460 he was a
00:24:57.780 signer.
00:24:58.980 And here's
00:25:00.940 what Michael
00:25:02.280 Morrell said
00:25:03.140 in his very
00:25:04.080 short email
00:25:04.840 describing
00:25:06.160 describing that
00:25:06.440 he wanted
00:25:06.800 people to
00:25:07.320 sign this
00:25:07.780 thing.
00:25:08.680 He said,
00:25:09.140 quote,
00:25:09.680 trying to
00:25:10.400 give the
00:25:10.740 campaign,
00:25:11.480 meaning
00:25:11.680 Biden's
00:25:12.160 campaign,
00:25:13.060 particularly
00:25:13.440 during the
00:25:14.120 debate on
00:25:14.620 Thursday, a
00:25:15.440 talking point
00:25:16.080 to push
00:25:16.580 back on
00:25:17.440 Trump on
00:25:17.920 this.
00:25:20.160 He actually
00:25:20.920 said it
00:25:21.340 out loud.
00:25:22.360 It's in
00:25:22.980 writing that
00:25:24.260 the person
00:25:24.680 who organized
00:25:25.540 the 51
00:25:26.220 people to
00:25:28.320 sign it,
00:25:28.800 that the
00:25:31.120 point of
00:25:31.580 it was
00:25:32.140 to give
00:25:32.660 a talking
00:25:33.120 point at
00:25:33.840 the debate.
00:25:36.660 He says
00:25:37.380 it directly.
00:25:39.560 And Brennan
00:25:40.240 says, oh,
00:25:40.700 good idea,
00:25:41.700 to create a
00:25:42.900 talking point.
00:25:44.800 They knew
00:25:45.580 it wasn't
00:25:46.060 real.
00:25:47.860 Now, I'm
00:25:48.220 reading between
00:25:48.780 the lines,
00:25:49.540 all right, I
00:25:50.040 can't read
00:25:50.400 their minds,
00:25:51.340 but doesn't
00:25:52.020 that strongly
00:25:52.740 suggest they
00:25:53.560 knew exactly
00:25:54.120 what they
00:25:54.480 were doing
00:25:54.880 and it was
00:25:55.480 just a
00:25:55.840 political
00:25:56.160 talking point
00:25:56.980 and had
00:25:57.780 nothing to
00:25:58.240 do with
00:25:58.680 warning the
00:25:59.280 country about,
00:26:00.560 well, it's
00:26:01.120 our job as
00:26:02.380 experts, it's
00:26:03.840 our job to
00:26:04.480 warn the
00:26:05.040 country that
00:26:05.540 this might
00:26:06.060 be Russian
00:26:07.640 disinformation.
00:26:09.260 Might be.
00:26:11.480 So, is
00:26:13.720 that the
00:26:14.060 smoking gun?
00:26:16.040 It's right
00:26:16.960 on the edge.
00:26:18.100 You know, you
00:26:18.360 could imagine
00:26:18.860 if this went
00:26:19.420 to court in
00:26:20.120 some way,
00:26:21.240 that there'd
00:26:21.560 be some
00:26:21.920 argument that,
00:26:22.740 well, you
00:26:24.140 know, he's
00:26:24.500 just saying
00:26:24.940 there's one
00:26:25.600 use for it.
00:26:26.940 He's not
00:26:27.320 saying that
00:26:27.780 they don't
00:26:28.120 believe it.
00:26:29.520 He's just
00:26:30.200 saying one
00:26:31.140 of its
00:26:31.460 purposes would
00:26:32.320 be to help
00:26:33.760 Biden in
00:26:34.240 the debate.
00:26:36.040 So, I'm
00:26:37.760 not sure it's
00:26:38.320 a smoking
00:26:39.040 gun with
00:26:39.720 fire, but 0.82
00:26:40.580 there's a
00:26:41.560 lot of
00:26:41.760 smoke.
00:26:44.460 Anyway, so
00:26:45.300 here's my
00:26:45.680 question.
00:26:46.120 Do you think
00:26:46.460 Democrats will 0.92
00:26:47.240 ever hear that
00:26:47.740 story?
00:26:48.080 Do you think
00:26:49.800 that CNN or
00:26:50.700 MSNBC will
00:26:51.820 carry the story
00:26:52.640 about the
00:26:53.580 leaked Brennan
00:26:54.740 email that
00:26:55.980 strongly suggests
00:26:57.040 that they
00:26:57.460 knew it
00:26:57.740 was just
00:26:58.160 political
00:26:58.560 reasons?
00:27:01.140 I don't
00:27:01.760 think Democrats
00:27:02.400 will ever
00:27:02.920 hear that
00:27:03.280 story.
00:27:04.580 What do you
00:27:05.220 think?
00:27:05.820 And it will
00:27:06.380 also tell you
00:27:07.240 how controlled
00:27:08.020 they are.
00:27:09.180 I think they're
00:27:10.140 completely controlled
00:27:11.340 and that they
00:27:12.580 just are told
00:27:13.280 not to run
00:27:13.840 this story.
00:27:14.920 You can see it
00:27:15.740 on social media,
00:27:16.600 you can see it
00:27:16.980 on X, but
00:27:17.520 that's about it.
00:27:18.560 You probably
00:27:19.040 won't see it
00:27:19.480 many places.
00:27:20.000 So, let's
00:27:23.560 talk about the
00:27:24.120 Elon Musk
00:27:24.660 effect, which
00:27:25.620 is on a lot
00:27:26.360 of things
00:27:26.680 lately.
00:27:28.180 So, yesterday
00:27:29.140 or the day
00:27:30.060 before, I
00:27:31.580 posted that
00:27:33.560 Bernie Sanders
00:27:35.100 and his
00:27:37.000 treatment of
00:27:37.600 RFK Jr.
00:27:38.420 at the
00:27:38.700 confirmation
00:27:39.080 hearings made
00:27:40.200 me lose all
00:27:41.060 respect for
00:27:41.660 him.
00:27:42.800 Now, of
00:27:43.080 course, this
00:27:43.520 caused every
00:27:44.200 NPC to say,
00:27:45.840 lose respect?
00:27:47.100 Why did you
00:27:47.860 have any respect
00:27:48.620 for him in the
00:27:49.320 first place?
00:27:50.440 Let me
00:27:50.720 explain how
00:27:51.260 this works.
00:27:53.100 It's always
00:27:53.920 good to say
00:27:55.720 that you used
00:27:56.340 to respect
00:27:56.900 somebody before
00:27:57.720 you explain
00:27:59.400 why you don't
00:28:00.040 anymore.
00:28:01.240 Because it
00:28:01.840 wouldn't make
00:28:02.200 much of an
00:28:02.680 impact if I
00:28:03.340 said, I used
00:28:04.240 to not respect
00:28:05.580 him and I
00:28:06.060 still don't.
00:28:07.980 That's a
00:28:08.540 nothing.
00:28:10.380 If you say
00:28:11.200 you used to
00:28:11.760 respect him
00:28:12.420 in some way,
00:28:14.520 right, I
00:28:14.940 don't like his
00:28:15.980 policies, I've
00:28:17.520 often said that
00:28:18.380 he can't do
00:28:19.460 math.
00:28:20.000 So he
00:28:20.760 doesn't
00:28:21.000 understand how
00:28:21.620 anything fits
00:28:22.380 together.
00:28:23.240 But just in
00:28:24.080 terms of his
00:28:24.760 what I thought
00:28:25.820 was his genuine
00:28:26.760 interest in
00:28:27.780 making things
00:28:29.060 better but
00:28:29.540 didn't know
00:28:29.940 how.
00:28:30.780 So I thought,
00:28:31.160 well, there's
00:28:31.420 something to
00:28:31.880 respect in
00:28:32.460 there, that
00:28:33.500 you're working
00:28:33.980 hard to try
00:28:34.620 to make
00:28:34.860 things better.
00:28:35.420 the fact that
00:28:36.480 you don't
00:28:36.840 know the best
00:28:37.740 way to do
00:28:38.240 it is not
00:28:39.440 ideal, but
00:28:40.900 you could
00:28:41.880 like the
00:28:42.520 intention and
00:28:43.920 you could
00:28:44.220 like the
00:28:44.560 effort.
00:28:45.540 It seemed
00:28:45.980 like there
00:28:46.280 were things
00:28:46.620 that I
00:28:46.900 could respect.
00:28:47.380 And then I
00:28:50.220 changed my
00:28:50.660 mind and
00:28:51.100 said, now,
00:28:52.000 you know,
00:28:52.460 once I
00:28:52.980 saw the
00:28:54.000 what about
00:28:54.900 the onesie?
00:28:55.820 What about
00:28:56.180 the onesie?
00:28:57.560 RFK Jr., what
00:28:58.380 about the
00:28:58.680 onesie?
00:28:59.540 And I was
00:29:00.080 like, oh
00:29:00.460 my God, he's
00:29:01.560 just that
00:29:02.040 person?
00:29:03.140 So I make
00:29:03.760 that comment 0.92
00:29:04.400 and it gets
00:29:05.500 a few hundred
00:29:05.960 thousand responses.
00:29:07.720 And then a
00:29:09.660 day goes
00:29:10.060 by and
00:29:11.120 Elon Musk
00:29:11.960 comments on
00:29:13.240 it, something
00:29:15.140 kind of like
00:29:16.180 agreement, I
00:29:16.960 forget the
00:29:17.320 exact words.
00:29:18.780 So Elon
00:29:19.720 Musk comments
00:29:20.460 on it and
00:29:21.780 the last time
00:29:22.400 I checked,
00:29:22.880 it had 38
00:29:23.620 million views.
00:29:26.240 38 million
00:29:27.620 just because
00:29:30.060 Elon commented
00:29:31.000 on it.
00:29:32.180 Oh my
00:29:33.020 God.
00:29:34.720 So think
00:29:35.880 about how
00:29:36.360 important that
00:29:36.960 is in terms
00:29:37.620 of persuasion.
00:29:39.720 You've
00:29:40.360 probably noticed
00:29:40.920 that whenever
00:29:41.400 Elon comments
00:29:42.320 on anybody's
00:29:43.180 post, it
00:29:44.640 immediately goes
00:29:45.920 into the
00:29:46.320 multi-millions.
00:29:47.980 So if it's
00:29:48.920 a good post
00:29:49.680 and people
00:29:50.940 like it and
00:29:52.220 then Elon
00:29:52.700 boosts it,
00:29:53.820 you're going
00:29:54.180 to get 10
00:29:55.480 to 30
00:29:56.120 million views.
00:29:58.760 10 to
00:29:59.180 30.
00:29:59.580 That's bigger
00:30:00.380 than any
00:30:01.280 news outlet.
00:30:03.260 I mean, it's
00:30:03.560 bigger than
00:30:04.080 CNN, it's
00:30:04.860 bigger than
00:30:05.260 MSNBC.
00:30:06.320 And what's
00:30:06.840 interesting is
00:30:07.500 it puts
00:30:08.800 Elon Musk
00:30:09.640 in the
00:30:10.160 position
00:30:10.740 of
00:30:12.460 influencing
00:30:13.360 which
00:30:13.880 messages
00:30:14.360 you see
00:30:15.300 on the
00:30:16.160 side of
00:30:16.460 the
00:30:16.580 algorithm.
00:30:17.740 So the
00:30:18.100 algorithm is
00:30:18.780 deciding what
00:30:19.340 you see, which
00:30:19.900 is mostly
00:30:20.340 stuff you
00:30:20.820 want to
00:30:21.140 see, or
00:30:22.040 at least
00:30:22.260 that's what
00:30:22.600 it's trying
00:30:23.020 to do.
00:30:23.660 It's trying
00:30:24.120 to give you
00:30:24.520 more of what
00:30:25.020 you like and
00:30:25.580 less of what
00:30:26.100 you don't
00:30:26.360 like.
00:30:27.140 But Elon
00:30:27.720 is his
00:30:28.200 own
00:30:28.380 algorithm.
00:30:30.180 So when
00:30:30.640 Elon Musk
00:30:31.800 is looking
00:30:32.240 at the
00:30:33.100 posts,
00:30:33.600 like the
00:30:34.020 rest of
00:30:34.380 us, when
00:30:35.580 I boost
00:30:36.820 something, I
00:30:37.360 say to
00:30:37.640 myself, oh,
00:30:38.920 if I boost
00:30:39.560 this, I've
00:30:40.800 got 1.2
00:30:41.720 million followers
00:30:42.520 and a lot
00:30:43.960 of them are
00:30:44.340 really connected
00:30:44.980 people.
00:30:45.740 I'm like, oh,
00:30:46.620 this could make a
00:30:47.400 difference just
00:30:48.220 because I boosted
00:30:49.000 it.
00:30:49.640 But when he
00:30:50.360 boosts things,
00:30:51.680 it's like a
00:30:52.520 hundred times
00:30:53.120 bigger.
00:30:54.220 So his
00:30:55.020 ability to
00:30:55.760 influence the
00:30:57.420 national
00:30:57.820 conversation and
00:30:58.820 influence minds
00:30:59.720 is now
00:31:00.780 somewhat
00:31:02.340 unprecedented.
00:31:04.040 I would say
00:31:04.840 that only
00:31:05.480 Trump has
00:31:07.560 a sort
00:31:08.840 of a global
00:31:09.440 persuasion
00:31:10.260 powers that
00:31:11.280 are a little
00:31:11.580 bit greater
00:31:12.080 and maybe
00:31:12.920 the gap
00:31:13.340 is closing.
00:31:14.440 But boy,
00:31:14.960 you can't
00:31:15.680 overlook the
00:31:16.320 fact that
00:31:17.240 he can touch
00:31:18.060 something once
00:31:18.920 and 38
00:31:20.160 million people
00:31:21.080 will see it.
00:31:22.760 So that's
00:31:23.120 what happened
00:31:23.800 to me.
00:31:24.300 38 million
00:31:24.980 people saw
00:31:25.900 me running
00:31:27.360 Sanders into
00:31:28.720 the ground.
00:31:29.720 Meanwhile,
00:31:31.920 speaking of
00:31:32.360 CNN,
00:31:33.300 I was
00:31:33.620 watching poor
00:31:35.040 Frank Luntz.
00:31:36.280 He was on
00:31:36.840 one of the
00:31:37.340 CNN panels
00:31:38.280 where everybody
00:31:38.840 talks over
00:31:39.460 you.
00:31:40.640 So I'd like
00:31:41.120 to give my
00:31:41.520 impression of
00:31:42.120 Frank Luntz
00:31:42.840 trying to
00:31:43.520 talk on
00:31:44.540 a CNN
00:31:44.920 panel.
00:31:46.060 This is
00:31:46.460 Frank Luntz.
00:31:47.720 Well, it's
00:31:48.560 important that
00:31:49.220 you...
00:31:49.580 Okay.
00:31:54.300 Just
00:31:54.780 continuing.
00:31:55.660 It's
00:31:55.960 important that
00:31:56.920 you...
00:31:59.360 blah, blah,
00:31:59.940 blah, blah,
00:32:00.140 blah, blah,
00:32:00.260 blah.
00:32:02.000 Okay.
00:32:03.040 Are you
00:32:03.600 going to let
00:32:03.920 me talk?
00:32:05.160 I've
00:32:05.600 listened to
00:32:06.040 you.
00:32:06.640 Are you
00:32:07.060 done?
00:32:08.320 All right.
00:32:08.840 I'll
00:32:09.180 continue.
00:32:10.200 So what I
00:32:11.080 was trying
00:32:11.380 to say is
00:32:11.840 blah, blah,
00:32:12.420 blah, blah,
00:32:12.600 blah, blah,
00:32:13.140 blah, blah,
00:32:13.500 blah, blah,
00:32:13.740 blah, blah.
00:32:14.220 The whole
00:32:15.360 show is
00:32:16.540 basically
00:32:17.020 black
00:32:17.740 panelists
00:32:18.340 trying to
00:32:19.020 talk over
00:32:19.640 any white
00:32:20.280 people who
00:32:20.720 say anything
00:32:21.160 at all.
00:32:23.840 The Abby
00:32:25.540 Phillip panel,
00:32:26.600 it just
00:32:27.000 looks like
00:32:27.620 a racist
00:32:28.680 skunk 0.51
00:32:30.420 fight.
00:32:31.960 And the
00:32:32.620 white people
00:32:33.040 are just
00:32:33.340 trying to
00:32:33.720 survive.
00:32:35.880 Scott
00:32:37.400 Jennings
00:32:37.920 does the
00:32:39.540 best job
00:32:40.060 of it
00:32:40.340 because he's
00:32:40.900 completely
00:32:41.420 unflappable.
00:32:43.160 But Luntz
00:32:44.000 was getting
00:32:44.380 a little
00:32:44.680 flapped,
00:32:45.800 meaning that
00:32:46.940 he really,
00:32:47.700 really wanted
00:32:48.000 to talk
00:32:48.700 because that's
00:32:49.800 why he was
00:32:50.320 invited there.
00:32:51.480 They invited
00:32:52.220 him because
00:32:52.780 they wanted
00:32:53.380 to hear what
00:32:53.840 he had to
00:32:54.460 say.
00:32:55.220 And every
00:32:55.460 time he
00:32:55.820 tried to
00:32:56.660 talk,
00:32:57.280 blah,
00:32:57.460 blah,
00:32:57.580 blah,
00:32:57.720 blah,
00:32:58.040 blah,
00:32:58.440 blah,
00:32:58.600 blah,
00:32:58.720 blah,
00:32:58.880 blah.
00:32:59.280 You couldn't
00:32:59.640 hear a word.
00:33:01.720 So that's
00:33:02.760 basically just
00:33:03.420 a racist
00:33:04.220 kind of a
00:33:04.780 show.
00:33:05.140 Abby
00:33:05.340 Phillip is
00:33:05.880 one of the
00:33:06.300 pushers of
00:33:06.940 the fine
00:33:07.380 people hoax.
00:33:08.520 And then
00:33:09.180 she did
00:33:09.640 this,
00:33:10.520 turning
00:33:10.900 the DEI
00:33:11.720 stuff into
00:33:12.420 another
00:33:13.120 hoax.
00:33:14.380 Here's how
00:33:14.820 the hoax
00:33:15.240 works.
00:33:18.240 DEI
00:33:18.800 is being
00:33:19.900 canceled by
00:33:20.520 Trump,
00:33:21.180 and he
00:33:21.720 said some
00:33:22.180 things about
00:33:22.700 DEI.
00:33:24.420 Why does
00:33:25.160 he have to
00:33:25.540 bring race
00:33:26.020 into it?
00:33:27.740 Okay,
00:33:28.320 he didn't
00:33:28.540 bring race
00:33:29.020 into it.
00:33:30.160 DEI is
00:33:30.700 not about
00:33:31.860 race only.
00:33:32.940 It's about
00:33:33.360 diversity,
00:33:34.160 but it's a
00:33:34.840 system.
00:33:36.180 He's
00:33:36.740 talking about
00:33:38.760 the system.
00:33:39.340 But why
00:33:40.800 must he
00:33:41.220 say that
00:33:41.680 this one
00:33:42.120 pilot must
00:33:42.780 be a
00:33:43.060 DEI hire?
00:33:44.140 Never
00:33:44.420 said that.
00:33:45.420 Never
00:33:45.680 said that.
00:33:46.300 That's you
00:33:46.720 making up
00:33:47.260 something.
00:33:48.300 No,
00:33:48.840 he's not
00:33:49.280 blaming
00:33:49.560 individuals.
00:33:51.160 He's
00:33:51.640 saying that
00:33:52.000 the system
00:33:52.640 guarantees
00:33:53.760 some
00:33:54.220 incompetence,
00:33:55.100 and it
00:33:55.260 looks like
00:33:55.700 the,
00:33:56.400 at least
00:33:56.800 in the
00:33:57.100 FAA,
00:33:58.040 it looks
00:33:58.600 like their
00:33:59.000 hiring was
00:34:00.520 limited,
00:34:01.020 because they
00:34:02.240 were trying
00:34:02.540 to hire
00:34:02.860 people,
00:34:03.300 but they
00:34:03.520 couldn't get
00:34:03.900 enough who
00:34:04.320 were diverse.
00:34:04.820 So they
00:34:05.560 just were
00:34:06.080 understaffed.
00:34:07.480 And it
00:34:08.000 would seem
00:34:08.820 that understaffing
00:34:09.760 was at least
00:34:10.340 part of the
00:34:11.280 problem for
00:34:12.620 the latest
00:34:13.100 airline disaster.
00:34:14.740 Now, we
00:34:15.240 don't know all
00:34:15.700 the details.
00:34:16.440 It could turn
00:34:16.900 out that,
00:34:17.900 you know,
00:34:18.160 the big
00:34:18.780 variable is
00:34:19.420 some entirely
00:34:19.920 different thing.
00:34:20.900 But on the
00:34:21.500 surface,
00:34:22.540 it does seem
00:34:24.540 like there
00:34:25.020 were more
00:34:26.000 planes than 0.90
00:34:26.940 there were
00:34:27.400 airline
00:34:27.920 controllers for
00:34:28.800 the job,
00:34:30.480 and that's
00:34:31.000 got to make
00:34:31.980 a difference.
00:34:32.460 on one
00:34:35.640 hand, I
00:34:36.160 was thinking
00:34:36.540 that Trump
00:34:37.320 is not
00:34:37.700 doing a
00:34:38.120 good enough
00:34:38.660 job explaining
00:34:40.420 that he's
00:34:40.940 not saying
00:34:41.460 any one
00:34:42.020 person is
00:34:42.580 a DEI
00:34:43.100 hire,
00:34:43.780 because that's
00:34:44.420 a mistake.
00:34:45.620 That's just
00:34:46.000 a pure
00:34:46.240 mistake.
00:34:47.280 You don't
00:34:47.680 really know
00:34:48.400 if any one
00:34:49.520 person is
00:34:50.520 the DEI
00:34:51.180 hire problem.
00:34:52.880 You might
00:34:53.500 say that they
00:34:54.120 are a DEI
00:34:54.920 hire, but
00:34:56.820 it's sort
00:34:57.980 of a leap
00:34:58.480 to say that
00:35:00.300 therefore they're
00:35:01.080 also the
00:35:01.560 problem.
00:35:02.460 Those are
00:35:03.500 separate.
00:35:04.020 You could be
00:35:04.420 a DEI
00:35:04.920 hire who
00:35:05.340 does a
00:35:05.600 good job.
00:35:06.640 That's
00:35:07.200 probably more
00:35:08.200 common than
00:35:08.800 the other
00:35:09.180 thing.
00:35:10.400 So when
00:35:12.400 the Abby
00:35:12.880 Philip racist
00:35:14.340 kind of
00:35:15.260 treatment comes
00:35:16.220 in, remember
00:35:17.760 the thing
00:35:18.180 they're doing,
00:35:19.040 they're trying
00:35:19.480 to turn a
00:35:20.640 system complaint
00:35:21.800 that the
00:35:22.660 DEI system
00:35:23.660 creates
00:35:24.080 inefficiency
00:35:24.660 and racism,
00:35:26.560 and they're
00:35:27.120 trying to turn
00:35:27.660 it into,
00:35:28.260 why do you
00:35:28.560 not like
00:35:29.400 black people?
00:35:30.500 They're actually
00:35:31.360 doing that.
00:35:32.460 It's
00:35:33.140 basically, why
00:35:33.820 is Trump
00:35:34.680 saying bad
00:35:35.400 things about
00:35:35.860 black people?
00:35:36.460 Which has
00:35:36.760 never happened.
00:35:38.140 It just
00:35:38.700 doesn't happen.
00:35:39.780 It's just
00:35:40.140 not anything
00:35:40.680 he's ever
00:35:41.080 done or
00:35:41.660 would ever
00:35:42.040 do.

00:36:43.460 So, anyway, J.D.
00:36:47.900 Vance had to do
00:36:50.060 some of the
00:36:50.620 cleanup, and he
00:36:53.500 nailed it.
00:36:54.700 All right, so let
00:36:55.480 me read what J.D.
00:36:56.360 Vance said when he
00:36:57.220 was asked about this
00:36:58.040 whole DEI thing.
00:36:59.860 So he said, he was
00:37:03.300 talking to Maria
00:37:04.200 Bartiroma, and he
00:37:06.540 said, quote,
00:37:09.120 quote, there's a
00:37:09.800 direct connection
00:37:10.720 between Biden
00:37:12.200 policies on DEI
00:37:13.840 and understaffed
00:37:15.240 control towers, and
00:37:17.460 he credited Trump
00:37:18.680 for intervening.
00:37:20.240 Now, that's 100%
00:37:21.440 right, because the
00:37:23.260 way Vance described
00:37:24.380 it is not about any
00:37:25.980 individual, but that
00:37:27.900 there was a staffing
00:37:28.740 problem, and it could
00:37:30.060 be tied very directly
00:37:31.300 to the policies, which
00:37:32.660 were DEI.
00:37:33.640 That's perfect.
00:37:35.240 Now, part of me
00:37:36.940 thought, you know, I
00:37:38.060 think Trump should
00:37:38.800 treat it this way,
00:37:39.800 too.
00:37:41.120 And then I said, you
00:37:42.800 know what?
00:37:45.280 The thing that makes
00:37:46.300 Trump Trump is he
00:37:48.240 doesn't give a fuck
00:37:49.240 about what I'm
00:37:49.900 saying.
00:37:52.580 If he thinks it's a
00:37:53.840 DEI problem, and then
00:37:55.060 he says it looks like a
00:37:56.100 DEI problem, and he's
00:37:58.100 right in the sense that
00:37:59.880 Vance is explaining it,
00:38:01.100 not in the sense that
00:38:01.980 any one individual is
00:38:03.200 the problem, I think
00:38:05.660 he could just drop it
00:38:06.600 and walk away, and
00:38:07.940 then let Vance clean 0.96
00:38:08.940 it up, let the news
00:38:09.840 clean it up, let other
00:38:11.300 people add the nuance.
00:38:13.280 I like it when Trump
00:38:14.380 just drops the shit
00:38:15.560 right in the middle of
00:38:17.000 their cocktail party,
00:38:19.380 and then they have to
00:38:20.680 deal with it.
00:38:22.040 I like that.
00:38:24.360 If he didn't have
00:38:25.860 good explainers around
00:38:27.780 him that can say what
00:38:29.940 it really means, then
00:38:31.440 maybe not.
00:38:32.920 But this one-two
00:38:33.980 punch of Trump
00:38:36.180 loosens up the room,
00:38:38.520 and then J.D. Vance
00:38:39.720 comes in and just
00:38:40.640 owns the room, I
00:38:42.760 like it.
00:38:44.360 Trump shakes the
00:38:45.340 box, J.D. Vance
00:38:47.400 comes in and puts it
00:38:48.320 back in order, in a
00:38:49.940 new way, you know, a
00:38:51.380 new order, not the
00:38:52.180 old order.
00:38:53.320 Very good, one-two
00:38:54.340 punch.
00:38:56.140 So we'll see if
00:38:57.300 anything changes on
00:38:58.380 that messaging.
00:39:00.180 Well, what we do
00:39:01.080 know now is that the
00:39:02.540 Black Hawk helicopter
00:39:04.580 had three pilots.
00:39:05.600 The one that we
00:39:06.180 didn't hear about for
00:39:07.020 a while is the only
00:39:08.540 female pilot. 0.94
00:39:09.680 Do we think that
00:39:10.740 that's the reason we
00:39:11.700 didn't hear about it?
00:39:13.240 Well, the speculation,
00:39:14.680 which is pure
00:39:15.440 speculation, and very
00:39:17.020 unfair, you know,
00:39:19.280 within the close
00:39:21.480 proximity of the
00:39:22.600 actual disaster,
00:39:23.420 because the family is
00:39:25.420 recovering slowly,
00:39:28.120 et cetera.
00:39:30.500 But the questions
00:39:33.120 being asked are,
00:39:34.640 is the reason there
00:39:35.440 was a delay so that
00:39:37.300 social media could be
00:39:38.440 scrubbed?
00:39:39.840 Because there are some
00:39:40.940 photos that people
00:39:41.860 found that show the
00:39:44.920 female pilot in the 0.87
00:39:47.320 smiling company of a
00:39:48.700 group of people who
00:39:49.580 appear to be all
00:39:50.520 LGBTQ, which would 1.00
00:39:53.140 suggest it's less
00:39:55.280 likely that she was
00:39:56.140 the only, you know,
00:39:57.360 straight white woman 1.00
00:39:58.360 in the LGBT group
00:39:59.900 because they were
00:40:00.560 posing for a picture.
00:40:02.280 It seems a little
00:40:03.120 more likely she was
00:40:04.160 part of that group,
00:40:04.960 but we don't know
00:40:05.720 that.
00:40:06.660 Now, would that
00:40:07.620 change my opinion?
00:40:09.100 If I found out that
00:40:10.980 she was hired in
00:40:13.920 part because she's a 1.00
00:40:15.040 lesbian, which, by the 0.96
00:40:16.500 way, is not
00:40:17.000 confirmed at all, I
00:40:19.220 don't know that that
00:40:19.680 would change my
00:40:20.160 opinion.
00:40:22.080 Is there anybody here
00:40:23.000 who thinks a lesbian 0.57
00:40:23.760 can't fly a helicopter?
00:40:26.380 I don't think that's
00:40:27.320 a thing, is it?
00:40:29.840 I see no reason that
00:40:31.160 you can't have the
00:40:31.860 best pilots in the
00:40:32.940 world be lesbians. 1.00
00:40:35.460 Why not?
00:40:36.940 So, again, I
00:40:39.980 wouldn't focus on
00:40:40.920 her, but there is
00:40:42.680 some question of
00:40:43.380 whether they cleaned
00:40:44.240 up her situation so
00:40:46.100 it wouldn't look like
00:40:47.000 it was the problem,
00:40:47.760 which I wouldn't
00:40:48.860 mind, you know.
00:40:50.240 If the family wants
00:40:51.220 to, you know, just
00:40:52.820 stay under the
00:40:53.440 limelight on this
00:40:54.280 because it's not
00:40:54.820 really a limelight they
00:40:55.700 want to be a part of,
00:40:56.960 I'd respect that.
00:40:58.100 I respect the family's
00:40:59.320 wishes, but I'll just
00:41:01.280 say that the
00:41:02.000 conversation is out
00:41:02.980 there.
00:41:03.560 I don't think it's
00:41:04.100 useful.
00:41:05.200 I just don't think
00:41:06.100 it's useful.
00:41:07.400 We should let that
00:41:08.200 go.
00:41:09.320 Let the family just
00:41:10.400 deal with their
00:41:10.940 situation.
00:41:11.420 So MSNBC talking 0.51
00:41:16.740 about the firings of
00:41:17.960 all the senior FBI
00:41:19.380 people who were in
00:41:21.580 some way involved with
00:41:22.820 law-faring Trump or
00:41:24.340 the January 6th stuff.
00:41:27.160 And here's what Andy
00:41:28.540 Weissman said as he
00:41:31.040 was bleeding, B-L-E-A-T, 0.94
00:41:34.440 bleat like a sheep.
00:41:35.540 He said that the
00:41:39.940 FBI agents who got
00:41:41.820 fired could sue
00:41:43.380 Trump because there's
00:41:46.620 no cause for the
00:41:47.700 firing and they can
00:41:49.200 only be fired for
00:41:50.160 cause.
00:41:52.300 To which I say,
00:41:53.800 what do you mean
00:41:54.660 there was no cause?
00:41:56.260 No cause?
00:41:57.660 Are you telling me
00:41:58.700 that hunting
00:41:59.260 Republicans is not
00:42:00.440 cause for removal
00:42:01.740 by a Republican?
00:42:03.020 I can't think of
00:42:06.000 a better cause.
00:42:07.240 What would you have
00:42:08.120 to do that would be
00:42:08.800 worse than that?
00:42:09.900 They hunted
00:42:10.620 Republicans.
00:42:12.000 They hunted
00:42:12.780 them.
00:42:13.680 They hunted
00:42:14.340 Republicans.
00:42:16.760 In the real world.
00:42:17.980 I'm not making that
00:42:18.700 up.
00:42:18.940 They hunted them.
00:42:19.860 They hunted them
00:42:20.900 for political
00:42:21.840 purposes.
00:42:22.960 I don't think any
00:42:23.920 of them really
00:42:24.440 thought that putting
00:42:25.480 grandma in jail
00:42:26.360 because she
00:42:26.900 trespassed was
00:42:28.140 making the country
00:42:28.900 a safer place.
00:42:29.980 Not one of them
00:42:30.740 thought that.
00:42:31.740 But why did they
00:42:32.380 do it?
00:42:33.460 Why were they
00:42:33.940 doing it if they
00:42:35.240 knew it wouldn't
00:42:35.660 make the country
00:42:36.220 safer?
00:42:38.080 Why?
00:42:39.220 Well, obviously
00:42:40.080 political reasons.
00:42:41.460 So if you're in
00:42:42.200 the FBI and
00:42:43.020 you're putting
00:42:43.640 people in jail
00:42:44.340 for political
00:42:45.000 reasons and
00:42:45.780 it's one side
00:42:46.520 only, yeah,
00:42:48.760 that's a firing
00:42:49.720 offense.
00:42:50.840 That's a super
00:42:51.740 firing offense.
00:42:52.680 Now you might
00:42:53.040 say to me,
00:42:54.040 but Scott,
00:42:54.960 many of them
00:42:56.080 didn't have a
00:42:56.560 choice.
00:42:57.460 They were assigned
00:42:58.500 it and they
00:42:59.440 were just doing
00:43:00.360 their job.
00:43:01.200 To which I say,
00:43:02.240 I don't care.
00:43:03.460 If you were
00:43:04.240 assigned to
00:43:04.860 murder somebody
00:43:05.660 and murder
00:43:06.540 was illegal,
00:43:07.680 it is by the
00:43:08.340 way, it's
00:43:08.860 totally illegal,
00:43:09.840 and you
00:43:10.540 murdered somebody,
00:43:11.300 would I say,
00:43:11.760 well, it was
00:43:12.120 just an
00:43:12.480 assignment?
00:43:13.380 No.
00:43:13.760 So if you're a
00:43:15.160 member of the
00:43:15.580 FBI and you're
00:43:17.080 hunting one
00:43:17.740 group of
00:43:18.200 Americans for
00:43:18.920 political reasons,
00:43:19.740 you don't think
00:43:20.340 you know that?
00:43:21.420 You think you
00:43:22.040 would be unaware
00:43:22.680 that what you're
00:43:23.460 doing should put
00:43:24.880 you in jail?
00:43:25.680 I don't think it'll
00:43:26.560 put anybody in
00:43:27.160 jail, but it's
00:43:29.560 bad enough.
00:43:31.220 So no, I have
00:43:32.320 no sympathy for
00:43:33.380 anybody who took
00:43:34.200 the assignment as
00:43:35.560 opposed to
00:43:36.080 quitting.
00:43:37.200 Now, it's a
00:43:38.040 tough choice.
00:43:39.320 I get it.
00:43:40.240 In the real
00:43:40.760 world, people
00:43:41.240 don't quit.
00:43:42.320 They need their
00:43:42.860 jobs.
00:43:43.940 You know, you
00:43:44.180 don't want to
00:43:44.500 ruin your whole
00:43:45.020 career over this
00:43:45.860 because you really
00:43:46.360 can't get it back
00:43:47.100 if you turned into
00:43:48.140 a whistleblower,
00:43:48.900 you're dead. 0.69
00:43:49.860 But that's also
00:43:50.960 not my problem.
00:43:52.560 It's not my
00:43:53.440 problem that they
00:43:54.240 couldn't say no
00:43:55.000 if they wanted to.
00:43:57.020 And I don't even
00:43:57.540 think they wanted
00:43:58.100 to.
00:43:58.720 I suspect that they
00:43:59.760 wanted to do it,
00:44:00.740 but we don't know
00:44:01.440 if that's true of
00:44:02.520 all of them.
00:44:05.740 I didn't remember
00:44:06.740 this, but I was
00:44:07.660 reminded that I
00:44:08.920 guess Kash Patel
00:44:09.920 and Pam Bondi
00:44:10.760 both said during
00:44:12.340 the confirmation
00:44:12.880 process that they
00:44:14.060 wouldn't fire
00:44:15.140 people who were
00:44:16.640 associated with
00:44:17.360 these activities,
00:44:18.280 the January 6th
00:44:19.100 in the law
00:44:19.800 fair, I guess.
00:44:21.340 And both of them
00:44:22.260 said they wouldn't,
00:44:23.760 but neither of
00:44:24.820 them are confirmed.
00:44:26.760 So the acting
00:44:27.920 heads are doing
00:44:29.980 the firing.
00:44:31.700 Now, do you
00:44:32.960 think that the
00:44:33.660 Democrats are
00:44:34.540 now, let's
00:44:36.960 say, unhappy
00:44:38.340 with dragging
00:44:39.520 out the process?
00:44:41.640 You realize that
00:44:42.680 if the Democrats
00:44:43.480 had said, wait,
00:44:44.440 okay, you're not
00:44:45.000 going to fire
00:44:45.360 these people?
00:44:46.260 Okay, let's
00:44:47.200 vote right now.
00:44:47.840 All our
00:44:48.980 questions are
00:44:49.480 answered.
00:44:50.220 Let's get it
00:44:50.840 over with.
00:44:51.940 What would
00:44:52.400 have happened
00:44:52.940 if Kash Patel
00:44:54.480 and Pam
00:44:54.900 Bondi had
00:44:55.440 both immediately
00:44:56.660 been approved
00:44:57.680 after saying
00:44:59.220 in public
00:45:00.240 that they
00:45:01.620 wouldn't do
00:45:01.960 this?
00:45:02.800 I feel like
00:45:03.560 they wouldn't
00:45:03.880 do it
00:45:04.320 because they'd
00:45:05.880 be trapped
00:45:06.340 with what they
00:45:07.220 said.
00:45:07.860 I mean, maybe
00:45:08.480 Trump would
00:45:09.160 force them to
00:45:09.720 somehow.
00:45:10.060 know, but
00:45:11.240 it's hard
00:45:12.400 for me to
00:45:13.600 take their
00:45:13.960 complaints
00:45:14.400 seriously
00:45:14.960 when the
00:45:16.100 people who
00:45:16.500 said they
00:45:16.820 wouldn't do
00:45:17.300 it are being
00:45:17.760 held up by
00:45:18.280 the people
00:45:18.820 who want
00:45:20.220 it to be
00:45:20.760 not done.
00:45:21.600 So I
00:45:24.700 told you
00:45:25.020 yesterday that
00:45:25.600 the Treasury
00:45:26.260 Department,
00:45:27.820 which is
00:45:28.460 essentially the
00:45:29.440 one writing
00:45:29.940 the checks,
00:45:31.520 if I have
00:45:32.320 that right,
00:45:33.420 so they
00:45:33.980 write checks
00:45:34.880 for the
00:45:35.180 government to
00:45:35.940 pay everything
00:45:37.220 that the
00:45:37.580 government needs
00:45:38.140 to pay.
00:45:39.260 I don't know
00:45:39.920 if that's
00:45:40.220 exactly true,
00:45:40.980 but for our
00:45:41.800 purposes today,
00:45:42.780 let's say it
00:45:43.300 is.
00:45:44.440 And you
00:45:46.300 heard that
00:45:46.740 the highest
00:45:47.980 ranking Treasury
00:45:48.760 official,
00:45:49.560 this guy named
00:45:50.160 David Lebrick,
00:45:51.860 he resigned
00:45:52.480 rather than
00:45:53.220 comply with
00:45:53.820 the request
00:45:54.260 from Doge
00:45:54.820 for access
00:45:55.420 to audit it.
00:45:57.140 So all they
00:45:57.680 wanted was
00:45:58.100 access to the
00:45:58.800 system so they
00:45:59.440 could see what
00:45:59.940 was spent
00:46:00.400 where,
00:46:01.340 and the guy
00:46:01.840 who was in
00:46:02.340 charge quit.
00:46:05.140 He quit.
00:46:06.780 Now keep in
00:46:07.440 mind that Doge 0.54
00:46:08.220 is completely
00:46:09.560 authorized by
00:46:10.940 the elected
00:46:12.580 government of
00:46:13.260 the United
00:46:13.520 States.
00:46:15.320 And he was
00:46:16.020 just not
00:46:16.420 going to help,
00:46:17.420 so he quit.
00:46:18.560 Well, that
00:46:18.900 looks as
00:46:19.340 suspicious as
00:46:20.200 anything could
00:46:20.880 look.
00:46:22.020 And then
00:46:22.360 Musk says
00:46:23.040 about this
00:46:23.500 that the
00:46:23.880 Doge team,
00:46:25.260 when they
00:46:25.960 got into
00:46:26.380 the Treasury
00:46:27.080 Department
00:46:27.460 system,
00:46:28.460 or even
00:46:29.100 before,
00:46:30.040 he says
00:46:30.440 the team
00:46:31.020 discovered,
00:46:31.580 among other
00:46:31.920 things,
00:46:32.400 that payment
00:46:32.840 approval officers
00:46:33.940 at Treasury
00:46:34.640 were instructed
00:46:35.900 always to
00:46:36.700 approve payments
00:46:38.280 even to
00:46:39.420 known fraudulent
00:46:40.360 or terrorist
00:46:41.020 groups.
00:46:43.260 Now, some
00:46:44.480 of the
00:46:44.700 payments to
00:46:45.400 terrorist
00:46:46.100 groups may
00:46:48.420 have been
00:46:48.880 some strategic
00:46:49.840 play that
00:46:50.760 the CIA was
00:46:52.180 trying to get
00:46:53.540 one terrorist
00:46:54.120 group to kill
00:46:54.700 the other
00:46:55.060 terrorist group,
00:46:56.000 so maybe
00:46:57.620 there's some
00:46:58.020 reasons for it.
00:46:59.460 But apparently
00:47:00.520 they were just
00:47:00.980 told, nope,
00:47:01.660 don't judge
00:47:02.340 them, just
00:47:03.580 approve them.
00:47:04.540 Now, what
00:47:04.960 happens when
00:47:05.540 you have a
00:47:06.000 payment system
00:47:06.800 in which there
00:47:07.720 are no checks
00:47:08.380 and balances?
00:47:10.120 It's out of
00:47:10.840 control.
00:47:12.380 Is it
00:47:13.020 possible that
00:47:13.660 Democrats
00:47:14.120 don't know
00:47:14.660 that?
00:47:15.660 That if you
00:47:16.700 don't have
00:47:17.060 somebody controlling
00:47:17.880 every dollar,
00:47:18.740 it will all
00:47:19.640 get stolen?
00:47:20.800 Or is that
00:47:21.740 exactly the
00:47:22.380 plan?
00:47:23.560 To have the
00:47:24.140 least amount
00:47:24.900 of checking
00:47:25.380 so you can
00:47:26.240 have the
00:47:26.480 most amount
00:47:26.920 of theft?
00:47:27.840 It looks
00:47:28.220 like that.
00:47:29.680 One of the
00:47:30.100 things Musk
00:47:31.480 is saying
00:47:31.920 about the
00:47:32.520 doge
00:47:32.840 effort is
00:47:33.860 that they
00:47:34.800 work on
00:47:35.240 weekends,
00:47:35.680 it's like
00:47:36.840 a superpower
00:47:37.960 over people
00:47:38.980 who don't
00:47:39.280 work on
00:47:39.640 weekends.
00:47:41.060 And I
00:47:41.880 got to tell
00:47:42.340 you, I've
00:47:43.660 worked weekends
00:47:44.480 my entire
00:47:45.320 career, my
00:47:46.660 adult life, I've
00:47:47.580 always worked
00:47:48.020 weekends, and
00:47:49.500 it is a
00:47:50.520 superpower.
00:47:52.020 And also
00:47:52.860 getting up
00:47:53.400 earlier and
00:47:54.560 sleeping less.
00:47:55.620 I've had the
00:47:56.400 equivalent of
00:47:57.060 basically three
00:47:57.920 lives.
00:47:59.140 Well, many of
00:48:00.060 you have
00:48:00.380 had two.
00:48:02.040 Now, you
00:48:02.600 might have
00:48:02.900 enjoyed your
00:48:03.520 one or two
00:48:05.100 lives, but
00:48:05.680 more than
00:48:06.560 my three.
00:48:07.320 I don't
00:48:07.560 know, it's
00:48:08.000 hard to
00:48:08.300 compare, but
00:48:09.420 I've lived the
00:48:10.560 equivalent of
00:48:11.140 three lives, and
00:48:12.840 I feel it.
00:48:14.060 I feel like I've
00:48:14.880 had three lives
00:48:16.100 running
00:48:16.600 simultaneously.
00:48:18.240 So, every
00:48:18.900 once in a
00:48:19.240 while, it's
00:48:19.880 very rare,
00:48:21.380 something happens
00:48:22.140 where I would
00:48:22.600 wake up late,
00:48:24.500 it just ruins
00:48:25.080 my whole day,
00:48:26.300 because I feel
00:48:26.900 like I didn't
00:48:27.360 get anything
00:48:27.740 done.
00:48:28.220 I don't
00:48:28.480 know how
00:48:28.660 you do
00:48:28.880 it.

00:48:41.980 Scotiabank,
00:48:42.740 you're richer
00:48:43.200 than you
00:48:43.540 think.
00:48:45.080 Anyway, how
00:48:46.880 many of you
00:48:47.500 know what
00:48:48.500 USAID is?
00:48:50.320 The organization
00:48:51.560 in the government
00:48:52.240 called USAID,
00:48:53.920 USAID.
00:48:56.280 Now, wouldn't
00:48:56.820 you think that
00:48:58.560 if there were
00:48:58.960 some big,
00:48:59.680 well-funded
00:49:00.180 organization with
00:49:01.140 that name in
00:49:01.900 our government,
00:49:02.720 that they would
00:49:03.520 be giving aid to
00:49:04.600 other countries
00:49:05.240 from the
00:49:06.340 U.S., or
00:49:07.500 maybe you'd
00:49:08.000 even think
00:49:08.420 it's for
00:49:08.780 the U.S.,
00:49:09.580 because it's
00:49:09.980 the U.S.,
00:49:10.700 it's got aid
00:49:11.520 in it.
00:49:12.780 But the
00:49:13.760 AID is not
00:49:14.580 aid, it's
00:49:15.460 something else.
00:49:16.800 And according
00:49:17.720 to Mike
00:49:18.120 Benz, USAID
00:49:20.200 is how the
00:49:20.640 State Department
00:49:21.240 and the CIA
00:49:21.980 topple
00:49:22.540 governments
00:49:23.080 through something
00:49:24.260 called capacity
00:49:25.280 building.
00:49:26.340 So if you
00:49:27.000 want to
00:49:27.280 understand how
00:49:27.880 the real
00:49:28.220 world works,
00:49:29.440 here's a term
00:49:30.140 you have to
00:49:30.600 understand,
00:49:32.060 capacity
00:49:32.600 building.
00:49:34.520 The way that
00:49:35.320 works is if
00:49:35.980 the United States
00:49:36.620 wants to
00:49:37.060 overthrow some
00:49:37.860 smaller country,
00:49:39.260 we first
00:49:40.620 use this
00:49:41.140 USAID thing
00:49:42.100 to fund a
00:49:43.920 bunch of
00:49:44.220 things in
00:49:44.640 that target
00:49:45.360 country that
00:49:46.820 will make it
00:49:47.240 easier to
00:49:47.660 overthrow it.
00:49:48.920 So they
00:49:50.040 might fund
00:49:50.740 some fake
00:49:51.900 groups that
00:49:52.820 are opposed
00:49:53.220 to the
00:49:53.460 government.
00:49:54.760 They might
00:49:55.600 back some
00:49:58.120 street
00:49:58.600 muscle.
00:49:59.580 So apparently
00:50:00.020 street
00:50:00.600 muscle is
00:50:01.640 important to
00:50:02.280 overthrowing any
00:50:03.040 country.
00:50:04.060 If they have
00:50:04.580 big unions,
00:50:05.720 then you use
00:50:07.160 your money to
00:50:07.940 bribe or
00:50:08.780 control the
00:50:09.840 unions and
00:50:10.380 they become
00:50:10.740 your street
00:50:11.180 muscle.
00:50:11.800 If you
00:50:12.280 don't have
00:50:12.640 big unions,
00:50:13.740 you try
00:50:14.300 green people
00:50:16.700 or Antifa
00:50:18.140 or communists
00:50:20.100 or somebody.
00:50:20.680 You have to
00:50:21.240 find some
00:50:21.620 street muscle.
00:50:22.500 That's
00:50:22.700 important.
00:50:23.940 So you've
00:50:24.300 got your
00:50:25.040 NGOs,
00:50:27.160 your various
00:50:27.660 organizations
00:50:28.380 that are
00:50:28.760 working against
00:50:29.380 the target
00:50:29.840 company.
00:50:30.700 And there
00:50:30.900 might be
00:50:31.160 like lots
00:50:31.680 of them.
00:50:32.520 And then
00:50:33.040 you've got
00:50:33.560 the street
00:50:35.040 muscle.
00:50:35.800 And then
00:50:36.020 of course,
00:50:36.600 we would
00:50:38.020 have to
00:50:38.300 control the
00:50:38.780 media.
00:50:40.160 So we'd
00:50:40.800 have to
00:50:41.040 control the
00:50:41.460 media.
00:50:41.980 So the
00:50:42.240 media says,
00:50:43.580 if it's not
00:50:44.300 controlled by
00:50:44.840 the dictator,
00:50:46.120 but at least
00:50:47.280 the social
00:50:47.700 media so
00:50:48.960 that there's
00:50:49.340 a story
00:50:50.120 against
00:50:50.620 whoever's
00:50:51.200 in charge.
00:50:53.240 And so
00:50:55.440 that's kind
00:50:56.200 of the deal.
00:50:56.640 So that's
00:50:57.840 called
00:50:58.080 capacity
00:50:58.700 building.
00:50:59.740 I'm doing
00:51:00.080 a bad
00:51:00.420 job of
00:51:00.820 explaining it.
00:51:01.880 Capacity
00:51:02.260 building means
00:51:02.900 creating
00:51:03.500 permanent or
00:51:05.540 semi-permanent
00:51:06.420 things in
00:51:07.000 another country
00:51:07.720 for the
00:51:09.100 purpose of
00:51:09.660 taking them
00:51:10.180 over.
00:51:11.080 And apparently
00:51:11.460 we do it
00:51:11.980 really well.
00:51:13.040 And apparently
00:51:13.440 it was done
00:51:13.940 against the
00:51:14.480 United States
00:51:15.120 by some
00:51:17.400 of the same
00:51:17.780 players.
00:51:18.500 They just
00:51:18.860 turned it
00:51:19.260 inward and
00:51:19.920 tried to
00:51:21.240 control a
00:51:21.700 lot of the
00:51:21.960 United States.
00:51:22.400 So the
00:51:23.940 NGOs, I
00:51:26.480 guess there
00:51:26.800 are just
00:51:27.040 thousands of
00:51:27.760 them and
00:51:28.520 they're
00:51:28.740 interconnected
00:51:29.580 so you
00:51:30.160 can't tell
00:51:30.500 where the
00:51:30.780 money is
00:51:31.140 flowing.
00:51:32.040 It's like
00:51:32.400 you might
00:51:32.700 give money
00:51:33.140 to one
00:51:33.520 NGO whose 1.00
00:51:35.080 job is to
00:51:35.780 distribute to
00:51:36.420 other NGOs
00:51:37.100 and then some
00:51:38.640 of them
00:51:38.860 distribute to
00:51:39.500 other NGOs.
00:51:40.780 So you
00:51:41.340 can't even
00:51:41.660 tell where
00:51:41.940 the money is
00:51:42.360 going, which
00:51:43.560 apparently is
00:51:44.300 intentional.
00:51:45.340 So you
00:51:45.780 have this
00:51:46.080 vast amount
00:51:47.180 of money
00:51:48.480 controlled by
00:51:49.500 the State
00:51:49.920 Department
00:51:50.320 and the
00:51:50.680 CIA that
00:51:52.280 goes through
00:51:52.680 this USAID
00:51:53.500 thing, which
00:51:53.920 is allegedly
00:51:55.040 a legitimate
00:51:55.740 outfit, but
00:51:56.760 it's about
00:51:57.880 overthrowing
00:51:58.640 countries,
00:51:59.180 including
00:51:59.480 America.
00:52:00.900 And it
00:52:03.120 looks like
00:52:03.500 the whole
00:52:03.740 thing is
00:52:04.000 just going
00:52:04.320 to go
00:52:04.540 away.
00:52:05.800 So half
00:52:06.820 of the
00:52:07.120 employees were
00:52:08.200 contractors and
00:52:09.800 Doge and
00:52:10.640 Trump just
00:52:11.200 said all the
00:52:11.840 contractors are
00:52:12.580 gone.
00:52:14.740 So as
00:52:15.680 somebody, an
00:52:17.320 ex named
00:52:17.760 William Wolf
00:52:18.400 said,
00:52:19.500 Trump is
00:52:19.940 literally
00:52:20.380 Thanos
00:52:21.080 snapping the
00:52:21.780 deep state
00:52:22.260 end of
00:52:22.560 existence.
00:52:24.180 So I
00:52:24.720 guess the
00:52:25.060 USAID
00:52:25.560 people, some
00:52:26.080 of them
00:52:26.320 were on
00:52:26.580 a Zoom
00:52:26.940 call, and
00:52:27.980 all of a
00:52:28.320 sudden the
00:52:28.500 Zoom call
00:52:28.920 went, you
00:52:29.380 know, half
00:52:29.840 of the
00:52:30.060 people went
00:52:30.460 dark.
00:52:31.720 It was
00:52:32.280 like Thanos
00:52:32.980 from the
00:52:33.620 superhero
00:52:35.980 movies where
00:52:36.780 he snaps
00:52:37.180 his fingers
00:52:37.680 and half
00:52:38.260 of the
00:52:38.480 population
00:52:38.960 of the
00:52:39.220 planet
00:52:39.460 dies.
00:52:40.920 So Trump
00:52:41.900 is Thanos
00:52:43.140 snapping the
00:52:43.780 deep state
00:52:44.200 end of
00:52:44.540 existence.
00:52:47.340 If you'd
00:52:48.000 like to
00:52:48.280 know,
00:52:48.580 is USAID
00:52:50.980 something that
00:52:51.960 you should
00:52:53.880 be on
00:52:54.160 their side
00:52:54.700 because let's
00:52:56.360 say, hey,
00:52:57.340 at least they're
00:52:57.860 working for
00:52:58.380 America.
00:52:59.680 Maybe they're
00:53:00.220 doing bad
00:53:01.260 things to
00:53:01.680 other countries,
00:53:02.300 but they're
00:53:03.140 doing it for a
00:53:03.760 good reason in
00:53:04.520 terms of
00:53:04.880 America.
00:53:05.540 So America
00:53:06.000 is stronger
00:53:06.580 because they
00:53:07.520 exist.
00:53:08.360 Well, here's
00:53:08.760 something else
00:53:09.200 you should know
00:53:09.600 about USAID.
00:53:10.940 According to
00:53:11.380 Stephen Miller,
00:53:12.660 98% of the
00:53:13.900 USAID people
00:53:15.140 donated to
00:53:15.800 Kamala Harris or
00:53:16.600 other left-wing
00:53:17.340 candidates.
00:53:19.420 Huh.
00:53:20.140 So one of
00:53:21.060 the ways that
00:53:21.640 the USAID
00:53:23.720 controls other
00:53:24.680 countries is by
00:53:26.960 getting the
00:53:27.380 other countries
00:53:27.920 to be infected
00:53:29.720 by DEI,
00:53:31.380 climate change,
00:53:32.680 abortion rights,
00:53:33.720 and identity
00:53:34.260 politics.
00:53:37.200 Wait a
00:53:38.020 minute.
00:53:39.000 Are you
00:53:39.740 saying,
00:53:40.180 Scott,
00:53:40.860 that we use
00:53:42.320 the things that
00:53:42.980 are popular in
00:53:43.720 the United
00:53:44.060 States to
00:53:44.820 destroy other
00:53:45.760 countries?
00:53:46.960 Yup.
00:53:48.720 Does that
00:53:49.480 mean that
00:53:50.260 those things
00:53:50.980 are only big
00:53:51.680 in the United
00:53:52.160 States because
00:53:52.960 the same
00:53:54.000 entities are
00:53:54.640 trying to
00:53:55.060 destroy the
00:53:55.640 United States?
00:53:58.260 Maybe.
00:53:59.520 That's what it
00:54:00.280 looks like.
00:54:01.700 If we know
00:54:02.620 that building
00:54:04.100 up capacity
00:54:05.100 in another
00:54:05.620 country where
00:54:06.920 they're fighting
00:54:07.380 over DEI,
00:54:08.800 they're fighting
00:54:09.560 over climate,
00:54:10.640 and there's
00:54:11.280 lots of money
00:54:11.780 sloshing around
00:54:12.760 that allegedly
00:54:13.520 is going to
00:54:14.140 climate and
00:54:14.780 abortion rights
00:54:17.640 and identity.
00:54:18.360 I think
00:54:18.580 abortion rights
00:54:19.180 is probably
00:54:19.460 the smaller
00:54:19.880 one, but
00:54:20.880 identity
00:54:21.840 politics.
00:54:23.480 Do you
00:54:24.020 think there's
00:54:24.400 any chance
00:54:25.140 if we use
00:54:26.280 these things
00:54:26.720 for weapons
00:54:27.400 to destroy
00:54:28.160 other countries,
00:54:29.380 you don't
00:54:30.120 think that's
00:54:30.540 what's happening
00:54:30.980 to us?
00:54:32.400 Now, in the
00:54:33.100 United States,
00:54:33.660 it wouldn't be
00:54:34.060 to destroy
00:54:34.640 the country,
00:54:35.180 it would be
00:54:35.380 to change
00:54:35.820 the leadership,
00:54:37.040 to make
00:54:37.360 sure the
00:54:37.740 leadership was
00:54:39.200 on board
00:54:39.680 with climate
00:54:40.380 and abortion
00:54:40.980 and identity
00:54:41.660 and DEI.
00:54:43.480 So, here's
00:54:44.680 the capacity.
00:54:46.140 First, you
00:54:46.620 come up with
00:54:47.120 these things
00:54:47.620 that seem
00:54:48.080 bigger than
00:54:48.820 the country.
00:54:50.420 You know,
00:54:50.740 hey, you've
00:54:51.460 got to have
00:54:51.700 DEI, you've
00:54:53.000 got to have
00:54:53.720 climate, you've
00:54:55.360 got to have
00:54:55.640 identity, and
00:54:56.940 you make that
00:54:57.380 bigger than
00:54:58.060 people's
00:54:58.740 patriotism, and
00:55:00.180 then you can
00:55:00.900 control the
00:55:02.000 country by
00:55:03.740 controlling those
00:55:04.520 things.
00:55:05.620 So, the fact
00:55:06.300 that for most
00:55:07.840 of the last
00:55:08.800 20 years, if
00:55:10.320 you went in
00:55:10.800 public and
00:55:11.300 spoke out
00:55:11.800 against DEI,
00:55:12.800 climate, abortion,
00:55:13.820 or identity, it
00:55:15.180 would be the
00:55:15.580 end of your
00:55:16.220 professional career.
00:55:18.460 Do you think
00:55:19.240 that's a
00:55:19.640 coincidence?
00:55:20.740 No.
00:55:21.680 That looks
00:55:22.320 exactly like
00:55:23.100 these are
00:55:23.540 meant for
00:55:24.240 capacity building,
00:55:25.800 and these are
00:55:26.520 not even real
00:55:27.080 topics, meaning
00:55:28.420 that if they
00:55:29.360 were not
00:55:29.720 introduced by
00:55:30.920 people who
00:55:31.360 wanted to
00:55:31.740 control the
00:55:32.260 country, they
00:55:33.120 wouldn't even
00:55:33.520 be here.
00:55:35.120 We would
00:55:35.640 have been, we
00:55:36.900 don't need
00:55:37.320 DEI because
00:55:38.040 we're a
00:55:38.400 melting pot,
00:55:39.720 right?
00:55:39.980 We would
00:55:41.700 say climate
00:55:43.120 change doesn't
00:55:45.340 seem to make
00:55:45.860 sense because
00:55:46.540 India and
00:55:47.440 China aren't 1.00
00:55:47.920 going to
00:55:48.140 change, and
00:55:48.720 so there's
00:55:49.100 nothing we
00:55:49.480 can do, but
00:55:50.820 instead we
00:55:51.280 act like we're
00:55:52.460 the only ones
00:55:53.000 who can do
00:55:53.400 anything and
00:55:53.920 it's an
00:55:54.200 existential
00:55:54.540 threat.
00:55:55.220 That doesn't
00:55:55.780 make any
00:55:56.140 sense, right?
00:55:57.680 Why would you
00:55:58.400 even have that
00:55:59.200 frame unless
00:56:00.580 you were trying
00:56:01.040 to control the
00:56:02.380 country?
00:56:04.280 And identity
00:56:05.100 politics,
00:56:05.700 obviously, same
00:56:06.620 thing.
00:56:08.980 Anyway, so
00:56:12.540 it looks like
00:56:13.080 USAID is
00:56:14.380 going to be
00:56:15.260 vastly
00:56:16.960 decreased.
00:56:19.180 I told you
00:56:20.020 how James
00:56:21.020 Carville referred
00:56:22.180 to Kamala
00:56:23.220 Harris as the
00:56:23.980 seventh-string
00:56:24.800 quarterback and
00:56:26.280 said, you
00:56:26.660 know, you
00:56:26.860 can't win the
00:56:27.400 Super Bowl with
00:56:28.040 a seventh-string
00:56:28.760 quarterback.
00:56:30.120 Now, he was
00:56:31.220 asked more
00:56:31.840 about it in
00:56:32.360 another interview,
00:56:33.060 and he's
00:56:36.580 not backing
00:56:37.060 off of
00:56:37.400 that, but
00:56:38.720 here's what's
00:56:39.620 funny about
00:56:40.100 it.
00:56:41.300 Carville's
00:56:41.780 using a lot
00:56:42.420 of words to
00:56:43.640 describe that
00:56:44.300 DEI destroyed
00:56:45.260 the Democrats
00:56:45.960 because the
00:56:48.780 real story of
00:56:49.460 Kamala Harris
00:56:50.160 is not that
00:56:50.980 she was
00:56:51.540 anointed, it
00:56:53.220 was that
00:56:53.540 nobody else
00:56:54.140 could be
00:56:54.600 anointed
00:56:54.980 because of
00:56:57.240 DEI.
00:56:58.420 If she
00:56:59.200 were not
00:56:59.720 a DEI
00:57:00.980 qualified
00:57:02.020 candidate,
00:57:03.060 do you
00:57:03.620 think she
00:57:03.940 would have
00:57:04.200 been picked
00:57:04.820 without any
00:57:06.320 process?
00:57:07.800 No.
00:57:08.380 I think the
00:57:08.800 thing that
00:57:09.280 allowed them
00:57:09.920 to say,
00:57:10.560 okay, this
00:57:11.040 is obvious,
00:57:12.400 you know, this
00:57:12.740 is the way to
00:57:13.180 go, people
00:57:13.660 will be okay
00:57:14.160 with it, is
00:57:14.660 that she was
00:57:15.120 female and
00:57:15.640 black, and
00:57:17.400 that made
00:57:17.780 it okay.
00:57:19.200 So Carville's
00:57:19.980 so close, but
00:57:22.560 we'll see how
00:57:23.540 brave he is
00:57:24.160 because he
00:57:24.560 knows it's a
00:57:25.140 DEI problem.
00:57:26.220 You know he
00:57:26.700 knows, right?
00:57:27.800 Because he's
00:57:28.420 not dumb, he's
00:57:29.360 been around, he
00:57:30.100 knows exactly
00:57:30.720 what the problem
00:57:31.300 is, and I
00:57:32.780 think before
00:57:33.300 he's actually, he
00:57:34.180 may have
00:57:34.440 actually made a
00:57:35.060 reference to
00:57:35.540 the fact that
00:57:36.660 they, you
00:57:37.220 know, they
00:57:37.440 couldn't leave
00:57:37.900 the DEI, or
00:57:39.020 let's say the
00:57:39.680 identity, I
00:57:40.700 think they
00:57:40.980 would say it's
00:57:41.380 an identity
00:57:41.900 thing.
00:57:44.080 But he's so
00:57:44.780 close to being
00:57:45.540 a Republican.
00:57:46.560 Claudia was
00:57:47.320 leaving for her
00:57:47.940 pickleball
00:57:48.340 tournament.
00:57:48.920 I've been
00:57:49.140 visualizing my
00:57:49.940 match all
00:57:50.600 week.
00:57:51.400 She was so
00:57:52.000 focused on
00:57:52.500 visualizing that
00:57:53.380 she didn't see
00:57:53.980 the column behind
00:57:54.640 her car on her
00:57:55.540 backhand side.
00:57:57.400 Good thing
00:57:58.080 Claudia's with
00:57:58.700 Intact, the
00:57:59.520 insurer with the
00:58:00.320 largest network of
00:58:01.180 auto service
00:58:01.680 centers in the
00:58:02.460 country.
00:58:03.140 Everything was
00:58:03.640 taken care of
00:58:04.280 under one roof, and
00:58:05.280 she was on her
00:58:05.820 way in a rental
00:58:06.380 car in no time.
00:58:07.560 I made it to my
00:58:08.500 tournament and lost
00:58:10.000 in the first round.
00:58:11.060 But you got there
00:58:12.060 on time.
00:58:12.900 Intact insurance,
00:58:14.060 your auto service
00:58:14.800 ace.
00:58:15.520 Certain conditions
00:58:16.040 apply.
00:58:16.420 Meanwhile, the DNC
00:58:18.580 has picked a new
00:58:19.340 chairperson, Ken
00:58:21.080 Martin.
00:58:22.420 Let me explain
00:58:23.500 Ken Martin.
00:58:25.080 He's the whitest 0.97
00:58:26.160 man in America,
00:58:26.880 and if you'd like
00:58:30.020 to know how
00:58:30.520 white he is, I
00:58:32.320 think I can do a
00:58:33.040 good impression of
00:58:33.800 his dancing for
00:58:34.700 TikTok.
00:58:36.600 So this will tell
00:58:37.600 you, you know,
00:58:38.540 does he just look
00:58:39.580 white, or is he
00:58:41.300 white like all the 1.00
00:58:42.340 way through?
00:58:42.760 Well, here's him
00:58:44.420 dancing.
00:58:51.980 I rest my case.
00:58:53.360 He's as white as 1.00
00:58:53.980 you could possibly
00:58:54.560 be.
00:58:55.500 Can't get whiter
00:58:56.420 than that.
00:58:56.780 If you're listening
00:59:00.620 on audio, I just
00:59:02.280 did a hilarious
00:59:03.080 impression of a
00:59:04.220 white man dancing
00:59:05.060 with no rhythm
00:59:06.100 whatsoever.
00:59:07.200 How did I do such
00:59:08.380 a good impression?
00:59:09.960 Well, it's a trick.
00:59:12.100 It just turns out
00:59:12.960 that's how I dance.
00:59:14.400 Sorry.
00:59:15.700 So yes, the
00:59:16.700 whitest man in
00:59:17.400 America is the
00:59:18.280 chair, but at
00:59:19.880 least they added
00:59:21.060 some diversity for
00:59:22.900 the vice chair,
00:59:24.380 which is David
00:59:25.660 Hogg.
00:59:26.780 The young man
00:59:27.800 who's the
00:59:28.140 anti-gun
00:59:28.720 advocate.
00:59:30.800 So two of the
00:59:32.260 whitest men in
00:59:33.060 America.
00:59:35.020 Now, how does
00:59:36.780 that work?
00:59:39.400 Because I saw
00:59:40.940 all the candidates
00:59:41.880 who were trying
00:59:43.420 out for the head
00:59:44.020 of the DNC, and
00:59:45.880 it seemed to me
00:59:47.180 from the few
00:59:47.840 things I saw
00:59:48.540 that the vast
00:59:49.400 majority of them
00:59:50.400 fit into the
00:59:52.080 non-white man
00:59:53.180 category.
00:59:53.700 how did the
00:59:57.180 Democrats end
00:59:58.000 up picking two
00:59:59.020 white guys to 0.55
00:59:59.720 be the head
01:00:00.160 when identity
01:00:02.480 is so important
01:00:03.360 and their
01:00:04.680 entire party's
01:00:05.880 thrust is,
01:00:07.940 you know,
01:00:08.080 we're not the
01:00:08.560 white man
01:00:08.920 party.
01:00:11.380 Separately,
01:00:12.700 and I think it
01:00:13.220 was Politico,
01:00:14.660 there was an
01:00:15.220 article about
01:00:16.000 Democrat black 0.77
01:00:17.740 women who 0.99
01:00:19.100 were sort of
01:00:19.700 saying,
01:00:20.000 all right,
01:00:20.460 well, we'll
01:00:20.760 just move on
01:00:21.660 with their
01:00:21.960 lives because
01:00:22.580 we lost.
01:00:24.280 And I say
01:00:25.980 to myself,
01:00:27.080 how can the
01:00:28.760 Democrats ever
01:00:29.500 come back?
01:00:30.860 Because if
01:00:31.660 they pick
01:00:33.420 people based
01:00:34.180 on, I
01:00:35.060 assume, they
01:00:35.560 thought these
01:00:35.980 were the most
01:00:36.660 capable people.
01:00:39.900 And, well,
01:00:40.740 Hogg is an
01:00:41.540 interesting case
01:00:42.400 because he's
01:00:43.320 more like the
01:00:43.980 future.
01:00:45.300 So if they
01:00:46.500 say he's
01:00:46.920 not quite
01:00:47.400 ready, but
01:00:48.260 we can, you
01:00:49.580 know, we can
01:00:49.960 nurture him and
01:00:50.640 turn him into a
01:00:51.280 candidate later,
01:00:52.300 that's actually a
01:00:53.020 good play.
01:00:53.920 So I wouldn't
01:00:55.600 give them a
01:00:56.040 hard time for
01:00:56.960 having somebody
01:00:57.940 who's a, you
01:00:58.900 know, a
01:00:59.160 neophyte.
01:00:59.800 It's a good
01:01:00.160 starting place.
01:01:01.060 I think, I
01:01:01.900 think he's, his
01:01:02.960 activism has
01:01:03.860 earned him, you
01:01:05.240 know, a spot at
01:01:06.560 the show.
01:01:08.700 But he's the,
01:01:09.780 he's seriously
01:01:10.400 anti-gun.
01:01:11.380 They're both white 0.97
01:01:12.380 as you could
01:01:12.780 possibly be and
01:01:13.700 male.
01:01:14.980 So unless one
01:01:15.900 of them is
01:01:16.300 gay and I
01:01:16.820 don't know
01:01:17.180 it, doesn't
01:01:19.020 that make an
01:01:19.740 internal civil
01:01:21.520 war?
01:01:22.840 How in the
01:01:23.500 world do
01:01:23.880 Democrats get
01:01:25.160 okay with that?
01:01:25.800 And then what
01:01:26.140 are they going
01:01:26.500 to do when
01:01:26.840 they pick a
01:01:27.320 candidate?
01:01:28.520 Are they going
01:01:28.920 to pick a
01:01:29.280 white guy
01:01:29.700 candidate?
01:01:30.780 Because I
01:01:31.300 think the
01:01:31.720 Democrats
01:01:32.160 thought that
01:01:33.760 Kamala lost 0.53
01:01:34.560 because of
01:01:35.100 racism and
01:01:35.840 sexism.
01:01:37.340 That's what
01:01:37.920 basically everybody
01:01:38.800 running for the
01:01:39.420 job thought.
01:01:41.120 So is it
01:01:42.080 possible that the
01:01:43.720 Democrats are
01:01:44.380 so dumb that
01:01:46.420 they think that
01:01:47.040 the only thing
01:01:47.600 they need to
01:01:48.080 do to win is
01:01:48.800 to run a
01:01:49.260 white guy next
01:01:50.880 time?
01:01:52.180 Is that going
01:01:52.840 to happen?
01:01:54.360 I would love
01:01:55.280 to see them
01:01:55.780 make that
01:01:56.160 mistake.
01:01:57.280 No, that's
01:01:57.720 not the right
01:01:58.180 way to go.
01:02:00.480 That's definitely
01:02:01.260 not the right
01:02:01.860 way to go for
01:02:03.200 them.
01:02:03.860 But they don't
01:02:04.600 have a right
01:02:05.340 way to go.
01:02:06.460 There is
01:02:06.920 actually no
01:02:07.600 solution given
01:02:09.000 their current
01:02:09.480 setup.
01:02:09.880 If they go
01:02:11.480 capability, then
01:02:12.880 they violate
01:02:13.920 their DEI
01:02:14.660 principles.
01:02:15.540 If they go
01:02:15.920 DEI, they'll
01:02:16.820 lose again.
01:02:18.060 That's the only
01:02:18.580 two paths.
01:02:19.980 Pro-DEI, you
01:02:21.020 lose.
01:02:22.180 Anti-DEI, you
01:02:23.960 lose.
01:02:25.160 Two losing
01:02:25.680 paths.
01:02:27.340 So, yeah, no
01:02:28.680 hope.
01:02:29.940 Well, this is the
01:02:31.100 biggest surprise
01:02:31.820 ever, according to
01:02:32.860 Interesting Engineering.
01:02:35.000 And Sujita Sina
01:02:36.320 says that China
01:02:38.640 is blaming U.S.
01:02:39.640 hackers for the
01:02:40.920 hacking attack
01:02:43.000 on DeepSeek.
01:02:44.580 So, DeepSeek is
01:02:45.480 that allegedly
01:02:47.400 super cheap AI
01:02:48.880 that came out
01:02:49.500 of China.
01:02:50.800 And as soon
01:02:51.740 as, practically
01:02:52.440 as soon as it
01:02:53.160 made the news,
01:02:54.060 it got attacked
01:02:54.740 by a denial
01:02:55.520 of service.
01:02:56.860 Very persistent
01:02:57.740 attack that I
01:02:58.540 think is still
01:02:59.120 doing its thing.
01:03:00.820 And China says
01:03:01.780 every one of the
01:03:02.680 attacks is coming
01:03:04.900 from the United
01:03:05.420 States.
01:03:06.460 Do you think
01:03:07.120 that's true?
01:03:09.360 I don't know.
01:03:10.760 I mean, it's not
01:03:11.280 the sort of thing
01:03:11.880 that countries
01:03:12.400 necessarily tell you
01:03:14.100 the truth about.
01:03:15.420 And I always
01:03:16.700 thought that if
01:03:17.240 you're a good
01:03:17.720 hacker, you
01:03:19.100 could somehow
01:03:19.560 disguise the
01:03:20.520 source.
01:03:21.740 Is that not
01:03:22.560 true?
01:03:23.760 There's no such
01:03:24.620 thing as hackers
01:03:25.380 who are good
01:03:26.260 enough to do
01:03:26.940 something like
01:03:27.520 this.
01:03:30.600 Don't they have
01:03:31.300 a way to disguise
01:03:32.040 their origin?
01:03:33.820 Like, how
01:03:34.200 could he even
01:03:34.660 be a hacker?
01:03:36.320 If everybody
01:03:36.880 can tell
01:03:37.280 where it
01:03:37.560 came from.
01:03:39.460 I don't know.
01:03:45.540 All right.
01:03:46.540 I got to look
01:03:47.220 at this comment.
01:03:54.160 Mentions of,
01:03:55.200 all right.
01:03:56.260 I think I won't
01:03:56.960 mention that.
01:03:59.260 Mike Burt.
01:04:00.060 But noted.
01:04:03.880 Noted.
01:04:06.320 Anyway.
01:04:07.680 So, yeah.
01:04:08.660 My first
01:04:09.520 impression was
01:04:11.100 it's American
01:04:12.080 companies or the
01:04:13.120 government going
01:04:13.700 after that.
01:04:15.420 Deep Seek.
01:04:16.480 So, the latest
01:04:17.140 guess is that
01:04:19.880 Deep Seek
01:04:20.340 probably cost
01:04:21.120 well over a
01:04:21.940 billion dollars,
01:04:22.800 not six million
01:04:24.220 dollars to make.
01:04:25.380 So, that was
01:04:26.100 always BS.
01:04:27.560 The Gateway
01:04:27.960 Pundits
01:04:28.360 reporting that
01:04:29.120 DOJ is
01:04:30.260 opening an
01:04:30.720 investigation into
01:04:31.540 Chuck Schumer
01:04:32.220 for threatening
01:04:33.900 the Supreme
01:04:34.540 Court justices.
01:04:36.060 And I didn't
01:04:36.940 even remember
01:04:37.540 that.
01:04:38.880 I mean, I
01:04:39.640 remembered it
01:04:40.200 when I was
01:04:40.540 reminded of it,
01:04:41.380 but it didn't
01:04:43.060 seem important to
01:04:44.200 me at the time.
01:04:45.240 But maybe it is.
01:04:46.660 So, here's what
01:04:47.460 Schumer said in
01:04:49.760 public at a
01:04:50.440 pro-abortion
01:04:50.980 rally in 2020.
01:04:52.080 He said that
01:04:53.620 the two
01:04:54.760 justices, that
01:04:57.660 he didn't like
01:04:58.540 their decisions,
01:04:59.740 he said they
01:05:00.260 would, quote,
01:05:00.800 pay the price
01:05:01.640 for overturning
01:05:03.080 Roe versus
01:05:03.500 Wade.
01:05:05.280 And so, that's
01:05:06.400 before they
01:05:06.860 actually did it.
01:05:07.460 He was warning
01:05:07.880 them.
01:05:08.540 And then he
01:05:08.920 said, I want
01:05:09.500 to tell you,
01:05:10.140 Gorsuch, I want
01:05:11.380 to tell you,
01:05:12.020 Kavanaugh, you
01:05:13.020 have released
01:05:13.560 the whirlwind and
01:05:15.040 you will pay the
01:05:15.760 price, Schumer
01:05:16.960 said.
01:05:17.800 You won't know
01:05:18.660 what hit you if
01:05:19.580 you go forward
01:05:20.260 with these awful
01:05:20.940 decisions.
01:05:22.080 Now, how do
01:05:24.500 you interpret
01:05:25.100 that?
01:05:27.240 Is anybody
01:05:28.480 aware of any
01:05:31.080 case where
01:05:31.980 Supreme Court
01:05:32.800 justices were
01:05:33.960 somehow legally
01:05:36.900 or politically
01:05:37.580 attacked?
01:05:39.780 Like, what
01:05:40.240 exactly would
01:05:41.020 happen to the
01:05:41.540 justices?
01:05:42.680 They know when
01:05:43.500 they take the
01:05:44.060 job that half 0.91
01:05:45.560 the country is
01:05:46.140 going to hate
01:05:46.540 every one of
01:05:47.060 their decisions.
01:05:48.620 So, if Schumer
01:05:50.140 is just going
01:05:50.700 to say, we're
01:05:51.220 going to hate
01:05:51.520 this decision,
01:05:52.680 would that
01:05:53.400 have any
01:05:53.740 impact on
01:05:54.240 the Supreme
01:05:54.620 Court?
01:05:55.720 What exactly
01:05:56.760 did Schumer
01:05:57.920 think he
01:05:58.420 could do
01:05:58.940 to these
01:05:59.580 specific
01:06:00.080 justices?
01:06:01.420 Now, if
01:06:02.780 you're asking
01:06:03.160 me if it's
01:06:03.640 inappropriate,
01:06:04.600 oh, by
01:06:05.020 God, yes.
01:06:05.960 That's pretty
01:06:06.680 inappropriate.
01:06:08.140 But is it
01:06:09.340 illegal?
01:06:11.420 Is it
01:06:12.040 illegal?
01:06:12.860 Or are they
01:06:13.460 only looking
01:06:14.000 at it in
01:06:15.080 terms of
01:06:15.480 maybe impeaching
01:06:16.600 Schumer for
01:06:17.560 bad judgment?
01:06:20.520 I don't
01:06:20.760 know.
01:06:21.820 So, it
01:06:22.340 seems like
01:06:22.900 here's where
01:06:24.580 I am at
01:06:24.920 this.
01:06:26.680 Trump says
01:06:27.520 a lot of
01:06:28.600 hyperbolic
01:06:29.380 things.
01:06:31.340 Do we
01:06:31.920 take every
01:06:32.420 one of
01:06:32.680 those as
01:06:33.160 a literal?
01:06:34.560 We don't,
01:06:35.360 do we?
01:06:35.840 We don't
01:06:36.260 take it as
01:06:36.660 literal.
01:06:37.540 We just
01:06:38.020 know when
01:06:38.380 he's
01:06:38.640 threatening
01:06:39.160 and that
01:06:40.480 sort of
01:06:40.760 thing.
01:06:41.800 Now, I
01:06:42.760 think the
01:06:43.060 way Schumer
01:06:43.580 played it
01:06:44.120 by naming
01:06:45.380 names,
01:06:46.420 that's
01:06:46.960 pretty scary.
01:06:50.100 And it
01:06:50.380 does seem
01:06:50.840 like it
01:06:51.220 would have
01:06:51.480 the effect
01:06:52.300 of biasing
01:06:53.700 the court
01:06:54.300 because they
01:06:55.380 might want
01:06:55.680 to stay
01:06:55.960 alive or
01:06:56.660 not be
01:06:57.800 attacked in
01:06:58.360 some way
01:06:58.740 that they
01:06:59.060 don't see
01:06:59.400 coming.
01:07:00.460 So, yeah,
01:07:00.980 I think it
01:07:01.360 was definitely
01:07:02.960 worth investigating.
01:07:05.160 But I'm
01:07:05.960 not sure
01:07:06.500 that I'd
01:07:07.740 want him to
01:07:08.080 go to jail
01:07:08.760 if there's
01:07:09.700 any kind
01:07:10.080 of law he
01:07:10.520 broke.
01:07:11.260 Because that
01:07:11.820 would be,
01:07:12.920 that's going
01:07:13.420 to feel
01:07:13.680 law fair-ish.
01:07:15.600 If they
01:07:16.160 investigate
01:07:16.620 him and
01:07:17.300 rebuke him
01:07:18.200 or, you
01:07:19.240 know, give
01:07:19.500 him some
01:07:19.760 kind of
01:07:20.100 censure in
01:07:20.680 the Senate
01:07:22.000 or they
01:07:23.140 even do
01:07:23.580 an impeachment,
01:07:25.060 I would
01:07:25.380 say, yeah,
01:07:26.160 that seems
01:07:26.600 about right.
01:07:28.580 But I
01:07:28.760 wouldn't, you
01:07:29.560 know, if it
01:07:30.200 turns out
01:07:30.600 there's a
01:07:31.060 law that's
01:07:32.300 technically
01:07:32.740 broken, I
01:07:34.560 don't know.
01:07:35.200 That would
01:07:35.660 be a tough
01:07:36.140 one.
01:07:37.100 As much
01:07:37.700 as I want
01:07:38.140 to say
01:07:38.480 nobody's
01:07:39.220 above the
01:07:39.680 law,
01:07:39.980 if we're
01:07:40.900 going to
01:07:41.080 say that
01:07:41.660 nobody would
01:07:43.140 have been
01:07:43.560 taken to
01:07:44.860 all these
01:07:45.260 lawfare
01:07:45.820 situations
01:07:46.500 except Trump,
01:07:47.920 which is
01:07:48.320 true, maybe
01:07:50.400 there's an
01:07:51.040 equivalent one
01:07:51.620 on the other
01:07:52.020 side.
01:07:52.760 So here's
01:07:53.080 the reason
01:07:53.340 I bring
01:07:53.660 this up.
01:07:56.000 I feel
01:07:56.740 some
01:07:56.980 responsibility
01:07:57.660 as a
01:07:58.540 citizen
01:07:58.900 to make
01:08:01.600 sure that
01:08:02.300 the winning
01:08:03.180 side stays
01:08:05.400 within bounds.
01:08:07.280 Now,
01:08:07.440 sometimes I
01:08:08.100 like to let
01:08:08.620 them color
01:08:09.080 outside the
01:08:09.720 lines, not
01:08:10.340 let them,
01:08:10.820 they're just
01:08:11.160 going to do
01:08:11.500 it.
01:08:12.000 So sometimes
01:08:12.560 you don't
01:08:12.920 mind if they
01:08:13.420 color outside
01:08:14.000 the lines if
01:08:15.400 they're getting
01:08:15.740 something done.
01:08:17.120 So I don't
01:08:17.940 mind whatsoever
01:08:18.700 if Trump
01:08:19.860 stretches the
01:08:21.680 power of the
01:08:22.460 executive.
01:08:23.480 Say, well,
01:08:24.260 you know, you
01:08:24.740 think I can't
01:08:25.360 do it, but I'm
01:08:25.980 going to try it
01:08:26.420 anyway.
01:08:26.980 Let's see if I
01:08:27.420 get away with
01:08:27.920 it.
01:08:28.160 I don't mind
01:08:28.540 that at all
01:08:29.060 because those
01:08:30.120 are transparently
01:08:31.200 for the benefit
01:08:32.140 of the
01:08:32.420 country, what
01:08:33.980 else would
01:08:34.320 they be?
01:08:35.960 It's not
01:08:36.600 transparently for
01:08:37.600 his benefit.
01:08:38.280 He's not even
01:08:38.760 running for
01:08:39.180 office again.
01:08:40.320 So if he's
01:08:41.060 doing something
01:08:41.520 that's obviously
01:08:42.420 and transparently
01:08:43.600 for my benefit,
01:08:46.320 yeah, you can
01:08:47.340 color a little
01:08:48.040 bit outside the
01:08:48.860 lines.
01:08:49.660 But when it
01:08:50.220 comes to putting
01:08:50.820 other people in
01:08:51.700 jail, if it
01:08:53.160 comes to that,
01:08:54.380 that's where all
01:08:55.320 of us have to
01:08:56.100 be responsible
01:08:57.440 citizens first
01:08:58.520 and political
01:09:00.180 second.
01:09:01.200 Now, we
01:09:02.300 wish that the
01:09:03.060 Democrats had
01:09:03.700 done the same.
01:09:04.580 They didn't.
01:09:06.300 But I feel like
01:09:07.400 we could hold
01:09:07.880 ourselves to a
01:09:08.580 higher standard.
01:09:09.920 So this one, I'm
01:09:10.680 going to keep my
01:09:11.140 eye on it.
01:09:12.560 If it's not a
01:09:14.080 prison risk,
01:09:17.360 then I'd be
01:09:18.840 okay with
01:09:19.280 wherever it
01:09:19.740 goes.
01:09:20.740 But if you're
01:09:21.520 really talking
01:09:21.980 about putting
01:09:22.600 Schumer in
01:09:23.200 prison, well,
01:09:24.560 then I'm going
01:09:24.880 to ask some
01:09:25.220 more questions.
01:09:26.040 And I think
01:09:26.420 that that's
01:09:26.820 appropriate.
01:09:28.060 In the end, I
01:09:29.000 might say, you
01:09:29.540 know what, this
01:09:29.980 was so bad.
01:09:31.460 That's why the
01:09:32.160 law exists, if
01:09:32.980 there is a
01:09:33.340 law.
01:09:34.120 So I could
01:09:34.780 be convinced,
01:09:36.800 but I think
01:09:37.700 the most
01:09:39.360 responsible
01:09:40.200 position is,
01:09:41.920 you're going to
01:09:42.280 have to prove
01:09:42.740 this one.
01:09:43.840 You're going to
01:09:44.260 have to prove
01:09:44.740 this.
01:09:45.440 And I'm not
01:09:46.200 satisfied yet,
01:09:47.840 if it's going to
01:09:48.660 be anything
01:09:49.020 legal.
01:09:51.080 So don't be
01:09:52.880 like them, is
01:09:53.620 what I'm
01:09:53.880 saying.
01:09:54.180 So there's
01:09:56.980 an article in
01:09:57.440 The Guardian
01:09:57.860 in which the
01:09:59.200 title is,
01:09:59.940 Female 0.86
01:10:00.260 Narcissism
01:10:01.060 is Often
01:10:01.560 Misdiagnosed.
01:10:03.500 Now, I
01:10:05.260 don't care
01:10:05.620 about that
01:10:06.000 topic.
01:10:08.080 It's true.
01:10:09.040 I'm sure
01:10:09.440 female narcissism 0.99
01:10:10.780 is underdiagnosed.
01:10:12.600 But what was
01:10:14.060 interesting is the
01:10:14.840 propaganda in it.
01:10:16.700 So as they're
01:10:17.760 talking about just
01:10:18.440 narcissism in
01:10:19.400 general,
01:10:19.700 here's a
01:10:21.840 sentence in
01:10:23.740 The Guardian's
01:10:24.440 article.
01:10:25.540 So this is in
01:10:26.200 case you think
01:10:26.720 The Guardian is
01:10:27.480 a responsible
01:10:28.560 publication.
01:10:31.080 They're not.
01:10:32.540 This actual
01:10:33.340 sentence is in
01:10:34.400 that story.
01:10:35.520 Quote,
01:10:36.200 From Charles
01:10:37.280 Manson and
01:10:37.980 Ted Bundy to
01:10:38.880 Joseph Stalin,
01:10:40.280 Adolf Hitler, 0.80
01:10:41.340 and Donald
01:10:43.040 Trump,
01:10:44.240 most famous
01:10:45.260 people we
01:10:45.860 consider
01:10:46.280 psychopathic or
01:10:47.460 narcissistic are
01:10:48.820 male.
01:10:49.700 Wait a minute.
01:10:51.300 Let me read
01:10:51.700 that sentence
01:10:52.620 again.
01:10:53.720 Charles Manson,
01:10:54.700 Ted Bundy,
01:10:55.460 Joseph Stalin,
01:10:56.320 Adolf Hitler, 0.80
01:10:57.100 Donald Trump.
01:10:59.780 Oh, come
01:11:00.740 on.
01:11:02.400 They just
01:11:03.240 dropped that
01:11:03.840 in there like
01:11:05.240 that's some
01:11:05.720 kind of a
01:11:06.440 fact that
01:11:09.160 Trump should
01:11:09.660 be in the
01:11:10.020 same list
01:11:10.480 with serial
01:11:11.080 killers,
01:11:11.960 Stalin,
01:11:12.640 and Hitler. 0.69
01:11:15.080 Come on.
01:11:16.860 That is
01:11:17.760 so repulsive.
01:11:20.460 That they
01:11:20.980 just dropped
01:11:21.560 that in there.
01:11:22.240 And the
01:11:22.760 thing is,
01:11:23.260 it's not
01:11:23.640 even a
01:11:24.000 political story.
01:11:25.620 And they
01:11:26.100 just drop
01:11:26.620 that in there
01:11:27.120 like you're
01:11:27.580 going to
01:11:27.680 accept it
01:11:28.120 like a
01:11:28.400 fact.
01:11:28.740 Uh-huh.
01:11:29.080 Yeah.
01:11:29.940 Lenin.
01:11:30.540 Uh-huh.
01:11:31.500 Yeah.
01:11:31.660 Makes sense.
01:11:32.240 Stalin. 0.56
01:11:32.900 Not Lenin.
01:11:33.700 But Stalin,
01:11:34.620 Hitler,
01:11:35.140 Trump.
01:11:35.680 Yeah.
01:11:36.300 Same list.
01:11:37.480 I can see why
01:11:38.080 that would be
01:11:38.380 the same.
01:11:39.460 You motherfuckers.
01:11:40.980 You people at
01:11:42.040 the Guardian are
01:11:42.640 just shit.
01:11:44.860 There's an editor
01:11:45.760 who let that in.
01:11:47.100 So it would be
01:11:47.860 one thing if a
01:11:48.580 writer wrote it
01:11:49.300 and it snuck in,
01:11:50.200 but there was an
01:11:50.920 editor who looked
01:11:51.780 at it.
01:11:52.940 Whoever that
01:11:53.480 editor was,
01:11:55.100 you suck. 0.98
01:11:56.400 You were a
01:11:57.020 damaging piece
01:11:58.420 of shit for
01:11:59.800 doing that.
01:12:00.940 That is
01:12:02.200 unforgivable.
01:12:04.380 Un-fucking
01:12:04.940 forgivable.
01:12:06.280 The Guardian.
01:12:07.500 What a joke.
01:12:10.200 What are they
01:12:10.560 guarding?
01:12:11.480 Their own
01:12:12.120 stupidity?
01:12:12.660 Well,
01:12:15.020 Netanyahu's 0.69
01:12:15.740 coming to the
01:12:16.440 U.S.
01:12:16.760 to meet
01:12:17.340 with Trump.
01:12:19.640 I would
01:12:20.320 guess that
01:12:21.020 that's going
01:12:21.440 to be a
01:12:21.820 productive
01:12:22.280 meeting.
01:12:23.260 I also
01:12:23.940 guess that
01:12:24.560 it's going
01:12:24.840 to be
01:12:25.060 tense.
01:12:26.460 The
01:12:26.660 relationship
01:12:28.040 between
01:12:28.640 Netanyahu
01:12:29.240 and Trump
01:12:29.980 is pretty
01:12:30.440 interesting
01:12:30.840 because they're
01:12:33.800 both strong.
01:12:35.160 They're both
01:12:35.840 negotiators.
01:12:37.100 I think they
01:12:38.000 have a real
01:12:38.760 respect for
01:12:39.560 each other,
01:12:40.140 but they
01:12:40.540 don't have
01:12:41.060 all the same
01:12:41.840 objectives.
01:12:42.660 It's a
01:12:44.620 real interesting
01:12:45.340 dynamic just
01:12:46.320 because they're
01:12:46.900 so smart and
01:12:47.960 so good at
01:12:48.400 what they
01:12:48.660 do,
01:12:49.700 persuasion-wise
01:12:50.820 and politically,
01:12:52.340 that you
01:12:54.180 put the two
01:12:54.620 of them in
01:12:54.900 a room and
01:12:55.520 I think
01:12:58.040 something good
01:12:58.620 could come
01:12:59.140 out of it
01:12:59.480 most of
01:12:59.880 the time.
01:13:02.160 Here's what
01:13:02.880 I think.
01:13:04.620 The big
01:13:05.540 question,
01:13:06.220 and only
01:13:06.680 Trump can
01:13:07.280 sell this,
01:13:08.520 is what
01:13:08.960 do you do
01:13:09.340 with Gaza
01:13:09.920 now that
01:13:10.860 it's basically
01:13:12.000 unlivable
01:13:12.680 and ruined,
01:13:13.580 but people
01:13:15.120 want to go
01:13:15.500 back anyway.
01:13:16.520 They want
01:13:16.800 to go back
01:13:17.200 and live
01:13:17.820 in the
01:13:18.060 ruin,
01:13:18.420 I guess,
01:13:19.480 because it
01:13:19.980 would take
01:13:20.240 a long
01:13:20.820 time to
01:13:21.200 fix it.
01:13:22.100 It seems
01:13:22.460 like it
01:13:22.760 would be
01:13:23.020 toxic.
01:13:24.920 Trump has
01:13:25.800 teased the
01:13:26.960 idea that
01:13:28.880 the residents
01:13:30.160 might be put
01:13:31.560 in other
01:13:31.920 countries,
01:13:32.900 and then
01:13:33.540 Gaza just
01:13:34.460 gets basically
01:13:35.300 bulldozed and
01:13:36.180 turned into
01:13:36.680 something awesome,
01:13:37.460 but in its
01:13:38.900 own time.
01:13:40.040 There would
01:13:40.320 be no rush
01:13:40.920 to repatriate
01:13:41.900 anybody because
01:13:43.620 there wouldn't
01:13:44.000 be anything to
01:13:44.600 repatriate them
01:13:45.360 to that's
01:13:46.140 worth being
01:13:47.360 there, and
01:13:49.240 so finding
01:13:49.800 some other
01:13:50.200 countries to
01:13:50.720 take them.
01:13:51.780 But as
01:13:52.620 you know,
01:13:53.040 no other
01:13:53.400 country wants
01:13:53.960 them because
01:13:55.100 it's just
01:13:55.480 trouble.
01:13:56.860 I think for
01:13:57.880 purely political
01:13:58.860 reasons, the
01:14:00.240 pressure should
01:14:00.800 be on Iran.
01:14:02.580 Now, I don't
01:14:03.380 think there's
01:14:03.720 any chance
01:14:04.320 that Iran 0.91
01:14:05.260 would take
01:14:05.720 all the
01:14:06.140 Gazans into
01:14:07.040 Iran, but
01:14:08.880 they should
01:14:09.360 have to
01:14:09.700 answer for
01:14:10.180 it.
01:14:11.180 If they're
01:14:11.860 the ones
01:14:12.300 who are
01:14:12.600 behind, you
01:14:13.900 know, backing
01:14:14.660 the badness
01:14:15.700 that got
01:14:16.200 Gaza in this
01:14:16.900 situation, I
01:14:18.120 think they
01:14:18.480 broke it, they 1.00
01:14:19.360 bought it.
01:14:20.900 And even if
01:14:22.080 you don't think
01:14:22.620 that would be a
01:14:23.440 productive line
01:14:24.340 of attack, like
01:14:25.380 they'll just
01:14:25.720 say, no, you
01:14:26.580 broke it, you
01:14:27.920 bought it, I
01:14:29.600 think it would
01:14:29.980 at least change
01:14:30.560 the frame.
01:14:32.080 So the frame
01:14:32.980 is Iran did 0.96
01:14:34.700 this to you,
01:14:35.720 and they're
01:14:36.360 not willing
01:14:36.800 to make
01:14:37.340 good on
01:14:37.680 it.
01:14:38.700 So we're
01:14:39.360 not going
01:14:39.640 to correct
01:14:40.040 Iran's 0.89
01:14:40.720 mistake or
01:14:41.620 what Iran
01:14:42.220 did to
01:14:42.600 you.
01:14:43.300 We can
01:14:44.340 maybe rebuild
01:14:45.320 the area, and
01:14:46.160 in some cases
01:14:47.280 maybe some
01:14:48.240 people could
01:14:48.760 come back
01:14:49.140 someday.
01:14:50.160 But I
01:14:51.460 think only
01:14:52.060 Trump, only
01:14:54.060 Trump can
01:14:55.440 say nobody's
01:14:56.400 going back to
01:14:57.040 Gaza.
01:14:58.420 And I don't
01:14:59.200 think there's
01:14:59.620 another way to
01:15:00.180 round it.
01:15:01.020 I don't think
01:15:01.480 there's another
01:15:01.940 way in the
01:15:02.520 real world.
01:15:03.760 I just don't
01:15:04.560 think there's a
01:15:05.000 way to play it
01:15:05.560 where people
01:15:05.960 just go back
01:15:06.760 because they
01:15:07.640 would just
01:15:07.940 recreate the
01:15:08.620 tunnels,
01:15:09.220 recreate the
01:15:09.940 same situation
01:15:10.800 October 7th
01:15:12.100 would come
01:15:12.400 back.
01:15:13.800 So there's
01:15:14.420 no way that
01:15:14.860 Israel is
01:15:15.400 going to
01:15:15.660 say, yeah,
01:15:16.560 let's just
01:15:16.980 move back
01:15:17.560 the people
01:15:18.000 who are
01:15:18.300 really, really
01:15:18.820 mad at us.
01:15:20.580 It doesn't
01:15:21.180 make any
01:15:21.520 sense.
01:15:22.020 It would be
01:15:22.620 ridiculous.
01:15:24.360 And Trump
01:15:24.780 knows that.
01:15:25.800 So Trump's
01:15:26.480 the only one
01:15:26.900 who can say
01:15:27.280 the truth.
01:15:28.200 Nobody's
01:15:28.560 going back.
01:15:29.100 I think
01:15:30.960 that's the
01:15:31.480 part that
01:15:32.240 they have
01:15:32.600 to finesse.
01:15:33.780 Now, the
01:15:34.500 question is,
01:15:35.780 is there
01:15:36.140 some way to
01:15:36.780 say nobody's
01:15:37.840 going back,
01:15:39.200 but you do
01:15:39.740 sort of a
01:15:40.260 cat in the
01:15:40.760 roof where
01:15:41.520 you don't
01:15:41.800 say it all
01:15:42.240 at once?
01:15:43.440 So maybe
01:15:44.000 you say
01:15:44.300 things like,
01:15:45.380 well, you
01:15:46.120 know, it's
01:15:46.320 going to take
01:15:46.680 a long time
01:15:47.180 to get back
01:15:47.740 because we
01:15:48.180 have to
01:15:48.460 assess the
01:15:49.420 toxins.
01:15:50.440 And then
01:15:50.900 once they're
01:15:51.260 assessed, you 0.87
01:15:52.180 know, the
01:15:52.480 environmental
01:15:53.100 problems, once
01:15:54.360 they're upset,
01:15:55.040 once we looked
01:15:55.860 at it, then
01:15:56.420 they have to be
01:15:56.900 remediated.
01:15:57.640 That could 0.68
01:15:58.020 take a
01:15:58.380 couple of
01:15:58.640 years.
01:15:59.440 So it
01:15:59.980 could be
01:16:00.280 that the
01:16:00.720 cats on
01:16:01.380 the roof
01:16:01.820 is, we
01:16:04.180 think you
01:16:04.600 can go back
01:16:05.220 in five
01:16:05.700 years.
01:16:07.940 And then
01:16:08.480 people are
01:16:08.880 like, oh,
01:16:10.360 five years?
01:16:12.120 Yeah, five
01:16:12.920 years.
01:16:13.540 And in the
01:16:13.900 meantime, you
01:16:14.920 can either
01:16:15.280 resettle in
01:16:15.980 Iran if they 0.98
01:16:16.700 want you or
01:16:17.300 some other
01:16:17.680 country, and
01:16:19.020 you'll be at
01:16:19.760 least happy in
01:16:20.260 the meantime.
01:16:20.860 And maybe you
01:16:21.320 stay there
01:16:21.640 forever.
01:16:23.780 So I
01:16:24.280 think, so
01:16:25.260 that's what I
01:16:25.600 think.
01:16:26.200 I think they're
01:16:26.800 going to cat
01:16:27.240 and roof
01:16:27.640 it.
01:16:28.560 You're going
01:16:29.080 to see the
01:16:29.600 signal that
01:16:31.080 they're really
01:16:31.460 saying nobody's
01:16:32.220 going back, or
01:16:33.500 at least nobody's
01:16:34.060 going back for
01:16:34.600 five years.
01:16:36.860 I think that's
01:16:37.720 what's going to
01:16:38.100 come out of
01:16:38.440 it, something
01:16:39.480 that looks like
01:16:40.440 a time frame.
01:16:42.920 Meanwhile, over
01:16:43.640 in Ukraine, Forbes
01:16:45.000 is writing about
01:16:45.900 Ukraine has a
01:16:47.540 new drone
01:16:48.320 bomber that
01:16:49.740 can fly 1,200
01:16:50.620 miles with a
01:16:52.080 550-pound bomb
01:16:53.620 and then return.
01:16:54.320 So the big
01:16:56.540 thing is they
01:16:57.420 don't have a
01:16:57.880 lot of
01:16:58.140 reusable
01:16:58.760 death drones.
01:17:02.040 If you were
01:17:02.760 going to do a
01:17:03.240 long distance
01:17:04.000 with a drone,
01:17:05.580 usually the
01:17:06.280 drone itself was
01:17:07.160 the weapon, and
01:17:08.000 it just would
01:17:08.880 crash into
01:17:09.480 something and
01:17:10.000 explode.
01:17:11.120 But if you
01:17:12.040 could drop a
01:17:12.620 550-pound bomb
01:17:14.140 1,200 miles
01:17:15.180 away and then fly
01:17:15.960 back and do it
01:17:16.660 again, well,
01:17:18.420 that's a pretty
01:17:19.180 strong weapon.
01:17:20.900 Pretty strong
01:17:21.500 weapon.
01:17:22.900 So we'll see
01:17:23.620 if that makes
01:17:24.020 any difference.
01:17:25.000 And they also
01:17:25.580 have some kind
01:17:26.020 of robot that
01:17:26.680 can shoot down
01:17:27.740 drones with
01:17:29.240 electrical.
01:17:32.780 What do you
01:17:33.400 call it?
01:17:33.880 When somebody
01:17:34.640 interferes with
01:17:35.800 the drone's
01:17:36.400 navigation with
01:17:37.540 one of those
01:17:38.360 anti-drone
01:17:39.280 devices, what's
01:17:41.560 that called?
01:17:42.480 What is the
01:17:43.080 technology called?
01:17:45.160 Is it
01:17:45.700 electromagnetic
01:17:46.820 force beam?
01:17:49.840 Is there a
01:17:51.680 word for it?
01:17:52.880 I'm just
01:17:53.260 looking in the
01:17:53.720 comments.
01:17:55.600 EMP?
01:17:56.060 I don't think
01:17:56.480 it's an EMP.
01:17:57.860 It's a jammer.
01:17:58.960 Yeah, let's
01:17:59.300 call it a
01:17:59.680 disruptor or a
01:18:00.600 jammer.
01:18:01.840 Yeah, EMP
01:18:02.400 would certainly
01:18:04.480 do it, but
01:18:04.960 these are not
01:18:05.540 EMP-driven.
01:18:07.700 Yeah, these
01:18:08.160 are not EMP.
01:18:10.200 I don't think.
01:18:12.900 Or is there
01:18:13.840 like a micro
01:18:14.700 EMP?
01:18:15.140 Are the
01:18:17.700 jammers and
01:18:18.320 the disruptors
01:18:19.200 basically an
01:18:20.140 EMP, but
01:18:20.880 a micro
01:18:21.880 size, not
01:18:22.580 like a
01:18:22.920 nuclear weapon?
01:18:25.220 I'll try to
01:18:25.960 get that
01:18:26.460 lingo down.
01:18:28.620 Well, according
01:18:29.540 to the
01:18:29.760 University of
01:18:30.340 Birmingham,
01:18:30.880 there's a
01:18:31.380 freshwater
01:18:32.860 algae that
01:18:34.340 could be the
01:18:34.700 next super
01:18:35.480 food.
01:18:37.440 I would
01:18:38.080 like to do
01:18:38.660 your comments
01:18:39.440 now before
01:18:40.020 you write
01:18:40.400 them.
01:18:41.400 I ain't
01:18:41.820 going to
01:18:42.120 eat no
01:18:42.940 algae.
01:18:43.360 You can't
01:18:44.760 take my
01:18:45.240 beef away.
01:18:47.040 You can't
01:18:47.820 make me
01:18:48.240 bugs, your
01:18:49.420 world economic
01:18:50.260 forum.
01:18:51.300 I'll never
01:18:51.820 eat bugs.
01:18:52.920 I'm not
01:18:53.400 going to
01:18:53.540 eat your
01:18:53.860 algae.
01:18:55.120 I already
01:18:55.800 have algae
01:18:56.240 in my
01:18:56.600 swimming pool.
01:18:57.540 I don't
01:18:57.860 need your
01:18:58.200 extra algae.
01:18:59.160 I'll just
01:18:59.500 go lick the 0.98
01:19:00.060 sides of my
01:19:00.500 swimming pool
01:19:01.020 if I want
01:19:01.440 algae.
01:19:02.320 Stop talking
01:19:03.040 to me,
01:19:03.400 Scott.
01:19:03.860 Stop talking.
01:19:04.900 Shut up. 0.95
01:19:05.700 Nobody's
01:19:06.080 going to eat
01:19:06.380 algae.
01:19:07.020 It's going
01:19:07.280 to taste
01:19:07.580 terrible.
01:19:08.600 Don't make
01:19:09.060 me even think
01:19:09.620 about it.
01:19:10.640 Am I good?
01:19:11.960 Did I cover
01:19:12.760 everything?
01:19:14.040 Now I can
01:19:14.720 tell you
01:19:14.960 the story.
01:19:17.500 This way
01:19:18.120 you don't
01:19:18.340 have to
01:19:18.660 type it
01:19:19.100 at the
01:19:19.500 same time
01:19:19.880 I'm
01:19:20.060 talking.
01:19:21.680 But it's
01:19:22.340 called
01:19:22.860 Chlorella
01:19:24.500 Vulgaris.
01:19:27.560 I love
01:19:28.220 the name
01:19:28.520 of that.
01:19:29.380 Doesn't
01:19:29.840 that sound
01:19:30.200 like a
01:19:30.700 Disney
01:19:31.600 movie
01:19:32.140 villainous?
01:19:34.240 Oh,
01:19:34.660 look out.
01:19:35.500 It's
01:19:35.740 Chlorella
01:19:36.420 Vulgaris.
01:19:38.240 Part of
01:19:40.000 the
01:19:40.120 Vulgaris
01:19:40.660 family.
01:19:41.020 Anyway,
01:19:42.900 so apparently
01:19:43.420 it's got
01:19:44.300 a lot
01:19:44.720 of nutrients
01:19:45.480 and protein,
01:19:46.540 which is
01:19:46.860 the hard
01:19:47.180 part.
01:19:48.260 And it's
01:19:49.000 not so
01:19:49.380 much that
01:19:49.760 you would
01:19:50.040 eat it.
01:19:50.580 It might
01:19:50.980 be incorporated
01:19:51.820 with other
01:19:53.380 foods.
01:19:54.380 I don't
01:19:54.820 know what
01:19:55.020 that means.
01:19:55.760 But if
01:19:56.600 they can
01:19:56.860 make it
01:19:57.220 tasteless,
01:19:58.100 but it
01:19:58.760 has all
01:19:59.080 the nutrients,
01:19:59.820 then you
01:20:00.180 can maybe
01:20:00.520 mix it
01:20:01.040 in with
01:20:01.380 some kinds
01:20:02.040 of foods.
01:20:03.460 But what
01:20:04.100 I wondered
01:20:04.540 is,
01:20:05.680 since it's
01:20:06.240 a freshwater
01:20:07.040 algae,
01:20:08.660 could you
01:20:09.360 grow it
01:20:09.700 at home?
01:20:11.080 You know,
01:20:11.360 I'm always
01:20:11.660 trying to
01:20:11.960 figure out
01:20:12.380 how to
01:20:12.720 do an
01:20:13.240 indoor
01:20:14.500 farm,
01:20:15.900 especially
01:20:16.380 one that
01:20:16.800 you could
01:20:17.000 just have
01:20:17.300 in your
01:20:17.520 backyard,
01:20:18.500 that would
01:20:18.860 give you
01:20:19.240 all you
01:20:19.600 needed to
01:20:20.020 eat.
01:20:20.920 Because if
01:20:21.520 you think
01:20:21.800 about it,
01:20:22.480 we now
01:20:23.140 have a
01:20:23.860 way to
01:20:24.100 be off
01:20:24.500 the grid
01:20:24.820 for
01:20:25.020 electricity,
01:20:26.600 off the
01:20:27.320 grid for
01:20:28.060 water.
01:20:28.820 You can
01:20:29.060 even take
01:20:29.440 water out
01:20:29.860 of the air
01:20:30.180 now.
01:20:30.420 And you
01:20:33.180 could have
01:20:33.440 a septic
01:20:33.900 tank if
01:20:34.380 you want
01:20:34.580 to be
01:20:34.840 off the
01:20:35.340 grid for
01:20:35.820 waste,
01:20:36.940 sort of
01:20:37.360 off the
01:20:37.620 grid.
01:20:38.960 But you
01:20:39.460 can't get
01:20:39.820 off the
01:20:40.380 grid for
01:20:40.780 food,
01:20:41.360 can you?
01:20:42.860 Food's
01:20:43.280 pretty hard
01:20:43.640 to get
01:20:43.880 off the
01:20:44.160 grid.
01:20:45.040 So if
01:20:46.360 somebody
01:20:46.640 finds a
01:20:47.220 protein
01:20:47.780 source that
01:20:49.800 you could
01:20:50.120 grow in
01:20:50.540 a little
01:20:50.940 pool in
01:20:52.980 your backyard,
01:20:53.800 you know,
01:20:53.960 not the
01:20:54.300 size of a
01:20:54.800 swimming pool,
01:20:55.520 but something
01:20:56.040 smaller,
01:20:57.040 that would
01:20:57.400 be kind
01:20:57.680 of interesting.
01:20:59.460 Now,
01:20:59.860 I can
01:21:00.220 also
01:21:00.460 imagine
01:21:00.900 someday
01:21:01.300 in the
01:21:01.580 future
01:21:01.860 that our
01:21:03.280 food will
01:21:03.700 be like
01:21:04.020 the
01:21:04.220 replicators
01:21:04.860 on Star
01:21:05.380 Trek.
01:21:06.320 So I
01:21:07.020 can imagine
01:21:07.460 something like
01:21:08.080 this freshwater
01:21:09.140 algae being
01:21:10.880 used as the
01:21:11.720 printer ink and
01:21:14.060 mixed with
01:21:15.120 different seasonings
01:21:16.060 so that you
01:21:17.880 basically say,
01:21:18.900 give me a
01:21:19.220 hamburger.
01:21:19.920 And it
01:21:20.040 just prints
01:21:21.740 a hamburger.
01:21:22.680 And it's got
01:21:23.400 like a bun and
01:21:24.240 a pickle on it
01:21:25.060 and a piece of
01:21:26.000 lettuce and
01:21:26.500 everything.
01:21:27.640 But the
01:21:29.400 ink is
01:21:31.840 made by the
01:21:32.580 algae.
01:21:34.220 I don't
01:21:34.780 want to eat
01:21:35.080 no algae.
01:21:35.680 Stop making
01:21:36.180 me eat
01:21:36.560 bugs.
01:21:36.900 I'm not
01:21:37.200 going to
01:21:37.380 lick my 0.94
01:21:37.760 swimming pool.
01:21:38.560 I want
01:21:38.960 beef.
01:21:39.700 Why are you
01:21:40.120 stopping it?
01:21:40.600 Stop it,
01:21:41.740 you World
01:21:42.220 Economic Forum
01:21:43.120 shill.
01:21:44.360 All right.
01:21:45.380 I think we've
01:21:46.180 covered that.
01:21:48.260 And that,
01:21:49.000 ladies and 0.98
01:21:49.300 gentlemen,
01:21:49.500 is all I have
01:21:50.140 to say this
01:21:50.580 morning.
01:21:51.660 I'm going
01:21:51.940 to talk to
01:21:52.380 the locals
01:21:53.680 people privately.
01:21:56.480 EMI versus
01:21:57.340 EMF.
01:21:59.220 Is that what
01:21:59.920 I should have
01:22:00.240 said?
01:22:00.500 EMI?
01:22:02.080 I thought
01:22:02.600 EMI was a 0.98
01:22:03.560 company in
01:22:04.840 the music
01:22:05.340 field.
01:22:08.020 Boy in
01:22:08.680 green.
01:22:12.200 How do
01:22:12.800 they make
01:22:13.160 squid ink
01:22:13.880 pasta?
01:22:14.600 I have no
01:22:15.100 idea.
01:22:15.420 All right.
01:22:23.020 You could
01:22:23.440 talk about
01:22:23.920 algae all
01:22:24.460 day.
01:22:29.180 Well,
01:22:30.080 all right.
01:22:31.660 EMI is 0.62
01:22:32.380 jamming.
01:22:33.100 Okay.
01:22:33.660 So EMI,
01:22:34.840 electromagnetic
01:22:35.480 interference.
01:22:36.780 There we go.
01:22:37.680 EMI was what 0.80
01:22:38.440 I was looking
01:22:38.860 for.
01:22:40.280 What does
01:22:40.960 Lindsey
01:22:41.300 Graham say?
01:22:41.880 Lindsey
01:22:45.200 Graham will
01:22:45.840 vote to
01:22:46.320 confirm
01:22:46.700 Tulsi,
01:22:47.560 RFK,
01:22:48.280 and Cash.
01:22:49.300 Good.
01:22:50.620 Lindsey
01:22:51.000 Graham,
01:22:51.680 if he
01:22:51.900 would not
01:22:52.300 voted for
01:22:53.640 those three,
01:22:55.080 he'd have
01:22:55.880 a tough
01:22:56.200 time.
01:22:58.060 I don't
01:22:58.740 want to
01:22:58.980 sound like
01:22:59.460 Schumer,
01:23:00.820 but
01:23:01.060 whoever
01:23:03.440 doesn't
01:23:03.940 vote for
01:23:04.340 RFK
01:23:04.880 Jr.
01:23:05.320 in particular,
01:23:06.940 they're going
01:23:07.460 to have a
01:23:07.720 tough road
01:23:08.800 ahead because
01:23:09.740 there are
01:23:09.980 people who
01:23:10.340 are going
01:23:10.440 to make
01:23:10.680 sure that
01:23:11.020 happens.
01:23:12.880 It's BMI
01:23:13.480 is the
01:23:13.840 music company.
01:23:14.520 Oh,
01:23:14.640 you're right.
01:23:15.480 All right.
01:23:15.920 I'm going
01:23:16.220 to talk
01:23:16.580 privately
01:23:17.200 to the
01:23:17.660 locals
