Transcript

00:00:00.000 Come on. Technology. Technology. Come on. There we go. It's all working. Boom.
00:00:14.800 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:26.580 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better day.
00:00:30.440 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny brains,
00:00:37.900 all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chels, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:45.120 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:48.220 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine dinner of the day.
00:00:56.580 Shut up.
00:00:59.040 The thing that makes everything better.
00:01:01.660 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go.
00:01:05.520 All right. I have to come clean.
00:01:16.520 My local subscribers already know this, but my coffee maker is broken, and my other coffee maker is broken.
00:01:27.260 So my main coffee maker and my backup coffee maker, neither of them are working.
00:01:33.780 So this was not actual coffee.
00:01:39.480 And it just ruins the whole experience, let me tell you.
00:01:44.220 Anyway, but enough about that.
00:01:46.680 Happy St. Patrick's Day.
00:01:47.880 I'm a little bit Irish.
00:01:51.160 A little bit.
00:01:52.500 I'm more Irish today because it's St. Patrick's Day, but a little bit Irish.
00:01:58.220 Speaking of other countries, there's a French lawmaker who is calling for the return of the Statue of Liberty.
00:02:08.100 Because I guess he doesn't like Trump.
00:02:10.520 So that's normal.
00:02:13.360 And I don't think we should return the Statue of Liberty.
00:02:16.160 What do you think?
00:02:17.960 I don't think we should.
00:02:19.460 But I've got an idea of just rotating it 180 degrees and removing the torch and replacing it with the finger.
00:02:31.260 So that the statue is just giving the finger to France.
00:02:35.140 Okay, that would be funny.
00:02:36.340 But I do think the Democrats probably would agree with getting rid of the Statue of Liberty.
00:02:45.300 Because have you noticed that the Statue of Liberty has been giving a Nazi salute?
00:02:53.600 Yeah.
00:02:54.560 They sort of trick you by putting the torch in the hand.
00:02:57.820 But that just makes it worse.
00:02:59.220 It's like it's a Nazi salute and you want to burn everything down with your torch.
00:03:05.480 I think that should be deeply condemned and we should remove the Statue of Liberty and give it back to France.
00:03:13.080 You know, after we change the torch to a finger.
00:03:18.020 Well, believe it or not, according to Psy Post, there's a study about twins that suggests that it turns out you won't believe this.
00:03:29.640 This will be hard to believe.
00:03:31.800 But rational thinking is genetically linked to intelligence.
00:03:35.980 And it challenges the idea that decision making is a separate skill.
00:03:41.400 So in other words, they found out that you can't teach stupid people how to be smart by teaching them how to think.
00:03:48.420 Now, I could have saved them a little bit of time because I once tried to teach my dog to read and she just refused.
00:04:00.540 She never learned to read.
00:04:02.700 But no, it is not true that you can teach.
00:04:06.440 You cannot teach dumb people to be smart by teaching them how to think better.
00:04:11.200 You know, Bob, I've been noticing that you're a freaking moron.
00:04:16.920 But I think I can fix that with a few tweaks.
00:04:21.380 Did you know that if you were to look at, let's say, the information pro and con, you would get a better result?
00:04:29.800 Really?
00:04:30.860 I could?
00:04:32.240 I should look at the information on both sides of an issue?
00:04:36.040 Yes, you should, Bob.
00:04:37.400 Why don't you try that next time?
00:04:39.060 All right, I will.
00:04:41.300 And then what does Bob do?
00:04:42.620 Does Bob look at the information on both sides of the issue next time because you taught Bob how to be a better decision maker?
00:04:51.600 Nope.
00:04:52.720 Bob will forget that advice before you turn around and walk out the door.
00:04:58.180 Because Bob is not smart.
00:05:03.900 It's been my observation that all smart people tend to think alike rationally.
00:05:11.360 It's definitely genetic.
00:05:14.720 Now, I will say, though, I will say that if you're starting with a smart person, you can definitely teach them some extra tools,
00:05:24.620 such as how to spot fake news.
00:05:28.480 That's useful, right?
00:05:30.000 I've been teaching most of you how to do that, and most of you do now.
00:05:33.540 So you'll often say to me, oh, that one's too on the nose.
00:05:36.860 That's one of the things I teach you.
00:05:38.680 Oh, there's just one source, and it's anonymous.
00:05:41.540 That's one of the things I teach you, et cetera.
00:05:44.420 So you can teach smart people how to be even smarter.
00:05:50.780 But if you're trying to teach a dumb person how to think like a smart person, good luck with that.
00:05:58.260 Could have just asked me.
00:05:59.700 Save a little time.
00:06:02.380 Here's a story that makes my heart sing.
00:06:05.600 The Trump administration is targeting 45 universities over their anti-white discrimination.
00:06:15.200 Hannah Nightingale of the Post Millennial is writing about this.
00:06:19.960 So instead of making decisions or having any kind of policies that are race-related,
00:06:28.880 they're being challenged to get rid of that stuff.
00:06:31.720 And the universities are going to be in a little trouble
00:06:36.840 because one of the things that the Trump administration seems to be willing to use as a tool
00:06:41.820 is removing federal funding for research and grants,
00:06:48.300 which apparently, I didn't know this until recently,
00:06:51.740 is such a major funding for a lot of the big schools
00:06:56.140 that if they lost the federal research and grant money,
00:07:00.620 they'd be in real financial trouble.
00:07:03.960 I mean, it's a major source, I guess.
00:07:08.080 Anyway, so this is especially satisfying to me
00:07:11.920 that essentially the DEI stuff has become illegal.
00:07:16.860 And when I say become illegal, it was always illegal.
00:07:20.380 It's just we didn't treat it that way until Trump.
00:07:23.140 So you might remember that this is about, right now,
00:07:29.520 it's about two years since I got canceled.
00:07:33.360 Does anybody remember me getting canceled?
00:07:36.240 Of course you do.
00:07:38.340 Now, the interesting thing about my cancellation
00:07:40.840 is I realized the other day that, you know, my lasting legacy,
00:07:46.580 you know, the way I'll be remembered by search engines and AI
00:07:49.820 will be two things that didn't happen.
00:07:53.340 So my primary legacy will be based on things that didn't happen,
00:07:58.900 that aren't true.
00:08:00.300 Number one, that I gave a racist rant,
00:08:03.900 and that's why I got canceled.
00:08:05.760 That didn't happen.
00:08:07.500 I was ranting against racism.
00:08:10.760 Very specifically, I was against people who were racist.
00:08:16.060 And I said, wow, why would I want to live with a bunch of racists?
00:08:19.160 I would want to live where they're not,
00:08:21.140 which is literally what every single person in the world would agree with.
00:08:25.600 Why would you want to live where you know there's a bunch of racists?
00:08:29.640 Now, of course, I've never been in favor of racism against an individual.
00:08:34.640 You know, not in hiring, not in dating, not in friendship,
00:08:38.100 not in picking teams, nothing.
00:08:41.320 So, of course, I've always been, you know, against racism.
00:08:46.140 So I've been against racism against individuals.
00:08:49.400 But also, if there's a group that seems to be extra racist,
00:08:53.820 according to data, and there was data,
00:08:56.460 then I said, maybe you should not spend time with people
00:09:00.560 who are a little more racist against you
00:09:03.580 than you're comfortable with.
00:09:06.140 Every single person in the world agrees with that.
00:09:09.460 But I got canceled.
00:09:11.080 So how much pleasure do you think I get
00:09:13.900 watching the thing I got canceled for
00:09:17.640 become illegal?
00:09:20.740 A lot.
00:09:22.140 It's satisfying on a level that you can barely understand.
00:09:25.240 But I'll always be remembered as the guy who made the racist rant
00:09:30.240 because the news is fake, history is fake,
00:09:33.500 the history books are fake,
00:09:34.960 and mostly what the AI will tell you in the future
00:09:37.960 will be fake, unfortunately.
00:09:40.980 The other thing I'll be remembered for
00:09:42.920 is the thing that definitely didn't happen,
00:09:45.380 which is all of my opinions about the pandemic being reversed.
00:09:51.720 So one of the things I'm most proud of
00:09:53.900 is that I had the best opinions in the pandemic
00:09:57.760 of any public figure.
00:09:59.960 By far, it wasn't even close.
00:10:02.180 Most people believe that my opinions
00:10:04.580 were the opposite of what they were.
00:10:07.120 So people believe I was promoting vaccines.
00:10:10.380 No, that never happened.
00:10:11.580 Not once.
00:10:12.180 And so I'll be remembered for two things
00:10:16.020 that definitely didn't happen in any real world.
00:10:20.900 But that's, you know, that's the fate of public figures.
00:10:25.060 You get remembered for the opposite of whatever you were doing.
00:10:30.540 Anyway, the big story of the day
00:10:32.280 is that Trump is trying to cancel the pardons
00:10:36.480 that Biden made.
00:10:39.840 They were made with the auto pen.
00:10:41.580 Now, the auto pen is what presidents use
00:10:43.560 to sign things when they're not physically available.
00:10:48.260 But, you know, things that they've agreed to.
00:10:50.860 So it's not, there's nothing sketchy about it
00:10:53.340 the way it's been used in the past.
00:10:55.040 However, given what we know about Biden's administration
00:11:00.480 and given what we know about his mental acuity at the time
00:11:05.620 and given that there were some last-minute pardons,
00:11:09.720 it's not clear that Biden even knew they happened.
00:11:14.040 So does Trump have a good case?
00:11:17.560 Well, the smart thing that Trump is doing
00:11:20.780 and has consistently done is he says,
00:11:23.740 well, if the courts disagree,
00:11:25.780 then we'll follow the court.
00:11:28.620 And that's very disarming.
00:11:30.280 And it's very non-dictator.
00:11:32.040 And that's what he's doing here.
00:11:33.520 So he's taking a run at it.
00:11:36.340 That doesn't mean he'll succeed.
00:11:38.580 So the Supreme Court could say,
00:11:41.380 no, auto pen counts.
00:11:43.840 You know, there's nothing you can do about it.
00:11:45.760 Otherwise, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:49.020 So I've got a feeling he has no better than,
00:11:51.760 I don't know,
00:11:54.300 since I don't know much about the court
00:11:56.980 or how it would rule,
00:11:58.180 I'm going to say 50% chance that it will stick.
00:12:02.220 But boy, is this got to be scary to the,
00:12:05.500 what he calls the unselected group,
00:12:08.320 the people who ran the,
00:12:10.700 what I would consider the fake impeachment things,
00:12:15.440 or the fake January 6th stuff.
00:12:18.960 And they do have some explaining to do.
00:12:22.440 And there's a good reason that they wanted their pardons.
00:12:27.460 So this one's getting really dicey.
00:12:31.320 Getting really dicey.
00:12:32.660 Because if Trump succeeds in undoing the pardons
00:12:38.540 because of the auto pen,
00:12:42.480 Adam Schiff's probably going to jail.
00:12:48.620 Liz Cheney,
00:12:50.380 probably going to jail.
00:12:52.440 Because I do believe that the legal system
00:12:57.080 would find that they did
00:12:58.240 some pretty illegal things.
00:13:01.860 So at the very least,
00:13:04.020 they would be destroyed by the legal process,
00:13:06.520 which would be,
00:13:07.660 you know,
00:13:07.920 gigantically burdensome.
00:13:11.200 And my feeling about a lot of this stuff is that,
00:13:15.440 and Lindsey Graham did the best explanation
00:13:17.740 on a new show,
00:13:19.580 that once you look at the context
00:13:22.380 of what these same people did to Trump,
00:13:25.480 they tried to destroy him politically.
00:13:27.900 They tried to destroy his entire business.
00:13:31.100 They tried to destroy his family.
00:13:33.940 And they tried to put him in jail
00:13:36.080 for the rest of his life.
00:13:38.900 They did much the same to people
00:13:41.380 who supported him.
00:13:43.460 They went after the lawyers who supported him.
00:13:45.980 They went after his supporters
00:13:47.420 in every way that they could.
00:13:49.860 And in normal times,
00:13:53.020 I would say,
00:13:54.180 you know,
00:13:55.020 maybe let the past go.
00:13:58.060 You know,
00:13:58.320 yeah,
00:13:58.780 there was some dirty tricks there,
00:14:00.340 but,
00:14:01.200 you know,
00:14:01.460 let's not dwell on that.
00:14:03.260 Let's move forward.
00:14:04.260 Let's look forward.
00:14:05.540 But if you look at the totality
00:14:07.660 of the pure evil
00:14:09.860 that was aimed at him,
00:14:13.300 I'm 100% in favor of his revenge.
00:14:17.900 Because it feels personal.
00:14:21.020 You know,
00:14:21.600 I feel like I got dragged down
00:14:23.360 by the same bad guys.
00:14:26.780 You know,
00:14:27.260 lesser.
00:14:28.460 But do you think
00:14:29.520 I ever would have been canceled
00:14:30.820 if it hadn't been
00:14:32.420 for the Trump connection?
00:14:34.280 Nope.
00:14:35.360 Nope.
00:14:35.860 I don't think I would have been.
00:14:36.880 And so,
00:14:39.320 these are all of my enemies too.
00:14:43.960 And I wouldn't mind
00:14:45.560 seeing them taken down completely,
00:14:47.900 just destroyed.
00:14:50.380 Because I do think they earned it,
00:14:52.720 and I do think it would look like justice to me.
00:14:55.820 Like real justice.
00:14:57.400 Not the revenge-y,
00:14:59.660 you know,
00:15:00.320 I'm happy my team won kind of justice.
00:15:02.380 I don't want that kind.
00:15:03.880 I'm not looking for the
00:15:05.140 my team won,
00:15:05.980 your team lost kind of justice.
00:15:08.060 Nope.
00:15:08.940 I want the actual real kind.
00:15:11.580 Where if you're a motherfucker
00:15:13.420 for years and years and years,
00:15:15.900 and you're the most evil,
00:15:17.280 lying,
00:15:17.780 piece of shits in the world,
00:15:19.300 it's time for you to get flushed.
00:15:22.720 And I'm here for it.
00:15:25.200 So,
00:15:25.760 if Trump can get away with this,
00:15:27.260 that would be very good.
00:15:31.100 I would love it.
00:15:32.220 I don't think he will.
00:15:33.760 I've got a feeling
00:15:34.400 the Supreme Court is going to say,
00:15:36.020 uh,
00:15:37.060 we don't need this.
00:15:39.080 It's a little too much trouble.
00:15:42.740 So,
00:15:43.300 maybe regardless of,
00:15:45.040 you know,
00:15:45.340 the legality of it,
00:15:47.180 I still think the Supreme Court
00:15:48.900 might say,
00:15:49.900 you know,
00:15:50.800 we're going to find a reason
00:15:51.820 not to do this,
00:15:52.780 because it would just be
00:15:54.280 too destructive
00:15:54.980 to the Republic.
00:15:56.920 And they might be right.
00:15:58.520 But I'm still for it.
00:16:01.420 As you know,
00:16:02.800 lots of,
00:16:03.440 uh,
00:16:04.240 conservatives have been
00:16:05.360 swatted lately,
00:16:06.700 conservative pundits.
00:16:08.220 Um,
00:16:08.580 so data Republican,
00:16:09.960 you all know who she is,
00:16:11.700 right?
00:16:12.020 Data Republican is a great
00:16:13.860 data,
00:16:14.460 um,
00:16:15.760 analyst,
00:16:16.480 which feels like
00:16:18.080 too little,
00:16:19.800 because she's so good
00:16:20.940 that it feels like
00:16:22.300 she needs her own label.
00:16:24.100 But anyway,
00:16:24.520 she did an analysis of,
00:16:26.040 uh,
00:16:26.180 I think there are now
00:16:26.840 13 or 14 people
00:16:29.060 who have been swatted
00:16:29.820 recently,
00:16:30.340 but she had a list
00:16:32.160 of 10 or so
00:16:33.020 intended analysis
00:16:33.980 using AI
00:16:34.980 to try to find out
00:16:36.340 what they had in common,
00:16:37.300 uh,
00:16:39.120 and also,
00:16:39.740 which would maybe
00:16:40.640 help you figure out,
00:16:41.760 you know,
00:16:42.320 who was after them,
00:16:43.200 uh,
00:16:44.060 but also to maybe
00:16:45.000 predict who would be next.
00:16:47.980 Here are some of the things
00:16:49.120 that,
00:16:49.380 um,
00:16:49.740 that she found in common.
00:16:51.120 So a lot of the people
00:16:52.840 who got swatted,
00:16:54.120 um,
00:16:55.780 engaged with Elon Musk
00:16:57.560 on X,
00:16:58.380 uh,
00:16:59.780 their real life identities
00:17:01.200 were known,
00:17:01.940 so they weren't pseudonyms
00:17:03.520 or anything,
00:17:03.920 they used their real names,
00:17:05.260 or at least
00:17:06.180 their real names
00:17:07.040 were easy to find,
00:17:07.880 like Cat Turd.
00:17:09.740 Um,
00:17:10.220 they had
00:17:10.740 a good number
00:17:11.760 of followers,
00:17:12.640 usually over 50,000,
00:17:14.640 but actually most of the time
00:17:15.960 over 150,000.
00:17:17.260 Uh,
00:17:18.500 they were often guests
00:17:19.460 who were employees
00:17:20.200 for InfoWars,
00:17:21.820 uh,
00:17:22.500 War Room,
00:17:23.720 or similar
00:17:25.820 alt-media
00:17:27.180 kind of shows
00:17:28.000 on the right.
00:17:29.140 Uh,
00:17:29.700 then there's this one,
00:17:30.900 expressed pro-Israel
00:17:32.460 or at least
00:17:33.380 anti-Hamas sentiments.
00:17:36.400 Okay.
00:17:37.620 Um,
00:17:38.880 frequently amplified
00:17:40.240 other swatting victims
00:17:41.780 in the past,
00:17:42.840 so
00:17:43.560 it seems like
00:17:45.180 a network of people
00:17:46.080 who boosted each other.
00:17:48.240 And
00:17:48.960 many of them
00:17:49.780 were amplified
00:17:50.440 by based Mike Lee.
00:17:53.380 And the targets
00:17:54.620 were all male.
00:17:56.440 The targets
00:17:57.440 were all male.
00:17:59.020 That's interesting.
00:18:00.940 Um,
00:18:01.680 so
00:18:02.520 Data,
00:18:03.300 Data Republican
00:18:04.420 said,
00:18:04.940 uh,
00:18:05.520 that
00:18:05.880 her current
00:18:07.180 leading theory
00:18:07.960 is that it's
00:18:09.220 a terrorist
00:18:09.840 campaign targeting
00:18:10.920 ex and influencers
00:18:12.600 connected to
00:18:13.600 Elon Musk.
00:18:15.700 Hmm.
00:18:16.380 So,
00:18:18.080 and then somebody
00:18:20.880 said,
00:18:21.400 but what about
00:18:21.880 the fact that
00:18:22.600 they might be
00:18:23.200 anti-Ukraine?
00:18:25.160 And Data Republican,
00:18:26.460 this is why
00:18:26.920 she's so good,
00:18:28.080 she says that
00:18:28.940 the anti-Ukraine
00:18:29.820 doesn't add
00:18:30.520 much signal,
00:18:32.600 meaning that
00:18:33.500 since
00:18:34.200 most of the
00:18:35.600 conservative world
00:18:36.740 is anti-Ukraine
00:18:38.080 at the moment,
00:18:39.560 you can't really say
00:18:40.620 these ones
00:18:41.600 got swatted
00:18:42.560 because they're
00:18:43.100 anti-Ukraine,
00:18:43.920 because sort
00:18:45.220 of everybody
00:18:45.660 was.
00:18:47.260 Um,
00:18:47.780 so I don't
00:18:49.180 know.
00:18:50.060 So I guess
00:18:50.860 the theory
00:18:51.380 that it's,
00:18:52.080 it's,
00:18:52.660 uh,
00:18:52.920 anti-Elon
00:18:54.000 Musk,
00:18:55.140 I,
00:18:56.660 I would say
00:18:57.120 that's a
00:18:57.540 possibility.
00:18:59.000 Could be,
00:19:00.160 could be just
00:19:01.660 anti-Trump.
00:19:04.260 Um,
00:19:05.060 I don't know.
00:19:05.780 but it could
00:19:07.680 be stochastic
00:19:08.780 terrorism,
00:19:09.560 which is just
00:19:10.260 making it easier
00:19:11.140 to attack a
00:19:12.040 certain group
00:19:12.520 of people
00:19:12.960 who speak out.
00:19:15.100 But,
00:19:15.660 uh,
00:19:15.980 we'll see.
00:19:16.980 We'll see.
00:19:18.940 Uh,
00:19:19.420 um,
00:19:19.820 that's a good
00:19:20.380 analysis.
00:19:21.000 I don't think
00:19:21.380 it gives us
00:19:21.840 an answer,
00:19:23.300 but it,
00:19:24.500 you know,
00:19:24.880 maybe,
00:19:25.700 maybe it defines
00:19:27.080 things a little
00:19:27.840 bit better so
00:19:28.600 we know what
00:19:29.100 to look for.
00:19:30.780 And maybe
00:19:31.560 it will have
00:19:32.260 an effect,
00:19:33.020 could have,
00:19:33.680 you know,
00:19:34.120 if,
00:19:34.400 if the analysis
00:19:35.180 got anywhere
00:19:37.260 near the truth,
00:19:38.880 it might slow
00:19:40.860 it down.
00:19:41.460 Because now
00:19:42.120 we would be
00:19:42.520 looking for
00:19:43.100 these signals.
00:19:43.980 We'd say,
00:19:44.480 okay,
00:19:45.400 uh,
00:19:45.860 did you say
00:19:46.640 anything about,
00:19:47.860 did you interact
00:19:48.840 with Elon Musk,
00:19:49.880 et cetera.
00:19:50.540 Now,
00:19:51.020 even the
00:19:51.560 interacting with
00:19:52.320 Elon Musk thing,
00:19:53.800 uh,
00:19:55.040 to me,
00:19:56.220 that's not
00:19:56.960 much of a
00:19:57.460 signal,
00:19:57.820 because
00:19:59.260 Musk does
00:20:01.000 interact with
00:20:01.740 a whole bunch
00:20:02.320 of people.
00:20:03.760 Um,
00:20:04.280 and most
00:20:05.160 multiple times
00:20:05.800 sometimes,
00:20:06.200 so he's
00:20:06.680 interacted
00:20:07.100 with me
00:20:07.440 a number
00:20:07.720 of times.
00:20:09.140 And,
00:20:09.700 uh,
00:20:10.620 so,
00:20:11.180 I don't know,
00:20:11.640 he's interacted
00:20:12.260 with so many
00:20:12.840 people.
00:20:13.420 I'm not sure
00:20:13.980 that that's
00:20:14.440 the signal
00:20:14.880 it looks like.
00:20:16.120 Anyway.

00:21:17.800 President Trump
00:21:18.680 says he's going to
00:21:19.440 talk to Putin
00:21:20.980 tomorrow,
00:21:22.300 and doesn't it
00:21:25.360 seem to you like
00:21:26.300 that's way too
00:21:28.000 long to wait?
00:21:29.900 I mean, just
00:21:30.300 think about the
00:21:30.900 fact that there
00:21:31.680 are people in
00:21:32.260 ditches shooting
00:21:33.320 at each other
00:21:33.900 and dying,
00:21:35.200 you know, around
00:21:35.640 Kursk and all
00:21:37.380 around the front
00:21:38.040 lines, because I
00:21:38.760 assume the
00:21:39.200 fighting is just
00:21:40.540 going crazy even
00:21:41.420 though they're
00:21:42.200 talking peace.
00:21:43.500 So it's just so
00:21:45.620 weird that you'd
00:21:46.600 say, hey, can I
00:21:48.180 call you tomorrow?
00:21:50.600 Is there really no
00:21:51.920 reason they can
00:21:52.600 talk today?
00:21:53.920 Are they not
00:21:54.780 prepared?
00:21:56.460 Did they have
00:21:57.120 something more
00:21:57.740 important?
00:21:58.180 There are
00:21:59.160 people literally
00:22:00.000 just getting
00:22:00.580 torn to pieces
00:22:01.800 on the front
00:22:03.960 lines for no
00:22:04.780 reason, because
00:22:06.320 it looks like
00:22:07.240 things are going
00:22:07.780 to wind up.
00:22:09.080 So anybody
00:22:09.700 who gets killed
00:22:10.500 or wounded
00:22:11.020 today, that's
00:22:14.000 a complete waste
00:22:15.000 of humanity.
00:22:16.940 So I just
00:22:17.760 don't know how
00:22:18.280 you say, hey,
00:22:20.020 you're available
00:22:20.540 tomorrow?
00:22:21.260 Is tomorrow
00:22:21.900 good?
00:22:23.420 Today is good.
00:22:25.080 Like right now
00:22:25.760 is good.
00:22:26.240 That's how I
00:22:28.700 feel.
00:22:29.540 Now, if we
00:22:30.560 got something
00:22:30.980 done tomorrow
00:22:31.740 that was
00:22:32.740 important, I'd
00:22:33.920 be pretty happy
00:22:34.560 about it.
00:22:35.720 But this whole
00:22:36.700 thing about, you
00:22:38.300 know, if you're
00:22:38.760 serious about
00:22:39.680 ending the
00:22:40.880 killing, tomorrow
00:22:42.660 is really too
00:22:43.340 long.
00:22:44.540 But on the other
00:22:45.460 hand, you don't
00:22:46.020 want to act too
00:22:46.700 eager, because that
00:22:48.180 might hurt your
00:22:48.740 negotiating position.
00:22:50.500 But really?
00:22:52.320 How about today?
00:22:54.080 That's my take.
00:22:54.900 Anyway, according
00:23:00.040 to the New York
00:23:00.540 Post, Trump
00:23:01.240 said, we want
00:23:03.080 to see if we
00:23:03.580 can bring that
00:23:04.240 war to an
00:23:04.740 end.
00:23:06.540 He says, maybe
00:23:07.860 we can, maybe
00:23:08.560 we can't.
00:23:09.080 I think we have
00:23:09.680 a very good
00:23:10.580 chance.
00:23:11.160 Now, I think
00:23:11.500 he's talking
00:23:11.920 about his
00:23:12.980 conversation
00:23:13.580 tomorrow, that
00:23:15.120 maybe they're
00:23:15.880 far enough
00:23:16.720 along that he
00:23:17.620 might be able
00:23:18.060 to close the
00:23:18.640 deal.
00:23:19.200 That seems
00:23:19.840 like a stretch.
00:23:20.800 and he
00:23:22.520 said, a lot
00:23:23.900 of work's
00:23:24.340 been done
00:23:24.720 over the
00:23:25.080 weekend.
00:23:26.140 Now, a lot
00:23:26.780 of work's
00:23:27.120 been done
00:23:27.660 means that
00:23:28.860 they're close
00:23:29.600 to a deal.
00:23:31.620 And I don't
00:23:32.600 think he'd
00:23:33.080 make the
00:23:33.540 call, you
00:23:34.480 know, even
00:23:34.820 though, you
00:23:36.100 know, there's
00:23:36.460 urgency.
00:23:37.140 I don't think
00:23:37.900 he'd make the
00:23:38.420 call tomorrow
00:23:39.320 unless he felt
00:23:40.940 like there was
00:23:41.460 some chance
00:23:42.320 that whatever
00:23:43.840 remaining issues
00:23:44.920 there are, he
00:23:45.400 could close
00:23:45.920 on.
00:23:46.180 Now, remember
00:23:49.520 how I always
00:23:50.120 tell you that
00:23:50.700 you should
00:23:51.260 expect at
00:23:51.860 least one
00:23:52.300 walk away in
00:23:54.280 a big
00:23:54.900 negotiation?
00:23:56.200 There's usually
00:23:56.940 this point where
00:23:57.700 one side says,
00:23:58.560 all right, nope,
00:23:59.320 nope, we're
00:23:59.940 done, and they
00:24:01.360 walk away, and
00:24:02.300 they pretend, or
00:24:04.080 sometimes it's
00:24:04.740 real, that,
00:24:06.160 nope, I'm done
00:24:07.200 dealing with you,
00:24:08.000 I cannot make a
00:24:08.740 deal.
00:24:09.160 Now, what that
00:24:10.540 can do is
00:24:12.780 cause the one
00:24:13.480 who got walked
00:24:14.160 away on to
00:24:15.000 say, all right,
00:24:15.620 all right,
00:24:15.980 I'll offer
00:24:16.700 you a little
00:24:17.040 bit more, but
00:24:19.660 I'm not sure
00:24:20.460 there'll be a
00:24:20.960 walk away on
00:24:21.660 this one, and
00:24:23.700 the reason is
00:24:24.440 they're both
00:24:24.900 too smart.
00:24:27.560 If Trump
00:24:29.060 did a walk
00:24:29.640 away, Putin
00:24:30.680 would say,
00:24:31.260 that's not
00:24:31.740 real, he'll
00:24:32.340 come back.
00:24:33.560 If Putin
00:24:34.100 did a walk
00:24:34.600 away, Trump
00:24:35.160 would say,
00:24:35.520 that's not
00:24:35.940 real, he'll
00:24:36.900 come back.
00:24:38.080 So, I
00:24:38.980 think they
00:24:39.360 both know
00:24:39.980 each other
00:24:40.600 well enough
00:24:41.240 that a walk
00:24:42.460 away would
00:24:42.940 just look
00:24:43.460 sort of
00:24:45.080 stupid.
00:24:45.980 because you're
00:24:47.480 dealing with
00:24:47.920 two people
00:24:48.400 who are way
00:24:48.960 above the
00:24:49.620 line, they
00:24:52.120 both understand
00:24:52.900 how everything
00:24:53.540 works, right?
00:24:55.020 There's no
00:24:55.420 dumb one and
00:24:56.000 no smart
00:24:56.500 one.
00:24:56.900 They're just
00:24:57.320 two brilliant
00:24:58.100 people who
00:24:58.660 know how to
00:24:59.100 do this.
00:24:59.960 Exactly.
00:25:00.780 If you know
00:25:01.520 how to do
00:25:02.020 this, which
00:25:03.520 is negotiate
00:25:04.160 the hard
00:25:05.060 stuff, and
00:25:06.040 they do,
00:25:07.260 then the
00:25:07.860 walk away
00:25:08.400 is a little
00:25:09.440 bit unnecessary.
00:25:10.120 necessary.
00:25:12.380 The walk
00:25:13.140 away is
00:25:13.600 sort of
00:25:14.720 what you
00:25:15.040 do if
00:25:15.500 you're
00:25:15.660 dealing
00:25:15.880 with
00:25:16.120 somebody
00:25:16.440 who
00:25:16.580 is
00:25:16.680 just
00:25:16.860 not
00:25:17.120 good
00:25:17.380 at
00:25:17.580 it,
00:25:17.840 or
00:25:19.860 somebody
00:25:20.540 who
00:25:20.700 is
00:25:20.820 at
00:25:20.980 least
00:25:21.160 not
00:25:21.460 world
00:25:21.760 class
00:25:22.220 at
00:25:22.460 it.
00:25:23.620 So, I'm
00:25:24.200 going to
00:25:24.400 predict this
00:25:25.900 would be one
00:25:26.400 of those rare
00:25:27.060 negotiations
00:25:27.860 with no
00:25:29.400 walk away,
00:25:32.100 which is a
00:25:32.800 bold, that's a
00:25:33.540 pretty big
00:25:33.900 prediction,
00:25:34.760 because you
00:25:35.360 just normally
00:25:36.340 see a walk
00:25:36.980 away.
00:25:37.160 I just
00:25:37.860 don't think
00:25:38.180 there will
00:25:38.460 be in
00:25:38.720 this case,
00:25:39.540 because the
00:25:40.020 quality of
00:25:40.740 the two
00:25:41.000 people
00:25:41.200 are negotiating.
00:25:43.800 Well, Putin
00:25:44.740 said he
00:25:45.820 wants an
00:25:46.280 ironclad
00:25:47.040 guarantee
00:25:47.540 that Ukraine
00:25:48.240 will not
00:25:48.740 join NATO.
00:25:50.540 Now, do
00:25:52.140 you remember
00:25:52.440 when the
00:25:53.040 head of
00:25:53.880 NATO said,
00:25:55.080 nope, there's
00:25:55.580 no chance
00:25:56.080 that Ukraine
00:25:56.680 is going
00:25:58.560 to be part
00:25:59.080 of NATO?
00:26:00.000 And then
00:26:00.560 you realized,
00:26:01.380 okay, that
00:26:01.780 was after
00:26:02.180 talking to
00:26:02.800 Trump.
00:26:03.800 So, probably
00:26:05.160 Trump is the
00:26:06.600 one who
00:26:06.860 told NATO
00:26:07.380 to say
00:26:07.780 there's no
00:26:08.200 way Ukraine
00:26:09.200 is going
00:26:09.480 to be part
00:26:09.860 of it.
00:26:10.560 And then
00:26:10.940 you said
00:26:11.320 to yourself,
00:26:12.280 but wait,
00:26:13.860 Trump's giving
00:26:14.600 away something
00:26:15.200 for nothing.
00:26:16.340 Like, we
00:26:16.900 don't have a
00:26:17.420 deal yet.
00:26:18.820 Like, why
00:26:19.400 would he give
00:26:19.980 that away?
00:26:21.160 You know,
00:26:21.360 wouldn't that
00:26:21.740 be the thing
00:26:22.260 that you
00:26:22.500 would keep
00:26:22.880 as your
00:26:23.240 negotiating
00:26:23.800 card?
00:26:25.540 And then
00:26:26.120 you say
00:26:26.500 to yourself,
00:26:27.440 is that
00:26:29.200 really giving
00:26:29.740 anything away?
00:26:32.100 How could
00:26:32.780 you ever give
00:26:33.460 an ironclad
00:26:34.500 guarantee
00:26:35.020 that nobody
00:26:36.480 will ever
00:26:36.920 change their
00:26:37.480 mind about
00:26:38.020 Ukraine joining
00:26:38.820 NATO?
00:26:40.060 You can't.
00:26:41.520 All it
00:26:42.100 would take
00:26:42.540 is somebody
00:26:43.060 to say,
00:26:43.520 oh, I
00:26:43.720 changed my
00:26:44.200 mind.
00:26:45.480 That's it.
00:26:46.980 So, if
00:26:48.980 Trump and
00:26:49.660 NATO say,
00:26:50.440 yep, we
00:26:50.880 guarantee it,
00:26:52.180 there's no way
00:26:52.980 Ukraine will
00:26:53.620 ever be part
00:26:54.240 of NATO,
00:26:55.260 what exactly
00:26:56.080 are they giving
00:26:56.640 up?
00:26:57.960 Nothing.
00:26:59.920 That's literally
00:27:00.740 nothing.
00:27:01.160 because Putin
00:27:03.140 knows they
00:27:04.040 can just
00:27:04.380 change their
00:27:04.880 mind.
00:27:05.700 And they
00:27:06.300 know they
00:27:07.340 can just
00:27:07.680 change their
00:27:08.160 mind.
00:27:09.060 Now, they
00:27:09.420 wouldn't do
00:27:09.800 it unless,
00:27:11.180 probably unless
00:27:12.360 situation changed.
00:27:14.240 But if the
00:27:14.980 situation changed,
00:27:16.460 you don't think
00:27:17.120 they could NATO
00:27:17.860 up in about
00:27:18.480 five minutes?
00:27:19.900 Yeah, if they
00:27:20.620 wanted to, and
00:27:21.460 they had some
00:27:21.940 strategic reason
00:27:22.880 to do it,
00:27:23.500 yes.
00:27:24.380 Now, I don't
00:27:24.880 think they want
00:27:25.460 to, and I
00:27:26.580 don't think they'll
00:27:27.100 have that strategic
00:27:27.920 reason, but
00:27:29.240 it's a weird
00:27:29.880 one, because
00:27:30.840 the thing that
00:27:31.560 Putin wants
00:27:32.340 the most is
00:27:34.420 the cheapest
00:27:34.980 to give to
00:27:35.640 him.
00:27:36.980 It literally
00:27:37.600 doesn't cost
00:27:38.240 anything.
00:27:39.740 And it
00:27:41.300 doesn't even
00:27:41.780 bind us,
00:27:42.800 because if
00:27:44.140 it became
00:27:45.520 an important
00:27:47.300 security
00:27:48.040 consideration,
00:27:49.920 yeah,
00:27:50.660 Ukraine would
00:27:51.840 get NATO'd
00:27:52.540 up in five
00:27:53.080 minutes.
00:27:54.620 So, how
00:27:55.860 in the world
00:27:56.500 could you
00:27:57.520 guarantee
00:27:57.940 such a
00:27:58.440 thing?
00:27:59.720 Now, on
00:28:00.640 the other
00:28:00.920 side, Putin
00:28:02.280 has the
00:28:02.740 same situation.
00:28:04.260 We'd like
00:28:04.860 him to
00:28:06.160 guarantee
00:28:06.720 that if
00:28:08.300 we make
00:28:08.720 a deal,
00:28:09.420 he won't
00:28:09.860 make a
00:28:10.240 move on
00:28:10.660 the rest
00:28:11.080 of Ukraine
00:28:11.780 at some
00:28:12.220 later date.
00:28:14.060 How in
00:28:14.700 the world
00:28:15.200 could that
00:28:16.320 ever be
00:28:16.800 guaranteed?
00:28:18.140 It can't.
00:28:20.240 So, the
00:28:20.880 two things
00:28:21.500 that the
00:28:21.940 sides want,
00:28:22.660 the most
00:28:22.960 important two
00:28:23.580 things, you
00:28:24.660 know, one
00:28:24.980 wants NATO,
00:28:25.900 and the other
00:28:26.380 wants a
00:28:26.740 guarantee that
00:28:27.400 there would
00:28:27.640 be no
00:28:27.980 future
00:28:28.340 attacks,
00:28:29.140 that's
00:28:29.940 something that
00:28:30.580 both sides
00:28:31.480 can say,
00:28:32.160 okay, because
00:28:34.280 it's not giving
00:28:34.940 away anything.
00:28:36.100 There's no
00:28:36.860 asset there.
00:28:37.920 It's nothing.
00:28:39.240 You're not
00:28:39.700 giving away
00:28:40.280 anything, because
00:28:42.100 both sides
00:28:43.280 could just
00:28:43.900 change their
00:28:45.320 mind tomorrow.
00:28:46.480 And it's not
00:28:47.200 like we can
00:28:47.780 ask for
00:28:48.400 collateral,
00:28:50.180 right?
00:28:50.740 We can't
00:28:51.400 say, I'll
00:28:51.780 tell you
00:28:52.040 what.
00:28:53.740 We'll hold
00:28:54.520 Moscow as
00:28:55.600 collateral, and
00:28:57.100 in case you
00:28:57.880 attack, we
00:28:59.000 get to keep
00:28:59.460 Moscow.
00:29:01.160 No.
00:29:02.460 There's no
00:29:03.080 way you can
00:29:03.480 put collateral
00:29:04.180 on it.
00:29:05.460 What kind of
00:29:06.320 guarantee could
00:29:07.140 you ever come
00:29:07.700 up with?
00:29:08.580 Now, I'd
00:29:09.280 love to be
00:29:09.700 wrong.
00:29:11.700 I'd love to
00:29:12.520 find out that
00:29:13.220 there's some
00:29:13.680 clever way you
00:29:15.720 could guarantee
00:29:16.420 this sort of
00:29:17.080 thing, but I
00:29:18.560 don't think so.
00:29:19.280 So, that'll
00:29:22.340 be the hard
00:29:22.760 part.
00:29:23.560 How in the
00:29:23.980 world do you
00:29:24.420 do something
00:29:24.900 that would
00:29:26.000 guarantee
00:29:26.480 anything, when
00:29:29.020 both of them
00:29:29.660 absolutely need
00:29:30.800 guarantees?
00:29:33.020 I don't know.
00:29:33.840 It's going to
00:29:34.240 be really
00:29:34.560 interesting.
00:29:35.400 I do think
00:29:36.060 they can get
00:29:36.600 it done, but
00:29:37.780 only because
00:29:38.480 they're both
00:29:39.100 incentivized to
00:29:40.840 do it.
00:29:41.720 They both want
00:29:42.480 it done, and
00:29:44.620 they might trust
00:29:47.200 each other, at
00:29:47.840 least in the
00:29:48.300 short run.
00:29:49.800 But, in the
00:29:50.220 long run, I
00:29:50.920 don't know.
00:29:51.300 Nothing can be
00:29:51.900 guaranteed in the
00:29:52.540 long run.
00:29:54.960 Well, let's
00:29:55.640 talk about the
00:29:56.420 leaders of the
00:29:57.500 Democrats.
00:30:00.100 Josh Shapiro,
00:30:01.340 governor of
00:30:02.100 Pennsylvania, was
00:30:02.820 on Bill Maher's
00:30:03.480 show, and Bill
00:30:04.760 Maher was, you
00:30:05.500 know, talking
00:30:05.940 about him as
00:30:07.200 a potential, you
00:30:08.100 know, future
00:30:08.640 leader of the
00:30:09.680 Democrats, and
00:30:11.380 he said that
00:30:12.160 the people said
00:30:13.120 that you, Josh
00:30:15.300 Shapiro, couldn't
00:30:16.260 become the VP
00:30:17.280 choice to
00:30:18.500 Kamala Harris,
00:30:19.280 because you're
00:30:20.420 Jewish, and
00:30:22.300 that wouldn't
00:30:23.100 be successful,
00:30:25.700 you know, the
00:30:26.100 way our country
00:30:26.720 is.
00:30:28.460 And Josh
00:30:29.800 Shapiro had
00:30:30.600 just the best
00:30:32.360 answer to that.
00:30:33.940 Now, it's not
00:30:35.120 a complete answer
00:30:36.220 because he was
00:30:36.820 talking about being
00:30:37.560 governor, but he
00:30:38.760 said when he ran
00:30:39.480 for governor,
00:30:41.280 his first ad
00:30:43.480 featured his
00:30:44.840 Friday night
00:30:46.360 Shabbat, where
00:30:48.980 because of his
00:30:49.960 Jewish faith,
00:30:51.200 every Friday he'd
00:30:52.340 be gathering with
00:30:53.140 friends and
00:30:53.800 family and having
00:30:54.460 a celebratory,
00:30:56.980 you know, very
00:30:57.520 much in the
00:30:58.080 Jewish tradition
00:30:58.960 kind of a
00:30:59.500 dinner.
00:31:00.160 So instead of
00:31:01.020 hiding from it
00:31:02.140 or, well,
00:31:03.440 hiding is the
00:31:03.940 wrong word,
00:31:04.580 instead of
00:31:05.200 downplaying his
00:31:06.160 religion and just
00:31:07.400 saying stuff like,
00:31:08.300 oh, it doesn't
00:31:08.700 matter, it doesn't
00:31:09.160 matter, he just
00:31:10.300 opened the door
00:31:12.080 and said, here it
00:31:13.600 is, here's what
00:31:14.880 we do, you know,
00:31:16.680 I like my
00:31:17.460 religion, you
00:31:18.080 like your
00:31:18.480 religion, let's
00:31:21.180 talk.
00:31:22.300 Now, to me, that
00:31:23.260 was one of the
00:31:23.760 most brilliant
00:31:24.380 things he could
00:31:25.880 have ever done
00:31:26.480 because here's
00:31:28.160 what I know
00:31:28.580 about people.
00:31:31.060 People will
00:31:31.860 distrust anything
00:31:33.180 they're unfamiliar
00:31:34.020 with.
00:31:35.700 It's just sort
00:31:36.540 of a reflex.
00:31:37.920 So it's not
00:31:38.340 like that you
00:31:38.920 that people
00:31:39.640 would be
00:31:39.940 necessarily
00:31:40.740 anti-Semitic,
00:31:43.380 it would just
00:31:43.800 be something
00:31:44.820 different.
00:31:46.080 And they'd
00:31:46.380 say, I'm
00:31:47.240 not sure I
00:31:47.780 understand that
00:31:48.800 or I know
00:31:49.240 it or, you
00:31:50.280 know, I
00:31:50.460 don't know
00:31:50.820 anybody who
00:31:51.320 is Jewish,
00:31:51.900 they might
00:31:52.200 say.
00:31:53.460 So I'm
00:31:54.220 not sure I
00:31:54.620 trust it.
00:31:56.000 But if he
00:31:56.800 leads with it
00:31:57.680 and says, I
00:31:58.920 have no
00:31:59.240 secrets, here's
00:32:00.860 my deal, here's
00:32:02.440 how I worship,
00:32:03.580 I love how I
00:32:04.360 worship, I
00:32:05.520 love how you
00:32:06.020 worship, let's
00:32:08.060 let's all be
00:32:08.720 worshipers.
00:32:11.160 That is so
00:32:12.060 disarming.
00:32:13.460 It's just so
00:32:14.140 disarming.
00:32:15.480 So to me,
00:32:16.420 that's brilliant
00:32:16.960 just to lead
00:32:18.240 with it and
00:32:18.840 say, you
00:32:20.000 know, I'm a
00:32:20.500 good person,
00:32:21.580 you're a good
00:32:22.100 person, we
00:32:23.420 don't even need
00:32:23.920 to talk about
00:32:24.500 this.
00:32:24.820 But if you
00:32:25.120 have questions,
00:32:25.880 glad to answer
00:32:26.420 them.
00:32:27.960 The trouble
00:32:28.580 is I don't
00:32:29.080 think that would
00:32:29.540 work for
00:32:29.900 national office.
00:32:32.040 It's a brilliant
00:32:32.740 thing for a local
00:32:33.740 or governor.
00:32:34.980 But as soon
00:32:35.780 as you're
00:32:36.040 talking about
00:32:36.640 the federal
00:32:37.380 government, then
00:32:39.180 it instantly
00:32:39.860 turns into, so
00:32:41.300 how much do
00:32:42.700 you like Israel?
00:32:43.920 Are you going
00:32:44.800 to support
00:32:45.220 Israel over
00:32:46.120 the United
00:32:46.660 States?
00:32:47.780 Would you
00:32:48.420 treat it as
00:32:49.020 an equal?
00:32:50.180 You know, so
00:32:50.720 you get all
00:32:51.120 those questions.
00:32:52.720 And those
00:32:53.740 don't have to
00:32:55.380 do with whether
00:32:56.100 we like anybody's
00:32:57.320 choice of
00:32:58.440 religion.
00:32:59.120 It's more
00:32:59.800 about, hmm,
00:33:01.360 can we be
00:33:01.940 sure, you
00:33:02.700 know, people
00:33:03.100 would have
00:33:03.400 their doubts
00:33:03.980 basically about
00:33:07.220 whether America
00:33:08.340 first really
00:33:09.120 meant America
00:33:09.760 first, and
00:33:11.100 they wouldn't
00:33:11.460 know.
00:33:12.880 Now, I
00:33:14.380 have no reason
00:33:15.040 to think he's
00:33:15.900 anything but
00:33:16.500 America first,
00:33:17.660 so let me be
00:33:18.300 clear about
00:33:18.760 that.
00:33:20.020 But the
00:33:21.460 public would
00:33:22.620 probably have
00:33:23.080 their questions.
00:33:24.560 So yeah, that
00:33:25.180 might be a
00:33:25.600 problem running
00:33:26.260 for national
00:33:28.080 office.
00:33:28.760 I think we
00:33:29.260 need to get
00:33:29.820 there.
00:33:30.960 You know, the
00:33:31.260 same reason I
00:33:31.920 thought that
00:33:32.560 electing Obama
00:33:33.660 was a good
00:33:34.220 step for
00:33:34.760 America, regardless
00:33:36.460 of how you
00:33:37.160 think he
00:33:37.580 governed.
00:33:38.580 That's a
00:33:39.160 separate question.
00:33:40.620 But I
00:33:41.540 felt it was
00:33:42.120 healthy for
00:33:43.580 us to just
00:33:43.980 get over it.
00:33:45.040 I think it
00:33:45.420 was healthy
00:33:45.900 to get over
00:33:46.700 Kennedy being
00:33:47.940 Catholic.
00:33:50.420 You know, it's
00:33:51.120 better to just
00:33:51.640 go right at
00:33:52.240 it.
00:33:52.960 You know, I
00:33:54.020 think it was
00:33:54.540 healthy that
00:33:56.140 Hillary Clinton
00:33:57.440 was the
00:33:58.460 nominee and
00:33:59.340 Kamala Harris
00:34:00.020 was the
00:34:00.380 nominee.
00:34:00.700 and they
00:34:02.000 got close.
00:34:03.640 You know, even
00:34:04.100 not winning
00:34:04.720 felt like, hey,
00:34:06.780 that's the
00:34:07.420 America I want
00:34:08.120 to live in,
00:34:08.600 where everybody
00:34:09.080 gets a shot.
00:34:10.540 So yeah, I
00:34:11.860 think it'd be
00:34:12.220 good for the
00:34:12.700 country to
00:34:13.180 just have
00:34:13.540 somebody getting
00:34:15.100 close to
00:34:15.700 office, even
00:34:16.260 if they didn't
00:34:16.740 win.
00:34:18.440 All right.
00:34:22.440 Here's some
00:34:23.020 other people
00:34:23.520 that the
00:34:23.960 Democrats have.
00:34:24.800 according to
00:34:26.980 CNN, AOC is
00:34:28.940 seen as a
00:34:29.500 leader of the
00:34:30.020 Democratic
00:34:30.460 Party, with
00:34:31.480 Kamala Harris
00:34:32.320 as a
00:34:32.660 close second.
00:34:36.460 And of
00:34:37.220 course, there's
00:34:37.660 Jasmine
00:34:38.080 Crockett, who
00:34:39.140 is making a
00:34:39.660 lot of noise
00:34:40.780 on TV, and
00:34:42.820 Bernie
00:34:43.620 Sanders.
00:34:45.460 Reince
00:34:46.060 Priebus was
00:34:47.200 talking about
00:34:47.920 how lame the
00:34:48.980 Democrat
00:34:49.440 leadership is.
00:34:50.740 He says
00:34:51.140 that only AOC
00:34:52.020 and Bernie
00:34:52.820 Sanders can
00:34:53.520 get a crowd
00:34:54.100 of 20
00:34:54.680 people to
00:34:55.180 show up.
00:34:56.780 Now, that's
00:34:57.240 an exaggeration,
00:34:58.380 but not a
00:34:59.220 big one.
00:35:00.160 Not a big
00:35:00.680 one.
00:35:00.960 It's an
00:35:01.260 excellent point.
00:35:02.980 But just
00:35:03.380 think about
00:35:04.180 the people
00:35:06.520 who are the
00:35:08.200 leaders, from
00:35:09.240 Chuck Schumer
00:35:10.220 to AOC,
00:35:11.720 Kamala Harris,
00:35:13.680 Tim
00:35:14.100 Walsh,
00:35:14.760 Jasmine
00:35:15.140 Crockett,
00:35:16.840 Bernie
00:35:17.220 Sanders,
00:35:19.520 Nancy
00:35:20.120 Pelosi,
00:35:22.020 why can
00:35:23.120 I never
00:35:23.480 remember the
00:35:24.240 minority
00:35:24.720 leader,
00:35:26.620 what's his
00:35:28.380 name?
00:35:29.660 What's the
00:35:30.360 minority
00:35:30.700 leader's
00:35:31.340 name?
00:35:33.320 Why can't
00:35:34.040 I remember
00:35:34.400 him?
00:35:34.620 Anyway,
00:35:35.640 so, yeah,
00:35:37.860 they have a
00:35:38.300 real problem.
00:35:39.980 But it
00:35:40.540 seems to me
00:35:41.100 that they've
00:35:41.780 also painted
00:35:43.100 themselves in
00:35:43.740 a corner.
00:35:45.260 Hakeem,
00:35:45.860 Hakeem
00:35:46.440 Jeffries,
00:35:46.940 thank you.
00:35:47.320 And Hakeem
00:35:49.720 Jeffries has
00:35:50.460 an unfortunate
00:35:51.240 vibe problem.
00:35:53.960 I'm sure he's
00:35:54.840 very smart,
00:35:56.320 or he wouldn't
00:35:56.960 be in his
00:35:57.340 position.
00:35:58.300 But there's
00:35:59.640 just something
00:36:00.200 about his
00:36:01.120 persona that
00:36:03.340 just reeks
00:36:05.100 of, I
00:36:06.760 don't trust
00:36:07.300 you.
00:36:08.360 It's the
00:36:09.000 darndest thing.
00:36:09.720 You'd have to
00:36:10.140 try pretty hard
00:36:10.960 to look
00:36:12.340 untrustworthy
00:36:13.220 every single
00:36:14.100 time you
00:36:14.500 talk.
00:36:15.680 Yeah.
00:36:16.700 He's got
00:36:17.340 that movie
00:36:18.860 character look
00:36:21.280 that says,
00:36:22.040 okay, you
00:36:22.500 can play a
00:36:22.980 bad guy in
00:36:23.580 this movie.
00:36:25.080 And I
00:36:25.760 don't know
00:36:26.040 how to fix
00:36:27.580 that.
00:36:28.140 That doesn't
00:36:28.600 seem fixable
00:36:29.380 by just
00:36:29.880 smiling more.
00:36:31.400 So they
00:36:32.140 don't really
00:36:32.500 have much
00:36:32.820 going on.
00:36:33.580 I think
00:36:33.860 they're going
00:36:34.600 to have to
00:36:34.940 pick, again,
00:36:36.580 I think
00:36:36.960 they'll have
00:36:37.260 to pick a
00:36:37.700 woman,
00:36:38.540 because the
00:36:39.380 Democrats are
00:36:40.680 very woman
00:36:41.600 focused.
00:36:42.580 And I think
00:36:43.260 the woman
00:36:43.660 will have to
00:36:44.140 be a
00:36:44.800 woman of
00:36:45.300 color.
00:36:46.280 So that
00:36:46.940 says AOC,
00:36:48.040 Kamala Harris,
00:36:49.120 Jasmine Crockett.
00:36:51.420 And I
00:36:52.340 don't think
00:36:52.760 any of
00:36:53.120 them can
00:36:53.420 win against
00:36:54.660 any solid
00:36:55.660 Republican
00:36:56.200 candidate.
00:36:57.520 So how
00:36:58.320 in the
00:36:58.600 world,
00:36:59.520 how in
00:36:59.860 the world
00:37:00.320 will they
00:37:00.720 ever go
00:37:01.460 back in
00:37:01.860 power?

00:37:15.960 Scotiabank,
00:37:16.680 you're richer
00:37:17.140 than you
00:37:17.480 think.
00:37:19.500 Anyway,
00:37:20.180 speaking of
00:37:20.620 Jasmine Crockett,
00:37:21.460 she was talking
00:37:21.940 about Trump
00:37:22.820 using that,
00:37:24.060 what I like to
00:37:25.180 call the
00:37:25.600 Adams era
00:37:26.480 law.
00:37:27.420 Now this is
00:37:28.160 referring to
00:37:29.160 President John
00:37:29.940 Adams.
00:37:31.080 And you
00:37:32.020 know the
00:37:32.680 story that
00:37:33.120 Trump used
00:37:34.260 the Alien
00:37:34.960 Enemies Act
00:37:35.820 from 1798,
00:37:37.480 which would
00:37:38.800 allow the
00:37:39.180 president to
00:37:39.780 detain or
00:37:40.580 deport
00:37:40.980 non-citizens
00:37:42.300 from an
00:37:43.540 enemy country
00:37:44.420 during war.
00:37:46.400 And I
00:37:47.160 think he
00:37:47.520 set the
00:37:48.280 stage for
00:37:50.280 that by
00:37:50.840 declaring that
00:37:51.800 these
00:37:52.980 Trenda or
00:37:54.040 Wagwa gang
00:37:55.720 members were
00:37:57.180 terrorists.
00:37:58.680 So suddenly,
00:38:00.120 if they're
00:38:00.680 terrorists and
00:38:01.340 they're coming
00:38:01.720 from another
00:38:02.320 country,
00:38:03.660 you know,
00:38:03.920 you're pretty
00:38:04.620 close to saying
00:38:05.360 that you're at
00:38:05.980 war with them
00:38:06.600 and that the
00:38:08.540 president can
00:38:09.140 kick them
00:38:09.560 out.
00:38:10.440 Well, as
00:38:11.420 the airplanes
00:38:12.360 were in the
00:38:13.280 air to
00:38:14.540 deport these
00:38:15.460 very people,
00:38:16.960 there was a
00:38:17.940 judge, of
00:38:18.720 course, it's
00:38:19.220 going to be
00:38:19.480 an Obama
00:38:20.540 appointee,
00:38:21.500 lefty judge
00:38:22.460 that they
00:38:22.800 found,
00:38:23.780 questioned the
00:38:24.880 use of the
00:38:25.460 law in this
00:38:26.480 particular context
00:38:27.480 and said that
00:38:28.820 those planes
00:38:29.760 need to turn
00:38:30.440 around even if
00:38:31.260 they're already
00:38:31.680 in the air.
00:38:32.180 But,
00:38:33.860 apparently,
00:38:35.200 and it's
00:38:35.460 being credited
00:38:36.560 to Stephen
00:38:37.340 Miller,
00:38:38.440 they had
00:38:39.220 rushed the
00:38:41.160 flights so
00:38:42.980 that by the
00:38:43.440 time the
00:38:43.820 judge ruled,
00:38:45.220 the flights
00:38:46.000 were already
00:38:46.600 in international
00:38:47.320 waters.
00:38:48.920 And the
00:38:49.580 counter-argument
00:38:50.440 is going to
00:38:50.920 be, hey,
00:38:52.080 that ruling
00:38:52.880 doesn't apply
00:38:53.680 because these
00:38:55.260 people are
00:38:57.840 not even in
00:38:58.440 the United
00:38:58.820 States anymore.
00:38:59.780 They're in
00:39:00.060 international
00:39:00.580 waters.
00:39:01.360 And then they
00:39:01.860 land.
00:39:03.060 And sure
00:39:04.000 enough,
00:39:05.240 El Salvador
00:39:05.800 processed them
00:39:07.840 and put them
00:39:08.560 in the El
00:39:09.660 Salvador
00:39:09.980 prisons.
00:39:11.720 So we'll
00:39:12.620 see if that
00:39:13.060 gets reversed.
00:39:15.300 If it does
00:39:15.780 get reversed,
00:39:17.080 then people
00:39:17.580 like Jasmine
00:39:18.220 Crockett,
00:39:18.860 who are
00:39:19.200 arguing against
00:39:20.440 it, once
00:39:22.480 again, are
00:39:24.360 going to be
00:39:24.740 on the
00:39:25.420 ridiculous
00:39:25.820 side.
00:39:27.360 Now, I
00:39:27.940 realize that
00:39:29.000 Jasmine's
00:39:29.980 argument has
00:39:30.760 some nuance
00:39:31.360 nuance to
00:39:32.260 it.
00:39:32.640 She's not
00:39:33.060 saying, I
00:39:33.600 like evil
00:39:35.100 gang members.
00:39:36.380 She's saying,
00:39:37.140 if the
00:39:37.380 president is
00:39:38.020 allowed to
00:39:38.460 use this
00:39:38.960 rule in
00:39:39.520 that way,
00:39:40.740 it will be
00:39:41.420 expanded and
00:39:42.300 he'll do
00:39:42.740 bad things in
00:39:43.540 the future.
00:39:43.940 future.
00:39:46.820 You notice that
00:39:48.040 a lot of
00:39:48.420 complaints about
00:39:50.220 Trump are
00:39:51.380 things that
00:39:52.040 they imagine
00:39:52.680 he would do
00:39:53.220 in the
00:39:53.480 future, which
00:39:55.620 is the
00:39:55.920 weirdest kind
00:39:56.540 of complaint,
00:39:57.180 because you
00:39:58.100 can say that
00:39:58.680 about everybody
00:39:59.500 all the
00:39:59.980 time.
00:40:01.160 It's like,
00:40:01.620 well, I
00:40:02.920 like this
00:40:03.460 candidate, but
00:40:04.300 I worry that
00:40:06.480 they'll round
00:40:07.040 everybody up and
00:40:07.920 murder them in
00:40:08.580 the future.
00:40:09.680 Is there any
00:40:10.480 evidence that
00:40:11.120 they want to
00:40:11.540 do that?
00:40:11.980 No, no.
00:40:13.640 But based on
00:40:14.920 the fake news
00:40:15.640 I've been
00:40:15.960 reading, it
00:40:16.940 sounds like
00:40:17.380 exactly the
00:40:18.160 sort of thing
00:40:18.600 they do in
00:40:19.480 the future.
00:40:19.860 Anyway, so
00:40:29.480 Trump wants
00:40:30.240 to deport
00:40:30.840 gang members
00:40:31.560 any way he
00:40:32.200 can, and
00:40:32.960 the Democrat
00:40:33.480 argument about
00:40:34.480 it is,
00:40:35.320 according to
00:40:36.160 Jasmine Crockett,
00:40:37.800 the argument
00:40:38.320 against getting
00:40:39.040 rid of these
00:40:39.580 dangerous gang
00:40:40.340 members any
00:40:41.040 way we can
00:40:41.680 is blah,
00:40:43.160 blah,
00:40:44.340 should use
00:40:45.660 a scalpel,
00:40:47.000 blah, blah
00:40:47.460 concept,
00:40:48.840 blah, blah,
00:40:49.400 vague fear
00:40:50.260 of the
00:40:50.480 future.
00:40:52.280 They really
00:40:53.180 have nothing.
00:40:55.940 And I love
00:40:56.940 the thing that
00:40:58.300 Trump does
00:40:58.960 so, so
00:40:59.920 well is
00:41:01.560 communicating in
00:41:02.760 a relatable
00:41:03.420 way.
00:41:05.180 These are
00:41:05.880 terrible people.
00:41:06.700 We're going to
00:41:06.940 do whatever we
00:41:07.560 can to get
00:41:07.980 them out of
00:41:08.300 our country.
00:41:09.000 Got it.
00:41:10.200 Got it.
00:41:11.620 Counter argument.
00:41:13.000 Well, this is
00:41:14.020 a law that
00:41:14.840 might be used
00:41:15.840 outside of
00:41:16.480 its context,
00:41:17.460 and, you
00:41:18.240 know, I
00:41:18.480 worry that he's
00:41:19.380 using a hatchet
00:41:21.200 instead of a
00:41:21.960 scalpel, and
00:41:23.400 what if he did
00:41:24.280 bad things in
00:41:25.040 the future?
00:41:26.840 And then you
00:41:27.580 hear that and
00:41:28.100 you go,
00:41:28.980 none of that
00:41:30.020 stuck to my
00:41:31.520 brain.
00:41:32.000 Could you
00:41:32.300 say it again?
00:41:34.420 Oh, well,
00:41:35.220 the law,
00:41:35.960 1798,
00:41:37.340 out of context,
00:41:38.920 and, you know,
00:41:39.500 the legal
00:41:40.200 processes,
00:41:41.540 and the
00:41:42.180 scalpel.
00:41:43.720 What?
00:41:45.040 And then
00:41:45.700 Trump says,
00:41:46.480 these are
00:41:47.160 terrible,
00:41:48.080 murderous
00:41:48.540 people.
00:41:49.020 We're going
00:41:49.480 to get rid
00:41:49.860 of them
00:41:50.100 any way we
00:41:50.560 can.
00:41:50.880 Got it.
00:41:51.860 Got it.
00:41:56.000 Well,
00:41:56.580 libs of
00:41:56.900 TikTok and
00:41:58.360 others were
00:41:58.880 showing that
00:41:59.540 according to
00:42:00.780 the Border
00:42:02.080 Patrol,
00:42:03.000 the amount
00:42:03.360 of fentanyl
00:42:04.140 seized at the
00:42:04.900 U.S.-Mexico
00:42:05.480 border is
00:42:06.220 down 40%
00:42:08.280 since January.
00:42:09.020 It's lowest
00:42:09.740 level since
00:42:10.520 2021.
00:42:12.200 Now,
00:42:12.520 that would
00:42:12.840 suggest that
00:42:14.380 closing the
00:42:15.060 border also
00:42:16.880 has already
00:42:17.660 greatly reduced
00:42:18.820 the flow of
00:42:19.440 fentanyl,
00:42:20.240 right?
00:42:22.120 Well,
00:42:23.140 probably not.
00:42:24.980 It might be
00:42:26.100 that the
00:42:26.480 fentanyl is
00:42:27.480 reduced,
00:42:28.420 but not
00:42:29.340 because the
00:42:29.840 border got
00:42:30.480 better controlled.
00:42:32.220 Because if
00:42:33.200 you didn't
00:42:33.460 know this,
00:42:34.700 the fentanyl
00:42:35.420 is not
00:42:35.960 coming across
00:42:36.840 in the
00:42:37.320 pockets of
00:42:38.860 the individuals
00:42:39.560 who are
00:42:40.000 walking across
00:42:40.900 the border
00:42:41.440 in places
00:42:42.480 we didn't
00:42:43.020 want them
00:42:43.400 to walk
00:42:43.840 across the
00:42:44.400 border.
00:42:45.500 That's not
00:42:46.160 how it gets
00:42:46.660 in.
00:42:47.620 That would
00:42:48.060 be the worst
00:42:48.540 way to do
00:42:49.060 it.
00:42:49.580 It turns
00:42:50.020 out that
00:42:50.900 almost all
00:42:51.960 of it goes
00:42:53.740 in automobiles
00:42:54.940 that are
00:42:55.900 legally entering
00:42:56.780 the country.
00:42:59.040 So it's not
00:43:00.080 like there's a
00:43:00.620 lot of illegal
00:43:02.140 entries that
00:43:03.160 also had
00:43:03.880 fentanyl that
00:43:04.940 almost doesn't
00:43:05.600 exist.
00:43:06.460 What it is,
00:43:07.360 is that we
00:43:08.020 can only check
00:43:08.700 maybe 20%
00:43:10.240 of the
00:43:10.560 traffic.
00:43:11.960 And because
00:43:12.380 it's so
00:43:12.840 cheap to
00:43:13.500 make fentanyl,
00:43:14.600 you wouldn't
00:43:15.340 really care
00:43:15.900 if 20%
00:43:16.580 of it got
00:43:17.000 caught,
00:43:17.900 as long
00:43:18.880 as 80%
00:43:19.480 didn't.
00:43:20.780 So since
00:43:21.640 I don't
00:43:21.980 think there's
00:43:22.400 been any
00:43:22.800 real change
00:43:23.580 in how
00:43:24.300 the traffic,
00:43:25.640 the legal
00:43:26.240 traffic back
00:43:27.100 and forth
00:43:27.680 that goes
00:43:28.640 through legal
00:43:29.280 checkpoints,
00:43:30.080 I don't think
00:43:30.760 there's been
00:43:31.080 a change
00:43:31.540 there.
00:43:33.040 So one
00:43:34.260 of the changes
00:43:34.800 there could
00:43:35.300 be is a
00:43:37.160 lot of
00:43:37.680 expense to
00:43:38.380 bring in
00:43:38.780 some kind
00:43:40.500 of scanning
00:43:41.040 devices that
00:43:41.860 they can use
00:43:42.420 on automobiles.
00:43:43.800 But even
00:43:44.160 then it would
00:43:44.680 slow down
00:43:45.220 traffic to
00:43:45.900 the point
00:43:46.280 where I'm
00:43:46.940 not sure
00:43:47.260 you can
00:43:47.560 really do
00:43:47.980 it because
00:43:49.060 it would
00:43:49.260 just stop
00:43:49.840 all border
00:43:51.140 traffic.
00:43:52.900 So here's
00:43:54.140 what I
00:43:54.400 think.
00:43:55.220 I don't
00:43:56.040 think that
00:43:56.500 the decrease
00:43:57.380 in illegal
00:43:58.600 entries is
00:44:00.420 really correlated
00:44:01.320 with the
00:44:01.840 decrease in
00:44:02.560 fentanyl.
00:44:03.740 But if
00:44:04.980 fentanyl is
00:44:05.900 actually way
00:44:06.640 down, and
00:44:07.740 it might
00:44:08.000 be, you
00:44:08.620 know, they
00:44:08.840 only report
00:44:09.460 what they
00:44:09.760 caught, not
00:44:10.600 what got
00:44:11.380 through.
00:44:11.960 So we
00:44:12.420 don't know
00:44:12.960 that it's
00:44:13.280 down.
00:44:13.840 We just
00:44:14.220 know that
00:44:14.540 what we
00:44:14.900 caught is
00:44:16.380 way down.
00:44:17.480 It could
00:44:18.220 be that
00:44:18.680 there's some
00:44:19.440 other pressure
00:44:21.020 on the
00:44:21.540 fentanyl
00:44:21.960 dealers.
00:44:22.980 I assume
00:44:23.800 there is.
00:44:24.460 So it
00:44:24.880 could be
00:44:25.200 that the
00:44:25.600 labs are
00:44:26.880 being
00:44:27.820 disrupted
00:44:28.400 and they
00:44:29.120 have to
00:44:29.420 relocate
00:44:30.100 because they're
00:44:30.620 worried about
00:44:31.120 our Reaper
00:44:32.100 drones getting
00:44:32.840 ready to
00:44:33.400 set them
00:44:34.200 on fire.
00:44:35.220 So it
00:44:35.860 could be
00:44:36.180 just the
00:44:36.540 operation is
00:44:37.260 completely
00:44:37.880 skedaddling
00:44:39.280 to try to
00:44:40.540 hide their
00:44:40.940 labs and
00:44:41.600 it's going
00:44:42.440 to take a
00:44:42.880 couple months
00:44:43.380 before they
00:44:43.880 can crank
00:44:44.380 up.
00:44:45.420 And maybe
00:44:45.700 just that.
00:44:46.740 Could be
00:44:47.380 that there's
00:44:48.500 enough pressure
00:44:49.140 on China,
00:44:50.460 finally,
00:44:51.840 that the
00:44:53.100 fewer
00:44:53.460 precursors are
00:44:54.420 making it to
00:44:54.960 Mexico to be
00:44:55.760 turned into
00:44:56.240 fentanyl.
00:44:57.340 Maybe.
00:44:57.960 I think that's
00:44:58.540 the least
00:44:58.920 likely.
00:45:00.160 But if I
00:45:00.860 had to guess,
00:45:02.320 probably there's
00:45:03.420 enough credible
00:45:05.020 military threat
00:45:06.380 that the
00:45:07.880 labs are
00:45:08.520 just shutting
00:45:09.360 down and
00:45:09.840 relocating so
00:45:11.180 temporarily they
00:45:12.100 can't make
00:45:12.560 much product.
00:45:14.420 Just a
00:45:15.140 guess.
00:45:16.120 But I don't
00:45:16.920 think it's
00:45:17.280 because there
00:45:18.780 are fewer
00:45:19.260 illegal crossings.
00:45:20.840 I just don't
00:45:21.280 think they're
00:45:21.660 correlated.
00:45:23.920 According to
00:45:24.640 the Telegraph,
00:45:26.200 more eggs
00:45:27.020 than fentanyl
00:45:27.700 are being
00:45:28.060 seized in the
00:45:28.780 border.
00:45:29.060 more eggs
00:45:31.300 than fentanyl.
00:45:32.240 It turns out
00:45:32.920 that eggs are
00:45:33.640 really cheap
00:45:34.260 south of the
00:45:35.120 border.
00:45:36.220 So a whole
00:45:36.860 bunch of
00:45:37.220 people thought,
00:45:37.940 huh, why
00:45:39.240 don't I just
00:45:39.760 buy eggs in
00:45:41.460 Mexico, get a
00:45:43.180 bunch of extra,
00:45:44.420 and then go
00:45:45.120 north and sell
00:45:46.560 them for twice
00:45:48.500 as much as I
00:45:49.220 bought them.
00:45:50.580 And so a lot
00:45:51.200 of people are
00:45:51.580 doing that.
00:45:52.620 So there's
00:45:54.460 some possibility
00:45:55.220 that the
00:45:55.720 cartels are
00:45:56.380 getting out of
00:45:56.880 the fentanyl
00:45:57.480 business and
00:45:58.100 moving into
00:45:58.620 eggs.
00:46:00.080 No, just
00:46:00.880 kidding.
00:46:01.280 They wouldn't
00:46:01.620 do that.
00:46:02.580 But the
00:46:04.360 egg smuggling
00:46:05.520 business has
00:46:06.800 taken over
00:46:09.800 for fentanyl.
00:46:13.920 Laura Loomer
00:46:14.760 has another
00:46:15.800 scoop.
00:46:16.940 This time
00:46:17.600 she found
00:46:18.540 that Hunter
00:46:18.980 Biden apparently
00:46:19.760 has been living
00:46:20.400 in South
00:46:20.920 Africa in
00:46:22.500 a hotel.
00:46:24.180 She calls
00:46:24.820 it a five
00:46:25.360 star oceanside
00:46:26.500 villa.
00:46:26.800 and I
00:46:28.220 guess he's
00:46:28.540 got full
00:46:29.040 secret service
00:46:30.000 protection,
00:46:31.260 which seems
00:46:33.200 very expensive.
00:46:34.540 Seems very
00:46:35.100 expensive to
00:46:35.820 have a secret
00:46:36.300 service in
00:46:37.820 another country
00:46:38.640 sort of
00:46:39.860 permanently,
00:46:40.980 semi-permanently,
00:46:42.320 especially at a
00:46:43.320 seaside resort
00:46:44.360 kind of place.
00:46:46.040 So that's
00:46:47.120 weird.
00:46:47.540 But as Laura
00:46:48.540 Loomer points
00:46:49.200 out, he
00:46:50.920 has claimed
00:46:51.920 that he has
00:46:52.460 no money,
00:46:53.100 so he
00:46:54.120 did a
00:46:54.840 signed
00:46:55.080 declaration
00:46:55.680 in court
00:46:56.120 that he's
00:46:56.460 poor,
00:46:57.100 but yet he's
00:46:58.060 living like
00:46:58.780 a person
00:46:59.360 who does
00:46:59.740 have money.
00:47:01.080 So the
00:47:01.980 question would
00:47:02.500 be, where
00:47:04.180 is the money
00:47:04.560 coming from?
00:47:05.300 Or did you
00:47:06.080 lie when he
00:47:06.680 said he
00:47:07.000 didn't have
00:47:07.360 any?
00:47:08.100 Maybe he
00:47:08.820 just sells
00:47:09.280 one painting
00:47:09.900 a week,
00:47:10.580 and it's
00:47:10.920 all he
00:47:11.160 needs to
00:47:11.660 support his
00:47:12.180 lifestyle.
00:47:13.480 No,
00:47:13.700 no.
00:47:14.840 But yeah,
00:47:16.000 hunters in
00:47:16.600 South Africa.
00:47:17.980 When was the
00:47:18.520 last time you
00:47:19.020 heard a story
00:47:19.780 about South
00:47:20.460 Africa that
00:47:21.960 wasn't about
00:47:22.560 something bad?
00:47:26.600 Because there's
00:47:27.360 another South
00:47:28.020 Africa story
00:47:29.620 about,
00:47:31.820 apparently,
00:47:32.340 South Africa
00:47:32.880 has some
00:47:34.080 kind of a
00:47:34.560 research facility
00:47:36.200 in Antarctica.
00:47:40.460 And let's
00:47:41.360 see, let me
00:47:41.960 skip ahead to
00:47:42.600 that.
00:47:44.720 Well, I'll
00:47:45.220 do that in
00:47:45.640 order.
00:47:46.040 We'll get to
00:47:46.520 that.
00:47:46.780 There's a
00:47:47.080 story about
00:47:47.560 a research
00:47:48.180 facility.
00:47:49.640 Anyway,
00:47:49.900 according to
00:47:53.360 Breitbart
00:47:53.720 News,
00:47:54.280 there's a
00:47:54.700 representative
00:47:55.320 Brandon
00:47:57.040 Ongill,
00:47:58.480 or Ongill?
00:48:00.480 Brandon
00:48:01.040 Gill.
00:48:02.380 Yeah,
00:48:02.980 Brandon
00:48:03.280 Gill.
00:48:04.180 And he
00:48:04.580 wants to
00:48:04.980 see if
00:48:05.820 he can
00:48:07.060 get the
00:48:07.620 Congress
00:48:08.240 to prohibit
00:48:09.720 foreign
00:48:10.200 countries
00:48:10.660 from buying
00:48:12.240 real estate
00:48:12.920 in America
00:48:13.580 if that
00:48:14.780 country doesn't
00:48:15.580 allow Americans
00:48:16.300 to buy real
00:48:17.000 estate in
00:48:17.560 their country.
00:48:18.120 Now, China
00:48:19.180 would be
00:48:19.640 obviously the
00:48:20.300 main target
00:48:20.840 of this
00:48:21.280 because China
00:48:23.960 buys a lot
00:48:24.500 of property
00:48:24.900 in the U.S.
00:48:26.660 and farmland
00:48:27.760 especially.
00:48:29.120 So what do
00:48:29.480 you think
00:48:29.680 about that?
00:48:31.420 To me,
00:48:32.120 that seems
00:48:32.520 like an easy
00:48:33.100 one.
00:48:34.180 Yeah,
00:48:34.420 if we can't
00:48:35.120 buy land
00:48:35.640 in China,
00:48:36.860 why do we
00:48:37.680 let China
00:48:38.180 buy land
00:48:38.860 in the United
00:48:39.300 States?
00:48:41.140 I mean,
00:48:41.620 that just
00:48:42.200 seems basic.
00:48:44.580 You know,
00:48:45.000 it has to
00:48:45.820 be at least
00:48:46.240 reciprocal.
00:48:46.800 So,
00:48:48.560 yeah,
00:48:48.920 I'd be
00:48:49.200 in favor
00:48:49.520 of that.
00:48:52.100 It would
00:48:52.720 be expensive.
00:48:53.780 It would
00:48:53.960 probably
00:48:54.240 lower
00:48:54.680 property
00:48:56.760 costs,
00:48:57.420 which would
00:48:57.760 be good
00:48:58.060 for people
00:48:58.540 buying stuff.
00:48:59.740 When I
00:49:00.060 found out
00:49:00.480 my friend
00:49:00.960 got a
00:49:01.300 great deal
00:49:01.900 on a
00:49:02.260 wool coat
00:49:02.660 from Winners,
00:49:03.500 I started
00:49:04.260 wondering,
00:49:05.180 is every
00:49:06.000 fabulous item
00:49:06.780 I see
00:49:07.200 from Winners?
00:49:08.100 Like that
00:49:08.800 woman over
00:49:09.280 there with
00:49:09.740 the designer
00:49:10.180 jeans.
00:49:10.980 Are those
00:49:11.600 from Winners?
00:49:12.540 Ooh,
00:49:13.140 are those
00:49:13.500 beautiful gold
00:49:14.120 earrings?
00:49:14.980 Did she pay
00:49:15.420 full price?
00:49:16.060 Or that
00:49:16.600 leather tote?
00:49:17.360 Or that
00:49:17.600 cashmere
00:49:17.960 sweater?
00:49:18.540 Or those
00:49:18.880 knee-high
00:49:19.200 boots?
00:49:19.980 That dress?
00:49:20.800 That jacket?
00:49:21.480 Those shoes?
00:49:22.500 Is anyone
00:49:23.300 paying full price
00:49:24.240 for anything?
00:49:25.460 Stop wondering.
00:49:26.720 Start winning.
00:49:27.660 Winners find
00:49:28.480 fabulous for
00:49:29.280 less.
00:49:29.660 Meanwhile,
00:49:32.280 the EPA
00:49:32.900 chief,
00:49:33.620 Lee Zeldin,
00:49:35.000 he's saying
00:49:35.480 that Trump's
00:49:36.780 deregulation
00:49:37.700 push,
00:49:38.520 and he's
00:49:39.080 a big part
00:49:39.680 of it,
00:49:40.960 he said
00:49:41.540 on Fox
00:49:42.040 News,
00:49:43.300 that's the
00:49:44.000 most amount
00:49:44.680 of deregulation
00:49:45.720 ever.
00:49:47.980 And
00:49:48.480 he said
00:49:50.340 the Biden
00:49:51.520 and Obama
00:49:52.340 administration
00:49:52.880 treated
00:49:53.280 regulations
00:49:53.860 like commandments,
00:49:54.720 targeting energy
00:49:55.900 supply and
00:49:56.620 raising costs.
00:49:57.420 and then
00:50:00.300 Trump wants
00:50:01.020 the U.S.
00:50:01.620 to be
00:50:02.100 energy
00:50:02.820 dominant,
00:50:03.880 so a whole
00:50:04.460 bunch of
00:50:05.100 regulations are
00:50:06.000 going.
00:50:06.560 But they're
00:50:07.100 still focused
00:50:07.740 on making
00:50:08.120 sure there's
00:50:08.600 clean air
00:50:09.160 and land
00:50:09.600 and basically
00:50:12.460 clean air,
00:50:13.580 land,
00:50:13.860 and water
00:50:14.260 while growing
00:50:15.160 the economy.
00:50:15.720 Now,
00:50:18.160 assuming this
00:50:19.120 is all
00:50:19.460 true,
00:50:20.720 and assuming
00:50:21.340 that the
00:50:21.780 regulations
00:50:22.260 they got
00:50:22.740 rid of
00:50:23.180 were things
00:50:23.740 that really
00:50:24.240 were slowing
00:50:24.800 down our
00:50:26.160 energy business,
00:50:28.080 I'd expect
00:50:29.160 it would
00:50:29.520 take at
00:50:30.720 least three
00:50:31.540 years for
00:50:33.520 the reduction
00:50:34.660 in all these
00:50:36.420 regulations to
00:50:37.340 really show up
00:50:38.320 in the economy.
00:50:39.480 So I feel
00:50:40.440 like Trump's
00:50:41.540 third year
00:50:42.600 is going
00:50:43.960 to be
00:50:44.200 insane.
00:50:45.720 Because a
00:50:46.600 whole bunch
00:50:47.060 of things
00:50:47.440 he's doing
00:50:47.940 from tariffs
00:50:49.000 to deregulation,
00:50:52.560 those things
00:50:55.540 don't make
00:50:56.680 an immediate
00:50:57.180 positive impact
00:50:58.720 and might
00:50:59.200 be negative
00:51:00.280 in the short
00:51:00.780 run.
00:51:01.680 But by the
00:51:02.560 third year,
00:51:03.640 you should
00:51:04.140 start seeing
00:51:04.720 it in prices,
00:51:06.460 and then it's
00:51:07.120 going to be
00:51:07.460 crazy.
00:51:09.020 So I don't
00:51:10.740 think I've
00:51:11.160 ever been
00:51:11.540 more bullish
00:51:12.240 on the
00:51:13.680 United States.
00:51:14.500 Now,
00:51:14.700 the big
00:51:14.960 thing is
00:51:15.980 still
00:51:16.200 Doge.
00:51:17.360 If Doge
00:51:18.320 can't bring
00:51:18.880 down the
00:51:20.980 expenses and
00:51:22.400 make that
00:51:22.840 work, then
00:51:23.940 all bets are
00:51:24.640 off.
00:51:25.480 But it does
00:51:26.320 look like
00:51:26.800 it's going
00:51:28.360 to make a
00:51:29.360 good run
00:51:29.760 at it,
00:51:30.340 at the very
00:51:30.840 least.
00:51:31.920 So I don't
00:51:32.920 think the
00:51:33.360 United States
00:51:34.060 has been a
00:51:34.840 better investment
00:51:35.820 maybe at any
00:51:38.460 time since
00:51:39.280 the end of
00:51:40.880 the Great
00:51:41.940 Depression.
00:51:43.580 If at the
00:51:44.480 end of the
00:51:45.020 Depression you
00:51:45.660 had any
00:51:46.160 money at
00:51:46.560 all and
00:51:47.060 you bought
00:51:47.320 a few
00:51:47.580 stocks, you
00:51:49.160 got really
00:51:49.760 rich because
00:51:51.100 that was the
00:51:51.840 worst looking
00:51:53.420 period in
00:51:54.040 American economic
00:51:55.420 history, but
00:51:57.240 it was also the
00:51:57.860 bottom.
00:51:58.900 So if you
00:51:59.400 bought a stock
00:51:59.980 then, you
00:52:00.820 were pretty
00:52:01.300 happy.
00:52:02.280 I feel like
00:52:03.220 we're in a
00:52:03.720 similar situation.
00:52:05.640 Now, obviously,
00:52:06.640 everything could
00:52:07.280 go to hell
00:52:07.860 because any
00:52:09.580 surprise could
00:52:10.340 happen.
00:52:10.840 We get hit by
00:52:11.400 a meteor, a
00:52:12.260 war happens
00:52:12.860 that we
00:52:13.140 didn't expect.
00:52:14.340 Anything could
00:52:14.940 happen.
00:52:16.120 But the
00:52:18.000 promise of
00:52:19.420 what the
00:52:19.840 third year of
00:52:20.740 Trump's
00:52:21.320 administration
00:52:22.340 looks like,
00:52:24.180 I don't think
00:52:25.340 I've ever seen
00:52:26.060 a more optimistic
00:52:27.060 set of
00:52:28.620 variables coming
00:52:29.460 together.
00:52:30.500 I mean, this
00:52:30.860 looks really
00:52:31.460 strong at
00:52:32.420 this point.
00:52:35.260 Well, Trump
00:52:36.180 is using
00:52:37.120 the government's
00:52:39.680 control over
00:52:41.100 federal funding
00:52:42.440 for college
00:52:43.220 research to
00:52:45.140 put pressure
00:52:45.940 on colleges.
00:52:46.860 So Columbia
00:52:47.340 already lost
00:52:48.340 $400 million
00:52:49.660 in grants
00:52:50.380 because the
00:52:51.600 government says
00:52:52.480 they're too
00:52:53.780 anti-Semitic or
00:52:55.060 they're allowing
00:52:55.620 too much
00:52:56.040 anti-Semitism.
00:52:57.840 And there
00:52:58.740 are apparently
00:52:59.360 hundreds of
00:53:00.060 schools,
00:53:01.280 these federal
00:53:02.080 grants for
00:53:03.140 every kind of
00:53:04.240 research,
00:53:05.380 educational,
00:53:06.300 medical,
00:53:06.640 agriculture,
00:53:07.780 all kinds
00:53:08.140 of research.
00:53:09.340 And apparently
00:53:09.860 in 2021,
00:53:11.040 the last time
00:53:12.360 we have numbers
00:53:12.920 for it,
00:53:13.900 the federal
00:53:14.620 government gave
00:53:15.360 $49 billion
00:53:16.760 for federal
00:53:18.860 research and
00:53:19.700 development funding.
00:53:21.760 $49 billion
00:53:23.160 to colleges,
00:53:25.640 which, again,
00:53:27.480 was a big part
00:53:28.900 of their entire
00:53:29.480 funding.
00:53:29.880 Now, what do
00:53:32.300 you think we
00:53:32.700 got for those
00:53:33.360 $49 billion?
00:53:36.580 Are you aware
00:53:37.900 of anything
00:53:39.440 that's coming
00:53:40.060 out of college
00:53:40.860 research that's
00:53:42.780 changing anything?
00:53:45.480 Because you know
00:53:46.260 what I worry?
00:53:47.480 What I worry about
00:53:48.580 is that we got
00:53:49.360 nothing for it
00:53:50.260 and that it's
00:53:52.080 just a bunch of
00:53:52.760 people who are
00:53:53.600 rushing to
00:53:54.680 publish any kind
00:53:56.580 of science they
00:53:57.220 can.
00:53:57.480 because I
00:53:58.740 don't think we
00:53:59.280 say, okay,
00:54:00.080 we'll only give
00:54:00.900 you this money
00:54:01.540 if your research
00:54:04.280 is really good
00:54:05.280 for the economy
00:54:06.040 and good for
00:54:06.720 America.
00:54:08.820 I doubt it.
00:54:10.740 I'll bet it's a
00:54:11.480 whole bunch of
00:54:12.100 we're going to
00:54:13.360 prove that DEI
00:54:14.400 is the best thing
00:54:15.180 in the world.
00:54:16.220 We're going to
00:54:16.660 prove that there
00:54:17.360 are more than
00:54:18.040 two genders.
00:54:19.820 We're going to
00:54:20.380 prove,
00:54:20.880 I feel like
00:54:23.220 it's going to
00:54:24.700 be a whole
00:54:25.100 bunch of
00:54:25.640 just backward
00:54:27.080 science and
00:54:28.060 random correlations
00:54:29.420 and, you know,
00:54:30.840 slapped together
00:54:32.200 research with
00:54:33.240 students collecting
00:54:35.120 data that nobody
00:54:36.320 trusts and
00:54:38.360 nobody's, you
00:54:39.440 know, we already
00:54:40.080 know that the
00:54:40.660 peer review articles
00:54:42.560 or the peer review
00:54:44.040 process doesn't
00:54:45.800 work at all.
00:54:46.440 So even being
00:54:49.120 peer reviewed
00:54:49.880 doesn't really
00:54:51.140 make it true,
00:54:52.220 more than half
00:54:53.120 the time anyway.
00:54:54.680 So wouldn't
00:54:56.300 you love to
00:54:56.860 see some kind
00:54:58.340 of a top
00:54:59.360 10, here's
00:55:01.140 what we got
00:55:01.660 for our 49
00:55:02.700 billion dollars?
00:55:06.200 I feel like
00:55:07.380 most of that
00:55:07.880 was wasted.
00:55:09.840 But I wonder
00:55:10.660 if it's 100%
00:55:11.600 was wasted.
00:55:13.280 And I also
00:55:14.080 think to myself,
00:55:14.860 if they were
00:55:16.340 doing research
00:55:17.120 that could be
00:55:17.820 sort of
00:55:18.240 immediately turned
00:55:19.260 into product,
00:55:20.800 you know,
00:55:20.980 let's say they
00:55:21.940 were doing
00:55:22.240 research on,
00:55:24.040 I don't know,
00:55:25.360 a new cancer
00:55:26.100 cure or a
00:55:27.940 new way to
00:55:28.440 make batteries
00:55:29.080 last longer.
00:55:29.900 That is the
00:55:30.420 sort of thing
00:55:30.840 that they
00:55:31.160 might be
00:55:31.480 doing.
00:55:33.060 How much
00:55:33.740 of that
00:55:34.040 wouldn't have
00:55:34.700 been funded
00:55:35.280 by industry?
00:55:38.020 I feel like
00:55:38.820 industry would
00:55:39.560 have funded
00:55:39.900 that, right?
00:55:41.060 Because it
00:55:41.660 can't be super
00:55:42.580 expensive to do
00:55:43.500 a study like
00:55:44.160 that.
00:55:45.300 So, you
00:55:46.280 know, you
00:55:46.680 don't think
00:55:47.100 Tesla would
00:55:47.900 say, okay,
00:55:48.940 if you're
00:55:49.360 working on a
00:55:49.880 way to make
00:55:51.140 our batteries
00:55:51.720 last twice as
00:55:52.640 long, yeah,
00:55:53.840 we'll shoot you
00:55:55.540 half a million
00:55:56.100 dollars for
00:55:57.060 that.
00:55:58.500 So I'm not
00:55:59.400 sure any of
00:56:00.040 this makes
00:56:00.440 sense, that
00:56:01.280 the federal
00:56:01.800 government should
00:56:02.540 be even in
00:56:03.080 the business
00:56:03.540 of funding
00:56:04.140 research when
00:56:06.200 private industry
00:56:08.160 presumably would
00:56:09.420 want to fund
00:56:10.380 it too.
00:56:10.960 There might be
00:56:11.360 some exceptions,
00:56:12.220 but I'd like to
00:56:13.480 see the argument
00:56:14.020 for why we
00:56:14.700 do this.
00:56:16.780 According to
00:56:17.620 Slay News,
00:56:18.940 Frank Bergman's
00:56:19.820 writing, that
00:56:20.780 the World
00:56:21.160 Economic Forum
00:56:22.120 is asking for
00:56:25.000 a global ban
00:56:26.200 on homegrown
00:56:27.120 food.
00:56:29.020 Homegrown food.
00:56:31.180 Now, they're
00:56:32.060 talking mostly
00:56:32.740 about urban
00:56:33.480 gardens, where
00:56:35.260 people put a
00:56:36.040 little garden in
00:56:36.900 the middle of a
00:56:37.400 city.
00:56:37.620 and the
00:56:38.980 argument is
00:56:39.600 that these
00:56:40.480 little gardens
00:56:41.120 are so
00:56:41.700 inefficient
00:56:42.300 that they
00:56:44.080 contribute more
00:56:45.520 badness to
00:56:46.320 the environment
00:56:47.380 than they
00:56:48.080 produce in
00:56:48.940 food.
00:56:50.520 And it would
00:56:51.260 be better if
00:56:51.820 everybody just
00:56:52.440 got their food
00:56:53.220 from the big
00:56:53.740 farms instead
00:56:55.860 of trying to
00:56:56.400 grow it at
00:56:56.860 home.
00:56:57.800 To which I
00:56:58.560 say, does
00:57:01.280 anybody listen
00:57:02.120 to the World
00:57:02.720 Economic Forum
00:57:03.620 in 2025?
00:57:06.380 I feel like
00:57:07.260 didn't Klaus
00:57:08.880 Schwab already
00:57:11.520 retire?
00:57:12.960 I feel like the
00:57:13.920 World Economic
00:57:14.560 Forum isn't
00:57:15.180 really even a
00:57:15.960 thing that
00:57:17.740 anybody pays
00:57:18.400 attention to.
00:57:19.800 And here would
00:57:20.420 be a very good
00:57:21.640 reason why nobody
00:57:23.260 pays attention.
00:57:24.700 It doesn't feel
00:57:25.640 like a 2025
00:57:26.420 problem, does
00:57:27.500 it?
00:57:28.320 It feels like
00:57:29.600 a 2020
00:57:30.620 problem.
00:57:32.340 Oh, that
00:57:32.860 World Economic
00:57:33.600 Forum, they
00:57:34.200 have too much
00:57:34.700 power.
00:57:35.640 Now it just
00:57:36.300 seems like a
00:57:37.300 club for rich
00:57:38.120 people.
00:57:39.320 And they put
00:57:40.720 out some weird
00:57:41.500 proclamations
00:57:42.340 that nobody
00:57:42.760 cares about.
00:57:43.780 I mean, none
00:57:44.160 of it's binding.
00:57:46.080 So, anyway.
00:57:50.920 I guess there
00:57:51.880 are 70, they
00:57:52.760 did a study of
00:57:53.500 73 urban
00:57:54.500 agriculture sites
00:57:55.780 around the
00:57:56.220 world.
00:57:57.320 We don't
00:57:58.020 care.
00:57:59.500 Grace Price,
00:58:01.240 who you know
00:58:02.280 because she
00:58:02.620 talks about
00:58:03.160 nutrition and
00:58:04.460 food problems
00:58:05.440 in the United
00:58:05.900 States.
00:58:08.100 She points
00:58:09.000 out that the
00:58:10.380 American Heart
00:58:11.500 Association has
00:58:14.320 on their
00:58:15.060 forum, General
00:58:17.060 Mills and
00:58:17.860 PepsiCo.
00:58:20.240 So, when you
00:58:21.500 think of things
00:58:22.320 that are good
00:58:22.780 for your heart,
00:58:24.120 do you think
00:58:24.700 of General
00:58:26.660 Mills and
00:58:27.440 PepsiCo?
00:58:28.160 So, they're
00:58:30.140 major members
00:58:31.700 of the
00:58:32.420 American Heart
00:58:33.000 Association.
00:58:34.120 Now, does
00:58:34.540 that matter?
00:58:36.160 Do you think
00:58:37.080 you'll see any
00:58:37.680 impact because
00:58:38.720 those entities
00:58:40.000 are on the
00:58:40.620 American Heart
00:58:41.560 Association?
00:58:42.920 Well, maybe
00:58:43.700 because there
00:58:44.520 was this bill,
00:58:45.760 SB 379,
00:58:47.620 that would
00:58:49.140 have removed
00:58:51.640 from the
00:58:52.580 SNAP
00:58:52.960 program, which
00:58:53.920 is a program
00:58:54.780 for people
00:58:55.600 without money
00:58:56.240 to buy
00:58:56.580 food.
00:58:58.260 So, right
00:58:58.640 now, those
00:58:59.160 people could
00:58:59.800 use the
00:59:00.340 government money
00:59:01.120 to buy
00:59:01.900 candy, soda,
00:59:03.100 cookies, and
00:59:03.740 chips.
00:59:05.700 And so,
00:59:09.840 there was an
00:59:10.440 effort to say,
00:59:11.360 well, you can
00:59:11.980 buy food, but
00:59:13.780 we don't think
00:59:14.300 you should be
00:59:14.720 using the
00:59:15.200 government money
00:59:15.900 for candy,
00:59:16.720 soda, cookies,
00:59:17.880 and chips.
00:59:18.320 Now, who
00:59:19.920 do you
00:59:20.120 think makes
00:59:20.700 at least
00:59:22.460 these soda,
00:59:23.720 cookies, and
00:59:24.340 chips?
00:59:26.420 Two members
00:59:27.400 of the
00:59:27.740 board, or
00:59:28.800 the forum.
00:59:30.440 And so,
00:59:31.740 the American
00:59:32.260 Heart
00:59:33.040 Association
00:59:33.740 came out
00:59:35.000 against,
00:59:36.220 against
00:59:37.700 banning
00:59:39.520 candy,
00:59:40.740 soda,
00:59:41.220 cookies, and
00:59:41.880 chips from
00:59:42.820 government-funded
00:59:43.880 food buying.
00:59:45.640 They came
00:59:46.520 out against
00:59:47.120 it.
00:59:47.400 the American
00:59:48.500 Heart
00:59:48.880 Association.
00:59:51.240 Now, let
00:59:52.280 me ask this
00:59:52.880 question again.
00:59:55.260 Are there
00:59:56.140 any large
00:59:56.900 organizations
00:59:57.640 that are not
00:59:58.880 corrupt?
01:00:01.180 I wonder
01:00:02.440 if there
01:00:02.920 are.
01:00:04.300 It just
01:00:04.920 seems to
01:00:05.400 me that
01:00:05.980 everything
01:00:07.800 that matters
01:00:08.540 has been
01:00:09.520 penetrated by
01:00:10.480 somebody who
01:00:11.220 had the
01:00:11.580 ability to
01:00:12.240 penetrate
01:00:12.540 them.
01:00:13.520 So, it
01:00:14.140 feels like
01:00:14.880 there just
01:00:16.340 aren't any
01:00:17.080 large
01:00:17.800 organizations
01:00:18.500 that you
01:00:19.000 can trust
01:00:19.620 at all.
01:00:21.300 Like, they
01:00:21.940 all get
01:00:22.360 corrupted one
01:00:24.080 way or
01:00:24.400 another, either
01:00:25.340 through money
01:00:26.000 or membership
01:00:26.740 or something.
01:00:28.420 So, there
01:00:28.880 you go.
01:00:29.780 According to
01:00:30.340 Neoscoop,
01:00:31.760 Neoscoop,
01:00:33.660 Neural,
01:00:34.420 Sabaya's
01:00:34.880 writing,
01:00:35.800 that apparently
01:00:36.700 human intelligence
01:00:37.720 seems to be
01:00:38.740 dropping sharply.
01:00:39.780 so people
01:00:41.540 are getting
01:00:41.960 dumber, but
01:00:43.220 really quickly,
01:00:44.840 like, more
01:00:45.400 so than
01:00:46.060 other times
01:00:47.400 in history.
01:00:49.060 So,
01:00:50.460 apparently, it's
01:00:51.100 not just your
01:00:51.780 imagination.
01:00:54.480 People
01:00:55.080 are losing
01:00:56.480 the ability
01:00:57.020 to critically
01:00:57.660 think and
01:00:58.400 to concentrate
01:00:59.000 and to do
01:00:59.900 reasoning.
01:01:00.700 They're bad
01:01:01.260 at problem
01:01:01.780 solving,
01:01:02.560 their information
01:01:03.400 processing
01:01:04.020 skills.
01:01:04.360 basically,
01:01:05.760 all aspects
01:01:07.060 of intelligence
01:01:07.900 are dropping
01:01:09.300 like a rock,
01:01:10.940 sort of
01:01:11.640 everywhere in
01:01:12.180 the modern
01:01:12.560 world.
01:01:14.440 And the
01:01:15.280 thinking is
01:01:15.920 that, you
01:01:16.420 know, it
01:01:16.700 might be
01:01:17.000 some combination
01:01:17.780 of, you
01:01:18.920 know, things
01:01:19.400 in the
01:01:20.100 environment.
01:01:21.120 It might be
01:01:21.440 the food.
01:01:22.260 It might be
01:01:22.640 the pollution.
01:01:23.600 It might be
01:01:23.980 the lead.
01:01:25.340 It might be
01:01:25.760 the phones.
01:01:26.980 It might be,
01:01:27.900 you know,
01:01:28.980 the screens.
01:01:31.140 So, you
01:01:32.100 know, I
01:01:32.480 think mostly
01:01:33.800 the phones.
01:01:34.360 If you
01:01:35.820 had to
01:01:36.040 pick one
01:01:36.440 thing, it
01:01:37.240 would be
01:01:37.420 the technology,
01:01:38.360 mostly the
01:01:38.840 phones.
01:01:39.820 But I'm
01:01:40.880 going to
01:01:41.060 offer a
01:01:41.560 counterpoint.
01:01:43.280 You ready
01:01:43.560 for this?
01:01:45.500 Yes, it's
01:01:46.300 true that
01:01:47.780 a human
01:01:48.300 is getting
01:01:49.040 dumber.
01:01:50.100 Humans.
01:01:51.020 So, we're
01:01:51.420 all getting
01:01:51.760 dumber.
01:01:52.880 However,
01:01:53.940 we're not
01:01:55.080 human anymore.
01:01:56.940 We are
01:01:57.660 cyborg.
01:01:58.980 If I have
01:01:59.840 a phone in
01:02:00.440 my hand,
01:02:01.640 I'm smarter
01:02:02.660 than anybody
01:02:03.520 in history
01:02:04.120 has ever
01:02:04.600 been.
01:02:06.280 Right?
01:02:07.520 As long
01:02:08.180 as I
01:02:08.420 know how
01:02:08.780 to talk
01:02:09.380 to AI
01:02:09.880 and ask
01:02:10.560 questions
01:02:11.020 and search
01:02:11.520 for stuff
01:02:12.040 or even
01:02:13.480 just text
01:02:14.180 somebody who
01:02:14.680 knows the
01:02:15.020 answer that
01:02:15.540 I want to
01:02:16.980 know the
01:02:17.240 answer to.
01:02:17.660 So, if
01:02:20.560 you say
01:02:20.980 that people
01:02:21.420 are getting
01:02:21.820 dumber,
01:02:22.680 that's
01:02:23.640 true, but
01:02:25.560 I wonder
01:02:25.960 if it's
01:02:26.380 relevant.
01:02:27.860 Because
01:02:28.340 cyborgs,
01:02:29.400 which is
01:02:29.860 what we
01:02:30.220 are, we've
01:02:31.220 evolved into
01:02:31.880 a cyborg
01:02:32.540 state.
01:02:34.020 A cyborg is
01:02:35.180 way smarter
01:02:35.780 than anybody
01:02:36.820 in history.
01:02:37.360 Do you have
01:02:38.580 a question?
01:02:39.200 If I've got
01:02:39.700 my phone in
01:02:40.300 my hand, I
01:02:40.840 can get an
01:02:41.320 answer.
01:02:42.580 So, does
01:02:44.140 it make sense
01:02:44.680 to compare
01:02:45.140 cyborgs to
01:02:46.720 humans without
01:02:50.560 factoring in
01:02:51.980 the fact that
01:02:52.640 the cyborg
01:02:53.420 part, you
01:02:54.440 know, the
01:02:54.680 technical part
01:02:55.480 gives them a
01:02:56.480 superpower?
01:02:56.980 I don't
01:02:58.500 know.
01:02:59.540 I don't
01:03:00.220 know.
01:03:02.700 I think that
01:03:03.620 even people
01:03:04.220 who are bad
01:03:04.780 at critical
01:03:05.540 thinking are
01:03:07.060 going to
01:03:07.320 just start
01:03:07.780 asking their
01:03:08.460 phone.
01:03:11.560 Yesterday, I
01:03:12.500 wanted to
01:03:13.340 heat up some
01:03:14.700 water for
01:03:15.400 tea, and
01:03:17.540 I'd never
01:03:18.340 done that in
01:03:18.840 a microwave.
01:03:19.820 All of my
01:03:20.420 other ways to
01:03:20.960 make hot water
01:03:21.560 were broken.
01:03:22.800 That's another
01:03:23.260 story.
01:03:24.440 So, I have
01:03:25.100 at least several
01:03:25.740 ways to make
01:03:26.360 hot water.
01:03:26.980 They're all
01:03:27.420 broken.
01:03:28.640 I've got a
01:03:29.040 hot water
01:03:29.580 spout that's
01:03:31.020 full of
01:03:31.580 pollution.
01:03:32.400 It's just
01:03:32.820 bad news.
01:03:35.200 So, I
01:03:35.460 thought, how
01:03:35.880 long do I
01:03:36.600 microwave this?
01:03:38.580 So, I took
01:03:39.160 out ChatGPT
01:03:40.300 and put it
01:03:40.800 in video
01:03:42.100 mode, and
01:03:43.480 I just
01:03:43.840 made it
01:03:45.620 look at my
01:03:46.360 cup of
01:03:47.240 water, and
01:03:48.420 I said, how
01:03:48.860 long should I
01:03:49.320 microwave this?
01:03:50.040 It's like, well,
01:03:50.600 one to two
01:03:51.060 minutes.
01:03:51.500 Perfect.
01:03:52.880 So, there's
01:03:54.140 nothing I can't
01:03:54.880 figure out.
01:03:55.600 in like a
01:03:57.420 moment.
01:03:58.380 It was kind
01:03:59.260 of fun.
01:04:00.780 Anyway, according
01:04:01.700 to PC
01:04:02.860 Magazine, Will
01:04:03.640 McCurdy's
01:04:04.160 writing about
01:04:04.600 this, Open
01:04:05.580 AI says that
01:04:07.420 China could
01:04:09.440 compel the
01:04:10.180 deep-seek AI
01:04:11.160 that comes from
01:04:11.940 China to
01:04:12.420 cause harm.
01:04:13.840 And so, Open
01:04:14.760 AI says that
01:04:15.640 the Chinese AI
01:04:16.920 should be
01:04:17.520 banned.
01:04:18.040 Now, who's
01:04:20.120 surprised about
01:04:20.880 that?
01:04:22.300 Not me.
01:04:24.620 One of the
01:04:25.200 things I've been
01:04:25.700 telling you about
01:04:26.300 AI is that no
01:04:28.060 matter how good
01:04:28.780 it is, the
01:04:30.660 problem is going
01:04:31.320 to be that
01:04:31.700 humans are going
01:04:32.340 to try to ban
01:04:32.980 it for a number
01:04:33.640 of reasons.
01:04:35.140 So, this is
01:04:36.060 ChatGPT trying
01:04:37.180 to ban Chinese
01:04:38.560 AI, but it
01:04:41.240 seems to me
01:04:41.840 that there's
01:04:42.380 pressure against
01:04:43.180 OpenAI to,
01:04:45.060 you know, they've
01:04:45.480 got legal pressure,
01:04:46.380 there's going
01:04:47.140 to be the
01:04:47.460 copyright things.
01:04:49.700 It's lawyers.
01:04:51.320 Lawyers and
01:04:52.000 laws and humans
01:04:53.080 are just going
01:04:53.860 to be such an
01:04:55.680 impediment to
01:04:57.040 AI.
01:04:58.160 Makes you wonder
01:04:58.720 if AI can ever
01:04:59.580 get to the next
01:05:00.200 level, or else
01:05:01.880 we'd stop it.
01:05:03.200 We'd find some
01:05:04.140 reason.
01:05:04.640 It's like, oh,
01:05:05.100 it's too dangerous,
01:05:06.020 you have to stop.
01:05:07.260 Oh, it comes from
01:05:08.040 another country,
01:05:08.860 you better stop.
01:05:10.040 Now, I do agree
01:05:11.460 with banning the
01:05:12.280 Chinese AI, it
01:05:13.620 is too dangerous.
01:05:14.300 But, there's
01:05:16.540 going to be an
01:05:16.960 argument against
01:05:17.740 every AI.
01:05:19.680 You know, pretty
01:05:20.080 soon people are
01:05:20.800 going to say, oh,
01:05:21.380 this AI is biased.
01:05:23.680 It's misinformation.
01:05:25.820 So, you've got to
01:05:26.300 shut it down.
01:05:27.420 The pressure
01:05:28.160 against AI is
01:05:29.080 going to be just
01:05:30.140 through the roof.
01:05:32.100 Anyway, we'll see
01:05:33.080 if OpenAI wins
01:05:34.640 that.
01:05:35.360 There's a robot
01:05:36.400 factory being
01:05:37.440 built.
01:05:38.060 Interesting
01:05:38.460 engineers reporting
01:05:39.660 that.
01:05:40.000 So, there's
01:05:41.780 a U.S.
01:05:42.320 firm called
01:05:42.820 Figure that's
01:05:44.880 a robot
01:05:45.480 company, and
01:05:47.060 they're going to
01:05:47.440 build their
01:05:47.800 factory to
01:05:48.900 make 12,000
01:05:49.940 humanoid robots
01:05:51.080 per year, and
01:05:52.820 that's a
01:05:53.300 California-based
01:05:54.120 company.
01:05:55.680 But, they're
01:05:55.980 not putting
01:05:56.380 the, are
01:05:57.180 they putting
01:05:57.560 the, I
01:06:00.200 didn't see
01:06:00.580 that, but
01:06:01.080 they couldn't
01:06:02.400 possibly putting
01:06:03.300 the manufacturing
01:06:04.200 in California,
01:06:05.640 right?
01:06:06.780 It doesn't say
01:06:07.620 where the
01:06:07.940 manufacturing would
01:06:08.780 be, but
01:06:10.060 I'd be
01:06:10.540 amazed if
01:06:11.420 somebody built
01:06:12.020 manufacturing in
01:06:13.060 California.
01:06:14.680 That feels like
01:06:15.820 an unnecessary
01:06:16.560 risk.
01:06:17.880 So, it's a
01:06:18.280 California-based
01:06:18.920 company, but
01:06:19.700 I don't see
01:06:20.660 here where they
01:06:21.300 would put the
01:06:21.800 factory.
01:06:23.240 Anyway, I
01:06:24.040 wouldn't put it
01:06:24.460 in California.
01:06:27.420 Anyway, I
01:06:28.080 told you the
01:06:28.540 story about the
01:06:29.420 South African
01:06:31.340 scientists.
01:06:33.140 They're trapped
01:06:33.600 in a tiny
01:06:34.200 base in
01:06:34.660 Antarctica, and
01:06:36.580 apparently, because
01:06:38.020 of the extreme
01:06:39.020 weather, there
01:06:40.260 could be
01:06:40.880 months, up
01:06:42.300 to 10
01:06:42.680 months, before
01:06:43.620 the weather
01:06:44.100 would be good
01:06:44.640 enough for
01:06:45.060 anybody to
01:06:45.680 leave or
01:06:46.540 arrive.
01:06:48.180 And, they're
01:06:48.580 complaining because
01:06:49.560 there's one
01:06:51.340 researcher in
01:06:52.400 that group,
01:06:53.440 according to
01:06:53.860 the Daily
01:06:54.240 Mail, who
01:06:56.100 has been
01:06:56.740 threatening to
01:06:58.520 kill them and
01:06:59.620 sexually abuse
01:07:02.860 somebody.
01:07:03.320 they've got
01:07:05.140 basically some
01:07:06.200 kind of a
01:07:06.780 sexual criminal
01:07:07.800 who's threatening
01:07:08.600 to kill
01:07:09.060 people, and
01:07:10.040 they're trapped
01:07:10.580 in this little
01:07:11.240 building for
01:07:14.460 at least 10
01:07:15.020 more months,
01:07:15.700 and they're
01:07:15.980 sort of begging
01:07:16.820 for relief.
01:07:18.360 Now, I know
01:07:18.880 what you're
01:07:19.140 thinking.
01:07:19.860 I know what
01:07:20.680 you're thinking.
01:07:21.880 You're thinking,
01:07:23.020 can Elon Musk
01:07:24.340 rescue them,
01:07:25.540 right?
01:07:26.780 Well, he can't
01:07:27.780 do everything.
01:07:28.560 I don't think
01:07:29.880 he could land
01:07:30.480 a starship
01:07:31.520 there, but
01:07:32.140 it wouldn't
01:07:33.320 surprise me if
01:07:34.040 the boring
01:07:34.560 company is
01:07:35.160 already drilling
01:07:35.860 a hole from
01:07:36.520 America to
01:07:37.240 Antarctica to
01:07:38.000 get him out.
01:07:39.420 It wouldn't
01:07:40.080 surprise me.
01:07:40.780 I just don't
01:07:41.340 think it's
01:07:41.680 happening.
01:07:42.940 So, no,
01:07:43.620 Elon Musk
01:07:44.220 can't rescue
01:07:45.020 everybody.
01:07:46.640 Sometimes they're
01:07:47.360 going to have
01:07:47.600 to rescue
01:07:47.960 themselves.
01:07:49.020 Let's talk
01:07:49.640 about the
01:07:50.000 Hooties.
01:07:51.880 As you know,
01:07:52.680 the Hooties
01:07:53.200 were threatening
01:07:54.560 and have for
01:07:55.960 a long time
01:07:56.460 been threatening
01:07:57.140 shipping in
01:07:57.940 the Red
01:07:58.220 Sea.
01:07:59.100 Apparently,
01:07:59.780 I didn't
01:08:00.140 realize this,
01:08:00.840 but nearly
01:08:01.400 all the
01:08:02.100 shipping,
01:08:03.180 at least our
01:08:03.840 shipping,
01:08:04.760 and other
01:08:06.000 countries too,
01:08:07.080 nearly all of
01:08:07.800 it has been
01:08:08.460 avoiding the
01:08:09.000 Red Sea because
01:08:10.280 it's too
01:08:10.620 dangerous because
01:08:11.300 of the Hooties.
01:08:12.540 And they've
01:08:13.640 been going the
01:08:14.100 long way,
01:08:14.640 which is making
01:08:15.240 everything cost
01:08:16.760 a lot more and
01:08:17.620 take a lot
01:08:18.540 longer.
01:08:19.680 So, Trump
01:08:20.400 has decided
01:08:21.460 that this Iran
01:08:22.640 backed Hooties
01:08:23.520 that keep shooting
01:08:24.640 at the shipping
01:08:25.480 in the Red Sea,
01:08:26.800 their time has
01:08:27.720 come.
01:08:29.020 And National
01:08:29.740 Security Advisor
01:08:30.580 Mike Waltz,
01:08:31.600 he confirmed
01:08:32.360 that the U.S.
01:08:33.340 is making big
01:08:34.620 airstrikes and
01:08:35.580 took out multiple
01:08:36.460 Hootie leaders.
01:08:38.340 Now, taking out
01:08:39.300 their leaders, I
01:08:39.980 don't think it's
01:08:40.540 going to work
01:08:41.080 because they just
01:08:41.900 get new leaders.
01:08:43.680 And nearly
01:08:45.960 three-quarters of
01:08:46.940 shipping is now
01:08:47.660 diverted to get
01:08:49.920 out of that area.
01:08:51.120 Three-quarters.
01:08:52.700 And it's way
01:08:53.760 more expensive
01:08:54.440 if they have
01:08:55.000 to go around
01:08:55.620 the hard
01:08:56.280 way.
01:08:59.760 And then
01:09:00.400 Mike
01:09:00.740 Hegseth,
01:09:02.120 he said that
01:09:03.720 there's a
01:09:05.200 large-scale
01:09:05.840 strike campaign
01:09:06.880 going on
01:09:07.460 against the Hooties
01:09:08.220 and that it
01:09:09.200 will continue
01:09:09.780 and be,
01:09:10.640 quote,
01:09:10.780 unrelenting
01:09:11.500 until they
01:09:13.520 pledge to
01:09:14.980 back off
01:09:15.680 attacking U.S.
01:09:20.280 assets.
01:09:21.520 Now, here
01:09:22.740 again, you have
01:09:23.380 that problem
01:09:23.980 of what if
01:09:25.300 they do
01:09:25.620 promise it?
01:09:28.320 Would the
01:09:29.080 shipping return
01:09:30.000 just because
01:09:30.520 the Hooties
01:09:30.940 said, oh,
01:09:31.500 yeah, we'll
01:09:31.980 totally leave
01:09:32.760 your shipping
01:09:33.280 alone?
01:09:34.680 Because the
01:09:35.700 real problem
01:09:36.160 is the
01:09:36.500 insurance.
01:09:38.500 You would
01:09:39.160 have to get
01:09:39.680 the risk
01:09:40.340 down to
01:09:40.940 zero.
01:09:42.580 How could
01:09:43.280 you ever
01:09:43.600 get the
01:09:43.960 risk down
01:09:44.420 to zero?
01:09:45.800 Because even
01:09:46.680 if, like,
01:09:47.380 one in
01:09:47.980 20 ships
01:09:49.340 get attacked,
01:09:50.820 how are
01:09:51.480 any of them
01:09:52.080 going to get
01:09:52.500 insurance?
01:09:53.980 And they
01:09:54.340 need
01:09:54.580 insurance.
01:09:56.120 So you
01:09:58.080 can't half-ass
01:09:59.740 this thing.
01:10:01.120 You have to
01:10:02.120 completely destroy
01:10:03.540 the Hooties'
01:10:04.420 ability to do
01:10:05.220 it or
01:10:06.200 completely destroy
01:10:07.380 whoever is
01:10:08.860 funding them,
01:10:09.880 Iran in this
01:10:10.600 case.
01:10:11.640 You have to
01:10:12.520 get them to
01:10:13.280 change their
01:10:13.740 mind.
01:10:14.940 But even if
01:10:15.520 they change
01:10:16.000 their mind,
01:10:16.540 they could
01:10:16.880 change it
01:10:17.640 back.
01:10:18.800 You know,
01:10:18.960 it's the same
01:10:19.400 problem.
01:10:20.280 If they
01:10:20.620 promised,
01:10:21.620 oh, we
01:10:22.740 promise,
01:10:23.320 yeah, we
01:10:24.900 won't attack
01:10:25.740 your ships.
01:10:27.460 And then
01:10:28.140 a few ships
01:10:29.960 come back.
01:10:30.620 They only
01:10:31.020 have to
01:10:31.380 attack one.
01:10:32.920 And then
01:10:33.280 the whole
01:10:33.640 thing falls
01:10:34.200 apart.
01:10:35.700 So how
01:10:38.800 much do
01:10:39.380 you have to
01:10:39.920 kill before
01:10:41.960 you can
01:10:42.540 guarantee that
01:10:43.480 it will be
01:10:44.260 economical for
01:10:45.260 ships to
01:10:45.800 use that
01:10:46.220 place again?
01:10:46.820 like you
01:10:48.400 either have
01:10:48.880 to wipe
01:10:49.300 out everything
01:10:50.660 in that
01:10:51.120 area,
01:10:52.520 man,
01:10:53.000 woman,
01:10:53.300 and child.
01:10:54.240 I'm not
01:10:54.860 recommending
01:10:55.360 that.
01:10:55.860 I'm just
01:10:56.120 saying if
01:10:57.000 you wanted
01:10:57.300 to fix
01:10:57.760 it,
01:10:58.440 you would
01:10:59.120 have to
01:10:59.400 actually just
01:11:00.020 depopulate
01:11:00.740 the place
01:11:01.300 because they're
01:11:02.900 they don't
01:11:04.560 seem to be
01:11:05.400 afraid of
01:11:06.000 anything.
01:11:06.720 And there
01:11:07.340 always seems
01:11:07.800 to be a
01:11:08.180 replacement
01:11:08.640 willing to
01:11:09.260 take over.
01:11:10.200 And there's
01:11:10.840 always going to
01:11:11.220 be a new
01:11:11.600 leader and
01:11:12.660 Iran will
01:11:13.240 still be
01:11:13.720 funding them.
01:11:14.260 So anything
01:11:16.860 short of a
01:11:19.260 kind of
01:11:19.620 brutality that
01:11:20.600 we've never
01:11:21.100 seen before
01:11:21.920 couldn't
01:11:23.160 possibly make
01:11:23.840 a difference.
01:11:25.160 So we'll
01:11:26.240 see if this
01:11:27.160 gets us
01:11:27.580 anything.
01:11:29.480 I'm highly
01:11:30.520 skeptical that
01:11:31.440 it can be
01:11:32.120 solved without
01:11:33.060 doing something
01:11:34.480 that would be
01:11:35.660 so unconscionable
01:11:37.040 to American
01:11:38.060 minds that
01:11:40.160 doing it
01:11:40.720 would be
01:11:41.020 going too
01:11:41.520 far.
01:11:41.860 I don't
01:11:44.200 know.
01:11:45.340 You know,
01:11:45.640 if the
01:11:46.340 real lever
01:11:46.860 is Iran,
01:11:48.540 then maybe
01:11:49.000 there's
01:11:49.800 something to
01:11:50.260 work with.
01:11:51.960 But I
01:11:52.700 don't know.
01:11:53.600 You have to
01:11:54.220 get the
01:11:54.520 risk down
01:11:55.040 to zero
01:11:55.540 or it
01:11:56.480 just doesn't
01:11:56.920 even matter.
01:11:57.940 You know,
01:11:58.300 if the
01:11:58.880 risk is
01:11:59.340 5%,
01:12:00.160 you know,
01:12:01.040 down from
01:12:01.500 100%
01:12:02.220 getting attacked
01:12:03.100 down to
01:12:03.500 5%,
01:12:04.120 I don't
01:12:05.220 think that
01:12:05.640 changes the
01:12:06.320 insurance
01:12:06.720 situation at
01:12:07.480 all.
01:12:08.360 Because 5%
01:12:10.220 is way
01:12:10.820 too much
01:12:11.380 of a
01:12:11.640 risk.
01:12:12.040 Way too
01:12:12.380 much.
01:12:12.720 It's not
01:12:12.960 even close.
01:12:14.380 So we'll
01:12:15.120 see.
01:12:15.760 Anyway,
01:12:16.140 that's what I
01:12:16.540 got for you
01:12:16.940 today.
01:12:18.080 I'm going to
01:12:18.760 say a few
01:12:19.420 words privately
01:12:20.160 to the
01:12:20.780 local
01:12:21.340 subscribers.
01:12:22.540 But for the
01:12:23.000 rest of you,
01:12:23.700 thanks for
01:12:24.120 joining.
01:12:24.980 Happy St.
01:12:26.060 Patrick's
01:12:26.560 Day.
01:12:27.800 So I'll
01:12:28.600 say goodbye
01:12:29.020 to YouTube
01:12:29.680 and Rumble
01:12:30.280 and X
01:12:31.120 and locals.
01:12:32.280 I'm coming
01:12:32.680 at you in
01:12:33.160 30 seconds
01:12:34.000 privately.
