Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2807 CWSA 04⧸12⧸25

00:00:00.000 Coffee with Scott Adams, you've never had a better time, but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass or a tank or chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:00:18.380 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:19.760 I like coffee.

00:00:21.400 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:26.900 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it's going to happen now.

00:00:35.840 So good.

00:00:38.460 That was a little extra good.

00:00:42.140 All right.

00:00:42.980 Today after the show, because it's Saturday, there will be an after party.

00:00:48.920 Owen Gregorian will be hosting that on Spaces, the audio-only service on the X platform.

00:00:56.240 So just look for Owen Gregorian, or you can look for my X account, and it has a repost there.

00:01:04.920 But make sure you watch it, the after party, right after the show.

00:01:10.400 All right.

00:01:10.700 So I wonder if there's any science that could have been skipped if they had just asked me instead.

00:01:17.960 Oh, yeah, there is.

00:01:19.300 According to SciPost, agnostics are more indecisive, neurotic, and prone to maximizing choices. 1.00

00:01:28.660 So agnostics are less decisive than atheists and Christians.

00:01:33.520 You know how they could have come to that same conclusion, spending a lot less money and taking a lot less time?

00:01:44.120 Just ask me, hey, do you think agnostics are as certain as atheists and Christians?

00:01:50.520 And I would say, probably not.

00:01:53.300 Do you think they can rapidly order at the Cheesecake Factory?

00:01:57.660 I would say, probably not.

00:02:02.140 Probably not.

00:02:02.840 You don't need to study that one.

00:02:04.880 So next time, ask me.

00:02:07.100 ChatGPT has a very big upgrade, which is scary, but oh so useful.

00:02:15.940 So you decide how much fear you want.

00:02:18.260 But Ars Technica is reporting on it.

00:02:20.040 Samuel Laxon, that now ChatGPT will be able to remember, if you set it to do that, you have the option of turning it off.

00:02:29.880 It will remember all of your prior conversations.

00:02:34.800 So if you were asking ChatGPT about a certain topic months ago, and then you wanted to follow up, you wouldn't have to re-explain everything again.

00:02:46.860 You would already know, oh, this person already asked me these questions, so I don't need to answer the same stuff again.

00:02:54.460 I'll just add this new thing that they asked me about.

00:02:57.480 So how much more useful that will become is a lot.

00:03:03.520 That's a pretty big advancement.

00:03:07.060 I can't, it's hard to imagine they can store all that, but they got a lot of data centers.

00:03:12.500 So that's coming.

00:03:13.440 Well, Trump had his physical.

00:03:17.080 We don't have the results yet.

00:03:20.440 But I did a comic yesterday called Robots Read News.

00:03:25.400 Those of you on Locals get to see it only.

00:03:28.080 And Robots Read News is literally a robot and a sex doll who do the news.

00:03:33.840 And I'm going to compare what Trump said himself about the results, the results of his medical exam.

00:03:45.160 And then I'm going to compare it to the joke version that I wrote before Trump spoke about it.

00:03:53.640 And I want you to see if I captured the vibe of it approximately correct.

00:03:58.680 All right.

00:03:59.220 So here's what Trump said.

00:04:00.780 The doctor hasn't said anything yet.

00:04:02.560 But Trump said, overall, I felt I was in very good shape.

00:04:06.240 A good heart.

00:04:07.360 A good soul.

00:04:08.480 Very good soul.

00:04:13.500 A very good soul.

00:04:15.400 Well, which medical test tested his soul?

00:04:20.720 It looks like your soul is doing great, Mr. President.

00:04:24.280 You're at 100% in the soul.

00:04:30.240 No one in the world would have said that.

00:04:32.960 He's the only human being who would have said he went to a medical examination.

00:04:38.260 And he had a good heart and a good soul, a very good soul.

00:04:43.260 And then he says, I took, I wanted to be a little different than Biden.

00:04:47.580 I took a cognitive test.

00:04:49.760 I don't know what to tell you other than I got every answer right.

00:04:59.400 Okay.

00:05:00.240 Now, that's what he actually said.

00:05:02.080 Now, here's what the comic version said when the robot in my comic strip, Robots Read News, was reporting on the same event.

00:05:13.260 So the robot reading the news, he was quoting the doctor.

00:05:18.300 The doctor hasn't actually spoken yet, but it's a fake quote of the doctor.

00:05:23.680 Quote, the son that Trump is essentially immortal and slightly smarter than Einstein.

00:05:30.240 His testicles are like bowling balls and his ear grew back better.

00:05:36.500 Now, don't you think I captured the vibe?

00:05:40.380 His ear grew back better.

00:05:46.480 There's no way you can report his medical examination straightforward.

00:05:52.220 It just has to be funny because you know the real one's going to be hilarious.

00:05:56.140 Whatever it is the doctor says is going to be, you know, it's going to have to be approved by Trump.

00:06:02.920 So it's going to be classic, whatever it is.

00:06:07.380 Oh, anyway, let's talk about some news.

00:06:09.980 So Trump signed the executive order.

00:06:12.480 I guess he's going to end federal funding for sanctuary cities.

00:06:16.940 So if you're a sanctuary city, basically you're shit out of luck for federal funding.

00:06:24.060 And he is serious about this whole, about closing the border and shipping people back.

00:06:31.520 He's really serious.

00:06:33.260 In case you wondered, is he just joking?

00:06:35.900 No, no, he's completely serious.

00:06:38.940 So sanctuary cities, you could have a little trouble.

00:06:43.140 That would include Seattle, Chicago, Denver, Boston, New York, Los Angeles, and others.

00:06:50.260 So we'll see if they bow to that.

00:06:53.880 Meanwhile, if you didn't think that was tough enough, according to the Gateway Pundit,

00:07:00.020 do you remember Alina Haber, who was one of Trump's attorneys?

00:07:04.080 Well, she's now the U.S. attorney of New Jersey.

00:07:10.160 So she's a U.S. attorney there, and she's opening a criminal probe into the governor of New Jersey

00:07:16.060 for obstructing ICE.

00:07:19.100 So apparently the governor said they wouldn't cooperate with ICE trying to deport people.

00:07:24.420 So that would be obstruction with the federal government's law enforcement.

00:07:29.020 So Alina Haber is going to do a criminal probe into the governor. 1.00

00:07:34.080 For saying no to the federal government.

00:07:38.960 Now that's pretty serious.

00:07:40.780 That's pretty serious.

00:07:43.460 Meanwhile, Doge has inserted itself so that there's some kind of federal grant website I've never heard of.

00:07:52.560 Grants.gov.

00:07:53.680 But apparently this website is sort of the central clearing place for $500 billion a year in awards for, let's see,

00:08:06.740 the grants are for, what are they for?

00:08:11.320 Grants.

00:08:12.240 They're a bunch of grants.

00:08:13.360 So I guess there's a lot of different grants for a lot of different things.

00:08:19.220 But Doge is going to make sure that any of those grants get looked at by Doge.

00:08:26.140 So all the crazy stuff, like a million dollars to find clothing for squirrels.

00:08:32.920 I made that one up, but it could have been real.

00:08:37.040 Or $20 million to turn insects gay. 0.98

00:08:42.880 I made that one up too, but they sound kind of real, don't they?

00:08:48.600 All right.

00:08:49.400 So that's happening.

00:08:51.100 CNN, I was watching CNN yesterday after the market closed.

00:08:58.220 It was in the afternoon.

00:08:59.820 And it was hilarious because it looked like they wrote their entire opening monologue, the host,

00:09:08.340 before they saw the market closed up.

00:09:11.720 So what they had already written was the market is full of volatility and uncertainty,

00:09:17.300 and there's chaos and volatility and the volatility and the uncertainty.

00:09:22.900 But what had actually happened was that the market closed up.

00:09:30.060 The actual news should have been, well, it looks like the market has adjusted to

00:09:35.900 whatever volatility and uncertainty there is,

00:09:39.200 or it looks like the market understands now what Trump's trying to accomplish

00:09:43.720 and can see that, you know, there would be a light at the end of the tunnel.

00:09:48.100 So the market is a little more confident.

00:09:51.100 So it ended up.

00:09:53.260 But instead, they had already readied this whole, there's so much uncertainty.

00:09:58.480 So they had to not mention the actual close of the market

00:10:03.220 until they'd really loaded on the uncertainty.

00:10:05.900 And I'm thinking to myself, if the market goes up,

00:10:10.500 like a nice little, it was a nice little gain, actually, at the end of the week.

00:10:15.680 I don't know.

00:10:16.540 I don't think you can sell the uncertainty message as well.

00:11:20.360 So, here's a little lesson on public communication.

00:11:28.000 If you're ever a financial expert and somebody asks you, you know,

00:11:32.080 what's going to happen with the economy,

00:11:33.640 and you want to sound like you're an expert so that you really said something,

00:11:38.340 but you don't want to say anything,

00:11:41.380 then copy Larry Fink of BlackRock.

00:11:44.120 So, he was asked about the, you know, the economy.

00:11:48.480 Where's the economy going?

00:11:50.020 And he's like one of the top money guys in the whole country, in the world, really.

00:11:54.500 So, I mean, he's somebody who should really know.

00:11:57.680 I mean, if you listen to Larry Fink, he should know,

00:12:00.000 is it going up?

00:12:00.740 Is it going down?

00:12:01.920 Here's what Larry Fink says.

00:12:03.820 The U.S. is very close to a recession.

00:12:05.880 You magnificent weasel.

00:12:11.760 Very close to a recession.

00:12:13.720 So, let me get this right.

00:12:15.680 If we have a recession, Larry Fink can say,

00:12:19.520 I told you we were very close to it.

00:12:21.660 I mean, I guess I nailed it.

00:12:23.520 I said we were very close to it, and then here we are, sure enough.

00:12:27.800 But if we don't have a recession, you can later say,

00:12:31.380 well, we sure were close.

00:12:33.460 It's a completely unverifiable claim that we're very close.

00:12:42.120 And the fact that he added very to close, you don't need the very.

00:12:47.580 That's just like acting like you know something.

00:12:50.920 So, if anybody asks you how the economy is going to go,

00:12:53.720 just say, just shake your head and say,

00:12:56.560 I think we're very close to a recession.

00:12:59.180 Very close.

00:13:00.740 And then later, when somebody checks on you, you go,

00:13:03.460 I didn't say we'd have a recession.

00:13:06.440 I said we were very close.

00:13:08.200 Thank goodness we didn't.

00:13:10.200 Yeah, you could win either way.

00:13:13.380 Well, according to the Financial Times, they've got some data.

00:13:17.600 John Byrne Murdoch is writing about this,

00:13:20.480 that the Europeans have canceled a ton of travel to the United States.

00:13:26.420 So, let's see if you can find out what's wrong with this story.

00:13:31.760 All right?

00:13:32.680 So, I only saw the posts.

00:13:35.760 There was a thread on it with graphs and stuff.

00:13:38.920 So, the thread said that the number of people traveling from Europe to the U.S.

00:13:44.360 in recent weeks has plummeted by as much as 35%.

00:13:48.920 And travelers have canceled plans in response to Trump's policies and rhetoric and horror stories from the border.

00:13:59.840 Now, here's my first question.

00:14:05.980 Remember I taught you that if somebody gives you the percentage without the raw numbers,

00:14:11.380 or they give you the raw numbers without the percentages,

00:14:15.120 that that's not news.

00:14:16.580 That's propaganda.

00:14:18.800 This is percentages without raw numbers.

00:14:21.860 The second question I would ask is,

00:14:29.040 how much of this is Easter related?

00:14:33.180 And would there normally be an uptick in travel from Europe around Easter?

00:14:38.760 Or would people more likely want to stay home

00:14:41.620 because they might want to celebrate Easter at home?

00:14:46.740 I don't know.

00:14:47.920 So, I wonder about that.

00:14:49.380 I also wonder, has travel from the U.S. to Europe gone down?

00:14:55.460 And then I wonder, how many people are involved?

00:14:58.880 For example, how many people were coming from Austria to the United States?

00:15:04.200 What would be the baseline?

00:15:06.340 Because I've lived in the United States my entire life.

00:15:10.200 I've never met an Austrian who was on vacation.

00:15:14.840 I've never met one.

00:15:16.300 Or they said that Denmark really fell off.

00:15:20.620 I have never met anybody from Denmark who was on vacation.

00:15:24.520 It can't be that many people.

00:15:26.780 Now, I have met Germans and people from the U.K.

00:15:32.360 So, they definitely go on vacation.

00:15:34.880 But all these little countries that I've never even met a single person

00:15:38.220 who's been on vacation from those places,

00:15:40.780 do we really care?

00:15:42.380 And does it matter?

00:15:43.140 Here's the story they're trying to tell, the bad guys,

00:15:49.300 is that Trump has ruined the United States brand for a generation.

00:15:55.980 Do you believe that?

00:15:58.500 No.

00:16:00.820 The minute people are happy with the United States,

00:16:04.780 either because Trump's out of office

00:16:06.440 or because they like the job he's done,

00:16:09.140 they'll just come back.

00:16:10.260 There's no such thing as judging another country by its brand.

00:16:16.460 There's only what's happening right now

00:16:18.340 and how do you feel right now.

00:16:19.980 At the moment, I wouldn't go near Great Britain.

00:16:24.520 I wouldn't go near it.

00:16:27.740 Actually, I wouldn't go to Europe at all.

00:16:29.460 But I could easily see that changing.

00:16:34.400 You know, if the conditions that make Europe seem unpalatable at the moment,

00:16:38.920 if they were to change,

00:16:40.560 I'd say, oh, different conditions?

00:16:42.920 Maybe yes.

00:16:44.900 So, I don't know how much of a story that is.

00:16:48.120 But I would note that the big complaint that Democrats have about Trump and about Musk

00:16:58.300 is that they're in it for themselves.

00:17:01.780 If you were Trump and you owned hotels around the world,

00:17:07.140 but a lot of them in the U.S.,

00:17:09.320 do you think that you would be happy that you would decrease European tourism?

00:17:16.020 Probably not.

00:17:17.080 It's probably expensive for Trump.

00:17:19.340 So, can we dispense with the Trump's only in it for the money?

00:17:24.760 I don't think he would be tariffing and pissing off the people who are probably,

00:17:31.720 you know, maybe 20% or a third of all of his customers at his hotels

00:17:36.780 if he was in it for the money.

00:17:39.420 If he were in it for the money, he wouldn't tariff anybody.

00:17:43.100 He'd just try to be friends with everybody like everybody else does.

00:17:47.040 So, clearly, Trump is in it to fix actual problems in the real world.

00:17:51.420 So, I keep telling you that the complaints about Trump and about Musk are imaginary,

00:17:58.280 but it's really hilarious when you see them all together.

00:18:03.380 So, just compare this.

00:18:05.680 So, the Republicans' biggest things they're working on

00:18:09.180 are things like closing the border.

00:18:12.660 The border's a real thing, and it was really open,

00:18:15.820 and it was really a problem.

00:18:17.300 It's a real thing.

00:18:18.000 And Trump's done a good job of closing it.

00:18:22.100 Then there's the spending problem.

00:18:25.060 That's very real, the most real thing ever,

00:18:28.200 and Doge is working on reducing it.

00:18:30.840 There's the tariffs,

00:18:32.540 which no matter what you think about his strategy for the tariffs,

00:18:36.800 tariffs are a real thing,

00:18:38.640 and we really do have bad trade agreements.

00:18:41.680 They should be a lot better.

00:18:42.860 So, pretty much, you could go down the line.

00:18:46.160 Everything that Trump is working on,

00:18:47.840 everything that Musk is working on,

00:18:49.740 are real, legitimate problems,

00:18:51.980 and nobody would argue otherwise.

00:18:53.940 You know, nobody would say,

00:18:55.260 well, the border's imaginary.

00:18:58.200 Nobody's going to say that.

00:19:00.100 But now, look at the problems

00:19:02.780 that the Democrats are putting forward

00:19:05.680 as the main thing they're working on.

00:19:07.760 That black people and divorced women 1.00

00:19:10.460 don't know how to get IDs to vote.

00:19:14.600 I'm going to assign that

00:19:16.020 to the Department of Imaginary Concerns,

00:19:19.180 unless we can meet at least one black person,

00:19:22.320 or at least one woman,

00:19:25.120 who can't figure out how to get an ID to vote.

00:19:27.240 How about the chaos will lead to something

00:19:31.620 that we can't imagine, and it's bad?

00:19:34.280 Well, that's literally imaginary.

00:19:36.800 Chaos is a word designed to scare senior citizens.

00:19:41.140 So, basically, the Democrats are running

00:19:43.380 a long-term scam on seniors.

00:19:47.220 If they can get the seniors to be afraid 0.98

00:19:49.620 of Elon Musk and Doge,

00:19:51.640 they can continue ripping off seniors

00:19:53.960 and everybody else

00:19:54.960 by putting their tax money into NGOs

00:19:57.900 that eventually return the money

00:19:59.700 to the spouses of the same Democrats,

00:20:02.700 you know, once we figured out the trick.

00:20:05.380 So, that's basically just a scam

00:20:09.280 that they're running on seniors.

00:20:12.340 Then there's a,

00:20:13.260 Musk will steal your secret, 1.00

00:20:15.040 your social security numbers

00:20:18.460 and give them to people.

00:20:20.140 That's as imaginary as you could come up with.

00:20:26.220 Like, why would he even think of that?

00:20:28.000 Like, why would that even be a thing?

00:20:30.100 So, again,

00:20:30.940 that's just to scare senior citizens 1.00

00:20:33.140 because the Democrats are running

00:20:35.100 a long-term scam on seniors.

00:20:39.600 Claudia was leaving for her pickleball tournament.

00:20:41.760 I've been visualizing my match all week.

00:20:44.560 She was so focused on visualizing

00:20:46.160 that she didn't see the column behind her car

00:20:48.200 on her backhand side.

00:20:50.780 Good thing Claudia's with Intact,

00:20:52.400 the insurer with the largest network

00:20:54.080 of auto service centers in the country.

00:20:56.160 Everything was taken care of under one roof

00:20:58.100 and she was on her way in a rental car in no time.

00:21:00.600 I made it to my tournament

00:21:01.940 and lost in the first round.

00:21:04.100 But you got there on time.

00:21:05.940 Intact Insurance,

00:21:07.100 your auto service ace.

00:21:08.560 Certain conditions apply.

00:21:10.140 There was a town hall

00:21:11.960 in which one of the members asked this question.

00:21:15.220 it was on CNN.

00:21:18.220 It said,

00:21:18.700 the question was being asked

00:21:20.240 to some Republican candidate,

00:21:23.340 what are you doing to control Elon Musk?

00:21:26.100 He was not elected by the voters

00:21:27.860 and is running completely unchecked.

00:21:30.440 He was not elected by the voters,

00:21:33.100 puts them in the same category

00:21:34.520 as nearly everybody working for the government.

00:21:38.300 That's not a real problem.

00:21:40.800 The not elected by the people

00:21:42.440 means nothing

00:21:44.140 because most of everything

00:21:48.300 that gets done in the government

00:21:49.660 is done by people who are not elected.

00:21:52.940 What kind of a complaint is that?

00:21:54.820 It's literally a made-up complaint

00:21:56.360 that you assume that

00:21:57.940 the people paying no attention to the news

00:22:02.000 think is somehow important.

00:22:04.780 It's not.

00:22:06.920 Plus, you know,

00:22:07.960 Musk won't be there forever. 0.92

00:22:09.080 And that he's running completely unchecked.

00:22:13.180 Is that real?

00:22:15.560 My understanding is that

00:22:17.320 the department heads,

00:22:18.940 the cabinet heads,

00:22:19.900 have the final say on any cuts.

00:22:23.760 That's the opposite of unchecked.

00:22:26.320 It's literally the opposite of the news

00:22:28.400 that everybody is aware of.

00:22:30.580 So that's imaginary.

00:22:32.820 We'll assign that to the

00:22:34.500 Department of Imaginary Concerns.

00:22:37.000 And then there was a complaint

00:22:40.340 that Musk's actions

00:22:43.060 were bad

00:22:45.660 and his treatment of federal workers is bad.

00:22:48.960 Well, what would those actions be?

00:22:51.460 And what exactly is he doing

00:22:52.920 to federal workers

00:22:54.040 that they're supposed to like

00:22:56.300 when they're being downsized?

00:22:58.480 There's no such thing

00:22:59.820 as employees being downsized

00:23:01.540 who are happy about it

00:23:02.540 who think it happened the right way.

00:23:04.600 You know, nobody ever gets fired

00:23:06.700 and says,

00:23:07.980 you know, I don't like getting fired,

00:23:09.980 but I have to admit,

00:23:11.400 the way they did it,

00:23:13.240 very good.

00:23:14.880 They just handled it right.

00:23:17.820 Nobody says that.

00:23:19.280 These are completely

00:23:20.360 imaginary concerns.

00:23:25.040 Rachel Maddow

00:23:26.240 was warning people

00:23:29.620 that Musk might share

00:23:31.880 their tax information.

00:23:32.600 and that would be very illegal.

00:23:36.260 Okay.

00:23:37.080 That would be kind of illegal,

00:23:38.900 but why exactly

00:23:40.580 would he be sharing

00:23:41.600 anybody's tax information?

00:23:44.460 That's completely imaginary.

00:23:46.840 That's the best

00:23:47.720 they could come up with?

00:23:49.060 He's going to share

00:23:49.960 your tax information?

00:23:52.260 Okay.

00:23:53.940 The other thing is that

00:23:55.480 Musk and Trump

00:23:58.700 are going to take away

00:23:59.560 your health care

00:24:00.300 based on nothing.

00:24:04.040 They're doing the only thing

00:24:05.340 you could do

00:24:05.860 to maybe protect it,

00:24:07.180 which is to get

00:24:07.940 the debt under control.

00:24:09.680 So,

00:24:10.360 opposite.

00:24:11.600 Imaginary.

00:24:13.420 Trump's going to become

00:24:14.500 a fascist.

00:24:16.220 All imaginary.

00:24:18.520 He's going to take away

00:24:19.620 women's rights

00:24:20.360 and gay rights.

00:24:21.200 They stopped saying that

00:24:22.120 because it's so dumb, 0.61

00:24:23.020 but that was imaginary.

00:24:23.960 And the only thing

00:24:26.700 that Democrats have

00:24:27.700 that's real,

00:24:29.180 that's like a real issue

00:24:30.360 that they can look to,

00:24:31.820 is that the Republicans

00:24:33.980 are looking to get rid of

00:24:35.800 trans men

00:24:37.140 in women's sports.

00:24:40.040 Now,

00:24:40.600 what's funny about that

00:24:41.760 is that the only real issue

00:24:44.100 they have,

00:24:45.420 because that's really happening,

00:24:47.220 there really are

00:24:48.240 trans

00:24:49.320 in women's sports

00:24:51.300 and they really are

00:24:53.020 being banned

00:24:53.740 by Trump's administration.

00:24:56.020 But the funny part is

00:24:57.080 that the issue itself

00:24:58.740 is people imagining

00:24:59.900 something that's not real.

00:25:02.140 They're imagining

00:25:03.080 that they're another gender 0.99

00:25:04.220 or another sex.

00:25:06.720 Now,

00:25:07.160 you could argue

00:25:07.740 whether they're imagining it

00:25:09.000 or not,

00:25:09.680 but it's funny

00:25:11.360 that that's the exception,

00:25:13.060 that the exception

00:25:13.840 is based on

00:25:14.820 what most of you

00:25:16.300 would say

00:25:16.860 is people just imagining

00:25:19.040 something that's not real,

00:25:20.620 that their sex 0.52

00:25:21.920 is something different

00:25:22.780 than it is.

00:25:24.380 Okay.

00:25:26.920 According to the New York Times,

00:25:29.340 the Democrats'

00:25:31.460 greatest leader,

00:25:32.360 Kamala Harris,

00:25:33.660 is contemplating

00:25:35.840 all of her future

00:25:37.400 possible moves.

00:25:38.920 But one of the things

00:25:39.780 she's thinking about,

00:25:40.720 and I don't think

00:25:43.600 this would be funny

00:25:44.500 if it came from anybody else,

00:25:46.040 but she's considering

00:25:47.560 an institute

00:25:48.640 for policy and ideas.

00:25:52.280 It would be

00:25:53.120 the world's

00:25:54.600 smallest institute

00:25:55.620 because they don't

00:25:56.460 have any policies

00:25:57.280 and they don't

00:25:57.820 have any ideas.

00:25:59.260 I think you could fit

00:26:00.520 the entire thing

00:26:01.240 in a phone booth.

00:26:02.520 It's like,

00:26:03.120 oh,

00:26:03.900 where's your building,

00:26:05.300 the institute

00:26:05.980 for policies and ideas?

00:26:07.580 Well,

00:26:08.540 you see that shed

00:26:09.420 over there?

00:26:10.840 Yes,

00:26:11.520 it's in that shed.

00:26:14.660 What else

00:26:15.420 is in the shed?

00:26:16.060 Well,

00:26:16.440 lawnmowers and tools

00:26:17.400 and stuff.

00:26:17.880 We didn't need

00:26:18.360 the entire shed.

00:26:19.740 We just needed

00:26:20.400 a little corner

00:26:20.980 of the shed.

00:26:22.240 So that's funny.

00:26:25.160 Apparently,

00:26:25.740 there's another

00:26:27.360 wannabe potential

00:26:29.240 Trump assassin

00:26:30.200 who was caught

00:26:31.240 in Butler,

00:26:33.040 Pennsylvania.

00:26:34.200 What the hell

00:26:34.940 is wrong

00:26:35.380 with Butler,

00:26:36.040 Pennsylvania

00:26:36.520 that is producing

00:26:37.520 wannabe assassins?

00:26:41.460 So this particular

00:26:43.200 wannabe assassin

00:26:44.060 doesn't sound like

00:26:44.980 he was very well

00:26:45.720 trained by anybody

00:26:47.720 because he had

00:26:49.180 been bragging

00:26:50.080 online his plans

00:26:51.420 to kill Trump

00:26:53.740 and Elon Musk

00:26:54.580 and other U.S.

00:26:55.360 officials.

00:26:55.720 and he reportedly

00:26:57.100 purchased firearms

00:26:58.980 after Trump

00:27:00.160 took office.

00:27:01.540 Now,

00:27:01.880 I'm assuming

00:27:02.400 that this one

00:27:03.040 is not being

00:27:03.620 backed by any

00:27:04.520 intelligence groups

00:27:06.340 from our country

00:27:07.340 or anywhere else

00:27:08.140 because he seems

00:27:09.620 a little

00:27:10.120 uncontrollable,

00:27:12.560 maybe a little

00:27:13.500 bit crazy

00:27:14.120 or maybe

00:27:15.500 just watches

00:27:16.240 MSNBC.

00:27:17.320 It'd be the same

00:27:18.000 thing.

00:27:18.240 So here's my

00:27:21.380 here's my

00:27:22.820 strategic

00:27:23.560 evaluation

00:27:24.260 of the

00:27:25.300 Democrat

00:27:26.400 process.

00:27:28.000 So they've

00:27:29.120 they've decided

00:27:30.420 that they're

00:27:30.900 going to push

00:27:31.260 this chaos

00:27:32.060 thing.

00:27:33.760 You know,

00:27:34.700 chaos,

00:27:35.240 chaos,

00:27:35.660 chaos.

00:27:36.480 At the same

00:27:37.280 time,

00:27:38.140 they're backing

00:27:39.260 the protests

00:27:40.860 against Tesla,

00:27:42.440 which are

00:27:43.800 chaos.

00:27:45.260 So they're

00:27:46.340 literally paying

00:27:47.120 people to

00:27:47.740 create chaos

00:27:48.220 on the streets

00:27:49.320 while they're

00:27:50.340 complaining about

00:27:51.080 all the chaos.

00:27:52.900 That's the

00:27:53.780 dumbest strategy

00:27:55.040 I've ever seen.

00:27:56.700 But the

00:27:57.560 Republicans haven't

00:27:58.380 really called it

00:27:59.040 out.

00:27:59.800 Every time chaos

00:28:01.060 comes up,

00:28:01.660 they should say,

00:28:02.420 you're literally

00:28:03.640 paying for riots

00:28:04.800 on our streets.

00:28:06.180 You're literally

00:28:07.380 organizing them,

00:28:09.440 you know,

00:28:10.260 under the banner

00:28:10.960 of Democrats,

00:28:11.820 basically.

00:28:12.600 So you can't

00:28:13.740 get any more

00:28:14.580 chaos than

00:28:15.960 trying to

00:28:16.420 overthrow the

00:28:17.220 current country

00:28:17.720 making it

00:28:19.680 too dangerous

00:28:20.220 to go outside,

00:28:22.100 filling the

00:28:23.020 world with

00:28:23.480 fake news,

00:28:24.860 and then

00:28:25.280 trying to

00:28:25.740 take down

00:28:26.180 one of the

00:28:26.600 biggest,

00:28:27.040 most important

00:28:27.880 companies in

00:28:28.960 the United

00:28:29.340 States.

00:28:30.540 That's a lot

00:28:31.320 of chaos.

00:28:32.660 But here's

00:28:34.280 my real point.

00:28:36.460 What happens

00:28:37.340 when Elon Musk

00:28:38.260 is done with

00:28:39.060 his 130 days?

00:28:41.160 And he just

00:28:41.960 says,

00:28:42.460 I've done

00:28:42.860 what I can

00:28:43.340 do.

00:28:43.660 take a look

00:28:44.980 at all our

00:28:45.420 work.

00:28:46.420 From now

00:28:46.880 on,

00:28:47.340 there'll be

00:28:48.760 a team

00:28:49.280 that's left

00:28:49.820 there,

00:28:50.220 but I won't

00:28:50.660 be running

00:28:51.100 it because

00:28:51.800 my term

00:28:53.660 came to an

00:28:54.220 end.

00:28:55.180 And we're

00:28:55.620 going to

00:28:55.760 put it in

00:28:56.140 somebody you

00:28:56.560 never heard

00:28:57.040 of,

00:28:57.400 but really

00:28:57.880 good.

00:28:58.620 You know,

00:28:58.820 somebody who

00:28:59.260 was a

00:29:00.140 successful

00:29:00.540 entrepreneur

00:29:01.040 somewhere,

00:29:01.600 let's say.

00:29:02.680 And they

00:29:05.000 won't be

00:29:05.420 nearly the

00:29:06.300 magnet for

00:29:07.660 attention,

00:29:08.120 as Musk

00:29:09.760 was.

00:29:10.740 So what

00:29:11.360 happens if

00:29:11.860 Musk gives 0.98

00:29:12.840 the Democrats

00:29:13.540 what they

00:29:13.960 asked for?

00:29:16.100 What they

00:29:16.720 ask for is

00:29:17.820 for him to

00:29:18.280 not be on

00:29:18.780 the job.

00:29:20.300 And they're

00:29:20.900 going to

00:29:21.140 get it.

00:29:22.820 Now,

00:29:23.300 that doesn't

00:29:23.740 mean he's

00:29:24.060 going to

00:29:24.320 quit.

00:29:25.200 All he

00:29:25.720 has to

00:29:25.980 do is

00:29:26.280 wait until

00:29:26.760 his term

00:29:27.220 is up

00:29:27.620 at the

00:29:27.960 end of

00:29:28.280 May.

00:29:29.240 So what

00:29:29.860 happens

00:29:30.200 when they

00:29:30.620 get the

00:29:31.940 thing they

00:29:32.380 wanted the

00:29:32.920 most?

00:29:34.240 What are

00:29:34.760 they going

00:29:35.020 to do

00:29:35.240 then?

00:29:37.040 I don't

00:29:37.620 think they

00:29:37.980 planned this

00:29:38.560 out because

00:29:39.740 it doesn't

00:29:40.280 exactly

00:29:40.680 position them

00:29:41.480 for the

00:29:41.780 midterms

00:29:42.380 because it

00:29:44.160 will look

00:29:44.480 like Doge

00:29:45.860 accomplished a

00:29:46.640 bunch of

00:29:46.980 things,

00:29:48.340 saved a

00:29:48.840 bunch of

00:29:49.160 money of

00:29:49.580 crazy things,

00:29:50.600 and then he

00:29:51.560 left willingly

00:29:52.420 just like he

00:29:53.980 always planned.

00:29:56.060 They're going

00:29:56.660 to really run

00:29:57.200 out of stuff

00:29:57.680 to say.

00:29:58.540 I don't think

00:29:59.360 they've planned

00:29:59.820 this out at

00:30:00.580 all.

00:30:02.520 And then

00:30:03.080 what happens

00:30:03.680 when they're

00:30:05.000 complaining about

00:30:05.700 all the chaos

00:30:06.860 of the

00:30:08.100 tariff stuff?

00:30:10.400 What happens

00:30:11.220 when countries

00:30:11.900 start making

00:30:13.780 deals?

00:30:15.300 Because countries

00:30:16.520 have already

00:30:17.140 made offers

00:30:18.000 that, at

00:30:19.380 least at a

00:30:19.860 high level,

00:30:20.460 look like the

00:30:21.080 outline of a

00:30:21.720 deal.

00:30:22.360 They're coming

00:30:23.040 into town like

00:30:23.880 crazy.

00:30:24.520 The negotiators

00:30:26.180 are going to

00:30:26.520 be busy.

00:30:27.400 And the

00:30:27.800 funniest thing

00:30:28.460 I heard was,

00:30:30.140 you know how

00:30:30.500 Trump threatened

00:30:31.280 all the law

00:30:32.140 firms that

00:30:32.860 tried to

00:30:33.660 lawfare him.

00:30:35.380 And you

00:30:36.580 reached an

00:30:37.240 agreement with

00:30:38.020 several of

00:30:38.560 them that

00:30:39.580 they would

00:30:39.880 provide, in

00:30:40.620 many cases,

00:30:41.380 over $100

00:30:42.060 million of

00:30:43.700 pro bono

00:30:44.520 work for

00:30:45.500 whatever Trump

00:30:47.140 wanted them

00:30:47.600 to do.

00:30:48.580 And apparently

00:30:49.520 Trump might

00:30:50.260 want them to

00:30:50.920 negotiate trade

00:30:51.940 deals.

00:30:55.200 Can you

00:30:55.960 imagine that?

00:30:57.120 Can you

00:30:57.560 imagine if

00:30:58.260 everybody's like,

00:30:59.660 oh, you went

00:31:00.380 after all these,

00:31:01.340 you went after

00:31:02.280 all these lawyers

00:31:04.440 and you tried

00:31:06.180 to lawfare

00:31:06.800 the lawyers.

00:31:08.060 And then you

00:31:08.380 find out that

00:31:10.200 they offered

00:31:10.700 all this free

00:31:11.580 service.

00:31:12.500 And he said,

00:31:13.240 yeah, that's

00:31:13.600 perfect because

00:31:14.520 we've got all

00:31:15.000 these trade

00:31:15.540 deals we have

00:31:16.060 to negotiate.

00:31:16.860 They're really

00:31:17.140 complicated.

00:31:18.160 So maybe you

00:31:18.960 could give us

00:31:19.420 $100 million

00:31:20.020 worth of

00:31:20.900 helping us

00:31:21.960 negotiate good

00:31:22.720 trade deals.

00:31:24.980 What are

00:31:26.020 Democrats going

00:31:26.720 to complain

00:31:27.160 about that?

00:31:29.180 I don't

00:31:29.820 know.

00:31:30.860 So Bill

00:31:31.700 Maher has

00:31:32.260 finally come

00:31:32.940 back from

00:31:33.440 vacation.

00:31:34.320 So he was

00:31:34.740 gone.

00:31:37.040 Hold on.

00:31:37.780 My light

00:31:38.080 just went

00:31:38.440 out.

00:31:39.580 How does

00:31:46.900 that happen?

00:31:47.560 I don't

00:31:47.900 know.

00:31:50.080 So Bill

00:31:50.720 Maher finally

00:31:51.520 gave us a

00:31:52.060 redound on

00:31:53.080 his meeting

00:31:53.820 with Trump.

00:31:55.480 Does anybody

00:31:56.160 remember what

00:31:56.880 I said was

00:31:57.580 going to

00:31:57.840 happen?

00:31:59.240 So I had a

00:32:00.000 prediction about

00:32:01.020 how the

00:32:01.440 meeting would

00:32:01.980 go.

00:32:03.180 So my

00:32:03.800 prediction was

00:32:04.460 based on my

00:32:05.120 own and other

00:32:06.000 people's experience

00:32:07.080 meeting Trump

00:32:07.940 for the first

00:32:08.480 time, which

00:32:10.080 is what I

00:32:11.300 told you, was

00:32:12.520 that Trump is

00:32:13.260 unusually charismatic

00:32:15.320 and generous,

00:32:17.220 meaning that he

00:32:18.240 gives you eye

00:32:19.000 contact, he

00:32:19.740 lets you talk, he

00:32:21.040 asks about your

00:32:21.840 opinion, and

00:32:23.160 while you're

00:32:23.700 there, you're

00:32:24.740 the only person

00:32:25.400 in the world.

00:32:26.640 He makes you

00:32:27.620 feel like you're

00:32:28.320 the only person

00:32:29.280 who matters in

00:32:30.140 the world, and

00:32:31.180 he has no

00:32:31.760 other interest

00:32:32.460 about anything

00:32:33.280 except you.

00:32:35.360 Now, I felt

00:32:36.360 that, and I

00:32:37.620 told you that's

00:32:38.420 what Bill Maher

00:32:39.040 is going to

00:32:39.420 get.

00:32:40.180 He's going to

00:32:40.700 get the, oh

00:32:41.780 my God, this

00:32:43.080 guy's just sort

00:32:44.120 of awesome in

00:32:45.740 person.

00:32:46.920 So let me give

00:32:47.980 you a readout of

00:32:49.520 what Bill Maher

00:32:50.180 said himself about

00:32:51.600 his own

00:32:51.920 experience.

00:32:54.120 He was talking

00:32:55.060 to his audience,

00:32:55.860 and he said,

00:32:56.200 everything I

00:32:56.820 don't like

00:32:57.340 about him,

00:32:57.860 meaning Trump,

00:32:58.860 was, I swear

00:32:59.800 to God, absent,

00:33:01.540 at least on

00:33:02.200 that night.

00:33:02.900 Let me read

00:33:03.360 that again.

00:33:04.480 Everything I

00:33:05.400 don't like

00:33:06.080 about him was,

00:33:07.100 I swear to

00:33:07.640 God, absent,

00:33:09.280 at least on

00:33:09.960 that night.

00:33:10.840 He said he's

00:33:11.660 much more

00:33:12.120 self-aware than

00:33:13.140 he lets on

00:33:13.740 in public.

00:33:15.120 That is

00:33:15.740 correct.

00:33:17.140 He's

00:33:17.460 self-aware.

00:33:20.820 He said,

00:33:21.620 quote,

00:33:22.160 Marr said,

00:33:22.940 you can hate

00:33:23.420 me for it,

00:33:23.980 but I'm not

00:33:24.400 a liar. 0.91

00:33:25.280 Trump was

00:33:25.820 gracious and

00:33:26.780 measured.

00:33:28.420 Exactly.

00:33:29.360 He made eye

00:33:30.120 contact.

00:33:30.800 He asked

00:33:31.280 Marr for his

00:33:32.640 opinion and

00:33:33.380 then listened

00:33:33.840 to it.

00:33:35.140 Exactly what I

00:33:36.080 told you was

00:33:36.540 going to happen.

00:33:37.800 Remember I

00:33:38.220 told you that

00:33:39.500 he asked for

00:33:39.960 your opinion

00:33:40.340 and then he

00:33:40.980 actually really

00:33:41.940 listens to it.

00:33:43.500 It's like a

00:33:44.480 superpower.

00:33:45.800 When you feel

00:33:46.700 heard like

00:33:48.040 that, you

00:33:49.120 never forget

00:33:49.680 it.

00:33:52.220 He got a

00:33:53.100 tour of the

00:33:53.640 house, which

00:33:54.200 he was

00:33:54.640 impressive,

00:33:55.300 of course.

00:33:56.660 Marr said he

00:33:57.560 shared a

00:33:57.960 printout of

00:33:58.720 all the

00:33:59.000 insults that

00:34:00.080 Trump had

00:34:00.660 ever gave

00:34:01.400 him over 0.71

00:34:01.880 the years.

00:34:03.060 Trump signed

00:34:04.320 it with

00:34:04.920 good humor.

00:34:06.940 Trump just

00:34:07.580 took it as

00:34:08.320 it was fun

00:34:09.320 and he just

00:34:10.520 signed it and

00:34:11.080 gave it back

00:34:11.600 to him,

00:34:12.700 which was

00:34:13.600 perfect.

00:34:16.780 Then Marr

00:34:17.660 said he was

00:34:18.360 surprised that

00:34:20.680 Trump laughs.

00:34:22.960 Something he

00:34:23.640 said he had

00:34:24.060 never seen

00:34:24.540 him do in

00:34:24.960 public and

00:34:25.640 he told his

00:34:26.140 audience,

00:34:27.060 quote, he

00:34:27.640 does, including

00:34:28.820 it himself.

00:34:31.140 He does.

00:34:34.060 Then Marr

00:34:35.800 said, and

00:34:37.720 it's not

00:34:38.120 fake, believe

00:34:39.120 me, as a

00:34:39.660 comedian of

00:34:40.200 40 years, I

00:34:41.520 know a fake

00:34:42.120 laugh when I

00:34:42.740 hear it and

00:34:44.900 that wasn't

00:34:45.340 fake.

00:34:46.720 So remember

00:34:47.240 everybody talks

00:34:48.080 about Trump

00:34:48.600 being authentic?

00:34:50.360 There it is.

00:34:52.020 There it is.

00:34:52.840 A comedian

00:34:53.340 knows a fake

00:34:54.260 laugh.

00:34:55.540 His was

00:34:55.960 authentic.

00:34:57.780 And then

00:34:58.280 Marr said, I

00:34:58.960 never felt I

00:34:59.620 had to walk

00:35:00.060 on eggshells

00:35:00.940 around him.

00:35:02.340 And then he

00:35:03.040 said, and

00:35:03.520 honestly, Marr

00:35:05.120 said, I

00:35:06.020 voted for

00:35:06.580 Clinton and

00:35:07.180 Obama, but I

00:35:08.620 would never

00:35:09.180 feel comfortable

00:35:10.580 talking to

00:35:11.320 them the way

00:35:12.720 I was able to

00:35:13.600 talk with

00:35:14.160 Donald Trump.

00:35:15.760 just, just

00:35:17.900 listen to

00:35:18.580 that.

00:35:19.840 And he

00:35:20.520 says, that's

00:35:21.800 just how it

00:35:22.320 went down.

00:35:23.300 Make of it

00:35:23.760 what you

00:35:24.100 will.

00:35:24.620 Me?

00:35:25.160 I feel it's

00:35:26.060 emblematic of

00:35:27.040 why the

00:35:27.400 Democrats are

00:35:28.140 so unpopular

00:35:28.980 these days.

00:35:30.380 There it

00:35:31.020 is.

00:35:32.120 He was in

00:35:33.000 the presence

00:35:33.560 of the

00:35:34.240 head of

00:35:34.780 MAGA and

00:35:36.360 did not

00:35:36.860 feel judged.

00:35:39.300 Did not

00:35:40.140 feel judged

00:35:41.080 and did not

00:35:42.700 feel that he

00:35:43.260 would be

00:35:43.720 judged.

00:35:44.220 judged, but

00:35:45.940 his own

00:35:46.540 team, he

00:35:48.360 feels that

00:35:48.980 one misstep

00:35:50.020 and he

00:35:50.540 would be

00:35:50.920 judged.

00:35:52.860 That's so

00:35:53.600 powerful.

00:35:54.620 And that's, I

00:35:55.540 think that

00:35:55.920 actually explains

00:35:56.920 MAGA pretty

00:35:58.060 well.

00:36:00.780 So Marwanani

00:36:01.940 said, a

00:36:02.380 crazy person

00:36:03.220 doesn't live

00:36:03.960 in the White

00:36:04.360 House.

00:36:04.760 A person

00:36:05.220 who plays

00:36:05.700 a crazy

00:36:06.200 person on

00:36:06.840 TV a lot

00:36:07.600 lives there,

00:36:08.460 which I

00:36:09.080 know is

00:36:09.460 effed up.

00:36:10.320 It's just

00:36:10.860 not as

00:36:11.260 effed up as

00:36:11.820 I thought

00:36:12.180 it was.

00:36:14.980 So he

00:36:15.680 finally

00:36:16.080 understands

00:36:17.000 that Trump

00:36:18.600 understands

00:36:19.680 how to

00:36:20.100 put on

00:36:20.480 a show.

00:36:22.540 And that

00:36:23.240 if you

00:36:23.600 believe the

00:36:24.120 show was

00:36:25.380 the person,

00:36:26.500 then you

00:36:27.560 were completely

00:36:28.220 confused about

00:36:29.060 anything that

00:36:29.600 was going

00:36:29.980 on, and

00:36:30.580 I think

00:36:30.880 that was

00:36:31.240 the case.

00:36:32.480 How many

00:36:33.140 times have

00:36:33.640 I told

00:36:34.060 you, I've

00:36:34.700 used the

00:36:35.040 word, that

00:36:35.960 it's a

00:36:36.240 show, and

00:36:37.800 that he

00:36:38.020 uses hyperbole

00:36:39.060 and he's

00:36:40.320 playing to

00:36:40.740 the audience.

00:36:41.700 I've been

00:36:42.020 telling you

00:36:42.360 that forever.

00:36:43.360 Of course, his

00:36:45.080 real personality

00:36:46.180 is not the

00:36:46.860 show.

00:36:47.800 The show

00:36:48.260 is the

00:36:48.620 show.

00:36:49.820 The show

00:36:50.500 is work.

00:36:52.220 It's, you

00:36:52.920 know, important

00:36:53.540 in its own

00:36:54.120 way, but the

00:36:54.780 show is the

00:36:55.300 show.

00:36:55.680 It's not

00:36:55.920 his

00:36:56.080 personality.

00:36:58.960 And then

00:37:00.020 Mars said

00:37:00.660 that he

00:37:02.200 walked away

00:37:02.880 with nothing

00:37:04.640 from the

00:37:05.100 White House

00:37:05.460 except hats

00:37:06.200 and a very

00:37:06.720 generous amount

00:37:07.500 of time

00:37:08.180 and a

00:37:08.980 willingness

00:37:09.300 to listen

00:37:10.060 and accept

00:37:11.420 me as a

00:37:12.400 possible

00:37:13.000 friend, even

00:37:15.300 though I'm

00:37:15.920 not MAGA,

00:37:17.260 which was the

00:37:18.280 point of the

00:37:18.920 dinner.

00:37:20.860 Wow.

00:37:22.940 Wow.

00:37:24.840 Now, again,

00:37:26.800 I take you

00:37:27.360 back to my

00:37:27.900 prediction.

00:37:29.700 So, you

00:37:30.360 know, I've

00:37:30.640 only spent

00:37:31.100 20 minutes

00:37:32.020 with the

00:37:32.360 president, and

00:37:32.920 it was in

00:37:33.220 2018, but

00:37:34.900 this was my

00:37:35.520 exact experience,

00:37:36.980 exact experience.

00:37:38.180 It's just

00:37:39.060 this.

00:37:39.880 So, right

00:37:41.040 on point.

00:37:43.340 I don't

00:37:43.960 think it'll

00:37:44.340 change, you

00:37:45.500 know, Mars

00:37:46.000 criticism.

00:37:47.280 Nobody expects

00:37:48.000 him to, but

00:37:49.060 it's such a

00:37:50.360 reframe.

00:37:50.860 It's incredible.

00:37:52.540 So, meanwhile,

00:37:53.440 Taiwan has

00:37:54.080 offered to

00:37:54.480 drop tariffs

00:37:55.200 and to buy

00:37:56.160 more stuff

00:37:56.680 from the

00:37:57.020 U.S.,

00:37:57.980 Reuters

00:37:58.380 says.

00:37:59.820 I don't

00:38:00.420 want to get

00:38:00.760 too excited

00:38:01.860 about any

00:38:02.520 offers from

00:38:03.220 any countries

00:38:03.840 on tariffs,

00:38:05.360 because once

00:38:05.880 you get into

00:38:06.320 the details,

00:38:07.000 you know,

00:38:08.420 things get

00:38:09.020 crazy.

00:38:12.460 Trump has

00:38:13.100 said he

00:38:13.460 wants to,

00:38:14.060 according to

00:38:14.740 the Brussels

00:38:15.240 signal, he

00:38:16.900 suggested

00:38:18.560 linking tariff

00:38:19.520 negotiations in

00:38:20.540 Europe with

00:38:21.340 U.S.

00:38:21.920 troop deployment.

00:38:24.120 He says those

00:38:24.960 could be part of

00:38:25.560 the same thing.

00:38:26.540 What have I

00:38:27.060 told you that

00:38:27.820 Trump does

00:38:28.380 well in

00:38:29.020 negotiating?

00:38:30.460 One of the

00:38:31.000 things he does

00:38:31.620 is he brings

00:38:32.280 things into

00:38:32.980 the negotiation

00:38:33.820 that you

00:38:34.480 don't think

00:38:34.980 are part of

00:38:35.360 the negotiation.

00:38:36.840 There's no

00:38:37.540 Democrat who

00:38:38.860 would have

00:38:39.080 said we

00:38:39.440 should talk

00:38:39.880 about troop

00:38:40.480 deployment in

00:38:42.140 the same

00:38:42.520 conversation as

00:38:43.660 tariffs.

00:38:44.920 Only one

00:38:45.680 person.

00:38:47.040 The one

00:38:47.940 person who

00:38:48.620 understands how

00:38:50.220 to make a

00:38:50.620 deal.

00:38:51.840 So, if

00:38:52.380 bringing in

00:38:53.000 extra variables

00:38:53.960 gets you to

00:38:54.840 the deal,

00:38:55.720 well, you

00:38:56.000 bring them

00:38:56.320 in.

00:38:57.460 And I've

00:38:58.160 said this a

00:38:58.640 million times.

00:38:59.300 If you

00:38:59.940 can't make

00:39:00.420 a deal,

00:39:01.500 and throughout

00:39:02.480 history everybody's

00:39:03.740 been stymied

00:39:04.420 because they

00:39:04.880 can't make a

00:39:05.400 deal, whatever

00:39:05.840 it is, tariffs

00:39:06.640 or anything

00:39:07.040 else, you

00:39:08.100 just broaden

00:39:08.760 the variables.

00:39:10.140 You just

00:39:10.480 add, well,

00:39:11.360 what if we

00:39:12.040 also included

00:39:13.940 this other

00:39:14.600 topic that we

00:39:15.460 weren't talking

00:39:16.020 about?

00:39:16.560 Now can we

00:39:17.140 have a deal?

00:39:18.260 It's just

00:39:18.740 basic deal

00:39:19.400 making.

00:39:20.300 And only

00:39:20.720 Trump seems

00:39:21.300 to even

00:39:21.640 understand that

00:39:22.340 it exists as

00:39:23.340 a technique,

00:39:24.100 and then he

00:39:24.520 uses it.

00:39:26.600 So he

00:39:27.240 said the same

00:39:27.700 about South

00:39:28.340 Korea, too,

00:39:28.980 that troop

00:39:29.720 deployment might

00:39:30.420 be part of

00:39:30.900 a tariff

00:39:31.520 negotiation.

00:39:33.400 Well, as

00:39:34.140 you know

00:39:34.620 from Doge,

00:39:36.680 there were

00:39:37.200 a lot of

00:39:38.220 illegal

00:39:39.480 migrants in 0.99

00:39:41.220 the country

00:39:41.600 who were

00:39:41.900 given social

00:39:42.600 security numbers.

00:39:44.560 And it

00:39:45.380 turns out

00:39:45.840 that the

00:39:46.180 easiest way

00:39:46.860 to fix

00:39:47.820 that is

00:39:49.000 to just

00:39:49.420 change the

00:39:50.040 database,

00:39:50.820 if you know

00:39:51.620 which ones

00:39:52.080 are the

00:39:52.520 non-citizens

00:39:53.800 who have

00:39:54.180 them,

00:39:54.980 change the

00:39:55.620 database to

00:39:56.260 list them

00:39:56.600 as dead.

00:39:57.060 it's just

00:39:59.700 easier.

00:40:00.880 Because once

00:40:01.580 you list

00:40:01.960 them as

00:40:02.240 dead,

00:40:02.860 the system

00:40:03.780 prevents you

00:40:04.480 from using

00:40:05.040 the social

00:40:05.700 security number

00:40:06.560 anymore.

00:40:07.300 So you

00:40:07.840 wouldn't be

00:40:08.160 able to

00:40:08.400 get an

00:40:08.700 ID or

00:40:09.440 vote or

00:40:10.660 do all

00:40:11.840 the things

00:40:12.200 that you

00:40:12.440 use it

00:40:12.760 for.

00:40:13.760 So I

00:40:14.300 guess that's

00:40:14.640 one way

00:40:15.000 to do

00:40:15.260 it.

00:40:15.440 Glenn

00:40:19.060 Greenwald

00:40:19.560 was on

00:40:20.120 Jesse

00:40:21.060 Waters' 0.69

00:40:21.360 show

00:40:21.620 talking

00:40:22.520 about

00:40:22.940 the

00:40:24.300 difference

00:40:24.640 between

00:40:25.040 the

00:40:25.240 Democrats

00:40:25.720 who have

00:40:26.060 nothing

00:40:26.320 to offer

00:40:26.780 and

00:40:27.280 Trump.

00:40:28.540 And even

00:40:29.080 Greenwald

00:40:29.640 says that

00:40:30.460 Trump is

00:40:31.000 authentic

00:40:31.620 no matter

00:40:32.100 what you

00:40:32.420 think of

00:40:32.720 him,

00:40:33.080 but the

00:40:33.620 Democrats

00:40:33.960 have no

00:40:34.460 identity.

00:40:35.880 All they

00:40:36.440 have is

00:40:37.060 words that

00:40:37.780 consultants

00:40:38.300 have given

00:40:38.820 them,

00:40:39.620 so they

00:40:40.520 repeat the

00:40:41.600 words.

00:40:41.900 But here's

00:40:44.260 what I

00:40:44.600 want you

00:40:45.420 to watch

00:40:45.760 for.

00:40:46.400 You'll

00:40:46.820 think this

00:40:47.200 is hilarious

00:40:47.800 the next

00:40:48.240 time you

00:40:48.560 see it.

00:40:49.360 Now this

00:40:49.780 only applies

00:40:50.840 to the

00:40:52.140 senior

00:40:53.080 Democrat

00:40:54.100 leaders.

00:40:55.060 So it

00:40:55.340 would be

00:40:55.600 Schumer,

00:40:56.600 Warren,

00:40:57.920 Jeffries.

00:40:59.480 So this

00:40:59.920 won't apply

00:41:00.580 to just

00:41:01.040 pundits on

00:41:01.840 CNN.

00:41:02.840 But they've

00:41:03.960 obviously been

00:41:04.900 taught that

00:41:05.500 chaos is the

00:41:06.380 key word.

00:41:08.000 And people

00:41:08.480 who are

00:41:08.900 experts at

00:41:09.600 communicating

00:41:10.160 know that

00:41:11.420 people will

00:41:11.960 forget 90%

00:41:12.940 of whatever

00:41:13.420 you say

00:41:13.760 about

00:41:13.980 anything.

00:41:15.200 So if

00:41:16.140 there's one

00:41:16.680 part of

00:41:17.600 your message

00:41:18.100 you want

00:41:18.520 them to

00:41:18.840 remember and

00:41:19.480 repeat,

00:41:20.700 you've got to

00:41:21.160 really emphasize

00:41:22.680 it.

00:41:23.780 So what the

00:41:25.480 top Democrats

00:41:26.240 do, and I

00:41:27.240 saw this in a

00:41:27.960 compilation clip

00:41:28.840 the other

00:41:29.200 day, they

00:41:30.880 chickenhead the

00:41:32.260 word chaos.

00:41:33.960 By chickenhead,

00:41:34.880 I'm going to

00:41:35.180 do my

00:41:35.500 impression of

00:41:36.100 it, like

00:41:36.800 the head

00:41:37.700 thrusts forward

00:41:38.680 like a

00:41:39.100 chicken walking.

00:41:39.740 So if you

00:41:42.020 see them

00:41:42.380 talking, they'll

00:41:43.140 be saying

00:41:43.800 stuff like,

00:41:44.900 Trump is

00:41:45.680 doing terrible

00:41:46.340 things, he's

00:41:47.540 not elected

00:41:49.660 to do that,

00:41:50.720 we're worried

00:41:51.480 that it'll

00:41:51.840 cut your

00:41:52.260 health care,

00:41:53.240 and he's

00:41:53.620 bringing

00:41:53.920 chaos.

00:41:55.880 Chaos.

00:41:57.560 And they

00:41:58.240 chickened at

00:41:58.820 it, chaos,

00:42:00.280 because they

00:42:01.100 want to make

00:42:01.900 sure that the

00:42:02.500 one thing you

00:42:03.360 remember is

00:42:04.900 that word,

00:42:06.700 chaos.

00:42:06.900 So next

00:42:08.900 time you

00:42:09.260 see it, you

00:42:10.380 are going to

00:42:10.640 laugh your

00:42:11.840 ass off. 0.81

00:42:12.800 It's so

00:42:13.360 obvious that

00:42:14.840 it's a

00:42:15.180 consultant

00:42:15.680 chosen word,

00:42:16.740 and it's

00:42:17.100 part of

00:42:17.380 their scamming

00:42:18.100 senior

00:42:18.440 citizens,

00:42:19.460 because chaos

00:42:20.640 doesn't

00:42:22.000 necessarily scare

00:42:23.560 a young

00:42:23.920 person, because

00:42:25.360 young people

00:42:25.900 are like,

00:42:26.320 chaos, that

00:42:27.320 might be

00:42:27.660 fun.

00:42:28.460 But if

00:42:28.780 you're old, 0.57

00:42:29.640 and you

00:42:29.940 don't want

00:42:30.260 anything to

00:42:30.680 change,

00:42:31.160 because you

00:42:31.460 can just

00:42:31.820 barely afford

00:42:32.480 your life

00:42:32.940 the way it

00:42:33.380 is, you

00:42:34.340 don't want

00:42:34.960 any chaos.

00:42:36.900 So, between

00:42:39.820 the chaos

00:42:40.580 word, and

00:42:41.800 the fact that

00:42:42.300 they keep

00:42:42.720 repeating,

00:42:43.300 he's going

00:42:43.580 to cut

00:42:43.900 your health

00:42:44.420 care, you

00:42:45.240 know, your

00:42:45.660 Medicare,

00:42:46.600 Medicaid

00:42:46.860 stuff, those

00:42:48.360 are scams

00:42:49.140 on seniors.

00:42:50.380 They've

00:42:50.860 basically taken

00:42:51.700 the Nigerian

00:42:52.800 prince approach

00:42:53.960 to politics,

00:42:54.740 where, why

00:42:56.080 don't we just

00:42:56.560 scam seniors?

00:42:58.880 We'll just

00:42:59.560 tell them some

00:43:00.160 things that

00:43:00.640 they're not

00:43:00.980 likely to

00:43:01.520 check, and

00:43:02.940 we'll get

00:43:03.480 them all

00:43:03.760 worried, and

00:43:04.620 then we can

00:43:05.060 get elected.

00:43:06.900 Anyway, it's

00:43:08.320 hard to

00:43:08.620 claim chaos

00:43:09.380 is the

00:43:09.760 problem when

00:43:10.260 you're running

00:43:10.700 fake protests

00:43:12.240 against Tesla.

00:43:13.880 When I

00:43:14.500 found out my

00:43:15.120 friend got a

00:43:15.740 great deal on

00:43:16.560 a wool coat

00:43:17.100 from Winners,

00:43:17.980 I started

00:43:18.720 wondering, is

00:43:19.900 every fabulous

00:43:20.960 item I see

00:43:21.660 from Winners?

00:43:22.720 Like that

00:43:23.260 woman over 0.99

00:43:23.740 there with

00:43:24.200 the designer

00:43:24.640 jeans.

00:43:25.460 Are those

00:43:26.060 from Winners?

00:43:27.000 Ooh, or

00:43:27.760 those beautiful

00:43:28.280 gold earrings?

00:43:29.460 Did she pay 0.97

00:43:29.860 full price?

00:43:30.780 Or that

00:43:31.060 leather tote?

00:43:31.800 Or that

00:43:32.060 cashmere

00:43:32.420 sweater?

00:43:33.040 Or those

00:43:33.340 knee-high

00:43:33.640 boots?

00:43:34.480 That dress?

00:43:35.280 That jacket?

00:43:35.800 Those shoes?

00:43:37.000 Is anyone

00:43:37.760 paying full

00:43:38.380 price for

00:43:38.940 anything?

00:43:39.920 Stop

00:43:40.380 wondering.

00:43:41.200 Start winning.

00:43:42.120 Winners find

00:43:42.920 fabulous for

00:43:43.720 less.

00:43:46.800 Harry

00:43:47.440 Unton, who's

00:43:48.720 the data

00:43:49.260 guy on

00:43:49.740 CNN, has

00:43:52.440 yet another

00:43:53.100 shocking poll

00:43:54.280 that I'll

00:43:55.520 give CNN

00:43:56.860 credit for

00:43:57.600 running the

00:43:58.180 poll and

00:43:58.560 giving it a

00:43:59.260 lot of

00:43:59.540 time.

00:44:01.100 The question

00:44:01.740 was, who

00:44:02.520 cares more

00:44:03.200 for the needs

00:44:03.900 of people

00:44:04.360 like you?

00:44:05.560 Democrats

00:44:06.040 or Republicans?

00:44:07.720 Who cares

00:44:08.660 more?

00:44:09.480 In 1994,

00:44:11.820 by 19

00:44:13.300 points,

00:44:14.060 Democrats

00:44:14.540 were picked

00:44:15.240 as the

00:44:15.560 ones who

00:44:15.860 care more

00:44:16.500 about people

00:44:17.660 like you.

00:44:18.860 In 2005,

00:44:20.860 it was all

00:44:21.280 the way up

00:44:21.560 to 23

00:44:22.480 an advantage

00:44:23.960 for Democrats

00:44:25.960 that Democrats

00:44:28.400 are the ones

00:44:28.840 who cared

00:44:29.380 the more

00:44:29.760 about people

00:44:30.340 like you.

00:44:30.800 In 2017,

00:44:32.360 with Trump's

00:44:34.580 first term,

00:44:35.800 they were

00:44:36.500 still up

00:44:36.820 13.

00:44:38.240 Now, these

00:44:38.640 are big

00:44:39.440 advantages.

00:44:41.480 If the

00:44:42.180 public thinks

00:44:42.940 that the

00:44:46.120 Democrats

00:44:46.620 care more

00:44:47.240 about people

00:44:47.820 like them,

00:44:48.420 well, of

00:44:48.920 course they're

00:44:49.440 going to

00:44:49.660 vote that

00:44:50.080 way.

00:44:51.400 Guess what

00:44:51.820 it is in

00:44:52.260 2025?

00:44:54.820 It's a

00:44:55.480 tie.

00:44:56.740 It's a

00:44:57.440 tie.

00:44:57.840 Trump

00:44:59.020 actually

00:44:59.520 brought up

00:45:00.740 19, up

00:45:01.540 23, up

00:45:02.380 13.

00:45:03.820 He brought

00:45:04.780 that advantage

00:45:05.460 to zero.

00:45:07.180 It's a

00:45:07.660 tie.

00:45:10.060 So,

00:45:10.460 Democrats

00:45:11.320 are no

00:45:11.820 longer seen

00:45:12.440 as the

00:45:12.960 party of

00:45:13.460 the people.

00:45:14.560 Trump has

00:45:14.980 made the

00:45:15.580 complete

00:45:15.920 transition.

00:45:17.360 But,

00:45:18.140 people who

00:45:18.760 have college

00:45:19.380 degrees

00:45:20.000 still think

00:45:21.500 by a

00:45:23.920 good amount

00:45:25.000 that

00:45:26.500 Democrats

00:45:27.240 are the

00:45:27.640 ones for

00:45:28.100 people like

00:45:28.660 them.

00:45:29.640 People with

00:45:30.420 college

00:45:30.760 degrees.

00:45:32.000 People

00:45:32.220 without

00:45:32.600 college

00:45:33.080 degrees

00:45:33.600 absolutely

00:45:34.720 think the

00:45:35.460 Republicans

00:45:35.960 are people

00:45:36.600 like them

00:45:37.120 and are

00:45:38.600 concerned

00:45:39.020 about people

00:45:39.540 like them.

00:45:41.080 So,

00:45:41.860 that is

00:45:42.540 just wild.

00:45:44.420 You know,

00:45:44.820 you've heard

00:45:45.880 people say,

00:45:46.640 even the

00:45:47.000 Democrats say

00:45:47.660 this,

00:45:48.040 they'll say

00:45:48.400 this about

00:45:48.860 Trump,

00:45:49.780 that he's

00:45:50.160 the best

00:45:50.620 political

00:45:51.280 athlete they've

00:45:52.520 ever seen.

00:45:53.380 Have you

00:45:53.620 heard them

00:45:53.940 say that?

00:45:55.000 It's kind

00:45:56.040 of a good

00:45:56.480 way to

00:45:57.240 acknowledge

00:45:57.860 the reality

00:45:58.600 that he's

00:45:59.440 so successful

00:46:00.160 in politics

00:46:00.900 without

00:46:02.380 sounding too

00:46:04.100 gushing.

00:46:05.360 So,

00:46:05.820 they just

00:46:06.100 say he's

00:46:06.460 the best

00:46:06.780 political

00:46:07.340 athlete they've

00:46:08.300 ever seen.

00:46:09.460 That's right.

00:46:11.200 I've told

00:46:11.900 you he was

00:46:12.340 the most

00:46:12.640 persuasive

00:46:13.480 person I'd

00:46:15.240 ever seen.

00:46:16.200 You know,

00:46:16.360 even in

00:46:16.900 2016 I was

00:46:17.860 saying that.

00:46:18.940 But,

00:46:19.220 yeah,

00:46:19.460 he's the

00:46:19.840 best political

00:46:20.620 athlete we've

00:46:21.700 ever seen.

00:46:22.740 And this

00:46:23.420 just really

00:46:23.900 brings that

00:46:24.340 home.

00:46:25.000 And then

00:46:27.200 if you're

00:46:27.500 wondering how

00:46:27.940 this would

00:46:28.280 affect the

00:46:28.740 midterm,

00:46:30.420 the generic

00:46:31.360 midterm,

00:46:32.100 if you were

00:46:32.400 looking at

00:46:32.860 a generic

00:46:33.320 Republican

00:46:33.940 versus a

00:46:34.740 generic

00:46:35.040 Democrat,

00:46:36.660 in November

00:46:38.020 2024,

00:46:40.120 the Democrats

00:46:42.000 were only

00:46:42.640 up one.

00:46:43.720 and in

00:46:48.540 2017,

00:46:49.980 when things

00:46:51.600 went wrong

00:46:52.580 for the

00:46:52.980 midterms,

00:46:53.620 for Trump

00:46:54.100 in his

00:46:54.360 first term,

00:46:55.340 Democrats

00:46:55.820 were up

00:46:56.140 by seven.

00:46:58.600 So,

00:46:59.020 even the

00:46:59.680 advantage

00:47:00.240 of what

00:47:02.040 you expect

00:47:02.540 would be a

00:47:03.000 midterm

00:47:03.380 wipeout,

00:47:04.620 the data

00:47:05.380 does not

00:47:05.980 suggest that

00:47:06.820 there will

00:47:07.080 be a

00:47:07.380 midterm

00:47:07.740 wipeout.

00:47:08.860 Now,

00:47:09.300 there might

00:47:09.600 still be,

00:47:10.880 but the

00:47:11.580 data doesn't

00:47:12.260 signal it,

00:47:13.680 because up

00:47:14.200 one is the

00:47:15.000 same as

00:47:15.620 a tie,

00:47:16.380 basically.

00:47:17.740 Just think

00:47:18.440 about that.

00:47:19.380 With all

00:47:20.160 of the

00:47:20.720 efforts of

00:47:22.340 the Democrats

00:47:23.020 to protest

00:47:25.160 Tesla and

00:47:26.380 be against

00:47:27.220 tariffs and

00:47:27.920 everything's

00:47:28.420 chaos,

00:47:29.000 and it's just

00:47:29.400 been a full

00:47:30.460 court press

00:47:31.180 against Trump

00:47:31.880 and Musk,

00:47:32.740 and it

00:47:34.080 brought him

00:47:34.420 only to

00:47:34.840 a tie

00:47:35.300 as the

00:47:36.400 midterms

00:47:36.900 are looking

00:47:37.600 ahead.

00:47:38.320 And like

00:47:38.580 I said,

00:47:40.400 their biggest

00:47:41.180 complaint is

00:47:43.100 Elon Musk's

00:47:44.180 contribution,

00:47:45.440 and that

00:47:46.060 could be

00:47:46.500 completely

00:47:47.120 wound down

00:47:48.540 before the

00:47:49.060 midterms.

00:47:49.820 What do

00:47:50.120 they got?

00:47:51.560 What happens

00:47:52.380 if Trump

00:47:52.880 has,

00:47:53.560 I don't

00:47:54.500 know,

00:47:55.880 25 trade

00:47:57.080 deals lined

00:47:57.860 up,

00:47:58.500 and they all

00:47:59.260 look better

00:47:59.660 than they

00:48:00.020 used to be,

00:48:00.540 as we head

00:48:02.000 into the

00:48:02.360 midterms,

00:48:03.180 and China

00:48:04.180 is isolated?

00:48:07.560 I don't

00:48:08.200 know.

00:48:08.980 It might

00:48:09.280 be a real

00:48:10.360 bad day

00:48:10.860 for Democrats.

00:48:11.700 It's way

00:48:11.980 too early

00:48:12.380 to know.

00:48:14.000 So you

00:48:14.340 know that

00:48:14.680 SAVE Act?

00:48:15.820 That's the

00:48:16.460 one where

00:48:17.020 Republicans

00:48:18.420 are trying

00:48:19.780 to pass a

00:48:20.300 law that

00:48:20.760 everybody

00:48:21.120 needs an

00:48:21.820 ID to

00:48:23.140 be able

00:48:23.440 to vote?

00:48:24.640 Stephen

00:48:25.080 Miller is

00:48:25.860 reminding us

00:48:26.680 that there's

00:48:27.280 literally only

00:48:28.380 one reason

00:48:29.180 that Democrats

00:48:31.180 would be in

00:48:31.720 favor of

00:48:32.300 not having

00:48:33.320 an ID

00:48:33.720 requirement

00:48:34.300 to vote.

00:48:35.380 There's only

00:48:36.240 one reason.

00:48:37.700 It's so you

00:48:38.500 can get a

00:48:38.920 bunch of

00:48:39.700 illegal voters

00:48:40.860 to vote for

00:48:41.420 you.

00:48:42.900 There's not

00:48:43.640 really a second

00:48:44.520 reason.

00:48:45.820 Because that

00:48:46.540 whole women 0.96

00:48:47.440 can't get

00:48:48.000 ID, nobody

00:48:48.620 thinks that

00:48:49.080 is true.

00:48:49.920 Or that black 1.00

00:48:50.540 people can't 0.97

00:48:51.180 get ID and

00:48:51.820 they want to

00:48:52.240 vote, nobody

00:48:52.860 thinks that's

00:48:53.400 true.

00:48:53.800 We're still

00:48:54.220 waiting for the

00:48:54.880 first example

00:48:55.920 of that.

00:48:56.340 You know,

00:48:58.200 all day

00:48:58.600 long, CNN

00:49:00.340 will give

00:49:00.880 you stories

00:49:01.440 about, here's

00:49:03.080 this fisherman

00:49:03.760 whose business

00:49:05.180 will be destroyed

00:49:06.000 by tariffs.

00:49:07.680 Here's this

00:49:08.320 small business

00:49:09.100 person who

00:49:09.800 does business

00:49:10.500 with Amazon

00:49:11.160 and their

00:49:12.020 business will

00:49:12.540 be destroyed

00:49:13.160 by tariffs.

00:49:14.260 Then you

00:49:14.760 change the

00:49:15.260 channel to

00:49:15.980 Fox News

00:49:17.340 and it's,

00:49:18.660 here's this

00:49:19.260 victim of

00:49:20.440 illegal immigrants.

00:49:21.820 Here's another

00:49:22.320 victim of

00:49:23.040 illegal immigrants.

00:49:24.700 Anytime you

00:49:26.140 can find

00:49:26.720 even one

00:49:27.680 frickin' 0.93

00:49:28.320 person to

00:49:29.520 make your

00:49:30.060 case, they

00:49:31.920 get highlighted

00:49:32.560 every single

00:49:34.340 time.

00:49:35.280 You only need

00:49:36.100 to find one,

00:49:37.380 just one

00:49:38.040 victim or

00:49:40.100 one example

00:49:41.280 and then you

00:49:42.440 go wild of

00:49:43.300 acting like

00:49:44.040 it's, you

00:49:44.660 know, representative

00:49:45.420 of the whole.

00:49:46.520 Sometimes it

00:49:47.080 is.

00:49:48.200 But just

00:49:49.200 think about how

00:49:49.860 long we've

00:49:50.380 been talking

00:49:50.840 about black

00:49:52.200 people who

00:49:52.760 want to vote

00:49:53.260 can't get ID

00:49:54.100 and now how

00:49:55.300 long we've

00:49:55.760 talked about

00:49:56.340 divorced or

00:49:58.340 unmarried

00:49:58.760 women not 0.97

00:50:01.020 being able to

00:50:01.540 get ID.

00:50:03.180 And yet,

00:50:04.020 not one

00:50:05.020 example.

00:50:07.140 Not one

00:50:09.060 example.

00:50:10.720 Now, how

00:50:12.380 hard is it to

00:50:13.220 find one

00:50:13.820 example of

00:50:14.500 anything?

00:50:16.220 You could

00:50:16.820 almost, you

00:50:18.480 know, throw a

00:50:19.980 dart at all

00:50:20.840 the issues in

00:50:21.660 the world and

00:50:22.920 you would

00:50:23.240 almost certainly

00:50:24.160 find one

00:50:26.140 person who

00:50:28.140 represents the

00:50:29.060 point you're

00:50:29.480 making, even

00:50:30.140 if it's not

00:50:30.840 representative of

00:50:31.640 the whole.

00:50:32.300 You can always

00:50:33.020 find one, but

00:50:35.300 they can't find

00:50:36.040 one.

00:50:38.000 And their

00:50:39.420 base hasn't

00:50:40.120 noticed.

00:50:41.520 Somehow their

00:50:42.140 base hasn't

00:50:42.760 noticed that

00:50:43.260 this is the

00:50:43.780 only topic of

00:50:45.280 all time, the

00:50:46.560 only topic where

00:50:48.800 you can't find

00:50:49.340 one in the

00:50:50.980 whole country.

00:50:52.560 So, that's

00:50:54.060 just funny to

00:50:54.780 me.

00:50:56.460 Here are some

00:50:57.380 controversial

00:50:58.060 moves Trump's

00:50:59.380 making.

00:50:59.960 So, allegedly,

00:51:01.380 this hasn't

00:51:02.320 happened yet, but

00:51:03.780 I think CNN's

00:51:04.720 reporting this,

00:51:05.640 that the

00:51:07.220 Trump

00:51:07.460 administration is

00:51:08.320 going to make

00:51:08.640 big cuts to

00:51:09.760 the National

00:51:10.420 Oceanic and

00:51:11.660 Atmospheric

00:51:12.380 Administration.

00:51:13.500 that would

00:51:15.460 allegedly, we

00:51:16.460 don't know that

00:51:16.960 this is true

00:51:17.520 yet, so far

00:51:18.860 this is rumored,

00:51:20.520 rumored based

00:51:22.040 on documents,

00:51:22.880 but rumored,

00:51:24.040 that would

00:51:25.000 close all

00:51:25.640 weather and

00:51:26.180 climate labs

00:51:27.220 and eviscerate 0.89

00:51:28.240 the budget

00:51:28.760 along with

00:51:29.440 several NOAA

00:51:31.200 offices.

00:51:34.540 And the

00:51:35.540 plan would

00:51:36.440 cut the

00:51:36.980 overall NOAA

00:51:37.880 budget by

00:51:38.380 27%.

00:51:39.540 A bunch of

00:51:40.680 functions would

00:51:41.460 be rolled into

00:51:42.360 other

00:51:42.940 groups, but

00:51:45.860 they would

00:51:46.240 go hard at

00:51:46.960 the research

00:51:47.960 office, cutting

00:51:48.900 the research

00:51:49.560 office by

00:51:50.160 roughly 75%.

00:51:51.640 Now, here's

00:51:56.700 the context,

00:51:58.460 which CNN,

00:51:59.460 of course,

00:51:59.800 will leave

00:52:00.240 out.

00:52:01.660 If what

00:52:02.580 NOAA was

00:52:03.260 doing was

00:52:04.920 essential work

00:52:05.920 and good

00:52:06.580 science, this

00:52:08.400 sounds like

00:52:09.120 it would be a

00:52:09.520 very bad

00:52:09.940 idea, because

00:52:11.320 they would be

00:52:11.920 doing a

00:52:12.860 bunch of

00:52:13.200 essential

00:52:13.580 science,

00:52:14.260 they'd be

00:52:14.560 warning us

00:52:15.080 about climate

00:52:15.660 change, we

00:52:17.400 know what

00:52:17.800 to do, we

00:52:18.660 know how

00:52:19.060 fast it's

00:52:19.620 coming, we

00:52:20.720 have a good

00:52:21.200 sense of

00:52:21.700 it, but

00:52:24.040 probably all

00:52:25.620 the climate

00:52:26.120 change stuff

00:52:26.800 was fake.

00:52:28.720 So it

00:52:29.620 looks like

00:52:30.080 Trump is

00:52:30.520 just saying,

00:52:31.240 just get rid

00:52:32.640 of everything

00:52:33.080 that's fake,

00:52:34.080 and anything

00:52:35.120 that looks

00:52:35.580 useful and

00:52:36.240 real, we'll

00:52:36.940 just keep

00:52:37.780 it, but

00:52:38.220 maybe it's

00:52:38.660 under different

00:52:39.220 departments or

00:52:39.920 something.

00:52:41.260 So the

00:52:41.820 big question

00:52:42.380 is, how

00:52:43.600 fake was

00:52:44.780 the science

00:52:45.480 all along?

00:52:47.080 My own

00:52:47.600 opinion is

00:52:49.840 that the

00:52:50.460 climate models

00:52:52.000 have always

00:52:52.480 been fake,

00:52:53.600 and that

00:52:54.260 everything that

00:52:56.020 went into

00:52:56.760 supporting them

00:52:57.680 must have

00:52:59.400 also been

00:52:59.940 about equally

00:53:00.600 fake.

00:53:01.840 So I can't

00:53:03.120 prove that,

00:53:04.220 but I can

00:53:04.700 tell you that

00:53:05.320 there's no such

00:53:06.380 thing as

00:53:06.840 predicting the

00:53:07.620 future 80

00:53:08.400 years in

00:53:08.860 advance with

00:53:10.060 a multivariable

00:53:11.500 model.

00:53:12.940 That's not a

00:53:14.020 thing.

00:53:15.200 Never will be

00:53:16.200 a thing.

00:53:17.020 Even AI

00:53:17.520 can't do it.

00:53:19.660 Well, I

00:53:20.360 keep hearing

00:53:20.940 MSNBC

00:53:22.960 carping on

00:53:23.920 Peter Navarro

00:53:25.100 for what they

00:53:26.780 say was he

00:53:30.060 would refer to

00:53:31.140 what they

00:53:31.740 call a

00:53:32.120 fictional expert

00:53:33.180 in several

00:53:34.020 of his books.

00:53:34.880 So he's

00:53:35.220 written several

00:53:35.820 books.

00:53:36.380 Trade with

00:53:38.800 China and

00:53:39.560 related topics.

00:53:41.560 And this

00:53:42.520 fictional character,

00:53:43.880 which we now

00:53:44.660 know is not

00:53:45.380 real, was

00:53:46.660 called Ron

00:53:47.400 Vara, which

00:53:48.860 is an

00:53:49.220 anagram of

00:53:50.180 Navarro's

00:53:50.920 own last

00:53:51.400 name.

00:53:52.640 And he

00:53:53.160 would refer

00:53:54.560 to the

00:53:55.060 expert to

00:53:56.500 bolster the

00:53:57.520 opinions that

00:53:58.340 he was saying

00:53:58.820 in the book.

00:53:59.560 And the

00:54:00.000 expert was

00:54:00.680 allegedly a

00:54:01.600 Harvard-trained

00:54:02.320 economist, which

00:54:04.100 I believe is

00:54:04.720 what Peter

00:54:05.160 Navarro is.

00:54:05.860 So he

00:54:06.840 was basically

00:54:07.480 referring to

00:54:08.380 himself as

00:54:10.580 the expert.

00:54:12.040 Now, the

00:54:13.220 first time I

00:54:13.760 heard it, I

00:54:14.880 thought, that

00:54:15.700 doesn't sound

00:54:16.280 real.

00:54:17.040 So I

00:54:17.500 ignored it.

00:54:18.880 But it's

00:54:19.580 getting a lot

00:54:20.100 of legs.

00:54:21.760 And so I

00:54:22.780 went to

00:54:23.240 Grock and I

00:54:24.120 said, is this

00:54:24.780 real?

00:54:25.760 Did Peter

00:54:26.300 Navarro really

00:54:27.220 use an

00:54:29.560 expert that

00:54:30.400 was just

00:54:30.780 himself?

00:54:31.220 and then

00:54:32.240 he wrote

00:54:32.600 books about

00:54:33.500 it?

00:54:34.100 Well, here's

00:54:34.900 the first

00:54:35.200 thing you

00:54:35.480 need to

00:54:35.720 know, that

00:54:36.940 Peter Navarro

00:54:38.700 completely admits

00:54:39.900 it.

00:54:40.880 So it is

00:54:41.680 real.

00:54:43.040 He did

00:54:43.660 refer to

00:54:44.300 somebody called

00:54:45.140 Ron Varro.

00:54:47.000 It was not a

00:54:47.740 real person.

00:54:48.720 It was just

00:54:49.400 Peter Navarro

00:54:50.180 essentially referring

00:54:51.360 to himself.

00:54:51.960 But he

00:54:53.000 said that he

00:54:53.460 used it as

00:54:54.180 a, what

00:54:59.400 do you call

00:54:59.800 it?

00:55:01.180 He admitted

00:55:01.720 to creating

00:55:02.300 this character

00:55:02.940 as a

00:55:03.480 whimsical

00:55:03.920 device for

00:55:04.900 entertainment,

00:55:06.140 not as a

00:55:07.040 factual source.

00:55:08.980 So I said

00:55:09.720 to myself,

00:55:10.400 hmm, I

00:55:11.640 guess we

00:55:11.940 have to

00:55:12.200 figure out

00:55:12.600 what expert

00:55:13.260 means.

00:55:14.680 Does expert

00:55:15.460 mean that

00:55:16.280 he has

00:55:16.740 data and

00:55:18.440 that he's

00:55:19.040 analyzed

00:55:19.360 something?

00:55:20.600 Or is

00:55:21.660 expert being

00:55:22.400 overused?

00:55:23.420 In other

00:55:23.760 words, did

00:55:24.540 Peter Navarro

00:55:27.320 call him an

00:55:27.840 expert?

00:55:29.260 Because if

00:55:29.880 he did, that

00:55:31.060 would seem

00:55:31.460 kind of

00:55:31.820 damning,

00:55:32.260 wouldn't

00:55:32.420 it?

00:55:33.540 But then

00:55:33.980 I went

00:55:34.680 to Grok

00:55:35.300 and I

00:55:35.560 said, can

00:55:35.900 you give

00:55:36.180 me an

00:55:36.440 example of

00:55:37.880 what this

00:55:38.480 alleged fake

00:55:41.440 character,

00:55:42.000 Ron

00:55:42.260 Vera, said

00:55:43.480 in one of

00:55:43.880 the books.

00:55:44.360 So one

00:55:44.580 of the

00:55:44.740 books was

00:55:45.160 Death by

00:55:45.660 China,

00:55:46.140 2011,

00:55:47.120 and this

00:55:47.920 is the

00:55:48.520 fake quote

00:55:49.960 from the

00:55:50.780 fake person

00:55:51.380 Ron

00:55:51.680 Vara.

00:55:52.180 Quote,

00:55:52.800 only the

00:55:53.540 Chinese can

00:55:54.280 turn a

00:55:54.680 leather sofa

00:55:55.420 into an

00:55:56.040 acid bath,

00:55:57.280 a baby

00:55:57.780 formula into

00:55:58.620 a poison,

00:55:59.640 a drywall

00:56:00.460 into a

00:56:00.940 sarcoma gas,

00:56:02.420 and a

00:56:02.820 pet food

00:56:03.320 into a

00:56:03.760 lethal

00:56:04.020 cocktail.

00:56:05.380 So the

00:56:06.020 quotes were

00:56:06.840 about Chinese

00:56:07.680 products that

00:56:08.400 were unsafe

00:56:09.200 for consumers.

00:56:11.200 Now, how

00:56:12.500 much of that

00:56:13.060 is expert?

00:56:14.860 Not really

00:56:15.680 any of it.

00:56:17.040 Not really

00:56:17.860 any of it.

00:56:18.380 expertise.

00:56:19.380 Because it's

00:56:20.100 just sort of

00:56:20.700 a whimsical

00:56:21.340 way to say

00:56:22.160 the same

00:56:22.620 thing that

00:56:23.220 Peter Navarro

00:56:24.600 was saying.

00:56:25.880 So Navarro

00:56:26.780 probably had

00:56:28.180 some data

00:56:28.800 about these

00:56:29.560 very products,

00:56:31.020 probably referred

00:56:32.220 to the data,

00:56:33.160 but then when he

00:56:34.020 wanted to kind

00:56:34.840 of cleverly sum

00:56:35.960 them up,

00:56:37.360 he just had

00:56:38.200 his counter,

00:56:40.560 his other

00:56:41.460 character do

00:56:42.380 the summing

00:56:42.880 up, so it

00:56:44.000 sounded like

00:56:44.560 somebody else

00:56:45.340 was saying it.

00:56:45.920 Now, that's

00:56:46.940 not really

00:56:47.280 any expertise.

00:56:49.320 Now, do I

00:56:50.220 approve of

00:56:50.780 this?

00:56:51.340 No.

00:56:52.460 No.

00:56:52.940 I don't

00:56:53.880 think this

00:56:54.400 was the

00:56:55.400 best way

00:56:55.900 to go

00:56:56.220 about it.

00:56:57.400 But it

00:56:58.040 didn't sound

00:56:58.540 like expertise.

00:57:00.440 So as

00:57:01.160 soon as

00:57:01.520 MSNBC says

00:57:02.700 it's like

00:57:03.100 expertise,

00:57:04.400 none of

00:57:04.920 this changed

00:57:05.520 his opinions.

00:57:07.420 None of

00:57:07.960 it had a

00:57:08.440 bearing on

00:57:09.300 his main

00:57:10.020 points.

00:57:11.320 It was

00:57:11.780 just a

00:57:12.860 clever way

00:57:13.380 to sum

00:57:13.800 them up.

00:57:14.680 Now, I

00:57:15.060 haven't seen

00:57:15.480 all the

00:57:15.800 examples,

00:57:17.280 so maybe

00:57:17.980 there's some

00:57:18.360 example that's

00:57:19.020 more damning.

00:57:21.440 But I

00:57:23.560 just think

00:57:23.960 it's kind

00:57:24.380 of funny

00:57:24.760 that he

00:57:25.260 would have

00:57:25.700 a whimsical

00:57:26.240 character

00:57:26.960 that's clearly

00:57:28.320 he's not

00:57:28.880 trying to

00:57:29.320 hide it

00:57:29.660 too hard.

00:57:30.980 Because if

00:57:31.600 you name

00:57:32.000 the character

00:57:32.600 an anagram

00:57:33.760 of your

00:57:34.340 own last

00:57:34.880 name,

00:57:35.920 it wasn't

00:57:36.980 that hard

00:57:37.420 to spot.

00:57:39.460 So it

00:57:40.240 does give

00:57:42.820 me the

00:57:43.420 impression

00:57:44.380 that he

00:57:45.100 thought it

00:57:45.480 was funny

00:57:46.100 and like

00:57:47.600 a useful

00:57:48.260 author tool,

00:57:51.220 but rather

00:57:52.060 than trying

00:57:52.780 to pass it

00:57:53.320 off as

00:57:53.680 real expertise.

00:57:54.900 So you

00:57:55.420 can have

00:57:55.720 your own

00:57:56.020 opinion

00:57:56.320 about that.

00:57:58.840 So Jack

00:57:59.880 Dorsey and

00:58:01.560 Elon Musk

00:58:02.360 appeared to

00:58:03.200 agree on

00:58:04.040 the X

00:58:05.120 platform

00:58:05.600 yesterday,

00:58:07.500 and what

00:58:07.840 they agreed

00:58:08.260 on was

00:58:09.080 ending IP

00:58:10.700 laws,

00:58:11.260 intellectual

00:58:12.920 property.

00:58:14.340 So instead

00:58:14.660 of fighting

00:58:15.260 about the

00:58:15.720 intellectual

00:58:16.180 property all

00:58:16.860 the time,

00:58:17.560 which is

00:58:17.940 an enormous

00:58:19.180 resource,

00:58:20.720 well,

00:58:21.500 uses a lot

00:58:22.140 of resources,

00:58:23.780 Dorsey and

00:58:24.280 Musk both 1.00

00:58:24.800 seem to

00:58:25.160 agree that

00:58:25.960 we might be

00:58:27.900 better off if

00:58:28.520 we got rid

00:58:29.000 of all

00:58:29.320 intellectual

00:58:29.800 property.

00:58:30.640 Now I

00:58:30.880 believe Tesla

00:58:31.580 has done

00:58:32.160 some of

00:58:33.280 that.

00:58:34.540 I believe

00:58:35.160 they made

00:58:35.540 some of

00:58:35.900 their

00:58:36.140 technology

00:58:37.200 available to

00:58:38.700 others.

00:58:39.740 But I

00:58:40.400 would say

00:58:41.240 where you

00:58:42.600 are depends

00:58:44.120 on how much

00:58:44.760 you think

00:58:45.100 that's a

00:58:45.500 good idea.

00:58:46.480 If it

00:58:47.120 includes

00:58:47.600 copyright,

00:58:48.740 I don't

00:58:49.040 know if

00:58:49.300 it does,

00:58:49.740 they might

00:58:50.020 be thinking

00:58:50.420 more about

00:58:50.920 products,

00:58:52.040 but if it

00:58:52.800 includes

00:58:53.180 artistic

00:58:53.780 stuff,

00:58:55.400 I don't

00:58:56.240 think any

00:58:56.700 artist would

00:58:57.500 work anymore.

00:58:59.540 I mean,

00:58:59.820 I can't

00:59:00.720 imagine creating

00:59:01.480 a book that's

00:59:02.440 immediately

00:59:02.840 available from

00:59:04.960 25 other

00:59:05.900 sources the

00:59:06.640 day it's

00:59:07.000 published.

00:59:07.400 Oh wait,

00:59:08.340 that's the

00:59:08.820 exact current

00:59:09.800 situation.

00:59:11.880 Because China 0.94

00:59:13.040 rips off any

00:59:13.840 book that looks

00:59:14.500 like it's going

00:59:15.020 to do well,

00:59:15.900 they do it

00:59:16.360 immediately.

00:59:17.500 So if I

00:59:18.200 publish a new

00:59:18.820 book tomorrow,

00:59:20.260 there will be

00:59:20.960 10 Chinese

00:59:22.200 versions of

00:59:22.900 it almost

00:59:24.540 the same

00:59:25.040 time.

00:59:26.220 And the

00:59:26.980 consumers won't

00:59:27.700 know the

00:59:28.000 difference.

00:59:29.300 So we have

00:59:30.800 an enormous

00:59:31.680 IP problem

00:59:32.600 with creative

00:59:33.680 stuff.

00:59:34.240 If this were

00:59:34.940 the baseline

00:59:35.820 and we're not

00:59:36.960 already successful,

00:59:38.400 I wouldn't

00:59:39.240 even think of

00:59:39.900 going into

00:59:40.360 cartooning.

00:59:41.340 It wouldn't

00:59:41.700 make any

00:59:42.140 sense at

00:59:42.520 all.

00:59:42.740 I definitely

00:59:43.120 wouldn't write

00:59:43.600 a book.

00:59:44.960 And those

00:59:45.460 are the things

00:59:45.880 I've had the

00:59:46.660 most success

00:59:47.280 with and

00:59:48.040 have created

00:59:48.520 the most

00:59:48.900 value.

00:59:50.080 So I think

00:59:51.100 if you have

00:59:52.260 a dominant

00:59:53.040 car company

00:59:54.940 that is so

00:59:56.280 good at

00:59:56.620 manufacturing that

00:59:57.940 nobody can

00:59:58.480 catch up,

00:59:59.460 you can just

01:00:00.200 tell them what

01:00:00.740 you're doing.

01:00:01.700 Then they'll

01:00:02.440 never catch up.

01:00:03.680 here's my

01:00:04.600 IP.

01:00:05.620 Good luck.

01:00:07.000 Now, do you

01:00:07.360 think that

01:00:07.760 Elon Musk

01:00:08.380 will give

01:00:08.900 away his

01:00:09.760 AI that

01:00:11.840 drives the

01:00:12.700 self-driving

01:00:13.960 cars?

01:00:16.160 Do you

01:00:16.680 think that

01:00:17.020 would be on

01:00:17.420 the list of

01:00:17.900 things he

01:00:18.280 would give

01:00:18.660 away for

01:00:19.100 free?

01:00:21.080 It's the

01:00:21.680 most valuable

01:00:22.300 thing he

01:00:22.720 has.

01:00:23.620 What about

01:00:24.160 whatever is

01:00:24.820 going to

01:00:25.080 drive his

01:00:25.580 robots?

01:00:26.800 Do you

01:00:27.060 think he

01:00:27.320 wants to

01:00:27.660 give that

01:00:27.960 away for

01:00:28.380 free?

01:00:29.540 I could

01:00:30.260 be wrong,

01:00:30.840 but it

01:00:32.920 seems to

01:00:33.360 me that

01:00:33.900 that would

01:00:35.020 take the

01:00:35.560 value of

01:00:36.060 his robots

01:00:36.700 from a

01:00:37.680 trillion dollars

01:00:38.660 to a

01:00:40.020 billion dollars.

01:00:41.100 Is that

01:00:41.760 what he

01:00:41.980 has in

01:00:42.280 mind?

01:00:43.320 To give

01:00:44.080 up a

01:00:44.380 trillion

01:00:44.720 dollars?

01:00:46.160 I don't

01:00:46.800 know.

01:00:47.860 So I

01:00:48.560 think the

01:00:48.960 whole getting

01:00:50.120 rid of the

01:00:50.780 IP might be

01:00:52.660 something that

01:00:53.340 people who

01:00:53.880 are already

01:00:54.420 billionaires say

01:00:55.400 because they

01:00:57.520 already made

01:00:57.940 their money.

01:00:59.560 I just

01:01:00.420 don't know

01:01:00.760 how real

01:01:01.120 that is or

01:01:02.120 how limited

01:01:02.800 it would be

01:01:03.300 if they

01:01:03.620 got their

01:01:05.040 way.

01:01:05.600 I do

01:01:06.020 understand why

01:01:07.100 the IP is

01:01:09.180 an enormous

01:01:09.700 problem to

01:01:10.780 innovation.

01:01:12.140 Because if

01:01:12.740 you're trying

01:01:13.100 to invent

01:01:13.600 anything in

01:01:14.380 America, as

01:01:16.300 soon as you

01:01:16.720 put it out,

01:01:17.380 you're going to

01:01:17.800 get sued.

01:01:18.940 Because there's

01:01:19.620 somebody who

01:01:20.600 has some

01:01:22.420 kind of IP

01:01:23.440 that it

01:01:25.100 interferes with.

01:01:26.560 So there

01:01:27.240 must be some

01:01:27.720 middle ground.

01:01:28.800 According to

01:01:29.240 the Daily

01:01:29.620 Mail,

01:01:29.980 there used

01:01:30.920 to be in

01:01:31.740 1994 a

01:01:33.520 top-secret

01:01:34.260 plan to

01:01:34.960 turn soldiers

01:01:35.780 gay, but 0.90

01:01:37.340 not our own

01:01:38.080 soldiers.

01:01:39.020 There was

01:01:39.360 going to be

01:01:39.780 a gay 0.72

01:01:40.780 bomb that

01:01:42.680 was filled

01:01:43.420 with chemical

01:01:44.220 aphrodisiacs

01:01:45.280 that they would

01:01:46.400 drop on enemy

01:01:47.200 soldiers to

01:01:48.180 make them

01:01:48.600 irresistibly

01:01:49.420 attracted to

01:01:50.200 one another.

01:01:50.760 Now, the

01:01:54.580 plan was

01:01:55.540 ultimately

01:01:56.020 scrapped, but

01:01:57.620 apparently it

01:01:58.360 was seriously

01:01:59.420 considered that

01:02:01.140 they would drop

01:02:01.680 some chemicals

01:02:02.360 on the

01:02:02.840 enemies, and

01:02:03.960 the enemies

01:02:04.360 would just

01:02:04.900 start, I

01:02:06.140 don't know,

01:02:06.320 giving each

01:02:06.760 other hand

01:02:07.240 jobs instead

01:02:07.900 of firing

01:02:08.340 guns, and

01:02:09.500 then they

01:02:09.820 could just

01:02:10.160 overrun their

01:02:10.820 positions when

01:02:11.700 they were

01:02:11.920 exhausted.

01:02:12.300 So, I

01:02:14.680 like that

01:02:15.220 outside-the-box

01:02:16.260 thinking.

01:02:17.500 Get it?

01:02:18.540 Outside-the-box?

01:02:20.480 Never mind.

01:02:21.060 So, Trump

01:02:25.240 has a plan,

01:02:26.420 according to

01:02:26.840 the Financial

01:02:27.320 Times, to

01:02:29.500 stockpile

01:02:30.280 deep-sea

01:02:30.980 critical minerals

01:02:32.160 to counter

01:02:33.240 China.

01:02:34.520 So, apparently

01:02:35.180 there are

01:02:36.780 just nodules

01:02:38.400 on the bottom

01:02:39.020 of the ocean

01:02:39.620 that are

01:02:40.260 filled with

01:02:41.120 stuff, rare

01:02:42.960 earth stuff,

01:02:43.840 like things

01:02:44.740 we need for

01:02:45.200 batteries.

01:02:46.760 Which ones?

01:02:48.280 So, they've

01:02:48.700 got nickels,

01:02:51.060 and cobalt,

01:02:52.360 and copper,

01:02:53.660 and manganese

01:02:54.520 in them.

01:02:55.140 Of course, we

01:02:55.600 need a lot

01:02:56.200 more rare

01:02:56.940 earth stuff

01:02:57.440 than that,

01:02:58.220 but those

01:02:59.060 would be

01:02:59.300 ones that

01:03:00.000 are especially

01:03:00.560 good for

01:03:00.940 batteries and

01:03:01.560 electrical wiring

01:03:02.460 and munitions.

01:03:04.280 So, Trump's

01:03:05.440 going to start

01:03:05.940 stockpiling that.

01:03:08.340 That wouldn't

01:03:09.120 get us to

01:03:09.620 the point where

01:03:11.320 we could

01:03:11.700 instantly produce

01:03:12.760 it on our

01:03:13.180 own.

01:03:13.620 We'd still

01:03:14.060 need to be

01:03:14.480 able to

01:03:14.700 process it.

01:03:16.160 So, the

01:03:17.260 whole, how

01:03:17.900 do you process

01:03:18.620 this stuff

01:03:19.300 needs to get

01:03:20.220 solved.

01:03:21.060 But, seems

01:03:22.260 like a good

01:03:22.760 idea.

01:03:23.940 I feel like

01:03:24.940 if we're not

01:03:26.260 putting our

01:03:27.360 entire shoulders

01:03:28.300 into making

01:03:29.400 sure that, you

01:03:31.020 know, we have

01:03:31.500 pharmaceuticals and

01:03:33.040 rare earth
