00:00:00.000 All right, today I'm going to be practicing my segues.
00:00:08.800 Segway meaning transition from one story to the other.
00:00:15.880 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:22.680 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:24.480 And honestly, you've never had a better Friday.
00:00:27.920 I mean, you've had a good Friday, but you've never had one this good.
00:00:33.680 But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand
00:00:38.760 with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of
00:00:43.220 tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:47.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:49.500 I like coffee.
00:00:51.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,
00:00:54.700 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:56.440 Whatever it's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip.
00:00:59.540 It happens right now.
00:01:00.980 Go.
00:01:06.860 Terrific.
00:01:09.180 That's the good stuff.
00:01:10.860 Rawr.
00:01:12.320 All right, you ready for this?
00:01:13.660 So, according to a study that's been written about in The Conversation, Daniel Jolly and
00:01:22.920 Ewan Dinnick, they say that there's a new research that shows that poor sleep quality
00:01:29.580 can make you believe in conspiracy theories.
00:01:34.660 Has anybody had that experience where you wake up and you didn't have a good sleep and all
00:01:39.300 of a sudden you're like, oh, we didn't land on the moon?
00:01:42.280 Yeah.
00:01:43.660 Anybody?
00:01:44.340 No?
00:01:46.760 But here's what's wrong with this study, according to me.
00:01:50.460 The way they studied whether sleep determines how much you believe in a conspiracy theory
00:01:56.440 is they came up with a fake one.
00:01:59.300 And then they just had people evaluate the fake one.
00:02:03.860 And then toward the end of their article about how they've done this research, they talked
00:02:11.000 about how important it is to understand conspiracy theorists.
00:02:15.180 Because conspiracy theorists might be involved with vaccine hesitancy, climate change denial, and
00:02:23.900 violent extremism.
00:02:25.240 So, here's the problem with that kind of research.
00:02:30.560 It really kind of requires that the researchers either use a conspiracy theory test that nobody
00:02:38.020 really believes as a real conspiracy theory, that's just sort of a made-up one.
00:02:42.280 But as soon as they test anything that's real, as in people really believe it, like vaccine hesitancy or climate change, then they need to be the judges of what's true and what's a conspiracy.
00:02:59.560 And I'm not sure they're good at it.
00:03:03.540 What if the researchers themselves didn't get enough sleep?
00:03:08.040 They would come to work, and they'd be like, I don't think we landed on the moon.
00:03:12.200 How much sleep did you get?
00:03:14.000 I got about four hours.
00:03:15.420 I couldn't wait to get to work.
00:03:17.320 Yep.
00:03:18.660 So, I think you would need to be extra smart to see that conspiracies are real.
00:03:25.820 So, here's what I think.
00:03:26.700 I think if you don't get enough sleep, your brain will still want to give you an answer to anything that's confusing.
00:03:36.800 So, the less sleep you get, the more likely you might glom onto some simple conspiracy theory.
00:03:44.560 But the real conspiracy theories, you know, the ones that have lots of detail, and you'd have to really understand how all the moving parts work.
00:03:54.640 Like later, I'm going to tell you about the Biden administration completely ending free speech in America, or attempting to.
00:04:03.100 And it has a whole bunch of moving parts.
00:04:07.120 You would have to be really unsleepy to even understand the whole conspiracy before you could even have an opinion on it.
00:04:15.220 So, I've got a feeling that the two things that make you believe in conspiracies are being sleepy, but also being very awake.
00:04:25.640 The two extremes.
00:04:29.320 The place where you're probably, you know, not believing in the conspiracies is, oh, you had a pretty good sleep, but you're not really keyed into all the details of what's going on in the real world.
00:04:42.080 Anyway, the so-called Tesla Diner in Santa Monica is almost open, and it's going to be kind of cool.
00:04:53.940 So, you'll be able to go there and buy food, and the staff will allegedly, we don't have confirmation of this, be on skates.
00:05:03.500 So, it's like a diner with skates that shows two big screens that have 30-minute movies that are designed to be the right length for how long your car charges.
00:05:17.000 And I guess anybody can go there to eat.
00:05:20.080 You don't have to be charging your car, and it doesn't need to be a Tesla.
00:05:23.640 You can charge any electric vehicle.
00:05:25.200 And here's what I love about it.
00:05:28.160 I love the fact that they made something where you could take the kids, and you could turn it into an event.
00:05:36.040 How many people are sitting around on the weekend and thinking, ah, I need to take my car to get it charged, but, you know, I also got to watch the kids, and they're bored.
00:05:47.060 And so, you can just put them in the car and say, hey, family, we're going to lunch.
00:05:52.480 And you would go to this cool diner, and you would watch a cool movie, and the staff would be skating around, so it would be more interesting than not, and get your car charged.
00:06:05.580 So, it's sort of experimental in the sense that nobody knows how it's going to work out, but I love it as an idea.
00:06:13.040 As a concept, it feels like it understands everything about human interaction, right?
00:06:21.560 It's completely permissive.
00:06:23.580 You know, you don't have to charge your car, so it's not, you know, it's not like we have too many rules.
00:06:31.780 And it's just automatically interesting.
00:06:34.300 You know, if there were a place I could go where the staff is on skates, I would go there.
00:06:41.140 Even if the food wasn't amazing.
00:06:44.180 And who knows, maybe the food is amazing.
00:06:46.320 But it seems like a tremendous thing to test.
00:06:52.200 Well, there's a little update on the Daily Mail about the Area 51 linked Navy sailor, this is the title, who saw the latest tic-tac UFOs rising from the Pacific.
00:07:04.320 You know, it's always tic-tac UFOs now.
00:07:08.900 Tic-tac UFO, tic-tac UFO.
00:07:10.820 And there's nothing about the update that makes me think that there are any alien ships at all or that the tic-tacs are really anything.
00:07:20.180 And they never leave a heat signature, which is a little suspicious.
00:07:25.400 And they always move at speeds that cannot be understood.
00:07:30.640 And often there's more than one of them.
00:07:32.500 And they operate in unison, you know, in ways that we can't even understand.
00:07:37.100 And synchronized flight.
00:07:39.400 So, all right.
00:07:40.020 So, I don't believe a single thing about any of these tic-tacs rising from the ocean, caught it on radar.
00:07:47.340 I don't believe any of it.
00:07:49.520 However, it does make me wonder about the following.
00:07:53.680 You know how every time there's some mystery, you always end up finding out that somebody's making money off it?
00:07:59.580 So, is it possible, and I'm just going to put this out here, it's not a belief, but it's a question.
00:08:08.900 Is it possible that the PR and marketing people that make tic-tacs like to insert this story a little bit more often than it might happen naturally?
00:08:20.440 If you were the PR people for the actual candy or the, I don't know what they call it, but the breath freshener called the tic-tac, wouldn't it be good for a business to every two months, three months, insert an update onto the story about the tic-tacs, even if nothing's happened?
00:08:41.640 So, this is one of those, literally nothing new has happened, so it's just regurgitating an old tic-tac story, and I'm thinking, hmm, who would have a financial motive to continually recycle a tic-tac-related UFO story?
00:09:00.980 Tic-tac, because once it gets in your mind, you're thinking, oh, I could use a tic-tac, I'll pick one up.
00:09:07.800 I'm just saying, it's not an accusation, I'm just saying that if the tic-tac company had figured out to do this as a marketing scheme, I would be so impressed, because I think it would work, just to keep it in people's minds, because it's not like a negative interaction.
00:09:28.120 You know, we don't hate the aliens, we think they're maybe interesting, so maybe it's a reason to get some tic-tacs, you never know.

00:10:37.040 Here's something kind of cool.
00:10:40.460 As you know, China is building naval ships like crazy, and the United States has sort of forgotten how to do shipbuilding.
00:10:49.460 So that's a problem, because for decades the U.S. Navy has kept the world safe.
00:10:55.660 Well, that's our version of it anyway.
00:10:58.020 By essentially controlling the oceans, because nobody had a navy like ours.
00:11:03.360 But China is developing a navy like ours, if not a bigger one, and we don't have the ability to keep up.
00:11:13.160 However, according to Tom Hale and IFL Science, there's a startup that's from 2024, so it's brand new.
00:11:24.700 And it's being led by a team that used to work for Amazon Robotics and iRobot and the U.S. Navy,
00:11:31.500 so they're the right qualifications.
00:11:34.100 And they want to make unmanned, or let's say unpersoned, because I'm so woke, unpersoned, ships for shipping, especially for shipping goods.
00:11:48.900 So they'd be crewless.
00:11:50.400 Let's call them crewless ships.
00:11:52.860 Now, what is interesting about this is that I'm sort of reading a little bit between the lines here,
00:12:00.500 so this is my own assumption, is that if you make a ship that doesn't need to have any human being on it,
00:12:07.840 and it's just AI-based, it's got to be cheaper and a whole lot easier to build, right?
00:12:14.020 Because you don't have to worry about humans.
00:12:17.620 There's just no humans to be on it to worry about.
00:12:20.800 So, you know, there's no bathrooms.
00:12:23.200 There's no food.
00:12:24.680 There's no, you know, there's no AC, maybe.
00:12:28.580 I don't know.
00:12:29.000 So, in theory, we can build these drone crewless ships, and we would be able to do it maybe kind of quickly.
00:12:40.500 And some of these could be for military, and some could be shipping.
00:12:44.320 And here's what they think would be the benefits.
00:12:47.380 Lower fuel costs, smaller carbon footprint, more cargo space, because no humans.
00:12:55.240 And they say that even the pirates might lose interest if there's no one on board to pay a ransom.
00:13:02.980 Well, I feel like the pirates might figure out how to threaten to destroy the ship,
00:13:10.100 but they wouldn't know who to talk to, I guess.
00:13:13.900 So, it might be a problem.
00:13:16.440 The pirates would be like, where's all the people we threaten?
00:13:20.000 Ah, arg, we have no people to threaten.
00:13:23.400 What do we do now?
00:13:24.340 Well, we'll say we'll destroy the cargo unless they give us money.
00:13:29.000 And then they'd say, who gives us money?
00:13:31.760 There's nobody on the ship.
00:13:34.080 Well, but we'll contact the mother company.
00:13:38.940 How do we know who the mother company is?
00:13:42.420 How do you know who owns it?
00:13:45.100 So, might be a problem for the pirates.
00:13:47.540 Well, let's check in on Trump and see if he's said anything funny lately.
00:13:53.380 Oh, yeah.
00:13:55.240 He recently said, he said this before, but he said it at a press thing.
00:14:00.240 Jimmy Carter died a happy man.
00:14:02.400 You know why?
00:14:03.460 Because he wasn't the worst president.
00:14:05.400 Joe Biden was.
00:14:06.240 Now, that makes me laugh every time I hear it.
00:14:11.740 And I'm going to give you a humor lesson.
00:14:16.340 And it goes like this.
00:14:17.620 The type of humor that works depends entirely on the situation, right?
00:14:25.060 So, it's not as if funny is funny, a joke's a joke.
00:14:28.760 That's not true at all.
00:14:30.860 There are things that are funny in person that you just say sort of off the top of your head
00:14:36.880 at an event that are hilarious that wouldn't be funny in any other context.
00:14:42.940 So, if you were to write this as a, let's say, a joke within a play, the audience would think,
00:14:51.480 that's not that funny.
00:14:55.720 But if you say it in a press event, and you're the sitting president of the United States,
00:15:01.420 and Jimmy Carter has only been deceased, what, a few months?
00:15:06.820 It's still way too fresh.
00:15:08.420 And Biden's only been out of office a few months, and he's still alive.
00:15:15.440 It's so inappropriate, but not illegal.
00:15:19.840 I mean, you know, he has the right to say it.
00:15:23.120 So, what makes it funny is not that it's funny as a joke.
00:15:27.680 What makes it funny is he's not supposed to do it.
00:15:31.160 And Trump is the master of doing humor that's only funny because he did it live.
00:15:37.820 And you weren't supposed to talk that way.
00:15:40.840 You know, some of his posts are the same thing.
00:15:42.920 It's just something you're not supposed to say.
00:15:45.400 So, it's funny because it's inappropriate.
00:15:48.620 And Trump knows that for sure.
00:15:52.080 Well, according to the post-millennial, Hayden Cunningham is writing,
00:15:56.620 that Americans between the age of 18 to 21
00:16:00.300 are overwhelmingly supporting the GOP,
00:16:05.600 according to a Yale Youth Poll.
00:16:08.440 Now, here's why I think that might be true.
00:16:14.520 The younger the person, the less they care about the policy,
00:16:20.000 and the more they care about the vibe.
00:16:22.960 Would you say that's true?
00:16:24.020 If you're talking to a, you know, 45-year-old who follows politics
00:16:29.980 and cares about all the details, you know,
00:16:32.840 they might care about policy a lot.
00:16:35.700 But if you're talking to an 18 to 21-year-old,
00:16:38.760 they couldn't describe a single policy.
00:16:41.800 But they can feel.
00:16:44.200 And I think what Trump brings to the party
00:16:47.540 is like that joke about Biden.
00:16:53.640 It's inappropriateness.
00:16:55.900 And if you're 18 to 21,
00:16:57.740 you're really drawn to people breaking rules.
00:17:01.460 If you're a rule breaker, and I'm 19,
00:17:05.100 I want to see more.
00:17:07.540 I want to see exactly what you're up to.
00:17:09.840 He did what?
00:17:11.200 He challenged the courts?
00:17:13.100 Hmm, now you have my interest.
00:17:15.360 He did what?
00:17:16.180 He said a joke that nobody's supposed to say?
00:17:19.620 Hmm.
00:17:20.720 I'd like to see a little more of that.
00:17:23.800 He did what?
00:17:25.080 He closed the border using a bunch of tricks
00:17:28.100 that the Supreme Court can't even figure out
00:17:30.800 if it's legal or illegal?
00:17:32.600 Huh.
00:17:33.640 He deported MS-13 guy to one of those terrible jails
00:17:37.980 in El Salvador?
00:17:40.460 Hmm, did he now?
00:17:41.560 So there's something about Trump
00:17:44.760 continually being the thorn in the side
00:17:48.120 of how you're supposed to do things
00:17:49.820 that's very appealing to people,
00:17:53.720 the younger they are.
00:17:56.000 Now, I've said this before,
00:17:57.620 but this trend of the youngest people
00:18:00.460 being pro-Trump,
00:18:02.380 I noticed this several years ago.
00:18:06.240 Locally, I won't give you more details than that,
00:18:09.460 but I can tell you that when I asked around
00:18:12.280 of young people,
00:18:15.240 you know, wherever I could run into one,
00:18:17.580 a family member or otherwise,
00:18:19.720 and I'd ask the question,
00:18:21.580 there was no wokeness.
00:18:23.840 There wasn't a single woke bone
00:18:26.060 in the boys,
00:18:28.300 in the boys.
00:18:29.080 Now, the girls could be a little bit mixed,
00:18:33.820 but when you were talking to boys,
00:18:36.220 100% anti-woke.
00:18:39.300 Absolutely.
00:18:40.200 They didn't want to be,
00:18:41.600 they didn't want their,
00:18:42.620 they didn't want their speech regulated.
00:18:46.240 They didn't want to have to use a pronoun.
00:18:49.240 Absolutely not.
00:18:51.160 So boys, I think,
00:18:53.380 responded to the anti-woke part.
00:18:55.180 So,
00:18:57.100 according to Fox News,
00:19:01.820 Peter Pinedo,
00:19:02.960 the Supreme Court
00:19:04.020 is going to make a big decision
00:19:06.420 about district judges.
00:19:09.800 So you know how these district judges
00:19:12.680 have been doing rulings
00:19:15.320 that would prevent Trump from doing things
00:19:17.620 even though they're just a district judge.
00:19:20.500 They're making rulings that affected,
00:19:22.620 you know, everything in the country,
00:19:24.100 which most people don't think
00:19:27.400 is what they were supposed to be doing.
00:19:29.320 They should have stuck the things
00:19:30.660 that are in their domain
00:19:31.780 and they're definitely on things
00:19:35.140 that are, you know,
00:19:36.680 completely national
00:19:37.980 and not in their district.
00:19:40.820 So,
00:19:41.540 it turns out
00:19:42.360 that the Supreme Court has,
00:19:45.580 it's taken,
00:19:48.400 I guess it took three separate
00:19:50.140 nationwide injunctions.
00:19:52.200 So it's looking at three separate ones
00:19:54.220 and then it combined them together.
00:19:56.660 So it consolidated the three cases
00:19:59.460 into one set,
00:20:01.240 to one situation, I guess.
00:20:04.460 And so they're going to see
00:20:05.860 oral arguments about that
00:20:07.460 and they'll decide
00:20:08.720 whether district judges
00:20:09.960 can issue rulings
00:20:11.220 that affect the entire country.
00:20:14.180 So this is exactly what you wanted.
00:20:16.740 you wanted the Supreme Court
00:20:19.600 to say,
00:20:20.540 can these district judges
00:20:22.820 make rulings that affect
00:20:25.660 the entire country
00:20:27.200 when it doesn't seem like
00:20:29.640 that was ever an intention
00:20:31.340 of the Constitution
00:20:32.700 or our system.
00:20:34.540 So,
00:20:35.380 I'm really happy about this.
00:20:36.760 this would be
00:20:38.820 a gigantic
00:20:39.960 clarifier
00:20:41.280 and it would free
00:20:43.140 the Trump administration
00:20:44.720 to do the things
00:20:45.880 that they've been trying to do
00:20:47.340 without these federal judges
00:20:49.500 that,
00:20:50.340 of course,
00:20:50.640 are being judge-shopped
00:20:51.860 without them getting in the way.
00:20:54.900 Now,
00:20:55.220 I'm assuming,
00:20:56.740 I'm getting ahead of myself
00:20:58.440 because I'm assuming
00:20:59.720 that the Supreme Court
00:21:01.000 is going to say,
00:21:02.100 no,
00:21:03.380 that's the Supreme Court.
00:21:04.680 I don't see a situation
00:21:07.660 where the Supreme Court says,
00:21:09.820 oh,
00:21:10.120 yeah,
00:21:10.480 you can take our power
00:21:11.760 and you can just have our power
00:21:14.340 and do it at the district level.
00:21:16.480 Is that even possible?
00:21:18.840 It seems like there's no way
00:21:20.600 it could go the wrong way
00:21:22.480 because the Supreme Court
00:21:24.200 would be looking out
00:21:25.140 for its own power base,
00:21:27.360 if you want to call it that.
00:21:29.940 And from their perspective,
00:21:32.040 it would just be
00:21:32.780 probably protecting
00:21:34.460 the Constitution
00:21:35.440 and protecting
00:21:36.600 the Supreme Court,
00:21:38.280 et cetera.
00:21:38.880 So I think
00:21:39.880 it can only go one way,
00:21:41.840 but we'll see.
00:21:44.120 Claudia was leaving
00:21:45.140 for her pickleball tournament.
00:21:46.500 I've been visualizing
00:21:47.300 my match all week.
00:21:48.980 She was so focused
00:21:49.880 on visualizing
00:21:50.680 that she didn't see
00:21:51.560 the column behind her car
00:21:52.720 on her backhand side.
00:21:54.920 Good thing Claudia
00:21:55.980 is with Intact,
00:21:56.920 the insurer
00:21:57.480 with the largest network
00:21:58.600 of auto service centers
00:21:59.600 in the country.
00:22:00.340 Everything was taken care
00:22:01.720 of under one roof
00:22:02.620 and she was on her way
00:22:03.540 in a rental car
00:22:04.260 in no time.
00:22:05.180 I made it to my tournament
00:22:06.500 and lost in the first round.
00:22:08.640 But you got there on time.
00:22:10.500 Intact Insurance,
00:22:11.640 your auto service ace.
00:22:13.080 Certain conditions apply.
00:22:15.380 Well, let's check up
00:22:17.040 on all the criminals.
00:22:19.620 Have you noticed
00:22:20.360 that the news
00:22:21.080 is often about criminals?
00:22:24.500 In a whole bunch
00:22:25.380 of different contexts,
00:22:26.200 there's always
00:22:26.620 a criminal involved.
00:22:28.580 So the criminal today
00:22:29.980 is the Mayo Clinic.
00:22:31.880 The libs of TikTok
00:22:33.100 discovered that
00:22:34.320 the Mayo Clinic
00:22:35.920 simply renamed
00:22:37.240 their DEI office.
00:22:39.120 You know,
00:22:39.300 now that DEI
00:22:40.180 is officially
00:22:41.620 and federally illegal
00:22:43.500 and you could be banned
00:22:46.120 from getting federal funding
00:22:47.460 if you got any DEI stuff.
00:22:50.400 So apparently,
00:22:51.060 the Mayo Clinic
00:22:51.820 just renamed
00:22:52.640 their DEI office
00:22:54.380 to the Office of Belonging.
00:22:56.620 the Office of Belonging.
00:23:02.580 And all they did
00:23:03.720 is change the names.
00:23:05.400 But, you know,
00:23:05.860 it's the same person
00:23:06.620 doing the same job.
00:23:10.120 So they're in trouble.
00:23:13.200 They got some risk there.
00:23:17.040 And then there's,
00:23:18.660 here's one of the cases
00:23:20.480 that I guess
00:23:21.140 the Supreme Court
00:23:22.100 will be ruling on
00:23:24.760 directly or indirectly.
00:23:25.840 So according to Fox News,
00:23:28.840 you know how Doge
00:23:30.020 was going to rewrite
00:23:31.100 these Social Security programs
00:23:33.020 so that they would be
00:23:34.460 deficient
00:23:35.180 and not written
00:23:35.960 in 100-year-old code?
00:23:39.200 Well, a federal judge,
00:23:40.960 one of these district judges,
00:23:43.000 just paused Doge
00:23:45.000 and said they can't
00:23:46.040 access the Social Security data
00:23:48.280 even to fight fraud,
00:23:50.280 which was the point of it.
00:23:52.340 Now they have to delete
00:23:53.840 their non-anonymized data,
00:23:56.600 which probably
00:23:58.700 just ruins the whole thing.
00:24:00.420 They have to undo
00:24:01.720 some of their
00:24:02.540 smart code upgrades.
00:24:04.380 They've got to jump
00:24:04.900 through a bunch of hoops
00:24:05.900 bureaucratically
00:24:06.760 to get anything done.
00:24:08.120 So basically,
00:24:09.100 a federal judge,
00:24:10.520 they probably shouldn't have
00:24:12.320 any jurisdiction over it,
00:24:13.820 and the Supreme Court
00:24:14.740 is looking at
00:24:15.600 exactly that now,
00:24:16.600 simply just pushed
00:24:20.140 a bunch of bureaucracy
00:24:21.260 in front of Doge
00:24:22.640 so they can't get
00:24:23.380 their job done.
00:24:26.560 Incredible.
00:24:28.080 So here,
00:24:29.300 the federal judge
00:24:30.480 is taking the side
00:24:33.120 of Social Security fraudsters.
00:24:35.820 To me,
00:24:36.580 they're both criminals.
00:24:38.620 Now, technically,
00:24:39.580 there's no crime whatsoever
00:24:41.120 that the federal judge
00:24:43.580 violated,
00:24:44.560 but I think
00:24:45.440 the Supreme Court
00:24:46.380 is about ready
00:24:48.160 to tell them
00:24:48.720 that you can't do that.
00:24:50.820 So is that a crime?
00:24:53.120 To me,
00:24:53.700 it looks like
00:24:54.260 somehow the federal judges
00:24:56.020 and the Social Security fraudsters
00:24:58.120 are on the same team
00:24:59.200 because they're operating
00:25:00.880 that way.
00:25:01.940 I mean,
00:25:02.220 I don't think
00:25:02.740 it's intentional,
00:25:04.000 but they're operating
00:25:05.320 like they're part
00:25:06.220 of the same criminal
00:25:07.380 enterprise.
00:25:10.080 Just,
00:25:10.880 you know,
00:25:11.160 the way it looks,
00:25:12.000 not the truth.
00:25:13.320 All right,
00:25:14.280 here's another criminal situation.
00:25:16.360 This time,
00:25:16.900 the criminals
00:25:17.440 are the FBI
00:25:18.420 and the Department of Justice
00:25:19.860 under Biden,
00:25:22.080 not the current group,
00:25:24.080 although some of these criminals
00:25:25.880 are still working
00:25:26.960 in those places.
00:25:28.820 So do you remember
00:25:29.620 Brandon Straka?
00:25:31.900 He was the walk-away guy
00:25:33.700 who was doing the walk-away
00:25:35.520 from the Democrats
00:25:36.560 and become a Republican,
00:25:37.940 which is what he had done.
00:25:38.900 So he had attended
00:25:40.780 the January 6th event
00:25:42.740 and apparently done
00:25:44.720 nothing illegal.
00:25:46.620 Just nothing.
00:25:48.280 But they ginned up
00:25:49.920 some charges
00:25:50.680 and said he did something
00:25:53.520 that he didn't do.
00:25:55.040 And next thing you know,
00:25:56.460 he got prosecuted.
00:25:58.240 But he got a,
00:26:00.580 he was released
00:26:02.000 by Trump's action
00:26:03.880 of his pardons.
00:26:05.420 So he got pardoned.
00:26:07.660 And do you think
00:26:08.760 he was done?
00:26:10.960 Here's the problem.
00:26:12.820 If you try to jail
00:26:14.480 an activist
00:26:15.260 who has a background
00:26:17.020 in film,
00:26:18.440 what do you think
00:26:19.180 is going to happen
00:26:19.740 after that?
00:26:20.500 If you unfairly,
00:26:24.000 meaning criminally,
00:26:25.540 because you knew
00:26:26.120 you were doing it unfairly,
00:26:27.680 if you criminally
00:26:29.180 convict somebody
00:26:32.000 who is an activist
00:26:33.600 with experience in film,
00:26:36.960 do you think
00:26:37.760 he's going to get out?
00:26:39.140 And when he's pardoned,
00:26:40.660 do you think
00:26:41.080 he's going to create
00:26:41.820 a documentary
00:26:42.720 that outs
00:26:44.140 every single one
00:26:45.080 of these fucking cunts?
00:26:47.400 That's what he's doing
00:26:48.560 by name.
00:26:50.940 He's showing
00:26:51.740 the actual criminals,
00:26:53.540 some of them
00:26:54.160 still working,
00:26:55.560 and he's going to show
00:26:56.660 every part
00:26:57.520 of their crimes,
00:26:59.120 and it's going to be,
00:27:00.180 and I guess
00:27:00.980 it's already completed,
00:27:02.520 a documentary
00:27:03.600 to show
00:27:04.920 just the criminal behavior
00:27:06.500 of the people
00:27:07.360 who put him away.
00:27:09.740 How much
00:27:10.540 do I love that?
00:27:12.080 I can't even express it.
00:27:13.940 I love it so much.
00:27:15.560 And I love the fact
00:27:16.640 that he's naming names.
00:27:18.460 He's like,
00:27:18.860 this person
00:27:19.420 still works
00:27:20.140 for either
00:27:21.120 the FBI
00:27:21.760 or the DOJ.
00:27:23.280 This person
00:27:24.100 still works
00:27:24.700 their why.
00:27:26.140 They're criminals.
00:27:28.620 And
00:27:29.140 if I had to guess,
00:27:31.360 they're all
00:27:32.760 going to lose
00:27:33.180 their jobs
00:27:33.820 over the documentary.
00:27:36.520 Because
00:27:37.040 really,
00:27:37.920 all he has to do
00:27:38.560 is pull together
00:27:39.480 what actually happened
00:27:40.740 in the real world.
00:27:41.580 He doesn't have
00:27:42.040 to make anything up.
00:27:43.860 He just has to say,
00:27:45.220 this happened.
00:27:46.500 This happened.
00:27:47.700 And it's probably
00:27:48.500 well documented.
00:27:50.180 So I've told you before
00:27:51.120 the documentary effect
00:27:52.660 will make,
00:27:54.280 the documentary effect
00:27:55.840 is dangerous
00:27:57.300 in that
00:27:58.400 it's generally
00:27:59.440 a one-sided presentation
00:28:00.740 that's very persuasive.
00:28:02.440 But
00:28:03.780 I trust
00:28:05.160 that
00:28:05.580 Brandon Straka,
00:28:06.940 since we've all
00:28:07.520 been watching him,
00:28:08.240 he's a public figure,
00:28:09.800 I trust
00:28:10.600 that his documentary
00:28:11.800 will be
00:28:12.480 equally persuasive
00:28:13.900 and it's not
00:28:15.800 going to show
00:28:16.160 the other side
00:28:17.040 because the other side
00:28:18.660 is a bunch
00:28:19.240 of fucking criminals.
00:28:21.680 And
00:28:22.160 I think
00:28:23.200 they're going to pay.
00:28:24.860 So
00:28:25.220 time for a little
00:28:27.640 justice.
00:28:28.120 here's what
00:28:35.960 Brandon says,
00:28:36.880 after four years
00:28:37.780 of having the truth
00:28:38.800 silenced
00:28:39.540 by a corrupt
00:28:40.320 plea deal,
00:28:41.380 I can finally
00:28:42.260 share what really
00:28:43.120 happened without
00:28:43.760 fear of reprisal
00:28:44.900 thanks to my
00:28:46.060 pardon.
00:28:47.560 So you're going to
00:28:48.060 see never-before-seen
00:28:49.180 footage proving
00:28:50.380 his innocence.
00:28:51.480 Now,
00:28:51.720 I didn't have a link
00:28:52.480 for that,
00:28:53.520 but I'm sure
00:28:54.840 that'll pop up
00:28:55.640 on social media
00:28:56.400 pretty fast.
00:28:58.120 All right,
00:28:58.840 so good luck,
00:28:59.640 Brandon.
00:29:02.780 According to
00:29:03.500 Reclaim the Net,
00:29:05.720 that's a publication
00:29:06.720 Christina Moss
00:29:07.780 is writing,
00:29:09.080 that there are
00:29:09.580 some declassified
00:29:11.000 Biden-era
00:29:11.820 domestic terror
00:29:13.120 strategy
00:29:13.840 documents
00:29:14.980 that show
00:29:16.940 this broad
00:29:17.600 surveillance,
00:29:18.480 tech partnership,
00:29:19.400 and global
00:29:19.880 speech regulation
00:29:20.960 agenda.
00:29:22.340 Now,
00:29:22.960 that's pretty
00:29:23.360 complicated,
00:29:23.940 isn't it?
00:29:25.520 Let me
00:29:26.080 simplify it.
00:29:26.940 the Biden
00:29:28.480 administration
00:29:29.280 put massive
00:29:32.140 mechanisms in
00:29:34.000 place to
00:29:35.300 destroy free
00:29:36.460 speech in
00:29:37.380 America.
00:29:39.460 That's what that
00:29:40.580 is without the
00:29:41.360 technical part.
00:29:42.820 The Biden
00:29:43.240 administration,
00:29:44.540 very directly,
00:29:46.840 and I'm not,
00:29:47.760 there's no
00:29:48.080 hyperbole here.
00:29:49.500 This isn't,
00:29:50.060 there's no
00:29:50.360 exaggeration.
00:29:51.120 The Biden
00:29:52.220 administration
00:29:52.900 tried very
00:29:54.420 hard,
00:29:55.100 and they
00:29:55.320 would have
00:29:55.600 succeeded
00:29:56.060 if Trump
00:29:57.180 had not
00:29:57.560 been elected.
00:29:59.700 They had
00:30:00.680 destroyed
00:30:01.260 free speech
00:30:03.140 in America.
00:30:04.780 And it's
00:30:06.140 complicated,
00:30:07.080 so it's hard
00:30:08.380 to even
00:30:08.840 understand.
00:30:09.900 So probably
00:30:10.560 nobody will
00:30:11.140 ever be held
00:30:11.880 accountable for
00:30:12.640 it.
00:30:13.240 But probably
00:30:13.960 one of the
00:30:14.380 greatest crimes
00:30:15.540 or attempted
00:30:16.260 crimes in the
00:30:18.700 history of
00:30:19.240 the United
00:30:19.600 States.
00:30:20.780 If I told
00:30:21.580 you that
00:30:22.080 somebody put
00:30:23.260 together a
00:30:24.000 plot to
00:30:26.300 end free
00:30:27.460 speech in
00:30:28.000 America,
00:30:29.400 and knowing
00:30:30.100 that free
00:30:30.560 speech is
00:30:31.180 the bedrock
00:30:32.940 primary right
00:30:35.180 that makes
00:30:35.980 all the other
00:30:36.580 ones possible,
00:30:37.520 you could argue
00:30:38.300 the Second
00:30:38.780 Amendment does
00:30:39.480 that, but I
00:30:40.620 think the
00:30:40.960 First Amendment
00:30:41.580 is even
00:30:42.300 more on
00:30:42.980 point.
00:30:45.540 So here's
00:30:48.420 the basic
00:30:48.920 idea.
00:30:50.760 So the
00:30:51.640 Biden
00:30:52.800 administration
00:30:53.280 was worried
00:30:54.100 about something
00:30:54.580 called
00:30:54.920 misinformation
00:30:55.660 and all
00:30:57.060 those
00:30:57.280 misinformation
00:30:57.780 people.
00:30:58.820 So they
00:30:59.080 created this
00:30:59.800 gigantic
00:31:00.580 structure,
00:31:01.600 which even
00:31:02.720 connected to
00:31:03.740 international
00:31:04.500 efforts to
00:31:05.340 also fix
00:31:07.180 misinformation.
00:31:08.960 But like
00:31:10.500 the criminals
00:31:11.260 that they
00:31:11.860 were and
00:31:12.700 are, they
00:31:14.220 didn't define
00:31:14.960 misinformation.
00:31:17.020 That's the
00:31:17.760 end of free
00:31:18.240 speech.
00:31:19.260 Because they
00:31:20.100 can say what
00:31:21.180 you say about
00:31:22.020 vaccinations is
00:31:23.280 misinformation, so
00:31:24.660 you must be
00:31:25.320 banned from
00:31:26.380 social media.
00:31:27.800 That's the
00:31:28.540 end of free
00:31:29.180 speech.
00:31:30.020 There's no
00:31:30.680 other way to
00:31:31.280 look at that.
00:31:32.580 They could
00:31:32.980 say if you're
00:31:34.320 saying things
00:31:35.080 about, let's
00:31:36.360 say, Ukraine
00:31:37.140 and whether
00:31:37.960 we should end
00:31:39.720 the war, well,
00:31:40.960 that's
00:31:41.200 misinformation.
00:31:42.700 So you
00:31:43.400 must be
00:31:43.760 banned from
00:31:44.240 social media,
00:31:45.240 possibly lose
00:31:45.980 your job,
00:31:47.220 won't be able
00:31:48.060 to get hired
00:31:48.740 by the
00:31:49.080 government.
00:31:50.320 That's the
00:31:50.940 end of free
00:31:51.400 speech.
00:31:52.500 If they had
00:31:53.360 defined
00:31:53.940 misinformation
00:31:54.740 as, you
00:31:56.060 know, something
00:31:56.460 specific, where
00:31:58.080 you could even
00:31:58.720 know if you
00:31:59.300 were violating
00:31:59.900 it or not,
00:32:01.780 well, that
00:32:02.220 might have
00:32:02.600 been something
00:32:03.060 different, but
00:32:03.880 they didn't
00:32:04.280 do that.
00:32:05.460 They kept
00:32:05.880 the definition
00:32:06.720 open.
00:32:07.820 And then
00:32:08.620 they created
00:32:09.080 this massive
00:32:09.900 mechanism of,
00:32:11.520 I don't know,
00:32:12.220 fact checkers
00:32:13.280 and people
00:32:14.620 who were
00:32:15.000 involved in
00:32:15.760 making sure
00:32:16.500 there was no
00:32:17.100 misinformation.
00:32:18.540 And then
00:32:18.980 they were
00:32:19.220 going to do
00:32:20.300 this massive
00:32:21.060 education thing
00:32:23.360 where they
00:32:24.360 would train
00:32:24.900 both adults
00:32:25.800 and children
00:32:26.720 to identify
00:32:28.360 misinformation.
00:32:29.220 misinformation.
00:32:30.920 Do you
00:32:31.640 think that
00:32:32.020 they taught
00:32:32.480 them things
00:32:33.120 like I
00:32:33.580 teach?
00:32:34.520 When I
00:32:35.140 teach people
00:32:35.720 how to
00:32:36.040 identify
00:32:36.540 misinformation,
00:32:37.820 I say
00:32:38.260 stuff like,
00:32:39.760 well, if
00:32:40.600 the information
00:32:41.640 is only
00:32:42.380 coming from
00:32:43.340 one anonymous
00:32:45.500 source and
00:32:47.300 you're seeing
00:32:47.800 it read by
00:32:48.420 the traditionally
00:32:49.860 lying media,
00:32:52.160 you shouldn't
00:32:53.020 trust it.
00:32:54.460 Now, that
00:32:54.900 would be
00:32:55.260 teaching people
00:32:56.120 to identify
00:32:56.800 misinformation.
00:32:57.540 When I
00:32:59.340 teach you
00:32:59.940 that if
00:33:00.580 something's
00:33:01.080 too on
00:33:01.480 the nose,
00:33:03.080 you shouldn't
00:33:03.640 trust it,
00:33:04.960 that's learning
00:33:05.840 to identify
00:33:06.780 misinformation.
00:33:08.160 When I
00:33:08.760 tell you,
00:33:09.320 as I just
00:33:09.840 did, that
00:33:10.980 a documentary
00:33:11.760 will be
00:33:12.400 super persuasive,
00:33:14.300 but it
00:33:14.720 doesn't mean
00:33:15.120 it's true.
00:33:16.400 They're all
00:33:17.260 persuasive.
00:33:18.700 That's learning
00:33:19.740 to spot
00:33:20.340 misinformation.
00:33:22.520 So I
00:33:23.220 could go
00:33:23.620 on, but
00:33:24.740 when I
00:33:26.020 teach you
00:33:26.500 to spot
00:33:26.920 misinformation,
00:33:27.540 as I've
00:33:28.360 been doing
00:33:28.720 now for
00:33:29.060 years, I
00:33:30.440 teach you
00:33:30.940 a technique.
00:33:32.880 What do
00:33:33.180 you think the
00:33:34.240 Biden
00:33:34.540 administration
00:33:35.260 criminals were
00:33:36.400 going to do
00:33:37.080 with misinformation?
00:33:38.960 They were
00:33:39.620 going to tell
00:33:40.100 you what was
00:33:40.660 true.
00:33:42.160 They weren't
00:33:42.880 going to teach
00:33:43.480 you to spot
00:33:44.020 misinformation.
00:33:45.460 They were
00:33:46.000 going to say
00:33:46.460 they were,
00:33:47.940 but for
00:33:48.560 example,
00:33:49.620 they would
00:33:49.980 say, if
00:33:51.060 somebody says
00:33:51.860 that the
00:33:52.360 climate models
00:33:53.360 are not
00:33:53.800 real, that's
00:33:55.220 misinformation.
00:33:55.820 Now, is
00:33:58.620 that the
00:33:59.000 same?
00:34:00.140 No.
00:34:01.080 That's simply
00:34:01.760 telling you
00:34:02.400 what's true.
00:34:04.280 That's
00:34:04.960 brainwashing.
00:34:06.240 Exactly.
00:34:07.420 That is
00:34:08.120 brainwashing.
00:34:08.960 So, they
00:34:10.020 were trying
00:34:10.760 to disguise
00:34:12.280 disinformation
00:34:14.280 training,
00:34:17.000 well, they
00:34:17.520 were trying
00:34:17.760 to disguise
00:34:18.420 brainwashing,
00:34:19.900 as training
00:34:20.680 you to
00:34:21.160 spot
00:34:21.460 brainwashing.
00:34:24.580 Completely
00:34:25.340 unethical,
00:34:27.300 immoral,
00:34:28.780 some of the
00:34:29.420 worst criminal
00:34:30.360 behavior you'll
00:34:31.240 ever hear in
00:34:32.080 your life.
00:34:32.620 and Trump
00:34:35.800 stopped it
00:34:36.500 by his
00:34:37.720 victory.
00:34:39.400 So, this
00:34:40.440 is one of
00:34:40.840 those stories
00:34:41.380 that if you
00:34:42.060 look in the
00:34:42.520 history books
00:34:43.220 in 10 years,
00:34:44.560 this won't
00:34:45.060 be there.
00:34:46.640 Do you
00:34:46.900 know why
00:34:47.180 this won't
00:34:47.620 be there?
00:34:48.580 This should
00:34:49.560 be one of
00:34:50.360 the biggest
00:34:50.860 stories of
00:34:52.480 the past
00:34:53.040 25 years,
00:34:54.360 that there
00:34:55.460 was a
00:34:55.760 president who
00:34:56.420 tried and
00:34:58.020 got close
00:34:58.820 to ending
00:35:00.480 free speech
00:35:01.440 in America.
00:35:02.620 And that
00:35:03.820 the mechanism
00:35:04.700 for it is
00:35:05.500 very clear
00:35:06.280 now, because
00:35:06.940 the documents
00:35:07.640 are all
00:35:08.000 available.
00:35:08.740 There's no
00:35:09.260 guessing.
00:35:10.420 There's no
00:35:11.080 speculation that
00:35:12.420 maybe they
00:35:13.040 were trying
00:35:13.460 it.
00:35:13.960 It's not a
00:35:14.760 conspiracy
00:35:15.260 theory.
00:35:16.260 It's all
00:35:16.940 well documented.
00:35:19.880 There will
00:35:20.780 be no
00:35:21.220 history that
00:35:22.400 records that
00:35:23.160 the Biden
00:35:23.560 administration
00:35:24.280 came very
00:35:25.700 close to
00:35:26.860 ending free
00:35:27.840 speech forever
00:35:28.760 in America.
00:35:31.000 Because it's
00:35:31.940 complicated.
00:35:33.580 That's all
00:35:34.320 it takes.
00:35:35.540 Because it's
00:35:36.480 complicated, it'll
00:35:38.020 never be in
00:35:38.600 any history
00:35:39.260 book that
00:35:40.520 any child
00:35:41.340 will see.
00:35:42.500 Now, it
00:35:42.920 might be in
00:35:43.520 books that
00:35:44.600 become best
00:35:45.240 sellers for
00:35:45.960 adults, but
00:35:46.980 even that's not
00:35:47.740 going to affect
00:35:48.320 too many
00:35:48.780 people.
00:35:49.720 Even a
00:35:50.200 best seller
00:35:50.640 could be
00:35:51.180 50,000,
00:35:52.860 100,000
00:35:53.460 copies.
00:35:55.780 So it
00:35:57.540 won't be
00:35:58.120 completely
00:35:58.680 forgotten by
00:35:59.480 history, but
00:36:00.500 it will never
00:36:00.900 be taught.
00:36:01.560 There will
00:36:03.360 never be a
00:36:03.960 course that
00:36:05.140 teaches college
00:36:05.980 students, yeah,
00:36:06.820 you know, in
00:36:07.400 the Biden
00:36:07.760 administration, they
00:36:09.240 were this close
00:36:10.140 to ending free
00:36:11.120 speech forever.
00:36:12.980 But it is the
00:36:14.100 case.
00:36:17.320 Unbelievable.

00:36:33.800 think.
00:36:34.060 All right, let's
00:36:36.700 talk about the
00:36:37.620 Maryland dad, you
00:36:39.880 know, the
00:36:40.280 MS-13 Maryland
00:36:41.600 dad.
00:36:44.080 So one of the
00:36:44.940 things I like to
00:36:45.580 do with that
00:36:46.000 story is I do
00:36:48.440 like to see how
00:36:49.180 the Democrats
00:36:50.860 are handling
00:36:51.440 it.
00:36:52.820 You know, the
00:36:53.320 Republican version
00:36:54.360 is that he
00:36:55.980 absolutely,
00:36:56.920 definitely was
00:36:57.520 MS-13.
00:36:58.780 He was picked
00:37:00.260 up with other
00:37:01.080 MS-13 people.
00:37:02.360 He had MS-13
00:37:03.920 clothing that's,
00:37:06.920 you know, well
00:37:07.320 identified.
00:37:09.020 There was a
00:37:09.660 source that said
00:37:10.760 he was MS-13.
00:37:13.340 And you say to
00:37:14.560 yourself, hmm,
00:37:16.380 I don't know.
00:37:17.360 He looks pretty
00:37:18.440 MS-13 to me.
00:37:20.120 But then you
00:37:20.880 hear the
00:37:21.200 Democrats say,
00:37:22.260 oh, that's
00:37:22.940 pretty sketchy.
00:37:23.980 I don't know.
00:37:25.220 The police
00:37:26.040 officer, was
00:37:27.740 it a police
00:37:28.160 officer, who
00:37:29.480 originally picked
00:37:30.860 him up,
00:37:31.500 you know, got
00:37:32.980 dismissed for
00:37:33.800 bad behavior
00:37:34.580 soon after.
00:37:35.560 So he'd go,
00:37:36.180 hmm, maybe the
00:37:38.200 person who was
00:37:39.140 the, you know,
00:37:40.240 the principal
00:37:40.860 who identified
00:37:42.460 him as MS-13,
00:37:44.100 he did something
00:37:45.220 else that makes
00:37:46.000 him look sketchy.
00:37:47.740 So maybe we
00:37:49.100 can't totally
00:37:49.640 trust that guy.
00:37:51.840 But I was
00:37:52.440 reading in
00:37:52.920 The Hill
00:37:53.360 that the
00:37:55.480 thing where
00:37:55.960 he got picked
00:37:56.900 up with other
00:37:57.840 MS-13 people,
00:37:59.840 he was waiting
00:38:00.660 at a Home
00:38:01.200 Depot for
00:38:02.580 work.
00:38:03.560 So you
00:38:04.060 know how
00:38:04.540 the migrants
00:38:06.540 often will
00:38:07.240 wait in the
00:38:08.220 parking lot of
00:38:08.920 Home Depot
00:38:09.400 so that people
00:38:10.880 will pull up
00:38:11.620 and say,
00:38:12.260 I need two
00:38:13.560 people to
00:38:14.300 dig a ditch
00:38:14.920 today.
00:38:15.680 And then,
00:38:16.400 you know,
00:38:17.000 say, I'll
00:38:17.420 take you and
00:38:18.000 you.
00:38:18.620 And then they
00:38:19.360 just go off
00:38:19.980 and they get
00:38:20.320 some day work.
00:38:21.700 If he was
00:38:22.520 hanging out
00:38:23.080 with two
00:38:23.720 MS-13 people
00:38:26.940 who were
00:38:28.020 also just
00:38:28.720 looking for
00:38:29.220 day work
00:38:29.880 and he
00:38:31.300 was just
00:38:31.660 standing there
00:38:32.220 looking for
00:38:32.720 day work
00:38:33.260 too,
00:38:34.020 that's not
00:38:34.880 exactly hanging
00:38:35.780 out with
00:38:36.220 MS-13.
00:38:37.760 That's hanging
00:38:38.560 out at
00:38:38.940 Home Depot.
00:38:40.420 It wasn't
00:38:41.620 up to this
00:38:42.200 guy to
00:38:43.720 know whether
00:38:44.280 these people
00:38:44.940 were MS-13,
00:38:46.100 but I think
00:38:46.540 he recognized
00:38:47.060 them from
00:38:47.780 before,
00:38:48.440 so maybe
00:38:48.820 he did,
00:38:49.360 maybe he
00:38:49.960 didn't,
00:38:50.240 we don't
00:38:50.520 know.
00:38:51.240 He was
00:38:51.620 wearing a
00:38:52.020 Chicago Bulls
00:38:52.940 hat,
00:38:53.700 which wasn't
00:38:54.940 too surprising
00:38:56.220 and it's
00:38:56.780 not proof
00:38:57.740 that you're
00:38:58.480 gang-related,
00:38:59.880 but it's
00:39:01.000 a strong
00:39:01.700 indication.
00:39:03.600 You know,
00:39:03.920 it would be
00:39:04.540 a weird
00:39:04.940 coincidence if
00:39:06.200 you just
00:39:06.580 happened to
00:39:07.000 be a fan
00:39:07.640 and you
00:39:08.880 were the
00:39:09.180 only person
00:39:09.760 from El
00:39:10.260 Salvador
00:39:10.620 who didn't
00:39:11.400 know they're
00:39:12.600 wearing a
00:39:13.240 Bulls hat
00:39:13.840 and a
00:39:14.560 particular
00:39:15.000 image on
00:39:16.880 a Bulls
00:39:17.680 jersey with,
00:39:18.480 I guess,
00:39:18.680 three monkeys
00:39:19.300 covering their
00:39:20.080 eyes and ears
00:39:21.220 and mouths
00:39:21.780 with dollar
00:39:23.360 bills.
00:39:24.420 If he
00:39:25.120 didn't know
00:39:25.880 that those
00:39:26.980 were gang
00:39:28.280 related,
00:39:29.340 that'd be
00:39:29.760 kind of
00:39:30.100 weird.
00:39:31.380 Now,
00:39:31.700 don't you
00:39:32.080 think if
00:39:33.580 you were
00:39:33.900 not in
00:39:34.400 MS-13
00:39:35.080 and you
00:39:36.740 knew what
00:39:37.340 the clothing
00:39:37.960 of an
00:39:38.480 MS-13
00:39:39.200 person was
00:39:40.320 and you
00:39:41.160 had an
00:39:41.500 option of
00:39:42.060 what you're
00:39:42.460 going to
00:39:42.700 wear,
00:39:43.680 would you
00:39:44.080 ever wear
00:39:44.780 clothing that
00:39:46.140 would identify
00:39:47.040 you as
00:39:47.460 MS-13?
00:39:49.240 And wouldn't
00:39:49.840 the MS-13
00:39:50.720 people kill
00:39:51.580 you immediately
00:39:52.300 if they
00:39:52.940 knew that
00:39:53.480 you were
00:39:53.840 not in
00:39:54.280 the club
00:39:54.800 but you
00:39:56.080 were pretending
00:39:56.680 to be?
00:39:58.820 So,
00:39:59.600 that's
00:40:00.940 something.
00:40:02.940 And then
00:40:03.500 apparently the
00:40:04.180 immigration
00:40:04.660 judge,
00:40:05.360 Judge
00:40:06.240 Kessler,
00:40:07.440 had said
00:40:08.340 about the
00:40:09.100 source.
00:40:10.280 So,
00:40:10.560 really,
00:40:11.360 I think
00:40:12.380 most of
00:40:13.100 the case
00:40:13.680 depended on
00:40:14.680 the source
00:40:15.660 being reliable
00:40:17.160 because there
00:40:18.080 was a source
00:40:18.680 that said
00:40:19.120 not only
00:40:20.060 is he
00:40:20.380 in MS-13,
00:40:21.720 he has
00:40:22.000 a rank
00:40:22.540 and he
00:40:23.600 has a
00:40:23.900 nickname
00:40:24.340 like he
00:40:25.600 has a
00:40:25.900 gang
00:40:26.180 nickname.
00:40:27.160 That would
00:40:27.520 be pretty
00:40:28.400 conclusive
00:40:29.000 that he's
00:40:29.500 in a
00:40:29.760 gang.
00:40:30.820 So,
00:40:31.220 the
00:40:31.420 immigration
00:40:31.960 judge
00:40:32.440 said
00:40:32.940 about the
00:40:34.420 source
00:40:34.860 that the
00:40:35.420 source was
00:40:35.960 a past
00:40:36.640 proven and
00:40:37.580 reliable
00:40:38.160 source of
00:40:38.840 information
00:40:39.400 that verified
00:40:41.460 the
00:40:41.720 respondent's
00:40:42.480 gang
00:40:42.800 membership,
00:40:44.020 rank,
00:40:44.380 and gang
00:40:45.060 name.
00:40:45.500 And that
00:40:47.280 was sufficient
00:40:48.340 to support
00:40:50.060 the fact
00:40:50.600 that he
00:40:51.160 was actually
00:40:52.220 a gang
00:40:52.580 member.
00:40:53.360 So,
00:40:53.820 that's from
00:40:54.500 an immigration
00:40:55.380 judge,
00:40:57.140 and she
00:40:58.980 had decided
00:40:59.900 that the
00:41:00.500 informant
00:41:01.160 was reliable.
00:41:02.960 Now,
00:41:03.560 I guess
00:41:04.580 you would
00:41:04.820 have to
00:41:05.100 take the
00:41:05.760 word of
00:41:06.300 the judge,
00:41:07.620 but would
00:41:08.520 it be fair
00:41:09.040 to say
00:41:09.560 that he
00:41:10.060 has been
00:41:10.580 adjudicated
00:41:11.500 as a gang
00:41:12.320 member?
00:41:13.780 Do you
00:41:14.000 remember how
00:41:14.860 they like
00:41:17.200 to say
00:41:17.540 that Trump
00:41:18.040 was adjudicated
00:41:19.220 as a
00:41:20.080 some kind
00:41:21.600 of criminal
00:41:22.060 or something?
00:41:23.720 And they
00:41:24.600 wouldn't say
00:41:25.040 he did it
00:41:25.900 because that
00:41:26.880 would be
00:41:27.200 too far.
00:41:28.540 They'd say
00:41:28.940 he was
00:41:29.320 adjudicated
00:41:30.160 to have
00:41:30.580 done it.
00:41:31.780 So,
00:41:32.000 there was
00:41:32.200 a process.
00:41:33.800 Now,
00:41:34.220 if you're
00:41:34.660 worried about
00:41:35.260 the due
00:41:37.880 process,
00:41:39.540 at least
00:41:40.620 this part
00:41:41.160 of it
00:41:41.540 looks like
00:41:43.320 an immigration
00:41:44.120 judge,
00:41:44.860 whose job
00:41:46.560 it is
00:41:47.000 to determine
00:41:47.580 who's
00:41:47.900 telling the
00:41:48.400 truth and
00:41:49.040 who is
00:41:49.440 credible and
00:41:50.060 who is
00:41:50.340 not,
00:41:51.760 looked at
00:41:52.680 the source
00:41:53.760 and said,
00:41:54.700 okay,
00:41:55.160 this is a
00:41:56.400 reliable source.
00:41:57.800 But I'd like
00:41:58.680 to know more
00:41:59.240 about it
00:41:59.760 because I'd
00:42:01.300 hate to hear
00:42:01.940 that all
00:42:03.820 the judge
00:42:04.300 did was ask
00:42:05.160 some law
00:42:05.640 enforcement
00:42:06.100 person,
00:42:07.200 hey,
00:42:07.520 is this
00:42:07.960 source
00:42:08.420 reliable?
00:42:10.140 Oh,
00:42:10.380 yeah,
00:42:10.700 totally.
00:42:11.720 Because they
00:42:12.220 just wanted
00:42:13.200 the person
00:42:13.980 to be
00:42:14.300 deported.
00:42:15.840 So,
00:42:16.900 I'm not
00:42:17.820 sure I
00:42:18.160 believe it
00:42:18.820 that the
00:42:20.620 source is
00:42:21.320 reliable.
00:42:22.440 Remember what
00:42:23.080 I told you
00:42:23.600 just five
00:42:24.480 minutes ago?
00:42:25.600 That if
00:42:26.520 you're looking
00:42:26.900 for misinformation,
00:42:29.100 one of the
00:42:29.680 ways is an
00:42:30.700 anonymous source.
00:42:32.740 The least
00:42:33.880 dependable source
00:42:34.920 of information
00:42:35.600 is an
00:42:36.340 anonymous source.
00:42:37.280 but it
00:42:39.140 wasn't
00:42:39.540 anonymous to
00:42:40.420 the judge.
00:42:42.820 Still,
00:42:43.440 it was one
00:42:43.980 person saying
00:42:44.760 it.
00:42:47.100 Yeah,
00:42:47.740 it was still
00:42:48.200 one person.
00:42:49.360 So,
00:42:49.680 I'm still
00:42:50.160 leaning toward
00:42:51.240 it seems
00:42:52.060 far more
00:42:52.940 likely that he
00:42:53.660 was gang
00:42:55.260 affiliated than
00:42:56.260 not.
00:42:57.260 But you
00:42:58.140 should know
00:42:58.840 that this
00:43:00.700 is not the
00:43:01.660 home run
00:43:02.680 100%
00:43:04.020 proof that he
00:43:05.040 was a gang
00:43:05.520 member that
00:43:06.760 you'd really
00:43:07.300 like to
00:43:07.820 hear because
00:43:09.080 then you'd
00:43:09.780 feel more
00:43:10.160 comfortable about
00:43:10.940 it.
00:43:11.600 And clearly
00:43:12.080 there was an
00:43:12.580 error in
00:43:13.480 having him
00:43:14.000 deported to
00:43:15.380 El Salvador.
00:43:17.880 But the
00:43:18.680 weird wrinkle
00:43:19.520 on that is
00:43:20.820 if you're
00:43:21.200 deported to
00:43:21.800 El Salvador
00:43:22.440 and the
00:43:24.420 problem was
00:43:25.200 that you
00:43:25.840 had a
00:43:26.340 deportation
00:43:28.080 order but
00:43:30.200 there was a
00:43:31.040 hold on
00:43:31.900 it that was
00:43:32.500 also legally
00:43:33.800 valid.
00:43:34.400 It was more
00:43:35.020 valid than
00:43:35.660 the deportation
00:43:36.540 order because
00:43:37.480 it was the
00:43:38.080 higher level
00:43:38.960 order I
00:43:39.720 guess.
00:43:42.480 If the
00:43:43.320 reason that
00:43:44.040 some
00:43:45.740 immigration
00:43:46.500 judge had
00:43:47.120 decided he
00:43:47.760 should not
00:43:48.340 be sent
00:43:48.800 back to
00:43:49.880 El Salvador
00:43:50.500 specifically is
00:43:51.580 because that's
00:43:52.000 where the
00:43:52.360 risk came
00:43:53.020 from,
00:43:54.580 isn't that
00:43:55.800 the safest
00:43:56.320 country in
00:43:57.000 the world?
00:43:58.920 Could you
00:43:59.720 really say
00:44:00.460 that he
00:44:01.100 would be
00:44:01.460 safer hanging
00:44:03.160 out with
00:44:04.000 known
00:44:04.680 MS-13
00:44:06.480 people in
00:44:07.280 the United
00:44:07.700 States,
00:44:08.940 would that
00:44:09.360 be safer
00:44:09.920 than going
00:44:10.440 to El
00:44:10.780 Salvador?
00:44:12.660 Now,
00:44:13.120 anything safer
00:44:13.960 probably than
00:44:14.980 being, well,
00:44:15.840 I don't know,
00:44:16.340 maybe it's safe
00:44:16.980 to be in those
00:44:17.520 prisons because
00:44:18.260 they're just so
00:44:18.980 controlled, I
00:44:19.900 don't know,
00:44:20.380 but it would be a
00:44:21.320 terrible life,
00:44:23.100 you know,
00:44:23.320 it's barely a
00:44:23.940 life.
00:44:25.260 So,
00:44:26.480 it's a way
00:44:28.060 more interesting
00:44:28.800 case than I
00:44:29.760 thought it would
00:44:30.280 be so that
00:44:31.920 in order to,
00:44:33.840 I mean,
00:44:34.240 I think it's
00:44:34.760 ironic that
00:44:36.960 the reason he
00:44:37.880 couldn't be
00:44:38.540 deported to
00:44:39.200 El Salvador,
00:44:40.140 technically,
00:44:40.940 even though he
00:44:41.360 was,
00:44:42.420 is because it
00:44:43.880 would be too
00:44:44.420 dangerous,
00:44:45.300 but it might
00:44:45.780 be the safest
00:44:46.380 place in the
00:44:47.160 entire hemisphere
00:44:47.880 if you were
00:44:49.580 out of jail.
00:44:50.840 If you're in
00:44:51.740 jail,
00:44:52.760 then it's a
00:44:55.380 jail level,
00:44:56.400 you know,
00:44:57.480 risk,
00:44:58.480 which is never
00:44:59.300 good.
00:45:00.280 Well,
00:45:02.840 I haven't
00:45:04.600 said much
00:45:05.060 about this,
00:45:05.600 but there
00:45:05.840 was a big
00:45:06.160 story in the
00:45:06.680 New York
00:45:06.920 Times that
00:45:07.680 ADHD might
00:45:11.900 be not what
00:45:13.040 the experts
00:45:14.000 have been
00:45:14.340 telling you
00:45:14.820 forever,
00:45:15.480 and it
00:45:16.100 might not
00:45:16.500 even be a
00:45:17.700 condition that
00:45:18.460 needs to be
00:45:19.040 treated in
00:45:20.160 many cases.
00:45:21.680 So,
00:45:22.260 there's no
00:45:22.640 doubt that
00:45:23.040 the drug
00:45:23.460 works to
00:45:24.740 change behavior
00:45:25.600 and to get
00:45:26.440 you what you
00:45:27.220 want,
00:45:28.180 but,
00:45:28.720 you know,
00:45:29.240 there's a
00:45:29.640 downside to
00:45:30.420 giving a
00:45:31.500 kid a,
00:45:32.680 you know,
00:45:32.980 basically some
00:45:34.480 kind of
00:45:35.140 speed.
00:45:37.400 And there's
00:45:38.960 one, I
00:45:39.420 guess,
00:45:39.680 Ritalin can
00:45:40.360 make you
00:45:41.120 not grow as
00:45:42.500 tall,
00:45:43.360 although that
00:45:44.180 might be
00:45:44.560 temporary,
00:45:45.120 we don't
00:45:45.460 know.
00:45:45.720 and there's
00:45:48.160 a thought
00:45:48.700 that maybe
00:45:49.560 the entire
00:45:50.160 thing was
00:45:50.640 driven by
00:45:51.240 the economics
00:45:52.200 of the
00:45:52.640 industry,
00:45:53.100 because once
00:45:54.740 pharma could
00:45:55.400 make money
00:45:55.960 and once
00:45:56.680 there were
00:45:57.180 special people
00:45:58.980 whose job
00:45:59.660 it was to
00:46:00.320 handle the
00:46:00.820 ADHD kids
00:46:01.980 that couldn't
00:46:02.380 be handled
00:46:02.820 any other
00:46:03.320 way,
00:46:03.900 and once
00:46:04.660 you had
00:46:04.900 programs and
00:46:06.160 education about
00:46:07.400 it,
00:46:08.300 that it
00:46:08.920 became sort
00:46:09.620 of its own
00:46:10.400 little engine,
00:46:11.620 and whenever
00:46:14.260 a kid came
00:46:15.440 in who was
00:46:16.180 a little
00:46:16.580 overactive,
00:46:17.420 they'd say,
00:46:17.840 hmm,
00:46:18.760 looks like
00:46:19.280 ADHD,
00:46:20.260 and there
00:46:20.680 would be,
00:46:21.060 you know,
00:46:21.340 tons of
00:46:21.820 overdiagnosis.
00:46:23.580 I saw a
00:46:24.380 comment by
00:46:25.120 Chamath
00:46:26.160 Palihapitiya,
00:46:28.280 one of the
00:46:28.800 all-in pod
00:46:29.460 guys,
00:46:29.880 you know,
00:46:30.640 and he
00:46:32.100 says that
00:46:33.480 one of his
00:46:33.980 kids was
00:46:35.160 at one
00:46:36.360 point identified
00:46:37.640 as an
00:46:38.220 ADHD kid,
00:46:40.560 but that
00:46:41.520 he wasn't
00:46:42.460 buying into
00:46:43.060 the,
00:46:43.920 you know,
00:46:44.300 the whole
00:46:44.580 thing looked
00:46:45.080 a little
00:46:45.440 sketchy to
00:46:46.140 him,
00:46:47.000 and he
00:46:47.720 says,
00:46:48.540 sort of
00:46:49.140 as,
00:46:49.800 I guess,
00:46:50.260 a summary,
00:46:51.080 I find it
00:46:51.600 more plausible
00:46:52.220 that economic
00:46:53.220 incentives
00:46:53.880 drove an
00:46:54.560 entire industry
00:46:55.380 to spring
00:46:56.060 up around
00:46:56.600 an FDA
00:46:57.200 approved
00:46:57.820 drug,
00:46:59.200 that looking
00:47:01.300 back,
00:47:02.420 mostly doesn't
00:47:03.340 work.
00:47:04.580 People make
00:47:05.140 money diagnosing
00:47:06.060 it,
00:47:06.660 tutoring around
00:47:07.720 it,
00:47:08.020 coaching around
00:47:08.680 it,
00:47:08.900 et cetera.
00:47:09.280 Now,
00:47:11.340 that could
00:47:12.880 be right.
00:47:13.820 I saw
00:47:14.460 Matt Walsh
00:47:15.520 talking about
00:47:16.540 how,
00:47:17.300 you know,
00:47:17.580 he thought
00:47:17.920 it was a
00:47:18.460 fake condition
00:47:19.500 too.
00:47:20.760 Now,
00:47:21.200 I wouldn't
00:47:21.500 call it
00:47:21.820 fake in
00:47:22.600 the sense
00:47:23.040 that,
00:47:23.620 you know,
00:47:24.080 maybe there's
00:47:24.660 some percentage
00:47:25.340 that's real
00:47:26.120 and some
00:47:26.600 percentage
00:47:27.040 that's not,
00:47:28.040 but I do
00:47:28.540 think that if
00:47:29.340 you simply
00:47:31.020 change people's
00:47:32.140 environment,
00:47:33.840 you could
00:47:35.900 probably drive
00:47:36.780 a lot of it
00:47:37.340 out of the
00:47:37.900 situation.
00:47:40.280 So,
00:47:40.660 and I also
00:47:41.060 wonder if
00:47:41.480 there's a
00:47:41.880 reframe that
00:47:42.640 would work.
00:47:44.300 Because if
00:47:45.260 not paying
00:47:46.440 attention is
00:47:48.460 the big
00:47:48.900 problem,
00:47:50.060 what if you
00:47:50.800 just made
00:47:51.880 those kids
00:47:52.460 exercise,
00:47:53.740 like,
00:47:54.560 immediately?
00:47:55.680 You know,
00:47:56.080 you start
00:47:56.740 class and
00:47:57.520 then there's
00:47:57.880 a bunch of
00:47:58.280 ADHD kids
00:47:59.320 who can't
00:47:59.740 pay attention
00:48:00.260 and you
00:48:01.180 just say,
00:48:01.620 all right,
00:48:01.900 kids,
00:48:02.240 we're going
00:48:02.440 to take a
00:48:02.780 break.
00:48:03.660 And you
00:48:03.980 just make
00:48:05.560 them exercise
00:48:06.180 like crazy,
00:48:07.100 you know,
00:48:07.540 in play,
00:48:08.160 you know,
00:48:09.020 not anything
00:48:09.980 that hurts
00:48:10.440 them.
00:48:11.000 But you
00:48:11.480 just make
00:48:11.900 them play,
00:48:12.380 play,
00:48:12.620 play until
00:48:13.560 they can
00:48:14.140 sit in one
00:48:14.920 place and
00:48:15.540 be glad that
00:48:16.240 they are.
00:48:17.340 And then you
00:48:18.380 see if they
00:48:18.780 can pay
00:48:19.040 attention.
00:48:20.580 And then the
00:48:21.020 other reframe
00:48:21.960 is when I
00:48:23.320 was a student,
00:48:25.680 and I should
00:48:26.600 tell you that I
00:48:27.240 went to a very
00:48:27.740 small school,
00:48:28.800 very small,
00:48:30.160 but I was
00:48:31.780 a valedictorian.
00:48:32.500 valedictorian.
00:48:33.460 And I think
00:48:34.260 at least part
00:48:35.160 of the reason
00:48:35.640 I was
00:48:35.900 valedictorian,
00:48:36.740 besides being
00:48:38.080 kind of smart,
00:48:39.280 is that the
00:48:41.040 way I
00:48:41.440 approached my
00:48:42.180 schoolwork was
00:48:43.820 that it was a
00:48:44.800 contest.
00:48:46.300 And I was
00:48:47.100 competing against
00:48:48.000 the other
00:48:48.380 students, not
00:48:49.200 just the ones
00:48:49.780 in my class,
00:48:50.560 but in the
00:48:51.140 world.
00:48:52.240 And whoever
00:48:53.600 competed the
00:48:54.520 best would get
00:48:55.400 the prizes.
00:48:56.720 And the prizes
00:48:57.400 would be the
00:48:58.120 good jobs and
00:48:59.140 the better life
00:49:00.600 and the better
00:49:01.540 mate, you
00:49:02.440 know, all
00:49:02.880 those things.
00:49:03.900 So when I
00:49:05.140 would look at
00:49:05.800 my schoolwork
00:49:06.740 and it would
00:49:07.320 be super
00:49:08.000 boring, I
00:49:09.860 would not
00:49:10.240 say, oh my
00:49:10.980 God, it's
00:49:11.520 boring and
00:49:12.200 it's not
00:49:12.560 connected to
00:49:13.240 anything in
00:49:13.700 the real
00:49:14.040 world, so I
00:49:15.820 just can't
00:49:16.260 even pay
00:49:16.580 attention to
00:49:17.160 it.
00:49:17.880 There's no
00:49:18.500 meaning to
00:49:19.140 it.
00:49:20.200 Because even
00:49:20.800 the ADHD
00:49:21.420 people can
00:49:22.860 pay attention
00:49:23.460 when they
00:49:23.880 have meaning.
00:49:24.700 Like if it's
00:49:25.180 something they
00:49:25.660 care about,
00:49:26.660 they have no
00:49:27.240 problem paying
00:49:27.920 attention.
00:49:28.480 They can do
00:49:28.840 it all day
00:49:29.220 long.
00:49:29.560 without any
00:49:30.780 medication at
00:49:31.480 all.
00:49:32.440 So I
00:49:33.920 never got
00:49:34.540 bored with
00:49:35.360 boring school
00:49:36.160 work because
00:49:37.420 I was looking
00:49:38.180 at the future
00:49:38.920 and I was
00:49:39.460 saying, if I
00:49:40.740 can get
00:49:41.180 through this
00:49:41.960 but other
00:49:43.100 people get
00:49:43.660 bored by it,
00:49:44.600 I win.
00:49:46.020 It's a
00:49:46.680 contest.
00:49:48.320 And it's
00:49:49.600 easier to do
00:49:50.460 something painful
00:49:51.360 in the context
00:49:53.800 of a sport
00:49:55.020 or a contest
00:49:57.060 because you're
00:49:58.260 thinking about
00:49:58.880 the prize.
00:50:00.800 And then you
00:50:01.180 can do
00:50:01.560 unpleasant things
00:50:02.440 to get a
00:50:02.840 prize because
00:50:03.840 the focus is
00:50:04.620 on the prize
00:50:05.220 and then suddenly
00:50:05.840 it really does
00:50:06.540 mean something
00:50:07.060 to you.
00:50:07.960 So for me,
00:50:08.880 that was my
00:50:09.380 most effective
00:50:10.160 reframe.
00:50:11.600 And it just
00:50:12.100 sort of came
00:50:12.560 naturally as a
00:50:13.460 kid because I
00:50:14.600 would sit there
00:50:15.080 and think,
00:50:15.620 if I do better
00:50:17.080 on this test
00:50:17.920 than other
00:50:18.460 people,
00:50:19.560 don't I win
00:50:20.600 more prizes?
00:50:21.880 And the answer
00:50:22.340 is yes.
00:50:23.060 You win more
00:50:23.660 prizes your
00:50:24.760 whole life.
00:50:27.340 Well,
00:50:27.860 let's talk
00:50:28.200 about another
00:50:28.720 criminal.
00:50:29.620 I call her
00:50:30.320 Letitia
00:50:31.000 Jesse James.
00:50:32.920 I'm going to
00:50:33.280 add the
00:50:33.620 Jesse part
00:50:34.340 because it
00:50:35.420 sounds more
00:50:35.880 criminal.
00:50:36.900 Letitia
00:50:37.440 Jesse James.
00:50:38.920 And as you
00:50:39.400 know,
00:50:40.020 quite ironically,
00:50:42.240 she has
00:50:42.680 been referred
00:50:44.500 to the
00:50:45.800 Department of
00:50:46.400 Justice
00:50:46.700 because of
00:50:47.980 a number
00:50:48.400 of alleged
00:50:51.200 financial
00:50:52.660 fraud that
00:50:53.760 she did
00:50:54.880 to get
00:50:55.300 her own
00:50:55.680 mortgages
00:50:56.260 for some
00:50:56.820 property.
00:50:57.980 So one
00:50:58.480 had to
00:50:58.860 do with
00:50:59.600 saying that
00:51:00.900 her primary
00:51:02.040 residence was
00:51:02.840 Virginia,
00:51:03.540 which it
00:51:03.920 wasn't.
00:51:04.860 One had to
00:51:05.460 do with
00:51:06.020 saying that
00:51:06.700 her five
00:51:07.600 unit place
00:51:09.840 was a four
00:51:10.460 unit place,
00:51:11.360 which it
00:51:11.780 wasn't.
00:51:12.740 And apparently
00:51:13.240 at one point
00:51:14.660 she said her
00:51:15.280 father was
00:51:15.900 her husband.
00:51:17.340 So there
00:51:18.300 might be some
00:51:18.800 more, but
00:51:19.200 those are the
00:51:19.580 ones I
00:51:19.860 remember.
00:51:21.200 But what
00:51:21.920 I didn't
00:51:22.360 know, because
00:51:23.580 I've been
00:51:23.940 saying incorrectly,
00:51:25.780 I've been
00:51:26.040 saying, no,
00:51:26.780 these are
00:51:27.120 just, you
00:51:28.180 know, worst
00:51:28.580 case scenario,
00:51:29.400 it's going to
00:51:29.840 be a big
00:51:30.220 fine.
00:51:31.520 And it
00:51:31.860 might be
00:51:32.160 expensive, but
00:51:33.460 it's not
00:51:33.720 like she's
00:51:34.140 going to go
00:51:34.480 to jail or
00:51:35.040 anything.
00:51:36.080 But apparently
00:51:36.780 Kyle Welch,
00:51:38.040 this George
00:51:38.860 Washington
00:51:39.240 University
00:51:39.800 School of
00:51:40.340 Business
00:51:40.620 professor who
00:51:42.080 specializes in
00:51:43.200 financial fraud,
00:51:44.980 says that if
00:51:45.880 the allegations
00:51:46.560 are, if they
00:51:47.860 hold up, they
00:51:49.760 could carry
00:51:50.320 jail time.
00:51:51.200 And lead
00:51:51.920 to disbarment.
00:51:53.740 So jail
00:51:54.460 time plus
00:51:55.080 disbarment, that
00:51:57.020 would be a
00:51:57.980 pretty big
00:51:58.560 penalty.
00:52:00.620 Now, what
00:52:01.600 does Letitia
00:52:02.700 James say about
00:52:03.560 all this?
00:52:04.460 What is her
00:52:05.020 defense against
00:52:07.780 very specific
00:52:09.000 allegations of
00:52:10.560 wrongdoing?
00:52:11.580 Did she say,
00:52:13.180 I didn't do
00:52:14.460 that thing with
00:52:15.200 the five-unit
00:52:16.060 building?
00:52:16.900 did she say,
00:52:19.080 I never said
00:52:20.540 my father was
00:52:21.780 my husband?
00:52:23.020 Did she say,
00:52:24.660 I never said
00:52:26.000 that Virginia
00:52:26.600 was my
00:52:27.220 primary
00:52:27.760 residence?
00:52:29.580 Nope.
00:52:31.440 What she
00:52:32.200 said was
00:52:33.040 that the
00:52:35.500 allegations about
00:52:37.680 her own
00:52:38.260 mortgage fraud
00:52:39.120 are, quote,
00:52:40.660 retaliation against
00:52:42.060 all of the
00:52:42.600 actions that
00:52:43.240 have taken
00:52:43.800 successfully
00:52:44.540 against Donald
00:52:45.520 Trump?
00:52:47.060 Well, it
00:52:49.320 might be a
00:52:49.900 little bit of
00:52:50.420 retaliation, but
00:52:53.000 if it's true,
00:52:54.320 it's also a
00:52:56.580 bunch of
00:52:56.960 crimes.
00:52:58.440 So, I
00:53:00.140 think that's
00:53:00.600 as close as
00:53:01.340 you can get
00:53:01.880 to admitting
00:53:02.440 you did the
00:53:03.100 crime.
00:53:04.880 It's to say
00:53:05.720 that the
00:53:06.080 reason that
00:53:06.840 they're after
00:53:08.000 me is
00:53:08.600 retaliation.
00:53:10.140 No, if
00:53:10.940 you're innocent,
00:53:12.500 imagine you're
00:53:13.340 in this
00:53:13.620 situation.
00:53:15.060 If you were
00:53:15.880 in this
00:53:16.200 situation and
00:53:17.460 you knew
00:53:17.840 the truth
00:53:18.420 was you
00:53:19.260 had committed
00:53:19.840 no crimes,
00:53:21.840 would you
00:53:22.280 start with
00:53:22.860 saying that
00:53:23.420 they're only
00:53:23.800 coming after
00:53:24.420 me for
00:53:24.840 retaliation?
00:53:25.620 No, you
00:53:27.200 wouldn't.
00:53:27.920 No one
00:53:28.320 would.
00:53:29.020 They would
00:53:29.500 start with
00:53:30.380 none of
00:53:31.180 this is
00:53:31.540 true.
00:53:32.640 And then
00:53:33.160 they would
00:53:33.560 say it's
00:53:35.440 just because
00:53:36.080 of the
00:53:36.520 retaliation.
00:53:38.160 But you
00:53:38.800 wouldn't
00:53:39.100 start with
00:53:39.820 it's because
00:53:40.380 of retaliation.
00:53:42.060 You would
00:53:42.460 start with
00:53:43.220 none of
00:53:44.060 these things
00:53:44.540 hold up.
00:53:45.300 I didn't
00:53:46.080 do that
00:53:46.580 if it
00:53:47.840 were true.
00:53:49.400 So, I
00:53:49.860 guess that
00:53:50.940 that's as
00:53:51.400 close as you
00:53:51.980 can get to
00:53:52.520 admitting you
00:53:53.100 did the
00:53:53.440 crimes.
00:53:54.600 When I
00:53:54.880 found out
00:53:55.300 my friend
00:53:55.780 got a
00:53:56.120 great deal
00:53:56.720 on a
00:53:57.080 wool coat
00:53:57.480 from Winners,
00:53:58.320 I started
00:53:59.080 wondering,
00:54:00.000 is every
00:54:00.820 fabulous item
00:54:01.600 I see
00:54:02.020 from Winners?
00:54:03.120 Like that
00:54:03.620 woman over
00:54:04.100 there with
00:54:04.560 the designer
00:54:05.000 jeans.
00:54:05.820 Are those
00:54:06.420 from Winners?
00:54:07.340 Ooh, or
00:54:08.140 those beautiful
00:54:08.640 gold earrings?
00:54:09.820 Did she pay
00:54:10.240 full price?
00:54:11.160 Or that
00:54:11.420 leather tote?
00:54:12.180 Or that
00:54:12.420 cashmere
00:54:12.780 sweater?
00:54:13.400 Or those
00:54:13.700 knee-high
00:54:14.020 boots?
00:54:14.860 That dress?
00:54:15.640 That jacket?
00:54:16.300 Those shoes?
00:54:17.340 Is anyone
00:54:18.120 paying full
00:54:18.760 price for
00:54:19.300 anything?
00:54:20.280 Stop
00:54:20.760 wondering.
00:54:21.560 Start winning.
00:54:22.480 Winners.
00:54:23.080 Find fabulous
00:54:23.740 for less.
00:54:24.880 Well, let's
00:54:25.900 talk about
00:54:26.480 sexy Luigi
00:54:27.900 Mangione,
00:54:29.760 who, as
00:54:30.400 you know,
00:54:31.480 is the
00:54:31.980 hottest of
00:54:32.620 all the
00:54:32.920 murderers.
00:54:35.860 Apparently,
00:54:36.540 the grand
00:54:37.440 jury in
00:54:37.880 New York
00:54:38.300 is going
00:54:40.360 for four
00:54:42.140 different
00:54:42.700 charges,
00:54:45.200 although I
00:54:45.860 think I
00:54:46.160 only wrote
00:54:46.560 down three
00:54:47.020 of them.
00:54:47.640 But I'm
00:54:47.980 going to
00:54:48.220 read them
00:54:48.740 in a
00:54:49.200 sexy way
00:54:49.960 so that
00:54:51.520 you can
00:54:51.780 hear them
00:54:52.220 the way
00:54:52.480 the Democrats
00:54:53.020 hear them.
00:54:54.880 And I'd
00:54:55.220 like you
00:54:55.540 to imagine
00:54:56.240 there's
00:54:57.660 bad porn
00:54:58.460 music in
00:54:59.120 the background.
00:55:01.680 I don't
00:55:02.840 know even
00:55:03.460 what that
00:55:03.840 sounds like
00:55:04.380 because,
00:55:04.780 you know,
00:55:04.860 I've never
00:55:05.180 listened to
00:55:05.660 it.
00:55:07.760 But he's
00:55:09.460 guilty of
00:55:11.660 two counts
00:55:12.700 of stalking.
00:55:14.760 He might
00:55:15.620 be guilty
00:55:16.140 of a
00:55:17.560 firearm
00:55:18.060 offense.
00:55:18.800 and maybe
00:55:21.800 murder
00:55:23.060 through the
00:55:23.660 use of
00:55:24.320 a firearm.
00:55:26.420 Is that
00:55:27.000 sexy?
00:55:28.200 I mean,
00:55:28.900 I know
00:55:29.200 you're
00:55:29.460 turned on.
00:55:31.220 Try to
00:55:31.740 get through
00:55:32.080 the rest
00:55:32.480 of the
00:55:32.740 day
00:55:32.920 thinking
00:55:33.260 about
00:55:33.620 that.
00:55:34.780 Yeah.
00:55:36.620 Sexy.
00:55:40.760 Apparently,
00:55:41.480 the last
00:55:41.900 charge would
00:55:42.540 make him
00:55:43.140 eligible for
00:55:44.920 the death
00:55:46.620 penalty.
00:55:48.160 Yeah.
00:55:48.580 Ladies,
00:55:49.980 what's that
00:55:50.640 do to you?
00:55:51.760 He's
00:55:52.080 eligible for
00:55:53.080 the death
00:55:54.220 penalty.
00:55:55.260 Now,
00:55:55.700 if that
00:55:56.020 doesn't turn
00:55:56.660 you on,
00:55:57.420 I don't
00:55:57.880 know what
00:55:58.300 will.
00:55:58.580 Meanwhile,
00:56:01.820 according to
00:56:02.880 Neil Munro
00:56:03.740 writing for
00:56:04.420 Breitbart
00:56:04.880 News,
00:56:05.660 Trump is
00:56:06.260 developing
00:56:06.660 some kind
00:56:07.240 of a
00:56:07.460 plan that
00:56:08.160 might provide
00:56:09.640 money for
00:56:11.000 illegal migrants
00:56:12.140 who want to
00:56:12.580 self-deport.
00:56:13.760 Meaning that
00:56:14.760 if the only
00:56:15.300 thing stopping
00:56:15.940 them from
00:56:16.420 doing it
00:56:17.000 is they
00:56:17.500 can't afford
00:56:18.200 to do it
00:56:21.100 because they
00:56:22.000 somehow have
00:56:22.620 to get back
00:56:23.080 home and
00:56:23.500 all that.
00:56:24.740 And so
00:56:25.240 Trump's
00:56:26.200 considering
00:56:27.120 some kind
00:56:28.060 of a
00:56:28.380 stipend
00:56:29.000 or a
00:56:30.340 way to
00:56:30.640 help people
00:56:31.280 afford the
00:56:32.480 self-deportation.
00:56:34.320 And I think
00:56:34.660 that's a good
00:56:35.180 idea because
00:56:36.440 a lot of
00:56:36.880 these people
00:56:37.340 might want
00:56:37.880 to come
00:56:38.220 back for
00:56:39.240 work programs.
00:56:40.740 They might
00:56:41.000 want to
00:56:41.260 come back
00:56:41.740 and try
00:56:42.120 to become
00:56:42.520 members of
00:56:43.200 the country
00:56:44.600 through legal
00:56:45.400 means.
00:56:46.180 And if
00:56:47.140 they self-deport,
00:56:48.600 especially if
00:56:49.400 they get a
00:56:49.760 little help
00:56:50.140 doing it,
00:56:51.080 they could
00:56:51.520 maintain
00:56:51.980 their proper
00:56:53.880 rights to
00:56:54.500 come back.
00:56:55.100 And that
00:56:55.300 would be
00:56:55.520 great.
00:56:55.800 Here's
00:56:58.260 a weird
00:56:58.580 one,
00:56:59.120 according to
00:57:00.120 Rapid Response
00:57:01.240 talking about
00:57:02.140 stuff that
00:57:03.440 Trump does.
00:57:05.140 I guess he
00:57:05.680 signed an
00:57:06.120 executive order
00:57:06.940 to restore
00:57:07.800 American
00:57:08.340 seafood
00:57:08.940 competitiveness.
00:57:11.060 Now,
00:57:11.680 how many
00:57:12.080 of you
00:57:12.400 knew that
00:57:13.900 there was
00:57:14.220 a problem
00:57:14.700 with seafood
00:57:15.920 competitiveness?
00:57:17.660 I did
00:57:18.400 not.
00:57:19.240 I was not
00:57:19.820 aware of
00:57:20.200 that at
00:57:20.660 all.
00:57:21.520 But apparently
00:57:22.100 it's real.
00:57:23.120 It's like a
00:57:23.640 real big
00:57:24.000 problem.
00:57:24.380 And of
00:57:25.140 course,
00:57:26.060 it's
00:57:26.400 self-induced
00:57:27.220 by too
00:57:27.900 many
00:57:28.100 regulatory
00:57:28.580 burdens.
00:57:30.200 And of
00:57:31.200 course,
00:57:31.460 there's
00:57:31.680 unfair trade
00:57:32.620 that we're
00:57:33.440 always dealing
00:57:34.000 with,
00:57:34.300 with other
00:57:34.700 countries.
00:57:36.120 And so
00:57:38.240 apparently
00:57:38.580 this executive
00:57:39.680 order would
00:57:40.300 get rid of
00:57:40.740 the regulatory
00:57:41.340 stuff and
00:57:42.320 combat the
00:57:44.220 fair trade
00:57:44.800 part and
00:57:45.740 enhance
00:57:46.020 production and
00:57:46.640 exports.
00:57:47.540 Now,
00:57:47.780 I didn't
00:57:48.140 think this
00:57:48.640 was necessarily
00:57:49.760 a big
00:57:50.300 deal until
00:57:51.060 I saw a
00:57:51.600 comment by
00:57:52.320 Chef Andrew
00:57:53.220 Gruel.
00:57:54.380 If you're
00:57:54.760 on X,
00:57:55.520 you'll
00:57:55.780 probably be
00:57:56.300 familiar with
00:57:56.880 him.
00:57:57.140 He's a
00:57:57.560 very popular
00:57:58.880 commenter and
00:57:59.840 a professional
00:58:00.600 chef.
00:58:01.780 And he
00:58:02.920 said he
00:58:03.420 worked in
00:58:05.100 an area in
00:58:05.860 which he
00:58:06.160 saw this
00:58:06.640 firsthand and
00:58:08.080 agrees this is
00:58:09.000 a giant
00:58:09.380 problem.
00:58:10.800 So that's
00:58:12.960 a good
00:58:13.200 source.
00:58:14.460 So if
00:58:14.800 Andrew Gruel
00:58:15.760 says it was
00:58:16.420 a big problem
00:58:17.120 and this will
00:58:17.760 be a big
00:58:18.440 step toward
00:58:19.040 fixing it,
00:58:20.180 I believe
00:58:20.880 it.
00:58:21.160 So that's
00:58:22.160 just good
00:58:22.580 news.
00:58:24.880 According to
00:58:25.860 404 Media
00:58:27.020 and Joseph
00:58:29.000 Cox, I
00:58:29.840 guess,
00:58:31.160 somehow they
00:58:32.640 get access to
00:58:33.560 an internal
00:58:34.380 Palantir,
00:58:35.420 the company
00:58:35.920 Palantir,
00:58:37.020 Slack message,
00:58:38.540 and they
00:58:38.920 found out
00:58:39.600 that Palantir,
00:58:41.620 according to
00:58:42.280 404 Media,
00:58:44.060 did a
00:58:44.800 recent build
00:58:46.160 build of
00:58:47.080 a tool
00:58:47.520 that helps
00:58:48.080 ICE find
00:58:48.760 the physical
00:58:49.440 locations of
00:58:50.300 people who
00:58:50.720 have been
00:58:50.980 marked for
00:58:51.480 a deportation.
00:58:53.040 Now, it
00:58:53.380 doesn't say
00:58:53.800 how they
00:58:54.180 do that,
00:58:55.600 so it
00:58:56.000 must be a
00:58:56.640 combination of
00:58:57.400 data, so
00:58:58.320 they must be
00:58:59.220 able to
00:58:59.740 identify where
00:59:00.560 people are
00:59:01.240 from some
00:59:03.100 combination of
00:59:03.880 maybe phone
00:59:04.800 usage and
00:59:05.960 buying patterns
00:59:07.400 and maybe
00:59:08.480 connection to
00:59:10.580 other people.
00:59:11.340 I don't know
00:59:11.680 what the data
00:59:12.200 is that they
00:59:12.740 use.
00:59:13.880 But Palantir
00:59:14.820 would use their
00:59:15.420 magic to do
00:59:16.200 that, so
00:59:17.720 that's
00:59:18.180 interesting.
00:59:21.960 The Defense
00:59:22.960 Post is
00:59:24.100 writing that
00:59:24.620 there's yet
00:59:25.180 another drone
00:59:27.320 AI-driven
00:59:28.720 vehicle.
00:59:29.760 So this
00:59:30.060 one's like a
00:59:30.700 little, I
00:59:31.740 don't know,
00:59:32.220 it looks
00:59:32.700 smaller than
00:59:33.620 a Jeep, but
00:59:34.400 it's AI-driven
00:59:35.880 and it can
00:59:37.260 do all kinds
00:59:37.940 of things.
00:59:38.660 It's fully
00:59:39.100 autonomous.
00:59:40.100 It's a
00:59:40.800 tactical vehicle.
00:59:42.160 It can go
00:59:42.480 35 miles an
00:59:43.680 hour.
00:59:43.900 it can
00:59:45.320 carry a
00:59:46.160 payload that's
00:59:46.880 pretty substantial
00:59:48.040 and it can
00:59:49.460 do a variety
00:59:50.060 of missions
00:59:50.600 across multiple
00:59:51.560 terrains and
00:59:52.400 conditions and
00:59:54.600 it doesn't even
00:59:55.160 need GPS to
00:59:56.440 do what it
00:59:56.880 does.
00:59:58.700 So it's
00:59:59.200 modular and
01:00:00.420 you can change
01:00:01.580 it to do all
01:00:02.500 kinds of
01:00:02.820 different missions,
01:00:03.660 et cetera.
01:00:04.520 Now, this is
01:00:06.140 like the, I
01:00:07.040 don't know, the
01:00:08.200 millionth time I've
01:00:09.320 told you a story
01:00:09.980 like this, but
01:00:12.060 these are real.
01:00:13.620 I mean, the
01:00:14.000 thing is actually
01:00:14.720 built and it
01:00:15.660 looks like they
01:00:16.260 can build more
01:00:17.140 of them.
01:00:18.740 So at the
01:00:20.460 same time, we're
01:00:22.600 going to look at
01:00:23.320 the peace
01:00:24.440 deals, potential
01:00:25.620 peace deal with
01:00:26.780 Ukraine, because
01:00:28.280 if we don't get
01:00:29.500 a peace deal
01:00:31.300 with Ukraine and
01:00:33.220 Russia, what
01:00:35.200 happens then?
01:00:36.880 So I think
01:00:38.360 what happens, at
01:00:39.940 least in maybe
01:00:40.680 the Trump
01:00:41.160 perfect world, is
01:00:42.140 that Europe
01:00:42.620 takes over the
01:00:43.560 defense, but
01:00:45.240 part of what
01:00:45.940 Europe would
01:00:46.440 need to do is
01:00:47.180 buy American
01:00:48.000 weapons like
01:00:49.820 this.
01:00:50.540 And since
01:00:51.260 Ukraine doesn't
01:00:52.040 have enough
01:00:52.560 humans to, you
01:00:55.440 know, to do all
01:00:56.040 the war fighting
01:00:57.180 and it's safer
01:00:59.160 and more
01:00:59.780 effective to use
01:01:00.580 drones, every
01:01:02.060 one of these new
01:01:02.920 inventions, I
01:01:04.480 think, is just
01:01:05.080 going to end up
01:01:05.680 in Ukraine for
01:01:06.780 at least testing.
01:01:08.980 So the U.S.
01:01:10.100 would get to
01:01:10.820 test all of its
01:01:12.140 new drone-related
01:01:13.520 stuff by just
01:01:15.900 throwing it into
01:01:16.580 the war.
01:01:18.020 Europe might pay
01:01:19.020 for it, so the
01:01:20.480 U.S.
01:01:21.160 essentially would
01:01:21.940 be getting
01:01:22.380 revenue and
01:01:23.340 free testing
01:01:24.720 without, you
01:01:26.100 know, without
01:01:26.680 risking American
01:01:27.680 soldiers, and
01:01:29.620 the war would
01:01:30.420 go on.
01:01:31.440 So Ukraine
01:01:32.100 wants to
01:01:32.660 fight.
01:01:32.980 if Europe
01:01:34.920 gives them
01:01:35.380 money and
01:01:36.760 the U.S.
01:01:37.320 provides the
01:01:38.480 hardware that
01:01:39.340 Europe has to
01:01:40.100 pay for, and
01:01:41.820 we know that
01:01:42.480 we're probably
01:01:43.440 only, you
01:01:44.280 know, a year
01:01:45.220 away from all
01:01:46.160 war being all
01:01:47.160 drones all the
01:01:47.960 time, because
01:01:48.960 humans just can't
01:01:50.220 keep up with
01:01:50.740 drones.
01:01:51.040 it might be the
01:01:53.220 first time we
01:01:53.960 see a full
01:01:55.300 drone war.
01:01:59.360 You know, drones
01:02:00.380 on the ground,
01:02:01.260 drones in the
01:02:01.840 sea, drones in
01:02:03.040 the air, and
01:02:04.620 just hardly any,
01:02:06.880 you know, human
01:02:08.800 Ukrainian soldiers
01:02:10.240 except for the
01:02:11.000 ones operating the
01:02:12.340 equipment.
01:02:13.800 So I feel like
01:02:15.620 that's where
01:02:16.500 things go if we
01:02:17.620 don't get a
01:02:18.100 peace deal.
01:02:18.600 Speaking of
01:02:21.360 peace deal,
01:02:23.620 Secretary Rubio
01:02:25.580 has said, if
01:02:26.720 we don't get
01:02:27.280 one soon, and
01:02:28.320 it sounds like
01:02:28.880 we're not
01:02:29.220 close, that
01:02:30.920 he's going to
01:02:31.780 stop trying,
01:02:33.220 meaning Trump
01:02:34.140 will stop
01:02:34.560 trying.
01:02:35.660 Stopping
01:02:36.140 trying, I
01:02:37.600 think,
01:02:38.740 automatically
01:02:39.380 goes to the
01:02:40.340 all-drone
01:02:41.140 concept.
01:02:43.500 So I think
01:02:44.760 what you're
01:02:45.200 going to see
01:02:45.560 is the
01:02:46.220 peace deal
01:02:46.860 dying,
01:02:47.280 and then
01:02:48.900 you're going
01:02:49.200 to see
01:02:49.500 the first
01:02:51.400 all-drone
01:02:52.840 war, and
01:02:54.520 that we're
01:02:54.840 probably just
01:02:55.480 months away
01:02:56.040 from that.
01:02:57.240 And the
01:02:57.840 Russians will,
01:02:59.120 of course,
01:02:59.320 try to keep
01:02:59.840 up, so it
01:03:01.100 will become a
01:03:01.720 drone-on-drone
01:03:02.560 war, and
01:03:03.800 then it will
01:03:04.260 be Russia's
01:03:05.240 technology,
01:03:06.680 wherever they're
01:03:07.420 getting it from,
01:03:08.120 maybe China,
01:03:09.800 versus American
01:03:10.860 technology, and
01:03:13.160 then we see
01:03:13.680 it wins.
01:03:14.160 it will be
01:03:14.760 basically a
01:03:15.980 technology plus
01:03:17.960 money plus
01:03:19.040 cleverness, and
01:03:22.740 it won't be
01:03:23.480 soldiers dying
01:03:24.540 versus soldiers
01:03:25.500 dying.
01:03:26.140 I think that's
01:03:26.660 where it's
01:03:26.980 heading.
01:03:27.660 We'll see.
01:03:30.260 Well, the
01:03:31.080 U.S.
01:03:31.380 says that
01:03:32.020 Chinese
01:03:32.680 satellite firm
01:03:35.120 is helping the
01:03:37.020 Houthis target
01:03:37.920 American warships.
01:03:39.140 So, it's
01:03:42.400 called the
01:03:42.800 Chinese
01:03:43.240 Changguang
01:03:44.100 Satellite
01:03:44.700 Technology
01:03:45.300 Company.
01:03:46.260 Now, what
01:03:46.920 happens if
01:03:48.060 we're sure
01:03:48.800 that they're
01:03:49.400 the bad
01:03:49.880 guys and
01:03:51.560 they're helping
01:03:52.100 the Houthis?
01:03:53.440 Does that
01:03:54.140 mean we
01:03:55.060 would try to
01:03:56.140 attack the
01:03:56.800 Chinese
01:03:57.200 satellites?
01:03:59.060 You know,
01:03:59.600 even though
01:03:59.960 it's a private
01:04:00.460 company, it's
01:04:01.220 not the
01:04:01.620 government
01:04:01.960 satellites, but
01:04:04.020 would that be
01:04:04.940 starting World
01:04:05.640 War III in
01:04:06.480 space with
01:04:07.200 China?
01:04:07.560 or are
01:04:09.520 we just
01:04:09.980 going to
01:04:10.260 say,
01:04:11.400 are we
01:04:13.560 just going
01:04:13.920 to say,
01:04:15.180 all right,
01:04:18.620 I don't
01:04:19.180 know what
01:04:19.400 that means.
01:04:19.880 I see it
01:04:20.260 in the
01:04:20.500 comments.
01:04:23.100 So, I
01:04:23.760 worry about
01:04:24.300 this, that
01:04:24.940 this could
01:04:25.280 be an
01:04:25.580 escalation.
01:04:26.500 We'll
01:04:26.780 see.
01:04:29.920 There's
01:04:30.400 also the
01:04:30.900 story of
01:04:31.620 whether
01:04:31.900 Trump
01:04:32.500 waved
01:04:32.980 off an
01:04:33.520 Israeli
01:04:34.020 plan to
01:04:34.800 attack
01:04:35.200 Iran.
01:04:35.700 So, a
01:04:36.000 reporter
01:04:36.300 asked the
01:04:36.760 question this
01:04:37.260 way.
01:04:37.560 Trump, did
01:04:39.560 you wave
01:04:40.080 off an
01:04:40.940 Israeli
01:04:41.360 plan to
01:04:42.060 attack
01:04:42.460 Iran?
01:04:43.740 And
01:04:44.260 Trump
01:04:44.500 says, I
01:04:45.220 wouldn't
01:04:45.500 say waved
01:04:46.180 off.
01:04:47.480 I think
01:04:48.220 that Iran
01:04:48.660 has a
01:04:49.080 chance to
01:04:49.480 have a
01:04:49.720 great
01:04:49.920 country and
01:04:50.980 to live
01:04:51.320 happily
01:04:51.740 without
01:04:52.160 death, and
01:04:52.760 I'd like
01:04:53.120 to see
01:04:53.400 that.
01:04:53.780 That's
01:04:53.960 my first
01:04:54.460 option.
01:04:55.900 But then
01:04:56.280 there's
01:04:56.560 further
01:04:56.880 reports
01:04:57.500 that he
01:04:58.840 wasn't
01:04:59.200 the only
01:04:59.580 one who
01:05:00.160 may have
01:05:01.340 waved
01:05:01.840 off
01:05:02.260 the war,
01:05:03.360 but that
01:05:04.040 Tulsi
01:05:04.400 Gabbard,
01:05:05.020 Pete
01:05:05.200 Hankseth,
01:05:05.860 Susie
01:05:06.260 Wiles,
01:05:06.740 and J.D.
01:05:07.380 Vance,
01:05:08.620 all worked
01:05:09.720 together to
01:05:10.760 recommend not
01:05:12.200 going to
01:05:12.740 war or
01:05:13.320 supporting Israel
01:05:14.180 going to
01:05:14.660 war with
01:05:15.740 Iran.
01:05:17.140 Now, how
01:05:18.340 much do you
01:05:18.860 like that?
01:05:21.420 If that's what
01:05:22.640 happened, and of
01:05:23.500 course you can
01:05:23.940 never be sure,
01:05:25.260 but if that's
01:05:26.060 what's happened,
01:05:27.200 that's what we
01:05:28.740 wanted, isn't
01:05:30.260 it?
01:05:30.480 didn't we
01:05:31.840 want a
01:05:33.000 block of
01:05:34.000 people who
01:05:34.560 are really
01:05:35.000 good at
01:05:35.640 doing what
01:05:36.820 they do,
01:05:38.300 you know,
01:05:39.420 they can be
01:05:39.960 as lethal
01:05:40.520 as you
01:05:40.920 need them
01:05:41.300 to be,
01:05:42.060 but they're
01:05:42.940 smart enough
01:05:43.560 to know it
01:05:44.580 doesn't work
01:05:45.180 most of the
01:05:45.640 time, and
01:05:47.120 to be
01:05:47.440 opposed to
01:05:48.180 starting new
01:05:48.900 wars.
01:05:50.560 How could
01:05:51.420 Trump ever
01:05:52.260 be Trump
01:05:52.960 if he
01:05:53.460 starts a
01:05:54.120 war?
01:05:55.640 If Trump
01:05:56.460 starts a
01:05:57.160 war, then
01:05:57.840 the best
01:05:58.280 thing about
01:05:58.780 Trump just
01:05:59.340 goes away
01:05:59.860 forever, which
01:06:01.620 is he
01:06:02.040 doesn't start
01:06:02.620 wars.
01:06:04.180 It's bad
01:06:04.940 enough that
01:06:05.440 the Houthi
01:06:06.140 situation is
01:06:07.040 happening,
01:06:07.640 because that's
01:06:08.060 pretty much
01:06:08.600 starting a
01:06:09.160 war, but
01:06:10.160 you could
01:06:10.760 explain it
01:06:11.360 away as a
01:06:12.080 special case.
01:06:12.980 It's not a
01:06:13.480 war, we're
01:06:14.060 just trying
01:06:15.600 to keep our
01:06:16.680 shipping safe
01:06:17.940 or something.
01:06:19.180 But if we
01:06:20.040 were to
01:06:20.820 actively
01:06:21.680 participate in
01:06:23.000 a major
01:06:23.420 attack on
01:06:24.320 the Iranian
01:06:25.020 homeland, I
01:06:27.340 don't think
01:06:27.800 that problem
01:06:28.360 would ever
01:06:28.860 go away.
01:06:30.600 Because
01:06:31.160 whatever it
01:06:32.160 is that
01:06:32.580 Iran has
01:06:33.500 as a
01:06:33.840 reaction to
01:06:34.480 that probably
01:06:36.260 involves cyber
01:06:38.740 stuff, probably
01:06:40.660 involves the
01:06:41.580 sabotage in
01:06:42.500 the homeland
01:06:42.940 of America,
01:06:45.200 in which we're
01:06:46.060 very susceptible
01:06:46.840 to that.
01:06:49.040 So a lot
01:06:50.020 would depend
01:06:50.580 on how much
01:06:51.400 Iran wanted
01:06:52.180 to respond,
01:06:53.600 or if they
01:06:54.240 decided that
01:06:54.960 their best
01:06:55.380 play is to
01:06:56.000 just take
01:06:56.400 the hit.
01:06:58.540 We don't
01:06:59.300 know.
01:07:00.660 So I
01:07:01.660 like the
01:07:02.100 fact that
01:07:02.800 our government
01:07:03.740 is not all
01:07:04.540 on one side
01:07:05.420 saying, yes,
01:07:06.720 war, war, war,
01:07:07.660 but that we
01:07:08.800 have serious
01:07:09.540 people who
01:07:10.280 are very
01:07:10.680 smart and
01:07:12.240 I trust
01:07:13.560 because they
01:07:14.500 have records
01:07:15.180 of being on
01:07:16.540 the right side
01:07:17.060 of things.
01:07:18.680 And Susie
01:07:19.160 Wiles has a
01:07:19.780 great reputation,
01:07:21.300 et cetera.
01:07:21.780 We've seen
01:07:22.400 J.D. Vance's
01:07:23.300 comments from
01:07:23.980 the leaks
01:07:25.240 from the
01:07:25.700 signal stuff.
01:07:26.960 We know
01:07:27.640 he's not
01:07:28.080 big on
01:07:28.500 starting
01:07:28.860 wars.
01:07:30.300 So I
01:07:31.200 love the
01:07:31.600 fact that
01:07:32.180 there's a
01:07:32.720 trusted set
01:07:34.000 of advisors
01:07:34.780 who are
01:07:36.140 talking to
01:07:36.660 the president
01:07:37.180 and saying
01:07:37.880 it doesn't
01:07:39.540 make sense.
01:07:40.680 It's not
01:07:41.320 in our best
01:07:41.800 interest.
01:07:43.260 I like
01:07:44.060 that.
01:07:46.920 So
01:07:47.480 in related
01:07:49.980 news,
01:07:50.980 Hamas has
01:07:52.580 rejected
01:07:53.080 Israel's
01:07:53.820 ceasefire
01:07:54.320 proposal
01:07:54.980 and they
01:07:57.220 don't want
01:07:58.400 any kind
01:07:58.800 of temporary
01:07:59.320 pause.
01:07:59.940 This is what
01:08:00.400 Hamas says.
01:08:01.500 No, we
01:08:01.840 don't want
01:08:02.120 any temporary
01:08:02.620 pause to
01:08:03.600 give you
01:08:04.280 back any
01:08:04.960 hostages.
01:08:06.520 We want
01:08:07.260 everything on
01:08:08.600 the table.
01:08:09.220 So they
01:08:09.480 want a
01:08:09.800 permanent
01:08:10.120 ceasefire,
01:08:11.060 full reconstruction
01:08:11.940 of Gaza,
01:08:13.100 and the
01:08:13.440 release of
01:08:14.040 the Palestinian
01:08:15.120 prisoners.
01:08:16.960 In return,
01:08:18.500 Israel would
01:08:19.280 get all of
01:08:19.760 its hostages
01:08:20.340 back.
01:08:20.980 Now,
01:08:22.200 let me
01:08:24.060 give you
01:08:24.360 some real
01:08:24.980 world
01:08:25.540 interpretation.
01:08:28.480 I think
01:08:29.620 that Israel
01:08:31.020 has decided
01:08:31.800 that it's
01:08:33.180 much better
01:08:33.720 off giving
01:08:35.260 Hamas
01:08:35.820 nothing,
01:08:37.280 destroying
01:08:37.780 them once
01:08:38.380 and forever,
01:08:40.100 never giving
01:08:40.960 Gaza back,
01:08:42.200 just completely
01:08:43.020 owning Gaza,
01:08:44.240 and then
01:08:44.800 resettling all
01:08:45.820 of the Gaza
01:08:46.560 residents in
01:08:48.140 Arab countries
01:08:49.520 or keeping
01:08:50.100 them in
01:08:50.680 essentially
01:08:51.480 outdoor prison
01:08:52.360 camps for
01:08:52.960 the rest of
01:08:53.400 their life,
01:08:53.900 and then
01:08:54.920 make the
01:08:55.380 other Arab
01:08:56.880 countries say,
01:08:58.300 hey,
01:08:59.360 if you're on
01:09:00.580 their team,
01:09:02.420 why don't you
01:09:02.820 open up your
01:09:03.360 country?
01:09:04.520 Why don't you
01:09:05.200 let them live
01:09:05.640 in your country?
01:09:06.220 and that would
01:09:07.800 be a good
01:09:08.620 argument forever,
01:09:10.600 meaning that
01:09:11.300 the Gaza
01:09:12.000 residents would
01:09:12.880 have the
01:09:14.560 worst life
01:09:15.140 ever.
01:09:15.460 war, but
01:09:18.480 is that
01:09:18.880 Israel's
01:09:19.480 problem?
01:09:21.140 And they
01:09:21.780 could certainly
01:09:22.280 make it look
01:09:22.880 like it was
01:09:23.540 the other
01:09:24.080 Arab countries
01:09:24.920 hating them
01:09:25.700 so much
01:09:26.220 that they
01:09:26.660 can't even
01:09:27.160 take them
01:09:27.700 in, and
01:09:29.120 then Israel
01:09:29.680 would say,
01:09:30.160 well, why
01:09:30.520 should we
01:09:31.020 like them
01:09:32.500 more than
01:09:32.900 you do?
01:09:34.640 It would be
01:09:35.040 a strong
01:09:35.440 argument.
01:09:36.540 So, in
01:09:37.100 my opinion,
01:09:37.840 Israel has
01:09:38.640 a close
01:09:40.780 to a free
01:09:41.400 pass to
01:09:43.020 simply increase
01:09:44.140 the size
01:09:44.680 of Israel
01:09:45.260 in a
01:09:45.960 strategic
01:09:46.400 way and
01:09:47.620 get rid
01:09:48.140 of their
01:09:49.220 biggest enemy
01:09:50.000 once and
01:09:50.800 for all.
01:09:52.220 And the
01:09:54.000 expense of
01:09:54.760 that is
01:09:55.420 the remaining
01:09:56.020 hostages,
01:09:57.080 who are
01:09:58.040 probably,
01:09:58.860 most of
01:09:59.480 them dead
01:10:00.000 or near
01:10:00.740 death or
01:10:02.600 in a
01:10:02.920 situation in
01:10:03.720 which life
01:10:04.520 wouldn't be
01:10:04.940 much of an
01:10:05.460 upgrade.
01:10:07.200 So, I
01:10:09.280 think maybe
01:10:09.800 Israel is
01:10:10.500 taking the
01:10:11.040 real-world
01:10:11.700 decision that
01:10:13.260 the hostages
01:10:14.120 they've done
01:10:15.100 what they
01:10:15.440 can do and
01:10:16.460 there just
01:10:16.780 won't be any
01:10:17.340 new hostages
01:10:18.160 coming.
01:10:19.520 And Hamas
01:10:20.480 is silly to
01:10:21.960 imagine that
01:10:22.680 they're going to
01:10:23.080 get reconstruction
01:10:24.080 and people are
01:10:25.060 going to move
01:10:25.420 back in and
01:10:26.420 then Hamas
01:10:27.820 will be back
01:10:28.440 in charge and
01:10:29.260 they can
01:10:29.560 reconstitute.
01:10:31.360 None of
01:10:31.900 that's going
01:10:32.320 to happen.
01:10:34.300 And by
01:10:34.920 the way,
01:10:36.160 am I the
01:10:37.340 only person
01:10:37.980 who told you
01:10:38.540 that a long
01:10:39.220 time ago?
01:10:39.860 I think I
01:10:40.480 am.
01:10:41.300 I think I'm
01:10:42.120 the only person
01:10:43.060 who told you
01:10:43.800 they're not
01:10:45.200 going to
01:10:45.420 reconstitute
01:10:46.040 Gaza.
01:10:47.740 Back when
01:10:48.800 everybody thought
01:10:49.620 that was the
01:10:50.240 obvious likely
01:10:51.220 thing, is that
01:10:52.440 war would go
01:10:53.100 on for a
01:10:53.600 while and
01:10:54.100 then Gaza
01:10:55.460 would be
01:10:55.900 rebuilt.
01:10:57.080 And I kept
01:10:57.780 saying,
01:10:58.340 there's no
01:10:59.020 way.
01:10:59.900 No, Israel
01:11:01.080 is not going
01:11:01.920 to rebuild
01:11:02.380 Gaza.
01:11:03.100 They're just
01:11:03.480 not going to
01:11:04.040 let Hamas
01:11:04.660 ever have
01:11:05.380 even one
01:11:07.340 inch of
01:11:08.840 control of
01:11:09.580 Gaza.
01:11:09.880 It's just
01:11:10.700 never going
01:11:11.420 to happen.
01:11:12.620 And I
01:11:13.500 thought that
01:11:13.880 was always
01:11:14.340 revealed in
01:11:16.160 Israel's
01:11:17.000 statement about
01:11:18.380 what their
01:11:18.800 intention was.
01:11:20.500 They said
01:11:21.400 on day
01:11:21.800 one, you
01:11:22.800 know, kind
01:11:24.500 of day one
01:11:25.040 after October
01:11:25.720 7, they
01:11:27.000 said that the
01:11:28.120 reality in
01:11:28.900 Gaza would
01:11:29.460 never be the
01:11:30.100 same.
01:11:31.100 What did
01:11:31.880 that mean to
01:11:32.500 you?
01:11:33.320 It wasn't
01:11:34.180 just talk.
01:11:35.680 The reality
01:11:36.840 in Gaza would
01:11:37.820 never be the
01:11:38.540 same.
01:11:39.500 And then
01:11:39.800 they said
01:11:40.400 that their
01:11:40.960 ambition was
01:11:42.960 total victory.
01:11:44.500 Well, what
01:11:45.240 does that
01:11:45.640 mean?
01:11:47.040 Total victory
01:11:47.780 doesn't mean
01:11:48.400 Hamas
01:11:48.960 reconstitutes.
01:11:50.600 That wouldn't
01:11:51.380 even be close
01:11:52.100 to total
01:11:52.540 victory.
01:11:53.420 Total victory
01:11:54.000 means Hamas
01:11:54.960 is gone and
01:11:55.820 there's no way
01:11:56.340 they're coming
01:11:56.740 back.
01:11:57.720 And there's
01:11:58.100 no other way
01:11:58.920 to get it
01:11:59.400 done.
01:12:00.360 You have to
01:12:00.940 actually just
01:12:01.580 depopulate
01:12:02.700 Gaza.
01:12:05.020 Now, again,
01:12:06.120 if you're new
01:12:07.280 to my
01:12:07.840 program,
01:12:10.180 what you're
01:12:11.240 not hearing
01:12:11.860 is my
01:12:12.540 preference
01:12:13.160 because it's
01:12:15.780 not my
01:12:16.160 country.
01:12:17.140 I'm not
01:12:17.940 Gaza and
01:12:18.840 I'm not
01:12:19.220 Israel.
01:12:20.080 I'm an
01:12:20.820 American.
01:12:22.340 And so
01:12:22.780 my filter
01:12:23.760 on this,
01:12:24.940 on the
01:12:25.920 entire
01:12:26.400 conflict
01:12:26.980 is power.
01:12:29.620 It's not
01:12:30.440 morality.
01:12:31.580 It's not
01:12:32.440 ethics.
01:12:32.900 I think
01:12:33.300 people like
01:12:33.980 comic Dave
01:12:35.120 Smith
01:12:35.520 will try
01:12:37.380 to put
01:12:37.680 things in
01:12:38.200 the frame
01:12:38.700 of morality
01:12:39.400 and ethics.
01:12:41.080 And I
01:12:41.860 think it's
01:12:42.300 good that
01:12:42.700 people try
01:12:43.260 to do
01:12:43.540 that,
01:12:44.280 but it's
01:12:45.020 not relevant
01:12:45.600 because nobody's
01:12:47.720 ethics will
01:12:48.440 make any
01:12:48.960 difference.
01:12:49.940 If I make
01:12:50.800 a really
01:12:51.360 good argument
01:12:52.120 that Israel
01:12:53.620 should do
01:12:54.180 something
01:12:54.540 different,
01:12:55.700 it won't
01:12:56.420 matter.
01:12:57.120 They're not
01:12:57.440 going to do
01:12:57.780 anything
01:12:58.020 different because
01:12:58.680 I made a
01:12:59.220 clever argument
01:13:00.060 about ethics
01:13:01.080 or that
01:13:02.260 Dave Smith
01:13:02.940 has an
01:13:03.620 opinion
01:13:03.940 about ethics.
01:13:05.640 And by
01:13:06.220 the way,
01:13:07.100 his and
01:13:08.140 other people's
01:13:08.880 opinion about
01:13:09.600 ethics,
01:13:11.040 perfectly
01:13:11.460 valid.
01:13:12.400 I'm glad
01:13:12.820 that people
01:13:13.220 are having
01:13:13.600 that conversation,
01:13:15.000 but it
01:13:15.760 isn't relevant
01:13:16.440 to anything
01:13:17.180 that will
01:13:17.620 happen in
01:13:18.360 the real
01:13:18.720 world.
01:13:19.680 So I
01:13:20.220 just take
01:13:20.720 a real
01:13:21.120 world view
01:13:22.480 that if
01:13:23.700 Hamas
01:13:26.400 had power,
01:13:27.820 that would
01:13:28.820 be terrible
01:13:29.440 for his
01:13:29.920 Israel in
01:13:30.500 ways that
01:13:31.200 are almost
01:13:31.900 impossible to
01:13:32.700 imagine.
01:13:34.080 At the
01:13:34.840 same time,
01:13:35.780 if Israel
01:13:36.460 has all
01:13:36.940 the power,
01:13:38.120 which largely
01:13:38.900 they do,
01:13:40.520 things are
01:13:41.160 going to get
01:13:41.520 really bad
01:13:42.300 for Hamas
01:13:43.820 in ways that
01:13:44.620 are almost
01:13:45.360 impossible to
01:13:46.160 imagine.
01:13:47.220 And also,
01:13:48.340 a lot of
01:13:48.840 people who
01:13:49.640 maybe were
01:13:51.600 mildly
01:13:52.260 supportive or
01:13:53.400 had a
01:13:54.300 preference for
01:13:54.980 Hamas and
01:13:55.740 lived there,
01:13:56.760 their lives
01:13:57.560 will be
01:13:58.080 absolutely
01:13:58.580 horrible.
01:13:59.920 and I
01:14:01.500 don't
01:14:01.700 support it
01:14:02.540 and I
01:14:03.760 don't oppose
01:14:04.380 it because
01:14:05.520 it's none
01:14:06.040 of my
01:14:06.560 control.
01:14:08.440 I have no
01:14:09.020 control and
01:14:10.120 my opinion
01:14:10.640 has no
01:14:11.260 sway.
01:14:12.560 So I
01:14:13.420 just observe
01:14:14.320 it and
01:14:15.740 try to
01:14:16.140 predict it.
01:14:17.520 So all I
01:14:18.820 can do is
01:14:19.600 observe and
01:14:20.260 predict.
01:14:21.200 If you want
01:14:22.160 to say that
01:14:22.900 it's unethical
01:14:24.300 and immoral,
01:14:25.060 I agree and
01:14:27.440 if the
01:14:27.900 power were
01:14:28.780 reversed,
01:14:29.960 it would be
01:14:30.600 immoral and
01:14:31.340 unethical in
01:14:32.340 the opposite
01:14:32.800 direction.
01:14:33.840 So the
01:14:34.580 immoral and
01:14:35.220 unethical just
01:14:36.140 sort of follows
01:14:36.920 from who has
01:14:37.600 the power
01:14:38.100 and right now
01:14:40.540 it's Israel
01:14:41.020 and it doesn't
01:14:42.300 look like that's
01:14:42.920 going to change
01:14:43.460 anytime soon.
01:14:44.800 So that's just
01:14:45.840 the reality of
01:14:46.580 it.
01:14:47.000 You don't have
01:14:47.980 to be in
01:14:48.360 favor of it
01:14:49.120 or opposed
01:14:49.740 to it.
01:14:50.280 It's just
01:14:50.840 what it is
01:14:51.400 and there's
01:14:51.960 no way it's
01:14:52.380 going to
01:14:52.600 change.
01:14:54.760 So anyway,
01:14:57.580 oh, more
01:14:58.100 on that
01:14:58.580 Russia-Ukraine
01:15:00.540 thing.
01:15:01.420 When Rubio
01:15:02.520 says that
01:15:03.800 we might be
01:15:04.440 done with
01:15:05.700 negotiating if
01:15:06.580 something doesn't
01:15:07.220 happen pretty
01:15:07.800 quickly, he
01:15:10.160 says in a
01:15:10.700 matter of
01:15:11.140 days they
01:15:12.000 would know
01:15:12.380 if any
01:15:12.860 deal could
01:15:13.320 happen.
01:15:14.960 You should
01:15:15.780 always expect
01:15:16.700 that in a
01:15:17.400 negotiation of
01:15:18.520 that magnitude
01:15:19.700 there would
01:15:20.720 always be at
01:15:21.280 least one
01:15:21.740 walk away.
01:15:23.580 You know,
01:15:23.820 where one
01:15:24.600 side says,
01:15:25.280 all right,
01:15:25.540 I'm done.
01:15:26.180 There's no
01:15:26.560 deal to be
01:15:27.060 had.
01:15:27.460 We're done
01:15:27.880 here.
01:15:28.480 And it's
01:15:29.040 just part of
01:15:29.520 the negotiating.
01:15:31.120 So if you
01:15:32.640 think that
01:15:33.100 that's what
01:15:33.540 Rubio is
01:15:34.120 doing, you
01:15:35.160 might be
01:15:35.760 right because
01:15:37.460 it would fit
01:15:38.560 the pattern
01:15:39.080 of Trump
01:15:39.740 negotiating,
01:15:40.760 which is to
01:15:41.600 say, all
01:15:42.120 right, we're
01:15:42.460 going to give
01:15:42.760 it our best
01:15:43.200 shot.
01:15:44.040 Uh-oh,
01:15:44.540 looks like we
01:15:45.980 can't make a
01:15:46.580 deal.
01:15:46.880 You're going
01:15:47.140 to have to
01:15:47.440 go kill
01:15:48.500 each other
01:15:49.040 for infinity
01:15:50.380 and then walk
01:15:52.040 away and
01:15:53.360 then hope
01:15:53.880 that both
01:15:54.360 sides beg
01:15:55.140 you to
01:15:55.480 come back
01:15:56.040 and then
01:15:57.000 they get
01:15:57.300 more flexible.
01:15:58.620 I don't
01:15:59.300 think that's
01:15:59.820 going to
01:16:00.040 happen in
01:16:00.580 this case.
01:16:02.020 So whether
01:16:02.840 or not it's
01:16:03.620 intended to
01:16:04.500 be part of
01:16:05.160 the negotiation,
01:16:06.640 the backing
01:16:07.880 out, I don't
01:16:09.360 think there's
01:16:09.760 any backing
01:16:10.300 in because
01:16:11.760 there's nothing
01:16:12.500 to be had.
01:16:14.140 I think that
01:16:15.120 Russia prefers
01:16:16.520 continuing
01:16:18.160 fighting.
01:16:18.860 I think
01:16:19.140 Ukraine prefers
01:16:20.140 it for their
01:16:20.760 own reasons.
01:16:22.020 And if both
01:16:22.540 sides prefer
01:16:23.400 it, which
01:16:25.060 seems to be
01:16:25.680 the case, you
01:16:26.920 really can't
01:16:27.800 expect to get
01:16:28.480 a deal.
01:16:29.680 And that's
01:16:30.280 what it looks
01:16:30.680 like to me.
01:16:31.380 Two sides
01:16:31.880 still want to
01:16:32.540 fight.
01:16:33.800 And I think
01:16:34.640 that especially
01:16:35.780 when it becomes
01:16:36.600 drones versus
01:16:37.500 drones, well
01:16:39.260 then of course
01:16:40.200 they're willing
01:16:40.720 to fight because
01:16:42.080 they won't even
01:16:42.580 be losing
01:16:43.100 people at
01:16:43.760 that point.
01:16:45.280 So they're
01:16:46.960 heading toward
01:16:47.720 a situation
01:16:48.460 in which
01:16:49.120 they're more
01:16:50.520 incentivized to
01:16:51.520 fight, not
01:16:52.560 less, because
01:16:54.260 the people
01:16:54.940 part will be
01:16:55.820 removed and
01:16:56.940 there will be
01:16:58.360 still something
01:16:59.080 that looks like
01:16:59.680 war happening.
01:17:01.760 So I'm sure
01:17:02.900 that's what
01:17:03.240 they want.
01:17:06.240 Then in
01:17:07.520 related news,
01:17:09.880 according to
01:17:10.400 the European
01:17:11.080 Conservative,
01:17:12.080 I guess that's
01:17:12.560 that's a
01:17:12.860 publication,
01:17:14.280 Kiev is
01:17:15.800 nearing a
01:17:16.340 deal on
01:17:16.820 minerals so
01:17:18.600 that there
01:17:18.980 would be
01:17:19.260 some Trump
01:17:20.020 related deal
01:17:20.900 for a mineral
01:17:22.000 thing where
01:17:23.440 the U.S.
01:17:24.200 and maybe
01:17:25.060 some other
01:17:25.740 countries would
01:17:26.980 be part of a
01:17:27.820 deal to
01:17:28.840 exploit minerals
01:17:30.080 and share
01:17:33.520 the money
01:17:33.940 with Ukraine.
01:17:36.080 I'm going to
01:17:38.360 say I don't
01:17:39.060 think that deal
01:17:39.680 is going to
01:17:40.040 happen.
01:17:42.320 Even though
01:17:43.300 the news is
01:17:44.100 it's getting
01:17:44.540 close and
01:17:45.280 there's been
01:17:46.360 compromises that
01:17:47.480 make it really
01:17:47.980 close, I don't
01:17:49.140 believe it.
01:17:51.060 I just don't
01:17:52.380 think you can
01:17:53.040 make a deal
01:17:53.580 with Ukraine.
01:17:56.280 Maybe it's
01:17:57.040 because we
01:17:57.620 ask for too
01:17:58.380 much.
01:17:59.600 Maybe it's
01:18:00.100 because they're
01:18:00.620 too weaselly and
01:18:01.580 can't be
01:18:01.960 trusted.
01:18:02.400 I just
01:18:04.460 don't think
01:18:04.860 it's going
01:18:05.140 to happen.
01:18:06.400 Now, our
01:18:07.180 route for it
01:18:07.780 to happen
01:18:08.180 because we
01:18:10.640 would like to
01:18:11.200 get those
01:18:11.600 minerals and
01:18:13.340 wouldn't it be
01:18:13.960 good if we
01:18:14.620 got some
01:18:15.020 money out of
01:18:15.580 Ukraine and
01:18:16.480 monetized it?
01:18:18.380 And wouldn't
01:18:18.940 it be good for
01:18:19.500 Ukraine to
01:18:20.480 also be making
01:18:21.560 some money that
01:18:22.420 would be hard
01:18:23.040 for them to do
01:18:23.620 without the
01:18:24.280 international
01:18:24.880 help?
01:18:26.380 I just don't
01:18:27.760 think that we're
01:18:28.500 dealing with an
01:18:29.320 entity that can
01:18:30.100 make a deal.
01:18:31.320 I just don't
01:18:32.360 think we have
01:18:35.560 what you need
01:18:36.040 to make a
01:18:36.500 deal.
01:18:36.980 I think there
01:18:37.660 are too many
01:18:38.120 interests, too
01:18:38.820 many criminals,
01:18:39.960 and I think
01:18:40.620 that literally
01:18:42.060 the problem in
01:18:43.120 Ukraine is
01:18:44.540 that the people
01:18:45.400 who would
01:18:46.040 normally skim
01:18:47.000 all the money
01:18:47.560 off a deal
01:18:48.100 like that may
01:18:49.580 be seeing that
01:18:50.360 the deal is
01:18:51.020 being structured
01:18:51.720 so that there's
01:18:52.780 no corruption
01:18:54.460 allowed.
01:18:55.920 That would
01:18:56.620 kill the
01:18:57.080 deal.
01:18:58.380 Probably the
01:18:59.500 money that
01:19:00.460 money people
01:19:02.940 in Ukraine
01:19:03.660 just have
01:19:05.660 one business
01:19:06.400 model, which
01:19:07.020 is they skim
01:19:07.780 money off of
01:19:08.580 every deal.
01:19:10.300 And if they
01:19:10.980 can't find a way
01:19:11.620 to skim some
01:19:12.420 money off a
01:19:13.040 mineral deal,
01:19:14.240 they would
01:19:15.500 probably try to
01:19:16.220 kill it so
01:19:17.320 that later maybe
01:19:18.120 they can do a
01:19:18.740 mineral deal where
01:19:19.560 they can skim
01:19:20.240 some money,
01:19:21.100 like a lot of
01:19:21.800 money, because
01:19:22.520 there's so much
01:19:23.040 involved.
01:19:26.080 Well, that's
01:19:26.860 what I think is
01:19:27.480 happening.
01:19:27.760 No peace
01:19:29.220 deals anywhere.
01:19:32.680 And drones
01:19:33.480 will be the
01:19:34.320 preferred war
01:19:37.700 weapons for a
01:19:39.760 long time.
01:19:41.400 All right.
01:19:42.340 Ladies and
01:19:43.100 gentlemen, that
01:19:43.600 brings me to the
01:19:44.280 conclusion of my
