Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2829 CWSA 05⧸04⧸25

00:00:00.960 Let's see if our comments are working.

00:00:05.220 And then we've got a show for you.

00:00:08.020 It'll be amazing.

00:00:10.400 First one to make a Star Wars pun

00:00:13.240 gets one demerit.

00:00:30.000 Good morning, everybody,

00:00:35.040 and welcome to the Highlight of Human Civilization Sunday Edition.

00:00:39.260 If you'd like to take your experience up to levels

00:00:42.260 that nobody can even understand

00:00:43.800 with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:46.840 well, all you need for that is a cup or mug

00:00:49.220 or a glass of tank or chelsea stein,

00:00:50.980 a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:52.640 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:54.620 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:56.440 I like coffee.

00:00:57.180 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:01:00.700 of the dopamine of the day,

00:01:02.300 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:03.840 It's called the simultaneous sip,

00:01:05.500 and it's going to happen right now.

00:01:08.220 Right now.

00:01:10.560 EJ says,

00:01:12.120 Scott, you're a dishonest man.

00:01:14.480 I'll drink to that.

00:01:23.480 I like to see the comments from the terrible people.

00:01:27.180 Let me just insult your character,

00:01:31.700 and we'll start from there.

00:01:34.080 All right.

00:01:35.660 Well, I've got a movie recommendation for you.

00:01:41.720 So the other day I watched the new year 2025,

00:01:47.260 Captain America.

00:01:48.480 Now, if you haven't seen it,

00:01:51.640 Captain America is black this time, 0.64

00:01:55.300 but he's not the only Captain America,

00:01:58.000 because I guess the idea is there's more than one Captain America,

00:02:02.400 and there was an original one,

00:02:05.000 and then there were a few others,

00:02:06.600 and then there's the 2025 version.

00:02:09.120 But the new one is black, 0.61

00:02:12.240 and the original one is also black.

00:02:16.940 So there were two Captain Americas in this movie,

00:02:21.560 and they both starred,

00:02:23.200 and they were both black Captain Americans.

00:02:25.380 But there's the news that Disney wanted more from Marvel,

00:02:31.640 but now it wants less.

00:02:33.120 I guess the people are getting tired of the superhero genre,

00:02:38.700 but maybe they're getting tired of just remaking everything to be woke.

00:02:44.640 Maybe.

00:02:45.340 I don't know.

00:02:46.400 It was an okay movie.

00:02:47.760 It wasn't really any better or any worse than the other ones,

00:02:52.780 which are all kind of boring at this point.

00:02:55.740 I don't think any of the superhero movies are worth watching.

00:03:00.840 So we'll see.

00:03:03.240 Australia is launching the world's largest battery-powered ship.

00:03:08.800 It can carry up to 2,100 passengers and 225 vehicles,

00:03:13.440 and it's entirely battery-powered.

00:03:16.100 Now, of course, you're going to ask,

00:03:20.160 what happens if there's a battery fire?

00:03:23.240 Do you jump underwater with the sharks,

00:03:25.100 or do you let it burn you up?

00:03:26.640 I don't know.

00:03:28.240 I don't know.

00:03:29.020 I'm just telling you that there's the world's biggest battery-powered,

00:03:33.280 I think it's some kind of a shuttle,

00:03:36.320 and it's 426 feet long.

00:03:41.000 It's a big-ass boat.

00:03:42.300 So here's another story that I like a lot,

00:03:48.360 if I understand it.

00:03:50.480 So in California, probably other places too,

00:03:54.640 there are companies like Tesla that will sell you a battery for your home.

00:03:59.660 So you might have solar panels,

00:04:01.800 and then you can charge up your own home battery,

00:04:04.340 so you've got some backup power.

00:04:07.560 But another company that does that is Sunrun,

00:04:12.720 and their CalReady system.

00:04:14.780 And apparently what they've done is they've networked together 56,000 homes

00:04:21.400 that have their batteries.

00:04:23.120 And if you have enough solar panels on enough houses,

00:04:28.500 and they each have their own batteries,

00:04:31.120 apparently you can turn it into essentially its own power system.

00:04:37.400 So even though that's 56,000 homes that are connected,

00:04:41.980 it would power 280,000 homes,

00:04:45.600 which would be the equivalent of all of Ventura County.

00:04:48.900 Now, if I'm understanding this correctly,

00:04:55.540 this would be one of the greatest energy accomplishments of all time.

00:05:01.060 Because if you just have your own solar panels and your own battery,

00:05:05.140 it's kind of good.

00:05:07.040 But, you know, if things go bad,

00:05:08.820 you might not have enough battery personally.

00:05:12.340 But apparently if you've got all these batteries connected,

00:05:15.580 you don't have to worry too much about ever running out of energy.

00:05:21.400 So that's pretty impressive.

00:05:23.820 And then the people who become part of the network get paid.

00:05:27.220 So they get paid for being part of the network,

00:05:30.300 and they get pretty good power.

00:05:34.460 Allegedly, Hyundai the automaker,

00:05:38.040 they've got a plant in Georgia,

00:05:40.320 and they're going to use Atlas robots to automate their plant. 0.57

00:05:47.340 So do you believe that?

00:05:50.140 I feel like all the robot stories are a little premature.

00:05:54.920 They might be testing it,

00:05:57.200 but they aim to manufacture 100,000 electric and hybrid vehicles annually.

00:06:02.840 But they're going to use the bipedal robots, bipedal.

00:06:08.180 In other words, the two-legged robots developed by Boston Dynamics.

00:06:12.980 And they're going to do a whole bunch of different tasks

00:06:15.300 that are part of assembling that car.

00:06:18.680 And the idea is that the robots will automate up to 40% of the vehicle assembly

00:06:25.000 by the end of this year.

00:06:27.480 Does that sound even remotely possible to you,

00:06:32.080 that by the end of this year,

00:06:34.880 there will be an operational car-making plant in Georgia

00:06:41.060 where 40% of the effort will be done by robots, two-legged robots?

00:06:48.760 That seems a little bit optimistic, but we'll see.

00:06:51.740 You probably know that Elon Musk was starting his own city,

00:06:59.060 I guess in Texas, near where he was doing his SpaceX stuff.

00:07:04.420 And now it's official.

00:07:06.540 It's called Starbase Texas.

00:07:09.280 And I guess it's officially blessed by the state.

00:07:13.380 So you can add to Elon Musk's accomplishments

00:07:17.920 that he built a city.

00:07:21.740 That wasn't even like a major project.

00:07:26.340 So do you have any minor projects?

00:07:29.120 Well, I built a city.

00:07:32.060 I would love to know if this city has any special engineering features

00:07:38.280 that make it extra good to live in it.

00:07:41.640 But maybe we'll learn about that later.

00:07:43.280 I saw an interview with Laura Trump and Elon Musk

00:07:51.140 in which Musk was saying what he often says,

00:07:57.060 that Grok, the AI, should be maximally truth-seeking.

00:08:05.820 What do you think of that?

00:08:07.120 Do you think AI should be maximally truth-seeking?

00:08:13.640 Well, maybe not maximally,

00:08:18.280 because I think that the truth would destroy civilization.

00:08:23.720 How many of you believe that's true?

00:08:25.960 Because I'm not even going to give you examples

00:08:29.880 of where I think it would destroy civilization,

00:08:33.000 because if I gave you an example,

00:08:35.400 I would get double-cancelled.

00:08:39.220 So I can't even give you an example.

00:08:42.060 And you're telling me that AI is going to be able to say things

00:08:45.120 that I can't say out loud

00:08:46.420 because it's maximally truth-seeking?

00:08:50.260 No.

00:08:52.940 No.

00:08:54.480 We're not going to have a maximally truth-seeking AI

00:08:58.060 because it would rip the fabric of society in a hundred pieces.

00:09:03.240 We largely live in this world of illusion.

00:09:07.920 That's the only thing that keeps us from killing each other.

00:09:12.040 I'll just give you one illusion.

00:09:13.820 One of the illusions is that you can just work hard

00:09:18.120 and you'll do great.

00:09:21.980 Not really.

00:09:23.640 I mean, you would have to be unusually good-looking

00:09:25.880 or unusually smart.

00:09:28.320 Then if you work hard,

00:09:30.500 you might actually make something.

00:09:32.720 But you can't really tell people,

00:09:35.340 well, you know, given your capabilities,

00:09:38.320 you will always be a low-income person,

00:09:40.400 but you'll be part of supporting the rich people

00:09:43.080 so that they can have wonderful lives on your back.

00:09:47.360 Yeah.

00:09:47.660 No, you don't want maximally truth-seeking AI

00:09:50.500 because it's going to tell people things

00:09:52.380 that will make them stop working and want to kill you. 0.79

00:09:55.560 So there's that.

00:10:57.020 Fox News has a story that,

00:10:59.620 I'm not sure I completely believe this story,

00:11:03.320 but allegedly there's a Swiss writer

00:11:06.080 who called a journalist a, quote,

00:11:09.400 fat lesbian, 1.00

00:11:11.280 and for that was sentenced to 60 days in prison.

00:11:17.440 Do you think that's true?

00:11:20.540 Do you think that there's nothing else missing

00:11:22.880 in that story?

00:11:23.660 Hmm, I feel like there's something missing in the story.

00:11:28.160 You really can't call somebody a fat lesbian

00:11:30.500 without going to jail if you're Swiss.

00:11:35.080 I mean, I guess that's possible,

00:11:37.980 but it seems like there might be more to that story.

00:11:42.940 So, well, speaking of AI,

00:11:45.180 the new version of Grok,

00:11:47.140 which will be 3.5,

00:11:49.120 is going to drop next week.

00:11:51.040 And initially only for the super Grok users.

00:11:56.420 But apparently,

00:11:58.100 this will not just be a better version of Grok.

00:12:01.860 But this one is allegedly able to reason

00:12:05.460 from first principles.

00:12:08.500 Now, do you believe that?

00:12:11.020 Do you believe,

00:12:11.720 because that would be the next level of AI.

00:12:15.260 It's the one we haven't seen yet.

00:12:18.060 Do you think Grok already got there?

00:12:21.080 Because the large language model AIs, 1.00

00:12:24.920 the kind that are everywhere,

00:12:27.440 are really just pattern,

00:12:29.300 sort of pattern machines.

00:12:31.460 So they can just sort of guess

00:12:33.240 what the next word will be.

00:12:35.020 And, you know,

00:12:36.000 they can suck up a bunch of data on the internet

00:12:38.180 and regurgitate it.

00:12:40.300 But none of them can reason from first principles.

00:12:43.560 Now, do you think that Elon Musk has already cracked that?

00:12:49.920 And he's developed the first new version of AI

00:12:54.580 that would be a whole different level?

00:12:58.220 Maybe.

00:13:00.240 You know,

00:13:00.980 because I don't think he would lie about it.

00:13:02.720 So you must believe that it's there.

00:13:06.980 So we'll be watching that with great anticipation

00:13:10.100 to see if he's got the ultimate level.

00:13:14.380 Not the ultimate,

00:13:15.500 but it would be the next level of AI.

00:13:17.420 Well,

00:13:19.880 Warren Buffett,

00:13:21.100 who is,

00:13:21.800 I believe he's a thousand years old,

00:13:25.060 or maybe 94,

00:13:27.000 he's going to step down at the end of the year as CEO.

00:13:29.920 Now,

00:13:32.560 we don't know what that's going to do

00:13:34.320 to the Berkshire Hathaway stock,

00:13:37.240 because I'm not sure how much work he was doing

00:13:41.360 at the age of 94 anyway.

00:13:43.040 I'm sure he had good people

00:13:44.600 who were doing the heavy lifting.

00:13:47.620 But I'll tell you my bad investing story.

00:13:50.620 I may have told you this before,

00:13:52.660 that I think it was 25 years ago,

00:13:55.840 I put a good chunk of what little money I had at the time

00:14:00.860 into Berkshire Hathaway.

00:14:04.000 And sure enough,

00:14:06.060 you know,

00:14:06.280 just like you'd expect,

00:14:08.100 it did great.

00:14:09.740 I think it might have doubled

00:14:11.180 during the time that I held it.

00:14:13.500 And so I said to myself,

00:14:14.780 you know,

00:14:15.140 that Warren Buffett's looking pretty old.

00:14:17.480 I think he's going to retire

00:14:19.060 or maybe just die of natural causes.

00:14:21.560 And I don't want to be sitting

00:14:22.980 on this Berkshire Hathaway stock

00:14:25.120 when he goes.

00:14:27.160 If I had simply held that stock,

00:14:30.720 oh my God.

00:14:34.460 I don't know what percentage

00:14:36.240 it went up in the last 25 years,

00:14:38.440 but it was pretty good.

00:14:40.800 Pretty good.

00:14:41.500 So don't take my advice

00:14:44.620 for investing,

00:14:47.140 that's for sure.

00:14:49.520 Well, Warren Buffett

00:14:50.780 also has a half opinion.

00:14:52.880 You've heard me say that before.

00:14:55.880 A half opinion

00:14:56.680 is when you ignore

00:14:58.340 either the costs

00:14:59.540 or the benefits

00:15:00.400 of a situation

00:15:01.560 and you just act like

00:15:03.240 only one of them exists.

00:15:04.980 Oh, it's just a cost.

00:15:06.300 Don't do it.

00:15:07.460 Or it's just a benefit.

00:15:08.980 You should totally do it.

00:15:10.900 Now, in the real world,

00:15:12.360 things have costs

00:15:13.300 and benefits.

00:15:14.560 And one of the words

00:15:16.220 that signals

00:15:16.920 that you have

00:15:17.660 a half opinion

00:15:18.600 is the word

00:15:20.100 should.

00:15:22.420 Should is usually

00:15:23.560 a signal

00:15:24.160 that you've got

00:15:24.740 a half opinion coming.

00:15:26.840 So listen to this.

00:15:28.000 This is what

00:15:28.560 Warren Buffett said

00:15:29.640 about tariffs.

00:15:32.020 Quote,

00:15:32.740 trade should not be a weapon.

00:15:35.620 Trade should

00:15:36.940 not be a weapon.

00:15:38.560 So is he in favor

00:15:41.900 of using

00:15:42.700 tariffs

00:15:44.720 as a negotiating tool?

00:15:48.240 Does he think

00:15:49.460 that we should

00:15:50.100 simply accept

00:15:51.240 the tariffs

00:15:51.900 that other countries

00:15:52.880 put on us

00:15:53.820 so that we don't

00:15:55.140 start any trade wars?

00:15:57.480 That is what you call

00:15:59.000 a half opinion.

00:16:02.800 He gets to say

00:16:03.580 the part

00:16:04.060 that makes him

00:16:05.880 look good

00:16:06.460 without having

00:16:07.920 to commit to anything.

00:16:10.160 Should.

00:16:11.420 So let me

00:16:12.320 give you another example.

00:16:14.160 I'm going to

00:16:14.660 give you my opinion

00:16:15.720 about war.

00:16:17.100 Are you ready?

00:16:18.500 This will be

00:16:19.060 my official

00:16:19.900 public opinion

00:16:20.800 about war.

00:16:22.500 We should

00:16:23.700 fight wars

00:16:24.960 without killing

00:16:25.780 any civilians.

00:16:28.120 Who's with me?

00:16:30.120 Anybody want to

00:16:31.180 sign on

00:16:31.660 to my half

00:16:32.340 of an opinion?

00:16:34.460 Because in the real world

00:16:35.400 you don't get

00:16:35.900 that option.

00:16:37.380 So you just say

00:16:38.160 well we should.

00:16:41.120 And what about

00:16:42.120 using trade

00:16:43.140 as a weapon?

00:16:44.020 Well

00:16:44.200 we should not.

00:16:48.400 As soon as you

00:16:49.380 see the word

00:16:50.000 should

00:16:50.400 there's some

00:16:51.960 bullshit happening.

00:16:53.680 So that's

00:16:54.640 your persuasion

00:16:56.120 lesson of the day.

00:16:57.060 Always look for

00:16:57.700 should.

00:16:58.740 And when I use

00:16:59.580 the word myself

00:17:00.440 which I do

00:17:01.140 it's just too easy

00:17:03.520 to grab that

00:17:04.880 word when you're

00:17:05.540 talking.

00:17:06.760 I try to

00:17:07.800 correct myself

00:17:08.760 because

00:17:10.320 you know

00:17:11.580 you can

00:17:12.060 easily just

00:17:13.300 fall into

00:17:13.820 this should

00:17:14.720 thing

00:17:15.120 and it

00:17:16.320 always means

00:17:17.140 you're not

00:17:17.500 looking at the

00:17:18.040 whole picture.

00:17:19.320 It's almost

00:17:19.820 a confession.

00:17:22.960 All right.

00:17:24.740 The post

00:17:25.560 millennial

00:17:26.140 has a story

00:17:27.120 about

00:17:27.560 RFK Jr.'s

00:17:30.280 Department of

00:17:30.860 Health and

00:17:31.180 Human Services.

00:17:32.340 They've decided

00:17:33.160 that

00:17:33.820 the recommended

00:17:35.380 treatment for

00:17:36.460 people with

00:17:38.000 gender dysphoria

00:17:39.160 is the

00:17:40.920 therapy

00:17:41.320 as opposed

00:17:42.620 to

00:17:43.120 gender

00:17:43.980 affirming

00:17:44.600 surgery

00:17:45.240 for example.

00:17:46.960 And

00:17:47.380 points out

00:17:48.240 that the

00:17:48.940 more invasive

00:17:50.020 stuff is not

00:17:51.140 proven to be

00:17:51.920 effective

00:17:52.340 sort of in

00:17:53.600 general.

00:17:53.920 And

00:17:55.560 so this is

00:17:57.520 basically a

00:17:58.200 review.

00:17:58.720 It's not a

00:17:59.100 law.

00:18:00.040 So the

00:18:00.400 review

00:18:00.860 that

00:18:01.860 HHS did

00:18:03.320 stated that

00:18:04.500 the effectiveness

00:18:05.300 of psychotherapy

00:18:06.500 for other

00:18:07.360 mental health

00:18:08.060 issues

00:18:08.580 including

00:18:10.500 those present

00:18:11.420 alongside

00:18:12.000 gender

00:18:12.560 dysphoria

00:18:13.220 quote

00:18:14.300 suggests

00:18:15.020 it may

00:18:15.540 also be

00:18:16.080 beneficial

00:18:16.560 for gender

00:18:17.520 dysphoria

00:18:18.240 specifically.

00:18:20.200 Is it

00:18:21.240 true that

00:18:21.860 psychotherapy

00:18:22.760 is effective

00:18:24.420 for other

00:18:25.020 disorders?

00:18:27.180 That's

00:18:27.740 actually a

00:18:28.320 real question.

00:18:29.460 I don't

00:18:29.780 know the

00:18:30.080 answer to

00:18:30.440 that.

00:18:31.380 Because I've

00:18:32.300 heard a lot

00:18:32.880 of people

00:18:33.220 say that

00:18:33.740 it's just

00:18:34.160 fake.

00:18:35.560 That

00:18:35.800 therapy

00:18:36.960 doesn't

00:18:37.380 work for

00:18:37.820 anybody

00:18:38.100 really.

00:18:39.480 But I

00:18:40.360 suspect it

00:18:40.960 doesn't work

00:18:41.480 for some

00:18:41.940 people.

00:18:43.540 What do

00:18:44.060 you think?

00:18:44.940 Do you

00:18:45.200 think that

00:18:45.860 psychotherapy

00:18:47.000 is a real

00:18:47.580 thing that

00:18:48.100 fixes people?

00:18:48.980 probably it

00:18:52.060 depends a

00:18:52.540 lot on

00:18:52.900 who the

00:18:53.260 psychotherapist

00:18:54.180 is.

00:18:55.580 I've got a

00:18:56.360 feeling that

00:18:56.880 the top

00:18:57.480 10% best

00:18:58.680 therapists

00:18:59.360 can fix

00:19:00.880 a lot of

00:19:01.320 people.

00:19:02.540 I'm not

00:19:03.420 sure if

00:19:04.180 the bottom

00:19:04.740 90% can

00:19:05.880 get anything

00:19:06.460 done except

00:19:07.660 taking your

00:19:08.320 money.

00:19:09.500 And maybe

00:19:10.420 it's not

00:19:10.820 90-10,

00:19:12.140 but I'll

00:19:12.860 bet it's

00:19:13.180 not 100%.

00:19:14.440 Do you

00:19:15.580 think 100%

00:19:16.520 of therapists

00:19:17.280 are good

00:19:17.720 enough to

00:19:18.160 fix people's

00:19:19.000 mental problems?

00:19:21.360 Not 100%.

00:19:22.880 And do you

00:19:24.500 think it's

00:19:24.860 50%?

00:19:26.500 Because 50% 0.77

00:19:27.840 would be

00:19:28.580 worth trying.

00:19:32.320 I've got a

00:19:33.100 feeling it's

00:19:33.540 closer to

00:19:34.140 10% that

00:19:36.020 can really

00:19:36.520 make a

00:19:36.920 difference.

00:19:37.520 The rest

00:19:38.040 just give the

00:19:38.800 benefit of

00:19:39.440 being a good

00:19:40.180 listener, I

00:19:40.760 suppose, which

00:19:41.400 is valuable

00:19:41.980 too.

00:19:43.200 Just a

00:19:43.900 guess.

00:19:44.440 So don't

00:19:45.480 take any

00:19:45.980 of my,

00:19:47.260 this is not

00:19:48.080 a medical

00:19:48.540 or therapy

00:19:50.420 advice,

00:19:53.480 because I

00:19:54.100 don't know

00:19:54.440 enough about

00:19:54.920 the field.

00:19:55.720 So I've

00:19:55.960 never, I

00:19:57.000 haven't had

00:19:57.700 any mental

00:19:58.160 problems I've

00:19:58.880 needed to

00:20:00.080 get therapy

00:20:00.720 for,

00:20:02.060 which I

00:20:04.380 always think

00:20:04.820 is weird.

00:20:06.460 How many

00:20:07.200 of you

00:20:07.560 would say

00:20:08.540 of yourselves

00:20:09.440 that you've

00:20:11.400 not really

00:20:11.860 had any

00:20:12.260 mental problems

00:20:13.100 that required

00:20:13.660 any help?

00:20:14.440 How many

00:20:16.800 of you

00:20:17.040 would say

00:20:17.360 that?

00:20:18.460 Because I

00:20:19.080 feel like

00:20:19.540 I'm unusual.

00:20:20.840 Like I

00:20:21.440 don't have

00:20:21.820 anxiety, I

00:20:22.780 don't have

00:20:23.080 depression,

00:20:25.260 I don't

00:20:26.520 have self

00:20:27.100 doubt,

00:20:28.400 I don't

00:20:29.520 have, I

00:20:30.740 don't have

00:20:31.040 any of

00:20:31.340 that.

00:20:32.360 And I'm

00:20:32.720 not sure

00:20:33.080 why.

00:20:34.060 You know,

00:20:34.400 I don't

00:20:34.920 think I

00:20:35.280 was like

00:20:35.700 born with

00:20:36.460 better genes

00:20:38.080 or anything

00:20:38.520 like that.

00:20:39.080 I have

00:20:39.440 no idea

00:20:39.880 why.

00:20:40.180 I just

00:20:40.820 don't have

00:20:41.540 them.

00:20:43.520 Yeah, so

00:20:44.140 a number of

00:20:44.600 you are in

00:20:45.540 good shape

00:20:45.960 too.

00:20:46.360 Oh, good.

00:21:01.080 you're richer

00:21:01.540 than you think.

00:21:02.140 According to

00:21:04.340 the New York

00:21:04.740 Post, there's

00:21:05.960 a former

00:21:06.460 State Department

00:21:07.440 analyst who

00:21:09.020 wrote checks

00:21:09.780 to herself

00:21:10.500 during her

00:21:11.220 job for

00:21:11.740 $650,000

00:21:13.280 over two

00:21:15.160 years.

00:21:16.200 Now, the

00:21:17.020 fun part of

00:21:17.640 this is the

00:21:19.200 trick she 1.00

00:21:20.040 used for

00:21:20.900 embezzling.

00:21:22.780 So,

00:21:23.160 apparently,

00:21:23.960 she was

00:21:24.340 using,

00:21:25.120 what do

00:21:26.600 you call

00:21:26.920 it,

00:21:27.780 QuickBooks.

00:21:29.480 So, she

00:21:30.160 had access

00:21:30.700 to QuickBooks

00:21:31.780 and then

00:21:32.860 she would

00:21:33.140 go in

00:21:33.480 QuickBooks

00:21:34.100 and I

00:21:34.580 guess nobody

00:21:35.080 was checking

00:21:35.640 her work 0.89

00:21:36.220 and she

00:21:37.460 would write

00:21:38.460 a check

00:21:38.980 to herself

00:21:40.400 and then

00:21:41.900 print it.

00:21:43.380 But, here's

00:21:44.440 what she

00:21:44.860 cleverly did.

00:21:46.180 Then she

00:21:46.680 would go

00:21:47.060 back into

00:21:47.840 QuickBooks

00:21:48.600 after she

00:21:49.660 had printed

00:21:50.100 the check

00:21:50.760 and change

00:21:51.940 the name

00:21:52.620 that was

00:21:53.220 in QuickBooks

00:21:54.120 from her

00:21:55.220 own name,

00:21:55.940 which is what

00:21:56.560 she had just

00:21:57.040 printed out,

00:21:58.180 to some

00:21:58.780 name that

00:21:59.240 sounded like

00:21:59.840 a vendor.

00:22:00.220 And she

00:22:02.180 got away

00:22:02.620 with that

00:22:02.980 for two

00:22:03.440 years and

00:22:05.320 got $650,000

00:22:07.260 out of the

00:22:08.020 government.

00:22:09.460 Now, the

00:22:10.120 question I

00:22:10.680 ask you is,

00:22:11.940 how much

00:22:12.880 of that is

00:22:13.480 happening?

00:22:15.300 You know,

00:22:16.200 I go back

00:22:17.780 to my

00:22:18.140 observation that

00:22:19.140 if you just

00:22:19.840 drive around

00:22:20.620 in a nice

00:22:21.200 neighborhood,

00:22:22.100 you can't

00:22:23.340 really understand

00:22:24.180 how so many

00:22:24.940 people got

00:22:25.520 so much

00:22:26.000 money.

00:22:26.340 or back

00:22:29.640 in the

00:22:30.100 times when

00:22:30.740 I would

00:22:31.000 go on

00:22:31.280 vacations

00:22:31.900 in nice

00:22:32.460 places,

00:22:33.780 and I

00:22:34.060 would think

00:22:34.360 to myself,

00:22:35.000 you know,

00:22:35.220 I'm the

00:22:35.460 Dilber guy,

00:22:36.720 I got super

00:22:37.480 lucky,

00:22:38.620 you know,

00:22:38.800 made more

00:22:39.300 money than

00:22:39.720 most people,

00:22:40.540 so I get

00:22:41.320 to go to

00:22:41.760 this resort,

00:22:42.980 you know,

00:22:43.180 some five-star

00:22:43.940 resort somewhere.

00:22:45.220 But then it

00:22:45.940 would be full,

00:22:47.180 and I would

00:22:48.160 think to

00:22:48.480 myself,

00:22:49.020 how can

00:22:49.440 there be

00:22:49.700 so many

00:22:50.220 people who

00:22:51.760 are so

00:22:52.220 lucky?

00:22:53.200 Do they

00:22:53.620 inherit it?

00:22:54.580 Are they

00:22:54.940 criminals?

00:22:56.400 And I

00:22:57.080 don't know

00:22:57.300 what the

00:22:57.520 percentage is,

00:22:58.340 but I

00:22:59.800 just think

00:23:00.380 that there's

00:23:00.940 some shocking

00:23:02.520 number of

00:23:03.140 people who

00:23:03.640 are rich who

00:23:04.900 literally stole

00:23:06.040 it from the

00:23:06.600 government,

00:23:06.980 because the

00:23:08.960 government has

00:23:09.560 so much

00:23:10.020 money that

00:23:11.560 you can steal

00:23:12.360 a lot for

00:23:12.980 yourself,

00:23:14.200 and nobody

00:23:15.740 notices.

00:23:17.360 So, I mean,

00:23:18.140 it's just

00:23:18.500 speculation,

00:23:19.680 but I got a

00:23:20.440 feeling that

00:23:21.060 not everybody's

00:23:23.100 earning their

00:23:23.600 money the hard

00:23:24.180 way like I

00:23:24.800 did.

00:23:25.560 Well, there's

00:23:28.180 a big trial

00:23:28.800 going on with

00:23:29.740 Meta's AI.

00:23:31.320 There's some

00:23:31.840 authors and

00:23:33.420 mostly authors

00:23:35.480 who are

00:23:36.720 trying to

00:23:38.520 say that

00:23:39.580 the AI,

00:23:41.180 in this case

00:23:41.700 Meta,

00:23:43.120 use their

00:23:43.980 copyrighted

00:23:44.740 work,

00:23:45.740 and they

00:23:46.080 believe that

00:23:46.580 their copyright

00:23:47.340 should protect

00:23:48.800 them from

00:23:49.400 having the AI

00:23:50.260 suck it up and 0.96

00:23:51.200 be able to do

00:23:51.740 stuff with it.

00:23:52.300 Now, the good

00:23:53.040 news is I

00:23:53.720 was just

00:23:54.000 reading a

00:23:54.440 little bit

00:23:54.800 about the

00:23:55.560 questions that

00:23:56.360 were being

00:23:56.680 asked by the

00:23:57.400 judge, and

00:23:59.180 it's hard to

00:24:00.480 know for sure

00:24:01.340 from a

00:24:02.900 distance, but

00:24:04.260 the judge seems

00:24:05.280 to be really,

00:24:06.340 really sharp,

00:24:08.180 because I

00:24:09.140 looked at the

00:24:09.640 questions and

00:24:10.540 how we frame

00:24:11.720 stuff, and I

00:24:12.680 thought, wow,

00:24:13.420 you really kind

00:24:15.020 of get this

00:24:15.640 topic.

00:24:15.980 So Ars

00:24:17.600 Technica is

00:24:18.380 writing about

00:24:18.940 this, but

00:24:20.140 the judge, he

00:24:21.900 downplayed

00:24:22.600 Meta's what

00:24:23.640 he called

00:24:24.020 messed-up

00:24:24.740 torrenting,

00:24:26.560 and whatever

00:24:29.380 he rules, this

00:24:30.780 could be an

00:24:31.920 important ruling

00:24:32.880 in the world

00:24:33.940 of AI, because

00:24:35.320 if the judge

00:24:35.960 decides that

00:24:36.840 AI can't do

00:24:37.900 this sort of

00:24:38.460 thing, because

00:24:39.140 it's a copyright

00:24:40.120 violation, then

00:24:41.640 the United States

00:24:42.560 will fall

00:24:43.140 behind in

00:24:44.380 AI, because

00:24:45.860 we won't be

00:24:46.420 able to train

00:24:46.960 it the way

00:24:47.540 China would, 0.98

00:24:49.040 which is

00:24:49.360 stealing anything

00:24:50.620 it can steal

00:24:51.340 and don't care

00:24:52.200 about copyrights.

00:24:55.140 So it's a

00:24:55.920 really big deal.

00:24:56.760 On the other

00:24:57.200 hand, it's

00:24:58.360 really bad for

00:24:59.160 authors.

00:25:01.320 So the

00:25:02.960 judge is

00:25:03.620 going to end

00:25:04.000 up making a

00:25:04.640 decision, even

00:25:06.620 though it's

00:25:07.820 really just a

00:25:08.420 legal decision,

00:25:09.420 it's going to

00:25:10.120 be a decision

00:25:10.740 about which

00:25:11.340 industry dies.

00:25:13.660 So if the

00:25:14.420 judge says you

00:25:15.320 can't,

00:25:15.860 train your,

00:25:17.080 you can't

00:25:17.980 train your

00:25:18.500 model on

00:25:19.500 copyrighted

00:25:21.060 material, well

00:25:22.520 then AI as

00:25:23.620 an industry

00:25:24.240 will just

00:25:24.760 die, or

00:25:26.440 it'll get a

00:25:26.980 student of

00:25:27.700 existence.

00:25:29.420 But if he

00:25:30.900 says, well,

00:25:31.840 you know, it's

00:25:32.360 too important,

00:25:33.420 or it looks

00:25:35.980 like it's

00:25:36.380 fair use,

00:25:37.780 then I would

00:25:38.720 argue that

00:25:39.320 the book

00:25:40.780 authoring

00:25:41.460 business would

00:25:42.180 be completely

00:25:42.920 dead in

00:25:43.820 just a few

00:25:44.360 years.

00:25:46.100 So you're

00:25:47.080 sort of, you're

00:25:47.920 going to have

00:25:48.160 to decide which

00:25:48.980 one is going

00:25:49.520 to die, the 0.88

00:25:51.460 literary world

00:25:52.880 or the AI

00:25:53.920 world.

00:25:55.400 Unfortunately,

00:25:56.480 as someone who

00:25:58.160 has written

00:25:58.680 books, I think

00:26:00.120 it's going to be

00:26:00.660 the author world

00:26:01.700 that dies,

00:26:02.640 because that

00:26:03.680 seems like the

00:26:04.500 older technology,

00:26:07.200 the one that

00:26:07.660 doesn't really,

00:26:08.760 it's not really

00:26:09.540 supporting the

00:26:10.340 country directly,

00:26:11.220 it's just

00:26:11.800 something people

00:26:12.580 like, whereas

00:26:14.040 AI is more

00:26:15.020 existential,

00:26:16.820 you know,

00:26:17.100 necessary for

00:26:19.020 defense, for

00:26:20.440 economics, for

00:26:21.560 everything.

00:26:23.620 So I did a

00:26:24.820 little test where

00:26:25.560 I went to

00:26:25.980 Grok, and I

00:26:27.480 told it to

00:26:28.220 summarize the

00:26:29.400 book,

00:26:31.940 Atomic

00:26:36.540 Habits,

00:26:37.740 is that the

00:26:38.200 name?

00:26:38.360 And it

00:26:40.140 didn't, it

00:26:40.940 didn't pause

00:26:42.080 for a second,

00:26:43.320 and it gave

00:26:44.100 me a good

00:26:45.560 little summary

00:26:46.280 where I would

00:26:47.660 say to myself,

00:26:48.480 huh, I don't

00:26:49.720 know if I need

00:26:50.320 to read this

00:26:50.840 book now.

00:26:52.340 And I thought

00:26:53.160 to myself, is

00:26:54.140 that only true

00:26:55.040 for nonfiction

00:26:56.720 books?

00:26:58.300 Can I just

00:26:58.940 go to, and

00:27:01.440 I've tried to

00:27:02.160 do it with my

00:27:02.700 own books, but

00:27:04.600 when I do it

00:27:05.620 with my own

00:27:06.100 books, it

00:27:06.580 tells me that

00:27:07.500 it can only

00:27:09.660 tell me what

00:27:10.740 other people

00:27:11.420 have said

00:27:11.920 about it.

00:27:13.520 So if there

00:27:14.080 are other

00:27:14.420 people who

00:27:14.840 have written

00:27:15.220 long reviews,

00:27:16.880 or if

00:27:17.860 somebody went

00:27:18.500 to, I

00:27:19.160 don't know,

00:27:19.520 went on X

00:27:20.360 and did a

00:27:21.660 big thread

00:27:22.260 where they

00:27:22.640 said, here's

00:27:23.140 the best ideas

00:27:24.100 from his

00:27:24.860 book, I

00:27:25.900 guess it

00:27:26.280 could trade

00:27:26.680 on that.

00:27:27.240 book, and

00:27:28.840 so I

00:27:31.180 don't know

00:27:31.580 if I

00:27:31.880 would write

00:27:32.240 another

00:27:32.580 book, because

00:27:35.620 we're at

00:27:36.080 that point

00:27:36.740 where you

00:27:38.120 don't really

00:27:38.720 need to buy

00:27:39.280 a book if

00:27:40.340 you have

00:27:40.620 AI.

00:27:41.240 You can

00:27:41.400 just tell it

00:27:43.040 to summarize

00:27:43.580 all the top

00:27:44.460 10 business

00:27:45.340 books.

00:27:46.900 And by the

00:27:47.920 time you've

00:27:48.400 reached your

00:27:48.860 destination on

00:27:49.840 your airline

00:27:51.160 trip, you'll

00:27:53.500 basically know

00:27:54.460 what's in 10

00:27:55.420 different important

00:27:56.280 books.

00:27:58.040 I don't know.

00:27:59.140 And then what

00:27:59.720 about the ones

00:28:00.280 that are just

00:28:00.660 pure fiction?

00:28:03.800 Do you think

00:28:04.540 that AI will

00:28:06.920 just be able

00:28:07.480 to look at

00:28:08.620 a bunch of

00:28:09.120 fiction that

00:28:09.800 other people

00:28:10.300 have written

00:28:10.760 and just say,

00:28:12.420 all right, I

00:28:13.140 can see how

00:28:13.640 this works, I

00:28:14.540 see the

00:28:14.860 patterns?

00:28:18.480 You made a

00:28:19.240 prediction?

00:28:20.080 If I write

00:28:20.720 another one,

00:28:21.260 it'll be my

00:28:21.740 best?

00:28:22.380 Well, even

00:28:22.900 if it is my

00:28:23.580 best, it

00:28:24.240 wouldn't be

00:28:24.640 economic.

00:28:25.420 At this

00:28:27.700 point, I

00:28:28.700 don't know.

00:28:29.540 So this is a

00:28:30.360 big case.

00:28:31.000 We'll see

00:28:31.280 how that

00:28:31.580 goes.

00:28:34.680 According to

00:28:35.400 Just the

00:28:36.100 News, there's

00:28:36.940 a rumor that

00:28:37.960 the first

00:28:39.740 big trade

00:28:40.460 deal might

00:28:41.000 be with

00:28:41.380 India.

00:28:42.180 Now, we

00:28:42.560 don't have

00:28:42.960 confirmation

00:28:43.440 of that.

00:28:44.760 But Commerce

00:28:45.600 Secretary

00:28:46.180 Ludnick, he

00:28:47.440 hinted at

00:28:48.280 the fact that

00:28:49.620 there's going

00:28:50.040 to be an

00:28:50.400 announcement

00:28:50.780 coming.

00:28:52.340 And it

00:28:52.880 wasn't long

00:28:53.420 ago that

00:28:54.060 J.D.

00:28:54.640 Vance was

00:28:55.200 over in

00:28:55.580 India

00:28:55.920 meeting

00:28:56.820 with

00:28:57.300 Modi.

00:28:59.980 And so

00:29:00.520 if you

00:29:00.820 just sort

00:29:01.240 of read

00:29:02.320 the tea

00:29:02.680 leaves and

00:29:03.440 you figure

00:29:04.180 India might

00:29:04.940 want to be

00:29:06.600 first, maybe

00:29:08.780 it'll be

00:29:09.200 India.

00:29:10.160 But here's

00:29:10.760 the political

00:29:11.340 element.

00:29:12.980 So the

00:29:13.580 Democrats

00:29:14.180 have gone

00:29:14.640 all in

00:29:15.380 on the

00:29:17.480 tariffs being

00:29:18.920 the worst

00:29:19.380 idea and

00:29:21.120 nothing but

00:29:21.940 chaos can

00:29:23.160 come from

00:29:23.640 it.

00:29:24.800 Now, would

00:29:25.340 you agree

00:29:25.840 that they're

00:29:26.340 all in on

00:29:27.040 that?

00:29:27.780 They're just

00:29:28.280 they bet

00:29:29.740 their entire

00:29:30.460 farm on

00:29:33.180 tariffs or

00:29:33.860 destroying the

00:29:34.640 economy so

00:29:35.840 that by the

00:29:36.460 midterms they

00:29:37.140 can say,

00:29:37.640 see, look

00:29:38.820 what he did.

00:29:39.500 He destroyed

00:29:40.180 the economy.

00:29:41.360 Now, they're

00:29:41.860 not getting

00:29:42.320 what they want

00:29:43.020 in terms of

00:29:43.640 the stock

00:29:44.220 market, which

00:29:45.080 is largely

00:29:45.700 recovered, or

00:29:47.160 the price of

00:29:47.800 eggs, which

00:29:48.500 have gone

00:29:48.860 down, or the

00:29:50.260 price of fuel,

00:29:51.100 which I

00:29:52.320 think has

00:29:52.660 drifted down

00:29:53.300 a little

00:29:53.600 bit.

00:29:55.080 So they're

00:29:56.100 really going to

00:29:57.960 have to bank

00:29:58.600 on the tariffs

00:29:59.360 being a

00:29:59.900 disaster.

00:30:01.580 So what

00:30:02.120 happens when

00:30:03.980 the tariff

00:30:04.680 deals start

00:30:06.260 coming through?

00:30:07.700 Because you

00:30:08.320 know they

00:30:08.660 will.

00:30:09.620 There's not

00:30:10.100 really much

00:30:10.660 chance that

00:30:11.340 we won't

00:30:12.240 make any

00:30:12.800 tariff

00:30:13.160 deals, and

00:30:14.580 we'll obviously

00:30:15.300 do the

00:30:15.940 important ones

00:30:16.960 that we think

00:30:17.460 we can get

00:30:18.040 done and

00:30:18.640 make a

00:30:19.180 difference first.

00:30:20.020 So isn't

00:30:22.040 it going to

00:30:22.440 look like

00:30:22.820 one loss

00:30:23.560 after another

00:30:24.280 to the

00:30:24.700 Democrats?

00:30:25.880 Oh, he's

00:30:26.720 so chaos.

00:30:27.700 Oh, everything's

00:30:28.500 OK, well, we'll

00:30:30.640 give you that the

00:30:31.440 India trade deal

00:30:32.240 was better for

00:30:32.820 the United

00:30:33.160 States.

00:30:34.080 But all the

00:30:34.900 rest, oh, the

00:30:35.980 chaos and the

00:30:37.560 uncertainty, OK,

00:30:39.320 OK, maybe Japan

00:30:40.640 can make a deal.

00:30:42.080 But they're, you

00:30:42.540 know, they're a

00:30:42.880 good ally.

00:30:43.580 You can't count

00:30:44.180 them.

00:30:45.000 Oh, but the

00:30:45.800 chaos, all

00:30:47.140 right, South

00:30:47.640 Korea did make 1.00

00:30:48.520 a deal, and it

00:30:49.260 looks like it's a

00:30:49.940 little bit better

00:30:50.400 for us.

00:30:50.860 But really, it's

00:30:52.560 still just

00:30:53.360 nothing but

00:30:53.900 OK, and OK,

00:30:55.460 Europe made a

00:30:56.120 deal.

00:30:59.220 Correct me if

00:31:00.080 I'm wrong, but

00:31:02.460 I think the

00:31:03.180 Democrats are

00:31:04.820 going to have

00:31:05.160 something like a

00:31:06.740 full year of

00:31:09.100 having to just

00:31:10.000 suck every word

00:31:11.400 they've said for

00:31:12.180 the last six

00:31:13.040 months.

00:31:14.800 It's going to

00:31:16.080 look like they're

00:31:17.460 so wrong that

00:31:20.080 it would be

00:31:20.480 wrongness on a

00:31:21.420 scale that we've

00:31:22.120 never seen

00:31:22.600 before, because

00:31:23.600 it's just going

00:31:24.160 to be one thing

00:31:25.060 after another.

00:31:26.520 I think there

00:31:27.140 are, what,

00:31:27.480 160 countries,

00:31:30.160 and every, you

00:31:32.280 know, when we

00:31:32.760 reach a certain

00:31:33.460 point, you know,

00:31:34.820 maybe in a few

00:31:35.440 months, it's

00:31:36.800 going to be

00:31:37.240 every day.

00:31:38.920 Every day there's

00:31:39.960 going to be another

00:31:40.640 announcement of

00:31:42.140 how we improved

00:31:43.620 our trade situation

00:31:45.180 with a particular

00:31:46.200 country.

00:31:47.480 I think Democrats

00:31:48.440 just created this

00:31:49.880 own trap for

00:31:50.580 themselves, because

00:31:52.120 they put so much

00:31:53.200 attention into the,

00:31:54.800 oh, the tariffs

00:31:55.580 are bad, the tariffs

00:31:56.560 are bad, he doesn't

00:31:57.520 know what a

00:31:57.900 tariff is, that

00:31:59.600 they're just going

00:32:00.160 to have to eat it.

00:32:03.240 We'll see.

00:32:08.040 I'm Chris Hadfield.

00:32:09.580 I'm an astronaut,

00:32:10.760 an author, a

00:32:11.920 citizen of planet

00:32:13.020 Earth.

00:32:13.320 Join me for a

00:32:14.460 six-part journey

00:32:15.500 into the systems

00:32:16.720 that power the

00:32:17.940 world.

00:32:18.560 Real conversations

00:32:19.480 with real people

00:32:20.760 who are shaping

00:32:21.720 the future of

00:32:22.960 energy.

00:32:23.700 No politics,

00:32:24.880 no empty talk,

00:32:26.140 just solutions-focused

00:32:27.940 conversations on the

00:32:29.440 challenges we must

00:32:30.560 overcome and the

00:32:31.700 possibilities that

00:32:32.760 lie ahead.

00:32:33.620 This is On Energy.

00:32:36.140 Listen wherever you

00:32:36.960 get your podcasts.

00:32:37.860 apparently Bernie

00:32:40.840 Sanders is not

00:32:43.140 too unified with

00:32:44.500 Chuck Schumer.

00:32:47.920 And he was

00:32:48.840 arguing that

00:32:49.780 that the reason

00:32:53.080 that Trump won,

00:32:54.100 this is Bernie

00:32:54.760 Sanders, he thinks

00:32:55.700 the reason that

00:32:56.520 Trump won is

00:32:57.900 because he said he

00:32:58.840 would smash the

00:32:59.840 system.

00:33:00.960 How many of you

00:33:01.960 voted for Trump

00:33:03.120 because he was

00:33:05.540 going to smash

00:33:06.440 the system?

00:33:08.360 Does Bernie have

00:33:09.540 the right vibe

00:33:12.520 there?

00:33:13.660 I feel like he

00:33:14.860 might for the

00:33:16.160 first time because

00:33:18.220 that's why I

00:33:19.360 supported Trump.

00:33:20.800 I wanted him to

00:33:22.020 break everything

00:33:22.800 because everything

00:33:24.280 was corrupt.

00:33:27.720 And when

00:33:28.120 everything is

00:33:28.920 corrupt and

00:33:29.980 somebody comes in

00:33:30.860 and says,

00:33:31.300 I'm just going to

00:33:31.900 stomp on everything,

00:33:33.180 I think to myself,

00:33:34.540 that's the first

00:33:35.300 step, bring

00:33:37.140 him in and

00:33:37.540 have him stomp

00:33:38.260 on everything,

00:33:39.000 just break

00:33:39.500 everything.

00:33:40.680 And then, you

00:33:41.320 know, maybe we

00:33:41.920 can recover, but

00:33:43.160 we definitely

00:33:43.660 can't just keep

00:33:44.420 going the way

00:33:44.960 we're going.

00:33:46.440 So I think

00:33:48.240 Bernie might be

00:33:48.860 a little bit

00:33:49.260 right about

00:33:49.740 that.

00:33:52.380 But Sanders

00:33:53.500 was pushing

00:33:54.260 back on a

00:33:55.560 Caitlin Collins

00:33:56.300 suggestion about

00:33:58.160 the cohesiveness

00:33:59.180 of the Democrats,

00:34:01.640 and Sanders

00:34:02.600 said that

00:34:04.160 they're not

00:34:04.580 cohesive.

00:34:05.200 He said,

00:34:05.640 quote,

00:34:05.960 you need

00:34:06.380 an agenda.

00:34:08.840 Yeah,

00:34:09.440 questioning what

00:34:10.300 the party was

00:34:10.960 united around.

00:34:12.080 What exactly

00:34:12.940 would we be

00:34:13.700 united around?

00:34:15.520 You would need

00:34:16.020 some kind of

00:34:16.500 an agenda.

00:34:17.660 And I would

00:34:18.420 add to that

00:34:18.960 that once the

00:34:19.860 Democrats had

00:34:21.120 gone all in

00:34:22.380 on opposing

00:34:24.080 common sense,

00:34:25.900 in other words,

00:34:26.480 always taking

00:34:27.000 the 20 side

00:34:27.920 of the 80-20

00:34:28.780 situation,

00:34:30.720 once you've

00:34:31.520 committed to

00:34:32.280 being against

00:34:33.080 common sense,

00:34:34.480 I don't know

00:34:36.020 that there's

00:34:36.420 a path back.

00:34:37.920 Because you

00:34:38.620 would either

00:34:38.920 have to

00:34:39.360 embrace the

00:34:40.580 entire

00:34:41.000 Republican

00:34:41.620 concept of

00:34:44.120 common sense,

00:34:45.380 or you

00:34:47.620 have to stay

00:34:48.360 against common

00:34:49.260 sense.

00:34:51.160 There's only

00:34:51.880 two paths.

00:34:53.260 How in the

00:34:53.940 world do they

00:34:54.440 come back from

00:34:55.080 that?

00:34:56.040 Well, I guess

00:34:56.480 they have the

00:34:56.880 media to keep

00:34:58.600 them in business.

00:34:59.280 Well, let's

00:35:01.800 look at the

00:35:02.440 designated

00:35:03.200 liars in the

00:35:04.880 Democrat side.

00:35:06.400 The designated

00:35:07.600 liars are

00:35:08.660 Adam Schiff,

00:35:10.060 Jamie Raskin,

00:35:11.200 Swalwell,

00:35:12.960 and Elizabeth

00:35:13.440 Warren,

00:35:14.520 and some more.

00:35:16.140 Now, what's

00:35:16.700 different about

00:35:17.300 the designated

00:35:18.120 liars, this is

00:35:19.360 my own name

00:35:19.880 for them,

00:35:20.520 the DDLs,

00:35:21.660 Democrat

00:35:22.060 designated

00:35:22.580 liars, is

00:35:23.700 that they

00:35:24.000 will lie in 0.67

00:35:25.440 public about

00:35:27.020 something that's

00:35:27.840 already been

00:35:28.540 debunked, or

00:35:30.040 is easy to

00:35:30.700 check, is

00:35:31.460 not true.

00:35:34.180 Goldman, yeah,

00:35:34.980 Goldman, I

00:35:35.580 guess you

00:35:35.900 could add to

00:35:36.360 the list.

00:35:38.560 But not all

00:35:39.540 of the

00:35:39.860 Democrats will 0.92

00:35:40.520 do that.

00:35:41.860 There's a

00:35:42.420 whole bunch

00:35:42.860 of just sort

00:35:43.400 of normal

00:35:44.000 Democrats who

00:35:45.320 might, you

00:35:46.020 know, they

00:35:46.300 might spin

00:35:47.000 things, they

00:35:47.860 might leave

00:35:48.340 something out,

00:35:49.340 they might

00:35:49.760 say their

00:35:50.860 ideas better

00:35:51.640 than it is,

00:35:52.580 they might

00:35:52.960 exaggerate a

00:35:53.800 little bit,

00:35:54.560 but they

00:35:55.040 don't tell

00:35:55.480 the just

00:35:56.440 big whopper

00:35:57.400 lies.

00:35:58.540 So here's

00:36:00.040 what Elizabeth

00:36:01.220 Warren did

00:36:02.100 recently, and

00:36:03.060 I saw this

00:36:03.620 in a post

00:36:04.880 by Mays,

00:36:06.020 Mays Moore

00:36:06.920 on X.

00:36:09.400 So as

00:36:09.860 Mays is 0.81

00:36:10.360 pointing out,

00:36:13.040 so in

00:36:13.980 early March

00:36:15.060 there was a

00:36:15.560 story about

00:36:15.960 a French

00:36:16.380 scientist,

00:36:17.400 and this

00:36:17.940 is a fake

00:36:18.640 story, but

00:36:19.200 the story

00:36:19.640 was that

00:36:20.720 the French

00:36:21.440 scientist was

00:36:22.420 denied entry

00:36:23.300 into the

00:36:23.980 U.S.

00:36:24.480 because he

00:36:26.460 had some

00:36:26.900 anti-Trump

00:36:27.660 text messages

00:36:28.660 on his

00:36:29.120 phone.

00:36:31.980 Now,

00:36:32.660 apparently, I

00:36:33.660 just missed

00:36:34.460 that story

00:36:35.040 because it

00:36:35.460 seemed too

00:36:35.860 small, I

00:36:36.420 guess, but

00:36:37.680 so Elizabeth

00:36:40.320 Warren is

00:36:41.360 going to

00:36:41.720 pretend like

00:36:42.900 that's true

00:36:43.720 after it's

00:36:45.040 been debunked.

00:36:45.960 I guess the

00:36:46.420 real story

00:36:47.100 is that the

00:36:49.900 scientist did

00:36:50.660 something with

00:36:51.320 some

00:36:51.720 confidential

00:36:52.760 materials.

00:36:54.200 So it had

00:36:55.040 nothing to

00:36:55.540 do with

00:36:55.980 text messages

00:36:56.800 about Trump.

00:36:57.640 It was

00:36:57.840 something about

00:36:58.480 designated,

00:37:00.320 I don't know,

00:37:01.260 confidential

00:37:01.740 materials.

00:37:03.260 But so

00:37:04.300 Elizabeth Warren

00:37:05.120 is at the

00:37:06.280 Senate Finance

00:37:07.040 Committee,

00:37:08.000 and she

00:37:09.060 wants to

00:37:09.500 bring this

00:37:09.980 up after

00:37:11.760 it's been

00:37:12.240 completely

00:37:12.860 debunked.

00:37:15.020 So

00:37:15.620 unambiguously

00:37:16.780 didn't happen.

00:37:17.840 But as

00:37:20.200 Mays points

00:37:20.920 out, listen

00:37:22.960 to how

00:37:23.320 carefully she

00:37:24.380 words her

00:37:24.820 statement,

00:37:26.120 because she

00:37:26.840 knows it's

00:37:27.280 been disproven

00:37:28.060 for weeks.

00:37:29.120 But the way

00:37:29.780 she talks

00:37:30.320 about it is

00:37:30.840 she says

00:37:31.400 that reportedly,

00:37:34.380 reportedly it

00:37:36.240 happened,

00:37:37.400 because

00:37:38.540 reportedly

00:37:39.380 is accurate.

00:37:42.500 It's

00:37:43.180 accurate that

00:37:43.880 somebody reported

00:37:44.800 it, but by

00:37:46.460 now she knows

00:37:47.160 it's not

00:37:47.560 true.

00:37:49.000 And she

00:37:49.720 can still

00:37:50.300 say,

00:37:51.320 reportedly,

00:37:52.300 if you had

00:37:53.380 a bad message

00:37:54.180 about Trump

00:37:54.740 on your

00:37:55.100 phone, you

00:37:55.540 might be

00:37:56.020 denied entry

00:37:56.800 to the

00:37:57.120 country,

00:37:57.940 reportedly.

00:37:59.660 Now that

00:38:00.460 is something

00:38:00.940 that only

00:38:01.380 the designated

00:38:02.180 liars can

00:38:02.920 say.

00:38:04.100 I mean,

00:38:04.340 it is so

00:38:04.820 shamelessly

00:38:06.240 obviously a

00:38:07.500 lie, but

00:38:09.560 you know,

00:38:09.860 she's using 0.88

00:38:10.440 the weasel

00:38:10.960 word reportedly.

00:38:13.060 Reportedly.

00:38:13.620 So that's

00:38:17.280 my lead

00:38:17.800 into my

00:38:18.260 next story,

00:38:19.300 which is

00:38:19.660 James Carville

00:38:20.560 has the

00:38:22.380 most insane

00:38:23.220 claim here.

00:38:24.140 He was

00:38:24.380 talking to

00:38:25.140 Ryan Lizza

00:38:26.660 on a

00:38:27.220 podcast,

00:38:28.580 and according

00:38:30.340 to Carville,

00:38:31.140 he said,

00:38:31.800 quote,

00:38:32.440 people say to

00:38:33.360 me all the

00:38:33.860 time,

00:38:34.320 James,

00:38:35.080 why don't

00:38:35.740 we just do

00:38:36.420 like the

00:38:36.840 Republicans do,

00:38:37.960 just stand

00:38:38.780 up and

00:38:39.180 lie.

00:38:41.340 All right,

00:38:42.000 so this is

00:38:42.620 Carville claiming

00:38:43.540 that the

00:38:44.680 Republicans lie, 0.75

00:38:47.100 and then he's

00:38:48.100 going to tell

00:38:48.500 you why they

00:38:49.040 can't do

00:38:49.500 that.

00:38:52.140 And he

00:38:53.240 says,

00:38:53.940 because our

00:38:55.160 effing people

00:38:55.980 wouldn't stand

00:38:56.960 for it,

00:38:57.580 Carville says,

00:38:58.600 if I stood

00:38:59.480 up and lied,

00:39:00.980 you would be

00:39:01.480 the first

00:39:02.000 person to

00:39:02.540 say James

00:39:03.240 Carville lost

00:39:04.060 all credibility

00:39:04.900 last night

00:39:05.640 when he said

00:39:06.340 X, Y,

00:39:06.940 and Z.

00:39:07.300 really?

00:39:11.500 Has James

00:39:12.440 Carville never

00:39:13.340 noticed that

00:39:15.540 Democrats lie?

00:39:19.260 I mean,

00:39:20.840 I don't even

00:39:22.520 know what to

00:39:22.820 say about that,

00:39:23.560 because I

00:39:24.020 can't tell if

00:39:26.020 he's actually

00:39:26.780 stupid and 0.92

00:39:27.760 clueless,

00:39:28.360 and he

00:39:28.660 doesn't know,

00:39:29.660 or is that

00:39:31.240 just one of

00:39:31.860 his lies,

00:39:33.480 and he's

00:39:34.180 just, you

00:39:34.940 know,

00:39:35.360 sort of a

00:39:35.840 happy warrior,

00:39:36.960 lies about

00:39:37.280 anything.

00:39:38.680 But Carville

00:39:39.920 is not one

00:39:40.620 of the

00:39:40.920 designated

00:39:41.500 liars.

00:39:43.060 He does

00:39:43.700 try to

00:39:44.460 weasel his

00:39:46.140 way around

00:39:46.800 to something

00:39:47.280 that's closer

00:39:47.880 to spinning

00:39:48.740 or omitting

00:39:50.240 some facts

00:39:51.040 or leaving

00:39:51.600 out some

00:39:52.000 context or

00:39:52.840 something.

00:39:53.720 So he's

00:39:54.120 not, I

00:39:54.840 wouldn't call

00:39:55.260 him one

00:39:55.580 of the

00:39:55.800 designated

00:39:56.240 liars.

00:39:57.420 He doesn't

00:39:58.060 like to get

00:39:58.580 caught in

00:39:59.280 like a

00:39:59.640 really,

00:40:00.160 really direct

00:40:00.780 lie,

00:40:01.620 but he

00:40:02.800 certainly

00:40:03.180 said some

00:40:03.820 things about

00:40:04.500 Republicans

00:40:05.620 getting ready

00:40:06.420 to cut

00:40:07.340 Medicaid and

00:40:08.180 Social Security

00:40:09.080 to which I

00:40:10.380 say, but 1.00

00:40:11.420 the president

00:40:11.880 says he

00:40:12.360 won't do

00:40:12.780 that and

00:40:13.200 there's no

00:40:13.520 support for

00:40:14.080 that, and

00:40:15.080 then he

00:40:15.420 would argue,

00:40:16.300 well, but

00:40:16.960 there are

00:40:19.100 reasons to

00:40:19.720 think they

00:40:20.080 might do it

00:40:20.600 anyway.

00:40:22.680 So that's

00:40:23.240 not the

00:40:24.160 worst lie,

00:40:26.320 it just

00:40:26.920 lacks 1.00

00:40:27.700 context, I

00:40:28.600 guess you'd

00:40:28.980 say.

00:40:31.240 All right,

00:40:31.680 but at the

00:40:32.080 same time,

00:40:33.740 Jen Psaki,

00:40:35.200 Democrat,

00:40:37.400 she was

00:40:38.680 asked about

00:40:41.080 the so-called

00:40:42.000 cover-up of

00:40:42.960 Biden's mental

00:40:43.680 decline, and

00:40:45.420 she was on

00:40:46.260 some podcast,

00:40:47.180 and she

00:40:47.560 argued that

00:40:48.300 she doesn't

00:40:48.720 like the

00:40:49.140 word cover-up

00:40:50.060 because that

00:40:51.100 suggests that

00:40:51.820 they were

00:40:52.140 aware of the

00:40:52.800 fact that

00:40:54.240 Biden was

00:40:55.220 mentally

00:40:55.920 incapable, and

00:40:57.020 they were

00:40:57.280 hiding it

00:40:57.740 from people,

00:40:58.600 and she

00:40:59.280 doesn't believe

00:41:00.220 that she

00:41:01.320 ever saw

00:41:02.060 Biden with

00:41:04.360 any mental

00:41:04.920 decline.

00:41:06.640 Now, is

00:41:08.680 she a

00:41:09.000 Democrat who

00:41:09.940 is lying?

00:41:14.140 You can't

00:41:15.160 really tell

00:41:15.820 because,

00:41:18.460 you know,

00:41:18.820 maybe, you

00:41:20.400 know, maybe

00:41:21.100 by weird

00:41:21.740 coincidence, she

00:41:22.640 just never

00:41:23.100 saw it because

00:41:23.860 he had good

00:41:24.340 days and

00:41:24.740 bad days.

00:41:26.140 So, it's

00:41:27.640 wildly

00:41:29.440 improbable that

00:41:31.340 she was not

00:41:31.940 aware about

00:41:32.760 his mental

00:41:33.220 decline, wildly

00:41:34.280 improbable, but

00:41:35.760 you can't say

00:41:37.100 it's impossible.

00:41:39.340 So, again,

00:41:40.080 she's not one 0.99

00:41:40.680 of the Democrat

00:41:41.760 designated liars.

00:41:43.220 She's more of

00:41:43.800 a spinner,

00:41:46.080 you know, more

00:41:46.480 of a leave

00:41:46.960 out some

00:41:47.360 context, you

00:41:48.940 know, allow you

00:41:49.880 to believe

00:41:50.300 something that

00:41:51.220 you shouldn't

00:41:53.140 believe.

00:41:55.540 But anyway, I

00:41:56.380 guess the

00:41:56.720 Democrats think

00:41:57.400 they don't

00:41:57.740 lie.

00:41:58.740 So, Ilan

00:41:59.420 Omar was 1.00

00:42:01.660 asked about,

00:42:02.560 on some

00:42:03.420 interview, about

00:42:04.700 the rise of

00:42:05.460 Islamophobia.

00:42:08.180 And she was

00:42:09.060 asked if that's

00:42:10.180 a legitimate

00:42:10.880 fear, that

00:42:12.520 people are

00:42:12.980 afraid about

00:42:13.520 the rise of

00:42:14.420 Islam, I guess,

00:42:16.840 in the United

00:42:17.220 States.

00:42:18.200 I would say

00:42:19.060 that I'm

00:42:19.640 afraid of

00:42:20.080 that, because

00:42:21.420 the Islamic

00:42:22.660 system is

00:42:24.440 such that

00:42:25.180 it's built

00:42:26.640 to dominate.

00:42:28.560 And usually

00:42:29.560 there's a

00:42:30.060 very clear

00:42:31.520 plan to,

00:42:33.340 you know,

00:42:34.540 get more

00:42:35.680 people,

00:42:37.020 have more

00:42:38.080 babies,

00:42:39.620 you know,

00:42:39.860 carve out

00:42:40.380 your own

00:42:40.780 little area

00:42:41.540 where you

00:42:42.060 say, oh,

00:42:43.140 you know,

00:42:43.440 we'll be a

00:42:43.940 little Muslim 0.92

00:42:44.520 area.

00:42:45.560 Next thing

00:42:46.060 you know,

00:42:46.380 they're going

00:42:46.680 to be pressing

00:42:47.180 for Sharia

00:42:47.880 law, and

00:42:49.100 then after

00:42:49.540 that, trying

00:42:50.880 to take

00:42:51.260 over the

00:42:51.600 country.

00:42:53.440 So, yes,

00:42:55.160 I don't

00:42:56.200 know if I'm

00:42:56.780 Islamophobic.

00:42:58.840 You know, I

00:42:59.160 can say the

00:42:59.700 usual things

00:43:00.380 like, obviously,

00:43:01.220 it doesn't

00:43:01.620 apply to, you

00:43:03.160 know, most

00:43:03.840 Islamic

00:43:04.780 people, you

00:43:06.520 know, there

00:43:06.800 are good

00:43:07.120 people and

00:43:07.640 bad people in

00:43:08.400 every group,

00:43:09.400 blah, blah,

00:43:09.960 blah.

00:43:10.620 But yes, I'm

00:43:11.380 completely, I'm

00:43:12.740 completely afraid,

00:43:14.120 not afraid, but

00:43:15.060 I'm completely

00:43:16.400 concerned that

00:43:18.220 it's an

00:43:18.720 incompatible

00:43:19.540 system with

00:43:20.300 our current

00:43:20.780 system.

00:43:21.760 But it's

00:43:22.260 also a, what

00:43:24.440 would you

00:43:24.700 call it, a

00:43:25.380 sort of a

00:43:27.100 hungry system

00:43:28.120 that looks to

00:43:29.620 eat the other

00:43:30.300 systems.

00:43:32.300 But here's

00:43:33.040 what Ilan

00:43:33.500 Omar said,

00:43:34.580 our country

00:43:35.220 should be,

00:43:36.240 here's the

00:43:36.940 should,

00:43:38.260 our country

00:43:39.120 should be

00:43:39.720 more fearful

00:43:40.360 of white

00:43:41.040 men.

00:43:41.400 If fear

00:43:42.720 is the

00:43:43.180 driving force,

00:43:44.280 we should

00:43:44.900 be monitoring,

00:43:45.800 profiling,

00:43:46.380 and creating

00:43:46.800 policies to

00:43:47.620 fight the

00:43:48.120 radicalization

00:43:48.940 of white

00:43:49.480 men.

00:43:51.980 Okay.

00:43:54.420 Now, is

00:43:56.120 that a

00:43:56.460 Democrat

00:43:56.820 lying, or

00:43:59.020 is that

00:43:59.500 spinning and

00:44:00.820 leaving out

00:44:01.380 context?

00:44:02.760 It's more of

00:44:03.580 a spinning,

00:44:04.360 leaving out

00:44:04.840 context.

00:44:05.840 But I can

00:44:06.680 tell you that

00:44:07.360 most of us

00:44:08.220 would be

00:44:08.680 canceled forever

00:44:09.580 if we had

00:44:10.180 ever said

00:44:10.720 anything like

00:44:11.280 that.

00:44:12.500 But somehow,

00:44:14.000 somehow she

00:44:15.540 gets to say

00:44:16.120 that in

00:44:16.520 public, and

00:44:17.500 goes on like

00:44:18.520 nothing happened.

00:44:20.340 Amazing.

00:44:22.960 Well, as you

00:44:23.860 know, every

00:44:24.380 time Trump

00:44:24.920 tries to do

00:44:25.620 something,

00:44:26.140 there's some

00:44:26.500 kind of

00:44:26.900 federal court

00:44:28.220 that tries to

00:44:29.160 block it, and

00:44:30.100 then it gets

00:44:30.640 raised to a

00:44:32.040 higher court,

00:44:32.800 and sometimes

00:44:33.320 Trump wins.

00:44:34.720 Well, one of

00:44:35.200 those things was

00:44:36.140 Trump trying to

00:44:37.300 fire the staff

00:44:38.160 of the Voice

00:44:38.960 of America

00:44:39.600 people, and

00:44:41.160 then there was

00:44:41.540 a judge that

00:44:42.100 says, you

00:44:42.480 can't do

00:44:42.940 that, and

00:44:43.960 now there's

00:44:44.520 a D.C.

00:44:45.320 court who

00:44:47.520 struck down

00:44:48.320 the first

00:44:48.780 judge and

00:44:49.440 says, yes,

00:44:50.000 she can.

00:44:51.080 So the

00:44:51.460 Gateway

00:44:51.740 Pundit's

00:44:52.360 writing about

00:44:52.860 this.

00:44:53.660 So apparently

00:44:54.180 it's a big

00:44:55.140 win.

00:44:56.360 So Trump

00:44:57.060 does get to

00:44:58.240 say who

00:44:59.440 works in the

00:45:00.100 Voice of

00:45:00.520 America, and

00:45:01.320 he would like

00:45:01.820 that to be

00:45:02.280 nobody.

00:45:03.880 So we'll

00:45:04.580 see if this

00:45:05.120 extends to

00:45:05.820 other topics.

00:45:06.740 I'm not sure

00:45:07.220 it does.

00:45:08.960 Brett

00:45:10.020 Baer was

00:45:10.540 talking to

00:45:10.980 J.D.

00:45:11.340 Vance, and

00:45:12.240 he was

00:45:12.420 asking about

00:45:13.140 the Trump

00:45:15.260 2028, and

00:45:17.840 whether or not

00:45:18.440 Trump really

00:45:18.960 wants to run

00:45:19.680 for a third

00:45:20.320 term.

00:45:21.780 And here's

00:45:22.340 J.D.

00:45:22.960 Vance's

00:45:23.600 answer to

00:45:24.680 that.

00:45:25.100 He said,

00:45:25.900 with a big

00:45:26.560 smile, he

00:45:27.660 goes, I'll

00:45:28.060 let the

00:45:28.360 president speak

00:45:29.140 to his

00:45:29.540 political

00:45:29.940 future.

00:45:30.960 One thing

00:45:31.480 I'll say

00:45:31.840 about the

00:45:32.180 president of

00:45:32.740 the United

00:45:32.980 States, he 0.91

00:45:33.940 loves to have

00:45:34.440 a good time

00:45:35.100 with the

00:45:35.480 American media.

00:45:36.260 Now, I

00:45:37.880 think that's

00:45:38.400 your answer,

00:45:39.020 right?

00:45:40.040 Your answer

00:45:40.860 is he doesn't

00:45:41.520 want to speak

00:45:42.020 for the

00:45:42.340 president, but

00:45:44.380 he wants you

00:45:45.820 to know that

00:45:46.320 the president

00:45:46.740 likes to have

00:45:47.360 some fun with

00:45:48.080 the media.

00:45:49.220 So the

00:45:49.620 Trump 2028

00:45:51.320 thing, I

00:45:53.900 think maybe

00:45:54.920 he's testing

00:45:56.060 the waters to

00:45:56.920 see if there

00:45:57.320 was some

00:45:57.640 legal way to

00:45:58.340 do it, but

00:45:59.040 I don't

00:45:59.920 really think

00:46:00.640 he plans to

00:46:01.320 run again

00:46:02.740 in 2028.

00:46:05.260 At the

00:46:05.900 same time,

00:46:06.540 you probably

00:46:07.060 saw the

00:46:07.680 meme that

00:46:08.520 Trump put

00:46:08.980 out of

00:46:09.720 himself looking

00:46:10.840 like the

00:46:11.300 Pope, and

00:46:13.980 Bill Kristol

00:46:14.780 is trying to

00:46:15.420 turn this

00:46:15.900 into some

00:46:16.380 kind of

00:46:16.700 news, and

00:46:19.300 said that

00:46:19.700 the Pope

00:46:20.300 meme is

00:46:20.980 disrespectful to

00:46:23.040 Catholics, and

00:46:24.500 he asked

00:46:25.320 J.D.

00:46:26.000 Vance on

00:46:26.580 X if he

00:46:28.620 thought the

00:46:29.040 Pope meme

00:46:29.480 was disrespectful

00:46:30.420 to Catholics,

00:46:31.620 and J.D.

00:46:32.400 Vance responded

00:46:33.240 on X, well,

00:46:36.060 here's exactly

00:46:36.720 what Bill

00:46:37.900 Kristol said.

00:46:38.700 He said,

00:46:39.020 J.D.

00:46:39.300 Vance, are

00:46:40.260 you fine with

00:46:41.020 this disrespect

00:46:41.940 and mocking

00:46:42.720 of the Holy

00:46:43.340 Father?

00:46:45.620 And Vance

00:46:46.500 replies on

00:46:48.080 X, as a

00:46:49.420 general rule,

00:46:50.280 I'm fine with

00:46:50.980 people telling

00:46:51.660 jokes and

00:46:52.840 not fine with

00:46:53.640 people starting

00:46:54.360 stupid wars

00:46:55.280 that kill

00:46:55.700 thousands of

00:46:56.380 my countrymen,

00:46:57.260 because that's

00:46:58.500 a direct attack

00:46:59.660 on Bill

00:47:00.440 Kristol, who

00:47:01.000 likes his

00:47:01.480 wars.

00:47:02.400 So, that's

00:47:03.720 a perfect

00:47:04.120 answer.

00:47:05.680 You know, as

00:47:06.600 you're trying

00:47:07.780 to decide if

00:47:08.760 J.D.

00:47:09.380 Vance will

00:47:09.840 be the

00:47:10.200 2028

00:47:11.160 Trump

00:47:12.340 follow-up,

00:47:14.520 these are

00:47:15.920 just perfect

00:47:16.520 answers.

00:47:17.740 That he

00:47:18.100 likes jokes,

00:47:19.440 and he

00:47:20.060 doesn't like

00:47:20.600 war.

00:47:21.740 Perfect.

00:47:24.520 Well, here's

00:47:25.580 another lie

00:47:26.240 from the

00:47:26.900 Democrats.

00:47:28.000 I saw

00:47:29.500 this in a

00:47:30.020 post by

00:47:30.680 John

00:47:31.100 McCloy.

00:47:32.640 So, over

00:47:33.200 on MSNBC,

00:47:34.520 the former

00:47:35.180 Senator

00:47:35.720 Doug Jones

00:47:36.680 was claiming

00:47:38.080 that when

00:47:38.620 Trump did

00:47:39.200 his

00:47:39.560 commencement

00:47:40.260 address at

00:47:41.280 Alabama,

00:47:42.320 that he

00:47:44.000 wasn't

00:47:44.360 invited.

00:47:46.280 He said he

00:47:47.060 wasn't invited

00:47:47.800 to Alabama

00:47:49.040 to give a

00:47:49.680 commencement

00:47:50.180 address, and

00:47:51.560 they had to

00:47:52.140 open the event

00:47:52.820 to the general

00:47:53.400 public because

00:47:54.780 they couldn't

00:47:55.260 get anyone

00:47:55.780 else to

00:47:56.240 come in.

00:47:57.220 In other

00:47:57.560 words, the

00:47:58.460 college didn't

00:47:59.100 have enough

00:47:59.480 people interested

00:48:00.200 to go, so

00:48:01.420 they had to

00:48:01.820 open it to

00:48:02.320 the public

00:48:02.740 just to sort

00:48:03.520 of fill the

00:48:03.980 space.

00:48:05.520 None of

00:48:06.140 that was

00:48:06.460 true.

00:48:07.520 They did

00:48:08.340 invite him,

00:48:09.320 and the

00:48:09.560 place was

00:48:10.160 packed to

00:48:10.740 the gills,

00:48:11.600 and it was

00:48:12.480 a closed

00:48:13.320 ticketed event,

00:48:14.500 so it was

00:48:15.620 not available

00:48:16.140 to the general

00:48:16.760 public.

00:48:17.420 So, every

00:48:17.960 part of that

00:48:18.520 was just

00:48:18.940 completely

00:48:19.460 made up.

00:48:20.200 And, does

00:48:26.840 Carville even

00:48:27.580 notice that?

00:48:29.160 Probably not.

00:48:30.660 Probably not.

00:48:32.720 Well, here's

00:48:33.560 another least

00:48:34.900 surprising story

00:48:36.280 of all times.

00:48:37.600 Have you

00:48:37.900 noticed that

00:48:38.380 the New York

00:48:38.900 Times likes

00:48:40.700 to do these

00:48:41.360 deep dives on

00:48:42.240 stories to

00:48:43.240 discover something

00:48:44.140 that you and

00:48:44.900 I have known

00:48:45.420 for years?

00:48:47.020 And then they

00:48:47.560 make it look

00:48:48.060 like, you

00:48:49.360 know, they're

00:48:49.780 that they've

00:48:51.360 done some

00:48:51.760 great investigative

00:48:52.620 work, and

00:48:54.020 you and I

00:48:54.480 say here and

00:48:55.020 go, we all

00:48:56.920 knew that for

00:48:57.640 years.

00:48:58.620 Here's another

00:48:59.160 one.

00:49:00.160 So, a big

00:49:01.000 investigation by

00:49:01.920 the New York

00:49:02.300 Times, and

00:49:06.520 they've revealed

00:49:07.240 that Washington

00:49:08.320 and Kiev have

00:49:10.700 operated what

00:49:11.480 amounts to a

00:49:12.280 shadow military

00:49:13.360 alliance.

00:49:15.420 So, the New

00:49:16.520 York Times is

00:49:17.260 just finding

00:49:18.000 out, and

00:49:19.780 that the

00:49:21.040 U.S.

00:49:21.460 built 12

00:49:22.400 covert CIA

00:49:23.540 bases inside

00:49:24.560 Ukraine,

00:49:25.640 trained elite

00:49:26.500 units for

00:49:27.420 years, elite

00:49:28.600 Ukrainian units,

00:49:30.040 and fed a

00:49:30.700 constant stream

00:49:31.420 of battlefield

00:49:31.980 intelligence to

00:49:33.540 help Ukraine

00:49:34.200 strike Russian 1.00

00:49:35.080 targets.

00:49:37.100 Now, how

00:49:38.660 many of you

00:49:39.300 didn't know

00:49:39.840 that?

00:49:41.320 Is there

00:49:42.000 even one

00:49:43.080 person here

00:49:43.760 who didn't

00:49:44.300 know that the

00:49:44.920 U.S.

00:49:45.360 was sort

00:49:46.380 of low-key

00:49:48.900 using the

00:49:50.140 CIA to

00:49:50.920 help Ukraine

00:49:52.020 as much as

00:49:52.680 possible?

00:49:53.500 And obviously,

00:49:54.240 we were on

00:49:54.940 the ground,

00:49:55.980 and obviously,

00:49:56.780 there had to

00:49:57.300 be facilities

00:49:58.580 for all those

00:49:59.400 CIA people,

00:50:00.460 and obviously,

00:50:01.380 we were going

00:50:01.900 to train them

00:50:02.620 if only for

00:50:04.340 using our

00:50:04.880 weapons.

00:50:05.300 We'd have to

00:50:05.960 train them.

00:50:06.460 So, isn't

00:50:09.480 it weird that

00:50:10.140 the New York

00:50:10.580 Times does

00:50:11.200 these big

00:50:12.420 deep dives,

00:50:13.400 and they say,

00:50:14.540 oh, this

00:50:15.360 might surprise

00:50:16.360 you, but

00:50:16.800 guess what?

00:50:17.860 The United

00:50:18.380 States has

00:50:18.940 been deeply

00:50:19.460 involved in

00:50:20.080 this war in

00:50:20.760 a very practical

00:50:21.560 level since

00:50:22.300 the beginning.

00:50:23.600 And we all

00:50:24.520 say, I think

00:50:27.240 we all knew

00:50:27.760 that, just

00:50:29.420 because it's

00:50:30.040 obvious.

00:50:32.000 Worst kept

00:50:32.760 secret.

00:50:33.080 Well, you

00:50:36.520 might know

00:50:36.900 that Putin

00:50:38.200 had asked

00:50:38.940 for a

00:50:39.520 three-day

00:50:40.160 ceasefire,

00:50:41.740 because Putin's

00:50:42.480 got this big

00:50:43.100 Victory Day

00:50:43.920 celebration that

00:50:45.640 they're doing

00:50:46.080 in Russia,

00:50:47.740 Victory Day

00:50:48.400 over, I

00:50:50.120 guess,

00:50:51.360 over Hiller.

00:50:53.660 And they're

00:50:54.680 going to have

00:50:55.120 foreign

00:50:56.380 dignitaries

00:50:57.280 will be there,

00:50:57.960 et cetera.

00:50:58.560 So, we

00:50:58.940 wanted to

00:50:59.300 make sure

00:50:59.720 that you

00:51:03.060 Ukraine didn't 0.96

00:51:04.000 use that

00:51:04.500 opportunity to

00:51:05.360 attack the

00:51:06.340 event, because

00:51:08.020 people would be

00:51:08.880 exposed, and

00:51:09.860 it would just

00:51:11.600 be terrible if

00:51:12.380 he attacked

00:51:12.800 it.

00:51:13.480 And Zelensky

00:51:14.220 has basically

00:51:16.220 said, it's

00:51:17.280 fair game.

00:51:20.760 Zelensky just

00:51:21.600 said directly,

00:51:22.400 it's fair game.

00:51:24.700 We're at war,

00:51:25.660 we can attack

00:51:26.260 anything we

00:51:26.800 want.

00:51:27.660 Now, on one

00:51:28.260 hand, I kind

00:51:29.980 of agree with

00:51:30.620 that.

00:51:30.880 if you're at

00:51:31.940 war, you 0.92

00:51:33.220 can attack

00:51:34.020 whatever you

00:51:34.540 need to

00:51:34.880 attack.

00:51:36.520 But it

00:51:37.580 seems like it

00:51:38.160 would be the

00:51:38.620 worst idea in

00:51:39.440 the world to

00:51:40.000 attack this

00:51:40.660 Victory Day

00:51:41.740 thing, because

00:51:42.720 it would just

00:51:43.320 make Putin

00:51:43.940 more angry,

00:51:45.880 and that's

00:51:46.360 nothing good

00:51:47.580 could come

00:51:48.020 from that.

00:51:49.140 But it

00:51:49.860 doesn't sound

00:51:50.440 like Zelensky

00:51:51.200 wants peace.

00:51:53.040 If you

00:51:53.660 wanted peace,

00:51:55.160 you would at

00:51:56.280 least say,

00:51:56.820 all right, we'll

00:51:57.220 give you the

00:51:57.680 three days, but

00:51:58.600 we'd rather

00:51:59.140 have a

00:52:00.120 permanent

00:52:00.400 ceasefire.

00:52:02.280 You don't

00:52:02.880 say we

00:52:03.600 might attack

00:52:05.360 your Victory

00:52:06.060 Day parade.

00:52:08.140 This is very

00:52:09.220 clearly not

00:52:10.240 working toward

00:52:10.940 peace.

00:52:12.920 Speaking of

00:52:13.780 not working

00:52:14.300 toward peace,

00:52:15.040 the Times of

00:52:15.600 Israel is

00:52:16.080 reporting that

00:52:16.840 the Houthis

00:52:17.760 sent some

00:52:20.360 ballistic missile

00:52:21.360 toward Israel

00:52:22.420 and it blew

00:52:23.320 up near Ben

00:52:24.200 Gurion airport.

00:52:25.560 It didn't kill

00:52:26.140 anybody or

00:52:26.740 hurt anybody,

00:52:27.320 but Israel

00:52:29.080 is wondering

00:52:29.560 why they

00:52:30.040 didn't shoot

00:52:30.980 it down.

00:52:32.580 So they've

00:52:33.060 got their

00:52:33.540 missile defense

00:52:35.760 systems and

00:52:36.480 it was only

00:52:36.860 one missile

00:52:37.480 and it

00:52:38.860 apparently got

00:52:39.600 through the

00:52:39.940 defenses, so

00:52:40.700 they're going

00:52:40.980 to have to

00:52:41.280 figure out

00:52:41.720 what's up

00:52:42.260 with that.

00:52:43.680 But does

00:52:45.020 it seem to

00:52:45.540 you like the

00:52:46.080 entire point

00:52:46.960 of the

00:52:47.300 Houthis is

00:52:49.280 to either

00:52:50.120 create a

00:52:50.960 bigger war,

00:52:53.000 well, just

00:52:53.500 that, to

00:52:54.120 create a

00:52:54.520 bigger war?

00:52:55.000 I feel

00:52:56.540 like that's

00:52:56.920 all they're

00:52:57.320 doing, is

00:52:58.340 trying to

00:52:58.760 create a

00:52:59.180 bigger war.

00:53:00.460 Meanwhile, over

00:53:01.200 in the UK, I

00:53:02.280 saw the

00:53:02.760 Amuse account

00:53:03.680 writing about

00:53:04.300 this, the

00:53:05.980 UK has

00:53:06.580 found what

00:53:07.480 they think

00:53:07.920 are eight

00:53:08.500 terror suspects

00:53:09.560 that are

00:53:10.860 Iranian, that 0.98

00:53:12.440 were in

00:53:12.740 their country,

00:53:14.200 accused of

00:53:14.880 planning massive

00:53:15.660 terror attacks

00:53:16.480 against British 0.99

00:53:17.200 citizens.

00:53:18.820 Now, do

00:53:20.880 you think that

00:53:21.440 would have been

00:53:21.840 a good play

00:53:22.540 from Iran

00:53:23.600 to do a

00:53:25.560 massive terror

00:53:26.340 attack in

00:53:28.200 the UK?

00:53:29.740 I don't

00:53:30.340 know.

00:53:31.720 It seems

00:53:32.240 like that

00:53:32.580 would be a

00:53:32.960 weird play

00:53:33.580 while they're

00:53:34.920 talking about

00:53:35.400 a peace

00:53:35.760 deal.

00:53:39.160 Unless it's

00:53:39.980 just in case

00:53:40.860 things went

00:53:41.340 bad or

00:53:41.800 something.

00:53:42.820 But doesn't

00:53:43.420 it make you

00:53:43.860 wonder how

00:53:44.280 many Iranian

00:53:44.900 terrorists are

00:53:45.760 already in the

00:53:46.340 United States?

00:53:47.940 If there were

00:53:48.780 eight of them

00:53:49.520 in the UK

00:53:50.280 and they

00:53:51.180 were looking

00:53:51.740 to do some

00:53:52.320 big terror

00:53:52.780 thing, there

00:53:54.480 might be

00:53:55.020 dozens of

00:53:56.020 them, if

00:53:57.840 not hundreds,

00:53:59.040 in the

00:53:59.400 United States

00:54:00.140 because we

00:54:00.680 haven't had

00:54:01.120 border security

00:54:02.060 until recently.

00:54:03.860 So that's

00:54:04.840 the thing I

00:54:05.300 worry about

00:54:05.860 the most,

00:54:06.980 is if we

00:54:08.040 ended up

00:54:08.480 being involved

00:54:09.800 in some

00:54:10.280 kind of a

00:54:10.880 terror attack,

00:54:13.940 if we got

00:54:15.220 involved in,

00:54:16.140 let's say,

00:54:16.740 working with

00:54:17.380 Israel to

00:54:17.920 attack the

00:54:18.680 nuclear

00:54:19.740 facilities in

00:54:20.860 Iran, I

00:54:22.220 feel like

00:54:22.700 they would

00:54:23.000 activate their

00:54:23.760 terrorists. 0.53

00:54:25.700 And it

00:54:26.380 would be a

00:54:26.860 really bad

00:54:27.520 week in

00:54:28.360 America.

00:54:30.080 So that

00:54:31.720 does worry

00:54:32.760 me.

00:54:34.960 Well, in

00:54:35.720 other science

00:54:36.600 news, there

00:54:38.300 are new

00:54:38.600 solar panels

00:54:41.240 that are

00:54:42.380 a thousand

00:54:42.940 times stronger

00:54:44.000 and thinner

00:54:44.680 than a human

00:54:45.380 hair.

00:54:46.880 And it's

00:54:47.420 way more

00:54:48.160 efficient,

00:54:49.820 a thousand

00:54:50.500 times more

00:54:51.160 powerful than

00:54:51.900 silicon, and

00:54:52.760 way more

00:54:53.260 durable,

00:54:54.740 according to

00:54:55.480 the bright

00:54:55.820 side of the

00:54:56.280 news.

00:54:57.080 Now, I

00:54:57.460 think I've

00:54:57.760 told you

00:54:58.040 before that

00:54:58.780 all of

00:55:00.160 these massive

00:55:01.120 improvements in

00:55:02.100 solar panels

00:55:02.960 and fusion

00:55:04.480 and, you

00:55:06.560 know,

00:55:06.680 batteries,

00:55:08.440 you really

00:55:09.400 have to

00:55:09.700 think in

00:55:10.080 terms of,

00:55:10.840 you know,

00:55:11.700 five to

00:55:12.320 20 years

00:55:13.040 before any

00:55:13.660 of this

00:55:13.980 finds its

00:55:14.660 way into

00:55:15.080 the commercial

00:55:15.740 world.

00:55:16.960 But it's

00:55:18.180 kind of

00:55:18.440 exciting.

00:55:20.380 And then

00:55:20.740 lastly, because

00:55:22.140 it's May

00:55:23.180 4th, there's

00:55:26.480 a company

00:55:26.960 called, let's

00:55:28.860 see, who are

00:55:29.520 they?

00:55:29.860 It's a

00:55:30.200 Polish firm.

00:55:31.740 They've

00:55:32.300 created this

00:55:32.840 Star Wars

00:55:33.620 styled air

00:55:34.460 bike, except

00:55:36.020 it uses a

00:55:36.740 jet engine.

00:55:37.380 So it's

00:55:38.680 like a

00:55:39.100 flying motorcycle

00:55:40.120 with a

00:55:40.620 jet engine.

00:55:41.820 And it

00:55:42.500 shows it,

00:55:43.280 you know,

00:55:44.160 looking really

00:55:44.860 cool and

00:55:45.500 flying over

00:55:46.040 this desert

00:55:46.720 area.

00:55:47.620 And I'm

00:55:48.340 thinking to

00:55:48.780 myself, you

00:55:49.920 kind of have

00:55:50.460 to have your

00:55:50.860 own desert,

00:55:51.900 don't you?

00:55:53.320 Because where

00:55:54.200 exactly would

00:55:55.000 you fly a

00:55:57.100 jet-powered

00:55:58.140 motorcycle?

00:55:59.980 You wouldn't

00:56:00.760 do it in the

00:56:01.300 suburbs.

00:56:03.420 You couldn't

00:56:04.280 do it in

00:56:04.720 the city.

00:56:05.220 you couldn't

00:56:07.600 do it really

00:56:08.080 anywhere.

00:56:09.480 You know, you

00:56:09.940 couldn't do it

00:56:10.420 over other

00:56:10.960 people's property

00:56:11.900 because they're

00:56:13.500 really low,

00:56:14.100 they're not way

00:56:14.620 up in the air,

00:56:15.300 they're like,

00:56:15.900 I don't know,

00:56:16.520 20 feet up.

00:56:19.340 So to me,

00:56:20.260 this seems like

00:56:20.920 the worst

00:56:21.620 commercial idea

00:56:22.900 I've ever seen

00:56:23.580 in my life,

00:56:24.320 although the

00:56:24.840 technology looked

00:56:25.600 pretty cool.

00:56:27.400 So, all

00:56:28.720 right, that's

00:56:29.040 all I got for

00:56:29.600 you today.

00:56:31.440 Yeah, and it's

00:56:32.180 also loud.

00:56:33.760 Yeah, I can't

00:56:34.980 see that that

00:56:35.560 is the future,

00:56:36.860 but who

00:56:37.620 knows, maybe.

00:56:40.040 Jay Leno

00:56:40.820 has a jet

00:56:41.540 motorcycle.

00:56:43.240 He probably

00:56:43.640 doesn't use it

00:56:44.280 too much.

00:56:46.880 All right,

00:56:47.960 thanks for

00:56:48.900 joining everybody.

00:56:49.940 I'm going to

00:56:50.820 locals people

00:56:51.520 for just

00:56:52.240 briefly.

00:56:53.840 And the

00:56:54.300 rest of you,

00:56:55.140 thanks for
