Transcript

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,
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,
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.
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.
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,
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,
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%
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.

00:21:02.140 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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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,
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
00:56:50.280 talk to the
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
00:56:55.540 joining.
00:56:55.920 I'll see you
