Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2839 CWSA 05⧸14⧸25

00:00:00.000 hacking my stocks, and I've made more money from Elon Musk in the past year than from

00:00:09.300 anything else, if you count stock appreciation and stuff I do on X, you know, like the

00:00:17.260 subscription to Dilbert, et cetera.

00:00:20.540 So, stocks are up a little bit, but not all of them.

00:00:25.240 The S&P 500's down a little bit.

00:00:27.980 A little bit.

00:00:29.640 You'll hardly even notice.

00:00:32.940 All right, let's get the comments going.

00:00:36.200 There we go.

00:00:50.540 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:55.560 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:00:59.240 But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with

00:01:04.780 their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or

00:01:10.680 a chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:15.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:17.640 I like coffee.

00:01:19.680 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day, the

00:01:23.880 thing that makes everything better.

00:01:25.460 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now.

00:01:29.220 Go.

00:01:35.740 Sublime.

00:01:36.260 Well, I wonder if there's any sketchy science that says that coffee is good for you.

00:01:46.040 Oh, yeah, there is.

00:01:48.480 Thanks to the Daily Coffee News, who I suspect is an organ of big coffee, so you can trust

00:01:56.980 them totally.

00:01:58.380 A diet rich in foods containing polyphenols, of which there's a lot in coffee, can dramatically

00:02:05.660 reduce the risk of metabolic syndrome, which is a major risk factor for heart disease.

00:02:11.520 So if that sip of coffee made your heart feel better in a variety of ways, that's not an

00:02:19.640 imagination.

00:02:21.160 Yeah.

00:02:21.320 Well, enjoying the simultaneous sip can make your heart feel better.

00:02:29.100 Well, it's a scientific fact, according to Big Coffee.

00:02:34.420 Did you know that egg prices have plummeted 12.7% this month, according to the Gateway Pundit?

00:02:42.660 I'm glad somebody's watching the price of eggs.

00:02:45.940 You know what's the best part about the price of eggs going down?

00:02:51.320 Is it the economic benefit?

00:02:55.100 Is it that you can buy more eggs?

00:02:58.740 No.

00:02:59.460 It's so Democrats can shut the fuck up about eggs.

00:03:03.220 I've never been so happy about eggs.

00:03:06.680 So they're not mentioning eggs?

00:03:10.100 Oh, thank God.

00:03:12.100 Thank God.

00:03:13.600 Because it was the one thing they understood.

00:03:16.780 Eggs are up.

00:03:18.000 Eggs are up.

00:03:19.080 What about those eggs?

00:03:20.140 What has Trump done about the eggs?

00:03:23.240 Now that the eggs are down, they just sort of go quiet about the eggs.

00:03:28.480 But they do have new words.

00:03:31.420 And we'll talk about that in a little bit.

00:03:35.040 So here's something surprising and awesome.

00:03:38.820 According to Interesting Engineering, a U.S. company has made a drone battery,

00:03:46.580 so a battery for their drone, that can last three hours.

00:03:51.760 And it doesn't use any of the minerals that we get from China.

00:03:57.400 So it doesn't have, there's no nickel, manganese, cobalt, or graphite.

00:04:08.500 And it can go 86 miles an hour.

00:04:11.340 It's a San Jose-based company called Lytten, L-Y-T-E-N.

00:04:16.540 Remember, I keep asking, are there any American companies making drones?

00:04:23.360 And I think that maybe the reason we didn't have them before is because drones were more

00:04:30.980 of a personal hobby kind of a product.

00:04:33.780 And it wasn't in a market for our, you know, higher costs of manufacturing, which I assume.

00:04:41.060 So it didn't make sense to go into the drone-making business

00:04:44.600 because you couldn't really meet the, you know, quality and the price of the Chinese drones.

00:04:50.660 But as soon as it becomes a critical military need,

00:04:55.920 we're talking about more expensive drones.

00:04:59.840 And suddenly, you could get really, really rich making drones.

00:05:04.840 So I'll bet you there are quite a few drone startup companies.

00:05:07.660 I don't know.

00:05:08.560 But their battery is lithium sulfur.

00:05:12.000 And apparently, it's ready to go.

00:05:15.820 It's not hypothetical.

00:05:19.780 It's here and it's ready to go.

00:05:22.320 So this suggests an interesting possibility.

00:05:26.900 We kind of assume that the way we get some, let's say, economic and security comfort

00:05:37.000 with the fact that China has all these critical things we need,

00:05:41.620 it could be that instead of mining our own critical things,

00:05:46.840 we will innovate so we don't need them.

00:05:49.600 So what if we just stop needing these critical minerals?

00:05:55.000 I mean, obviously, we still need them for phones and other electronics,

00:05:58.180 but would it be impossible to innovate so that we just don't need those mines at all?

00:06:07.920 Maybe.

00:06:08.640 What about pharmaceuticals?

00:06:11.160 Is it possible, you know, especially with AI coming,

00:06:15.540 that the AI will say, you don't need those pills.

00:06:18.380 Yes, they're not working.

00:06:20.460 Here's what you need.

00:06:21.420 It'll solve all your problems.

00:06:22.800 And by the way, China doesn't have a monopoly on this stuff.

00:06:27.240 Maybe.

00:06:28.400 So the decoupling from China could be from innovation,

00:06:33.120 not because we figure out a different way to get stuff.

00:06:36.840 Possible.

00:06:37.280 In related news, Toyota is planning to launch an EV with a 745-mile range.

00:06:49.300 That's about double what a lot of the EVs have,

00:06:53.560 but it's way more than even the biggest one right now.

00:06:57.040 And you'll be able to charge it in 10 minutes.

00:07:00.440 So I'd kind of stopped reporting on all the battery innovations because it was boring,

00:07:09.080 and there were too many of them,

00:07:11.000 and they were going to take, you know, 10 to 15 years to actually be in any products.

00:07:16.200 But apparently, these are going to be in products really soon.

00:07:21.300 So this is fully developed, recharged in 10 minutes.

00:07:26.620 And Harvard researchers say that the batteries could last up to 30 years.

00:07:32.960 So 745-mile range, 10 minutes to charge it up,

00:07:41.600 and the battery lasts 30 years.

00:07:44.800 Not bad, Toyota.

00:07:48.580 And it raises the bar for Tesla, doesn't it?

00:07:53.320 Well, Jensen Wang of NVIDIA,

00:07:57.720 he's agreed with Elon Musk on the value of robots, humanoid robots.

00:08:05.300 I think Elon Musk said at the high end,

00:08:09.360 the robot market could be $50 trillion.

00:08:13.440 And that's what Jensen Wang says.

00:08:16.600 He says it could be a $50 trillion industry

00:08:19.380 because the world is short of workers,

00:08:22.880 and there's a declining birth rate,

00:08:24.820 and he thinks the first use will be in manufacturing.

00:08:30.120 So people keep asking me,

00:08:34.300 Scott, how do I plan my future in the robot world?

00:08:39.800 And I don't know the answer to that

00:08:42.040 because I'm definitely not smart enough to peer into the future

00:08:45.960 and see what all that robot business is going to bring.

00:08:49.360 But I'll give you kind of a general advice,

00:08:54.100 which is I think the economic value of doing stuff,

00:08:58.500 you know, carrying things from here to there

00:09:00.400 and just doing stuff is going to drop to zero

00:09:04.480 because the robots will do it.

00:09:05.820 But the value of owning stuff might be retained

00:09:11.280 because robots can't own anything.

00:09:14.460 So if you own a hotel and people want to stay at it,

00:09:19.760 as long as there's still some people around,

00:09:22.980 you know, that might be worth something.

00:09:24.780 If you own robots, you know,

00:09:27.960 maybe the model will be that individuals can own a dozen robots,

00:09:33.620 and then the robots just go to work for you.

00:09:36.360 That's what the new Teslas will be able to do soon.

00:09:42.500 Very soon you'll be able to park your Tesla on the curb,

00:09:47.240 and if anybody wants an auto taxi,

00:09:50.600 they can just call it on their app,

00:09:52.040 and your car will drive to them and make some money while you're asleep.

00:09:56.980 So that's a case of owning something instead of doing something.

00:10:03.200 So just think in those terms.

00:10:05.760 Think of something that a robot can't do.

00:10:08.860 You know, let's say, I don't know.

00:10:11.980 There's some things where you just need people,

00:10:15.000 but they tend not to be the highest-paying jobs.

00:10:19.520 All right, but let me give you a counterpoint, all right?

00:10:23.660 The counterpoint, Mario Knopfel on X is arguing that radiologists

00:10:33.740 started using AI because it's way faster, you know,

00:10:38.480 to look at, what do they look at, imaging?

00:10:41.260 So once you do some imaging, the radiologist has to look at it and say,

00:10:46.320 oh, this is bigger than it should be.

00:10:49.940 But apparently that was a laborious process

00:10:53.300 where they literally had to measure the size of stuff.

00:10:57.140 So they would say, oh, this looks like it's a little bit bigger than it should be.

00:11:02.120 And now they say, yeah, I can do that.

00:11:04.480 But instead of replacing radiologists,

00:11:08.040 it just became a tool for radiologists.

00:11:10.420 Ontario, the wait is over.

00:11:52.760 Why settle for less when you can go for the gold

00:11:55.240 at Golden Nugget Online Casino?

00:11:57.640 Now, how many of you remember

00:12:13.520 the dawn of the computer era

00:12:16.540 where the smart people said

00:12:19.060 it was going to make paper obsolete?

00:12:20.800 You know, paper.

00:12:25.220 And then you waited for a paper to become obsolete,

00:12:28.660 and people just kept using paper.

00:12:31.640 In fact, since it was easier to make documents

00:12:34.720 and you couldn't carry your computer to meetings

00:12:37.460 for at least for a while,

00:12:39.100 you'd bring paper.

00:12:42.500 Now, I haven't been in the real-world business for a while.

00:12:48.060 Now, is it still true that if you go to a meeting,

00:12:51.840 people are going to have paper with them?

00:12:54.200 Or has that now been completely replaced with

00:12:56.820 bring your laptop?

00:12:59.820 Is there anybody still in the business world?

00:13:03.700 But here's the thing.

00:13:05.940 I think it was 40 years ago.

00:13:11.180 It was maybe 40 years ago

00:13:13.140 that we thought paper would go away.

00:13:14.800 I have not bought any less paper in 40 years.

00:13:21.320 But now it's a mix of paper and laptops.

00:13:26.480 I think depending on the company,

00:13:28.680 it would be embarrassing to have paper.

00:13:33.020 I hope people don't even go to the meetings in person.

00:13:35.540 They do it remotely.

00:13:39.440 Paper took a hit because of the pandemic, you think.

00:13:42.120 You use both.

00:13:47.040 All right.

00:13:47.780 So my only point, it's not really about paper.

00:13:51.000 It's about we're not really good at estimating

00:13:54.720 what's going to go away.

00:13:56.560 Do you remember when television was invented?

00:14:01.100 I'm old enough to basically remember

00:14:03.260 when televisions were introduced into the living room

00:14:06.520 and all the smart people said,

00:14:08.460 well, radio's dead.

00:14:09.480 But radio didn't die.

00:14:12.980 It just moved into your car

00:14:14.500 and then became talk radio for politics

00:14:18.440 and Rush Limbaugh and stuff like that.

00:14:20.780 We're really, really bad

00:14:22.720 at estimating what's going to go away.

00:14:27.480 We're a little bit better at estimating

00:14:29.600 what's going to arrive,

00:14:31.840 but it doesn't replace things as quickly

00:14:34.700 as cars and horse and buggy.

00:14:38.360 So for every example where something

00:14:41.680 did obviously replace something,

00:14:44.440 like cell phones did obviously replace

00:14:47.920 pretty much the bulk of wired phones,

00:14:52.120 at least in terms of usage.

00:14:54.840 We'll see.

00:14:56.540 So that's a counterpoint.

00:14:58.260 Then maybe people, humans will just use the AI,

00:15:01.680 but you still need the human.

00:15:02.740 How about a counter to the counterpoint?

00:15:07.440 All right.

00:15:08.180 Counter to the counterpoint.

00:15:11.060 I saw Greg Eisenberg on X.

00:15:15.940 He's saying that Microsoft just terminated 7,000 employees

00:15:19.860 because AI couldn't do their jobs.

00:15:23.440 But would you like a counterpoint

00:15:28.560 to the counterpoint of the counterpoint?

00:15:32.840 Somebody named Incognito John 23

00:15:36.760 said that's misleading

00:15:38.540 because the employee terminations

00:15:42.480 are really based on a merger

00:15:44.920 where they just had too many employees

00:15:47.200 and not based on AI.

00:15:48.620 So watch out for your fake news about AI.

00:15:56.080 And would you like a counter to the counter

00:15:59.360 to the counter to the counterpoint?

00:16:01.620 All right.

00:16:02.420 Well, I have one.

00:16:04.100 So according to Futurism,

00:16:06.660 there was a company that wanted to be

00:16:08.940 the darling of open AI

00:16:10.420 and be the first ones

00:16:12.560 to replace its marketing and customer service

00:16:15.800 with AI.

00:16:18.240 So I guess they've been trying to do that

00:16:20.660 since AI,

00:16:22.540 OpenAI and ChatGPT

00:16:24.960 got good enough to try.

00:16:27.620 And they're now giving up on that

00:16:29.780 because they found that AI

00:16:32.420 did not make their customers happy.

00:16:35.500 It was cheaper

00:16:37.020 because they did get rid of the human employees.

00:16:40.780 But apparently their efforts

00:16:44.320 to automate marketing and customer service

00:16:46.740 didn't work out.

00:16:50.240 It's a financial tech startup.

00:16:52.840 So they're going to basically reverse it

00:16:55.740 and put humans back into it.

00:16:59.060 Now, imagine if you were calling some company

00:17:03.120 and you had a problem.

00:17:05.820 How many times is your problem

00:17:08.100 something that they've heard of before?

00:17:10.780 In my case, it's never.

00:17:13.860 I can't think of a single time

00:17:15.940 I've ever called customer support

00:17:18.120 and they'd ever even heard of,

00:17:20.780 heard of my problem.

00:17:24.380 Every time I've had to call,

00:17:26.280 which is many, many times,

00:17:27.760 like most of you,

00:17:29.200 the person who takes the call

00:17:30.780 has never heard of what my problem is.

00:17:33.900 And they have to figure it out

00:17:35.340 like they're starting from scratch.

00:17:38.320 And then they've got to talk to people

00:17:40.860 and they've got to look at their notes

00:17:42.360 and you've got to try things

00:17:43.800 and you've got to reboot.

00:17:45.480 But never, never

00:17:47.740 is there something that they've seen before.

00:17:51.520 Now, why?

00:17:52.420 I don't know.

00:17:53.600 Who knows?

00:17:54.320 Just too many different situations.

00:17:55.960 But imagine if you've got an AI

00:17:58.480 and the AI was trying to figure out

00:18:02.180 how to solve a problem

00:18:03.240 that nobody had ever seen before.

00:18:05.960 How well would it do?

00:18:08.500 Since it's only trained on things

00:18:10.440 it's seen before,

00:18:12.040 could it really figure out a new thing

00:18:14.300 that, you know,

00:18:15.920 would its pattern recognition be enough?

00:18:18.580 If it didn't work for the humans

00:18:21.460 and the humans would be,

00:18:23.160 you know, highly trained.

00:18:24.880 So imagine how frustrated you would be

00:18:27.800 if you couldn't talk to a human

00:18:30.160 and you also couldn't get a solution.

00:18:35.260 You would be insane.

00:18:38.960 Your brain would be on fire.

00:18:42.040 At least if you can talk to a human,

00:18:44.300 you feel like you've gotten past

00:18:47.240 the first, you know,

00:18:49.720 the first barrier.

00:18:51.340 Like, okay, I'm talking to a human

00:18:53.080 and this human needs to make me happy

00:18:55.660 because their pain just depends on it.

00:18:58.920 But the AI doesn't get paid.

00:19:01.640 So the AI doesn't really feel what you feel.

00:19:05.640 It's not really on your side.

00:19:09.100 It's just doing things by patterns.

00:19:11.640 But if you've got a customer service

00:19:14.220 person and you know that they're measured

00:19:16.840 by their ability to quickly satisfy you

00:19:20.140 and there might even be somebody

00:19:22.020 listening to the call,

00:19:23.680 you at least feel like they're trying hard

00:19:26.080 to solve your problem.

00:19:27.980 So that's my counter, counter,

00:19:30.900 counter, counter point

00:19:32.240 to AI taking all the jobs.

00:19:35.680 So look at it.

00:19:36.580 It's almost like ridiculously hard

00:19:39.320 to predict what's coming.

00:19:42.400 So that's a problem.

00:19:44.220 Well, there's a group that says

00:19:46.720 that robots and AI already have free will.

00:19:53.740 Do you know how they decided

00:19:55.520 that AI has free will already?

00:19:58.720 They changed the definition of free will.

00:20:01.460 Okay.

00:20:04.080 So here's their definition of free will.

00:20:07.160 So the following conditions have to be met.

00:20:09.760 And this comes from NeuroEdge.

00:20:13.480 It's based on a new study published in the Journal of AI and Ethics.

00:20:17.980 So they say that AI has free will if it meets the following conditions.

00:20:25.240 And some of you are going to say,

00:20:27.280 yeah, that's the same with humans.

00:20:29.260 Right?

00:20:29.640 It should be.

00:20:30.780 So it shouldn't be the same standard as with humans.

00:20:34.080 All right.

00:20:34.320 Condition number one.

00:20:36.000 It has goals and purposes.

00:20:38.760 Check.

00:20:39.980 Yeah.

00:20:40.340 It does have goals and purposes

00:20:41.800 because you just program those in there.

00:20:44.660 It has genuine alternatives,

00:20:47.340 meaning that it can choose from different options.

00:20:51.760 Check.

00:20:52.860 It could definitely do that.

00:20:54.540 What good would it be if it couldn't do that?

00:20:57.280 And it has the capacity to control actions

00:20:59.840 based on those intentions.

00:21:02.740 Check.

00:21:04.160 It can do all those things.

00:21:05.540 Do you know what all those things are collectively?

00:21:10.280 Cause and effect.

00:21:12.700 It's just cause and effect.

00:21:15.220 So if you define free will to be identical to cause and effect,

00:21:21.420 well, sure.

00:21:22.900 Okay.

00:21:23.340 Now your AI has free will,

00:21:24.860 but it doesn't mean a thing.

00:21:26.400 It's just cause and effect.

00:21:29.920 So I know that's making half of you crazy.

00:21:36.300 But think about it.

00:21:38.600 All right.

00:21:40.640 Let's talk about Trump.

00:21:44.040 And stuff.

00:21:45.520 But first we'll talk about RFK.

00:21:48.080 So RFK Jr.

00:21:50.320 is going after pesticides and food.

00:21:53.280 And I guess he's got some report that's coming.

00:21:56.560 And the pesticides he's targeting,

00:21:59.740 and I assume that the report would have to support that

00:22:02.820 or he wouldn't keep targeting.

00:22:04.760 Would be glyphosate and atrazine.

00:22:12.740 And he thinks those are toxins.

00:22:16.940 Now, Trump officials are reviewing it,

00:22:19.620 but no decisions have been made.

00:22:22.320 The farm groups are against it

00:22:23.920 because it would lower yields, of course.

00:22:27.220 But here's what I didn't know.

00:22:28.760 Apparently, the European Union still allows glyphosate.

00:22:35.500 I swear I've heard a thousand times

00:22:37.960 that they don't allow glyphosate in Europe,

00:22:40.940 but apparently they do.

00:22:42.740 However, the other one, atrazine,

00:22:46.840 is not allowed in the European Union,

00:22:49.380 but it is allowed in America.

00:22:51.800 So we'll see.

00:22:52.740 We'll see if we end up banning both,

00:22:55.820 or maybe we just match Europe and ban the one.

00:22:59.700 We'll see.

00:23:00.240 But I do like the fact that every time RFK Jr. has an idea,

00:23:07.500 his critics go crazy and they say,

00:23:10.260 but, but, but, you've got to look at the science.

00:23:14.980 And then every time he's looking at something,

00:23:18.040 he says, well, that's what we're doing.

00:23:19.660 You know, we commissioned a study

00:23:22.140 or we put together a meta-study

00:23:24.160 or we're looking at the science every time.

00:23:28.420 He doesn't sometimes look at the science

00:23:31.080 and sometimes guess.

00:23:34.720 What do his critics think he's doing?

00:23:37.980 Do they think he's guessing?

00:23:40.480 He made it very clear that he's all about the science

00:23:44.680 and he's going to show us his work

00:23:47.520 and other scientists will get to look at it

00:23:50.580 and they'll have plenty of time to say,

00:23:53.080 this is good science or bad science

00:23:55.360 or to add some more science.

00:23:57.580 But it's amazing to me

00:24:00.620 that his critics have decided

00:24:03.220 that sometimes he's going to use the science

00:24:05.320 and sometimes he's just going to make shit up.

00:24:09.020 That's not going to happen.

00:24:11.880 He's going to go with the science every single time.

00:24:15.760 Now, the science might be wrong,

00:24:17.520 but he's not going to ignore the science.

00:24:20.220 That's not going to start happening all of a sudden.

00:24:24.680 Anyway, I guess President Trump

00:24:26.820 got to meet the new Syrian president

00:24:30.080 who not too long ago

00:24:32.180 had a $10 million bounty on his head

00:24:35.340 for being a terrorist.

00:24:36.760 But now he's reformed

00:24:38.480 because, you know, terrorists sometimes reform.

00:24:41.940 It might be the first time it's ever happened.

00:24:46.680 But he met the Syrian president,

00:24:49.520 not in Syria, but in Saudi Arabia.

00:24:52.240 And it wasn't the longest meeting in the world,

00:24:55.400 but the crown prince of Saudi Arabia

00:24:58.080 and Turkey's Erdogan joined by phone.

00:25:02.300 And it looks like the people who are on our side

00:25:05.680 are trying to rehabilitate this guy,

00:25:07.640 you know, reputationally so that we can work with him.

00:25:12.540 And the idea is that

00:25:14.300 Trump is going to remove his sanctions,

00:25:18.200 which is something Syria desperately needs.

00:25:20.820 And the government of Syria

00:25:25.000 is going to take some steps to meet U.S. demands.

00:25:28.280 And that would include arresting militants

00:25:30.560 and also having relations with Israel,

00:25:36.340 positive relations with Israel.

00:25:38.180 And they've said yes to those.

00:25:40.680 So, I mean, if he's a reformed terrorist,

00:25:45.040 he's doing a real good job of it.

00:25:47.000 Yeah, I'm not close enough to this situation

00:25:51.580 to know if this is all a good idea

00:25:53.900 or the worst idea ever.

00:25:55.780 But he's making a hell of a show

00:25:57.960 of being a reformed guy

00:26:01.040 who just wants things to work out.

00:26:04.760 Israel said none of this will stop

00:26:07.200 their military operations in southern Syria,

00:26:10.380 because I guess there's still some bad guys

00:26:12.460 in southern Syria that Israel's after.

00:26:14.280 But Ali London was reporting

00:26:18.620 that what the U.S. wants them to do

00:26:21.740 is to sign on to the Abraham Accords,

00:26:25.200 including relations with Israel,

00:26:28.320 to tell the foreign terrorists to leave Syria.

00:26:31.560 Well, tell them.

00:26:32.640 I mean, he probably has to do more than tell them.

00:26:35.740 Deport Palestinian terrorists.

00:26:38.640 I don't know why you'd make a difference

00:26:39.960 between one kind of terrorist and another.

00:26:41.960 And help the U.S.

00:26:46.180 fight against ISIS

00:26:47.200 and assume responsibility

00:26:50.540 for ISIS detention centers

00:26:52.480 in northeast Syria.

00:26:55.180 That all sounds kind of doable.

00:26:57.980 And I think the Syrians plan to do it.

00:27:02.340 So wouldn't that be amazing?

00:27:04.140 It would be kind of phenomenal, I think,

00:27:08.020 if Syria became a country we could work with

00:27:12.120 out of what it's been.

00:27:15.140 Now, I feel like it's way too early

00:27:18.820 to be too optimistic about that.

00:27:22.660 But everything we see looks good.

00:27:25.000 Brett Baer is reporting that

00:27:32.080 President Trump's strategy for the Middle East

00:27:36.660 is instead of talking about it

00:27:39.880 about this big problem area

00:27:41.400 that's full of terror and fighting and stuff.

00:27:45.520 My light just went on again.

00:27:47.340 Hold on.

00:27:47.740 So Trump's reframe of the Middle East,

00:28:04.560 you could call it a strategy,

00:28:06.680 is to think of it as a commerce zone.

00:28:11.500 So to make everybody think about money.

00:28:13.880 So instead of thinking about war,

00:28:17.960 how about thinking about making some money?

00:28:20.300 And part of that is he's going there

00:28:22.360 and making these gigantic deals.

00:28:25.460 Some of them are about the Middle East,

00:28:27.320 but a lot of them are about investing in the U.S.

00:28:29.920 And just getting everybody financially entangled

00:28:33.860 such that war just stops making sense.

00:28:37.700 It makes more sense to, you know,

00:28:39.680 just build up your money.

00:28:41.480 I think that makes a ton of sense.

00:28:46.080 And it also is compatible with his,

00:28:49.360 what I would say is Trump's strategy on Iran.

00:28:53.280 So Trump has been adamant about not being a sucker

00:28:57.500 and not being drawn into a war with Iran.

00:29:01.140 But what are you going to do

00:29:02.440 if they insist on building their nuclear facilities

00:29:07.120 to the point where they can make a bomb in 10 minutes?

00:29:09.840 Well, it appears that Trump's approach,

00:29:14.380 and it's too early to know for sure

00:29:16.000 because he hasn't taken violence off the table,

00:29:20.000 but I would say that it would be so non-Trump

00:29:24.840 to just attack Iran.

00:29:27.820 Because there's no way that's going to go great,

00:29:30.540 either for Iran or the Middle East or anybody else.

00:29:33.860 It would just be, you know, another debacle.

00:29:36.580 And I think Trump doesn't want that on his permanent record.

00:29:40.440 Neither do we.

00:29:41.880 So it looks like he's going to threaten Iran

00:29:44.640 with complete economic destruction,

00:29:47.360 which is, again, compatible

00:29:49.820 with his reframing of the Middle East

00:29:52.700 as an economic zone

00:29:54.200 that everybody should be paying attention to.

00:29:57.140 Because he thinks the Middle East is growing like crazy, too.

00:30:00.240 It's a fast...

00:30:00.900 I think they've got a, you know,

00:30:02.900 fast population growth

00:30:05.240 as well as economic growth.

00:30:08.480 And it made me wonder,

00:30:10.040 what exactly can you do to Iran

00:30:11.840 that you haven't already done?

00:30:13.960 And I guess the main thing is

00:30:15.680 Iran is still shipping oil.

00:30:18.500 And, you know, of course,

00:30:21.420 they're doing it sort of under the,

00:30:23.440 you know, under the,

00:30:25.000 under the what?

00:30:26.500 Under the curtain

00:30:27.340 or somewhat surreptitiously.

00:30:31.400 But it's not like we can't figure out

00:30:33.380 which ships are full of oil.

00:30:35.180 I mean, we could watch them from above.

00:30:37.940 So maybe all he's going to do

00:30:40.980 is threaten them

00:30:41.760 with complete economic collapse,

00:30:44.140 which I think he could deliver.

00:30:46.080 I think he could deliver that.

00:30:48.320 It would probably take about six months.

00:30:50.760 And that might be enough.

00:30:54.060 But what I'm sure of

00:30:55.700 is simply mindlessly attacking them militarily

00:31:01.300 just doesn't feel like a good idea.

00:31:05.580 I was worried, though,

00:31:07.020 that there wasn't any other idea.

00:31:09.000 Because I was under the impression

00:31:10.580 that the sanctions

00:31:12.160 that we already have on Iran,

00:31:14.240 you know,

00:31:14.960 must have been pretty brutal.

00:31:16.640 And if that wasn't making a difference.

00:31:19.080 But apparently brutal,

00:31:20.880 we haven't gotten to.

00:31:22.800 So brutal sanctions

00:31:24.280 are a whole other level.

00:31:26.940 And apparently Trump

00:31:28.300 is willing to go to that level

00:31:29.740 to avoid a physical war

00:31:32.280 and to get Iran on its side.

00:31:35.860 But I also like the fact

00:31:37.160 that as the Middle East

00:31:40.240 is embracing Trump like crazy,

00:31:42.800 I mean,

00:31:43.300 they're really treating him

00:31:44.280 like a superstar,

00:31:45.800 at least the Saudis

00:31:47.060 and the Qataris.

00:31:50.580 If he pulls together

00:31:52.180 a yet more impressive

00:31:55.020 Abraham Accord,

00:31:56.940 where essentially everybody

00:31:58.540 but Iran is on the same team

00:32:00.180 and they're all working together

00:32:01.900 almost like a European Union,

00:32:04.720 it's going to be harder

00:32:06.620 and harder for Iran

00:32:07.620 to have any bad intentions.

00:32:11.220 They're just going to want to,

00:32:12.600 they're going to want to have to

00:32:14.420 play along,

00:32:15.420 I think,

00:32:15.780 at some point.

00:32:17.380 So everything about this

00:32:19.040 seems like it's heading

00:32:19.880 in the right direction.

00:32:20.880 But of course,

00:32:21.440 it's a very unpredictable area,

00:32:23.000 so you never know.

00:32:24.360 So I guess Trump

00:32:25.140 is in Qatar already.

00:32:28.020 He's already headed there

00:32:29.040 and Qatar is putting out

00:32:30.700 the red carpet

00:32:31.460 very much like the Saudis.

00:32:34.100 You know,

00:32:34.300 they had the horses

00:32:35.720 and the jets

00:32:37.400 were accompanying

00:32:38.220 Air Force One in.

00:32:39.720 And they're going

00:32:41.340 all the way.

00:32:43.740 But I'm now going

00:32:45.160 to change my opinion

00:32:46.360 about the gift

00:32:48.340 of the Qatari airplane

00:32:50.340 that Trump

00:32:52.480 said he would accept

00:32:54.540 that would be

00:32:56.320 the new Air Force One

00:32:57.520 or at least

00:32:58.500 one of the two

00:32:59.220 Air Force Ones.

00:33:01.000 My first thought

00:33:02.460 was I don't like

00:33:04.300 anything about it

00:33:05.420 because it's,

00:33:07.340 it looks like

00:33:08.220 it's going to influence him.

00:33:10.620 And anything

00:33:11.940 that even indirectly

00:33:13.460 influences the president

00:33:14.940 while he's got to negotiate

00:33:16.560 with these same countries

00:33:17.740 just feels like a bad idea.

00:33:20.500 And then there's

00:33:21.320 the look of it.

00:33:22.980 So it would be

00:33:24.040 an easy attack vector

00:33:25.660 for his enemies.

00:33:27.840 Oh, you just love

00:33:28.840 the dictators

00:33:29.500 and whatever.

00:33:31.240 You're just doing it

00:33:32.300 for your own benefit,

00:33:33.500 whatever.

00:33:33.800 And then it didn't

00:33:35.680 really make sense

00:33:36.460 to me

00:33:36.940 because

00:33:38.140 if the

00:33:39.820 real thing

00:33:41.740 that takes time

00:33:42.780 is taking

00:33:44.140 an ordinary jet

00:33:45.520 and turning it

00:33:47.200 into Air Force One,

00:33:48.960 my understanding

00:33:50.080 is that Boeing

00:33:50.900 already has

00:33:51.680 the frames.

00:33:53.200 You know,

00:33:53.860 the hard part?

00:33:54.880 The hard part's over.

00:33:56.720 Well, no.

00:33:57.620 The easy part's over,

00:33:59.120 which is building

00:33:59.860 sort of a generic airplane.

00:34:01.200 The reason we don't have

00:34:03.080 Air Force One

00:34:04.060 for another 7 to 10 years

00:34:05.620 is that's how long

00:34:07.220 it would take

00:34:07.920 to build it down

00:34:10.000 so it's an Air Force One

00:34:11.260 because it has all these,

00:34:13.020 you know,

00:34:13.860 defensive things

00:34:14.920 that you've never heard of

00:34:16.260 and it's got

00:34:17.460 basically every part of it

00:34:19.620 is different

00:34:20.100 from a normal plane

00:34:21.240 when you get to the inside.

00:34:23.440 So wouldn't that be

00:34:24.920 exactly the same

00:34:25.920 for the Qatari plane?

00:34:28.140 The Qatari plane

00:34:29.480 wouldn't be done

00:34:30.520 until Trump left office.

00:34:33.260 There's not even

00:34:34.080 the slightest chance

00:34:35.280 that it would be done

00:34:36.760 before he leaves office.

00:34:38.520 So,

00:34:39.180 my initial response

00:34:41.480 had been

00:34:41.880 I'm uncomfortable

00:34:42.900 with this Qatari plane thing.

00:34:45.580 I was, you know,

00:34:46.360 still reserving

00:34:47.700 a little bit of judgment

00:34:48.680 but then every time

00:34:50.500 I heard Trump talk about it

00:34:52.020 he kept changing my mind.

00:34:55.720 I don't know

00:34:56.440 if any of you

00:34:56.920 had this experience

00:34:57.940 but when I just

00:35:00.220 read about it

00:35:00.860 as a news report

00:35:01.900 I think,

00:35:03.180 oh, this is a terrible idea.

00:35:04.660 No, don't take that plane.

00:35:06.180 Don't take that.

00:35:06.660 No, bad idea.

00:35:07.700 Bad idea.

00:35:08.600 And then I'd see

00:35:09.480 a clip of Trump saying,

00:35:11.280 well, you'd have to be

00:35:11.920 an idiot

00:35:12.300 not to take a free airplane.

00:35:14.300 And then I go,

00:35:16.180 okay,

00:35:17.900 well, that's

00:35:18.480 pretty persuasive.

00:35:19.840 why wouldn't you

00:35:22.460 take a free airplane?

00:35:23.900 And then he says,

00:35:24.720 it's a reward

00:35:25.960 for us doing a good job.

00:35:27.680 And I'm like,

00:35:28.360 damn it.

00:35:29.280 Stop it.

00:35:30.720 Stop it.

00:35:32.200 Stop convincing me

00:35:33.500 it's a good idea

00:35:34.320 to take this airplane.

00:35:37.240 So, here's my current view.

00:35:40.060 And it's not that

00:35:41.100 it's a good idea

00:35:41.880 to take the airplane.

00:35:43.700 And it's not that

00:35:44.860 it's a bad idea

00:35:45.720 to take the airplane.

00:35:47.060 I was in the wrong frame.

00:35:48.500 So, I changed my frame.

00:35:52.400 He is there

00:35:53.080 to persuade.

00:35:54.860 Right?

00:35:55.860 He's persuading them

00:35:57.100 to make deals.

00:35:58.100 He's a salesman.

00:35:59.520 He wants to reframe

00:36:00.580 the whole area.

00:36:01.720 This is a persuasion trip.

00:36:04.780 If you allow yourself

00:36:06.340 to move away

00:36:07.080 from the commerce

00:36:08.240 and the gift

00:36:09.840 and sort of

00:36:11.340 the surfacy story,

00:36:13.360 let's get down

00:36:13.980 to persuasion.

00:36:17.140 If the

00:36:18.020 if the

00:36:18.980 royal family

00:36:20.340 of Qatar

00:36:21.120 offers you

00:36:22.240 a very valuable

00:36:23.640 gift

00:36:25.240 before you

00:36:27.660 negotiate

00:36:28.400 with them,

00:36:29.560 should you say

00:36:30.760 yes or no?

00:36:33.280 You should say yes

00:36:34.820 because you want

00:36:36.840 to show them

00:36:37.380 the respect

00:36:38.180 that the gift

00:36:39.960 requires.

00:36:41.760 Now,

00:36:42.480 I think Trump

00:36:43.480 knows

00:36:44.040 that other people

00:36:45.500 can kill this deal

00:36:46.780 such as Congress

00:36:48.640 such as

00:36:50.160 public opinion

00:36:51.040 such as

00:36:52.880 it's so politically

00:36:53.800 bad that you

00:36:54.700 can't do it.

00:36:55.940 Trump can be

00:36:57.020 the good cop here.

00:36:58.760 I think he's just

00:36:59.940 showing complete

00:37:00.880 respect

00:37:01.440 to Qatar

00:37:02.540 because he's

00:37:03.880 going into

00:37:04.600 some difficult

00:37:05.500 negotiations

00:37:06.340 which are going

00:37:07.560 to get into

00:37:08.040 some hard stuff

00:37:09.080 like what the fuck

00:37:10.600 are you doing

00:37:11.140 with Hamas

00:37:11.980 and he doesn't

00:37:14.320 want to start

00:37:14.900 that with

00:37:15.620 you know

00:37:17.360 essentially being

00:37:18.760 rude and

00:37:19.420 turning down

00:37:19.960 the gift

00:37:20.360 that seems

00:37:21.260 to make sense

00:37:21.960 on the surface

00:37:22.740 to him.

00:37:24.360 So,

00:37:25.200 I'm looking

00:37:26.500 at this

00:37:27.040 as exactly

00:37:28.060 correct

00:37:28.880 persuasion

00:37:29.740 which is

00:37:31.360 first you say

00:37:32.180 yes

00:37:32.620 then you say

00:37:33.900 the Qataris

00:37:34.780 are awesome

00:37:35.460 for even

00:37:36.700 offering it

00:37:37.300 in the first

00:37:37.680 place

00:37:38.060 and you say

00:37:39.300 you're all in

00:37:40.020 and anybody

00:37:40.800 who says

00:37:41.280 this is a bad

00:37:42.020 idea

00:37:42.400 is just wrong

00:37:43.140 why wouldn't

00:37:43.700 you take

00:37:44.080 a free gift

00:37:44.800 from these

00:37:45.360 awesome

00:37:45.780 Qataris

00:37:46.520 who are

00:37:47.360 our good

00:37:47.700 friends?

00:37:49.420 Now,

00:37:50.040 are they

00:37:50.500 our good

00:37:50.920 friends?

00:37:51.800 Well,

00:37:53.080 some would

00:37:54.000 say

00:37:54.400 that they're

00:37:55.920 playing both

00:37:56.540 sides of the

00:37:57.180 street

00:37:57.540 sometimes

00:37:58.340 they're our

00:37:58.920 friends

00:37:59.320 sometimes

00:38:00.220 they seem

00:38:00.820 to be

00:38:01.240 supporting

00:38:01.840 Hamas

00:38:02.480 I don't

00:38:03.880 know the

00:38:04.240 truth of

00:38:04.820 either of

00:38:06.200 those things

00:38:06.700 but I do

00:38:08.760 know that

00:38:09.200 turning down

00:38:09.860 that gift

00:38:10.500 would have

00:38:11.720 looked like

00:38:12.200 a persuasion

00:38:13.080 mistake

00:38:13.720 and if you

00:38:14.860 stay in the

00:38:15.440 persuasion

00:38:16.100 frame

00:38:16.540 which is

00:38:16.960 the right

00:38:17.300 frame

00:38:17.680 for the

00:38:18.800 entire

00:38:19.140 trip

00:38:19.500 he played

00:38:20.720 it right

00:38:21.180 now

00:38:22.860 do I want

00:38:23.960 Congress

00:38:24.860 to figure out

00:38:25.800 a way

00:38:26.140 to deny

00:38:26.820 him the

00:38:27.240 plane?

00:38:27.880 Yes,

00:38:28.120 I do

00:38:28.460 I want

00:38:29.600 Congress

00:38:30.020 to deny

00:38:30.680 it

00:38:30.940 I do not

00:38:31.580 want that

00:38:31.980 plane

00:38:32.340 and I think

00:38:33.500 the plane

00:38:33.940 would be a

00:38:34.460 huge mistake

00:38:35.280 and I think

00:38:36.380 on some

00:38:36.860 level

00:38:37.240 Trump

00:38:38.060 probably

00:38:38.420 knows it

00:38:38.960 he probably

00:38:40.040 knows it

00:38:40.620 but he's

00:38:42.480 playing it

00:38:42.920 right

00:38:43.180 when I

00:38:44.680 found out

00:38:45.100 my friend

00:38:45.580 got a

00:38:45.920 great deal

00:38:46.540 on a

00:38:46.880 wool coat

00:38:47.300 from Winners

00:38:47.860 I started

00:38:48.900 wondering

00:38:49.340 is every

00:38:50.640 fabulous item

00:38:51.420 I see

00:38:51.840 from Winners

00:38:52.520 like that

00:38:53.420 woman over

00:38:53.920 there with

00:38:54.380 the designer

00:38:54.820 jeans

00:38:55.340 are those

00:38:56.240 from Winners

00:38:56.860 or those

00:38:58.120 beautiful gold

00:38:58.760 earrings

00:38:59.420 did she

00:38:59.900 pay full

00:39:00.220 price

00:39:00.700 or that

00:39:01.240 leather tote

00:39:01.800 or that

00:39:02.240 cashmere

00:39:02.600 sweater

00:39:02.900 or those

00:39:03.520 knee-high

00:39:03.820 boots

00:39:04.380 that dress

00:39:05.300 that jacket

00:39:06.000 those shoes

00:39:06.960 is anyone

00:39:07.940 paying full

00:39:08.560 price for

00:39:09.120 anything

00:39:09.660 stop

00:39:10.560 wondering

00:39:11.040 start

00:39:11.620 winning

00:39:11.980 winners

00:39:12.620 find

00:39:13.120 fabulous

00:39:13.560 for less

00:39:14.300 all right

00:39:16.820 apparently

00:39:18.200 Putin

00:39:18.820 has now

00:39:20.440 said he

00:39:20.840 wants Trump

00:39:21.540 to join

00:39:23.040 him and

00:39:24.020 Zelensky

00:39:24.540 in Turkey

00:39:25.160 to talk

00:39:25.740 about the

00:39:26.300 potential

00:39:27.440 end to

00:39:28.040 that war

00:39:28.560 and Caitlin

00:39:30.220 Collins is

00:39:30.880 reporting for

00:39:31.480 CNN

00:39:31.820 that Trump

00:39:33.540 says that

00:39:34.300 he hasn't

00:39:35.840 decided to

00:39:36.440 go there

00:39:36.900 but he

00:39:38.100 said quote

00:39:38.800 about Putin

00:39:40.200 he would

00:39:41.460 like me to

00:39:42.060 be there

00:39:42.420 that's a

00:39:42.880 possibility

00:39:43.420 that doesn't

00:39:44.460 mean I

00:39:44.820 wouldn't do

00:39:45.340 it to

00:39:46.260 save a lot

00:39:46.840 of lives

00:39:47.480 and come

00:39:47.960 back

00:39:48.360 I don't

00:39:49.160 know that

00:39:49.540 he would

00:39:49.880 be there

00:39:50.280 if I'm

00:39:50.720 not there

00:39:51.200 so

00:39:52.940 do you

00:39:54.120 remember

00:39:54.480 when the

00:39:55.660 Democrats

00:39:56.080 told us

00:39:56.820 that

00:39:57.220 Trump

00:39:58.480 was being

00:39:59.400 considered

00:40:00.040 like the

00:40:01.200 laughing stock

00:40:02.100 of the

00:40:02.640 international

00:40:03.200 community

00:40:03.900 does anybody

00:40:06.260 remember that

00:40:07.120 and then

00:40:08.200 Keir Starmer

00:40:09.740 comes over

00:40:10.440 and he's

00:40:11.240 like Trump's

00:40:12.200 best friend

00:40:12.780 and then he

00:40:14.360 goes to the

00:40:14.880 Middle East

00:40:15.360 and he's

00:40:15.740 treated like

00:40:16.340 a god

00:40:17.000 and then

00:40:18.780 Putin says

00:40:19.560 I can't

00:40:19.980 even have

00:40:20.340 this meeting

00:40:20.800 without you

00:40:21.440 where's the

00:40:24.260 part where

00:40:24.820 where we've

00:40:26.580 lost all of

00:40:27.300 our respect

00:40:27.980 in the

00:40:28.320 world

00:40:28.620 and then

00:40:30.360 and then

00:40:30.880 China says

00:40:31.660 all right

00:40:32.440 let's do

00:40:32.820 a deal

00:40:33.200 where's all

00:40:36.240 the part

00:40:36.600 where where

00:40:37.740 Trump is

00:40:38.940 embarrassing

00:40:39.660 the United

00:40:40.240 States

00:40:40.760 does anybody

00:40:42.800 see any

00:40:43.340 of that

00:40:43.740 that was

00:40:45.140 all bullshit

00:40:45.960 as I've

00:40:47.800 told you

00:40:48.340 many times

00:40:49.020 the world

00:40:49.500 is a

00:40:49.860 transactional

00:40:50.740 place

00:40:51.300 they don't

00:40:52.360 care about

00:40:53.000 how much

00:40:54.120 respect they

00:40:54.880 have for

00:40:55.400 somebody

00:40:55.800 they care

00:40:56.580 about what

00:40:57.220 can you do

00:40:57.740 for me

00:40:58.200 and they're

00:40:59.160 watching Trump

00:40:59.960 be a man

00:41:00.600 of action

00:41:01.120 a man who

00:41:02.360 can make

00:41:02.800 things happen

00:41:03.520 and they're

00:41:04.420 thinking well

00:41:05.640 could he make

00:41:06.780 things happen

00:41:07.380 for us

00:41:08.040 because we

00:41:09.200 need some

00:41:09.680 things like

00:41:11.380 the end of

00:41:11.900 the war

00:41:12.440 like the

00:41:12.980 Abraham Accords

00:41:13.920 like getting

00:41:15.300 along like

00:41:16.140 getting rid of

00:41:16.640 the terrorists

00:41:17.320 they're things

00:41:18.580 we need

00:41:19.100 and Trump

00:41:20.280 is a man

00:41:20.900 of action

00:41:21.380 and he

00:41:21.840 apparently

00:41:22.220 can make

00:41:23.480 stuff happen

00:41:24.240 things

00:41:25.300 that America

00:41:26.400 needs

00:41:26.880 and things

00:41:27.480 that we

00:41:27.760 need too

00:41:28.300 so they're

00:41:30.500 treating him

00:41:31.180 like the

00:41:32.340 most important

00:41:32.980 person in the

00:41:33.640 world

00:41:33.880 because

00:41:34.420 he's the

00:41:35.740 most important

00:41:36.280 person in the

00:41:36.900 world

00:41:37.180 so I don't

00:41:40.880 know what the

00:41:41.240 odds are that

00:41:42.020 the Ukrainian

00:41:42.680 thing will

00:41:43.200 work out

00:41:43.840 you know

00:41:45.720 it's hard to

00:41:46.140 be optimistic

00:41:46.800 about it

00:41:47.480 but

00:41:48.100 maybe

00:41:49.380 I mean

00:41:50.500 maybe

00:41:52.680 so the

00:41:54.240 fact that

00:41:55.040 that the

00:41:56.640 international

00:41:57.280 community is

00:41:58.120 basically

00:41:58.500 fighting over

00:41:59.480 his time

00:42:00.180 because I

00:42:01.100 think he

00:42:01.380 was going

00:42:01.680 to go to

00:42:02.000 the UAE

00:42:02.780 or something

00:42:03.280 so it

00:42:03.900 would take

00:42:04.240 away from

00:42:04.700 some of

00:42:05.040 their time

00:42:05.460 so I

00:42:08.140 don't know

00:42:08.360 what he's

00:42:08.640 going to

00:42:08.860 do

00:42:09.160 but I

00:42:10.420 guess

00:42:10.580 Marco

00:42:10.980 Rubio

00:42:11.520 at the

00:42:11.880 very least

00:42:12.340 Marco

00:42:12.760 Rubio

00:42:13.240 is going

00:42:13.660 to the

00:42:14.100 Turkey

00:42:15.300 meeting

00:42:15.740 with

00:42:16.580 Russia

00:42:17.640 so we'll

00:42:19.060 see what

00:42:19.340 comes

00:42:19.540 to that

00:42:19.820 there's a

00:42:22.600 report in

00:42:23.000 the New York

00:42:23.340 Times that

00:42:23.840 a small

00:42:24.400 company with

00:42:25.180 ties to

00:42:25.820 China

00:42:26.280 wants to

00:42:28.200 buy 300

00:42:28.900 million dollars

00:42:29.720 worth of

00:42:30.240 Trump's

00:42:30.620 meme coins

00:42:31.480 his

00:42:31.960 crypto

00:42:32.740 now

00:42:34.640 this

00:42:35.440 small

00:42:36.420 company

00:42:36.900 with

00:42:37.160 ties to

00:42:37.640 China

00:42:37.940 has never

00:42:38.880 made any

00:42:39.440 money

00:42:39.820 but somehow

00:42:41.100 they mysteriously

00:42:42.180 have 300

00:42:42.960 million dollars

00:42:43.840 from some

00:42:44.980 kind of

00:42:45.280 stock

00:42:45.580 transaction

00:42:46.240 and of

00:42:47.180 all the

00:42:47.640 things in

00:42:48.140 the world

00:42:48.500 that they

00:42:48.880 could put

00:42:49.220 their 300

00:42:49.740 million dollars

00:42:50.520 into

00:42:50.820 they've

00:42:51.580 decided that

00:42:52.360 their best

00:42:52.880 play is a

00:42:53.620 Trump

00:42:53.900 meme coin

00:42:54.680 does anything

00:42:58.960 sound sketchy

00:43:00.820 about that

00:43:01.400 everything

00:43:02.480 everything about

00:43:04.800 that sounds

00:43:05.380 sketchy

00:43:05.920 I'm going to

00:43:06.720 wait for

00:43:07.020 David Sachs

00:43:07.980 to weigh in

00:43:08.620 here's what

00:43:10.840 I don't

00:43:11.300 expect

00:43:11.860 oh that's

00:43:12.900 a good idea

00:43:13.560 let's take

00:43:14.280 that money

00:43:14.740 from that

00:43:15.300 small

00:43:17.520 company

00:43:18.060 with ties

00:43:18.560 to China

00:43:19.080 that

00:43:19.400 miraculously

00:43:20.540 has 300

00:43:21.260 million dollars

00:43:22.060 and nothing

00:43:22.520 better to

00:43:23.000 spend it on

00:43:23.540 than meme

00:43:23.960 coins

00:43:24.440 let me say

00:43:27.100 as clearly

00:43:27.840 as possible

00:43:28.680 because I

00:43:29.420 know this

00:43:29.800 is going

00:43:30.140 to come

00:43:30.480 up

00:43:30.740 I am

00:43:32.120 never

00:43:32.500 going to

00:43:33.120 say

00:43:33.500 that Trump's

00:43:35.420 crypto

00:43:35.940 plays

00:43:36.560 that are

00:43:37.520 things that

00:43:38.200 are good

00:43:38.540 for Trump

00:43:39.280 and the

00:43:39.520 Trump family

00:43:39.920 I will

00:43:40.520 never be

00:43:41.040 in favor

00:43:41.440 of that

00:43:41.840 I will

00:43:44.320 never

00:43:44.800 back him

00:43:46.060 on any

00:43:46.740 crypto

00:43:47.140 stuff

00:43:47.620 if the

00:43:48.760 Democrats

00:43:49.220 say oh

00:43:49.980 this is

00:43:50.440 terrible

00:43:50.820 I'm going

00:43:51.380 to say

00:43:51.660 well

00:43:51.980 there's an

00:43:54.260 opinion

00:43:54.560 if anybody

00:43:56.700 wants to

00:43:57.180 say

00:43:57.480 but Scott

00:43:58.400 is it

00:43:59.300 some kind

00:43:59.720 of 4D

00:44:00.540 chess

00:44:01.180 nope

00:44:01.820 nope

00:44:03.060 I don't

00:44:03.380 see any

00:44:03.760 4D

00:44:04.200 chess

00:44:04.560 it looks

00:44:05.960 like it's

00:44:06.580 stuff that

00:44:07.260 was designed

00:44:07.900 to be

00:44:08.320 good for

00:44:08.820 Trump

00:44:09.140 and I'm

00:44:10.960 not going

00:44:11.280 to defend

00:44:11.740 it even

00:44:12.500 one second

00:44:13.500 so I'm

00:44:14.980 completely

00:44:15.480 not in

00:44:15.980 favor of

00:44:16.500 any of

00:44:16.820 the weird

00:44:17.860 crypto

00:44:18.340 stuff

00:44:18.760 but I

00:44:19.080 also don't

00:44:19.560 understand

00:44:20.080 it completely

00:44:20.720 I don't

00:44:22.100 believe

00:44:22.500 if I did

00:44:23.800 understand

00:44:24.360 it completely

00:44:25.060 it would

00:44:25.940 change my

00:44:26.480 mind one

00:44:27.020 bit

00:44:27.300 so don't

00:44:29.000 look to

00:44:29.340 me to

00:44:30.180 defend him

00:44:30.760 on the

00:44:31.160 crypto

00:44:31.480 stuff

00:44:32.000 you know

00:44:34.260 the only

00:44:34.900 thing I

00:44:35.340 can say

00:44:35.820 is that

00:44:36.360 it's

00:44:36.520 transparent

00:44:37.120 that doesn't

00:44:39.460 give you

00:44:39.760 much

00:44:40.140 it's

00:44:42.000 it just

00:44:42.940 looks

00:44:43.240 sketchy

00:44:43.760 as all

00:44:44.060 hell

00:44:44.300 to me

00:44:44.720 but

00:44:45.760 it seems

00:44:48.000 to be

00:44:48.280 legal as

00:44:48.880 far as

00:44:49.300 I know

00:44:49.800 well

00:44:53.040 how many

00:44:54.620 times have

00:44:55.140 I told

00:44:55.480 you that

00:44:56.060 when people

00:44:57.000 argue with

00:44:57.980 analogies

00:44:58.980 it's because

00:45:00.040 they don't

00:45:00.500 have an

00:45:00.840 argument

00:45:01.200 you've heard

00:45:02.840 me say

00:45:03.200 that a

00:45:03.540 number of

00:45:03.860 times

00:45:04.100 right

00:45:04.340 here's a

00:45:05.120 good example

00:45:05.680 I think

00:45:06.580 it was

00:45:06.800 on the

00:45:07.140 five

00:45:07.680 that the

00:45:09.320 whoever

00:45:10.740 the

00:45:11.400 democrat

00:45:13.140 person

00:45:14.260 was

00:45:14.560 was

00:45:14.760 sitting

00:45:15.040 in

00:45:15.260 that

00:45:15.460 day

00:45:15.700 was

00:45:16.540 making

00:45:16.920 an

00:45:17.400 analogy

00:45:17.920 between

00:45:19.440 Trump

00:45:20.560 doing

00:45:21.380 business

00:45:21.900 in the

00:45:22.200 Middle

00:45:22.380 East

00:45:22.700 and

00:45:23.520 doing

00:45:24.060 licensing

00:45:24.620 deals

00:45:25.120 where

00:45:25.420 the

00:45:25.640 Trump

00:45:25.920 name

00:45:26.240 was

00:45:26.460 put

00:45:26.700 on

00:45:26.960 hotels

00:45:28.260 and

00:45:30.120 the

00:45:32.600 argument

00:45:33.020 was

00:45:33.500 well

00:45:34.540 you know

00:45:35.200 how's

00:45:35.500 that

00:45:35.620 different

00:45:35.920 than

00:45:36.160 the

00:45:36.380 Biden

00:45:36.800 crime

00:45:37.240 family

00:45:37.680 if

00:45:38.400 you

00:45:38.520 thought

00:45:38.720 the

00:45:38.900 Biden

00:45:39.180 crime

00:45:39.600 family

00:45:40.020 was

00:45:40.260 bad

00:45:40.640 why

00:45:41.420 don't

00:45:41.680 you

00:45:41.980 yeah

00:45:42.640 it was

00:45:42.940 Maria

00:45:43.700 what's

00:45:45.620 her last

00:45:45.940 name

00:45:46.240 was it

00:45:49.360 Harf

00:45:50.040 you'll

00:45:52.040 give me

00:45:52.320 the right

00:45:52.860 name in

00:45:53.220 the comments

00:45:53.740 in a minute

00:45:54.180 but

00:45:55.060 you know

00:45:55.920 if you

00:45:56.300 weren't

00:45:56.520 complaining

00:45:56.940 if you

00:45:57.500 were

00:45:57.660 complaining

00:45:58.100 about

00:45:58.420 the

00:45:58.720 Biden

00:45:59.120 crime

00:45:59.480 family

00:45:59.900 why

00:46:00.640 wouldn't

00:46:00.900 you

00:46:01.080 complain

00:46:01.500 about

00:46:01.940 Trump

00:46:02.600 you know

00:46:03.240 benefiting

00:46:03.640 from

00:46:04.060 his

00:46:04.300 time

00:46:04.560 in

00:46:04.720 office

00:46:05.080 so

00:46:06.840 Harf

00:46:07.480 yeah

00:46:08.100 Maria

00:46:08.480 Harf

00:46:08.900 I guess

00:46:09.340 was

00:46:10.820 the

00:46:11.060 person

00:46:11.460 on

00:46:11.640 the

00:46:11.740 five

00:46:11.980 and

00:46:13.040 of

00:46:15.460 course

00:46:15.780 you know

00:46:16.280 Greg

00:46:16.580 Gottfeld

00:46:17.000 jumped

00:46:17.640 all over

00:46:18.180 it

00:46:18.400 they didn't

00:46:19.220 have quite

00:46:19.680 enough

00:46:19.960 time

00:46:20.260 for him

00:46:20.660 to

00:46:20.900 completely

00:46:21.480 destroy

00:46:22.060 her

00:46:22.320 but

00:46:22.640 the

00:46:22.900 that

00:46:24.480 is

00:46:24.660 the

00:46:24.860 worst

00:46:25.160 analogy

00:46:25.760 I've

00:46:26.120 ever

00:46:26.280 seen

00:46:26.600 in

00:46:26.740 my

00:46:26.900 life

00:46:27.380 how

00:46:29.300 do

00:46:29.460 you

00:46:29.640 compare

00:46:30.200 Hunter

00:46:31.460 Biden

00:46:31.860 taking

00:46:32.300 a

00:46:32.560 diamond

00:46:32.920 from

00:46:33.520 the

00:46:33.880 Chinese

00:46:35.160 spy

00:46:35.680 chief

00:46:36.140 that

00:46:38.440 nobody

00:46:38.800 knew

00:46:39.100 about

00:46:39.540 you know

00:46:39.940 totally

00:46:40.240 secret

00:46:40.820 while

00:46:41.560 he's

00:46:41.780 working

00:46:42.080 all

00:46:42.320 these

00:46:42.560 deals

00:46:43.060 and

00:46:43.360 violating

00:46:43.840 far

00:46:44.300 you know

00:46:45.520 violating

00:46:46.160 the law

00:46:46.700 far

00:46:47.080 and is

00:46:48.400 you know

00:46:49.040 clearly

00:46:49.600 just

00:46:50.000 making

00:46:50.500 money

00:46:50.920 and

00:46:51.220 putting

00:46:51.980 it

00:46:52.180 into

00:46:52.380 secret

00:46:52.820 accounts

00:46:53.420 and

00:46:53.600 having

00:46:53.820 all

00:46:54.000 these

00:46:54.180 secret

00:46:54.500 accounts

00:46:54.920 how

00:46:55.440 do

00:46:55.540 you

00:46:55.680 compare

00:46:55.980 that

00:46:56.280 to

00:46:56.520 a

00:46:56.760 fully

00:46:57.040 transparent

00:46:57.800 business

00:46:58.940 as usual

00:46:59.900 deal

00:47:00.400 where

00:47:01.280 Trump's

00:47:01.720 name

00:47:02.040 is

00:47:02.220 on

00:47:02.400 the

00:47:02.540 tower

00:47:02.920 like

00:47:03.920 this

00:47:04.140 gigantic

00:47:04.680 Trump

00:47:05.240 name

00:47:05.740 so

00:47:07.680 nobody's

00:47:08.200 hiding

00:47:08.420 anything

00:47:08.960 now

00:47:10.840 I'm

00:47:12.020 also

00:47:12.460 uncomfortable

00:47:13.140 with

00:47:14.840 the

00:47:15.260 Trump

00:47:15.860 business

00:47:16.460 you know

00:47:16.980 benefiting

00:47:17.960 from the

00:47:18.540 fact that

00:47:19.160 Trump

00:47:20.160 may have

00:47:20.580 some

00:47:20.940 good

00:47:22.460 feelings

00:47:22.940 in other

00:47:23.340 countries

00:47:23.800 so they

00:47:24.200 want to

00:47:24.440 put his

00:47:24.740 name

00:47:24.940 on

00:47:25.120 buildings

00:47:25.540 it's

00:47:26.320 not the

00:47:26.700 greatest

00:47:27.020 thing

00:47:27.520 for

00:47:28.060 the

00:47:28.220 country

00:47:28.600 but you

00:47:29.780 can't

00:47:30.140 compare

00:47:30.420 it to

00:47:30.680 something

00:47:30.960 that is

00:47:31.360 just

00:47:31.580 flat

00:47:32.180 out

00:47:32.400 illegal

00:47:32.860 something

00:47:34.320 that's

00:47:34.740 completely

00:47:35.320 legal

00:47:36.120 and

00:47:37.300 completely

00:47:37.980 transparent

00:47:38.800 nobody's

00:47:40.280 hiding

00:47:40.520 anything

00:47:40.960 it's

00:47:41.980 business

00:47:42.520 as usual

00:47:43.140 for the

00:47:43.540 Trump

00:47:43.780 business

00:47:44.860 to

00:47:45.860 license

00:47:46.380 their

00:47:46.600 name

00:47:46.960 to

00:47:47.560 appropriate

00:47:48.080 projects

00:47:48.720 so

00:47:51.080 remember

00:47:54.460 every time

00:47:55.060 you see

00:47:55.440 an

00:47:55.620 analogy

00:47:56.100 as an

00:47:56.560 argument

00:47:56.920 the

00:47:58.620 reason

00:47:59.040 people

00:47:59.440 use

00:47:59.780 analogies

00:48:00.580 for an

00:48:01.760 argument

00:48:02.160 is because

00:48:03.840 they don't

00:48:04.180 have an

00:48:04.600 argument

00:48:04.940 if they

00:48:06.140 had an

00:48:06.440 argument

00:48:06.800 they would

00:48:07.180 say

00:48:07.420 well what

00:48:08.440 he's doing

00:48:08.960 is illegal

00:48:09.640 oh

00:48:10.400 okay

00:48:11.020 well that's

00:48:12.080 an argument

00:48:12.560 now that's

00:48:13.840 not the

00:48:14.240 case in

00:48:14.640 this case

00:48:15.140 but if

00:48:16.740 you have

00:48:17.140 to say

00:48:17.680 but what

00:48:18.600 about this

00:48:19.100 analogy

00:48:19.600 to this

00:48:20.160 thing

00:48:20.360 that is

00:48:20.840 illegal

00:48:21.300 you don't

00:48:23.040 have any

00:48:23.460 argument

00:48:23.840 yeah

00:48:24.960 that's in

00:48:25.640 my book

00:48:26.000 loser

00:48:26.320 think

00:48:26.680 you're

00:48:26.920 right

00:48:27.160 well

00:48:30.000 inflation

00:48:30.520 has reached

00:48:31.200 its lowest

00:48:31.760 since

00:48:32.100 2021

00:48:32.860 and I

00:48:35.880 know that

00:48:36.540 the

00:48:37.280 coverage

00:48:37.940 seems to

00:48:38.800 be pretending

00:48:39.500 that the

00:48:41.040 tariff

00:48:42.040 stuff

00:48:43.200 didn't make

00:48:43.740 any difference

00:48:44.400 but there's

00:48:45.560 a timing

00:48:46.060 problem

00:48:46.500 here

00:48:46.800 the

00:48:48.040 whatever

00:48:48.600 is driving

00:48:49.280 the

00:48:49.640 current

00:48:50.120 inflation

00:48:50.680 probably

00:48:51.460 is what

00:48:52.100 has happened

00:48:52.560 recently

00:48:53.120 but not

00:48:54.500 as recently

00:48:55.360 as the

00:48:57.100 tariff

00:48:57.640 stuff

00:48:58.160 so if

00:48:59.760 in fact

00:49:00.340 the

00:49:01.420 disruption

00:49:02.580 from all

00:49:03.200 the tariff

00:49:03.900 threats

00:49:04.420 and negotiations

00:49:05.240 if they

00:49:06.160 have an

00:49:06.520 effect

00:49:06.860 on prices

00:49:07.620 that would

00:49:08.580 still be

00:49:08.940 ahead of

00:49:09.260 us

00:49:09.520 so it

00:49:10.840 would be

00:49:11.300 incorrect

00:49:11.980 in my

00:49:12.820 opinion

00:49:13.160 to say

00:49:14.300 Trump

00:49:14.960 was right

00:49:15.560 that he

00:49:17.020 could do

00:49:17.400 tariffs

00:49:17.880 and at

00:49:18.740 the same

00:49:19.140 time

00:49:19.620 inflation

00:49:20.440 would not

00:49:21.000 go up

00:49:21.520 it might

00:49:22.400 be true

00:49:22.920 it might

00:49:24.280 be true

00:49:24.720 because one

00:49:25.480 of the

00:49:25.660 things I've

00:49:26.120 learned about

00:49:26.580 inflation

00:49:27.080 since my

00:49:28.460 time as an

00:49:29.220 economics

00:49:29.740 major in

00:49:30.460 college

00:49:31.440 was that

00:49:33.360 it seems

00:49:34.200 that nobody

00:49:34.720 understands

00:49:35.340 inflation

00:49:35.860 on one

00:49:37.800 hand it

00:49:38.200 seems obvious

00:49:38.940 if you print

00:49:39.940 more money

00:49:40.440 you have

00:49:40.720 more inflation

00:49:41.320 I got it

00:49:42.460 all right

00:49:42.800 yes got

00:49:43.540 it totally

00:49:44.720 understand that

00:49:45.600 but why

00:49:47.620 can't anybody

00:49:48.300 predict it

00:49:49.040 well why

00:49:51.620 are the

00:49:51.940 experts so

00:49:52.720 bad at

00:49:53.460 predicting

00:49:53.860 inflation

00:49:54.800 and do

00:49:55.620 you remember

00:49:56.000 stagflation

00:49:57.280 I mean that

00:49:59.200 kind of caught

00:49:59.680 people off

00:50:00.280 guard

00:50:00.600 how can

00:50:01.540 you have

00:50:01.840 stagflation

00:50:03.000 then the

00:50:04.420 other thing

00:50:04.820 we don't

00:50:05.220 understand

00:50:05.660 is is it

00:50:06.560 possible that

00:50:07.460 inflation

00:50:08.120 is lower

00:50:09.880 because the

00:50:12.380 economic

00:50:12.940 activity got

00:50:13.980 depressed

00:50:14.580 because when

00:50:16.420 you're not

00:50:16.800 selling much

00:50:17.680 you're not

00:50:19.080 raising prices

00:50:19.820 so is it

00:50:22.400 good news

00:50:23.420 or is it

00:50:25.280 an indication

00:50:26.040 that demand

00:50:29.120 has fallen

00:50:30.340 off

00:50:30.820 I don't

00:50:33.120 trust anything

00:50:34.120 about inflation

00:50:35.000 numbers

00:50:35.580 when everything

00:50:37.200 is roiling

00:50:38.080 the way it

00:50:38.600 is now

00:50:39.020 there are

00:50:39.780 too many

00:50:40.140 variables in

00:50:40.960 play

00:50:41.260 but the only

00:50:42.300 thing I want

00:50:43.140 to warn you

00:50:43.620 about is

00:50:44.300 if you're

00:50:45.420 pairing these

00:50:46.420 two things

00:50:47.120 and saying

00:50:48.240 oh inflation

00:50:49.180 is low

00:50:49.820 at the same

00:50:51.100 time as

00:50:51.800 tariff

00:50:52.960 activity is

00:50:53.960 high

00:50:54.380 therefore

00:50:55.480 the tariff

00:50:56.980 activity has

00:50:57.860 nothing to do

00:50:58.580 with inflation

00:50:59.180 that would be

00:51:00.460 incorrect

00:51:00.920 there's probably

00:51:01.920 just a timing

00:51:02.660 problem or

00:51:03.520 other variables

00:51:24.220 James Carville

00:51:25.600 is still trying

00:51:26.940 to get the

00:51:27.380 Democrats to

00:51:28.100 use the right

00:51:28.680 words and

00:51:29.980 he's added a

00:51:30.600 few words that

00:51:31.520 he thinks are

00:51:32.060 dumb for

00:51:33.220 Democrats to

00:51:34.040 use he

00:51:34.760 says stop

00:51:35.420 using equity

00:51:36.380 and use

00:51:38.080 equality

00:51:38.720 instead

00:51:39.240 stop saying

00:51:41.360 oligarch

00:51:42.120 because nobody

00:51:42.960 knows what it

00:51:43.540 means

00:51:43.920 stop with

00:51:46.080 your

00:51:46.420 communities

00:51:47.800 you know

00:51:49.200 stop having

00:51:49.680 communities

00:51:50.340 like

00:51:51.200 LGBTQ

00:51:52.700 plus

00:51:53.880 he goes

00:51:55.080 how about

00:51:55.700 you know

00:51:56.000 just everybody's

00:51:56.720 people

00:51:57.100 you know

00:51:58.560 stop doing

00:51:59.100 communities

00:51:59.760 and stop

00:52:00.760 doing

00:52:01.020 intersectionality

00:52:02.380 and he

00:52:06.800 said about

00:52:07.600 oligarch

00:52:08.280 he goes

00:52:08.660 this is

00:52:09.420 another really

00:52:10.000 stupid word

00:52:10.720 oligarch

00:52:11.340 who in the

00:52:12.360 F knows

00:52:13.320 what an

00:52:13.700 oligarch

00:52:14.160 is

00:52:14.520 now I

00:52:17.480 would add

00:52:17.960 to

00:52:18.340 James Carville's

00:52:20.140 complaints

00:52:20.640 how many

00:52:22.080 people know

00:52:22.620 what

00:52:22.800 habeas corpus

00:52:23.680 is

00:52:24.180 now habeas corpus

00:52:27.400 gets to due

00:52:28.780 process for

00:52:29.560 somebody who's

00:52:30.160 locked up

00:52:30.720 but I'm going

00:52:31.860 to go even

00:52:32.400 further

00:52:32.820 how many

00:52:34.160 Democrats

00:52:34.740 could define

00:52:35.640 due process

00:52:36.500 most of us

00:52:41.120 are news

00:52:41.820 junkies

00:52:42.380 or you

00:52:42.700 wouldn't be

00:52:43.080 watching this

00:52:43.680 podcast

00:52:44.240 so if you're

00:52:45.700 a news

00:52:46.000 junkie

00:52:46.420 of course

00:52:46.900 you know

00:52:47.160 what due

00:52:47.420 process

00:52:47.740 is

00:52:48.200 of course

00:52:48.880 you do

00:52:49.140 you might

00:52:49.500 even know

00:52:49.920 what habeas

00:52:50.440 corpus

00:52:50.780 is

00:52:51.100 but how

00:52:52.180 many

00:52:52.440 average

00:52:53.220 Democrats

00:52:54.320 could define

00:52:55.360 either of

00:52:55.980 those terms

00:52:56.620 there's

00:52:59.460 something about

00:53:00.020 the Democrats

00:53:00.740 that is so

00:53:02.060 disconnected

00:53:03.020 from what

00:53:05.040 the real

00:53:05.520 world is

00:53:06.320 it's just

00:53:07.640 hilarious

00:53:08.100 but I got a

00:53:10.060 question for

00:53:10.620 you

00:53:10.800 you know

00:53:12.340 sometimes I

00:53:13.020 can't tell

00:53:13.580 my own

00:53:14.500 influence

00:53:15.500 is it my

00:53:18.000 imagination

00:53:18.660 or was I

00:53:20.240 the first

00:53:20.820 person to

00:53:21.480 say that

00:53:22.060 the oligarch

00:53:23.460 term was

00:53:24.440 ridiculous

00:53:24.960 because the

00:53:25.680 Democrats

00:53:26.180 don't know

00:53:26.640 what an

00:53:26.920 oligarch

00:53:27.340 is

00:53:27.660 was I

00:53:29.460 the first

00:53:30.060 because I

00:53:31.340 feel like I

00:53:31.980 was and

00:53:33.080 then it

00:53:33.460 just was

00:53:33.960 everywhere

00:53:34.380 and what I

00:53:35.480 wondered was

00:53:36.200 would that

00:53:37.120 have happened

00:53:37.580 on its

00:53:37.980 own

00:53:38.220 because the

00:53:40.140 oligarch

00:53:40.600 thing was

00:53:41.060 kind of

00:53:41.480 cooking along

00:53:42.260 for a while

00:53:42.840 and nobody

00:53:43.320 was saying

00:53:43.800 anything like

00:53:44.600 we don't

00:53:45.540 know what

00:53:45.800 an oligarch

00:53:46.360 is until

00:53:47.020 I said

00:53:47.480 it

00:53:47.720 and then

00:53:49.000 right after

00:53:49.640 I said

00:53:50.180 it

00:53:50.460 people started

00:53:52.100 saying it

00:53:52.840 was that

00:53:54.480 me

00:53:54.740 now

00:53:56.420 that's a

00:53:57.220 genuine

00:53:57.540 question

00:53:58.140 because I

00:53:59.020 have no

00:53:59.360 way to

00:53:59.660 know

00:53:59.920 but if

00:54:01.660 you know

00:54:02.100 somebody

00:54:02.720 else

00:54:03.260 who was

00:54:04.100 does what

00:54:05.020 I do

00:54:05.400 you know

00:54:05.720 talk about

00:54:06.180 the news

00:54:06.560 was there

00:54:07.380 anybody who

00:54:07.920 beat me

00:54:08.460 to it

00:54:09.000 because in

00:54:10.220 that case

00:54:10.660 it was

00:54:10.880 probably

00:54:11.100 them

00:54:11.380 but I'm

00:54:12.880 not aware

00:54:13.260 of it

00:54:13.640 so and I

00:54:15.720 don't know

00:54:16.140 that everybody

00:54:16.820 would have

00:54:17.300 hit that

00:54:17.760 same idea

00:54:19.020 that we

00:54:20.420 don't know

00:54:20.820 what that

00:54:21.360 the world

00:54:21.700 doesn't know

00:54:22.140 what an

00:54:22.380 oligarch

00:54:22.820 is I

00:54:23.220 don't know

00:54:23.660 how obvious

00:54:24.320 that was

00:54:24.980 until I

00:54:26.300 pointed it

00:54:26.800 out

00:54:27.100 so

00:54:28.580 anyway

00:54:30.380 here's

00:54:32.380 what else

00:54:32.820 I would

00:54:33.180 add to

00:54:33.740 it

00:54:34.040 have you

00:54:35.820 noticed

00:54:36.080 that the

00:54:36.440 democrats

00:54:36.980 when they

00:54:38.260 talk about

00:54:39.000 Trump's

00:54:39.800 first 112

00:54:41.260 days or

00:54:42.040 whatever it

00:54:42.460 is

00:54:42.640 they say

00:54:44.020 that it

00:54:44.640 was

00:54:44.820 that it's

00:54:45.340 catastrophic

00:54:46.020 so they

00:54:48.160 say well

00:54:48.800 you know

00:54:49.260 Trump so

00:54:50.200 far has

00:54:50.620 been

00:54:50.780 catastrophic

00:54:51.520 and I

00:54:53.880 say to

00:54:54.220 myself

00:54:54.640 wait what

00:54:56.420 what was

00:54:57.760 catastrophic

00:54:58.740 I wake

00:55:00.580 up every

00:55:01.080 day and

00:55:02.560 nothing

00:55:02.920 really

00:55:03.420 catastrophic

00:55:04.760 is happening

00:55:05.500 to me

00:55:06.140 I mean

00:55:07.220 at least

00:55:07.560 from

00:55:07.920 politics

00:55:08.780 are any

00:55:10.340 of you

00:55:10.640 experiencing

00:55:11.320 anything

00:55:12.100 catastrophic

00:55:13.700 is it

00:55:15.400 the lower

00:55:16.060 inflation

00:55:16.660 is it

00:55:17.520 the border

00:55:18.400 being protected

00:55:19.260 is it

00:55:20.820 the deals

00:55:22.180 he's making

00:55:22.860 on tariffs

00:55:24.040 and other

00:55:24.440 things

00:55:24.860 is it

00:55:26.700 the potential

00:55:28.600 that he

00:55:29.040 might end

00:55:29.580 some wars

00:55:30.080 is it

00:55:30.660 the hooties

00:55:31.500 stopped

00:55:32.060 bombing us

00:55:32.900 what exactly

00:55:34.400 is the

00:55:35.380 catastrophic

00:55:36.880 part

00:55:37.700 is it

00:55:39.000 that there

00:55:39.460 was one

00:55:40.420 MS-13

00:55:41.620 accused

00:55:42.600 MS-13

00:55:43.360 guy

00:55:43.700 who was

00:55:45.580 a Maryland

00:55:46.280 dad

00:55:46.800 who didn't

00:55:47.660 get his

00:55:48.020 due process

00:55:48.820 is that

00:55:50.380 the catastrophic

00:55:50.960 part

00:55:51.540 but when

00:55:52.660 you hear

00:55:52.880 anybody

00:55:53.220 try to

00:55:53.620 add

00:55:53.920 anything

00:55:54.260 to it

00:55:54.780 they

00:55:57.620 talk about

00:55:58.420 how he's

00:55:58.940 becoming

00:56:00.200 a strong

00:56:00.980 man

00:56:01.400 or he's

00:56:02.580 trying to

00:56:02.920 become an

00:56:03.380 authoritarian

00:56:03.940 to which

00:56:05.380 I say

00:56:05.960 hasn't he

00:56:08.220 obeyed the

00:56:08.820 courts

00:56:09.300 so far

00:56:10.340 is there

00:56:11.620 a court

00:56:12.220 case

00:56:12.760 or a

00:56:13.200 court

00:56:13.460 order

00:56:13.940 that's

00:56:15.100 just being

00:56:15.760 ignored

00:56:16.260 because

00:56:17.580 if he's

00:56:18.240 simply

00:56:18.540 doing

00:56:18.980 things

00:56:19.520 which

00:56:19.960 are

00:56:20.140 pushing

00:56:20.460 the

00:56:20.720 envelope

00:56:21.080 but then

00:56:22.420 the courts

00:56:23.060 are deciding

00:56:23.760 what he can

00:56:24.580 get away

00:56:24.980 with and

00:56:25.340 what he

00:56:25.620 can't

00:56:26.040 that's

00:56:27.700 not okay

00:56:28.340 so where

00:56:31.600 is the

00:56:32.020 catastrophic

00:56:32.720 part

00:56:33.200 so I

00:56:34.500 think the

00:56:34.840 Democrats

00:56:35.200 need to

00:56:35.660 get rid

00:56:35.980 of

00:56:36.120 catastrophic

00:56:36.800 and

00:56:37.320 chaos

00:56:37.860 because

00:56:38.780 they

00:56:38.940 can't

00:56:39.180 define

00:56:39.540 either

00:56:39.780 one

00:56:40.180 and

00:56:40.900 they

00:56:41.040 don't

00:56:41.200 give

00:56:41.400 any

00:56:41.640 examples

00:56:42.260 all

00:56:44.460 right

00:56:44.560 I'm

00:56:44.780 going to

00:56:44.960 go

00:56:45.140 contrarian

00:56:46.100 on a

00:56:46.820 Biden

00:56:47.100 story

00:56:47.580 so

00:56:49.120 we're

00:56:50.380 learning

00:56:51.020 now

00:56:51.480 that the

00:56:52.720 reason

00:56:53.080 George Clooney

00:56:54.120 was so

00:56:54.940 alarmed

00:56:56.440 that

00:56:57.600 Biden's

00:56:58.240 brain

00:56:58.500 wasn't

00:56:58.840 working

00:56:59.200 is that

00:57:00.160 when he

00:57:00.540 met

00:57:00.840 Biden

00:57:01.340 Biden

00:57:02.400 didn't

00:57:02.860 recognize

00:57:03.460 George Clooney

00:57:04.340 now

00:57:06.740 on one

00:57:09.020 hand

00:57:09.400 you would

00:57:09.740 say

00:57:09.960 oh my

00:57:10.400 god

00:57:10.640 he's

00:57:10.880 the most

00:57:11.180 recognizable

00:57:11.860 actor

00:57:12.600 of course

00:57:13.860 anybody

00:57:14.300 would recognize

00:57:14.960 George Clooney

00:57:15.760 on the

00:57:17.080 other hand

00:57:17.700 has

00:57:18.560 anybody

00:57:18.880 noticed

00:57:19.360 that

00:57:19.640 George Clooney

00:57:20.320 doesn't

00:57:20.740 look like

00:57:21.160 George Clooney

00:57:21.860 anymore

00:57:22.300 I don't

00:57:24.820 know what's

00:57:25.120 going on

00:57:25.740 and I

00:57:26.520 don't

00:57:26.640 know if

00:57:26.880 it's

00:57:27.060 weight

00:57:27.400 loss

00:57:27.920 or because

00:57:28.460 he

00:57:28.780 changed

00:57:29.540 his hair

00:57:30.120 or whatever

00:57:30.560 but

00:57:30.880 to me

00:57:32.100 George Clooney

00:57:32.820 doesn't

00:57:33.240 look as

00:57:33.620 much like

00:57:34.100 George Clooney

00:57:34.940 as he

00:57:35.520 used to

00:57:35.980 do you

00:57:37.140 think that

00:57:37.520 that can

00:57:37.900 be part

00:57:38.240 of the

00:57:38.460 story

00:57:38.780 do you

00:57:39.900 think

00:57:40.100 it's

00:57:40.780 100%

00:57:41.820 that

00:57:42.600 Biden

00:57:43.020 wasn't

00:57:43.500 very

00:57:43.800 sharp

00:57:44.400 because

00:57:45.280 he probably

00:57:46.100 knew he

00:57:46.540 was going

00:57:46.840 to run

00:57:47.120 into

00:57:47.340 George Clooney

00:57:48.000 somebody

00:57:48.380 probably

00:57:48.740 told him

00:57:49.160 or is

00:57:50.220 it possible

00:57:50.820 that he

00:57:51.940 looked right

00:57:52.440 at him

00:57:52.860 and he

00:57:53.260 didn't

00:57:53.580 recognize

00:57:54.040 George Clooney

00:57:54.800 because he

00:57:55.380 doesn't look

00:57:55.840 the same

00:57:56.240 as he

00:57:56.520 did

00:57:56.840 even a

00:57:57.800 year ago

00:57:58.260 because he

00:57:59.580 doesn't look

00:58:00.140 the same

00:58:00.580 as he

00:58:00.880 did

00:58:01.120 even a

00:58:01.600 year ago

00:58:02.060 now I

00:58:03.320 don't know

00:58:03.580 why

00:58:03.960 it could

00:58:04.920 be

00:58:05.120 he's

00:58:05.360 you know

00:58:06.120 it's

00:58:06.260 because

00:58:06.480 he's

00:58:06.780 doing

00:58:07.080 something

00:58:07.400 for a

00:58:07.780 play

00:58:08.020 or

00:58:08.180 something

00:58:08.480 but

00:58:09.700 I'm

00:58:11.260 not

00:58:11.440 100%

00:58:12.100 sure

00:58:12.420 that

00:58:12.660 that

00:58:12.860 was

00:58:13.040 a

00:58:13.240 Biden

00:58:13.560 problem

00:58:14.080 you know

00:58:15.880 I could

00:58:16.740 imagine

00:58:17.200 it happening

00:58:17.760 to me

00:58:18.260 that's

00:58:19.420 why I'm

00:58:19.780 being a

00:58:20.100 little

00:58:20.300 flexible

00:58:23.900 on that

00:58:24.540 one

00:58:24.800 but

00:58:25.880 PBS

00:58:26.540 News

00:58:26.920 had a

00:58:27.500 video

00:58:28.460 in which

00:58:29.480 a reporter

00:58:29.960 was asking

00:58:30.760 Chuck Schumer

00:58:31.740 this question

00:58:34.100 you said

00:58:35.040 in June

00:58:35.480 of last

00:58:35.980 year

00:58:36.200 that

00:58:36.500 in my

00:58:37.180 dealings

00:58:37.660 with

00:58:37.940 President

00:58:38.480 Biden

00:58:38.800 I found

00:58:39.680 him to

00:58:39.980 be

00:58:40.180 in command

00:58:40.740 and

00:58:41.120 impressive

00:58:41.680 were you

00:58:42.900 being

00:58:43.160 straight

00:58:43.620 with the

00:58:44.000 American

00:58:44.300 public

00:58:44.820 and Schumer

00:58:46.040 's answer

00:58:46.560 was

00:58:47.040 we're

00:58:48.060 just

00:58:48.320 looking

00:58:48.660 forward

00:58:49.220 now

00:58:52.120 that

00:58:53.080 sounds

00:58:53.380 a lot

00:58:53.660 like a

00:58:54.060 confession

00:58:54.560 doesn't

00:58:54.960 it

00:58:55.160 we're

00:58:56.340 just

00:58:56.640 looking

00:58:56.980 forward

00:58:57.500 he's

00:58:57.980 completely

00:58:58.560 surrendered

00:58:59.260 to the

00:59:00.480 idea

00:59:00.840 that he

00:59:01.300 can't

00:59:01.640 keep up

00:59:02.020 the

00:59:02.240 charade

00:59:02.860 or

00:59:03.800 charade

00:59:04.400 that

00:59:05.540 he

00:59:06.820 wasn't

00:59:07.300 aware

00:59:07.640 that

00:59:07.900 Biden

00:59:08.220 was

00:59:08.620 mentally

00:59:09.420 incapable

00:59:10.440 it

00:59:11.300 just

00:59:11.540 looks

00:59:11.780 like

00:59:12.000 he

00:59:12.120 just

00:59:12.340 gave

00:59:12.620 up

00:59:12.900 and

00:59:13.100 said

00:59:13.320 we're

00:59:13.740 just

00:59:14.040 looking

00:59:14.340 forward

00:59:14.800 so

00:59:15.300 you

00:59:15.520 can

00:59:15.680 take

00:59:15.900 that

00:59:16.120 win

00:59:16.360 so

00:59:17.820 we'll

00:59:17.980 take

00:59:18.160 the

00:59:18.280 win

00:59:18.480 according

00:59:22.080 to

00:59:22.400 resist

00:59:22.920 the

00:59:23.180 mainstream

00:59:23.700 I

00:59:24.520 don't

00:59:24.660 know

00:59:24.800 who

00:59:24.960 they

00:59:25.120 are

00:59:25.260 but

00:59:25.420 they're

00:59:25.680 claiming

00:59:26.180 that

00:59:26.660 Biden

00:59:28.700 got

00:59:29.460 a

00:59:29.700 prostate

00:59:30.180 nodule

00:59:31.060 that

00:59:31.860 was

00:59:32.080 discovered

00:59:32.600 and that

00:59:33.660 nodule

00:59:34.360 had some

00:59:37.500 basal cell

00:59:38.200 carcinoma

00:59:39.040 these are

00:59:40.080 all words

00:59:40.740 that are

00:59:41.360 trying to

00:59:41.800 say cancer

00:59:42.380 but not

00:59:43.280 saying the

00:59:43.720 actual word

00:59:44.340 and

00:59:45.780 then a

00:59:47.560 biopsy

00:59:47.980 confirmed

00:59:48.520 that it

00:59:49.820 was basal

00:59:50.380 cell

00:59:50.680 carcinoma

00:59:51.460 and then

00:59:52.680 they say

00:59:53.180 that all

00:59:53.700 cancerous

00:59:54.300 tissue

00:59:54.640 was

00:59:55.040 successfully

00:59:55.760 removed

00:59:56.500 according

00:59:57.740 to Fox

00:59:58.320 News

00:59:58.740 now

01:00:01.620 how did

01:00:03.020 they do

01:00:03.380 that

01:00:03.640 without

01:00:03.880 surgery

01:00:04.460 do you

01:00:06.200 believe

01:00:06.540 that he

01:00:06.960 had a

01:00:07.700 cancerous

01:00:08.320 nodule

01:00:08.880 on his

01:00:09.380 prostate

01:00:09.840 and it

01:00:11.000 was 100%

01:00:11.860 removed

01:00:12.400 without

01:00:12.740 surgery

01:00:13.240 or that

01:00:14.700 he had

01:00:15.100 surgery

01:00:15.580 and we

01:00:15.980 didn't

01:00:16.120 hear

01:00:16.320 about

01:00:16.580 it

01:00:16.800 there's

01:00:18.560 something

01:00:18.780 about

01:00:19.060 this

01:00:19.260 story

01:00:19.560 that

01:00:19.740 doesn't

01:00:20.100 add

01:00:20.420 up

01:00:20.700 I'm

01:00:22.200 just

01:00:22.360 saying

01:00:22.640 you may

01:00:26.980 know

01:00:27.420 political

01:00:28.840 commentator

01:00:30.340 Mark

01:00:30.960 Halperin

01:00:31.560 who I

01:00:32.980 consider

01:00:33.460 I've been

01:00:35.020 watching him

01:00:35.520 for a while

01:00:35.940 he's got a

01:00:36.560 very good

01:00:37.820 podcast

01:00:38.500 two wire

01:00:39.340 I think

01:00:39.700 it's called

01:00:40.100 and

01:00:41.600 he always

01:00:42.600 seems like

01:00:43.040 a straight

01:00:43.560 shooter

01:00:43.980 meaning

01:00:44.840 that

01:00:45.260 he's not

01:00:46.360 he's not

01:00:46.920 the spin

01:00:47.420 guy

01:00:47.760 I can't

01:00:48.780 even tell

01:00:49.280 honestly

01:00:50.660 it's hard

01:00:51.040 to tell

01:00:51.340 what

01:00:51.620 political

01:00:52.460 view

01:00:52.960 he favors

01:00:53.660 he's

01:00:54.880 that

01:00:55.060 balanced

01:00:55.560 but

01:00:56.680 according

01:00:57.000 to him

01:00:57.520 when he

01:00:58.500 talks about

01:00:59.100 Fetterman

01:00:59.660 because

01:00:59.980 there are

01:01:01.300 stories

01:01:01.760 that

01:01:02.040 Fetterman

01:01:02.580 has been

01:01:03.700 a little

01:01:04.140 erratic

01:01:04.940 we don't

01:01:05.860 know what

01:01:06.120 that means

01:01:06.500 exactly

01:01:06.980 but

01:01:08.060 Halperin

01:01:08.580 said

01:01:08.980 quote

01:01:09.860 but I

01:01:10.460 can tell

01:01:10.860 you

01:01:11.100 behind

01:01:11.540 the

01:01:11.840 scenes

01:01:12.320 and

01:01:13.080 you know

01:01:13.860 Halperin

01:01:14.440 has really

01:01:14.940 good

01:01:15.160 sources

01:01:15.580 he goes

01:01:16.620 behind

01:01:17.040 the scenes

01:01:17.580 Fetterman's

01:01:18.180 behavior

01:01:18.640 warrants

01:01:19.240 the commentary

01:01:20.000 it's gotten

01:01:20.740 plus more

01:01:21.580 I can tell

01:01:22.360 you that

01:01:22.900 so

01:01:24.380 Fetterman

01:01:25.080 is in

01:01:25.760 fact

01:01:26.160 acting

01:01:27.680 in a

01:01:28.020 way

01:01:28.220 that

01:01:28.600 I think

01:01:30.220 from a

01:01:30.700 purely

01:01:31.040 health

01:01:31.740 perspective

01:01:32.420 is

01:01:34.200 concerning

01:01:34.800 so if

01:01:37.080 you thought

01:01:37.500 you saw

01:01:37.900 it publicly

01:01:38.460 well you

01:01:39.780 were

01:01:40.120 it was

01:01:42.100 showing up

01:01:42.780 now I

01:01:44.000 hope he

01:01:44.320 gets the

01:01:44.980 help that

01:01:47.420 he needs

01:01:47.880 because it

01:01:48.940 could be

01:01:49.260 anything

01:01:49.660 could be

01:01:50.540 anything

01:01:50.900 from

01:01:51.360 well it

01:01:52.880 could be

01:01:53.140 anything

01:01:53.520 I'll just

01:01:54.700 say I

01:01:55.140 would treat

01:01:55.480 this as

01:01:55.920 a health

01:01:56.420 problem

01:01:56.900 and I'll

01:01:58.440 just hope

01:01:59.160 he gets

01:01:59.420 better

01:01:59.720 according to

01:02:03.740 404 media

01:02:04.700 the Republicans

01:02:05.480 are trying

01:02:07.040 to put into

01:02:07.660 their big

01:02:08.280 beautiful

01:02:08.820 budget bill

01:02:10.320 AI

01:02:11.360 regulations

01:02:12.280 a ban

01:02:14.240 on

01:02:14.560 states

01:02:15.780 regulating

01:02:16.740 AI

01:02:17.520 for 10

01:02:18.420 years

01:02:18.760 because I

01:02:20.520 guess states

01:02:21.060 could do

01:02:21.420 that if they

01:02:21.920 wanted to

01:02:22.380 and that

01:02:22.860 would be

01:02:23.120 very bad

01:02:23.700 but I

01:02:25.420 think it's

01:02:25.680 not just

01:02:26.080 states

01:02:26.500 but it's

01:02:26.860 about

01:02:27.020 anybody

01:02:27.580 so

01:02:29.220 the

01:02:30.200 Republicans

01:02:30.700 want

01:02:31.240 AI

01:02:32.360 to

01:02:32.820 live free

01:02:34.340 and

01:02:34.660 do what

01:02:35.940 it can

01:02:36.200 do

01:02:36.480 capitalism

01:02:37.200 wise

01:02:37.740 I don't

01:02:38.840 know if

01:02:39.060 that's a

01:02:39.360 good idea

01:02:39.820 or a

01:02:40.060 bad idea

01:02:40.500 but it's

01:02:40.860 in there

01:02:41.160 remember

01:02:43.320 Senator

01:02:44.140 Tillis

01:02:44.920 he apparently

01:02:46.920 came out

01:02:47.640 against

01:02:48.320 Trump's

01:02:49.280 plan to

01:02:49.880 slash

01:02:50.320 drug prices

01:02:51.080 with his

01:02:51.700 executive

01:02:52.200 order

01:02:52.640 what

01:02:55.120 what

01:02:57.860 how in

01:03:00.080 the world

01:03:00.380 could you

01:03:00.780 be a

01:03:01.120 Republican

01:03:01.620 senator

01:03:02.480 and be

01:03:03.860 against it

01:03:04.500 and he

01:03:05.000 calls the

01:03:05.600 most favored

01:03:06.860 nations

01:03:07.400 policy

01:03:07.900 that's

01:03:08.320 where we

01:03:08.840 get the

01:03:09.300 best price

01:03:10.180 that any

01:03:10.800 other country

01:03:11.340 gets

01:03:11.660 short-sighted

01:03:13.220 and

01:03:13.520 unsustainable

01:03:14.500 really

01:03:16.160 it's

01:03:17.280 short-sighted

01:03:18.000 and

01:03:18.160 unsustainable

01:03:19.040 really

01:03:20.780 it's not

01:03:23.420 just a

01:03:23.900 gigantic

01:03:24.840 financial

01:03:25.680 advantage

01:03:26.340 for

01:03:26.680 senior

01:03:27.540 citizens

01:03:28.180 especially

01:03:28.760 no it's

01:03:30.340 short-sighted

01:03:31.260 and unsustainable

01:03:32.280 now

01:03:33.560 do you

01:03:34.660 trust him

01:03:35.220 anymore

01:03:35.600 I mean

01:03:38.540 you need

01:03:40.640 a better

01:03:41.020 argument

01:03:41.480 than that

01:03:42.320 for me

01:03:43.280 to think

01:03:43.760 that you're

01:03:44.240 not being

01:03:44.780 influenced

01:03:45.340 by something

01:03:46.200 or someone

01:03:47.020 so

01:03:49.840 any trust

01:03:51.180 you had

01:03:51.660 in Senator

01:03:52.380 Tillis

01:03:52.900 I think

01:03:53.840 you should

01:03:54.260 remove

01:03:54.880 now if he

01:03:56.180 has a good

01:03:56.740 argument

01:03:57.180 that for

01:03:58.360 some

01:03:59.100 miraculous

01:03:59.640 reason

01:04:00.140 he's the

01:04:00.640 only one

01:04:01.060 who thought

01:04:01.460 of it

01:04:01.780 I'm open

01:04:03.380 to it

01:04:03.840 yeah let's

01:04:05.340 hear a good

01:04:05.800 argument

01:04:06.160 but that's

01:04:07.140 not an

01:04:07.460 argument

01:04:07.940 short-sighted

01:04:09.180 and unsustainable

01:04:10.240 you're gonna

01:04:11.260 need a little

01:04:11.840 bit more

01:04:12.260 than that

01:04:12.820 now maybe

01:04:13.640 there is a

01:04:14.140 little bit

01:04:14.420 more than

01:04:14.780 that I

01:04:15.100 haven't

01:04:15.320 seen it

01:04:15.760 but

01:04:16.780 if nobody

01:04:18.480 else is

01:04:18.980 picking up

01:04:19.540 on his

01:04:19.900 argument

01:04:20.300 I think

01:04:23.360 you just

01:04:23.720 can't trust

01:04:24.340 him on

01:04:25.120 this or

01:04:25.600 anything

01:04:25.980 else

01:04:26.420 I mean

01:04:26.980 it feels

01:04:28.920 like it's

01:04:29.340 just so

01:04:29.720 over the

01:04:30.260 top

01:04:30.700 in

01:04:32.000 obviously

01:04:32.860 not

01:04:33.820 serving

01:04:34.260 the

01:04:34.480 people

01:04:34.800 so

01:04:36.600 that's

01:04:37.020 what it

01:04:37.240 feels

01:04:37.480 like

01:04:37.800 according

01:04:39.840 to the

01:04:40.160 daily

01:04:40.420 wire

01:04:40.760 there's

01:04:41.720 some

01:04:44.140 advocates

01:04:44.840 for a

01:04:45.780 remittance

01:04:46.640 tax

01:04:47.100 so when

01:04:48.300 all the

01:04:48.760 illegal

01:04:49.360 migrants

01:04:50.820 send money

01:04:51.760 back to

01:04:52.160 Mexico

01:04:52.540 there's

01:04:53.440 I guess

01:04:53.900 86 billion

01:04:54.900 dollars

01:04:55.300 went back

01:04:55.920 in

01:04:56.920 2023

01:04:57.540 there's

01:04:58.840 a

01:04:59.180 the

01:05:00.440 big

01:05:00.820 beautiful

01:05:01.240 bill

01:05:01.700 includes

01:05:03.800 a

01:05:03.980 5%

01:05:04.640 remittance

01:05:05.180 tax

01:05:05.540 so the

01:05:06.420 big

01:05:06.600 beautiful

01:05:06.940 bill

01:05:07.220 is not

01:05:07.700 approved

01:05:08.440 yet

01:05:08.720 but it

01:05:09.060 might be

01:05:09.440 and that

01:05:12.020 would be

01:05:12.560 some extra

01:05:14.800 free money

01:05:15.440 I mean

01:05:15.720 it's not

01:05:16.100 not going to

01:05:16.880 change the

01:05:17.520 the total

01:05:19.240 debt situation

01:05:21.180 it's not that

01:05:21.780 big

01:05:22.080 but it does

01:05:24.020 feel like

01:05:24.660 we should

01:05:26.220 get

01:05:26.520 something

01:05:27.420 it feels

01:05:29.620 like a

01:05:30.000 fair thing

01:05:30.580 to tax

01:05:31.220 but maybe

01:05:31.900 I think

01:05:32.300 that

01:05:32.500 because

01:05:32.820 it's

01:05:33.020 not

01:05:33.200 me

01:05:33.420 so

01:05:34.420 5%

01:05:35.180 potential

01:05:35.900 tax

01:05:37.060 I also

01:05:37.560 wonder

01:05:37.920 how much

01:05:38.520 of those

01:05:39.120 how much

01:05:40.300 of that

01:05:40.540 money

01:05:40.780 that's

01:05:41.120 being

01:05:41.400 sent

01:05:41.700 back

01:05:42.160 is

01:05:42.580 trackable

01:05:43.280 do you

01:05:44.400 think

01:05:44.560 it's

01:05:44.780 trackable

01:05:45.320 I feel

01:05:47.560 like they

01:05:47.900 find ways

01:05:48.740 to send

01:05:49.220 money

01:05:49.600 that

01:05:50.080 are

01:05:51.300 you know

01:05:51.800 sort

01:05:52.080 of

01:05:52.220 not

01:05:52.440 trackable

01:05:53.100 but I

01:05:54.320 don't

01:05:54.440 know

01:05:54.580 the

01:05:54.740 details

01:05:55.160 well

01:05:57.400 there's

01:05:57.700 a

01:05:57.920 Trump

01:05:58.260 appointed

01:05:58.640 judge

01:05:59.100 who

01:05:59.320 says

01:05:59.560 it's

01:05:59.820 okay

01:06:00.260 for

01:06:01.580 Trump

01:06:02.600 to use

01:06:03.000 the

01:06:03.200 alien

01:06:03.600 enemies

01:06:04.080 act

01:06:04.500 to

01:06:04.660 deport

01:06:05.000 those

01:06:05.480 Venezuelan

01:06:06.220 gangs

01:06:06.640 that

01:06:06.880 trend

01:06:07.160 to

01:06:07.360 Aragua

01:06:07.820 that's

01:06:08.980 according

01:06:09.220 to

01:06:09.420 Blaze

01:06:09.740 Media

01:06:10.120 but

01:06:12.360 the

01:06:12.840 judge

01:06:13.160 says

01:06:13.500 that

01:06:13.760 the

01:06:13.920 administration

01:06:14.460 has

01:06:14.780 to

01:06:14.940 give

01:06:15.140 them

01:06:15.460 21

01:06:16.300 days

01:06:16.700 of

01:06:16.880 notice

01:06:17.360 how

01:06:18.860 does

01:06:19.040 that

01:06:19.260 work

01:06:19.640 do

01:06:21.760 you

01:06:21.940 do

01:06:22.160 you

01:06:22.300 arrest

01:06:22.680 them

01:06:22.940 in

01:06:23.060 a

01:06:23.200 big

01:06:23.440 operation

01:06:24.240 and

01:06:25.160 then

01:06:25.340 say

01:06:25.640 wait

01:06:26.280 right

01:06:26.520 here

01:06:26.880 for

01:06:27.520 21

01:06:28.000 days

01:06:28.500 or

01:06:30.280 can

01:06:31.000 you

01:06:31.140 put

01:06:31.360 them

01:06:31.500 in

01:06:31.700 jail

01:06:32.060 and

01:06:33.580 then

01:06:34.480 the

01:06:34.740 21

01:06:35.180 day

01:06:35.460 starts

01:06:35.980 I

01:06:37.040 don't

01:06:37.160 know

01:06:37.300 if

01:06:37.420 this

01:06:37.600 is

01:06:37.740 helping

01:06:38.000 as

01:06:38.220 much

01:06:38.460 as

01:06:38.620 it

01:06:38.780 looks

01:06:38.960 like

01:06:39.240 and

01:06:39.960 I

01:06:40.080 also

01:06:40.280 don't

01:06:40.560 know

01:06:40.780 if

01:06:40.980 this

01:06:41.200 is

01:06:41.360 the

01:06:41.520 final

01:06:41.840 say

01:06:42.300 but

01:06:43.440 at

01:06:43.900 the

01:06:44.060 moment

01:06:44.440 at

01:06:45.360 least

01:06:45.540 there's

01:06:45.840 one

01:06:46.120 judge

01:06:46.480 who

01:06:46.700 says

01:06:47.040 that

01:06:47.360 Trump

01:06:47.860 can

01:06:48.140 keep

01:06:48.640 doing

01:06:48.900 these

01:06:49.300 deportations

01:06:51.040 so I

01:06:52.040 think

01:06:52.200 that's

01:06:52.460 what the

01:06:52.760 administration

01:06:53.280 will do

01:06:53.820 well I was

01:06:56.240 watching some

01:06:56.900 video of

01:06:57.540 Josh Hawley

01:06:58.620 going after

01:07:00.020 the CEO

01:07:01.120 of Allstate

01:07:01.980 insurance

01:07:02.500 and

01:07:04.180 apparently

01:07:04.640 there are

01:07:04.980 some

01:07:05.220 whistleblowers

01:07:06.000 now you

01:07:07.020 can't always

01:07:07.680 trust the

01:07:08.300 whistleblowers

01:07:09.000 because remember

01:07:09.900 whistleblowers

01:07:11.440 sometimes

01:07:12.620 are brave

01:07:13.400 heroes

01:07:14.040 telling us

01:07:15.260 what we

01:07:15.640 need to

01:07:16.000 know

01:07:16.260 sometimes

01:07:17.820 they're

01:07:18.420 disgruntled

01:07:19.080 employees

01:07:19.640 who maybe

01:07:20.960 got fired

01:07:21.560 for a good

01:07:22.060 reason

01:07:22.400 but that's

01:07:24.080 not the way

01:07:24.500 they're going

01:07:24.880 to tell

01:07:25.200 it

01:07:25.440 so you

01:07:26.700 have to

01:07:26.960 be careful

01:07:27.400 about your

01:07:27.860 whistleblowers

01:07:28.500 but there

01:07:29.980 are a couple

01:07:30.280 whistleblowers

01:07:30.960 who say

01:07:31.320 that Allstate

01:07:32.160 essentially

01:07:33.760 essentially

01:07:37.140 ordered

01:07:37.840 them

01:07:38.260 downgrade

01:07:42.120 their

01:07:42.340 estimates

01:07:42.860 of how

01:07:43.260 much

01:07:43.460 they

01:07:43.640 should

01:07:43.860 pay

01:07:44.060 people

01:07:44.480 for

01:07:44.960 the

01:07:45.220 damage

01:07:45.680 to

01:07:45.820 their

01:07:45.960 homes

01:07:46.300 now if

01:07:47.560 that's

01:07:47.840 true

01:07:48.220 and

01:07:49.580 essentially

01:07:50.300 they were

01:07:50.680 being asked

01:07:51.220 to lie

01:07:51.840 because

01:07:53.200 the

01:07:53.640 evaluators

01:07:55.920 what would

01:07:56.620 they be

01:07:56.920 called

01:07:57.280 what's the

01:07:59.220 name of

01:07:59.520 those people

01:08:00.040 the people

01:08:01.460 who look

01:08:02.620 at your

01:08:02.860 house and

01:08:03.300 decide how

01:08:03.820 much

01:08:04.040 insurance

01:08:04.560 you're

01:08:05.080 going to

01:08:05.280 get

01:08:05.500 anyway

01:08:06.860 so those

01:08:07.680 people say

01:08:08.420 that they

01:08:08.720 would do

01:08:09.000 their work

01:08:09.520 and then

01:08:10.420 the bosses

01:08:11.320 would say

01:08:11.900 well why

01:08:12.780 don't you

01:08:13.100 change that

01:08:13.760 number so

01:08:14.500 that we

01:08:14.920 give them

01:08:15.400 less money

01:08:16.120 adjusters

01:08:17.060 thank you

01:08:17.680 the adjusters

01:08:19.000 so if

01:08:20.900 it's true

01:08:21.540 that Allstate

01:08:23.600 was leaning

01:08:25.560 on the

01:08:26.040 adjusters to

01:08:26.960 literally lie

01:08:28.100 because it

01:08:29.340 was good

01:08:29.660 for profit

01:08:30.260 that's a

01:08:31.920 pretty big

01:08:32.520 problem and

01:08:33.560 I think

01:08:34.100 Josh Hawley

01:08:34.780 is doing

01:08:35.180 good work

01:08:36.320 to expose

01:08:38.000 that

01:08:38.400 in related

01:08:40.700 news

01:08:41.160 another

01:08:41.540 insurance

01:08:42.060 company

01:08:42.420 that I

01:08:42.760 always

01:08:43.040 confuse

01:08:44.040 with

01:08:44.520 Allstate

01:08:45.100 State

01:08:46.220 Farm

01:08:46.600 because they

01:08:47.200 both have

01:08:47.560 state in

01:08:48.120 the name

01:08:48.400 they've

01:08:49.940 requested

01:08:50.460 and been

01:08:51.440 granted a

01:08:52.020 17%

01:08:53.060 premium

01:08:54.120 increase

01:08:54.780 in California

01:08:55.780 but they

01:08:57.920 still won't

01:08:58.440 cover wildfires

01:08:59.540 and the

01:09:00.480 17% is

01:09:01.660 just the

01:09:02.060 first part

01:09:02.600 of what

01:09:02.840 they want

01:09:03.260 they want

01:09:03.640 30%

01:09:04.240 so

01:09:06.120 insurance

01:09:08.280 companies

01:09:08.700 are not

01:09:09.180 doing

01:09:09.440 great

01:09:09.900 I

01:09:12.280 mean

01:09:13.000 I guess

01:09:14.320 it's better

01:09:14.840 that they

01:09:15.240 exist

01:09:15.640 than they

01:09:16.100 don't

01:09:16.520 but they're

01:09:17.400 not really

01:09:17.820 helping

01:09:18.120 California

01:09:18.720 too much

01:09:19.360 and they

01:09:19.980 they're

01:09:20.780 starting to

01:09:21.280 look more

01:09:21.700 like the

01:09:22.100 enemy

01:09:22.420 than the

01:09:23.260 safety

01:09:25.360 in some

01:09:28.580 technology

01:09:29.200 news

01:09:29.680 according to

01:09:31.040 engineering

01:09:31.520 and technology

01:09:32.280 there's an

01:09:32.860 electrolysis

01:09:33.700 technique

01:09:34.360 that now

01:09:35.760 can convert

01:09:36.460 seawater

01:09:37.220 directly into

01:09:38.120 hydrogen

01:09:38.660 without

01:09:39.460 desalinating

01:09:40.400 at first

01:09:41.240 now

01:09:42.680 apparently

01:09:43.180 it is so

01:09:44.120 efficient

01:09:44.600 that it

01:09:46.180 can be

01:09:46.740 and it

01:09:47.540 looks like

01:09:47.920 it can be

01:09:48.380 ramped up

01:09:48.880 to industrial

01:09:49.500 scale

01:09:50.020 but so

01:09:50.920 efficient

01:09:51.380 that you

01:09:51.860 can use

01:09:52.520 solar

01:09:53.060 power

01:09:53.540 to create

01:09:55.520 the

01:09:55.900 hydrogen

01:09:57.220 so in

01:09:58.620 theory

01:09:59.020 if you're

01:10:01.000 a place

01:10:01.480 that's near

01:10:02.200 seawater

01:10:02.880 and you

01:10:04.200 get a lot

01:10:04.600 of sun

01:10:05.020 you can

01:10:06.380 just put

01:10:07.060 this new

01:10:07.720 industrial

01:10:08.220 scale

01:10:08.820 production

01:10:09.720 thing there

01:10:10.300 and it

01:10:11.140 will just

01:10:11.500 keep running

01:10:12.120 and create

01:10:12.880 a bunch

01:10:14.180 of hydrogen

01:10:15.280 that is worth

01:10:16.160 more than

01:10:16.640 the cost

01:10:17.920 of the

01:10:18.440 installation

01:10:19.140 now that

01:10:20.620 would be

01:10:20.920 pretty

01:10:21.400 amazing

01:10:22.400 actually

01:10:23.100 so I

01:10:24.380 don't know

01:10:24.620 if this

01:10:24.980 is the

01:10:25.420 thing that

01:10:26.060 will change

01:10:26.460 the world

01:10:26.840 but every

01:10:28.500 time I see

01:10:29.040 something like

01:10:29.620 this I think

01:10:30.260 man you

01:10:30.840 really can't

01:10:31.480 predict
