Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2901 CWSA 07⧸18⧸25

00:00:00.700 Come on in. Grab a seat.

00:00:03.680 We've got a show for you.

00:00:06.460 You're going to like it.

00:00:08.340 It'll be awesome.

00:00:10.940 But first, I want to make sure I can see all your comments.

00:00:17.220 And come on.

00:00:19.840 Come on, locals.

00:00:23.100 There we go.

00:00:26.480 I can see you.

00:00:30.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:37.660 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:39.500 And welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:42.840 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:44.980 And you've never had a better time.

00:00:47.980 But if you'd like to take a chance in elevating this experience to levels

00:00:54.360 that no one can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:58.360 all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tanker,

00:01:03.700 a chalice, a cider, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of a kind.

00:01:07.960 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:09.680 I like coffee.

00:01:11.440 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:14.420 the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:17.860 It's called The Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:20.700 Go.

00:01:25.020 Ah.

00:01:27.640 Delicious.

00:01:30.460 Well, if you're a fan of Akira the Don,

00:01:35.140 who makes music by taking social media influencers' voices

00:01:40.160 and turning it into popular music.

00:01:44.580 Well, he has another one that features me talking about

00:01:50.000 what if laziness is a habit.

00:01:53.420 And Akira the Don.

00:01:55.620 So look for that on my XFeed today

00:02:00.040 or at the Akira the Don XFeed.

00:02:04.520 You're going to love it.

00:02:05.360 Some people say it's the best thing they've ever heard.

00:02:12.980 Some people use it to fall asleep.

00:02:16.160 But you might like it.

00:02:19.720 Speaking of music,

00:02:22.360 while Akira the Don is rising,

00:02:25.200 the Steve Miller Band canceled their U.S. tour

00:02:28.240 not because the ticket sales were soft,

00:02:32.220 although they were.

00:02:33.280 What would be the real reason

00:02:35.700 they canceled their 31-city tour?

00:02:40.720 Well, according to the band,

00:02:43.600 it's because of climate change.

00:02:47.780 So it's probably a coincidence

00:02:51.400 that the ticket sales were anemic.

00:02:54.720 The real reason is because of the weather.

00:02:58.320 Not just the weather today,

00:03:00.320 but the weather forever.

00:03:02.240 Yeah.

00:03:03.940 So it'll be a little bit embarrassing

00:03:06.240 if next year they try to do another tour

00:03:09.520 because I would ask,

00:03:13.300 what happened to climate change?

00:03:15.840 Did it get solved?

00:03:17.680 And what about all those other touring acts?

00:03:20.880 Are they going to take their chances?

00:03:23.080 Will Paul McCarty's tour be destroyed by climate?

00:03:27.860 Maybe.

00:03:28.860 Maybe.

00:03:29.940 Or maybe the Steve Miller Band

00:03:32.280 is not as popular as they hoped.

00:03:36.860 Well, I wonder if there's any news about science

00:03:40.920 that they didn't need to do any research.

00:03:44.560 Well, yes.

00:03:45.360 According to Medscape,

00:03:48.140 Carla Cantor is writing,

00:03:50.560 that it looks like it might be possible,

00:03:53.540 according to a large observational study,

00:03:57.400 to analyze the activity of a user with their smartphone

00:04:02.780 and determine patterns of psychopathology.

00:04:08.000 In other words,

00:04:09.600 they've determined that they can tell how crazy you are

00:04:13.160 and what form of crazy you are.

00:04:16.220 You might call it mental health.

00:04:17.620 based on your changes in your phone's activity

00:04:22.640 or changes in your activity with your phone.

00:04:26.300 Now, how many of you did not know

00:04:29.420 that if you had access to somebody's phone usage,

00:04:33.800 you could determine what their psychopathology is?

00:04:38.980 Is there anybody who didn't already know

00:04:41.640 that if you knew what they were doing privately

00:04:45.120 with their phone,

00:04:45.920 you could pretty much tell

00:04:48.240 who's crazy and who's not

00:04:51.520 and probably even specifically what's wrong.

00:04:54.940 Well, they don't know that for sure,

00:04:56.780 but they're planning a big study to find out.

00:05:00.000 But they don't need it.

00:05:01.480 They could just ask Scott,

00:05:04.220 Scott,

00:05:05.560 would we be able to determine

00:05:07.520 the mental health of a person

00:05:09.720 by their phone usage?

00:05:11.780 Yes.

00:05:14.260 Big yes.

00:05:15.200 Yes, you can.

00:05:18.480 Well, according to interesting engineering,

00:05:22.800 Chris Young writes

00:05:23.700 that there are several firms

00:05:27.300 trying to make it cheaper

00:05:29.040 to launch rockets into space.

00:05:31.680 One of them is a centrifuge,

00:05:34.320 a massive centrifuge.

00:05:36.280 So it would spin the rocket

00:05:37.500 and when the speed is really high,

00:05:40.300 it would release it.

00:05:41.120 So it would basically just toss it in the air.

00:05:45.840 And then once the hard part of the liftoff is over,

00:05:49.560 because the closer you are to Earth,

00:05:51.740 the more fuel you need,

00:05:53.340 then some fuel would kick in

00:05:55.220 after it reached a certain height.

00:05:56.500 So that's a Newark's startup.

00:06:00.520 And there's a company that's looking to use a space cannon

00:06:05.280 to blast payloads into, you know, low orbit

00:06:10.340 so that they don't need as much fuel.

00:06:12.620 But now there's a new one called Origa Space.

00:06:17.720 And they're trying to develop a maglev track

00:06:22.520 so they can shoot a space module into space

00:06:27.500 with much less fuel.

00:06:29.440 And they've been funded.

00:06:31.380 So I don't know if Elon Musk

00:06:33.680 is ever going to use any of these.

00:06:35.220 I feel like none of them would work

00:06:37.280 if you had a human on board

00:06:40.100 because you would have to accelerate it so fast

00:06:43.180 that it would probably kill all people.

00:06:46.820 But, you know, maybe if you're launching a,

00:06:49.220 I don't know, a space weapon

00:06:51.660 or some kind of intercontinental ballistic weapon,

00:06:57.460 it might be very useful.

00:06:59.560 So we'll see.

00:07:00.180 Meanwhile, the CEO of NPR,

00:07:04.100 she went back on CNN

00:07:05.520 because, as you know,

00:07:06.480 the federal funding for NPR was voted away.

00:07:12.120 And on CNN,

00:07:14.160 Senator John Kennedy

00:07:15.640 is commenting on a clip of her on CNN

00:07:19.540 in which she claims that NPR

00:07:22.300 is, quote,

00:07:24.680 a nonpartisan organization.

00:07:27.020 The funding was cut

00:07:30.080 because they're a partisan organization.

00:07:32.700 But she says,

00:07:33.800 no, we're nonpartisan.

00:07:35.480 Always have been.

00:07:37.120 So Senator Kennedy

00:07:38.800 forwarded her clip on X

00:07:41.960 and added his comment.

00:07:44.540 So why did a former NPR editor

00:07:47.260 find that their $200 million DC newsroom

00:07:51.820 had 87 Democrats in editorial positions

00:07:56.000 and zero Republicans?

00:07:58.960 So the CEO of NPR wants us to believe

00:08:02.860 that they're nonpartisan,

00:08:04.980 but 100% of their editors,

00:08:07.760 and there are a lot of them,

00:08:09.060 87 of them,

00:08:10.500 every one of them is a Democrat.

00:08:12.580 Hmm.

00:08:13.300 Hmm.

00:08:14.280 I'm not sure I believe her.

00:08:17.540 Well, let's see if you can find a pattern

00:08:20.220 in this next story.

00:08:22.280 Does this story sound like

00:08:23.900 anything you've ever heard before?

00:08:26.700 Does it remind you of anything else

00:08:29.120 that's happened in the news?

00:08:31.420 New York Post is reporting

00:08:33.100 that Biden pushed for $10 billion

00:08:37.480 worth of electric mail delivery trucks.

00:08:41.840 So he wanted to build a fleet

00:08:43.740 of electric, you know,

00:08:45.780 green energy trucks

00:08:47.120 for the post office.

00:08:49.260 How many of them did they make?

00:08:51.580 They've only made 250 electric mail trucks

00:08:54.800 in two years.

00:08:58.100 So it appears

00:08:59.940 that the pattern of Democrats

00:09:02.100 being very good at voting money for things

00:09:05.100 is really bad at making anything happen,

00:09:08.600 such as a high-speed rail,

00:09:11.980 such as everything else they've tried to fund,

00:09:14.700 such as their rural Wi-Fi.

00:09:17.580 They built nothing.

00:09:21.360 How many times do you have to see a story

00:09:23.880 about Democrats allocating billions of dollars

00:09:27.320 to a construction project that didn't happen?

00:09:31.140 And probably it didn't happen

00:09:34.580 because Democrats always have so many rules,

00:09:38.740 you know, environmental rules,

00:09:40.700 and people got to comment on it.

00:09:42.580 So, once again,

00:09:46.140 Democrats are the ones

00:09:47.760 who can't build anything.

00:09:50.040 Yeah, Solyndra, another example.

00:10:52.680 So, allegedly,

00:10:55.100 there are big protests this weekend.

00:11:00.480 Is it happening today yet?

00:11:03.600 So, it's called the Good Trouble Protest.

00:11:08.380 Good Trouble referring to,

00:11:11.000 you know,

00:11:11.380 the kind of protest that's trouble,

00:11:13.360 but there's a good reason for it.

00:11:16.080 And Newsmax reporting about this.

00:11:20.600 And then Newsmax was doing

00:11:23.060 a person-in-the-street interview

00:11:24.720 with some of the Good Trouble protesters.

00:11:28.180 And I can't get enough of this.

00:11:30.620 You know what's going to happen, right?

00:11:34.200 So, the reporter puts the microphone

00:11:36.460 in the face of the protester

00:11:38.580 who is happy to talk.

00:11:40.820 How old is the protester?

00:11:43.300 If you guessed senior citizen,

00:11:45.960 you are correct.

00:11:48.820 So, when asked why the senior citizen

00:11:52.440 was asked,

00:11:55.440 what are you protesting against?

00:11:57.440 And I'd like to do my impression

00:12:01.160 of the senior citizen

00:12:03.260 who thought it was important

00:12:04.460 to go protest

00:12:05.400 when asked,

00:12:07.240 why are you protesting?

00:12:08.580 It goes something like this.

00:12:10.720 Oh, well,

00:12:11.660 the Trump things

00:12:14.520 and all the autocracy

00:12:17.300 and there's the stealing

00:12:19.920 of the democracy.

00:12:21.640 What kind of democracy

00:12:22.800 is he stealing?

00:12:24.000 Well, there are all kinds of things.

00:12:25.860 So many things,

00:12:27.360 I can't think of one.

00:12:29.220 But, you know,

00:12:29.740 he's autocratic

00:12:31.640 and the oligarchs

00:12:33.480 and they're stealing the democracy.

00:12:36.320 Oh, my God.

00:12:38.400 I want to see

00:12:39.520 as many of those as I can.

00:12:42.280 I want to see

00:12:42.840 if anyone

00:12:43.460 can come up with anything.

00:12:46.660 Because they are pro-pesters.

00:12:49.300 Not protesters.

00:12:50.940 They're pro-pesters.

00:12:52.240 They're pests.

00:12:52.660 All right.

00:12:56.980 Somebody asked,

00:12:58.420 somebody named DefiantLs

00:13:00.600 on X,

00:13:01.820 it's an X account,

00:13:03.880 said,

00:13:05.680 you know,

00:13:06.420 why isn't there

00:13:07.400 more of a meme generator

00:13:08.880 built into Grok?

00:13:11.400 Now, Grok

00:13:12.360 can create images,

00:13:14.340 but wouldn't you like

00:13:15.700 to add your own text to it

00:13:17.540 and turn it into a meme?

00:13:19.980 Well, Elon Musk

00:13:21.360 saw that comment

00:13:22.240 and said,

00:13:22.920 something very cool

00:13:24.140 is brewing.

00:13:25.360 And later,

00:13:26.060 he said,

00:13:26.940 working on a new way

00:13:28.400 to make creative viral videos fast.

00:13:31.400 It's being called Imagine.

00:13:34.240 So,

00:13:35.280 maybe Grok

00:13:36.420 will be your

00:13:37.220 solution

00:13:38.420 to meme making.

00:13:39.880 I don't know

00:13:41.960 if it will suggest

00:13:42.940 a meme

00:13:43.420 or if you have to

00:13:45.480 just pick your own image

00:13:47.960 and then add your own text.

00:13:50.380 Or will it use AI

00:13:52.040 to suggest viral videos?

00:13:56.280 I don't know

00:13:57.240 if AI is up to that.

00:13:59.260 So,

00:13:59.740 I'm going to guess

00:14:00.500 it's just helping you

00:14:01.660 make your own memes.

00:14:03.160 I doubt it could make a meme

00:14:04.700 that anybody would care about.

00:14:06.860 But we'll see.

00:14:07.400 If it can,

00:14:09.080 that would be indeed

00:14:10.180 very cool.

00:14:13.360 All right.

00:14:16.920 Here's what I love.

00:14:19.500 So,

00:14:20.320 Dana Bash

00:14:21.140 was on CNN

00:14:21.960 and she was reading

00:14:23.100 a truth social post

00:14:25.740 by Trump.

00:14:27.180 And in that post,

00:14:28.780 Trump was saying,

00:14:30.240 he was talking about

00:14:33.220 the fake news,

00:14:34.700 PBS

00:14:35.060 and NPR

00:14:37.280 and he said

00:14:38.800 that they were

00:14:39.420 even worse than CNN.

00:14:41.760 Now,

00:14:42.540 because he's the

00:14:43.400 President of the United States,

00:14:45.660 whatever he says

00:14:46.900 that's provocative

00:14:48.080 is news.

00:14:50.040 So,

00:14:50.600 CNN,

00:14:51.180 whose job

00:14:51.700 is to cover the news,

00:14:53.720 has to read

00:14:54.760 out loud

00:14:55.820 or show

00:14:57.220 that the President

00:14:58.380 of the United States

00:14:59.260 calls them

00:15:00.140 fake news.

00:15:00.900 So,

00:15:03.540 let me ask you this.

00:15:05.340 I've told you

00:15:06.260 that I like watching

00:15:07.180 the news

00:15:07.680 for the humor.

00:15:10.660 And honestly,

00:15:11.880 that's not hyperbole.

00:15:13.240 I watch the news,

00:15:15.700 you know,

00:15:16.400 somewhat to be

00:15:17.580 informed,

00:15:19.160 but also

00:15:20.320 because it's funny

00:15:21.440 so often.

00:15:22.860 Now,

00:15:23.080 what would be funnier

00:15:24.240 than Trump

00:15:25.540 making the fake news

00:15:26.900 cover the real news

00:15:28.100 that the President

00:15:28.780 of the United States

00:15:29.540 calls the fake news

00:15:30.640 the fake news?

00:15:32.840 Let me read that again

00:15:34.200 because I'm so proud of it.

00:15:35.960 I wrote this.

00:15:37.540 What is funnier

00:15:38.340 than Trump

00:15:39.520 making the fake news

00:15:40.840 cover the real news

00:15:42.040 that the President

00:15:43.160 of the United States

00:15:44.000 calls the fake news

00:15:45.080 the fake news?

00:15:46.580 Nothing.

00:15:47.240 There's nothing funnier

00:15:48.240 than that.

00:15:50.040 The fact that Trump

00:15:51.520 has made the fake news

00:15:53.320 punch themselves

00:15:54.120 on air.

00:15:55.420 I've got a message

00:15:56.440 from the President.

00:15:57.580 Oh,

00:15:58.040 oh,

00:15:58.360 stop hitting me.

00:15:59.400 No,

00:16:00.200 I can't.

00:16:02.340 Now,

00:16:02.960 that's funny.

00:16:04.980 All right.

00:16:08.600 Joy Reid

00:16:09.680 was a guest

00:16:11.020 on Pierce Morgan's show

00:16:12.700 and he shows

00:16:14.900 a video of her

00:16:15.640 crying after getting

00:16:16.780 fired from MSNBC

00:16:18.360 and she claimed

00:16:20.800 that part of the reason

00:16:22.940 she got fired

00:16:23.700 is that she's

00:16:24.880 a black woman

00:16:25.920 and Pierce Morgan

00:16:28.260 pushed back

00:16:28.960 and he said,

00:16:29.420 let's be honest,

00:16:30.500 I don't think

00:16:31.260 you were fired

00:16:31.900 after all those years

00:16:33.120 because of your skin color

00:16:34.920 or because you're

00:16:36.100 a black woman.

00:16:36.820 so I'm going

00:16:40.900 to side

00:16:41.300 with Joy Reid

00:16:42.260 who believes

00:16:44.380 she was fired

00:16:45.160 by MSNBC,

00:16:46.680 the most left-leaning

00:16:47.820 place on the earth

00:16:48.880 because of her

00:16:50.360 black woman status.

00:16:52.160 But she's not alone.

00:16:54.240 There's a pattern

00:16:54.960 that's been developed

00:16:55.860 because another

00:16:57.200 black woman

00:16:57.880 named

00:16:58.680 Stephen Colbert,

00:17:02.080 Stephen Colbert,

00:17:03.840 there's another black woman

00:17:05.200 who's been canceled.

00:17:07.020 Apparently,

00:17:07.720 she had a show

00:17:08.620 on late night,

00:17:10.820 some kind of

00:17:11.340 late night show

00:17:12.020 she had

00:17:12.540 and I never saw it

00:17:14.940 but I've heard of it.

00:17:17.380 So,

00:17:17.800 black woman

00:17:18.400 Stephen Colbert

00:17:19.500 has also been canceled.

00:17:21.740 Now,

00:17:22.120 it's not because

00:17:23.020 she apparently

00:17:24.540 said bad things

00:17:25.420 about her employer

00:17:26.240 and about the

00:17:27.960 $16 million

00:17:29.180 lawsuit

00:17:30.100 to Trump.

00:17:33.220 He calls it

00:17:34.200 a big fat bride.

00:17:35.200 but it probably

00:17:36.980 wasn't because of that.

00:17:38.420 It was probably,

00:17:39.020 wait,

00:17:39.380 what?

00:17:41.100 Somebody's telling me

00:17:42.060 that Stephen Colbert

00:17:43.940 is a

00:17:44.620 white man?

00:17:47.700 Well,

00:17:48.260 how's that possible?

00:17:49.980 I thought

00:17:50.800 they were just

00:17:51.960 canceling black women.

00:17:54.120 But he's a white man,

00:17:55.420 Canadian.

00:17:56.640 Oh,

00:17:56.900 wow.

00:17:57.760 All right,

00:17:58.080 well,

00:17:58.240 I have all that wrong

00:17:59.180 so forget everything

00:18:00.260 I said.

00:18:01.120 Turns out

00:18:01.680 Stephen Colbert

00:18:03.040 is and was

00:18:05.420 a white man.

00:18:07.380 A white man.

00:18:08.700 All right?

00:18:09.400 Good.

00:18:10.440 But the reason

00:18:11.660 for the cancellation

00:18:12.540 appears to be

00:18:13.900 low ratings.

00:18:15.700 They were

00:18:16.420 insufficient

00:18:17.160 for monetizing it.

00:18:19.200 So they were

00:18:19.580 losing money

00:18:20.180 on late night.

00:18:21.140 If you're losing

00:18:21.840 money on late night,

00:18:23.700 aren't you

00:18:25.640 probably losing

00:18:26.900 money on everything?

00:18:28.780 Because late night

00:18:29.820 used to be

00:18:30.380 the big money maker,

00:18:31.440 right?

00:18:32.120 It used to be

00:18:32.860 that Johnny Carson

00:18:33.780 was the big money maker.

00:18:39.120 Adam Schiff

00:18:40.020 was just

00:18:40.580 on Stephen Colbert.

00:18:41.720 I wonder

00:18:43.680 why they're

00:18:44.080 getting canceled.

00:18:46.280 All right,

00:18:47.280 well,

00:18:48.140 according to

00:18:51.340 Politico,

00:18:52.240 Mark Caputo,

00:18:54.120 Trump is

00:18:55.240 really serious

00:18:56.200 about turning

00:18:57.240 Alcatraz

00:18:58.120 into a

00:18:58.940 maximum security

00:18:59.880 prison.

00:19:01.480 And I guess

00:19:02.080 according,

00:19:04.300 no,

00:19:04.560 it wasn't

00:19:04.860 Politico,

00:19:05.480 it was Axios.

00:19:07.300 Axios

00:19:07.980 is saying

00:19:08.420 that officials

00:19:09.140 have made

00:19:09.620 a preliminary

00:19:11.080 cost estimate

00:19:12.200 and I guess

00:19:13.300 Bondi and

00:19:14.320 Burgum

00:19:15.240 toured it

00:19:16.480 yesterday

00:19:16.860 and it's

00:19:19.100 going to cost

00:19:19.620 $2 billion

00:19:20.360 to turn

00:19:21.980 the old

00:19:22.400 closed prison

00:19:23.520 of Alcatraz

00:19:24.200 into a new

00:19:25.180 modern prison.

00:19:26.600 Do you think

00:19:27.540 that'll actually

00:19:28.260 happen?

00:19:29.640 Why in the world

00:19:30.740 would they think

00:19:32.980 it's a good idea

00:19:33.840 to turn Alcatraz

00:19:34.920 into a prison?

00:19:36.380 there's got to

00:19:38.540 be a cheaper

00:19:39.160 way to do it

00:19:40.020 than putting it

00:19:40.800 on a stupid

00:19:41.420 island.

00:19:42.560 Wouldn't that

00:19:43.100 be the most

00:19:44.240 expensive way

00:19:45.220 you could build

00:19:45.800 a building?

00:19:47.340 On an island?

00:19:50.340 I mean,

00:19:51.120 seriously?

00:19:53.540 So,

00:19:54.300 somebody has

00:19:55.160 to ask Trump

00:19:56.060 if he's an

00:19:57.560 expert on

00:19:58.340 building stuff

00:19:59.180 and construction,

00:20:00.640 why would he

00:20:01.320 even consider

00:20:02.380 the most

00:20:04.120 expensive

00:20:04.680 building project

00:20:05.620 you could get

00:20:06.640 for something

00:20:07.440 that doesn't

00:20:08.060 need to be

00:20:08.540 a gem?

00:20:10.920 It just needs

00:20:11.560 to be functional

00:20:12.320 if it's a prison.

00:20:14.380 So,

00:20:15.260 I don't know

00:20:15.700 if this is

00:20:16.140 going to go

00:20:16.580 forward,

00:20:17.120 but I would

00:20:18.340 point out

00:20:18.960 that Trump

00:20:19.860 has already

00:20:20.400 monetized

00:20:21.100 the war.

00:20:22.820 I didn't

00:20:23.380 think anybody

00:20:24.460 could do that.

00:20:25.780 But by

00:20:26.300 getting the

00:20:26.940 U.S.

00:20:27.300 out of the

00:20:27.680 business

00:20:28.080 of funding

00:20:29.840 Ukraine

00:20:30.480 and saying

00:20:32.760 that the

00:20:33.120 only thing

00:20:33.480 we're going

00:20:33.820 to do

00:20:34.160 is sell

00:20:35.040 the Europeans

00:20:35.700 weapons

00:20:36.240 that they

00:20:36.620 can give

00:20:36.960 to Ukraine

00:20:37.460 if they

00:20:37.780 want.

00:20:39.060 And so

00:20:40.200 he monetized

00:20:41.180 the Ukraine-Russia

00:20:43.280 war,

00:20:44.100 which I'm

00:20:45.320 legitimately

00:20:46.100 impressed by.

00:20:47.420 If you

00:20:47.940 can't fix

00:20:48.780 it,

00:20:49.960 monetize

00:20:50.480 it.

00:20:51.440 Likewise,

00:20:52.600 he's added

00:20:53.740 these big

00:20:54.280 tariffs to

00:20:55.060 China

00:20:55.520 because they

00:20:57.160 have not

00:20:57.560 solved the

00:20:58.340 fentanyl

00:20:59.060 problem.

00:20:59.460 Likewise

00:21:00.680 for Mexico

00:21:01.740 and Canada,

00:21:02.880 he doesn't

00:21:03.400 like that

00:21:03.800 they've done

00:21:04.200 enough on

00:21:04.640 fentanyl,

00:21:05.500 so he's

00:21:06.320 terrifying

00:21:07.680 them.

00:21:08.880 So in

00:21:09.300 other words,

00:21:10.400 he couldn't

00:21:11.040 figure out

00:21:11.580 how to

00:21:11.920 solve

00:21:12.480 fentanyl

00:21:13.440 right away.

00:21:14.500 I mean,

00:21:14.700 he's doing

00:21:15.100 all the

00:21:15.400 normal law

00:21:15.940 enforcement

00:21:16.320 things,

00:21:17.200 and they're

00:21:17.540 doing well,

00:21:18.420 but it's a

00:21:19.180 really big

00:21:19.560 problem.

00:21:20.960 So instead

00:21:21.500 of solving

00:21:23.180 it,

00:21:24.040 he monetized

00:21:24.940 it.

00:21:25.880 He monetized

00:21:26.920 overdose deaths,

00:21:28.880 which I have

00:21:29.440 no problem

00:21:29.920 with.

00:21:30.620 I mean,

00:21:30.840 if you

00:21:31.120 can't

00:21:31.440 solve it,

00:21:32.140 and you're

00:21:32.420 trying as

00:21:32.860 hard as

00:21:33.220 you can,

00:21:33.960 it'd be one

00:21:34.420 thing if he

00:21:34.960 weren't trying

00:21:35.420 to solve it

00:21:36.040 legitimately,

00:21:37.060 but he's

00:21:37.600 also trying

00:21:38.320 to solve

00:21:38.780 it.

00:21:39.800 But until

00:21:40.340 you do,

00:21:41.440 you might

00:21:41.800 as well

00:21:42.020 monetize

00:21:42.600 it,

00:21:43.820 which is

00:21:44.820 so genius

00:21:45.660 that I

00:21:48.120 don't even

00:21:48.420 have words

00:21:48.880 to describe

00:21:49.560 it.

00:21:50.000 It's like,

00:21:50.360 why didn't

00:21:50.680 anybody else

00:21:51.380 think of

00:21:51.740 that,

00:21:52.700 that you

00:21:53.020 could wait

00:21:53.480 a little bit

00:21:53.960 longer if

00:21:54.500 you're

00:21:54.720 monetizing

00:21:55.320 it?

00:21:55.540 So when

00:21:57.420 I see

00:21:57.780 that he

00:21:58.040 wants to

00:21:58.360 spend $2

00:21:58.860 billion on

00:22:00.040 Alcatraz,

00:22:01.280 I wonder,

00:22:02.560 does he

00:22:02.860 have a plan

00:22:03.400 for monetizing

00:22:04.360 that?

00:22:06.020 You know,

00:22:06.280 will he do,

00:22:07.980 maybe they'll

00:22:08.680 just keep

00:22:09.200 doing tours?

00:22:11.920 Because right

00:22:12.660 now,

00:22:13.060 I think he

00:22:13.980 can still do

00:22:14.680 it.

00:22:14.940 You can do

00:22:15.400 a tour of

00:22:16.280 Alcatraz.

00:22:17.880 You know,

00:22:18.220 it's like a

00:22:18.780 paid tour.

00:22:19.300 Well,

00:22:21.640 maybe he's

00:22:22.100 going to

00:22:22.340 do that,

00:22:22.920 but have

00:22:23.500 actual

00:22:23.960 prisoners

00:22:24.500 there to

00:22:25.020 make the

00:22:25.360 tour that

00:22:25.840 much better.

00:22:27.320 So maybe

00:22:28.420 he's figured

00:22:28.860 out a way

00:22:29.260 to monetize

00:22:29.940 that,

00:22:30.320 but I

00:22:31.240 haven't

00:22:31.800 heard it.

00:22:33.000 Well,

00:22:33.300 in other

00:22:33.540 news,

00:22:34.560 Trump has

00:22:36.120 a medical

00:22:36.920 condition that's

00:22:37.980 not really

00:22:38.420 serious,

00:22:39.620 but he

00:22:40.280 has some

00:22:40.600 leg swelling

00:22:41.540 that's called

00:22:43.080 chronic

00:22:43.660 venous

00:22:44.200 insufficiency.

00:22:45.360 So it's

00:22:45.680 just something

00:22:46.200 that happens

00:22:46.700 to old

00:22:47.060 people.

00:22:48.260 Their veins

00:22:48.800 lose

00:22:49.200 their little

00:22:49.620 valves,

00:22:50.160 according to

00:22:51.460 Dr. Drew.

00:22:53.340 And then

00:22:54.600 you get a

00:22:55.140 little swelling

00:22:55.680 in your

00:22:55.980 legs.

00:22:56.500 So it's

00:22:56.820 common for

00:22:57.440 people who

00:22:57.880 are over

00:22:58.100 70.

00:22:59.500 And then

00:23:00.160 allegedly,

00:23:01.460 Trump has

00:23:02.000 some kind

00:23:02.480 of hand

00:23:03.580 injury from

00:23:05.140 shaking hands

00:23:06.080 a lot and

00:23:07.220 also being on

00:23:08.020 some kind

00:23:08.440 of aspirin

00:23:09.740 regimen.

00:23:11.060 Do I have

00:23:11.500 that right?

00:23:13.120 That they're

00:23:14.220 genuinely saying

00:23:15.140 he has a

00:23:16.020 hand injury

00:23:16.780 from shaking

00:23:17.460 hands too

00:23:18.000 much?

00:23:18.320 while being

00:23:19.380 on an

00:23:19.920 aspirin

00:23:20.380 regimen?

00:23:21.920 Maybe.

00:23:23.680 I suppose

00:23:24.640 that's entirely

00:23:25.280 possible.

00:23:26.840 But it

00:23:27.720 sounds like

00:23:28.200 such a

00:23:28.700 Trump

00:23:29.020 excuse.

00:23:30.320 Well,

00:23:30.780 I was

00:23:31.160 working so

00:23:31.800 hard,

00:23:33.000 shaking so

00:23:33.540 many hands

00:23:34.160 in disaster

00:23:36.780 zones that,

00:23:38.360 you know,

00:23:39.060 I got

00:23:39.420 injured.

00:23:41.500 So you

00:23:42.300 got that

00:23:42.620 going on.

00:23:43.120 meanwhile,

00:23:45.980 CNN has

00:23:46.680 some polling

00:23:47.260 information,

00:23:48.520 Gunther

00:23:48.900 Eagleman

00:23:49.500 on X

00:23:50.000 is pointing

00:23:50.580 this out,

00:23:51.880 where even

00:23:52.940 CNN is

00:23:53.660 saying that

00:23:55.160 Trump's

00:23:56.300 approval rating

00:23:57.220 got higher

00:23:58.500 after the

00:24:00.640 Epstein

00:24:01.400 online

00:24:02.220 controversy.

00:24:03.020 Now,

00:24:04.220 are you

00:24:04.500 surprised

00:24:05.080 that

00:24:06.580 Trump's

00:24:07.160 popularity

00:24:08.140 went up

00:24:09.100 after it

00:24:11.080 was found

00:24:11.520 that he

00:24:11.880 didn't find

00:24:12.380 anything on

00:24:13.000 Epstein?

00:24:14.080 Well,

00:24:14.720 I feel like

00:24:15.360 people are

00:24:15.780 responding to

00:24:16.440 all the

00:24:16.800 actual

00:24:17.580 accomplishments,

00:24:18.960 and I feel

00:24:19.780 like if you

00:24:20.540 went into

00:24:20.920 the public

00:24:21.500 and you

00:24:22.400 said,

00:24:23.640 hey,

00:24:24.460 how much

00:24:25.120 do you

00:24:25.420 care about

00:24:25.860 this

00:24:26.160 Epstein

00:24:26.560 thing?

00:24:27.960 It's

00:24:28.560 only the

00:24:28.940 people like

00:24:29.360 us,

00:24:30.200 the people

00:24:30.660 who would

00:24:31.120 tune into

00:24:32.320 a political

00:24:33.740 show,

00:24:34.500 or the

00:24:35.300 people who

00:24:35.720 would give

00:24:36.080 a podcast

00:24:36.560 about politics,

00:24:37.640 me.

00:24:38.540 I don't

00:24:39.240 think other

00:24:39.680 people care.

00:24:41.620 And so

00:24:42.360 far,

00:24:42.760 they haven't

00:24:43.200 been given

00:24:43.660 a reason

00:24:44.100 to care.

00:24:45.500 So I

00:24:46.560 think the

00:24:46.940 public,

00:24:47.860 wisely,

00:24:48.840 is saying,

00:24:49.700 well,

00:24:50.300 if the

00:24:50.660 economy is

00:24:51.340 looking good

00:24:52.160 and we're

00:24:54.700 monetizing

00:24:55.400 that war

00:24:55.940 we don't

00:24:56.380 care about,

00:24:56.980 well,

00:24:58.960 maybe we

00:24:59.500 like this

00:24:59.980 guy.

00:25:03.000 But very

00:25:03.920 few

00:25:04.300 Republicans

00:25:04.860 said the

00:25:05.920 top issue

00:25:06.520 was the

00:25:06.940 Epstein

00:25:07.220 case.

00:25:10.140 Yeah.

00:25:11.620 There was

00:25:12.100 only one

00:25:12.740 person in

00:25:13.540 the entire

00:25:13.980 poll,

00:25:14.460 not one

00:25:14.980 percent,

00:25:16.160 but one

00:25:16.720 person who

00:25:18.120 said the

00:25:18.560 Epstein

00:25:18.940 thing was

00:25:19.580 the biggest

00:25:19.980 issue.

00:25:21.200 Just one.

00:25:22.220 One person

00:25:22.860 in the

00:25:23.320 entire

00:25:23.560 world.

00:25:25.120 Well,

00:25:25.800 in the

00:25:26.000 country,

00:25:26.320 who was

00:25:26.840 Republican.

00:25:29.300 Meanwhile,

00:25:30.160 also on

00:25:30.780 CNN,

00:25:31.660 Scott

00:25:32.100 Jennings

00:25:32.540 is

00:25:32.800 reporting

00:25:33.240 that,

00:25:34.380 quote,

00:25:34.760 I sat

00:25:35.260 next to

00:25:35.740 a real

00:25:36.120 life

00:25:36.420 ear

00:25:37.020 truther.

00:25:38.240 Now,

00:25:38.680 an ear

00:25:39.180 truther

00:25:39.700 is someone

00:25:40.820 who doesn't

00:25:41.360 believe that

00:25:41.920 Trump was

00:25:43.240 shot in the

00:25:43.760 ear in

00:25:44.520 Butler,

00:25:44.940 Pennsylvania,

00:25:46.100 and that

00:25:46.440 maybe made

00:25:47.100 the whole

00:25:47.360 thing up to

00:25:47.820 be more

00:25:48.160 popular.

00:25:48.580 CNN

00:25:51.460 actually had

00:25:52.440 somebody at

00:25:53.100 the table

00:25:53.660 who made

00:25:54.860 the claim

00:25:55.400 that he

00:25:55.740 doesn't

00:25:56.360 necessarily

00:25:57.040 believe the

00:25:57.760 ear was

00:25:58.440 really shot.

00:25:59.960 And the

00:26:00.260 host,

00:26:01.160 Abby

00:26:01.420 Phillip,

00:26:02.540 she couldn't

00:26:03.400 let that

00:26:03.800 go.

00:26:04.320 Now,

00:26:04.580 to her

00:26:04.940 credit,

00:26:06.140 she made

00:26:06.720 sure that

00:26:07.180 her viewers

00:26:07.720 knew he

00:26:08.740 got shot

00:26:09.220 in the

00:26:09.440 ear.

00:26:10.360 We're not

00:26:11.180 questioning

00:26:11.700 that he

00:26:12.100 got shot

00:26:12.560 in the

00:26:12.760 ear.

00:26:12.880 he got

00:26:13.660 shot

00:26:13.940 in the

00:26:14.140 ear.

00:26:16.000 But

00:26:16.600 they're

00:26:17.720 making

00:26:18.060 Scott

00:26:18.520 Jennings'

00:26:19.200 job so

00:26:20.040 easy that

00:26:21.360 all he

00:26:21.720 has to

00:26:22.000 do is

00:26:22.280 mock the

00:26:23.320 person next

00:26:23.980 to him.

00:26:25.460 And that's

00:26:26.140 good,

00:26:26.420 entertaining

00:26:26.780 TV.

00:26:28.400 So,

00:26:29.160 good for

00:26:29.560 you.

00:26:32.700 Also,

00:26:33.640 CNN,

00:26:34.800 they're

00:26:37.120 reading that

00:26:37.780 in their

00:26:38.300 latest

00:26:38.640 poll,

00:26:39.960 the

00:26:40.080 Democratic

00:26:40.620 Party is

00:26:41.680 at their

00:26:42.020 lowest

00:26:42.420 favorite

00:26:42.860 favorability

00:26:43.320 since

00:26:44.740 1992.

00:26:47.740 But,

00:26:48.580 it's not

00:26:49.780 as if the

00:26:50.280 Democrats

00:26:50.740 have given

00:26:51.220 up.

00:26:52.300 Sure.

00:26:53.180 You know,

00:26:53.500 maybe they

00:26:54.160 haven't done

00:26:54.620 well lately.

00:26:56.020 And maybe

00:26:56.840 their popularity

00:26:57.820 or their

00:26:58.580 favorability

00:26:59.240 is at the

00:27:00.360 lowest level

00:27:00.960 since 1992.

00:27:02.980 But,

00:27:03.640 here's the

00:27:04.280 good news

00:27:04.780 for them.

00:27:05.940 They have

00:27:06.480 a plan

00:27:07.120 to come

00:27:07.900 back.

00:27:08.740 Are you

00:27:09.000 ready for

00:27:09.360 this?

00:27:12.000 Apparently,

00:27:12.560 Democrats

00:27:13.300 are trying

00:27:14.020 to roll

00:27:15.320 out a

00:27:15.820 new

00:27:16.280 tone.

00:27:18.340 So,

00:27:18.620 they had

00:27:18.860 a retreat

00:27:19.740 in which

00:27:20.500 the Democrats

00:27:22.120 got together

00:27:22.740 to strategize

00:27:23.960 what to do

00:27:25.040 differently.

00:27:26.080 And,

00:27:26.360 of course,

00:27:26.680 they noticed

00:27:27.240 that Trump

00:27:28.200 is doing

00:27:29.380 well.

00:27:30.300 So,

00:27:30.520 they're saying,

00:27:31.240 all right,

00:27:32.300 why don't we

00:27:33.200 do more of

00:27:34.180 what Trump

00:27:34.720 is doing?

00:27:35.920 What do

00:27:36.540 do you

00:27:36.640 think that

00:27:37.140 is?

00:27:38.040 Well,

00:27:38.440 he uses

00:27:38.800 social media

00:27:39.620 a lot.

00:27:41.680 He's

00:27:42.000 authentic

00:27:42.580 and less

00:27:43.560 scripted.

00:27:44.680 And,

00:27:45.120 he does

00:27:45.460 more cursing.

00:27:47.620 And,

00:27:47.960 they also

00:27:48.540 suggested

00:27:49.140 that they

00:27:50.220 use more

00:27:50.740 Trump-like

00:27:51.480 insults.

00:27:53.520 So,

00:27:54.600 good for

00:27:55.820 the Democrats.

00:27:56.960 They're staying

00:27:57.520 away from

00:27:57.960 policy discussions

00:27:59.100 because they

00:27:59.780 don't do so

00:28:00.340 well on that.

00:28:00.940 and they've

00:28:01.820 decided that

00:28:03.020 the thing

00:28:03.420 they hate

00:28:03.920 most about

00:28:04.580 Trump is

00:28:05.780 the part

00:28:06.140 they're going

00:28:06.500 to copy.

00:28:08.500 That's right.

00:28:09.440 The part

00:28:10.000 they hate

00:28:10.560 the most,

00:28:11.720 which is

00:28:12.260 his personality

00:28:13.220 and his

00:28:13.660 character,

00:28:14.880 they've decided

00:28:15.500 that's the part

00:28:16.140 they're going

00:28:16.460 to copy

00:28:16.940 instead of

00:28:18.880 coming up

00:28:20.000 with good

00:28:20.440 ideas for

00:28:21.040 the country.

00:28:23.820 I tell you,

00:28:24.940 when I say

00:28:25.780 that I watch

00:28:26.340 the news

00:28:26.900 for the humor,

00:28:29.020 this is it.

00:28:29.860 it doesn't

00:28:31.100 get better

00:28:31.460 than this.

00:28:33.940 But,

00:28:34.620 Senator Chris

00:28:36.100 Murphy said,

00:28:37.820 in the wake

00:28:38.300 of Trump,

00:28:38.880 it's really

00:28:39.280 important for

00:28:39.840 us to

00:28:40.180 understand

00:28:40.760 that

00:28:41.460 authenticity

00:28:42.260 is the

00:28:43.280 coin of

00:28:43.760 the realm.

00:28:44.740 The voters

00:28:45.200 can smell

00:28:45.980 insincerity

00:28:46.780 more acutely

00:28:47.640 than ever

00:28:48.360 before.

00:28:49.280 They know

00:28:49.860 when you're

00:28:50.280 using talking

00:28:51.000 points or

00:28:51.760 poll-tested

00:28:52.480 language.

00:28:54.560 So,

00:28:55.760 you tell

00:28:56.900 me if I'm

00:28:57.480 going too

00:28:58.000 far.

00:28:58.340 we've been

00:28:59.720 saying that

00:29:00.600 Democrats

00:29:01.000 are the

00:29:01.580 theater kids

00:29:02.420 and you're

00:29:03.840 probably hearing

00:29:04.460 a lot that

00:29:05.320 a lot of

00:29:05.660 their complaints

00:29:06.260 are,

00:29:07.320 quote,

00:29:07.480 performative.

00:29:09.320 And everything

00:29:10.340 seems like

00:29:11.320 they're acting.

00:29:13.620 They're literally

00:29:14.740 performing

00:29:15.560 and they're

00:29:17.360 ignoring policy

00:29:18.340 and they're

00:29:19.220 putting on

00:29:19.640 little shows

00:29:20.480 that are so

00:29:21.780 lame

00:29:22.300 and so

00:29:23.840 cringeworthy

00:29:25.340 that it

00:29:26.440 makes me

00:29:27.260 think,

00:29:28.120 oh,

00:29:29.280 those who

00:29:30.180 can't act

00:29:31.100 become actors.

00:29:33.040 Those who

00:29:33.780 can't act

00:29:34.800 become

00:29:36.160 acting coaches.

00:29:38.540 Those who

00:29:39.420 can't act

00:29:40.260 and can't

00:29:40.960 become,

00:29:41.760 and are not

00:29:42.420 good enough

00:29:42.860 to be acting

00:29:43.460 coaches

00:29:43.920 become politicians,

00:29:46.160 specifically Democrats.

00:29:47.680 so apparently

00:29:48.920 that's the

00:29:49.480 fallback position

00:29:50.620 if you

00:29:51.240 didn't make

00:29:51.720 it in

00:29:51.960 Hollywood.

00:29:52.880 Well,

00:29:54.000 maybe I

00:29:54.560 could run

00:29:54.920 for office.

00:29:56.640 You know,

00:29:56.920 I didn't make

00:29:57.640 that a sitcom,

00:29:58.520 but I feel

00:29:59.740 like I could

00:30:00.340 be a

00:30:00.840 representative

00:30:01.540 from some

00:30:02.740 state.

00:30:03.080 Well,

00:30:06.320 so the

00:30:07.760 latest thing

00:30:08.440 the Democrats,

00:30:09.260 and this

00:30:09.980 is an

00:30:10.480 exclusive,

00:30:11.360 I have an

00:30:11.900 exclusive

00:30:12.520 scoop.

00:30:13.960 So this

00:30:14.300 is,

00:30:14.640 you won't

00:30:15.040 see this

00:30:15.500 on any

00:30:16.160 other

00:30:16.400 network

00:30:16.900 or any

00:30:17.640 other

00:30:18.060 podcast.

00:30:19.820 You ready?

00:30:20.880 I don't do

00:30:21.460 this a lot,

00:30:22.800 so this

00:30:23.300 is an

00:30:23.960 exclusive

00:30:25.340 Scott Adams

00:30:27.180 coffee

00:30:27.860 scoop.

00:30:30.160 The Democrats

00:30:30.760 are so anxious

00:30:31.840 to copy

00:30:32.900 Trump that

00:30:34.300 they're trying

00:30:34.760 to figure

00:30:35.120 out how

00:30:35.460 to make

00:30:35.720 their legs

00:30:36.400 swell.

00:30:39.640 And their

00:30:40.540 hands have

00:30:41.340 a bruise.

00:30:43.200 Why?

00:30:44.480 Well,

00:30:45.260 they can't

00:30:46.440 tell what

00:30:46.820 the important

00:30:47.280 parts are.

00:30:49.360 They just

00:30:50.220 think if

00:30:51.260 Trump is

00:30:51.800 doing it,

00:30:52.780 and Trump

00:30:53.240 is being

00:30:53.660 successful,

00:30:54.780 it must be

00:30:55.620 something to

00:30:56.180 imitate.

00:30:57.100 So now

00:30:57.460 they're trying

00:30:57.760 to figure

00:30:58.100 out how

00:30:58.360 to make

00:30:58.580 their legs

00:30:59.120 swell.

00:31:01.960 That's

00:31:02.520 my exclusive.

00:31:04.100 And of

00:31:04.400 course it's

00:31:05.100 true.

00:31:06.180 I wouldn't

00:31:06.620 make that

00:31:07.040 up,

00:31:07.300 would I?

00:31:08.660 Maybe.

00:31:09.420 Maybe I

00:31:09.900 would.

00:31:12.280 Well,

00:31:12.860 the big

00:31:13.300 news of

00:31:13.860 the day,

00:31:14.240 because it's

00:31:14.800 the summer,

00:31:15.740 and you get

00:31:16.160 all the weird

00:31:16.680 news in the

00:31:17.320 summer,

00:31:17.980 is that

00:31:18.780 the Wall

00:31:19.260 Street Journal

00:31:19.720 did a

00:31:20.640 big feature

00:31:21.300 article in

00:31:22.620 which they're

00:31:23.180 trying to

00:31:24.220 draw a

00:31:25.640 picture of

00:31:26.420 Donald Trump

00:31:27.140 and Epstein

00:31:28.100 as good

00:31:28.860 friends for

00:31:29.980 many years.

00:31:31.380 Now,

00:31:32.560 are you as

00:31:33.380 blown away

00:31:34.780 as I am

00:31:35.380 that this

00:31:36.440 Epstein story

00:31:37.560 started out

00:31:38.960 as one

00:31:39.380 thing,

00:31:40.540 and Trump's

00:31:41.640 involvement

00:31:42.100 was,

00:31:42.800 oh,

00:31:43.700 yeah,

00:31:44.420 it's true

00:31:44.680 that Epstein

00:31:45.200 lived in the

00:31:45.880 same town

00:31:46.580 in Palms,

00:31:47.420 what is it,

00:31:49.200 wherever that

00:31:49.800 is in

00:31:50.140 Florida,

00:31:51.100 and it's

00:31:52.260 true that

00:31:53.800 he did go

00:31:54.580 to Mar-a-Lago

00:31:55.380 at some

00:31:55.860 events,

00:31:56.500 but Trump

00:31:58.640 found out

00:31:59.600 that he

00:32:00.000 was a

00:32:01.120 dirtbag

00:32:01.680 and had

00:32:02.740 him banned

00:32:03.300 from Mar-a-Lago.

00:32:05.260 So,

00:32:05.760 for now

00:32:06.680 several years,

00:32:08.260 I believe

00:32:08.840 that their

00:32:09.500 interactions

00:32:11.220 were minor

00:32:12.040 and that he

00:32:13.280 wasn't a big

00:32:13.840 fan of him

00:32:14.460 and he

00:32:14.920 eventually

00:32:15.280 banned him.

00:32:17.280 Now,

00:32:18.020 it turns

00:32:18.400 out,

00:32:18.860 according to

00:32:20.820 witnesses

00:32:21.800 and new

00:32:22.440 reporting,

00:32:23.720 that Epstein

00:32:24.320 and Trump

00:32:24.860 were something

00:32:25.440 like best

00:32:26.080 friends and

00:32:27.820 for something

00:32:28.540 like,

00:32:29.080 I don't know,

00:32:29.460 15 years

00:32:30.280 or something,

00:32:31.400 they hung

00:32:32.140 out a lot

00:32:32.880 and they

00:32:34.080 would do

00:32:34.700 things together

00:32:35.560 a lot.

00:32:37.800 Now,

00:32:38.540 how in the

00:32:39.580 world are

00:32:40.140 we just

00:32:40.860 finding that

00:32:41.640 out?

00:32:42.700 Is that

00:32:43.460 weird?

00:32:44.440 I feel like

00:32:45.440 reality itself

00:32:46.660 is just

00:32:48.100 bending.

00:32:48.580 and it

00:32:54.500 can't be

00:32:55.420 true

00:32:55.880 that it

00:32:57.020 took us

00:32:57.440 this long

00:32:57.960 to find

00:32:58.400 out that

00:32:58.940 they were

00:32:59.200 not only

00:32:59.800 associated

00:33:02.600 with each

00:33:03.280 other,

00:33:03.980 but they

00:33:04.680 had a

00:33:05.040 really strong

00:33:05.980 association

00:33:06.640 and there's

00:33:07.220 a reason

00:33:07.680 that Trump

00:33:08.700 was on his

00:33:09.280 plane a bunch

00:33:09.920 of times.

00:33:11.040 Now,

00:33:11.220 one of the

00:33:11.560 questions that

00:33:12.460 was asked

00:33:13.000 by,

00:33:15.040 was it

00:33:15.800 Mark

00:33:16.180 Halperin

00:33:16.720 asking this?

00:33:17.360 I forget

00:33:17.760 who asked.

00:33:19.240 It might

00:33:19.520 have been

00:33:19.720 him on

00:33:20.340 his two-way

00:33:21.400 pod,

00:33:21.920 which is

00:33:22.260 really good.

00:33:25.180 We don't

00:33:26.020 know,

00:33:26.880 and nobody

00:33:27.520 has asked,

00:33:28.700 how many

00:33:29.160 times did

00:33:30.120 Trump go

00:33:31.020 to Epstein's

00:33:32.040 homes in

00:33:33.040 the United

00:33:33.380 States?

00:33:34.760 Don't know.

00:33:35.760 How many

00:33:36.320 times did

00:33:37.200 Epstein

00:33:37.680 visit Trump

00:33:39.740 in any of

00:33:40.440 his locations?

00:33:42.480 Don't know.

00:33:44.220 Isn't it

00:33:44.740 weird that we

00:33:45.280 don't know

00:33:45.640 that?

00:33:46.000 Wouldn't

00:33:47.840 those be

00:33:48.260 the obvious

00:33:48.800 questions?

00:33:49.920 So the

00:33:50.300 fact that

00:33:50.820 this Epstein

00:33:51.540 story gets

00:33:52.760 deeper and

00:33:53.680 more weird

00:33:54.420 every day,

00:33:55.380 it's just

00:33:56.720 blowing me

00:33:57.200 away.

00:33:58.260 Like,

00:33:58.680 you thought

00:33:59.400 you knew

00:33:59.820 the general

00:34:00.400 contours of

00:34:01.240 the story.

00:34:02.320 How in the

00:34:02.860 world are

00:34:03.260 we still

00:34:03.720 finding out

00:34:04.300 things about

00:34:05.100 it?

00:34:06.120 I don't

00:34:06.380 know.

00:34:19.940 Scotiabank,

00:34:20.680 you're richer

00:34:21.160 than you

00:34:21.500 think.

00:34:23.140 Anyway,

00:34:24.040 so the

00:34:24.600 news story

00:34:25.120 from the

00:34:25.460 Wall Street

00:34:25.740 Journal is

00:34:26.420 that when

00:34:27.680 Epstein

00:34:28.020 turned 50,

00:34:29.260 Ghislaine

00:34:29.560 Maxwell

00:34:30.040 organized a

00:34:31.080 bunch of

00:34:32.280 birthday cards

00:34:33.860 that she

00:34:35.000 put in

00:34:35.420 a binder

00:34:36.000 and they

00:34:37.220 were from

00:34:37.600 prominent

00:34:38.160 people and

00:34:38.740 friends and

00:34:39.220 stuff.

00:34:39.820 And

00:34:39.920 allegedly,

00:34:40.840 one of the

00:34:41.580 birthday cards

00:34:42.420 to Epstein

00:34:42.900 was written

00:34:44.640 and a little

00:34:45.540 drawing was

00:34:46.240 put in it

00:34:46.780 by Trump.

00:34:48.400 Now,

00:34:48.980 Trump says

00:34:49.640 it's a

00:34:50.500 fraud and

00:34:51.800 that he

00:34:52.380 did not

00:34:52.840 write that

00:34:53.280 message.

00:34:53.720 I'll tell

00:34:54.000 you what the

00:34:54.320 message is

00:34:54.860 in a little

00:34:55.180 bit.

00:34:56.020 But it

00:34:56.420 was kind

00:34:57.140 of a

00:34:57.480 personal

00:34:57.940 message that

00:34:58.720 looked like

00:34:59.140 they had

00:34:59.460 secrets and

00:35:01.340 suddenly that's

00:35:02.700 the story.

00:35:03.860 Now,

00:35:04.420 if you

00:35:04.860 were the

00:35:05.120 Wall Street

00:35:05.600 Journal and

00:35:07.900 the biggest

00:35:08.420 part of

00:35:08.840 your story

00:35:09.440 is that

00:35:10.420 they had

00:35:10.820 seen a

00:35:11.900 oh,

00:35:12.660 there it

00:35:12.940 is.

00:35:13.880 Is that

00:35:14.520 it?

00:35:16.580 Oh,

00:35:17.180 my goodness.

00:35:20.580 Oh,

00:35:20.840 my.

00:35:21.460 So,

00:35:21.780 right now,

00:35:22.520 for the

00:35:23.080 very first

00:35:23.700 time,

00:35:24.400 I'm seeing

00:35:25.020 what they

00:35:25.500 claim was

00:35:26.400 Trump's

00:35:27.560 drawing on

00:35:28.520 the card.

00:35:30.220 And what

00:35:30.560 they said

00:35:31.000 was that

00:35:31.800 he signed

00:35:33.080 his name

00:35:33.680 to look

00:35:34.080 like the

00:35:34.580 pubic

00:35:35.140 hair on

00:35:36.180 the naked

00:35:36.580 woman that

00:35:37.140 he drew.

00:35:38.320 And I'm

00:35:38.700 looking at

00:35:39.120 it for the

00:35:39.480 first time.

00:35:40.640 I guess

00:35:41.020 Mike Benz

00:35:41.700 posted it and

00:35:42.480 I'm seeing it

00:35:43.000 in the comments

00:35:43.600 now for the

00:35:44.160 first time.

00:35:45.100 It's very

00:35:45.640 obvious that

00:35:46.340 he did not

00:35:46.900 assign his

00:35:47.460 name to

00:35:49.820 be part of

00:35:50.760 her private

00:35:52.380 parts.

00:35:53.420 It's literally

00:35:54.100 he just signed

00:35:54.720 his name at

00:35:55.320 the bottom

00:35:55.660 of the

00:35:55.920 drawing.

00:35:56.940 And it

00:35:57.200 just happened

00:35:57.600 to go across

00:35:58.260 part of the

00:35:58.720 body.

00:35:58.980 So the

00:36:00.120 first thing

00:36:00.640 you need

00:36:00.980 to know

00:36:01.340 is that

00:36:02.260 the news

00:36:02.960 was completely

00:36:03.780 lying to

00:36:04.480 you that

00:36:05.460 he signed

00:36:06.000 his name

00:36:06.460 so it

00:36:06.780 looked like

00:36:07.180 pubic hair.

00:36:08.260 You would

00:36:08.940 only believe

00:36:09.600 that if

00:36:10.120 you'd never

00:36:10.500 seen it.

00:36:11.360 I'm looking

00:36:11.700 at it right

00:36:12.140 now.

00:36:13.420 And,

00:36:13.820 well,

00:36:14.560 actually,

00:36:16.160 I can show

00:36:16.980 it to you

00:36:17.520 because it's

00:36:19.260 on my other

00:36:19.800 device.

00:36:20.820 Let's see.

00:36:21.580 Can you see

00:36:21.980 that?

00:36:22.180 So look

00:36:23.900 where the

00:36:24.460 signature is

00:36:26.140 if I can

00:36:26.580 get it

00:36:26.960 so the

00:36:27.440 light doesn't

00:36:28.200 destroy it.

00:36:30.580 You can see

00:36:31.240 it a little

00:36:31.560 bit there.

00:36:33.200 But does

00:36:34.740 that look

00:36:35.120 like he

00:36:35.580 meant his

00:36:36.300 signature to

00:36:37.360 be pubic

00:36:37.940 hair?

00:36:38.720 No.

00:36:39.760 It's just

00:36:40.220 he's signing

00:36:40.780 it at the

00:36:41.240 bottom of

00:36:41.640 the drawing.

00:36:42.520 That's all.

00:36:43.860 Now,

00:36:45.100 if you've

00:36:46.320 ever seen

00:36:47.260 Trump sign

00:36:51.660 anything or

00:36:52.440 do anything,

00:36:53.220 he always

00:36:53.680 uses that

00:36:54.260 big thick

00:36:54.860 pen.

00:36:56.620 But here's

00:36:57.260 a little

00:36:57.580 drawing that

00:36:58.420 doesn't look

00:36:59.680 like the

00:37:00.100 sure hand

00:37:00.920 of Trump.

00:37:01.940 Trump has

00:37:02.440 a heavy

00:37:02.980 hand.

00:37:04.220 So even

00:37:04.680 when he's

00:37:05.640 just adding

00:37:06.060 his name,

00:37:06.860 it's like

00:37:07.220 a thick,

00:37:08.020 lots of

00:37:08.360 pressure,

00:37:09.640 you know,

00:37:09.840 really,

00:37:10.220 but the

00:37:11.700 drawing that

00:37:12.380 he is

00:37:12.740 allegedly

00:37:13.240 supposed to

00:37:14.380 have drawn

00:37:14.900 clearly is

00:37:17.360 drawn by

00:37:17.800 somebody who

00:37:19.040 doesn't have

00:37:19.480 that style

00:37:20.100 of drawing.

00:37:21.660 clearly.

00:37:25.700 Yeah,

00:37:26.360 it doesn't

00:37:26.840 look like

00:37:27.260 his handwriting,

00:37:28.320 right?

00:37:29.040 So it

00:37:29.780 does look

00:37:30.500 like

00:37:31.360 somebody

00:37:32.860 drew that

00:37:33.400 in there.

00:37:33.900 Maybe

00:37:34.240 auto pen,

00:37:34.980 huh?

00:37:36.040 Maybe

00:37:36.520 Biden's

00:37:37.040 auto pen

00:37:37.540 drew it.

00:37:39.680 So,

00:37:40.640 the,

00:37:42.040 let me

00:37:42.740 give you

00:37:43.000 my take

00:37:43.480 on it

00:37:43.780 after I

00:37:44.120 tell you

00:37:44.360 what it

00:37:44.640 says.

00:37:45.760 So,

00:37:46.400 apparently

00:37:46.780 the letter,

00:37:47.920 maybe the

00:37:48.520 other part

00:37:48.920 of the

00:37:49.160 card,

00:37:49.480 had some

00:37:51.440 words on

00:37:51.940 it that

00:37:53.940 I'll read

00:37:54.340 to you.

00:37:55.520 Happy

00:37:56.000 birthday,

00:37:56.700 and may

00:37:57.160 every day

00:37:57.780 be another

00:37:58.420 wonderful

00:37:58.960 secret.

00:37:59.660 That was

00:37:59.840 part of

00:38:00.160 it.

00:38:00.440 But let

00:38:00.840 me give

00:38:01.040 you the

00:38:01.220 whole thing.

00:38:02.900 So,

00:38:03.400 it said

00:38:04.040 voiceover.

00:38:06.140 So,

00:38:06.740 it used

00:38:06.980 the words

00:38:07.400 voiceover,

00:38:08.220 colon,

00:38:09.000 there must

00:38:10.000 be more

00:38:10.360 to life

00:38:10.720 than having

00:38:11.200 everything.

00:38:13.620 Then it

00:38:14.240 said,

00:38:14.940 Donald,

00:38:15.800 Donald,

00:38:16.480 colon,

00:38:17.040 as if

00:38:17.460 Donald is

00:38:18.000 saying this.

00:38:18.940 Yes,

00:38:19.300 there is,

00:38:20.040 but I

00:38:20.460 won't tell

00:38:20.900 you what

00:38:21.220 it is.

00:38:23.140 And then

00:38:23.540 Jeffrey,

00:38:24.180 colon,

00:38:24.960 nor will

00:38:25.440 I,

00:38:25.880 since I

00:38:26.240 also know

00:38:26.700 what it

00:38:27.000 is.

00:38:27.860 Donald,

00:38:28.420 we have

00:38:28.940 certain

00:38:29.260 things in

00:38:29.800 common,

00:38:30.300 Jeffrey.

00:38:31.220 Jeffrey,

00:38:31.960 yes,

00:38:32.300 we do,

00:38:32.800 come to

00:38:33.080 think of

00:38:33.400 it.

00:38:34.160 Donald,

00:38:34.920 enigmas

00:38:35.480 never age.

00:38:36.520 Have you

00:38:36.740 noticed that?

00:38:38.160 Jeffrey,

00:38:38.860 as a matter

00:38:39.340 of fact,

00:38:39.800 it was clear

00:38:40.440 to me the

00:38:41.600 last time

00:38:42.140 I saw

00:38:42.520 you.

00:38:44.500 Donald,

00:38:45.280 a pal

00:38:45.680 is a

00:38:46.020 wonderful

00:38:46.300 thing.

00:38:47.180 Happy

00:38:47.420 birthday.

00:38:48.000 And may

00:38:48.640 every day

00:38:49.140 be another

00:38:49.660 wonderful

00:38:50.120 secret.

00:38:52.440 All right.

00:38:53.640 Now,

00:38:54.760 this would

00:38:55.940 have happened

00:38:56.540 allegedly before

00:38:58.040 we knew

00:38:58.680 everything about

00:38:59.460 Epstein's

00:39:00.140 activities.

00:39:01.440 So,

00:39:02.160 it would

00:39:02.500 not be

00:39:02.920 surprising

00:39:03.420 if Trump

00:39:04.620 signed a

00:39:05.780 birthday card

00:39:06.580 for Epstein

00:39:07.300 because it

00:39:07.840 was before

00:39:08.300 Epstein was

00:39:09.000 in trouble

00:39:09.440 and they

00:39:09.900 knew each

00:39:10.220 other.

00:39:11.500 However,

00:39:12.540 I just

00:39:12.980 asked

00:39:13.400 Grock.

00:39:15.020 I put in

00:39:16.000 the alleged

00:39:16.940 writing that

00:39:17.800 is allegedly

00:39:18.420 from Trump

00:39:19.280 and I

00:39:20.300 said,

00:39:21.320 Grock,

00:39:22.000 does this

00:39:22.680 match the

00:39:23.300 style of

00:39:24.360 Trump such

00:39:25.880 that it

00:39:27.400 would look

00:39:27.720 like he

00:39:28.120 really wrote

00:39:28.620 it?

00:39:29.400 Do you know

00:39:29.780 what Grock

00:39:30.280 said?

00:39:31.460 Nope.

00:39:33.360 Did I have

00:39:34.400 to ask

00:39:34.840 Grock if it

00:39:36.020 matched

00:39:36.340 Trump's

00:39:36.920 style?

00:39:37.960 Nope.

00:39:38.960 Did any

00:39:39.800 of us need

00:39:40.360 to ask

00:39:40.960 anybody if

00:39:41.860 that was

00:39:42.340 Trump's

00:39:42.940 writing?

00:39:44.220 Nope.

00:39:44.600 It

00:39:45.180 obviously

00:39:45.600 isn't.

00:39:46.860 Now,

00:39:47.320 you might

00:39:47.960 recall that

00:39:50.400 Trump weirdly

00:39:51.280 said that he

00:39:52.240 thought that

00:39:52.880 things had

00:39:53.420 been added to

00:39:54.340 the Epstein

00:39:54.860 file that

00:39:56.980 were just

00:39:57.300 made up,

00:39:58.400 you know,

00:39:58.600 maybe by

00:39:59.100 Comey and

00:40:00.080 who knows

00:40:00.540 who else.

00:40:01.680 And when I

00:40:02.440 heard that,

00:40:02.880 I thought to

00:40:03.220 myself,

00:40:03.640 really?

00:40:04.940 He's going

00:40:05.640 to try to

00:40:06.100 convince us

00:40:06.780 that just

00:40:07.760 made up

00:40:08.400 stuff was

00:40:09.740 added to

00:40:10.180 the file?

00:40:10.580 I don't

00:40:11.660 believe that

00:40:12.180 made up

00:40:12.940 stuff was

00:40:14.140 added to

00:40:14.580 the file.

00:40:15.760 And then

00:40:16.520 this comes

00:40:17.080 out.

00:40:18.140 And this

00:40:18.440 is not part

00:40:19.440 of the

00:40:19.640 Epstein

00:40:19.920 files.

00:40:20.940 The Wall

00:40:21.200 Street Journal

00:40:21.720 has this

00:40:22.220 exclusive.

00:40:23.180 They somehow

00:40:24.100 got a look

00:40:24.640 at this.

00:40:26.480 But it

00:40:27.800 seems

00:40:28.860 obviously

00:40:29.640 fake.

00:40:31.520 If this

00:40:32.360 is real,

00:40:34.100 they're going

00:40:34.960 to have to

00:40:35.380 prove it.

00:40:36.840 And they're

00:40:37.420 going to have

00:40:37.760 to have a

00:40:38.220 witness who

00:40:39.320 had it in

00:40:40.280 their hand

00:40:40.940 or saw

00:40:41.660 it or

00:40:41.980 something.

00:40:42.680 But it

00:40:43.400 looks fake

00:40:44.220 as hell.

00:40:45.480 Like,

00:40:46.000 seriously

00:40:46.460 fake.

00:40:47.840 So why

00:40:48.580 would this

00:40:48.980 even be

00:40:49.900 there?

00:40:50.320 I don't

00:40:50.540 know.

00:40:52.400 You believe

00:40:53.140 they docked

00:40:53.900 the files?

00:40:54.840 Well, I do

00:40:55.420 believe that

00:40:56.440 the Epstein

00:40:56.940 files probably

00:40:58.000 have some

00:40:58.460 deletions.

00:40:59.960 But it

00:41:00.600 would be a

00:41:01.000 whole other

00:41:01.420 level.

00:41:02.200 You know,

00:41:02.460 things that

00:41:03.260 disappeared.

00:41:04.560 But it

00:41:05.020 would be a

00:41:05.260 whole other

00:41:05.680 level if

00:41:06.220 somebody made

00:41:06.940 up stuff and

00:41:08.020 just put it

00:41:08.520 in the file.

00:41:09.600 Maybe.

00:41:10.640 Nothing is

00:41:11.340 impossible.

00:41:13.520 Scott Jennings'

00:41:14.680 reaction to

00:41:15.540 the story

00:41:16.500 about the

00:41:16.920 birthday card

00:41:17.620 is,

00:41:18.640 my reaction

00:41:19.300 to reading

00:41:19.800 this is,

00:41:20.700 so what?

00:41:22.080 I mean,

00:41:22.900 2003,

00:41:23.800 before anything

00:41:24.400 had happened.

00:41:25.040 We know

00:41:25.340 Donald Trump

00:41:25.860 knew the

00:41:26.300 guy.

00:41:26.900 We also

00:41:27.320 know he

00:41:27.780 disowned

00:41:28.360 him and

00:41:29.200 kicked him

00:41:29.660 out of the

00:41:29.980 club.

00:41:30.880 Yeah.

00:41:31.660 So I

00:41:32.580 would agree

00:41:33.120 that the

00:41:34.300 non-news

00:41:35.620 nerd public,

00:41:36.800 they don't

00:41:37.220 really care.

00:41:37.760 And now

00:41:40.840 it looks like

00:41:41.280 Trump is

00:41:41.700 going to

00:41:42.480 sue Rupert

00:41:43.300 Murdoch in

00:41:44.000 the Wall

00:41:44.300 Street Journal.

00:41:45.780 Rupert

00:41:46.120 Murdoch,

00:41:46.720 also the

00:41:47.280 owner of

00:41:47.800 Fox News,

00:41:49.820 which is

00:41:50.860 his friend

00:41:51.520 sometimes.

00:41:54.660 So we'll

00:41:55.720 see.

00:41:56.940 But he

00:41:57.720 wants Murdoch

00:41:58.720 to be on

00:41:59.160 record.

00:42:00.980 Then even

00:42:01.720 Elon Musk

00:42:02.500 doubted

00:42:04.620 that it

00:42:04.960 was

00:42:05.200 legitimate.

00:42:07.140 So Elon

00:42:07.900 Musk would

00:42:09.200 kind of

00:42:09.780 want Trump

00:42:10.940 to maybe

00:42:11.300 get in

00:42:11.700 trouble based

00:42:12.360 on his

00:42:12.700 prior comments.

00:42:13.800 But even

00:42:14.260 Elon Musk

00:42:15.000 looks at

00:42:15.580 that and

00:42:16.060 says,

00:42:16.540 I don't

00:42:18.020 think so.

00:42:19.760 So

00:42:20.280 that's my

00:42:23.600 take,

00:42:24.560 is that

00:42:25.060 it's sort

00:42:25.780 of obviously

00:42:26.580 not real.

00:42:28.460 The closest

00:42:29.760 that could be

00:42:30.640 to real is

00:42:32.420 if Trump

00:42:33.000 had delegated

00:42:33.900 somebody else

00:42:34.660 to draw

00:42:35.240 something on

00:42:35.860 the card,

00:42:37.000 you know,

00:42:37.220 some assistant

00:42:37.900 or something.

00:42:39.240 But why

00:42:39.720 would they

00:42:40.080 draw a

00:42:40.580 naked woman?

00:42:42.380 I don't

00:42:43.080 know.

00:42:43.360 None of

00:42:43.640 it makes

00:42:43.960 sense.

00:42:44.800 So I'm

00:42:45.180 going to

00:42:45.360 say Trump

00:42:46.560 is probably

00:42:47.500 right.

00:42:48.600 I'm going

00:42:48.980 to give

00:42:49.260 this a

00:42:49.780 95%

00:42:50.920 chance of

00:42:52.060 being fake

00:42:52.800 news.

00:42:55.820 Mike

00:42:56.440 Benz has

00:42:57.760 an interesting

00:42:58.340 take on

00:42:59.220 Epstein's

00:43:00.540 connection

00:43:01.060 to

00:43:01.460 intelligence

00:43:02.040 agencies.

00:43:03.760 And Mike

00:43:05.160 Benz, as the

00:43:05.900 national

00:43:06.420 treasurer

00:43:06.940 that he

00:43:07.360 is,

00:43:08.040 explains to

00:43:08.740 us things

00:43:09.240 that most

00:43:09.680 of us

00:43:09.980 didn't know

00:43:10.680 about how

00:43:11.800 the world

00:43:12.220 works.

00:43:14.320 And one

00:43:14.880 of them

00:43:15.100 you need

00:43:15.500 to know

00:43:15.860 is that

00:43:16.780 you don't

00:43:17.200 need to

00:43:17.580 work for

00:43:18.480 the CIA.

00:43:20.380 You could

00:43:20.860 simply be

00:43:21.560 somebody that

00:43:22.420 they deal

00:43:23.040 with in a

00:43:24.520 mutually

00:43:25.060 productive

00:43:25.600 way.

00:43:26.780 So that's

00:43:27.380 different from

00:43:28.020 working for

00:43:28.700 them.

00:43:28.840 it might

00:43:29.720 be that

00:43:30.220 you just

00:43:30.540 have some

00:43:30.980 way that

00:43:31.300 you can

00:43:31.560 both make

00:43:32.040 money.

00:43:33.000 CIA gets

00:43:33.880 what they

00:43:34.280 want.

00:43:35.220 Maybe the

00:43:35.820 middleman who

00:43:36.640 makes something

00:43:37.200 happen gets

00:43:38.720 what they

00:43:39.080 want.

00:43:40.080 Would that

00:43:40.660 be a case

00:43:41.300 of working

00:43:41.960 for or

00:43:42.700 working with

00:43:43.360 the CIA?

00:43:44.700 Well,

00:43:45.380 arguably not.

00:43:47.560 So you

00:43:48.220 could imagine

00:43:48.800 that all

00:43:49.440 intelligence

00:43:50.000 agencies would

00:43:51.540 not say

00:43:52.000 they've ever

00:43:52.480 worked with

00:43:52.920 them.

00:43:53.080 but maybe

00:43:54.380 as Mike

00:43:56.220 Benz points

00:43:56.860 out,

00:43:58.780 it could

00:43:59.200 be that

00:44:00.280 the sex

00:44:01.560 part of

00:44:02.040 the Epstein

00:44:02.520 operation

00:44:03.200 was to

00:44:04.900 quote

00:44:05.360 juice

00:44:06.060 deals.

00:44:07.920 So maybe

00:44:08.660 it allowed

00:44:09.200 him to

00:44:09.660 have

00:44:09.840 relationships

00:44:10.400 with heads

00:44:11.440 of state

00:44:11.960 and important

00:44:12.520 people that

00:44:13.140 otherwise he

00:44:13.800 wouldn't have

00:44:14.220 access to.

00:44:15.840 Maybe

00:44:16.340 they worried

00:44:18.500 that he

00:44:19.100 had too

00:44:19.840 much information

00:44:20.520 about them

00:44:21.220 so they

00:44:22.140 were a

00:44:22.380 little bit

00:44:22.800 more willing

00:44:23.520 to donate

00:44:24.100 money to

00:44:25.420 things that

00:44:26.060 the CIA

00:44:26.600 would want

00:44:27.240 money donated

00:44:28.060 to.

00:44:29.740 So it's

00:44:30.500 entirely

00:44:30.880 possible that

00:44:32.040 there's a

00:44:32.300 whole bunch

00:44:32.640 of rich

00:44:33.000 people who

00:44:34.080 have given

00:44:34.460 lots of

00:44:35.060 money to

00:44:36.120 things that

00:44:37.000 Jeffrey Epstein

00:44:37.940 said,

00:44:38.460 hey, you

00:44:39.880 know what would

00:44:40.220 be good to

00:44:40.780 donate money

00:44:41.340 to?

00:44:42.160 This

00:44:42.440 particular

00:44:42.980 charity or

00:44:43.900 this college

00:44:44.560 or this

00:44:45.360 program or

00:44:46.780 this education

00:44:47.700 in another

00:44:48.380 country?

00:44:49.580 And then the

00:44:50.020 person doing

00:44:50.600 the donating,

00:44:51.220 would not

00:44:52.560 even know

00:44:53.000 they were

00:44:53.340 doing the

00:44:55.080 bidding of

00:44:55.520 the CIA.

00:44:57.140 Only Epstein

00:44:58.060 would know

00:44:58.520 that.

00:44:59.520 So that

00:44:59.920 model would

00:45:00.480 be, hey

00:45:01.140 Epstein,

00:45:02.460 we want a

00:45:04.900 bunch of

00:45:05.200 people to

00:45:05.820 donate to

00:45:07.560 this thing

00:45:08.060 or another

00:45:08.480 because it's

00:45:10.900 good for the

00:45:11.380 United States.

00:45:12.760 So can you

00:45:13.880 get some rich

00:45:14.380 people to

00:45:14.900 donate?

00:45:15.920 Yes, I

00:45:16.440 can.

00:45:17.360 And would

00:45:17.720 that get

00:45:18.120 him any

00:45:18.720 money that

00:45:19.220 he gets to

00:45:19.740 keep?

00:45:20.760 Maybe.

00:45:21.460 I don't

00:45:21.960 know.

00:45:22.800 Maybe he

00:45:23.320 just keeps

00:45:23.840 part of

00:45:24.220 it.

00:45:24.780 When I

00:45:25.440 found out

00:45:25.860 my friend

00:45:26.320 got a

00:45:26.680 great deal

00:45:27.280 on a

00:45:27.640 wool coat

00:45:28.040 from

00:45:28.260 Winners,

00:45:28.900 I started

00:45:29.640 wondering,

00:45:30.560 is every

00:45:31.380 fabulous item

00:45:32.160 I see

00:45:32.580 from Winners?

00:45:33.640 Like that

00:45:34.180 woman over

00:45:34.660 there with

00:45:35.120 the designer

00:45:35.560 jeans.

00:45:36.380 Are those

00:45:36.980 from Winners?

00:45:37.920 Ooh,

00:45:38.540 or those

00:45:38.880 beautiful gold

00:45:39.500 earrings?

00:45:40.380 Did she

00:45:40.640 pay full

00:45:40.960 price?

00:45:41.720 Or that

00:45:41.980 leather tote?

00:45:42.740 Or that

00:45:42.980 cashmere

00:45:43.340 sweater?

00:45:43.960 Or those

00:45:44.260 knee-high

00:45:44.560 boots?

00:45:45.400 That

00:45:45.580 dress?

00:45:46.200 That jacket?

00:45:46.860 Those shoes?

00:45:47.880 Is anyone

00:45:48.680 paying full

00:45:49.320 price for

00:45:49.860 anything?

00:45:50.880 Stop

00:45:51.320 wondering.

00:45:52.100 Start

00:45:52.360 winning.

00:45:53.040 Winners find

00:45:53.860 fabulous for

00:45:54.660 less.

00:45:56.600 Apparently,

00:45:57.360 Bill Burns,

00:45:58.320 who was

00:45:58.680 the head of

00:45:59.040 the CIA

00:45:59.500 at one

00:45:59.940 point,

00:46:00.600 met with

00:46:01.320 Epstein

00:46:01.720 three times,

00:46:03.100 including two

00:46:04.240 times at his

00:46:04.900 house.

00:46:05.240 Okay,

00:46:08.060 that's pretty

00:46:10.140 damning.

00:46:11.460 If you

00:46:12.100 have the

00:46:12.660 head of

00:46:13.800 the CIA

00:46:14.640 visiting your

00:46:16.420 house multiple

00:46:17.120 times,

00:46:17.980 and then you

00:46:19.040 say,

00:46:19.320 I'm not

00:46:19.600 working with

00:46:20.260 them,

00:46:20.920 well,

00:46:22.240 okay,

00:46:23.720 I'm not

00:46:24.960 so sure.

00:46:28.000 But it

00:46:28.820 could be

00:46:29.480 that Epstein

00:46:30.760 was just an

00:46:31.440 expert at

00:46:32.240 getting money

00:46:32.820 from people

00:46:33.700 and hiding

00:46:35.060 the trail.

00:46:37.880 One of the

00:46:38.720 things that

00:46:39.340 Ben recommends

00:46:41.160 is that

00:46:42.700 Trump allow

00:46:44.400 the release

00:46:45.320 of the

00:46:45.820 transcripts

00:46:47.160 and questions

00:46:48.380 and answers

00:46:49.020 from something

00:46:50.380 called the

00:46:51.160 OPR,

00:46:52.600 the Office

00:46:53.120 of Professional

00:46:53.880 Responsibility,

00:46:55.520 where investigators

00:46:56.740 talked to

00:46:57.480 Alex Acosta.

00:46:58.500 he was the

00:46:59.820 prosecutor

00:47:00.300 working on

00:47:01.100 the original

00:47:02.160 2008 plea

00:47:03.500 deal for

00:47:04.780 Epstein.

00:47:06.100 And I

00:47:06.700 thought to

00:47:07.020 myself,

00:47:07.860 how does

00:47:08.320 Mike Benz

00:47:09.480 know all

00:47:09.940 these things

00:47:10.540 even exist?

00:47:13.780 Now,

00:47:15.060 the fact

00:47:16.000 that we

00:47:16.540 have,

00:47:17.220 and I say

00:47:17.800 we,

00:47:18.480 you know,

00:47:18.700 the people

00:47:19.440 who are

00:47:19.740 pro-Trump,

00:47:21.060 that we

00:47:21.440 have a

00:47:21.980 Mike Benz

00:47:22.840 who seems

00:47:23.720 to have

00:47:24.060 this incredible

00:47:25.520 understanding

00:47:26.340 of how the

00:47:27.000 government is

00:47:27.620 organized in

00:47:28.820 the real

00:47:29.180 world.

00:47:30.400 So he

00:47:31.160 can do

00:47:31.580 what none

00:47:31.960 of us

00:47:32.300 can do,

00:47:33.080 and presumably

00:47:33.800 the fake

00:47:35.360 news couldn't

00:47:36.180 do it either,

00:47:37.060 which is to

00:47:38.140 say there

00:47:39.080 is a document

00:47:39.860 that probably

00:47:41.280 exists,

00:47:42.620 that's probably

00:47:43.120 not part of

00:47:43.760 the, quote,

00:47:44.380 Epstein files,

00:47:45.700 that if we

00:47:47.340 could see it

00:47:48.120 would answer

00:47:48.920 a lot of

00:47:49.400 questions,

00:47:50.340 such as the

00:47:51.360 question of

00:47:51.880 whether Alex

00:47:53.580 Acosta ever

00:47:54.500 said that

00:47:56.060 Epstein was

00:47:56.800 part of the

00:47:57.560 intelligence

00:47:58.540 operation,

00:48:00.480 because I

00:48:01.740 don't believe

00:48:02.460 that that is

00:48:03.200 proven.

00:48:04.500 I believe

00:48:05.020 that people

00:48:05.500 say that

00:48:07.200 Alex Epstein

00:48:07.920 said it,

00:48:08.820 but I don't

00:48:09.920 believe that

00:48:10.420 we have a

00:48:10.920 document to

00:48:11.920 prove it or

00:48:12.600 a video of

00:48:13.260 him saying

00:48:13.780 it.

00:48:15.600 So that's

00:48:17.200 a good idea.

00:48:18.280 We should

00:48:18.640 get access

00:48:19.140 to that.

00:48:20.780 And then

00:48:21.040 Charlie

00:48:21.680 Kirk

00:48:22.220 goes further

00:48:25.480 and says

00:48:26.500 that somebody

00:48:28.300 should bring

00:48:28.820 Acosta in

00:48:29.520 for a full

00:48:30.020 interview to

00:48:30.800 find out

00:48:31.320 what he

00:48:32.420 says.

00:48:33.520 If he said

00:48:34.280 it once,

00:48:34.920 maybe he'll

00:48:35.300 say it again,

00:48:36.220 because, you

00:48:36.520 know,

00:48:36.660 Epstein's

00:48:37.140 dead, so

00:48:38.300 he could

00:48:38.540 probably say

00:48:39.000 things he

00:48:39.500 couldn't say

00:48:40.020 originally.

00:48:41.440 So, yeah,

00:48:42.100 let's hear

00:48:42.480 from Acosta.

00:48:43.300 He's still

00:48:43.640 alive.

00:48:45.140 And then

00:48:45.640 Trump posted

00:48:46.660 on True

00:48:47.240 Social that

00:48:48.740 he once

00:48:49.260 bonded to

00:48:49.880 produce,

00:48:50.400 quote,

00:48:50.640 any and

00:48:51.560 all pertinent

00:48:52.160 grand jury

00:48:52.960 testimony

00:48:53.680 subject to

00:48:56.260 court approval.

00:48:58.340 So,

00:48:59.320 apparently

00:48:59.880 there are

00:49:00.620 some documents

00:49:01.620 that you

00:49:02.580 would not

00:49:03.000 call part

00:49:03.960 of the

00:49:04.220 Epstein

00:49:04.560 files that

00:49:06.340 would tell

00:49:06.800 us maybe

00:49:08.040 everything we

00:49:08.740 want to

00:49:09.060 know.

00:49:09.760 Maybe.

00:49:11.360 So,

00:49:13.120 that's

00:49:13.540 possible.

00:49:15.900 And then

00:49:16.800 Representative

00:49:17.540 Anna Polina

00:49:19.120 Luna said

00:49:20.620 this on

00:49:21.060 X.

00:49:21.640 Why hasn't

00:49:22.180 a single

00:49:22.600 media outlet

00:49:23.300 asked me

00:49:23.940 to discuss

00:49:24.640 my investigation

00:49:26.040 into the

00:49:27.200 destruction of

00:49:28.420 Epstein's

00:49:29.020 evidence at

00:49:29.740 the FBI

00:49:30.380 under Biden's

00:49:31.900 former deputy

00:49:32.720 director?

00:49:33.580 To which I

00:49:34.380 say,

00:49:35.140 wait,

00:49:35.420 what?

00:49:37.540 Are you

00:49:38.220 telling me

00:49:38.820 that

00:49:39.940 Representative

00:49:40.940 Luna

00:49:41.540 has been

00:49:43.840 doing an

00:49:44.280 investigation

00:49:44.860 into the

00:49:45.760 destruction of

00:49:46.740 Epstein evidence

00:49:47.620 at the FBI

00:49:48.420 and apparently

00:49:49.980 she has

00:49:50.580 evidence that

00:49:51.340 that happened

00:49:51.960 otherwise she

00:49:53.160 wouldn't be

00:49:53.600 mentioning it

00:49:54.280 and that's

00:49:55.720 not the

00:49:56.400 top headline

00:49:57.100 and she's

00:49:58.740 saying,

00:49:59.420 why does

00:49:59.680 no media

00:50:00.220 outlet want

00:50:00.860 to talk to

00:50:01.260 me about

00:50:01.620 this?

00:50:02.640 Yeah,

00:50:03.200 good question.

00:50:04.940 Why does

00:50:05.260 no media

00:50:05.860 outlet want

00:50:06.640 to talk to

00:50:07.120 her about

00:50:07.520 what seems

00:50:08.960 to be a

00:50:10.220 really important

00:50:10.920 question?

00:50:12.920 So,

00:50:13.220 that's going

00:50:13.500 on.

00:50:13.940 and an

00:50:14.540 insurrection

00:50:15.080 barry on

00:50:15.780 X points

00:50:16.780 out that

00:50:18.020 apparently we

00:50:18.960 know,

00:50:19.600 somehow we

00:50:20.220 know this,

00:50:21.060 that Harvard

00:50:21.480 gave Epstein

00:50:22.200 an office,

00:50:23.480 key card

00:50:23.940 access,

00:50:25.160 and unrestricted

00:50:26.160 visitation

00:50:26.880 rights between

00:50:27.600 2003 and

00:50:28.720 2007.

00:50:31.180 They also

00:50:32.180 let him

00:50:32.540 attend faculty

00:50:33.380 meetings,

00:50:33.960 meet students,

00:50:34.620 and host

00:50:35.000 visitors,

00:50:36.180 and nobody

00:50:37.020 is asking

00:50:37.660 why they

00:50:38.160 did that.

00:50:39.300 Keep in

00:50:39.740 mind,

00:50:40.880 Epstein

00:50:41.220 didn't even

00:50:41.860 have a

00:50:42.200 college

00:50:42.440 education.

00:50:44.500 And at

00:50:44.800 one point,

00:50:45.400 he was a

00:50:46.120 math teacher

00:50:47.120 at an

00:50:47.540 exclusive

00:50:47.980 school that

00:50:49.500 Bill Barr's

00:50:50.060 father ran,

00:50:51.580 and Harvard

00:50:52.740 was giving

00:50:54.000 him special

00:50:54.640 access to

00:50:55.340 the campus

00:50:55.920 for reasons

00:50:57.480 that we

00:50:58.040 don't quite

00:50:58.540 understand.

00:50:59.960 Now,

00:51:00.260 it might be

00:51:00.840 because one

00:51:01.980 of the things

00:51:02.440 that Epstein

00:51:03.020 did was raise

00:51:03.980 money for

00:51:04.460 Harvard.

00:51:05.800 So,

00:51:06.980 there might

00:51:07.320 be just a

00:51:07.780 money reason

00:51:08.400 for it,

00:51:09.360 but we'd

00:51:09.800 like to

00:51:10.120 know that.

00:51:11.860 Even

00:51:13.520 MSNBC

00:51:14.780 is asking

00:51:15.560 Democrats

00:51:16.560 why they

00:51:18.040 didn't do

00:51:18.400 more about

00:51:18.820 the Epstein

00:51:19.260 files,

00:51:19.960 if it's so

00:51:20.900 important now.

00:51:22.240 So,

00:51:22.520 MSNBC

00:51:23.120 said to

00:51:24.420 Jamie

00:51:25.720 Raskin,

00:51:27.880 is that

00:51:28.480 his name?

00:51:29.040 Raskin?

00:51:30.060 Yeah.

00:51:31.600 If it

00:51:32.460 was a

00:51:32.860 crisis then,

00:51:33.960 it's a

00:51:34.360 crisis now,

00:51:35.480 why didn't

00:51:35.940 Democrats

00:51:36.460 call for

00:51:37.000 Epstein's

00:51:37.540 list to

00:51:38.400 be released

00:51:39.100 when Biden

00:51:40.760 was in

00:51:41.160 office?

00:51:41.860 And Raskin

00:51:42.460 says,

00:51:42.820 I mean,

00:51:43.780 I don't

00:51:44.420 know,

00:51:45.360 we had

00:51:46.260 other

00:51:46.700 cases,

00:51:48.940 we were

00:51:50.920 busy,

00:51:51.860 what with

00:51:52.400 the autocracy

00:51:53.380 and the

00:51:54.760 stealing of

00:51:55.500 the democracy,

00:51:57.080 no,

00:51:57.740 he didn't

00:51:57.860 say that.

00:51:59.840 He didn't

00:52:00.600 say that,

00:52:01.420 but he

00:52:02.780 did not

00:52:03.320 answer that

00:52:03.780 question very

00:52:04.360 well.

00:52:05.300 Why didn't

00:52:05.860 the Democrats

00:52:06.480 do more?

00:52:06.960 And then

00:52:09.220 Lawrence

00:52:09.840 O'Donnell,

00:52:10.920 who is

00:52:11.580 going full

00:52:12.180 batshit

00:52:12.700 crazy,

00:52:13.480 Western

00:52:14.040 lensman

00:52:14.640 points this

00:52:15.260 out with

00:52:15.960 a video

00:52:16.460 clip.

00:52:18.260 So,

00:52:18.640 Lawrence

00:52:18.880 O'Donnell

00:52:19.240 on MSNBC,

00:52:21.100 he's

00:52:21.600 floating the

00:52:22.480 idea that

00:52:23.920 J.D.

00:52:24.400 Vance is

00:52:24.920 the one

00:52:25.220 behind that

00:52:26.160 birthday

00:52:27.560 letter.

00:52:29.640 Because he

00:52:30.340 says J.D.

00:52:31.400 Vance is

00:52:31.900 trying to

00:52:32.280 get a

00:52:32.540 promotion,

00:52:33.000 so he's

00:52:34.120 trying to

00:52:34.480 take Trump

00:52:35.060 out so he

00:52:35.660 can become

00:52:36.080 president.

00:52:37.640 And Lawrence

00:52:39.200 O'Donnell thinks

00:52:39.940 that the way

00:52:40.400 he's doing

00:52:40.840 it is that

00:52:41.980 he's the

00:52:42.520 person behind

00:52:43.460 the birthday

00:52:44.560 card that

00:52:45.480 the Wall

00:52:45.740 Street Journal

00:52:46.220 was writing

00:52:46.720 about.

00:52:48.220 Now,

00:52:49.180 does that

00:52:50.880 strike you

00:52:51.640 as a

00:52:52.560 really good

00:52:53.060 point worthy

00:52:53.880 of discussion?

00:52:55.600 Or does

00:52:56.580 it strike you

00:52:57.380 as Lawrence

00:52:57.980 O'Donnell

00:52:58.360 has a

00:52:58.720 mental

00:52:58.960 problem?

00:53:00.500 To me,

00:53:01.640 it's the

00:53:02.180 latter.

00:53:03.000 It looks

00:53:03.520 like,

00:53:04.460 oh my

00:53:04.840 God,

00:53:05.180 you're

00:53:05.380 totally

00:53:05.660 mental.

00:53:07.060 What is

00:53:07.700 wrong with

00:53:08.200 you?

00:53:08.840 You should

00:53:09.520 immediately

00:53:09.960 seek therapy

00:53:10.820 or have

00:53:12.100 somebody look

00:53:12.600 at your

00:53:12.900 cell phone

00:53:13.700 to see

00:53:14.920 what you've

00:53:15.280 been doing

00:53:15.640 with it

00:53:16.020 lately.

00:53:17.200 That's

00:53:17.740 what I

00:53:18.000 say.

00:53:20.380 Well,

00:53:21.060 Canada's

00:53:21.580 Prime Minister

00:53:22.120 Mark Carney

00:53:22.860 has conceded,

00:53:24.740 according to

00:53:25.420 Breitbart News,

00:53:26.760 Francis Martel

00:53:27.660 is writing

00:53:28.000 about this,

00:53:29.220 that Canada

00:53:30.220 might not be

00:53:31.040 able to get

00:53:31.900 Trump to

00:53:32.620 drop all

00:53:33.060 of his

00:53:33.360 tariffs

00:53:33.800 when they

00:53:35.160 get a deal

00:53:35.700 eventually.

00:53:36.700 So in

00:53:36.940 other words,

00:53:38.160 Canada now

00:53:38.940 believes that

00:53:39.680 they will

00:53:40.000 simply pay

00:53:40.880 more even

00:53:42.360 if they

00:53:42.940 agree to

00:53:43.620 a deal.

00:53:45.060 So is

00:53:45.960 that a

00:53:46.300 case of

00:53:46.780 Trump winning?

00:53:48.460 Yes,

00:53:48.820 it is.

00:53:49.680 If they've

00:53:50.400 already

00:53:50.680 acknowledged

00:53:51.320 that at

00:53:52.200 the end

00:53:52.520 of the

00:53:52.800 negotiations

00:53:53.440 they're going

00:53:54.200 to be worse

00:53:54.680 off and

00:53:55.100 America will

00:53:55.700 be better

00:53:56.120 off,

00:53:57.140 because that's

00:53:57.740 what they

00:53:58.040 said.

00:53:58.340 I mean,

00:53:58.600 that's

00:53:58.740 what the

00:53:58.900 Prime

00:53:59.120 Minister

00:53:59.400 said.

00:54:00.480 Yep,

00:54:01.880 that looks

00:54:02.900 like it.

00:54:05.320 And then

00:54:05.660 according to

00:54:06.800 a different

00:54:08.100 Carney,

00:54:09.120 John Carney,

00:54:10.460 who writes

00:54:11.000 for Breitbart,

00:54:12.640 that the

00:54:13.900 import pricing

00:54:15.080 that we can

00:54:16.360 see suggests

00:54:17.320 that the

00:54:18.060 foreign producers

00:54:19.240 are eating

00:54:20.540 most of the

00:54:21.540 cost of the

00:54:23.140 tariffs by

00:54:24.320 lowering their

00:54:24.860 prices.

00:54:27.060 So it

00:54:28.660 would seem

00:54:29.380 that Canada

00:54:30.760 is essentially

00:54:32.320 endorsing

00:54:32.980 Trump's view

00:54:33.780 of tariffs

00:54:34.580 as making

00:54:36.680 things a

00:54:37.180 little more

00:54:37.500 fair,

00:54:38.640 and that

00:54:39.820 the economists

00:54:40.560 were all

00:54:41.040 wrong.

00:54:42.340 So the

00:54:42.800 economists

00:54:43.440 have been

00:54:44.200 surveyed again,

00:54:45.600 and they've

00:54:46.300 lowered their

00:54:46.900 odds that we're

00:54:47.620 going to go

00:54:48.020 into some

00:54:48.440 kind of

00:54:48.720 recession.

00:54:49.620 So it's

00:54:50.040 down to

00:54:50.360 33%,

00:54:51.440 according to

00:54:51.960 the Wall

00:54:52.240 Street Journal.

00:54:53.100 It was

00:54:53.420 45% in

00:54:54.460 April.

00:54:54.860 They were

00:54:56.460 all worried

00:54:56.900 about the

00:54:57.540 tariffs.

00:55:00.260 So you've

00:55:01.500 got a whole

00:55:01.840 bunch of

00:55:02.240 economists

00:55:02.720 who were

00:55:04.040 wrong about

00:55:04.740 tariffs.

00:55:06.880 What good

00:55:08.060 are the

00:55:08.440 economists,

00:55:09.940 and is it

00:55:10.540 true that

00:55:10.980 Trump is

00:55:11.460 just smarter

00:55:12.040 than the

00:55:12.500 economists?

00:55:13.600 Because it

00:55:14.240 looks like

00:55:14.720 it.

00:55:15.980 Did Trump,

00:55:17.400 who is not

00:55:17.880 an economist,

00:55:19.540 just beat

00:55:20.340 every economist

00:55:21.340 on this

00:55:22.280 prediction?

00:55:22.740 It looks

00:55:24.780 like it.

00:55:25.820 I mean,

00:55:26.320 you're

00:55:26.660 going to

00:55:26.720 have to

00:55:26.980 give him

00:55:27.280 credit.

00:55:28.280 He looks

00:55:28.620 like he

00:55:28.980 beat every

00:55:29.860 expert in

00:55:30.560 the field.

00:55:31.660 It looks

00:55:32.040 like it.

00:55:34.920 Well,

00:55:35.800 Gavin Newsom

00:55:36.700 says he's

00:55:38.220 suing Fox

00:55:39.440 because he

00:55:41.740 claims that

00:55:42.300 Jesse Waters

00:55:42.980 on his show

00:55:43.760 falsely

00:55:44.380 asserted that

00:55:45.700 Newsom had

00:55:46.800 lied about

00:55:47.560 when he

00:55:48.620 talked to

00:55:49.240 Trump about

00:55:50.040 the, I

00:55:50.980 guess, about

00:55:51.600 the disasters

00:55:53.140 and the

00:55:54.100 fire disaster

00:55:54.760 in California.

00:55:56.940 And he

00:55:57.860 alleges that

00:55:59.560 Jesse Waters

00:56:00.620 aired a

00:56:01.240 deceptively

00:56:01.980 edited clip

00:56:02.880 of Trump's

00:56:04.020 remarks,

00:56:05.560 omitting

00:56:06.100 Trump saying

00:56:06.880 a day ago.

00:56:08.740 So I

00:56:09.320 guess Newsom

00:56:11.080 said that

00:56:12.920 he just

00:56:13.300 talked to

00:56:13.780 Trump,

00:56:14.880 and Jesse

00:56:15.800 Waters, I

00:56:16.420 think if I'm

00:56:17.060 reading this

00:56:17.520 right, is

00:56:18.560 claiming that

00:56:19.280 that didn't

00:56:19.740 happen, but

00:56:21.340 in order to

00:56:22.160 bolster that

00:56:22.840 claim, had

00:56:23.420 to remove

00:56:24.000 from the

00:56:24.460 clip the

00:56:25.580 part where

00:56:26.060 Trump said

00:56:26.620 it did

00:56:26.940 happen.

00:56:29.420 And

00:56:29.980 according to

00:56:30.740 Newsom, he

00:56:31.600 would settle

00:56:32.220 for an

00:56:32.660 apology, but

00:56:34.320 if not, he

00:56:35.020 has all day

00:56:35.680 long to do

00:56:37.260 this legal

00:56:37.840 process, and

00:56:38.880 he's suing

00:56:39.300 for hundreds

00:56:39.940 of millions

00:56:40.380 of dollars.

00:56:42.000 And I'm

00:56:43.240 wondering,

00:56:43.920 what the

00:56:44.400 heck will

00:56:44.980 Fox News

00:56:45.820 do?

00:56:47.140 Because if

00:56:48.180 Newsom can

00:56:48.940 produce the

00:56:49.740 clip that

00:56:51.240 shows that

00:56:51.940 the important

00:56:52.460 part of the

00:56:52.940 clip was

00:56:53.460 clipped off

00:56:54.100 of the

00:56:54.400 clip, it's

00:56:56.320 going to be

00:56:56.740 hard to say

00:56:57.440 that they

00:56:57.820 didn't know

00:56:58.240 they were

00:56:58.520 doing it.

00:56:59.460 You know

00:56:59.700 what I

00:56:59.900 mean?

00:57:00.940 Now, Jesse

00:57:02.740 himself is

00:57:03.680 not the one

00:57:04.200 who's preparing

00:57:04.860 the clips.

00:57:05.720 We assume

00:57:06.160 that that

00:57:06.480 would be

00:57:06.760 some kind

00:57:07.280 of producer

00:57:08.000 function.

00:57:09.340 So it

00:57:09.700 could be

00:57:10.060 that Jesse

00:57:10.840 is just

00:57:11.320 finding out

00:57:12.120 that he

00:57:13.140 did a

00:57:13.480 story that

00:57:14.000 didn't pass

00:57:15.100 the fact

00:57:15.520 checking.

00:57:17.000 So I

00:57:17.800 don't know

00:57:18.340 what you

00:57:18.880 do, if

00:57:20.400 it might

00:57:20.760 be just

00:57:21.180 a producer

00:57:21.740 thing.

00:57:23.280 But if

00:57:24.420 I were

00:57:24.740 Jesse, and

00:57:25.960 I knew

00:57:26.280 that the

00:57:26.740 proof of

00:57:27.960 the other

00:57:28.340 side's

00:57:28.840 point was

00:57:29.900 simply a

00:57:30.800 video clip

00:57:31.440 that everybody

00:57:31.960 has access

00:57:32.580 to, I

00:57:34.620 think I'd

00:57:35.060 be apologizing.

00:57:35.900 Oh, somebody

00:57:37.660 says that

00:57:38.220 Jesse apologized

00:57:38.980 last night

00:57:39.760 on the air.

00:57:41.280 Oh, okay.

00:57:43.620 All right.

00:57:44.720 Well, he

00:57:45.400 doesn't have

00:57:45.820 to take my

00:57:46.260 advice.

00:57:46.680 He already

00:57:46.940 did it.

00:57:48.140 That would

00:57:48.760 be how I

00:57:49.480 would have

00:57:49.760 handled it.

00:57:50.520 I would have

00:57:51.360 done that.

00:57:51.920 I would have

00:57:52.300 apologized on

00:57:53.100 air.

00:57:54.280 Claudia was

00:57:54.920 leaving for

00:57:55.360 her pickleball

00:57:55.940 tournament.

00:57:56.520 I've been

00:57:56.740 visualizing my

00:57:57.540 match all

00:57:58.200 week.

00:57:59.080 She was so

00:57:59.600 focused on

00:58:00.100 visualizing that

00:58:00.980 she didn't see

00:58:01.580 the column behind

00:58:02.240 her car on her

00:58:03.140 backhand side.

00:58:03.940 Good thing

00:58:05.680 Claudia's with

00:58:06.320 Intact, the

00:58:07.140 insurer with

00:58:07.740 the largest

00:58:08.220 network of

00:58:08.800 auto service

00:58:09.280 centers in the

00:58:10.060 country.

00:58:10.720 Everything was

00:58:11.240 taken care of

00:58:11.880 under one roof

00:58:12.640 and she was

00:58:13.160 on her way in

00:58:13.660 a rental car

00:58:14.280 in no time.

00:58:15.180 I made it to

00:58:15.900 my tournament

00:58:16.520 and lost in

00:58:17.720 the first round.

00:58:18.660 But you got

00:58:19.460 there on time.

00:58:20.520 Intact Insurance,

00:58:21.660 your auto

00:58:22.040 service ace.

00:58:23.120 Certain conditions

00:58:23.660 apply.

00:58:26.520 According to

00:58:27.380 News Nation,

00:58:28.580 the personal

00:58:29.140 health information

00:58:29.980 of 79 million

00:58:31.060 people, Americans,

00:58:32.740 will be handed

00:58:33.320 over to

00:58:33.860 ICE.

00:58:35.360 And then

00:58:35.800 ICE will use

00:58:36.660 that to figure

00:58:37.260 out how to

00:58:38.280 track down

00:58:38.860 immigrants who

00:58:39.580 are in the

00:58:39.940 U.S.

00:58:40.360 illegally.

00:58:42.120 I guess part

00:58:43.160 of it is to

00:58:43.740 get them the

00:58:44.720 illegals off of

00:58:45.940 Medicaid because

00:58:46.900 they're not

00:58:47.200 allowed to be

00:58:47.660 on it.

00:58:48.360 But also maybe

00:58:49.360 to just locate

00:58:50.820 them.

00:58:52.200 I don't know

00:58:52.640 how you do

00:58:53.040 that with that

00:58:54.000 data.

00:58:55.080 But that's

00:58:55.860 bad.

00:58:56.680 Now you might

00:58:57.400 remember that I

00:58:58.960 said to you

00:58:59.640 that I wondered

00:59:01.920 how long it

00:59:02.560 would be before

00:59:03.960 the aggressive

00:59:04.840 deportations would

00:59:06.380 start affecting

00:59:07.240 regular citizens.

00:59:10.320 So on day

00:59:11.340 one, when you

00:59:12.460 hear that the

00:59:13.380 ICE is deporting

00:59:14.640 some murderers

00:59:15.660 and some gang

00:59:16.280 members, I say

00:59:17.660 to myself,

00:59:18.540 oh, that didn't

00:59:20.000 affect me in any

00:59:21.020 way.

00:59:21.860 But if it did,

00:59:23.360 it was a positive.

00:59:24.500 I'm better off.

00:59:25.700 And then they do

00:59:26.540 some more criminals

00:59:27.460 and they, you know,

00:59:29.360 go after gangs

00:59:30.240 trying to take

00:59:30.980 over apartment

00:59:31.600 buildings or

00:59:32.280 whatever they're

00:59:32.660 doing.

00:59:32.960 And I say to

00:59:33.480 myself, well,

00:59:34.580 that's all good.

00:59:36.240 But remember I

00:59:38.240 warned you that

00:59:39.620 there will be a

00:59:40.180 time when the

00:59:41.020 regular citizens

00:59:41.940 are affected by

00:59:43.180 it.

00:59:44.000 And that's going

00:59:44.900 to change the

00:59:45.660 conversation.

00:59:47.240 So if you

00:59:48.560 were, for

00:59:48.920 example, a

00:59:49.740 farmer who

00:59:50.320 couldn't get

00:59:50.780 your crops

00:59:51.380 picked, and I'm

00:59:52.440 not saying that

00:59:53.000 will happen.

00:59:53.840 It's not a

00:59:54.380 prediction.

00:59:55.320 But if, you

00:59:56.120 know, just as

00:59:56.620 an example, that

00:59:58.140 might affect

00:59:58.940 your cost of

01:00:00.000 food, maybe.

01:00:01.940 And then you'd

01:00:02.500 say, oh, wait,

01:00:04.460 they've deported

01:00:05.900 so many people

01:00:06.680 that we can't

01:00:07.800 even fill those

01:00:08.540 jobs, and my

01:00:09.720 food cost just

01:00:10.540 went up because

01:00:11.200 there was a lot

01:00:11.620 of waste.

01:00:13.960 Or maybe there

01:00:16.480 were some other

01:00:17.060 services that you

01:00:18.000 couldn't get done.

01:00:18.980 Or maybe people

01:00:21.200 that you knew

01:00:22.240 and like in

01:00:23.160 your life are

01:00:24.720 being deported

01:00:25.500 and you don't

01:00:26.440 think that they

01:00:26.940 were criminals.

01:00:28.180 Well, I'm here

01:00:29.020 to tell you that

01:00:29.740 I have now

01:00:30.180 crossed that

01:00:30.940 line, meaning

01:00:32.540 that this now

01:00:33.440 has affected me

01:00:34.440 personally.

01:00:35.820 Not because I'm

01:00:36.980 illegal.

01:00:38.780 Turns out I'm a

01:00:39.720 citizen.

01:00:40.420 Who knew?

01:00:41.680 But I did

01:00:42.620 have a, I

01:00:44.320 did meet and

01:00:45.120 have an

01:00:45.440 interaction with

01:00:46.280 somebody who

01:00:48.480 is, their

01:00:49.500 life is ruined.

01:00:51.320 Their life is

01:00:52.360 ruined because

01:00:54.440 one of them

01:00:56.000 has been here,

01:00:56.840 I don't know,

01:00:57.200 15 or 20

01:00:58.080 years, has

01:00:59.180 been working

01:00:59.780 productively and

01:01:00.840 legally, never

01:01:01.640 broke a law,

01:01:02.560 never got a

01:01:03.100 speeding ticket,

01:01:04.800 has children

01:01:06.620 that are legal

01:01:07.560 residents because

01:01:08.400 they were born

01:01:08.800 here, and has,

01:01:10.260 I believe, an

01:01:10.600 American wife.

01:01:12.460 I'm not positive

01:01:13.340 about that.

01:01:15.000 I think so.

01:01:17.120 And his life

01:01:19.060 and his family's

01:01:20.160 life is in terror

01:01:21.360 right now because

01:01:22.860 they expect that

01:01:24.300 although they're

01:01:25.100 nothing like the

01:01:27.080 criminals that are

01:01:27.840 being deported,

01:01:29.200 that they might

01:01:29.840 get scooped up

01:01:30.860 and sent to a

01:01:31.900 country that they

01:01:32.740 don't consider

01:01:34.980 their country.

01:01:36.580 You know, if

01:01:37.020 you've been living

01:01:37.620 and working and

01:01:38.420 obeying the laws,

01:01:40.300 you think this is

01:01:41.980 your country.

01:01:43.300 And now it's

01:01:44.060 nobody that you

01:01:44.740 know, so don't

01:01:45.900 guess.

01:01:46.440 Please don't guess

01:01:47.260 in the comments

01:01:47.960 because it's not

01:01:49.520 who you think.

01:01:50.100 it's just

01:01:52.420 somebody I had

01:01:54.460 a conversation

01:01:55.000 with yesterday.

01:01:57.640 And I would

01:01:58.700 say that affects

01:01:59.380 me personally

01:02:00.080 because it's the

01:02:01.620 first time I had

01:02:02.420 a conversation

01:02:03.080 with somebody

01:02:03.740 who was a

01:02:05.120 law-abiding,

01:02:06.520 you know,

01:02:07.220 God-loving,

01:02:08.320 family-loving,

01:02:09.180 good person

01:02:09.760 whose life is

01:02:11.560 kind of ruined

01:02:12.640 at the moment.

01:02:14.520 And I don't

01:02:15.560 love it.

01:02:15.980 So, more and

01:02:18.500 more of you, I

01:02:19.180 think, are going

01:02:19.720 to have this

01:02:20.200 experience that

01:02:22.420 at some point

01:02:23.720 the cutting is

01:02:25.800 going to reach

01:02:26.280 the bone and

01:02:27.640 you're going to

01:02:28.160 say, oh, wait

01:02:29.200 a minute, I

01:02:30.200 didn't realize

01:02:30.660 that was going

01:02:31.220 to happen.

01:02:32.340 So, I don't

01:02:33.000 know when that

01:02:33.520 happens, but I'm

01:02:34.840 here to tell you

01:02:35.420 it already

01:02:35.760 happened to me.

01:02:37.160 So, my take

01:02:39.740 on immigration

01:02:40.800 was always that

01:02:42.420 if they spend

01:02:43.020 all of their

01:02:43.640 time just looking

01:02:44.480 for the problem

01:02:45.800 people, that

01:02:47.160 they would never

01:02:47.720 run out of

01:02:48.280 stuff to do.

01:02:49.900 And then at

01:02:50.740 some point they'd

01:02:51.380 say, all right,

01:02:52.660 we've probably

01:02:53.180 got enough, we

01:02:54.000 can absorb the

01:02:54.660 rest of the

01:02:55.040 people, you

01:02:56.300 know, we don't

01:02:57.120 need to get

01:02:57.580 every single

01:02:58.280 person.

01:03:00.720 Now, I know a

01:03:01.560 lot of you say,

01:03:02.660 well, I don't

01:03:03.420 know who you

01:03:04.220 talk to, so

01:03:04.980 therefore it's

01:03:05.680 irrelevant to me,

01:03:07.240 I want them

01:03:07.960 all gone.

01:03:09.900 I get that.

01:03:11.800 What I'm

01:03:12.360 telling you is

01:03:13.140 it might not

01:03:14.000 be people you

01:03:15.000 don't know

01:03:15.520 forever.

01:03:17.200 It might start

01:03:17.980 bleeding over

01:03:18.640 into your

01:03:19.280 actual life.

01:03:20.840 And when it

01:03:21.260 does, people

01:03:22.840 are going to

01:03:23.080 have a different

01:03:23.580 opinion about

01:03:24.320 it.

01:03:24.780 So, that's my

01:03:25.400 prediction.

01:03:27.240 All right.

01:03:29.940 China has

01:03:30.720 allegedly been

01:03:31.500 working on

01:03:32.020 super soldiers.

01:03:34.080 News Nation

01:03:34.860 had a former

01:03:36.620 senior intelligence

01:03:37.660 officer in the

01:03:38.580 Defense Intelligence

01:03:39.460 Agency who

01:03:40.780 says that China

01:03:43.640 allegedly is

01:03:45.640 trying to

01:03:46.120 genetically alter

01:03:47.320 their people

01:03:48.920 to make

01:03:49.360 super soldiers,

01:03:50.500 to which I

01:03:51.360 say, you're a

01:03:52.560 little too late,

01:03:53.380 China, because

01:03:54.400 our robots are

01:03:55.320 going to enjoy

01:03:55.820 killing your

01:03:56.540 super soldiers.

01:03:59.100 Super soldier is

01:04:00.560 never going to be

01:04:01.320 better than a

01:04:01.960 robot, if you

01:04:03.320 know what I

01:04:03.680 mean.

01:04:04.540 So, unless those

01:04:05.840 super soldiers roll

01:04:06.940 out this week,

01:04:07.780 by next year,

01:04:10.780 they'll just be

01:04:11.740 target practice

01:04:12.600 for our robots.

01:04:15.780 And then,

01:04:16.940 according to

01:04:17.720 Nature, the

01:04:19.100 publication,

01:04:20.880 there are a

01:04:21.420 bunch of low

01:04:21.920 quality scientific

01:04:22.940 papers being

01:04:23.800 submitted, like

01:04:24.860 more than ever,

01:04:26.140 because people

01:04:26.900 are using AI

01:04:27.760 on public

01:04:28.420 databases.

01:04:29.760 So, they're

01:04:30.140 just using AI

01:04:31.020 to sort of do

01:04:32.180 the research and

01:04:32.960 write up the

01:04:33.520 paper.

01:04:34.040 So, before

01:04:36.860 that was

01:04:37.360 happening, the

01:04:39.360 scientific papers

01:04:40.800 that were

01:04:41.300 submitted and

01:04:42.140 approved, peer

01:04:43.640 reviewed, only

01:04:44.940 half of them were

01:04:45.660 even reproducible.

01:04:47.300 So, it was

01:04:47.660 basically a coin

01:04:48.780 flip if the

01:04:50.000 science was

01:04:50.620 right or made

01:04:51.500 up.

01:04:52.320 And now, it

01:04:53.320 looks like it

01:04:53.840 might be getting

01:04:54.340 worse, because

01:04:55.460 of all these

01:04:55.860 low quality

01:04:56.520 papers.

01:04:57.720 Anyway, that's

01:04:58.540 all I got for

01:04:59.060 you today.

01:05:01.460 And it looks

01:05:02.240 like the weekend's

01:05:03.040 here, we're

01:05:04.380 ready for the

01:05:04.980 weekend.

01:05:05.820 All right.

01:05:07.420 I'm going to

01:05:08.000 say bye to

01:05:08.680 most of you, and

01:05:09.740 I'm going to

01:05:10.140 privately talk to

01:05:11.240 my beloved

01:05:12.480 subscribers on

01:05:15.040 Locals for a

01:05:15.940 little bit of

01:05:16.400 extra.

01:05:17.800 And, of course,

01:05:18.620 they also had the

01:05:19.420 pre-show, which

01:05:20.580 you don't get to

01:05:21.300 see.

01:05:22.240 But, those of

01:05:23.600 you who are

01:05:24.060 about to
