00:00:00.000 Come on in.
00:00:01.620 Happy Saturday.
00:00:03.680 Good to see you.
00:00:05.300 There's room up front.
00:00:08.720 All right.
00:00:09.900 Let me get all the comments working.
00:00:12.640 And then we're ready
00:00:15.440 for the most special podcast of all time.
00:00:22.040 Says me.
00:00:24.680 All right.
00:00:25.720 Almost there.
00:00:30.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:00:33.620 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:00:38.920 Good morning, everybody,
00:00:40.580 and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:44.580 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams,
00:00:46.720 and you've never had a better time.
00:00:49.280 But if you'd like to take this experience
00:00:52.200 up to levels that no one can understand
00:00:56.800 with their tiny, shiny human brains,
00:00:59.700 all you need for that is a cup or mug
00:01:04.200 or a glass, a tank or a chelsea style,
00:01:06.040 a canteen jug or a flask,
00:01:07.600 a vessel of any kind.
00:01:09.800 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:11.580 I like coffee.
00:01:13.200 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:01:15.480 of the dopamine at the end of the day,
00:01:17.180 the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:19.300 It's called the simultaneous sip,
00:01:21.620 and it happens.
00:01:23.080 Now go.
00:01:24.240 Oh, that's good stuff.
00:01:32.700 All right.
00:01:34.020 Thank you, Paul.
00:01:35.300 Well, it's Saturday,
00:01:37.420 and as tradition requires,
00:01:40.740 Owen Gregorian will do a spaces event on X
00:01:45.440 right after the show.
00:01:46.820 So after the show,
00:01:49.460 a few minutes after,
00:01:51.300 you'll be able to find
00:01:52.380 an active spaces event.
00:01:55.340 That's the audio feature within X
00:01:57.820 where people can talk to each other.
00:02:01.500 And you can talk about what we talked about
00:02:04.120 or something different, I suppose,
00:02:05.720 about the news.
00:02:08.360 So that'll be directly after the show.
00:02:10.300 Well, I wonder if there are any scientific studies
00:02:15.120 that didn't need to be done
00:02:16.680 because they could just ask me.
00:02:19.980 Huh.
00:02:20.380 All right.
00:02:20.920 Here's one.
00:02:22.320 Fox News is reporting.
00:02:24.860 Chloe Quill writes
00:02:26.400 that there is a news study
00:02:28.500 that shows that overeating
00:02:31.160 is roughly...
00:02:36.500 God.
00:02:37.220 There's one person in my life
00:02:39.840 who only texts me
00:02:41.300 when I'm on live stream.
00:02:43.720 How in the world?
00:02:45.320 Anyway.
00:02:46.560 So there's a study that says
00:02:48.360 that overeating is 10 times more important
00:02:50.840 than exercise.
00:02:52.780 So if you want to lose weight,
00:02:55.180 were you aware
00:02:56.180 that exercise doesn't make that much difference?
00:02:59.960 Exercise is very good for your health,
00:03:02.220 but it's not really much of a weight loss thing.
00:03:05.940 Now, what could they have done
00:03:08.880 instead of doing a big study?
00:03:12.420 Well, they could read my books
00:03:14.200 I wrote 15 years ago.
00:03:16.740 What I told you
00:03:18.940 because science has known this
00:03:20.500 for a long, long time.
00:03:22.840 It's not something I made up.
00:03:24.940 But this is one of the most
00:03:26.680 well-understood phenomena
00:03:28.480 in all of science.
00:03:30.860 that what you eat
00:03:33.040 is related to your weight
00:03:36.340 but not really your exercise.
00:03:39.180 Exercise is good
00:03:40.400 for its own benefits,
00:03:43.080 but it doesn't really help you
00:03:44.460 lose weight too much.
00:03:47.240 According to the new atlas,
00:03:49.840 Brodwin Thompson is writing,
00:03:52.320 that there's a universal cancer vaccine
00:03:55.440 that's coming up.
00:03:59.020 Now, so far,
00:03:59.940 it's only in animal trials,
00:04:01.800 but it's based on the,
00:04:03.460 believe it or not,
00:04:04.840 the mRNA platform.
00:04:08.880 And apparently,
00:04:10.220 they have successfully
00:04:11.760 used this vaccination,
00:04:15.480 this cancer vaccination,
00:04:17.720 on one kind of cancer,
00:04:20.380 glioblastoma.
00:04:21.580 And apparently,
00:04:23.340 it works.
00:04:24.200 And instead of killing
00:04:25.420 the cancer directly,
00:04:27.600 what it does is
00:04:28.340 it boosts your body's ability
00:04:30.180 to do it on its own.
00:04:32.720 And they've determined,
00:04:34.540 at least with animal studies,
00:04:36.420 that apparently the same technique
00:04:38.640 would work with
00:04:39.900 all cancers.
00:04:45.220 So,
00:04:46.220 they still have to do
00:04:47.460 animal studies
00:04:48.300 and then they would have to do
00:04:49.500 human studies.
00:04:50.400 But,
00:04:52.440 it turns out
00:04:53.600 that there might be
00:04:55.380 a cure for all cancer
00:04:57.380 that's just a few years away.
00:05:01.000 Now,
00:05:01.980 I know,
00:05:03.160 I know,
00:05:04.460 that this,
00:05:05.120 there's a cure for cancer
00:05:06.840 around the bend.
00:05:08.300 It has been the same story
00:05:09.980 since I was
00:05:12.240 probably in my
00:05:14.980 teens.
00:05:17.420 And it hasn't been right yet.
00:05:19.240 So,
00:05:20.380 why would it be right
00:05:21.140 this time?
00:05:21.720 Well,
00:05:22.400 it would be right this time
00:05:23.460 because I'd need it
00:05:24.340 to be right.
00:05:25.400 So,
00:05:25.740 if I can just
00:05:26.700 stay alive
00:05:28.160 for a few more years,
00:05:30.660 maybe I can get into the,
00:05:32.240 you know,
00:05:33.860 into some kind of a test.
00:05:35.920 Maybe.
00:05:37.480 So,
00:05:38.220 I have two words.
00:05:40.920 Hurry up.
00:05:41.780 I'm going to need this
00:05:44.400 a little bit faster
00:05:45.360 than your usual schedule.
00:05:49.120 Well,
00:05:49.720 Bright Barrett News
00:05:50.540 is reporting
00:05:51.300 that
00:05:51.760 there were
00:05:53.000 85 Minnesota
00:05:54.640 autism clinics
00:05:56.100 where they specialize
00:05:57.440 in treating
00:05:58.300 autistic
00:05:58.980 children,
00:06:00.400 I think,
00:06:00.780 mostly.
00:06:01.840 And they're under
00:06:02.780 investigation
00:06:03.480 for millions of dollars
00:06:04.980 in Medicaid fraud.
00:06:06.240 so 85
00:06:08.380 autism
00:06:09.220 clinics.
00:06:11.040 I didn't even know
00:06:11.620 there was such a thing.
00:06:13.300 And apparently
00:06:14.220 they were
00:06:14.920 claiming
00:06:15.880 they did some treatments
00:06:17.020 that they didn't do.
00:06:18.300 Massively,
00:06:18.900 they were claiming that.
00:06:20.540 And so,
00:06:21.980 they're getting
00:06:22.580 pinched on that.
00:06:24.800 Now,
00:06:25.240 how many times
00:06:26.080 have I told you
00:06:27.020 on my
00:06:27.520 live streams
00:06:28.740 that
00:06:29.740 everything
00:06:30.380 that
00:06:30.880 can be
00:06:31.960 corrupted
00:06:32.880 is
00:06:34.420 whenever
00:06:36.580 you have
00:06:37.100 a situation
00:06:37.780 where a lot
00:06:38.940 of money
00:06:39.340 is involved,
00:06:40.540 check,
00:06:41.360 a lot of people
00:06:42.720 are involved,
00:06:44.140 check,
00:06:45.160 and there's
00:06:46.240 enough time
00:06:47.080 that's gone by
00:06:47.960 for people
00:06:48.880 to figure out
00:06:49.580 how to
00:06:50.120 cheat it.
00:06:51.860 Under those
00:06:52.660 conditions,
00:06:53.800 which appear
00:06:54.400 to be all present
00:06:55.500 in this autism
00:06:56.500 clinic story,
00:06:57.940 under those
00:06:58.600 conditions,
00:06:59.760 how often
00:07:00.800 is there
00:07:01.440 massive
00:07:01.860 corruption?
00:07:02.880 And the answer
00:07:03.800 is,
00:07:04.340 every time.
00:07:05.820 Every time.
00:07:07.200 If you have
00:07:08.180 those conditions,
00:07:09.980 lots of money,
00:07:10.960 lots of people,
00:07:12.240 a lot of time
00:07:12.920 has gone by,
00:07:14.140 it's always
00:07:14.640 fraudulent.
00:07:16.700 You want
00:07:17.220 another example?
00:07:19.120 Well,
00:07:19.800 Kash Patel,
00:07:21.060 head of the FBI,
00:07:21.940 announced
00:07:22.240 indictments
00:07:22.980 for these
00:07:24.380 children's
00:07:25.120 nutrition
00:07:25.760 programs
00:07:26.600 also in
00:07:28.840 Minnesota.
00:07:29.700 What was
00:07:30.120 the other one?
00:07:31.360 Minnesota.
00:07:32.060 Okay.
00:07:32.440 Minnesota
00:07:32.960 seems to be
00:07:33.820 a hotbed
00:07:35.220 of corruption.
00:07:37.060 You don't
00:07:37.660 really expect
00:07:38.360 Minnesota to be
00:07:39.220 the most
00:07:39.740 corrupt state.
00:07:41.480 But Michael
00:07:42.400 at chance
00:07:42.920 is writing
00:07:43.380 in Breitbart
00:07:43.860 News that,
00:07:45.180 according to
00:07:45.740 Kash Patel,
00:07:47.560 the Minnesota
00:07:49.320 children's
00:07:50.140 nutrition
00:07:50.700 programs
00:07:51.540 scammed
00:07:52.700 millions
00:07:53.220 in COVID
00:07:53.880 funds.
00:07:54.440 so the
00:07:57.920 children's
00:07:58.500 nutrition
00:07:59.220 programs
00:08:00.160 involved a
00:08:01.220 lot of
00:08:01.520 people,
00:08:02.860 a lot of
00:08:03.620 money,
00:08:04.540 and apparently
00:08:05.940 enough time
00:08:06.640 went by
00:08:07.160 where people
00:08:08.440 could figure
00:08:08.960 out how to
00:08:09.400 cheat it.
00:08:10.320 So yes,
00:08:11.220 it would
00:08:11.780 appear that
00:08:12.940 100% of the
00:08:13.960 time that
00:08:15.220 it's possible
00:08:15.920 to have
00:08:16.320 corruption,
00:08:17.780 well,
00:08:18.180 there's
00:08:18.420 corruption
00:08:18.900 100%
00:08:20.500 of the
00:08:20.780 time.
00:08:21.040 Well,
00:08:25.480 according to
00:08:26.340 Nielsen
00:08:27.180 data,
00:08:28.240 YouTube is
00:08:29.180 the most
00:08:29.540 watched video
00:08:30.440 on your
00:08:31.100 big TV.
00:08:32.700 Now,
00:08:33.020 you might
00:08:33.300 say,
00:08:33.900 but it's
00:08:34.440 been most
00:08:35.540 watched for
00:08:36.120 a long
00:08:36.440 time on
00:08:36.900 my portable
00:08:37.980 device,
00:08:38.760 but now
00:08:39.420 it's also
00:08:39.940 the most
00:08:40.500 watched
00:08:41.040 content on
00:08:42.160 your big
00:08:42.560 TV set.
00:08:46.600 And I
00:08:47.800 would say
00:08:49.400 that that
00:08:49.880 makes sense
00:08:50.440 in my
00:08:50.800 life.
00:08:52.220 I
00:08:52.420 probably
00:08:52.800 watch,
00:08:54.480 I might
00:08:54.860 watch more
00:08:55.480 YouTube than
00:08:56.440 anything else.
00:08:57.340 Maybe not,
00:08:58.660 but it's
00:08:58.980 moving in
00:08:59.520 that direction.
00:09:01.100 However,
00:09:02.180 I don't know
00:09:02.640 if you've
00:09:02.940 noticed this,
00:09:04.020 YouTube is
00:09:04.840 being completely
00:09:05.660 destroyed by
00:09:07.160 AI.
00:09:08.860 Now,
00:09:09.480 it might be
00:09:10.020 just the
00:09:11.100 personal
00:09:11.720 recommendations
00:09:12.420 that come
00:09:13.160 to me,
00:09:14.040 but I
00:09:14.520 used to
00:09:14.960 love
00:09:15.280 listening to
00:09:16.020 all these
00:09:16.460 history
00:09:17.560 YouTubes.
00:09:19.400 You know,
00:09:19.600 it'd be like,
00:09:20.440 the ancient
00:09:21.320 Mesopotamians
00:09:22.420 or whatever,
00:09:23.420 and I
00:09:23.940 would love
00:09:24.240 those.
00:09:25.300 But I
00:09:26.820 guess the
00:09:27.220 people who
00:09:27.660 are good
00:09:28.060 at AI
00:09:28.700 figured out
00:09:30.040 they can
00:09:30.380 have AI
00:09:30.980 make that
00:09:31.540 kind of
00:09:31.940 content,
00:09:33.140 some historical
00:09:33.980 thing about
00:09:34.760 something you've
00:09:35.600 heard of,
00:09:36.580 and they're
00:09:37.760 so boring.
00:09:39.100 Oh my God,
00:09:40.180 they're boring.
00:09:41.820 And most
00:09:42.740 of the content
00:09:43.680 that when
00:09:45.060 I went
00:09:45.660 up to
00:09:46.280 YouTube,
00:09:47.060 most of
00:09:47.820 it is
00:09:48.540 AI.
00:09:49.880 And I
00:09:50.840 don't think
00:09:51.380 there was
00:09:51.880 even one
00:09:52.460 AI content
00:09:53.360 that I
00:09:55.000 got anything
00:09:55.540 out of.
00:09:56.560 They're all
00:09:57.100 just so
00:09:58.600 generic and
00:09:59.680 ugh.
00:10:01.160 So YouTube
00:10:02.020 has a problem.
00:10:03.200 They're going
00:10:03.480 to have to
00:10:03.780 police all
00:10:04.280 the AI,
00:10:05.000 I think.
00:10:05.240 in horrible
00:10:07.940 news,
00:10:08.680 I don't
00:10:09.020 know the
00:10:09.340 details of
00:10:09.960 this yet,
00:10:10.720 but a
00:10:11.000 vehicle,
00:10:12.620 apparently
00:10:13.220 suddenly drove
00:10:14.020 a vehicle
00:10:14.500 into a
00:10:15.240 crowd in
00:10:16.020 Santa Monica
00:10:16.660 Boulevard,
00:10:18.480 and 20
00:10:19.680 people who
00:10:20.260 were injured
00:10:20.740 and several
00:10:21.900 killed, I
00:10:22.740 guess, so
00:10:23.260 far.
00:10:24.000 So I
00:10:24.660 don't yet
00:10:25.140 know.
00:10:29.900 Fuck me.
00:10:31.660 Of course
00:10:32.340 it's an
00:10:32.800 emergency.
00:10:35.240 the one
00:10:38.860 person who
00:10:39.460 only texts
00:10:40.200 me during
00:10:40.720 my live
00:10:41.220 stream,
00:10:41.940 always an
00:10:42.460 emergency.
00:10:44.140 It's like,
00:10:44.740 are you
00:10:45.240 awake?
00:10:46.120 It's an
00:10:46.480 emergency.
00:10:48.080 Well, you
00:10:48.720 have to
00:10:48.960 wait.
00:10:51.700 So we
00:10:52.300 don't know
00:10:52.660 if that's
00:10:53.020 a terrorist
00:10:53.660 or a
00:10:54.180 crazy person
00:10:54.960 or bad
00:10:55.500 driving or
00:10:56.180 what that
00:10:56.540 is, but
00:10:56.920 we'll find
00:10:57.280 out.
00:10:58.720 The story
00:10:59.800 about Stephen
00:11:00.820 Colbert
00:11:01.560 getting
00:11:02.900 fired,
00:11:04.100 from his
00:11:05.940 job at
00:11:06.480 the Tonight
00:11:07.420 Show, the
00:11:08.100 Late Show.
00:11:09.140 What was
00:11:09.540 his show
00:11:09.920 called?
00:11:11.000 The Late
00:11:11.600 Tonight
00:11:11.980 Show, or
00:11:12.880 I don't
00:11:13.800 know.
00:11:14.060 I never
00:11:14.340 watched it.
00:11:15.860 But now
00:11:17.120 people are
00:11:17.740 suspecting,
00:11:18.760 the Democrats
00:11:19.340 are, that
00:11:20.500 maybe it
00:11:21.700 wasn't about
00:11:22.440 economics.
00:11:24.560 This is
00:11:25.300 such a
00:11:25.880 Democrat
00:11:27.560 point of
00:11:28.220 view.
00:11:28.360 even
00:11:30.380 though the
00:11:30.800 show was
00:11:31.240 losing $40
00:11:32.140 million a
00:11:33.160 year, people
00:11:34.820 thought that
00:11:35.360 the reason
00:11:35.780 probably wasn't
00:11:36.520 economics.
00:11:38.220 It was
00:11:38.660 rather trying
00:11:39.980 to make
00:11:40.400 Trump happy
00:11:41.220 so the
00:11:42.140 Trump
00:11:42.420 administration
00:11:43.080 will approve
00:11:43.860 a merger
00:11:44.680 that Paramount
00:11:48.100 wants to do
00:11:49.000 with some
00:11:50.420 other company.
00:11:50.920 And I
00:11:52.980 thought to
00:11:53.320 myself, are
00:11:55.040 Democrats that
00:11:57.060 economically
00:11:58.020 ignorant that
00:11:59.660 they think
00:12:00.140 somebody would
00:12:00.780 want to keep
00:12:01.440 a show on
00:12:02.020 TV that was
00:12:02.720 losing $40
00:12:04.240 million a
00:12:05.080 year and
00:12:06.020 didn't look
00:12:06.520 like it would
00:12:07.000 ever get
00:12:07.400 better, probably
00:12:08.400 would only get
00:12:09.000 worse.
00:12:10.820 So, you
00:12:13.040 know, it
00:12:13.360 makes me
00:12:13.780 wonder, is
00:12:14.780 this one of
00:12:15.260 those things
00:12:15.880 where the
00:12:16.960 Democrats know
00:12:18.180 it's not
00:12:18.880 really a good
00:12:19.680 attack on
00:12:20.400 Trump, but
00:12:21.560 they don't
00:12:21.920 care because
00:12:23.120 it's something
00:12:23.680 and they
00:12:24.240 don't have
00:12:24.560 anything else?
00:12:25.840 Like, well,
00:12:27.460 why don't we
00:12:28.100 make up some
00:12:29.100 stupid hoax
00:12:30.160 about Stephen
00:12:31.600 Colbert?
00:12:33.600 However, I
00:12:35.460 have to
00:12:35.880 admit, there's
00:12:37.380 a little bit
00:12:38.060 there.
00:12:40.560 Wasn't there
00:12:41.440 a similar
00:12:42.200 rumor that
00:12:43.320 when Tucker
00:12:43.900 Carlson got
00:12:45.020 canned by
00:12:45.960 Fox News,
00:12:47.440 the reason
00:12:48.460 Carlson had
00:12:49.140 something to
00:12:49.740 do with
00:12:50.240 the lawsuit
00:12:50.780 and maybe
00:12:52.300 there was a
00:12:52.840 side deal
00:12:53.460 that said,
00:12:54.340 all right,
00:12:55.520 we'll settle
00:12:56.280 this lawsuit,
00:12:57.520 but then
00:12:57.860 somebody said,
00:12:58.460 the only way
00:12:58.960 we'll accept
00:12:59.560 it is if
00:13:00.620 you also
00:13:01.240 fire Tucker
00:13:02.080 Carlson.
00:13:03.640 So,
00:13:04.200 sometimes
00:13:04.860 there's a
00:13:05.920 little bit
00:13:06.240 of a side
00:13:06.860 deal.
00:13:07.600 I don't
00:13:07.940 know if it
00:13:08.300 was true
00:13:08.700 with Tucker
00:13:09.360 and I
00:13:10.500 certainly
00:13:10.940 don't know
00:13:11.440 if it's
00:13:11.720 true with
00:13:12.180 Stephen
00:13:12.620 Colbert,
00:13:13.600 but the
00:13:14.260 Democrats
00:13:14.860 are,
00:13:16.400 I think
00:13:17.300 they're
00:13:17.560 justified
00:13:18.120 in asking
00:13:19.320 the question,
00:13:20.600 was this
00:13:21.720 part of
00:13:22.060 the deal?
00:13:23.380 But if
00:13:24.080 you're losing
00:13:24.580 $40 million
00:13:25.340 a year
00:13:26.080 and you
00:13:26.920 get canceled,
00:13:28.020 I feel
00:13:29.140 like there's
00:13:31.080 another reason
00:13:31.780 that's really
00:13:32.260 good,
00:13:32.720 $40 million
00:13:33.400 a year.
00:13:35.800 However,
00:13:36.800 the good
00:13:37.360 news is
00:13:38.120 that there's
00:13:40.020 already a
00:13:40.520 replacement
00:13:40.980 for Stephen
00:13:42.300 Colbert.
00:13:43.740 Stephen
00:13:44.300 Colbert's show
00:13:45.100 will run
00:13:45.580 through May
00:13:46.180 and May
00:13:48.520 is also
00:13:49.140 the end
00:13:49.900 of Jerome
00:13:50.580 Powell's
00:13:52.060 stay at
00:13:53.400 the Fed.
00:13:55.360 So,
00:13:55.620 Jerome Powell,
00:13:57.040 whose nickname
00:13:58.500 is Too
00:13:59.080 Late,
00:14:00.080 will be
00:14:00.620 hosting a
00:14:01.160 new show
00:14:01.580 called
00:14:01.940 The Too
00:14:02.880 Late
00:14:03.140 Show.
00:14:05.120 How many
00:14:05.860 of you
00:14:06.180 believe that's
00:14:06.860 true?
00:14:08.300 Anybody?
00:14:09.880 No,
00:14:10.440 that's not
00:14:10.920 true,
00:14:11.420 but it's
00:14:11.820 funny that the
00:14:12.600 show will run
00:14:13.180 through May,
00:14:13.820 which coincidentally
00:14:14.840 is when Jerome
00:14:15.640 Powell is
00:14:17.340 going to be
00:14:17.660 out of his
00:14:18.040 job and
00:14:18.440 his nickname
00:14:19.240 is Too
00:14:19.700 Late.
00:14:20.840 The Too
00:14:21.260 Late
00:14:21.500 Show.
00:14:22.520 Come on,
00:14:23.000 that's
00:14:23.240 funny.
00:14:26.500 The weird
00:14:27.260 thing about
00:14:27.800 doing jokes
00:14:28.860 on live
00:14:29.400 stream is
00:14:30.580 that there's
00:14:31.080 a delay
00:14:31.640 before I see
00:14:33.040 the LOLs
00:14:34.000 come through,
00:14:34.660 so I'm
00:14:34.900 like,
00:14:35.220 hmm,
00:14:35.740 did that
00:14:36.100 land?
00:14:37.360 Do I need
00:14:37.840 to reword
00:14:38.440 that one?
00:14:39.100 Because I
00:14:39.480 thought it
00:14:39.940 was a
00:14:40.220 winner.
00:14:40.420 Well,
00:14:43.020 the House
00:14:43.840 of Representatives
00:14:44.840 has approved
00:14:45.760 the $9
00:14:47.280 billion budget
00:14:48.300 cuts that
00:14:49.180 Trump wanted,
00:14:50.660 and that
00:14:50.920 would include
00:14:51.620 cuts to
00:14:52.440 NPR and
00:14:53.080 PBS.
00:14:53.800 Now,
00:14:54.120 it doesn't
00:14:54.500 put them
00:14:54.840 out of
00:14:55.080 business.
00:14:56.080 It just
00:14:56.500 reduces one
00:14:57.480 of their
00:14:57.800 multiple
00:14:58.360 sources of
00:14:59.140 income.
00:15:00.640 I love
00:15:01.860 how good
00:15:04.040 Trump is
00:15:04.900 at touting
00:15:05.820 his successes.
00:15:07.840 He is
00:15:08.180 really good
00:15:08.780 at it.
00:15:09.500 And remember
00:15:09.920 the criticisms
00:15:11.720 that were
00:15:12.340 always being
00:15:12.840 given to
00:15:13.280 Biden?
00:15:14.400 They'd say,
00:15:15.360 you know,
00:15:15.600 the real
00:15:15.900 problem is
00:15:17.240 that Democrats
00:15:18.600 are not
00:15:19.200 doing a good
00:15:19.960 job of
00:15:20.760 telling people
00:15:21.600 about their
00:15:22.120 successes.
00:15:23.800 And then
00:15:24.400 Trump gets
00:15:24.920 in office.
00:15:26.380 There's never
00:15:27.140 been anybody
00:15:27.940 better in
00:15:29.820 the history
00:15:30.280 of presidents,
00:15:31.620 or maybe in
00:15:32.200 the history of
00:15:32.780 everything that's
00:15:33.420 ever happened
00:15:33.900 anywhere in
00:15:35.060 any way,
00:15:36.040 who's been
00:15:36.720 better at
00:15:37.240 touting his
00:15:37.920 successes.
00:15:38.480 Trump is
00:15:40.080 really,
00:15:40.840 really good
00:15:41.480 at it.
00:15:42.280 Now,
00:15:42.460 he has a
00:15:42.880 lot of
00:15:43.160 successes
00:15:43.720 to tout.
00:15:44.740 That helps.
00:15:46.400 But here's
00:15:47.120 another one.
00:15:48.660 You know,
00:15:48.960 the $9
00:15:49.340 billion isn't
00:15:51.100 going to make
00:15:51.500 a big deal
00:15:52.240 to the
00:15:52.880 deficit.
00:15:53.840 it's not
00:15:54.500 enough to
00:15:55.320 make a
00:15:55.680 dent in
00:15:56.040 it.
00:15:56.900 But doesn't
00:15:57.980 it make
00:15:58.260 you feel
00:15:58.720 good to
00:16:00.060 know that
00:16:00.540 there was
00:16:01.000 something,
00:16:02.100 something,
00:16:03.160 finally,
00:16:03.960 that reduced
00:16:04.640 some part
00:16:05.840 of a budget
00:16:06.520 associated
00:16:08.100 with the
00:16:08.920 country.
00:16:10.540 Now,
00:16:11.160 it's not a
00:16:11.680 big deal,
00:16:12.820 but the way
00:16:13.320 it feels
00:16:14.240 is bigger
00:16:15.760 than how
00:16:16.740 big a deal
00:16:17.260 it is.
00:16:18.160 And that's
00:16:18.600 what Trump
00:16:19.120 gets right
00:16:19.660 every time.
00:16:20.940 He will
00:16:21.340 make you
00:16:21.860 feel that
00:16:23.320 things are
00:16:23.780 moving in
00:16:24.220 the right
00:16:24.460 direction.
00:16:25.260 And what
00:16:25.640 have I
00:16:25.920 taught you
00:16:26.520 about
00:16:26.920 economics?
00:16:28.460 The most
00:16:29.160 important thing
00:16:29.960 you need to
00:16:30.480 know about
00:16:30.880 economics,
00:16:32.200 aside from
00:16:32.820 the fact
00:16:33.220 that economists
00:16:34.500 are only
00:16:34.980 guessing,
00:16:36.660 maybe that's
00:16:37.640 rule one,
00:16:38.840 even the
00:16:39.520 professionals
00:16:40.080 are pretty
00:16:41.280 much just
00:16:41.820 guessing.
00:16:43.140 You know,
00:16:43.340 there's a
00:16:43.660 reason they
00:16:44.080 always disagree
00:16:44.780 on everything.
00:16:47.340 However,
00:16:48.160 the other
00:16:48.560 big rule
00:16:49.160 of economics
00:16:49.960 is that
00:16:50.980 economics are
00:16:51.960 driven by
00:16:52.540 expectations.
00:16:55.000 And if
00:16:55.460 people are
00:16:55.980 optimistic,
00:16:57.480 the economy
00:16:58.180 usually does
00:16:59.080 well,
00:16:59.880 because it
00:17:00.520 causes people
00:17:01.300 to act in
00:17:02.180 a way that
00:17:02.620 drives the
00:17:03.100 economy up.
00:17:03.820 They invest
00:17:04.400 because they
00:17:04.860 think,
00:17:05.340 oh,
00:17:05.940 this would
00:17:06.220 be a good
00:17:06.540 time to
00:17:06.920 do that.
00:17:07.740 Everything's
00:17:08.300 going well.
00:17:09.820 So Trump
00:17:10.580 is the
00:17:11.100 master of
00:17:11.880 all time
00:17:12.540 of convincing
00:17:14.360 people that
00:17:15.380 the economy
00:17:17.200 is already
00:17:17.800 going in the
00:17:18.440 right direction
00:17:19.020 when he's
00:17:19.700 in charge.
00:17:20.980 So this
00:17:22.240 budget cut
00:17:24.340 is part
00:17:25.680 of that.
00:17:26.480 It's not
00:17:27.040 terribly
00:17:27.500 important by
00:17:28.140 itself,
00:17:28.820 but the
00:17:29.500 more you
00:17:29.920 hear stories
00:17:30.660 about the
00:17:31.840 Trump
00:17:32.120 administration
00:17:32.880 cut some
00:17:34.540 expenses that
00:17:35.620 were unnecessary,
00:17:36.960 the happier
00:17:37.840 you'll be.
00:17:39.000 You'll think,
00:17:39.800 oh,
00:17:40.060 finally,
00:17:40.960 the adults
00:17:41.540 are in
00:17:41.940 charge.
00:17:42.900 So the
00:17:43.440 way you
00:17:43.760 feel about
00:17:44.460 it is
00:17:44.940 much more
00:17:45.460 important than
00:17:46.260 the $9
00:17:46.920 billion that
00:17:47.440 they cut.
00:17:47.900 well,
00:17:50.600 according to
00:17:51.480 Polymarket,
00:17:52.920 which is
00:17:54.560 just a
00:17:55.140 bunch of
00:17:55.620 people who
00:17:56.380 are asked
00:17:57.100 their opinion
00:17:57.760 and then
00:17:58.940 gamble on
00:17:59.520 stuff,
00:17:59.840 I guess,
00:18:01.160 the odds
00:18:03.280 of a
00:18:03.540 recession
00:18:04.040 have gone
00:18:05.120 down from
00:18:05.680 70% on
00:18:07.620 Polymarket.
00:18:08.240 I guess
00:18:10.500 that was
00:18:10.820 in the
00:18:11.300 spring
00:18:11.800 when we
00:18:12.420 were still
00:18:12.900 confused
00:18:14.180 about what
00:18:14.660 would happen
00:18:15.060 with tariffs.
00:18:16.680 And according
00:18:17.260 to Bright Bar
00:18:18.060 News,
00:18:18.760 Jasmine Jordan,
00:18:20.120 that 70%
00:18:21.160 chance of
00:18:22.120 recession
00:18:22.640 is now
00:18:23.820 all the way
00:18:24.280 down to
00:18:24.680 19%.
00:18:25.900 Now,
00:18:27.280 remember,
00:18:27.720 these are
00:18:28.140 not
00:18:28.500 economists,
00:18:30.740 but economists
00:18:31.540 also have
00:18:32.300 lowered their
00:18:33.100 estimate of
00:18:34.240 the risk
00:18:34.660 of recession.
00:18:36.240 So regular
00:18:37.020 people,
00:18:37.520 plus
00:18:38.920 economists,
00:18:39.740 are all
00:18:40.140 saying,
00:18:40.560 oh,
00:18:41.000 it doesn't
00:18:41.500 look like
00:18:41.880 a recession.
00:18:43.280 Now,
00:18:43.880 I remind
00:18:44.460 you that
00:18:45.020 Trump and
00:18:45.860 his administration
00:18:46.840 were really
00:18:48.580 the ones
00:18:49.060 saying,
00:18:49.660 no,
00:18:49.820 there's not
00:18:50.160 going to
00:18:50.340 be a
00:18:50.700 recession.
00:18:52.660 And now
00:18:53.480 we know
00:18:53.800 they were
00:18:54.100 right.
00:18:55.220 I mean,
00:18:55.780 I suppose
00:18:56.780 you could
00:18:57.420 say,
00:18:58.260 no,
00:18:58.600 but the
00:18:58.960 recession
00:18:59.460 will be
00:19:00.020 in the
00:19:00.840 autumn.
00:19:01.940 Well,
00:19:02.360 maybe,
00:19:03.480 but it
00:19:03.960 doesn't look
00:19:04.480 like it.
00:19:05.820 To me,
00:19:06.540 it looks
00:19:06.820 like,
00:19:07.520 I don't
00:19:08.020 know,
00:19:08.140 nine out
00:19:08.660 of ten
00:19:08.960 economic
00:19:09.580 signals
00:19:10.200 are in
00:19:10.540 the right
00:19:10.780 direction
00:19:11.240 at the
00:19:11.580 moment.
00:19:12.580 And we're
00:19:13.560 almost certainly
00:19:14.360 going to get
00:19:14.820 a rate cut.
00:19:16.160 If not
00:19:16.680 now,
00:19:17.900 then maybe
00:19:18.340 in the
00:19:18.680 spring,
00:19:19.300 and people
00:19:19.700 will anticipate
00:19:20.740 it,
00:19:21.400 and that
00:19:21.600 will make
00:19:21.900 them optimistic.
00:19:23.580 I really
00:19:24.260 don't see a
00:19:24.920 recession
00:19:25.300 happening,
00:19:25.920 unless there's
00:19:26.520 some brand
00:19:27.660 new thing
00:19:28.140 that happens
00:19:28.660 that we
00:19:29.000 don't know
00:19:29.360 about.
00:19:29.620 Trump is
00:19:32.700 managing the
00:19:33.440 expectations
00:19:34.180 of the
00:19:34.620 country
00:19:35.000 really,
00:19:36.360 really well.
00:19:37.460 And I
00:19:37.700 don't think
00:19:38.060 that story
00:19:38.600 gets enough
00:19:39.160 play,
00:19:39.760 because we
00:19:40.680 talk about
00:19:41.260 what Trump
00:19:41.780 says,
00:19:42.900 and we
00:19:43.660 think,
00:19:44.000 oh,
00:19:44.200 you know,
00:19:44.600 he's just
00:19:45.040 being a
00:19:45.400 salesman.
00:19:46.140 And then
00:19:46.480 we talk
00:19:47.240 about what
00:19:47.680 the economy
00:19:48.260 does,
00:19:49.560 and I
00:19:50.920 don't think
00:19:51.320 it's enough
00:19:51.760 connected.
00:19:53.360 The things
00:19:54.000 he says
00:19:55.000 do drive
00:19:56.340 the economy,
00:19:56.960 and in
00:19:58.340 a very
00:19:58.680 real way.
00:20:00.320 Speaking of
00:20:01.140 that,
00:20:01.900 Breitbart
00:20:02.300 News is
00:20:03.380 reporting
00:20:04.600 that gas
00:20:05.640 prices are
00:20:06.460 stable and
00:20:08.120 fairly low
00:20:09.240 compared to
00:20:10.160 where they
00:20:10.840 were under
00:20:11.340 Biden in
00:20:13.120 Trump's
00:20:13.540 second term.
00:20:14.960 So,
00:20:15.560 remember how
00:20:16.280 bored you
00:20:16.820 were in
00:20:17.580 the spring?
00:20:19.160 Blah,
00:20:19.540 blah,
00:20:19.820 blah,
00:20:20.100 gas prices.
00:20:21.520 Blah,
00:20:21.840 blah,
00:20:22.100 blah,
00:20:22.320 my eggs.
00:20:23.640 My eggs
00:20:24.220 are so
00:20:24.600 expensive.
00:20:26.340 And
00:20:26.620 Democrats
00:20:27.900 thought they
00:20:28.680 finally had
00:20:29.240 a winning
00:20:29.640 topic.
00:20:30.680 All right,
00:20:31.520 everybody,
00:20:32.340 we'll talk
00:20:33.000 about gas
00:20:33.840 and eggs.
00:20:36.120 And in
00:20:36.560 typical
00:20:37.040 Democrat
00:20:37.820 historical
00:20:39.920 pattern,
00:20:41.480 they picked
00:20:42.480 as their
00:20:42.960 attack line
00:20:43.660 the thing
00:20:44.520 that was
00:20:44.840 most likely
00:20:45.500 to blow
00:20:45.960 up in
00:20:46.240 their faces.
00:20:49.280 Just like
00:20:50.160 all the
00:20:50.480 lawfare
00:20:50.960 against
00:20:51.340 Trump
00:20:51.680 and getting
00:20:52.360 the,
00:20:53.260 you know,
00:20:53.680 getting the,
00:20:54.860 you know,
00:20:55.100 everything from
00:20:55.860 the attempt
00:20:56.360 assassination
00:20:57.100 to the,
00:20:57.840 you know,
00:20:59.520 the Russia
00:21:00.440 collusion
00:21:01.060 hoax.
00:21:02.500 Every time
00:21:03.340 they go
00:21:03.660 after Trump,
00:21:04.460 they managed
00:21:05.440 to pick
00:21:05.900 the only
00:21:06.520 thing that's
00:21:07.140 likely to
00:21:07.740 backfire.
00:21:09.100 All right,
00:21:10.000 now we've
00:21:10.420 got these
00:21:10.780 pictures of
00:21:11.540 him,
00:21:13.280 what do you
00:21:13.660 call it,
00:21:13.900 the mugshot?
00:21:15.920 We've got
00:21:16.680 him now.
00:21:17.840 We got
00:21:18.380 Trump to
00:21:18.940 have to
00:21:19.680 take a
00:21:20.060 mugshot.
00:21:21.200 Ho,
00:21:21.440 ho,
00:21:21.620 ho,
00:21:21.800 ho,
00:21:22.140 ho,
00:21:22.840 ho,
00:21:23.200 we've
00:21:24.400 got him
00:21:24.780 now.
00:21:25.860 And then
00:21:26.200 his supporters
00:21:26.980 say,
00:21:27.660 can I put
00:21:28.500 that in
00:21:28.840 a shirt?
00:21:29.380 That's
00:21:29.600 pretty
00:21:29.800 awesome.
00:21:32.020 And the
00:21:32.700 next thing
00:21:33.100 you know,
00:21:33.800 his popularity
00:21:34.520 goes up.
00:21:36.580 And so
00:21:37.340 the same
00:21:37.780 thing I
00:21:38.640 thought was
00:21:39.140 obvious with
00:21:39.820 the eggs
00:21:40.420 and the
00:21:40.800 gas.
00:21:41.840 The odds
00:21:42.940 of Trump
00:21:43.440 being able
00:21:43.940 to move
00:21:44.440 those two
00:21:45.040 things,
00:21:46.020 given that
00:21:46.520 they were
00:21:46.860 such priorities,
00:21:48.280 were pretty
00:21:48.740 high.
00:21:49.100 so the
00:21:50.660 Democrats
00:21:51.140 decided to
00:21:51.900 hitch their
00:21:52.620 fate to
00:21:55.000 eggs and
00:21:56.440 gas.
00:21:57.700 The two
00:21:58.460 things that
00:21:59.080 Trump probably,
00:22:00.800 and it
00:22:01.380 looks like
00:22:01.860 he succeeded,
00:22:03.300 had the
00:22:03.680 most ability
00:22:04.420 to fix.
00:22:06.000 Why would
00:22:06.700 they do
00:22:07.060 that?
00:22:08.140 Everything
00:22:08.620 they pick
00:22:09.220 is the
00:22:09.620 wrong thing
00:22:10.080 to pick.
00:22:12.020 You know,
00:22:12.300 Trump comes
00:22:12.940 in and he
00:22:13.340 goes,
00:22:13.600 we've got
00:22:13.820 to build
00:22:14.100 the wall,
00:22:15.180 we've got
00:22:15.460 all these
00:22:15.880 criminals
00:22:16.460 coming across.
00:22:17.340 well,
00:22:18.560 that just
00:22:19.000 is real.
00:22:20.780 And then
00:22:21.120 he can
00:22:21.500 fix that
00:22:22.040 and then
00:22:22.280 he gets
00:22:22.540 the credit
00:22:22.920 for it.
00:22:23.420 But the
00:22:23.800 Democrats
00:22:24.180 never pick
00:22:25.100 the right
00:22:25.480 thing.
00:22:26.480 They always
00:22:27.160 pick something
00:22:27.940 that he
00:22:28.640 can easily
00:22:29.360 turn to
00:22:29.900 his advantage,
00:22:30.880 either by
00:22:31.320 solving it
00:22:32.040 or by
00:22:34.180 his good
00:22:35.800 persuasion.
00:22:38.500 So
00:22:38.740 eggs,
00:22:40.600 speaking of
00:22:41.900 which,
00:22:42.680 also in
00:22:43.140 Breitbart,
00:22:44.680 John Carney
00:22:45.480 is reporting
00:22:46.020 the egg
00:22:46.520 prices fell
00:22:47.320 19.8%
00:22:48.680 in June
00:22:49.560 and they're
00:22:50.540 down 61%
00:22:52.000 since February.
00:22:53.620 You know
00:22:54.020 what's weird?
00:22:56.540 For most
00:22:57.560 of my adult
00:22:58.180 life,
00:22:58.660 I've not
00:22:59.160 eaten eggs
00:23:00.260 for a
00:23:02.440 variety of
00:23:02.920 reasons that
00:23:03.580 don't really
00:23:04.140 matter.
00:23:05.360 But
00:23:05.640 as soon
00:23:07.960 as eggs
00:23:08.560 were too
00:23:09.060 expensive
00:23:09.620 for people
00:23:10.720 to afford,
00:23:11.880 I really
00:23:12.600 wanted some
00:23:13.180 eggs.
00:23:13.520 and I
00:23:16.520 was
00:23:16.680 completely
00:23:17.120 aware of
00:23:17.640 the fact
00:23:17.980 that I
00:23:19.080 was being
00:23:19.440 manipulated
00:23:19.980 by the
00:23:20.460 news.
00:23:22.100 As long
00:23:23.160 as the
00:23:23.540 news told
00:23:24.060 me that
00:23:24.440 eggs were
00:23:25.060 rare and
00:23:26.420 that only
00:23:26.860 rich people
00:23:27.460 could eat
00:23:27.880 eggs,
00:23:28.380 I just
00:23:32.500 said to
00:23:32.820 myself,
00:23:33.340 really?
00:23:33.580 so only
00:23:35.860 successful
00:23:36.660 rich people
00:23:37.460 can eat
00:23:37.900 eggs.
00:23:38.960 Well,
00:23:40.020 I'm going
00:23:40.400 to get a
00:23:40.800 dozen eggs
00:23:41.500 and see
00:23:42.340 how right
00:23:42.720 they are.
00:23:44.520 So I was
00:23:45.380 eating quite a
00:23:46.000 few eggs.
00:23:46.940 Then the
00:23:47.320 price of
00:23:47.780 eggs went
00:23:48.260 down,
00:23:49.360 and now
00:23:49.940 everybody can
00:23:51.520 afford eggs.
00:23:53.060 Well,
00:23:53.640 I've lost all
00:23:54.240 my interest
00:23:54.740 in them.
00:23:55.880 If I can't
00:23:56.840 feel superior
00:23:57.580 by eating
00:23:58.200 an egg,
00:23:59.340 I'll eat
00:24:01.400 something
00:24:01.700 else.
00:24:04.180 But egg
00:24:05.200 prices and
00:24:05.860 gas,
00:24:06.660 looking good.
00:24:08.260 Speaking of
00:24:09.120 eggs,
00:24:09.880 there's a
00:24:10.260 new study
00:24:10.900 out of the
00:24:11.740 University of
00:24:12.640 South Australia
00:24:13.600 that says
00:24:14.740 eating two
00:24:15.380 eggs a day
00:24:16.140 is actually
00:24:18.220 good for
00:24:19.020 your cholesterol
00:24:19.740 and not
00:24:20.480 bad.
00:24:22.360 Don't you
00:24:23.080 recall years
00:24:24.920 and years of
00:24:25.540 our life
00:24:26.020 where we
00:24:26.400 were told,
00:24:27.380 well,
00:24:27.820 the eggs
00:24:28.440 are okay,
00:24:29.940 but you
00:24:30.280 don't want
00:24:30.640 to overdo
00:24:31.320 it.
00:24:31.760 You're not
00:24:32.400 going to
00:24:32.620 want to
00:24:32.820 have two
00:24:33.400 eggs every
00:24:34.060 day because
00:24:35.760 that would
00:24:36.340 be too much
00:24:37.040 cholesterol.
00:24:38.180 Do you
00:24:38.320 remember that?
00:24:39.800 And now
00:24:40.140 this study
00:24:40.760 says that
00:24:41.880 two eggs
00:24:42.560 a day will
00:24:43.160 actually improve
00:24:44.240 your LDL,
00:24:45.940 which is your
00:24:46.700 good stuff,
00:24:47.580 I guess.
00:24:48.580 No,
00:24:49.140 it could reduce
00:24:49.760 your LDL
00:24:50.420 because that
00:24:51.400 was bad
00:24:51.880 stuff.
00:24:53.000 Ontario,
00:24:53.960 the wait
00:24:54.600 is over.

00:25:52.720 So, I was
00:25:55.880 looking back on
00:25:56.800 my history of
00:25:58.000 diet and
00:25:59.480 science.
00:26:01.120 And correct
00:26:01.800 me if I'm
00:26:02.480 wrong, but
00:26:03.920 over my
00:26:04.640 lifetime, science
00:26:06.000 has been wrong
00:26:07.280 about everything
00:26:08.480 about diet
00:26:09.360 fairly consistently.
00:26:12.520 And I think
00:26:13.300 almost everything
00:26:14.160 except maybe
00:26:15.020 soda.
00:26:16.360 Soda has always
00:26:17.340 been considered
00:26:18.280 not the best
00:26:19.120 thing for you.
00:26:20.080 But almost
00:26:21.080 everything else
00:26:22.240 went through
00:26:23.600 a phase where
00:26:24.880 somebody said
00:26:25.480 it was bad
00:26:26.000 for you,
00:26:26.640 only to be
00:26:27.780 redeemed later
00:26:28.780 by science.
00:26:30.620 In both cases,
00:26:31.660 science was
00:26:32.800 driving it.
00:26:34.160 And it just
00:26:34.880 feels like
00:26:35.340 guessing.
00:26:36.860 I mean,
00:26:37.160 almost everything
00:26:38.180 in the diet
00:26:39.100 category just
00:26:40.600 feels like
00:26:41.100 guessing.
00:26:41.940 It's so damn
00:26:42.640 weird.
00:26:45.080 So, you can
00:26:45.980 have your eggs.
00:26:49.700 All right.
00:26:50.380 these next few
00:26:51.860 stories have
00:26:53.140 something in
00:26:53.840 common, which
00:26:55.120 is I don't
00:26:55.840 understand them
00:26:56.680 at all.
00:26:57.900 And I'm in
00:26:58.980 good company
00:26:59.660 because you
00:27:00.680 won't understand
00:27:01.460 them either.
00:27:02.540 But they're big
00:27:03.500 headline stories.
00:27:05.220 So, I spent
00:27:06.380 most of this
00:27:07.480 morning looking
00:27:08.740 at the headlines
00:27:09.500 and then going
00:27:10.140 to Grok and
00:27:10.900 saying, can you
00:27:12.080 explain to me
00:27:13.020 what this story
00:27:13.940 is really about?
00:27:15.180 Can you tell me
00:27:16.140 the context?
00:27:17.300 Or why would I
00:27:18.100 care about this?
00:27:19.000 Or why is it
00:27:19.660 even a story?
00:27:21.060 All right.
00:27:21.320 Let's see how
00:27:21.940 close you can
00:27:24.080 get to
00:27:24.420 understanding
00:27:24.900 this.
00:27:26.800 So, Trump
00:27:27.760 signed what's
00:27:29.080 called the
00:27:29.440 Genius Act
00:27:30.620 into law.
00:27:32.160 And it's
00:27:32.680 legislation that
00:27:33.660 will pave the
00:27:34.260 way for the
00:27:35.480 U.S. to lead
00:27:36.320 the global
00:27:36.860 digital currency
00:27:37.920 revolution.
00:27:39.780 So, everybody
00:27:40.820 understands that?
00:27:42.820 Do you
00:27:43.180 understand
00:27:43.820 cryptocurrency?
00:27:44.680 And do you
00:27:46.220 understand why
00:27:46.960 the Genius Act
00:27:48.540 is going to
00:27:50.140 be good for
00:27:50.740 the U.S.
00:27:51.920 in terms of
00:27:52.560 cryptocurrency?
00:27:54.340 No, of course
00:27:55.260 you don't.
00:27:58.520 The news has
00:28:00.020 just become so
00:28:00.820 complicated and
00:28:02.600 so technical.
00:28:05.500 I have no idea
00:28:06.740 what this means.
00:28:08.000 No idea.
00:28:09.000 Was there some
00:28:09.620 problem I didn't
00:28:10.400 know about?
00:28:10.880 Well, so I
00:28:12.720 went to
00:28:13.060 Grok and I
00:28:15.420 said, why do
00:28:16.300 we need the
00:28:17.120 Genius Act?
00:28:18.960 And Grok
00:28:19.760 told me, it
00:28:20.760 establishes a
00:28:21.740 comprehensive
00:28:22.360 regulatory
00:28:23.220 framework for
00:28:24.980 stablecoins in
00:28:27.300 the U.S.
00:28:28.780 Do you know
00:28:29.440 what the next
00:28:29.960 thing I had to
00:28:30.600 ask you was?
00:28:33.060 Why do we
00:28:33.880 care about
00:28:34.540 stablecoins?
00:28:36.540 Now, what the
00:28:36.960 hell is a
00:28:37.360 stablecoin?
00:28:39.540 Have I lost
00:28:40.460 you all yet?
00:28:41.860 Are you all
00:28:42.520 in the same
00:28:42.880 place I am?
00:28:43.580 Which is, I
00:28:44.120 have no idea
00:28:44.700 what's going
00:28:45.160 on.
00:28:45.980 No idea.
00:28:47.360 But a
00:28:48.240 stablecoin is
00:28:50.060 a cryptocurrency
00:28:51.180 that would, in
00:28:53.640 this particular
00:28:54.460 example of the
00:28:55.300 Genius Act,
00:28:56.260 would be issued
00:28:57.180 usually by a
00:28:58.080 bank or some
00:28:58.940 credible
00:29:00.140 institution.
00:29:01.680 But what
00:29:02.100 makes it a
00:29:02.880 stablecoin is
00:29:04.620 that the
00:29:05.120 crypto would
00:29:05.920 only move
00:29:06.520 with the
00:29:06.940 dollar.
00:29:07.700 So if the
00:29:08.180 dollar was
00:29:08.740 worth a little
00:29:09.220 more, so
00:29:09.900 would the
00:29:10.400 crypto, but
00:29:11.680 it would
00:29:11.880 always be
00:29:12.340 tied to
00:29:12.920 the value
00:29:13.900 of the
00:29:14.200 dollar.
00:29:15.760 Now, you
00:29:16.400 might say,
00:29:17.920 why do we
00:29:20.060 need to have
00:29:20.900 comprehensive
00:29:22.060 regulatory
00:29:22.680 framework?
00:29:24.500 Well, now
00:29:27.080 you're well
00:29:28.140 beyond my
00:29:28.840 ability to
00:29:29.560 explain what's
00:29:30.380 going on.
00:29:31.300 There must
00:29:31.780 be some
00:29:32.700 ways that
00:29:33.220 this can go
00:29:33.920 wrong and
00:29:34.860 having a good
00:29:35.520 framework for
00:29:36.440 this and
00:29:37.700 allowing stable
00:29:38.620 coins.
00:29:39.220 I think the
00:29:39.700 big change
00:29:40.360 is that it
00:29:41.360 allows the
00:29:42.040 stable coins
00:29:42.720 to thrive
00:29:43.480 because people
00:29:44.560 will feel
00:29:44.960 safer about
00:29:46.760 that.
00:29:47.860 And I
00:29:48.420 know that
00:29:48.780 there's a
00:29:49.120 benefit if
00:29:49.960 you're making
00:29:50.360 payments
00:29:50.900 overseas.
00:29:52.380 Have you
00:29:52.900 ever tried to
00:29:53.500 pay somebody
00:29:54.300 a lot of
00:29:55.440 money and
00:29:56.360 you had to
00:29:56.700 use a bank
00:29:57.360 and then you
00:29:59.120 say, I'd
00:29:59.560 like to send
00:30:00.540 a wire and
00:30:02.780 it's this
00:30:03.140 gigantic pain in
00:30:04.140 the ass and
00:30:04.740 they take a
00:30:05.260 big fee and
00:30:06.020 you wonder
00:30:06.480 why does it
00:30:07.520 take overnight
00:30:08.120 to send a
00:30:08.760 wire?
00:30:10.500 Well, if you
00:30:11.460 add these
00:30:12.800 stable coins,
00:30:14.160 apparently you
00:30:14.960 would just say
00:30:15.540 to your trading
00:30:16.920 partner in
00:30:17.660 another country,
00:30:18.960 all right,
00:30:20.260 what's your
00:30:20.800 account number?
00:30:21.620 I'm sending
00:30:22.160 you some crypto
00:30:23.100 and there
00:30:23.600 wouldn't be
00:30:23.880 any charge.
00:30:24.820 So there
00:30:25.140 would be no
00:30:25.640 middleman to
00:30:26.520 take a piece
00:30:27.660 of it.
00:30:28.580 So some of
00:30:29.380 it probably
00:30:30.540 has to do
00:30:31.040 with privacy
00:30:31.780 and some of
00:30:32.640 it has to
00:30:33.060 do with
00:30:33.360 regulatory
00:30:33.820 fiduciary
00:30:36.460 responsibility,
00:30:37.560 but we
00:30:37.980 don't really
00:30:38.360 understand it.
00:30:40.740 Well, what
00:30:42.060 else is in
00:30:42.660 the news?
00:30:43.200 Oh, President
00:30:44.300 Trump vowed
00:30:45.060 to never
00:30:45.420 allow the
00:30:45.920 creation of
00:30:46.600 a central
00:30:47.200 bank digital
00:30:48.280 currency,
00:30:49.200 which would
00:30:50.240 be a crypto
00:30:51.160 that would
00:30:51.840 be sort of
00:30:52.640 a direct
00:30:53.060 replacement for
00:30:53.900 the dollar.
00:30:54.920 So he says
00:30:55.440 that's not
00:30:55.900 going to
00:30:56.100 happen.
00:30:57.900 Why?
00:30:58.880 Well, there
00:30:59.980 would be
00:31:00.220 problems with
00:31:01.060 privacy and
00:31:02.080 it would give
00:31:02.400 the government
00:31:02.880 too much
00:31:03.400 control because
00:31:05.020 they could
00:31:05.340 watch what
00:31:05.840 you're doing
00:31:06.280 and they
00:31:06.620 could turn
00:31:07.200 off your
00:31:07.540 ability to
00:31:08.080 do it.
00:31:08.940 To which I
00:31:09.720 say, how
00:31:11.140 is that really
00:31:11.740 different than
00:31:12.560 the regular
00:31:13.760 dollar?
00:31:15.400 You know that
00:31:16.440 if the government
00:31:17.100 wants to look
00:31:18.000 at your
00:31:18.480 transactions,
00:31:19.620 they're going
00:31:20.520 to need a
00:31:20.940 reason, but it
00:31:22.620 doesn't take much
00:31:23.320 of a reason and
00:31:25.040 they can get
00:31:25.740 some kind of
00:31:26.300 approval to
00:31:27.120 totally look at
00:31:28.880 what you're doing
00:31:29.420 with your
00:31:29.800 regular dollars.
00:31:31.280 So do you
00:31:31.860 really have
00:31:32.380 privacy when
00:31:34.020 it comes to
00:31:34.720 larger transactions?
00:31:36.600 No, you
00:31:37.020 don't.
00:31:37.940 You don't have
00:31:38.400 any privacy when
00:31:39.360 it comes to
00:31:39.800 large transactions
00:31:40.800 if your
00:31:42.640 government is
00:31:43.640 interested.
00:31:44.700 If they want
00:31:45.480 to look at
00:31:45.900 what you're
00:31:46.260 doing, they're
00:31:47.720 going to be
00:31:48.080 able to look
00:31:48.580 at it.
00:31:49.120 They always
00:31:49.600 have been
00:31:50.080 able to.
00:31:51.900 So do I
00:31:52.620 think that a
00:31:53.680 central bank
00:31:54.300 digital currency
00:31:55.320 would make it
00:31:56.080 that much easier
00:31:57.620 for the
00:31:58.040 government to
00:31:58.640 spy on you
00:31:59.260 and control
00:31:59.880 you?
00:32:01.540 I don't know.
00:32:03.540 Maybe.
00:32:04.580 But I think if
00:32:05.540 you think it's
00:32:06.200 a big deal,
00:32:07.760 you probably
00:32:08.480 don't realize
00:32:09.140 how easily
00:32:09.680 they can spy
00:32:10.480 on you now.
00:32:12.300 Anyway.
00:32:13.580 So those are
00:32:14.500 two things I
00:32:15.580 don't understand.
00:32:16.660 But what I do
00:32:17.340 like is that
00:32:18.880 David Sachs is
00:32:20.440 in charge of
00:32:21.340 explaining and
00:32:23.580 getting changes
00:32:24.640 in the government
00:32:25.340 that are going
00:32:26.100 to be helpful
00:32:26.580 for crypto.
00:32:27.620 And while I
00:32:28.480 don't think
00:32:28.960 that Trump
00:32:29.540 has a full
00:32:31.000 understanding
00:32:31.640 of this
00:32:32.140 crypto world,
00:32:33.460 I do think
00:32:34.080 that Sachs
00:32:34.740 does.
00:32:36.900 So this is
00:32:37.940 one of those
00:32:38.420 cases where
00:32:40.060 I'm willing
00:32:40.560 to trust
00:32:41.500 the plan
00:32:43.040 only because
00:32:46.280 I believe
00:32:47.060 that the
00:32:47.400 person in
00:32:47.900 charge is
00:32:49.420 smart enough
00:32:50.300 and honest
00:32:50.960 enough that
00:32:52.120 he would lead
00:32:52.740 us in the
00:32:53.140 right direction.
00:32:54.600 And we'll
00:32:55.960 see.
00:32:57.620 Well, the
00:32:59.080 story of
00:32:59.760 the alleged
00:33:01.340 Donald Trump
00:33:02.300 doodle on
00:33:03.180 a birthday
00:33:03.640 card to
00:33:04.800 Epstein when
00:33:05.520 Epstein was
00:33:06.120 50, so
00:33:07.080 that would
00:33:07.380 have been
00:33:07.620 years ago,
00:33:08.460 2003.
00:33:09.140 Jeffrey.
00:33:10.880 The new
00:33:11.680 wrinkle is
00:33:12.700 that Michael
00:33:13.160 Cohen, who
00:33:14.380 went to
00:33:14.760 jail and
00:33:15.500 he was
00:33:15.880 Trump's
00:33:16.800 attorney and
00:33:17.740 he loved
00:33:18.820 Trump when
00:33:20.240 they were
00:33:20.520 working together,
00:33:21.560 but then they
00:33:22.140 became enemies,
00:33:23.840 like really
00:33:24.940 enemies.
00:33:25.960 And even
00:33:26.480 Michael Cohen,
00:33:27.580 who remains,
00:33:29.000 I would say,
00:33:29.480 a big enemy
00:33:30.300 of Donald
00:33:30.800 Trump,
00:33:31.800 says,
00:33:32.420 quote,
00:33:32.660 during the
00:33:33.540 13-year
00:33:34.240 time period
00:33:34.840 that he
00:33:35.600 was close
00:33:36.420 to Trump.
00:33:37.420 I never
00:33:37.740 heard Trump
00:33:38.260 mention
00:33:38.640 Jeffrey
00:33:39.040 Epstein,
00:33:40.420 and over
00:33:40.920 13 years
00:33:41.820 of being
00:33:42.260 by the
00:33:42.940 man's
00:33:43.360 side,
00:33:44.140 I have
00:33:44.720 never once
00:33:45.300 seen him
00:33:45.680 doodle.
00:33:46.620 I never
00:33:47.180 saw him
00:33:47.560 draw a
00:33:47.920 picture.
00:33:48.600 In fact,
00:33:49.420 I would be
00:33:49.840 very shocked
00:33:50.500 if Donald
00:33:50.940 Trump actually
00:33:51.680 can doodle.
00:33:54.700 So I
00:33:56.280 feel at
00:33:56.880 this point,
00:33:57.480 the public
00:34:01.140 opinion,
00:34:01.860 at least
00:34:02.160 on the
00:34:02.520 right,
00:34:03.600 is that
00:34:04.180 the Wall
00:34:04.920 Street Journal
00:34:05.460 report is
00:34:07.060 fake news.
00:34:09.060 And maybe
00:34:10.260 they didn't
00:34:10.820 intend it
00:34:11.360 that way,
00:34:12.300 maybe,
00:34:13.540 but it
00:34:15.200 doesn't look
00:34:15.720 like the
00:34:16.080 evidence that
00:34:16.860 they produced
00:34:17.540 is reliable.
00:34:19.680 To me,
00:34:20.280 this looks
00:34:20.680 like bullshit.
00:34:22.020 Now,
00:34:22.920 bolstering the
00:34:24.260 idea that
00:34:25.280 it's fake
00:34:25.900 news,
00:34:26.300 Trump is
00:34:28.000 suing
00:34:28.540 Murdoch
00:34:29.860 and the
00:34:30.320 Wall Street
00:34:30.640 Journal
00:34:31.000 for
00:34:32.480 producing
00:34:36.080 that article
00:34:36.800 which Trump
00:34:37.740 would say
00:34:38.140 they would
00:34:38.560 know was
00:34:39.080 fake.
00:34:40.220 Otherwise,
00:34:40.900 it wouldn't
00:34:41.240 be a
00:34:41.780 problem.
00:34:42.560 If they
00:34:42.900 did it
00:34:43.360 accidentally,
00:34:45.300 thinking it
00:34:45.940 was real,
00:34:46.580 I think
00:34:46.900 they're safe.
00:34:48.400 But if
00:34:49.060 they knew
00:34:49.520 it wasn't
00:34:50.020 real,
00:34:51.420 and they
00:34:51.820 did it
00:34:52.280 anyway,
00:34:53.180 well,
00:34:54.220 then they
00:34:55.000 might have
00:34:55.340 some legal
00:34:55.800 problems
00:34:56.200 with
00:34:56.440 Trump.
00:34:56.940 So he's
00:34:57.340 got his
00:34:57.640 lawsuit
00:34:57.960 going.
00:34:59.100 He says
00:34:59.520 he's
00:34:59.740 looking
00:34:59.960 forward
00:35:00.360 to
00:35:00.560 Murdoch
00:35:01.020 testifying.
00:35:03.280 All right.
00:35:05.480 But what
00:35:06.600 would be
00:35:06.960 the most
00:35:07.620 predictable
00:35:08.260 part of
00:35:08.920 this story?
00:35:10.280 The most
00:35:10.940 predictable
00:35:11.620 thing.
00:35:12.640 The most
00:35:13.480 predictable
00:35:13.980 thing would
00:35:15.560 be that
00:35:16.100 we would
00:35:17.520 someday
00:35:17.880 find out
00:35:18.560 that the
00:35:19.140 reporter
00:35:19.680 behind the
00:35:21.060 story for
00:35:21.700 the Wall
00:35:22.040 Street Journal
00:35:22.540 has some
00:35:23.760 connection
00:35:24.280 to the
00:35:24.980 Democrat
00:35:25.560 deep
00:35:26.020 state.
00:35:27.500 Do you
00:35:28.060 think that
00:35:28.600 maybe that's
00:35:29.200 true?
00:35:30.720 Well,
00:35:31.900 it turns
00:35:32.340 out,
00:35:32.960 the gateway
00:35:34.100 pundit is
00:35:34.780 writing,
00:35:37.280 that
00:35:37.640 according to,
00:35:39.300 let's see,
00:35:39.780 real clear
00:35:40.260 politics and
00:35:40.940 national
00:35:41.260 political
00:35:41.760 correspondent
00:35:42.540 Susan
00:35:43.260 Crabtree
00:35:44.020 uncovered a
00:35:47.180 damning
00:35:47.540 connection
00:35:48.080 between the
00:35:49.000 reporter who
00:35:49.740 wrote that
00:35:50.140 story about
00:35:50.860 the birthday
00:35:51.820 card and
00:35:52.480 the little
00:35:52.680 drawing on
00:35:53.140 it.
00:35:55.080 It's Joe
00:35:56.260 Palazzolo.
00:35:58.800 And
00:35:58.920 apparently he
00:36:00.020 was connected
00:36:02.500 with, let's
00:36:03.120 say, he
00:36:03.500 previously
00:36:04.100 worked as a
00:36:05.280 reporter for
00:36:05.940 something called
00:36:06.560 Maine Justice.
00:36:08.260 So, so far
00:36:09.120 you're saying,
00:36:09.980 well, that's
00:36:10.420 nothing.
00:36:11.560 But Maine
00:36:12.060 Justice was a
00:36:13.760 publication run
00:36:14.880 by Glenn
00:36:16.040 Simpson's wife.
00:36:18.080 Have you
00:36:20.100 made the
00:36:20.460 connection yet?
00:36:21.840 Glenn
00:36:22.220 Simpson was
00:36:24.340 the founder
00:36:25.200 of Fusion
00:36:26.080 GPS.
00:36:27.600 Are you
00:36:28.480 there yet?
00:36:29.860 Have you
00:36:30.180 made the
00:36:30.520 connection yet?
00:36:32.120 Fusion
00:36:32.600 GPS was
00:36:34.280 behind the
00:36:34.920 Steele
00:36:35.320 dossier.
00:36:37.500 So at
00:36:38.420 the same
00:36:38.880 time,
00:36:40.780 and we'll
00:36:41.660 talk about
00:36:42.180 this, that
00:36:42.980 the Trump
00:36:44.240 administration
00:36:44.880 is putting
00:36:45.680 all kinds
00:36:46.240 of pressure
00:36:46.720 on the
00:36:47.820 creators of
00:36:48.760 the Steele
00:36:49.740 dossier and
00:36:50.640 all the
00:36:50.960 fake Russia
00:36:51.720 collusion
00:36:52.260 hoax.
00:36:53.680 At the
00:36:53.980 same time,
00:36:55.280 the Wall
00:36:55.580 Street Journal
00:36:56.200 coincidentally
00:36:57.560 produces a
00:36:58.860 major story
00:36:59.880 in which
00:37:01.340 somebody who
00:37:02.420 was, let me
00:37:03.300 say it again,
00:37:04.760 the reporter who
00:37:05.760 wrote the story
00:37:06.360 used to work
00:37:07.340 for Glenn
00:37:08.220 Simpson's wife,
00:37:09.940 and Glenn
00:37:10.340 Simpson was
00:37:11.300 the one whose
00:37:12.340 firm was behind
00:37:13.540 the Steele
00:37:14.100 dossier, which
00:37:14.880 we know
00:37:15.280 was fake.
00:37:17.500 So, don't
00:37:19.640 you think we
00:37:20.600 need an AI
00:37:21.800 program that
00:37:22.880 will do this
00:37:23.480 automatically?
00:37:26.280 I feel like
00:37:27.360 it could do
00:37:27.860 it, because
00:37:28.800 these connections
00:37:29.820 are always
00:37:30.380 public, like
00:37:31.860 you can always
00:37:32.360 find a story
00:37:33.260 or a connection
00:37:33.980 or a LinkedIn
00:37:34.780 profile or
00:37:35.680 something.
00:37:36.800 So I would
00:37:37.780 love to know
00:37:38.440 every time a
00:37:39.520 reporter writes
00:37:40.260 a negative
00:37:40.760 piece on
00:37:41.460 somebody, I
00:37:42.800 would like to
00:37:43.320 know, ah, so
00:37:45.540 what's your
00:37:46.160 spouse do?
00:37:47.740 Where did your
00:37:48.580 spouse work
00:37:49.380 before this?
00:37:50.680 Where did you
00:37:51.300 work before this?
00:37:52.540 And did you
00:37:52.940 work with
00:37:53.340 anybody's spouse
00:37:54.320 that we should
00:37:55.260 know about?
00:37:56.980 The fact that
00:37:58.460 any human
00:37:59.360 being can make
00:38:00.160 these connections
00:38:01.000 is kind of
00:38:02.500 stunningly
00:38:03.520 impressive, but
00:38:05.820 someday maybe
00:38:07.200 AI.
00:38:07.600 Claudia was
00:38:10.060 leaving for
00:38:10.500 her pickleball
00:38:11.080 tournament.
00:38:11.620 I've been
00:38:11.880 visualizing my
00:38:12.680 match all
00:38:13.340 week.
00:38:14.120 She was so
00:38:14.740 focused on
00:38:15.240 visualizing that
00:38:16.120 she didn't see
00:38:16.720 the column behind
00:38:17.380 her car on her
00:38:18.280 backhand side.
00:38:20.140 Good thing
00:38:20.820 Claudia's with
00:38:21.460 Intact, the
00:38:22.280 insurer with the
00:38:23.060 largest network of
00:38:23.940 auto service centers
00:38:24.740 in the country.
00:38:25.840 Everything was
00:38:26.380 taken care of
00:38:27.020 under one roof,
00:38:27.920 and she was on
00:38:28.460 her way in a
00:38:28.920 rental car in
00:38:29.680 no time.
00:38:30.280 I made it to
00:38:31.040 my tournament and
00:38:32.520 lost in the
00:38:32.940 first round.
00:38:33.760 But you got
00:38:34.600 there on time.
00:38:35.620 Intact Insurance,
00:38:36.760 your auto service
00:38:37.520 ace.
00:38:38.220 Certain conditions
00:38:38.780 apply.
00:38:40.480 Well, CNN's
00:38:41.920 Harry Enten,
00:38:43.000 he's their data
00:38:44.020 guy, he says
00:38:47.340 that Republicans
00:38:48.120 are up a
00:38:48.900 shocking 12
00:38:49.940 points before
00:38:52.260 the 2026
00:38:53.500 midterms.
00:38:54.560 So I won't
00:38:55.200 give you all the
00:38:55.760 data involved
00:38:56.620 here, but the
00:38:57.600 basic is that
00:38:58.900 CNN's data
00:39:01.040 guy says that
00:39:02.820 this midterm
00:39:04.040 election is not
00:39:05.240 looking like
00:39:06.900 past patterns.
00:39:08.360 Past patterns
00:39:09.220 are that
00:39:09.680 whoever's in
00:39:10.300 charge loses
00:39:10.980 the midterms.
00:39:12.420 So if your
00:39:13.020 party has the
00:39:14.200 president, almost
00:39:16.020 always, the
00:39:17.280 midterm elections
00:39:18.260 where they're
00:39:18.720 only voting for
00:39:19.800 members of
00:39:20.760 Congress, almost
00:39:22.240 always, the
00:39:23.420 other team
00:39:24.260 picks up some
00:39:25.620 dominance in
00:39:26.340 that area.
00:39:26.840 America, but
00:39:28.220 Democrats are
00:39:31.180 way behind,
00:39:32.020 according to
00:39:32.540 Enten, their
00:39:33.620 2006 and
00:39:35.080 2018 pace
00:39:36.540 at this point
00:39:37.540 in the cycle.
00:39:38.460 Doesn't mean it
00:39:39.240 won't change.
00:39:40.800 You know, there
00:39:41.100 will be a million
00:39:42.040 hoaxes between
00:39:43.000 now and the
00:39:43.480 midterms.
00:39:43.880 Republicans, but
00:39:46.480 it looks like
00:39:47.100 the Democrats
00:39:47.700 are on the
00:39:49.160 verge of the
00:39:51.180 last morsel of
00:39:54.060 credibility that
00:39:55.240 they had, is
00:39:56.580 about to be
00:39:57.220 extinguished if
00:39:59.920 things go the
00:40:00.680 way it looks.
00:40:01.980 Now, I don't
00:40:02.960 predict it.
00:40:04.560 I feel like it's
00:40:05.660 bad luck to
00:40:06.440 predict it, you
00:40:08.120 know, because the
00:40:08.980 red wave didn't
00:40:09.720 happen, etc.
00:40:10.520 So I'm not going
00:40:11.420 to do that.
00:40:11.900 I'm not going
00:40:12.760 to predict that.
00:40:14.280 I've never seen
00:40:15.200 CNN be so, I
00:40:17.760 won't say
00:40:18.120 panicked, but
00:40:19.440 they're quite
00:40:20.120 aggressively
00:40:20.840 promoting the
00:40:22.700 idea that
00:40:23.180 Democrats are in
00:40:24.020 real trouble.
00:40:25.240 Is that true?
00:40:26.680 I don't know.
00:40:27.720 Maybe it's a
00:40:28.460 plot to get
00:40:29.220 more Democrats
00:40:30.040 to vote.
00:40:30.740 I don't know.
00:40:33.280 But you
00:40:34.740 should not, if
00:40:35.400 you're a Democrat,
00:40:36.160 you should not
00:40:36.660 be worried that
00:40:38.000 the Democrats
00:40:38.520 will never be
00:40:39.360 able to recover
00:40:40.160 from the deep,
00:40:41.500 deep hole that
00:40:42.260 they're in.
00:40:43.060 Because they
00:40:43.580 have a plan.
00:40:44.640 And their
00:40:44.980 plan, as you
00:40:46.000 know, is to
00:40:47.600 do more
00:40:48.760 swearing in
00:40:50.340 public, so
00:40:51.620 that they're
00:40:51.900 more like
00:40:52.300 Trump, and
00:40:53.500 to do more
00:40:54.580 pretending that
00:40:55.520 they're authentic.
00:40:57.940 Because the
00:40:58.840 Democrats literally
00:41:00.260 believe that
00:41:02.000 being authentic
00:41:02.860 is an act.
00:41:06.640 Now, I'm not a
00:41:07.700 mind reader, so
00:41:09.000 you might say,
00:41:09.620 Scott, you don't
00:41:10.240 know what
00:41:10.480 they're thinking.
00:41:11.700 Well, I don't
00:41:12.320 know what
00:41:12.540 they're thinking.
00:41:13.820 But the way
00:41:14.280 they act, and
00:41:15.700 the way they
00:41:16.180 talk, suggests
00:41:18.040 that they
00:41:18.680 believe that
00:41:19.360 Trump is only
00:41:20.240 pretending to
00:41:21.220 be authentic,
00:41:22.560 and somehow
00:41:23.140 pulling it
00:41:23.780 off.
00:41:25.120 Whereas, so
00:41:26.980 they believe
00:41:27.520 that they
00:41:27.960 can do the
00:41:28.420 same.
00:41:29.000 Well, we
00:41:29.640 could pretend
00:41:30.280 to be
00:41:30.620 authentic.
00:41:31.600 Let's just
00:41:32.240 copy what he
00:41:33.040 does.
00:41:33.900 Got it.
00:41:34.580 All right.
00:41:35.140 He does
00:41:35.580 these insults.
00:41:36.800 We can do
00:41:37.360 insults.
00:41:38.580 He does
00:41:38.980 swearing.
00:41:39.520 Oh, that's
00:41:40.240 what the
00:41:40.520 common person
00:41:41.140 does.
00:41:41.720 We can do
00:41:42.300 that.
00:41:43.360 And they
00:41:43.780 miss the
00:41:45.840 entire point
00:41:47.480 of it.
00:41:48.440 The point
00:41:48.920 of it is
00:41:49.400 that Trump
00:41:50.000 has largely
00:41:50.620 been consistent
00:41:51.540 forever.
00:41:52.960 You'd find
00:41:53.740 a few topics
00:41:54.660 where, over
00:41:55.620 time, he
00:41:56.280 changed.
00:41:58.160 But generally
00:41:58.820 speaking, Trump
00:42:00.440 has been
00:42:00.820 Trump for
00:42:02.980 almost my
00:42:03.780 whole adult
00:42:04.400 life.
00:42:05.840 So, yeah,
00:42:07.240 I don't think
00:42:07.720 you can, I
00:42:09.060 don't think
00:42:09.440 you can,
00:42:09.520 match his
00:42:10.520 authenticity
00:42:11.440 unless you've
00:42:12.860 got somebody
00:42:13.380 who has a
00:42:13.920 long track
00:42:14.720 record and
00:42:16.380 then they
00:42:16.800 are consistent
00:42:17.580 with their
00:42:18.060 long track
00:42:18.680 record.
00:42:19.460 Well, I
00:42:19.680 guess, I
00:42:20.660 guess Bernie's
00:42:21.400 authentic
00:42:21.820 because as
00:42:23.940 stupid as his
00:42:24.800 ideas are,
00:42:26.120 they've never
00:42:26.860 changed.
00:42:29.160 So, he's
00:42:30.080 sort of
00:42:30.460 authentic in
00:42:31.360 a bad way.
00:42:31.900 Well, Trump
00:42:35.580 said in
00:42:36.240 response to
00:42:36.900 some press
00:42:38.500 shouted
00:42:39.440 question, he
00:42:41.080 said, quote,
00:42:42.080 I was the
00:42:42.700 hunted, now
00:42:43.460 I'm the
00:42:43.800 hunter.
00:42:44.620 I feel like
00:42:45.280 he's used
00:42:45.740 that a few
00:42:46.200 times.
00:42:47.480 But do you
00:42:48.040 remember the
00:42:49.960 most mocked
00:42:50.960 I've ever
00:42:51.420 been over a
00:42:53.240 post on what
00:42:54.140 was old
00:42:54.520 Twitter?
00:42:54.840 the most
00:42:56.300 mocked and
00:42:57.720 abused I've
00:42:58.820 been is
00:43:00.000 when I did
00:43:00.560 a post that
00:43:01.800 said if
00:43:02.240 Biden is
00:43:02.860 elected, that
00:43:05.060 Republicans will
00:43:06.140 be hunted.
00:43:07.720 Oh, my God,
00:43:08.520 that became like
00:43:09.200 a national
00:43:09.720 headline.
00:43:10.240 And people
00:43:11.960 didn't argue
00:43:12.720 it, they
00:43:13.940 just mocked
00:43:14.780 it.
00:43:15.500 It's like,
00:43:16.200 look at
00:43:17.620 this guy.
00:43:19.180 Oh, my God.
00:43:21.060 He's, can
00:43:21.980 you believe it?
00:43:23.020 Can you
00:43:23.320 believe it?
00:43:23.960 This guy, this
00:43:25.060 cartoonist guy,
00:43:26.300 this Dilber
00:43:26.860 guy, he's
00:43:27.960 saying, oh, he
00:43:29.280 says that if
00:43:29.940 Biden gets
00:43:30.600 elected, come
00:43:31.860 on, come on,
00:43:32.720 this is just
00:43:33.240 hilarious.
00:43:34.080 He's saying,
00:43:35.040 this idiot is
00:43:36.480 saying that
00:43:37.040 Republicans will
00:43:37.900 be hunted.
00:43:38.400 Oh,
00:43:39.020 ha, ha,
00:43:39.620 ha, ha,
00:43:40.120 it's the
00:43:42.280 best prediction
00:43:43.020 I've ever
00:43:43.560 made.
00:43:45.380 Because no
00:43:46.660 one else
00:43:47.280 that I know
00:43:48.420 of, certainly
00:43:49.060 nobody in the
00:43:49.760 public sphere,
00:43:50.800 was making
00:43:51.860 that prediction
00:43:52.560 that early.
00:43:54.140 And then
00:43:54.540 what happened?
00:43:56.360 Republicans
00:43:56.900 got hunted.
00:43:58.460 Some of us
00:43:59.160 got canceled,
00:44:00.740 which you
00:44:01.180 might say,
00:44:01.700 well, that's
00:44:02.000 different.
00:44:02.780 You know, you
00:44:03.120 had that coming.
00:44:04.140 No, we
00:44:04.560 didn't.
00:44:05.480 No, we
00:44:05.920 didn't.
00:44:07.040 There were no
00:44:07.840 Republicans that
00:44:08.800 canceled me.
00:44:09.360 I didn't get
00:44:10.380 canceled by
00:44:10.980 one Republican.
00:44:12.220 Not even
00:44:12.680 one.
00:44:13.680 No, that was
00:44:14.620 part of getting
00:44:15.200 hunted.
00:44:16.400 The January
00:44:17.300 Sixers,
00:44:19.000 hunted.
00:44:21.020 The, how
00:44:21.800 about Trump
00:44:22.300 himself?
00:44:24.120 Hunted and
00:44:25.320 literally shot.
00:44:27.260 Hunted and
00:44:28.700 then literally
00:44:29.800 shot.
00:44:31.440 And that's
00:44:31.960 after all the
00:44:32.600 lawfare.
00:44:33.100 So,
00:44:34.560 generally
00:44:36.560 speaking,
00:44:37.860 I would
00:44:38.260 not be in
00:44:38.780 favor of
00:44:39.480 a politician
00:44:40.820 doing revengey
00:44:42.200 kinds of
00:44:42.760 stuff once
00:44:43.580 in office.
00:44:44.820 Because I
00:44:45.440 feel like,
00:44:46.260 well, that's
00:44:46.780 a bad
00:44:47.140 precedent to
00:44:48.500 do revengey
00:44:49.480 stuff.
00:44:50.260 Because then
00:44:50.960 maybe the
00:44:51.400 other side
00:44:51.860 will do
00:44:52.200 some revengey
00:44:53.000 stuff.
00:44:53.900 To which I
00:44:54.800 now say to
00:44:55.440 myself,
00:44:56.500 Scott,
00:44:57.280 shut the
00:44:58.120 fuck up.
00:44:59.740 The things
00:45:00.320 that the
00:45:00.700 Democrats
00:45:01.200 did to
00:45:01.700 you,
00:45:02.620 the things
00:45:03.120 they did
00:45:03.460 to other
00:45:03.900 Republicans,
00:45:04.960 and the
00:45:05.280 things they
00:45:05.700 did to
00:45:06.120 the preferred
00:45:07.400 leader of
00:45:08.320 your political
00:45:09.780 movement,
00:45:10.640 Trump,
00:45:11.340 are so bad
00:45:12.620 that Trump
00:45:14.080 absolutely
00:45:14.840 should hunt
00:45:15.420 them down.
00:45:16.640 And that
00:45:17.220 a large
00:45:18.000 number of
00:45:18.440 them belong
00:45:19.280 in jail.
00:45:20.900 And you
00:45:21.500 would not
00:45:21.900 have to
00:45:22.240 make up
00:45:22.720 charges.
00:45:23.760 You would
00:45:24.080 not have to
00:45:24.620 pretend
00:45:25.020 something
00:45:25.440 happened that
00:45:26.040 didn't.
00:45:26.940 You could
00:45:27.500 just use
00:45:28.200 the
00:45:28.540 public
00:45:29.220 record
00:45:29.740 and start
00:45:31.320 locking up
00:45:32.020 people,
00:45:32.960 and maybe
00:45:33.620 that's going
00:45:34.700 to happen.
00:45:35.480 So I'm
00:45:36.200 completely
00:45:36.780 flipped on
00:45:38.080 the question
00:45:38.660 of presidential
00:45:40.040 revenge.
00:45:41.640 If the
00:45:42.400 other side
00:45:43.020 had done
00:45:43.420 a little
00:45:43.940 bit of
00:45:44.280 something
00:45:44.580 bad,
00:45:45.580 and then
00:45:45.980 Trump was
00:45:46.480 going to
00:45:46.720 do something
00:45:47.840 a little
00:45:48.180 worse,
00:45:49.280 I wouldn't
00:45:50.060 be in favor
00:45:50.520 of that.
00:45:51.460 But what
00:45:52.020 the Democrats
00:45:52.540 did was so
00:45:53.660 freaking bad
00:45:54.860 that you
00:45:55.760 can't get
00:45:56.300 worse than
00:45:56.720 that.
00:45:57.160 You have
00:45:57.540 to go to
00:45:57.940 jail for
00:45:58.400 that.
00:45:59.380 You have
00:45:59.840 to go
00:46:00.160 to jail.
00:46:01.400 And I
00:46:01.660 think maybe
00:46:02.760 there's some
00:46:04.060 possibility we'll
00:46:04.920 see some
00:46:05.360 of that.
00:46:07.460 But yeah,
00:46:08.500 he's a
00:46:08.960 hunter now.
00:46:11.600 Well,
00:46:12.200 apparently,
00:46:12.780 I didn't even
00:46:13.340 know this was
00:46:13.840 happening,
00:46:14.400 but there's
00:46:14.960 some big
00:46:15.880 success in
00:46:16.740 getting some
00:46:17.480 10 U.S.
00:46:18.880 citizens who
00:46:19.520 were detained
00:46:19.980 in Venezuela.
00:46:21.880 I didn't even
00:46:22.680 know that was
00:46:23.080 happening.
00:46:23.620 They have
00:46:23.800 been released,
00:46:24.440 and credit
00:46:25.960 is being
00:46:26.440 given to
00:46:27.460 Secretary
00:46:28.400 Rubio and
00:46:29.660 El Salvador's
00:46:31.580 leader,
00:46:32.540 Bukele.
00:46:33.480 So apparently
00:46:34.000 he was
00:46:34.520 helpful in
00:46:36.280 making that
00:46:37.200 happen.
00:46:38.600 Now,
00:46:38.940 I gotta say,
00:46:39.880 Reuters is
00:46:40.640 reporting on
00:46:41.220 this.
00:46:42.080 I gotta say,
00:46:43.520 Trump is
00:46:44.640 really good
00:46:45.440 at releasing
00:46:46.420 American prisoners.
00:46:48.300 Nobody's
00:46:48.900 ever been
00:46:49.320 better at
00:46:49.740 that.
00:46:50.760 Would you
00:46:51.140 agree?
00:46:52.440 Can you
00:46:53.200 even think
00:46:53.820 of any
00:46:54.200 president who
00:46:55.820 was this
00:46:56.440 good at
00:46:57.400 getting American
00:46:58.120 prisoners released
00:46:59.160 overseas?
00:47:00.280 I feel like
00:47:01.100 he's alone
00:47:03.120 in this
00:47:03.700 capability.
00:47:07.540 But I
00:47:08.340 will give a
00:47:08.780 shout-out to
00:47:09.840 El Salvador's
00:47:11.440 Bukele,
00:47:12.780 because he
00:47:13.960 plays everything
00:47:15.120 so smart
00:47:16.080 that it's
00:47:18.940 kind of
00:47:19.520 hard to
00:47:20.340 even
00:47:20.520 understand
00:47:21.100 why he's
00:47:21.640 so good
00:47:22.040 at what
00:47:22.280 he does.
00:47:23.820 But,
00:47:24.520 you know,
00:47:25.520 with all
00:47:25.820 these countries
00:47:26.460 who want to
00:47:26.980 push back
00:47:27.720 on the
00:47:28.680 U.S.,
00:47:29.680 and they
00:47:30.160 don't want
00:47:30.480 to be
00:47:30.740 pushed
00:47:31.020 around,
00:47:31.700 and they
00:47:31.940 don't want
00:47:32.840 Trump to
00:47:33.260 be running
00:47:33.700 roughshod over
00:47:34.520 them,
00:47:35.660 well,
00:47:35.900 Bukele goes
00:47:36.620 the other
00:47:36.960 direction,
00:47:38.380 and he
00:47:38.780 basically,
00:47:39.920 you know,
00:47:40.220 this is my
00:47:40.800 interpretation,
00:47:42.220 says,
00:47:42.860 wouldn't it
00:47:43.300 make more
00:47:43.700 sense if I
00:47:44.540 have this
00:47:44.860 really productive
00:47:45.640 relationship
00:47:46.320 with Trump
00:47:47.480 and with
00:47:48.460 the U.S.,
00:47:49.540 and wouldn't
00:47:50.600 El Salvador
00:47:51.220 really benefit
00:47:52.100 from really
00:47:53.580 being a tight
00:47:54.420 ally with
00:47:55.420 the U.S.?
00:47:56.420 And the
00:47:56.720 answer is
00:47:57.220 yes,
00:47:58.480 yes.
00:47:59.920 I feel
00:48:00.840 like it's
00:48:02.720 such a
00:48:03.420 smart and
00:48:04.280 obvious play
00:48:05.220 to be our
00:48:06.480 best friend
00:48:07.280 that when you
00:48:08.400 see the other
00:48:09.060 countries are
00:48:09.720 playing it the
00:48:10.340 opposite way,
00:48:12.100 we cannot be
00:48:13.280 humiliated by the
00:48:14.220 United States.
00:48:14.880 we will try
00:48:16.180 to stop
00:48:16.660 them at
00:48:17.160 every turn.
00:48:19.360 How is that
00:48:19.880 working out?
00:48:21.480 I mean,
00:48:21.840 really,
00:48:22.140 how is that
00:48:22.600 working out?
00:48:24.000 Whereas
00:48:24.320 Bukele just
00:48:25.140 says,
00:48:25.800 all right,
00:48:26.160 I'm going
00:48:26.440 to lock
00:48:26.720 up all
00:48:27.060 my criminals,
00:48:29.140 I'm going
00:48:29.780 to embrace
00:48:30.360 Bitcoin,
00:48:31.940 which turned
00:48:32.680 out to be
00:48:33.240 looking pretty
00:48:34.100 smart at the
00:48:34.680 moment,
00:48:35.260 and I'm
00:48:36.860 going to
00:48:37.000 work very
00:48:37.580 productively
00:48:38.260 with the
00:48:38.680 United States
00:48:39.260 and be their
00:48:39.740 best friend.
00:48:40.720 And if they
00:48:41.360 ever need a
00:48:41.940 favor,
00:48:42.840 oh,
00:48:43.060 I'll totally
00:48:43.420 do it.
00:48:44.400 I'll do
00:48:44.760 them a
00:48:45.080 favor.
00:48:46.280 How smart
00:48:47.140 is that?
00:48:48.560 I mean,
00:48:50.340 I don't know
00:48:51.440 who,
00:48:51.880 I don't know
00:48:52.360 if he's
00:48:52.660 being advised
00:48:53.420 or he's
00:48:54.420 just that
00:48:54.900 smart,
00:48:55.840 but I
00:48:56.980 love,
00:48:57.560 I love
00:48:58.140 watching an
00:48:58.840 ally of the
00:48:59.480 United States
00:49:00.140 just kill
00:49:00.940 it.
00:49:01.720 He's just
00:49:02.180 killing it.
00:49:05.060 Laura
00:49:05.580 Loomer has
00:49:06.280 a scoop.
00:49:07.820 She's
00:49:08.260 talking to
00:49:09.200 a whistleblower
00:49:09.880 who says,
00:49:11.660 and I'm
00:49:12.520 going to
00:49:12.760 wait for
00:49:13.200 a fact
00:49:13.660 check on
00:49:14.200 this,
00:49:15.080 because I
00:49:15.780 do think
00:49:16.440 that Laura
00:49:16.800 Loomer has
00:49:17.240 good sources
00:49:17.840 and she's
00:49:18.680 making sure
00:49:20.180 that she's
00:49:20.780 crossed all
00:49:22.680 the T's
00:49:23.280 and dotted
00:49:23.800 all the
00:49:24.200 I's.
00:49:25.520 Most
00:49:25.880 boring thing
00:49:26.560 anybody ever
00:49:27.100 said.
00:49:28.620 But the
00:49:29.300 claim is
00:49:30.660 that under
00:49:31.080 Barack Obama,
00:49:33.060 the
00:49:33.400 systems,
00:49:35.360 the computer
00:49:36.220 systems that
00:49:37.100 the government
00:49:37.820 use,
00:49:39.180 was
00:49:39.780 delegated
00:49:40.620 to
00:49:41.880 Chinese
00:49:42.520 foreign
00:49:42.920 nationals
00:49:43.740 located in
00:49:45.040 China as
00:49:46.660 the tax
00:49:47.200 support,
00:49:48.600 which means
00:49:49.060 that the
00:49:49.540 Chinese,
00:49:52.860 I'm having
00:49:54.160 trouble believing
00:49:55.580 this is real
00:49:56.340 because the
00:49:57.800 implications of
00:49:58.700 it are so
00:49:59.340 fucking big
00:50:00.020 that although
00:50:02.040 I think Laura
00:50:02.780 Loomer has
00:50:03.400 earned some
00:50:04.640 credibility with
00:50:05.960 her scoops,
00:50:06.680 they seem
00:50:07.900 to work
00:50:08.260 out.
00:50:09.720 How could
00:50:10.520 this possibly
00:50:11.220 be true?
00:50:11.800 Let me finish
00:50:12.360 what it is.
00:50:13.380 So the
00:50:13.820 claim is
00:50:15.080 that under
00:50:15.500 Obama,
00:50:17.040 a back
00:50:18.180 door was
00:50:19.120 given to
00:50:19.940 Chinese tech
00:50:21.640 people in
00:50:23.000 China,
00:50:23.540 who of
00:50:24.380 course would
00:50:24.960 be beholden
00:50:25.720 to the
00:50:26.240 Chinese
00:50:26.640 government
00:50:27.060 for anything
00:50:28.440 they can
00:50:29.000 steal.
00:50:30.720 So in
00:50:31.540 theory,
00:50:32.540 the Chinese
00:50:33.420 government
00:50:33.980 has had
00:50:35.320 full access
00:50:36.040 to all
00:50:36.720 of our
00:50:37.000 government
00:50:37.360 systems,
00:50:38.820 full access
00:50:40.940 to all
00:50:41.940 of our
00:50:42.240 government
00:50:42.640 systems for
00:50:43.940 like 10
00:50:44.460 fucking
00:50:44.780 years.
00:50:47.040 Now is
00:50:47.740 that possible?
00:50:49.440 How many
00:50:50.020 of you think
00:50:50.480 that's real?
00:50:52.760 I don't know.
00:50:53.440 I'm sure
00:50:54.180 there will be
00:50:54.680 some nuances
00:50:55.740 to this,
00:50:56.540 like,
00:50:56.840 oh,
00:50:57.180 we had
00:50:57.600 this wall
00:50:59.560 up so they
00:51:00.240 couldn't do
00:51:00.720 any mischief
00:51:01.480 or something.
00:51:03.240 But at
00:51:03.840 the moment,
00:51:05.300 the Laura
00:51:05.960 Loomer's
00:51:06.640 scoop is
00:51:07.880 that the
00:51:08.280 Chinese
00:51:08.680 government
00:51:09.140 had full
00:51:09.700 access to
00:51:10.340 all of
00:51:10.620 our
00:51:10.780 government
00:51:11.240 technology.
00:51:14.320 And that
00:51:15.140 Obama
00:51:16.020 must have
00:51:16.960 known it
00:51:17.460 because his
00:51:19.480 administration
00:51:20.320 approved it.
00:51:21.400 So this
00:51:22.040 one doesn't
00:51:22.500 make sense
00:51:23.140 to me.
00:51:26.800 There's
00:51:27.400 probably
00:51:27.680 something else
00:51:28.520 we don't
00:51:28.940 know about
00:51:29.420 it, but
00:51:29.900 that's
00:51:31.140 happening.

00:51:45.000 Scotiabank,
00:51:45.740 you're richer
00:51:46.200 than you
00:51:46.540 think.
00:51:48.160 All right,
00:51:49.140 I'm going to
00:51:49.800 ruin your
00:51:50.280 fun a little
00:51:50.880 bit.
00:51:51.380 You all
00:51:51.840 know the
00:51:52.120 big story
00:51:52.680 of the
00:51:52.940 day that
00:51:53.460 Tulsi
00:51:53.860 Gabbard
00:51:54.380 came out
00:51:56.920 with some
00:51:58.400 new information
00:51:59.200 they found
00:52:00.020 which,
00:52:01.360 let's say,
00:52:02.460 so the
00:52:03.000 claim is,
00:52:03.680 she did a
00:52:04.100 long thread
00:52:05.160 on X,
00:52:06.380 that for
00:52:06.960 months before
00:52:08.260 the 2016
00:52:09.460 election,
00:52:10.780 the
00:52:11.080 intelligence
00:52:11.600 community
00:52:12.380 had a
00:52:13.780 consensus
00:52:14.340 view that
00:52:15.800 Russia lacked
00:52:16.620 the intent
00:52:17.220 and capability
00:52:18.080 to hack
00:52:18.660 U.S.
00:52:19.140 elections.
00:52:21.260 Now,
00:52:22.340 the claim,
00:52:24.920 if I can
00:52:25.380 summarize it,
00:52:26.620 is that they
00:52:27.520 have new
00:52:27.960 documentation to
00:52:29.080 show that
00:52:30.440 the Obama
00:52:31.360 administration,
00:52:32.540 including Obama
00:52:33.460 and including
00:52:34.640 Brennan and
00:52:35.240 Clapper,
00:52:36.060 were fully
00:52:36.820 aware that
00:52:38.120 Russia did
00:52:39.000 not hack
00:52:40.100 the election.
00:52:42.800 Yet,
00:52:43.520 they claimed
00:52:44.260 that Russia
00:52:45.720 did interfere
00:52:46.440 with the
00:52:46.800 election.
00:52:47.880 So,
00:52:48.120 the claim
00:52:48.600 is that
00:52:49.460 it's a big
00:52:50.080 conspiracy
00:52:50.860 theory.
00:52:52.520 No,
00:52:53.160 that's the
00:52:53.540 wrong word.
00:52:53.980 It's a
00:52:54.460 conspiracy,
00:52:55.980 like RICO,
00:52:57.340 that people
00:52:57.860 were all in
00:52:58.540 on this
00:52:59.080 hoax,
00:53:00.480 and the
00:53:00.860 hoax was
00:53:01.600 that Russia
00:53:02.760 was helping
00:53:03.360 Trump get
00:53:04.060 elected,
00:53:04.780 but they
00:53:05.580 knew that
00:53:06.180 it wasn't
00:53:06.680 true.
00:53:09.380 There's
00:53:09.940 something wrong
00:53:10.600 with this
00:53:11.000 story,
00:53:11.860 and you're
00:53:12.560 not going
00:53:12.900 to like it
00:53:13.560 when I tell
00:53:14.960 you.
00:53:15.700 I believe
00:53:16.640 it's conflating
00:53:17.740 things.
00:53:19.520 And what it
00:53:20.040 looks like
00:53:20.440 is conflating
00:53:21.360 is the
00:53:22.580 question of
00:53:23.280 whether
00:53:23.680 Russia
00:53:25.380 could
00:53:26.160 impact
00:53:27.240 with
00:53:28.620 cyber
00:53:28.940 attacks
00:53:29.420 the
00:53:30.100 election
00:53:30.620 infrastructure.
00:53:32.860 So,
00:53:33.180 the thing
00:53:34.040 that the
00:53:34.400 intelligence
00:53:34.800 community
00:53:35.580 knew
00:53:36.020 is that
00:53:37.120 Russia,
00:53:38.520 there was
00:53:39.020 no evidence
00:53:39.680 that Russia
00:53:40.480 could get
00:53:41.080 into our
00:53:41.540 election
00:53:42.000 infrastructure.
00:53:44.080 In other
00:53:44.480 words,
00:53:44.800 they did not
00:53:45.920 believe that
00:53:46.420 Russia was
00:53:47.040 getting into
00:53:48.040 voting machines
00:53:49.000 or databases
00:53:49.920 and changing
00:53:51.140 the result.
00:53:53.340 And so,
00:53:54.360 because we
00:53:55.360 knew that
00:53:55.820 they weren't
00:53:56.300 getting into
00:53:56.940 the infrastructure
00:53:57.920 of the
00:53:58.480 elections,
00:53:59.820 it means
00:54:01.440 that Obama
00:54:02.400 and his
00:54:02.840 team were
00:54:03.580 lying weasels
00:54:04.820 when they
00:54:05.960 said,
00:54:06.480 oh,
00:54:06.700 yeah,
00:54:07.060 Russia may
00:54:08.700 have been
00:54:09.020 behind trying
00:54:09.620 to help
00:54:09.960 Trump.
00:54:11.700 But here's
00:54:12.640 where I'm
00:54:13.020 going to
00:54:13.380 disagree with
00:54:14.420 how it's
00:54:15.000 been treated
00:54:15.540 so far,
00:54:16.120 this story.
00:54:17.180 I feel
00:54:18.000 like it
00:54:18.480 conflates
00:54:19.200 the thing
00:54:20.740 that I'm
00:54:21.240 sure did
00:54:21.700 not happen
00:54:22.380 because there's
00:54:23.200 no evidence,
00:54:24.300 which is
00:54:25.060 that Russia
00:54:26.340 indeed did
00:54:27.020 not directly
00:54:27.740 hack the
00:54:28.420 voting machines
00:54:29.140 or the
00:54:29.440 databases.
00:54:30.800 But I
00:54:31.800 don't remember
00:54:32.320 that even
00:54:32.800 being a
00:54:33.280 claim.
00:54:34.440 Do you?
00:54:36.940 I remember
00:54:37.880 hearing...
00:54:38.940 Sorry,
00:54:42.160 I've got
00:54:42.380 allergies.
00:54:43.760 I remember
00:54:44.440 hearing that
00:54:45.520 Russia may
00:54:47.200 have hacked
00:54:47.780 Hillary's
00:54:48.720 email and
00:54:50.800 Podesta's
00:54:51.620 email and
00:54:52.800 maybe something
00:54:53.360 else, but
00:54:54.320 would you
00:54:54.720 call those
00:54:55.480 election
00:54:56.640 infrastructure?
00:54:57.940 They're not,
00:54:58.900 right?
00:54:59.920 I remember
00:55:00.880 hearing that
00:55:01.560 Russia ran
00:55:02.640 a bunch of
00:55:03.500 memes, some
00:55:04.820 advertisement.
00:55:06.320 Some of it
00:55:06.860 was anti-Trump,
00:55:07.880 some of it
00:55:08.260 was anti-Hillary.
00:55:11.220 Yeah, the
00:55:12.180 meme farm.
00:55:13.820 So the
00:55:14.240 meme farm
00:55:14.980 had nothing
00:55:15.660 to do with
00:55:16.420 hacking anything,
00:55:18.120 it was just
00:55:18.500 memes.
00:55:20.060 And then
00:55:20.380 there was
00:55:20.680 a claim
00:55:21.440 that, so
00:55:25.260 there was a
00:55:25.700 meme farm,
00:55:26.420 there was a
00:55:26.720 hacking of
00:55:27.200 the emails,
00:55:29.080 and then
00:55:29.720 of course
00:55:30.340 you always
00:55:30.780 throw in
00:55:31.280 the Manafort
00:55:33.180 was scamming
00:55:35.300 some Russian
00:55:36.380 billionaire,
00:55:37.620 and he was
00:55:38.300 scamming him
00:55:38.900 saying he
00:55:39.280 would give
00:55:39.600 him some
00:55:40.000 secret stuff,
00:55:41.520 and the only
00:55:42.000 thing he ever
00:55:42.480 gave him
00:55:42.900 was some
00:55:43.500 dated
00:55:44.480 internal
00:55:45.280 polling.
00:55:48.720 So, but
00:55:49.600 Manafort went
00:55:50.360 to jail for
00:55:50.900 that, and
00:55:51.760 there was no
00:55:52.140 evidence that
00:55:52.920 Trump knew
00:55:53.760 anything about
00:55:54.340 it.
00:55:56.140 So, when
00:55:57.760 Tulsi Gabbard
00:55:58.680 says that
00:56:00.760 we have
00:56:01.780 documents that
00:56:02.680 show that the
00:56:03.540 intelligence
00:56:04.080 community knew
00:56:05.140 that the
00:56:06.100 Russians did
00:56:06.740 not hack
00:56:07.560 the election
00:56:09.300 infrastructure,
00:56:11.320 that that
00:56:12.720 fact
00:56:13.260 disproves
00:56:15.000 their other
00:56:15.520 claims that
00:56:16.280 Russia tried
00:56:16.940 to influence
00:56:18.680 the election.
00:56:20.420 Those are
00:56:21.320 just different
00:56:22.020 topics,
00:56:23.300 right?
00:56:24.980 Because when
00:56:25.760 I see the
00:56:26.220 way the news
00:56:26.780 is treating
00:56:27.340 them, the
00:56:28.460 news is trying
00:56:29.200 to treat it
00:56:29.780 like it's all
00:56:30.340 one big ball
00:56:31.080 of the same
00:56:31.600 thing, and
00:56:32.900 that if you
00:56:33.400 know for
00:56:33.900 sure that
00:56:35.160 Russia, or
00:56:36.180 there's no
00:56:36.560 evidence that
00:56:37.660 Russia tried
00:56:38.340 to directly
00:56:39.060 change the
00:56:39.720 vote, that
00:56:42.000 that is a
00:56:42.620 debunk to
00:56:44.180 the claim
00:56:44.740 that they
00:56:45.220 hacked some
00:56:45.800 email and
00:56:46.360 it might have
00:56:46.740 affected the
00:56:47.360 election,
00:56:48.180 probably didn't,
00:56:49.280 or that they
00:56:50.200 had some
00:56:50.660 memes on
00:56:52.340 social media
00:56:53.340 that tried to
00:56:54.200 affect the
00:56:54.640 election, but
00:56:55.660 probably didn't
00:56:56.380 because they
00:56:56.840 were so minor.
00:56:58.860 Am I wrong?
00:57:00.480 I want to
00:57:01.200 see your
00:57:01.520 opinion.
00:57:02.480 When you
00:57:02.840 hear this
00:57:03.280 story, doesn't
00:57:04.800 it feel like
00:57:05.380 they tried to
00:57:06.540 connect dots
00:57:07.600 that don't
00:57:08.120 connect?
00:57:09.700 I feel like
00:57:10.800 there's nothing
00:57:11.360 in this story
00:57:12.200 because I
00:57:13.980 don't remember
00:57:14.560 any time I
00:57:15.440 ever believed
00:57:16.280 it wasn't
00:57:18.440 even public.
00:57:20.900 Did the
00:57:21.480 Democrats
00:57:22.000 literally claim
00:57:23.220 that Russia
00:57:24.520 hacked into
00:57:25.280 our election
00:57:27.320 infrastructure?
00:57:29.420 When was that
00:57:30.400 ever in the
00:57:30.880 news?
00:57:31.160 Gabo
00:57:36.900 mate is
00:57:37.400 saying,
00:57:37.840 Scott,
00:57:38.680 they got
00:57:39.300 rid of the
00:57:39.780 report of
00:57:41.600 no finding
00:57:42.260 of Russia
00:57:42.740 collusion
00:57:43.320 and then
00:57:44.600 met to
00:57:45.040 plan the
00:57:45.520 coup to
00:57:46.160 unseat
00:57:46.600 Trump.
00:57:47.320 Oh,
00:57:47.540 it definitely
00:57:48.300 was a
00:57:48.860 coup,
00:57:49.940 so I'm
00:57:50.880 not questioning
00:57:51.540 whether or
00:57:52.060 not there
00:57:54.280 was a
00:57:54.560 Democrat
00:57:54.880 coup and
00:57:56.300 a hoax.
00:57:57.420 That is
00:57:58.120 for sure.
00:57:58.620 What I'm
00:57:59.860 questioning is
00:58:00.940 if this new
00:58:01.660 information adds
00:58:02.640 anything to
00:58:03.260 anything.
00:58:04.140 I don't
00:58:04.440 think it
00:58:04.740 does because
00:58:06.640 all it's
00:58:07.260 saying is
00:58:07.800 that the
00:58:09.540 IC community
00:58:10.560 said no
00:58:12.360 election
00:58:13.300 infrastructure
00:58:14.040 was successfully
00:58:16.200 hacked by
00:58:17.760 Russia.
00:58:19.020 Was that
00:58:19.840 ever really
00:58:20.480 a claim?
00:58:21.540 I don't
00:58:22.260 remember that
00:58:22.800 even being
00:58:23.260 a claim.
00:58:25.120 Do you
00:58:25.820 know why
00:58:26.200 that would
00:58:26.700 not have
00:58:27.140 been a
00:58:27.500 claim?
00:58:28.620 Have you
00:58:31.920 connected the
00:58:32.700 dots yet?
00:58:33.940 We were
00:58:34.640 told that
00:58:35.760 the one
00:58:36.100 thing we
00:58:36.500 know for
00:58:36.880 sure is
00:58:38.040 that there
00:58:38.380 was no
00:58:38.720 way to
00:58:39.020 hack our
00:58:39.480 elections
00:58:39.940 directly,
00:58:41.240 as in
00:58:41.640 there was
00:58:41.920 no way
00:58:42.380 for any
00:58:43.020 hacker,
00:58:44.040 be they
00:58:44.460 Russian or
00:58:45.080 be they
00:58:45.420 anyone else,
00:58:46.480 there was
00:58:46.740 no way for
00:58:47.240 them to
00:58:47.600 penetrate our
00:58:48.380 systems because
00:58:49.160 they were
00:58:49.360 too secure.
00:58:52.000 So if
00:58:53.520 the Democrats
00:58:54.120 had been
00:58:55.000 claiming that
00:58:56.440 Russia had
00:58:57.040 the ability
00:58:57.660 to hack
00:58:58.940 our election
00:59:00.020 system
00:59:00.540 infrastructure,
00:59:01.740 they would
00:59:02.740 have had
00:59:03.080 to admit
00:59:03.620 that it
00:59:04.760 was possible
00:59:05.480 to hack
00:59:06.260 our election
00:59:07.700 system
00:59:08.280 infrastructure.
00:59:10.400 And the
00:59:11.160 entire time
00:59:11.800 I remember
00:59:12.440 the Democrats
00:59:13.740 were saying
00:59:14.480 and the
00:59:15.160 fake news
00:59:15.760 that support
00:59:16.320 them were
00:59:17.040 all saying
00:59:17.540 there is no
00:59:18.620 way that
00:59:20.020 anybody can
00:59:20.680 hack the
00:59:21.140 system and
00:59:22.000 not get
00:59:22.400 caught.
00:59:22.760 So if
00:59:24.920 they had
00:59:25.280 claimed that
00:59:26.040 Russia had
00:59:26.760 indeed
00:59:27.160 hacked it
00:59:27.740 and not
00:59:28.460 been caught,
00:59:30.080 that would
00:59:32.080 make our
00:59:32.460 entire election
00:59:33.140 system look
00:59:33.980 unsecure.
00:59:35.360 So I
00:59:36.520 don't even
00:59:37.300 think there's
00:59:37.780 anything new
00:59:38.560 that's important
00:59:40.300 about this
00:59:41.700 story, but
00:59:42.320 we'll see.
00:59:44.800 We'll see
00:59:45.880 how it
00:59:46.440 everything
00:59:47.840 gets
00:59:48.260 conflated.
00:59:48.900 But yes,
00:59:50.920 I do believe
00:59:51.560 that Brennan
00:59:52.280 and Clapper
00:59:52.780 and Obama
00:59:53.580 probably
00:59:54.660 belong in
00:59:55.340 jail.
00:59:56.760 My current
00:59:58.000 thing is
00:59:59.720 that what
01:00:00.260 they did
01:00:00.740 was a
01:00:01.260 jailable
01:00:01.660 offense and
01:00:02.420 they did
01:00:03.000 literally try
01:00:04.280 to overthrow
01:00:04.960 the government
01:00:05.980 of the United
01:00:06.420 States twice.
01:00:08.660 Once with
01:00:11.060 the Russia
01:00:11.580 collusion
01:00:12.100 hoax and
01:00:13.160 then a
01:00:13.500 second time
01:00:14.180 with the
01:00:14.660 January 6
01:00:15.480 insurrection
01:00:16.140 hoax,
01:00:17.100 which was
01:00:18.260 probably
01:00:18.740 designed to
01:00:20.220 make sure
01:00:20.600 that Republicans
01:00:21.300 never rose
01:00:22.240 again,
01:00:23.300 which would
01:00:24.120 be another
01:00:24.680 form of
01:00:25.280 election
01:00:25.660 interference.
01:00:27.200 So to
01:00:27.580 me, there
01:00:28.060 are two
01:00:29.040 very obvious
01:00:30.860 well-documented
01:00:31.780 attempts to
01:00:33.120 overthrow the
01:00:34.200 normal workings
01:00:35.320 of our
01:00:35.620 elections, and
01:00:36.900 we know
01:00:37.200 exactly who
01:00:37.920 is behind
01:00:38.380 all of
01:00:38.760 them, you
01:00:39.240 know, throw
01:00:39.660 in Nancy
01:00:40.300 Pelosi to
01:00:41.000 the January
01:00:41.960 6 stuff.
01:00:43.700 So we've
01:00:47.360 known forever
01:00:48.120 that the
01:00:49.100 Steele dossier
01:00:49.940 was debunked
01:00:50.880 from the
01:00:51.240 start.
01:00:52.220 That's not
01:00:52.920 new.
01:00:54.520 So what I'm
01:00:55.860 saying is that
01:00:56.480 there's nothing
01:00:56.880 new.
01:00:58.120 We knew that
01:00:59.160 they knew
01:00:59.740 that it was
01:01:01.040 debunked and
01:01:02.020 that they
01:01:02.300 went with it
01:01:02.900 anyway, which
01:01:04.040 is why I say
01:01:04.780 they should all
01:01:05.280 go to jail.
01:01:06.720 They should
01:01:07.140 all go to
01:01:07.800 jail.
01:01:09.900 But we knew
01:01:11.140 that.
01:01:11.840 There's nothing
01:01:12.300 new.
01:01:12.560 When I found
01:01:14.260 out my friend
01:01:14.920 got a great
01:01:15.580 deal on a
01:01:16.220 wool coat
01:01:16.620 from Winners,
01:01:17.480 I started
01:01:18.220 wondering, is
01:01:19.400 every fabulous
01:01:20.460 item I see
01:01:21.160 from Winners?
01:01:22.260 Like that
01:01:22.760 woman over
01:01:23.240 there with
01:01:23.720 the designer
01:01:24.140 jeans.
01:01:24.980 Are those
01:01:25.560 from Winners?
01:01:26.480 Ooh, or those
01:01:27.460 beautiful gold
01:01:28.080 earrings?
01:01:28.940 Did she pay
01:01:29.380 full price?
01:01:30.300 Or that leather
01:01:30.760 tote?
01:01:31.320 Or that cashmere
01:01:31.920 sweater?
01:01:32.540 Or those knee-high
01:01:33.160 boots?
01:01:34.000 That dress?
01:01:34.780 That jacket?
01:01:35.460 Those shoes?
01:01:36.480 Is anyone paying
01:01:37.660 full price for
01:01:38.440 anything?
01:01:39.440 Stop wondering.
01:01:40.700 Start winning.
01:01:41.620 Winners.
01:01:42.020 Find fabulous
01:01:42.880 for less.
01:01:44.340 All right.
01:01:46.920 Have you
01:01:47.720 noticed, some
01:01:49.080 of you probably
01:01:49.760 have found
01:01:50.420 this out, if
01:01:51.620 you're not
01:01:52.020 following Mike
01:01:52.800 Benz on X,
01:01:55.280 do you really
01:01:56.540 understand anything
01:01:57.560 that's going on
01:01:58.360 in this world?
01:02:00.080 I feel like if
01:02:02.000 Mike Benz
01:02:03.180 didn't exist, I
01:02:05.580 would be so
01:02:06.320 confused about
01:02:07.900 what the world
01:02:08.600 really is and
01:02:09.380 how it works.
01:02:10.560 But he has
01:02:11.260 this almost
01:02:12.800 unnatural ability
01:02:14.080 to understand
01:02:15.580 insanely complicated
01:02:17.120 government things,
01:02:18.780 not only in
01:02:19.980 terms of all
01:02:20.920 the moving parts,
01:02:22.400 which is so
01:02:24.480 impressive, I
01:02:25.200 can't even
01:02:25.620 express it, but
01:02:28.080 he knows the
01:02:28.580 history as well.
01:02:30.060 So he knows all
01:02:31.080 the moving parts
01:02:31.900 today, you know,
01:02:32.820 the names of
01:02:33.380 entities and
01:02:34.120 people connected
01:02:34.880 to, things that
01:02:35.860 you and I would
01:02:36.360 never know, but
01:02:37.600 also how that
01:02:38.480 connects to
01:02:39.800 everything in
01:02:40.500 the past.
01:02:41.900 So when
01:02:42.500 there's one of
01:02:43.000 these stories,
01:02:44.640 I have to
01:02:46.660 wait to hear
01:02:47.540 what he says
01:02:48.280 to get it in
01:02:50.120 the proper
01:02:50.460 context.
01:02:51.300 So we need
01:02:54.840 more of that.
01:02:55.440 So what he's
01:02:55.820 saying now is
01:02:56.700 that he's
01:02:57.740 talking about
01:02:58.200 the DOJ
01:02:59.700 motion.
01:03:00.200 So the
01:03:02.380 Department of
01:03:02.840 Justice has
01:03:03.580 requested, because
01:03:05.200 a lot of
01:03:05.800 MAGA supporters
01:03:06.900 have asked for
01:03:07.460 this, to
01:03:08.420 unseal the
01:03:09.700 Epstein grand
01:03:11.040 jury
01:03:11.420 transcripts.
01:03:14.120 Now, I'm
01:03:14.840 no legal
01:03:15.600 expert, but
01:03:16.800 it seems to
01:03:17.340 me that that
01:03:17.900 will be
01:03:18.240 declined.
01:03:20.480 I don't
01:03:21.040 believe that
01:03:21.800 the court
01:03:23.300 will agree
01:03:24.160 to release
01:03:26.100 any grand
01:03:27.380 jury
01:03:27.640 transcripts.
01:03:28.500 And if
01:03:29.420 they did, it
01:03:29.940 would be
01:03:30.160 highly redacted
01:03:31.220 to the point
01:03:31.840 of being
01:03:32.100 useless.
01:03:32.760 So I don't
01:03:33.240 think it's
01:03:33.660 going to
01:03:33.940 work.
01:03:35.920 But then
01:03:37.300 Mike Benz
01:03:37.920 weighs in,
01:03:38.780 and he says,
01:03:39.700 kudos to the
01:03:40.580 Pam Bondi
01:03:41.660 DOJ for
01:03:42.480 launching this
01:03:43.140 motion so
01:03:44.240 quickly.
01:03:45.400 Not to
01:03:46.200 rain on it,
01:03:47.040 but if you
01:03:47.460 simply walk
01:03:48.140 down the
01:03:48.600 DOJ hallway
01:03:49.520 to OPR,
01:03:51.220 so that's a
01:03:51.840 department there,
01:03:52.940 and publish
01:03:53.680 the full
01:03:54.160 Acosta
01:03:54.760 transcript,
01:03:55.680 Acosta was
01:03:56.320 the prosecutor
01:03:57.840 in the
01:03:58.500 first
01:03:59.400 Epstein
01:03:59.960 situation,
01:04:01.300 where OPR
01:04:02.280 asked about
01:04:03.040 Epstein's
01:04:03.640 intelligence
01:04:04.120 ties,
01:04:05.280 you'd get
01:04:05.740 us easy
01:04:06.260 answers
01:04:06.760 immediately.
01:04:09.920 What?
01:04:12.600 This almost
01:04:13.640 looks a little
01:04:14.320 too easy
01:04:15.060 to be true.
01:04:16.700 Is it
01:04:17.540 true that
01:04:18.140 Pam Bondi
01:04:18.740 can literally
01:04:19.260 walk down
01:04:19.800 the hallway
01:04:20.240 and open
01:04:21.460 the door
01:04:21.860 to the
01:04:22.240 OPR?
01:04:23.000 I forget
01:04:23.580 what OPR
01:04:24.680 stands for.
01:04:25.320 and ask
01:04:28.140 for the
01:04:28.540 document
01:04:29.120 that would
01:04:29.980 probably
01:04:30.400 answer all
01:04:31.220 of our
01:04:31.480 questions
01:04:31.980 about
01:04:32.360 Epstein
01:04:32.840 and his
01:04:33.360 intelligence
01:04:33.840 connections.
01:04:35.300 Is that
01:04:35.980 possible?
01:04:37.160 And why
01:04:37.940 is Mike
01:04:38.400 Benz the
01:04:38.900 only person
01:04:39.500 who knows
01:04:40.080 that down
01:04:42.060 the hallway
01:04:42.560 there's a
01:04:43.100 door marked
01:04:44.020 OPR and
01:04:44.820 if you walk
01:04:45.360 through it,
01:04:45.820 you can have
01:04:46.200 all your
01:04:46.480 answers?
01:04:48.120 Is that
01:04:48.800 true?
01:04:50.060 I mean,
01:04:50.660 this would
01:04:50.960 be so
01:04:51.420 impressive.
01:04:51.900 I mean,
01:04:53.860 I'm impressed
01:04:54.380 already with
01:04:55.580 all the stuff
01:04:56.100 that Mike
01:04:56.520 Benz knows
01:04:57.080 about everything,
01:04:58.200 but if he
01:04:59.440 actually knows
01:05:00.400 that there's
01:05:01.480 a doorway you
01:05:02.320 can walk
01:05:02.800 through to
01:05:03.200 get the
01:05:03.500 answer to
01:05:03.940 that question
01:05:04.640 and he
01:05:05.560 knows where
01:05:06.040 it is and
01:05:07.060 he knows
01:05:07.400 who has the
01:05:08.000 authority to
01:05:08.580 walk through
01:05:08.940 that door,
01:05:10.400 okay,
01:05:10.840 that's just
01:05:12.280 standing
01:05:12.940 ovation
01:05:13.460 time.
01:05:14.520 So we'll
01:05:14.980 see if that
01:05:15.540 happens,
01:05:16.280 but I
01:05:17.820 would feel
01:05:18.420 like if
01:05:19.060 Mike Benz
01:05:19.740 ever stopped
01:05:20.440 doing what
01:05:21.100 he's doing,
01:05:21.900 I would
01:05:22.600 feel unprotected.
01:05:25.160 I would
01:05:25.680 feel like
01:05:26.220 he's like
01:05:27.620 this watcher
01:05:28.520 who just
01:05:30.900 understands
01:05:31.740 everything we're
01:05:32.460 seeing so
01:05:33.460 he can warn
01:05:34.160 you about
01:05:34.720 where the
01:05:35.240 corrupt parts
01:05:36.620 are and how
01:05:37.080 it works.
01:05:38.160 Now on top
01:05:38.640 of that,
01:05:40.380 he also has
01:05:41.280 a take on
01:05:42.100 Epstein that
01:05:43.800 seems to
01:05:45.620 be just a
01:05:46.260 Mike Benz
01:05:46.800 take,
01:05:47.780 but I'm
01:05:50.000 warming to
01:05:50.620 it.
01:05:50.840 and the
01:05:51.960 idea is
01:05:52.460 that Epstein
01:05:52.900 wasn't so
01:05:53.600 much about
01:05:54.100 being a
01:05:54.700 sexual
01:05:55.160 blackmailer,
01:05:56.500 although he
01:05:56.960 might have
01:05:57.420 done a
01:05:58.200 little bit
01:05:58.540 of it,
01:05:59.140 but he
01:05:59.660 might be
01:06:00.080 better
01:06:00.400 understood
01:06:00.900 as a
01:06:01.840 financial
01:06:03.660 manipulator
01:06:04.500 and money
01:06:05.120 launderer
01:06:05.840 who may
01:06:07.380 have made
01:06:08.060 his services
01:06:08.680 available to
01:06:09.380 a variety
01:06:09.920 of entities,
01:06:11.260 some of
01:06:11.840 which might
01:06:12.780 have been
01:06:13.000 intelligence
01:06:13.560 related,
01:06:14.540 and some
01:06:15.280 of which
01:06:15.720 may not
01:06:16.600 necessarily
01:06:17.380 have been
01:06:18.400 U.S.
01:06:18.940 intelligence
01:06:19.380 related,
01:06:20.220 so we
01:06:20.540 don't know
01:06:20.860 that part.
01:06:22.280 But I'm
01:06:23.980 kind of
01:06:24.320 warming to
01:06:24.860 that,
01:06:25.640 because that
01:06:26.220 would explain
01:06:27.120 why the
01:06:27.940 Epstein
01:06:28.260 files are
01:06:30.960 not having
01:06:31.500 the secrets
01:06:32.380 we expected,
01:06:33.720 because he's
01:06:34.900 probably good
01:06:35.640 at hiding
01:06:36.160 his financial
01:06:37.860 stuff,
01:06:38.500 that was his
01:06:39.000 expertise,
01:06:40.380 to hide the
01:06:41.300 financial trails
01:06:42.300 of who
01:06:42.740 did what
01:06:43.140 where.
01:06:44.800 And the
01:06:45.400 theory would
01:06:45.940 be that
01:06:46.980 he would
01:06:47.480 just know
01:06:47.960 everybody who
01:06:48.520 had money,
01:06:49.720 and he
01:06:50.100 would know
01:06:50.540 everybody who
01:06:51.140 needed money
01:06:51.880 for things
01:06:53.060 that maybe
01:06:53.440 the intelligence
01:06:54.080 community
01:06:54.780 wanted done,
01:06:55.820 but they
01:06:56.340 didn't want
01:06:56.720 their fingerprints
01:06:57.340 on it,
01:06:57.900 and they
01:06:58.220 didn't have
01:06:58.580 a budget
01:06:58.940 to do it
01:06:59.420 themselves.
01:07:00.340 So they
01:07:00.900 would go
01:07:01.160 to Epstein
01:07:01.580 and say,
01:07:02.260 you know,
01:07:03.360 if you
01:07:03.780 could find
01:07:04.240 a billionaire
01:07:04.700 who would
01:07:05.980 give $10
01:07:07.140 million to
01:07:08.080 this entity,
01:07:10.380 that sounds
01:07:10.960 like it's
01:07:11.460 some charity,
01:07:12.300 we would
01:07:13.840 use that
01:07:14.320 money for
01:07:15.140 things that
01:07:15.840 would be
01:07:16.400 really good
01:07:17.160 for the
01:07:17.460 country.
01:07:18.500 So can
01:07:19.840 you go
01:07:20.160 get us
01:07:20.480 that money?
01:07:21.860 And maybe,
01:07:23.620 as Mike
01:07:24.940 Benz points
01:07:25.480 out, the
01:07:26.240 sex part
01:07:28.500 of it might
01:07:29.380 have been
01:07:29.800 something that
01:07:30.520 was just
01:07:30.920 good for
01:07:31.600 convincing
01:07:32.180 some rich
01:07:33.520 people,
01:07:34.020 maybe in
01:07:34.460 other countries
01:07:35.040 especially,
01:07:36.240 to work
01:07:37.680 with them.
01:07:39.040 So if
01:07:39.560 you were
01:07:39.980 some Middle
01:07:41.080 Least
01:07:41.540 billionaire,
01:07:43.660 and Epstein
01:07:44.760 came by
01:07:45.320 and said,
01:07:45.700 hey,
01:07:45.960 would you
01:07:46.260 like to
01:07:46.600 party?
01:07:47.680 And by
01:07:48.080 the way,
01:07:48.920 I could
01:07:49.280 use a
01:07:49.600 billion dollars
01:07:50.280 for some
01:07:52.660 project or
01:07:53.360 something.
01:07:53.900 Not to
01:07:54.420 him,
01:07:55.580 but maybe
01:07:56.100 we could
01:07:56.540 get a
01:07:57.260 slice of
01:07:57.780 that business.
01:07:58.680 Maybe
01:07:58.860 that's how
01:07:59.220 we got
01:07:59.480 rich.
01:08:00.740 So,
01:08:01.340 there's
01:08:01.640 that.
01:08:03.420 Speaking
01:08:03.900 also of
01:08:04.460 Mike
01:08:04.660 Benz,
01:08:05.080 he asked
01:08:05.440 this question.
01:08:06.060 he said
01:08:07.460 that Julian
01:08:08.400 Assange
01:08:09.060 is a
01:08:09.920 free man
01:08:10.420 now,
01:08:11.000 and he
01:08:11.400 should tell
01:08:11.800 us what
01:08:12.120 he meant
01:08:12.460 by this
01:08:12.940 clip.
01:08:14.400 It was a
01:08:15.120 clip where
01:08:15.480 he talked
01:08:15.820 about
01:08:16.040 Seth
01:08:16.400 Rich.
01:08:19.360 If you've
01:08:20.060 ever seen
01:08:20.520 that clip,
01:08:21.520 it was
01:08:22.020 quite a
01:08:22.900 while ago,
01:08:24.060 but Julian
01:08:24.780 Assange
01:08:25.380 talked about
01:08:26.460 Seth
01:08:27.100 Rich,
01:08:27.780 the young
01:08:28.300 man who
01:08:28.760 was a
01:08:29.160 Democrat
01:08:29.500 who got
01:08:30.040 murdered
01:08:30.620 on the
01:08:31.240 street,
01:08:32.020 and some
01:08:32.880 people said
01:08:33.540 that he
01:08:34.460 was a
01:08:34.940 source of
01:08:36.060 for
01:08:36.740 WikiLeaks.
01:08:39.320 And then
01:08:39.900 Assange,
01:08:41.080 who was
01:08:41.220 out of
01:08:41.500 WikiLeaks,
01:08:42.200 was talking
01:08:43.240 about Seth
01:08:43.920 Rich,
01:08:44.660 and he
01:08:45.320 made it
01:08:45.740 really clear
01:08:46.720 to the
01:08:47.680 interviewer
01:08:48.260 and the
01:08:48.760 audience
01:08:49.560 that Seth
01:08:50.820 Rich was
01:08:51.440 their source,
01:08:53.100 and that
01:08:53.460 that's why
01:08:53.880 he got
01:08:54.200 killed.
01:08:55.200 Now,
01:08:55.480 I don't
01:08:55.700 know that
01:08:56.040 that's
01:08:56.320 true.
01:08:57.320 I just
01:08:58.000 know that
01:08:58.440 Assange
01:08:58.880 made sure
01:08:59.560 that you
01:08:59.940 believed
01:09:00.360 he was
01:09:00.700 saying
01:09:01.000 that.
01:09:01.920 Now,
01:09:02.140 he didn't
01:09:02.440 say it.
01:09:03.660 He just
01:09:04.080 made sure
01:09:04.540 you knew
01:09:04.980 that that's
01:09:05.740 what he
01:09:06.060 was
01:09:06.220 thinking.
01:09:06.900 So he
01:09:07.440 did the
01:09:07.900 indirect
01:09:08.260 thing,
01:09:08.840 but the
01:09:09.760 indirect
01:09:10.060 thing was
01:09:10.580 so clear
01:09:11.300 that he
01:09:12.600 very clearly
01:09:13.600 said,
01:09:14.680 yeah,
01:09:14.960 Seth
01:09:15.200 Rich got
01:09:15.680 murdered for
01:09:16.260 being a
01:09:17.740 WikiLeaks
01:09:18.540 source.
01:09:20.220 So yeah,
01:09:21.040 if Julian
01:09:21.960 Assange is
01:09:22.700 free to
01:09:23.160 talk,
01:09:24.660 maybe we
01:09:25.360 should find
01:09:25.940 out what he
01:09:26.420 meant by
01:09:26.780 that.
01:09:27.880 But the
01:09:28.280 fact that he
01:09:28.880 didn't tell
01:09:29.400 us directly
01:09:31.160 before suggests
01:09:33.240 he might have
01:09:33.840 a reason not
01:09:34.420 to do it
01:09:34.780 directly again.
01:09:35.920 So don't
01:09:37.120 know if that
01:09:37.460 would work
01:09:37.840 or not.
01:09:40.020 RFK Jr.,
01:09:41.660 the HHS
01:09:42.820 secretary,
01:09:44.460 says the
01:09:45.360 U.S. is
01:09:45.840 going to
01:09:46.500 reject the
01:09:48.360 World Health
01:09:49.060 Organization's
01:09:50.080 pandemic
01:09:50.620 measures.
01:09:51.680 So I guess
01:09:52.100 the World
01:09:52.780 Health Organization
01:09:53.640 or WHO
01:09:54.700 has some
01:09:57.320 ideas for
01:09:58.000 all the
01:09:58.260 member countries
01:09:59.020 on what they
01:09:59.500 should do if
01:09:59.920 there's another
01:10:00.320 pandemic.
01:10:00.780 but the
01:10:01.820 last thing
01:10:02.340 we want
01:10:02.760 to do
01:10:03.160 is follow
01:10:04.100 their advice.
01:10:05.400 So it
01:10:05.720 looks like
01:10:06.060 we're going
01:10:06.360 to reject
01:10:06.740 that.
01:10:09.480 In other
01:10:10.360 news,
01:10:11.280 there's a
01:10:11.800 poll at
01:10:12.660 F&G
01:10:14.000 Annuities
01:10:14.560 and Life
01:10:15.060 that found
01:10:17.960 that one
01:10:19.880 in four
01:10:20.280 Americans are
01:10:21.020 considering
01:10:21.680 delaying
01:10:22.340 retirement
01:10:22.880 over economic
01:10:25.300 concerns.
01:10:26.780 Nearly a
01:10:27.580 quarter,
01:10:28.140 one in four.
01:10:28.740 does that
01:10:30.080 sound right
01:10:30.560 to you?
01:10:32.300 Because I
01:10:33.580 don't know
01:10:33.840 about you,
01:10:34.500 but when I
01:10:35.220 look at
01:10:35.800 the people
01:10:37.420 I know
01:10:37.920 who are
01:10:38.280 not rich,
01:10:39.780 I don't
01:10:40.640 know how
01:10:41.000 they're going
01:10:41.340 to survive
01:10:41.820 retirement.
01:10:43.820 Because if
01:10:46.100 you don't
01:10:46.580 have any
01:10:47.160 income in
01:10:47.800 and you're
01:10:48.280 only relying
01:10:48.900 on your
01:10:49.320 savings and
01:10:50.220 your social
01:10:51.940 security,
01:10:53.220 are you
01:10:53.900 going to be
01:10:54.200 able to
01:10:54.520 make that
01:10:55.020 work?
01:10:57.060 You know,
01:10:57.580 I don't
01:10:58.980 know,
01:10:59.500 but it
01:11:00.400 just doesn't
01:11:01.020 look like
01:11:01.460 most of
01:11:01.960 the country
01:11:02.520 can afford
01:11:03.420 to retire.
01:11:05.040 So,
01:11:07.400 you know,
01:11:07.800 I know I'm
01:11:08.540 not retiring,
01:11:09.900 but I don't
01:11:11.780 know.
01:11:12.300 I feel like
01:11:13.060 it's more
01:11:13.520 than one
01:11:13.920 in four.
01:11:16.280 There's a
01:11:17.140 company called
01:11:18.320 Protector,
01:11:19.820 which has a
01:11:20.820 little app
01:11:21.340 where you can
01:11:21.960 connect yourself
01:11:22.840 to off-duty
01:11:24.040 police officers
01:11:25.000 who live near
01:11:25.900 you, and
01:11:27.420 you can
01:11:28.640 get some
01:11:28.980 extra protection
01:11:30.040 that you
01:11:31.380 won't get
01:11:32.060 from your
01:11:32.500 own police
01:11:33.180 who may
01:11:34.040 have lost
01:11:34.740 their funding
01:11:35.300 if you live
01:11:36.540 in a blue
01:11:36.900 city, especially.
01:11:38.400 So, the
01:11:38.980 Post Millennial
01:11:40.500 is writing
01:11:40.900 about that.
01:11:42.160 So, that
01:11:42.540 sounds like a
01:11:43.120 good idea
01:11:43.640 to be able
01:11:45.400 to spend a
01:11:46.320 little extra
01:11:46.900 to have
01:11:48.280 off-duty
01:11:49.340 police officers
