Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2902 CWSA 07⧸19⧸25

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. 0.97

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 0.95

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. 1.00

00:10:29.900 Fuck me. 1.00

00:10:31.660 Of course 1.00

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 0.99

00:10:54.180 crazy person 0.99

00:10:54.960 or bad 0.97

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 0.57

00:11:57.060 economically 1.00

00:11:58.020 ignorant that 0.99

00:11:59.660 they think 1.00

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 1.00

00:12:29.100 stupid hoax 1.00

00:12:30.160 about Stephen 1.00

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 0.56

00:20:45.960 up in 1.00

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, 0.99

00:21:21.440 ho, 0.99

00:21:21.620 ho, 0.99

00:21:21.800 ho, 0.99

00:21:22.140 ho, 0.99

00:21:22.840 ho, 0.99

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 0.88

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. 0.83

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

00:25:52.720 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. 0.98

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. 0.68

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 1.00

00:30:04.140 the ass and 1.00

00:30:04.740 they take a 1.00

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 1.00

00:34:20.680 like bullshit. 0.99

00:34:22.020 Now, 1.00

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 0.94

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 0.99

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 0.52

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 0.65

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 0.54

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 1.00

00:42:23.940 stupid as his 1.00

00:42:24.800 ideas are, 1.00

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 0.60

00:43:06.140 be hunted. 0.68

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 0.82

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, 0.90

00:43:32.720 this is just

00:43:33.240 hilarious.

00:43:34.080 He's saying, 1.00

00:43:35.040 this idiot is 1.00

00:43:36.480 saying that 1.00

00:43:37.040 Republicans will

00:43:37.900 be hunted. 0.87

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 1.00

00:44:58.120 fuck up. 1.00

00:44:59.740 The things 1.00

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 0.97

00:45:12.620 that Trump

00:45:14.080 absolutely

00:45:14.840 should hunt 0.97

00:45:15.420 them down. 0.53

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 0.77

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. 0.99

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, 0.99

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 0.99

00:49:00.140 just kill 1.00

00:49:00.940 it. 1.00

00:49:01.720 He's just 0.99

00:49:02.180 killing it. 0.54

00:49:05.060 Laura 0.99

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 0.87

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 0.87

00:49:59.340 fucking big 0.97

00:50:00.020 that although 0.98

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 1.00

00:50:44.460 fucking 1.00

00:50:44.780 years. 0.99

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 0.96

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 0.98

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 0.72

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 0.72

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 0.72

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 0.98

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 0.72

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 0.68

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 1.00

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 0.72

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 0.88

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 0.94

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 0.94

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 0.56

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 0.59

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 0.99

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 0.97

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 0.96

01:03:32.100 useless. 0.85

01:03:32.760 So I don't 0.79

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 0.73

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? 0.53

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 0.99

01:05:55.160 blackmailer, 0.95

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 0.98

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 0.80

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

01:11:50.340 respond if

01:11:53.040 you can't

01:11:53.440 get anybody

01:11:54.200 else to

01:11:54.620 help.

01:11:57.400 Yeah.

01:11:59.060 You do

01:11:59.700 cops in

01:12:00.220 your yard.

01:12:03.260 All right.

01:12:05.740 And then,

01:12:06.860 lastly, as

01:12:09.600 I warned you

01:12:10.240 at the start,

01:12:11.620 this is the

01:12:12.360 end of my

01:12:12.780 prepared remarks.

01:12:14.100 So, Owen

01:12:14.640 Gregorian will

01:12:15.580 be holding

01:12:16.140 his Spaces

01:12:18.180 event on

01:12:19.700 X.

01:12:20.520 So, any of

01:12:21.380 you who

01:12:21.620 want to go

01:12:22.100 continue the

01:12:23.380 conversation

01:12:24.000 about the

01:12:24.760 news or

01:12:25.400 other things

01:12:26.900 as well,

01:12:27.480 I guess.

01:12:28.660 Look for

01:12:29.620 Owen Gregorian

01:12:30.940 on X.

01:12:33.920 And I

01:12:35.060 think I

01:12:35.520 forgot to

01:12:36.160 repost it,

01:12:37.180 but I'll do

01:12:37.540 that as soon

01:12:38.120 as we're

01:12:38.380 done.

01:12:39.580 And I'm

01:12:42.320 going to

01:12:42.500 talk to the

01:12:43.220 local

01:12:43.820 subscribers

01:12:44.600 privately

01:12:45.320 in a moment.

01:12:47.160 So, the

01:12:47.760 rest of you,
