Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2911 CWSA 07⧸29⧸25

00:00:00.000 Let me check your stocks, if you have any.

00:00:04.760 Yeah, it's kind of flat.

00:00:07.940 All right, well, we'll keep our fingers crossed.

00:00:13.420 You never know.

00:00:18.160 Hey, everybody, come on in.

00:00:20.520 It's good to see you.

00:00:23.040 Have you been exercising?

00:00:24.900 You look so good this morning.

00:00:26.440 May I remind you that you're the sexiest person in your house right now?

00:00:34.900 Probably.

00:00:43.380 Good morning, everyone, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:00:52.260 Imagine, it's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:00:56.900 But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating this experience to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:01:07.820 well, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tankard shell, a steinocanteen, jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:01:18.620 fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:20.560 I like coffee.

00:01:22.240 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:27.580 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:01:31.600 Well, if you were one of the subscribers to the Dilbert comic,

00:01:43.920 which would mean you were either an ex-subscribing or on Locals,

00:01:50.160 you would know that Wally has done the impossible.

00:01:56.540 He figured out how to not work at work, but then he got a Tesla self-driving car

00:02:04.460 so that he doesn't have to work at his commute, and then he doesn't have to work at his job,

00:02:10.460 and then when he goes home, he doesn't have to work at his commute again.

00:02:16.040 Well, Wally finally figured out how to do no effort whatsoever all day long.

00:02:22.460 Thanks to Tesla.

00:02:23.900 Well, I wonder if there's any scientific news about studies that you didn't need to do

00:02:33.000 because you could have just asked me.

00:02:36.460 Oh, here's one.

00:02:37.840 According to Science News, Simon Macon is writing,

00:02:41.740 that if you show people sick faces, it primes the immune system to repel invaders.

00:02:48.520 So, all you need to do is show people pictures of sick-looking faces,

00:02:57.240 and it will cause your immune system to kick in

00:03:01.340 so that you don't become one of those sick-looking people.

00:03:05.880 Now, how did I know that that was probably going to be true?

00:03:11.180 It's a hypnosis thing.

00:03:12.880 A hypnotist would know that your body works in two directions.

00:03:17.920 One, if you're happy, it might make you smile.

00:03:21.800 But if you smile when you're not happy, it might help make you happy.

00:03:26.380 So, your body is sort of a two-way system.

00:03:30.380 But it does make sense to me that if your body recognized the threat

00:03:34.960 by looking at somebody who looked unhealthy,

00:03:37.920 and you think to yourself, ooh, I can catch that maybe,

00:03:41.220 I can see how your body would have evolved to automatically go to defensive mode.

00:03:48.220 So, next time, just ask me.

00:03:52.080 Well, there's a new article from the University of Michigan,

00:03:58.580 a new study, that ultra-processed foods trigger addictive behaviors,

00:04:04.460 and that it meets a clinical criteria.

00:04:08.360 So, we might be approaching the time when addiction includes more than alcohol and illicit drugs.

00:04:17.140 It might include ultra-processed foods.

00:04:21.580 Now, I told you, well, some of you, about my experience several days ago,

00:04:27.960 which is I was trying to gain some weight because I lost too much weight in battling this.

00:04:34.360 Well, you know.

00:04:35.580 So, I had lost too much weight.

00:04:37.720 So, I was just trying to gain it back as quickly as possible.

00:04:41.460 And I said to myself, I'll bet you I could eat ice cream,

00:04:46.760 which I hadn't had in 25 years.

00:04:48.920 And I thought, well, I'll just eat some ice cream.

00:04:53.180 And I ended up, I probably had a quart.

00:04:58.380 I think a container about this big.

00:05:01.260 I just ate it right to the bottom.

00:05:02.940 And I could not stop.

00:05:08.160 It was addictive.

00:05:10.240 And because I don't normally eat food that is processed or highly processed,

00:05:16.920 I'm not really exposed to addictive foods.

00:05:20.980 I just avoid them.

00:05:22.920 Hey there, Gary.

00:05:23.920 Come on up.

00:05:24.540 So, after avoiding all the sugary addictive foods for years, really,

00:05:34.120 I don't even keep them in the house,

00:05:36.460 when I finally let myself experience the ultra-processed foods,

00:05:41.880 I was so aware that my body had been taken over.

00:05:47.140 The experience was like being in a robot

00:05:49.540 and watching the arms and the legs and the mouth and stuff.

00:05:53.120 I couldn't stop.

00:05:55.500 It was every bit an addiction.

00:05:58.440 It totally took over my brain.

00:06:01.400 So, the only way that I can avoid stuff like that

00:06:05.380 is I can't have it in the house.

00:06:08.940 Otherwise, it is just too strong.

00:06:14.960 Well, 21 states, I assume these are the red states,

00:06:20.700 have warned J.P. Morgan, Jamie Dimon, the head of J.P. Morgan,

00:06:27.080 and BlackRock's Larry Fink,

00:06:29.780 that both of those banker types, those money guys,

00:06:34.480 need to get rid of their woke environmental requirements.

00:06:38.700 So, a letter was signed by 26 state financial officers,

00:06:47.500 and they ordered those firms to take five concrete actions

00:06:51.480 to demonstrate their commitment to a fiduciary model

00:06:55.180 grounded in financial integrity, not political advocacy.

00:06:59.780 So, in other words, they wanted to make sure that the big money people

00:07:04.160 were making decisions based on their customers

00:07:08.460 and not making decisions based on climate change

00:07:13.360 and, you know, I want to change the world

00:07:15.500 and have more diversity and stuff like that.

00:07:18.880 So, the pendulum has completely reversed,

00:07:24.500 and now it's, if you're doing those things,

00:07:27.420 you're somebody who needs to change what you're doing.

00:07:33.180 All right.

00:07:35.440 Well, you've been following the dispute

00:07:38.080 between the Trump administration and Harvard.

00:07:41.500 Harvard was too woke and too racist,

00:07:44.780 and now Harvard watched what happened

00:07:49.340 when Columbia, was it Columbia?

00:07:52.780 Which is the one that, yeah,

00:07:54.220 Columbia just settled for 200 million plus,

00:07:57.320 and now Harvard is indicating

00:07:59.200 they might be willing to settle up

00:08:01.600 with the administration

00:08:02.500 for as much as $500 million.

00:08:07.740 Now, I don't know if that's true

00:08:09.620 because this is a sort of reporting

00:08:13.000 that feels a little mind-reading, reader-ish.

00:08:16.820 So, I don't know that that's a real number.

00:08:19.560 But Newsmax is reporting it,

00:08:21.820 that they might be ponying up $500 million

00:08:24.580 just to resolve it

00:08:26.080 and to get their federal funding released.

00:08:30.680 And so, once again,

00:08:32.680 I am impressed

00:08:33.660 at how President Trump can monetize his problems.

00:08:37.700 Not only will the universities

00:08:42.160 ideally address their racism,

00:08:46.380 but they will also pay a bunch of money

00:08:49.380 into the Treasury

00:08:50.780 so that Trump can lower the deficit.

00:08:55.020 I just love that.

00:08:56.740 No other president

00:08:58.060 has really ever tried

00:09:00.480 to monetize all of his biggest problems.

00:09:03.380 But Trump is doing it one after another,

00:09:05.400 and every time he does it,

00:09:08.080 you know,

00:09:08.380 you kind of fail to notice

00:09:10.140 that it's part of a pattern

00:09:11.200 that he's just monetizing everything.

00:09:15.080 It's very impressive.

00:10:18.620 So you want to be frightened

00:10:21.880 about something?

00:10:22.900 You should be.

00:10:24.400 So Sam Altman warns,

00:10:26.180 I think he was on

00:10:27.020 Theo Vaughn's podcast,

00:10:29.040 and he warns that

00:10:30.780 ChatGBT remembers

00:10:32.660 its conversations with you.

00:10:34.900 It also remembers

00:10:36.080 what you've asked it about.

00:10:38.120 So if ever there were

00:10:41.460 some kind of lawsuit

00:10:42.520 in which it became necessary

00:10:46.500 to find out

00:10:47.580 what you've been saying

00:10:48.500 and thinking lately,

00:10:50.600 they could, with a warrant,

00:10:53.060 they could access

00:10:54.060 all of your questions to AI.

00:10:57.940 So how many people do you think

00:11:00.220 have contemplated breaking the law

00:11:03.000 and asked AI how to do it effectively

00:11:05.960 and get away with it?

00:11:07.540 I don't know how many,

00:11:09.360 but I'm guessing

00:11:10.180 a lot of people.

00:11:14.080 I'm guessing that a lot of people

00:11:16.340 have asked AI

00:11:17.620 how to get away with a crime.

00:11:19.720 A lot of people.

00:11:21.160 At the very least,

00:11:22.820 you know,

00:11:23.080 how to hide your tax money illegally

00:11:25.420 or how to do something illegally.

00:11:27.720 So I'm proud to say

00:11:31.560 that I knew that was a risk

00:11:33.420 from the start,

00:11:34.740 and so I do not use

00:11:36.720 Google search engines

00:11:38.060 to look for anything

00:11:39.360 that I wouldn't want

00:11:41.100 the entire world to know about.

00:11:43.640 You should adopt that standard.

00:11:46.360 Let me say it again.

00:11:48.000 Don't use a search engine

00:11:49.740 or AI

00:11:50.680 to look for anything,

00:11:54.260 anything at all,

00:11:55.380 that you wouldn't want

00:11:56.960 the whole world

00:11:57.620 to see publicly

00:11:58.480 because the odds of them

00:12:00.820 someday seeing it publicly,

00:12:02.800 not very bad.

00:12:04.640 There's a good chance they will.

00:12:07.960 So follow that advice.

00:12:11.960 So you may have noticed

00:12:13.540 that the whole Russia hoax collusion story

00:12:17.920 should be the biggest story in America

00:12:20.780 because now even more

00:12:23.440 than we already knew,

00:12:24.980 we know that,

00:12:26.200 I think we know it.

00:12:27.780 I feel like the information

00:12:29.320 is sufficient at this point

00:12:31.660 for me to call it a fact.

00:12:33.840 It's a fact

00:12:34.980 that Obama

00:12:36.240 and Brennan

00:12:37.100 and Clapper

00:12:37.820 and Comey 1.00

00:12:39.560 and a bunch of others

00:12:42.020 colluded

00:12:43.260 to overthrow

00:12:44.860 the government

00:12:45.440 of the United States.

00:12:46.560 to me,

00:12:48.360 based on what we've been told

00:12:49.680 by Tulsi Gabbard

00:12:50.960 and what we know

00:12:51.940 from other reporting,

00:12:53.420 I believe that that's

00:12:54.660 no longer in question.

00:12:56.060 Is it?

00:12:57.240 Is there even a question

00:12:59.160 about whether those cats

00:13:02.120 I mentioned

00:13:02.760 were trying to

00:13:04.280 change the result

00:13:06.040 of elections

00:13:06.740 or get rid of Trump

00:13:07.980 once he got elected?

00:13:09.300 There's no doubt about it.

00:13:11.580 Right.

00:13:12.820 So,

00:13:13.560 the question is,

00:13:14.620 why is it not

00:13:18.060 a bigger story?

00:13:19.500 If you're following

00:13:20.680 only the news

00:13:21.580 on the political right,

00:13:23.380 you think it's a big story.

00:13:26.180 But nobody

00:13:27.260 on the political right

00:13:28.300 is changing their opinion

00:13:29.500 about any of it

00:13:30.300 because we already knew,

00:13:31.840 we kind of already knew it,

00:13:33.040 right?

00:13:33.780 But the people

00:13:34.640 on the left

00:13:35.280 who don't know

00:13:36.520 anything about it

00:13:37.740 and indeed

00:13:38.580 still think

00:13:39.900 that the dossier

00:13:41.300 was real

00:13:42.080 and that

00:13:43.460 Mueller proved

00:13:45.060 there was

00:13:45.620 collusion.

00:13:47.120 If you talk

00:13:48.100 to Democrats,

00:13:49.520 they will tell you that.

00:13:51.460 That Mueller

00:13:52.060 proved collusion.

00:13:55.840 That Russia

00:13:56.800 tried to help

00:13:57.580 Trump

00:13:58.040 and

00:13:59.880 that's all

00:14:02.680 there is

00:14:03.020 to the story.

00:14:03.580 they'll have

00:14:05.920 no idea

00:14:06.600 that,

00:14:07.820 you know,

00:14:08.060 the worst

00:14:08.800 political

00:14:09.660 actors

00:14:11.000 in our lifetime,

00:14:12.540 maybe ever,

00:14:13.880 pulled off

00:14:14.740 the most despicable

00:14:16.040 coup attempt

00:14:17.540 and it's just

00:14:19.060 not really

00:14:19.740 something their news

00:14:21.420 is interested in.

00:14:22.980 Now,

00:14:23.300 it makes sense

00:14:24.000 that the mainstream news

00:14:25.460 wouldn't cover

00:14:26.340 much of it.

00:14:27.780 They've all mentioned it,

00:14:28.920 of course,

00:14:29.500 so it's not like

00:14:30.440 somebody's completely

00:14:31.400 ignored it.

00:14:31.980 but they

00:14:36.240 can't really

00:14:37.180 say what's

00:14:37.960 true

00:14:38.400 because that

00:14:39.940 would implicate

00:14:40.840 themselves

00:14:41.460 and they're

00:14:42.320 already implicated

00:14:43.240 enough

00:14:43.780 with the

00:14:44.780 Biden brain

00:14:45.520 cover-up.

00:14:47.060 Imagine if they

00:14:48.080 go from the

00:14:48.840 Biden brain

00:14:49.640 cover-up

00:14:50.360 to,

00:14:51.720 well,

00:14:52.340 I guess we

00:14:53.180 also covered

00:14:54.080 up the

00:14:54.680 Russia

00:14:55.660 collusion

00:14:56.440 hoax.

00:14:57.860 Yeah,

00:14:58.360 that's the other

00:14:59.280 thing we did.

00:14:59.960 We covered that

00:15:00.600 up.

00:15:00.780 And now

00:15:01.520 they're

00:15:01.740 covering it

00:15:02.360 up again.

00:15:03.480 How in the

00:15:04.160 world can

00:15:04.660 they get

00:15:05.040 away with

00:15:05.480 that?

00:15:06.380 And the

00:15:06.680 answer is

00:15:07.320 because it's

00:15:08.840 a complicated

00:15:09.520 story.

00:15:11.180 All you

00:15:12.000 need is

00:15:13.060 a complicated

00:15:13.860 story with

00:15:15.100 lots of

00:15:15.520 actors and

00:15:16.340 actions and

00:15:17.180 you know,

00:15:17.800 it goes

00:15:18.120 across time.

00:15:20.320 You combine

00:15:21.280 the complicated

00:15:22.100 story with

00:15:23.460 all of the

00:15:24.040 people on

00:15:24.480 the mainstream

00:15:24.940 media for

00:15:26.520 their own

00:15:27.000 use,

00:15:27.520 their own

00:15:27.880 reasons,

00:15:28.380 so they

00:15:28.520 don't have

00:15:28.820 to be

00:15:29.020 talked into

00:15:29.540 it,

00:15:30.280 minimizing

00:15:30.800 the story

00:15:31.660 and acting

00:15:32.440 like there's

00:15:32.940 nothing there.

00:15:34.560 That's all

00:15:35.460 you need to

00:15:36.180 make it go

00:15:36.760 away.

00:15:38.060 So,

00:15:38.540 what's

00:15:39.040 interesting is

00:15:39.960 the only

00:15:42.420 way the

00:15:43.500 story,

00:15:44.260 which is the

00:15:44.760 most relevant

00:15:45.440 story in

00:15:46.080 American

00:15:46.500 experience at

00:15:48.720 the moment,

00:15:49.840 it's the

00:15:50.460 biggest one,

00:15:51.600 but it's

00:15:52.280 totally going

00:15:53.240 away,

00:15:53.640 and the

00:15:54.780 Democrats

00:15:55.340 will succeed

00:15:56.540 in disappearing

00:15:57.860 it right in

00:15:58.420 front of you

00:15:58.900 and their

00:16:00.000 voters won't

00:16:01.000 even imagine

00:16:03.180 that it

00:16:03.680 matters when

00:16:04.340 they go to

00:16:04.700 the voting

00:16:05.040 booth,

00:16:05.540 won't even

00:16:06.040 be on

00:16:06.600 their minds

00:16:07.800 at all,

00:16:08.320 won't be in

00:16:08.720 the top

00:16:09.040 20 of

00:16:10.120 things they're

00:16:10.640 thinking about.

00:16:12.280 The only

00:16:13.260 thing that

00:16:13.760 would change

00:16:14.280 that is

00:16:16.080 a perp

00:16:16.840 walk or

00:16:18.480 actually arresting

00:16:19.780 Obama or

00:16:21.620 Brennan or

00:16:22.340 Clapper or

00:16:23.200 Comey.

00:16:24.600 So,

00:16:25.680 I've said

00:16:27.160 before that

00:16:27.760 normally I'm

00:16:28.440 not too

00:16:30.540 keen on

00:16:31.340 one administration

00:16:32.220 punishing the

00:16:33.120 last administration

00:16:34.100 because that's

00:16:36.300 a slippery

00:16:37.520 slope to

00:16:38.380 complete chaos,

00:16:40.040 but that's

00:16:41.900 only if you're

00:16:42.520 the one who's

00:16:43.040 starting it.

00:16:44.280 If the other

00:16:45.260 side started

00:16:46.120 it and they

00:16:46.960 made it clear

00:16:47.580 that they

00:16:47.980 will do

00:16:48.280 absolutely

00:16:48.840 anything,

00:16:50.160 including

00:16:50.600 the

00:16:52.160 fine people

00:16:53.680 hoax,

00:16:54.340 including

00:16:54.820 covering up

00:16:56.020 Biden's

00:16:56.500 brain,

00:16:57.200 including

00:16:57.700 saying things

00:17:00.100 that would

00:17:00.380 get Trump 0.89

00:17:00.860 assassinated, 0.96

00:17:02.540 and including

00:17:03.300 the Russia

00:17:03.780 hoax.

00:17:04.940 There's

00:17:05.500 absolutely

00:17:05.960 nothing that

00:17:06.720 they wouldn't

00:17:07.140 do to

00:17:08.760 retain power.

00:17:11.000 So,

00:17:11.480 anyway,

00:17:13.920 that's happening.

00:17:14.840 The only way

00:17:15.600 to keep it in

00:17:16.480 the news is

00:17:17.140 to arrest a

00:17:17.900 high-level

00:17:18.300 person.

00:17:18.760 So,

00:17:19.720 if I were

00:17:20.100 Trump and

00:17:21.240 his team,

00:17:23.160 I would be

00:17:24.420 thinking,

00:17:25.180 who should we

00:17:25.660 go after

00:17:26.080 first?

00:17:27.680 And somebody

00:17:29.060 needs to get

00:17:29.660 arrested.

00:17:30.880 Now,

00:17:31.380 that doesn't

00:17:31.760 mean they'll

00:17:32.100 go to jail.

00:17:32.820 I think the

00:17:33.260 odds of any

00:17:33.800 of them going

00:17:34.280 to jail are

00:17:34.900 pretty low

00:17:35.380 because there's

00:17:36.740 a thing called

00:17:37.400 lawyers and

00:17:38.200 there may be

00:17:39.320 some credible

00:17:40.140 deniability.

00:17:41.680 And I feel

00:17:42.820 like they may

00:17:43.440 have created a

00:17:44.560 situation where

00:17:45.340 they can weasel

00:17:46.080 it, sort

00:17:47.100 of like they

00:17:47.520 did the

00:17:48.100 Hunter laptop,

00:17:49.520 where they

00:17:50.300 say, we

00:17:50.940 never said it

00:17:51.760 was Russian.

00:17:52.920 No, we

00:17:53.280 never said

00:17:53.800 that.

00:17:54.380 That's what

00:17:54.760 you believe

00:17:55.700 we said.

00:17:56.700 But if you

00:17:57.260 look at our

00:17:57.740 actual words,

00:17:59.200 what we said

00:18:00.220 was, it has

00:18:01.380 all the look

00:18:03.100 of being a

00:18:03.680 Russian product.

00:18:04.800 We didn't

00:18:05.400 say it was,

00:18:06.820 which would

00:18:07.300 have been

00:18:07.540 wrong.

00:18:08.320 We just

00:18:08.960 said it

00:18:09.360 really looks

00:18:10.020 like it.

00:18:11.200 So, there's

00:18:12.060 going to be

00:18:12.400 some version

00:18:13.100 of that that

00:18:14.640 would probably

00:18:15.160 be a sufficient

00:18:15.940 defense, you 1.00

00:18:17.140 know, at

00:18:17.660 least with

00:18:17.940 the jury

00:18:18.280 trial.

00:18:21.020 Anyway,

00:18:22.000 Sean Davis

00:18:26.500 is pointing

00:18:27.060 out that

00:18:27.700 Gina Haspel,

00:18:29.440 who had

00:18:29.800 been the

00:18:30.100 head of

00:18:30.320 the CIA,

00:18:33.240 she reported

00:18:34.900 prior to

00:18:35.460 the 2020,

00:18:36.280 oh, I guess

00:18:36.920 Sean Davis

00:18:37.500 was writing

00:18:38.380 about this

00:18:38.920 all the way

00:18:39.640 in 2020,

00:18:41.720 that she

00:18:42.720 personally

00:18:43.300 blocked the

00:18:43.980 release of

00:18:45.460 key documents

00:18:46.320 exposing the

00:18:47.300 Russia collusion

00:18:48.020 hoax, and

00:18:49.520 that she was

00:18:50.340 personally banking

00:18:51.460 on a Trump

00:18:52.120 election loss

00:18:53.140 to keep all

00:18:54.480 the evidence

00:18:55.000 hidden.

00:18:55.700 Now, I don't

00:18:56.040 know exactly

00:18:56.580 how Sean

00:18:57.260 Davis has

00:18:57.880 that exclusive

00:18:59.800 scoop, but

00:19:01.800 he's a

00:19:02.460 credible guy,

00:19:03.560 so if he

00:19:04.220 says so, I

00:19:05.060 believe it.

00:19:06.400 So, could

00:19:07.800 that be much

00:19:08.440 worse than

00:19:09.780 having the

00:19:10.280 CIA, the

00:19:11.200 CIA working

00:19:12.340 against the

00:19:13.780 country, well,

00:19:16.640 that's about

00:19:17.040 as bad as

00:19:17.480 it gets.

00:19:20.400 All right,

00:19:22.000 Senator

00:19:22.520 Hawley,

00:19:23.440 Josh Hawley,

00:19:24.120 is introducing

00:19:24.660 the bill to

00:19:26.480 take the

00:19:27.660 $600 million,

00:19:30.020 not million,

00:19:31.960 billion, right,

00:19:32.840 $600 billion

00:19:33.620 that we've

00:19:35.160 made from

00:19:35.620 tariffs, or

00:19:36.580 that we will

00:19:37.100 make from

00:19:37.540 tariffs by the

00:19:38.220 end of the

00:19:38.520 year, and

00:19:39.660 give rebate.

00:19:42.900 Oh, no, he's

00:19:43.780 talking about a

00:19:44.320 $600 tariff

00:19:45.560 rebate check.

00:19:46.660 Sorry, it was

00:19:47.260 completely written.

00:19:49.260 So, he wants

00:19:49.980 to give rebate

00:19:50.640 checks based on

00:19:51.680 all the tariff

00:19:52.300 money coming

00:19:52.820 in.

00:19:54.860 What do you

00:19:55.420 think of

00:19:55.740 that?

00:19:56.740 Do you

00:19:57.400 think that

00:19:58.760 Trump's base

00:20:00.740 wants to get

00:20:01.840 a tariff

00:20:02.980 rebate check,

00:20:03.940 and it would

00:20:04.300 only be for

00:20:04.860 people under

00:20:05.480 a certain

00:20:05.880 income?

00:20:06.260 And do

00:20:07.920 you think

00:20:08.140 they'd rather

00:20:08.700 do that or

00:20:09.620 have it go

00:20:10.360 toward paying

00:20:11.020 down the

00:20:11.900 national debt?

00:20:13.940 Well, the

00:20:14.840 answer is, I'm

00:20:15.960 pretty sure

00:20:16.660 most Republicans

00:20:18.700 would say pay

00:20:19.620 down that

00:20:20.080 debt.

00:20:21.760 Remember I

00:20:22.600 told you that

00:20:24.100 Congress is

00:20:25.800 so broken

00:20:26.540 that no matter

00:20:27.920 how much

00:20:28.400 money Doge

00:20:29.200 could save,

00:20:30.460 and this

00:20:30.840 applies to

00:20:31.600 the tariffs,

00:20:33.020 no matter

00:20:33.340 how much

00:20:33.820 money the

00:20:34.540 tariffs make,

00:20:35.280 that instead

00:20:36.640 of seeing

00:20:37.220 it as a

00:20:38.080 reduction in

00:20:38.800 your expenses

00:20:39.460 or a

00:20:40.000 reduction in

00:20:41.140 your deficit,

00:20:42.860 that Congress

00:20:43.640 would see it as

00:20:44.420 a source of

00:20:45.060 money to

00:20:45.500 spend.

00:20:46.640 That's what

00:20:47.320 this is.

00:20:48.580 So Josh

00:20:49.180 Hawley is

00:20:49.860 seeing this

00:20:51.180 tariff stuff

00:20:52.480 as a source

00:20:53.360 of money to

00:20:54.140 spend to,

00:20:55.960 what,

00:20:56.240 directly buy

00:20:56.940 some votes

00:20:57.580 by just

00:20:59.420 sending people

00:21:00.040 a check.

00:21:00.420 I assume

00:21:01.800 it polls

00:21:02.540 well,

00:21:03.820 because Hawley

00:21:04.400 is pretty

00:21:04.840 smart,

00:21:05.640 so he

00:21:06.220 wouldn't

00:21:06.500 suggest it

00:21:07.260 unless he

00:21:09.140 probably had

00:21:09.660 some internal

00:21:10.300 polling or

00:21:10.980 something that

00:21:11.460 says, oh

00:21:11.820 yeah, if you

00:21:12.380 send people a

00:21:13.220 check, they

00:21:14.380 remember the

00:21:15.000 check, and

00:21:16.220 they might want

00:21:16.760 another one,

00:21:17.420 so it'll help

00:21:19.300 Republicans get

00:21:21.100 elected.

00:21:21.860 But I'm

00:21:22.680 opposed to it,

00:21:23.700 but I can

00:21:26.720 understand why

00:21:27.840 they'd want to

00:21:28.380 do it, if

00:21:29.260 it's good for

00:21:29.920 them getting

00:21:30.540 re-elected.

00:21:34.660 According to

00:21:35.660 Axios,

00:21:37.720 Democrats have

00:21:38.980 a reason to

00:21:39.560 be optimistic

00:21:40.280 about the

00:21:40.920 2026 midterm

00:21:42.540 elections.

00:21:43.920 So here are

00:21:44.720 the reasons

00:21:45.260 that Axios

00:21:46.140 gives for

00:21:47.720 why Democrats

00:21:48.840 would do

00:21:50.040 well in the

00:21:50.760 midterms.

00:21:51.340 Now keep in

00:21:51.960 mind that you

00:21:53.200 don't need

00:21:53.660 any reasons.

00:21:55.580 We have such

00:21:56.720 a long track

00:21:57.740 record of the

00:21:58.820 party that's

00:21:59.500 not in power

00:22:00.340 gaining seats

00:22:02.140 in midterm

00:22:03.640 elections.

00:22:04.860 So it

00:22:06.220 almost doesn't

00:22:07.040 matter who

00:22:07.460 the president

00:22:08.000 is, and

00:22:08.840 probably it's

00:22:10.480 just going to

00:22:10.900 go that usual

00:22:11.600 way.

00:22:12.260 However, if

00:22:13.700 ever there

00:22:14.840 was a time

00:22:15.540 that it

00:22:16.400 wouldn't go

00:22:16.980 the usual

00:22:17.640 way, it

00:22:18.640 would be

00:22:18.880 this time.

00:22:20.520 So the

00:22:21.980 historical

00:22:22.720 trend,

00:22:23.320 which even

00:22:24.700 if it

00:22:25.040 had been

00:22:25.300 100%

00:22:25.980 of the

00:22:26.240 time up

00:22:26.880 until now,

00:22:27.920 this would

00:22:28.260 be the

00:22:28.560 one time

00:22:29.180 you could

00:22:29.580 legitimately

00:22:30.140 say,

00:22:30.800 well, this

00:22:32.520 situation is

00:22:34.120 fundamentally

00:22:35.380 different.

00:22:36.480 And what's

00:22:36.900 fundamentally

00:22:37.580 different is

00:22:39.080 that the

00:22:39.660 favorability of

00:22:40.760 Democrats is

00:22:41.560 at an all-time

00:22:42.240 low.

00:22:43.160 And that

00:22:44.040 Trump is

00:22:44.760 having the

00:22:45.300 presidency of

00:22:46.240 all presidencies.

00:22:47.780 Now, not

00:22:48.420 everybody's going

00:22:49.180 to give

00:22:49.480 him as

00:22:49.960 high marks

00:22:50.560 as his

00:22:50.980 base, but

00:22:52.500 we'll talk

00:22:53.400 about that.

00:22:54.060 Even the

00:22:54.840 Democrats are

00:22:55.500 starting to

00:22:56.140 say, all

00:22:57.120 right, well,

00:22:58.000 okay, I

00:22:58.460 gotta admit,

00:22:59.260 that was

00:22:59.640 pretty good

00:23:00.380 what you did

00:23:00.900 there, Trump.

00:23:02.040 So that's a

00:23:03.220 situation that's

00:23:05.160 very rare.

00:23:07.000 Will it be

00:23:07.540 enough?

00:23:08.720 I don't know.

00:23:09.920 But listen to

00:23:10.780 Axios'

00:23:11.480 five things

00:23:14.400 that would

00:23:15.600 make Democrats

00:23:16.400 have a better

00:23:16.940 midterm,

00:23:17.560 right?

00:23:18.400 They say the

00:23:19.420 big, beautiful

00:23:20.020 bill is

00:23:20.620 polling terribly.

00:23:23.620 Well, I

00:23:25.160 think people

00:23:25.860 would only care

00:23:26.500 about individual

00:23:27.340 things that

00:23:29.520 are in the

00:23:30.120 bill.

00:23:30.420 I don't think

00:23:30.880 they would

00:23:31.420 vote or

00:23:32.900 show up to

00:23:33.640 vote or

00:23:34.280 decide not to

00:23:35.660 stay home

00:23:36.160 because of the

00:23:36.760 big, beautiful

00:23:37.320 bill.

00:23:38.120 Does that

00:23:38.520 one sound

00:23:39.300 persuasive to

00:23:41.320 you, that

00:23:42.420 because people

00:23:43.080 don't like the

00:23:43.780 big, beautiful

00:23:44.400 bill, that

00:23:46.460 more Democrats

00:23:47.340 will show up

00:23:47.960 for the

00:23:48.220 midterms?

00:23:49.440 I don't feel

00:23:50.300 like it.

00:23:51.380 I feel like

00:23:52.460 if you had a

00:23:53.020 conversation with

00:23:53.860 any Democrat,

00:23:55.000 you'd stop

00:23:55.480 them on the

00:23:55.920 street, you 0.92

00:23:56.900 go, tell me

00:23:57.440 about Trump

00:23:58.860 and why you'd

00:23:59.640 want Democrats

00:24:01.100 to win the

00:24:01.600 midterm.

00:24:02.940 Would any

00:24:03.920 of them say,

00:24:04.960 well, I'm

00:24:05.440 still mad about

00:24:06.180 that big,

00:24:06.720 beautiful bill

00:24:07.320 that I don't

00:24:07.860 even know what

00:24:08.440 was in it?

00:24:09.500 I don't feel

00:24:10.360 like it.

00:24:11.320 So I'm

00:24:11.600 going to

00:24:12.800 disagree with

00:24:13.720 Axios on

00:24:14.460 the first

00:24:14.840 one.

00:24:15.320 Number two,

00:24:16.020 custom Medicaid

00:24:16.920 and the

00:24:17.500 Affordable Care

00:24:18.120 Act, which

00:24:20.240 is part of

00:24:20.640 the big,

00:24:20.940 beautiful bill.

00:24:23.140 Let's

00:24:23.620 be mad at

00:24:24.160 that.

00:24:24.540 That's a

00:24:25.260 possibility.

00:24:27.360 But if

00:24:29.000 we go

00:24:30.940 another year

00:24:31.800 and the

00:24:33.440 people who

00:24:33.960 vote have

00:24:35.000 not personally

00:24:35.780 lost their

00:24:36.420 health care,

00:24:38.080 do you think

00:24:38.640 they'll have

00:24:39.300 as much

00:24:39.760 interest in

00:24:40.380 it?

00:24:41.160 It will

00:24:41.920 be true

00:24:42.500 that illegal

00:24:44.520 non-citizens

00:24:46.160 will lose

00:24:46.680 their coverage.

00:24:47.660 It will

00:24:48.140 be true

00:24:48.660 that some

00:24:49.340 able-bodied

00:24:51.280 people who

00:24:51.920 should have

00:24:52.280 done something

00:24:52.960 more to

00:24:53.800 make sure

00:24:55.180 that they

00:24:55.480 got their

00:24:55.860 health care,

00:24:56.760 i.e.

00:24:57.640 get off the

00:24:58.100 couch and

00:24:58.520 get a job.

00:25:01.360 Are those

00:25:02.140 the people

00:25:02.540 who are

00:25:02.840 going to

00:25:03.120 vote?

00:25:03.440 if you

00:25:05.220 were so

00:25:05.620 lazy that

00:25:06.280 you wouldn't

00:25:06.600 even get

00:25:06.980 a job so

00:25:08.360 that you

00:25:08.700 can also

00:25:09.340 have health

00:25:09.860 care, do

00:25:11.760 you think

00:25:12.060 you're voting?

00:25:13.660 I don't know.

00:25:14.820 So it's

00:25:15.560 possible that

00:25:17.140 while in

00:25:18.120 concept, the

00:25:19.800 Democrats would 0.89

00:25:20.520 be very against

00:25:21.300 anybody losing

00:25:22.020 health care,

00:25:22.920 but they might

00:25:24.080 just forget

00:25:24.760 about it because

00:25:25.740 they might not

00:25:26.260 know anybody

00:25:26.900 who actually

00:25:27.380 loses their

00:25:28.000 health care

00:25:28.480 and didn't

00:25:31.200 have it

00:25:31.540 coming.

00:25:32.440 So we'll

00:25:32.860 see.

00:25:33.860 So that

00:25:34.700 one could

00:25:35.300 make a

00:25:35.940 difference,

00:25:37.300 but not

00:25:38.280 100%.

00:25:39.020 Then there

00:25:41.240 is the

00:25:41.700 fact that

00:25:42.560 prices are

00:25:43.200 still high

00:25:43.740 under Trump

00:25:44.400 and he

00:25:45.200 had promised

00:25:45.740 to lower

00:25:46.220 them.

00:25:47.640 Let me

00:25:47.980 ask you

00:25:48.380 this.

00:25:49.100 How many

00:25:49.580 of you

00:25:49.880 think that

00:25:50.740 a president

00:25:51.420 has any

00:25:52.360 control over

00:25:53.380 prices?

00:25:55.960 Why are we

00:25:56.740 even talking

00:25:57.240 about it?

00:25:58.480 The only

00:25:59.200 thing a

00:25:59.600 president can

00:26:00.240 do is not

00:26:01.460 overspend.

00:26:03.300 That's it.

00:26:04.660 They basically

00:26:05.460 have one

00:26:05.960 button.

00:26:06.800 Don't run

00:26:07.300 up the

00:26:07.600 debt so we

00:26:08.200 have to

00:26:08.480 print a

00:26:08.860 bunch of

00:26:09.200 money.

00:26:09.640 Nothing

00:26:09.880 else.

00:26:11.260 Now,

00:26:11.680 Trump also

00:26:12.280 has the

00:26:12.820 energy thing,

00:26:14.340 which is an

00:26:15.300 inspired way

00:26:16.280 to look at

00:26:16.780 it.

00:26:17.540 So if he

00:26:18.400 gooses energy

00:26:19.260 production and

00:26:21.580 he has been,

00:26:23.320 let's say,

00:26:24.620 judicious with

00:26:25.740 the debt so

00:26:27.160 that it's

00:26:28.140 not spiraling

00:26:28.940 out of

00:26:29.260 control and

00:26:30.060 he's doing

00:26:30.920 some doge

00:26:31.620 things,

00:26:33.240 that's all

00:26:34.360 he can do.

00:26:36.200 Well, if you

00:26:37.300 look at things

00:26:37.880 like eggs,

00:26:39.940 the government

00:26:41.260 can subsidize

00:26:43.220 one area of

00:26:44.340 expenses for a

00:26:45.320 while or they

00:26:46.860 can change

00:26:47.920 some regulations

00:26:49.880 so that one

00:26:50.820 part of the

00:26:51.420 economy improves

00:26:54.780 like eggs.

00:26:55.420 things, but

00:26:57.400 basically you

00:26:58.200 don't have

00:26:58.500 really any

00:26:58.980 tools.

00:27:00.480 You're just

00:27:00.880 doing more

00:27:01.440 energy because

00:27:02.800 that lowers

00:27:03.280 all the

00:27:03.720 energy costs

00:27:04.380 and you're

00:27:05.600 so I don't

00:27:08.460 know.

00:27:08.640 I do think

00:27:09.640 that people

00:27:10.160 have an

00:27:11.440 affordability

00:27:12.140 problem and

00:27:12.820 that that

00:27:13.200 will matter

00:27:13.960 even though it

00:27:16.100 shouldn't maybe.

00:27:18.040 Then there's

00:27:18.880 Trump's

00:27:19.280 deportation

00:27:20.120 because he's

00:27:20.640 sending back

00:27:21.260 more than

00:27:21.800 just the

00:27:22.280 worst first.

00:27:23.920 But I have

00:27:25.620 not heard

00:27:26.280 anybody complain

00:27:27.160 about it yet.

00:27:28.400 Have you?

00:27:29.600 Is there

00:27:30.240 anybody in

00:27:30.880 your real

00:27:31.480 world who's

00:27:34.260 complaining that

00:27:35.260 too many of

00:27:36.280 the wrong kind

00:27:36.800 of people are

00:27:37.300 being shipped

00:27:37.920 out of the

00:27:39.060 country?

00:27:40.080 I've complained.

00:27:42.400 Nobody I

00:27:43.200 know has

00:27:44.360 been shipped

00:27:44.800 out of the

00:27:45.200 country.

00:27:45.640 Nobody I

00:27:46.060 know has

00:27:46.360 been deported.

00:27:47.520 But I do

00:27:48.780 have a problem

00:27:49.440 with somebody

00:27:50.060 who's lived

00:27:50.820 and worked

00:27:51.220 here for

00:27:51.560 20 years

00:27:52.300 being deported.

00:27:54.140 I'm not

00:27:54.780 going to hide

00:27:56.420 that just

00:27:56.980 because I

00:27:57.300 know that's

00:27:57.700 not popular

00:27:58.340 to say on

00:27:58.940 this broadcast.

00:28:00.480 And you

00:28:00.780 might have a

00:28:01.280 different opinion

00:28:01.900 and I would

00:28:03.120 respect that.

00:28:05.520 But the one

00:28:06.480 thing I'll tell

00:28:06.980 you is that

00:28:07.500 the more

00:28:08.020 personal contact

00:28:09.320 you have

00:28:09.960 with members

00:28:11.480 of the

00:28:12.020 immigrant

00:28:12.400 community,

00:28:13.460 there's no

00:28:14.820 way that

00:28:15.140 doesn't affect

00:28:15.860 you.

00:28:16.860 And I've

00:28:17.500 had a lot

00:28:17.900 of contact.

00:28:18.560 contact.

00:28:19.320 So, you

00:28:20.660 know, if

00:28:21.920 you had as

00:28:22.460 much contact

00:28:23.280 as I did

00:28:23.920 over the

00:28:24.420 course of

00:28:24.880 your adult

00:28:25.320 life, you

00:28:26.600 would probably

00:28:27.140 agree with

00:28:27.820 me.

00:28:28.820 But most

00:28:29.540 of you

00:28:29.800 haven't.

00:28:30.920 So on

00:28:31.300 paper, if

00:28:33.180 there were

00:28:33.720 no humans

00:28:34.380 involved just

00:28:35.120 on paper,

00:28:36.080 I would say,

00:28:36.580 yeah, of

00:28:36.940 course, deport

00:28:37.700 everybody.

00:28:38.900 Absolutely.

00:28:40.240 But once it

00:28:40.880 becomes personal,

00:28:42.600 well, it's

00:28:43.740 harder.

00:28:44.000 All right.

00:28:49.200 Then the

00:28:49.940 fifth thing

00:28:50.460 from Axios

00:28:51.120 is that

00:28:51.820 Democratic

00:28:52.900 enthusiasm to

00:28:54.300 go vote in

00:28:54.840 the midterms

00:28:55.360 is much

00:28:56.160 higher than

00:28:57.000 Republican

00:28:58.060 enthusiasm.

00:29:01.140 But I

00:29:02.060 wonder if

00:29:02.880 that's

00:29:03.400 something you

00:29:03.960 can measure

00:29:04.540 yet.

00:29:05.960 Because when

00:29:06.740 the midterms

00:29:07.360 get close,

00:29:08.420 Trump is

00:29:08.860 going to get

00:29:09.320 really active.

00:29:10.080 and even

00:29:11.700 though he's

00:29:12.100 not in

00:29:12.560 that election,

00:29:13.840 he's going

00:29:14.260 to make

00:29:14.540 sure you

00:29:15.020 think it's

00:29:15.560 the end

00:29:15.860 of the

00:29:16.100 world if

00:29:16.540 you don't

00:29:16.840 vote.

00:29:17.860 So I

00:29:18.580 would kind

00:29:19.700 of suspect

00:29:20.520 that Republican

00:29:22.280 enthusiasm for

00:29:24.540 voting might be

00:29:25.240 a lot higher

00:29:25.780 once we get

00:29:26.800 there.

00:29:27.820 But also, I

00:29:28.980 don't know that

00:29:29.620 Republicans need

00:29:30.600 enthusiasm to

00:29:31.740 vote.

00:29:34.120 Democrats

00:29:34.680 might.

00:29:35.600 They might

00:29:36.020 need to get

00:29:36.580 whipped up to

00:29:37.260 vote.

00:29:37.880 But I feel

00:29:38.420 like Republicans

00:29:39.500 vote because

00:29:40.580 it's civic

00:29:41.460 duty.

00:29:44.440 And, you

00:29:45.280 know, there's

00:29:45.520 stuff you

00:29:45.880 want.

00:29:47.140 So I

00:29:47.960 don't know.

00:29:48.380 I don't

00:29:48.640 know if

00:29:48.920 enthusiasm

00:29:49.640 really tells

00:29:50.560 you what

00:29:50.960 Republicans are

00:29:51.800 going to

00:29:52.080 do.

00:29:53.000 I just

00:29:53.420 have an

00:29:53.760 open question

00:29:54.580 on that.

00:29:57.920 According to

00:29:58.800 Mike Benz,

00:30:01.060 I guess the

00:30:01.980 National Endowment

00:30:02.980 for Democracy,

00:30:04.820 better known as

00:30:05.980 NED,

00:30:07.220 got fully

00:30:08.020 funded by

00:30:08.960 the House

00:30:09.320 Republicans.

00:30:11.900 Trump had

00:30:12.720 asked for

00:30:13.120 that to

00:30:13.380 be zero

00:30:13.900 doubt and

00:30:14.720 the entire

00:30:15.260 National Endowment

00:30:16.140 for Democracy

00:30:17.020 to be

00:30:17.920 eliminated.

00:30:19.120 Now, I

00:30:20.160 can't explain

00:30:21.380 this story as

00:30:23.420 much as

00:30:23.960 Mike Benz

00:30:24.920 could.

00:30:25.860 So let me

00:30:26.380 say, if you're

00:30:26.820 not following

00:30:27.380 Mike Benz,

00:30:28.620 you probably

00:30:29.220 are just

00:30:29.580 flying blind

00:30:30.480 trying to

00:30:31.540 understand why

00:30:32.260 everything is

00:30:32.940 the way it

00:30:33.340 is.

00:30:34.180 You really

00:30:34.760 need to

00:30:35.140 follow him.

00:30:35.640 it's

00:30:36.900 completely

00:30:37.440 spin your

00:30:40.260 brain around

00:30:40.820 in your

00:30:41.400 head.

00:30:41.960 But I

00:30:42.180 think the

00:30:42.540 bottom line

00:30:43.160 is that

00:30:43.860 National

00:30:44.600 Endowment

00:30:45.300 for Democracy

00:30:46.160 may have

00:30:47.780 been something

00:30:48.560 that the

00:30:49.940 CIA uses

00:30:51.040 to further

00:30:51.820 its goals.

00:30:53.460 And maybe

00:30:53.800 that's the

00:30:54.180 reason they're

00:30:54.580 keeping it.

00:30:55.380 I don't know.

00:30:56.600 So I can't

00:30:58.040 give you the

00:30:58.580 full story.

00:30:59.720 I'll refer

00:31:00.220 you to Benz

00:31:01.680 on that.

00:31:05.580 So Trump

00:31:06.660 is now

00:31:07.200 suggesting that

00:31:08.380 the Democrats

00:31:09.340 might have

00:31:09.860 planted some

00:31:11.220 names in

00:31:11.860 the Epstein

00:31:12.300 files.

00:31:13.680 He said

00:31:14.060 those files

00:31:14.840 were run

00:31:15.420 by the 1.00

00:31:15.780 worst scum 1.00

00:31:16.660 on earth. 1.00

00:31:17.860 That's when

00:31:18.560 Biden was

00:31:19.140 in control.

00:31:20.120 The whole

00:31:20.460 thing is a

00:31:20.960 hoax.

00:31:21.540 They ran

00:31:22.160 the files.

00:31:23.140 I was

00:31:23.520 running against

00:31:24.180 somebody that

00:31:25.120 ran the

00:31:25.560 files.

00:31:26.040 If they

00:31:26.380 had something,

00:31:27.560 something bad

00:31:28.500 for Trump,

00:31:29.500 they would

00:31:30.560 have released.

00:31:31.680 I think

00:31:32.020 that's

00:31:32.320 true.

00:31:33.980 He says

00:31:34.840 now they

00:31:35.860 can easily

00:31:36.500 put something

00:31:37.180 in the

00:31:37.700 files that's

00:31:38.860 phony.

00:31:40.420 Well, to

00:31:41.280 me, it

00:31:41.660 seems like

00:31:42.160 he's

00:31:42.460 inoculating

00:31:43.220 us just

00:31:44.440 in case

00:31:44.940 there's

00:31:45.220 something in

00:31:45.720 there that

00:31:46.080 doesn't look

00:31:46.600 good for

00:31:46.960 Trump.

00:31:48.280 And my

00:31:48.700 guess is

00:31:49.300 apparently he's

00:31:49.900 mentioned a

00:31:50.500 bunch of

00:31:50.840 times but

00:31:51.420 never went

00:31:51.860 to the

00:31:52.120 island.

00:31:53.060 There's no

00:31:53.700 direct evidence

00:31:55.000 that he was

00:31:55.400 involved in

00:31:55.940 anything illegal

00:31:56.880 or unethical

00:31:58.440 with Epstein.

00:32:01.680 But there

00:32:04.020 might be

00:32:04.540 something in

00:32:06.260 there that

00:32:06.500 he doesn't

00:32:06.900 know about.

00:32:07.820 So he's

00:32:08.180 just inoculating

00:32:09.060 us by saying

00:32:09.700 but you

00:32:10.060 know, they

00:32:11.360 could put

00:32:11.740 fake stuff

00:32:12.400 in there.

00:32:14.420 All right.

00:32:29.700 than you

00:32:30.020 think.

00:32:32.280 Apparently

00:32:32.920 the CIA

00:32:35.180 person who

00:32:38.240 put together

00:32:39.020 the Russian

00:32:39.580 report about

00:32:41.280 the Steele

00:32:42.380 dossier,

00:32:44.020 or did

00:32:45.100 she just 0.65

00:32:45.440 put together

00:32:45.960 a Russian

00:32:46.400 report?

00:32:48.080 She led

00:32:48.980 the team

00:32:49.560 that created

00:32:50.880 the draft

00:32:51.560 intel community

00:32:52.500 assessment on

00:32:53.380 Russian meddling

00:32:54.200 in 2016.

00:32:55.840 And she's

00:32:56.880 still all in

00:32:57.800 and she

00:32:58.760 still embraces

00:32:59.740 the Steele

00:33:00.300 dossier.

00:33:01.800 And in

00:33:02.640 her social

00:33:03.180 media

00:33:03.660 of the past,

00:33:05.180 she's referred

00:33:05.860 to Trump

00:33:06.380 as a

00:33:06.720 dictator

00:33:07.220 and

00:33:08.360 mega as

00:33:09.920 Nazis.

00:33:11.200 So that's

00:33:12.420 who was

00:33:12.800 giving you

00:33:13.320 your objective

00:33:15.540 assessment of

00:33:17.380 Russia.

00:33:18.240 Someone who

00:33:19.140 thought Trump

00:33:20.300 was Hitler. 0.87

00:33:20.860 and apparently

00:33:24.900 she's now

00:33:25.760 doing some

00:33:26.260 interviews.

00:33:28.800 Susan Miller,

00:33:29.800 recently retired

00:33:30.740 CIA

00:33:31.620 counterintelligence

00:33:32.700 officer.

00:33:34.680 So she was

00:33:35.880 tight with

00:33:36.460 Brennan, I

00:33:37.100 guess,

00:33:37.740 putting that

00:33:38.180 stuff together.

00:33:40.380 And

00:33:41.060 apparently

00:33:43.540 Susan Miller,

00:33:45.360 the CIA

00:33:46.020 person,

00:33:46.660 according to

00:33:48.380 Paul Sperry,

00:33:50.100 is best

00:33:51.100 friends with

00:33:51.840 Caroline Kennedy

00:33:52.880 and she

00:33:55.120 also helped

00:33:55.760 write the

00:33:56.220 Mueller report.

00:33:59.360 Unbelievable.

00:34:01.160 So again,

00:34:02.380 I say,

00:34:03.700 it's so

00:34:04.200 obvious

00:34:04.800 that this

00:34:06.400 was a coup

00:34:07.300 attempt.

00:34:08.580 Somebody needs

00:34:09.500 to get

00:34:09.800 arrested.

00:34:11.200 They really,

00:34:11.900 really do.

00:34:12.300 Well,

00:34:15.100 Trump says

00:34:15.800 he's now

00:34:16.340 shortening

00:34:16.900 the time

00:34:17.440 he's given

00:34:17.920 to Vladimir

00:34:18.720 Putin.

00:34:19.920 He's given

00:34:20.480 him 50

00:34:21.560 days,

00:34:22.240 some of

00:34:22.600 those days

00:34:23.200 that expired,

00:34:24.260 but he's

00:34:24.560 now reducing

00:34:25.120 it to 10

00:34:25.680 to 12

00:34:26.060 days to

00:34:27.260 reach a

00:34:27.700 ceasefire

00:34:28.200 with Ukraine

00:34:28.840 because Trump

00:34:29.900 says we

00:34:30.380 just don't

00:34:30.840 see any

00:34:31.300 progress

00:34:31.820 being made.

00:34:36.140 And then

00:34:37.060 he's talking

00:34:37.940 about how

00:34:38.700 if there's

00:34:39.500 no progress

00:34:40.120 made in

00:34:40.800 10 or

00:34:41.380 12 days,

00:34:42.300 that they'd

00:34:43.780 put these

00:34:44.240 gigantic

00:34:44.760 secondary

00:34:45.580 tariffs on

00:34:46.400 them.

00:34:47.280 So the

00:34:47.660 secondary

00:34:48.240 tariff is

00:34:49.400 a tariff

00:34:49.860 on people

00:34:50.400 who are

00:34:50.840 doing business

00:34:51.620 with Russia

00:34:53.040 because we've

00:34:54.180 already tariffed

00:34:55.040 Russia directly,

00:34:55.880 I guess.

00:34:56.640 So there's

00:34:57.200 nothing left

00:34:57.840 to tariff.

00:34:59.400 So what

00:35:01.100 if the

00:35:02.020 12 days

00:35:02.680 go by

00:35:03.300 and then

00:35:04.680 what if

00:35:05.200 Trump does

00:35:06.140 in fact

00:35:06.600 put in

00:35:07.060 these

00:35:07.320 secondary

00:35:07.780 tariffs?

00:35:08.480 So it

00:35:08.680 would be

00:35:08.840 kind of

00:35:09.260 devastating.

00:35:10.420 But what

00:35:11.020 if they

00:35:11.280 don't work?

00:35:12.300 What then?

00:35:15.600 What then?

00:35:17.440 Because do

00:35:18.660 you think

00:35:19.060 that Russia 0.72

00:35:19.540 is going

00:35:20.000 to cave

00:35:20.700 because of

00:35:21.320 the secondary

00:35:21.960 tariffs?

00:35:22.880 Or is it

00:35:23.640 more likely

00:35:24.200 they'll just

00:35:24.740 find ways

00:35:25.360 to avoid

00:35:26.300 being detected

00:35:27.280 and they'll

00:35:28.260 do as much

00:35:28.820 trading as

00:35:29.420 they always

00:35:29.780 did?

00:35:30.080 Or maybe

00:35:31.400 China will 0.99

00:35:32.260 say we're

00:35:35.020 going to

00:35:35.420 tariff you

00:35:36.000 if you

00:35:36.400 tariff us

00:35:37.080 500%.

00:35:38.420 So I

00:35:40.180 don't feel

00:35:40.820 like there's

00:35:41.380 really a

00:35:41.820 path to

00:35:42.440 a solution.

00:35:45.060 But he

00:35:45.760 might be

00:35:46.200 monetizing

00:35:46.820 it.

00:35:47.740 It might

00:35:48.440 be that

00:35:48.760 that's all

00:35:49.180 it is.

00:35:49.540 He's just

00:35:49.880 monetizing

00:35:50.460 the war

00:35:50.920 the second

00:35:51.760 way.

00:35:52.380 Because he's

00:35:52.900 already

00:35:53.140 monetized

00:35:53.780 it by

00:35:54.200 not providing

00:35:56.020 money to

00:35:56.580 Ukraine but

00:35:57.240 only selling

00:35:57.920 weapons to

00:35:58.600 Europe to

00:35:59.060 give to

00:35:59.360 Ukraine.

00:36:00.220 So he's

00:36:00.580 monetized

00:36:01.120 it one

00:36:01.480 way.

00:36:01.740 if he

00:36:02.780 monetizes

00:36:03.400 it with

00:36:03.840 these

00:36:04.060 secondary

00:36:04.520 tariffs he's

00:36:06.280 monetized it

00:36:07.040 a second

00:36:07.500 way.

00:36:09.000 But there's

00:36:09.580 no real

00:36:10.080 chance that

00:36:11.080 that's going

00:36:11.520 to settle

00:36:11.940 anything.

00:36:13.460 Right?

00:36:15.060 Meanwhile

00:36:15.660 in a related

00:36:16.380 story Russia

00:36:18.500 is testing

00:36:19.420 a remote

00:36:21.380 controlled

00:36:22.020 tank.

00:36:24.180 And it's

00:36:24.700 a tank

00:36:25.100 that's

00:36:25.440 hardened

00:36:25.860 against

00:36:26.460 drones

00:36:27.860 bombing

00:36:28.620 etc.

00:36:30.080 So remember

00:36:31.100 my prediction

00:36:32.020 that the

00:36:33.760 Ukraine

00:36:34.380 Russia war

00:36:35.400 at least

00:36:35.880 the front

00:36:36.340 line will

00:36:37.460 turn into

00:36:37.940 an all

00:36:38.420 robot war.

00:36:40.220 So now

00:36:40.700 Russia will 0.98

00:36:41.780 be able to

00:36:42.480 have a

00:36:43.180 tank brigade

00:36:45.100 I don't know

00:36:45.940 if I'm using

00:36:46.400 that word

00:36:46.780 right but a

00:36:47.640 bunch of

00:36:48.020 tanks that

00:36:49.580 can attack

00:36:50.140 a position

00:36:50.700 and there

00:36:52.240 won't be a

00:36:52.640 single person

00:36:53.300 in the

00:36:53.620 tanks.

00:36:54.960 And they'll

00:36:55.180 just be

00:36:55.560 fully functional

00:36:56.320 tanks.

00:36:57.980 So yeah

00:37:00.100 it's going to

00:37:00.640 be robot

00:37:01.660 on robot.

00:37:04.660 You may be

00:37:05.740 following the

00:37:06.320 story in

00:37:06.960 Gaza in

00:37:08.520 which a

00:37:09.760 lot of

00:37:10.020 people are

00:37:10.400 saying that

00:37:10.920 there's a

00:37:11.660 famine there

00:37:12.620 that the

00:37:13.520 poor

00:37:15.380 citizens who

00:37:16.900 are still in

00:37:17.400 that area

00:37:17.900 are having

00:37:19.340 some starvation

00:37:20.200 there were

00:37:20.660 reports of

00:37:21.200 people dying

00:37:21.780 of starvation

00:37:22.480 but I remind

00:37:23.600 you that all

00:37:24.380 information coming

00:37:25.340 out of the

00:37:25.700 war zone

00:37:26.200 is unreliable.

00:37:28.560 It doesn't

00:37:28.820 matter who's

00:37:29.280 saying it.

00:37:30.220 It doesn't

00:37:30.640 matter if

00:37:31.000 it's Israel

00:37:31.560 or Israel's

00:37:32.820 enemy.

00:37:34.140 You can't

00:37:34.920 really believe

00:37:35.600 anything that

00:37:36.260 comes out of

00:37:36.700 the war zone

00:37:37.200 especially on

00:37:38.680 stuff like

00:37:39.200 this.

00:37:40.200 However

00:37:40.700 when Trump

00:37:42.300 was asked

00:37:42.800 about it

00:37:43.280 he said

00:37:45.300 there's no

00:37:46.960 way that

00:37:47.340 that's a

00:37:47.820 fake

00:37:48.360 because he's

00:37:49.820 seeing the

00:37:50.500 actual children

00:37:51.620 on TV

00:37:52.400 and he goes

00:37:53.340 they're hungry.

00:37:53.960 he goes

00:37:55.140 you can't

00:37:55.860 fake starvation

00:37:57.000 and I

00:37:58.380 think Trump

00:37:58.860 is right

00:37:59.220 about that.

00:38:00.440 So if

00:38:01.060 he's looking

00:38:01.560 at the

00:38:01.860 images of

00:38:02.540 the actual

00:38:03.020 citizens and

00:38:03.940 they look

00:38:04.300 like they're

00:38:04.760 starving

00:38:05.180 that's not

00:38:07.540 something you'd

00:38:08.140 be wrong

00:38:08.500 about.

00:38:10.080 So my

00:38:11.120 guess is

00:38:12.380 that while

00:38:14.400 Israel might 0.96

00:38:15.120 be trying as

00:38:15.880 hard as they

00:38:16.340 can to avoid

00:38:17.040 it there's

00:38:18.260 probably some

00:38:18.800 starvation

00:38:19.360 happening.

00:38:19.720 that's a

00:38:23.080 lie Scott

00:38:23.820 we all

00:38:24.300 know it's

00:38:24.720 happening.

00:38:26.340 Yeah so

00:38:27.220 anyway so

00:38:28.800 the I

00:38:30.900 think as

00:38:31.840 soon as you

00:38:32.380 say we all

00:38:33.140 know that

00:38:33.600 something's

00:38:34.060 happening then

00:38:35.460 you're not a

00:38:36.060 serious person

00:38:37.000 because you

00:38:38.360 can't really

00:38:38.860 know too

00:38:39.540 much about

00:38:40.120 what's happening

00:38:40.680 over there

00:38:41.140 even if you

00:38:42.180 think it's

00:38:42.540 really obvious

00:38:43.220 probably we

00:38:44.720 don't.

00:38:48.080 But there's

00:38:49.120 more on

00:38:49.540 this topic

00:38:50.160 apparently

00:38:52.540 and then

00:38:53.280 Trump quite

00:38:54.600 reasonably is

00:38:55.480 talking about

00:38:56.120 the need to

00:38:56.700 feed the

00:38:57.240 people so

00:38:59.420 that's the

00:39:00.360 right focus.

00:39:01.520 I like it

00:39:01.920 when he does

00:39:02.380 that.

00:39:03.440 Trump gave

00:39:04.400 Keir Starmer

00:39:06.100 of the UK

00:39:07.360 what the

00:39:09.220 Independent is

00:39:10.000 calling a

00:39:10.500 green light

00:39:11.180 to recognize

00:39:12.380 the Palestinian

00:39:13.140 state.

00:39:13.920 You probably

00:39:14.280 heard that

00:39:15.620 France decided

00:39:16.880 to recognize

00:39:18.000 Palestinian

00:39:20.760 state or

00:39:21.540 promote a

00:39:22.340 two-state

00:39:22.720 solution I

00:39:23.440 guess.

00:39:24.280 So now

00:39:24.760 Starmer wants

00:39:25.760 to do that.

00:39:26.800 It's not a

00:39:27.380 done deal but

00:39:28.720 he checked

00:39:29.460 with Trump

00:39:30.140 and Trump

00:39:30.680 said you

00:39:31.980 could do

00:39:32.300 that.

00:39:33.300 Now that's

00:39:34.220 interesting to

00:39:35.160 me because I

00:39:35.920 don't remember

00:39:36.740 Trump ever

00:39:37.540 saying he

00:39:38.960 favored or

00:39:39.660 did not

00:39:40.080 favor a

00:39:40.600 two-state

00:39:41.100 solution which

00:39:42.820 is weird that

00:39:43.860 I don't know

00:39:44.340 that because

00:39:46.460 that would be

00:39:46.800 the most

00:39:47.160 important thing

00:39:47.760 to know

00:39:48.140 right?

00:39:48.880 Does anybody

00:39:49.320 know?

00:39:50.320 Has Trump

00:39:51.040 said anything

00:39:51.760 recently about

00:39:53.800 a two-state

00:39:54.660 solution versus

00:39:55.560 a one-state

00:39:56.340 solution?

00:39:58.180 I don't know.

00:40:01.020 However, in

00:40:02.020 my opinion it

00:40:02.760 doesn't matter

00:40:03.220 what anybody

00:40:03.720 else wants

00:40:04.300 because Israel

00:40:05.400 is the only

00:40:05.840 one that's

00:40:06.260 going to

00:40:06.520 decide and

00:40:07.400 I don't think

00:40:08.240 that they're

00:40:08.800 anywhere near

00:40:09.700 wanting a

00:40:11.060 two-state

00:40:11.560 solution.

00:40:12.980 So we'll

00:40:14.680 see how many

00:40:15.260 people line

00:40:15.940 up against

00:40:17.540 Israel's 0.75

00:40:18.400 one-state

00:40:19.100 solution and

00:40:20.220 it might be

00:40:20.700 the United

00:40:21.120 States.

00:40:22.100 It's entirely

00:40:22.740 possible that

00:40:24.700 Trump has

00:40:25.420 the capital.

00:40:29.940 I hope you

00:40:31.240 can't hear my

00:40:31.880 cat with this

00:40:33.140 cat toy over

00:40:33.920 there.

00:40:35.420 Trump has the

00:40:36.460 political capital

00:40:37.680 to say,

00:40:39.420 you know what,

00:40:39.900 you really need

00:40:40.600 to make a

00:40:41.000 two-state

00:40:41.440 solution.

00:40:42.660 Now I'm not

00:40:43.140 saying I'm in

00:40:43.740 favor of that

00:40:44.300 or that's a

00:40:44.860 good idea.

00:40:46.980 What I say

00:40:47.880 is I'm

00:40:49.500 American so 0.91

00:40:50.600 they just

00:40:51.080 need to

00:40:51.420 work it

00:40:52.060 out and

00:40:53.320 I will

00:40:55.020 just observe.

00:40:56.140 I will not

00:40:56.580 condemn and

00:40:57.600 I will not

00:40:58.100 recommend.

00:41:02.440 Trump does

00:41:03.300 say he

00:41:03.880 wants Netanyahu

00:41:05.320 to quote

00:41:06.200 soften his

00:41:06.960 tactics in

00:41:07.840 Gaza.

00:41:08.780 He may have

00:41:09.300 to do it a

00:41:09.820 different way.

00:41:11.040 We don't

00:41:11.560 know what that

00:41:11.980 different way

00:41:12.460 would look

00:41:12.800 like, but

00:41:14.940 here's the

00:41:17.600 big question.

00:41:18.360 I'm going to

00:41:18.680 teach you

00:41:19.300 something about

00:41:20.160 debate today.

00:41:22.340 You may have

00:41:23.140 heard me say

00:41:23.660 this before,

00:41:24.640 but if

00:41:25.220 somebody tries

00:41:25.960 to win a

00:41:26.540 debate by

00:41:27.880 forcing you

00:41:28.660 to accept

00:41:29.300 their definition

00:41:30.300 of a word,

00:41:32.000 that's not a

00:41:32.640 debate.

00:41:34.280 That's not a

00:41:35.180 reason.

00:41:36.460 That's somebody

00:41:37.040 trying to

00:41:37.660 weasel you

00:41:38.360 into winning

00:41:38.920 a debate by

00:41:40.640 getting you

00:41:41.120 to accept

00:41:41.620 their own

00:41:42.760 definition of

00:41:43.720 a word.

00:41:45.300 For example,

00:41:46.920 with abortion,

00:41:50.220 if you say

00:41:51.620 that's a

00:41:52.260 living human

00:41:53.040 person as

00:41:53.760 soon as

00:41:54.260 the body

00:41:57.540 produces

00:41:58.120 whatever the

00:41:59.020 fetus is,

00:42:00.080 if you say

00:42:01.120 it's a person,

00:42:02.380 then it sounds

00:42:03.000 like murder

00:42:03.780 if you do

00:42:04.340 an abortion.

00:42:04.740 if you say

00:42:05.980 it's a fetus,

00:42:07.380 then it

00:42:09.320 doesn't sound

00:42:09.780 so much like

00:42:10.360 murder.

00:42:11.300 So with a

00:42:12.080 lot of our

00:42:12.660 debates,

00:42:13.540 we try to

00:42:14.420 win the

00:42:14.840 debate by

00:42:16.140 insisting that

00:42:17.160 somebody accept

00:42:17.920 our definition

00:42:18.760 of something.

00:42:20.540 For example,

00:42:21.780 in the

00:42:22.460 pandemic,

00:42:25.760 if I say

00:42:26.520 to you,

00:42:27.320 the experts

00:42:28.440 have created

00:42:29.120 a kind of

00:42:30.820 a shot

00:42:31.320 that can help

00:42:32.380 you in

00:42:32.740 various ways,

00:42:33.460 but you

00:42:35.420 say,

00:42:36.700 no,

00:42:37.300 it's an

00:42:37.740 experimental

00:42:38.420 shot.

00:42:39.920 If you

00:42:40.660 could make

00:42:41.100 me accept

00:42:41.760 that it's

00:42:42.360 experimental,

00:42:43.780 then you've

00:42:45.000 won the

00:42:45.360 argument.

00:42:46.840 There's

00:42:47.440 nothing else

00:42:47.960 to say.

00:42:49.400 So here

00:42:50.760 again with

00:42:51.740 Israel,

00:42:54.040 the word

00:42:54.580 genocide

00:42:55.080 is becoming

00:42:56.720 the debate.

00:42:58.460 So if

00:42:59.740 you could

00:43:00.220 get the

00:43:01.580 people who

00:43:02.060 disagree with

00:43:02.760 you,

00:43:02.960 to accept

00:43:04.380 the definition

00:43:05.680 of genocide

00:43:06.380 that you

00:43:07.200 want to

00:43:07.560 push forward,

00:43:08.660 and you

00:43:08.980 could say

00:43:09.440 Israel is

00:43:10.900 involved in

00:43:11.440 genocide.

00:43:12.840 But if

00:43:13.720 somebody else

00:43:15.600 can get you

00:43:16.180 a definition

00:43:16.780 that doesn't

00:43:17.640 say that,

00:43:19.220 then they

00:43:19.680 can win

00:43:20.680 their argument

00:43:21.240 just by

00:43:22.240 definitions

00:43:22.820 again.

00:43:23.920 So I

00:43:25.020 went to

00:43:25.640 Brock

00:43:27.140 and asked

00:43:28.440 it to

00:43:29.160 define

00:43:29.640 genocide,

00:43:30.220 because I

00:43:31.300 was pretty

00:43:31.780 sure I

00:43:32.380 didn't know

00:43:32.740 exactly the

00:43:33.500 definition.

00:43:35.780 So let

00:43:36.360 me tell you

00:43:36.780 what

00:43:37.060 Grok says

00:43:39.180 is genocide,

00:43:40.560 and then you

00:43:41.180 can say,

00:43:41.820 is that

00:43:42.300 happening over

00:43:43.460 in Gaza?

00:43:43.920 So it

00:43:45.280 would include 0.99

00:43:45.800 killing 1.00

00:43:46.280 members of 0.99

00:43:47.000 the group,

00:43:48.340 but that's

00:43:49.980 not by

00:43:50.780 itself.

00:43:51.440 That wouldn't

00:43:51.940 be enough

00:43:52.340 by itself,

00:43:53.020 because there's

00:43:53.480 lots of

00:43:53.880 wars where

00:43:55.140 people are

00:43:55.620 killing members

00:43:56.420 of the 0.98

00:43:56.740 other group,

00:43:57.340 but those

00:43:58.260 wars are not

00:43:59.000 all genocide.

00:44:00.720 So that

00:44:02.400 would be an

00:44:02.820 indicator,

00:44:03.480 but it

00:44:04.040 wouldn't be

00:44:04.380 enough by

00:44:04.820 itself.

00:44:05.900 Causing

00:44:06.460 serious bodily

00:44:07.460 or mental

00:44:07.940 harm,

00:44:08.540 that would

00:44:08.860 be in the

00:44:09.640 same category

00:44:10.340 of causing

00:44:11.620 harm to

00:44:12.060 people.

00:44:13.000 Inflicting

00:44:13.420 conditions to

00:44:14.500 bring about

00:44:14.960 physical

00:44:15.760 destruction.

00:44:17.580 Is that

00:44:18.360 happening in

00:44:19.080 Gaza? 0.52

00:44:20.240 Is Israel 0.87

00:44:20.980 inflicting

00:44:21.660 conditions to

00:44:22.720 bring about

00:44:23.260 physical

00:44:23.880 destruction?

00:44:25.560 Yes.

00:44:26.700 Yes, they

00:44:27.300 are.

00:44:27.980 But that

00:44:28.340 doesn't mean

00:44:28.720 it's genocide.

00:44:30.200 We're going

00:44:31.100 to look at

00:44:31.420 all the

00:44:31.980 definition

00:44:32.420 before we

00:44:33.020 decide.

00:44:33.880 Claudia was

00:44:34.720 leaving for

00:44:35.140 her pickleball

00:44:35.740 tournament.

00:44:36.300 I've been

00:44:36.540 visualizing my

00:44:37.340 match all

00:44:37.980 week.

00:44:38.880 She was so

00:44:39.380 focused on

00:44:39.880 visualizing

00:44:40.480 that she

00:44:40.920 didn't see

00:44:41.380 the column

00:44:41.760 behind her

00:44:42.220 car on

00:44:42.820 her back

00:44:43.160 hand side.

00:44:45.080 Good thing

00:44:45.480 Claudia is

00:44:45.920 with Intact,

00:44:46.740 the insurer

00:44:47.280 with the

00:44:47.720 largest network

00:44:48.420 of auto

00:44:48.800 service centers

00:44:49.400 in the

00:44:49.840 country.

00:44:50.500 Everything

00:44:50.800 was taken

00:44:51.260 care of

00:44:51.680 under one

00:44:52.140 roof and

00:44:52.660 she was

00:44:52.960 on her

00:44:53.200 way in

00:44:53.460 a rental

00:44:53.760 car in

00:44:54.320 no time.

00:44:54.960 I made

00:44:55.460 it to my

00:44:55.880 tournament and

00:44:57.180 lost in

00:44:57.500 the first

00:44:57.800 round.

00:44:58.440 But you

00:44:59.020 got there

00:44:59.460 on time.

00:45:00.280 Intact

00:45:00.600 Insurance,

00:45:01.440 your auto

00:45:01.840 service ace.

00:45:02.900 Certain

00:45:03.060 conditions

00:45:03.440 apply.

00:45:05.460 What about

00:45:06.240 preventing

00:45:06.820 births within

00:45:08.120 the group

00:45:08.800 that's being

00:45:09.280 targeted?

00:45:10.500 Well,

00:45:10.980 there's no

00:45:11.420 evidence that

00:45:12.340 Israel is

00:45:13.900 intentionally

00:45:14.840 preventing

00:45:15.600 births,

00:45:16.620 but I

00:45:17.660 would guess

00:45:18.100 there are

00:45:18.400 fewer of

00:45:18.980 them under

00:45:19.780 the current

00:45:20.180 situations.

00:45:21.060 I don't

00:45:21.180 know.

00:45:21.420 It could be

00:45:21.700 wrong.

00:45:21.960 It might go

00:45:22.280 the other

00:45:22.560 way.

00:45:22.800 But again,

00:45:25.540 these are

00:45:26.180 not, you

00:45:26.720 must have

00:45:27.240 checked all

00:45:28.180 the boxes.

00:45:29.160 So it's

00:45:29.500 not an

00:45:29.900 every box

00:45:30.560 situation.

00:45:32.000 And then

00:45:32.640 forcibly

00:45:33.260 transferring

00:45:33.940 children to

00:45:34.820 another group.

00:45:37.900 There may be

00:45:38.900 some of

00:45:39.420 that for

00:45:40.680 orphans, but

00:45:42.440 it doesn't

00:45:43.040 seem like

00:45:43.420 that's a

00:45:44.640 major element

00:45:45.460 that's going

00:45:45.880 on.

00:45:46.120 And then

00:45:47.160 here's the

00:45:47.600 important part.

00:45:48.580 For something

00:45:49.800 to be legally

00:45:50.940 categorized as

00:45:52.200 genocide,

00:45:53.600 listen to this

00:45:54.520 part.

00:45:54.860 This is the

00:45:55.280 most important

00:45:55.800 part.

00:45:56.540 You would

00:45:56.980 have to

00:45:57.460 prove intent.

00:45:58.740 So if

00:46:01.060 Israel's 0.75

00:46:01.820 intent is

00:46:03.140 self-defense

00:46:04.120 and all of

00:46:05.720 their documents

00:46:06.300 say that and

00:46:07.060 all their

00:46:07.340 public statements

00:46:08.040 say that and

00:46:09.420 you can't find

00:46:10.140 any counter to

00:46:11.020 that, it just

00:46:11.660 looks like this

00:46:13.060 is their

00:46:13.500 version of

00:46:14.320 what would

00:46:14.780 help their

00:46:15.360 self-defense.

00:46:16.420 If that's

00:46:17.240 true, it's

00:46:17.600 not genocide.

00:46:19.620 And as

00:46:20.500 far as I

00:46:20.980 know, there

00:46:21.420 has not

00:46:21.760 been any

00:46:22.480 statement or

00:46:24.200 leak or

00:46:24.900 whistleblower

00:46:25.620 who would

00:46:26.400 say, oh,

00:46:27.440 yeah, the

00:46:28.080 real

00:46:28.600 intention is

00:46:29.340 to, you 0.99

00:46:30.360 know, kill 1.00

00:46:30.900 as many of 1.00

00:46:31.520 the residents

00:46:33.300 of Gaza as

00:46:34.000 we can and

00:46:35.260 depopulate it.

00:46:36.500 I don't

00:46:36.960 believe you

00:46:37.420 would find

00:46:37.840 that.

00:46:38.700 If you

00:46:39.260 did and

00:46:40.600 it was

00:46:40.840 coming from

00:46:41.380 the top,

00:46:42.740 well, that

00:46:43.600 would be a

00:46:43.840 pretty good

00:46:44.240 argument that

00:46:44.880 it's genocide, 0.73

00:46:45.720 but I don't

00:46:46.120 believe we've

00:46:46.580 seen that.

00:46:50.500 And

00:46:50.980 experts are

00:46:52.200 split on

00:46:53.520 the question

00:46:53.980 of whether

00:46:54.340 scale makes

00:46:55.440 a difference.

00:46:56.660 So in

00:46:57.060 other words,

00:46:57.520 if it's a

00:46:57.900 big enough

00:46:58.420 killing, 0.99

00:47:00.960 then some 0.81

00:47:01.840 would say,

00:47:02.380 some experts

00:47:03.060 would say,

00:47:03.820 the size of

00:47:04.760 it alone

00:47:05.300 tells you

00:47:06.600 their intention

00:47:07.360 because nobody

00:47:10.120 accidentally kills

00:47:11.320 millions of

00:47:11.920 people of

00:47:13.160 the same

00:47:13.540 group.

00:47:14.620 Right?

00:47:14.760 So if it's

00:47:15.180 big enough,

00:47:16.180 you don't have

00:47:16.700 to ask

00:47:17.100 yourself,

00:47:17.620 well, is

00:47:18.020 there a

00:47:18.320 document that

00:47:19.020 says that you

00:47:19.620 intended to

00:47:20.300 do it?

00:47:20.700 Well, it's

00:47:21.540 so big.

00:47:23.440 Killing millions

00:47:24.240 of people, 0.99

00:47:24.780 obviously, you

00:47:25.380 intended it,

00:47:25.960 sort of like

00:47:26.700 the Holocaust. 0.58

00:47:28.420 You know,

00:47:28.720 you don't have

00:47:29.280 to ask,

00:47:30.400 well, could

00:47:31.180 you give us

00:47:31.660 some more

00:47:31.960 thinking about

00:47:32.920 that Holocaust 0.99

00:47:33.620 situation?

00:47:34.280 What were

00:47:34.560 they thinking?

00:47:36.260 You could

00:47:36.840 talk about

00:47:37.300 that all day

00:47:37.840 long, but

00:47:38.260 the scale

00:47:38.940 of it is

00:47:41.140 enough to

00:47:41.560 say it was

00:47:41.880 a genocide.

00:47:42.980 You don't

00:47:43.600 need to know

00:47:44.100 too much about

00:47:44.780 their inner

00:47:45.160 thoughts.

00:47:45.600 So it's

00:47:48.280 subjective.

00:47:50.320 And I'm

00:47:52.840 not going

00:47:53.340 to make a

00:47:53.980 determination

00:47:54.660 about whether

00:47:55.660 that's genocide 0.50

00:47:56.500 or not.

00:47:58.660 The closest

00:47:59.820 you could get

00:48:00.640 is that Israel

00:48:01.580 says they

00:48:02.140 want total

00:48:03.420 victory.

00:48:05.360 And I'm

00:48:07.040 wondering,

00:48:07.540 is that what

00:48:08.080 Germany and

00:48:09.240 Japan experienced?

00:48:11.860 Would you

00:48:12.600 say that

00:48:14.580 the U.S.

00:48:15.260 had a

00:48:17.740 genocide in

00:48:18.780 Japan at

00:48:19.640 the end of

00:48:20.020 World War II?

00:48:21.600 Or would

00:48:22.020 you say there

00:48:22.520 was a

00:48:22.880 genocide in

00:48:24.100 Germany after

00:48:25.700 Germany surrendered?

00:48:27.640 Because it

00:48:28.340 got pretty

00:48:28.820 ugly.

00:48:30.060 There was a 0.91

00:48:30.460 lot of

00:48:30.720 starvation in

00:48:31.480 Germany in

00:48:32.040 particular,

00:48:32.880 probably in

00:48:33.840 Japan.

00:48:36.340 So I'll

00:48:37.400 just say

00:48:37.840 this.

00:48:38.740 To me,

00:48:39.340 the Hamas

00:48:41.220 versus Israel 0.99

00:48:42.440 situation has

00:48:43.640 that weird

00:48:44.260 quality.

00:48:45.260 which is

00:48:46.320 that if

00:48:47.760 Israel were 0.93

00:48:49.200 not doing

00:48:49.780 what it's

00:48:50.200 doing and

00:48:50.820 Hamas got 0.95

00:48:51.540 its way,

00:48:52.740 they would

00:48:53.160 create a

00:48:53.760 genocide of 1.00

00:48:55.140 the Israelis. 0.94

00:48:56.940 So if

00:48:58.020 you're trying

00:48:58.380 to determine

00:48:58.920 if one

00:48:59.460 side is

00:48:59.900 doing a

00:49:00.280 genocide,

00:49:01.740 I feel

00:49:03.080 like it

00:49:03.400 matters,

00:49:03.880 like who

00:49:06.080 your target

00:49:06.680 group is.

00:49:07.600 If your

00:49:08.040 target group

00:49:08.680 is somebody

00:49:09.140 who you

00:49:10.460 could reasonably,

00:49:11.640 very reasonably

00:49:12.340 say, if

00:49:13.520 they had

00:49:13.900 the power,

00:49:15.080 they would

00:49:15.440 genocide us. 0.87

00:49:17.720 If Hamas 0.90

00:49:18.660 had the

00:49:19.000 power, would

00:49:19.560 they genocide

00:49:20.180 Israel? 0.53

00:49:21.540 It looks

00:49:22.300 like it,

00:49:23.400 right?

00:49:24.380 So if you

00:49:26.140 have two

00:49:26.900 entities that

00:49:28.400 appear like

00:49:29.160 they both

00:49:30.120 think their

00:49:30.540 only option

00:49:31.100 is to

00:49:31.520 genocide the

00:49:32.180 other one,

00:49:33.420 do you even

00:49:33.980 talk about

00:49:34.480 genocide?

00:49:34.840 it just

00:49:36.680 feels like

00:49:37.140 it's not

00:49:37.460 even the

00:49:37.780 right

00:49:37.940 conversation.

00:49:39.480 So it's

00:49:39.820 a very

00:49:40.020 special case

00:49:40.920 where you've

00:49:41.480 got such

00:49:42.360 extremism on

00:49:43.520 both sides.

00:49:44.040 It's not

00:49:44.300 like a war.

00:49:45.980 It's not

00:49:46.620 like a war

00:49:47.120 where someone

00:49:47.600 wants to

00:49:47.940 capture some

00:49:48.520 territory or

00:49:49.820 something like

00:49:50.380 that.

00:49:51.060 Like Ukraine. 0.61

00:49:52.040 Ukraine's a 1.00

00:49:52.540 war.

00:49:54.780 But whatever

00:49:55.580 is going on

00:49:56.280 in the Middle

00:49:56.960 East, you

00:49:59.400 got some

00:49:59.900 extremism there

00:50:01.060 that's not

00:50:01.540 like anything

00:50:02.180 else.

00:50:03.060 So I will

00:50:03.880 not give

00:50:04.320 you my

00:50:04.660 opinion of

00:50:05.260 whether

00:50:05.480 genocide is

00:50:06.240 happening

00:50:06.560 because that

00:50:07.340 would be

00:50:07.740 trying to

00:50:08.260 win an

00:50:08.660 argument with

00:50:09.880 a definition.

00:50:11.380 And the

00:50:11.660 definition has

00:50:12.420 enough squishiness 1.00

00:50:14.060 in it and

00:50:15.280 the situation

00:50:16.240 is unique

00:50:17.700 enough that

00:50:19.540 you're trying

00:50:20.680 to stop

00:50:21.200 somebody who

00:50:21.820 you think

00:50:22.680 would genocide

00:50:23.200 you if you 0.56

00:50:24.300 didn't stop

00:50:24.780 them.

00:50:25.980 So I would

00:50:27.620 just avoid

00:50:28.180 that word

00:50:29.140 altogether.

00:50:31.500 Trump reminds

00:50:32.500 us on

00:50:32.940 True Social

00:50:33.640 that he's

00:50:34.600 quote not

00:50:35.200 seeking a

00:50:36.020 summit with

00:50:37.040 Xi of

00:50:38.200 China.

00:50:39.440 Now

00:50:39.680 apparently there

00:50:41.020 was some

00:50:41.340 reporting that

00:50:42.160 says he was

00:50:42.780 seeking a

00:50:43.440 summit which

00:50:44.080 would make

00:50:44.440 him look

00:50:44.800 weak like

00:50:45.980 he's begging 0.99

00:50:46.600 Xi for a

00:50:47.380 meeting.

00:50:48.420 And Trump

00:50:49.140 says no he's

00:50:50.020 not seeking a

00:50:50.940 summit.

00:50:51.920 He would only

00:50:52.640 do that if

00:50:53.340 he's invited

00:50:53.940 which he has

00:50:54.660 been.

00:50:56.240 But he

00:50:56.860 wants you to

00:50:57.380 know it's

00:50:58.200 up to him

00:50:58.720 if they

00:50:59.420 meet.

00:51:00.420 It's not

00:51:00.900 that he's

00:51:01.260 begging Xi.

00:51:04.660 It's only a

00:51:05.500 few days

00:51:06.160 before Trump's

00:51:07.940 automatic

00:51:09.580 tariffs kick

00:51:11.240 in and that

00:51:12.420 would only

00:51:12.820 apply to

00:51:13.640 the

00:51:15.420 auto

00:51:15.660 I got a

00:51:17.540 little cat

00:51:17.980 situation going

00:51:18.820 on here.

00:51:20.300 Come here

00:51:20.560 Gary.

00:51:24.360 Come on.

00:51:26.860 Let go of

00:51:27.660 that cable.

00:51:30.260 All right.

00:51:31.180 Stop.

00:51:32.580 Stop.

00:51:33.240 Don't fight.

00:51:33.920 Say hi.

00:51:35.640 All right.

00:51:36.100 You can go

00:51:36.540 down.

00:51:37.920 All right.

00:51:38.420 So we don't

00:51:39.400 know what will

00:51:39.740 happen when that

00:51:40.440 happens but

00:51:41.080 we're hearing

00:51:42.840 lovely things

00:51:44.040 about the

00:51:44.700 European Union

00:51:45.500 deal that

00:51:46.020 Trump got

00:51:46.500 into.

00:51:47.500 Would you

00:51:47.980 believe that

00:51:48.660 people don't

00:51:49.240 agree about

00:51:49.880 whether it

00:51:50.280 was a good

00:51:50.780 deal?

00:51:51.560 So the

00:51:51.920 Europeans

00:51:52.440 think that

00:51:54.720 America got 0.81

00:51:55.420 everything and

00:51:56.200 that Trump

00:51:57.020 just rolled

00:51:57.760 Europe and

00:51:58.540 got everything.

00:52:03.340 And some

00:52:04.980 smart people

00:52:05.620 say that.

00:52:06.920 But here's

00:52:07.760 what the

00:52:08.460 deal includes.

00:52:09.960 The EU is

00:52:11.040 going to pay

00:52:11.460 a 15%

00:52:12.340 tariff on

00:52:13.060 everything.

00:52:14.040 We will

00:52:14.560 have no

00:52:14.940 tariffs.

00:52:16.220 So that

00:52:16.680 just looks

00:52:17.220 like America 0.94

00:52:17.800 winning.

00:52:18.840 The EU

00:52:19.380 agreed to

00:52:19.880 invest $600

00:52:20.700 billion in

00:52:21.360 the US

00:52:21.900 just because

00:52:23.820 Trump wanted

00:52:25.060 them to.

00:52:25.440 but apparently

00:52:27.180 that one's

00:52:28.340 not one that

00:52:30.360 will be

00:52:30.660 carefully

00:52:31.140 monitored.

00:52:32.500 So I feel

00:52:33.000 like that's

00:52:33.480 the honor

00:52:34.120 system that

00:52:35.100 they would

00:52:35.400 invest $600

00:52:37.500 billion in

00:52:38.160 the US.

00:52:39.080 So I

00:52:39.720 wouldn't hold

00:52:40.120 my breath

00:52:40.580 on that

00:52:40.860 one.

00:52:42.520 And that

00:52:43.160 the EU

00:52:43.660 will purchase

00:52:44.360 hundreds of

00:52:44.920 billions of

00:52:45.340 dollars of

00:52:45.840 American

00:52:46.180 military

00:52:46.660 equipment.

00:52:47.180 I feel

00:52:48.400 like maybe

00:52:48.840 that was

00:52:49.260 going to

00:52:49.520 happen

00:52:49.720 anyway.

00:52:50.680 And the

00:52:50.940 EU commits

00:52:51.620 to buying

00:52:52.280 a whole

00:52:52.700 bunch of

00:52:53.120 our LNG,

00:52:54.780 our gas,

00:52:56.280 even though

00:52:58.200 it's not

00:52:58.520 the cheapest

00:52:59.020 source for

00:53:01.020 energy.

00:53:04.300 Anyway,

00:53:05.120 in exchange

00:53:06.060 for what

00:53:07.360 are being

00:53:08.020 called

00:53:08.300 concessions,

00:53:09.900 the EU

00:53:10.620 would get

00:53:11.100 nothing.

00:53:12.360 Because

00:53:12.600 apparently

00:53:13.580 America did 0.96

00:53:14.580 not agree to

00:53:15.240 give them

00:53:15.560 anything.

00:53:16.720 It just

00:53:17.180 agreed what

00:53:17.860 we were

00:53:18.980 going to

00:53:19.260 take.

00:53:21.760 Well,

00:53:22.460 Schumer

00:53:22.760 says it's

00:53:23.440 a fake

00:53:23.960 deal because

00:53:25.680 some elements

00:53:26.960 of this are

00:53:27.440 non-binding.

00:53:29.420 So I

00:53:30.340 think the

00:53:30.920 commitments

00:53:31.640 to buy

00:53:32.360 energy and

00:53:33.020 weapons and

00:53:33.820 the invest

00:53:35.020 $600

00:53:35.400 billion,

00:53:36.860 maybe sort

00:53:38.120 of window

00:53:38.560 dressing that

00:53:39.580 Trump is

00:53:40.220 smart enough

00:53:40.780 to put on

00:53:41.220 this deal

00:53:41.740 because it

00:53:43.000 sounds like

00:53:43.440 more of a

00:53:43.900 win.

00:53:44.100 but Europe

00:53:45.660 may have

00:53:46.160 been

00:53:46.360 cleverly

00:53:47.080 understanding

00:53:47.900 that he

00:53:49.200 needs to

00:53:49.660 announce a

00:53:50.320 win,

00:53:51.120 but when

00:53:51.820 it comes

00:53:52.160 right down

00:53:52.560 to it,

00:53:52.920 maybe they

00:53:53.300 won't do

00:53:53.720 as much

00:53:54.160 of this

00:53:54.460 as they

00:53:54.820 say.

00:53:55.440 We'll

00:53:55.700 see.

00:53:56.360 It's

00:53:56.580 not

00:53:56.780 binding.

00:53:59.960 According

00:54:00.440 to the

00:54:00.880 Brussels

00:54:01.320 signal,

00:54:03.900 the tariff

00:54:05.260 deal in

00:54:05.700 Europe will

00:54:06.280 really hurt

00:54:06.900 the German

00:54:07.560 car makers.

00:54:08.260 So we're

00:54:10.200 adding a

00:54:10.720 tariff that

00:54:11.280 will jack

00:54:12.440 up the

00:54:12.760 cost of

00:54:13.180 a German

00:54:13.540 car in

00:54:13.940 the U.S.

00:54:15.140 And here

00:54:16.720 is my

00:54:17.140 take.

00:54:17.840 This might

00:54:18.480 be just

00:54:19.060 me, but

00:54:21.700 you probably

00:54:22.680 know that

00:54:23.100 I think one

00:54:24.120 of the best

00:54:24.580 selling cars

00:54:25.240 in the world

00:54:25.760 is the

00:54:26.320 Tesla Model

00:54:27.740 Y.

00:54:28.920 Is that

00:54:29.280 true?

00:54:30.060 I think it's

00:54:30.520 maybe one of

00:54:31.100 the top

00:54:31.440 selling cars.

00:54:32.460 But when I

00:54:32.960 think of what

00:54:34.060 competes with

00:54:35.140 Tesla, I

00:54:36.860 usually think

00:54:37.540 German cars.

00:54:39.620 Do you?

00:54:40.960 If you said

00:54:41.960 to yourself,

00:54:42.580 I'm thinking

00:54:43.080 of getting

00:54:43.480 one of the

00:54:44.160 more expensive

00:54:45.880 Teslas,

00:54:47.220 what would be

00:54:48.140 your second

00:54:48.780 choice for a

00:54:49.520 car?

00:54:51.240 Probably a

00:54:52.000 German car,

00:54:52.660 right?

00:54:53.100 Mercedes,

00:54:53.980 BMW,

00:54:55.640 what's the

00:54:57.540 other one?

00:54:59.800 And so it

00:55:00.880 makes me

00:55:01.340 wonder if

00:55:02.300 Tesla is

00:55:03.360 going to be

00:55:03.700 the big

00:55:04.040 winner.

00:55:05.140 if it

00:55:05.700 makes it

00:55:06.060 look like

00:55:06.440 the competing

00:55:07.260 cars are

00:55:09.280 going to be

00:55:09.580 more expensive.

00:55:13.940 So we'll

00:55:14.620 see.

00:55:15.260 Anyway,

00:55:16.160 Bill Maher

00:55:16.840 continues to

00:55:18.620 turn MAGA,

00:55:22.340 but it's

00:55:22.860 only like

00:55:23.360 one degree

00:55:24.020 per week.

00:55:26.120 Now he

00:55:26.560 would say

00:55:26.980 that's not

00:55:27.480 happening at

00:55:28.020 all, but

00:55:29.460 in his

00:55:30.960 recent show,

00:55:32.980 what's it

00:55:33.960 called,

00:55:34.300 Club

00:55:34.640 Club

00:55:35.120 Random

00:55:35.500 show,

00:55:36.880 he says

00:55:37.600 to his

00:55:38.060 guests,

00:55:38.540 look,

00:55:39.040 the stock

00:55:39.480 market is

00:55:40.360 at record

00:55:40.860 highs.

00:55:41.640 I don't

00:55:42.000 see a

00:55:42.380 country in

00:55:42.880 depression at

00:55:43.520 all.

00:55:44.100 I would

00:55:44.440 have thought,

00:55:45.100 and I

00:55:45.480 got to

00:55:45.760 own it,

00:55:46.680 that these

00:55:47.180 tariffs were

00:55:47.840 going to

00:55:48.460 effing sink 1.00

00:55:50.280 this economy

00:55:50.980 by this time,

00:55:51.920 and they

00:55:52.320 didn't.

00:55:54.120 So if

00:55:54.940 you're keeping

00:55:55.460 track,

00:55:56.880 here would

00:55:57.300 be all the

00:55:57.880 things that

00:55:58.560 Bill Maher

00:55:59.840 has now

00:56:00.380 acknowledged

00:56:01.000 about Trump.

00:56:05.040 One, he's

00:56:06.440 not a

00:56:06.860 monster in

00:56:07.680 person,

00:56:08.540 because they

00:56:08.920 had dinner

00:56:09.300 together.

00:56:10.320 Now he

00:56:10.680 says, I

00:56:11.080 still disagree

00:56:11.800 with all

00:56:12.200 his policies,

00:56:13.060 a bunch of

00:56:13.520 policies,

00:56:14.700 but I have

00:56:15.700 to say that

00:56:16.180 in person,

00:56:16.840 he's not

00:56:17.820 ailler.

00:56:19.120 So that's

00:56:19.580 a start.

00:56:21.360 Then correct

00:56:22.220 me if I'm

00:56:22.700 wrong,

00:56:24.120 Bill Maher

00:56:24.660 agrees with

00:56:25.740 Trump on

00:56:26.260 the trans

00:56:27.060 issue in

00:56:28.940 sports.

00:56:30.340 He believes

00:56:31.500 that Trump

00:56:31.980 did a good

00:56:32.560 job on

00:56:33.040 the border,

00:56:33.980 if not a

00:56:34.580 great job.

00:56:36.640 He praised

00:56:37.900 Trump for

00:56:38.700 the bombing

00:56:39.480 of the

00:56:39.940 Iranian

00:56:40.280 nuclear

00:56:40.780 facilities.

00:56:41.920 I think

00:56:42.180 Maher was

00:56:42.680 way on

00:56:43.140 board with

00:56:43.560 that.

00:56:44.600 He likes

00:56:45.420 the fact

00:56:45.880 that Trump

00:56:46.380 is pushing

00:56:46.920 American

00:56:47.460 patriotism.

00:56:49.420 I think

00:56:49.800 he likes

00:56:50.180 that.

00:56:51.840 And he

00:56:52.620 does believe

00:56:53.320 that the

00:56:53.820 Republicans,

00:56:54.740 weirdly,

00:56:55.000 are the

00:56:55.960 free speech

00:56:56.940 party now

00:56:58.040 and that

00:56:58.840 all the

00:56:59.140 wokeness

00:56:59.760 and all

00:57:00.420 that stuff

00:57:00.900 was coming

00:57:01.400 from his

00:57:01.820 own team

00:57:02.360 and that

00:57:04.540 the

00:57:04.860 anti-Semitism

00:57:05.740 might be

00:57:06.340 coming from

00:57:06.840 his own

00:57:07.200 side.

00:57:09.040 So I

00:57:10.240 may be

00:57:11.540 mischaracterizing

00:57:12.680 some of

00:57:13.260 his opinion

00:57:13.840 there,

00:57:14.360 so don't

00:57:15.360 blame him

00:57:15.880 if he

00:57:16.480 heard it

00:57:16.780 from me.

00:57:19.960 But here's

00:57:21.100 what jumped

00:57:22.520 out at me.

00:57:23.880 Apparently

00:57:24.440 Bill Maher

00:57:25.240 had a

00:57:25.780 very firm

00:57:26.520 opinion

00:57:27.040 about what

00:57:28.320 would happen

00:57:28.820 with tariffs

00:57:29.540 and he

00:57:31.180 thought it

00:57:31.520 would tank

00:57:32.040 the economy

00:57:32.660 and that

00:57:33.200 by now

00:57:33.660 we would

00:57:34.060 see all

00:57:35.300 that chaos

00:57:36.000 it caused

00:57:36.520 which he

00:57:37.120 acknowledged

00:57:37.500 just didn't

00:57:37.900 happen.

00:57:38.960 And so

00:57:39.240 my question

00:57:39.800 is this,

00:57:41.080 why did

00:57:41.760 he have

00:57:42.560 certainty

00:57:43.100 that turned

00:57:44.540 out to be

00:57:44.940 wrong,

00:57:45.740 why did

00:57:46.100 he have

00:57:46.320 certainty

00:57:46.740 about tariffs?

00:57:48.220 What would

00:57:48.700 cause you to

00:57:49.400 have any

00:57:49.780 kind of

00:57:50.120 certainty

00:57:50.460 about which

00:57:50.980 direction that

00:57:51.720 was going

00:57:52.100 to go?

00:57:52.420 You could

00:57:53.460 have

00:57:53.660 optimism,

00:57:55.220 you could

00:57:55.620 have

00:57:55.820 pessimism,

00:57:57.000 but it

00:57:57.940 almost sounded

00:57:58.620 like he

00:57:59.080 had something

00:57:59.560 closer to

00:58:00.340 certainty

00:58:00.780 than it

00:58:01.620 was a

00:58:01.880 mistake.

00:58:02.860 Where would

00:58:03.300 he get

00:58:03.600 that

00:58:03.780 certainty?

00:58:05.160 From

00:58:05.760 watching

00:58:06.120 TV

00:58:06.620 and

00:58:07.840 reading the

00:58:09.800 New York

00:58:10.080 Times,

00:58:10.520 right,

00:58:11.080 and whatever

00:58:11.920 else.

00:58:12.660 You don't

00:58:13.360 get that

00:58:13.740 certainty

00:58:14.240 on something

00:58:15.280 you've had

00:58:15.680 no exposure

00:58:16.460 to and

00:58:16.960 nobody's

00:58:17.340 ever done

00:58:17.880 and there

00:58:18.980 are smarter

00:58:19.420 people on

00:58:19.920 both sides.

00:58:21.180 You don't

00:58:21.840 get certainty

00:58:22.580 from that.

00:58:24.780 Now,

00:58:25.120 I'll say

00:58:25.700 again that

00:58:26.280 the wisest

00:58:27.320 opinion I

00:58:28.060 heard on

00:58:28.760 tariffs the

00:58:30.840 entire time,

00:58:31.840 the wisest

00:58:32.460 opinion was

00:58:33.720 Dana Perino

00:58:34.480 who said,

00:58:35.340 can't tell,

00:58:36.760 we'll just

00:58:37.040 wait and

00:58:37.360 see.

00:58:38.520 No way

00:58:39.160 to know,

00:58:40.300 just wait

00:58:40.780 and see.

00:58:42.000 And so I

00:58:42.960 adopted her

00:58:43.700 opinion.

00:58:44.500 I said the

00:58:44.940 same.

00:58:45.260 It's like,

00:58:45.600 don't ask

00:58:46.560 me, we've

00:58:47.860 never done

00:58:48.380 this.

00:58:48.960 We don't

00:58:49.420 know how

00:58:49.740 Trump's

00:58:50.100 going to

00:58:50.320 play it.

00:58:51.100 We don't

00:58:51.480 know if

00:58:51.800 it's just

00:58:52.320 a negotiation.

00:58:53.460 We don't

00:58:53.740 know if

00:58:54.680 he's going

00:58:54.980 to be

00:58:55.160 flexible.

00:58:55.920 We don't

00:58:56.180 know how

00:58:56.440 many times

00:58:56.840 he's going

00:58:57.200 to be

00:58:57.400 unpredictable

00:58:57.960 and change

00:58:58.720 things.

00:58:59.420 We don't

00:58:59.780 know.

00:59:00.760 It could

00:59:01.300 work and

00:59:03.180 it might

00:59:03.480 not.

00:59:04.740 So to

00:59:05.440 me that

00:59:05.800 was the

00:59:06.160 only reasonable

00:59:06.980 take that

00:59:09.020 might work.

00:59:10.680 You just

00:59:11.060 don't know.

00:59:13.100 And now

00:59:13.680 we know

00:59:13.960 that it

00:59:14.280 did.

00:59:15.280 So

00:59:15.640 you just

00:59:19.100 watch.

00:59:19.780 What is

00:59:20.280 left of

00:59:22.240 all the

00:59:22.780 things that

00:59:23.700 Bill Maher

00:59:24.360 once thought

00:59:25.080 about Trump,

00:59:26.040 he also

00:59:26.400 used to

00:59:26.960 believe that

00:59:28.980 only the

00:59:34.240 Republicans

00:59:34.740 doubted the

00:59:35.900 elections.

00:59:38.120 And then

00:59:38.320 it was

00:59:38.700 Megyn Kelly

00:59:39.560 who showed

00:59:39.920 him a

00:59:40.180 compilation

00:59:40.660 clip of

00:59:42.000 Hillary Clinton

00:59:42.920 and other

00:59:43.680 Democratic

00:59:44.940 leaders

00:59:45.400 doubting

00:59:45.900 that

00:59:46.220 Trump

00:59:46.480 really

00:59:46.780 won.

00:59:48.940 So he

00:59:50.720 knows that.

00:59:51.440 He also

00:59:51.940 knows the

00:59:52.660 fine people

00:59:53.320 hoax was

00:59:53.880 a hoax.

00:59:55.460 What's

00:59:56.100 left?

00:59:58.380 What does

00:59:59.340 he have

00:59:59.580 left?

01:00:00.740 That he

01:00:01.660 wishes

01:00:02.240 Trump

01:00:03.360 didn't cut

01:00:04.080 health care?

01:00:05.760 But even

01:00:06.660 the cuts to

01:00:07.380 health care

01:00:07.820 were to

01:00:08.340 preserve it

01:00:09.040 not to

01:00:09.480 destroy it.

01:00:10.140 so I

01:00:12.580 don't know.

01:00:13.700 I don't

01:00:14.580 think it's

01:00:15.540 likely that

01:00:16.080 Bill Maher

01:00:16.520 will ever

01:00:16.900 become

01:00:17.300 Republican

01:00:18.060 or Trump

01:00:18.820 supporter.

01:00:20.220 But it's

01:00:21.120 funny watching

01:00:21.980 like all

01:00:23.900 of the

01:00:24.200 things that

01:00:24.680 support his

01:00:25.400 prior point

01:00:26.560 of view.

01:00:27.400 One by one,

01:00:28.620 each of these

01:00:29.120 pillars is

01:00:29.760 being tapped

01:00:31.480 out.

01:00:33.080 There's

01:00:33.680 nothing left,

01:00:34.640 Bill.

01:00:34.840 you might

01:00:35.880 as well

01:00:36.100 just come

01:00:36.540 to the

01:00:36.840 other side

01:00:37.400 because that's

01:00:38.960 where all

01:00:39.260 the common

01:00:39.660 sense is

01:00:40.160 happening.

01:00:40.960 When I

01:00:41.580 found out

01:00:42.000 my friend

01:00:42.460 got a

01:00:42.820 great deal

01:00:43.420 on a

01:00:43.780 wool coat

01:00:44.180 from

01:00:44.420 Winners,

01:00:45.020 I started

01:00:45.780 wondering,

01:00:46.700 is every

01:00:47.520 fabulous item

01:00:48.300 I see

01:00:48.720 from Winners?

01:00:49.780 Like that

01:00:50.320 woman over 0.99

01:00:50.800 there with

01:00:51.260 the designer

01:00:51.700 jeans.

01:00:52.520 Are those

01:00:53.120 from Winners?

01:00:54.040 Ooh,

01:00:54.680 or those

01:00:55.020 beautiful gold

01:00:55.640 earrings?

01:00:56.520 Did she

01:00:56.780 pay full

01:00:57.100 price?

01:00:57.860 Or that

01:00:58.120 leather tote?

01:00:58.880 Or that

01:00:59.120 cashmere

01:00:59.480 sweater?

01:01:00.100 Or those

01:01:00.400 knee-high

01:01:00.720 boots?

01:01:01.540 That dress?

01:01:02.320 That jacket?

01:01:03.000 Those shoes?

01:01:04.020 Is anyone

01:01:04.800 paying full

01:01:05.460 price for

01:01:06.000 anything?

01:01:06.980 Stop

01:01:07.460 wondering.

01:01:08.260 Start

01:01:08.500 winning.

01:01:09.180 Winners.

01:01:09.760 Find

01:01:10.000 fabulous for

01:01:10.800 less.

01:01:12.000 But meanwhile,

01:01:13.660 James Carville

01:01:16.060 says he's

01:01:16.700 not remotely

01:01:17.400 worried about

01:01:18.240 the future

01:01:18.900 of the

01:01:19.180 Democratic

01:01:19.540 Party

01:01:19.980 because the

01:01:20.940 Democrats

01:01:21.480 have,

01:01:22.120 quote,

01:01:22.640 bucket loads

01:01:23.440 of talent

01:01:24.060 coming.

01:01:24.940 Bucket loads.

01:01:26.660 Pam Key

01:01:27.560 at Breitbart

01:01:28.240 News is writing

01:01:28.980 about this.

01:01:29.840 It was on,

01:01:30.320 I guess,

01:01:30.680 Fox News.

01:01:32.020 Had an

01:01:32.360 interview with

01:01:32.900 him.

01:01:33.540 He was

01:01:33.780 talking to

01:01:34.180 somebody on

01:01:34.700 Fox News

01:01:35.580 on the

01:01:37.160 story.

01:01:38.780 This is the

01:01:39.340 name of the

01:01:39.640 show.

01:01:40.540 And what

01:01:41.400 do you

01:01:41.580 think?

01:01:42.720 He said,

01:01:43.280 I think the

01:01:44.000 hand-wringing,

01:01:45.020 well, I agree

01:01:45.680 to the image

01:01:46.260 of the party

01:01:46.740 is at an

01:01:47.520 all-time low.

01:01:48.820 He goes,

01:01:49.400 there's a

01:01:50.000 bucket load of

01:01:50.660 talent coming

01:01:51.240 online.

01:01:52.720 Now,

01:01:53.360 can you

01:01:54.880 explain to

01:01:55.740 me why the

01:01:57.160 Democrats are

01:01:57.940 hiding all

01:01:58.740 this talent?

01:01:59.300 so according

01:02:02.140 to Carville,

01:02:03.840 their party

01:02:04.960 is in

01:02:05.600 complete life

01:02:06.980 support.

01:02:08.140 It's basically

01:02:08.920 the lowest

01:02:12.560 it's been

01:02:13.100 in 35

01:02:13.620 years.

01:02:16.000 And according

01:02:16.720 to Carville,

01:02:18.220 waiting on the

01:02:19.080 sidelines is a

01:02:20.520 bucket load of

01:02:21.420 highly talented

01:02:22.300 people.

01:02:22.780 what is it

01:02:24.960 that's causing

01:02:25.540 them not to

01:02:26.360 make themselves

01:02:27.200 known right

01:02:27.860 now?

01:02:29.080 Do they think

01:02:30.100 that if they

01:02:30.940 start too early

01:02:31.760 they'll peak

01:02:32.400 too soon?

01:02:34.200 How in the

01:02:35.000 world could

01:02:36.800 you say that

01:02:37.360 they have a

01:02:37.780 bucket load of

01:02:39.060 talent, but

01:02:40.260 they're all

01:02:40.640 hiding?

01:02:41.600 All the talented

01:02:42.360 people are,

01:02:43.480 well, maybe

01:02:44.680 I'll just hide

01:02:45.940 over here or

01:02:47.360 ride it out

01:02:47.920 while I'm

01:02:48.260 hiding.

01:02:49.740 No, James

01:02:50.620 Carville, they

01:02:51.940 would not be

01:02:52.540 hiding if they

01:02:54.460 had bucket

01:02:54.960 loads of

01:02:55.400 talent.

01:02:56.420 They would

01:02:56.740 not be

01:02:57.060 hiding.

01:03:00.680 Well,

01:03:01.580 according to

01:03:03.380 the economists

01:03:05.800 who were

01:03:06.100 looking at the

01:03:06.680 tariffs so

01:03:07.300 far, do you

01:03:08.300 know who is

01:03:08.820 paying for the

01:03:09.620 tariffs?

01:03:11.960 Is the

01:03:12.860 end user

01:03:13.800 paying for

01:03:14.360 them in the

01:03:15.120 form of

01:03:15.520 higher prices?

01:03:17.320 That's what

01:03:17.820 Democrats said

01:03:18.760 would happen.

01:03:20.160 Is the

01:03:21.520 importing of

01:03:22.520 American

01:03:22.980 company paying

01:03:24.900 for it with

01:03:25.640 lower

01:03:25.960 margins, profit

01:03:27.040 margins, or

01:03:28.820 is the

01:03:29.640 foreign company

01:03:30.640 paying for

01:03:31.220 it by just

01:03:33.060 paying for

01:03:33.500 it because we

01:03:35.080 won't buy it

01:03:35.700 unless they

01:03:36.100 pay it?

01:03:37.320 So which of

01:03:37.940 those is

01:03:38.280 paying for it?

01:03:38.840 Well, the

01:03:39.400 early indication

01:03:40.200 is that the

01:03:41.220 American

01:03:41.920 importers are

01:03:44.500 absorbing most

01:03:45.620 of the cost.

01:03:46.740 Not all of it,

01:03:47.460 but most of it.

01:03:48.060 Now, if

01:03:49.360 that's the

01:03:49.820 case, what

01:03:51.240 would be

01:03:51.540 another way

01:03:52.200 to describe

01:03:52.980 that?

01:03:54.380 The big

01:03:54.960 American

01:03:55.540 companies, also

01:03:56.940 small ones, but

01:03:57.920 the big ones

01:03:58.620 would be the

01:04:00.040 biggest bang

01:04:00.740 for the buck,

01:04:02.020 they're eating

01:04:04.480 most of the

01:04:05.020 tariff costs.

01:04:06.800 Doesn't it

01:04:07.400 seem like

01:04:07.980 Trump found

01:04:08.980 a way to

01:04:09.560 tax the

01:04:10.340 oligarchs? 0.99

01:04:11.100 And meanwhile,

01:04:14.740 while Bernie

01:04:15.380 and AOC

01:04:16.880 were running

01:04:17.440 around the

01:04:17.800 country saying,

01:04:18.860 oh, the

01:04:19.280 oligarchs, the 0.99

01:04:20.380 oligarchs, they 1.00

01:04:21.180 need to pay

01:04:21.620 their fair

01:04:22.080 share.

01:04:23.240 Meanwhile,

01:04:24.360 Trump is

01:04:24.860 implementing

01:04:25.360 these tariffs

01:04:26.160 which have

01:04:26.800 the unexpected

01:04:29.280 effect of

01:04:31.060 taxing the

01:04:31.740 oligarchs. 0.98

01:04:34.240 He taxed

01:04:35.340 the oligarchs.

01:04:36.620 And he

01:04:37.020 passed them

01:04:37.520 tax relief

01:04:38.400 that should

01:04:39.460 help all the

01:04:40.320 lower-income

01:04:40.820 people, while

01:04:42.680 he is taxing

01:04:43.500 the oligarchs.

01:04:45.120 It's called

01:04:45.580 the golden

01:04:46.000 age people.

01:04:49.140 I guess the

01:04:49.740 Fed is

01:04:50.180 meeting to

01:04:50.680 talk about

01:04:51.100 interest rates

01:04:51.820 and now

01:04:52.240 there are a

01:04:52.560 few members

01:04:53.140 of the

01:04:53.460 Fed who

01:04:54.580 are in

01:04:54.900 favor of

01:04:55.600 lowering

01:04:56.120 them, but

01:04:57.180 it looks like

01:04:57.840 the Fed is

01:04:58.440 not overall

01:05:00.120 likely to

01:05:01.260 lower rates.

01:05:03.060 So there's

01:05:03.500 that.

01:05:04.140 Are you

01:05:04.440 following the

01:05:05.200 Sidney

01:05:06.020 Sweeney

01:05:06.760 drama?

01:05:09.380 So a

01:05:09.980 company called

01:05:10.540 American

01:05:10.900 Eagle, they

01:05:11.580 make casual

01:05:12.900 clothes.

01:05:14.080 They hired

01:05:14.900 Sidney Sweeney

01:05:15.800 who's a

01:05:16.640 blonde, 0.99

01:05:17.960 sexpot 0.99

01:05:19.380 kind of 0.99

01:05:20.340 actress who's

01:05:21.520 well-known.

01:05:23.340 And so she

01:05:24.380 doesn't go

01:05:25.360 overboard in

01:05:26.080 my opinion,

01:05:26.780 but she

01:05:27.420 makes it

01:05:27.960 sexy.

01:05:29.840 Sort of

01:05:30.640 girl-next-door

01:05:31.900 sexy, you

01:05:32.780 know, not

01:05:33.260 gross sexy.

01:05:34.660 and I 0.84

01:05:35.880 think she

01:05:36.320 does it

01:05:36.860 really well.

01:05:39.020 And

01:05:39.340 apparently

01:05:40.340 there's some

01:05:40.940 outrage over

01:05:41.720 it and

01:05:42.980 some

01:05:43.620 progressives

01:05:44.320 are calling

01:05:44.780 it white

01:05:45.240 supremacy

01:05:45.840 propaganda

01:05:46.520 because she

01:05:50.140 said something

01:05:50.800 about she

01:05:51.460 has good

01:05:51.980 genes,

01:05:53.340 meaning she's

01:05:54.220 pretty because

01:05:54.960 she has good

01:05:55.520 genes, but

01:05:56.120 she's also

01:05:56.640 selling blue

01:05:57.820 genes.

01:05:58.180 And

01:05:59.620 apparently

01:06:00.360 if you

01:06:01.480 mention your

01:06:02.000 genes and

01:06:03.660 you're a 0.56

01:06:04.200 pretty white

01:06:05.060 woman, 1.00

01:06:07.040 that's some

01:06:08.260 white supremacy

01:06:08.960 right there.

01:06:12.400 And then

01:06:13.400 CNN reported

01:06:14.640 that this

01:06:15.220 latest mass

01:06:16.080 shooter who

01:06:16.900 went into a

01:06:18.280 building in

01:06:18.840 Manhattan,

01:06:20.400 that he was

01:06:22.560 possibly a

01:06:23.620 white male.

01:06:25.340 Unless you

01:06:26.320 see his

01:06:26.700 picture.

01:06:28.180 And he

01:06:28.520 is not

01:06:28.920 possibly a

01:06:29.600 white male.

01:06:30.520 Let me

01:06:30.820 just put it

01:06:31.260 that way.

01:06:33.100 But

01:06:33.580 apparently the

01:06:34.440 early reports

01:06:35.180 are that he

01:06:35.680 had some

01:06:36.820 kind of 0.58

01:06:37.260 mental health

01:06:38.020 issue.

01:06:38.820 So we

01:06:39.460 don't know

01:06:39.940 exactly why

01:06:40.720 he did what

01:06:41.200 he did.

01:06:42.180 But mental

01:06:42.860 health issue

01:06:43.460 for sure.

01:06:45.980 I wasn't

01:06:46.820 going to talk

01:06:47.340 about this,

01:06:47.980 but there's an

01:06:48.500 angle that I

01:06:49.380 will.

01:06:50.320 So you

01:06:50.840 know the

01:06:51.180 story that

01:06:51.740 in Cincinnati

01:06:52.780 the other

01:06:53.480 day, there

01:06:54.040 was a music

01:06:54.680 festival.

01:06:56.040 And then I

01:06:56.540 think it was

01:06:56.960 after the

01:06:57.400 festival,

01:06:58.180 there was a

01:06:59.380 large crowd

01:07:00.360 of black 0.83

01:07:02.680 people who 0.99

01:07:04.000 beat up 0.52

01:07:04.580 several white 0.99

01:07:05.900 people and 0.96

01:07:06.520 really beat

01:07:07.060 them badly.

01:07:08.020 Well, a

01:07:08.800 hundred or so

01:07:09.540 people watched

01:07:10.380 and filmed.

01:07:12.400 And here's the

01:07:13.060 part that caught

01:07:13.600 my attention.

01:07:15.020 Apparently only

01:07:15.840 one of the

01:07:16.620 100 people

01:07:17.700 called 911.

01:07:18.700 one.

01:07:18.980 So there

01:07:21.460 were a

01:07:22.060 hundred black 0.84

01:07:23.420 Americans

01:07:23.980 watching what

01:07:27.060 looked like

01:07:27.740 entertainment to

01:07:28.800 them, the

01:07:31.140 brutal beating 0.99

01:07:32.400 of some white 0.99

01:07:33.420 people, and

01:07:35.300 only one of

01:07:36.680 the 100

01:07:37.020 people thought

01:07:38.900 to do

01:07:39.300 something about

01:07:39.980 it.

01:07:40.760 Now, I

01:07:41.380 don't know if

01:07:41.880 any of the

01:07:42.280 100 people

01:07:42.800 tried to

01:07:43.280 physically stop

01:07:44.620 the beating

01:07:45.100 because I

01:07:45.760 didn't see

01:07:46.200 that in

01:07:46.640 any of the

01:07:47.120 videos.

01:07:48.900 But someday

01:07:50.960 I'm going to

01:07:51.520 share my

01:07:52.000 secret on how

01:07:52.860 to avoid being

01:07:53.600 brutally attacked.

01:07:55.180 I don't know if

01:07:56.020 you've heard me

01:07:56.820 talk about it

01:07:57.440 before, but I

01:07:58.160 have a secret.

01:07:59.920 If you want to

01:08:00.760 avoid being

01:08:01.320 brutally attacked

01:08:02.160 by a crowd of

01:08:04.060 people who will

01:08:04.800 not call 911 and

01:08:06.180 not try to stop

01:08:07.020 it, I do know

01:08:08.720 how to do that.

01:08:10.460 Someday I'll tell

01:08:11.060 you about it.

01:08:13.040 What?

01:08:18.320 Binghamton

01:08:18.840 University says

01:08:19.920 there's some

01:08:21.140 study that says

01:08:22.160 that most women 1.00

01:08:23.240 in the field of

01:08:24.840 STEM, they're

01:08:26.000 still in school,

01:08:26.900 I guess, feel

01:08:29.700 like frauds.

01:08:31.580 So they, more

01:08:33.340 than men, I

01:08:33.900 guess.

01:08:34.540 Yeah, I think a

01:08:35.100 lot of the men

01:08:35.520 would feel like

01:08:36.100 frauds as well.

01:08:37.480 But a lot of

01:08:37.960 the women, and

01:08:38.920 it's, what

01:08:39.920 percentage was

01:08:40.760 like 97.5% of

01:08:42.860 women in STEM

01:08:43.680 graduate programs

01:08:45.340 report at least

01:08:46.660 a moderate level

01:08:47.500 of imposter

01:08:48.300 experiences.

01:08:49.560 So they don't

01:08:50.400 feel like they're

01:08:50.940 qualified for the

01:08:52.060 field they're in.

01:08:54.020 Now, I have a

01:08:57.040 cure for that.

01:08:58.700 You ready?

01:09:00.280 So this is

01:09:01.300 something that

01:09:01.760 took me a long

01:09:02.380 time to learn.

01:09:03.920 When I first

01:09:05.080 entered the

01:09:06.000 workforce, I, of

01:09:08.880 course, believed

01:09:09.580 that I was

01:09:10.300 worthless because

01:09:11.120 I didn't know

01:09:11.600 anything, had no

01:09:12.340 experience, didn't

01:09:13.300 know how the

01:09:13.640 company worked, and

01:09:15.300 that I was a

01:09:16.200 total imposter, and

01:09:17.720 that I had to just

01:09:18.420 sort of pretend I

01:09:19.440 knew what I was

01:09:19.940 doing.

01:09:20.880 Then eventually, you

01:09:22.040 know, you learn how

01:09:22.720 some things work.

01:09:24.160 But then I would

01:09:25.480 get promoted or

01:09:26.900 change jobs just

01:09:28.640 when I was learning

01:09:29.420 how the thing

01:09:30.180 worked.

01:09:30.940 And then I would

01:09:31.700 be in a new

01:09:32.260 unfamiliar situation

01:09:33.580 in which I was,

01:09:35.140 once again, the

01:09:36.460 least capable person

01:09:37.720 in that

01:09:38.060 environment, but

01:09:39.720 I'd work on it

01:09:40.500 until I could

01:09:41.340 build up some

01:09:41.940 experience and

01:09:42.720 capability, and

01:09:43.440 then I would

01:09:43.780 change jobs again.

01:09:45.500 I changed jobs a

01:09:46.420 lot every, I

01:09:47.340 don't know, six

01:09:47.820 to nine months

01:09:48.460 when I was a

01:09:49.040 banker.

01:09:50.980 And so I

01:09:53.120 often, almost

01:09:55.240 continuously, had

01:09:57.120 the imposter

01:09:57.880 syndrome.

01:09:59.760 But it never

01:10:01.520 really bothered

01:10:02.200 me, except for

01:10:03.860 maybe the first

01:10:04.580 few months.

01:10:06.160 Here's my

01:10:06.860 reframe so

01:10:08.600 that you can

01:10:09.220 learn to avoid

01:10:10.240 your own

01:10:10.660 imposter syndrome.

01:10:12.100 It goes like

01:10:13.020 this.

01:10:14.700 Everybody is an 0.74

01:10:15.820 imposter.

01:10:17.280 Everybody is

01:10:18.000 bluffing.

01:10:18.980 Everybody.

01:10:20.300 All the time.

01:10:21.520 And they also

01:10:22.440 feel that you

01:10:23.720 can tell that

01:10:24.400 they're bluffing.

01:10:25.360 And they're

01:10:25.820 hoping that you

01:10:26.400 don't know that

01:10:27.020 they're bluffing.

01:10:28.260 The moment you

01:10:29.380 realize it's

01:10:30.060 universal, that

01:10:31.540 everybody's bluffing,

01:10:32.980 and they all feel

01:10:34.080 like they don't

01:10:34.600 know enough

01:10:35.040 about their

01:10:35.480 own field,

01:10:37.000 then it won't

01:10:37.440 bother you.

01:10:38.880 You're not the

01:10:39.680 one person who's

01:10:41.480 the imposter.

01:10:42.680 It's all

01:10:43.640 imposters all

01:10:44.600 the way down.

01:10:45.880 It's turtles

01:10:46.400 all the way

01:10:46.940 down.

01:10:48.340 So try that

01:10:49.240 reframe.

01:10:50.560 And by the

01:10:51.000 way, I

01:10:51.560 guarantee it's

01:10:52.400 true.

01:10:53.240 So you don't

01:10:53.860 have to just

01:10:54.360 say it and

01:10:55.360 then not

01:10:55.740 believe it.

01:10:56.520 It's true.

01:10:58.340 Everybody

01:10:58.820 believes that

01:10:59.540 they're an

01:10:59.860 imposter to

01:11:00.520 some degree.

01:11:02.080 So don't

01:11:02.780 worry about

01:11:03.200 it.

01:11:03.360 You can

01:11:04.140 feel that

01:11:04.620 you're an

01:11:05.200 imposter,

01:11:05.980 but don't

01:11:06.780 feel like it

01:11:07.380 matters.

01:11:08.500 That's a

01:11:09.200 completely

01:11:09.600 different

01:11:10.000 question.

01:11:10.480 It doesn't

01:11:10.720 matter.

01:11:12.740 It's the

01:11:13.280 way it's

01:11:13.640 always been.

01:11:16.360 And that,

01:11:17.220 ladies and 0.98

01:11:17.460 gentlemen, is
