Transcript

00:00:00.860 It's good to see you. There's a room in the front. Grab a chair.
00:00:06.360 Oh, you all look happy this morning. Good morning.
00:00:10.800 Well, let's get our comments going and then we've got a show for you.
00:00:19.560 Come on. Come on, technology. You can do it.
00:00:25.900 Oh, it's good to see all you happy people coming in.
00:00:32.040 Hmm. All right. There we go.
00:00:35.880 It should not take a minute to open a file. That's what I say.
00:00:42.120 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:48.900 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best time you've ever had.
00:00:53.440 But if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience to levels that no one can understand
00:01:01.300 with their tiny, shiny human beings, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass,
00:01:07.780 a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:12.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:01:14.560 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,
00:01:20.120 the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:23.780 That's right. It happens now. Go.
00:01:33.580 Sublime.
00:01:34.220 Well, RFK Jr. and Pete Angseth were kicking off their, I guess they're going to do a fitness tour.
00:01:45.740 I don't know where they're going to go, but the two of them are super fit.
00:01:49.920 And they've got some kind of a challenge where you do 50 pull-ups, 100 push-ups,
00:01:56.280 and you try to get it under five minutes.
00:01:58.720 Do you think you could do that?
00:02:02.480 100 push-ups?
00:02:04.900 I don't know. I think it might take me all day to do 100 push-ups.
00:02:08.340 Five minutes? That's pretty impressive.
00:02:11.260 So 71-year-old RFK Jr. was showing the kids how to be fit.
00:02:17.640 Quite impressive.
00:02:19.180 So I like that.
00:02:20.340 I feel like it's not since...
00:02:23.720 When was the last time the federal government had a fitness thing?
00:02:32.140 Was it...
00:02:33.500 Trump didn't do it last time, right?
00:02:35.780 And I don't think Biden did it.
00:02:38.180 So it's been a while.
00:02:40.860 Well, according to the Epoch Times,
00:02:44.240 more than 300 people have been arrested so far in Washington, D.C.
00:02:48.960 as the federal crackdown on crime continues.
00:02:53.720 300 arrests.
00:02:55.820 Doesn't that feel like a lot?
00:02:58.900 You know, I realize that Washington, D.C. is a pretty big city.
00:03:04.000 But if you could arrest 300 people without trying that hard,
00:03:08.700 now, did they go to their homes
00:03:10.240 because they knew that they should arrest them
00:03:12.840 for something that they knew about?
00:03:14.680 Or did they actually observe 300 crimes in action?
00:03:20.080 Don't you wonder which one it is?
00:03:21.600 Did they just walk around and say,
00:03:24.920 oh, there's another one.
00:03:26.240 Oh, pull them in.
00:03:27.000 Well, there's another one.
00:03:28.340 Don't really know.
00:03:29.440 But 300 feels like a lot.
00:03:32.480 So good job on that.
00:03:34.920 I would say also it seems like the Democrats have given up
00:03:38.640 on the idea that they can make anything of this.
00:03:42.500 I feel like the public really, really likes a reduction in crime.
00:03:48.560 As in, everybody likes it.
00:03:51.420 As in, even the Democrats.
00:03:54.380 Everybody seems to like less crime.
00:03:56.560 Well, here's a data point.
00:04:00.820 I'm not sure I believe it.
00:04:02.200 There's a study published in Nature Mental Health
00:04:05.540 that said that globally,
00:04:07.820 suicide rates have fallen nearly 30% since the 90s.
00:04:13.200 Do you believe that?
00:04:14.680 Suicide rates are down 30% globally.
00:04:17.540 And apparently it's, you know,
00:04:20.140 not just in a few places that are making a difference.
00:04:22.840 There's some kind of universal force
00:04:26.920 that has greatly reduced suicide.
00:04:29.920 Now, what would that be?
00:04:31.660 I have my hypothesis.
00:04:33.820 Since the change comes from 1990,
00:04:39.220 I feel like it's the Internet.
00:04:42.460 Because one of the things that would cause you
00:04:45.720 to take your own life, besides being in pain,
00:04:49.040 would be if you didn't have anything going on
00:04:51.800 and you had no connections in the world
00:04:53.660 and you didn't have any source of dopamine.
00:04:57.800 But as long as you have your phone and the Internet,
00:05:00.900 you can have some kind of connection.
00:05:03.120 You could play a video game
00:05:05.080 and chat with all the gamers.
00:05:07.260 You could flirt with somebody.
00:05:09.160 You could use a dating app.
00:05:10.480 You could use social media.
00:05:12.220 And you would at least feel
00:05:13.840 they were connected to the real world.
00:05:17.300 So that's my guess.
00:05:19.000 Social media.
00:05:20.460 Reduced people taking their own life.
00:05:23.660 Just a guess.
00:05:25.960 Well, you may have seen that MSNBC
00:05:29.200 is changing its name.
00:05:31.900 And boy, are they getting mocked.
00:05:35.140 Their new name will be,
00:05:37.680 and there's a space after one letter there,
00:05:40.780 MS space now.
00:05:43.520 So it's my source for news, opinion, and world.
00:05:47.740 Okay.
00:05:48.160 First of all, that's stupid.
00:05:50.620 My source for news, opinion, and world.
00:05:53.180 Do you need to get a gallon of a world?
00:05:57.940 I know what it means to get news,
00:05:59.900 and I know what it means to consume someone's opinion.
00:06:03.380 What does it mean to get some world?
00:06:06.200 Man, I wouldn't mind getting some world right now.
00:06:09.240 Wait, did I just make it dirty?
00:06:11.840 It sounds totally dirty if you say it that way.
00:06:15.060 Hey, you wouldn't mind giving me a little world, would you?
00:06:17.960 Yeah, it's disgusting.
00:06:21.540 Anyway, so the first two letters, MS,
00:06:27.140 this stands for my source.
00:06:29.400 I don't know why that has to have a space
00:06:31.700 between that and the rest of the letters.
00:06:36.080 It doesn't make any sense to me.
00:06:37.720 But it looks like MSNOW, MS as in Ms.
00:06:41.800 Apparently, they're not going to have a MSNOW.
00:06:46.500 So it's just going to be a women-run organization, MSNOW.
00:06:53.280 And everything I saw about it
00:06:55.400 was people mocking the new logo and the new name.
00:06:58.940 And everybody's wondering,
00:07:00.740 I wonder how much they paid
00:07:02.260 to have somebody come up with the worst idea
00:07:05.700 that any of us have ever seen.
00:07:07.040 Now, if I can soften it a little bit,
00:07:10.260 I will give you an observation that I've made
00:07:13.520 because I've been involved in designing logos
00:07:18.340 and catchphrases and stuff for most of my career.
00:07:22.660 A lot of licensed stuff needs to have some kind of catchy name.
00:07:26.640 And, you know, so over the Dilbert career,
00:07:30.260 I've had to work with lots of people
00:07:33.320 on various logos for, you know,
00:07:37.340 licensed materials and stuff like that.
00:07:40.620 And one of the things I learned
00:07:41.980 is that there are no two people in the world
00:07:44.720 who like the same logo or the same name.
00:07:50.000 It's impossible.
00:07:51.520 You can't find two people who will like the same logo
00:07:55.060 or the same new name for a company.
00:07:57.120 Just don't find it.
00:07:58.220 You can get one person to like it,
00:08:00.260 the person who suggests it,
00:08:02.140 and then everybody else will be like,
00:08:03.900 hmm, eh, no, that's not working.
00:08:07.860 But here's an exercise that I recommend to all of you.
00:08:11.920 Drive down the street
00:08:13.080 and look at anybody's logo
00:08:15.760 and anybody's phrase,
00:08:18.340 you know, if they have some kind of marketing phrase,
00:08:20.680 and ask yourself,
00:08:22.400 if that had not already existed
00:08:24.040 and you were in a meeting and somebody pitched it,
00:08:27.200 would you have said, oh, yeah,
00:08:28.620 yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
00:08:31.140 And you will find that even the most famous
00:08:33.600 and successful logos,
00:08:35.540 you look at them and you go,
00:08:37.040 oh, I would not have greenlit that.
00:08:39.820 So, nobody's ever happy with logos and name changes.
00:08:46.820 Well, according to The Verge,
00:08:49.160 there's a company called Grammarly
00:08:51.600 that has now released nine different AI apps
00:08:56.160 for various writing-related things.
00:08:59.660 But here are a few of them.
00:09:00.680 Let's see, they've got one
00:09:03.320 that will, can provide feedback
00:09:07.260 about what your instructor in college
00:09:11.620 would like in your writing
00:09:13.880 so that they can actually advise you
00:09:16.500 how to write in a way
00:09:17.500 that your specific instructor
00:09:19.380 is going to like and give you an A.
00:09:22.160 That's a pretty good app if it works.
00:09:24.780 They also have, let's see,
00:09:27.320 they have a plagiarism checker
00:09:29.180 to make sure that you didn't steal something.
00:09:33.500 And they have an AI detector
00:09:36.780 so they can tell,
00:09:38.680 this would be more like for the teacher,
00:09:40.760 they can tell if AI wrote your material.
00:09:44.040 So that's one.
00:09:44.780 And then they've got AI agents
00:09:51.440 to improve your writing,
00:09:54.180 including the likely reader reaction to it.
00:09:57.740 They've got a proofreader agent
00:09:59.360 that provides inline writing suggestions.
00:10:01.860 They've got a paraphrase agent
00:10:03.580 that adjusts writing to suit specific tones,
00:10:07.360 audiences, and styles.
00:10:10.220 And they've got one for attribution.
00:10:12.620 So do you recognize the weak link
00:10:18.060 in that process?
00:10:20.680 So you've got a human being
00:10:22.280 and they use apps
00:10:24.300 to make sure that they've written something correctly.
00:10:27.880 Doesn't it feel to you
00:10:29.160 like the human being is the problem here?
00:10:32.180 And if you just get rid of the human being entirely,
00:10:35.540 then you'd have something.
00:10:36.780 But the amount that the human does,
00:10:41.360 it's just getting smaller and smaller.
00:10:44.720 So what happens when people stop going to college
00:10:49.180 or listening or figuring out how to write
00:10:51.220 because they don't have to
00:10:52.700 because AI is doing all the work for them?
00:10:55.400 I feel like we're reaching a place
00:10:58.560 where a whole bunch of people are going to decide
00:11:01.500 that they don't even need to learn to read.
00:11:03.700 Well, I guess I'd have to read well enough
00:11:06.720 to use the app,
00:11:08.000 but that's about it.
00:11:10.780 All right.
00:11:11.440 When I found out my friend got a great deal
00:11:15.840 on a wool coat from Winners,
00:11:17.460 I started wondering,
00:11:19.100 is every fabulous item I see from Winners?
00:11:22.220 Like that woman over there with the designer jeans.
00:11:24.940 Are those from Winners?
00:11:26.480 Ooh, are those beautiful gold earrings.
00:11:28.940 Did she pay full price?
00:11:30.260 Or that leather tote?
00:11:31.280 Or that cashmere sweater?
00:11:32.520 Or those knee-high boots?
00:11:33.960 That dress?
00:11:34.740 That jacket?
00:11:35.420 Those shoes?
00:11:36.440 Is anyone paying full price for anything?
00:11:39.440 Stop wondering.
00:11:40.660 Start winning.
00:11:41.440 Winners find fabulous for less.
00:11:44.960 So let's check in on Democrats,
00:11:48.280 see what ridiculous things are doing.
00:11:51.460 Democrat Representative LaMonica McIver,
00:11:55.440 she claims that his use of the phrase
00:11:59.340 Liberation Day is a secret code for white power.
00:12:05.260 Liberation Day is a secret code for white power?
00:12:08.900 So this is one of your best Democrats here.
00:12:16.180 According to Fox News,
00:12:18.920 the New Yorker writer,
00:12:21.560 who had best,
00:12:22.540 I guess recently had trashed Sidney Sweeney,
00:12:25.560 was discovered to have some anti-white posts
00:12:30.180 on social media
00:12:31.160 that included,
00:12:32.740 quote,
00:12:33.020 quote,
00:12:33.520 I hate white men,
00:12:34.720 and made a tax on something called white capitalism.
00:12:40.300 Okay.
00:12:41.360 There's another Democrat.
00:12:43.460 And then Representative Ayanna Pressley,
00:12:47.540 according to Breitbart News,
00:12:49.080 she went on a rant about how Democrats should not become more moderate
00:12:55.420 to restore their image.
00:12:57.900 She wants them to fight harder.
00:13:02.880 And she said,
00:13:03.800 Democrats were so busy,
00:13:05.860 so focused on proving that we were the adults in the room
00:13:09.220 when we forgot to demonstrate
00:13:11.260 that we're the fighters in the room.
00:13:14.780 So that's a Democrat leader's take
00:13:18.360 on what Democrats did wrong.
00:13:20.540 They were trying too hard
00:13:22.660 to be the adults in the room.
00:13:26.520 Does that seem like the problem?
00:13:29.420 Maybe it has something more to do with running
00:13:31.860 Kamala Harris as your candidate.
00:13:37.000 Was she the adult in the room?
00:13:39.360 The drunken idiot?
00:13:41.080 That was the adult in the room?
00:13:43.180 Yeah, that's what it was.
00:13:44.260 So I'm loving watching Democrats have no idea
00:13:51.820 what they did wrong
00:13:53.360 or what to do later to change it.
00:13:57.860 Absolutely no idea.
00:13:59.940 They don't talk about the quality of their candidates.
00:14:02.720 They don't talk about their policies.
00:14:04.580 They don't talk about their ideas.
00:14:06.400 They literally think that if they fought harder,
00:14:11.300 whatever that is,
00:14:12.600 whatever that is,
00:14:14.260 fought harder,
00:14:15.860 then everything will turn around.
00:14:18.200 Now, as long as that's what they think,
00:14:20.720 there isn't really much chance
00:14:22.500 they're going to succeed
00:14:23.440 because they're so far
00:14:25.580 from the actual active solution.
00:14:29.160 Why is it that Trump is doing so well?
00:14:33.580 It's because he's picking policies
00:14:35.820 and also people to implement them
00:14:38.980 who are excellent and very popular.
00:14:42.600 It's not really some kind of weird mystery.
00:14:46.600 If Democrats simply did what Republicans are doing,
00:14:50.900 pick the popular things
00:14:52.360 and promote them
00:14:54.240 and get the right people hired to implement,
00:14:57.360 if you just did that,
00:14:59.540 I believe that your reputation
00:15:01.480 would be repaired quite quickly.
00:15:03.660 Quite quickly.
00:15:04.200 Well, I've got an observation
00:15:10.600 that I've been working on
00:15:11.780 that might get me double canceled,
00:15:14.320 but I'm going to trot it out.
00:15:16.420 See if it,
00:15:17.320 I want to see if it resonates with you.
00:15:21.280 So, would you agree
00:15:22.620 that Democrats and Republicans
00:15:24.640 have a different approach
00:15:26.040 to black America?
00:15:28.200 I think you'd all agree with that, right?
00:15:29.900 But my observation is
00:15:32.260 that Democrats treat black Americans
00:15:34.320 like pets.
00:15:36.520 And what I mean by that is
00:15:37.980 there's this horrible assumption
00:15:41.040 that in order for black Americans
00:15:44.520 to succeed,
00:15:46.340 it is necessary for white Americans
00:15:48.780 to act differently.
00:15:50.000 And there's no sense
00:15:54.060 that black Americans
00:15:55.460 could just do their own thing
00:15:56.820 like everybody else in the world.
00:15:59.480 Why are they the only group
00:16:01.180 that can't succeed
00:16:02.960 unless white people
00:16:03.860 do something differently?
00:16:06.280 And Republicans,
00:16:07.780 I believe,
00:16:10.040 say everybody can succeed,
00:16:12.440 you just have to do the things
00:16:13.740 that successful people do.
00:16:15.580 How about staying out of jail?
00:16:17.860 How about paying attention in school?
00:16:20.000 Or learning a trade?
00:16:21.800 And making sure
00:16:22.980 that you're a productive,
00:16:24.580 valuable member of society?
00:16:27.120 That works pretty much every time.
00:16:30.960 Every time.
00:16:33.460 So,
00:16:34.500 I find myself
00:16:36.820 almost revolted
00:16:39.400 when I see Democrats
00:16:41.180 treating black Americans
00:16:42.500 like it's the only group
00:16:44.080 that can't succeed
00:16:45.420 without the white people
00:16:47.040 doing something different.
00:16:48.300 and
00:16:49.920 you know my opinion.
00:16:52.520 What I found out
00:16:53.640 when I got canceled
00:16:54.540 is that
00:16:55.860 black Americans
00:16:57.200 did not want any advice
00:16:58.780 from white Americans.
00:17:00.880 If we were going to
00:17:02.340 invest,
00:17:04.160 they would certainly
00:17:04.800 talk about that,
00:17:06.080 you know,
00:17:06.280 if there's money involved.
00:17:07.480 But they weren't looking
00:17:08.640 for our good ideas.
00:17:09.920 and
00:17:11.500 I feel like
00:17:14.280 I would agree with them.
00:17:15.740 Say,
00:17:16.100 oh,
00:17:16.640 how about I just shut up
00:17:18.360 and leave you alone?
00:17:21.140 How about I just
00:17:22.060 stay out of it?
00:17:23.080 Because you really
00:17:23.680 don't need me.
00:17:25.460 When I imagine
00:17:27.380 that other people
00:17:28.100 need me to succeed,
00:17:30.260 that's not really fair,
00:17:31.900 is it?
00:17:32.360 So anyway,
00:17:35.480 that's my take
00:17:37.240 is that
00:17:38.300 you shouldn't
00:17:38.840 treat other people
00:17:39.580 as pets.
00:17:40.820 You should assume
00:17:41.600 that if they do
00:17:42.400 the right things,
00:17:43.080 they'll get the right
00:17:43.800 outcomes
00:17:44.900 like everybody else.
00:17:46.080 Well,
00:17:49.640 the Democrat Party
00:17:51.620 continues to collapse.
00:17:54.360 So as you know,
00:17:55.560 they have no policies
00:17:56.740 anybody cares about
00:17:58.040 and they have no leaders.
00:17:59.700 They're identifiable
00:18:00.780 as leaders.
00:18:01.920 But they also
00:18:02.780 don't have much money.
00:18:04.580 So apparently
00:18:05.060 the Republicans,
00:18:07.260 the RNC,
00:18:08.460 has raised
00:18:09.100 five times more money
00:18:10.620 than the DNC,
00:18:12.300 according to Newsmax.
00:18:13.540 and it's
00:18:15.660 $80 million
00:18:16.320 compared to $15 million.
00:18:19.440 So
00:18:19.840 Democrats,
00:18:23.260 they literally
00:18:24.400 don't have anything.
00:18:26.300 So they've got
00:18:27.200 a bad reputation.
00:18:28.860 They've got no ideas.
00:18:30.600 They have no leaders.
00:18:32.360 And now they have
00:18:33.000 no money.
00:18:34.860 That is what
00:18:36.020 a collapse
00:18:36.780 looks like.
00:18:37.840 That's as
00:18:38.400 collapse-y
00:18:39.100 as you can get.
00:18:40.100 There's nothing left.
00:18:42.180 Anyway,
00:18:42.460 well,
00:18:43.400 Doge is
00:18:44.080 claiming
00:18:44.640 that their savings
00:18:46.120 that they've already
00:18:47.060 arranged for
00:18:49.960 are going to be
00:18:51.780 more than $200 billion.
00:18:54.140 That's just so far.
00:18:56.360 So that would be
00:18:57.120 $1,300
00:18:57.720 per taxpayer.
00:18:59.600 Really?
00:19:00.960 So
00:19:01.640 the
00:19:02.520 Epoch Times
00:19:03.760 is reporting on that.
00:19:05.280 Now,
00:19:05.540 I would remind you
00:19:06.620 that
00:19:09.160 whenever
00:19:10.060 you're looking
00:19:10.680 at this big data stuff,
00:19:12.260 especially if money
00:19:13.300 is involved,
00:19:14.380 I'm not sure
00:19:15.060 you can believe
00:19:15.720 any of it.
00:19:16.960 So I'm not going
00:19:18.040 to say that
00:19:18.580 because I love Doge,
00:19:19.980 which I do,
00:19:21.340 and I think that
00:19:22.100 they're all there
00:19:22.600 for the right reason,
00:19:23.900 which I do,
00:19:24.880 and they're all
00:19:25.680 super qualified
00:19:26.780 and capable,
00:19:27.940 which they are,
00:19:29.320 that's still not enough
00:19:30.740 to assume that
00:19:32.240 any number
00:19:32.800 they produce
00:19:33.460 is going to be reliable.
00:19:35.720 That's a whole
00:19:36.440 different deal.
00:19:37.080 nobody really
00:19:38.140 can produce
00:19:38.880 reliable numbers.
00:19:41.500 It's almost
00:19:42.220 not even a thing.
00:19:43.900 But
00:19:44.100 since Doge
00:19:46.720 is almost
00:19:47.220 certainly
00:19:47.780 directionally
00:19:48.800 valuable,
00:19:51.000 you know,
00:19:51.260 as long as
00:19:52.080 they're working
00:19:53.080 on it
00:19:53.560 and
00:19:53.900 chewing away
00:19:55.260 and canceling
00:19:56.040 contracts,
00:19:57.080 I'm pretty sure
00:19:58.080 it's working
00:19:58.560 in the right direction.
00:20:00.560 So I don't need
00:20:01.720 the exact numbers
00:20:02.620 for that.
00:20:03.180 Well,
00:20:06.180 according to
00:20:07.180 Newsmax,
00:20:08.380 Representative Comer
00:20:09.840 is going to be
00:20:11.320 in Congress
00:20:12.160 talking to the,
00:20:14.360 oh,
00:20:14.680 I guess the GOJ
00:20:15.760 is going to
00:20:16.380 start sharing
00:20:17.100 the Epstein files
00:20:18.180 with Congress.
00:20:19.020 That would be
00:20:19.460 Comer's
00:20:20.200 oversight group.
00:20:22.480 And
00:20:23.020 what do you
00:20:24.240 expect from that?
00:20:26.760 Does anybody
00:20:27.820 expect
00:20:28.480 that we're going
00:20:29.160 to have any
00:20:29.540 new great
00:20:30.320 revelations
00:20:31.080 because
00:20:32.120 Congress
00:20:32.920 is going
00:20:33.380 to get
00:20:33.640 some more
00:20:33.960 Epstein files?
00:20:35.560 I feel like
00:20:36.560 they had
00:20:37.000 some sense
00:20:37.780 which of
00:20:38.740 their files
00:20:39.320 were useful
00:20:40.080 and would
00:20:41.080 make a difference
00:20:41.760 and which
00:20:42.140 weren't.
00:20:42.900 I feel like
00:20:43.400 it might be
00:20:43.860 all we're
00:20:45.180 going to see
00:20:45.540 now is the
00:20:46.220 worthless files
00:20:47.400 and we'll
00:20:48.680 just be pouring
00:20:49.340 through them
00:20:49.780 and saying,
00:20:50.100 ah,
00:20:50.320 where's the
00:20:50.820 good stuff?
00:20:51.780 And there
00:20:52.120 just won't
00:20:52.560 be any
00:20:52.860 good stuff.
00:20:54.680 We did
00:20:55.360 hear that
00:20:56.600 Bill Barr
00:20:57.280 apparently has
00:20:58.060 said that
00:20:59.040 Trump was not
00:20:59.980 implicated in
00:21:00.840 the Epstein
00:21:01.380 files.
00:21:02.520 Now,
00:21:02.840 he would
00:21:03.220 have seen
00:21:03.740 the Epstein
00:21:04.240 files,
00:21:05.160 so he
00:21:05.800 would know.
00:21:07.080 And he
00:21:08.260 was not
00:21:08.700 exactly
00:21:09.300 Trump's
00:21:09.980 best friend,
00:21:10.720 although often
00:21:11.500 they were on
00:21:12.020 the same
00:21:12.360 side and
00:21:13.040 the same
00:21:13.320 team.
00:21:14.320 But I
00:21:15.780 kind of
00:21:16.340 believe him.
00:21:17.520 If Bill
00:21:18.020 Barr says
00:21:18.580 the files
00:21:19.100 don't implicate
00:21:19.880 Trump
00:21:20.200 whatsoever,
00:21:21.080 I kind of
00:21:21.740 believe that.
00:21:22.540 He also
00:21:22.980 points out
00:21:23.560 the obvious,
00:21:24.600 that if
00:21:25.500 it did,
00:21:26.860 that would
00:21:27.540 already be
00:21:28.020 leaked because
00:21:29.000 the Democrats
00:21:29.500 had access to
00:21:30.380 the same
00:21:30.680 thing he had
00:21:31.220 access to.
00:21:32.120 And
00:21:35.200 so that
00:21:38.000 would be
00:21:38.280 cool.
00:21:38.600 Ontario,
00:21:40.360 the wait
00:21:41.000 is over.

00:22:40.140 I saw Mario
00:22:41.400 Knopfel reporting
00:22:43.080 on something coming
00:22:44.460 out of the
00:22:45.020 Growth Forge
00:22:46.660 AI that there's
00:22:49.160 this immunologist,
00:22:51.560 Daria Unutsma,
00:22:53.960 Maz,
00:22:54.580 Unutsma,
00:22:55.640 Ones.
00:22:56.320 Anyway,
00:22:57.840 he claims that
00:22:58.680 if you survive
00:22:59.520 the next 10
00:23:00.360 years,
00:23:01.780 that you could
00:23:02.560 gain an additional
00:23:03.460 50 years of
00:23:04.580 life.
00:23:05.920 Because in the
00:23:07.120 next 10 years,
00:23:08.260 the AI and
00:23:09.100 all would figure
00:23:09.920 out how to
00:23:10.440 solve all the
00:23:11.020 big problems.
00:23:15.060 What do you
00:23:15.780 think about that?
00:23:17.280 I feel like that
00:23:18.480 would be a
00:23:19.680 really,
00:23:20.240 really big
00:23:20.760 problem.
00:23:22.400 The only thing
00:23:23.440 worse than not
00:23:24.980 having enough
00:23:25.500 babies is
00:23:27.380 having a bunch
00:23:27.980 of old people
00:23:28.660 refuse to die
00:23:29.780 because they're
00:23:30.840 going to use up
00:23:31.400 all the resources
00:23:32.140 but they're not
00:23:32.960 going to be
00:23:34.020 working for the
00:23:35.040 most part.
00:23:36.320 So this
00:23:37.740 feels like
00:23:38.420 really bad
00:23:39.140 news.
00:23:40.920 But I'm not
00:23:41.680 buying it yet.
00:23:43.180 Bookish girl,
00:23:44.120 I agree with you.
00:23:44.980 I'm not believing
00:23:45.760 it.
00:23:46.520 How long have
00:23:47.340 we been hearing
00:23:47.940 that?
00:23:48.940 That if you
00:23:49.460 could survive
00:23:50.260 just 10 more
00:23:51.280 years, you
00:23:52.560 might never
00:23:53.160 die.
00:23:54.380 I think I've
00:23:54.960 been hearing
00:23:55.320 that for 50
00:23:56.280 years.
00:23:58.840 Meanwhile, the
00:23:59.840 Texas Democrats
00:24:01.220 who went rogue
00:24:02.780 and left the
00:24:03.420 state so that
00:24:04.600 they wouldn't
00:24:04.960 have to vote
00:24:05.680 on the
00:24:06.540 gerrymandering
00:24:07.660 proposal in
00:24:08.600 Texas, they
00:24:10.340 have returned.
00:24:12.580 And did they
00:24:13.540 gain anything?
00:24:14.380 And once
00:24:16.560 again, we
00:24:17.080 see that they
00:24:18.340 didn't have any
00:24:19.000 leaders, because
00:24:20.700 you can't name
00:24:21.480 anybody who was
00:24:22.140 associated with
00:24:23.080 it, right?
00:24:23.660 There's no
00:24:24.080 leader.
00:24:25.300 And they
00:24:26.060 didn't have any
00:24:26.660 ideas other
00:24:28.500 than running
00:24:29.040 away.
00:24:29.560 It's not really
00:24:30.080 an idea.
00:24:31.740 And the
00:24:34.260 only thing
00:24:35.000 they got out
00:24:35.620 of it was
00:24:36.740 the theater.
00:24:38.480 The fact that
00:24:39.460 they put on a
00:24:40.500 little play, a
00:24:41.920 little skit, and
00:24:43.420 then the news
00:24:44.000 covered it, and
00:24:44.920 then they did
00:24:45.360 little social
00:24:46.140 media hits, it
00:24:48.000 was pure
00:24:48.560 theater.
00:24:49.660 But it
00:24:50.740 wasn't even
00:24:51.320 useful theater,
00:24:52.820 because lots
00:24:53.360 of times,
00:24:53.880 especially when
00:24:54.560 Trump does
00:24:55.100 it, the
00:24:55.840 theater is
00:24:56.780 functional, like
00:24:58.520 it's accomplishing
00:24:59.380 something, or
00:25:00.280 it's drawing
00:25:01.140 attention to
00:25:01.940 something.
00:25:03.040 What good
00:25:03.700 did this do?
00:25:04.900 Didn't it just
00:25:05.520 make the
00:25:06.080 Democrats look
00:25:06.880 like losers?
00:25:08.740 And maybe it
00:25:10.660 made the fight
00:25:11.320 bigger, but it
00:25:13.680 kind of looks
00:25:14.220 like the
00:25:14.800 Republicans had
00:25:15.720 the better
00:25:16.620 hand, because
00:25:18.460 there are more
00:25:19.000 Republican states
00:25:21.240 that have not
00:25:22.320 yet completely
00:25:23.300 gerrymandered than
00:25:25.140 there were
00:25:25.440 Democrat states.
00:25:26.920 So they're not
00:25:28.060 going to win in the
00:25:28.740 long run.
00:25:29.420 They didn't win
00:25:30.100 anything in the
00:25:30.880 short run.
00:25:31.880 And the people
00:25:32.860 who had to go to
00:25:33.640 work every day
00:25:34.580 said to
00:25:35.620 themselves,
00:25:36.480 aren't we
00:25:37.760 paying them?
00:25:38.320 I think we're
00:25:39.560 paying them to
00:25:40.280 show up.
00:25:41.520 Maybe they
00:25:41.960 should show
00:25:42.500 up.
00:25:43.760 So that was
00:25:44.420 a big fail
00:25:45.140 for Democrats.
00:25:49.780 I saw on
00:25:50.840 Fox News,
00:25:52.020 Stephen Miller
00:25:52.580 was estimating
00:25:53.680 that in
00:25:55.960 addition to
00:25:56.600 the undercounting
00:25:57.780 of the
00:25:58.360 census between
00:26:01.140 blue states
00:26:01.800 and red,
00:26:02.660 the 2020
00:26:03.620 census
00:26:04.160 inclusion of
00:26:05.280 illegal aliens
00:26:06.220 gave Democrats
00:26:07.300 20 to 30
00:26:08.460 extra seats
00:26:09.440 in Congress.
00:26:10.960 Now,
00:26:11.400 you can debate
00:26:12.240 whether that
00:26:13.760 was what the
00:26:14.620 Constitution
00:26:15.300 intended,
00:26:16.600 but whether
00:26:17.980 it intended
00:26:18.580 it or not,
00:26:19.880 it was a
00:26:20.320 20 to 30
00:26:21.280 seat difference.
00:26:23.400 So if that
00:26:24.240 goes away,
00:26:26.320 it's going to
00:26:27.180 be tough to
00:26:27.800 dislodge the
00:26:28.760 Republicans from
00:26:29.820 power.
00:26:34.320 I saw
00:26:35.300 a post
00:26:36.260 by Stephen
00:26:37.700 A.
00:26:38.020 Smith,
00:26:38.800 who said
00:26:40.140 that all
00:26:40.620 of the
00:26:40.840 recent Russian
00:26:41.520 aggression
00:26:41.960 came because
00:26:42.780 of three
00:26:43.400 Democrat
00:26:44.000 presidents.
00:26:45.920 Did you
00:26:46.100 ever think
00:26:46.460 about that?
00:26:47.040 I never
00:26:47.380 thought about
00:26:47.840 this,
00:26:48.420 but here's
00:26:48.800 what Stephen
00:26:49.360 A.
00:26:49.560 Smith points
00:26:50.140 out.
00:26:51.200 He said,
00:26:54.000 we ain't
00:26:58.180 going to
00:26:58.380 act like
00:26:58.960 Trump
00:26:59.440 caused
00:26:59.980 this now.
00:27:00.760 It's
00:27:00.960 Democrats
00:27:01.520 in office.
00:27:02.120 He said
00:27:02.440 it was
00:27:02.700 Biden
00:27:03.020 in office
00:27:03.620 when Putin
00:27:06.160 moved into
00:27:06.720 Ukraine,
00:27:07.340 so that's
00:27:07.800 on Biden.
00:27:09.160 It was
00:27:09.640 Obama
00:27:11.240 who was
00:27:11.580 in charge
00:27:12.180 when Russia
00:27:13.520 invaded
00:27:14.000 Crimea,
00:27:15.500 so that's
00:27:15.900 another
00:27:16.160 Democrat,
00:27:17.120 and he
00:27:17.760 points out
00:27:18.260 that Clinton
00:27:18.880 was in
00:27:19.400 office when
00:27:21.160 they made
00:27:21.540 a deal
00:27:21.980 to disarm
00:27:22.720 Ukraine.
00:27:24.740 So Clinton
00:27:25.860 disarms
00:27:26.600 Ukraine,
00:27:27.980 and then
00:27:28.800 Obama's in
00:27:29.600 charge when
00:27:30.120 Crimea is
00:27:30.900 lost,
00:27:31.340 and then
00:27:32.400 Biden's
00:27:32.840 in charge
00:27:33.340 when the
00:27:34.640 rest of
00:27:34.980 the country
00:27:35.400 is under
00:27:35.800 attack.
00:27:37.660 Yeah,
00:27:38.240 it's kind
00:27:38.760 of hard
00:27:39.300 to imagine
00:27:40.140 the Republicans
00:27:42.240 wouldn't have
00:27:42.880 done a better
00:27:43.340 job.
00:27:44.380 Now,
00:27:44.680 one of the
00:27:45.020 things that
00:27:45.520 I'm loving
00:27:46.040 is that
00:27:46.840 Trump says
00:27:48.000 over and
00:27:48.740 over again,
00:27:49.940 the war
00:27:50.300 would have
00:27:50.640 never happened
00:27:51.340 if I'd
00:27:51.960 been president.
00:27:53.600 Now,
00:27:54.200 I don't
00:27:55.000 know that
00:27:55.360 you could
00:27:55.680 prove that,
00:27:56.460 but it's
00:27:58.580 a claim
00:27:59.800 that is
00:28:00.300 reasonable
00:28:00.920 enough
00:28:01.440 that if
00:28:02.460 you hear
00:28:03.000 it enough,
00:28:03.800 you're going
00:28:04.180 to think
00:28:04.480 it's true,
00:28:05.340 and he
00:28:05.860 certainly
00:28:06.220 says it
00:28:06.780 enough,
00:28:07.380 but now
00:28:07.920 you're hearing
00:28:08.320 other people
00:28:08.920 repeating it.
00:28:10.260 It's now
00:28:11.000 becoming more
00:28:11.760 common sense
00:28:13.600 that if Trump
00:28:14.840 had been in
00:28:15.300 charge,
00:28:15.600 it wouldn't
00:28:15.900 have happened,
00:28:16.640 and that's
00:28:17.420 what the
00:28:18.200 Stephen A.
00:28:18.900 Smith
00:28:19.160 post
00:28:20.420 does.
00:28:22.740 It kind
00:28:23.320 of just
00:28:23.620 turns it
00:28:24.060 into,
00:28:24.440 well,
00:28:24.780 I mean,
00:28:25.040 you can
00:28:25.340 look for
00:28:25.680 yourself.
00:28:26.420 Common sense.
00:28:27.600 When the
00:28:28.000 Democrats
00:28:28.460 are in
00:28:28.760 charge,
00:28:29.420 Putin gets
00:28:30.420 aggressive
00:28:30.820 because he
00:28:32.080 knows there's
00:28:32.560 a difference
00:28:33.120 between the
00:28:34.120 Republicans in
00:28:34.920 charge and
00:28:35.360 the Democrats,
00:28:36.280 especially
00:28:36.700 Trump.
00:28:38.840 Well,
00:28:39.380 let's speak
00:28:39.820 about Ukraine,
00:28:41.140 as you know.
00:28:42.600 There were
00:28:43.780 seven major
00:28:44.760 leaders of
00:28:45.680 the European
00:28:46.320 countries,
00:28:48.100 and that
00:28:48.340 included NATO
00:28:49.260 plus the
00:28:50.020 European Union.
00:28:51.980 So they all
00:28:52.600 showed up
00:28:53.220 at the
00:28:54.600 White House
00:28:55.080 along with
00:28:55.980 Zelensky.
00:28:58.120 Now,
00:28:58.740 the important
00:28:59.120 things are
00:28:59.740 that Zelensky
00:29:01.100 wore a suit,
00:29:02.420 but a weird
00:29:03.460 looking suit
00:29:04.100 with no
00:29:04.540 necktie.
00:29:05.860 But still,
00:29:07.340 it made
00:29:08.580 Trump happy
00:29:09.240 that he had
00:29:10.220 put some
00:29:10.600 effort into
00:29:11.120 it.
00:29:12.180 And here's
00:29:14.040 one of the
00:29:14.620 persuasion tips
00:29:15.720 about Trump
00:29:16.520 that I've
00:29:17.540 told you
00:29:17.900 before,
00:29:18.400 but the more
00:29:18.780 examples you
00:29:19.560 see,
00:29:20.020 the more
00:29:20.280 to stick.
00:29:21.980 Trump is
00:29:23.020 the expert
00:29:23.760 at making
00:29:24.480 the biggest
00:29:25.360 difference
00:29:25.980 between making
00:29:27.200 him happy
00:29:27.780 and making
00:29:28.360 him not
00:29:28.760 happy.
00:29:30.200 So when
00:29:31.420 Zelensky
00:29:31.900 didn't wear
00:29:32.740 the right
00:29:33.520 clothes the
00:29:34.380 last time
00:29:34.800 he visited,
00:29:35.760 Trump made
00:29:36.300 sure that he
00:29:36.860 acted really
00:29:37.540 unhappy.
00:29:38.960 And then when
00:29:39.460 Zelensky wears
00:29:40.560 a respectful,
00:29:42.040 nice suit,
00:29:43.340 Trump treats
00:29:44.900 him well and
00:29:45.820 laughs and
00:29:46.540 says,
00:29:46.740 yeah,
00:29:47.160 you look
00:29:47.760 great.
00:29:48.240 You look
00:29:48.580 amazing.
00:29:49.780 So he
00:29:50.220 doesn't just
00:29:50.940 say,
00:29:51.780 all right,
00:29:52.080 well,
00:29:52.220 that's better.
00:29:53.700 He makes
00:29:54.500 this really
00:29:55.200 big gap
00:29:57.120 between making
00:29:58.600 him happy,
00:29:59.500 wearing a
00:30:00.080 nice suit,
00:30:01.240 versus not
00:30:02.120 making him
00:30:02.540 happy.
00:30:03.420 So that is
00:30:03.960 persuasion
00:30:04.820 lesson one.
00:30:07.320 The biggest
00:30:08.000 gap between
00:30:09.100 making him
00:30:09.740 happy and not
00:30:10.620 making him
00:30:11.060 happy, and he
00:30:11.620 does that
00:30:12.000 consistently.
00:30:12.980 Does it really
00:30:13.560 well.
00:30:14.200 Better than I've
00:30:15.620 ever seen,
00:30:16.440 really, for a
00:30:17.380 leader.
00:30:19.980 But the
00:30:20.760 question is,
00:30:22.260 was any
00:30:23.000 progress made?
00:30:24.580 Well, I
00:30:25.840 don't know if
00:30:26.240 you'd call it
00:30:26.680 progress, but
00:30:27.520 some things
00:30:28.320 happened.
00:30:31.580 One is that
00:30:32.600 Ukraine
00:30:33.480 apparently is
00:30:35.300 signing up to
00:30:36.000 buy $100
00:30:36.600 billion worth
00:30:37.640 of weapons
00:30:38.160 from the
00:30:38.560 U.S.
00:30:39.760 that would be
00:30:40.340 paid for by
00:30:41.380 Europe, I
00:30:42.320 guess.
00:30:43.540 And if
00:30:46.100 that kept
00:30:47.120 up, the
00:30:48.560 U.S.
00:30:49.040 would very
00:30:49.580 quickly make
00:30:50.340 up all the
00:30:50.940 money that
00:30:51.380 has spent
00:30:51.880 so far on
00:30:52.560 Ukraine.
00:30:53.700 It wouldn't
00:30:54.440 take long.
00:30:57.120 Now, of
00:30:57.780 course, it
00:30:58.100 wouldn't, you
00:30:58.820 know, the
00:31:00.100 weapons makers
00:31:02.000 are not the
00:31:02.720 taxpayers, but
00:31:03.880 at least it
00:31:04.280 would be
00:31:04.380 coming back
00:31:04.880 to the
00:31:05.140 homeland.
00:31:07.140 So that's
00:31:07.940 good.
00:31:09.760 And a lot
00:31:11.820 of that, I
00:31:12.400 guess half
00:31:12.780 of that is
00:31:13.200 for drones,
00:31:14.060 $50 billion
00:31:14.780 for drone
00:31:15.660 production.
00:31:16.500 Wow, that's
00:31:18.080 a lot.

00:31:35.620 There is a
00:31:37.080 report that
00:31:39.720 Putin has
00:31:40.640 agreed that
00:31:42.540 the United
00:31:43.140 States could
00:31:44.680 be part of
00:31:45.320 a peace
00:31:47.320 settlement or
00:31:48.500 security
00:31:49.460 guarantee.
00:31:51.620 Now, I'm
00:31:52.480 not sure that
00:31:53.400 Putin has
00:31:53.920 really agreed
00:31:54.600 to that,
00:31:55.280 or maybe
00:31:56.080 there's some
00:31:56.620 details we
00:31:57.440 don't know
00:31:57.880 about that,
00:31:59.180 but would
00:32:01.480 Putin really
00:32:02.240 agree to
00:32:04.100 a NATO-like
00:32:05.840 or a
00:32:07.280 NATO-ish
00:32:07.980 situation
00:32:08.860 when his
00:32:10.020 biggest problem
00:32:10.800 is he doesn't
00:32:11.480 want NATO
00:32:12.020 there.
00:32:13.160 Oh, no, as
00:32:13.840 long as you
00:32:14.320 don't call it
00:32:15.080 NATO and
00:32:16.360 they don't pay
00:32:16.920 any dues,
00:32:18.020 oh, that's
00:32:18.440 fine.
00:32:19.660 So, I'm
00:32:20.620 having trouble
00:32:21.240 believing that
00:32:23.180 Putin would
00:32:24.900 really agree to
00:32:26.820 Americans having
00:32:27.820 such a presence
00:32:28.720 there that they
00:32:29.500 were the
00:32:29.920 security guarantee.
00:32:32.020 Now, that
00:32:32.680 doesn't mean that
00:32:33.400 we would have
00:32:33.880 troops on the
00:32:34.660 ground, but
00:32:35.980 it does mean
00:32:36.700 that we would
00:32:37.260 commit to
00:32:37.900 respond if
00:32:39.240 Russia went
00:32:40.060 deeper into
00:32:40.680 Ukraine.
00:32:42.180 So, do you
00:32:42.980 believe that
00:32:43.580 Putin has
00:32:45.180 said yes to
00:32:45.980 that?
00:32:46.940 That'd be a
00:32:47.800 weird change.
00:32:49.420 I'm going to
00:32:50.000 say I'm
00:32:50.540 skeptical that
00:32:51.520 Putin's okay
00:32:52.380 with that.
00:32:53.300 We'll see.
00:32:55.700 And I
00:32:56.300 would still
00:32:58.480 say that the
00:32:59.360 best way to
00:32:59.980 resolve the
00:33:00.740 territories that
00:33:01.760 are in
00:33:02.460 dispute is
00:33:03.860 with a
00:33:04.260 referendum, but
00:33:05.640 I'm going to
00:33:05.980 add a little
00:33:06.380 nuance to
00:33:07.120 that.
00:33:08.080 You don't
00:33:08.600 have to have
00:33:09.280 the referendum
00:33:10.380 done right
00:33:11.160 away.
00:33:12.540 Suppose you
00:33:13.360 said, all
00:33:14.700 right, Russia,
00:33:15.880 we're going to
00:33:16.280 have a
00:33:16.580 referendum, and
00:33:17.320 then the
00:33:17.640 people who
00:33:18.180 live in
00:33:18.500 these disputed
00:33:19.380 territories,
00:33:20.420 only the
00:33:20.940 residents, will
00:33:22.120 get to decide
00:33:22.980 if Russia or
00:33:24.260 Ukraine owns
00:33:26.580 them.
00:33:27.920 But, and
00:33:28.940 then you say,
00:33:29.800 but we don't
00:33:30.380 have the right
00:33:30.860 situation to do
00:33:31.840 the referendum
00:33:32.520 because there's
00:33:33.420 too much, you
00:33:34.000 know, war-torn
00:33:34.820 problems there.
00:33:36.020 So we're
00:33:36.840 definitely going
00:33:37.420 to do a
00:33:37.800 referendum, but
00:33:39.220 we're going to
00:33:39.620 plan it for a
00:33:40.800 year from now.
00:33:42.420 So we can
00:33:43.280 stop fighting
00:33:44.020 right away, and
00:33:45.660 then later
00:33:46.260 separately, we
00:33:47.580 will very
00:33:48.040 peacefully decide
00:33:49.260 through a
00:33:49.760 referendum where
00:33:51.040 this land goes.
00:33:52.540 But it doesn't
00:33:53.040 have to be right
00:33:53.620 away.
00:33:55.600 Now, what is
00:33:56.600 Russia going to
00:33:57.240 do?
00:33:58.140 Are they going
00:33:58.640 to say, no,
00:34:00.440 if the
00:34:00.860 residents want
00:34:01.620 to go to
00:34:01.980 Ukraine, we're
00:34:02.720 not going to
00:34:03.160 let them?
00:34:04.660 Well, that
00:34:05.280 would not be
00:34:05.940 consistent with
00:34:07.020 how they tried
00:34:07.560 to frame their
00:34:08.360 involvement.
00:34:09.540 You know, they
00:34:09.820 tried to frame
00:34:10.840 it like they're
00:34:11.340 saving the
00:34:11.940 residents.
00:34:13.400 But it
00:34:14.420 would allow
00:34:15.000 us to do
00:34:16.560 an end to
00:34:17.160 the war, even
00:34:18.600 if that
00:34:19.100 referendum never
00:34:19.980 happened, and
00:34:21.260 it just kept
00:34:21.800 getting pushed
00:34:22.440 down the, you
00:34:23.480 know, pushed
00:34:23.860 down the path.
00:34:25.760 The other
00:34:28.120 problem that
00:34:29.240 Zelensky says
00:34:30.240 is that the
00:34:31.020 Ukrainian
00:34:32.260 constitution doesn't
00:34:34.200 allow him to
00:34:35.020 trade land for
00:34:36.300 peace.
00:34:37.420 But it seems
00:34:38.440 like that would
00:34:39.020 be easy to get
00:34:39.940 around.
00:34:41.440 And the way to
00:34:42.040 get around it
00:34:42.900 would be to
00:34:43.980 say, it's no
00:34:45.580 longer your
00:34:46.220 territory.
00:34:47.500 It would be
00:34:48.280 one thing if
00:34:49.840 he gave away
00:34:50.500 land that he
00:34:51.140 owned, but he
00:34:52.520 doesn't own that
00:34:53.180 land.
00:34:54.100 You can't give
00:34:55.180 away something
00:34:55.900 that somebody
00:34:56.600 already has.
00:34:58.360 So I feel
00:34:59.740 like they
00:35:00.080 could get
00:35:00.440 around that
00:35:00.960 constitution thing
00:35:02.120 by saying,
00:35:03.380 all right, we
00:35:03.800 already lost
00:35:04.620 that land, so
00:35:06.020 it's not ours
00:35:07.540 to give away
00:35:08.420 or not give
00:35:08.980 away.
00:35:09.400 It's already
00:35:10.020 gone.
00:35:11.380 And then you
00:35:12.000 go from there.
00:35:13.280 So I feel
00:35:14.260 like the
00:35:14.600 constitutional
00:35:15.140 thing, you
00:35:15.900 could just
00:35:16.300 define it
00:35:17.060 away, basically.
00:35:21.900 Trump says,
00:35:23.380 according to
00:35:24.120 Just the News,
00:35:25.180 that the
00:35:26.040 Russia-Ukraine
00:35:26.920 war, if
00:35:27.360 he can get
00:35:27.840 it solved,
00:35:28.840 is the
00:35:29.280 last conflict
00:35:30.240 he needs
00:35:30.800 to resolve.
00:35:32.300 Do you
00:35:32.980 see the
00:35:33.560 beauty of
00:35:34.080 that statement?
00:35:35.260 It's the
00:35:35.680 last conflict
00:35:36.560 he needs
00:35:37.140 to resolve.
00:35:38.400 The beauty
00:35:39.260 of that is
00:35:40.480 that he's
00:35:40.980 making you
00:35:41.460 think past
00:35:42.100 the sale.
00:35:43.360 The sale
00:35:44.080 is whether
00:35:45.240 or not he
00:35:45.760 can get it
00:35:46.260 done.
00:35:47.240 But he's
00:35:47.800 already made
00:35:48.320 you think
00:35:48.900 about what
00:35:50.420 it's like to
00:35:50.980 have them
00:35:51.300 all done.
00:35:53.200 It's a
00:35:53.700 perfect technique.
00:35:56.040 He also
00:35:56.720 uses
00:35:57.180 repetition.
00:35:59.180 He just
00:35:59.840 keeps saying,
00:36:00.740 oh yeah, I
00:36:01.120 think we can
00:36:01.600 get this
00:36:01.980 done.
00:36:02.380 We've got to
00:36:02.700 get this
00:36:03.040 done.
00:36:03.400 We've got to
00:36:03.720 stop killing.
00:36:04.380 We've got to
00:36:04.720 get it done.
00:36:06.040 Repetition
00:36:06.480 really matters
00:36:07.600 for persuasion.
00:36:10.100 So he's got
00:36:10.480 that right.
00:36:11.340 So he's got
00:36:11.780 the repetition
00:36:12.440 and he's
00:36:13.120 making us
00:36:13.580 think past
00:36:14.480 the ending
00:36:14.960 of it.
00:36:15.600 That's all
00:36:16.060 good.
00:36:17.040 But here's
00:36:17.620 the best
00:36:18.020 part.
00:36:19.140 Remember I
00:36:19.640 always told
00:36:20.220 you that
00:36:20.580 reality follows
00:36:21.600 the best
00:36:22.140 story.
00:36:24.140 The best
00:36:24.580 story.
00:36:26.060 So if you're
00:36:26.680 watching a big
00:36:27.380 let's say
00:36:27.960 Super Bowl
00:36:28.800 and there
00:36:30.080 are two
00:36:30.800 quarterbacks
00:36:32.380 that are
00:36:33.160 famous,
00:36:34.420 one of them
00:36:35.060 often has a
00:36:35.720 better story.
00:36:37.120 So it might
00:36:37.480 be somebody
00:36:37.960 for example
00:36:38.520 who had
00:36:39.300 been fired
00:36:39.960 by the
00:36:41.220 very team
00:36:41.920 that they
00:36:42.300 end up
00:36:42.660 playing in
00:36:43.120 the Super
00:36:43.500 Bowl.
00:36:44.540 Now if
00:36:45.180 that quarterback
00:36:45.880 wins after
00:36:47.400 being fired
00:36:48.180 by the
00:36:48.600 team that
00:36:49.000 they're
00:36:49.120 playing,
00:36:50.180 well that's
00:36:50.620 a better
00:36:50.920 story.
00:36:51.900 So it's
00:36:52.320 more likely
00:36:52.840 that that
00:36:53.340 quarterback
00:36:53.760 will win
00:36:54.500 because it
00:36:55.440 would make
00:36:55.800 a better
00:36:56.120 story.
00:36:58.060 Do you
00:36:58.280 know what
00:36:58.480 would make
00:36:58.780 a great
00:36:59.260 story with
00:37:00.640 the ending
00:37:01.120 of the
00:37:01.840 Ukraine
00:37:02.980 war?
00:37:03.940 The great
00:37:04.720 story would
00:37:06.020 be that
00:37:06.360 Trump came
00:37:06.940 in office
00:37:07.480 and ended
00:37:08.440 all war
00:37:09.160 everywhere on
00:37:09.820 the planet.
00:37:11.360 That's the
00:37:12.180 best story.
00:37:13.480 You can't
00:37:14.260 get a better
00:37:14.740 story.
00:37:16.500 Now given
00:37:17.240 the power
00:37:17.880 of that
00:37:18.260 story and
00:37:20.040 knowing that
00:37:20.720 wars all
00:37:21.960 have to
00:37:22.260 end,
00:37:22.780 eventually
00:37:23.180 they have
00:37:23.540 to end,
00:37:24.760 that is a
00:37:26.620 really strong
00:37:27.460 base because
00:37:29.080 other people
00:37:29.780 are going to
00:37:30.120 have the
00:37:30.420 same feeling.
00:37:31.440 Wow, this
00:37:32.460 is the last
00:37:33.080 one he has
00:37:33.600 to solve and
00:37:34.220 then he solved
00:37:34.800 all wars on
00:37:35.500 earth.
00:37:36.640 There must be
00:37:37.480 other wars I
00:37:38.160 don't know
00:37:38.480 about.
00:37:38.900 There's always
00:37:39.260 a bunch of
00:37:40.140 little ones
00:37:40.640 going on.
00:37:42.240 But it
00:37:42.780 would make
00:37:43.080 the best
00:37:43.440 story if
00:37:45.220 this president
00:37:45.960 who got
00:37:47.060 shot in
00:37:47.560 the ear
00:37:48.060 was impeached
00:37:49.280 twice as
00:37:50.000 34 felony
00:37:51.020 counts and
00:37:52.320 was down
00:37:53.000 and out
00:37:53.480 but came
00:37:54.140 back against
00:37:54.880 all odds
00:37:55.560 and he
00:37:56.380 didn't just
00:37:56.920 come back
00:37:57.680 he ended
00:38:00.060 all war on
00:38:00.860 earth.
00:38:02.220 Is there a
00:38:03.120 better story
00:38:03.820 than that?
00:38:05.420 No.
00:38:06.640 No, there's
00:38:07.120 not.
00:38:07.600 There's nothing
00:38:08.300 that would be a
00:38:08.900 better story
00:38:09.520 than that.
00:38:10.100 So, if I
00:38:12.220 had to
00:38:12.580 predict, I
00:38:14.180 don't think
00:38:14.520 it'll happen
00:38:15.020 soon necessarily
00:38:16.320 but yeah,
00:38:17.280 you'll get
00:38:17.600 it done.
00:38:21.660 I guess
00:38:22.420 Trump was
00:38:23.120 caught on
00:38:23.800 a hot mic
00:38:24.440 talking to
00:38:25.280 Macron and
00:38:27.360 he said,
00:38:28.100 quote,
00:38:28.720 talking about
00:38:29.660 Putin, he
00:38:30.280 says, I
00:38:31.000 think he
00:38:31.380 wants to
00:38:31.800 make a
00:38:32.140 deal for
00:38:32.760 me.
00:38:33.880 You
00:38:34.060 understand
00:38:34.500 that?
00:38:35.060 As crazy
00:38:36.260 as it
00:38:36.720 sounds.
00:38:37.660 Then
00:38:37.840 Macron was
00:38:38.660 just diplomatic
00:38:39.400 and he
00:38:39.820 said, yeah,
00:38:40.900 any deal
00:38:41.700 would be
00:38:41.960 great news.
00:38:44.580 But what
00:38:45.320 about that
00:38:46.580 framing?
00:38:48.060 Trump says
00:38:48.780 that Putin
00:38:49.240 wants to
00:38:49.660 do it
00:38:50.100 for him
00:38:51.860 and that
00:38:54.020 part of
00:38:55.720 Putin's
00:38:56.120 motivation
00:38:56.760 might be
00:38:58.400 to get
00:38:58.780 this done
00:38:59.380 for Trump.
00:39:01.320 Does that
00:39:02.000 sound real?
00:39:03.720 I do
00:39:04.520 believe Putin
00:39:05.480 might have
00:39:05.880 said something
00:39:06.640 like that
00:39:07.200 because that
00:39:07.600 would be
00:39:07.860 good persuasion
00:39:08.760 too.
00:39:09.400 And he
00:39:09.580 would know
00:39:09.900 it would
00:39:10.200 work on
00:39:10.660 Trump.
00:39:13.480 But I
00:39:14.200 also think
00:39:15.040 that another
00:39:15.880 way to
00:39:16.260 look at
00:39:16.580 that is
00:39:17.700 that Putin
00:39:18.340 knows that
00:39:19.060 if he does
00:39:19.820 something for
00:39:20.400 Trump,
00:39:21.440 Trump's going
00:39:22.120 to respond
00:39:22.700 in kind.
00:39:25.080 So I do
00:39:25.920 believe that
00:39:27.080 Putin wants
00:39:27.660 to get it
00:39:28.120 done under
00:39:28.820 the Trump
00:39:29.360 administration.
00:39:30.740 Because if
00:39:31.340 he can do
00:39:31.800 that, then
00:39:33.060 he's got
00:39:33.460 something that
00:39:34.140 Trump will
00:39:34.600 say, all
00:39:35.020 right, you
00:39:35.820 did that for
00:39:36.680 me.
00:39:37.620 Didn't have
00:39:38.120 to do it
00:39:38.460 the way
00:39:38.680 you did
00:39:38.980 it, but
00:39:39.260 you did
00:39:39.560 it for
00:39:39.800 me.
00:39:40.800 Now, when
00:39:42.200 I'm negotiating
00:39:42.960 these sanctions
00:39:43.900 and stuff
00:39:44.500 like that,
00:39:45.200 well, maybe
00:39:45.580 I owe you
00:39:46.040 one.
00:39:47.080 So I
00:39:47.540 think it's
00:39:47.900 more about
00:39:48.380 Putin knowing
00:39:49.040 that he
00:39:49.380 wants to
00:39:49.780 have the
00:39:50.720 president of
00:39:51.260 the United
00:39:51.560 States owe
00:39:52.500 him one.
00:39:54.780 So in
00:39:55.400 that sense,
00:39:56.420 he might be
00:39:56.920 doing it
00:39:57.360 for Trump.
00:39:58.060 Let's
00:40:02.160 see.
00:40:03.400 I guess
00:40:04.080 Trump and
00:40:05.380 Zelensky had
00:40:06.180 some joking
00:40:07.500 around in
00:40:08.080 the Oval
00:40:08.440 Office.
00:40:09.140 Not the
00:40:09.580 Oval
00:40:09.820 Office, but
00:40:10.420 afterwards when
00:40:11.200 they sit in
00:40:11.880 those two
00:40:12.580 chairs awkwardly.
00:40:15.460 And Zelensky,
00:40:16.620 as you know,
00:40:17.380 canceled Ukrainian
00:40:18.340 elections because
00:40:19.480 he was in the
00:40:20.480 middle of a
00:40:20.820 war.
00:40:22.240 And Trump
00:40:23.460 joked that he
00:40:24.500 might follow
00:40:25.040 Zelensky's lead
00:40:26.000 and cancel the
00:40:26.820 2028 election.
00:40:28.060 Now, I
00:40:31.700 can't believe
00:40:32.620 that Trump
00:40:34.080 keeps doing
00:40:34.860 this because
00:40:35.900 he's just
00:40:36.360 poking the
00:40:37.040 Democrats.
00:40:38.440 And it's
00:40:39.160 wild to
00:40:39.740 watch.
00:40:41.260 I wouldn't
00:40:42.140 recommend it.
00:40:43.300 And I
00:40:43.720 definitely
00:40:44.000 wouldn't
00:40:44.320 recommend any
00:40:44.980 of you copy
00:40:45.720 this technique.
00:40:47.220 But Trump
00:40:48.160 might be the
00:40:48.820 only person in
00:40:49.620 the world who
00:40:50.660 could joke
00:40:51.200 about this and
00:40:52.680 just get away
00:40:53.360 with it.
00:40:54.240 If it makes
00:40:54.820 them talk about
00:40:55.640 this instead
00:40:57.040 of other
00:40:57.480 things,
00:40:58.060 well, it's
00:40:58.940 probably to
00:40:59.380 his advantage.
00:41:01.160 So he
00:41:02.240 just loves
00:41:02.880 poking that
00:41:03.480 bear.
00:41:07.700 Do you
00:41:08.440 remember when
00:41:10.300 all the smart
00:41:11.500 people were
00:41:12.620 saying that
00:41:13.660 the other
00:41:14.140 countries don't
00:41:15.220 respect Trump
00:41:16.280 in the first
00:41:17.380 term especially?
00:41:19.300 Do you
00:41:19.480 remember that?
00:41:19.920 And even
00:41:22.080 if you liked
00:41:22.780 Trump, you
00:41:24.180 might have
00:41:24.520 said to
00:41:24.800 yourself,
00:41:25.360 well, I
00:41:26.460 have to
00:41:26.760 admit, those
00:41:27.660 other countries
00:41:28.400 don't seem to
00:41:29.160 be respecting
00:41:29.820 them.
00:41:30.280 They should,
00:41:31.600 but I don't
00:41:32.080 think they
00:41:32.420 are.
00:41:33.440 Well, what do
00:41:34.240 you think
00:41:34.480 now?
00:41:35.800 Now that you
00:41:36.520 got all of
00:41:37.160 Europe to
00:41:37.660 come over on
00:41:38.540 short notice,
00:41:39.420 you've got
00:41:39.800 Putin taking
00:41:40.480 his phone
00:41:41.000 calls and
00:41:42.100 coming to
00:41:42.920 Alaska,
00:41:43.600 and he's
00:41:44.460 working on
00:41:45.200 arguably the
00:41:46.000 most important
00:41:46.760 topic and
00:41:48.080 he'll probably
00:41:48.500 get it done
00:41:49.160 eventually,
00:41:50.160 maybe not
00:41:50.640 right away.
00:41:52.900 But when you
00:41:53.680 saw the
00:41:54.200 photos of
00:41:55.780 the Oval
00:41:56.200 Office with
00:41:57.300 all the
00:41:57.600 European leaders
00:41:58.420 in there and
00:41:59.000 Zelensky and
00:41:59.840 Trump's behind
00:42:00.440 his desk and
00:42:01.720 all the rest
00:42:02.300 look like
00:42:03.100 visitors who
00:42:03.900 are in their
00:42:04.520 chairs around
00:42:05.160 the room,
00:42:06.380 it's hard to
00:42:07.340 imagine that
00:42:09.020 the rest of
00:42:09.520 the world has
00:42:10.060 a negative
00:42:10.500 opinion of
00:42:11.180 them.
00:42:11.800 I don't
00:42:12.220 think they
00:42:12.620 do.
00:42:13.600 I think
00:42:14.100 they're just
00:42:14.500 going to
00:42:14.780 pay their
00:42:15.180 tariffs and
00:42:15.880 hope he
00:42:16.280 can end
00:42:16.660 all war.
00:42:20.060 Anyway,
00:42:21.400 and according
00:42:24.740 to the
00:42:25.280 Finland
00:42:25.780 president,
00:42:27.800 he said
00:42:28.800 that in
00:42:29.180 the past
00:42:29.560 two weeks
00:42:30.120 we've had
00:42:30.540 more progress
00:42:31.360 toward ending
00:42:32.260 this war
00:42:32.820 than in the
00:42:33.240 past three
00:42:33.760 and a half
00:42:34.020 years.
00:42:35.020 Now,
00:42:35.580 I would
00:42:36.120 debate
00:42:37.580 whether there's
00:42:38.800 progress,
00:42:40.100 because the
00:42:40.540 only thing
00:42:41.140 that matters
00:42:41.700 is who
00:42:43.040 gets what
00:42:43.500 land,
00:42:44.300 and that's
00:42:44.760 nowhere near
00:42:45.460 settled.
00:42:47.060 So,
00:42:47.980 the fact
00:42:50.660 that it's
00:42:50.960 not settled
00:42:51.980 and it
00:42:52.580 doesn't look
00:42:53.000 like it
00:42:53.300 will be,
00:42:54.000 I'm not
00:42:54.480 really sure
00:42:55.040 there's any
00:42:55.540 progress,
00:42:56.800 but if they
00:42:57.720 all feel like
00:42:58.460 there's progress,
00:43:00.200 this adds to
00:43:01.340 that feeling
00:43:02.000 that it's
00:43:02.400 inevitable.
00:43:03.800 What you
00:43:04.500 would want
00:43:05.140 is for
00:43:05.880 Putin to
00:43:06.640 feel that
00:43:07.940 ending the
00:43:08.440 war is
00:43:08.780 inevitable,
00:43:09.240 inevitable,
00:43:09.980 and that
00:43:10.440 there's
00:43:10.840 progress
00:43:11.380 toward making
00:43:12.000 it happen,
00:43:12.860 because just
00:43:13.900 putting him
00:43:14.460 in that
00:43:14.760 frame of
00:43:15.700 mind is
00:43:17.680 going to
00:43:17.940 get him a
00:43:18.280 lot closer
00:43:18.760 to changing
00:43:19.340 his mind
00:43:19.840 if he
00:43:20.140 needs to
00:43:20.640 on any
00:43:22.020 land.
00:43:22.820 Same with
00:43:23.320 Zelensky.
00:43:25.420 So,
00:43:25.980 I guess the
00:43:26.380 plan is
00:43:27.360 that Zelensky
00:43:28.920 and Putin
00:43:29.420 will meet,
00:43:30.280 and if that
00:43:30.860 goes well,
00:43:32.180 then Trump
00:43:32.700 will meet
00:43:33.100 with the two
00:43:33.540 of them
00:43:33.840 as a
00:43:34.220 trilateral.
00:43:34.820 I don't
00:43:35.700 know where
00:43:35.980 I guess
00:43:36.700 that leaves
00:43:37.180 out the
00:43:37.640 European
00:43:38.040 leaders,
00:43:39.080 but maybe
00:43:40.100 they won't
00:43:40.500 mind,
00:43:40.880 I don't
00:43:41.080 know.
00:43:42.920 So,
00:43:43.480 that's
00:43:43.760 coming.
00:43:45.540 Trilateral,
00:43:46.460 you're going
00:43:46.780 to hear that
00:43:47.120 word a lot,
00:43:47.980 trilateral.
00:43:49.900 Well,
00:43:50.260 Hamas has
00:43:51.220 accepted a
00:43:52.520 Gaza
00:43:53.600 ceasefire
00:43:54.480 proposal from
00:43:55.840 a bunch of
00:43:56.540 Arab
00:43:56.900 mediators.
00:43:58.840 So,
00:43:59.600 that's good
00:44:00.100 news,
00:44:00.520 right?
00:44:01.680 No,
00:44:02.880 because
00:44:03.600 Israel's
00:44:04.600 there's no
00:44:05.480 chance that
00:44:06.000 Israel's going
00:44:06.640 to accept
00:44:07.060 it.
00:44:07.640 So,
00:44:07.860 Israel is
00:44:08.580 not thinking
00:44:09.180 about a
00:44:09.600 ceasefire.
00:44:10.640 They're
00:44:10.860 thinking about
00:44:11.520 relocating
00:44:12.240 hundreds of
00:44:13.020 thousands of
00:44:13.720 people and
00:44:15.200 controlling the
00:44:16.620 25% of Gaza
00:44:18.000 that they have
00:44:18.760 not yet
00:44:19.300 completely
00:44:20.100 controlled.
00:44:21.520 So,
00:44:22.900 their take
00:44:23.720 is that we
00:44:24.840 want all the
00:44:25.520 hostages back,
00:44:27.040 but we're not
00:44:27.820 going to do
00:44:28.140 the ceasefire
00:44:28.920 thing anymore.
00:44:29.840 That's what it
00:44:30.260 looks like.
00:44:31.020 It looks like
00:44:31.700 Israel's just
00:44:32.680 decided they're
00:44:33.320 going to end
00:44:33.780 this.
00:44:34.600 Even at the
00:44:35.700 expense of
00:44:36.440 their hostages.
00:44:38.040 They won't
00:44:38.660 say that out
00:44:39.300 loud,
00:44:39.600 of course.
00:44:40.800 But it
00:44:41.480 does look to
00:44:42.040 me like
00:44:42.420 they're not
00:44:42.840 going to
00:44:43.100 save hostages
00:44:43.980 if it
00:44:45.420 would slow
00:44:45.860 them down
00:44:46.340 from completely
00:44:47.160 depopulating
00:44:48.040 and having
00:44:50.200 a command and
00:44:51.060 control of
00:44:51.680 Gaza forever.
00:44:53.640 So,
00:44:53.980 I think the
00:44:54.620 larger,
00:44:56.140 just,
00:44:57.040 you know,
00:44:57.260 I'm not in
00:44:57.840 their heads,
00:44:58.340 so I can't
00:44:58.760 read their
00:44:59.080 minds,
00:44:59.740 but it
00:45:00.020 does look
00:45:00.420 like the
00:45:00.800 larger goal
00:45:02.960 is a
00:45:04.120 complete
00:45:04.560 control of
00:45:05.380 Gaza,
00:45:06.400 even if
00:45:07.040 it's not
00:45:08.700 the ideal
00:45:09.500 situation for
00:45:10.400 getting back
00:45:10.880 hostages.
00:45:13.280 Anyway, I
00:45:13.920 wouldn't expect
00:45:14.560 anything to
00:45:15.120 happen from
00:45:15.560 that.
00:45:15.760 Well, the
00:45:19.800 State Department
00:45:20.560 has reportedly
00:45:21.520 revoked
00:45:22.360 6,000 foreign
00:45:24.420 student visas
00:45:25.920 visas because
00:45:27.160 these foreign
00:45:28.180 students were
00:45:28.980 accused,
00:45:29.900 I'm reading
00:45:30.400 this in
00:45:30.820 red state,
00:45:32.060 accused of
00:45:33.440 various crimes.
00:45:35.840 So, some
00:45:36.460 of it is
00:45:36.920 overstaying,
00:45:38.120 you know,
00:45:38.300 just staying
00:45:38.760 longer than
00:45:39.300 their visa.
00:45:40.400 But there
00:45:41.120 are other
00:45:41.400 law violations
00:45:42.320 and some
00:45:42.940 of them
00:45:43.220 are fomenting
00:45:44.160 terroristic
00:45:45.100 views.
00:45:47.100 According to
00:45:47.960 who?
00:45:48.280 I don't know,
00:45:48.920 whoever makes
00:45:49.520 that decision.
00:45:50.940 But 6,000?
00:45:53.080 Can you believe
00:45:53.740 that 6,000
00:45:55.440 students are
00:45:57.140 being shipped
00:45:57.680 home for
00:45:58.160 bad behavior?
00:45:59.620 6,000?
00:46:01.620 That's a lot.
00:46:03.620 Wow.
00:46:04.500 I would guess
00:46:05.560 their violations
00:46:07.140 were not big
00:46:07.900 ones.
00:46:09.080 And I don't
00:46:09.580 know what
00:46:09.880 percentage of
00:46:10.540 them are just
00:46:11.160 student visa
00:46:12.180 overstays.
00:46:13.420 You know,
00:46:13.580 that would be
00:46:13.920 the lowest
00:46:15.200 level of crime,
00:46:16.520 I guess,
00:46:17.780 would be
00:46:18.120 overstaying your
00:46:18.960 visa.
00:46:20.420 But if you
00:46:21.300 do, you
00:46:21.940 got to go
00:46:22.320 home.
00:46:22.560 Well, the
00:46:24.200 FDA has
00:46:24.980 greenlit a
00:46:25.860 new lab
00:46:26.800 grown salmon.
00:46:28.680 So it's
00:46:29.420 going to look
00:46:29.880 like a salmon
00:46:30.620 and maybe
00:46:31.840 taste like
00:46:32.580 it, but
00:46:33.580 it would be
00:46:34.000 made out of
00:46:34.540 cells that
00:46:35.420 they grew
00:46:35.760 in a lab
00:46:36.480 and then
00:46:36.980 they added
00:46:37.360 some vegetable
00:46:38.060 stuff to
00:46:38.720 it and
00:46:39.140 made it
00:46:39.620 taste right,
00:46:40.720 according to
00:46:41.740 the Smithsonian
00:46:42.620 Magazine.
00:46:45.060 And so we
00:46:46.740 may have
00:46:47.200 the first
00:46:48.520 lab grown
00:46:49.540 cultured
00:46:50.720 fish.
00:46:51.120 fish.
00:46:52.160 Now, here's
00:46:53.180 the weird
00:46:53.500 thing.
00:46:54.300 I'm a
00:46:54.840 pescatarian,
00:46:55.960 so I
00:46:56.420 eat fish.
00:46:57.920 I don't
00:46:58.600 love it.
00:46:59.520 In fact, I
00:47:00.120 don't really
00:47:00.840 like any
00:47:01.380 fish, but
00:47:02.100 I eat them
00:47:02.560 because protein.
00:47:06.460 But even
00:47:07.060 I'm grossed
00:47:07.880 out by this
00:47:08.600 lab grown
00:47:09.560 meat.
00:47:10.780 You would
00:47:11.340 think that I
00:47:11.920 would be more
00:47:12.460 grossed out by
00:47:13.720 the thought of
00:47:14.300 eating a dead
00:47:15.220 animal or
00:47:17.240 dead fish.
00:47:18.100 fish, but
00:47:19.140 eating a
00:47:19.720 dead fish
00:47:20.380 for whatever
00:47:21.220 reason feels
00:47:22.600 more palatable
00:47:23.420 than this
00:47:24.100 lab grown
00:47:24.960 frankenfish
00:47:26.500 monstrosity.
00:47:28.260 But I'm
00:47:28.840 sure it's
00:47:29.220 fine.
00:47:30.900 So here's
00:47:31.840 a real
00:47:32.140 story.
00:47:35.620 Yesterday, I
00:47:37.400 said to
00:47:37.780 myself, I'm
00:47:38.500 not going to
00:47:38.920 tell anybody,
00:47:40.080 but I'm
00:47:40.740 going to
00:47:41.020 order a
00:47:41.660 steak on
00:47:43.020 DoorDash
00:47:43.580 because I
00:47:44.220 don't want to
00:47:44.560 have to
00:47:44.800 prepare it.
00:47:45.440 I'm going
00:47:46.340 to buy a
00:47:46.860 steak and
00:47:47.800 then maybe
00:47:49.000 I'll change
00:47:49.760 my mind and
00:47:50.300 not eat it.
00:47:50.900 I haven't
00:47:51.240 eaten steak
00:47:52.040 in, I
00:47:53.260 don't know,
00:47:53.460 40 years,
00:47:54.500 a long time,
00:47:55.280 about 40
00:47:55.820 years, I
00:47:56.200 guess.
00:47:57.220 And I
00:47:59.020 thought, well,
00:47:59.500 I just won't
00:47:59.940 tell anybody
00:48:00.700 because then if
00:48:01.720 I change my
00:48:02.480 mind, I don't
00:48:03.040 have to explain
00:48:03.820 it.
00:48:04.380 But, you
00:48:05.200 know, so I
00:48:06.640 go to DoorDash
00:48:07.440 and I start
00:48:08.500 shopping for a
00:48:10.020 steak.
00:48:12.420 Do you know
00:48:13.180 what a steak
00:48:13.820 costs?
00:48:15.440 Oh, my
00:48:16.940 God.
00:48:18.680 The steaks
00:48:19.940 locally were
00:48:20.840 $54 just
00:48:23.020 for the
00:48:23.420 steak.
00:48:23.980 If you
00:48:24.540 wanted something
00:48:25.080 on the side
00:48:25.820 or a
00:48:26.240 beverage, well,
00:48:27.460 there's more.
00:48:28.400 And then you've
00:48:28.760 got the delivery
00:48:29.480 fee and then
00:48:30.380 you've got the
00:48:30.860 tip.
00:48:32.120 And I'm
00:48:32.360 thinking to
00:48:32.740 myself, am I
00:48:33.460 really going to
00:48:33.900 pay, I
00:48:34.860 don't know,
00:48:35.480 $150 for a
00:48:37.280 steak or
00:48:38.100 whatever it
00:48:38.520 was when you
00:48:39.500 add everything
00:48:40.100 in, maybe
00:48:40.560 $100 for a
00:48:42.100 steak.
00:48:42.700 And I
00:48:43.500 actually changed
00:48:44.460 my mind
00:48:45.240 because if
00:48:47.760 I liked
00:48:48.260 it, I
00:48:49.640 didn't want
00:48:50.080 to spend
00:48:50.420 $54 every
00:48:51.780 time I
00:48:52.220 ate.
00:48:53.580 So I'm
00:48:55.620 doing okay
00:48:56.880 financially.
00:48:58.820 Like, I don't
00:48:59.660 have any, you
00:49:00.620 know, money
00:49:01.140 problems.
00:49:02.340 But even I
00:49:03.560 wouldn't buy a
00:49:04.220 $54 steak.
00:49:07.280 Do any of
00:49:08.360 you buy
00:49:08.860 $54 steaks?
00:49:10.380 is it only
00:49:12.200 because it
00:49:12.680 was on
00:49:13.000 DoorDash?
00:49:15.620 Now, I
00:49:16.200 understand that
00:49:17.660 it would be
00:49:18.000 cheaper if you
00:49:18.740 buy your own
00:49:19.280 cut of meat and
00:49:20.080 cook it at
00:49:20.640 home and
00:49:21.080 stuff, but I
00:49:22.420 had no idea
00:49:23.120 that a steak
00:49:23.660 was that
00:49:24.060 expensive now.
00:49:25.120 I knew the
00:49:25.580 price was up,
00:49:26.400 but my God,
00:49:27.200 $54 for a
00:49:28.620 steak?
00:49:29.920 Incredible.
00:49:32.660 Well, Trump
00:49:33.500 is going all
00:49:36.620 Don Quixote on
00:49:37.740 the windmills
00:49:39.120 in New Jersey
00:49:39.860 says they're
00:49:41.060 not dependable
00:49:41.820 and they raise
00:49:42.500 electricity prices
00:49:43.760 and he wants
00:49:44.180 to get rid
00:49:44.740 of windmills.
00:49:46.520 Do you think
00:49:47.340 that's another
00:49:47.920 one of those
00:49:48.420 80-20?
00:49:49.760 I don't know
00:49:50.440 if it's 80-20,
00:49:51.920 but I feel
00:49:52.520 like most
00:49:54.000 people, even
00:49:54.680 if they're
00:49:55.060 green, you
00:49:56.300 know, they
00:49:56.600 like green
00:49:57.120 stuff, they
00:49:58.280 probably think
00:49:58.960 the windmills
00:49:59.540 are not the
00:50:00.020 best way to
00:50:00.620 get there.
00:50:01.500 So I feel
00:50:02.200 like Trump
00:50:02.660 has yet
00:50:03.300 again, save
00:50:04.800 the whales,
00:50:05.580 save the
00:50:05.960 birds, you
00:50:07.080 know, don't
00:50:07.420 kill the
00:50:07.760 whales, don't
00:50:08.340 kill the
00:50:08.700 birds, it's
00:50:09.600 ugly, get
00:50:10.860 rid of these
00:50:11.340 windmills.
00:50:12.360 So I think
00:50:12.900 he picked
00:50:13.300 another winning
00:50:14.040 topic, as
00:50:16.220 he does.
00:50:19.040 A lot of
00:50:19.780 you hate
00:50:20.140 windmills, I
00:50:20.800 know, I've
00:50:21.900 heard from
00:50:22.240 you.
00:50:24.340 All right.
00:50:27.000 It's a
00:50:27.740 slow-ish
00:50:29.080 news day
00:50:29.860 until Trump
00:50:30.820 wakes up and
00:50:31.640 starts creating
00:50:32.780 some excitement.
00:50:35.340 moment.
00:50:37.280 Yeah, I'm
00:50:38.220 watching Land
00:50:38.980 Man with
00:50:39.680 Billy Bob
00:50:40.500 Thornton.
00:50:41.680 If you
00:50:42.340 haven't seen
00:50:42.880 that show,
00:50:44.200 Land
00:50:44.560 Man, oh
00:50:46.240 my God, is
00:50:47.080 that well
00:50:47.500 done.
00:50:48.680 The acting,
00:50:49.740 the casting,
00:50:50.700 the writing,
00:50:52.020 the concept,
00:50:54.260 you know, of
00:50:54.860 the people they
00:50:55.480 put together
00:50:56.120 for their, it's
00:50:57.460 really good.
00:50:58.480 It's like one
00:50:58.980 of the best
00:50:59.340 things you'll
00:50:59.760 ever see.
00:51:00.100 they do
00:51:02.700 have at
00:51:03.160 least two
00:51:03.720 scenes where
00:51:04.420 somebody is
00:51:04.960 tied to a
00:51:05.560 chair and
00:51:06.420 tortured.
00:51:07.600 I don't
00:51:08.240 love that, but
00:51:09.580 it was so
00:51:10.220 good that I
00:51:11.800 didn't turn it
00:51:12.420 off because I
00:51:13.020 have a rule.
00:51:14.080 As soon as a
00:51:14.780 movie puts
00:51:15.280 somebody in a
00:51:15.880 chair, ties
00:51:16.500 them to a
00:51:16.880 chair to
00:51:17.220 torture them,
00:51:18.140 as soon as
00:51:18.800 that happens, I
00:51:19.440 turn it off and
00:51:20.220 I will never
00:51:20.660 watch the rest
00:51:21.300 of that movie.
00:51:22.380 But Land
00:51:22.900 Man was so
00:51:23.440 good.
00:51:24.960 I was
00:51:26.640 flexible on
00:51:27.560 that rule.
00:51:30.100 Land Man, I
00:51:32.980 believe, is
00:51:34.000 on Prime
00:51:35.320 Video, only
00:51:37.520 Prime Video, I
00:51:38.480 think.
00:51:39.080 I'm not 100%
00:51:40.080 sure.
00:51:41.680 One of my
00:51:42.400 biggest problems
00:51:43.180 is I have a
00:51:43.780 number of
00:51:44.200 streaming services.
00:51:46.340 Well, it's not
00:51:46.720 my biggest
00:51:47.140 problem, but
00:51:47.880 it's pain in
00:51:48.460 the ass.
00:51:49.300 And I'll
00:51:50.100 start watching
00:51:50.740 something and
00:51:51.460 I'll like it,
00:51:52.460 and then I'll
00:51:53.140 never be able to
00:51:53.920 find it again.
00:51:55.900 Does anybody
00:51:56.580 have that
00:51:56.960 problem?
00:51:58.020 I'll be like,
00:51:58.780 uh, who's
00:51:59.960 that on HBO
00:52:00.800 Max?
00:52:02.180 Then you spend
00:52:02.800 10 minutes
00:52:03.340 looking, it's
00:52:04.020 not.
00:52:04.680 Okay, I
00:52:05.080 think it was
00:52:05.400 on Netflix.
00:52:06.800 Spend 10
00:52:07.320 minutes looking,
00:52:08.080 it's not.
00:52:09.440 Then you're
00:52:10.380 like, okay, I've
00:52:11.080 been here 20
00:52:11.640 minutes, I only
00:52:12.340 had 20 minutes
00:52:13.080 to watch the
00:52:13.620 show, I'm
00:52:14.220 done.
00:52:17.980 Um, all
00:52:19.200 right.
00:52:21.160 It's so hard to
00:52:22.300 find anything to
00:52:23.140 watch, especially
00:52:24.660 even if you've
00:52:25.360 started it.
00:52:26.020 yeah, trying to
00:52:29.100 navigate to the
00:52:30.060 paramount, um,
00:52:31.980 stuff from, from
00:52:33.520 where you are.
00:52:34.460 It's tough.
00:52:37.520 All right.
00:52:38.340 Uh, I'm going
00:52:39.640 to say hi to my
00:52:41.620 beloved subscribers
00:52:43.560 on Locals.

00:52:46.240 I'm hoping to see
00:52:47.160 you tomorrow, same
00:52:48.100 time, same place
00:52:48.960 for more fun.
00:52:50.360 But right now

00:52:52.120 stream, and if
00:52:52.700 this works,

00:53:23.480 are doing
00:53:23.880 the stuff.
