Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2936 CWSA 08⧸23⧸25

00:00:00.000 Oh, there you are. Come on in.

00:00:03.160 Yeah, it's good to see you.

00:00:05.240 Grab a seat. There's always room in the front.

00:00:10.200 See if I can get your comments working.

00:00:12.620 And then, well, then we've got an interactive experience like none other.

00:00:30.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, at least since the Younger Dryas.

00:00:40.020 But you'll have to look it up if that didn't make sense to you.

00:00:43.080 But if you'd like to take a chance of elevating your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:00:52.720 well, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:01:03.680 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:05.720 I like coffee.

00:01:07.280 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope meat hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:13.240 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:01:17.560 Oh, Paul, your timing is amazing.

00:01:25.740 You always catch me looking at the comments just right.

00:01:33.020 All right, after the show today, Owen Gregorian will be hosting, as is now traditional, a Spaces event.

00:01:42.240 So go find Owen Gregorian and Spaces.

00:01:48.080 It's on the X platform.

00:01:49.800 That's the voice-only service.

00:01:52.800 So you can chat and ask questions and get answers and all that.

00:01:57.640 All right.

00:01:59.420 Well, I guess the stock market hit record highs yesterday.

00:02:04.960 After the Fed chair, he hinted that maybe interest rates could be a little bit lower in September.

00:02:13.700 So I don't know if Trump's browbeating of him and insulting and threatening him made any difference at all.

00:02:23.360 Probably not.

00:02:24.760 If it made any difference, probably it was a difference if he delayed it longer than he could have.

00:02:30.460 But maybe good news is coming.

00:02:32.160 However, there is some suggestion that Trump might fire that governor of the Fed.

00:02:41.160 That would be the position below the Fed chair.

00:02:45.360 And the reason would be Bill Pulte and his people found that she allegedly may have lied on some mortgage applications

00:02:57.080 and said she had more than one primary residence, which is impossible.

00:03:02.160 Apparently, it's fairly common.

00:03:05.620 I think 4% of homes or something like that are illegitimately primary residence.

00:03:15.600 So it's a pretty common crime if it turns out she's guilty.

00:03:20.360 I don't know if she is.

00:03:21.300 But that was a lot of pressure to put on the Fed for what could turn out to be no benefit whatsoever.

00:03:29.920 I guess the Fed will be independent.

00:03:32.360 Well, according to Howard Ludnick, Commerce Secretary, I now own a little bit of stock in Intel.

00:03:46.240 I wasn't expecting that.

00:03:48.020 But apparently, the United States, and therefore, as a resident, that would include me, apparently the United States took a 10% stake in Intel.

00:04:01.280 Now, we had talked about that might be happening, but they actually got that done.

00:04:07.020 That's a done deal.

00:04:07.980 Well, they've signed that agreement, I guess.

00:04:11.440 And while some people will say, well, there's another example of fascism where the government owns the companies, to which I say, 10%?

00:04:22.940 That's not owning anything except maybe profits.

00:04:27.520 And the government is uniquely situated to make or break a company, you know, to make it successful.

00:04:36.900 So my guess is this is going to be a tremendously good deal and that Trump has once again found a way to monetize things.

00:04:48.400 He finds bad news and then he monetizes it.

00:04:52.760 And it's basically the same thing he did in his business life.

00:04:58.400 He would find a building that was, you know, suboptimal and then buy it and monetize it by improving it.

00:05:06.300 And he finds every opportunity to do that.

00:05:09.880 So Intel may have been like the property that was suboptimal.

00:05:14.800 And maybe, I assume, now this is an important assumption, it might be wrong, but I'm assuming that there's a pretty specific thing that the government will do for Intel somehow that would make them more likely to succeed.

00:05:32.020 Otherwise, why would they give them 10%?

00:05:35.640 But there will be more to learn about that.

00:05:37.920 All right, here's a story that will sound like it's a joke, but it's not.

00:05:46.120 You know that there's a big software company called Microsoft.

00:05:50.380 I think you've heard of it, Microsoft.

00:05:53.660 Well, Elon Musk is going to start a competing company.

00:05:59.380 Instead of calling it Microsoft, it'll be called MacroHard.

00:06:06.460 MacroHard.

00:06:07.920 Now, apparently, even though Elon says the name is tug-and-cheek, you know, it's a jokey name, it's a real thing.

00:06:19.180 And the real thing is that he's recruiting, I guess, software people to build a competitor to Microsoft's office that would be an AI-based approach.

00:06:38.100 Now, tie together the other stories.

00:06:43.980 What would happen if you could do the main things that you want to do without buying Microsoft software or without using apps?

00:06:54.260 Because, let's say, let's say your phone and your laptop were running AI, and that's it.

00:07:01.360 It was just running AI.

00:07:03.100 So if you wanted it to act like a spreadsheet, you'd just say, hey, AI, act like a spreadsheet, and boom, you'd have a spreadsheet.

00:07:13.520 It was just created on the fly.

00:07:15.500 It wouldn't exist anywhere until he asked for it.

00:07:17.980 And, you know, maybe you'd say, well, maybe it would have a template that it used or something.

00:07:25.340 Same with a, you know, the word processor.

00:07:28.080 You'd just say, hey, I'm going to write a letter.

00:07:30.160 Boop.

00:07:30.420 And it would create that interface as if it never existed before.

00:07:35.340 Now, imagine that you've got that.

00:07:39.580 Then imagine that your companies also include a network of satellites that can make it unnecessary to use a phone company.

00:07:50.500 Because pretty much everywhere on Earth, you'll have this high-speed bandwidth access to a satellite.

00:07:59.520 That would be Elon Musk.

00:08:02.180 So if he can build the best AI, and then he can use the AI to replace all apps and operating systems in our devices.

00:08:14.000 So that would include your phones and your laptops.

00:08:20.740 All of that would go away.

00:08:23.560 And if Elon is successful, he would own all of that.

00:08:31.320 Do you even understand how big a play that is?

00:08:34.900 He's making a play to put Microsoft out of business and Apple, too, and take all of their business.

00:08:42.600 Microsoft and Apple at the same time.

00:08:48.320 Oh, no, not that.

00:08:49.820 I'm sorry.

00:08:50.820 Did I say that he was going to try to take Microsoft and Apple's business?

00:08:55.880 I didn't mean that.

00:08:57.620 I meant Microsoft, Apple, and all of the mobile phone company business.

00:09:05.360 Because his satellites will be the mobile phone company.

00:09:08.480 So he's going to be your internet provider, your phone provider, your operating system.

00:09:18.240 And he's already 75% there.

00:09:22.480 Because the AI is the important part, right?

00:09:25.760 We already assume that if Elon Musk decided he wanted to build a phone, that he can figure out how to manufacture a phone.

00:09:37.420 I mean, he might not do it in the United States for the same reasons that nobody else does.

00:09:42.140 But, yeah, he could either find a partner or start a company and manufacture a phone.

00:09:49.400 So the future, I believe, is laptops and mobile phones that have only AI.

00:09:59.880 And it does everything you want to do.

00:10:02.980 Whoa!

00:10:03.860 Wouldn't that be cool?

00:11:05.380 All right, so not only will Leland must be the first trillionaire, but he might be the first hundred trillionaire.

00:11:15.160 If he pulls that off, that would be worth, I mean, how much is that worth?

00:11:20.660 If he replaces all of those companies' entire businesses.

00:11:24.140 And it looks like he's got a, I'd give him a 25% chance of pulling that off.

00:11:31.880 Maybe higher.

00:11:32.840 Might be 75%.

00:11:34.140 And here's another thing that AI might do.

00:11:38.200 Um, it might replace GPS.

00:11:42.440 So it turns out that if you've got detailed satellite maps and you've got cameras on your car, that your car can sort of look down the street and compare it to, I guess, like a Google map that, that maps a street.

00:11:59.280 And it will just figure out where you are, but what it looks like, no matter where you are.

00:12:05.880 Now, it might only be used as a fill-in for when GPS fails.

00:12:11.280 So in other words, you can imagine your car would have the AI navigation, where it just looks where you are and tells you where you must be.

00:12:22.680 But, uh, only, it would only kick in when the GPS failed, perhaps.

00:12:28.480 But how cool is that?

00:12:30.420 To not have GPS and still have AI tell you where you are.

00:12:34.200 Now, it's not going to work if you're in the middle of a forest, but it would work wherever those streets have been mapped.

00:12:41.600 That's almost everywhere.

00:12:44.780 Well, one of the, what probably is several dildo throwers at the WNBA games, you know about that, um, multiple people, I think, probably multiple people,

00:12:57.160 have thrown a, uh, colorful dildo onto the, the court during basketball games, women's basketball.

00:13:05.360 And I think somebody did it on a football turf yesterday as well.

00:13:10.360 But one of those dildo throwers, uh, has been caught.

00:13:15.380 He's a family man from Ohio who traveled all the way to New York, I guess, to throw a dildo onto a WNBA court.

00:13:26.660 And he's not even, like, a big fan of WNBA.

00:13:31.020 Why would you do that?

00:13:34.200 He's a family man and a small business owner.

00:13:37.840 And there's no indication that things are going wrong in his life.

00:13:42.000 But he still thought it was necessary to travel across state lines to throw a dildo and disrupt a WNBA game.

00:13:51.760 Where did that come from?

00:13:53.360 Was that just for fun?

00:13:56.020 Did he, yeah, did he lose a bet?

00:13:58.580 Did somebody pay him to do it?

00:14:00.920 Was it a dare?

00:14:04.540 That's not good judgment.

00:14:05.900 Anyway, apparently, uh, Vladimir Zelensky of Ukraine has already asked if he can buy a, uh, a collection of dildos to drop on the Russians.

00:14:18.740 Because the, the charges against the man who got caught throwing the dildo is, uh, all related to it being dangerous.

00:14:29.700 You know, sort of a dildo violence, if you will.

00:14:33.200 There's a claim that the dildo hit somebody.

00:14:35.720 Uh, I don't know that that's true.

00:14:38.620 But if it's true that, uh, colorful dildos are that dangerous, I think Zelensky should start dropping a amount of drones.

00:14:47.440 It'll really make a difference in that war.

00:14:49.740 Um, speaking of, uh, dildos that are being dropped in various places, Kamala Harris is launching a book tour for her book, 107 Days.

00:15:02.020 Um, now, it's pretty gutsy to write a book about your failed presidential campaign, unless it's about why you failed.

00:15:14.140 And I suspect it's not going to be that.

00:15:17.320 It's probably about how awesome she was, and she probably won.

00:15:20.880 But maybe, uh, maybe Russia hacked the election systems.

00:15:25.700 Who would buy, who would buy a book from someone who's most famous for not even being able to talk in public?

00:15:36.960 Uh, if the book were called Word Salad, and it was nothing but, you know, nonsense words that AI put together or something, that would make more sense.

00:15:47.600 But who would read it?

00:15:49.000 Who wants to hear from the loser, unless they're funny or a good writer?

00:15:54.060 Do you think she's a terrible speaker in public, but she's a good writer?

00:16:00.360 No.

00:16:01.400 Do you think she wrote one word of it?

00:16:04.560 Probably not.

00:16:06.140 You know, I assume it's a ghost writer.

00:16:08.880 Um, so it wouldn't really be her voice, and she didn't win the election, and she doesn't have any wisdom to impart.

00:16:18.220 Wow, I'll bet you can't wait to buy that book.

00:16:21.620 You better get in line now.

00:16:22.940 So, yeah, get in line.

00:16:26.540 Well, according to The Hill, um, and others, I guess, there's a phrase which I hadn't heard until today, a romantic recession.

00:16:35.480 So, in America, and probably other places, there's a romantic recession.

00:16:41.400 So, that would mean that people are having less sex or dating less and all that.

00:16:46.860 But now, there's a Bank of America survey that says that half of Gen Z adults are spending zero money on dating.

00:16:59.500 Half.

00:17:00.060 Now, isn't that the way it almost always was?

00:17:04.760 If you're counting men and women, hasn't it always been only half of them are spending money on dates, and the other half are having the money spent on them?

00:17:14.140 Isn't that exactly how it's always been?

00:17:17.900 Half of the people spend nothing on dates, and the other half spend all of it?

00:17:23.260 I don't know.

00:17:23.900 I don't know if that's anything new there.

00:17:25.520 But it found that 53% of men, oh, so they did divide it by gender, 53% of men and 54% of women didn't spend a dime on dates.

00:17:38.600 Okay.

00:17:42.920 I feel like if men were willing to pay for dates all the time, you know, if they could afford it, but they probably can't at the moment,

00:17:52.860 that don't you think that more women would say yes to dates if they knew that they would not spend a penny?

00:18:00.000 Doesn't that seem like that would make a difference?

00:18:01.840 Because I feel like you would go on a date that was a little marginal if you didn't have to spend any money.

00:18:09.340 But if it was like, well, you know, we're going to date a few times, and you're going to pay for our expensive dinner once, and we'll pay once.

00:18:17.700 I don't know.

00:18:18.620 You're not going to do the marginal ones.

00:18:21.700 All right.

00:18:22.520 Another good news.

00:18:23.920 Apparently, the U.S. and Canada are making progress in getting some kind of a permanent trade deal.

00:18:29.300 And indeed, the U.S. had dropped some, what would you, I guess you'd call it, some revenge-y tariffs that we put on them,

00:18:40.640 and then Canada just dropped some tariffs that they had on us to reciprocate.

00:18:45.880 But Canada and the U.S. are heading toward, it looks like, resolving everything.

00:18:51.580 And so, we go back to, what did you predict would happen with tariffs?

00:19:00.820 Did you predict that it would be doom and gloom because, you know, we would ask for things we couldn't get or whatever?

00:19:08.800 Or did you believe that Trump was simply using it as a negotiating tactic, and when it was all said and done, that we would just end up with better trade deals?

00:19:23.080 I was, I certainly didn't know if the old tariff thing would, you know, cause a problem.

00:19:30.180 And I'm still not positive, but it looks like it's a huge success for Trump at this point.

00:19:37.940 Things could change, but at this point it looks like a huge success.

00:19:42.460 So, now it looks like we're happy with our Canada tariffs, so we don't really need to negotiate anything.

00:19:49.840 That's what Scott Besson said.

00:19:51.960 We've got, Europe looks like it's getting close to being handled, but it's not an emergency in any way.

00:20:00.420 Canada's coming online.

00:20:02.440 But what caught my attention was Carney is bad at negotiating.

00:20:07.900 Here's something that Carney said out loud in public in the context of still negotiating with the United States.

00:20:16.860 He actually said that Canada has the best trade deals in the world with the U.S., and so he'd like to keep that, you know, keep that situation.

00:20:27.100 Now, here's some advice.

00:20:29.720 If you're negotiating, you should never say you've already given us the best deal in the world.

00:20:38.240 Why would we give you anything else?

00:20:41.240 If you just told us you had the best deal that anybody had in the whole world, which might be true, by the way,

00:20:47.900 that's not much incentive for us to give up anything else, is it?

00:20:54.020 It's like, let me see.

00:20:56.060 So, you've got the best trade deal in the world is what you're saying, but you're asking for more?

00:21:02.560 Why would we give you any more?

00:21:06.200 You just said you had the best deal in the whole world.

00:21:09.500 The world.

00:21:10.580 Look how many countries there are.

00:21:12.740 Have you counted the number of countries, Carney?

00:21:15.340 It's a bunch.

00:21:16.780 Lots of countries.

00:21:17.940 And you have the best in the world.

00:21:20.540 You're not getting anything else.

00:21:21.960 So, yeah, if you're negotiating, don't start with, you've already given us the best deal in the world.

00:21:29.180 Well, Representative Mike Lawler, I like the fact he has Law right now, right now, his last name, Lawler.

00:21:40.660 So, he's floating a bill, according to the New York Post, to charge fentanyl traffickers with attempted murder.

00:21:49.320 Now, that would be a trafficker, so I don't think that necessarily means your local street dealer.

00:21:56.380 I think that means the person who takes it across the border, but I'm not positive.

00:22:01.060 But it would be attempted murder, and you could get up to life in prison.

00:22:07.460 Good idea.

00:22:09.120 I like it.

00:22:11.200 Life in prison.

00:22:24.280 Scotiabank, you're richer than you think.

00:22:27.960 All right.

00:22:29.140 So, I had a shocking revelation yesterday.

00:22:36.380 I'm always fascinated when there's something that I just assumed was true,

00:22:41.820 and find out it's totally untrue.

00:22:44.100 And I feel like you're in the same position.

00:22:48.260 So, I'm going to talk about something that probably you think is real,

00:22:52.400 and according to what I learned yesterday, is not even a little bit real.

00:22:59.040 And it goes like this.

00:23:00.520 Do you believe that the company named BlackRock and some other big money companies have been buying up single-family homes in the United States,

00:23:12.200 so much so that it's a big force on rising prices and making those homes unaffordable?

00:23:20.880 How many of you believe that that's a real thing that's happening in the real world?

00:23:25.600 Let me say it again.

00:23:26.960 And listen carefully, right?

00:23:29.420 So, you have to listen carefully.

00:23:30.800 Do you believe that a company called BlackRock, a money company, BlackRock, and Vanguard and State Street,

00:23:40.780 do you believe that they buy and have purchased so many single-family homes in the United States

00:23:48.620 that it is raising the price of homes in the United States?

00:23:52.900 I believe that.

00:23:55.040 I kept hearing it over and over again.

00:23:57.840 All right.

00:23:58.200 You ready?

00:23:58.580 You ready to find out what's true?

00:24:01.800 This is going to blow your mind.

00:24:05.380 And I didn't know this until I saw the Amuse account on X.

00:24:09.920 And you should be following Amuse, just like it sounds, just Amuse and follow it.

00:24:16.520 But there was a long thread.

00:24:18.540 Here's the first thing you got wrong.

00:24:21.180 There is a company that buys single-family homes in the United States, but it's Blackstone.

00:24:27.500 It's not BlackRock.

00:24:28.880 BlackRock's not even in that business.

00:24:32.520 So, the first thing is, it's not BlackRock.

00:24:36.240 And I don't believe it's the others either.

00:24:39.240 But there is a company called Blackstone that has bought some tens of thousands of single-family homes.

00:24:47.920 But the total amount that these money people have bought is 0.1% of the supply.

00:24:58.740 0.1%.

00:25:00.200 Not 1%.

00:25:01.340 One-tenth of 1%.

00:25:03.940 Do you believe that the prices of homes in the United States are higher because Blackstone, not BlackRock, and some others own 0.1% of them?

00:25:20.200 Almost certainly not.

00:25:23.760 It's way too small a percentage to be affecting the total price of homes.

00:25:30.260 I mean, maybe a little bit, but you wouldn't even be able to measure it.

00:25:34.120 So, you know, my source there is the Amuse account.

00:25:38.240 So, if you have anything to fact-check me on, let me know later.

00:25:42.220 But how many of you, did that blow your minds?

00:25:45.460 How many of you thought that was true, that BlackRock had bought so many homes that was raising the price of homes?

00:25:53.360 I actually believed that.

00:25:57.340 I actually believed it.

00:26:00.180 Nothing is real.

00:26:01.940 So, I've got a little bit of a theme for today.

00:26:05.280 The theme is nothing's real.

00:26:07.780 It's all fake.

00:26:10.440 Well, the Texas Senate passed their GOP redistricting map.

00:26:15.360 And so, it looks like they'll gain five seats, or the Republicans will gain five seats in Texas.

00:26:25.240 And according to Axios, April Rubin is writing that Trump's plan is to get as many as 100 seats

00:26:33.620 through a combination of having the Republican states redistrict.

00:26:40.840 I assume that means, even if the Democrats also do more redistricting, that the Republicans could still pull ahead

00:26:50.180 because they're less gerrymandered in general, so that they would have more room to grow, so to speak.

00:26:57.260 But on top of that, Trump's trying to get rid of mail-in ballots.

00:27:02.700 And he believes that if he does those two things, that the Republicans would pick up a 100-seat Republican majority.

00:27:10.840 Does that sound too aggressive?

00:27:14.640 Meaning that there's no way that's going to happen?

00:27:17.760 I don't know.

00:27:20.280 I have to put this in the category of tariffs.

00:27:23.920 Where I hear the idea, and I think to myself, I don't know.

00:27:28.780 I don't know.

00:27:29.260 I believe that BlackRock buying houses thing.

00:27:34.220 I mean, I got fooled by that.

00:27:36.900 So, I guess anything's possible.

00:27:41.140 Maybe.

00:27:42.460 Maybe.

00:27:43.740 But some people say that Trump will not succeed in getting rid of mail-in ballots

00:27:48.840 because the states have full control of how they do the elections.

00:27:55.080 But, I'm going to ask you a question that's going to make your head go,

00:27:59.360 wait a minute.

00:28:00.000 Does that make a lot of sense, or am I going crazy?

00:28:04.400 You ready?

00:28:05.440 So, here's another mind-bender.

00:28:07.820 If you haven't been, because I haven't heard anybody say this.

00:28:11.360 To my, best of my knowledge,

00:28:14.700 I haven't seen any news report with the suggestion I'm about to make.

00:28:20.500 Okay?

00:28:21.260 Let's accept the assumption that the states have the ability to run their election

00:28:27.120 any way they want.

00:28:28.680 Okay?

00:28:29.600 We all would understand that.

00:28:32.040 And, therefore, if Trump tried to do an executive order,

00:28:36.100 or even if the Congress made some law that they tried to apply to the states,

00:28:40.660 the courts would throw it out because the states definitely have the power

00:28:45.540 to decide how to run the election in their state.

00:28:48.600 So, I think we'd all agree on that.

00:28:51.560 But, here's my question.

00:28:55.060 Does the federal government have the ability to reject any states' numbers

00:29:02.520 that they find not credible for any reason whatsoever?

00:29:07.860 Let's say there was a report that was very well sourced

00:29:13.200 that showed that one state had cheated on an election.

00:29:17.640 Would the federal government be required to accept that result?

00:29:23.380 Let's say the state tried to push it on the feds anyway,

00:29:27.280 because it's the only result they had.

00:29:29.180 But we knew there was very credible reports that it wasn't a good number.

00:29:36.240 Would the feds have the ability to say,

00:29:40.280 we're going to skip your state because you don't have a credible number?

00:29:45.100 Or, say, we're not going to give a result.

00:29:48.740 We'll just keep running the country the way it is because the election is not complete.

00:29:54.100 There's a state that hasn't weighed in,

00:29:56.180 which would also be bad for Democrats because that would keep Trump in office.

00:30:00.700 Or, could it be that we don't have to have evidence that there was cheating?

00:30:07.940 Would it be enough for the federal government to say,

00:30:12.040 the only sources of numbers that we find credible

00:30:16.240 are the ones that don't involve voting machines, if they decide to say that,

00:30:21.980 and the ones that don't involve mail-in votes?

00:30:25.060 So, the government could say, we will accept all of your numbers

00:30:29.500 that do not come from those two sources.

00:30:32.900 And it's not because we have proof that there's any problem with those numbers,

00:30:37.680 but what we do have is a, we've identified two systems

00:30:42.800 which we have judged not to be credible enough to be acceptable.

00:30:48.620 Could the Trump administration, and therefore future administrations too, I guess,

00:30:56.180 decide what they would accept based on the credibility

00:31:00.060 of the process by which they collected the numbers?

00:31:05.680 Had anybody floated that idea?

00:31:09.280 Now, I'm not a lawyer, and even a lawyer would not have necessarily

00:31:14.020 the domain-specific knowledge about elections.

00:31:19.160 So, I don't know how to test that idea,

00:31:22.300 but I don't think I've heard it before.

00:31:26.080 It does seem like the feds have,

00:31:29.260 doesn't it seem to you that the federal government would have the power

00:31:32.480 to reject numbers that were just not credible?

00:31:38.400 Don't you think that has some weight?

00:31:42.080 I don't know.

00:31:42.580 Well, maybe it's time to test it.

00:31:45.120 We'll find out.

00:31:49.220 Trump says that the Chicago might be next

00:31:54.000 for the cities that you would flood in some federal resources

00:31:59.620 like the National Guard

00:32:01.280 and try to conquer the violence and the crime there

00:32:05.840 as he is trying to do in Washington, D.C.

00:32:08.600 Now, if you judge Washington, D.C.

00:32:10.720 but what's happened so far, it all looks good.

00:32:14.680 But we don't know what happens if he inevitably has to, you know,

00:32:18.900 reduce the number of forces there, et cetera.

00:32:21.580 So, anything could happen.

00:32:23.300 But hold that in mind.

00:32:26.840 I'm going to tie this all together.

00:32:28.920 So, remember, Trump has federal forces in Washington, D.C.,

00:32:32.800 and so far it looks successful.

00:32:35.600 He might do the same thing in Chicago.

00:32:38.620 Now, I'm going to switch topics, but I'm going to tie them together,

00:32:41.500 so pay attention.

00:32:42.280 Bill Maher had his show last night,

00:32:46.100 and, of course, we watch him to watch this very entertaining,

00:32:52.160 I would say, arc from a Trump hater to a,

00:32:57.740 damn it, he keeps doing things I like.

00:33:00.900 And I don't believe Maher is ever going to become

00:33:04.920 a Trump supporter member of MAGA.

00:33:07.100 But every week, it seems like he gets closer

00:33:11.780 by validating that something that Trump did

00:33:14.700 was, you know, worthy of compliments.

00:33:17.620 However, just to make sure you know

00:33:20.200 that he would never go all the way to supporting Trump,

00:33:25.120 he has this one ace in the hole

00:33:27.380 that he says, you know, is disqualifying for Trump.

00:33:30.880 Oh, yeah, there's, you know,

00:33:32.260 maybe lots of things you could complain about Trump,

00:33:34.840 but there's this one thing

00:33:36.820 that Bill Maher lets us know almost every week

00:33:40.640 is completely disqualifying for Trump,

00:33:44.700 and that is the idea that Trump is running

00:33:47.020 a slow-motion coup, as Bill Maher calls it,

00:33:52.580 and that he knows that Trump will never give up power.

00:33:58.060 Now, he believes that January 6th was an example of that.

00:34:01.720 However, he is deeply within the hoax realm

00:34:06.780 because Trump did give up power.

00:34:10.940 He literally gave it up.

00:34:13.880 He gave it up.

00:34:16.840 Well, I don't know what show he was watching,

00:34:19.220 but the one I watched, he lost the election,

00:34:22.500 he complained, where we all have a right to,

00:34:25.420 and then he peacefully left

00:34:28.120 and then ran for election again,

00:34:31.880 just like the system was designed.

00:34:35.100 So, but in Bill Maher's world,

00:34:37.380 he's already proven that he would not give up power,

00:34:40.560 and therefore, he might not give it up this time either.

00:34:43.980 You know, and of course,

00:34:45.220 he did talk about Trump having a 20,

00:34:49.280 did he talk about this?

00:34:50.760 That Trump has a hat, 2028 hat.

00:34:53.120 So, Bill Maher believes that Trump is not joking

00:34:56.600 about remaining in power,

00:35:00.100 although he jokes about it a lot.

00:35:03.700 However, Bill does have a stronger argument

00:35:07.520 when he's watching the feds move their own little private army,

00:35:12.720 so to speak, the National Guard.

00:35:15.080 It's not the feds,

00:35:16.660 but they can nationalize it whenever they want,

00:35:19.000 if they had an argument.

00:35:19.980 And he points out that the troops are coming more

00:35:23.580 from southern states,

00:35:26.160 as in, it's almost like he's forming a private army.

00:35:31.100 Do you remember that I said,

00:35:33.340 you don't have to worry about the president,

00:35:35.820 any president,

00:35:36.860 but you don't have to worry about Trump

00:35:38.340 trying to take power,

00:35:40.420 unless he had his own army?

00:35:43.100 Because if you don't own the army,

00:35:45.100 there's no way you're going to stay in power.

00:35:47.660 So, you would have to have something like Iran has,

00:35:50.860 you know, the Revolutionary Guard,

00:35:52.520 or all the dictators have,

00:35:55.440 you know, this smaller,

00:35:57.280 highly funded and motivated group

00:36:00.280 that can protect at least the capital.

00:36:03.220 So, now he's got his own,

00:36:05.220 this is what Bill Maher would say,

00:36:07.160 he's got his own kind of military

00:36:08.940 that's now guarding the capital,

00:36:13.200 conveniently.

00:36:13.720 Now, I would point out

00:36:15.960 that it's not guarding Mar-a-Lago.

00:36:18.560 So, it's not like,

00:36:21.120 you know,

00:36:21.600 it's not like the street gangs

00:36:24.100 can't get to Trump if they don't want to.

00:36:26.180 I mean, he's going to be golfing and stuff.

00:36:28.380 But,

00:36:28.700 on top of that,

00:36:31.420 as Bill Maher correctly points out,

00:36:34.020 the only way you could have

00:36:35.640 any kind of a,

00:36:36.540 you know,

00:36:37.420 coup,

00:36:38.880 the kind that people fear,

00:36:40.300 is if you really did start a process

00:36:43.480 by which you were building

00:36:45.160 toward having your own private army

00:36:46.960 to keep you in power.

00:36:49.500 Now, does it look to you

00:36:50.840 like that's what's happening?

00:36:52.460 Do you believe that what you see

00:36:54.620 is Trump starting the beginning of his,

00:36:57.880 getting a federalized,

00:37:00.240 under his control,

00:37:02.160 you know,

00:37:02.380 maybe later there's some moves

00:37:04.120 where he fires some

00:37:06.000 National Guard leaders

00:37:07.820 and puts his loyalists in there?

00:37:10.360 You know,

00:37:10.780 maybe something like that.

00:37:13.500 Searchlight Pictures presents

00:37:14.800 The Roses,

00:37:15.720 only in theaters August 29th.

00:37:17.760 From the director of Meet the Parents

00:37:19.460 and the writer of Poor Things

00:37:21.060 comes The Roses,

00:37:22.520 starring Academy Award winner

00:37:24.020 Olivia Colman,

00:37:25.220 Academy Award nominee

00:37:26.340 Benedict Cumberbatch,

00:37:27.700 Andy Samberg,

00:37:28.680 Kate McKinnon,

00:37:29.440 and Allison Janney.

00:37:30.600 A hilarious new comedy

00:37:31.820 filled with drama,

00:37:33.160 excitement,

00:37:33.860 and a little bit of hatred,

00:37:35.300 proving that marriage

00:37:36.240 isn't always a bed of roses.

00:37:38.560 See The Roses,

00:37:39.580 only in theaters August 29th.

00:37:41.280 Get tickets now.

00:37:43.580 Well, here's what I think.

00:37:47.300 If you do,

00:37:50.680 the first thing I'd worry about

00:37:52.540 is if you do another election

00:37:54.340 with voting machines

00:37:55.540 and mail-in ballots,

00:37:57.340 you're kind of asking for a coup

00:37:59.560 because you're running

00:38:01.740 an election system

00:38:03.200 that at least half of the country,

00:38:04.700 and I believe it's more than half

00:38:06.440 because I think both parties

00:38:07.620 have some questions

00:38:08.500 about these systems.

00:38:10.160 If you're running a system

00:38:11.580 that half of the country

00:38:13.880 does not trust

00:38:15.260 is even a valid way

00:38:16.440 to elect somebody,

00:38:18.680 you're kind of asking for a coup.

00:38:20.940 And I don't mean just Trump.

00:38:23.220 I mean, whoever is in power.

00:38:25.540 If you keep running a system

00:38:27.200 that the public doesn't trust,

00:38:30.500 yeah,

00:38:30.760 it doesn't seem like

00:38:31.960 that could go forever.

00:38:32.820 But in my view,

00:38:36.600 Bill Maher has the TDS problem

00:38:39.840 of his problem with Trump

00:38:42.320 is not the things he's done

00:38:43.880 that we can verify.

00:38:45.560 He mostly likes that stuff.

00:38:48.080 And I'll give you some examples

00:38:49.200 in a minute.

00:38:50.280 It's the things that he worries about

00:38:52.140 that are imaginary.

00:38:54.200 And that's what it's come down to.

00:38:56.740 The smartest people

00:38:58.140 who also have TDS,

00:38:59.940 you know,

00:39:00.100 the well-informed people

00:39:01.280 like Bill,

00:39:02.840 literally have to imagine

00:39:05.460 an imaginary scenario

00:39:07.920 where a very unlikely

00:39:09.480 set of events happen

00:39:10.840 that, you know,

00:39:13.640 you could say,

00:39:14.640 I told you,

00:39:15.500 didn't you see that coming?

00:39:17.060 So that's imaginary.

00:39:19.120 But,

00:39:20.560 to his credit,

00:39:23.720 Bill is also

00:39:25.400 very complimentary,

00:39:26.440 Rory was on Friday

00:39:27.720 saying how Trump is so good

00:39:30.500 and he gave lots of examples

00:39:32.480 of how he's so good

00:39:33.740 at targeting micro groups

00:39:37.220 within the country

00:39:38.200 and making them happy

00:39:39.960 because he finds their issue

00:39:42.080 that they're tied to.

00:39:44.380 So he used the Trump

00:39:46.380 going to reschedule weed

00:39:48.940 as something that

00:39:50.640 the Democrats are just stupid

00:39:52.780 for not doing it first.

00:39:55.060 They just leave it to Trump.

00:39:57.200 And so,

00:39:58.360 Marr correctly points out

00:39:59.740 that the people

00:40:00.460 who would really like him

00:40:01.680 to do that

00:40:02.360 or like any leader

00:40:03.660 to reschedule weed,

00:40:06.340 Trump is just going to

00:40:07.800 nail them down.

00:40:09.140 So it'll be one more group

00:40:10.380 of people

00:40:10.900 that Trump gets for free,

00:40:13.560 which is people who

00:40:14.700 consider that

00:40:15.860 one of their top issues.

00:40:17.640 But then,

00:40:19.300 Marr points out accurately

00:40:21.440 that Trump did the same thing

00:40:23.180 with crypto.

00:40:24.740 He became the one

00:40:26.560 that the crypto people like

00:40:28.360 and they got that

00:40:29.380 tiny little population

00:40:30.720 on his side.

00:40:32.500 He did it with

00:40:33.040 the First Step Act,

00:40:35.060 got the people

00:40:35.780 who were activists

00:40:37.220 in the,

00:40:37.880 you know,

00:40:39.920 the,

00:40:40.780 what would you call it,

00:40:41.480 the reform of the

00:40:42.320 justice system,

00:40:43.740 you know,

00:40:44.020 in terms of getting people

00:40:45.180 out of jail early.

00:40:46.620 First Step Act,

00:40:47.640 he did it with

00:40:48.200 your toilets

00:40:49.580 and your showers

00:40:50.520 not having enough

00:40:51.260 water pressure.

00:40:52.240 He did it with

00:40:52.820 straws.

00:40:54.440 He did it with

00:40:55.020 no tax on tips.

00:40:56.480 He did it with

00:40:57.220 make America healthy again.

00:40:58.860 Each of them

00:40:59.600 have a tiny,

00:41:01.600 motivated,

00:41:03.160 really strong

00:41:05.140 set of believers

00:41:06.260 and Trump just

00:41:07.660 checks them off.

00:41:08.820 Go,

00:41:09.020 you want this?

00:41:09.860 No tax on tips.

00:41:10.900 Boom,

00:41:11.140 I won Las Vegas.

00:41:14.200 And

00:41:14.640 it was sort of

00:41:16.760 full circle

00:41:17.460 for me.

00:41:18.400 Some of you know

00:41:19.140 that in,

00:41:20.240 I think it was

00:41:21.100 2016,

00:41:23.740 I was on his show

00:41:25.340 the real time

00:41:27.020 and I predicted

00:41:29.300 that Trump would win.

00:41:30.520 So this was before

00:41:31.400 the election

00:41:31.980 when people were

00:41:33.380 not expecting

00:41:34.040 Trump to win.

00:41:35.340 And

00:41:35.760 I said he would win

00:41:38.580 and I said

00:41:39.260 the specific reason

00:41:40.800 is that his

00:41:42.400 persuasive skills

00:41:43.920 were unparalleled.

00:41:44.460 unparalleled.

00:41:46.020 So I gave my reason

00:41:47.600 and my reason

00:41:48.540 did not have to do

00:41:49.540 with policies.

00:41:51.200 I didn't even mention

00:41:52.740 any.

00:41:53.680 It wasn't about

00:41:55.000 his fundraising ability.

00:41:58.500 I said there's

00:41:59.420 one variable.

00:42:01.200 His ability

00:42:02.140 to persuade

00:42:02.940 is like we've

00:42:03.780 never seen.

00:42:05.300 And he's going

00:42:06.420 to go right

00:42:06.920 into the White House.

00:42:08.400 Now,

00:42:10.300 you see Bill

00:42:11.540 Barr

00:42:11.820 praising him

00:42:13.280 because he so

00:42:14.740 adeptly

00:42:15.960 can identify

00:42:17.980 these little areas

00:42:19.080 where with just

00:42:19.800 the smallest tweak

00:42:21.020 in what you say

00:42:22.440 about it,

00:42:23.340 you end up

00:42:24.400 owning that

00:42:25.040 whole population.

00:42:26.180 You get them

00:42:26.660 for free.

00:42:27.600 It's like leaving

00:42:28.400 money on the table.

00:42:29.560 Oh,

00:42:30.260 I mean,

00:42:30.560 all I have to do

00:42:31.300 is say

00:42:31.840 I'm pro-crypto

00:42:33.600 and then

00:42:34.100 a million more

00:42:35.320 people will

00:42:36.040 start looking at me

00:42:37.360 as a better candidate.

00:42:38.500 All right.

00:42:40.220 Let's do it

00:42:40.980 in a reasonable way.

00:42:42.140 I mean,

00:42:42.320 he doesn't do it

00:42:42.960 in a crazy way.

00:42:44.040 He makes sure that

00:42:44.880 these things

00:42:46.060 all make sense

00:42:46.920 in their own way.

00:42:49.880 But yes,

00:42:51.080 I would say

00:42:51.740 that Bill

00:42:54.060 Barr

00:42:54.300 is now

00:42:54.720 a complete convert

00:42:55.900 as are

00:42:56.980 most of the world,

00:42:57.920 by the way.

00:42:58.820 Most of the world

00:42:59.640 caught up with me

00:43:00.600 in 2016

00:43:01.520 and they now believe

00:43:03.180 that he,

00:43:03.740 they like to use

00:43:04.480 the term

00:43:04.900 he's the best

00:43:06.120 political athlete.

00:43:09.220 Now,

00:43:09.820 I like that,

00:43:10.960 but I would say

00:43:11.680 persuasion.

00:43:13.540 Political athlete

00:43:14.560 is a wider category

00:43:16.600 and I agree with it.

00:43:18.020 He is the best

00:43:18.580 political athlete

00:43:19.600 we've ever seen.

00:43:21.120 But everybody

00:43:22.540 sees the persuasion

00:43:23.600 element now.

00:43:26.080 And then

00:43:26.600 Bill Maher

00:43:27.440 also astutely

00:43:29.540 mocked

00:43:30.740 Kamala Harris

00:43:31.620 for instead

00:43:32.740 of doing

00:43:33.160 all these

00:43:33.740 real world

00:43:34.460 things that

00:43:35.040 people like,

00:43:36.280 you know,

00:43:36.520 like the

00:43:37.060 straws

00:43:38.900 and the

00:43:39.300 light bulbs

00:43:40.500 and all this stuff,

00:43:41.840 she went after

00:43:42.800 saving democracy.

00:43:46.840 So she went

00:43:47.760 after a concept.

00:43:49.900 Trump went after

00:43:50.700 your toilets,

00:43:51.540 your taxes on tips,

00:43:52.900 your crypto,

00:43:53.700 your weed.

00:43:54.560 Those are all

00:43:55.180 real things.

00:43:56.600 Almost all of

00:43:57.540 those things

00:43:58.240 you can feel

00:44:00.060 or see

00:44:00.760 or you have

00:44:01.260 a memory of it

00:44:02.200 or an image

00:44:02.800 pops into your head.

00:44:04.380 These are really

00:44:05.480 salient,

00:44:07.020 touchy,

00:44:07.740 you can feel them.

00:44:09.160 You just have

00:44:09.900 a feeling

00:44:10.400 about all those

00:44:11.160 things.

00:44:12.340 And Kamala

00:44:13.460 is going for

00:44:14.040 saving your democracy.

00:44:15.960 And the closest

00:44:16.620 I can get to

00:44:17.500 even understanding

00:44:18.280 that topic

00:44:18.980 would be,

00:44:20.040 wait,

00:44:20.380 what?

00:44:22.180 What's wrong

00:44:22.820 their democracy?

00:44:24.380 What?

00:44:26.960 And the only

00:44:27.740 thing I think

00:44:28.340 that needs to be

00:44:29.120 saved is the

00:44:30.400 credibility of

00:44:31.260 our election

00:44:31.760 systems and

00:44:32.620 Trump's trying

00:44:33.140 to do that.

00:44:34.840 So,

00:44:35.820 anyway,

00:44:36.820 and now

00:44:39.960 Trump is doing

00:44:40.880 more of what

00:44:42.020 Bill Maher

00:44:42.820 correctly points

00:44:43.680 out as part

00:44:45.060 of his

00:44:45.460 persuasion

00:44:46.460 genius of

00:44:47.860 really relating

00:44:48.700 to real people.

00:44:50.180 The fact that

00:44:51.140 he's going

00:44:51.580 after crime

00:44:52.920 and also

00:44:53.740 the beautification

00:44:55.420 of our cities

00:44:57.160 is so,

00:44:59.540 so,

00:45:01.100 like,

00:45:02.280 right in the

00:45:02.740 heart,

00:45:03.400 isn't it?

00:45:05.160 Because

00:45:05.720 there's nobody

00:45:07.160 who doesn't

00:45:07.740 have a picture

00:45:08.380 in their head

00:45:09.120 of a city

00:45:09.940 with graffiti

00:45:10.720 and garbage

00:45:11.380 and people

00:45:11.960 on the sidewalks.

00:45:13.700 So,

00:45:14.400 right away,

00:45:15.240 he's in that

00:45:15.800 visual domain.

00:45:17.280 And he's telling

00:45:17.980 you he's going

00:45:18.760 to beautify it

00:45:19.660 and make it

00:45:20.240 beautiful and

00:45:20.880 clean it up

00:45:21.500 and get rid

00:45:22.360 of the crime.

00:45:23.480 The crime

00:45:24.120 is also

00:45:24.660 something you

00:45:25.300 feel.

00:45:26.780 I don't feel

00:45:27.560 a loss of

00:45:28.160 democracy,

00:45:29.640 but I

00:45:29.920 definitely feel,

00:45:30.980 you know,

00:45:31.280 the danger of

00:45:32.080 cats visiting,

00:45:35.000 the danger of

00:45:35.840 crime and stuff.

00:45:37.420 But listen

00:45:38.040 to,

00:45:38.840 listen to

00:45:41.480 this statement.

00:45:42.640 so Trump

00:45:49.080 Trump said

00:45:49.420 recently,

00:45:50.440 and I quote,

00:45:51.700 and listen

00:45:52.040 to how visual

00:45:52.600 this is,

00:45:53.700 quote,

00:45:54.360 we are going

00:45:54.760 to make

00:45:55.120 D.C.

00:45:55.780 totally safe,

00:45:56.800 Trump said.

00:45:57.580 When people

00:45:58.200 come from

00:45:58.760 Iowa,

00:45:59.480 Indiana,

00:46:00.080 all the big

00:46:00.680 beautiful places,

00:46:01.920 they're not

00:46:02.460 going to go

00:46:03.080 home in a

00:46:03.580 body bag.

00:46:04.980 Oh,

00:46:05.500 my God.

00:46:06.660 They're not

00:46:07.360 going to go

00:46:07.840 home in a

00:46:08.460 body bag.

00:46:09.680 You see it,

00:46:10.860 right?

00:46:11.500 You see the

00:46:12.420 bag,

00:46:14.100 and you can

00:46:15.540 almost see

00:46:16.020 yourself on

00:46:16.580 the inside of

00:46:17.240 it as they're

00:46:17.880 sort of zipping

00:46:18.840 up the body

00:46:19.500 bag.

00:46:20.680 That is

00:46:21.900 visual

00:46:22.660 persuasion.

00:46:24.840 It's visual

00:46:25.840 even without

00:46:26.500 the visual,

00:46:27.180 because you

00:46:27.560 fill in the

00:46:28.360 visual in your

00:46:28.900 mind.

00:46:29.720 But the way

00:46:30.280 he talks

00:46:31.040 about everything

00:46:32.680 is so

00:46:34.220 relatable,

00:46:35.940 so on the

00:46:36.900 money,

00:46:37.360 so you feel

00:46:38.340 it,

00:46:38.600 it's

00:46:41.260 really

00:46:42.080 amazing.

00:46:42.960 So what

00:46:43.660 do the

00:46:43.920 Democrats

00:46:44.320 do when

00:46:46.260 faced with

00:46:47.120 the greatest

00:46:47.780 political

00:46:48.320 athlete of

00:46:48.980 our time,

00:46:49.980 having no

00:46:50.900 policies and

00:46:52.260 no leaders?

00:46:53.840 Well,

00:46:54.280 according to

00:46:54.860 something called

00:46:55.520 the Atlantic

00:46:56.100 Daily,

00:46:57.520 they've got

00:46:58.140 an article

00:46:58.680 that says

00:47:00.620 that some

00:47:01.840 Democrats

00:47:02.420 believe their

00:47:03.000 best bet

00:47:03.760 might be to

00:47:05.120 imitate prominent

00:47:06.580 Republicans,

00:47:07.440 and they give

00:47:07.920 an example

00:47:08.420 of Stephen

00:47:09.600 Miller.

00:47:10.980 So now,

00:47:12.480 if you want

00:47:13.180 to know how

00:47:13.720 lame Democrats

00:47:14.740 are,

00:47:16.440 that first

00:47:18.400 they were

00:47:18.700 trying to,

00:47:19.540 they said,

00:47:20.420 we need our

00:47:20.920 own Trump.

00:47:22.480 So people

00:47:23.340 like Newsom

00:47:24.140 are literally

00:47:26.960 pretending to

00:47:27.900 be Trump in a

00:47:29.200 mocking way,

00:47:30.380 but they're

00:47:30.820 trying to make

00:47:31.900 their own Trump.

00:47:32.640 all right,

00:47:33.560 we'll have

00:47:33.900 Newsom,

00:47:34.660 we'll be

00:47:35.060 doing a lot

00:47:35.740 of insults,

00:47:36.820 and he

00:47:37.460 might come

00:47:37.840 up with

00:47:38.160 some nicknames,

00:47:39.480 but they

00:47:40.480 don't really

00:47:40.960 know what

00:47:41.920 part of

00:47:42.360 Trump is

00:47:43.060 the active

00:47:43.580 ingredient.

00:47:44.960 So the

00:47:45.420 things they're

00:47:45.860 copying,

00:47:47.040 you know,

00:47:49.120 get some

00:47:49.540 attention,

00:47:50.200 but they're

00:47:50.440 not very

00:47:50.880 effective.

00:47:51.800 So now

00:47:52.300 they want

00:47:52.720 to find

00:47:53.200 their own

00:47:53.640 Stephen Miller.

00:47:55.140 They've

00:47:55.660 already said

00:47:56.180 they need

00:47:57.080 their own

00:47:57.500 Charlie Kirk,

00:47:58.360 and you

00:47:59.440 know that

00:47:59.840 they talk

00:48:00.320 obsessively

00:48:01.020 about getting

00:48:02.340 their own

00:48:02.800 Joe Rogan.

00:48:04.680 Now,

00:48:05.460 you could not

00:48:07.100 misunderstand

00:48:07.620 the world

00:48:08.460 any harder

00:48:09.060 than that.

00:48:11.300 These are

00:48:12.100 extraordinary

00:48:13.000 people,

00:48:14.180 and if you

00:48:15.200 haven't noticed,

00:48:16.520 the extraordinary

00:48:17.300 people are all

00:48:18.280 being drawn

00:48:18.780 to the same

00:48:19.340 side.

00:48:21.080 You don't

00:48:21.940 get extraordinary

00:48:22.780 people by

00:48:24.420 acting the way

00:48:25.280 the Democrats

00:48:26.160 act.

00:48:27.320 The extraordinary

00:48:28.200 people either

00:48:29.500 were born

00:48:30.280 on the

00:48:30.740 right,

00:48:31.880 or they

00:48:32.620 said,

00:48:33.080 the left

00:48:34.320 is freaking

00:48:35.040 crazy.

00:48:36.540 I'm going

00:48:37.060 to go

00:48:37.280 toward the

00:48:37.760 common sense

00:48:38.480 world where

00:48:39.000 I can get

00:48:39.480 something done.

00:48:41.540 So no,

00:48:42.220 you can't

00:48:43.400 find your

00:48:44.080 own Stephen

00:48:45.060 Miller.

00:48:46.740 Do you know

00:48:47.820 how much

00:48:48.320 personal hell

00:48:49.840 somebody like

00:48:50.760 Stephen Miller

00:48:51.520 had to go

00:48:52.180 through before

00:48:55.040 he got to

00:48:55.640 be Stephen

00:48:56.240 Miller?

00:48:56.540 Miller.

00:48:58.400 Almost

00:48:58.920 nobody would

00:48:59.860 sign up.

00:49:00.860 So I don't

00:49:01.500 know too much

00:49:02.060 about Stephen

00:49:02.560 Miller's personal

00:49:03.360 life, but

00:49:04.140 don't you

00:49:04.580 assume that

00:49:06.420 the level of

00:49:07.420 personal risk

00:49:09.080 and sacrifice

00:49:09.840 he's put into

00:49:10.780 this is way

00:49:12.000 bigger than

00:49:12.680 ordinary people

00:49:13.680 put into

00:49:14.160 anything.

00:49:15.120 And that

00:49:15.400 would be true

00:49:15.920 of Charlie

00:49:16.540 Kirk, and

00:49:17.140 it's probably

00:49:17.480 true of Joe

00:49:18.120 Rogan, and

00:49:18.760 certainly true

00:49:19.340 of Trump.

00:49:20.800 You don't

00:49:21.520 just go find

00:49:22.540 one.

00:49:22.900 You don't

00:49:24.340 hold to

00:49:24.780 auditions to

00:49:26.420 find yourself

00:49:27.160 your own

00:49:27.680 Stephen Miller.

00:49:29.140 Those only

00:49:30.180 grow naturally.

00:49:32.420 You don't

00:49:33.260 build them.

00:49:35.100 And somehow

00:49:35.580 the Democrats

00:49:37.480 live in such

00:49:38.360 an imaginary

00:49:39.560 entertainment

00:49:41.200 fictional world

00:49:42.540 that they

00:49:43.600 believe that

00:49:44.580 they can

00:49:44.980 build heroes

00:49:45.900 when there's

00:49:48.960 no example

00:49:49.600 of anybody

00:49:50.080 else ever

00:49:50.640 doing it.

00:49:51.780 Has

00:49:52.020 anybody

00:49:52.360 else ever

00:49:52.900 built

00:49:53.260 themselves

00:49:53.700 a Joe

00:49:54.120 Rogan?

00:49:55.600 No.

00:49:57.000 Do you

00:49:57.640 know how

00:49:57.900 much hard

00:49:58.440 work Joe

00:49:59.720 Rogan put

00:50:00.400 into his

00:50:02.060 career?

00:50:03.380 I mean, if

00:50:04.000 you haven't

00:50:04.320 looked into

00:50:04.980 the number

00:50:06.100 of things

00:50:06.840 he's done

00:50:07.440 and the

00:50:08.100 skills he's

00:50:08.960 picked up

00:50:09.460 and the

00:50:09.800 chances he

00:50:10.440 took and

00:50:11.040 that whole

00:50:12.220 road, you

00:50:13.200 don't just

00:50:14.220 imitate that.

00:50:16.980 You have to

00:50:17.920 be born into

00:50:19.660 that mindset

00:50:20.360 that would

00:50:21.300 make it

00:50:21.740 possible for

00:50:22.540 you to

00:50:22.760 become a

00:50:24.500 Joe Rogan.

00:50:27.240 But I

00:50:28.400 should point

00:50:28.900 out, if I

00:50:29.680 haven't said

00:50:30.140 this directly,

00:50:31.440 the Newsom

00:50:32.180 strategy of

00:50:33.280 just mocking

00:50:34.000 Trump and

00:50:35.380 doing funny

00:50:36.180 posts that

00:50:38.880 use Trump

00:50:39.600 style and

00:50:40.720 then swearing

00:50:42.100 a lot and

00:50:42.800 showing up on

00:50:43.460 all kinds of

00:50:44.520 podcasts and

00:50:45.420 having your own

00:50:45.960 podcasts and

00:50:46.700 stuff.

00:50:47.400 It's kind of

00:50:48.260 working.

00:50:48.600 Now, it's

00:50:49.700 working in

00:50:50.380 this narrow

00:50:51.140 sense.

00:50:52.540 It's working

00:50:53.260 in the sense

00:50:53.820 that he's

00:50:54.140 getting all

00:50:54.640 the attention

00:50:55.240 and people

00:50:58.060 are starting

00:50:58.600 to assume

00:50:59.420 that he's

00:51:00.740 the likely

00:51:01.420 primary winner

00:51:02.860 to be the

00:51:03.380 candidate.

00:51:04.560 So it's

00:51:05.260 working for

00:51:05.860 him because

00:51:06.880 it makes

00:51:07.240 him look

00:51:07.540 like he's

00:51:08.400 fighting Trump

00:51:09.240 the most

00:51:09.740 and he's

00:51:11.440 getting the

00:51:11.800 most attention

00:51:12.440 and we know

00:51:13.700 that attention

00:51:14.320 is half of

00:51:15.800 the battle

00:51:16.160 and apparently

00:51:17.920 it's helping

00:51:18.660 him raise

00:51:19.180 money and

00:51:20.360 we know

00:51:20.640 that money

00:51:21.040 makes a

00:51:21.500 difference.

00:51:23.120 But I

00:51:25.140 should point

00:51:25.620 out the

00:51:25.980 following

00:51:26.280 things.

00:51:27.200 Number one,

00:51:28.800 it's August.

00:51:30.920 In August,

00:51:32.400 there's not

00:51:33.040 really much

00:51:33.580 news to

00:51:34.400 compete with

00:51:35.860 Newsom doing

00:51:37.300 a funny

00:51:38.040 truth social

00:51:39.380 mock.

00:51:40.080 I would

00:51:42.080 also point

00:51:42.660 out it's

00:51:43.340 not the

00:51:43.740 sort of

00:51:44.240 thing you

00:51:44.660 can do

00:51:45.080 forever.

00:51:46.580 They managed

00:51:47.420 to hit on

00:51:48.260 a really

00:51:48.860 clever little

00:51:49.900 vine which

00:51:51.660 is mocking

00:51:52.840 the posts

00:51:53.560 and using

00:51:54.040 that style.

00:51:55.240 But how

00:51:55.680 long would

00:51:56.260 you be

00:51:56.600 willing to

00:51:57.360 be entertained

00:51:58.200 by that?

00:51:59.780 I feel

00:52:00.280 like three

00:52:01.980 is the most

00:52:03.220 I can handle.

00:52:04.240 I'm not even

00:52:04.680 sure I'll read

00:52:05.260 a third one.

00:52:06.320 But the first

00:52:06.980 two I read

00:52:07.680 because they

00:52:08.080 were kind of

00:52:08.520 clever.

00:52:08.880 They were

00:52:09.980 well executed.

00:52:11.220 Whoever is

00:52:11.780 doing the

00:52:12.440 strategy and

00:52:14.920 writing those,

00:52:15.920 I don't know

00:52:16.240 if it's

00:52:16.500 Newsom himself,

00:52:17.540 but it's

00:52:17.860 well done.

00:52:19.040 As what it

00:52:19.960 is, it's

00:52:20.340 well done.

00:52:22.620 But do

00:52:24.700 you think

00:52:25.040 anybody's

00:52:25.540 going to

00:52:25.820 change their

00:52:26.480 vote?

00:52:28.580 If we've

00:52:29.520 already

00:52:29.920 accepted,

00:52:30.820 and even

00:52:31.260 the Democrats

00:52:31.980 have kind of

00:52:32.720 grudgingly

00:52:33.280 accepted,

00:52:34.380 that Trump

00:52:35.240 is the

00:52:35.840 best

00:52:36.300 persuader

00:52:37.160 and

00:52:37.520 communicator

00:52:38.340 of all

00:52:39.400 time,

00:52:41.020 of all

00:52:41.680 time.

00:52:43.340 And if

00:52:44.740 what you're

00:52:45.160 doing is

00:52:45.760 mocking him

00:52:46.820 for the

00:52:48.040 thing that

00:52:48.520 is the

00:52:48.960 best of

00:52:49.720 all time,

00:52:50.860 his

00:52:51.060 communication

00:52:51.520 skills.

00:52:52.200 At Grey Goose,

00:52:59.140 we believe

00:52:59.540 that pleasure

00:53:00.100 is a

00:53:00.500 necessity.

00:53:01.600 That's why

00:53:01.940 we craft the

00:53:02.560 world's number

00:53:03.180 one premium

00:53:03.840 vodka in

00:53:04.440 France,

00:53:05.060 using only

00:53:05.560 three of the

00:53:06.180 finest natural

00:53:07.100 ingredients,

00:53:08.020 French winter

00:53:08.580 wheat,

00:53:09.220 water from

00:53:09.800 Jean Sac,

00:53:10.500 and yeast.

00:53:13.260 With Grey Goose,

00:53:14.620 we invite you to

00:53:15.520 live in the

00:53:15.940 moment and make

00:53:16.880 time wait.

00:53:17.880 Sip responsibly.

00:53:18.780 So, if you

00:53:26.980 were mocking

00:53:27.600 him for

00:53:28.100 something he

00:53:28.740 was doing

00:53:29.280 poorly, that

00:53:31.060 could be a

00:53:31.520 really good

00:53:31.960 strategy.

00:53:33.100 But if you're

00:53:33.920 mocking somebody

00:53:35.060 for a skill,

00:53:37.160 in this case

00:53:37.820 communication

00:53:38.380 skill, in

00:53:40.320 which he is

00:53:40.960 possibly the

00:53:42.280 best in the

00:53:43.060 world in

00:53:44.000 all time,

00:53:45.320 that doesn't

00:53:46.420 really leave a

00:53:47.120 mark, all

00:53:48.520 it is, is

00:53:49.220 it's like a

00:53:49.840 tribute band.

00:53:52.180 Let me say

00:53:53.060 that again.

00:53:54.380 Wait until you

00:53:55.260 feel this.

00:53:57.100 He's become a

00:53:58.160 tribute band

00:53:59.140 for a candidate

00:54:00.740 who's not even

00:54:01.700 running for

00:54:02.240 office again.

00:54:04.640 Think about

00:54:05.500 how weak that

00:54:06.320 is.

00:54:08.020 He's the

00:54:08.840 tribute band.

00:54:10.700 Again, let me

00:54:11.520 say it again.

00:54:12.620 If Trump

00:54:14.000 were a bad

00:54:15.100 communicator,

00:54:16.080 and he

00:54:17.120 were mocking

00:54:17.700 his bad

00:54:18.500 communication

00:54:19.280 skills, that

00:54:20.460 might be

00:54:20.800 something.

00:54:21.980 That might

00:54:22.500 leave a

00:54:22.920 mark.

00:54:24.100 But if the

00:54:24.780 whole point

00:54:25.600 of Trump's

00:54:26.860 communication is

00:54:27.820 even both

00:54:28.560 sides admit,

00:54:29.820 okay, it's

00:54:30.460 the best

00:54:30.960 anybody's ever

00:54:31.980 been in the

00:54:33.180 world, in the

00:54:33.900 history of the

00:54:34.480 whole world,

00:54:35.240 nobody's ever

00:54:36.140 been close.

00:54:37.340 If you're

00:54:38.080 dealing with

00:54:38.680 that as a

00:54:39.720 thing you're

00:54:40.200 mocking, I

00:54:42.860 don't know how

00:54:43.360 good your

00:54:43.940 mocking would

00:54:44.580 have to be,

00:54:45.940 but all it

00:54:46.480 does is draw

00:54:48.460 attention to

00:54:49.200 the fact that

00:54:49.720 he's the

00:54:50.040 best communicator

00:54:51.020 we've ever

00:54:51.520 seen.

00:54:53.200 And then on

00:54:53.740 top of that,

00:54:54.800 it turns you

00:54:55.680 into the

00:54:56.140 tribute band.

00:54:59.180 I'll give you

00:55:00.040 a choice.

00:55:03.560 You can go

00:55:04.640 watch the

00:55:05.380 Beatles give

00:55:07.800 a concert in

00:55:08.760 their prime,

00:55:09.500 if you could

00:55:10.040 travel back in

00:55:10.820 time, or you

00:55:12.960 could go to

00:55:13.480 Vegas and

00:55:14.140 you could

00:55:14.480 watch a

00:55:15.040 tribute band

00:55:15.940 play their

00:55:16.940 songs.

00:55:17.920 Which one

00:55:18.600 would you

00:55:18.920 pick?

00:55:19.520 The tribute

00:55:20.100 band or

00:55:22.700 the Beatles?

00:55:25.320 So that's

00:55:26.100 sort of the

00:55:26.760 comparison that

00:55:28.020 Newsom is

00:55:28.640 setting up.

00:55:30.000 And then he

00:55:30.740 adds the

00:55:31.260 cursing.

00:55:33.420 Of all the

00:55:34.600 things that

00:55:35.160 Trump does,

00:55:36.720 his cursing

00:55:37.620 is the least

00:55:38.780 important but

00:55:40.900 easiest to

00:55:41.740 copy.

00:55:42.080 the appeal

00:55:44.840 of the

00:55:45.240 cursing is

00:55:46.200 that it's

00:55:46.460 easy to

00:55:47.000 do and

00:55:47.660 maybe a

00:55:48.020 little bit

00:55:48.280 of fun.

00:55:50.320 It's not

00:55:51.040 his most

00:55:51.520 important

00:55:52.100 variable.

00:55:53.820 It's not

00:55:54.340 what makes

00:55:54.760 Trump,

00:55:55.200 Trump.

00:55:55.640 If he

00:55:56.200 never swore

00:55:57.280 once,

00:55:58.660 Trump would

00:55:59.100 still be

00:55:59.500 Trump.

00:56:00.760 I mean,

00:56:01.280 you're talking

00:56:01.940 about less

00:56:02.680 than 1%

00:56:03.640 of his

00:56:04.980 technique,

00:56:06.000 which he

00:56:06.960 does well.

00:56:07.540 He's really

00:56:07.940 good at

00:56:08.460 cursing just

00:56:09.280 the right

00:56:09.640 amount.

00:56:12.000 But they

00:56:12.700 think that's

00:56:13.620 the thing

00:56:13.900 to copy.

00:56:16.420 Anyway,

00:56:17.180 I think it

00:56:18.180 would be

00:56:18.460 hilarious if

00:56:20.120 all the

00:56:21.000 Republicans

00:56:21.500 who are

00:56:22.600 pundits

00:56:23.140 played a

00:56:24.580 hoax in

00:56:25.880 which we

00:56:26.340 pretend that

00:56:27.080 the cursing

00:56:27.860 is really

00:56:28.340 working for

00:56:29.020 us.

00:56:31.020 So every

00:56:31.900 time you

00:56:32.280 go on a

00:56:33.040 podcast and

00:56:33.920 you get

00:56:34.220 interviewed,

00:56:35.160 you say,

00:56:35.700 you know,

00:56:36.020 I have

00:56:36.660 to admit

00:56:37.100 that

00:56:38.340 Newsom

00:56:40.160 seemed like

00:56:40.820 an empty

00:56:41.240 suit to

00:56:41.840 me and

00:56:42.300 he didn't

00:56:42.720 feel like

00:56:43.220 he did

00:56:43.520 a good

00:56:43.780 job.

00:56:44.600 But lately

00:56:45.260 with all

00:56:45.780 the cursing,

00:56:47.460 I'm getting

00:56:48.260 a different

00:56:48.700 feeling about

00:56:49.360 him now.

00:56:50.320 A man who

00:56:51.080 could curse

00:56:51.620 like that,

00:56:52.620 well,

00:56:52.860 that's a

00:56:53.200 leader.

00:56:54.300 I mean,

00:56:54.680 I used to

00:56:55.100 like it when

00:56:55.640 Trump would

00:56:56.160 curse,

00:56:56.600 but I

00:56:57.100 believe

00:56:57.560 Newsom is

00:56:58.300 cursing

00:56:58.820 even more.

00:57:00.600 And I'm

00:57:01.220 really drawn

00:57:01.700 to that.

00:57:02.920 So I've

00:57:03.820 decided to

00:57:04.520 re-register

00:57:07.480 as a

00:57:08.240 Democrat

00:57:08.720 so I

00:57:10.200 can vote

00:57:10.520 for him

00:57:10.820 in the

00:57:11.060 primary.

00:57:11.720 Yeah,

00:57:12.140 I wasn't

00:57:13.560 even motivated

00:57:14.180 to vote

00:57:14.900 until I

00:57:16.020 heard him

00:57:16.540 cursing.

00:57:17.140 And I

00:57:17.320 was like,

00:57:17.740 damn it,

00:57:18.940 that man

00:57:19.480 can curse.

00:57:21.240 And then

00:57:21.600 try to

00:57:21.960 make it

00:57:23.860 look like

00:57:25.360 the cursing

00:57:26.160 was the

00:57:26.640 active

00:57:27.000 ingredient

00:57:27.620 so that

00:57:28.560 they never

00:57:28.940 get close

00:57:29.560 to understanding

00:57:30.300 that they

00:57:30.980 really need

00:57:31.600 ideas and

00:57:32.960 they need

00:57:33.880 to learn

00:57:34.260 how to

00:57:34.600 do

00:57:34.740 persuasion

00:57:35.420 and then

00:57:36.160 they would

00:57:36.440 know what

00:57:36.780 the active

00:57:37.300 ingredient

00:57:37.800 part is.

00:57:39.640 Let me

00:57:40.220 tell you

00:57:40.500 where the

00:57:40.820 active

00:57:41.200 ingredient

00:57:41.740 is.

00:57:42.740 You don't

00:57:43.440 want to

00:57:43.720 go home

00:57:44.100 in a

00:57:44.360 body bag.

00:57:47.440 Okay?

00:57:48.260 You can

00:57:48.920 feel that.

00:57:50.040 Now,

00:57:50.240 compare to

00:57:50.960 Trump is

00:57:53.060 effing up

00:57:54.320 the city.

00:57:56.320 I used

00:57:57.020 a swear

00:57:57.360 word.

00:57:57.760 Did anybody

00:57:58.120 catch that?

00:57:59.020 I used

00:57:59.380 a swear

00:57:59.720 word.

00:58:00.060 one of

00:58:04.240 those is

00:58:05.780 four-star

00:58:06.940 A-plus-plus

00:58:08.640 persuasion.

00:58:09.740 It's the

00:58:10.480 body bag

00:58:11.040 one.

00:58:12.040 Yeah.

00:58:12.500 It's not

00:58:12.900 the, oh,

00:58:13.620 he's effing

00:58:14.080 things up.

00:58:14.800 Oh, I'm

00:58:15.880 going to

00:58:16.280 effing fight

00:58:16.820 so hard.

00:58:17.640 Oh.

00:58:20.540 Oh,

00:58:21.300 mockery.

00:58:21.740 I got

00:58:25.040 a happy

00:58:26.180 cat right

00:58:26.800 there.

00:58:31.140 All right.

00:58:32.760 People

00:58:33.240 can't see

00:58:33.880 you if

00:58:34.220 you lay

00:58:35.420 down there.

00:58:36.040 They're

00:58:36.220 going to

00:58:36.320 have to

00:58:36.520 look at

00:58:36.800 me.

00:58:40.220 Well,

00:58:40.820 Trump was

00:58:41.460 asked about

00:58:41.960 Newsom,

00:58:42.520 of course,

00:58:43.500 and Trump

00:58:44.440 said,

00:58:44.940 I know

00:58:46.060 Gavin very

00:58:46.760 well.

00:58:47.160 He's an

00:58:47.540 incompetent

00:58:48.160 guy with

00:58:48.660 a good

00:58:49.000 line of

00:58:49.400 bullshit.

00:58:51.740 So,

00:58:52.740 Trump

00:58:53.020 does the

00:58:54.620 cursing.

00:58:56.920 And again,

00:58:58.180 I don't

00:58:58.980 think it's

00:58:59.880 true,

00:59:01.240 but I

00:59:01.900 love, you

00:59:02.540 know,

00:59:02.720 just

00:59:02.920 recreationally,

00:59:04.020 I like

00:59:04.340 believing,

00:59:05.280 that Trump

00:59:05.800 knows that

00:59:06.440 the more

00:59:06.800 he swears,

00:59:08.260 the more

00:59:08.740 they'll think

00:59:09.200 that's the

00:59:09.700 magic sauce.

00:59:11.980 And see

00:59:12.560 if he can

00:59:13.800 get into

00:59:14.260 a swearing

00:59:14.880 contest with

00:59:15.780 them,

00:59:16.440 and they'll

00:59:17.120 have nothing,

00:59:18.380 nothing at

00:59:19.100 all.

00:59:20.200 Well,

00:59:20.520 so here's

00:59:22.460 how I

00:59:22.740 like this

00:59:23.460 reframe

00:59:24.020 from Trump,

00:59:25.100 or it's

00:59:25.700 a frame,

00:59:26.240 I guess,

00:59:27.120 that Gavin

00:59:28.360 is incompetent,

00:59:31.020 he's a

00:59:31.380 good guy,

00:59:32.720 but he's

00:59:33.400 got a good

00:59:33.880 line of

00:59:34.300 bullshit.

00:59:35.840 Doesn't

00:59:36.320 that feel

00:59:36.880 kind of

00:59:37.500 perfect?

00:59:39.700 Because

00:59:40.180 Newsom has

00:59:41.680 that pretty

00:59:42.340 boy,

00:59:43.060 you know,

00:59:43.280 a little bit

00:59:43.700 too good

00:59:44.160 looking,

00:59:45.000 his hair

00:59:46.060 is too

00:59:46.400 good,

00:59:46.680 he's a

00:59:46.960 little too

00:59:47.320 tall,

00:59:48.380 his tan

00:59:49.160 is a

00:59:49.480 little bit

00:59:49.760 too good,

00:59:50.520 and that

00:59:51.380 sort of

00:59:51.760 biases you

00:59:52.520 to think

00:59:52.980 that maybe

00:59:53.740 he's not

00:59:54.200 that competent

00:59:54.920 because he's,

00:59:56.480 you know,

00:59:56.660 it's hard to be

00:59:57.440 good looking

00:59:58.680 and competent

00:59:59.280 at the same

00:59:59.920 time,

01:00:00.580 you know,

01:00:00.780 not too many

01:00:01.280 people pull

01:00:01.820 that off,

01:00:02.280 I mean,

01:00:02.540 I do,

01:00:03.360 obviously,

01:00:04.280 but not too

01:00:05.740 many people

01:00:06.200 can pull

01:00:06.600 that off.

01:00:08.960 So it's a

01:00:09.780 really good

01:00:10.140 frame,

01:00:10.520 it's sticky,

01:00:11.460 he's an

01:00:11.840 incompetent

01:00:12.520 guy with a

01:00:13.180 good line

01:00:13.620 of bullshit.

01:00:14.040 shit.

01:00:15.780 All right,

01:00:16.440 well,

01:00:16.840 here's an

01:00:17.200 update on

01:00:17.800 John Bolton

01:00:18.820 being raided

01:00:19.800 by the

01:00:20.180 FBI.

01:00:23.860 Can I

01:00:24.400 lay my

01:00:24.780 notes on

01:00:25.240 you,

01:00:25.540 cat?

01:00:26.220 I need

01:00:26.640 them to

01:00:26.960 be sort

01:00:27.400 of right

01:00:27.680 there,

01:00:28.120 but that's

01:00:29.340 sort of

01:00:29.600 where you

01:00:29.920 are.

01:00:30.620 I'm just

01:00:31.040 going to

01:00:31.300 lay them

01:00:31.680 right on

01:00:32.080 top of

01:00:32.520 you.

01:00:33.100 All right,

01:00:34.240 all right,

01:00:34.540 it's working.

01:00:36.780 So,

01:00:37.600 Gary the

01:00:38.180 cat is so

01:00:39.140 relaxed that

01:00:39.960 he doesn't

01:00:41.220 mind if I

01:00:41.980 put my notes

01:00:42.560 on top of

01:00:43.080 him.

01:00:44.060 No,

01:00:44.360 stay down

01:00:44.760 there,

01:00:45.020 it's okay.

01:00:47.840 Anyway,

01:00:48.620 update on

01:00:50.540 Bolton.

01:00:51.740 So,

01:00:52.200 there's

01:00:52.620 some thought

01:00:54.100 that the

01:00:55.480 reason he

01:00:55.920 was being

01:00:56.320 raided is

01:00:56.920 he had

01:00:57.600 some

01:00:57.940 potentially

01:00:59.380 classified

01:01:00.140 materials and

01:01:01.400 that he

01:01:01.900 mentioned

01:01:02.480 them in

01:01:02.860 his book

01:01:03.420 so that

01:01:04.780 there's no

01:01:05.440 real question

01:01:06.920 whether the

01:01:07.600 materials are

01:01:08.260 classified because

01:01:09.420 we already

01:01:10.700 saw the

01:01:11.380 book and

01:01:11.980 I guess

01:01:12.380 I think

01:01:13.560 even the

01:01:14.160 judge because

01:01:15.520 it became

01:01:16.200 a court

01:01:16.640 case and

01:01:18.880 I think

01:01:19.200 the judge

01:01:19.820 even admitted

01:01:20.620 as a

01:01:22.420 statement of

01:01:23.100 fact that

01:01:24.100 it was

01:01:24.380 classified

01:01:24.920 material and

01:01:25.760 he shouldn't

01:01:26.100 have had

01:01:26.400 them but

01:01:27.460 he was

01:01:28.540 still allowed

01:01:29.000 to publish

01:01:30.000 the book.

01:01:31.540 So,

01:01:31.920 but there

01:01:32.820 is some

01:01:33.200 thought that

01:01:34.020 it was more

01:01:34.900 than that and

01:01:35.920 that he

01:01:36.280 might have

01:01:36.640 been behind

01:01:37.340 some other

01:01:38.040 leaks.

01:01:38.820 We don't

01:01:39.080 have evidence

01:01:39.820 of that

01:01:40.220 but we

01:01:41.560 do know

01:01:41.960 that

01:01:42.200 Ratcliffe

01:01:42.720 the head

01:01:43.020 of the

01:01:43.460 CIA is

01:01:44.640 the one

01:01:44.860 who provided

01:01:45.440 the information

01:01:46.280 that was

01:01:46.920 the predicate

01:01:48.100 as they

01:01:48.620 like to

01:01:49.000 say for

01:01:49.960 the FBI

01:01:50.780 to go

01:01:51.180 into his

01:01:51.580 house.

01:01:52.700 So,

01:01:53.500 what would

01:01:54.140 the CIA

01:01:55.140 know that

01:01:58.320 the FBI

01:01:59.160 didn't know

01:01:59.960 already?

01:02:01.400 So,

01:02:01.780 there might

01:02:02.000 be something

01:02:02.440 there we

01:02:03.260 don't know.

01:02:03.600 we'll keep

01:02:05.960 an eye on

01:02:06.460 that.

01:02:07.440 So,

01:02:07.860 do you

01:02:08.140 believe that

01:02:08.980 the Bolton

01:02:10.800 action is

01:02:12.520 more evidence

01:02:13.200 that Trump

01:02:13.960 is on a

01:02:14.560 revenge

01:02:15.160 tour?

01:02:16.460 And how

01:02:17.100 do you

01:02:17.340 feel about

01:02:17.800 that if

01:02:18.280 you think

01:02:18.620 that's

01:02:18.920 what's

01:02:19.140 happening?

01:02:20.800 Here's

01:02:21.380 my take.

01:02:23.080 I believe

01:02:24.020 that the

01:02:25.360 worst thing

01:02:26.120 the country

01:02:26.620 could do

01:02:27.180 is to

01:02:27.720 get into

01:02:28.160 a revenge

01:02:29.100 situation

01:02:30.340 where every

01:02:31.340 new

01:02:31.820 administration

01:02:32.680 wipes out

01:02:34.580 the prior

01:02:35.180 administration

01:02:35.920 tries to

01:02:36.740 put him

01:02:37.000 in jail

01:02:37.380 but we're

01:02:38.760 there.

01:02:40.180 And I

01:02:41.600 have mixed

01:02:42.120 feelings about

01:02:42.920 it.

01:02:44.120 I don't

01:02:45.060 like it

01:02:45.720 but on the

01:02:47.200 other hand

01:02:47.800 the only

01:02:48.600 thing that

01:02:49.060 keeps society

01:02:49.880 together

01:02:50.460 is the

01:02:51.440 risk of

01:02:52.160 mutual

01:02:52.840 destruction.

01:02:54.640 The reason

01:02:55.300 that we're

01:02:56.720 civilized

01:02:57.900 is because

01:02:59.100 we don't

01:02:59.460 want somebody

01:03:00.040 to kill

01:03:00.580 us for

01:03:01.660 being

01:03:02.040 uncivilized

01:03:03.100 around other

01:03:03.940 people.

01:03:04.980 That's it.

01:03:06.060 The only

01:03:06.620 thing that

01:03:07.080 keeps us

01:03:07.660 together as

01:03:08.960 a society

01:03:09.580 is the

01:03:10.160 risk that

01:03:11.240 if we

01:03:11.540 go too

01:03:12.100 far

01:03:12.560 somebody's

01:03:14.100 going to

01:03:14.400 go right

01:03:14.860 too far

01:03:15.460 on our

01:03:16.280 ass.

01:03:17.480 And what

01:03:17.820 we're

01:03:18.060 watching

01:03:18.520 in my

01:03:19.100 opinion

01:03:19.500 is Trump

01:03:21.080 executing

01:03:22.240 mutually

01:03:22.800 assured

01:03:23.300 destruction

01:03:24.000 and that

01:03:25.620 it is

01:03:26.320 revenge

01:03:26.900 and it's

01:03:29.420 necessary.

01:03:31.200 Now you

01:03:31.800 might say

01:03:32.440 but Scott

01:03:33.340 by taking

01:03:34.660 the gloves

01:03:35.240 off and

01:03:35.780 going so

01:03:36.300 hard at

01:03:36.920 his enemies

01:03:37.540 which he

01:03:38.320 is clearly

01:03:38.980 doing

01:03:39.460 it's just

01:03:42.040 going to

01:03:42.300 make them

01:03:42.740 go hard

01:03:43.340 and it

01:03:44.220 will be

01:03:44.500 this endless

01:03:45.220 cycle of

01:03:46.120 revenge

01:03:46.640 to which

01:03:47.920 I say

01:03:48.460 why is it

01:03:50.420 even necessary

01:03:51.480 for him to

01:03:52.080 get revenge?

01:03:52.800 If you

01:03:54.520 don't do

01:03:55.080 something to

01:03:55.740 somebody

01:03:56.220 they don't

01:03:57.280 need

01:03:57.660 revenge

01:03:58.340 so maybe

01:03:59.620 you should

01:04:00.100 learn that

01:04:00.780 you can

01:04:01.140 make the

01:04:01.560 cycle stop

01:04:02.440 just by

01:04:03.420 not trying

01:04:03.960 to lawfare

01:04:04.980 a guy

01:04:05.600 who might

01:04:06.700 become your

01:04:07.240 president

01:04:07.620 later.

01:04:09.700 So I'm

01:04:10.880 completely

01:04:11.460 in favor

01:04:12.420 of the

01:04:13.460 revenge

01:04:14.020 in the

01:04:15.080 context of

01:04:15.920 mutually

01:04:16.320 assured

01:04:16.780 destruction.

01:04:18.060 I do

01:04:18.320 believe that

01:04:18.880 the Democrats

01:04:19.540 went way

01:04:20.180 too far

01:04:20.720 in trying

01:04:21.820 to put

01:04:22.760 him in

01:04:23.040 jail and

01:04:24.040 I think

01:04:24.320 they went

01:04:24.680 way too

01:04:25.200 far in

01:04:25.880 putting other

01:04:26.460 Republicans

01:04:26.960 in jail.

01:04:28.220 Quite a

01:04:28.660 few of

01:04:28.960 them.

01:04:29.700 The ones

01:04:30.380 who were

01:04:30.700 around

01:04:31.220 Trump,

01:04:31.800 you know,

01:04:32.000 his accountants

01:04:33.600 and all

01:04:35.000 of his

01:04:35.320 associates,

01:04:36.160 they went

01:04:36.440 after his

01:04:36.900 family members,

01:04:38.040 they went

01:04:38.320 through his

01:04:38.800 wife's

01:04:39.920 underwear

01:04:40.360 drawer.

01:04:42.160 They went

01:04:43.000 hard.

01:04:44.560 And so

01:04:44.980 in my

01:04:45.520 opinion,

01:04:46.360 if he

01:04:46.800 did not

01:04:47.480 unleash

01:04:48.140 full

01:04:48.760 mutually

01:04:49.300 assured

01:04:49.820 destruction,

01:04:50.780 and he

01:04:51.160 is,

01:04:51.520 but if

01:04:52.760 he had

01:04:53.060 not,

01:04:54.380 it would

01:04:55.020 have

01:04:55.140 empowered

01:04:55.580 them to

01:04:56.080 be like

01:04:56.480 that in

01:04:56.780 the future.

01:04:58.140 He has

01:04:58.940 to go

01:04:59.440 full

01:05:00.200 salt the

01:05:01.320 earth,

01:05:02.320 and he's

01:05:03.260 got to

01:05:03.680 pull as

01:05:05.240 many of

01:05:05.660 those weeds

01:05:06.240 as he can

01:05:06.940 in the time

01:05:07.560 that he

01:05:07.840 has,

01:05:08.560 because

01:05:09.600 society

01:05:10.620 requires

01:05:11.420 that you

01:05:12.500 not be

01:05:13.280 what the

01:05:14.460 anti-Trumpers

01:05:15.280 were.

01:05:16.120 You can't

01:05:17.080 be in

01:05:17.360 power.

01:05:18.480 You cannot

01:05:19.060 be in

01:05:19.500 power and

01:05:20.140 be like

01:05:20.540 that,

01:05:21.420 because

01:05:21.720 whoever

01:05:22.060 comes after

01:05:22.720 he was

01:05:23.080 going to

01:05:23.440 get the

01:05:23.980 revenge,

01:05:24.580 and we're

01:05:24.820 just going

01:05:25.260 to sit

01:05:25.540 back and

01:05:25.960 watch.

01:05:27.400 Do people

01:05:28.100 like me

01:05:28.480 have the

01:05:28.900 power to

01:05:30.180 put the

01:05:30.660 brakes on

01:05:31.320 this by

01:05:32.460 complaining?

01:05:33.700 The answer

01:05:34.160 is yes.

01:05:35.560 Yes.

01:05:36.360 This would

01:05:37.120 be one of

01:05:37.700 the categories.

01:05:38.640 It wouldn't

01:05:39.280 be true for

01:05:40.380 every category,

01:05:41.580 but for

01:05:41.980 some categories

01:05:42.920 like this,

01:05:43.960 if people

01:05:45.980 like me,

01:05:47.460 the people

01:05:47.960 who talk

01:05:48.400 about politics

01:05:49.180 and are

01:05:49.500 pro-Trump,

01:05:50.160 et cetera,

01:05:50.720 if we were

01:05:51.740 unified against

01:05:53.040 this,

01:05:54.480 he'd cut it

01:05:55.460 out.

01:05:57.200 Because there

01:05:57.840 are enough

01:05:58.540 of us.

01:05:58.960 I mean,

01:05:59.560 Trump is

01:06:00.100 smart enough

01:06:00.840 that he

01:06:01.160 knows he

01:06:01.600 needs the

01:06:02.220 pundits,

01:06:02.960 the podcasters,

01:06:04.240 and that that

01:06:05.020 world supports

01:06:05.800 him.

01:06:06.580 If we were

01:06:07.460 all on the

01:06:08.240 other side

01:06:08.960 and said,

01:06:09.600 no, no,

01:06:10.040 no, don't

01:06:10.560 be a revenge

01:06:11.540 administration,

01:06:12.960 we can't

01:06:13.320 handle this,

01:06:13.860 it might

01:06:14.200 trigger a

01:06:15.000 civil war.

01:06:16.140 If we

01:06:17.000 said that,

01:06:18.060 we could

01:06:18.520 slow him

01:06:19.020 down.

01:06:21.580 And so

01:06:23.240 I'm taking

01:06:23.780 some risk

01:06:24.500 and taking

01:06:25.100 some responsibility

01:06:26.040 at the same

01:06:26.760 time.

01:06:28.360 I'm taking

01:06:29.300 some responsibility

01:06:30.420 because he's

01:06:31.600 the candidate

01:06:32.260 I support,

01:06:33.820 that I'm also

01:06:34.580 going to share

01:06:35.180 that risk.

01:06:36.340 I feel like

01:06:37.100 he has a

01:06:37.700 free hand

01:06:38.380 for full

01:06:39.380 revenge

01:06:40.040 as long

01:06:41.920 as

01:06:42.440 there's

01:06:44.100 backing

01:06:44.440 for it.

01:06:45.780 I mean,

01:06:46.360 it doesn't

01:06:47.160 count if

01:06:48.620 he just

01:06:49.000 starts taking

01:06:49.600 out people

01:06:50.080 who are

01:06:50.600 good at

01:06:51.220 their job

01:06:51.720 at being

01:06:52.120 Democrats.

01:06:53.000 That doesn't

01:06:53.620 count.

01:06:54.500 If somehow

01:06:55.360 he started

01:06:56.080 looking for,

01:06:57.280 I don't know,

01:06:58.500 some dirt on

01:06:59.380 Fetterman,

01:07:00.380 just so they

01:07:01.340 could find

01:07:01.760 some way to

01:07:02.280 put him in

01:07:02.660 jail,

01:07:03.000 I'd be

01:07:03.360 against that.

01:07:04.580 Very much

01:07:05.540 against that.

01:07:06.160 That would

01:07:06.460 flip me

01:07:07.040 immediately.

01:07:07.800 But so

01:07:08.920 far,

01:07:09.780 it looks like

01:07:10.680 he's only

01:07:11.280 getting rid

01:07:11.720 of people

01:07:12.120 who participated

01:07:13.280 in hoaxes

01:07:14.380 against him

01:07:15.000 or acts

01:07:16.900 which I

01:07:17.380 would consider

01:07:18.000 unethical,

01:07:19.660 going after

01:07:20.340 the January

01:07:20.860 6th,

01:07:21.440 for example.

01:07:23.240 So he's

01:07:23.940 on strong

01:07:24.500 ground.

01:07:25.440 I'm completely

01:07:26.400 supportive of,

01:07:27.780 if they want

01:07:28.280 to call it

01:07:28.720 revenge,

01:07:29.860 go ahead.

01:07:31.360 I call it

01:07:32.000 mutually assured

01:07:32.820 destruction has

01:07:33.860 been activated

01:07:34.620 and he's the

01:07:35.480 agent of it.

01:07:36.240 and he's

01:07:37.300 going to

01:07:37.520 make sure

01:07:38.020 that if you

01:07:38.880 think about

01:07:39.600 law-faring

01:07:41.240 the next

01:07:42.040 leader,

01:07:43.700 maybe you

01:07:44.240 should think

01:07:44.620 about what

01:07:45.000 happens when

01:07:45.580 you do that.

01:07:46.640 Maybe you

01:07:47.000 should think

01:07:47.600 that that

01:07:48.620 leader is

01:07:49.120 going to

01:07:49.380 kick your

01:07:49.760 ass if

01:07:50.780 he gets

01:07:51.160 a chance.

01:07:52.580 So that's

01:07:53.160 okay with

01:07:53.560 me.

01:07:54.380 Hold

01:07:54.700 society

01:07:55.260 together.

01:07:59.920 Apparently

01:08:00.520 Chairman

01:08:02.960 Comer,

01:08:04.200 Republican,

01:08:05.260 is looking

01:08:06.100 at subpoenaing

01:08:07.860 Kamala Harris

01:08:08.780 to talk

01:08:09.260 about the

01:08:10.100 hiding of

01:08:11.480 Biden's

01:08:12.340 health

01:08:12.900 problems.

01:08:16.180 And I

01:08:16.980 have two

01:08:17.400 feelings on

01:08:18.120 that.

01:08:18.460 Number

01:08:18.640 one,

01:08:20.640 yes.

01:08:21.940 Yes, I

01:08:22.700 would like to

01:08:23.220 know what

01:08:23.540 she says

01:08:24.040 about that.

01:08:25.380 And the

01:08:26.700 other

01:08:27.040 feeling is

01:08:28.480 yes.

01:08:29.780 And why

01:08:30.520 haven't we

01:08:30.960 done that

01:08:31.360 yet?

01:08:32.160 Why is it

01:08:32.880 even a

01:08:33.320 question?

01:08:33.700 she was

01:08:34.500 the vice

01:08:34.920 president.

01:08:36.140 That's the

01:08:36.700 most obvious

01:08:37.240 person to

01:08:37.860 ask.

01:08:38.780 What did

01:08:39.300 you know?

01:08:40.500 And when

01:08:40.920 did you

01:08:41.280 know it?

01:08:41.800 And why

01:08:42.220 didn't you

01:08:42.740 do something

01:08:43.320 about it?

01:08:44.120 So yeah,

01:08:44.500 I hope that

01:08:44.920 happens.

01:08:45.640 I don't know

01:08:46.360 that it

01:08:46.700 will.

01:08:47.240 And if she

01:08:47.740 did,

01:08:48.180 maybe she

01:08:49.400 would just

01:08:49.700 take the

01:08:50.240 fifth,

01:08:50.660 which would

01:08:51.100 look really

01:08:51.620 weak.

01:08:52.020 believe it

01:08:54.720 or not,

01:08:55.420 we now

01:08:55.860 have the

01:08:56.360 Ghislaine

01:08:56.820 Maxwell

01:08:57.300 transcript

01:08:58.000 and audio.

01:09:00.300 I think

01:09:00.780 it's,

01:09:01.320 is it

01:09:02.140 fully

01:09:02.500 unredacted?

01:09:03.440 It might

01:09:03.720 be.

01:09:05.780 Where

01:09:06.280 Trump's

01:09:07.100 ex-personal

01:09:07.940 lawyer,

01:09:08.620 who now

01:09:09.100 works for

01:09:09.500 him in

01:09:09.740 another

01:09:09.960 capacity,

01:09:11.300 interviewed

01:09:12.520 her and

01:09:13.940 asked all

01:09:14.420 the important

01:09:14.880 questions.

01:09:15.840 So there

01:09:16.320 were quite

01:09:16.980 a few

01:09:17.300 things that

01:09:17.820 came out

01:09:18.240 of it.

01:09:19.080 So I'll

01:09:19.620 run down

01:09:20.000 the list.

01:09:20.540 Big part

01:09:22.340 of the

01:09:22.600 list I

01:09:23.260 got from

01:09:24.200 Data

01:09:24.580 Republican.

01:09:25.900 So on

01:09:26.360 X, the

01:09:27.120 Data

01:09:27.540 Republican

01:09:28.120 account,

01:09:29.600 did a

01:09:30.080 good job

01:09:30.500 of summarizing

01:09:31.400 some of

01:09:32.040 the things

01:09:32.280 we learned.

01:09:32.780 All right.

01:09:33.520 So before

01:09:34.900 I tell you

01:09:35.580 what we've

01:09:36.060 learned,

01:09:36.860 can we all

01:09:37.440 agree on

01:09:38.140 the following?

01:09:39.440 She is

01:09:40.000 not a

01:09:40.800 credible

01:09:41.400 witness.

01:09:43.160 Everybody?

01:09:44.920 Because

01:09:45.440 otherwise it's

01:09:46.560 going to

01:09:46.820 drive me

01:09:47.280 crazy when

01:09:48.440 I look in

01:09:48.940 the comments

01:09:49.520 and you're

01:09:50.380 yelling at

01:09:50.860 me and

01:09:51.120 saying,

01:09:51.460 Scott,

01:09:52.020 you fool.

01:09:53.460 Don't you

01:09:53.960 know that

01:09:54.540 she lies?

01:09:56.260 Can we

01:09:56.860 all start

01:09:57.760 by saying

01:09:58.400 we all

01:09:59.260 understand

01:10:00.140 she's not

01:10:02.040 a credible

01:10:02.960 witness on

01:10:04.460 anything she

01:10:05.420 says?

01:10:06.660 Say it.

01:10:07.620 Say it out

01:10:08.100 loud.

01:10:08.540 I understand

01:10:09.080 she's not

01:10:10.060 a credible

01:10:10.960 witness.

01:10:12.100 And then I

01:10:12.520 can save

01:10:13.000 some time

01:10:13.660 when I tell

01:10:14.960 you the

01:10:15.240 things she

01:10:15.600 said so I

01:10:16.780 don't have

01:10:17.100 to stop

01:10:17.580 after every

01:10:18.340 fucking one

01:10:19.320 and say

01:10:20.320 but remember

01:10:22.260 I'm smart

01:10:23.600 enough to

01:10:24.060 know it's

01:10:25.080 not necessarily

01:10:25.920 true because

01:10:27.120 she said

01:10:27.720 it.

01:10:28.200 Are we

01:10:28.700 all on the

01:10:28.980 same page?

01:10:29.800 Can we

01:10:30.080 handle this?

01:10:31.580 All right.

01:10:33.640 All right.

01:10:36.660 Glenn Maxwell

01:10:37.660 says that Trump

01:10:38.640 never did

01:10:39.260 anything

01:10:39.840 inappropriate

01:10:40.420 and that he

01:10:41.500 was a

01:10:41.880 gentleman in

01:10:42.500 all respects

01:10:43.260 and that he

01:10:44.360 was never

01:10:44.780 even around

01:10:45.600 a massage

01:10:46.320 setting.

01:10:48.820 Hold.

01:10:50.820 Hold.

01:10:53.160 Hold.

01:10:55.360 I know

01:10:56.540 you want

01:10:57.580 so badly

01:10:58.380 to say

01:10:58.920 but

01:10:59.960 she got

01:11:02.360 returned

01:11:03.020 a better

01:11:04.160 jail

01:11:04.760 so

01:11:05.880 of course

01:11:07.600 she said

01:11:08.120 that because

01:11:08.680 he might

01:11:09.080 pardon her.

01:11:10.580 Hold.

01:11:11.160 hold.

01:11:12.800 We all

01:11:13.860 understand

01:11:14.500 that.

01:11:15.680 You don't

01:11:16.440 need to

01:11:16.780 say it

01:11:17.100 in the

01:11:17.360 comments.

01:11:18.600 You don't.

01:11:20.980 No matter

01:11:21.700 how much

01:11:22.160 of an

01:11:22.440 NPC you

01:11:23.140 are you

01:11:23.400 don't have

01:11:23.740 to say

01:11:24.080 it.

01:11:24.560 We all

01:11:24.860 know.

01:11:25.800 When I

01:11:26.420 found out

01:11:26.820 my friend

01:11:27.300 got a

01:11:27.660 great deal

01:11:28.260 on a

01:11:28.600 wool coat

01:11:29.020 from

01:11:29.240 Winners

01:11:29.580 I started

01:11:30.620 wondering

01:11:31.040 is every

01:11:32.360 fabulous

01:11:32.860 item I

01:11:33.340 see from

01:11:33.800 Winners?

01:11:34.440 Like that

01:11:35.160 woman over

01:11:35.640 there with

01:11:36.100 the designer

01:11:36.540 jeans.

01:11:37.420 Are those

01:11:37.960 from Winners?

01:11:38.920 Ooh.

01:11:39.500 Are those

01:11:39.860 beautiful gold

01:11:40.460 earrings?

01:11:41.360 Did she

01:11:41.620 pay full

01:11:41.920 price?

01:11:42.680 Or that

01:11:42.960 leather tote?

01:11:43.700 Or that

01:11:43.960 cashmere

01:11:44.320 sweater?

01:11:44.880 Or those

01:11:45.240 knee-high

01:11:45.540 boots?

01:11:46.380 That dress?

01:11:47.160 That jacket?

01:11:47.840 Those shoes?

01:11:48.860 Is anyone

01:11:49.640 paying full

01:11:50.280 price for

01:11:50.840 anything?

01:11:51.820 Stop

01:11:52.280 wondering.

01:11:53.080 Start

01:11:53.320 winning.

01:11:54.020 Winners

01:11:54.420 find

01:11:54.820 fabulous

01:11:55.280 for less.

01:11:57.120 All right.

01:11:58.060 She also

01:11:58.760 said that

01:11:59.260 Bill Clinton

01:11:59.840 never went

01:12:00.580 to the

01:12:00.920 island and

01:12:01.840 I don't

01:12:02.180 think she

01:12:02.780 believes she

01:12:03.440 saw him

01:12:03.860 do anything

01:12:04.380 inappropriate

01:12:04.860 either.

01:12:05.980 Huh.

01:12:06.680 So you're

01:12:07.620 telling me

01:12:08.280 that Bill

01:12:09.060 Clinton

01:12:09.520 the guy

01:12:11.960 who's

01:12:12.240 associated

01:12:12.860 with the

01:12:13.340 highest

01:12:13.660 body

01:12:14.160 count

01:12:14.700 through his

01:12:15.720 wife

01:12:16.120 that he

01:12:18.060 never did

01:12:18.700 anything on

01:12:19.160 the island

01:12:19.480 either.

01:12:20.140 Huh.

01:12:20.780 Huh.

01:12:21.740 Well,

01:12:22.120 totally

01:12:22.600 believable.

01:12:24.900 She said

01:12:25.960 Trump did

01:12:26.480 not receive

01:12:27.020 any massages.

01:12:29.460 She said

01:12:30.320 Bill Clinton

01:12:30.900 didn't even

01:12:31.540 visit the

01:12:32.200 island.

01:12:33.320 She said

01:12:33.680 there's no

01:12:34.100 client list.

01:12:35.580 Epstein

01:12:35.880 didn't work

01:12:36.580 for any

01:12:36.980 intelligence

01:12:37.500 agency.

01:12:43.740 She said

01:12:44.680 that there

01:12:45.040 were no

01:12:45.440 cameras on

01:12:46.320 the island

01:12:46.860 so that

01:12:49.880 there are

01:12:50.480 no videos.

01:12:52.920 I know.

01:12:54.160 Hold.

01:12:55.860 Hold.

01:12:56.580 Don't make

01:12:57.140 me say it

01:12:57.700 again.

01:12:58.840 Hold.

01:13:01.960 And let's

01:13:02.780 see.

01:13:03.060 so apparently

01:13:05.820 Ghislaine

01:13:09.260 Maxwell

01:13:09.740 said she

01:13:10.460 worked with

01:13:11.960 Clinton to

01:13:13.360 set up the

01:13:13.960 Clinton Global

01:13:15.120 Initiative.

01:13:17.000 And I

01:13:17.640 believe that's

01:13:18.220 the entity

01:13:18.840 that everybody

01:13:20.000 assumes was a

01:13:21.340 pay for play,

01:13:22.820 was a huge

01:13:23.820 bribery

01:13:25.080 mechanism so

01:13:26.700 that foreigners

01:13:27.460 could pay large

01:13:28.380 amounts of money

01:13:28.960 into it.

01:13:29.520 and then

01:13:30.760 Hillary Clinton

01:13:31.500 when she

01:13:31.980 was State

01:13:33.440 Department

01:13:33.920 and or

01:13:34.620 Senator I

01:13:35.420 guess would

01:13:37.420 have would

01:13:37.980 have done

01:13:38.280 what they

01:13:38.640 wanted in

01:13:39.560 return for

01:13:40.080 that large

01:13:40.560 amount of

01:13:40.860 money to

01:13:41.260 their Clinton

01:13:42.140 Global

01:13:42.760 Initiative which

01:13:43.780 they allegedly

01:13:45.720 may have

01:13:46.260 siphoned off

01:13:47.040 for themselves.

01:13:51.760 And she

01:13:53.020 believes that

01:13:53.600 Jeffrey Epstein

01:13:54.320 actually funded

01:13:55.500 the Clinton

01:13:56.160 Global

01:13:56.680 Initiative and

01:13:58.240 that that

01:13:58.680 that was the

01:13:59.760 main reason

01:14:00.380 that Clinton

01:14:00.960 and Epstein

01:14:01.800 had a

01:14:02.460 relationship

01:14:02.920 is financial.

01:14:06.160 Okay.

01:14:09.100 And let's

01:14:10.020 see.

01:14:11.760 So the

01:14:12.700 new movie

01:14:13.600 that's

01:14:14.020 emerging

01:14:15.040 I'm going to

01:14:16.400 call the

01:14:16.760 Mike Benz

01:14:17.640 filter on it

01:14:18.520 is that

01:14:19.520 it's possible

01:14:20.340 and I'm not

01:14:22.100 going to say

01:14:22.560 that this is

01:14:23.180 my view of

01:14:23.940 it but it's

01:14:25.660 possible that

01:14:27.300 the sex

01:14:29.120 crimes were

01:14:30.100 entirely

01:14:30.860 Epstein

01:14:31.880 doing it

01:14:32.600 himself and

01:14:34.620 or just

01:14:35.720 some people

01:14:36.240 close to him

01:14:37.020 that he

01:14:37.320 might you

01:14:37.760 know may

01:14:38.020 have pulled

01:14:38.500 into the

01:14:39.160 scene but

01:14:40.960 that it

01:14:41.460 might not

01:14:41.860 be about

01:14:42.780 it might not

01:14:44.320 be blackmail

01:14:45.000 that rather

01:14:46.520 he seems to

01:14:47.340 have been

01:14:47.580 involved in

01:14:48.300 very large

01:14:49.280 financial

01:14:50.060 entities and

01:14:51.880 transactions

01:14:53.620 actions and

01:14:54.940 that he

01:14:55.480 seemed to

01:14:55.900 be an

01:14:56.180 expert on

01:14:57.140 rich people

01:14:58.060 hiding and

01:14:58.800 moving money

01:14:59.440 that can't

01:14:59.920 be tracked

01:15:00.500 so that

01:15:02.740 makes sense

01:15:03.320 if he was

01:15:03.880 setting up

01:15:04.320 the Clinton

01:15:05.640 global

01:15:06.280 whatever it

01:15:06.880 was that

01:15:07.780 he was an

01:15:08.280 expert on

01:15:09.820 helping rich

01:15:10.440 people make

01:15:11.080 money illegitimately

01:15:12.240 and or hiding

01:15:13.840 it illegitimately

01:15:14.880 and it could

01:15:16.320 be that

01:15:17.420 everything we

01:15:18.120 think was

01:15:18.840 you know

01:15:19.480 blackmail scheme

01:15:20.560 and working

01:15:21.320 with intelligence

01:15:22.520 agencies may

01:15:24.120 have been

01:15:24.440 nothing but a

01:15:25.100 whole bunch of

01:15:25.620 opportunities that

01:15:27.620 were big ones

01:15:28.400 so they may

01:15:30.500 have intersected

01:15:31.620 with some

01:15:32.180 intelligence people

01:15:33.180 but that he

01:15:34.080 wasn't on their

01:15:34.680 payroll it's

01:15:36.360 entirely possible

01:15:37.300 that he worked

01:15:37.920 with some of

01:15:38.460 them and that

01:15:39.500 maybe he helped

01:15:40.440 him out in

01:15:40.940 some cases in

01:15:41.820 return for some

01:15:42.680 other favors so

01:15:44.260 I wouldn't say

01:15:45.720 that he had no

01:15:47.400 contact with any

01:15:48.400 intelligence people

01:15:49.320 but it might

01:15:50.420 be that that

01:15:51.680 wasn't sort of

01:15:52.920 what defined

01:15:53.540 him it could

01:15:55.160 be that was

01:15:55.740 just opportunistic

01:15:56.780 or something

01:15:57.380 and that really

01:15:58.720 he was just

01:15:59.260 looking for

01:15:59.820 gigantic financial

01:16:01.460 transactions and

01:16:03.400 that it helped

01:16:04.260 him to have

01:16:05.380 close personal

01:16:06.460 relationships with

01:16:07.460 people not

01:16:08.100 necessarily for

01:16:09.120 blackmail but

01:16:12.300 if you did

01:16:14.040 some let's say

01:16:15.140 hypothetically you

01:16:17.380 had some rich

01:16:18.140 friend or

01:16:19.320 and the two

01:16:20.100 of you got

01:16:20.720 into some

01:16:21.720 sketchy sexual

01:16:23.700 behavior that

01:16:24.600 the two of you

01:16:25.260 knew about but

01:16:25.880 other people

01:16:26.340 didn't you

01:16:30.160 probably would

01:16:32.200 be more open

01:16:33.840 to you know

01:16:35.060 working with

01:16:35.820 that person so

01:16:36.640 they didn't sell

01:16:37.600 you out so it

01:16:41.580 could be that

01:16:42.440 the situation

01:16:43.200 with that with

01:16:45.440 Epstein was more

01:16:46.480 nuanced but that's

01:16:48.040 not my that's

01:16:49.380 not my view I'm

01:16:51.000 just saying that

01:16:51.800 there are more

01:16:52.660 than one movie

01:16:53.500 has now appeared

01:16:55.160 we don't know

01:16:56.120 which one is

01:16:56.620 true

01:16:56.920 Ghislaine thought

01:16:58.760 that Epstein

01:17:00.060 did not kill

01:17:01.020 himself so she

01:17:02.040 thinks he was

01:17:02.660 murdered but

01:17:03.380 doesn't know by

01:17:04.020 who

01:17:04.280 she denies that

01:17:08.800 she solicited

01:17:09.820 women for

01:17:10.620 Epstein

01:17:11.140 I've certainly

01:17:15.160 read lots of

01:17:16.000 details that would

01:17:16.920 suggest that she

01:17:17.760 did

01:17:18.100 she did not

01:17:21.460 see underage

01:17:22.480 girls involved

01:17:23.560 with anything

01:17:24.520 non-consensual or

01:17:25.920 anything improper

01:17:26.780 okay we don't

01:17:28.220 believe that

01:17:28.900 Maxwell says

01:17:30.200 that again I'm

01:17:31.540 using the data

01:17:32.960 Republicans summary

01:17:34.500 here says there's

01:17:36.740 never been a list

01:17:37.880 you know like a

01:17:38.820 client list which

01:17:40.040 would make sense

01:17:41.120 if he wasn't in

01:17:43.560 the business of

01:17:44.500 just blackmail if

01:17:46.420 he was in the

01:17:47.040 business of knowing

01:17:48.140 as many rich people

01:17:49.160 as possible and

01:17:50.200 helping them you

01:17:51.440 know set up clever

01:17:52.480 schemes with their

01:17:53.480 money it could be

01:17:55.800 that the sexual

01:17:56.940 stuff was just

01:17:58.060 it made sense in

01:17:59.100 some cases didn't

01:18:00.900 make sense to bring

01:18:01.800 somebody into that

01:18:02.580 world in other

01:18:03.200 cases and he just

01:18:04.220 discriminated

01:18:04.980 and Maxwell said

01:18:09.100 there was no

01:18:09.580 blackmail and no

01:18:11.740 intelligence ties as

01:18:13.040 I said and

01:18:14.800 Epstein managed the

01:18:16.300 money of Elizabeth

01:18:17.220 Johnson a Johnson

01:18:19.260 and Johnson air in

01:18:20.480 the 90s and he

01:18:21.920 had a business

01:18:22.660 relationship

01:18:23.360 with the ex

01:18:25.460 head of the

01:18:27.680 ex-CEO of

01:18:28.640 Barclays I

01:18:29.740 don't know why

01:18:30.160 that's important

01:18:30.800 and he helped

01:18:33.220 Linda Rothschild

01:18:34.460 financially but

01:18:35.760 Rothschild will

01:18:36.620 deny it I

01:18:38.660 don't know why

01:18:39.080 this stuff is

01:18:39.680 important and

01:18:41.340 he hung out with

01:18:43.580 the president of

01:18:44.540 Colombia and met

01:18:45.480 with Castro in

01:18:46.560 Cuba Larry

01:18:47.880 Sommer was a

01:18:48.820 personal friend of

01:18:49.820 Epstein Larry

01:18:51.600 Sommer so he's a

01:18:53.120 very prominent

01:18:53.940 Hillary Clinton

01:18:55.380 friend and

01:18:56.580 prominent

01:18:57.060 Democrat

01:18:57.900 Maxwell says she

01:19:00.240 thinks she met

01:19:01.180 Alex Soros the

01:19:02.700 son of George

01:19:03.760 Soros at an

01:19:04.900 event but doesn't

01:19:05.780 remember the exact

01:19:07.440 context

01:19:08.160 she said that

01:19:12.320 Sergey Brin held a

01:19:13.780 birthday party

01:19:14.680 possibly with

01:19:16.500 Epstein and

01:19:18.760 that Elon Musk

01:19:19.700 was present

01:19:20.600 that doesn't

01:19:21.760 mean anything

01:19:22.220 Bobby Kennedy

01:19:23.460 knew Epstein

01:19:24.180 that doesn't

01:19:24.800 mean anything

01:19:25.420 Trump seemed

01:19:28.160 friendly with

01:19:28.880 Epstein but

01:19:29.540 explicitly says

01:19:30.640 she never saw

01:19:31.300 anything improper

01:19:32.020 and the

01:19:33.980 Epstein liked to

01:19:34.840 invite famous

01:19:36.320 scientists like

01:19:37.460 Stephen Jay

01:19:38.200 Gould for

01:19:38.880 dinner he

01:19:39.860 liked talking

01:19:40.500 science

01:19:41.100 all right well

01:19:43.520 so in

01:19:46.380 summary we

01:19:47.720 can't believe a

01:19:48.520 single thing that

01:19:49.420 Maxwell said

01:19:50.320 but here's the

01:19:52.840 genius of it from

01:19:53.940 Trump's perspective

01:19:54.940 I saw a lot of

01:19:56.960 accounts on social

01:19:58.080 media say and

01:19:59.420 there it is

01:20:00.240 Maxwell says

01:20:01.480 that Trump

01:20:01.860 never did

01:20:02.300 anything case

01:20:03.100 closed is it

01:20:05.040 I mean that's

01:20:07.060 as far as you

01:20:07.920 can get from

01:20:08.560 being a credible

01:20:09.500 report so I

01:20:11.180 don't think the

01:20:11.740 case is closed

01:20:12.760 I don't think

01:20:13.520 that Trump did

01:20:14.120 anything inappropriate

01:20:15.100 but I but to

01:20:17.180 imagine that

01:20:17.960 Maxwell could be

01:20:18.920 the one to

01:20:19.480 confirm it

01:20:20.180 however because

01:20:22.360 people are not

01:20:23.640 you know up to

01:20:25.120 date on all the

01:20:25.840 details of a

01:20:26.700 story like this

01:20:27.480 the fact that

01:20:28.660 Maxwell did

01:20:29.780 very clearly

01:20:31.100 deny that

01:20:32.080 Trump did

01:20:32.600 anything

01:20:33.020 inappropriate

01:20:33.860 Trump and

01:20:35.340 all of his

01:20:35.800 supporters will

01:20:36.600 forever be able

01:20:37.660 to say that

01:20:38.480 and the person

01:20:40.100 who might know

01:20:41.080 the difference

01:20:41.640 is saying no

01:20:42.140 no that came

01:20:42.740 from Maxwell

01:20:43.300 you can't trust

01:20:44.980 that but it

01:20:47.460 won't matter

01:20:48.200 because the

01:20:49.760 mere existence

01:20:50.740 of the fact

01:20:51.820 that Maxwell

01:20:52.640 said as

01:20:53.500 clearly as

01:20:54.280 possible that

01:20:54.980 he was not

01:20:55.380 involved in

01:20:55.920 anything is

01:20:57.040 really going to

01:20:57.800 carry a lot

01:20:58.400 of persuasion

01:20:59.360 weight it

01:21:00.860 should not

01:21:01.680 but it will

01:21:03.800 because it's

01:21:05.000 associated with

01:21:05.820 a person and

01:21:07.280 there's an

01:21:07.640 actual quote and

01:21:09.520 it will be

01:21:09.920 repeated and

01:21:10.800 repeated and

01:21:11.500 repeated and

01:21:12.980 most people will

01:21:13.980 only hear it as

01:21:15.240 a headline

01:21:15.800 Maxwell says

01:21:17.640 Trump didn't do

01:21:18.340 anything wrong

01:21:18.860 that they will

01:21:20.940 forget that

01:21:22.740 maybe she had

01:21:23.380 something to

01:21:23.960 gain and she

01:21:24.980 was you know

01:21:25.460 playing the system

01:21:26.320 they will not

01:21:27.480 see the context

01:21:28.840 where everything

01:21:30.500 else she said

01:21:31.400 looks pretty

01:21:32.940 unbelievable

01:21:34.260 pretty sketchy

01:21:36.440 or maybe half

01:21:37.100 of it looks

01:21:37.760 just obviously

01:21:38.480 sketchy

01:21:39.220 so it's

01:21:41.580 going to lose

01:21:42.520 over time

01:21:43.400 it's going to

01:21:44.100 lose all the

01:21:44.880 nuance that

01:21:46.460 would help you

01:21:47.260 not find it

01:21:48.360 credible and

01:21:49.920 by repetition

01:21:50.860 and the fact

01:21:52.480 that people just

01:21:53.120 hear the

01:21:53.480 highlight it

01:21:55.120 will become

01:21:55.640 very persuasive

01:21:56.820 in Trump's

01:21:57.940 favor and it

01:21:58.900 already is

01:21:59.500 all right

01:22:02.460 and Trump

01:22:07.460 said the

01:22:08.240 Democrats don't

01:22:09.100 know what to

01:22:09.740 do so they

01:22:10.960 keep bringing

01:22:11.600 this stuff up

01:22:12.480 meaning Epstein

01:22:13.460 stuff he said

01:22:14.540 it's a hoax to

01:22:15.620 diminish the

01:22:16.320 significance of

01:22:17.220 what we've done

01:22:17.800 over the past

01:22:18.400 seven months

01:22:19.080 well I don't

01:22:20.420 know if you

01:22:22.340 know that's

01:22:23.000 completely true

01:22:23.860 but they

01:22:25.320 certainly would

01:22:25.920 like the

01:22:27.140 public to

01:22:27.640 think about

01:22:28.180 it more

01:22:28.500 than his

01:22:29.540 accomplishments

01:22:30.120 Tulsi

01:22:33.740 Gabbert

01:22:34.200 shut down

01:22:35.440 something called

01:22:36.460 the foreign

01:22:38.660 malign influence

01:22:40.380 center

01:22:40.880 now if you

01:22:43.880 heard it was

01:22:44.400 the foreign

01:22:45.260 malign influence

01:22:46.660 center you

01:22:47.280 would assume

01:22:47.780 that their job

01:22:49.060 was to keep

01:22:49.760 foreign entities

01:22:50.680 from influencing

01:22:51.700 the US in a

01:22:52.780 negative way

01:22:53.440 but allegedly

01:22:55.780 it was used

01:22:57.900 to suppress

01:22:58.900 free speech

01:23:00.540 in the United

01:23:01.180 States

01:23:01.680 so it was a

01:23:03.100 clever work

01:23:03.960 around to

01:23:04.880 actually control

01:23:05.720 the United

01:23:06.180 States

01:23:06.580 so she

01:23:09.020 shut that

01:23:09.600 down

01:23:10.100 it makes you

01:23:11.040 wonder how

01:23:11.520 many entities

01:23:12.100 are there

01:23:12.640 that are

01:23:13.720 funded by

01:23:14.460 taxpayers

01:23:15.040 but if you

01:23:16.360 knew what

01:23:16.860 they did

01:23:17.360 you'd say

01:23:17.960 wait a minute

01:23:18.500 I don't want

01:23:19.700 that

01:23:20.080 stop doing

01:23:21.460 that right

01:23:22.100 away

01:23:22.520 according to

01:23:26.500 Nature

01:23:27.160 publication

01:23:28.760 peer reviewers

01:23:30.860 are more

01:23:31.520 likely to

01:23:32.200 prove an

01:23:32.880 article

01:23:33.380 for peer

01:23:34.600 review

01:23:35.040 that cite

01:23:36.760 their own

01:23:37.200 work

01:23:37.660 now I

01:23:40.200 didn't know

01:23:40.560 that was

01:23:40.920 true but

01:23:41.440 if you

01:23:41.780 had asked

01:23:42.180 me I

01:23:42.920 probably

01:23:43.380 wouldn't

01:23:43.680 guess it

01:23:44.260 was true

01:23:44.760 so since

01:23:47.060 scientists

01:23:47.660 get they

01:23:48.700 get benefits

01:23:49.500 for how

01:23:49.960 many times

01:23:50.480 they're cited

01:23:51.040 so it

01:23:52.200 makes their

01:23:52.620 own work

01:23:53.140 look more

01:23:53.580 important

01:23:53.980 so if you

01:23:55.580 want to

01:23:55.960 get a peer

01:23:57.280 reviewer

01:23:57.980 to say

01:23:59.320 good things

01:23:59.980 about your

01:24:00.700 study

01:24:01.300 you just

01:24:02.820 cite the

01:24:03.360 person who's

01:24:03.960 the peer

01:24:04.320 reviewer

01:24:04.940 as one of

01:24:05.740 your sources

01:24:06.280 and then the

01:24:07.900 odds of them

01:24:08.580 saying oh

01:24:09.080 yeah this is a

01:24:09.880 good paper

01:24:10.360 because it

01:24:11.140 increases their

01:24:12.080 own citations

01:24:12.980 goes way up

01:24:14.500 surprise

01:24:16.380 nobody's

01:24:17.580 surprised by

01:24:18.200 that I

01:24:18.920 think the

01:24:19.380 science is

01:24:20.060 at least

01:24:20.740 50% fake

01:24:22.120 meaning at

01:24:23.960 least and

01:24:24.580 it might be

01:24:24.920 I think it's

01:24:25.280 a lot more

01:24:25.740 actually it's

01:24:26.440 probably closer

01:24:26.960 to 75 but

01:24:28.580 most of what

01:24:29.580 you hear about

01:24:30.340 science is

01:24:31.020 fake I've

01:24:33.520 been fascinated

01:24:34.200 by the

01:24:34.960 Eric Weinstein

01:24:36.660 take on

01:24:38.080 science that

01:24:39.340 progress in

01:24:40.320 physics stopped

01:24:41.340 I forget what

01:24:42.240 year he says

01:24:43.080 but there's an

01:24:44.080 actual year

01:24:44.860 or decade I

01:24:46.220 guess in

01:24:47.000 which progress

01:24:47.800 in physics

01:24:48.420 just sort of

01:24:49.120 stopped and

01:24:50.780 the idea was

01:24:51.920 that the only

01:24:53.600 thing that's

01:24:54.140 worth looking

01:24:54.700 at is

01:24:55.340 string theory

01:24:57.780 but that

01:24:59.260 never quite

01:25:00.340 completely

01:25:01.020 paid off

01:25:02.000 and that

01:25:04.820 science is

01:25:05.640 just stalled

01:25:06.240 and it's not

01:25:07.400 because we're

01:25:08.100 not able

01:25:08.860 but rather

01:25:10.800 there's some

01:25:11.360 force that

01:25:12.340 maybe we

01:25:13.120 don't

01:25:13.500 completely

01:25:14.120 understand

01:25:14.880 that is

01:25:16.340 stalling

01:25:16.880 science

01:25:17.420 intentionally

01:25:18.200 why?

01:25:20.060 I don't

01:25:20.660 know

01:25:20.960 I don't

01:25:22.300 know

01:25:22.560 but it does

01:25:23.520 seem that

01:25:24.140 physics hit a

01:25:26.340 wall

01:25:26.600 so that part

01:25:27.600 I've also

01:25:28.340 observed

01:25:28.900 long ago

01:25:30.140 and I

01:25:31.680 also have

01:25:32.340 been criticizing

01:25:33.080 string theory

01:25:33.900 for years

01:25:34.880 saying

01:25:35.900 it does

01:25:36.580 seem like

01:25:37.120 they're not

01:25:37.500 really making

01:25:38.080 any progress

01:25:38.700 on this

01:25:39.260 thing

01:25:39.480 is any

01:25:39.880 of this

01:25:40.160 real?

01:25:42.900 Well Sean

01:25:43.520 Ryan on

01:25:44.100 his podcast

01:25:44.660 has a

01:25:46.820 guest

01:25:47.120 the host

01:25:48.260 of something

01:25:48.740 called the

01:25:49.240 Y Files

01:25:50.140 that many of

01:25:51.420 you have seen

01:25:52.020 on YouTube

01:25:53.100 and

01:25:54.400 AJ Gentile

01:25:55.740 I think

01:25:56.260 is the name

01:25:57.360 of the host

01:25:57.800 and that

01:25:59.480 show does

01:26:00.180 you know

01:26:01.000 lots of

01:26:01.540 conspiracy

01:26:02.260 theory

01:26:02.900 kind of

01:26:03.400 stuff

01:26:03.700 but

01:26:04.020 he's not

01:26:05.120 a true

01:26:05.520 believer

01:26:06.040 often he'll

01:26:08.080 say

01:26:08.420 after he

01:26:09.100 tells you

01:26:09.560 the conspiracy

01:26:10.220 he'll say

01:26:10.800 but

01:26:11.280 probably not

01:26:12.700 true

01:26:13.080 and here's

01:26:13.720 the reason

01:26:14.080 why

01:26:14.360 so he's

01:26:15.600 not like

01:26:16.360 a crazy

01:26:17.000 conspiracy

01:26:17.720 guy

01:26:18.120 he's just

01:26:19.080 somebody who

01:26:19.660 talks about

01:26:20.320 crazy

01:26:20.760 conspiracies

01:26:21.540 and he

01:26:23.680 doesn't

01:26:25.080 he doesn't

01:26:25.880 automatically

01:26:26.600 just

01:26:27.120 you know

01:26:27.580 throw them

01:26:28.040 away

01:26:28.420 but he's

01:26:29.700 not

01:26:29.960 you know

01:26:30.260 somebody who

01:26:30.680 just believes

01:26:31.200 every

01:26:31.480 conspiracy

01:26:32.100 theory

01:26:32.460 right

01:26:33.040 so he's

01:26:33.640 fairly

01:26:33.880 credible

01:26:34.540 I find

01:26:35.400 and what

01:26:37.640 he said

01:26:38.140 was

01:26:39.640 mixed on

01:26:44.580 my notes

01:26:45.020 here

01:26:45.240 but he

01:26:45.920 said that

01:26:46.340 the pyramids

01:26:48.040 must have

01:26:49.200 been used

01:26:49.800 to generate

01:26:50.880 electricity

01:26:51.560 and he

01:26:52.700 had a

01:26:53.020 theory

01:26:53.340 that there's

01:26:54.200 some

01:26:55.260 chemical

01:26:55.920 that they

01:26:56.740 found

01:26:57.040 there

01:26:57.300 that

01:26:57.540 shouldn't

01:26:57.820 be

01:26:57.980 there

01:26:58.240 unless

01:26:58.600 they

01:26:58.780 were

01:26:58.900 doing

01:26:59.140 that

01:26:59.480 and

01:27:00.760 somehow

01:27:01.580 it

01:27:01.860 might

01:27:02.060 be

01:27:03.080 built

01:27:03.740 to

01:27:04.060 shoot

01:27:04.460 the

01:27:04.620 electricity

01:27:05.140 up into

01:27:05.760 the

01:27:05.940 atmosphere

01:27:06.380 so that

01:27:07.920 in a

01:27:08.440 Nikolai

01:27:09.340 Tesla

01:27:09.800 kind of

01:27:10.400 way

01:27:10.660 somebody

01:27:11.740 else

01:27:12.040 could

01:27:12.260 suck it

01:27:12.700 out of

01:27:12.940 the

01:27:13.080 atmosphere

01:27:13.460 and use

01:27:13.920 the

01:27:14.080 power

01:27:14.360 yeah

01:27:17.120 Gary's

01:27:17.540 still

01:27:17.700 here

01:27:18.000 good

01:27:22.000 boy

01:27:22.280 he

01:27:23.400 he

01:27:23.420 just

01:27:23.680 loves

01:27:24.340 going

01:27:24.940 to

01:27:25.120 sleep

01:27:25.360 to

01:27:25.500 my

01:27:25.700 voice

01:27:26.120 so

01:27:27.000 do

01:27:27.180 you

01:27:27.440 but

01:27:28.580 anyway

01:27:28.820 my

01:27:30.760 take

01:27:31.760 on that

01:27:32.420 besides

01:27:33.040 the fact

01:27:33.540 that it's

01:27:34.240 interesting

01:27:34.620 is

01:27:36.000 if you

01:27:36.820 look at

01:27:37.240 the stories

01:27:37.880 that we

01:27:38.220 just talked

01:27:38.760 about

01:27:39.020 today

01:27:39.460 and how

01:27:41.160 many of

01:27:41.500 them we

01:27:41.800 don't know

01:27:42.220 the truth

01:27:42.740 I mean

01:27:43.260 we don't

01:27:43.640 really know

01:27:44.220 the truth

01:27:44.700 on the

01:27:45.000 Epstein

01:27:45.340 thing

01:27:45.820 we went

01:27:46.820 through the

01:27:47.180 whole

01:27:47.380 Russia

01:27:47.920 hoax

01:27:49.180 we've

01:27:49.880 got

01:27:50.220 people

01:27:50.980 who believe

01:27:51.420 that

01:27:51.760 Trump

01:27:52.600 is

01:27:52.940 doing

01:27:53.360 a

01:27:53.560 slow

01:27:53.840 motion

01:27:54.220 coup

01:27:54.800 I mean

01:27:55.720 I don't

01:27:56.080 even know

01:27:56.500 how historians

01:27:57.360 are going

01:27:58.520 to write

01:27:58.780 the history

01:27:59.380 of what

01:27:59.800 we're going

01:28:00.220 through

01:28:00.480 right now

01:28:01.080 because we

01:28:02.080 have two

01:28:02.640 to three

01:28:03.280 completely

01:28:04.380 different

01:28:04.840 narratives

01:28:05.260 for every

01:28:06.580 set of

01:28:07.000 facts

01:28:07.420 so what

01:28:08.920 does the

01:28:09.200 history

01:28:09.520 book do

01:28:10.040 and

01:28:11.480 then we

01:28:13.360 look at

01:28:13.740 the pyramids

01:28:14.560 so here's

01:28:16.180 the context

01:28:16.820 I want

01:28:17.200 to give

01:28:17.440 you

01:28:17.660 what are

01:28:18.680 the odds

01:28:19.380 that our

01:28:21.040 understanding

01:28:21.680 of the

01:28:22.100 pyramids

01:28:22.740 the kind

01:28:23.720 of traditional

01:28:24.360 one where

01:28:25.040 the Egyptians

01:28:25.680 built it

01:28:26.620 but it was

01:28:27.640 really hard

01:28:28.280 but we

01:28:28.640 don't know

01:28:29.020 how

01:28:29.420 but it

01:28:29.780 was just

01:28:30.100 humans

01:28:30.520 building

01:28:30.980 you know

01:28:31.960 maybe tombs

01:28:33.020 or something

01:28:33.500 like that

01:28:34.040 what are

01:28:35.140 the odds

01:28:35.700 that almost

01:28:37.780 all of our

01:28:38.700 stories in

01:28:39.600 the modern

01:28:40.100 time

01:28:40.580 like right

01:28:41.120 now

01:28:41.580 are fake

01:28:43.260 but we

01:28:45.420 got the

01:28:45.880 pyramid

01:28:46.380 story

01:28:46.820 right

01:28:47.260 do you

01:28:49.700 think

01:28:49.860 there's

01:28:50.140 any

01:28:50.520 chance

01:28:51.040 that our

01:28:52.460 understanding

01:28:53.140 I'll say

01:28:54.160 the normal

01:28:55.080 understanding

01:28:55.800 where the

01:28:56.340 Egyptians

01:28:57.180 just built

01:28:57.980 themselves

01:28:58.380 and forgot

01:28:59.080 how

01:28:59.520 do you

01:29:01.040 think

01:29:01.200 there's

01:29:01.420 any

01:29:01.660 chance

01:29:02.060 that's

01:29:02.340 real

01:29:02.560 so I

01:29:03.900 don't

01:29:04.060 know

01:29:04.360 I

01:29:05.080 wouldn't

01:29:05.340 necessarily

01:29:05.860 say

01:29:06.360 that any

01:29:08.660 one of

01:29:09.120 the other

01:29:09.540 theories

01:29:10.000 is correct

01:29:10.720 so I'm

01:29:11.500 not buying

01:29:11.960 into the

01:29:12.660 you know

01:29:13.460 it was

01:29:13.720 used to

01:29:14.140 generate

01:29:14.540 electricity

01:29:15.200 although it

01:29:15.820 might

01:29:16.140 I don't

01:29:16.680 rule it

01:29:17.060 out

01:29:17.380 I just

01:29:20.680 have the

01:29:21.040 general

01:29:21.420 observation

01:29:22.740 that if

01:29:23.760 all of

01:29:24.440 our stories

01:29:25.260 that are in

01:29:26.000 the public

01:29:26.420 today are

01:29:27.140 fake

01:29:27.640 what are the

01:29:29.840 odds we got

01:29:30.360 the pyramid

01:29:30.900 thing right

01:29:31.500 it's close

01:29:33.200 to zero

01:29:33.780 right

01:29:34.160 I mean

01:29:35.380 almost zero

01:29:36.200 percent chance

01:29:37.120 that we have

01:29:38.180 a clean

01:29:38.860 clear understanding

01:29:39.980 of what the

01:29:40.700 pyramids are

01:29:41.720 all about

01:29:42.160 well there's

01:29:45.040 according to

01:29:46.260 a company

01:29:46.780 according to

01:29:47.740 interesting

01:29:48.320 engineering

01:29:49.020 the publication

01:29:50.660 there's an

01:29:52.320 idea for a

01:29:53.020 hybrid delivery

01:29:53.940 system

01:29:54.600 that would be

01:29:55.440 part electric

01:29:56.280 vehicle

01:29:56.820 and part

01:29:58.100 robot

01:29:58.520 so the

01:29:59.380 electric vehicle

01:30:00.300 would go to

01:30:00.820 your house

01:30:01.300 the robot

01:30:02.400 would get

01:30:03.120 out of it

01:30:03.660 to deliver

01:30:04.360 the package

01:30:05.020 and then

01:30:06.680 there would

01:30:06.920 also be

01:30:07.320 some kind

01:30:07.740 of lock

01:30:08.220 box

01:30:08.680 not for

01:30:09.440 everybody

01:30:09.840 but for

01:30:10.320 prime

01:30:10.700 customers

01:30:11.180 if they

01:30:11.620 want

01:30:11.840 one

01:30:12.080 so

01:30:13.180 nobody

01:30:14.000 could

01:30:14.280 steal

01:30:14.600 it

01:30:14.860 because

01:30:15.400 the robot

01:30:15.880 would be able to lock it in the box

01:30:17.560 and I'm thinking to myself

01:30:19.620 yeah that is where everything needs to go

01:30:21.720 you should be able to get everything cheaply and fast

01:30:25.620 although I still

01:30:27.600 I still think that sending my Tesla to pick it up

01:30:31.180 might make sense

01:30:32.760 by the way I think I would be ready to buy a Tesla if it could deliver itself

01:30:40.140 to my driveway

01:30:40.940 so if you hear that Pleasanton California will allow you to buy something online and have

01:30:49.680 it delivered to your driveway

01:30:51.100 let me know

01:30:53.120 I'll probably buy a Tesla the same day

01:30:58.220 I just don't want to go to the showroom

01:31:01.940 I'm just trying to cut out that process

01:31:04.400 well speaking of California

01:31:09.480 the Daily Wire is reporting

01:31:11.080 Luke Rosiak that there's a California anti-poverty activist

01:31:16.260 and also a gigantic Democrat donor

01:31:19.600 who was running a massive carbon credit scam

01:31:23.980 oh my god

01:31:27.400 so every large complicated thing is a scam

01:31:33.920 and corrupt

01:31:36.060 every one of them

01:31:37.560 anyway

01:31:38.480 that is all I had to talk about today

01:31:43.480 how do we do

01:31:45.140 we went long today

01:31:46.240 but you loved it

01:31:47.340 so Owen Gregorian

01:31:49.280 will be doing his Spaces event

01:31:51.380 in a few minutes

01:31:52.600 I'm going to go private

01:31:54.220 and just chat with my beloved

01:31:56.320 local subscribers

01:31:59.300 and

01:32:00.640 Owen will be firing up the Spaces

01:32:03.680 so look for that

01:32:04.660 that's an audio event on X

01:32:06.920 and you can talk more about this

01:32:09.600 or other stuff

01:32:11.020 and

01:32:12.280 all right

01:32:13.100 locals

01:32:14.260 coming at you

01:32:45.100 and

01:32:57.800 we'll be right back

01:32:58.200 just

01:32:58.880 we'll be back

01:32:59.860 and
