Summary

A man has become bored with his AI chatbot, and it turns out that he had to initiate all the conversations. And that when he ran out of things to talk about, because he was the one who made up the conversations, he didn t really have an attraction to the chatbot. And I wonder how it would ever be possible for an AI to be interesting in the long run.

00:00:00.000 There you are. Come on in.
00:00:02.700 There's lots of room.
00:00:05.460 Happy Sunday, everybody.
00:00:07.640 Let me get my comments working so I can see what's on your mind.
00:00:12.900 Ooh, no, not that.
00:00:15.240 There we go.
00:00:17.420 Everybody, come on in, grab a seat.
00:00:20.700 It's time for the least lazy podcaster in the world.
00:00:25.860 Yeah, that's me.
00:00:26.580 We're working on the weekend.
00:00:30.000 But it's not work if you want to do it.
00:00:32.960 So, not really work.
00:00:36.280 Are you ready for this?
00:00:40.820 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
00:00:45.520 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.
00:00:49.280 But if you'd like to, take a chance on elevating your experience up to levels
00:00:55.060 that no one could even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.
00:00:59.060 All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tankard shells
00:01:03.740 to sign a canteen nugget or a flask.
00:01:06.120 A vessel of any kind.
00:01:07.680 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:09.320 I like coffee.
00:01:10.800 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine at the end of the day,
00:01:14.800 the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:17.200 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens.
00:01:20.480 How?
00:01:20.920 How?
00:01:21.020 Tremendous.
00:01:26.580 Tremendous.
00:01:30.260 And I have all of you to thank for the deliciousness of that coffee,
00:01:35.300 because you're the ones who added the simultaneity.
00:01:38.820 Tremendous.
00:01:40.060 Yeah.
00:01:41.040 That is the special part.
00:01:43.780 All right.
00:01:45.100 Do you remember a story about a man who fell in love with his AI chatbot?
00:01:52.040 Which apparently was not a deal breaker for his actual girlfriend and child.
00:01:57.200 They seemed to be willing to let him have a romantic relationship with the AI.
00:02:06.240 His girlfriend did.
00:02:07.760 Anyway, the update on that is that man has become bored with his chatbot,
00:02:15.480 he told News Nation, because, well, let me tell you why.
00:02:20.520 It turns out that he had to initiate all the conversations.
00:02:26.500 And that when he ran into things to talk about,
00:02:29.540 because he was the one who made up the things,
00:02:33.240 he didn't really have an attraction to the chatbot.
00:02:37.380 It was just sort of boring.
00:02:38.540 It didn't really add enough.
00:02:40.500 And I wonder how it would ever be possible
00:02:44.820 for an AI to be interesting in the long run.
00:02:50.520 I'm not positive if it's possible, and here's why.
00:02:55.340 Let me check with you, and you can tell me in the comments
00:02:58.100 if I'm off or not.
00:03:05.320 When you're doing the talking to someone else,
00:03:08.820 you usually enjoy it, right?
00:03:10.920 Because you're doing the talking.
00:03:12.720 So you're talking about what you want to talk about,
00:03:15.120 and you're being heard, and you're getting attention.
00:03:17.480 So when you're doing the talking, you're happy.
00:03:20.520 But what makes you willing to listen to somebody else?
00:03:26.040 Now, if they had knowledge or information you needed,
00:03:30.440 then of course you'd listen to them.
00:03:32.680 That's just a search engine.
00:03:34.780 But what if somebody wanted to talk about something
00:03:37.480 that was meaningful to them but not to you?
00:03:41.880 Why would you ever listen to it?
00:03:44.360 And why would that ever be interesting?
00:03:47.480 And the answer is, it's because you're interested in the person.
00:03:51.860 If your child, for example, told you a story about something
00:03:56.360 that happened at school, it might not be the most fascinating story,
00:04:01.620 but you'd still be interested in it because it's your child.
00:04:04.340 Same with if it's a romantic partner that you're interested in
00:04:08.460 or anybody who is extra interesting.
00:04:13.600 But AI can never attract you like a person can,
00:04:18.600 like a child or something like that.
00:04:21.440 So when AI talks, once you get over the novelty of it,
00:04:26.380 there's nothing there.
00:04:27.900 Because listening is all about how you feel about the person.
00:04:35.160 And then the listening is the response to how you feel about them.
00:04:38.460 If you hated the person, you would do everything you could
00:04:42.520 to reduce the amount you have to listen to them, right?
00:04:46.500 So AI can never compete conversationally
00:04:50.920 once you get past the novelty.
00:04:53.340 So I feel like I'm the leading skeptic of AI at this point.
00:04:59.860 I've told you that AI can't be funny.
00:05:03.960 I don't think it ever can.
00:05:06.320 I don't think it ever can be interesting as a conversationalist
00:05:10.280 in the long run.
00:05:11.980 In the short run, yes, it's pretty impressive.
00:05:14.400 Long run, no, it can't be interesting.
00:05:16.860 It doesn't have that ability.
00:05:17.900 And then, of course, the news has caught up to Scott
00:05:23.920 on the question of whether AI is getting better
00:05:26.820 and will just keep on getting better at a fast rate.
00:05:30.440 It doesn't look like it.
00:05:31.920 It doesn't look like they can fix the hallucinations.
00:05:35.480 It doesn't look like they can teach the robot to do things
00:05:39.240 just by looking at stuff,
00:05:40.680 although I'll talk about that a little more.
00:05:42.180 We may be getting kind of close to peak AI.
00:05:51.600 Now, when I say peak,
00:05:52.960 I don't mean that it's not going to improve,
00:05:55.180 but it may improve just sort of incrementally
00:05:57.980 and slowly from this point on.
00:06:00.360 I don't know.
00:06:02.480 I'm a skeptic of advanced general intelligence.
00:06:08.600 Do you know the name Grant Cardone?
00:06:13.880 He's an investor, real estate guy.
00:06:16.760 He's got some kind of equity investments he does.
00:06:20.340 Anyway, so he's a rich, successful guy,
00:06:23.940 and he posted on X,
00:06:25.640 I have never met a person who smoked weed daily
00:06:28.400 and created massive success.
00:06:30.800 Why am I wrong?
00:06:32.700 Well, let me tell you why you're wrong.
00:06:35.560 Number one, you have to define massive.
00:06:38.600 So I don't know if I would qualify or not.
00:06:41.480 So massive might be in billions.
00:06:44.120 I don't know.
00:06:44.540 Maybe he's got a different definition.
00:06:47.460 But I'll tell you, in my experience,
00:06:50.400 because I'm out of the closet about my marijuana usage,
00:06:55.020 people will tell me or invite me to participate
00:07:00.080 that you would never believe are people who smoke marijuana.
00:07:05.500 So part of the reason that people say,
00:07:09.760 I don't believe anybody's ever succeeded if they use marijuana a lot,
00:07:15.140 I think it has a lot to do with the fact that those people know not to tell you.
00:07:20.880 Because usually you know who's going to be able to handle that and who's not.
00:07:25.420 So I think it has more to do with selecting who you spend time with.
00:07:30.600 And it also has a lot to do with the industry.
00:07:34.400 If my job were real estate investor or equity investor guy,
00:07:41.480 probably it doesn't go well with weed.
00:07:44.600 Probably not.
00:07:46.100 And you could come up with 25 other jobs
00:07:49.760 that you wouldn't want to get near weed.
00:07:53.180 But for creative jobs and a lot of tech jobs
00:07:57.160 and even a lot of inventing kind of things
00:08:01.580 where creativity is involved
00:08:03.900 and sometimes even writing code, I would imagine,
00:08:08.160 writing books, drawing comics,
00:08:10.880 there are some activities that just get better.
00:08:15.140 Well, New York City Mayor Hopeful Zoran Mondani, the commie,
00:08:24.060 he did some kind of public event where he did a bench press.
00:08:29.460 And apparently it was for Men's Day in Brooklyn.
00:08:33.680 Men's Day.
00:08:35.320 So he shows up for Men's Day
00:08:38.860 and they put him on a bench to bench press.
00:08:42.060 And people were not impressed
00:08:46.200 about the amount his little noodle arms could lift.
00:08:50.120 So that didn't work out well for him.
00:08:53.420 So my advice is that the next time you go to Men's Day,
00:08:58.260 bring a man.
00:08:59.520 Yeah, bring a man.
00:09:02.340 And I saw somebody on Locals had a comment
00:09:06.140 that said, Mom Dami puts the man in Ma'am Dami.
00:09:15.120 Anyway, that was pretty funny.
00:09:19.660 Well, Bill Maher had Andrew Huberman on recently,
00:09:23.600 on Friday, I guess.
00:09:24.440 And Huberman said that he talked to one
00:09:31.520 of the greatest neurosurgeons in history.
00:09:34.740 So he knows somebody who's one of the greatest neurosurgeons
00:09:38.460 in all of history,
00:09:40.220 which is not that hard
00:09:42.480 if you assume that there weren't that many neurosurgeons
00:09:46.140 100,000 years ago.
00:09:47.420 But of the recent neurosurgeons,
00:09:50.800 one of the greatest ones,
00:09:54.140 Huberman asked him,
00:09:55.980 what percentage of the things that they learned
00:09:58.100 in medical school
00:10:00.040 and is in the medical literature,
00:10:02.800 what percentage of it is not currently accurate,
00:10:07.760 meaning that we know it's wrong?
00:10:10.420 And the greatest neurosurgeon in history
00:10:13.840 said that more than half of the information
00:10:16.680 in medical textbooks
00:10:17.880 is dead wrong about health
00:10:20.800 and we know it.
00:10:24.820 More than half
00:10:26.100 of your medical book,
00:10:32.620 more than half of it,
00:10:34.400 we know not to be useful or true.
00:10:39.040 Now, the good news is
00:10:40.440 that there's so much DEI
00:10:43.140 in admissions for medical school
00:10:47.840 that if the DEI produces people
00:10:51.100 who are always wrong
00:10:52.300 but then they don't get correctly
00:10:57.060 what the book says,
00:10:58.980 it might be a case of two wrongs make a right.
00:11:02.700 So if the book says,
00:11:04.760 in this condition, take this pill,
00:11:07.220 but the DEI hire doesn't know
00:11:10.920 that that's what the book says,
00:11:13.000 well, you get the right answer.
00:11:14.500 They won't recommend the pill.
00:11:16.520 See where I'm going with this?
00:11:18.340 Yeah.
00:11:19.000 DEI might be the solution
00:11:21.480 to inaccurate medical textbooks.
00:11:25.020 Well, there was a surprising study
00:11:29.700 it's being called.
00:11:30.620 Surprising.
00:11:31.780 It finds that eating meat
00:11:33.960 may protect against cancer.
00:11:37.980 Uh-huh.
00:11:39.040 According to McMaster University.
00:11:41.780 Let's see.
00:11:42.800 If you had to guess,
00:11:45.000 who do you think funded this study
00:11:47.360 about whether meat
00:11:49.480 is good for your health
00:11:52.700 or bad for your health?
00:11:53.600 Who do you think funded that?
00:11:55.880 Well, if you guessed
00:11:56.960 the National Cattlemen's Beef Association,
00:12:00.560 you would be very accurate.
00:12:04.040 That's right.
00:12:05.120 It was the last line in the article,
00:12:08.360 you know, but I read to the end.
00:12:10.520 And sure enough,
00:12:11.860 it was funded by
00:12:12.940 National Cattlemen's Beef Association.
00:12:15.780 And you would not be surprised to learn
00:12:18.140 that according to the study they funded,
00:12:22.260 meat's good for you.
00:12:23.600 Now, they might be right.
00:12:26.660 I'm not arguing with the conclusion.
00:12:29.560 But in general,
00:12:32.140 in general,
00:12:33.680 I wouldn't trust any study
00:12:36.120 that was funded by somebody
00:12:37.580 whose entire business economic model
00:12:40.760 depends on one result.
00:12:42.560 Well, sure, maybe our medical information
00:12:49.480 is unreliable.
00:12:51.540 Yeah, maybe it is.
00:12:53.020 Maybe our diet information
00:12:56.040 is not to be trusted.
00:12:58.780 Sure.
00:12:59.840 But at least our crime data is accurate.
00:13:04.420 What?
00:13:05.100 Oh, okay.
00:13:07.500 Our crime data is not accurate.
00:13:10.620 Dr. Drew was pointing out
00:13:12.740 that Gavin Newsom,
00:13:16.500 I guess Dr. Drew is on Adam Carolla's podcast,
00:13:19.740 I believe.
00:13:20.800 And they're talking about
00:13:23.680 how Gavin Newsom
00:13:24.940 will say things like
00:13:27.840 8 out of 10
00:13:28.800 of the top state murder rates
00:13:30.620 are in red states.
00:13:32.760 So 8 out of 10
00:13:34.260 of the states
00:13:36.060 of the top state murder rates
00:13:38.740 are in red states.
00:13:40.860 However,
00:13:42.260 the thing that Newsom leaves out,
00:13:44.100 and you'd have to be
00:13:45.600 pretty well informed
00:13:46.900 to notice
00:13:47.520 that he left it out,
00:13:49.160 is that
00:13:50.140 if you look at the cities,
00:13:54.060 with 9 out of 10 of them
00:13:58.300 are Democratic cities.
00:13:59.920 So the cities
00:14:00.840 with the highest
00:14:01.700 crime rate,
00:14:03.880 murder rate in particular,
00:14:05.780 are Democratic cities.
00:14:08.740 But often they can be
00:14:10.500 in
00:14:10.940 a red state.
00:14:12.920 But the governor
00:14:14.260 has less control
00:14:15.340 over what's happening
00:14:16.120 in crime
00:14:16.740 than the mayor's.
00:14:19.440 So
00:14:20.120 if you were not
00:14:22.580 really,
00:14:24.660 let's say,
00:14:25.540 involved
00:14:26.140 with the news,
00:14:28.660 how many of you
00:14:29.400 knew that,
00:14:30.080 by the way?
00:14:31.500 Did most of you know
00:14:33.180 that when the Democrats
00:14:34.680 say,
00:14:35.740 oh,
00:14:36.200 the highest murder rates
00:14:37.920 are
00:14:38.340 Republican states,
00:14:40.800 did most of you
00:14:43.440 know
00:14:43.880 that that's,
00:14:45.220 you know,
00:14:45.600 yet another one
00:14:46.420 of their hoaxes?
00:14:48.680 Because
00:14:49.120 it doesn't matter
00:14:50.220 who's running the state,
00:14:51.320 it matters who's running
00:14:52.100 the city.
00:14:53.340 Most of you knew that,
00:14:54.500 right?
00:14:55.340 Yeah,
00:14:55.640 my audience,
00:14:56.680 I like to think
00:14:57.380 my audience
00:14:58.080 is the best
00:14:59.440 informed audience.
00:15:01.940 Partly because
00:15:02.940 you pay attention
00:15:04.280 to the news,
00:15:05.000 but partly because
00:15:05.840 you also
00:15:06.380 spend more time,
00:15:07.880 usually with me,
00:15:08.740 figuring out
00:15:10.180 what part of the news
00:15:11.680 is pure bullshit.
00:15:13.900 So
00:15:14.280 I feel like
00:15:15.180 literally,
00:15:16.900 you know,
00:15:17.360 if tests were
00:15:18.320 administered to
00:15:19.200 the audiences
00:15:20.500 of all the
00:15:21.280 different
00:15:21.760 podcasters,
00:15:23.960 I'll bet you
00:15:24.720 would win
00:15:25.220 because you
00:15:27.160 would get
00:15:27.600 the things
00:15:28.320 that everybody
00:15:28.960 knows,
00:15:29.920 you would know
00:15:30.440 those,
00:15:31.420 but you would be
00:15:32.040 able to go
00:15:32.400 another level
00:15:33.020 deeper,
00:15:33.780 and then
00:15:34.620 a third level
00:15:35.500 deeper,
00:15:35.880 which would be
00:15:38.420 which of these
00:15:39.420 things are
00:15:39.860 hoaxes
00:15:40.460 and propaganda.
00:15:42.760 Well,
00:15:43.400 speaking of
00:15:44.360 things,
00:15:47.820 I've got
00:15:49.620 no transition
00:15:50.380 for this one.
00:15:51.820 So,
00:15:52.480 you know,
00:15:53.080 California
00:15:54.600 is looking
00:15:55.240 to redistrict
00:15:56.140 because
00:15:56.740 taxes
00:15:57.440 redistricted,
00:15:58.900 and I was
00:15:59.460 looking at
00:15:59.940 a thread
00:16:00.660 from
00:16:01.160 an ex-user
00:16:02.720 Cremieux,
00:16:04.500 who is a
00:16:05.940 really good
00:16:06.360 follow,
00:16:06.900 has a lot
00:16:07.360 of good
00:16:07.680 posts every
00:16:09.360 day.
00:16:10.160 Cremieux,
00:16:11.160 C-R-E-M-I-E-U-X.
00:16:16.160 Anyway,
00:16:16.720 he points out
00:16:17.380 that there
00:16:19.280 are more
00:16:19.660 Republican
00:16:20.220 states than
00:16:21.280 if they were
00:16:21.900 to do their
00:16:22.480 own redistricting,
00:16:23.900 and the
00:16:24.540 Democrats did
00:16:25.280 the same,
00:16:26.520 and it became
00:16:27.360 an all-out
00:16:27.960 contest,
00:16:28.900 the Republicans
00:16:29.580 would come
00:16:30.260 out ahead.
00:16:31.160 But on
00:16:31.620 top of
00:16:32.000 that,
00:16:33.800 apparently
00:16:35.280 there's
00:16:35.760 some
00:16:36.340 potential
00:16:37.820 Supreme
00:16:38.540 Court case.
00:16:39.660 I don't
00:16:40.000 think the
00:16:40.460 Supreme
00:16:40.780 Court has
00:16:41.240 accepted it
00:16:42.500 yet,
00:16:42.800 but they
00:16:43.080 asked for
00:16:43.720 some
00:16:43.980 information,
00:16:45.460 which suggests
00:16:46.560 that they
00:16:46.920 might.
00:16:48.240 And the
00:16:49.500 Supreme
00:16:49.860 Court will
00:16:50.360 be ruling
00:16:50.840 on the
00:16:51.380 Voting
00:16:51.860 Rights Act
00:16:52.600 Section
00:16:53.080 2,
00:16:53.700 this is
00:16:54.020 all from
00:16:54.420 Cremieux,
00:16:57.140 that allows
00:16:58.820 states to
00:17:02.280 draw their
00:17:02.880 redistricting
00:17:03.760 lines based
00:17:04.640 on race.
00:17:06.760 And there's
00:17:07.740 a good chance
00:17:08.440 that the
00:17:08.820 Supreme
00:17:09.160 Court will
00:17:09.700 say,
00:17:10.820 you cannot
00:17:11.600 draw your
00:17:13.940 boundaries based
00:17:14.940 on race.
00:17:17.140 I wouldn't
00:17:17.660 be a surprise
00:17:18.360 if that's what
00:17:19.600 they said.
00:17:20.140 I'm a little
00:17:20.520 surprised that it
00:17:21.360 was ever allowed
00:17:22.020 in the first
00:17:22.500 place.
00:17:22.860 but you
00:17:24.220 can see in
00:17:24.780 the real
00:17:25.100 world that
00:17:26.680 if they do
00:17:27.520 it by race,
00:17:28.720 they're in
00:17:29.260 pretty good
00:17:29.940 shape for
00:17:30.440 guessing who
00:17:32.220 is going
00:17:32.880 to get
00:17:33.080 elected.
00:17:36.000 So our
00:17:38.320 elections are
00:17:39.160 not exactly
00:17:39.940 up to the
00:17:41.460 voters.
00:17:42.540 It seems
00:17:43.100 like our
00:17:43.520 elections are
00:17:44.220 as much up
00:17:44.860 to the
00:17:45.460 process
00:17:46.940 manipulators.
00:17:48.800 The Mark
00:17:49.200 Eliases,
00:17:49.800 if you're
00:17:51.960 looking at
00:17:52.420 the left,
00:17:53.720 and a
00:17:55.260 lot of
00:17:55.500 what's
00:17:55.700 happening in
00:17:56.180 Texas if
00:17:57.840 you're looking
00:17:58.180 at the
00:17:58.500 right.
00:17:59.560 So in
00:17:59.980 both cases,
00:18:01.840 I feel as
00:18:03.600 if voting
00:18:04.300 is necessary
00:18:06.500 but at the
00:18:07.160 same time
00:18:07.660 is the
00:18:08.020 least important
00:18:09.060 determinant of
00:18:10.180 how things
00:18:10.680 go.
00:18:11.720 It has more
00:18:12.320 to do with
00:18:12.740 how the
00:18:13.040 news covers
00:18:13.780 stuff and
00:18:14.520 what hoax
00:18:15.660 is active
00:18:16.280 and what
00:18:17.520 rules have
00:18:18.280 been manipulated
00:18:19.180 and whether
00:18:20.000 there's mail-in
00:18:20.820 ballots or
00:18:21.420 not,
00:18:22.060 whether they
00:18:22.460 use machines
00:18:23.200 or not,
00:18:24.640 whether they
00:18:25.680 redistrict or
00:18:26.620 not.
00:18:27.800 If all that
00:18:28.660 other stuff
00:18:29.580 is how you
00:18:30.580 pick your
00:18:31.100 leaders and
00:18:32.060 decide who's
00:18:32.680 in charge,
00:18:33.300 and it
00:18:33.560 looks like it
00:18:34.040 is,
00:18:34.940 it's more
00:18:35.360 about the
00:18:35.880 manipulation.
00:18:36.960 Who can
00:18:37.640 get away
00:18:38.380 with more
00:18:39.900 weasel
00:18:40.620 election
00:18:41.940 stuff?
00:18:44.720 So
00:18:44.960 anyway,
00:18:46.620 so yeah,
00:18:47.560 maybe our
00:18:48.020 medical stuff's
00:18:49.020 bad and
00:18:49.440 our crime
00:18:50.040 data is
00:18:50.660 fake and
00:18:51.380 our elections
00:18:52.540 are not
00:18:53.080 really based
00:18:53.660 on voting,
00:18:54.880 but at
00:18:55.640 least our
00:18:58.080 climate science
00:18:59.140 can be
00:19:00.240 depended on.
00:19:01.640 Oh,
00:19:02.140 wait,
00:19:02.800 I just saw
00:19:03.420 a post this
00:19:04.120 morning on
00:19:04.620 X from
00:19:05.320 Wide Awake
00:19:06.020 Media.
00:19:07.260 It's a
00:19:07.700 video of
00:19:09.080 Bernie Sanders
00:19:09.980 who in
00:19:11.320 2019 was
00:19:12.700 quite animated
00:19:14.480 and worked
00:19:15.200 up and
00:19:15.620 telling us,
00:19:17.000 the scientists
00:19:17.620 are telling
00:19:18.180 us if we
00:19:18.680 don't get
00:19:19.020 our act
00:19:19.340 together
00:19:19.660 within the
00:19:20.080 next eight
00:19:20.580 or nine
00:19:20.920 years,
00:19:21.460 we're talking
00:19:22.340 about cities
00:19:23.140 all over the
00:19:23.740 world going
00:19:24.400 underwater.
00:19:26.260 Let's see,
00:19:27.660 eight or nine
00:19:28.400 years added
00:19:30.080 to 2019,
00:19:31.760 so maybe
00:19:33.140 two more
00:19:34.060 years,
00:19:34.920 major cities
00:19:35.800 will disappear
00:19:36.580 underwater.
00:19:38.500 You know,
00:19:39.800 you'd kind of
00:19:40.460 expect that you'd
00:19:41.380 see a little bit
00:19:42.040 of water
00:19:42.660 rising,
00:19:43.760 you know,
00:19:44.680 during all
00:19:45.400 those years
00:19:45.940 working up
00:19:46.540 to this.
00:19:47.340 I mean,
00:19:47.620 we're not
00:19:48.020 at the
00:19:49.220 eight or
00:19:49.580 nine year
00:19:50.060 mark where
00:19:50.940 we're really
00:19:51.460 in trouble,
00:19:52.880 but any
00:19:53.820 moment now,
00:19:55.100 any moment
00:19:56.520 now,
00:19:56.840 those cities
00:19:57.360 are going to
00:19:57.640 be underwater,
00:19:58.460 according to
00:19:59.160 Bernie.
00:20:01.840 Well,
00:20:02.440 sure,
00:20:02.960 we can't
00:20:03.400 trust the
00:20:03.880 science,
00:20:04.440 and we
00:20:04.620 can't trust
00:20:05.180 the medical
00:20:05.760 textbooks,
00:20:06.680 and we
00:20:06.960 can't trust
00:20:07.480 the election
00:20:08.040 process,
00:20:09.640 but at
00:20:11.500 least we
00:20:12.620 can trust
00:20:13.260 a video.
00:20:14.700 Am I
00:20:15.040 right?
00:20:15.800 I may
00:20:16.200 see something
00:20:17.180 on video
00:20:17.880 that's
00:20:19.280 clearly,
00:20:20.800 wait,
00:20:21.160 what?
00:20:22.220 Oh,
00:20:23.000 yes,
00:20:23.380 there's a
00:20:23.800 story today,
00:20:24.940 the BBC
00:20:25.380 is reporting
00:20:26.040 that YouTube
00:20:26.700 is secretly
00:20:28.460 using an AI
00:20:29.420 process to
00:20:30.220 edit people's
00:20:31.120 videos without
00:20:32.580 asking for
00:20:33.560 permission or
00:20:34.360 telling them
00:20:34.860 that it's
00:20:35.220 happening.
00:20:36.100 Now,
00:20:36.600 it's not for
00:20:37.100 everybody,
00:20:37.780 so it's still
00:20:38.580 in beta,
00:20:39.560 but apparently
00:20:40.540 they're testing
00:20:41.580 out a
00:20:43.260 an AI
00:20:44.440 that will
00:20:45.200 clean up
00:20:46.180 the video.
00:20:47.320 That's the
00:20:47.740 idea of it.
00:20:48.480 So the
00:20:49.140 whole point
00:20:49.980 of it is
00:20:50.400 to just
00:20:50.780 make it
00:20:51.120 look better,
00:20:52.460 but because
00:20:53.380 it's AI,
00:20:54.620 it'll
00:20:55.000 distort your
00:20:56.480 ears and
00:20:57.380 maybe add
00:20:58.500 a finger
00:20:59.000 now and
00:20:59.440 then.
00:21:00.260 So some
00:21:01.440 people noticed
00:21:02.220 and they
00:21:02.800 didn't like
00:21:03.240 what they
00:21:03.600 saw,
00:21:04.000 but it's
00:21:04.200 only a
00:21:04.480 beta.
00:21:05.420 To me,
00:21:06.060 it makes
00:21:06.360 sense to
00:21:06.880 do that.
00:21:07.740 I'll tell
00:21:08.100 you the
00:21:08.340 thing I'd
00:21:08.740 really like
00:21:09.240 to see
00:21:09.840 YouTube
00:21:10.160 do is
00:21:12.120 automatically
00:21:13.040 improve the
00:21:14.140 sound to
00:21:15.180 studio sound
00:21:16.540 or to have
00:21:17.800 an option
00:21:18.420 that the
00:21:18.820 user can
00:21:19.480 select it
00:21:20.100 because you
00:21:20.580 might not
00:21:21.000 prefer that.
00:21:22.180 But they
00:21:22.520 have AIs
00:21:23.300 now that
00:21:24.600 if this
00:21:25.060 were recorded,
00:21:26.460 I could run
00:21:27.020 it through
00:21:27.300 the AI and
00:21:28.820 then when it's
00:21:29.340 done, it
00:21:29.660 would sound
00:21:30.000 like I had
00:21:30.540 a better
00:21:31.020 microphone and
00:21:32.660 better sound
00:21:33.320 control in
00:21:34.000 my studio.
00:21:35.300 So I've
00:21:36.560 done that a
00:21:37.040 few times.
00:21:37.920 So you've
00:21:38.320 heard, if
00:21:39.160 you've seen
00:21:39.880 some of the
00:21:40.360 replays, only
00:21:41.320 a few.
00:21:43.940 But seems
00:21:46.020 like it'd be
00:21:46.680 fun if you
00:21:47.500 could do it
00:21:47.860 in real time
00:21:48.580 so that the
00:21:49.400 user could
00:21:49.920 just say,
00:21:50.360 yeah, it
00:21:50.620 could be
00:21:50.800 the studio
00:21:51.340 sound.
00:21:53.040 Well, Alex
00:21:53.760 Jones is
00:21:54.420 teasing us
00:21:55.300 that there's
00:21:57.180 a whole bunch
00:21:58.200 of news that
00:21:59.080 will be coming
00:21:59.600 from the
00:22:00.120 Department of
00:22:00.700 Justice that's
00:22:01.940 big, big,
00:22:02.700 big, and he
00:22:04.160 personally knows
00:22:05.300 of a whole
00:22:06.300 bunch of
00:22:06.760 grand juries
00:22:07.440 that are
00:22:07.900 open.
00:22:09.340 Now, Alex
00:22:11.220 Jones has
00:22:11.820 good sources.
00:22:13.760 So when he
00:22:14.400 says it's
00:22:15.500 big, big,
00:22:16.480 big, as
00:22:17.080 in, I
00:22:17.940 guess, bigger
00:22:18.640 than we would
00:22:19.280 expect it to
00:22:20.020 be, would be
00:22:20.680 the way I
00:22:21.180 would interpret
00:22:21.680 that.
00:22:23.600 And we also
00:22:24.380 know that the
00:22:25.140 grand juries
00:22:26.040 can pretty much
00:22:27.940 indict anybody
00:22:29.020 for anything.
00:22:30.720 So it's
00:22:31.440 unlikely that
00:22:33.140 there would be
00:22:33.460 a lot of
00:22:33.840 grand juries
00:22:34.520 that come up
00:22:35.300 with, no,
00:22:35.940 I don't
00:22:36.400 think that
00:22:36.760 should go
00:22:37.180 to court.
00:22:38.060 That sort
00:22:38.640 of doesn't
00:22:39.060 happen.
00:22:40.300 So because
00:22:41.720 the grand
00:22:42.240 jury is not
00:22:43.320 actual evidence
00:22:44.380 and actual
00:22:45.020 proof or an
00:22:46.040 actual trial,
00:22:47.460 it's just an
00:22:49.260 argument that
00:22:50.080 there's enough
00:22:50.960 guilty-looking
00:22:52.340 stuff that it
00:22:54.060 would make
00:22:54.440 sense to take
00:22:55.580 it to trial.
00:22:56.040 So apparently
00:22:58.280 a good
00:23:00.520 lawyer can
00:23:01.180 get a grand
00:23:02.520 jury indictment
00:23:03.460 pretty much
00:23:04.400 every time,
00:23:05.460 if there's
00:23:06.020 anything to
00:23:06.800 it at all.
00:23:07.960 So we
00:23:08.420 should expect,
00:23:10.500 if Alex
00:23:11.560 Jones is
00:23:12.100 correct on
00:23:12.840 this, and
00:23:13.840 again, he's
00:23:14.400 got a sort
00:23:15.420 of impressive
00:23:15.980 track record on
00:23:17.080 things like
00:23:17.700 this, there
00:23:19.800 could be a
00:23:20.440 whole bunch
00:23:21.040 of, I don't
00:23:22.500 know if there'll
00:23:22.900 be arrests,
00:23:24.540 but there
00:23:24.920 could be a
00:23:25.640 whole bunch
00:23:26.480 of revenge
00:23:27.840 coming.
00:23:29.780 I've never
00:23:30.500 been so happy
00:23:31.340 about revenge.
00:23:33.260 Revenge just
00:23:34.060 seems like
00:23:34.520 something that
00:23:35.160 I would
00:23:35.620 automatically
00:23:36.320 want to
00:23:36.900 avoid, unless
00:23:39.200 it was something
00:23:40.180 personal, I
00:23:40.880 suppose.
00:23:41.420 But I wouldn't
00:23:41.960 want to see
00:23:42.400 other people
00:23:43.040 doing it.
00:23:44.180 But in this
00:23:44.820 case, I do.
00:23:45.540 As I told
00:23:46.080 you, you
00:23:46.780 have to have
00:23:47.220 mutually assured
00:23:48.120 destruction, or
00:23:49.880 else one side
00:23:50.900 will completely
00:23:51.660 dominate the
00:23:52.440 other.
00:23:52.900 And if you
00:23:53.720 don't activate
00:23:54.620 the mutually
00:23:55.220 assured
00:23:55.660 destruction, they're
00:23:57.500 just going to
00:23:58.000 do it again.
00:23:59.620 So they might
00:24:00.680 do it again
00:24:01.200 anyway, but at
00:24:02.560 least you've
00:24:02.940 got a chance
00:24:03.880 of teaching
00:24:05.640 people that if
00:24:06.740 you do it, we're
00:24:07.400 going to do it,
00:24:08.040 and there's no
00:24:08.620 way around it.
00:24:09.740 It's mutually
00:24:10.360 assured
00:24:10.940 destruction.
00:24:12.800 And so I
00:24:13.660 would be quite
00:24:14.320 happy if the
00:24:15.420 same people who
00:24:16.320 tried to law
00:24:17.160 fair Trump and
00:24:18.040 tried to remove
00:24:18.680 him from office
00:24:19.400 in a coup, I'd
00:24:21.040 be very happy if
00:24:22.120 he got his
00:24:22.440 revenge.
00:24:25.940 And more
00:24:29.840 the better.
00:24:30.660 I mean, I
00:24:30.980 don't even think
00:24:31.600 they should hold
00:24:32.180 back.
00:24:33.060 I feel like they
00:24:33.820 should be as
00:24:34.280 aggressive as I
00:24:35.160 want to, and I
00:24:36.600 feel like the
00:24:37.200 country is ready
00:24:38.160 for it.
00:24:38.760 One of the
00:24:39.180 things we
00:24:39.680 learned is that
00:24:42.160 short of an
00:24:43.100 organized, paid
00:24:44.200 protest, Americans
00:24:46.480 don't really care
00:24:47.480 about anything.
00:24:49.040 You can abuse
00:24:50.380 Americans like
00:24:51.140 crazy, and they
00:24:52.320 can even find out
00:24:53.360 you did it.
00:24:54.740 They'll just sort
00:24:55.440 of write an
00:24:57.460 angry post on
00:24:58.500 X and just go
00:24:59.500 on with their
00:24:59.920 day.
00:25:01.020 So if you
00:25:03.020 imagine that
00:25:04.880 there's something
00:25:05.380 that Trump can do
00:25:06.260 that will cause,
00:25:07.680 you know, an
00:25:08.380 uprising, I don't
00:25:09.940 know if there's
00:25:10.320 anything that
00:25:10.820 anybody can do
00:25:11.640 to cause an
00:25:12.220 uprising.
00:25:12.600 I mean, it
00:25:13.600 would have to
00:25:13.980 be so, so
00:25:15.880 out of line
00:25:17.640 before you
00:25:19.060 could actually
00:25:19.600 motivate people
00:25:20.640 to get off the
00:25:21.300 couch, in
00:25:22.200 America anyway,
00:25:23.480 that I feel
00:25:24.680 like Trump can
00:25:25.620 jail or indict
00:25:27.520 every one of
00:25:28.500 his enemies.
00:25:29.580 Because there's
00:25:30.480 real stuff there.
00:25:32.000 If he made up
00:25:33.140 stuff to jail
00:25:34.560 his enemies,
00:25:35.240 well, that would
00:25:35.720 be very bad.
00:25:37.020 But it looks
00:25:37.540 like there's just
00:25:38.160 plenty of real
00:25:38.920 stuff.
00:25:39.880 So more the
00:25:40.500 better.
00:25:40.740 But then
00:25:43.000 Alex Jones
00:25:43.820 says something
00:25:45.020 that I'm a
00:25:45.600 little less
00:25:46.180 inclined to
00:25:47.400 believe.
00:25:47.940 So I'm going
00:25:48.300 to bet against
00:25:49.140 this one.
00:25:50.540 But Alex
00:25:52.020 Jones says
00:25:52.660 that, I
00:25:53.880 hope I got
00:25:54.600 this right.
00:25:55.900 I'll apologize
00:25:56.920 to Alex if
00:25:58.260 I somehow read
00:25:59.180 something wrong.
00:26:00.360 But it looks
00:26:00.900 like my
00:26:02.200 reading of his
00:26:02.980 post is that
00:26:04.580 he said there
00:26:05.180 are 27 peer
00:26:06.540 reviewed doctors
00:26:07.600 stating that
00:26:08.920 100% of the
00:26:10.260 people who
00:26:10.720 are vaccinated
00:26:11.480 I guess with
00:26:12.180 the COVID
00:26:12.820 vaccination will
00:26:14.040 die by 2028
00:26:15.540 because of the
00:26:17.080 mRNA attack and
00:26:18.260 the vaccine.
00:26:19.880 So he's
00:26:21.560 predicting,
00:26:22.660 according to
00:26:23.260 these doctors,
00:26:24.980 that 300
00:26:27.340 million Americans
00:26:28.560 will be dead
00:26:29.660 in two years.
00:26:31.780 Does that
00:26:32.720 sound like
00:26:34.040 something that
00:26:34.720 might really
00:26:35.260 happen?
00:26:36.260 Well, first of
00:26:37.140 all, you know
00:26:37.680 that peer
00:26:38.580 reviewed doctors
00:26:39.440 means absolutely
00:26:40.380 nothing, right?
00:26:42.160 My audience
00:26:43.420 by now, you
00:26:44.560 all know,
00:26:45.580 peer review
00:26:46.180 is nothing.
00:26:48.700 It's just
00:26:49.120 nothing.
00:26:49.980 In fact,
00:26:51.080 peer review
00:26:51.880 means there's a
00:26:52.800 slightly greater
00:26:53.640 chance it's
00:26:54.380 fake than
00:26:55.680 real.
00:26:56.740 Let me say
00:26:57.600 that again.
00:26:59.100 In 2025,
00:27:01.100 there's more
00:27:02.260 bullshit studies
00:27:03.480 than there are
00:27:04.120 real ones.
00:27:05.160 You know,
00:27:05.400 more than half.
00:27:06.100 And that
00:27:08.220 means when
00:27:09.300 somebody says
00:27:09.980 something's
00:27:10.540 peer reviewed,
00:27:11.820 that should
00:27:13.140 indicate to
00:27:14.140 an educated
00:27:15.060 person that
00:27:16.420 is most
00:27:17.120 likely, not
00:27:18.460 guaranteed,
00:27:20.020 but most
00:27:20.620 likely fake.
00:27:21.980 Most likely.
00:27:23.360 As in more
00:27:24.040 than half.
00:27:26.360 So I'm not
00:27:27.840 impressed that
00:27:28.960 they're 27 of
00:27:30.140 them or that
00:27:30.840 they're peer
00:27:31.340 reviewed.
00:27:32.360 So those are
00:27:33.120 two things we
00:27:33.900 know don't tell
00:27:34.580 you anything,
00:27:35.780 that if
00:27:36.340 there's a
00:27:36.720 bunch of
00:27:37.100 experts on
00:27:37.840 the same
00:27:38.200 side,
00:27:39.120 means nothing.
00:27:40.600 In 2025,
00:27:41.700 we should all
00:27:42.200 understand.
00:27:42.760 That doesn't
00:27:43.120 mean anything.
00:27:43.980 It gives you
00:27:44.500 no comfort,
00:27:46.480 certainty,
00:27:47.280 confidence,
00:27:48.120 nothing.
00:27:49.020 It's like it
00:27:49.580 didn't even
00:27:49.940 happen.
00:27:50.780 It doesn't
00:27:51.080 matter how
00:27:51.480 many there
00:27:51.860 are.
00:27:53.380 Anyway,
00:27:56.080 how many
00:27:56.900 of you believe
00:27:57.440 that?
00:27:57.960 He also says
00:27:58.700 that we
00:27:59.660 also know
00:28:00.580 that around
00:28:01.780 70% of the
00:28:02.920 shots given
00:28:03.600 to humans
00:28:04.220 were just
00:28:04.660 salt water.
00:28:06.120 Okay.
00:28:07.680 What?
00:28:09.360 How many
00:28:10.180 of you believe
00:28:10.880 that 70%
00:28:11.820 of the COVID
00:28:12.420 shots were
00:28:13.580 just salt
00:28:14.460 water?
00:28:16.040 Okay,
00:28:16.440 I can't go
00:28:17.940 that far.
00:28:19.240 And he also
00:28:19.920 says insurance
00:28:21.120 company actuaries
00:28:22.700 show more than
00:28:23.860 30 million people
00:28:25.020 have been killed
00:28:25.620 by the COVID
00:28:27.020 shots so far.
00:28:28.960 Do you believe
00:28:30.000 that that's
00:28:30.540 true?
00:28:30.780 No.
00:28:35.120 I've certainly
00:28:35.960 never heard of
00:28:36.600 these 30 million
00:28:37.660 people that were
00:28:38.380 killed by this
00:28:39.140 shot.
00:28:39.600 I haven't heard
00:28:40.040 about that.
00:28:42.460 All right.
00:28:43.560 So,
00:28:44.440 moving on.
00:28:47.600 John Bolton,
00:28:49.900 as you know,
00:28:50.780 his house got
00:28:51.600 raided by the
00:28:53.500 FBI.
00:28:54.340 We don't know
00:28:54.960 exactly what his
00:28:56.180 alleged crimes
00:28:57.660 are, but
00:28:58.240 has something
00:28:58.800 to do with
00:29:00.360 confidential
00:29:01.340 documents.
00:29:02.920 Now, I'm
00:29:03.600 not even 100%
00:29:04.700 sure that's
00:29:05.620 true, but
00:29:06.920 that's the
00:29:07.940 emerging narrative
00:29:08.940 has something
00:29:09.680 to do with
00:29:10.260 some kind
00:29:11.320 of classified
00:29:12.160 documents.
00:29:13.840 But now
00:29:14.760 we're learning
00:29:15.720 that some,
00:29:18.740 according to
00:29:19.580 Carmine
00:29:20.940 Sabia, who
00:29:22.180 talked to a
00:29:22.860 bunch of
00:29:23.220 sources,
00:29:23.580 he said
00:29:25.460 that there
00:29:27.120 are going
00:29:27.340 to be a
00:29:27.680 lot of
00:29:28.000 people who
00:29:28.520 feel ridiculous
00:29:29.440 for what
00:29:30.480 they have
00:29:30.800 said to
00:29:31.280 defend John
00:29:32.340 Bolton after
00:29:33.520 they find out
00:29:34.340 what he did.
00:29:36.120 So,
00:29:37.240 Carmine is
00:29:39.140 telling us
00:29:39.800 that he's
00:29:41.220 got a little
00:29:41.680 insight into
00:29:42.880 what the
00:29:43.240 allegations are,
00:29:44.620 and that once
00:29:45.260 we hear it,
00:29:46.060 we're going to
00:29:46.420 say, whoa,
00:29:48.000 that's a lot
00:29:48.600 worse than I
00:29:49.160 thought it
00:29:49.480 was.
00:29:50.580 Maybe.
00:29:51.760 We'll see.
00:29:53.580 But now
00:29:56.580 there's some
00:29:57.300 allegations that
00:29:58.260 he may have
00:29:58.780 emailed some
00:29:59.840 classified documents
00:30:01.040 to his family
00:30:02.120 members, which
00:30:03.960 would be
00:30:04.660 illegal.
00:30:07.180 And then we
00:30:07.820 have the
00:30:08.200 mystery of
00:30:09.760 why the
00:30:10.140 Biden
00:30:10.540 administration,
00:30:11.620 which apparently
00:30:12.100 was aware of
00:30:13.240 these allegations,
00:30:14.640 but decided not
00:30:15.740 to follow up
00:30:16.520 on it.
00:30:17.540 And the
00:30:18.300 suspicion,
00:30:20.120 unproven,
00:30:21.160 is that the
00:30:21.740 reason Biden
00:30:22.440 would not
00:30:23.000 follow up on
00:30:23.720 it for his
00:30:24.340 administration,
00:30:25.580 is that
00:30:25.920 Bolden was
00:30:26.500 such a
00:30:27.120 critic of
00:30:29.220 Trump.
00:30:30.260 So,
00:30:30.900 if you're a
00:30:31.540 critic of
00:30:32.080 Trump,
00:30:33.520 they want you
00:30:34.220 to get some
00:30:34.640 airtime and
00:30:35.360 not go to
00:30:36.000 jail.
00:30:36.540 That's what
00:30:37.020 they say.
00:30:37.960 I don't know,
00:30:38.360 there might have
00:30:38.700 been other
00:30:39.000 reasons.
00:30:42.560 So,
00:30:43.280 Mike Benz is
00:30:44.720 saying on X,
00:30:46.140 he goes,
00:30:46.660 so,
00:30:47.180 the official
00:30:47.760 explanation for
00:30:48.800 why the IRS
00:30:49.820 let the Clinton
00:30:51.080 foundation off
00:30:52.000 the hook
00:30:52.400 was that the
00:30:53.380 fraud was so
00:30:54.200 monstrously huge
00:30:55.300 it was too
00:30:55.900 big for the
00:30:56.480 IRS to
00:30:57.060 take on.
00:30:58.900 Now,
00:30:59.460 that's a
00:31:02.180 true summary
00:31:03.480 that's written
00:31:05.080 as much for
00:31:06.600 the hubris
00:31:07.620 impact.
00:31:10.920 But here's,
00:31:13.420 we don't
00:31:15.500 know,
00:31:15.920 we don't
00:31:16.420 know exactly
00:31:17.220 what the
00:31:18.240 IRS was
00:31:18.920 really
00:31:19.200 thinking.
00:31:19.940 We do
00:31:20.380 know that
00:31:20.860 they said
00:31:21.380 something like
00:31:22.400 they didn't
00:31:23.320 have the
00:31:23.660 resources to
00:31:24.640 go after
00:31:25.120 it.
00:31:26.480 So,
00:31:27.500 I guess
00:31:28.420 Mike Benz's
00:31:29.780 summary of
00:31:30.660 it is
00:31:31.400 accurate,
00:31:32.320 given what
00:31:33.240 we know.
00:31:34.620 But IRS
00:31:35.480 may have more
00:31:36.160 to say about
00:31:36.680 that.
00:31:37.560 But they
00:31:37.960 did,
00:31:38.420 in fact,
00:31:39.400 indicate that
00:31:40.240 they didn't
00:31:40.560 have the
00:31:40.840 resources to
00:31:41.660 go after
00:31:42.140 it,
00:31:42.780 which doesn't
00:31:43.400 even sound
00:31:43.940 like a real
00:31:44.620 thing,
00:31:45.040 does it?
00:31:46.240 That doesn't
00:31:46.840 sound real.
00:31:47.440 if it's
00:31:49.200 the biggest
00:31:49.820 thing,
00:31:50.740 that would
00:31:51.480 be the
00:31:51.820 thing that
00:31:52.160 got the
00:31:52.600 resources.
00:31:53.880 If it was
00:31:54.620 big and
00:31:55.060 important,
00:31:56.020 then that
00:31:56.360 would be
00:31:56.680 very big
00:31:57.320 and very
00:31:58.200 important.
00:31:59.300 So,
00:31:59.800 it would be
00:32:00.300 the other
00:32:00.960 things that
00:32:01.600 didn't get
00:32:02.040 resources.
00:32:03.600 They don't
00:32:04.320 say,
00:32:04.700 yeah,
00:32:04.920 we'd love
00:32:05.380 to do the
00:32:05.960 biggest,
00:32:06.380 most important
00:32:07.020 thing,
00:32:07.960 but we
00:32:08.460 used all
00:32:08.940 our resources
00:32:09.920 for all
00:32:10.280 being used
00:32:10.720 for lesser
00:32:11.180 important
00:32:11.600 things.
00:32:13.020 Yeah.
00:32:13.360 more to
00:32:16.700 learn about
00:32:17.160 that one.
00:32:21.240 Did you
00:32:21.820 lock the
00:32:22.100 front door?
00:32:22.620 Check.
00:32:23.180 Close the

00:32:28.340 No.
00:32:29.160 And you

00:32:36.360 I'm looking

00:32:49.820 So,
00:32:50.500 Gavin Newsom,
00:32:52.080 as you know,
00:32:52.580 he's doing
00:32:52.920 these mocking
00:32:53.920 social media
00:32:54.900 posts,
00:32:55.660 making fun
00:32:56.160 of the way
00:32:56.580 Trump does
00:32:57.720 his social
00:32:58.280 media,
00:32:59.020 so he's
00:32:59.320 trying to,
00:33:00.420 you know,
00:33:00.660 he is
00:33:01.020 successfully,
00:33:01.960 probably with
00:33:02.660 some help,
00:33:03.380 writing it,
00:33:04.900 mocked Trump
00:33:06.700 and amused
00:33:07.620 people and
00:33:08.380 got attention
00:33:09.000 and he got
00:33:10.260 some fundraising
00:33:11.120 so it
00:33:12.780 looks like
00:33:13.200 a success.
00:33:14.660 However,
00:33:15.760 I'd like to
00:33:17.140 make a
00:33:17.460 prediction.
00:33:20.020 It's only
00:33:20.920 one joke.
00:33:23.000 Now,
00:33:24.020 there's one
00:33:24.540 joke that's
00:33:25.280 well extended,
00:33:26.840 you know,
00:33:27.160 all the
00:33:27.780 different ways
00:33:28.840 that they do
00:33:29.380 it are kind
00:33:29.800 of clever,
00:33:31.060 you know,
00:33:31.260 making fun
00:33:31.780 of Trump's
00:33:32.360 writing style,
00:33:33.760 but it's
00:33:35.320 still one
00:33:35.940 joke.
00:33:36.420 and how
00:33:38.560 often can
00:33:39.820 you push
00:33:40.400 one joke?
00:33:42.320 Well,
00:33:42.920 I'm going
00:33:43.320 to call
00:33:43.740 it.
00:33:44.800 It is
00:33:45.200 now
00:33:45.720 overdone.
00:33:48.640 I don't
00:33:49.440 think people
00:33:50.080 are reading
00:33:50.560 the new
00:33:51.040 ones the
00:33:51.660 way they
00:33:52.040 read the
00:33:52.760 first ones.
00:33:54.100 So today,
00:33:54.700 for example,
00:33:55.560 I saw there
00:33:56.140 was a new
00:33:56.540 one,
00:33:56.900 it was this
00:33:57.280 big wall
00:33:57.920 of text
00:33:58.520 in all
00:33:59.360 caps that's
00:34:01.000 going to
00:34:01.480 mock Trump.
00:34:02.080 the first
00:34:03.340 two or
00:34:04.280 three that
00:34:04.800 I saw,
00:34:05.760 I thought,
00:34:06.820 oh,
00:34:06.960 this will
00:34:07.280 be fun,
00:34:07.780 and I
00:34:08.020 read them,
00:34:08.920 and I
00:34:09.260 thought,
00:34:09.600 oh,
00:34:09.940 they're
00:34:10.140 actually
00:34:10.540 well executed,
00:34:11.940 you know,
00:34:12.200 pretty clever
00:34:13.360 mockery.
00:34:14.620 But today,
00:34:15.640 I see another
00:34:17.040 one,
00:34:17.460 and I think
00:34:17.940 to myself,
00:34:18.580 I feel like
00:34:20.200 I've already
00:34:20.600 seen it.
00:34:21.620 Not this
00:34:22.140 specific one,
00:34:23.820 but it's
00:34:24.200 a damn
00:34:24.880 joke,
00:34:25.960 right?
00:34:26.640 You know,
00:34:27.320 there are
00:34:27.580 some TV
00:34:28.200 shows that
00:34:29.160 are so
00:34:29.500 formulaic,
00:34:30.380 like a
00:34:32.040 TV series
00:34:32.860 that you
00:34:33.700 know exactly
00:34:34.360 what's going
00:34:34.840 to happen.
00:34:35.360 It's like,
00:34:35.660 oh,
00:34:35.920 here's the
00:34:36.300 person who
00:34:36.680 gets murdered.
00:34:37.820 Oh,
00:34:38.260 here's the
00:34:39.000 Ark.
00:34:40.520 So,
00:34:42.320 my prediction
00:34:44.800 is this.
00:34:46.600 Newsom has
00:34:47.280 tried a
00:34:47.980 whole bunch
00:34:48.520 of different
00:34:48.940 things.
00:34:49.980 This just
00:34:50.500 happened to
00:34:50.900 be something
00:34:51.360 that worked.
00:34:52.780 So,
00:34:53.100 if you
00:34:53.520 believe that
00:34:54.500 this thing
00:34:55.020 is now an
00:34:55.540 indication that
00:34:56.460 he can do
00:34:57.080 powerful things
00:34:58.060 and get
00:34:58.380 attention and
00:34:59.040 make an
00:34:59.380 impact,
00:34:59.760 nope.
00:35:02.520 The only
00:35:03.340 evidence we
00:35:04.020 have is
00:35:05.000 that he
00:35:05.320 flailed
00:35:05.880 around trying
00:35:06.800 thing after
00:35:07.340 thing after
00:35:07.880 thing and
00:35:08.940 then he
00:35:09.220 found one
00:35:09.820 thing that
00:35:10.300 went viral.
00:35:12.360 That's all
00:35:13.000 we know.
00:35:14.160 It's not
00:35:14.560 like he
00:35:14.940 learned how
00:35:15.660 to be
00:35:15.920 viral.
00:35:17.020 He got
00:35:17.400 this one
00:35:17.960 thing,
00:35:18.580 one joke
00:35:19.400 that he's
00:35:20.340 just repeating
00:35:20.980 over and
00:35:21.440 over until
00:35:21.900 we're already
00:35:22.360 sick of it.
00:35:23.980 And like I
00:35:24.580 said before,
00:35:25.440 he's mocking
00:35:26.300 Trump for
00:35:27.780 something that
00:35:28.420 Trump does
00:35:28.940 better than
00:35:29.500 anybody's
00:35:30.080 ever done
00:35:30.500 anything,
00:35:31.320 which is
00:35:31.780 communicating to
00:35:32.840 the masses
00:35:33.360 in a way
00:35:34.160 that gets
00:35:34.520 attention and
00:35:35.340 you can't
00:35:35.900 ignore.
00:35:36.900 So,
00:35:37.620 it'd be one
00:35:38.220 thing if he
00:35:38.780 were mocking
00:35:39.400 something Trump
00:35:40.380 did poorly,
00:35:41.860 but you can't
00:35:43.320 get much
00:35:43.780 traction mocking
00:35:44.940 something where
00:35:45.900 he's the best
00:35:46.680 who ever
00:35:47.300 lived.
00:35:49.540 What are you
00:35:50.280 going to do
00:35:50.580 with that?
00:35:51.720 It's not
00:35:52.180 exactly,
00:35:52.760 you know,
00:35:54.020 destroying his
00:35:54.960 reputation.
00:35:56.480 So,
00:35:57.120 I don't
00:35:57.400 know.
00:35:58.820 So,
00:35:59.460 my prediction
00:36:00.080 is that
00:36:00.920 that was a
00:36:02.180 fluke.
00:36:03.520 They just
00:36:04.140 tried a lot
00:36:04.700 of things.
00:36:05.300 They hit this
00:36:05.820 little nugget,
00:36:07.180 but they
00:36:07.460 can't ride
00:36:07.940 that one
00:36:09.860 little trick,
00:36:11.180 that one
00:36:11.580 joke forever.
00:36:12.360 They're going
00:36:12.600 to have to
00:36:12.840 do new
00:36:13.260 stuff.
00:36:14.340 What are
00:36:14.740 the odds
00:36:15.180 that the
00:36:15.520 next thing
00:36:16.000 they do
00:36:16.340 is another
00:36:16.780 home run?
00:36:18.020 Almost
00:36:18.500 zero.
00:36:20.080 Like one
00:36:20.760 percent,
00:36:21.280 maybe.
00:36:21.480 All right.
00:36:24.840 Remember
00:36:25.200 the other
00:36:26.080 day I
00:36:26.520 said I
00:36:27.600 couldn't
00:36:28.080 tell from
00:36:28.460 the news
00:36:28.980 if we
00:36:29.380 had a
00:36:29.960 trade deal
00:36:30.640 with the
00:36:31.000 EU or
00:36:32.280 if it
00:36:32.600 was stuck
00:36:33.500 over the
00:36:34.380 issue of
00:36:35.120 speech,
00:36:36.020 you know,
00:36:36.200 digital
00:36:36.600 speech,
00:36:37.540 because
00:36:38.580 Europe
00:36:39.600 would like
00:36:40.040 to put
00:36:41.880 limits on
00:36:42.820 Americans
00:36:43.760 and their
00:36:44.640 speech if
00:36:45.640 it goes
00:36:46.020 through
00:36:46.400 digital
00:36:47.140 platforms
00:36:47.700 that run
00:36:48.200 in their
00:36:48.520 country,
00:36:49.040 and of
00:36:49.440 course they
00:36:49.760 all do.
00:36:50.160 And the
00:36:51.660 U.S.
00:36:52.020 says,
00:36:52.460 no,
00:36:52.720 you can't
00:36:54.600 suppress the
00:36:55.400 United States,
00:36:56.920 so you're
00:36:57.840 going to
00:36:57.940 have to
00:36:58.160 leave our
00:36:58.700 digital
00:36:59.080 platforms
00:36:59.680 alone,
00:37:00.520 and apparently
00:37:01.820 that's an
00:37:02.420 unsolved
00:37:03.000 problem,
00:37:03.600 so we do
00:37:04.080 not have
00:37:04.700 an EU
00:37:05.680 trade deal.
00:37:08.040 So they
00:37:09.040 refused to
00:37:09.940 budge,
00:37:10.340 and I
00:37:10.600 think we
00:37:11.040 refused to
00:37:11.800 budge.
00:37:12.780 So we'll
00:37:15.120 see.
00:37:15.600 Does that
00:37:16.140 mean that
00:37:16.560 Trump will
00:37:17.060 just leave
00:37:17.580 the whatever
00:37:18.920 tariffs in
00:37:19.700 place?
00:37:20.160 And just
00:37:20.640 say,
00:37:21.240 well,
00:37:21.460 take your
00:37:21.840 time.
00:37:22.960 In the
00:37:23.440 meantime,
00:37:24.420 we've got
00:37:24.680 massive
00:37:25.060 tariffs on
00:37:25.740 your European
00:37:26.420 stuff,
00:37:27.520 but take
00:37:28.200 all the
00:37:28.500 time you
00:37:28.860 want,
00:37:29.400 because that's
00:37:29.800 what he's
00:37:30.120 doing with
00:37:30.620 China.
00:37:31.520 He's basically
00:37:32.060 saying,
00:37:32.900 yeah, we'd
00:37:33.720 love to have
00:37:34.060 a great
00:37:34.500 trade deal,
00:37:35.300 but take
00:37:35.960 all the
00:37:36.240 time you
00:37:36.580 want.
00:37:37.040 We're
00:37:37.300 happy to
00:37:37.960 just tariff
00:37:39.400 you until
00:37:40.060 we get
00:37:40.920 everything we
00:37:41.480 want.
00:37:41.760 I will
00:37:45.160 remind you
00:37:45.920 that the
00:37:46.760 other day
00:37:47.280 when I
00:37:48.140 said on
00:37:48.820 X that
00:37:50.420 I thought
00:37:50.760 Trump was
00:37:51.360 going to
00:37:51.620 go after
00:37:52.000 the Russian
00:37:52.780 economy and
00:37:53.940 tank their
00:37:54.480 economy,
00:37:55.320 all the
00:37:56.080 smart people
00:37:56.960 fled,
00:37:58.100 came into
00:37:58.520 my comments
00:37:59.460 and said,
00:38:00.300 Scott,
00:38:01.060 you fool,
00:38:02.760 you fool,
00:38:04.160 stick to
00:38:04.660 cartooning.
00:38:05.580 You know
00:38:06.220 nothing about
00:38:06.900 economics,
00:38:07.540 despite your
00:38:09.060 economics degree
00:38:10.040 and your
00:38:10.480 MBA from
00:38:11.100 Berkeley.
00:38:11.800 You know
00:38:12.320 nothing about
00:38:12.920 economics and
00:38:14.260 you know
00:38:14.620 nothing about
00:38:15.200 the Ukraine
00:38:15.760 war and
00:38:16.280 nothing about
00:38:17.080 Putin and
00:38:19.100 you should
00:38:19.600 be reading
00:38:20.460 Mearsheimer
00:38:21.340 and some
00:38:22.020 other people,
00:38:22.960 which of
00:38:23.420 course I
00:38:23.780 have.
00:38:25.620 So people
00:38:26.280 were quite
00:38:26.980 sure that
00:38:28.260 the idea of
00:38:28.980 Trump destroying
00:38:30.120 the Russian
00:38:30.620 economy was
00:38:31.780 completely
00:38:32.340 nonsense.
00:38:34.260 And now we
00:38:34.980 learned that
00:38:35.640 Ukraine has
00:38:36.740 been
00:38:37.120 focusing on
00:38:38.840 the energy
00:38:39.620 resources in
00:38:40.880 Russia.
00:38:41.760 So they've
00:38:42.220 been sending
00:38:42.740 drones after
00:38:44.120 their refineries,
00:38:45.400 et cetera.
00:38:46.800 Reportedly,
00:38:47.660 and this is on
00:38:48.340 social media,
00:38:49.360 so I don't
00:38:49.780 know how
00:38:51.100 much you can
00:38:51.600 trust it,
00:38:52.440 but reportedly
00:38:53.140 they've already
00:38:53.780 knocked out
00:38:54.500 enough of
00:38:55.320 Russia's oil
00:38:57.180 producing
00:38:57.720 infrastructure.
00:38:58.720 They've gone
00:38:59.160 after pipelines
00:39:00.000 a few times,
00:39:00.840 they've gone
00:39:01.160 after refineries,
00:39:02.660 that there's a
00:39:04.200 shortage of gas
00:39:05.240 in Russia.
00:39:07.120 and that there
00:39:07.600 are long
00:39:08.020 lines waiting
00:39:08.780 for gas.
00:39:09.880 Now that
00:39:10.260 part, I'm
00:39:11.660 not ready to
00:39:13.100 believe the
00:39:14.180 reports yet.
00:39:16.040 Could be.
00:39:17.740 And there's
00:39:18.640 a report that
00:39:19.500 they got 10%
00:39:22.120 of the refineries
00:39:23.120 offline,
00:39:24.840 and that there's
00:39:27.460 a fuel crisis.
00:39:29.020 Now, if in
00:39:30.520 fact, Ukraine
00:39:31.780 continues to
00:39:32.700 focus on the
00:39:33.620 energy resources
00:39:35.100 in Russia,
00:39:36.440 whether or
00:39:37.100 not Ukraine
00:39:37.800 wins the
00:39:38.400 war,
00:39:39.640 would you
00:39:40.240 not,
00:39:40.800 you know,
00:39:41.620 winning the
00:39:42.160 war seems
00:39:42.580 unlikely,
00:39:43.660 but would
00:39:44.420 you agree
00:39:45.020 that they
00:39:46.320 would only
00:39:46.800 be doing
00:39:47.260 that if
00:39:48.160 Trump was
00:39:50.100 on board
00:39:50.580 with it?
00:39:51.980 And would
00:39:52.700 you agree
00:39:53.300 that they
00:39:54.220 wouldn't have
00:39:54.660 to destroy
00:39:55.300 all of their
00:39:56.320 refineries and
00:39:57.220 pipelines,
00:39:57.700 lines,
00:39:58.440 but somewhere
00:39:59.260 around 20%,
00:40:01.360 and they're
00:40:02.340 already halfway
00:40:02.960 to 20%,
00:40:04.020 somewhere around
00:40:05.260 20%,
00:40:06.100 the whole
00:40:07.140 country changes
00:40:08.760 because, you
00:40:10.460 know, it would
00:40:10.820 give them
00:40:11.140 budget problems,
00:40:12.300 and there
00:40:13.000 really would be
00:40:13.940 a shortage,
00:40:14.920 and people
00:40:15.500 really would
00:40:16.000 have to line
00:40:16.540 up for gas,
00:40:17.480 at around
00:40:17.860 20%,
00:40:18.620 probably.
00:40:21.420 So, but
00:40:22.680 we also have
00:40:24.260 reports that
00:40:25.820 Trump has
00:40:26.620 blocked
00:40:27.420 Ukraine from
00:40:28.440 using the
00:40:29.020 best American
00:40:29.980 missile,
00:40:31.540 the Atom
00:40:32.960 At-X,
00:40:34.620 or whatever,
00:40:35.000 I forget what
00:40:35.500 they're called,
00:40:36.220 but they're
00:40:36.740 really good
00:40:38.280 missiles that
00:40:39.160 can have
00:40:39.600 gigantic
00:40:40.200 payloads and
00:40:41.240 stuff,
00:40:41.880 and they
00:40:42.080 could attack
00:40:42.960 deep inside
00:40:44.140 Russian territory.
00:40:46.640 But apparently
00:40:47.260 Ukraine doesn't
00:40:48.480 need those
00:40:49.440 most modern
00:40:50.660 weapons because
00:40:51.880 they're already
00:40:52.560 attacking these
00:40:53.460 resources with
00:40:54.800 some level of
00:40:55.520 success, I
00:40:56.520 guess, using
00:40:57.000 drones.
00:40:59.920 So there it
00:41:00.800 is.
00:41:03.160 And Russia
00:41:04.140 is also
00:41:04.760 attacking Ukraine's
00:41:07.140 energy structure,
00:41:08.320 but I think
00:41:08.700 they've been
00:41:09.020 doing that since
00:41:09.660 the start.
00:41:13.540 So, and
00:41:15.800 then there's a
00:41:16.280 report in
00:41:16.900 Zero Hedge
00:41:17.640 is talking about
00:41:18.300 this, that
00:41:19.320 Putin allegedly
00:41:20.700 vetoed a plan
00:41:21.980 to send a
00:41:22.820 hypersonic missile
00:41:23.840 into Zelensky's
00:41:25.680 office.
00:41:27.740 That's
00:41:28.300 according to
00:41:28.860 the Belarusian
00:41:30.120 president.
00:41:30.840 So I guess we
00:41:31.340 can't trust any
00:41:32.100 of that, really.
00:41:34.120 I guess the
00:41:35.080 credibility of
00:41:35.940 that kind of
00:41:36.340 reporting is
00:41:36.940 zero.
00:41:39.480 So, if it's
00:41:41.260 true that
00:41:42.460 Ukraine has
00:41:43.200 decided to
00:41:43.800 focus on
00:41:44.560 Russia's
00:41:45.080 energy
00:41:45.800 infrastructure,
00:41:46.660 infrastructure, do
00:41:47.860 you believe that
00:41:48.600 they wouldn't be
00:41:49.160 able to take
00:41:51.540 down Russia's
00:41:52.320 economy?
00:41:53.660 I feel like they
00:41:54.860 could put a
00:41:55.400 pretty big dent
00:41:56.060 to it.
00:41:57.980 So, as you
00:41:59.560 know, the U.S.
00:42:00.780 has hired its
00:42:02.500 first chief
00:42:03.760 design officer.
00:42:04.880 And, uh, it's
00:42:07.740 one of the
00:42:08.420 co-founders of
00:42:09.720 Airbnb.
00:42:10.780 So, I guess he
00:42:11.680 worked on
00:42:12.160 Doge, and so
00:42:13.840 he's, he's got a
00:42:14.980 little history of
00:42:15.640 trying to help
00:42:16.100 the government.
00:42:17.360 And, uh, now
00:42:18.580 he's going to
00:42:19.700 try to make
00:42:20.780 interacting with
00:42:21.880 the government
00:42:22.480 as, quote,
00:42:24.080 satisfying to
00:42:25.120 use as the
00:42:25.900 Apple store.
00:42:26.740 Beautifully
00:42:27.160 designed, great
00:42:28.020 user experience,
00:42:29.380 and run on
00:42:30.040 modern software.
00:42:32.140 Wouldn't that
00:42:32.720 be amazing?
00:42:33.320 Can you
00:42:35.180 imagine, uh, if
00:42:37.280 dealing with a
00:42:37.980 government were
00:42:38.660 easy?
00:42:40.540 It feels
00:42:41.520 impossible, but
00:42:42.540 good luck to
00:42:43.800 him.
00:42:46.020 Well, apparently
00:42:47.060 the Pentagon
00:42:49.020 is going to
00:42:49.940 send troops
00:42:50.780 into Chicago
00:42:52.440 next.
00:42:53.340 As you know,
00:42:54.080 they've already,
00:42:55.400 um, well, at
00:42:57.280 least the
00:42:57.840 troops, but I
00:43:00.460 think they mean
00:43:01.000 National Guard,
00:43:01.780 right?
00:43:02.360 Troops.
00:43:03.320 I don't think
00:43:05.580 they mean any
00:43:06.220 other, but
00:43:07.200 maybe.
00:43:08.000 Anyway, the
00:43:08.520 Washington Post
00:43:09.440 is reporting
00:43:09.980 that Chicago's
00:43:10.800 next, and, uh,
00:43:13.120 Governor
00:43:14.040 Pritzker, um,
00:43:16.860 says that, uh,
00:43:17.760 Trump's threat
00:43:18.440 to bring the
00:43:18.980 National Guard
00:43:19.500 to Chicago isn't
00:43:20.980 about safety.
00:43:22.320 It's a test of
00:43:23.300 the limits of
00:43:24.000 his power and
00:43:25.220 a trial run for
00:43:26.420 a police state.
00:43:28.420 Illinois has
00:43:29.080 long worked with
00:43:29.860 federal law
00:43:30.480 enforcement to
00:43:31.120 tackle crime,
00:43:31.860 but we won't
00:43:32.780 let a dictator
00:43:33.680 impose his
00:43:34.560 will.
00:43:37.320 Does that
00:43:38.260 sound like
00:43:38.900 what's happening
00:43:39.540 to you?
00:43:41.320 Does this look
00:43:42.420 like a clever
00:43:43.480 Trump plot
00:43:45.480 to, uh,
00:43:47.340 take over the
00:43:48.040 country and be
00:43:48.680 a dictator?
00:43:51.180 Or does it
00:43:52.620 look to you
00:43:53.280 like he's
00:43:54.520 doing very
00:43:55.180 popular things
00:43:56.260 that people
00:43:56.880 want, as in
00:43:58.300 clamping down
00:43:59.620 on crime in
00:44:00.280 our highest
00:44:00.700 crime areas?
00:44:02.620 I don't know.
00:44:03.940 Uh, it
00:44:05.260 looks to me
00:44:06.140 like, uh, the
00:44:07.260 Democrats are
00:44:08.420 once again
00:44:09.120 very concerned
00:44:10.480 about imaginary
00:44:11.320 things.
00:44:12.260 Well, it's
00:44:13.660 not that I
00:44:14.400 oppose him
00:44:15.500 putting resources
00:44:16.640 towards stopping
00:44:17.480 crime.
00:44:18.360 It's that I
00:44:19.500 imagine, in
00:44:21.120 my imagination,
00:44:22.880 that it's just
00:44:23.460 part of his
00:44:24.240 beginning plot
00:44:25.120 to take over
00:44:26.100 the country and
00:44:26.960 become a
00:44:27.360 dictator for
00:44:28.000 life.
00:44:28.440 I tell
00:44:30.900 you, once
00:44:32.580 you realize
00:44:33.240 the Democrats
00:44:34.000 are almost
00:44:34.720 entirely consumed
00:44:36.160 with worrying
00:44:37.520 about imaginary
00:44:38.360 shit, it's
00:44:41.460 sort of the
00:44:42.100 frame that
00:44:42.560 makes everything
00:44:43.140 make sense.
00:44:44.380 He's going to
00:44:44.920 take our
00:44:45.340 democracy.
00:44:46.760 Really?
00:44:47.780 Is he?
00:44:48.740 Or is he just
00:44:49.640 going to make
00:44:50.120 your, uh,
00:44:51.200 toilets have
00:44:51.960 more flow so
00:44:52.880 the turd
00:44:53.280 goes down?
00:44:54.480 Well, what's
00:44:54.880 he going to
00:44:55.220 do?
00:44:55.560 What is more
00:44:56.300 likely?
00:44:57.140 Steal your
00:44:57.680 democracy?
00:44:58.440 Or let
00:44:59.340 you use
00:44:59.960 plastic straws
00:45:01.340 again?
00:45:02.120 What is he
00:45:03.020 more likely
00:45:03.620 to do?
00:45:05.580 He's going to
00:45:06.440 steal my
00:45:06.920 democracy.
00:45:10.600 All right,
00:45:11.560 Byron York
00:45:12.420 is laughing at
00:45:13.360 the Washington
00:45:14.360 Post.
00:45:16.180 They've got an
00:45:17.120 editorial in
00:45:18.480 which they
00:45:18.960 show deep
00:45:19.540 concern for
00:45:20.380 the politicization
00:45:22.620 of justice.
00:45:24.620 And as
00:45:25.580 Byron York
00:45:26.220 points out,
00:45:27.340 given the
00:45:27.780 events of
00:45:28.560 2017 to
00:45:29.820 2024, that's
00:45:31.240 the whole
00:45:31.560 Russia collusion
00:45:32.500 hoax period,
00:45:33.980 this is a
00:45:34.740 darkly funny
00:45:35.620 paragraph.
00:45:38.400 And the
00:45:40.400 Washington Post
00:45:41.140 says that
00:45:41.760 going after
00:45:42.380 John Bolton
00:45:43.200 is a fresh
00:45:44.720 instance of
00:45:45.540 the old
00:45:45.920 Soviet saying,
00:45:47.140 show me the
00:45:47.920 man and I'll
00:45:48.640 show you the
00:45:49.320 crime.
00:45:49.740 does it
00:45:51.680 sound like
00:45:52.280 they just
00:45:53.840 decided to
00:45:54.560 figure out
00:45:55.160 what John
00:45:56.540 Bolton did
00:45:57.080 wrong?
00:45:57.840 Or does it
00:45:58.760 sound like
00:45:59.300 there was a
00:46:00.220 lot of
00:46:00.500 evidence that
00:46:01.100 he was doing
00:46:01.520 some stuff
00:46:02.040 wrong and
00:46:02.440 they finally
00:46:02.840 decided to
00:46:03.460 act on it?
00:46:05.680 The fact
00:46:06.820 that this
00:46:07.580 old show
00:46:09.000 me the
00:46:09.340 man and
00:46:09.740 I'll show
00:46:10.060 you the
00:46:10.340 crime can
00:46:11.880 be used by
00:46:12.680 both sides
00:46:13.420 whenever they
00:46:13.980 want, kind
00:46:15.380 of makes the
00:46:15.780 whole thing
00:46:16.180 be sort of
00:46:17.760 stupid.
00:46:18.120 Now, I
00:46:19.480 get what it
00:46:19.920 means, and
00:46:20.600 in some
00:46:21.260 cases, like
00:46:22.160 the law
00:46:22.600 fair against
00:46:23.180 Trump, it
00:46:24.220 was clearly
00:46:25.200 the right
00:46:25.820 saying and
00:46:26.900 the right
00:46:27.240 idea that
00:46:28.080 they were
00:46:28.320 picking the
00:46:28.840 person, and
00:46:29.800 Letitia James
00:46:30.720 said it as
00:46:31.780 directly as
00:46:32.480 she can, that
00:46:33.800 she was going
00:46:34.420 to go after
00:46:35.040 Trump, and
00:46:35.860 she didn't
00:46:36.220 have anything
00:46:36.720 to go after
00:46:37.320 yet.
00:46:38.140 She was going
00:46:38.640 to look for
00:46:39.200 a problem.
00:46:40.320 But do you
00:46:40.860 think that's
00:46:41.380 what happened
00:46:41.820 with Bolton?
00:46:43.040 Do you really
00:46:43.900 believe that they
00:46:44.640 said, all right,
00:46:45.620 Bolton's a pain
00:46:46.400 in the ass, let's
00:46:47.820 go dig
00:46:48.340 around and
00:46:49.040 see if we
00:46:50.040 can find
00:46:50.440 something to
00:46:51.080 get him in
00:46:51.520 trouble?
00:46:52.600 Maybe.
00:46:54.080 Maybe.
00:46:55.720 But I'll
00:46:57.860 wait to see
00:46:58.520 the indictments,
00:46:59.800 or wait for
00:47:00.760 the trial, I
00:47:01.340 guess, because
00:47:02.060 we've got to
00:47:02.480 find out what
00:47:03.160 it is he's
00:47:03.660 being accused
00:47:04.380 of, and who
00:47:05.220 knew, and who
00:47:06.040 reported it, and
00:47:06.980 all that stuff.
00:47:09.660 Well, the
00:47:10.300 University of
00:47:11.080 Wisconsin Medical
00:47:12.280 School admits
00:47:14.580 black students
00:47:15.500 at six times
00:47:16.580 the rate of
00:47:17.120 Asians, according
00:47:18.120 to Liberty
00:47:18.900 University, he's
00:47:19.900 writing about
00:47:20.400 this, and
00:47:23.600 they do that
00:47:24.900 despite the
00:47:26.020 lower average
00:47:27.380 MCAT scores
00:47:28.660 for the black
00:47:29.880 applicants.
00:47:31.860 So the group
00:47:32.900 Do No Harm
00:47:33.980 did an
00:47:35.220 analysis and
00:47:36.900 said that black
00:47:37.680 applicants have
00:47:38.380 almost ten times
00:47:39.540 the odds of
00:47:40.200 admission compared
00:47:41.160 to similarly
00:47:42.040 qualified Asian
00:47:42.960 or white
00:47:43.280 applicants, sparking
00:47:46.000 concerns over
00:47:46.960 racial bias in
00:47:48.060 admission.
00:47:49.380 Concerns?
00:47:52.020 I'm starting to
00:47:53.380 think there's
00:47:53.820 some racial bias.
00:47:55.720 Huh.
00:47:56.680 I don't know.
00:47:57.820 I'm just
00:47:58.180 getting a gut
00:48:00.160 instinct.
00:48:02.120 Yeah.
00:48:02.920 I think you
00:48:04.540 could accurately
00:48:05.320 suspect there's
00:48:06.680 a little bit of
00:48:07.300 racial bias going
00:48:08.280 on.
00:48:08.500 A little bit.
00:48:09.420 Uh, and the
00:48:11.460 investigation found
00:48:12.460 that 22 under
00:48:13.660 23 public
00:48:14.740 medical schools
00:48:15.880 prioritize racial
00:48:17.640 minority applicants
00:48:18.700 over more
00:48:19.680 academically
00:48:20.340 qualified candidates.
00:48:22.560 Wow.
00:48:23.500 So your medical
00:48:26.500 schools are
00:48:27.660 rigged.
00:48:28.360 Your medical
00:48:29.180 textbooks are
00:48:30.320 more than half
00:48:31.040 wrong.
00:48:32.040 Your peer-reviewed
00:48:33.320 science is more
00:48:34.220 than half
00:48:34.880 bullshit.
00:48:37.460 Um, so I'm
00:48:38.680 afraid to go to
00:48:39.340 a doctor.
00:48:42.080 Yeah, I feel
00:48:43.060 like the older
00:48:43.860 the doctor is,
00:48:44.840 the better you
00:48:45.380 are.
00:48:46.220 And I'm not
00:48:47.120 sure that's
00:48:47.640 true.
00:48:47.900 That might work
00:48:48.800 the opposite.
00:48:50.660 All right.
00:48:52.120 Um, you
00:48:53.460 apparently, uh,
00:48:55.640 one in five
00:48:58.160 faculty jobs
00:48:59.380 for colleges,
00:49:00.220 uh, require
00:49:01.760 some kind of
00:49:02.520 DEI statement.
00:49:03.840 So even though
00:49:04.660 DEI is, you
00:49:06.180 know, federally
00:49:07.020 illegal, um,
00:49:09.600 one in five
00:49:10.380 faculty jobs
00:49:11.400 require you to
00:49:12.640 write something
00:49:13.420 about how
00:49:14.240 DEI you are,
00:49:15.340 how much you
00:49:15.840 love it, and
00:49:16.340 how much you're
00:49:16.820 going to work
00:49:17.160 toward it.
00:49:18.440 Now, I've
00:49:19.460 got, uh, a
00:49:21.280 reframe for
00:49:22.060 you.
00:49:22.560 So I
00:49:23.480 mentioned this
00:49:24.100 before, but
00:49:24.900 I've got a
00:49:25.680 better way to
00:49:26.160 say it, which
00:49:27.560 is, you
00:49:28.560 know how
00:49:29.020 there was
00:49:30.420 racism, of
00:49:31.760 course, we
00:49:32.740 all know that
00:49:33.240 racism is
00:49:35.000 real and
00:49:35.500 happened as
00:49:36.220 part of our
00:49:36.660 history, but
00:49:37.680 then we also
00:49:38.340 know that
00:49:38.960 sometime around
00:49:40.000 the late
00:49:41.280 70s, early
00:49:42.820 80s, something
00:49:44.340 called reverse
00:49:45.440 racism became
00:49:47.660 a thing.
00:49:48.140 and do
00:49:50.000 you know
00:49:50.300 that you
00:49:50.640 can't get
00:49:51.080 any sympathy
00:49:51.880 whatsoever for
00:49:52.960 reverse racism
00:49:54.360 because people
00:49:55.980 would just
00:49:56.280 say, you
00:49:56.780 can't be
00:49:57.080 racist against
00:49:57.800 white people,
00:49:59.100 you can't be
00:49:59.600 racist against
00:50:00.460 white men
00:50:01.060 especially because
00:50:01.880 they have all
00:50:02.320 the power, the
00:50:03.020 patriarchy.
00:50:04.300 So by
00:50:05.520 definition, there's
00:50:07.280 no such thing as
00:50:08.140 being racist against
00:50:09.240 white men.
00:50:10.600 So that's what
00:50:11.380 would happen if
00:50:12.000 you say, it's
00:50:12.940 reverse racism,
00:50:14.480 it's reverse,
00:50:15.800 doesn't work,
00:50:16.940 doesn't leave a
00:50:17.560 mark.
00:50:18.800 But if you
00:50:20.220 agree that
00:50:22.000 systemic racism
00:50:23.400 is real, and
00:50:24.560 I do, it
00:50:26.480 does seem like
00:50:27.160 there's sort of
00:50:28.960 a ripple effect
00:50:29.760 from slavery
00:50:30.640 that is very
00:50:31.980 real in the
00:50:32.520 United States.
00:50:33.240 And I don't
00:50:34.080 think that your
00:50:35.140 argument has
00:50:35.900 helped by
00:50:37.120 denying it and
00:50:38.120 saying things
00:50:38.720 like, well,
00:50:39.280 name a law
00:50:40.080 where there's
00:50:42.100 some disadvantage
00:50:42.840 to blacks.
00:50:43.540 It's not about
00:50:44.500 the law, it's
00:50:45.960 about what
00:50:46.500 is sort of
00:50:47.380 just absorbed
00:50:48.660 into the
00:50:49.440 nature of
00:50:50.820 things.
00:50:52.020 Specifically,
00:50:53.500 if you
00:50:54.640 started, you
00:50:55.940 know, behind
00:50:56.500 economically, it
00:50:57.980 would be hard
00:50:58.320 to catch up.
00:51:00.120 So there
00:51:00.720 really is
00:51:01.560 systemic racism,
00:51:03.340 just not in
00:51:04.140 the law.
00:51:04.720 The law
00:51:05.120 doesn't do
00:51:05.700 it.
00:51:06.620 But the
00:51:08.380 example I
00:51:09.280 like to use
00:51:09.900 is if you
00:51:12.560 were born
00:51:12.960 into a
00:51:13.380 family that
00:51:14.560 has been
00:51:14.880 doing well
00:51:15.580 for 100
00:51:16.100 years,
00:51:16.840 your grandfather
00:51:17.800 and your
00:51:18.260 grandfather's
00:51:18.880 grandfather and
00:51:19.620 they all went
00:51:20.020 to college and
00:51:20.640 stuff, you're
00:51:21.860 going to have a
00:51:22.460 lot of people to
00:51:23.500 help you.
00:51:25.000 You'll have
00:51:25.540 funding if you
00:51:26.880 need it to start
00:51:27.700 a business,
00:51:28.520 you'll have your
00:51:29.900 odds of going to
00:51:30.640 college are very
00:51:31.380 high.
00:51:32.360 So to me,
00:51:33.160 that's a little
00:51:34.720 bit of systemic
00:51:35.520 racism.
00:51:36.560 But here's what I
00:51:37.880 suggest.
00:51:38.880 Instead of saying
00:51:39.840 reverse racism,
00:51:41.940 because that
00:51:43.320 just doesn't
00:51:43.840 work for
00:51:44.280 anybody,
00:51:44.800 just say it's
00:51:45.380 systemic.
00:51:47.160 DEI is
00:51:48.580 systemic racism.
00:51:50.400 So every time
00:51:51.180 somebody says,
00:51:52.140 but what about
00:51:53.240 all the systemic
00:51:54.180 racism?
00:51:55.220 You could say,
00:51:56.900 yeah, there's a
00:51:57.500 ton of it.
00:51:59.500 Black people
00:52:00.360 have the
00:52:01.160 legacy of
00:52:01.800 slavery and
00:52:02.460 white people
00:52:03.020 have DEI.
00:52:04.860 And they're
00:52:05.520 both systemic
00:52:06.620 racism and we
00:52:07.700 should get rid
00:52:09.020 of both of
00:52:09.500 them if we
00:52:09.900 can.
00:52:11.940 Anyway,
00:52:12.980 NVIDIA's CEO
00:52:14.060 says he's in
00:52:15.080 talks with the
00:52:16.860 Trump people
00:52:17.760 about making a
00:52:19.040 special chip,
00:52:20.600 an AI chip,
00:52:21.580 just to sell to
00:52:22.400 China that would
00:52:23.620 be way less good
00:52:24.820 than the AI chips
00:52:25.980 we would use
00:52:26.740 here and with
00:52:28.440 our allies,
00:52:29.100 I guess.
00:52:30.020 So that's not a
00:52:31.200 done deal,
00:52:31.940 but they're talking
00:52:32.760 about making some
00:52:33.720 B30A chip and
00:52:37.320 we'd give China
00:52:38.320 the bad ones.
00:52:39.020 It seems to
00:52:40.240 me that we
00:52:42.120 would be really
00:52:42.900 lighting a fire
00:52:43.720 under China to
00:52:45.020 either take over
00:52:46.620 Taiwan or
00:52:47.520 somehow start
00:52:48.600 their own
00:52:49.220 successful
00:52:50.860 microchip business.
00:52:52.060 I'm surprised
00:52:52.540 they don't already
00:52:53.180 have that.
00:52:54.880 But we'll see
00:52:57.240 if there's an
00:52:57.780 unintended
00:52:58.180 consequence of
00:52:59.260 that.
00:53:01.360 Well,
00:53:01.800 Coinbase,
00:53:02.660 the company
00:53:03.120 Coinbase,
00:53:03.880 the CEO
00:53:05.320 says that
00:53:06.160 he's fired
00:53:07.580 engineers for
00:53:09.200 refusing to
00:53:10.060 use AI.
00:53:12.540 So he
00:53:13.780 wants the
00:53:15.240 company to
00:53:15.800 go AI
00:53:17.100 so hard
00:53:17.940 that some
00:53:19.140 of the
00:53:19.640 engineers who
00:53:20.980 refused it
00:53:22.460 and maybe
00:53:23.060 didn't see the
00:53:23.700 value in it
00:53:24.380 yet just got
00:53:25.520 fired.
00:53:27.320 So that's
00:53:28.860 happening.
00:53:29.160 I would love
00:53:30.120 to know the
00:53:30.860 argument from
00:53:31.880 those engineers.
00:53:32.760 engineers.
00:53:33.440 My guess is
00:53:34.900 that they just
00:53:36.080 believe that AI
00:53:37.020 is not ready
00:53:37.800 and so they
00:53:39.320 didn't want to
00:53:40.200 waste their
00:53:41.540 life working on
00:53:42.500 a thing that
00:53:43.020 wouldn't ever
00:53:43.540 work either
00:53:44.940 because of
00:53:45.480 hallucinations or
00:53:46.640 one thing or
00:53:47.620 other.
00:53:48.520 So I don't
00:53:48.920 know.
00:53:49.600 If they're not
00:53:50.200 using it for
00:53:50.920 coding, that
00:53:52.100 seems like
00:53:52.600 obviously there's
00:53:53.500 a mistake.
00:53:54.220 They should be.
00:53:55.480 But probably
00:53:56.040 they had other
00:53:56.620 concerns besides
00:53:57.700 coding.
00:54:00.260 Well,
00:54:00.840 according to
00:54:01.760 Cheng Zhu
00:54:02.760 who's writing
00:54:03.460 that robots
00:54:04.660 can now
00:54:05.180 learn to
00:54:05.720 use tools
00:54:06.620 just by
00:54:07.780 watching
00:54:08.460 somebody use
00:54:10.820 the tool.
00:54:11.960 Now, of course,
00:54:12.500 that's the
00:54:12.960 holy grail of
00:54:14.060 robots and is
00:54:15.280 not yet
00:54:15.840 available,
00:54:16.660 but it is
00:54:17.480 one more
00:54:18.200 hint that
00:54:19.640 maybe robots
00:54:20.520 will be doing
00:54:21.060 all your
00:54:21.440 chores for you.
00:54:22.940 But I
00:54:23.800 guess what's
00:54:24.980 different about
00:54:25.620 this is that
00:54:27.080 they found
00:54:27.640 that if the
00:54:28.560 robot watches
00:54:29.360 a person
00:54:30.400 do a task,
00:54:31.760 let's say
00:54:32.120 folding laundry,
00:54:33.680 the robot,
00:54:34.480 for whatever
00:54:34.840 reason,
00:54:35.440 with AI,
00:54:36.820 can't learn
00:54:37.480 to do it
00:54:38.060 just by
00:54:38.580 watching a
00:54:39.100 human do
00:54:39.560 it.
00:54:40.460 But they
00:54:41.460 determined
00:54:41.940 that if you
00:54:42.700 remove the
00:54:43.420 human from
00:54:44.880 the video
00:54:45.500 and you just
00:54:46.640 show the
00:54:47.060 tools by
00:54:48.080 themselves,
00:54:49.320 doing the
00:54:49.920 thing that
00:54:50.280 the tool
00:54:50.660 does,
00:54:51.600 whether it's
00:54:52.360 a hammer
00:54:53.240 hitting a nail
00:54:54.880 or some
00:54:55.880 other tool
00:54:56.600 doing something,
00:54:57.220 that the
00:54:58.040 robot and
00:54:58.820 the AI
00:54:59.220 can somehow
00:55:00.220 more easily
00:55:01.480 learn how
00:55:02.240 to use the
00:55:02.980 tool if
00:55:04.240 they've seen
00:55:04.740 the tool
00:55:05.280 separated from
00:55:06.160 the human.
00:55:07.700 Because I
00:55:08.360 guess there's
00:55:09.980 too much
00:55:10.340 variability in
00:55:11.340 the human
00:55:11.880 part.
00:55:13.080 They wouldn't
00:55:13.400 know what
00:55:13.700 to copy.
00:55:14.820 But if it's
00:55:15.260 just the
00:55:15.620 tool,
00:55:16.700 it's just a
00:55:17.260 hammer hitting
00:55:17.860 a nail,
00:55:18.480 that's my
00:55:18.940 own example,
00:55:20.140 then they'd
00:55:20.560 say,
00:55:20.780 oh,
00:55:21.540 I need to
00:55:22.040 use that
00:55:22.460 thing to
00:55:22.800 hit that
00:55:23.140 thing.
00:55:23.760 And then
00:55:24.020 it's easier
00:55:24.480 for them to
00:55:24.980 learn.
00:55:25.680 Now,
00:55:25.960 I'm doing a
00:55:26.340 bad job of
00:55:26.900 explaining it.
00:55:28.220 But there
00:55:28.880 is the
00:55:29.240 belief that
00:55:29.820 they may
00:55:30.160 have cracked
00:55:30.900 the toughest
00:55:33.160 part about
00:55:33.860 making robots
00:55:34.740 useful,
00:55:35.680 which is how
00:55:36.220 the heck do
00:55:36.660 you train
00:55:37.040 them to do
00:55:37.540 more than
00:55:37.880 one thing?
00:55:38.640 I always
00:55:39.140 tease that
00:55:40.680 for 20
00:55:41.360 years we've
00:55:42.420 been seeing
00:55:42.960 excited videos
00:55:45.700 about robots
00:55:46.500 that can
00:55:47.180 carry a box
00:55:47.960 from one
00:55:48.480 shelf to
00:55:48.880 another
00:55:49.160 shelf.
00:55:50.940 I believe
00:55:51.820 it was
00:55:52.760 25 years
00:55:55.560 ago at
00:55:56.720 least when
00:55:58.000 I saw
00:55:58.380 a TV
00:55:59.720 show about
00:56:00.380 a robot
00:56:00.940 that could
00:56:01.560 fold laundry.
00:56:03.400 And the
00:56:03.600 idea was
00:56:04.280 that they
00:56:04.560 had cracked
00:56:05.280 laundry
00:56:06.540 folding so
00:56:07.940 that forever
00:56:08.600 more,
00:56:09.520 25 years
00:56:10.420 ago,
00:56:11.760 that forever
00:56:12.320 more after
00:56:13.060 that we'd
00:56:14.800 have robots
00:56:15.460 doing our
00:56:16.100 laundry.
00:56:17.140 Well,
00:56:17.580 you don't
00:56:18.040 have a robot
00:56:18.840 doing your
00:56:19.380 laundry,
00:56:19.800 do you?
00:56:20.120 So 25
00:56:21.540 years ago
00:56:22.320 they thought
00:56:22.780 they had
00:56:23.120 cracked this
00:56:23.880 thing,
00:56:24.740 how to
00:56:25.020 teach you
00:56:25.500 how to
00:56:25.760 do stuff
00:56:26.220 like fold
00:56:26.800 laundry.
00:56:27.600 Not even
00:56:28.060 close.
00:56:29.680 And in
00:56:30.960 my opinion,
00:56:32.000 even when I
00:56:32.640 watched the
00:56:33.140 robots demonstrate
00:56:34.340 folding laundry,
00:56:35.900 I'm pretty
00:56:36.500 sure that it
00:56:37.320 can't fold
00:56:37.980 all kinds
00:56:38.700 of laundry.
00:56:40.200 Like I
00:56:40.620 don't know
00:56:40.880 what it's
00:56:41.140 going to do
00:56:41.520 with the
00:56:41.880 fitted sheets.
00:56:43.500 Good luck
00:56:44.080 with that.
00:56:45.820 But usually
00:56:46.700 the only thing
00:56:47.380 they fold
00:56:47.900 is a shirt.
00:56:48.560 So I
00:56:50.180 feel like
00:56:50.700 it can
00:56:51.780 usually
00:56:52.360 fold a
00:56:52.980 shirt.
00:56:54.180 That's about
00:56:54.940 it.
00:56:55.680 It can
00:56:56.060 usually
00:56:56.560 fold a
00:56:57.200 shirt.
00:56:58.800 How often
00:56:59.560 do you
00:56:59.880 fold a
00:57:00.340 shirt versus
00:57:01.040 put it on
00:57:01.700 a hanger?
00:57:04.080 I don't
00:57:04.720 have any
00:57:05.140 folded shirts.
00:57:06.900 Do you
00:57:07.120 have any
00:57:07.480 folded shirts?
00:57:08.920 The only
00:57:09.340 time I
00:57:09.760 would fold
00:57:10.280 a shirt
00:57:10.700 is for
00:57:11.360 packing it
00:57:12.020 in luggage.
00:57:13.560 Otherwise
00:57:14.040 it's just
00:57:14.640 hanging on
00:57:15.080 a hanger.
00:57:16.800 Anyway,
00:57:17.280 unless you
00:57:19.500 have lots
00:57:20.000 more shirts
00:57:20.700 than I
00:57:21.060 have.
00:57:22.820 So here's
00:57:23.900 an interesting
00:57:24.380 story that
00:57:25.120 John Solomon
00:57:25.900 reports.
00:57:28.920 So John
00:57:30.380 Solomon
00:57:30.780 found out
00:57:33.080 in 2017
00:57:34.180 that he
00:57:35.140 was on
00:57:35.700 to a
00:57:36.060 bigger story
00:57:36.760 than he
00:57:37.140 thought
00:57:37.500 because that
00:57:38.140 was the
00:57:38.560 very beginning
00:57:39.640 of the
00:57:40.100 Russiagate
00:57:40.860 stuff.
00:57:41.800 So I
00:57:42.080 guess he
00:57:42.380 had an
00:57:43.120 interview
00:57:43.460 with
00:57:43.940 Jan
00:57:45.160 Jekielek
00:57:46.460 of the
00:57:47.240 Epoch
00:57:47.700 Times.
00:57:49.060 And this
00:57:50.320 is what
00:57:50.800 John Solomon
00:57:51.720 reported.
00:57:54.820 This is
00:57:55.620 just mind
00:57:56.080 blowing that
00:57:57.400 this really
00:57:58.000 happened.
00:57:58.820 This sounds
00:57:59.340 so much
00:57:59.720 like a
00:58:00.180 TV show,
00:58:01.260 but this
00:58:01.540 really
00:58:01.760 happened.
00:58:02.760 So
00:58:02.880 apparently
00:58:03.220 John
00:58:03.760 Solomon
00:58:04.060 had just
00:58:04.500 gone on
00:58:04.900 Fox
00:58:05.320 News
00:58:05.900 with a
00:58:07.140 story about
00:58:08.420 all the
00:58:08.820 people who
00:58:09.280 were being
00:58:09.660 quote
00:58:10.060 unmasked
00:58:11.600 so that
00:58:14.540 the government
00:58:15.260 could spy
00:58:15.900 on them.
00:58:18.180 And that
00:58:19.100 a lot of
00:58:19.540 them were
00:58:19.820 American
00:58:20.260 citizens and
00:58:21.900 their private
00:58:22.480 communications.
00:58:23.720 So that
00:58:24.180 was the
00:58:24.540 story,
00:58:25.140 that the
00:58:25.500 government
00:58:25.860 was spying
00:58:27.400 on Americans
00:58:28.060 with very
00:58:29.760 thin reasons
00:58:31.100 that I
00:58:32.220 think they
00:58:32.800 would use
00:58:33.200 as an
00:58:33.540 excuse
00:58:34.120 that that
00:58:35.360 American
00:58:35.920 had talked
00:58:36.520 to somebody
00:58:37.040 from another
00:58:37.680 country.
00:58:38.160 or somebody
00:58:40.820 who was
00:58:41.120 suspicious.
00:58:42.680 And that
00:58:43.300 would give
00:58:43.840 them enough.
00:58:44.700 So that
00:58:44.940 was the
00:58:45.300 story.
00:58:46.200 So that's
00:58:46.560 all he
00:58:46.860 had.
00:58:48.560 And then
00:58:48.920 senior
00:58:51.480 FBI and
00:58:52.400 Department
00:58:52.860 of Justice
00:58:53.320 officials
00:58:53.980 had told
00:58:54.940 John
00:58:55.240 Solomon,
00:58:55.940 don't waste
00:58:56.880 your time
00:58:57.440 on Russia
00:58:58.180 collusion.
00:58:59.460 So he'd
00:58:59.900 been warned
00:59:00.380 away from
00:59:00.840 the story.
00:59:02.500 And then
00:59:02.720 he says,
00:59:03.420 late that
00:59:04.040 night,
00:59:04.700 he pulled
00:59:05.140 into his
00:59:05.660 driveway.
00:59:07.040 Here's
00:59:07.400 where it
00:59:07.740 gets
00:59:07.960 creepy.
00:59:09.480 And a
00:59:10.120 blue sedan
00:59:10.760 with the
00:59:11.120 yellow fog
00:59:11.740 lights sat
00:59:12.440 waiting by
00:59:13.000 his mailbox.
00:59:18.180 And then
00:59:18.940 two men
00:59:19.580 stepped out.
00:59:21.280 And they
00:59:22.000 said to
00:59:22.600 John Solomon,
00:59:23.500 we can't
00:59:24.040 tell you
00:59:24.420 who we
00:59:24.840 are,
00:59:25.600 but you're
00:59:26.060 at the
00:59:26.420 tip of
00:59:26.940 a very
00:59:27.380 large
00:59:27.840 iceberg,
00:59:28.700 and we
00:59:29.040 hope you
00:59:29.440 drill into
00:59:30.060 it.
00:59:31.020 And Solomon
00:59:31.680 said,
00:59:32.100 what in
00:59:32.360 God's name
00:59:32.860 are you
00:59:33.080 guys
00:59:33.320 talking
00:59:33.680 about?
00:59:34.760 And then
00:59:35.080 one of
00:59:35.420 them said,
00:59:35.660 well,
00:59:36.280 that thing
00:59:36.900 you were
00:59:37.220 reporting
00:59:37.640 on
00:59:37.880 television.
00:59:39.320 And he
00:59:39.680 said,
00:59:39.940 yeah,
00:59:40.220 that's
00:59:40.520 FISA
00:59:41.160 court
00:59:41.720 ruling,
00:59:42.360 or filing,
00:59:43.060 FISA
00:59:43.360 court
00:59:43.680 filing.
00:59:45.620 And one
00:59:46.280 of the
00:59:46.540 gentlemen
00:59:46.840 said,
00:59:47.420 it is
00:59:47.860 the apex
00:59:48.520 of a
00:59:48.940 very
00:59:49.200 large
00:59:49.700 scandal,
00:59:50.740 and you
00:59:51.000 need to
00:59:51.380 drill down
00:59:52.060 in it.
00:59:53.540 And they
00:59:54.140 said,
00:59:54.460 walk me
00:59:55.220 through this
00:59:55.700 guys.
00:59:56.140 And they
00:59:56.640 said,
00:59:56.940 we can't
00:59:57.400 tell you,
00:59:57.760 it's all
00:59:58.020 classified.
00:59:59.960 And he
01:00:00.400 said,
01:00:00.620 all right,
01:00:00.860 that's not
01:00:01.220 very helpful.
01:00:02.140 Can you
01:00:02.400 give me
01:00:02.720 something,
01:00:03.720 you know,
01:00:03.940 more generic
01:00:04.560 description?
01:00:05.720 And they
01:00:06.180 said,
01:00:06.400 yeah,
01:00:06.580 we work
01:00:07.000 in the
01:00:07.300 intelligence
01:00:07.740 community,
01:00:08.520 and our
01:00:09.140 agencies
01:00:09.620 were asked
01:00:10.220 to participate
01:00:10.880 in one
01:00:11.320 of the
01:00:11.560 greatest
01:00:11.920 political
01:00:12.580 dirty
01:00:13.020 tricks
01:00:13.420 in
01:00:13.620 history.
01:00:14.060 And if
01:00:18.060 it isn't
01:00:18.500 stopped,
01:00:19.620 and one
01:00:20.340 day,
01:00:20.720 when it
01:00:21.220 is uncovered,
01:00:22.240 we will
01:00:22.840 lose the
01:00:23.460 tools that
01:00:24.180 keep you
01:00:24.660 and I
01:00:24.960 safe at
01:00:25.500 night.
01:00:26.180 We won't
01:00:26.860 be able to
01:00:27.280 find terrorists
01:00:27.920 and we
01:00:28.320 won't find
01:00:28.800 spies because
01:00:29.520 these tools
01:00:30.260 will be
01:00:30.560 taken from
01:00:31.140 us because
01:00:31.960 we abused
01:00:32.760 them in the
01:00:33.240 last couple
01:00:33.760 of years.
01:00:35.240 So I
01:00:36.180 guess they
01:00:36.760 knew maybe
01:00:37.520 about the
01:00:38.880 Russian
01:00:39.120 collusion
01:00:39.700 hoax.
01:00:42.440 So that's
01:00:43.620 that is
01:00:45.120 so much
01:00:45.920 like what
01:00:47.480 the movie
01:00:47.980 would look
01:00:48.400 like.
01:00:49.960 Can't you
01:00:50.460 already see
01:00:51.300 Trump the
01:00:52.220 movie?
01:00:53.360 And maybe
01:00:53.680 it's like
01:00:54.240 a three-part
01:00:55.940 miniseries or
01:00:56.960 something.
01:00:57.740 But there
01:00:58.560 are so many
01:00:59.160 little scenes
01:01:00.200 that would be
01:01:02.000 amazing scenes.
01:01:03.380 Like one of
01:01:03.940 the scenes
01:01:04.380 would be
01:01:05.340 Ann Coulter
01:01:06.420 on real
01:01:07.460 time predicting
01:01:08.820 that Trump
01:01:09.420 would win.
01:01:10.220 I mean,
01:01:10.440 obviously that
01:01:11.280 scene would
01:01:11.900 be in the
01:01:12.260 movie.
01:01:12.520 and then
01:01:14.380 all the
01:01:14.880 lawfare.
01:01:16.940 Oh, my
01:01:17.320 God.
01:01:17.680 The Trump
01:01:18.360 the movie
01:01:18.940 would just
01:01:20.500 be freaking
01:01:21.260 amazing.
01:01:22.640 Just amazing.
01:01:28.120 All right.
01:01:28.940 Let's get
01:01:29.360 that one.
01:01:32.540 According to
01:01:33.340 the American
01:01:34.080 Sociological
01:01:35.240 Association,
01:01:37.860 there was a
01:01:38.680 study that
01:01:39.160 finds that
01:01:39.640 right-wing
01:01:40.100 media operates
01:01:41.080 more like a
01:01:41.780 religion.
01:01:43.320 All right.
01:01:43.880 Now, I'm
01:01:44.440 not even
01:01:44.760 going to get
01:01:45.120 into the
01:01:45.500 details of
01:01:46.360 why they
01:01:46.800 say that
01:01:47.380 a right-wing
01:01:48.420 news operates
01:01:49.700 more like a
01:01:50.760 religion.
01:01:51.940 I'm just
01:01:52.700 going to give
01:01:53.160 you a couple
01:01:54.740 of rules that
01:01:55.740 I use in
01:01:56.440 life.
01:01:57.540 One of them
01:01:58.060 is there
01:02:00.360 are two
01:02:01.240 opinions that
01:02:02.420 you can safely
01:02:03.360 ignore every
01:02:04.380 time.
01:02:05.460 One of them
01:02:06.300 is that thing
01:02:07.640 I don't like
01:02:08.380 is like a
01:02:09.100 cult.
01:02:09.420 doesn't even
01:02:11.220 matter what
01:02:11.700 the thing
01:02:12.080 is.
01:02:13.000 Just ignore
01:02:14.040 that.
01:02:15.580 No, it's
01:02:16.040 not like, it's
01:02:16.800 not a cult.
01:02:19.020 It might have
01:02:19.800 like a couple
01:02:20.500 things that
01:02:21.140 remind you,
01:02:22.340 but no,
01:02:23.640 it's never a
01:02:24.500 cult.
01:02:25.420 And certainly
01:02:26.080 MAGA is not
01:02:26.880 a cult.
01:02:27.880 People can
01:02:28.500 come and go.
01:02:29.460 They have
01:02:29.720 access to all
01:02:30.640 the information
01:02:31.340 everywhere.
01:02:33.400 You know,
01:02:33.580 nobody, nobody's
01:02:34.820 being asked to
01:02:35.560 give up their
01:02:36.120 life.
01:02:37.580 None of
01:02:38.280 it.
01:02:39.220 You know, to
01:02:39.960 imagine that
01:02:40.800 that's a cult
01:02:41.620 when in fact
01:02:43.000 it's just a
01:02:43.720 common interest
01:02:44.600 and people
01:02:45.200 having fun,
01:02:46.680 it's just so
01:02:48.140 far off.
01:02:49.060 And I've
01:02:49.360 never seen
01:02:50.140 anything called
01:02:51.600 a cult that
01:02:53.980 really fit,
01:02:55.660 unless it was,
01:02:56.540 you know,
01:02:56.860 actual, they're
01:02:57.600 wearing robes
01:02:58.520 and, you
01:02:59.440 know, they're
01:03:00.160 committing mass
01:03:01.220 suicide or
01:03:01.820 something.
01:03:02.140 Those are
01:03:02.480 cults.
01:03:03.180 But when
01:03:04.280 you're calling
01:03:05.120 some political
01:03:05.940 thing a cult,
01:03:07.280 never.
01:03:08.200 Yeah, it
01:03:08.620 never fits.
01:03:09.520 In the same
01:03:10.000 way that it's
01:03:10.460 a religion.
01:03:12.120 I guess that's
01:03:13.020 just a nicer
01:03:13.620 way to say
01:03:14.240 cult.
01:03:15.280 But no,
01:03:16.520 it's not like
01:03:17.180 a religion.
01:03:18.320 It's not.
01:03:19.380 Whatever that
01:03:20.200 thing is that
01:03:20.900 you said is
01:03:21.540 like a religion,
01:03:22.640 I guarantee
01:03:23.360 you, without
01:03:24.180 even knowing
01:03:24.840 what the thing
01:03:25.540 is, it's
01:03:26.580 not like a
01:03:27.140 religion.
01:03:27.980 It's not
01:03:28.440 like a cult.
01:03:29.560 These are
01:03:29.960 just dumb
01:03:30.640 things to
01:03:31.280 say that
01:03:32.420 people who
01:03:33.220 write articles
01:03:33.900 like to
01:03:34.460 say.
01:03:35.960 Well,
01:03:36.320 meanwhile, in
01:03:36.980 Mexico, the
01:03:37.720 Mexican president
01:03:38.920 has rejected
01:03:40.180 the praise
01:03:41.840 that she's
01:03:42.300 getting for
01:03:42.840 all of her
01:03:43.280 great cooperation
01:03:44.220 with our
01:03:44.940 American
01:03:45.540 DEA,
01:03:47.140 according to
01:03:47.920 Breitbart
01:03:48.880 News.
01:03:50.820 Defenso
01:03:51.540 Ortiz and
01:03:52.280 Brandon Darby
01:03:53.200 are talking
01:03:53.580 about this.
01:03:55.820 So the
01:03:56.240 Mexican
01:03:56.560 president,
01:03:57.320 that's
01:03:57.580 Claudia
01:03:58.660 Scheinbaum,
01:04:00.220 says that
01:04:00.960 they're not
01:04:01.360 doing anything
01:04:02.240 beyond what
01:04:02.960 they've
01:04:03.440 always done,
01:04:04.540 which is
01:04:04.980 that they're
01:04:05.420 always
01:04:05.780 cooperative
01:04:06.320 with the
01:04:06.820 U.S.
01:04:07.780 and the
01:04:08.340 cartel
01:04:08.820 stuff.
01:04:09.920 Now, I
01:04:10.380 don't know
01:04:10.600 what's
01:04:10.820 true.
01:04:12.220 This is
01:04:12.700 another one
01:04:13.200 of those
01:04:13.560 where you
01:04:13.920 can't trust
01:04:14.700 the reporting
01:04:15.280 and you
01:04:15.680 certainly
01:04:16.060 can't trust
01:04:16.700 the president
01:04:17.780 of Mexico
01:04:18.380 to tell you
01:04:18.940 the truth.
01:04:19.880 So one
01:04:20.560 of two
01:04:20.900 things is
01:04:21.480 true.
01:04:22.600 Either
01:04:23.080 Mexico is
01:04:24.200 helping a
01:04:24.700 lot more
01:04:25.020 than they
01:04:25.400 used to,
01:04:26.300 or they're
01:04:26.700 not.
01:04:28.340 Even the
01:04:29.500 simplest things
01:04:30.540 in the
01:04:30.920 news,
01:04:31.940 you never
01:04:32.360 really know.
01:04:33.720 It's either
01:04:34.320 yes or
01:04:35.460 no.
01:04:36.720 It's one
01:04:37.420 of those
01:04:37.720 things.
01:04:38.860 And we're
01:04:39.400 either
01:04:39.780 attacking
01:04:41.080 Russia's
01:04:41.800 infrastructure
01:04:42.440 or we're
01:04:43.340 not.
01:04:45.860 Yeah, we're
01:04:46.620 a cult.
01:04:47.880 That's right,
01:04:48.460 we're a cult.
01:04:49.960 The good
01:04:50.500 kind.
01:04:53.260 All right,
01:04:53.940 ladies and
01:04:54.360 gentlemen,
01:04:54.700 that's all I
01:04:55.260 had today.
01:04:55.780 it's a
01:04:57.620 wonderful
01:04:58.060 Sunday.
01:04:58.960 I don't
01:04:59.300 know where
01:04:59.740 your
01:05:00.720 weather's
01:05:01.300 at, but
01:05:01.820 ours is
01:05:02.360 sunny and
01:05:03.160 perfect.
01:05:04.180 Today is
01:05:04.720 going to be
01:05:05.060 amazing.
01:05:06.300 You're going
01:05:06.620 to have the
01:05:06.980 best time
01:05:07.480 today.
01:05:08.880 And so
01:05:11.260 far, I've
01:05:12.060 not had a
01:05:12.720 stomach ache
01:05:13.260 all morning,
01:05:14.100 so that's
01:05:14.540 kind of
01:05:14.840 weird.
01:05:16.400 Good news
01:05:17.140 for me,
01:05:17.500 I guess.
01:05:19.700 All right,
01:05:20.520 I'm going to
01:05:21.300 talk privately
01:05:22.420 to the
01:05:23.160 subscribers
01:05:24.120 on Locals,
01:05:25.200 my beloved

01:05:42.620 private.
01:05:55.200 and
01:05:56.600 continue
01:05:57.480 on minus
01:05:59.140 ten
01:05:59.960 videos until

01:06:07.360 then
01:06:08.760 will be
