Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2976 CWSA 10⧸02⧸25

00:00:00.760 Just in time, we've got a podcast, we're getting ready here, but first I thought I would check

00:00:07.680 my stocks because several months ago, well actually it was during the bottom of the pandemic,

00:00:15.700 I did something I don't usually do, and I advise against it actually, but I did it.

00:00:21.840 I put an unusually large amount of investment in one company, and I don't recommend that.

00:00:27.840 It's a bad idea, but let me check on it to see how it was.

00:00:32.720 The company was called, you've heard of it, it's called Tesla.

00:00:37.280 Oh, up 100%.

00:00:40.640 How's the rest of your stocks doing?

00:00:47.000 SPY up a little bit.

00:00:48.780 All right, so the general market's up a little bit.

00:00:50.760 That's looking good.

00:00:52.840 Let me get your comments working here, and then we've got a show to do that you're going 1.00

00:00:57.860 to love.

00:01:00.660 Trust me, you'll love it.

00:01:02.840 You'll love it.

00:01:05.760 Do, do, do, do, do, do.

00:01:08.720 Do, do, do, do, do, do.

00:01:10.980 Brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum, brum.

00:01:13.320 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:01:19.400 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time, but if you'd

00:01:24.260 like to take a chance on elevating your experience this morning to levels that nobody can even

00:01:29.420 understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or

00:01:34.620 a glass of tank or shells to sign a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it

00:01:39.440 with your favorite liquid, I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:45.300 the dopamine to the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called the

00:01:49.760 simultaneous sip, and it goes like this.

00:01:57.080 Ah, well, you want to hear about the weirdest thing ever?

00:02:01.920 Are you ready for this?

00:02:02.780 Do you remember that at the beginning of yesterday's show, I decided to be a little

00:02:08.700 bit vulnerable and opened up my test results for my testosterone levels, which is important

00:02:15.860 to see that they're as low as possible for cancer reasons.

00:02:20.900 You don't want high testosterone if you have cancer, because the cancer just eats the testosterone.

00:02:26.420 So you want to lower your testosterone, depending on, I suppose, which cancer you have.

00:02:30.620 But for mine, I wanted as close to zero as possible.

00:02:34.880 And do you remember that I opened up the test results, while I was looking at it, I basically

00:02:40.940 read it to you, and I could see that it had jumped up to the middle of the range, which

00:02:48.020 would mean that the meds weren't working and I was basically going to die faster than I

00:02:56.960 was hoping.

00:02:57.320 Now, how many of you saw me do that live?

00:03:01.880 I'm not imagining that, right?

00:03:03.480 I did that live right in front of you, and I was looking at it, and I was just reading

00:03:08.520 it, right?

00:03:10.020 Here's the fun part.

00:03:11.940 That doesn't exist.

00:03:14.380 That test that I looked at in detail, and I had an opinion, and it changed my whole day,

00:03:22.500 that doesn't exist, because when I talked to my doctor by Zoom later that same day, he

00:03:30.700 said, you know, no, your testosterone's effectively zero.

00:03:34.980 The meds are working, you know, the way they were supposed to.

00:03:38.360 And I said, no, they're not.

00:03:40.100 I mean, I looked at it myself.

00:03:41.580 So I called it up, and it was not only were the numbers completely different, but even

00:03:47.860 the presentation of the graph wasn't the same.

00:03:52.080 So what happened?

00:03:54.200 Did I hallucinate while I was completely awake and talking to you on live stream?

00:04:01.140 Did I literally just hallucinate what I saw?

00:04:03.580 I don't know.

00:04:05.620 Or was it some kind of preliminary number, because the number was just coming in?

00:04:12.440 And did they update it?

00:04:15.300 Maybe from the old number to the new number or something?

00:04:19.580 I don't know.

00:04:20.600 But the good news and the bad news is that the meds were doing exactly what they were supposed

00:04:27.820 to do, to lower my testosterone to what they consider full castration levels.

00:04:34.120 However, the bad news is, since my PSA spiked, it means the meds are doing what they were supposed

00:04:41.720 to do, but my cancer's already figured out a workaround.

00:04:46.520 So it's essentially producing, probably producing something that doesn't measure as testosterone,

00:04:55.020 but has a similar impact.

00:04:56.740 So according to Grok, who I'm not sure I should believe in these situations, I'm pretty much

00:05:03.340 dead unless we figure out a new solution.

00:05:05.920 So I don't have a solution at the moment, but I also don't know how bad it is.

00:05:10.760 So that's why I get to get scanned.

00:05:13.220 Once I get scanned, then you'll actually see, did anything get worse?

00:05:17.560 If nothing got worse, then I'm fine.

00:05:19.120 But if I'm suddenly filled with extra tumors, which I might be, it means we don't have a

00:05:27.820 solution.

00:05:28.400 But there are some options.

00:05:30.780 So I'll keep you filled in.

00:05:33.320 You want some good news?

00:05:35.360 You ready for some good news?

00:05:36.920 Cambridge, I guess Cambridge, one of their science-y parts of their university, figured out how to

00:05:49.520 make an organic solar panel.

00:05:53.400 So they use some exotic organic material.

00:05:56.240 And here's how efficient it is.

00:06:00.500 It's nearly one-to-one.

00:06:02.840 You know how if you shine sunlight on a regular solar panel?

00:06:06.840 And it used to be they could get, you know, they could convert 10% of the light to energy.

00:06:11.720 And they get better and better.

00:06:13.180 It was like, oh, 20%.

00:06:14.460 Now, I think the best ones, correct me if I'm wrong, are maybe approaching 30% conversion

00:06:21.400 to energy.

00:06:22.380 These organic ones are close to 100%, which means you could put organic panels.

00:06:29.420 I'm making this part up, but, you know, just to tell you how unlikely it is.

00:06:35.460 It means that if you put these panels around the walls of your room and then you turned on

00:06:40.840 the lights, the lights would create enough energy to power the lights.

00:06:47.640 Not 100%, but it might be like 98% of all the energy you need to power the lights.

00:06:53.640 Maybe.

00:06:54.680 Now, all of these solar breakthroughs, because it seems like there's one every day, but

00:07:00.560 you're not going to see them on the market.

00:07:03.040 This is probably five to 10 years away, if they can do it at all, you know, because it's

00:07:09.120 tough to manufacture these exotic things.

00:07:12.200 It would take years to figure out how to make a factory, to make it.

00:07:16.000 You'd have to test it to see if it lasts as long and it's economical.

00:07:20.580 So it would take forever to actually reach the market.

00:07:23.340 But imagine if it worked and solar panels could get to something like unity, I think they call

00:07:31.160 it, where it just captures all the energy.

00:07:35.280 We might get there.

00:07:36.280 So that's maybe good news.

00:07:39.340 And my question is, which of the climate models has modeled that in five to 10 years, solar

00:07:46.580 panels will be nearly 100% efficient and easier to make?

00:07:50.900 Because there would be no exotic materials.

00:07:53.880 You wouldn't have to get anything from China.

00:07:56.320 So which of the climate models have that?

00:07:58.420 If this one thing turns out to be true, plus battery storage so that your light can be used

00:08:06.600 at any time, that would change everything.

00:08:12.300 And it's just one thing that science is working on.

00:08:15.460 The other thing that could change everything is these small Oclo-like nuclear power plants,

00:08:23.320 you know, the modular ones.

00:08:25.160 So the government is now all about approving these sort of standardized, smaller nuclear

00:08:34.040 power plants.

00:08:34.880 As soon as they start building a few of those, that changes everything.

00:08:38.460 So you've got unlimited fusion energy on the way.

00:08:43.580 Actually, one or two plants have actually been approved for building fusion.

00:08:48.520 They're so close to it that they think they should start building the thing.

00:08:52.600 So you're going to have fusion.

00:08:54.220 You're going to have small nuclear.

00:08:56.320 That's a new version of nuclear, but not fusion.

00:08:58.920 And you might have these insane solar panels, and probably all of it looks to be hitting in

00:09:06.720 the 10 to 15-year range, would be my guess, because it just takes a while.

00:09:12.180 But in 10 to 15 years, if we could move to that, then even if climate change was a problem,

00:09:19.880 I don't think it is, but even if it is, we're going to be in good shape with energy.

00:09:24.760 We might find that even if climate isn't the problem many people thought it was, and I

00:09:30.240 think that's where we'll end up on climate, it will still be the greatest boon to humanity

00:09:36.180 that we took energy costs from way too expensive to, oh, now it's practically a commodity.

00:09:43.800 You're going to need that energy to be a commodity in the age of robots and self-driving cars and

00:09:49.120 AI.

00:09:49.480 So for all the wrong reasons, we might be moving really quickly in the right direction,

00:09:56.260 because the climate change people are going to love these new sources of energy.

00:10:00.560 The AI and robot people are going to say, there's no limit to how much energy we need,

00:10:04.700 so you better do everything.

00:10:06.500 So suddenly, for completely different reasons, the entire planet is on the same page about energy,

00:10:13.100 future energy.

00:10:14.480 energy, meaning that left and right would say, yes, we would prefer a world where we

00:10:20.300 have all this clean nuclear, and finally, you know, we make the, let's say the economic

00:10:27.260 argument for solar, we solve it in 15 years, you know, with batteries so that you don't have

00:10:34.100 the, you know, can't watch your TV at night problem.

00:10:36.840 And battery technology is having these huge, huge advantages, too.

00:10:44.660 All right, here's some more good news.

00:10:47.760 Are you ready for this?

00:10:48.840 This one's got it really good.

00:10:50.880 Apparently, according to PhysOrg, Will Borden Nobles III is writing about this.

00:10:55.280 There is a small school in which they can put kids in this school, and the way they teach

00:11:05.820 is they teach them how brains work.

00:11:08.680 So they teach them, you know, what to do to maximize your brain.

00:11:13.480 Just think about that.

00:11:15.560 They teach young kids how to manage and maximize their own brain.

00:11:20.460 So they teach them how to think critically, but they do a whole bunch of other exercises

00:11:26.160 where they just learn sort of about their, believe it or not, their amygdala, and they

00:11:31.800 do projects on how the brain works, and by fourth or fifth grade, they're doing that stuff,

00:11:37.760 and they do, they have to do illustrations of how the brain works and how people learn

00:11:43.800 and social and emotional regulation.

00:11:46.180 But here's the thing.

00:11:47.820 Apparently, they've already demonstrated, although it's, you know, smallish samples,

00:11:52.580 but they've demonstrated that they can get more of their kids into a college and get a

00:11:58.940 college degree than the regular schools.

00:12:02.940 But here's the fun part.

00:12:05.020 Their low economic students, their poorest students, handily exceed the college,

00:12:15.020 the college success of the richer students in regular schools.

00:12:20.620 Let me say that again.

00:12:21.940 They have already built a model and demonstrated it in the real world in which the way they

00:12:28.480 teach the kids is really teaching them how to learn, not just learning.

00:12:33.760 They're teaching them how to learn at a level I've never seen before.

00:12:37.620 I've never seen this level.

00:12:39.440 And they've proven that it works.

00:12:41.000 And they've basically erased income as the major factor in how you do in life, income when

00:12:52.460 you're born.

00:12:53.620 So basically, you don't have to be a J.D. Vance genius to go from low income to Harvard

00:12:59.620 to vice president.

00:13:01.640 At the moment, that's what it takes.

00:13:03.980 You've got to be unusually smart to get past that low income barrier and into something else.

00:13:10.160 But apparently, you could just randomly select people and teach them right, and they would

00:13:17.340 become superstars.

00:13:20.040 Now, you know why I'm so excited about that?

00:13:22.500 This is what I've been working on for years.

00:13:25.380 That's what my books are.

00:13:27.440 Let's see.

00:13:28.020 You can see most of them.

00:13:28.920 The four books on the top of my shelf are written so that a 14-year-old and up, and I make sure

00:13:38.700 that I write it with the kind of language that a 14-year-old can follow easily, but it works

00:13:44.260 for adults, because adults like simple writing as well.

00:13:47.700 And it's written to teach you how to think.

00:13:50.500 Reframe your brain.

00:13:52.180 Teach you how to reframe.

00:13:53.380 How valuable is that if you were a teenager, to learn how to reframe all your experiences

00:13:58.640 and see examples of it?

00:14:00.440 Life-changing.

00:14:02.160 Winn-Bigley is teaching you persuasion instead of just logic, so you can see why persuasion

00:14:09.100 rules and our common sense gets overruled.

00:14:12.680 How valuable would that be if you learned that at 14?

00:14:16.800 Invaluable. 0.99

00:14:17.440 How about Loser Think, where it teaches you how to avoid the bad, dumb arguments? 0.98

00:14:24.040 Well, that's exactly what you need to know how to do. 0.98

00:14:27.800 Imagine learning that at 14.

00:14:30.440 And then, you know, my seminal book, How to Failed Almost Everything and Still Win Big,

00:14:35.660 is really the, I believe it's the most influential book in its genre for teaching you how to go from

00:14:43.220 nothing to something, whatever your success looks like in your mind.

00:14:47.340 Now, again, that was written specifically for a 14-year-old and up.

00:14:52.740 And so, I'm all in on this concept that if you teach people how to think,

00:14:59.580 then they can carve right through any income or other barriers.

00:15:04.100 Doesn't matter what your race is.

00:15:05.660 Doesn't matter what your gender is. 1.00

00:15:07.940 Probably doesn't matter too much what your age is.

00:15:11.080 You'll be able to carve right through it.

00:15:12.540 I'll bet you, I'll bet you, if you even had a prison record, but you mastered all three

00:15:19.060 of my books, you'd probably be fine, even with a prison record.

00:15:24.400 So, that's how powerful this stuff is.

00:15:27.180 And when I see it, when I see a version of it, obviously, it's not based on my work.

00:15:32.080 But when I see a like-minded version of this, working for young kids in fourth and fifth

00:15:38.800 grade and elevating the poor kids above the rich kids, not just equal, well above, just

00:15:46.720 by teaching them right.

00:15:48.040 So exciting.

00:15:49.580 Probably, this is probably the most exciting thing

00:15:52.240 that I've seen in years on any domain.

00:15:57.880 There's nothing I've seen more exciting than this.

00:16:01.160 So, good on them.

00:16:03.340 This is also why I like King Randall's work.

00:16:07.460 He wanted to come and visit me, and I didn't know if I'm healthy enough to do that, but

00:16:12.520 I might see if he wants to stop by and do a podcast.

00:16:19.840 Anyway, King Randall is a youngish black man who has a school for young kids, most of them

00:16:27.480 black, but they don't have to be. 0.98

00:16:28.860 There's at least one white kid in there.

00:16:31.000 And he's simply teaching them life skills that you wouldn't normally get, which would

00:16:36.720 make you more confident.

00:16:37.740 And you would just have all kinds of advantages.

00:16:40.800 You'd learn etiquette.

00:16:42.600 If you're a poor kid, imagine being a poor kid and learning which fork to use and where

00:16:48.440 to put your napkin and stuff like that.

00:16:50.440 If you couldn't do that, that's the cap on your success right there.

00:16:55.780 If you didn't know how to eat with proper people who could be your mentor, invested you,

00:17:01.500 hire you.

00:17:02.040 If you didn't know how to eat in a way that the other person says, oh, this person,

00:17:06.640 knows etiquette.

00:17:08.660 If you didn't know that, that would be a cap.

00:17:11.640 You're done.

00:17:12.800 You don't get a better job than somebody who can't eat in public. 1.00

00:17:16.240 That's it.

00:17:17.460 So what King Randall does is amazing.

00:17:21.240 And I'd love to tell you more about that at some point.

00:17:27.040 All right.

00:17:27.740 So OpenAI, the company is, it's the company that's beyond chat, GBT, their valuation is

00:17:39.360 apparently $500 billion now.

00:17:42.260 Now, the way you calculate that is because some of the current and former employees are

00:17:47.220 already selling stock in the secondary market.

00:17:49.840 So you can't publicly buy the stock.

00:17:52.720 But you can do it privately.

00:17:54.800 And they have sold $6.6 billion worth of shares.

00:18:00.220 That means that some number of current and former OpenAI people probably made, you know,

00:18:09.860 some people at the top, $100 million.

00:18:13.540 Maybe they made $500 million for one person.

00:18:16.920 And I don't feel like they earned that.

00:18:22.540 Do you?

00:18:24.300 If somebody already earned a billion dollars, and they've cashed it out, and it's just their

00:18:30.500 money forever now, it can never go away.

00:18:32.780 Did they really earn that for the sakes of months they might have worked there?

00:18:38.760 I don't know.

00:18:39.680 Well, probably they had to work longer to get vested. 0.51

00:18:42.380 I'm surprised they were even vested.

00:18:44.200 But maybe they really had to offer them good deals.

00:18:46.920 Well, Tesla, like I said, is up 100% since the day that Tim Walsh was publicly celebrating

00:18:56.380 the drop in Tesla stock.

00:18:59.820 So if you went with Tim Walsh's opinion about Tesla, you missed a 100% gain.

00:19:08.560 And, you know, I own some of the stock, as I said.

00:19:12.080 So you shouldn't listen to me when it comes to investments in general.

00:19:16.920 If it's about an individual company.

00:19:18.740 The only thing you should listen to me about is that diversification is good.

00:19:23.860 That's it.

00:19:24.800 That's the only thing you should take from me that's just like a fact, and you should bank

00:19:29.300 on it.

00:19:30.300 Diversification is good.

00:19:32.260 But anyway, so yeah, Tim Walsh continues to be the worst public figure in the world.

00:19:46.880 Anyway, so I guess Elon bought a billion dollars of Tesla stock last week or something, and it

00:19:55.220 made a big impression because it showed that he was confident in the stock.

00:20:01.260 And we'll see.

00:20:03.340 But speaking of stock, did you know that there's a movement, mostly from the, entirely, from

00:20:10.220 the political right to boycott Netflix, and Elon Musk is the biggest name in that.

00:20:17.360 Benny Johnson was talking about it.

00:20:19.440 So Benny Johnson was explaining why people like Elon and others are not too happy with

00:20:27.040 Netflix's content because, as Benny explains, that Netflix is sexualizing children by packaging

00:20:34.540 explicit, graphic, radical sex topics as children's entertainment.

00:20:40.360 Now, I'm not going to name the titles that have been coming up as the ones that are inappropriate,

00:20:47.760 but use your imagination, all right?

00:20:50.680 If these entirely reasonable people, Benny Johnson, Elon Musk, tons of other people, if

00:20:57.720 these entirely reasonable people have looked at these titles, and they have, and said, no

00:21:04.880 freaking way you're going to put that in my house because my kids can turn on Netflix and 1.00

00:21:10.200 just see it.

00:21:11.840 And in fact, not just see it, it would be served up to them specifically.

00:21:16.240 So, and then apparently, Elon posted that 100% of Netflix employees' donations are to the

00:21:26.960 Democratic Party.

00:21:28.240 Well, I knew that already, but when you think of this topic, it's sort of especially meaningful,

00:21:35.000 isn't it?

00:21:36.420 But apparently, they've lost, Netflix has lost 15 billion in market value since people started

00:21:42.820 canceling subscriptions.

00:21:43.940 Now, I've got mixed feelings on this one.

00:21:50.160 I'm not a huge fan of boycotts.

00:21:53.400 Not a huge fan.

00:21:54.940 Because, you know, in effect, that's why I'm canceled.

00:21:58.880 Because somebody decided, somebody decided on your behalf that you shouldn't see Dilbert

00:22:04.500 in newspapers.

00:22:05.540 You didn't get to decide that.

00:22:07.120 Is that a good model, that the people who are the customers had no say whatsoever in whether

00:22:14.520 I was canceled?

00:22:16.440 Worldwide.

00:22:17.420 Books and, you know, not the books I've republished, but the original publisher all canceled.

00:22:23.860 So, I've got a little bit of mixed feelings.

00:22:30.000 But on the other hand, I also have that, what we call the internet dad energy, meaning that

00:22:36.920 if I had young kids in the house, I would cancel it today.

00:22:40.700 Everybody, everybody know where I'm coming from?

00:22:45.040 If I had any young kids in my house, I would cancel Netflix, for sure.

00:22:51.680 But I don't.

00:22:53.800 So, I also am going to start monitoring to see if there's even one thing I can watch on Netflix

00:23:00.700 that I want to watch, because usually not, but something might come back.

00:23:07.680 So, I don't know.

00:23:09.040 I'm not sure which way I'll go on that, but I guarantee if I had a kid in the house, even

00:23:13.740 one kid, no way.

00:23:16.180 There's no way I would let a kid watch that material.

00:23:21.960 So, the meme story just keeps getting better and better.

00:23:30.700 So, you know the meme story, which is Hakeem Jeffries was shown in a Trump passed around

00:23:38.460 meme, where he had a sombrero and a big fake Mexican mustache.

00:23:45.400 And there are three of them now that all have them in that, you know, one of them includes

00:23:50.660 Trump playing them as the mariachi band.

00:23:53.580 Now, the beautiful part about the third one, I think it was the third one in the same vein,

00:23:59.180 is that if you've got Trump wearing the hat and playing mariachi music, is Trump making

00:24:06.580 fun of Mexicans? 1.00

00:24:09.860 Because he's wearing the hat. 0.55

00:24:12.700 He's wearing the hat.

00:24:14.280 And I think he even has, did he have a mustache?

00:24:16.360 I don't remember.

00:24:17.560 I think no mustache, but he's wearing the hat.

00:24:19.340 So, he put himself in the meme in, you know, almost exactly the same context as Hakeem Jeffries.

00:24:27.420 You don't put yourself in the meme if the meme isn't, you know, meant to be a racial insult.

00:24:35.040 So, that makes it even more fun and interesting.

00:24:39.220 But Caitlin Collins, CNN's Caitlin Collins, is talking about how apparently the White House

00:24:46.940 has been playing the memes on a loop over the loudspeaker in the White House for the press

00:24:52.940 corps.

00:24:54.980 They're not, not only are they not running away from it, they're doubling down, they're

00:24:59.980 tripling down, and they're playing it on the White House speakers.

00:25:03.260 Now, I could not be happier about this, because CNN, one of their hosts, already called it

00:25:10.560 a racist video.

00:25:12.640 And I think it was Caitlin who said, they simply don't care about the criticism.

00:25:19.560 I guess they just figured it out.

00:25:22.200 They just figured out that the Republicans are in breakout mode, breakout mode.

00:25:29.300 They had been contained by charges of racism.

00:25:34.060 It was the most powerful, you know, the most powerful product that the Democrats had.

00:25:39.180 They didn't have arguments.

00:25:40.400 They didn't have good candidates.

00:25:41.740 They didn't have policies.

00:25:42.880 They didn't have a track record.

00:25:44.500 They didn't have anything.

00:25:45.820 They had this one thing, this psychological wall that they built, that if you did something

00:25:53.920 they didn't like, and it really didn't even matter, they could make a story that it was

00:25:58.340 being racist.

00:25:59.640 Oh, you want to lower taxes?

00:26:02.240 Oh, well, that's obviously going to affect the, you know, the brown community more than

00:26:07.360 the white community.

00:26:08.020 So, I guess that's pretty racist.

00:26:10.940 So, they can do it with anything.

00:26:13.260 But by Trump and company going directly at it, like instead of running away from it, running

00:26:20.500 toward it and saying, all right, we're going to mock this.

00:26:23.940 We're going to make a joke out of it.

00:26:26.180 It totally worked.

00:26:27.420 So, Republicans have just experienced breakout.

00:26:33.760 I think the Charlie Kirk thing changed everything.

00:26:38.620 You know, I didn't know at the time that it would, but in my opinion, it changed everything.

00:26:44.120 And what it did was it changed people from, all right, I'm still on steroids at the moment,

00:26:49.080 so if your four-year-old is listening, cover up the ears.

00:26:53.520 I think the Charlie Kirk thing went from, we have a preference that you would not be saying

00:27:00.120 these things about us. 1.00

00:27:02.000 Now it's fuck you. 1.00

00:27:04.620 It's fuck you. 1.00

00:27:05.920 We're going right at you. 1.00

00:27:07.280 And you see it in a lot of domains.

00:27:11.420 You're seeing it with the so-called black fatigue theme that's going around.

00:27:17.120 And you're definitely seeing it with the Mexican sombreros.

00:27:20.740 Although I remind you that I'll bet you will never find a single Mexican who's honest who 1.00

00:27:28.140 would say that that bothered them.

00:27:29.880 You won't even find one.

00:27:30.920 So, it's a fake everything is racist thing that CNN and MSNBC does.

00:27:36.700 But now it's just a joke.

00:27:40.560 And I believe that this creates the model going forward. 0.99

00:27:44.480 Every time they do the stupid racist thing where they torture the topic until it looks 0.99

00:27:50.040 like they can make it racist, you just turn them into a meme. 1.00

00:27:54.120 And then when they complain, my God, you're even more racist because you turned it into

00:27:57.900 a meme, what do you do then?

00:27:59.660 Turn it into a meme.

00:28:01.000 And when they complain more, what do you do?

00:28:03.440 Turn it into a meme.

00:28:04.340 So, good luck, guys.

00:28:09.540 Well, I told you that there was a, that Minneapolis had 50% of the immigrants had some kind of

00:28:17.040 criminal, you know, outstanding criminal behavior.

00:28:20.480 But I didn't realize that 50% of them had committed immigration fraud, New York Post is reporting.

00:28:28.800 So, apparently, the former director of USCIS, some kind of Biden department, created a parole program

00:28:40.140 that funneled unfettered military-age migrants into Minneapolis, establishing an Islamic enclave.

00:28:48.460 Yeah, that was a good idea, Biden.

00:28:51.660 Let's funnel the unvetted military-age migrants that have some kind of a parole program and create an Islamic enclave. 1.00

00:29:04.920 Great idea.

00:29:05.600 I'm going to say more about that in a minute, but I'm going to go through this topic to get there.

00:29:14.840 According to the post-millennial, 53% of Americans, there's a new Pew Research poll, 53% of Americans think that not having kids is bad for the nation.

00:29:25.480 Only 53% think that it's a bad idea to not have enough kids.

00:29:34.060 Do they understand what happens if you don't have enough kids?

00:29:38.920 Are there really that many people who don't understand that if you don't have many kids, we're all dead, or the country's dead?

00:29:47.920 Like, people don't really understand that, which is weird.

00:29:53.460 I think, you know, my entire life I was told that we were overpopulated and we better have fewer kids.

00:29:58.980 So, I think a lot of people have just been brainwashed in the, you know, we're overpopulated climate change stuff.

00:30:05.600 So, think about how dangerous climate change has been, that it actually talked an entire civilization into killing itself by not reproducing at replacement rate.

00:30:18.660 That actually is happening.

00:30:20.600 And, you know, it's not all climate change, but I'll bet it's, you know, a third of it.

00:30:25.740 So, what happens, what happens if you don't have replacement rates for your own population, and at the same time, you have an immigration system that is allowing in a lot of people from other countries?

00:30:46.940 Well, depends what countries.

00:30:48.740 If it's, say, a lot of people coming in from England, because they want to get away from their repressive government over there, probably they would assimilate pretty quickly.

00:31:00.080 There would be high education in that group.

00:31:02.760 Probably be fine.

00:31:04.100 That would be one way to compensate for low birth rates. 0.75

00:31:09.200 What if your people came in from an Islamic country, which there are lots of them?

00:31:14.680 Well, that, too, would be okay if you kept that number lowish, and they were distributed around the country so that, you know, they just assimilated.

00:31:23.880 It might take longer, but, you know, that'd be okay.

00:31:27.600 But what would be the worst thing you could do?

00:31:30.460 The worst thing you could do is have a low population naturally.

00:31:36.220 Your native population is not reproducing.

00:31:39.580 While you're bringing in a lot of Islamic people and putting them in places where they will form caliphates effectively, they'll push for electing all their own people, because you don't need to have – you don't have to have a majority in, like, look at New York City. 0.89

00:31:59.660 Look at England.

00:32:00.660 Look at London.

00:32:02.480 You don't need a majority.

00:32:04.200 You just need that majority to all vote the same way, that minority to vote the same way, and then you control politics.

00:32:10.640 So the Islamic model, where you really don't change religions, so that's a non – since you could actually be murdered by your own people if you change religions, it kind of locks you in to not assimilating, because literally, for some people, it would mean death. 0.93

00:32:34.100 Also, if you put them in one place, like this Minneapolis model, you are designing a system that guarantees, in the long run, we become an Islamic country. 0.73

00:32:47.120 It's guaranteed.

00:32:48.540 Because the Islamic thing is not about the people, per se. 0.92

00:32:53.640 It's about a – I'll call it a mind virus. 0.60

00:32:57.800 You could call it a religion that doesn't – that is not compatible with other religions. 0.99

00:33:02.220 But I'm going to call it a mind virus.

00:33:04.820 The mind virus, if you put enough people who have the same mind virus in the same place, they will eventually take over your country, a little bit at a time.

00:33:13.900 But we currently have a system, which it looks like the Trump administration is trying to undo, but the Biden administration had in place an entire system, which guaranteed we would become an Islamic country.

00:33:27.980 Because if you simply brought in all kinds of different people at, let's say, the same rate, let's say 10% of your people coming in were from Mexico, 10% from other South America, 10% from Europe, 10% from Islamic countries, what would you end up with?

00:33:46.540 You would end up with an Islamic country. 0.75

00:33:49.200 10% probably would get you to an Islamic country.

00:33:53.140 And I think that would be by design.

00:33:55.820 Now, not necessarily by intentional design.

00:34:00.420 It's just that if you looked at it on paper, you'd say, let's see, the locals are not reproducing, and they're bringing in a lot of people.

00:34:09.720 Many of them will just assimilate.

00:34:12.120 But, hmm, 10% might be the ones who, by their own preference, would not want to assimilate.

00:34:18.360 If you bring a Mexican into America, and he wants to live in America and have American kids, do you think they want to assimilate? 1.00

00:34:29.500 Absolutely.

00:34:30.940 Absolutely they want to.

00:34:32.420 I mean, they might want to hold on to some of their, you know, Hispanic traditions, of course.

00:34:37.580 But they want to be mostly American.

00:34:41.140 Do the Islamic immigrants have the same intention and or ambition? 1.00

00:34:48.360 I feel like their system is a different system, and it's more about making their host country more like them.

00:34:57.460 Would you agree?

00:34:58.860 I don't know of any situation in which a Mexican immigrant, even once, has tried to make America more like Mexico.

00:35:09.500 Except, you know, unless they started a Mexican restaurant, but those are fun.

00:35:13.600 Right?

00:35:15.200 They're not even trying to resist assimilation.

00:35:19.060 They come here to assimilate. 1.00

00:35:20.920 But if you told me that the Islamic immigrants came here to assimilate, I would call you a liar, because I don't think that's true.

00:35:29.120 So, we have a system that guarantees we would be Islamic, and only the Republicans can unwind it, if it's even possible. 0.99

00:35:39.700 I think there's still time.

00:35:41.140 I think we can save ourselves.

00:35:43.280 But I do not think Europe acted fast enough.

00:35:46.940 I think Europe's dead.

00:35:48.640 Not dead. 0.99

00:35:49.400 They'll be Islamic. 0.96

00:35:50.080 Well, Steve Molloy, and I saw this post by Amuse.

00:35:58.620 In 2007, Al Gore warned that the Arctic would be ice-free by 2014.

00:36:04.300 How did he do?

00:36:05.640 Well, it's now 2025, and 500,000 square kilometers more ice have been added.

00:36:13.700 And that's about as wrong as you could possibly be.

00:36:19.240 That's about as wrong as you could be.

00:36:23.060 And the new news is that, according to Israel, Greta and her little flotilla, I think there are about 50 boats, heading with what they claim is food for Hamas.

00:36:35.320 And some documents were found in Hamas's possession, or abandoned by them, I guess.

00:36:43.820 And the documents suggested that Hamas is funding the flotilla and probably organizing it, too.

00:36:50.340 And the reason for it is, you know, to make Israel look bad. 0.70

00:36:53.280 And one of the reasons you know that they are not genuinely intending to deliver food and that the food delivery thing is a fake is that Israel already offered a way to offload that food in Italy where it's not a political event.

00:37:10.920 And then Italy had already offered to ship the rest of it to Israel and Gaza.

00:37:15.880 So they have a way to get all of the food to Hamas, and they've turned it down because they want to make the political statement of being, you know, turned down when they reach the border, I guess.

00:37:29.400 So Greta went from the wonder kid of climate change, which was, of course, a gigantic scam as far as we can tell, to being scammed by Hamas because she's not smart enough to figure out who funded her. 0.99

00:37:46.360 And now she's just a dupe of a terrorist organization. 0.97

00:37:50.440 So she went from being the most destructive person on Earth by pushing climate change. 1.00

00:37:57.240 That would mean, literally, that makes her the most destructive person on Earth to being duped by a terrorist organization. 0.98

00:38:05.320 So I don't know how Wikipedia is going to write that up, but I think Grokipedia might get it right, if you know what I mean.

00:38:12.340 Anyway, it's possible that all data is fake, so maybe that whole story is made up.

00:38:20.940 You know, anything from a war zone, you can't totally trust it.

00:38:25.360 So if Israel said, oh, we found these documents, which coincidentally are right on the nose, do you believe it? 0.91

00:38:35.520 Now, I read it to you like it's a fact.

00:38:38.560 Should you believe, Israel, that they found this thing that's just perfect? 0.99

00:38:44.960 It's right on the nose.

00:38:46.200 Oh, isn't that perfect that they found that the flotilla was funded by Hamas? 0.52

00:38:52.500 Now, I don't know if it was or wasn't, but would you believe it because it's reported?

00:38:58.320 The answer is you should not believe it because it was reported. 0.99

00:39:03.120 It's exactly the kind of fake bullshit that gets made up during a war. 0.99

00:39:07.120 It's exactly what gets made up during a war. 1.00

00:39:11.980 Was this made up?

00:39:13.680 I don't know.

00:39:14.740 I want to believe it's true because it makes a good story, but a little too good.

00:39:20.740 It's a little too good, a little too on the nose.

00:39:22.880 So I'm going to say that all data is fake and probably that, but we see if there's follow-up

00:39:30.560 or we see the documents and somebody confirms the documents are real somehow, I'll change my mind.

00:39:39.340 But right now, I'm leaning toward no, probably not true.

00:39:43.540 Well, there's a new poll that says one in three Americans now think political violence might be necessary.

00:39:54.660 Now, all data is fake and most polls have some problems too.

00:40:00.220 Do you believe any poll that has this high percentage of people that say that violence might be necessary?

00:40:09.080 Do you believe, let's see, I'll give some details.

00:40:11.040 Let's see, the support for violence is rising faster among Democrats, jumping from 12% thought

00:40:20.300 violence might sometimes be necessary for politics to 28% in just 18 months.

00:40:26.920 And they probably did this after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

00:40:30.880 Imagine the number among Democrats going up for violence after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

00:40:43.060 I mean, just try to hold that in your head for a second.

00:40:46.040 Wow.

00:40:47.000 I mean, now I believe that this poll was taken after he was assassinated, but I don't have a confirmation on it.

00:40:53.780 So, NPR is writing about this, if you want to follow up.

00:40:58.960 And let's see, I guess Republicans, well, Republicans still slightly outpace them at 31%.

00:41:06.040 So, 28% of Democrats, that's way up.

00:41:11.280 And then independents aren't too far behind, 25% of them, 25% say violence is all right. 0.99

00:41:19.820 Well, the 28%, as you know, is close to my magical 25%, which I say 25% of people in every poll, no matter what the topic is, no matter who does the poll, no matter who answers it, 25% of the respondents will have the most batshit, stupid answer that is possible. 0.99

00:41:40.000 And this is it. 0.98

00:41:40.800 So, here's what I think.

00:41:42.660 I think if you call somebody and the only thing that they have to worry about is what they say on the phone, they say, oh, yeah, it's time to get violent.

00:41:52.800 That's what you say if you're answering a poll question, because you might want that answer to be there. 0.88

00:41:57.960 You might be a troll. 0.80

00:41:59.420 You might be just trolling, right? 0.95

00:42:01.020 But what happens if you go to your neighbor and say, go to your Democrat neighbor and say, all right, it's go time. 0.99

00:42:07.800 Grab your gun and meet me in the street, because we've got to start shooting the bad guys. 0.96

00:42:14.040 What happens next? 0.98

00:42:16.020 That guy who said, yeah, violence would be a good idea, he realizes that he doesn't own a gun.

00:42:23.940 If he goes out in the street, he will be opposed to the people who have all the guns.

00:42:28.280 So, do you think that that guy is going to be in favor of violence if violence was a real option in both directions? 1.00

00:42:38.700 I've got a feeling that that 28% are just full of shit. 1.00

00:42:43.380 You know, a few of them are going to be Antifa types that would do violence, and they're just crazy and broken, and, you know, they're just broken people. 1.00

00:42:53.680 But the average, ordinary Democrat, they might say yes in a poll.

00:43:01.400 They're not going to say yes if there are gunshots outside.

00:43:06.500 You know, they're suddenly going to realize they're unarmed.

00:43:10.440 Except for the criminals, I guess, who will just be robbing the people who are trying to do something political.

00:43:16.960 Anyway, so I don't believe that poll.

00:43:21.420 I don't believe it on the Democrat side.

00:43:23.500 I don't believe it on the Republican side.

00:43:25.420 I don't believe it on the independents. 1.00

00:43:27.960 I think it's bullshit. 1.00

00:43:29.580 The data is fake. 0.96

00:43:31.820 What are the new technologies that will change aviation?

00:43:35.860 Well, hydrogen would be one for sure if we got there.

00:43:38.200 I mean, hydrogen is not just an alternative fuel.

00:43:41.460 I mean, hydrogen would change it significantly if we ever managed to break the back of that.

00:43:46.140 Today, I'm speaking with Kalen Rovinescu, the former president of Air Canada and a trailblazer in global aviation.

00:43:55.860 Join me, Chris Hadfield, on the On Energy podcast.

00:43:59.460 Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

00:44:01.840 Well, the Ryder Cup ended yesterday.

00:44:05.160 That's a big golfing thing where various countries compete against other countries.

00:44:10.520 I guess Europe won it.

00:44:13.920 But the big story is that a New York PD police detective snuck in.

00:44:25.200 And the way he did it was wearing his full police uniform with guns and everything.

00:44:32.920 And he talked his way into the highly secured area where Trump was, where Trump was.

00:44:39.560 He talked his way in without credentials just by saying he was working on Trump's security.

00:44:46.600 Do you know how they found out he had a weapon?

00:44:49.980 Because he accidentally dropped a clip.

00:44:52.900 Somebody noticed he dropped a clip of bullets on the ground.

00:44:57.160 And they're like, oh, hold on.

00:44:59.240 Hold on.

00:44:59.940 Maybe we need to talk to you again.

00:45:01.840 Now, as far as we can tell, he was just a cop who wanted to get into the show.

00:45:09.680 So he might have been just a Trump fan.

00:45:12.020 And he didn't have a ticket.

00:45:13.240 And he thought, oh, this would be a clever way to get up close.

00:45:16.560 And magazine, not a clip.

00:45:19.740 All right.

00:45:20.160 We'll call it a magazine, not a clip.

00:45:21.600 The news story called it a clip.

00:45:24.500 So I was just, I was clipping their clip.

00:45:27.600 But we'll go with the real gun people. 0.59

00:45:31.480 A magazine, not a clip.

00:45:34.940 All right.

00:45:38.220 Anyway, he got kicked out.

00:45:40.080 But the question is, if it was that easy to get in with a loaded gun or a gun,

00:45:47.180 how much security does Trump really have?

00:45:50.300 It does make you wonder.

00:45:52.180 So this is the kind of story that tells me that if the dictator took over one day

00:45:57.500 and the citizens, you know, by a majority wanted to take out that dictator,

00:46:03.660 they could get to him.

00:46:05.800 You know, the security just would do a lesser job.

00:46:09.800 And, yeah, they could get to him.

00:46:13.040 Well, the Super Bowl has now their halftime entertainment,

00:46:17.820 which is always controversy.

00:46:19.540 And they chose a fellow named Bad Bunny.

00:46:23.640 Now, Bad Bunny, I think, does most of his music in Spanish.

00:46:26.740 So that's the first American provocation going on right there.

00:46:31.100 But secondly, he wears a dress.

00:46:33.600 He's sort of a cross-dresser.

00:46:36.000 I don't know if he's non-binary or what he is, but he likes wearing dresses.

00:46:39.620 And some thinking is that, is it, I don't know if this part's true,

00:46:44.840 but is Jay-Z and his production company, are they in charge of the Super Bowl,

00:46:50.860 the entertainment of the Super Bowl?

00:46:52.500 Because some thought that Jay-Z was just sort of messing with, you know,

00:46:59.520 messing with America by doing the, what he might think is the worst, you know,

00:47:06.240 the worst choice for the Republican part of the world.

00:47:08.920 So, but, and then the reason that Bad Bunny had, was not doing any shows in America,

00:47:17.580 he's going to make this one exception for the Super Bowl,

00:47:20.020 but he wasn't doing that because he was worried that ICE would attend his shows

00:47:26.000 because there would be a large Hispanic population going to his shows.

00:47:30.480 And he's worried that ICE would sort of stand down aside

00:47:33.560 and start arresting people and deporting them.

00:47:36.680 So he canceled all of his U.S. shows.

00:47:40.060 Oh, that happened a while ago.

00:47:42.500 So what do you think the U.S. is going to do about that?

00:47:46.040 Well, Corey Lewandowski, who is part of Homeland Security,

00:47:53.280 he says that, yeah, ICE will definitely be at the game.

00:47:56.140 He said, there's no place that is a safe haven for people in this country illegally, 1.00

00:48:03.860 not the Super Bowl and nowhere else.

00:48:06.380 We will find you.

00:48:07.600 We will apprehend you. 0.72

00:48:08.620 We will put you in a detention facility and we'll deport you. 0.99

00:48:11.800 So know that there's a very real situation in this administration,

00:48:15.460 which is completely contrary to how it used to be.

00:48:19.280 Now, when you first heard that Bad Bunny was concerned

00:48:23.420 and, you know, good Democrats were also concerned

00:48:26.820 that ICE might be at the Super Bowl getting Bad Bunny's fans and deported them,

00:48:35.420 didn't you sort of automatically think,

00:48:37.960 oh, well, you don't want to ruin the Super Bowl,

00:48:41.220 so ICE will not be there because, you know,

00:48:45.060 it just seems like the wrong domain for that kind of action.

00:48:48.640 But once again, the Trump administration breaks through a wall

00:48:54.660 and basically says, oh, yeah, we're going to be at the Super Bowl all day long.

00:48:59.620 We're going to deport anybody we can get our hands on 0.99

00:49:02.020 that, you know, is the right person to deport.

00:49:05.100 And I got to say, every time Trump does something

00:49:08.880 that's more baller than you thought he would do,

00:49:11.500 because obviously he would approve of this,

00:49:13.260 it doesn't make me like him less.

00:49:18.040 It doesn't.

00:49:19.980 So acting strong, I've said this before, but I'll say it again,

00:49:24.740 acting strong will hurt you in the short run,

00:49:28.000 because there's always somebody who's, you know,

00:49:30.040 totally offended by the strong actions,

00:49:32.960 and it's going to, this is the beginning of the end,

00:49:36.120 you know, they always think that everything strong

00:49:37.660 turns into something even worse.

00:49:39.320 But in the long term, and there's a new poll out

00:49:45.460 showing that Trump's popularity is going pretty far down.

00:49:52.200 I would argue that that is the mark of a change leader.

00:49:57.040 If you're a big change kind of a leader,

00:49:59.940 you probably have high polling numbers to get elected.

00:50:03.560 That's why you got elected.

00:50:05.340 You had high approval numbers.

00:50:06.460 On day one, everybody is, you know, optimistic.

00:50:09.320 High, high, high numbers.

00:50:11.260 But as you start doing the things that hurt,

00:50:15.120 because it always hurts to do that much change,

00:50:18.260 the more change you introduce and the faster you introduce it,

00:50:22.080 and nobody's introduced more change than Trump is,

00:50:24.580 faster or more,

00:50:26.420 your popularity should drop quite a bit in the short run.

00:50:31.140 If the things that you do work out,

00:50:34.520 then half the people who said,

00:50:36.580 oh, no, tariffs are a mistake,

00:50:39.180 well, suddenly they go,

00:50:40.780 okay, I guess I was wrong about tariffs,

00:50:42.740 but not until the long run.

00:50:44.740 If closing the border looks cruel in the short run,

00:50:48.780 but a few years go by,

00:50:50.460 and everybody on both sides says,

00:50:52.400 yeah, that had to be done,

00:50:54.020 you're going to forget about all the anecdotal little stories

00:50:57.660 of the hairdresser who got deported,

00:51:00.940 maybe you didn't like that one.

00:51:02.120 All you remember is that there was one president

00:51:04.800 who closed the border when the others could or didn't or wouldn't.

00:51:08.620 So, in general,

00:51:11.120 if you had the best president you could ever imagine,

00:51:14.500 the most logical path for his approval

00:51:18.440 would be to start high,

00:51:20.540 yay, you won the election,

00:51:22.400 you're going to do all these things we want you to do,

00:51:24.700 oh, wait, you're going a little bit too hard,

00:51:27.420 oh, oh, I wouldn't have done it that way,

00:51:29.400 oh, oh, maybe if I reduce my approval,

00:51:33.080 you'll back off a little bit,

00:51:34.500 oh, I like nine out of ten things you're doing,

00:51:37.080 but I don't like that ten thing,

00:51:38.140 oh, oh, and your approval,

00:51:40.660 if you're a big change leader,

00:51:43.120 which Trump is,

00:51:44.280 should drop precipitously

00:51:46.740 because people are thinking about that one thing

00:51:49.420 in the news that bothered them that one day.

00:51:51.940 Over time,

00:51:53.580 if the things that Trump does work out,

00:51:56.240 and to me they look like they will,

00:51:59.220 five, ten years from now,

00:52:00.880 he would be the highest rated president of all time.

00:52:03.560 So, if you're worried about these,

00:52:05.040 you know, momentary drops in his popularity,

00:52:08.140 it would have to drop a lot more

00:52:10.820 before it would be even an indication of bad news.

00:52:14.660 All it is now is an indication

00:52:16.200 of people having short-term thinking.

00:52:18.680 That's all it's telling you.

00:52:20.160 It's not telling you anything about Trump.

00:52:22.200 It's telling you,

00:52:23.120 oh, people think short-term,

00:52:25.340 the news has to do the,

00:52:26.780 what's the problem of the day?

00:52:28.340 Of course it goes down.

00:52:29.560 It would be anybody.

00:52:31.420 All right, the government's closed

00:52:32.780 for the second day in a row.

00:52:34.020 Oh, oh, oh, no.

00:52:36.740 What am I going to do

00:52:37.840 with the government shutdown

00:52:39.660 of unnecessary services?

00:52:41.960 I need some unnecessary services.

00:52:44.620 Oh, oh.

00:52:45.800 Okay.

00:52:47.060 Are any of you affected in any way

00:52:50.100 by the shutdown of the government?

00:52:53.040 In any way?

00:52:54.240 So far, not me.

00:53:00.060 I'm sure it'll affect somebody,

00:53:02.020 but I don't know.

00:53:05.520 But there is some thought

00:53:07.160 that the shutdown is going to resonate

00:53:10.360 a little bit better for the Republicans

00:53:12.240 than for the Democrats.

00:53:15.380 So I don't know if that's true,

00:53:17.080 but that's what people are saying.

00:53:19.100 Some are calling it the Schumer shutdown,

00:53:22.080 but of course the Democrats

00:53:23.780 are trying to say

00:53:24.440 it's a Republican shutdown.

00:53:29.960 Here's what I'm liking about it.

00:53:31.520 As I told you,

00:53:33.220 I say no more money to the government

00:53:35.720 if both sides are lying about the budget.

00:53:40.100 Both sides are lying about the budget.

00:53:42.920 Both sides are just lying 1.00

00:53:45.080 through their asses by omission 1.00

00:53:47.220 and by leaving out context. 0.99

00:53:50.360 So, but as things are developing,

00:53:53.720 it appears that the GOP lie is the good one.

00:53:57.380 It's the one that's working.

00:53:59.240 Because the GOP lie is that

00:54:01.320 they're making it all about

00:54:03.440 giving free health care to illegal people.

00:54:09.020 Is that true?

00:54:10.560 Is it true that the money

00:54:13.000 that the Democrats want

00:54:14.500 primarily could be thought of

00:54:17.100 as free money for health care

00:54:19.320 for illegal aliens?

00:54:21.000 Well, that's not true.

00:54:23.200 But it's a little bit true.

00:54:25.500 It's not true

00:54:26.480 because they're not technically illegal.

00:54:28.920 The ones who are here on asylum 1.00

00:54:30.780 could still get the services,

00:54:34.480 but they're not technically illegal

00:54:36.340 because they came in through asylum.

00:54:39.400 But if you're a Republican,

00:54:41.580 you don't count them as legal

00:54:43.280 because you know the asylum claim

00:54:45.400 is fake for 98% of them.

00:54:47.580 Maybe if you were real.

00:54:49.580 But 98% of them are lying

00:54:52.500 to get a temporary legal status.

00:54:56.600 A Republican would say

00:54:59.260 that that's just an illegal alien.

00:55:01.760 I might use a different word for it,

00:55:04.240 but if they lied

00:55:05.300 on their asylum application,

00:55:07.840 they're an illegal alien.

00:55:09.000 So the Republicans can reasonably

00:55:13.460 and sort of honestly

00:55:15.220 say that there would be more health care

00:55:18.760 if the case would be

00:55:21.200 if an asylum seeker 0.81

00:55:23.400 who is technically legal,

00:55:26.220 but according to any common sense

00:55:28.180 Republican opinion,

00:55:29.420 that's an illegal person.

00:55:30.780 They've done two illegal things.

00:55:33.780 One is that they're in the country illegally 0.63

00:55:35.600 in the Republican opinion,

00:55:38.460 but also they lied to get in here.

00:55:41.180 Two crimes.

00:55:42.460 They're double illegal.

00:55:44.000 They're more illegal than the illegals. 1.00

00:55:45.960 They would be more illegal

00:55:46.860 than somebody who just snuck over the border

00:55:49.340 because they did two things.

00:55:51.580 Came in illegally and lied about it.

00:55:54.120 That's two.

00:55:55.540 So at the same time

00:55:57.980 that the Democrats are saying,

00:56:00.140 no, no, they're lying.

00:56:02.660 It's a lie.

00:56:03.460 We're not going to fund any illegals. 0.94

00:56:07.360 We're funding the people

00:56:08.400 who pretend to be legal.

00:56:10.580 That's completely different.

00:56:13.860 So CNN can call the Republicans liars,

00:56:16.980 which they do,

00:56:18.080 at the same time

00:56:19.180 that they are forced

00:56:20.880 to do a deep dive,

00:56:22.640 as Jake Tapper did,

00:56:24.400 to find out,

00:56:25.380 okay, what really is going on here?

00:56:27.060 And the deep dive

00:56:31.660 is not helping Democrats

00:56:33.740 because once you do the deep dive,

00:56:36.240 you see that the Republican framing of this,

00:56:39.940 that it's to fund illegal aliens,

00:56:42.680 is not correct.

00:56:44.540 It is not correct.

00:56:45.920 But the truth

00:56:47.060 is just as bad,

00:56:49.440 which is kind of genius.

00:56:52.920 if there's anything

00:56:54.660 I've ever taught you

00:56:55.520 about persuasion,

00:56:57.260 is that you can,

00:56:59.680 and it's not always unethical,

00:57:01.980 usually it is,

00:57:03.240 but not always,

00:57:04.200 you can tell a story

00:57:05.800 that's persuasive as hell

00:57:07.980 that's not exactly accurate.

00:57:10.880 And you could be doing it

00:57:12.060 in the service of the country.

00:57:14.040 In other words,

00:57:14.540 it could be good for the country

00:57:15.680 if it gets you the funding you want,

00:57:18.240 the services you want,

00:57:19.420 et cetera.

00:57:19.660 But maybe there was a little shaving

00:57:22.420 of the context,

00:57:23.540 if you know what I mean.

00:57:25.220 So because the critics

00:57:28.340 have to explain

00:57:29.940 why it's not true

00:57:31.680 that the funding

00:57:33.600 is for illegal aliens,

00:57:35.400 in the process of explaining it,

00:57:38.020 they end up defending

00:57:39.220 the Republican view

00:57:40.540 accidentally.

00:57:42.940 It's kind of freaking genius.

00:57:45.320 So if people believe

00:57:47.840 the Republican view on face,

00:57:50.360 the Republicans win.

00:57:51.780 But if they don't believe it,

00:57:54.000 and they also drill down

00:57:55.540 to find out what is true,

00:57:57.620 Republicans win the second time.

00:58:00.300 Because nobody's going to like

00:58:01.680 the fact that just because

00:58:03.320 they came in and illegally

00:58:04.620 said that they're asylum seekers,

00:58:06.300 they get free health care.

00:58:08.160 Nobody's going to like that.

00:58:10.540 While other money managers

00:58:12.520 are holding,

00:58:13.720 dynamic is hunting.

00:58:15.940 Seeing past the horizon,

00:58:17.920 investing beyond the benchmark.

00:58:19.660 Because your money can't grow

00:58:21.780 if it doesn't move.

00:58:27.000 All right.

00:58:30.700 I guess Hakeem Jeffries

00:58:32.120 went on CNN.

00:58:34.920 Eric Doherty noticed this.

00:58:37.700 And so Jake Tapper

00:58:38.960 was going through this,

00:58:40.060 you know,

00:58:40.840 this well.

00:58:42.180 And he goes,

00:58:43.200 so he reads Jeffries

00:58:44.580 the provision

00:58:45.360 so that Jeffries can see

00:58:48.300 that in reality,

00:58:49.960 people who are non-citizens,

00:58:51.000 non-citizens.

00:58:51.980 Now Jake would make the,

00:58:53.860 he would correctly

00:58:54.700 make the distinction

00:58:55.640 that the asylum seekers

00:58:57.680 are non-citizens,

00:58:59.280 but not technically illegal.

00:59:01.860 So he reads the provision

00:59:03.540 that says that that group

00:59:04.780 would get health care.

00:59:06.980 And then Jeffries says,

00:59:08.780 let's see,

00:59:10.920 here's what he reads.

00:59:12.520 He goes,

00:59:13.440 Jeffries called it a lie,

00:59:14.780 but then Tapper says,

00:59:15.740 it's a lie.

00:59:16.500 So he agrees with him.

00:59:17.300 It's a lie that illegals 1.00

00:59:19.340 are going to get health care

00:59:20.180 with this.

00:59:21.060 He goes,

00:59:21.300 but you support,

00:59:23.280 what you support

00:59:23.980 does bring back funding

00:59:25.420 for emergency Medicaid

00:59:26.940 to hospitals,

00:59:28.480 which pays for undocumented immigrants 0.87

00:59:31.640 and a provision

00:59:32.780 for people seeking asylum

00:59:34.320 and temporary protective status,

00:59:36.660 non-citizens.

00:59:37.840 Why even include that?

00:59:39.760 So Jake is saying,

00:59:40.740 why would you even put that in there

00:59:42.180 when you know

00:59:42.900 that's going to stop everything?

00:59:44.180 I don't even know

00:59:46.500 what the other things are.

00:59:48.240 Do you?

00:59:49.160 I've only heard of one topic

00:59:50.800 that they want to fund

00:59:52.160 and it doesn't sound

00:59:53.580 like a good idea.

00:59:55.260 Are there other parts

00:59:57.560 that that trillion or dollars

00:59:59.240 is going to go to

01:00:00.040 and just nobody wants

01:00:00.920 to mention it?

01:00:02.080 Republicans don't mention it

01:00:03.440 and the Democrats

01:00:04.020 don't mention it either.

01:00:05.560 Well, if they don't mention it,

01:00:07.500 I guess it comes down

01:00:08.440 to this one thing.

01:00:10.200 And to Tapper's credit,

01:00:12.500 although he called it a lie,

01:00:14.180 technically,

01:00:15.240 he did also support

01:00:17.660 why it's a perfectly good point

01:00:19.860 that the Republicans are making.

01:00:21.900 It's a perfectly good point

01:00:23.080 if they don't want to fund

01:00:24.340 people who are non-citizens.

01:00:27.440 That's the choice of voters.

01:00:32.300 And then,

01:00:33.260 anyway,

01:00:35.040 so Jeffries didn't have

01:00:36.160 much of an answer to that.

01:00:37.320 He doesn't have much

01:00:38.000 of an answer to anything.

01:00:40.640 All right.

01:00:41.580 It gets better.

01:00:42.280 So the White House,

01:00:43.760 I guess they had to furlough

01:00:45.400 their social media manager

01:00:46.960 because of the shutdown.

01:00:48.940 So instead of not having

01:00:50.700 their social media manager

01:00:52.080 operate from the White House,

01:00:54.820 the White House did

01:00:55.740 one of the funniest things

01:00:57.100 I've ever seen.

01:00:58.700 They announced

01:01:00.000 in a post on X,

01:01:01.840 our social media manager

01:01:02.940 was furloughed,

01:01:04.120 but making America great again

01:01:05.760 isn't.

01:01:06.200 So they show a meme

01:01:10.460 that apparently was made

01:01:12.300 by the people

01:01:12.980 who were the backup staff,

01:01:15.180 you know,

01:01:15.340 the ones who were not

01:01:16.060 the good social media managers.

01:01:19.220 And so they intentionally

01:01:20.680 made the meme

01:01:21.720 have all the wrong fonts,

01:01:23.720 a terrible design,

01:01:25.360 you know,

01:01:25.540 super simplistic,

01:01:27.240 a little eagle in the corner

01:01:28.800 that's just,

01:01:29.520 you know,

01:01:30.100 too on the nose.

01:01:31.640 And,

01:01:32.040 hey, cat.

01:01:33.800 But they made the meme

01:01:35.840 so hilariously bad,

01:01:37.680 it looked like something

01:01:38.880 you would have made

01:01:39.620 on the first day

01:01:40.920 that PowerPoint was invented.

01:01:43.040 You know,

01:01:43.280 somebody said,

01:01:43.820 hey, PowerPoint,

01:01:45.160 what's that?

01:01:45.720 What's it do?

01:01:46.460 All right, watch this.

01:01:47.560 I'll grab these images

01:01:48.480 and I'll put them all together

01:01:49.440 and I'll put all these

01:01:50.220 different fonts

01:01:50.860 and it would just be a mess.

01:01:53.160 So if you didn't get the joke

01:01:55.280 that they intentionally

01:01:57.280 designed it poorly,

01:01:59.400 it wasn't funny at all.

01:02:00.960 But once you realize

01:02:01.940 that they intentionally

01:02:02.840 made it funny,

01:02:03.580 it's definitely intentional.

01:02:04.980 They intentionally made it bad.

01:02:07.220 It's freaking,

01:02:08.420 it's just great.

01:02:09.840 It's really funny.

01:02:11.360 And then you look

01:02:12.140 at the comments,

01:02:13.580 then people,

01:02:14.440 you got the joke,

01:02:15.740 rolled in

01:02:16.400 and they played

01:02:16.980 with the meme themselves.

01:02:18.620 One of them put

01:02:19.340 a little sombrero

01:02:20.280 on the eagle.

01:02:23.720 I mean,

01:02:24.360 just great stuff.

01:02:26.580 So I reposted that on X

01:02:28.500 if you want to look at it.

01:02:29.440 It's definitely worth a look.

01:02:31.100 But A plus

01:02:32.100 to the White House,

01:02:33.580 probably the social media managers

01:02:36.380 were part of designing that,

01:02:38.120 but it's brilliant.

01:02:39.140 It's just brilliant.

01:02:41.640 I saw a post from

01:02:43.080 a cynical publicist,

01:02:44.740 one of my favorite follows.

01:02:46.820 He said that

01:02:47.680 fat generals

01:02:48.400 is merely the latest

01:02:49.660 80-20 issue

01:02:50.680 that Democrats

01:02:51.360 have decided to support

01:02:52.980 on the 20% side.

01:02:54.360 Have you heard

01:02:57.740 anybody

01:02:58.380 complain about

01:03:00.520 the Secretary of War

01:03:02.780 saying that the generals

01:03:03.760 shouldn't be fat?

01:03:05.440 I haven't heard

01:03:06.360 anybody complain about it.

01:03:07.700 It is another 80-20.

01:03:09.540 We do want our generals

01:03:10.860 not to look fat.

01:03:12.020 I do.

01:03:12.920 I want that.

01:03:14.440 I mean,

01:03:14.640 it's not my

01:03:15.100 number one problem

01:03:16.520 in the world,

01:03:17.220 but yeah,

01:03:17.580 I want my generals

01:03:20.180 to not be fat.

01:03:24.040 So,

01:03:24.860 good call.

01:03:25.760 Once again,

01:03:27.140 Democrats

01:03:27.800 on the 20% side.

01:03:31.800 All right.

01:03:32.720 We talked about that.

01:03:34.440 So,

01:03:34.720 Harvard

01:03:35.320 has hired a drag queen 1.00

01:03:38.260 as a visiting professor.

01:03:40.840 The drag queen's 0.97

01:03:42.500 stage name

01:03:43.680 is Lahore Vagistan.

01:03:49.420 Sorry.

01:03:50.660 Cat accident.

01:03:52.380 No,

01:03:52.800 no,

01:03:53.200 no,

01:03:53.520 no.

01:03:55.020 Roman,

01:03:55.760 don't knock over

01:03:56.380 the microphone.

01:03:58.460 You can be at my lap.

01:04:00.220 You can be over here.

01:04:02.160 It's fun to be at my lap.

01:04:03.840 Okay.

01:04:05.020 So,

01:04:05.840 here are the classes

01:04:07.200 that their drag queen 0.87

01:04:08.800 visiting professor

01:04:10.380 is going to teach.

01:04:12.520 One is

01:04:13.240 queer 0.99

01:04:14.300 ethnography.

01:04:17.840 So,

01:04:18.480 if you wanted

01:04:19.080 a queer 0.60

01:04:19.800 ethnography class

01:04:21.120 in Harvard,

01:04:21.940 you can get one now

01:04:22.780 from a drag queen 1.00

01:04:24.920 named Lahore Vagistan.

01:04:27.080 But that's not all.

01:04:28.740 You can also,

01:04:29.280 you can also attend

01:04:31.800 a class

01:04:32.400 at Harvard

01:04:33.340 called

01:04:34.320 Rue Politics,

01:04:36.100 Drag, 1.00

01:04:36.700 Race,

01:04:37.000 and Desire.

01:04:38.020 And that will be

01:04:39.120 in the spring semester.

01:04:40.380 That's it.

01:04:43.760 Now,

01:04:44.960 you tell me,

01:04:46.560 is Harvard

01:04:47.680 trolling?

01:04:50.140 Or did they really think

01:04:51.460 this was a good idea

01:04:52.640 for their brand

01:04:53.700 and for the students?

01:04:55.580 What is going on

01:04:56.660 with this?

01:04:57.360 To me,

01:04:57.760 that's just funny.

01:04:59.200 It's just funny

01:05:00.000 that they would

01:05:00.520 destroy themselves.

01:05:01.360 I would like 0.97

01:05:03.820 to keep

01:05:05.200 an updated

01:05:07.220 estimate

01:05:08.600 of what the value

01:05:09.940 of a Harvard

01:05:10.760 education

01:05:11.440 was and is.

01:05:13.720 I would say

01:05:14.280 a few years ago,

01:05:16.000 very few years ago,

01:05:17.420 the value

01:05:17.980 of a Harvard

01:05:18.640 education

01:05:19.260 could be

01:05:20.080 in the millions.

01:05:22.380 You know,

01:05:22.580 if you looked

01:05:23.000 at lifetime earnings,

01:05:24.680 even though it would be

01:05:25.360 expensive to go there,

01:05:27.020 probably one of the best

01:05:28.680 investments you could ever make

01:05:30.220 because of your lifetime earnings.

01:05:31.820 So I would say

01:05:32.480 a Harvard education

01:05:34.940 would probably

01:05:35.600 have been worth

01:05:36.500 $20 million

01:05:38.760 over a lifetime.

01:05:42.140 I mean,

01:05:42.500 really,

01:05:42.960 really valuable.

01:05:45.560 Current value

01:05:46.520 of a Harvard degree,

01:05:48.100 updating my estimates.

01:05:51.000 Let's see.

01:05:51.940 Carry the three.

01:05:52.940 $200.

01:05:55.680 $200.

01:05:57.200 Current value

01:05:58.160 of a Harvard degree.

01:06:00.720 Did you know

01:06:01.340 that Joy Reid

01:06:02.800 went to Harvard?

01:06:04.300 Yeah.

01:06:05.220 Mm-hmm.

01:06:06.260 And Joy Reid

01:06:07.340 was just on

01:06:09.260 a show

01:06:10.920 and Wokeness

01:06:12.380 spotted this.

01:06:14.140 And she said,

01:06:15.380 when my mother

01:06:15.940 came from Guyana,

01:06:17.540 she realized

01:06:18.300 it is not a land

01:06:19.180 of opportunity

01:06:19.860 for people like us.

01:06:21.140 Was she talking

01:06:24.060 about America

01:06:24.720 being not a land

01:06:25.880 of opportunity?

01:06:27.020 I believe she was saying

01:06:28.300 that America

01:06:28.840 was not the land

01:06:29.680 of opportunity

01:06:30.300 she thought it was.

01:06:32.200 As N. Wokeness 1.00

01:06:33.440 points out,

01:06:34.160 the average salary

01:06:35.240 in Guyana

01:06:35.980 was $5,200 a year.

01:06:39.080 And Joy Reid

01:06:39.880 came here

01:06:40.500 and earned

01:06:41.080 $3 million a year

01:06:42.460 at MSNBC.

01:06:45.380 So,

01:06:46.260 let's see.

01:06:46.920 Put it all together.

01:06:48.260 Her mother

01:06:48.680 is from Guyana,

01:06:49.600 which means

01:06:50.760 they came

01:06:51.300 to this country

01:06:52.020 well after slavery

01:06:53.940 was done.

01:06:55.560 So,

01:06:56.360 was not part

01:06:56.960 of the slavery.

01:06:58.380 But,

01:06:59.060 she earned

01:06:59.780 $3 million

01:07:00.540 probably

01:07:01.580 on the backs

01:07:02.560 of white men

01:07:03.760 who didn't

01:07:05.360 get into Harvard

01:07:06.100 because she did

01:07:07.120 and didn't

01:07:08.540 get a job

01:07:09.020 at MSNBC

01:07:10.200 because she did.

01:07:12.300 So,

01:07:13.880 question.

01:07:15.520 Does Joy Reid

01:07:16.720 owe me reparations?

01:07:18.320 because she

01:07:20.680 didn't,

01:07:21.980 she didn't,

01:07:23.100 she wasn't

01:07:23.620 part of the

01:07:24.160 legacy of slavery,

01:07:25.900 but she was 0.91

01:07:26.880 part of the

01:07:27.340 legacy of

01:07:28.280 denying 0.57

01:07:28.700 white men 0.89

01:07:29.200 jobs.

01:07:31.200 So,

01:07:32.680 do the math.

01:07:33.940 Does she

01:07:34.300 owe me reparations?

01:07:36.320 I went through,

01:07:37.700 let's see,

01:07:38.440 I lost my

01:07:40.020 first career

01:07:40.760 because I was

01:07:41.340 a white man.

01:07:41.940 I lost my

01:07:42.420 second career

01:07:43.100 because I was

01:07:43.580 a white man.

01:07:44.640 I lost my

01:07:45.280 third career

01:07:45.960 because I'm

01:07:46.500 a white man.

01:07:47.040 she got

01:07:49.280 on the

01:07:49.800 rocket ship

01:07:50.880 to the top

01:07:51.580 through Harvard

01:07:52.860 which of course

01:07:53.740 considered her

01:07:54.620 ethnicity

01:07:55.180 and then

01:07:56.260 MSNBC

01:07:57.020 which of course

01:07:58.140 considered her

01:07:59.180 gender

01:07:59.520 and her

01:08:00.040 ethnicity.

01:08:01.440 So,

01:08:01.820 she owes me

01:08:02.260 reparations,

01:08:03.220 right?

01:08:05.000 All right.

01:08:06.220 Well,

01:08:06.860 get back to me

01:08:07.480 on that.

01:08:10.280 Do you know

01:08:10.840 Rick Caruso,

01:08:12.000 the developer

01:08:12.880 guy,

01:08:13.700 I think at one

01:08:14.180 point he ran

01:08:14.740 for mayor

01:08:15.800 against Karen 0.89

01:08:16.480 Bass

01:08:16.900 but did

01:08:17.500 not win.

01:08:18.580 So,

01:08:18.780 he was on

01:08:19.320 the All

01:08:20.180 In Pod

01:08:21.020 event

01:08:22.760 and he was

01:08:23.480 talking on

01:08:24.020 stage with

01:08:24.840 the All

01:08:25.300 In Pod

01:08:25.600 guys

01:08:25.920 and he

01:08:27.060 said,

01:08:27.820 quote,

01:08:28.100 we're spending

01:08:28.780 in the city

01:08:29.360 of Los

01:08:29.720 Angeles

01:08:30.080 $900,000

01:08:31.600 per homeless

01:08:32.620 person

01:08:33.160 that we're

01:08:34.340 moving from

01:08:35.080 the streets.

01:08:36.260 Chamath said

01:08:36.980 $900,000

01:08:37.920 per year

01:08:38.460 because Chamath

01:08:40.180 is unusually

01:08:40.880 smart

01:08:41.440 and that

01:08:42.620 immediately

01:08:43.920 looked like

01:08:44.680 a sketchy

01:08:45.700 number.

01:08:46.720 So,

01:08:47.040 he was like

01:08:47.320 $900,000

01:08:48.140 per year?

01:08:49.380 You know,

01:08:49.620 kind of challenging

01:08:50.760 him to back

01:08:51.560 that up.

01:08:52.520 Caruso said

01:08:53.180 yeah.

01:08:54.060 Chamath said

01:08:54.820 oh my god.

01:08:56.600 So,

01:08:57.100 I looked it

01:08:57.580 up on

01:08:58.220 Grok

01:08:58.960 to find out

01:09:00.080 if that

01:09:00.420 $900,000

01:09:01.380 estimate

01:09:02.040 was real.

01:09:03.180 It's not.

01:09:05.800 There's no

01:09:06.540 number like

01:09:07.080 that.

01:09:08.060 Yeah.

01:09:08.160 And so,

01:09:10.280 remember I tell

01:09:10.780 you all data

01:09:11.400 that matters

01:09:12.020 is fake?

01:09:14.240 That's

01:09:14.720 presumably

01:09:15.480 fake data.

01:09:16.560 I think Chamath

01:09:17.380 saw it right

01:09:17.940 away.

01:09:18.980 But,

01:09:19.300 you know,

01:09:19.640 they didn't

01:09:19.960 have the

01:09:21.060 ability to

01:09:22.960 do a deep

01:09:23.480 dive.

01:09:24.280 But I guess

01:09:25.420 I'll ask

01:09:25.820 you guys,

01:09:27.480 Jason,

01:09:28.000 you might

01:09:28.480 be listening,

01:09:29.800 but do

01:09:31.680 a little

01:09:31.960 search on

01:09:33.240 that.

01:09:34.320 See if

01:09:34.920 you can

01:09:35.160 update that

01:09:35.660 number.

01:09:36.060 If it's

01:09:36.420 true,

01:09:36.960 if you can

01:09:37.500 back it

01:09:37.880 up,

01:09:38.040 that would

01:09:38.340 be really

01:09:38.700 interesting.

01:09:40.100 But Grok 0.88

01:09:40.720 is not

01:09:41.120 aware of

01:09:42.240 any,

01:09:42.780 it gave

01:09:43.220 lots of

01:09:43.600 details of

01:09:44.160 what they

01:09:44.440 are spending.

01:09:45.260 It was

01:09:45.520 nowhere near

01:09:46.200 that number.

01:09:47.240 It was

01:09:47.400 still big,

01:09:48.340 but more

01:09:49.100 like a few

01:09:49.580 hundred thousand.

01:09:51.660 So,

01:09:52.460 probably fake.

01:09:56.980 Trump just

01:09:57.740 signed some

01:09:58.240 executive order

01:09:59.220 that they

01:09:59.920 say will,

01:10:01.600 according to

01:10:02.080 the post-millennial,

01:10:03.100 it will

01:10:03.400 supercharge

01:10:04.180 pediatric

01:10:04.780 cancer research

01:10:06.060 research with

01:10:06.300 AI.

01:10:07.800 Now,

01:10:08.400 that's a

01:10:08.720 good idea.

01:10:09.660 So,

01:10:09.860 I think it's

01:10:10.240 mostly an

01:10:10.860 AI-related

01:10:11.580 thing,

01:10:11.980 but they

01:10:12.220 want to

01:10:12.560 direct the

01:10:13.140 AI looking

01:10:14.140 at all

01:10:14.460 the,

01:10:15.060 apparently

01:10:15.440 they have

01:10:16.020 immense amounts

01:10:17.620 of cancer

01:10:18.320 data that

01:10:19.860 would be

01:10:20.200 relevant to

01:10:21.060 childhood,

01:10:21.680 but they

01:10:22.160 don't really

01:10:22.700 have an

01:10:23.580 excellent way

01:10:24.320 to see what

01:10:25.400 that data

01:10:25.860 means,

01:10:26.480 which is

01:10:27.000 strange.

01:10:27.360 I would

01:10:27.680 think that

01:10:28.040 they would

01:10:28.340 have.

01:10:29.080 But,

01:10:29.340 apparently,

01:10:29.900 they're going

01:10:30.100 to fix

01:10:30.400 that.

01:10:32.120 And,

01:10:32.720 you know

01:10:32.900 what I

01:10:33.200 say,

01:10:34.740 faster,

01:10:35.500 please.

01:10:36.780 Because if

01:10:37.460 they fix

01:10:37.940 it for

01:10:38.260 children,

01:10:39.260 well,

01:10:40.040 you know,

01:10:40.360 they're not

01:10:40.660 going to be

01:10:40.940 working on

01:10:41.380 prostate cancer

01:10:42.240 for children,

01:10:43.420 but they

01:10:44.260 might learn

01:10:45.200 something about

01:10:45.840 cancer that

01:10:46.420 could be

01:10:46.680 useful,

01:10:47.560 keep me

01:10:47.880 alive a few

01:10:48.420 more years.

01:10:49.260 Here's some

01:10:49.620 more good

01:10:49.980 news.

01:10:51.580 The U.S.

01:10:52.360 Department of

01:10:52.780 Energy is

01:10:54.060 going to

01:10:55.540 take a 5%

01:10:56.660 ownership stake

01:10:57.680 in Lithium

01:10:58.540 America's

01:10:59.500 Corp.,

01:11:00.620 which I

01:11:01.120 didn't know

01:11:01.520 this,

01:11:02.180 but apparently

01:11:02.680 Lithium

01:11:03.560 America's

01:11:04.260 Corp.

01:11:04.700 owns rights

01:11:06.420 to look for

01:11:07.100 lithium in

01:11:07.840 a giant,

01:11:10.600 what do you

01:11:11.240 call it,

01:11:11.640 when a

01:11:11.960 volcano is

01:11:12.740 dead?

01:11:13.620 What's that

01:11:14.000 big volcano

01:11:14.840 hole?

01:11:16.220 Well,

01:11:16.400 anyway,

01:11:16.840 the volcano,

01:11:17.920 the non-active

01:11:19.980 volcano,

01:11:20.620 apparently has

01:11:21.100 the largest

01:11:21.860 lithium deposits

01:11:23.500 in the world,

01:11:25.060 in America.

01:11:26.440 So,

01:11:26.740 America has 0.83

01:11:27.380 the largest

01:11:28.160 lithium deposit

01:11:29.200 in the world.

01:11:31.560 The only thing

01:11:32.520 we don't have

01:11:33.200 is the

01:11:33.680 efficient way

01:11:34.480 to get it

01:11:35.580 legally.

01:11:37.920 So,

01:11:38.760 the U.S.

01:11:39.460 Department

01:11:39.720 takes a 5%

01:11:40.620 ownership,

01:11:41.560 which presumably

01:11:42.620 will help them

01:11:44.060 get the

01:11:44.720 resources and

01:11:46.840 the approvals

01:11:47.520 and the

01:11:48.040 regulations that

01:11:48.860 they need.

01:11:49.940 Now,

01:11:50.900 my question

01:11:51.600 is this,

01:11:52.160 how many

01:11:52.700 companies

01:11:54.440 has the

01:11:55.640 U.S.

01:11:56.200 taken an

01:11:56.700 equity

01:11:57.060 position in?

01:11:58.200 Intel,

01:11:59.660 and there

01:12:00.700 was another

01:12:01.120 one?

01:12:02.400 A few.

01:12:03.120 I feel like

01:12:04.020 we already

01:12:04.460 have

01:12:04.920 taken the

01:12:06.620 value of

01:12:07.160 something that

01:12:07.820 will easily

01:12:08.400 be a few

01:12:09.240 hundred billion

01:12:10.040 dollars,

01:12:11.440 maybe not

01:12:11.880 right away,

01:12:12.520 but fairly

01:12:13.140 easily will be

01:12:14.220 worth a few

01:12:14.800 hundred billion

01:12:16.580 dollars,

01:12:17.140 a few hundred

01:12:17.580 billion dollars.

01:12:18.420 And it

01:12:19.420 makes me

01:12:19.780 wonder,

01:12:20.240 since I

01:12:20.620 like this

01:12:21.060 model,

01:12:21.700 where the

01:12:22.060 government

01:12:22.340 takes a

01:12:22.840 small piece

01:12:23.520 of equity

01:12:24.040 in return

01:12:25.180 for being

01:12:25.700 a more,

01:12:26.460 let's say,

01:12:26.900 active

01:12:27.320 participant in

01:12:28.320 the company's

01:12:29.320 success,

01:12:29.840 where the

01:12:30.200 government

01:12:30.540 makes a

01:12:31.180 difference,

01:12:31.840 I kind

01:12:32.440 of like

01:12:32.760 it.

01:12:33.680 I kind

01:12:33.960 of like

01:12:34.260 it.

01:12:34.920 And it

01:12:36.260 makes you

01:12:36.640 wonder if

01:12:37.400 we could

01:12:37.760 get to

01:12:38.500 paying off

01:12:39.640 the entire

01:12:40.040 debt that

01:12:40.520 way.

01:12:43.440 Cats.

01:12:45.400 So,

01:12:46.200 I feel like

01:12:47.100 we could get

01:12:47.620 to a

01:12:48.040 trillion

01:12:48.480 dollars in

01:12:49.240 equity with

01:12:50.960 maybe half

01:12:51.980 a dozen

01:12:52.300 more deals.

01:12:53.700 That would

01:12:54.020 all make

01:12:54.360 sense.

01:12:54.860 That would

01:12:55.060 make sense

01:12:55.460 for the

01:12:55.740 company,

01:12:56.260 that would

01:12:56.420 make sense

01:12:56.900 for the

01:12:57.260 government,

01:12:57.960 and it

01:12:58.540 wouldn't be

01:12:59.040 fascist, 0.85

01:13:00.060 because they

01:13:00.400 would just

01:13:00.680 have a

01:13:00.960 little equity,

01:13:01.580 just a

01:13:01.940 taste.

01:13:03.180 I feel

01:13:03.940 like we

01:13:06.000 couldn't pay

01:13:06.520 off the

01:13:06.880 entire $37

01:13:07.820 trillion debt,

01:13:09.300 but we

01:13:10.400 would at

01:13:10.720 least get

01:13:11.240 on the

01:13:11.760 ride that

01:13:13.600 can go

01:13:14.260 up,

01:13:15.160 whereas taxes

01:13:16.100 can't go

01:13:16.580 up that

01:13:16.860 much.

01:13:17.180 You know

01:13:17.500 what I

01:13:17.660 mean?

01:13:18.580 So,

01:13:19.020 if you

01:13:19.300 check in

01:13:19.720 five years

01:13:20.480 and the

01:13:20.780 government

01:13:21.080 has taken

01:13:21.580 a bunch

01:13:21.920 of equity,

01:13:23.040 in five

01:13:23.560 years that

01:13:24.080 equity may

01:13:24.760 have doubled

01:13:26.160 in value.

01:13:27.320 It may

01:13:27.540 have tripled

01:13:28.060 in value

01:13:28.580 because of

01:13:29.200 the government's

01:13:29.800 value.

01:13:30.580 So,

01:13:31.180 we may

01:13:31.540 have found

01:13:32.500 a way to

01:13:33.080 pay off

01:13:33.660 $5 trillion

01:13:35.440 without raising

01:13:37.720 taxes.

01:13:39.280 I mean,

01:13:39.440 just think

01:13:39.800 about it.

01:13:40.960 This model

01:13:42.160 of if you

01:13:43.380 add tariffs

01:13:44.340 to taking

01:13:46.060 equity,

01:13:47.220 suddenly you

01:13:47.680 have two,

01:13:49.540 it's not,

01:13:50.320 you know,

01:13:50.460 the tariffs I

01:13:51.100 understand often

01:13:51.960 come from the

01:13:52.680 domestic

01:13:53.140 importers,

01:13:54.920 but still,

01:13:56.680 it's creating

01:13:57.540 a non-directly

01:13:59.860 taxed way

01:14:00.840 to,

01:14:01.540 you know,

01:14:02.220 take a bite

01:14:02.700 out of that

01:14:03.300 debt.

01:14:05.540 Maybe.

01:14:06.640 That could 0.68

01:14:07.020 be good

01:14:07.360 news.

01:14:08.060 I do like

01:14:08.600 the government

01:14:10.000 taking equity

01:14:10.960 if it's a

01:14:11.940 small part.

01:14:13.360 Anything

01:14:13.720 over 10%

01:14:14.960 would start,

01:14:17.240 that would

01:14:17.580 be bothersome.

01:14:18.920 But up to

01:14:19.400 about 10%,

01:14:20.400 yeah,

01:14:21.120 sometimes.

01:14:24.260 All right,

01:14:26.220 the lithium

01:14:27.180 America stocks

01:14:28.120 already went

01:14:28.740 up 130%,

01:14:30.080 I think,

01:14:31.060 just on

01:14:31.500 announcements

01:14:32.040 or suspicions

01:14:33.260 of the deal.

01:14:34.500 I don't know

01:14:35.060 if we're

01:14:35.440 already part

01:14:36.240 of that,

01:14:37.340 because if

01:14:37.960 we already

01:14:38.540 had our

01:14:39.060 deal,

01:14:41.040 did we

01:14:41.420 already get

01:14:41.820 the upside?

01:14:43.100 Or did the

01:14:43.600 upside happen

01:14:44.260 before the

01:14:44.940 equity was

01:14:46.340 granted?

01:14:47.060 I don't know.

01:14:48.240 But Trump

01:14:49.080 picking up

01:14:49.720 free money

01:14:50.280 for the

01:14:50.640 country,

01:14:51.260 I will

01:14:51.700 never,

01:14:52.260 I'll never

01:14:52.960 dislike that.

01:14:55.080 Well,

01:14:55.640 as you know,

01:14:56.340 there's all

01:14:56.720 these drone

01:14:57.340 sightings over

01:14:58.040 in Europe,

01:14:58.580 so now we've

01:14:59.040 had,

01:14:59.880 and they think

01:15:00.640 it might be

01:15:01.080 Russian drones,

01:15:02.060 but now we've

01:15:03.760 seen Denmark

01:15:04.400 and Estonia

01:15:05.140 and Poland

01:15:05.660 and Romania,

01:15:06.720 and now the

01:15:07.320 latest is

01:15:08.660 Germany.

01:15:09.880 We've got some

01:15:10.640 drones that they

01:15:11.660 can't identify

01:15:12.460 and didn't shoot

01:15:13.160 down,

01:15:13.620 but they look

01:15:14.100 like they're

01:15:14.600 surveilling

01:15:15.660 important

01:15:16.500 infrastructure.

01:15:18.640 So,

01:15:19.280 what do you

01:15:20.340 think this is?

01:15:21.460 Is it possible

01:15:22.300 that each of

01:15:23.380 these countries

01:15:23.940 is just saying

01:15:24.760 domestic drones,

01:15:26.500 but they don't

01:15:27.640 know what they're

01:15:28.000 seeing,

01:15:28.720 so they're just

01:15:29.260 imagining that

01:15:30.160 it's more of a

01:15:31.780 Russia problem,

01:15:32.580 because everything's

01:15:33.280 a Russia problem,

01:15:34.480 or is Putin

01:15:36.500 showing NATO

01:15:37.480 that NATO

01:15:38.300 has no air

01:15:39.060 defense?

01:15:40.300 Because if it

01:15:42.120 is Putin,

01:15:43.560 he is in fact,

01:15:45.220 country by country,

01:15:47.120 proving that they

01:15:47.900 have no air

01:15:48.620 defense.

01:15:50.040 Now,

01:15:50.600 you notice that

01:15:51.260 France is not 0.92

01:15:54.140 on the list

01:15:54.780 yet.

01:15:56.400 Would France

01:15:57.520 have a more

01:15:58.700 robust air

01:15:59.540 defense?

01:16:00.020 and maybe

01:16:00.940 that's why

01:16:01.420 they haven't

01:16:02.080 been challenged

01:16:02.720 with drones?

01:16:03.820 What about

01:16:04.400 England?

01:16:05.720 Does England

01:16:06.240 have a little

01:16:06.900 bit better

01:16:07.440 air defense?

01:16:09.280 Because if

01:16:10.420 Putin knew

01:16:13.000 that these

01:16:14.800 would be easy

01:16:15.480 targets with

01:16:16.220 no air

01:16:16.580 defense,

01:16:17.280 let's call

01:16:17.740 it,

01:16:18.220 I'll just

01:16:18.620 name them

01:16:18.980 again,

01:16:20.300 what is it,

01:16:24.080 Estonian,

01:16:25.220 Germany,

01:16:26.040 and Denmark,

01:16:26.600 and Romania

01:16:29.000 and Poland,

01:16:30.400 I don't

01:16:30.920 imagine that

01:16:31.640 their air

01:16:32.120 defenses would

01:16:32.860 be as

01:16:33.280 robust as

01:16:34.180 say France

01:16:34.920 or England.

01:16:36.260 Is that

01:16:36.600 fair to

01:16:36.960 say?

01:16:37.720 I don't

01:16:38.360 think Germany

01:16:38.920 had a

01:16:39.280 robust air

01:16:40.080 defense.

01:16:41.440 So it

01:16:42.040 could be

01:16:42.680 that what

01:16:43.480 Putin is

01:16:43.920 doing is

01:16:44.480 he's preparing

01:16:47.060 for negotiations,

01:16:48.520 that's one

01:16:49.040 possibility,

01:16:49.880 and the one

01:16:50.420 way you

01:16:50.720 could do

01:16:51.000 that is

01:16:51.440 to show

01:16:51.800 the weakness

01:16:52.520 of NATO

01:16:53.520 as an

01:16:54.420 ability to

01:16:55.140 fight.

01:16:55.620 Because if

01:16:57.180 NATO doesn't

01:16:58.040 know it can

01:16:58.600 fight and

01:16:59.200 win,

01:17:00.540 it's going

01:17:01.500 to be an

01:17:01.780 air battle

01:17:02.260 if there's

01:17:02.680 any battle

01:17:03.100 at all,

01:17:03.520 it'll be

01:17:03.760 in the air.

01:17:04.800 If Russia 0.80

01:17:05.920 can prove

01:17:06.620 that to

01:17:07.080 NATO,

01:17:07.740 look,

01:17:08.080 I'm going

01:17:08.320 to prove

01:17:08.760 to you

01:17:09.120 that you

01:17:09.760 could not

01:17:10.180 defend against

01:17:10.880 our attacks.

01:17:12.040 You can't

01:17:12.460 even detect

01:17:13.420 our drones

01:17:14.120 for,

01:17:15.480 let's say,

01:17:16.520 four out of

01:17:17.040 five of

01:17:17.440 your NATO

01:17:17.920 countries.

01:17:19.940 That would

01:17:20.700 be a

01:17:21.480 somewhat

01:17:22.020 brilliant

01:17:22.700 persuasion

01:17:23.440 because you

01:17:25.060 wouldn't have

01:17:25.500 to even

01:17:25.820 know for

01:17:26.260 sure it

01:17:26.620 was Russia,

01:17:27.740 right?

01:17:28.620 All you'd

01:17:29.240 have to

01:17:29.480 know is

01:17:30.020 that all

01:17:30.360 these

01:17:30.600 countries

01:17:31.020 can't

01:17:31.500 control

01:17:31.820 their

01:17:32.040 airspace,

01:17:32.920 and those

01:17:33.780 countries

01:17:34.180 have to

01:17:34.560 think about

01:17:35.080 that.

01:17:36.100 Oh, 1.00

01:17:36.740 damn, 1.00

01:17:37.200 we don't 1.00

01:17:38.420 have any

01:17:38.960 control over

01:17:39.660 our airspace,

01:17:40.560 none.

01:17:41.820 And that's

01:17:42.340 being proven

01:17:42.860 every day.

01:17:43.780 The other

01:17:44.120 possibility

01:17:44.680 is that

01:17:45.780 Putin is

01:17:47.460 collecting data

01:17:48.560 for an

01:17:49.140 attack,

01:17:51.120 and so he's

01:17:52.620 looking at

01:17:53.060 where they can

01:17:53.620 attack the

01:17:54.140 best.

01:17:55.660 Because remember,

01:17:56.760 Trump has

01:17:57.620 now authorized

01:17:58.560 long-term or

01:17:59.800 long-range

01:18:00.620 attacks by

01:18:02.120 Ukraine deep

01:18:04.580 into Russia to

01:18:05.840 go after their 0.94

01:18:06.400 critical infrastructure

01:18:07.680 like their energy

01:18:08.560 infrastructure in

01:18:09.380 particular.

01:18:10.460 Remember I told

01:18:11.240 you that the

01:18:12.740 Ukraine war was

01:18:14.600 going to turn

01:18:15.080 into two

01:18:15.520 things, a

01:18:17.000 robot war on

01:18:17.920 the front line,

01:18:19.480 drones being

01:18:20.240 robots, but

01:18:22.020 also ground

01:18:22.600 robots, and

01:18:23.720 that instead

01:18:24.580 of trying to 0.88

01:18:25.100 kill people, 0.98

01:18:26.440 the robots 0.98

01:18:27.200 would try to 0.73

01:18:27.720 kill the

01:18:28.160 energy production 0.97

01:18:29.140 in Russia,

01:18:30.080 and they'd

01:18:30.540 only have to

01:18:31.000 get about

01:18:31.320 20% of it

01:18:32.440 before Russia

01:18:33.740 would have to

01:18:34.320 make a deal,

01:18:35.600 because that

01:18:36.280 would be,

01:18:36.860 20% would be

01:18:38.400 cataclysmic.

01:18:39.660 So it

01:18:42.920 could be

01:18:43.740 that Russia 0.72

01:18:47.920 is just

01:18:48.540 stiffening up

01:18:49.700 because of

01:18:50.960 that.

01:18:52.860 So the

01:18:53.780 courts in

01:18:54.660 Germany have

01:18:55.740 backed

01:18:56.500 surveilling of

01:18:57.560 the far-right,

01:18:58.520 what they call

01:18:59.000 the far-right

01:18:59.720 anti-immigration

01:19:01.300 group, the

01:19:03.160 AFD.

01:19:04.200 So that would

01:19:04.600 be the right-wing

01:19:05.500 group that's

01:19:06.800 picking up

01:19:07.400 influence in

01:19:09.380 Germany, but

01:19:10.600 if, because

01:19:13.080 they're accused

01:19:14.560 as a group,

01:19:16.300 you know, not

01:19:16.740 every person in

01:19:17.600 the group, but

01:19:18.120 as a group,

01:19:19.100 they've been

01:19:19.420 accused of

01:19:20.740 saying things

01:19:23.060 that were

01:19:23.800 directed against

01:19:24.860 the human

01:19:25.480 dignity of

01:19:26.320 foreigners, in 1.00

01:19:27.380 particular asylum

01:19:28.380 seekers, as

01:19:29.620 quote, ethnic

01:19:30.600 strangers.

01:19:32.400 So because the

01:19:33.340 far-right was

01:19:35.000 saying that the

01:19:35.640 people coming

01:19:36.300 in with

01:19:36.920 immigration were

01:19:38.720 so different

01:19:39.460 from the

01:19:40.140 Germans that 0.69

01:19:41.640 that was

01:19:42.000 causing a

01:19:42.540 problem in

01:19:43.080 Germany.

01:19:44.480 So I guess

01:19:45.400 just saying

01:19:46.320 that they're

01:19:46.840 ethnic strangers

01:19:47.940 was enough

01:19:48.880 to authorize

01:19:50.600 surveillance of

01:19:52.080 all of the

01:19:52.880 phones of

01:19:54.780 everybody in

01:19:55.420 the party.

01:19:56.760 I think, I

01:19:58.040 think that's

01:19:58.440 what it's

01:19:58.660 saying.

01:19:59.560 Now, what

01:20:00.840 would happen

01:20:01.440 if somebody

01:20:03.840 like me went

01:20:04.720 to Germany?

01:20:07.000 Would I be

01:20:08.140 automatically

01:20:08.920 breaking a

01:20:11.040 law because

01:20:11.660 of things I

01:20:12.240 had said,

01:20:13.040 like even

01:20:13.560 during this

01:20:14.060 podcast?

01:20:15.720 Would Germany 0.62

01:20:16.660 say, oh,

01:20:18.000 here's your

01:20:18.440 social media

01:20:19.280 thing, you

01:20:20.300 can't say

01:20:20.760 that because

01:20:22.000 you may have

01:20:23.680 insulted

01:20:24.220 strangers in

01:20:25.960 your own

01:20:26.740 way?

01:20:28.460 Would I be

01:20:29.280 in trouble,

01:20:30.260 or would I be

01:20:30.940 automatically

01:20:31.500 surveilled if I

01:20:32.680 entered the

01:20:33.100 country because

01:20:34.120 I had a

01:20:34.660 background of

01:20:35.400 saying, hmm,

01:20:36.500 not every

01:20:37.120 kind of

01:20:37.780 immigration is

01:20:39.020 good for the

01:20:39.480 country, just

01:20:41.160 commonsensical

01:20:42.220 things, which

01:20:43.400 is what their

01:20:44.080 far right is

01:20:44.920 doing, just

01:20:45.400 common sense.

01:20:48.380 I don't

01:20:48.680 know, but

01:20:49.780 they, anyway,

01:20:53.800 here's what I

01:20:57.520 would say about

01:20:58.140 the AFD.

01:20:59.340 I believe that

01:21:00.140 they're in

01:21:00.620 defense mode,

01:21:02.060 not political

01:21:03.280 mode.

01:21:04.600 Now, it's

01:21:05.000 political, of

01:21:05.720 course, but

01:21:06.960 when they're

01:21:07.320 saying, this

01:21:08.980 immigration coming

01:21:09.940 in, this

01:21:10.380 isn't like,

01:21:11.840 let's argue

01:21:12.760 about tax rates

01:21:13.700 or something.

01:21:14.260 They're saying

01:21:14.720 that we're 0.59

01:21:15.220 dead if you

01:21:16.580 keep doing 0.98

01:21:17.080 this.

01:21:17.420 We're just

01:21:18.000 dead.

01:21:19.680 So, from

01:21:20.740 their perspective,

01:21:21.680 they're engaged

01:21:22.620 not in politics

01:21:23.540 as much as

01:21:24.340 literally self-defense.

01:21:26.440 And you know

01:21:26.820 what I say

01:21:27.200 about self-defense?

01:21:28.100 There are no

01:21:29.720 rules in

01:21:30.260 self-defense.

01:21:32.120 Self-defense

01:21:32.960 doesn't have

01:21:33.460 rules.

01:21:34.640 There's no

01:21:35.240 morality rule.

01:21:36.260 There's no

01:21:36.620 ethic rule.

01:21:38.020 There's just

01:21:38.500 self-defense.

01:21:41.240 It's one of

01:21:41.960 those things that

01:21:42.480 it takes you a

01:21:43.040 moment to realize

01:21:43.820 that that's true.

01:21:45.220 No.

01:21:46.060 If somebody's

01:21:46.740 going to kill

01:21:47.380 you or your 1.00

01:21:47.960 family right

01:21:48.720 now, but the

01:21:50.320 only way you

01:21:50.820 can stop it is

01:21:51.560 something that

01:21:52.120 someone else would

01:21:53.220 call unethical,

01:21:54.640 that's not a

01:21:55.260 boundary.

01:21:56.380 Save your

01:21:56.740 family.

01:21:58.100 Self-defense

01:21:59.080 does not have

01:22:00.980 to be gated

01:22:01.560 by right or

01:22:02.220 wrong.

01:22:03.060 So, that's

01:22:03.440 what the

01:22:03.800 political right

01:22:04.600 in Germany

01:22:05.100 understands,

01:22:05.900 that they're

01:22:06.280 involved in

01:22:06.780 self-defense

01:22:07.480 when it

01:22:08.100 comes to

01:22:08.440 immigration.

01:22:10.080 The people

01:22:11.260 in charge

01:22:11.880 apparently think

01:22:13.320 it's a

01:22:13.820 political or

01:22:15.640 wokeness or

01:22:18.180 rudeness or

01:22:19.320 bad behavior

01:22:20.280 thing.

01:22:21.440 Not when

01:22:22.100 it's self-defense.

01:22:23.660 That would be

01:22:24.420 true if it

01:22:24.960 were not

01:22:25.440 self-defense.

01:22:26.580 If people

01:22:27.160 were saying,

01:22:28.060 no, we

01:22:28.300 just don't

01:22:28.700 like them

01:22:29.240 because,

01:22:30.040 you know,

01:22:30.240 they, whatever

01:22:31.800 they say.

01:22:32.900 If it wasn't

01:22:33.840 to protect

01:22:35.160 their lives

01:22:36.300 and, you

01:22:37.660 know, their

01:22:38.000 country as

01:22:39.880 Germany,

01:22:41.600 then you

01:22:43.100 could argue

01:22:43.640 this is, you

01:22:44.440 know, this

01:22:44.740 is bad

01:22:45.100 behavior.

01:22:46.180 You know, we

01:22:46.460 don't insult

01:22:47.100 people and

01:22:48.080 call them

01:22:48.440 different and

01:22:49.100 call them

01:22:49.420 strangers just

01:22:51.220 because they're

01:22:51.620 different.

01:22:52.740 I wouldn't be

01:22:53.520 in favor of

01:22:54.020 that.

01:22:54.360 I mean, I

01:22:54.960 like free

01:22:55.420 speech, but

01:22:55.980 I wouldn't

01:22:56.240 be in favor

01:22:56.720 of that

01:22:57.540 particular

01:22:57.960 brand of

01:22:58.580 it.

01:22:59.980 But once

01:23:00.660 it becomes

01:23:01.220 self-defense,

01:23:03.460 which is what

01:23:04.060 this clearly

01:23:04.780 is at this

01:23:05.560 point, is

01:23:05.980 clearly self-defense,

01:23:07.840 then no, I

01:23:08.920 think the

01:23:09.360 political right

01:23:10.180 doesn't have to

01:23:10.960 apologize for

01:23:11.640 anything.

01:23:12.480 They have to

01:23:12.920 stay out of

01:23:13.380 jail.

01:23:14.180 I don't know

01:23:14.620 how they're

01:23:14.860 going to do

01:23:15.240 that, but

01:23:16.560 they don't

01:23:16.780 have to

01:23:17.060 apologize.

01:23:17.460 meanwhile, at

01:23:21.600 the Tulsa

01:23:22.400 State Fair,

01:23:23.400 apparently

01:23:23.740 they've got

01:23:24.300 drones and

01:23:25.080 all kinds

01:23:25.520 of AI and

01:23:27.000 facial detection

01:23:29.160 so that you

01:23:30.300 can have,

01:23:32.400 they'll take a

01:23:32.980 picture of your

01:23:33.520 child, so if

01:23:35.220 your child gets

01:23:35.840 separated from

01:23:36.620 you, they

01:23:37.140 can almost

01:23:37.580 instantly find

01:23:38.560 it with a

01:23:39.040 drone or

01:23:39.660 something else,

01:23:41.140 which I kind

01:23:42.200 of like.

01:23:43.280 I kind of

01:23:44.180 like that you

01:23:45.000 could go there

01:23:46.100 and not worry

01:23:46.580 about losing

01:23:47.080 your kid, you

01:23:48.700 know, if you

01:23:49.220 split up, and

01:23:51.380 I like that, you

01:23:52.440 know, it would

01:23:52.740 be much harder

01:23:54.080 for somebody to

01:23:54.660 try to kidnap

01:23:55.400 your kid or

01:23:56.160 get your kid

01:23:56.860 out of the

01:23:57.320 park if the

01:23:58.420 kid had been

01:23:58.920 ID'd before

01:23:59.900 then, so I

01:24:01.320 can see why

01:24:01.820 they'd like it,

01:24:02.500 and they also

01:24:03.300 say that they

01:24:03.880 will catch

01:24:04.380 people who

01:24:05.280 have outstanding

01:24:06.300 warrants, but

01:24:08.100 it's super

01:24:09.180 creepy, super,

01:24:11.560 super creepy,

01:24:12.260 because it's

01:24:13.100 not just the

01:24:13.700 kids, they're

01:24:14.400 going to take

01:24:15.240 everybody's

01:24:15.840 face, so, you

01:24:18.700 know, there

01:24:19.020 goes your

01:24:20.020 privacy at the

01:24:20.820 fair.

01:24:22.060 Would you go

01:24:23.000 to the fair if

01:24:23.600 you knew that

01:24:24.120 it would cost

01:24:24.680 you your

01:24:24.980 privacy?

01:24:27.620 Probably, because

01:24:29.080 the only reason

01:24:29.580 people go to

01:24:30.160 the fair is that

01:24:30.860 their kids are

01:24:31.560 bugging them.

01:24:33.260 I don't think

01:24:34.040 people go to

01:24:34.580 the fair for

01:24:35.100 any other

01:24:35.580 reason than

01:24:36.100 their kids

01:24:36.660 are bugging

01:24:37.940 them.

01:24:39.220 At least that's

01:24:39.880 the local fair

01:24:40.600 here, that would

01:24:41.320 be true.

01:24:42.260 Yeah, let's

01:24:44.800 see.

01:24:46.000 Oh, that was

01:24:46.540 my last story.

01:24:49.120 It went a

01:24:49.380 little long.

01:24:50.060 Sorry it

01:24:50.400 went long.

01:24:50.900 I hope you

01:24:51.280 enjoyed it

01:24:51.840 anyway.

01:24:52.580 I'm going to

01:24:52.880 talk privately

01:24:53.780 to the members

01:24:55.160 of locals, my

01:24:56.820 beloved members

01:24:58.720 of locals.

01:24:59.440 Don't you wish

01:24:59.980 you were beloved?
