Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2977 CWSA 10⧸03⧸25

00:00:00.000 Come on in.

00:00:01.640 Getting ready for the show.

00:00:04.500 Luckily, I'm still live, but only barely.

00:00:09.140 I had a little excitement this morning.

00:00:14.440 So, I don't know if most of you know that I do a pre-show before I do this every day.

00:00:21.440 And the pre-show is just me feeding the cats.

00:00:24.180 And I take a few putts on my putting green and play some drums.

00:00:28.860 And basically, just get ready for the show while the chatters are talking to each other for the most part.

00:00:35.780 A lot of people think it's the best part of what I do.

00:00:39.240 But this morning, I had a little problem on my stairs.

00:00:46.360 And I fell down the stairs.

00:00:49.040 I'm not injured.

00:00:51.020 But my legs are weakened because I've had so much leg pain that I've been sitting and not walking.

00:00:57.400 So, one of my legs was so weak, my left leg, that the first time I went up the stairs this morning, I thought, hmm, it felt a little shaky.

00:01:10.340 So, you know, I always make sure I'm holding on the rails.

00:01:12.880 I'm at that age where you never walk up downstairs without holding the rails.

00:01:16.560 But I forgot something downstairs, my iPad.

00:01:21.960 So, I went back downstairs and turned around.

00:01:25.220 You want to see me on live video falling down my own stairs?

00:01:30.720 So, this is what the live stream audience saw just a few minutes ago.

00:01:35.600 I just had to get my iPad.

00:01:45.200 Here I come.

00:01:47.600 I was only about 10 feet up the stairs.

00:01:50.580 It doesn't hurt.

00:01:52.680 Oh! 0.60

00:01:52.980 Oh! 0.60

00:02:00.820 I'm flat on my back on the bottom floor right now.

00:02:04.400 All right.

00:02:05.600 You're seeing my reflection now, not the...

00:02:11.180 I survived.

00:02:12.860 Yes, I didn't fall down the stairs.

00:02:17.220 So, that was exciting.

00:02:19.880 How's the stock market doing?

00:02:23.520 A little bit up.

00:02:25.500 A little bit up.

00:02:26.860 All right.

00:02:27.380 We'll take it.

00:02:29.220 We'll take it.

00:02:30.140 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:02:37.680 Do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:02:38.880 Do-do-do-do-do-do-do.

00:02:39.400 Yes, I will get an Apple Watch in case I fall down again.

00:02:44.600 Do-do-do-do-do.

00:02:45.820 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:02:52.480 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

00:02:56.380 But, if you'd like to take a chance on elevating your experience through levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains,

00:03:05.720 All you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or steinic emptying jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:03:13.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:03:15.100 I like coffee.

00:03:16.900 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:03:23.900 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and I will not be stopped.

00:03:27.840 Go.

00:03:28.120 Go.

00:03:28.180 Good stuff.

00:03:40.080 All right, we got some news.

00:03:42.100 You want some news today?

00:03:44.040 I'm going to put your comments up here so that I can more easily see them.

00:03:50.500 Come on.

00:03:51.840 Comments.

00:03:54.140 Do-do-do-do.

00:03:55.940 Get to the feed.

00:03:58.180 Come on, guys.

00:04:00.680 There we go.

00:04:03.140 Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-boom.

00:04:04.880 All right, we're all good to go now.

00:04:07.680 So, according to a Rasmussen poll, 84% of people are worried that online radicalization might drive more political violence.

00:04:20.320 84% are worried that online radicalization will drive more violence.

00:04:29.080 Where do people think it comes from?

00:04:31.860 If it doesn't come from online, what, do you think it came from your neighbor?

00:04:37.200 Did your neighbor get you all worked up to do some political violence?

00:04:40.460 What would it be except for online?

00:04:44.520 That's the only thing that gets us worked up about anything.

00:04:47.460 So, yeah, Rasmussen, I believe your poll is correct.

00:04:51.400 If not low, it should have been 100%.

00:04:54.500 Here's another one.

00:04:56.540 Let's see if you knew the answer to this one.

00:04:59.920 Eric Nolan in SciPost is writing about a new study that tries to determine why lesbian couples face a higher divorce risk.

00:05:10.620 Okay, now the funny part about this topic is that it's literally a famous comedy routine about why lesbians have more divorce. 0.80

00:05:25.000 But they looked into things like cohabitation length, prior children, and shared children, and they found out that those were not really very indicative, so they're not really predictive.

00:05:37.820 So, now their conclusion is that it's a mystery why lesbians have the highest divorce rate. 0.94

00:05:49.420 They couldn't figure out what the source problem was.

00:05:55.840 It's literally a comedy routine that everybody in the world understands.

00:05:59.820 If you put two women together, because women are usually the ones who initiate divorces, if you put the gender together that generally initiates the divorce, you get more divorces. 0.77

00:06:15.740 I think they could have just asked me.

00:06:18.300 I think they could have asked you, too.

00:06:21.000 Nope.

00:06:22.120 But whatever you do, don't say women are the problem.

00:06:25.760 All right, here's another one from a SciPost, Karina Petrova. 0.99

00:06:32.760 Again, probably could have saved a little money just by asking me.

00:06:37.440 But they found out, did a study to find out that your social status has a surprising, yeah, it's surprising, influence on your biological stress responses.

00:06:47.460 That the lower your perceived status, the more likely you'll be stressed out because you can't change anything.

00:06:55.880 Well, I can tell you that I had the experience of having no status, you know, as you do when you're a child.

00:07:05.600 And then I went to having no status as a young adult in my 20s and into my 30s, no real status at all.

00:07:16.320 But then Dilbert hit and I became a, you know, sort of a minor celebrity and I got some status.

00:07:22.740 I got to tell you that having success and, you know, associated status solves most of your stress.

00:07:31.280 I guarantee you that if you ever hit it big, you know, and you become either well-known and or rich or both, it will make you more relaxed.

00:07:46.400 You know, once you're famous, you can walk into any situation with no stress whatsoever because people come to you.

00:07:56.500 Let me give you just the cleanest example.

00:07:58.640 I get super stressed if I'm late for something.

00:08:04.700 You probably have that too, right?

00:08:06.600 Like if there's a meeting and, you know, people are already in the room, oh, that's the worst.

00:08:11.360 If they're already in the room and you're on the road, you know, you got caught up in traffic, that's really stressful.

00:08:18.020 So before I had status, if I were late, I would think, oh, God, people are going to hate me more, my status.

00:08:27.060 You know, I'll be, you know, creeping into the meeting late and, oh, God, and it would bother me.

00:08:33.740 Once I became famous, a weird thing happened that if I showed up late, the people who were already there would apologize for being early or some variation of that.

00:08:46.640 In other words, they would never get on me because they usually needed me to approve something or wanted to work with me or something.

00:08:53.040 So I would go from the thing that bothered me the most, being potentially late, to no problem at all.

00:09:02.280 It just disappears.

00:09:04.120 So, yes, the higher your status, it seems like it would be more work and more pressure.

00:09:10.300 In some ways it is.

00:09:11.380 But the benefits are just way, way better than the cost.

00:09:20.380 Did you lock the front door?

00:09:22.260 Check.

00:09:22.800 Close the garage door?

00:09:23.980 Yep.

00:09:24.460 Installed window sensors, smoke sensors, and HD cameras with night vision?

00:09:27.920 No.

00:09:28.820 And you set up credit card transaction alerts, a secure VPN for a private connection, and continuous monitoring for our personal info on the dark web?

00:09:34.560 Uh, I'm looking into it.

00:09:49.080 Well, according to Cell Press, AI was used to write nearly a quarter of corporate press releases in 2024.

00:09:56.660 Now, I have been involved with many, many press releases.

00:10:02.320 And let me tell you how press releases are written.

00:10:06.240 The, whoever's in charge of whatever entity is supposed to do the press release,

00:10:11.500 they look for the lowest, uh, the lowest, uh, ranked person in the office who can speak the language.

00:10:18.840 And then they say, write us up a, uh, press release and make sure that it's the most boring, you know,

00:10:27.260 looks like it came out of a form factory or something.

00:10:30.880 And, uh, whatever you do, don't make it interesting because that's the last thing you want to do.

00:10:35.260 So here's what I know that any of you who have been involved with a lot of press releases can confirm.

00:10:42.480 A press release always looked like AI wrote it.

00:10:46.740 It always looked like AI wrote it.

00:10:49.600 So to me, it seems like the most natural thing that you would replace with AI because it's not going to get worse.

00:10:55.600 I mean, press releases are just deadly boring.

00:10:59.740 And they're always, like I said, they're, the first draft is always written by the worst writer in the office.

00:11:06.120 I hate to say it.

00:11:07.660 First draft is always the worst writer.

00:11:09.980 And then it gets to the boss and the boss doesn't want to rewrite the whole thing.

00:11:14.240 So they just, you know, check the spelling or something.

00:11:17.280 And then it gets to me.

00:11:18.680 Let's say the press release is about me and I just don't give a fuck because I know nobody reads a press release.

00:11:25.340 So I have approved.

00:11:27.380 I can't tell you how many press releases about me that I've approved, you know, from publishers, et cetera, uh, that I didn't even read.

00:11:35.860 Because it doesn't matter.

00:11:37.820 Nobody else is going to read it either.

00:11:39.440 It's, it's the most unread document that will ever be created.

00:11:43.780 So yeah, a quarter of them going to AI makes sense to me.

00:11:47.160 Um, so open AI, uh, now has a Sora 2, uh, app that can generate realistic videos of, of people doing things.

00:12:02.520 And it's open AI and they decided to model the new ability by showing a realistic looking video of their CEO, Sam Altman, shoplifting at Target.

00:12:15.880 And it looks just like him and it sounds like him.

00:12:19.240 It looks like you shoplifting at Target.

00:12:21.660 And I'm thinking to myself, you know, I guess, I guess this app is so you can make content for stuff like meta and Instagram and TikTok and stuff.

00:12:31.600 It's sort of designed for what they call AI slop.

00:12:34.760 Have you heard that term yet?

00:12:37.220 AI slop, meaning that people are just generating all kinds of AI stuff.

00:12:42.320 And it's not all good.

00:12:44.140 You know, it's not all, it's not all sombrero stuff.

00:12:48.220 Uh, so they call it AI slop.

00:12:51.360 Anyway, so now we'll have video of every famous person shoplifting and committing crimes.

00:12:57.140 Step forward, step in the right direction.

00:13:00.120 And apparently Sora, Sora can't generate a continuous three minute video from a photo, like, but, uh, there's a app called long shot that can.

00:13:13.680 So I guess three minutes might be sort of the current record of how long a video you can make from, you know, a single prompt.

00:13:21.740 Um, but, and there's another one where you can splice together some shots of like a virtual room and you could splice it together.

00:13:31.280 So you, you walk through a bunch of virtual rooms, but it looks like it takes about six apps to make all that work.

00:13:37.580 So as far as I can tell, based on what I've seen so far, in order to make a movie using AI, you would need all of the skills of a movie maker.

00:13:50.340 So you'd have to know how to cast the right people, even though casting would be digital.

00:13:56.680 You'd have to still understand scripts and story and, you know, the, the nature of storytelling.

00:14:05.020 You'd have to be, um, you'd have to be basically a videographer so that you could say, oh, that's a, that's a good look and all that.

00:14:14.200 So I, you'd have to be an editor.

00:14:16.240 You'd have to be a director.

00:14:17.480 You'd have to still have to be a producer.

00:14:18.900 So it seems to me that the movie making business will probably no longer be the stupid people.

00:14:28.460 Don't you worry that movies were made by actors who just wanted a promotion?

00:14:33.560 So they sort of turned into directors, like you get kind of a promotion and that they weren't necessarily the smartest people you've ever met.

00:14:41.820 But it wasn't that hard because if you're a director, you have all these well-trained people who know how to do all the, the subtasks, right?

00:14:51.760 You don't have to be the videographer because you hired one, et cetera.

00:14:55.920 You don't have to be the lighting guy because you decided.

00:14:59.760 But now you would have to know a whole bunch about AI and how to use it.

00:15:05.980 You know, probably several different apps and they would be, they would be getting updated, those apps and they would, new ones would be coming online.

00:15:13.460 They were better.

00:15:14.020 You'd have to try them all the time and you would have to have all the movie skills.

00:15:19.440 But on top of that, in one person, because you couldn't really, it'd be hard to build something that you, that you delegated to other humans.

00:15:29.740 So you could delegate it to the AI, but you wouldn't want to delegate it to humans because then there'd be too many humans doing too many prompts with too many AIs.

00:15:39.040 It would be impossible.

00:15:40.680 So in order for somebody to make a proper movie, you would have to have the deepest talent stack that I can even imagine.

00:15:48.920 It would have to go all the way through AI, which is hard enough, but then it would have to include all of the movie making skill.

00:15:57.700 Who's going to be able to do that?

00:15:59.740 A few.

00:16:00.860 There will be a few people who can do that, but it wouldn't from, you know, you could randomly pick a hundred people and 80 of them could be a director.

00:16:11.100 But now if you had a hundred people, probably none of them, if it's only a hundred, probably not one person would have the skill to make a movie with AI, even a few years from now.

00:16:23.640 That's my guess.

00:16:24.640 Maybe one in a thousand.

00:16:25.720 Well, Meta is going to use your chat conversations with AI for ad targeting, but according to Reclaim the Net, Ken Makin is writing about that.

00:16:38.020 And I guess we all figure that, right?

00:16:41.760 If they can listen to you talking and send you ads based on what you're talking about in your kitchen, I'm not too surprised that they can give you an ad based on what you said on AI.

00:16:54.620 But do you think we're getting close to the point where the AI will directly give you an ad as an AI?

00:17:02.940 I need some suggestions where to eat.

00:17:04.800 And then the AI says, well, our sponsored restaurant is XYZ.

00:17:13.120 I'll bet that's where it's going, but they probably need to hold off on that until we're all hooked on AI to the point where we won't turn it off when it gives us a commercial.

00:17:22.640 We're not there yet.

00:17:25.080 This will sound like a little thing, but it might be a big thing.

00:17:28.180 And so that's from a post by Konstantinos Bousmalis.

00:17:34.980 He showed a video of a robot.

00:17:37.360 In this case, it was just a robot arm with a sense of vision, but it was an arm.

00:17:42.680 And it was teaching another arm how to do a task.

00:17:46.240 So the one arm knew how to put a lid on something or take something off a wall.

00:17:52.040 And then the other one just watched it.

00:17:54.340 And then it could learn it by watching it.

00:17:56.080 Now, if that doesn't seem like a big deal to you, you haven't been watching the robot space, it's the biggest of big deals.

00:18:04.620 If the robot can learn by observation, it's the biggest of big deals.

00:18:10.140 That's as big a deal as you can get.

00:18:12.820 That's just everything right there.

00:18:16.900 And it hasn't been able to do that.

00:18:19.860 So this might be the first indication that robots will work.

00:18:24.460 You know, they would have to learn by watching.

00:18:29.120 And I suppose if one of them learned by watching, then it can send a video to all the others and say, look what I learned by watching.

00:18:39.400 Perplexity, the AI company has now their Comet browser, it's called, is out.

00:18:44.080 And it works like an assistant.

00:18:47.080 So you can give it prompts and it will do a bunch of tasks.

00:18:51.120 Now, that's not the interesting part because there'll be a lot of those.

00:18:54.060 But the thing that was interesting to me is once AI becomes ubiquitous and every desk jockey has an AI and an AI assistant, which is coming,

00:19:05.460 I think it's a 100% chance that we'll all be talking to our AIs to get basic stuff done, right?

00:19:13.160 There's no question about that.

00:19:15.420 We'll all be using AI at our desk.

00:19:18.120 But what happens when people realize that the only really efficient way to do it is by voice?

00:19:25.600 Because you're going to get tired typing your super prompts all day long.

00:19:29.300 But if you could just talk to it, you will.

00:19:34.340 So does that mean that we'll have to work from home?

00:19:37.800 Because how in the world are we all going to be talking to our AIs in an open office?

00:19:43.460 Can't do it.

00:19:44.860 First of all, your AI would be listening to your cubicle mate and whoever walked in would trigger your AI and every other problem.

00:19:51.780 So I'm going to make a prediction that AI will drive remote work so that people can talk to their AI.

00:20:01.420 And then you're really going to hate it when your partner works at home.

00:20:04.740 Oh, man, you're going to hate that.

00:20:07.340 But at least it won't be at work.

00:20:09.580 There's a Gallup poll, Newsmax and others reporting,

00:20:13.640 that apparently the media approval is at a new all-time low.

00:20:19.640 So how many people do you – let's do a little test.

00:20:24.060 I like to test my audience for the new people.

00:20:27.060 You'll be amazed.

00:20:29.540 I'm going to see if you know before I tell you what percentage of people polled in the Gallup poll

00:20:36.540 think that the mainstream media is doing a good job.

00:20:43.280 What percentage think the mainstream media is doing a good job?

00:20:46.560 Oh, look at your guesses.

00:20:51.160 So accurate.

00:20:52.580 You're almost there, 28%.

00:20:54.340 Yep.

00:20:56.300 Most of you are betting 25 or 26.

00:21:00.120 But, yeah, 28%.

00:21:01.200 I'm going to give you full credit for your guesses.

00:21:04.240 Now, if you're new, are you wondering how everybody knew the right answer?

00:21:09.100 It's because we have jokingly but maybe accurately noted over the years

00:21:17.600 that something like a quarter of all people who answer polls have the dumbest possible answer,

00:21:25.120 the answer that no living, smart human should ever say.

00:21:29.380 Who in the world trusts the mainstream media?

00:21:32.100 How in the world can you say, oh, yeah, I've got a lot of trust for that mainstream media?

00:21:38.780 You would have to be paying no attention to anything.

00:21:42.400 And this is another one of those 25 percenters.

00:21:46.080 28 to be specific.

00:21:48.960 Well, did he – it's supposed to be his sentence today as it happened?

00:21:52.480 I mean, I'm in a different time zone, but did he get his sentence?

00:21:57.100 Could be as long as 10 years, prosecutors are asking,

00:22:00.500 because they dropped the worst charges, the RICO and stuff got dropped.

00:22:05.780 But defense is asking for time served, basically, one year.

00:22:12.140 That would be close to time served.

00:22:14.060 So he's either going to be released, time served,

00:22:17.760 or maybe he would get it up to 10 years.

00:22:20.520 So I guess he's teaching a business class to other inmates

00:22:26.020 so that he can get some, you know, sort of jail credibility.

00:22:30.620 So good for him, at least the teaching part.

00:22:35.400 How many of you know conservative online investigative reporter type Nick Sorter?

00:22:44.940 I quote him a lot, so he's a good follow.

00:22:47.800 Apparently he just got arrested in Portland.

00:22:50.520 He was attending, as a journalist attending,

00:22:55.400 to see what was happening at an Antifa event in Portland.

00:22:59.860 And I guess they set an American flag on fire and allegedly –

00:23:04.120 still fog of war, so we don't know exactly what happened.

00:23:07.460 But allegedly he may have tried to put it out.

00:23:11.580 Now, I don't know how you put out a burning American flag.

00:23:16.080 Stomp on it?

00:23:16.920 How exactly would you put it out?

00:23:19.840 If you threw water on it, I would think, well, that's, you know, respectful enough.

00:23:27.640 But if you had to stomp on it – I hope he didn't stomp on it.

00:23:31.460 Seems like that would be making it worse.

00:23:34.000 But we'll keep an eye on that.

00:23:35.980 I'm sure Nick will have an update whenever he's out.

00:23:39.320 He may be out already.

00:23:40.760 I don't know if he got really arrested or if they just – you know, I'm going to say –

00:23:46.700 well, I'll just say this so you've heard the alternative.

00:23:50.580 He might have been arrested because the police are assholes, right?

00:23:54.860 That's the first thing you think.

00:23:57.540 It's, oh, my God, the police are assholes if they arrested him for that.

00:24:01.060 But if they arrested him because that was the best way to get him out of the situation

00:24:06.120 because he might be, you know, beaten to death by Antifa,

00:24:09.740 then that was good police work.

00:24:11.760 So one possibility is that they were pretending to arrest him

00:24:15.500 just to get him out of the situation.

00:24:18.460 If that happened, good job.

00:24:21.340 Good job.

00:24:21.940 But we don't know that.

00:24:25.540 Andy Ngo is on Newsmax reminding us that he's well aware of Antifa trading events,

00:24:35.000 which apparently are happening all over the place,

00:24:37.120 and they're used to recruit and network and stuff.

00:24:39.620 So they have all these organized Antifa trading events,

00:24:43.500 and yet the Democrats say Antifa doesn't exist because it's –

00:24:48.620 you know, there's no leadership or organization.

00:24:50.660 Well, apparently it's self-organizing at the very least

00:24:54.260 because they can have all these trading events.

00:24:57.200 So if you're having trading events all over the nation, in fact, all over the world,

00:25:02.660 yeah, you're an organization.

00:25:05.260 And you could get RICO, in my opinion.

00:25:08.420 Well, Politico is writing – I didn't read the article, just the headline,

00:25:16.780 because the headline was good enough.

00:25:18.700 It said, half of America doesn't know who Hakeem Jeffries is,

00:25:22.700 but he's seizing on the shutdown fight to change that.

00:25:25.560 Now, as many of you know, the political competition between Democrats and Republicans

00:25:34.520 was at one time a fair fight.

00:25:37.880 Do you remember that?

00:25:39.060 It's like, wow, those Democrats are putting up a good fight.

00:25:42.800 They even won that one.

00:25:44.100 Ooh, they won that election.

00:25:45.920 Good fighting.

00:25:46.420 But now the Democrat Party is in full collapse,

00:25:51.900 and I can't think of anything that would be worse for the Democrat Party

00:25:55.880 than raising the profile of Hakeem Jeffries,

00:26:01.260 the most uncharismatic person besides Chuck Schumer.

00:26:05.600 The two of them are just famously uncharismatic.

00:26:09.500 Like, oh, my God, does the camera hate both of those motherfuckers. 0.71

00:26:14.400 You've heard, you know, the camera loves some people.

00:26:17.360 You know, some people just look good on camera.

00:26:19.500 And some people don't look good on camera.

00:26:23.040 It's more of a camera thing.

00:26:24.440 You know, they might look perfectly normal in person.

00:26:27.960 But both of these guys, Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer,

00:26:31.500 are terrible on camera.

00:26:33.860 I mean, just terrible.

00:26:36.020 And I wouldn't say that about everybody.

00:26:37.580 You know, AOC is great on camera.

00:26:41.800 You know, if you want the alternative, great on camera.

00:26:44.980 Momdami, he's great on camera.

00:26:48.060 But they've decided that in the shutdown,

00:26:50.240 they're going to put the two least likable Democrats forward.

00:26:56.200 Oh, my God, is Trump winning hard.

00:26:59.660 Every day that the Democrats are branding themselves

00:27:03.720 with Hakeem Jeffries and his sombrero,

00:27:06.160 and Schumer, every day that that goes on,

00:27:10.640 they get weaker.

00:27:11.800 Because nobody is looking at those two guys

00:27:14.700 and saying, ooh, lead me.

00:27:17.160 Lead me.

00:27:18.380 Nobody.

00:27:21.440 Anyway, so that's the next biggest mistake they're making.

00:27:25.460 So, apparently, the House Democrats decided,

00:27:28.960 as Jesse Waters was talking about this on Fox,

00:27:32.360 they decided that they would do this live stream,

00:27:35.740 that they would keep up for 24 hours.

00:27:38.780 It would be a 24-hour live stream

00:27:40.900 to just talk about the shutdown

00:27:42.960 so that nobody would, you know,

00:27:45.260 nobody would forget about it and they could get their message out.

00:27:47.640 And, apparently, at one point,

00:27:52.120 there were only 36 people watching them

00:27:54.440 and one of them was Fox News,

00:27:56.340 just to make fun of it.

00:27:59.080 And it only had 1,000 viewers at one point.

00:28:02.980 It was peaking live stream at 1,000 viewers.

00:28:05.740 And they decided to just take it down and give up.

00:28:09.200 They couldn't even pull off a podcast

00:28:12.360 because I saw the setup for the podcast

00:28:18.620 and it was just two guys you didn't want to look at

00:28:21.560 sitting awkwardly in chairs

00:28:23.720 with microphones in front of their faces.

00:28:26.080 They couldn't even get the basics right.

00:28:28.700 If you want somebody to look good on a podcast,

00:28:32.140 there are only two ways to do it.

00:28:36.560 Those people have to just look good.

00:28:39.320 That's one way.

00:28:40.260 Then it doesn't matter what they're doing.

00:28:41.580 They just look good.

00:28:42.840 The other way is you have to put them behind a desk

00:28:45.280 because at least it doesn't show their lower body

00:28:48.300 and at least it doesn't show their bad posture

00:28:50.340 and, you know, their little belly doesn't stick up 0.99

00:28:52.960 when they lean back in their chair.

00:28:56.040 But, no, they took two unappealing people 0.93

00:28:59.040 and put them in full-length chairs.

00:29:02.640 That's just not knowing how to do a podcast.

00:29:05.760 That's literally just not knowing how anything works.

00:29:09.140 Now, I did recently a podcast with Zuby

00:29:12.400 and the two of us had that same setup

00:29:16.040 with the separate chair that you could see the whole body.

00:29:20.040 And I'm looking at Zuby and I'm thinking,

00:29:21.820 damn it, if I look like him,

00:29:23.560 I'd feel pretty good in a full chair.

00:29:26.480 But at the moment, I'm not feeling too great

00:29:29.400 about my physicality.

00:29:31.500 So when I saw it played back, I thought,

00:29:33.400 you know, I'd look a lot better beyond a desk.

00:29:37.000 But Zuby looked great.

00:29:38.820 Zuby is great.

00:29:39.580 So 40 million registered Democrats,

00:29:44.500 but at one point they could get 36 of them

00:29:47.780 to watch that live stream.

00:29:50.180 They're just so not good at anything.

00:29:54.040 Well, Homeland Security, according to the Epoch Times,

00:29:56.920 removed five TSA officials

00:29:59.400 because they were involved in that Biden era thing

00:30:03.200 where they were putting people on the quiet skies.

00:30:05.640 We're going to follow you around if you try to fly.

00:30:08.840 Apparently that entire quiet skies thing

00:30:11.300 caught exactly zero bad guys.

00:30:14.160 All it did was take away freedom from,

00:30:17.740 and privacy from a whole bunch of Americans.

00:30:21.620 So do I think that those heads should be fired?

00:30:25.620 I do, I do.

00:30:27.360 Now they might've been just, you know,

00:30:28.660 following instructions,

00:30:31.420 but you really just can't have that in your government.

00:30:35.640 So I'm in favor of those firings.

00:30:39.520 All right.

00:30:44.280 So MSNBC is creating some fake news about P. Hegseth.

00:30:51.740 So they're doing the usual thing

00:30:53.900 where they take something out of context,

00:30:56.020 which is how, you know,

00:30:57.440 I think most Democrats were really worked up

00:31:00.260 about the risk and the badness of Republicans

00:31:04.500 almost entirely get their news out of context.

00:31:09.080 Have you noticed that?

00:31:10.580 If you could fix that one thing,

00:31:13.740 that there would be no out of context news,

00:31:16.880 it would change everything.

00:31:18.860 But, you know, the TV news especially,

00:31:21.360 they could just say stuff

00:31:22.560 and then not put it on anybody else who doubts it.

00:31:26.680 And that's the news.

00:31:28.280 So here's an example.

00:31:29.800 Do you remember when P. Hegseth was saying

00:31:31.760 that, you know,

00:31:33.860 he valued women in the military,

00:31:36.360 but they would have to meet

00:31:37.660 the same physical standards as men 0.79

00:31:39.820 if they were going to be in combat roles?

00:31:43.320 Does that say anything?

00:31:47.300 It doesn't say anything.

00:31:49.020 It's saying that if you're going to be

00:31:50.240 in a combat role,

00:31:51.280 you're going to have to meet a certain standard,

00:31:52.800 and we don't care what your genitalia is. 1.00

00:31:56.120 How do you get more fair than that?

00:31:58.000 Same standard, men and women. 0.91

00:32:00.920 What did MSNBC turn that into? 0.75

00:32:04.700 Their words is that he's ruling out

00:32:07.860 women in combat roles. 0.99

00:32:10.500 Well, in effect,

00:32:12.560 it would presumably reduce

00:32:14.500 the number of women in combat roles

00:32:16.400 if they had a higher standard

00:32:18.040 than they've had before.

00:32:19.700 But it doesn't eliminate them.

00:32:21.360 It says if you can do the work,

00:32:23.180 you got the job.

00:32:25.260 That's all it says.

00:32:26.300 If you can do the work,

00:32:27.900 you're in.

00:32:29.180 So, but they turned that into something

00:32:31.540 it isn't by removing the context.

00:32:36.140 Well, you may have seen it already,

00:32:38.200 but after three days of winning the meme war,

00:32:43.740 Trump with his memes of Hakeem Jeffries

00:32:47.320 with his sombrero,

00:32:48.920 it's just the funniest thing.

00:32:51.960 Even,

00:32:52.700 what's the show,

00:32:54.260 The Daily Show?

00:32:56.280 You know,

00:32:56.680 when Jon Stewart's not

00:32:58.360 The Daily Show host,

00:32:59.640 I think he does one day a week.

00:33:01.400 But,

00:33:01.700 who is the Asian American guy

00:33:03.920 who is The Daily Show host?

00:33:05.880 He's pretty funny.

00:33:07.060 But,

00:33:07.580 he completely took

00:33:09.800 the memes aside.

00:33:12.640 He just couldn't get over

00:33:15.880 how funny the meme was,

00:33:17.280 even though he didn't understand

00:33:18.480 the relevance.

00:33:19.680 Like,

00:33:19.960 why does Hakeem Jeffries have a,

00:33:22.420 he didn't even know

00:33:23.580 why Hakeem Jeffries

00:33:24.760 was being put in a sombrero

00:33:26.380 and a Mexican mustache.

00:33:28.380 The reason is that,

00:33:30.100 allegedly,

00:33:31.060 he wants to give

00:33:31.860 budget money

00:33:33.420 to undocumented

00:33:34.860 people.

00:33:35.640 But,

00:33:38.440 you'd have to know

00:33:39.100 that story.

00:33:40.120 But still,

00:33:40.680 The Daily Show guy

00:33:41.880 said he didn't even know

00:33:42.780 what it had to do with,

00:33:44.260 but he couldn't stop laughing

00:33:45.900 because it was hilarious.

00:33:47.460 Because it's hilarious.

00:33:49.060 And then,

00:33:49.440 and then he showed

00:33:50.120 the third one

00:33:51.160 in the series

00:33:51.880 where Trump himself

00:33:53.560 is wearing a sombrero

00:33:54.800 and playing in the

00:33:55.820 mariachi band.

00:33:56.920 And then he's all confused.

00:33:58.800 Because,

00:33:59.180 is it good or bad

00:34:00.080 to be a mariachi guy

00:34:01.700 with a Mexican hat?

00:34:03.000 Wait a minute.

00:34:03.400 If it's bad,

00:34:04.380 why'd they put Trump

00:34:05.180 in a hat?

00:34:07.020 Just perfect.

00:34:08.380 Just perfect.

00:34:09.560 But this morning

00:34:10.300 I wake up to a new one

00:34:11.620 that's the music

00:34:13.440 of Blue Oyster Cult.

00:34:15.320 Here comes the Reaper

00:34:16.360 with a AI-generated meme

00:34:20.180 that shows Russ vote

00:34:22.040 and Trump looking like Reapers

00:34:25.080 and that they're going to come

00:34:26.580 after your,

00:34:27.360 after your Democrat employees

00:34:31.320 and fire them. 0.92

00:34:32.420 Because I guess he can do

00:34:33.340 a bunch of firing

00:34:34.180 during the government

00:34:35.320 close down.

00:34:36.780 And he's going to shut

00:34:37.440 a bunch of Democrat entities

00:34:39.740 and Democrat functions

00:34:41.080 and fire a bunch of Democrats.

00:34:43.200 So instead of being coy about it,

00:34:46.460 instead of trying

00:34:48.540 to lower the temperature,

00:34:50.400 you know,

00:34:50.560 what a normal president would do

00:34:52.420 would be like,

00:34:53.340 oh yeah,

00:34:53.800 there might be a few layoffs.

00:34:57.420 Yeah.

00:34:57.720 We might be,

00:34:58.780 you know,

00:34:58.960 use that time

00:34:59.660 to look at a few things

00:35:00.660 we can adjust

00:35:01.380 and try to minimize it.

00:35:03.400 No.

00:35:03.820 Instead of trying to minimize it,

00:35:06.300 Trump goes right at it

00:35:08.200 with a meme of him

00:35:10.200 as the Reaper

00:35:11.900 getting rid of all these Democrats.

00:35:14.080 Oh no.

00:35:17.920 And then Trump said separately,

00:35:19.740 I can't believe

00:35:20.340 the radical left Democrats

00:35:21.740 gave me this unprecedented opportunity.

00:35:24.740 They're not stupid people.

00:35:25.980 So maybe this is their way

00:35:27.580 of wanting to quietly

00:35:28.720 and quickly

00:35:29.320 make America great again.

00:35:32.140 So now he's speculating

00:35:33.900 that Democrats

00:35:35.120 are pretending

00:35:36.000 to be incompetent

00:35:37.320 so they can get

00:35:38.440 some stuff done

00:35:39.320 without stopping Trump

00:35:41.260 from doing it.

00:35:43.440 Now,

00:35:44.040 I don't think

00:35:44.500 that's exactly

00:35:45.180 what's happening,

00:35:45.960 but God,

00:35:46.460 that's funny.

00:35:47.600 That is so funny.

00:35:49.080 The fact that he's

00:35:50.420 trolling them

00:35:52.260 and beating them

00:35:53.300 at the same time,

00:35:54.940 I could not enjoy this more.

00:35:57.720 And the fact that Trump

00:35:58.760 knows he's entertaining

00:35:59.840 his base

00:36:00.460 while driving crazy

00:36:02.060 his competition,

00:36:04.360 it just doesn't get

00:36:05.640 any better than this.

00:36:07.060 How are we ever

00:36:07.960 going to enjoy

00:36:08.840 another president?

00:36:09.880 This is the most fun

00:36:11.880 any president's ever been.

00:36:14.560 Nobody's ever

00:36:15.160 going to match this.

00:36:16.140 I mean,

00:36:16.360 I have a lot of confidence

00:36:17.440 in J.D. Vance.

00:36:19.020 If he makes it in,

00:36:20.200 I think he'll be terrific.

00:36:21.920 But, man,

00:36:22.820 you'll never match this.

00:36:24.240 You will never match this.

00:36:25.680 This is a form of genius

00:36:28.600 what Trump is executing

00:36:31.320 right now.

00:36:31.860 It's a form of genius

00:36:32.880 like I don't think

00:36:33.940 we'll ever see again

00:36:35.020 because he has

00:36:36.320 that talent stack

00:36:37.400 that, you know,

00:36:38.680 goes across entertainment,

00:36:41.180 you know,

00:36:41.600 decades of experience.

00:36:43.760 He just has exactly

00:36:44.780 the right stack

00:36:46.460 of talents to do this.

00:36:47.740 Nobody else does.

00:36:48.980 Only him.

00:36:52.580 So,

00:36:53.240 Akeem put it

00:36:53.840 in the post

00:36:54.780 and actually says,

00:36:55.880 we are ready

00:36:56.360 to debate

00:36:56.920 the government funding

00:36:57.980 and the Republican

00:36:58.780 health care crisis

00:37:00.000 anytime,

00:37:01.280 anyplace,

00:37:02.300 with the cameras rolling.

00:37:03.540 He says,

00:37:05.420 Trump,

00:37:06.320 Vice President,

00:37:07.660 Speaker Johnson,

00:37:09.080 what say you?

00:37:10.540 And I looked

00:37:11.080 in the comments

00:37:11.900 to his,

00:37:13.000 to his aggressive challenge

00:37:16.380 to debate it

00:37:17.840 on the camera

00:37:19.080 and Michael Malice

00:37:20.760 had a comment

00:37:21.520 right below it

00:37:22.980 in all caps.

00:37:24.580 He says,

00:37:25.220 go back to Mexico. 0.94

00:37:26.240 Now,

00:37:26.560 if you don't know

00:37:31.300 who Michael Malice is,

00:37:32.740 it's not as funny.

00:37:34.280 You have to know

00:37:35.220 he's just one

00:37:35.780 of the funniest people

00:37:36.560 in the world.

00:37:37.840 But,

00:37:38.340 that we so

00:37:43.360 don't take him seriously

00:37:44.660 that nobody even cares

00:37:46.200 that he wants

00:37:46.700 to debate it on camera.

00:37:48.040 We're not even interested.

00:37:49.520 We just go back

00:37:50.140 to Mexico

00:37:50.760 where,

00:37:52.520 if you didn't know,

00:37:53.300 he's not from Mexico.

00:37:54.420 but he has been seen

00:37:56.220 in the sombrero lately.

00:37:57.980 Go back to Mexico. 0.98

00:38:01.260 It'd be even funnier

00:38:02.560 if Trump agreed

00:38:04.440 to debate

00:38:05.120 but only with AOC

00:38:06.280 because she's not even

00:38:08.320 in the chain of command

00:38:09.800 for this topic.

00:38:11.860 Oh yeah,

00:38:12.280 I'll do it

00:38:12.680 but only with AOC.

00:38:15.960 Anyway,

00:38:17.000 the smart people

00:38:19.920 are pretty sure

00:38:21.220 that the only way

00:38:22.380 this shutdown ends

00:38:24.360 is with Democrats

00:38:25.620 giving up.

00:38:27.120 Do you think that too?

00:38:29.080 Do you think

00:38:29.600 the only way

00:38:30.380 this ends

00:38:30.880 is with Democrats

00:38:31.740 saying,

00:38:32.160 all right,

00:38:33.100 all right,

00:38:33.800 all right,

00:38:34.540 you know,

00:38:34.840 we only have to wait

00:38:35.740 seven weeks

00:38:36.500 and then we're back

00:38:37.840 in negotiating

00:38:38.560 the budget

00:38:39.180 so we could just

00:38:40.160 wait seven weeks.

00:38:42.720 I don't see it

00:38:43.760 ending any other way,

00:38:45.220 do you?

00:38:46.220 As far as I can tell,

00:38:48.180 Trump is perfectly happy

00:38:49.860 torturing them

00:38:50.740 with funny memes

00:38:52.140 keeping them

00:38:53.480 off the job

00:38:54.540 and cutting

00:38:56.440 all this fat

00:38:57.980 that he wanted

00:38:58.500 to cut anyway.

00:39:00.100 So,

00:39:00.840 it definitely looks

00:39:01.900 like all the cards

00:39:03.040 are in Trump's favor

00:39:05.080 right now.

00:39:06.000 It looks like it.

00:39:07.080 So,

00:39:07.500 I can't imagine

00:39:08.260 it would go

00:39:08.860 any direction

00:39:09.580 other than

00:39:10.120 yet another failure

00:39:11.180 but during that time

00:39:13.360 that they fail,

00:39:14.760 they get to highlight

00:39:15.740 their two leaders,

00:39:17.020 Hakeem Jeffries

00:39:18.360 and Chuck Schumer.

00:39:20.760 That is all bad

00:39:22.220 every day.

00:39:23.580 Every second

00:39:24.600 that they're on TV,

00:39:26.480 every second

00:39:27.340 makes the Democrats

00:39:28.400 less popular

00:39:29.300 because even the Democrats

00:39:30.580 are not looking

00:39:31.700 at those two guys

00:39:32.860 and saying,

00:39:33.720 hmm,

00:39:34.640 hmm,

00:39:35.600 there's my leaders

00:39:36.480 right there.

00:39:38.520 So,

00:39:39.020 I mean,

00:39:39.380 I think if it were AOC,

00:39:42.320 things might be going

00:39:43.240 in the right direction

00:39:44.060 because they might say,

00:39:45.720 all right,

00:39:46.140 all right,

00:39:46.540 I'll follow her

00:39:47.260 but they don't.

00:39:51.580 Newt Gingrich

00:39:52.420 had a good summary of it.

00:39:54.040 He says the Democrats

00:39:55.020 just pulled off

00:39:55.880 what he calls

00:39:56.360 a double negative.

00:39:58.260 He was talking

00:39:58.820 to Jesse Waters

00:39:59.660 about this.

00:40:00.620 So,

00:40:00.780 the double negative

00:40:01.500 is that there are

00:40:02.360 two things

00:40:03.020 that the American people

00:40:04.220 want.

00:40:06.360 Just two things.

00:40:07.700 Well,

00:40:08.000 they want more than that

00:40:08.900 but two things

00:40:09.560 the American people

00:40:10.280 want on this topic.

00:40:12.280 Number one,

00:40:13.240 do not close

00:40:14.020 the government.

00:40:15.360 Number two,

00:40:15.960 do not raise spending

00:40:17.420 and then Newt

00:40:18.820 points out.

00:40:19.580 So,

00:40:20.060 what do the Democrats

00:40:20.940 do?

00:40:21.440 They say,

00:40:21.940 I'm going to close

00:40:22.580 the government

00:40:23.000 until you raise

00:40:23.760 spending.

00:40:24.780 That's a double

00:40:25.640 negative

00:40:26.120 to which I say,

00:40:29.340 no,

00:40:29.520 you're wrong. 0.83

00:40:30.100 You're wrong,

00:40:30.620 Newt.

00:40:31.060 It's not a double

00:40:31.840 negative

00:40:32.320 because they're

00:40:34.120 doing it

00:40:34.580 by putting forward

00:40:35.680 Schumer

00:40:36.400 and Jeffries.

00:40:37.100 It's a triple

00:40:38.220 negative.

00:40:39.240 It's a triple.

00:40:40.660 You cannot

00:40:42.640 discount

00:40:43.360 that they're

00:40:43.880 putting their

00:40:44.360 least charismatic,

00:40:46.460 least likable

00:40:47.720 two people

00:40:48.380 as the face

00:40:49.800 of this problem.

00:40:51.080 Yeah,

00:40:51.340 that's three things

00:40:52.120 we don't want

00:40:52.660 to do.

00:40:53.000 We don't want

00:40:53.380 to close

00:40:53.760 the government.

00:40:54.380 We don't want

00:40:54.760 to raise spending

00:40:55.400 and we don't want

00:40:56.440 to spend one more

00:40:57.280 freaking second

00:40:57.980 looking at

00:40:58.640 Hakeem Jeffries

00:40:59.460 or Schumer

00:41:00.080 on camera.

00:41:01.280 Can you give us

00:41:02.220 somebody

00:41:02.860 who's got

00:41:04.300 a little bit

00:41:04.980 of charisma?

00:41:05.960 Just a little bit.

00:41:07.460 Something interesting.

00:41:08.600 I'll watch.

00:41:09.660 Like I said,

00:41:10.440 I'll watch AOC.

00:41:12.460 Yeah.

00:41:13.660 It's not about

00:41:14.520 being a Democrat.

00:41:15.540 It's about being,

00:41:16.700 have a little bit

00:41:17.620 of charisma.

00:41:18.320 Please.

00:41:21.180 Well,

00:41:21.620 Kash Patel

00:41:22.360 was asked

00:41:23.060 a question

00:41:23.520 about whether

00:41:24.000 he thought

00:41:24.480 Nancy Pelosi

00:41:25.440 was behind

00:41:26.660 planning

00:41:27.300 the January 6th

00:41:29.160 event to turn

00:41:30.040 it into

00:41:30.480 an insurrection

00:41:32.500 narrative.

00:41:33.640 Now,

00:41:34.000 I will tell

00:41:34.520 you that

00:41:35.080 I am not

00:41:35.920 persuaded

00:41:36.700 by the new

00:41:38.200 news that

00:41:38.840 there were

00:41:39.120 lots of

00:41:39.680 FBI people

00:41:40.600 in the crowd.

00:41:42.460 I understand

00:41:43.540 what that means,

00:41:44.800 that it means

00:41:45.400 they could have

00:41:46.460 been ordered

00:41:47.900 to cause trouble.

00:41:49.980 Definitely

00:41:50.500 could have

00:41:51.280 and certainly

00:41:52.480 it looks like

00:41:53.340 the FBI

00:41:54.680 in prior

00:41:56.280 leadership,

00:41:57.080 it looks like

00:41:57.600 they were lying

00:41:58.260 to us

00:41:58.780 about the

00:42:00.640 involvement.

00:42:01.120 but it

00:42:02.340 doesn't

00:42:02.940 necessarily

00:42:03.700 mean

00:42:04.320 that we

00:42:05.420 have a

00:42:05.880 direct

00:42:06.280 smoking gun

00:42:07.280 that they

00:42:08.420 cause the

00:42:09.080 trouble.

00:42:09.640 Because there

00:42:10.220 are some

00:42:10.480 people that

00:42:11.060 look like

00:42:11.840 they might

00:42:12.220 have been

00:42:12.520 operatives,

00:42:13.860 breaking

00:42:14.380 windows and

00:42:15.280 stuff like

00:42:16.220 that,

00:42:16.540 but we

00:42:16.780 don't know.

00:42:17.760 I mean,

00:42:17.980 they could

00:42:18.260 have been

00:42:18.620 some other

00:42:19.860 kind of

00:42:20.220 operative,

00:42:20.720 not FBI.

00:42:22.040 So I'm

00:42:22.780 personally

00:42:23.380 not totally

00:42:24.780 persuaded,

00:42:25.880 but I'm

00:42:26.240 open to it.

00:42:27.620 Definitely

00:42:27.940 open to it

00:42:29.080 because it

00:42:29.720 certainly

00:42:30.100 opens up

00:42:30.700 the extreme

00:42:31.940 possibility

00:42:32.720 that they

00:42:33.920 were involved,

00:42:34.640 but don't

00:42:36.040 have that

00:42:36.640 last whistleblower

00:42:38.880 thing.

00:42:40.200 By now,

00:42:41.340 we would have

00:42:42.660 at least one

00:42:43.300 whistleblower

00:42:43.920 that says,

00:42:44.500 here's the

00:42:44.880 deal,

00:42:45.500 I was

00:42:45.940 directly

00:42:46.520 told to

00:42:47.800 go turn

00:42:48.300 this into

00:42:48.740 a riot.

00:42:50.180 Short of

00:42:50.840 that,

00:42:52.280 and I

00:42:52.640 think we

00:42:53.000 would have

00:42:53.300 seen that

00:42:53.740 by now,

00:42:54.700 short of

00:42:55.300 that,

00:42:56.140 I'm going

00:42:57.460 to just

00:42:58.380 say fog

00:42:59.580 of war

00:42:59.920 still,

00:43:00.980 and could

00:43:01.780 go either

00:43:02.140 way.

00:43:03.120 But,

00:43:03.660 as Kash Patel

00:43:04.600 reminds us,

00:43:06.000 remember when

00:43:07.080 there was a

00:43:08.120 claim that

00:43:08.760 the National

00:43:09.280 Guard had

00:43:10.120 been offered

00:43:11.000 but declined,

00:43:13.060 and apparently

00:43:13.520 Pelosi at the

00:43:14.460 time said

00:43:14.980 that was a

00:43:15.480 lie.

00:43:16.600 I think

00:43:17.560 she was

00:43:17.960 claiming,

00:43:18.900 if I have

00:43:19.600 this story

00:43:20.020 right,

00:43:20.340 I believe

00:43:20.660 I do,

00:43:21.620 she was

00:43:22.200 claiming that

00:43:22.820 that never

00:43:23.300 happened,

00:43:23.760 there was

00:43:23.980 no declining

00:43:24.880 of the

00:43:26.360 help.

00:43:27.280 Well,

00:43:28.440 later,

00:43:28.880 after Kash Patel

00:43:29.800 is in

00:43:30.040 there,

00:43:30.240 they find

00:43:30.600 the documents

00:43:31.360 that were

00:43:32.200 indeed the

00:43:32.800 declination

00:43:33.440 of the

00:43:34.040 help.

00:43:34.940 So,

00:43:35.200 now that's

00:43:35.560 a proven

00:43:36.160 lie that

00:43:37.880 Nancy Pelosi

00:43:38.620 had access

00:43:40.020 to 10,000 to

00:43:40.880 20,000

00:43:41.740 National Guard

00:43:43.160 and only had

00:43:44.060 to say

00:43:44.420 yes.

00:43:45.860 Only had

00:43:46.320 to say

00:43:46.620 yes.

00:43:47.720 And she

00:43:48.020 said no

00:43:48.660 in writing.

00:43:51.460 Now,

00:43:51.920 why would she

00:43:52.540 not say

00:43:53.220 yes to

00:43:54.240 something so

00:43:55.000 obviously

00:43:55.720 protective?

00:43:59.700 Why?

00:44:00.820 Well,

00:44:01.500 secondly,

00:44:02.120 as Kash Patel

00:44:02.860 points out,

00:44:04.060 Pelosi's

00:44:04.720 daughter was

00:44:06.120 filming a

00:44:06.920 documentary about

00:44:08.240 the events of

00:44:09.040 that day.

00:44:09.940 What would be

00:44:10.740 the better

00:44:11.220 event?

00:44:12.360 What would

00:44:12.780 make that

00:44:13.240 documentary

00:44:13.900 really shine?

00:44:15.980 Well,

00:44:16.760 it wouldn't

00:44:17.420 be if the

00:44:18.440 National Guard

00:44:19.200 came in and

00:44:20.140 made immediate

00:44:22.020 order and

00:44:23.980 prevented people

00:44:24.840 from

00:44:25.240 trespassing.

00:44:27.300 There would

00:44:27.940 have been,

00:44:28.600 what kind of

00:44:29.160 movie would

00:44:29.580 that be?

00:44:30.820 Oh,

00:44:31.020 a bunch of

00:44:31.360 people protested.

00:44:33.120 It was all

00:44:33.560 very peaceful.

00:44:34.760 They went

00:44:35.040 home.

00:44:36.140 Right?

00:44:37.040 So,

00:44:38.160 now here's

00:44:38.700 the question.

00:44:39.400 If you were

00:44:39.880 Nancy Pelosi

00:44:40.640 and you were

00:44:41.240 as clever

00:44:41.940 and as

00:44:42.440 experienced

00:44:43.240 and weaselly

00:44:43.940 as she is,

00:44:45.200 do you think

00:44:45.820 that you would

00:44:46.300 be tempted

00:44:46.860 to let

00:44:48.140 trouble happen,

00:44:49.580 including

00:44:50.060 physical

00:44:50.980 danger trouble,

00:44:52.060 in order for

00:44:53.360 your daughter's

00:44:54.260 career to

00:44:55.020 really take

00:44:55.600 off?

00:44:56.820 And the

00:44:57.240 answer is,

00:44:57.940 that's pretty

00:44:58.520 much what

00:44:59.000 politicians do.

00:45:00.780 They pretty

00:45:01.340 much put

00:45:02.480 other people

00:45:03.120 at risk for

00:45:04.600 their own

00:45:05.140 personal benefit

00:45:06.040 and their

00:45:06.440 family's benefit.

00:45:07.440 That's the

00:45:07.780 most common

00:45:08.320 thing they

00:45:08.700 do.

00:45:09.640 So,

00:45:09.920 yes,

00:45:10.780 I do

00:45:11.880 believe that

00:45:12.560 she would

00:45:13.180 put people's

00:45:14.120 lives at

00:45:14.800 risk,

00:45:15.560 absolutely,

00:45:17.120 to just

00:45:18.000 boost her 0.67

00:45:18.600 daughter's

00:45:19.060 career a

00:45:19.560 little bit.

00:45:19.920 I do

00:45:21.260 think that

00:45:22.020 I can't

00:45:22.440 think of

00:45:22.760 a second

00:45:23.220 reason that

00:45:24.540 would make

00:45:24.860 sense to

00:45:25.320 me,

00:45:26.080 why you

00:45:26.460 would

00:45:26.620 decline

00:45:27.060 the

00:45:27.340 National

00:45:27.740 Guard.

00:45:30.460 Right?

00:45:31.480 So,

00:45:32.160 I'm going

00:45:32.540 to say

00:45:32.880 that given

00:45:33.440 the things

00:45:34.680 that we

00:45:35.000 know for

00:45:35.480 sure,

00:45:36.440 daughter was

00:45:37.100 doing a

00:45:37.540 documentary,

00:45:38.800 it got a

00:45:39.200 lot more

00:45:39.560 interesting

00:45:39.960 when the

00:45:41.300 danger

00:45:41.620 started,

00:45:42.620 and that

00:45:42.960 she turned

00:45:43.400 down help

00:45:44.060 that was

00:45:44.580 the obvious

00:45:45.200 help to

00:45:45.740 give,

00:45:46.920 and by

00:45:47.340 the way,

00:45:48.100 why would

00:45:48.520 the person

00:45:48.920 who's

00:45:49.220 planning

00:45:49.920 an insurrection

00:45:50.600 offer to

00:45:52.200 put in

00:45:52.740 place the

00:45:53.740 people who

00:45:54.200 would stop

00:45:54.620 the

00:45:54.820 insurrection?

00:45:56.620 I mean,

00:45:56.940 the whole

00:45:57.180 narrative was

00:45:58.100 completely

00:45:58.520 ridiculous,

00:45:59.380 and Pelosi

00:46:00.300 was behind

00:46:00.980 the narrative.

00:46:01.920 So,

00:46:02.140 I'm going

00:46:02.340 to say

00:46:02.600 that she

00:46:03.020 was directly

00:46:04.780 the cause

00:46:05.680 of the

00:46:07.040 insurrection,

00:46:08.160 and that she

00:46:08.820 knew that she

00:46:09.600 could blame

00:46:10.140 the insurrection

00:46:10.840 on Trump

00:46:13.840 supporters,

00:46:14.660 which she

00:46:15.100 did,

00:46:15.920 if she

00:46:16.580 made sure

00:46:17.020 that there

00:46:18.060 was not

00:46:18.460 enough

00:46:18.780 protection

00:46:19.320 to keep

00:46:19.900 people from

00:46:20.420 getting out

00:46:20.880 of line.

00:46:22.300 So,

00:46:22.900 I'm going

00:46:23.180 to say

00:46:23.560 my current

00:46:24.420 working

00:46:25.740 theory is

00:46:27.560 that the

00:46:27.860 FBI may

00:46:29.200 not have

00:46:29.660 been directly

00:46:30.320 involved,

00:46:31.680 but they

00:46:32.080 wouldn't need

00:46:32.660 to be,

00:46:33.560 because if you

00:46:34.180 have that

00:46:34.520 many angry

00:46:35.160 people,

00:46:36.060 and you

00:46:36.400 have a

00:46:37.140 no show

00:46:37.920 of force,

00:46:39.060 that it

00:46:39.420 looks like

00:46:39.760 they're not

00:46:40.140 in any

00:46:40.480 particular

00:46:40.900 risk,

00:46:41.400 because there's

00:46:41.780 not enough

00:46:42.240 police there,

00:46:44.600 that would be

00:46:45.280 enough to

00:46:45.780 guarantee there

00:46:46.360 would be too

00:46:46.780 much trouble.

00:46:47.380 Now,

00:46:48.880 she may 0.94

00:46:49.680 have overplayed

00:46:51.340 her hand,

00:46:51.920 and it may

00:46:52.280 have gotten

00:46:52.640 more dangerous

00:46:53.440 than she

00:46:53.980 imagined it

00:46:54.640 would get,

00:46:55.520 especially

00:46:55.980 dangerous to

00:46:56.840 members of

00:46:58.000 the Congress.

00:46:59.140 So,

00:46:59.540 she may 0.94

00:46:59.880 have been

00:47:00.160 surprised that

00:47:00.800 it got worse

00:47:01.320 than she

00:47:01.660 thought,

00:47:02.420 but I'm

00:47:02.900 going to say

00:47:03.220 this is 100%

00:47:04.160 on her.

00:47:05.540 I believe

00:47:06.080 January 6th

00:47:07.400 was an

00:47:08.120 op that

00:47:09.260 was not

00:47:09.740 planned,

00:47:11.060 but rather

00:47:11.960 in an

00:47:12.600 opportunistic

00:47:13.440 way.

00:47:13.880 Pelosi

00:47:14.700 saw a

00:47:15.400 situation

00:47:15.920 forming

00:47:16.520 that they

00:47:17.480 could possibly

00:47:18.060 take out

00:47:18.580 Trump forever,

00:47:19.680 but the

00:47:20.440 risk of it

00:47:21.180 would be

00:47:21.520 some people

00:47:22.020 would get

00:47:22.340 hurt.

00:47:23.520 And I

00:47:23.780 think that's

00:47:24.200 what she

00:47:24.480 did.

00:47:25.680 I believe

00:47:26.520 that she

00:47:26.840 is 100%

00:47:27.900 behind that

00:47:29.640 hoax,

00:47:30.940 and that

00:47:31.680 I don't

00:47:32.280 have any

00:47:32.600 more questions.

00:47:34.240 To me,

00:47:35.040 it's asked

00:47:35.600 and answered.

00:47:36.780 Maybe,

00:47:37.580 maybe there

00:47:38.680 was a

00:47:39.520 handful of

00:47:40.380 FBI guys

00:47:41.500 who were

00:47:41.760 in on

00:47:42.160 something,

00:47:43.260 but I

00:47:43.780 don't see

00:47:44.120 it.

00:47:45.320 You know,

00:47:45.540 you're going

00:47:45.980 to have

00:47:46.140 to do

00:47:46.380 better if

00:47:47.540 you think

00:47:47.960 that the

00:47:48.320 FBI was

00:47:48.940 involved.

00:47:50.020 They may

00:47:50.500 have been,

00:47:51.400 but I

00:47:52.160 don't see

00:47:52.500 it.

00:47:53.040 All I

00:47:53.400 see is

00:47:53.700 numbers,

00:47:54.460 and that's

00:47:55.000 completely

00:47:55.420 different.

00:47:57.280 So,

00:47:58.100 all right.

00:48:00.840 Apparently,

00:48:01.720 according to

00:48:02.520 Fox News,

00:48:03.500 Fannie Mae

00:48:04.020 and Freddie

00:48:04.620 Mack,

00:48:05.120 two big

00:48:05.560 housing

00:48:06.720 giants,

00:48:07.620 are going

00:48:07.900 to leave

00:48:08.280 New York

00:48:08.720 State because

00:48:09.740 it's too

00:48:10.980 sketchy to

00:48:11.660 be there

00:48:12.060 when the

00:48:13.060 Attorney

00:48:13.380 General is

00:48:14.240 Letitia 0.98

00:48:14.740 James.

00:48:16.400 So,

00:48:17.380 you might

00:48:17.940 be aware

00:48:18.440 that Bill

00:48:20.500 Pulte has

00:48:21.240 found some

00:48:24.020 news about

00:48:25.020 Letitia 0.98

00:48:25.780 James and

00:48:27.380 her paperwork

00:48:29.220 for housing

00:48:30.180 and alleged

00:48:31.380 mortgage-type

00:48:32.880 fraud that's

00:48:33.940 not been

00:48:34.320 proven,

00:48:35.160 alleged.

00:48:36.660 But now

00:48:37.900 this is putting

00:48:38.400 more pressure,

00:48:39.680 taking two

00:48:40.680 big entities,

00:48:42.060 out of the

00:48:42.660 state because

00:48:44.100 it's just

00:48:45.260 too dangerous

00:48:45.860 to be in

00:48:46.360 the state

00:48:46.800 with her

00:48:48.220 there.

00:48:49.040 And I

00:48:49.440 would say

00:48:49.800 that especially

00:48:50.540 now,

00:48:51.260 after those

00:48:52.060 agencies were

00:48:52.980 implicated in

00:48:53.980 implicating her

00:48:55.500 and that we

00:48:56.520 know she's a

00:48:57.140 revenge monster,

00:48:58.740 you have to

00:48:59.680 take your

00:49:00.060 business out of

00:49:00.680 that state.

00:49:01.700 You can't even

00:49:02.740 stay in the

00:49:03.440 state with that

00:49:04.620 Attorney General.

00:49:05.440 It's too risky.

00:49:06.780 So Pulte is

00:49:07.720 right again.

00:49:08.740 He's right

00:49:09.140 again.

00:49:09.980 It would just

00:49:10.680 be dangerous

00:49:11.380 to stay there.

00:49:14.040 Well,

00:49:14.320 David Sachs and

00:49:15.240 others are

00:49:15.840 criticizing this

00:49:16.920 group called

00:49:17.500 the SPLC,

00:49:18.820 the Southern

00:49:19.280 Poverty Law

00:49:20.220 Center,

00:49:20.780 who exists

00:49:21.580 sort of like

00:49:22.620 the ADL

00:49:23.380 does to

00:49:24.720 pretend to be

00:49:25.960 finding bad

00:49:26.940 people and

00:49:27.520 racists,

00:49:28.000 but really

00:49:28.900 they're just a

00:49:29.720 Democrat

00:49:30.420 hit entity

00:49:31.880 trying to act

00:49:32.540 like they're

00:49:32.900 something else.

00:49:34.980 Sachs points

00:49:35.860 out that if

00:49:36.420 you search for

00:49:37.140 Stephen Miller,

00:49:38.460 the first thing

00:49:39.280 that comes up

00:49:40.080 on Google

00:49:41.080 search is

00:49:42.600 something that

00:49:44.540 calls him

00:49:46.200 names.

00:49:46.740 What do you

00:49:47.000 call them?

00:49:49.480 Anyway,

00:49:50.260 so it's

00:49:50.960 something that

00:49:51.440 calls him

00:49:51.840 some kind of

00:49:52.840 a racist or

00:49:53.540 something.

00:49:54.520 And the

00:49:55.380 SPLC also

00:49:58.260 has an article

00:49:59.200 about me

00:49:59.860 from 2020.

00:50:01.400 and it

00:50:02.940 says it

00:50:03.880 was about

00:50:04.320 election

00:50:05.320 denial.

00:50:06.180 So it

00:50:06.400 put me in

00:50:06.800 the election

00:50:07.280 denial category

00:50:08.340 and which

00:50:10.460 by the

00:50:10.780 way,

00:50:11.900 I don't

00:50:12.860 believe I'm

00:50:13.420 an election

00:50:13.840 denier.

00:50:14.820 I have not

00:50:15.700 seen proof

00:50:16.280 that the

00:50:16.660 election was

00:50:17.640 rigged.

00:50:20.340 But they

00:50:21.160 seemed to

00:50:22.040 think that I

00:50:22.680 was on

00:50:23.620 that team

00:50:24.240 about the

00:50:25.920 refusal for

00:50:27.200 Trump to

00:50:27.720 concede.

00:50:29.120 And it

00:50:29.280 said that

00:50:30.140 in a tweet

00:50:30.660 response that

00:50:32.140 I said,

00:50:32.940 this is what

00:50:33.500 they claim,

00:50:34.620 that people

00:50:35.220 have been

00:50:35.580 brainwashed to

00:50:36.420 accept Biden's

00:50:37.420 win.

00:50:39.080 And that

00:50:41.060 that's part of

00:50:41.680 their broader

00:50:42.200 far-right rhetoric.

00:50:43.680 Now, did I

00:50:44.200 say that people

00:50:44.960 are brainwashed

00:50:45.900 to accept

00:50:46.540 Biden's win?

00:50:48.300 I don't know.

00:50:49.700 But that's not

00:50:50.740 a claim about

00:50:51.540 the election

00:50:52.100 itself.

00:50:52.980 That would be

00:50:53.720 a claim about

00:50:54.520 how people

00:50:55.620 come to

00:50:56.080 believe what

00:50:56.540 they believe

00:50:57.040 about the

00:50:57.480 election itself.

00:50:58.180 So I

00:50:59.080 didn't have

00:50:59.400 any comment

00:50:59.900 about whether

00:51:00.380 the election

00:51:00.800 was rigged.

00:51:01.940 My comment

00:51:02.500 was that the

00:51:03.300 individuals who

00:51:04.320 believe it

00:51:04.820 wasn't were

00:51:06.380 brainwashed to

00:51:07.140 believe that.

00:51:07.600 It was not

00:51:07.920 based on any

00:51:09.200 data they could

00:51:09.940 have possibly

00:51:10.480 had access to.

00:51:11.740 It was based

00:51:12.640 on propaganda.

00:51:14.920 But anyway,

00:51:15.880 they throw me

00:51:16.480 on the list so

00:51:17.360 that someday my

00:51:18.260 name will be

00:51:18.740 associated with

00:51:19.540 this hate group

00:51:20.280 or the group

00:51:21.260 that finds hate

00:51:22.000 groups.

00:51:23.020 Great.

00:51:23.300 So the SPLC

00:51:24.740 and ADL

00:51:25.500 really need

00:51:26.080 to be

00:51:26.520 eliminated

00:51:27.360 from the

00:51:28.400 United States.

00:51:29.500 There seems

00:51:29.880 to be a lot

00:51:30.320 of energy

00:51:30.700 to get that

00:51:31.240 done now.

00:51:32.380 So we'll

00:51:32.780 see.

00:51:33.600 I think

00:51:35.060 anybody who

00:51:35.700 donates to

00:51:37.320 either of

00:51:37.760 those groups

00:51:38.380 is just

00:51:39.200 asking for

00:51:39.760 trouble.

00:51:41.300 Because at

00:51:42.160 this point,

00:51:42.640 if somebody

00:51:43.020 found out

00:51:43.480 you donated

00:51:44.500 to either

00:51:45.040 of those

00:51:45.440 groups,

00:51:46.440 you would

00:51:47.240 get boycotted

00:51:48.360 immediately.

00:51:49.800 And you

00:51:50.360 should be.

00:51:51.100 Yeah,

00:51:51.300 they're despicable,

00:51:52.480 both of them.

00:51:54.200 Well,

00:51:54.760 I've been

00:51:54.980 listening to

00:51:55.420 an argument

00:51:55.880 that Scott

00:51:56.820 Galloway

00:51:57.460 has been

00:51:57.880 making about

00:51:58.740 how Israel

00:52:00.060 is not

00:52:00.500 allowed to

00:52:01.080 win a war

00:52:01.660 and that

00:52:02.120 there's a

00:52:02.500 double standard

00:52:03.220 there.

00:52:05.640 And I

00:52:06.300 thought I

00:52:06.540 would just

00:52:06.780 talk about

00:52:07.180 the argument

00:52:07.820 itself.

00:52:08.540 So this

00:52:08.980 is less

00:52:09.600 about Israel.

00:52:10.880 This is

00:52:11.300 just about

00:52:11.940 is this

00:52:12.820 argument good?

00:52:14.140 Okay.

00:52:14.940 So one of

00:52:15.700 the arguments

00:52:16.140 is that

00:52:17.180 in World

00:52:19.320 War II,

00:52:19.860 for example,

00:52:20.620 the U.S.

00:52:21.300 just did

00:52:23.300 horrible

00:52:23.960 things to

00:52:25.260 the civilian

00:52:26.680 populations of

00:52:27.680 Germany and

00:52:28.260 Japan.

00:52:29.280 And nobody

00:52:30.080 called that

00:52:30.720 a genocide.

00:52:32.200 They just

00:52:32.660 said,

00:52:32.980 well,

00:52:33.420 you know,

00:52:33.660 it's a war.

00:52:34.200 And if

00:52:35.360 you're going

00:52:35.580 to win

00:52:35.820 the war,

00:52:36.240 you're

00:52:36.420 going to

00:52:36.460 have to

00:52:36.640 win the

00:52:36.940 war.

00:52:37.380 And it's

00:52:37.740 going to

00:52:37.880 be really

00:52:38.280 ugly.

00:52:39.460 So that

00:52:41.100 would be

00:52:41.600 an example

00:52:43.060 where America

00:52:45.000 was allowed

00:52:45.760 to win a

00:52:46.380 war,

00:52:47.220 whereas Israel

00:52:48.540 is being

00:52:49.540 continuously

00:52:51.480 persuaded

00:52:55.000 to go

00:52:56.800 light on

00:52:57.460 civilian

00:52:57.960 deaths.

00:52:59.620 But

00:53:00.220 it's war.

00:53:02.380 and the,

00:53:03.940 you know,

00:53:04.200 as everybody

00:53:04.840 knows,

00:53:05.320 the civilians

00:53:05.860 are mixed

00:53:06.900 in with

00:53:07.280 the bad

00:53:07.640 guys,

00:53:08.160 so it's

00:53:08.480 extra hard

00:53:09.200 to spare

00:53:11.400 the civilians

00:53:11.980 in this

00:53:12.480 particular

00:53:13.000 case.

00:53:15.020 But here's

00:53:15.840 the part

00:53:16.140 where he

00:53:16.560 loses me.

00:53:17.560 Number

00:53:17.900 one,

00:53:19.160 analogies

00:53:19.880 are a

00:53:20.300 terrible

00:53:20.580 form of

00:53:21.160 argument.

00:53:21.720 Have I

00:53:21.980 ever said

00:53:22.580 that before?

00:53:23.520 Like,

00:53:24.140 almost every

00:53:25.180 day?

00:53:25.980 If you

00:53:26.660 have to

00:53:27.080 use an

00:53:27.520 analogy,

00:53:28.740 it's because

00:53:29.140 you don't

00:53:29.440 have an

00:53:29.760 argument.

00:53:30.060 Once you

00:53:32.220 see that

00:53:32.780 pattern,

00:53:33.800 you'll never

00:53:34.260 be able to

00:53:34.760 unsee it.

00:53:35.340 Let me

00:53:35.500 say it

00:53:35.780 again.

00:53:36.400 If you

00:53:36.780 have to

00:53:37.140 use an

00:53:37.560 analogy,

00:53:38.480 not just

00:53:39.040 if it's

00:53:39.420 a convenience,

00:53:40.780 if it's

00:53:41.140 a convenience

00:53:41.780 for describing

00:53:44.220 something that

00:53:44.920 somebody was

00:53:45.460 unfamiliar with,

00:53:46.820 that's perfectly

00:53:47.600 good use of

00:53:48.180 an analogy.

00:53:49.060 I'm just

00:53:49.500 describing a

00:53:50.360 thing.

00:53:51.140 But if it's

00:53:51.620 your argument

00:53:52.560 that this

00:53:54.120 thing is like

00:53:54.720 this, so they

00:53:55.380 should operate

00:53:55.860 the same,

00:53:56.920 that means you

00:53:57.680 don't have an

00:53:58.140 argument.

00:53:58.420 Because the

00:54:00.000 analogy is

00:54:00.620 never the

00:54:01.040 thing, it's

00:54:01.920 a different

00:54:02.320 thing.

00:54:03.280 You can't

00:54:03.780 argue this

00:54:04.440 thing with a

00:54:05.060 different thing.

00:54:06.440 The fact that

00:54:07.080 something about

00:54:07.860 that thing

00:54:08.360 reminds you of

00:54:09.080 the other

00:54:09.360 thing, there's

00:54:09.860 no argument.

00:54:10.940 That's no

00:54:11.340 argument.

00:54:13.100 So, and

00:54:15.500 to prove my

00:54:16.560 point, was

00:54:17.420 the U.S.

00:54:18.020 allowed to

00:54:18.620 win the war

00:54:19.300 in Afghanistan?

00:54:20.720 No.

00:54:21.420 The U.S.

00:54:21.980 could have

00:54:22.340 killed every

00:54:22.940 civilian in

00:54:23.640 Afghanistan and

00:54:24.760 taken full

00:54:25.400 control of the

00:54:25.980 country.

00:54:27.000 But we

00:54:27.760 didn't.

00:54:28.420 So, we

00:54:28.880 had a

00:54:29.160 constraint.

00:54:30.220 Did we

00:54:30.640 do everything

00:54:31.280 we could

00:54:31.740 have done

00:54:32.140 in Iraq?

00:54:34.520 Not really.

00:54:35.720 I mean, you

00:54:36.120 could say we

00:54:37.020 won the

00:54:37.460 war, but

00:54:38.580 do we

00:54:39.260 own Iraq?

00:54:40.980 Are they

00:54:41.240 even allies?

00:54:42.580 Doesn't look

00:54:43.080 like it to

00:54:43.460 me.

00:54:44.080 I think that

00:54:44.800 we did

00:54:45.940 not have

00:54:47.020 the freedom

00:54:47.520 to destroy

00:54:49.400 enough of

00:54:49.920 Iraq and

00:54:50.500 their civilian

00:54:51.100 base until

00:54:51.800 we owned

00:54:52.220 it.

00:54:53.220 We just

00:54:54.020 didn't have

00:54:54.420 that.

00:54:55.680 So, I

00:54:56.300 would say

00:54:56.600 that the

00:54:57.140 examples are

00:54:58.100 bad.

00:54:58.420 And I

00:54:58.580 would even

00:54:58.900 say attacking

00:54:59.920 Iran, all 1.00

00:55:01.340 we could do

00:55:01.900 is attack

00:55:02.400 something that

00:55:03.040 didn't look

00:55:03.460 like it

00:55:03.740 would have

00:55:03.960 much civilian

00:55:05.980 casualties.

00:55:08.380 So, at

00:55:09.080 least not

00:55:09.440 many.

00:55:11.040 So, I

00:55:11.600 would argue

00:55:12.100 that first

00:55:12.500 of all, the

00:55:12.860 analogies don't 0.97

00:55:13.760 work.

00:55:15.040 And we're

00:55:15.680 currently in a

00:55:16.620 war with

00:55:17.060 Russia, and

00:55:18.220 we're also not

00:55:19.320 killing too

00:55:20.200 many of their

00:55:20.820 civilians.

00:55:21.440 civilians, right?

00:55:22.180 So, I

00:55:22.740 would argue

00:55:23.120 that probably

00:55:24.260 what's happening

00:55:24.980 is that in

00:55:26.380 the modern

00:55:26.920 world, it's

00:55:27.720 harder to

00:55:28.280 run a war

00:55:29.360 where there

00:55:29.760 are lots of

00:55:30.220 civilian

00:55:30.580 casualties.

00:55:31.480 It has more

00:55:32.180 to do with

00:55:32.620 social media

00:55:33.400 and the fact

00:55:34.700 that the

00:55:35.100 news is not

00:55:35.840 completely

00:55:36.320 controlled by

00:55:37.020 governments

00:55:37.520 anymore, and

00:55:38.600 that people

00:55:38.960 can find out

00:55:39.600 directly what's

00:55:40.340 happening.

00:55:41.220 If the more

00:55:41.820 you know about

00:55:42.620 it, the less

00:55:44.140 freedom the

00:55:45.060 military is going

00:55:45.780 to have.

00:55:46.120 stuff, because

00:55:46.920 there will

00:55:47.120 always be

00:55:47.480 people who

00:55:47.880 say, there's

00:55:48.200 no reason to

00:55:48.720 be killing

00:55:49.060 so many

00:55:49.480 people.

00:55:50.480 But if

00:55:50.800 you're not

00:55:51.120 watching, I

00:55:52.680 mean, if

00:55:53.720 you're not

00:55:54.020 watching, stuff

00:55:55.320 gets done.

00:55:56.500 So, I

00:55:56.880 think it has

00:55:57.240 more to do

00:55:57.860 with the

00:55:58.580 modern landscape

00:56:00.420 of news and

00:56:01.400 information than

00:56:02.540 it does with

00:56:03.280 a double

00:56:06.120 standard.

00:56:07.160 So, that's my

00:56:07.700 first comment.

00:56:08.460 Analogies don't 1.00

00:56:09.280 work as

00:56:09.660 arguments.

00:56:10.340 The second

00:56:10.740 thing is that

00:56:11.600 Scott Galloway

00:56:12.400 likes to use the

00:56:13.140 argument that if

00:56:14.360 you looked at

00:56:14.980 it as a

00:56:15.600 percentage,

00:56:16.120 percentage of

00:56:17.760 Israelis that 0.96

00:56:18.620 were killed on

00:56:19.280 October 7th, and

00:56:20.840 you applied that

00:56:21.540 percentage to, let's

00:56:22.500 say, the United

00:56:23.100 States, it would 0.95

00:56:24.540 be some big

00:56:25.440 number, like

00:56:25.940 35,000 people.

00:56:28.080 And I think he

00:56:28.640 used the example

00:56:29.340 of the hostages

00:56:31.260 would be like, I

00:56:32.280 don't know, the

00:56:32.560 size of a whole

00:56:33.300 college or something

00:56:34.160 like that.

00:56:34.940 And he points

00:56:35.900 out, if that

00:56:36.700 happened to us,

00:56:38.200 35,000 people and

00:56:39.900 that many hostages

00:56:41.240 as a percentage,

00:56:42.740 that we would,

00:56:43.800 you know, we

00:56:44.560 would basically just

00:56:45.480 turn it into a

00:56:46.100 parking lot.

00:56:47.560 He used Mexico 1.00

00:56:48.540 as an example.

00:56:49.400 He said, if

00:56:50.140 Mexico did that 0.77

00:56:51.120 to us, we

00:56:52.260 would just level

00:56:53.180 Mexico.

00:56:54.260 You know, there

00:56:54.560 wouldn't be any

00:56:54.980 bit left.

00:56:55.900 Now, maybe, maybe

00:56:57.540 yes, or maybe

00:56:58.600 because it's the

00:57:00.080 modern world and

00:57:00.900 everybody would be

00:57:01.620 watching, we

00:57:02.320 wouldn't be able to

00:57:03.220 level Mexico because

00:57:05.020 there would be too

00:57:05.720 much pushback, too

00:57:06.720 much watching.

00:57:08.460 However, I would

00:57:09.560 argue that in this

00:57:10.600 domain, percentage

00:57:11.820 percentage is a

00:57:12.480 propaganda number.

00:57:14.580 That's not an

00:57:16.480 information number.

00:57:18.100 The information

00:57:18.980 number is the

00:57:19.820 number of people.

00:57:21.660 Remember, I always

00:57:22.340 tell you that if

00:57:23.060 somebody concentrates

00:57:24.240 on either the

00:57:25.960 percentage of a

00:57:27.180 thing or the

00:57:28.140 raw number and

00:57:29.380 they try to

00:57:29.880 minimize the

00:57:30.580 other, that's

00:57:31.880 propaganda every

00:57:32.680 time.

00:57:33.700 If you're not

00:57:34.520 willing to say

00:57:35.280 cleanly and

00:57:36.660 clearly, here's

00:57:37.440 both numbers, you

00:57:39.080 know, let's look

00:57:39.580 at them and see

00:57:40.100 what's important.

00:57:41.180 In my opinion, the

00:57:42.300 number of people

00:57:43.020 who died is all

00:57:43.920 that matters.

00:57:46.060 In what world am I

00:57:47.520 supposed to respect

00:57:48.560 the percentage?

00:57:50.280 If one person

00:57:51.460 dies anywhere, that's

00:57:52.520 one person dead.

00:57:53.840 If one American 0.97

00:57:54.860 dies, that's a

00:57:55.700 tragedy.

00:57:56.180 If one Israeli 0.99

00:57:56.840 dies, that's a

00:57:57.560 tragedy.

00:57:58.920 If a hundred

00:57:59.980 Israelis died, that's 1.00

00:58:01.060 a tragedy of a

00:58:02.000 hundred people.

00:58:03.160 If a hundred

00:58:03.680 Americans die, that's 1.00

00:58:04.700 a tragedy of

00:58:05.880 exactly the same

00:58:06.860 fucking size.

00:58:08.120 It's a hundred

00:58:08.620 people.

00:58:09.580 The only reason

00:58:10.620 you could say

00:58:11.260 that Israel

00:58:12.140 losing their

00:58:15.180 percentage is

00:58:16.040 somehow worse

00:58:16.880 than if that

00:58:18.220 same number of

00:58:18.920 people died in

00:58:19.480 the United States,

00:58:20.260 the only way you

00:58:21.160 could say that is

00:58:21.900 if you thought the

00:58:22.540 Israelis were the 1.00

00:58:23.420 special people, that

00:58:24.820 their lives were

00:58:25.560 worth more than

00:58:26.280 American lives.

00:58:27.540 No, a hundred

00:58:28.340 dead Israelis is 0.73

00:58:29.600 worth a hundred

00:58:30.220 dead Americans 0.99

00:58:31.100 because they're all

00:58:32.000 the same in

00:58:33.540 terms of the

00:58:34.080 value of life.

00:58:35.100 So now, don't

00:58:35.540 give me this

00:58:35.920 bullshit about

00:58:36.760 higher percentage.

00:58:38.600 I mean, I

00:58:38.900 understand it.

00:58:39.760 I understand how

00:58:40.500 they feel the

00:58:41.120 way they feel.

00:58:42.500 So if the

00:58:43.540 argument is, you

00:58:45.080 know, people

00:58:45.420 would feel worse,

00:58:47.240 I get that.

00:58:49.120 But how they

00:58:49.960 feel is not how

00:58:51.020 they should

00:58:51.480 prosecute war.

00:58:53.160 That's not the

00:58:54.400 basis upon which

00:58:55.320 you run your

00:58:56.420 business.

00:58:56.920 So I think the

00:58:59.240 analogy is

00:59:01.160 propaganda, and I

00:59:02.340 think using that

00:59:03.080 percentage argument

00:59:04.100 is propaganda, and

00:59:05.880 neither of those

00:59:06.580 seem to be as

00:59:07.780 reasonable arguments.

00:59:12.460 Speaking of

00:59:13.300 imaginary Democrat

00:59:14.400 problems, Scott

00:59:16.060 Galloway also on

00:59:17.120 his podcast said

00:59:18.040 he thinks that

00:59:20.340 Trump will gin up

00:59:21.540 a fake crisis

00:59:22.980 before 2028 so

00:59:24.880 that he can use

00:59:25.500 as an example to

00:59:26.620 gain power.

00:59:29.880 And also,

00:59:31.140 Madeline Dean,

00:59:32.440 she's a Democrat

00:59:33.260 from Pennsylvania,

00:59:34.920 she went on CNN

00:59:35.680 recently to claim

00:59:36.600 that Donald Trump

00:59:37.220 is aging and

00:59:38.280 in cognitive

00:59:38.920 decline.

00:59:40.220 What do those

00:59:40.840 two stories have

00:59:41.740 in common?

00:59:43.040 They are imaginary

00:59:44.380 problems.

00:59:45.860 The Democrats are

00:59:47.080 focusing

00:59:47.720 extraordinarily on

00:59:50.880 imaginary problems.

00:59:51.960 well, we imagine

00:59:53.560 there's something

00:59:54.120 wrong with his

00:59:54.780 brain, even though

00:59:55.540 we're not seeing

00:59:56.100 any evidence.

00:59:57.460 We imagine he

00:59:58.480 might try to gin

00:59:59.440 up this problem

01:00:00.280 in the future so

01:00:01.600 they can remain in

01:00:02.620 power, but there's

01:00:03.620 no evidence of

01:00:04.340 that.

01:00:05.620 So once you

01:00:06.400 realize that the

01:00:07.180 Democrats are

01:00:08.320 focusing on

01:00:09.300 imaginary problems,

01:00:11.020 you realize that

01:00:11.940 the reason they do

01:00:12.720 that is they don't

01:00:15.020 have any solutions

01:00:15.820 for real problems.

01:00:17.900 That's why.

01:00:18.700 do you think

01:00:19.760 that they would

01:00:20.200 focus on

01:00:20.800 imaginary problems

01:00:21.860 if they had

01:00:22.900 any kind of

01:00:23.840 idea what to

01:00:25.220 do about a

01:00:25.700 real problem?

01:00:27.420 I don't think

01:00:28.360 so.

01:00:29.680 Anyway.

01:00:31.840 Gavin Newsom

01:00:32.800 found a way to

01:00:33.460 make things worse.

01:00:35.360 So I guess

01:00:36.060 Breitbart News

01:00:38.180 is writing about

01:00:38.820 this, Paul Boyce.

01:00:40.840 He's found a way

01:00:41.840 to create a new

01:00:42.680 problem where

01:00:43.320 there was none.

01:00:44.120 So the federal

01:00:44.900 government has

01:00:46.360 provided standards

01:00:47.960 to colleges

01:00:48.860 to say if you

01:00:51.120 sign this

01:00:51.720 contract and

01:00:52.660 you agree to

01:00:53.420 this kind of

01:00:54.460 behavior that

01:00:55.260 you know what

01:00:56.180 Trump would ask

01:00:56.760 for, right?

01:00:57.600 Less DEI and

01:00:59.020 less men wearing

01:01:01.180 dresses and sports

01:01:02.320 and stuff like

01:01:02.920 that.

01:01:03.740 So you know

01:01:04.500 what Trump is

01:01:05.180 going to ask

01:01:05.500 for, but if

01:01:06.480 the colleges

01:01:07.240 sign that, then

01:01:09.100 they would have

01:01:09.600 full access to

01:01:10.720 their government

01:01:11.520 funding, but if

01:01:12.820 they're not

01:01:13.180 willing to, they

01:01:13.980 might have some

01:01:15.260 of their

01:01:15.480 federal funding

01:01:16.960 withheld.

01:01:17.400 Well, Governor

01:01:18.700 Newsom, never

01:01:21.200 one to let a

01:01:22.300 good situation

01:01:23.320 persist, decided

01:01:26.360 that he would

01:01:27.120 withhold state

01:01:29.240 funds from

01:01:30.420 colleges if they

01:01:31.720 do sign it.

01:01:33.120 So now he's

01:01:33.760 created a

01:01:34.320 situation where

01:01:35.120 colleges will

01:01:35.940 definitely lose.

01:01:38.720 That's a

01:01:39.840 Democrat plan.

01:01:41.140 So the

01:01:41.560 college will

01:01:42.100 lose if it

01:01:42.860 doesn't sign

01:01:43.540 the federal

01:01:44.040 contract.

01:01:44.740 contract, and

01:01:46.300 now because

01:01:47.180 of Newsom, they

01:01:49.040 have a second

01:01:49.640 way to lose,

01:01:50.580 which is if

01:01:51.300 they do sign

01:01:52.020 the contract.

01:01:53.700 What exactly

01:01:54.660 did the

01:01:55.120 Democrats add

01:01:56.080 to the

01:01:56.540 world?

01:01:57.920 They removed

01:01:58.860 the only

01:01:59.340 escape path,

01:02:00.540 because it's

01:02:01.580 not as if the

01:02:02.280 colleges couldn't

01:02:03.660 agree to stop

01:02:04.820 discriminating and

01:02:06.440 being anti-Semitic.

01:02:08.080 How hard is it

01:02:09.060 to sign the

01:02:09.580 contract that

01:02:10.260 says, yeah,

01:02:10.740 we'll try really

01:02:11.340 hard not to be

01:02:12.020 anti-Semitic,

01:02:12.840 and we'll stop

01:02:13.760 discriminating.

01:02:15.360 That's not

01:02:16.080 exactly some

01:02:18.260 big problem,

01:02:20.040 but Newsom

01:02:21.620 turned it into

01:02:22.280 one.

01:02:23.100 So there's no

01:02:23.920 good news that

01:02:24.740 he can't turn

01:02:25.380 into bad news.

01:02:26.460 How about that

01:02:27.100 bullet train,

01:02:28.060 huh?

01:02:30.360 So here's a

01:02:31.580 shocker.

01:02:32.160 You won't

01:02:32.560 believe this.

01:02:33.240 I mean, this

01:02:33.680 will be the

01:02:34.060 most surprising,

01:02:35.000 amazing thing.

01:02:36.200 Can you

01:02:36.840 believe this?

01:02:38.240 Hamas,

01:02:38.860 military chief,

01:02:39.940 has rejected

01:02:40.660 Trump's

01:02:41.220 ceasefire deal.

01:02:42.840 I was so

01:02:45.140 sure Hamas 0.85

01:02:46.040 was going to

01:02:46.600 surrender.

01:02:48.360 No, I

01:02:49.000 wasn't.

01:02:50.060 There was no

01:02:50.900 chance that

01:02:51.480 Hamas was ever 1.00

01:02:52.440 going to say

01:02:53.040 yes to this

01:02:53.780 deal.

01:02:54.780 There was no

01:02:55.600 chance.

01:02:56.420 They're not

01:02:56.860 going to give

01:02:57.220 up the

01:02:57.520 hostages.

01:02:58.260 They're not

01:02:58.540 going to

01:02:58.780 surrender.

01:02:59.820 They're not

01:03:00.080 going to

01:03:01.200 essentially

01:03:01.820 commit suicide

01:03:03.580 by surrendering.

01:03:05.240 They'll either

01:03:05.600 be in jail

01:03:06.320 forever or

01:03:06.960 they'll get

01:03:07.280 hunted down

01:03:07.880 and murdered

01:03:08.940 separately.

01:03:10.120 And no

01:03:10.520 matter what the

01:03:11.060 agreement is,

01:03:11.740 they're going to

01:03:12.080 get hunted down

01:03:12.740 and murdered.

01:03:13.540 Do you think

01:03:13.940 that the

01:03:14.280 Hamas military

01:03:15.280 chief would

01:03:16.580 be alive a

01:03:17.560 year after

01:03:18.080 they surrendered

01:03:18.960 even if

01:03:19.940 Israel said,

01:03:21.640 all right,

01:03:21.920 we promise you

01:03:22.640 safety.

01:03:23.340 If we can get

01:03:24.260 our hostages

01:03:25.700 back, we

01:03:27.800 won't go after

01:03:28.480 anybody.

01:03:29.220 Do you think

01:03:30.060 that guy's going

01:03:30.700 to be alive in

01:03:31.320 a year?

01:03:32.480 No.

01:03:33.540 The only way

01:03:34.360 he stays alive

01:03:35.200 is if he stays

01:03:36.500 in his little

01:03:37.040 tunnel or

01:03:37.620 wherever the

01:03:38.000 hell he is

01:03:38.520 and keeps

01:03:39.960 trying to be

01:03:40.460 relevant.

01:03:40.820 Otherwise,

01:03:41.480 he'll be

01:03:41.760 very dead

01:03:42.420 and very

01:03:42.880 not relevant.

01:03:44.360 So, of course,

01:03:45.040 he's not going

01:03:45.540 to take the

01:03:45.960 deal.

01:03:47.860 However, that

01:03:49.020 would be a

01:03:49.620 giant win for

01:03:50.480 Israel because 1.00

01:03:51.740 Israel will 1.00

01:03:52.720 look like they

01:03:53.580 made a

01:03:54.060 legitimate offer

01:03:54.980 and it was

01:03:55.800 pretty legitimate.

01:03:57.660 I would say it

01:03:58.580 was close enough

01:03:59.840 to legitimate

01:04:00.540 that maybe they

01:04:01.460 could have

01:04:01.760 tweaked it a

01:04:02.320 little bit,

01:04:03.380 but Hamas is

01:04:04.720 not in the

01:04:05.380 tweaking mode.

01:04:06.140 They're just

01:04:06.560 turning it

01:04:07.180 down.

01:04:08.260 So, that's

01:04:09.120 going to give

01:04:09.680 Israel a free 0.98

01:04:11.060 pass to do

01:04:11.760 whatever they

01:04:12.200 need now.

01:04:12.860 So, it looks

01:04:13.220 like they'll

01:04:13.640 just clear out

01:04:15.560 Gaza and you

01:04:16.720 can call it

01:04:17.260 whatever you

01:04:17.640 want to call

01:04:18.060 it.

01:05:18.320 Well, Tucker Carlson

01:05:20.660 has made a video

01:05:24.240 which was quite

01:05:25.320 provocative, and

01:05:26.620 his point was

01:05:27.900 that Israel has 0.93

01:05:31.440 too much impact

01:05:32.900 on American

01:05:33.740 leadership and

01:05:35.380 American policy,

01:05:36.380 and he wanted

01:05:37.940 four things

01:05:39.260 changed that he

01:05:40.840 thinks would make

01:05:41.440 the situation

01:05:42.120 better.

01:05:42.580 Now, I'm

01:05:44.220 just going to

01:05:44.620 say this is

01:05:45.300 Tucker's

01:05:45.900 argument,

01:05:46.620 right?

01:05:47.460 So, don't

01:05:48.040 associate it

01:05:48.680 with me.

01:05:50.000 I'm just

01:05:50.720 telling you an

01:05:51.400 interesting news

01:05:52.160 story that a

01:05:53.200 major voice in

01:05:55.560 the media is

01:05:57.160 saying something

01:05:57.760 that's kind of

01:05:59.080 risky, kind of

01:06:00.180 provocative, but

01:06:01.860 he makes a point.

01:06:03.140 I'll see if I can

01:06:03.800 summarize it.

01:06:04.520 It's a pretty long

01:06:05.160 video, but

01:06:06.480 actually worth

01:06:07.080 watching, the

01:06:07.780 whole thing,

01:06:08.920 because his

01:06:09.700 argument is

01:06:10.620 interesting, there

01:06:11.640 are places where

01:06:12.680 I would have

01:06:13.640 said, hmm, too

01:06:14.700 far, or maybe

01:06:15.600 you should have

01:06:15.980 put that in

01:06:16.440 context better,

01:06:17.540 but that's not

01:06:18.160 the point.

01:06:19.120 The point is not

01:06:19.820 whether I agree

01:06:20.660 with him or not.

01:06:21.480 The point today is

01:06:23.420 he's making the

01:06:24.180 argument at all.

01:06:25.980 So, that's what

01:06:26.860 I'm going to be

01:06:27.220 talking about,

01:06:27.760 just the bravery

01:06:29.140 and the risk it

01:06:30.400 takes to make

01:06:31.080 this argument.

01:06:32.460 His bigger point

01:06:33.680 is that Israel is

01:06:35.220 a tiny little

01:06:36.040 country of 9

01:06:36.820 million people

01:06:37.480 with an economy

01:06:39.900 less than New

01:06:40.800 Jersey and a

01:06:41.680 physical size

01:06:42.440 less than New

01:06:43.060 Jersey, and that

01:06:44.500 we should not

01:06:45.160 consider it our

01:06:46.160 most important

01:06:47.040 thing, and that

01:06:50.780 we act as

01:06:51.640 though nothing's

01:06:53.280 more important

01:06:53.820 than Israel.

01:06:55.140 And he is

01:06:56.040 trying to put

01:06:56.960 that back in

01:06:57.560 context and say,

01:06:58.680 actually, they

01:06:59.980 don't matter to

01:07:00.760 us at all.

01:07:01.920 Now, I know

01:07:02.340 what you're going

01:07:02.660 to say, but

01:07:03.380 yes, Scott, they

01:07:04.220 do matter.

01:07:04.880 Why didn't he

01:07:05.480 mention that

01:07:07.440 they give

01:07:10.060 us a, you

01:07:12.440 know, some

01:07:13.700 purchase in the

01:07:14.520 Middle East, and

01:07:15.460 it allows us to

01:07:17.020 fight them over

01:07:17.720 there before, you

01:07:19.120 know, the bad

01:07:19.540 guys come in

01:07:20.240 fighting over

01:07:20.720 here, and all

01:07:21.580 that.

01:07:21.920 So, everybody

01:07:22.480 knows the other

01:07:23.100 argument, and he

01:07:24.540 downplayed those.

01:07:27.580 That would be

01:07:28.220 fair to say.

01:07:29.100 He was making

01:07:29.960 his points, and

01:07:31.860 when you make

01:07:32.400 your point, you

01:07:34.060 have that

01:07:34.420 documentary effect

01:07:35.600 where the

01:07:36.680 whole point is

01:07:37.440 that, you

01:07:38.020 know, if you

01:07:38.440 listen to a

01:07:38.960 91-minute video,

01:07:40.220 it's pretty long.

01:07:42.700 It's not going

01:07:43.420 to be both

01:07:43.900 sides.

01:07:44.860 And when you're

01:07:45.400 done, you're

01:07:45.800 going to be

01:07:46.000 pretty persuaded

01:07:46.760 because you

01:07:47.200 listened to one

01:07:47.880 point of view

01:07:48.420 for a long

01:07:48.940 period of time.

01:07:49.660 That's the

01:07:50.420 documentary

01:07:50.920 problem.

01:07:52.760 So, beware of

01:07:53.480 the documentary

01:07:53.940 problem on that,

01:07:55.180 but you should be

01:07:56.820 aware of the

01:07:57.420 argument.

01:07:59.500 So, he doesn't

01:08:00.380 want the U.S.

01:08:01.440 to be ordered

01:08:02.120 around by a

01:08:02.940 client state.

01:08:03.920 He's heard

01:08:04.580 stories of

01:08:05.520 Mossad marching

01:08:07.440 into the

01:08:07.900 Pentagon and

01:08:08.760 giving orders to

01:08:10.460 the American

01:08:10.940 military.

01:08:12.080 I don't know if

01:08:12.680 I believe those

01:08:13.340 stories.

01:08:14.180 That sounds

01:08:14.680 exaggerated to

01:08:15.500 me.

01:08:16.360 Here's what seems

01:08:17.540 more likely

01:08:18.300 true.

01:08:19.280 So, the story

01:08:20.080 is that Mossad

01:08:20.880 could just walk

01:08:21.960 into the

01:08:22.340 Pentagon and

01:08:23.060 walk into a

01:08:23.660 meeting and

01:08:24.160 tell people what

01:08:24.940 to do.

01:08:26.160 That feels

01:08:27.120 like a little

01:08:28.560 bit of a

01:08:30.060 narrative.

01:08:31.360 It does seem

01:08:32.420 to me that if

01:08:33.840 the topic was

01:08:37.100 a war in

01:08:37.940 which Israel

01:08:38.680 was the main

01:08:39.620 player, that

01:08:41.420 the people who

01:08:42.060 were the main

01:08:42.580 players would

01:08:43.220 have the most

01:08:43.820 information and

01:08:45.380 the most

01:08:45.940 incentive to

01:08:47.300 talk to the

01:08:47.920 right people and

01:08:48.920 also the

01:08:49.860 confidence to

01:08:50.640 say, you have

01:08:51.540 to do this.

01:08:53.180 You're just

01:08:53.760 going to have to

01:08:54.200 do this.

01:08:54.680 Let me explain.

01:08:55.300 We know

01:08:55.580 everything about

01:08:56.140 the area.

01:08:57.320 You're going to

01:08:57.900 have to be with

01:08:58.520 us.

01:08:58.740 You're going to

01:08:59.000 have to do

01:08:59.400 this.

01:08:59.960 Now, we might

01:09:00.640 disagree.

01:09:01.980 Maybe we don't

01:09:02.700 have to do

01:09:03.180 that.

01:09:04.260 Maybe that's

01:09:04.940 not necessary.

01:09:05.900 Maybe that's

01:09:06.280 not in our

01:09:06.660 best interest.

01:09:08.000 But it

01:09:09.460 certainly makes

01:09:10.400 sense that the

01:09:11.040 people who are

01:09:11.560 closest to it

01:09:12.720 and feel that

01:09:14.140 it's an

01:09:14.580 existential risk,

01:09:15.940 which it was

01:09:16.660 for Israel.

01:09:17.800 Israel is

01:09:18.440 dealing with an

01:09:19.020 existential risk.

01:09:20.920 So, yeah,

01:09:21.760 they're going to

01:09:22.140 be a little bit

01:09:22.980 insistent that

01:09:24.960 you do what

01:09:25.620 they need to

01:09:27.000 survive.

01:09:28.440 Right?

01:09:28.860 So, if they're

01:09:29.880 a little bit

01:09:30.520 arrogant, a little

01:09:31.460 bit pushy, you

01:09:34.380 have every right

01:09:35.020 not to like

01:09:35.640 that.

01:09:36.900 But I

01:09:37.480 certainly

01:09:37.760 understand it.

01:09:39.300 Right?

01:09:40.740 If you were

01:09:41.600 Israel and

01:09:42.880 you thought it

01:09:43.640 was an

01:09:43.960 existential risk,

01:09:45.600 it was that

01:09:46.140 important, you'd

01:09:47.320 push.

01:09:48.180 You would push

01:09:49.180 until somebody

01:09:50.000 was really

01:09:50.740 unhappy how

01:09:51.540 hard you were

01:09:51.960 pushing.

01:09:53.120 So, does that

01:09:53.900 bother me?

01:09:54.920 Well, I don't

01:09:56.220 know enough

01:09:56.680 about, you

01:09:57.420 know, I think

01:09:57.960 you'd have to

01:09:58.380 be in the

01:09:59.060 room to know

01:10:00.260 if they push

01:10:00.860 too hard, but

01:10:02.580 I don't

01:10:02.880 mind that

01:10:03.380 there's a

01:10:03.760 little bit

01:10:04.140 of a push

01:10:06.220 back.

01:10:07.140 That seems

01:10:07.720 healthy.

01:10:09.740 Obviously, you

01:10:10.520 can't let

01:10:10.900 Israel run

01:10:11.540 the Pentagon,

01:10:12.780 but in the

01:10:14.440 case where

01:10:14.900 they know

01:10:15.380 the most

01:10:15.940 and have

01:10:16.420 the most

01:10:16.820 at stake,

01:10:18.680 yeah, of

01:10:19.740 course you

01:10:20.080 get to

01:10:20.240 listen to

01:10:20.600 them.

01:10:22.380 So, anyway,

01:10:24.940 let's see,

01:10:26.000 and then

01:10:26.380 Tucker says

01:10:28.880 that we

01:10:29.160 should adjust

01:10:30.060 our theological

01:10:31.080 view of

01:10:32.600 Israel because 1.00

01:10:33.180 a lot of

01:10:33.620 Christians

01:10:35.080 believe that

01:10:35.980 God favors

01:10:36.880 certain people

01:10:37.620 in certain

01:10:38.240 real estate,

01:10:39.800 and Tucker

01:10:40.680 says, no,

01:10:41.440 God doesn't

01:10:41.980 do that.

01:10:43.180 That's the

01:10:43.580 opposite of

01:10:44.080 what God

01:10:44.460 does.

01:10:44.860 Everybody's

01:10:45.260 equal.

01:10:45.740 There's no

01:10:46.100 chosen people.

01:10:48.040 Tucker thinks

01:10:49.380 AIPAC should

01:10:50.140 be registered

01:10:51.500 as a foreign

01:10:52.660 agent.

01:10:54.400 It's one of

01:10:55.680 the few that

01:10:56.260 is not.

01:10:56.700 There's some

01:10:57.420 technical reason

01:10:58.420 why they're

01:10:58.820 not.

01:11:00.580 I think the

01:11:01.220 technical reason,

01:11:02.280 well, it's not

01:11:02.660 even technical.

01:11:04.140 It's a direct

01:11:05.000 reason.

01:11:05.820 The reason AIPAC

01:11:06.740 is not

01:11:07.280 registered is

01:11:08.840 because it's a

01:11:09.520 bunch of

01:11:09.800 Americans doing 0.91

01:11:11.640 things for

01:11:12.280 America.

01:11:13.000 I don't know.

01:11:14.980 That doesn't

01:11:15.780 even make sense.

01:11:16.960 I've heard an

01:11:17.860 argument why

01:11:18.800 they're the

01:11:19.240 exception, and

01:11:20.100 I can't remember

01:11:20.900 it now, which

01:11:21.960 makes me think

01:11:22.660 it's not a very

01:11:23.320 good argument.

01:11:23.880 So there

01:11:26.640 might be a

01:11:27.100 technical reason

01:11:27.980 they're not, but

01:11:28.840 I would agree

01:11:29.420 with the idea

01:11:32.180 that anybody

01:11:32.800 who's influencing

01:11:33.500 the U.S.

01:11:34.300 in that way,

01:11:35.740 you would want

01:11:36.400 them to be part

01:11:37.140 of FARA, but

01:11:37.900 I don't see how

01:11:38.360 it would make

01:11:38.600 any difference.

01:11:39.640 What difference

01:11:40.140 would it make?

01:11:41.080 If they

01:11:41.640 registered to

01:11:42.400 be a FARA 0.99

01:11:43.360 entity, isn't

01:11:45.460 that just

01:11:45.780 paperwork?

01:11:47.600 Wouldn't

01:11:47.940 they do

01:11:48.340 exactly the

01:11:49.000 same things

01:11:49.500 they're doing?

01:11:50.940 I don't know

01:11:51.600 how that makes

01:11:52.080 a difference.

01:11:53.880 Somebody will

01:11:54.440 tell me.

01:11:56.500 And then

01:11:56.880 Tucker said

01:11:57.600 he doesn't

01:11:58.240 like dual

01:11:58.880 citizenship, but

01:12:00.260 not limited to

01:12:01.240 Israel, but 0.90

01:12:02.600 limited to

01:12:03.500 anybody.

01:12:05.760 So apparently

01:12:06.680 there are a

01:12:07.120 number of dual

01:12:07.800 citizenship people

01:12:09.440 in Congress.

01:12:10.380 So he's talking

01:12:11.180 about Congress

01:12:11.800 specifically.

01:12:12.820 He doesn't

01:12:13.240 like people in

01:12:13.880 Congress having

01:12:14.500 dual citizenship.

01:12:15.960 What do you

01:12:16.500 think about that?

01:12:17.740 Do you think

01:12:18.100 people in Congress

01:12:18.940 should have dual

01:12:19.680 citizenship?

01:12:20.240 I say no.

01:12:23.260 Yeah, no.

01:12:24.540 This has nothing

01:12:25.460 to do with

01:12:25.880 Israel.

01:12:27.160 I mean, it

01:12:27.800 does have to

01:12:28.260 do with Israel,

01:12:28.860 but not

01:12:30.140 because of

01:12:30.720 Israel.

01:12:31.680 I don't want

01:12:32.760 anybody in

01:12:33.300 Congress with

01:12:33.900 dual citizenship.

01:12:35.660 I don't want

01:12:36.420 to have to

01:12:36.780 worry about

01:12:38.380 any dual

01:12:39.740 loyalties.

01:12:40.540 I'm not

01:12:40.780 criticizing

01:12:41.860 anybody, but

01:12:43.180 you shouldn't

01:12:43.640 even have the

01:12:44.220 appearance.

01:12:45.940 You should

01:12:46.380 manage the

01:12:47.300 appearance of

01:12:48.020 it as much

01:12:48.660 as the

01:12:49.000 actuality.

01:12:50.440 So yeah,

01:12:50.980 I'm not in

01:12:52.180 favor of

01:12:52.520 dual citizenship

01:12:53.260 for people

01:12:54.760 in Congress.

01:12:57.180 He says we

01:12:58.080 should be

01:12:58.400 more America

01:12:58.980 first, and

01:13:00.080 I guess

01:13:03.140 that's it.

01:13:04.760 So the

01:13:05.780 brave part

01:13:06.400 about this

01:13:06.980 is that

01:13:07.600 Tucker is

01:13:08.160 being accused

01:13:08.740 of being

01:13:09.060 anti-Semitic

01:13:10.040 because he

01:13:10.620 doesn't spend

01:13:12.480 as much

01:13:13.080 time talking

01:13:14.580 in a pro-Israel

01:13:15.600 way as he

01:13:16.260 talks in a

01:13:16.980 negative Israel

01:13:17.600 way.

01:13:17.860 But I

01:13:18.740 would argue

01:13:19.160 that the

01:13:19.820 pro-Israel

01:13:21.460 argument is

01:13:22.320 so completely

01:13:23.700 obvious that

01:13:24.600 you don't

01:13:24.980 need to

01:13:25.360 talk about

01:13:25.800 it.

01:13:26.560 Is anybody

01:13:27.460 in favor

01:13:28.320 of Hamas

01:13:29.200 massacring

01:13:31.540 people?

01:13:32.860 I mean,

01:13:33.280 do you have

01:13:33.980 to mention

01:13:34.380 that every

01:13:34.920 time you

01:13:35.320 talk about

01:13:35.880 it?

01:13:36.260 Not really,

01:13:37.060 because everybody

01:13:37.560 is on the

01:13:37.940 same side.

01:13:39.500 Do you

01:13:40.140 have to say

01:13:40.760 that we

01:13:41.520 don't want

01:13:42.100 radical,

01:13:43.440 extremist,

01:13:44.200 Islamic

01:13:44.620 people to

01:13:46.240 take over

01:13:47.200 Israel? 0.53

01:13:48.080 Of course

01:13:48.480 we don't.

01:13:49.480 Of course

01:13:50.040 we don't.

01:13:50.880 Tucker

01:13:51.120 doesn't.

01:13:51.760 Nobody

01:13:52.180 does.

01:13:53.120 So I'm

01:13:53.440 not sure

01:13:53.760 how much

01:13:54.100 you even

01:13:54.360 need to

01:13:54.660 say that

01:13:55.160 stuff.

01:13:56.960 But you

01:13:57.540 might have

01:13:57.880 to say

01:13:58.180 some other

01:13:58.600 stuff.

01:14:00.320 Anyway,

01:14:01.120 so I put

01:14:01.780 my own

01:14:02.160 comment on

01:14:02.920 a post

01:14:03.840 on it,

01:14:04.260 and here's

01:14:04.700 what I

01:14:05.020 said,

01:14:06.200 causing

01:14:06.620 some trouble

01:14:07.240 myself.

01:14:07.880 I said,

01:14:08.240 as a rule,

01:14:08.800 I don't

01:14:09.120 criticize Israel 0.79

01:14:10.040 because that

01:14:10.600 would be a

01:14:11.080 career death

01:14:11.960 wish,

01:14:12.320 as literally

01:14:13.640 everyone

01:14:14.300 knows.

01:14:15.560 I don't

01:14:15.940 expect

01:14:16.300 Tucker to

01:14:16.860 survive this

01:14:17.480 unscathed

01:14:18.160 career-wise.

01:14:19.440 Career-wise,

01:14:20.240 I don't

01:14:20.560 expect him

01:14:21.160 to be

01:14:21.420 unscathed,

01:14:22.180 which will

01:14:22.840 prove his

01:14:23.360 point.

01:14:24.520 That will

01:14:25.180 prove his

01:14:25.600 point if he

01:14:26.400 can't even

01:14:26.820 talk about it

01:14:27.540 with free

01:14:28.180 speech.

01:14:31.240 So what do

01:14:32.080 you think

01:14:32.320 happened when

01:14:33.040 I said I

01:14:33.660 won't

01:14:34.040 criticize

01:14:34.500 Israel? 0.53

01:14:35.080 I was

01:14:37.120 attacked by

01:14:37.920 pro-Israel

01:14:38.500 people for

01:14:40.360 saying that

01:14:40.880 I won't

01:14:41.420 criticize

01:14:41.980 Israel.

01:14:43.800 That

01:14:44.360 actually

01:14:45.040 happened.

01:14:47.020 So you

01:14:49.420 can attack

01:14:49.960 for being

01:14:50.400 a racist

01:14:50.820 for saying

01:14:52.040 that you

01:14:52.440 don't want

01:14:53.080 to take

01:14:53.580 the risk

01:14:54.040 of attacking

01:14:54.720 Israel,

01:14:55.580 because if

01:14:56.080 you do,

01:14:57.160 with any

01:14:57.720 criticism at

01:14:59.060 all,

01:14:59.560 you'll be

01:14:59.920 called a

01:15:00.320 racist.

01:15:01.320 And to

01:15:01.620 prove me

01:15:02.080 wrong,

01:15:02.520 people called

01:15:03.040 me a

01:15:03.320 racist.

01:15:04.400 To prove

01:15:04.840 me

01:15:05.000 wrong.

01:15:06.340 That's

01:15:06.780 what I

01:15:07.020 said would

01:15:07.380 be the

01:15:07.620 problem.

01:15:08.640 So to

01:15:09.260 prove me

01:15:09.680 wrong,

01:15:09.960 they proved

01:15:10.300 me right.

01:15:12.120 What else

01:15:12.780 do I need

01:15:13.180 to say?

01:15:15.760 And then

01:15:16.440 they were

01:15:16.720 also so

01:15:17.400 fucking

01:15:17.760 dumb that

01:15:18.300 they didn't

01:15:18.720 know that I

01:15:19.180 just gave

01:15:19.640 the ultimate

01:15:20.200 criticism to

01:15:21.120 Israel by

01:15:21.680 saying that I

01:15:22.280 wasn't allowed

01:15:22.760 to criticize

01:15:23.280 them.

01:15:24.660 Wake up,

01:15:25.240 people.

01:15:26.860 Wake the

01:15:27.540 fuck up.

01:15:28.900 All right.

01:15:29.500 The Israeli

01:15:30.300 Navy also

01:15:31.540 intercepted the

01:15:33.520 global

01:15:34.160 Samud

01:15:35.160 flotilla.

01:15:36.840 That's the

01:15:37.580 Greta

01:15:37.920 Thunberg

01:15:39.040 flotilla.

01:15:40.100 Greta did

01:15:40.520 a little

01:15:40.780 video saying

01:15:41.540 that she'd

01:15:41.920 been captured

01:15:42.580 by the

01:15:44.380 Israeli

01:15:44.880 Navy.

01:15:46.600 Grok tells

01:15:47.740 us that

01:15:48.500 most of

01:15:50.020 the flotilla

01:15:50.820 has been

01:15:51.720 rounded up

01:15:52.400 by the

01:15:52.940 Israelis,

01:15:53.600 but because

01:15:54.540 it caused

01:15:55.120 a, I

01:15:56.440 guess,

01:15:56.660 a disruption

01:15:57.320 in the

01:15:58.020 Israeli

01:15:58.420 Navy to

01:15:59.660 go, you

01:16:00.360 know, deal

01:16:00.660 with these

01:16:01.000 people.

01:16:01.480 It allowed

01:16:01.860 the local

01:16:02.480 fishermen to

01:16:04.120 fish the

01:16:04.900 coastal areas

01:16:05.740 for the

01:16:06.120 first time

01:16:06.560 in years,

01:16:07.340 and they

01:16:09.140 got this

01:16:09.500 substantial

01:16:10.020 fish catch.

01:16:11.440 So they're

01:16:12.300 worried about

01:16:12.780 starving, and

01:16:14.000 apparently they're

01:16:15.220 banned from

01:16:16.060 fishing in

01:16:17.640 their own

01:16:18.260 waters.

01:16:18.980 So I'm

01:16:20.840 sure there's

01:16:21.320 another side

01:16:22.400 to that

01:16:22.800 story, because

01:16:24.280 you got to

01:16:24.700 make sure

01:16:25.780 that the

01:16:26.180 water's not

01:16:26.680 being used

01:16:27.420 to ship

01:16:28.660 in a bunch

01:16:29.060 of weapons,

01:16:30.080 which they

01:16:30.500 would.

01:16:31.340 If fishing

01:16:31.920 were allowed,

01:16:32.760 I'm sure

01:16:33.140 that it would

01:16:33.920 take 10

01:16:34.380 seconds for

01:16:35.000 somebody to

01:16:35.500 put some

01:16:35.960 illegal weapons

01:16:37.200 on a

01:16:37.540 fishing boat

01:16:38.180 and try to

01:16:39.320 get that

01:16:40.120 in.

01:16:42.720 So Greta

01:16:43.720 is captured.

01:16:46.800 And yesterday

01:16:47.800 I told you

01:16:48.360 there was

01:16:48.740 allegedly a

01:16:50.260 story that

01:16:50.780 the flotilla

01:16:51.500 had been

01:16:52.120 funded by

01:16:53.740 some Hamas

01:16:55.020 entities.

01:16:56.620 I don't

01:16:56.980 know if

01:16:57.240 that's proven

01:16:57.740 or not.

01:16:59.700 All right.

01:17:01.240 In other

01:17:02.040 news, the

01:17:02.600 FBI did a

01:17:03.640 nationwide

01:17:04.080 crackdown this

01:17:05.080 year, and

01:17:06.420 they've got

01:17:06.980 8,000 arrests

01:17:08.400 in three months,

01:17:09.700 according to

01:17:10.340 just the

01:17:11.320 news.

01:17:12.720 Misty

01:17:13.180 Severi is 0.53

01:17:13.860 writing.

01:17:14.640 And I

01:17:15.020 wondered, is

01:17:15.620 that enough

01:17:16.020 that we would

01:17:16.520 see a

01:17:16.840 difference?

01:17:17.560 They seized

01:17:18.580 2,200 guns

01:17:19.820 and have

01:17:20.180 8,600 arrests

01:17:21.380 in three months.

01:17:22.900 Is 8,600

01:17:23.860 arrests of

01:17:24.760 presumably these

01:17:26.180 are some of

01:17:26.580 the worst of

01:17:27.140 the bad guys

01:17:27.820 because the

01:17:28.240 FBI was

01:17:28.880 involved?

01:17:30.220 Will we

01:17:30.600 notice that?

01:17:31.740 Is that

01:17:32.240 enough?

01:17:32.560 what, you

01:17:38.700 don't think

01:17:39.380 Israel is

01:17:40.020 pertinent to

01:17:40.720 the U.S.?

01:17:41.680 Somebody in

01:17:43.360 the comments

01:17:43.860 is saying,

01:17:44.480 it's

01:17:44.660 embarrassing

01:17:45.120 that I

01:17:45.600 can't find

01:17:46.240 U.S.

01:17:48.020 based stories

01:17:49.020 to talk

01:17:50.240 about.

01:17:51.020 You don't

01:17:51.620 think Israel 0.93

01:17:52.480 is a U.S.

01:17:53.120 based story?

01:17:54.260 I think

01:17:54.960 you're missing

01:17:55.360 a lot.

01:17:56.800 That's a U.S. 0.77

01:17:57.780 based story.

01:17:59.060 It's about as

01:17:59.820 U.S.

01:18:00.200 based as you

01:18:00.760 could get.

01:18:03.840 Anyway,

01:18:04.800 so let's

01:18:05.540 hope that's

01:18:06.060 a lot of

01:18:06.640 bad guys

01:18:07.120 that got

01:18:07.380 caught.

01:18:08.700 There's a

01:18:09.520 startup called

01:18:11.320 ARC.

01:18:12.420 They've got a

01:18:13.060 spaceship and

01:18:14.380 their plan is

01:18:15.160 to have their

01:18:15.580 spaceship,

01:18:16.580 their spaceships

01:18:17.960 orbiting the

01:18:19.500 Earth so

01:18:20.660 that they can

01:18:21.200 deliver what

01:18:22.020 you need

01:18:22.460 within an

01:18:22.960 hour to

01:18:23.480 any place,

01:18:24.740 primarily for

01:18:25.800 military stuff

01:18:26.760 at first.

01:18:29.560 I don't know

01:18:30.360 what kind

01:18:30.740 of stuff

01:18:31.200 you would

01:18:31.620 put in

01:18:31.980 space just

01:18:32.880 in case

01:18:33.300 you needed

01:18:33.740 it in a

01:18:34.340 military sense,

01:18:35.820 but it's

01:18:36.540 kind of an

01:18:36.920 interesting idea.

01:18:38.540 I don't know

01:18:39.100 what their

01:18:40.020 potential is on

01:18:41.020 that, but

01:18:41.600 it's kind of

01:18:42.000 interesting that

01:18:42.680 they would use

01:18:43.240 space as

01:18:44.120 their delivery

01:18:44.840 highway, I

01:18:47.720 guess.

01:18:50.640 All right.

01:18:53.060 MIT has

01:18:54.040 developed a

01:18:54.960 better concrete

01:18:56.560 battery, so I

01:18:58.040 guess they

01:18:58.420 can mix

01:18:58.980 some carbon

01:18:59.700 cement

01:19:00.260 supercapacitor

01:19:01.520 stuff into

01:19:02.160 your concrete

01:19:04.180 and you

01:19:05.520 could store

01:19:06.220 enough to

01:19:06.960 take care of

01:19:08.900 a house with

01:19:10.200 one wall of

01:19:11.740 concrete,

01:19:12.280 basically.

01:19:14.300 So that

01:19:15.140 would be

01:19:15.420 cool.

01:19:16.040 Imagine if

01:19:16.960 every house

01:19:18.400 could be built

01:19:19.160 with a concrete

01:19:20.500 basement and

01:19:21.980 the concrete

01:19:22.560 basement was a

01:19:23.720 perpetual battery,

01:19:25.300 like it would

01:19:25.680 never need to be

01:19:26.980 changed and it

01:19:28.500 would be enough

01:19:29.520 of a battery for

01:19:30.260 your whole house

01:19:30.880 and presumably

01:19:33.180 that would be a

01:19:34.080 safe battery.

01:19:35.020 I'm worried

01:19:35.400 about these

01:19:37.040 standard batteries

01:19:38.120 that you put on

01:19:39.620 the outside of

01:19:40.140 your house because

01:19:41.140 sometimes they

01:19:42.560 can catch on

01:19:43.200 fire, but I

01:19:44.340 can't imagine

01:19:45.240 concrete catching

01:19:46.320 on fire even

01:19:47.160 if it had some

01:19:48.080 electrical

01:19:50.180 qualities.

01:19:51.160 Maybe I'm

01:19:51.640 wrong, but it

01:19:52.980 seems like this

01:19:53.520 could have a lot

01:19:53.960 of potential.

01:19:56.240 Well, Taiwan 0.83

01:19:56.980 has rejected

01:19:57.700 the U.S.

01:19:58.380 proposal, CNBC

01:19:59.620 is saying,

01:20:01.180 that we

01:20:02.740 were going to

01:20:03.120 go 50, no,

01:20:04.680 we wanted

01:20:05.320 Taiwan to

01:20:06.480 make 50%

01:20:07.380 of their chips

01:20:07.920 in the U.S.

01:20:09.600 and they

01:20:10.320 said, no way,

01:20:11.500 so this is part

01:20:12.120 of the tariff

01:20:13.240 negotiations, I

01:20:14.240 guess, but the

01:20:15.540 idea was that

01:20:16.940 we would be

01:20:19.300 safer in terms

01:20:20.960 of our chip

01:20:21.520 supply if at

01:20:22.340 least some of

01:20:22.820 them remain in

01:20:23.360 the United

01:20:23.620 States, but

01:20:24.680 Taiwan says, no

01:20:25.800 way, and my

01:20:27.560 question is, what

01:20:29.100 leverage does

01:20:29.880 Taiwan have?

01:20:31.940 Doesn't Taiwan 0.98

01:20:32.720 need the U.S. 0.96

01:20:34.080 military to

01:20:34.720 protect them?

01:20:35.800 Can they really

01:20:36.440 say no to we 0.99

01:20:38.500 want you to make

01:20:39.120 50% of it in the

01:20:40.400 U.S.?

01:20:41.300 You know, not

01:20:41.760 right away, but

01:20:42.840 that would be the

01:20:43.780 plan.

01:20:45.280 I don't know.

01:20:46.140 Pretty gutsy of

01:20:47.180 Taiwan to

01:20:48.020 negotiate, but if

01:20:50.380 Trump gets tough,

01:20:51.880 he will literally

01:20:53.080 say, I'm going

01:20:53.760 to withdraw my

01:20:55.180 military support.

01:20:58.860 Now, I don't

01:20:59.420 think he can

01:21:00.300 because we can't

01:21:01.440 really risk losing

01:21:02.320 those chips, so

01:21:03.940 probably we can't

01:21:05.160 do that in reality,

01:21:06.380 but he could

01:21:06.840 certainly threaten

01:21:07.980 it, and that

01:21:09.620 should send them

01:21:10.680 into a tizzy.

01:21:13.360 Well, Trump is

01:21:14.560 floating the idea,

01:21:15.880 Just News is

01:21:16.640 reporting, of

01:21:17.900 doing rebate

01:21:19.200 checks based on

01:21:20.620 some but not

01:21:22.060 all the tariff

01:21:23.340 revenue coming

01:21:24.800 in.

01:21:25.420 He's thinking of

01:21:26.140 $1,000 to $2,000.

01:21:27.700 I'm generally

01:21:28.680 opposed to that

01:21:30.580 because I think

01:21:32.640 we should be

01:21:33.140 paying down the

01:21:33.840 debt instead,

01:21:35.180 but it would be

01:21:36.060 stimulative, and

01:21:37.240 things are so

01:21:38.880 tight at the

01:21:39.580 moment that it

01:21:40.860 probably would be

01:21:41.480 a godsend to

01:21:42.580 quite a few

01:21:43.220 families.

01:21:43.680 So, given

01:21:45.280 the bad

01:21:46.440 economic, the

01:21:48.260 tightness of

01:21:49.100 people's budgets

01:21:49.920 at the lower

01:21:50.800 income level, I'm

01:21:53.400 softening to

01:21:54.180 this.

01:21:55.740 It might be a

01:21:56.560 way to give

01:21:57.360 people just a

01:21:58.100 little bit of a

01:21:59.140 safety net without

01:22:00.740 doing too much.

01:22:03.380 It won't look

01:22:04.140 like it's a

01:22:04.660 budget buster, but

01:22:06.460 I wouldn't go

01:22:07.400 too big, but I

01:22:09.900 would say I'm

01:22:10.380 open to that

01:22:11.060 where I was

01:22:11.760 definitely not

01:22:12.460 open to it

01:22:13.060 before, but I'm

01:22:14.320 open to it

01:22:14.800 because the

01:22:15.520 budgets of

01:22:17.180 ordinary people

01:22:18.040 are just getting

01:22:18.780 worse just so

01:22:20.120 fast, and I

01:22:21.800 think we have to

01:22:22.280 do something.

01:22:23.420 You know,

01:22:23.680 otherwise people

01:22:24.360 are just literally

01:22:25.020 going to be

01:22:25.400 starving pretty

01:22:26.060 soon.

01:22:26.940 All right,

01:22:27.380 that's all I

01:22:27.800 got for you

01:22:28.400 today.

01:22:31.080 I'll try not

01:22:31.900 to fall down

01:22:32.500 any more stairs

01:22:33.220 today.

01:22:34.080 I promise I'll

01:22:34.840 use the elevator.

01:22:37.060 And thanks for

01:22:37.940 joining, everybody.

01:22:39.400 I'm going to say

01:22:39.980 a few words

01:22:40.460 privately to my

01:22:41.420 beloved,

01:22:42.460 subscribers on

01:22:43.840 Locals.

01:22:45.220 In 30 seconds,

01:22:46.320 I'll be private

01:22:46.980 with them and

01:22:47.660 the rest of you.

01:22:48.620 I always

01:22:49.220 appreciate you

01:22:49.940 coming.
