Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 3006 CWSA 11⧸01⧸25

00:00:00.960 Good morning, good morning.

00:00:02.780 You know, I was going to have a theme song playing this morning, but I bet I can still

00:00:08.000 do it.

00:00:09.040 While you're folding in here and grabbing a chair, grab the beverage, I'm going to delight

00:00:18.120 you in a moment, for the first time.

00:00:23.900 Oh, I can't do that if I'm alive, I guess.

00:00:26.680 Maybe I can.

00:00:28.460 We'll find out.

00:00:29.480 We'll find out how many things I can do at the same time when I'm alive.

00:00:34.440 All right.

00:00:35.220 This will be a special treat if it works.

00:00:42.840 Work, work.

00:00:45.360 Damn it.

00:00:47.400 All right, I'll try this.

00:00:48.260 Ask the question, can you train your mind to be happy?

00:00:51.380 And it says, yes, expert says, would you like to know how?

00:00:55.440 There we go.

00:00:55.960 Would you like me to train you with my?

00:00:59.480 Get the person's experience and to have to be happier.

00:01:04.440 All right.

00:01:05.000 Well, I won't hypnotize you.

00:01:06.400 I'll just tell you how to do it.

00:01:07.440 Oh, yeah.

00:01:07.720 I'll just tell you how to do it.

00:01:08.720 Number one.

00:01:09.560 Number one.

00:01:10.180 Number one.

00:01:10.680 Whatever you think about the most is who you are.

00:01:13.460 Yeah.

00:01:13.960 That's who you are.

00:01:21.020 All right.

00:01:23.580 All right.

00:01:27.580 Well, so that's Akira the Don.

00:01:30.360 That's one of two songs that he dropped this week that feature my voice as sampled from my podcast.

00:01:37.660 So it's not AI.

00:01:39.080 It's my actual voice.

00:01:40.460 And he combines that with his own music in the background.

00:01:44.380 So everything except the recording of my voice is his work.

00:01:50.260 And it's amazing.

00:01:52.480 Have you listened to it?

00:01:54.440 You know, I've told you before I'm not really a music guy.

00:01:57.300 So it takes a lot to impress me, music-wise.

00:02:01.620 There's something extra going on here that's more than just the fact that it's my voice.

00:02:08.120 So, you know, obviously I like my voice.

00:02:12.240 He's Akira following me for, I don't know, a decade or something.

00:02:18.840 A long time.

00:02:19.720 And so I know he's picking up my influence on persuasion, pacing, leading, stuff like that.

00:02:28.380 And I swear to God, I see that in the music.

00:02:31.880 And so the music hits me different than music, different than poetry, different than text,

00:02:39.380 different than a podcast.

00:02:41.500 Whatever's going on that Akira is doing is music plus.

00:02:47.260 It's not music.

00:02:48.000 It's music plus.

00:02:49.060 I just don't know what the plus is.

00:02:51.660 But you can feel it.

00:02:53.840 You know, you can feel his talent stack.

00:02:57.840 So it's just wonderful pairing.

00:03:00.820 Anyway, there's a newer one out.

00:03:03.120 Just look for Akira the Don, A-K-I-R-A.

00:03:08.260 There won't be many of those.

00:03:09.840 I think you'll find it on YouTube and wherever you download music.

00:03:14.560 All right.

00:03:17.280 Do not panic.

00:03:18.660 There will be a sip.

00:03:20.940 There will be.

00:03:23.880 I just had planned to have that as my theme song.

00:03:26.460 I wasn't ready.

00:03:30.540 Good morning, everybody.

00:03:31.800 And welcome to the highlight of human civilization.

00:03:34.620 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:03:36.780 And it's the best thing that ever happened to you in your whole life.

00:03:39.160 But if you'd like to try to elevate that experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains.

00:03:48.040 All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tank or a chalice or a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.

00:03:57.080 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:03:58.800 I like coffee.

00:04:00.240 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:04:02.060 The dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:04:05.180 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:04:08.500 And it happens now.

00:04:11.760 I remember when I had hot coffee.

00:04:20.480 It was great.

00:04:22.200 So you missed the...

00:04:24.460 I was talking to the local subscribers before the real podcast started.

00:04:29.280 And I was telling them that I'd been complaining about the bad quality of my coffee warmer.

00:04:39.140 And one of my beloved subscribers on Locals sent me a new one.

00:04:45.080 And I'm like, wow.

00:04:46.580 And this freaking thing is like modern.

00:04:49.760 You know, it's got the time of day around it.

00:04:52.480 So you don't have any hours it's set to be warm.

00:04:55.280 You know, so you don't leave it on.

00:04:56.620 It's got a power button.

00:04:58.320 And it'll actually tell you the temperature.

00:05:00.860 Well, my old one didn't have that.

00:05:02.780 It tells you the temperature.

00:05:04.160 There's only one thing it doesn't do, which would be cool.

00:05:07.700 You know, I'm not like any designer of coffee warmer pads or, you know, I'm no expert at it or anything.

00:05:13.920 But there's one thing I would have added to it.

00:05:16.600 I would have added to it the ability to warm your coffee.

00:05:20.080 Because apparently it doesn't have that.

00:05:23.200 But boy, does it look like something that would.

00:05:25.460 So that's not nothing.

00:05:29.140 All right.

00:05:29.660 We're going to start with a reframe.

00:05:32.480 I guess I'll have to get a new one.

00:05:35.680 Reframe of the day.

00:05:37.580 Oh, here's a good one.

00:05:38.700 This is what I learned from my first editor when I was picked to be a syndicated cartoonist.

00:05:49.120 There's an editor who has to say, I like you.

00:05:52.360 And then they go forward.

00:05:53.940 But until some editor says, I like you, you get nothing.

00:05:59.360 All right.

00:05:59.720 So when I got first syndicated, before they publish you, what they do, what they do before they publish you is they work with you for six months or so to make sure that you can produce a comic every day before they embarrass themselves by partnering with you and then find out you can't make a comic every day.

00:06:21.120 So you have to prove you can do it.

00:06:24.060 So after about six months of proving I can do it, I would submit my work.

00:06:28.740 But I was still a new cartoonist.

00:06:30.680 So as a new cartoonist, your editor would put a little bit more of a thumb on the scale.

00:06:35.080 Once you become a famous cartoonist, if your editor is any good at all, they say something closer to, you know how to do this better than I do.

00:06:47.640 Right.

00:06:48.080 And then they sort of leave you alone, but rarely now and then there might be something over the line.

00:06:54.220 But basically, once you're published and you show you can do it, the editor who is a good editor, I had a great editor, won't try to put a boot on your work.

00:07:05.420 But they have to say it if they are going to get you to change something.

00:07:11.260 So this is from the earliest days where my editor was welcome to tell me that something worked or didn't work because I, you know, that was useful to me.

00:07:21.240 But how do you tell somebody who's an artist that they worked all day on something and it's bad and it's not worthy of being published?

00:07:29.440 Have you ever thought about how would you word that?

00:07:33.080 Because you don't want to crush somebody's spirit, right?

00:07:36.320 So here's the reframe when you don't want to crush somebody's spirit, but you really have to tell them this wasn't good enough.

00:07:44.660 And it went like this.

00:07:47.300 The usual frame, so this would be the wrong way to do it, the old way to do it, is that you did this wrong or it's not funny.

00:07:56.080 Right.

00:07:56.460 You did it wrong, it's not funny, you did a bad job.

00:08:01.380 That would be the old way.

00:08:03.020 Now listen to this reframe.

00:08:04.720 This was for my first editor.

00:08:07.740 Your other work is stronger.

00:08:11.960 Boom.

00:08:15.520 Now, is that brilliant or not?

00:08:18.540 Your other work is stronger.

00:08:21.200 That's all she had to say.

00:08:22.860 If you tell me my other work is stronger, I'm competing against myself.

00:08:29.240 Against myself and my other work.

00:08:32.020 And I'm not competing with her.

00:08:34.460 So she basically takes it out of, you know, you and I have a disagreement about whether this is good.

00:08:40.200 And she turns it into a disagreement with myself.

00:08:43.380 Your other work is stronger.

00:08:45.440 Damn it.

00:08:46.540 I can make this stronger too.

00:08:48.900 She was a genius.

00:08:49.540 All right.

00:08:52.840 I wonder if there's any...

00:08:54.320 I wonder if there's any science that they didn't need to do because they could have just asked me.

00:09:02.340 Oh, here's some.

00:09:03.560 Oh, by the way, before I forget, Owen Gregorian will have his Spaces event after this is over.

00:09:10.040 All right.

00:09:10.320 So if you want to get a little extra talking about this stuff or maybe some other stuff, some few minutes after we're done today, Owen Gregorian will fire up a Spaces, which is the auto-only feature on X.

00:09:26.680 You can just Google him, Owen Gregorian, and you'll find it easily.

00:09:31.540 Anyway, so there was a test of AI capabilities.

00:09:39.100 So there's a new paper, meaning a scientific paper, where they tried to test AI's ability to do actual online freelance work.

00:09:47.180 Have you ever heard me talk about how capable AI is to do actual, real, useful things?

00:09:56.100 Do you understand that from the very beginning, I've been probably one of the biggest skeptics of AI, being able to actually do something without a human or even helping a human?

00:10:08.060 Because the LLM model, to me, looks like an amazing user interface, and that's about it.

00:10:17.540 I just don't see how it could do real work.

00:10:20.840 That's a longer conversation.

00:10:23.080 The paper was to test exactly that, to see if we're at the point where the AI could replace a person and be like an AI agent, do actual freelance tasks.

00:10:33.520 And so they gave it a bunch of tasks, and they found out that it could do about 3% of the things, but it didn't make anybody faster at anything.

00:10:44.140 Essentially, they found it was worthless.

00:10:47.180 Now, I know what you're going to say.

00:10:50.040 Scott, Scott, Scott.

00:10:52.060 You don't understand how adoption curves work.

00:10:55.980 First, it's useless, useless, useless, useless, followed by useless, useless, useless.

00:11:03.900 But boy, when it kicks in, whoa, whoa.

00:11:07.660 As soon as it kicks in, it's going to go to the next level.

00:11:10.320 What you need is just more training.

00:11:12.980 What you need is a bigger data center.

00:11:15.800 What you need is another trillion dollars.

00:11:18.060 And then, and then we got something.

00:11:20.920 Well, do we?

00:11:23.440 Do we?

00:11:24.020 I'm going to say you could have asked me how that would have gone, and I could have saved you a lot of time and money.

00:11:32.260 Here's a weird thing.

00:11:33.640 Exxon and Chevron are both boosting oil output, or gas, I guess, from the oil.

00:11:40.680 No, oil, what is it?

00:11:42.240 Financial Times is reporting that the two U.S. biggest U.S. oil majors are going to increase production in the third quarter.

00:11:53.040 Now, if you're following the oil business, you know that prices are not as high as they used to be.

00:12:01.400 I mean, anything could be less, but 60 bucks a barrel is generally considered a pretty healthy place to be.

00:12:07.960 It's not super expensive, but it allows all the oil companies enough incentive to do stuff.

00:12:13.060 But how do you explain that there seems to be a worldwide glut or increase in the supply of oil, and it's not much changing the price?

00:12:27.720 What does that mean?

00:12:28.940 It's not because the demand is suddenly matching the supply.

00:12:35.380 There's just more oil than there used to be.

00:12:38.320 Shouldn't the price go down?

00:12:40.360 Is this telling us that there is some kind of monopoly at work, and the oil companies are all in on it, or not monopoly?

00:12:47.220 It'd be, well, if it's just two companies, it'd be monopoly.

00:12:49.840 But is this telling us that there's something going on that makes them immune to price reductions independent of supply?

00:13:01.140 Because wouldn't the very best thing for the oil companies be that as much oil as they pump, they can sell for any price that they want?

00:13:07.940 How in the world does more oil equal no change in price?

00:13:14.560 Because that's what's happening.

00:13:17.320 How does that happen?

00:13:19.240 There's something going on here, right?

00:13:21.460 I don't even know enough to ask the right question, but there's no natural way that a massive increase in oil has no impact on price.

00:13:31.800 Unless something's going on.

00:13:33.980 Anyway, so Elon Musk was doing a lot of publicity, I guess you could say it.

00:13:40.720 He wouldn't call it that.

00:13:42.180 He'd probably call it being on podcasts, including the Joe Rogan show for three hours.

00:13:47.080 And if you think he didn't make any news in three hours on the Joe Rogan show, you'd be wrong.

00:13:53.920 Because he makes news when he's on that show.

00:13:56.640 And I'll just, in no particular order, do you remember my prediction about cell phones?

00:14:03.980 That in the AI world, there would be no apps, and the phone itself would be just a dumb screen.

00:14:12.980 Do you all remember me?

00:14:14.040 I've been saying that for several years, I guess.

00:14:16.720 That the obvious future is that the phone becomes whatever you need it to become at the moment you need it to become it.

00:14:26.280 So you wouldn't even necessarily, I mean, you would have your own device just for convenience, but you wouldn't even need your own device.

00:14:34.400 In theory, I could reach over on the table and pick up your phone, hold it to my face, and it becomes my phone.

00:14:42.560 And it gives me any feature I want without any app being involved at all.

00:14:47.900 It just goes AI the whole way.

00:14:49.960 That is what Elon Musk says is the future.

00:14:52.640 He says, I'm not working on a phone.

00:14:56.740 But the trick is, it wouldn't be called a phone.

00:15:01.840 He doesn't say he's not working on the other thing.

00:15:05.520 The other thing would be, what do you call it?

00:15:08.520 You'll have an AI on the server side communicating with the AI on your device.

00:15:13.660 That's sort of the, you know, technical way of saying that your device is just an AI-driven device.

00:15:21.080 And he says, formally known as a phone.

00:15:24.420 Oh, so he might be working on one of these devices.

00:15:28.300 He didn't say he wasn't.

00:15:30.380 He didn't say he was, but he didn't say he wasn't.

00:15:34.340 He's just saying it wouldn't be a phone.

00:15:37.720 So do I get the credit for the prediction?

00:15:41.820 Probably five years ago I said that.

00:15:44.880 Yeah, it's obvious it's going to go that way.

00:15:47.140 So Elon says there won't be an operating system or apps in the future.

00:15:50.660 It'll just be a device that's where the screen and audio, for the screen and audio,

00:15:54.900 and to put as much AI on the device as possible.

00:15:57.960 That's exactly 100% what I predicted.

00:16:03.600 More news from Elon.

00:16:06.660 You've heard, I think I've told you about,

00:16:08.820 even Jeff Bezos said that space might be an ideal atmosphere for a data center.

00:16:15.780 Well, you could put a data center in space,

00:16:18.640 or apparently you can just send some software up to your vast array of Starlink satellites,

00:16:26.240 and they would form a virtual data center in the sky,

00:16:32.240 and you would get the benefits of being outside the gravity and all that.

00:16:35.800 And Elon could just sort of turn it on.

00:16:41.100 The things that he has considered,

00:16:44.300 and therefore engineered just in case they want to do it later,

00:16:49.040 it's just mind-boggling.

00:16:51.680 How many things he can imagine in the future,

00:16:55.060 so that when he's building something now,

00:16:56.840 he doesn't preclude them.

00:16:58.020 So one of the things he did not preclude was that his satellites could operate

00:17:04.700 as a distributed data center with its own brains

00:17:09.020 and ability to communicate with each other at laser speeds.

00:17:13.460 So I don't know if he'll do that and turn it on,

00:17:15.700 but he does say they can do it.

00:17:18.540 He says they'll have ultra-fast laser links powered by solar energy.

00:17:24.520 And he said, oh, he says SpaceX will be doing this.

00:17:28.980 Oh, I'm sorry.

00:17:30.020 He said, let me update that.

00:17:31.340 He wasn't just talking about it speculatively.

00:17:34.020 He said they will be doing it.

00:17:36.820 How impressive is that?

00:17:38.980 That's just crazy.

00:17:41.500 And it just gets better, too.

00:17:43.840 If this had been a four-hour interview instead of a three-hour conversation,

00:17:48.260 God knows what would have come up.

00:17:49.560 But so Joe, of course, the master of asking good questions

00:17:54.400 that we'd like to hear the answers to,

00:17:56.360 asked him about the, I guess he's working on the new sports car of some kind,

00:18:01.440 and we don't know much about it.

00:18:03.480 But apparently it's going to be really special.

00:18:07.540 I'd wondered about that.

00:18:09.300 Because I thought the news had said that, you know,

00:18:12.960 Elon was going to bring back, what, the Roadster?

00:18:15.760 Is that what it's called?

00:18:16.560 The Roadster?

00:18:17.240 But basically, they were going to build more of a, you know, cool, yeah, the Roadster.

00:18:23.520 They were going to build a cool, sporty Tesla, more sporty than what they have.

00:18:28.820 But nobody knew the details.

00:18:30.620 We still don't know the details, but it's possible, based on what Elon said,

00:18:36.240 it might be a flying car.

00:18:41.420 It might be a flying car.

00:18:43.420 But you know what it might also be?

00:18:44.800 It might also be a submersible.

00:18:49.320 It might be both.

00:18:51.140 But what he says is, look, I think it has, this is Elon, look, I think it has a shot

00:18:55.900 of being the most memorable product unveil ever.

00:18:59.560 He goes, let's just put it this way.

00:19:01.540 If you took all the James Bond cars and combined them, it's crazier than that.

00:19:07.060 Okay, the James Bond cars, didn't they fly and also act as submarines?

00:19:13.660 Is that where people are getting the idea it might be both or one of those things?

00:19:17.980 Now, I'm not sure I care one way or the other.

00:19:21.820 I probably won't be buying a submersible car from anybody.

00:19:25.180 But I just love the fact that he doesn't have a marketing or advertising budget.

00:19:31.860 Elon doesn't.

00:19:33.260 But boy, does he do good marketing.

00:19:35.480 Oh, my God.

00:19:36.960 The quality of his marketing game is so beyond really anything we've ever seen.

00:19:44.400 Just anything.

00:19:45.820 This is the next level above the next level.

00:19:49.840 He's got me so excited about this car that doesn't yet exist.

00:19:54.020 Anyway, we'll see what it has.

00:19:55.400 Maybe some guns.

00:19:57.320 I hope it can shoot gas and protect you too.

00:20:01.540 I wonder if he made any other news.

00:20:04.580 Oh, yeah.

00:20:07.640 If this was the only thing that happened, it would still be the biggest news.

00:20:11.920 But it's just one of many things he did during three hours.

00:20:17.200 So Joe asked Elon about these accusations that the whistleblower,

00:20:24.460 there was a chat GPT whistleblower.

00:20:27.880 And some say, and that the some would include the parents of the whistleblower,

00:20:32.760 that he was murdered and did not commit suicide.

00:20:36.280 Soon after he had said he was a whistleblower and chat GPT was going to be in a lot of trouble.

00:20:44.040 Some of the things that Elon mentioned, and I'm not going to say these are true,

00:20:48.600 because I don't want to get sued by anybody.

00:20:51.240 But the conversation suggested that the following things were true.

00:20:56.920 That there was blood in more than one room.

00:20:59.020 The deceased had just ordered DoorDash.

00:21:05.280 I wonder if in the history of the world, anybody's ordered DoorDash

00:21:09.760 and then decided to kill themselves before the meal.

00:21:14.200 Does anybody understand what a last meal is all about?

00:21:17.560 Or did he just say, you know, I'm not really hungry after all.

00:21:21.140 I'll just kill myself in two separate rooms and put this weird wig in another room.

00:21:26.600 There was some wig that didn't belong to him.

00:21:28.240 So blood in two rooms, wig.

00:21:32.840 We'll see what else.

00:21:36.460 So this is what Elon said about Altman.

00:21:41.160 Now, I will tell you that personally, I think there's close to zero chance

00:21:47.860 that Sam Altman authorized or knew there would be a hit.

00:21:53.360 All right, can I say that as clearly as possible?

00:21:55.320 The thought that specifically Sam Altman, you know, him specifically,

00:22:01.380 ordered it or knew that it would happen or had some insight into it,

00:22:05.500 I think that's close to zero.

00:22:07.120 But if you're asking me, was he murdered?

00:22:12.900 Well, keep in mind that rumor-wise, the CIA has a very important, you know,

00:22:20.000 mandate to have control over all the big AI companies.

00:22:24.900 Do you think that the CIA is exerting control over the big companies?

00:22:29.580 Yes.

00:22:31.240 You know, that's what we're being told by people who definitely know.

00:22:34.780 And would it be their job to do it?

00:22:38.240 Yes.

00:22:39.380 You know, I hate to say it.

00:22:40.960 I mean, the CIA is supposed to do all the dirty stuff that you wish people wouldn't do.

00:22:46.040 Well, sometimes.

00:22:46.880 Sometimes you need the dirty stuff.

00:22:49.940 Now, imagine you're the CIA and you know that OpenAI and ChatGPT would be the primary way

00:22:56.700 that in the future you'll be able to control other countries and, you know,

00:23:02.600 find terrorists, find all the bad people.

00:23:06.240 Well, if you thought that ChatGPT was not just one of the important things you were doing,

00:23:12.740 but maybe the most important thing you're doing for years,

00:23:17.540 would you be willing to murder to keep that structure intact?

00:23:22.920 Meaning that there's a ChatGPT, it leads the field, you've got the back door,

00:23:28.100 you have all the access you need, public doesn't know the details,

00:23:31.960 but they're okay with it because, you know, they like to be safe too.

00:23:34.980 Would that be enough reason to murder an American citizen?

00:23:42.200 Maybe.

00:23:44.260 Maybe.

00:23:45.400 I mean, I don't think they're authorized to kill American citizens on American soil, are they?

00:23:50.740 But they are authorized to do things that people aren't supposed to do,

00:23:56.500 and who knows how far that could go.

00:24:00.040 So I don't think, and then you have to add the,

00:24:04.980 then you have to add the rogues to the equation.

00:24:09.660 What if it wasn't the CIA,

00:24:12.360 and it wasn't anybody on the board or management of ChatGPT?

00:24:16.840 Is there anyone else who would have a financial incentive or other incentive to murder a guy?

00:24:23.400 Yes, the investors.

00:24:28.120 If you had invested, you know, billions of dollars in this thing,

00:24:32.280 and you knew that your billions could turn into a trillion,

00:24:35.460 and you knew that there was one whistleblower in the way,

00:24:38.660 and the reason that you had billions of dollars in the first place is that you're an unethical bastard,

00:24:43.320 and you could just whisper to some special services ex-CIA guy that you know,

00:24:51.160 you know, if that guy disappeared,

00:24:54.920 somebody like you who might have been involved in it would have a pretty, pretty big payday.

00:25:00.760 So if I had to guess, it does look a little bit more like murder than suicide,

00:25:07.780 but these things can look like something else and not be that thing.

00:25:13.120 So the fact that it does look sort of exactly like a murder doesn't mean it is,

00:25:19.180 because in our world things look like things that aren't really the thing.

00:25:23.440 But I don't think it was Altman.

00:25:25.060 I don't think it was ChatGPT's management.

00:25:26.860 It probably wasn't the CIA.

00:25:30.760 But I don't know about all the investors.

00:25:36.900 Anyway, I guess on CNN, a political commentator named Brad Todd

00:25:43.360 mentioned that the 2020 census was rigged,

00:25:48.500 and the CNN host challenged that.

00:25:52.600 Wouldn't you?

00:25:53.940 What do you use rigged?

00:25:56.160 The census?

00:25:58.080 The census was rigged?

00:26:00.140 Seriously?

00:26:01.720 How do you rig a census?

00:26:04.340 Easily, it turns out.

00:26:06.120 As Todd, Brad Todd explained, he said, quote,

00:26:09.520 we do know that.

00:26:11.020 The Census Bureau's own audit showed that they had,

00:26:16.120 that all of their errors were in one direction,

00:26:18.480 to the detriment of red states.

00:26:20.580 So apparently the Census Bureau has admitted

00:26:22.540 that coincidentally,

00:26:24.800 all of their errors

00:26:26.240 are in one direction.

00:26:27.940 So yes, we actually know that the 2020 census was rigged.

00:26:32.200 How many of you knew that?

00:26:35.340 I feel like I vaguely had heard that or something.

00:26:38.460 But did you know it was official?

00:26:41.100 It's official.

00:26:41.920 The census people said it themselves.

00:26:44.440 Yep, all our mistakes were in one direction.

00:26:47.920 Okay.

00:26:48.280 Meanwhile, over on MSNBC,

00:26:52.440 if you haven't seen this clip,

00:26:54.060 it's well worth watching.

00:26:55.940 So there's this Democrat representative,

00:26:57.940 Seth Moulton,

00:26:58.760 who's seemingly not a good person,

00:27:01.420 based on this story I'm going to tell you.

00:27:03.900 He made an accusation about Trump

00:27:06.560 on MSNBC's Morning Joe

00:27:09.180 that is so inappropriate

00:27:12.360 that I'm not even going to tell you what it was.

00:27:15.760 So let's just say it was Epstein-related,

00:27:18.560 but it was bullshit.

00:27:19.960 He just made it up.

00:27:21.580 Just made it up.

00:27:23.040 And when he put it out there and said,

00:27:24.840 you know, it's sort of a fact,

00:27:26.900 even Morning Joe said,

00:27:28.880 there's no evidence of that.

00:27:30.580 And he said, oh, yes, there's,

00:27:33.700 I mean, it's obvious.

00:27:35.380 And Morning Joe,

00:27:36.360 seeing his entire life on the line,

00:27:39.980 can you imagine if Morning Joe

00:27:42.520 had not vigorously challenged the claim

00:27:46.300 that was being claimed by,

00:27:48.040 you know, a government official,

00:27:50.000 an elected official,

00:27:51.640 completely making up some shit?

00:27:54.500 That's the worst thing

00:27:55.540 you've ever heard in your life, right?

00:27:57.380 Just the worst.

00:27:58.180 And Morning Joe,

00:28:00.680 knowing that he would get his ass so sued

00:28:03.860 if he just let that go without a challenge.

00:28:07.460 And so, to his credit,

00:28:09.680 but also to save his own neck,

00:28:12.340 Morning Joe pushed back hard.

00:28:14.700 He pushed back hard.

00:28:16.060 No evidence of that.

00:28:17.980 And again, I say, no evidence of that.

00:28:20.200 And by the way,

00:28:20.920 now that you're done talking,

00:28:22.280 can I remind the audience,

00:28:23.920 there's no evidence of that.

00:28:25.220 So, I'm going to give Morning Joe

00:28:28.960 a hundred percent A plus

00:28:32.200 for fact-checking that in real time.

00:28:34.880 But of course, he was covering his own ass

00:28:37.000 because the Trump world lawsuits are flying

00:28:40.680 and he doesn't need that kind of trouble.

00:28:43.760 So, I appreciate it.

00:28:44.900 I appreciate that he pushed back on that.

00:28:46.620 So, Seth Moulton,

00:28:48.040 in case you want to know,

00:28:49.660 total piece of shit.

00:28:51.120 Terrible person.

00:28:51.860 I mean, really a bad person.

00:28:55.660 Well, I guess the end of the year,

00:28:57.380 the Obamacare premiums are going to double.

00:29:03.280 And one of the things that might happen

00:29:05.300 is that Trump might have some success.

00:29:10.320 I don't know if he will.

00:29:11.440 But now he's pushing for what's called

00:29:13.060 the nuclear option,

00:29:14.120 which has nothing to do with nuclear in any way.

00:29:16.540 It's just the name of a thing.

00:29:17.860 And the thing is that if Congress votes

00:29:22.120 by some majority, I guess,

00:29:24.140 they can get rid of the filibuster.

00:29:26.600 Now, the filibuster was invented.

00:29:29.480 So, if the minority side fell so strongly about a topic,

00:29:33.500 they could say,

00:29:34.340 we're just going to talk forever

00:29:35.520 and the process will never go forward

00:29:38.440 because we're still in the act of talking.

00:29:42.020 And that would be the filibuster.

00:29:43.700 And they would just have people go up there

00:29:45.080 and read the phone book and take turns

00:29:47.320 and just use up the time.

00:29:49.520 But in the modern world,

00:29:51.660 and I checked,

00:29:53.200 a filibuster is a memo.

00:29:56.020 So, the minority team just sends a memo.

00:29:59.240 You know, if we wanted to,

00:30:01.380 we would filibuster this.

00:30:03.620 So, you know,

00:30:05.240 let's just treat it like a filibuster.

00:30:07.620 Because if you make us do it, we'll do it.

00:30:09.980 But no need to.

00:30:11.320 So, just accept this memo as our warning

00:30:14.920 that the only way you're going to get anything passed

00:30:17.620 in this domain is 60 votes

00:30:19.480 instead of a bare majority, 51%.

00:30:22.880 So, they would have to first change the rules

00:30:28.280 that you can do a filibuster.

00:30:31.300 And then if the filibuster went away,

00:30:33.700 the second thing they could do

00:30:34.960 is vote to fund the government with a bare majority.

00:30:39.440 Now, of course, the risk is insane.

00:30:43.660 The size of the risk is just insane

00:30:45.900 because it works both ways.

00:30:48.400 If the Democrats get in control,

00:30:50.900 the Republicans will no longer have,

00:30:53.500 you know, the comfort of the filibuster themselves

00:30:56.760 to protect against the things

00:30:59.000 they care about the most.

00:31:01.480 But the argument on the other side

00:31:03.600 is that the Democrats are going to do

00:31:05.340 absolutely anything that they can do,

00:31:07.280 including the Russia collusion hoax,

00:31:10.740 the 51 people who said

00:31:13.740 that the Hunter laptop was not real.

00:31:17.260 You can go down the line.

00:31:18.340 I don't have to list everything.

00:31:19.900 But the counter argument is

00:31:21.680 that the Republicans have every reason

00:31:24.300 strategically and ethically

00:31:26.580 to do just everything.

00:31:28.420 Just do everything.

00:31:29.560 If you can get more power,

00:31:31.560 get something done, just do it.

00:31:32.860 Because the Democrats would do it.

00:31:35.560 Is that a good argument?

00:31:37.900 It might be.

00:31:39.660 It didn't used to be a good argument

00:31:41.400 because there was a world

00:31:43.060 in which there would be

00:31:43.880 a little bit more cooperation

00:31:45.240 and a little bit observance of history.

00:31:49.240 But we may be out of that world permanently.

00:31:52.380 And if you're out of that world permanently,

00:31:54.320 the smartest thing you can do

00:31:56.000 is recognize that as soon as possible

00:31:57.900 and then start consolidating your power

00:32:00.960 because the alternative is

00:32:02.700 the other side consolidates their power.

00:32:05.180 You know, their authoritarianism

00:32:07.020 versus your authoritarianism.

00:32:08.900 You prefer yours.

00:32:10.580 If it's only going to go one of two ways,

00:32:13.460 one side will be an authoritarian

00:32:14.940 or the other one.

00:32:17.740 So I don't yet have an opinion

00:32:20.540 about whether this should be nuked,

00:32:22.820 the thing that would give them

00:32:26.380 the ability to change it.

00:32:27.900 It could be just a negotiating thing.

00:32:31.200 Could be.

00:32:33.020 So I think I'm going to wait on that one.

00:32:35.660 No opinion on that yet.

00:32:39.240 All right.

00:32:41.720 Would you be amazed to learn

00:32:43.600 that a judge

00:32:46.080 is stopping something that Trump wanted?

00:32:50.160 Yes, believe it or not.

00:32:52.320 There's a judge.

00:32:53.120 Once again,

00:32:57.800 a federal judge has blocked,

00:33:01.700 this is according to Axios,

00:33:03.320 so Judge Colleen Caller-Catelli,

00:33:07.000 so she's got an injunction

00:33:08.600 against Trump's order

00:33:12.840 that the states do check IDs for voting.

00:33:17.580 So apparently this judge says

00:33:21.360 that you cannot force the states

00:33:24.320 to force the voters to show ID.

00:33:29.580 And the reason is not that it's a good idea

00:33:31.800 or a bad idea.

00:33:32.720 So it has nothing to do

00:33:33.660 with the quality of the idea

00:33:35.060 and nothing to do with whether it would work

00:33:37.420 and nothing to do with what,

00:33:38.880 you know,

00:33:39.160 what is ethical

00:33:39.780 or what we should do.

00:33:40.980 It's none of that.

00:33:41.940 It's just a straight-up court ruling

00:33:44.940 of what power the executive has

00:33:47.760 versus the states.

00:33:49.480 And so her ruling is,

00:33:51.140 you've got no power

00:33:51.960 on the states running elections.

00:33:54.440 Get out of here.

00:33:55.820 So specifically,

00:33:56.800 the problem is that

00:33:57.600 he doesn't have authority

00:33:58.600 to do this rule.

00:34:00.480 So I asked Grock,

00:34:02.680 Grock,

00:34:03.200 if you were on the Supreme Court,

00:34:04.820 do you think you would uphold the judge

00:34:09.040 and say that Trump

00:34:10.720 does not have the authority

00:34:11.840 to require ID for voting?

00:34:14.680 Or would you uphold Trump

00:34:16.760 and say he's got an argument,

00:34:18.800 assuming that they had some argument?

00:34:20.960 And Grock said,

00:34:22.080 no, it's basically a simple one.

00:34:24.200 He doesn't have that authority.

00:34:26.780 The only way he could have that authority

00:34:28.900 is if Congress passed a law,

00:34:32.320 such as a voting rights law

00:34:33.940 or some equal rights law.

00:34:37.900 So if Congress passes a law,

00:34:40.520 then how would they do that

00:34:41.820 unless they nuke the filibuster?

00:34:48.300 Ooh, what if the filibuster got nuked?

00:34:52.960 Then the Supreme Court

00:34:54.260 doesn't even have to get involved

00:34:55.560 because he can just use Congress,

00:35:00.040 get his bare majority people

00:35:01.780 to say nucleus filibuster,

00:35:04.180 and then the next thing you do,

00:35:05.420 they say one of our most important things

00:35:08.280 is that we have ID for voting.

00:35:10.640 Boom.

00:35:12.280 Boom.

00:35:13.500 So these might be the same issue

00:35:15.020 once you get rid of the filibuster.

00:35:20.620 Likewise,

00:35:21.460 there's a big decision coming up

00:35:23.140 and the courts,

00:35:25.100 the Supreme Court in this case,

00:35:26.680 will be listening next week

00:35:28.200 to arguments about whether Trump

00:35:30.480 can impose tariffs.

00:35:33.600 Did you know that that was even a legal question,

00:35:36.640 whether the president even has the authority

00:35:38.660 to put tariffs on stuff?

00:35:40.860 I kind of thought we sort of had agreed

00:35:44.740 that that was okay,

00:35:46.760 that at least they had the authority,

00:35:48.480 whether you liked it or not.

00:35:50.160 But the Trump argument is,

00:35:54.960 a quote,

00:35:55.680 that denial of tariff authority

00:35:57.280 would expose our nation

00:35:58.560 to trade retaliation

00:36:00.040 without effective defenses.

00:36:02.540 That is correct.

00:36:04.280 May I add something

00:36:05.540 to the Supreme Court argument?

00:36:07.060 because I'm pretty sure

00:36:08.580 that all the lawyers

00:36:10.340 who argue in the Supreme Court

00:36:11.700 watch this podcast

00:36:13.020 or should.

00:36:15.820 If you were a lawyer

00:36:17.040 who argued things

00:36:18.820 in the higher courts,

00:36:20.500 you don't think you'd want

00:36:21.780 to watch my show?

00:36:23.480 I literally teach people

00:36:24.860 how to persuade.

00:36:26.420 Of course.

00:36:27.600 I mean, not all of them.

00:36:28.840 I'm joking.

00:36:29.780 They're not all watching the show.

00:36:31.160 But you'd be surprised

00:36:32.200 how many lawyers

00:36:33.220 whose job it is to persuade

00:36:35.700 contact me

00:36:37.280 and tell me

00:36:37.980 how useful it's been.

00:36:39.040 They either read my book,

00:36:40.840 Win Bigly,

00:36:42.100 or they watched the podcast.

00:36:44.280 So is it crazy to assume

00:36:46.220 that I could say something

00:36:48.560 on my podcast

00:36:49.440 that would be useful to this?

00:36:51.780 It's not crazy

00:36:52.800 because I'm going to do it right now.

00:36:55.120 You ready for this?

00:36:56.340 Reframe coming in.

00:36:58.160 And it's a reframe

00:36:59.220 you've heard before.

00:37:00.120 I'm just going to repurpose it.

00:37:01.420 The country

00:37:03.920 with the strongest economy

00:37:05.080 wins the war.

00:37:07.280 You can't separate economics

00:37:09.280 from national defense.

00:37:12.180 Your economy

00:37:13.040 is your national defense.

00:37:15.080 And that's what

00:37:15.960 Trump's Justice Department

00:37:18.540 is saying,

00:37:19.280 but they're not quite

00:37:20.100 getting the wording right.

00:37:21.600 So what I'm going to try

00:37:22.560 to help them with,

00:37:23.660 get the wording right.

00:37:25.080 Because you can quite easily

00:37:26.780 convince people,

00:37:28.000 smart people,

00:37:28.700 that the strength

00:37:31.520 of the economy

00:37:32.360 is just one more weapon

00:37:34.320 that national defense

00:37:36.000 can take advantage of.

00:37:37.680 And the tariffs

00:37:38.460 are really a big part

00:37:40.420 of what you can manipulate

00:37:42.320 in your economy

00:37:43.220 for national defense.

00:37:45.580 So they do say,

00:37:46.840 obviously they know,

00:37:48.360 because they say it directly,

00:37:49.500 quote,

00:37:49.800 denial of tariff authority

00:37:51.160 would expose our nation

00:37:52.780 to trade retaliation

00:37:53.980 with ineffective defenses.

00:37:55.720 But let's say that

00:37:56.620 without the nerdy stuff.

00:37:59.760 Take the nerdy legal stuff out.

00:38:03.280 The country with the strongest economy

00:38:05.500 is the safest defense-wise.

00:38:11.500 Once you get the justices

00:38:13.840 to agree with that general statement

00:38:16.220 that you can't separate economics

00:38:18.520 from defense,

00:38:19.860 it's pretty hard to take

00:38:21.660 the economics away

00:38:22.660 from the president,

00:38:24.080 chief of staff,

00:38:25.040 the chief of the army.

00:38:27.380 I feel like that's enough.

00:38:30.100 I mean, obviously,

00:38:30.860 I'm no expert

00:38:31.400 on the Supreme Court

00:38:32.320 or lawyering.

00:38:33.680 But am I wrong?

00:38:36.000 Give me a quick reaction.

00:38:38.120 If you can sell the fact,

00:38:39.900 which is easy to sell,

00:38:42.380 that the economics

00:38:43.340 and the national defense

00:38:45.120 are,

00:38:45.760 you can't separate them.

00:38:46.920 They're inseparable.

00:38:48.660 Once you've made that claim

00:38:51.300 and the justices

00:38:52.700 have sort of

00:38:53.660 maybe mentally accepted

00:38:55.000 that that's a baseline fact,

00:38:57.200 whatever you argue

00:38:58.260 on top of that

00:38:58.940 gets a lot easier

00:38:59.760 because it's all baseline.

00:39:02.000 And that,

00:39:02.920 ladies and gentlemen,

00:39:04.460 is how I saved the country.

00:39:07.920 I love listening

00:39:08.960 to John Solomon

00:39:11.460 talking about

00:39:12.160 the RICO conspiracy,

00:39:14.480 potentially.

00:39:15.600 Now,

00:39:16.120 nobody's been charged

00:39:17.620 with this in this context,

00:39:18.860 but it's possible.

00:39:20.020 He says that

00:39:20.860 all the bad behavior,

00:39:24.140 let's say,

00:39:24.660 from Obama on

00:39:25.860 that were aimed

00:39:27.460 against Trump

00:39:28.120 and Trump world

00:39:28.860 goes back to 2014

00:39:30.540 and that you could

00:39:32.720 trace the line

00:39:34.300 through the same

00:39:35.840 bunch of cats

00:39:36.720 all the way to 2014.

00:39:39.420 You can see the documentation

00:39:41.220 so you know

00:39:42.100 what bad behavior they did.

00:39:43.700 You know that they tried

00:39:44.600 to do sketchy things

00:39:46.000 to change the government,

00:39:48.140 essentially an insurrection.

00:39:50.220 And if it does go

00:39:51.860 all the way back,

00:39:53.920 then it does look

00:39:54.980 like a RICO.

00:39:56.600 RICO being the,

00:39:58.380 originally it was a mafia,

00:39:59.920 attack law,

00:40:01.420 so you could go after them

00:40:02.380 for a whole bunch

00:40:03.880 of organized,

00:40:05.000 coordinated behavior

00:40:05.940 that's criminal.

00:40:07.300 So if they can show

00:40:08.460 that this is criminal behavior,

00:40:10.580 and maybe that's the obstacle,

00:40:12.420 versus just political,

00:40:14.940 it's all connected.

00:40:17.260 So if it's criminal

00:40:18.560 and it's the same people

00:40:20.840 and it's all documented

00:40:23.200 that they were coordinating it

00:40:24.840 for a specific purpose

00:40:26.680 that was illegal,

00:40:28.600 it looks like RICO to me,

00:40:32.360 but I wouldn't bet on it.

00:40:34.760 I feel like,

00:40:36.320 I feel like I'm just,

00:40:38.060 just on the border

00:40:40.280 of saying,

00:40:40.940 yeah,

00:40:41.140 this is a slam dunk

00:40:42.400 RICO situation,

00:40:43.640 there's no way

00:40:44.100 they lose it.

00:40:44.980 I don't think

00:40:46.060 it's slam dunk.

00:40:48.340 I think it's real,

00:40:49.520 and I think that

00:40:50.980 John Solomon's

00:40:51.960 take on it

00:40:53.180 is completely reasonable.

00:40:55.380 But whether that

00:40:56.320 translates into,

00:40:57.560 you know,

00:40:57.800 actual people

00:40:58.420 going to jail,

00:41:00.040 I don't know.

00:41:01.640 All right,

00:41:02.080 let's have some fun.

00:41:03.640 You like some

00:41:04.320 controversy?

00:41:07.460 So in the

00:41:08.140 Wall Street Journal,

00:41:09.220 there's an editorial

00:41:10.180 by somebody named

00:41:11.200 Dominic Green,

00:41:12.860 and he's talking about

00:41:13.820 the MAGA rights

00:41:14.900 anti-Semitism problem.

00:41:16.520 You ready for this?

00:41:20.440 So,

00:41:21.100 if you've been

00:41:21.840 watching the news,

00:41:22.680 you know that

00:41:23.200 there's sort of

00:41:25.420 a controversy,

00:41:26.800 or somebody's

00:41:27.520 trying to make it

00:41:28.460 into one.

00:41:29.540 It's sort of a

00:41:30.400 wannabe controversy,

00:41:33.200 meaning that people

00:41:34.040 keep talking about it

00:41:35.300 like they want

00:41:36.460 to make it something,

00:41:38.000 but it's not,

00:41:38.640 it's not,

00:41:39.400 it's not,

00:41:40.340 it's not performing.

00:41:42.520 It's not doing

00:41:44.920 what they hope

00:41:45.440 it will do,

00:41:45.920 which would drive

00:41:46.540 MAGA apart.

00:41:47.740 Now,

00:41:48.160 I think what has

00:41:48.900 been underestimated

00:41:50.180 by the left

00:41:51.560 is that the

00:41:53.080 so-called

00:41:53.720 woke right

00:41:54.700 and the MAGA right

00:41:55.680 and the Republicans

00:41:56.460 and the conservatives

00:41:57.420 are much better

00:41:59.240 at having a

00:42:00.680 lively disagreement

00:42:01.680 and then just

00:42:03.620 voting in the

00:42:04.800 right way

00:42:05.340 when the election

00:42:06.460 comes.

00:42:07.300 So I'm not sure

00:42:08.420 that this could

00:42:09.020 ever work,

00:42:10.360 because the nature

00:42:11.340 of how the

00:42:12.840 conservative,

00:42:13.620 let's say the

00:42:14.000 right side of

00:42:14.480 the world,

00:42:15.060 that the nature

00:42:15.960 of how we work,

00:42:17.220 because I'm going

00:42:17.640 to put myself

00:42:18.240 in the we

00:42:18.740 for this conversation,

00:42:21.200 is it's just

00:42:22.720 a whole bunch

00:42:23.240 of people

00:42:23.580 who understand

00:42:24.200 free speech.

00:42:26.300 If you could say

00:42:27.460 there's one thing

00:42:28.280 that binds us

00:42:29.000 together on the

00:42:30.540 right,

00:42:31.100 it's free speech.

00:42:32.420 So you can't be

00:42:33.540 that free speech

00:42:34.700 and then also

00:42:36.120 buy into there's

00:42:36.980 some kind of

00:42:37.640 thing,

00:42:39.000 you know,

00:42:39.280 driving the party

00:42:40.240 apart.

00:42:42.300 It sort of

00:42:42.880 just doesn't

00:42:43.400 work.

00:42:44.000 But they're

00:42:44.380 trying,

00:42:45.120 because it

00:42:45.580 would work

00:42:46.100 on the left.

00:42:47.200 So I think

00:42:47.780 the left is

00:42:48.420 using an

00:42:48.900 approach that

00:42:50.480 they're sure

00:42:51.100 would work

00:42:51.640 on the left,

00:42:52.280 which is

00:42:52.640 dividing people

00:42:53.540 by type,

00:42:54.900 because that

00:42:55.580 works on their

00:42:56.160 side.

00:42:57.320 But on the

00:42:57.820 right,

00:42:58.280 you can tell

00:42:58.840 me you

00:43:00.120 shouldn't

00:43:00.500 platform the

00:43:01.240 worst person

00:43:01.840 in the world.

00:43:02.720 And I'll say,

00:43:03.920 why do you

00:43:04.380 hate free speech?

00:43:06.500 Right?

00:43:07.900 You can talk

00:43:08.760 about platforming

00:43:09.800 all day long

00:43:10.900 and I'm just

00:43:11.400 going to turn

00:43:11.800 it into

00:43:12.060 free speech.

00:43:13.420 It's free speech.

00:43:15.360 Why don't you

00:43:16.040 want to hear

00:43:16.380 what the other

00:43:16.800 side has to

00:43:17.360 say?

00:43:18.360 Why wouldn't

00:43:19.000 you hear

00:43:19.360 what somebody

00:43:20.800 who disagrees

00:43:21.440 with you

00:43:21.920 and you

00:43:22.300 hate them

00:43:22.880 and you

00:43:23.280 wish they

00:43:23.600 would go

00:43:23.900 away?

00:43:24.180 Why wouldn't

00:43:24.720 you know

00:43:25.040 what they

00:43:25.280 have to say?

00:43:26.700 Wouldn't

00:43:26.980 you be

00:43:27.280 better off

00:43:27.760 if you

00:43:28.000 knew?

00:43:28.840 Wouldn't

00:43:29.120 you be

00:43:29.320 better off

00:43:29.740 if they

00:43:30.020 were exposed

00:43:30.460 to you?

00:43:31.940 Here's an

00:43:32.620 argument I

00:43:33.040 haven't used

00:43:33.420 for a while,

00:43:34.180 but I like to

00:43:34.780 try it out.

00:43:35.340 if hypothetically

00:43:37.320 I had the

00:43:39.000 worst person

00:43:39.760 in the world

00:43:40.240 on my podcast

00:43:41.380 and I

00:43:41.800 interviewed them

00:43:42.420 for an hour,

00:43:43.360 what is the

00:43:44.220 most likely

00:43:44.880 outcome of

00:43:45.560 that?

00:43:46.380 That they

00:43:47.000 would turn

00:43:47.420 me into

00:43:47.880 a slightly

00:43:48.300 worse person?

00:43:50.720 Is that

00:43:51.320 what would

00:43:51.620 happen?

00:43:52.180 Would they

00:43:52.540 turn you

00:43:53.020 into a

00:43:53.440 slightly

00:43:53.700 worse person?

00:43:55.340 Or,

00:43:56.340 having watched

00:43:57.240 me for 10

00:43:57.900 years,

00:43:58.240 as some of

00:43:58.660 you are,

00:43:59.340 is it more

00:43:59.840 likely that I

00:44:00.620 would persuade

00:44:01.220 them to be

00:44:01.740 a better

00:44:02.020 person?

00:44:02.380 and that

00:44:04.060 if I'm

00:44:05.260 half of

00:44:05.700 the podcast,

00:44:07.340 the people

00:44:07.740 watching would

00:44:08.340 say,

00:44:08.760 okay,

00:44:09.360 I like what

00:44:10.020 the cartoonist

00:44:10.640 said.

00:44:12.300 Who is

00:44:13.040 likely to

00:44:13.700 persuade their

00:44:14.360 audience in

00:44:15.780 a positive

00:44:16.380 direction more

00:44:17.560 likely than

00:44:18.200 me,

00:44:19.180 even if I'm

00:44:19.820 talking to

00:44:20.260 the worst

00:44:20.560 person in

00:44:21.020 the world?

00:44:22.320 So,

00:44:22.840 there's a

00:44:23.120 little bit of

00:44:23.480 nuance on

00:44:24.000 this stuff,

00:44:24.460 right?

00:44:24.880 So,

00:44:25.340 the people

00:44:25.820 on the

00:44:26.060 right understand

00:44:26.760 that I

00:44:27.160 could bring

00:44:27.580 value to

00:44:29.300 a conversation

00:44:30.800 with somebody

00:44:32.180 who shouldn't

00:44:32.560 be platformed

00:44:33.280 at all,

00:44:34.080 according to

00:44:34.540 the left.

00:44:35.580 But the

00:44:36.060 right understands

00:44:36.720 that.

00:44:37.540 We can fight

00:44:38.360 all day,

00:44:39.740 but as long

00:44:40.180 as we agree

00:44:40.700 on free

00:44:41.140 speech,

00:44:42.180 boom,

00:44:42.940 President

00:44:43.320 Trump,

00:44:44.320 and it

00:44:44.560 works out

00:44:44.940 for us.

00:44:46.020 But,

00:44:46.500 back to

00:44:46.940 this.

00:44:47.480 So,

00:44:47.740 Dominic

00:44:48.140 Green,

00:44:49.600 he looks

00:44:49.980 like he

00:44:50.320 would be

00:44:50.720 happy if

00:44:51.700 MAGA was

00:44:52.660 more unhappy

00:44:53.900 with each

00:44:54.400 other.

00:44:54.780 So,

00:44:54.940 he talked

00:44:55.220 about Tucker

00:44:56.620 Carlson,

00:44:57.160 this is

00:44:57.460 Wall Street

00:44:57.880 Journal

00:44:58.180 editorial.

00:44:58.640 Actually,

00:45:02.280 this is a

00:45:02.640 perfect

00:45:02.880 example.

00:45:03.840 The Wall

00:45:04.120 Street Journal

00:45:04.620 sort of

00:45:05.120 leans right

00:45:05.920 a little

00:45:06.200 bit,

00:45:06.660 right?

00:45:07.580 But they

00:45:08.000 platformed

00:45:08.680 this guy.

00:45:10.500 They

00:45:10.980 platformed

00:45:11.580 him,

00:45:12.060 and I

00:45:12.700 don't think

00:45:13.100 necessarily

00:45:13.640 the editorial

00:45:14.240 people agree

00:45:14.900 with everything

00:45:15.440 he says,

00:45:16.240 but they

00:45:16.680 platformed

00:45:17.220 him.

00:45:17.580 That's how

00:45:17.880 it works

00:45:18.140 on the

00:45:18.380 right.

00:45:19.160 CNN's

00:45:19.600 doing a

00:45:19.880 good job

00:45:20.200 of platforming

00:45:20.880 people they

00:45:21.360 disagree with

00:45:22.020 too.

00:45:22.760 So,

00:45:22.980 there's a

00:45:23.500 little bit

00:45:23.760 on both

00:45:24.080 sides.

00:45:25.220 Anyway,

00:45:25.820 here's what

00:45:26.600 he says,

00:45:27.280 Dominic

00:45:27.640 Green,

00:45:28.000 that Carlson's

00:45:30.820 hosting of

00:45:31.600 Nick Fuentes,

00:45:32.640 of course,

00:45:33.140 you knew I was

00:45:33.560 going to go

00:45:33.880 there,

00:45:34.640 on his

00:45:35.080 podcast,

00:45:36.020 was a

00:45:36.760 watershed in

00:45:37.460 the campaign

00:45:38.020 to make

00:45:38.420 racism cool

00:45:39.400 again.

00:45:40.820 All right,

00:45:41.180 well,

00:45:41.360 he's going

00:45:41.680 to have to

00:45:42.000 defend that,

00:45:42.880 right?

00:45:43.920 So,

00:45:44.200 the claim

00:45:44.620 is that

00:45:44.980 having Nick

00:45:45.680 on is

00:45:46.980 making racism

00:45:47.980 cool again,

00:45:49.420 whereas people

00:45:50.900 on the right

00:45:51.360 might say,

00:45:52.200 you mean

00:45:52.540 free speech,

00:45:53.980 where we

00:45:54.360 listen to him

00:45:55.000 and we

00:45:55.300 disagree with

00:45:55.900 him?

00:45:56.560 Is that

00:45:57.040 your problem?

00:45:59.000 That's the

00:45:59.640 problem?

00:46:00.620 Now,

00:46:01.100 Nick is a

00:46:02.140 special case

00:46:02.820 because he's

00:46:03.660 extra good

00:46:05.320 at media

00:46:05.800 stuff,

00:46:06.680 so he would

00:46:07.260 be persuasive

00:46:08.060 and is.

00:46:10.240 So,

00:46:10.620 he's a little

00:46:11.120 more dangerous

00:46:11.840 if you're

00:46:12.380 worried about

00:46:12.800 that point

00:46:13.900 of view

00:46:14.320 becoming

00:46:15.740 dominant,

00:46:16.660 and that

00:46:17.040 would be a

00:46:17.400 reasonable

00:46:17.640 thing to

00:46:18.020 worry about.

00:46:20.180 But,

00:46:20.820 here's how

00:46:22.680 he characterizes,

00:46:23.820 this is how

00:46:24.360 Dominic Green

00:46:25.080 characterizes

00:46:26.600 Tucker.

00:46:28.160 See if you

00:46:28.700 think he's

00:46:29.200 characterized

00:46:29.740 Tucker

00:46:30.480 correctly in

00:46:31.420 his opinion.

00:46:33.360 He said

00:46:34.160 that Carlson

00:46:35.940 has come a

00:46:36.440 long way

00:46:36.980 since the

00:46:37.720 bow-tied

00:46:38.200 folly of

00:46:38.980 his neoconservative

00:46:40.080 youth.

00:46:40.600 Okay,

00:46:41.240 so that's

00:46:41.720 just an

00:46:42.280 insult.

00:46:43.660 Bow-tied

00:46:44.460 folly of

00:46:45.460 his neoconservative

00:46:46.420 youth.

00:46:47.060 All right,

00:46:47.440 no specifics

00:46:48.160 there,

00:46:48.600 that's just,

00:46:49.400 I think I'll

00:46:50.040 insult him.

00:46:51.180 After leaving

00:46:51.880 Fox News,

00:46:52.740 blah,

00:46:52.920 blah,

00:46:53.040 blah,

00:46:53.160 he went over

00:46:53.760 the edge.

00:46:54.340 Okay,

00:46:54.620 that's your

00:46:55.100 opinion.

00:46:56.520 There's no

00:46:57.300 evidence that

00:46:59.140 he's using

00:46:59.880 to do

00:47:00.780 that.

00:47:02.260 He donned

00:47:03.160 a plaid

00:47:03.660 shirt of

00:47:04.040 the people,

00:47:06.060 rediscovered

00:47:06.900 Christianity.

00:47:08.200 He didn't

00:47:08.780 really rediscover

00:47:10.280 Christianity.

00:47:11.660 That's crazy.

00:47:13.340 What are you

00:47:13.960 watching?

00:47:14.960 He may have

00:47:15.880 updated some

00:47:18.100 of his views,

00:47:18.820 but he was

00:47:19.240 super Christian

00:47:20.340 the whole time.

00:47:20.840 he cashed

00:47:23.080 in on his

00:47:23.600 legacy status

00:47:24.580 as a

00:47:25.000 ringmaster.

00:47:25.920 You mean

00:47:26.300 he had a

00:47:26.720 job?

00:47:28.680 Yeah.

00:47:29.780 We're all

00:47:30.620 cashing in.

00:47:32.220 It's called

00:47:32.680 a job.

00:47:34.000 Is that

00:47:34.640 okay?

00:47:35.840 Is it

00:47:36.460 okay that

00:47:36.900 he got a

00:47:37.380 job?

00:47:39.320 Can I

00:47:40.000 get a

00:47:40.280 job?

00:47:41.320 I got

00:47:41.720 canceled.

00:47:43.040 Am I a

00:47:43.680 bad person

00:47:44.240 if I got

00:47:44.860 canceled and

00:47:45.540 then I

00:47:46.380 went and

00:47:46.660 got a

00:47:46.940 job?

00:47:47.800 I got a

00:47:48.580 job to

00:47:49.780 make money.

00:47:50.840 That's

00:47:51.740 okay,

00:47:52.120 isn't it?

00:47:53.200 Anyway,

00:47:54.520 this is what

00:47:55.260 else he says

00:47:55.800 about him.

00:47:57.240 And he

00:47:58.460 reinvented

00:47:59.340 himself as

00:48:00.040 the second

00:48:00.480 coming of

00:48:01.100 Alex Jones.

00:48:02.260 Now you

00:48:02.740 recognize that

00:48:03.580 as an

00:48:04.000 attack by

00:48:04.660 association.

00:48:06.120 If you

00:48:06.680 don't have

00:48:07.140 something to

00:48:07.680 say about

00:48:08.100 the person,

00:48:09.340 you say

00:48:10.140 something about

00:48:10.780 who they

00:48:11.080 had a

00:48:11.380 photograph

00:48:11.680 with or

00:48:13.040 who they

00:48:13.380 remind you

00:48:13.940 of.

00:48:14.940 Why would

00:48:15.660 you have

00:48:15.880 to do

00:48:16.120 that?

00:48:17.520 Why would

00:48:17.940 you have

00:48:18.200 to mock

00:48:18.760 them for

00:48:19.120 a photograph

00:48:19.700 an

00:48:20.940 association

00:48:21.680 or who

00:48:22.840 they

00:48:23.020 remind you

00:48:23.620 of?

00:48:24.420 It's

00:48:24.620 because you

00:48:25.040 don't have

00:48:25.400 a fucking

00:48:25.920 real thing

00:48:26.780 to complain

00:48:27.400 about.

00:48:28.580 These are

00:48:28.940 just made

00:48:29.300 up things.

00:48:30.940 What else?

00:48:33.320 He says,

00:48:34.140 so this is

00:48:34.700 Dominic Green

00:48:35.460 writing the

00:48:35.940 Wall Street

00:48:36.220 Journal,

00:48:36.660 an opinion

00:48:36.980 piece.

00:48:37.720 He says

00:48:38.080 that Mr.

00:48:38.600 Carlson has

00:48:39.160 interviewed a

00:48:39.740 podcaster who

00:48:41.340 thinks Winston

00:48:42.080 Churchill was

00:48:42.820 the villain of

00:48:43.460 World War

00:48:43.920 II.

00:48:44.180 Now, I

00:48:47.160 watched a

00:48:47.700 little bit

00:48:48.120 of that

00:48:48.400 content.

00:48:50.000 Do you

00:48:50.300 think that

00:48:50.740 describes the

00:48:51.960 nuance of

00:48:52.660 what happened

00:48:53.100 there?

00:48:54.740 We know

00:48:56.140 who it

00:48:56.360 is, but

00:48:56.800 the one

00:48:57.680 podcaster who

00:48:59.060 thinks that

00:48:59.620 Winston Churchill

00:49:00.340 was the

00:49:00.920 villain of

00:49:01.400 World War

00:49:01.820 II, worse

00:49:04.220 than

00:49:04.460 Hitler?

00:49:05.420 Do you

00:49:05.920 think that

00:49:06.300 if we

00:49:06.560 talked to

00:49:07.000 the podcaster

00:49:07.680 and said,

00:49:09.240 hey, this

00:49:09.580 Dominic Green

00:49:10.200 says you

00:49:10.640 think that

00:49:11.440 Winston

00:49:12.000 Churchill was

00:49:12.740 worse than

00:49:13.220 Hitler in

00:49:14.680 World War

00:49:15.120 II?

00:49:15.400 Is that

00:49:15.620 right?

00:49:16.320 Do you

00:49:16.520 think he

00:49:16.780 would say,

00:49:17.100 oh, yeah,

00:49:17.340 that's kind

00:49:17.780 of what I

00:49:18.040 said?

00:49:19.020 Do you

00:49:19.260 think he'd

00:49:19.560 say that?

00:49:20.600 No, he

00:49:21.140 wouldn't.

00:49:22.720 No.

00:49:23.940 While I

00:49:24.660 am not,

00:49:25.580 let me be

00:49:26.320 clear, I'm

00:49:27.440 not defending

00:49:28.060 Daryl

00:49:28.460 Cooper.

00:49:29.400 I don't

00:49:30.000 really know

00:49:30.440 anything about

00:49:31.080 that point

00:49:32.040 of history.

00:49:33.340 I've heard

00:49:33.940 him say some

00:49:34.500 things that I

00:49:35.040 thought,

00:49:35.480 whoo, you

00:49:36.400 know, certainly

00:49:37.120 things that

00:49:37.600 raised my

00:49:38.020 eyebrows, but

00:49:39.440 I saw it

00:49:39.920 under free

00:49:40.600 speech, didn't

00:49:42.300 necessarily

00:49:42.920 change my

00:49:43.940 opinion because

00:49:44.660 of anything he

00:49:45.220 said.

00:49:46.060 I thought it

00:49:46.500 was interesting

00:49:47.060 that a person

00:49:47.760 exists with

00:49:48.700 opinions I

00:49:49.520 hadn't heard

00:49:49.880 before.

00:49:50.740 I thought it

00:49:51.420 was interesting

00:49:52.320 that he was

00:49:52.820 brave enough

00:49:53.380 to go public

00:49:54.760 with things that

00:49:55.400 he knew would

00:49:55.920 be a little

00:49:56.300 controversial,

00:49:57.400 a little

00:49:57.760 controversial.

00:50:01.040 But is this

00:50:01.820 an accurate

00:50:02.700 summary of

00:50:04.900 who he is?

00:50:06.140 This is Daryl

00:50:06.860 Cooper, if you

00:50:07.480 wondered.

00:50:07.720 I think

00:50:09.740 there's plenty

00:50:12.000 of room for

00:50:12.640 criticizing his

00:50:14.680 or anybody

00:50:15.080 else's message.

00:50:16.440 So that's

00:50:16.860 not the

00:50:17.180 point.

00:50:17.540 So I'm

00:50:17.760 not supporting

00:50:18.740 him.

00:50:19.900 I don't

00:50:20.520 even know

00:50:20.940 entirely what

00:50:21.780 his opinions

00:50:22.260 were about

00:50:22.940 Churchill, but

00:50:24.740 that's not

00:50:26.340 my point.

00:50:27.620 My point

00:50:28.160 is almost

00:50:28.720 certainly he's

00:50:29.280 being mischaracterized.

00:50:31.680 Even if he

00:50:32.540 really should

00:50:33.120 be criticized

00:50:35.000 for something,

00:50:36.080 this is not

00:50:36.620 the way to do

00:50:37.080 it.

00:50:37.720 All right.

00:50:39.740 They say

00:50:40.540 that Tucker

00:50:41.020 raised discredited

00:50:42.860 claims that

00:50:43.880 Ashkenazi Jews

00:50:45.000 are immune to

00:50:45.800 COVID.

00:50:47.260 Did that

00:50:47.760 happen?

00:50:49.240 Did that

00:50:49.620 really happen?

00:50:52.280 Now, if

00:50:54.340 the discredited

00:50:55.460 claims are

00:50:56.820 things that

00:50:57.840 are in the

00:50:58.860 news, aren't

00:51:01.100 you allowed

00:51:01.520 to ask about

00:51:02.200 that?

00:51:03.540 And if the

00:51:04.260 answer is,

00:51:05.200 oh, no,

00:51:05.580 that was all

00:51:06.160 BS, it's

00:51:06.980 disavowed,

00:51:07.720 are you

00:51:08.980 the villain

00:51:10.340 because you

00:51:11.560 asked about

00:51:12.100 something and

00:51:12.680 the answer

00:51:13.020 was that it

00:51:13.560 was disavowed

00:51:14.940 and there

00:51:15.260 was nothing

00:51:15.600 to it, which

00:51:16.660 I believe

00:51:17.060 there's not

00:51:17.580 much to

00:51:17.980 it.

00:51:19.200 Certainly

00:51:19.660 there's a

00:51:20.180 possibility

00:51:20.720 that some

00:51:22.120 demographic

00:51:23.920 groups have

00:51:24.700 worse or

00:51:25.340 better

00:51:25.940 pandemic

00:51:27.200 performance.

00:51:28.860 I think

00:51:29.200 that part's

00:51:29.700 demonstrated,

00:51:30.340 right?

00:51:30.500 But whether

00:51:31.300 or not

00:51:31.620 that has

00:51:31.980 anything to

00:51:32.440 do with

00:51:32.720 any

00:51:32.980 conspiracy

00:51:33.740 or anything,

00:51:34.340 there's no

00:51:35.240 evidence of

00:51:35.780 that.

00:51:37.520 So, can

00:51:38.640 a podcaster

00:51:39.500 ask somebody

00:51:40.260 about a

00:51:41.820 view that

00:51:42.480 has been

00:51:43.080 debunked?

00:51:44.560 Why not?

00:51:46.260 Why can't

00:51:46.840 you ask about

00:51:47.420 something that's

00:51:48.040 already been

00:51:48.460 debunked?

00:51:48.980 If your

00:51:51.220 audience doesn't

00:51:51.980 know it's

00:51:52.280 already

00:51:52.520 debunked,

00:51:53.940 isn't that

00:51:54.460 serving the

00:51:55.000 audience?

00:51:56.260 Hey, what

00:51:56.700 about this?

00:51:57.260 Oh, it's

00:51:57.580 debunked.

00:51:58.320 Okay.

00:51:59.520 Now my

00:51:59.980 audience knows

00:52:00.600 it's debunked.

00:52:01.900 How is that

00:52:02.640 a problem?

00:52:04.140 Again, free

00:52:05.560 speech.

00:52:08.260 And as far

00:52:09.020 as I know,

00:52:09.460 there's nothing

00:52:09.840 to that claim.

00:52:13.700 And he says

00:52:14.200 that Benjamin

00:52:14.760 Netanyahu

00:52:15.240 openly tells

00:52:16.200 Israelis,

00:52:17.360 and now he

00:52:17.820 says that

00:52:18.340 Tucker claims

00:52:19.900 this, that

00:52:20.680 Netanyahu

00:52:22.440 tells Israelis,

00:52:24.200 quote, I

00:52:24.620 control the

00:52:25.140 United States,

00:52:25.820 I control

00:52:26.260 Donald Trump.

00:52:27.160 I think

00:52:27.560 there's some

00:52:28.100 video in

00:52:30.700 which Netanyahu

00:52:34.320 is making

00:52:35.080 some claims

00:52:35.780 about how

00:52:36.980 he can handle

00:52:37.560 the United

00:52:37.980 States

00:52:38.460 persuasion-wise.

00:52:40.420 Is that a

00:52:41.280 problem?

00:52:42.820 Why would

00:52:43.740 that be a

00:52:44.180 problem?

00:52:45.280 And who

00:52:45.660 would be

00:52:46.040 surprised if

00:52:47.740 Netanyahu

00:52:48.280 said that

00:52:49.000 if he told

00:52:50.900 people in

00:52:51.460 Israel,

00:52:52.120 because that's

00:52:52.500 the important

00:52:52.880 part, he was

00:52:53.420 talking to

00:52:53.780 people in

00:52:54.160 Israel, who

00:52:55.020 would be

00:52:55.320 surprised if

00:52:56.700 the leader of

00:52:57.280 Israel said

00:52:57.860 that he had

00:52:58.260 some sway

00:52:58.900 with the

00:53:00.020 country that

00:53:00.580 matters the

00:53:01.100 most, and

00:53:01.780 they seem to

00:53:02.240 be buddies,

00:53:03.300 and they seem

00:53:03.800 to have worked

00:53:04.260 productively

00:53:04.860 together?

00:53:07.500 Where are

00:53:08.140 our problems

00:53:08.780 here?

00:53:09.500 To me, this

00:53:10.600 all falls under

00:53:11.360 free speech.

00:53:12.600 Tucker and

00:53:14.160 Daryl Cooper

00:53:14.780 and everybody

00:53:15.380 else can defend

00:53:16.160 their own

00:53:16.520 points of

00:53:16.960 view, as

00:53:18.040 can Fuentes.

00:53:18.840 I'm not

00:53:19.220 defending

00:53:19.540 anybody's

00:53:20.060 point of

00:53:20.360 view.

00:53:21.540 I'm just

00:53:22.240 saying that

00:53:22.740 years ago,

00:53:23.560 when I saw

00:53:24.300 this situation

00:53:25.360 developing, I

00:53:27.320 started saying

00:53:28.020 in public, and

00:53:28.700 I'll say it

00:53:29.120 again, I

00:53:31.620 defend my

00:53:33.620 right to

00:53:35.900 associate with,

00:53:37.640 talk to, and

00:53:40.200 platform anybody

00:53:42.340 I fucking

00:53:43.220 want.

00:53:44.380 Free speech.

00:53:45.980 Somebody won't

00:53:46.880 like it?

00:53:48.240 Let me know.

00:53:49.460 Free speech.

00:53:51.800 Anyway, I

00:53:53.040 don't think the

00:53:53.520 MAGA thing is

00:53:54.160 real.

00:53:54.700 I think it's

00:53:55.080 something the

00:53:55.520 left wants to

00:53:56.200 be real, but

00:53:57.540 as long as the

00:53:58.140 right stays in

00:53:58.920 free speech, we

00:54:01.240 don't like what

00:54:01.800 you said about

00:54:02.720 that, Tucker,

00:54:03.520 but we like

00:54:04.560 this, what's

00:54:06.120 wrong with

00:54:06.460 that?

00:54:08.800 So, if

00:54:09.980 you're a

00:54:11.600 Jewish and

00:54:12.480 you thought

00:54:12.860 that the

00:54:13.320 collective,

00:54:15.440 let's say the

00:54:16.320 collective energy

00:54:18.240 of all this

00:54:18.800 stuff is

00:54:19.580 anti-Semitic,

00:54:21.320 I get that.

00:54:23.060 I get that.

00:54:24.300 When I

00:54:24.760 listen to

00:54:25.340 Fuentes, it

00:54:26.940 feels anti-Semitic

00:54:28.020 to me.

00:54:28.900 I don't even

00:54:29.480 know if he'd

00:54:29.880 deny it,

00:54:30.380 actually.

00:54:30.880 I'm not

00:54:31.380 even sure

00:54:31.680 what he'd

00:54:31.920 say, but

00:54:32.480 it feels

00:54:32.800 anti-Semitic

00:54:33.540 to me.

00:54:37.900 But I

00:54:38.460 also am

00:54:39.280 fascinated by

00:54:41.000 how he got

00:54:41.480 to that

00:54:41.800 point, and

00:54:42.500 I find it

00:54:43.060 not persuasive

00:54:44.200 at all,

00:54:45.240 because it

00:54:45.940 feels like

00:54:46.460 the thing

00:54:46.800 that gets

00:54:47.180 him into

00:54:47.580 anti-Semitic

00:54:48.460 territory is

00:54:49.960 some assumptions

00:54:50.860 about how

00:54:51.700 strangers are

00:54:52.480 thinking that

00:54:54.140 I don't see.

00:54:55.700 You know,

00:54:55.960 that's always

00:54:56.320 dangerous territory.

00:54:57.140 I assume

00:54:58.480 they don't

00:54:59.640 say it,

00:55:00.580 but I

00:55:00.900 think they're

00:55:01.400 thinking this

00:55:01.980 way, and

00:55:03.060 that all of

00:55:03.660 them are.

00:55:04.920 That's where

00:55:05.480 you get in

00:55:05.880 trouble.

00:55:06.400 I don't buy

00:55:06.940 any of that.

00:55:08.640 To me, it

00:55:09.080 looks like

00:55:09.540 people who are

00:55:10.060 going to

00:55:10.340 school get a

00:55:11.080 lot of

00:55:11.280 power.

00:55:13.340 That's about

00:55:13.960 it.

00:55:14.840 And of course,

00:55:15.480 they might want

00:55:16.020 different things

00:55:16.560 than you want,

00:55:17.680 but that's the

00:55:18.380 whole world.

00:55:19.480 That's the

00:55:19.860 whole world.

00:55:21.140 Anyway, so

00:55:22.520 they can defend

00:55:24.020 their own views,

00:55:24.940 but it does

00:55:25.600 sound anti-Semitic

00:55:26.540 to me.

00:55:27.340 Tucker sounds

00:55:28.040 like he's

00:55:28.720 playing a

00:55:30.820 different game.

00:55:32.840 I think he

00:55:33.600 wants America

00:55:35.320 first.

00:55:35.880 He thinks

00:55:36.180 Israel's maybe

00:55:37.400 too much of

00:55:38.000 that equation.

00:55:39.700 It's a fairly

00:55:40.360 mainstream view

00:55:41.220 on the right.

00:55:44.460 Well, Trump

00:55:45.240 is saying now

00:55:45.800 that there will

00:55:46.200 be no

00:55:46.580 Venezuela land

00:55:47.600 attack.

00:55:48.080 I don't

00:55:51.480 know what

00:55:51.720 that includes,

00:55:53.600 but see,

00:55:56.600 Marco Rubio

00:55:57.260 said,

00:55:58.020 according to

00:55:58.640 he was

00:55:59.340 mocking some

00:55:59.940 newspaper,

00:56:00.960 he said,

00:56:01.380 your sources,

00:56:02.360 in quotes,

00:56:03.320 claiming to

00:56:03.840 have, quote,

00:56:04.460 knowledge of

00:56:05.220 the situation,

00:56:06.520 tricked you

00:56:07.020 into writing

00:56:07.520 a fake story

00:56:08.420 about the

00:56:09.200 possibility that

00:56:10.100 we would do

00:56:11.200 a land

00:56:11.580 invasion in

00:56:12.440 Venezuela.

00:56:13.440 So Trump

00:56:13.980 says it's

00:56:14.420 not real,

00:56:15.260 no land

00:56:15.780 invasion.

00:56:17.020 Marco Rubio

00:56:17.700 mocks it.

00:56:19.840 And Tulsi

00:56:22.340 Gabbard said

00:56:23.120 recently that

00:56:24.440 the former

00:56:25.120 American strategy

00:56:26.020 of regime

00:56:26.680 change is

00:56:27.360 over,

00:56:27.840 and I

00:56:28.100 guess there

00:56:28.440 would be

00:56:28.720 no point

00:56:29.720 in going

00:56:30.020 into Venezuela

00:56:30.800 unless it

00:56:32.420 was regime

00:56:32.960 change.

00:56:35.360 And so the

00:56:36.220 question we

00:56:36.740 have now,

00:56:37.800 is it true

00:56:38.560 that Trump

00:56:39.520 has ruled

00:56:40.060 out any

00:56:40.880 land-based

00:56:41.780 military action

00:56:42.940 in Venezuela?

00:56:44.020 Is that

00:56:44.400 true?

00:56:44.780 or is

00:56:46.080 he playing

00:56:46.600 an Iran

00:56:47.240 game where

00:56:48.480 he's telling

00:56:49.280 them it's

00:56:49.700 not going

00:56:50.020 to happen

00:56:50.420 right before

00:56:51.600 it happens?

00:56:52.820 Because that's

00:56:53.300 sort of what

00:56:53.960 he did with

00:56:54.360 Iran,

00:56:55.380 and it

00:56:56.220 worked.

00:56:57.100 We don't

00:56:57.680 know.

00:57:00.240 My guess is

00:57:01.400 that he's

00:57:01.900 finding out

00:57:02.480 that a land

00:57:03.400 invasion would

00:57:04.100 be so

00:57:04.500 unpopular

00:57:05.060 with at least

00:57:06.700 half or more

00:57:07.820 of MAGA

00:57:08.300 that it

00:57:09.600 wouldn't be

00:57:09.940 worth the

00:57:10.540 squeeze.

00:57:11.600 would you

00:57:13.140 agree?

00:57:13.960 How many

00:57:14.520 of you

00:57:14.800 would be

00:57:15.260 just

00:57:16.200 maddened

00:57:17.720 if he

00:57:18.700 started a

00:57:19.380 land war?

00:57:20.880 Even if it

00:57:21.600 looked like,

00:57:22.740 oh, this

00:57:23.120 won't take

00:57:23.580 long, you

00:57:24.800 know, 30

00:57:25.180 days will be

00:57:25.840 done, but

00:57:26.440 you wouldn't

00:57:26.720 believe it,

00:57:27.340 right?

00:57:27.660 You wouldn't

00:57:28.020 believe it'd be

00:57:28.560 done in 30

00:57:29.080 days.

00:57:29.400 You'd think it'd

00:57:29.840 last forever

00:57:30.300 like everything.

00:57:31.940 I'm looking at

00:57:32.680 the comments.

00:57:33.780 Yeah, so it

00:57:34.300 could be an

00:57:35.380 entirely, yeah,

00:57:36.780 it may be that

00:57:37.420 he just did a

00:57:38.400 trial balloon,

00:57:39.000 and that it

00:57:41.040 didn't go over

00:57:41.580 at all, and

00:57:43.720 since it didn't

00:57:44.320 go over at

00:57:44.780 all, maybe

00:57:47.180 he backed

00:57:47.620 off, or it

00:57:48.640 could be they

00:57:49.060 have some

00:57:49.460 completely

00:57:49.920 different strategy

00:57:51.280 that doesn't

00:57:51.840 require it.

00:57:53.180 So there's a

00:57:53.740 lot of

00:57:53.960 unknowns there.

00:57:54.880 Fog of war,

00:57:55.880 too many

00:57:56.280 unknowns.

00:57:58.220 According to

00:57:59.060 Town Hall,

00:58:00.780 Amy Curtis

00:58:01.420 is writing,

00:58:02.880 that Mamdani

00:58:03.840 plans to tax

00:58:04.760 businesses even

00:58:05.780 if they're based

00:58:06.440 outside of New

00:58:07.140 York City.

00:58:09.000 First of all,

00:58:10.040 does he have

00:58:10.460 the power to

00:58:10.940 tax anything?

00:58:12.200 The mayor?

00:58:13.280 Does the mayor

00:58:14.020 have taxing

00:58:14.760 power?

00:58:16.180 I'm not sure

00:58:16.620 how that works.

00:58:17.780 But allegedly,

00:58:19.980 even if you

00:58:20.780 moved your

00:58:21.320 business out of

00:58:21.960 the state,

00:58:22.780 or if you're

00:58:23.500 doing business

00:58:24.020 in the state,

00:58:24.780 but it's not

00:58:25.180 where you're

00:58:25.520 domiciled,

00:58:26.720 he still wants

00:58:27.360 to tax you.

00:58:29.920 How could you

00:58:30.700 actually make

00:58:31.300 that work?

00:58:33.800 So he says,

00:58:34.940 I guess he

00:58:35.640 said recently,

00:58:36.840 oops,

00:58:37.100 he said

00:58:39.440 recently,

00:58:39.960 so the way

00:58:40.440 this tax

00:58:40.940 works is it

00:58:41.680 applies to

00:58:42.240 any business

00:58:43.000 doing business

00:58:43.760 here,

00:58:44.180 meaning New

00:58:44.580 York City.

00:58:45.280 They can be

00:58:45.980 located in

00:58:46.680 Miami,

00:58:47.840 but if they're

00:58:48.920 doing business

00:58:49.520 in New York,

00:58:50.040 it applies to

00:58:50.720 them.

00:58:52.440 Well,

00:58:53.360 wait a minute.

00:58:54.860 Isn't that the

00:58:55.600 current situation?

00:58:57.620 If you had a,

00:58:59.240 if your corporate

00:59:00.600 entity is in

00:59:01.420 one state,

00:59:02.940 let's say your

00:59:03.720 Walmart stores

00:59:04.840 stores are in

00:59:05.480 other states,

00:59:06.980 don't the

00:59:07.340 Walmart stores

00:59:08.300 get taxed in

00:59:09.240 the states

00:59:09.680 where they do

00:59:10.160 business,

00:59:11.040 as opposed to

00:59:11.880 where their

00:59:12.200 corporate entity

00:59:13.080 is located?

00:59:14.660 I'm not sure

00:59:15.400 how different

00:59:15.840 this is.

00:59:17.620 So maybe he's

00:59:19.280 not so good

00:59:19.780 on the details.

00:59:22.080 So I'm not

00:59:23.500 sure this is

00:59:23.980 a real story,

00:59:24.640 actually.

00:59:25.660 The more I

00:59:26.720 think about it,

00:59:27.340 it doesn't look

00:59:27.780 like a real

00:59:28.220 story.

00:59:29.560 So big

00:59:30.740 question mark

00:59:31.300 on that one.

00:59:31.760 CNN is

00:59:33.920 reporting that

00:59:34.680 according to

00:59:35.900 the FBI,

00:59:36.760 they thwarted

00:59:37.600 an ISIS

00:59:38.700 inspired attack.

00:59:40.040 That would

00:59:40.240 be a terrorist

00:59:41.460 attack.

00:59:42.100 I guess there

00:59:42.520 were rifles

00:59:43.040 they found.

00:59:44.180 And there

00:59:44.480 was some

00:59:44.780 online chatting

00:59:45.540 about shooting

00:59:46.980 something up

00:59:47.580 on Halloween.

00:59:49.000 And once,

00:59:50.260 I guess they

00:59:50.820 called it

00:59:51.100 pumpkin day

00:59:51.700 online.

00:59:52.440 And once the

00:59:53.200 FBI said,

00:59:54.000 oops,

00:59:54.400 they got

00:59:54.780 weapons,

00:59:55.340 they're talking

00:59:55.720 about a

00:59:57.160 big terrorist

00:59:58.480 act,

00:59:59.200 and they

00:59:59.640 picked a

01:00:00.060 date,

01:00:00.400 that's when

01:00:01.720 they moved

01:00:02.060 in.

01:00:02.580 The peak

01:00:02.900 of the

01:00:03.160 date,

01:00:03.440 I think,

01:00:03.740 was the

01:00:04.040 trigger.

01:00:05.460 But one

01:00:06.180 wonders,

01:00:07.420 is the

01:00:08.360 FBI now

01:00:09.080 so good,

01:00:10.440 and maybe

01:00:10.940 they have

01:00:11.380 been for

01:00:11.700 some time,

01:00:12.540 so good

01:00:13.320 at catching

01:00:14.920 things before

01:00:15.840 they happen

01:00:16.400 that that's

01:00:17.680 the reason

01:00:18.100 there hasn't

01:00:18.540 been a

01:00:18.860 911 again?

01:00:21.300 You know,

01:00:21.600 of course,

01:00:21.920 that would

01:00:22.140 be giving

01:00:22.520 up all

01:00:23.280 of our

01:00:23.560 privacy,

01:00:24.100 which we've

01:00:24.460 already

01:00:24.640 done.

01:00:25.240 But if

01:00:25.700 you give

01:00:25.960 up all

01:00:26.360 your privacy,

01:00:27.900 which I'm

01:00:28.280 pretty sure

01:00:28.680 we've already

01:00:29.100 done,

01:00:29.360 whether you

01:00:30.120 know it

01:00:30.460 or not,

01:00:31.600 is that

01:00:32.660 enough to

01:00:33.080 stop basically

01:00:34.200 every attack?

01:00:36.580 You know,

01:00:36.840 almost every

01:00:37.600 attack?

01:00:38.800 It might

01:00:39.540 be.

01:00:41.420 I've been

01:00:42.060 puzzling about

01:00:42.800 this for,

01:00:43.520 what,

01:00:44.120 20 years?

01:00:45.420 About why

01:00:46.180 there haven't

01:00:46.620 been obviously

01:00:47.420 more attacks.

01:00:48.800 Clearly,

01:00:49.420 you can get

01:00:49.880 people into

01:00:50.400 the country.

01:00:51.820 Clearly,

01:00:52.400 those people

01:00:52.940 could be

01:00:53.360 terrorists.

01:00:54.640 Clearly,

01:00:55.220 they could

01:00:55.580 get the

01:00:55.920 kind of

01:00:56.440 weapons you

01:00:56.940 would use

01:00:57.260 for an

01:00:57.560 attack.

01:00:57.960 Clearly,

01:00:59.620 there's

01:00:59.940 people who

01:01:00.480 want to

01:01:00.840 do it.

01:01:01.940 Clearly,

01:01:02.500 there are

01:01:02.660 people who

01:01:03.040 have tried

01:01:03.340 to do

01:01:03.660 it.

01:01:04.880 Why

01:01:05.340 didn't it

01:01:05.700 happen?

01:01:07.740 What's

01:01:08.200 going on?

01:01:09.480 Why didn't

01:01:10.000 it happen?

01:01:10.860 The only

01:01:11.580 explanation I

01:01:12.400 can think

01:01:12.780 of is that

01:01:13.880 whatever you

01:01:14.480 think is

01:01:15.040 the amount

01:01:16.440 of privacy

01:01:17.120 that you've

01:01:17.600 already given

01:01:18.280 up,

01:01:19.220 it might

01:01:19.920 be more

01:01:20.300 than that.

01:01:20.880 whatever

01:01:23.540 government

01:01:24.040 knows about

01:01:24.820 you is

01:01:26.400 probably

01:01:27.020 similar to

01:01:27.760 what they

01:01:28.000 know about

01:01:28.520 every phone

01:01:29.240 call and

01:01:29.700 every terrorist

01:01:30.460 and everybody

01:01:31.020 had a bad

01:01:31.700 idea and

01:01:32.900 said something

01:01:33.460 on social

01:01:33.920 line anywhere

01:01:34.560 in the world

01:01:35.060 ever.

01:01:36.620 So,

01:01:37.500 I don't know

01:01:38.700 how to reconcile

01:01:39.300 other than

01:01:40.100 100% loss

01:01:41.620 of privacy,

01:01:42.820 but we just

01:01:43.680 kind of

01:01:44.800 don't see it

01:01:46.200 happening,

01:01:46.980 so we

01:01:47.700 kind of let

01:01:48.720 it go.

01:01:49.080 So,

01:01:50.880 I don't

01:01:51.340 know.

01:01:52.480 You think

01:01:52.820 it's because

01:01:53.240 Saddam

01:01:53.680 is gone.

01:01:55.840 All right.

01:01:57.520 Here's

01:01:58.040 something that

01:01:58.980 you should

01:01:59.380 have seen

01:01:59.720 coming,

01:02:00.560 but I

01:02:01.820 didn't.

01:02:02.660 So,

01:02:02.980 according to

01:02:03.340 the Telegraph,

01:02:04.780 Charles

01:02:05.300 Highmiss is

01:02:05.820 writing,

01:02:06.480 some gangs

01:02:07.340 are using

01:02:07.960 gigantic

01:02:09.240 drones,

01:02:09.900 like super

01:02:10.420 drones they

01:02:10.860 call them,

01:02:11.440 to airlift

01:02:12.200 inmates

01:02:12.680 out of

01:02:13.020 prison.

01:02:14.680 Now,

01:02:15.320 I wasn't

01:02:15.740 sure,

01:02:16.040 I just

01:02:16.320 skimmed

01:02:16.640 this before

01:02:17.080 I got

01:02:17.380 on,

01:02:17.760 I wasn't

01:02:18.280 sure if

01:02:18.560 they've

01:02:18.760 already done

01:02:19.400 it,

01:02:20.200 but the

01:02:20.540 idea is

01:02:21.120 that if

01:02:21.440 you get

01:02:21.660 a big

01:02:21.980 enough

01:02:22.240 drone,

01:02:23.400 you just

01:02:23.920 drop that

01:02:24.640 thing into

01:02:25.120 the yard

01:02:25.940 and the

01:02:26.680 bad guy

01:02:27.100 grabs on

01:02:27.720 and it

01:02:27.920 just flies

01:02:28.380 him out

01:02:28.660 of the

01:02:28.860 prison.

01:02:29.960 Now,

01:02:30.920 I guess

01:02:31.500 you'd have

01:02:31.820 to,

01:02:32.620 I don't

01:02:33.060 know,

01:02:33.380 maybe use

01:02:33.860 the drone

01:02:34.900 to shoot

01:02:35.320 the guards

01:02:35.820 before you

01:02:36.340 did it

01:02:36.700 or something.

01:02:37.260 I don't

01:02:37.700 know how

01:02:37.940 the guards

01:02:38.360 would ignore

01:02:38.780 that,

01:02:39.780 but they

01:02:41.260 can also

01:02:41.740 drop weapons

01:02:42.600 in.

01:02:44.000 So,

01:02:44.260 weighing even

01:02:45.640 less than

01:02:46.500 an inmate,

01:02:47.640 it would

01:02:48.960 be easier

01:02:49.660 to bring

01:02:50.100 weapons in

01:02:51.040 and then

01:02:51.840 let the

01:02:53.100 inmates

01:02:53.580 sort of

01:02:54.060 fight their

01:02:54.460 way out

01:02:54.920 with their

01:02:55.360 weapons.

01:02:56.700 But the

01:02:57.320 whole idea

01:02:58.220 of an

01:02:58.680 open-air

01:02:59.320 prison

01:02:59.740 seems to

01:03:00.500 be just

01:03:01.880 about over.

01:03:03.560 So,

01:03:04.220 we're probably

01:03:04.840 at the

01:03:05.240 end of

01:03:05.760 history

01:03:07.180 that would

01:03:08.860 allow you

01:03:09.360 to have

01:03:09.620 a prison

01:03:11.120 that doesn't

01:03:11.700 have a

01:03:11.980 top,

01:03:12.320 because

01:03:13.400 now the

01:03:13.780 top is

01:03:14.240 100%

01:03:14.820 vulnerable

01:03:16.100 to escape.

01:03:17.620 So,

01:03:18.260 that's

01:03:18.480 happening.

01:03:19.040 Giant

01:03:19.400 drones.

01:03:21.920 All right,

01:03:22.280 according to

01:03:22.740 Live Science,

01:03:24.060 Owen Hughes

01:03:24.600 is writing

01:03:25.040 this,

01:03:25.840 here's a

01:03:26.340 story I'm

01:03:27.140 reluctant to

01:03:27.960 believe is

01:03:28.460 true,

01:03:29.180 that China

01:03:29.880 solved a

01:03:30.580 century-old

01:03:31.280 problem with

01:03:32.000 a new

01:03:32.280 analog chip

01:03:33.100 that is

01:03:34.680 a thousand

01:03:35.200 times faster

01:03:36.080 than high-end

01:03:36.800 NVIDIA

01:03:37.440 GPUs.

01:03:39.140 In

01:03:39.440 theory,

01:03:41.060 and you

01:03:42.000 better put

01:03:42.420 a big

01:03:42.720 grain of

01:03:43.140 salt on

01:03:43.500 this one,

01:03:44.640 in theory,

01:03:46.140 plucky

01:03:46.500 little China

01:03:47.220 not having

01:03:47.920 access to

01:03:48.600 the best

01:03:49.020 of our

01:03:49.340 chips has

01:03:50.500 already

01:03:50.800 leapfrogged

01:03:51.460 them in

01:03:52.500 terms of

01:03:53.080 power and

01:03:54.260 not using

01:03:56.080 electricity,

01:03:56.900 like way

01:03:57.820 faster,

01:03:58.860 but also

01:03:59.500 way,

01:04:00.540 way less

01:04:01.140 energy use.

01:04:02.860 Do you

01:04:03.460 believe that

01:04:03.840 happened?

01:04:05.380 And that

01:04:06.000 it's already

01:04:06.340 done?

01:04:07.060 It's already

01:04:07.600 done.

01:04:08.840 They've

01:04:09.260 already

01:04:09.460 leapfrogged

01:04:09.960 us by a

01:04:10.640 thousand.

01:04:12.000 yeah,

01:04:14.000 but it's

01:04:14.240 not

01:04:14.420 programmable,

01:04:15.180 somebody says.

01:04:17.080 I don't

01:04:17.740 know about

01:04:18.060 that.

01:04:18.880 I would

01:04:19.620 say this

01:04:20.080 is probably

01:04:20.580 getting ahead

01:04:21.300 of itself.

01:04:22.020 I would

01:04:22.260 say it's

01:04:22.880 unlikely

01:04:23.480 that this

01:04:24.680 is exactly

01:04:25.360 what it's

01:04:26.220 being claimed

01:04:27.220 to be,

01:04:27.980 but I

01:04:29.180 will say,

01:04:30.240 you remember

01:04:31.060 my prediction

01:04:31.880 about AI,

01:04:32.840 right?

01:04:33.840 So I

01:04:34.520 held some,

01:04:35.880 I do not

01:04:36.500 give investment

01:04:37.160 advice,

01:04:37.620 let me say

01:04:37.960 this.

01:04:38.180 this is

01:04:38.660 not

01:04:38.840 investment

01:04:39.340 advice,

01:04:40.180 this is

01:04:41.160 a description

01:04:42.640 of what

01:04:43.120 I did,

01:04:44.300 and I'm

01:04:45.180 not good

01:04:45.620 at investing,

01:04:46.600 and you

01:04:46.960 should not

01:04:47.300 follow my

01:04:47.820 lead.

01:04:48.860 I'm really

01:04:49.480 not.

01:04:50.180 I'm literally

01:04:50.980 not good

01:04:52.980 at investing.

01:04:54.120 I don't think

01:04:54.700 almost anybody

01:04:55.360 is,

01:04:55.920 because it's

01:04:56.240 mostly guessing,

01:04:57.480 and I don't

01:04:57.880 really guess

01:04:58.780 better than

01:04:59.180 other people,

01:05:00.520 at least on

01:05:01.120 random things.

01:05:02.520 So I

01:05:02.960 held some

01:05:04.380 NVIDIA when

01:05:05.240 all the AI

01:05:06.140 noise started.

01:05:07.280 It went up

01:05:08.180 because that's

01:05:08.780 what it does,

01:05:09.800 but I sold

01:05:10.640 it fairly

01:05:11.180 quickly.

01:05:12.460 And the

01:05:12.800 reason I

01:05:13.180 sold it

01:05:13.560 was I

01:05:14.000 could not

01:05:14.500 imagine a

01:05:15.200 future in

01:05:16.440 which some

01:05:17.260 startup,

01:05:19.120 or maybe

01:05:19.580 China,

01:05:20.640 would come

01:05:21.320 up with a

01:05:22.040 leapfrog

01:05:22.920 technology,

01:05:24.280 and that we

01:05:24.760 would have

01:05:25.140 no visibility

01:05:25.980 on that

01:05:26.420 before it

01:05:26.880 happened,

01:05:27.740 and that

01:05:28.060 one day

01:05:28.460 you just

01:05:28.780 wake up

01:05:29.360 and somebody

01:05:30.240 would say,

01:05:30.640 hey,

01:05:30.800 China made

01:05:31.760 a chip

01:05:32.060 that's a

01:05:32.460 thousand

01:05:32.680 times better

01:05:33.220 and a

01:05:33.500 thousand

01:05:33.720 times less

01:05:34.240 energy.

01:05:34.920 They're

01:05:35.240 shipping it

01:05:35.680 tomorrow.

01:05:36.920 Now,

01:05:37.220 again,

01:05:37.420 I don't

01:05:37.680 believe this

01:05:38.120 story,

01:05:38.620 necessarily,

01:05:39.840 but it

01:05:41.380 seemed to

01:05:41.860 me that

01:05:42.200 the risk

01:05:42.700 of disruption

01:05:43.540 is higher

01:05:45.320 than anything

01:05:46.100 I've ever

01:05:46.640 seen in

01:05:47.320 my lifetime

01:05:48.020 because the

01:05:49.160 money involved

01:05:49.940 is so much

01:05:50.640 higher than

01:05:51.100 anything I've

01:05:51.720 seen in my

01:05:52.180 lifetime.

01:05:53.100 If you

01:05:53.640 tell me,

01:05:54.480 hey,

01:05:54.660 if you come

01:05:55.120 up with an

01:05:55.560 alternative

01:05:55.940 technology,

01:05:57.020 you could

01:05:57.820 make a

01:05:58.400 million dollars.

01:05:59.480 Well,

01:06:00.900 somebody would

01:06:01.400 probably try

01:06:01.780 to do it,

01:06:02.200 right?

01:06:02.560 A million

01:06:02.980 dollars?

01:06:03.760 Sure.

01:06:04.900 But if you

01:06:05.620 tell me,

01:06:06.220 you know,

01:06:07.220 if you come

01:06:07.960 up with a

01:06:08.460 better AI,

01:06:10.700 you could

01:06:11.480 make a

01:06:12.100 trillion dollars.

01:06:13.680 Wait,

01:06:14.240 wait,

01:06:14.420 what?

01:06:15.380 A trillion.

01:06:17.220 A billion,

01:06:18.100 right?

01:06:19.140 No,

01:06:19.360 a trillion.

01:06:21.220 You could

01:06:21.860 make a

01:06:22.520 trillion dollars.

01:06:23.780 How hard

01:06:24.500 would you

01:06:24.800 work for a

01:06:25.320 trillion dollars?

01:06:26.160 I would

01:06:27.280 work pretty

01:06:27.700 hard for a

01:06:28.180 million.

01:06:29.840 I'd never

01:06:30.500 sleep if I

01:06:31.200 thought I

01:06:31.540 could make

01:06:31.840 a trillion.

01:06:33.620 I'd just

01:06:34.180 keep working

01:06:34.700 until I

01:06:35.180 died.

01:06:35.920 Like,

01:06:36.220 I could

01:06:36.400 make a

01:06:36.660 trillion dollars,

01:06:37.420 a trillion,

01:06:38.160 a trillion.

01:06:39.680 Anyway,

01:06:40.540 so if you

01:06:41.180 assume that

01:06:41.680 incentives are

01:06:42.560 a real thing

01:06:43.180 and the

01:06:43.480 higher the

01:06:43.880 incentive,

01:06:44.480 the more

01:06:44.780 somebody's

01:06:45.220 going to

01:06:45.380 work on

01:06:45.780 it,

01:06:46.180 there's

01:06:46.580 never been

01:06:47.360 in the

01:06:48.060 history of

01:06:48.520 the world,

01:06:49.700 and maybe

01:06:50.100 there never

01:06:50.480 will be,

01:06:51.180 a bigger

01:06:51.660 incentive than

01:06:52.500 leapfrogging

01:06:53.220 AI.

01:06:53.580 And so

01:06:54.860 the smartest

01:06:55.460 people in

01:06:56.000 the world

01:06:56.360 are working

01:06:57.740 as hard as

01:06:58.300 they possibly

01:06:58.820 can to

01:07:00.060 make my

01:07:00.500 prediction come

01:07:01.240 true that

01:07:01.720 there's some

01:07:02.200 secret technology

01:07:03.920 we don't know

01:07:04.540 about in a

01:07:05.020 garage that's

01:07:05.680 going to

01:07:05.880 surprise us

01:07:06.440 soon.

01:07:07.160 So that's

01:07:07.860 why I sold

01:07:08.320 my NVIDIA.

01:07:09.600 But remember,

01:07:10.720 I'm a terrible

01:07:11.520 investor,

01:07:12.560 and I don't

01:07:13.760 have confidence

01:07:14.480 that that was

01:07:15.100 the right

01:07:15.340 decision.

01:07:17.800 But as

01:07:18.380 long as you

01:07:18.760 treat your

01:07:19.160 investments as

01:07:19.820 part of a

01:07:20.300 portfolio,

01:07:22.040 you know,

01:07:22.260 even if you

01:07:22.720 get some

01:07:23.380 part of it

01:07:24.160 wrong,

01:07:24.800 you probably

01:07:25.520 could still

01:07:25.920 get the rest

01:07:26.400 of it right.

01:07:27.500 So if you

01:07:28.120 see it as

01:07:28.500 part of my

01:07:28.940 diversification,

01:07:30.780 it would

01:07:31.100 make sense.

01:07:32.000 If you saw

01:07:32.600 it as an

01:07:33.100 individually

01:07:33.580 good decision,

01:07:35.620 well,

01:07:35.820 you're just

01:07:36.140 guessing.

01:07:37.020 I don't

01:07:37.600 know if

01:07:37.860 it's a

01:07:38.120 good decision.

01:07:39.060 I really

01:07:39.380 don't know.

01:07:41.020 All right.

01:07:42.060 Apparently,

01:07:42.660 French President

01:07:43.240 Macron,

01:07:43.960 according to

01:07:44.460 the Brussels

01:07:44.900 Signal,

01:07:46.340 has reached

01:07:46.760 a historic

01:07:47.480 low rating,

01:07:48.700 11%.

01:07:49.720 His approval

01:07:51.520 rating in

01:07:52.040 France is

01:07:52.460 11%.

01:07:53.380 How in

01:07:54.700 the world

01:07:55.060 do you

01:07:55.340 stay in

01:07:55.740 charge when

01:07:56.340 your approval

01:07:57.700 is 11?

01:07:59.500 Well,

01:08:00.380 it works

01:08:00.760 in Chicago.

01:08:03.300 In another

01:08:04.100 French news,

01:08:05.660 apparently they've

01:08:06.360 activated,

01:08:07.160 so it's in

01:08:07.720 production now,

01:08:08.280 the first

01:08:08.660 highway that

01:08:09.360 charges your

01:08:10.020 electric cars

01:08:10.720 and trucks

01:08:11.200 as they

01:08:11.860 drive.

01:08:13.640 ZMA

01:08:14.120 Science is

01:08:14.760 writing about

01:08:15.220 this.

01:08:16.380 Mahé André.

01:08:18.280 And apparently

01:08:19.440 they've already

01:08:20.020 put up a

01:08:20.620 kilometer and

01:08:22.060 a half,

01:08:23.400 which is

01:08:23.840 about a

01:08:24.380 mile,

01:08:25.320 and they've

01:08:26.080 turned it

01:08:26.400 on,

01:08:27.060 and it

01:08:27.500 works.

01:08:28.480 Now,

01:08:28.880 I don't

01:08:29.140 know how

01:08:29.400 much you

01:08:29.720 can charge

01:08:30.260 anything in

01:08:30.880 one mile,

01:08:31.540 so it's just

01:08:31.960 a proof-of-concept

01:08:33.040 thing,

01:08:33.600 but they built

01:08:34.700 it,

01:08:34.960 it's in the

01:08:35.400 road,

01:08:35.760 it works,

01:08:36.420 they're testing

01:08:36.860 it.

01:08:38.860 Don't you

01:08:39.240 think that

01:08:39.620 would be

01:08:39.920 ultimately the

01:08:40.740 way to do

01:08:41.160 this?

01:08:42.440 The one

01:08:43.240 thing I

01:08:43.580 don't like

01:08:44.080 about the

01:08:44.460 electric car

01:08:45.120 situation is

01:08:46.100 that you

01:08:46.280 have to

01:08:46.560 charge it.

01:08:48.180 Now,

01:08:48.660 if I had

01:08:49.040 one,

01:08:49.520 which I

01:08:49.880 don't,

01:08:50.540 I would

01:08:50.860 charge it

01:08:51.200 at home,

01:08:51.760 and I

01:08:53.060 would barely

01:08:53.460 ever need

01:08:53.900 to charge

01:08:54.260 it anywhere

01:08:54.620 else.

01:08:56.280 But,

01:08:57.660 wouldn't it

01:08:58.500 be great

01:08:58.860 if you

01:08:59.100 never had

01:08:59.600 to plug

01:08:59.940 it in?

01:09:01.260 Wouldn't

01:09:01.680 it be

01:09:01.940 great if

01:09:02.980 at least,

01:09:03.680 you know,

01:09:03.960 I'll just

01:09:04.340 pick a

01:09:04.700 random number,

01:09:05.540 let's say

01:09:05.980 30% of

01:09:06.960 your roads

01:09:07.540 that were

01:09:09.080 the ones

01:09:09.840 most traveled,

01:09:11.440 or they

01:09:12.760 don't even

01:09:13.080 have to be

01:09:13.460 the ones

01:09:13.740 most traveled.

01:09:14.740 Maybe you

01:09:15.140 could even

01:09:15.440 build the

01:09:15.860 road just

01:09:16.220 for that

01:09:16.520 purpose.

01:09:17.740 But,

01:09:18.120 wouldn't it

01:09:18.380 be great

01:09:18.800 if you

01:09:19.120 just got

01:09:19.500 charged by

01:09:20.220 going where

01:09:20.680 you're

01:09:20.880 going?

01:09:22.140 It'd be

01:09:22.400 hard to

01:09:22.720 beat that

01:09:23.120 as a

01:09:23.460 business

01:09:23.720 model.

01:09:25.140 Anyway,

01:09:26.080 ladies and

01:09:26.860 gentlemen,

01:09:27.880 that's what

01:09:28.600 I had for

01:09:29.020 you today.

01:09:30.400 Let's see,

01:09:31.260 I feel like

01:09:31.740 I'm forgetting

01:09:32.280 something.

01:09:33.500 Am I

01:09:33.780 forgetting

01:09:34.080 anything?

01:09:38.420 Did I

01:09:39.020 mention that

01:09:39.860 on the

01:09:40.900 all-in

01:09:41.420 pod?

01:09:43.320 I saw

01:09:43.900 a clip

01:09:44.260 of the

01:09:44.520 all-in

01:09:44.820 pod.

01:09:45.520 So,

01:09:46.040 Elon was

01:09:46.620 not only

01:09:47.240 on Joe

01:09:48.660 Rogan's

01:09:49.020 show,

01:09:49.260 but he

01:09:49.440 also was

01:09:50.040 on the

01:09:50.340 all-in

01:09:50.660 pod,

01:09:51.240 one of

01:09:51.420 the best

01:09:52.440 pods in

01:09:53.560 the whole

01:09:53.820 world,

01:09:54.260 as they'll

01:09:54.540 tell you.

01:09:55.640 But,

01:09:55.860 Elon was

01:09:58.040 talking about

01:09:58.540 some

01:09:59.000 particular

01:10:00.340 bureaucratic

01:10:01.880 problem in

01:10:02.920 companies,

01:10:03.840 and he

01:10:04.160 made a

01:10:04.720 Dilber

01:10:04.980 reference.

01:10:06.360 And he

01:10:06.560 said,

01:10:06.980 on the

01:10:07.720 Dilber

01:10:08.020 scale,

01:10:08.360 this

01:10:08.600 would

01:10:08.720 be

01:10:08.840 11

01:10:09.160 and

01:10:09.400 a

01:10:09.520 10.

01:10:11.820 Yeah,

01:10:12.200 Owen will

01:10:12.680 have his

01:10:12.960 spaces,

01:10:13.380 I'll mention

01:10:13.720 that again.

01:10:14.840 So,

01:10:15.220 he mentioned

01:10:15.600 Dilbert on

01:10:16.660 the all-in

01:10:17.020 pod.

01:10:18.080 All of

01:10:18.660 the all-in

01:10:19.220 pod guys

01:10:20.080 know me.

01:10:21.340 They either

01:10:22.020 know me or

01:10:22.580 I've

01:10:22.980 communicated

01:10:23.540 with them.

01:10:24.920 I guess I've

01:10:25.440 communicated

01:10:25.860 with all

01:10:27.240 of them,

01:10:27.740 one way or

01:10:28.120 the other.

01:10:29.040 So,

01:10:29.960 I love

01:10:30.600 those guys.

01:10:31.300 They're just

01:10:31.800 the most

01:10:32.120 useful.

01:10:33.400 You know

01:10:33.680 how I

01:10:34.000 always say

01:10:34.380 that the

01:10:35.060 goal of

01:10:35.460 life is

01:10:35.840 to be

01:10:36.060 useful.

01:10:37.340 Not just

01:10:38.220 entertaining,

01:10:39.560 but to be

01:10:40.260 useful.

01:10:41.100 They're the

01:10:41.700 most useful

01:10:42.700 podcast

01:10:44.140 probably in

01:10:45.980 the world

01:10:46.360 because you

01:10:47.360 get four

01:10:48.760 brilliant.

01:10:49.340 Oh,

01:10:49.480 I haven't

01:10:49.720 talked to

01:10:50.040 Freberg,

01:10:50.780 so I

01:10:51.100 don't know

01:10:51.660 him,

01:10:51.960 but he

01:10:52.380 seems cool.

01:10:55.300 They're the

01:10:55.960 most useful

01:10:56.800 podcast by

01:10:58.080 far because

01:10:59.560 you're getting

01:11:00.000 four of the

01:11:00.840 smartest,

01:11:02.020 plugged-in,

01:11:02.880 high-talent

01:11:04.460 stack people

01:11:05.280 who know

01:11:07.080 how to

01:11:07.360 communicate

01:11:07.820 really well

01:11:08.620 and get

01:11:10.180 into the

01:11:10.660 cool topics

01:11:11.520 and stuff.

01:11:12.140 You can't

01:11:12.740 beat them

01:11:13.220 for being

01:11:14.100 useful.

01:11:15.100 They're top

01:11:15.740 of the list

01:11:16.100 right there.

01:11:17.040 Anyway,

01:11:17.440 then Jason

01:11:18.240 gave me a

01:11:18.720 nice call

01:11:19.320 out.

01:11:19.700 I appreciate

01:11:20.060 that.

01:11:20.900 Appreciate

01:11:21.420 that,

01:11:21.800 Jason.

01:11:22.120 You might

01:11:22.420 be watching.

01:11:24.600 So,

01:11:25.320 we're at

01:11:25.580 the end

01:11:25.760 of the

01:11:25.920 show.

01:11:26.340 I'm

01:11:26.640 going to

01:11:26.760 say a

01:11:27.000 few words

01:11:27.460 privately

01:11:27.820 to my

01:11:28.440 beloved

01:11:28.920 local

01:11:30.100 subscribers.

01:11:31.400 So,

01:11:31.820 so far

01:11:32.240 every night,

01:11:32.880 every late

01:11:34.260 afternoon for

01:11:34.900 me.

01:11:35.280 I've been

01:11:35.740 doing a

01:11:36.300 drawing lesson

01:11:37.180 from my

01:11:37.880 man cave.

01:11:38.820 Don't know

01:11:39.280 how much

01:11:39.620 longer they'll

01:11:40.160 go because

01:11:41.240 my, you

01:11:42.220 know, my

01:11:42.540 muscles are

01:11:43.340 degrading kind

01:11:44.060 of quickly.

01:11:44.900 But at the

01:11:45.560 moment, it's

01:11:46.560 really fun.

01:11:47.660 You can watch

01:11:48.180 my hand as

01:11:49.860 I'm drawing

01:11:50.240 the cartoon and

01:11:51.020 I teach you

01:11:51.700 little tricks

01:11:52.320 about drawing

01:11:53.300 that you

01:11:53.580 wouldn't hear

01:11:54.180 anywhere else.

01:11:55.760 So,

01:11:56.420 probably we'll

01:11:56.980 do that again.

01:11:57.680 I don't give

01:11:58.120 a time for

01:11:58.660 that because

01:11:59.340 I just do

01:11:59.800 it when I

01:12:00.160 can.

01:12:00.800 But we'll

01:12:02.580 do some

01:12:02.880 more of

01:12:03.100 those.

01:12:03.700 All right.

01:12:04.700 Locals,

01:12:05.240 come at me.

01:12:06.220 The rest of

01:12:06.620 you, I hope

01:12:06.900 I see you

01:12:07.240 tomorrow.

01:12:08.580 Bye for

01:12:08.960 now.

01:12:31.800 now.
