Real Coffee with Scott Adams

00:00:00.000 for the 30 second delay you guys good morning look who's back good morning in capitalist america

00:00:09.680 let's see marcella if anyone else notices but look marcella's back you guys

00:00:14.240 aren't you excited we missed you how'd you do in court or tries i want i won the trial

00:00:22.480 there was no question i would win but there was a not not because it's me but because it was like a

00:00:30.000 very obvious case it took five years so if it was so obvious why did it take five years

00:00:36.360 because they only can decide it until you're actually at trial so it's tribal issues so

00:00:44.260 you the judge can't make a decision on it before that and it takes a while to get to trial

00:00:51.340 in california and i think that's the issue in california is that they have people pay litigation

00:01:00.540 over time because they are so impacted by so many people suing their trial is like i've had like

00:01:09.180 trials uh now um that are set for 2028 2029 lord it's not broken you guys it's not broken at all

00:06:17.880 man i know right now like my family would be proud of me they're like oh she knew a little math

00:06:23.860 andy wang yay okay so you guys let's go we're going to go to the way back machine

00:06:28.820 and let's hear scott's take on capitalism versus socialism back then we'll see you in about 15 16

00:06:36.880 minutes. Here we go. Pre-COVID. Hey everybody, this will be a short and very special whiteboard

00:06:50.660 presentation in which I'm going to put socialism and the debate over socialism in the United States

00:06:57.880 in context, probably for the first time you've ever seen it. Now, what inspired me to do this

00:07:04.260 is that I've been watching the so-called debate

00:07:08.160 over socialism, let's say,

00:07:11.120 as expressed by Bernie Sanders and AOC and others,

00:07:15.100 versus the standard Trump-Republican-Conservative view of capitalism.

00:07:20.720 And it's making me crazy

00:07:22.680 because I'm watching two people, two sides,

00:07:26.220 who think they're in a conversation but are not.

00:07:30.000 So there's an illusion of a debate.

00:07:33.720 But it's an illusion because we're not even really talking about the same things.

00:07:39.680 Somebody says, hey, we took economics too.

00:07:43.380 All right, here's what I'm watching.

00:07:44.920 So if you've got socialism in this bubble and capitalism on the other,

00:07:49.460 we know that capitalism gives us great stuff like we associate it anyway

00:07:53.780 with democracy, freedom, high standards of living.

00:07:56.260 Of course, you can go too far with your capitalism into fascism,

00:08:01.000 but nobody wants that.

00:08:02.440 Literally, nobody's in favor of that.

00:08:05.800 Over here in socialism, we worry that historically it's been associated with dictators and economic collapse

00:08:12.900 and Venezuela and genocide and Hitler and everything else.

00:08:19.640 But in the middle here is where you've got a little bit of capitalism and a little bit of socialism,

00:08:24.400 and that's where I would say that the UK with national health insurance,

00:08:28.840 Canada with national health insurance, and then anything Bernie talks about. So if Bernie Sanders

00:08:35.020 is talking about it, it's probably some version of socialism. And here's what I'm noticing. If you

00:08:41.580 talk to the people who love capitalism and dislike socialism, tell me what's wrong with socialism.

00:08:49.460 These people will say socialism is bad because dictators, economic collapse, genocide, and of

00:08:56.520 course, a lot of that has to do with a lack of incentive, right? The big advantage of capitalism

00:09:02.560 is incentive. If you have a capitalist system, people are incented to work hard. If you take

00:09:08.860 away their incentive, things devolve fairly quickly into a bad situation. Not necessarily

00:09:15.420 a dictator, but a bad situation. But here's the thing. Do the UK and Canada still have

00:09:23.000 incentive? I think they do. I think if you grew up in Canada, you know, fact check me on this,

00:09:31.540 if there are any Canadians out there, if you live in Canada, do you feel you have an incentive

00:09:39.200 to go to work? Well, of course you do. Because if the only thing you have is free health care,

00:09:46.100 or let's sweeten the pot.

00:09:49.380 If all you have is free health care

00:09:51.300 and let's say you've got free college,

00:09:54.480 I'm not suggesting these are good ideas right now.

00:09:57.000 I'm just talking about the concepts.

00:09:58.940 If you had those things,

00:10:00.440 would you still have an incentive to go work?

00:10:04.180 I think you would,

00:10:06.140 as evidenced by the fact that Canada

00:10:08.380 has a functional economy,

00:10:10.720 as does the UK.

00:10:12.820 So when I see the people over here saying,

00:10:14.960 no, Bernie, you can't have what you want because we'll

00:10:19.020 turn into this, that's not a sensible argument because we

00:10:23.040 have examples of people who have what Bernie wants us to have and they're not

00:10:27.140 falling apart. But here's the problem.

00:10:31.260 Why is it that the UK and Canada can have those

00:10:34.980 things and yet we seem to think we can't afford it here?

00:10:39.400 Here's why. Because we have a huge military.

00:10:43.180 If the United States did not have an enormous military, could the UK and Canada have what they have?

00:10:52.380 Probably not, because if we didn't have a huge military, they would have to have one,

00:10:59.280 or they may have already been conquered or in a war with somebody else.

00:11:03.820 So because we've put a priority on military spending,

00:11:07.920 I suspect that that allows some of the free riders to give free health care.

00:11:14.200 So it's not really ever an apples and oranges conversation.

00:11:18.500 The only reason that they can do what Bernie wants is because we spend so much on the military.

00:11:24.120 Now, if they were to do what President Trump suggests, let's say the NATO folks,

00:11:30.160 If they were to substantially increase their spending so that we could at least draw down our spending over time, their economies might suffer a little bit.

00:11:42.740 Ours might be able to give us some of the things that they enjoy.

00:11:46.720 Now, there's, of course, the issue of whether any of this is better than what we have.

00:11:51.160 That's a separate issue.

00:11:52.020 But in terms of why they can have these things and we can't, it's probably because of the military, and our military is so large that we can protect them, and they become a little bit of free riders.

00:12:06.900 Now, I tweeted around a quote of mine from earlier, which is the belief that capitalism can get you what socialism wants faster than socialism can get it.

00:12:22.020 So socialism, the bad kind, where you got rid of your capitalism and you've got a top-down centralized system, that's not going to get you what you want.

00:12:34.860 Just wanting it isn't going to get you what you want either.

00:12:38.360 You need to create a lot of money, and you need a lot of ingenuity, and you probably need something that's closer to,

00:12:46.060 I'm going to call it a Mark Cuban way of approaching it, which is to look at it sort of like an engineer and to say, how can you have a capitalist system that can get you as close as possible to inexpensive universal health care?

00:13:01.880 How can you get as close as possible to having some kind of low cost or free college for people who want it without without getting into this left area that you don't want to be?

00:13:13.480 Of course, nobody wants to be over here in fascism.

00:13:16.080 So all I wanted to add to this conversation

00:13:18.920 is that when the people who are in favor of capitalism

00:13:22.720 and are opposed to this,

00:13:26.100 when I say, can you explain why you're opposed to it?

00:13:29.800 They can't.

00:13:31.360 Now, they say things,

00:13:32.940 and people will say a lot of different arguments,

00:13:35.280 but there's always something missing.

00:13:38.060 It's as if the people who are dead set on this side

00:13:42.480 and dead set that this is all bad, don't really know why.

00:13:47.300 Now, it could be that I'm also leaving stuff out,

00:13:50.300 and so I'm going to put it to the public

00:13:52.540 because I have no sense of embarrassment like normal people.

00:13:56.660 I might be totally wrong about some major elements.

00:14:00.000 I might be leaving some major thought out of this,

00:14:03.900 but you'll tell me.

00:14:04.960 I'm sure you'll tell me what I'm leaving out.

00:14:06.720 The arguments that don't work are that if you give people

00:14:10.720 universal health care and, let's say, free college, you turn into

00:14:14.980 a dictatorship. What?

00:14:18.480 That doesn't even make sense. Did Canada turn into a dictatorship?

00:14:24.440 Did the UK turn into a dictatorship

00:14:26.440 because they have universal health care? There's no connecting

00:14:30.660 tissue there. The other argument I hear is it's going to be

00:14:34.160 economic collapse and genocide, but we have plenty

00:14:38.660 of examples where that's clearly not happening.

00:14:42.620 So I'm not supporting socialism.

00:14:46.440 I'm quite solidly a capitalist. Solidly a capitalist.

00:14:51.260 Don't want my taxes to go up. Don't want to be transferring 0.97

00:14:54.780 money. Don't want to be rewarding people for not working.

00:14:58.800 I don't want any of that. But I also don't want to hear arguments

00:15:02.160 that don't have any connecting tissue whatsoever. So if you can't

00:15:06.800 Explain to me why there are countries that are thriving with some of these socialist elements within a capitalist framework.

00:15:15.240 If you can't explain it, you need to work harder.

00:15:19.160 You need to go back and figure out what is my argument.

00:15:22.800 And let me challenge you right now.

00:15:25.100 In the comments, tell me what is wrong with socialism.

00:15:33.840 Slippery slope.

00:15:34.800 In my new book coming up, I talk about the slippery slope being more of a mental problem than a real problem.

00:15:44.160 That is that we imagine that everything that's heading in some direction will keep going that direction forever.

00:15:50.440 But in the real world, there are always counter forces.

00:15:53.680 So anything that goes too far eventually causes a reaction and it stabilizes.

00:15:59.380 So the slippery slope is not an actual argument.

00:16:03.380 It's a fear, but it's not a logical argument.

00:16:06.900 Because just because you don't know what would stop a trend from happening

00:16:10.780 doesn't suggest it will keep happening.

00:16:14.280 Because there's always a counterforce that pops up.

00:16:22.660 We defend Canada, that's true.

00:16:24.860 So that was the argument that I just made.

00:16:26.920 That because the U.S. has a big military presence,

00:16:29.460 countries that have a little bit of a socialist element to them

00:16:33.700 within the capitalist context

00:16:35.500 have an advantage

00:16:38.040 and they don't have to have as big a military

00:16:39.840 it's based on force and coercion

00:16:44.040 is it?

00:16:46.960 so the people who are forced and coerced

00:16:50.560 in Canada and England

00:16:54.000 are they complaining?

00:16:54.940 we don't have to wonder what happens

00:17:00.180 can't we just look at the countries doing it

00:17:02.220 somebody says I'm losing confidence in you

00:17:05.280 then I will ban you forever

00:17:07.720 you're blocked

00:17:09.620 I allow arguments, I allow facts

00:17:13.680 and I allow any kind of disagreement

00:17:15.780 so any kind of disagreement you want to offer

00:17:19.280 I'm open to it if it comes with a reason

00:17:22.600 but if I hear

00:17:25.140 but for the

00:17:26.820 but what I see here

00:17:28.720 here's another one 1.00

00:17:29.820 that just says you're an idiot 1.00

00:17:31.580 if the best you can do 1.00

00:17:33.880 is insult me personally 0.83

00:17:36.380 then you're banned forever

00:17:39.380 alright

00:17:39.940 if you have a reason I'm open to it

00:17:41.660 because honestly

00:17:42.840 I think there's something missing in my analysis

00:17:46.140 it feels like it

00:17:47.640 but I'm open to finding out what that is

00:17:50.660 Trump as a counterforce

00:17:58.060 well there are plenty of counterforces

00:18:01.140 alright so notice in the comments

00:18:03.700 a complete lack of argument

00:18:05.880 against socialism

00:18:07.860 there's an explanation

00:18:12.140 why we don't have it

00:18:13.560 which has to do with our military

00:18:14.900 protecting everybody else

00:18:16.280 but that's not an argument against socialism

00:18:19.480 That's just saying that there's a reason they can have it and we can't.

00:18:26.740 Scott, you need to read more history.

00:18:29.880 Wrong. Absolutely wrong.

00:18:32.340 I do not need to read more history.

00:18:34.680 Because that comment suggests, and again I won't read your mind,

00:18:38.940 but it strongly suggests that you're going to say socialism devolves into these things.

00:18:45.600 Nobody's making that argument.

00:18:47.020 If the UK and Canada devolve into genocide and dictatorships, I'm going to say to you, whoa, you're right.

00:18:56.200 That universal health care turned Canada into some kind of a genocidal dictator situation.

00:19:02.560 But as long as Canada is doing okay, that argument doesn't work.

00:19:07.340 where does universal basic income fall on the graph

00:19:17.160 universal basic income would probably be just to the left of this line

00:19:21.600 and the reason it's not further into the line

00:19:25.140 where you're just paying people for nothing

00:19:27.460 is that the only people who are going to want this universal basic income

00:19:31.040 should it ever become a law

00:19:32.340 are people who are not the kind you want to hire anyway

00:19:36.800 They're the people who aren't going to help your workplace.

00:19:39.920 And you either let them die or you find some way to take care of them. 0.80

00:19:44.820 And now many of them would have mental problems and physical problems

00:19:47.760 and real reasons that they can't work.

00:19:50.640 So I'm not recommending UBI.

00:19:53.280 I'm not recommending socialism.

00:19:55.380 I'm not recommending universal health care or free college.

00:19:59.120 I'm just talking about the concepts here.

00:20:00.660 All right.

00:20:02.060 Canada and UK are going bankrupt

00:20:06.960 now that would be a fact

00:20:09.960 that could be checked, I don't know

00:20:13.060 somebody says why aren't the caravans headed to Venezuela

00:20:17.200 because you're arguing this

00:20:19.940 which is not the conversation

00:20:22.200 so anybody who says

00:20:24.340 socialism is bad because Venezuela

00:20:27.780 Venezuela is over here

00:20:32.000 Bernie is not suggesting, let's have a dictatorship.

00:20:36.040 It was the dictatorship and nationalizing the main sources of income

00:20:40.640 that wrecked Venezuela, was it not?

00:20:43.480 So it was corruption, dictatorship, and nationalizing businesses.

00:20:47.280 There's nobody recommending any of that stuff.

00:20:50.680 And if they do, those would be bad ideas.

00:20:53.560 But if you're arguing Venezuela, you're not in the conversation.

00:20:59.500 You're not part of the conversation.

00:21:01.340 Because literally nobody in the United States is suggesting that we become a dictatorship

00:21:06.420 and nationalize our biggest businesses and institute massive corruption.

00:21:12.860 Nobody suggests that.

00:21:16.180 All right.

00:21:50.000 The number one argument against socialism is freedom.

00:21:57.620 Terrible argument.

00:21:59.120 Terrible argument.

00:21:59.760 Yeah, so the people over here who love capitalism will say, even if you get into this range, you've given up freedom because you're being taxed, you know, maybe involuntarily and you're told you can't have the health care you want and you're being forced to do stuff.

00:22:15.380 Terrible argument because you already live in a country in which you are forced to do all manner of things.

00:22:21.960 I mean, you have to drive a certain way, you've got to get a license for this, a tax for that,

00:22:27.460 you've got to get approved for this, you've got to get a certified for that.

00:22:31.000 We have very little real freedom.

00:22:34.700 We have a very restricted freedom already.

00:22:39.200 We're just used to it, right?

00:22:41.180 I pretty much guarantee you that if we had universal health care,

00:22:44.740 for a few years people would complain about how they're forced to have this

00:22:49.040 and they'd rather have something else.

00:22:51.100 Ten years later, it would just be what we do, and we wouldn't even notice.

00:22:55.340 So the freedom argument is very weak,

00:22:59.700 because it imagines that we're already free, and we'll be giving something up.

00:23:04.100 And the truth is, we're not even close to free.

00:23:07.600 We have some freedoms, but we're not even close to free.

00:23:11.480 We're restricted in just about every field of human endeavor.

00:23:17.360 Try parking wherever you want, see how that works out for you.

00:23:20.360 there are no more health insurance companies 0.94

00:23:25.840 now you could argue there are dumb ways to do this

00:23:29.400 and there are smart ways to do it and that's a good argument 0.55

00:23:32.400 they parasite our tech development

00:23:37.280 that may be true 1.00

00:23:38.440 Sweden's another example

00:23:45.120 somebody's saying

00:23:46.960 somebody says I don't think you know what socialism is

00:23:52.380 really I'm going to delete you

00:23:56.240 for saying I don't know what socialism is

00:24:01.060 because that is not a comment that's a comment about me

00:24:04.120 that's hilarious

00:24:05.360 driving is very different than freedom of health choice

00:24:13.680 well duh, I guess that's what makes it an analogy

00:24:17.400 in this case it's an example

00:24:21.200 I wouldn't say it's an analogy, it's an example of our many limited

00:24:25.460 freedoms, so I wouldn't call it an analogy per se

00:24:28.760 yeah, nobody's arguing that healthcare is better

00:24:37.640 in Canada, I would certainly not make that argument

00:24:40.660 All right, that's all I needed to add for today.

00:24:43.460 I wanted to see what your responses were, and I will talk to you later.

00:24:50.640 Wow.

00:24:53.620 Wow.

00:24:54.720 First of all, what a difference seven years makes, and that's fast.

00:25:01.040 Let me tell you, seven years is not the seven years of yesteryear.

00:25:06.680 That is for sure.

00:25:07.640 Okay, that was amazing.

00:25:08.720 That was amazing.

00:25:10.660 I love it. I love the interaction with the chat. And the same applies here. I will be

00:25:15.540 deleting a couple of people today after the show. Heads up. Okay. So, Owen, I'm going to come to

00:25:22.880 you first. Like, imagine if Scott- I'm holding on. I'm holding on.

00:25:28.280 Oh, my God. I mean, like, who knows what Scott would be saying now versus seven years ago,

00:25:35.380 because holy shnike, we have really dipped a leg into the socialism pool now. So, oh my gosh,

00:25:45.900 just give me your thoughts, whatever you're thinking. Well, I mean, if I were talking with

00:25:49.440 Scott or responding to that, I would say like, well, first of all, I am a little triggered too

00:25:53.840 by this topic just because it's something that I care a lot about and I've thought a lot about.

00:25:58.320 And I think for the most part, I agree with most of Scott's arguments in the sense of like,

00:26:05.380 You know, it's not like black and white. You don't want to use black and white thinking and say the only options are total socialism and total capitalism. And we aren't a total capitalist society. And health care is a great example. We're very close to socialist health care already. We have the Affordable Care Act. Some people call it Obamacare.

00:26:25.840 it forces all these health insurers to cover a whole bunch of stuff that instead of having

00:26:31.140 freedom of what you want covered and what you don't it gives subsidies to poor people and it

00:26:36.600 takes more from the rich people so it's redistributing wealth as part of that and

00:26:40.820 there's lots of rules that have been placed for a long time where if you go to an emergency room

00:26:45.260 they have to treat you even if you don't have insurance even if you can't pay and um you know

00:26:51.140 there's a lot of things in our system that are are government controlled and socialist there's

00:26:56.380 another part of is the supply of doctors that there's only a certain number of residencies

00:27:00.960 and the government sets that number and they have not changed it in many decades so the number of

00:27:06.240 doctors that are created every year which is constrained by the number of residencies they

00:27:10.020 can have to get trained is artificially controlled by the government and if you release that or

00:27:15.980 increase that you would have more doctors and it would probably be cheaper because you would have

00:27:20.660 more doctors and they complain about having you know not enough doctors in rural areas and things

00:27:25.640 like that but they're creating that situation by having essentially a socialist element of that

00:27:32.640 system and the same is true with all the other things that i think most of you probably know

00:27:37.620 are somewhat socialist like social security and medicare and i mean it there's the list goes on

00:27:42.980 and so i don't know how different we really are from some of the countries like uk and canada i

00:27:48.340 know it is different in the sense they just say it's universal and it's paid for through taxes

00:27:52.260 as opposed to being you know through buying health insurance but you know that part probably isn't

00:27:59.460 really that important or different i think the i do think that a lot of things about those systems

00:28:05.980 are worse one of which is there aren't as many incentives to do research and development because

00:28:11.580 they can't make as much money when they develop those things and so they do piggyback and free

00:28:16.740 ride off of our research and development for a lot of the medical care that they use and another

00:28:22.120 thing that I've seen plenty of stories about is that under the UK and the Canada system it's very

00:28:27.060 hard to get health care you have to wait a long time to see a specialist you might wait six months

00:28:31.520 to see a specialist to get your knee fixed or to have your procedure whatever it is and some people

00:28:37.860 might even be offered you know medical assistance and dying in Canada as opposed to waiting six

00:28:43.380 months or a year to have their pain or their condition fixed. And some people I've even seen

00:28:48.620 stories where someone with cataracts who couldn't see was told, well, you're retired, you don't

00:28:54.660 work, so you don't need to see. So we're not going to pay for your cataract surgery.

00:28:58.940 Now they're like, you don't need to see him. Would you like to die? 0.68

00:29:01.900 Yeah. And so there are a lot of problems with those systems. And I don't know if they're

00:29:06.960 completely bankrupt, but I would say that that's what happens under a socialist system in those

00:29:11.560 countries is that when you say you can basically use as much as you want and it doesn't cost you

00:29:16.580 anything well of course we're going to cover anything we consider cosmetic which you know

00:29:20.900 that already happens here too and but like they're they start taking things off the list or making

00:29:26.860 conditions like i said where it's like certain people can't get certain procedures because they

00:29:30.600 have to ration health care because that's the only way to control the cost and so you end up

00:29:35.980 rationing health care and you say now you got to wait a long time to see your doctor or get your

00:29:40.820 thing fixed and it just becomes like a you know much worse health care system and then what

00:29:47.400 happens is the rich people come to america or find their own private health care and they get

00:29:52.180 seen right away and the poor people are stuck with the substandard health care and so you're

00:29:56.420 not even helping the poor people that you supposedly are trying to help by this system

00:30:00.240 you're you're giving them worse health care but they would have otherwise aside from the health

00:30:06.740 care i mean look at how far we've gone into socialism now like beside that you know like

00:30:13.380 he's like as long as you know canada's fine um i see bj in the chat i think you'd agree canada's

00:30:20.260 not fine um gad sad would agree montreal galaxy uh mike burt but you know i it was just interesting

00:30:31.700 wait let me let me go to marcella first and get her take because if you guys could have seen us

00:30:35.700 behind the scenes where marcella's going like like her head's exploding i'm like laughing i'm

00:30:41.340 like oh my god it is so crazy different now let me let me get marcella and i'll come back to y'all

00:30:46.240 and go ahead i think you know i i'm surprised i didn't get banned by scott at that time i probably

00:30:54.360 was like you're wrong um but i knew better not to say that because i get banned but i want to say

00:30:59.760 the venn diagrams kamala harris would be so happy that he showed a venn diagram um i will not debate

00:31:08.460 the ideas the the specific facts that scott talks about because to me um arguably he's wrong and we

00:31:16.840 can go into like the details and but since facts don't matter i won't go into that um as scott

00:31:23.440 would have said i think the the idea of what he was talking about works out in regards to new york

00:31:31.780 and what we're seeing in new york city happen what i think he would say about new york city kind of

00:31:37.160 like he said about the uk and canada is that new york city is a free rider they are able to do and

00:31:44.940 vote and have the little coffee and take their little breaks, read, you know, read about socialism

00:31:53.560 and what, you know, utopia would look like because they're able to afford it because everybody else

00:32:00.080 is working hard for them, kind of like the UK and Canada. He was saying about the U.S. having a huge

00:32:05.620 military and then they're able to do this. I'm thinking it's the same as New York City. You can

00:32:14.560 extrapolate that idea from there of what that would look like. But in regards to where we are

00:32:21.020 now as a nation, I don't see ourselves in the capitalist diagram side of what was it on the

00:32:27.500 right side. I see ourselves more inside where he put the UK and Canada. And we're devolving

00:32:34.800 towards another side. And I think he's right about the title, fake debate. I don't think

00:32:43.000 there's a debate i think that i think you know there's bubbles there's like this is the right

00:32:50.020 thing and they can't people can't see the other way the other way but what i argue is reality

00:32:56.700 reality is what equates who actually wins in the court of nature or whatever you want to call it

00:33:06.000 the court of life um if if you look at germany and what you know east and west and if you look

00:33:15.360 at haiti and the dominican republic very different type of outcomes um anytime you have 0.74

00:33:23.920 this type of you know when it evolves into social however he is right

00:33:28.560 they just because you have free health care doesn't mean that you are in a socialist dictatorship

00:33:37.640 right right but but it starts somewhere and sometimes it doesn't start with a military

00:33:46.200 coop sometimes it starts with an idea like Karl Marx had back in the day so well all right so

00:33:55.660 So there's much more to say about this during this show, but I want to get to a couple of clips. So what what we need to know is there were some elections yesterday and the the new Democrats, which is the Democrat Socialists of America, the DSA, you'll hear referenced, did very well.

00:34:15.800 They did very well. And this means like the Chuck Schumer class, you know, who really got too woke, like they didn't stand up against the AOCs in the beginning. 0.52

00:34:27.820 So they lost the plot. They're doing very bad.

00:34:32.800 So there's a big problem with the Democrats now because you're now if you're like a moderate Democrat, which there aren't that many of.

00:34:39.160 But if you're a moderate Democrat now, you have a decision to make and you have to decide, like, do I want socialism and communism or do I need to get off this bus?

00:34:50.500 And I think you need to get off the bus. So here's someone Scott liked to hear from Van Jones.

00:34:55.200 I personally can't stand him, but let's have a Van Jones moment about what happened last night.

00:35:01.440 Well, New York City matters because the two most exciting left-wing candidates are here, AOC and Mamdani.

00:35:09.620 But also, this is the stronghold for the establishment, Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.

00:35:14.120 This is a battle between the establishment and this insurgency.

00:35:19.160 And the roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment tonight.

00:35:23.580 If Mamdani gets a hat trick, three out of three, this is a new era for the Democratic Party.

00:35:29.880 And you can't write off New York City because this is the place where both it's a power center for the establishment and the insurgency.

00:35:38.420 And they're going head to head tonight. And right now, this is not no longer a movement.

00:35:43.200 This is a movement and a machine at the same time. And there's just no way to sugarcoat this.

00:35:49.060 If Mamdani pulls off the hat trick is a new era in Democratic Party politics.

00:35:53.460 Well, and if you're a moderate Democrat who's on the election, who's on the ballot this November, Van, I mean, they're all going to get asked about the positions that we're hearing from from these other fellow Democrats.

00:36:05.400 Well, look, I think, you know, from our front line, Democrats will be able to make their case for themselves.

00:36:10.140 I think they'll be able to do OK. We got a lot of national security Democrats in other parts of the country.

00:36:14.600 But this is a this is a big deal tonight. And I think that, look, I don't know.

00:36:19.860 I don't know what you what you want me to say here. It is a straight up battle between the establishment and the insurgency and the establishment is getting its butt kicked tonight in New York City. 0.97

00:36:31.680 Yeah, that's pretty scary. So before we even get into that, did he get the hat trick?

00:36:36.900 Let's hear from this is from Harry Enten. Let's listen to Harry Enten.

00:36:43.400 This is another good one. And then we'll we'll come talk about it.

00:36:45.720 Well, among Democrats themselves, the Democratic Socialists of America have a higher net favor

00:36:52.280 than the Democratic Party does, at least those who are members of Congress.

00:36:55.880 I mean, just take a look here.

00:36:57.320 Dem Socialists of America, plus 17 points.

00:37:00.040 Democrats in Congress, plus four points.

00:37:02.020 No wonder that Dem Socialists are getting nominated across the political map in different

00:37:06.900 primaries because, simply put, they are more popular than the Democrats currently in charge.

00:37:11.100 Okay, I'm just thinking back to when I was sitting here and Zora Mamdani was sitting

00:37:14.280 there when he was running and i asked him about capitalism yes and he had no problem saying that

00:37:20.100 he had real issues with it okay he wasn't afraid to say it by the way he ended up winning it didn't

00:37:24.680 hurt him how do democrats today view socialism compared to capitalism there's a reason why it

00:37:31.280 didn't hurt him and that is simply because this is one of the biggest political changes i've seen

00:37:34.960 during my lifetime match up socialism capitalism among democrats you go back 16 years ago 2010

00:37:42.000 Capitalism and socialism right there, favorable rating, 51%, 50%.

00:37:45.800 Look at it now.

00:37:47.060 Socialism clearly in the lead among Democrats.

00:37:49.980 66% of them view socialism favorably, just 42% view capitalism favorably.

00:37:54.800 No wonder Mamdani had no problem blasting it.

00:37:56.740 Which is fascinating because when you look at races coming up in New York, 0.86

00:37:59.500 you've got a big one up in the Bronx,

00:38:01.920 and you've got Zora Mamdani endorsing a Democratic socialist.

00:38:05.780 Hakeem Jeffries not going with the more traditional incumbent.

00:38:10.700 So there are two big races involving Democratic Socialists coming up in New York that Mamdani's

00:38:14.680 endorsed.

00:38:15.260 Tell us something we don't know.

00:38:16.060 I'll tell you something you don't know, and that is that the Democratic Socialists are

00:38:19.900 likely to win one of those races, the one down in Brooklyn, going to beat the Brooklyn

00:38:23.900 Borough president.

00:38:24.940 You take a look there, look at that, an 81% chance to win in Brooklyn.

00:38:28.160 And in northern Manhattan, at this point, a 52% to knock off an incumbent, Espelot.

00:38:33.300 Unbelievable.

00:38:33.920 Yes, Espelot, long time incumbent with all of the incumbents endorsing him.

00:38:38.640 All right, thank you, Harry.

00:38:40.240 All right. So you can see how it's shifting. And now people, I mean, remember, tongue twide, I said, remember back in the day you would talk about socialism? And it was kind of like almost under your breath because it was like, nobody's a socialist. Kind of like how you were like, oh, nobody would ever call somebody a Nazi and nobody would ever just accuse someone of being racist.

00:39:04.440 And now it's like, you know, pull the tablecloth out. This is where we're at. OK, so, Owen, I'm going to come to you on this one. Pretty amazing on how far the pendulum has swung for the Democrats. Where do you see this going?

00:39:20.600 well i mean i just put in grok to just understand like what are the policies these people are

00:39:26.560 actually pushing i think the medicare for all is part of it so health care is a big piece of that

00:39:32.060 but they also want some sort of green new deal with public ownership so they want you know to

00:39:37.360 take over the energy industry they want to have wealth taxes um they want to of course push unions

00:39:43.820 and labor rights and all those sorts of things they want to consider housing as a right um they

00:39:49.780 We want to have what they call criminal justice reform, which of course means, you know, defund

00:39:54.300 the police and all that sort of thing.

00:39:55.920 They want to do that. 1.00

00:39:57.120 One woman wants all the jails closed and all the murderers released. 1.00

00:40:00.880 Yeah.

00:40:02.080 And so it's pretty crazy, pretty radical positions, I would say.

00:40:05.820 And of course, they're, you know, pro-Palestine, anti-Israel, you know, all these.

00:40:09.940 So it's a crazy set of positions that is pushing the Democrats in a radical direction, I think.

00:40:16.160 my hope is that it just means they'll lose more elections and you know they said in this

00:40:20.780 particular case they might win some of them in New York and I don't doubt that because I think

00:40:24.900 they you know it's a democrat state and they're going to elect whoever has a d next to their name

00:40:29.820 and they're not necessarily going to know what policies they're pushing until it's too late

00:40:33.940 just like we've seen in California and Chicago other places where they elect these people that

00:40:39.900 are pretty radical and then they suffer and unfortunately it seems like even after they're

00:40:45.600 suffering. They don't even really realize that that was because they'd elected a Democrat and

00:40:50.020 they, you know, just blindly follow that sort of party thing. Of course, in some cases, maybe it's

00:40:56.120 not even that they elected them. It's that, you know, the votes were counted a certain way,

00:41:00.200 but that's another issue. And, um, you know, I, I, I think it's a negative trend all around.

00:41:06.060 I think we need to fight this every step of the way. And I think, um, I don't think we should

00:41:11.840 just like seed ground and say, Oh, let them suffer because I don't think it's really going

00:41:15.860 to fix anything. I think it's going to make things worse. And, um, so I think we should

00:41:20.880 fight it every step of the way and, and try and defeat as many of these candidates as possible

00:41:25.300 and just point out the radical nature of what they're proposing, where they're basically saying

00:41:29.720 we want to take away, you know, we want to be able to just take your money if you make money

00:41:33.540 and we want to be able to open the borders and we want to have all these, you know, union and

00:41:38.360 labor rights things that basically take all the profits away from companies. And it's going to

00:41:42.900 make life worse for everyone. And I don't think it's a black and white thing. I'm not trying to 0.95

00:41:46.800 say it's like, oh, we're all of a sudden going to have a dictator type of thing. I'm not making that

00:41:50.420 case like Scott was pointing out. I'm just saying it's going to get worse. It's going to be worse

00:41:55.560 than we are today. Marcella, just because I want to get through these clips, I would like to play

00:42:01.320 the next clip and then have you react to it. And this will give you a little bit more of an

00:42:06.680 explanation about the democrat socialists of america um let's just take a look and then

00:42:12.320 marcella i'll come to you right after after mom donnie's win dsa is moving to expand its political

00:42:20.260 influence across america we knew that they were not just victories for one elected office they

00:42:25.440 were victories of a movement 10 politicians are now running for office in new york on the

00:42:29.520 democratic socialists of america slate including two candidates for congress we're going to make

00:42:34.720 sure that we are undeniable as a force in not only New York politics but

00:42:40.780 politics across the entire country. All DSA candidates follow the same pipeline.

00:42:45.160 They start with campus radicalism, then move to street organizing, then they run

00:42:49.480 for office backed by the DSA machine. New York City DSA built built from the

00:42:54.520 ground up. They built a whole political machine. We need to turn DSA into a

00:42:58.960 factory moving from outside agitators to people with real power step one campus radicalism like

00:43:06.080 mamdani several candidates began their radicalization through campus activism groups

00:43:10.800 like students for justice in palestine or sjp founded around the idea of inciting a violent

00:43:16.480 uprising in america step two street organizing after college these candidates took to the streets

00:43:28.960 organizing protests connected to the Black Lives Matter riots,

00:43:32.720 pro-Hamas rallies, and extremist labor unions.

00:43:35.840 Many DSA prospects have been repeatedly arrested for trespassing on private property

00:43:40.320 and traffic blockades staged for arrest.

00:43:42.400 We're getting arrested organizing the people I've organized with for over a decade.

00:43:46.240 We just occupied Hochul's office.

00:43:48.240 Radical activism is the gateway to DSA backing.

00:43:51.840 And now we're coming into power, we're coming into politics.

00:43:54.480 Once identified, radical organizers are recruited by DSA,

00:43:58.560 where they are groomed, trained, endorsed, and handed the resources they need to enter politics.

00:44:04.000 A friend of mine who I'd grown close to over the course of our organizing

00:44:08.080 asked me to run for state assembly. It was at a Queen's DSA electoral working group meeting.

00:44:14.160 Julia was recruited. I had the pleasure of being recruited to run for office.

00:44:20.640 So I joined DSA actually because I was recruited to run for this position.

00:44:24.400 I like got recruited by DSA.

00:44:26.160 The Democratic Socialist machine comes at a price.

00:44:29.640 Once a candidate earns DSA's endorsement,

00:44:31.900 their loyalty is not to the voters or the Democratic Party, only to DSA.

00:44:36.380 Every component of our campaign is being run as a shared project of our Broward DSA

00:44:42.240 and of the larger Democratic Socialists of America.

00:44:45.340 This is who I'm accountable to, to our members,

00:44:47.460 not just here in South Florida, but 100,000 members plus nationwide.

00:44:51.460 We must make sure that they remember they are a member of this organization and this organization stands with them.

00:44:58.180 We made you happen and we can, you know, if you do break with us enough, we can withhold that.

00:45:03.100 This is the pipeline.

00:45:04.880 DSA handpicks street agitators, turns them into political candidates and backs them into office where they can be controlled to push DSA's extremist agenda.

00:45:14.620 As an organizer, I tell people to organize me.

00:45:16.640 We bring in a movement with us.

00:45:18.100 This is about a movement.

00:45:19.620 DSA politicians are not Democrats.

00:45:22.480 They are part of a machine built to subvert American democracy.

00:45:26.700 Learn more about DSA's plans to overthrow America at canarymission.org.

00:45:36.320 Pretty frightening.

00:45:37.680 Like I've been telling you, it's all organized, systematic, planned, and they are here for

00:45:43.100 the long game.

00:45:44.320 I do want you to know that two of the people featured, Samantha Katton and Eber Cowess, both won yesterday in their Democrat primaries.

00:45:59.380 And Samantha Katton in Queens, she got 66.8 percent.

00:46:07.700 And Eber in the New York State Senate, District 12 in Queens, 60 percent.

00:46:12.380 Um, so, and, and these are all anti-Semitic people, um, Islam, the whole kit and caboodle.

00:46:21.880 So again, um, it all kind of just intertwines about this takeover.

00:46:26.960 Okay.

00:46:27.240 Marcella, that was pretty horrifying, wasn't it?

00:46:31.600 Yeah, but I wanted to talk about, um, the fact that they are doing this, the fact that

00:46:38.740 they're growing this much when I see it and I actually know people that are part of DSA

00:46:44.740 and it's brainwashing but it's so it's so well done yeah it's very persuasive and I have to say

00:46:58.440 that they make these individuals who are usually very young college either in college or right

00:47:05.340 after mostly right after college where you know their degree in our our degree is not panning out

00:47:14.780 they're not getting any jobs they have to pay their loans whatsoever then they come into this

00:47:20.940 point in their life that it's like oh nothing turned out i'm nothing you know and then there's

00:47:26.780 this organization telling you hey you're one of us you can become something we'll recruit you

00:47:34.220 we'll put you in office and and you know you'll do a you make a difference when when you are part

00:47:41.580 of these groups they're not saying we're going to take over the means of production like a Karl

00:47:49.340 Marx would say they're trying they're telling them we're fighting the ridge we're fighting for

00:47:55.020 fairness we're fighting to for equality and justice and all the emotional branding stuff

00:48:02.140 that you would get and it is appealing when you have nothing in your life going on for you you

00:48:09.100 remember we're in a we're in a world now where post covet we're in a world where

00:48:15.500 um people are the most lonely they've ever been um they are most most of them are not in a

00:48:23.740 relationship they're not in um they don't have children they don't have a significant other so

00:48:31.260 they see this as a family as kind of like where they go to to feel like you know so it's it's

00:48:40.140 like a gang culture yes but but but it's even worse than that because they they they they

00:48:49.340 think they're doing good for the world you know so they have this idea but what i what i would

00:48:55.900 suggest is who is behind the essay because it when i looked at what you showed me right now

00:49:05.260 it reminded me it didn't come to me until you showed this video erica is that you reminded me

00:49:11.420 of latin america whenever el salvador was having the civil war with the guerrillas in and the

00:49:19.100 the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, and then you have Chile where Allende took over and then Pinochet

00:49:28.800 came in. But it reminded me of what the CIA did or may have done allegedly in these countries in

00:49:41.120 order to destabilize the country. So this is kind of, I'm not saying is the CIA doing this,

00:49:46.440 But it seems like it's the same play being done to the United States.

00:49:51.680 It reminds me of how Obama got recruited. 0.57

00:49:56.940 And just I don't want to divert onto this, but I didn't know this till yesterday that at his presidential library opening in the third row was Bill Ayers and Dorn, terrorists from the.

00:50:12.960 What are they called? The Weather Underground.

00:50:15.060 They were there in the third row.

00:50:16.440 sitting behind him um literal terrorists who are his best friends um so that's what it reminds me

00:50:23.240 of and especially when they use so many of them said i was recruited i was recruited um owen again

00:50:29.320 because of clips i just want to i want you to hear what a moderate democrat sounds like talking to

00:50:35.960 this is tyler cohen he's a progressive youtuber sitting with bill maher at club random just

00:50:41.960 really quick. And then, Owen, if you could react to this. New York is New York. It's definitely

00:50:47.700 it's the media capital, the financial capital. It is a bellwether like no other city is in this

00:50:54.160 country. So don't tell me that who the mayor of New York is doesn't matter. Let me play devil's

00:51:01.180 advocate for a second. Do you think, let's say, you know, on the seize the means of production,

00:51:06.140 do you think the mayor, that one person, if he is a democratic socialist, do you think that he

00:51:10.620 would have the power and influence to be able to like usher in socialism definitely as the power

00:51:17.820 and influence to elect jd vance or whoever is the republican candidate next time it is a walking

00:51:24.540 commercial for the republican party when you let the democrats socialists and now they're actually

00:51:31.620 calling themselves when you let them take over a major american city this is what you get the

00:51:38.000 State-run grocery stores, which work so well in Cuba and the Soviet Union and Venezuela.

00:51:43.300 Just bad ideas.

00:51:44.640 And, again, this ugly streak.

00:51:47.240 Ugly streak of anti-Semitism.

00:51:49.820 Who's the most popular politician on the left?

00:51:52.960 AOC?

00:51:54.020 I don't know.

00:51:54.280 One of.

00:51:54.720 But who's, you know, Bernie is, Bernie is, I mean, he's not a capitalist, you know?

00:52:02.080 No, he's not.

00:52:02.760 And he's also not president.

00:52:04.180 He's not.

00:52:04.980 And never would be. 0.99

00:52:05.840 But neither is Mamdani.

00:52:08.000 No, but he will, trust me, he will be featured in the campaign commercials.

00:52:12.420 But they're going to feature people.

00:52:13.220 They boogeyman everybody.

00:52:14.720 Yeah, but you don't have to boogeyman him.

00:52:17.140 He does it to himself.

00:52:18.640 But they'll do it regardless.

00:52:20.560 Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, Gavin Newsom.

00:52:22.920 Yeah, but... 0.99

00:52:23.480 They make anybody into boogeyman.

00:52:25.640 I think it was...

00:52:26.580 Just have more weight when it's real.

00:52:28.740 I mean, when you can really show it.

00:52:32.480 Mm-hmm.

00:52:32.960 All right, Owen, your reaction?

00:52:34.300 in? Well, again, I think my hope is that it would keep some of these people out of power in higher

00:52:41.820 offices, and I hope that part comes true. I would rather just see them get defeated locally as well

00:52:48.380 because I think, again, the people that are going to be under their control in whatever power and

00:52:52.520 influence they have will be suffering because of it. They will think they're getting something

00:52:56.640 better and they'll end up getting something worse. And that's been a pattern that I think is true

00:53:01.760 pretty universally, in my opinion, where people will say, oh, I'm going to help you with housing

00:53:06.080 costs. And it doesn't really help with housing costs. And if anything, it makes it harder to

00:53:09.860 get affordable housing. And the grocery stores is another obvious example where it's like,

00:53:14.520 this is an industry that has very thin profit margins as it is. And so for a government to

00:53:20.060 think that somehow they're just raking in the profits, it just shows that they have no

00:53:24.160 understanding of how these businesses work. And they are going after some of these more radical

00:53:29.660 things like we want to have wealth taxes and we want to you know basically redistribute wealth

00:53:33.880 from whoever has the money to whoever doesn't and they're trying to you know support things like

00:53:40.160 open borders and illegal immigrants and they don't care about the citizens of where they are

00:53:45.180 you know supposedly representing those people and uh you know they just have their own agenda

00:53:51.560 and they're trying to push that agenda and it is not in concert with what most people really want

00:53:57.780 but they try and make it sound like they're going to help you just to get elected. And again,

00:54:01.760 we've seen some of the more radical Democrats like Spanberger and the other ones where they

00:54:05.420 get elected and then they do something completely different than what they promised. And they don't

00:54:08.960 mind lying. I don't know if it is Takiyah or whatever, but they certainly don't mind saying,

00:54:14.980 I'm going to do all these things to help you. And then they turn around and do something completely

00:54:17.600 different after they get in office. And I'm sure we would see the same thing here where they would

00:54:22.440 suddenly say, well, I'm running to help you get affordable housing and better healthcare and all

00:54:26.900 other things. And then what actually happens is they want to open the borders. They want to take

00:54:31.460 away all the police. They want to release all the criminals. And, you know, it has nothing to do

00:54:36.440 with whatever they promised to begin with and they don't care. And now you have people like

00:54:40.500 Plantner in Maine and you've got Tallarico in Texas. I mean, these aren't even really people

00:54:46.540 like who, like who, what are these people? You know, we're just, we're just going to flood in

00:54:53.520 all of these, I don't even know what to call them puppets, um, that are not worthy of being

00:55:00.780 representatives of we, the people. Um, and we see that slipping more and more that anyone's

00:55:08.520 representing America and our constitution. It's like, it, it's like, you know, I just feel like

00:55:13.520 our fingernails are grasping on and like, how long can we keep holding on? I mean, hopefully forever

00:55:18.540 and that we can pull ourselves back up. I just, oh, you know what, Marcel, we're like, so we're

00:55:24.580 running out of time. You guys, there was so much to talk about today. We need another hour. I know

00:55:29.660 we really do. And I hope you guys were enjoying the show today just to get heavy on the topic of

00:55:36.360 socialism. And if you are enjoying the show, please give us a thumbs up, a like, share the

00:55:40.380 show, tell your friends. Um, but you know, it, it's like, I need to see more action. I feel like

00:55:48.620 I want to see more action against what's happening to our country. It's not fast enough for me. It's

00:55:55.140 not plain in plain sight enough for me, but I know there was a ruling and I don't want to put

00:56:01.720 you on the spot and I can't remember exactly what it was, but it was about deporting. Um,

00:56:06.880 oh you know what we're gonna do it tomorrow it was it was about the party and asylum seekers

00:56:14.100 um there was a stay a block on it from um 2025 on deporting asylum seekers uh deporting them

00:56:26.640 um within you had to do it within a hundred um something close to the border you couldn't do it

00:56:35.820 anywhere else in the last two years of, uh, their stay.

00:56:41.700 And, uh, there was a decision by the DC circuit, uh, that allowed the, that

00:56:50.400 allowed the basically unblock the block and now allows the HS to deport anybody

00:56:58.660 in anywhere in the nation who has lived, uh, in the last two years here, who,

00:57:05.260 who does not, who should be deported. It, they don't have to find them near the border, basically.

00:57:13.000 Now, the next thing that could occur in this case is that under the DC circuit panel,

00:57:19.220 usually a panel has three judges. And so what these, because it's one of those

00:57:27.220 um, ACLU kind of, uh, was, was, uh, doing the, the litigation, but it's, it's called make the

00:57:35.820 road, New York again, New York, um, was going against DHS and they can ask the make the road,

00:57:43.780 New York, the plaintiffs can ask the DC circuit to hear the case in bank, which means that they

00:57:52.740 are asking all the judges to hear it all at once and see if they agree now they can do that and

00:58:00.500 then the other thing would go and ask for the supreme court sitiora and ask them whether they

00:58:08.660 can get an emergency stay on this or redo the stay redo the block but because we know that there's

00:58:16.740 that six to three you supreme court kind of leans to thank goodness it leans to the right

00:58:24.500 i'm guessing they're gonna ask for an end bank decision uh to look at it again but anyways um

00:58:32.100 the two years the question was also that was given to me in regards to this question is okay in 2025

00:58:38.660 this judge blocked uh the trump administration um from doing this um so that can we go back to

00:58:51.760 that year for the two-year start time for how long they can be here um and the answer is no

00:58:59.360 so they're there uh maybe i should we should do a separate video i know right so it's it's a lot

00:59:05.280 but thanks sandy candy for bringing that to my attention um tomorrow you guys we have brandon

00:59:10.240 darby on and this whole week kind of has a um unintentional theme you're going to learn all

00:59:16.800 about him tomorrow it's going to be another very interesting conversation here at the scott adams

00:59:21.280 school um i'm going to go over just to play this one little clip from elon because i feel like we

00:59:26.000 need like a little moment so let's just listen to this quickly it's an oldie but a goodie

00:59:29.920 yeah sure

00:59:31.000 there are a lot of

00:59:35.700 negative things in the world

00:59:37.260 there's a lot of terrible things that are happening

00:59:38.780 all over the world

00:59:40.120 all the time

00:59:42.000 there are lots of problems

00:59:45.320 that need to get solved

00:59:46.160 there's lots of things that are

00:59:49.020 miserable and kind of get you down

00:59:50.820 but that life cannot

00:59:53.440 just be about solving

00:59:55.040 one miserable problem after another

00:59:56.880 that can't be the only thing

00:59:58.220 they need to be things that inspire you that make you glad to be to wake up in the morning

01:00:04.860 and be part of humanity that's why we did this

01:00:12.940 this guy called tsiolkovsky one of the early russian rocket scientists the great saying

01:00:19.420 earth is the cradle of humanity but you cannot stay in the cradle forever

01:00:23.100 It is time to go forth, become a star-faring civilization, be out there among the stars, expand the scope and scale of human consciousness.

01:00:36.700 I find that incredibly exciting.

01:00:40.260 That makes me glad to be alive.

01:00:43.500 I hope you feel the same way.

01:00:45.340 i couldn't leave you guys on anything negative and elon makes me glad to be alive too and so

01:00:53.300 do all of you so you guys let's do a um a closing sip and a final uh goodbye for the day we'll be

01:01:02.640 back tomorrow with brandon darby owen and marcella thank you so much for a great show today and for

01:01:08.080 everybody who showed up um we'd like to thank uh shelly and scott for allowing the show to continue

01:01:13.580 I think the show is great. I really do. I look forward to it every day. I'm so happy to have

01:01:20.740 my two co-hosts with me today. We're all reunited. And let's have a closing sip to Scott. And if

01:01:30.260 anyone wants to stay for a little Akira tune, we'll do it. Owen had a meeting. Okay. To Scott,

01:01:35.700 guys stay for a cure if you want stay positive stay positive you guys

01:01:44.260 we're gonna do this narcissism thing ready

01:01:53.220 little extra

01:01:56.500 two epidemics that are interacting with each other one is the loneliness and the other is narcissism

01:02:03.780 I believe narcissism has gone from something that people had and you could stay away from them

01:02:10.980 to something closer to an epidemic and I think social media has done that. What I've learned

01:02:16.820 about this narcissism thing is I used to think it was people who thought they were great. I used

01:02:24.100 to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing. It's not about people

01:02:28.980 It's about people who have broken self-esteem, and the way that they deal with their broken self-esteem is by belittling other people, one-upping them, bragging, putting them down, shutting them down, thwarting them in any way you can.

01:02:47.540 Now, I used to look at those people because they're everywhere, but man, are there more of them?

01:02:58.160 There are, right?

01:02:59.240 And I think it's because people who might have been sort of on the border of being that way just got pushed over the edge by social media.

01:03:07.200 I used to think it was people who thought they were great, thought they were great, thought they were great.

01:03:11.180 I used to think it was people who thought they were great, this narcissism thing.

01:03:14.920 It's not about people thinking they're great, thinking they're great.

01:03:18.340 It's about people who have broken self-esteem, just completely broken.

01:03:23.140 Imagine living in a world where everybody is criticizing everybody for everything.

01:03:30.800 That's our world.

01:03:32.820 We live in a world where everybody's criticizing everybody for everything.

01:03:38.700 Imagine that.

01:03:39.500 How would you like to be a teenager and be criticized on everything?

01:03:46.440 The shirt you wore that one day, the embarrassing thing you did just once, but somebody saw it.

01:03:54.800 You're not as pretty or as handsome or as strong or as good as sports as this other person.

01:04:01.720 It's gotta be devastating.

01:04:09.500 and there's just more of it because it's in your face you're seeing the impossible images

01:04:16.520 the people who you want to be like but you're not etc i used to think it was people who thought

01:04:27.400 they were great thought they were great i used to think it was people who thought they were great

01:04:31.940 this narcissistic thing it's not about people thinking they're great that can be great it's

01:04:37.320 It's about people who have broken self esteem.

01:04:41.320 I used to think there was people who thought they were great.

01:04:45.320 I used to think it was people who thought they were great.

01:04:49.320 It's not about people thinking they're great.

01:04:52.320 It's about people who have broken self esteem.

01:04:56.320 Just completely broken.

01:05:07.320 yes that was awesome i wanted that one to keep going uh all right well you guys it's time to

01:05:33.400 get going with our day um do all the things remember what elon said and um let's let's see
