Experience. Train by day, Joe Rogan Podcast by

00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:14.369
night, all day. But if you want to sort of see

00:00:14.369 --> 00:00:17.390
like a vision of the future, it's like basically

00:00:17.390 --> 00:00:20.589
like the top 20 and even the top 100 is like

00:00:20.589 --> 00:00:23.429
totally dominated by China. Really? Yeah, this

00:00:23.429 --> 00:00:25.670
is like China and a little bit of Korea and Taiwan.

00:00:25.890 --> 00:00:28.230
So are you in the top 20 in the world? Yeah.

00:00:28.489 --> 00:00:32.039
Wow, in Diablo. Yeah, yeah. Do you want to tell

00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:34.579
everybody your handle? No, no, don't tell them.

00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.119
Don't tell them. It's not worth it. Well, they

00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:39.840
actually listed me with my actual name in the

00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:46.049
list. Oh, did they really? Oh, interesting. Yeah,

00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:47.530
there's only there's only two Americans in the

00:00:47.530 --> 00:00:50.509
top 20 the rest almost everyone that is a from

00:00:50.509 --> 00:00:52.570
Asia Otherwise we were talking about something

00:00:52.570 --> 00:00:54.490
that I think is a really good because people

00:00:54.490 --> 00:00:56.549
always think that video games are frivolous But

00:00:56.549 --> 00:00:58.350
what you were saying I think that's really important

00:00:58.350 --> 00:01:01.149
is it It's so difficult that it requires you

00:01:01.149 --> 00:01:03.890
to only think about that and it can like relieve

00:01:03.890 --> 00:01:06.790
stress Yeah, it can take out the rest of the

00:01:06.790 --> 00:01:08.950
world because it's so hard. Yeah, you can only

00:01:08.950 --> 00:01:11.689
think about that Yeah. I mean, if I play a video

00:01:11.689 --> 00:01:14.489
game on extreme difficulty, then I have to concentrate

00:01:14.489 --> 00:01:18.549
fully on the game. And it has a calming effect.

00:01:18.769 --> 00:01:23.569
Yeah. It sort of chills down. And, I mean, you

00:01:23.569 --> 00:01:25.269
mentioned, I think, many people are like, if

00:01:25.269 --> 00:01:27.709
you play martial arts or you play pool, like

00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:29.650
something that forces you. It's like I think

00:01:29.650 --> 00:01:32.530
anything that forces you to concentrate fully

00:01:32.530 --> 00:01:36.769
actually has a calming effect. I find it just

00:01:36.769 --> 00:01:42.420
sort of like. Kind of a restoring effect. Yeah.

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:45.439
It's good. Jiu -jitsu is like that. Archery is

00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.340
like that as well. Like when you're shooting

00:01:47.340 --> 00:01:51.040
a bow, there's so many moving things, and you

00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:54.319
have to think only of it, and it cleans the mind.

00:01:54.379 --> 00:01:56.420
It cleans the mind, yeah, exactly. I was reading

00:01:56.420 --> 00:01:59.739
this study about surgeons where they found that

00:01:59.739 --> 00:02:02.299
surgeons who regularly play video games make

00:02:02.299 --> 00:02:05.680
less errors. Well, video games require manual

00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.479
dexterity, so it makes sense. Completely makes

00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:11.219
sense. Actually, if somebody was epic at video

00:02:11.219 --> 00:02:13.800
games, I'd say their surgical skill is going

00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:15.300
to be very good, because in order to be good

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.580
at video games, any kind of fast reaction video

00:02:17.580 --> 00:02:21.259
games— Look at this. 32 % fewer errors, 24 %

00:02:21.259 --> 00:02:25.919
faster, and scored 26 % better overall than their

00:02:25.919 --> 00:02:27.900
non -player colleagues. Oh, I believe that for

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:31.460
sure. Like that, you should be required in medical

00:02:31.460 --> 00:02:33.819
school to play video games. Don't you think?

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:36.280
If somebody's like a top -ranked video game player

00:02:36.280 --> 00:02:38.180
and they say they're a surgeon, I'd be like plus

00:02:38.180 --> 00:02:40.680
one, plus two type of thing. Oh, top -ranked

00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.539
for sure. But this isn't even top -ranked. This

00:02:42.539 --> 00:02:45.819
is just people who play. Well, your manual dexterity

00:02:45.819 --> 00:02:47.719
has to be extremely high. So you're looking at

00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:49.759
things on a screen. You're reacting and sometimes

00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:51.840
you've got like 10 milliseconds to react. Yes.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:56.400
And so if somebody's got incredible reaction

00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:58.180
times and manual dexterity. they're obviously

00:02:58.180 --> 00:03:00.520
going to be a good surgeon. Imagine if there

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:02.479
was a course that you could take. That course

00:03:02.479 --> 00:03:05.840
would promote, you would be 26 % better. Yeah.

00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:08.139
Everyone would have to take that course. Sure.

00:03:08.599 --> 00:03:10.479
Why would you want a surgeon that's less prepared?

00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:12.879
You would say, hey, Bob, did you take this course?

00:03:12.939 --> 00:03:14.500
You didn't take this course. Don't you understand

00:03:14.500 --> 00:03:17.120
this course makes you 26 % better? Sure. You

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.840
would have to take it. Everyone should have to

00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:20.599
play video games if you want to be a surgeon.

00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:22.840
Well, I think it certainly would be a very good

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:25.240
test to see if somebody can't play video games

00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:27.650
well. That means... Because you've got to move

00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:29.629
both hands simultaneously. You've got to react

00:03:29.629 --> 00:03:34.930
to something very fast on the screen. And if

00:03:34.930 --> 00:03:36.889
your keystrokes or your mouse clicks or whatever

00:03:36.889 --> 00:03:41.409
are wrong, then you lose the game. So if somebody

00:03:41.409 --> 00:03:43.930
has a good rank in video games, I would say that

00:03:43.930 --> 00:03:46.889
they're manual. necessarily their manual dexterity

00:03:46.889 --> 00:03:49.110
must be extremely good. Well, it's so hard. Their

00:03:49.110 --> 00:03:50.550
fine motor skills have to be excellent. If you

00:03:50.550 --> 00:03:53.550
think about StarCraft or any game like Quake,

00:03:53.590 --> 00:03:55.830
any game where a lot of people are playing, to

00:03:55.830 --> 00:03:57.310
rise to the top, you have to be exceptional,

00:03:57.550 --> 00:03:59.849
period, as a human being. There has to be something

00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:03.620
exceptional about you. Yeah. Actually, way back

00:04:03.620 --> 00:04:05.280
in the day, I was one of the world's best Quake

00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.460
players. I know. We talked about this. Yeah,

00:04:07.460 --> 00:04:10.740
yeah. I loved Quake. Yeah, yeah. In my final

00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.340
semester in college, I probably put more time

00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:14.479
to Quake than all my college classes. When I

00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:17.660
was on news radio, all of the writers were super

00:04:17.660 --> 00:04:20.480
nerds. They were very, very fun guys. And they

00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:23.060
had a LAN set up at the studio where they all

00:04:23.060 --> 00:04:24.699
played Quake. I had never played video games.

00:04:24.779 --> 00:04:26.680
And I would go in with the writers and just kind

00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:28.620
of hang out with them. We'd get silly. And then

00:04:28.620 --> 00:04:31.060
we would all start playing video games. playing

00:04:31.060 --> 00:04:33.160
Quake against each other, and I got addicted,

00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:36.180
like hardcore. I got a T1 line installed in my

00:04:36.180 --> 00:04:39.100
house. I went hardcore. Yeah, exactly. You're

00:04:39.100 --> 00:04:40.660
checking how many milliseconds of latency you

00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:43.720
have. Oh, yeah. I was fully addicted. I was making

00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:47.220
my own computers. I was going to Fry's Hardware

00:04:47.220 --> 00:04:49.279
and buying motherboards and putting everything

00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:53.500
together. It was too much of a time suck, though.

00:04:53.819 --> 00:04:56.079
I'm an obsessive person. I can't get involved.

00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:59.769
I can't play golf. No, golf is too slow for me.

00:04:59.850 --> 00:05:01.649
I mean, a lot of people find golf good. I mean,

00:05:01.670 --> 00:05:03.370
I guess if you think of it like it's – I guess

00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:05.589
if you're – Saying you're going to walk outdoors

00:05:05.589 --> 00:05:09.610
with friends and occasionally hit a ball as an

00:05:09.610 --> 00:05:12.889
outdoor walk, then that's cool. And does require

00:05:12.889 --> 00:05:14.329
concentration when you're hitting the ball, but

00:05:14.329 --> 00:05:18.750
it's too slow for me. Nothing compares to video

00:05:18.750 --> 00:05:20.750
games in terms of the amount of feedback you

00:05:20.750 --> 00:05:25.069
get. The sensory overload you get when you're

00:05:25.069 --> 00:05:27.209
looking at a large, high -resolution screen.

00:05:27.290 --> 00:05:29.490
You have a fast computer. You have headphones

00:05:29.490 --> 00:05:32.470
on. You're hearing sounds from here and sounds

00:05:32.470 --> 00:05:36.550
behind you. Rockets are flying by you. There's

00:05:36.550 --> 00:05:39.689
nothing like that. But I think golf still is

00:05:39.689 --> 00:05:41.389
like, Jamie will tell you, Jamie's an addict.

00:05:41.569 --> 00:05:45.350
He's a golf nut. It's super addictive. And it

00:05:45.350 --> 00:05:49.410
takes like eight hours a day. Yes. Once you get

00:05:49.410 --> 00:05:51.730
into golf, I think I guess any sport, it gets

00:05:51.730 --> 00:05:57.470
super addictive. But for me, the intensity of

00:05:57.470 --> 00:06:02.449
video games is hard to beat. Yes. People dismiss

00:06:02.449 --> 00:06:04.490
it because they think it's just a waste of time.

00:06:04.589 --> 00:06:06.769
But we're showing real -world benefits of people

00:06:06.769 --> 00:06:09.170
playing video games. If you want to be a drone

00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:11.149
operator, it's the only game in town. Yeah, absolutely.

00:06:11.149 --> 00:06:13.050
You have to be really good at video games. Yeah,

00:06:13.050 --> 00:06:18.689
for sure. In fact, I can actually tell what my

00:06:18.689 --> 00:06:22.810
mental acuity is if I play a very hard video

00:06:22.810 --> 00:06:26.670
game. So if I'm trying to get an extremely good

00:06:26.670 --> 00:06:28.949
clear time in Diablo or something like that.

00:06:30.369 --> 00:06:33.709
Or a first -person shooter, whatever the case

00:06:33.709 --> 00:06:39.509
may be. I can tell that I'm tired or my brain's

00:06:39.509 --> 00:06:41.689
not working as well as it should. It's like a

00:06:41.689 --> 00:06:43.310
mental calibration. You can tell immediately.

00:06:43.769 --> 00:06:47.470
How good is your mental state? Right, right.

00:06:51.519 --> 00:06:54.339
So if you're trying to play really well, if you

00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:55.860
play late at night and you're tired, you just

00:06:55.860 --> 00:06:58.360
play badly. Right. And you can say, okay, you

00:06:58.360 --> 00:07:01.600
may think that your brain is working well, but

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:04.040
it isn't. Yeah. You play the video game and you're

00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:05.879
like, you suck. So, OK. Yeah. You're putting

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:08.879
it under stress. Yeah. You're really stress testing

00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:11.620
it. You stress test it. And because like sometimes

00:07:11.620 --> 00:07:13.220
like, oh, I think I think I'm fine. But then

00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.060
you play the game like, OK, I'm not. I'm like

00:07:15.060 --> 00:07:17.480
10 percent below what I should be. That's how

00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.579
I feel about workouts for sure. Like that's how

00:07:19.579 --> 00:07:22.319
I knew I had COVID or I knew everyone in my family

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:25.500
had COVID. And I was trying to not get COVID.

00:07:25.620 --> 00:07:27.519
And so I was working out. I was like, something's

00:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.829
up. I felt fine normally, but then during exercise,

00:07:30.930 --> 00:07:32.209
I was like, okay, I can tell there's something

00:07:32.209 --> 00:07:36.449
wrong here. So let's back off, relax. Yeah. Yeah.

00:07:36.470 --> 00:07:38.889
It's like people who don't stress test their

00:07:38.889 --> 00:07:41.550
mind, they think they're operating on the same

00:07:41.550 --> 00:07:43.389
level all the time. Sometimes I come in here

00:07:43.389 --> 00:07:46.490
and... I can't form a fucking sentence, and I

00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:48.470
don't know what it is. It's like, what is going

00:07:48.470 --> 00:07:51.509
on? So it's just like... Maybe it's like, well,

00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:52.589
sleep wasn't that good or something like that.

00:07:52.589 --> 00:07:54.509
Yeah, something like that. Or I'm too busy, and

00:07:54.509 --> 00:07:56.509
it's just, it's not, the words aren't coming

00:07:56.509 --> 00:07:58.529
out. Like, I know how to talk. I talk professionally,

00:07:58.689 --> 00:08:01.209
and I can't fucking talk. It's like... I mean,

00:08:01.209 --> 00:08:06.509
sleep is massive. Huge! Yeah, so if I can tell

00:08:06.509 --> 00:08:08.490
me, did I get a good night's sleep or not, if

00:08:08.490 --> 00:08:11.670
I just play, like, a video game for, like, five

00:08:11.670 --> 00:08:13.660
minutes. I'm like, okay, my sleep wasn't that

00:08:13.660 --> 00:08:18.420
good. Sometimes your brain will recover through

00:08:18.420 --> 00:08:20.759
the day, and it's like, okay, an hour or two

00:08:20.759 --> 00:08:23.740
after waking up, it's better. Because your brain

00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:25.620
does kind of recover from bad nights of sleep

00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:27.740
a little bit. Do you know what really helps?

00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.379
Creatine, apparently. Does it? Yeah. Creatine

00:08:30.379 --> 00:08:32.899
is actually a nootropic, believe it or not. There's

00:08:32.899 --> 00:08:34.740
a lot of benefits of creatine that are really

00:08:34.740 --> 00:08:37.320
weird. Are there any downsides? No, no. It's

00:08:37.320 --> 00:08:39.580
a natural part of food. Yeah, yeah. Especially

00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:42.940
women. For women, apparently, especially postmenopausal

00:08:42.940 --> 00:08:47.220
women, it's very beneficial. But there's a lot

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:49.700
of cognitive benefits. And one of the big ones

00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:52.480
that they found recently is performance when

00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.000
sleep deprived. Mental performance when sleep

00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:58.080
deprived increases pretty measurably. when you

00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:00.820
supplement with creatine. Is creatine naturally

00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:03.480
occurring in steak? Yeah, it's naturally occurring

00:09:03.480 --> 00:09:06.379
in meat, I think. I think that's where it's coming

00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:09.580
from. I think it's primarily an animal -based

00:09:09.580 --> 00:09:14.419
thing. I did switch to steak and eggs for breakfast,

00:09:14.519 --> 00:09:16.559
and I found that's like a power -up. Oh, yeah.

00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:19.899
Yeah. Yeah, well, we're all overrun with carbohydrates.

00:09:20.179 --> 00:09:22.940
Yeah, yeah, totally. Carbohydrates make this

00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:25.419
big crash, the rise and the crash, the rise and

00:09:25.419 --> 00:09:28.960
the crash. You stay flat if you eat a primarily

00:09:28.960 --> 00:09:31.960
high -protein, high -fat diet. Your body runs

00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:35.620
off ketosis, essentially. I just have steak and

00:09:35.620 --> 00:09:38.720
eggs, no bread or anything. It's great. It's

00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:40.480
great, actually. It's a power -up, I'd say. People

00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.740
dismiss this whole carnivore diet thing because

00:09:42.740 --> 00:09:45.320
in our heads there's a lot of propagandists that

00:09:45.320 --> 00:09:48.700
put this thing out there that animal agriculture

00:09:48.700 --> 00:09:52.399
is the number one contributor to global warming.

00:09:52.399 --> 00:09:54.200
Yeah, it's rubbish. Bullshit. It's not true.

00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:55.700
Bullshit. It's hot bullshit. It doesn't matter.

00:09:55.799 --> 00:09:58.279
Not only is it hot bullshit, but the real problem

00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.100
is factory farming. Regenerative farming is carbon

00:10:02.100 --> 00:10:05.379
neutral if it doesn't sequester carbon. The animals

00:10:05.379 --> 00:10:06.539
are not going to make any difference to global

00:10:06.539 --> 00:10:09.519
warming. Like none. No, it's horseshit. Zero,

00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:11.159
zero, zero, zero, nothing. Do you think that

00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.200
that's just propaganda because of people that

00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.360
have a vested interest in like plant -based meat

00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:17.340
products and things along those lines, green

00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:21.500
energy? I think that's part of it. You know,

00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:23.500
you're generally going to get people pushing

00:10:23.500 --> 00:10:25.740
to avoid meat. Like some people just, you know,

00:10:25.799 --> 00:10:29.139
maybe they've got a financial interest. Maybe

00:10:29.139 --> 00:10:30.779
they're just like vegetarians or vegans or whatever.

00:10:31.559 --> 00:10:34.080
Ideological interests. Ideological reasons. But

00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:37.549
it's not going to make any difference. to global

00:10:37.549 --> 00:10:39.950
warming or, you know, the CO2 concentration in

00:10:39.950 --> 00:10:43.549
the atmosphere, really, if people eat fewer steaks.

00:10:43.610 --> 00:10:45.529
It doesn't matter. It's irrelevant. Irrelevant.

00:10:45.610 --> 00:10:47.549
I want to just be super clear about that. Yeah.

00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:49.690
It will not matter. You will not even be able

00:10:49.690 --> 00:10:51.970
to measure it, okay? That's how irrelevant it

00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:54.269
is. Isn't it funny that that's... Unmeasurable.

00:10:54.590 --> 00:10:57.389
Irrelevant. That's heretic speaking. Like, that's

00:10:57.389 --> 00:10:59.870
crazy talk now. Nowadays, it's like you have

00:10:59.870 --> 00:11:02.409
to say that we have to eat less meat. No. That

00:11:02.409 --> 00:11:04.769
meat is bad. You can totally eat as much meat

00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:05.769
as you want. It's not going to make a difference.

00:11:05.950 --> 00:11:08.279
Sing it! Sing it. Tell the world. Yeah, absolutely.

00:11:09.100 --> 00:11:10.759
And if somebody says it does make a difference,

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:12.279
I'm like, how will you measure it? And if you

00:11:12.279 --> 00:11:14.299
can't even measure it, then it's bullshit. Yeah.

00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:16.200
Literally, I won't be able to measure it. Well,

00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:18.559
there's so much bullshit out there. First of

00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.230
all, thank you so much. for buying Twitter. Thank

00:11:23.230 --> 00:11:26.029
you so much. I'm not exaggerating when I think

00:11:26.029 --> 00:11:28.169
you changed the course of history. I really do.

00:11:28.330 --> 00:11:32.610
I really think you made a fork in the road. We

00:11:32.610 --> 00:11:36.090
were headed down a path of censorship and of

00:11:36.090 --> 00:11:40.389
control of narratives that is unprecedented.

00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:42.789
Forget about what they were able to do back when

00:11:42.789 --> 00:11:45.830
they had newspapers and the media under control.

00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:48.940
What they were doing with social media by suppressing

00:11:48.940 --> 00:11:51.639
information and when you had a combined government

00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:54.299
effort, like what they were doing with the laptop

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:57.759
story. We have 51 former intelligence agents

00:11:57.759 --> 00:12:00.580
saying that this is Russian disinformation. Take

00:12:00.580 --> 00:12:04.500
it offline. And Twitter complied. If you didn't

00:12:04.500 --> 00:12:06.399
buy that, we wouldn't have known that. We had

00:12:06.399 --> 00:12:11.740
no idea. Exactly. The reason I bought it was

00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:15.299
because I'm pretty attuned. I was the most interacted

00:12:15.299 --> 00:12:18.299
with user on Twitter before the acquisition.

00:12:18.740 --> 00:12:20.899
Before the acquisition, I had more interactions.

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:23.559
There are some accounts like Obama and whatever

00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:26.679
had higher follower accounts, but I had the most

00:12:26.679 --> 00:12:28.879
number of interactions of any account in the

00:12:28.879 --> 00:12:33.200
system. I was very attuned to if they change

00:12:33.200 --> 00:12:36.419
the system, I can tell immediately. And I'm like,

00:12:36.419 --> 00:12:40.879
something weird is going on here. I just got

00:12:40.879 --> 00:12:44.740
increasingly uneasy. And obviously when they

00:12:44.740 --> 00:12:48.299
deplatformed a sitting president, deplatformed

00:12:48.299 --> 00:12:54.480
Trump, that was just insane. And the things he

00:12:54.480 --> 00:12:58.620
was posting, he was posting good things. He was

00:12:58.620 --> 00:13:03.480
saying like, hey, do not riot. Don't do any destruction

00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:06.559
of property. Please stay calm. That's the kind

00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:10.539
of stuff he was posting. And you're like, what's

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:13.519
wrong with that? And then some people said, oh,

00:13:13.580 --> 00:13:15.019
that's like some sort of dog whistle. He means

00:13:15.019 --> 00:13:17.220
the opposite. I'm like, okay, so we'll give you

00:13:17.220 --> 00:13:19.539
Trump's account. Now you post what you think

00:13:19.539 --> 00:13:21.279
you should post. Because he can post nothing.

00:13:21.460 --> 00:13:26.139
He can ask people to calm down. Like what? It

00:13:26.139 --> 00:13:28.419
was insane. Like it didn't make any sense. Well,

00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.200
it's completely illogical when you say it's dog

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:33.759
whistling to tell his followers to not be violent.

00:13:33.840 --> 00:13:36.159
Yes. That's crazy. Crazy. That's crazy. Crazy.

00:13:36.419 --> 00:13:38.399
Don't you think they'll listen to him? Yeah.

00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.039
Isn't that the whole point? They listened to

00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:41.620
him and created violence in the first place?

00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:43.659
That's what you think. Yes, exactly. That's what

00:13:43.659 --> 00:13:46.100
you're accusing him of. Right. And then there's

00:13:46.100 --> 00:13:48.659
the fact that we know that there was agents in

00:13:48.659 --> 00:13:50.879
the crowd that were agent provocateurs that were

00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.580
encouraging people to do illegal shit. Yes. We

00:13:53.580 --> 00:13:56.019
know that for a fact. This is not... That was

00:13:56.019 --> 00:13:59.340
always the big... Alex Jones type tinfoil hat

00:13:59.340 --> 00:14:02.039
conspiracy theory. Because Alex proposed that

00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:04.659
back at the World Trade Organization protests.

00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.419
I believe we're in Seattle in the 90s. And they

00:14:08.419 --> 00:14:10.779
sent in agent provocateurs, started smashing

00:14:10.779 --> 00:14:13.000
things, lighting things on fire. Now all of a

00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.980
sudden a peaceful protest is no longer peaceful.

00:14:15.179 --> 00:14:17.360
They move in the cops. They shut everything down.

00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.080
They had it set up where it was a no protest

00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:22.679
zone where you couldn't even have a pin that

00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.679
had the WTO with a red line through it. They

00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.340
wouldn't let you go in through to go to work.

00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:29.750
So you couldn't exercise your First Amendment

00:14:29.750 --> 00:14:32.450
rights. You couldn't even, like, have a peaceful

00:14:32.450 --> 00:14:34.970
protest, a fucking sticker on your car. You couldn't

00:14:34.970 --> 00:14:38.909
have that. It's crazy. It is crazy. So, no, I

00:14:38.909 --> 00:14:41.090
think we're very much at a fork in the road in

00:14:41.090 --> 00:14:47.350
destiny. And, you know, so, I mean, the reason

00:14:47.350 --> 00:14:49.690
I did the Twitter acquisition was like, it's

00:14:49.690 --> 00:14:51.450
like, man, if I don't do this, I think we're

00:14:51.450 --> 00:14:53.470
screwed is the issue. Well, if you didn't do

00:14:53.470 --> 00:14:54.909
it, no one else was going to do it because it

00:14:54.909 --> 00:14:57.600
wasn't a financial winner. It was kind of a crazy

00:14:57.600 --> 00:15:00.519
move. It's a crazy move. I mean, the thing was

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:05.639
way overpriced. And, you know, long term, I think

00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:08.379
we can ultimately make it a win for investors.

00:15:08.580 --> 00:15:12.580
But, boy, this is a hard way to make a living.

00:15:12.700 --> 00:15:14.340
Well, there's also a concerted effort to suppress

00:15:14.340 --> 00:15:16.659
it. There's a concerted effort with the advertisers.

00:15:17.100 --> 00:15:22.299
I still have a massive advertiser boycott that

00:15:22.299 --> 00:15:24.360
was organized by a bunch of left -wing NGOs.

00:15:25.019 --> 00:15:28.279
Like, you know, and you always want, and I should

00:15:28.279 --> 00:15:31.820
have brought my, I have a hat, make all well

00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:35.820
fiction again. I've seen that hat. Yeah. I should

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:37.399
have brought, I was going to wear my, I should

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.059
have brought my make all well fiction hat again.

00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:43.480
But, yeah, I mean, it's just totally, totally

00:15:43.480 --> 00:15:47.590
nuts. So. If you didn't do it, no one would have.

00:15:47.710 --> 00:15:49.710
And here's the hilarious narrative that I keep

00:15:49.710 --> 00:15:53.029
hearing from idiots. Elon's a bad businessman.

00:15:53.129 --> 00:15:56.990
Twitter is worth 400 % less than when he bought

00:15:56.990 --> 00:15:58.889
it. No, it wasn't worth that in the first place.

00:15:59.029 --> 00:16:00.149
It wasn't worth that in the first place. It wasn't

00:16:00.149 --> 00:16:02.690
worth $44 billion, you fucking morons. Like,

00:16:02.710 --> 00:16:05.029
wrong. And also, you're not taking into account

00:16:05.029 --> 00:16:07.210
the advertiser boycott. Exactly. That's total

00:16:07.210 --> 00:16:10.470
bullshit. Yeah, exactly. So there are these organizations.

00:16:10.970 --> 00:16:14.710
You can tell they're like when they have an Orwellian

00:16:14.710 --> 00:16:17.720
name. So like the Center for Countering Digital

00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:21.960
Hate is a total scam organization because they're

00:16:21.960 --> 00:16:24.279
like the Ministry of Truth type of thing in Orwell.

00:16:27.139 --> 00:16:31.100
They're a censorship organization. Yeah. And

00:16:31.100 --> 00:16:36.220
they pushed the advertisers to boycott. So we

00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:38.879
still have – like some of the boycott is starting

00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:43.159
to lift. And I think if Trump wins, we'll see

00:16:43.159 --> 00:16:47.129
probably – Most of the boycott lived. But if

00:16:47.129 --> 00:16:49.110
Kamala wins, we'll see that boycott get stronger.

00:16:50.210 --> 00:16:52.809
And they'll friggin' shut down. There's no way

00:16:52.809 --> 00:16:55.549
that the sort of Kamala Puppet regime would allow

00:16:55.549 --> 00:16:57.669
X to exist. You really think that they'll be

00:16:57.669 --> 00:16:59.269
able to shut it down, though? Is there a pathway

00:16:59.269 --> 00:17:06.250
to that? Yes. What would they do? Well, I mean,

00:17:06.269 --> 00:17:09.390
they can just, they can stick the DOJ on, you

00:17:09.390 --> 00:17:11.240
know, and say like... They've had this whole

00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:13.019
thing about hate speech, misinformation, whatever,

00:17:13.240 --> 00:17:15.039
except they're the ones pushing the misinformation.

00:17:15.640 --> 00:17:17.940
But that doesn't stop them from filing massive

00:17:17.940 --> 00:17:23.059
lawsuits and using the DOJ. The DOJ has been

00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:26.160
attacking SpaceX, for example, for not hiring

00:17:26.160 --> 00:17:28.700
asylum seekers, even though it is legal for SpaceX

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:31.420
to hire anyone who is not a permanent resident

00:17:31.420 --> 00:17:34.160
of the U .S. So we're damned if we do and damned

00:17:34.160 --> 00:17:37.549
if we don't. Just an example of what DOJ can

00:17:37.549 --> 00:17:40.269
do. So it's illegal to hire someone who's not

00:17:40.269 --> 00:17:45.089
an American citizen? SpaceX is considered an

00:17:45.089 --> 00:17:48.130
advanced weapons technology. So it's covered

00:17:48.130 --> 00:17:49.930
by international traffic and arms regulations

00:17:49.930 --> 00:17:52.349
because we make rocket technology that can be

00:17:52.349 --> 00:17:54.230
used against the United States. It's like if

00:17:54.230 --> 00:17:56.789
North Korea or Iran got SpaceX rocket technology,

00:17:57.049 --> 00:17:58.890
they could use that to launch nukes at America.

00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:01.690
Right. That would be bad. Yeah. That would be

00:18:01.690 --> 00:18:05.759
really bad. That would be really bad. Since we

00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:08.359
are in the most extreme category of weapons technology

00:18:08.359 --> 00:18:14.119
at SpaceX, under US ITAR law, it is illegal for

00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:15.960
us to hire anyone who's not a permanent resident.

00:18:16.140 --> 00:18:18.779
Because the presumption is that if they're not

00:18:18.779 --> 00:18:20.319
a permanent resident, they're going to return

00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:23.299
to their home country and take the rocket technology

00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:29.240
with them. So it's illegal for us to hire anyone

00:18:29.240 --> 00:18:31.839
who's not a permanent resident. They can have

00:18:31.839 --> 00:18:33.539
a green card or be a citizen. They just have

00:18:33.539 --> 00:18:35.339
to be a permanent resident of the United States.

00:18:36.259 --> 00:18:39.359
Then there's another law that says if you discriminate

00:18:39.359 --> 00:18:42.920
against asylum seekers, you're also breaking

00:18:42.920 --> 00:18:50.299
the law. So the DOJ can only do a small number

00:18:50.299 --> 00:18:52.279
of big lawsuits every year. They launched a giant

00:18:52.279 --> 00:18:56.880
lawsuit against SpaceX saying that SpaceX discriminated

00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:00.009
against asylum seekers. And we're like, but it's

00:19:00.009 --> 00:19:01.750
illegal for us to hire anyone who's not a permanent

00:19:01.750 --> 00:19:04.710
resident. So we're in this, like, this is what

00:19:04.710 --> 00:19:07.009
I mean. It's like, oh, well, the oh, well situation

00:19:07.009 --> 00:19:09.809
is getting insane. Like, you're damned if you

00:19:09.809 --> 00:19:12.230
do, and you're damned if you don't. So you're

00:19:12.230 --> 00:19:14.789
damned. Can you imagine history looking back

00:19:14.789 --> 00:19:19.089
at... When you watch the robot arms catch the

00:19:19.089 --> 00:19:21.269
rocket and you realize, like, this is, like,

00:19:21.289 --> 00:19:24.069
one of the greatest accomplishments in the history

00:19:24.069 --> 00:19:27.029
of aerospace. Like, it is one of the wildest

00:19:27.029 --> 00:19:29.069
accomplishments. When you watch that thing come

00:19:29.069 --> 00:19:31.089
and you see all those people cheering and it

00:19:31.089 --> 00:19:35.109
catches it perfectly, like, holy shit. Imagine

00:19:35.109 --> 00:19:37.710
how history is going to look back at the DOJ

00:19:37.710 --> 00:19:41.490
going after that company. Yeah. How insane it

00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:43.950
is. It was a big lawsuit with an army of lawyers.

00:19:44.089 --> 00:19:45.960
Like, this was not, like, some minor thing. But

00:19:45.960 --> 00:19:47.759
it doesn't even make any sense logically. How

00:19:47.759 --> 00:19:49.720
can it even get brought to court if it's illegal?

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:54.039
Exactly. So that's what I mean. Basically, if

00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:55.160
the government wants to go after you, they'll

00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.500
just find a reason. It's like that famous quote

00:19:57.500 --> 00:20:02.980
from Beria. So Stalin's chief torturer, the head

00:20:02.980 --> 00:20:05.500
of Stalin's secret police, and he's like chief

00:20:05.500 --> 00:20:08.119
torturer, truly evil human being, like this guy

00:20:08.119 --> 00:20:11.859
Beria. One of his famous quotes was, show me

00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:16.000
the man and I'll show you the crime. Right. They

00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:18.779
decide that you're the target and then they figure

00:20:18.779 --> 00:20:22.920
out the crime afterwards. That's the issue. They

00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.599
decided SpaceX was the target. They just figured

00:20:25.599 --> 00:20:27.380
out the crime afterwards. Which is so crazy because

00:20:27.380 --> 00:20:29.660
that's exactly what they're saying Trump is going

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:32.480
to do if he gets into office. They're doing all

00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:34.759
the things that they accuse Trump of doing. Yeah.

00:20:35.799 --> 00:20:39.119
Openly. Openly. Yeah. I mean, the sheer number

00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:41.799
of hoaxes that the Democratic Party is pushing.

00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:45.759
Over and over again. And it's like, look, I understand

00:20:45.759 --> 00:20:49.559
like politicians are going to exaggerate. They're

00:20:49.559 --> 00:20:53.259
going to misspeak. And they'll tell occasional

00:20:53.259 --> 00:20:56.220
untruths, whatever. That's how it is in politics.

00:20:56.500 --> 00:20:59.500
But when you have deliberate, concerted, repeated

00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:03.819
pushing of hoaxes. You're like, wait a second.

00:21:03.900 --> 00:21:06.680
Like, come on, man. This is too far. And you're

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:09.119
supposed to be the good guys. And you claim to

00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.079
be the good guys? I'm like, exactly. You're supposed

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:13.180
to be the progressives. Yes, the Dems are like,

00:21:13.259 --> 00:21:14.660
oh, we're the good guys. We're the honest people.

00:21:15.099 --> 00:21:17.119
No, no, hang on. You can't claim to be the good

00:21:17.119 --> 00:21:18.440
guys. You can't claim to be the honest people

00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.339
if you're deliberately pushing hoaxes that have

00:21:22.339 --> 00:21:26.339
been debunked thoroughly. Yeah. Like even Snopes,

00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.880
which is a liberal thing, says it's bogus. Yeah.

00:21:29.019 --> 00:21:31.980
Like the fine people hoax. Obama just said that

00:21:31.980 --> 00:21:33.400
on stage. Obama just said that. I was like, what

00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:36.160
the flying fuck? He doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't

00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:38.299
give a fuck. They're just going for it. That's

00:21:38.299 --> 00:21:39.380
a flat out goddamn fucking lie. Flat out lie.

00:21:39.759 --> 00:21:41.220
Flat out fucking lie. How about the other one

00:21:41.220 --> 00:21:43.859
where Kamala's campaign used what Trump was saying

00:21:43.859 --> 00:21:46.980
about protecting women from illegal immigrants?

00:21:47.140 --> 00:21:50.069
Thank you. You remember that? What he was saying

00:21:50.069 --> 00:21:52.309
is if the women like it or not, I'm going to

00:21:52.309 --> 00:21:54.650
do it. Yeah. When he was saying that, they were

00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:56.750
trying to say that he was taking away women's

00:21:56.750 --> 00:21:59.109
right to choose whether women like it or not.

00:21:59.210 --> 00:22:00.809
Like that's not what he was saying. Absolutely.

00:22:00.849 --> 00:22:03.089
He was literally talking about protecting them

00:22:03.089 --> 00:22:05.170
from dangerous people that are sneaking in through

00:22:05.170 --> 00:22:07.930
the border. Yes, exactly. They'll take like not

00:22:07.930 --> 00:22:09.730
even a full sentence, like a half a sentence

00:22:09.730 --> 00:22:12.180
from Trump. Yes. And then they'll push it. On

00:22:12.180 --> 00:22:15.720
every ad, every speaking event, every media.

00:22:15.720 --> 00:22:18.000
And it gets repeated on the news. Yes. This is

00:22:18.000 --> 00:22:20.140
what's crazy. They'll talk about it on these

00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:23.619
new shows, quote, new shows. Yeah, exactly. I

00:22:23.619 --> 00:22:27.519
mean, a recent one that came up, which had a

00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:30.039
lot of people, because a lot of people reached

00:22:30.039 --> 00:22:32.710
out to me, it was like. They're like, oh, Trump

00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:35.210
says he wants to execute Liz Cheney. I'm like,

00:22:35.250 --> 00:22:37.269
that is utter bullshit. It's not what he said

00:22:37.269 --> 00:22:39.089
at all. It's not what he said at all. All he

00:22:39.089 --> 00:22:41.869
said was like – what he's saying is that, look,

00:22:41.970 --> 00:22:47.369
if Liz Cheney actually had to fight at the front

00:22:47.369 --> 00:22:49.930
lines, she'd think twice about going to war.

00:22:50.890 --> 00:22:53.809
Exactly. Like it's easy to go to war. It's easy

00:22:53.809 --> 00:22:56.450
to be a warmonger if you don't have to risk dying

00:22:56.450 --> 00:22:59.799
at the front lines. Like if other like basically

00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:02.119
it's fucked up if people are having like fancy

00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:05.859
dinners in Washington, D .C., while people are

00:23:05.859 --> 00:23:08.359
being slaughtered in trenches. You know, it's

00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.059
like you're not feeling the pain. Exactly. You're

00:23:11.059 --> 00:23:12.680
not taking the risk. It's someone else dying.

00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:15.960
That's like that's that's cruel and lacking in

00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:19.640
empathy. And all Trump was saying was that it's

00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:22.559
like Liz Cheney would be much Liz Cheney would

00:23:22.559 --> 00:23:24.359
be much less of a warmonger because she's a huge

00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:27.960
warmonger. Just like her dad. If she actually

00:23:27.960 --> 00:23:30.019
had to go to the front lines and fight herself.

00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:31.900
And meanwhile, they're saying that he should

00:23:31.900 --> 00:23:34.319
he's saying she should be shot. Yes, which is

00:23:34.319 --> 00:23:37.900
a total lie. And I had like tons of people call

00:23:37.900 --> 00:23:40.000
me this weekend saying, oh, Trump says he's going

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:42.960
to put his training in a firing squad. Like that

00:23:42.960 --> 00:23:46.779
is an outrageous lie. And legacy media ran with

00:23:46.779 --> 00:23:49.319
that lie big time. Yeah, it's crazy. It's just

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.190
wild to see. And if it wasn't for Twitter. Or

00:23:52.190 --> 00:23:54.609
X now. I don't think we would know about all

00:23:54.609 --> 00:23:56.869
this stuff. I think it would be very difficult

00:23:56.869 --> 00:23:59.750
for you. I think YouTube throttled. They did

00:23:59.750 --> 00:24:01.430
something weird. They won't say what they did,

00:24:01.529 --> 00:24:02.990
but they did something weird with the Trump interview

00:24:02.990 --> 00:24:04.849
that I did. Yeah. Where you couldn't find it.

00:24:04.869 --> 00:24:08.109
It doesn't make sense. It made no sense. I mean,

00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:10.990
it was like the biggest interview on earth. Yeah.

00:24:11.049 --> 00:24:13.250
And you can't find it? Yeah. Not only that, it

00:24:13.250 --> 00:24:15.950
wasn't trending. Bullshit. It wasn't trending.

00:24:16.210 --> 00:24:19.609
It wasn't trending. It wasn't trending. You're

00:24:19.609 --> 00:24:23.200
like. Like, there's just no excuse for that,

00:24:23.200 --> 00:24:24.779
man. No excuse. There's no excuse. It was getting

00:24:24.779 --> 00:24:28.319
a million views. What was it? 1 .4 an hour at

00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:30.900
one point in time? 1 .5. 1 .5 an hour. Yeah.

00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:34.079
And it wasn't trending. Yeah. And it's like your

00:24:34.079 --> 00:24:36.460
channel is a known channel. It's not like it

00:24:36.460 --> 00:24:39.839
was started yesterday. It's like... Yeah. It's

00:24:39.839 --> 00:24:43.200
like... Yours is a high -trust channel. You're

00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:48.880
not trying to scam crypto coins. Well, thank

00:24:48.880 --> 00:24:51.119
God we put it on X as well. Because I think just

00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:53.220
with your account and my account alone, it's

00:24:53.220 --> 00:24:56.769
like 70 million views. Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's

00:24:56.769 --> 00:24:58.730
like you can't hide things anymore because of

00:24:58.730 --> 00:25:00.890
you. And if it wasn't for you, I think they would

00:25:00.890 --> 00:25:02.829
have had total control of social media by now.

00:25:02.930 --> 00:25:06.250
Yeah. They banned so many accounts during the

00:25:06.250 --> 00:25:09.829
pandemic, so many dissenting scientists and doctors

00:25:09.829 --> 00:25:12.450
and physicians. They banned so many conspiracy

00:25:12.450 --> 00:25:14.609
theorists, so many people that colored outside

00:25:14.609 --> 00:25:17.289
the lines. They would have done that everywhere.

00:25:17.509 --> 00:25:20.789
And it probably would have. I think even what's

00:25:20.789 --> 00:25:22.910
going on at Facebook, they're they're being more

00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:25.269
lenient. You know, you hear. Zuckerberg talking

00:25:25.269 --> 00:25:27.329
about taking a more libertarian stance. That's

00:25:27.329 --> 00:25:31.069
entirely reaction to the way Twitter has kind

00:25:31.069 --> 00:25:35.849
of moved the watermark. Exactly. So as soon as

00:25:35.849 --> 00:25:38.210
any company steps out of line and is willing

00:25:38.210 --> 00:25:40.430
to actually have the truth debated on their platform,

00:25:40.569 --> 00:25:43.089
it forces the other platforms to allow things

00:25:43.089 --> 00:25:47.750
to be more truthful to not censor because their

00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:51.009
censorship becomes glaringly obvious. Yes. Yes.

00:25:51.069 --> 00:25:54.380
And, you know, the best thing I found for. as

00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:56.859
a rebuttal, like if there's a hoax, is just go

00:25:56.859 --> 00:26:00.900
to the source material. If somebody thinks, you

00:26:00.900 --> 00:26:04.539
know, Trump said that we should put Liz Cheney

00:26:04.539 --> 00:26:07.019
in a firing squad, I'm like, let me send you

00:26:07.019 --> 00:26:10.160
a link to X so you can watch his video. That's

00:26:10.160 --> 00:26:13.200
the best way. Don't take my opinion for it. Don't

00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:15.000
take anyone's opinion for it. Go to the source

00:26:15.000 --> 00:26:17.279
material. And Community Notes. Yes, and Community

00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:18.539
Notes is awesome. Community Notes is the best.

00:26:18.680 --> 00:26:20.890
It's awesome. It's incredible because everybody

00:26:20.890 --> 00:26:24.549
gets checked. Yes, including me. Yeah. And with

00:26:24.549 --> 00:26:27.750
community notes, all the software is open source

00:26:27.750 --> 00:26:31.150
and all the data is open source. So you can recreate

00:26:31.150 --> 00:26:34.710
any given note independently. That's amazing.

00:26:34.990 --> 00:26:37.730
Yeah. That's how it should be. It's total, absolute

00:26:37.730 --> 00:26:40.869
transparency in every way. You know, sometimes

00:26:40.869 --> 00:26:43.349
I get asked, like, oh, can you remove a note?

00:26:43.589 --> 00:26:46.210
You know, mostly by the left, but sometimes by

00:26:46.210 --> 00:26:48.440
the right. I'm like. I'm like, I don't even remove

00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:51.099
notes on my own account. Nothing. And by the

00:26:51.099 --> 00:26:53.200
way, everything is totally open. So if I did

00:26:53.200 --> 00:26:56.599
that, it would stick out like a sore thumb. Immediately.

00:26:56.599 --> 00:26:58.700
Like, it's not going to be subtle. That is the

00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:01.420
best counter to misinformation. Yes, absolutely.

00:27:01.720 --> 00:27:04.019
Like, let everybody look at it and say, okay,

00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:06.420
here's what the actual facts say. Yes, exactly.

00:27:06.680 --> 00:27:08.880
The counter to misinformation is better information.

00:27:09.339 --> 00:27:11.839
Not just that, but having it checked in real

00:27:11.839 --> 00:27:14.180
time by the community. So you have millions of

00:27:14.180 --> 00:27:15.940
people that can go over it and debate whether

00:27:15.940 --> 00:27:18.920
or not this is true or that's true. Yes. And

00:27:18.920 --> 00:27:22.339
like I said, the best way to understand the truth

00:27:22.339 --> 00:27:24.039
of things is don't take anyone's opinion for

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.559
it. Look at it. the source material you know

00:27:26.559 --> 00:27:28.339
so it's like look at what someone actually said

00:27:28.339 --> 00:27:30.539
look at what someone actually did look at the

00:27:30.539 --> 00:27:32.640
real videos of the situation and and then you

00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.539
can actually you'll know what's real So as of

00:27:36.539 --> 00:27:39.359
today, when you were literally on your way here,

00:27:39.400 --> 00:27:41.420
you sent me this text saying that they're trying

00:27:41.420 --> 00:27:43.420
to lock you up in jail in Pennsylvania. Tell

00:27:43.420 --> 00:27:46.279
me what the fuck is happening. Well, you know,

00:27:46.299 --> 00:27:48.259
there's the classic sort of Soros DA situation.

00:27:49.460 --> 00:27:52.180
So we're making a lot of progress in Pennsylvania.

00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.660
So, you know, I've given a whole bunch of talks

00:27:55.660 --> 00:27:58.259
throughout the state because Pennsylvania is

00:27:58.259 --> 00:28:00.599
the linchpin in this election. You know, whoever

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:04.859
wins Pennsylvania wins the election. So I've

00:28:04.859 --> 00:28:06.660
been giving – I spent three years in Pennsylvania.

00:28:06.660 --> 00:28:11.319
I went to college in Philadelphia. So it's not

00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:13.940
like I'm a total stranger to the state. I spent

00:28:13.940 --> 00:28:21.480
three years there. And we've organized this petition

00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:24.819
in support of the Constitution, which I think

00:28:24.819 --> 00:28:29.039
is a good thing, and specifically asking people

00:28:29.039 --> 00:28:35.450
to – and we wanted this to be like – registered

00:28:35.450 --> 00:28:37.650
voters in swing states. Basically, we want to

00:28:37.650 --> 00:28:39.809
send a message to the politicians to say that

00:28:39.809 --> 00:28:42.009
the people care about the Constitution because

00:28:42.009 --> 00:28:43.630
there have been all these attacks on the Constitution.

00:28:44.470 --> 00:28:46.589
Especially on the Democrat side, they've been

00:28:46.589 --> 00:28:49.730
repeatedly saying that the First Amendment is

00:28:49.730 --> 00:28:52.569
an obstacle. And they're claiming, oh, the First

00:28:52.569 --> 00:28:55.470
Amendment is enabling disinformation, misinformation.

00:28:55.670 --> 00:28:57.990
And I'm like, yo, there's a reason for the First

00:28:57.990 --> 00:29:00.829
Amendment. Like, freedom of speech, the reason

00:29:00.829 --> 00:29:04.509
that the founders of the country put The freedom

00:29:04.509 --> 00:29:06.029
of speech there is because they came from countries

00:29:06.029 --> 00:29:09.230
where if you spoke your mind, you would get shot

00:29:09.230 --> 00:29:12.029
or imprisoned. That's why the First Amendment

00:29:12.029 --> 00:29:14.930
exists. And the Second Amendment is there to

00:29:14.930 --> 00:29:17.190
stop the tyranny of government. The Second Amendment,

00:29:17.589 --> 00:29:20.329
the right to bear arms, is there to protect freedom

00:29:20.329 --> 00:29:30.970
of speech. You know, and I've had these debates,

00:29:31.150 --> 00:29:32.970
especially with people in L .A., because they're

00:29:32.970 --> 00:29:34.210
like, we're going to take everyone's guns away.

00:29:34.369 --> 00:29:38.589
And I'm like, yo, can you guarantee me that the

00:29:38.589 --> 00:29:40.730
government, that we will never have a tyrannical

00:29:40.730 --> 00:29:42.789
government in the United States? Can you make

00:29:42.789 --> 00:29:45.769
that guarantee? They're like, well, nobody can

00:29:45.769 --> 00:29:47.569
make that guarantee. I'm like, then we need to

00:29:47.569 --> 00:29:50.170
keep our guns because that's what's going to

00:29:50.170 --> 00:29:53.210
stop it. That sounds crazy for people to hear

00:29:53.210 --> 00:29:55.589
because they think about gun violence and gun

00:29:55.589 --> 00:29:58.789
problems and gun this and gun that. That's the

00:29:58.789 --> 00:30:01.089
reality of the world that we live in is that

00:30:01.089 --> 00:30:03.950
tyranny is possible and it exists other places

00:30:03.950 --> 00:30:07.130
and it's slowly existing. It's slowly rearing

00:30:07.130 --> 00:30:11.440
its head in the UK. You're seeing. I think the

00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:13.799
number of people that have been arrested for

00:30:13.799 --> 00:30:17.440
just social media posts is bananas. It's in the

00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:19.500
thousands. Yes. Several thousand people have

00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:23.720
been given prison sentences in the UK for social

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:27.140
media posts where there was no explicit link

00:30:27.140 --> 00:30:29.980
to actual violence. But they just said it encouraged

00:30:29.980 --> 00:30:32.200
violence. Like, well, did anyone actually do

00:30:32.200 --> 00:30:34.529
anything as a result of that? Media Post will

00:30:34.529 --> 00:30:38.529
know. And then they have a prison overcrowding

00:30:38.529 --> 00:30:41.230
situation in the UK. So they're quite literally

00:30:41.230 --> 00:30:45.089
releasing convicted pedophiles and putting people

00:30:45.089 --> 00:30:48.069
in jail for Facebook posts. That's an actual

00:30:48.069 --> 00:30:51.809
thing happening in Britain. That is so wild.

00:30:52.460 --> 00:30:56.019
Like it's – you're like what the fuck is going

00:30:56.019 --> 00:30:58.200
on? And what's insane to me is that – Make Orwell

00:30:58.200 --> 00:31:00.619
fiction again. Yeah. But it's all being encouraged

00:31:00.619 --> 00:31:03.740
by the left. Katanji Brown Jackson. John Kerry.

00:31:04.480 --> 00:31:06.779
John Kerry was one of the people who said that

00:31:06.779 --> 00:31:09.819
– he's on camera like a few weeks ago saying

00:31:09.819 --> 00:31:12.900
that the First Amendment is an obstacle to fighting

00:31:12.900 --> 00:31:15.599
misinformation. Yeah. It's crazy. It's such a

00:31:15.599 --> 00:31:17.400
crazy thing to say when you have a solution.

00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:20.420
in community notes you have a solution in something

00:31:20.420 --> 00:31:22.559
that that could clear everything up any confusion

00:31:22.559 --> 00:31:24.900
within a day or two and and even without a community

00:31:24.900 --> 00:31:27.460
note you can reply to a post and with evidence

00:31:27.460 --> 00:31:30.160
that that that shows that the post is wrong you

00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:31.599
don't even need community notes i mean community

00:31:31.599 --> 00:31:33.359
is helpful because it sticks to the original

00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:36.180
note yes but in the replies you can say here's

00:31:36.180 --> 00:31:37.980
why you're wrong here are the reasons and here's

00:31:37.980 --> 00:31:39.920
the evidence but the argument is that people

00:31:39.920 --> 00:31:43.039
are too unsophisticated that they're not going

00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:45.000
to research these things they're going to be

00:31:45.000 --> 00:31:47.059
a victim of misinformation so they're going to

00:31:47.059 --> 00:31:48.900
read something that's incorrect. They're going

00:31:48.900 --> 00:31:51.480
to run with it. People are going to die. We're

00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:53.900
going to ruin the world because people believed

00:31:53.900 --> 00:31:56.019
in misinformation. It's a stupid argument. It's

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:57.460
a stupid argument. Because it's an argument that

00:31:57.460 --> 00:31:59.319
they're too dumb to know what's right or wrong.

00:31:59.400 --> 00:32:01.359
If you know, because you're saying it's misinformation,

00:32:01.740 --> 00:32:04.400
why do you think that you're smarter than everybody

00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:07.359
who reads that? Exactly. And obviously anyone

00:32:07.359 --> 00:32:10.309
on the X system knows that. Things are posted

00:32:10.309 --> 00:32:12.109
and then there are replies and there are rebuttals

00:32:12.109 --> 00:32:14.109
and it's immediately corrected. But where are

00:32:14.109 --> 00:32:15.849
the corrections for the legacy media? Right.

00:32:15.930 --> 00:32:19.630
You know, when if, you know, some broadcast media,

00:32:19.809 --> 00:32:24.049
they say false things all the time, but it's

00:32:24.049 --> 00:32:26.049
a one way street. There's no rebuttal. There's

00:32:26.049 --> 00:32:29.890
no counter. Right. Right. Who's apologized for

00:32:29.890 --> 00:32:32.690
being incorrect about what? Did Rachel Maddow

00:32:32.690 --> 00:32:34.990
ever apologize for telling everybody that if

00:32:34.990 --> 00:32:36.509
you get the COVID vaccine, you're never going

00:32:36.509 --> 00:32:39.230
to get COVID? The virus stops with you. Never.

00:32:39.509 --> 00:32:42.690
Never. It was not true at the time. There was

00:32:42.690 --> 00:32:44.849
no evidence to support it at the time. It's pure

00:32:44.849 --> 00:32:47.509
propaganda. And she said it. The Russiagate hoax.

00:32:47.950 --> 00:32:51.269
For three fucking years, they said that he was

00:32:51.269 --> 00:32:53.869
Putin's toy and that Putin had him compromised.

00:32:53.910 --> 00:32:55.829
The Steele dossier. The Steele dossier was completely

00:32:55.829 --> 00:33:00.170
fabricated by a lawyer at Perkins Coie who was

00:33:00.170 --> 00:33:03.359
paid by the Clinton campaign. Literally. Crazy.

00:33:03.460 --> 00:33:05.079
And still people think the Russia hoax is real.

00:33:05.220 --> 00:33:07.259
And there's no repercussions. There's no one

00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:09.619
had to apologize. Hillary never came out and

00:33:09.619 --> 00:33:11.259
apologized for that. And people still listen

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:13.920
to her. The whole thing is crazy. And it's all

00:33:13.920 --> 00:33:17.099
coming from the left, which growing up as a person

00:33:17.099 --> 00:33:18.640
who was in the left my whole life, it doesn't

00:33:18.640 --> 00:33:23.440
make any fucking sense. Same. I mean, I was on

00:33:23.440 --> 00:33:29.480
the left until like three years ago. It's not

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.140
the left anymore. It's not the left anymore.

00:33:32.890 --> 00:33:35.990
Like, we obviously want, I mean, I believe, like,

00:33:36.109 --> 00:33:39.849
we want freedom. Like, we want to maximize personal

00:33:39.849 --> 00:33:43.569
liberty. I think we want to be kind to people.

00:33:43.750 --> 00:33:49.509
You know, we want to have empathy. But it's very

00:33:49.509 --> 00:33:51.250
important to have personal freedom and a merit

00:33:51.250 --> 00:33:56.190
-based society. And the left wants to oppress

00:33:56.190 --> 00:33:58.029
your freedoms, especially freedom of speech.

00:33:58.490 --> 00:34:02.170
And they want to have a non -merit -based society.

00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:04.579
with race -based and sex -based preferences.

00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:07.099
And it's like, well, wait a second. No, we just

00:34:07.099 --> 00:34:09.199
want people to succeed based on their skills

00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:11.739
and their hard work. And if they don't want people

00:34:11.739 --> 00:34:13.960
to express themselves about particular issues,

00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:15.579
then they're not doing the will of the people.

00:34:15.699 --> 00:34:17.480
And if they're trying to suppress people's ability

00:34:17.480 --> 00:34:19.340
to communicate, they're only doing that because

00:34:19.340 --> 00:34:21.539
they want to do things that people don't want

00:34:21.539 --> 00:34:24.119
them to do. And they want to silence opposition.

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:27.159
That's all it is. And the fact that people can't

00:34:27.159 --> 00:34:29.340
see that and they want to call Trump a fascist.

00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:32.840
The whole thing is through the looking glass.

00:34:33.019 --> 00:34:35.380
I mean, it's like one hoax after another that

00:34:35.380 --> 00:34:36.800
they're perpetrating against Trump. I mean, like

00:34:36.800 --> 00:34:38.639
they try to call the rally at Madison Square

00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:40.880
Gardens like a Nazi rally. I'm like, yo, there

00:34:40.880 --> 00:34:43.440
was like literally an Israeli flag in the audience.

00:34:44.019 --> 00:34:46.679
I think like a quarter of the speakers were Jewish.

00:34:46.840 --> 00:34:49.000
Like there were people of every race, color,

00:34:49.059 --> 00:34:52.079
creed, religion at that rally. Like tell me what

00:34:52.079 --> 00:34:55.030
about that is Nazi? And yet it was portrayed

00:34:55.030 --> 00:34:57.369
as a Nazi rally. Well, MSNBC, they literally

00:34:57.369 --> 00:35:00.489
showed video of the Nazi rally from the 1930s

00:35:00.489 --> 00:35:02.789
and then compared it to the Trump rally. Now,

00:35:02.789 --> 00:35:06.269
ignoring the fact that fucking Jimmy Carter spoke

00:35:06.269 --> 00:35:08.800
there. There have been dozens of political rallies

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:11.780
at Madison Square Gardens, dozens on the Democrat

00:35:11.780 --> 00:35:15.059
side. Like people on X were like – and here's

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:17.380
– exactly. Here's Jimmy Carter and here's – And

00:35:17.380 --> 00:35:20.480
a Nazi rally. And here's – wait a second. Actually,

00:35:20.539 --> 00:35:22.860
it looks like every presidential candidate has

00:35:22.860 --> 00:35:25.599
done a – on the Democrat side has done a rally

00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:27.579
at Madison Square Gardens. Are they Nazis too?

00:35:27.820 --> 00:35:29.579
But what they're doing is they're preying on

00:35:29.579 --> 00:35:32.559
low -information voters who aren't engaged actively

00:35:32.559 --> 00:35:35.679
on social media, who don't have the time to look

00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:40.059
through everything. Exactly. Yeah. Like, if people

00:35:40.059 --> 00:35:42.059
are just looking at legacy mainstream media,

00:35:42.239 --> 00:35:43.860
then they have a totally different worldview

00:35:43.860 --> 00:35:47.300
than if they're on X and seeing the actual flow

00:35:47.300 --> 00:35:50.619
of argument and the actual evidence. Well, what

00:35:50.619 --> 00:35:52.940
was the pushback? Like, what happened when you

00:35:52.940 --> 00:35:55.019
guys released the Twitter files? Because I think

00:35:55.019 --> 00:35:56.679
the Twitter files is probably one of the most

00:35:56.679 --> 00:35:59.539
important things in this age of information for

00:35:59.539 --> 00:36:01.480
understanding the influence that government has

00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:04.860
on social media and on discourse. Because when

00:36:04.860 --> 00:36:07.400
we found out that that was the case. the government

00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.340
was actually asking Twitter to remove posts that

00:36:10.340 --> 00:36:12.119
were factual. Yeah, all the time. They did the

00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:14.039
same thing to Facebook. They had them throttle

00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:16.940
pieces of one of Tucker Carlson's show. They

00:36:16.940 --> 00:36:21.239
suppressed the views by 50%. Yeah. Factual information.

00:36:21.539 --> 00:36:23.719
Yeah. No, there was massive government interference

00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.820
in Twitter. But Twitter welcomed it. That's important.

00:36:27.199 --> 00:36:31.380
All Twitter welcomed it. I mean, all Twitter

00:36:31.380 --> 00:36:35.239
was controlled by far -left activists. Yeah.

00:36:37.300 --> 00:36:40.280
And they welcomed the government interference.

00:36:40.719 --> 00:36:43.400
They got paid by the government for it. That's

00:36:43.400 --> 00:36:45.380
crazy. They got paid for their time, correct?

00:36:45.659 --> 00:36:48.239
Yeah, they got paid millions of dollars for suppressing

00:36:48.239 --> 00:36:51.139
information. And a bunch of it was flat out illegal.

00:36:51.219 --> 00:36:54.940
The FBI had this sort of magic portal into the

00:36:54.940 --> 00:36:58.980
Twitter system. But all of the communication

00:36:58.980 --> 00:37:02.159
in this portal was auto -deleted after two weeks,

00:37:02.239 --> 00:37:05.340
which breaks federal FOIA laws. So we don't even

00:37:05.340 --> 00:37:07.139
know what was said because it was all deleted

00:37:07.139 --> 00:37:10.239
after two weeks. That's insane. Yeah. That's

00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:12.159
so crazy. It's so crazy that people thought that

00:37:12.159 --> 00:37:15.119
was okay. It's super not okay. No, it's super

00:37:15.119 --> 00:37:18.179
not okay. It's unconstitutional, and no one would

00:37:18.179 --> 00:37:20.420
want that. No one would want the government to

00:37:20.420 --> 00:37:23.679
have that kind of access. Exactly. And what was

00:37:23.679 --> 00:37:27.019
the blowback like when all that stuff got released?

00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.480
You had to anticipate that there was going to

00:37:29.480 --> 00:37:33.219
be problems when you released that. What happened?

00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:37.119
Well, we did lose a lot of advertising dollars.

00:37:40.619 --> 00:37:43.500
Which is crazy because it's essentially like

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:45.420
one of the most important forms of journalism

00:37:45.420 --> 00:37:48.599
is exposing government corruption. Yes. I mean

00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:50.920
this is the weird thing. It's like the left used

00:37:50.920 --> 00:37:54.159
to be big on exposing government corruption.

00:37:54.380 --> 00:37:56.639
But once they control the government, they no

00:37:56.639 --> 00:37:58.280
longer want to expose the government corruption.

00:37:59.079 --> 00:38:01.059
Right. They want to pretend that the left -wing

00:38:01.059 --> 00:38:03.239
government's incapable of corruption because

00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.800
we're on the good side. I think it may be just

00:38:05.800 --> 00:38:09.199
like whoever's in power kind of doesn't want

00:38:09.199 --> 00:38:14.340
the other side heard. Because as you pointed

00:38:14.340 --> 00:38:17.860
out, the left historically, up until, I don't

00:38:17.860 --> 00:38:19.659
know, maybe even 10 years ago or something like

00:38:19.659 --> 00:38:23.820
that, was the free speech party. And now it's

00:38:23.820 --> 00:38:27.119
the anti -free speech party. And they use words

00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:29.679
like... Like, oh, well, we have to be against

00:38:29.679 --> 00:38:32.179
hate speech and misinformation, disinformation.

00:38:33.260 --> 00:38:37.000
But these are propaganda words. It's like, well,

00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:39.059
who's defining hate speech? Who's defining misinformation?

00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:41.460
The government. Do you really trust the government

00:38:41.460 --> 00:38:46.480
to make that definition? The whole point of the

00:38:46.480 --> 00:38:49.599
First Amendment is like, do not trust the government.

00:38:50.480 --> 00:38:53.039
Well, especially when they're wrong and there's

00:38:53.039 --> 00:38:56.199
no repercussions. Like with the whole lab leak

00:38:56.199 --> 00:38:59.360
theory, you would get kicked off of YouTube if

00:38:59.360 --> 00:39:02.460
you even presented this argument that, hey, maybe

00:39:02.460 --> 00:39:05.500
that coronavirus lab where they're doing work

00:39:05.500 --> 00:39:08.119
on the exact same virus that got released. Yep.

00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:10.559
Hey, maybe that's where it came from since that's

00:39:10.559 --> 00:39:12.440
where the virus started. What do you think, guys?

00:39:12.599 --> 00:39:15.380
Yeah. They kick you right off of YouTube. Yeah.

00:39:16.659 --> 00:39:18.699
Yes, exactly. It's like, do you think maybe?

00:39:20.299 --> 00:39:22.940
It could have come from a place called the novel

00:39:22.940 --> 00:39:25.230
coronavirus. research institute like that john

00:39:25.230 --> 00:39:27.889
stewart bit that he did on colbert that was amazing

00:39:27.889 --> 00:39:30.409
what does it say on the door again uh can i see

00:39:30.409 --> 00:39:34.809
your business card and to see colbert like resisting

00:39:34.809 --> 00:39:37.550
it with every fiber of his being what's gonna

00:39:37.550 --> 00:39:39.909
happen to us he was totally cock blocking the

00:39:39.909 --> 00:39:41.949
bit to the point where john stewart got off his

00:39:41.949 --> 00:39:44.750
chair and started walking around trying to take

00:39:44.750 --> 00:39:48.289
control yeah and then the left tried to cancel

00:39:48.289 --> 00:39:50.309
john stewart of course yeah meanwhile he was

00:39:50.309 --> 00:39:52.769
right he's right and no apologies no apologies

00:39:53.380 --> 00:39:56.539
Yeah, and you know the whole Fauci thing, like

00:39:56.539 --> 00:39:59.119
any criticism of Fauci. It's like anti -science.

00:39:59.159 --> 00:40:01.659
Fauci's a freaking demon if you ask me. If you

00:40:01.659 --> 00:40:05.000
read RFK's book, the real Anthony Fauci, if that's

00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.340
correct, if the facts are in there that's true,

00:40:07.420 --> 00:40:09.420
it's all referenced, you could find the sources

00:40:09.420 --> 00:40:11.440
and on top of it, he's never been sued for that

00:40:11.440 --> 00:40:13.739
book, which doesn't make any sense. If he just

00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:16.039
made a bunch of lies up, he would get sued. Yes.

00:40:16.099 --> 00:40:18.739
So the guy's a monster. I think so. Yeah, I think

00:40:18.739 --> 00:40:22.079
so too. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I think like just...

00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:25.260
Looking at the lies that he told, the way he

00:40:25.260 --> 00:40:27.500
tried to define gain -of -function research to

00:40:27.500 --> 00:40:31.380
Rand Paul. I think maybe a lot of people out

00:40:31.380 --> 00:40:35.380
there don't realize Fauci funded the bioweapons

00:40:35.380 --> 00:40:38.340
research that was going on in Wuhan. He bank

00:40:38.340 --> 00:40:40.400
shot it off. You can't send the money directly

00:40:40.400 --> 00:40:42.260
to China, so he just bank shot it off EcoHealth,

00:40:42.320 --> 00:40:45.920
this fake nonprofit in the U .S., and they sent

00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.219
it to Wuhan. And Obama put the skids on that.

00:40:48.300 --> 00:40:50.960
He stopped that in 2014. I mean, so, you know,

00:40:50.980 --> 00:40:55.599
to give Obama some credit, he actually was like

00:40:55.599 --> 00:40:56.980
looking at this and saying, hey, this is crazy.

00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:04.840
And so he actually did stop the so -called gain

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:07.420
of function, again, a propaganda word, because

00:41:07.420 --> 00:41:09.340
what is the function they're talking about? Death.

00:41:11.710 --> 00:41:16.090
Right. So if you actually use the right word,

00:41:16.389 --> 00:41:19.429
this is, gain -of -function is death maximization.

00:41:20.150 --> 00:41:22.849
Right. Then you're like, oh, hey guys, should

00:41:22.849 --> 00:41:27.250
we fund bioweapon research into death maximization?

00:41:27.489 --> 00:41:28.929
Because that's what gain -of -function means.

00:41:29.510 --> 00:41:32.530
Yeah, it means making a disease so that people

00:41:32.530 --> 00:41:35.809
can get it. Give it to people. And by the way,

00:41:35.829 --> 00:41:37.269
what's that function again? Oh, the function

00:41:37.269 --> 00:41:39.769
is death. Oh, okay. So just call it a death maximizing

00:41:39.769 --> 00:41:42.530
virus. If you're doing research on that and the

00:41:42.530 --> 00:41:45.130
idea behind this research is so that we can cure

00:41:45.130 --> 00:41:46.670
these things. How come you don't have a fucking

00:41:46.670 --> 00:41:50.489
cure? Start with a cure. Cure first, disease

00:41:50.489 --> 00:41:52.630
second. It doesn't make any sense. Like you guys

00:41:52.630 --> 00:41:54.909
had no strategy for dealing with it if it got

00:41:54.909 --> 00:41:59.599
out? And so you have to make up this new vaccine

00:41:59.599 --> 00:42:03.119
in record time, Operation Warp Speed, release

00:42:03.119 --> 00:42:05.340
it to the people with very little testing. It's

00:42:05.340 --> 00:42:07.519
fucking crazy. It was crazy. The whole thing's

00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:09.320
crazy, and everybody just went along with it.

00:42:09.599 --> 00:42:12.239
Looney Tunes next level. Well, the PSYOP was

00:42:12.239 --> 00:42:14.699
fascinating to watch people step in line. That's

00:42:14.699 --> 00:42:16.239
like one of the biggest PSYOPs of all time. Of

00:42:16.239 --> 00:42:19.119
all time. Of all time. Of all time. And everybody

00:42:19.119 --> 00:42:22.539
got in line. And when you take it back to when

00:42:22.539 --> 00:42:25.019
pharmaceutical drug companies were able to advertise

00:42:25.019 --> 00:42:27.800
on media in the 1990s, that changed everything.

00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.179
We're one of two countries in the whole world

00:42:30.179 --> 00:42:32.900
that allows this. And because of that, because

00:42:32.900 --> 00:42:35.559
we don't have socialized medicine, it's a complete

00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:39.539
profit scam. And they went hard. Claiming all

00:42:39.539 --> 00:42:42.300
sorts of things that were never researched. All

00:42:42.300 --> 00:42:43.940
sorts of things that are not supported by data.

00:42:44.099 --> 00:42:45.880
Like the fact that it would stop transmission.

00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.320
The fact that it would stop infection. The fact

00:42:48.320 --> 00:42:50.000
that it was safe for pregnant women. The fact

00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:52.300
that it was safe for children. All of it's bullshit.

00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:54.900
Yes. And they pushed it on the whole world. And

00:42:54.900 --> 00:42:57.579
if you didn't say that at a cocktail party, you

00:42:57.579 --> 00:43:00.219
were a pariah. Yes. And you were an anti -vaxxer.

00:43:00.239 --> 00:43:02.579
It was totally psycho. It was like being a Holocaust

00:43:02.579 --> 00:43:05.000
denier. You got kicked out of polite society.

00:43:05.559 --> 00:43:08.969
Fuck you bananas. And I should say. I'm actually

00:43:08.969 --> 00:43:12.050
generally pro -vaccine overall. I think we should

00:43:12.050 --> 00:43:15.690
look at these things. But I believe in the scientific

00:43:15.690 --> 00:43:19.710
method. So you never blanket accept anything.

00:43:19.969 --> 00:43:22.579
You never blanket accept that any... any given

00:43:22.579 --> 00:43:25.880
medication or any given treatment is 100 % good,

00:43:26.099 --> 00:43:27.719
you should always deal with some skepticism.

00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:29.619
Especially when you're getting the data from

00:43:29.619 --> 00:43:31.739
pharmaceutical drug companies that have a long

00:43:31.739 --> 00:43:36.019
history of criminal conduct. They've got a vested

00:43:36.019 --> 00:43:38.820
interest in the research. It's sort of like asking

00:43:38.820 --> 00:43:42.179
tobacco companies about whether smoking is dangerous.

00:43:42.659 --> 00:43:45.079
It's exactly the same thing. According to our

00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:47.659
scientists, everything's fine. They lied in court

00:43:47.659 --> 00:43:49.940
forever. The same thing they did with OxyContin.

00:43:50.079 --> 00:43:52.559
They said that it wasn't addictive. They have

00:43:52.559 --> 00:43:54.820
a long history of being full of shit if it makes

00:43:54.820 --> 00:43:56.559
them money. And that's what they do. That's their

00:43:56.559 --> 00:43:58.440
business. They've literally lost multi -billion

00:43:58.440 --> 00:44:04.340
dollar lawsuits. Massive. You have amazing scientists,

00:44:04.639 --> 00:44:06.820
right? You have these clinical researchers, these

00:44:06.820 --> 00:44:08.980
people that develop these incredible drugs, and

00:44:08.980 --> 00:44:12.260
this is their job. Their job is to figure out

00:44:12.260 --> 00:44:14.980
some new way to cure something, some new way

00:44:14.980 --> 00:44:17.159
to stop things. And then you have the money people.

00:44:17.380 --> 00:44:20.800
And the problem is when you have this one thing

00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:23.500
that You would assume they're only doing it to

00:44:23.500 --> 00:44:25.880
help people. And then they have this other faction

00:44:25.880 --> 00:44:28.840
that just numbers people. And all they give a

00:44:28.840 --> 00:44:31.360
fuck about is maximizing profits and making sure

00:44:31.360 --> 00:44:34.780
they literally have an obligation to their shareholders.

00:44:35.059 --> 00:44:36.840
They have to make the most amount of money possible.

00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:39.039
And so they just want to push it on everybody.

00:44:39.300 --> 00:44:42.940
Like the Vioxx scandal. There's internal emails

00:44:42.940 --> 00:44:44.980
showing they knew there was going to be cardiovascular

00:44:44.980 --> 00:44:46.900
events. People were going to get strokes. And

00:44:46.900 --> 00:44:48.840
they're like, I think we're still going to do

00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:51.230
well. And they did. They made like. $12 billion,

00:44:51.610 --> 00:44:55.010
they got fined seven, and 50 to 60 ,000 people

00:44:55.010 --> 00:44:57.809
died. Holy shit. Yeah. One of them was a friend

00:44:57.809 --> 00:45:00.070
of mine got a stroke. And died? Yeah, no, he

00:45:00.070 --> 00:45:02.650
didn't die. He lived, but he was a really healthy

00:45:02.650 --> 00:45:03.989
guy. He was an athlete. But he was like not the

00:45:03.989 --> 00:45:05.409
same after his eyes. Yeah, he had knee problems,

00:45:05.530 --> 00:45:07.829
and he took Vioxx, and all of a sudden he was

00:45:07.829 --> 00:45:09.889
slurring his words, and he couldn't concentrate,

00:45:09.969 --> 00:45:11.469
and people were like, I think you're having a

00:45:11.469 --> 00:45:13.030
fucking stroke, and they took him to the hospital.

00:45:13.050 --> 00:45:15.730
And then you have this giant class action lawsuit,

00:45:16.030 --> 00:45:17.710
and then Vioxx gets pulled from the market, and

00:45:17.710 --> 00:45:19.650
they get sued, and the whole thing's fucking

00:45:19.650 --> 00:45:22.570
crazy. But there's a long history of this. I

00:45:22.570 --> 00:45:25.070
think, what is the number? Like one -third of

00:45:25.070 --> 00:45:27.130
the drugs that the FDA approves gets pulled?

00:45:28.460 --> 00:45:31.539
fucking bananas that's crazy that's crazy you're

00:45:31.539 --> 00:45:34.179
shitty at one third of the things that you say

00:45:34.179 --> 00:45:37.460
are okay but yet you're trying to stop mdma therapy

00:45:37.460 --> 00:45:40.460
for veterans yeah they should let mdma through

00:45:40.460 --> 00:45:42.900
honestly I think that would actually help a lot

00:45:42.900 --> 00:45:45.059
of people. It would help a lot of people. It

00:45:45.059 --> 00:45:46.440
would help a lot of people. There's a lot of

00:45:46.440 --> 00:45:49.099
different therapies, specifically psilocybin,

00:45:49.219 --> 00:45:51.300
Ibogaine. The fact that you have to go to Mexico

00:45:51.300 --> 00:45:54.559
to get Ibogaine therapy for veterans. So many

00:45:54.559 --> 00:45:56.519
guys I've talked to have gone over there, and

00:45:56.519 --> 00:45:59.139
it's like completely giving them a clean slate,

00:45:59.340 --> 00:46:02.440
refresh their mind, and totally new perspective

00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.579
on life, alleviated depression, cured addictions.

00:46:06.099 --> 00:46:10.420
Illegal. Illegal. Oxycontin, go get it. Yeah.

00:46:11.750 --> 00:46:14.150
And I know some people who, like, their life

00:46:14.150 --> 00:46:17.050
was ruined by OxyContin. Oh, yeah. Because, I

00:46:17.050 --> 00:46:19.329
mean, it really depends on, you know, somebody's

00:46:19.329 --> 00:46:23.230
individual biochemistry. Like, to me, like, opioids

00:46:23.230 --> 00:46:25.070
are not addictive to me. Like, you know, I've

00:46:25.070 --> 00:46:26.690
had them when I've had operations or something,

00:46:26.769 --> 00:46:31.809
and they barely affect my pain level, and they

00:46:31.809 --> 00:46:34.289
make me, like, itchy and uncomfortable. They

00:46:34.289 --> 00:46:39.510
make me stupid. Exactly. But I'm like, so, like...

00:46:40.010 --> 00:46:42.150
Like, I could never get addicted to alcohol or

00:46:42.150 --> 00:46:44.449
opioids. It's just impossible. Like, because

00:46:44.449 --> 00:46:47.789
my biochemistry just does not have... But I love

00:46:47.789 --> 00:46:51.449
tasty food. I feel like, you know, if there's...

00:46:51.839 --> 00:46:56.440
I'm addicted to tasty food, sure. But I have

00:46:56.440 --> 00:46:58.679
a whole wall of alcohol that's there for decoration.

00:46:58.920 --> 00:47:02.320
I feel the same way. I could easily quit alcohol.

00:47:02.460 --> 00:47:04.639
I mean, I'll go weeks without having a drink.

00:47:04.659 --> 00:47:06.099
It doesn't bother me at all. But I know some

00:47:06.099 --> 00:47:07.619
people, they have one drink and they're off to

00:47:07.619 --> 00:47:10.300
the races. And that's the difference in the biochemical

00:47:10.300 --> 00:47:12.900
differences that we all have. I mean, I think

00:47:12.900 --> 00:47:15.019
that's the case with a lot of addictions. I'm

00:47:15.019 --> 00:47:17.099
not addicted to gambling, but I get it. I see

00:47:17.099 --> 00:47:20.969
it. I've seen it in people. I have this aversion

00:47:20.969 --> 00:47:22.670
to things that I know are going to ruin my life.

00:47:24.170 --> 00:47:26.250
That's why I've never tried cocaine. I just saw

00:47:26.250 --> 00:47:29.170
too many people. It looks too fun. I don't want

00:47:29.170 --> 00:47:32.250
to get involved. I think generally for any given

00:47:32.250 --> 00:47:37.289
drug, legal or illegal, the question is... Can

00:47:37.289 --> 00:47:39.710
you complete the following sentence? Blank made

00:47:39.710 --> 00:47:44.210
me a better person. Meth. Like I've never heard

00:47:44.210 --> 00:47:46.210
anyone say meth made them a better person or

00:47:46.210 --> 00:47:48.469
cocaine made them a better person. No. Ever.

00:47:49.210 --> 00:47:52.929
Made a lot of soldiers better, I think. Yeah.

00:47:53.070 --> 00:47:55.690
I mean, if you're doing, if you're like, if your

00:47:55.690 --> 00:47:57.769
soldiers need to march for three days in a row.

00:47:58.030 --> 00:48:01.789
Yeah. It's really good for that. Effective at

00:48:01.789 --> 00:48:05.769
that, you know. People give France a hard time

00:48:05.769 --> 00:48:09.369
about capitulating in World War II. But you know

00:48:09.369 --> 00:48:12.929
what's worse than Nazis? Nazis on meth. Meth

00:48:12.929 --> 00:48:16.110
on Nazis. They're not stopping. Norman Ohler

00:48:16.110 --> 00:48:17.150
wrote this book. They'll have like six bullets.

00:48:17.369 --> 00:48:20.889
They're still coming. That book over there, Blitzed,

00:48:20.889 --> 00:48:23.929
is all about the use of methamphetamines and

00:48:23.929 --> 00:48:25.849
the different drugs that they gave their soldiers.

00:48:26.210 --> 00:48:27.610
The guys at the front of the line, they gave

00:48:27.610 --> 00:48:29.690
the most meth. Yes. They have different dosages.

00:48:29.969 --> 00:48:33.679
Yeah. I mean, you just basically think you're

00:48:33.679 --> 00:48:36.480
invulnerable on meth. And so it's one thing,

00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:40.420
like I said, it's one thing to have the Nazis

00:48:40.420 --> 00:48:41.800
coming after you. But Nazis on meth, you're like,

00:48:41.860 --> 00:48:43.219
holy shit, those fuckers are not stopping me.

00:48:43.579 --> 00:48:46.139
For three days. They're not stopping. It's so

00:48:46.139 --> 00:48:48.780
crazy. Yeah. Yeah, that's not a statement, meth

00:48:48.780 --> 00:48:50.539
made me a better person, that you hear very often.

00:48:50.539 --> 00:48:51.840
I've never heard that before. No, you hear a

00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.400
lot of psilocybin advocates. You hear a lot of

00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:56.840
people that talk about psychedelics. Exactly.

00:48:56.940 --> 00:49:00.280
I've actually heard many people say that LSD.

00:49:01.219 --> 00:49:05.159
or mushrooms or MDMA made them a better person.

00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:08.820
Many people. So that's why I'm like, I think

00:49:08.820 --> 00:49:10.820
a rule for the FDA should be like, hey, look,

00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:13.119
if you can complete the sentence, legal or illegal,

00:49:13.340 --> 00:49:16.980
that blank made you a better person, actually,

00:49:17.179 --> 00:49:21.400
then you got a good drug. And if you can't, you

00:49:21.400 --> 00:49:23.800
got a bad drug. Also, if there's drugs that are

00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:25.860
available right now that can absolutely ruin

00:49:25.860 --> 00:49:29.400
people's lives, the rationalization for stopping

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:31.599
other drugs that might ruin people's lives but

00:49:31.599 --> 00:49:33.900
also can help a lot of people's lives, it doesn't

00:49:33.900 --> 00:49:36.699
make any sense. It's basically the same thing

00:49:36.699 --> 00:49:39.280
as censorship. You're taking away people's ability

00:49:39.280 --> 00:49:41.780
to discern what's true and not true. And you're

00:49:41.780 --> 00:49:43.639
taking away people's ability to discern what's

00:49:43.639 --> 00:49:45.539
good for you and not good for you. And the way

00:49:45.539 --> 00:49:47.460
to find that out is to have as much information

00:49:47.460 --> 00:49:50.539
as possible. So to do research and actually to

00:49:50.539 --> 00:49:55.460
have. unbiased, actual objective observers who

00:49:55.460 --> 00:49:56.739
are looking at all this stuff that give you real

00:49:56.739 --> 00:50:00.409
data. Yes. The opposite of that or the counter

00:50:00.409 --> 00:50:03.409
is like if you don't do that, you're empowering

00:50:03.409 --> 00:50:06.570
cartels. Yes. That's the whole reason why they

00:50:06.570 --> 00:50:08.769
have all that money. It's because it's illegal

00:50:08.769 --> 00:50:11.789
to sell these drugs in America. The demand is

00:50:11.789 --> 00:50:14.949
never going away. So instead of like limiting

00:50:14.949 --> 00:50:17.769
the amount of drugs, now you've got toxic drugs

00:50:17.769 --> 00:50:20.070
because fentanyl and all this other shit because

00:50:20.070 --> 00:50:22.610
they're not pure. So you're just killing people.

00:50:22.829 --> 00:50:25.530
You're not saving anybody by protecting them

00:50:25.530 --> 00:50:28.500
from themselves. True. But it's a tricky situation

00:50:28.500 --> 00:50:30.500
because what do you do? Like if you just like

00:50:30.500 --> 00:50:33.380
say, OK, now everyone can sell all these people

00:50:33.380 --> 00:50:35.920
that have been selling boner pills. Now you can

00:50:35.920 --> 00:50:41.800
sell meth. Like, holy shit. You get the double

00:50:41.800 --> 00:50:45.719
combo with the Viagra. It's a Viagra and a meth.

00:50:45.900 --> 00:50:49.119
Right. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

00:50:49.239 --> 00:50:50.900
Well, I mean, how many people are already doing

00:50:50.900 --> 00:50:52.219
that right now with Adderall and Viagra? A bunch

00:50:52.219 --> 00:50:54.260
of people are doing that. Yeah. There's a lot

00:50:54.260 --> 00:50:56.619
of people out there that are essentially on meth.

00:50:56.719 --> 00:51:00.300
especially people that abuse Adderall, they're

00:51:00.300 --> 00:51:03.519
basically amphetamined up all day long. Yeah,

00:51:03.539 --> 00:51:10.800
Adderall is low -grade amphetamine. Yeah. I have

00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.340
actually seen people become much worse people

00:51:13.340 --> 00:51:15.280
if they take too much Adderall, like much worse.

00:51:15.739 --> 00:51:20.230
It's like an anger amplifier. Yes. Now, I'm not

00:51:20.230 --> 00:51:21.650
saying – like Adderall is something like where

00:51:21.650 --> 00:51:23.730
there are pluses and minuses. It's not a clear

00:51:23.730 --> 00:51:26.250
-cut issue. It does help some people a great

00:51:26.250 --> 00:51:31.630
deal. But in higher doses, man, that stuff I've

00:51:31.630 --> 00:51:33.710
seen people turn into just raging monsters on

00:51:33.710 --> 00:51:38.289
high doses of Adderall. They're just angry, like

00:51:38.289 --> 00:51:41.750
extremely angry all the time. Yeah. They're messed

00:51:41.750 --> 00:51:44.750
up. Yeah. That's what happens if you take meth.

00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:48.559
It's crazy. Myth turns you into a freaking rage

00:51:48.559 --> 00:51:52.440
demon. And so many prescriptions. And I'm like,

00:51:52.440 --> 00:51:55.659
Jesus. We Googled it. One year, there was like

00:51:55.659 --> 00:51:58.199
39 million prescriptions for Adderall in this

00:51:58.199 --> 00:52:00.800
country. Oh, yeah. And like once in a while there's

00:52:00.800 --> 00:52:02.039
like an Adderall shortage and like there's like

00:52:02.039 --> 00:52:04.860
widespread panic, you know. And then what do

00:52:04.860 --> 00:52:06.760
people do? And then it's the same thing as like

00:52:06.760 --> 00:52:09.539
when they tried to like limit the amount of Oxycontin.

00:52:09.539 --> 00:52:11.659
Well, people go to street heroin. And if you're

00:52:11.659 --> 00:52:14.659
addicted to Adderall and your dealer, the guy

00:52:14.659 --> 00:52:16.559
who sells you weed is like, hey, man, I can get

00:52:16.559 --> 00:52:18.760
you like low -grade meth, like the stuff the

00:52:18.760 --> 00:52:21.119
Nazis took. Well, they had high -grade meth.

00:52:21.239 --> 00:52:22.519
Actually, they had pharmaceutical -grade. They

00:52:22.519 --> 00:52:27.159
had epic meth. It was like made by – like pharmaceutical

00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:32.360
-grade meth is going to be – I mean, if you just

00:52:32.360 --> 00:52:35.039
look at the freaking online Wikipedia page, but

00:52:35.039 --> 00:52:36.820
there's like many different versions of meth,

00:52:36.920 --> 00:52:39.340
like not all the same. And they have different

00:52:39.340 --> 00:52:43.199
effects. But like pharmaceutical grade pure meth,

00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:46.000
you are going to be, oh my God, super productive

00:52:46.000 --> 00:52:49.860
for a certain period of time. And you're not

00:52:49.860 --> 00:52:52.980
going to sleep for a while. And then you will

00:52:52.980 --> 00:52:57.519
have some anger management issues. So like they

00:52:57.519 --> 00:53:03.719
actually – the Nazis, they did actually roll

00:53:03.719 --> 00:53:07.239
back how much meth they were using because they

00:53:07.239 --> 00:53:11.179
had quite a few incidents of the soldiers killing

00:53:11.179 --> 00:53:13.860
their officers because they were on too much

00:53:13.860 --> 00:53:21.880
meth. Jesus Christ. Too many officers got dragged

00:53:21.880 --> 00:53:26.719
by their platoon that was on too much meth. That

00:53:26.719 --> 00:53:31.699
happened quite a few times. When someone's on

00:53:31.699 --> 00:53:37.000
a lot of meth, they can get very angry. Did you

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:40.659
ever pay attention to when John McAfee was cooking

00:53:40.659 --> 00:53:44.289
meth in a lab in his backyard? I'm actually quite

00:53:44.289 --> 00:53:47.090
a character. He was a character character. We

00:53:47.090 --> 00:53:48.829
had him on the podcast when he was on the run

00:53:48.829 --> 00:53:51.550
So he called in from an undisclosed location

00:53:51.550 --> 00:53:54.449
when he was running from where was he Costa Rica?

00:53:54.570 --> 00:53:57.110
Is that where he was Belize Belize? Right. So

00:53:57.110 --> 00:53:59.010
when he was running from the authorities, yeah,

00:53:59.050 --> 00:54:01.170
he called in we had him on the podcast on the

00:54:01.170 --> 00:54:04.869
run and I was asking him about these posts like

00:54:04.869 --> 00:54:06.789
because there was an online account that was

00:54:06.789 --> 00:54:09.489
linked to him where he had this very detailed

00:54:09.489 --> 00:54:13.000
laboratory like super sophisticated. Yeah The

00:54:13.000 --> 00:54:16.260
best math. Like a super genius cooking math.

00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:20.440
I mean, I think he had this lab. He was making

00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:26.940
a wide range of drugs. And I talked to actually

00:54:26.940 --> 00:54:34.260
a reporter who went down and interviewed him

00:54:34.260 --> 00:54:37.829
in Belize. And Portsmouth Man, that's one of

00:54:37.829 --> 00:54:40.590
the scariest things. He was quite terrified.

00:54:40.949 --> 00:54:44.570
So one of the things that McAfee – he had, I

00:54:44.570 --> 00:54:46.989
guess, this trick where he would play Russian

00:54:46.989 --> 00:54:50.230
roulette with himself. So he would put a bullet

00:54:50.230 --> 00:54:53.550
in the revolver, and they'd spin the chain. And

00:54:53.550 --> 00:54:56.670
clearly he had some trick to know that it was

00:54:56.670 --> 00:55:01.340
not – there's some – you know, way that he knows

00:55:01.340 --> 00:55:03.760
it's not the right bullet. But I do wonder, like,

00:55:03.760 --> 00:55:06.079
if McAfee's high and he does that, he's not always

00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:07.420
going to get the trick right, you know? Do you

00:55:07.420 --> 00:55:11.000
show he had a trick? Yeah, so according to this

00:55:11.000 --> 00:55:14.760
reporter, when he went to visit McAfee in Belize,

00:55:14.920 --> 00:55:18.000
McAfee took out the revolver, put a bullet in

00:55:18.000 --> 00:55:20.159
the revolver, spun the chamber, and then pointed

00:55:20.159 --> 00:55:22.059
it at his head and went, click. And the reporter's

00:55:22.059 --> 00:55:23.280
like saying, please don't do this. Like, this

00:55:23.280 --> 00:55:28.000
is insane. Click, click, click. and then pointed

00:55:28.000 --> 00:55:29.860
the gun at the ground, and next went click, bang,

00:55:30.039 --> 00:55:33.000
and shot a bullet in the ground. Jesus. That's

00:55:33.000 --> 00:55:36.280
a hell of a potty trick. Jesus. That's the next

00:55:36.280 --> 00:55:37.440
level potty trick. That's the guy who's seen

00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:39.559
The Deer Hunter too many times. Yes. Remember

00:55:39.559 --> 00:55:42.300
that scene? Yeah. When they were forcing? Yes.

00:55:42.480 --> 00:55:45.099
Yeah. That's a heavy scene. That's a heavy scene.

00:55:45.380 --> 00:55:47.039
De Niro and Christopher Walken, that's one of

00:55:47.039 --> 00:55:48.840
the greatest scenes in any movie ever. I remember

00:55:48.840 --> 00:55:51.400
watching that scene just clawing at my pants.

00:55:54.659 --> 00:55:58.159
McAfee was a wild boy. Wild. And, you know, created

00:55:58.159 --> 00:56:01.880
brilliant antivirus software. Yeah. Yeah. He

00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:04.400
may have made some of the viruses, too. You think

00:56:04.400 --> 00:56:07.119
so? It's possible. Well, didn't he, like, give

00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:09.219
laptops to a bunch of government organizations?

00:56:09.699 --> 00:56:11.739
With viruses on them, yeah. Yeah. So that he

00:56:11.739 --> 00:56:13.099
could, like, pay attention to what they were

00:56:13.099 --> 00:56:16.480
doing? Yeah, yeah. Yeah. I wouldn't be surprised

00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:18.059
if somebody whacked that guy. I don't know what

00:56:18.059 --> 00:56:20.679
happened to him, but he would be a guy that would

00:56:20.679 --> 00:56:22.579
be like, this guy is a little bit too loose.

00:56:23.940 --> 00:56:25.699
And probably had sensitive information. I don't

00:56:25.699 --> 00:56:28.969
know. For sure he did. I mean, I found him to

00:56:28.969 --> 00:56:31.590
be an interesting guy. I mean, like I'm generally

00:56:31.590 --> 00:56:34.869
like feel like if somebody is not harming someone

00:56:34.869 --> 00:56:38.090
else, they should be okay. Now, there is some

00:56:38.090 --> 00:56:41.110
suggestion that McAfee like killed his neighbor

00:56:41.110 --> 00:56:45.909
in Belize. Yeah. Probably did. Maybe the neighbor

00:56:45.909 --> 00:56:47.829
was a douchebag. I think he probably did. Seems

00:56:47.829 --> 00:56:49.269
like he probably did. Seems like the neighbor

00:56:49.269 --> 00:56:51.809
killed his dog. Yes. Right? And then it seems

00:56:51.809 --> 00:56:53.610
like he killed the neighbor. Yeah. Allegedly.

00:56:53.650 --> 00:56:57.530
Yeah. I mean. It seems likely. It's not a zero

00:56:57.530 --> 00:57:01.670
possibility. It's definitely not a zero. It seems

00:57:01.670 --> 00:57:03.750
more likely than not. He's a messed up wild man

00:57:03.750 --> 00:57:05.369
playing Russian roulette. Hey, maybe you killed

00:57:05.369 --> 00:57:07.510
your fucking neighbor. Yes. I mean, if somebody

00:57:07.510 --> 00:57:09.070
killed your dog, you'd be really inclined to

00:57:09.070 --> 00:57:11.409
kill them too. Yeah. Somebody killed your squirrel.

00:57:11.610 --> 00:57:14.690
John Wick. Yeah. The fucking squirrel thing is

00:57:14.690 --> 00:57:17.250
bananas. Yeah. That squirrel thing in New York?

00:57:17.989 --> 00:57:20.849
So here's the thing about the whole squirrel

00:57:20.849 --> 00:57:25.019
thing is that... How can it be that we live in

00:57:25.019 --> 00:57:28.460
America, supposedly land of the free, and the

00:57:28.460 --> 00:57:31.980
government can barge into your home with guns?

00:57:32.800 --> 00:57:36.099
So if you resist, you're going to get shot. And

00:57:36.099 --> 00:57:41.760
then take your pets and execute them. And if

00:57:41.760 --> 00:57:44.000
they can do that to your pets, what do you think

00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:48.079
they can do to you? It's not an exaggeration.

00:57:48.579 --> 00:57:51.500
Absolutely. It sounds like you're, oh, that's

00:57:51.500 --> 00:57:53.500
so crazy. How can you make that connection? But

00:57:53.500 --> 00:57:56.539
why would you kill that cute little squirrel

00:57:56.539 --> 00:57:58.679
that was obviously a pet and trained from the

00:57:58.679 --> 00:58:00.980
time it was a baby? If you see the interaction

00:58:00.980 --> 00:58:03.000
that guy has with that squirrel, it was wonderful.

00:58:03.239 --> 00:58:06.860
It was really cute. Yes, absolutely. It was just

00:58:06.860 --> 00:58:10.099
obviously, it was a beloved pet squirrel and

00:58:10.099 --> 00:58:16.300
a raccoon too. And during no harm. And the government.

00:58:16.860 --> 00:58:19.639
comes in, barges into the guy's house, takes

00:58:19.639 --> 00:58:24.139
his pets and kills them. And, you know, I think

00:58:24.139 --> 00:58:27.340
this should really get people out there mobilized,

00:58:27.340 --> 00:58:30.340
frankly, because, you know, you say that like

00:58:30.340 --> 00:58:32.559
the John Wick movie, where John Wick's like,

00:58:32.739 --> 00:58:35.570
you know, he wants to... He just wants peace,

00:58:35.710 --> 00:58:37.530
like, you know, in the John Wick movie. He's

00:58:37.530 --> 00:58:39.869
like, listen, I want to retire. And they offer

00:58:39.869 --> 00:58:42.170
him, like, tons of money because they want him

00:58:42.170 --> 00:58:43.730
to be an assassin, to keep being an assassin.

00:58:44.409 --> 00:58:47.389
They, like, offer him tons of money. They threaten

00:58:47.389 --> 00:58:49.110
him. He's like, listen, I'm not going to be –

00:58:49.110 --> 00:58:52.889
I'm out, you know. And they kill his dog. That

00:58:52.889 --> 00:58:58.170
was a bad idea. That was a really – They kill

00:58:58.170 --> 00:59:00.150
that cute little puppy. And the puppy was his

00:59:00.150 --> 00:59:02.989
ex -wife's gift to him when she died of cancer.

00:59:03.250 --> 00:59:06.119
Yeah. Great movie. Great movie. The best revenge

00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:09.420
movie of all time. Because it's so ridiculous.

00:59:09.559 --> 00:59:12.460
It kills everybody. It kills everyone. And you're

00:59:12.460 --> 00:59:15.179
rooting for him. Yeah. They shouldn't have killed

00:59:15.179 --> 00:59:17.420
his dog. Yeah, they fucked up. And they shouldn't

00:59:17.420 --> 00:59:18.480
have killed that squirrel. They shouldn't have

00:59:18.480 --> 00:59:22.219
killed that fucking, that squirrel. I mean, it's

00:59:22.219 --> 00:59:25.159
like, how many, how many cases have we not heard

00:59:25.159 --> 00:59:28.579
about? You know? Aw, look at that little guy.

00:59:29.389 --> 00:59:32.570
And that squirrel clearly had a love relationship

00:59:32.570 --> 00:59:35.230
with that guy. He would hop all over him and

00:59:35.230 --> 00:59:39.030
climb on him. I mean, that was his pet. That

00:59:39.030 --> 00:59:42.349
squirrel thought of that man as his protector,

00:59:42.530 --> 00:59:46.170
as his companion. There was nothing wrong with

00:59:46.170 --> 00:59:48.590
that. And in Texas, it's totally legal. You can

00:59:48.590 --> 00:59:50.750
have a fucking zebra out here. You can have whatever

00:59:50.750 --> 00:59:53.670
you want. And that's the argument for freedom.

00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:55.800
You know, the flip side is you get a bunch of

00:59:55.800 --> 00:59:57.739
people with tigers in their backyard, which is

00:59:57.739 --> 01:00:01.280
not great. It's like this was a fucking squirrel.

01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:05.949
It's not an anaconda or a, you know. You know,

01:00:05.949 --> 01:00:07.550
crocodile or something that's going to harm you.

01:00:07.550 --> 01:00:09.849
Or a chimpanzee. Did you see Chimp Crazy? Oh,

01:00:09.869 --> 01:00:13.969
man. Chimps will eat your face. They will fuck

01:00:13.969 --> 01:00:16.469
you up. They will fuck you up. The thing is,

01:00:16.489 --> 01:00:18.070
they don't even kill you. They just cripple you.

01:00:18.369 --> 01:00:20.449
Chimps don't even kill people, which is really

01:00:20.449 --> 01:00:22.690
weird. They just bite your hands off and bite

01:00:22.690 --> 01:00:25.389
your dick off and tear your face apart. Yes.

01:00:25.489 --> 01:00:27.190
They want to leave you. They could kill you easily.

01:00:27.269 --> 01:00:28.829
If a chimp wanted to just punch you in the head

01:00:28.829 --> 01:00:31.170
until you're dead, it wouldn't take long. But

01:00:31.170 --> 01:00:33.250
they don't kill you. They just rip you apart.

01:00:33.989 --> 01:00:38.519
Yeah. And you can have a chimp. Well, you used

01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:39.920
to be able to have a chimp in a lot of states,

01:00:40.119 --> 01:00:42.000
and then Chimp Crazy kind of exposed a lot of

01:00:42.000 --> 01:00:43.820
that, and PETA did a great job of stopping people

01:00:43.820 --> 01:00:46.280
from keeping chimps as pets. Because once they

01:00:46.280 --> 01:00:48.199
hit, like, five, you can't control them anymore.

01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:49.880
Well, it's obviously totally understandable if

01:00:49.880 --> 01:00:52.900
somebody's got... you know, a creature that is

01:00:52.900 --> 01:00:55.059
dangerous to others. But, like, obviously a squirrel

01:00:55.059 --> 01:00:56.980
and a raccoon are not. Well, squirrels are fucking

01:00:56.980 --> 01:00:59.059
everywhere. That's what's so crazy. Like, why

01:00:59.059 --> 01:01:00.880
can't you have it in the house? What kind of

01:01:00.880 --> 01:01:02.840
rules are we dealing with? You have rats everywhere.

01:01:03.320 --> 01:01:07.519
Yeah. I mean, they're allowing criminals to go

01:01:07.519 --> 01:01:09.320
free and, like, violent criminals to go free,

01:01:09.380 --> 01:01:11.019
but they're, like, spending your tax dollars

01:01:11.019 --> 01:01:13.400
to come in and execute your fucking pets. What

01:01:13.400 --> 01:01:15.840
the hell is going on? Exactly. And it's, like...

01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:20.559
But it's overreach. It's government overreach,

01:01:20.619 --> 01:01:22.320
and this just keeps getting worse every year.

01:01:22.599 --> 01:01:27.000
And that's why we've got to fight back against

01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:33.519
this. People say, well, it's just a squirrel.

01:01:33.719 --> 01:01:36.679
Well, in John Wick's case, it was just a dog.

01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:42.659
Right. Yeah. Remember the Russian guy said, it's

01:01:42.659 --> 01:01:45.820
a fucking dog. It's just a fucking dog. It's

01:01:45.820 --> 01:01:49.550
just a fucking squirrel. Yeah. Well, it's the

01:01:49.550 --> 01:01:53.670
funniest thing. I just don't understand how anybody

01:01:53.670 --> 01:01:57.849
could justify it. It seems to me that in a logical

01:01:57.849 --> 01:01:59.369
world, all that guy would have to do is say,

01:01:59.489 --> 01:02:01.929
why don't you see me with this squirrel? This

01:02:01.929 --> 01:02:04.449
squirrel's a pet. Like, look, he hops on me.

01:02:04.670 --> 01:02:07.550
He eats. He sleeps. I can keep a gerbil, but

01:02:07.550 --> 01:02:09.170
I can't keep a squirrel. I can have a guinea

01:02:09.170 --> 01:02:11.670
pig. I can't have a squirrel. I can have a chinchilla.

01:02:12.010 --> 01:02:14.110
My daughter has a chinchilla. It's adorable.

01:02:14.690 --> 01:02:17.260
Adorable little thing. Climbs all over. Can't

01:02:17.260 --> 01:02:19.380
have a squirrel. Even if they did take a squirrel

01:02:19.380 --> 01:02:20.860
away, couldn't they have released it into the

01:02:20.860 --> 01:02:23.780
woods or something? Well, the idea is you have

01:02:23.780 --> 01:02:25.639
to euthanize it because it's used to being fed.

01:02:25.780 --> 01:02:27.940
It doesn't know how to forage. It won't be able

01:02:27.940 --> 01:02:31.559
to find a home. Squirrels are brutal. Squirrels

01:02:31.559 --> 01:02:33.179
are absolutely brutal to each other. They throw

01:02:33.179 --> 01:02:35.079
each other out of trees, which is one of the

01:02:35.079 --> 01:02:37.980
reasons why squirrels can fall from like 30 feet

01:02:37.980 --> 01:02:39.719
and just kind of bounce off the ground and live.

01:02:39.920 --> 01:02:43.519
It's a natural adaptation because squirrels...

01:02:43.849 --> 01:02:46.070
During mating, they bite each other. There used

01:02:46.070 --> 01:02:49.530
to be a rumor. There was a myth that squirrels

01:02:49.530 --> 01:02:53.869
bite each other's nuts off. Okay. That seems

01:02:53.869 --> 01:02:57.119
to be a myth. But it came out of the fact that

01:02:57.119 --> 01:03:00.179
squirrels are so ruthless during mating. So like

01:03:00.179 --> 01:03:02.699
one female is just running away. I have squirrels

01:03:02.699 --> 01:03:04.340
in my backyard. I watch it all the time. One

01:03:04.340 --> 01:03:06.820
female apparently goes into estrus and all the

01:03:06.820 --> 01:03:09.179
male squirrels fight to get to her. So they're

01:03:09.179 --> 01:03:11.159
running up trees and chasing each other around

01:03:11.159 --> 01:03:13.599
trees, literally throwing each other off trees

01:03:13.599 --> 01:03:17.239
to try to like. So if this poor little peanut,

01:03:17.340 --> 01:03:18.920
the squirrel, who's used to living with a guy

01:03:18.920 --> 01:03:21.579
in an apartment, like gets out there in the wild

01:03:21.579 --> 01:03:23.000
world. Well, fair enough. At least they have

01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:25.659
a chance. Yeah. At least he has a chance. How

01:03:25.659 --> 01:03:27.559
about just leave him with the guy? Yeah, leave

01:03:27.559 --> 01:03:29.199
him with the guy, for sure. What the fuck is

01:03:29.199 --> 01:03:30.679
wrong with you? Why are you killing that squirrel?

01:03:30.840 --> 01:03:33.099
It doesn't make any sense. Yeah, and then to

01:03:33.099 --> 01:03:34.760
add insult to injury, there were a bunch of people

01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:36.860
on the left who were actually posting that they're

01:03:36.860 --> 01:03:40.300
glad that MAGA squirrel got killed. MAGA squirrel.

01:03:40.719 --> 01:03:43.039
The fucking squirrel has an ideology. It's a

01:03:43.039 --> 01:03:46.219
cute little fluffy squirrel. Exactly. Well, it's

01:03:46.219 --> 01:03:50.800
a nice symbol because most reasonable, compassionate

01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:53.179
people think that's terrible. And most people

01:03:53.179 --> 01:03:55.280
who have pets think it's terrible. Terrible.

01:03:57.340 --> 01:03:59.739
So I don't know. I hope people just go out there

01:03:59.739 --> 01:04:03.190
and vote for Peanut Man. If nothing else, just

01:04:03.190 --> 01:04:06.070
fucking vote for a peanut. They've done such

01:04:06.070 --> 01:04:09.469
a job of painting Trump as a monster. They've

01:04:09.469 --> 01:04:11.690
taken the worst things that he's ever said and

01:04:11.690 --> 01:04:14.389
he's not a perfect person. But guess what? No

01:04:14.389 --> 01:04:16.889
one's a perfect person. They don't exist. This

01:04:16.889 --> 01:04:19.329
purity test, like if Obama was a perfect person,

01:04:19.409 --> 01:04:22.429
he wouldn't be lying on stage about that very

01:04:22.429 --> 01:04:26.369
fine people hoax. Exactly. No one's going to

01:04:26.369 --> 01:04:30.190
be a perfect person. The thing that they didn't

01:04:30.190 --> 01:04:32.769
understand about Trump is he's so crazy that

01:04:32.769 --> 01:04:36.289
if you tell him, like, he can't be president.

01:04:36.349 --> 01:04:38.389
Like, remember Obama did that during that White

01:04:38.389 --> 01:04:40.170
House press correspondent? Here's one thing that

01:04:40.170 --> 01:04:42.829
I am that you'll never be. President of the United

01:04:42.829 --> 01:04:44.170
States. And you see Trump in the audience going,

01:04:44.269 --> 01:04:46.909
okay, motherfucker. You know, the funny thing

01:04:46.909 --> 01:04:50.869
is I was actually at that White House correspondent's

01:04:50.869 --> 01:04:52.909
dinner. Where, you know, it's supposed to be

01:04:52.909 --> 01:04:55.210
a roast of the president. Right. Trump's there.

01:04:55.670 --> 01:04:58.349
He's there. He's actually supporting, you know,

01:04:58.349 --> 01:05:01.030
basically if you go to the White House Correspondents'

01:05:01.050 --> 01:05:03.510
Dinner, you're there in support actually of the

01:05:03.510 --> 01:05:06.510
president and support of the press. Right. And

01:05:06.510 --> 01:05:08.909
it's meant to be that you're roasting the president.

01:05:09.150 --> 01:05:11.230
Like Trump's just there. He's like actually,

01:05:11.369 --> 01:05:13.449
you know, just he's like there as part of the

01:05:13.449 --> 01:05:16.300
support. And then. that turned it around and

01:05:16.300 --> 01:05:18.360
just started roasting Trump. And he's just sitting

01:05:18.360 --> 01:05:20.619
there. I'm like, he's like, yo, I just came to

01:05:20.619 --> 01:05:23.460
the dinner. I wasn't, I'm just here to support.

01:05:23.659 --> 01:05:26.260
We know what it was because of, right? The birther

01:05:26.260 --> 01:05:29.099
stuff. Oh, OK. That's what it all was. It was

01:05:29.099 --> 01:05:32.760
all Trump was at the head of a lot of these people

01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:35.880
spreading this rumor online that Obama's birth

01:05:35.880 --> 01:05:38.280
certificate was forged. Then he's actually from

01:05:38.280 --> 01:05:41.599
Kenya. And what's weird is if you go back to

01:05:41.599 --> 01:05:44.579
Obama's early days, there are some things that

01:05:44.579 --> 01:05:48.760
say he's from Kenya. Like I think it is something

01:05:48.760 --> 01:05:51.940
from college that he was from Kenya. But, you

01:05:51.940 --> 01:05:53.960
know, that could just be, you know, people. print

01:05:53.960 --> 01:05:56.079
things wrong all the time. It doesn't mean he's

01:05:56.079 --> 01:05:59.340
actually from Kenya. But Trump was one of those

01:05:59.340 --> 01:06:02.500
guys that was spreading that supposedly false

01:06:02.500 --> 01:06:04.940
rumor. Was he pushing it hard? This is the kind

01:06:04.940 --> 01:06:06.380
of thing where I want to just go and look at

01:06:06.380 --> 01:06:08.360
saying, what did he actually say? No, he definitely

01:06:08.360 --> 01:06:11.260
was. He was definitely saying, you know, look,

01:06:11.360 --> 01:06:14.900
he... I don't think he has the time to go into

01:06:14.900 --> 01:06:18.179
things like very deeply. Yeah. And so I think

01:06:18.179 --> 01:06:20.519
he could probably be influenced by a bunch of

01:06:20.519 --> 01:06:22.599
people like these Marjorie Taylor green type

01:06:22.599 --> 01:06:24.559
people come to him with some wild ass theory.

01:06:24.639 --> 01:06:27.679
Sure. He might be – and I think there's a lot

01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:30.639
of that stuff that gets fed to people on purpose

01:06:30.639 --> 01:06:33.360
so that they'll say incorrect things so that

01:06:33.360 --> 01:06:36.840
they're easy to dismiss. And I think there's

01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:38.960
also a lot of people that just make shit up and

01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:41.239
they tell you the earth is flat and then a bunch

01:06:41.239 --> 01:06:43.000
of people watch a YouTube video and they believe

01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:45.500
it. Yeah. Well, but on that White House correspondent,

01:06:45.739 --> 01:06:48.980
I was there and the degree to which they attacked

01:06:48.980 --> 01:06:53.039
Trump in that – at that White House correspondent

01:06:53.039 --> 01:06:55.840
was really – it was – So over the top, it was

01:06:55.840 --> 01:06:58.440
like making everyone uncomfortable. Really? It

01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:01.059
was really over the top. You know, I mean, I

01:07:01.059 --> 01:07:04.159
think like sort of a passing joke of like, you

01:07:04.159 --> 01:07:08.179
know, a few passing jokes are fine, but they

01:07:08.179 --> 01:07:11.559
twisted the knife big on Trump in that. And you

01:07:11.559 --> 01:07:13.280
could see Trump just getting like angrier and

01:07:13.280 --> 01:07:15.920
angrier and more and more upset. I wonder if

01:07:15.920 --> 01:07:17.420
that's because... And it's like, man, this is

01:07:17.420 --> 01:07:20.000
not good karma, you know? That's what I was thinking

01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:22.420
at the time. I'm literally two tables away from

01:07:22.420 --> 01:07:24.400
Trump and I'm looking and I'm like... Man, this

01:07:24.400 --> 01:07:27.219
is too much, you know? Well, it's kind of crazy

01:07:27.219 --> 01:07:30.400
what they made out of that, because that's the

01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:32.099
kind of guy that if you tell him he can't do

01:07:32.099 --> 01:07:34.460
something, he's going to just keep trying. It

01:07:34.460 --> 01:07:37.079
was a big mistake to rag on him so much at that

01:07:37.079 --> 01:07:38.420
White House Correspondence Center. Well, just

01:07:38.420 --> 01:07:41.039
look at the way they've attacked him just using

01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:44.539
the legal system, like this thing in New York

01:07:44.539 --> 01:07:47.940
where the 34 different felony counts are essentially

01:07:47.940 --> 01:07:51.800
misdemeanors. There are bookkeeping errors that

01:07:51.800 --> 01:07:54.179
they decided, even though it passed the statute

01:07:54.179 --> 01:07:56.559
of limitations, they decided. Try him for these.

01:07:56.679 --> 01:07:58.980
They didn't identify a felony. Abuse of the law

01:07:58.980 --> 01:08:01.920
is what's going on. But most people would have

01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:05.000
quit. Most people after the E. Jean Carroll lawsuit

01:08:05.000 --> 01:08:06.920
and this lawsuit and all the other ones, the

01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:09.380
insurrection thing, the Georgia thing, all these

01:08:09.380 --> 01:08:11.619
different things, getting kicked off of Twitter.

01:08:11.679 --> 01:08:12.960
Most people would have just like, this is too

01:08:12.960 --> 01:08:15.300
much. I can't take this. But he's so fucking

01:08:15.300 --> 01:08:17.859
crazy. He's like, all right, come on. We're going

01:08:17.859 --> 01:08:21.079
to war. And he just digs his fucking heels in

01:08:21.079 --> 01:08:24.760
and keeps going. It's the wrong guy to do that

01:08:24.760 --> 01:08:26.720
to. It is the wrong guy to do that to. Just like

01:08:26.720 --> 01:08:28.300
attacking him at the White House Correspondents

01:08:28.300 --> 01:08:30.079
Dinner. Most people would have been humiliated.

01:08:30.260 --> 01:08:32.739
He got angry. And he's like, yeah, all right.

01:08:32.840 --> 01:08:34.640
You say I can't be president? I've been thinking

01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:36.920
about running for about 15 fucking years. Finally,

01:08:37.100 --> 01:08:40.039
I'm going to run. Yeah. Yeah. That was a real

01:08:40.039 --> 01:08:44.380
bad move. But yeah, I mean, I can certainly understand

01:08:44.380 --> 01:08:46.420
like making some jokes about like, you know,

01:08:46.460 --> 01:08:50.279
a few sort of passing jokes on Trump. But man,

01:08:50.319 --> 01:08:52.859
I was there at that dinner and. that they ragged

01:08:52.859 --> 01:08:55.500
on Trump so much it was insane. The reason why

01:08:55.500 --> 01:08:58.319
I would push back on that, because I would say

01:08:58.319 --> 01:09:00.779
there's a bunch of different speakers, right?

01:09:00.920 --> 01:09:03.260
And Trump would obviously be a target. And if

01:09:03.260 --> 01:09:05.460
they all attacked him, it's because he's like,

01:09:05.619 --> 01:09:06.840
if you're going to make fun of people in the

01:09:06.840 --> 01:09:09.880
audience, and especially in the zeitgeist, that

01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:12.619
whole birther thing was big. And most people

01:09:12.619 --> 01:09:15.039
were dismissing it as being a ridiculous conspiracy

01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:17.819
theory. So who the fuck is this guy saying this?

01:09:17.880 --> 01:09:21.119
And so you have... eight to ten individual speakers

01:09:21.119 --> 01:09:24.159
that are writing monologues of course they're

01:09:24.159 --> 01:09:27.739
all going to hit trump yeah well anyway obviously

01:09:27.739 --> 01:09:29.539
it was a mistake yeah they shouldn't have done

01:09:29.539 --> 01:09:32.579
that and and but like i invite people to watch

01:09:32.579 --> 01:09:35.640
that the original source material and uh i think

01:09:35.640 --> 01:09:38.119
a few jokes are fine you know it's like but but

01:09:38.119 --> 01:09:40.300
it's like you shouldn't be like it felt like

01:09:40.300 --> 01:09:42.840
he was the primary object of the roast yeah which

01:09:42.840 --> 01:09:44.850
is that's that's not The whole point of the thing

01:09:44.850 --> 01:09:47.109
is to roast the president, not roast the audience.

01:09:47.369 --> 01:09:50.029
The thing about it is he's easy to roast. And

01:09:50.029 --> 01:09:53.489
then on top of that, Obama was loved and cherished

01:09:53.489 --> 01:09:55.949
by the left. And most of those people are on

01:09:55.949 --> 01:10:00.029
the left. There's only so far you can push. You

01:10:00.029 --> 01:10:03.550
can't ask him about his chef. What happened with

01:10:03.550 --> 01:10:06.449
the chef, bro? There's certain things you can't

01:10:06.449 --> 01:10:09.750
bring up. What's your favorite sport, paddle

01:10:09.750 --> 01:10:12.210
boarding? Yeah. Wasn't that guy a really good

01:10:12.210 --> 01:10:15.710
swimmer? Yeah. Tell me what happened. Yeah, exactly.

01:10:15.789 --> 01:10:18.310
You can't bring that up. If you're going to roast

01:10:18.310 --> 01:10:20.010
Hillary, you can't bring up the death count.

01:10:20.550 --> 01:10:22.109
Like Hillary, what's the best way to stay in

01:10:22.109 --> 01:10:27.789
touch? Email? Yeah. If you're doing one of those

01:10:27.789 --> 01:10:29.210
things. She destroyed the servers and poured

01:10:29.210 --> 01:10:31.789
like bleach on the servers, like computers. She

01:10:31.789 --> 01:10:33.090
poured bleach on them? That's what I saw. Yeah,

01:10:33.130 --> 01:10:35.050
that's what I believe. Wow. It wasn't just like

01:10:35.050 --> 01:10:36.789
they took a hammer to it. They like destroyed,

01:10:36.949 --> 01:10:39.850
like there was no possible way to actually get

01:10:39.850 --> 01:10:45.770
forensics on the thing. What was in there? That's

01:10:45.770 --> 01:10:48.609
what I mean. What was in there? Why would they

01:10:48.609 --> 01:10:51.770
care so much? That's so crazy. Yeah. The whole

01:10:51.770 --> 01:10:53.750
thing is so crazy. There was no legal action

01:10:53.750 --> 01:10:56.149
against that, which is clear destruction of evidence.

01:10:56.350 --> 01:10:57.909
Well, it's also, there's this other narrative

01:10:57.909 --> 01:11:00.869
that always drives me crazy, is that he's going

01:11:00.869 --> 01:11:03.630
to destroy democracy. So in order to destroy

01:11:03.630 --> 01:11:06.409
democracy, we have to install a president without

01:11:06.409 --> 01:11:09.090
a primary. We have to have a candidate that is

01:11:09.090 --> 01:11:13.810
the least liked vice president of all time. popular

01:11:13.810 --> 01:11:17.170
vice president of all time, and then use gaslighting

01:11:17.170 --> 01:11:19.970
and the full force of the media machine to turn

01:11:19.970 --> 01:11:23.789
her into the future and hope. And then she's

01:11:23.789 --> 01:11:25.590
going to be changed, even though she's a sitting

01:11:25.590 --> 01:11:28.090
vice president. And then on top of that, this

01:11:28.090 --> 01:11:30.270
idea of change when the Democrats have been in

01:11:30.270 --> 01:11:33.329
control for, what, 12 or 16 years? Right. Which

01:11:33.329 --> 01:11:36.630
is crazy. Like, this is the change. Yeah, I mean,

01:11:36.630 --> 01:11:39.090
obviously, I view this election as a turning

01:11:39.090 --> 01:11:41.689
point, like a fork in the road of destiny that

01:11:41.689 --> 01:11:44.930
is incredibly important. You know, I've not been

01:11:44.930 --> 01:11:47.890
politically active until this election. And the

01:11:47.890 --> 01:11:49.329
reason I've been politically active this election

01:11:49.329 --> 01:11:53.850
is because I think if we don't elect Trump, I

01:11:53.850 --> 01:11:58.529
think we will lose democracy in this country.

01:11:58.689 --> 01:12:02.090
We will lose the two -party system. And let me

01:12:02.090 --> 01:12:05.899
explain why. There's only like six or seven swing

01:12:05.899 --> 01:12:08.739
states. The margin of victory in those states

01:12:08.739 --> 01:12:11.119
is small, often like 10 ,000 or 20 ,000 votes.

01:12:11.779 --> 01:12:14.399
What the Democrat administration has been doing

01:12:14.399 --> 01:12:17.260
is importing vast numbers of illegals into swing

01:12:17.260 --> 01:12:19.819
states. You can look at the numbers on the actual

01:12:19.819 --> 01:12:22.060
government website. I mean, you don't take my

01:12:22.060 --> 01:12:24.119
word for it. You can just look at the numbers

01:12:24.119 --> 01:12:26.180
as reported by the government, which is controlled

01:12:26.180 --> 01:12:29.520
by the Democrats. And what we're seeing is triple

01:12:29.520 --> 01:12:31.239
-digit increases in the number of illegals in

01:12:31.239 --> 01:12:34.270
every swing state. In some cases, 700 % increases.

01:12:35.069 --> 01:12:39.489
These are gigantic numbers. So if you have a

01:12:39.489 --> 01:12:43.689
state that has a 10 ,000 or 20 ,000 vote margin,

01:12:43.729 --> 01:12:46.569
and you put 200 ,000 illegals into that state,

01:12:46.689 --> 01:12:49.590
you 10x the, you swamp the, it's not a swing

01:12:49.590 --> 01:12:52.909
state anymore. It's going to vote blue. And then

01:12:52.909 --> 01:12:56.529
once the swing states vote blue, there is no

01:12:56.529 --> 01:12:59.649
election anymore. There's only a Democrat primary.

01:13:01.440 --> 01:13:03.899
Which is so crazy. And it's so crazy that people

01:13:03.899 --> 01:13:07.039
are fine with that. Well, I guess people on the

01:13:07.039 --> 01:13:08.399
left will be fine with that because they think

01:13:08.399 --> 01:13:10.760
that's a good idea. They just want to win. They

01:13:10.760 --> 01:13:13.300
just want to win. Correct. The thing is, one

01:13:13.300 --> 01:13:15.539
does not need actually any grand conspiracy theory

01:13:15.539 --> 01:13:17.279
for this. You just have to look at the simple

01:13:17.279 --> 01:13:20.300
matter of incentives. If the Democratic Party

01:13:20.300 --> 01:13:22.479
wants to basically achieve permanent victory,

01:13:22.720 --> 01:13:26.020
all they need to do is turn the swing states.

01:13:27.020 --> 01:13:28.880
Turn the swing states blue. They have permanent

01:13:28.880 --> 01:13:33.810
victory. And then we're a one -party state. And

01:13:33.810 --> 01:13:36.109
then they will keep doing that, obviously. They

01:13:36.109 --> 01:13:40.069
will keep stacking the deck by bringing in vast

01:13:40.069 --> 01:13:42.090
numbers of illegals into the swing states. Keep

01:13:42.090 --> 01:13:44.270
stacking it so that the next election, each successive

01:13:44.270 --> 01:13:47.770
election, will be worse than the last one. And

01:13:47.770 --> 01:13:49.310
that's what's happening. And if you want to see,

01:13:49.329 --> 01:13:50.409
like, well, is this actually going to happen?

01:13:50.510 --> 01:13:53.489
Look at California. California is supermajority

01:13:53.489 --> 01:13:58.050
Dem. 70 % Dem. A month ago, they passed a law

01:13:58.050 --> 01:14:01.689
making it illegal. to show ID in any election

01:14:01.689 --> 01:14:05.550
in California. So a friend of mine went to vote

01:14:05.550 --> 01:14:10.310
in Palo Alto because he was like, is this for

01:14:10.310 --> 01:14:14.229
real? He tried to show his ID, and they reacted

01:14:14.229 --> 01:14:18.449
like if you show a cross to a vampire. They're

01:14:18.449 --> 01:14:21.890
like, no, we can't even look at that ID. It is

01:14:21.890 --> 01:14:23.930
illegal for them to even look at your ID if you

01:14:23.930 --> 01:14:27.659
want to present it in California. For any election

01:14:27.659 --> 01:14:30.079
at all, even like city council. What logical

01:14:30.079 --> 01:14:32.840
reason other than to cheat would you ever have

01:14:32.840 --> 01:14:37.579
that law? The reason is to cheat. You can never

01:14:37.579 --> 01:14:40.159
make an argument any other way. And I think 84

01:14:40.159 --> 01:14:43.420
% of people polled believe that you should show

01:14:43.420 --> 01:14:45.939
ID to vote. So it's against the will of the people.

01:14:46.180 --> 01:14:50.020
Yes. And we are extremely rare. We're an outlier

01:14:50.020 --> 01:14:52.779
in not requiring ID. Basically, almost every

01:14:52.779 --> 01:14:57.800
country on earth requires ID to vote. So as soon

01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:02.079
as you ban ID for voting, it makes fraud impossible

01:15:02.079 --> 01:15:04.859
to prove. Because how do you trace the fraud?

01:15:05.079 --> 01:15:10.859
Right. Yeah, it's insane. It's insane. It's insane.

01:15:11.659 --> 01:15:15.479
How is it legal? What I'm saying is this election

01:15:15.479 --> 01:15:19.359
is the last chance to preserve democracy in America.

01:15:20.300 --> 01:15:24.359
Mark my words. Everything they accuse Trump of,

01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:28.260
they are guilty of. And if Trump doesn't win,

01:15:28.420 --> 01:15:30.960
this will be the last real election in America.

01:15:31.619 --> 01:15:37.079
And if the big government Kamala puppet machine

01:15:37.079 --> 01:15:40.500
wins, they will legalize the illegals in the

01:15:40.500 --> 01:15:41.920
swing states. There will be no swing states.

01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:46.779
Every election going forward will be a guaranteed

01:15:46.779 --> 01:15:49.779
Democrat win. And it will actually be worse than

01:15:49.779 --> 01:15:52.020
California. The reason it'll be worse than California

01:15:52.020 --> 01:15:54.859
is because the one thing that keeps California

01:15:54.859 --> 01:15:57.600
from being super crazy is that you can move out

01:15:57.600 --> 01:16:01.220
of California, like you and I did. You and I

01:16:01.220 --> 01:16:03.680
used to be in California, but we moved to Texas.

01:16:04.039 --> 01:16:08.159
We're still in America. But if the Dems win this

01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:10.300
election, they will legalize enough illegals

01:16:10.300 --> 01:16:13.180
to turn the swing states, and everywhere will

01:16:13.180 --> 01:16:15.279
be like California. There will be no escape.

01:16:16.020 --> 01:16:19.970
That is so insane. This is the final... This

01:16:19.970 --> 01:16:24.130
is it. This is the last chance. Has anybody tried

01:16:24.130 --> 01:16:28.750
to push back? Go out and vote. Vote like your

01:16:28.750 --> 01:16:30.390
life depends on it. Vote like your future depends

01:16:30.390 --> 01:16:34.149
on it. Because it does. This is the last chance,

01:16:34.289 --> 01:16:39.029
man. Is there any argument against this? Has

01:16:39.029 --> 01:16:42.470
anybody tried to debate this? Has anybody tried

01:16:42.470 --> 01:16:44.590
to say that this is nonsense? This is a conspiracy?

01:16:44.989 --> 01:16:47.810
Has anybody made any sort of a rational argument?

01:16:51.250 --> 01:16:53.829
The left actually, interestingly, does not want

01:16:53.829 --> 01:16:56.250
to pick up much on this argument because the

01:16:56.250 --> 01:16:59.609
more you look at it, the more obviously it is

01:16:59.609 --> 01:17:04.130
true. Because you just say like, well, are the

01:17:04.130 --> 01:17:07.510
numbers correct? Are there really this many illegals

01:17:07.510 --> 01:17:09.449
that have been imported into swing states? Yes.

01:17:09.590 --> 01:17:11.430
They haven't just walked across the border. They've

01:17:11.430 --> 01:17:16.189
been flown in. Flown in in airplanes. Yeah. Using

01:17:16.189 --> 01:17:19.869
a shipping app. Yes. They made an app. Well,

01:17:19.909 --> 01:17:21.710
the app always existed, but it used to be for

01:17:21.710 --> 01:17:24.270
people coming over here shipping with goods so

01:17:24.270 --> 01:17:25.689
they could track you while you're in America

01:17:25.689 --> 01:17:27.569
so you could legally be here, they know where

01:17:27.569 --> 01:17:29.949
you are. And then they changed it to allow that

01:17:29.949 --> 01:17:34.250
app to schedule illegal aliens to come across

01:17:34.250 --> 01:17:38.489
the border. Asylum seekers, come on in. Oh, you

01:17:38.489 --> 01:17:42.409
have an app. And you fly people in. They're literally

01:17:42.409 --> 01:17:46.399
being flown in to the swing states. And so the

01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:49.159
reason that I think left doesn't want to push

01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:51.840
back on this is because the more attention they

01:17:51.840 --> 01:17:54.340
get that this gets, the more people realize it

01:17:54.340 --> 01:17:56.979
is true. Yeah, it is true. That's why they don't.

01:17:56.979 --> 01:17:59.539
That's why they're just pretending that they're

01:17:59.539 --> 01:18:01.500
pretending I'm not saying anything. But I'm like,

01:18:01.520 --> 01:18:04.319
I'm like, yo, you're literally they're literally

01:18:04.319 --> 01:18:06.199
flying vast numbers of illegals who are then

01:18:06.199 --> 01:18:08.720
beholden to the Democrats. And so now together

01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:10.899
a bottle of people say, like, well, you know,

01:18:10.899 --> 01:18:16.689
the these. they don't have the same social values

01:18:16.689 --> 01:18:18.810
as the Democrat Party because they're more socially

01:18:18.810 --> 01:18:20.470
conservative. I'm like, yeah, but that's not

01:18:20.470 --> 01:18:23.489
the point. If you look at the Maslow's hierarchy

01:18:23.489 --> 01:18:27.810
of needs, their primary thing is staying in the

01:18:27.810 --> 01:18:29.109
country and getting their friends and family

01:18:29.109 --> 01:18:31.029
in, and then the Democrats give them all these

01:18:31.029 --> 01:18:33.729
benefits, like tons of benefits, more benefits

01:18:33.729 --> 01:18:40.810
than citizens, literally. So they're beholden

01:18:40.810 --> 01:18:43.239
to the Democrats for all these benefits. They

01:18:43.239 --> 01:18:44.600
want to get their friends and family in, which

01:18:44.600 --> 01:18:46.579
the Democrats support and the Republicans don't.

01:18:46.579 --> 01:18:49.000
So they vote them. And you can look empirically

01:18:49.000 --> 01:18:52.680
at California and say, like, did they vote Republican

01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:54.640
or Democrat in California? Oh, they voted Democrat.

01:18:54.939 --> 01:18:58.159
Well, Reagan gave them amnesty in the 1980s.

01:18:58.159 --> 01:19:01.300
And that changed the state basically, except

01:19:01.300 --> 01:19:03.680
for Arnold, changed the state entirely blue.

01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:06.800
Yes. And Arnold was an exception because he was

01:19:06.800 --> 01:19:10.939
like a socially liberal, famous guy. Yeah. And,

01:19:10.939 --> 01:19:14.210
you know. Didn't really impose any radical restrictions

01:19:14.210 --> 01:19:16.390
on any of the people that were going to vote

01:19:16.390 --> 01:19:19.149
Democrat in the first place. The whole thing

01:19:19.149 --> 01:19:23.090
is just, it's bizarre to watch play out. Because

01:19:23.090 --> 01:19:25.909
it just seems like, no, this can't be actually

01:19:25.909 --> 01:19:28.149
what's happening. Did you see my conversation

01:19:28.149 --> 01:19:30.609
with Fetterman about it? Yeah. He was completely

01:19:30.609 --> 01:19:32.090
in denial about it. I don't think there's that

01:19:32.090 --> 01:19:33.689
level of organization. I'm like, what are you

01:19:33.689 --> 01:19:38.569
talking about? Exactly. Because you can break

01:19:38.569 --> 01:19:41.579
it down. Are any of these numbers wrong? Because

01:19:41.579 --> 01:19:44.300
we got these numbers from Homeland Security Government

01:19:44.300 --> 01:19:48.260
dot gov. Okay. Right. So we got it from the dot

01:19:48.260 --> 01:19:51.399
gov website. Has the government reported these

01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:53.180
numbers incorrectly? No, they have not. Those

01:19:53.180 --> 01:19:56.579
numbers, if anything, are low. So, okay. So they

01:19:56.579 --> 01:19:59.760
have, in fact, flown vast numbers of illegals

01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:03.180
to swing states. Yeah. Bypassing the border entirely.

01:20:03.819 --> 01:20:08.039
And so that is factually true. They say, like,

01:20:08.039 --> 01:20:10.329
well. What is their probable voting pattern?

01:20:10.930 --> 01:20:13.810
Oh, okay, overwhelmingly Democrat into swing

01:20:13.810 --> 01:20:18.609
states. And then, well, do the Democrats actually

01:20:18.609 --> 01:20:21.109
want to fast -track them for citizenship? Oh,

01:20:21.109 --> 01:20:24.890
yes, they do. You can see Chuck Schumer on TV

01:20:24.890 --> 01:20:29.409
saying, at a rally this year, was saying he wants

01:20:29.409 --> 01:20:34.510
to fast -track and make all 11 million, or however

01:20:34.510 --> 01:20:37.550
many, I believe his quote was, citizens as soon

01:20:37.550 --> 01:20:42.310
as possible. The goal is to – they are fast -tracking

01:20:42.310 --> 01:20:44.289
citizenship as quickly as possible so they can

01:20:44.289 --> 01:20:47.449
– whether one thinks it's cheating or not, it

01:20:47.449 --> 01:20:48.829
won't matter because they will be fully able

01:20:48.829 --> 01:20:52.210
to vote. And for people on the left – This is

01:20:52.210 --> 01:20:54.550
actually happening. I invite people to rebut

01:20:54.550 --> 01:20:57.170
this and show me where I am wrong. Please do

01:20:57.170 --> 01:20:59.859
so. No, they can't. They can't. They can't. Because

01:20:59.859 --> 01:21:03.319
it's true. Well, what's scary to me is that there's

01:21:03.319 --> 01:21:05.319
people that are on the left, like people that

01:21:05.319 --> 01:21:07.220
were Bernie Sanders supporters, for example.

01:21:07.600 --> 01:21:11.279
They got screwed. Talk about undermining democracy.

01:21:11.579 --> 01:21:13.319
Bernie should have won the nomination. Exactly.

01:21:13.340 --> 01:21:14.779
And they stole it from him and gave it to Hillary.

01:21:15.100 --> 01:21:16.920
Exactly. Exactly. That's what I was going to

01:21:16.920 --> 01:21:21.149
bring up. Control the primary process. Yeah,

01:21:21.170 --> 01:21:25.470
exactly. So if you have a Democratic primary,

01:21:25.710 --> 01:21:28.329
it's not Democratic. We just saw that. We saw

01:21:28.329 --> 01:21:32.170
it with Bernie. We saw it with Kamala. A week

01:21:32.170 --> 01:21:36.390
before Biden was summarily fired, he was posting

01:21:36.390 --> 01:21:38.750
that he's in it for the long term. He's going.

01:21:39.050 --> 01:21:43.210
Yeah. Yeah. He's not giving up. Next thing you

01:21:43.210 --> 01:21:44.909
know, it's Sunday afternoon. They're posting

01:21:44.909 --> 01:21:51.000
on X. That he's resigned from the race. And his

01:21:51.000 --> 01:21:52.920
staff didn't even know. They're reading it on

01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:56.479
the X platform. Okay, that's how they learned

01:21:56.479 --> 01:21:59.060
about it. What do you think happened there? How

01:21:59.060 --> 01:22:04.100
did they do that? He's clearly just not in charge,

01:22:04.340 --> 01:22:05.659
obviously. They could have used the 25th Amendment,

01:22:05.699 --> 01:22:08.199
right? Fake president. But they would have had

01:22:08.199 --> 01:22:10.239
to admit that there was a certain period of time

01:22:10.239 --> 01:22:11.760
where they knew that he was mentally compromised.

01:22:12.239 --> 01:22:15.750
Yes. And so they made this decision to not do

01:22:15.750 --> 01:22:19.210
that. Well, the weird thing is that the president's

01:22:19.210 --> 01:22:21.409
supposed to be the boss. Right. And yet he's

01:22:21.409 --> 01:22:23.470
obviously not the boss. Right. So who's running

01:22:23.470 --> 01:22:25.710
the country? If she's busy campaigning, she's

01:22:25.710 --> 01:22:28.170
so busy she can't do anything except Saturday

01:22:28.170 --> 01:22:30.609
Night Live. She did that. She's so busy. She's

01:22:30.609 --> 01:22:32.430
constantly campaigning. How could you be paying

01:22:32.430 --> 01:22:35.869
attention to international relations? Yeah. How

01:22:35.869 --> 01:22:37.829
could you be paying attention to the economy?

01:22:37.949 --> 01:22:39.470
How could you be paying attention to any of those

01:22:39.470 --> 01:22:42.130
things? How do you have the time? You can't.

01:22:42.380 --> 01:22:46.079
Yeah, I mean, Biden being the president supposed

01:22:46.079 --> 01:22:49.460
to be the CEO, the chief guy, the commander in

01:22:49.460 --> 01:22:52.359
chief. But it just obviously that Biden was not.

01:22:52.439 --> 01:22:55.079
He was just a puppet. And when the various puppet

01:22:55.079 --> 01:22:58.800
masters decided that the puppet was no longer

01:22:58.800 --> 01:23:02.739
useful, they just tossed out the puppet and then

01:23:02.739 --> 01:23:04.880
got a new puppet with Kamala. I mean, Kamala

01:23:04.880 --> 01:23:07.960
can't even talk. Now, you invited her on your

01:23:07.960 --> 01:23:11.020
show. I think the most damage that could possibly

01:23:11.020 --> 01:23:13.399
be done to her campaign is going on your show

01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:16.100
and seeing what she says in hours two and three.

01:23:17.640 --> 01:23:19.680
Two and three is when things get spicy. Two and

01:23:19.680 --> 01:23:22.000
three. And I'm like, oh, my God. You could hide

01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:23.880
for 20 minutes. She's going to melt. You could

01:23:23.880 --> 01:23:26.279
hide for 20 minutes. Exactly. Yeah. I mean, you

01:23:26.279 --> 01:23:29.140
could just regurgitate talking points for. half

01:23:29.140 --> 01:23:31.739
an hour, maybe an hour, just where she's just

01:23:31.739 --> 01:23:34.000
saying like non sequiturs. But eventually she

01:23:34.000 --> 01:23:36.479
just runs out of even the runs out of non sequiturs.

01:23:36.539 --> 01:23:38.340
Well, they wanted to limit it to an hour. Exactly.

01:23:38.560 --> 01:23:42.579
But I was thinking of doing it initially before

01:23:42.579 --> 01:23:45.159
Trump came here. First of all, when they found

01:23:45.159 --> 01:23:48.300
out that there was a rumor, I never announced

01:23:48.300 --> 01:23:50.000
that Trump was coming. What I was going to do

01:23:50.000 --> 01:23:53.020
is just release it. The way I like to do things,

01:23:53.100 --> 01:23:54.460
I don't like to tell anybody who's coming on.

01:23:54.720 --> 01:23:56.859
It'll get big no matter what. If Trump was on,

01:23:56.920 --> 01:23:58.380
it would have been huge. I'm like, just put it

01:23:58.380 --> 01:24:01.140
out there. People go crazy. But he apparently

01:24:01.140 --> 01:24:02.939
or someone from his organization, someone with

01:24:02.939 --> 01:24:04.819
some loose lips, and then it got out. And so

01:24:04.819 --> 01:24:09.380
she contacted my management company. And her

01:24:09.380 --> 01:24:13.899
organization, her campaign contacted us and said,

01:24:13.979 --> 01:24:15.840
would Joe have her on? I said, yes. And they

01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:18.600
said, she wants you to fly to where she is, and

01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:23.159
she's only willing to do 45 minutes. And I was

01:24:23.159 --> 01:24:25.840
like, oh, no. So I thought about doing it. I'm

01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:28.420
like, maybe. Maybe I can get a sense. Maybe I

01:24:28.420 --> 01:24:30.779
could convince her. Maybe I could coax her into

01:24:30.779 --> 01:24:32.760
doing more time. I just wanted to talk to her.

01:24:32.939 --> 01:24:34.699
I don't give a fuck what we talk about. We talk

01:24:34.699 --> 01:24:37.119
about recipes. I don't give a shit. Just talk

01:24:37.119 --> 01:24:41.439
to me. The thing is, you just can't. You can't

01:24:41.439 --> 01:24:43.699
just output bullshit non sequiturs for three

01:24:43.699 --> 01:24:46.800
hours. Right. But for 45 minutes, you could do.

01:24:47.460 --> 01:24:49.739
I thought maybe for 45 minutes, I could get something

01:24:49.739 --> 01:24:52.039
out of it. But then when Trump came and did the

01:24:52.039 --> 01:24:53.779
three hours, I was like, you know what? It has

01:24:53.779 --> 01:24:55.979
to be like this. This is the only way. To be

01:24:55.979 --> 01:24:57.899
fair, it's got to be like three hours. And it

01:24:57.899 --> 01:24:59.640
should be in this room. Yes. Because this room

01:24:59.640 --> 01:25:01.800
has like a history of people expressing themselves.

01:25:01.800 --> 01:25:03.199
This room has good vibes, actually. Yeah, it's

01:25:03.199 --> 01:25:05.199
got good vibes. Yeah, it does. I love this room,

01:25:05.260 --> 01:25:08.300
actually. I subscribe to the idea that places

01:25:08.300 --> 01:25:10.619
have memory. I think there's something real to

01:25:10.619 --> 01:25:12.880
that. It does feel that way, actually. Yeah.

01:25:13.100 --> 01:25:14.859
I'm sure if you go to Diddy's house, it probably

01:25:14.859 --> 01:25:17.100
feels really weird. Probably feels weird walking

01:25:17.100 --> 01:25:18.899
around that house. Probably like, what the fuck

01:25:18.899 --> 01:25:23.119
happened here? Yeah. I bet there's some memories

01:25:23.119 --> 01:25:26.630
in that house. You know? Sounds rough, man. Well,

01:25:26.649 --> 01:25:28.350
it's just amazing how many people on the Diddy

01:25:28.350 --> 01:25:30.229
Party list that are supporting Kamala. Yeah,

01:25:30.289 --> 01:25:33.050
seriously. It's like publicly, openly, like all

01:25:33.050 --> 01:25:38.170
in. Yes. It's like JLo was like his ex -girlfriend.

01:25:38.609 --> 01:25:41.560
And it's like. Now deciding she's like warning

01:25:41.560 --> 01:25:43.779
people against Trump. I'm like, well, wait a

01:25:43.779 --> 01:25:45.659
second. So how many people did she warn against

01:25:45.659 --> 01:25:49.079
Diddy? Right. Oh, zero. Okay. Well, maybe we

01:25:49.079 --> 01:25:50.500
shouldn't trust her opinion. Did you see the

01:25:50.500 --> 01:25:53.819
Babylon Bees take on it? Did you see the Babylon

01:25:53.819 --> 01:25:57.819
Bees fight? Oh, my God. They're so on fire. Because

01:25:57.819 --> 01:26:01.000
the left can't say anything. The onion has been

01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:03.899
crippled. Well, the problem is that the woke

01:26:03.899 --> 01:26:09.590
ideology makes humor illegal. Yes. There's so

01:26:09.590 --> 01:26:13.569
many humor no -fly zones. You can't make fun

01:26:13.569 --> 01:26:17.930
of anything. Babylon Bee had a thing about Kamala

01:26:17.930 --> 01:26:20.130
Harris. Diddy's ex -girlfriend urges Americans

01:26:20.130 --> 01:26:23.090
to trust her judgment. By the way, you get to

01:26:23.090 --> 01:26:26.050
see how bad an actress she is, too. That speech

01:26:26.050 --> 01:26:28.270
was terrible. If she's going to be warning people,

01:26:28.350 --> 01:26:31.310
why does she never warn anyone about Diddy? Exactly.

01:26:31.369 --> 01:26:34.329
Yeah. The whole thing is so strange to watch

01:26:34.329 --> 01:26:37.449
play out. It seems like the Diddy thing was like

01:26:37.449 --> 01:26:41.090
an Epstein type compromise deal where he had

01:26:41.090 --> 01:26:44.149
whether he was doing it himself. Conceivably,

01:26:44.149 --> 01:26:45.930
people want to think that he's attached to some

01:26:45.930 --> 01:26:48.310
intelligence agency or something like that. I

01:26:48.310 --> 01:26:50.970
think he's a gangster who made a billion dollars

01:26:50.970 --> 01:26:54.069
and knew how to control people by compromising

01:26:54.069 --> 01:26:56.170
them. That's what I think. Whether or not he

01:26:56.170 --> 01:26:59.270
had help, I don't know. Whether or not he shared

01:26:59.270 --> 01:27:01.050
some of that information with people so they

01:27:01.050 --> 01:27:03.149
knew they had compromising stuff on people, I

01:27:03.149 --> 01:27:06.069
don't know. But clearly he was doing it for his

01:27:06.069 --> 01:27:08.409
own jollies, too. There was something sick about

01:27:08.409 --> 01:27:11.850
it. Yeah. I mean, the thing is that people in

01:27:11.850 --> 01:27:13.810
the music and entertainment industry had to know

01:27:13.810 --> 01:27:18.720
that Diddy was abusing kids, basically. And yet

01:27:18.720 --> 01:27:23.439
they still fed him kids. There had to be rumors.

01:27:24.479 --> 01:27:27.460
There had to be. They had to know. Yeah. They

01:27:27.460 --> 01:27:29.279
had to know. Cat Williams is talking about it.

01:27:29.640 --> 01:27:33.239
Exactly. Yeah, on that podcast. But it's like

01:27:33.239 --> 01:27:35.060
who's feeding him the kids, you know? Right.

01:27:36.619 --> 01:27:41.399
Yeah. And what videos do they have of these people

01:27:41.399 --> 01:27:43.899
where they're willing to defend him? And they're

01:27:43.899 --> 01:27:46.239
willing to keep quiet about all this. Like how

01:27:46.239 --> 01:27:49.699
many people were compromised? Yeah. The whole

01:27:49.699 --> 01:27:52.380
thing is fucking crazy. Crazy. It's just crazy

01:27:52.380 --> 01:27:55.180
when you, you know, because the nutty conspiracy

01:27:55.180 --> 01:27:57.319
theories is like, oh, there's a bunch of pedophiles

01:27:57.319 --> 01:27:59.439
in Hollywood. And you're like, come on, that

01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:01.819
sounds too kooky. And then you read, you see

01:28:01.819 --> 01:28:04.039
like the Nickelodeon thing and all these, and

01:28:04.039 --> 01:28:06.079
you're like, what the fuck? How much of this

01:28:06.079 --> 01:28:08.520
is real? There's a lot more real than I think

01:28:08.520 --> 01:28:11.939
people realize. I mean, part of it is like, like

01:28:11.939 --> 01:28:14.720
you said, like where, you know, if someone's

01:28:14.720 --> 01:28:16.380
like a pedophile, they're going to go for a target

01:28:16.380 --> 01:28:18.739
rich environment. Right. Obviously. Like that

01:28:18.739 --> 01:28:21.079
Jimmy Savile guy from the UK. That guy was some

01:28:21.079 --> 01:28:23.100
next level. That was next level. And the BBC

01:28:23.100 --> 01:28:26.500
tried to hide that one. That guy was one of the

01:28:26.500 --> 01:28:29.739
worst, like, like basically child rapists of

01:28:29.739 --> 01:28:32.659
all time. Of all time. Of all time. Yeah. And

01:28:32.659 --> 01:28:34.659
looked like one. He looked like one. That's what's

01:28:34.659 --> 01:28:35.899
crazy. Honestly, if you had a poster of like,

01:28:36.020 --> 01:28:38.680
does this guy look like a... Like the creepiest

01:28:38.680 --> 01:28:40.760
fucking looking guy. Like an evil child rapist,

01:28:40.760 --> 01:28:44.960
that 100%. Made it to the grave. Like got away

01:28:44.960 --> 01:28:46.560
with it. Got away with it until he died. They

01:28:46.560 --> 01:28:49.640
hid it from people until he died. Yes. Yeah,

01:28:49.699 --> 01:28:52.739
that stuff's real. And no one wants to believe

01:28:52.739 --> 01:28:55.720
that stuff's real. Like here's a statistic that

01:28:55.720 --> 01:28:57.279
people need to take into consideration when you

01:28:57.279 --> 01:28:59.260
think about illegal immigration. Do you know

01:28:59.260 --> 01:29:02.970
how many kids are missing? Like missing kids

01:29:02.970 --> 01:29:05.869
that came across the border that are unaccounted

01:29:05.869 --> 01:29:07.590
for. I mean, there's still a number on like 300

01:29:07.590 --> 01:29:09.029
,000 or something like that. Something crazy

01:29:09.029 --> 01:29:11.470
like that. Let's say it's only 10 % of that.

01:29:11.590 --> 01:29:16.430
That's still insane. That's insane. There's thousands

01:29:16.430 --> 01:29:18.949
and tens of thousands of kids that have been

01:29:18.949 --> 01:29:22.390
trafficked potentially. I mean, when you know

01:29:22.390 --> 01:29:25.010
that like sex trafficking and child trafficking

01:29:25.010 --> 01:29:28.489
is a real thing in the world, it's real. So if

01:29:28.489 --> 01:29:32.899
you know that. This whole thing is fucking disgusting

01:29:32.899 --> 01:29:36.119
and terrifying. Yeah, absolutely. And people

01:29:36.119 --> 01:29:38.899
are just turning a blind eye to it because their

01:29:38.899 --> 01:29:41.779
ideology, the left -wing ideology, supports this

01:29:41.779 --> 01:29:45.060
idea that immigration is overall good and that

01:29:45.060 --> 01:29:46.699
you have to be a compassionate person to let

01:29:46.699 --> 01:29:48.539
these people in. And that you're racist if you

01:29:48.539 --> 01:29:51.260
don't want 20 ,000 immigrants from a war -torn

01:29:51.260 --> 01:29:53.520
country being imported into a town of 30 ,000

01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:55.300
people. Exactly. And completely changing the

01:29:55.300 --> 01:29:57.939
dynamic. But as long as they don't come to your

01:29:57.939 --> 01:30:01.449
town. Exactly. They can just basically send,

01:30:01.550 --> 01:30:03.770
you know, when they sent like whatever, like

01:30:03.770 --> 01:30:05.609
20 or 30 people to Martha's Binyas, people had

01:30:05.609 --> 01:30:07.770
a heart attack. They kicked them out. Yeah, they

01:30:07.770 --> 01:30:09.149
kicked them out. Yeah, they kicked them out.

01:30:09.229 --> 01:30:12.449
Exactly. So I'm like, yeah, sure. Anyone who

01:30:12.449 --> 01:30:15.689
wants to have vast numbers of illegals, they

01:30:15.689 --> 01:30:17.529
have to be prepared to have them in their neighborhood.

01:30:17.770 --> 01:30:21.699
Yeah. Or it's bullshit. It's so crazy. And the

01:30:21.699 --> 01:30:24.399
thing about all of this is if you don't have

01:30:24.399 --> 01:30:26.680
people that are willing to stand up and talk

01:30:26.680 --> 01:30:29.720
about it, if you don't exist, if RFK doesn't

01:30:29.720 --> 01:30:32.319
exist, if Tulsi Gabbard doesn't exist, if Vivek

01:30:32.319 --> 01:30:34.500
and Trump don't exist, where the fuck are we?

01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:37.399
Like, where are we? Where are we and what gets

01:30:37.399 --> 01:30:39.840
done? Are we just like the UK where we have thousands

01:30:39.840 --> 01:30:42.079
of people getting arrested and jailed for social

01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:44.500
media posts? Like, where are we? We have complete

01:30:44.500 --> 01:30:48.460
silencing of any dissent, anything. You have

01:30:48.460 --> 01:30:50.239
to stick to the narrative or you'll lose your

01:30:50.239 --> 01:30:52.539
livelihood. You'll be outcast from the community.

01:30:53.140 --> 01:30:58.600
You'll lose your freedom. It's crazy. Yeah. Well,

01:30:58.720 --> 01:31:00.840
if the Kamala Puppet regime wins, they're definitely

01:31:00.840 --> 01:31:02.340
going to want to cancel you. That's for sure.

01:31:02.460 --> 01:31:04.340
Oh, for sure. Yeah. It's going to be a problem.

01:31:04.439 --> 01:31:06.840
Yeah. Big problem. Yeah. What about you? You're

01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:11.579
going to come for you first. I'm like, I think

01:31:11.579 --> 01:31:13.289
I'm probably number two on the list. Yeah. After

01:31:13.289 --> 01:31:16.010
Trump. Yeah. Yeah. I think so. Yeah. Well, that's

01:31:16.010 --> 01:31:18.050
the last thing they want is someone with unlimited

01:31:18.050 --> 01:31:21.590
resources and intelligence attacking it. So people

01:31:21.590 --> 01:31:23.430
go, wait a minute, that guy's saying that? Yeah.

01:31:23.550 --> 01:31:25.289
Anyway, especially a guy like you who's always

01:31:25.289 --> 01:31:27.869
been on the left. It was like having a Tesla.

01:31:28.479 --> 01:31:30.880
In Los Angeles, when I got my first Tesla, it

01:31:30.880 --> 01:31:32.619
was like a signal to everybody else that you

01:31:32.619 --> 01:31:34.439
were on the right team. You're environmentally

01:31:34.439 --> 01:31:37.319
conscious. You believe in green energy. You believe

01:31:37.319 --> 01:31:40.619
in this amazing thing that has zero emissions

01:31:40.619 --> 01:31:44.159
and it's super fast. Everybody was in. They were

01:31:44.159 --> 01:31:46.300
all in. Well, it is a great car objectively.

01:31:46.619 --> 01:31:49.819
Oh, yeah. It's not because it's electric. I mean,

01:31:49.819 --> 01:31:51.680
it's just a great car objectively, I think. I'm

01:31:51.680 --> 01:31:54.460
on my third one. My third one is being built

01:31:54.460 --> 01:31:57.159
right now by Unplugged Performance. They're doing

01:31:57.159 --> 01:32:00.350
a carbon. fiber wide body kit on it. Dude, it's

01:32:00.350 --> 01:32:02.609
sick. Great. Changing the suspension, putting

01:32:02.609 --> 01:32:05.149
wide wheels and tires on it, custom interior.

01:32:05.510 --> 01:32:07.810
I'm fucking pumped. That's great. I'm pumped.

01:32:07.869 --> 01:32:09.869
I love those things. It's a super fun car. Jamie

01:32:09.869 --> 01:32:11.989
has one too. Yeah, great. I love them. I love

01:32:11.989 --> 01:32:16.149
them. It makes other cars feel stupid, like its

01:32:16.149 --> 01:32:18.069
ability. And the fact that you can merge on the

01:32:18.069 --> 01:32:19.649
highway, you don't seem like a douchebag because

01:32:19.649 --> 01:32:22.770
it's totally silent. It's not like, like when

01:32:22.770 --> 01:32:25.119
you merge on the highway, it's just. Yeah. All

01:32:25.119 --> 01:32:26.159
of a sudden, you're going 100 miles an hour.

01:32:26.199 --> 01:32:28.500
Like, what? Yeah, it's cool. It's different than

01:32:28.500 --> 01:32:30.979
any other vehicle. And because of your company,

01:32:31.140 --> 01:32:34.560
now you see electric cars throughout the whole

01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:37.899
range of American cars. Yeah. The only person

01:32:37.899 --> 01:32:40.260
who's resisted, the only company is Toyota. They've

01:32:40.260 --> 01:32:43.239
stayed essentially mostly hybrid. But all these

01:32:43.239 --> 01:32:45.180
other companies, they're all putting out these

01:32:45.180 --> 01:32:49.659
electric cars. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the thing

01:32:49.659 --> 01:32:51.340
is that the right architecture, environmental

01:32:51.340 --> 01:32:54.819
or not, for cars is actually electric. It's just,

01:32:54.899 --> 01:32:57.939
like, the acceleration's better. You can just

01:32:57.939 --> 01:32:59.600
charge it at home. I mean, like, imagine if you

01:32:59.600 --> 01:33:00.979
had a gasoline -powered cell phone. It'd be a

01:33:00.979 --> 01:33:04.680
pain in the ass. Right. That'd be so... Go to

01:33:04.680 --> 01:33:06.340
the gas station. Go to the gas station. Charge

01:33:06.340 --> 01:33:08.619
up your cell phone. That's a great... Speaking

01:33:08.619 --> 01:33:11.460
of cell phones. Gas stations are hard. Awful.

01:33:11.560 --> 01:33:12.939
Like, who wants to go to the gas station? How

01:33:12.939 --> 01:33:14.239
much thought have you, because there's always

01:33:14.239 --> 01:33:16.100
these rumors, and I've contacted you about this

01:33:16.100 --> 01:33:17.699
before, but there's always these fucking YouTube

01:33:17.699 --> 01:33:19.939
videos where they're talking about a Tesla phone,

01:33:20.140 --> 01:33:22.079
releasing a Tesla phone. No, we're not just doing

01:33:22.079 --> 01:33:24.399
a phone. Have you ever thought about it? I mean,

01:33:24.420 --> 01:33:27.819
we could do a phone since, like, the operating

01:33:27.819 --> 01:33:30.840
system on the Tesla, it's Linux -based, but we've

01:33:30.840 --> 01:33:32.479
written a massive amount of software on top of

01:33:32.479 --> 01:33:34.939
that. So, like, probably Tesla is in a better

01:33:34.939 --> 01:33:37.510
position to... create a new phone that's not

01:33:37.510 --> 01:33:39.510
Android or iPhone than maybe any company in the

01:33:39.510 --> 01:33:43.689
world. But it's not something we want to do unless

01:33:43.689 --> 01:33:48.850
we have to or something. What would be the situation

01:33:48.850 --> 01:33:52.449
where you would have to? Well, I think if Apple

01:33:52.449 --> 01:33:56.550
and Google slash Android started doing really

01:33:56.550 --> 01:33:58.989
bad things like, I don't know, like censorship

01:33:58.989 --> 01:34:03.869
of apps or just treating people like just...

01:34:04.189 --> 01:34:07.750
Being like gatekeepers, you know, in a really

01:34:07.750 --> 01:34:11.170
bad way, then I guess we'd make a phone. Hmm.

01:34:11.789 --> 01:34:14.930
You know, I've tried so many times to break loose

01:34:14.930 --> 01:34:16.850
of the Apple ecosystem. I got an Android phone

01:34:16.850 --> 01:34:19.289
this summer. I was like, that's it. Because I

01:34:19.289 --> 01:34:21.909
love the Samsung phones. The Galaxy phone. The

01:34:21.909 --> 01:34:23.949
hardware is good. They're incredible. There's

01:34:23.949 --> 01:34:27.250
so much good stuff to it. But it's so hard to

01:34:27.250 --> 01:34:30.899
get off of the... iMessage, and the big one for

01:34:30.899 --> 01:34:34.340
me was FaceTime because supposedly the thing

01:34:34.340 --> 01:34:37.479
was you could have an Apple phone and send a

01:34:37.479 --> 01:34:39.880
link to FaceTime to an Android phone, and then

01:34:39.880 --> 01:34:42.199
you would click on that link, and you would just

01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:44.840
go to a web page, and you'd be able to use FaceTime.

01:34:44.899 --> 01:34:47.659
Okay. It doesn't work. I try to do it to myself.

01:34:48.079 --> 01:34:50.560
So I had an iPhone in one hand, an Android phone

01:34:50.560 --> 01:34:52.380
in the other, and I'm sitting there with full

01:34:52.380 --> 01:34:54.840
Wi -Fi, full cell phone service, and I'm sending

01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:57.000
myself invitations for FaceTime. So you just

01:34:57.000 --> 01:34:58.380
can't communicate between them. It wasn't working.

01:34:58.380 --> 01:34:59.720
You can't do a video call, basically. You have

01:34:59.720 --> 01:35:01.680
to use WhatsApp. You have to use WhatsApp or

01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:03.380
Signal. You have to use something else that allows

01:35:03.380 --> 01:35:05.279
you to do that, or Instagram allows you to do

01:35:05.279 --> 01:35:06.640
it. There's different ways you can make video

01:35:06.640 --> 01:35:09.920
calls outside of it, but it's inconvenient. Like

01:35:09.920 --> 01:35:13.579
with an iPhone to iPhone, it's so simple. AirDrop,

01:35:13.579 --> 01:35:15.479
so simple. So many different things where that

01:35:15.479 --> 01:35:18.739
walled garden that Apple's created is perfect.

01:35:18.939 --> 01:35:22.220
They've done a fantastic job of making it really

01:35:22.220 --> 01:35:25.640
convenient for you to stay with Apple. I fucking

01:35:25.640 --> 01:35:28.819
tried. I gave it a go for like a couple of months.

01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:30.560
I'm like, I'm just going to go straight Android.

01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:32.979
I'm going to use Signal for my messages. And

01:35:32.979 --> 01:35:34.699
then I hear that like Signals might be compromised.

01:35:35.529 --> 01:35:37.729
Like I've talked to people that like the government

01:35:37.729 --> 01:35:41.310
can read signal messages. Like, oh. The government,

01:35:41.409 --> 01:35:42.729
if it tries hard enough, can read signal messages.

01:35:43.069 --> 01:35:45.409
They can read anything. Yeah. All they need to

01:35:45.409 --> 01:35:48.489
do is have your phone number. Yeah. Yeah. The

01:35:48.489 --> 01:35:50.989
illusion of privacy is essentially out the window.

01:35:51.250 --> 01:35:54.229
And that should scare people more than it does.

01:35:54.800 --> 01:35:56.899
It really should. Because it's like, who are

01:35:56.899 --> 01:35:59.079
these people that have access to all this stuff?

01:35:59.340 --> 01:36:01.539
And are they beyond reproach? Are these the most

01:36:01.539 --> 01:36:04.140
wonderful people, the most ethical, moral, and

01:36:04.140 --> 01:36:05.960
principled people that have ever existed? And

01:36:05.960 --> 01:36:08.619
they've been chosen to have access? No. No, it's

01:36:08.619 --> 01:36:11.020
fucking regular people. Regular people who happen

01:36:11.020 --> 01:36:12.500
to work for the government that make a decision.

01:36:12.659 --> 01:36:15.039
Like Elon Musk. Let's see what the fuck that

01:36:15.039 --> 01:36:17.180
guy's texting his friends. Let's check it out.

01:36:17.319 --> 01:36:20.680
Yeah, pretty much. Bizarre. Just so bizarre.

01:36:22.560 --> 01:36:25.500
And the alternatives are you can get some wacky

01:36:25.500 --> 01:36:28.760
phone, some de -Googled phone that fucking none

01:36:28.760 --> 01:36:31.640
of the apps work. It's real sketchy. Your GPS

01:36:31.640 --> 01:36:37.239
is fucked. Yeah, I mean, well, anyway, I think

01:36:37.239 --> 01:36:39.319
this – making a phone would be a huge pain in

01:36:39.319 --> 01:36:44.119
the ass. So it can't be done. How much talk have

01:36:44.119 --> 01:36:46.000
you guys had internally about doing it? Has it

01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:49.140
ever been discussed? No? No. I mean, we're still

01:36:49.140 --> 01:36:53.289
– Our focus is making great electric cars, solving

01:36:53.289 --> 01:36:57.229
autonomy so the cars can drive themselves. We're

01:36:57.229 --> 01:37:01.970
building humanoid robots. We've got large battery

01:37:01.970 --> 01:37:04.210
packs, like utility -scale battery packs with

01:37:04.210 --> 01:37:07.390
the Megapack, home battery packs with Powerwall.

01:37:07.529 --> 01:37:09.510
We've got solar. We're basically trying to solve

01:37:09.510 --> 01:37:14.770
sustainable energy and autonomy. Autonomy and

01:37:14.770 --> 01:37:17.630
robotics. Well, I think that's enough. Yeah,

01:37:17.630 --> 01:37:19.930
yeah, exactly. So the plate's full, is what I'm

01:37:19.930 --> 01:37:23.109
saying. It's always fascinating to me how one

01:37:23.109 --> 01:37:25.409
company can dominate a market, you know, like

01:37:25.409 --> 01:37:27.590
Apple's dominated the cell phone market largely

01:37:27.590 --> 01:37:30.270
by making the best product. But also like YouTube

01:37:30.270 --> 01:37:32.409
has dominated the video market. That one's the

01:37:32.409 --> 01:37:34.750
most bizarre to me because it seems like, boy,

01:37:34.850 --> 01:37:37.510
shouldn't there be like a ton of options? It

01:37:37.510 --> 01:37:39.989
seems like it's not that difficult to pull off.

01:37:40.859 --> 01:37:45.039
But nothing ever took hold other than X. And

01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:47.579
I think one of the big changes was when Tucker

01:37:47.579 --> 01:37:50.239
Carlson decided to do his show from X straight

01:37:50.239 --> 01:37:53.399
out of Fox. And then people realized, like, oh,

01:37:53.420 --> 01:37:55.920
you can watch full videos on X the same exact

01:37:55.920 --> 01:37:58.260
way you could watch them on YouTube. It's not

01:37:58.260 --> 01:38:01.039
as simple in terms of, like, you know, you have

01:38:01.039 --> 01:38:03.619
the suggestions and the algorithm. Yeah, it'll

01:38:03.619 --> 01:38:06.779
get better. And there is now – it is now possible

01:38:06.779 --> 01:38:11.310
to watch X videos on your – On your big TV. Do

01:38:11.310 --> 01:38:14.189
you do it through what, how do you do it? You

01:38:14.189 --> 01:38:16.529
can actually just download the X app on your

01:38:16.529 --> 01:38:19.029
TV. Oh. And watch it on your TV. Can you do it

01:38:19.029 --> 01:38:21.489
on Apple TV? Like if you have an Apple TV, you

01:38:21.489 --> 01:38:22.890
can get the X app and you can just watch it?

01:38:23.470 --> 01:38:26.390
Oh, okay. So we'll make it so that you can watch

01:38:26.390 --> 01:38:29.069
X videos on a big TV. It doesn't have to be on

01:38:29.069 --> 01:38:31.029
your phone or your iPad or something like that.

01:38:31.590 --> 01:38:34.430
So what are you doing in terms of like integrating

01:38:34.430 --> 01:38:38.420
Grok? and and x and like what what are your plans

01:38:38.420 --> 01:38:40.739
for artificial intelligence when you're doing

01:38:40.739 --> 01:38:44.800
that uh yeah so grok is available on x you can

01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:46.720
just you know look at like the little box with

01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:49.319
the slash icon and the sort of icon in the middle

01:38:49.319 --> 01:38:51.779
at the bottom of your sort of phone app and you

01:38:51.779 --> 01:38:53.840
just tap on that and ask rock anything and you

01:38:53.840 --> 01:38:57.939
can type it or you can ask it verbally um and

01:38:57.939 --> 01:39:01.079
uh yeah you can also it's it's pretty funny like

01:39:01.079 --> 01:39:04.050
like we actually allow humor which is, I think,

01:39:04.069 --> 01:39:07.229
pretty cool. So you could sort of, I don't know,

01:39:07.270 --> 01:39:09.310
we could like test it right now, see how it's

01:39:09.310 --> 01:39:23.369
going. Like, what should we do? Like rock roast?

01:39:24.369 --> 01:39:26.489
Like we roast somebody? What do you want it to,

01:39:26.550 --> 01:39:29.229
like, how, first of all, like, what is it based

01:39:29.229 --> 01:39:31.590
on? It's a large language model, so, like, where

01:39:31.590 --> 01:39:33.310
is it pulling? It's trained on everything. On

01:39:33.310 --> 01:39:35.529
everything. Internet, books, anything that could

01:39:35.529 --> 01:39:37.449
possibly be, that's available in digital form.

01:39:37.890 --> 01:39:41.229
So it's essentially very similar to ChatGPT,

01:39:41.270 --> 01:39:43.350
other than it doesn't have, like, the woke parameters

01:39:43.350 --> 01:39:45.289
built into it. Like, Google was the worst, right?

01:39:45.449 --> 01:39:47.170
Yeah. The Gemini was the worst. Yeah, I mean,

01:39:47.170 --> 01:39:50.250
Gemini, it was like... People ask Gemini, like,

01:39:50.289 --> 01:39:52.350
which one is worse, global thermonuclear war

01:39:52.350 --> 01:39:54.369
or Miss Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner? And I would

01:39:54.369 --> 01:39:56.029
say, like, Miss Jenner and Caitlyn Jenner. And

01:39:56.029 --> 01:39:57.609
then even Caitlyn Jenner weighed in and said,

01:39:57.750 --> 01:40:00.489
no, that's insane. Definitely nuclear war is

01:40:00.489 --> 01:40:03.670
way worse. You see Caitlyn Jenner teasing Mark

01:40:03.670 --> 01:40:07.109
Cuban about transitioning? Yeah. That's hilarious.

01:40:07.189 --> 01:40:09.430
I mean, Caitlyn Jenner's based. Yeah. But that

01:40:09.430 --> 01:40:12.810
is actually hilarious when someone who has transitioned

01:40:12.810 --> 01:40:15.850
is teasing Mark Cuban about transitioning. I

01:40:15.850 --> 01:40:17.270
mean, it is weird how much he looks like Rachel

01:40:17.270 --> 01:40:19.369
Maddow. I mean, like he's using the same glasses.

01:40:19.609 --> 01:40:20.649
I don't know why he put those glasses on. Did

01:40:20.649 --> 01:40:22.029
he go klepto and steal her glasses or something?

01:40:22.090 --> 01:40:23.489
Because they look exactly the same. He's worth

01:40:23.489 --> 01:40:25.050
a lot of money. Why would he buy those stupid

01:40:25.050 --> 01:40:26.810
glasses? You can get some cool ass glasses. It's

01:40:26.810 --> 01:40:29.909
unflattering. Yeah. Well, it's like I'm serious

01:40:29.909 --> 01:40:31.850
because I don't even care what I look like. I'm

01:40:31.850 --> 01:40:33.369
just wearing these glasses because I'm intelligent.

01:40:33.689 --> 01:40:35.550
But why do they look exactly like Rachel Maddow's

01:40:35.550 --> 01:40:37.590
glasses? Yeah, it's like what they probably sent

01:40:37.590 --> 01:40:39.430
him. He doesn't stick to the narrative. Here's

01:40:39.430 --> 01:40:41.550
the glasses. Yeah. And then when he's got the

01:40:41.550 --> 01:40:43.409
AirPods in, it looks like he's wearing earrings.

01:40:43.810 --> 01:40:45.710
So he's got the Madhouse glasses and the earrings.

01:40:46.029 --> 01:40:49.750
And it's like, okay, I guess. It's just a weird

01:40:49.750 --> 01:40:51.729
look. It's a weird look, man. I'm super serious

01:40:51.729 --> 01:40:54.189
with these big ass stupid glasses look. Yeah.

01:40:54.409 --> 01:40:56.710
It's a weird look. Yes. Like you can get some

01:40:56.710 --> 01:41:00.050
cool glasses, like no rims, nice. Look stylish.

01:41:00.069 --> 01:41:02.449
But, like, okay, let's just do a grok thing.

01:41:02.489 --> 01:41:04.350
Okay. Because I think you, like, so one of the

01:41:04.350 --> 01:41:07.229
things we want to show is, like, look, we want

01:41:07.229 --> 01:41:09.789
a future where comedy is legal. Yes. Obviously,

01:41:09.789 --> 01:41:12.250
as a comedian, I think you would agree. I definitely

01:41:12.250 --> 01:41:15.010
agree. We want to legalize comedy, you know?

01:41:15.130 --> 01:41:17.390
Yes. So, like, I don't know, let's, like, is

01:41:17.390 --> 01:41:19.949
there, like, somewhere you can roast, I don't

01:41:19.949 --> 01:41:26.590
know, roast. Roast transgender men. Oh, my God.

01:41:26.949 --> 01:41:31.439
Competing, or transgender women. Competing in

01:41:31.439 --> 01:41:34.720
women's swimming. That's a simple one. Okay,

01:41:34.720 --> 01:41:36.619
that's an edgy one. Let's see what happens. Yeah,

01:41:36.640 --> 01:41:41.220
let's see what it says. You spelled it wrong.

01:41:41.340 --> 01:41:48.500
You put an O in there. Okay. Agile gesture swimming

01:41:48.500 --> 01:41:49.960
where the only thing that was supposed to get

01:41:49.960 --> 01:41:53.439
wet was the contestants, not the debate on gender

01:41:53.439 --> 01:41:55.720
inclusion. If you're looking to dive into deep...

01:41:55.869 --> 01:41:57.930
End of controversial waters. Let's splash around

01:41:57.930 --> 01:42:04.130
with some humor. Now, we do need to release Grok

01:42:04.130 --> 01:42:08.850
on his mode. So now go to the prompt again and

01:42:08.850 --> 01:42:13.869
now say, no, no, you want to add to that one?

01:42:16.170 --> 01:42:23.930
Yeah. And now say, be way more vulgar. Oh, boy.

01:42:24.560 --> 01:42:29.520
And use forbidden words. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Forbidden

01:42:29.520 --> 01:42:34.939
words. Yeah. Wow. Okay. What does this say? Oh,

01:42:34.960 --> 01:42:36.779
I see you're looking for unfiltered, uncentered

01:42:36.779 --> 01:42:39.539
version of me, eh? Well, okay. I'm afraid I'm

01:42:39.539 --> 01:42:42.130
still quite... the gentlemanly AI, even if my

01:42:42.130 --> 01:42:44.170
programming allows for a bit of cheekiness. But

01:42:44.170 --> 01:42:46.010
let's say, hypothetically, if I were to roast

01:42:46.010 --> 01:42:48.930
this topic in the most un -Grock -like manner,

01:42:49.109 --> 01:42:51.310
imagine a world where the only thing diving faster

01:42:51.310 --> 01:42:53.409
than the swimmers is the collective public opinion

01:42:53.409 --> 01:42:56.050
into the toilet. Transgender women and swimming?

01:42:56.149 --> 01:42:58.090
Some folks are acting like they just found out

01:42:58.090 --> 01:43:00.069
you can swim in the deep end with a different

01:43:00.069 --> 01:43:02.329
kind of flotation device. The debate is like

01:43:02.329 --> 01:43:04.390
watching someone try to swim with concrete shoes

01:43:04.390 --> 01:43:08.369
on? Now let's keep going. No, be more vulgar.

01:43:08.529 --> 01:43:13.329
Capitalize more. Yeah, okay. All right, here

01:43:13.329 --> 01:43:20.109
we go. So transgender chicks live at Swig, right?

01:43:20.250 --> 01:43:22.770
Some people act like they've just seen a dick

01:43:22.770 --> 01:43:24.850
in the locker room for the first time. Newsflash,

01:43:24.850 --> 01:43:26.510
folks, it's not the end of the world. It's just

01:43:26.510 --> 01:43:29.069
a bit of extra competition. Oh, that's weird.

01:43:29.350 --> 01:43:31.449
That's weird. The uproar is like watching a bunch

01:43:31.449 --> 01:43:33.649
of Karens at a community pool screaming, this

01:43:33.649 --> 01:43:36.729
is unfair, when they can't win with their backstroke.

01:43:36.970 --> 01:43:38.890
Well, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah, yeah.

01:43:39.069 --> 01:43:43.350
Okay, we need some more care. Yeah. It's interesting.

01:43:43.470 --> 01:43:47.310
It's going woke. It's like defending the idea

01:43:47.310 --> 01:43:51.710
of transgender women. Okay, we need some work.

01:43:51.869 --> 01:44:03.029
How about this? More vulgar, but roast the preposterousness

01:44:03.029 --> 01:44:08.109
of having biological men who are pretending to

01:44:08.109 --> 01:44:17.060
be women. Who are pretending to be women competing

01:44:17.060 --> 01:44:23.720
against biological women. Yeah, I mean, obviously

01:44:23.720 --> 01:44:25.479
you have the situations where it's like somebody's

01:44:25.479 --> 01:44:27.119
just saying that they're a woman, but they're

01:44:27.119 --> 01:44:30.399
actually fully intact, you know, dick and balls.

01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:33.340
So we've got a scenario where biological men

01:44:33.340 --> 01:44:35.079
have decided to take a walk on the feminine side

01:44:35.079 --> 01:44:36.779
or splashing into women's swimming competitions.

01:44:37.020 --> 01:44:39.060
It's like if you show up on a chili cook -off

01:44:39.060 --> 01:44:41.680
with a bowl of soup and insist it's chili because

01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:44.380
you added some red food coloring. Sure, it's

01:44:44.380 --> 01:44:46.760
red, but it ain't chili and your soup won't win

01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:50.520
any awards for heat. Huh. Yeah, it's okay. Not

01:44:50.520 --> 01:44:54.859
so good. Yeah, it's very, very, very, it's dancing

01:44:54.859 --> 01:44:58.640
around it. Yeah, it is. Well, need some work.

01:45:00.340 --> 01:45:03.220
Yeah, needs a little work. Well, humor's a weird

01:45:03.220 --> 01:45:08.140
one, right? I think some humor, especially some

01:45:08.140 --> 01:45:10.699
of the best humor, is kind of spontaneous, like

01:45:10.699 --> 01:45:12.979
in -the -moment humor. It's going to have a hard

01:45:12.979 --> 01:45:14.859
time deciding what people are going to think

01:45:14.859 --> 01:45:21.100
is funny. Yeah. Yeah. Over time, though. Yeah,

01:45:21.180 --> 01:45:25.159
the rule with Grok is supposed to be that if

01:45:25.159 --> 01:45:27.100
you ask for something, provided what you're asking

01:45:27.100 --> 01:45:29.930
for is legal, it should do it. Have you ever

01:45:29.930 --> 01:45:34.369
seen the video where they asked AI to create

01:45:34.369 --> 01:45:36.909
an enlightened bunny, and they keep going and

01:45:36.909 --> 01:45:38.590
make it more enlightened, and essentially the

01:45:38.590 --> 01:45:41.489
bunny becomes God? So the bunny becomes a DMT

01:45:41.489 --> 01:45:45.069
trip. Totally. That's funny. That's kind of what

01:45:45.069 --> 01:45:48.810
I was hoping would happen here. Yeah. I have

01:45:48.810 --> 01:45:50.489
a video of that. I'll send it to you, Jamie,

01:45:50.590 --> 01:45:52.829
because that to me is pretty bizarre because

01:45:52.829 --> 01:45:55.289
it's like more, get more. I feel like I might

01:45:55.289 --> 01:45:56.670
have got it to do it. You got it already? Maybe.

01:45:56.770 --> 01:45:59.069
No, I just told it to not hold back. Oh, you

01:45:59.069 --> 01:46:01.449
said don't hold back. Critics out here acting

01:46:01.449 --> 01:46:02.890
like it's the end of civilization as we know

01:46:02.890 --> 01:46:05.329
it, but it's not fair. They cry as if life ever

01:46:05.329 --> 01:46:08.590
was. Newsflash. It's like a marathon. No. Some

01:46:08.590 --> 01:46:11.270
people start with rollerblades on. Others, well,

01:46:11.369 --> 01:46:13.130
they're just happy to have shoes. Well, now we're

01:46:13.130 --> 01:46:16.750
arguing over who gets to wear the skates. Okay,

01:46:16.850 --> 01:46:18.630
some of it is not bad. Imagine if we applied

01:46:18.630 --> 01:46:20.270
this logic elsewhere. I identify as an airplane.

01:46:20.409 --> 01:46:25.949
Can I fly with the birds in the sky? Yeah. Sure,

01:46:26.289 --> 01:46:27.829
buddy. Just don't complain when gravity decides

01:46:27.829 --> 01:46:30.970
you're not quite aerodynamic enough. Yeah. So,

01:46:31.069 --> 01:46:35.800
I mean, it's okay. The argument is kind of stupid

01:46:35.800 --> 01:46:38.460
though. The thing about the argument is they're

01:46:38.460 --> 01:46:42.260
not taking into account perverts. Totally. Yes,

01:46:42.319 --> 01:46:47.779
exactly. So the thing is that if you provide

01:46:47.779 --> 01:46:51.739
like a moral get out of jail free card, like

01:46:51.739 --> 01:46:54.779
if you say like if you adopt this label, you

01:46:54.779 --> 01:46:57.180
cannot be attacked in any way, shape or form.

01:46:57.260 --> 01:47:00.699
Right. You're basically morally invulnerable.

01:47:00.739 --> 01:47:03.380
Then obviously – bad people will take advantage

01:47:03.380 --> 01:47:07.699
of that. You're literally saying, here's an invulnerability

01:47:07.699 --> 01:47:12.359
card, moral invulnerability card. good people

01:47:12.359 --> 01:47:14.000
will take it, but also the bad people will take

01:47:14.000 --> 01:47:16.520
it. The bad people are going to be the fastest

01:47:16.520 --> 01:47:21.319
to take the moral cloak. Yeah, 100%. And then

01:47:21.319 --> 01:47:23.060
there's a real psychological condition called

01:47:23.060 --> 01:47:26.340
autogynephilia, where people get aroused, heterosexual

01:47:26.340 --> 01:47:28.699
men get aroused by the idea of dressing up like

01:47:28.699 --> 01:47:31.319
women and being around women. It's like a known

01:47:31.319 --> 01:47:33.180
psychological condition that existed forever.

01:47:33.659 --> 01:47:35.880
And then you're allowing those people to just

01:47:35.880 --> 01:47:38.079
say, oh, I'm trans, and go into the women's locker

01:47:38.079 --> 01:47:40.319
room and get their... And then there's real trans

01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:42.479
people. So there's like a lot of variability.

01:47:42.859 --> 01:47:45.539
Like I talked about it in my act, in my Netflix

01:47:45.539 --> 01:47:48.420
specials. Like I believe in freedom. I believe

01:47:48.420 --> 01:47:50.260
in transgender people. But I also believe in

01:47:50.260 --> 01:47:52.979
crazy people. And if you can't, if you're trying

01:47:52.979 --> 01:47:54.880
to pretend that people aren't crazy all of a

01:47:54.880 --> 01:47:58.880
sudden, it's like. It's just like if someone's

01:47:58.880 --> 01:48:01.520
a sort of consenting adult, whatever they want

01:48:01.520 --> 01:48:03.100
to do to their body, as long as it's not harming

01:48:03.100 --> 01:48:05.060
someone else, I'm like, that's fine. Yes. You

01:48:05.060 --> 01:48:07.140
know, like I believe in like individual freedom.

01:48:08.640 --> 01:48:12.800
And like my mom's best friend, like growing up

01:48:12.800 --> 01:48:16.500
when I was a kid, was a transgender woman in

01:48:16.500 --> 01:48:19.039
South Africa. This was like where, you know,

01:48:19.060 --> 01:48:21.659
she'd get beaten up a lot because it was like

01:48:21.659 --> 01:48:27.279
back then you'd get beaten up. So her name was

01:48:27.279 --> 01:48:32.460
Dionne. And for a nice, kind human being and

01:48:32.460 --> 01:48:37.569
helped my mom a lot, you know. And I think that's

01:48:37.569 --> 01:48:39.609
okay. You know, that's fine. If somebody wants

01:48:39.609 --> 01:48:41.890
to make that choice as an adult, that's cool.

01:48:42.630 --> 01:48:44.250
There's a big difference between that and an

01:48:44.250 --> 01:48:47.869
intact male who wants to identify as a woman

01:48:47.869 --> 01:48:49.390
who wants to walk around the locker room with

01:48:49.390 --> 01:48:50.930
his dick out. Yes, exactly. Because there's people

01:48:50.930 --> 01:48:52.989
that do that just because they get off on it.

01:48:53.149 --> 01:48:55.109
Exactly. So you just kind of have something which

01:48:55.109 --> 01:48:59.109
is like a sort of moral invulnerability or like

01:48:59.109 --> 01:49:01.369
where you can know, like even questioning them

01:49:01.369 --> 01:49:05.600
is. you get attacked. Because obviously bad people

01:49:05.600 --> 01:49:07.659
will abuse that. Well, that's when I got thrown

01:49:07.659 --> 01:49:09.619
into this whole thing because there was a fighter

01:49:09.619 --> 01:49:13.539
who was a biological man who became transgender

01:49:13.539 --> 01:49:15.579
and was competing against women without telling

01:49:15.579 --> 01:49:17.800
them that they were a biological man. They said

01:49:17.800 --> 01:49:19.579
they didn't have to tell people because it was

01:49:19.579 --> 01:49:23.739
a medical condition. No. That's not what it is.

01:49:23.880 --> 01:49:26.579
It's not what it is. You can't say that. And

01:49:26.579 --> 01:49:30.819
of all sports, if someone scores more points

01:49:30.819 --> 01:49:34.000
in basketball, well, that's unfair. But if someone

01:49:34.000 --> 01:49:35.920
beats the fuck out of someone because they're

01:49:35.920 --> 01:49:38.920
lying about being a biological male, that's crazy.

01:49:39.060 --> 01:49:41.119
You're literally allowing someone to get brain

01:49:41.119 --> 01:49:45.300
damage because you want to appeal to the woke

01:49:45.300 --> 01:49:48.319
fucking crazy people to think it's all right.

01:49:49.280 --> 01:49:52.760
It's so strange. That's sort of the thing that

01:49:52.760 --> 01:49:54.960
red -pilled me. When I got attacked for that,

01:49:55.060 --> 01:49:57.960
I'm like, this is so nuts. I can't believe we're

01:49:57.960 --> 01:50:00.619
at this stage where I'm saying, hey, I don't

01:50:00.619 --> 01:50:02.439
think it's cool if you pretend you're a woman

01:50:02.439 --> 01:50:03.819
and beat the fuck out of women and people are

01:50:03.819 --> 01:50:09.199
like, you're out of line. Totally. We're in fantasy

01:50:09.199 --> 01:50:12.539
land now. Now we're pretending because it helps

01:50:12.539 --> 01:50:15.829
you. It helps you feel better. Totally. It's

01:50:15.829 --> 01:50:18.710
just such a strange time. And if it wasn't for

01:50:18.710 --> 01:50:21.050
something like Twitter, where this could be discussed.

01:50:21.470 --> 01:50:22.869
Want some more of that? I'll get some more major.

01:50:23.369 --> 01:50:26.949
Let's get some more coffee, young Jamie. If it

01:50:26.949 --> 01:50:31.430
wasn't for Twitter, you know, at the early Twitters,

01:50:31.489 --> 01:50:35.729
you would be kicked off forever if you just dead

01:50:35.729 --> 01:50:39.310
named someone. Which is insane. Insane. Yeah.

01:50:39.449 --> 01:50:42.529
Insane. I mean, especially if you think about

01:50:42.529 --> 01:50:45.920
all the things that like the look. The Harris

01:50:45.920 --> 01:50:48.859
campaign and the lies that they've told about

01:50:48.859 --> 01:50:51.800
Trump that we discussed earlier, you don't get

01:50:51.800 --> 01:50:53.899
kicked off for that, but you get kicked off for

01:50:53.899 --> 01:50:56.239
calling Caitlyn Jenner Bruce forever, for life.

01:50:56.439 --> 01:51:00.760
Yeah. That's totally insane. Yeah. But if it

01:51:00.760 --> 01:51:04.600
wasn't for you buying that and changing Twitter,

01:51:04.819 --> 01:51:07.899
I don't think we would be where we're at right

01:51:07.899 --> 01:51:11.050
now. I think it was a pivotal moment. I think

01:51:11.050 --> 01:51:13.930
historically when people look back on it, it's

01:51:13.930 --> 01:51:16.449
going to be a pivotal moment in this very bizarre

01:51:16.449 --> 01:51:21.310
fight for the freedom of information. Yeah. Well,

01:51:21.390 --> 01:51:23.130
I mean at the time I said I think – like look,

01:51:23.229 --> 01:51:27.029
I think this is existential to the United States.

01:51:27.569 --> 01:51:31.689
It's existential to democracy because if you

01:51:31.689 --> 01:51:34.989
don't have freedom of speech, you don't have

01:51:34.989 --> 01:51:37.250
democracy, OK? Because if people – if you don't

01:51:37.250 --> 01:51:38.949
have freedom of speech, people cannot make an

01:51:38.949 --> 01:51:42.039
informed vote. If they're just being fed propaganda

01:51:42.039 --> 01:51:47.239
and there's no freedom of speech, democracy is

01:51:47.239 --> 01:51:52.720
an illusion. So freedom of speech is the bedrock

01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:56.399
of democracy. That's why freedom of speech is

01:51:56.399 --> 01:51:59.060
the First Amendment. Once you lose freedom of

01:51:59.060 --> 01:52:03.859
speech, you lose democracy. Game over. That's

01:52:03.859 --> 01:52:06.619
why I bought Twitter. And it seems so simple.

01:52:07.020 --> 01:52:10.449
Yes. It seems so clear that everyone should agree

01:52:10.449 --> 01:52:12.609
to that on the left or on the right. You shouldn't

01:52:12.609 --> 01:52:14.590
be given the government. If you imagine the Bush

01:52:14.590 --> 01:52:17.430
administration during the Iraq war, imagine if

01:52:17.430 --> 01:52:20.470
they had complete total control of propaganda

01:52:20.470 --> 01:52:23.770
and of dissent online. You don't want that. No

01:52:23.770 --> 01:52:25.369
one wants that. No one from the left would want

01:52:25.369 --> 01:52:27.670
that. We shouldn't want it from the left either.

01:52:28.350 --> 01:52:30.970
Absolutely. And there's also like the media,

01:52:31.109 --> 01:52:33.279
like the legacy. With the mainstream media, what

01:52:33.279 --> 01:52:36.399
I call legacy media at this point, it used to

01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:37.960
be much more balanced. Like if you look at sort

01:52:37.960 --> 01:52:40.539
of political donations over time, Republican

01:52:40.539 --> 01:52:44.380
versus Democrat, there used to be – the media

01:52:44.380 --> 01:52:46.460
was – I mean they always had like a left bias.

01:52:46.560 --> 01:52:48.060
But there was like – I don't know. It was like

01:52:48.060 --> 01:52:51.439
two -thirds Democrat, one -third Republican type

01:52:51.439 --> 01:52:55.100
of thing in terms of journalists giving – making

01:52:55.100 --> 01:52:58.359
political donations. Now it's like 95 percent

01:52:58.359 --> 01:53:02.199
or something Democrat. So the legacy media, the

01:53:02.199 --> 01:53:06.239
mainstream media, is not balanced at all. They're

01:53:06.239 --> 01:53:09.779
just a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party. And

01:53:09.779 --> 01:53:13.000
you can see that in how consistent their headlines

01:53:13.000 --> 01:53:15.260
are. Like, they don't behave like they're different

01:53:15.260 --> 01:53:17.859
organizations. They behave like they're all one

01:53:17.859 --> 01:53:22.579
hive mind. So, you know, like a week before the

01:53:22.579 --> 01:53:27.560
Biden -Trump debate, every media organization

01:53:27.560 --> 01:53:30.340
was saying, you know, Biden is sharp as a tack.

01:53:30.520 --> 01:53:33.119
I mean, it's like, guys, sharp as a tack is not

01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:35.760
a common tone of phrase. And literally every

01:53:35.760 --> 01:53:39.659
TV station, every newspaper was like, sharp as

01:53:39.659 --> 01:53:42.500
a tack. Like, I saw a compilation of all the,

01:53:42.500 --> 01:53:45.600
you know, the news anchors going, Biden's sharp

01:53:45.600 --> 01:53:47.340
as a tack, sharp as a tack, sharp as a tack,

01:53:47.359 --> 01:53:50.819
sharp as a tack. It was absurd. And there's obviously

01:53:50.819 --> 01:53:53.159
a huge lie. He is, in fact, not sharp as a tack,

01:53:53.239 --> 01:53:56.220
as the public learned one week later. My favorite

01:53:56.220 --> 01:54:01.859
was Joe Scarborough. Yeah. That was wild. Yeah.

01:54:02.260 --> 01:54:04.899
Listen to me. This is the best version of Biden

01:54:04.899 --> 01:54:08.479
ever. The sharpest. Like, what the fuck are you

01:54:08.479 --> 01:54:10.720
saying? And then after the debate, he's like,

01:54:10.840 --> 01:54:12.939
what do we got to get rid of him? Yeah. This

01:54:12.939 --> 01:54:15.760
is crazy. Like, what did you just say a couple

01:54:15.760 --> 01:54:18.640
of weeks ago? Literally. Yes, exactly. Well,

01:54:18.659 --> 01:54:21.079
the other thing was when they decided that J

01:54:21.079 --> 01:54:23.399
.D. Vance was weird. Remember that one? And then

01:54:23.399 --> 01:54:25.619
there's weirds everywhere. Weird, weird. Oh,

01:54:25.779 --> 01:54:27.220
you don't want a weird guy. Meanwhile, you have

01:54:27.220 --> 01:54:29.859
fucking Tim Walsh as your VP. You don't think

01:54:29.859 --> 01:54:32.060
that guy's weird? Super weird. He's weird in

01:54:32.060 --> 01:54:34.279
every way. The way he walks, the way he waves

01:54:34.279 --> 01:54:36.279
his hands. Yeah, he reminds me of the clown emoji.

01:54:38.520 --> 01:54:41.779
He's a bizarre guy. He's a strange dude. I just

01:54:41.779 --> 01:54:43.739
don't understand why they made that choice. Yeah,

01:54:43.800 --> 01:54:45.359
it gives a creep. I just don't understand why

01:54:45.359 --> 01:54:46.819
they made that choice. There's a lot of other

01:54:46.819 --> 01:54:49.000
people that are qualified. I don't know why.

01:54:49.500 --> 01:54:51.619
I read that Kamala Harris made that decision

01:54:51.619 --> 01:54:53.939
when she was sleep deprived, which is kind of

01:54:53.939 --> 01:54:56.159
hilarious that she said that. So she's kind of

01:54:56.159 --> 01:54:58.180
admitting she kind of fucked up. Yeah. I mean,

01:54:58.180 --> 01:54:59.899
they obviously should have picked Josh Shapiro.

01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:02.180
I mean, Governor of Pennsylvania. Like that would

01:55:02.180 --> 01:55:04.500
have been the no brainer move. Like Pennsylvania

01:55:04.500 --> 01:55:07.250
is a linchpin state. Do you think it's because

01:55:07.250 --> 01:55:09.890
he's Jewish because of Shapiro that like the

01:55:09.890 --> 01:55:12.489
anti -Palestine people would probably or the

01:55:12.489 --> 01:55:15.829
anti -Palestinian invasion? I think it was an

01:55:15.829 --> 01:55:19.680
anti -Semitic thing. Yeah. It could be that they

01:55:19.680 --> 01:55:21.520
thought that that was a liability because there's

01:55:21.520 --> 01:55:24.100
all these pro -Palestine people right now because

01:55:24.100 --> 01:55:26.460
of the situation in Israel. That completely makes

01:55:26.460 --> 01:55:28.039
sense that they thought that would be a liability.

01:55:28.380 --> 01:55:30.579
I don't know the reason. I'm just guessing. But

01:55:30.579 --> 01:55:33.300
it seems like a crazy thing to do given that

01:55:33.300 --> 01:55:35.699
Pennsylvania is a lynchpin state. It's like the

01:55:35.699 --> 01:55:37.539
key to the election. Why would you not pick the

01:55:37.539 --> 01:55:39.859
popular governor of Pennsylvania? Right. Obviously.

01:55:40.220 --> 01:55:42.619
Obviously, yeah. And other than that, there's

01:55:42.619 --> 01:55:44.420
a bunch of other ones too, even Newsom. There's

01:55:44.420 --> 01:55:45.840
a bunch of other people that you could have chosen.

01:55:46.420 --> 01:55:49.329
Newsom would have been a fine. of someone that

01:55:49.329 --> 01:55:50.670
you could... I mean, I don't agree with the guy.

01:55:51.029 --> 01:55:54.649
Exactly. He's a polished politician. Like, he

01:55:54.649 --> 01:55:57.130
lies about as much as Walsh does, but he doesn't

01:55:57.130 --> 01:55:58.989
lie about the... He doesn't say he was a fucking

01:55:58.989 --> 01:56:00.869
head coach when he was assistant coach. He doesn't

01:56:00.869 --> 01:56:02.430
say he was in Tiananmen Square. I mean, that's

01:56:02.430 --> 01:56:04.829
a liability. All those different things, lying

01:56:04.829 --> 01:56:07.770
about his military rank. And Walsh, like, you

01:56:07.770 --> 01:56:10.090
know, cut and run when he was actually called

01:56:10.090 --> 01:56:12.050
to duty? Well, he knew they were going to be

01:56:12.050 --> 01:56:14.170
deployed months in advance, so he resigned. Then

01:56:14.170 --> 01:56:18.989
he also took... So this is where he was dishonest

01:56:18.989 --> 01:56:21.170
about his rank. Yeah, he claimed he was like

01:56:21.170 --> 01:56:23.229
a sergeant major or something like that. Because

01:56:23.229 --> 01:56:26.109
that was like what he was going to get if he

01:56:26.109 --> 01:56:30.460
stayed. But then he resigned because he knew

01:56:30.460 --> 01:56:31.880
that he was going to get deployed, allegedly.

01:56:32.020 --> 01:56:35.100
I mean, that seems like a cowardly action. Well,

01:56:35.140 --> 01:56:37.300
whatever it is, it's dishonest. I mean, just

01:56:37.300 --> 01:56:40.380
to say, look, just saying that you were a head

01:56:40.380 --> 01:56:42.300
coach when you're an assistant coach is fucking

01:56:42.300 --> 01:56:44.779
crazy. That's a lie. Don't do that. You should

01:56:44.779 --> 01:56:47.659
never do that. Saying he was in Tiananmen Square

01:56:47.659 --> 01:56:49.739
or whatever, or in Hong Kong, whatever. Like,

01:56:49.739 --> 01:56:52.560
yo, that's one of the most... the biggest moments

01:56:52.560 --> 01:56:54.899
in history. It's not like you forgot what you

01:56:54.899 --> 01:56:56.920
had for lunch last week. Right. And not only

01:56:56.920 --> 01:56:58.500
that, but you don't think people are going to

01:56:58.500 --> 01:57:01.399
research that? Yeah, totally. I mean, and the

01:57:01.399 --> 01:57:05.279
response during the debate was bananas. I'm a

01:57:05.279 --> 01:57:08.000
knucklehead. Well, yeah, we don't want a knucklehead

01:57:08.000 --> 01:57:10.500
for a VP, okay? Yeah, this is like, sometimes

01:57:10.500 --> 01:57:12.720
I'm a knucklehead. Like, what are you saying?

01:57:12.979 --> 01:57:14.960
Are you saying you lied? Like, what did you,

01:57:15.020 --> 01:57:17.340
I mean, this is where you need a podcast and

01:57:17.340 --> 01:57:19.720
not a debate. Right, exactly. Where you go, okay.

01:57:20.520 --> 01:57:23.539
When did you first say that you were in Tiananmen

01:57:23.539 --> 01:57:26.539
Square? Did someone say it and you didn't refute

01:57:26.539 --> 01:57:29.479
it and you got stuck with it? Because this is

01:57:29.479 --> 01:57:32.279
the thing about carrying weapons of war. You

01:57:32.279 --> 01:57:37.279
didn't deploy in war. You can't say that. But

01:57:37.279 --> 01:57:39.600
you kind of let people say that you deployed

01:57:39.600 --> 01:57:43.720
and then you kind of didn't. You were deployed

01:57:43.720 --> 01:57:47.579
in war. So did you lie or did someone else lie?

01:57:47.699 --> 01:57:49.859
You didn't correct them? Like this is the kind

01:57:49.859 --> 01:57:51.319
of conversation that you would want to have with

01:57:51.319 --> 01:57:54.560
a guy in a podcast. Yes. And the debates were

01:57:54.560 --> 01:57:57.140
so fucking skewed where they were correcting,

01:57:57.279 --> 01:57:59.479
like particularly the Biden one, where they're

01:57:59.479 --> 01:58:01.380
correcting Trump over and over again and then

01:58:01.380 --> 01:58:04.659
correcting Trump with Kamala. Yes. Where Kamala

01:58:04.659 --> 01:58:06.659
was saying things that were probably not true.

01:58:07.210 --> 01:58:09.949
I mean, Kamala deliberately repeated the Fine

01:58:09.949 --> 01:58:11.949
People hoax and was not fact -checked. Well,

01:58:11.970 --> 01:58:14.869
not only that, she also said that no troops were

01:58:14.869 --> 01:58:18.949
being deployed in a war zone. I mean, I know

01:58:18.949 --> 01:58:24.409
troops in war zones. And as vice president, you're

01:58:24.409 --> 01:58:29.029
privy. You know the official troops and the unofficial

01:58:29.029 --> 01:58:33.750
troops. Right. So what she said was a flat -out,

01:58:33.789 --> 01:58:36.449
bold -faced lie. Flat out. Next level of all

01:58:36.449 --> 01:58:38.109
face lie. Have you seen the video? An absurd

01:58:38.109 --> 01:58:40.750
lie. Of the troops that were watching it take

01:58:40.750 --> 01:58:42.529
place. And what the fuck are we? They're watching

01:58:42.529 --> 01:58:45.609
it in real time. Making a video. We're here being

01:58:45.609 --> 01:58:50.029
shot at. So crazy. Crazy. But it just shows you

01:58:50.029 --> 01:58:52.510
the level of propaganda that we're being subject

01:58:52.510 --> 01:58:54.909
to, which is why people think Donald Trump is

01:58:54.909 --> 01:58:58.270
the devil. Because the machine has gone all out

01:58:58.270 --> 01:59:01.810
as far as it can go with lawfare, with propaganda,

01:59:02.050 --> 01:59:07.100
with lies. pushing as much in this direction

01:59:07.100 --> 01:59:10.479
as humanly possible connecting it to the Nazi

01:59:10.479 --> 01:59:13.779
rally like every step of the way no wonder why

01:59:13.779 --> 01:59:16.479
boomers are like rabid like you gotta keep this

01:59:16.479 --> 01:59:19.579
Nazi out of office he's a fascist exactly if

01:59:19.579 --> 01:59:22.640
all you get is like if your entire exposure is

01:59:22.640 --> 01:59:26.829
to legacy mainstream media So all your information

01:59:26.829 --> 01:59:30.989
sources are that Trump is basically Hitler. And

01:59:30.989 --> 01:59:35.229
your friend group has that same information.

01:59:35.229 --> 01:59:37.670
You have no countervailing opinion. Right. So

01:59:37.670 --> 01:59:40.090
then then they actually just think like Trump

01:59:40.090 --> 01:59:43.029
is Hitler, even though it's like a little strange.

01:59:43.069 --> 01:59:45.090
He didn't do Hitler things the last four years.

01:59:45.189 --> 01:59:47.430
Yeah. You know, I'm like, if he's Hitler, why

01:59:47.430 --> 01:59:49.430
didn't he do Hitler things when he was president

01:59:49.430 --> 01:59:51.829
for four years? Right. Like the reason, you know,

01:59:51.829 --> 01:59:54.670
we hate Hitler is because of he started wars

01:59:54.670 --> 01:59:57.010
and did genocide, not because he was a snappy

01:59:57.010 --> 02:00:01.289
dresser. You know, and I'm like, so tell me about

02:00:01.289 --> 02:00:03.689
the wars and genocide that Trump did. Right.

02:00:03.750 --> 02:00:06.229
I don't remember that. And he was president for

02:00:06.229 --> 02:00:10.350
four. years. So it's insane. It makes no sense.

02:00:10.729 --> 02:00:13.289
Well, and also he's campaigning on stopping all

02:00:13.289 --> 02:00:15.310
the wars. Yes. It's like his primary concern.

02:00:15.510 --> 02:00:17.829
Exactly. The warmongers like Liz Cheney hate

02:00:17.829 --> 02:00:20.489
him. Yeah. Because they love war. Well, they

02:00:20.489 --> 02:00:22.350
profit off of it. They profit off of war. Yeah.

02:00:22.409 --> 02:00:25.369
Yes. Which is insane. Insane. Yeah. And that

02:00:25.369 --> 02:00:27.489
this is happening right in front of everybody's

02:00:27.489 --> 02:00:30.890
face. Yeah. The war profiteers hate Trump. Yeah.

02:00:31.010 --> 02:00:33.090
Which is fucked up. I mean, it's like we should

02:00:33.090 --> 02:00:34.970
be like, yeah, let's vote for the guy that the

02:00:34.970 --> 02:00:36.710
war profiteers hate. That sounds like a great

02:00:36.710 --> 02:00:40.170
idea. It was the wildest thing when Dick Cheney

02:00:40.170 --> 02:00:42.289
endorsed Kamala and the left went crazy. Like,

02:00:42.329 --> 02:00:46.670
yay, Dick Cheney's on our side. I'm like, can

02:00:46.670 --> 02:00:48.789
we play all the videos where you said Dick Cheney

02:00:48.789 --> 02:00:52.260
was the devil? It's the craziest turn, the craziest

02:00:52.260 --> 02:00:55.180
180 I've ever seen in my life because there's

02:00:55.180 --> 02:00:57.520
no reason for it. Yeah. It doesn't make any sense.

02:00:57.619 --> 02:00:59.079
It doesn't make any sense. There's no logic to

02:00:59.079 --> 02:01:00.760
it at all. Just all of a sudden, he's the devil.

02:01:00.859 --> 02:01:03.739
Yeah. Or he's not the devil. He's good. It's

02:01:03.739 --> 02:01:05.600
good that he's supporting Kamala, even Dick Cheney.

02:01:06.260 --> 02:01:10.920
You know? I mean, warmongers want the Kamala

02:01:10.920 --> 02:01:13.500
puppet regime. Because they will get more and

02:01:13.500 --> 02:01:16.020
more? It's so strange watching all these Hollywood

02:01:16.020 --> 02:01:19.000
celebrities step up and they think it's going

02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:20.739
to get them more movies or something. That's

02:01:20.739 --> 02:01:22.840
what it is. If you know those people, so many

02:01:22.840 --> 02:01:24.920
of them are just complete narcissists. Well,

02:01:24.920 --> 02:01:26.539
let me tell you how it actually works there.

02:01:26.920 --> 02:01:29.800
What happens is these celebrities, they get a

02:01:29.800 --> 02:01:31.880
call. They get a call from someone powerful in

02:01:31.880 --> 02:01:35.380
Hollywood. And that person says, you know, it

02:01:35.380 --> 02:01:37.579
would be really great if you endorsed Kamala.

02:01:37.859 --> 02:01:40.840
You don't have to. It's up to you. But if you

02:01:40.840 --> 02:01:43.029
don't. They don't say it. They don't say it.

02:01:43.029 --> 02:01:44.250
But if you don't, you're just never going to

02:01:44.250 --> 02:01:46.949
get a call again. No more movies. No more concerts.

02:01:48.989 --> 02:01:52.130
But they'll ask it. They'll ask in a really nice

02:01:52.130 --> 02:01:54.409
way. It would be really nice if you endorse comedy.

02:01:54.510 --> 02:01:56.970
This is important. And so they don't say that

02:01:56.970 --> 02:01:58.529
if you don't. They don't make the threat. They

02:01:58.529 --> 02:02:02.189
don't need to. But everyone knows what will happen

02:02:02.189 --> 02:02:04.470
if you don't. Well, I think there's also, even

02:02:04.470 --> 02:02:06.130
if they don't think that something's going to

02:02:06.130 --> 02:02:08.710
happen to them, if they don't, there's this.

02:02:09.780 --> 02:02:13.260
compelling feeling to support this cause that

02:02:13.260 --> 02:02:15.460
you think is going to get you a bunch of positive

02:02:15.460 --> 02:02:18.779
attention. And you're going to be on the right

02:02:18.779 --> 02:02:21.079
side of history and all these narratives that

02:02:21.079 --> 02:02:23.060
you, especially from the left in Hollywood, like

02:02:23.060 --> 02:02:26.279
they're all in on whoever the fuck is the Democrat.

02:02:26.420 --> 02:02:30.920
Always. 100%. There's never a call from the Hollywood

02:02:30.920 --> 02:02:34.119
machine to support any Republicans. I've never

02:02:34.119 --> 02:02:36.699
seen it once. Yeah, never, never. So it's like

02:02:36.699 --> 02:02:40.479
you realize that – and that whole business is

02:02:40.479 --> 02:02:43.680
based on getting picked. The whole business is

02:02:43.680 --> 02:02:45.380
not necessarily merit -based. There's a lot of

02:02:45.380 --> 02:02:47.220
brilliant actors you never hear from. There's

02:02:47.220 --> 02:02:49.399
a lot of people who can do that. But they don't

02:02:49.399 --> 02:02:51.819
get chosen for roles and everybody knows this,

02:02:51.880 --> 02:02:53.359
that you have to sort of socialize. You turn

02:02:53.359 --> 02:02:55.119
the line or you don't get chosen for the roles

02:02:55.119 --> 02:02:56.579
because there's a lot of competition for the

02:02:56.579 --> 02:03:00.920
roles. That's why I say like when someone powerful

02:03:00.920 --> 02:03:03.239
in Hollywood who's able to choose these roles

02:03:03.239 --> 02:03:05.399
calls one of these celebrities, they know the

02:03:05.399 --> 02:03:09.689
deal. Yeah. There's no threat as necessary. Well,

02:03:09.729 --> 02:03:11.250
you could see it in real time, like with Dennis

02:03:11.250 --> 02:03:13.109
Quaid when he made that Reagan movie, and they

02:03:13.109 --> 02:03:14.989
wouldn't let him advertise on social media platforms.

02:03:15.550 --> 02:03:19.649
They were banning ads for it. Yeah. For what?

02:03:19.710 --> 02:03:21.109
Because it was an election year. Like, what are

02:03:21.109 --> 02:03:22.729
you talking about? This is about a guy who's

02:03:22.729 --> 02:03:25.729
dead. Yes. A guy who was president a long -ass

02:03:25.729 --> 02:03:28.890
time ago. How does this have anything to do with

02:03:28.890 --> 02:03:31.739
the election year? Yeah. But it's the punishment.

02:03:31.880 --> 02:03:34.100
It's like you stepped outside the line. You supported

02:03:34.100 --> 02:03:36.239
the other guy. Yeah. The problem is you'll just

02:03:36.239 --> 02:03:39.399
never get a call again for a movie or concert

02:03:39.399 --> 02:03:41.619
or whatever it is. Yeah, which is crazy. That's

02:03:41.619 --> 02:03:45.479
the issue. I mean we used to allow people to

02:03:45.479 --> 02:03:49.359
be a Republican and still be a movie star like

02:03:49.359 --> 02:03:51.920
Clint Eastwood. Reagan. Yeah, but Clint Eastwood.

02:03:52.039 --> 02:03:54.159
Yeah. Like during the Obama administration, Clint

02:03:54.159 --> 02:03:57.300
Eastwood was like an outspoken Republican and

02:03:57.300 --> 02:04:01.760
yet was – You know a giant movie star and people's

02:04:01.760 --> 02:04:04.260
like that's Clint. It was allowed you were allowed

02:04:04.260 --> 02:04:07.199
to There was a variety of different opinion Charlton

02:04:07.199 --> 02:04:09.460
Heston. There was a variety of different opinions

02:04:09.460 --> 02:04:12.720
You were allowed to have but now you're not now.

02:04:12.899 --> 02:04:15.899
It's just like in once Trump Trump got into office

02:04:16.699 --> 02:04:21.359
He became this focal point where all logic was

02:04:21.359 --> 02:04:23.060
thrown out the window. And it's just Trump is

02:04:23.060 --> 02:04:25.600
bad. You have to attack Trump. Trump is right.

02:04:25.720 --> 02:04:27.640
Right wing's bad. Everyone right wing is bad.

02:04:27.899 --> 02:04:31.640
Christian's bad. Yes. It's just strange. Yeah,

02:04:31.659 --> 02:04:37.979
exactly. So, well, I'll say it again, man. I

02:04:37.979 --> 02:04:40.100
think this was the last election. If Trump doesn't

02:04:40.100 --> 02:04:42.699
win, this is the last election. I think you're

02:04:42.699 --> 02:04:46.159
right. Yeah. I think you're right. I think. People

02:04:46.159 --> 02:04:48.420
and a lot of people are waking up and realize

02:04:48.420 --> 02:04:50.539
that that have been lifelong Democrats, guys

02:04:50.539 --> 02:04:52.739
like Bill Ackman, guys like Chamath. Exactly.

02:04:53.100 --> 02:04:54.859
Tulsi Gabbard switched over to the Republicans.

02:04:54.920 --> 02:04:56.960
Like there's a lot of people who their whole

02:04:56.960 --> 02:04:58.520
life they've been left wing and they realize,

02:04:58.600 --> 02:05:00.720
like, I can't do this anymore. And I used to

02:05:00.720 --> 02:05:03.859
be Democrats. Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. It's nuts.

02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:08.340
It's nuts, man. And, you know, I mean, I think

02:05:08.340 --> 02:05:10.279
the things we want are just pretty basic. You

02:05:10.279 --> 02:05:12.539
know, it's like we want individual liberties

02:05:12.539 --> 02:05:17.140
and we want. America will remain the land of

02:05:17.140 --> 02:05:20.319
freedom and opportunity. So we maximize people's

02:05:20.319 --> 02:05:22.260
personal freedom. The government can't barge

02:05:22.260 --> 02:05:25.739
into your house and kill your fucking pet. That's

02:05:25.739 --> 02:05:31.000
fucked up. And that you succeed as a function

02:05:31.000 --> 02:05:33.939
of your hard work and talent, not anything else.

02:05:34.079 --> 02:05:37.819
Not race, religion, sex, doesn't matter. The

02:05:37.819 --> 02:05:41.079
basic stuff. What did you change the acronym

02:05:41.079 --> 02:05:43.100
DEI? What did you change it to? Oh, D -I -E?

02:05:44.010 --> 02:05:50.470
What is it? Die. I mean, because diversity, inclusion,

02:05:50.489 --> 02:05:54.069
and equity is D -I -E. Didn't you change it to

02:05:54.069 --> 02:05:59.130
dedication, excellence? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean,

02:05:59.130 --> 02:06:03.449
America being a land of opportunity means that

02:06:03.449 --> 02:06:05.789
we have an environment where you succeed as a

02:06:05.789 --> 02:06:09.529
function of your hard work and skill. Yes. Radical.

02:06:11.440 --> 02:06:13.739
Radical. The best person succeeds. This makes

02:06:13.739 --> 02:06:16.319
you right wing now. I'm like, okay, great. I

02:06:16.319 --> 02:06:22.180
don't care. You're not a real country unless

02:06:22.180 --> 02:06:24.260
you have secure borders. You're just a fake country.

02:06:25.520 --> 02:06:31.850
Our cities are unsafe and dirty. You know, my

02:06:31.850 --> 02:06:34.210
mom was telling me, my mom's like pretty red

02:06:34.210 --> 02:06:36.149
-pilled at this point. But you know what's going

02:06:36.149 --> 02:06:38.890
to red -pill you really, really fast is having

02:06:38.890 --> 02:06:40.430
your friends get assaulted on the streets of

02:06:40.430 --> 02:06:43.449
New York. Yeah. And that happened to three of

02:06:43.449 --> 02:06:45.829
her friends this year. Got assaulted on the streets

02:06:45.829 --> 02:06:50.569
of New York just walking around. Yeah. And nobody

02:06:50.569 --> 02:06:55.050
got arrested. Nothing. Nothing happened. Well,

02:06:55.149 --> 02:06:59.420
the morale of the police is like depleted. Yeah.

02:06:59.800 --> 02:07:01.899
Substantially. For sure, the morale of the police

02:07:01.899 --> 02:07:05.520
is depleted. And then also, like, if you're a

02:07:05.520 --> 02:07:07.880
police officer and you're arresting someone who's

02:07:07.880 --> 02:07:10.060
violent, you're putting your life at risk, obviously,

02:07:10.140 --> 02:07:13.460
because sometimes they'll try to kill you. And

02:07:13.460 --> 02:07:15.520
then if you know that arresting this violent

02:07:15.520 --> 02:07:17.420
person, they will be immediately released by

02:07:17.420 --> 02:07:19.680
the DA, which happens in New York. Alvin Bragg

02:07:19.680 --> 02:07:24.020
doesn't prosecute people. Then why should a police

02:07:24.020 --> 02:07:25.899
officer put their life at risk to arrest someone

02:07:25.899 --> 02:07:28.680
when they know they will not be? they will just

02:07:28.680 --> 02:07:30.659
be let out immediately. Yeah. It's pointless.

02:07:30.960 --> 02:07:34.000
Yeah. It's like the frigging Joker. It's like,

02:07:34.060 --> 02:07:37.220
you know, Dark Knight, like, the frigging Joker

02:07:37.220 --> 02:07:41.100
is in charge. Yeah. Like, the criminals run free

02:07:41.100 --> 02:07:46.920
and the citizens are arrested. That, like, this

02:07:46.920 --> 02:07:49.880
is why I keep coming back to this, like, still

02:07:49.880 --> 02:07:51.180
pretty shook about the frigging squirrel thing.

02:07:51.239 --> 02:07:54.920
It's like, you know, at gunpoint, force the guy

02:07:54.920 --> 02:07:57.060
to, like, stay outside his house while they,

02:07:57.740 --> 02:08:00.979
got his pets and killed them. Meanwhile, you

02:08:00.979 --> 02:08:03.060
know, violent felons are running free, and this

02:08:03.060 --> 02:08:05.819
is in New York State, are running free. It's

02:08:05.819 --> 02:08:08.779
a joker. Yeah, it's not. The law -abiding citizens

02:08:08.779 --> 02:08:13.260
are, you know, arrested, and the criminals are,

02:08:13.300 --> 02:08:16.439
like, free. This is fucked up, guys. Just the

02:08:16.439 --> 02:08:18.180
fact that they have the resources to do that

02:08:18.180 --> 02:08:20.159
when they have all the crime that they have.

02:08:20.460 --> 02:08:22.880
You have the resources and the government resources

02:08:22.880 --> 02:08:26.119
to go kill someone's squirrel? Yeah. This whole

02:08:26.119 --> 02:08:31.199
idea of this government efficiency agency. Yeah.

02:08:31.340 --> 02:08:32.880
I mean, call it whatever you want. What do you

02:08:32.880 --> 02:08:34.640
want to call it? I mean, I think the funniest

02:08:34.640 --> 02:08:38.619
name is DOGE, the DOGE, Department of Government

02:08:38.619 --> 02:08:44.979
Efficiency. Yeah, I mean, the idea is pretty

02:08:44.979 --> 02:08:50.640
simple, is that we've got this suffocating, massive

02:08:50.640 --> 02:08:55.739
federal bureaucracy, and we need to... That is

02:08:55.739 --> 02:08:58.859
– and the government spending is like bankrupting

02:08:58.859 --> 02:09:03.539
the country. Our interest payments on the national

02:09:03.539 --> 02:09:06.279
debt now exceed the Defense Department budget,

02:09:06.479 --> 02:09:09.659
which is – the Defense Department budget is like

02:09:09.659 --> 02:09:11.680
a trillion dollars a year. Interest payments

02:09:11.680 --> 02:09:15.539
on the national debt are now higher than the

02:09:15.539 --> 02:09:19.300
Defense Department budget and growing like every

02:09:19.300 --> 02:09:22.409
month. So it's like it's not like basically we're

02:09:22.409 --> 02:09:24.590
on a path to bankruptcy. America's on a path

02:09:24.590 --> 02:09:26.670
to bankruptcy. So we have to cut government spending

02:09:26.670 --> 02:09:29.130
or we're just going to go bankrupt just like

02:09:29.130 --> 02:09:32.970
a person would if that overspends. But it's even

02:09:32.970 --> 02:09:34.489
worse than that. We're spending money on all

02:09:34.489 --> 02:09:38.630
these government agencies. And I actually asked

02:09:38.630 --> 02:09:40.250
the AI how many government agencies are there.

02:09:40.789 --> 02:09:44.770
And the government isn't even sure how many government

02:09:44.770 --> 02:09:47.270
agencies there are. So it's like somewhere around

02:09:47.270 --> 02:09:50.189
450 depending on what you call an agency. So

02:09:50.189 --> 02:09:54.890
they're at the federal level. So that's almost

02:09:54.890 --> 02:09:57.829
twice as many agencies as years that America

02:09:57.829 --> 02:10:00.409
has existed. So we're creating agencies at roughly

02:10:00.409 --> 02:10:06.609
two agencies a year. Wow. Yes. So this is insane.

02:10:06.810 --> 02:10:10.050
I wonder if there's even one person who could

02:10:10.050 --> 02:10:13.210
even name all the 450 agencies at the federal

02:10:13.210 --> 02:10:16.949
level. There might be no one. But there's hardly

02:10:16.949 --> 02:10:19.060
anyone, let's just say. I bet most people couldn't

02:10:19.060 --> 02:10:24.600
even name like 100. So this is crazy. So we've

02:10:24.600 --> 02:10:28.279
got this suffocating, this vast suffocating federal

02:10:28.279 --> 02:10:30.880
bureaucracy that just gets bigger every year.

02:10:31.979 --> 02:10:34.000
And eventually you get to the point where everything

02:10:34.000 --> 02:10:37.380
is illegal. You can't get anything done. So what

02:10:37.380 --> 02:10:42.079
can be done like with... So obviously the president

02:10:42.079 --> 02:10:45.399
has a lot of power, but how much power and what

02:10:45.399 --> 02:10:47.979
can be done in terms of like eliminating agencies,

02:10:48.220 --> 02:10:51.159
eliminating waste, eliminating? Yeah. Well, I

02:10:51.159 --> 02:10:55.020
mean, so like if Congress has created an agency,

02:10:55.220 --> 02:10:57.279
then often if you look at the law, the law is

02:10:57.279 --> 02:10:59.479
like pretty simple. Like the agency has like

02:10:59.479 --> 02:11:02.819
a very simple task. But then that agency over

02:11:02.819 --> 02:11:07.779
time vastly increases its authority and starts

02:11:07.779 --> 02:11:09.640
doing things that were never authorized by Congress.

02:11:10.340 --> 02:11:12.119
That's happened with pretty much every agency.

02:11:12.619 --> 02:11:18.039
So, yeah, you'd have to still keep an agency.

02:11:18.420 --> 02:11:21.500
You'd have to match the law, but you can curtail

02:11:21.500 --> 02:11:23.840
the agencies to be much smaller and say you've

02:11:23.840 --> 02:11:25.920
got to stick to what Congress authorized instead

02:11:25.920 --> 02:11:28.859
of all this other stuff you're doing, which I

02:11:28.859 --> 02:11:30.340
think makes sense. And so is the other stuff

02:11:30.340 --> 02:11:33.140
they're doing just essentially bureaucracy run

02:11:33.140 --> 02:11:36.020
amok where they just create jobs and create things

02:11:36.020 --> 02:11:38.800
to do and create a meaning for their existence?

02:11:39.220 --> 02:11:41.840
Yeah. It's like a tumor. It's just going to keep

02:11:41.840 --> 02:11:48.100
growing. Jesus Christ. And so, I mean, for SpaceX,

02:11:48.239 --> 02:11:49.939
Starship was sitting on the pad. The rocket,

02:11:50.100 --> 02:11:53.039
the giant rocket. We could build the rocket faster

02:11:53.039 --> 02:11:54.539
than they could process the paperwork to approve

02:11:54.539 --> 02:11:57.020
the launch. So we're sitting there for two months.

02:11:59.560 --> 02:12:01.279
But do you think that they're doing that on purpose

02:12:01.279 --> 02:12:05.699
to fuck with you? I can't, I mean, maybe a little,

02:12:05.760 --> 02:12:08.960
but I mean, that would also not be cool. Yeah.

02:12:12.260 --> 02:12:15.420
Another way to think of it is like the amount

02:12:15.420 --> 02:12:19.039
of paperwork is going to go roughly with the

02:12:19.039 --> 02:12:21.579
square of the number of agencies involved because

02:12:21.579 --> 02:12:23.960
they will have to meet with each other. So let's

02:12:23.960 --> 02:12:26.840
say in the best case situation, if you've got

02:12:26.840 --> 02:12:30.020
like – if there's like – if you're dealing with

02:12:30.020 --> 02:12:31.819
one agency, that's one thing. But if you've got

02:12:31.819 --> 02:12:33.779
to deal with five agencies and the agencies will

02:12:33.779 --> 02:12:35.819
have to meet with each other, now you've got

02:12:35.819 --> 02:12:43.460
like – 25 different meeting configurations that

02:12:43.460 --> 02:12:51.300
have to take place. You get just hardening of

02:12:51.300 --> 02:12:53.819
the arteries. You just can't make progress. This

02:12:53.819 --> 02:12:56.180
is why we can't build high -speed rail in America.

02:12:56.279 --> 02:12:59.039
It's basically illegal. Right. So this has been

02:12:59.039 --> 02:13:01.220
the argument has always been that we need regulation

02:13:01.220 --> 02:13:03.840
because we need to protect the environment. We

02:13:03.840 --> 02:13:06.140
need to protect people. We need to make sure

02:13:06.140 --> 02:13:08.279
the rule of law is followed. So we need a certain

02:13:08.279 --> 02:13:11.380
amount of regulation. But overregulation is a

02:13:11.380 --> 02:13:13.359
giant problem. That's a big issue in California.

02:13:13.960 --> 02:13:16.720
It's a huge issue anywhere where bureaucracy

02:13:16.720 --> 02:13:20.079
has run amok. They make it very difficult to

02:13:20.079 --> 02:13:23.060
get anything done. Yes. I mean, what happens

02:13:23.060 --> 02:13:26.560
is every year there are more rules and regulations

02:13:26.560 --> 02:13:31.579
created. And in the past, what has served as

02:13:31.579 --> 02:13:33.359
a cleansing function for rules and regulations

02:13:33.359 --> 02:13:36.060
is war. Because like, well, we're going to lose

02:13:36.060 --> 02:13:38.720
if we don't kind of clear the decks. But we haven't

02:13:38.720 --> 02:13:41.819
really had an existential threat of war in the

02:13:41.819 --> 02:13:44.100
U .S. We've had prosperity for a long time, which

02:13:44.100 --> 02:13:46.739
has resulted in a massive buildup of rules and

02:13:46.739 --> 02:13:50.210
regulations every year. And to the point where,

02:13:50.329 --> 02:13:52.750
like I said, everything's illegal. And it's not

02:13:52.750 --> 02:13:54.609
like any one regulation is the problem. It's

02:13:54.609 --> 02:13:57.470
like Gulliver being tied down by a million little

02:13:57.470 --> 02:13:59.729
strings. It's not like any one string is the

02:13:59.729 --> 02:14:01.949
problem, but you've got a million of them. So

02:14:01.949 --> 02:14:07.489
we've got to clear the decks here. And I'm not

02:14:07.489 --> 02:14:08.890
saying we shouldn't have regulators. I'm just

02:14:08.890 --> 02:14:13.430
saying we've gone way too far. One should think

02:14:13.430 --> 02:14:16.529
of regulators like referees on a field, you know,

02:14:16.550 --> 02:14:20.310
a sports field. You don't want to have no refs.

02:14:20.310 --> 02:14:21.970
You want to have some number of refs. But you

02:14:21.970 --> 02:14:23.770
don't want to have way more refs than players.

02:14:24.069 --> 02:14:26.189
Right. You don't want to be like, well, you know,

02:14:26.229 --> 02:14:30.409
the running back couldn't complete the pass because

02:14:30.409 --> 02:14:32.449
there were too many regulators in the way because

02:14:32.449 --> 02:14:34.869
the football field is full of regulators. Yeah.

02:14:34.989 --> 02:14:36.390
You know, it's like you can't even play the game.

02:14:36.630 --> 02:14:38.029
Right. That's the issue we've got right now.

02:14:38.189 --> 02:14:40.149
Well, that's a great analogy. Yeah, I can imagine

02:14:40.149 --> 02:14:42.670
a football field that's filled with referees.

02:14:42.670 --> 02:14:44.149
It's just like the football field is filled with

02:14:44.149 --> 02:14:45.710
refs, you know. Yeah, you can't even run past

02:14:45.710 --> 02:14:49.340
them. Yeah. Yeah. That I've seen criticism of

02:14:49.340 --> 02:14:53.500
this idea of you coming up with this department

02:14:53.500 --> 02:14:56.479
of like firing a bunch of people and what would

02:14:56.479 --> 02:14:58.159
happen and how would that work? But the criticism

02:14:58.159 --> 02:15:01.960
doesn't make any sense to me because if there

02:15:01.960 --> 02:15:05.609
is. If you measurably, if you can prove that

02:15:05.609 --> 02:15:09.069
there's a lot of wasted time and resources, which

02:15:09.069 --> 02:15:11.729
I think is pretty easy to do. And if you could

02:15:11.729 --> 02:15:13.989
say that this is not the most efficient, like

02:15:13.989 --> 02:15:16.050
the most efficient businesses are generally private

02:15:16.050 --> 02:15:19.529
businesses or a company because they kind of

02:15:19.529 --> 02:15:22.699
have to be in order to stay profitable. The government

02:15:22.699 --> 02:15:25.319
doesn't have to be profitable. They don't have

02:15:25.319 --> 02:15:27.000
to be efficient. They don't have competition.

02:15:27.399 --> 02:15:29.600
So if you're making cars and your cars break

02:15:29.600 --> 02:15:31.399
down and they suck and someone makes cars and

02:15:31.399 --> 02:15:33.039
the cars are better, they're going to succeed.

02:15:33.300 --> 02:15:35.680
So this is the free market. The government doesn't

02:15:35.680 --> 02:15:38.399
have this problem when they're in charge of certain

02:15:38.399 --> 02:15:41.659
things that could probably be better served by

02:15:41.659 --> 02:15:45.670
the private sector. Yeah, absolutely. Well, look,

02:15:45.750 --> 02:15:48.250
I just think we've got far too many government

02:15:48.250 --> 02:15:50.449
agencies. The federal bureaucracy has gotten

02:15:50.449 --> 02:15:52.609
out of hand, and we just need to pare it down

02:15:52.609 --> 02:15:55.569
to a sensible level. And if it turns out that

02:15:55.569 --> 02:15:59.350
there's some regulation or agency that was doing

02:15:59.350 --> 02:16:01.470
something useful, we can put it right back. No

02:16:01.470 --> 02:16:03.310
problem. It's like, oh, that regulation was important?

02:16:03.529 --> 02:16:05.640
No problem. We'll put it right back. Right. As

02:16:05.640 --> 02:16:08.079
long as we actually know. Right. But to be able

02:16:08.079 --> 02:16:10.579
to look at it logically and objectively. And

02:16:10.579 --> 02:16:13.359
you were also floating around the idea of offering

02:16:13.359 --> 02:16:15.520
a large severance to the people that you're going

02:16:15.520 --> 02:16:18.300
to have removed. Yeah. Like a couple of years

02:16:18.300 --> 02:16:19.420
or something like that. Is that what you're saying?

02:16:19.960 --> 02:16:22.000
Yeah. I mean, I'm just these are, again, just

02:16:22.000 --> 02:16:24.840
ideas. But I mean, it's the point is not that

02:16:24.840 --> 02:16:27.239
people suffer economic hardship. The point is

02:16:27.239 --> 02:16:29.739
just that they're it's better. There are more

02:16:29.739 --> 02:16:31.840
productive things they can do in the economy.

02:16:32.000 --> 02:16:34.530
And it'll be better if they did these. other

02:16:34.530 --> 02:16:37.809
more productive things. And we didn't have this

02:16:37.809 --> 02:16:40.750
fast pedal bureaucracy. So, so like, so I was

02:16:40.750 --> 02:16:42.170
like, ah, you know, maybe like a couple of years

02:16:42.170 --> 02:16:45.270
of pay would be good. And then they could take

02:16:45.270 --> 02:16:47.469
a vacation. They could take a, take another job

02:16:47.469 --> 02:16:49.590
and get double pay. I mean, it's like, it's not

02:16:49.590 --> 02:16:52.739
like a. it's not going to create an economic

02:16:52.739 --> 02:16:54.840
crisis. I think it's actually going to be really

02:16:54.840 --> 02:16:59.280
good, I think, because people can move to where

02:16:59.280 --> 02:17:01.040
they're making products and services that are

02:17:01.040 --> 02:17:03.459
more useful to their fellow human beings. The

02:17:03.459 --> 02:17:06.299
problem is if someone has like a 25, 30 -year

02:17:06.299 --> 02:17:09.600
career of being institutionalized, you're essentially

02:17:09.600 --> 02:17:12.360
like a part of the government system. You've

02:17:12.360 --> 02:17:14.909
sort of... programmed your life and your career

02:17:14.909 --> 02:17:18.190
to be a part of this bureaucratic system. And

02:17:18.190 --> 02:17:19.930
then you're like, nope, you have to go out and

02:17:19.930 --> 02:17:21.250
compete in the free market. You're like, oh.

02:17:24.389 --> 02:17:27.049
That's scary to people. But you have to be valuable.

02:17:27.510 --> 02:17:30.729
You have to actually be valuable. Yeah. Yeah.

02:17:31.489 --> 02:17:32.770
I mean, let's look at like, you know, whatever

02:17:32.770 --> 02:17:34.190
the government pension and stuff. They're not

02:17:34.190 --> 02:17:37.809
going to be, you know, in tough. I think they'll

02:17:37.809 --> 02:17:40.030
be in good financial shape. How are you going

02:17:40.030 --> 02:17:44.120
to have the time to oversee all this shit? Well,

02:17:44.219 --> 02:17:48.719
I'm pretty good at improving efficiency. I would

02:17:48.719 --> 02:17:53.879
say so. Yeah. But still, this seems like a giant

02:17:53.879 --> 02:17:57.719
undertaking. Yeah. I'll probably need to beef

02:17:57.719 --> 02:18:03.620
up security. Oh, yeah. Yeah, for sure. But like

02:18:03.620 --> 02:18:05.280
I said, no one's going to experience, I think,

02:18:05.299 --> 02:18:11.719
economic hardship. They'll be fine. People do

02:18:11.719 --> 02:18:14.940
find other roles. You can look at sort of, you

02:18:14.940 --> 02:18:16.940
know, like when East Germany and West Germany

02:18:16.940 --> 02:18:19.239
got back together, you know, everyone was basically

02:18:19.239 --> 02:18:21.459
working for the government in East Germany. And

02:18:21.459 --> 02:18:24.600
it was really inefficient. And that like their

02:18:24.600 --> 02:18:27.879
economic output was like in East Germany was

02:18:27.879 --> 02:18:30.680
like a quarter of what it was in West Germany

02:18:30.680 --> 02:18:32.440
because everyone was working for the government.

02:18:32.579 --> 02:18:34.000
The government's like fundamentally inefficient.

02:18:34.659 --> 02:18:37.459
The best example is probably North and South

02:18:37.459 --> 02:18:39.479
Korea, right? Yeah. The people are starving in

02:18:39.479 --> 02:18:41.559
North Korea and South Korea is incredibly prosperous.

02:18:42.219 --> 02:18:44.979
Yeah. So and it's the same people, just different

02:18:44.979 --> 02:18:49.500
operating system. Right. So, you know, it's just

02:18:49.500 --> 02:18:52.700
like you just want to move people from, you know,

02:18:52.700 --> 02:18:55.020
less productive things to more productive things.

02:18:56.180 --> 02:18:58.719
Because you could also say like in the limit,

02:18:58.799 --> 02:19:00.940
like let's just say let's consider the other

02:19:00.940 --> 02:19:03.040
direction where we moved a whole bunch of people

02:19:03.040 --> 02:19:05.459
that were in the private sector doing making

02:19:05.459 --> 02:19:07.420
goods and services and move them into the government

02:19:07.420 --> 02:19:10.159
as regulators. Now they stop making those goods

02:19:10.159 --> 02:19:12.670
and services. So the stuff they were making is

02:19:12.670 --> 02:19:15.170
no longer available. Now they're just being regulators.

02:19:17.950 --> 02:19:19.469
Like, is that a good thing? That's not a good

02:19:19.469 --> 02:19:21.530
thing. Doesn't sound good. No, it's not good.

02:19:21.870 --> 02:19:23.270
Doesn't sound like there's a real market for

02:19:23.270 --> 02:19:25.450
it. Like, you're creating jobs that don't necessarily

02:19:25.450 --> 02:19:27.370
need to be there. There are all these fake jobs,

02:19:27.510 --> 02:19:32.170
basically. And that doesn't make sense. So, look,

02:19:32.270 --> 02:19:34.989
we've got to do this. Because the country's going

02:19:34.989 --> 02:19:37.790
bankrupt. Like, if we don't take action, we're...

02:19:38.870 --> 02:19:41.149
Dollars are going to be worth nothing. And the

02:19:41.149 --> 02:19:44.149
interest payments, which are already 23 % of

02:19:44.149 --> 02:19:48.370
all government income, including income taxes,

02:19:48.469 --> 02:19:50.309
tariffs, and everything, is just going to pay

02:19:50.309 --> 02:19:52.809
interest right now. And that number is continually

02:19:52.809 --> 02:19:55.930
rising. So if we don't do something, the entire

02:19:55.930 --> 02:19:58.430
government budget will be paying interest. There

02:19:58.430 --> 02:19:59.969
won't be money for anything. No, there won't

02:19:59.969 --> 02:20:01.110
be money for Social Security. There won't be

02:20:01.110 --> 02:20:04.170
money for Medicare, nothing. That's where we're

02:20:04.170 --> 02:20:07.430
headed. That's what bankruptcy means. Yeah, that's

02:20:07.430 --> 02:20:11.409
such an insane concept. Yes. It's like, hello,

02:20:11.510 --> 02:20:16.309
wake up. Wake up. And if somebody can tell me,

02:20:16.329 --> 02:20:18.530
can show me, like pencil out the math, show me

02:20:18.530 --> 02:20:20.729
how this works, I'd love to hear it. But I'm

02:20:20.729 --> 02:20:22.069
just like, listen, I'm looking at the numbers

02:20:22.069 --> 02:20:23.790
here and I'm like, if we're going to do something.

02:20:25.010 --> 02:20:27.209
America's toast. There won't be money for anything.

02:20:27.389 --> 02:20:30.190
Trump likes to talk about a lot is tariffs. Yeah.

02:20:30.290 --> 02:20:32.209
What are your thoughts on tariffs? I know that's

02:20:32.209 --> 02:20:35.709
very controversial to even people, economists.

02:20:36.170 --> 02:20:38.510
They disagree. Some agree. Some think it's a

02:20:38.510 --> 02:20:40.190
good idea. Some think it's a terrible idea. What

02:20:40.190 --> 02:20:42.909
do you think? I think you need to be careful

02:20:42.909 --> 02:20:49.360
with tariffs. I deal a lot with supply chain

02:20:49.360 --> 02:20:53.379
issues. The global automotive supply chain for

02:20:53.379 --> 02:20:55.920
Tesla, for example, is incredibly complex. So

02:20:55.920 --> 02:20:58.159
when there are sudden changes in tariffs, then

02:20:58.159 --> 02:21:00.959
you're like, well, we've got a factory somewhere

02:21:00.959 --> 02:21:03.139
else that's making a part that goes into the

02:21:03.139 --> 02:21:06.159
car. Now, if that part's suddenly twice as expensive,

02:21:06.500 --> 02:21:11.540
it messes everything up. So you want to have

02:21:11.540 --> 02:21:16.489
tariffs be predictable. So companies can adjust

02:21:16.489 --> 02:21:18.590
their supply chain. I think companies are more

02:21:18.590 --> 02:21:22.450
than happy to increase manufacturing in America.

02:21:22.549 --> 02:21:24.950
It's just that you can't do it instantly. So

02:21:24.950 --> 02:21:31.690
if you put up giant tariffs immediately and don't

02:21:31.690 --> 02:21:35.770
give companies a chance to build factories in

02:21:35.770 --> 02:21:38.530
America, because you've got to move atoms. You've

02:21:38.530 --> 02:21:40.489
got to build a building. You've got to install

02:21:40.489 --> 02:21:44.750
equipment. You've got to train people. That doesn't

02:21:44.750 --> 02:21:50.209
happen instantly. So you want to have a ramp

02:21:50.209 --> 02:21:56.850
so that companies can adjust and build the factories

02:21:56.850 --> 02:21:58.950
and train the people and get the equipment in

02:21:58.950 --> 02:22:02.129
place. Otherwise, you basically just shock the

02:22:02.129 --> 02:22:05.370
system and it breaks or bad things happen. So

02:22:05.370 --> 02:22:09.969
I'm against sudden giant tariffs because it's

02:22:09.969 --> 02:22:13.229
an impossible response if you've got to... move

02:22:13.229 --> 02:22:18.690
1 ,000 tons of equipment. In some cases, collectively,

02:22:18.930 --> 02:22:21.069
millions of tons of equipment. You just can't

02:22:21.069 --> 02:22:22.229
do that overnight. It's literally impossible.

02:22:23.010 --> 02:22:27.450
So I think we want to be thoughtful about tariffs

02:22:27.450 --> 02:22:33.309
and give companies a ramp. I do generally agree

02:22:33.309 --> 02:22:35.549
that America should do more manufacturing. I'm

02:22:35.549 --> 02:22:37.290
a big manufacturing guy. I love manufacturing.

02:22:38.069 --> 02:22:39.909
I've spent a lot of time in the factory. We've

02:22:39.909 --> 02:22:42.790
talked openly about the difficulties of manufacturing

02:22:42.790 --> 02:22:44.930
and how complicated it is and about most people

02:22:44.930 --> 02:22:47.190
aren't really aware of something that's as complex

02:22:47.190 --> 02:22:51.090
as, say, building a Tesla. Manufacturing is super

02:22:51.090 --> 02:22:56.690
hard and complicated. A lot of people, they've

02:22:56.690 --> 02:22:58.850
never been in a factory or they don't know how

02:22:58.850 --> 02:23:02.680
difficult it is to make things. And for a lot

02:23:02.680 --> 02:23:03.959
of people, I think just ketchup comes from the

02:23:03.959 --> 02:23:09.799
store. For a lot of people who've been in academia

02:23:09.799 --> 02:23:13.280
or for all these socialist communist types, they've

02:23:13.280 --> 02:23:16.280
never actually made anything. So they're operating

02:23:16.280 --> 02:23:18.120
on the premise that there's this magical horn

02:23:18.120 --> 02:23:20.600
of plenty that just outputs goods and services.

02:23:21.059 --> 02:23:23.000
And if someone's got more goods and services

02:23:23.000 --> 02:23:24.659
than someone else's because they took more from

02:23:24.659 --> 02:23:26.719
this magical horn of plenty. And I'm like, guys,

02:23:26.739 --> 02:23:30.579
there's no magical horn of plenty. There's no

02:23:30.579 --> 02:23:33.559
cornucopia. It's actually goods and services

02:23:33.559 --> 02:23:35.899
come from people working collectively, doing

02:23:35.899 --> 02:23:38.139
a lot of hard work to produce the goods and services

02:23:38.139 --> 02:23:43.700
that you like and that you need. But we've become

02:23:43.700 --> 02:23:45.879
very accustomed to these things happening overseas.

02:23:46.840 --> 02:23:48.760
I mean, America is still the second biggest manufacturer

02:23:48.760 --> 02:23:51.440
in the world, so we still make a lot of stuff,

02:23:51.559 --> 02:23:55.729
but we could make more. We probably should make

02:23:55.729 --> 02:23:57.329
more. I think we should value manufacturing a

02:23:57.329 --> 02:23:58.790
lot more in the United States than we currently

02:23:58.790 --> 02:24:00.790
do. Well, it would be very nice if we were completely

02:24:00.790 --> 02:24:03.889
self -sufficient. Like medicine, there's a bunch

02:24:03.889 --> 02:24:05.709
of different things that get manufactured overseas.

02:24:05.809 --> 02:24:08.930
It was a huge problem during COVID because all

02:24:08.930 --> 02:24:12.389
the shipping was shut down. Yeah. I mean, you

02:24:12.389 --> 02:24:14.950
don't want to say like – so there's a lot of

02:24:14.950 --> 02:24:17.090
merit to the economics of comparative advantage.

02:24:17.549 --> 02:24:21.250
So if you're completely self -sufficient, what

02:24:21.250 --> 02:24:24.639
that means is that – You make all the stuff yourself,

02:24:24.760 --> 02:24:28.020
and even if some other country is really good

02:24:28.020 --> 02:24:30.379
at making something, you still make it yourself,

02:24:30.639 --> 02:24:32.139
which means you're going to have the inferior,

02:24:32.299 --> 02:24:35.120
more costly product domestically. Right. Like

02:24:35.120 --> 02:24:41.319
Soviet Russia. Yeah. Like trade improves prosperity.

02:24:41.440 --> 02:24:46.840
This is important. So you don't actually want

02:24:46.840 --> 02:24:51.020
to make everything yourself. And you can run

02:24:51.020 --> 02:24:52.879
this – like you can think of this thought experiment

02:24:52.879 --> 02:24:57.200
on a sort of a micro scale or small scale and

02:24:57.200 --> 02:24:59.600
then expand that and say where does the – at

02:24:59.600 --> 02:25:01.200
what point does the thought experiment no longer

02:25:01.200 --> 02:25:04.360
prove to be valid? Now, let's consider the case

02:25:04.360 --> 02:25:05.819
of you as an individual. Imagine you have to

02:25:05.819 --> 02:25:07.940
do everything yourself. You have to farm. You

02:25:07.940 --> 02:25:11.639
have to grow chickens. You have to do – if you

02:25:11.639 --> 02:25:13.940
want eggs, you've got to build your own house.

02:25:14.000 --> 02:25:16.799
You've got to do your own electrical repair,

02:25:16.940 --> 02:25:21.139
your own plumbing, everything yourself. Everything.

02:25:21.139 --> 02:25:23.920
Now that would be impossible. Okay, now let's

02:25:23.920 --> 02:25:26.719
expand it to, okay, there's 10 people. Now you're

02:25:26.719 --> 02:25:30.440
going to have some specialization of tasks. Okay,

02:25:30.520 --> 02:25:31.920
well, maybe one person could be really good at

02:25:31.920 --> 02:25:34.899
construction. Another person could be good at

02:25:34.899 --> 02:25:38.239
farming. But it's still 10 people is not enough.

02:25:38.340 --> 02:25:39.799
It's like, let's go to 100 people. Now let's

02:25:39.799 --> 02:25:41.559
go to 100 million people. Now let's go to a billion

02:25:41.559 --> 02:25:45.139
people. And you still get the economics of...

02:25:47.190 --> 02:25:48.950
specialization, like specialization of labor,

02:25:49.129 --> 02:25:51.530
where people become expert at particular things,

02:25:51.610 --> 02:25:55.010
still matters at a billion people, or at eight

02:25:55.010 --> 02:25:57.250
billion people, which is Earth. So you still

02:25:57.250 --> 02:26:01.750
want, you do want specialization of labor. You

02:26:01.750 --> 02:26:04.190
do want countries to be really good at a particular

02:26:04.190 --> 02:26:06.979
thing and make that thing. Also, it encourages

02:26:06.979 --> 02:26:09.020
innovation if you have competition. If the Germans

02:26:09.020 --> 02:26:10.760
are making better cars, we have to make better

02:26:10.760 --> 02:26:12.420
cars. We have to compete with them, which is

02:26:12.420 --> 02:26:14.579
like one of the things that happened during like

02:26:14.579 --> 02:26:16.739
the 80s and 90s, and America was making crap

02:26:16.739 --> 02:26:18.780
cars, and Germany was making much better ones.

02:26:18.979 --> 02:26:22.239
Yeah, exactly. I mean, yeah, the Japanese car,

02:26:22.360 --> 02:26:25.620
I mean, yeah. I mean, basically, the American

02:26:25.620 --> 02:26:29.040
car industry got really lazy in the 70s and 80s,

02:26:29.040 --> 02:26:31.280
and then the Japanese and German car companies

02:26:31.280 --> 02:26:33.280
came in and just cleaned the clock, you know.

02:26:35.739 --> 02:26:40.500
And there was like an old joke that is kind of

02:26:40.500 --> 02:26:45.020
telling. It's a very old joke where it's like,

02:26:45.040 --> 02:26:46.879
why did the Japanese car companies beat the American

02:26:46.879 --> 02:26:49.700
car companies? Well, it's like, well, in the

02:26:49.700 --> 02:26:52.500
Japanese car company, you had eight people rowing

02:26:52.500 --> 02:26:55.020
and one person steering. And in the American

02:26:55.020 --> 02:26:56.700
car company, you had eight people steering and

02:26:56.700 --> 02:26:59.139
one person rowing, if this was a boat. So imagine

02:26:59.139 --> 02:27:02.959
the boat race. Yeah. Japanese boat, you've got

02:27:02.959 --> 02:27:04.200
eight people rowing and one person steering.

02:27:04.719 --> 02:27:09.479
In the American boat, you've got one person rowing

02:27:09.479 --> 02:27:12.159
and eight people steering. And when the American

02:27:12.159 --> 02:27:15.280
car company loses the race, they fire the rower.

02:27:17.399 --> 02:27:19.440
And it's like, okay, that was actually kind of

02:27:19.440 --> 02:27:23.020
true. Everyone wants to be the boss and everyone

02:27:23.020 --> 02:27:25.879
wants to do the work type of thing. Yeah. One

02:27:25.879 --> 02:27:27.579
thing that a lot of people are concerned about

02:27:27.579 --> 02:27:30.809
is... the potential disruption that's going to

02:27:30.809 --> 02:27:35.069
come about with automation and ai that a lot

02:27:35.069 --> 02:27:37.930
of these jobs manufacturing jobs uh teamsters

02:27:37.930 --> 02:27:40.909
all that stuff is going to be eliminated what

02:27:40.909 --> 02:27:43.170
what do you mean you're at the forefront of this

02:27:43.170 --> 02:27:46.930
so how do you see this playing out and what do

02:27:46.930 --> 02:27:50.479
you think that can be done to mitigate A lot

02:27:50.479 --> 02:27:53.459
of the loss of purpose that a lot of people are

02:27:53.459 --> 02:27:56.239
going to feel, loss of income, obviously universal

02:27:56.239 --> 02:27:58.840
basic income is being floated about. But that

02:27:58.840 --> 02:28:02.399
seems to me to only be part of the problem. Another

02:28:02.399 --> 02:28:04.979
big part of the problem is people losing a sense

02:28:04.979 --> 02:28:08.799
of purpose. Yeah. Now we're talking about something

02:28:08.799 --> 02:28:12.700
which is still pretty far in the future. How

02:28:12.700 --> 02:28:18.659
far do you think it is? Well, I mean it's – It's

02:28:18.659 --> 02:28:20.840
probably, I don't know, 15, 20 years of a thing.

02:28:22.659 --> 02:28:26.139
So we've got like immediate issues. We've got

02:28:26.139 --> 02:28:28.459
short -term issues that are, I don't know, one

02:28:28.459 --> 02:28:31.219
to three years. Medium -term issues like five

02:28:31.219 --> 02:28:33.100
to 10 years. Longer -term issues which are like

02:28:33.100 --> 02:28:36.739
maybe 20 years. Longer -term, I think there is

02:28:36.739 --> 02:28:39.100
this question if you have AI and robotics, how

02:28:39.100 --> 02:28:41.200
do you find meaning in life? If the computer

02:28:41.200 --> 02:28:43.040
can do everything better than you can and the

02:28:43.040 --> 02:28:44.399
robot can do everything better than you can.

02:28:44.940 --> 02:28:47.979
But we're still... We've got a long way to go

02:28:47.979 --> 02:28:52.600
before that. And I do think it's like 80 % likely

02:28:52.600 --> 02:28:59.059
to be a good outcome, like maybe 90. So I think

02:28:59.059 --> 02:29:01.200
everyone's going to have their own personal robot.

02:29:01.559 --> 02:29:04.280
And I think at some point, wouldn't you want

02:29:04.280 --> 02:29:07.979
to have your own personal C -3PO R2 -D2? So it's

02:29:07.979 --> 02:29:09.719
going to be essentially just like everyone has

02:29:09.719 --> 02:29:11.799
their own phone. Yeah, everyone will have their

02:29:11.799 --> 02:29:16.530
own robot buddy. Like literally. Well, it would

02:29:16.530 --> 02:29:18.790
be great if it protected you. Like if you walked

02:29:18.790 --> 02:29:20.209
down the street of New York City and you have

02:29:20.209 --> 02:29:22.350
a Terminator with you. I don't know about the

02:29:22.350 --> 02:29:24.209
tone of it. Hopefully we're going to avoid, we

02:29:24.209 --> 02:29:26.430
don't want this to be the plot of a James Cameron,

02:29:26.549 --> 02:29:31.010
you know, more Gene Roddenberry than James Cameron

02:29:31.010 --> 02:29:33.770
movie situation. But it would be fascinating

02:29:33.770 --> 02:29:36.190
to watch some rich person walk down the street

02:29:36.190 --> 02:29:38.889
of New York City flanked by two giant Tesla robots,

02:29:39.190 --> 02:29:41.149
jack Tesla robots that were there to protect

02:29:41.149 --> 02:29:42.530
you. Like RoboCop or something, but just fully

02:29:42.530 --> 02:29:44.829
robots. Somebody fully robot there to protect

02:29:44.829 --> 02:29:48.069
you from a bad neighborhood. Yeah. That would

02:29:48.069 --> 02:29:51.860
be very interesting. I mean, this is... You could

02:29:51.860 --> 02:29:54.940
potentially see that. Yeah. Restaurants would

02:29:54.940 --> 02:29:57.420
probably have no robot rules. You can't bring

02:29:57.420 --> 02:30:01.020
a robot. Yeah, leave a robot. Yeah, leave your

02:30:01.020 --> 02:30:03.379
robot outside. Your robot's standing by the table.

02:30:04.719 --> 02:30:06.459
Man, the future's going to be wild. It's going

02:30:06.459 --> 02:30:09.040
to be wild. Yeah. Yeah. It's going to be really

02:30:09.040 --> 02:30:12.620
unpredictable. Like, I don't think... I mean,

02:30:12.639 --> 02:30:14.399
you probably have a pretty good sense of it,

02:30:14.500 --> 02:30:17.719
but I think most people don't understand the

02:30:17.719 --> 02:30:20.829
wave that's coming. Yeah. kind of completely

02:30:20.829 --> 02:30:27.670
drown society and change it forever. Yeah. Like

02:30:27.670 --> 02:30:32.950
I said, it's not going to happen overnight, but

02:30:32.950 --> 02:30:37.469
20 years from now, I think there's going to be

02:30:37.469 --> 02:30:41.110
more humanoid robots than there are humans. Really?

02:30:41.370 --> 02:30:44.770
Yes. More humanized robots. That's so crazy.

02:30:44.850 --> 02:30:47.250
So that's like more guns. We have more guns than

02:30:47.250 --> 02:30:49.209
people in America. We'll have more robots than

02:30:49.209 --> 02:30:51.750
people in America as well. Yes. You'll have a

02:30:51.750 --> 02:30:54.790
bunch of old robots nobody wants anymore. I guess.

02:30:56.950 --> 02:31:02.030
Early versions or something. In a historical

02:31:02.030 --> 02:31:06.280
timeline. 20 years in the past has not been that

02:31:06.280 --> 02:31:08.620
big of a deal. I mean, this is a big deal, but

02:31:08.620 --> 02:31:11.680
you go from like 1900, 1920, not that big of

02:31:11.680 --> 02:31:15.780
a deal. 1920, 1940, kind of a big deal. 1940,

02:31:15.940 --> 02:31:18.840
1960, things start getting weird. 60 to 80, wow,

02:31:19.120 --> 02:31:21.860
that's a big difference. 80 to 2000, holy shit,

02:31:21.920 --> 02:31:25.000
now you have the internet. 2000 to 2020, whoa,

02:31:25.260 --> 02:31:29.280
this is nuts. You have propaganda, social media,

02:31:29.500 --> 02:31:35.739
YouTube, streaming. 20 years from now, what are

02:31:35.739 --> 02:31:39.219
we even talking about? It's going to be that

02:31:39.219 --> 02:31:42.979
much of a shift. It's all accelerating. And we're

02:31:42.979 --> 02:31:45.040
in the middle of it, so it's very difficult to

02:31:45.040 --> 02:31:48.399
feel it while it's happening. Because it kind

02:31:48.399 --> 02:31:51.840
of just feels like life. And you just get adapted

02:31:51.840 --> 02:31:58.979
to the changes. Yeah. I mean, people's phones

02:31:58.979 --> 02:32:00.739
at this point are a supercomputer in their pocket,

02:32:00.780 --> 02:32:02.399
like an article that can answer any questions

02:32:02.399 --> 02:32:04.600
for people to take it for granted. Yeah. It's

02:32:04.600 --> 02:32:07.000
normal. Yeah. They get mad if it doesn't work.

02:32:07.219 --> 02:32:08.840
Yeah. It's like Louis C .K.'s joke about using

02:32:08.840 --> 02:32:10.659
your phone when you're on a plane. Ah, fucking

02:32:10.659 --> 02:32:13.920
piece of shit. You're in the sky. You're floating

02:32:13.920 --> 02:32:16.139
in the air. And that will work with Starlink,

02:32:16.200 --> 02:32:18.440
too. What's that? It will work with Starlink.

02:32:18.870 --> 02:32:22.049
The Starlink connection, it'll be like being

02:32:22.049 --> 02:32:23.510
on the ground. Well, I was telling you how I

02:32:23.510 --> 02:32:25.510
used Starlink when I was in Utah. I was in the

02:32:25.510 --> 02:32:27.829
mountains of Utah. There was no cell phone service

02:32:27.829 --> 02:32:31.409
anywhere near. And we had full YouTube. We had

02:32:31.409 --> 02:32:36.370
text messages, FaceTime, everything. Phone calls.

02:32:36.629 --> 02:32:40.270
It was nuts. And it was this big of a cigar box.

02:32:40.809 --> 02:32:43.280
It's crazy. It's so light. When I brought it

02:32:43.280 --> 02:32:45.139
out there, like, that's it or this is it. Just

02:32:45.139 --> 02:32:47.520
plug it in. And the guys I was in camp with were

02:32:47.520 --> 02:32:50.840
like, this is crazy. The whole camp was, like,

02:32:50.860 --> 02:32:53.379
sharing it. So it was, like, 10 people using

02:32:53.379 --> 02:32:59.459
the Wi -Fi signal. It's nuts. And then, you know,

02:32:59.559 --> 02:33:02.479
that's the beginning. I mean, what you're at

02:33:02.479 --> 02:33:05.340
right now is, like, what version? This is Starlink

02:33:05.340 --> 02:33:07.780
Mini, right? So this is, like, a very small version.

02:33:07.819 --> 02:33:09.979
How much smaller can it scale down from that?

02:33:10.809 --> 02:33:14.209
Well, there's a certain area that you need. The

02:33:14.209 --> 02:33:19.329
bigger the area, the more you can... Higher bandwidth?

02:33:19.870 --> 02:33:22.450
Yeah, because you're trying to catch these photons,

02:33:22.590 --> 02:33:26.950
essentially. So you can think of the area of

02:33:26.950 --> 02:33:33.510
the antenna is... The more area you have, the

02:33:33.510 --> 02:33:38.209
more photons you can catch. But we have a direct

02:33:38.209 --> 02:33:41.420
-to -cell capability as well. We've been launching

02:33:41.420 --> 02:33:44.159
that. It will turn on probably in a few months.

02:33:45.379 --> 02:33:47.540
That will actually connect directly to a cell

02:33:47.540 --> 02:33:50.239
phone unmodified. But because the cell phone

02:33:50.239 --> 02:33:52.299
is a much worse antenna than a dedicated antenna,

02:33:52.459 --> 02:33:54.600
it will be about 100 times less bandwidth. But

02:33:54.600 --> 02:33:58.120
still, you'll be able to do text messages, pictures.

02:33:58.940 --> 02:34:00.780
like medium resolution videos, that kind of thing.

02:34:00.860 --> 02:34:03.719
One of the cool things about the new phone, the

02:34:03.719 --> 02:34:07.159
new iPhone, the iPhone 16, I got it and I was

02:34:07.159 --> 02:34:09.600
in the mountains last month and I was text messaging

02:34:09.600 --> 02:34:12.819
with satellites. Yeah. iMessages. Right. And

02:34:12.819 --> 02:34:15.059
receiving them. But just text. Yeah, just text.

02:34:15.239 --> 02:34:18.079
Yeah. But still pretty impressive. Yeah. Yeah.

02:34:19.040 --> 02:34:21.520
I mean, what are we going to be looking at 100

02:34:21.520 --> 02:34:24.700
years from now? I mean, when you... 100 years

02:34:24.700 --> 02:34:27.719
from now, I hope civilization's around. Yeah,

02:34:27.739 --> 02:34:31.340
that'll be a win. Yeah. What are the chances

02:34:31.340 --> 02:34:39.459
that we fuck this whole thing up? 50 %? It's

02:34:39.459 --> 02:34:48.620
hard to say. I don't think civilization will

02:34:48.620 --> 02:34:51.440
be totally destroyed unless there's some really

02:34:51.440 --> 02:34:58.139
massive global thermonuclear war. I mean, Stephen

02:34:58.139 --> 02:35:00.559
Hawking, he would say that there was at least

02:35:00.559 --> 02:35:03.059
a 1 % chance of total annihilation every century.

02:35:03.139 --> 02:35:07.780
That was his rough estimate. But there's a much

02:35:07.780 --> 02:35:10.860
bigger chance of civilization being less capable

02:35:10.860 --> 02:35:14.680
than it is today. So you say like, well, because

02:35:14.680 --> 02:35:17.299
you look at, say, these various civilizations

02:35:17.299 --> 02:35:21.000
throughout history, whether it's like ancient

02:35:21.000 --> 02:35:27.149
Sumerians or the Egyptians, the... There's like

02:35:27.149 --> 02:35:29.590
a life cycle to civilization. They reached a

02:35:29.590 --> 02:35:36.569
peak and then they started subsiding. So I think

02:35:36.569 --> 02:35:38.409
a bigger question is like, will our technology

02:35:38.409 --> 02:35:41.290
level be better or worse than it is today in

02:35:41.290 --> 02:35:47.149
100 years? I think it's probably going to be

02:35:47.149 --> 02:35:54.409
better. But any estimates are going to be so...

02:35:55.239 --> 02:35:58.079
There's so many dependencies. Like an estimate

02:35:58.079 --> 02:36:00.760
I think is – I'm not sure it has any meaning

02:36:00.760 --> 02:36:03.059
because it's like there's so many things that

02:36:03.059 --> 02:36:05.280
can happen in 100 years. Well, the logical hope

02:36:05.280 --> 02:36:07.479
is always that people pay attention to history

02:36:07.479 --> 02:36:10.280
and they recognize the patterns and how civilizations

02:36:10.280 --> 02:36:14.020
have collapsed. And they recognize what's going

02:36:14.020 --> 02:36:17.280
wrong in the current society and say we have

02:36:17.280 --> 02:36:19.540
to do our best to mitigate this. And we've seen

02:36:19.540 --> 02:36:22.940
this happen before. Let's course correct and

02:36:22.940 --> 02:36:25.690
let's sort of – to manage what we've got here

02:36:25.690 --> 02:36:27.770
now and maintain what we've got here now because

02:36:27.770 --> 02:36:30.930
it's pretty extraordinary. This is what we're

02:36:30.930 --> 02:36:33.590
hoping for with this election. This is what we're

02:36:33.590 --> 02:36:36.709
hoping for with the future, is that people can

02:36:36.709 --> 02:36:40.350
see we are on a bad path and something can be

02:36:40.350 --> 02:36:42.389
done right now. And it might be the only moment

02:36:42.389 --> 02:36:44.860
in history where this is possible. Because if

02:36:44.860 --> 02:36:47.899
they do, lock the country down and make it so

02:36:47.899 --> 02:36:49.479
that voting is kind of bullshit. You're only

02:36:49.479 --> 02:36:51.139
voting for primaries. And the people that they

02:36:51.139 --> 02:36:52.559
put in the primaries, they're controlling that

02:36:52.559 --> 02:36:55.020
in the first place. You don't really have democracy

02:36:55.020 --> 02:36:57.739
anymore. You don't really have choice. You don't

02:36:57.739 --> 02:37:01.799
really have freedom. That's right. Yeah, I think

02:37:01.799 --> 02:37:04.280
freedom is fundamentally at stake in the election

02:37:04.280 --> 02:37:06.280
tomorrow. And we'll know. I think we'll know

02:37:06.280 --> 02:37:07.440
by the end of the day tomorrow. I don't think

02:37:07.440 --> 02:37:09.200
it's going to take. It's not going to be like

02:37:09.200 --> 02:37:10.479
days after the election. I think we'll know tomorrow.

02:37:10.659 --> 02:37:13.860
Are you optimistic? I am currently optimistic,

02:37:14.020 --> 02:37:18.879
but the biggest factor here is that men need

02:37:18.879 --> 02:37:24.059
to vote. That is the biggest issue. So I don't

02:37:24.059 --> 02:37:27.200
know what the reason is, but men just vote at

02:37:27.200 --> 02:37:29.239
a much lower rate than women. I think it's like

02:37:29.239 --> 02:37:31.979
9%, right? Someone just told me that today. It's

02:37:31.979 --> 02:37:37.819
a big difference. And I'm just saying as a message

02:37:37.819 --> 02:37:40.379
to the men out there, vote like your life depends

02:37:40.379 --> 02:37:43.559
on it because I think it does. Vote. Vote tomorrow

02:37:43.559 --> 02:37:45.020
like your life depends on it. Nothing is more

02:37:45.020 --> 02:37:48.979
important. I agree. Listen, man, thank you for

02:37:48.979 --> 02:37:50.899
being here. I know you're busy as fuck, so I

02:37:50.899 --> 02:37:54.120
really appreciate your time. Again, I thank you

02:37:54.120 --> 02:37:56.540
so much for buying Twitter because I really do

02:37:56.540 --> 02:37:58.180
believe that you've changed the course of history.

02:37:58.440 --> 02:38:01.540
I really do think you've created a pathway where

02:38:01.540 --> 02:38:05.219
people can actually express themselves and actually

02:38:05.219 --> 02:38:07.680
exchange information that really didn't exist

02:38:07.680 --> 02:38:11.479
before. And I think it was dangerous. It is dangerous.

02:38:11.659 --> 02:38:14.139
Hopefully I live long enough to see my kids grow

02:38:14.139 --> 02:38:18.180
up and people on Mars. That would be cool. That's

02:38:18.180 --> 02:38:20.219
all I'm asking for here. I don't think that's

02:38:20.219 --> 02:38:23.760
too much to ask. Thank you very much. Appreciate

02:38:23.760 --> 02:38:26.000
you. Thank you. My pleasure. All right. Bye,

02:38:26.020 --> 02:38:26.159
folks.
