0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>bit of Factually with Adam Conover. Hello everyone, I'm Adam Conover.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:27.360
<v Speaker 1>You might know me from my TV show Adam Ruins Everything.

0:01:27.520 --> 0:01:29.880
<v Speaker 1>But now I'm going deeper as the host of the

0:01:29.880 --> 0:01:33.880
<v Speaker 1>new podcast Factually out now on your Wolf. Factually as

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 1>a podcast where I interview exceptional experts to reveal shocking

0:01:37.920 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>truths and thought provoking new perspectives from around the world

0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:44.559
<v Speaker 1>of human knowledge. We dive in with everyone from professors

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to Pulitzer Prize winners about topics like transportation. So this

0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>is not a secret. But our friend Elon Musk was

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.480
<v Speaker 1>talking about, you know how he will handle this concept

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>of induced demand. Will you create this open place for

0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>cars to go? Isn't it just going to fill up

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>with traffic? Look at the four oh five and he said,

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:06.360
<v Speaker 1>I think induced demand is a red herring. It's not

0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a red herring home, it's science, guns and the Constitution

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and the founding era. Remember they didn't have police, they

0:02:13.480 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't have a standing army. They were constantly threatened from

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>foreign countries, hostile natives. You know, people had to call

0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>forth the militia a part of your You know, if

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>you're a young, strapping age at I'm not my old age,

0:02:25.560 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you'd be a member of the militia and you'd be

0:02:27.360 --> 0:02:29.560
<v Speaker 1>called out on a regular That would be the worst

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>militia member. I would be way in the back, drag

0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>of my feet. I don't want to shoot anybody, That's okay.

0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>The guns then were so highly inaccurate. Big dick people said, well,

0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.560
<v Speaker 1>Amazon and Facebook with they're amazing products, but we don't

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>know what we're missing. There's hundreds of companies that just

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>aren't getting started in these spaces because I mean, Google

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:55.280
<v Speaker 1>and YouTube are coordinating, cooperating. Imagine if we broke them up,

0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna have to pay more for cool content like yours,

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>which probably isn't a bad thing, topics like sleep, poverty,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:06.040
<v Speaker 1>trans issues in the military environment, and more. And you know,
