Kicked off the show with this? 201 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: More or less today, there have always been ignorant people, 202 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: but they haven't always had a college degree to make 203 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 1: them unaware of their ignorance. Some people imagine that they 204 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 1: are well informed because they have memorized a whole galaxy 205 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: of trendy dogmas and fashionable attitudes. That is a really 206 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: good description of the modern college education in a lot 207 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: of places. You engineers, leaving you out of the discussion. 208 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: You chemists, you're actually getting taught with you you ought 209 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: to be learning at least, I hope man. 210 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 3: I'm glad there's some really smart people out there fighting 211 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 3: back about this stuff that are smart enough to like 212 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:19,679 Speaker 3: and take the time to really like delineate the argument 213 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: the way who's our favorite guy, Like the way James 214 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,160 Speaker 3: Lindsay does. I mean he'll take the time to do 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 3: the research to really you know, and just say, oh, 216 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 3: shut up, the way I kind of do. 217 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 2: When I hear that crap. 218 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,080 Speaker 3: He actually breaks it all down and explains why it 219 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 3: doesn't make sense. 220 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: Right, And it's so important that people understand and and 221 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: the best way to get started understanding it, I think 222 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: is at least to read the first handful of chapters 223 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 1: of Lindsey and pluck Rose's book Cynical Theories, because attracts 224 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: the origin of the critical theory thing, which is like 225 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: at the at the root of all the stuff we're 226 00:11:55,440 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 1: talking about. How it started, how it was described as 227 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 1: a strategy to capture institutions, to take them over and 228 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,680 Speaker 1: bend them to the purposes of neomarxism. As I've said 229 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: many times, these people wrote books, their names are on 230 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 1: the spine. They're proud of it. They told us exactly 231 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 1: what they wanted to do. But when somebody like me 232 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: or James Lindsay or Jack or whoever is trying to 233 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: describe this. The left says, all listen to the crazy, 234 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: paranoid conspiracy theorists, and a lot of people, even those 235 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: like steeped in all this crap. They're unaware of what 236 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 1: I was just talking about. Because the great con is 237 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:42,679 Speaker 1: it's sold as a moral philosophy and not as a 238 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: tool of takeover in the name of neomarxism. It's sold 239 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 1: as hey, look, black people are belieguered. Are you an 240 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: anti racist or are you a racist? People think, well, 241 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm not a racist, I must be an anti racist. 242 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: Tell me what I should do, Tell me what I 243 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 1: should say? Oh, wise, overlords, and they have no idea 244 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: what they're participating in. I don't remember if it was 245 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:02,320 Speaker 1: a ute video or podcast or what. But his whole 246 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: why two plus two equals five is dangerous? That one 247 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: was so interesting in the history of that and the 248 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: pushback and the people that push. 249 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: It, it's it's wild. 250 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 3: We got a bunch on the way, like why is 251 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: Milania only spent fourteen days at the White House? 252 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 2: What's going on there?

Prosecutors in 307 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: Minnesota's largest county, Woke, Woke, Minneapolis, are now being instructed 308 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: to take race into consideration when you're giving out sentences 309 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: or recommending sentences or prosecuting people. 310 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: That's not racist at all. 311 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 1: No, indeed, that's not at all unconstitutional, except that it's 312 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: completely blatantly in black and white unconstitutional.

I want 320 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: to tell you about it. 321 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,280 Speaker 2: Among other things.

Tell me that is not freaking weird. 327 00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 4: I have no idea. I've been recording it. It was 328 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,640 Speaker 4: a dark black circle, and now it's dissipating. 329 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like somebody blew a big old. 330 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 6: Smokering a congregation the bird. 331 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I thought, because it looked like everything 332 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 4: was falling through the center. But now it's just like 333 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 4: totally dissipating. But I ain't never seen nothing like that 334 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 4: in my life. I hadn't pull over recording. 335 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 2: What the heck was that, Katie. 336 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 8: That was a guy who was driving in Kansas and 337 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 8: there was this giant black ring of Again, people thought 338 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 8: it might have been birds. They didn't know what it was, 339 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 8: but it was a rangement. 340 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 2: Pope got a new pope. Sure, nothing to think about. 341 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 8: Yeah, apparently scientists are claiming that it was man made. 342 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,000 Speaker 8: But it looked like a giant It looked like someone 343 00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 8: blew a giant black smoke ring into the sky. 344 00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: That freaky out, Yeah, and then he laughed like his 345 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: soul had become uninjured. 346 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 8: That was my favorite part of the clip was his laugh. 347 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 8: He was so amused by this, and people were pulling 348 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 8: over to talk to him, and he's on his motorcycle. 349 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: Just look it up. Cool. 350 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,440 Speaker 1: That was a bizarre laugh at the end. Anyway, I'm disturbed. 351 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 1: So you think, Jack, your theory is at least this 352 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 1: is what I've taken from your comments, that the new 353 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:53,439 Speaker 1: pope is actually evil and God Almighty was sending us 354 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 1: a sign but missed by a couple of states and 355 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,800 Speaker 1: sent it to Kansas instead of Illinois. 356 00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 2: No, it's not, but it's a good working theory, I suppose. 357 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 1: So, just getting back briefly to the Minnesota story, you 358 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: got the prosecutor in Hennepin County, which is where Minneapolis is, 359 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: and oh my gosh. You know, well, I won't go 360 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:18,719 Speaker 1: off on the tangent. I'll wait. But this this woman, 361 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: what's her first name, Mary Moriarty, full on woke Marxist 362 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 1: prosecutor of the George Gascone variety and the others. She 363 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: became Hennepin County's top prosecutor January twenty three after receiving 364 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:38,719 Speaker 1: donations from a group link to of course megodowner George Soros. 365 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: She's the same gal who declined to charge that state 366 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: employee who was caught on video vandalizing Tesla cars right 367 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: and costing more than twenty thousand dollars. 368 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,640 Speaker 2: In damage, which is just unbelievable. 369 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, shouldn't we easier two thousand dollars in damage, 370 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:56,479 Speaker 1: no charges? 371 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 2: Shouldn't it be easier to remove those people? 372 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: He has come under scrutiny for repeatedly refusing to prosecute 373 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: accused rapists and killers. According to The New York Post, U, I. 374 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: Mean, you're by definition not doing your job. 375 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 3: I don't understand how it's not easier to remove them, 376 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 3: recall them, or impeach them or whatever. 377 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: You're well right, state. 378 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: Allows, And so the reason we brought this up in 379 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: the last segment was they had she had announced a 380 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 1: policy that they would take race into consideration with charging 381 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: decisions and sentencing decisions and all sorts of stuff. Spokesperson 382 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: for the Hennepin County Attorney's Office defended Mori Alreaties directive 383 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 1: telling local TV station quota defendants race matters because we 384 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: know unaddressed, unconscious biases lead to racial disparities, which is 385 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:46,360 Speaker 1: an unacceptable outcome. A constitutional law professor at the University 386 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: of Minnesota. Jill has Day said the policy will likely 387 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,960 Speaker 1: be overturned by the Supreme Court and accused the progressive 388 00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: prosecutor of writing it ambiguously to skirt constitutional issues. M 389 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: m uh and and she goes into a description of 390 00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: the writing of it. But that's just crazy. 391 00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 2: What was that that thing at the beginning there? The 392 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 2: uh any outcome that. 393 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 1: Oh that I just read. Yeah, defendant's race matters, because 394 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: we know unaddressed, unconscious biases lead to racial disparities, and. 395 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: That's the only way you could end up with unequal 396 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:28,919 Speaker 3: amounts of percentages of people in jail. 397 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, disproportionate, Yeah, incarceration of say, black men. Yeah, 398 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: that's that's it. That's the only possible explanation. So that 399 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: is interesting, to say the least. I really wanted to 400 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,520 Speaker 1: get to how woke Colorado's become. Maybe next week we'll 401 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: talk about it, among other things. Oh and the tangent 402 00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 1: that I disciplined myself for once not to go off 403 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 1: on you. Remember I brought to your attention the gal 404 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: in the Minneapolis area Hennepin County who had dropped an 405 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: N bomb end bombs on a kid in a park 406 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 1: and then various right wing ye folks raised a tremendous 407 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 1: amount of money for her. I mean, like getting close 408 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: to a million dollars, maybe over a million dollars now, Matt. 409 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 3: Walsh, because she had been docked. I mean, she got 410 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 3: her life pretty ruined. I mean, you know, she did 411 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 3: something really awful. But in the modern world, you lose 412 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 3: your job anyway, and then you then you donate money 413 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 3: because you don't think, I don't know, it's complicated. 414 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah it is, and it's even more complicated than I thought. 415 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:39,280 Speaker 1: Matt Walsh Conservative provocateur has written a really interesting piece 416 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: about the situation in her part of Minnesota, that being 417 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: Biden and Minnesota's policies have completely changed the face of 418 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 1: these towns in a very few years, and they are 419 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 1: now just there are any many, many thousands of Somali refugees, 420 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 1: recent immigrants to our land, some legal, some illegal, and 421 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:14,920 Speaker 1: how they have imported to a large degree the Somali culture, 422 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: which includes a rampant corruption and theft, and that a 423 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: lot of people are completely at the end of their 424 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:30,320 Speaker 1: ropes because their town has gone from idyllic midwestern Minneapolis 425 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 1: area town to crime ridden hellhole and there's no reason 426 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: to drop an enbomb on a kid.

We are just going 496 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,159 Speaker 1: to devote all of our time and energy in too 497 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,960 Speaker 1: making sure these kids can do the basic stuff. 498 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 3: Am I crooked letter, crooked letter, I crooked letter, crooked letter? 499 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: I ipply? Yeah? Yeah. More often they have been sloppy 500 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: attempts at debunking Mississippi's success. Some of them ran a 501 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: national papers, others were withdrawn when the authors realized they 502 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: were based on flawed information. There are lessons for our 503 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: education community and for both political parties. 504 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 2: Well that's that. I like that. 505 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 3: That would be a great once again laboratory of democracy 506 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,359 Speaker 3: experiment where they focused on the basics which we've been 507 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 3: saying for a long time, and left out all the 508 00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 3: other crap. It reminds me of the thing Katie sent 509 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,640 Speaker 3: us the other day that in is it Boise, Idaho, 510 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 3: where they just voted to somehow get around the law. 511 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 3: How did that whole thing work, Katie? 512 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 8: They Yeah, they found some loophole in the law where 513 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 8: now the state capitol will permanently display the Pride flag 514 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 8: because they'd passed a law that you could only have 515 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 8: the state or county flags. 516 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,919 Speaker 1: Official flag, official official flag. 517 00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 2: And that's something Trump's been pushing at the federal level. 518 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,560 Speaker 8: And Boise is a blue dot in a sea of 519 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 8: red and everyone is pissed except for the college down. 520 00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 3: And they found a way to include the pride flag 521 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 3: in the official flags second flag. And I just bring 522 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,960 Speaker 3: it up because that's the sort of stuff that's happening 523 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 3: in a lot of schools where they they jam in 524 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 3: all this, like in a whole month worth of pride 525 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 3: stuff in the middle of all you're schooling. 526 00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:05,320 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So here's the detail I needed. This adjustment 527 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: of scores. Demographically, what they're doing is comparing apples to apples, 528 00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 1: kids to kids and separating how you instead of having 529 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,360 Speaker 1: an overall score, how did you do among affluent kids, 530 00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: middle class kids, poverty stricken kids. And Mississippi is doing 531 00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,720 Speaker 1: beautifully compared to a lot of other places on kids 532 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,800 Speaker 1: in poverty. Mississippi just has so many kids in poverty 533 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: it makes their scores look bad like it's quote unquote 534 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 1: a dumb state when they're doing pretty heroic work with 535 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 1: a sort of kids who would do miserably worse in 536 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: more affluent states. With fewer poverty stricken kids. Interesting, Yeah, 537 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: it is interesting. I would never want to dumb things 538 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 1: down and say, well they're poor kids, so that's good enough, 539 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:02,760 Speaker 1: which is the tendency on the left. But now I 540 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:05,760 Speaker 1: get the methodology and why it's at least a decent idea. 541 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 3: So I got a little warning I would throw out 542 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 3: to you if you're thinking of getting a Tesla, and 543 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 3: you probably weren't, but I'm on number three and I 544 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 3: got rear ended a couple about a month or so ago, 545 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 3: if you remember that in my cyberbeast, and so I 546 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: took it in to get a fixed yesterday, and I 547 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: learned something you need to know before you ever consider 548 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,960 Speaker 3: buying a Tesla, or maybe even in any other electric cars. 549 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:28,680 Speaker 3: I don't know, but anyway, that and other stuff will 550 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 3: finish strong next. 551 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 2: So this makes me stupid, but this is the way 552 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 2: I did it. So I bought. 553 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 3: I'm on my third Tesla that I've had. I never 554 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 3: paid attention to what the car insurance was. Really I 555 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 3: just said, whatever it is that this is the car 556 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna get. I gotta pay it. I mean, you know, 557 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 3: I chose the deductible and all that sort of stuff, 558 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 3: But the car insurance on Tesla's is insane. 559 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 2: I mean absolutely insane. 560 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: And so I got into that conversation with the guy 561 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:00,920 Speaker 3: yesterday because I got real ended about a month ago 562 00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 3: and my brand new Cyberpiecet and it took it in 563 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 3: to get it fixed, and it's gonna be like eight 564 00:31:05,320 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 3: thousand dollars for this minor bit of damage. Part of 565 00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: the reason it's so expensive to repair these things. And 566 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 3: I just wonder if all cars are going to be 567 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 3: going this direction as technology gets more and more and 568 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 3: more complicated. Any very few shops can work on a 569 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 3: Tesla because you have to be certified from the person 570 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 3: who answers the phone and every single tech. You just 571 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 3: can't have one tech that knows how to work on Tesla. 572 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,160 Speaker 3: Everybody has to be fully certified. You have to have 573 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:33,520 Speaker 3: all the tools, everything like that. The reason for that 574 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 3: is Elon and Tesla's on the hook for if anything 575 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:42,480 Speaker 3: happens with the automotive automatic driving thing, if anything goes wrong, 576 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,959 Speaker 3: so you get any kind of dent or anything like that, 577 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,760 Speaker 3: they got to make sure that didn't damage any sensor 578 00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,720 Speaker 3: or anything so that it doesn't cause a crash, you know, 579 00:31:50,760 --> 00:31:52,440 Speaker 3: and on the hook for a billion dollars or it 580 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 3: ruins the whole thing. 581 00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: Wow. 582 00:31:54,520 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 3: And so for that reason, it's really expensive, Like I mean, 583 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 3: you should look into it if you think and you're 584 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 3: gonna save money because you're not buying gas. There's no 585 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 3: way you're gonna come out ahead with what insurance costs. 586 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 3: And I just wonder if all vehicles are gonna go 587 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: that way. Do you think the whole like self driving 588 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 3: thing is gonna become like pretty much every car will 589 00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 3: have them. 590 00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it's gonna be damn expensive to fix a 591 00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: certain level of expense. Yeah, I you know, I don't 592 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: have a test lab. I have a car with a 593 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: fair number of sensors and ability to do this, that 594 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,960 Speaker 1: and the other. And I was told the first time 595 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,840 Speaker 1: of the windshield crack, that'll be X dollars and I 596 00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 1: said what they said, Yeah, we got to replace all 597 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,480 Speaker 1: the sensors. And is for that reason it's liability again, Well, 598 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,880 Speaker 1: and probably a good idea because I don't want to die. 599 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't know Fiery crash Jack's. 600 00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,800 Speaker 9: Got quips that'll leave you with stitches.
