Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1002 Scott Adams： Today You Learn That All the News is Pretend News

00:00:00.380 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.97

00:00:03.640 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:06.600 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.97

00:00:10.760 Hey, everybody.

00:00:12.200 Come on in.

00:00:13.640 Gather around.

00:00:14.740 It's going to be a good one.

00:00:16.460 Oh, yeah.

00:00:17.600 We got terrible things, and funny things, and funny, terrible things.

00:00:20.980 We got fake news, real news, but mostly fake news.

00:00:25.100 And it's the interesting kind, the good kind.

00:00:28.160 The kind that makes you smarter.

00:00:31.860 Yeah, every one of you will be smarter by the time you're done.

00:00:36.760 Christina, good morning.

00:00:41.080 But before we get going, I think you know what we need to do,

00:00:46.000 and it's called the simultaneous sip,

00:00:47.300 and all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chile,

00:00:50.260 a source, thine, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:54.600 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:55.720 I like coffee.

00:00:58.160 And join me now for the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:02.140 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:05.460 It's called the simultaneous sip,

00:01:08.940 and even the pandemic will be improved with this sip.

00:01:13.880 Watch this.

00:01:14.800 Can you feel the curve flattening?

00:01:17.160 Flattening, flattening, sip.

00:01:22.900 Yep.

00:01:23.500 Yep.

00:01:23.520 Yep, I can feel the coronavirus death curve just bending a little bit there with one sip.

00:01:32.820 So here is a little tip for you.

00:01:37.800 This is a retail store tip.

00:01:41.160 You can take this one to the bank.

00:01:42.940 If you're going to start a retail store,

00:01:47.240 don't name it Target.

00:01:52.160 Well, if you're watching the news today, you're laughing.

00:01:54.620 But if you don't know what the news is today,

00:01:56.980 there's a Target store that got ravaged in, I guess, Minnesota

00:02:01.180 because they're having riots and looting over the tragic death of the man who was killed by the police there

00:02:09.260 when they put their knee on his neck.

00:02:12.320 And the funniest comment that I saw today, I just tweeted,

00:02:21.080 is from a user, FrankieFriday98.

00:02:24.780 And he suggests a new rule.

00:02:28.680 And if you want to learn a rule of humor,

00:02:32.540 this is a perfect example.

00:02:34.060 So this is a perfect tweet from FrankieFriday98.

00:02:37.540 And he says that the rule should be,

00:02:40.240 I'm paraphrasing because I'm not looking at it.

00:02:42.420 He says the new rule should be

00:02:43.920 that if police kill anybody in your town,

00:02:46.840 the local Target has to give away all of its products

00:02:49.500 because it's going to happen anyway.

00:02:55.840 And you might as well do it without getting your windows broken.

00:03:00.680 And the reason this makes me laugh

00:03:08.740 is because it's perfect joke form

00:03:11.140 because it makes sense.

00:03:13.460 At the same time, it doesn't make any sense.

00:03:16.540 So if you can put those two together,

00:03:19.260 you've got a joke.

00:03:20.300 That's what causes the laugh reflex.

00:03:22.660 Because you say to yourself,

00:03:24.240 oh, wait a minute.

00:03:25.800 If they're going to steal all the stuff of the Target anyway,

00:03:28.220 you might as well just make that the rule.

00:03:31.740 If the police kill somebody,

00:03:32.960 you just have to open Target and say,

00:03:34.420 all right, do what you want to do.

00:03:38.880 I don't know why that's so funny, but it is.

00:03:44.120 So I tweeted a great article and thread

00:03:49.880 from Andres Backhouse.

00:03:52.100 I told you you should be following him.

00:03:54.040 So look at my Twitter feed this morning.

00:03:55.980 It's toward the top.

00:03:56.680 And he tells you about the common errors

00:04:00.480 that people are making

00:04:01.760 looking at the coronavirus studies

00:04:04.840 and data from different places.

00:04:07.200 And it's a real good overview.

00:04:10.540 If you think you understand

00:04:12.380 what's going on with the data,

00:04:14.800 read all the mistakes that you can easily make.

00:04:17.940 And you might find

00:04:18.820 that we don't know anything about anything.

00:04:21.680 I think we're getting close to the point

00:04:24.000 where we can't compare anything to anything

00:04:26.880 and we just don't know anything

00:04:28.420 because none of our comparisons are valid.

00:04:32.540 There's always an apple to an orange going on.

00:04:35.560 Anyway, so that's worth looking at.

00:04:38.100 And one of the funniest stories

00:04:39.260 is that Democrats are getting panicked

00:04:41.860 that the economy might come back too quickly.

00:04:45.800 It might come back too quickly

00:04:47.960 and before the election.

00:04:50.940 Now, when I say come back,

00:04:52.380 I don't mean all the way back.

00:04:54.040 That would be much too soon

00:04:55.440 to be all the way back.

00:04:57.500 But what people are expecting

00:04:59.940 is a sharp sort of the beginning of a V

00:05:03.280 and the rest of the V shape would take,

00:05:06.480 you know, it might take a year

00:05:07.460 to get the V finished.

00:05:09.000 It could be two years.

00:05:09.660 But the first part of the V

00:05:12.240 might happen quickly,

00:05:13.600 meaning that just people go back to work

00:05:15.540 for those businesses

00:05:16.960 that didn't get closed down permanently

00:05:19.080 and things get back pretty quickly.

00:05:22.880 So the panic is that

00:05:24.440 Trump is going to be going into election day

00:05:27.820 with an economy that's,

00:05:30.980 you know, the GDP has basically doubled

00:05:32.740 because it's coming off a low base.

00:05:35.660 Now, what's funny about this

00:05:37.040 is that for the past four years,

00:05:39.260 what have Obama supporters

00:05:42.180 been saying about the economy?

00:05:45.080 Obama supporters have been making the claim

00:05:47.820 that Obama did even better than Trump

00:05:51.240 because if you look at some of the numbers

00:05:53.520 like percentages and growth and stuff,

00:05:56.000 it was better under Obama.

00:05:58.920 But what do they leave out?

00:06:01.360 They always leave out the same thing,

00:06:03.800 that Obama came into office

00:06:05.200 when the economy was at the bottom.

00:06:07.580 And when your economy is at the very bottom,

00:06:10.980 the first part of the recovery

00:06:12.580 is the easy part.

00:06:14.320 It's people who are already trained to work.

00:06:16.800 They just go back to work.

00:06:18.560 That part's easy.

00:06:19.820 So Obama presided over

00:06:21.380 what I call the easy part of the recovery,

00:06:24.560 meaning that your percentage gain

00:06:27.360 from the bottom is always going to look good.

00:06:29.140 And so illegitimately,

00:06:32.520 sort of going back to Andrea's point

00:06:34.840 about how we're not good about analyzing data,

00:06:38.480 so people have illegitimately said,

00:06:41.380 but hey, you say Trump's doing good for the economy?

00:06:44.020 Look at Obama's numbers.

00:06:45.220 They're better.

00:06:46.120 But of course, that's an apple to an orange

00:06:48.140 because how quickly you recover from a bottom

00:06:51.840 should be impressive.

00:06:53.560 How much you can add to the top

00:06:56.620 is a lot harder.

00:06:59.560 And Trump did that.

00:07:01.160 So Trump was adding to a fairly strong economy.

00:07:04.680 That's the hard part.

00:07:06.060 That's the hardest part to get right.

00:07:08.640 And I'm not even sure

00:07:09.980 if you reverse the two presidents,

00:07:11.780 you had them serve each other's terms.

00:07:14.640 I don't know if that would have worked.

00:07:16.920 It felt like they were both

00:07:18.360 sort of suited for their time.

00:07:21.200 But anyway, that's another story.

00:07:22.160 The point is that we may have

00:07:25.840 an impressive-looking semi-recovery by November,

00:07:31.060 and that looks like bad news for Democrats.

00:07:34.260 And the fact that that would look like bad news

00:07:36.540 is just, well, it's a head shaker.

00:07:40.860 All right.

00:07:41.460 Are you ready to have your brain

00:07:43.860 spinning in your skull?

00:07:48.140 I'm going to give you a simple suggestion

00:07:50.620 that if I do it right

00:07:52.880 will make you say something like,

00:07:56.680 uh, why didn't anybody suggest that before?

00:08:00.740 So that's my challenge.

00:08:02.220 My challenge is that as soon as you hear this suggestion,

00:08:04.840 you're going to say,

00:08:06.420 oh my goodness,

00:08:08.560 why didn't anybody say this before?

00:08:11.900 Now, this is not my original suggestion.

00:08:14.080 This is just something I saw on Twitter

00:08:16.340 from a Twitter user who made this suggestion.

00:08:20.040 And when I read it,

00:08:21.260 I had the feeling that you're going to have in a minute,

00:08:23.260 which is,

00:08:24.300 uh, why is that so smart?

00:08:27.300 And yet nobody has said this yet.

00:08:29.080 And it goes like this.

00:08:30.860 We're talking about mail-in ballots,

00:08:32.760 and we're talking about the dangers of voting

00:08:35.000 because of coronavirus.

00:08:35.900 Here's the suggestion.

00:08:38.400 You ready?

00:08:40.260 Have election day

00:08:41.720 be election week.

00:08:45.280 And you just spread it out.

00:08:47.760 Just election week.

00:08:49.860 Because just about everybody

00:08:51.620 can get to the election,

00:08:53.140 the election place within a week.

00:08:56.780 Now, maybe you would spread it out

00:08:58.280 by, you know,

00:08:59.020 the last,

00:08:59.940 the letter in your last name or something.

00:09:02.880 So I'm going to watch your comments.

00:09:05.580 But right?

00:09:06.660 I'm watching the comments.

00:09:08.140 Oh my goodness,

00:09:08.900 why didn't anyone say this before?

00:09:11.520 Somebody says no,

00:09:12.600 but without a reason.

00:09:13.940 More time to cheat?

00:09:16.280 More time to cheat?

00:09:17.700 What's that mean?

00:09:19.360 Great idea.

00:09:20.560 I said this a month ago.

00:09:22.460 Somebody says.

00:09:23.480 Not new.

00:09:24.180 Been saying that for years.

00:09:25.920 Somebody says I said that years ago.

00:09:27.880 Well,

00:09:28.140 I'll bet a lot of individuals have said it.

00:09:30.640 But why is it not

00:09:32.040 in the national conversation?

00:09:34.240 Have you seen it on the news?

00:09:37.440 Now,

00:09:38.080 if you've said this

00:09:39.020 in past years,

00:09:41.000 you are probably,

00:09:42.580 you know,

00:09:43.480 talking about it

00:09:44.320 with less urgency.

00:09:46.060 At the moment,

00:09:47.020 we have a medical reason.

00:09:48.740 There's a completely valid,

00:09:51.200 completely obvious,

00:09:52.480 completely agreed upon

00:09:53.780 medical reason.

00:09:56.280 Somebody says they do that

00:09:57.480 in Florida.

00:09:58.540 Not aware of that.

00:09:59.420 maybe for local elections.

00:10:02.940 Somebody says

00:10:03.640 we already have that

00:10:04.320 for early voting.

00:10:05.400 Well,

00:10:05.600 anyway,

00:10:06.360 the larger point of it is,

00:10:08.140 why was this not part

00:10:09.440 of the national conversation?

00:10:13.340 Who exactly would be opposed

00:10:15.820 to spreading election day

00:10:17.960 to a week

00:10:18.640 so everybody's safer?

00:10:20.380 I just don't see

00:10:21.080 how anybody would oppose that.

00:10:23.280 All right.

00:10:25.260 That kind of messes

00:10:26.820 with your head,

00:10:27.380 doesn't it?

00:10:27.820 Just a little bit

00:10:29.220 because you say to yourself,

00:10:30.720 really?

00:10:31.700 We got all the way to here

00:10:33.040 and that's the first time

00:10:34.620 I've heard that?

00:10:36.060 Because that's how I felt

00:10:37.300 when I heard it the first time.

00:10:38.420 It's like,

00:10:38.640 what?

00:10:40.100 All right.

00:10:41.680 So,

00:10:42.220 we have another one

00:10:43.060 of those days

00:10:43.740 where all of our biggest

00:10:45.100 news stories

00:10:45.840 have something in common.

00:10:48.000 They didn't happen.

00:10:49.040 All the news,

00:10:52.440 pretty much fake news

00:10:53.740 this week.

00:10:54.620 Now,

00:10:54.900 when I say it's all fake news,

00:10:56.260 I mean the interpretations

00:10:57.500 of it.

00:10:58.540 It is true

00:10:59.420 that a target

00:11:00.600 is on fire

00:11:01.460 somewhere in Minnesota.

00:11:03.980 So,

00:11:04.360 the facts of

00:11:05.320 this is on fire,

00:11:07.200 this person died,

00:11:09.140 those are all facts.

00:11:10.860 But the way

00:11:11.660 we're interpreting it,

00:11:13.300 just ridiculous.

00:11:14.020 For example,

00:11:16.840 there's the

00:11:17.880 Joe Scarborough story

00:11:20.180 about

00:11:21.520 the president's

00:11:23.480 allegations

00:11:24.020 that Joe Scarborough

00:11:25.740 killed an employee.

00:11:28.180 Now,

00:11:29.180 I rush to say

00:11:30.700 there's no evidence

00:11:32.180 that Joe Scarborough

00:11:33.240 ever killed an employee.

00:11:35.980 Which,

00:11:36.940 I can't stop laughing

00:11:38.200 when I think about it

00:11:39.160 because it's so audacious.

00:11:40.920 It's so ridiculous.

00:11:42.520 And,

00:11:43.160 you know the president

00:11:44.000 doesn't believe it.

00:11:45.540 Of course he doesn't

00:11:46.340 believe it.

00:11:47.020 And he doesn't say

00:11:48.000 he believes it.

00:11:49.020 He simply passes

00:11:50.160 on the rumor,

00:11:51.840 make sure you've heard it.

00:11:54.960 So,

00:11:55.720 the fact that

00:11:57.060 anybody takes

00:11:58.080 this seriously

00:11:59.040 is the funny part

00:12:00.640 of the story.

00:12:01.580 The funny part

00:12:02.540 of the story

00:12:03.100 is that the media

00:12:04.460 even reports on it.

00:12:06.580 I mean,

00:12:06.840 that should have been

00:12:08.360 one or two tweets

00:12:10.480 by the president

00:12:11.240 in which the media

00:12:12.700 should have looked at

00:12:13.520 and said,

00:12:14.000 oh,

00:12:14.260 that's funny.

00:12:14.940 He doesn't mean that.

00:12:16.240 And just ignore it.

00:12:17.720 They could have

00:12:18.180 just ignored it

00:12:19.020 when it became

00:12:19.800 the biggest thing

00:12:21.940 in the country.

00:12:22.920 Which,

00:12:23.460 of course,

00:12:23.820 perfectly plays

00:12:24.660 into

00:12:25.040 Trump's

00:12:27.480 strategy,

00:12:28.860 I would assume,

00:12:29.740 which is simply

00:12:30.540 to put some

00:12:31.500 pressure on

00:12:32.400 Joe Scarborough.

00:12:35.480 I can't stop

00:12:36.600 laughing at that one.

00:12:37.380 All right,

00:12:37.600 so the Scarborough thing

00:12:38.600 is based on something

00:12:39.580 that just didn't happen.

00:12:40.880 All right,

00:12:42.220 how about another one?

00:12:43.560 How about all of the news

00:12:44.900 that was yesterday

00:12:46.280 and last night

00:12:47.020 and today

00:12:47.580 is going to be

00:12:48.600 all about race wars?

00:12:50.620 There's like all this

00:12:51.540 racial tension.

00:12:53.540 Is that what's happening?

00:12:56.800 Do you feel that?

00:12:58.740 Do you feel that

00:12:59.540 the story about,

00:13:00.780 I can't remember

00:13:01.300 his name,

00:13:02.160 George?

00:13:03.100 Is that his last name?

00:13:03.800 The African-American man

00:13:06.540 who was killed

00:13:06.940 by the police officer

00:13:07.840 in Minnesota

00:13:08.320 recently.

00:13:11.560 Now,

00:13:12.080 of course,

00:13:12.340 that happened

00:13:12.980 and then

00:13:14.700 the media

00:13:15.320 and social media

00:13:16.580 have combined

00:13:17.900 to try to turn this

00:13:19.240 into a race story.

00:13:20.920 Do you know

00:13:21.500 what this isn't?

00:13:23.660 This is so not

00:13:24.820 a race story.

00:13:26.300 This is the least

00:13:27.640 racial story

00:13:29.240 of any story

00:13:30.460 that's ever been told.

00:13:32.220 Why?

00:13:32.660 Because there's nobody

00:13:34.000 on the other side of it.

00:13:35.760 It's a complete

00:13:36.520 fake story.

00:13:38.540 There are no people

00:13:39.400 who think

00:13:39.900 that the police officer

00:13:42.400 acted appropriately.

00:13:43.860 There's nobody

00:13:44.780 in the world

00:13:45.380 who thinks

00:13:46.540 that was okay.

00:13:47.780 I mean,

00:13:48.060 if you've actually

00:13:48.580 watched the video,

00:13:49.660 nobody thinks

00:13:50.280 that was okay.

00:13:51.640 Now,

00:13:52.340 there are some people

00:13:53.220 who might be saying,

00:13:54.380 I've seen the video

00:13:55.400 of the initial stop.

00:13:57.240 I've seen the video

00:13:58.220 of where the knee

00:14:00.240 was on the neck.

00:14:01.620 But there's still

00:14:02.160 that there's

00:14:03.140 sort of a gap

00:14:03.860 missing there,

00:14:04.620 which is what happened

00:14:05.500 just before it happened.

00:14:06.920 Now,

00:14:07.120 maybe you're waiting

00:14:07.740 to get the full story,

00:14:09.400 but I'm not sure

00:14:10.720 that's going to tell you

00:14:11.540 something that you

00:14:12.640 need to know

00:14:13.320 because the part

00:14:15.560 you watched

00:14:16.020 was bad enough.

00:14:18.520 But the point is,

00:14:20.380 there's no disagreement

00:14:22.780 on this story.

00:14:24.320 If anybody

00:14:24.920 is trying to

00:14:25.720 sell you

00:14:26.920 that black citizens

00:14:29.500 are on one side

00:14:30.540 and white citizens

00:14:32.140 are on the other

00:14:32.800 side of the story,

00:14:33.520 it's just not true.

00:14:35.280 Everybody's on

00:14:35.940 the same side.

00:14:37.660 Now,

00:14:38.340 let me tell you

00:14:39.040 how you know

00:14:39.900 that this is

00:14:41.060 all political

00:14:41.960 and not

00:14:43.540 actually social.

00:14:46.740 The difference

00:14:47.620 being

00:14:48.300 that if it were

00:14:49.060 a social problem

00:14:50.340 that people

00:14:50.860 were trying

00:14:51.320 to really solve,

00:14:52.620 like they actually

00:14:53.320 wanted a solution,

00:14:54.200 they would do it

00:14:55.620 a different way.

00:14:56.880 But if it's

00:14:57.600 a political problem,

00:14:58.820 you don't necessarily

00:14:59.840 want it solved

00:15:00.820 because you want

00:15:01.640 the issue

00:15:02.060 as much as

00:15:02.700 you could use it.

00:15:05.080 So here is

00:15:06.180 my analysis

00:15:06.860 of why you know

00:15:08.040 that this is not

00:15:08.900 a real issue,

00:15:10.780 meaning that people

00:15:11.760 are not actually

00:15:12.620 trying to solve it,

00:15:14.080 they're using it

00:15:15.000 as a political club.

00:15:16.860 Here's how.

00:15:17.960 Because the way

00:15:18.660 you would solve

00:15:19.720 this police,

00:15:21.960 what seems to be

00:15:23.180 a problem of

00:15:23.900 at least sometimes,

00:15:25.160 police abusing

00:15:26.700 the people

00:15:27.480 they stop.

00:15:28.120 How would you

00:15:28.720 best solve that?

00:15:30.140 If you just

00:15:30.800 wanted to solve it

00:15:31.920 and you didn't

00:15:33.320 want to make it

00:15:33.820 a political thing,

00:15:34.860 how would you do it?

00:15:36.020 Let me answer

00:15:36.640 the question.

00:15:37.780 You would do it

00:15:38.660 the same way

00:15:39.260 that AIDS activists

00:15:40.840 got straight people

00:15:43.840 to care about AIDS.

00:15:45.880 They would tell them

00:15:46.880 it's their problem too.

00:15:48.980 Right?

00:15:49.900 The genius thing

00:15:51.600 that the LGBTQ

00:15:53.300 community,

00:15:55.040 mostly gay men

00:15:56.840 I think,

00:15:57.840 did brilliantly

00:16:00.060 was they

00:16:01.660 made everybody

00:16:02.720 understand

00:16:03.440 that this wasn't

00:16:04.300 a gay problem. 0.99

00:16:05.700 The AIDS

00:16:06.260 can, you know,

00:16:07.080 you can get it

00:16:07.640 in a variety of ways

00:16:08.480 and therefore

00:16:09.420 it's everybody's problem.

00:16:11.340 Once you've

00:16:12.300 redefined it

00:16:13.060 as everyone's problem,

00:16:14.920 what does

00:16:15.840 everyone do?

00:16:17.740 Well then everyone

00:16:18.500 says,

00:16:18.820 how do we solve

00:16:19.380 the problem?

00:16:20.480 You get everyone

00:16:21.200 on board.

00:16:21.960 You get more funding,

00:16:23.340 you get more attention,

00:16:24.320 you get more everything.

00:16:25.580 You just got to get

00:16:26.280 everybody on board.

00:16:28.080 It was the

00:16:28.660 most brilliant part

00:16:30.520 of the AIDS strategy

00:16:32.480 is to make sure

00:16:33.460 that the country

00:16:34.000 didn't think

00:16:34.500 it was limited

00:16:35.100 to one group

00:16:35.820 and then you

00:16:36.760 could solve it.

00:16:37.880 What would

00:16:38.420 the black community

00:16:39.300 do if they wanted

00:16:40.220 to solve

00:16:40.940 what they see

00:16:41.780 as,

00:16:43.240 and I don't have

00:16:44.120 any data

00:16:44.660 to confirm

00:16:45.720 or disconfirm,

00:16:46.520 but what they

00:16:47.860 would see

00:16:48.200 as the police

00:16:49.400 acting too roughly.

00:16:51.400 What would

00:16:51.700 be the best

00:16:52.460 way to solve it?

00:16:54.600 Simple.

00:16:55.880 Give us statistics

00:16:56.960 about how many

00:16:57.600 white people

00:16:58.080 are getting killed

00:16:58.580 by police.

00:17:00.480 Right?

00:17:01.520 If you told me,

00:17:03.540 hey, by the way,

00:17:04.280 this isn't even

00:17:05.180 a racial problem,

00:17:06.460 no matter who

00:17:07.160 gets stopped

00:17:07.620 by the police,

00:17:08.860 some number

00:17:09.480 of them

00:17:09.720 are getting killed

00:17:10.440 for not doing

00:17:11.980 much that deserve

00:17:12.760 to get killed.

00:17:13.380 why don't

00:17:15.140 you just

00:17:15.420 make it

00:17:15.700 a people

00:17:16.260 problem?

00:17:17.660 Just make it

00:17:18.180 a people

00:17:18.500 problem.

00:17:19.260 I'll help.

00:17:20.200 Because as soon

00:17:20.940 as you make

00:17:21.280 it a people

00:17:21.740 problem,

00:17:22.400 then you start

00:17:22.920 talking about

00:17:23.620 solutions.

00:17:24.880 You say,

00:17:25.300 okay,

00:17:25.880 is it a problem

00:17:26.680 that we don't

00:17:27.140 have enough

00:17:27.720 body cams?

00:17:29.860 So maybe we

00:17:30.800 could be part

00:17:31.320 of the solution

00:17:31.980 of helping

00:17:33.120 local police

00:17:33.920 fund more

00:17:34.740 body cams.

00:17:36.400 I wouldn't

00:17:37.180 oppose that.

00:17:38.680 Would you?

00:17:39.720 If black people 1.00

00:17:41.080 want to solve

00:17:41.860 this,

00:17:42.260 just tell

00:17:43.380 white people

00:17:44.220 it's their

00:17:44.620 problem too.

00:17:45.940 Because it is.

00:17:47.360 You don't

00:17:47.860 think any

00:17:48.280 white people

00:17:48.780 have been

00:17:49.020 killed by

00:17:49.420 police?

00:17:50.440 I'm sure

00:17:50.840 they have.

00:17:52.040 And I'm

00:17:52.360 sure that

00:17:52.680 there are

00:17:52.940 plenty of

00:17:53.500 cases where

00:17:54.100 those families

00:17:55.220 of the white 0.77

00:17:55.680 people said,

00:17:56.360 I don't

00:17:56.560 think this

00:17:57.000 was fair.

00:17:58.380 So as soon

00:17:59.680 as you make

00:18:00.060 it a racial

00:18:00.500 problem,

00:18:01.000 you're really

00:18:01.360 signaling that

00:18:02.540 you're not

00:18:02.800 trying to

00:18:03.160 solve the

00:18:03.660 problem.

00:18:05.180 You're trying

00:18:05.800 to have a

00:18:06.200 political wedge.

00:18:07.740 If you want

00:18:08.520 to solve

00:18:08.860 the problem,

00:18:10.360 we'll help.

00:18:12.260 I've

00:18:14.200 literally

00:18:14.620 offered to

00:18:15.260 help publicly

00:18:15.940 on this

00:18:16.440 very problem.

00:18:17.420 Not the

00:18:18.080 Minnesota one,

00:18:18.820 but the

00:18:19.120 police problem.

00:18:20.540 Way back

00:18:20.880 when Kaepernick

00:18:21.580 was making

00:18:22.140 his war

00:18:24.960 public

00:18:25.340 protests,

00:18:26.060 I was

00:18:26.440 saying,

00:18:26.880 well,

00:18:27.020 how can I

00:18:27.360 help?

00:18:29.040 Why don't we

00:18:29.960 just treat it

00:18:30.440 like it's a

00:18:31.040 problem that

00:18:32.460 has maybe a

00:18:33.300 clever solution?

00:18:34.900 I'll help.

00:18:35.420 So if the

00:18:38.220 black citizens

00:18:39.280 of this

00:18:39.800 country want

00:18:40.700 everybody else

00:18:43.160 to help

00:18:43.640 them on

00:18:44.220 this topic,

00:18:45.520 I think

00:18:46.660 we're all

00:18:47.060 ready to

00:18:47.440 do it.

00:18:48.960 Who exactly

00:18:50.040 is on the

00:18:50.420 other side?

00:18:51.320 So it's a

00:18:51.660 big old

00:18:52.060 fake story

00:18:54.160 that there's

00:18:54.660 racial tension

00:18:57.560 over this.

00:18:58.960 there is

00:19:00.480 racial tension,

00:19:01.680 but it's

00:19:02.740 illegitimate.

00:19:04.280 It's

00:19:04.920 illegitimate

00:19:05.540 because we're

00:19:06.920 all on the

00:19:07.540 same side

00:19:08.360 on this

00:19:09.540 story.

00:19:10.220 We're all

00:19:11.160 on the

00:19:11.460 same side.

00:19:12.240 Let's not

00:19:12.600 pretend we're

00:19:13.200 not.

00:19:14.100 Now, as to

00:19:14.980 the looting

00:19:15.940 and the

00:19:17.060 rioting and

00:19:17.840 stuff, I

00:19:19.200 don't think

00:19:19.660 you can

00:19:20.140 really associate

00:19:22.040 that with

00:19:22.860 the event.

00:19:26.060 Because the

00:19:27.160 tragic event

00:19:28.300 can act as

00:19:29.640 a trigger.

00:19:30.420 It's like a

00:19:30.820 fake because.

00:19:32.160 But I think

00:19:32.600 it had a lot

00:19:33.120 to do with

00:19:33.800 people wanted

00:19:34.860 a television.

00:19:36.980 There was no

00:19:37.680 police there.

00:19:39.080 It was a

00:19:39.420 warm summer

00:19:40.000 night.

00:19:41.180 Tensions are

00:19:41.820 high anyway

00:19:42.600 because of

00:19:43.160 the lockdown.

00:19:44.940 It was just

00:19:45.540 a bunch of

00:19:46.000 things came

00:19:46.500 together and

00:19:47.240 there was

00:19:47.500 this fake

00:19:48.060 spark.

00:19:49.920 It's like,

00:19:50.200 oh, let's

00:19:50.580 use this as

00:19:52.020 our excuse

00:19:52.620 to get some

00:19:53.120 big TVs.

00:19:54.540 So I would

00:19:55.520 treat the

00:19:56.280 rioting and

00:19:57.840 the looting

00:19:58.240 just as

00:19:58.740 crime,

00:20:00.180 just ordinary

00:20:00.820 crime.

00:20:01.560 I just

00:20:02.160 don't think

00:20:02.560 you should

00:20:02.960 associate it

00:20:04.140 with.

00:20:05.960 Anyway, have

00:20:07.140 you seen all

00:20:07.580 the videos of

00:20:08.280 the actual

00:20:08.680 looting?

00:20:09.540 I can't

00:20:10.040 stop watching

00:20:10.620 them.

00:20:11.320 So there

00:20:11.580 are a lot

00:20:11.860 of camera

00:20:13.620 phone types

00:20:15.620 of video.

00:20:18.180 And the

00:20:18.420 funniest one

00:20:19.080 is there's

00:20:20.860 a whole bunch

00:20:23.000 of people

00:20:23.440 with masks

00:20:24.680 on to which

00:20:26.200 I say to

00:20:26.640 myself,

00:20:27.220 okay,

00:20:27.980 well,

00:20:28.260 those are

00:20:28.520 the people

00:20:29.820 who know

00:20:30.080 how to do

00:20:30.460 some looting.

00:20:31.700 They're looting

00:20:32.760 right.

00:20:33.700 But there's

00:20:34.080 one video

00:20:34.840 where you can

00:20:36.000 see all the

00:20:36.440 looters in the

00:20:36.960 background.

00:20:37.500 Most of them

00:20:37.900 are masked

00:20:38.540 and they have

00:20:39.320 hoods on and

00:20:39.920 stuff.

00:20:40.660 And you see

00:20:41.020 this one white

00:20:42.700 woman running

00:20:43.680 by with an

00:20:44.280 ugly lamp

00:20:45.000 from Target.

00:20:46.080 And because

00:20:48.040 there aren't

00:20:48.660 that many

00:20:49.380 videos,

00:20:50.520 this one is

00:20:51.260 kind of

00:20:51.580 prominent.

00:20:52.100 She's not

00:20:52.500 wearing a

00:20:53.140 mask.

00:20:54.720 So there's

00:20:56.660 a hundred

00:20:57.000 percent chance

00:20:57.740 that she's

00:20:58.120 being recognized

00:20:58.780 by everybody

00:20:59.380 that she knows

00:21:00.100 who saw

00:21:00.500 this video.

00:21:01.560 And she's

00:21:01.840 there running

00:21:02.660 out of the

00:21:02.960 store looting.

00:21:04.220 But Ellie

00:21:05.580 Alexander said

00:21:06.560 the funniest

00:21:07.000 thing that I've

00:21:07.620 been laughing

00:21:08.740 about for a

00:21:09.460 day.

00:21:11.100 And she

00:21:11.680 doesn't even

00:21:12.160 have a loot

00:21:12.760 right.

00:21:13.060 She's a

00:21:16.560 terrible looter.

00:21:17.480 She can't

00:21:17.820 get her 0.89

00:21:18.040 looting right.

00:21:20.800 Which is so

00:21:21.620 true.

00:21:22.660 It's like I'd

00:21:23.180 like to think

00:21:23.680 that if I were

00:21:24.220 in that

00:21:24.440 situation,

00:21:25.780 I could loot

00:21:27.680 a little more

00:21:28.260 effectively than

00:21:29.080 she's looting.

00:21:30.580 Her looting 0.99

00:21:31.080 needs a lot

00:21:31.580 of work.

00:21:33.540 All right.

00:21:34.460 What else is

00:21:35.280 a fake story?

00:21:36.420 Okay, here's

00:21:36.860 another one.

00:21:39.500 Trump's

00:21:39.940 ignoring the

00:21:40.560 Constitution.

00:21:42.000 So he's

00:21:42.320 talking about

00:21:42.900 doing an

00:21:44.100 executive order

00:21:45.000 about social

00:21:48.760 media.

00:21:49.400 And maybe

00:21:49.860 we know

00:21:51.000 what that

00:21:51.600 is by now,

00:21:52.480 but I haven't

00:21:52.920 seen any

00:21:53.300 details.

00:21:54.480 So we don't

00:21:55.240 know what

00:21:55.500 that will

00:21:55.780 look like.

00:21:56.960 But of

00:21:57.820 course the

00:21:58.180 critics are

00:21:58.680 saying that

00:21:59.100 Trump is

00:21:59.640 ignoring the

00:22:01.320 Constitution,

00:22:02.900 being a

00:22:03.280 dictator,

00:22:04.880 which of

00:22:05.500 course is a

00:22:06.020 completely false

00:22:06.840 story.

00:22:08.080 Because there

00:22:08.960 isn't the

00:22:09.420 slightest chance

00:22:10.360 that whatever

00:22:11.880 Trump does

00:22:12.700 with this

00:22:13.100 executive order,

00:22:14.500 there isn't

00:22:14.980 the slightest

00:22:15.540 chance that

00:22:17.320 it won't be

00:22:17.880 tested against

00:22:18.740 all of our

00:22:19.300 legal and

00:22:20.400 constitutional

00:22:21.140 standards.

00:22:22.280 Because of

00:22:22.800 course it

00:22:23.140 will.

00:22:23.800 And he's

00:22:24.200 not going to

00:22:24.580 stop it.

00:22:25.600 He'll fight

00:22:26.260 for his

00:22:26.820 side.

00:22:28.080 He might

00:22:28.460 take it to

00:22:29.020 court.

00:22:29.640 Maybe it

00:22:30.380 becomes a

00:22:30.900 Supreme Court

00:22:32.240 thing.

00:22:33.120 But in the

00:22:33.620 end, the one

00:22:34.480 thing I can

00:22:35.040 guarantee you

00:22:35.900 is that

00:22:37.160 whichever way

00:22:37.940 the courts

00:22:38.640 and the

00:22:39.020 law go,

00:22:40.580 so too

00:22:41.320 will the

00:22:41.940 Trump

00:22:42.200 administration

00:22:42.700 go.

00:22:43.700 So it's

00:22:44.220 a complete

00:22:44.640 fake news

00:22:45.520 that the

00:22:46.120 president is

00:22:46.580 looking to

00:22:47.000 violate the

00:22:47.560 Constitution,

00:22:48.740 when indeed

00:22:49.280 he's doing

00:22:49.720 exactly the

00:22:50.860 opposite,

00:22:51.960 which is

00:22:52.360 trying to

00:22:52.820 work within

00:22:53.460 it.

00:22:54.680 He might

00:22:55.540 poke every

00:22:56.280 door and

00:22:56.880 push every

00:22:57.480 button,

00:22:58.340 and some

00:22:58.720 of them

00:22:58.920 might not

00:22:59.280 work,

00:22:59.920 but he's

00:23:00.560 very clearly

00:23:01.340 trying to

00:23:01.900 find solutions

00:23:02.720 within the

00:23:03.320 framework of the

00:23:04.080 Constitution and

00:23:05.100 our legal

00:23:05.500 system.

00:23:06.600 And I

00:23:07.040 don't know

00:23:07.300 how you

00:23:07.640 could imagine

00:23:08.600 in your

00:23:10.020 imaginary world

00:23:11.680 that anything

00:23:12.440 else is

00:23:13.000 happening.

00:23:13.820 There isn't

00:23:14.200 any chance

00:23:15.000 that this is

00:23:15.700 going to

00:23:15.900 become some

00:23:16.380 kind of

00:23:17.280 extra

00:23:17.760 constitutional

00:23:18.540 thing.

00:23:19.540 No chance.

00:23:21.380 I mean,

00:23:21.720 really,

00:23:22.060 there's zero

00:23:22.460 chance.

00:23:23.680 But people

00:23:24.280 are treating

00:23:24.780 that like,

00:23:25.360 yeah,

00:23:26.080 that's

00:23:26.260 happening.

00:23:27.240 That's

00:23:27.580 happening.

00:23:28.020 He's

00:23:28.220 ignoring the

00:23:28.760 Constitution.

00:23:30.200 All right.

00:23:31.560 The other

00:23:32.160 big story,

00:23:32.900 of course,

00:23:33.540 is the

00:23:34.500 Twitter

00:23:34.800 fact-checking,

00:23:36.220 which,

00:23:36.780 as of

00:23:37.140 today,

00:23:37.600 my

00:23:37.780 understanding

00:23:38.340 is that's

00:23:38.880 all fake

00:23:39.340 news as

00:23:40.060 well.

00:23:41.080 Fake

00:23:41.420 news,

00:23:41.940 not in

00:23:42.460 the sense

00:23:42.860 that there

00:23:43.460 was not

00:23:44.760 a fact-check

00:23:46.100 banner put

00:23:47.360 on the

00:23:47.640 president's

00:23:48.180 tweet.

00:23:48.960 That part's

00:23:49.480 true.

00:23:50.580 It's,

00:23:51.040 of course,

00:23:51.360 the interpretation

00:23:52.260 that's wrong.

00:23:53.840 And here's

00:23:54.740 my current

00:23:55.300 understanding.

00:23:56.540 I think

00:23:57.160 this might

00:23:57.620 evolve,

00:23:59.180 but here's

00:23:59.520 my current

00:24:00.100 understanding

00:24:00.760 of what

00:24:02.600 Twitter did

00:24:03.840 and what

00:24:04.600 Jack Dorsey

00:24:05.660 is saying

00:24:06.220 about it,

00:24:07.160 which is

00:24:08.080 completely

00:24:08.520 different than

00:24:09.100 what the

00:24:09.440 news is

00:24:09.880 reporting.

00:24:11.280 Okay?

00:24:11.940 So I

00:24:12.600 believe that

00:24:13.040 everything you've

00:24:13.740 heard about

00:24:14.940 why Twitter

00:24:15.900 did what it

00:24:16.940 did is

00:24:18.140 fake news.

00:24:19.600 I think it's

00:24:20.060 fake news on

00:24:20.720 Fox News and

00:24:21.620 it's fake news

00:24:22.260 on CNN.

00:24:23.460 I think it's

00:24:23.820 just all fake

00:24:24.340 news.

00:24:25.340 Because here's

00:24:26.140 what Twitter

00:24:26.700 was attempting

00:24:28.180 to do and

00:24:29.660 how they

00:24:29.960 explain it.

00:24:31.480 And then

00:24:31.940 compare that

00:24:32.620 to how the

00:24:33.060 news has

00:24:33.500 handled it.

00:24:34.680 All right?

00:24:35.060 So the

00:24:35.660 news has

00:24:36.180 largely handled

00:24:37.000 it as on

00:24:37.940 CNN they're

00:24:38.660 saying the

00:24:39.840 president made

00:24:40.560 some claims

00:24:41.180 about mailing

00:24:44.220 votes and

00:24:45.340 they were

00:24:45.660 fake.

00:24:46.700 So Twitter

00:24:47.660 called it

00:24:48.120 down and

00:24:48.960 then pointed

00:24:49.440 to accurate

00:24:50.120 information.

00:24:51.340 So that's

00:24:51.600 what CNN

00:24:52.040 is.

00:24:52.580 That's sort

00:24:53.220 of their

00:24:53.460 take on

00:24:53.900 it.

00:24:55.440 That's

00:24:56.020 fake news.

00:24:56.600 Fox's

00:24:58.320 take on

00:24:58.860 it is

00:24:59.560 that it's

00:25:00.220 just more

00:25:00.820 of anti-conservative

00:25:03.580 bias and

00:25:04.780 why are they

00:25:05.220 picking on

00:25:05.600 the president

00:25:06.100 when there's

00:25:06.660 so many other

00:25:07.200 fake things

00:25:07.800 to do.

00:25:08.720 So it's

00:25:08.960 obviously just

00:25:09.800 the beginning

00:25:10.260 of what will

00:25:10.980 be more

00:25:11.580 bias.

00:25:12.960 That I

00:25:13.860 believe also

00:25:14.380 is fake

00:25:14.860 news.

00:25:15.820 So I

00:25:16.240 think the

00:25:16.560 way it's

00:25:16.900 being handled

00:25:17.420 on both

00:25:18.060 the left

00:25:18.500 and the

00:25:18.800 right are

00:25:19.180 completely

00:25:19.520 different.

00:25:20.840 But they're

00:25:21.520 both completely

00:25:22.640 fake news.

00:25:24.320 Here's what

00:25:24.960 I think is

00:25:26.000 the real

00:25:26.320 story.

00:25:27.800 And I'll

00:25:28.520 give this

00:25:29.500 an 80%

00:25:30.380 confidence

00:25:30.940 level.

00:25:32.460 Because I

00:25:33.000 think you

00:25:33.280 should know

00:25:34.480 that there's

00:25:35.460 a solid

00:25:35.880 20% chance

00:25:37.300 that this

00:25:37.940 will all

00:25:38.220 be different

00:25:38.620 by tomorrow.

00:25:39.740 And tomorrow

00:25:40.160 I'll be

00:25:40.540 telling you,

00:25:40.920 I got it

00:25:41.380 all wrong.

00:25:42.180 Now I

00:25:42.620 know something

00:25:43.040 more.

00:25:43.920 But my

00:25:44.360 current

00:25:44.640 understanding

00:25:45.160 is this.

00:25:45.800 This is

00:25:46.180 based on

00:25:47.500 Jack Dorsey's

00:25:49.400 tweets on

00:25:50.200 it.

00:25:51.360 And I

00:25:52.320 want to

00:25:52.740 read them

00:25:53.260 because you

00:25:53.760 need to get

00:25:54.200 his exact

00:25:54.860 wording to

00:25:55.900 know what

00:25:56.200 I'm

00:25:56.340 talking

00:25:56.580 about.

00:25:59.940 So first

00:26:03.260 of all,

00:26:03.580 Jack said,

00:26:04.120 fact check

00:26:04.580 that there

00:26:04.960 is someone

00:26:05.560 ultimately

00:26:06.120 accountable for

00:26:07.060 our actions

00:26:07.580 as a company

00:26:08.320 and that's

00:26:09.300 me.

00:26:10.120 So Jack

00:26:10.680 is taking

00:26:11.080 all

00:26:11.240 responsibility

00:26:11.780 and he

00:26:12.240 says,

00:26:12.640 please leave

00:26:13.640 our employees

00:26:14.240 out of this

00:26:14.840 because as

00:26:15.700 you know,

00:26:16.340 a specific

00:26:16.900 employee was

00:26:18.400 sort of in

00:26:19.520 social media

00:26:20.180 and on the

00:26:21.200 news as

00:26:22.020 the person

00:26:23.000 responsible for

00:26:23.820 this function.

00:26:24.600 but Jack

00:26:27.020 accurately

00:26:27.820 states that

00:26:29.700 he's the

00:26:30.380 boss and

00:26:31.080 the boss

00:26:31.460 takes

00:26:31.720 responsibility

00:26:32.300 and I

00:26:33.380 think we

00:26:33.720 all appreciate

00:26:34.500 that.

00:26:35.960 So while I

00:26:37.900 don't think

00:26:38.240 this will

00:26:38.540 necessarily stop

00:26:39.480 people from

00:26:39.980 going after

00:26:40.460 employees of

00:26:41.820 Twitter,

00:26:42.240 I think we

00:26:43.180 all appreciate

00:26:43.780 when the

00:26:44.260 boss backs

00:26:46.040 up the

00:26:46.360 employees.

00:26:46.740 So I

00:26:48.200 think you

00:26:48.480 can

00:26:48.640 appreciate

00:26:49.080 it on

00:26:49.700 a leadership

00:26:51.440 level that

00:26:52.940 you want

00:26:53.260 your leader

00:26:53.700 to back

00:26:54.120 up your

00:26:54.420 employees

00:26:54.880 because the

00:26:56.080 employees are

00:26:56.580 doing what

00:26:56.940 you told

00:26:57.340 them to do

00:26:57.860 and if they

00:26:59.020 make a mistake

00:26:59.640 that's sort

00:27:00.160 of an

00:27:00.480 internal

00:27:00.800 problem.

00:27:02.320 So far I

00:27:03.560 think we

00:27:03.900 could say

00:27:04.320 maybe you

00:27:06.120 still want

00:27:06.520 to say

00:27:06.740 things about

00:27:07.380 individual

00:27:08.040 employees and

00:27:08.780 I think

00:27:09.020 there is a

00:27:09.540 story there

00:27:10.040 because you

00:27:11.160 always have to

00:27:11.640 look at the

00:27:12.000 bias and

00:27:12.480 stuff.

00:27:13.380 But I

00:27:13.660 think you

00:27:13.960 could also

00:27:14.320 appreciate at

00:27:15.300 the same

00:27:15.620 time that

00:27:16.860 a leader

00:27:17.200 of an

00:27:17.500 organization

00:27:18.040 wants to

00:27:18.860 back the

00:27:19.780 employees and

00:27:20.840 so he did.

00:27:21.380 So that's one

00:27:21.920 tweet.

00:27:22.880 I don't think

00:27:23.380 we have to

00:27:23.740 make too

00:27:24.060 much of

00:27:24.360 that one.

00:27:25.980 Then he

00:27:26.500 goes on,

00:27:27.060 this does

00:27:27.720 not make

00:27:28.160 us an

00:27:29.100 arbiter of

00:27:29.980 truth.

00:27:30.760 I think

00:27:31.100 that was

00:27:31.400 referring to

00:27:32.440 maybe it

00:27:34.620 was Zuckerberg's

00:27:36.280 comment that

00:27:36.900 Zuckerberg

00:27:38.100 didn't want

00:27:38.660 Facebook to

00:27:39.500 be an

00:27:39.800 arbiter of

00:27:40.640 truth.

00:27:42.860 So let me

00:27:43.520 read the rest

00:27:43.940 of this.

00:27:44.240 This does not

00:27:44.760 make us an

00:27:45.240 arbiter of

00:27:45.720 truth.

00:27:46.140 Our

00:27:46.260 intention is

00:27:47.640 to connect

00:27:48.160 the dots

00:27:48.780 of conflicting

00:27:49.660 statements and

00:27:51.020 show the

00:27:51.500 information in

00:27:52.460 dispute.

00:27:53.900 Okay.

00:27:54.520 So he

00:27:55.080 says the

00:27:55.480 intention is

00:27:57.320 to highlight

00:27:58.260 things that

00:27:58.800 are in

00:27:59.000 dispute and

00:28:00.300 then connect

00:28:00.840 the dots.

00:28:01.560 The way I

00:28:02.400 read this is

00:28:03.440 that you

00:28:03.700 would see all

00:28:04.300 the dots.

00:28:05.200 You would

00:28:05.720 see the

00:28:06.020 dots on

00:28:06.460 both sides.

00:28:07.960 Now remember

00:28:08.400 yesterday I

00:28:08.980 was saying I'd

00:28:09.680 be happy,

00:28:10.200 just as a

00:28:10.780 user, if

00:28:12.080 something got

00:28:13.140 labeled fake,

00:28:14.020 so long as

00:28:15.700 equally

00:28:16.380 prominently and

00:28:17.540 the equally

00:28:18.060 prominent part

00:28:18.960 is sort of

00:28:19.700 the tricky

00:28:20.060 part because

00:28:20.660 a user

00:28:21.000 interface, you

00:28:22.240 can't make

00:28:22.620 everything

00:28:22.980 equally

00:28:23.400 prominent, it

00:28:24.460 just can't

00:28:24.860 be done

00:28:25.220 logically.

00:28:26.880 So your

00:28:27.300 user interface

00:28:28.020 on Twitter

00:28:28.520 is going to

00:28:29.480 have to use

00:28:29.900 some magic

00:28:30.460 to make it

00:28:32.100 feel like you're

00:28:32.840 getting equal

00:28:33.440 prominence of

00:28:34.820 the fact

00:28:36.360 check that

00:28:36.940 says it's

00:28:37.320 false, but

00:28:38.480 also the

00:28:39.140 sources that

00:28:39.700 say no, no,

00:28:40.280 it's not

00:28:40.640 false, here's

00:28:41.440 our sources.

00:28:43.800 So Jack

00:28:44.660 seems to be

00:28:45.440 signaling with

00:28:47.220 this tweet that

00:28:48.580 the intention is

00:28:49.460 to show both

00:28:50.120 sides of

00:28:50.900 disputed tweets.

00:28:52.040 Do you have a

00:28:52.480 problem with

00:28:52.960 that?

00:28:54.040 Would you

00:28:54.460 have a problem,

00:28:55.660 let me ask you

00:28:56.300 in the comments,

00:28:57.320 would you have

00:28:57.900 a problem if it

00:28:58.860 could be done?

00:29:00.200 I don't know if

00:29:00.760 it could be done

00:29:01.380 because it's just

00:29:02.440 hard to execute

00:29:03.100 that, but if

00:29:04.320 it could be

00:29:04.760 done, that

00:29:06.520 Twitter would

00:29:07.140 flag things

00:29:07.880 that are

00:29:08.140 disputed, but

00:29:09.780 clearly show

00:29:10.620 both sides,

00:29:12.360 would you be

00:29:12.880 okay with

00:29:13.300 that?

00:29:14.600 Because I

00:29:15.300 actually would.

00:29:16.700 I would be

00:29:17.140 100% okay with

00:29:18.140 that.

00:29:18.820 Not only that,

00:29:19.580 but I would

00:29:19.880 think that would

00:29:20.320 be positive

00:29:20.920 for conservatives.

00:29:22.540 Very positive

00:29:23.520 for conservatives.

00:29:24.800 Because what

00:29:25.320 are you most

00:29:25.900 worried about?

00:29:27.060 If you're a 0.88

00:29:27.840 conservative or

00:29:28.560 Republican, you're

00:29:30.260 most worried that

00:29:31.560 the other side is

00:29:32.440 not hearing the

00:29:33.040 story.

00:29:34.020 Because you

00:29:34.540 hear what the

00:29:35.320 mainstream media

00:29:36.160 says, you if

00:29:37.140 you're conservative,

00:29:38.060 and then you also

00:29:38.800 hear what

00:29:39.200 conservatives say,

00:29:40.020 so you're seeing

00:29:40.420 a well-rounded

00:29:41.100 picture.

00:29:42.660 I talk about a

00:29:44.140 phrase that I've

00:29:44.680 been using, the

00:29:45.260 poorly educated.

00:29:46.840 The poorly

00:29:47.360 educated, by my

00:29:48.400 definition, just

00:29:49.180 for fun, is

00:29:50.220 anybody who's

00:29:50.840 just in one

00:29:51.500 silo of news,

00:29:53.040 either the

00:29:53.520 left only, or

00:29:55.540 they only see the

00:29:56.380 news on the

00:29:56.900 right.

00:29:57.620 There's less of a

00:29:58.540 silo there, because

00:29:59.420 again, the left

00:30:00.920 news is more

00:30:01.660 ubiquitous.

00:30:02.160 You see it

00:30:02.820 everywhere.

00:30:04.120 So, I would

00:30:06.740 say that that

00:30:07.480 at least shows

00:30:09.360 the intention of

00:30:11.820 moving in the

00:30:12.960 right direction, of

00:30:14.020 showing both

00:30:14.520 sides.

00:30:15.160 Now, the

00:30:15.560 current

00:30:16.040 implementation

00:30:17.000 doesn't do

00:30:17.620 that, does

00:30:18.060 it?

00:30:18.180 So, it feels

00:30:21.820 like this is a

00:30:22.940 process that's

00:30:24.860 being worked

00:30:25.380 out in

00:30:25.960 Twitter.

00:30:26.280 In other

00:30:26.520 words, they

00:30:26.860 don't have a

00:30:27.380 final answer.

00:30:28.740 They're A-B

00:30:29.180 testing, they're

00:30:30.120 putting stuff

00:30:30.580 out, you'll

00:30:31.440 probably see a

00:30:32.040 few new

00:30:32.420 looks.

00:30:33.320 I wouldn't be

00:30:33.960 surprised if you

00:30:34.780 see three or

00:30:35.380 four looks in

00:30:36.760 the coming year,

00:30:37.900 just to make

00:30:38.560 sure that you

00:30:39.160 are highlighting

00:30:40.000 things fairly.

00:30:40.900 So, I would

00:30:43.400 first of all, give

00:30:45.140 them a little

00:30:46.160 flexibility.

00:30:47.220 I think you

00:30:47.640 should allow

00:30:48.080 them some

00:30:48.540 flexibility to

00:30:50.200 work through

00:30:50.720 this, because

00:30:52.620 it's pretty clear

00:30:53.440 they're hearing

00:30:53.920 the complaints.

00:30:55.840 I don't think

00:30:56.740 there's any, I

00:30:58.640 think I can say

00:30:59.360 with complete

00:30:59.980 confidence, there's

00:31:01.840 no chance that

00:31:03.020 Twitter and Jack

00:31:04.280 in particular are

00:31:05.200 not hearing very

00:31:07.480 clearly what the

00:31:09.760 issues are.

00:31:11.100 And it's also

00:31:11.960 true that they're

00:31:12.600 clearly trying to

00:31:13.380 work through them

00:31:14.080 in a way that

00:31:15.140 will make most

00:31:16.320 people happy,

00:31:17.100 because that's

00:31:17.640 their business

00:31:18.080 model.

00:31:18.720 They don't

00:31:19.120 really have a

00:31:19.640 business if

00:31:20.360 they're only

00:31:20.860 catering to

00:31:21.780 half of the

00:31:22.400 country.

00:31:23.140 So clearly he

00:31:23.920 wants everybody

00:31:24.540 to use Twitter,

00:31:25.420 and that's,

00:31:26.380 duh.

00:31:27.240 So, I would

00:31:29.220 give them a

00:31:29.540 little time to

00:31:30.880 work through

00:31:31.220 this, which is

00:31:32.620 not to say that

00:31:33.340 you should take

00:31:33.960 the pressure off,

00:31:35.360 at least the

00:31:35.940 social news,

00:31:37.480 related pressure

00:31:38.700 of what you

00:31:39.200 would like to

00:31:39.620 see done.

00:31:40.600 So I think

00:31:40.980 the pressure

00:31:41.460 is constructive.

00:31:45.600 Friction is

00:31:46.300 often constructive,

00:31:47.320 and I think

00:31:47.580 this is very

00:31:48.160 much a

00:31:49.060 constructive

00:31:49.640 friction situation.

00:31:51.600 So if you

00:31:51.960 can step back

00:31:52.620 from the

00:31:53.300 carnage for

00:31:53.940 a moment and

00:31:54.500 just sort of

00:31:54.920 look at it

00:31:55.360 from 30,000

00:31:56.180 feet, there's

00:31:57.280 something pretty

00:31:57.800 good happening.

00:31:59.680 Or potentially.

00:32:01.400 Potentially there's

00:32:02.160 something really

00:32:02.660 good happening,

00:32:03.760 but you need a

00:32:04.560 little distance from

00:32:05.340 it to be able

00:32:05.760 to see it.

00:32:06.320 All right.

00:32:08.100 Here's the

00:32:08.700 good part.

00:32:09.920 So far, if I've

00:32:11.100 done this

00:32:11.480 correctly, most

00:32:13.180 of you are mad

00:32:13.960 at me right

00:32:14.460 now.

00:32:15.260 Have I done

00:32:15.720 that correctly?

00:32:16.680 A lot of you

00:32:17.440 should be a

00:32:17.880 little bit mad

00:32:18.800 because you're

00:32:20.200 not quite

00:32:20.680 buying what

00:32:22.420 I'm saying.

00:32:23.580 But here's

00:32:24.140 the punchline.

00:32:25.920 Here's the

00:32:26.340 kicker.

00:32:28.360 Jack goes on

00:32:29.240 with his third

00:32:29.860 tweet, and he

00:32:30.320 says,

00:32:30.520 per civic

00:32:31.280 integrity

00:32:31.880 policy, which

00:32:33.260 is an

00:32:33.500 actual published

00:32:34.900 policy, the

00:32:36.260 tweets yesterday,

00:32:37.200 and he's talking

00:32:37.620 about the

00:32:37.960 president's tweets

00:32:38.680 about mail-in

00:32:39.760 ballots, the

00:32:40.820 tweets yesterday

00:32:41.400 may mislead

00:32:42.200 people into

00:32:42.780 thinking they

00:32:43.400 don't need to

00:32:44.000 register to

00:32:45.520 get a ballot.

00:32:47.180 And then

00:32:47.520 parenthetically

00:32:48.160 he says, only

00:32:48.800 registered voters

00:32:49.880 receive ballots.

00:32:51.380 And we're

00:32:51.960 updating the

00:32:52.580 link on that

00:32:53.160 to clarify

00:32:54.120 that.

00:32:55.100 To which I

00:32:56.000 say, what?

00:32:57.780 Because isn't

00:33:02.120 this completely

00:33:02.820 different than

00:33:03.400 what you thought

00:33:03.920 it was?

00:33:05.200 Did you not

00:33:06.060 think that

00:33:07.200 this was the

00:33:07.880 beginning of

00:33:08.640 Twitter, hold

00:33:10.200 on, did you

00:33:11.560 not think that

00:33:12.960 this whole mail-in

00:33:14.560 ballot fact-checking

00:33:15.660 thing was the

00:33:16.320 beginning of

00:33:16.980 Twitter fact-checking

00:33:19.500 opinion?

00:33:21.140 You did, didn't

00:33:21.860 you?

00:33:22.480 You thought that

00:33:23.140 they were going

00:33:23.460 to start fact-checking

00:33:24.620 just ordinary

00:33:25.780 political opinion.

00:33:26.760 And then

00:33:27.760 you say to

00:33:28.160 yourself, well,

00:33:29.620 how come they

00:33:30.220 haven't fact-checked

00:33:31.280 the fine people

00:33:32.020 hoax?

00:33:32.960 How come they

00:33:33.560 haven't fact-checked

00:33:34.680 the Joe Scarborough

00:33:35.920 thing?

00:33:36.440 Why'd they let

00:33:36.960 that go?

00:33:37.620 The other side

00:33:38.360 says.

00:33:39.140 Why not fact-check

00:33:40.260 this and that?

00:33:41.280 And you're

00:33:41.660 confused, right?

00:33:42.780 Aren't you

00:33:43.120 confused?

00:33:44.560 Because there are

00:33:45.460 all these things

00:33:46.080 that could be

00:33:46.540 fact-checked, but

00:33:47.840 why did they

00:33:48.280 pick this one

00:33:48.920 thing?

00:33:50.020 And the answer

00:33:50.580 is, Jack

00:33:51.860 told you.

00:33:53.200 He picked the 0.61

00:33:54.040 one thing because

00:33:54.820 it's a special

00:33:55.500 case.

00:33:56.040 the special

00:33:57.360 case is saying

00:33:59.100 something that

00:33:59.660 would reduce

00:34:00.340 voter turnout.

00:34:03.300 Is this the

00:34:04.240 first time you're

00:34:04.900 hearing that?

00:34:06.260 Probably is,

00:34:07.180 right?

00:34:07.360 Are you

00:34:09.340 against social

00:34:11.080 media calling

00:34:12.880 out something that

00:34:14.120 would give people

00:34:14.840 misinformation that

00:34:17.160 would cause fewer

00:34:17.980 people to vote?

00:34:20.020 No, you're not.

00:34:20.900 You are not

00:34:21.960 against that.

00:34:23.300 You are not

00:34:23.940 opposed to

00:34:26.120 social media

00:34:27.000 correcting

00:34:28.260 misinformation

00:34:29.000 with the

00:34:31.080 purpose of

00:34:31.900 increasing

00:34:32.440 turnout.

00:34:36.280 Hold on.

00:34:37.600 Now, I believe

00:34:38.180 there was one

00:34:38.700 other thing that

00:34:39.320 got fact-checked

00:34:41.200 by Twitter.

00:34:41.980 Maybe you need

00:34:42.440 to fact-check me

00:34:43.240 on this.

00:34:43.560 But you saw

00:34:44.740 the picture of

00:34:45.340 the police

00:34:45.920 officer who

00:34:47.640 looks like he

00:34:49.280 murdered a guy

00:34:49.960 in Minnesota.

00:34:52.300 And then there

00:34:53.000 was a fake

00:34:53.700 news that there

00:34:54.500 was a picture of

00:34:55.100 him wearing a

00:34:55.860 Make America

00:34:56.520 Great Again

00:34:57.060 hat.

00:34:57.900 I think Twitter

00:34:58.820 also called out

00:34:59.980 that as a

00:35:00.820 fake picture.

00:35:02.700 Now, look at

00:35:03.720 the two things

00:35:04.640 that, and I

00:35:06.820 need to fact-check

00:35:07.440 on that, but

00:35:07.960 look at the two

00:35:08.440 things that Twitter

00:35:09.760 has identified.

00:35:10.840 and see if

00:35:13.060 you can find

00:35:13.460 the pattern.

00:35:14.540 They've identified

00:35:15.460 a statement

00:35:17.060 from the

00:35:17.820 president that

00:35:19.360 could cause

00:35:20.020 people not to

00:35:20.820 register to

00:35:21.500 vote, because

00:35:22.600 the specific

00:35:23.240 problem was

00:35:23.880 the president

00:35:24.400 suggested that

00:35:25.700 everybody would

00:35:26.380 get a mail-in

00:35:27.040 ballot no matter

00:35:27.960 what.

00:35:29.080 The problem

00:35:29.780 is, if you

00:35:30.700 believe that,

00:35:31.680 you might not

00:35:32.300 register to

00:35:33.040 vote, and that

00:35:34.200 would decrease

00:35:34.900 the number of

00:35:35.500 people voting.

00:35:36.660 Would it

00:35:37.120 decrease the

00:35:37.800 number of

00:35:38.500 only Democrats

00:35:39.580 voting?

00:35:39.920 Nope.

00:35:41.880 Would it

00:35:42.260 decrease the

00:35:42.920 number of

00:35:43.740 Democrats and

00:35:45.520 Republicans

00:35:46.040 voting?

00:35:47.240 Yeah.

00:35:48.640 Yeah, that's

00:35:49.560 the whole

00:35:49.840 problem.

00:35:50.860 The whole

00:35:51.220 problem is,

00:35:52.000 it has nothing

00:35:53.040 to do with

00:35:53.480 politics.

00:35:54.640 The whole

00:35:55.140 problem is,

00:35:56.080 it's a fact

00:35:56.920 that was

00:35:58.100 wrong.

00:35:59.160 And if you

00:35:59.600 believe that

00:36:00.240 wrong fact,

00:36:01.480 you might not

00:36:02.380 register to

00:36:03.060 vote.

00:36:04.420 So, you

00:36:06.140 might hate

00:36:06.640 this, but

00:36:08.300 I'm 100% in

00:36:09.540 favor of

00:36:10.060 Twitter's

00:36:10.600 reaction on

00:36:11.720 this, calling

00:36:12.680 it fake.

00:36:16.220 I'm going to

00:36:16.860 back Twitter

00:36:17.300 on this, because

00:36:18.660 no matter what

00:36:19.640 this source is,

00:36:20.540 whether it

00:36:20.940 comes from the

00:36:21.480 President of the

00:36:22.000 United States,

00:36:22.960 or it comes

00:36:23.740 from Joe

00:36:24.620 Biden, or

00:36:25.820 anyone else,

00:36:27.240 if anyone

00:36:28.160 publishes

00:36:28.760 something on

00:36:29.240 social media

00:36:29.980 that is wrong

00:36:31.460 information that

00:36:32.260 would cause

00:36:32.640 somebody not to

00:36:33.400 register or not

00:36:34.180 to vote,

00:36:35.460 yeah, yeah, I'm

00:36:37.060 completely in favor of

00:36:38.060 calling that out.

00:36:39.180 Is there anybody

00:36:39.720 here who's not in

00:36:40.480 favor of that?

00:36:42.380 Let's say,

00:36:43.120 hypothetically, it

00:36:43.860 was the only

00:36:44.240 thing.

00:36:45.320 If it's the only

00:36:46.260 thing that got

00:36:46.800 called out, would

00:36:47.340 you be in favor

00:36:47.900 of that?

00:36:48.860 I think you

00:36:49.420 would.

00:36:50.780 Because somebody

00:36:51.740 says it's a

00:36:52.320 flimsy excuse,

00:36:53.460 you're going to

00:36:53.940 have to do

00:36:54.360 better.

00:36:55.560 You're going to

00:36:56.040 have to do

00:36:56.440 better in your

00:36:56.980 counter-argument.

00:36:57.800 If all you're

00:36:58.340 saying is, I

00:36:59.320 don't believe it,

00:37:00.340 it's a flimsy

00:37:01.220 excuse, it's not

00:37:02.660 good enough, well,

00:37:03.900 you're going to

00:37:04.140 have to explain why

00:37:05.240 Jack pointed to a

00:37:06.680 previously written

00:37:07.700 document that

00:37:09.000 completely supports

00:37:10.000 what they did.

00:37:12.340 I think the

00:37:14.280 news has

00:37:15.000 completely botched

00:37:16.080 it, both on the

00:37:17.060 left and the

00:37:17.580 right.

00:37:18.620 The news should

00:37:19.980 be that Twitter

00:37:21.600 is trying a new

00:37:22.500 process and it's

00:37:23.460 not working right.

00:37:25.200 If you ask

00:37:26.120 Twitter, hey, did

00:37:27.440 that first fact

00:37:28.260 check work just

00:37:29.020 the way you

00:37:29.460 wanted it to?

00:37:30.480 What do you

00:37:30.820 think they would

00:37:31.240 say?

00:37:31.980 I think they'd

00:37:32.820 say it didn't

00:37:33.220 work.

00:37:34.520 I think.

00:37:35.320 don't you

00:37:36.540 think so?

00:37:37.500 I think they

00:37:38.200 would say it

00:37:38.680 didn't work.

00:37:39.760 We're trying to

00:37:40.300 fix it.

00:37:41.380 Now, remember, my

00:37:43.060 standard for judging

00:37:44.420 people is always the 0.85

00:37:45.800 same.

00:37:46.580 It's not about if

00:37:48.000 they made a mistake

00:37:49.060 because that's all

00:37:49.860 of us.

00:37:50.620 We're all making

00:37:51.380 mistakes all the

00:37:52.140 time.

00:37:52.760 But you can judge

00:37:53.920 people by how

00:37:55.640 they respond.

00:37:57.260 So we don't know

00:37:58.440 the full response

00:37:59.300 because this is a

00:38:00.060 process.

00:38:01.260 But the initial

00:38:02.220 response is to

00:38:03.400 change the label

00:38:05.520 on it so it's

00:38:06.600 more specific that

00:38:08.220 the only thing

00:38:08.840 they're calling

00:38:09.340 out is that

00:38:11.000 fact about you

00:38:12.840 should register

00:38:13.620 or you're not

00:38:14.160 going to get a

00:38:14.620 mail-in ballot.

00:38:16.420 If they clarify

00:38:17.420 that as their

00:38:18.100 only problem, I'm

00:38:20.240 not too bad with

00:38:21.200 that.

00:38:21.940 I'm not too bad

00:38:23.000 with that.

00:38:24.900 I think there's

00:38:25.740 room to go.

00:38:26.820 They still need to

00:38:27.400 put counterarguments

00:38:28.180 and stuff.

00:38:29.000 But here's the

00:38:29.580 thing.

00:38:29.880 The way it's

00:38:30.380 being reported is

00:38:31.680 that Twitter was

00:38:36.840 complaining about

00:38:38.000 the president's

00:38:38.980 statement that

00:38:40.100 mail-in ballots

00:38:41.020 have an opportunity

00:38:42.380 for fraud.

00:38:43.920 That's what you

00:38:44.440 thought the news

00:38:45.940 was, that Twitter

00:38:47.840 fact-checked the

00:38:50.000 president saying

00:38:50.760 that mail-in ballots

00:38:51.800 cause fraud.

00:38:53.600 And that didn't

00:38:54.320 happen.

00:38:55.700 That actually just

00:38:56.340 didn't happen.

00:38:57.480 It was reported

00:38:58.200 that way on both

00:38:59.140 the left and the

00:38:59.800 right, which I

00:39:01.040 usually tell you

00:39:01.760 means it's true.

00:39:03.320 But once you

00:39:04.400 see Jack's

00:39:05.060 explanation, you

00:39:06.260 say, oh, that's

00:39:08.100 actually a pretty

00:39:08.800 clear standard.

00:39:09.960 If the standard

00:39:10.860 makes people less

00:39:11.940 likely to know

00:39:13.300 how to vote, the

00:39:14.540 process, yeah, I'm

00:39:16.600 okay with that.

00:39:17.960 Now, what about

00:39:18.800 the photograph?

00:39:19.900 So the other one

00:39:20.640 was a photograph of

00:39:21.920 the wrong person,

00:39:23.120 which is pretty

00:39:24.220 dangerous.

00:39:25.840 I mean, that

00:39:26.180 photograph of the

00:39:27.120 wrong person wearing

00:39:28.080 a MAGA hat, do you,

00:39:30.240 as many of you are

00:39:32.360 conservatives, many of

00:39:33.320 you are Trump

00:39:33.800 supporters, did you

00:39:35.940 want that photo to

00:39:37.880 stay on Twitter

00:39:38.680 without a fact-check?

00:39:40.360 Because that's not

00:39:41.160 good for you, right?

00:39:43.000 If you've ever put on

00:39:43.980 a MAGA hat, you don't

00:39:45.360 want to see the guy

00:39:46.100 who just murdered a

00:39:46.980 black guy, you know,

00:39:48.960 incorrectly being

00:39:49.880 labeled as somebody

00:39:50.920 who wears a MAGA

00:39:51.640 hat.

00:39:52.420 You don't want that.

00:39:53.480 Now, what do the

00:39:55.480 photograph and the

00:39:58.240 voting registration

00:40:00.060 thing have in

00:40:00.880 common?

00:40:01.600 They do have

00:40:02.320 something in

00:40:02.840 common.

00:40:03.820 And what they have

00:40:04.460 in common is those

00:40:05.400 are really basic,

00:40:06.380 just facts.

00:40:07.940 And they're not

00:40:09.480 opinions.

00:40:11.280 What is the Joe

00:40:12.200 Scarborough murdered

00:40:13.360 somebody?

00:40:14.840 Speculation and

00:40:17.020 opinion.

00:40:18.380 Did they stop the

00:40:19.640 speculation or the

00:40:20.700 opinion?

00:40:21.080 They did not.

00:40:21.640 They did not.

00:40:23.320 If you look at the

00:40:24.420 full breadth of

00:40:25.740 political thought,

00:40:27.960 have they tried to

00:40:28.960 fact-check the

00:40:29.740 fine people hoax?

00:40:31.440 They have not.

00:40:32.760 Because that's sort

00:40:33.540 of an interpretation,

00:40:35.860 even though you

00:40:36.760 could point to the

00:40:37.760 transcript and show

00:40:39.040 that it's a wrong

00:40:40.080 interpretation.

00:40:41.200 But that's sort of

00:40:41.940 an interpretation.

00:40:43.980 It looks to be,

00:40:45.760 and I don't know

00:40:46.400 this yet, but it

00:40:48.100 looks to be that

00:40:48.780 where they're heading

00:40:49.520 is that they're not

00:40:50.960 going to fact-check

00:40:51.620 fact-check interpretations

00:40:53.660 no matter how

00:40:54.720 obviously wrong they

00:40:55.780 are.

00:40:56.500 It does look like

00:40:58.160 they're going to

00:40:58.700 fact-check facts,

00:41:00.480 but also maybe

00:41:02.760 show you some,

00:41:03.600 you know,

00:41:03.800 both sides so you

00:41:04.620 can decide whether

00:41:05.380 the fact is a fact.

00:41:06.660 Now, the photograph

00:41:07.580 was just a fact

00:41:08.760 that was wrong.

00:41:10.220 The information

00:41:11.360 about the registration

00:41:13.260 is a fact that

00:41:14.580 was wrong.

00:41:15.420 Here's the other

00:41:16.060 thing that both of

00:41:16.800 them have in common.

00:41:18.760 Neither the left

00:41:19.900 nor the right

00:41:20.820 would disagree

00:41:21.720 with what I just

00:41:22.620 said.

00:41:23.720 Nobody on the left

00:41:24.720 or the right

00:41:25.260 thinks that that

00:41:26.040 photograph was

00:41:26.840 the right guy,

00:41:28.100 now, I mean,

00:41:28.960 now that we know.

00:41:29.940 And nobody on the

00:41:31.020 left or the right

00:41:31.820 thinks that we

00:41:35.560 should have bad

00:41:36.260 information about

00:41:37.100 how you register

00:41:37.960 to vote.

00:41:38.680 There's nobody on

00:41:39.580 the other side.

00:41:40.200 If the only thing

00:41:42.860 that Twitter fact

00:41:43.800 checks are facts

00:41:46.100 for which nobody's

00:41:48.580 on the other

00:41:49.060 side, are you

00:41:51.060 going to have a

00:41:51.420 problem with

00:41:51.780 that?

00:41:53.380 Now, obviously,

00:41:54.600 they blew the

00:41:55.260 first iteration.

00:41:58.680 But if you've

00:42:00.220 had any experience

00:42:01.160 with interfaces

00:42:02.280 or building

00:42:03.160 software or

00:42:04.260 trying to build

00:42:05.320 a product for

00:42:06.080 the public,

00:42:07.360 how unusual is

00:42:08.960 it that you're

00:42:10.000 first version

00:42:10.760 doesn't work.

00:42:11.780 It's pretty

00:42:12.300 common.

00:42:14.020 So I'd give

00:42:15.140 them a little

00:42:15.540 time to work

00:42:16.260 this out.

00:42:18.080 Now, will

00:42:18.940 anybody let go

00:42:19.940 of this?

00:42:20.280 No, I don't

00:42:20.660 expect the

00:42:21.200 president or

00:42:21.820 anybody else to

00:42:22.620 let go of it

00:42:23.540 because it's

00:42:24.340 such a good

00:42:24.900 political season

00:42:26.280 thing to do.

00:42:28.480 Now, if you

00:42:29.800 wanted to say

00:42:32.040 that social media

00:42:33.200 is doing bad

00:42:35.040 things to you

00:42:35.620 and you don't

00:42:36.060 want it to

00:42:36.460 happen, you

00:42:37.380 should definitely

00:42:37.880 look at the

00:42:38.520 following and

00:42:39.180 unfollowing

00:42:39.720 problem.

00:42:40.620 Because the

00:42:41.200 problem of

00:42:41.760 being automatically

00:42:42.620 unfollowed, that

00:42:44.440 is 100%

00:42:45.180 happening.

00:42:46.960 There's

00:42:47.440 any chance in

00:42:48.260 the world that

00:42:49.660 people aren't

00:42:50.200 being automatically

00:42:51.000 unfollowed.

00:42:52.160 I just don't

00:42:52.780 know if anybody

00:42:53.260 knows why.

00:42:54.540 But that's

00:42:54.940 real.

00:42:55.880 I mean, that

00:42:56.200 part's absolutely

00:42:56.980 real.

00:42:58.020 So we should

00:42:58.940 be pushing on

00:42:59.620 that, not on

00:43:00.920 fact-checking

00:43:02.220 facts for which

00:43:03.100 both the left

00:43:03.760 and the right

00:43:04.220 agree is not

00:43:04.940 facts.

00:43:05.320 if they push

00:43:06.760 it into the

00:43:07.280 opinion, well

00:43:09.100 then, now

00:43:10.400 we've got a

00:43:10.860 real problem.

00:43:12.400 If you see

00:43:14.300 Twitter fact-checking

00:43:16.480 hyperbole,

00:43:18.360 speculation,

00:43:19.920 opinion, or

00:43:20.720 even really

00:43:21.220 outright obvious

00:43:22.960 lies, as long

00:43:24.340 as they're obvious

00:43:24.960 lies, I don't

00:43:26.380 think they need

00:43:26.820 to fact-check

00:43:27.320 that stuff.

00:43:28.400 I think they

00:43:28.860 should be out

00:43:29.260 of that business

00:43:29.820 because then

00:43:30.680 they would be

00:43:31.180 arbiters of

00:43:32.060 truth.

00:43:33.900 Now let's

00:43:34.580 look at this

00:43:35.340 one statement.

00:43:36.240 Jack says,

00:43:37.060 this does not

00:43:37.760 make us

00:43:38.200 arbiters of

00:43:39.240 truth.

00:43:40.520 Are they an

00:43:41.440 arbiter of

00:43:42.160 truth to

00:43:43.620 tell you that

00:43:44.360 you have to

00:43:45.280 be registered

00:43:45.920 to get a

00:43:46.720 mail-in vote?

00:43:47.380 No.

00:43:47.980 They're not

00:43:48.380 arbiters.

00:43:49.540 They just

00:43:49.880 pass the law.

00:43:51.340 They're not

00:43:51.740 arbitering

00:43:52.300 anything.

00:43:53.020 Nobody even

00:43:53.500 disagrees with

00:43:54.120 that.

00:43:54.880 Are they

00:43:55.280 arbiters of

00:43:56.080 truth about

00:43:56.620 whether that

00:43:57.060 photograph of

00:43:57.740 the guy in

00:43:58.080 the hat is

00:43:58.600 true or not

00:43:59.380 true?

00:44:00.100 No.

00:44:01.020 They're not

00:44:01.400 arbiting

00:44:01.960 anything.

00:44:03.880 That's not a

00:44:04.360 word, but you

00:44:04.840 know what I

00:44:05.100 mean.

00:44:05.880 They're just

00:44:06.520 telling you

00:44:06.980 what both

00:44:08.040 sides agree.

00:44:08.700 It's not

00:44:09.040 the person.

00:44:10.280 That's it.

00:44:11.720 So, most

00:44:13.460 of our news

00:44:13.940 today is

00:44:14.840 fake, as

00:44:16.360 you can see.

00:44:18.640 And,

00:44:19.040 all right,

00:44:22.320 that's enough

00:44:22.840 on that story.

00:44:24.660 Joe Biden

00:44:25.520 is being

00:44:26.200 mocked for,

00:44:28.740 he made

00:44:29.140 some comment

00:44:29.980 about Delaware

00:44:30.800 declaring its

00:44:31.800 independence

00:44:32.320 as a state,

00:44:33.880 I guess,

00:44:34.240 on December

00:44:34.900 7th.

00:44:36.080 And they

00:44:36.700 said,

00:44:37.100 it isn't

00:44:37.980 just D-Day.

00:44:39.840 And apparently,

00:44:42.180 December 7th,

00:44:43.980 he was confusing

00:44:44.640 with Pearl

00:44:45.440 Harbor Day,

00:44:46.660 and it's not

00:44:47.900 the day that

00:44:48.480 Delaware was

00:44:49.320 independent

00:44:49.900 either.

00:44:51.480 So, just the

00:44:52.300 whole thing was

00:44:52.880 confusing.

00:44:54.480 But, sure,

00:44:55.960 Joe Biden's

00:44:56.560 your guy.

00:44:57.540 So, you want

00:44:58.160 some more fake

00:44:58.780 news?

00:44:59.120 Here's some

00:44:59.620 more fake

00:45:00.020 news.

00:45:01.620 Democrats

00:45:02.060 want Joe

00:45:04.620 Biden to

00:45:05.100 be their

00:45:05.480 leader.

00:45:06.920 You don't

00:45:07.480 believe that,

00:45:08.000 do you?

00:45:10.840 Trump said

00:45:11.560 grabbing women 0.80

00:45:12.320 by the

00:45:12.800 blah-blah-blah, 0.95

00:45:13.640 they let you

00:45:14.340 do it.

00:45:14.740 Is it

00:45:14.980 fact or

00:45:15.600 opinion?

00:45:19.800 What?

00:45:20.520 I mean,

00:45:21.000 it's fact that

00:45:21.560 he said it.

00:45:22.900 I don't

00:45:23.460 understand the

00:45:24.040 question.

00:45:24.300 doesn't it

00:45:31.200 feel like

00:45:31.580 progress

00:45:32.220 that our

00:45:33.700 biggest race

00:45:34.380 problem

00:45:34.880 in 2020,

00:45:37.520 if you had

00:45:38.240 to say,

00:45:38.620 what was the

00:45:39.060 biggest racial

00:45:40.700 issue in

00:45:41.880 2020?

00:45:42.720 We had a

00:45:43.340 bunch of

00:45:43.720 them.

00:45:44.140 Everything

00:45:44.500 from Governor

00:45:46.120 Northerman

00:45:46.660 blackface to 0.70

00:45:48.000 Jussie Smollett.

00:45:49.640 there's always

00:45:51.540 lots of

00:45:52.000 them.

00:45:52.540 But I

00:45:52.780 would say

00:45:53.060 the biggest

00:45:53.860 one is

00:45:54.360 maybe this

00:45:54.860 one.

00:45:55.920 Because you

00:45:56.420 got your

00:45:56.780 riots,

00:45:57.460 it's closer

00:45:58.140 to elections,

00:45:59.080 so everything's

00:46:00.040 accentuated.

00:46:01.840 But is it

00:46:03.640 not incredibly

00:46:04.600 good news

00:46:05.340 that our

00:46:05.980 biggest race

00:46:06.920 problem actually

00:46:07.900 has everybody

00:46:08.540 on the same

00:46:09.040 side?

00:46:09.360 is it

00:46:11.300 really a

00:46:11.640 race

00:46:11.840 problem if

00:46:12.420 everybody

00:46:12.760 agrees?

00:46:14.200 Like I

00:46:14.860 said before,

00:46:15.920 it's kind

00:46:16.180 of good,

00:46:17.060 it's sort

00:46:19.080 of a good

00:46:19.740 sign.

00:46:21.880 Mike

00:46:22.380 Cernovich has

00:46:23.140 been calling

00:46:23.660 out that

00:46:25.500 when we see

00:46:25.940 the pictures

00:46:26.460 of the

00:46:27.580 rioters,

00:46:29.020 it's being

00:46:29.580 sort of

00:46:30.280 cast as

00:46:31.500 Black Lives

00:46:32.180 Matter are 1.00

00:46:33.440 causing all

00:46:34.260 the problems.

00:46:35.360 But it

00:46:35.620 looks like

00:46:35.940 it's Antifa.

00:46:37.220 It looks

00:46:37.880 like Antifa

00:46:38.600 might be

00:46:39.100 causing the

00:46:39.620 problems and

00:46:40.780 Black Lives

00:46:41.320 Matter might

00:46:42.440 be getting a

00:46:42.980 little bit

00:46:43.320 framed,

00:46:44.340 might be

00:46:44.740 getting a

00:46:45.100 little bit

00:46:45.420 framed by

00:46:46.260 Antifa.

00:46:49.300 And just

00:46:50.340 from what I

00:46:50.920 can see from

00:46:51.680 the videos,

00:46:53.180 there is

00:46:53.920 something to

00:46:54.480 that claim.

00:46:55.800 Now I

00:46:56.080 don't know if

00:46:56.360 the framing

00:46:56.840 is some

00:46:57.560 kind of

00:46:57.820 intentional

00:46:58.300 act or

00:46:58.940 it's just

00:46:59.260 happening,

00:47:00.260 but I

00:47:00.800 think the

00:47:01.240 way the

00:47:02.260 media is

00:47:02.860 covering it,

00:47:04.900 they seem

00:47:05.880 to be

00:47:06.180 covering for

00:47:06.920 Antifa as

00:47:08.200 if they're

00:47:08.520 not even

00:47:08.920 there and

00:47:10.440 they seem

00:47:10.780 to be

00:47:11.120 emphasizing the

00:47:12.020 racial part,

00:47:13.100 which is

00:47:13.740 completely

00:47:14.160 fake.

00:47:15.920 It's not

00:47:16.640 fake that

00:47:17.080 people are

00:47:17.460 mad at the

00:47:17.920 police in

00:47:18.520 Minnesota,

00:47:19.080 that part's

00:47:19.500 real, but

00:47:20.460 to think that

00:47:21.580 that's a

00:47:22.300 racial problem,

00:47:23.440 that's just a

00:47:24.140 media invention.

00:47:25.980 All right,

00:47:26.480 so that's

00:47:29.960 my key to

00:47:32.080 you, if

00:47:32.860 you want,

00:47:33.680 you got my

00:47:34.600 blood pressure

00:47:35.140 up this

00:47:35.540 morning.

00:47:35.800 which part?

00:47:38.660 All right,

00:47:39.340 so I

00:47:39.680 gave you a

00:47:41.600 lot of

00:47:41.880 stuff this

00:47:42.360 morning.

00:47:42.820 I want to

00:47:43.180 see

00:47:43.520 which parts

00:47:49.120 of this

00:47:49.520 got you

00:47:50.000 most worked

00:47:50.660 up.

00:47:52.960 Because I

00:47:53.920 think

00:47:54.200 it's always

00:47:58.920 hard to

00:47:59.400 find out

00:47:59.800 that everything

00:48:00.400 you thought

00:48:00.860 about the

00:48:01.240 news is

00:48:02.000 wrong.

00:48:02.380 it's just

00:48:03.220 one of

00:48:03.500 those days

00:48:03.960 where pretty

00:48:04.880 much all

00:48:05.320 the big

00:48:05.640 stories are

00:48:06.180 just fake.

00:48:11.240 The home

00:48:12.000 corporation of

00:48:12.860 Target is

00:48:13.440 getting pummeled.

00:48:14.500 Where is the

00:48:14.980 home corporation?

00:48:19.880 The other

00:48:20.500 side won't

00:48:20.980 take yes for

00:48:21.620 an answer.

00:48:22.100 That's exactly

00:48:22.680 what's happening.

00:48:23.560 Yeah, they

00:48:23.960 won't take yes

00:48:24.540 for an answer.

00:48:26.500 Somebody said

00:48:27.220 this is why

00:48:27.740 Kaepernick took

00:48:28.620 a knee and

00:48:29.300 you all

00:48:29.840 condemned that.

00:48:30.720 No, nope.

00:48:33.640 Whoever just

00:48:34.200 said that.

00:48:35.120 So they're

00:48:35.480 saying this is

00:48:36.820 why Kaepernick

00:48:37.640 took a knee

00:48:38.340 and we all

00:48:39.320 condemned it.

00:48:40.640 I am prepared

00:48:41.920 to believe that

00:48:43.060 but that's not

00:48:44.820 in evidence.

00:48:46.280 Because what's

00:48:47.120 not in evidence

00:48:47.900 is how many

00:48:48.840 white people

00:48:51.060 have been

00:48:51.580 killed by

00:48:52.360 police.

00:48:53.620 I think you'd

00:48:54.740 find that there

00:48:56.180 are more white

00:48:56.760 people getting

00:48:57.280 murdered by police

00:48:58.300 than black 0.96

00:48:59.120 even as a

00:48:59.820 percentage of

00:49:00.440 stops.

00:49:01.700 I think you'd

00:49:02.480 find that.

00:49:03.680 So if this

00:49:04.880 was a story

00:49:05.520 of oh there

00:49:06.320 it is again

00:49:06.940 only black

00:49:08.220 people are

00:49:08.720 killed by

00:49:09.180 police,

00:49:10.320 well I would

00:49:10.680 totally agree

00:49:11.240 with you.

00:49:12.220 In that case

00:49:12.960 I'd say

00:49:13.620 Kaepernick was

00:49:14.440 completely right,

00:49:16.180 should be

00:49:16.560 looked into.

00:49:17.420 Now from day

00:49:18.160 one I said

00:49:18.940 it's a big

00:49:20.620 issue and we

00:49:21.320 should look

00:49:21.660 into it and

00:49:22.140 take it

00:49:22.440 seriously.

00:49:22.960 So I've

00:49:23.260 always been

00:49:24.220 pro-Kaepernick

00:49:25.280 in terms of

00:49:26.720 surfacing the

00:49:27.780 issue.

00:49:28.020 the way he

00:49:29.740 did it you

00:49:30.240 could argue

00:49:30.680 blah blah 0.97

00:49:31.120 but in

00:49:32.140 terms of

00:49:32.600 surfacing an

00:49:33.300 issue that

00:49:33.720 is of great

00:49:34.220 concern to

00:49:34.900 a lot of

00:49:35.260 people he

00:49:36.120 did a good

00:49:36.500 job on it.

00:49:38.160 But the

00:49:39.280 part that's

00:49:39.700 missing is

00:49:40.900 that I'm

00:49:41.220 not sure

00:49:41.560 this is a

00:49:42.060 race problem.

00:49:43.760 It might

00:49:44.160 be.

00:49:45.380 I'd be open

00:49:46.140 to some data

00:49:46.900 that would

00:49:47.300 suggest that

00:49:47.960 is true but

00:49:49.120 it looks like

00:49:49.760 a police

00:49:50.360 training problem

00:49:51.560 on top of

00:49:53.080 maybe some

00:49:53.680 bad apples,

00:49:54.820 on top of

00:49:55.300 the media

00:49:55.700 likes to

00:49:56.240 spin it a

00:49:56.880 different way.

00:49:57.820 It looks like

00:49:58.480 a problem

00:49:58.860 for all of

00:49:59.420 us.

00:50:01.320 You missed

00:50:01.980 the hat?

00:50:03.960 You misread

00:50:04.940 the hat,

00:50:06.140 Scott.

00:50:07.340 I didn't

00:50:08.080 misread any

00:50:08.840 hats.

00:50:10.800 Maybe you

00:50:11.520 joined us

00:50:12.020 late but I

00:50:13.220 know what I

00:50:13.720 didn't do is

00:50:14.460 misread any

00:50:15.260 hats.

00:50:19.820 Somebody says

00:50:20.580 Scott is

00:50:21.000 wrong.

00:50:21.520 Twitter made

00:50:22.120 a new

00:50:22.500 excuse with

00:50:23.860 revising the

00:50:24.820 correction.

00:50:26.460 How do you

00:50:26.900 know?

00:50:27.500 Is that

00:50:27.840 based on

00:50:28.700 your mind

00:50:29.140 reading?

00:50:30.580 I think

00:50:31.360 it's

00:50:31.540 completely

00:50:32.920 fair to

00:50:33.580 suspect

00:50:34.080 things of

00:50:34.800 people.

00:50:36.060 But if

00:50:36.460 you're saying

00:50:36.920 I can

00:50:37.820 read Twitter's

00:50:38.700 minds and

00:50:39.920 what they

00:50:40.260 did was

00:50:40.900 they really

00:50:42.020 wanted to

00:50:42.620 just fact

00:50:43.120 check the

00:50:43.500 president in

00:50:44.120 general but

00:50:45.500 they're backing

00:50:46.980 up and

00:50:47.540 they're trying

00:50:48.300 to sell it

00:50:49.040 like they

00:50:49.460 really only

00:50:50.020 meant to

00:50:50.500 fact check

00:50:51.160 the fact.

00:50:52.080 you can't

00:50:55.120 rule it

00:50:55.500 in and

00:50:55.800 you can't

00:50:56.160 rule it

00:50:56.520 out because

00:50:57.620 you don't

00:50:57.980 know what

00:50:58.260 people are

00:50:58.760 privately

00:50:59.540 thinking but

00:51:01.000 is it

00:51:01.540 completely

00:51:02.380 consistent with

00:51:04.360 everything we

00:51:04.920 observe that

00:51:06.140 what they

00:51:06.540 intended was

00:51:07.860 to get rid

00:51:08.640 of that

00:51:08.860 just voting

00:51:09.420 fact that

00:51:10.200 may have

00:51:11.240 caused

00:51:11.460 people to

00:51:11.840 vote less.

00:51:13.220 Their story

00:51:13.980 is consistent

00:51:14.640 with observation.

00:51:15.920 That's the

00:51:16.240 only thing

00:51:16.500 you know.

00:51:17.600 You don't

00:51:17.920 know what

00:51:18.400 they're

00:51:18.560 thinking.

00:51:23.000 The way

00:51:23.660 he did it

00:51:24.280 was the

00:51:24.640 main reason

00:51:25.160 he got

00:51:25.540 the push

00:51:25.960 back.

00:51:28.120 You mean

00:51:28.860 are you

00:51:29.080 talking about

00:51:29.480 Jack?

00:51:31.100 I think

00:51:31.840 I feel as

00:51:33.300 if Twitter

00:51:34.060 would agree

00:51:35.620 with the

00:51:36.120 public

00:51:36.540 that the

00:51:38.060 first

00:51:38.480 attempt

00:51:41.020 to do

00:51:41.800 a fact

00:51:42.840 check

00:51:43.060 I think

00:51:43.400 they would

00:51:43.680 agree it

00:51:44.060 didn't

00:51:44.260 work.

00:51:45.700 So if

00:51:46.380 you're

00:51:47.020 arguing

00:51:47.400 hey Twitter

00:51:48.140 that didn't

00:51:48.660 work

00:51:49.080 well you're

00:51:50.380 just agreeing

00:51:50.840 with them.

00:51:52.240 They observed

00:51:53.000 the same

00:51:53.380 thing you

00:51:53.680 observed.

00:51:54.300 It didn't

00:51:54.580 work.

00:51:55.600 So it

00:51:55.900 looks like

00:51:56.220 they're

00:51:56.380 changing it.

00:51:57.340 So let

00:51:57.740 them change

00:51:58.140 it.

00:51:59.000 Give them

00:51:59.420 a little

00:51:59.940 bit of

00:52:00.220 space

00:52:00.620 because

00:52:01.680 they may

00:52:02.360 be heading

00:52:02.700 in the

00:52:02.960 right direction.

00:52:03.620 You'll have

00:52:03.840 plenty of

00:52:04.220 time to

00:52:04.520 complain.

00:52:07.440 The

00:52:07.600 dude's

00:52:08.020 hat said

00:52:08.460 make America

00:52:09.100 white again.

00:52:10.320 You

00:52:10.600 sound like

00:52:11.300 you are

00:52:11.620 in the

00:52:12.180 you have

00:52:15.360 a

00:52:15.680 you're

00:52:17.180 poorly

00:52:17.480 educated

00:52:18.020 if you

00:52:18.460 believe

00:52:18.820 that

00:52:19.100 that

00:52:19.360 was

00:52:19.520 the

00:52:19.720 policeman.

00:52:20.420 So let

00:52:21.120 me say

00:52:21.400 if anybody

00:52:21.880 joined

00:52:22.280 late

00:52:22.580 the photo

00:52:23.640 of the

00:52:24.080 policeman

00:52:24.500 wearing

00:52:25.060 a hat

00:52:25.680 with the

00:52:26.720 racist

00:52:27.000 thing on

00:52:27.640 it is

00:52:28.360 not the

00:52:28.840 same

00:52:29.060 person

00:52:29.380 as the

00:52:29.740 policeman.

00:52:30.600 It is

00:52:31.140 now known

00:52:31.880 beyond a

00:52:32.480 doubt

00:52:32.720 it's a

00:52:33.280 different

00:52:33.500 person

00:52:33.900 in that

00:52:34.380 picture.

00:52:35.340 We know

00:52:35.660 who the

00:52:35.960 other

00:52:36.140 person

00:52:36.460 is.

00:52:37.300 He

00:52:37.600 has a

00:52:37.880 long

00:52:38.080 history.

00:52:38.840 He's a

00:52:39.180 well-known

00:52:39.560 character.

00:52:40.720 It's not

00:52:41.240 him.

00:52:41.500 So if

00:52:43.320 you believe

00:52:44.340 that that

00:52:45.300 guy in

00:52:45.640 the hat

00:52:46.140 was the

00:52:47.040 police

00:52:47.320 officer

00:52:47.740 then you

00:52:49.400 are poorly

00:52:49.960 educated.

00:52:51.380 Now I

00:52:51.580 don't mean

00:52:51.880 in terms

00:52:52.220 of college

00:52:52.660 or school.

00:52:53.880 You're

00:52:54.060 poorly

00:52:54.360 educated

00:52:54.880 because it

00:52:55.360 means you've

00:52:55.760 only been

00:52:56.080 looking at

00:52:56.520 one side

00:52:57.340 of the

00:52:57.780 political

00:52:59.280 conversation.

00:53:00.580 If you

00:53:00.940 had looked

00:53:01.240 at both

00:53:01.600 sides

00:53:02.100 it's

00:53:03.800 very

00:53:04.280 available

00:53:04.760 information

00:53:05.380 that that's

00:53:05.920 a fake

00:53:06.240 picture.

00:53:06.800 It's

00:53:06.880 very

00:53:07.200 available.

00:53:08.600 So if

00:53:09.600 you didn't

00:53:09.940 know it

00:53:10.380 ask yourself

00:53:11.740 if you're

00:53:12.160 following the

00:53:12.680 right people

00:53:13.080 on social

00:53:13.540 media.

00:53:14.680 Ask yourself

00:53:15.240 if maybe

00:53:15.640 you should

00:53:15.960 sample the

00:53:16.480 other side

00:53:16.900 and see

00:53:17.140 what's

00:53:17.340 going on.

00:53:21.600 Trump

00:53:22.120 did not

00:53:22.520 say

00:53:22.760 registration

00:53:23.500 is not

00:53:24.240 needed.

00:53:25.000 That was

00:53:25.260 misinterpreted

00:53:26.280 by Jack.

00:53:27.860 I disagree

00:53:28.920 with your

00:53:29.360 statement

00:53:29.720 because the

00:53:31.160 fact that

00:53:31.740 it was

00:53:32.240 ambiguous

00:53:33.940 is all

00:53:35.680 that Twitter

00:53:36.640 needed.

00:53:37.540 If it

00:53:38.160 was ambiguous

00:53:38.980 it was still

00:53:39.860 worth the

00:53:40.200 fact.

00:53:40.380 check.

00:53:41.380 And I

00:53:41.860 read it

00:53:42.260 as

00:53:42.500 ambiguous.

00:53:43.880 So you

00:53:44.440 are technically

00:53:45.460 correct that

00:53:47.040 the president

00:53:47.560 did not

00:53:48.380 state as a

00:53:49.400 positive

00:53:49.900 statement

00:53:50.320 you don't

00:53:50.760 need to

00:53:51.100 register

00:53:51.480 and you

00:53:52.280 can still

00:53:52.580 get one

00:53:52.860 of these.

00:53:53.120 He did

00:53:53.340 not say

00:53:53.680 that directly

00:53:54.340 but I

00:53:55.700 also read

00:53:56.300 it as

00:53:56.840 oh you

00:53:57.740 can see

00:53:58.100 it that

00:53:58.340 way.

00:53:59.120 I can

00:53:59.320 see that

00:53:59.620 you can

00:53:59.820 see it

00:54:00.020 that way.

00:54:04.140 So he

00:54:04.780 says let's

00:54:05.280 face it

00:54:06.340 80% of

00:54:06.960 Americans

00:54:07.400 don't give

00:54:08.000 a shit

00:54:08.480 about this.

00:54:09.360 That's true

00:54:09.780 for most

00:54:10.160 things.

00:54:11.740 Somebody

00:54:12.300 says he

00:54:12.900 didn't say

00:54:13.420 that idiot. 0.97

00:54:14.860 I don't

00:54:15.520 know who's

00:54:15.880 the idiot

00:54:16.180 but

00:54:16.580 the hat

00:54:22.460 actually said

00:54:23.220 that but

00:54:23.960 not the

00:54:24.520 cop.

00:54:25.420 I know

00:54:25.680 what that

00:54:25.960 oh the hat

00:54:27.260 said okay

00:54:28.040 got it.

00:54:28.920 so somebody

00:54:30.200 was correcting

00:54:30.860 me on

00:54:31.160 what the

00:54:31.500 hat said

00:54:32.140 it did

00:54:34.440 not say

00:54:35.240 MAGA on

00:54:35.740 the hat

00:54:35.960 but it

00:54:37.240 was a

00:54:37.480 red hat

00:54:37.920 so that

00:54:39.320 is correct.

00:54:39.920 so all

00:54:44.320 right I'm

00:54:44.600 hearing you

00:54:45.020 in the

00:54:45.260 comments

00:54:45.580 you were

00:54:45.880 trying to

00:54:46.260 tell me

00:54:46.620 that it

00:54:47.200 wasn't

00:54:47.700 you were

00:54:49.800 not telling

00:54:50.460 me you

00:54:50.680 were confused

00:54:51.140 about who

00:54:51.600 it was

00:54:52.020 you were

00:54:53.300 correcting me

00:54:53.980 about the

00:54:54.460 statement on

00:54:55.140 the hat

00:54:55.580 so I

00:54:56.040 take that

00:54:56.600 correction

00:54:56.960 as

00:54:57.500 correct.

00:54:58.900 so you

00:55:03.380 can stop

00:55:04.040 correcting me

00:55:05.020 because I

00:55:05.640 accept that

00:55:06.380 correction.

00:55:09.660 Somebody

00:55:10.220 says Scott

00:55:10.800 was poorly

00:55:11.280 educated when

00:55:12.100 he saw the

00:55:12.540 Covington

00:55:13.000 kids video.

00:55:14.280 No that

00:55:14.720 is a

00:55:15.180 incorrect

00:55:15.900 that is an

00:55:17.220 incorrect use

00:55:17.960 of the term

00:55:18.500 poorly educated.

00:55:20.320 The both

00:55:20.960 sides the

00:55:21.800 left and the

00:55:22.320 right reported

00:55:23.060 the Covington

00:55:23.740 kids the same

00:55:24.340 way.

00:55:25.220 So if you

00:55:25.800 were fully

00:55:26.560 educated and

00:55:27.380 you'd seen

00:55:27.760 all the news

00:55:28.540 coverage you

00:55:29.160 would still

00:55:29.480 be wrong

00:55:30.080 but not

00:55:31.840 because you

00:55:32.300 didn't sample

00:55:32.840 all the

00:55:33.140 coverage.

00:55:34.180 So you

00:55:34.520 can still

00:55:34.880 be wrong

00:55:35.400 even looking

00:55:36.000 at all

00:55:36.320 the news

00:55:36.840 if they

00:55:37.940 both get

00:55:38.380 it wrong.

00:55:41.860 The ballots

00:55:42.680 are sent

00:55:43.020 to addresses

00:55:43.560 not voters

00:55:44.540 no verification

00:55:45.440 needed.

00:55:46.680 Yeah I'm

00:55:47.840 you labeled

00:55:54.380 your podcast

00:55:55.160 with my name

00:55:55.940 Kent

00:55:56.360 Heckel

00:55:56.900 Lively

00:55:57.240 did I

00:55:59.640 somebody says

00:56:03.080 Jack Dorsey

00:56:03.740 is a

00:56:04.100 leftist

00:56:04.620 don't trust

00:56:05.880 the

00:56:06.120 control

00:56:06.500 police.

00:56:07.860 Let me

00:56:08.040 tell you

00:56:08.460 a myth

00:56:09.540 that

00:56:10.960 that

00:56:12.660 many people

00:56:13.600 on the

00:56:13.880 right are

00:56:14.240 under.

00:56:15.200 There's this

00:56:15.920 weird myth

00:56:16.680 that there's

00:56:17.860 somebody on

00:56:18.420 the left

00:56:18.760 who doesn't

00:56:19.180 like freedom.

00:56:21.820 I don't think

00:56:22.640 that's true.

00:56:23.640 I don't think

00:56:24.040 there's anybody

00:56:24.860 on the left

00:56:25.440 who only

00:56:26.600 wants control

00:56:27.540 and they

00:56:28.860 want to

00:56:29.140 limit your

00:56:29.540 freedom

00:56:29.840 and they

00:56:30.480 need to

00:56:30.880 be your

00:56:32.200 mommy

00:56:32.460 and tell

00:56:32.800 you what

00:56:33.060 to do.

00:56:33.500 That's just

00:56:34.060 bullshit.

00:56:35.360 There's not

00:56:36.160 anybody like

00:56:36.880 that.

00:56:38.120 There are

00:56:38.560 certainly

00:56:38.780 people who

00:56:39.180 have political

00:56:39.700 preferences

00:56:40.240 and there

00:56:40.720 are lots

00:56:40.920 of individual

00:56:41.500 things that

00:56:42.060 seem to sum

00:56:42.740 up to that

00:56:43.240 but no

00:56:43.920 there's

00:56:44.140 nobody

00:56:44.460 who's

00:56:44.720 saying

00:56:44.980 I want

00:56:45.600 to control

00:56:46.780 people.

00:56:48.360 All I care

00:56:48.980 about is

00:56:49.300 control.

00:56:50.880 That's not

00:56:51.380 a real

00:56:51.620 thing.

00:56:57.460 See the

00:56:58.140 lady

00:56:58.420 Newsom said

00:56:59.800 everyone will

00:57:00.500 be mailed

00:57:01.120 a ballot.

00:57:04.120 So

00:57:04.640 there are

00:57:06.020 there are

00:57:06.820 two questions

00:57:07.400 here.

00:57:08.240 One is

00:57:08.800 whether

00:57:09.240 Twitter's

00:57:11.320 fact check

00:57:11.760 was correct

00:57:12.480 and the

00:57:13.460 other is

00:57:13.800 whether it

00:57:14.380 was legitimate

00:57:14.960 to try to

00:57:15.680 do a

00:57:15.920 fact check

00:57:16.340 on that

00:57:16.740 point.

00:57:18.260 I think

00:57:18.560 it's

00:57:18.700 legitimate

00:57:19.040 to do

00:57:19.380 a fact

00:57:19.700 check

00:57:19.900 on the

00:57:20.180 point

00:57:20.560 but whether

00:57:22.040 they got

00:57:22.360 it right

00:57:22.640 or not

00:57:23.040 that's why

00:57:23.660 you show

00:57:23.960 both sides.

00:57:25.060 That's the

00:57:25.440 whole point

00:57:25.980 of making

00:57:26.480 sure that

00:57:26.880 you surface

00:57:27.360 arguments

00:57:28.080 on both

00:57:28.440 sides.

00:57:31.100 The poorly

00:57:33.260 educated only

00:57:34.060 took the

00:57:34.400 initial

00:57:34.720 Covington

00:57:35.180 report and

00:57:35.700 ran with

00:57:36.000 it.

00:57:36.720 Now I'm

00:57:37.420 going to

00:57:37.600 start

00:57:37.860 I think

00:57:38.960 I'll just

00:57:39.260 start

00:57:39.660 blocking

00:57:41.300 anybody

00:57:41.820 who says

00:57:42.340 the

00:57:42.540 Covington

00:57:43.100 situation

00:57:43.860 is similar

00:57:45.000 to the

00:57:45.340 poorly

00:57:45.580 educated.

00:57:46.420 Those are

00:57:47.000 not in

00:57:47.540 any way

00:57:47.860 related.

00:57:49.240 The poorly

00:57:49.660 educated

00:57:50.280 again is

00:57:51.740 if you

00:57:52.080 if you've

00:57:52.580 only looked

00:57:53.000 at one

00:57:53.440 silo

00:57:54.000 and not

00:57:54.880 the other

00:57:55.340 news silo

00:57:56.320 you would

00:57:56.660 be poorly

00:57:57.100 educated.

00:57:57.740 You'd be

00:57:57.980 half educated.

00:57:59.280 But if you

00:57:59.800 look at them

00:58:00.280 both and

00:58:01.660 they tell you

00:58:02.060 the same

00:58:02.420 news and

00:58:03.620 it's wrong

00:58:04.240 that's not

00:58:05.580 poorly

00:58:05.900 educated.

00:58:06.600 That's just

00:58:06.940 the news

00:58:07.380 was wrong.

00:58:09.660 Somebody

00:58:10.220 said you

00:58:10.620 were like

00:58:10.980 that.

00:58:13.420 Somebody

00:58:13.900 says you

00:58:14.380 were like

00:58:14.740 that just

00:58:15.200 before I

00:58:15.580 blocked

00:58:15.840 them.

00:58:18.440 Let's

00:58:18.900 see if

00:58:20.680 anybody else

00:58:21.140 wants to

00:58:21.480 get blocked.

00:58:26.100 Nope

00:58:26.580 you're wrong

00:58:27.060 on that.

00:58:27.800 They just

00:58:28.160 don't say

00:58:28.580 it out

00:58:28.840 loud.

00:58:29.840 I'm going

00:58:30.120 to block

00:58:30.480 you for

00:58:31.120 being a

00:58:31.460 mind reader.

00:58:33.380 So whoever

00:58:33.960 says that they

00:58:34.600 can read the

00:58:35.060 minds of

00:58:35.460 strangers we

00:58:36.180 don't need

00:58:36.520 to hear.

00:58:37.540 Anybody

00:58:37.800 else?

00:58:38.200 Anybody

00:58:40.040 else need

00:58:40.500 a block?

00:58:41.740 Have you

00:58:42.080 ever studied

00:58:42.580 communism?

00:58:46.180 I don't

00:58:46.780 know where

00:58:47.000 that question

00:58:47.500 is going.

00:58:48.720 Control

00:58:49.160 is a real

00:58:49.860 thing.

00:58:51.340 Yeah.

00:58:52.080 Control

00:58:52.520 is a real

00:58:53.100 thing and

00:58:54.120 you just

00:58:54.520 got blocked.

00:58:58.420 Yeah.

00:58:59.200 It's just

00:58:59.760 not a

00:59:00.220 argument

00:59:02.200 that's

00:59:02.740 I don't

00:59:03.780 even want

00:59:04.100 to be

00:59:04.280 around it.

00:59:04.900 It's just

00:59:05.200 so useless.

00:59:08.200 In the

00:59:08.880 real world

00:59:09.400 people have

00:59:10.120 individual

00:59:10.700 goals and

00:59:11.660 they have

00:59:11.860 individual

00:59:12.340 things they

00:59:13.420 want but

00:59:14.380 nobody is

00:59:14.900 like fighting

00:59:15.500 for the

00:59:16.000 concept of

00:59:16.620 control.

00:59:17.580 It's not

00:59:17.960 a thing.

00:59:22.940 Are there

00:59:23.620 really both

00:59:24.180 sides to

00:59:24.860 facts?

00:59:26.760 Well there

00:59:27.440 are in the

00:59:28.020 sense that we

00:59:28.680 can't agree

00:59:29.180 on them so

00:59:29.860 yes.

00:59:30.220 all right

00:59:38.780 so somebody

00:59:39.940 here putting

00:59:41.000 thoughts into

00:59:41.840 my head.

00:59:42.680 You get a

00:59:42.980 block.

00:59:44.240 It's okay to

00:59:45.000 say your

00:59:45.380 thoughts.

00:59:46.300 I always

00:59:46.840 welcome your

00:59:47.520 opinions but

00:59:48.960 what I block

00:59:49.800 for is when

00:59:50.560 people tell me

00:59:51.320 my opinion.

00:59:52.600 You don't

00:59:53.300 need to tell

00:59:53.720 me my

00:59:54.100 opinion in

00:59:54.860 public.

00:59:55.900 I'm the

00:59:56.280 only one who

00:59:56.700 gets to say

00:59:57.160 that.

00:59:57.480 If you

00:59:59.440 tell me my

01:00:00.060 opinion you

01:00:00.700 get blocked.

01:00:01.680 I can tell

01:00:02.480 you my

01:00:03.240 opinion and

01:00:04.160 you can tell

01:00:04.620 me your

01:00:04.940 opinion and

01:00:05.520 you'll never

01:00:05.840 get blocked

01:00:06.280 for that.

01:00:07.780 Unless it's

01:00:08.540 some kind of

01:00:09.280 weird Nazi

01:00:09.800 thing.

01:00:11.280 All right.

01:00:15.900 Somebody says

01:00:16.600 I love your

01:00:17.100 anger.

01:00:17.920 Yeah I

01:00:19.200 never would

01:00:19.700 have anticipated

01:00:20.740 that my

01:00:22.040 anger would

01:00:24.580 be a selling

01:00:25.160 point but

01:00:26.360 it's

01:00:27.460 all right one

01:00:31.080 of your

01:00:31.240 comments is

01:00:31.800 funny.

01:00:32.720 All right

01:00:32.880 that's enough.

01:00:33.680 I got nothing

01:00:34.200 left.

01:00:34.620 I'll talk to

01:00:34.980 you tonight.

01:00:35.900 See you then.
