00:00:12.340 Hey! There you are. Good morning, everybody. It's an incredible, incredible morning.
00:00:19.980 Things are getting better all over the place, while looking worse, but they're getting better.
00:00:25.920 I'll tell you all about that in a minute.
00:00:27.560 But first, you might want to enjoy a little thing called a simultaneous sip
00:00:32.220 And it doesn't take much
00:00:33.260 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass
00:00:35.620 A tack or a chalice or a sty
00:00:36.600 A canteen jug or a flask
00:00:37.660 A vessel of any kind
00:00:39.100 Filled with your favorite liquid
00:00:41.280 I like coffee
00:00:43.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:47.200 The dopamine hit of the day
00:00:49.040 The thing that makes everything better
00:00:51.480 Including the damn pandemic
00:00:54.120 And riots too
00:00:56.000 Which you could call protests
00:00:58.680 Here it comes, the simultaneous sip
00:01:01.020 Go! 0.95
00:01:05.500 Mmm, yes
00:01:06.780 I feel the tensions diminishing
00:01:10.420 Well
00:01:12.700 Is this the weirdest
00:01:15.500 The weirdest kind of day?
00:01:19.420 I don't know if you're noticing this
00:01:21.600 But unity is breaking out everywhere
00:01:24.500 Except we're so trained
00:01:27.880 Not to see it
00:01:29.560 That we're still acting as though
00:01:32.220 We're somehow
00:01:32.860 On different sides
00:01:35.080 But we're not
00:01:36.860 Because
00:01:38.100 While you were not noticing
00:01:40.100 Black Lives Matter
00:01:42.180 Antifa
00:01:44.040 And President Trump
00:01:45.740 Just strongly took the same side
00:01:48.240 In the question about the
00:01:51.240 George Lloyd shooting
00:01:52.820 Now that's true, right?
00:01:55.800 True or false
00:01:56.860 Black Lives Matter
00:01:58.580 Antifa and President Trump
00:02:00.980 Have strongly taken the same side of this
00:02:03.400 I think that's true
00:02:05.260 Did you expect that?
00:02:07.620 Probably not
00:02:08.620 Probably not, right?
00:02:10.620 How about
00:02:12.000 What is the opinion of CNN
00:02:15.560 And Fox News today
00:02:17.300 About the police
00:02:19.920 In Minneapolis
00:02:21.660 Pretty similar today
00:02:24.300 Fox News and CNN
00:02:26.080 Suddenly
00:02:27.780 Kumbaya
00:02:29.580 They both agree
00:02:31.180 That the
00:02:32.820 The arrest of the CNN
00:02:34.480 Reporter on the scene
00:02:36.500 Was a little bit
00:02:38.060 Too far
00:02:38.960 I don't know if you watched the video
00:02:41.720 But you really have to watch the video
00:02:43.380 To appreciate
00:02:44.600 How ridiculous it was
00:02:46.400 Because the CNN crew
00:02:48.540 And the reporter
00:02:50.820 For the benefit of the story
00:02:52.740 And because of the context of the story
00:02:54.940 You have to know that the reporter
00:02:56.520 His last name is Jimenez
00:02:58.500 But he's very dark-skinned 0.97
00:03:00.620 This is important to the story
00:03:02.280 Not important to you or me
00:03:04.040 But important to the story
00:03:05.860 And they decide
00:03:07.900 That they're going to arrest this poor bastard
00:03:10.100 Along with some white crew members apparently
00:03:12.740 And they were completely cooperating
00:03:16.440 They were saying on camera
00:03:18.940 Live
00:03:19.640 While the police were there
00:03:20.660 Oh, just tell us where you want us to go
00:03:22.520 You know, we were just getting out of your way
00:03:24.520 When we came over here
00:03:25.540 But let us know what you want us to do
00:03:27.660 We'll go
00:03:28.060 We'll be happy to do it
00:03:29.480 And then they arrested him
00:03:31.560 And the guy's being arrested
00:03:33.140 He's like, for what?
00:03:34.780 What are you being
00:03:35.560 What am I being arrested for?
00:03:37.860 And I gotta say
00:03:39.000 If that had been me
00:03:42.000 And the cameras were rolling
00:03:44.600 I think I would have flipped out
00:03:47.040 I think I would have gone
00:03:49.240 Absolutely batshit crazy
00:03:51.960 And see if the police
00:03:53.460 Try to rough me up on camera
00:03:54.960 I don't know if I could let that situation go
00:03:58.520 I mean, I would have taken
00:03:59.740 A little bit of a knee to the neck
00:04:02.160 Just because the cameras were rolling
00:04:04.340 So I think that the reporter
00:04:07.060 Left a good opportunity
00:04:08.800 For grandstanding behind
00:04:10.900 I don't think I would have left that behind
00:04:13.260 I would have started screaming
00:04:15.580 Here's what I would have done
00:04:17.300 I wouldn't have started physically resisting
00:04:19.960 That would be crazy
00:04:21.180 But I would have started screaming
00:04:23.840 That they're not telling me
00:04:26.660 Why they're arresting me
00:04:27.780 Because they kind of owe you that, right?
00:04:30.840 They do need to tell you
00:04:32.420 Why you're being arrested
00:04:33.440 Especially when you're not resisting arrest
00:04:35.520 And if they don't tell you
00:04:37.860 Why you're being arrested
00:04:38.800 I would have just flipped out
00:04:40.720 I would have just gone crazy
00:04:42.340 Not physically
00:04:43.940 Just mentally
00:04:44.980 Just, you know, verbally
00:04:45.940 He missed a good chance
00:04:48.340 So
00:04:52.140 It's the weirdest situation
00:04:54.700 I think the president
00:04:56.000 Has done exactly the right thing
00:04:59.180 He's agreeing with
00:05:01.060 Almost all of the public
00:05:02.840 And certainly Black Lives Matter
00:05:04.420 And Antifa
00:05:05.120 About this one situation
00:05:07.100 With the police officer
00:05:09.140 Killing George Lloyd
00:05:10.840 But here's what's interesting
00:05:13.040 We all agree that the president
00:05:15.120 Is taking the right position on this
00:05:17.300 Right?
00:05:18.440 So what does CNN say
00:05:20.160 When the president does
00:05:22.000 Unambiguously the right thing
00:05:23.960 That they also agree with?
00:05:26.800 How does CNN cover the news
00:05:28.760 When President Trump
00:05:29.720 Does exactly the right thing?
00:05:31.720 Do you know?
00:05:33.500 In the comments
00:05:34.420 See if you can guess
00:05:35.440 Brian Stelter covers it this way
00:05:38.400 Trump should have weighed in sooner
00:05:41.080 That's right
00:05:43.320 If you do the right thing
00:05:45.160 The criticism is
00:05:47.140 It should have been done sooner
00:05:48.280 And as you know
00:05:51.660 There's no such thing
00:05:53.340 As anything good
00:05:54.100 That shouldn't have been done sooner
00:05:55.580 So it's sort of the generic
00:05:57.000 Complaint
00:05:58.140 So MSNBC 1.00
00:06:01.800 Apparently has decided
00:06:03.000 That they're going to report
00:06:04.200 The happenings
00:06:06.520 In Minnesota
00:06:08.420 The so-called rioting
00:06:10.860 So-called looting
00:06:12.040 So-called protesting
00:06:13.700 They're going to call it protesting
00:06:15.100 Because it's more protest than riot
00:06:17.060 Sure
00:06:18.600 There are some buildings on fire
00:06:20.280 Yes, yes, yes
00:06:22.320 They overtook a police precinct
00:06:25.100 And set it on fire
00:06:26.480 But mostly in a peaceful protest
00:06:29.260 Kind of a way
00:06:30.140 While they're breaking the windows
00:06:32.760 Out of police cars
00:06:33.640 As they tried to get away
00:06:35.200 So that's MSNBC's coverage
00:06:37.900 So Trump, of course
00:06:42.080 Just to make all the stories
00:06:44.680 More interesting
00:06:45.380 Trump tweets that
00:06:48.320 If there's looting
00:06:49.540 You know, the looting
00:06:50.680 Will be followed by shooting
00:06:51.900 I forget the exact quote
00:06:52.980 But because shooting
00:06:54.400 Was part of the tweet
00:06:55.980 Twitter decided to
00:06:58.180 To flag it
00:06:59.700 And hide it
00:07:02.320 I guess
00:07:02.700 Hide it or flag it
00:07:04.360 I forget which one
00:07:05.100 But anyway
00:07:05.840 They're semi-censoring the tweet
00:07:07.900 I think you can still find it
00:07:09.860 You can
00:07:10.580 Yeah, you can still find it
00:07:12.560 So it's not like
00:07:13.160 You don't know what he said
00:07:14.020 But the reason given this time
00:07:16.120 Is that it glorifies violence
00:07:18.040 Because shooting was
00:07:20.180 Mentioned in somewhat
00:07:21.760 Out of an optimistic context
00:07:23.960 Which is weird
00:07:26.480 Because
00:07:27.000 You know
00:07:29.740 If you heard that
00:07:31.420 One of the looters
00:07:32.380 Got a shot
00:07:33.060 I don't know
00:07:34.600 If he'd be unhappy
00:07:35.460 I don't
00:07:37.300 I mean, you should
00:07:39.020 About the loss of life
00:07:40.160 But I don't know
00:07:41.200 If you would
00:07:41.860 You know
00:07:42.860 Because we watch the
00:07:43.840 We watch the video
00:07:45.460 And we think
00:07:46.080 Well
00:07:46.480 Maybe if a few of them
00:07:48.720 Had some bad outcome
00:07:51.200 You know
00:07:52.160 There might be less of it
00:07:53.440 I don't know
00:07:53.960 As I told you before
00:07:56.400 I suspect this is the last time
00:07:58.260 We might see this sort of thing
00:08:00.120 Because so many of them
00:08:01.880 Are eventually
00:08:02.720 Going to get arrested
00:08:03.480 You know
00:08:04.480 There should be
00:08:05.040 Mass arrests
00:08:05.860 Eventually
00:08:06.540 Because there's so many people
00:08:07.920 Just on film
00:08:08.680 You know
00:08:09.480 It can't be that hard
00:08:10.680 To round them up
00:08:11.520 So we'll see what happens
00:08:13.720 So would you call it a riot
00:08:19.080 If some buildings are burning
00:08:20.320 I don't know that it matters
00:08:21.740 It sounds like
00:08:22.520 Most of the people
00:08:23.560 Want to be peaceful
00:08:24.560 There are reports
00:08:26.440 That Black Lives Matter
00:08:27.860 Are trying to keep
00:08:29.440 Antifa from getting too violent
00:08:31.200 I don't know if I can
00:08:33.100 Enjoy this anymore
00:08:34.200 What could you enjoy more
00:08:36.800 Than watching Black Lives Matter 0.99
00:08:39.160 Try to keep
00:08:40.720 Antifa
00:08:41.760 From destroying
00:08:43.080 Their city
00:08:43.840 I mean
00:08:46.220 That
00:08:46.480 That just takes it
00:08:47.660 To the ridiculous level
00:08:48.840 So Michael Malice
00:08:49.980 Had a
00:08:51.100 Had an insightful tweet
00:08:53.220 This morning
00:08:53.800 He said
00:08:54.480 I don't know
00:08:54.940 If I can get the gist of it
00:08:56.080 But the idea was
00:08:57.380 That
00:08:57.720 That conservatives
00:09:00.020 Are being
00:09:01.180 Red-pilled
00:09:02.600 About how bad it is
00:09:04.220 To be
00:09:04.620 A black citizen
00:09:05.660 Stopped by
00:09:06.660 Police
00:09:07.200 So
00:09:08.580 So we're probably
00:09:10.100 Understanding it
00:09:11.220 At a deeper level
00:09:12.520 Than we understood it before
00:09:14.620 Wouldn't you say
00:09:15.340 Because it's not like
00:09:16.580 We didn't all know
00:09:17.620 There was an issue there
00:09:18.700 Everybody knew
00:09:20.100 There was an issue
00:09:20.940 But watching the video
00:09:22.740 Gives you
00:09:24.240 Like a completely
00:09:25.540 Different feel
00:09:26.400 For it
00:09:26.940 So I think that
00:09:28.260 Genuinely
00:09:29.120 A lot of the country
00:09:30.140 Just woke up
00:09:30.940 A little bit
00:09:31.480 To something they knew
00:09:33.080 But they didn't know
00:09:34.180 No
00:09:34.540 They didn't know it
00:09:35.400 In their body
00:09:36.060 They sort of knew it
00:09:37.460 Intellectually
00:09:38.220 They knew it
00:09:39.240 They knew it was a story
00:09:41.000 But they didn't know it
00:09:42.300 In their body
00:09:42.980 And I think that's what
00:09:44.020 The video does
00:09:44.760 Now you can actually
00:09:45.800 Feel it
00:09:46.560 You can actually
00:09:47.700 Put yourself in the position
00:09:49.040 Of George Lloyd
00:09:50.000 And by the way
00:09:51.120 You've probably done that
00:09:52.060 Haven't you
00:09:52.480 Have you spent no time
00:09:54.780 I'll bet you have
00:09:56.920 You've imagined
00:09:57.880 You are George Lloyd
00:10:00.040 Have you not
00:10:00.640 It's an interesting question
00:10:02.920 How many of you
00:10:04.040 Have at least spent
00:10:05.000 A second
00:10:05.480 Thinking
00:10:06.840 What it would be like
00:10:07.920 You're on the ground
00:10:08.740 And what would you do
00:10:10.100 And how did you feel
00:10:11.320 And what did
00:10:12.380 His last moments
00:10:13.300 Feel like
00:10:13.840 I've spent a lot of time
00:10:15.280 Thinking about that
00:10:16.220 So when you
00:10:17.780 When you go from
00:10:19.360 A concept
00:10:20.200 You know
00:10:20.860 There's police brutality
00:10:22.020 It's
00:10:22.680 You know
00:10:23.520 There's a concern
00:10:24.380 That it's
00:10:24.960 It's aimed at some groups
00:10:26.700 More than others
00:10:27.440 You can sort of
00:10:29.280 Intellectualize that
00:10:30.400 And then just move on
00:10:31.320 To the next topic
00:10:32.180 But if you spend
00:10:33.540 A little time
00:10:34.400 Sort of living
00:10:36.040 In your imagination
00:10:36.960 Of what it's like
00:10:38.200 To be George Lloyd
00:10:39.680 In his last moments
00:10:40.800 Of life
00:10:41.360 You feel differently
00:10:44.200 About it
00:10:44.940 So I think
00:10:46.060 There actually was
00:10:47.200 Some kind of
00:10:49.000 Important inflection point
00:10:51.180 That happened
00:10:51.780 Because of that video
00:10:52.760 But at the same time
00:10:54.960 As Michael Ballas
00:10:56.820 Points out
00:10:57.400 I think we're all
00:10:58.880 Being red-pilled
00:11:00.160 About the corporate media
00:11:01.780 Meaning that
00:11:03.420 The left
00:11:04.440 Used to trust the media
00:11:05.920 And now they're
00:11:07.540 Just finding out
00:11:08.460 Wait a minute
00:11:09.380 Are you telling me
00:11:10.920 That even my own side
00:11:12.420 Is lying to me
00:11:13.540 Yes
00:11:14.940 Yes
00:11:16.160 Your own side
00:11:17.180 Is lying to you
00:11:17.980 Because that's
00:11:18.780 The new business
00:11:19.440 Model of the press
00:11:20.260 Telling you
00:11:21.140 What will get
00:11:21.680 The most clicks
00:11:22.360 And
00:11:23.460 So
00:11:25.200 Is it a coincidence
00:11:27.180 That Black Lives Matter
00:11:30.200 Antifa
00:11:31.600 President Trump
00:11:33.940 CNN
00:11:35.220 And Fox News
00:11:37.380 Are all on the same side
00:11:39.860 If this should be reported
00:11:42.760 As one of the greatest
00:11:44.020 Things that's ever
00:11:44.800 Happened to the country
00:11:45.740 Because it is
00:11:47.640 It's horrible
00:11:49.160 In Minnesota
00:11:50.540 But what this is doing
00:11:52.540 To our psychology
00:11:53.600 Especially when
00:11:55.080 You know
00:11:55.460 And you've got the
00:11:56.360 Additional context
00:11:57.380 Of the COVID
00:11:58.440 You know
00:11:59.640 The COVID thing
00:12:00.380 Was yet again
00:12:01.420 Another situation
00:12:02.580 Where
00:12:03.560 What was one of the
00:12:04.420 Biggest concerns
00:12:05.260 In the country
00:12:05.980 One of the biggest
00:12:07.640 Most talked about
00:12:08.780 Concerns
00:12:09.420 Is that it was
00:12:10.180 Hitting the African 1.00
00:12:10.920 American
00:12:11.320 Community hardest
00:12:12.980 There was
00:12:14.680 Intense effort
00:12:16.060 To make sure
00:12:16.640 Everybody got fed
00:12:17.840 There is continuous
00:12:19.380 Talk about how
00:12:20.300 This is hurting
00:12:21.000 The lower economic
00:12:22.720 Strata
00:12:23.600 The most
00:12:24.620 There is something
00:12:26.280 Terribly unifying
00:12:27.640 About the virus
00:12:29.520 It was a common enemy
00:12:30.680 So in the context
00:12:32.300 Of a common enemy
00:12:33.320 Where we've all
00:12:34.100 Just spent three months
00:12:35.120 Everybody's locked down
00:12:37.060 Everybody's trying
00:12:38.360 To help each other
00:12:39.200 We are trying
00:12:40.760 To help each other
00:12:41.620 It's unambiguous
00:12:42.780 There's no question
00:12:44.320 About it
00:12:44.880 No matter what
00:12:46.120 Community you're in
00:12:47.160 You just watched
00:12:48.800 Every other community
00:12:50.040 Step up and say
00:12:50.920 All right
00:12:51.160 How can we help
00:12:51.840 Who's in trouble
00:12:53.180 Doesn't matter
00:12:54.560 What your color is
00:12:55.540 Doesn't matter
00:12:56.020 Where you live
00:12:56.700 We don't care
00:12:57.160 About your religion
00:12:57.920 Who needs help
00:12:59.160 That's the mode
00:13:00.580 We've been in
00:13:01.160 We've been in a mode
00:13:02.780 Where nothing matters
00:13:04.280 Except you're a human
00:13:06.080 You need some help
00:13:07.420 That's it
00:13:08.080 And
00:13:09.360 Then this comes up
00:13:11.760 And weirdly
00:13:12.960 The timing of it
00:13:14.380 Just couldn't be better
00:13:15.560 In terms of the
00:13:16.780 Psychology of the country
00:13:17.980 Because I think
00:13:19.980 It has unified us all
00:13:22.340 In a weird way
00:13:24.400 Now it's not
00:13:25.940 Going to look like it
00:13:26.840 Because the news
00:13:28.140 Is going to report
00:13:28.860 Division
00:13:29.540 Wherever it can find it
00:13:30.700 But I think this
00:13:32.240 Might change us
00:13:33.120 It might actually
00:13:34.720 Change us
00:13:35.400 So that's the
00:13:37.260 Positive news
00:13:37.900 Over at CNN
00:13:40.860 They have a pundit
00:13:42.840 Who I'm going to
00:13:44.220 I'm going to give him
00:13:45.100 A nickname
00:13:45.580 He's the chief
00:13:46.380 Mind reader
00:13:47.120 So about once
00:13:48.860 Every few days
00:13:49.620 He writes an article
00:13:50.420 For CNN.com
00:13:51.900 In which he
00:13:53.900 Reads the president's mind
00:13:55.940 And finds bad things
00:13:57.260 In there
00:13:57.660 For example
00:13:59.200 Today
00:13:59.720 Is an article
00:14:01.260 He
00:14:01.640 He was impeached
00:14:04.200 For using presidential powers
00:14:05.600 To influence an election
00:14:06.940 That's what CNN is saying
00:14:08.960 That's
00:14:09.320 Not a fact
00:14:10.940 That's an interpretation
00:14:13.300 But okay
00:14:13.920 And now it says
00:14:16.500 It's now clear
00:14:17.180 That his acquittal
00:14:17.960 In a senate trial
00:14:18.840 Only encouraged him
00:14:20.000 To use that authority
00:14:21.140 To serve
00:14:22.460 To serve his personal whims
00:14:24.300 In a pattern
00:14:24.920 That becomes more pronounced
00:14:26.200 So how do we know
00:14:29.540 That his acquittal
00:14:31.260 Encouraged him
00:14:33.020 To use the authority
00:14:35.700 Of the government
00:14:36.360 For his personal whims
00:14:37.820 That's kind of
00:14:39.640 Mind reading
00:14:40.120 Isn't it
00:14:40.680 Because that's not
00:14:42.220 An evidence
00:14:42.820 All that's an evidence
00:14:45.180 Is what he does
00:14:45.960 We don't have an evidence
00:14:46.800 Of his inner thoughts
00:14:48.120 But the chief mind reader
00:14:50.440 Of CNN
00:14:50.860 Says we do
00:14:51.660 And
00:14:53.260 And that he's using
00:14:55.060 The machinery of government
00:14:56.280 To address
00:14:56.940 Personal affronts
00:14:58.300 Is that what he's doing
00:14:59.560 Is he using
00:15:01.160 The machinery of government
00:15:02.520 To address
00:15:03.840 Personal affronts
00:15:05.320 Or is he
00:15:07.820 Trying to make
00:15:08.700 Social media
00:15:09.380 More fair
00:15:10.260 I don't know
00:15:11.100 Interpretation
00:15:12.520 Alright
00:15:13.480 So the World Health Organization
00:15:18.760 Continues to say
00:15:20.880 That masks
00:15:21.760 Should not be used
00:15:22.960 Except by
00:15:23.540 Healthcare professionals
00:15:24.600 So now the CDC
00:15:26.840 And
00:15:27.960 The United States
00:15:30.300 Medical authorities
00:15:31.440 Say masks are good
00:15:33.280 And you should wear masks
00:15:34.600 But the World Health Organization
00:15:36.440 Says 0.93
00:15:36.940 They're not recommended
00:15:38.360 For healthy people
00:15:39.320 So
00:15:41.840 When somebody says
00:15:43.160 You should trust
00:15:43.860 The experts
00:15:44.640 Who should you trust?
00:15:47.040 Should you trust
00:15:48.240 The World Health Organization
00:15:49.660 Their experts
00:15:50.500 And their advice
00:15:52.080 Is the opposite
00:15:52.840 Of the CDC
00:15:53.900 Who are experts
00:15:55.120 And this leads me to
00:15:57.900 A tweet today
00:16:00.400 By Richard Dawkins
00:16:03.260 You know Richard Dawkins
00:16:04.760 Famous
00:16:05.340 Religious
00:16:06.540 Skeptic
00:16:07.300 Meaning he's skeptical
00:16:08.900 Of religion 0.86
00:16:09.520 And he tweeted this
00:16:11.460 And I assume
00:16:12.840 He was talking about
00:16:13.680 The whole
00:16:14.220 Fact-checking
00:16:15.480 Social media situation
00:16:16.680 He tweeted
00:16:18.280 How could fact-checking
00:16:19.820 Ever
00:16:20.600 Ever
00:16:21.120 As in all caps
00:16:22.020 How could fact-checking
00:16:23.760 Ever be a bad thing?
00:16:25.960 The only limit to fact-checking
00:16:27.860 Should be the time and expense
00:16:29.140 Of doing so
00:16:29.840 What honest
00:16:31.680 Reasonable person
00:16:32.880 Could ever
00:16:34.220 Also in capital
00:16:35.540 Object to being fact-checked?
00:16:37.840 Now I just gave you an example
00:16:42.120 How would you fact-check
00:16:44.320 Masks are good
00:16:46.480 Versus masks are bad
00:16:47.980 How would you fact-check that?
00:16:50.440 Would you fact-check it
00:16:51.500 By going to the experts?
00:16:53.420 Because the experts disagree
00:16:54.760 So
00:16:56.440 How does Richard Dawkins
00:16:58.720 Who's a famous scientist
00:17:00.220 A famous rational person
00:17:02.020 How in the world
00:17:03.300 Does he not know
00:17:04.320 That the problem with fact-checking
00:17:06.760 Is that the fact-checkers
00:17:08.140 Are
00:17:08.500 Really not to be trusted
00:17:10.340 You know
00:17:12.020 As many times
00:17:12.980 As there have been articles
00:17:14.120 Written about Richard Dawkins
00:17:15.800 And there have been a lot
00:17:16.740 Has he not noticed
00:17:18.620 How often they're wrong?
00:17:20.760 And most of them
00:17:21.940 Have been fact-checked
00:17:22.980 So
00:17:23.980 Fact-checking doesn't
00:17:25.140 Really work
00:17:26.220 And I'm surprised
00:17:28.420 That he thinks it does
00:17:29.240 But
00:17:30.140 I'm not saying
00:17:31.380 You should not fact-check
00:17:32.560 I'm just saying that
00:17:34.420 You know
00:17:35.660 How could
00:17:36.240 Fact-checking
00:17:37.020 Ever be a bad thing
00:17:38.020 Is his direct question
00:17:39.060 And he says
00:17:40.200 How could it ever
00:17:40.920 Be a bad thing?
00:17:41.800 He doesn't say
00:17:42.520 It's more good than bad
00:17:45.080 Which I would probably
00:17:46.640 Agree with
00:17:47.240 Yeah
00:17:47.860 It's more good than bad
00:17:48.800 It's better to do
00:17:49.540 Than not do
00:17:50.180 I would say that
00:17:51.700 But how could you ask
00:17:53.820 How could it ever
00:17:55.060 Be a bad thing?
00:17:57.160 You'd have to be in a coma
00:17:58.360 For the last four years
00:17:59.620 To ask
00:18:00.520 How could that ever
00:18:01.200 Be a bad thing?
00:18:02.000 All right
00:18:03.460 So
00:18:07.420 Now we've seen
00:18:08.200 Twitter flag
00:18:09.100 Two Trump tweets
00:18:11.020 One
00:18:12.140 Because they
00:18:12.840 Allege
00:18:13.280 It had
00:18:13.680 Inaccurate
00:18:15.080 Election information
00:18:16.740 Now
00:18:18.400 Fox News
00:18:19.960 Is reporting it
00:18:20.920 That they were
00:18:22.120 Talking about
00:18:23.160 His
00:18:23.560 His statements
00:18:25.060 That
00:18:25.680 That
00:18:27.400 That
00:18:27.420 So the way
00:18:29.180 Fox News
00:18:29.720 Is reporting it
00:18:30.560 Is wrong
00:18:31.960 I think
00:18:32.380 Which is that
00:18:33.740 I just noticed
00:18:37.420 Something wrong
00:18:37.920 With my wall
00:18:38.540 That's weird
00:18:39.260 Fox News
00:18:40.480 Is reporting
00:18:40.960 That the problem
00:18:41.560 Was the president
00:18:42.260 Was saying
00:18:43.600 That
00:18:44.140 Well you know
00:18:46.320 The story
00:18:46.740 It's too boring
00:18:47.360 I'm just going to
00:18:49.080 Bail out of the story
00:18:49.920 Because it was too boring
00:18:50.800 You'll be happy
00:18:53.060 About it
00:18:53.620 All right
00:18:54.460 That's what's
00:18:55.560 Happening right now
00:18:56.280 I would challenge
00:19:00.760 You
00:19:01.240 To see if you
00:19:02.680 Can figure out
00:19:03.460 The positive
00:19:04.280 In today's stories
00:19:05.920 I think it's a
00:19:07.140 Positive that
00:19:07.940 There's
00:19:08.380 Creative friction
00:19:10.300 Between the public
00:19:11.380 And the government
00:19:12.060 And social media
00:19:13.120 We don't know
00:19:14.340 How this will
00:19:14.860 Come out
00:19:15.420 But whenever
00:19:16.520 You see creative
00:19:17.460 Friction
00:19:17.940 I think that's
00:19:19.380 A good sign 0.64
00:19:20.060 All right
00:19:21.080 So it was
00:19:22.660 One thing
00:19:23.140 When there was
00:19:23.580 Lots of grumbling
00:19:24.560 About social media
00:19:25.860 But there was
00:19:26.820 No there was
00:19:27.820 No sense of
00:19:28.560 Equal power
00:19:29.400 Social media
00:19:30.580 Could do
00:19:30.920 Whatever it wanted
00:19:31.680 The users
00:19:33.700 Could grumble
00:19:34.440 But what are
00:19:35.000 You going to do
00:19:35.540 You know
00:19:36.180 There's only one
00:19:36.860 Facebook
00:19:37.240 There's one Twitter
00:19:38.120 For all practical
00:19:39.360 Purposes
00:19:39.840 I know there are
00:19:40.520 Competitors
00:19:41.020 But what are
00:19:43.200 You going to do
00:19:43.600 So you end up
00:19:45.140 Just complaining
00:19:46.360 About it
00:19:46.880 But now the
00:19:47.420 President has
00:19:48.180 Decided to
00:19:48.940 Even up the
00:19:49.660 Power structure
00:19:51.240 Now it's the
00:19:52.140 Government versus
00:19:53.140 Social media
00:19:53.980 Which is kind
00:19:55.220 Of a fair fight
00:19:56.120 If you think
00:19:57.280 About it
00:19:57.680 I'm not even
00:19:58.260 Sure who has
00:19:58.860 More horsepower
00:20:00.020 Because Google
00:20:01.560 Can hire the 0.98
00:20:02.360 Best lawyers
00:20:02.960 In the world
00:20:03.540 The government
00:20:04.860 Can get great
00:20:05.880 Lawyers and
00:20:06.440 Has its own
00:20:07.000 Power
00:20:07.360 It's kind
00:20:08.320 Of a fair
00:20:08.760 Fight
00:20:09.180 And this
00:20:10.080 Is the
00:20:10.380 Kind of
00:20:10.740 Fair
00:20:11.020 Fight
00:20:11.440 That you
00:20:12.060 Should be
00:20:12.360 Happy about
00:20:12.940 Because we
00:20:14.260 Even though
00:20:15.000 We don't
00:20:15.300 Know where
00:20:15.580 It ends
00:20:16.120 It's almost
00:20:16.960 Certainly
00:20:17.520 Going to
00:20:18.900 Move us
00:20:19.320 To a
00:20:19.640 More credible
00:20:20.440 Situation
00:20:21.200 Whatever
00:20:22.560 Whatever comes
00:20:23.400 Out of it
00:20:23.820 Will probably
00:20:24.520 Be something
00:20:25.060 That's a
00:20:25.540 Little bit
00:20:25.940 Better
00:20:26.240 At least
00:20:26.900 Concealment
00:20:31.400 Of POTUS'
00:20:32.240 Remarks
00:20:32.740 Has gone
00:20:33.260 Too far
00:20:33.860 Well let's
00:20:35.240 Say
00:20:35.560 Let's say
00:20:37.800 That the
00:20:38.360 Categories
00:20:39.000 That they
00:20:39.380 Decide to
00:20:40.220 Censor
00:20:40.720 Are limited
00:20:42.100 To
00:20:42.640 Facts
00:20:43.920 About the
00:20:44.400 Election
00:20:44.820 And
00:20:46.860 Something
00:20:47.440 That glorifies
00:20:48.400 Violence
00:20:49.080 Suppose
00:20:49.960 That was
00:20:50.440 All
00:20:50.680 They
00:20:51.180 Ever
00:20:51.540 Fact
00:20:53.000 Check
00:20:53.240 And if
00:20:54.140 It's
00:20:54.300 The
00:20:54.420 President
00:20:54.780 Of course
00:20:55.320 You see
00:20:55.700 It
00:20:55.840 Anyway
00:20:56.180 We've
00:20:57.060 All
00:20:57.240 Seen
00:20:57.440 His
00:20:57.640 Tweet
00:20:57.980 More
00:20:58.460 Than
00:20:58.640 We
00:20:58.820 Would
00:20:59.040 Have
00:20:59.240 Because
00:21:00.260 It
00:21:00.460 Got
00:21:00.620 Banned
00:21:00.920 So
00:21:01.560 If
00:21:01.800 The
00:21:01.940 Effect
00:21:02.340 Of
00:21:02.720 Fact
00:21:03.960 Checking
00:21:04.360 The
00:21:04.540 President
00:21:04.940 Tweets
00:21:05.760 Is 0.88
00:21:06.640 That
00:21:06.800 We
00:21:06.960 All
00:21:07.260 Are
00:21:07.520 More
00:21:07.920 Exposed
00:21:08.540 To
00:21:08.740 Them
00:21:08.940 Not
00:21:09.180 Less
00:21:09.580 I
00:21:10.280 Don't
00:21:10.500 Know
00:21:10.720 If
00:21:10.880 That's
00:21:11.100 Really
00:21:11.300 Censorship
00:21:11.860 Because
00:21:12.860 The
00:21:13.060 Net
00:21:13.300 Effect
00:21:13.720 Is 0.88
00:21:14.020 We
00:21:14.220 Get
00:21:14.720 More
00:21:15.100 Communication
00:21:15.800 About
00:21:16.140 The
00:21:16.340 Thing
00:21:16.540 That
00:21:16.680 Was
00:21:16.800 Censored
00:21:17.160 Now
00:21:17.920 That's
00:21:18.160 Unique
00:21:18.540 To
00:21:18.700 The
00:21:18.840 President
00:21:19.180 If
00:21:20.060 It
00:21:20.140 Happens
00:21:20.500 To
00:21:20.740 One
00:21:21.220 Of
00:21:21.360 Us
00:21:21.720 Then
00:21:22.040 That's
00:21:22.260 Just
00:21:22.400 The
00:21:22.560 End
00:21:22.680 Of
00:21:22.800 It
00:21:22.920 Where
00:21:23.160 Our

00:21:24.280 Are
00:21:24.520 Disappeared

00:21:28.880 A
00:21:29.000 Good
00:21:29.140 Fight
00:21:29.500 It's

00:21:31.440 To
00:21:31.500 Come
00:21:31.680 Out
00:21:31.980 But
00:21:32.320 I
00:21:32.640 Like
00:21:32.960 That

00:21:39.000 Trump
00:21:39.440 Didn't

00:21:40.760 Violence
00:21:41.380 Well
00:21:42.020 You
00:21:42.160 Know
00:21:42.260 That's
00:21:42.580 That's
00:21:43.200 An
00:21:43.320 Opinion
00:21:43.780 And
00:21:44.800 That's
00:21:45.060 The

00:22:09.280 He's
00:22:09.820 Too
00:22:10.040 Boring
00:22:10.420 Yeah
00:22:11.340 I
