00:00:08.000 Hey everybody come on in!

00:00:10.000 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams

00:00:14.000 I tried to recreate from memory the simultaneous sip preamble

00:00:20.000 I think I got most of it right but we're going to try it in a moment

00:00:25.000 I hope you're prepared

00:00:27.000 You know what you need

00:00:29.000 I think you do.

00:00:30.320 All you need is a cup or mugger, a glass, a canteen jugger, a flask, a goblet, chalice, or a stein, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:36.160 It's not the same as the usual.

00:00:38.900 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:40.700 I like coffee.

00:00:42.600 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:48.080 the thing that makes everything better, including systemic racism.

00:00:53.720 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:55.720 Go.

00:00:59.000 Don't you feel better already?

00:01:06.220 I know I do.

00:01:08.020 So let's talk about all the fun news.

00:01:12.240 All right?

00:01:13.440 There's lots of it.

00:01:15.240 Here's a little news bit that you probably completely missed,

00:01:19.100 because the news likes to focus on the important stuff,

00:01:23.020 such as what is the exact shape of the handle you use on your garage?

00:01:29.000 Important news like that.

00:01:31.300 But one of the things you might have missed is that the Trump administration won a big court victory

00:01:36.320 about hospital price transparency,

00:01:40.140 meaning that the hospital has to tell you what stuff costs before you go in,

00:01:45.480 so you can do a little shopping.

00:01:46.660 Oh, I forgot Tankard.

00:01:50.500 Yes, Tankard, Chalice, or Stein?

00:01:54.300 Yeah, I think that's right.

00:01:55.380 So, put these three things together.

00:02:00.020 You've got this victory in hospital price transparency.

00:02:04.000 So the Trump administration is going to allow you to shop better,

00:02:07.860 or at least we hope that's where it's going,

00:02:09.940 shop better for price for hospitals.

00:02:12.520 That should lower prices over time.

00:02:14.280 We also saw the change for telehealth, where doctors can practice across state lines.

00:02:23.000 In theory, if that becomes permanent, and I think it will,

00:02:26.580 there's more chance that it will than it won't,

00:02:29.120 that should lower the cost of a doctor visit,

00:02:32.660 both for the doctor and for the patient as well.

00:02:34.900 Now, I think there's something going on also with pharmaceutical costs.

00:02:40.340 I'm not up on that.

00:02:41.920 But imagine, if you will, that November comes,

00:02:45.080 and Trump can say the following.

00:02:47.880 We got you telehealth.

00:02:49.760 We got you hospital price transparency,

00:02:54.020 and we're doing something on drug pricing.

00:02:56.140 I don't know what that would be.

00:02:57.520 That's a pretty good story.

00:03:00.240 That's very different from I didn't do anything about health care.

00:03:03.600 It's very different.

00:03:07.360 So, that's good news.

00:03:09.180 Let's talk about Bubba Wallace, of course.

00:03:11.840 Of course.

00:03:14.780 So, we learned yesterday that the FBI looked into the issue of the noose

00:03:20.120 hanging in African-American driver Bubba Wallace's garage bay.

00:03:26.440 And the initial story was that some racist

00:03:30.720 put that noose there as a racist sign

00:03:34.900 to the most famous, I think, African-American NASCAR driver.

00:03:40.580 But here's the thing we just learned.

00:03:42.900 First of all, the noose had been there for months

00:03:44.980 before any of the garage bays had been assigned.

00:03:49.220 So, the FBI has concluded with certainty

00:03:53.080 that it was not any kind of a racist act

00:03:57.440 against Bubba Wallace.

00:03:59.900 It is a noose, or at least it's shaped like a noose,

00:04:03.300 but it's the rope that hangs down

00:04:05.300 that you pull the garage door closed with.

00:04:08.440 So, yeah, it's a noose,

00:04:11.360 but it was put there for a purpose.

00:04:14.100 Now, I have something to tell my black audience today.

00:04:21.860 Here's something you might not know about white people. 0.92

00:04:25.860 When we see a noose,

00:04:28.120 we don't think race.

00:04:31.820 When I see a noose,

00:04:33.760 I think of Clint Eastwood in Hang of High.

00:04:36.580 I almost always think of some kind of old Western 0.94

00:04:40.080 where bad white people are being hung. 0.96

00:04:45.500 So, if you would say, 0.97

00:04:48.820 and I think maybe Bubba Wallace might be wondering this,

00:04:51.820 because as he said after he learned

00:04:53.440 that it wasn't directed to him,

00:04:55.120 and he agrees,

00:04:56.540 he said, but it's still a noose.

00:04:58.640 I mean, it's still straight up,

00:05:00.620 it's a noose.

00:05:02.400 And I would only add to this,

00:05:04.660 that's probably exactly what it was.

00:05:07.660 Meaning that whoever tied it thought,

00:05:09.700 oh, I could tie it in a variety of ways,

00:05:13.180 I'll tie it in a noose.

00:05:14.940 But the thing you have to know 0.54

00:05:16.380 is that I don't think any white person

00:05:18.600 tying a rope into a noose,

00:05:21.960 it even crosses their mind

00:05:23.480 that there's any kind of a racial element to that act.

00:05:27.600 It just doesn't seem racial.

00:05:29.240 It literally seems like an old Western 0.93

00:05:30.960 where old white guys are getting hung.

00:05:33.140 We just don't connect the dots

00:05:35.760 the way the African American community would. 0.80

00:05:38.060 Now, maybe we should.

00:05:40.020 You know, that's a different question.

00:05:41.720 I'm just saying we don't.

00:05:43.920 Have I personally ever tied ropes

00:05:46.620 into nooses?

00:05:50.560 Yes.

00:05:52.660 Yes, I have.

00:05:53.980 I have.

00:05:54.840 I've spent quite a bit of my time

00:05:56.800 as a, you know,

00:05:58.420 a young kid, teenager,

00:06:00.220 when I was like in, you know,

00:06:01.860 tying ropes and, you know,

00:06:03.000 you'd just be practicing

00:06:04.260 different knots and stuff.

00:06:05.980 And you're a 12-year-old kid,

00:06:07.560 of course you're going to try to make a noose.

00:06:10.560 You know, of course I learned

00:06:11.760 how to do it properly.

00:06:12.700 Because it was just something

00:06:15.560 we saw on TV all the time.

00:06:16.980 Again, having nothing to do with race

00:06:18.560 because it was always, you know, 1.00

00:06:20.480 bad criminal white people 0.98

00:06:21.980 were being hung on TV. 0.99

00:06:26.600 So, here's what I'd say.

00:06:28.920 First of all,

00:06:29.700 Bubba Wallace is completely cleared,

00:06:32.340 in my opinion,

00:06:33.340 from having done anything wrong

00:06:35.200 or even being wrong.

00:06:36.860 Because it turns out

00:06:39.060 he never saw the noose.

00:06:41.020 It was reported to him

00:06:42.160 by Steve Phelps,

00:06:45.100 who's the NASCAR president,

00:06:46.840 who came to him crying.

00:06:49.460 And I assume,

00:06:51.160 I'm just going to assume

00:06:52.220 that the president of NASCAR

00:06:53.640 is a white guy.

00:06:54.740 So the white guy comes to Bubba

00:06:56.360 and says,

00:06:56.640 I've got to talk to you in person.

00:06:58.020 And he's the president of NASCAR

00:06:59.640 and he's crying.

00:07:00.480 He's so disturbed.

00:07:01.940 Like, genuinely disturbed.

00:07:03.820 And he tells him about this rope

00:07:05.620 that looked like a noose,

00:07:07.920 et cetera.

00:07:08.620 So Bubba Wallace never saw it.

00:07:11.160 He was taking it from somebody

00:07:13.080 who thought he had interpreted it correctly.

00:07:17.120 So I see nothing in this story

00:07:19.740 which we should hold against Bubba Wallace.

00:07:22.400 Everybody on board with that?

00:07:24.640 Bubba Wallace gets a free,

00:07:26.640 absolute free pass

00:07:27.960 because he was acting on what he was told

00:07:30.400 by a very credible source

00:07:32.360 that just turned out to be wrong.

00:07:34.420 But it was a credible source.

00:07:36.680 You can't hold it against him

00:07:38.220 for believing a credible source.

00:07:40.960 You can't hold it against him

00:07:42.400 for buying into a,

00:07:44.380 let's say,

00:07:45.180 a narrative

00:07:45.640 that is suggested by current events

00:07:48.620 because you know everybody

00:07:49.500 is thinking in race terms.

00:07:51.580 It wouldn't be a surprise.

00:07:53.600 Would you be surprised one bit

00:07:55.640 if some racist somewhere

00:07:57.920 did a racist thing in public

00:08:00.960 or to some public figure?

00:08:02.840 No, it wouldn't surprise you at all

00:08:05.060 because the temperature

00:08:06.960 of the country

00:08:07.460 has been turned up so much.

00:08:09.080 So Bubba Wallace,

00:08:10.280 you get an A-plus

00:08:11.820 for having nothing wrong.

00:08:15.880 You didn't do anything wrong

00:08:16.700 in this case.

00:08:18.280 In fact,

00:08:19.740 but I'll give him

00:08:21.140 one piece of advice.

00:08:23.180 The way Bubba

00:08:24.700 seems to be treating this

00:08:26.180 is that

00:08:27.880 he knows he's going to be mocked

00:08:30.700 for a hoax.

00:08:33.360 Although the hoax

00:08:34.280 was not his doing

00:08:35.320 and certainly not his intention.

00:08:37.100 But he knows

00:08:37.620 he'll be mocked for it

00:08:38.640 and his approach,

00:08:40.440 at least his initial approach,

00:08:42.280 was to,

00:08:43.300 you know,

00:08:43.620 act like

00:08:44.200 it doesn't bother him

00:08:45.280 and channel that energy

00:08:47.160 into his competitiveness.

00:08:48.740 Now that's a good TV answer.

00:08:51.620 You know,

00:08:51.780 I'm not going to let it bother me.

00:08:52.900 I'll put it into my sport.

00:08:54.740 Sounds good.

00:08:55.680 I mean,

00:08:55.940 you like your athletes

00:08:56.860 to say stuff like that.

00:08:58.600 But let me give him

00:08:59.680 some advice.

00:09:01.440 This is the way

00:09:02.200 I'd go with this.

00:09:04.200 I would say,

00:09:06.060 totally my bad.

00:09:09.220 So that's the first thing

00:09:10.120 you should do.

00:09:11.380 You should do,

00:09:12.260 you know,

00:09:12.980 it was my bad

00:09:14.880 even though I had

00:09:15.720 information that led me

00:09:17.280 to this conclusion.

00:09:18.500 I accept full responsibility.

00:09:20.380 That's number one.

00:09:21.720 And then here's the,

00:09:22.380 here's what he,

00:09:23.380 I would recommend

00:09:24.220 if I were advising him

00:09:25.500 for public relations.

00:09:27.300 I'd say,

00:09:28.180 let's look on the positive side.

00:09:30.420 Look what happened.

00:09:32.520 Seriously.

00:09:33.600 Look what happened.

00:09:35.060 He had immediate,

00:09:37.040 complete support

00:09:38.040 from everybody in NASCAR.

00:09:41.300 And I would say

00:09:42.280 that the country

00:09:42.900 was completely behind him.

00:09:44.320 And I don't think

00:09:44.920 there was much

00:09:45.440 in the way of

00:09:46.260 racial division.

00:09:48.680 There were lots of people

00:09:49.460 who thought the story

00:09:50.320 was fake

00:09:50.980 from the jump,

00:09:52.520 including me.

00:09:54.380 But we didn't really hold it.

00:09:56.340 You know,

00:09:56.660 we didn't have a,

00:09:58.080 we didn't have

00:09:58.920 a racial opinion

00:10:00.280 about that exactly.

00:10:01.580 We're sort of waiting

00:10:02.240 for the,

00:10:02.920 waiting for the information

00:10:04.080 to come out.

00:10:04.660 We knew there was

00:10:05.080 something wrong,

00:10:06.220 but it didn't feel

00:10:06.940 necessarily like a racist thing.

00:10:08.800 Maybe more like a mistake.

00:10:10.120 Like the Oakland

00:10:11.980 alleged nooses

00:10:13.360 turned out to be

00:10:14.120 just exercise equipment

00:10:15.380 put there

00:10:16.280 by an African-American man.

00:10:19.720 So,

00:10:21.120 somebody says

00:10:23.460 he saw a picture of it.

00:10:24.680 He did see a picture

00:10:25.460 of it eventually,

00:10:26.660 but I don't know

00:10:27.340 if he saw a picture

00:10:28.060 of it at the time.

00:10:29.360 And I know we didn't

00:10:30.120 get a picture of it,

00:10:31.340 so there's that.

00:10:33.060 Anyway,

00:10:33.360 so here's the point.

00:10:34.000 I think he should

00:10:36.080 look at the positive,

00:10:37.780 which is that

00:10:38.660 the way people reacted

00:10:40.040 was the way

00:10:40.940 you would want people

00:10:41.840 to react

00:10:42.480 if it had been real.

00:10:46.760 So,

00:10:47.380 I think his response was,

00:10:50.060 you know,

00:10:51.100 could have been better,

00:10:52.040 but he wasn't being advised

00:10:53.220 by a public relations person,

00:10:54.820 so he was just

00:10:56.020 being a real person.

00:10:57.160 Do not hold that

00:10:58.720 against him.

00:11:00.940 You think he

00:11:02.140 or they will apologize?

00:11:03.440 No, I don't.

00:11:04.980 No, no, no, no.

00:11:05.700 I'm not saying

00:11:06.280 that I think

00:11:07.320 they will apologize.

00:11:09.800 I'm telling you

00:11:10.580 the way I would handle it

00:11:11.840 if I wanted to come out of this

00:11:13.680 with the best reputation

00:11:14.820 is I would go right at it directly.

00:11:17.280 Totally wrong.

00:11:18.500 I was totally wrong,

00:11:19.860 but

00:11:20.080 look at the reaction.

00:11:22.420 I mean,

00:11:22.620 you're missing,

00:11:23.500 you're bearing the lead.

00:11:25.220 You know,

00:11:25.440 the small part of the story

00:11:26.500 is that I was wrong.

00:11:28.240 That's the small part

00:11:29.220 of the story.

00:11:29.680 The big part of the story,

00:11:31.300 look how well

00:11:32.260 people reacted to that.

00:11:34.440 That's how I would have played it.

00:11:36.860 All right.

00:11:39.980 And by the way,

00:11:40.780 I do think it was a noose

00:11:42.440 and I do think

00:11:43.480 it was tied

00:11:44.160 to resemble a noose.

00:11:45.720 But like I say,

00:11:46.640 it was probably just

00:11:47.280 done by somebody

00:11:48.140 who was

00:11:48.440 just tying knots.

00:11:52.040 Did I hear that

00:11:52.860 one of the three

00:11:53.480 presidential debates

00:11:54.480 has been canceled already

00:11:55.720 because of

00:11:56.520 coronavirus?

00:11:57.460 And I ask you,

00:11:59.780 is there any chance

00:12:01.280 there will be

00:12:01.720 any presidential debates?

00:12:04.040 What do you think?

00:12:05.880 Because the first one's canceled

00:12:07.460 and sure,

00:12:08.240 that could be actually

00:12:09.220 just legitimate

00:12:10.000 health concerns.

00:12:11.440 I mean,

00:12:11.760 why wouldn't there be?

00:12:13.100 You know,

00:12:13.360 it'd be weird

00:12:14.360 if you didn't have

00:12:15.960 health concerns

00:12:16.580 about that.

00:12:17.520 But don't you think

00:12:18.580 all three are going

00:12:19.260 to get canceled

00:12:19.920 because

00:12:21.200 the Biden team

00:12:22.820 really needs them

00:12:23.580 to get canceled?

00:12:24.200 Am I wrong

00:12:26.400 that if Joe Biden

00:12:27.580 goes into a debate

00:12:28.500 it's going to be

00:12:30.120 a bad situation

00:12:31.440 for him?

00:12:32.600 I think they have to

00:12:34.440 at least extend

00:12:35.680 the scare

00:12:36.360 long enough

00:12:38.480 to make the debates

00:12:39.340 not happen.

00:12:40.560 That's got to be

00:12:41.400 the key

00:12:42.100 trajectory

00:12:44.160 for,

00:12:44.940 or at least

00:12:45.420 the key strategy

00:12:46.400 for victory

00:12:47.060 for Biden.

00:12:48.120 Did you happen

00:12:49.080 to see

00:12:49.540 the god-awful

00:12:50.840 campaign ad

00:12:52.560 that Biden

00:12:53.380 just put out?

00:12:54.200 in which he's

00:12:54.780 sitting

00:12:55.100 in this

00:12:56.120 looks like

00:12:58.040 he's behind

00:12:58.740 some kind

00:12:59.380 of business

00:12:59.860 and like

00:13:00.480 an alley-like

00:13:01.560 place

00:13:02.580 where maybe

00:13:03.080 there's some

00:13:03.580 tables that

00:13:04.280 perhaps the

00:13:04.840 employees

00:13:05.440 smoke cigarettes

00:13:06.780 at when

00:13:07.620 they're not

00:13:07.960 working.

00:13:08.760 It didn't even

00:13:09.600 look like it

00:13:10.080 was a commercial

00:13:10.680 place.

00:13:11.200 It looked like

00:13:11.920 he was in a

00:13:12.340 back alley

00:13:12.880 with like

00:13:13.960 six people

00:13:14.640 with masks

00:13:15.340 and he had

00:13:15.820 his mask

00:13:16.260 on wrong

00:13:16.780 and he's

00:13:17.200 falling asleep

00:13:18.180 in his chair

00:13:18.760 and saying

00:13:20.860 a few generic

00:13:21.500 things.

00:13:22.680 And I thought

00:13:23.460 to myself

00:13:23.960 compare that

00:13:25.840 because you

00:13:26.800 know there

00:13:27.060 were advisors

00:13:27.760 right?

00:13:28.480 This is a

00:13:29.160 video that

00:13:29.600 they chose

00:13:30.300 to release.

00:13:32.120 They filmed

00:13:33.360 this.

00:13:33.980 The Biden

00:13:34.300 campaign

00:13:35.340 itself

00:13:35.960 filmed it

00:13:36.760 and they

00:13:38.160 chose to

00:13:38.820 release it.

00:13:39.740 Now when you

00:13:40.260 see it

00:13:40.640 you're going

00:13:40.960 to say

00:13:41.160 to yourself

00:13:41.620 are you

00:13:42.920 telling me

00:13:43.460 that professional

00:13:44.700 campaign

00:13:47.140 advisors

00:13:47.980 thought it

00:13:49.840 was a good

00:13:50.200 idea to

00:13:50.680 do it

00:13:51.100 there

00:13:51.320 the way

00:13:51.940 it was

00:13:52.160 done

00:13:52.420 with

00:13:52.640 just

00:13:52.820 this

00:13:53.000 sparse

00:13:53.400 crowd

00:13:53.860 and

00:13:54.100 this

00:13:54.260 dingy

00:13:54.900 terrible

00:13:56.560 optics.

00:13:58.820 Somebody

00:13:59.100 thought it

00:13:59.400 was a good

00:13:59.620 idea in the

00:13:59.980 first place

00:14:00.380 then they

00:14:00.760 filmed it

00:14:01.320 and then

00:14:02.280 after they

00:14:02.940 saw it

00:14:03.580 they still

00:14:04.780 thought it

00:14:05.120 was a good

00:14:05.480 idea to

00:14:05.860 make a

00:14:06.180 commercial

00:14:06.520 out of it.

00:14:08.220 Does that

00:14:08.620 feeling not

00:14:10.360 right?

00:14:11.440 Now compare

00:14:11.940 that if you

00:14:12.520 will to

00:14:13.440 what I told

00:14:13.960 you in the

00:14:14.580 past month

00:14:15.620 or so

00:14:16.000 Kamala

00:14:16.520 Harris

00:14:16.920 seems to

00:14:18.120 have improved

00:14:18.880 her messaging

00:14:19.740 and communication

00:14:20.740 game

00:14:21.220 extraordinarily

00:14:22.340 which is

00:14:24.120 a strong

00:14:25.020 tell for

00:14:26.180 some kind

00:14:26.780 of a world

00:14:27.440 class

00:14:28.020 advisor

00:14:28.760 or more

00:14:29.900 working with

00:14:31.280 her

00:14:31.480 because you

00:14:32.520 can see the

00:14:33.080 transformation

00:14:33.560 and you

00:14:34.160 don't get

00:14:34.600 that from

00:14:35.020 your sister

00:14:35.560 giving you

00:14:36.060 advice.

00:14:37.540 Whatever

00:14:37.900 happened with

00:14:38.700 Kamala

00:14:39.080 Harris

00:14:39.480 that's not

00:14:40.840 from you

00:14:41.480 know your

00:14:42.200 friend gave

00:14:42.760 you some

00:14:43.100 tips.

00:14:44.240 That's from

00:14:45.160 somebody

00:14:45.820 operating at

00:14:46.460 the highest

00:14:46.940 level who's

00:14:48.440 helping her

00:14:49.480 transform and

00:14:50.740 she's succeeding.

00:14:52.160 Now I had

00:14:53.320 predicted years

00:14:55.120 ago when

00:14:55.740 people said

00:14:56.200 no she's not

00:14:56.920 good enough

00:14:57.380 I said just

00:14:58.800 watch.

00:14:59.880 Watch what

00:15:00.360 happens when

00:15:00.900 you get close

00:15:01.440 to election

00:15:01.920 time and

00:15:02.420 watch her 0.84

00:15:02.800 transform because

00:15:04.340 I believe that

00:15:05.740 she could learn

00:15:08.280 skills quickly.

00:15:10.480 That seems to

00:15:11.140 be an indication

00:15:11.800 that she can

00:15:12.440 and I think

00:15:13.160 she did.

00:15:14.020 So here's

00:15:14.380 what we have.

00:15:14.900 we have

00:15:15.340 allegedly

00:15:16.660 the world

00:15:18.100 class

00:15:18.580 advisors for

00:15:19.860 Biden doing

00:15:20.540 the worst

00:15:21.080 job I've

00:15:21.660 ever seen

00:15:22.180 of campaign

00:15:23.260 advisors.

00:15:24.140 So bad

00:15:25.340 that it

00:15:26.860 almost

00:15:27.540 looks

00:15:29.080 intentional.

00:15:31.460 At the

00:15:32.200 same time

00:15:32.740 his

00:15:34.240 presumed

00:15:35.260 but not

00:15:35.820 confirmed

00:15:36.400 could

00:15:36.900 change.

00:15:38.100 But presumably

00:15:39.040 the vice

00:15:39.540 presidential pick

00:15:40.460 who many of

00:15:41.540 us believe

00:15:42.000 would be the

00:15:42.580 real shadow

00:15:43.420 president

00:15:43.900 is getting

00:15:45.580 the best

00:15:46.140 advice

00:15:46.760 you've ever

00:15:47.700 seen.

00:15:49.580 Is that a

00:15:50.280 coincidence?

00:15:51.360 That all the

00:15:51.900 good advice

00:15:52.480 is going to

00:15:53.040 the number

00:15:53.420 two spot?

00:15:55.240 Now it's

00:15:55.840 possible that

00:15:56.460 Biden just

00:15:56.980 doesn't take

00:15:57.540 advice.

00:15:58.860 We don't know

00:15:59.560 what's happening

00:15:59.980 behind the

00:16:00.480 scenes.

00:16:00.740 but if you

00:16:02.620 are looking

00:16:03.020 for a

00:16:03.420 scenario in

00:16:04.140 which the

00:16:04.500 number

00:16:04.780 two pick

00:16:05.420 which I'm

00:16:06.400 still guessing

00:16:07.000 will be

00:16:07.440 Kamala Harris

00:16:08.180 becomes in

00:16:09.780 voters minds

00:16:10.600 the real

00:16:11.060 number one

00:16:11.700 pick.

00:16:12.560 This is

00:16:13.320 maybe what

00:16:14.180 it would

00:16:14.380 look like.

00:16:15.480 It would

00:16:15.800 look like the

00:16:16.320 number two

00:16:16.820 pick is getting

00:16:17.400 all the good

00:16:17.900 advice.

00:16:18.500 The number

00:16:18.780 one pick

00:16:19.340 is just

00:16:20.120 sort of

00:16:20.520 being pushed

00:16:21.160 out there.

00:16:21.620 So that's

00:16:25.420 a little

00:16:25.660 foreshadowing.

00:16:28.740 There's

00:16:29.340 something

00:16:29.680 happening

00:16:30.180 with free

00:16:31.000 speech which

00:16:33.320 is a fair

00:16:34.760 statement which

00:16:35.460 you would all

00:16:35.940 agree with but

00:16:37.120 maybe not you

00:16:38.020 might not be

00:16:38.560 seeing what I'm

00:16:39.260 seeing.

00:16:40.680 So first

00:16:41.740 there's the

00:16:42.220 surface obvious

00:16:43.180 thing that

00:16:44.420 free speech is

00:16:45.200 being diminished

00:16:45.960 because well

00:16:48.340 let me give you

00:16:48.920 an example.

00:16:49.480 So Carpe

00:16:49.940 Donctum got

00:16:50.720 permanently

00:16:51.300 banned from

00:16:52.560 Twitter yesterday.

00:16:55.120 Permanently

00:16:55.760 banned.

00:16:57.140 Now Carpe

00:16:58.140 Donctum does

00:16:58.840 the memes that

00:16:59.600 President Trump

00:17:00.300 likes to

00:17:01.320 tweet so

00:17:02.980 he's very

00:17:04.140 strong in

00:17:04.900 terms of

00:17:05.380 messaging for

00:17:06.360 the Republican

00:17:07.380 side and

00:17:09.260 he just got

00:17:10.400 taken off the

00:17:11.080 board a few

00:17:12.080 months before

00:17:12.620 the election.

00:17:14.300 Now is

00:17:15.640 that a

00:17:16.340 coincidence?

00:17:17.900 Is it a

00:17:18.600 coincidence that

00:17:19.300 he's been

00:17:19.620 operating for

00:17:20.280 years?

00:17:21.300 But when we

00:17:21.880 get close to

00:17:22.880 the summer

00:17:23.460 before the

00:17:23.980 election that

00:17:25.100 he gets taken

00:17:25.680 off the

00:17:26.080 board?

00:17:27.380 Because he's

00:17:28.020 not the only

00:17:28.460 person being

00:17:28.960 taken off the

00:17:29.600 board, right?

00:17:30.680 You're seeing

00:17:31.340 some other

00:17:31.720 people getting

00:17:32.220 picked off.

00:17:34.640 Probably not a

00:17:35.480 coincidence.

00:17:36.360 Now I don't

00:17:37.060 know about the

00:17:37.640 details of why.

00:17:38.680 I think it had

00:17:39.280 to do with the 0.96

00:17:39.880 racist baby

00:17:41.200 meme that got

00:17:43.460 taken down.

00:17:44.200 The President

00:17:44.560 tweeted it.

00:17:45.260 It alleged to

00:17:46.440 show a racist 0.51

00:17:47.220 white baby 0.99

00:17:48.700 chasing a 1.00

00:17:49.180 black one. 0.95

00:17:50.140 But then you

00:17:50.580 see it in its

00:17:51.220 fullness and

00:17:52.300 you can see

00:17:52.680 that they're

00:17:53.000 best friends

00:17:53.540 and hugging

00:17:53.940 each other.

00:17:55.260 So there

00:17:56.260 was something

00:17:56.580 like a DMCA

00:17:57.840 violation.

00:17:59.520 In other

00:17:59.800 words, the

00:18:00.300 original video

00:18:01.120 was copyrighted.

00:18:03.920 But it's a

00:18:05.140 parody.

00:18:06.240 It's an

00:18:06.680 obvious parody.

00:18:07.460 And with

00:18:08.820 an obvious

00:18:09.400 parody, usually

00:18:10.920 the worst

00:18:11.460 you'd expect

00:18:12.160 is maybe

00:18:13.600 the tweet

00:18:14.100 would have

00:18:14.440 to be taken

00:18:14.940 down.

00:18:16.980 Maybe the

00:18:18.000 tweet would

00:18:18.400 have to be

00:18:18.840 taken down

00:18:19.420 and that's

00:18:20.060 it.

00:18:22.420 So it

00:18:23.020 seems like

00:18:23.420 there's

00:18:23.620 something a

00:18:24.040 little extreme.

00:18:26.220 Also, Slate

00:18:27.260 Star Codex

00:18:28.140 got taken

00:18:28.660 out by the

00:18:29.260 New York

00:18:29.540 Times.

00:18:30.780 So Slate

00:18:31.360 Star Codex

00:18:32.560 is a very

00:18:33.320 influential blog.

00:18:35.500 Not political,

00:18:36.480 but it may

00:18:37.580 have had some

00:18:38.080 content that

00:18:38.800 somebody didn't

00:18:39.400 like, possibly.

00:18:41.320 I don't know,

00:18:42.160 maybe he talked

00:18:42.640 about TDS or

00:18:43.500 something.

00:18:44.540 So that got

00:18:45.340 taken down.

00:18:46.120 He got doxed

00:18:47.000 and he took

00:18:47.480 it down himself,

00:18:48.340 basically.

00:18:48.960 So he deleted

00:18:49.560 it.

00:18:51.060 The pseudonominus,

00:18:54.640 what's the word?

00:18:56.640 The blogger who

00:18:57.960 does not use his

00:18:58.740 real name, took

00:18:59.980 down his own

00:19:00.520 blog when the

00:19:01.600 New York

00:19:02.200 Times decided to

00:19:03.240 dox him for

00:19:04.260 no good reason.

00:19:04.920 All right, so

00:19:06.780 that's happening.

00:19:08.040 So you know

00:19:08.480 that, and you

00:19:09.240 know that if

00:19:10.100 you say anything

00:19:10.780 that somebody

00:19:11.320 thinks is a 0.59

00:19:11.900 racist dog

00:19:12.920 whistle, even

00:19:13.580 if it isn't,

00:19:14.880 that you'll be

00:19:16.520 canceled.

00:19:17.580 So that's the

00:19:18.540 part you know.

00:19:19.360 You know that

00:19:20.040 people are being

00:19:20.780 canceled and

00:19:22.040 muffled and

00:19:22.640 muted in a

00:19:23.600 variety of

00:19:24.140 ways.

00:19:24.760 But here's the

00:19:25.420 part that I'm

00:19:26.140 seeing.

00:19:27.200 It has something

00:19:27.900 to do with that.

00:19:28.780 It has something

00:19:29.240 to do with the

00:19:29.880 Black Lives Matter

00:19:30.760 stuff.

00:19:31.760 for some

00:19:33.460 people, and I

00:19:35.020 seem to be one

00:19:35.780 of them, I

00:19:37.020 have increased

00:19:38.020 my free speech.

00:19:40.460 And I don't

00:19:41.180 think you saw

00:19:41.760 that coming.

00:19:43.060 For example, I'm

00:19:44.060 going to give you

00:19:44.440 an example of my

00:19:45.960 newly increased

00:19:47.060 free speech.

00:19:49.360 Black Lives Matter 0.99

00:19:50.440 is a racist 1.00

00:19:51.360 movement. 0.99

00:19:53.020 White privilege is 0.99

00:19:54.100 a racist

00:19:54.700 statement.

00:19:56.620 And reparations

00:19:58.000 is completely

00:19:58.620 racist.

00:19:59.160 Now, could I

00:20:01.200 have said that

00:20:01.660 a month ago?

00:20:03.180 Maybe, if I

00:20:04.260 really couched

00:20:05.140 it just carefully

00:20:06.180 and said it

00:20:07.820 just right and

00:20:09.440 all that.

00:20:10.540 But for some

00:20:11.380 reason, I can

00:20:11.940 say that now.

00:20:13.060 And I feel like I

00:20:13.840 couldn't say it a

00:20:14.420 few weeks ago.

00:20:16.660 The president

00:20:17.520 keeps calling

00:20:18.660 the coronavirus

00:20:19.840 Kung Flu.

00:20:21.960 Now, he of

00:20:22.860 course knows that

00:20:24.020 he's being called

00:20:24.740 a racist for

00:20:25.880 calling it Kung

00:20:26.580 Flu because

00:20:27.400 that's, you

00:20:28.420 know, suggestive

00:20:30.120 of Asian

00:20:30.800 culture, and

00:20:32.300 therefore, it's

00:20:33.100 racist.

00:20:34.100 Now, even

00:20:36.020 after he's told

00:20:36.920 that, he keeps

00:20:37.820 doing it.

00:20:39.280 It feels to me

00:20:40.520 that the president

00:20:41.340 is very consciously

00:20:42.760 making sure that

00:20:44.520 the field of what

00:20:45.660 free speech allows

00:20:46.880 doesn't diminish.

00:20:49.300 Now, I know his

00:20:49.920 critics are going

00:20:50.560 to say, no, no,

00:20:51.100 no, he's just

00:20:51.680 riling up the

00:20:52.760 crowd with racist

00:20:54.180 dog whistles. 0.61

00:20:55.060 That's all there

00:20:55.560 is to it.

00:20:59.100 We'll get rid

00:20:59.980 of the give-it-a-rest

00:21:00.820 dude fellow.

00:21:02.680 There you go.

00:21:04.360 Put you

00:21:04.740 out of your 0.98

00:21:04.940 misery. 0.97

00:21:06.260 Blocked.

00:21:09.060 And so, it

00:21:11.240 makes me wonder

00:21:12.280 if the

00:21:13.160 Republicans are

00:21:14.240 about to

00:21:15.220 discover a

00:21:16.520 new form of

00:21:17.660 free speech,

00:21:19.580 or at least

00:21:21.940 simply just

00:21:23.140 take it.

00:21:24.600 Just take

00:21:25.560 free speech,

00:21:26.540 and just do

00:21:27.140 it.

00:21:27.500 I watched a

00:21:28.020 speech by

00:21:28.600 Matt Gaetz.

00:21:31.100 I guess he

00:21:31.640 was probably

00:21:32.680 either speaking

00:21:33.880 before or after

00:21:34.480 the president

00:21:35.020 at the same

00:21:35.640 event last

00:21:36.320 night.

00:21:37.460 And Matt Gaetz

00:21:38.220 said directly

00:21:39.200 that white 0.95

00:21:40.300 privilege is a

00:21:41.540 racist strategy

00:21:43.180 to make white 1.00

00:21:44.320 people shut up 1.00

00:21:45.100 and do what 0.81

00:21:46.460 they're told.

00:21:47.700 And I thought

00:21:48.480 to myself, I

00:21:49.620 don't know if he

00:21:50.260 could have said

00:21:50.740 that a month

00:21:51.200 ago, could

00:21:52.420 he?

00:21:53.100 And did you

00:21:53.740 know, I

00:21:54.720 looked at the

00:21:55.680 homepages of

00:21:56.540 CNN and Fox

00:21:57.340 News, and I

00:21:58.300 don't even think

00:21:58.840 it's a headline.

00:22:00.640 Can you imagine

00:22:01.260 that?

00:22:02.180 There was a

00:22:03.040 prominent national

00:22:06.120 politician who

00:22:07.440 said in public

00:22:08.240 in a prepared

00:22:09.040 speech that

00:22:10.380 white privilege 0.75

00:22:11.520 is a racist 0.58

00:22:12.800 term that's

00:22:14.300 just being used

00:22:15.180 to manipulate 0.94

00:22:16.960 white people, 0.84

00:22:18.200 basically.

00:22:18.540 I don't think

00:22:20.880 he could have

00:22:21.260 said that a

00:22:21.680 month ago.

00:22:22.500 Am I wrong?

00:22:23.560 I'd like to see

00:22:24.100 in the comments

00:22:24.580 whether you

00:22:24.940 think something

00:22:25.500 is changing

00:22:26.300 and it's

00:22:27.340 changing in

00:22:27.840 both directions

00:22:28.540 at the same

00:22:29.180 time, which

00:22:30.580 is that some

00:22:31.220 people are

00:22:31.600 getting less

00:22:32.140 free speech

00:22:32.740 and being

00:22:33.040 canceled, while

00:22:34.340 there are other

00:22:34.760 people who are

00:22:35.260 saying, all 1.00

00:22:36.500 right, fuckers, 1.00

00:22:37.300 game on, which 1.00

00:22:39.360 is what I'm

00:22:39.840 saying.

00:22:40.640 I'm saying, okay, 1.00

00:22:42.380 bastards, game 1.00

00:22:44.040 on. 1.00

00:22:44.340 If you want

00:22:46.240 to bring more

00:22:47.080 attention to

00:22:47.760 me, just

00:22:49.740 bring it on.

00:22:52.280 Now, I think

00:22:53.520 that part of

00:22:54.540 the divide is

00:22:57.840 that what is

00:22:58.380 it that, if

00:22:59.540 you've been

00:22:59.900 watching Matt

00:23:00.440 Gates for a

00:23:00.900 while, what is

00:23:01.560 it that Matt

00:23:02.100 Gates and I

00:23:03.360 would have in

00:23:04.100 common?

00:23:05.180 I want to see

00:23:05.740 if you can pick

00:23:06.360 out what is

00:23:08.340 different about

00:23:10.060 the two of us

00:23:10.820 from other

00:23:12.360 situations.

00:23:13.000 Now, mostly

00:23:14.400 we have things

00:23:15.040 not in common,

00:23:15.820 I would guess.

00:23:16.620 Like if you

00:23:17.040 make a list,

00:23:18.460 here's the list

00:23:19.380 of all things

00:23:19.920 about Matt

00:23:20.440 Gates, here's

00:23:21.580 the list about

00:23:22.120 all things me.

00:23:23.660 It would be

00:23:24.040 mostly different.

00:23:25.240 But there's

00:23:25.640 one thing on

00:23:26.260 that list that

00:23:27.300 we're very

00:23:27.960 similar on that

00:23:30.340 would tell you

00:23:30.900 why we have a

00:23:31.680 little bit more

00:23:32.240 free speech, I

00:23:33.360 think, than

00:23:34.820 other people.

00:23:36.200 And I'm waiting

00:23:36.820 for the delay in

00:23:37.680 the comments to

00:23:38.320 see if anybody

00:23:38.860 gets it.

00:23:42.200 Here's what we

00:23:42.900 have in common.

00:23:45.680 We're unusually

00:23:46.760 good communicators.

00:23:49.280 Now, if you

00:23:50.260 are the side

00:23:50.900 who's trying to

00:23:51.640 silence the

00:23:52.380 other side, you

00:23:54.320 don't want to

00:23:54.820 give attention to

00:23:56.140 their best

00:23:56.660 communicators.

00:23:58.160 In other words,

00:23:58.800 if somebody goes

00:23:59.420 after Matt

00:24:00.000 Gates and says,

00:24:00.680 hey, Matt

00:24:01.180 Gates, you

00:24:02.460 said, and I

00:24:03.140 can't believe you

00:24:03.720 said this, that

00:24:05.020 white privilege is 0.91

00:24:05.820 actually a racist

00:24:06.760 statement, explain

00:24:09.780 yourself.

00:24:10.200 And then you

00:24:11.780 know what he

00:24:12.160 would do?

00:24:13.360 On national

00:24:14.360 television, he

00:24:16.040 would explain

00:24:16.700 himself so well

00:24:17.980 that whoever

00:24:19.240 thought they were

00:24:19.920 trying to trap

00:24:20.700 him would say, 1.00

00:24:21.800 oh, damn, that 0.99

00:24:23.360 didn't work. 1.00

00:24:24.460 That did not

00:24:25.520 work.

00:24:27.640 He would take

00:24:29.480 that accusation,

00:24:31.160 ball it up, and

00:24:32.460 shove it so far

00:24:33.420 back up their 1.00

00:24:34.040 asses that they 1.00

00:24:35.500 would never want

00:24:36.160 to talk to him

00:24:36.820 again.

00:24:37.160 Am I right?

00:24:38.740 If you've watched

00:24:39.380 him enough in

00:24:39.960 public, you know

00:24:41.160 that he's basically

00:24:42.140 untrappable on

00:24:43.680 camera.

00:24:44.600 His camera skills

00:24:45.940 are just unworldly.

00:24:48.240 I mean, I've

00:24:48.540 never seen, I

00:24:49.640 can't say I've

00:24:50.080 never seen anything

00:24:50.640 like it, but who

00:24:52.080 would you compare

00:24:52.900 his on-camera

00:24:55.080 verbal skills to?

00:24:58.300 I don't know.

00:25:00.100 I don't know.

00:25:00.960 It'd be tough.

00:25:03.020 He's kind of all

00:25:04.100 by himself at the

00:25:04.880 moment.

00:25:05.140 Now, I'm, for

00:25:08.500 different reasons,

00:25:10.140 you know, I don't

00:25:10.540 have the same type

00:25:11.800 of oratorical

00:25:15.100 skills that he

00:25:15.800 does, but I'm

00:25:16.920 also unusually

00:25:17.900 persuasive.

00:25:19.640 And if I get

00:25:21.140 mad, I'm not

00:25:21.880 going to back

00:25:22.300 down.

00:25:23.780 It's sort of

00:25:24.440 baked into my

00:25:25.320 personality.

00:25:25.940 I can't change

00:25:26.460 that.

00:25:28.020 So I would be

00:25:28.880 the worst person

00:25:29.960 to give attention

00:25:30.700 to.

00:25:31.480 And I think

00:25:32.220 that that might

00:25:33.180 be, you

00:25:34.640 know, why I

00:25:35.460 have a little

00:25:35.940 extra free

00:25:36.720 speech.

00:25:37.680 Maybe it'll

00:25:38.260 come back and

00:25:38.880 bite me in the 1.00

00:25:39.540 ass later. 1.00

00:25:40.620 So I think 0.93

00:25:41.900 you're going to

00:25:42.200 see some kind

00:25:42.740 of a bounce

00:25:43.320 back effect

00:25:44.040 where, you

00:25:46.460 know, the

00:25:46.880 president and

00:25:48.280 other prominent

00:25:48.920 people are going

00:25:49.540 to say, hey,

00:25:50.540 how about this?

00:25:52.820 How about we

00:25:53.620 say whatever the 0.99

00:25:54.420 fuck we want 1.00

00:25:55.340 and you just 1.00

00:25:56.660 shut up about 0.65

00:25:57.360 it and just 0.89

00:25:58.540 listen?

00:25:58.860 because we

00:26:00.740 gave you free

00:26:01.480 speech.

00:26:02.660 We listened

00:26:03.480 to you.

00:26:06.180 And let me

00:26:06.880 say, if I

00:26:08.780 had to

00:26:09.120 speculate about

00:26:10.880 why this is,

00:26:11.960 it would be

00:26:12.400 this.

00:26:13.740 What would

00:26:15.160 President Trump,

00:26:16.600 Matt Gaetz,

00:26:17.280 and I all

00:26:18.080 have in

00:26:18.420 common,

00:26:20.240 specifically on

00:26:21.340 the topic of

00:26:22.940 George Floyd's

00:26:24.240 tragic death?

00:26:26.720 The one thing

00:26:27.700 we all have in

00:26:28.280 common, and

00:26:29.020 pretty much

00:26:30.320 most of the

00:26:30.740 world, is

00:26:31.820 that we all

00:26:32.100 have the same

00:26:32.540 reaction to it,

00:26:33.220 like, this is

00:26:33.740 horrible, this

00:26:34.500 looks like a

00:26:35.660 crime, you

00:26:37.020 know, we

00:26:37.280 can't have

00:26:37.700 this in our

00:26:38.520 country.

00:26:40.020 So I

00:26:41.820 think it

00:26:42.200 helped that

00:26:43.360 so many

00:26:43.840 people were

00:26:44.520 at least

00:26:45.140 mentally on

00:26:47.880 the same

00:26:48.280 side with

00:26:49.360 the people

00:26:50.040 who would

00:26:50.280 normally be

00:26:50.840 our critics,

00:26:52.240 if you

00:26:52.860 imagined it

00:26:53.400 as a

00:26:53.740 political

00:26:54.100 take sides.

00:26:54.700 why is

00:26:58.200 everybody

00:26:58.520 saying

00:26:58.940 Flynn?

00:27:01.640 Flynn got

00:27:02.320 the writ

00:27:02.780 of

00:27:03.140 mandamus.

00:27:04.360 Well, I

00:27:04.940 don't know

00:27:05.200 what that

00:27:05.540 is, but

00:27:06.480 it sounds

00:27:06.980 like something

00:27:07.460 I need to

00:27:07.920 look up

00:27:08.300 right now.

00:27:10.280 Fox News

00:27:10.980 would have

00:27:11.320 this, right?

00:27:12.840 Not yet.

00:27:15.040 I guess it

00:27:15.740 takes them a

00:27:16.200 while to write

00:27:16.700 that up.

00:27:17.100 Let's say

00:27:17.640 Flynn News.

00:27:20.440 Let's see

00:27:22.620 some Flynn

00:27:23.060 News.

00:27:25.140 Dismiss

00:27:25.680 criminal

00:27:26.080 case

00:27:26.640 against

00:27:27.520 Michael

00:27:28.120 Flynn.

00:27:28.880 Appeals

00:27:29.400 court

00:27:29.800 orders

00:27:33.460 judge to

00:27:34.160 dismiss

00:27:34.660 criminal

00:27:35.200 case

00:27:35.780 against

00:27:37.280 Michael

00:27:37.660 Flynn.

00:27:39.720 The

00:27:40.120 decision

00:27:40.480 blocks

00:27:40.820 Sullivan

00:27:42.780 from holding

00:27:43.460 a hearing

00:27:43.900 to scrutinize

00:27:44.760 the Justice

00:27:45.280 Department's

00:27:46.020 decision.

00:27:46.520 Well, thank

00:27:47.000 you.

00:27:47.660 Why in

00:27:48.080 the world

00:27:48.400 was

00:27:48.780 Justice

00:27:49.880 Sullivan

00:27:50.580 forming a

00:27:51.820 new form

00:27:52.280 of government

00:27:52.860 to look

00:27:53.440 at his

00:27:53.720 own

00:27:53.900 decisions?

00:27:54.560 That never

00:27:54.880 made sense.

00:27:55.740 So the

00:27:55.960 judge has

00:27:57.460 blocked

00:27:57.740 that.

00:28:02.040 All right.

00:28:02.720 Do I

00:28:02.940 understand

00:28:03.300 what this

00:28:03.660 means,

00:28:04.040 though?

00:28:04.740 It blocks

00:28:05.120 you from

00:28:06.040 to dismiss

00:28:07.420 the criminal

00:28:07.940 case.

00:28:09.440 Does

00:28:09.960 dismiss

00:28:10.400 the criminal

00:28:10.860 case mean

00:28:11.360 it's all

00:28:11.740 gone?

00:28:13.160 Is that

00:28:13.460 what's

00:28:13.660 happening?

00:28:14.720 Is the

00:28:15.400 case

00:28:15.680 completely

00:28:16.180 dismissed

00:28:16.640 now?

00:28:17.980 Well,

00:28:18.780 let's

00:28:19.900 say it

00:28:20.240 is.

00:28:21.360 Let's

00:28:21.680 say it

00:28:21.900 is.

00:28:23.320 Let's

00:28:23.880 say that

00:28:24.340 the

00:28:24.520 General

00:28:24.840 Flynn

00:28:25.320 case

00:28:26.180 is

00:28:26.400 dismissed.

00:28:27.900 Does

00:28:28.460 that

00:28:28.620 call

00:28:28.880 for a

00:28:29.220 simultaneous

00:28:29.680 sip?

00:28:30.940 Do

00:28:31.360 any

00:28:31.620 of you

00:28:31.900 have

00:28:32.120 any

00:28:32.320 beverage

00:28:32.720 left

00:28:33.200 in

00:28:34.100 your

00:28:34.280 vessel?

00:28:36.000 Grab

00:28:36.420 it.

00:28:37.400 Grab

00:28:37.880 it.

00:28:39.120 Get

00:28:39.440 your

00:28:39.640 cup,

00:28:40.320 your

00:28:40.480 mug,

00:28:41.380 your 0.93

00:28:41.600 vessel.

00:28:42.820 This

00:28:43.280 will

00:28:43.520 be

00:28:43.700 a

00:28:43.860 rare

00:28:44.120 secondary

00:28:45.960 simultaneous

00:28:46.960 sip.

00:28:47.460 this

00:28:48.360 one to

00:28:48.700 General

00:28:49.060 Flynn

00:28:49.380 and all

00:28:51.300 the people

00:28:51.780 who fought

00:28:52.640 for him,

00:28:53.580 all the

00:28:53.980 people who

00:28:54.800 advocated

00:28:55.380 for him.

00:28:57.200 Justice.

00:28:59.040 Drink. 1.00

00:29:05.360 Damn. 1.00

00:29:06.840 That feels 1.00

00:29:07.480 good.

00:29:09.140 That feels

00:29:10.080 good.

00:29:10.660 Somebody

00:29:10.960 says

00:29:11.320 Carpe

00:29:11.700 Donctum,

00:29:12.300 who got

00:29:12.720 banned from

00:29:13.260 Twitter,

00:29:13.680 should join

00:29:14.180 locals.

00:29:14.700 He is

00:29:16.140 on

00:29:16.320 locals.

00:29:17.160 So I'm

00:29:17.860 on the

00:29:18.360 locals

00:29:18.740 platform,

00:29:19.620 which also

00:29:20.000 helps me

00:29:20.560 to be a

00:29:20.940 little bit

00:29:21.260 less

00:29:21.520 cancelable

00:29:22.220 because I

00:29:22.800 have a

00:29:23.260 second

00:29:23.460 place to

00:29:23.920 go.

00:29:24.860 It's a

00:29:25.200 subscription

00:29:25.740 service.

00:29:27.960 I hope

00:29:28.540 to be

00:29:28.840 talking to

00:29:29.480 Carpe

00:29:29.840 soon about

00:29:31.600 his

00:29:32.040 account on

00:29:33.320 locals.

00:29:33.720 and we'll

00:29:39.620 make a

00:29:40.180 little bit

00:29:40.480 more noise

00:29:41.060 about that.

00:29:42.000 So you

00:29:42.500 can see the

00:29:42.980 importance of

00:29:43.740 having a

00:29:45.120 platform for

00:29:46.900 people who

00:29:47.380 get deplatformed

00:29:48.660 other places.

00:29:50.060 All right,

00:29:50.400 well, gosh,

00:29:51.780 that General

00:29:52.180 Flynn stuff,

00:29:54.720 how do the

00:29:57.220 Democrats

00:29:57.560 process that?

00:29:59.340 If you're a 0.88

00:29:59.840 Democrat and

00:30:00.440 you're looking

00:30:00.760 at General

00:30:01.260 Flynn,

00:30:01.600 the case

00:30:03.760 just got

00:30:04.240 dropped

00:30:04.880 for being

00:30:06.000 a complete

00:30:06.620 fabrication

00:30:07.360 and it's

00:30:08.300 obvious it's

00:30:08.840 all part of

00:30:09.260 the coup.

00:30:11.280 How do

00:30:11.880 Democrats

00:30:13.160 process that?

00:30:14.140 I just

00:30:14.420 don't know.

00:30:17.840 All right,

00:30:19.160 here's some

00:30:19.960 other things

00:30:20.340 going on.

00:30:22.300 Did you

00:30:23.040 watch the

00:30:23.620 Project

00:30:24.340 Veritas

00:30:25.020 undercover

00:30:26.600 tape of

00:30:27.400 Facebook

00:30:27.980 employees

00:30:28.980 admitting

00:30:30.020 perfectly

00:30:31.540 candidly

00:30:32.420 and freely

00:30:33.260 that they

00:30:34.300 do

00:30:34.680 illegally,

00:30:36.700 meaning

00:30:37.000 not

00:30:37.600 compatible

00:30:39.520 with

00:30:39.940 company

00:30:40.340 standards,

00:30:41.220 that they

00:30:41.720 violate

00:30:42.120 their own

00:30:42.540 company

00:30:42.860 standards

00:30:43.300 to

00:30:43.980 block

00:30:45.440 Trump

00:30:47.200 supporting

00:30:47.700 messages?

00:30:49.140 They actually

00:30:50.240 signed it

00:30:50.660 directly.

00:30:51.560 They bragged

00:30:52.160 about it.

00:30:52.620 They laughed

00:30:53.000 about it.

00:30:54.340 It's lots

00:30:55.320 of people.

00:30:56.280 It's widespread

00:30:57.060 and it's

00:30:57.860 so acceptable

00:30:59.780 that the

00:31:01.160 employees who

00:31:01.820 were involved

00:31:02.400 saw no

00:31:03.460 trouble at

00:31:04.000 all speaking

00:31:04.640 freely about

00:31:05.400 it in front

00:31:06.400 of other

00:31:06.720 people.

00:31:07.620 It wasn't

00:31:08.260 even something

00:31:08.900 like a dirty

00:31:09.540 little secret

00:31:10.120 that they

00:31:10.560 kept to

00:31:10.920 themselves.

00:31:11.740 They happily

00:31:12.380 talked about

00:31:13.820 suppressing

00:31:16.320 conservative

00:31:17.060 voices on

00:31:17.800 Facebook.

00:31:18.100 Now,

00:31:20.300 that should

00:31:21.040 be the

00:31:21.420 end of

00:31:21.800 Facebook

00:31:22.200 in terms

00:31:23.020 of an

00:31:23.440 unregulated

00:31:24.180 entity,

00:31:25.080 shouldn't it?

00:31:26.720 We'll see

00:31:27.520 if that

00:31:27.800 happens.

00:31:28.520 Somebody's

00:31:28.880 asking me

00:31:29.300 if locals

00:31:30.000 is app

00:31:30.740 or web

00:31:31.340 based.

00:31:32.240 The app

00:31:32.920 just came

00:31:33.620 out a

00:31:34.480 couple weeks

00:31:34.880 ago,

00:31:35.380 so it is

00:31:36.120 both app

00:31:36.840 and web

00:31:37.480 based.

00:31:37.840 Anyway,

00:31:43.920 so enough

00:31:44.400 on that.

00:31:46.640 Facebook,

00:31:47.380 I think,

00:31:48.120 is going

00:31:48.540 to get

00:31:48.740 regulated.

00:31:50.260 I think

00:31:50.700 that Twitter,

00:31:52.760 you know

00:31:53.280 how brains

00:31:53.960 work?

00:31:54.420 We associate

00:31:54.920 things even

00:31:55.740 if they

00:31:56.140 should not

00:31:56.560 be associated.

00:31:57.500 I talk

00:31:57.960 about this

00:31:58.360 all the

00:31:58.660 time.

00:31:59.400 The fact

00:31:59.900 that there's

00:32:00.340 undercover

00:32:00.820 video of

00:32:02.520 a social

00:32:03.080 media platform

00:32:04.060 in which the

00:32:05.220 employees are

00:32:05.780 saying straight

00:32:06.680 up,

00:32:07.840 we screw 0.99

00:32:08.760 the Republicans 0.95

00:32:09.620 on our

00:32:10.140 platform.

00:32:11.700 People will

00:32:12.580 assume it's

00:32:13.300 true at

00:32:13.920 Twitter.

00:32:15.000 Is that

00:32:15.300 fair to

00:32:15.620 say?

00:32:16.200 So we do

00:32:16.960 not have

00:32:17.600 an undercover

00:32:18.220 tape showing

00:32:19.180 Twitter people

00:32:20.460 saying exactly

00:32:21.440 what the

00:32:21.840 Facebook people

00:32:22.500 are saying.

00:32:24.020 But your

00:32:24.800 common sense

00:32:25.620 says,

00:32:26.500 okay,

00:32:26.860 if it's

00:32:27.100 happening in

00:32:27.540 one place

00:32:28.080 and it's

00:32:28.860 so widespread,

00:32:30.460 it's got to

00:32:31.140 be happening

00:32:31.560 in other

00:32:31.880 places.

00:32:32.500 It's just

00:32:32.840 got to

00:32:33.120 be.

00:32:34.120 So I

00:32:36.440 think the

00:32:37.100 possibility

00:32:37.860 of the

00:32:38.380 social media

00:32:39.020 platforms

00:32:39.580 not being

00:32:40.320 regulated,

00:32:42.280 I don't

00:32:42.680 know.

00:32:43.240 I think it

00:32:43.740 went to

00:32:44.060 zero,

00:32:44.720 alas,

00:32:45.760 Congress is

00:32:47.200 controlled by

00:32:48.480 the Democrats.

00:32:49.700 So free

00:32:50.400 speech will

00:32:50.980 end,

00:32:51.880 actually

00:32:52.760 officially,

00:32:53.520 yeah,

00:32:53.960 free speech

00:32:54.520 will end

00:32:54.880 on November

00:32:55.340 3rd.

00:32:56.600 If,

00:32:56.960 and by the

00:32:58.760 way,

00:32:59.260 that's a

00:32:59.640 really powerful

00:33:00.340 statement,

00:33:01.140 isn't it?

00:33:02.200 Free speech

00:33:03.020 will actually

00:33:03.780 end on

00:33:04.300 November

00:33:04.660 3rd if

00:33:06.380 Democrats

00:33:07.400 control Congress

00:33:08.420 and the

00:33:08.940 White House.

00:33:10.500 Because,

00:33:11.520 now that we

00:33:12.180 know with

00:33:12.740 no doubt,

00:33:13.980 any uncertainty

00:33:15.300 has been

00:33:15.740 removed,

00:33:16.840 that Facebook

00:33:17.600 is suppressing

00:33:19.100 speech on

00:33:20.640 the right,

00:33:22.060 well, you

00:33:22.560 know that

00:33:22.900 Democrats are

00:33:23.500 not going to

00:33:23.820 change that

00:33:24.320 because that

00:33:24.780 works for

00:33:25.260 them.

00:33:26.400 So if

00:33:27.060 Democrats are

00:33:27.700 not going to

00:33:28.100 change the

00:33:28.800 social media

00:33:29.400 from suppressing

00:33:31.040 voices on

00:33:31.720 the right,

00:33:33.060 is it not

00:33:33.980 fair to say

00:33:34.520 that free

00:33:35.160 speech will

00:33:35.680 die on

00:33:36.160 November 3rd

00:33:37.660 under the

00:33:38.180 condition that

00:33:38.860 Democrats have

00:33:39.560 enough control

00:33:40.260 after that?

00:33:41.300 That's a fair

00:33:41.820 statement,

00:33:42.240 isn't it?

00:33:42.900 But it's also

00:33:43.440 very persuasive

00:33:45.060 because it's

00:33:48.240 true.

00:33:49.180 If it weren't

00:33:50.040 true, it

00:33:50.400 wouldn't be

00:33:50.720 persuasive.

00:33:51.900 There's a

00:33:52.520 Rasmussen poll

00:33:53.420 that says that

00:33:55.500 black Americans

00:33:56.240 are the

00:33:56.600 demographic group

00:33:57.680 most concerned

00:33:59.320 about a

00:34:00.000 shortage of

00:34:00.500 police officers.

00:34:02.240 So of all

00:34:02.840 the demographic

00:34:03.460 groups, the

00:34:04.820 black population

00:34:07.660 of this country 0.98

00:34:08.520 is the most

00:34:10.040 concerned about

00:34:10.880 wait, wait,

00:34:11.300 wait, we're

00:34:11.840 not going to

00:34:12.100 have enough

00:34:12.400 police?

00:34:14.340 Is that a

00:34:15.140 surprise?

00:34:16.380 Shouldn't be.

00:34:18.100 Should that

00:34:18.720 be a surprise?

00:34:20.360 No.

00:34:21.800 Nope.

00:34:22.960 It should not

00:34:23.440 be a surprise.

00:34:25.760 I have a

00:34:26.540 question for

00:34:27.020 you.

00:34:27.220 Why is it

00:34:27.600 that only

00:34:27.960 Republicans

00:34:28.500 worry about

00:34:29.260 mail-in

00:34:29.720 votes?

00:34:30.500 Being rigged?

00:34:32.660 I haven't

00:34:33.420 tried to

00:34:33.820 weigh in

00:34:34.240 on that

00:34:34.680 question too

00:34:36.120 much because

00:34:37.000 there are

00:34:38.060 some system

00:34:40.420 details that I

00:34:41.420 don't know and

00:34:42.100 it would be easy

00:34:43.180 to imagine that I

00:34:44.120 understood this

00:34:44.960 mail-in ballot

00:34:46.240 issue and I

00:34:47.020 don't.

00:34:47.400 And I'm not

00:34:47.780 sure anybody

00:34:48.260 does.

00:34:49.480 Let me state

00:34:50.420 that more

00:34:51.500 emphatically.

00:34:52.700 Nobody understands

00:34:53.660 the mail-in ballot

00:34:54.520 issue.

00:34:55.440 it's a whole

00:34:56.840 bunch of

00:34:57.220 confused stuff

00:34:58.420 that we

00:34:59.280 conflate

00:34:59.740 together and

00:35:00.520 we treat

00:35:01.380 one thing

00:35:01.900 like a

00:35:02.260 different

00:35:02.480 thing.

00:35:03.140 And so

00:35:03.460 I don't

00:35:03.760 think there's

00:35:04.440 anybody who

00:35:05.900 actually

00:35:06.440 understands

00:35:07.320 the real

00:35:08.420 risk.

00:35:09.080 But the

00:35:09.500 thing I

00:35:09.780 don't

00:35:10.000 understand is

00:35:10.620 why only

00:35:11.020 Republicans are

00:35:11.800 worried about

00:35:12.240 it.

00:35:12.860 Because are

00:35:13.720 Republicans under

00:35:14.480 the impression

00:35:15.020 that there are

00:35:16.360 no local

00:35:17.180 voting

00:35:18.280 precincts in

00:35:19.340 which Republican

00:35:20.120 operatives would

00:35:20.920 also try to

00:35:21.680 cheat with

00:35:22.600 ballots?

00:35:23.140 It feels

00:35:25.680 like the

00:35:26.060 cheating could

00:35:26.600 be about

00:35:26.980 equal.

00:35:28.120 Why would

00:35:28.620 one cheat

00:35:29.220 more effectively

00:35:30.040 than another?

00:35:30.760 I don't

00:35:30.940 know.

00:35:31.840 So there's

00:35:32.380 something about

00:35:32.880 the whole

00:35:33.160 issue I don't

00:35:33.760 understand.

00:35:34.960 So let me

00:35:35.860 say as

00:35:36.180 clearly as

00:35:36.760 possible that

00:35:38.000 I'm not

00:35:38.460 agreeing with

00:35:39.600 the Republican

00:35:40.280 position on

00:35:41.260 this.

00:35:41.780 But I'm

00:35:42.200 also not

00:35:42.640 disagreeing.

00:35:43.640 I think if

00:35:44.220 you have

00:35:44.540 certainty on

00:35:45.560 this issue

00:35:46.060 either direction,

00:35:47.380 if you're

00:35:47.900 positive that

00:35:49.020 mail ballots

00:35:50.780 are safe,

00:35:52.080 you're not

00:35:52.580 a credible

00:35:53.100 person.

00:35:54.320 If you're

00:35:55.080 positive that

00:35:56.040 they're unsafe

00:35:57.780 all the way to

00:35:58.640 the point of

00:35:59.240 changing an

00:35:59.780 election result,

00:36:00.880 well I don't

00:36:01.320 think you're

00:36:01.700 entirely credible

00:36:02.700 there either

00:36:03.540 unless I

00:36:05.200 learned a lot

00:36:05.760 more about

00:36:06.200 this.

00:36:07.080 So when I

00:36:07.820 say credible,

00:36:08.420 I don't mean

00:36:08.800 wrong.

00:36:10.000 I always make

00:36:10.620 that distinction.

00:36:11.600 I'm saying if

00:36:12.160 you're trying to

00:36:13.700 be an informed

00:36:14.540 citizen and

00:36:15.920 you're just

00:36:16.220 looking at

00:36:16.620 what you

00:36:17.060 know, and

00:36:18.620 that's all

00:36:18.960 you know is

00:36:19.540 what you're

00:36:19.920 being told,

00:36:20.980 I wouldn't

00:36:21.800 believe either

00:36:22.560 side, Republicans

00:36:23.960 or Democrats,

00:36:25.240 on the topic

00:36:25.920 of mail-in

00:36:27.680 ballots.

00:36:28.500 One of them

00:36:29.020 is right.

00:36:30.240 There's no

00:36:30.700 doubt about

00:36:31.100 that.

00:36:31.840 One of those

00:36:32.460 two sides

00:36:32.940 is right.

00:36:33.600 They're either

00:36:33.980 a big problem,

00:36:35.160 at least a

00:36:35.740 risk, or

00:36:37.060 they're not.

00:36:38.560 I don't know

00:36:40.020 which one it

00:36:40.520 is.

00:36:40.960 I honestly

00:36:41.480 don't.

00:36:42.240 If you sample

00:36:43.060 both sides

00:36:43.620 of the media,

00:36:44.800 you will hear

00:36:45.400 arguments that

00:36:46.380 if you don't

00:36:47.660 have your own

00:36:48.220 knowledge about

00:36:48.780 the field,

00:36:49.360 and I don't,

00:36:50.300 I hear the

00:36:50.800 arguments and

00:36:51.340 I go,

00:36:51.580 sounds pretty

00:36:54.180 strong,

00:36:54.980 and then I'll

00:36:55.680 hear the

00:36:55.960 argument from

00:36:56.480 the other

00:36:56.780 side, and

00:36:57.180 they'll say,

00:36:58.160 sounds pretty

00:36:59.880 strong.

00:37:01.680 Somebody says,

00:37:02.520 don't play 0.99

00:37:02.940 dumb, don't 1.00

00:37:04.180 you play 1.00

00:37:04.620 dumb with 1.00

00:37:05.080 me. 0.99

00:37:05.860 Well, no,

00:37:06.380 I'll tell you

00:37:06.780 what I do

00:37:07.240 know.

00:37:08.040 I do know

00:37:08.800 that there

00:37:10.500 should be a

00:37:11.300 million ways

00:37:12.080 that you

00:37:12.820 could cheat

00:37:14.900 with mail-in

00:37:15.640 ballots.

00:37:16.480 We'd all

00:37:16.880 agree with

00:37:17.300 that, right?

00:37:17.680 There must

00:37:18.480 be a million

00:37:18.960 ways you

00:37:19.480 could try.

00:37:20.920 But, here's

00:37:21.820 the argument

00:37:22.200 on the other

00:37:22.700 side.

00:37:24.560 You could

00:37:25.180 audit them

00:37:25.980 to know if

00:37:27.140 there was

00:37:27.380 any cheating.

00:37:28.800 So you

00:37:29.220 could, for

00:37:29.580 example,

00:37:30.200 now I don't

00:37:30.480 know if

00:37:30.680 anybody will

00:37:31.040 do this,

00:37:31.420 but let's

00:37:31.700 say that

00:37:32.000 they suspected

00:37:32.760 some cheating

00:37:33.320 in some area.

00:37:34.480 They could

00:37:34.840 say, we're

00:37:35.220 not going to

00:37:35.540 check every

00:37:36.020 ballot, it's

00:37:36.660 too hard,

00:37:37.560 but we can

00:37:38.000 check every

00:37:38.660 hundred or

00:37:40.140 whatever is the

00:37:40.700 right number

00:37:41.140 to get a

00:37:41.520 sample.

00:37:42.280 We'll check

00:37:42.760 every hundred,

00:37:43.900 we'll go to

00:37:44.520 the actual

00:37:44.920 voter and say,

00:37:45.780 is this

00:37:46.500 you?

00:37:46.880 Show me

00:37:47.160 your license.

00:37:47.860 Did you

00:37:48.120 really cast

00:37:48.920 a vote this

00:37:49.380 way?

00:37:50.360 And if the

00:37:51.020 person says

00:37:51.540 yes, you

00:37:52.240 say, okay,

00:37:52.820 well we

00:37:53.140 sampled a

00:37:53.660 lot and

00:37:54.080 everything we

00:37:54.540 sampled

00:37:54.820 looked good.

00:37:56.240 Now if

00:37:56.820 you sample

00:37:57.400 and it

00:37:58.120 doesn't look

00:37:58.600 good, you

00:37:59.100 would have

00:38:00.280 determined that

00:38:01.000 there's voter

00:38:01.520 fraud?

00:38:02.060 Absolutely.

00:38:03.740 So here's

00:38:04.260 the question.

00:38:06.880 Could voter

00:38:07.680 fraud happen?

00:38:09.140 I think

00:38:09.560 obviously yes.

00:38:11.580 Would it be

00:38:12.400 detected if it

00:38:13.400 happened?

00:38:14.340 I would say

00:38:15.180 obviously

00:38:15.740 it could

00:38:16.160 be.

00:38:17.360 Obviously

00:38:17.760 it could

00:38:18.140 be.

00:38:19.060 Now that

00:38:19.400 doesn't mean

00:38:19.820 that they'll

00:38:20.120 have a

00:38:20.400 process in

00:38:21.040 place to

00:38:21.500 do that.

00:38:22.920 And that's

00:38:23.240 the part

00:38:23.640 where very

00:38:24.580 quickly I

00:38:25.220 get into

00:38:25.520 the areas

00:38:25.920 where I

00:38:26.260 don't

00:38:26.440 understand.

00:38:27.040 It's like,

00:38:27.240 well, how

00:38:28.440 many people

00:38:28.860 are involved?

00:38:29.620 And haven't

00:38:29.900 we always

00:38:30.300 had mail-in

00:38:30.980 ballots?

00:38:31.500 I thought

00:38:31.780 we always

00:38:32.140 had them.

00:38:33.260 What's

00:38:33.680 really different

00:38:34.260 about it?

00:38:35.160 Is it the

00:38:35.560 fact there

00:38:35.880 are so many

00:38:36.400 but they

00:38:36.820 do have

00:38:37.220 an identifier

00:38:38.780 in each

00:38:39.240 one?

00:38:40.180 Can China 0.97

00:38:41.200 print up a

00:38:41.820 bunch of

00:38:42.100 extra ones?

00:38:42.780 And if they

00:38:43.120 did, how

00:38:44.160 would China 0.77

00:38:44.520 print up

00:38:44.980 extra ones

00:38:45.700 if they

00:38:46.560 need a

00:38:46.900 unique

00:38:47.200 identifier

00:38:47.720 for each

00:38:48.240 person they're

00:38:48.720 mailed to?

00:38:49.300 How could

00:38:49.560 they do

00:38:49.820 that?

00:38:50.640 So if

00:38:51.880 you think

00:38:52.400 you have

00:38:52.800 a good

00:38:54.660 firm opinion

00:38:55.440 on this,

00:38:56.180 I would

00:38:56.700 suggest you

00:38:57.280 probably

00:38:57.700 shouldn't.

00:38:58.440 know, if

00:39:01.200 I had to

00:39:02.060 know, part

00:39:04.420 of your

00:39:04.840 intuition

00:39:05.680 is that

00:39:07.360 it's very

00:39:07.740 cheatable,

00:39:08.440 and I

00:39:08.620 agree with

00:39:08.980 that.

00:39:09.700 My

00:39:10.000 intuition

00:39:10.640 is also

00:39:11.860 that it's

00:39:12.380 cheatable

00:39:12.880 and you

00:39:14.000 could get

00:39:14.340 away with

00:39:14.700 it.

00:39:15.460 But I

00:39:16.540 don't know

00:39:16.860 enough to

00:39:17.280 confirm that.

00:39:18.220 But if

00:39:18.480 your instinct

00:39:19.020 is probably

00:39:19.840 a bad

00:39:20.980 idea, you

00:39:22.040 might not

00:39:22.340 be wrong.

00:39:22.680 sometimes I

00:39:29.380 try to

00:39:29.660 teach you

00:39:30.120 joke

00:39:30.560 techniques,

00:39:31.500 you know,

00:39:31.820 how to

00:39:32.160 do humor

00:39:32.640 better.

00:39:33.520 And I'm

00:39:33.940 going to

00:39:34.120 read a

00:39:34.780 really funny

00:39:35.820 tweet, but

00:39:37.500 it's only

00:39:37.880 because I

00:39:38.360 want you to

00:39:38.840 understand the

00:39:39.540 technique.

00:39:40.820 So the

00:39:41.200 technique here,

00:39:42.000 and I've

00:39:42.240 told you this

00:39:42.660 before, is

00:39:43.260 putting things

00:39:43.900 together that

00:39:44.580 don't quite

00:39:45.160 fit.

00:39:46.500 So here's a

00:39:47.260 list of

00:39:47.960 things by

00:39:50.260 Deanna

00:39:51.040 Lorraine.

00:39:51.820 I guess she

00:39:52.600 ran against

00:39:53.080 Pelosi at

00:39:53.720 one point

00:39:54.060 and lost.

00:39:55.420 So I

00:39:55.960 don't know

00:39:56.200 anything about

00:39:56.640 her except

00:39:57.420 that she's

00:39:58.180 a Republican

00:39:59.120 and she

00:39:59.740 tweeted this.

00:40:01.120 And I'm

00:40:01.940 not saying I

00:40:02.520 agree with

00:40:03.140 anything on

00:40:03.680 the list,

00:40:04.220 okay?

00:40:05.240 This is

00:40:05.860 somebody else's

00:40:06.740 tweet.

00:40:07.300 I'm just

00:40:07.560 reading it.

00:40:09.640 Bubba

00:40:10.020 Wallace isn't

00:40:10.620 a victim.

00:40:11.160 Sean King

00:40:11.700 isn't black.

00:40:12.620 Joe Biden

00:40:13.240 isn't winning.

00:40:14.160 CNN isn't

00:40:15.600 news.

00:40:16.380 Elizabeth

00:40:16.860 Warren isn't

00:40:17.680 Indian.

00:40:18.240 Colin

00:40:18.560 Kaepernick

00:40:19.120 isn't a

00:40:19.540 hero.

00:40:20.380 Beto

00:40:20.840 O'Rourke

00:40:21.320 isn't

00:40:21.680 Latino.

00:40:22.400 Don

00:40:22.680 Lemon

00:40:22.960 isn't

00:40:23.400 a

00:40:23.620 journalist.

00:40:24.520 Greta

00:40:24.820 Thunberg

00:40:25.400 isn't

00:40:25.820 a

00:40:25.980 scientist.

00:40:26.900 Meghan

00:40:27.160 Markle

00:40:27.580 isn't

00:40:27.900 a

00:40:28.040 princess.

00:40:29.620 Now,

00:40:30.260 I laughed

00:40:30.640 for five

00:40:31.100 minutes over

00:40:31.560 that.

00:40:32.480 Now,

00:40:32.740 I'm not

00:40:33.040 saying I

00:40:33.400 agree with

00:40:33.940 her points,

00:40:34.740 but the

00:40:35.340 way they're

00:40:35.700 organized is

00:40:36.440 hilarious,

00:40:37.120 especially with

00:40:37.840 Meghan Markle

00:40:38.600 isn't a

00:40:39.260 princess at

00:40:39.800 the end,

00:40:40.420 because that

00:40:40.940 was such a

00:40:41.480 throwaway,

00:40:42.820 just nothing

00:40:43.540 but an

00:40:43.880 insult,

00:40:44.220 that the

00:40:49.280 whole thing

00:40:49.780 makes sense

00:40:50.980 but it

00:40:51.280 doesn't

00:40:51.540 make sense.

00:40:53.080 There are

00:40:53.600 too many

00:40:53.980 things that

00:40:54.780 individually

00:40:55.300 you'd have

00:40:55.820 to think

00:40:56.180 about a

00:40:56.540 little bit,

00:40:56.940 but because

00:40:57.820 they don't

00:40:58.680 fit together

00:40:59.280 in a list,

00:41:00.320 it just

00:41:00.900 makes you

00:41:01.280 giggle.

00:41:01.640 and I

00:41:02.380 can't stop

00:41:02.840 giggling

00:41:03.120 when I

00:41:03.460 look at

00:41:03.780 it.

00:41:04.100 Not

00:41:04.380 because I

00:41:04.800 agree with

00:41:05.200 it.

00:41:05.860 It's

00:41:06.140 simply the

00:41:06.680 organization

00:41:07.200 of the

00:41:07.820 thoughts,

00:41:09.100 so this

00:41:10.080 technique of

00:41:11.240 putting a

00:41:12.840 bunch of

00:41:13.160 things together

00:41:13.760 is hilarious.

00:41:14.820 Now,

00:41:16.060 there's also

00:41:17.020 a persuasion

00:41:17.800 technique baked

00:41:18.880 into this,

00:41:19.800 and it's a

00:41:20.480 little different

00:41:20.880 from the

00:41:21.340 laundry list

00:41:22.000 persuasion.

00:41:23.180 Laundry list

00:41:23.940 persuasion is

00:41:24.640 where you

00:41:24.920 don't have a

00:41:25.500 strong reason

00:41:27.580 for your

00:41:27.980 argument.

00:41:28.900 So instead

00:41:29.400 of a strong

00:41:30.180 argument,

00:41:30.520 you just

00:41:32.780 list lots

00:41:33.400 of weak

00:41:33.800 ones.

00:41:34.340 That's the

00:41:34.740 laundry list

00:41:35.400 persuasion.

00:41:36.820 Now,

00:41:37.060 lots of

00:41:37.480 weak arguments

00:41:38.200 should add

00:41:39.140 up to

00:41:39.440 nothing,

00:41:40.560 because

00:41:40.800 individually

00:41:41.280 they're all

00:41:41.900 nothing.

00:41:43.180 So if you

00:41:43.600 add a bunch

00:41:44.040 of nothings

00:41:44.540 together,

00:41:44.980 it should

00:41:45.140 still be

00:41:45.540 nothing.

00:41:46.220 But our

00:41:46.700 brains don't

00:41:47.480 hear it that

00:41:47.960 way.

00:41:48.640 If you hear

00:41:49.160 a laundry list

00:41:49.860 of reasons,

00:41:50.380 you think to

00:41:50.780 yourself,

00:41:51.100 well,

00:41:51.640 I recognize

00:41:52.560 that one

00:41:52.940 of those

00:41:53.220 things on

00:41:53.600 that list

00:41:53.900 isn't true,

00:41:54.480 but there's

00:41:54.800 so many

00:41:55.060 things on

00:41:55.420 the list,

00:41:56.420 there must

00:41:56.820 be something

00:41:57.260 on that list

00:41:57.840 that's true.

00:41:58.360 What

00:42:00.640 Deanna

00:42:02.140 Lorraine did

00:42:02.920 in her tweet,

00:42:03.640 which was

00:42:04.140 funny,

00:42:04.580 it's a

00:42:04.880 different kind

00:42:05.400 of list,

00:42:06.500 I'll call it

00:42:07.440 a Sean Hannity

00:42:08.340 list.

00:42:10.360 Here's what a

00:42:11.160 Sean Hannity

00:42:11.840 list is.

00:42:13.360 For example,

00:42:14.580 there'll be

00:42:14.900 five things on

00:42:15.580 the list,

00:42:16.620 four of them

00:42:17.360 are things

00:42:17.860 that you know

00:42:18.380 to be true,

00:42:19.700 or let's

00:42:21.180 say you're

00:42:21.500 politically

00:42:22.020 aligned with

00:42:23.040 Sean Hannity,

00:42:24.200 so you're

00:42:24.580 sure they're

00:42:25.060 true even if

00:42:25.680 they're not.

00:42:26.020 So there'll

00:42:26.720 be four

00:42:27.040 things you're

00:42:27.600 pretty sure

00:42:28.320 are true,

00:42:29.320 and the

00:42:29.960 fifth thing

00:42:30.520 is sort

00:42:32.320 of an

00:42:32.580 opinion-y

00:42:33.120 thing.

00:42:34.300 And so if

00:42:34.740 he gives

00:42:35.020 you four

00:42:35.500 things that

00:42:35.980 you know

00:42:36.280 are true,

00:42:36.820 or you

00:42:37.200 believe are

00:42:37.660 true,

00:42:38.140 and then the

00:42:38.760 fifth thing

00:42:39.180 you're

00:42:39.500 undecided,

00:42:40.780 but it's

00:42:41.200 in the list

00:42:41.740 with all

00:42:42.080 those other

00:42:42.460 things you

00:42:42.880 believe,

00:42:43.620 it's very

00:42:44.280 persuasive.

00:42:45.840 All right?

00:42:47.360 So if you

00:42:50.120 wanted to

00:42:50.640 persuade somebody

00:42:51.500 that some

00:42:52.620 of these

00:42:52.940 things were

00:42:53.440 true,

00:42:53.840 let's say,

00:42:54.900 you know,

00:42:55.160 some of

00:42:55.420 them you'd

00:42:55.720 agree with,

00:42:56.220 right?

00:42:56.660 We know

00:42:57.120 now that

00:42:57.640 Bubba Wallace

00:42:58.380 isn't a

00:42:58.900 victim,

00:42:59.580 but then she

00:43:00.340 throws in

00:43:00.860 Sean King 0.72

00:43:01.460 isn't black.

00:43:02.620 You know what

00:43:03.400 she's talking

00:43:04.000 about,

00:43:04.480 because he's

00:43:04.940 criticized by 0.94

00:43:05.780 the black

00:43:06.120 community for

00:43:06.740 that as

00:43:07.200 well,

00:43:08.160 but is

00:43:09.040 that exactly

00:43:10.060 true?

00:43:11.340 I mean,

00:43:11.760 I haven't

00:43:12.120 checked his

00:43:12.580 DNA,

00:43:13.980 so it feels

00:43:14.520 like,

00:43:14.860 I don't

00:43:15.520 know,

00:43:16.360 Joe Biden

00:43:16.980 isn't winning?

00:43:18.000 Well,

00:43:18.220 if you're

00:43:18.440 Republican,

00:43:19.060 maybe you

00:43:19.460 think that.

00:43:20.020 CNN isn't

00:43:21.380 news,

00:43:21.680 you agree.

00:43:22.680 Elizabeth Warren

00:43:23.540 isn't Native 1.00

00:43:24.320 American,

00:43:24.920 you agree.

00:43:25.580 Colin Kaepernick

00:43:26.280 isn't a hero.

00:43:27.340 If you're

00:43:27.740 Republican,

00:43:28.280 you agree.

00:43:28.820 And then it

00:43:30.280 gets to that

00:43:31.120 last one,

00:43:31.760 Meghan Markle

00:43:32.380 isn't a

00:43:32.800 princess.

00:43:34.820 By the time

00:43:35.560 you get there,

00:43:36.140 it's just

00:43:36.420 silly, 0.71

00:43:37.400 but it's 0.99

00:43:37.900 funny.

00:43:38.720 Anyway,

00:43:38.980 I just wanted

00:43:39.340 to call out

00:43:39.760 the technique.

00:43:40.600 You don't

00:43:40.760 have to agree

00:43:41.200 with any of

00:43:41.620 the points.

00:43:42.980 Did you see

00:43:43.800 the Stephen

00:43:45.400 Colbert

00:43:45.840 interview with

00:43:47.000 John Bolton?

00:43:50.100 If you saw

00:43:51.040 it,

00:43:51.340 there's a

00:43:51.640 very interesting

00:43:52.280 phenomena that

00:43:53.620 I can't

00:43:54.280 determine,

00:43:54.920 yes or

00:43:55.300 no,

00:43:56.980 if this is

00:43:57.760 true,

00:43:58.220 but I will

00:43:59.160 assert it as

00:44:00.120 my strong

00:44:01.000 professional

00:44:01.600 opinion.

00:44:02.580 So this is

00:44:03.520 professional

00:44:04.220 opinion.

00:44:05.740 It would be

00:44:06.380 hard to know

00:44:06.900 if it's a

00:44:07.500 fact.

00:44:08.620 And it's

00:44:09.560 this.

00:44:10.360 You should

00:44:10.900 look at my

00:44:11.400 tweet in

00:44:12.140 which I

00:44:12.500 showed the

00:44:12.920 picture of

00:44:13.720 Colbert and

00:44:15.160 Bolton side

00:44:16.420 by side.

00:44:18.000 And it's

00:44:18.900 hard to show

00:44:19.320 you things on

00:44:19.760 the screen

00:44:20.120 here.

00:44:21.000 So,

00:44:21.280 well,

00:44:21.540 maybe I

00:44:21.820 can do it.

00:44:22.200 Let's see.

00:44:23.280 And what I

00:44:24.000 wanted you to

00:44:24.480 see is

00:44:24.920 Colbert's

00:44:25.580 expression

00:44:26.120 compared to

00:44:27.360 Bolton's.

00:44:28.260 Now,

00:44:28.900 it's a still

00:44:29.580 photograph,

00:44:30.240 and those can

00:44:30.920 be really

00:44:31.320 misleading,

00:44:32.020 because if

00:44:32.320 they catch

00:44:32.700 you at a

00:44:33.000 bad moment,

00:44:34.180 the still

00:44:34.560 photograph

00:44:35.020 doesn't look

00:44:35.560 anything like

00:44:36.180 the way you

00:44:36.660 were if you

00:44:37.380 were moving.

00:44:38.420 But in

00:44:38.980 this case,

00:44:39.420 the still

00:44:39.760 photograph

00:44:40.260 captured exactly

00:44:41.540 what I did

00:44:42.160 see when I

00:44:43.040 watched the

00:44:43.520 live video.

00:44:44.820 And that

00:44:45.460 is,

00:44:45.820 there's a

00:44:46.360 look on

00:44:46.960 Colbert's

00:44:47.500 face,

00:44:48.520 which if

00:44:48.980 you're a

00:44:49.320 trained

00:44:49.660 hypnotist,

00:44:50.660 and you've

00:44:51.080 seen if

00:44:51.600 you've

00:44:51.940 triggered lots

00:44:53.240 of people

00:44:53.620 into cognitive

00:44:54.480 dissonance,

00:44:55.520 there is a

00:44:56.220 physical look.

00:44:58.020 And Colbert

00:44:58.480 has it the

00:44:59.460 whole way

00:44:59.840 through the

00:45:00.140 interview.

00:45:00.400 And I'm

00:45:01.080 going to try

00:45:01.440 to teach

00:45:01.860 you what

00:45:02.220 the look

00:45:02.600 is like,

00:45:03.500 all right?

00:45:07.540 Let's

00:45:07.940 do,

00:45:09.100 maybe I

00:45:10.380 can show

00:45:10.720 it to you,

00:45:11.220 because if

00:45:11.500 I don't

00:45:11.680 show it to

00:45:12.060 you,

00:45:12.200 it won't

00:45:12.340 be nearly

00:45:12.800 as powerful.

00:45:14.300 So I'm

00:45:14.620 going to

00:45:14.760 call it

00:45:15.080 up on the

00:45:15.420 screen here.

00:45:16.280 We'll do

00:45:16.760 our best.

00:45:18.120 Let's see

00:45:18.640 if this

00:45:19.160 screen looks

00:45:19.720 good on

00:45:20.140 your screen.

00:45:21.480 Let me

00:45:21.820 make sure

00:45:22.200 I don't

00:45:22.420 have anything

00:45:22.820 else on

00:45:23.200 my screen

00:45:23.660 that's

00:45:23.920 embarrassing.

00:45:25.180 I don't

00:45:25.700 think I

00:45:26.040 do.

00:45:29.800 So look

00:45:31.200 at these

00:45:31.480 two faces.

00:45:33.380 Now one

00:45:34.000 of them

00:45:34.380 is a

00:45:35.200 disgruntled

00:45:35.940 fired

00:45:36.540 employee,

00:45:37.560 and one

00:45:38.100 of them

00:45:38.400 is experiencing

00:45:39.320 cognitive

00:45:40.060 dissonance.

00:45:41.740 Bolton

00:45:41.980 looks like

00:45:42.500 a guy

00:45:42.840 who's just

00:45:43.300 a disgruntled

00:45:44.700 employee.

00:45:45.560 That is a

00:45:46.120 completely

00:45:46.500 normal look

00:45:47.500 for a guy

00:45:48.340 who just

00:45:48.700 isn't too

00:45:49.120 happy,

00:45:50.100 and he's

00:45:50.360 expressing it.

00:45:51.980 Colbert,

00:45:53.020 look at

00:45:54.040 his eyes,

00:45:54.660 and look

00:45:55.840 at the

00:45:56.080 smile.

00:45:57.360 Do you

00:45:57.580 see they

00:45:57.860 don't fit?

00:45:59.180 The look

00:45:59.900 of the

00:46:00.140 eyes is

00:46:00.920 crazy,

00:46:02.100 and the 0.69

00:46:02.500 smile doesn't

00:46:03.260 fit the

00:46:03.660 eyes.

00:46:06.220 That's

00:46:06.700 cognitive

00:46:07.120 dissonance.

00:46:09.260 That's

00:46:09.740 cognitive

00:46:10.140 dissonance.

00:46:11.720 So,

00:46:13.000 and let me

00:46:13.560 see if I

00:46:13.880 can do an

00:46:14.220 impression for

00:46:14.940 you on

00:46:15.360 here.

00:46:15.820 Sorry for

00:46:16.340 the people

00:46:16.660 listening to

00:46:17.220 this.

00:46:17.520 You're

00:46:17.700 going to

00:46:17.840 miss it.

00:46:18.140 I'll try

00:46:18.360 to explain

00:46:18.800 it.

00:46:21.020 I'll give

00:46:21.880 you two

00:46:22.220 looks.

00:46:22.980 One is

00:46:23.480 me,

00:46:23.760 concentrating

00:46:25.620 on something

00:46:26.540 that's right

00:46:27.000 in front

00:46:27.360 of me.

00:46:28.260 And then

00:46:28.480 the second

00:46:28.900 one will

00:46:29.380 be,

00:46:30.200 it looks

00:46:31.000 like I'm

00:46:31.380 in the

00:46:31.620 room,

00:46:32.000 but my

00:46:32.300 mind will

00:46:32.920 be in a

00:46:33.660 hallucination.

00:46:34.980 So the

00:46:35.580 first one

00:46:36.000 is an

00:46:37.160 ordinary

00:46:37.500 person who's

00:46:38.380 not

00:46:38.600 hallucinating,

00:46:39.700 who's just

00:46:40.080 looking at

00:46:40.520 something in

00:46:40.960 front of

00:46:41.240 them.

00:46:41.620 So look

00:46:42.000 at my

00:46:42.220 expression.

00:46:45.440 You can

00:46:46.080 tell from

00:46:46.500 my expression

00:46:47.020 that I'm

00:46:47.420 present.

00:46:48.620 I'm just

00:46:48.860 looking at

00:46:50.540 you.

00:46:51.540 Nothing

00:46:51.840 going on.

00:46:52.300 Now imagine

00:46:55.020 that I'm

00:46:55.500 recounting to

00:46:56.180 you a 0.57

00:46:56.440 story of

00:46:57.640 President

00:46:58.060 Trump,

00:46:59.060 who in

00:46:59.420 your mind

00:47:00.100 has created

00:47:01.260 this imaginary

00:47:03.080 monster that's

00:47:05.380 completely

00:47:05.820 divorced from

00:47:06.580 reality.

00:47:07.440 Now imagine

00:47:07.880 that you've

00:47:08.220 gone four

00:47:08.740 years knowing

00:47:10.000 that he

00:47:10.340 would destroy

00:47:11.080 the country,

00:47:12.140 but everything

00:47:12.940 that can be

00:47:13.580 measured is

00:47:14.260 better.

00:47:15.960 Now of

00:47:16.520 course we

00:47:16.820 took a hit

00:47:17.280 with the

00:47:17.560 coronavirus,

00:47:18.300 etc.

00:47:18.480 But nobody

00:47:19.700 would argue

00:47:20.240 that Trump

00:47:20.860 did not

00:47:22.340 preside over

00:47:23.800 a strong

00:47:24.220 economy with

00:47:24.960 good unemployment.

00:47:26.300 Nobody will

00:47:26.840 argue that it's

00:47:27.660 not going to

00:47:28.040 come back

00:47:28.540 fast, at

00:47:29.440 least as a

00:47:29.960 percentage,

00:47:30.680 even though it

00:47:31.120 might take us

00:47:31.620 a while to

00:47:31.960 get back to

00:47:32.380 the top.

00:47:33.260 No one would

00:47:33.800 argue that the

00:47:34.460 stock market

00:47:35.040 is low.

00:47:35.820 Nobody would

00:47:36.340 argue that ISIS

00:47:37.260 still exists in

00:47:38.340 terms of holding

00:47:38.900 territory.

00:47:40.120 Nobody would

00:47:40.600 argue that we

00:47:41.180 haven't pulled

00:47:41.960 down our

00:47:42.420 troop numbers.

00:47:44.680 I mean, you

00:47:44.940 could just

00:47:45.700 keep going.

00:47:46.260 And the

00:47:47.200 only thing

00:47:47.560 they'd have

00:47:47.940 is maybe

00:47:48.300 he ran up

00:47:48.760 the national

00:47:49.260 debt, which

00:47:50.220 is not the

00:47:50.680 strongest argument

00:47:51.400 for Democrats,

00:47:52.320 because they

00:47:52.800 would too.

00:47:54.160 So imagine

00:47:55.520 you're living

00:47:56.200 in a world

00:47:56.780 in which

00:47:57.440 everything you

00:47:58.140 believe about

00:47:58.760 the world,

00:48:00.360 four years

00:48:01.180 has disproven.

00:48:02.820 It's disproven

00:48:03.720 after four years.

00:48:04.820 Nothing went

00:48:05.500 wrong.

00:48:06.560 Everything that

00:48:07.220 you could measure

00:48:07.880 went right.

00:48:09.040 So you have

00:48:09.740 to actually

00:48:10.160 hallucinate

00:48:10.860 something wrong,

00:48:11.720 which they do.

00:48:12.720 They imagine

00:48:13.280 that the

00:48:13.600 president's inner

00:48:14.460 thoughts are

00:48:15.040 wrong.

00:48:16.260 So let me

00:48:16.860 now do an

00:48:17.340 impression of

00:48:18.800 somebody who's

00:48:19.500 in cognitive

00:48:20.500 dissonance.

00:48:21.300 I'll take

00:48:21.560 off my

00:48:21.900 glasses.

00:48:24.160 And they're

00:48:25.320 having a

00:48:26.100 hallucination

00:48:26.740 while they're

00:48:27.340 talking to you.

00:48:28.020 It looks a

00:48:28.380 little like

00:48:28.660 this.

00:48:29.720 And then

00:48:29.960 the president

00:48:31.020 see the

00:48:33.520 eyes.

00:48:34.140 When the

00:48:34.580 eyes are in

00:48:35.280 imagination

00:48:35.700 mode, and

00:48:36.480 I'm imagining

00:48:36.960 the president 1.00

00:48:37.460 as this crazy 1.00

00:48:38.340 clown, he's 0.99

00:48:38.900 running around, 1.00

00:48:39.480 he's trying to 0.99

00:48:40.560 kill everybody. 0.98

00:48:41.960 There's a 1.00

00:48:43.080 look.

00:48:43.420 And the

00:48:45.180 smile will

00:48:47.140 be, why

00:48:47.980 am I

00:48:48.240 smiling?

00:48:49.160 Because I've

00:48:49.780 got a 0.93

00:48:50.060 sociopath 0.98

00:48:50.500 look.

00:48:51.300 Do you

00:48:51.460 notice my

00:48:52.160 eyes are

00:48:54.420 not smiling

00:48:55.000 right?

00:48:56.020 But I've

00:48:56.600 got a

00:48:56.840 smile.

00:48:57.760 It looks

00:48:58.340 like a 1.00

00:48:58.680 sociopath. 0.55

00:49:00.100 But the 0.79

00:49:00.760 sociopath

00:49:01.240 look, the 0.99

00:49:04.260 sociopath 0.59

00:49:04.840 look is

00:49:07.960 very close to

00:49:09.180 the cognitive

00:49:09.780 dissonance

00:49:10.380 look.

00:49:10.700 because I

00:49:11.760 don't know

00:49:11.960 what the

00:49:12.200 sociopath is

00:49:12.980 thinking, but

00:49:13.480 the cognitive

00:49:14.060 dissonance is

00:49:14.940 you're having

00:49:15.540 a hallucination

00:49:16.700 and it's

00:49:18.000 coming through

00:49:18.500 your face

00:49:19.080 and your

00:49:19.480 face is

00:49:19.940 distorted

00:49:20.400 because it

00:49:20.900 doesn't know

00:49:21.460 how to deal

00:49:22.860 with the

00:49:23.160 hallucination.

00:49:24.240 Now, you

00:49:25.200 want the 0.55

00:49:25.500 test?

00:49:26.300 Here's the

00:49:26.740 test.

00:49:29.180 CNN's, let's

00:49:30.760 say, think

00:49:31.640 about all their

00:49:32.200 hosts.

00:49:33.680 I'm going to

00:49:34.320 name names.

00:49:35.860 Now you've

00:49:36.300 seen the look,

00:49:36.980 right?

00:49:37.320 So you saw

00:49:38.040 it on Colbert

00:49:38.680 and you saw

00:49:39.920 it on me.

00:49:41.060 And I'll go

00:49:41.800 further and

00:49:42.260 say that when

00:49:42.740 they're not

00:49:43.180 talking about

00:49:43.880 these topics,

00:49:44.720 they don't

00:49:44.980 have that

00:49:45.360 look.

00:49:46.140 It's about

00:49:46.840 the topic

00:49:47.560 that gives

00:49:48.040 them the

00:49:48.340 look.

00:49:49.100 I'm going

00:49:49.580 to name

00:49:49.920 some hosts

00:49:50.500 from CNN

00:49:52.000 and you tell

00:49:53.240 me which one

00:49:53.940 seems to have

00:49:54.540 a normal

00:49:54.980 look.

00:49:55.980 I'm just

00:49:56.480 talking about

00:49:56.920 the news.

00:49:57.500 This is on

00:49:57.900 the news.

00:49:58.660 This is what

00:49:59.060 happened on

00:49:59.460 the news.

00:50:00.240 And which

00:50:00.520 one seems

00:50:01.080 to have

00:50:01.440 something wrong

00:50:03.200 with the

00:50:03.400 eyes?

00:50:05.060 All right?

00:50:05.680 I'll just

00:50:06.440 name some.

00:50:08.220 Dr.

00:50:08.880 Sanjay Gupta.

00:50:10.700 Just imagine

00:50:11.240 him.

00:50:13.220 Chris Cuomo.

00:50:15.300 Don Lemon.

00:50:17.760 Anderson Cooper.

00:50:20.800 Jake Tapper.

00:50:21.800 Brooke Baldwin.

00:50:33.440 All right?

00:50:34.580 Now, of

00:50:35.220 those, go.

00:50:37.020 Which one of

00:50:38.240 those people

00:50:39.000 exhibits?

00:50:41.840 You're all

00:50:42.640 getting it

00:50:43.020 right.

00:50:43.980 Yeah,

00:50:44.260 Anderson Cooper.

00:50:45.760 Anderson Cooper

00:50:46.800 has the

00:50:48.800 Colbert face.

00:50:49.660 Chris Cuomo.

00:50:57.260 Ish.

00:50:58.560 I can see

00:50:59.260 why you're

00:50:59.620 guessing,

00:51:00.080 but ish.

00:51:01.520 Stelter,

00:51:02.640 no.

00:51:03.360 Jake Tapper,

00:51:04.000 no.

00:51:06.760 Don Lemon,

00:51:07.460 no.

00:51:08.500 Believe it or

00:51:09.060 not,

00:51:09.620 Don Lemon

00:51:10.140 does not,

00:51:11.120 he does not

00:51:12.080 exhibit the

00:51:14.740 cognitive

00:51:15.300 dissonance

00:51:16.400 face,

00:51:17.000 which might

00:51:17.820 mean that

00:51:18.220 he believes

00:51:18.680 what he's

00:51:19.060 saying and

00:51:19.640 it seems

00:51:20.020 consistent

00:51:20.600 with what

00:51:21.100 he sees.

00:51:21.840 Could be.

00:51:25.300 Well,

00:51:26.000 this is going

00:51:26.720 to freak you

00:51:27.240 out because

00:51:27.820 now that

00:51:28.280 you've seen

00:51:28.760 it,

00:51:29.300 and by the

00:51:29.660 way,

00:51:30.000 you'd have

00:51:30.760 to be a

00:51:31.100 trained hypnotist

00:51:31.880 to recognize

00:51:32.660 this,

00:51:33.840 or at least

00:51:34.580 be experienced,

00:51:35.300 but now that

00:51:35.720 I taught it

00:51:36.280 to you,

00:51:36.900 you're going

00:51:37.280 to start

00:51:37.600 seeing it,

00:51:38.580 and watch

00:51:39.520 how easily

00:51:40.020 you spot

00:51:40.580 it now

00:51:41.700 that you

00:51:41.960 can see

00:51:42.320 it.

00:51:42.740 It's going

00:51:43.140 to freak

00:51:43.420 you out

00:51:43.740 how easily

00:51:44.440 you can

00:51:44.760 spot it.

00:51:46.480 All right,

00:51:46.880 let's see if

00:51:47.320 I talked

00:51:47.780 about everything

00:51:48.280 I want to

00:51:48.680 talk about.

00:51:49.480 Did I miss

00:51:49.820 anything?

00:51:51.020 Anything else

00:51:51.540 happening?

00:51:53.580 And let me

00:51:54.560 reiterate the

00:51:58.720 fact that

00:51:59.520 cognitive

00:52:00.020 dissonance

00:52:00.580 does not

00:52:02.640 measure your

00:52:03.420 intelligence,

00:52:04.680 it doesn't

00:52:05.380 measure your

00:52:06.300 knowledge,

00:52:07.780 it doesn't

00:52:08.240 even measure

00:52:09.820 your intentions.

00:52:11.620 So there's

00:52:12.220 nothing about

00:52:12.780 Anderson Cooper

00:52:13.500 that I think

00:52:14.160 is anything

00:52:15.440 but smart

00:52:16.240 and well

00:52:16.820 intentioned

00:52:17.440 and well

00:52:17.980 informed.

00:52:19.040 I would say

00:52:19.520 all of those

00:52:19.980 things about

00:52:20.420 him.

00:52:21.320 But it

00:52:22.720 is nonetheless

00:52:23.220 true that

00:52:23.920 when he

00:52:24.160 talks about

00:52:24.740 Trump,

00:52:25.220 he gets

00:52:25.560 a look

00:52:26.620 on his

00:52:26.920 face that

00:52:27.420 is not

00:52:27.780 common

00:52:28.220 to any

00:52:29.560 other

00:52:29.800 reporting.

00:52:30.580 And I

00:52:30.780 think you've

00:52:31.140 seen it.

00:52:32.860 Somebody

00:52:33.340 says AOC.

00:52:34.620 You know,

00:52:34.940 the ones

00:52:35.280 that are

00:52:35.520 hard to

00:52:35.920 tell are

00:52:36.840 the ones

00:52:37.480 who open

00:52:38.700 their eyes

00:52:39.160 wide when

00:52:39.740 they talk

00:52:40.160 sometimes.

00:52:41.040 So you'll

00:52:41.360 get a

00:52:41.640 photograph that

00:52:42.380 looks strange

00:52:43.800 because he

00:52:44.180 caught it

00:52:44.580 right that

00:52:44.900 moment.

00:52:45.320 So Cory

00:52:45.720 Booker

00:52:46.120 and AOC

00:52:49.240 sometimes have

00:52:50.120 photos that

00:52:50.920 are wide-eyed.

00:52:51.780 That's not

00:52:52.500 exactly what

00:52:53.140 I'm talking

00:52:53.500 about.

00:52:54.780 It's not

00:52:55.460 just your

00:52:55.840 eyes are

00:52:56.320 wide.

00:52:57.080 There's

00:52:57.240 like a

00:52:58.640 glassy stare

00:52:59.840 like you're

00:53:00.260 not in the

00:53:00.660 room that

00:53:01.300 is the

00:53:01.740 tell.

00:53:02.260 all right.

00:53:08.220 Does anybody

00:53:09.040 think that

00:53:09.880 Bolton is

00:53:11.040 laying a

00:53:11.580 glove on

00:53:12.060 Trump?

00:53:13.320 Because it

00:53:13.980 doesn't feel

00:53:14.460 like it,

00:53:14.840 does it?

00:53:15.820 Doesn't the

00:53:16.680 Bolton book

00:53:17.280 feel like it's

00:53:18.360 just Groundhog

00:53:19.040 Day and it's

00:53:20.240 another guy

00:53:20.780 saying stuff

00:53:21.400 happened in

00:53:21.880 a room and

00:53:22.300 nobody else

00:53:22.780 heard it in

00:53:24.060 a month?

00:53:25.320 In a month,

00:53:26.760 you won't

00:53:28.740 even remember

00:53:29.280 that book?

00:53:29.700 Somebody says

00:53:35.440 no fair

00:53:35.900 teaching NLP

00:53:36.920 to the

00:53:37.420 uninitiated.

00:53:38.620 So somebody

00:53:39.020 is a hypnosis

00:53:39.620 trainer out

00:53:40.220 here.

00:53:41.080 What's the

00:53:41.380 next big

00:53:42.380 red pill?

00:53:43.700 Well, if

00:53:44.820 you were on

00:53:45.180 the locals

00:53:45.640 platform, you

00:53:47.420 would already

00:53:47.980 know the

00:53:49.380 answer to

00:53:49.680 that question.

00:53:50.420 But because

00:53:51.320 you answered,

00:53:51.860 if you're

00:53:52.140 going to stick

00:53:52.440 around for a

00:53:52.960 moment, I

00:53:53.700 will read to

00:53:54.220 you the

00:53:55.100 parts of the

00:53:55.600 red pill

00:53:55.980 because I

00:53:56.740 documented them

00:53:57.620 on locals.

00:53:59.700 So if you

00:54:00.260 ordered it in

00:54:00.760 writing, that

00:54:01.360 would be the

00:54:02.000 place to go.

00:54:03.160 But I'm

00:54:03.520 going to read

00:54:03.760 it to you.

00:54:04.760 So here's a

00:54:05.800 list of

00:54:06.200 things that

00:54:08.360 have changed.

00:54:11.660 People are

00:54:12.320 asking me if

00:54:12.780 Adam Schiff

00:54:13.320 has the

00:54:13.700 look.

00:54:14.500 See, Adam

00:54:15.180 Schiff has

00:54:15.580 the same

00:54:15.860 problem.

00:54:16.260 He has

00:54:16.500 wide-eye

00:54:17.640 look and

00:54:19.300 that one

00:54:20.600 can throw

00:54:21.300 you off. 0.71

00:54:22.700 So just

00:54:23.140 having wide

00:54:24.500 eyes doesn't

00:54:25.480 necessarily mean

00:54:26.680 cognitive dissonance.

00:54:27.760 things, it's

00:54:29.400 a little

00:54:29.620 different than

00:54:30.120 that.

00:54:31.560 So I

00:54:33.660 told you that

00:54:34.160 the big

00:54:34.580 red pill

00:54:34.960 coming was

00:54:35.500 not going

00:54:35.800 to be one

00:54:36.200 event or

00:54:36.760 one thing.

00:54:37.360 It would

00:54:37.540 be a bunch

00:54:38.000 of things.

00:54:38.500 Here's the

00:54:38.860 bunch of

00:54:39.240 things in

00:54:39.760 my list.

00:54:40.480 Number one,

00:54:41.040 experts are

00:54:41.560 far less

00:54:42.120 reliable than

00:54:43.020 we thought,

00:54:44.100 and that

00:54:44.620 changed a

00:54:45.200 lot in

00:54:45.500 2020.

00:54:46.540 Yes or

00:54:47.020 no, the

00:54:48.000 public's

00:54:48.520 opinion of

00:54:49.280 what experts

00:54:50.040 know and

00:54:50.700 how much

00:54:51.080 you should

00:54:51.460 trust them

00:54:51.980 is completely

00:54:53.300 different in

00:54:53.900 2020.

00:54:55.000 Are you

00:54:55.240 with me?

00:54:55.860 That's part of

00:54:56.480 the red

00:54:56.740 pill, just

00:54:57.180 a small

00:54:57.540 part, but

00:54:58.620 all of

00:54:59.040 these

00:54:59.220 collectively

00:54:59.800 will make

00:55:00.640 you doubt

00:55:01.200 your ability

00:55:02.080 to understand

00:55:02.940 your reality

00:55:03.640 the way you

00:55:04.960 used to

00:55:05.440 understand it.

00:55:06.520 Number one,

00:55:07.680 we trust

00:55:08.140 experts far

00:55:09.300 less.

00:55:09.780 That's a

00:55:10.100 fairly new

00:55:10.780 change.

00:55:12.260 Number two,

00:55:12.840 Project

00:55:13.160 Veritas showed

00:55:14.100 us that

00:55:14.500 Facebook

00:55:14.920 literally is

00:55:16.400 doing everything

00:55:17.180 that conservatives

00:55:17.840 thought they

00:55:18.360 were doing.

00:55:19.380 It's real.

00:55:21.140 Yes, I

00:55:21.800 will add

00:55:22.140 this.

00:55:23.100 Flynn has

00:55:23.800 been, all

00:55:24.860 the charges

00:55:25.360 are dropped,

00:55:25.900 so the

00:55:26.800 Flynn thing

00:55:27.360 is another

00:55:27.940 part of

00:55:28.360 the red

00:55:28.620 pill.

00:55:29.560 Number three,

00:55:30.620 we know that

00:55:31.500 individual

00:55:32.060 scientific studies

00:55:33.260 are no more

00:55:33.960 reliable than

00:55:34.660 horoscopes.

00:55:36.140 In fact,

00:55:36.940 half of

00:55:37.520 published studies

00:55:38.260 turn out not

00:55:38.860 to be true.

00:55:39.920 Now, it is

00:55:40.400 true that

00:55:40.780 studies collectively

00:55:41.980 and over time

00:55:43.040 work science

00:55:44.060 toward knowledge,

00:55:45.320 but if you're

00:55:46.060 looking at one

00:55:46.680 study, it

00:55:47.540 doesn't matter

00:55:47.920 what, but

00:55:48.920 usually in the

00:55:49.620 social sciences

00:55:50.380 area is what

00:55:51.240 we're talking,

00:55:52.100 but if you

00:55:52.440 looked at one

00:55:52.920 study, it's

00:55:55.600 useless.

00:55:56.640 Now, you 0.99

00:55:57.120 used to

00:55:57.540 think, well,

00:55:58.400 it's a

00:55:58.760 study, right?

00:56:00.580 Even just a

00:56:01.340 few years ago,

00:56:02.000 you said, well,

00:56:02.740 it's in the

00:56:03.700 news and it's

00:56:04.440 a study.

00:56:05.180 I know

00:56:05.580 sometimes they're

00:56:06.260 not real, but

00:56:07.000 probably 80%

00:56:09.000 chance is real,

00:56:10.280 and now you

00:56:10.900 don't think that,

00:56:11.480 do you?

00:56:12.100 What do you

00:56:12.480 think is the

00:56:12.980 odds of any

00:56:13.720 study that's in

00:56:14.480 the news, just

00:56:15.640 an individual

00:56:16.180 study that's not

00:56:17.100 backed up by

00:56:17.760 other studies,

00:56:18.840 and it's a

00:56:19.300 shocking new

00:56:19.860 claim?

00:56:20.660 What's your

00:56:21.100 first thought

00:56:22.120 about how

00:56:23.240 likely it is

00:56:23.920 true?

00:56:24.800 Well, it

00:56:25.220 used to be

00:56:25.660 about 80%.

00:56:26.700 Right now, a

00:56:28.820 little closer to

00:56:29.480 20%, isn't it?

00:56:30.900 Big difference.

00:56:34.740 How about,

00:56:36.120 now we know

00:56:37.360 that, of course,

00:56:38.080 defund the

00:56:38.560 police will

00:56:39.000 never work.

00:56:39.860 You already

00:56:40.800 knew that, but

00:56:41.680 I think other

00:56:42.140 people are just

00:56:42.780 learning that

00:56:44.160 slogans like

00:56:45.340 defund the

00:56:46.000 police don't

00:56:46.600 translate into

00:56:47.280 anything you

00:56:47.740 can actually

00:56:48.140 do.

00:56:48.420 you can, of

00:56:50.400 course, improve

00:56:50.960 the way they

00:56:51.400 do their job.

00:56:53.220 You've learned

00:56:53.860 that stories

00:56:54.380 about nooses

00:56:55.000 and hate

00:56:55.440 crimes are

00:56:56.100 more likely

00:56:56.960 fake than

00:56:57.980 real.

00:56:58.640 In fact, the

00:56:59.120 Wall Street

00:56:59.500 Journal did

00:57:00.680 a study on,

00:57:02.040 talked about a

00:57:02.660 study in which

00:57:03.320 they looked at

00:57:03.880 all the hate

00:57:04.820 crimes reported

00:57:05.700 and two-thirds

00:57:06.660 of them were

00:57:07.180 fake.

00:57:08.720 Two-thirds

00:57:09.440 of hate crimes

00:57:10.260 are fake.

00:57:11.620 Do you think

00:57:12.100 it's two-thirds

00:57:12.780 or higher?

00:57:14.040 You think it's

00:57:14.620 higher, don't

00:57:15.100 you?

00:57:15.960 That's different.

00:57:16.680 If you had

00:57:18.000 said to me

00:57:18.520 two years

00:57:19.040 ago, there's

00:57:20.020 a hate crime

00:57:20.680 reported, this

00:57:21.440 or that, is

00:57:22.500 it true or

00:57:23.180 false, I

00:57:23.640 would say,

00:57:24.000 well, I

00:57:25.040 don't know.

00:57:25.660 I have no

00:57:26.020 way to know,

00:57:26.660 but 75, 80

00:57:28.920 percent chance

00:57:30.020 it's probably

00:57:30.440 right.

00:57:31.460 What do you

00:57:32.080 think today?

00:57:33.820 10%.

00:57:34.260 Today, if you

00:57:35.720 see a hate

00:57:36.500 crime reported

00:57:37.320 and you

00:57:37.880 haven't heard

00:57:38.280 the details

00:57:38.840 yet, you

00:57:39.920 just heard

00:57:40.460 somebody's

00:57:41.660 reporting a

00:57:42.220 hate crime,

00:57:43.060 what's the

00:57:43.480 first thing

00:57:44.000 you think?

00:57:44.780 Maybe it

00:57:45.680 would be

00:57:45.900 horrible if

00:57:46.460 it were

00:57:46.660 true, 10

00:57:48.100 percent chance

00:57:48.680 it's true.

00:57:49.560 That's part

00:57:50.000 of your

00:57:50.200 red pill.

00:57:52.380 How about

00:57:53.040 this?

00:57:54.860 We're starting

00:57:55.640 to understand

00:57:56.260 that if you

00:57:57.720 calculated

00:57:58.280 reparations

00:57:59.000 correctly, there

00:57:59.720 would be a

00:58:00.000 negative number

00:58:00.640 because if

00:58:02.200 you do the

00:58:03.460 right calculation,

00:58:05.400 you would

00:58:05.760 study black 0.91

00:58:07.240 people who

00:58:07.760 came to

00:58:08.100 America against

00:58:08.900 their will as

00:58:09.680 slaves compared

00:58:11.080 to the income

00:58:11.780 of the people

00:58:12.240 who were not

00:58:12.840 taken as

00:58:13.280 slaves.

00:58:14.160 What's the

00:58:14.560 average of the

00:58:15.240 people from

00:58:15.780 the country

00:58:16.840 or continent

00:58:17.480 where they

00:58:17.820 came from

00:58:18.280 and how

00:58:19.360 are the

00:58:19.680 children of

00:58:20.280 the people

00:58:20.620 who were

00:58:20.820 taken as

00:58:21.240 slaves doing

00:58:21.900 income-wise 0.70

00:58:22.720 now?

00:58:23.600 As soon as

00:58:24.460 people realize

00:58:25.160 that, and a

00:58:26.140 few people

00:58:26.560 already are,

00:58:27.900 reparation starts

00:58:29.040 to go away

00:58:29.680 because even if

00:58:33.100 you think there

00:58:33.860 is a different

00:58:34.440 way to calculate

00:58:35.100 it, and of

00:58:35.640 course people

00:58:36.200 will, people

00:58:37.120 are not going

00:58:37.560 to automatically

00:58:38.100 agree that I

00:58:38.920 described it

00:58:39.820 right, but the

00:58:40.800 fact that that

00:58:41.440 conversation is

00:58:42.400 guaranteed to

00:58:43.080 happen, that

00:58:44.340 it should be a

00:58:44.920 negative number

00:58:45.580 pretty much

00:58:46.820 takes it off

00:58:47.340 the table.

00:58:50.860 How about

00:58:51.500 the fact that

00:58:52.240 we're very

00:58:53.180 close, we're

00:58:54.040 not there, to

00:58:55.500 realizing that

00:58:56.260 there's no such

00:58:56.920 thing as

00:58:57.600 racists?

00:58:58.940 What?

00:59:00.260 What?

00:59:01.660 Did I just

00:59:02.780 say that?

00:59:03.180 There's no such

00:59:03.720 thing as

00:59:04.020 racists?

00:59:05.380 What I mean is

00:59:06.240 everybody's racist.

00:59:07.600 So there's no

00:59:08.380 such thing as,

00:59:09.260 oh, that guy's a 0.99

00:59:09.940 racist, but you're 0.88

00:59:11.120 not?

00:59:11.780 No.

00:59:12.820 No, that's not

00:59:13.440 a thing.

00:59:13.920 Because you

00:59:14.400 can't be not

00:59:15.080 racist.

00:59:15.920 In fact, you

00:59:16.460 can't be not

00:59:17.100 biased on any

00:59:18.160 topic, because

00:59:19.460 your brain is a

00:59:20.440 pattern recognition

00:59:21.220 machine, but it's

00:59:22.640 not good at it.

00:59:23.880 It's not good at

00:59:24.600 recognizing patterns.

00:59:25.600 It sees

00:59:25.920 confirmation bias as

00:59:28.360 a fact, just as

00:59:29.660 easily as it sees

00:59:30.460 a fact as a

00:59:31.120 fact.

00:59:31.780 So you can't

00:59:32.700 turn off the

00:59:33.440 basic working of

00:59:34.640 a brain.

00:59:35.240 You can just

00:59:35.720 find ways to

00:59:36.700 overcome it, and

00:59:38.140 ways to do

00:59:38.900 better, and use

00:59:39.600 your higher powers

00:59:40.400 of reasoning to

00:59:41.300 recognize it, and

00:59:42.480 build a system

00:59:44.040 that tries to

00:59:44.720 squeeze the

00:59:45.580 bias.

00:59:47.100 But it's

00:59:48.580 now, it

00:59:49.840 borders on 1.00

00:59:50.400 stupid at 1.00

00:59:52.140 this point. 1.00

00:59:53.100 You know, 2020,

00:59:53.920 it borders on 1.00

00:59:54.580 stupid to 1.00

00:59:55.680 imagine that 1.00

00:59:56.320 there are

00:59:56.580 racists and

00:59:57.200 non-racists.

00:59:58.220 That's not a

00:59:58.720 thing.

00:59:59.760 Everybody is

01:00:00.660 racially biased

01:00:02.380 in one way or

01:00:04.440 another.

01:00:04.880 It's universal.

01:00:05.800 And I think it's

01:00:07.220 important that we

01:00:08.380 understand that,

01:00:09.220 because then you

01:00:09.640 can work on the

01:00:10.260 right solution.

01:00:11.580 The wrong solution

01:00:12.340 is trying to fix

01:00:13.640 the way people's

01:00:14.420 brains are wired.

01:00:17.000 You can't fix the

01:00:17.960 basic wiring of a

01:00:18.940 brain.

01:00:19.580 You can just fix

01:00:20.460 what you do, which

01:00:22.120 is fixable.

01:00:25.340 We now understand,

01:00:26.800 or we're coming to

01:00:27.440 understand, that the

01:00:28.140 news business isn't

01:00:29.460 even trying to be

01:00:30.900 news.

01:00:31.420 It's just being

01:00:32.120 naked advocacy. 0.85

01:00:33.120 I don't think

01:00:34.140 people knew that

01:00:34.700 five years ago.

01:00:35.980 People didn't know

01:00:36.740 five years ago that

01:00:37.640 the news wasn't

01:00:38.420 even attempting to

01:00:39.440 be news.

01:00:40.160 I mean, it wasn't

01:00:40.680 even in their

01:00:41.340 first choice.

01:00:45.380 We're learning that

01:00:46.300 conservatives see

01:00:47.100 the news on both

01:00:47.980 the left and the

01:00:48.620 right, and so

01:00:49.440 anybody who is

01:00:50.460 only sampling the

01:00:51.400 news on one side

01:00:52.500 is a low

01:00:53.760 information voter.

01:00:55.140 And because the

01:00:55.940 news on the left

01:00:56.660 is sort of more

01:00:57.360 universal, it always

01:00:58.920 bleeds over into the

01:01:00.040 reporting on the

01:01:00.740 right, the people

01:01:02.020 on the right see

01:01:02.720 the news on the

01:01:03.420 left and the

01:01:03.940 news on the

01:01:04.320 right.

01:01:04.900 It's a fuller

01:01:05.640 context, even if

01:01:06.700 they choose to

01:01:07.620 think one is more

01:01:08.680 right.

01:01:09.680 So I think the

01:01:10.860 left is about

01:01:12.120 ready to realize

01:01:12.980 that they are

01:01:13.640 low information

01:01:14.400 voters, because

01:01:15.740 their own news

01:01:16.520 sources are

01:01:17.100 completely corrupt,

01:01:18.400 and they're just 0.72

01:01:19.280 starting to figure

01:01:19.880 that out.

01:01:20.640 You know, the

01:01:20.940 Flynn thing, the

01:01:22.620 Russia collusion

01:01:23.360 thing, these little

01:01:25.380 hints are starting

01:01:26.260 to come together.

01:01:26.960 The New York

01:01:30.440 Times is doxing

01:01:31.500 that anonymous

01:01:32.460 blogger I told

01:01:33.240 you, so that

01:01:33.700 removes all doubt

01:01:34.540 about the press

01:01:36.140 being on the

01:01:36.720 side of the

01:01:37.120 people.

01:01:37.960 Didn't you used

01:01:38.680 to think that

01:01:39.220 the press was

01:01:40.600 on the side of

01:01:41.200 the people?

01:01:43.200 You know, maybe

01:01:43.920 you never thought

01:01:44.760 that, but people

01:01:45.360 did.

01:01:45.940 People thought

01:01:46.440 that the press

01:01:46.940 was on the

01:01:47.360 side of the

01:01:47.700 people.

01:01:48.440 The New York

01:01:48.820 Times has

01:01:49.260 removed all

01:01:49.860 doubt by

01:01:50.860 doxing a 0.73

01:01:51.420 person that

01:01:51.860 they were going

01:01:52.260 to write a

01:01:52.860 positive article

01:01:54.540 on, and they

01:01:56.780 were still going

01:01:57.260 to ruin his

01:01:57.760 life?

01:01:58.220 Eh, just

01:01:58.660 because it's

01:01:59.060 his story.

01:02:00.240 And they

01:02:00.540 were completely

01:02:01.320 transparent about

01:02:04.620 that.

01:02:05.440 We know that

01:02:06.220 Black Lives

01:02:06.680 Matter is a 1.00

01:02:07.240 racist movement

01:02:08.080 that is creating

01:02:09.800 a preferred

01:02:10.540 victim class.

01:02:12.600 Now, you

01:02:13.280 probably thought

01:02:14.020 that from the

01:02:14.580 beginning, some

01:02:15.180 of you did, and

01:02:16.740 not everybody is

01:02:17.540 there yet, but

01:02:18.160 that's what's

01:02:18.680 forming.

01:02:19.360 It's very clear

01:02:20.260 that a poor 0.51

01:02:20.860 white kid who 0.65

01:02:22.340 became a poor 0.91

01:02:23.080 white kid for 0.97

01:02:23.800 no fault of

01:02:24.400 his own should

01:02:25.620 not be put in

01:02:26.440 the lower

01:02:26.900 class of

01:02:27.520 victim.

01:02:29.460 There's just

01:02:30.080 no argument

01:02:30.600 for it, and

01:02:31.580 I think that

01:02:32.160 red pill's

01:02:32.760 emerging.

01:02:34.080 We saw the

01:02:34.620 Russia collusion

01:02:35.340 hoax, the

01:02:35.880 Charlottesville

01:02:36.440 fine people

01:02:37.040 hoax, and

01:02:37.500 other hoaxes.

01:02:40.400 You've learned

01:02:41.080 that much of

01:02:41.560 the news is

01:02:42.180 speculating

01:02:42.740 and mind

01:02:44.020 reading.

01:02:44.760 Once you

01:02:45.320 understand that

01:02:45.960 the news is

01:02:46.480 mostly mind

01:02:47.240 reading, but

01:02:47.900 poorly, you

01:02:49.100 recognize it

01:02:49.720 everywhere.

01:02:50.100 It's like, wait

01:02:50.500 a minute, that's

01:02:50.960 not news.

01:02:51.860 That's you

01:02:52.240 imagining you

01:02:53.020 know what

01:02:53.360 somebody's

01:02:53.800 thinking.

01:02:54.720 That's not a

01:02:55.480 thing, and

01:02:56.240 now you see

01:02:56.680 it.

01:02:59.300 Some of you

01:03:00.020 have learned, but

01:03:00.600 not all of you,

01:03:01.280 that hiring the

01:03:02.340 best people isn't

01:03:03.420 really something you

01:03:04.240 can do, except by

01:03:05.860 luck.

01:03:07.420 If you're the

01:03:08.220 president and you

01:03:09.820 happen to be a

01:03:10.800 very provocative

01:03:11.800 president who even

01:03:13.020 the people on your

01:03:13.740 own team don't

01:03:14.540 necessarily want to

01:03:15.340 work for you because

01:03:16.060 it's too much heat,

01:03:17.220 you don't have a big

01:03:18.320 pool to pick from.

01:03:19.840 If you don't have a

01:03:20.880 big pool of

01:03:21.740 candidates, the best you

01:03:23.500 can do, and this

01:03:24.180 was true with

01:03:24.720 Trump, the best you

01:03:26.100 can do is take

01:03:27.680 your best shot and 0.63

01:03:29.240 then fire

01:03:29.880 aggressively.

01:03:31.220 So if he fires

01:03:32.560 aggressively and

01:03:34.040 he's picking from a

01:03:35.540 limited pool because

01:03:36.580 just people don't want

01:03:37.400 to be associated,

01:03:39.120 that's the best you

01:03:39.700 can do.

01:03:40.900 People are

01:03:41.500 understanding that

01:03:42.280 slowly.

01:03:44.020 people are

01:03:46.360 understanding that if

01:03:47.520 you hear a book or

01:03:48.720 report about one

01:03:49.840 person who was in

01:03:50.620 the room and heard

01:03:51.920 something shocking but

01:03:52.940 the other people in

01:03:53.660 the room didn't hear

01:03:54.400 it, it didn't

01:03:55.540 happen, right?

01:03:57.020 You used to think,

01:03:57.900 well, maybe it

01:03:58.320 happened, but now you

01:03:59.640 know that anonymous

01:04:01.040 report or even the

01:04:02.680 non-anonymous report

01:04:03.840 like Bolton, nobody

01:04:05.260 else heard it.

01:04:06.260 Huh, isn't that

01:04:07.580 funny?

01:04:08.080 Nobody else heard

01:04:08.720 of that.

01:04:09.340 It means it's not

01:04:10.160 true.

01:04:10.360 You're learning

01:04:12.660 that disgruntled

01:04:13.460 employees always talk

01:04:14.700 the same way.

01:04:15.980 It doesn't matter if

01:04:16.720 Trump fires them or

01:04:17.760 the CEO of a company

01:04:18.700 fires them.

01:04:19.620 That CEO has no

01:04:20.940 strategy.

01:04:21.680 It's all chaos.

01:04:23.220 Everything, he

01:04:23.980 doesn't look into the

01:04:24.860 details.

01:04:25.500 He doesn't understand

01:04:26.340 the finer points of

01:04:27.920 all of the smart

01:04:28.900 things I tell him.

01:04:30.460 Every employee.

01:04:31.640 There's nothing

01:04:32.200 political.

01:04:32.840 There's nothing

01:04:33.200 about Trump.

01:04:34.780 Every disgruntled

01:04:35.740 employee is that

01:04:36.820 same broken record.

01:04:39.600 All right?

01:04:39.900 We've learned that

01:04:40.840 China is not our 1.00

01:04:41.600 friend.

01:04:41.960 It never wants to

01:04:42.620 be.

01:04:42.820 It's not even

01:04:43.200 close.

01:04:43.980 So decoupling is

01:04:45.720 coming.

01:04:47.380 We're learning that

01:04:48.440 the technologies we

01:04:49.580 thought were the

01:04:50.120 greenest might be the

01:04:52.080 worst.

01:04:53.880 In other words,

01:04:54.960 nuclear power might

01:04:56.620 be the greenest of

01:04:57.480 all.

01:04:58.300 So that's a switch.

01:05:00.860 We're learning

01:05:01.640 slowly that the

01:05:02.340 planet is probably

01:05:03.260 warming.

01:05:04.040 Even skeptics say

01:05:05.320 the planet is

01:05:06.340 warming.

01:05:07.320 But there's a

01:05:08.560 growing body of

01:05:09.680 smart people.

01:05:10.660 Michael Schellenberger

01:05:11.540 for one.

01:05:12.740 I'll be talking

01:05:13.200 about him a little

01:05:15.660 bit more.

01:05:16.220 His great new book

01:05:17.240 is out,

01:05:18.300 Apocalypse Never.

01:05:19.720 About three quarters

01:05:20.720 through it.

01:05:21.180 It's terrific.

01:05:22.700 It's the best.

01:05:24.820 So let me recommend

01:05:25.600 this.

01:05:25.940 It's Michael

01:05:26.320 Schellenberger's

01:05:27.120 brand new book,

01:05:28.420 Apocalypse Never.

01:05:29.820 and he goes

01:05:31.580 through all of the

01:05:32.220 environmental

01:05:32.760 arguments.

01:05:33.800 But here's what's

01:05:34.380 different.

01:05:35.100 He gives you both

01:05:35.800 sides.

01:05:37.020 I don't think I've

01:05:37.660 ever seen that

01:05:38.180 before.

01:05:39.460 Like, quite

01:05:40.400 objectively, he

01:05:41.460 actually gives you

01:05:42.280 both sides.

01:05:43.400 And when you're

01:05:44.820 done, you'll have a

01:05:45.440 completely different

01:05:46.320 understanding of all

01:05:47.760 of this stuff.

01:05:48.600 You really will.

01:05:49.560 It'll blow your

01:05:50.360 mind.

01:05:50.600 Then there's,

01:05:54.260 just for a funny

01:05:55.460 one, I said

01:05:55.920 socialism only

01:05:56.760 works if your mom

01:05:57.620 pays for your

01:05:58.180 cell phone.

01:05:59.120 So the experiment

01:06:00.380 in the autonomous

01:06:01.180 zone, I think,

01:06:02.740 has been very

01:06:04.260 successful for

01:06:05.440 everyone except

01:06:06.080 the people in the

01:06:06.860 autonomous zone.

01:06:08.180 Because it told

01:06:09.540 the world that

01:06:10.700 what they're asking

01:06:11.440 for isn't a

01:06:13.380 real thing.

01:06:14.580 It's not

01:06:15.120 something that

01:06:16.000 can work.

01:06:17.300 Oh, somebody's

01:06:17.860 telling me that

01:06:18.340 Michael Schellenberger's

01:06:19.700 book is not

01:06:20.580 not out until

01:06:21.460 June 30th.

01:06:22.560 I got a preview

01:06:23.580 copy, but I'm

01:06:25.420 sure you can

01:06:25.880 pre-order it, and

01:06:26.840 I think he would

01:06:27.580 appreciate that.

01:06:30.040 All right.

01:06:33.180 The Lincoln

01:06:33.900 Project Twitter

01:06:35.420 account, yeah, it's

01:06:36.320 tweeting all the

01:06:37.020 hoaxes.

01:06:41.060 Let's see.

01:06:41.760 I'm just looking

01:06:42.220 at your, at

01:06:45.320 your, Chaz was

01:06:47.820 sort of a mini

01:06:48.520 Stanford prison

01:06:49.540 experiment.

01:06:51.020 Well, that's a,

01:06:51.960 that's a funny

01:06:53.360 and terrible thing

01:06:54.060 to say.

01:06:56.860 Can I offer

01:06:57.580 one month free

01:06:58.420 on locals?

01:06:59.420 I think I have

01:07:00.040 that option.

01:07:00.580 I was thinking

01:07:00.980 about doing that.

01:07:04.920 You should link

01:07:05.740 to Amazon so you

01:07:06.760 can get a kickback.

01:07:07.960 You know, those

01:07:08.600 are not very big

01:07:09.300 kickbacks.

01:07:10.360 What about

01:07:11.020 Parler, somebody

01:07:11.960 says.

01:07:12.380 So Parler is

01:07:13.200 the, one of the

01:07:15.420 competitors to

01:07:17.160 Twitter, but, you

01:07:18.100 know, it's

01:07:18.460 tiny.

01:07:19.480 So if you do

01:07:20.580 what I do for

01:07:21.220 a living, and

01:07:22.520 you try to sell

01:07:23.300 books and stuff,

01:07:24.220 you have to be

01:07:24.880 on the big

01:07:25.260 platform.

01:07:25.900 So that's not

01:07:26.280 really an option.

01:07:27.900 So it would be

01:07:28.580 very expensive for 0.97

01:07:29.460 me to get kicked 0.69

01:07:30.140 off of Twitter.

01:07:31.140 But, here's what

01:07:35.420 I'd like to see.

01:07:36.460 Can somebody

01:07:37.020 build this for

01:07:37.620 me?

01:07:38.440 If you'd like an

01:07:39.380 idea for a

01:07:39.980 project, there is

01:07:41.440 already something

01:07:42.080 called Hoot

01:07:43.060 Suite.

01:07:44.220 Hoot Suite?

01:07:45.340 Where you can,

01:07:46.380 you can schedule

01:07:48.060 your tweets and

01:07:49.100 your posts to

01:07:50.060 social media.

01:07:51.380 But, I'm pretty

01:07:52.620 sure that does

01:07:53.340 not include the

01:07:54.340 alternate sites,

01:07:55.580 such as Parler,

01:07:57.080 such as

01:07:57.600 locals, such as

01:08:00.300 Rockfin

01:08:00.940 competitor, such

01:08:02.840 as BitChute. 1.00

01:08:03.960 I don't think it

01:08:04.660 includes all those.

01:08:05.620 So here's the

01:08:06.200 product that needs

01:08:06.900 to be built.

01:08:08.080 It's a product

01:08:08.800 where you can

01:08:09.340 write your content

01:08:10.240 and then you

01:08:13.320 can just select

01:08:14.000 all the platforms,

01:08:15.180 the big ones,

01:08:15.880 the small ones,

01:08:16.580 the alternate ones,

01:08:17.580 which is more

01:08:18.300 than anything does

01:08:19.040 right now, and

01:08:19.940 it just sends it

01:08:20.560 to all of them.

01:08:21.520 Because until you

01:08:22.320 have the one

01:08:22.920 software that sends

01:08:24.060 it to all of them,

01:08:25.040 it just, it would

01:08:26.160 be too hard for

01:08:28.080 people like me to

01:08:30.020 to have a

01:08:31.120 Twitter, let's

01:08:32.800 say, presence,

01:08:34.000 but also have

01:08:34.940 some kind of a

01:08:35.540 presence on an

01:08:36.340 alternative site.

01:08:37.960 Right?

01:08:38.300 So right now,

01:08:39.420 there's not really,

01:08:40.760 there's not a

01:08:41.380 practical way for

01:08:42.860 somebody in my

01:08:43.780 position to just

01:08:45.200 say, ah, I'm

01:08:45.860 done with Twitter,

01:08:46.780 I'll go to this

01:08:47.700 tiny platform that

01:08:48.700 none of you are

01:08:49.220 seeing, there are

01:08:49.900 no, you know, the

01:08:50.880 president doesn't

01:08:51.580 use, etc.

01:08:53.680 But, if I could

01:08:55.320 publish to all of

01:08:56.380 them, I would be

01:08:58.040 sending all of my

01:08:59.160 same traffic to

01:09:00.060 every source.

01:09:01.360 Maybe, maybe the

01:09:02.420 software has to

01:09:03.260 adjust it if it's

01:09:04.440 being posted in a

01:09:05.320 different place.

01:09:06.500 You know, maybe

01:09:06.960 Twitter has a

01:09:07.780 limitation on

01:09:08.840 characters, but

01:09:09.580 Facebook doesn't.

01:09:11.000 So you, you know,

01:09:11.680 you'd have to have

01:09:12.200 your software tell

01:09:13.000 you, you know,

01:09:14.540 where your content

01:09:15.260 will fit so you

01:09:16.040 can adjust it so

01:09:17.060 it fits at all.

01:09:18.220 But once you have

01:09:18.900 that, somebody says

01:09:20.940 it has been done,

01:09:21.840 I doubt it.

01:09:23.200 Right?

01:09:24.480 Whenever I say

01:09:25.400 that something needs

01:09:26.500 to be built,

01:09:27.260 somebody always

01:09:28.860 says it has been

01:09:29.580 done.

01:09:30.720 But if you looked

01:09:31.660 at that thing that

01:09:32.380 somebody says has

01:09:33.180 been done, it's

01:09:33.760 just never, it's

01:09:34.940 never the thing.

01:09:36.220 It's just something

01:09:36.920 that reminded you

01:09:37.580 of it.

01:09:39.040 I would know about

01:09:39.840 it by now.

01:09:43.040 All right.

01:09:45.600 And if, yeah,

01:09:47.560 Hootsuite is,

01:09:49.100 first of all, the

01:09:50.100 user interface I

01:09:51.000 found impossible.

01:09:52.340 Actually, I don't

01:09:53.120 know if it's

01:09:53.440 improved since then,

01:09:54.200 but years ago I

01:09:55.320 tried to use

01:09:55.840 Hootsuite and

01:09:57.000 they found it so

01:09:57.700 frustrating that it

01:09:58.660 was basically

01:09:59.340 unusable, in my

01:10:00.500 opinion.

01:10:01.040 And other people

01:10:01.680 have had the same

01:10:02.220 opinion.

01:10:03.240 And Hootsuite does 0.80

01:10:04.060 not, I think,

01:10:06.460 does not connect to

01:10:07.380 the alternative

01:10:08.000 platforms.

01:10:09.360 Probably only does

01:10:10.160 the big ones.

01:10:14.680 Yeah.

01:10:15.220 If it's been done,

01:10:16.300 tweet it at me.

01:10:17.320 And I'll take a

01:10:17.880 look.

01:10:18.320 But I will say

01:10:20.080 with the confidence

01:10:20.840 of 99% that if

01:10:23.860 it's been done,

01:10:24.700 it's not done to

01:10:25.700 a commercial level

01:10:26.880 or it doesn't

01:10:27.520 have all the

01:10:27.980 platforms or

01:10:28.920 something.

01:10:34.020 Somebody says

01:10:34.780 you can, it's

01:10:35.460 just not as

01:10:36.180 simple like you

01:10:37.220 want.

01:10:37.540 Right.

01:10:37.840 It's the

01:10:38.220 simplicity which

01:10:39.020 makes it a

01:10:39.460 product.

01:10:41.480 Yeah.

01:10:41.820 Other people are

01:10:42.740 saying the same

01:10:43.400 about the user

01:10:44.040 interface for

01:10:44.640 Hootsuite.

01:10:47.240 Pineapple on

01:10:47.900 pizza, I'm being

01:10:48.680 asked.

01:10:49.720 I say whatever

01:10:50.660 you want.

01:10:51.220 Social B, I

01:10:55.120 don't know what

01:10:55.440 that is.

01:10:57.400 Somebody joined

01:10:58.160 Parler and likes

01:10:59.200 it.

01:11:01.100 Oh, somebody's

01:11:02.080 asking me about

01:11:02.680 tests, coronavirus

01:11:03.840 tests versus

01:11:04.600 hospitalization.

01:11:06.080 So right now the

01:11:07.140 hospitalizations are

01:11:08.580 at least the

01:11:09.880 coronavirus, people

01:11:12.060 who have it, is

01:11:12.660 going up while

01:11:13.380 the rate of

01:11:14.960 death is going

01:11:15.520 down.

01:11:16.060 And I don't

01:11:16.480 think we quite

01:11:17.100 know why, do we?

01:11:17.920 It could be that

01:11:19.280 the testing is

01:11:20.080 finding more

01:11:20.660 people who have

01:11:21.360 low symptoms, but

01:11:23.260 that wouldn't tell

01:11:24.240 you why the

01:11:24.940 death rate is

01:11:25.360 going down.

01:11:26.180 It could be that

01:11:26.780 the old people 1.00

01:11:27.380 are hiding

01:11:28.120 better.

01:11:28.860 It could be we

01:11:30.780 know more about

01:11:31.500 ventilators.

01:11:32.800 It could be, who

01:11:34.800 knows?

01:11:35.860 I don't know.

01:11:36.440 It could be that

01:11:37.000 some of the meds

01:11:37.680 they're using are

01:11:38.320 more effective than

01:11:39.160 we know.

01:11:40.500 It could be the

01:11:41.140 zinc.

01:11:41.880 Who knows?

01:11:42.380 But one

01:11:44.200 possibility is

01:11:44.960 that the rest of

01:11:47.440 the cases from

01:11:48.420 this day forward

01:11:49.460 will be a lower

01:11:52.120 version of death.

01:11:53.500 It's possible.

01:11:55.360 Slaughter meter

01:11:55.900 right now is at

01:11:56.620 100%.

01:11:57.460 The slaughter meter

01:11:58.960 is not a prediction

01:11:59.800 because I always add

01:12:01.620 this following

01:12:02.320 caveat.

01:12:03.260 If nothing

01:12:03.840 changes, but

01:12:05.340 something always

01:12:05.900 changes.

01:12:06.620 So there will be

01:12:07.280 lots of surprises

01:12:08.540 between now and

01:12:09.800 November 3rd.

01:12:10.580 Do you have any

01:12:12.180 idea how many

01:12:14.540 people, how many

01:12:15.760 big things are

01:12:16.660 going to drop

01:12:17.260 between now and

01:12:18.420 November 3rd?

01:12:19.740 A lot.

01:12:23.980 Somebody says the

01:12:24.980 fragile ones are

01:12:25.760 already dead. 0.96

01:12:26.480 They can't die

01:12:27.160 again.

01:12:28.320 I think it's

01:12:29.200 probably a whole

01:12:29.740 bunch of little

01:12:30.540 things that are

01:12:31.900 adding up to it.

01:12:32.680 We're smarter

01:12:33.500 and all those

01:12:35.760 things.

01:12:37.280 All right.

01:12:39.140 Yeah, Biden

01:12:39.960 obviously has

01:12:40.920 some cognitive

01:12:41.920 problems.

01:12:44.380 Somebody says

01:12:45.120 there's no zinc

01:12:45.920 in the vitamin

01:12:46.580 aisle at Walmart.

01:12:48.380 Well, I know I

01:12:49.260 ordered some by

01:12:49.860 mail and it sure

01:12:50.480 took a long time

01:12:51.140 to get here.

01:12:54.100 All right.

01:12:55.140 Did any celebrity

01:12:56.200 die from coronavirus?

01:12:57.820 Yeah, that's the

01:12:58.360 test I've been using

01:12:59.200 to know how scared

01:12:59.980 I should be.

01:13:00.800 Because the odds

01:13:01.520 of me being the

01:13:02.200 first household name

01:13:05.300 that dies from

01:13:06.240 coronavirus is very

01:13:07.300 small.

01:13:07.660 so it's just

01:13:09.240 this weird little

01:13:09.960 trick I'm playing

01:13:10.760 with myself to

01:13:11.500 say, all right,

01:13:12.120 if there's no

01:13:13.780 other celebrity

01:13:14.800 person you've heard

01:13:15.780 of who died of

01:13:16.580 it, I know

01:13:17.100 there have been

01:13:17.360 a few, but they

01:13:18.000 were ones I

01:13:18.560 was not familiar

01:13:19.360 with, then I'm

01:13:21.720 not going to

01:13:22.000 worry.

01:13:23.400 Have you watched

01:13:24.100 the circus?

01:13:24.760 I have not, but I

01:13:26.880 might.

01:13:27.740 All right.

01:13:28.420 That's all I got

01:13:29.020 for now, and I

01:13:29.700 will talk to you

01:13:30.400 later.

01:13:31.700 Thanks, sir.

01:13:38.280 Bye.
