00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in.
00:00:15.100 Well, KB44, KB44, it's your first periscope.
00:00:20.420 All right, you're lucky.
00:00:21.760 Imagine your first periscope being this one.
00:00:25.580 It's like you won the lottery.
00:00:27.560 Good to see you all.
00:00:28.880 All my regulars.
00:00:31.660 And before we get going, what do we need?
00:00:33.580 You know what we need.
00:00:34.960 We need the simultaneous sip, and all you need for that
00:00:38.020 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,
00:00:41.520 a canteen drink or a flask of a vessel of any kind.
00:00:44.880 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:46.100 I like coffee.
00:00:48.260 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,
00:00:51.520 the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:52.920 the thing that makes everything better,
00:00:55.520 including the pandemic, racism, the economy, you name it.
00:01:01.240 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:03.700 Go.
00:01:08.120 All key indicators improving.
00:01:12.320 So a number of people have contacted me in a variety of ways
00:01:18.680 to say that my evening periscopes had been very beneficial to them
00:01:25.660 during the pandemic.
00:01:27.140 And I appreciate that, and I wish I could keep doing that all the time,
00:01:32.040 but having a morning thing and an evening thing seven days a week is really hard.
00:01:37.460 I don't know if you realize how hard it is to do two live streams a day.
00:01:43.340 But here's my suggestion.
00:01:46.900 I'm trying to get married one of these days soon,
00:01:51.280 assuming we can get all the details worked out.
00:01:53.300 Everything's harder in coronavirus times.
00:01:56.160 But I won't be able to add that to my schedule anytime soon.
00:01:59.460 However, I would give you this advice.
00:02:00.960 Have you experimented with turning off the news for a day
00:02:06.960 and not watching your Twitter for a day?
00:02:10.660 Has anybody done that just as an experiment?
00:02:15.840 I've done that, and it is amazing how different you feel
00:02:21.020 because the news and social media is literally designed
00:02:24.520 to make you get all wound up, and it does it really well.
00:02:29.260 It does it so well.
00:02:31.500 And if you just turn it off,
00:02:34.640 what I find is if I can turn it off like 5 p.m.,
00:02:38.340 I still have all the knowledge I need,
00:02:40.700 but I don't get all the extra worrying.
00:02:43.920 And you just go outside.
00:02:45.980 For example, during the worst of the pandemic
00:02:49.220 and the economy is falling apart and there's protests,
00:02:52.960 and if I look at my screens,
00:02:55.620 the whole world is falling apart.
00:02:57.900 Everything I pick up, it's like,
00:02:59.340 ah, pick up my phone.
00:03:00.620 Ah, the world is falling apart.
00:03:02.640 Turn down the TV.
00:03:03.680 Ah, look at Twitter.
00:03:05.160 Ah, the world is falling apart.
00:03:08.380 And then I would just go for a walk.
00:03:10.980 And I'd walk outside, and I'd look around,
00:03:13.220 and I think there's really nothing different for most of us.
00:03:19.440 For a lot of people, you know,
00:03:20.900 great disruption, of course.
00:03:22.560 We're not minimizing that.
00:03:24.100 But for the great majority of us,
00:03:27.180 things were kind of normal in our little individual lives.
00:03:31.900 It didn't change that much.
00:03:33.740 And I'm not sure if any of that other stuff
00:03:35.920 that's, you know, brewing around the country
00:03:38.580 will make that much difference.
00:03:41.020 So here's some perspective.
00:03:43.520 The coronavirus is not going to stop killing people anytime soon,
00:03:48.360 but the number of people it kills is now so small
00:03:51.780 relative to the population of Earth
00:03:54.540 that it doesn't really warrant the same kind of worry it used to.
00:03:59.460 Now, you should still do the, you know,
00:04:01.780 the minimum of, you know, medically advisable behavior.
00:04:08.780 But it doesn't look like it's going to be the killer
00:04:12.140 that changes the world, you know, in some permanent way.
00:04:16.560 It's pretty obvious now that we'll get through it.
00:04:19.380 So if you have any questions, you know,
00:04:21.280 will we get through it, I think that's answered.
00:04:24.540 The answer is, yeah, we will.
00:04:26.840 Will some hospitals have impact?
00:04:29.220 Probably.
00:04:30.380 Will people die who shouldn't have died
00:04:32.840 if we'd done things differently?
00:04:34.860 Yes.
00:04:36.080 But that's a decision that we've made.
00:04:38.200 And I don't think it hurts that Independence Day fell where it did.
00:04:43.820 Do you think about, have you thought about the,
00:04:45.740 the psychological importance, at least in the United States,
00:04:50.900 the fact that Independence Day,
00:04:52.820 literally Independence Day fell exactly where it did
00:04:57.320 in terms of our thinking about, you know,
00:05:00.840 being shut down and the coronavirus and all that.
00:05:03.820 And I think you saw the outcome.
00:05:05.800 At least young people just said,
00:05:07.200 well, I think the young people just said,
00:05:11.000 I don't believe your science.
00:05:14.620 Probably I should have gone to work the whole time
00:05:17.020 because I'm young.
00:05:18.280 My risk was low.
00:05:21.380 People just said, well, how about Independence?
00:05:24.500 Now, I don't know if that's the right decision
00:05:26.160 or the wrong decision,
00:05:27.280 but it doesn't matter.
00:05:28.520 It actually doesn't matter
00:05:30.700 if people going out and exposing themselves
00:05:35.180 is right or wrong
00:05:36.240 because it's going to happen.
00:05:39.120 You know, if there was some choice about,
00:05:42.140 oh, maybe people will go back to the masks
00:05:44.380 and, you know, full protection,
00:05:46.420 but I don't think there's any chance of that.
00:05:48.960 I think it is what it is.
00:05:50.240 Let's just deal with what it is,
00:05:51.700 which is a lot of people will die,
00:05:54.520 but not a lot of people
00:05:55.980 compared to all the people in the world.
00:05:58.540 And we live in a risky world.
00:06:01.100 So, of course, if I'm the one who dies,
00:06:03.640 I'll feel pretty bad about it.
00:06:05.500 But nonetheless,
00:06:06.680 humans have chosen freedom over safety.
00:06:09.800 We have explicitly chosen freedom over safety.
00:06:14.180 At least freedom over complete safety.
00:06:17.060 Complete safety.
00:06:19.100 All right.
00:06:20.020 So just turn off the news
00:06:21.160 and you'll feel fine.
00:06:22.120 Believe me, it works really well.
00:06:23.920 Also, make sure that you get exercise every day.
00:06:27.180 Have you experimented with this yet?
00:06:30.540 When the pandemic got kicked off
00:06:33.740 or first was getting kicked off,
00:06:36.140 one of the things I told you
00:06:37.380 is to get exercise every day.
00:06:39.060 Go for a walk at least.
00:06:40.720 You know, do something every day.
00:06:42.940 And I've experimented with what happens
00:06:45.160 when I don't.
00:06:46.780 If something happens
00:06:48.700 and events overtake me
00:06:50.380 and I can't exercise on a day
00:06:52.500 that I planned to
00:06:53.400 and then I consciously say,
00:06:56.860 okay, today I did not exercise.
00:06:59.300 How do I feel tonight?
00:07:02.240 And you can really tell.
00:07:04.240 You can really tell.
00:07:05.440 I don't sleep well.
00:07:06.440 I don't sleep well.
00:07:07.720 My mood isn't the same.
00:07:09.020 It's completely different.
00:07:10.860 So if you're feeling that your mood is not good
00:07:13.020 and you didn't exercise today,
00:07:15.780 well, you have something to try
00:07:17.020 that probably has an 85% chance
00:07:19.780 of improving your mood.
00:07:21.100 I am loving seeing the Kanye panic
00:07:26.520 that is being caused on the left
00:07:28.920 because people assume that
00:07:30.120 if Kanye ran as some kind of a third party
00:07:32.560 or independent,
00:07:34.120 he would take more votes from the left
00:07:36.100 than the right
00:07:36.720 and guarantee Trump the victory.
00:07:38.980 So it is funny to watch
00:07:42.440 their panic on that.
00:07:48.940 And at the same time,
00:07:50.120 they don't want to go too hard at Kanye,
00:07:51.800 but they kind of don't want him in there.
00:07:54.000 And I love the fact
00:07:54.920 that we don't know yet if he's serious.
00:07:58.140 You know, how serious is Kanye?
00:08:00.860 Or, and even more to the point,
00:08:03.340 does he need to be serious?
00:08:05.620 Because Kanye could just put the thought out there
00:08:08.180 and see what happens
00:08:09.140 and maybe decide to be serious
00:08:11.380 if other people are serious.
00:08:13.940 Here's what I'm expecting.
00:08:16.520 I think the next presidential poll
00:08:19.780 has to include him, doesn't it?
00:08:23.640 Do you think Rasmussen can do a poll
00:08:25.820 without adding Kanye to it?
00:08:28.860 I think they'll have to do it both ways for a while.
00:08:31.980 But wouldn't you like to see
00:08:33.680 on day one
00:08:35.500 how many votes Kanye would get
00:08:37.680 in a three-way race?
00:08:39.760 Wouldn't you like to see that?
00:08:42.740 I'd like to see it
00:08:43.860 because I think it puts Trump solidly on top.
00:08:49.220 So, essentially,
00:08:50.840 Kanye is the only one
00:08:52.000 who would get to decide who's president.
00:08:54.580 Let me say that again.
00:08:57.280 We live in a democratic republic.
00:09:00.320 In theory, everybody's got one vote,
00:09:04.620 but, you know,
00:09:05.060 we get our representatives
00:09:06.060 and our representatives
00:09:07.120 trying to represent us
00:09:08.840 as well as possible.
00:09:10.760 That's the system we think we're in.
00:09:12.720 Right?
00:09:13.340 That's the system you think you're in.
00:09:16.200 But it's down to one person.
00:09:19.740 If Kanye runs,
00:09:22.260 Trump is president again.
00:09:23.540 If he doesn't run,
00:09:26.020 according to the polls,
00:09:27.800 it's Biden.
00:09:30.060 The entire democratic system
00:09:32.260 came down to one guy
00:09:33.560 and all he had to do was tweet.
00:09:37.800 Kanye West
00:09:38.740 wrote one tweet
00:09:41.220 and took over the country,
00:09:44.540 meaning that he gets to pick the president.
00:09:47.220 If you think you get to pick the president,
00:09:49.680 well, you're wrong.
00:09:50.400 You don't.
00:09:52.300 Only Kanye gets to pick the president.
00:09:55.240 If he bows out,
00:09:56.920 probably Biden.
00:09:58.380 If he stays in,
00:10:00.480 probably Trump.
00:10:02.480 It's just down to one person.
00:10:05.820 Now, could anything be more absurd?
00:10:08.680 And it gets funnier.
00:10:10.480 What is the biggest issue in the news
00:10:12.800 that's not the pandemic?
00:10:14.400 The biggest issue in the news
00:10:15.900 is that we live in
00:10:17.840 a white supremacist society.
00:10:22.920 That's right.
00:10:23.640 We live in a white supremacist society
00:10:26.060 in which the only person
00:10:27.940 who gets to decide
00:10:28.920 who our president is
00:10:30.040 is Kanye West.
00:10:32.600 I'm not making this up.
00:10:35.160 You know that what I just said
00:10:36.840 is absolutely true.
00:10:38.740 I mean, statistically,
00:10:39.880 anything can happen, right?
00:10:41.660 But as a basic fact,
00:10:44.420 Kanye West
00:10:45.360 is the only person
00:10:47.140 who gets to vote
00:10:47.780 this fucking year.
00:10:49.800 And I'm not even unhappy about it.
00:10:51.780 Are you?
00:10:52.900 I'm not sure that's a worse system.
00:10:55.400 If you said to me, Scott,
00:10:57.560 there are two potential systems.
00:10:59.660 One, in which the voters
00:11:01.180 can be massively misinformed
00:11:03.460 by the press,
00:11:05.000 and then they'll take
00:11:05.800 their massive misinformation
00:11:07.380 to the polls,
00:11:09.420 and then they'll vote
00:11:10.400 in what will be largely
00:11:11.560 a randomized process
00:11:13.020 because nobody
00:11:13.760 had good information,
00:11:15.440 and then we'll add
00:11:17.180 Russian interference
00:11:18.160 and Chinese interference
00:11:19.460 and vote rigging,
00:11:21.420 and we'll get some kind
00:11:22.440 of a completely
00:11:23.100 non-credible result
00:11:25.220 that half of the country
00:11:26.340 thinks they have to have
00:11:27.300 a revolution
00:11:27.940 in order to overthrow it.
00:11:30.520 That's our current system.
00:11:32.520 The current system
00:11:33.820 is what I just described.
00:11:36.120 A completely
00:11:37.400 non-credible system
00:11:38.820 in which people
00:11:39.480 are brainwashed
00:11:40.300 for the wrong information,
00:11:42.280 don't believe they are,
00:11:44.020 vote anyway,
00:11:45.040 and you get some
00:11:45.660 completely random,
00:11:47.260 ridiculous result.
00:11:49.320 Compare that system
00:11:50.460 to,
00:11:51.640 let's let Kanye
00:11:52.860 figure it out.
00:11:54.680 Let Kanye decide.
00:11:57.020 Can you honestly
00:11:58.080 tell me
00:11:58.720 you get a better result
00:12:00.440 from the current system
00:12:02.160 than saying,
00:12:04.200 how about we just try
00:12:05.100 let Kanye figure it out?
00:12:08.920 I don't know
00:12:09.760 which one's better.
00:12:10.980 If you say you know
00:12:12.260 which one of those
00:12:13.020 two systems
00:12:13.700 gives you a better outcome,
00:12:15.240 I think you're lying.
00:12:17.220 I think you're lying.
00:12:18.920 You don't know that.
00:12:20.680 Now,
00:12:20.960 what would be a bad system
00:12:22.280 is to give one person
00:12:23.540 complete power, right?
00:12:24.940 Then you have a dictator,
00:12:26.880 blah, blah, blah,
00:12:28.020 et cetera.
00:12:28.680 But,
00:12:30.120 if it just sort of happened,
00:12:32.200 it just sort of
00:12:34.000 accidentally happened,
00:12:35.220 that the only person
00:12:36.340 who gets to make a decision
00:12:37.600 is Kanye,
00:12:39.440 I don't know,
00:12:40.600 that might be okay.
00:12:42.540 Let me blow your mind
00:12:43.720 for a while,
00:12:44.460 right?
00:12:45.340 Here's the most
00:12:46.120 mind-blowing thought
00:12:47.420 you've ever had.
00:12:50.620 Well,
00:12:51.200 I guess I oversold it.
00:12:52.620 Take that down to,
00:12:53.980 it's one of many
00:12:54.920 mind-blowing thoughts
00:12:56.020 that you might have
00:12:57.200 over the course
00:12:57.740 of your year.
00:12:58.640 It goes like this.
00:13:00.800 If Kanye is serious,
00:13:02.280 let's say he stays
00:13:02.940 in the race,
00:13:04.380 here's my claim.
00:13:06.060 He will be the first
00:13:07.360 president we ever had
00:13:09.320 that you wouldn't
00:13:11.400 doubt his motives.
00:13:15.320 Right?
00:13:16.520 Think about it.
00:13:17.600 We've never had a president
00:13:19.060 where you didn't doubt
00:13:20.980 their motives
00:13:21.720 the entire time.
00:13:23.420 Now,
00:13:23.680 you might not doubt
00:13:24.360 their motives
00:13:24.840 sort of in general,
00:13:26.020 but rather you doubt
00:13:27.620 them on specific
00:13:28.500 decisions.
00:13:29.220 Like,
00:13:29.440 well,
00:13:30.180 that feels a little
00:13:31.080 friendly to the big,
00:13:32.820 you know,
00:13:34.000 military-industrial complex.
00:13:35.860 Or,
00:13:36.480 is that a little bit
00:13:37.500 racist?
00:13:38.160 I can't tell.
00:13:39.400 Or,
00:13:40.100 did you just do that
00:13:41.300 because your base
00:13:42.360 needs to hear it
00:13:43.200 but you know
00:13:43.680 it's not true?
00:13:45.320 Think about it.
00:13:46.320 We've never had
00:13:47.160 any kind of president
00:13:48.120 who at least
00:13:48.960 the other team
00:13:49.820 said,
00:13:50.740 well,
00:13:51.080 I think they really
00:13:51.960 mean what they're saying.
00:13:53.480 We've never had that.
00:13:54.420 He would be the first
00:13:56.040 president
00:13:56.540 who,
00:13:57.600 when he said something,
00:13:58.580 it could be brilliant,
00:14:00.020 it could be not brilliant.
00:14:01.620 But the one thing
00:14:02.620 you wouldn't doubt
00:14:03.440 is,
00:14:04.720 did he mean it?
00:14:06.260 Is it exactly
00:14:07.800 what he was thinking?
00:14:09.440 Yeah.
00:14:10.640 Yeah.
00:14:11.120 It would be the first time
00:14:12.020 you ever had a president
00:14:12.940 who you wouldn't wonder
00:14:14.680 if he was trying
00:14:16.160 to do the right thing.
00:14:17.400 You wouldn't even wonder.
00:14:19.220 He would definitely
00:14:19.880 be trying to do
00:14:20.580 the right thing.
00:14:21.080 Why the hell
00:14:21.900 would he do it otherwise,
00:14:22.860 right?
00:14:23.860 You know,
00:14:24.220 it wouldn't make any sense.
00:14:26.180 So,
00:14:26.560 what would be
00:14:27.220 in Kanye's
00:14:28.080 best interest?
00:14:29.080 Like,
00:14:29.320 even if you said,
00:14:29.980 all right,
00:14:30.280 Scott,
00:14:30.980 you're being a little
00:14:31.820 too generous here.
00:14:34.180 Everybody's selfish.
00:14:35.600 So,
00:14:36.040 Kanye's a person.
00:14:37.060 He's a human being.
00:14:38.420 So,
00:14:38.720 of course,
00:14:39.040 he'll have some
00:14:39.460 selfish motives too.
00:14:41.100 To which I ask you,
00:14:43.100 what?
00:14:44.120 What would they be?
00:14:45.660 To make money?
00:14:47.300 No.
00:14:48.620 To improve
00:14:49.660 his reputation?
00:14:51.080 Politics isn't
00:14:52.300 going to do that.
00:14:54.000 To,
00:14:55.040 what?
00:14:56.120 Feed his ego?
00:14:58.400 Kanye is exactly
00:14:59.600 who you see,
00:15:01.240 right?
00:15:02.000 He has a big ego,
00:15:04.040 which he earned
00:15:05.320 by doing big things.
00:15:07.720 I don't know.
00:15:08.160 Is that a problem?
00:15:09.560 Doesn't look like
00:15:10.440 a problem.
00:15:12.720 So,
00:15:13.340 anyway,
00:15:13.740 he would be interesting.
00:15:14.920 And,
00:15:15.220 if I had to guess,
00:15:16.760 I'd say,
00:15:18.420 I don't know,
00:15:18.860 it's 50-50,
00:15:19.700 whether he's serious
00:15:21.020 about this thing.
00:15:21.920 And I'm not sure
00:15:22.520 he's decided yet,
00:15:23.520 so we'll find out.
00:15:25.580 Here's a way to know
00:15:26.640 if you are in a bubble.
00:15:30.060 I started the other day
00:15:31.480 to make a list
00:15:32.280 of people I thought
00:15:33.240 were independent thinkers.
00:15:35.800 And it was a pretty
00:15:36.680 short list.
00:15:38.300 People who you
00:15:39.180 could depend on
00:15:40.100 to look at the information
00:15:41.500 and just come up
00:15:42.420 with an independent opinion
00:15:43.680 that is not the same
00:15:45.500 as what the media
00:15:46.340 is assigning to people.
00:15:47.620 So,
00:15:48.640 there's only maybe,
00:15:49.660 I can think of maybe
00:15:50.360 20 people.
00:15:52.180 You know,
00:15:52.780 and some of them
00:15:53.760 are obvious,
00:15:54.380 right?
00:15:55.100 You know,
00:15:55.380 you could pretty much
00:15:56.340 depend on Mike Cernovich
00:15:57.980 to have an opinion
00:15:59.760 that's a well-thought-out
00:16:01.280 opinion that doesn't
00:16:02.100 match anybody else's.
00:16:03.720 An independent thought.
00:16:05.300 You could expect
00:16:06.120 that of,
00:16:06.920 you know,
00:16:08.920 maybe Joe Rogan
00:16:10.080 or Eric Weinstein.
00:16:12.360 You could expect
00:16:12.960 that of,
00:16:14.940 you know,
00:16:15.160 you can think
00:16:15.560 of a dozen people.
00:16:16.320 Michael Malice,
00:16:17.840 Matt Taibbi.
00:16:19.660 Tucker is a little,
00:16:21.360 I think the people
00:16:22.220 who work on TV news
00:16:23.820 have a little bit
00:16:26.120 of a constraint
00:16:26.880 on what they can do.
00:16:28.640 So,
00:16:29.240 but Tucker would be
00:16:30.360 a free thinker
00:16:31.660 within that environment.
00:16:33.500 Yeah.
00:16:34.080 Yeah,
00:16:34.360 Naval would be
00:16:35.400 an obvious one.
00:16:38.660 Matt Gaetz,
00:16:39.820 surprisingly,
00:16:41.200 for someone
00:16:41.720 who's a professional
00:16:42.560 politician,
00:16:43.260 Matt Gaetz
00:16:44.320 does seem to be
00:16:45.300 able to take
00:16:45.760 opinions that
00:16:46.580 don't match up
00:16:47.580 with his
00:16:48.000 party's average.
00:16:49.760 So I would say
00:16:50.360 that,
00:16:51.680 yes.
00:16:54.100 All right,
00:16:54.640 so,
00:16:55.660 yeah,
00:16:56.540 so you see
00:16:56.880 a number of other
00:16:57.540 names there.
00:16:58.420 So here's how to tell
00:16:59.200 if you're one of those
00:17:00.340 independent thinkers
00:17:01.240 or if your opinions
00:17:03.300 have been assigned
00:17:04.020 to you.
00:17:04.920 Think about
00:17:05.540 who your favorite
00:17:06.400 news source is.
00:17:08.440 It could be
00:17:08.960 the network
00:17:09.480 or it could be
00:17:10.340 an individual.
00:17:10.960 So you could say,
00:17:12.660 you might be saying,
00:17:13.420 oh,
00:17:13.520 it's Tucker
00:17:14.040 or it's,
00:17:16.000 I don't know,
00:17:16.640 Don Lemon
00:17:17.060 or whoever it is.
00:17:18.980 But think about
00:17:19.580 who your favorite
00:17:20.220 news source is
00:17:21.220 and then ask yourself
00:17:23.040 which of your opinions
00:17:24.200 disagree with that source.
00:17:26.640 If the answer
00:17:27.500 is none,
00:17:28.960 yes,
00:17:29.620 Glenn Greenwald
00:17:30.940 is another one.
00:17:32.180 Bill Maher
00:17:32.720 is another one.
00:17:36.020 Gottfeld
00:17:36.540 is another one.
00:17:37.360 Greg Gottfeld.
00:17:39.560 Yeah.
00:17:39.840 What's funny
00:17:41.960 is that you all
00:17:42.680 come up with
00:17:43.120 the same names.
00:17:44.340 Like,
00:17:44.540 I didn't have to
00:17:45.360 seed that list.
00:17:47.380 The list would
00:17:48.040 look the same
00:17:48.780 if you had just
00:17:50.940 made it yourself.
00:17:53.280 Rand Paul.
00:17:55.840 I like,
00:17:56.820 yeah,
00:17:57.480 okay,
00:17:58.100 I'll say Rand Paul.
00:18:00.300 Yeah,
00:18:00.620 I think we could
00:18:01.160 add him to the list
00:18:01.960 as an independent
00:18:03.580 thinker.
00:18:04.440 It's hard if your
00:18:05.400 job is senator.
00:18:07.140 You know,
00:18:07.420 there's a limit
00:18:08.200 to how much
00:18:08.680 independence you can
00:18:09.560 have as a senator.
00:18:10.680 You definitely
00:18:11.640 have to be
00:18:12.100 in a team,
00:18:13.160 but he's more
00:18:14.060 independent than
00:18:14.880 other people,
00:18:15.940 yes.
00:18:17.320 All right,
00:18:17.900 so ask yourself
00:18:19.060 that question,
00:18:20.660 and in the comments,
00:18:22.620 tell me in the comments,
00:18:23.840 if you just did
00:18:24.620 that exercise
00:18:25.360 that you had,
00:18:26.680 did you just
00:18:27.440 discover that
00:18:28.180 your opinions
00:18:29.440 are exactly
00:18:30.200 the ones
00:18:30.740 that are being
00:18:31.280 assigned to you?
00:18:34.460 Yeah,
00:18:35.020 Elon Musk
00:18:35.680 would be another one.
00:18:36.600 yep.
00:18:40.680 So let's
00:18:41.480 give an update
00:18:42.560 on the statue
00:18:43.300 chess.
00:18:44.840 So the president
00:18:45.600 weighed in
00:18:46.320 about this
00:18:47.660 Frederick Douglass
00:18:48.800 statue of,
00:18:50.600 he's an abolitionist,
00:18:52.200 was ripped from
00:18:53.180 its base in
00:18:53.800 Rochester,
00:18:54.400 New York,
00:18:54.800 and dumped
00:18:55.440 over a fence
00:18:56.160 or something.
00:18:57.220 Now,
00:18:57.500 nobody saw it
00:18:58.140 done.
00:18:59.660 Now,
00:18:59.920 do you think
00:19:00.340 if somebody
00:19:00.780 took down
00:19:01.260 an abolitionist
00:19:02.380 statue,
00:19:03.560 and there's
00:19:03.980 no video
00:19:04.580 of it happening,
00:19:05.480 and nobody
00:19:05.860 took credit,
00:19:07.300 does that sound
00:19:07.960 like the
00:19:09.040 protesters did
00:19:09.880 that,
00:19:10.280 or does it
00:19:10.680 sound like
00:19:11.080 a revenge?
00:19:12.580 I'm pretty
00:19:13.300 sure that's
00:19:13.800 a revenge
00:19:14.400 statue situation.
00:19:16.560 That just
00:19:17.240 sounds like
00:19:17.660 somebody on
00:19:18.280 the other
00:19:18.600 side who
00:19:19.120 said,
00:19:19.460 well,
00:19:20.360 you know,
00:19:20.780 if we're
00:19:21.180 playing chess
00:19:21.860 with statues,
00:19:22.720 I'm going
00:19:22.960 to take
00:19:23.220 one of your
00:19:23.580 pieces.
00:19:24.700 Now,
00:19:25.520 I watch
00:19:26.560 this with
00:19:27.000 amusement,
00:19:27.800 because I'm
00:19:28.620 not very
00:19:29.060 invested in
00:19:29.860 statues,
00:19:31.220 so let me
00:19:32.160 explain that.
00:19:33.140 if you
00:19:34.400 make a
00:19:34.860 statue and
00:19:35.420 somebody
00:19:35.720 rips it
00:19:36.160 down,
00:19:37.480 I can see
00:19:38.220 why you'd
00:19:38.640 be mad,
00:19:39.240 I can see
00:19:39.700 maybe why
00:19:40.220 the other
00:19:40.520 person would
00:19:41.020 be mad at
00:19:41.740 whatever your
00:19:42.520 statue stood
00:19:43.240 for,
00:19:43.980 but I don't
00:19:44.540 really care.
00:19:46.720 I want,
00:19:47.640 I suppose I
00:19:48.440 guess I want
00:19:49.100 to care,
00:19:49.700 just because
00:19:50.100 it's in the
00:19:50.560 news,
00:19:51.200 but I can't
00:19:52.100 think of
00:19:52.360 anything less
00:19:52.880 important.
00:19:54.420 Think about
00:19:55.040 the fact that,
00:19:55.980 you know,
00:19:56.280 let's say your
00:19:56.860 parents and
00:19:57.440 grandparents grew
00:19:58.800 up with problems
00:19:59.820 like World
00:20:00.600 War II.
00:20:01.480 Now,
00:20:03.180 that's a
00:20:03.640 problem.
00:20:04.460 How about,
00:20:05.280 you know,
00:20:07.060 how about,
00:20:07.540 you know,
00:20:08.120 women can't
00:20:08.900 vote?
00:20:10.400 That's a
00:20:11.000 problem.
00:20:12.060 How about
00:20:12.460 slavery?
00:20:13.980 That's a
00:20:14.480 problem.
00:20:15.740 How about
00:20:16.180 the Great
00:20:16.720 Depression?
00:20:18.060 That's a
00:20:18.560 problem.
00:20:19.720 These are
00:20:20.140 big problems.
00:20:21.440 Fast forward
00:20:22.120 to today.
00:20:24.060 Hey,
00:20:24.700 somebody ruined
00:20:25.420 a statue
00:20:25.940 that my team
00:20:27.240 likes.
00:20:28.020 Well,
00:20:28.380 we'll ruin
00:20:28.860 your statue.
00:20:29.540 that's it.
00:20:32.380 Have we
00:20:32.980 become such
00:20:34.300 ridiculous whiners
00:20:36.200 that we think
00:20:37.700 the world is
00:20:38.300 ending because
00:20:38.900 we're having a
00:20:39.740 chess game with
00:20:40.580 statues?
00:20:41.620 Do you know
00:20:42.160 how many
00:20:42.440 statues I care
00:20:43.460 about?
00:20:44.660 None.
00:20:45.600 None.
00:20:46.460 There's not a
00:20:47.020 single statue I
00:20:47.900 care about.
00:20:48.480 Well,
00:20:49.360 I'll make an
00:20:49.840 exception for,
00:20:50.760 let's say,
00:20:51.280 the Lincoln
00:20:51.980 Monument.
00:20:53.200 You know,
00:20:53.580 the ones that
00:20:54.740 are actually so
00:20:55.880 famous.
00:20:57.160 You know,
00:20:57.480 Mount Rushmore,
00:20:58.900 you know,
00:20:59.500 those are
00:20:59.900 special cases.
00:21:01.660 But just a
00:21:02.240 statue,
00:21:03.360 a statue in a
00:21:04.240 park that I
00:21:04.860 never heard of,
00:21:06.500 if you're
00:21:07.200 getting worked
00:21:07.680 up over
00:21:08.100 statues,
00:21:09.300 I think you're
00:21:09.860 missing the
00:21:10.280 bigger picture
00:21:10.860 that if all
00:21:12.240 that's happening
00:21:12.780 is our statues
00:21:13.560 are coming
00:21:14.020 down,
00:21:15.200 that doesn't
00:21:15.820 feel like a
00:21:16.440 big problem.
00:21:17.800 Now,
00:21:18.160 I understand
00:21:18.740 the argument.
00:21:19.600 Let me make
00:21:20.220 the argument
00:21:20.600 for you.
00:21:21.660 It's part of
00:21:22.520 a larger
00:21:23.100 Marxist
00:21:23.940 plan to
00:21:25.680 first remove
00:21:26.560 our symbolism
00:21:27.560 to carve
00:21:29.580 away at
00:21:30.180 our national
00:21:30.700 identity,
00:21:31.920 carve away at
00:21:32.460 the psychology
00:21:33.220 of patriotism
00:21:34.420 until it's a
00:21:35.600 softened up
00:21:36.220 environment to
00:21:36.980 make their
00:21:37.300 big push to
00:21:38.160 turn us into
00:21:39.320 a Marxist
00:21:39.940 country.
00:21:41.080 Maybe.
00:21:43.200 Maybe.
00:21:44.280 I don't know
00:21:45.020 how many of
00:21:45.560 the protesters
00:21:46.160 have that
00:21:46.800 thought process.
00:21:48.860 And let me
00:21:49.560 ask you this.
00:21:50.400 If we had
00:21:51.140 something like
00:21:51.860 a news
00:21:52.500 organization,
00:21:54.160 would you
00:21:54.620 not see on
00:21:55.280 the news
00:21:55.860 one of
00:21:56.760 these
00:21:57.000 Marxists
00:21:57.720 being
00:21:58.720 interviewed?
00:21:59.800 Now,
00:22:00.280 they might
00:22:00.560 lie and
00:22:01.420 say,
00:22:01.680 oh,
00:22:01.960 no,
00:22:02.260 that's not
00:22:02.660 our plan.
00:22:03.140 We just
00:22:03.420 don't like
00:22:03.820 these statues.
00:22:05.200 But shouldn't
00:22:05.840 you have
00:22:06.160 somebody on
00:22:06.740 there that
00:22:07.080 you at
00:22:07.660 least believe
00:22:08.620 has that
00:22:09.840 view so
00:22:11.120 they can be
00:22:11.640 interviewed?
00:22:12.460 Let me ask
00:22:13.180 you this.
00:22:13.580 If you
00:22:13.920 believe that
00:22:15.700 the whole
00:22:16.300 statue thing
00:22:17.100 is part of
00:22:17.600 the larger
00:22:18.260 Marxist
00:22:18.980 revolution,
00:22:20.140 ask yourself
00:22:20.880 why the
00:22:21.320 news that
00:22:21.920 you watch
00:22:22.840 doesn't
00:22:23.880 have any
00:22:24.580 representative
00:22:25.220 of that
00:22:25.900 opinion on
00:22:26.640 their show?
00:22:28.980 I'm going
00:22:29.620 to take
00:22:29.900 this opinion
00:22:30.540 until facts
00:22:32.420 change,
00:22:32.900 all right?
00:22:33.520 So I'll
00:22:34.080 give you a
00:22:34.860 temporary
00:22:35.420 opinion.
00:22:36.660 It goes
00:22:37.080 like this.
00:22:39.380 If you
00:22:40.100 don't see
00:22:40.640 an interview
00:22:41.120 of somebody
00:22:41.940 who has
00:22:42.300 that opinion
00:22:42.880 on any
00:22:44.540 network,
00:22:45.580 there's no
00:22:46.300 network that
00:22:46.860 has somebody
00:22:47.280 on saying,
00:22:47.740 okay,
00:22:48.300 what you
00:22:48.940 really want
00:22:49.360 to do is
00:22:49.940 introduce
00:22:51.280 Marxism.
00:22:52.840 Can you
00:22:53.340 explain that?
00:22:54.400 Tell us
00:22:55.020 why you
00:22:55.340 want that,
00:22:55.820 et cetera.
00:22:56.620 Where's
00:22:56.960 that person?
00:22:58.240 Really?
00:22:58.740 You can't
00:22:59.140 find one
00:22:59.560 person?
00:23:00.700 You should
00:23:01.320 assume that
00:23:01.800 it's just
00:23:02.080 not true.
00:23:04.160 Or that
00:23:05.280 your news
00:23:05.900 business is
00:23:07.340 no longer
00:23:07.780 in the news
00:23:08.260 business and
00:23:08.860 they don't
00:23:09.140 want to
00:23:09.400 show it
00:23:09.700 to you.
00:23:10.420 Because if
00:23:11.260 it were
00:23:11.520 true,
00:23:11.940 at least
00:23:12.800 Fox News
00:23:13.820 would be
00:23:14.400 interviewing
00:23:14.800 that person,
00:23:15.540 right?
00:23:16.300 At the
00:23:16.940 very least,
00:23:18.440 you'd see
00:23:19.180 the right
00:23:19.640 leading
00:23:20.080 publications
00:23:21.540 have sit
00:23:22.480 down
00:23:22.720 interviews
00:23:23.180 with
00:23:23.460 somebody
00:23:23.800 who
00:23:23.960 just
00:23:24.140 tries
00:23:24.440 to
00:23:24.600 tell
00:23:24.800 you
00:23:25.060 why
00:23:26.280 their
00:23:26.840 view
00:23:27.160 of the
00:23:27.420 future
00:23:27.760 of the
00:23:28.160 country
00:23:28.460 is
00:23:28.640 the
00:23:28.780 right
00:23:28.940 one.
00:23:29.220 You
00:23:29.300 don't
00:23:29.460 see
00:23:29.640 that.
00:23:30.680 Which
00:23:30.940 makes
00:23:31.260 me
00:23:31.480 believe
00:23:31.940 that
00:23:32.720 the
00:23:32.860 whole
00:23:33.140 Marxist
00:23:33.840 story
00:23:34.340 is
00:23:34.700 just
00:23:34.980 complete
00:23:35.540 hallucination.
00:23:37.260 Now,
00:23:37.520 what would
00:23:37.820 it take
00:23:38.140 to change
00:23:38.580 my mind?
00:23:39.480 Here's
00:23:39.800 a good
00:23:40.040 question
00:23:40.380 you should
00:23:40.740 ask
00:23:41.000 yourself
00:23:41.360 all the
00:23:41.780 time.
00:23:42.720 Ask
00:23:43.180 yourself
00:23:43.500 this.
00:23:44.260 This
00:23:44.500 is my
00:23:44.860 opinion,
00:23:45.480 whatever
00:23:45.720 the
00:23:45.980 topic.
00:23:47.120 What
00:23:47.400 would
00:23:47.580 it
00:23:47.740 take
00:23:48.120 to
00:23:48.740 change
00:23:49.160 my
00:23:49.400 mind?
00:23:50.440 Here's
00:23:50.960 what it
00:23:51.180 would
00:23:51.300 take
00:23:51.500 for me.
00:23:53.120 It
00:23:53.620 would
00:23:53.760 take
00:23:54.060 an
00:23:54.360 interview
00:23:54.680 with
00:23:55.080 somebody
00:23:55.400 who
00:23:55.580 represents
00:23:56.100 that
00:23:56.340 opinion
00:23:56.660 and I
00:23:57.800 could be
00:23:58.100 convinced
00:23:58.500 that they
00:23:58.980 represent
00:23:59.480 other
00:23:59.920 people's
00:24:00.320 opinion
00:24:00.620 because
00:24:01.020 they
00:24:01.280 say
00:24:01.700 they're
00:24:01.900 part
00:24:02.120 of a
00:24:02.340 larger
00:24:02.560 group
00:24:02.880 or
00:24:03.040 something.
00:24:04.500 Now,
00:24:05.140 if you
00:24:06.300 say
00:24:06.500 you've
00:24:06.720 seen
00:24:06.880 it,
00:24:07.420 it's
00:24:07.760 clearly
00:24:08.120 not
00:24:08.540 something
00:24:09.960 that's
00:24:10.780 well
00:24:11.880 represented.
00:24:13.480 They
00:24:14.060 don't
00:24:14.240 label
00:24:14.560 them.
00:24:17.220 Looks
00:24:17.800 like
00:24:18.020 Scott
00:24:18.260 needs
00:24:18.460 to
00:24:18.640 find
00:24:18.820 that
00:24:18.980 interview
00:24:19.300 himself.
00:24:20.000 Somebody
00:24:20.160 says,
00:24:20.480 I don't
00:24:20.720 think
00:24:20.920 the
00:24:21.060 person
00:24:21.300 exists.
00:24:22.860 Likewise,
00:24:23.660 when was
00:24:23.940 the last
00:24:24.220 time you
00:24:24.560 saw a
00:24:24.980 white
00:24:25.200 supremacist
00:24:26.140 interviewed
00:24:27.040 anywhere?
00:24:28.600 The
00:24:28.960 reason is
00:24:29.500 because they
00:24:30.260 sort of
00:24:30.640 don't
00:24:30.880 exist.
00:24:34.120 Now,
00:24:34.720 of course,
00:24:35.040 the word
00:24:35.320 white
00:24:35.580 supremacist
00:24:36.240 has now
00:24:36.680 morphed
00:24:37.600 into a
00:24:38.120 whole
00:24:38.280 different
00:24:38.620 meaning,
00:24:39.320 but in
00:24:39.720 terms of
00:24:40.040 the old
00:24:40.400 time,
00:24:40.880 people who
00:24:41.480 thought that
00:24:42.000 everybody
00:24:42.380 in their
00:24:42.740 group was
00:24:43.280 superior to
00:24:43.980 everybody
00:24:44.300 in some
00:24:44.720 other
00:24:44.920 group,
00:24:45.880 that just
00:24:46.320 doesn't
00:24:46.640 exist anymore
00:24:47.360 because it's
00:24:48.320 just too
00:24:48.680 obvious that
00:24:49.300 the very
00:24:49.800 variety among
00:24:51.680 people is
00:24:52.320 so great
00:24:52.920 that even
00:24:54.820 if you
00:24:55.160 could find
00:24:55.540 statistically
00:24:56.360 averages that
00:24:58.220 hold up when
00:24:59.680 you do the
00:25:00.080 math,
00:25:00.780 it wouldn't
00:25:01.180 tell you
00:25:01.520 anything about
00:25:01.960 an individual.
00:25:03.540 There's too
00:25:04.080 much individual
00:25:04.700 variation.
00:25:05.700 So the
00:25:05.920 old
00:25:06.140 supremacists
00:25:08.000 just sort of
00:25:08.500 don't exist.
00:25:09.760 And if they
00:25:10.200 do, they're
00:25:10.620 just toothless
00:25:11.440 people who
00:25:11.880 haven't seen
00:25:12.280 the news
00:25:12.660 in 20 years.
00:25:13.560 All right.
00:25:15.680 I should not
00:25:16.520 make fun of
00:25:16.980 the toothless.
00:25:21.420 So Trump
00:25:22.420 tweeted today.
00:25:25.980 I have to
00:25:28.140 read the
00:25:28.540 tweet.
00:25:30.100 He said,
00:25:30.840 Has Bubba
00:25:31.880 Wallace
00:25:32.240 apologized to
00:25:33.280 all those
00:25:33.660 great NASCAR
00:25:34.420 drivers and
00:25:35.040 officials who
00:25:36.140 came to his
00:25:36.700 aid, stood
00:25:37.380 by his side
00:25:38.000 and were
00:25:38.360 willing to
00:25:38.800 sacrifice
00:25:39.180 everything for
00:25:39.980 him, only to
00:25:41.020 find out that
00:25:41.520 the whole thing
00:25:42.000 was just
00:25:42.380 another hoax?
00:25:43.560 That and
00:25:44.380 flag decision
00:25:45.060 has caused
00:25:45.620 lowest ratings
00:25:46.320 ever.
00:25:47.700 Now, the
00:25:48.640 first question
00:25:49.120 is, what was
00:25:49.700 the flag
00:25:50.200 decision he's
00:25:50.900 talking about?
00:25:52.140 Because people
00:25:52.960 are interpreting
00:25:53.680 it to be the
00:25:55.000 decision to get
00:25:55.800 rid of the
00:25:56.160 confederate flag
00:25:57.200 on race cars.
00:25:58.580 But there
00:25:59.420 is also a
00:26:00.000 decision to
00:26:00.660 allow people
00:26:01.340 to kneel
00:26:01.920 for the
00:26:02.960 national anthem.
00:26:03.800 So we don't
00:26:04.120 know which one
00:26:04.540 he's talking
00:26:04.940 about.
00:26:05.380 We'll see if
00:26:05.800 he clarifies
00:26:06.380 that.
00:26:07.100 If he's
00:26:07.560 talking about
00:26:08.040 the confederate
00:26:08.700 flag, then
00:26:09.260 he's obviously
00:26:10.000 decided not to
00:26:10.940 be president.
00:26:12.120 But we'll
00:26:13.440 see if he
00:26:13.800 clarifies that.
00:26:14.860 If he's
00:26:15.220 talking about
00:26:15.620 the regular
00:26:16.040 flag, then
00:26:16.540 that's just
00:26:16.940 him talking
00:26:17.360 the way he
00:26:17.720 talks.
00:26:19.160 But the
00:26:19.540 second question
00:26:20.120 is, asking
00:26:21.280 Bamba to
00:26:21.780 apologize for
00:26:22.560 something we
00:26:23.080 know wasn't
00:26:23.740 his fault?
00:26:25.420 Because we
00:26:26.140 know he never
00:26:26.740 saw it.
00:26:27.320 He was told by
00:26:27.940 somebody he
00:26:28.520 trusted, the
00:26:29.640 president of
00:26:30.280 NASCAR, right?
00:26:31.640 Told him it
00:26:32.300 happened.
00:26:33.180 He believes a
00:26:34.360 very credible
00:26:35.020 source.
00:26:36.340 And then he
00:26:36.920 acted upon it.
00:26:37.720 And then when
00:26:38.280 he found out
00:26:38.720 it wasn't
00:26:39.120 real, he
00:26:40.920 released a
00:26:42.720 statement that
00:26:43.260 I praised as
00:26:44.160 being really
00:26:44.700 well-written,
00:26:45.980 which said,
00:26:46.700 well, I'd
00:26:47.060 rather look
00:26:47.560 silly than
00:26:48.940 to have this
00:26:49.460 be real.
00:26:50.160 Thanks for
00:26:50.560 all the
00:26:50.800 support.
00:26:51.360 Isn't it
00:26:51.660 great for
00:26:52.080 all the
00:26:52.700 support?
00:26:54.020 One of the
00:26:54.680 best recovery
00:26:56.800 response statements
00:26:58.980 by a celebrity
00:27:00.320 I've ever seen.
00:27:02.160 It really was
00:27:02.840 one of the
00:27:03.380 model responses
00:27:04.940 to somebody
00:27:06.220 who messed
00:27:06.840 up.
00:27:07.760 It wasn't
00:27:08.100 really his
00:27:08.540 fault.
00:27:09.380 So he
00:27:09.780 acknowledges he
00:27:10.540 looks silly,
00:27:11.840 says, well, I'm
00:27:12.660 glad it wasn't
00:27:13.180 the bad thing.
00:27:14.300 Thanks, everybody,
00:27:15.080 for having the
00:27:15.520 right intentions
00:27:16.200 and supporting
00:27:16.780 me.
00:27:17.240 I don't think it
00:27:18.060 could have been
00:27:18.460 better, really.
00:27:19.900 So the
00:27:20.300 president, reading
00:27:21.400 the room
00:27:22.020 wrong, or is
00:27:24.580 he reading the
00:27:25.160 room correctly,
00:27:27.340 makes a
00:27:27.960 statement in
00:27:28.580 which he
00:27:29.100 basically wrongly
00:27:30.980 accuses a black
00:27:32.020 man in public.
00:27:33.540 Now, if you
00:27:34.480 could ever read
00:27:35.200 the room more
00:27:36.160 wrong than that,
00:27:38.020 I would say
00:27:38.640 that accusing
00:27:39.400 a black man of
00:27:40.980 a crime he did
00:27:41.840 not commit,
00:27:43.220 because like I
00:27:43.840 said, he was
00:27:44.840 just acting on
00:27:45.520 information that
00:27:46.200 came from
00:27:46.580 somebody else,
00:27:47.740 and the way he
00:27:48.540 acted was
00:27:50.260 completely appropriate
00:27:51.300 with the
00:27:51.960 information he
00:27:52.640 had as it
00:27:53.560 came to him.
00:27:54.780 So there
00:27:55.220 wasn't anything
00:27:55.860 he did that
00:27:56.480 he needs to
00:27:56.940 apologize for,
00:27:57.840 in my opinion.
00:27:59.480 So falsely
00:28:01.140 blaming a black
00:28:02.160 man in public
00:28:03.520 today?
00:28:06.240 I don't know
00:28:07.320 if your instincts
00:28:08.020 could be much
00:28:08.640 worse than that.
00:28:11.200 Now, I can see
00:28:12.180 why it, you know,
00:28:13.440 riles up the
00:28:14.100 base.
00:28:14.520 You'd like to
00:28:15.040 think it's not
00:28:15.620 because of
00:28:16.140 racism, but
00:28:16.920 rather, you know,
00:28:18.300 he just represents
00:28:19.040 somebody on the
00:28:19.800 other side.
00:28:20.940 But I don't
00:28:21.680 know, this just
00:28:22.260 looked like such
00:28:22.980 an own goal
00:28:24.500 that you
00:28:26.680 got to turn
00:28:27.140 the, this
00:28:28.080 one turns
00:28:28.600 the
00:28:28.960 slaughter
00:28:30.440 meter back.
00:28:31.940 I think that
00:28:32.680 turns it back
00:28:33.200 to zero.
00:28:35.800 Of course, the
00:28:36.860 Kanye thing is
00:28:37.820 the only thing
00:28:38.220 that matters.
00:28:38.660 So it doesn't
00:28:39.020 matter what
00:28:39.440 Trump does at
00:28:40.160 this point,
00:28:40.660 and it doesn't
00:28:41.200 matter what
00:28:41.560 Biden does,
00:28:42.780 probably.
00:28:43.540 It probably
00:28:43.900 doesn't matter.
00:28:45.140 It probably
00:28:45.940 only matters
00:28:46.640 what Kanye
00:28:47.260 does from
00:28:48.220 this point on,
00:28:49.540 because Kanye
00:28:50.120 gets to pick
00:28:50.700 the president.
00:28:53.820 Formula One
00:28:54.660 drivers, who
00:28:55.660 are different
00:28:56.080 from NASCAR
00:28:56.820 if you don't
00:28:57.620 follow the
00:28:58.200 sport, Formula
00:28:59.240 One drivers
00:29:00.340 in a separate
00:29:00.960 story, some
00:29:03.860 of them are
00:29:04.260 standing and
00:29:04.820 some of them
00:29:05.200 are kneeling,
00:29:05.880 I guess there
00:29:06.420 was a race
00:29:06.880 yesterday or
00:29:07.400 something, and
00:29:08.720 a few of them
00:29:09.500 don't want to
00:29:10.060 wear Black
00:29:10.600 Lives Matter
00:29:11.160 shirts, but
00:29:12.780 they instead
00:29:13.480 wore a black
00:29:14.220 shirt that
00:29:14.660 says, end
00:29:15.120 racism, and
00:29:16.140 they didn't
00:29:16.460 want to kneel
00:29:17.140 at the, must
00:29:19.100 have been during
00:29:19.560 the National
00:29:19.980 International, but
00:29:21.160 they were
00:29:21.480 willing to
00:29:21.940 stand there
00:29:22.660 with their
00:29:23.020 shirts.
00:29:24.160 So now we're
00:29:24.740 getting some
00:29:25.180 nuance from
00:29:25.860 people.
00:29:26.500 I don't think
00:29:27.020 that's going to
00:29:27.480 go well.
00:29:28.560 Eventually those
00:29:29.280 people will have
00:29:29.800 to fight, I
00:29:30.360 guess.
00:29:31.580 I don't know.
00:29:33.780 So the two
00:29:34.540 biggest news
00:29:35.240 stories in the
00:29:36.360 country, I
00:29:37.300 think you'd
00:29:37.660 agree, are the
00:29:38.120 coronavirus and
00:29:39.680 race relations.
00:29:40.620 Would you
00:29:40.860 agree?
00:29:41.960 I mean, the
00:29:42.380 economy is always
00:29:43.220 a story, but
00:29:43.920 that's sort of a
00:29:44.860 permanent always
00:29:45.740 story.
00:29:46.660 But in terms of
00:29:47.460 really the most
00:29:48.880 current of events,
00:29:49.980 it would be
00:29:51.460 coronavirus and
00:29:52.400 race relations.
00:29:54.140 Your news
00:29:54.820 sources do not
00:29:55.760 report useful
00:29:57.160 data on either
00:29:58.800 of those stories.
00:30:00.240 The two biggest
00:30:01.040 stories and your
00:30:02.820 news sources don't
00:30:03.640 even try to
00:30:04.780 report useful
00:30:05.500 data.
00:30:06.440 Let me tell you
00:30:07.120 what would be
00:30:07.580 useful data.
00:30:08.940 The death
00:30:09.780 count every day
00:30:11.380 from the
00:30:12.380 coronavirus.
00:30:13.440 Instead, they
00:30:13.980 show us the
00:30:14.480 infections.
00:30:15.720 Now it's very
00:30:16.340 obvious that if
00:30:17.160 they show you the
00:30:17.760 infections instead of
00:30:18.900 the death
00:30:19.220 count, and you
00:30:20.180 can't deny that
00:30:21.280 it's intentional at
00:30:22.120 this point, both
00:30:23.200 on the left and
00:30:23.800 the right, neither
00:30:24.480 of them will show
00:30:25.080 you the useful
00:30:25.900 data.
00:30:27.760 Sorry, I'm going
00:30:28.560 to have to go
00:30:29.200 blow my nose pretty
00:30:30.000 soon.
00:30:30.880 Let me see if I
00:30:31.420 can end this
00:30:32.100 quickly.
00:30:35.040 For the
00:30:35.560 coronavirus, if
00:30:36.500 they don't show
00:30:36.920 you the death
00:30:37.360 count, they're just
00:30:38.120 giving you propaganda
00:30:39.280 and manipulation,
00:30:40.600 because that's an
00:30:41.380 important number,
00:30:42.100 and you need to
00:30:42.600 know it, and
00:30:43.520 they're not telling
00:30:44.060 you.
00:30:44.240 It's very
00:30:44.860 obvious it's
00:30:45.700 intentional.
00:30:47.240 Secondly, for
00:30:48.460 race relations, if
00:30:49.500 they really wanted
00:30:50.300 to give us data
00:30:51.220 instead of just
00:30:52.680 riling us up, they
00:30:54.280 would show us all
00:30:54.980 the death counts
00:30:55.800 over time and
00:30:57.160 compared to things.
00:30:58.320 They would show
00:30:58.980 you how many
00:30:59.640 cops are killing
00:31:00.420 black people, white
00:31:01.360 people, different
00:31:02.340 colors.
00:31:03.660 They would show
00:31:04.100 it over time, they
00:31:04.940 would show it by
00:31:05.420 city, maybe state,
00:31:07.060 maybe show you by
00:31:08.000 whether it's a
00:31:08.660 Democrat mayor or a
00:31:09.880 Republican mayor.
00:31:10.700 That would be
00:31:11.120 useful, right?
00:31:12.280 Because you want to
00:31:12.860 know if a Democrat
00:31:13.660 or Republican
00:31:14.420 approach makes a
00:31:15.280 difference.
00:31:16.820 You would also
00:31:17.560 need to see the
00:31:18.300 number of people
00:31:18.840 who were just
00:31:19.180 murdered.
00:31:20.180 How many black
00:31:20.820 people killed
00:31:21.300 black people this
00:31:22.260 week and over
00:31:23.440 time?
00:31:23.880 How many white
00:31:24.400 people killed
00:31:24.860 black people?
00:31:25.500 How many black
00:31:25.940 people killed
00:31:26.360 white people?
00:31:27.100 If you're not
00:31:27.620 seeing that, you're
00:31:28.900 just seeing
00:31:29.420 propaganda.
00:31:30.620 Would you
00:31:31.020 agree?
00:31:32.620 It's just
00:31:33.260 propaganda if you
00:31:34.260 don't see the
00:31:34.780 basic death
00:31:35.940 counts and you're
00:31:36.980 being just fed a
00:31:38.040 story.
00:31:39.160 All right.
00:31:40.720 I need to go.
00:31:42.720 Oh, then I
00:31:43.220 guess over on
00:31:45.240 Fox News, they're
00:31:46.120 turning it against
00:31:46.800 Trump as well.
00:31:47.740 So there's a
00:31:48.540 opinion piece
00:31:50.460 written by Edmund
00:31:51.360 DeMarche.
00:31:52.400 I've never seen
00:31:52.900 him before, but
00:31:53.940 he's on Fox
00:31:54.520 News, at least
00:31:56.000 an opinion piece
00:31:56.920 on their website.
00:31:58.580 And he said that
00:31:59.460 this is his
00:32:00.540 interpretation of
00:32:01.480 Trump.
00:32:02.500 So on a Fox
00:32:03.380 News site, this
00:32:05.620 opinion exists.
00:32:07.400 Trump has
00:32:07.880 praised the,
00:32:08.900 quote, beautiful
00:32:09.620 heritage of the
00:32:10.640 Confederacy.
00:32:11.340 Did that
00:32:12.720 happen?
00:32:13.780 Did you ever
00:32:14.480 see Trump
00:32:15.140 praise the,
00:32:17.020 quote, beautiful
00:32:17.680 heritage of the
00:32:18.840 Confederacy?
00:32:20.240 No.
00:32:21.400 No, that
00:32:21.860 never happened.
00:32:22.980 He praised our
00:32:24.060 beautiful heritage
00:32:25.000 and the
00:32:26.520 Confederacy and
00:32:27.520 all manner of
00:32:28.120 bad things and
00:32:28.840 all manner of
00:32:29.340 good things are
00:32:29.920 part of our
00:32:30.400 heritage.
00:32:31.240 But no, he
00:32:32.100 never praised the
00:32:33.400 beautiful heritage
00:32:34.280 of the Confederacy.
00:32:36.160 And this is on
00:32:36.760 Fox News, which
00:32:38.140 means they've
00:32:38.640 turned against
00:32:39.180 him at least to
00:32:39.980 some point.
00:32:41.160 And then it
00:32:42.020 also calls out
00:32:42.880 that he called
00:32:43.700 the protesters,
00:32:44.660 quote, thugs.
00:32:46.320 Now that's called
00:32:47.340 out to call him a
00:32:48.440 racist by
00:32:49.780 implication.
00:32:50.640 And that's on
00:32:51.060 Fox News.
00:32:52.380 So even Fox
00:32:53.520 News is running
00:32:54.200 an anti-Trump
00:32:55.160 piece.
00:32:57.860 All right.
00:32:58.440 That's all I got
00:32:59.000 for now.
00:32:59.900 I've got to go
00:33:00.360 take care of some
00:33:00.940 stuff and I will
00:33:01.740 talk to you
00:33:02.280 later.
00:33:03.220 here.
00:33:05.560 Okay.
