00:00:00.000 Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum hey everybody
00:00:09.960 don't go away I'm looking for something that you're gonna like maybe maybe and it goes like this
00:00:20.680 that's right it's my theme song I've got a theme song and I also I always wanted to have some
00:00:39.040 something like a co-host but if you have a co-host then you've got to worry about you know coordinating
00:00:46.480 with them and are they talking when you want to talk and and all those things so instead of having
00:00:52.780 a co-host I just recorded myself complimenting myself that is brilliant so that's my co-host
00:01:05.320 and of course if I say something that's hilarious normally the co-host would do the the fake laugh
00:01:13.540 but I just recorded my own fake laugh so imagine I say something funny and then
00:01:20.260 see so you don't need an actual person I've replaced another human with a robot now I know why you're
00:01:39.280 here and I know you want to have the simultaneous sip before we get to the good stuff and all you
00:01:44.000 need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind
00:01:50.260 fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the dopamine hit of the day
00:01:58.960 the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and you can enjoy it now go
00:02:06.340 hmm I don't know about you but I feel that my mouth is becoming like an n95 mask just from having the
00:02:21.160 simultaneous sip yeah I am I am that protected from the coronavirus
00:02:26.260 so here's an interesting thing uh reddit or somebody on reddit did a split screen of Kamala Harris
00:02:36.860 so you can see her before and after her face looked different for reasons that we don't have any
00:02:43.820 confirmation for but I have alleged based on my expert uh advisors that uh Kamala probably had some
00:02:54.080 cosmetic surgery not probably I'd say something in the 100 range of probability I had some cosmetic
00:03:02.440 surgery and but what was interesting is the reddit did a split screen where they took the left part of
00:03:09.860 her face from you know a few weeks ago and then they put the right side of her face as it looked in
00:03:16.060 that interview next to it and man it does not look like the same person it really doesn't look like the
00:03:22.200 same person so people were speculating on reddit because it's reddit that maybe it was a deep fake
00:03:28.360 maybe it's the first time you've seen a digital reproduction of a politician and it wasn't actually
00:03:37.120 her is that possible no no it's not it's not possible um let me say this it's possible technically
00:03:49.280 technically technically they could have done a digital uh deep fake of Kamala Harris that would
00:03:56.060 look a lot more like her prior self than the one that was actually on camera which didn't look like
00:04:03.240 her at all because she's still a bit swollen I think from the surgery they may have some nerves that
00:04:09.340 need to uh you know reconstruct themselves over time so here's my take the reason that we eliminate
00:04:17.100 the option that it was a deep fake what's the one reason that you know it wasn't a deep fake
00:04:23.540 because it wasn't good enough right if you did a deep fake it would look a whole lot like the real
00:04:31.840 person but but because of the surgery she didn't look even close to what she used to look like so you
00:04:38.800 wouldn't do a deep fake that poorly so you can rule out deep fake as one of the options somebody said
00:04:45.320 that it was a body double you can't rule that one out yeah you want to rule out body double because
00:04:53.720 it's ridiculous but i can't rule that one out i happen to think it's a very low chance it's that
00:05:02.180 and like i said a hundred percent chance really that it was just a recovering from surgery and like i said
00:05:09.080 uh i'm definitely not if any of this sounds like i'm making fun of her or that i'm mocking her for
00:05:16.460 that i'm not because i'm completely in favor of cosmetic surgery but there are good ones that are
00:05:22.660 bad ones and there are ways to handle it and there there are ways not to handle it uh and if i were her
00:05:28.440 i would not have gone on camera that soon but um she did and if everything uh heals up the way it
00:05:36.500 should she's probably going to look great relative to how she looked before and uh she'll come out
00:05:43.140 ahead possible but i think that the fact that she had the surgery this close to the nomination process
00:05:50.960 sort of suggests maybe she's not the one they picked because i just can't see her doing that
00:05:58.660 interview with her post cosmetic surgery face i assume just an assumption uh i can't see that her
00:06:08.460 advisors would have let her do that unless they just didn't know how to say to her um kamala give
00:06:14.560 it a few weeks you don't look quite right yet but they should have so it's making me wonder if she's
00:06:20.740 still the number one choice for biden because this would argue against it um but we'll see
00:06:26.980 here's a question i have for you how close are we as a country to having widely available
00:06:34.740 and widely available is important because if it's not widely available it doesn't count
00:06:40.080 instant test results for covet 19
00:06:43.440 i know i've heard of at least one startup that was trying to get that done fairly quickly and
00:06:52.120 thought they were close to it but you know that was over a month ago so i don't know where that's at
00:06:58.660 so here's the question how can we get to the other side of this without either vaccines or the ability to
00:07:06.820 get a test result right away so you don't go out and reinfect the public for six days while you're
00:07:12.460 waiting for a test um don't say vaccines never so some of you think the vaccines will never happen
00:07:23.140 and i don't disagree with that i would say i am curious why this one would have
00:07:30.380 a widely effective vaccine when that's not something we've had in the past maybe because
00:07:36.580 we're trying harder i don't know but uh i've got a real question on that and there's no reporting
00:07:42.440 that i know of showing startups who are close to having some kind of instant test results now
00:07:48.880 that's different from a quick test the test itself is quick getting the results is what makes you wait
00:07:55.460 how interesting is it that the united states has put uh now some sanctions on some chinese elites
00:08:05.600 in the communist party for their uh abuse of the uyghur muslim minority in china why is it that
00:08:16.020 the uh the people who hate trump the most well i guess i'm answering my own question but they don't
00:08:23.520 seem to focus on the fact that the united states is actively and at great risk trying to put pressure
00:08:31.020 on china to treat their muslim minority better uh that feels like a counter narrative to everything
00:08:38.500 that people think about trump but why doesn't anybody really talk about that it's just so obviously
00:08:44.440 opposed to everything that people say about trump what do people say about trump he'll get a
00:08:51.380 he wants a chinese deal for his own personal political reasons no matter what right so that's
00:08:58.720 what they say and they also say he's a big old racist who hates muslims but what we're watching in
00:09:06.200 the news literally today the news is that he's screwing the chinese elites and putting pressure on
00:09:13.900 them because they're abusing their muslim minority it's exactly opposite of everything that the left
00:09:20.300 thinks about them but you don't see it reported that way it's just sort of reported factually
00:09:24.800 you don't see it reported in terms of it being counter to the narrative which is the way i would
00:09:31.200 expect it to be reported so if you missed the kanye or shall we call him yay uh drama last night
00:09:43.220 i tell you these social media tools are amazing because kanye was having some personal problems
00:09:51.740 literally with his his family and he was tweeting it in real time and he was he was sending like a tweet
00:09:59.600 a minute there for a while and you'd see it you know five minutes ago four minutes ago three minutes
00:10:04.340 ago and a fresh one would come in so as it was happening the tweets were appearing and it was
00:10:10.860 just sort of amazing that you could look into his life through his eyes as it was happening and i guess
00:10:19.600 what the problem was is that uh allegedly uh kim kardashian was upset about something he said about the
00:10:29.240 children or his behavior in general it's not clear and may or may not have this is the accusation
00:10:36.960 and have tried to bring a doctor out to wyoming to uh bring kanye i don't know to get him away from
00:10:46.040 this or whatever and uh it is just so fascinating to watch now can kanye become president i would say no
00:10:59.120 after yesterday it looks like a big no um i wouldn't have said that even two days ago actually
00:11:06.720 two days ago i would have said well it's a wild long shot but i wouldn't rule him out because look
00:11:13.080 at the other things he's done there were also long shots so if you're if you're uh ruling kanye out of
00:11:20.560 anything because it's a long shot you have to look at the context of his whole life long shots is what
00:11:28.980 he does sort of you know the thing he does consistently so i wouldn't have ruled him out
00:11:35.180 until this episode because i think this episode uh reveals that there's some turmoil
00:11:42.060 there would be you know certainly worth considering uh when you're trying to figure out
00:11:48.280 do you do you do you want a president who can keep the country calm or do you need or do you want a
00:11:55.400 president who needs the country to keep him calm so i feel like he took himself out of contention
00:12:02.360 yesterday with this however how many times have we been surprised how many times have we been
00:12:10.600 surprised that something we thought couldn't happen happened so i guess you could never uh
00:12:16.820 rule kanye out but he does have an album that's dropping and i don't think i've ever seen anybody
00:12:23.900 promote an album better than him he is the best album promoter of all time the fact that he's doing
00:12:31.740 this just when his album comes out yeah as somebody's reminding me in the car in the comments
00:12:37.580 that even in his tweets there there's a level of creativity because he said that uh you know he calls
00:12:45.600 himself yay yay y-e and so uh he said that uh kim tried to bring a calm yay c-a-l-m-y-e calm yay to
00:12:58.840 to to calm him down instead of a kanye so i thought that was pretty funny anyway so we watch
00:13:07.400 with interest and i think uh i think most of you would join me in wishing that kanye and his family
00:13:13.460 do well uh it looks like they've got some they've got some uh challenges there but i hope that works
00:13:20.260 out um so a week ago i was being ridiculed by the press ridiculed i say nothing new for me of course
00:13:31.380 being ridiculed by the press is sort of my daily situation but uh last week there the the stories
00:13:39.300 and the tweets sounded like this dilbert cartoonist ridiculously claims that republicans will be hunted
00:13:47.900 if biden is elected ridiculous what a nut job republicans being hunted come on scott
00:13:55.880 you dilbert cartoonist crazy guy a little bit of hyperbole don't you think kind of crazy
00:14:03.300 that was last week this week the new york times is trying to kill tucker carlson's family
00:14:09.940 so a lot can change in a week uh if you're not watching that story so as you know antifa found
00:14:20.520 tucker carlson's prior home just a year ago or whatever it was and they protested while his wife
00:14:27.460 was inside his family and scared them uh quite deeply to the point where they moved so tucker
00:14:35.360 carlson actually moved because they found out where his house is and now he is revealed and we have to
00:14:41.700 wait to see the details of this but he's probably right about this that the new york times is preparing
00:14:47.780 a story which will reveal where his new home is now what will happen to tucker carlson's family
00:14:56.320 if the new york times does as tucker alleges reveals where he lives now they might not do it with an
00:15:03.680 address they might do it in some somewhat indirect way that still gets you to the same place but
00:15:10.020 if this happens what would be the news value of of doxing tucker carlson and his family and may i
00:15:21.800 remind you that his family doesn't have anything to do with any of this they are not actively
00:15:28.080 participants in anything that anybody is mad at tucker carlson about
00:15:32.880 and you know you wonder where the line is right at what point does a line get crossed
00:15:42.420 and boy this seems like a line getting crossed wow does this seem like a line getting crossed
00:15:50.000 now we don't know yet if they'll cross it because i think the stakes are very high for the new york times
00:15:55.480 certainly for the new york times this could be an extinction event and by by that i mean you could
00:16:02.400 imagine the new york times going out of business right i mean things have changed amazingly quickly
00:16:09.520 in the last few months such that it's now easy to imagine almost anything happening in two weeks
00:16:16.480 because things are just changing so quickly so could the new york times actually be going out of
00:16:22.400 business i think if they dox tucker carlson uh that that would light a fuse which would make that very
00:16:30.780 likely um i don't want to i don't want to suggest what kinds of things might come out of this
00:16:40.140 but let's just say that if tucker carlson's family is targeted by the new york times that will change
00:16:48.940 everything that's not that's not games anymore that would change everything and again i don't want to put
00:16:57.420 into words anything that sounds threatening but i don't need to right i kind of don't need to
00:17:05.580 half of the country would have exactly the same opinion should this happen so i think it's good that
00:17:12.620 the right has uh put down a marker uh i will simply uh read to you what rasmussen quoted so rasmussen of
00:17:23.420 rasmussen polls their their twitter account tweeted this to that story in raw national reach and
00:17:31.980 ability to deliver impressions fox news could if they chose to retaliate talking about the new york times
00:17:41.180 retaliate in an overwhelming fashion against every single new york times doctor including its publisher
00:17:48.060 and perhaps the time for that has arrived oh my god it's the new york times move next move
00:17:56.780 so rasmussen just put it out there i mean they just laid it out there that if this line is crossed you
00:18:06.940 should reasonably expect an aggressive response now what an aggressive response looks like and who is doing the
00:18:17.020 responding unknown unknown unknown but it would be a very aggressive response
00:18:25.340 um and again i i so want to describe what that might look like but i'm not going to because i don't
00:18:32.700 want to i don't want to be whipping up a frenzy when we haven't seen yet what the new york times is
00:18:39.020 actually going to do but if they actually dox tucker carlson's family
00:18:45.420 there will be an aggressive response but can we all agree on that would you all agree that there will
00:18:52.940 be an aggressive response it will not be words let me say that as clearly as possible the response will
00:19:01.980 not be limited to words i'm not saying that i'm doing anything personally so i'm not making any kind of a
00:19:07.500 threat personally i'm just predicting that this is a line and if they cross this line they have to do
00:19:15.500 it knowingly do it with your eyes open it could be an extinction event for the new york times because
00:19:25.260 this is just a line you can't ignore this line it's not something that society can ignore
00:19:31.420 um is it fair to call the press the enemy of the people well look at this story look what they did
00:19:41.500 to scott alexander who was just minding his own business and they doxed him pretty much could have
00:19:48.700 ruined his career for no reason there was no you can actually hear my dog snoring yeah that's snickers
00:19:56.940 story uh anyway at the same time we see that the mccloskeys the pair who were guarding their expensive
00:20:06.780 home with their handgun and rifle uh apparently they've been charged a number of charges what so
00:20:16.220 they've actually been charged now i'm not a lawyer so i won't weigh in on whether the charges are
00:20:21.260 reasonable or likely to be successful if i had to guess i would say there's no chance that they'll be
00:20:26.540 successful and if they were successful uh i would if i were the mccloskeys i would want to hurry up
00:20:32.780 this trial to get some kind of a presidential pardon uh working because if there were if anybody was ever
00:20:40.940 going to get a presidential pardon it's the mccloskeys all right honestly if the mccloskeys got
00:20:49.260 prosecuted and trump did not pardon them and by the way is can he pardon them is that federal
00:20:56.300 charges or or is it state if it's state he can't do it right so actually i guess i'd have to look into
00:21:04.380 that um did you hear the story about there was a judge who was uh assigned to this epstein related
00:21:16.060 deutsch bank case so she was just assigned to the case and then some guy dressed as a fedex deliverer
00:21:24.540 comes to their house and shoots her husband and son the husband will survive the son did not she was
00:21:31.500 downstairs so she didn't get shot now uh of course you might ask yourself what are the odds that someone
00:21:39.820 who was just assigned a case epstein related would get shot and then the guy who did the shooting is
00:21:48.060 also dead i think is suicide um so when you first read that you say well here we go again
00:21:55.980 you know gillian maxwell is going to be killed in jail and and all that um however once you find out
00:22:03.820 more about the shooter it turns out that he just had a history of uh anti-women problems and he had a
00:22:11.980 problem with this judge it sounds like and so it probably had nothing to do with epstein just a
00:22:17.340 coincidence that's what it looks like so the president um apparently taking a cue from
00:22:27.100 pundits etc decided to photograph himself and tweet a photograph of himself wearing his mask
00:22:33.260 uh and he said this we are united in our effort to defeat the invisible china virus and many people
00:22:40.700 say that it is patriotic many people say that it's patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't
00:22:47.100 socially distance there is nobody more patriotic than me your favorite president and then there's
00:22:53.580 a picture of him with his face mask and i'll say it again he looks good in a face mask yeah you i don't
00:22:59.900 think you can say that about everybody but the president actually looks good in a face mask it
00:23:06.540 matches his suit it just uh if he was worried about it looking silly i think that that would be um
00:23:17.660 that would be a worry that you shouldn't worry about because it doesn't look silly at all it looks
00:23:21.340 it looks it looks good it actually looks good there's no other word for it um
00:23:28.620 um so how much is the president just uh responding to public public opinion because there was a lot of
00:23:38.940 public opinion that he should be more more assertive in recommending face masks i don't think this was
00:23:45.420 much of a step in that direction but it's at least making clear that he's pro face mask so that clarity
00:23:54.140 may be useful and at least now uh nobody can say hey mr president if you had not if you had not
00:24:02.700 acted the way you were then maybe your followers and your supporters would be more likely to wear
00:24:07.580 masks i think this might go a long way to taking that away but uh or at least the complaint away i don't
00:24:15.180 know if it'll go a long way to making people wear masks but it could be politically smart
00:24:19.820 um apparently trump is considering holding coronavirus updates a few times a week but
00:24:28.220 without the coronavirus task force now i don't know if that's real news or fake news doesn't that
00:24:36.700 sound like fake news that the president's going to hold coronavirus updates but the task force members
00:24:42.860 won't be invited that doesn't even sound real because what would be if you wanted um
00:24:52.140 it if you i'm reading your tweet and i'm smiling at your at your comment you know who you are um
00:25:03.420 if uh if you are going to advise president trump to lose the election what would that look like
00:25:12.300 let's say you were really a mole and you were advising the president but you were secretly
00:25:18.060 advising him in a way that he would lose the election so you're not really trying to help
00:25:22.460 you're trying to trick him into doing something that's bad for him what would that look like
00:25:27.980 well if it were me and i wanted the president to lose the election i would ask him to hold coronavirus
00:25:34.460 updates a few times a few times a week and don't invite the experts
00:25:40.620 i can't see i can't see any possibility that this could go well for him so i don't know what's going
00:25:47.900 on i think he may be responding to the fact that he's being criticized for not having leadership
00:25:55.020 around the coronavirus now if he were really disciplined
00:26:01.740 he could pull this off but does he think that he is that disciplined does president trump believe
00:26:10.220 of himself that he could be so disciplined that he would not just opine about medical things and
00:26:19.100 maybe make some over claims about the virus uh wearing itself out etc would he be disciplined
00:26:27.980 enough to do that does he think that of himself we don't know but i gotta tell you there's nothing
00:26:36.700 about this that looks right like it's a good idea but on the other hand he almost has to get out there
00:26:43.340 because if it if he's just sort of silent and and hanging back while the country is falling apart
00:26:49.260 with coronavirus that will not look like leadership so he has to do something but it looks like he's been
00:26:56.540 tricked into doing the very worst thing which is him riffing about coronavirus without his experts
00:27:03.980 if i were to put in a suggestion maybe kaylee mckinany
00:27:08.620 if you wanted to do uh additional uh additional let's say leadership stuff around coronavirus
00:27:20.300 it might be tempting to say kaylee mckinany will do those because she is disciplined if you want to
00:27:28.940 pick somebody who's not going to you know leave message and who's going to make a dent and who's going to
00:27:35.340 get the headlines that you want to get it would be her so she's the strongest communicator on the
00:27:42.940 on the team but but of course the president needs to show leadership himself so what's that look like
00:27:49.900 because it doesn't make sense for kaylee and the president to be at the same event because she is his
00:27:55.500 you know his uh replacement substitute if you will when he's not talking
00:27:59.340 so i don't know how they're going to pull this off i think it can be done i think it's just
00:28:06.700 really dangerous but it can be done and maybe it needs to be it might be that it's just absolutely
00:28:13.180 necessary now if i were to advise the president which uh i guess you could say everybody in social
00:28:22.300 media is advising the president because he does watch it the president does and his staff they do
00:28:29.900 monitor social media which they should right to find out what messages work and what messages don't
00:28:36.540 work so and get the mood of the room so of course they're watching so in in the sense that all of us
00:28:42.860 are advising the president let me let me do mine i would say that if he were if he stuck to
00:28:51.420 a very limited palette of messages he could do a good job so in other words if he came out and said
00:28:59.740 what he said in the tweet look i know you guys have a difference opinion difference of opinion about masks
00:29:06.700 but i think it is patriotic to at least consider your fellow humans consider the whole and i would
00:29:16.140 ask you to consider it a patriotic thing to wear the mask when you can't social distance now should he
00:29:22.700 say that i think he could get away with that but again it would have to be clean and and stick to just
00:29:28.140 the stuff we know if he wanders into the science of masks big mistake if he wanders into the science of
00:29:38.460 the therapies big mistake
00:29:44.220 but i think it would also be very useful for him to present the argument that the economy is life and
00:29:52.140 death and death and he hasn't made that case as well as he could and if he reinforced that week
00:29:58.620 after week between now and election day while we're trying to open up but we know there will
00:30:03.420 be deaths there's no there's no way around it there will be deaths if he made his case for the economy
00:30:10.620 equals life and death that's worth making because i don't think that's been made strongly enough
00:30:17.020 so there are some opportunities he could make this work but man it's a risky proposition but when when
00:30:23.260 was the last time he when was the last time trump ran away from a risky proposition in terms of him
00:30:29.660 appearing somewhere i don't know i don't think he does and he probably at this point he has to do this
00:30:36.380 did you hear that the major league baseball is going to have an app that lets the fans who are at home
00:30:49.100 cheer into their phone or their mobile device and the amount of cheering that they're doing at home
00:30:55.980 will be translated into some kind of software at the event the live baseball game and then the the
00:31:03.260 speakers at the live baseball game will i believe what they will do is they'll reproduce um artificial
00:31:10.620 cheering but it will be gauged to match what is actually happening at home so you won't hear the
00:31:16.780 voices of the people at home you know if you're the player you're not going to hear any individual
00:31:21.740 voices at home you can hear cheering but it will be gauged to be the same level and timing as the people
00:31:28.540 cheering at home it's pretty good it's pretty good now you remember at the very beginning of the
00:31:35.260 uh of the shutdown that that was exactly what i suggested although i think they improved it because
00:31:42.780 what i suggested is that you actually hear the people at home you just sum it up into one thing
00:31:49.580 but i think the way they're doing it probably makes more sense you know just technically and it'll end
00:31:55.180 up about the same so good good for them um and look how quickly this happened in just a few months
00:32:03.580 an app was built the entire idea of outdoor outdoor entertainment at a big event have changed i mean this
00:32:13.420 is pretty impressive timing if they get that to work um let's see you know have you seen any photos of
00:32:22.460 downtown portland you know the the media is at least the mainstream media is largely blocking out
00:32:28.700 the stories of this because all trump would have to do to get elected is just show portland like you
00:32:36.060 could just stop everything you know the president could say you know what you know normally i'm not
00:32:41.820 recommending this but just to make a point the the president could say you know normally i talk about
00:32:47.740 lots of different things you know the economy and dealing with china and everything but this election
00:32:53.180 is much simpler it's me versus portland portland is what you get if you elect biden that's what you
00:33:02.620 get and then show lots of pictures of portland being basically closed down and and full of graffiti
00:33:09.580 and say that's that's your choice and you don't even have to talk about anything else you don't have
00:33:15.340 to talk about taxes i mean you could just say look at these pictures this is what you're voting for
00:33:22.060 you are guaranteed to get this and a lot more of it i'll promise you that i'll work against this
00:33:30.140 that'd probably be enough um
00:33:35.020 let's see before i get myself cancelled because i've got a cancellation topic coming up here
00:33:40.460 uh i get closer and closer to the rim all right um there's a uh article by the or at least a tweet
00:33:50.540 by the mayo clinic health systems now it's the mayo clinic so there are some trusted medical um experts
00:33:58.780 right so this is from the mayo clinic and they say that the n95 uh masks are not as safe as you might
00:34:06.620 think because the air is filtered as it's coming into the mask that's what they do they filter the air
00:34:12.620 coming in but the person who's wearing the mask when they exhale there's a valve built into it
00:34:19.020 that just lets the exhaling out the valve so mayo clinic is reminding people that that's the case or
00:34:25.980 telling them and saying that that is unfiltered air coming out of the mouth so if that person who's wearing
00:34:32.780 the mask is infected their unfiltered breath is going through the valve and therefore not as safe
00:34:39.100 as you think so that's pretty good information right aren't you glad that they gave you that
00:34:44.300 information because you feel smarter now safer far more informed now you really understand what to do
00:34:51.340 about the masks no no it's the mayo i don't want to swear but i think i'll try to hold off it's the mayo
00:35:06.060 clinic so here's what they should have said yes it's true that the n95 masks are primarily for health
00:35:14.300 care professionals and primarily to filter things that are coming into the health care professional
00:35:19.420 that part we all agree on let's talk about the exhaling the exhaling we also agree there's a
00:35:26.540 valve involved so when you're inhaling the valve is closed but when you exhale it opens and lets the
00:35:32.780 unfiltered air out of the mask but here's the question that the mayo the mayo clinic doesn't answer
00:35:42.620 it's the one that matters so the question that matters the most by far there's one big
00:35:49.340 question that matters and they don't mention it they don't mention it and here's what matters
00:35:56.780 that unfiltered air that goes through that little valve where does it go because i've looked at the
00:36:03.740 valve and to me it looks like there's a valve and then there's a barrier and then the air would come
00:36:09.820 out from around the barrier so in other words it doesn't go straight out the valve and shoot at the
00:36:15.500 the person you're talking to it goes to the left and the right and up and down isn't that exactly why
00:36:22.300 you're wearing a non n95 mask you're not trying to filter out all of the virus because stuff's coming
00:36:30.460 out the side if it's a regular mask right you're trying to just keep it local the whole point of the
00:36:37.980 person who may or may not have coronavirus and not know about it is to keep that person and their
00:36:44.380 viruses local to them and not project it as far as it might project so the n95 would probably do that
00:36:52.540 if it doesn't do that because this is some kind of a miracle valve which projects things out even
00:36:58.860 though there's a barrier there a plastic barrier which should project it i think i think it projects
00:37:04.540 it down but i'm not positive about that so leaving out where does the air go and is it important if
00:37:12.220 it stays near the person who exhaled it is just criminally criminally bad information i mean this
00:37:21.420 is just so bad that this is actually in the news and why does a cartoonist have to explain that to you
00:37:29.180 because and by the way nobody's disagreeing with what i said right i don't believe there's anybody
00:37:35.020 disagreeing that that little valve does change the direction of the of the exhaled air and if it
00:37:44.060 doesn't change it in a positive way well they should tell us that they should tell us that if it does change
00:37:49.980 it by keeping it closer to your body they should tell us that why because it's the most important
00:37:56.060 question left out of the whole story boy it's hard not to swear when i say stuff like this
00:38:02.620 it's just hard all right meanwhile over at let's get me let's get me canceled i don't think i've done
00:38:08.940 enough to cancel myself yet so let's let's see if i can get that done so over at fox news they've got
00:38:16.540 some drama there are two separate women who are accusing four at least four male uh celebrities
00:38:24.860 uh over at fox news uh over at fox news now you have to separate the two accusers because they're
00:38:32.940 they're very different situations uh one of the accusers has accused i think four different people
00:38:41.820 including ed henry hannity tucker carlson and howard kurtz now if you look at the nature of the
00:38:52.780 accusations you'll say to yourself well i guess all women have to be trusted all women have to be
00:39:01.100 believed except that you look at the accusations and they just don't look believable
00:39:10.860 um i do believe and it sounds completely believable that if you create a situation with rich male alpha
00:39:21.420 good-looking guys and then you populate it with attractive younger women who dress in a certain
00:39:29.180 way with tight skirts and heels you are guaranteed problems so if you know independent of these accusations
00:39:40.220 which actually sound pretty pretty thin pretty pretty thin uh well let me just come around and say i i doubt
00:39:48.540 them we don't know but the accusations from one of the women look completely not credible the one who
00:39:57.740 accused all four of them of bad behavior so i don't know where that will go but fox news looked into it and
00:40:04.460 said no there's nothing here and apparently they looked into it pretty hard and found nothing there but
00:40:11.660 people are people and you you have to assume that there's a little bit of flirtatiousness that you
00:40:17.900 can't get out of the system i mean you maybe you'd like it to get out of the system but if you create
00:40:23.340 a situation with that many young good-looking healthy people it's pretty hard to get rid of all the bad
00:40:31.340 behavior then there's the other one so the other one has accused i believe only ed henry of rape
00:40:40.540 but when you read the accusation
00:40:42.940 it really doesn't sound that way now i get it i get it believe all women you have to treat all
00:40:52.700 these things seriously and and so we shall so we'll treat it seriously because asked to be treated
00:40:59.500 seriously but i can tell you my opinion right because there will be a jury involved and you know
00:41:07.020 presumably there'll be some you know probable cause involved etc and if i were on the jury and i heard
00:41:14.940 this story the way it's been reported i would just shake my head and vote not guilty now of course
00:41:22.860 there'll be lots more evidence coming out but let me give you just one report from it so there are at
00:41:30.140 least two or three occasions where the accuser willingly went and had drinks with ed henry and
00:41:37.340 willingly went to his hotel room according to her those things she did um willingly now willingly of
00:41:46.780 course gets into what about the power difference you know is is there really any such thing as willing
00:41:53.180 when there's a power differential those those are good questions i won't deal with that right now
00:41:58.860 but um in one specific part of the allegations they say they went back to his room and that he
00:42:08.460 quote ripped her clothes off now when you hear that phrase ripped her clothes off what does that sound
00:42:18.860 like to you does it sound like it actually ripped in other words does she have a blouse that's sort of
00:42:26.700 ripped does she have any ripped clothes because if if your accusation could be described with normal words
00:42:37.980 such as you know we undressed or something like that um you have to ask yourself have they just put in uh
00:42:48.700 provocative words where if you had gotten rid of the provocative words it wouldn't sound like anything
00:42:54.700 yeah the way it's written um so i would say that neither of these accusations appear credible on the
00:43:04.780 surface with the exception of if the argument has to do with the power imbalance and the assumptions made
00:43:12.940 by the by the the young woman that i would say that's that's different than rape
00:43:19.180 very different now that would be a question that would be appropriate for your employer
00:43:26.140 if your employer felt that the power imbalance was creating this bad situation and that you have to fire
00:43:35.020 the person who's maybe taking advantage of the power imbalance that's an employer employee situation
00:43:40.140 i don't know that that's illegal is it where where where is the line at which you can say okay now
00:43:47.580 that's a crime i don't know where that line is actually if it's just if you're talking about the
00:43:53.180 internal thoughts of people and they're internally thinking that there's pressure but nobody's actually
00:43:59.340 said it and there's actually some attraction between the two people where's where do you draw that line
00:44:05.340 i don't know where that is i i have no idea yeah so the the question is whether consent is real in a
00:44:14.540 case where there's a power imbalance or is consent um always coercion just by the nature of the situation
00:44:23.420 well that's a different question but i would note that i don't believe ed henry's accuser is making that
00:44:30.460 kind of accusation uh there's some hint of it but it looks like the accusation is really about forceful
00:44:38.620 rape and i would say that the way the story is told suggests that's not the case
00:44:46.860 now if later somebody tries to cancel me by saying scott said it didn't happen he doesn't believe women
00:44:54.940 that didn't just happen right you did not witness me saying that uh that i know what happened because
00:45:03.180 i don't know what happened you don't know what happened i'm not even sure ed henry knows what happened
00:45:09.340 and i mean that don't you think that ed henry is sitting home thinking something like this
00:45:15.980 you know it didn't feel like that was happening when i was there
00:45:19.260 like i got i mean i was there there was no better witness than me i was in the room
00:45:25.980 every single time and it didn't feel like any of these things to me i feel like that's probably what's
00:45:32.940 happening i think he's probably saying so he says scott do you believe biden um i would say that the
00:45:41.420 biden accusation is similarly sketchy meaning that if you were to just look at it on its surface you'd
00:45:49.100 probably say that doesn't sound like something that happened so yes i would i would treat them
00:45:54.780 similarly now i will say that when tara reed uh appeared on interviews she looked completely
00:46:02.940 convincing meaning that you could have a situation where the accuser is completely credible and tara reed
00:46:10.380 is now we haven't seen these two accusers talk in public yet it's completely possible if not probable
00:46:19.260 that if you heard them you would say okay that sounds pretty credible maybe i don't know so
00:46:25.420 the tara reed situation is different because if you only heard the accusation you'd say that doesn't
00:46:31.660 sound real but if you hear her talking about it she does sound credible which doesn't mean it's true
00:46:39.260 it just means she sounds credible um whereas and similarly if you hear the story about uh the ed henry
00:46:49.500 accuser it doesn't really sound credible but maybe if you hear her tell it in person it would be i don't
00:46:56.860 know that's separate um did did do they come across like mary trump yeah mary trump did not come across
00:47:05.020 as credible and i believe the mary trump story is largely just going away does anybody remember mary
00:47:12.540 trump she sold about a million books in the first day so she did okay all right um
00:47:20.300 did eckhart believe she was providing a service for a promotion oh that's the accuser so yes did this
00:47:31.740 did the accuser think that she was doing something for a promotion no but she did um she did suggest
00:47:39.660 that being nice to somebody who had some you know uh some weight at the at the network could be good for
00:47:49.820 her career but that crosses into the territory of but wasn't she sort of using her attractiveness to
00:47:58.540 further her career and then you don't know because that would be an internal thought yeah nobody has
00:48:05.100 nobody knows what any of these people were thinking so if you're if you're convicting somebody based on
00:48:10.860 what you think they're thinking that's always that's always sketchy did the left dox me um not
00:48:22.380 i'm kind of hard to dox because how would you do that i don't know would i care if people came to my
00:48:29.740 home yeah i guess it's a different situation for me because um some homes are are better armed than
00:48:36.940 others and some people like attention more than other people do honestly this is no joke i i often
00:48:45.420 fantasize about an angry mob protesting my house and when i imagine it i'm never afraid i'm just sort of
00:48:53.900 excited thinking i got an angry mob in front of my house this is so cool i i don't know if i could be
00:49:01.420 doxed because an angry mob in front of my house would just sort of amuse me and i think i would just get
00:49:08.460 more twitter followers i would definitely live stream it so i guess it would be bad for me
00:49:17.020 allegedly i don't know now i don't want to be doxed but i also can't imagine uh it turning out bad
00:49:30.380 for me and that maybe that's a flaw with my personality is that i like attention more than i
00:49:35.660 worry about uh more than i worry about risk um and by the way if if they'd like to find out what would
00:49:45.740 happen i'd like to find out too let's find out together and by the way i know exactly what i would
00:49:53.980 do if an angry mob came to my house the first thing i do is walk directly into it so the first thing i
00:50:02.780 do is i would leave my house and i'd walk right into the middle of the of the mob now you should not
00:50:10.060 do that but i would do that and the and then once i walked into the middle of the mob and they would
00:50:17.740 be yelling at me and i don't know trying to push me around or whatever i would look at one of them
00:50:23.180 and say uh who's in charge and then i wouldn't yell i'd just say a quiet to whoever was near me pushing
00:50:31.820 me or whatever they're doing say which one of you guys is in charge who's in charge here can i talk to
00:50:36.860 whoever's in charge and watch what would happen to the group when you ask who's in charge
00:50:44.460 they wouldn't know how to handle it because nobody's in charge or or if somebody is in charge
00:50:49.740 you say can i could can i talk to you what's your issue and just talk it through so there's if the the
00:51:02.700 technique here by the way and again i do not recommend do not recommend that any of you do
00:51:08.460 what i just suggested probably better just to stay in your home that's what i would recommend uh call
00:51:14.780 authorities if you need to but uh i wouldn't do what i would do the reason it would work in my case
00:51:20.700 is that i know how to change people's frame so if the frame is they're protesting my house they will act
00:51:28.700 like they're protesting my house if you walk into the middle of their crowd and ask them who's in
00:51:34.220 charge what is that what is it it's not really a protest anymore because the guy you're protesting
00:51:42.220 just walked into the middle of your crowd and asked if he could talk to you it kind of ruins it
00:51:48.140 like all the fun is gone and then when they start talking to me they'd find out i'm not nearly as crazy
00:51:53.820 as they thought maybe i don't even disagree with them on a lot of stuff and it would just sort of
00:51:59.420 ruin the fun so don't do that but there are some few people who would be sufficiently trained to do
00:52:07.980 that let me i'll give you one other good example mike cernovich could do that mike sir i don't again i
00:52:14.860 don't recommend it because you know anything could be dangerous but if you actually knew how to handle that
00:52:21.100 situation you could actually just walk into it and diffuse it but there aren't too many people who
00:52:26.220 would have those skills um so i gotta i gotta admit i would be a little bit excited by it
00:52:38.380 and again that's probably a personality flaw it's nothing i can be proud of
00:52:43.500 uh somebody says someone will sucker punch you they might they might that would be the risk wouldn't
00:52:50.220 but you know if somebody did sucker punch me uh i would chase them to the end of the earth
00:53:03.740 that's that's one difference between me and other people is that i would definitely find out who it was
00:53:10.220 and i would chase them to the end of the earth it would be my life's mission to make that right
00:53:16.700 uh anyway that's it for me i'll talk to you later
