Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1070 Scott Adams： Protests, Fake News Determining Elections, Sandmann Puts Fake News to Sleep

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in. It's time for another exciting and amazing episode of Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:16.940 Yep, it's just about the best thing you've ever seen in your life. What is happening?

00:00:22.520 My security camera's going off. There's a mouse outside. I literally picked up a mouse on my security camera.

00:00:29.100 That's good security. So, but enough about me. What about you? How are you? Doing great? Yeah? Good.

00:00:41.560 Because it's a great day today and it's just going to get better. And one of the things that will make it better is a simultaneous sip.

00:00:47.900 But I hope you'll join me now. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stye and a canteen jug or flask.

00:00:54.940 A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:00.700 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day.

00:01:03.800 The thing that makes everything better, including pandemics, economics, you name it. Go.

00:01:13.200 Ah. Oh. Let's talk about all the things happening today.

00:01:19.620 Okay. So yesterday, Trump signed four, are they, executive orders, I guess?

00:01:30.040 And they're all designed to lower pharmaceutical costs in this country.

00:01:35.060 Now, there are a few interesting things about this, aside from the fact that wouldn't it be good to have lower pharmaceutical costs?

00:01:45.640 Number one interesting thing, why wasn't this done before?

00:01:50.800 Even the president says it should have been done long ago.

00:01:54.740 Well, he's been president for three years.

00:01:57.040 So long ago, also includes the current presidency.

00:02:03.180 And so the question is, why wasn't it done before?

00:02:06.320 Now, let me, I don't know the details of the executive orders,

00:02:10.140 but one of them is to have most favored nation status,

00:02:14.900 which is fairly common in contracts.

00:02:18.760 Common enough that, you know, people know it exists.

00:02:21.300 And the idea is that we can't be charged more in this country than some other country.

00:02:28.420 So we don't want to be the ones who are subsidizing other countries by paying high costs

00:02:33.660 so that some other country could have low costs.

00:02:36.640 That's pretty basic contract stuff.

00:02:40.740 But the government had not been involved.

00:02:43.340 Rather, these were, you know, private companies doing private things.

00:02:46.640 So why is it that now the president can make this kind of a change,

00:02:53.000 which seems to comply to all common sense?

00:02:57.720 And on the surface, it looks like just a smart thing to do.

00:03:01.400 Why did it take so long?

00:03:03.480 Same with buying from Canada.

00:03:05.700 Apparently, we'll have the option now of getting some meds from Canada

00:03:09.420 where the prices are lower,

00:03:11.340 which is similar to the most favored nations thing.

00:03:14.360 And then a few other things that do the same thing.

00:03:17.700 And here's what I think it is.

00:03:19.340 But I need to see some reporting on this by smarter people.

00:03:23.060 Yeah, you're saying in the comments where I was going.

00:03:26.740 Could you tell I was teasing for the answer?

00:03:30.380 Because I think the answer is that the Supreme Court

00:03:34.080 has upheld enough executive orders from the past.

00:03:39.560 And I think it was with DACA, maybe Obamacare.

00:03:43.780 So that's the part I'm working on.

00:03:45.600 So somebody can fill me in on the Supreme Court part of it.

00:03:48.760 But I think what's happened is

00:03:50.360 that Trump has discovered he has more power as a president

00:03:54.880 than anybody would have imagined,

00:03:57.940 meaning that the Supreme Court has now set a standard

00:04:01.540 that says that Trump can do this now.

00:04:03.640 Because he's doing this that's about the same size of this-ness 0.65

00:04:10.320 of other things that the Supreme Court has allowed.

00:04:14.340 And so it gave him room to operate that didn't exist before.

00:04:17.860 So here's the fun part.

00:04:20.620 The Supreme Court, by voting against the president's wishes a few times,

00:04:26.440 has turned him into the dictator that nobody wanted.

00:04:29.560 But as long as he's a benevolent dictator, it's going to be okay.

00:04:37.380 And the same with Obama, right?

00:04:39.460 Obama did some big executive orders.

00:04:42.240 But as long as society looked at them and said,

00:04:45.100 yeah, well, your intention was good,

00:04:47.520 and a lot of people do like it,

00:04:50.100 not everybody agrees,

00:04:51.740 but it's not like the worst thing in the world.

00:04:54.080 The Supreme Court can let that stand.

00:04:55.740 And so you can never underestimate,

00:05:02.540 no, you can never overestimate.

00:05:04.100 I always say it wrong.

00:05:04.980 I tweeted that wrong this morning.

00:05:09.240 There's a big impact of the,

00:05:12.020 what do you call it,

00:05:14.080 the accidental consequences of anything.

00:05:17.060 And the accidental consequences

00:05:19.020 of the president losing a few Supreme Court battles

00:05:22.780 is that he can lower our health care costs.

00:05:25.740 Yeah, you can never underestimate.

00:05:29.120 Thank you.

00:05:30.280 That's what I should say.

00:05:32.420 So the accidental consequences,

00:05:35.300 the unintended consequences,

00:05:37.100 were to give the president more power,

00:05:39.480 and then he took his power,

00:05:40.900 and he solved one of society's biggest problems with it.

00:05:44.480 Thank you for unintended, yes.

00:05:46.520 Now, who saw that coming?

00:05:49.980 Who on their prediction card said,

00:05:52.980 President will lose important Supreme Court cases,

00:05:57.480 and that will allow him to lower our drug costs?

00:06:02.160 What?

00:06:03.320 And you're going to see a lot of exciting things,

00:06:05.660 I think,

00:06:06.260 happening as we get closer to Election Day,

00:06:09.640 because the president has this one gigantic advantage,

00:06:14.100 and it's enormous,

00:06:16.520 which is the president can do things,

00:06:19.340 whereas Joe Biden can't do things.

00:06:22.280 So the president doesn't have to just talk about lowering drug costs.

00:06:27.660 He can just do it,

00:06:29.200 and apparently he's well on his way to doing it.

00:06:31.580 We'll see if this stuff holds,

00:06:33.660 but I'll bet it will.

00:06:35.980 You all had a good laugh,

00:06:38.000 or I think celebrated silently,

00:06:40.500 when Covington kid Nick Sandman won his suit.

00:06:45.800 Well, he got a settlement,

00:06:48.040 which is different from winning,

00:06:49.860 although it's a kind of winning.

00:06:51.880 And so this is his second win in a row.

00:06:54.620 He won,

00:06:55.140 he got a settlement,

00:06:55.980 I guess,

00:06:56.300 from CNN,

00:06:57.300 and he got a settlement of unnamed amount from Washington Post,

00:07:01.540 and he's got a few more outlets to sue.

00:07:04.440 And the basic idea here is that the news,

00:07:08.940 the fake news painted him as the bad guy,

00:07:11.620 when in fact he was just standing there.

00:07:13.740 And he was sort of the one that was approached,

00:07:17.760 not the one who was causing trouble.

00:07:19.840 So his reputation got destroyed by this sufficiently

00:07:24.260 that a court,

00:07:27.680 or at least it looked like it was something he could win,

00:07:32.620 sufficiently that the other side decided to sell.

00:07:36.320 So that's how bad it was.

00:07:38.140 So this raises an interesting question,

00:07:40.780 and it goes like this.

00:07:41.960 Could somebody who had lost their job

00:07:46.320 or had been attacked,

00:07:48.460 let's say physically attacked,

00:07:50.180 and I guess there were a few of them even last night

00:07:52.060 at the protest,

00:07:54.140 if people who are Trump supporters

00:07:56.560 are physically attacked or fired

00:07:58.560 for being Trump supporters,

00:08:00.920 here's the question I ask the legal experts.

00:08:03.740 Could those people sue the fake news

00:08:07.340 for the fine people hoax

00:08:11.180 and for the Covington kid hoax

00:08:14.940 and the Russia collusion hoax?

00:08:17.100 In other words,

00:08:18.340 could you say the reason I lost my job

00:08:20.680 for being a Trump supporter

00:08:22.060 is because the fake news

00:08:24.240 has run enough hoaxes

00:08:26.440 that I'm demonized just for being a supporter

00:08:29.160 and I lost my job?

00:08:30.760 Could they make the case

00:08:32.720 that the media,

00:08:34.480 by knowingly running hoaxes,

00:08:36.280 and of course the fine people hoax

00:08:38.480 is the classic one,

00:08:39.800 where you know they know the real answer

00:08:41.580 because it's in the transcript.

00:08:43.420 It's not really an interpretation problem.

00:08:45.940 It's right there.

00:08:47.060 You just read it.

00:08:48.480 So could you win a case

00:08:50.480 against the same fake news companies

00:08:54.480 if you had been abused in any way

00:08:57.660 for being a Trump supporter?

00:08:59.180 Because I think it's a pretty solid line

00:09:03.460 from there.

00:09:06.080 Speaking of which,

00:09:08.220 Rasmussen,

00:09:09.340 who does polling,

00:09:11.440 which you rarely will hear mentioned

00:09:13.080 on the news,

00:09:14.440 apparently Rasmussen is banned

00:09:16.380 from being mentioned on the news.

00:09:19.340 Did you know that?

00:09:20.560 And I think it's banned

00:09:21.460 on both the left and the right.

00:09:24.480 Now they claim,

00:09:26.020 and I think there's evidence to support it,

00:09:28.140 to be the most accurate polling company

00:09:30.440 in the country for political stuff.

00:09:33.220 Now is that true?

00:09:36.040 Is that true?

00:09:36.900 I think so.

00:09:37.960 I think they're the most accurate

00:09:39.440 and they can't be mentioned.

00:09:41.080 So there must be a counter-argument to that,

00:09:44.060 but I don't know what it is.

00:09:44.920 But one of the things

00:09:45.540 that Rasmussen tweeted this morning

00:09:49.260 is that if you look at

00:09:50.920 what people believed

00:09:52.040 during the 2018 midterm elections,

00:09:55.360 you'd find that 30%,

00:09:57.460 just before the vote

00:09:59.640 for the midterms in 2018,

00:10:01.940 30% of the country

00:10:03.340 believed the Russia collusion hoax.

00:10:07.300 30% of the country believed it.

00:10:09.800 And that includes Republicans.

00:10:11.700 Now, if 30% of your country

00:10:15.220 believed the fake news

00:10:17.380 that Russia was controlling the president,

00:10:21.580 what would you expect the midterm to look like?

00:10:25.440 You'd expect it to look like it did.

00:10:28.040 People would vote in Democrats

00:10:29.460 because they think the president

00:10:30.660 is owned by Russia.

00:10:32.580 Now think about how much

00:10:33.960 that changed the world

00:10:35.700 because it probably flipped the house. 0.94

00:10:40.440 And I haven't even added the second part.

00:10:43.320 If the only thing that happened

00:10:44.720 was the Russia collusion hoax,

00:10:47.280 which you had to know

00:10:48.520 that the media pushing it

00:10:50.420 had some suspicion it wasn't true

00:10:52.200 or knew it wasn't true,

00:10:53.680 but they pushed it anyway.

00:10:56.060 What about the fine people hoax?

00:10:58.540 I would say that the fine people hoax

00:11:00.600 was believed by maybe 70% of the country

00:11:03.100 when it first came out.

00:11:04.640 Wouldn't you say?

00:11:05.700 I would guess that 70% of the country,

00:11:08.660 because that includes a lot of Republicans,

00:11:11.060 believed the fine people hoax.

00:11:13.820 Now that's changed quite a bit.

00:11:16.280 I tweeted this morning

00:11:17.280 because I periodically tweet

00:11:20.540 that it's a hoax.

00:11:22.080 And a PhD doctor type guy

00:11:25.100 who wrote an anti-Trump book

00:11:27.540 weighed in to say

00:11:29.100 it's not a hoax,

00:11:30.840 Darth Dilbert.

00:11:32.560 See, that's the funny part

00:11:33.740 because my critics called me Dilbert,

00:11:37.200 but he called me Darth Dilbert,

00:11:39.080 so that's like really, really funny.

00:11:41.300 Very clever.

00:11:43.080 And he was not aware,

00:11:46.600 according to his tweet,

00:11:47.880 that it was a hoax.

00:11:49.280 And I thought to myself,

00:11:50.700 how could you be an educated person

00:11:54.240 in the United States

00:11:55.280 and think that the fine people hoax

00:11:57.120 was real?

00:11:58.560 Now, in 2020,

00:12:00.380 I totally get why people believed it in 2018,

00:12:03.620 because it was fresh

00:12:05.640 and it was being misreported.

00:12:07.700 But after two years of unraveling this thing,

00:12:10.820 you'd think most people would know

00:12:12.420 it's a hoax by now.

00:12:13.460 But think of those two hoaxes,

00:12:16.720 the Russia collusion hoax,

00:12:18.620 and then I would call it

00:12:19.880 the tentpole race hoax.

00:12:23.000 Because everything else about Trump

00:12:24.860 would seem different

00:12:27.320 if you took away that one thing

00:12:30.220 that they think they got

00:12:31.200 the smoking gun on, right?

00:12:33.800 Because everything else is sort of a,

00:12:35.680 well, 30 years ago,

00:12:37.980 there was that full-page ad

00:12:40.640 about the Central Park Five,

00:12:43.280 so what about that?

00:12:45.100 Well, if you were looking at it

00:12:46.380 in isolation,

00:12:47.900 and you had not heard

00:12:49.020 the fine people hoax,

00:12:50.700 and you were just looking at it

00:12:51.700 on its own,

00:12:52.280 you'd say,

00:12:53.300 well, he wrote an ad

00:12:54.160 that says nothing about race.

00:12:56.200 There's nothing in there about race.

00:12:57.880 It was about crime.

00:13:00.040 The people accused

00:13:00.880 happened to be black,

00:13:01.860 but it wasn't any part

00:13:02.780 of Trump's point.

00:13:04.540 So if you saw that in isolation,

00:13:06.900 you'd say,

00:13:07.660 yeah, I can see why people

00:13:08.940 are saying it feels racist.

00:13:10.640 But there's nothing there.

00:13:12.640 I mean, there's nothing

00:13:13.260 in what he did

00:13:14.040 that even indirectly implies race.

00:13:19.220 So if you take away

00:13:20.380 the Charlottesville fine people hoax,

00:13:23.480 which is the one

00:13:24.440 that people said,

00:13:25.160 ah, finally,

00:13:26.320 now we don't have to

00:13:27.640 read his mind anymore.

00:13:29.400 We don't have to think

00:13:30.780 he was thinking something wrong,

00:13:32.780 even though he didn't do things wrong.

00:13:34.900 We know he was thinking bad things.

00:13:37.420 Now we have the actual proof.

00:13:41.380 So once you have the proof,

00:13:43.080 it proves all the other things.

00:13:45.260 It's like, aha, aha.

00:13:47.080 Now that we've heard this,

00:13:48.500 we know all of his secret thoughts

00:13:50.760 are confirmed.

00:13:52.420 So I would say that

00:13:54.580 those two hoaxes

00:13:55.720 actually completely determined

00:13:57.240 the midterm result.

00:13:59.080 And that means

00:14:01.760 that the fake news

00:14:02.760 literally is running

00:14:04.300 the country at this point.

00:14:06.080 If you're worried

00:14:07.300 about foreign interference,

00:14:10.740 you should rethink that

00:14:12.560 on a statistical basis.

00:14:16.800 Because what we have now,

00:14:18.460 it looks like,

00:14:20.040 you probably have a Russia 0.58

00:14:21.660 which wouldn't mind

00:14:22.700 having Trump again,

00:14:24.400 I think,

00:14:25.080 I'm not sure,

00:14:25.760 but it feels like it.

00:14:27.460 And then you've got a China 1.00

00:14:28.900 that absolutely doesn't want Trump

00:14:31.780 because Biden is China friendly.

00:14:34.780 So it looks like

00:14:36.800 it's a contest

00:14:37.680 between China

00:14:38.920 and maybe Russia intelligence

00:14:41.840 to try to thwart

00:14:44.220 the fake news

00:14:45.880 in this country

00:14:46.900 which will otherwise

00:14:48.140 determine the election.

00:14:50.400 So we have foreign 0.86

00:14:51.360 this is literally true.

00:14:53.940 we have foreign interference 0.69

00:14:56.420 in our fake news

00:14:58.740 which will cause

00:15:00.100 the fake news

00:15:01.000 to less reliably

00:15:02.420 throw the election

00:15:05.060 and make it illegitimate.

00:15:07.860 Now I'm not coming out

00:15:09.660 in favor of foreign interference.

00:15:12.120 I'm simply pointing out

00:15:13.660 the irony

00:15:14.340 that it might be

00:15:15.500 the only thing

00:15:16.120 that could save us.

00:15:19.380 Again,

00:15:20.180 not in favor of it.

00:15:22.140 I'm not making

00:15:22.880 I'm not making

00:15:23.540 a pro-Russia statement.

00:15:25.300 I'm just saying

00:15:26.340 that if the fake news

00:15:28.560 was going to do

00:15:29.580 another 2018 job

00:15:31.680 on the country

00:15:32.360 and just completely

00:15:33.820 rig the election

00:15:34.740 by fake information,

00:15:37.040 what if Russia 0.62

00:15:38.100 successfully interfered

00:15:40.360 with our election

00:15:41.220 in a way that

00:15:42.760 thwarted

00:15:43.820 the fake news?

00:15:45.960 Would that be bad?

00:15:48.140 In theory,

00:15:49.160 it would be bad.

00:15:49.980 But hypothetically,

00:15:52.560 it would be terrible

00:15:54.400 to have foreign interference.

00:15:56.520 Except that our

00:15:58.000 domestic interference

00:15:59.700 is far worse.

00:16:02.780 Right?

00:16:04.440 So,

00:16:05.360 sort of

00:16:05.860 two wrongs

00:16:07.200 making a right situation.

00:16:09.020 Sometimes it works.

00:16:12.040 Senator

00:16:12.600 Tom Cotton

00:16:13.920 continues to make news.

00:16:16.240 He's good at making news.

00:16:17.340 And he wants

00:16:19.300 to ban

00:16:19.980 federal funding

00:16:21.120 from any school

00:16:22.100 that has included

00:16:23.500 what is called

00:16:25.620 the Race Baiting 0.99

00:16:26.560 1619 Project

00:16:28.160 in the curriculum.

00:16:29.900 Now,

00:16:30.140 the 1619 Project

00:16:31.600 1619

00:16:33.380 refers to the

00:16:34.480 first date of slavery,

00:16:36.960 I think.

00:16:37.980 The beginning of slavery.

00:16:39.220 And

00:16:41.100 the curriculum

00:16:43.340 would include

00:16:44.120 the fact that

00:16:45.000 the white race 0.92

00:16:46.640 is

00:16:47.100 quote,

00:16:48.020 barbaric devils

00:16:49.260 and

00:16:49.860 quote,

00:16:50.880 bloodsuckers. 1.00

00:16:52.200 So,

00:16:52.940 Tom Cotton

00:16:53.340 thinks that

00:16:54.040 schools should not

00:16:55.140 give federal funding

00:16:56.080 if they're teaching

00:16:57.620 that white people 0.52

00:16:58.420 are barbaric devils

00:16:59.980 and bloodsuckers. 1.00

00:17:01.600 And I'm thinking

00:17:02.440 to myself,

00:17:03.460 well,

00:17:03.660 that sounds pretty

00:17:04.280 reasonable,

00:17:04.860 Tom Cotton.

00:17:05.360 I have to say,

00:17:07.600 I haven't always

00:17:08.200 agreed with Tom Cotton.

00:17:10.180 He's got some

00:17:11.000 opinions that,

00:17:12.220 you know,

00:17:12.460 a little

00:17:12.740 outside my

00:17:16.020 range of happiness.

00:17:17.720 But not this one.

00:17:19.340 This one seems

00:17:20.200 right down the center.

00:17:21.700 Like,

00:17:21.900 this one doesn't even

00:17:22.740 look right-wing to me,

00:17:23.880 does it?

00:17:25.120 Like,

00:17:25.800 you could argue

00:17:26.800 that this is,

00:17:27.520 oh,

00:17:27.860 he's a right-wing guy.

00:17:29.320 But not this.

00:17:30.840 This is right down

00:17:31.560 the middle.

00:17:32.920 So,

00:17:33.240 will this get passed?

00:17:34.220 I doubt it.

00:17:35.360 But I'm glad

00:17:36.240 he's doing it.

00:17:39.760 Here's an interesting

00:17:40.840 story that I don't

00:17:42.140 know what to make

00:17:43.040 of it.

00:17:43.860 You know about

00:17:44.700 the book

00:17:47.240 and the movie

00:17:47.880 Plandemic,

00:17:48.840 right?

00:17:49.620 So you know

00:17:50.500 that there's

00:17:51.180 a doctor

00:17:52.860 who's suggesting

00:17:53.760 that,

00:17:54.400 I guess there's

00:17:56.320 going to be

00:17:56.940 a TV,

00:17:59.240 the Sinclair

00:17:59.840 local TV stations

00:18:01.040 are going to air.

00:18:02.100 And the Sinclair

00:18:02.820 stations,

00:18:03.320 by the way,

00:18:03.960 own a lot

00:18:05.200 of local TV

00:18:05.960 stations.

00:18:06.480 So this is a big

00:18:07.320 deal.

00:18:09.040 They're going to air

00:18:10.000 the Plandemic

00:18:11.180 that,

00:18:13.820 it's called

00:18:15.080 a researcher's

00:18:16.060 conspiracy theory.

00:18:17.180 Now,

00:18:17.380 conspiracy theory

00:18:18.240 is what you call

00:18:18.980 anything you don't

00:18:19.700 agree with.

00:18:20.180 So keep an open

00:18:21.840 mind about what's

00:18:22.660 a conspiracy

00:18:23.180 theory and what

00:18:23.980 isn't.

00:18:24.940 But the

00:18:25.440 Plandemic claims

00:18:26.640 that Dr.

00:18:28.560 Fauci was

00:18:30.280 responsible for

00:18:31.180 creating the

00:18:31.820 coronavirus,

00:18:33.000 and they sent

00:18:33.840 it to China,

00:18:34.920 and so Fauci's

00:18:37.260 responsible for

00:18:38.080 the coronavirus.

00:18:40.380 Now,

00:18:41.120 I suppose we

00:18:42.320 live in a world

00:18:43.000 where anything's

00:18:44.820 possible,

00:18:45.460 right?

00:18:45.660 Anything's

00:18:46.840 possible.

00:18:48.320 But,

00:18:48.780 and then other

00:18:51.240 people weighed in

00:18:52.080 and said that this

00:18:53.040 is the most

00:18:53.520 widely debunked

00:18:55.740 conspiracy theory

00:18:57.540 ever.

00:18:58.520 Now,

00:18:59.160 I told you

00:18:59.960 before that one

00:19:00.960 of the authors

00:19:01.640 of the

00:19:02.900 Plandemic book

00:19:04.220 lives locally

00:19:06.060 around here,

00:19:07.060 and he's lobbied

00:19:08.260 me.

00:19:08.620 I think he's sent

00:19:09.220 me three books

00:19:09.940 so far.

00:19:10.860 He's lobbied

00:19:11.600 me to get

00:19:12.140 him on here

00:19:12.720 to my

00:19:13.680 periscopes,

00:19:15.840 which makes

00:19:16.520 me think he

00:19:18.060 might be

00:19:18.400 watching right

00:19:18.980 now.

00:19:19.560 So,

00:19:20.380 heck and

00:19:21.320 lively.

00:19:22.300 So,

00:19:22.720 I did get

00:19:23.080 you messages,

00:19:24.020 and the reason

00:19:24.960 that I haven't

00:19:25.660 responded is

00:19:27.100 that I can't

00:19:28.000 vet this sort

00:19:29.180 of stuff.

00:19:30.860 So,

00:19:31.280 Eric Bolling

00:19:32.220 apparently had

00:19:33.280 the doctor on

00:19:35.500 there recently,

00:19:36.100 and he got

00:19:36.380 some criticism

00:19:37.100 for not knowing

00:19:38.320 ahead of time

00:19:39.560 the other

00:19:40.460 things that

00:19:41.680 they had

00:19:41.960 claimed,

00:19:43.040 etc.

00:19:44.040 And I

00:19:45.380 don't want

00:19:45.840 to make

00:19:46.920 the mistake

00:19:47.500 that Eric

00:19:48.420 Bolling made,

00:19:49.860 which is

00:19:50.540 putting on

00:19:51.760 one side

00:19:53.380 of a

00:19:54.040 controversial

00:19:54.660 scientific

00:19:56.020 claim.

00:19:57.380 If I can't

00:19:58.480 argue the

00:19:59.020 claim,

00:19:59.520 in other words,

00:20:00.020 if I don't

00:20:00.400 know enough

00:20:00.880 about the

00:20:01.280 topic,

00:20:02.080 where I

00:20:02.360 could push

00:20:02.780 back on

00:20:03.260 a claim,

00:20:04.260 I don't

00:20:04.900 want that

00:20:05.260 person talking

00:20:07.200 in public

00:20:07.700 with my

00:20:08.800 help.

00:20:09.560 Because any

00:20:11.000 single claim

00:20:12.280 and a

00:20:12.660 context looks

00:20:14.620 persuasive.

00:20:16.060 So I don't

00:20:16.840 have an opinion

00:20:17.320 about whether

00:20:17.880 the pandemic

00:20:18.400 is totally

00:20:20.400 debunked,

00:20:21.280 as other

00:20:21.840 people say,

00:20:22.740 or there's

00:20:23.380 something to

00:20:24.040 part of it,

00:20:25.200 but maybe not

00:20:25.820 all of it.

00:20:26.840 I don't know.

00:20:27.660 But I'd also

00:20:28.340 suggest that you

00:20:29.080 don't know.

00:20:30.560 And for the

00:20:31.380 fact that the

00:20:32.040 Sinclair stations

00:20:33.000 are going to

00:20:33.440 run this,

00:20:34.280 I think is

00:20:34.860 completely

00:20:35.640 irresponsible,

00:20:36.440 unless it

00:20:37.920 also runs

00:20:38.840 something from

00:20:40.220 the critics.

00:20:41.400 If it's

00:20:41.840 balanced,

00:20:42.940 if they say,

00:20:43.720 well, this

00:20:44.040 is what the

00:20:44.440 experts say,

00:20:45.780 here's what

00:20:46.260 the pandemic

00:20:46.700 movie says,

00:20:48.100 and let's

00:20:48.700 go back to

00:20:49.180 the experts

00:20:49.720 and see what

00:20:50.220 they say.

00:20:50.440 If they do

00:20:50.880 something like

00:20:51.380 that, then

00:20:51.880 fine.

00:20:52.940 Maybe it's

00:20:53.460 a public

00:20:53.820 interest to

00:20:54.420 know, to

00:20:56.500 see both

00:20:57.220 sides.

00:20:57.920 But I don't

00:20:58.440 think that's

00:20:58.860 going to

00:20:59.060 happen.

00:21:00.000 Let me give

00:21:00.500 you a good

00:21:01.040 example of

00:21:01.880 what happens

00:21:02.540 when you

00:21:03.120 only look at

00:21:03.840 one side of

00:21:04.580 an argument.

00:21:05.660 In the

00:21:06.200 comments,

00:21:07.280 tell me,

00:21:08.380 was Michael

00:21:09.200 Jackson totally,

00:21:11.620 definitely a

00:21:12.580 child molester

00:21:13.440 or not?

00:21:14.940 In the

00:21:15.320 comments, tell

00:21:16.020 me your

00:21:16.380 opinion, and

00:21:17.400 they'll tell

00:21:17.720 you why I'm

00:21:18.200 asking this.

00:21:19.360 I'm asking

00:21:19.940 because, this

00:21:20.860 goes to my

00:21:21.560 point about

00:21:22.280 how if you

00:21:22.760 see one side

00:21:23.480 of an

00:21:23.700 argument, it's

00:21:24.360 always convincing.

00:21:25.900 If one

00:21:26.740 lawyer gets

00:21:27.320 to talk, and

00:21:29.180 the other

00:21:29.460 side doesn't

00:21:30.020 get to

00:21:30.360 talk, that

00:21:31.660 one lawyer

00:21:32.320 will convince

00:21:33.380 you pretty

00:21:34.520 much every

00:21:34.960 time, I'm

00:21:36.240 looking at

00:21:36.640 your comments

00:21:37.640 about Michael

00:21:38.260 Jackson, and

00:21:39.060 you'll see

00:21:39.360 that they're

00:21:39.740 mixed, which

00:21:40.940 is what I

00:21:41.480 was expecting.

00:21:42.500 You'll see a

00:21:43.040 bunch of

00:21:43.320 yeses, you'll

00:21:44.540 see a bunch

00:21:44.960 of noes.

00:21:46.380 Now, how

00:21:46.960 can it be

00:21:47.560 that we get

00:21:48.480 to this point

00:21:49.120 in time, and

00:21:50.360 you've got a

00:21:50.840 bunch of

00:21:51.180 yeses, and

00:21:51.820 you've got a

00:21:52.200 bunch of

00:21:52.540 noes? 0.81

00:21:53.220 Well, let me

00:21:53.680 tell you my

00:21:54.100 experience.

00:21:54.880 I went from

00:21:55.720 saying, well,

00:21:57.300 gosh, I

00:21:57.700 don't know.

00:21:58.760 Could be

00:21:59.280 true, could

00:22:01.060 be true, could

00:22:01.940 be not

00:22:02.320 true, and

00:22:04.160 then I

00:22:04.440 watched a

00:22:06.100 Netflix

00:22:06.440 special, I

00:22:07.440 think it was

00:22:07.720 Netflix, in

00:22:09.040 which it

00:22:10.320 showed two

00:22:11.480 of his

00:22:11.840 accusers, now

00:22:12.780 adults, telling

00:22:13.700 their story.

00:22:15.060 Now, when you

00:22:15.480 hear the

00:22:15.900 adults telling

00:22:17.560 the story of

00:22:18.200 what happened

00:22:18.600 to them when

00:22:19.100 they were

00:22:19.280 younger, it

00:22:20.760 is 100%

00:22:22.600 credible.

00:22:24.980 It would be

00:22:26.360 hard to watch

00:22:27.480 that documentary

00:22:28.500 and walk

00:22:29.900 away thinking

00:22:30.540 that Jackson

00:22:31.460 was innocent.

00:22:33.540 I mean, it

00:22:34.100 would be

00:22:34.400 really hard.

00:22:35.680 It's

00:22:35.960 completely

00:22:36.820 convincing.

00:22:39.560 So, therefore,

00:22:40.880 Michael Jackson

00:22:41.520 definitely a

00:22:42.480 child buster,

00:22:43.160 right?

00:22:44.440 Very convincing.

00:22:46.800 Except last

00:22:47.820 night, I

00:22:49.340 watched another

00:22:50.020 documentary.

00:22:51.840 Last night, I

00:22:52.700 watched one

00:22:53.160 called Square

00:22:55.340 One, and it

00:22:57.140 took the other

00:22:57.700 side, and it

00:22:59.040 went through

00:22:59.480 the description

00:23:00.240 of how the

00:23:01.000 initial accuser

00:23:02.540 made the

00:23:03.300 accusation,

00:23:04.080 etc., and I

00:23:05.360 don't want to

00:23:05.800 give it away.

00:23:07.400 Was it an

00:23:08.080 HBO special?

00:23:08.960 Somebody's

00:23:09.360 correcting me.

00:23:11.000 Was it

00:23:11.640 something,

00:23:12.320 Wonderland,

00:23:13.140 or, yeah,

00:23:14.900 that was the

00:23:15.240 name of it.

00:23:15.980 So, anyway,

00:23:16.520 I watched the

00:23:17.280 other side of

00:23:18.300 it, and let

00:23:19.440 me tell you,

00:23:20.340 the other

00:23:20.820 side of it

00:23:21.480 that says he

00:23:22.160 was not a

00:23:23.080 child molester

00:23:23.760 is 100%

00:23:27.180 incredible.

00:23:28.920 Blew my

00:23:29.860 freaking head

00:23:31.140 off.

00:23:32.100 If you had

00:23:33.000 told me that

00:23:33.980 there was an

00:23:34.480 other side to

00:23:35.460 this story,

00:23:37.360 after I'd

00:23:38.040 seen the

00:23:38.600 completely

00:23:39.660 convincing

00:23:40.240 evidence that

00:23:40.960 he was

00:23:41.240 obviously a

00:23:42.200 child blester,

00:23:43.340 when you see

00:23:44.220 the other

00:23:44.640 side, it'll 0.84

00:23:46.360 blow your 0.91

00:23:46.960 fucking head

00:23:47.740 off.

00:23:49.060 Let me give

00:23:49.840 you just a

00:23:51.080 flavor of it,

00:23:52.320 and let me

00:23:52.780 tell you, you

00:23:53.800 should watch

00:23:54.700 this, because

00:23:56.120 if you

00:23:56.900 believe that

00:23:57.460 Michael Jackson

00:23:58.100 definitely is

00:23:58.920 guilty, and

00:23:59.720 I'm not going

00:24:00.100 to say he

00:24:00.500 is or not,

00:24:01.420 I'm going to

00:24:01.740 only talk about

00:24:02.320 the quality of

00:24:03.020 the arguments.

00:24:04.300 Do I know

00:24:04.940 anything?

00:24:05.500 Yeah, I

00:24:05.900 wasn't there.

00:24:06.980 It was not

00:24:07.500 there.

00:24:08.260 Let me give

00:24:08.800 you some

00:24:09.300 examples.

00:24:11.620 The very

00:24:12.360 first accuser

00:24:13.260 who ended

00:24:14.200 up settling,

00:24:15.980 when you hear

00:24:16.580 the story of

00:24:17.600 how that scam

00:24:18.520 came about,

00:24:20.260 and you hear

00:24:20.960 that even the

00:24:21.780 kid didn't

00:24:22.260 think anything

00:24:22.860 happened, he

00:24:24.480 talked to his

00:24:25.040 friends and

00:24:25.520 said nothing

00:24:25.940 happened even

00:24:26.540 after the

00:24:27.040 fact.

00:24:28.220 I mean, when

00:24:28.700 you hear the

00:24:29.180 whole story, it

00:24:30.120 really was just

00:24:30.820 a con artist

00:24:31.640 who figured

00:24:32.800 out a way to

00:24:33.740 make Michael

00:24:34.540 Jackson pay.

00:24:36.020 And here was

00:24:36.560 the part of

00:24:36.940 the story I'd

00:24:37.540 never heard

00:24:38.120 before, and

00:24:39.340 it goes like

00:24:39.940 this.

00:24:40.940 There were

00:24:41.560 two court

00:24:42.760 cases.

00:24:43.320 One was

00:24:43.820 criminal, and

00:24:45.540 one was

00:24:46.340 civil.

00:24:47.120 So one tries

00:24:47.860 to get money,

00:24:48.940 and one is

00:24:49.520 trying to see

00:24:50.040 if Michael

00:24:50.700 Jackson goes

00:24:51.360 to jail.

00:24:51.820 Typically, the

00:24:53.460 way you do

00:24:53.980 those is you

00:24:54.960 do the

00:24:55.320 criminal case

00:24:56.060 first, and

00:24:57.400 then, depending

00:24:58.020 on how that

00:24:58.560 turns out, that

00:24:59.980 gives you a

00:25:00.460 basis to do

00:25:02.440 or not do

00:25:03.400 a civil suit

00:25:06.360 where you're

00:25:06.660 trying to get

00:25:07.000 money.

00:25:07.900 Now, the

00:25:08.740 problem is

00:25:09.420 that in the

00:25:10.140 Michael Jackson

00:25:11.800 case, his

00:25:13.460 civil suit was

00:25:14.900 on a faster

00:25:16.340 schedule, which

00:25:18.300 meant that he

00:25:19.220 would have had

00:25:19.640 to give away

00:25:20.220 his entire

00:25:20.780 defense,

00:25:21.820 in the

00:25:22.580 civil suit

00:25:23.200 before the

00:25:24.580 criminal case

00:25:25.460 was run.

00:25:26.840 And if you

00:25:27.600 do that, the

00:25:28.720 experts say

00:25:29.580 that the

00:25:30.600 criminal case

00:25:31.340 people get

00:25:32.360 to craft

00:25:33.080 and recraft

00:25:33.940 their case

00:25:34.700 so that the

00:25:36.060 defense doesn't

00:25:37.180 work.

00:25:38.740 And therefore,

00:25:39.600 it's massively

00:25:40.680 unconstitutional,

00:25:42.420 or at least

00:25:43.440 unfair.

00:25:44.180 I think it's

00:25:44.540 actually passed

00:25:45.300 constitutional muster

00:25:46.900 since then,

00:25:47.620 but in my

00:25:48.300 opinion, it's

00:25:49.340 unconstitutional

00:25:50.180 because it

00:25:51.160 guarantees an

00:25:52.120 unfair trial

00:25:53.100 in the

00:25:54.080 criminal case.

00:25:54.940 Guarantees it.

00:25:56.040 It guarantees

00:25:56.940 an unfair

00:25:58.020 trial.

00:25:59.680 And so,

00:26:00.220 Michael Jackson

00:26:00.840 had the

00:26:01.300 following

00:26:01.740 situation.

00:26:04.180 He could

00:26:04.780 either settle

00:26:05.540 for something

00:26:06.360 that definitely

00:26:07.020 didn't happen,

00:26:08.500 or he could

00:26:09.780 risk going to

00:26:10.680 jail because

00:26:11.880 he knew that

00:26:12.540 his defense

00:26:13.280 would be laid 0.52

00:26:14.500 bare in the

00:26:15.740 civil suit,

00:26:16.360 and when he

00:26:17.240 went to

00:26:17.540 criminal court,

00:26:18.440 basically he

00:26:19.020 would get

00:26:19.280 eaten alive

00:26:20.000 and probably

00:26:21.060 be convicted

00:26:21.780 for something

00:26:22.400 that didn't

00:26:22.780 happen.

00:26:24.320 And so,

00:26:24.740 he settled.

00:26:25.840 Once he

00:26:26.500 settled,

00:26:27.800 there became

00:26:29.240 another thing

00:26:30.080 that happened,

00:26:30.640 and here's

00:26:30.980 the key part.

00:26:32.340 The fake

00:26:33.000 news business

00:26:34.400 at the time

00:26:35.340 was paying

00:26:36.800 people who

00:26:38.120 would come

00:26:38.580 forward and

00:26:39.220 say that

00:26:39.700 something bad

00:26:40.500 happened at

00:26:41.440 Michael Jackson's

00:26:43.440 house.

00:26:44.440 What happens

00:26:45.160 when you pay

00:26:45.800 massive amounts

00:26:46.740 of money

00:26:47.200 to people

00:26:48.560 who are

00:26:48.880 willing to

00:26:49.460 lie on

00:26:50.300 television?

00:26:51.200 What happens?

00:26:52.500 You get a lot

00:26:53.300 of people who

00:26:53.800 are willing to

00:26:54.320 lie on

00:26:54.800 television.

00:26:56.080 And the

00:26:56.700 ones who

00:26:57.100 came after

00:26:57.660 were just

00:26:58.180 sort of

00:26:58.820 obvious liars.

00:27:00.320 So now

00:27:00.960 you've got

00:27:01.360 one case

00:27:02.060 that Jackson

00:27:02.880 settled because

00:27:03.840 he got in

00:27:04.480 this weird

00:27:05.040 legal bind

00:27:07.700 that he just

00:27:08.620 had to do

00:27:09.140 the safe

00:27:09.820 thing.

00:27:10.460 That created

00:27:11.320 the first

00:27:11.800 story.

00:27:12.840 That generated

00:27:13.780 fake news

00:27:14.620 paying people

00:27:15.340 for more

00:27:15.840 stories because

00:27:16.900 they got a

00:27:17.320 lot of

00:27:17.620 clicks.

00:27:18.740 So now

00:27:19.020 you have

00:27:19.440 a pattern.

00:27:21.580 And when

00:27:22.480 you say to

00:27:22.880 yourself,

00:27:23.240 but what

00:27:23.460 about those,

00:27:24.900 you know,

00:27:25.180 the two

00:27:25.440 older ones

00:27:26.180 that you

00:27:26.420 saw in

00:27:26.680 the other

00:27:26.940 documentary,

00:27:27.920 they're

00:27:28.300 adults.

00:27:29.500 It doesn't

00:27:29.940 seem like

00:27:30.340 they have

00:27:30.620 anything to

00:27:31.140 gain by

00:27:31.760 making

00:27:32.580 something up.

00:27:33.740 Well,

00:27:33.920 here's the

00:27:34.260 thing.

00:27:35.760 They also

00:27:36.560 have some

00:27:37.040 connection to

00:27:37.760 some of

00:27:38.100 the badness

00:27:38.660 and I

00:27:38.960 won't give

00:27:39.740 it away.

00:27:40.780 But the

00:27:41.580 documentary

00:27:43.540 that

00:27:43.860 excuses

00:27:44.500 Jackson

00:27:45.160 doesn't

00:27:46.840 too

00:27:47.560 directly

00:27:48.000 deal

00:27:48.320 with

00:27:48.520 those

00:27:48.820 latest

00:27:49.360 adult

00:27:49.860 accusations.

00:27:51.200 But it

00:27:51.640 does

00:27:51.960 completely

00:27:52.720 eliminate

00:27:53.260 the bulk

00:27:53.980 of the

00:27:54.260 ones you've

00:27:54.720 heard.

00:27:55.520 And they

00:27:55.800 are absolutely

00:27:56.660 they look

00:27:58.000 pretty fake.

00:27:59.640 The other

00:28:00.380 ones,

00:28:00.980 who knows?

00:28:02.180 But let me

00:28:02.580 give you a

00:28:02.960 little

00:28:03.140 anecdote here.

00:28:06.460 Collie

00:28:06.860 McCulkin

00:28:08.240 was saying

00:28:08.760 this.

00:28:09.840 When you

00:28:10.220 hear the

00:28:10.600 story that

00:28:11.320 Michael

00:28:12.360 Jackson

00:28:12.880 let

00:28:13.420 children

00:28:14.140 that he

00:28:15.460 had been

00:28:15.740 visiting

00:28:16.160 sleep over

00:28:17.040 in his

00:28:17.620 bedroom,

00:28:18.560 what do

00:28:19.100 you think?

00:28:20.060 You see

00:28:20.840 them all

00:28:21.140 in the

00:28:21.340 same bed,

00:28:21.860 right?

00:28:23.080 And here's

00:28:23.880 one of the

00:28:25.360 stories that

00:28:26.520 Collie

00:28:27.080 McCulkin

00:28:27.500 was saying.

00:28:28.260 The first

00:28:28.960 thing you

00:28:29.220 don't

00:28:29.400 understand is

00:28:30.240 that Michael

00:28:30.700 Jackson's

00:28:31.400 bedroom was

00:28:32.640 two stories.

00:28:34.680 It was

00:28:34.960 two stories.

00:28:35.600 so you

00:28:36.640 could be

00:28:36.980 in his

00:28:37.260 bedroom

00:28:37.680 without

00:28:38.160 even being

00:28:38.700 in the

00:28:38.940 same room.

00:28:40.600 And he

00:28:41.040 told the

00:28:41.400 story about

00:28:41.900 some kid

00:28:42.520 who wanted

00:28:43.180 to sleep

00:28:43.720 in his

00:28:44.760 bedroom

00:28:45.140 and his

00:28:45.560 bed,

00:28:46.380 and Michael

00:28:46.860 Jackson

00:28:47.260 asked one

00:28:47.940 of the

00:28:48.180 adult staff

00:28:48.920 members to

00:28:50.060 sleep in

00:28:50.480 the room

00:28:50.780 with him,

00:28:51.760 and the

00:28:52.160 two of

00:28:52.960 them slept

00:28:53.400 on the

00:28:53.720 floor and

00:28:54.240 let the

00:28:54.540 kids use

00:28:55.280 the big

00:28:55.600 bed.

00:28:56.780 Now, I

00:28:57.100 don't know

00:28:57.360 how common

00:28:57.940 it was for

00:28:58.440 him to do

00:28:58.860 that, but

00:28:59.720 the fact

00:29:00.120 that it

00:29:00.380 happened

00:29:00.660 even once

00:29:01.520 tells you

00:29:02.980 that Michael

00:29:03.480 Jackson was

00:29:04.120 aware that

00:29:04.840 you don't

00:29:05.240 want to

00:29:05.520 be alone

00:29:06.280 with a

00:29:06.620 kid in

00:29:06.900 your bed.

00:29:08.400 Did he

00:29:08.920 ever do

00:29:09.260 it before?

00:29:09.780 I don't

00:29:09.980 know.

00:29:10.740 So here's

00:29:11.160 the point.

00:29:12.440 I don't

00:29:12.980 know what

00:29:13.280 Michael

00:29:13.560 Jackson did

00:29:14.200 or did

00:29:14.580 not do.

00:29:15.180 I do

00:29:15.420 know that

00:29:15.820 a huge

00:29:16.220 part of

00:29:16.620 that story

00:29:17.760 about what

00:29:18.220 he did

00:29:18.560 looks

00:29:18.880 completely

00:29:19.580 not

00:29:19.960 credible.

00:29:20.840 That

00:29:21.300 doesn't

00:29:21.680 mean all

00:29:22.040 the rest

00:29:22.400 of it

00:29:22.660 is not

00:29:23.060 credible.

00:29:23.900 It just

00:29:24.420 means that

00:29:25.140 the fake

00:29:25.580 news

00:29:26.040 basically

00:29:27.260 destroyed

00:29:27.920 this

00:29:28.160 person.

00:29:29.460 If you

00:29:29.840 took the

00:29:30.240 fake news

00:29:30.820 business

00:29:31.340 out of

00:29:32.420 the

00:29:32.540 equation

00:29:32.980 Michael

00:29:33.720 Jackson

00:29:34.160 would

00:29:34.600 still

00:29:34.900 probably

00:29:36.280 be

00:29:36.560 performing

00:29:37.100 today.

00:29:37.680 I don't

00:29:37.860 even know

00:29:38.120 if he'd

00:29:38.340 be dead. 0.94

00:29:39.800 So keep

00:29:41.800 that in

00:29:42.120 mind.

00:29:43.520 You have to

00:29:44.640 watch both

00:29:45.220 of those

00:29:45.560 documentaries.

00:29:46.720 If you don't

00:29:47.160 watch them

00:29:47.540 both, you're

00:29:48.280 really not

00:29:48.780 going to get

00:29:49.100 the feel

00:29:49.600 of this

00:29:50.060 two-world

00:29:51.380 situation.

00:29:52.020 I saw

00:29:54.400 on social

00:29:55.400 media, but

00:29:55.960 I'm looking

00:29:56.240 for a

00:29:56.560 confirmation,

00:29:57.800 that something

00:29:58.260 like half

00:29:58.940 of all

00:29:59.320 coronavirus

00:29:59.760 deaths

00:30:00.580 happen to

00:30:01.960 diabetics.

00:30:03.280 Is that

00:30:03.800 really true?

00:30:05.080 Is it

00:30:05.440 true that

00:30:05.820 half of

00:30:07.540 coronavirus

00:30:07.980 deaths are

00:30:08.960 diabetics?

00:30:10.640 And the

00:30:11.280 diabetics are

00:30:11.980 still walking

00:30:12.700 around just

00:30:14.180 like they

00:30:14.700 have the

00:30:14.940 same risk

00:30:15.420 of everybody

00:30:16.160 else?

00:30:17.040 I mean, I

00:30:17.940 would hope

00:30:18.260 that they're

00:30:18.600 hiding pretty

00:30:19.160 well by now.

00:30:20.640 But it

00:30:21.340 feels like

00:30:22.120 we could

00:30:22.460 really make

00:30:23.220 something happen

00:30:23.860 if that's

00:30:24.280 true.

00:30:27.620 There are

00:30:28.300 also two

00:30:29.080 movies and

00:30:29.680 two worlds

00:30:30.240 about all

00:30:30.680 the protests.

00:30:31.820 If you

00:30:32.060 look at

00:30:32.440 Fox News,

00:30:33.300 you'll see

00:30:33.580 lots of

00:30:34.000 articles and

00:30:34.820 photos of

00:30:36.060 things burning

00:30:36.720 and things

00:30:37.360 being thrown

00:30:37.960 at police

00:30:38.640 and dangerous

00:30:40.020 lasers blinding

00:30:42.240 them, etc.

00:30:42.980 A bunch of

00:30:44.080 police have

00:30:44.560 been literally

00:30:45.740 blinded by

00:30:47.420 these lasers

00:30:48.420 from the

00:30:48.900 protesters.

00:30:50.160 Now,

00:30:50.300 I'm so

00:30:55.460 angry about

00:30:56.160 that in

00:30:56.800 particular.

00:30:57.640 It's one

00:30:58.000 thing to

00:30:58.320 get hit

00:30:58.880 with a

00:30:59.200 blunt object.

00:31:00.200 That could 0.68

00:31:00.620 be bad

00:31:00.980 enough.

00:31:01.660 But to

00:31:02.000 be blinded

00:31:02.780 just because

00:31:03.260 you went

00:31:03.560 to work,

00:31:06.440 I don't

00:31:06.920 know.

00:31:07.200 If the

00:31:07.540 police just

00:31:07.980 opened fire

00:31:08.540 on the

00:31:09.880 protesters

00:31:10.420 with the

00:31:12.920 I think

00:31:14.540 they should

00:31:14.940 shoot to

00:31:15.380 kill.

00:31:16.540 Anybody

00:31:16.980 who's got

00:31:17.460 a laser

00:31:18.040 that they're

00:31:19.160 putting in

00:31:19.560 people's

00:31:19.920 eyes.

00:31:20.540 That's

00:31:20.780 just my

00:31:21.100 opinion.

00:31:22.220 Now,

00:31:23.140 probably

00:31:23.540 it would

00:31:23.760 cause a

00:31:24.160 lot of

00:31:24.380 problems.

00:31:25.120 It may

00:31:25.380 be more

00:31:25.720 problems

00:31:26.160 than it

00:31:26.460 solves.

00:31:27.180 But I

00:31:27.480 think if

00:31:27.780 you actually

00:31:28.160 saw somebody

00:31:29.300 aiming a

00:31:30.840 laser,

00:31:31.980 that no

00:31:32.800 matter where

00:31:33.300 that laser

00:31:33.840 was aimed,

00:31:34.560 if it's a

00:31:35.060 deadly weapon,

00:31:35.880 meaning that it

00:31:36.400 will blind

00:31:36.800 somebody,

00:31:37.500 I think the

00:31:38.020 police should

00:31:38.420 be able to

00:31:38.800 shoot to

00:31:39.100 kill.

00:31:39.320 if they

00:31:40.700 even see

00:31:41.120 the

00:31:41.320 laser.

00:31:42.740 The moment

00:31:43.580 the laser

00:31:44.060 comes out,

00:31:44.740 that should

00:31:45.000 be a

00:31:45.280 shoot to

00:31:45.600 kill

00:31:45.800 situation,

00:31:46.540 because it

00:31:46.980 would be

00:31:47.220 if it

00:31:47.460 were a

00:31:47.700 gun.

00:31:49.220 If somebody

00:31:49.720 brought out

00:31:50.160 a gun,

00:31:51.480 that would be

00:31:51.840 a shoot to

00:31:52.280 kill situation

00:31:53.000 if it looked

00:31:53.500 like they

00:31:53.960 were going

00:31:54.200 to use

00:31:54.500 it.

00:31:55.660 If somebody

00:31:56.300 brings out

00:31:56.700 a laser

00:31:57.080 to blind

00:31:57.760 a police

00:31:58.220 officer,

00:31:59.280 let me say

00:32:00.460 as clearly

00:32:01.120 as I

00:32:01.540 possibly can,

00:32:03.180 you put me

00:32:03.820 on that

00:32:04.240 jury,

00:32:05.580 that police

00:32:06.220 officer is

00:32:06.860 free.

00:32:07.120 put me

00:32:08.580 on the

00:32:08.900 jury that

00:32:09.860 tries to

00:32:10.320 convict a

00:32:10.860 police

00:32:11.160 officer for

00:32:12.340 shooting

00:32:12.860 somebody who

00:32:13.560 has a

00:32:13.940 blinding

00:32:14.520 laser that

00:32:15.160 is in

00:32:16.480 their hand.

00:32:18.480 You're a

00:32:19.100 free man or

00:32:19.940 free woman.

00:32:21.180 You put me

00:32:21.760 on that

00:32:22.060 jury,

00:32:22.620 no way

00:32:23.820 I'm going

00:32:24.260 to convict

00:32:24.740 a cop for

00:32:25.460 shooting a

00:32:26.080 guy with a

00:32:26.580 laser that

00:32:27.100 blinds people.

00:32:28.220 No way.

00:32:30.480 If you're

00:32:31.180 wondering what's

00:32:31.760 going to

00:32:31.920 happen with

00:32:32.380 all their

00:32:32.680 urban centers,

00:32:34.480 I suggest

00:32:35.180 you learn

00:32:36.300 about

00:32:36.640 insurance

00:32:37.500 and

00:32:38.060 banking.

00:32:39.440 Because

00:32:39.960 when you

00:32:40.800 see all

00:32:41.120 the shops

00:32:41.820 that were

00:32:42.120 destroyed by

00:32:42.920 the looters

00:32:43.840 in the

00:32:44.100 urban areas,

00:32:44.800 you say

00:32:45.060 to yourself,

00:32:46.220 well,

00:32:46.820 you know,

00:32:47.200 they'll wait

00:32:47.540 for the

00:32:47.920 tension to

00:32:48.700 go down

00:32:49.160 and then

00:32:49.720 they'll

00:32:49.960 rebuild.

00:32:50.900 Or maybe

00:32:51.460 other people

00:32:52.040 will come

00:32:52.420 in,

00:32:52.680 other tenants

00:32:53.320 will take

00:32:53.920 over and

00:32:54.320 rebuild.

00:32:55.420 But there's

00:32:56.160 a problem.

00:32:57.620 You kind

00:32:58.220 of need

00:32:58.660 insurance

00:32:59.400 to have

00:33:00.840 a viable

00:33:01.540 business.

00:33:02.520 If you

00:33:03.140 need a

00:33:03.460 bank loan,

00:33:04.540 the bank's

00:33:05.620 going to

00:33:05.920 want you

00:33:06.620 to have

00:33:06.840 insurance

00:33:07.320 too,

00:33:07.800 so that

00:33:08.280 you're

00:33:08.660 covered in

00:33:09.120 case something

00:33:09.520 happens.

00:33:10.640 Now,

00:33:10.940 insurance

00:33:11.260 companies will

00:33:11.920 often,

00:33:12.540 if not

00:33:13.200 always,

00:33:14.040 exclude

00:33:14.780 riots.

00:33:16.560 So,

00:33:17.060 riots would

00:33:18.220 not be

00:33:18.640 covered by

00:33:19.080 insurance.

00:33:19.980 Now,

00:33:20.340 that was

00:33:20.620 probably not

00:33:21.180 a big

00:33:21.540 problem in

00:33:22.120 the past,

00:33:22.720 because when

00:33:23.500 you're filling

00:33:24.040 out your

00:33:24.420 insurance policy,

00:33:25.360 you're thinking,

00:33:26.400 well,

00:33:27.100 what are the

00:33:27.660 odds I'm

00:33:28.900 going to lose

00:33:29.200 my business

00:33:29.680 to a riot?

00:33:30.340 That doesn't

00:33:32.400 seem very

00:33:32.980 likely.

00:33:33.900 So,

00:33:34.140 you still

00:33:34.400 buy the

00:33:34.760 insurance.

00:33:36.160 But would

00:33:36.680 you buy

00:33:37.280 insurance with

00:33:38.520 no riot

00:33:39.500 protection in

00:33:41.060 the very

00:33:41.500 places that

00:33:42.620 have recently

00:33:43.420 been destroyed

00:33:44.100 by riots,

00:33:45.220 and no end

00:33:46.100 in sight?

00:33:47.040 I would

00:33:47.720 suggest that

00:33:48.820 you can

00:33:49.100 predict what's

00:33:49.780 going to

00:33:49.980 happen to

00:33:50.620 at least the

00:33:52.020 retail parts

00:33:52.740 of the

00:33:53.140 inner cities

00:33:53.680 by looking

00:33:55.160 at banking

00:33:56.040 and insurance

00:33:57.480 and entrepreneurs

00:33:58.920 and how

00:33:59.580 they manage

00:34:00.520 risk.

00:34:01.900 And at this

00:34:02.320 point,

00:34:02.700 the risk

00:34:03.100 is just

00:34:03.480 too high.

00:34:04.600 And that's

00:34:05.340 going to

00:34:05.600 persist for

00:34:06.240 years.

00:34:07.500 So,

00:34:08.200 I don't

00:34:08.580 see any

00:34:09.220 situation in

00:34:10.160 which the

00:34:10.740 urban areas

00:34:11.420 quickly come

00:34:12.540 back,

00:34:13.300 if they

00:34:13.680 come back

00:34:14.080 at all.

00:34:16.980 Let's

00:34:17.540 see.

00:34:23.320 There,

00:34:24.080 I was

00:34:25.560 tweeting about

00:34:26.120 5G,

00:34:26.820 and people

00:34:29.000 think there

00:34:29.620 might be

00:34:30.100 some health

00:34:30.500 dangers from

00:34:31.520 5G,

00:34:32.840 which is the

00:34:33.540 new faster

00:34:34.060 technology for

00:34:34.920 phones.

00:34:35.660 Now,

00:34:35.880 the first

00:34:36.160 thing I want

00:34:36.560 to say about

00:34:36.960 it is,

00:34:38.040 as I said

00:34:38.960 in my tweet,

00:34:39.460 I don't

00:34:39.720 think society

00:34:41.040 understands

00:34:41.960 that this

00:34:43.220 new faster

00:34:44.020 speed for

00:34:44.860 phones called

00:34:45.620 5G,

00:34:46.700 because it

00:34:47.420 sounds like

00:34:48.000 4G and

00:34:49.720 3G,

00:34:50.640 and you knew

00:34:51.100 what those

00:34:51.480 were,

00:34:51.860 right?

00:34:52.400 Oh,

00:34:52.660 3G was

00:34:53.380 data,

00:34:53.960 but it was

00:34:54.200 kind of slow.

00:34:55.700 4G is

00:34:56.260 pretty snappy,

00:34:57.280 pretty fast.

00:34:58.740 5G is

00:34:59.380 going to be

00:34:59.680 better.

00:35:00.660 It'll be a

00:35:01.100 little faster,

00:35:01.760 right?

00:35:02.180 If that's

00:35:02.820 what you're

00:35:03.140 thinking,

00:35:03.920 you're missing

00:35:04.820 the show.

00:35:06.280 5G is

00:35:07.180 not a

00:35:08.240 little bit

00:35:08.640 faster data.

00:35:10.640 5G will

00:35:11.680 change

00:35:12.100 civilization.

00:35:14.480 5G will

00:35:16.000 just change

00:35:16.940 civilization,

00:35:17.860 in a way

00:35:18.580 similar to

00:35:19.220 how smartphones

00:35:19.840 did.

00:35:20.940 Because,

00:35:21.720 I don't know

00:35:22.300 about you,

00:35:22.720 but I'm

00:35:24.580 using my

00:35:25.040 phone for

00:35:25.480 getting all

00:35:25.900 my delivery

00:35:26.480 of my

00:35:26.980 food,

00:35:28.140 because I'm

00:35:28.720 quarantined at

00:35:29.560 the moment

00:35:29.940 in anticipation

00:35:30.980 of some

00:35:31.860 surgery upcoming.

00:35:33.720 And so,

00:35:34.380 if I didn't

00:35:34.640 have my

00:35:35.000 phone,

00:35:35.520 I could

00:35:35.840 barely do

00:35:37.540 what I

00:35:37.840 do.

00:35:38.240 I mean,

00:35:38.560 smartphones,

00:35:39.420 I think you

00:35:39.820 would agree,

00:35:40.760 have transformed

00:35:41.740 civilization,

00:35:43.040 but not as

00:35:44.020 much as

00:35:44.760 5G.

00:35:46.000 And here's

00:35:46.480 why.

00:35:47.700 5G is

00:35:48.500 going to

00:35:48.820 give you

00:35:49.340 an augmented

00:35:50.780 reality world.

00:35:53.280 It won't

00:35:54.000 be long

00:35:54.420 before my

00:35:55.420 glasses are

00:35:56.460 connected to

00:35:57.220 my phone,

00:35:57.860 and my

00:35:58.240 phone has

00:35:58.900 5G.

00:35:59.960 That's

00:36:00.480 pretty much

00:36:01.140 guaranteed.

00:36:02.160 There's no

00:36:02.660 way that

00:36:03.000 won't happen,

00:36:04.080 because it's

00:36:04.500 just too

00:36:05.020 there.

00:36:06.680 I mean,

00:36:06.920 it's too

00:36:07.320 obvious that

00:36:08.500 that's going

00:36:08.880 to be a

00:36:09.080 thing.

00:36:09.860 Once you

00:36:10.280 have enough

00:36:10.700 people who

00:36:11.280 have the

00:36:11.960 types of

00:36:12.420 glasses,

00:36:12.980 or they

00:36:13.220 don't really

00:36:13.560 need them,

00:36:13.940 they can

00:36:14.160 just hold

00:36:14.520 up their

00:36:14.820 phone and

00:36:15.920 see,

00:36:16.120 see an

00:36:17.040 augmented

00:36:17.480 reality

00:36:18.020 just like

00:36:19.300 a camera.

00:36:21.180 But those

00:36:21.980 people will

00:36:22.540 be living

00:36:23.260 in a

00:36:23.920 much

00:36:24.340 improved

00:36:25.320 world.

00:36:26.440 Because with

00:36:26.980 your glasses

00:36:27.460 on, you

00:36:27.940 won't just

00:36:28.320 see the

00:36:28.700 things that

00:36:29.120 are there.

00:36:29.780 You'll see

00:36:30.260 a menu

00:36:30.720 for everything

00:36:31.300 there.

00:36:32.040 There's a

00:36:32.640 television

00:36:33.100 across the

00:36:33.740 room.

00:36:34.100 I would

00:36:34.320 see a

00:36:35.540 remote

00:36:36.040 control

00:36:36.420 pop up,

00:36:37.540 and I

00:36:37.760 could control

00:36:38.240 my TV

00:36:38.840 in the

00:36:39.360 air,

00:36:40.120 because in

00:36:40.640 the air

00:36:40.960 I would

00:36:41.260 see an

00:36:41.540 actual

00:36:41.780 remote

00:36:42.180 control.

00:36:43.080 So I

00:36:43.520 could get

00:36:43.820 directions on

00:36:44.560 anything.

00:36:45.060 I could

00:36:45.240 find out

00:36:45.840 really I

00:36:47.600 would have

00:36:47.880 this whole

00:36:48.440 enhanced

00:36:49.560 reality such

00:36:51.860 that when I

00:36:52.460 took my

00:36:52.840 glasses off

00:36:53.520 at night,

00:36:54.860 it would

00:36:55.660 start to

00:36:56.200 feel the

00:36:56.620 way you

00:36:56.940 feel when

00:36:57.420 you accidentally

00:36:58.120 leave home

00:36:58.740 without your

00:36:59.240 phone.

00:37:00.300 Have you had

00:37:00.800 that experience?

00:37:02.120 Ever get in

00:37:02.620 your car and

00:37:03.240 you're driving

00:37:03.640 someplace and

00:37:04.320 you're going to

00:37:04.560 be gone for

00:37:05.120 a while and

00:37:06.100 you look for

00:37:06.520 your phone and

00:37:07.120 it's not

00:37:07.500 there, and

00:37:08.640 you think,

00:37:09.240 oh God,

00:37:09.860 what if I get

00:37:11.020 a problem?

00:37:11.620 It's not the

00:37:14.080 end of the

00:37:14.400 world, but it

00:37:15.640 definitely

00:37:15.960 bothers you.

00:37:17.560 Now imagine

00:37:18.480 if you had

00:37:19.320 an enhanced

00:37:19.980 reality world,

00:37:21.420 an augmented

00:37:21.920 reality where

00:37:22.660 you're seeing

00:37:23.000 things floating

00:37:23.740 that don't

00:37:24.240 exist.

00:37:25.020 You can

00:37:25.380 call up a

00:37:26.180 screen that

00:37:26.820 floats in

00:37:27.240 front of

00:37:27.580 you to

00:37:28.260 watch a

00:37:29.380 movie that

00:37:30.420 floats in

00:37:30.880 the air that

00:37:31.340 only you can

00:37:31.940 see, because

00:37:33.200 you've got

00:37:33.480 your earbuds

00:37:34.820 in too.

00:37:35.720 So you're

00:37:36.160 walking around

00:37:36.720 watching a

00:37:37.240 movie, you

00:37:37.780 meet somebody,

00:37:38.520 their social

00:37:40.820 media profile

00:37:41.980 appears above

00:37:42.700 their head.

00:37:43.960 Try to live

00:37:44.720 without that.

00:37:46.200 It will be

00:37:46.940 so addictive

00:37:48.100 and useful

00:37:49.120 that it will

00:37:50.000 be like if

00:37:51.440 you didn't

00:37:51.680 have a

00:37:52.000 smartphone.

00:37:53.640 So I think

00:37:54.220 that the

00:37:54.540 world will

00:37:55.200 start to

00:37:55.980 bifurcate

00:37:57.340 into people

00:37:58.140 who are

00:37:58.520 essentially

00:37:59.120 cyborgs.

00:38:00.480 Because once

00:38:01.280 you get to

00:38:01.720 the point

00:38:02.060 where you're

00:38:02.680 living in

00:38:03.200 an enhanced

00:38:03.820 reality with

00:38:04.920 labels and

00:38:06.260 messages and

00:38:06.940 instructions and

00:38:07.840 more detail and

00:38:09.100 all that, you're

00:38:10.340 basically a

00:38:10.980 cyborg.

00:38:12.340 Now, I've

00:38:13.940 argued for a

00:38:14.560 long time, and

00:38:15.240 Elon Musk said

00:38:16.220 something similar

00:38:16.960 recently, that

00:38:18.380 the smartphones

00:38:19.260 already made

00:38:20.280 us cyborgs.

00:38:21.760 So the fact

00:38:23.040 that you can

00:38:23.480 leave it at

00:38:23.960 home and

00:38:24.320 drive away is

00:38:26.080 sort of trivial

00:38:26.820 because you'll

00:38:27.960 wish you

00:38:28.280 hadn't.

00:38:30.020 But as

00:38:30.800 soon as you've

00:38:31.260 got the

00:38:31.640 neural link,

00:38:34.600 which is

00:38:35.040 also Elon

00:38:36.500 Musk's, one 1.00

00:38:37.540 of his

00:38:37.740 companies,

00:38:39.560 they're going

00:38:39.780 to embed a

00:38:40.220 little sensor

00:38:40.800 for your

00:38:41.180 brain so

00:38:41.740 you maybe

00:38:42.100 could control

00:38:42.760 things just

00:38:44.500 by thinking

00:38:45.020 it.

00:38:45.720 Now, imagine

00:38:46.340 if you could

00:38:47.460 see through

00:38:48.160 your glasses

00:38:48.740 an enhanced

00:38:49.840 reality with

00:38:50.640 augmented stuff

00:38:51.620 and you could

00:38:52.900 just think

00:38:53.720 them to

00:38:54.200 change.

00:38:55.040 So you

00:38:55.320 could just

00:38:55.560 look around,

00:38:56.180 you could

00:38:56.420 see a TV,

00:38:57.560 and you

00:38:57.920 could just

00:38:58.580 blink at

00:38:59.080 it and it

00:38:59.340 would come

00:38:59.620 on because

00:39:01.500 your brain

00:39:02.540 knew that

00:39:02.880 you wanted

00:39:03.220 it to be

00:39:03.620 on.

00:39:03.860 So, put

00:39:06.920 those things

00:39:07.520 together and

00:39:08.280 we are fully

00:39:09.300 into the

00:39:10.700 cyborg era.

00:39:13.360 But here's

00:39:14.040 the problem.

00:39:15.240 What if

00:39:15.720 everybody doesn't

00:39:16.720 become a

00:39:17.220 cyborg?

00:39:18.600 Will there

00:39:19.220 be a

00:39:20.260 human,

00:39:21.640 organic

00:39:22.080 movement of

00:39:24.040 people who

00:39:24.480 don't have

00:39:24.860 any technology?

00:39:26.660 Probably.

00:39:27.420 I just don't

00:39:27.900 know how big

00:39:28.420 it will be.

00:39:28.840 Will it be

00:39:29.320 Amish country

00:39:30.840 small or

00:39:31.580 will be

00:39:32.220 a third

00:39:32.740 of the

00:39:32.960 country?

00:39:33.660 Doesn't

00:39:34.140 want to

00:39:34.360 be a

00:39:34.600 cyborg.

00:39:35.720 Now, if

00:39:36.640 you ask

00:39:36.920 me, I

00:39:38.140 can't wait.

00:39:39.600 Make me a

00:39:40.300 cyborg as

00:39:41.060 quickly as

00:39:41.820 you can.

00:39:43.900 But anyway,

00:39:44.640 people don't

00:39:44.960 realize what

00:39:45.600 a big deal

00:39:46.020 that is.

00:39:46.400 But here's

00:39:46.720 the funny

00:39:47.020 part of my

00:39:47.460 story.

00:39:48.260 There's

00:39:48.640 nothing more

00:39:49.280 amusing.

00:39:49.940 There probably

00:39:50.500 is, but

00:39:50.980 it's amusing

00:39:51.580 when you're

00:39:52.560 on social

00:39:53.040 media and

00:39:53.880 people don't

00:39:54.440 know what

00:39:55.120 your background

00:39:55.680 is and

00:39:57.060 they challenge

00:39:57.660 you on a

00:39:58.280 point that

00:39:59.260 you might be

00:39:59.960 the one

00:40:00.760 person in

00:40:01.340 the world

00:40:01.640 who knows

00:40:02.040 more about

00:40:02.520 it than

00:40:02.780 anybody.

00:40:04.020 So it's

00:40:04.540 sort of like

00:40:04.900 that Woody

00:40:05.340 Allen movie.

00:40:06.540 I think it

00:40:06.860 was Annie

00:40:07.220 Hall where

00:40:07.760 he's standing

00:40:08.180 in line for

00:40:09.140 a show and

00:40:10.580 they're arguing

00:40:11.060 about some

00:40:11.640 public figure,

00:40:13.320 Marshall McLuhan,

00:40:14.280 an author.

00:40:15.640 And Marshall

00:40:16.180 McLuhan ends

00:40:17.000 up in this

00:40:18.540 movie scene,

00:40:19.760 the actual

00:40:20.240 Marshall McLuhan

00:40:21.100 is standing

00:40:22.060 in line right

00:40:22.680 behind him and

00:40:23.920 gets into the

00:40:24.520 conversation and

00:40:25.480 corrects something.

00:40:27.240 And that movie

00:40:28.080 scene always stuck

00:40:28.920 with me because

00:40:29.800 you see that

00:40:30.360 playing out in

00:40:31.080 real life and

00:40:32.360 it happened

00:40:32.760 here.

00:40:33.520 So somebody

00:40:33.960 said to me on

00:40:34.880 social media that

00:40:36.860 5G hasn't been

00:40:37.960 tested because the

00:40:39.900 big companies that

00:40:41.240 are going to roll

00:40:41.800 it out, they

00:40:43.020 would have no

00:40:43.560 interest in

00:40:44.420 testing it to

00:40:45.140 find out that

00:40:45.760 it's dangerous and

00:40:47.440 therefore it's not

00:40:48.160 been tested.

00:40:49.000 Sort of logically

00:40:50.040 you say to

00:40:50.620 yourself, well

00:40:51.620 logically they

00:40:52.500 don't want to

00:40:53.300 hear that it's

00:40:53.820 bad for you,

00:40:54.460 they want to

00:40:54.820 make a trillion

00:40:55.340 dollars, the

00:40:56.560 phone companies

00:40:57.140 mostly.

00:40:57.520 So, you

00:40:59.420 know, and the

00:40:59.760 phone makers, so

00:41:01.420 nobody would have

00:41:02.820 studied it.

00:41:04.260 Now that's what

00:41:04.900 somebody said to

00:41:05.640 me on social

00:41:06.480 media and here

00:41:07.620 was my answer.

00:41:08.920 I used to work

00:41:09.960 for the phone

00:41:10.420 company and part

00:41:12.160 of my job was

00:41:13.160 doing the economic

00:41:15.300 projections of

00:41:17.140 whether we should

00:41:17.800 do more wireless

00:41:18.640 stuff.

00:41:19.760 I actually

00:41:20.540 personally worked

00:41:21.320 on that.

00:41:21.780 and part of

00:41:23.200 my economic

00:41:24.340 decision was

00:41:25.960 informed by my

00:41:27.220 co-worker, who

00:41:28.640 I often sat

00:41:29.740 right next to,

00:41:30.980 whose job it

00:41:31.720 was to study

00:41:32.640 all the health

00:41:34.120 studies of the

00:41:36.000 cell phones.

00:41:37.740 So that was

00:41:38.200 the prior to

00:41:39.780 5G technology

00:41:40.920 that was probably

00:41:41.760 a 3G kind of

00:41:42.720 a technology.

00:41:44.080 And we

00:41:45.000 studied it

00:41:45.700 because that's

00:41:47.020 part of the

00:41:47.800 economics.

00:41:48.620 I wasn't going

00:41:49.360 to give management

00:41:50.100 an economic

00:41:51.040 analysis that

00:41:52.320 says, looks

00:41:53.360 like we'll make

00:41:53.980 a billion dollars

00:41:54.720 on this and

00:41:55.860 ignore the fact

00:41:56.660 that it might

00:41:57.140 kill people. 0.90

00:41:58.640 I'm not going

00:41:59.400 to leave that

00:41:59.840 out.

00:42:00.680 That's pretty

00:42:01.500 important to the

00:42:02.320 economics of a

00:42:03.260 project.

00:42:04.060 If you leave

00:42:04.780 out the part

00:42:05.300 where it kills

00:42:05.960 100 million

00:42:06.580 people, I

00:42:07.720 don't think

00:42:08.100 you've done

00:42:08.440 your work

00:42:08.920 right.

00:42:10.000 So this

00:42:10.900 person was

00:42:11.480 arguing with

00:42:12.440 me that a

00:42:13.080 phone company

00:42:13.720 would ignore

00:42:14.580 this part of

00:42:16.260 the economic

00:42:16.880 impact, the

00:42:18.500 health part,

00:42:19.380 which also has

00:42:20.000 an economic

00:42:20.500 impact, and

00:42:21.660 she was

00:42:21.900 talking to

00:42:22.360 somebody who

00:42:22.920 literally was

00:42:23.480 the guy who

00:42:23.880 did it.

00:42:24.980 I actually

00:42:25.560 worked at a

00:42:26.100 phone company.

00:42:27.100 I actually

00:42:27.640 did those

00:42:28.120 economics.

00:42:29.020 And I sat

00:42:29.600 next to the

00:42:30.080 guy who

00:42:30.840 did look in

00:42:31.760 detail at

00:42:32.900 the health

00:42:33.360 studies and

00:42:35.060 then summarized

00:42:35.840 them for

00:42:36.160 management so

00:42:36.760 management was

00:42:37.440 comfortable that

00:42:38.720 it wouldn't be

00:42:39.140 killing people. 0.87

00:42:40.340 Now, years

00:42:40.920 have passed.

00:42:42.420 Has anybody

00:42:42.960 died from

00:42:43.520 their cell

00:42:43.880 phone?

00:42:45.180 Can we say

00:42:46.120 that my

00:42:47.040 economic

00:42:47.560 analysis was

00:42:49.680 accurate that

00:42:50.400 I didn't

00:42:50.700 need to

00:42:51.020 include it?

00:42:51.700 Can we

00:42:52.020 say that

00:42:52.360 my co-worker

00:42:52.960 who studied

00:42:53.480 it got it

00:42:54.040 right?

00:42:55.260 Now, if

00:42:55.920 you're telling

00:42:56.280 me that

00:42:56.800 Apple,

00:42:59.060 Apple, I

00:43:00.260 mean, think

00:43:00.580 about this.

00:43:01.360 You're telling

00:43:01.700 me that Apple

00:43:02.440 is going to

00:43:03.440 bet a trillion

00:43:04.140 dollars, because

00:43:05.440 it'll be

00:43:05.820 something like

00:43:06.400 that, you

00:43:07.000 know, eventually.

00:43:08.240 You tell me

00:43:08.820 Apple is going

00:43:09.360 to bet a

00:43:09.840 trillion dollars

00:43:10.760 on a business

00:43:11.440 plan without

00:43:12.900 looking at the

00:43:13.640 most obvious,

00:43:14.540 biggest thing

00:43:15.140 thing that

00:43:15.280 you should

00:43:15.520 look at.

00:43:18.240 I think

00:43:18.880 they looked

00:43:19.240 at it.

00:43:19.960 Now, you

00:43:20.840 can make

00:43:21.320 the argument

00:43:21.820 that whoever

00:43:24.280 has looked at

00:43:24.920 it has

00:43:25.280 looked at

00:43:25.740 the wrong

00:43:26.160 stuff.

00:43:27.340 You can

00:43:27.940 make the

00:43:28.300 argument that

00:43:28.880 the studies

00:43:29.500 weren't good

00:43:30.580 enough.

00:43:31.260 There are

00:43:31.500 lots of

00:43:31.800 things you

00:43:32.140 could argue

00:43:32.540 that I

00:43:32.880 wouldn't argue

00:43:33.560 back.

00:43:34.240 There are

00:43:34.460 plenty of

00:43:34.900 bad studies.

00:43:36.080 But here's

00:43:36.580 what I will

00:43:37.200 not allow

00:43:38.380 anybody to

00:43:39.100 tell me,

00:43:41.040 without

00:43:41.640 pushing back.

00:43:42.900 Don't tell

00:43:43.440 me they

00:43:43.720 haven't looked

00:43:44.220 into it.

00:43:45.500 Are you

00:43:46.160 kidding?

00:43:46.960 Don't tell

00:43:47.660 me that they

00:43:48.200 haven't looked

00:43:48.980 into it.

00:43:50.180 And if any

00:43:50.700 of those

00:43:51.060 things were

00:43:51.520 credible,

00:43:52.340 from the

00:43:52.980 brain cancer

00:43:53.720 to gives

00:43:54.560 you a 0.57

00:43:54.800 coronavirus or

00:43:55.680 makes it

00:43:56.100 worse to

00:43:56.940 stunts your

00:43:58.100 growth, if

00:43:59.020 any of that

00:43:59.800 was backed

00:44:00.240 by science,

00:44:02.780 companies like

00:44:03.940 Apple are not

00:44:04.540 going to wade

00:44:04.940 into it with

00:44:06.060 that kind of

00:44:06.880 a risk.

00:44:07.260 That is a

00:44:08.380 company-destroying

00:44:09.480 risk.

00:44:10.820 You just

00:44:11.220 don't take

00:44:11.580 that risk.

00:44:12.360 It's just

00:44:12.700 not a thing.

00:44:13.200 But that's

00:44:15.240 different from

00:44:15.980 saying, let

00:44:16.680 me be very

00:44:17.100 clear, I'm

00:44:18.360 not a doctor.

00:44:19.720 I don't know

00:44:20.280 what causes

00:44:20.820 risk and

00:44:21.340 what doesn't.

00:44:22.080 But I'm

00:44:22.440 telling you,

00:44:22.880 they looked

00:44:23.280 into it.

00:44:24.120 That's all

00:44:24.500 I'm going

00:44:24.740 to tell you.

00:44:26.960 There's some

00:44:27.560 evidence based

00:44:28.620 on, we don't

00:44:29.740 have much

00:44:30.160 information on

00:44:30.860 it yet, comes

00:44:31.800 from a tweet

00:44:33.120 from somebody

00:44:33.740 who seems to

00:44:34.240 know a lot

00:44:34.580 of stuff,

00:44:35.660 that the

00:44:36.360 Houston

00:44:37.140 consulate that

00:44:38.520 was closed,

00:44:39.360 the Chinese

00:44:39.900 consulate that

00:44:40.700 had evidence

00:44:43.360 apparently of

00:44:44.380 spying on

00:44:45.480 American

00:44:45.780 companies and

00:44:46.620 intellectual property

00:44:47.620 theft and all

00:44:48.300 that.

00:44:49.060 Apparently there's

00:44:49.860 some information

00:44:50.500 we haven't seen

00:44:51.200 yet that would

00:44:52.540 suggest that

00:44:53.300 China is backing 0.98

00:44:54.160 Black Lives

00:44:54.820 Matter.

00:44:56.940 Now, I ask

00:44:59.380 you, does that

00:45:00.100 sound likely?

00:45:01.740 Does it seem

00:45:02.340 likely or unlikely

00:45:03.680 to you that

00:45:04.920 China might have 0.99

00:45:06.020 at least tried,

00:45:06.900 I don't know how

00:45:07.400 successful they were,

00:45:08.280 but at least

00:45:09.000 tried to

00:45:10.040 encourage Black

00:45:10.900 Lives Matter

00:45:11.440 to do a little

00:45:12.000 more protesting?

00:45:14.000 Because here's

00:45:15.240 the calculation

00:45:15.960 that you should

00:45:16.520 look at when

00:45:17.260 trying to decide

00:45:18.060 if that's true.

00:45:19.440 Number one,

00:45:20.200 would they think

00:45:20.920 of it?

00:45:21.720 Of course.

00:45:23.060 Of course.

00:45:23.580 So you don't

00:45:23.980 have to wonder,

00:45:25.340 hey, did China

00:45:25.860 have that idea?

00:45:27.360 Had they

00:45:27.740 considered it?

00:45:28.620 Did anybody

00:45:29.200 suggest, hey,

00:45:31.000 maybe you should

00:45:31.580 back the

00:45:32.300 protesters who

00:45:34.020 are making the

00:45:35.240 United States

00:45:35.740 look bad?

00:45:36.300 Of course

00:45:37.640 they thought

00:45:38.080 of it.

00:45:38.900 Because if

00:45:39.840 the situation

00:45:40.580 were reversed,

00:45:41.980 we would have

00:45:42.540 thought of it.

00:45:43.560 I mean, I'm

00:45:43.960 sure we've

00:45:44.480 backed dissidents

00:45:45.920 and protesters

00:45:47.080 in other

00:45:47.520 countries.

00:45:47.960 That's pretty

00:45:48.260 basic.

00:45:49.180 The second

00:45:49.860 thing you

00:45:50.220 should ask

00:45:50.540 for is,

00:45:51.720 what would

00:45:52.180 be the

00:45:52.660 penalty for

00:45:54.000 getting caught?

00:45:55.360 And we

00:45:55.880 already know

00:45:56.260 the penalty

00:45:56.660 for getting

00:45:57.120 caught.

00:45:57.940 It's nothing.

00:45:59.140 It's nothing.

00:46:00.160 This consulate

00:46:00.980 closed, but

00:46:02.520 they have

00:46:02.800 other consulates.

00:46:03.620 The penalty

00:46:07.060 is basically

00:46:07.760 nothing.

00:46:08.720 One consulate 0.93

00:46:09.560 got closed.

00:46:12.140 It's not as

00:46:12.900 if they don't

00:46:13.260 have computers

00:46:14.100 and hackers

00:46:14.840 and thieves

00:46:15.620 and other

00:46:16.420 consulates.

00:46:17.120 I don't know

00:46:17.460 how much

00:46:18.380 difference does

00:46:19.020 it make if

00:46:19.500 you live in

00:46:20.320 Houston versus

00:46:21.180 you've got a

00:46:22.240 consulate somewhere

00:46:22.960 else.

00:46:23.460 So I don't

00:46:23.920 think there was

00:46:24.320 any risk.

00:46:25.880 It just costs

00:46:26.800 them a little

00:46:27.120 money, right?

00:46:27.860 They've got to

00:46:28.280 remove a

00:46:29.080 consulate.

00:46:29.460 But it's

00:46:31.940 not like

00:46:32.240 anybody died.

00:46:33.260 It's not

00:46:33.500 like we

00:46:34.100 completely

00:46:35.740 decoupled

00:46:36.380 over this.

00:46:37.220 It didn't

00:46:37.500 tell us

00:46:37.840 anything we

00:46:38.280 didn't already

00:46:38.740 know.

00:46:39.900 No risk.

00:46:41.560 So if

00:46:42.040 there's no

00:46:42.400 risk, but

00:46:42.920 there's a

00:46:43.240 potential big

00:46:43.960 reward, and

00:46:45.300 there could

00:46:45.860 be if they're

00:46:46.520 destabilizing the

00:46:47.400 United States,

00:46:48.600 of course it's

00:46:49.580 happening.

00:46:50.780 In the

00:46:51.040 situation where

00:46:52.240 they think of

00:46:53.100 it, there are

00:46:54.300 lots of people

00:46:54.940 involved.

00:46:56.060 In China, 0.94

00:46:57.100 there's lots

00:46:57.480 of people

00:46:57.780 involved, and

00:46:59.160 there's a

00:47:00.720 big payoff

00:47:01.360 and a small

00:47:02.680 risk.

00:47:03.480 It'll happen

00:47:03.980 every time.

00:47:05.540 Every time it's

00:47:06.480 going to happen.

00:47:07.720 I mean,

00:47:07.980 mischief will

00:47:08.540 happen under

00:47:09.100 those conditions.

00:47:14.140 So CNN

00:47:16.440 continues to

00:47:17.360 be funny in

00:47:18.940 trying to be

00:47:19.560 serious.

00:47:20.180 So Caitlin

00:47:20.540 Collins, who's

00:47:22.560 one of their

00:47:23.020 local anti-Trump

00:47:24.300 voices, she

00:47:26.720 was mocking

00:47:27.240 him in a

00:47:27.740 written article,

00:47:28.440 I think it

00:47:28.760 was from a

00:47:29.860 video piece,

00:47:31.060 because he

00:47:31.820 decided to

00:47:32.380 cancel the

00:47:32.860 Republican

00:47:33.280 National

00:47:33.780 Convention,

00:47:35.260 which of

00:47:35.680 course she

00:47:36.160 would agree

00:47:36.500 with, because

00:47:37.780 CNN is sort

00:47:38.920 of anti-large

00:47:40.540 gatherings unless

00:47:41.480 they're protests.

00:47:43.340 And then she

00:47:43.780 says that he

00:47:45.600 would cancel

00:47:46.080 his convention

00:47:46.780 despite pushing

00:47:48.260 for schools to

00:47:49.240 reopen.

00:47:50.300 Now the

00:47:50.760 implication is

00:47:52.080 that that would

00:47:52.660 be inconsistent.

00:47:53.560 Why would

00:47:55.240 the president

00:47:56.860 not think it

00:47:58.580 was safe to

00:47:59.160 have a

00:47:59.460 convention if

00:48:00.900 he does think

00:48:01.700 it's safe to

00:48:02.340 send kids to 0.89

00:48:03.180 school?

00:48:04.220 Is that a

00:48:05.060 fair comparison?

00:48:06.660 You know, I

00:48:07.280 complain all the

00:48:07.980 time that people

00:48:08.660 who come up

00:48:11.100 through a

00:48:11.520 journalism or

00:48:12.520 some specific

00:48:14.340 profession, if

00:48:16.540 they don't have a

00:48:17.140 broad understanding

00:48:18.120 of how to make

00:48:18.640 decisions and how

00:48:19.540 to compare things

00:48:20.400 the way an

00:48:21.280 economist or an

00:48:22.060 engineer or

00:48:22.660 scientist would,

00:48:23.960 that they say

00:48:24.620 consistently dumb

00:48:25.760 things but don't

00:48:26.640 know it.

00:48:27.800 And I don't

00:48:28.240 think anything

00:48:29.000 could be dumber

00:48:29.740 than saying I

00:48:31.960 don't understand

00:48:32.620 the consistency

00:48:33.480 if the president

00:48:34.920 thinks that a

00:48:35.720 bunch of older

00:48:36.680 adults packed

00:48:37.660 into a room is

00:48:39.200 dangerous, why

00:48:40.700 doesn't he think

00:48:41.420 that the group

00:48:42.000 who basically

00:48:42.620 doesn't get

00:48:43.480 coronavirus, why

00:48:45.460 wouldn't he

00:48:46.100 think they're

00:48:46.500 dangerous?

00:48:47.300 They couldn't

00:48:47.860 be more

00:48:48.220 different situations.

00:48:49.140 They couldn't

00:48:50.400 be more

00:48:50.780 different.

00:48:51.700 Now, is it

00:48:52.320 true that opening

00:48:52.940 schools will

00:48:53.680 also cause

00:48:54.560 spread of the

00:48:56.160 coronavirus?

00:48:56.780 Yes.

00:48:57.360 Yes, everybody

00:48:57.880 knows that.

00:48:58.780 The president

00:48:59.320 knows that.

00:49:00.420 Nobody's denying

00:49:01.320 it.

00:49:02.000 It's just that we

00:49:02.720 think that's a

00:49:03.320 level that's

00:49:04.360 controllable if

00:49:06.840 you're comparing

00:49:07.960 it to the

00:49:08.600 presumed benefits

00:49:10.140 of getting kids

00:49:11.160 back to school,

00:49:12.300 that there is a

00:49:13.280 risk, but it's

00:49:14.420 one that the

00:49:14.980 president decides

00:49:15.920 is worth it.

00:49:17.200 I don't know

00:49:17.720 how CNN

00:49:18.340 can pretend

00:49:20.280 that they

00:49:21.140 can't see

00:49:21.720 the difference

00:49:22.300 there, and

00:49:22.720 they're looking

00:49:23.260 for these

00:49:23.640 little gotchas.

00:49:29.320 Five Seattle

00:49:30.340 news organizations

00:49:31.980 were ordered

00:49:32.580 by a judge

00:49:33.440 to turn over

00:49:35.160 their video and

00:49:35.960 photos from

00:49:36.600 protests.

00:49:37.840 So law

00:49:38.400 enforcement wanted

00:49:39.280 to get a hold

00:49:39.880 of all the

00:49:40.420 video and

00:49:41.180 pictures of

00:49:41.680 protests so

00:49:42.280 they could find

00:49:42.760 out who to

00:49:43.380 arrest, etc.

00:49:44.660 News organizations

00:49:45.840 resisted, and

00:49:47.740 now the

00:49:48.320 King County

00:49:49.300 Superior Court

00:49:50.080 said that they

00:49:50.880 have to give

00:49:51.400 it up.

00:49:52.700 Interesting.

00:49:53.880 So all of the

00:49:55.040 news organizations

00:49:56.140 just became

00:49:58.100 weaponized by the

00:49:59.720 police.

00:50:01.260 Will that change?

00:50:02.680 I don't know.

00:50:03.900 So can the

00:50:05.800 news organizations

00:50:06.760 continue to send

00:50:08.360 news crews who

00:50:09.780 will take pictures

00:50:10.520 and video,

00:50:11.580 knowing that those

00:50:12.400 pictures and video

00:50:13.260 will go directly

00:50:14.200 to the police,

00:50:14.920 police, and

00:50:15.700 then they will

00:50:16.340 be, the news

00:50:17.100 organizations,

00:50:18.260 will be part of

00:50:19.300 what's disbanding

00:50:20.580 Black Lives

00:50:21.160 Matter.

00:50:22.620 Very ticklish

00:50:23.800 position to be

00:50:24.600 in, wouldn't

00:50:25.520 you say?

00:50:26.600 I saw somebody

00:50:27.340 asking me about

00:50:28.320 what's his name,

00:50:30.980 Portnoy, and

00:50:32.020 Barstool Sports.

00:50:35.480 He did an

00:50:35.960 interview with

00:50:36.580 President Trump.

00:50:39.000 People are

00:50:39.700 saying, and I

00:50:40.520 would agree with

00:50:41.000 him, I like to

00:50:41.900 use that Trump

00:50:43.280 phrase.

00:50:43.920 People are

00:50:44.320 saying that

00:50:45.420 that's the best

00:50:46.460 interview with

00:50:47.300 the president

00:50:47.800 that they've

00:50:48.560 ever seen, and

00:50:50.080 I would say I

00:50:50.940 would agree.

00:50:52.020 In terms of

00:50:53.520 entertainment, and

00:50:55.220 in terms of

00:50:56.060 humanizing the

00:50:57.560 president, and

00:50:58.860 just having fun

00:50:59.740 with it, probably

00:51:01.020 the best one.

00:51:02.440 I would say it's

00:51:04.220 the best interview

00:51:05.200 with the president

00:51:05.700 I've seen.

00:51:06.600 Now, the

00:51:07.720 president was

00:51:08.440 very good at

00:51:09.320 avoiding the

00:51:11.760 questions.

00:51:13.280 So, it was

00:51:14.040 this weird

00:51:14.480 situation.

00:51:15.520 Yeah, Dave

00:51:16.020 Portnoy.

00:51:18.580 It was this

00:51:19.360 weird situation

00:51:20.120 where Dave

00:51:21.940 would ask a

00:51:22.460 question such

00:51:23.180 as, do you

00:51:24.360 always use the

00:51:24.940 power handshake

00:51:25.920 with world

00:51:27.080 leaders?

00:51:28.360 Wouldn't you

00:51:28.820 like to know

00:51:29.280 the answer to

00:51:29.740 that question?

00:51:31.140 It was like he

00:51:32.100 asked the question

00:51:32.800 that I've thought

00:51:33.380 about for so

00:51:34.060 long, and

00:51:34.880 nobody's ever

00:51:35.400 asked it.

00:51:36.340 Now, of course,

00:51:36.820 the president

00:51:37.220 completely ignored

00:51:38.600 the question and

00:51:39.420 just talked about

00:51:40.120 handshakes and

00:51:41.020 coronavirus and

00:51:42.460 how world

00:51:44.260 leaders love

00:51:44.920 him and

00:51:45.200 stuff, which

00:51:45.680 was perfectly

00:51:47.300 executed media

00:51:49.540 spin, if you

00:51:50.940 will.

00:51:51.320 In other words,

00:51:51.940 the president

00:51:52.340 is just really

00:51:53.080 good at

00:51:54.360 turning the

00:51:54.860 question into

00:51:55.500 whatever he

00:51:56.000 wanted the

00:51:56.440 question to

00:51:56.960 be, which

00:51:57.580 is what you

00:51:58.000 actually learn

00:51:58.660 when you take

00:51:59.600 media training.

00:52:00.420 You learn how

00:52:00.960 to do that.

00:52:02.060 It's something

00:52:02.480 the president

00:52:02.940 does great,

00:52:03.800 and most

00:52:04.160 politicians do

00:52:05.340 it well as

00:52:06.600 well.

00:52:06.780 The only

00:52:09.560 thing that

00:52:10.000 bothered me

00:52:10.600 about Dave

00:52:11.960 Portnoy's

00:52:12.900 interview is

00:52:14.800 that it

00:52:15.040 should have

00:52:15.300 been me.

00:52:16.820 When I say

00:52:17.520 it should have

00:52:17.920 been me, it

00:52:18.340 just means I'm

00:52:18.840 jealous.

00:52:20.160 So I'm just

00:52:20.700 jealous, because 0.77

00:52:22.020 if there was

00:52:23.020 anybody who

00:52:23.640 would give an

00:52:24.200 irreverent

00:52:25.100 interview with

00:52:27.260 the president,

00:52:27.920 there would

00:52:28.140 still be

00:52:28.520 watchable.

00:52:30.740 I would be

00:52:31.460 on that list

00:52:32.180 of people that

00:52:33.300 you should

00:52:33.600 watch and

00:52:34.040 interview the

00:52:34.440 president.

00:52:34.760 Now I do

00:52:35.620 have a, informally

00:52:37.480 I did put a

00:52:38.180 request in, but

00:52:39.640 I probably need

00:52:40.220 to formalize

00:52:40.960 that, because

00:52:41.840 I think that

00:52:42.300 between now

00:52:42.980 and November,

00:52:44.420 an interview

00:52:45.100 with me, with

00:52:45.940 President Trump,

00:52:46.860 I think would

00:52:47.620 be useful for

00:52:48.600 the country.

00:52:49.740 I wouldn't be

00:52:50.600 just entertaining,

00:52:51.960 I'd want it to

00:52:52.640 be useful, so I

00:52:54.500 think I could

00:52:55.220 frame things in

00:52:56.280 a way that you

00:52:56.780 would quite enjoy

00:52:57.860 it.

00:52:58.640 But yes, I'll

00:52:59.960 have to confess,

00:53:01.000 there are very

00:53:01.700 few things that

00:53:02.540 make me jealous,

00:53:04.180 because it's

00:53:04.580 just not an

00:53:06.020 emotion I

00:53:06.520 spend any

00:53:07.120 time with,

00:53:08.720 and that's

00:53:09.640 why this caught

00:53:10.220 me off guard,

00:53:10.940 and it's why

00:53:11.300 I'm mentioning

00:53:12.740 it.

00:53:13.380 That was the

00:53:13.920 first time I

00:53:15.660 genuinely felt

00:53:16.780 jealous.

00:53:18.260 I mean, it's

00:53:18.660 a small thing,

00:53:19.460 right?

00:53:19.780 It has no real

00:53:20.680 impact in my

00:53:21.320 life, but it

00:53:22.740 was that good.

00:53:24.020 So you want

00:53:24.780 to be so good

00:53:25.560 at your job,

00:53:26.660 as Dave

00:53:27.320 Portnoy is,

00:53:28.300 you want to

00:53:28.640 be so good

00:53:29.300 that somebody

00:53:29.800 else who does

00:53:30.360 that job goes,

00:53:31.620 oh shit,

00:53:33.220 damn it,

00:53:33.600 damn it,

00:53:34.660 that should

00:53:34.980 have been

00:53:35.200 me.

00:53:35.540 So, A plus.

00:53:38.360 Watch it if

00:53:38.980 you haven't

00:53:39.240 seen it.

00:53:42.500 I cheekily am

00:53:44.140 continuing to

00:53:44.980 say that,

00:53:46.520 oh, by the

00:53:47.040 way, one more

00:53:48.060 thing about the

00:53:48.720 fine people

00:53:49.340 hoax.

00:53:50.020 In the past,

00:53:51.000 when I've

00:53:51.360 tweeted that the

00:53:52.040 fine people

00:53:52.520 hoax is a

00:53:53.040 hoax, my

00:53:53.640 comment feed

00:53:54.840 would just

00:53:55.240 fill with

00:53:55.860 people who

00:53:56.300 would say,

00:53:56.720 no it

00:53:56.960 isn't, it's

00:53:57.840 totally true,

00:53:58.540 I heard it

00:53:58.880 myself.

00:54:00.020 Today, I

00:54:00.880 tweeted that

00:54:01.820 and got

00:54:02.600 almost no

00:54:04.480 people who

00:54:05.260 thought it

00:54:05.640 was true.

00:54:06.900 Now, I

00:54:07.220 don't know if

00:54:07.920 that's because

00:54:08.460 all of the

00:54:09.340 Democrats now

00:54:11.080 know it

00:54:11.440 wasn't true,

00:54:12.380 or if they

00:54:13.820 gave up,

00:54:15.960 just suddenly

00:54:16.580 they stopped

00:54:17.280 refuting that

00:54:18.540 point, that

00:54:19.000 doesn't make

00:54:19.400 sense.

00:54:20.000 I feel like

00:54:20.580 maybe we

00:54:21.020 made a dent

00:54:21.660 collectively,

00:54:23.700 because at

00:54:24.440 least my

00:54:24.920 critics have

00:54:25.460 backed off and

00:54:26.200 just let it

00:54:27.640 go, that

00:54:28.520 I'm stating

00:54:29.240 it as a

00:54:30.360 fact that

00:54:30.800 it's a

00:54:31.080 hoax, and

00:54:31.500 they're letting

00:54:32.100 it go now,

00:54:32.680 which I

00:54:33.500 think is

00:54:34.000 capitulation,

00:54:35.360 but I might

00:54:35.820 be a little

00:54:36.260 optimistic on

00:54:37.280 that, at

00:54:38.140 least for

00:54:38.480 the commenters,

00:54:40.080 not for

00:54:40.400 the, I

00:54:41.280 think Biden

00:54:41.720 still says

00:54:42.280 it.

00:54:42.840 All right,

00:54:43.060 my last

00:54:43.440 point here,

00:54:44.480 I've said

00:54:45.100 this before,

00:54:45.720 but you

00:54:45.960 cannot, I

00:54:48.680 don't think

00:54:49.040 you could

00:54:49.380 ignore the

00:54:50.740 effect that

00:54:51.260 fiction has

00:54:52.360 on how we

00:54:53.080 look at the

00:54:53.760 real world,

00:54:54.560 because everything

00:54:56.200 you look at

00:54:56.980 needs to

00:54:57.540 fit some

00:54:58.000 model of

00:54:58.840 understanding,

00:55:00.180 and ideally

00:55:01.160 you want the

00:55:01.960 new information

00:55:02.620 to fit some

00:55:03.340 existing model

00:55:04.500 in your head,

00:55:05.520 and you just

00:55:05.920 populate that

00:55:06.640 existing model,

00:55:07.500 it's called

00:55:07.840 confirmation bias,

00:55:09.420 and you see

00:55:11.320 it in everything,

00:55:11.940 right?

00:55:12.180 You see the

00:55:12.800 left agrees with

00:55:14.140 the left, the

00:55:14.640 right agrees with

00:55:15.240 the right, but

00:55:16.320 there's a

00:55:17.680 statement about

00:55:18.280 human beings

00:55:18.960 that I think

00:55:19.380 you would all

00:55:19.740 agree with,

00:55:20.740 which is it's

00:55:22.160 difficult to do

00:55:23.140 something,

00:55:24.200 anything, until

00:55:25.360 you can first

00:55:26.140 imagine it,

00:55:27.100 so you

00:55:28.040 don't really

00:55:28.500 attempt to

00:55:29.300 do things you

00:55:29.940 can't imagine

00:55:31.220 can work.

00:55:32.620 The Wright

00:55:33.060 brothers invented

00:55:34.920 an airplane,

00:55:36.340 because they

00:55:36.940 could well

00:55:37.440 imagine, you

00:55:38.620 know, they

00:55:39.060 could see it

00:55:39.620 flying, you

00:55:40.580 know, I

00:55:40.880 assume, I

00:55:41.640 assume that

00:55:42.000 they imagined

00:55:43.240 it working,

00:55:44.200 and then they

00:55:45.100 worked on it

00:55:45.620 to work.

00:55:46.580 Now, all the

00:55:47.340 things you

00:55:47.660 imagine don't

00:55:48.280 work, necessarily,

00:55:49.820 when you try to

00:55:50.320 do them, but

00:55:51.280 you're not going

00:55:51.700 to do anything

00:55:52.480 until you can

00:55:53.880 first imagine

00:55:54.740 it's a thing.

00:55:56.560 And that

00:55:57.740 makes me get

00:55:59.900 to my

00:56:00.540 impression, or

00:56:01.400 the filter that

00:56:02.260 I just sort of

00:56:02.920 automatically have

00:56:04.000 on watching the

00:56:05.260 protests.

00:56:06.040 The first filter

00:56:06.980 is, it looks

00:56:08.260 very female-led.

00:56:10.540 And I don't

00:56:11.500 know how many

00:56:12.080 of you are

00:56:12.920 also getting

00:56:13.560 that feeling,

00:56:15.020 but Antifa in

00:56:16.100 particular, and I

00:56:17.040 think Black Lives 0.78

00:56:17.780 Matter as well,

00:56:18.540 but they seem

00:56:19.620 like they are

00:56:20.120 mostly female

00:56:21.120 leaders, or

00:56:22.400 at least the

00:56:22.960 leaders that

00:56:23.620 are the most

00:56:24.080 vocal, or

00:56:25.000 maybe the most

00:56:25.600 effective, most

00:56:27.260 aggressive, seem

00:56:28.420 to be female.

00:56:29.900 So it's like a

00:56:30.760 female-led

00:56:31.520 organization, and

00:56:33.240 the males, at

00:56:34.140 least the Antifa

00:56:34.880 males, not so 1.00

00:56:35.800 much the Black 0.98

00:56:36.580 Lives Matter

00:56:37.100 males, but the 0.99

00:56:38.340 Antifa males

00:56:39.220 seem to fall

00:56:40.960 into a category

00:56:41.880 of not as

00:56:44.160 manly, if we

00:56:45.780 can say that.

00:56:46.400 And again, this

00:56:46.920 isn't an insult.

00:56:48.640 I'm not saying

00:56:49.520 that if you

00:56:50.140 don't have a

00:56:51.520 manly persona,

00:56:52.780 you're worth

00:56:53.400 less or anything.

00:56:54.240 Nothing like

00:56:54.700 that.

00:56:56.080 I'm left

00:56:56.920 to burning.

00:56:57.940 So if you

00:56:58.400 want to be

00:56:58.900 every letter

00:57:00.520 in LGBTQ, I'm

00:57:02.400 cool with that.

00:57:03.180 I'm 100%

00:57:03.900 cool with that.

00:57:04.820 You can be

00:57:05.300 any letter

00:57:05.840 you want.

00:57:06.760 You can be

00:57:07.260 any lifestyle

00:57:07.960 you want, if

00:57:08.600 it doesn't

00:57:08.940 bother me.

00:57:09.780 You can be

00:57:10.640 whatever you

00:57:11.240 want.

00:57:11.700 So there's

00:57:12.060 no criticism

00:57:13.020 implied here.

00:57:14.420 I'm just

00:57:14.840 observing that

00:57:16.260 there's a

00:57:16.700 certain kind

00:57:17.700 of man who

00:57:19.780 is enjoying

00:57:20.600 this Antifa

00:57:21.260 situation.

00:57:23.060 And if I

00:57:24.380 could use

00:57:24.780 the diminutive

00:57:26.060 term beta

00:57:27.060 males, they 1.00

00:57:28.160 kind of fall

00:57:28.640 into that

00:57:29.020 category.

00:57:30.040 Now again,

00:57:30.660 this is not

00:57:31.680 an insult

00:57:32.400 because I

00:57:33.540 think that

00:57:34.040 it's a big

00:57:34.600 world.

00:57:35.660 I'm not

00:57:36.280 saying it's

00:57:36.840 a good thing

00:57:37.640 to be an

00:57:38.000 alpha male or

00:57:39.480 that it's a

00:57:40.020 bad thing to

00:57:40.620 be a beta

00:57:41.020 male.

00:57:41.660 They both

00:57:42.320 exist.

00:57:43.420 It's a

00:57:43.780 preference.

00:57:44.680 It's the way

00:57:45.220 you're born

00:57:45.680 or it's a

00:57:46.360 lifestyle.

00:57:46.920 It doesn't

00:57:47.200 matter.

00:57:47.860 It's all

00:57:48.220 okay with

00:57:48.640 me.

00:57:49.360 If you're

00:57:49.700 not breaking

00:57:50.100 the law,

00:57:51.140 if you're

00:57:51.420 not violating

00:57:52.000 the Constitution,

00:57:53.420 it's just none

00:57:54.000 of my business.

00:57:54.940 Period.

00:57:55.760 Could not

00:57:56.300 care less

00:57:56.900 about your

00:57:57.760 personal lifestyle

00:57:58.620 choices if

00:57:59.360 they don't

00:57:59.640 affect me.

00:58:00.940 So I say

00:58:02.380 that just

00:58:03.080 because my

00:58:03.680 filter is

00:58:04.320 that it

00:58:04.800 looks like

00:58:05.220 Game of

00:58:07.500 Thrones with

00:58:08.260 Daenerys.

00:58:09.620 So you

00:58:09.780 get this

00:58:10.020 strong female 0.98

00:58:10.840 leader, the

00:58:11.940 Queen of

00:58:12.320 Dragons, and

00:58:13.220 she formed

00:58:13.720 an army of

00:58:14.380 literally eunuchs. 1.00

00:58:16.660 So their

00:58:17.060 men had been

00:58:18.420 castrated to

00:58:20.260 make them

00:58:20.680 more docile

00:58:22.100 and obedient

00:58:22.700 soldiers, I

00:58:23.480 guess.

00:58:24.380 I don't know

00:58:24.760 what the

00:58:25.040 theory was

00:58:25.580 there exactly,

00:58:26.840 but I don't

00:58:27.420 know why you'd

00:58:27.820 want castrated 0.98

00:58:28.940 soldiers.

00:58:29.520 It feels

00:58:30.280 like the

00:58:30.640 wrong idea,

00:58:31.900 but it

00:58:33.740 reminded me

00:58:34.420 of that.

00:58:35.160 And it

00:58:35.380 looks like

00:58:35.860 it's the

00:58:36.440 Queen of

00:58:36.780 Dragons and

00:58:37.500 her eunuch 0.94

00:58:37.960 army, but

00:58:38.460 they're

00:58:38.680 reenacting

00:58:39.160 the Joker

00:58:39.720 movie.

00:58:40.640 And I

00:58:41.200 said this

00:58:41.580 before to

00:58:42.240 great pushback,

00:58:43.980 which I

00:58:44.380 enjoy, of

00:58:44.960 course.

00:58:45.500 And the

00:58:45.900 pushback was

00:58:46.660 that if the

00:58:47.240 Joker movie

00:58:47.980 had not been

00:58:48.620 such a

00:58:49.160 universally

00:58:49.820 acclaimed

00:58:51.740 movie and

00:58:52.640 a lot of

00:58:53.300 people saw

00:58:53.780 it, if

00:58:54.500 you hadn't

00:58:55.060 first pictured

00:58:56.060 the Joker

00:58:56.680 movie, would

00:58:58.120 it have been

00:58:58.740 as easy

00:58:59.300 to recreate

00:59:00.460 it?

00:59:01.140 Because that's

00:59:01.580 what the

00:59:01.880 protests and

00:59:02.560 the looting

00:59:02.980 effectively did.

00:59:04.560 It recreated

00:59:05.260 the look and

00:59:05.980 feel of the

00:59:07.120 Joker movie.

00:59:08.200 Is that a

00:59:08.940 coincidence?

00:59:10.060 Is it simply

00:59:10.880 that there are

00:59:11.620 movies and

00:59:13.040 they're in my

00:59:13.500 head, and so I

00:59:14.540 just interpret the

00:59:15.540 world through those

00:59:16.300 movies and that's

00:59:17.060 all it is?

00:59:18.120 Or is there a

00:59:19.840 causal

00:59:20.480 relationship?

00:59:23.240 In other words,

00:59:23.860 if you could only

00:59:24.620 do the things you

00:59:25.440 can imagine,

00:59:26.100 imagine, and

00:59:27.300 what you could

00:59:27.920 imagine was

00:59:28.660 not, you

00:59:30.100 know, everybody's

00:59:31.420 doing well, but

00:59:32.140 what you could

00:59:32.580 imagine was that

00:59:33.660 Joker movie, you're

00:59:35.400 more likely to do

00:59:36.300 the thing you

00:59:36.740 could imagine.

00:59:38.080 So I do think

00:59:40.220 that fiction has a

00:59:41.220 big role in how

00:59:42.780 we're interpreting

00:59:43.440 our reality, but

00:59:44.360 also how we act

00:59:45.780 on it, because you

00:59:46.840 just don't act on

00:59:48.040 things you can't

00:59:48.780 imagine.

00:59:49.120 All right.

00:59:54.240 I'm just looking

00:59:55.220 at your comments.

00:59:58.720 Yeah, you know, I

01:00:00.580 don't think that, I

01:00:03.100 don't think we

01:00:03.640 should make a

01:00:04.280 judgment about

01:00:04.900 what's better or

01:00:05.800 worse when it

01:00:07.360 comes to people's

01:00:08.560 biological situation,

01:00:10.380 but it is fair to

01:00:11.660 say it's different.

01:00:13.380 You know, nobody

01:00:13.900 would argue with

01:00:14.600 the fact that, you

01:00:17.920 know, there are

01:00:18.300 differences among

01:00:19.060 people, but we

01:00:20.660 don't have to put a

01:00:21.320 value judgment on

01:00:22.400 that.

01:00:25.200 Anyone see

01:00:25.960 Zuckerberg's face

01:00:26.980 in Hawaii?

01:00:27.880 Yeah, yeah,

01:00:28.980 Zuckerberg uses a

01:00:30.180 lot of, a lot of

01:00:32.400 sunscreen, but I

01:00:34.380 don't, if you've

01:00:35.620 seen his complexion,

01:00:37.320 you know there's a

01:00:38.000 good reason for

01:00:38.500 that.

01:00:41.320 But where is the

01:00:42.240 imagining from?

01:00:43.740 Well, it's coming

01:00:44.220 from fiction.

01:00:45.380 That's the point.

01:00:47.920 Somebody says,

01:00:48.660 you're reaching on

01:00:49.700 the joker thing,

01:00:51.200 in my opinion.

01:00:52.600 Well, you know,

01:00:54.160 the best opinions

01:00:55.280 are the ones that

01:00:56.200 you say to

01:00:56.940 yourself, and in

01:00:58.120 fact, I try to

01:00:59.120 stay in this space

01:00:59.960 as much as

01:01:00.480 possible.

01:01:01.380 My favorite

01:01:02.120 opinions to

01:01:02.940 present here are

01:01:03.940 the ones where you

01:01:04.660 say to yourself,

01:01:05.940 I'm not so sure

01:01:07.100 that's true.

01:01:08.720 I've got a little

01:01:09.940 skepticism about

01:01:11.400 that.

01:01:12.020 Those are my

01:01:12.560 favorite places to

01:01:13.580 be.

01:01:13.760 I will tell you

01:01:15.320 that based on

01:01:16.040 everything I know

01:01:16.860 from hypnosis,

01:01:18.040 from persuasion,

01:01:19.380 and living a life

01:01:20.560 in which I've done

01:01:21.340 everything from

01:01:22.000 marketing to

01:01:22.820 selling, that the

01:01:24.440 models that you

01:01:25.900 have in your head

01:01:26.660 of what the world

01:01:27.760 can look like are

01:01:28.860 very persuasive.

01:01:30.300 Now, if you have

01:01:31.300 less experience in

01:01:32.760 hypnosis and

01:01:33.600 persuasion than I

01:01:35.140 do, and your

01:01:36.460 opinion is different

01:01:37.340 from mine about

01:01:38.220 this topic, you

01:01:39.740 should ask

01:01:40.180 yourself, would

01:01:41.620 your opinion

01:01:42.220 change if you

01:01:43.180 knew as much

01:01:43.780 as I did about

01:01:44.960 this specific

01:01:45.720 topic?

01:01:46.780 And that's

01:01:47.480 where I want

01:01:47.960 you to be.

01:01:48.760 I want you to

01:01:49.360 be thinking,

01:01:50.440 maybe, maybe I

01:01:51.720 should look into

01:01:52.240 that.

01:01:53.120 Maybe that's a

01:01:53.720 thing, or maybe

01:01:54.420 I'll look for it

01:01:55.200 in the future.

01:01:56.380 Look for it in

01:01:57.020 the future, and

01:01:57.780 you might be

01:01:58.500 surprised.

01:01:59.380 But you don't

01:01:59.900 have to believe

01:02:00.400 everything I say.

01:02:01.980 I wouldn't.

01:02:03.100 Talk to you

01:02:03.500 later.
