Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1075 Scott Adams： So Much News to Talk About! This Will be the Best Periscope EVER!

00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody. Come on in. Come on in. This will be the best coffee with Scott Adams ever.

00:00:23.960 And I'm talking about, since the beginning of time, 15 billion years since the start of the universe, and this will be the best one. That's right.

00:00:36.300 Well, some of you know that I had surgery yesterday, and while I would not normally talk about my health conditions on Periscope,

00:00:45.800 I feel I need to because I've been sharing this with you, and you all had to suffer through my sniffling and my complaining, and I thank you for it.

00:00:56.020 So number one, thank you. Thank you for putting up with my blowing my nose on camera pretty much every time.

00:01:03.480 Thank you for the nasal sounds that you put up with. I really appreciate it. I mean that.

00:01:11.160 Secondly, yesterday was one of the best frickin' days of my whole life, I gotta say.

00:01:17.560 Which sounds weird, right? Because I was literally in surgery.

00:01:22.300 So yesterday, around noon or so, got pulled into surgery for these polyps I have in my sinus,

00:01:28.740 which if you imagine your sinuses are like caves, the polyps would be like the stalactites, except more bulbous.

00:01:37.080 And if you have enough of them, and I guess they're just genetic, some people get them, some people don't,

00:01:41.000 it blocks up your sinuses, you lose your taste, you can lose your hearing temporarily,

00:01:49.140 you know, and you become stuffed up and you can't breathe and all that.

00:01:52.840 So anyway, I had them taken care of. I got in my head and snipped them out, bandaged it up.

00:02:02.460 I thought that when I woke up, because, you know, I was under general anesthesia,

00:02:08.420 I thought when I woke up I wouldn't be able to breathe through my nose,

00:02:11.620 because it'd be all packed with, you know, gauze and stuff up in my sinuses.

00:02:15.380 But the doctor was very impressed with how bad I was, meaning that there were so many polyps in my sinuses,

00:02:25.800 it was some kind of a world record, I guess, according to me,

00:02:29.720 that when he removed them, even adding in the bandages and even accounting for the swelling,

00:02:37.120 I can breathe better than I can ever breathe in my life.

00:02:41.000 Breathing through my nose the day after surgery.

00:02:43.760 So that was exciting.

00:02:47.460 But I got to tell you what was so much, what was great about the whole day.

00:02:52.940 Number one, I've been socially isolating for forever, right?

00:02:57.460 And I had to do two serious weeks of really bad social isolation,

00:03:03.320 meaning as a newlywed, I did not even touch my bride for two weeks.

00:03:10.840 So I was a little bit starved for human contact of any kind.

00:03:17.880 And I'm being completely serious.

00:03:19.800 So being fussed over by doctors and nurses, and, you know, it's a whole team coming in and out,

00:03:25.080 and they're adjusting things, and they're poking you with things.

00:03:28.200 And even though every single thing they did hurt, you know, like even when they put the tape on,

00:03:35.180 they tape it so it hurts, and they put the needle in, and it hurts a little bit.

00:03:39.000 Well, almost everything they did hurt a little bit.

00:03:42.080 But I was so excited to be around human beings within touching distance.

00:03:49.860 And, of course, they were all dressed like beekeepers, right?

00:03:51.880 I mean, they had the full protective gear on.

00:03:54.840 There's not one of those people I would recognize if I saw them today.

00:03:58.660 If I saw them today, I only saw their eyes the whole time.

00:04:02.180 But they were very nice, very professional.

00:04:04.060 So, anyway, then they fill you up with fentanyl, and they wheel you in.

00:04:10.920 I, of course, don't remember any of that.

00:04:13.660 I woke up, not knowing who I was or where I was, but I could breathe.

00:04:20.400 And if this works, meaning that if I recover and it's still as good as it is now,

00:04:26.040 this is such a life-changing event for me

00:04:31.120 because I've actually never been able to breathe through my nose.

00:04:34.460 Not as a child, not at any time.

00:04:36.660 I had a deviated septum.

00:04:37.980 I fixed that.

00:04:38.700 It didn't help.

00:04:39.320 I had allergies.

00:04:40.580 I thought that was a problem.

00:04:42.040 Couldn't get those under control.

00:04:44.360 But this, this actually just bulldozed the highway, so we should work.

00:04:51.360 Now, it's not permanent, so I might have to do it again someday in 10 years or something.

00:04:54.900 But at the moment, I could not be happier.

00:04:57.380 I got home, and, you know, Christina had waited for me the entire time,

00:05:02.640 and she was taking care of me when I got home because you can't do too much.

00:05:08.220 You don't want to drive or do anything that would include lifting or thinking.

00:05:14.340 So then Christina fusses over me in a good way, you know, taking care of me.

00:05:20.220 And I just had a really good day.

00:05:26.020 And the whole time that I was in the hospital, it was such a newsy day.

00:05:31.860 There was so much news, and I had, surgery was delayed a while.

00:05:36.480 So I was just on my phone, you know, tweeting and looking at the news

00:05:40.080 and doing exactly what I would have done,

00:05:41.680 except when it was in a really comfortable, like, bed with this warm blanket on

00:05:47.240 and people being nice to me.

00:05:49.600 And I was like, this is way better than being home.

00:05:51.780 This is way better than social isolation.

00:05:54.880 And so I just had a terrific day.

00:05:57.480 It was so good that last night,

00:06:01.400 Christina was making sure that I, you know,

00:06:03.320 was still cognizant enough to take the right meds at the right time.

00:06:08.780 And she was suggesting that I take the, was it the Tylenol,

00:06:13.400 whatever it is, the one with codeine, that knocks you out.

00:06:17.000 She said, well, take that one around bedtime.

00:06:19.440 That'll just knock you right out.

00:06:20.620 20 minutes, you'll be gone.

00:06:22.960 So I'm like, perfect.

00:06:24.640 20 minutes, I'm going to be sound asleep.

00:06:27.600 Well, I'm still waiting.

00:06:28.980 So I've been up for 24 hours straight.

00:06:31.160 I haven't even been close to sleep

00:06:32.740 because I'm just not even a little bit tired.

00:06:36.020 Now, I think part of it is because I slept all afternoon on the,

00:06:39.640 during surgery.

00:06:42.020 And I've never heard of this.

00:06:43.960 I don't know.

00:06:44.360 Do you actually get a good rest when you're,

00:06:47.220 when you're, you're in surgery?

00:06:50.460 I don't know.

00:06:51.600 But anyway, I don't have any pain today.

00:06:54.360 I can breathe for the first time in my life.

00:06:57.780 I don't have my sense of smell back.

00:07:00.000 I understand that might come around slowly,

00:07:02.040 but I could not be happier today.

00:07:04.900 And I just wanted to share it with you.

00:07:06.300 And also, thank you for putting up with it.

00:07:09.180 I think my voice will change.

00:07:11.360 I don't know how.

00:07:12.760 Maybe, maybe you hear it already.

00:07:14.580 All right, let's talk about some other things.

00:07:15.860 Enough about me.

00:07:17.240 There's so much news.

00:07:18.720 Look at this.

00:07:19.780 Look at that.

00:07:21.180 So much news.

00:07:24.320 Let me read you some tweets that I thought were extra clever.

00:07:28.260 This one from a Twitter user, Cambry,

00:07:32.060 at at K-A-M-V-T-V.

00:07:36.080 This is one of the most clever tweets I've seen in a long time.

00:07:40.420 I don't know if she got it from somebody.

00:07:42.720 I think she made it up, but it's great.

00:07:44.380 And it goes like this.

00:07:45.600 I remember when the news used to tell us what happened,

00:07:48.760 and we had to decide what to think about it.

00:07:51.480 Now the news tells us how to think about something,

00:07:54.060 and then we have to decide if it happened.

00:07:58.040 That's true, isn't it?

00:07:59.580 It used to be they tell you the facts,

00:08:01.300 and then you decide what you thought about it.

00:08:03.280 Now they tell you what to think,

00:08:05.120 and you're not sure if those facts actually happened.

00:08:08.500 This is a really clever tweet.

00:08:11.320 So kudos to Cambry.

00:08:16.460 I tweeted yesterday that Trump had one of the best tweets

00:08:20.300 of his entire tweeting life,

00:08:22.180 and I was going to tell you what I liked about it.

00:08:24.460 So here's the tweet from Trump,

00:08:26.000 and then I'll break it down for you.

00:08:28.240 He said,

00:08:28.740 Germany pays Russia billions of dollars a year for energy,

00:08:32.740 and we are supposed to protect Germany from Russia?

00:08:36.040 What's that all about?

00:08:38.180 Also, Germany is very delinquent,

00:08:40.460 and they're 2% feet of NATO.

00:08:42.560 We are therefore moving some troops out of Germany.

00:08:45.920 So the point of the tweet is to announce

00:08:48.200 that he's moving some but not all troops out of Germany.

00:08:51.080 But the first part of the tweet is really good,

00:08:55.800 just in terms of engineering a tweet.

00:08:59.080 And let me tell you why.

00:09:00.400 If you were to try to describe to somebody,

00:09:03.640 in a long form,

00:09:05.320 what the situation is,

00:09:06.960 it would take you a number of sentences,

00:09:09.960 maybe a paragraph or so.

00:09:12.220 Like, why is it that we care

00:09:14.800 that Germany is buying any of its energy from Russia?

00:09:18.340 Because you'd have to understand

00:09:20.100 that that would give them a security susceptibility,

00:09:24.340 because, you know,

00:09:24.900 Russia could just turn off the energy.

00:09:28.160 At the same time that Germany is part of NATO,

00:09:31.100 which is supposed to be protecting

00:09:32.720 all of our countries in NATO against Russia,

00:09:35.760 Germany is making themselves

00:09:38.320 especially vulnerable to Russia.

00:09:42.220 Now, it takes a little while to explain it,

00:09:44.260 because there are several moving parts.

00:09:46.440 So the way Trump does it,

00:09:48.080 and you've seen this technique,

00:09:49.500 I think, from me,

00:09:50.600 from Mike Cernovich,

00:09:52.300 from other people who

00:09:53.400 tend to get a lot of retweets,

00:09:55.700 and he does it with a question.

00:09:59.820 So by putting a question in a tweet,

00:10:02.440 it turbocharges it.

00:10:04.140 You'll see a lot of us do that

00:10:06.000 who know how to do this sort of thing.

00:10:08.700 So let me read it again

00:10:09.880 so you can see how provocative,

00:10:11.740 how cleverly he takes a complicated thing,

00:10:15.860 compacts it into, you know,

00:10:17.580 just the first part of a tweet,

00:10:19.220 because he needed the rest of the tweet

00:10:20.520 to explain what he was up to.

00:10:21.780 So he compacts it into two sentences

00:10:24.620 that are just about as perfect

00:10:26.860 as you could write,

00:10:28.340 these two sentences.

00:10:30.320 First of all, it's direct sentences.

00:10:33.100 All right?

00:10:33.580 Very direct.

00:10:34.560 Look how quickly this sentence

00:10:36.800 tells you what's happening.

00:10:38.960 Oh, did I forget the simultaneous sip?

00:10:41.040 It's coming up after this.

00:10:44.400 Look how directly he gets to it.

00:10:46.580 Germany pays Russia billions.

00:10:48.600 Boom!

00:10:49.780 That is a simple, direct statement.

00:10:52.600 Now you know what you're talking about.

00:10:54.520 Germany pays Russia billions of dollars a year

00:10:56.900 for energy.

00:10:58.680 Perfect.

00:10:59.840 And we're supposed,

00:11:00.620 and he says,

00:11:01.160 and we are supposed to protect Germany from Russia?

00:11:04.640 What's that all about?

00:11:06.020 Now the what's that all about part

00:11:07.740 is the magic of it.

00:11:10.760 So the first part's perfect

00:11:12.220 because it's clean, it's direct, it's simple,

00:11:14.620 which is hard to do.

00:11:15.680 If you try to write a sentence that clean

00:11:18.300 and that simple,

00:11:19.520 a little harder than you think.

00:11:21.560 I'll get to the sip in a moment.

00:11:24.540 But the what's it all about

00:11:26.020 is the magic part

00:11:26.860 because that's the part that invites you

00:11:28.840 to figure it out.

00:11:29.880 Like it's a little bit of a puzzle,

00:11:31.680 but it's not enough of a puzzle

00:11:33.180 that you're not going to be able to figure it out.

00:11:35.160 So you have to spend some time on it.

00:11:37.380 If you want somebody to really remember

00:11:39.460 what you did,

00:11:41.220 you have to make them spend time on it.

00:11:43.100 You can't let them go zoop

00:11:45.120 and on to the next thing.

00:11:46.260 It won't be retained.

00:11:47.820 So by putting it in the form of a question,

00:11:49.620 what's that all about?

00:11:51.040 You actually answer the question.

00:11:53.620 Well, what is that all about?

00:11:54.860 Oh, okay, I'm putting all the pieces together.

00:11:58.960 All right.

00:11:59.760 So that was his tweet.

00:12:00.900 It was quite excellent.

00:12:02.140 But I know you're here for the simultaneous sip

00:12:04.520 and it's coming up.

00:12:05.740 It's coming up now.

00:12:06.960 And all you need is a cup or a mug

00:12:09.060 or a glass of tank or chalice or stein

00:12:10.340 or a canteen jug or a flask

00:12:11.240 or a vessel of any kind.

00:12:14.360 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:12:16.800 I like coffee.

00:12:18.420 And join me now

00:12:19.280 for the dope bean hit of the day.

00:12:22.140 The thing that makes everything better,

00:12:24.880 including the coronavirus,

00:12:27.500 the economy,

00:12:28.340 yeah, racism, everything.

00:12:30.340 Go.

00:12:30.560 I feel my nasal polyps healing

00:12:40.300 even as we sit here.

00:12:43.000 Amazing, really.

00:12:46.200 If you watched Tucker Carlson last night,

00:12:49.960 you know that he,

00:12:51.600 and if you also follow Mike Cernovich on Twitter,

00:12:54.920 you know that Tucker used Mike Cernovich's scoop

00:12:59.040 about a memo that he got a hold of,

00:13:02.080 a Republican memo

00:13:03.060 that has been characterized

00:13:06.100 as Republicans deciding to go easy

00:13:10.260 on the tech companies.

00:13:12.040 Now, I think there's room for interpretation,

00:13:14.480 but that was the essence of the story.

00:13:19.540 And here's the part

00:13:20.440 that bugs the hell out of me.

00:13:23.400 As Mike Cernovich pointed out on Twitter,

00:13:26.680 Tucker uses his scoop,

00:13:28.260 which I didn't see anywhere else.

00:13:30.540 I didn't see anybody else have that scoop

00:13:32.320 except from Mike.

00:13:34.600 And he doesn't mention Mike Cernovich's name

00:13:37.020 on the show

00:13:38.560 as the person who came up with the scoop.

00:13:40.920 Now, that is not standard.

00:13:43.760 That's not standard behavior,

00:13:45.520 I don't think.

00:13:47.540 Or at least it shouldn't be.

00:13:49.720 And I got a real problem with that

00:13:52.040 because the entire context of yesterday

00:13:54.940 was the big media companies

00:13:57.340 essentially censoring

00:14:00.120 or, you know, what's the word,

00:14:03.400 suppressing certain voices.

00:14:06.740 And then Tucker did it.

00:14:08.660 That's literally what Tucker did.

00:14:10.200 And he suppressed Mike Cernovich's voice

00:14:13.680 by not giving him attention

00:14:15.820 when it was clearly appropriate to do so,

00:14:19.240 which would have been, you know,

00:14:20.640 presumably good for Mike

00:14:22.080 in whatever ways that attention

00:14:24.160 is good for people who operate in the public

00:14:26.360 and sell books and stuff.

00:14:28.800 So that bothered me.

00:14:32.740 I just wanted to point that out

00:14:33.800 and give Mike a shout out for that.

00:14:36.340 And we'll talk more about that.

00:14:37.840 In no particular order,

00:14:40.980 if you're not following Undercover Huber

00:14:43.300 on Twitter, you probably should.

00:14:46.760 It's at John W. Huber,

00:14:49.520 H-U-B-E-R.

00:14:51.460 And he tweets this.

00:14:53.720 And the reason that this got my attention

00:14:56.740 is because the whole Russia collusion story

00:15:00.320 was so complicated

00:15:02.020 and it already feels like it was 10 years ago,

00:15:05.800 that as new information dribbles out,

00:15:08.360 it's hard for your brain to take these new dribbles

00:15:11.640 and connect them with this complicated story

00:15:14.800 that already feels 10 years old,

00:15:16.640 even though it isn't.

00:15:18.280 And so you can sort of miss the big picture

00:15:21.040 just in the details.

00:15:23.000 And here's one that I missed.

00:15:25.520 So ask yourself if you knew this.

00:15:30.060 So Undercover Huber tweets,

00:15:31.780 I'm not sure everyone had fully internalized yet,

00:15:35.300 which is an understatement.

00:15:38.260 I'm not sure everyone had fully internalized yet.

00:15:41.140 The Steeles, meaning the Steele dossier,

00:15:44.700 that Steele's primary sub-source

00:15:47.400 was directly on his payroll.

00:15:51.160 What?

00:15:52.600 What?

00:15:54.460 Payments were laundered through a front company

00:15:56.840 and the source was dependent on that income from Steele

00:16:00.340 to maintain his work permit

00:16:01.860 to live in the United States.

00:16:03.620 What?

00:16:04.620 Are you kidding me?

00:16:06.920 How did I not know that?

00:16:08.440 So, oh, somebody's saying if Cernovich got it,

00:16:17.560 why couldn't Tucker have gotten it?

00:16:19.660 Well, he could have.

00:16:20.720 And then he might have mentioned where it came from.

00:16:22.980 So he didn't mention where it came from in any event.

00:16:26.260 And we're left assuming that.

00:16:28.440 But if your criticism is that I can't know that for sure,

00:16:33.580 that he didn't have some other source, that's true.

00:16:36.300 I can't know that with 100% certainty.

00:16:39.100 But 90%?

00:16:42.300 All right.

00:16:44.520 So the fact that the Steele dossier

00:16:47.100 and the whole Russia collusion thing

00:16:48.980 was based on Steele getting information

00:16:53.180 from his own employee,

00:16:54.420 or basically a guy that he gives income to,

00:16:59.640 it's just the worst situation.

00:17:05.020 And I saw something about,

00:17:09.980 who was the head of the CIA there?

00:17:13.260 What's his name?

00:17:14.120 I can't remember his name.

00:17:15.820 But he was writing the book,

00:17:18.480 and then he didn't have access to his notes

00:17:20.300 because he lost his security clearance.

00:17:22.520 What was the ex-head of the CIA's name?

00:17:24.720 Why am I blanking on that?

00:17:28.320 Doesn't matter.

00:17:31.220 So I don't know how people don't go to jail for all this stuff.

00:17:36.480 How do people not go to jail?

00:17:39.380 No, it wasn't Clapper Brennan.

00:17:40.720 So Brennan, I guess, is writing a book,

00:17:44.260 but he doesn't have access to his own notes

00:17:46.980 from the period when he was head of the CIA

00:17:49.480 because I guess Trump said he couldn't have them,

00:17:52.940 which is probably just spite,

00:17:57.180 but it's funny.

00:17:58.040 He had that coming.

00:18:02.260 So ESPN had a story about the NBA academies in China.

00:18:06.880 Did you see that?

00:18:09.180 So the NBA apparently started these academies

00:18:13.000 where they would work with young Chinese basketball players

00:18:18.120 to try to develop them,

00:18:19.220 to try to get some superstars in China,

00:18:21.600 because if they could get some local Chinese superstars

00:18:25.660 and import them to the NBA,

00:18:27.900 then China would watch the NBA.

00:18:30.400 So it was a good business move.

00:18:32.680 But it turns out that,

00:18:34.820 and this isn't funny except that it's funny.

00:18:39.880 I feel terrible laughing at this.

00:18:41.740 I might have to wait until I'm not laughing anymore

00:18:43.860 so I can say it.

00:18:45.900 So apparently the local Chinese coaches

00:18:52.840 who were part of the academy,

00:18:54.920 so there would be some, I guess, American

00:18:56.560 who would be the head,

00:18:58.460 but then there would be the subsidiary coaches.

00:19:01.500 And I guess the local Chinese coaches,

00:19:04.720 if you don't do a good job, they hit you.

00:19:08.540 They hit you.

00:19:10.020 They'll punch them.

00:19:11.820 They'll kick them and punch them.

00:19:13.200 So these guys,

00:19:16.380 these Chinese basketball players

00:19:17.760 are trying to play basketball,

00:19:19.520 and if they fumble the ball,

00:19:21.400 the coach will come over and punch them.

00:19:25.760 So here's the NBA.

00:19:30.560 First of all,

00:19:31.220 they get sort of a bad reputation

00:19:35.200 just for being subservient to China in general.

00:19:39.520 So they're already behind the ball, so to speak,

00:19:42.540 being subservient to China

00:19:44.080 because that's obviously not a popular thing in America.

00:19:48.200 But then to find out

00:19:49.180 that they're running academies of child abuse in China

00:19:53.980 just couldn't be more perfect.

00:19:58.180 Anyway, by the way,

00:19:58.820 if I start bleeding,

00:20:00.460 don't worry,

00:20:01.860 because I'm supposed to be bleeding

00:20:03.720 for another day or so.

00:20:04.700 Anyway, so ESPN basically threw the NBA under a bus

00:20:12.480 with a story about their NBA academies

00:20:15.020 and the players getting abused.

00:20:18.460 And there's nothing funny about anybody getting hit,

00:20:22.200 but what's funny is just how awful this is.

00:20:25.980 It's just...

00:20:26.700 Imagine being the commissioner of the NBA,

00:20:30.480 and you wake up one day

00:20:32.180 and you're like,

00:20:32.840 well, let's see what's in the news.

00:20:35.760 Check ESPN.

00:20:37.740 Yeah, ESPN.

00:20:40.080 Uh-oh.

00:20:41.580 Apparently, I'm the head of a child abuse ring.

00:20:45.520 So that was probably a bad day for the commissioner.

00:20:49.540 All right.

00:20:49.920 You, of course, all saw the tech CEOs,

00:20:54.360 CEOs being interviewed by Congress.

00:20:57.240 Oh, my God.

00:20:58.800 That was quite a thing.

00:21:00.360 Now, I didn't see all of it,

00:21:01.420 but I saw the important points.

00:21:03.780 And here's the thing that's a real...

00:21:07.520 There's something happening now.

00:21:09.640 Let me just say this as a general comment.

00:21:12.260 There's something happening with reality in the world now

00:21:15.680 that people can know something is true,

00:21:18.920 and that thing can be extraordinarily important,

00:21:22.860 and we will act like it's not there.

00:21:25.640 Have you seen that?

00:21:27.320 It feels like there are all these stories

00:21:29.260 of things we just act like are not there.

00:21:31.540 For example, the Russia collusion thing.

00:21:34.200 It was obviously a coup

00:21:35.480 to overthrow the legally elected president

00:21:38.380 of the United States.

00:21:40.080 Why isn't that in the news every day?

00:21:42.800 That feels like a big thing, right?

00:21:44.260 So, here's the other thing that's a big thing.

00:21:49.360 So, yesterday, Matt Gaetz is interviewing

00:21:52.600 or questioning the tech CEOs,

00:21:56.820 and he's talking to Google's CEO,

00:21:59.040 Pinchai, if I'm saying it right.

00:22:00.900 I hope I am.

00:22:01.360 And he says to him that he had testified earlier

00:22:06.820 in some prior hearing

00:22:09.360 that they did not manually...

00:22:12.360 What would be the word?

00:22:15.340 They did not manually mess with the search results.

00:22:19.400 In other words, the algorithm was the algorithm,

00:22:21.940 and Google said they didn't do anything

00:22:24.040 to promote or suppress any political point of view,

00:22:28.240 that sort of thing.

00:22:28.820 So, then Matt Gaetz challenges him on that

00:22:35.400 and gets him to admit,

00:22:39.580 the Google CEO,

00:22:41.820 gets him to admit in direct language

00:22:43.820 that they do, in fact,

00:22:46.500 create these black lists, if you will,

00:22:48.760 or lists of people to suppress

00:22:51.400 and that they're doing it manually.

00:22:53.720 Now, so now he admits exactly that.

00:22:59.180 Yes, it's a manual process,

00:23:00.880 which we create a list

00:23:02.220 of people that we're suppressing.

00:23:06.300 And then Matt Gaetz says,

00:23:08.060 so, you admit you're creating a...

00:23:10.880 you're manually creating a list

00:23:12.700 of people you're suppressing.

00:23:14.800 And then he says,

00:23:17.480 no.

00:23:19.700 No.

00:23:20.960 I'm like,

00:23:22.520 okay, let me put this in analogy form

00:23:25.000 so you can see it better.

00:23:27.460 Let's say it's not about technology at all.

00:23:30.660 Let's say it's a...

00:23:33.380 Google CEO,

00:23:34.840 did you murder a cat?

00:23:37.440 And Pinchai says,

00:23:42.080 no, I did not,

00:23:44.140 did not murder a cat.

00:23:47.400 Did you pick up a cat,

00:23:50.920 strangle it,

00:23:52.320 put it in a little wooden box,

00:23:53.740 and bury it?

00:23:55.260 Oh, yeah, I did that.

00:23:58.760 But you're saying you didn't murder a cat.

00:24:02.900 No, I didn't murder a cat.

00:24:05.600 Okay, okay.

00:24:07.440 You didn't murder a cat,

00:24:09.400 but you took a live cat,

00:24:11.420 you twisted his neck

00:24:12.460 until it wasn't alive,

00:24:13.720 you put it in a box,

00:24:14.640 and you buried it.

00:24:16.180 That you did, right?

00:24:17.520 Yeah, that's what I did.

00:24:19.820 But you accused me of murdering a cat.

00:24:22.320 No, that's murdering a cat.

00:24:24.180 That's a cat.

00:24:25.220 You murdered it.

00:24:26.500 Just say it.

00:24:27.400 You murder cats.

00:24:29.760 I don't murder any cats.

00:24:31.300 I don't know what you're talking about.

00:24:33.240 I'll sometimes twist their necks,

00:24:34.580 put them in a box,

00:24:35.620 put them in the ground.

00:24:37.440 Well, not murder.

00:24:40.400 Now,

00:24:41.260 I think the way

00:24:42.500 Pinchai was trying to

00:24:44.460 lawyer his way in

00:24:46.040 of the answer

00:24:46.600 was by saying that,

00:24:49.380 no, no,

00:24:49.800 it's not manual.

00:24:51.600 It goes through the algorithm.

00:24:53.160 In other words,

00:24:55.280 they manually create a list,

00:24:57.440 and then the algorithm uses it.

00:25:00.060 It wasn't him using it.

00:25:01.760 It was the algorithm using it.

00:25:03.940 Oh, yeah,

00:25:04.320 they created a manual list

00:25:05.720 for the algorithm to use,

00:25:09.120 but once the algorithm is using it,

00:25:11.340 I mean,

00:25:11.680 it's out of their hands, right?

00:25:13.500 It was the most ridiculous lie

00:25:17.160 I've ever seen in public.

00:25:18.660 I mean,

00:25:19.300 just completely ridiculous.

00:25:23.380 And here's the example.

00:25:25.160 So we just saw,

00:25:26.940 oh,

00:25:27.240 let me finish this.

00:25:29.140 It gets better.

00:25:30.280 So now we know

00:25:31.220 that at least Google

00:25:33.300 admits they are manually

00:25:35.720 influencing search results,

00:25:37.880 and therefore,

00:25:38.560 obviously,

00:25:39.820 controlling elections,

00:25:41.740 at least to the extent

00:25:43.880 that they can suppress things

00:25:45.340 and promote things.

00:25:46.820 You know,

00:25:47.240 for example,

00:25:47.760 that Breitbart

00:25:48.380 basically just got disappeared,

00:25:51.280 and a number of other sites,

00:25:52.780 pro-Trump sites,

00:25:53.920 just got disappeared.

00:25:55.900 Would that affect

00:25:57.040 your election?

00:25:59.540 Of course.

00:26:00.240 Yeah,

00:26:00.500 absolutely.

00:26:01.420 So we have established yesterday,

00:26:03.420 without any question,

00:26:05.400 that the big tech companies,

00:26:06.980 at least Google,

00:26:08.240 that one,

00:26:09.080 because he admitted it,

00:26:09.940 is,

00:26:11.240 and it's obvious,

00:26:12.660 is influencing elections,

00:26:14.820 and they don't plan

00:26:15.560 to do anything about it,

00:26:16.460 apparently.

00:26:17.220 There was no sense of,

00:26:19.960 oh, yeah,

00:26:20.200 we're going to change that,

00:26:21.240 or nothing like that.

00:26:22.820 Basically,

00:26:23.400 he just acted like

00:26:24.720 he was just going to

00:26:25.260 keep doing it,

00:26:26.660 simply by not saying

00:26:28.840 he wasn't going to do it.

00:26:30.540 So here's the punchline.

00:26:31.980 So then,

00:26:33.480 the CEOs were all asked

00:26:35.840 if they thought that China

00:26:37.880 was stealing intellectual property.

00:26:42.000 And here's the fun part.

00:26:44.740 Mark Zuckerberg said,

00:26:46.600 absolutely,

00:26:47.840 yes.

00:26:49.500 Facebook does not operate

00:26:51.240 in China.

00:26:53.560 That's important,

00:26:54.760 because they have a Chinese competitor,

00:26:56.760 is it WeChat or something?

00:26:58.360 So Facebook doesn't make money

00:26:59.780 from China,

00:27:00.780 so Zuckerberg says,

00:27:02.500 yeah, totally,

00:27:03.140 they're stealing IP.

00:27:03.920 So then they go to

00:27:06.340 the other three CEOs

00:27:07.620 who make a lot of money

00:27:08.920 in China.

00:27:10.400 A lot of money.

00:27:12.120 Tim Cook says,

00:27:13.520 no,

00:27:14.360 no,

00:27:15.180 they haven't,

00:27:15.580 they haven't stolen

00:27:16.340 anything from us.

00:27:17.640 It took about five minutes

00:27:19.300 for somebody on Twitter

00:27:20.640 to tweet the story

00:27:22.560 of an entire

00:27:23.880 artificial Apple store

00:27:26.180 in China

00:27:26.860 that was a fake Apple store.

00:27:29.320 Not only did they steal,

00:27:30.700 you know,

00:27:32.120 the IP,

00:27:33.740 but they recreated it

00:27:35.080 in a store,

00:27:36.000 a whole store

00:27:36.880 that looked just like

00:27:38.120 an Apple store,

00:27:38.980 but had a few differences

00:27:39.820 so you could tell.

00:27:41.920 It was the most

00:27:42.960 ridiculous lie.

00:27:44.880 Now,

00:27:45.220 do you think

00:27:45.960 there's any chance

00:27:47.780 that China

00:27:48.600 isn't trying to get into

00:27:49.940 the Apple technology?

00:27:52.400 The factories

00:27:53.040 are in their country.

00:27:55.380 The Apple factories

00:27:56.840 are in China.

00:27:58.920 Yes,

00:27:59.440 China's getting into

00:28:00.280 Apple stuff.

00:28:01.100 Of course.

00:28:03.200 And Tim Cook

00:28:03.820 looks right at the,

00:28:05.100 at Congress

00:28:05.940 and is like,

00:28:06.980 don't know anything

00:28:07.680 about that?

00:28:08.740 Nope.

00:28:10.320 Then,

00:28:10.740 then Jeff Bezos

00:28:12.480 gives the

00:28:13.260 weaseliest,

00:28:14.820 but smart,

00:28:16.340 let me say this,

00:28:17.660 all four CEOs,

00:28:19.700 geniuses,

00:28:21.280 just brilliant people,

00:28:22.580 right?

00:28:23.200 So,

00:28:23.840 nothing I'm going to say

00:28:24.980 would detract from the fact

00:28:26.160 that these are really

00:28:27.100 smart people.

00:28:28.440 These are operating

00:28:29.280 at the highest level

00:28:30.120 as opposed to

00:28:31.760 the members of Congress

00:28:32.780 like Sinsenbrenner

00:28:34.340 or whoever it was

00:28:35.020 who looks like a,

00:28:36.120 like a monkey basically

00:28:37.360 talking to these guys.

00:28:40.440 So,

00:28:41.120 then Jeff Bezos

00:28:42.240 gives his answers

00:28:43.000 like,

00:28:43.320 well,

00:28:43.520 I've read reports

00:28:44.700 which is not answering

00:28:46.760 the question about Amazon.

00:28:48.760 It's,

00:28:49.280 it's simply saying

00:28:50.020 I read reports

00:28:50.900 because we've all read reports.

00:28:53.160 And he got away with that.

00:28:55.020 He got away with that answer.

00:28:56.460 Well,

00:28:56.580 I read some things.

00:28:59.160 So,

00:28:59.680 that's why he's the richest guy

00:29:01.060 in the world

00:29:01.520 because that was a pretty good answer.

00:29:03.420 If you're trying to avoid answering,

00:29:05.400 pretty good.

00:29:07.300 So,

00:29:08.480 that was good.

00:29:09.480 And then the more interesting one

00:29:10.780 was Pinche,

00:29:12.100 the CEO of Google.

00:29:14.700 And he said no.

00:29:16.580 He said no.

00:29:17.960 But,

00:29:19.180 soon after,

00:29:20.320 he corrected.

00:29:21.340 I don't know how much time elapsed.

00:29:23.080 It wasn't that much time.

00:29:24.700 But later on,

00:29:25.540 he made sure

00:29:26.420 that he updated them

00:29:27.560 and said no.

00:29:29.360 In 2009,

00:29:31.680 Google was hacked by China

00:29:33.320 and they stole

00:29:34.060 some of our code.

00:29:37.500 That's exactly

00:29:38.420 what IP theft is.

00:29:41.080 So,

00:29:41.620 but,

00:29:42.400 he wasn't going to say it,

00:29:44.860 apparently,

00:29:45.940 until there was

00:29:46.740 a published report

00:29:47.920 because apparently

00:29:48.640 that had been in the news

00:29:49.720 when it happened.

00:29:50.980 So,

00:29:51.480 it would be hard

00:29:51.900 to deny something

00:29:52.800 that could be so easily

00:29:54.000 Googled.

00:29:55.740 Right?

00:29:56.340 I mean,

00:29:56.620 you just have to use

00:29:57.440 his own product.

00:29:58.680 Well,

00:29:58.980 is that true?

00:29:59.700 Let's Google

00:30:00.500 China hackers.

00:30:02.380 Well,

00:30:02.580 there it is.

00:30:03.180 2009.

00:30:04.180 I guess you lied.

00:30:06.340 So,

00:30:06.860 Google kind of

00:30:07.600 had to correct that

00:30:08.760 because the report

00:30:09.660 was out there,

00:30:10.580 you know,

00:30:11.180 in conflict.

00:30:12.820 But,

00:30:13.340 if you see that

00:30:13.900 the three CEOs

00:30:15.080 who have the most

00:30:16.020 financial interest

00:30:17.120 in China

00:30:17.640 all bowed to China,

00:30:20.160 the one who didn't

00:30:21.420 have a financial interest

00:30:22.600 didn't.

00:30:24.920 What can you conclude

00:30:26.200 about that?

00:30:27.620 Well,

00:30:28.040 here's what I conclude.

00:30:29.940 I conclude that

00:30:31.000 the tech companies

00:30:31.660 can't do anything

00:30:32.740 that China would object to

00:30:34.560 because if they did,

00:30:36.560 it would be

00:30:37.020 a pretty big problem.

00:30:39.300 So,

00:30:39.980 doesn't that mean

00:30:41.400 if the tech companies

00:30:42.820 are controlling

00:30:43.540 our elections

00:30:44.240 and China

00:30:46.100 has direct control

00:30:47.280 of the tech companies,

00:30:50.120 doesn't that make

00:30:51.160 China in charge

00:30:51.860 of our elections?

00:30:53.640 Because it does.

00:30:55.720 Now,

00:30:56.220 you say to yourself,

00:30:56.980 yeah,

00:30:57.340 it's not that direct.

00:30:59.100 Sure,

00:30:59.680 China's pushing

00:31:00.780 a little influence

00:31:01.740 here and there.

00:31:02.560 Other people are pushing

00:31:03.380 a little influence,

00:31:04.260 but it probably all gets

00:31:05.560 lost in the rounding,

00:31:07.540 right?

00:31:07.800 I don't know.

00:31:10.360 Because,

00:31:11.400 riddle me this,

00:31:13.300 if Joe Biden

00:31:14.340 were not running

00:31:15.880 against Trump,

00:31:17.680 could the tech companies

00:31:19.200 be so pro-Biden

00:31:20.920 and anti-Trump?

00:31:22.960 Could they get away

00:31:24.160 with it?

00:31:24.880 Because is it a coincidence

00:31:26.020 that the tech companies

00:31:27.180 are universally

00:31:28.380 supporting

00:31:29.100 the most

00:31:30.260 pro-China

00:31:31.400 candidate

00:31:32.100 running for president?

00:31:34.060 It could be

00:31:35.180 a coincidence.

00:31:35.760 it could be

00:31:37.100 a coincidence.

00:31:39.320 But,

00:31:40.080 if it were not true,

00:31:42.600 I think they would

00:31:43.760 have to change something.

00:31:45.700 In other words,

00:31:46.620 if it were not

00:31:47.420 conveniently,

00:31:48.500 luckily true

00:31:49.280 that Biden

00:31:50.260 is pro-China

00:31:51.180 and also a Democrat,

00:31:52.740 so of course

00:31:53.260 the tech companies

00:31:54.520 are going to

00:31:55.000 favor the Democrat,

00:31:56.660 what if that were

00:31:57.640 not the case?

00:31:59.520 Would they have

00:32:00.320 to make it the case?

00:32:02.080 Would they have to

00:32:03.060 get another candidate?

00:32:06.760 I don't know.

00:32:07.640 At this point,

00:32:08.280 it's looking a lot

00:32:09.020 like China runs

00:32:09.800 the country.

00:32:10.960 Now,

00:32:11.120 what's the solution

00:32:11.780 to that?

00:32:13.340 Turnout.

00:32:14.200 The only solution

00:32:15.340 to that,

00:32:15.820 because I think

00:32:16.280 the foreign influences

00:32:18.780 and every other influence,

00:32:20.760 all the malign influences,

00:32:22.800 even the cheating

00:32:23.540 on whatever cheating

00:32:25.340 there is

00:32:25.760 with ballots,

00:32:27.020 etc.,

00:32:27.600 voter suppression,

00:32:28.600 all that,

00:32:28.940 if you count

00:32:30.440 all of that,

00:32:31.500 some of it's going

00:32:32.200 to wash out

00:32:33.540 the other,

00:32:34.780 but voter turnout

00:32:35.900 is sort of the only

00:32:36.900 thing that's going

00:32:37.400 to protect the country.

00:32:38.900 If you don't have

00:32:40.000 massive,

00:32:41.980 like sort of

00:32:42.700 historically high

00:32:43.820 turnout,

00:32:45.440 China gets to decide

00:32:46.520 who the president is.

00:32:47.620 That's it.

00:32:48.580 If you don't have

00:32:49.680 historically,

00:32:50.740 like super turnout,

00:32:53.620 China's your daddy,

00:32:55.400 because that's the way

00:32:56.840 it's going to go.

00:32:58.820 So,

00:32:59.380 there's that.

00:33:02.320 You all know

00:33:03.120 Seth MacFarlane

00:33:04.320 from Family Guy

00:33:06.160 and other great things.

00:33:08.680 I wrote about him

00:33:09.500 in my book

00:33:10.000 LoserThink,

00:33:11.380 because he's

00:33:12.600 a perfect example

00:33:14.160 of LoserThink.

00:33:16.560 And,

00:33:17.060 what I mean by that

00:33:18.560 is not that he's

00:33:19.720 unintelligent,

00:33:21.400 because he's actually

00:33:22.140 quite intelligent.

00:33:23.800 He's very talented

00:33:24.620 in a number of

00:33:25.420 different areas.

00:33:25.960 He can sing,

00:33:27.880 you know,

00:33:28.120 he writes,

00:33:29.660 he acts,

00:33:31.260 produces,

00:33:32.100 directs,

00:33:32.560 I don't know,

00:33:32.900 does all kinds

00:33:33.680 of stuff.

00:33:35.020 So,

00:33:36.440 starting with

00:33:37.600 Seth MacFarlane,

00:33:38.760 very talented,

00:33:40.080 and has a really

00:33:41.160 impressive talent stack.

00:33:43.480 But what he doesn't

00:33:44.580 have is experience

00:33:46.320 in the fields

00:33:47.260 where people

00:33:47.800 make decisions.

00:33:49.420 The fields such

00:33:50.480 as economics,

00:33:51.800 etc.

00:33:52.480 And it comes

00:33:53.280 through in his

00:33:54.060 tweets,

00:33:54.660 and I'll give you

00:33:55.440 an example,

00:33:55.960 he tweeted this

00:33:56.500 today,

00:33:57.480 or yesterday,

00:33:58.800 God only knows

00:33:59.600 what the Trump

00:34:00.540 administration

00:34:01.060 has to gain

00:34:02.220 by completely

00:34:03.240 blowing off

00:34:04.060 all responsibility

00:34:05.100 to formulate

00:34:06.020 a strategy

00:34:06.760 to contain

00:34:07.860 the pandemic.

00:34:09.240 One would think

00:34:10.040 a responsible effort

00:34:11.080 would help

00:34:12.060 his chances

00:34:12.580 in November.

00:34:13.720 Instead,

00:34:14.740 this,

00:34:15.560 utterly deranged.

00:34:17.740 So,

00:34:18.700 let me break it

00:34:19.600 down for you.

00:34:20.580 God only knows

00:34:21.300 what the Trump

00:34:21.880 administration

00:34:22.360 has to gain

00:34:23.300 by completely

00:34:24.080 blowing off.

00:34:25.900 So this is a

00:34:26.500 mind-reading thing

00:34:27.400 where he's trying

00:34:28.520 to read their minds.

00:34:29.860 That's not a thing.

00:34:31.640 So as soon as

00:34:32.220 you're into

00:34:32.500 mind-reading mode,

00:34:33.560 you've lost

00:34:34.980 the scent

00:34:35.800 of your argument.

00:34:39.320 All right.

00:34:41.300 And he's acting

00:34:42.500 like they haven't

00:34:44.140 formulated a strategy.

00:34:46.420 Now,

00:34:46.980 I'm going to give you

00:34:47.760 a lesson

00:34:48.280 from LoserThink

00:34:49.200 on my whiteboard

00:34:50.140 about how to

00:34:50.900 evaluate

00:34:51.540 Trump's performance

00:34:53.440 on the coronavirus.

00:34:54.700 Because I think

00:34:55.340 most of us

00:34:55.820 would agree

00:34:56.320 that if Trump

00:34:58.600 is seen as

00:34:59.280 doing a good job

00:35:00.240 on the coronavirus

00:35:00.980 by November,

00:35:02.080 he'll get re-elected.

00:35:03.600 If he is seen

00:35:04.420 as doing a poor job,

00:35:06.000 it's going to be harder.

00:35:07.700 So did Trump

00:35:08.740 do a good job

00:35:09.500 or a bad job

00:35:11.300 on coronavirus?

00:35:12.700 And how would

00:35:13.160 you decide that?

00:35:14.480 Let me teach you

00:35:15.280 from my book,

00:35:16.920 LoserThink.

00:35:17.540 These are some

00:35:18.840 of the things

00:35:19.180 you would learn there.

00:35:20.560 So I would say

00:35:21.300 there are five things

00:35:22.140 you should look at.

00:35:22.900 You could compare him

00:35:23.680 to the other president

00:35:25.560 who was doing

00:35:26.100 the same job

00:35:26.840 at the same time.

00:35:29.380 Oh wait,

00:35:30.080 there wasn't one.

00:35:31.540 Oh.

00:35:32.580 So I guess you can't

00:35:33.360 compare him

00:35:33.800 to the other president

00:35:34.720 who was president

00:35:36.640 of the United States

00:35:37.580 at the same time

00:35:38.600 who was making

00:35:39.500 different decisions

00:35:40.360 and got a different outcome.

00:35:42.600 Because that person

00:35:43.380 doesn't exist.

00:35:45.400 But we imagine

00:35:46.960 it does.

00:35:47.540 And that's sort of

00:35:48.540 the Seth McFarlane

00:35:50.060 method.

00:35:52.060 He imagines

00:35:52.900 a competent president

00:35:54.260 and what that would

00:35:54.980 look like.

00:35:56.240 And then he

00:35:56.600 looks at Trump

00:35:58.200 and he says,

00:35:58.780 man, you're not

00:35:59.340 nearly as good

00:36:00.060 as the imaginary

00:36:01.500 one in my mind.

00:36:03.600 That is loser

00:36:04.960 think.

00:36:06.120 Because the imaginary

00:36:07.020 one doesn't exist.

00:36:08.620 And you don't know

00:36:09.320 what that person

00:36:10.020 would do

00:36:10.460 if they did exist.

00:36:12.320 It is completely

00:36:13.560 irrational

00:36:14.180 to look at

00:36:15.160 one person

00:36:15.800 doing one thing

00:36:16.640 in one case

00:36:17.400 and saying,

00:36:18.860 well, that's not

00:36:19.380 as good as the

00:36:19.980 other imaginary

00:36:20.600 person would do.

00:36:22.040 Now, there will be

00:36:22.780 some modifications

00:36:24.100 to that

00:36:24.560 we'll all get to.

00:36:25.300 But in general,

00:36:26.160 that's the starting point.

00:36:28.120 Number two,

00:36:28.800 you could compare

00:36:29.460 the United States

00:36:30.240 performance

00:36:30.760 to other countries.

00:36:31.960 and if we were,

00:36:33.240 say, in the top

00:36:34.000 20%,

00:36:35.000 you'd say,

00:36:36.640 pretty good.

00:36:38.240 Probably something

00:36:39.080 to do with leadership.

00:36:40.420 Not necessarily,

00:36:41.460 but probably,

00:36:42.360 if you're in the top

00:36:43.040 20%.

00:36:43.800 But here's the problem.

00:36:46.600 All of our data

00:36:47.660 is bad.

00:36:49.600 Is Sweden

00:36:50.800 doing really well

00:36:52.100 or really bad?

00:36:53.840 Get onto Twitter,

00:36:55.500 spend five minutes

00:36:56.480 looking at Sweden-related

00:36:58.620 coronavirus

00:36:59.340 arguments and data

00:37:01.380 and you will learn

00:37:02.500 we don't know

00:37:03.680 what's going on there.

00:37:04.820 We don't know

00:37:05.280 what's going on

00:37:05.940 in Sweden.

00:37:06.560 We don't know

00:37:06.960 what's going on

00:37:07.560 anywhere, really.

00:37:08.600 All of our data

00:37:09.420 is bad.

00:37:11.180 And here's the

00:37:12.460 bigger part.

00:37:14.160 It's not over yet.

00:37:16.500 Because it would be

00:37:17.460 easier to wait

00:37:18.120 to the end,

00:37:18.820 wouldn't it?

00:37:19.440 If you waited

00:37:19.920 to the end,

00:37:21.060 you could see,

00:37:21.780 all right,

00:37:22.540 we don't have to

00:37:23.460 judge the outcome

00:37:24.720 of the game

00:37:25.360 at halftime,

00:37:26.660 which wouldn't

00:37:27.160 make sense, right?

00:37:27.840 Because we're at

00:37:28.280 halftime now.

00:37:30.540 So comparing

00:37:31.280 to other countries

00:37:32.020 at halftime,

00:37:33.520 that's kind of dicey.

00:37:35.880 But it would be

00:37:36.580 really good

00:37:37.940 if you could

00:37:38.480 compare them

00:37:39.200 at the end

00:37:39.760 when everybody's

00:37:41.220 buried,

00:37:41.640 who's going to

00:37:41.960 be buried,

00:37:42.520 and you can

00:37:42.920 count up the deaths,

00:37:44.280 which ultimately

00:37:44.920 would be the best

00:37:46.540 scorecard.

00:37:48.060 But here's the thing.

00:37:49.620 We're not there yet.

00:37:51.660 We're not there.

00:37:53.400 And what happens

00:37:54.460 to all the countries

00:37:55.380 who are doing

00:37:55.920 really well

00:37:56.560 right now?

00:37:57.860 How about the

00:37:58.600 countries that

00:37:59.380 got their

00:37:59.900 infections and

00:38:01.320 deaths down

00:38:01.840 to like single

00:38:02.900 digits?

00:38:04.380 What's going to

00:38:04.880 happen to them

00:38:05.540 in November?

00:38:07.880 It's coming back.

00:38:10.440 The thing that

00:38:11.500 everybody misses

00:38:12.280 in this is that

00:38:13.200 there's nothing

00:38:13.800 that's going to

00:38:14.320 stop this virus

00:38:15.380 from infecting

00:38:17.320 herd immunity

00:38:18.420 everywhere,

00:38:20.020 unless something

00:38:21.380 gets invented

00:38:22.160 that hasn't yet

00:38:23.460 been invented.

00:38:24.040 If you think

00:38:25.280 there's going

00:38:25.660 to be a

00:38:26.380 vaccine,

00:38:27.440 well,

00:38:27.700 that's terrific.

00:38:28.980 I don't.

00:38:30.220 I don't believe

00:38:31.340 that a vaccine

00:38:32.340 is going to

00:38:32.860 save us.

00:38:33.620 I think

00:38:34.220 that all

00:38:36.480 of the other

00:38:36.900 countries are

00:38:37.560 going to end

00:38:37.980 up being

00:38:38.360 kind of comparable

00:38:39.200 because the

00:38:40.340 virus can't

00:38:40.940 be stopped.

00:38:42.040 And even if

00:38:42.520 you're Taiwan

00:38:43.120 and you like

00:38:44.180 drive it to

00:38:44.920 zero,

00:38:45.500 which I think

00:38:46.120 they did at

00:38:46.520 one point,

00:38:47.380 as soon as

00:38:48.140 you open your

00:38:48.580 airports,

00:38:49.360 it's coming

00:38:49.900 back because

00:38:51.200 we didn't

00:38:51.660 drive it to

00:38:52.140 zero.

00:38:52.360 So as long

00:38:53.400 as the

00:38:53.640 United States

00:38:54.300 is not

00:38:54.720 at zero

00:38:55.120 and other

00:38:55.540 big countries

00:38:56.040 are not

00:38:56.400 at zero

00:38:56.800 and there's

00:38:57.320 global travel

00:38:58.440 and everybody

00:38:59.740 opens up

00:39:00.260 their economy

00:39:00.820 because why

00:39:01.360 wouldn't you

00:39:01.740 if your

00:39:02.120 infections are

00:39:03.100 so low?

00:39:04.320 It's just

00:39:04.760 going to

00:39:05.000 come back.

00:39:06.420 So if you're

00:39:06.900 looking at it

00:39:07.420 today,

00:39:07.900 you're looking

00:39:08.240 at the game

00:39:09.100 at halftime

00:39:09.780 and you're

00:39:10.460 acting like

00:39:10.960 you know

00:39:11.240 how it

00:39:11.500 ends.

00:39:11.820 You don't.

00:39:12.900 It would

00:39:13.180 be completely

00:39:13.900 irrational

00:39:14.440 today to

00:39:16.400 compare any

00:39:16.980 country to

00:39:17.480 any other

00:39:17.840 country.

00:39:18.800 Number one,

00:39:19.400 all the data

00:39:19.940 is bad.

00:39:21.060 All the data

00:39:21.780 is bad

00:39:22.280 and not

00:39:22.740 comparable

00:39:23.200 and you

00:39:24.680 know what's

00:39:25.040 up with

00:39:25.580 the vitamin

00:39:25.980 D,

00:39:26.680 what's up

00:39:27.040 with the

00:39:27.640 vaccinations

00:39:30.620 for tuberculosis

00:39:31.940 that have

00:39:32.460 some kind

00:39:32.820 of connection,

00:39:34.100 what's up

00:39:34.540 with hydroxychloroquine

00:39:35.660 use,

00:39:36.680 what's up

00:39:37.080 with the age,

00:39:37.920 what's up

00:39:38.220 with you

00:39:39.000 know do

00:39:39.180 they count

00:39:39.720 right,

00:39:40.160 do they test

00:39:40.700 right,

00:39:41.320 do they measure

00:39:42.920 the deaths

00:39:43.520 accurately.

00:39:44.500 We don't have

00:39:45.060 any of that.

00:39:46.220 As soon as you

00:39:46.900 think that we

00:39:47.820 have good data

00:39:48.660 on this,

00:39:49.680 you are so

00:39:50.360 far into

00:39:51.020 imaginary

00:39:51.680 wonderland

00:39:52.440 that I don't

00:39:53.200 know how to

00:39:53.500 get you back.

00:39:55.340 So we can't

00:39:56.320 compare him to

00:39:56.880 the president

00:39:57.500 that doesn't

00:39:58.040 exist,

00:39:58.580 we can't

00:39:58.980 compare him

00:39:59.360 to other

00:39:59.860 countries

00:40:00.340 because the

00:40:00.780 data is bad

00:40:01.420 and that

00:40:01.840 would be

00:40:02.160 halftime

00:40:02.740 anyway,

00:40:03.140 we can't

00:40:03.520 compare the

00:40:03.960 final outcome

00:40:04.660 because that's

00:40:05.620 months away,

00:40:06.920 but we could

00:40:07.660 look at his

00:40:08.040 strategy and

00:40:10.000 see what he's

00:40:10.460 actually doing.

00:40:11.680 Now the only

00:40:12.040 way you could

00:40:12.560 judge his

00:40:13.640 strategy to be

00:40:14.960 bad is if it

00:40:16.500 was just so

00:40:16.940 obviously bad.

00:40:18.680 For example,

00:40:19.980 if his strategy

00:40:20.840 to fight the

00:40:21.460 coronavirus was

00:40:22.500 to sacrifice a

00:40:24.720 chicken and

00:40:25.300 sing to the

00:40:26.040 moon, we

00:40:27.520 wouldn't have to

00:40:28.100 do any kind

00:40:28.560 of a study to

00:40:29.860 find out that

00:40:30.400 that was bad

00:40:31.240 strategy.

00:40:32.280 It was just

00:40:32.680 sort of obvious.

00:40:34.000 So is there

00:40:34.480 anything that the

00:40:35.000 president has

00:40:36.080 done or is

00:40:36.580 doing that's

00:40:37.900 just obviously

00:40:38.520 wrong?

00:40:39.620 And could you

00:40:40.300 say that he

00:40:40.760 doesn't have a

00:40:41.340 strategy, as

00:40:42.980 Seth MacFarlane

00:40:44.020 says?

00:40:44.960 Well, I don't

00:40:45.860 like to use the

00:40:46.360 word strategy,

00:40:46.940 because in some

00:40:50.160 sense there's

00:40:50.660 no such thing.

00:40:52.260 That's another

00:40:53.020 conversation.

00:40:54.380 But we do have

00:40:55.120 a system, and

00:40:57.020 let me explain

00:40:58.880 it.

00:41:00.640 My understanding

00:41:01.680 of the federal

00:41:02.880 government's

00:41:05.080 response to

00:41:05.780 coronavirus is

00:41:06.980 number one, let

00:41:07.700 the states take

00:41:08.640 the lead in

00:41:09.580 deciding on a

00:41:10.600 city-by-city

00:41:11.260 basis what to

00:41:12.020 do.

00:41:13.080 That's our

00:41:13.480 federal system.

00:41:14.380 Does anybody

00:41:14.760 think that's

00:41:15.360 crazy?

00:41:15.700 Is it crazy

00:41:16.580 to let the

00:41:17.120 states take

00:41:18.360 the lead on

00:41:19.060 the details

00:41:20.000 within the

00:41:20.480 state?

00:41:20.880 No.

00:41:21.460 That's our

00:41:21.820 system.

00:41:22.820 It's exactly

00:41:23.380 what you'd

00:41:23.720 expect the

00:41:24.160 president to

00:41:24.620 do.

00:41:25.520 Now, the

00:41:25.940 other thing

00:41:26.220 you'd want

00:41:26.500 them to do

00:41:26.860 is to

00:41:27.180 backstop

00:41:27.740 them.

00:41:28.380 So if

00:41:28.740 they don't

00:41:28.960 have enough

00:41:29.340 PPE, don't

00:41:30.120 have enough

00:41:30.480 ventilators,

00:41:31.420 well, that's

00:41:31.780 something the

00:41:32.180 federal government

00:41:32.780 could really

00:41:33.240 do.

00:41:33.480 They can

00:41:33.700 step in

00:41:34.220 with their

00:41:34.580 emergency

00:41:35.260 funding and

00:41:36.080 powers and

00:41:36.680 get that

00:41:37.600 done.

00:41:38.420 Did the

00:41:38.800 president do

00:41:39.360 that?

00:41:40.300 Yeah.

00:41:41.080 Yeah, he

00:41:41.580 did that.

00:41:42.380 So we got the

00:41:43.160 ventilators, we

00:41:43.820 got the PPE,

00:41:45.700 hospitals didn't

00:41:46.700 crash.

00:41:48.120 So that

00:41:49.040 worked out.

00:41:50.000 The other

00:41:50.280 part of the

00:41:50.620 plan was that

00:41:51.680 we would stay

00:41:52.380 flexible and

00:41:54.020 we would

00:41:54.380 probably experiment

00:41:56.260 with reopening

00:41:57.600 and then pull

00:41:58.400 back if we

00:41:58.980 needed to,

00:41:59.620 experiment, pull

00:42:00.460 back, and

00:42:01.500 that we would

00:42:01.860 also be trying

00:42:02.660 masks, try

00:42:04.960 this, try

00:42:05.440 that, and

00:42:06.260 that we would

00:42:06.820 be picking

00:42:07.380 away at it

00:42:08.060 because nobody

00:42:08.700 knew the

00:42:09.260 right answer.

00:42:10.600 In a situation

00:42:11.560 where nobody

00:42:12.140 knows the

00:42:12.780 right answer,

00:42:14.100 somebody guesses

00:42:15.140 door A,

00:42:16.400 another leader

00:42:17.300 guesses door

00:42:18.100 B, and

00:42:19.280 let's say B

00:42:19.820 turns out to

00:42:20.340 be the right

00:42:20.720 one, but

00:42:21.880 they both

00:42:22.200 guessed.

00:42:23.180 There was no

00:42:23.640 information to

00:42:24.380 be had, they

00:42:25.120 just guessed.

00:42:26.340 Is leader B

00:42:27.340 the good one

00:42:27.940 because they

00:42:28.820 guessed right?

00:42:30.100 Well, you

00:42:31.160 know, history

00:42:31.720 will record it

00:42:33.400 that way, but

00:42:34.960 no, it's just

00:42:36.800 a guess.

00:42:38.020 So the

00:42:39.760 system we

00:42:40.280 used was to

00:42:41.120 stay flexible,

00:42:42.320 try stuff,

00:42:43.080 pull back,

00:42:43.520 try stuff,

00:42:44.220 pull back,

00:42:45.220 give the

00:42:46.300 states as

00:42:46.860 much authority

00:42:47.460 as possible,

00:42:48.340 share as

00:42:48.760 much information

00:42:49.400 as possible,

00:42:50.460 do the

00:42:50.840 press conferences.

00:42:52.400 It looked

00:42:53.020 pretty good to

00:42:53.580 me.

00:42:54.240 I mean,

00:42:54.540 there's nothing

00:42:55.140 about that

00:42:55.980 that I just

00:42:56.780 described that

00:42:58.120 is like

00:42:58.640 sacrificing a

00:42:59.720 chicken and

00:43:00.200 singing to

00:43:00.620 the moon.

00:43:01.280 So you

00:43:01.660 could argue

00:43:02.100 that it

00:43:02.440 could have

00:43:02.660 been done

00:43:03.020 better,

00:43:04.420 right?

00:43:04.900 But you

00:43:05.320 wouldn't have

00:43:05.640 any information.

00:43:07.480 You could

00:43:08.100 say, I

00:43:08.780 think,

00:43:09.260 hypothetically,

00:43:10.080 if something

00:43:10.600 was done

00:43:11.060 differently,

00:43:11.560 you'd get a

00:43:11.920 better result,

00:43:12.480 but you

00:43:13.360 can't know

00:43:13.840 that,

00:43:14.660 and there's

00:43:14.980 no evidence

00:43:15.540 of that.

00:43:17.220 Here's the

00:43:18.000 last category.

00:43:20.140 The president's

00:43:21.060 tweets,

00:43:21.580 his communication,

00:43:22.720 his pressers,

00:43:23.440 and basically

00:43:23.920 just the way

00:43:24.500 he talks

00:43:25.020 about it.

00:43:25.760 I would

00:43:26.100 say that's

00:43:26.500 not been

00:43:26.880 an A-plus,

00:43:28.020 and I don't

00:43:28.680 think anybody

00:43:29.180 would say

00:43:29.520 that.

00:43:30.280 I think,

00:43:30.880 you know,

00:43:31.520 he could

00:43:31.880 have been

00:43:32.100 stronger on

00:43:32.820 masks,

00:43:33.580 perhaps,

00:43:34.500 but did

00:43:35.060 it matter?

00:43:36.580 Is there

00:43:37.040 anybody not

00:43:37.860 wearing a

00:43:38.280 mask because

00:43:39.120 of the

00:43:39.380 president?

00:43:40.460 Maybe,

00:43:41.040 I don't

00:43:41.340 know.

00:43:41.500 But I

00:43:42.280 feel like

00:43:43.400 Republicans

00:43:44.080 would have

00:43:44.560 ended up

00:43:45.040 there anyway.

00:43:46.520 I don't

00:43:46.760 think that

00:43:47.280 if Trump

00:43:48.220 wore a

00:43:48.580 mask every

00:43:49.080 day,

00:43:49.760 do you

00:43:49.960 think that

00:43:50.440 that would

00:43:51.120 cause the

00:43:52.500 voters to

00:43:53.200 wear more

00:43:53.580 masks?

00:43:54.940 I don't

00:43:55.240 know.

00:43:55.600 It might

00:43:55.800 just cause

00:43:56.200 the Democrats

00:43:56.760 to not

00:43:57.300 wear masks,

00:43:58.160 right?

00:43:58.860 Because we

00:43:59.320 see that

00:43:59.760 whatever Trump

00:44:00.660 does,

00:44:01.760 half the

00:44:02.220 country is

00:44:02.600 going to do

00:44:02.900 the other

00:44:03.180 thing or

00:44:03.940 say it's

00:44:04.320 wrong.

00:44:05.000 So there's

00:44:05.720 no evidence

00:44:06.340 to suggest

00:44:07.220 that if

00:44:07.980 Trump had

00:44:08.380 been stronger

00:44:09.120 on his

00:44:09.580 messaging on

00:44:10.320 masks,

00:44:11.500 more people

00:44:12.100 would wear

00:44:12.460 masks.

00:44:13.800 That is not

00:44:14.680 an evidence

00:44:15.200 because of

00:44:16.300 his special

00:44:16.760 case that

00:44:17.560 people would

00:44:18.080 rather do

00:44:18.480 the opposite

00:44:18.980 if they're

00:44:19.340 Democrats.

00:44:21.900 What about

00:44:22.760 his speculating

00:44:24.060 of hydroxychloroquine?

00:44:26.320 Well, that's

00:44:27.760 halftime too,

00:44:28.540 isn't it?

00:44:29.700 Is hydroxychloroquine

00:44:30.900 the real thing?

00:44:31.920 If it turns

00:44:32.880 out that by

00:44:34.360 November we

00:44:35.680 find out that

00:44:36.360 hydroxychloroquine

00:44:37.440 works,

00:44:39.340 Trump is

00:44:40.060 your president.

00:44:41.880 I don't know

00:44:42.680 if we'll do

00:44:43.020 that.

00:44:43.600 So I'm still

00:44:44.080 at 50%

00:44:44.980 chance that

00:44:46.100 the hydroxychloroquine

00:44:47.240 when administered

00:44:48.120 early and

00:44:49.580 with the

00:44:49.900 azithromycin

00:44:50.640 and zinc,

00:44:51.220 that's the

00:44:51.620 important part.

00:44:53.060 I'd say 50%

00:44:54.360 chance that

00:44:54.920 there's something

00:44:55.340 real there and

00:44:56.860 50% chance

00:44:57.900 that confirmation

00:45:00.020 bias has

00:45:00.820 overcome us

00:45:01.560 and that there

00:45:02.760 isn't anything

00:45:03.220 there.

00:45:05.440 But will we

00:45:06.400 know that by

00:45:07.100 November?

00:45:07.920 Don't know.

00:45:12.640 And so I

00:45:14.640 would say that

00:45:15.100 communication-wise

00:45:16.300 he probably

00:45:16.980 should have

00:45:17.320 stayed away

00:45:17.720 from the

00:45:18.080 medical stuff

00:45:18.800 a little bit,

00:45:19.700 but he did

00:45:20.660 listen to the

00:45:21.540 experts.

00:45:22.740 He did listen

00:45:23.640 to the experts.

00:45:24.200 I just

00:45:25.280 described a

00:45:26.040 perfectly

00:45:26.520 rational

00:45:27.140 approach.

00:45:29.100 We don't

00:45:29.420 know if in

00:45:30.200 the end

00:45:30.560 that's going

00:45:30.920 to be better

00:45:31.420 or worse

00:45:32.080 than other

00:45:32.560 countries because

00:45:33.240 it's only

00:45:33.600 halftime.

00:45:34.740 And the

00:45:34.960 infection rates

00:45:36.220 and curves

00:45:36.800 in different

00:45:37.220 countries were

00:45:37.840 not aligned.

00:45:38.960 So it's not

00:45:39.360 like everybody

00:45:39.780 started at the

00:45:40.520 same time and

00:45:41.360 did the same

00:45:41.860 things.

00:45:42.680 So you should

00:45:43.240 have some

00:45:43.680 timing differences.

00:45:45.440 It should be

00:45:46.160 expected that

00:45:47.820 countries doing

00:45:48.540 well will

00:45:50.380 eventually do

00:45:51.160 less well and

00:45:52.220 the ones that

00:45:52.780 are doing

00:45:53.020 less well will

00:45:54.240 eventually do

00:45:55.040 well and

00:45:55.940 you can see

00:45:56.560 the curves

00:45:57.680 crossing a

00:45:58.360 lot between

00:45:59.400 now and

00:45:59.980 the end of

00:46:00.260 the year.

00:46:01.500 All right.

00:46:03.240 Let us talk

00:46:04.060 about hydroxychloroquine

00:46:06.240 because we

00:46:08.460 must.

00:46:09.980 Yes, we

00:46:10.460 must.

00:46:11.520 And I

00:46:12.880 issued this

00:46:13.640 challenge on

00:46:14.280 Twitter.

00:46:14.620 I hope some

00:46:15.020 of you saw

00:46:15.480 it.

00:46:15.680 It goes like

00:46:16.140 this.

00:46:17.420 And I feel

00:46:18.160 like I should

00:46:18.560 just run right

00:46:19.660 through this.

00:46:20.020 Have you

00:46:21.280 ever seen

00:46:21.660 a story

00:46:22.160 about a

00:46:23.040 guy who

00:46:23.400 got COVID,

00:46:24.820 actually was

00:46:25.520 infected,

00:46:26.420 got early

00:46:27.460 treatment with

00:46:28.080 hydroxychloroquine,

00:46:29.320 zinc, and

00:46:30.160 azithromycin,

00:46:31.000 all three,

00:46:32.220 and then he

00:46:33.040 died.

00:46:34.200 Have you

00:46:34.480 ever seen

00:46:34.800 that?

00:46:35.800 Have you

00:46:36.480 heard of

00:46:37.000 one case

00:46:38.020 anywhere in

00:46:39.380 the world

00:46:39.760 in which

00:46:41.280 a person,

00:46:43.600 any person,

00:46:44.860 anybody in

00:46:45.380 the world,

00:46:46.100 got the

00:46:46.620 coronavirus,

00:46:47.000 virus, and

00:46:48.640 within a

00:46:49.200 few days

00:46:49.640 of getting

00:46:49.980 it, also

00:46:51.140 got the

00:46:51.640 three drugs,

00:46:53.000 and then

00:46:53.360 later died?

00:46:54.860 Because if

00:46:55.480 you can show

00:46:56.020 me one of

00:46:57.480 those,

00:46:59.280 ideally five,

00:47:00.980 five would

00:47:01.500 be good,

00:47:02.480 then I would

00:47:03.120 say to

00:47:03.360 myself,

00:47:03.800 well, that's

00:47:04.160 not a

00:47:04.460 cure, is

00:47:05.060 it?

00:47:06.120 It's still

00:47:06.720 worth studying,

00:47:08.160 but since

00:47:09.120 five people

00:47:09.780 who took

00:47:10.240 it in

00:47:10.580 exactly the

00:47:11.340 right way,

00:47:13.120 five of

00:47:13.620 them died,

00:47:14.340 and we can

00:47:14.740 confirm it,

00:47:15.440 let's say,

00:47:15.780 I would

00:47:16.760 say, well,

00:47:17.920 that moves

00:47:19.480 to the

00:47:19.820 skeptical

00:47:20.160 side.

00:47:21.040 Because remember,

00:47:21.900 the claims

00:47:22.600 are that it's

00:47:23.340 nearly a

00:47:23.880 miracle.

00:47:24.860 The claim

00:47:25.400 is that the

00:47:26.420 word cure,

00:47:28.080 in quotes,

00:47:28.880 because it's

00:47:29.160 not technically

00:47:29.780 a cure,

00:47:30.540 but it's so

00:47:31.340 close to a

00:47:31.920 cure that you

00:47:33.140 could kind

00:47:33.520 of say nobody's

00:47:34.280 going to die.

00:47:35.340 Now let me

00:47:35.740 ask you this.

00:47:36.920 I know some

00:47:37.380 of you were

00:47:37.760 afraid that it

00:47:38.440 would be too

00:47:38.820 easy to find

00:47:39.460 such cases,

00:47:41.040 but let me

00:47:41.360 ask you this.

00:47:43.020 If Democrats

00:47:44.460 could find

00:47:45.500 any of those

00:47:46.600 stories,

00:47:48.160 wouldn't they

00:47:48.680 be in the

00:47:49.100 news already?

00:47:50.500 Don't you

00:47:50.940 think that the

00:47:51.560 Democrats would

00:47:52.420 run one

00:47:53.100 profile a day

00:47:54.100 in one of

00:47:54.700 their pet

00:47:55.900 media vehicles?

00:47:58.520 Don't you

00:47:59.220 think that CNN

00:47:59.860 would have a

00:48:00.460 story every

00:48:01.100 other day about

00:48:01.860 the person who

00:48:02.460 took exactly

00:48:03.240 the right amount

00:48:04.060 at exactly the

00:48:05.020 right time and

00:48:06.440 died anyway?

00:48:07.760 Because that

00:48:08.400 would be the

00:48:08.820 kill shot.

00:48:10.100 There isn't a

00:48:10.860 single chance

00:48:11.740 that Trump

00:48:12.620 could get

00:48:13.140 elected if

00:48:14.760 five stories

00:48:15.960 ran about

00:48:16.740 five real

00:48:17.820 human beings

00:48:18.520 who took

00:48:19.500 exactly the

00:48:20.200 hydroxychloroquine

00:48:21.160 thing with

00:48:22.480 the three-drug

00:48:23.260 combo and

00:48:24.720 died.

00:48:25.720 It would

00:48:26.280 only take

00:48:26.740 five real

00:48:27.980 stories to

00:48:29.460 end the

00:48:30.100 Trump presidency.

00:48:31.580 How many

00:48:32.420 have you seen?

00:48:34.320 Zero.

00:48:35.780 So now I've

00:48:36.600 tweeted it to

00:48:37.240 half a million

00:48:37.780 people.

00:48:38.400 Now most of

00:48:39.000 them are

00:48:39.260 conservatives so

00:48:40.000 they're not

00:48:40.320 going to try

00:48:40.640 to accomplish

00:48:41.820 the challenge

00:48:42.500 I would

00:48:42.820 imagine.

00:48:43.680 But there

00:48:43.920 will be

00:48:44.200 enough

00:48:44.620 Democrats,

00:48:46.120 there will

00:48:46.300 be enough

00:48:46.740 operatives,

00:48:47.400 because a

00:48:47.660 lot of

00:48:47.840 people watch

00:48:48.280 my Twitter,

00:48:49.380 enough people,

00:48:50.760 a lot of

00:48:51.360 Congress

00:48:51.720 apparently watches

00:48:52.480 my periscopes,

00:48:54.640 I've learned.

00:48:56.020 So there

00:48:56.640 will be enough

00:48:57.180 people on

00:48:58.180 the left to

00:48:58.940 see this

00:48:59.400 challenge and

00:49:00.040 they will say

00:49:00.460 to themselves,

00:49:01.300 my God,

00:49:01.740 that's true.

00:49:03.060 That is true,

00:49:03.760 right?

00:49:04.380 Does anybody

00:49:05.060 disagree with

00:49:07.640 this statement?

00:49:08.240 that if the

00:49:09.700 media ran

00:49:10.300 just five

00:49:11.280 profiles of

00:49:12.080 somebody who

00:49:12.480 died on

00:49:13.340 the drug

00:49:13.760 that Trump

00:49:15.300 seems to

00:49:15.760 like,

00:49:16.840 that would

00:49:17.320 be sort of

00:49:17.880 the end

00:49:18.140 of him.

00:49:19.260 Because the

00:49:19.880 coronavirus is

00:49:20.580 the big

00:49:20.980 story,

00:49:21.440 it's going

00:49:21.700 to determine

00:49:22.380 the election.

00:49:23.640 So if you

00:49:24.100 don't see any

00:49:24.980 of those in

00:49:25.600 the next

00:49:25.940 month,

00:49:28.040 that might

00:49:29.680 tell you

00:49:29.980 something.

00:49:30.800 It doesn't

00:49:31.260 tell you it

00:49:31.680 works,

00:49:32.840 because the

00:49:34.320 lack of

00:49:35.160 evidence is

00:49:35.740 not proof of

00:49:36.320 something.

00:49:36.580 But it

00:49:38.280 would certainly

00:49:38.840 push me a

00:49:39.620 lot further

00:49:40.220 into the

00:49:40.840 there might

00:49:41.640 be something

00:49:42.020 here category.

00:49:43.100 I would

00:49:43.460 raise my

00:49:43.920 50% estimate.

00:49:45.880 So this

00:49:46.160 will just

00:49:46.420 be fun to

00:49:46.920 see if

00:49:47.140 anybody can

00:49:47.620 rise to

00:49:48.780 the challenge.

00:49:49.380 And by

00:49:49.680 the way,

00:49:50.780 I wouldn't

00:49:52.000 say I would

00:49:52.420 be just as

00:49:53.060 happy,

00:49:53.700 but I

00:49:53.920 would feel

00:49:55.800 like I had

00:49:56.320 done a

00:49:56.840 service for

00:49:57.600 the country

00:49:58.040 if those

00:49:59.060 five people

00:49:59.580 do appear.

00:50:00.800 Because don't

00:50:01.500 you want to

00:50:01.920 know?

00:50:02.960 I mean,

00:50:03.200 it's kind

00:50:03.600 of important.

00:50:04.120 You kind

00:50:05.700 of want

00:50:05.940 to know

00:50:06.140 if the

00:50:06.380 hydroxychloroquine

00:50:07.300 works.

00:50:08.420 I kind

00:50:08.880 of want

00:50:09.080 to know

00:50:09.280 the answer.

00:50:10.140 So even

00:50:10.420 if the

00:50:10.700 answer is

00:50:11.080 not the

00:50:11.400 one I

00:50:11.680 want,

00:50:12.860 I kind

00:50:13.220 of want

00:50:13.420 to know

00:50:13.600 the answer,

00:50:14.240 even if

00:50:14.600 it changes

00:50:14.980 the election,

00:50:15.900 because it's

00:50:16.380 that important.

00:50:18.160 All right.

00:50:22.120 Andy

00:50:22.520 Noe

00:50:23.040 tweeted

00:50:23.600 this little

00:50:25.060 fact.

00:50:25.680 If you're

00:50:25.940 not following

00:50:26.360 him to

00:50:27.460 watch all

00:50:28.340 the protest

00:50:28.940 action and

00:50:29.580 video,

00:50:30.340 you're missing

00:50:30.800 a lot.

00:50:31.240 So it's

00:50:31.440 Andy

00:50:31.760 Noe,

00:50:32.260 N-G-O.

00:50:33.220 And he

00:50:35.260 tweeted that

00:50:35.840 according to

00:50:36.280 a law

00:50:36.540 enforcement

00:50:36.920 source,

00:50:37.440 there have

00:50:37.620 been 22

00:50:38.440 homicides in

00:50:39.420 Portland since

00:50:40.620 June 1st.

00:50:41.620 So that's

00:50:42.400 seven weeks,

00:50:43.680 22 murders.

00:50:45.920 In all of

00:50:46.960 last year,

00:50:47.460 there were

00:50:47.640 only 36.

00:50:49.460 So we've

00:50:50.100 got 22

00:50:50.700 murders in

00:50:51.300 seven weeks

00:50:52.040 compared to

00:50:53.360 a full year,

00:50:54.160 which would

00:50:54.440 typically be

00:50:55.060 36.

00:50:56.600 And then he

00:50:57.340 said that the

00:50:58.020 mayor, Ted

00:50:58.740 Wheeler,

00:50:59.300 dismantled the

00:51:00.080 gun violence

00:51:00.800 reduction team

00:51:01.780 because he and

00:51:02.940 others said

00:51:03.440 it was

00:51:03.660 unfair to

00:51:04.260 blacks.

00:51:06.460 Now, are

00:51:07.400 you seeing a

00:51:08.000 pattern here?

00:51:09.920 I'm seeing in

00:51:10.920 your comments

00:51:11.460 people saying

00:51:12.180 that Herman

00:51:12.640 Cain died.

00:51:14.000 So I don't

00:51:14.640 know about that

00:51:15.120 story, but we'll

00:51:15.700 look into it

00:51:16.160 later.

00:51:16.760 But people are

00:51:17.360 saying it in

00:51:17.760 the comments.

00:51:18.260 So you don't

00:51:18.560 have to say it

00:51:19.060 again.

00:51:20.000 I just said

00:51:20.660 that so you

00:51:21.000 don't have to.

00:51:24.020 So here's the

00:51:24.800 pattern.

00:51:26.080 It looks like

00:51:27.140 if this rate

00:51:28.260 continued of

00:51:29.260 this number of

00:51:29.800 homicides, you

00:51:30.440 would have some,

00:51:31.080 you know, if

00:51:32.600 you assume that

00:51:33.480 there's some

00:51:34.520 breakdown of

00:51:35.240 how many black

00:51:35.860 people are

00:51:36.340 getting killed

00:51:36.840 by murder and

00:51:38.080 white people,

00:51:38.580 et cetera, if

00:51:39.300 it's typical of

00:51:40.460 a big city,

00:51:42.660 hundreds of

00:51:43.640 black people

00:51:44.320 will be

00:51:44.800 murdered because

00:51:46.740 the mayor

00:51:47.880 dismantled the

00:51:48.780 gun violence

00:51:49.360 reduction team

00:51:50.220 because it was

00:51:51.760 unfair to the

00:51:53.160 black people,

00:51:54.800 hundreds of

00:51:55.420 which would be

00:51:55.980 murdered by this

00:51:56.920 change.

00:51:57.300 Now, I'm

00:52:00.000 pro-gun.

00:52:01.260 I'm pro-Second

00:52:02.160 Amendment.

00:52:03.240 So I don't

00:52:04.440 have, I guess

00:52:07.020 I don't have a

00:52:07.740 philosophical

00:52:08.400 problem with

00:52:09.760 not taking guns

00:52:11.320 away from

00:52:11.680 people.

00:52:13.300 But I'm just

00:52:14.720 not sure that

00:52:15.640 the black

00:52:17.740 citizens in

00:52:18.460 this country

00:52:18.980 are getting,

00:52:21.060 are really

00:52:21.540 getting any

00:52:22.740 favors from the

00:52:23.780 white people in

00:52:24.360 this country who

00:52:25.020 are literally

00:52:25.500 trying to help

00:52:26.280 them and doing

00:52:26.860 all the wrong

00:52:27.440 things.

00:52:28.680 Now, this

00:52:29.300 story reminded

00:52:30.480 me, so Ted

00:52:31.760 Wheeler's a

00:52:32.280 white guy

00:52:32.700 trying to help

00:52:33.760 the black

00:52:34.120 community,

00:52:34.660 probably means

00:52:35.360 it, probably

00:52:36.500 means well.

00:52:37.440 I have no

00:52:37.940 reason to think

00:52:38.560 he means

00:52:39.680 anything bad.

00:52:41.840 So he thinks

00:52:43.060 he's doing a

00:52:43.560 good thing and

00:52:44.200 it probably

00:52:44.620 ended up in

00:52:45.180 the murder

00:52:45.620 of hundreds,

00:52:47.780 murder,

00:52:49.200 murder of

00:52:49.960 hundreds of

00:52:50.880 his citizens

00:52:51.460 that didn't

00:52:51.860 need to get

00:52:52.240 murdered.

00:52:53.160 But he

00:52:53.660 protected the

00:52:54.960 feelings of

00:52:55.640 some people,

00:52:56.560 and I

00:52:56.720 guess that's

00:52:57.120 good too.

00:52:58.580 But this

00:52:59.160 reminds me of,

00:53:00.800 is it my

00:53:01.420 imagination or

00:53:02.380 have white

00:53:03.140 women completely

00:53:04.040 ruined the

00:53:04.780 Black Lives

00:53:05.400 Matter movement?

00:53:08.480 Is that just

00:53:10.800 my imagination?

00:53:12.020 Because I keep

00:53:12.680 seeing more

00:53:13.160 videos of

00:53:14.320 actual real

00:53:16.180 black people

00:53:16.860 yelling at

00:53:18.420 white people

00:53:19.140 who are trying

00:53:20.460 to help them,

00:53:21.220 but they're not

00:53:21.700 helping them at

00:53:22.260 all.

00:53:22.460 like the

00:53:24.280 white girls

00:53:25.700 who are

00:53:25.960 graffitiing

00:53:26.740 Black Lives

00:53:27.280 Matter on

00:53:28.300 a business

00:53:28.820 and the

00:53:29.820 black citizens

00:53:31.080 are back there

00:53:31.660 saying,

00:53:32.320 don't do that.

00:53:33.560 That's just

00:53:33.940 going to look

00:53:34.280 bad for us.

00:53:35.340 You're not

00:53:35.700 even black.

00:53:36.480 Why are you

00:53:36.860 writing Black

00:53:37.340 Lives Matter

00:53:37.800 on a building?

00:53:39.000 They're going

00:53:39.360 to assume

00:53:39.640 it's us

00:53:40.160 in the right.

00:53:42.500 So just

00:53:43.580 over and over

00:53:44.280 again,

00:53:45.220 and if you're

00:53:46.020 watching the

00:53:46.540 arrests,

00:53:48.120 correct me if I'm

00:53:48.900 wrong,

00:53:49.240 it's all white

00:53:49.780 people getting

00:53:50.200 arrested,

00:53:51.000 right?

00:53:52.140 Whenever you

00:53:52.800 see these

00:53:53.180 arrest things,

00:53:54.540 I guess there

00:53:55.260 have been some

00:53:55.900 black people

00:53:57.000 arrested,

00:53:57.460 but it feels

00:53:57.800 like it's

00:53:58.100 mostly white

00:53:58.620 people.

00:53:59.720 And it's

00:54:00.320 just making

00:54:00.780 the whole

00:54:01.100 Black Lives

00:54:01.660 movement,

00:54:03.720 it's just

00:54:05.000 ruining it.

00:54:05.800 It's completely

00:54:06.480 ruining it.

00:54:07.560 And when you

00:54:09.160 see black

00:54:09.720 people complain

00:54:10.600 that anything

00:54:11.780 that they do

00:54:12.400 that's good

00:54:12.940 gets ruined

00:54:13.680 by white

00:54:14.220 people,

00:54:14.740 the first time

00:54:15.880 you hear that

00:54:16.380 you say,

00:54:16.760 well,

00:54:17.060 that's not

00:54:18.200 true.

00:54:18.600 it's not

00:54:19.860 true that

00:54:20.360 everything good

00:54:21.180 that black

00:54:21.620 people do,

00:54:22.660 some white

00:54:23.200 person's going

00:54:23.700 to come steal

00:54:24.320 it or ruin

00:54:24.900 it.

00:54:25.060 That's not

00:54:25.520 true.

00:54:26.320 And then you

00:54:26.640 look at all

00:54:27.040 the examples

00:54:27.580 and you go,

00:54:28.740 eh,

00:54:29.580 eh,

00:54:30.080 it's a little

00:54:32.040 bit true.

00:54:33.100 It's not

00:54:33.520 maybe 100%

00:54:34.260 true,

00:54:34.640 but it's

00:54:35.140 true-ish.

00:54:36.980 It's got

00:54:37.380 some truth

00:54:37.920 to it.

00:54:41.340 Trump had

00:54:42.000 a couple

00:54:42.300 of interesting

00:54:42.960 executive orders,

00:54:44.160 which is one

00:54:44.800 of his

00:54:45.060 advantages he

00:54:45.820 has because

00:54:46.220 he's in

00:54:46.520 office,

00:54:46.940 so he can

00:54:47.240 actually do

00:54:47.720 stuff,

00:54:48.440 whereas Biden

00:54:49.040 can talk

00:54:49.560 about stuff.

00:54:50.980 But Trump

00:54:51.400 can do

00:54:51.720 stuff,

00:54:52.020 and he

00:54:52.180 did two

00:54:52.660 interesting

00:54:53.200 things.

00:54:54.600 One of

00:54:55.160 them,

00:54:55.360 he said he

00:54:55.700 was happy

00:54:56.100 to inform

00:54:56.640 all the

00:54:57.080 people living

00:54:57.560 in their

00:54:57.920 suburban

00:54:58.360 lifestyle

00:54:58.900 dream,

00:54:59.940 which is

00:55:00.320 just a

00:55:00.760 great phrase

00:55:01.360 coming from

00:55:02.740 the president,

00:55:03.660 that you

00:55:03.880 will no

00:55:04.180 longer be

00:55:04.620 bothered or

00:55:05.280 financially

00:55:05.780 hurt by

00:55:06.320 having low

00:55:06.780 income

00:55:07.040 housing built

00:55:08.240 in your

00:55:08.460 neighborhood.

00:55:08.940 So he

00:55:09.140 signed an

00:55:09.600 executive

00:55:10.020 order

00:55:10.360 overturning

00:55:12.600 some Obama

00:55:13.240 rule that

00:55:13.780 required low

00:55:15.160 income housing

00:55:15.720 in the suburbs.

00:55:16.400 Now,

00:55:18.400 here's the

00:55:19.040 important part

00:55:19.620 of that.

00:55:21.060 Would this

00:55:21.720 have been

00:55:22.100 possible before

00:55:23.480 the protests?

00:55:25.140 Do you

00:55:25.540 think that

00:55:26.020 Trump could

00:55:27.700 have gotten

00:55:28.540 away,

00:55:29.380 I don't know

00:55:29.860 if he'll get

00:55:30.200 away with it

00:55:30.620 yet,

00:55:30.860 but he's

00:55:31.460 trying,

00:55:32.500 do you think

00:55:32.900 he'll get

00:55:33.260 away with an

00:55:33.920 executive order

00:55:34.720 banning low

00:55:35.620 income housing

00:55:36.420 in the suburbs

00:55:38.540 today?

00:55:39.940 And the

00:55:41.220 answer is

00:55:41.640 yes.

00:55:42.900 The answer

00:55:43.480 is yes.

00:55:44.640 He could

00:55:44.980 get away

00:55:45.360 with it.

00:55:46.100 But could

00:55:46.620 he have

00:55:46.860 gotten away

00:55:47.300 with it

00:55:47.620 a year ago?

00:55:49.160 Here's why.

00:55:50.020 I don't

00:55:50.340 think he

00:55:50.660 could.

00:55:51.080 A year

00:55:51.440 ago,

00:55:52.000 if you

00:55:52.340 had seen

00:55:52.680 that the

00:55:53.040 president

00:55:53.420 wanted to

00:55:54.340 strike down

00:55:56.180 low income

00:55:56.980 housing

00:55:57.500 requirements,

00:55:58.740 what would

00:55:59.060 you think

00:55:59.340 of that?

00:56:00.180 A year

00:56:00.740 ago,

00:56:01.020 you would

00:56:01.220 have said,

00:56:02.240 well,

00:56:02.460 no,

00:56:02.800 why can't

00:56:04.480 we help

00:56:05.120 the low

00:56:05.460 income

00:56:05.720 people?

00:56:07.860 Everybody's

00:56:08.300 got to live

00:56:08.660 in the

00:56:08.880 town.

00:56:09.220 I mean,

00:56:09.600 the town

00:56:09.900 isn't going

00:56:10.300 to be all

00:56:10.660 prosperous

00:56:11.160 people,

00:56:12.060 right?

00:56:12.260 If the

00:56:12.540 town has

00:56:12.980 restaurants,

00:56:14.300 you need

00:56:14.660 restaurant

00:56:15.100 workers,

00:56:15.720 they have

00:56:15.940 to live

00:56:16.220 somewhere,

00:56:17.100 you've got

00:56:17.400 senior

00:56:17.660 citizens.

00:56:18.680 So of

00:56:19.020 course you

00:56:19.420 want some

00:56:19.940 low income

00:56:20.460 housing around

00:56:21.440 your suburban

00:56:22.100 area.

00:56:22.720 It's just

00:56:23.120 fair.

00:56:24.040 It kind

00:56:24.360 of makes

00:56:24.600 sense,

00:56:25.300 right?

00:56:25.680 So that's

00:56:26.140 what you

00:56:26.360 would have

00:56:26.560 thought a

00:56:26.820 year ago.

00:56:27.720 And you

00:56:28.180 would have

00:56:28.360 said,

00:56:28.680 that sounds

00:56:29.300 a little

00:56:29.500 racist.

00:56:31.100 Sounds a

00:56:31.860 little bit

00:56:32.300 racist,

00:56:32.680 because you're

00:56:33.240 saying low

00:56:33.860 income housing,

00:56:34.840 but maybe you're

00:56:35.440 thinking people

00:56:36.340 of color.

00:56:37.260 Is that what

00:56:39.220 it would

00:56:39.760 look like

00:56:40.140 a year

00:56:40.440 ago?

00:56:42.020 What's it

00:56:42.480 look like

00:56:42.780 today?

00:56:44.200 Today it

00:56:44.740 looks like

00:56:45.020 the best

00:56:45.360 idea you

00:56:45.820 ever heard,

00:56:46.740 because the

00:56:48.180 protests are

00:56:49.620 making it

00:56:50.200 seem, and

00:56:51.440 again, it's

00:56:51.820 how you feel,

00:56:52.680 it's what you

00:56:53.680 think is true,

00:56:54.380 it's not what's

00:56:54.900 true that

00:56:55.220 matters, it's

00:56:55.760 just what you

00:56:56.220 think is true.

00:56:57.460 And when you

00:56:57.900 watch the

00:56:58.360 protests, what

00:56:59.600 you think is,

00:57:00.900 I need to get

00:57:01.840 as far away from

00:57:02.760 that group of

00:57:03.420 people as I

00:57:03.960 can.

00:57:05.380 Young people

00:57:06.080 without much

00:57:06.760 money.

00:57:08.000 Let's just

00:57:08.540 call it that.

00:57:09.240 Youngish people

00:57:10.000 without much

00:57:11.140 money, because

00:57:12.120 they look

00:57:12.420 dangerous.

00:57:13.580 They're protesting,

00:57:14.560 they're lighting

00:57:15.060 stuff on fire,

00:57:15.960 they got purple

00:57:17.240 hair, my

00:57:17.960 God, purple

00:57:18.860 hair.

00:57:19.980 I like purple

00:57:20.620 hair, but

00:57:21.100 somebody's going

00:57:22.220 to say something

00:57:22.680 like that.

00:57:23.860 So, Trump

00:57:25.100 is so good at

00:57:26.500 picking up free

00:57:27.180 money, I always

00:57:28.260 say that about

00:57:28.840 him, and

00:57:29.900 because of the

00:57:30.780 protests, this

00:57:32.280 low income

00:57:32.780 housing executive

00:57:33.680 order became

00:57:34.720 free money.

00:57:36.000 It was like a

00:57:36.580 pile of money

00:57:37.160 just sitting on

00:57:38.460 the table,

00:57:39.040 and all he

00:57:39.540 had to do

00:57:39.880 is walk by

00:57:40.460 and say,

00:57:41.700 is this money,

00:57:42.380 does this belong

00:57:43.080 to anybody?

00:57:45.160 No?

00:57:45.560 All right,

00:57:45.780 it's my money.

00:57:47.000 And just pick

00:57:47.380 it up.

00:57:48.080 And he did.

00:57:49.760 I think this

00:57:50.520 was, in terms

00:57:51.460 of timing,

00:57:52.760 this was the

00:57:53.360 best timing you've

00:57:54.400 ever seen for

00:57:55.100 an executive

00:57:55.540 order.

00:57:56.360 I mean, I just

00:57:58.200 laughed when I

00:57:58.880 saw it, I was

00:57:59.140 like, oh my

00:57:59.640 God, that's just

00:58:00.240 perfect.

00:58:01.800 Independent of

00:58:02.520 what you think

00:58:03.060 about the idea,

00:58:03.880 the politics of

00:58:05.580 it, is

00:58:06.600 perfect.

00:58:08.040 Then, after

00:58:09.120 this, the

00:58:10.180 CEOs of the

00:58:11.000 tech companies

00:58:11.600 did their

00:58:12.180 hearing, he

00:58:14.860 does another

00:58:15.460 executive order

00:58:16.900 directed to the

00:58:17.740 FCC to

00:58:18.460 implement

00:58:19.000 preventing

00:58:20.620 online

00:58:21.200 censorship to

00:58:22.460 limit Section

00:58:23.340 230.

00:58:24.080 So I don't

00:58:24.380 know the

00:58:24.640 details of that

00:58:25.280 yet.

00:58:25.620 I'm not sure

00:58:26.040 there are

00:58:26.320 details.

00:58:27.540 But the

00:58:28.500 president just

00:58:29.080 said, how

00:58:29.760 about I

00:58:30.040 use my

00:58:30.400 executive

00:58:30.800 order and

00:58:32.300 just tell

00:58:33.520 them they

00:58:33.880 have to

00:58:34.480 stop

00:58:35.800 discriminating.

00:58:37.860 Who exactly

00:58:38.800 can argue

00:58:39.420 against that?

00:58:40.760 Is there

00:58:41.100 anybody on

00:58:41.540 the other

00:58:41.800 side of

00:58:42.160 that?

00:58:43.080 Is he

00:58:43.660 going to

00:58:43.880 force the

00:58:44.320 Democrats

00:58:44.780 to say,

00:58:45.720 no, we

00:58:46.840 don't want

00:58:47.320 freedom of

00:58:47.820 speech.

00:58:48.680 There's

00:58:48.980 nothing you

00:58:49.400 can do

00:58:49.680 about it.

00:58:50.480 Now, I

00:58:50.740 don't know

00:58:51.000 if this

00:58:51.280 executive

00:58:51.680 order will

00:58:52.120 have any

00:58:52.600 impact,

00:58:53.580 but it

00:58:53.880 does put

00:58:54.280 pressure on

00:58:55.200 the tech

00:58:55.500 companies.

00:58:56.720 And a

00:58:56.920 lot of

00:58:57.280 Trump's

00:58:57.840 base had

00:58:58.720 been screaming

00:58:59.460 for months

00:59:00.140 that he

00:59:01.020 wasn't doing

00:59:01.480 enough to

00:59:02.460 protect the

00:59:03.000 base, their

00:59:04.040 voices and

00:59:05.040 keep them

00:59:05.840 on the

00:59:06.100 platforms,

00:59:06.780 etc.

00:59:07.700 And I

00:59:08.300 don't know

00:59:08.540 if this

00:59:08.840 is enough,

00:59:09.720 but it's

00:59:10.120 a lot.

00:59:11.560 An executive

00:59:12.180 order from

00:59:12.760 the president

00:59:13.240 to prevent

00:59:14.520 online censorship,

00:59:15.660 that's a lot.

00:59:17.300 I don't know

00:59:17.760 how it will

00:59:18.060 play out,

00:59:18.660 but it's

00:59:19.180 not nothing,

00:59:20.220 it's a lot.

00:59:22.880 All right.

00:59:24.840 When you

00:59:25.380 try to figure

00:59:25.900 out who the

00:59:26.400 liars are in

00:59:27.240 this world,

00:59:28.520 it seems like

00:59:29.240 it's getting

00:59:29.560 easier and

00:59:30.100 easier.

00:59:31.100 Now, NBC

00:59:31.720 news used

00:59:33.000 to be

00:59:33.280 something like

00:59:33.860 a news

00:59:34.620 business,

00:59:35.460 but now I

00:59:36.000 think everybody

00:59:36.480 agrees it's

00:59:37.320 something else.

00:59:39.840 I don't know

00:59:40.500 what it is.

00:59:41.280 It's either

00:59:41.860 a CIA

00:59:43.300 front or

00:59:44.800 I don't

00:59:46.240 know,

00:59:46.660 but whatever

00:59:47.300 it is,

00:59:47.860 they don't

00:59:48.420 seem to try

00:59:49.020 too hard to

00:59:49.840 get the news

00:59:50.400 right.

00:59:51.680 They're more

00:59:52.400 like the

00:59:52.760 National

00:59:53.120 Enquirer of

00:59:53.940 News at

00:59:54.340 this point.

00:59:55.520 So NBC's

00:59:56.400 Andrea Mitchell

00:59:57.140 was interviewing

00:59:58.000 Dr.

00:59:58.580 Fauci.

00:59:59.240 And, of

01:00:00.100 course,

01:00:00.500 asked about

01:00:01.400 hydroxychloroquine.

01:00:03.600 And Fauci

01:00:04.080 gave this

01:00:05.440 answer,

01:00:06.200 which is that

01:00:06.800 all of the

01:00:07.520 gold standard

01:00:08.480 clinical trials,

01:00:09.660 the only ones

01:00:10.220 that really can

01:00:10.860 tell you if

01:00:11.220 something works

01:00:11.740 or not,

01:00:12.700 have shown it

01:00:13.440 has no

01:00:13.860 effect.

01:00:15.580 And that it

01:00:16.240 might even be

01:00:16.720 harmful.

01:00:17.640 Now, is that

01:00:18.540 a lie?

01:00:20.120 No.

01:00:20.720 No, that's

01:00:21.160 completely 100%

01:00:22.620 true.

01:00:22.940 The only

01:00:24.160 high-end

01:00:25.740 with controls

01:00:28.200 and placebo

01:00:30.080 and all that,

01:00:30.980 the only

01:00:31.300 high-end

01:00:31.660 studies did

01:00:32.920 show that

01:00:33.440 it didn't

01:00:33.740 work.

01:00:34.740 But,

01:00:35.320 what did

01:00:36.440 Andrea Mitchell

01:00:37.260 and NBC

01:00:38.100 and Dr.

01:00:39.040 Fauci

01:00:39.380 leave out?

01:00:41.360 Because there's

01:00:42.160 a lie by

01:00:42.900 omission here.

01:00:44.380 Here's what's

01:00:45.000 left out.

01:00:46.120 The trials

01:00:46.880 that didn't

01:00:47.480 work were

01:00:48.460 when they

01:00:48.880 tested the

01:00:49.580 wrong thing.

01:00:50.740 They tested

01:00:51.440 hospitalized

01:00:52.100 patients who

01:00:53.660 were near

01:00:54.000 death, who

01:00:55.100 already had

01:00:55.620 the psychotone

01:00:56.580 storm or

01:00:57.940 whatever it

01:00:58.300 is, their

01:00:58.660 immune system

01:00:59.400 had gone

01:00:59.760 wild, which

01:01:00.880 is not what

01:01:01.560 the hydroxychloroquine

01:01:02.760 is supposed to

01:01:03.600 work on.

01:01:04.520 Because the

01:01:05.420 infection has

01:01:07.100 two phases.

01:01:08.140 When the

01:01:08.740 infection grows,

01:01:09.880 and then the

01:01:10.360 dangerous part is

01:01:11.180 if it causes

01:01:11.700 your immune

01:01:12.220 system to go

01:01:12.900 crazy.

01:01:13.840 Nobody thinks

01:01:14.720 that the

01:01:16.040 hydroxychloroquine

01:01:16.920 is for that

01:01:17.440 second part.

01:01:18.800 But that's

01:01:19.260 what they

01:01:19.540 studied.

01:01:20.980 So, if the

01:01:22.180 only thing you

01:01:22.720 studied was

01:01:23.480 the wrong

01:01:24.080 thing, should

01:01:25.780 you go on

01:01:26.280 TV and say

01:01:26.960 the studies

01:01:27.520 show it

01:01:27.940 doesn't work

01:01:28.660 for the

01:01:29.860 thing that

01:01:30.200 didn't get

01:01:30.580 studied?

01:01:31.720 Because when

01:01:32.440 they study the

01:01:33.100 other stuff,

01:01:34.340 these are not

01:01:35.020 as high-quality

01:01:35.820 studies.

01:01:36.720 So even

01:01:37.120 though there

01:01:37.480 are a lot

01:01:37.900 of them,

01:01:38.500 you don't

01:01:38.720 have to

01:01:40.220 tweet me

01:01:40.740 yet another

01:01:41.740 study about

01:01:43.780 hydroxychloroquine

01:01:44.760 working if you

01:01:45.780 get it early.

01:01:46.840 I've seen

01:01:47.440 them.

01:01:47.660 There are a lot

01:01:48.040 of them.

01:01:48.840 But they all

01:01:49.280 have the

01:01:49.560 same quality.

01:01:51.000 They're not

01:01:51.380 a gold

01:01:51.660 standard,

01:01:52.500 double-blind

01:01:54.720 sort of

01:01:55.340 test.

01:01:56.440 So,

01:01:56.940 it doesn't

01:01:57.840 matter how

01:01:58.320 many there

01:01:58.820 are, they

01:02:00.160 don't add

01:02:00.660 up to

01:02:00.980 credibility.

01:02:02.180 There could

01:02:02.520 be hundreds

01:02:02.940 of them.

01:02:03.920 They still

01:02:04.380 wouldn't mean

01:02:04.720 anything.

01:02:05.660 That's why

01:02:06.460 you have the

01:02:07.800 gold standard

01:02:08.380 study.

01:02:09.100 The whole

01:02:09.740 point of

01:02:10.860 the gold

01:02:11.280 standard

01:02:11.840 kind of

01:02:12.920 study,

01:02:13.340 clinical trial,

01:02:14.380 is that all

01:02:15.480 of the other

01:02:15.940 things don't

01:02:16.840 work.

01:02:17.760 If they

01:02:18.380 did,

01:02:19.720 then that's

01:02:21.380 all you'd

01:02:21.680 need to do.

01:02:22.140 You'd never

01:02:22.480 have to do

01:02:22.940 the other

01:02:23.200 kind.

01:02:24.200 Now, is

01:02:24.800 it true that

01:02:25.460 the more

01:02:26.080 studies you

01:02:26.680 have that

01:02:27.860 look at it

01:02:28.320 from different

01:02:28.800 angles, even

01:02:29.520 if they're not

01:02:30.000 100% quality

01:02:31.880 studies, if

01:02:32.620 you have

01:02:32.840 lots and

01:02:33.200 lots of

01:02:33.500 them, does

01:02:33.780 that eventually

01:02:34.360 tell you that

01:02:35.700 you should use

01:02:36.700 it?

01:02:37.880 Here's my

01:02:38.480 take.

01:02:39.260 Then it

01:02:39.600 becomes a

01:02:40.120 risk management

01:02:41.120 decision.

01:02:42.360 Then you say

01:02:42.900 to yourself,

01:02:43.420 well, there's

01:02:45.100 a good chance

01:02:45.620 it could work,

01:02:46.600 and there's

01:02:47.140 almost no

01:02:47.700 chance it'll

01:02:48.140 hurt you.

01:02:49.180 So, it

01:02:49.960 doesn't cost

01:02:50.480 much, won't

01:02:51.800 hurt you,

01:02:52.800 might work,

01:02:54.600 let's try it.

01:02:55.640 So, you'd

01:02:56.100 end up in the

01:02:56.620 same place of

01:02:58.020 trying it

01:02:58.680 without that

01:03:00.280 certainty.

01:03:01.880 So, here's

01:03:02.820 my point.

01:03:03.940 I don't

01:03:04.460 believe there's

01:03:04.960 any way that

01:03:05.760 Dr. Fauci

01:03:06.520 doesn't know

01:03:07.340 what I just

01:03:08.020 said, right?

01:03:09.260 You'd agree

01:03:10.000 that he knows

01:03:11.220 everything I

01:03:11.820 know, and

01:03:12.900 lots more.

01:03:13.940 So, there

01:03:14.440 should be

01:03:14.780 nothing I

01:03:15.340 know that's

01:03:16.000 this basic

01:03:16.780 that he

01:03:17.800 doesn't already

01:03:18.500 know.

01:03:19.340 And he

01:03:19.820 knows that

01:03:20.600 when he

01:03:20.860 says it's

01:03:21.320 been tested

01:03:21.860 and didn't

01:03:22.760 work, he

01:03:23.600 knows he's

01:03:24.280 talking about

01:03:24.760 the wrong

01:03:25.220 thing.

01:03:26.540 In the

01:03:27.080 beginning, you

01:03:27.800 could say,

01:03:28.320 well, he

01:03:29.740 chose to

01:03:30.340 focus on this,

01:03:31.460 or he

01:03:31.740 likes to

01:03:32.320 talk about

01:03:32.720 the high

01:03:33.740 quality

01:03:34.180 trials, but

01:03:36.300 he uses

01:03:36.900 those as an

01:03:37.660 example of

01:03:38.340 how the

01:03:38.680 completely

01:03:39.160 other thing

01:03:40.000 won't work,

01:03:41.500 and that

01:03:41.880 has not

01:03:43.080 been tested

01:03:43.660 in those

01:03:44.220 same kind

01:03:44.640 of trials.

01:03:45.480 And when

01:03:45.840 they do

01:03:46.080 test, it

01:03:46.500 looks like

01:03:46.800 it works

01:03:47.140 in the

01:03:48.360 lesser

01:03:48.580 trials.

01:03:50.080 So, I

01:03:51.560 would say

01:03:51.880 that yesterday

01:03:52.720 when I saw

01:03:53.400 this was my

01:03:54.140 departure point

01:03:55.180 for Dr.

01:03:56.140 Fauci.

01:03:56.480 So, I

01:03:57.080 like to

01:03:57.380 give everybody

01:03:57.900 maximum

01:03:59.140 benefit of

01:03:59.980 a doubt.

01:04:00.620 I don't

01:04:01.180 like to

01:04:01.480 do the

01:04:01.740 mind reading

01:04:02.220 where you

01:04:02.520 say, well,

01:04:02.960 I think

01:04:03.340 you're lying,

01:04:04.020 or I

01:04:04.660 think you

01:04:04.920 have some

01:04:05.920 interest or

01:04:06.520 something.

01:04:07.280 I'd rather

01:04:07.900 give everybody

01:04:08.500 the benefit

01:04:08.900 of a doubt,

01:04:09.320 because usually

01:04:09.740 that's right.

01:04:11.300 But, I

01:04:13.160 can't anymore.

01:04:14.240 I can't

01:04:14.860 anymore.

01:04:15.580 This is just

01:04:16.120 so obviously

01:04:16.900 a lie, and

01:04:18.700 it's a really

01:04:19.100 important one.

01:04:20.860 This isn't

01:04:21.560 some small

01:04:24.600 thing.

01:04:25.000 This is

01:04:25.280 important.

01:04:27.240 And he

01:04:27.560 lied about

01:04:27.920 it.

01:04:28.300 And NBC

01:04:28.740 did too,

01:04:29.360 so don't

01:04:29.820 trust them.

01:04:34.520 Here's an

01:04:35.380 interesting

01:04:35.800 thing.

01:04:36.720 I tweeted

01:04:37.440 just before I

01:04:38.200 got on,

01:04:38.680 I want to

01:04:38.880 see how many

01:04:39.200 retweets I

01:04:39.800 got in that,

01:04:40.720 that the

01:04:41.220 root of all

01:04:41.860 of our

01:04:42.120 problems,

01:04:42.860 and I'm

01:04:43.200 going to

01:04:43.320 say this

01:04:43.660 as many

01:04:44.180 times,

01:04:45.060 in as

01:04:45.460 many days

01:04:46.100 as it

01:04:46.500 takes until

01:04:47.260 it becomes

01:04:47.700 a thing,

01:04:49.160 that the

01:04:49.620 root of all

01:04:50.140 of our

01:04:50.400 current national

01:04:51.040 problems,

01:04:51.560 are the

01:04:51.860 teachers'

01:04:52.320 unions.

01:04:53.520 Now, if

01:04:54.140 that isn't

01:04:54.640 immediately

01:04:55.140 obvious to

01:04:55.800 you, let

01:04:57.060 me give

01:04:57.400 you some

01:04:57.720 examples.

01:04:58.900 1,500

01:04:59.480 retweets, so

01:05:00.320 people are

01:05:00.760 agreeing.

01:05:01.840 So this

01:05:02.240 was my

01:05:02.560 tweet.

01:05:02.820 I said,

01:05:02.980 most of

01:05:03.280 our

01:05:03.380 national

01:05:03.700 problems,

01:05:04.300 and then

01:05:04.520 I list

01:05:04.840 them.

01:05:05.420 Unemployment,

01:05:06.060 poverty,

01:05:06.500 systemic

01:05:06.860 racism,

01:05:07.720 the schools

01:05:08.320 closed,

01:05:08.880 the uptick

01:05:09.260 in suicide,

01:05:10.500 the crime,

01:05:11.340 drugs,

01:05:11.760 and even

01:05:12.100 Trump

01:05:12.420 derangement

01:05:12.900 syndrome,

01:05:13.780 are all

01:05:15.020 caused by

01:05:15.500 the teachers'

01:05:15.920 unions.

01:05:17.220 Because the

01:05:17.840 teachers'

01:05:18.140 unions restrict

01:05:19.360 competition for

01:05:20.960 schools,

01:05:21.560 so they're

01:05:23.420 the force

01:05:24.000 that stops

01:05:24.520 you from

01:05:24.860 having more

01:05:26.040 charter schools

01:05:26.940 and more private

01:05:28.100 schools and all

01:05:28.700 that.

01:05:29.900 And because they

01:05:31.200 restrict school

01:05:32.520 choice, that

01:05:33.460 means less

01:05:34.020 competition, and

01:05:36.040 it means that

01:05:37.120 people get bad

01:05:38.000 educations.

01:05:39.080 And if you live in a

01:05:40.040 poorer part of town,

01:05:41.180 you're definitely

01:05:42.080 going to get a bad

01:05:42.740 education.

01:05:43.220 education.

01:05:44.060 So, does

01:05:45.460 giving poor

01:05:46.160 people a bad

01:05:46.960 education, does

01:05:48.620 that increase

01:05:49.600 unemployment?

01:05:51.120 Yes.

01:05:51.860 Yes, it does.

01:05:52.900 Does giving poor

01:05:53.740 people a bad

01:05:54.420 education increase

01:05:55.480 poverty?

01:05:57.020 Yes.

01:05:57.700 Yes, it does.

01:05:58.980 Does giving poor

01:05:59.720 people a bad

01:06:00.220 education increase

01:06:01.940 systemic racism?

01:06:03.900 In a sense,

01:06:05.060 here's the way I

01:06:05.880 like to say it.

01:06:06.940 Systemic racism

01:06:07.900 exists, but it's

01:06:10.580 not going away.

01:06:11.320 It gets sort of

01:06:13.100 just baked into

01:06:13.780 everything and

01:06:14.420 everybody.

01:06:15.100 It's just sort of,

01:06:16.100 it's like the air.

01:06:17.740 But, if you have a

01:06:19.120 good education and

01:06:20.880 a good job, does

01:06:23.380 racism bother you

01:06:24.320 as much?

01:06:25.040 It's still there.

01:06:26.340 It still bothers

01:06:26.920 you.

01:06:27.720 But it's not stopping

01:06:28.740 your life from

01:06:29.500 succeeding, right?

01:06:30.800 So, if the

01:06:31.500 teachers' unions

01:06:32.260 could allow poor

01:06:34.180 kids and black

01:06:35.920 kids, in this

01:06:36.680 context, the black

01:06:38.060 kids, to get,

01:06:39.720 well, actually,

01:06:40.360 any person of

01:06:40.980 color, I

01:06:41.320 suppose, to get

01:06:43.180 a better

01:06:43.460 education, there

01:06:44.480 would still be

01:06:45.080 systemic racism,

01:06:46.180 but you wouldn't

01:06:46.580 notice it as

01:06:47.200 much.

01:06:48.140 There just

01:06:48.620 wouldn't be a

01:06:49.040 reason to

01:06:49.380 complain about

01:06:49.940 it.

01:06:50.180 It's like,

01:06:50.420 yeah, people

01:06:51.520 are jerks.

01:06:52.620 That's it.

01:06:53.140 People are jerks.

01:06:54.180 I got a good

01:06:54.640 job.

01:06:55.940 That's it.

01:06:56.940 How about

01:06:57.360 closed schools?

01:06:59.580 That's totally

01:07:00.440 the teachers'

01:07:01.400 unions and all

01:07:02.480 the problems

01:07:02.980 that the

01:07:03.300 closed schools

01:07:04.680 cause, including

01:07:05.660 an uptick in

01:07:06.320 suicide, teen

01:07:07.600 suicide going

01:07:08.340 through the roof,

01:07:09.320 teachers'

01:07:09.720 union, crime,

01:07:10.960 drugs, all

01:07:12.320 of those are

01:07:12.780 caused by

01:07:13.340 poverty, bad

01:07:14.320 education.

01:07:15.500 So basically, we

01:07:16.620 have essentially

01:07:17.720 one problem in

01:07:18.720 this country, the

01:07:20.780 teachers'

01:07:21.220 unions.

01:07:21.940 If you could

01:07:22.700 thwart them, fix

01:07:24.860 them, get them

01:07:25.740 out of the

01:07:26.040 picture or

01:07:26.480 whatever, and

01:07:27.520 fix education

01:07:28.540 for kids, all

01:07:30.560 of those other

01:07:31.200 problems start to

01:07:33.120 get solved within

01:07:34.340 a generation.

01:07:35.780 If you focus on

01:07:37.320 the exact wrong

01:07:38.800 thing, such as

01:07:40.440 the death of

01:07:41.080 George Floyd, as

01:07:42.180 tragic as it

01:07:43.160 was, if you

01:07:44.580 focus on the

01:07:45.360 entirely wrong

01:07:46.240 thing, literally

01:07:47.520 the smallest

01:07:48.400 problem in the

01:07:49.220 black community,

01:07:50.540 feels like the

01:07:51.660 biggest one, maybe,

01:07:53.380 but it's definitely

01:07:53.960 the smallest one.

01:07:55.060 Because if you

01:07:55.780 fix the George

01:07:56.780 Floyd problem,

01:07:57.580 let's say the

01:07:59.020 police officers get

01:07:59.980 found guilty and

01:08:00.640 go to jail.

01:08:01.060 I guess you

01:08:02.840 fixed your

01:08:03.860 structural racism,

01:08:06.180 right?

01:08:06.600 No, it wouldn't

01:08:07.400 fix anything.

01:08:08.540 It would be the

01:08:09.160 smallest thing, if

01:08:12.020 you're talking about

01:08:12.520 the entire community

01:08:13.680 of the country, the

01:08:15.540 black community in

01:08:16.240 particular, it would

01:08:16.840 be the smallest

01:08:17.420 thing.

01:08:18.400 But what if you

01:08:19.000 fixed education?

01:08:21.000 What if every

01:08:22.060 black kid was

01:08:23.540 just guaranteed, if

01:08:25.200 they wanted one, to

01:08:26.460 have a good

01:08:26.760 education, even if

01:08:28.240 they didn't have

01:08:28.780 two parents, even

01:08:30.280 if they weren't

01:08:30.800 rich, no matter

01:08:31.620 where they lived,

01:08:32.540 they definitely

01:08:33.220 get a good

01:08:33.680 education.

01:08:34.760 What's that fix?

01:08:36.180 That fixes

01:08:36.640 everything, basically.

01:08:40.000 So, teachers

01:08:42.240 unions are the

01:08:43.420 devil.

01:08:44.020 I might be saying

01:08:44.560 that a little

01:08:44.900 more.

01:08:46.200 The AP reports

01:08:48.480 that there's a

01:08:49.180 Russian disinformation

01:08:50.220 campaign going on

01:08:52.000 and that they're

01:08:52.700 spreading stories

01:08:53.540 on their websites

01:08:54.380 that are conspiracy

01:08:57.160 type theories to

01:08:58.380 mess things up in

01:09:00.580 the United States.

01:09:01.600 But here's the

01:09:02.140 thing.

01:09:02.380 I read some of

01:09:02.920 the examples.

01:09:03.940 I'd never heard

01:09:04.620 them before.

01:09:05.780 So apparently

01:09:06.300 there are these

01:09:06.940 Russian-made

01:09:07.740 conspiracy theories

01:09:08.920 on these obscure

01:09:10.460 websites.

01:09:11.200 None of these got

01:09:11.840 into any name

01:09:13.400 brand website.

01:09:14.820 They're like no

01:09:15.560 traffic websites

01:09:16.540 with these

01:09:19.840 ridiculous conspiracy

01:09:21.120 theories that I'd

01:09:22.080 never even heard

01:09:22.700 of and they look

01:09:23.360 ridiculous on the

01:09:24.100 surface.

01:09:24.400 I didn't even

01:09:25.200 remember them.

01:09:26.120 They're so

01:09:26.360 nothing.

01:09:28.060 And I realized

01:09:28.820 that the Russian

01:09:29.620 disinformation can't

01:09:31.840 pierce all of our

01:09:34.420 domestic disinformation.

01:09:37.340 There is so much

01:09:38.340 disinformation from

01:09:39.560 our own media that

01:09:41.920 you'd need a lot of

01:09:43.760 Russian disinformation

01:09:44.640 even to get noticed.

01:09:46.380 Because, you know,

01:09:47.160 when you think about

01:09:48.080 disinformation from a

01:09:49.440 foreign adversary,

01:09:51.900 your imagination goes

01:09:53.240 to, all right,

01:09:53.760 there's all our

01:09:54.340 good information.

01:09:55.680 There's this big

01:09:56.220 body of clean,

01:09:58.360 credible, good

01:09:59.140 information.

01:10:00.260 And then, damn,

01:10:01.080 those Russians,

01:10:02.340 they're putting this

01:10:03.180 little bit of wrong

01:10:04.900 information into our

01:10:05.900 good, clean information

01:10:07.360 that's ruining

01:10:08.360 everything.

01:10:09.760 Except nothing like

01:10:11.600 that's happening.

01:10:12.880 What's happening is

01:10:13.980 you've got a giant

01:10:14.960 turd and Russia is

01:10:17.680 flying over and

01:10:18.500 pooping on it like

01:10:19.240 a bird.

01:10:20.440 So you've added a

01:10:21.840 little bit of bird

01:10:22.660 turd.

01:10:23.760 to an eight-foot

01:10:24.660 pile of manure,

01:10:27.420 I guess that's

01:10:28.440 foreign interference.

01:10:29.920 But that bird turd

01:10:31.220 is not going to

01:10:31.920 penetrate eight feet

01:10:33.200 of disinformation

01:10:33.960 from our own media.

01:10:36.040 I mean, it's just,

01:10:37.260 good luck, Russia.

01:10:39.600 Russia, if you

01:10:40.560 could come up with

01:10:41.560 better disinformation

01:10:42.480 than CNN and

01:10:43.460 MSNBC, go ahead.

01:10:45.940 Knock yourself out.

01:10:47.860 All right.

01:10:48.540 Here's an interesting

01:10:51.700 factoid to throw in

01:10:53.700 the mix.

01:10:54.020 So, Dr. James

01:10:56.140 Todaro, he's one of

01:10:57.740 the front-line doctors

01:10:58.900 who was pro-

01:11:01.060 hydroxychloroquine.

01:11:02.880 But he's, I find him

01:11:04.600 to be the most

01:11:05.280 credible of the bunch.

01:11:06.640 And especially, he's

01:11:08.200 the most credible on

01:11:09.640 the topic of

01:11:14.220 hydroxychloroquine

01:11:15.380 being suppressed.

01:11:16.280 So, there's two

01:11:18.240 questions.

01:11:18.800 One is, does it work?

01:11:20.800 Which he thinks it

01:11:21.540 does.

01:11:22.240 And then the other

01:11:23.000 question is, is

01:11:23.760 somebody trying to

01:11:24.520 suppress it?

01:11:25.360 I would say his

01:11:25.980 argument that it's

01:11:26.960 being suppressed is

01:11:28.340 really strong.

01:11:29.500 His argument that it

01:11:30.540 works, I could be

01:11:32.780 convinced, but I'm not

01:11:33.620 quite there yet.

01:11:34.960 So, here's what he

01:11:36.360 tweeted today.

01:11:37.840 He said, after four

01:11:39.800 months of appeals,

01:11:40.800 since it was taken

01:11:41.700 down, Google finally

01:11:43.480 uncensored our initial

01:11:45.000 paper on hydroxychloroquine.

01:11:46.280 in treatment of

01:11:48.020 COVID-19.

01:11:49.660 And then he said,

01:11:50.500 it's strange Google

01:11:51.340 reversed this decision

01:11:52.640 immediately before

01:11:53.860 appearing in front of

01:11:55.260 Congress today to

01:11:56.400 discuss censorship.

01:11:58.260 So, Google uncensored

01:12:00.120 their paper that they've

01:12:01.180 been trying to get

01:12:01.900 uncensored forever, the

01:12:04.340 day that they were

01:12:04.960 called in front of

01:12:05.540 Congress to answer for

01:12:06.900 their censorship.

01:12:09.300 Maybe a coincidence.

01:12:11.560 Maybe not.

01:12:12.500 All right, and here's the

01:12:14.780 worst story of the day.

01:12:15.880 I'll end on this.

01:12:17.460 So, you remember Mike

01:12:19.560 Schellenberger, who wrote

01:12:20.980 Apocalypse Never.

01:12:22.400 I had him on here, and he's

01:12:24.020 an expert on environmental

01:12:26.040 stuff.

01:12:27.200 So, Congress asked him to

01:12:28.720 come in for a hearing so

01:12:30.360 that they could learn what

01:12:32.220 he had to say, compare it to

01:12:35.140 everything else they knew,

01:12:36.080 and make better decisions.

01:12:37.760 Sounds pretty good, right?

01:12:39.460 Congress invites an expert

01:12:40.820 in, the expert gives him

01:12:42.360 some information.

01:12:43.500 Maybe they agree with it,

01:12:44.460 maybe they don't.

01:12:45.460 Talk to some other experts.

01:12:47.120 That's all good stuff, right?

01:12:49.780 Well, what happens is,

01:12:51.960 they gave him the Bill

01:12:54.020 Barr treatment.

01:12:55.080 The Democrats basically

01:12:56.360 just used their time to

01:12:58.880 malign his character and

01:13:00.960 just leave it there.

01:13:02.860 All they did was just

01:13:04.020 trash him, the Democrats

01:13:05.600 anyway.

01:13:05.880 So, imagine being invited

01:13:08.200 to Congress, and here's

01:13:09.380 the key part of this.

01:13:11.140 He's not an elected

01:13:12.220 representative.

01:13:13.920 You know, he's not the

01:13:14.580 CEO of a tech company

01:13:15.880 that's effectively running

01:13:17.140 the world.

01:13:18.100 He's not the CEO of a

01:13:19.400 tobacco company.

01:13:21.160 He's a guy who's trying

01:13:22.280 to help the earth.

01:13:24.140 He's trying to help the

01:13:25.900 earth.

01:13:27.100 Like, that's his job.

01:13:28.800 You know, like he lives

01:13:29.740 and breathes, and has

01:13:30.760 been doing it for, I guess,

01:13:32.240 most of his, or all of

01:13:33.340 his adult life.

01:13:34.040 Learning everything he

01:13:36.820 can about, you know,

01:13:37.580 green technology, every

01:13:39.180 bit of conservation,

01:13:40.640 everything.

01:13:41.360 And he's just going in to

01:13:42.420 tell him, to tell them

01:13:43.620 what he knows.

01:13:45.460 And they trashed him,

01:13:47.620 the Democrats.

01:13:50.200 That is so wrong, I don't

01:13:54.220 even know how to express

01:13:55.140 it.

01:13:55.480 Because it's one thing to

01:13:57.760 trash, you know, the, you

01:13:59.620 know, a politician or

01:14:00.580 somebody who's in the

01:14:01.520 ring, and you've got a

01:14:03.260 rivalry.

01:14:04.620 But when you ask a

01:14:06.240 citizen, a private citizen,

01:14:09.820 who just happens to be an

01:14:11.020 expert on something, you

01:14:12.380 ask him in, and then you

01:14:13.960 use the power of Congress

01:14:15.280 to ruin his reputation, or

01:14:18.000 try to, or try to, and

01:14:20.400 squash him like a bug?

01:14:21.720 Fuck you.

01:14:24.280 Sorry, didn't mean to

01:14:25.260 swear.

01:14:26.040 Slipped down.

01:14:27.460 But, um, that was the

01:14:29.720 most grotesque thing I

01:14:31.300 think I've seen from any

01:14:33.020 government.

01:14:34.200 Because that's just, that

01:14:35.520 just crosses the line,

01:14:36.700 right?

01:14:37.360 You know, you can do

01:14:38.140 anything to the

01:14:39.160 professionals.

01:14:40.700 And, you know, obviously

01:14:41.600 Michael Schellenberg's a

01:14:43.060 professional, but he's a

01:14:44.220 private citizen.

01:14:45.420 Like, we didn't elect him.

01:14:47.360 Yet.

01:14:47.840 But, we might elect him

01:14:50.140 someday.

01:14:51.160 But, haven't elected him

01:14:52.020 yet.

01:14:52.680 That was just inappropriate.

01:14:54.860 All right.

01:14:56.000 Um, we'll go check on

01:14:58.060 Herman Cain.

01:14:59.280 I guess there's some story

01:15:00.400 there.

01:15:01.700 Um, did you enjoy today's

01:15:03.580 Periscope?

01:15:04.040 I told you it would be the

01:15:04.780 best one ever.

01:15:06.180 I think it was.

01:15:08.860 What do you say?

01:15:11.060 Um, the left is being

01:15:14.180 surprised by the right's

01:15:15.500 tenacity, somebody says.

01:15:17.020 Are they?

01:15:19.060 Thoughts on election day?

01:15:20.300 Do you mean the day

01:15:20.940 itself or the results?

01:15:25.640 Um, on the day itself,

01:15:27.220 I don't know, that's all

01:15:27.840 up in the air.

01:15:28.740 It's hard to, it's hard

01:15:29.800 to know.

01:15:30.480 Now, did you see the, uh,

01:15:31.920 there was a, some local,

01:15:33.320 local news program, I

01:15:35.860 think it was.

01:15:36.500 They did a test of mail-in

01:15:38.000 ballots.

01:15:38.660 And I think the test was

01:15:39.880 just to mail a bunch of

01:15:41.680 ballots and just see if they

01:15:42.840 arrived.

01:15:43.920 And something like three

01:15:45.140 out of a hundred didn't

01:15:45.980 arrive.

01:15:47.020 And I thought to

01:15:47.880 myself, uh, three out of

01:15:50.660 a hundred is too much.

01:15:52.320 If, if three out of a

01:15:53.440 hundred just got lost in

01:15:54.560 the mail, that's a

01:15:56.860 problem.

01:15:57.540 That's a pretty big

01:15:58.400 problem.

01:15:59.000 Because our elections are

01:16:00.180 decided by less than three

01:16:01.380 percent.

01:16:03.580 Oh, you agree.

01:16:04.660 It was the best ever.

01:16:05.780 And happy birthday to

01:16:09.160 Mausman, uh, or Mausman,

01:16:14.260 Mausman.

01:16:17.160 Uh, thank you, thank you.

01:16:22.520 Yeah, I don't take days off.

01:16:24.480 I don't like sleep.

01:16:25.960 So I've been up 24 hours and

01:16:27.400 I'm not even a little bit

01:16:28.400 tired.

01:16:28.820 I don't know what's up with

01:16:29.580 this.

01:16:29.760 But I will talk to you

01:16:32.280 tomorrow.

01:16:33.440 I don't know.

01:16:34.300 Thank you.
