00:00:00.000 Good morning everybody. How are you? It's good to see you. I hope you all brought your beverages
00:00:21.300 because it's going to be one of the best days ever. Yeah, today is shaping up to look really
00:00:29.020 good. Let's check the stock market, see what's going on there. Anything happening in the stock
00:00:34.260 market? What? Looks like Apple and Amazon are doing pretty darn good. Pretty darn good.
00:00:44.360 So I know that many of you here are here for the laughs, the excitement, the camaraderie,
00:00:51.140 the news, the information, the emotional and intellectual titillation, but many of you are
00:00:57.400 here for the simultaneous sip. And all you need, if you would like to participate, is a cup or mug or
00:01:04.460 glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your
00:01:10.060 favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the
00:01:16.960 day, the thing that makes everything better, including the pandemic, economics, stock market,
00:01:23.800 unemployment, unemployment, everything. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go.
00:01:34.860 Oh, sublime. Somebody says that surgery changed you. Let me address that.
00:01:46.600 Because since many of you watch me every day, I should address the fact that there's certainly
00:01:56.080 some kind of chemical change going on here. So part of it is the surgery on my sinuses,
00:02:01.200 which should change my vocal quality a bit. Don't know if it's permanent yet.
00:02:05.440 But I'm also still on prednisone. So the prednisone changes both my personality,
00:02:13.860 makes me more aggressive, and a little more energetic, I think. But also because I had sinus
00:02:20.600 surgery, this will be the first time you've ever seen me when I'm not using marijuana every day.
00:02:28.080 So for a while, I have to keep that in my system. So I was awake for, I don't know, 36 hours straight
00:02:34.260 or something. If you don't count anesthesia. I was awake for 36 hours. Because my brain's just going
00:02:41.300 crazy, just adjusting to the new chemical composition. It's such a difference from normal.
00:02:47.820 So we don't know how this is going to turn out. I'm actually on an experiment. Kanye tweeted just now.
00:02:55.400 Well, I don't know what that is. But we'll find out together, I guess. Let's talk about the news.
00:03:01.480 Here's a question. So I guess in the first NBA game, all of the players and coaches knelt.
00:03:10.180 Now, the total amount that I care about this issue, zero, zero. I don't really care who
00:03:18.200 kneels before a sporting event. Is there anything less important? I don't think so. It's probably the
00:03:25.000 least important thing happening in the world. And yet it's, you know, headline news. But here's my
00:03:30.700 provocative question. If China did not want the NBA players to kneel, could they have done it?
00:03:41.560 I'm just trying to cause trouble. Just think about it. If China had some real problem, I don't know why
00:03:48.200 they would. But let's say they did. Let's say, for example, that kneeling was an insult in China.
00:03:54.540 It isn't, I don't think. But imagine it was. Could the NBA players have all knelt?
00:04:01.100 And I think the answer is no. Which is just a funny thought. Not funny for them. I think NBA is going to
00:04:10.160 have some problems. Obviously. Now, the big story yesterday was the president tweeted about maybe we
00:04:17.560 should delay the elections just so we'll have the votes counted. Because if they're if they're voting
00:04:23.440 by mail, you know, there might be some delays. And of course, that causes everybody to say you
00:04:30.280 fascist, you fascist, you. But it was the president being the president. I don't know how
00:04:40.120 anybody can take this stuff as completely literal anymore. And, and then comment on it in public.
00:04:48.220 And act as if we don't all know that President Trump is President Trump. He has a certain style
00:04:54.880 of communicating, you know, he'll, he'll use a little hyperbole, he'll, he'll bluff, he'll take the,
00:05:01.000 he'll take a high offer, he'll shake the box. So when you see something like maybe we should delay
00:05:06.660 the elections, what kind of filter should you put on that? Well, I'll tell you the one you shouldn't
00:05:12.160 put on it. There's one that's definitely wrong, that he's decided to become a dictator and take
00:05:16.800 over the country. That's the most wrong one. That was pretty ridiculous. Now, does he mean it? Does
00:05:24.360 it matter? What's the context? Probably doesn't matter at all. Here's my take. And this is from
00:05:31.240 Jason. I tweeted him, a trained hypnotist who had this take on it on Twitter, that by President Trump
00:05:43.320 putting out the thought that the election could be delayed, he has actually trapped the Democrats.
00:05:51.760 Do you see it? It's not, it's not exactly obvious. I had to, I had to play with it in my mind a little
00:05:57.880 bit to see if this made sense. And I don't know if it's intentional, or it's just, you know, the way
00:06:02.540 it turns out. But imagine that the Democrats spend the next two months arguing that the election result
00:06:10.940 must be determined on election day. Or, or some, you know, some period around then if there's some,
00:06:20.000 some adjustments, but certainly not past, you know, January 20th and inauguration.
00:06:25.060 If they spend their whole time arguing that the election should be accepted
00:06:29.680 on whatever day they think it should be done, election day, let's say, they're also going to
00:06:35.700 be priming themselves to accept whatever the result is. So if they commit themselves publicly to saying
00:06:42.980 that whatever we see on election day is the result, they have also bound themselves to accept it.
00:06:49.640 And they might not want to. Now what President Trump has done, and I just shake my head when I see him
00:06:58.520 do this, because there are some times when he's the only smart person in the country, it seems,
00:07:05.100 at least in public. So when he was asked if he would accept the outcome of the election, both the last
00:07:10.880 one in this upcoming one, he said some version of we'll have to see. That's exactly the right answer.
00:07:18.120 Every other answer is just dumb. Because if you say, I will accept it, you're just limiting your
00:07:24.600 options. Why would you do that? Who would limit their own options before they're forced to do it?
00:07:31.720 And you see this consistently. Trump will always say, how about I'll keep all of my options open?
00:07:36.700 No, no, no. Tell us what you're going to do. No. How about I keep all of my options open? Do you
00:07:43.420 think you'll use nuclear weapons? I've got an idea. Why don't I keep all of my options open?
00:07:50.580 Do you think you'll do this or that with China? I've got an idea. Why don't I keep all of my options
00:07:56.720 open? He does it all the time. So when he does it with the election, is it because he's a fascist
00:08:03.520 dictator who's going to take over? Well, that's what the left says. But it's also exactly what he
00:08:08.060 does all the time and everything. He always keeps his options open. Now, could you guarantee that the
00:08:15.200 result of our election will look fair and credible and it will be a real election? Can you guarantee
00:08:22.760 that? Because I can't guarantee that. I think it'll happen. I'm optimistic. But I don't know.
00:08:30.800 And if you don't know, keep your options open. I don't think we're going to have any kind of a
00:08:38.000 coup or violent insurrection or anything. So I'm not too worried about it. But let me ask you this.
00:08:44.380 Suppose your results were in the, let's say you're within one or two percent in the final outcome.
00:08:52.480 So let's say the final presidential race, no matter which side wins, is real close like they usually are.
00:08:58.720 But how many influences are we going to look at after the fact to say what changed the election?
00:09:07.060 We're going to look at the Russians doing some lame thing that a second grader could do.
00:09:12.440 We're going to look at all of China's influence. We're going to look at the news, how they handle
00:09:18.700 things. And almost all of it, I don't know, maybe none of it will matter. Because I've got a feeling
00:09:26.240 that the voters have made up their minds. All right. I recommended on Twitter this morning
00:09:34.060 that you all follow this account by Andres Backhaus at Andres Shrugged. You can see my tweet if you want
00:09:44.100 to follow him. The reason you should follow him is he lives in Germany. He's a German citizen,
00:09:51.160 speaks perfect English, PhD in economics, and he's my go-to for looking at all the pundits
00:09:59.400 and experts' claims to see if they're consistent, the data is right, they've looked at it right.
00:10:06.480 I've told you in my book, Loser Think, that people who have the right talent stack are much better
00:10:13.800 suited for explaining the world. A PhD in economics is a really good place to start if you're going to
00:10:22.060 look at other people's data and see how they've compared things. So if you want to know if somebody
00:10:28.180 has compared things correctly, you want a PhD in economics. And Andres is the best I've seen.
00:10:35.840 So on almost all of the issues in America, he weighs in on the big Twitter debates and consistently has
00:10:43.320 probably the best takes I've seen on almost all of the topics. Today, he humorously corrected Chris
00:10:51.280 Cuomo. So this is why it's so much fun. So I guess Chris Cuomo was saying on CNN last night
00:10:59.360 that Germany was doing much better with its economy than the United States. So that Germany had handled
00:11:06.940 the pandemic and they'd also done better than us in terms of not losing as much economically as maybe
00:11:14.180 they could have. But it turns out that he just looked at the wrong numbers, that Chris Cuomo,
00:11:20.300 whose background in training, his talent stack, is he's an attorney. That's good. But that's not really
00:11:27.400 quite the right field for this conversation. And Chris Cuomo is very smart. You may disagree,
00:11:35.880 but I think it's objectively true that he's smart. And he's a journalist and does his job. So his talent
00:11:44.820 stack is pretty strong, but he does have maybe a blind spot for the economics, which would not be
00:11:51.600 unusual. That would be the common situation. But what he did, apparently he just confused some GDP
00:11:58.500 and growth rates comparing the United States. So he basically compared an apple to an orange.
00:12:03.640 If you, as Andres pointed out, if you compare the apple to the apple, the United States did a little
00:12:09.400 better. So it actually completely reversed the story from Germany is kicking our butts to actually
00:12:18.480 we were a little bit better, a little bit better. And so I provocatively put this challenge out on
00:12:26.260 Twitter. If you plan to criticize President Trump later, and you know you do, you know, I'm talking
00:12:34.020 about the left and the right, right? The one thing we can guarantee is that both the left and the right
00:12:40.660 will criticize President Trump when it's all over. And now too, right? Everybody's got their complaints.
00:12:47.840 I would ask you this, and I like to keep reminding people, if you're evaluating President Trump's
00:12:54.700 performance with the pandemic and with the economy, you can't do it in a vacuum. It's got to be compared
00:13:01.440 to something that's relevant. Otherwise, you don't know if it's better or worse than some standard.
00:13:07.600 And I would just challenge people, if they plan to criticize the President later, and you know you do,
00:13:14.300 so this is most of you, pick your champions now. Pick the other countries and the other leaders
00:13:21.460 and state them in public and say, I'm going to compare President Trump in the future to Germany.
00:13:30.020 I think that would be one comparison. Maybe Canada. Maybe you pick a couple of European countries.
00:13:36.840 You know, whatever you think is fair, but just name your champion. Once you have your,
00:13:42.360 somebody helpfully is putting Andres Beko's name, the spelling in the comments, so you can see there.
00:13:50.120 So pick your champion. And the reason I say this is, if you can't pick your champion now,
00:13:56.120 I'm not sure you can tell who's doing a better job later because you get to cherry pick your comparison
00:14:02.800 after the fact. I would say, let's put them up against the, you know, the countries that are
00:14:09.440 as comparable as you can get. Maybe as a group, that might even be better. But I have this prediction,
00:14:17.260 and it goes like this. Some countries will be better than the United States at handling the pandemic.
00:14:24.500 That's guaranteed. Some countries will do better than the United States, maybe, at handling the economy
00:14:31.220 in their own country. Maybe. But I don't think many countries are going to do better at both.
00:14:39.120 And that's going to be interesting. Because the economy and the virus are almost exchangeable.
00:14:47.820 They're almost like a currency that one can pay for the other. In other words, if the virus goes up,
00:14:54.040 it's bad for the economy. And, you know, people die from the virus, but they also die from the economy.
00:14:59.180 So they're sort of linked. Right? And I don't think you're going to find a situation when this is all
00:15:05.880 done, where there are many countries that beat the United States on both measures. You know,
00:15:14.260 handling the pandemic and deaths, and also keeping the economy alive, which also keeps people alive.
00:15:20.960 So let's wait for that. That's my challenge to the world. If you're going to criticize him later,
00:15:26.300 tell us now who you're going to measure him against. That's fair.
00:15:34.540 All right.
00:15:37.160 It turns out that we're getting some reports that I don't yet trust about countries completely getting
00:15:44.740 on top of the virus, maybe to the point of being past it, which seems over-optimistic to me.
00:15:50.980 So here are a few of the stories. Jake Novak reports or tweeted today that Israel says that
00:15:59.420 it may have beat it. So Israel is looking like it got on top of the virus, wiped it out.
00:16:09.420 It may be a non-problem very soon in Israel. Now, I don't know that that can last,
00:16:15.060 because it depends how much you can control your borders and stuff, because there's got to be new
00:16:19.480 virus coming in. I don't know how that could not be the case. So I am, I would say that I am
00:16:25.680 appropriately skeptical of any country that claims that they've, they've beaten it or they're near
00:16:31.880 beating it, because I don't know that that is a thing yet. So, but so Israel is reported.
00:16:37.780 I'm seeing reports. Again, everything I say here should be considered not credible, because we live
00:16:45.040 in a world in which 100% of our information is untrustworthy. Well, I don't know if you can say that
00:16:51.960 about information. I would say that the data cannot be trusted for basically anything right now.
00:17:00.040 Some of it has to do with the pandemic. Some of it has to do with the fact that data is never good.
00:17:04.820 We just think it is sometimes, but we're getting smarter now. So the, the more we get red-pilled
00:17:10.360 about the real way that the world works, the less you should believe any data, any, because all data
00:17:17.700 is just politics, ultimately. You know, if you see any public data that has some kind of public purpose,
00:17:24.240 you should just see it as almost an opinion, because somebody made that data, somebody collected it,
00:17:30.260 and if it didn't agree with their point of view, you probably never would have seen it.
00:17:34.820 So there isn't much difference in 2020 between hard data, we're going to use our hard data to make
00:17:41.000 decisions, and I think I'll just use my opinion. You think there's a difference. You want there to
00:17:47.440 be a difference. Maybe there used to be a difference, but there's definitely not a difference now.
00:17:53.280 Now data is just opinion packaged up with numbers. It's all fraudulent. People will pick whatever
00:18:00.380 starting points and ending points make their case, they'll measure what they want to measure,
00:18:05.400 they'll ignore what they don't want to include. So I would say we're in a world where all data
00:18:11.100 should be considered wrong. That should be your first, your first judgment is that it should be
00:18:17.280 almost certainly wrong. Sometimes it will be right, but so rarely that you should almost count it like
00:18:25.740 it's not a thing. That would be my advice. So there's, I'm seeing reports on Twitter, which means
00:18:33.560 no credibility at all, that Sweden has basically beaten the virus. That they got to something like
00:18:40.280 herd immunity, didn't completely close their economy, although their economy did take a hit just
00:18:45.880 because people did socially distance voluntarily. Is that true? Because I don't know that that's true.
00:18:53.940 Yeah. And again, Sweden might flare up again, but somebody's saying it. So another tweet that Haiti,
00:19:01.340 which was being used as an example, because they have the worst healthcare situation.
00:19:07.540 So the question is what would happen to a country that basically just didn't have good healthcare
00:19:12.020 and just got ravaged by the coronavirus, what would happen? If Haiti is that example, and if the data
00:19:19.860 is right, which again, what are the odds, it would show that Haiti just basically built up herd immunity
00:19:26.240 and they're already past it without too much death. Now, I don't know if that's true, but you're going
00:19:34.020 to hear lots of stories about, you know, this country or that country, you know, got past it, got herd immunity.
00:19:39.240 I would say you should be very cautious about believing any of that. But here's what I would
00:19:44.040 like to see. Given how hard it is to actually know anything for sure, there are only these little
00:19:52.220 opportunities where you might be able to pick out some data that you could actually trust
00:19:56.660 and it might tell you something. It's rare. But I would suggest this and I would be open to
00:20:03.360 comments whether this is dumb or brilliant. But it goes like this. I'd like to see a list of the
00:20:09.160 countries where hydroxychloroquine is available over the counter without a prescription and has been
00:20:16.680 for the last several months. So I don't care what happened before the pandemic, but during the pandemic
00:20:22.280 was, you know, which countries had hydroxychloroquine over the counter. Now, here's the beauty of what I'm
00:20:30.400 going to suggest. If you look at any one country, I don't believe those numbers at all. I completely
00:20:36.920 don't believe any numbers from any one country, United States or anywhere else. But if you were
00:20:43.420 to sum together, let's say there were two dozen countries that you could find that definitely had
00:20:49.500 over-the-counter hydroxychloroquine. And if that total group on average was way better at getting past
00:20:58.300 the pandemic, then the group that was only by prescription or had other limitations, would that
00:21:05.540 be meaningful? It might be, but it also might not be because there could be other correlations. It
00:21:11.640 could be something about temperature or something about density, for example. You know, do you have
00:21:16.800 as much density in the warmer areas where there's also malaria, where they also had hydroxychloroquine?
00:21:23.200 So you've got the temperature, environment, season, density. You might have some kind of
00:21:29.860 genetic thing that mixes things up. Somebody says, don't forget the zinc. Well, yes, let's not forget
00:21:39.480 the zinc. But the point is, the zinc question is important. So put a pin in that. But if you found
00:21:50.660 that the over-the-counter hydroxychloroquine people were all doing better, even without zinc,
00:21:57.300 because probably people would be smart enough to pick up a little zinc, I don't know. Is that hard?
00:22:02.360 Can you get it over-the-counter too? I mean, I know you can buy zinc over-the-counter, obviously. Duh.
00:22:08.160 But is it the medical-grade zinc that is meant to be working in concert with hydroxychloroquine? Is there
00:22:15.580 any difference? If I just buy some Walmart zinc, is it just as good? I don't know. Because I have
00:22:21.260 some. The first thing I did was go out and buy some zinc. So, I mean, I have some in my cabinet.
00:22:27.580 All right. So would it tell us anything if those groups are different? Because, you know, the
00:22:32.300 frontline doctors that have been in the news lately have been talking about making hydroxychloroquine
00:22:38.320 over-the-counter in the United States. And I'd like to know if anybody had a good result with that.
00:22:45.000 If nobody, if the average of them didn't get any good results, well, I'd be less inclined to think
00:22:50.220 that's the most important thing we should do. But maybe. Who knows?
00:22:58.220 Here's an interesting thing. I didn't know this when it happened, but President Trump tweeted
00:23:03.260 this. He was talking about how we're going to be building back. This was on the 27th, so a few
00:23:09.200 days ago. And I only saw it yesterday. And he's talking about if sleepy Joe Biden, the puppet of the
00:23:15.800 left, ever won, markets would crash and cities would burn. Which I think is actually literally true.
00:23:22.200 That markets would crash and cities would burn. It's funny, you just automatically think that's
00:23:27.140 hyperbole. But, I don't know. I mean, it could. This is definitely in the realm of completely
00:23:35.820 believable future scenarios that cities would burn. You know, because Biden is on the side that wants
00:23:43.100 to defund the police, so it doesn't take many dots to be connected for a city to be on fire.
00:23:48.880 But then his tweet goes on. He goes, our country would suffer like never before.
00:23:52.400 And then Trump says, we will beat the virus soon and go on to the golden age. Better than ever
00:23:58.680 before. Hashtag golden age. Now, I'm the one who said hashtag golden age. That's not in the tweet.
00:24:06.820 But I'm liking a lot the president's view because I am 100% on board with it. Have you noticed that,
00:24:16.600 and let me not minimize how bad things are right now. There are people dying. There are people
00:24:21.560 out of work. There's a big hunger problem that's growing in the United States that might be our,
00:24:27.840 not might be, it should be our top priority, is the hunger problem. So we've got really serious
00:24:33.820 problems. But, as the president indicates, there is something about this virus and the pandemic
00:24:40.960 that is renewing. You can feel that, right? I'm not the only one, I don't think. There are so many
00:24:48.880 things that got changed. And our perspective on just every part of life changed so substantially
00:24:57.780 that I think it opens up a whole bunch of possibilities that weren't there before.
00:25:04.960 Education, definitely going to change. Commuting will change. Our relationship with China
00:25:09.380 will change. We'll bring in our supply chains. We've learned a ton about virology. We're probably
00:25:17.220 safer from future pandemics. I mean, right down to just the most basic things. Let me give you
00:25:23.720 the smallest example. I still had somebody in my business life, my book publisher, who was still
00:25:31.880 mailing me a physical check. Now, I don't know about you, but do you get mad when somebody gives you a
00:25:39.560 physical check? Well, I get mad. Every time I get one, or I'm even madder if I have to write one,
00:25:46.620 because I feel like, what is this, the 1600s? I'm writing on a piece of paper with a, you know,
00:25:52.660 a feather quill or something to exchange monetary value. And because of the pandemic,
00:26:00.060 my publisher said, well, we can't do these physical checks anymore, so we'll do direct deposit,
00:26:05.240 just fill out this form. To which I said, thank you. Thank you. You just saved one of my problems.
00:26:13.320 Now, this is the smallest problem in the world, but multiply it by 7 billion people, you know,
00:26:18.700 changing and correcting all the ways they're doing everything. And it's like a million things that
00:26:24.260 are small improvements. Somebody said in the comments, say, handshakes. Handshakes might go away.
00:26:29.560 I kind of doubt it, but they might. Would that be an improvement? It could be. Just getting rid of
00:26:36.220 handshakes could lower health care costs 5% or something. I don't know, not 5% probably.
00:26:45.400 So let's talk about, so the golden age might be coming. There might be really good stuff ahead.
00:26:53.040 And the online stuff, the delivery stuff, it's just going to be incredible. But we have to get past
00:26:58.980 this bad patch. Biggest story, maybe today, is the Epstein files being unsealed. Credit to Mike
00:27:08.680 Cernovich, who made that happen. So everything you see in the news for the next however long
00:27:14.000 about these new Epstein files that come out, you should think to yourself, that would not have
00:27:19.140 happened without Mike Cernovich. And I got to say this, I mentioned him almost too much, but he makes
00:27:27.220 such a perfect example of things that I like to talk about that it just has to be mentioned.
00:27:35.760 And it goes like this.
00:27:39.240 Those of you who follow Mike Cernovich on Twitter, you know that most of the time he's hanging out
00:27:44.960 with his two young daughters, taking care of them, tweeting and stuff.
00:27:49.740 But he's built a talent stack that includes legal, investigative, social media. It just keeps
00:27:58.340 growing. And his power, just watching his ability to influence the entire freaking planet from
00:28:07.400 his house with his phone is like the coolest thing, if you've been watching it the whole
00:28:13.300 time. So he went from, you know, guy who was trying to get a mindset book going and sort
00:28:20.220 of a fringy character. And, you know, there was the pizza gate thing. And, you know, people
00:28:25.280 have their opinions about that. And then, you know, Hoax came out as probably, I would say
00:28:32.000 one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. You know, I'm a little bit biased because I'm
00:28:36.000 in it. But I do think it was one of the best produced pieces of quality work in the last
00:28:41.100 several years. And, you know, but then he got kind of ignored, you know, Amazon pulled
00:28:47.020 it and didn't get much attention. And now, but his power just keeps growing. It's just
00:28:52.940 like every day, it's just a little bit more, a little bit more. And today, you know, you
00:28:57.880 put on the news, and the news is basically the news he created. He actually created the
00:29:04.020 news. So Epstein is trending. Cernovich made it happen. And it's just glorious watching
00:29:12.060 it. So, but what is interesting about this story are several things. One of them is how
00:29:18.480 the news is covering it. I recommended that you all follow a new, it's a startup, a news
00:29:26.740 startup called the Ground News. So ground, like the ground that you stand on, news. And
00:29:34.240 what they do is they monitor all the left and right and center news sources, and they give
00:29:39.060 you a graph that shows you who's covering what stories. And you'll see that on a story
00:29:44.580 like this, every, well, most of the news entities that are right-leaning have covered it because
00:29:52.340 Bill Clinton is named in the Epstein files. So the right completely covered it. And then
00:29:58.600 you see the graph that I tweeted, you can look at it yourself. The left is just empty. It's
00:30:05.320 empty. It's a big story that's embarrassing to Bill Clinton, and the entire left media bubble
00:30:12.660 ignored it. It's completely empty. And when you see it so stark, you understand the bubble situation.
00:30:22.340 There's nobody that I know on the left who will even really be aware of this, maybe. They
00:30:28.460 just sort of won't even know it exists.
00:30:32.440 So, what do we make of the new information we have? Well, there'll be more stuff dripping
00:30:37.340 out, but here are some of the highlights. Number one, apparently the FBI, and I haven't
00:30:43.260 dug into the details, but I'm just reading Twitter summaries of this. Apparently the FBI was aware
00:30:50.400 of more victims of Epstein and did not interview them all before they made whatever deal they were
00:30:57.500 making with him, which indicates that the FBI maybe did not want to prosecute him so much,
00:31:06.500 which no matter what you thought about the FBI before, as in, are they trying to overthrow the United
00:31:14.420 States and get rid of the legally elected president with their Russia collusion hoaxes? No matter what
00:31:22.360 you thought about them before, this is maybe a little worse, because it does look like the
00:31:28.500 FBI, and again, you can't make a definitive claim about anybody at the FBI doing anything specific,
00:31:36.360 but the way it looks is that the FBI was complicit in allowing a serial pedophile to operate, or at
00:31:49.720 least give him an easier way out, and they got a lot of explaining to do. That's a lot of explaining.
00:31:57.740 I don't know where that's going to go. Keep an eye on that. Now, the big claim, the big shockers are the
00:32:03.620 names of people that one of the young women who was in the Epstein circle there was naming. So she
00:32:12.420 was naming famous people who had visited the island. Her names included Bill Clinton, who she says was
00:32:20.880 on the island, which he claims he was never on the island. So that's a big, big claim, to say that he
00:32:26.780 was on the island. That would directly contradict everything he's ever said, if true. And it said that
00:32:33.280 there were two young women there also, as well as Ghislaine and Epstein. Now, there's no reporting on
00:32:41.920 any of those two young girls or women. I don't know how old they were. There's no reporting that they
00:32:49.300 had specific any kind of contact with any of those other people, just that they were there at the same
00:32:53.720 time. That's the report. The report also says that Tipper and Al Gore were on the island. And here's the
00:33:02.260 funniest one. Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons. Now, here's what you need to know.
00:33:10.780 Dershowitz, who also has been dragged into these allegations at various times, is tweeting today
00:33:16.480 that he wants to make sure that even more stuff is unredacted. Because his claim is this,
00:33:23.940 that the woman or girl who is making the claims about who was on the island, the famous people,
00:33:29.860 that she has already been proven to be a liar. And I believe that one of the examples is that
00:33:36.800 there's some proof that Al and Tipper Gore were never on the island. Now, that's a very specific
00:33:42.680 claim she's made, that Al Gore and his wife were on the island. I believe, and I need a fact check on
00:33:51.620 this, but I believe that Dershowitz's claim is that that can be definitively ruled out as untrue.
00:33:58.120 Now, if that's true, that it's untrue, that also means that anything else this witness says about who
00:34:06.960 was on the island has no credibility at all. If you can take somebody as important as Al Gore,
00:34:13.920 claim they were on the island, and then prove it didn't happen, it kind of makes all the rest of
00:34:19.000 them go away. Or at least in a legal sense it would, if not a common sense way. So, Dershowitz is,
00:34:27.540 he looks pretty confident that, and I think there are other documents that have already proven that
00:34:33.480 the Gores were not there. So, he's pretty confident that if it's fully disclosed, you're going to find
00:34:38.660 out that that wasn't true. Now, if it's not true that the Gores were on the island, would you believe
00:34:44.840 that Bill Clinton was on the island? You shouldn't. All right? Now, let me give a full disclosure.
00:34:55.660 I've never liked Hillary Clinton, and I didn't think she would be good for the country. But I've
00:35:01.180 always kind of liked Bill Clinton. And while I will never excuse anything he's done in his,
00:35:07.560 let's say, semi-private life, I also don't tend to judge my leaders by that standard, because I see
00:35:17.980 them as employees. And if my employee gets my job done, his personal problems are between him and the
00:35:25.360 legal system and anybody else. You know, I just don't like to make everybody's problems all of my
00:35:30.760 problems. You know, if you can get the economy up and things are going. So, I applied the same
00:35:36.280 standard to Bill Clinton when he was being impeached that I did with Trump, which is, I'm not
00:35:43.200 supporting any of that. Whatever you're saying he did, that's between you and him and your conscience
00:35:47.840 and the law. I'm just out. You know, that's just not my deal. So, I'm not anti-Bill Clinton.
00:35:54.780 So, that's just full disclosure, so you know where I'm coming from. I would say that the odds are
00:36:03.420 that there is not a credible information that Bill Clinton was on the island, because the only person
00:36:09.640 claiming it appears to have no credibility at all, based on the Al Gore thing being wrong, if it's
00:36:16.340 wrong. Now, her other claim is that Matt Groening, the creator of the Simpsons, was on the island.
00:36:22.300 Now, if Al Gore was not on the island, there's a pretty good chance that the Matt Groening part is
00:36:31.980 completely made up, too. We don't know yet. We'll wait and find out. Could be. Never know. But, I was
00:36:38.700 imagining Matt Groening's day. Imagine if it were true, and I think it's sketchy to think that this is
00:36:45.580 true, but imagine if Matt Groening knew all along that he had been to the island, and he was just
00:36:51.760 waiting for somebody to find out. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, let me give a clarification.
00:36:59.600 There is confirmation that Bill Clinton was on Epstein's plane. So, that part nobody's arguing
00:37:05.840 about. So, the flights are definite. The only question was, was he ever physically on the island,
00:37:12.140 which he claims specifically he never was, and I think he claims he was never at any of the Epstein
00:37:17.380 properties. Just to clarify, thank you. But, I was imagining Matt Groening waking up this
00:37:25.060 morning. He's like, oh, oh, get my coffee. Let's see how today is. Looks kind of sunny out
00:37:34.940 today. Good day. Coffee's good. I'll check the news. Uh-oh. That's how Matt Groening's day
00:37:46.260 probably went today. So, I don't know Matt Groening personally. He did send me once a nice
00:37:53.620 note when the Dilbert TV show was on. He sent my producer a nice note, complimenting it. And so,
00:38:02.240 I have a good feeling about Matt Groening, and I hope that none of this is true. And I hope that,
00:38:06.780 I hope he does well. But, it's hard not to imagine that scene of him waking up to the news.
00:38:12.600 It's like, well, what's going on? Uh, I've been allegedly on Epstein's island. Row. Okay.
00:38:23.280 So, lots more on that. Congratulations, Mike Cernovich, for all of that.
00:38:29.460 Um, are you seeing more and more pushback to the teachers' unions? Or is that my imagination?
00:38:39.420 I don't think it's my imagination. So, I've declared war on the teachers' unions,
00:38:44.900 and here's the logic to it. The most important thing in the country is national defense.
00:38:50.580 Would you agree? I mean, assuming that we can eat, national defense is probably number one.
00:38:55.460 Because you've got to get that right before you can get anything else right. Now, national defense
00:39:00.300 is somewhat interchangeable with economics. Meaning that if you have enough money, you can actually,
00:39:07.720 you don't even need an army, if you have enough money. You can bribe people, you can make deals
00:39:12.540 with them, you can make them happier to do business with you than to conquer you. So, money and economics
00:39:18.860 are very, uh, I'm sorry, economics and the military are kind of substitutes. And you need lots of money
00:39:26.820 to have a really strong military. So, if you say, well, we'll concentrate on the military but not the
00:39:33.340 economy, well, you're doing it wrong. Because that's not a thing. You have to have a strong economy.
00:39:39.020 They're connected. The other thing that's connected is our education system. There's no such thing as a
00:39:45.680 strong economy with a weak education system. That's not a thing. It can't be a thing. So, if you don't
00:39:51.960 have your education system right, you don't have your economy right, and then you can't have national
00:39:57.420 security right. So, I would argue that we should strongly consider using some kind of national security
00:40:05.820 security executive order or national security imperative to overrule some powers that the
00:40:14.280 teachers' unions have. Because apparently, they're one of the biggest obstacles to really everything.
00:40:20.480 Because at the moment, they're the biggest obstacle to reopening the schools, which is a challenge to
00:40:26.700 the economy, which is a challenge to national security. Our entire standing in the world is now
00:40:35.500 at risk to some radicals and teachers' unions who are demanding things like defunding the police
00:40:43.140 before they go back to teach. This is crazy stuff. But beyond that, it's much, much deeper.
00:40:50.120 Because the teachers' unions are the force that keep schools from having as much competition
00:40:55.300 as they could from firing bad teachers to get better ones in there. Really, all forms of change
00:41:01.640 are limited by the teachers' unions. And that is a critical problem for the country.
00:41:09.100 The teachers' unions are an extinction risk to the United States. It's that bad. That's not hyperbole.
00:41:17.620 The teachers' unions are an extinction risk to the republic. You know, the physical, the land will still be here,
00:41:27.500 but the republic can't stand as long as the teachers' unions remain in their current form. It just can't happen.
00:41:37.080 And so we have to start being smarter and tougher about what we think about protecting the country.
00:41:44.980 If you want to protect the country, you're going to have to defeat the teachers' unions,
00:41:49.660 and you're going to need to do it quickly. I think it needs to happen before the end of the year.
00:41:54.100 So before the end of the year, if we haven't dismantled the teachers' unions,
00:41:59.680 we're not getting off to a good start. And China's going to have a big advantage there.
00:42:06.480 So I'd like to see some kind of executive order to... I don't know exactly what it would take,
00:42:14.760 either to limit their power. There's at least one movement that I don't know too much about,
00:42:20.840 but I'm going to look into it. There's some legal precedents that would allow union members to stop
00:42:26.460 paying dues, but to still be in the union. Have you heard of that? So apparently that's a thing,
00:42:32.760 but I don't know the details yet. So there are some teachers' unions in which the teachers themselves
00:42:39.000 are organizing to discontinue paying dues, but still remain in the union. Because if you take the money
00:42:46.320 out of the union, then the union leaders don't really have a reason to be there. They don't have
00:42:52.520 a reason to do whatever they're doing. If you strip the money out of them, it's going to reduce their
00:42:58.040 power. So that effort is ongoing. So you'll see grassroots movements to defund the teachers' unions,
00:43:08.000 but I think we need something from the top. Because to me, this is a commander-in-chief decision.
00:43:14.060 Literally a commander-in-chief decision. There are two areas where I think the commander-in-chief
00:43:20.280 decision has to be central. One is this, because if you're looking at national defense, you can't look
00:43:27.160 at it as a one to five year situation. If you're looking at national defense, you have to look at it
00:43:32.980 as a hundred-year plan, right? I mean, if you don't have a hundred-year plan for your country, you're not
00:43:42.240 doing it right. You should be looking at all the things you need to get going to be as safe as possible
00:43:47.520 in the future. So the school system has got to be number one, right? Maybe not. Actually, the other one
00:43:53.400 might be number one. The second one is nuclear energy. And the argument is not just about powering current
00:44:00.760 stuff on Earth. The argument is that nuclear power is what will power space exploration, spaceships,
00:44:10.860 space colonies. Whoever owns space will own the Earth. So if we're not building a robust, best-in-class
00:44:22.000 nuclear energy industry in this country to handle all of the nuclear energy issues, both domestic,
00:44:28.740 military, and space, which is also military in part, if we're not doing all of that, and we're not the
00:44:35.220 number one country in that, whoever is will own space. And whoever owns space owns it all. Because
00:44:45.660 the high ground is going to be incredibly important for any military. And also resources. Because
00:44:54.220 apparently the rare resources from asteroids, etc. are just insanely valuable. So Commander-in-Chief
00:45:04.400 needs to work against school unions and education in general, just to make that as powerful as
00:45:10.020 possible. I think the entire education system needs to be rethought from the ground up to make it
00:45:15.780 something that works in the modern world. Because I don't think there's anybody who would disagree
00:45:20.920 agree that the things that are taught in school are not the things that a modern student needs to
00:45:26.020 learn. You know, some are. But a lot of it is, you really, you would probably change 40% of what the
00:45:33.440 kids learn to get to where it needs to be for the modern world. All right. So that's it. Teachers unions
00:45:40.440 got to go. There's a decision in this Michael Brown death from six years ago in Ferguson. And the
00:45:49.020 officer, Darren Wilson, will not be prosecuted. Because the more they looked into it, and I guess
00:45:54.800 they've been looking into it for a long time. And I think it's worth noting that the prosecutor
00:46:00.860 who is dropping the case is black. Because that's the world we live in where you have to mention that.
00:46:05.980 Because that's part of the story. And they can't find evidence sufficient that would say that this
00:46:15.480 was a crime as opposed to a tragic incident. Now, if you don't know this already, the same thing is
00:46:22.480 going to happen with George Floyd. So the longer that case goes, the better we are as a country.
00:46:29.220 You know, it would be good to, the George Floyd thing, if we could stretch that out four or five
00:46:34.980 years, that would help a lot. Because if tomorrow we find that the police were arrested in his
00:46:42.380 death, if we find out tomorrow that that case gets dropped, oh my God, the whole country is going to
00:46:50.540 burn. And I think it will. So we're in this weird situation where these police officers who, I'm not
00:46:57.980 going to say they did the best job they could do, because I don't know. I just don't have the skills
00:47:02.920 to evaluate it. And I don't think I have enough information about really what was happening on the
00:47:07.820 ground. But if it's true, as I've heard in one report, that George Floyd had in him three times the
00:47:17.580 amount of fatal fentanyl, that you would, basically three times more than an overdose amount.
00:47:26.160 The claim, not confirmed, but the claim is that George Floyd was a dead man walking before the
00:47:34.440 police even touched him. In other words, there was nothing they could have done to save his life
00:47:39.700 and nothing they did that changed whether he lived or died. Because he was a dead man, and he was going
00:47:46.360 to die in the next few minutes from the fentanyl in his body. I'm a bit of an expert on this. My stepson
00:47:52.280 died the same way. And if that's true, and he had some other stuff in there too, but if that's true,
00:48:00.880 I just can't see any scenario in which the police officers are charged with the worst of the crimes.
00:48:07.360 They might be charged with, I don't know, you know, not doing enough to save him or something,
00:48:12.840 but I don't think there's any chance that they're going to be charged with killing him.
00:48:16.080 So you should get ready for that. Sorry.
00:48:20.300 Might be a little more blood coming out of my nose for a day or two.
00:48:26.440 Molly Hemingway
00:48:27.400 had this comment about the Washington Post
00:48:30.720 on Twitter. She said that,
00:48:32.860 fascinating that the Washington Post frets that the truth coming out about the Russia collusion hoax
00:48:38.520 against Trump would impact an election.
00:48:40.840 when, as she points out, the Russia collusion hoax
00:48:44.440 that the Washington Post perpetuated
00:48:46.660 dramatically helped Democrats in the
00:48:48.940 2018 midterm election.
00:48:51.080 Now, I don't know if you can
00:48:52.400 directly say
00:48:54.880 that one issue caused the
00:48:56.680 2018 midterm result,
00:48:59.400 but it was a big one.
00:49:01.660 You know, it was maybe
00:49:02.740 the biggest one.
00:49:03.480 So,
00:49:05.240 this,
00:49:08.260 it's just funny that,
00:49:11.020 you know,
00:49:12.620 the Washington Post
00:49:13.620 having completely,
00:49:15.220 you know, been involved in
00:49:17.200 basically a coup against the United States,
00:49:22.120 in effect,
00:49:23.340 because their reporting supported a hoax
00:49:25.660 that was a coup against the United States.
00:49:28.360 And, in my opinion,
00:49:29.800 and now they're complaining that the
00:49:32.860 truth coming out
00:49:34.500 about the hoax,
00:49:35.960 if it comes out before the election,
00:49:37.420 might affect the election.
00:49:38.580 And I'm thinking to myself,
00:49:39.880 I think I'd want it to affect the election.
00:49:43.140 Isn't that the whole point?
00:49:44.720 The whole point
00:49:45.660 of knowledge and information
00:49:47.820 and data
00:49:48.400 and finding out what's real
00:49:49.700 and what isn't,
00:49:50.420 isn't the whole point of that
00:49:51.860 to affect the election?
00:49:54.160 I mean,
00:49:54.640 even if that's not the intention,
00:49:56.780 you hope that it does.
00:49:57.980 All right.
00:50:00.800 That
00:50:01.200 is, I think,
00:50:03.500 what I wanted to talk about today.
00:50:07.800 Knowledge is power.
00:50:08.800 You were right.
00:50:10.140 All right.
00:50:11.100 Somebody says,
00:50:12.040 somebody else is reporting
00:50:13.020 that hydroxychloroquine
00:50:14.260 is
00:50:14.800 effective.
00:50:17.220 Well,
00:50:17.780 we shall find out.
00:50:18.620 I was watching that
00:50:19.460 one of the doctors,
00:50:20.780 the front-line doctors,
00:50:22.240 the
00:50:22.980 woman who was not
00:50:25.620 the Nigerian doctor,
00:50:26.700 she got fired
00:50:30.000 for appearing
00:50:31.460 and talking about
00:50:32.120 hydroxychloroquine.
00:50:33.860 So,
00:50:34.440 that's not good.
00:50:36.080 But I did listen
00:50:37.020 to her arguments,
00:50:38.300 and
00:50:38.460 I've got to say,
00:50:39.980 I'm still 50-50.
00:50:41.760 I'm still 50%
00:50:43.040 on the
00:50:44.300 whether hydroxychloroquine
00:50:46.460 is a game-changer
00:50:47.460 or not.
00:50:48.140 I was seeing
00:50:51.440 another tweet
00:50:52.020 that Kanye
00:50:52.500 is dropping
00:50:53.640 some good tweets,
00:50:55.660 so I'll go
00:50:55.940 change that.
00:50:57.680 Yes,
00:50:58.140 Simone Gold,
00:50:59.140 Dr. Simone
00:51:00.200 Gold
00:51:00.840 is her name.
00:51:03.140 All right.
00:51:05.540 Please stream
00:51:06.360 on YouTube
00:51:06.940 too,
00:51:07.880 somebody says.
00:51:09.680 Well,
00:51:10.300 I post on YouTube
00:51:11.800 an hour later,
00:51:12.980 so you can see it there
00:51:13.760 an hour later.
00:51:14.340 but YouTube
00:51:16.160 demonetizes me,
00:51:18.620 so I'm not
00:51:20.100 pro-YouTube.
00:51:22.060 So,
00:51:22.260 YouTube
00:51:22.620 monetizes
00:51:23.820 two different ways.
00:51:24.840 One is
00:51:25.200 subscription
00:51:25.880 people,
00:51:27.280 people who pay
00:51:27.960 a subscription
00:51:28.580 to Nazi ads,
00:51:30.100 so I'll get
00:51:30.560 a small percentage
00:51:31.560 of that based
00:51:32.140 on how many
00:51:32.540 people watch
00:51:33.020 the views,
00:51:33.820 but they usually
00:51:35.120 demonetize me
00:51:37.020 for advertising,
00:51:39.020 which
00:51:39.760 would be tempting
00:51:41.320 to blame YouTube
00:51:42.060 for that,
00:51:42.700 but their business
00:51:43.340 model is that
00:51:44.240 advertisers themselves
00:51:46.040 specify who they
00:51:47.660 want to be
00:51:48.280 associated with,
00:51:49.540 and if they
00:51:50.160 don't want to be
00:51:51.080 associated with
00:51:51.680 a certain kind
00:51:52.160 of content,
00:51:52.980 it's really not
00:51:53.840 up to YouTube.
00:51:54.520 They kind of
00:51:55.000 have to serve
00:51:55.880 their customer.
00:52:02.660 Yeah,
00:52:03.300 the Herman Cain,
00:52:04.780 I'm not going to
00:52:05.320 comment on
00:52:06.040 Herman Cain
00:52:07.000 or John Lewis,
00:52:09.560 in part because
00:52:10.320 I didn't know much
00:52:11.060 about either one
00:52:11.760 of them,
00:52:12.300 and I have
00:52:12.740 nothing bad
00:52:14.000 or good to
00:52:14.720 say of any
00:52:15.920 value.
00:52:16.960 So it's
00:52:17.500 something that
00:52:17.920 happened,
00:52:18.420 it's just
00:52:19.000 not my
00:52:19.820 beat.
00:52:24.920 Somebody says,
00:52:25.760 get on Locals.
00:52:26.840 I am on Locals.
00:52:28.420 I think you may
00:52:29.240 be talking to the
00:52:30.020 person who asked
00:52:30.580 the question,
00:52:31.080 though.
00:52:31.500 So my content
00:52:32.240 also goes on the
00:52:33.460 Locals platform,
00:52:35.060 subscription service.
00:52:36.540 Any of you who
00:52:37.180 want to support
00:52:38.360 what I do and
00:52:39.360 see more of it,
00:52:40.000 that would be the
00:52:40.540 place to go.
00:52:42.160 So Locals is
00:52:43.400 what allows me
00:52:46.360 to say the
00:52:48.200 things in public
00:52:48.980 that you wish
00:52:50.180 you could say,
00:52:51.500 but you can't.
00:52:53.600 So this is the
00:52:54.480 way to look at it.
00:52:55.260 The reason that I'm
00:52:56.160 on these free
00:52:57.200 public services,
00:52:58.540 so you can get
00:52:59.140 this content for
00:52:59.900 free, but I'm
00:53:01.020 also on a
00:53:01.960 subscription service,
00:53:03.260 like who would
00:53:03.960 pay for things
00:53:05.320 they could get
00:53:05.800 for free?
00:53:06.200 Well, for one
00:53:07.340 thing, I have
00:53:07.880 maybe twice as
00:53:08.920 much content on
00:53:09.920 Locals.
00:53:10.600 You don't get to
00:53:11.460 see half of it.
00:53:12.940 So if it's more
00:53:13.760 provocative, I'll
00:53:14.880 keep it there.
00:53:15.860 Some things are
00:53:16.420 a little more
00:53:16.760 personal in some
00:53:17.580 cases, but
00:53:18.240 basically it's
00:53:20.120 everything you see
00:53:21.080 publicly plus
00:53:22.260 some good stuff.
00:53:24.340 But the real
00:53:25.300 reason that anybody
00:53:26.400 should be a
00:53:27.800 subscriber to that
00:53:28.820 is because that
00:53:31.760 allows me to
00:53:33.000 say in the
00:53:33.740 non-subscription
00:53:34.800 services,
00:53:35.420 anything I
00:53:36.820 want, that is
00:53:38.300 reasonable and
00:53:39.260 not trying to
00:53:40.360 be harmful.
00:53:41.660 So my freedom
00:53:43.860 of speech is
00:53:45.020 entirely dependent
00:53:46.200 on the fact that
00:53:48.200 I have a safe
00:53:49.180 space to go to
00:53:50.180 Locals, that if
00:53:52.220 I get completely
00:53:53.080 canceled off the
00:53:53.940 main platforms,
00:53:55.040 I'm still going
00:53:56.200 to be okay.
00:53:57.720 I've got a
00:53:58.740 little bit of a
00:53:59.540 fallback there.
00:54:00.720 So that gives
00:54:01.300 me the freedom
00:54:01.900 to push it as
00:54:03.980 far to the line
00:54:04.760 of cancellation
00:54:05.320 as I can.
00:54:06.900 Always trying to
00:54:07.700 be good
00:54:08.040 intentions.
00:54:09.420 Always trying to
00:54:10.260 be good
00:54:10.560 intentions.
00:54:11.220 If you're new
00:54:11.960 to me, let me
00:54:13.740 tell you that the
00:54:14.540 part of my life
00:54:15.640 where I was just
00:54:16.900 selfish and trying
00:54:18.560 to get what was
00:54:19.240 good for me, and
00:54:20.520 I think every
00:54:21.220 young person should
00:54:22.000 think that way.
00:54:22.640 They should be
00:54:23.040 building their
00:54:23.580 own wealth and
00:54:26.440 family and taking
00:54:27.700 care of their
00:54:28.180 personal business.
00:54:28.920 But when you
00:54:29.680 reach a certain
00:54:30.200 age, and if
00:54:31.420 you've had some
00:54:32.100 good luck in
00:54:33.000 life, there's
00:54:34.860 sort of a
00:54:35.360 natural transformation
00:54:37.680 to being more
00:54:38.860 outwardly focused.
00:54:41.220 After I got
00:54:42.200 divorced from my
00:54:43.900 first wife, I
00:54:45.700 felt myself sort
00:54:46.500 of disconnected
00:54:48.060 from my
00:54:50.040 personal life,
00:54:51.880 really.
00:54:52.740 And I made a
00:54:54.640 promise.
00:54:55.020 So this was
00:54:56.420 years ago.
00:54:57.480 And I promised
00:54:58.300 that from that
00:54:59.460 day on, that I
00:55:01.200 belonged to the
00:55:01.860 world.
00:55:03.100 So when you're
00:55:03.820 married, you
00:55:04.360 belong to your
00:55:05.680 little family
00:55:06.780 situation.
00:55:07.880 Now, Christina
00:55:08.380 is an
00:55:08.920 extraordinary woman,
00:55:11.100 and being
00:55:12.600 married to her
00:55:13.180 is wonderful,
00:55:16.120 first of all.
00:55:16.860 So if you
00:55:17.220 didn't know, I
00:55:17.620 just got married.
00:55:19.000 And so with
00:55:22.300 her, I can
00:55:23.500 maintain my
00:55:25.020 full marriage,
00:55:26.980 but also be
00:55:27.540 externally focused,
00:55:28.980 because she
00:55:29.820 came to me when
00:55:30.660 I already was.
00:55:31.620 So she knows
00:55:32.220 exactly who I
00:55:33.000 am.
00:55:33.660 So she's not
00:55:34.380 trying to change
00:55:35.100 me.
00:55:36.060 When she met
00:55:36.880 me, I was
00:55:37.500 already completely
00:55:38.480 externally focused.
00:55:40.180 So my mission
00:55:41.460 from now until
00:55:42.520 my organic body
00:55:44.780 leaves this
00:55:45.300 earth, and
00:55:45.720 maybe after,
00:55:46.460 who knows,
00:55:47.620 is to make
00:55:50.360 the world
00:55:50.700 better,
00:55:51.420 specifically the
00:55:52.260 United States.
00:55:53.620 And I think
00:55:54.060 that helps
00:55:54.460 the world.
00:55:55.220 And I'm
00:55:55.900 involved in a
00:55:56.840 whole bunch of
00:55:57.320 different ways to
00:55:58.120 do that.
00:55:58.660 I look for
00:55:59.220 areas in which
00:56:00.020 my special
00:56:00.900 blend of
00:56:02.240 skills can
00:56:02.920 make a
00:56:03.520 difference.
00:56:04.380 But I don't
00:56:05.160 have any bad
00:56:05.940 intentions.
00:56:07.340 If I tell you I
00:56:08.320 want to decouple
00:56:09.020 from China, it's
00:56:10.240 not because I
00:56:10.820 hate China, even
00:56:11.820 though I do.
00:56:13.300 It's because it's
00:56:14.220 good for us, and
00:56:15.280 it's going to be
00:56:15.780 good for the
00:56:16.220 world in the
00:56:16.700 long term.
00:56:18.180 So if you're
00:56:19.540 wondering what I
00:56:21.080 mean, what's
00:56:21.760 my secret
00:56:22.260 intention, what's
00:56:23.380 my game, what's
00:56:25.360 my scam, what's
00:56:26.240 my grift, it's
00:56:27.340 all the same.
00:56:28.760 For the last
00:56:29.460 ten years, I
00:56:31.440 belong to the
00:56:32.000 world.
00:56:33.040 Alright?
00:56:33.560 That's it.
00:56:34.680 And that's my
00:56:35.800 message for
00:56:36.820 today.
00:56:37.100 Thank you.
