Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1085 Scott Adams： Trump's Presser, Mysterious Unfollows, Biden Goes Full Gopher, Antifa Costume Play, CNN Helps Trump

00:00:00.000 Well, hello to all of you dog-faced pony soldiers, too. 0.92

00:00:17.520 It's good that we dog-faced pony soldiers could all come together.

00:00:22.300 And today could be an amazing, amazing coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:28.680 Why? Well, no reason. It's just going to be really good.

00:00:34.880 And if you'd like to enjoy it to its fullest, let me recommend that what you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stye, and a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:50.680 I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including shadow banning.

00:01:03.900 Sip. Go.

00:01:04.820 So, the simultaneous sip does get better every time.

00:01:15.020 First time I told you that, you thought, oh, Scott, it can't get better every time.

00:01:20.980 I mean, sooner or later, you're going to have one that's subpar.

00:01:24.760 But no, it never happens.

00:01:27.060 One time after another, the simultaneous sip crushes it.

00:01:30.600 Well, the biggest news, and I don't know how many of you had this on your predicted, but it seems that the candidate for the Libertarian Party was bitten by a possibly rabid bat.

00:01:51.260 And why wouldn't she be?

00:01:53.980 Because it's 2020.

00:01:56.000 In 2020, if the simulation isn't going to serve you up a major candidate for president who was bit by a, maybe rabid, bat, well, then the simulation is not trying.

00:02:09.600 And I think it's trying this year.

00:02:11.200 Oh, is it trying?

00:02:12.520 We've had more news this year than, well, all the other years.

00:02:18.580 Put together.

00:02:19.780 Multiplied by three.

00:02:21.140 Let's talk about some of that news.

00:02:22.760 Today, the headlines on Fox News are all a bunch of fake news.

00:02:28.660 So Fox has gone full fake news on the Bill Clinton, Epstein Island stuff.

00:02:34.540 And here's what I mean by fake news.

00:02:37.280 Do I know if Bill Clinton was ever on the island?

00:02:40.740 I do not.

00:02:42.140 Do I know that he wasn't on the island?

00:02:45.200 I do not.

00:02:46.240 But what I do know is that the person who, and as far as I can tell, the only evidence that he was on the island is from what I'd call an unreliable witness.

00:02:59.600 The same person who accuses Dershowitz of being there.

00:03:05.400 And Dershowitz has pointed out that her credibility is whatever is less than zero.

00:03:13.360 So if you, here's my problem with Fox News on their coverage.

00:03:18.140 What they're covering is true.

00:03:21.500 What they're leaving out is almost criminal.

00:03:24.700 What they're leaving out is that the one accuser who saw Bill Clinton on that island has no credibility.

00:03:32.960 None.

00:03:34.060 And there's a background for that.

00:03:35.880 Alan Dershowitz does it.

00:03:37.880 I think the key reason that you should be aware of is that I think she also accused Al Gore of being there.

00:03:45.680 And I believe that there is a body of records proving that he was not there in the times that she said he was.

00:03:52.380 So, if caught in one lie that is identical to the type of lie, well, the type of accusation, that's a zero credibility situation.

00:04:04.480 That's not a, well, she got one wrong before, but that doesn't mean she's wrong about everything else.

00:04:10.020 No, it's a zero.

00:04:11.760 It's a zero credibility.

00:04:13.380 Which doesn't mean it didn't happen.

00:04:14.980 Remember, we live in an anything's possible world where candidates for president can be bitten by a possibly rabid bet.

00:04:26.360 So, nothing's off the table.

00:04:28.580 I'm just saying that if you run this story without very prominently saying the only evidence has zero credibility, that's just fake news.

00:04:37.460 So, if you think your fake news is only coming to you from the left, there's a prime example of Fox News faking it up for you.

00:04:45.700 And again, the news is accurate, but leaving out that context just turns it into fake news, in my opinion.

00:04:55.220 So, here's a story that should worry the hell out of you.

00:04:58.880 So, one of my followers, and might be on this periscope right now, D, D, Texas Grandma, 65, Grandma spelled G-M-A, noted that she was following me, but then somehow got unfollowed.

00:05:15.240 So, automatically unfollowed.

00:05:16.920 So, this prompted me to circle back to a story that I'd been talking about maybe a year ago, I can't remember, in which I had noticed that I had been unfollowed from Ambassador Grinnell, Richard Grinnell.

00:05:33.120 Now, I don't know what title you would give him, ex-ambassador, or do you still call them ambassadors after they're not ambassadors?

00:05:40.860 I don't know what the rule on titles is, but you know what I'm talking about.

00:05:44.080 He was acting out of the DNI for a while.

00:05:46.920 But, I had been unfollowed from him, I think twice.

00:05:53.640 And so, a year ago, I'd asked if other people had been unfollowed, and it turns out there was a massive number of people in the comments that said,

00:06:02.580 Oh yeah, I just checked.

00:06:04.380 I was totally following him, and now I'm not.

00:06:08.020 So, I decided to recheck that.

00:06:10.520 So, a year has gone by, just to see if it's still happening.

00:06:14.800 And, sure enough, I don't know if it's like a new wave of unfollows, or if it's still some trickle from the past.

00:06:23.420 But, once again, my comments were filled with people who said,

00:06:27.360 What the?

00:06:28.800 I was following him, but now I'm not.

00:06:32.140 And now I have to follow him back again.

00:06:33.920 And so, I thought I would just test one more account, just to see if I could guess somebody who was likely to have the same situation.

00:06:44.680 And, the criteria I used was, okay, what is it about Ambassador and or Richard Grinnell?

00:06:53.180 Again, I don't know.

00:06:54.600 I don't know how the titles work for Ambassador.

00:06:57.500 But, let's say he's always an ambassador if he ever was one.

00:07:00.700 Let's go with that standard.

00:07:02.020 So, I thought, you know, what does he have in common?

00:07:08.020 What is there about him that would make him a target for this?

00:07:10.900 And, the obvious answer is that he's an unusually good public spokesperson supporting President Trump.

00:07:19.800 And, I thought, all right, well, I'll pick somebody else who is in that category of an unusually good communicator in favor of President Trump.

00:07:29.020 So, I did a second tweet this morning asking people how many had been unfollowed from Matt Gaetz.

00:07:36.420 So, Congressman Gaetz.

00:07:38.520 And, it turns out, a lot.

00:07:42.420 A lot.

00:07:43.020 Now, keep in mind, the people who are answering are just the people who see my Twitter feed, and also followed Matt Gaetz, and also saw that tweet, and also checked, and also thought to put a comment about it.

00:07:59.640 So, if I can turn up that many people in 60 seconds, who say, oh, yeah, that happened to me, is it possible they're all imagining that?

00:08:11.760 I mean, it is possible.

00:08:15.420 By the way, it is possible.

00:08:18.140 It is completely within the realm of possibility that we're all imagining it.

00:08:23.020 But, I don't think so.

00:08:25.320 I don't think so.

00:08:27.340 It would be quite shocking if it were the case.

00:08:30.280 But, actually, you can't rule it out.

00:08:32.840 I'm going to give you another hypothesis, which I also do not rule out.

00:08:37.480 But, I think it could be ruled out pretty quickly if I just ask people on Twitter.

00:08:43.500 And, it goes like this.

00:08:47.040 At least one person has had the following experience on an Android device.

00:08:52.260 And, the claim is this, that there's something about the app running on an Android device.

00:08:59.420 And, I don't know if it's every Android device, every release.

00:09:03.360 I don't know if it's the app or if they're using the browser to get to it.

00:09:07.120 So, there's a lot I don't know.

00:09:08.480 But, the claim is this.

00:09:10.200 And, you've had this experience.

00:09:11.660 Have you ever had the experience where you're in some kind of an app, doesn't have to be Twitter,

00:09:16.520 and you go to click something, and just before you click it, the screen moves.

00:09:22.400 And, you click the wrong thing.

00:09:24.160 How many times has that happened?

00:09:26.140 Probably a lot, right?

00:09:27.680 Your finger is moving in to press a button, and then the screen scrolls, and you press the wrong button.

00:09:33.120 You're like, ah!

00:09:34.380 Wrong button.

00:09:35.420 I deleted a couple of messages yesterday by wrong fingering them.

00:09:40.280 Anyway, so there's a belief, or no, not a belief, a hypothesis.

00:09:44.720 There's a hypothesis that there might be one interface situation where people are automatically unfollowing who do not mean to do so.

00:09:57.180 But, how likely is that?

00:10:00.880 I don't think any of that explains it.

00:10:03.200 To me, it looks like the A hypothesis has to be that there is some way that somebody is influencing Twitter.

00:10:12.440 It could be somebody from the outside.

00:10:15.480 It doesn't have to be an insider.

00:10:17.220 It could be somebody from the outside.

00:10:19.080 But, something's happening, clearly.

00:10:21.760 We don't know if it's third-party apps, because that's my other hypothesis.

00:10:26.860 When you sign up for some third-party apps, say, TikTok.

00:10:31.400 Just to pick a random example, I'll just randomly pick TikTok.

00:10:35.620 Let's say you had the TikTok app, and you wanted to sometimes share your TikToks on Twitter.

00:10:43.800 Well, I believe it asks you if TikTok could have control of your Twitter account.

00:10:49.680 Yeah, think about that.

00:10:52.100 That gives the Chinese government control, I think.

00:10:56.840 I would need a fact check on this.

00:10:58.700 But, if you have TikTok and Twitter, both apps, on your phone, and you've told TikTok it can manage some of your Twitter actions,

00:11:11.300 could the Chinese government, through TikTok, cause you to unfollow Ambassador Grinnell?

00:11:19.200 Could it?

00:11:20.940 I think yes, but I would need some kind of a fact check on that.

00:11:25.260 All right.

00:11:29.920 Yesterday, Twitter purged a bunch of accounts.

00:11:33.780 You saw a lot of people complaining,

00:11:35.220 Hey, my number of followers went down.

00:11:39.220 I don't think I'd worry about any of that yet,

00:11:42.240 because there's no evidence to suggest that's anything but maintenance.

00:11:46.780 Yeah, it's probably just getting rid of bots.

00:11:49.040 Probably just, you know, maybe cleaning out some, you know,

00:11:54.340 dormant accounts, that sort of thing.

00:11:56.580 So, I lost, just in case you want to know if it was just you,

00:12:00.880 I think I lost, it's hard to know,

00:12:03.300 because I'm adding people at the same time, they're subtracting people.

00:12:07.020 But if I were to baseline it,

00:12:09.560 fewer than a thousand users, maybe,

00:12:12.460 out of half a million.

00:12:14.780 So, it wasn't a big percentage.

00:12:16.460 And I think you would be better off if they called the herd once in a while anyway,

00:12:21.680 as long as they're doing it for the right reasons.

00:12:23.680 So, I wouldn't worry about any of that yet.

00:12:27.280 Did all of you see the press conference that the president did yesterday,

00:12:30.840 which was more like a monologue and a lot less like a press conference?

00:12:35.500 So, of course, most of the, you know,

00:12:37.840 I think most of the networks probably didn't cover it,

00:12:40.960 because they like the question part,

00:12:42.960 where they can try to embarrass the president.

00:12:45.280 They don't like the monologue part,

00:12:47.240 where he just talks about his accomplishments.

00:12:49.960 But I gotta say,

00:12:52.140 that was one of the strongest press conferences that I've seen.

00:12:58.240 And again, I'm not sure if you want to call it a press conference.

00:13:01.360 It was more like a monologue.

00:13:02.540 But the monologue part was extraordinarily good.

00:13:08.260 And it was extraordinarily good for a number of reasons.

00:13:11.720 One was his tone and presentation.

00:13:15.680 It was, I would call it, serious and powerful,

00:13:22.200 you know, with sort of some joking at the end,

00:13:24.400 which was extra good.

00:13:26.080 But when he was talking about his accomplishments,

00:13:29.400 you know, he would say stuff like,

00:13:30.600 you know, we've done X,

00:13:31.840 and I'd say, wow, that's pretty good.

00:13:35.100 You know, that's a pretty good thing to stick in there.

00:13:37.620 And then he'd say another accomplishment.

00:13:39.700 And I think, that's two.

00:13:41.740 And those are both pretty good.

00:13:44.020 Pretty strong.

00:13:45.340 And then there'd be another one.

00:13:47.160 And they were,

00:13:48.060 they all seem to have a flavor to them

00:13:50.780 of strength.

00:13:53.180 Right?

00:13:53.620 When he talked about the Tennessee Valley Authority,

00:13:56.300 which, frankly, most of us,

00:13:58.540 maybe none of us really understand what the hell that is.

00:14:01.240 But it's some kind of a quasi-public,

00:14:04.180 private government situation.

00:14:06.820 I don't know.

00:14:07.460 I was too bored to look into it.

00:14:09.540 But when the president said,

00:14:11.520 you know,

00:14:11.880 we have some problems with their leadership,

00:14:14.480 I fired the chairman of the board.

00:14:16.340 I thought to myself,

00:14:19.280 well, that's pretty good.

00:14:20.700 That's pretty good.

00:14:21.840 What would you love to see more

00:14:23.840 than the president firing somebody

00:14:25.560 who had it coming,

00:14:27.180 according, you know,

00:14:28.160 allegedly?

00:14:29.260 It's a real strong move.

00:14:30.880 So I don't know if the,

00:14:31.920 you know,

00:14:32.140 the details of the situation,

00:14:34.360 but in terms of the press conference,

00:14:36.880 leading off with a strong manager move

00:14:40.040 of this guy wasn't doing it right,

00:14:42.400 and so I fired the chairman of the board

00:14:45.060 and I'm going to keep firing all the board members

00:14:48.320 because I guess that was the power

00:14:49.720 that the government has.

00:14:51.540 I'm going to keep firing board members

00:14:53.140 until they change the situation.

00:14:55.360 And then apparently he got what he wanted,

00:14:58.620 which was also strong

00:15:00.920 because I think the problem was

00:15:03.200 they were firing Americans 0.96

00:15:04.640 who were higher paid

00:15:06.420 to replace them with lower paid

00:15:08.860 employees from other countries

00:15:11.860 and then asking the Americans

00:15:14.040 who were being fired

00:15:14.780 to train their lower-cost replacements.

00:15:17.880 Now, if your president

00:15:19.360 isn't willing to fire people over that,

00:15:22.480 you need a new president

00:15:23.680 because if you're the jobs president

00:15:27.340 and the, you know,

00:15:28.740 America first president,

00:15:30.640 that is a really strong play.

00:15:33.540 So just the optics of it

00:15:35.620 and I would say the competence of it

00:15:38.440 because it just looks like,

00:15:39.680 oh, shoot,

00:15:40.360 that's exactly what you need.

00:15:42.300 You need somebody

00:15:42.900 who's going to fire those guys

00:15:44.060 until they stop this.

00:15:47.000 And there's a list of other things.

00:15:48.860 I forget the details,

00:15:49.780 but every one of them was strong

00:15:51.160 and then he ended with a joke at the end.

00:15:53.340 I would give,

00:15:53.880 I think this is maybe,

00:15:56.760 maybe,

00:15:57.320 I don't know if you would agree,

00:16:00.020 but maybe the strongest

00:16:02.000 public appearance he's ever made.

00:16:06.600 I don't think I've ever seen

00:16:07.900 better than that.

00:16:09.180 You know,

00:16:09.680 we like the rallies

00:16:11.020 and the fun

00:16:11.660 and the controversial ones,

00:16:13.260 but when he turns off

00:16:14.320 the controversy

00:16:15.120 and at the press conference,

00:16:17.980 he just turned off the controversy,

00:16:20.060 in my opinion,

00:16:21.120 you know,

00:16:21.380 relative to any Trump situation.

00:16:25.160 But when he turns it off

00:16:26.740 and he just goes,

00:16:29.040 I'm doing the job for you,

00:16:31.340 it's really strong.

00:16:32.680 But we do like the provocation as well.

00:16:36.740 Now, here's the funniest thing he did.

00:16:38.360 One of his executive orders

00:16:39.840 was,

00:16:41.260 is going to be,

00:16:42.160 he just announced it,

00:16:43.080 but hasn't done it,

00:16:44.080 an executive order

00:16:45.080 to require that

00:16:48.480 pre-existing conditions

00:16:50.760 are covered by insurance.

00:16:53.720 Now, how did the press cover that?

00:16:56.260 Now, you are aware

00:16:58.620 that the president

00:17:00.060 is often accused

00:17:01.500 of being the guy

00:17:03.180 who's going to

00:17:03.940 take that right away,

00:17:05.480 the right to be covered

00:17:07.220 even if you have

00:17:07.860 pre-existing conditions.

00:17:09.700 Wasn't that one of the biggest,

00:17:11.100 the biggest claims

00:17:13.460 against this president

00:17:14.540 is that he was the one

00:17:16.600 who would be behind

00:17:18.280 taking away

00:17:19.080 your pre-existing coverage rights?

00:17:22.080 And then the way

00:17:24.540 that the press covered it,

00:17:26.060 when he says,

00:17:26.800 I'll do an executive order,

00:17:28.180 which is a really public thing.

00:17:29.820 I mean, basically,

00:17:31.300 you would be roasted

00:17:33.000 if you made such a direct

00:17:35.140 executive order,

00:17:37.080 made a public deal

00:17:37.920 about not taking away

00:17:39.160 existing,

00:17:40.960 you know,

00:17:42.180 what I said,

00:17:42.820 the coverage for existing conditions.

00:17:45.060 And how did the news cover it?

00:17:49.480 The news covered it

00:17:50.880 as it was stupid. 0.77

00:17:52.500 Because that's already the law

00:17:54.520 under Obama's past work.

00:17:58.360 Now, do you feel like

00:17:59.660 that's the right context

00:18:00.920 to cover this?

00:18:02.240 To say that

00:18:03.140 it's an unnecessary

00:18:05.500 executive order

00:18:06.540 because it's already the law?

00:18:09.900 Now, here's the beauty part.

00:18:12.240 Because it was wrong,

00:18:14.360 but it's that little bit

00:18:15.440 of wrong part,

00:18:16.900 yes, it is true

00:18:18.060 that you don't need

00:18:18.880 an executive order

00:18:19.800 for something that's already

00:18:20.800 the law of the land.

00:18:22.080 So in that sense,

00:18:23.940 it's sort of wrong,

00:18:25.600 which is what causes

00:18:26.700 CNN to cover it.

00:18:28.360 And then while they're

00:18:29.540 covering it,

00:18:30.660 they have guaranteed

00:18:31.500 that their audience

00:18:32.500 hears this message.

00:18:34.340 Under a Trump administration,

00:18:36.520 you're really,

00:18:37.800 really protected

00:18:38.520 on your earlier conditions.

00:18:43.440 Trump managed to do something

00:18:47.680 that didn't make sense.

00:18:48.860 an executive order

00:18:50.240 for something that's already

00:18:51.460 the law of the land.

00:18:53.500 It doesn't make sense

00:18:54.540 from a CNN worldview.

00:18:55.820 I actually think

00:18:56.420 it makes complete sense.

00:18:58.200 But that little bit

00:18:59.380 of wrongness

00:18:59.940 made them boost

00:19:00.840 his signal perfectly.

00:19:03.200 This could not have

00:19:04.140 worked out better

00:19:04.800 for the president.

00:19:05.700 If you are ever

00:19:06.720 going to be criticized,

00:19:09.540 let's hope it's this way.

00:19:11.480 How about this?

00:19:12.400 You're running

00:19:12.840 for president,

00:19:13.460 and you say,

00:19:14.840 not only am I

00:19:15.680 in favor of peace,

00:19:17.000 but I'm going to

00:19:17.940 pass a resolution

00:19:19.440 saying that I'm peaceful.

00:19:21.760 And then the news says,

00:19:23.220 you idiot, 0.99

00:19:25.260 you don't need

00:19:25.940 a resolution

00:19:26.680 to say how peaceful

00:19:27.800 you are

00:19:28.320 because you're already

00:19:29.540 being peaceful.

00:19:31.060 Well, if the message

00:19:31.960 you wanted for the public

00:19:32.960 is, hey,

00:19:33.540 I'm the peaceful candidate,

00:19:35.400 that's how you get there.

00:19:36.960 So I thought

00:19:37.800 that was a fairly

00:19:38.440 brilliant move

00:19:40.540 by the president

00:19:41.300 to add

00:19:43.760 an executive order

00:19:44.720 that is unnecessary

00:19:46.040 but absolutely

00:19:48.160 persuasive.

00:19:49.700 Because I don't think

00:19:50.660 anybody is going

00:19:51.620 to walk away

00:19:52.120 from that thinking,

00:19:53.380 oh, he's going

00:19:54.060 to do an executive order

00:19:55.080 and then do exactly

00:19:55.960 the opposite

00:19:56.500 if he gets re-elected.

00:19:58.200 It doesn't feel

00:19:59.340 like that's even

00:20:00.440 slightly possible.

00:20:01.880 This is clearly

00:20:02.760 why he wants.

00:20:04.020 He wants these conditions

00:20:05.240 to be covered.

00:20:06.140 That could not be

00:20:07.220 any more clear.

00:20:09.820 All right.

00:20:11.300 according to Rasmussen,

00:20:13.880 and I said this before

00:20:14.980 but it's blowing

00:20:16.260 my mind,

00:20:18.120 36% of black

00:20:21.020 likely voters

00:20:22.300 approve of the

00:20:23.880 president's job

00:20:24.620 performance at the

00:20:25.500 moment.

00:20:27.420 36%.

00:20:27.980 If that number

00:20:30.760 is anywhere

00:20:31.700 close to true,

00:20:33.520 the election's

00:20:34.280 over.

00:20:35.520 Now, I think

00:20:36.200 the election's

00:20:36.760 over anyway.

00:20:37.840 I don't think

00:20:38.480 Biden actually

00:20:39.380 has any real chance.

00:20:41.060 And anybody

00:20:41.420 pretending he does

00:20:42.560 at this point,

00:20:44.200 you have to sort

00:20:45.400 of check yourself

00:20:46.460 at this point.

00:20:47.560 This isn't a real

00:20:48.560 election.

00:20:49.740 Unless they

00:20:50.500 substitute somebody

00:20:51.720 in who might

00:20:52.500 have a chance,

00:20:53.760 this is going to be

00:20:54.860 a stroll to re-election.

00:20:56.840 This is not a sprint.

00:20:58.860 The president

00:20:59.480 could stop

00:21:00.280 for a smoke break

00:21:01.280 and still get

00:21:02.280 elected president.

00:21:03.040 The glide path

00:21:04.940 for the president

00:21:05.600 is pretty clear

00:21:07.560 at this point.

00:21:09.260 Just show up,

00:21:11.100 do the kind of work

00:21:12.160 he did at the

00:21:12.760 press conference

00:21:13.760 yesterday,

00:21:14.320 which was outstanding,

00:21:16.140 message-wise

00:21:17.020 and tone-wise

00:21:18.400 and everything else.

00:21:20.100 And I think

00:21:20.620 he's there.

00:21:22.960 But,

00:21:23.580 here's the question

00:21:24.520 we must ask

00:21:25.340 ourselves.

00:21:26.760 Why is there

00:21:27.700 such a delay

00:21:28.560 in the vice

00:21:29.200 president pick?

00:21:30.680 Now, obviously,

00:21:31.500 some of the delay

00:21:32.260 might be because

00:21:32.920 it's a weekend

00:21:33.440 and they would

00:21:34.560 wait for something

00:21:35.180 like a Tuesday

00:21:36.300 or a Monday

00:21:36.920 to control

00:21:38.220 the weekly news cycle.

00:21:40.300 So it could be

00:21:41.060 just, you know,

00:21:41.740 it takes a while

00:21:42.260 to get things done.

00:21:43.620 It could be

00:21:44.140 it took longer

00:21:44.740 than they thought

00:21:45.620 possible.

00:21:46.980 But I think

00:21:47.780 all the smart people

00:21:48.700 are saying

00:21:49.240 it looks like

00:21:50.620 they might be

00:21:51.980 delaying

00:21:53.000 because they've

00:21:54.120 got a problem

00:21:54.760 knowing who should

00:21:55.560 be at the top

00:21:56.280 of the ticket

00:21:56.760 if you know

00:21:57.300 what I mean.

00:21:58.220 And you don't

00:21:58.840 want to waste

00:21:59.580 your best candidate

00:22:01.140 in the second

00:22:02.220 place

00:22:02.700 if that's the

00:22:03.840 one you think

00:22:04.440 should have been

00:22:04.900 in the first

00:22:05.300 place.

00:22:06.860 So you can see

00:22:08.000 where they're

00:22:08.640 jockeying and

00:22:09.180 saying to themselves,

00:22:09.920 well,

00:22:10.660 maybe it's not

00:22:11.560 Kamala Harris

00:22:12.300 for the VP

00:22:13.440 role.

00:22:14.740 And by the way,

00:22:15.940 if Biden

00:22:16.580 announces

00:22:17.240 it's not

00:22:18.020 Kamala Harris,

00:22:19.620 I think you're

00:22:21.500 going to have to

00:22:21.920 start seeing

00:22:22.580 Kamala Harris

00:22:23.280 as maybe the

00:22:24.000 replacement for

00:22:24.740 the top spot.

00:22:25.960 That might be

00:22:26.760 a signal,

00:22:27.880 but could also

00:22:28.580 be a signal

00:22:29.100 not, of course,

00:22:30.100 could go either way.

00:22:31.140 But certainly

00:22:32.060 my antennae

00:22:34.000 would go up

00:22:35.200 and say,

00:22:36.040 what?

00:22:37.540 What?

00:22:38.280 Why are you

00:22:38.900 holding Kamala

00:22:39.900 Harris out

00:22:40.560 available for

00:22:43.100 a job

00:22:43.620 if not the

00:22:45.460 vice presidency?

00:22:47.920 And why

00:22:48.620 would black 0.96

00:22:50.320 likely voters

00:22:51.300 have such a

00:22:52.020 high approval

00:22:52.660 of Trump,

00:22:54.060 36% being

00:22:55.260 at least

00:22:55.660 historically high?

00:22:56.460 and I

00:22:59.720 have some

00:23:00.060 hypotheses.

00:23:01.940 I've often

00:23:02.640 told you

00:23:03.060 that one

00:23:03.600 of the

00:23:04.040 keys to

00:23:05.280 persuasion

00:23:06.620 is simplicity

00:23:07.840 and another

00:23:09.360 key is

00:23:10.000 repetition.

00:23:11.420 Build the

00:23:11.920 wall,

00:23:12.280 build the

00:23:12.660 wall,

00:23:13.000 build the

00:23:13.360 wall.

00:23:13.820 If you

00:23:14.240 hear it

00:23:14.500 enough

00:23:14.900 and it's

00:23:15.660 simple

00:23:15.960 and it's

00:23:16.360 unambiguous,

00:23:17.720 it just

00:23:18.260 becomes part

00:23:21.060 of you

00:23:21.340 after a

00:23:21.760 while.

00:23:21.980 There's

00:23:22.760 nothing

00:23:23.100 that you

00:23:23.460 can hear

00:23:23.840 that much

00:23:24.680 without

00:23:25.680 being forced

00:23:27.140 to incorporate

00:23:27.820 it into

00:23:28.320 your worldview

00:23:28.900 and give

00:23:29.380 it a

00:23:29.620 priority

00:23:30.000 that maybe

00:23:30.500 it didn't

00:23:30.820 deserve.

00:23:32.360 But think

00:23:32.800 about this.

00:23:34.020 Have you

00:23:34.500 seen how

00:23:35.300 disciplined

00:23:35.880 Trump has

00:23:37.420 been for

00:23:38.020 the past

00:23:38.520 several years

00:23:39.580 when he

00:23:40.400 talks about

00:23:41.080 unemployment?

00:23:42.560 He always,

00:23:43.580 always leads

00:23:45.440 with what

00:23:47.260 he did for

00:23:47.760 the African

00:23:48.280 American

00:23:48.760 employment

00:23:50.020 rate.

00:23:50.400 now if

00:23:52.840 you as

00:23:53.400 president

00:23:53.860 the first

00:23:55.860 thing that

00:23:56.300 comes out

00:23:56.680 of your

00:23:56.900 mouth

00:23:57.220 every time

00:23:57.760 you talk

00:23:58.140 about good

00:23:58.660 employment

00:23:59.100 is what

00:23:59.940 you've done

00:24:00.320 for the

00:24:00.640 black

00:24:00.880 community.

00:24:02.060 The first

00:24:02.780 few times

00:24:03.240 you hear

00:24:03.580 this,

00:24:04.100 what do

00:24:04.320 you think

00:24:04.580 to yourself?

00:24:05.260 Well,

00:24:06.280 politician.

00:24:08.060 Politician

00:24:08.540 pandering,

00:24:09.240 right?

00:24:09.960 That's a

00:24:10.420 little pandering.

00:24:11.180 Yeah,

00:24:11.400 of course he's

00:24:12.020 going to do

00:24:12.340 a shout out

00:24:12.980 to a group

00:24:13.640 that he wants

00:24:14.180 to get some

00:24:14.660 folks for.

00:24:15.500 So that's

00:24:15.920 the way you

00:24:16.180 hear the

00:24:16.460 first few

00:24:17.140 times.

00:24:18.140 After

00:24:18.460 you've heard

00:24:18.820 it 50

00:24:20.220 times,

00:24:21.260 you start

00:24:21.700 thinking,

00:24:22.280 oh,

00:24:22.540 I guess

00:24:23.020 that's just

00:24:23.540 a pandering

00:24:24.640 thing he's

00:24:25.180 going to do

00:24:25.560 every time.

00:24:27.220 After you

00:24:27.980 hear it a

00:24:28.720 thousand times,

00:24:30.520 it's just

00:24:31.060 true.

00:24:33.220 Right?

00:24:33.700 So this,

00:24:34.500 you've watched

00:24:35.280 the transformation

00:24:36.060 from a

00:24:37.220 pandering

00:24:37.740 kind of

00:24:38.200 thing that

00:24:38.680 any president

00:24:39.300 would say

00:24:40.020 to he

00:24:41.460 has said

00:24:41.900 it so

00:24:42.560 many times,

00:24:43.940 so consistently,

00:24:45.860 so disciplined,

00:24:47.700 and in my

00:24:48.220 opinion,

00:24:48.540 quite credibly,

00:24:49.800 like it

00:24:50.080 doesn't look

00:24:50.560 fake or

00:24:51.080 artificial in

00:24:51.940 the least,

00:24:53.200 he has

00:24:53.700 transformed that

00:24:54.760 impossible thought

00:24:56.520 into,

00:24:58.260 you believe it

00:24:59.140 now,

00:24:59.420 right?

00:25:00.520 Do you

00:25:01.120 believe that

00:25:02.060 the president

00:25:02.560 literally cares

00:25:04.020 that black 1.00

00:25:05.820 lives matter

00:25:06.480 in the context

00:25:08.040 of unemployment

00:25:08.740 especially?

00:25:09.960 He cares.

00:25:11.540 He cares.

00:25:12.320 And the thing

00:25:12.880 that people

00:25:13.520 seem to

00:25:14.720 forget

00:25:15.180 at is

00:25:16.680 that the

00:25:17.280 presidency

00:25:18.040 is pretty

00:25:18.640 transparent.

00:25:19.940 And you

00:25:20.220 can't do a

00:25:21.040 good job

00:25:21.460 for the

00:25:21.760 country,

00:25:23.000 you can't

00:25:23.660 do a good

00:25:24.060 job for

00:25:24.360 yourself

00:25:24.780 unless you

00:25:25.500 have done

00:25:25.760 a good

00:25:26.020 job for

00:25:26.360 the country.

00:25:26.840 The only

00:25:27.260 way this

00:25:27.740 president

00:25:28.060 comes on

00:25:28.560 ahead is

00:25:29.920 if he

00:25:30.260 does the

00:25:30.740 work.

00:25:31.660 That's the

00:25:32.260 only way.

00:25:33.100 It's so

00:25:33.640 transparent.

00:25:34.620 There's no

00:25:35.080 scenario in

00:25:35.760 which Trump

00:25:36.260 is thinking

00:25:36.660 to himself,

00:25:37.680 I think I'll

00:25:38.240 just ride

00:25:38.720 this and

00:25:39.140 milk it and

00:25:39.920 see if I

00:25:40.780 can make

00:25:41.100 some money

00:25:41.480 in my

00:25:41.800 side job

00:25:42.420 as the

00:25:43.760 Trump guy.

00:25:46.160 I can't

00:25:46.960 even imagine

00:25:47.460 it.

00:25:48.380 There's no

00:25:48.960 way he would

00:25:49.540 be so

00:25:50.420 unaware of

00:25:51.600 his environment,

00:25:52.680 I guess,

00:25:53.580 that he would

00:25:54.200 not understand

00:25:55.000 that the

00:25:55.600 one and

00:25:56.340 only path

00:25:57.340 he has

00:25:57.980 for the

00:25:59.420 rest of

00:25:59.880 his life,

00:26:00.420 his other

00:26:00.800 business

00:26:01.220 interests,

00:26:02.120 to do

00:26:02.540 well,

00:26:02.980 the one

00:26:03.560 and only

00:26:03.920 path is

00:26:05.240 to do

00:26:05.640 a really

00:26:06.340 good job

00:26:06.880 for the

00:26:07.240 public.

00:26:08.720 Short of

00:26:09.300 that,

00:26:09.660 it just

00:26:09.980 doesn't

00:26:10.260 work.

00:26:11.060 You can't

00:26:11.560 just leave

00:26:12.020 the job

00:26:12.380 and say,

00:26:12.720 well,

00:26:13.600 don't you

00:26:14.380 love me

00:26:14.720 anyway,

00:26:15.240 even though

00:26:15.680 you don't

00:26:15.980 like what

00:26:16.360 I did?

00:26:16.760 That's not

00:26:17.340 a thing.

00:26:18.260 He has

00:26:18.880 to do

00:26:19.240 a good

00:26:19.560 job.

00:26:20.060 He has

00:26:20.560 to.

00:26:21.240 And he

00:26:21.620 has to

00:26:22.000 do it

00:26:22.280 for black

00:26:23.760 Americans,

00:26:24.560 for everybody.

00:26:29.540 So I

00:26:30.060 think the

00:26:30.400 fact that

00:26:30.780 he always

00:26:31.280 highlights it

00:26:32.260 went from

00:26:33.660 a pandree

00:26:34.240 sounding thing

00:26:35.060 to a,

00:26:35.600 well,

00:26:35.880 he's got

00:26:36.420 to mean

00:26:36.700 it at

00:26:36.940 this point.

00:26:37.520 I mean,

00:26:37.880 that's

00:26:38.160 pretty

00:26:38.700 disciplined

00:26:39.240 to say

00:26:40.320 it so

00:26:40.620 often.

00:26:40.900 The other

00:26:42.040 thing that

00:26:42.700 doesn't get

00:26:43.420 enough play

00:26:44.000 is that

00:26:44.460 if you're

00:26:45.040 a black

00:26:45.960 voter or

00:26:47.500 just a

00:26:47.820 black

00:26:48.060 citizen,

00:26:49.260 do you

00:26:49.640 want open

00:26:50.140 borders?

00:26:51.800 No.

00:26:53.020 Do you

00:26:53.700 want less

00:26:54.200 choice in

00:26:54.900 school?

00:26:56.060 That's what

00:26:56.460 the Democrats

00:26:57.020 are offering you,

00:26:57.720 less choice

00:26:58.500 in school.

00:26:59.340 If you're

00:26:59.800 black,

00:27:00.140 do you want

00:27:00.480 that?

00:27:01.440 No.

00:27:02.420 No,

00:27:02.980 you don't.

00:27:04.000 Do you

00:27:04.340 want fewer

00:27:05.260 cops while you

00:27:06.380 live in your

00:27:06.960 high-crime

00:27:07.960 neighborhood in

00:27:08.720 too many

00:27:09.060 cases?

00:27:10.160 No.

00:27:11.420 Not most

00:27:12.020 people.

00:27:13.220 Most people

00:27:13.960 want some

00:27:14.700 good policing.

00:27:15.660 They just

00:27:15.880 want it to

00:27:16.240 be better.

00:27:16.800 Of course,

00:27:17.340 we all

00:27:17.620 do.

00:27:19.800 So,

00:27:20.520 if you

00:27:21.620 tell yourself

00:27:22.280 that this

00:27:22.780 36%

00:27:23.800 black approval 0.71

00:27:24.640 at the

00:27:25.340 Rasmussen

00:27:25.840 gets is

00:27:26.460 an outlier,

00:27:27.620 I would

00:27:28.240 say to

00:27:28.560 you,

00:27:29.320 could be.

00:27:31.020 Anything's

00:27:31.500 possible.

00:27:32.540 You could

00:27:33.000 have a

00:27:33.340 presidential

00:27:33.760 candidate

00:27:34.280 bitten by

00:27:35.340 a bat.

00:27:36.520 That might

00:27:37.040 be rabbit.

00:27:37.640 Maybe not.

00:27:39.340 Anything's

00:27:39.900 possible.

00:27:41.120 But I

00:27:42.160 feel like,

00:27:43.760 let me put

00:27:44.340 it a

00:27:44.560 different way.

00:27:45.600 I never

00:27:46.480 understood why

00:27:47.300 it wasn't

00:27:47.700 already 36%.

00:27:49.260 In my

00:27:50.720 mind,

00:27:51.500 if you

00:27:51.940 have any

00:27:52.720 appreciation

00:27:53.380 for what

00:27:54.060 black voters

00:27:55.560 want out

00:27:56.200 of life,

00:27:57.800 and again,

00:27:58.380 not treating

00:27:58.980 them as a

00:27:59.740 monolith,

00:28:00.640 I don't want

00:28:01.380 to go all

00:28:01.720 Joe Biden

00:28:02.260 on you,

00:28:03.000 but it is

00:28:03.520 true that

00:28:04.720 while there

00:28:06.020 are many

00:28:06.520 diverse voices

00:28:07.380 in every

00:28:08.020 group,

00:28:10.260 it is

00:28:11.260 true that

00:28:11.820 the black

00:28:12.580 community,

00:28:13.620 one would

00:28:14.180 expect,

00:28:15.160 would see

00:28:15.600 the same

00:28:16.020 benefits

00:28:16.560 that you

00:28:17.460 and I

00:28:17.760 see.

00:28:18.560 Why would

00:28:18.980 it be

00:28:19.180 different?

00:28:22.400 And I

00:28:22.940 think the

00:28:23.240 whole cries

00:28:24.800 of racism

00:28:25.440 are disappearing

00:28:26.320 every day

00:28:27.060 that Biden

00:28:27.640 does another.

00:28:29.220 What did

00:28:29.640 Trey Gowdy

00:28:30.240 call it?

00:28:30.800 He appeared

00:28:31.400 on The Five

00:28:32.060 yesterday,

00:28:32.780 a great

00:28:33.020 appearance on

00:28:33.520 The Five,

00:28:33.880 and he

00:28:35.860 went through

00:28:36.220 the list

00:28:36.680 of what

00:28:37.580 he called

00:28:37.940 Joe Biden's

00:28:38.900 racially

00:28:39.780 curious

00:28:40.500 comments,

00:28:41.440 which is

00:28:42.060 just the

00:28:42.880 freaking

00:28:43.140 best

00:28:44.120 framing

00:28:45.400 for this,

00:28:46.580 because I

00:28:47.340 don't think

00:28:47.640 anybody thinks

00:28:48.200 Joe Biden

00:28:48.920 is some

00:28:49.280 kind of a

00:28:49.720 racist, 0.77

00:28:50.780 but if

00:28:51.900 you make

00:28:52.300 enough

00:28:52.680 quote,

00:28:53.700 racially

00:28:54.340 curious

00:28:55.020 comments,

00:28:56.480 then it

00:28:57.960 starts sounding

00:28:58.700 like a

00:28:59.060 dog whistle,

00:28:59.660 doesn't it?

00:29:00.100 but because

00:29:02.000 it's

00:29:02.240 Biden,

00:29:03.440 the people

00:29:04.280 who are

00:29:05.140 on the

00:29:05.460 left must

00:29:06.640 be thinking

00:29:07.140 to themselves,

00:29:08.220 okay,

00:29:08.600 there are

00:29:09.100 a lot of

00:29:09.640 racially

00:29:10.120 curious

00:29:10.860 statements

00:29:11.480 he's made

00:29:12.040 throughout

00:29:12.360 time.

00:29:13.640 Do they

00:29:14.140 form this

00:29:15.120 pattern?

00:29:16.420 Because if

00:29:18.020 this were

00:29:18.520 a Republican,

00:29:19.800 it would

00:29:21.080 be a

00:29:21.360 pattern,

00:29:22.540 right?

00:29:23.740 But because

00:29:24.640 it's Biden,

00:29:25.820 is it a

00:29:26.300 pattern?

00:29:27.560 Or is it a

00:29:28.500 coincidence?

00:29:28.840 Is it

00:29:29.340 confirmation

00:29:29.740 bias?

00:29:30.800 Is it

00:29:31.120 just one

00:29:31.840 of those

00:29:32.180 things?

00:29:33.280 But if

00:29:33.640 it were

00:29:33.920 a Republican,

00:29:34.680 oh,

00:29:34.920 this would

00:29:35.500 definitely

00:29:35.880 be a

00:29:36.380 dog whistle

00:29:37.300 situation.

00:29:38.800 But no,

00:29:39.300 it's Biden.

00:29:40.180 I have to

00:29:40.860 think that

00:29:41.280 every time

00:29:41.740 Biden makes

00:29:42.520 another

00:29:42.920 racially

00:29:43.960 curious

00:29:44.700 comment,

00:29:46.440 that it

00:29:46.900 makes people

00:29:47.480 say,

00:29:48.040 maybe it's

00:29:49.780 just the

00:29:50.180 way people

00:29:50.660 talk,

00:29:51.920 right?

00:29:52.480 Maybe it's

00:29:53.300 just the

00:29:53.760 way people

00:29:54.180 this age

00:29:54.840 talk.

00:29:55.940 And maybe

00:29:56.340 Trump is

00:29:57.980 not sending

00:29:58.820 secret racist

00:30:00.720 whistles.

00:30:01.740 Maybe he

00:30:02.260 just talks

00:30:02.840 in a way

00:30:03.320 that's less

00:30:04.840 delicate or

00:30:05.640 more offensive.

00:30:07.120 And that's

00:30:07.580 all there is

00:30:07.980 to the

00:30:08.260 story,

00:30:08.680 because it

00:30:09.020 might be.

00:30:11.280 All right.

00:30:12.680 The Babylon 0.80

00:30:13.560 Bee, if

00:30:14.240 you're not

00:30:14.540 following the

00:30:14.960 Babylon Bee,

00:30:15.880 which is

00:30:16.220 like, I

00:30:17.360 guess I'd

00:30:17.740 call it

00:30:18.020 like the

00:30:18.340 onion,

00:30:19.020 except with

00:30:19.660 a conservative

00:30:20.360 flavor,

00:30:22.200 they are

00:30:22.940 really good.

00:30:24.500 So if

00:30:25.140 you like

00:30:25.480 your humor,

00:30:26.260 on politics

00:30:26.900 in particular,

00:30:28.260 do a

00:30:28.680 follow on

00:30:29.360 the Babylon

00:30:30.080 Bee.

00:30:30.720 But here's

00:30:31.180 one of their

00:30:31.560 headlines today.

00:30:34.540 So headline

00:30:35.500 from the

00:30:36.160 Babylon Bee

00:30:36.680 in a tweet,

00:30:37.740 Biden tells

00:30:38.440 staffers to

00:30:39.160 pick any

00:30:39.580 black person

00:30:40.200 for a VP

00:30:40.740 since,

00:30:42.160 quote,

00:30:42.940 they all

00:30:43.380 think the

00:30:43.800 same anyway.

00:30:46.740 Now,

00:30:47.380 if,

00:30:48.200 just for

00:30:49.300 context,

00:30:50.480 this is

00:30:50.920 alleged to

00:30:51.580 be what

00:30:51.980 Joe Biden

00:30:52.660 thinks,

00:30:53.680 that the

00:30:54.040 black community

00:30:54.620 thinks the

00:30:55.140 same.

00:30:55.540 So I'm

00:30:55.960 not laughing

00:30:56.540 at the

00:30:57.260 black

00:30:57.480 community,

00:30:58.180 I'm laughing

00:30:58.580 at Joe

00:30:58.980 Biden,

00:30:59.860 just to

00:31:00.300 remove any

00:31:01.040 doubt about

00:31:02.900 what that

00:31:03.260 means.

00:31:04.560 Kanye has

00:31:05.580 published his

00:31:07.420 platform.

00:31:09.320 And you

00:31:09.680 can go take

00:31:10.480 a look at

00:31:10.880 it.

00:31:11.080 It seems

00:31:11.560 that his

00:31:12.040 platform is

00:31:13.480 highly Bible

00:31:15.040 compatible,

00:31:16.500 so much so

00:31:17.240 that with

00:31:18.480 each thing

00:31:19.040 in his

00:31:19.400 platform,

00:31:20.260 he shows

00:31:20.980 you the

00:31:21.320 applicable Bible

00:31:22.360 verse that

00:31:23.160 supports it.

00:31:23.720 some of

00:31:25.120 the things

00:31:25.380 he wants

00:31:25.820 is prayer

00:31:26.300 in school,

00:31:27.940 and one

00:31:30.780 of his

00:31:31.040 big planks

00:31:31.580 is fixing

00:31:32.160 the school

00:31:32.640 system,

00:31:33.720 so it

00:31:34.080 works for

00:31:34.460 everybody.

00:31:35.800 Now,

00:31:37.480 I'm not

00:31:39.100 really into

00:31:39.940 the prayer

00:31:41.060 in school

00:31:41.700 debate.

00:31:44.240 I'm not a

00:31:44.900 believer,

00:31:45.860 and I don't

00:31:46.520 object to

00:31:47.160 it,

00:31:48.040 so work it

00:31:49.780 out among

00:31:50.140 yourselves.

00:31:50.700 I feel like

00:31:51.180 I could be

00:31:51.520 on the

00:31:51.760 sideline on

00:31:52.360 that one,

00:31:52.720 because I

00:31:53.980 don't need

00:31:54.440 the prayer

00:31:54.800 for myself,

00:31:56.280 but I

00:31:56.580 understand

00:31:57.900 his benefits.

00:31:59.580 So,

00:32:00.060 just work

00:32:00.560 it out

00:32:00.780 among

00:32:00.980 yourselves.

00:32:01.560 Whatever

00:32:01.720 you do

00:32:02.040 is fine

00:32:02.380 with me.

00:32:04.440 But here's

00:32:05.180 the part

00:32:05.420 I like.

00:32:06.440 Kanye's

00:32:06.900 platform is

00:32:07.560 actually the

00:32:08.120 best platform

00:32:08.840 I've ever

00:32:09.320 seen for

00:32:09.940 the black

00:32:10.460 community.

00:32:12.900 And I

00:32:13.840 don't know

00:32:14.100 if he'll

00:32:14.320 ever get

00:32:14.660 credit for

00:32:15.360 that,

00:32:16.080 but which

00:32:16.980 is the

00:32:17.400 other platform

00:32:18.160 that's

00:32:18.500 focusing on

00:32:19.360 schools as

00:32:20.700 as a key

00:32:22.260 lever.

00:32:24.080 Kanye covers

00:32:25.100 the other

00:32:25.500 stuff.

00:32:26.220 He even

00:32:26.660 says that

00:32:27.960 he would

00:32:28.180 treat

00:32:28.380 America

00:32:28.760 first.

00:32:30.260 So,

00:32:30.760 Kanye

00:32:31.020 actually says

00:32:32.420 explicitly

00:32:33.060 that he's

00:32:34.400 going to

00:32:34.700 negotiate,

00:32:35.460 etc.,

00:32:35.860 and treat

00:32:36.520 America

00:32:36.980 first as

00:32:38.380 the best

00:32:38.800 model to

00:32:39.360 move forward.

00:32:41.540 I think

00:32:42.340 you should

00:32:42.680 read it.

00:32:43.380 So,

00:32:43.540 just Google

00:32:43.960 it,

00:32:44.560 or I think

00:32:45.220 Mike Cernovich

00:32:45.960 tweeted it

00:32:46.700 if you want

00:32:47.060 to find it

00:32:47.460 on his

00:32:47.880 Twitter feed.

00:32:50.100 I think I

00:32:50.580 retweeted it.

00:32:51.800 And it's

00:32:53.200 worth reading.

00:32:54.400 It's worth

00:32:54.900 reading.

00:32:55.260 If you have

00:32:55.560 a few

00:32:55.860 minutes,

00:32:56.240 read Kanye

00:32:56.820 West's

00:32:57.700 thing.

00:32:58.660 Now,

00:32:59.060 I don't

00:32:59.280 know if

00:32:59.520 you saw

00:32:59.860 Tucker

00:33:00.420 Carlson's

00:33:01.900 he did

00:33:03.720 what would

00:33:04.880 you call

00:33:05.200 it?

00:33:05.440 I guess

00:33:05.960 a monologue

00:33:06.520 on Kanye

00:33:07.860 West.

00:33:08.680 If you

00:33:09.280 didn't see

00:33:09.800 it,

00:33:10.380 it's some

00:33:10.800 of Tucker's

00:33:11.560 best work.

00:33:13.060 Like,

00:33:13.320 really,

00:33:13.840 really good

00:33:14.300 work.

00:33:14.880 I'm just

00:33:15.200 talking about

00:33:15.580 the writing.

00:33:16.860 You know,

00:33:17.060 the writing

00:33:17.780 of that

00:33:18.200 piece in

00:33:19.200 which he

00:33:19.520 went through

00:33:20.180 the Kanye

00:33:21.980 situation.

00:33:23.220 He talks

00:33:23.600 about how

00:33:24.180 until Kanye

00:33:24.980 said he

00:33:25.440 liked the

00:33:25.820 president,

00:33:26.740 he wasn't

00:33:27.180 crazy.

00:33:29.320 In other

00:33:29.660 words,

00:33:30.320 the media

00:33:30.880 treated him

00:33:31.620 as just

00:33:33.320 creative and

00:33:34.180 provocative.

00:33:35.920 Until he

00:33:36.740 seemed like

00:33:37.260 he was on

00:33:37.680 the other

00:33:38.000 side,

00:33:38.960 and then

00:33:39.300 the headlines

00:33:40.020 are that

00:33:40.400 he's crazy. 0.56

00:33:41.660 Now,

00:33:42.200 Kanye

00:33:42.460 himself

00:33:43.100 cops to

00:33:44.360 some

00:33:44.780 mental

00:33:45.920 challenges.

00:33:47.060 So,

00:33:47.560 I don't

00:33:47.840 think it's

00:33:48.360 inaccurate to

00:33:50.940 agree with

00:33:51.780 the person

00:33:52.160 who has

00:33:52.700 a self

00:33:53.120 assessment.

00:33:54.460 But,

00:33:55.620 it was

00:33:56.120 very

00:33:56.400 interesting

00:33:56.860 to see

00:33:57.320 that before

00:33:57.980 it didn't

00:33:58.440 matter,

00:33:59.620 and now

00:33:59.980 they're

00:34:00.700 throwing him

00:34:01.360 under the

00:34:01.660 bus.

00:34:03.120 So,

00:34:03.540 I would

00:34:03.760 say Kanye

00:34:04.280 has the

00:34:04.700 best emphasis

00:34:05.960 on schools,

00:34:07.020 so he

00:34:07.320 understands

00:34:07.940 priorities

00:34:08.960 best.

00:34:10.280 If you

00:34:10.780 wanted

00:34:11.040 somebody to

00:34:11.700 champion you,

00:34:13.240 you should

00:34:13.640 pick somebody

00:34:14.340 who has

00:34:14.800 their priorities

00:34:15.520 right.

00:34:16.600 And if

00:34:16.920 Kanye had

00:34:17.540 said,

00:34:18.400 Black Lives

00:34:18.940 Matter is

00:34:19.540 my primary

00:34:20.860 thing,

00:34:22.080 you should

00:34:22.440 dismiss him

00:34:23.260 as somebody

00:34:23.700 who doesn't

00:34:24.060 know what's

00:34:24.420 important.

00:34:25.540 But instead,

00:34:26.400 he talks about

00:34:27.020 education,

00:34:28.380 hits the

00:34:29.040 nail on the

00:34:29.680 head of

00:34:30.280 what's

00:34:30.520 important,

00:34:31.700 and bringing

00:34:32.420 some kind

00:34:32.860 of a

00:34:33.140 spiritual

00:34:33.600 revival to

00:34:35.240 the United

00:34:35.600 States,

00:34:36.080 you could

00:34:36.520 argue would

00:34:37.160 be a good

00:34:37.540 thing.

00:34:37.780 I know

00:34:40.240 that those

00:34:41.140 of you

00:34:41.420 who are

00:34:41.600 atheists 1.00

00:34:42.180 bristle

00:34:42.980 at this,

00:34:44.340 but so

00:34:45.000 long as

00:34:45.400 it's not

00:34:45.780 anti-atheist,

00:34:47.580 and it's

00:34:48.000 not,

00:34:48.700 it's not

00:34:49.100 even slightly

00:34:50.080 anti-atheist,

00:34:51.960 I think you

00:34:53.980 might be able

00:34:54.400 to coexist

00:34:54.920 with that.

00:34:57.540 The funniest

00:34:58.360 thing in the

00:34:58.980 news is that

00:34:59.720 a t-shirt

00:35:00.500 outfit called

00:35:02.240 T-Spring,

00:35:03.460 T-E-E

00:35:04.300 Spring,

00:35:04.700 banned

00:35:06.680 Antifa

00:35:07.340 shirts

00:35:07.960 while they

00:35:09.820 look into

00:35:10.360 it.

00:35:11.220 Now,

00:35:11.700 they're acting

00:35:12.420 as if they're

00:35:12.960 going to look

00:35:13.340 into it,

00:35:13.940 so maybe

00:35:14.720 it's not

00:35:15.120 permanent,

00:35:16.320 but Antifa

00:35:17.060 went all

00:35:20.620 crazy about

00:35:22.820 it because

00:35:23.820 they said,

00:35:24.360 hey, but

00:35:24.800 you have

00:35:25.300 t-shirts from

00:35:26.560 this or

00:35:27.120 that right

00:35:28.500 leaning group

00:35:29.300 or extremist

00:35:30.200 group or

00:35:30.880 what else,

00:35:31.900 hey, why

00:35:32.300 not our

00:35:32.740 shirts?

00:35:33.060 And here

00:35:34.760 would be my

00:35:35.340 answer to

00:35:35.820 that.

00:35:37.500 I think

00:35:38.220 Antifa is

00:35:39.020 the only

00:35:39.340 one they

00:35:39.700 mentioned

00:35:40.040 that's

00:35:40.480 literally

00:35:40.980 a domestic

00:35:42.200 terrorist

00:35:42.680 group.

00:35:43.940 I think

00:35:44.660 if you're

00:35:45.060 T-Spring,

00:35:45.680 you can get

00:35:46.160 rid of a

00:35:46.560 domestic

00:35:46.960 terrorist

00:35:47.440 group from

00:35:48.060 your shirts.

00:35:49.500 It doesn't

00:35:50.100 feel like a

00:35:50.640 reach to

00:35:51.040 me.

00:35:52.120 So, I

00:35:53.100 would like

00:35:53.420 to suggest

00:35:54.260 that if

00:35:55.000 they stick

00:35:55.560 with this

00:35:55.980 and they

00:35:56.320 don't bend

00:35:56.900 to the

00:35:57.440 pressure

00:35:57.760 that's

00:35:58.160 no doubt

00:35:58.600 coming to

00:35:59.080 their way,

00:36:00.220 that you

00:36:00.500 might consider

00:36:01.380 doing a

00:36:03.100 little shopping

00:36:03.700 at T-Spring,

00:36:05.140 send a

00:36:05.680 little money

00:36:06.080 their way.

00:36:07.040 I suggested

00:36:07.920 that if

00:36:08.360 they make

00:36:08.740 a shirt

00:36:09.160 called

00:36:09.660 We

00:36:10.360 Canceled

00:36:11.000 Antifa,

00:36:12.360 that it

00:36:12.700 might sell

00:36:13.100 a few

00:36:13.340 copies.

00:36:14.900 It might

00:36:15.200 sell a

00:36:15.560 few.

00:36:16.160 Now, I

00:36:16.500 would not

00:36:16.840 wear a

00:36:18.080 canceled

00:36:18.520 Antifa

00:36:19.120 shirt in

00:36:19.640 public,

00:36:20.340 because it

00:36:20.960 would be

00:36:21.060 like wearing

00:36:21.520 a MAGA

00:36:21.920 hat, you 0.70

00:36:23.160 get your

00:36:23.460 ass beat, 0.85

00:36:24.580 but I

00:36:25.160 might buy

00:36:25.540 one.

00:36:26.760 I might

00:36:27.380 buy it

00:36:27.760 and put it

00:36:28.100 in the

00:36:28.300 closet just

00:36:29.640 to support

00:36:30.240 Teespring if

00:36:31.020 they stick

00:36:31.440 with us.

00:36:31.940 If they

00:36:32.240 don't stick

00:36:32.660 with it,

00:36:33.040 well, who

00:36:33.420 cares?

00:36:36.960 As I

00:36:37.520 tweeted this

00:36:38.040 morning, I

00:36:38.660 have developed

00:36:39.420 this habit that

00:36:40.460 I'm not sure

00:36:41.260 I'm proud of.

00:36:42.680 Every morning,

00:36:43.480 the first thing

00:36:44.040 I do is I

00:36:44.640 get my coffee,

00:36:45.360 I sit down

00:36:45.800 at my computer,

00:36:46.900 and literally

00:36:47.400 the first thing

00:36:48.060 I do after

00:36:48.780 that is I

00:36:50.140 look at the

00:36:50.540 news, usually

00:36:51.340 Twitter, and

00:36:52.480 it's filled

00:36:53.180 with the video

00:36:54.080 from the night

00:36:54.720 before, the

00:36:55.340 highlight clips

00:36:56.080 from the big

00:36:56.860 game in

00:36:57.300 Portland.

00:36:58.240 Now, I

00:36:58.680 call it the

00:36:59.080 big game

00:36:59.620 because I

00:37:00.800 don't think

00:37:01.260 it looks

00:37:01.560 like politics

00:37:02.180 anymore.

00:37:03.540 I don't

00:37:03.920 think it

00:37:04.260 looks like

00:37:04.680 a social

00:37:05.340 movement, even

00:37:06.220 in the

00:37:06.600 least.

00:37:08.000 Whatever

00:37:08.560 Antifa is,

00:37:10.540 it's closer

00:37:11.260 to some

00:37:11.760 kind of a

00:37:12.500 role-playing

00:37:13.820 costumed

00:37:14.760 sport.

00:37:16.140 And it

00:37:16.320 went to a

00:37:16.760 new level

00:37:17.200 last night,

00:37:19.040 maybe recently,

00:37:20.600 where apparently

00:37:21.360 Antifa has

00:37:22.160 developed their

00:37:22.800 own shield,

00:37:24.220 like a

00:37:24.860 plywood

00:37:25.360 shield, like

00:37:27.180 old-timey

00:37:28.320 costume role

00:37:30.240 players would

00:37:30.820 have if they

00:37:31.340 were playing

00:37:31.780 knights of

00:37:33.380 old.

00:37:34.680 And they've

00:37:35.300 got the

00:37:35.660 Antifa on

00:37:36.560 there, and

00:37:37.420 they've got

00:37:37.980 their little

00:37:38.360 crew of

00:37:39.100 shield people

00:37:39.780 with their

00:37:40.200 plywood pushing

00:37:41.000 against police.

00:37:43.600 And I

00:37:44.980 turn it on,

00:37:46.260 and this is

00:37:46.880 not even

00:37:47.340 slightly an

00:37:49.900 exaggeration.

00:37:51.140 When I

00:37:51.520 watch the

00:37:52.100 clips, usually

00:37:52.920 Andy No

00:37:54.480 clip, for

00:37:55.420 example, when

00:37:57.900 I look at

00:37:59.200 the clips, I

00:38:01.080 look at them

00:38:01.700 like I'm

00:38:02.140 watching sport

00:38:03.060 highlight clips.

00:38:04.540 And I'm

00:38:04.980 watching the

00:38:05.500 police beat

00:38:06.400 up Antifa, and

00:38:08.020 it looks exactly

00:38:08.860 like watching a

00:38:10.100 football game

00:38:10.920 with tackles,

00:38:12.740 and you see the

00:38:13.580 highlight reel,

00:38:14.300 it's like,

00:38:14.560 look at this

00:38:14.960 spectacular tackle.

00:38:16.440 And I'm

00:38:16.900 watching the

00:38:17.360 same sport,

00:38:18.520 except it's

00:38:19.160 police, also

00:38:20.440 wearing protective

00:38:21.340 gear, just

00:38:22.240 like football,

00:38:23.280 also trying to

00:38:24.420 control territory

00:38:25.520 and space, just

00:38:27.740 like football.

00:38:28.840 You've got

00:38:29.500 fouls, just

00:38:31.220 like football.

00:38:32.420 You've got

00:38:33.140 announcers, you

00:38:34.120 know, with

00:38:34.440 loudspeakers, just

00:38:36.560 like football.

00:38:37.260 You've got

00:38:37.500 play-by-play, you

00:38:38.340 got highlight

00:38:38.780 clips, it's a

00:38:41.000 sport.

00:38:42.120 Now, if you

00:38:43.060 tell me that's

00:38:43.740 not a sport,

00:38:45.340 watching the

00:38:46.040 two teams with

00:38:46.880 strategy and

00:38:48.080 costumes and

00:38:49.560 meeting at the

00:38:50.860 same field

00:38:51.440 every night,

00:38:52.300 if you tell

00:38:52.980 me that's not

00:38:53.620 a sport, you're

00:38:55.140 going to have

00:38:55.360 to define sport

00:38:56.400 a little bit

00:38:57.420 more clearly,

00:38:58.420 because it's

00:38:59.000 not politics.

00:39:00.840 There's no

00:39:01.260 politics in

00:39:02.000 that.

00:39:02.880 It's not

00:39:03.580 crime exactly,

00:39:05.500 because if it

00:39:06.660 were, they would

00:39:07.200 all be arrested

00:39:07.920 instead of just

00:39:08.880 the bad apples

00:39:11.000 that are doing

00:39:11.600 something specifically.

00:39:13.080 So if it's not

00:39:13.900 exactly crime,

00:39:15.640 it's certainly

00:39:16.200 nothing like a

00:39:17.300 social protest,

00:39:18.920 you know, in

00:39:19.340 any way that we

00:39:20.040 can understand

00:39:20.560 it, it's a

00:39:22.000 sport, and I'm

00:39:24.100 not going to see

00:39:24.700 it any other

00:39:25.240 way.

00:39:26.160 Now, of course,

00:39:27.740 those of you who

00:39:29.100 are jerks just

00:39:30.860 said to yourself,

00:39:32.140 Scott, how can

00:39:33.660 you treat this as

00:39:34.460 a sport?

00:39:34.920 People are getting

00:39:35.480 killed, and the

00:39:36.840 police are being

00:39:37.420 injured.

00:39:38.340 Why do you call

00:39:38.960 this a sport?

00:39:40.200 Scott, how can

00:39:41.420 you not take this

00:39:42.380 seriously?

00:39:43.340 Well, you're just

00:39:43.980 a jerk, because I

00:39:45.580 am complicated

00:39:46.460 enough that I can

00:39:47.560 hold in my mind

00:39:48.520 that it is a

00:39:50.380 super tragedy, and

00:39:52.420 it really makes

00:39:53.320 me mad when the

00:39:55.220 police are injured

00:39:55.920 in particular,

00:39:56.940 especially with

00:39:57.560 these lasers.

00:39:58.620 I think the

00:39:59.600 police should be

00:40:00.140 able to shoot to

00:40:01.020 kill anybody who

00:40:02.460 has a laser, even

00:40:03.620 if they're just

00:40:04.120 brandishing it.

00:40:05.560 Even if you don't

00:40:06.380 see it being used,

00:40:07.880 I think the police

00:40:08.620 should be able to

00:40:09.200 shoot to kill.

00:40:10.740 Now, you might

00:40:14.420 disagree, and it

00:40:16.060 might be a

00:40:16.600 terrible strategy

00:40:17.460 because it would

00:40:18.140 make the police

00:40:18.760 look like a

00:40:19.500 police state.

00:40:21.080 It would not be

00:40:22.120 good for the

00:40:23.200 country, but it

00:40:24.660 would be good for

00:40:25.420 the police.

00:40:26.800 And I'm going to

00:40:27.580 say that sometimes,

00:40:30.460 sometimes the

00:40:31.520 citizens need to

00:40:32.480 support the police.

00:40:33.600 It's not just

00:40:34.460 always the other

00:40:35.060 way around, right?

00:40:36.700 You know, you

00:40:37.400 can't be sending

00:40:38.620 your troops out

00:40:39.560 there in the

00:40:40.060 form of the

00:40:40.660 police.

00:40:41.560 You can't be

00:40:42.300 sending your

00:40:42.780 troops out there

00:40:43.440 unsupported.

00:40:44.760 And if you

00:40:45.540 can't let them

00:40:46.280 shoot a protester

00:40:48.020 who's got a laser

00:40:49.680 in their hand, just

00:40:50.620 as if it were a

00:40:51.320 handgun, if they

00:40:52.900 can't shoot that

00:40:53.660 guy, they ought to

00:40:55.820 have the right.

00:40:56.940 So the best I can

00:40:58.060 do is to say, if

00:40:59.160 you put me on a

00:41:00.160 jury, I will say,

00:41:04.160 shot a guy with a

00:41:05.400 deadly weapon.

00:41:06.040 I don't need to

00:41:06.740 hear any more

00:41:07.400 evidence.

00:41:08.580 If you'd like to

00:41:09.560 present the

00:41:10.000 evidence, sure, if

00:41:11.680 you need to, but

00:41:12.640 I'm not going to

00:41:13.140 listen to it.

00:41:14.420 Because if police

00:41:15.640 shoot somebody with

00:41:17.020 one of those

00:41:18.000 lasers at a 0.75

00:41:19.040 protest, it has

00:41:20.080 to be at a

00:41:20.480 protest, I'm not

00:41:22.660 even going to

00:41:23.060 listen to the

00:41:23.540 evidence at all.

00:41:25.900 Innocent.

00:41:26.540 Boom.

00:41:27.860 I'll go right to

00:41:28.560 the verdict.

00:41:29.140 In fact, I'll

00:41:29.620 stand up in the

00:41:30.280 jury box and say,

00:41:31.760 not guilty.

00:41:33.240 And then they'll

00:41:33.720 say, sir, the

00:41:35.460 trial hasn't

00:41:36.300 started yet.

00:41:37.260 And I'll say,

00:41:37.760 just trying to

00:41:38.260 save time.

00:41:38.800 Anybody here

00:41:40.620 doesn't want to

00:41:41.120 save some time?

00:41:42.020 Because there's

00:41:42.520 no freaking way

00:41:43.700 I'm going to

00:41:44.720 vote against a

00:41:45.920 cop who takes

00:41:47.140 out one of

00:41:48.680 these kids with

00:41:49.800 a laser.

00:41:51.360 Blow it, take

00:41:51.940 his head right

00:41:52.420 off.

00:41:52.800 It's fine with

00:41:53.340 me.

00:41:54.200 Now, it would

00:41:54.720 be bad for your

00:41:55.400 career, bad for

00:41:56.140 your life, might

00:41:57.260 even be bad for

00:41:58.160 the country, but

00:41:59.680 I'd still back

00:42:00.420 you.

00:42:01.280 Still back you,

00:42:02.280 if it happens.

00:42:02.960 All right.

00:42:09.340 And I've

00:42:10.360 often said that

00:42:11.200 one of the big

00:42:12.220 complaints from

00:42:13.320 protesters, which

00:42:14.300 I think has

00:42:14.880 merit, is that

00:42:16.340 the police might

00:42:17.200 treat different

00:42:18.200 ethnicities

00:42:19.020 differently.

00:42:19.960 Now, apparently

00:42:20.380 the death rate

00:42:21.320 is not treated

00:42:22.960 differently.

00:42:23.740 The number of

00:42:24.360 people killed

00:42:25.040 doesn't seem to

00:42:26.180 matter based on

00:42:27.640 your race, but

00:42:28.620 probably there's

00:42:29.840 maybe a little

00:42:31.000 extra abuse.

00:42:32.420 Not maybe,

00:42:32.960 there's certainly

00:42:33.640 extra abuse in

00:42:35.140 black communities.

00:42:36.860 Obviously, it's

00:42:37.560 because they're

00:42:38.020 high-crime

00:42:38.480 neighborhoods.

00:42:39.180 That's a big

00:42:39.600 part of the

00:42:40.000 story.

00:42:40.720 But let's say

00:42:41.380 you just thought

00:42:42.080 that was a

00:42:42.440 problem and

00:42:42.880 you want to

00:42:43.300 reduce the

00:42:43.860 gap.

00:42:45.080 Well, one

00:42:45.560 way would be

00:42:46.520 to have less

00:42:47.760 abuse against

00:42:48.760 black citizens.

00:42:49.640 That would be

00:42:50.180 ideal.

00:42:52.200 As long as

00:42:53.100 everything else

00:42:54.020 works out.

00:42:54.760 That's, of

00:42:55.420 course, what

00:42:55.820 you want.

00:42:57.080 But the

00:42:57.620 other way to

00:42:58.020 reduce the

00:42:58.480 gap would be

00:42:59.200 for the police

00:43:00.120 in Portland to

00:43:01.320 just beat the

00:43:02.080 shit out of

00:43:02.720 these protesters

00:43:03.920 with the

00:43:04.460 lasers like

00:43:05.160 once a day

00:43:05.780 just to get

00:43:06.960 the numbers

00:43:07.400 up.

00:43:08.240 Because the

00:43:09.040 higher we get

00:43:09.780 with the

00:43:10.160 police beating

00:43:10.780 up white

00:43:12.100 Antifa

00:43:12.860 protesters with

00:43:14.580 the lasers,

00:43:15.280 they have to

00:43:15.980 be doing

00:43:16.260 something bad.

00:43:17.580 The more of

00:43:18.120 those we get,

00:43:18.780 the closer the

00:43:19.420 gap will be.

00:43:20.440 So there may

00:43:21.540 be two

00:43:22.480 problems.

00:43:23.120 One is too

00:43:24.060 many black

00:43:24.620 people getting

00:43:25.180 beaten up by

00:43:25.820 the police,

00:43:26.680 say the

00:43:27.120 protesters.

00:43:27.900 I don't know

00:43:28.460 one way or the

00:43:29.060 other.

00:43:29.240 But the

00:43:30.480 other is not

00:43:31.400 enough white

00:43:31.900 people getting

00:43:32.380 beaten up.

00:43:33.120 So we could

00:43:33.580 close the gap

00:43:34.260 from both

00:43:34.760 sides if we

00:43:35.520 work at it.

00:43:36.520 So let's get

00:43:36.960 some more white

00:43:37.480 people getting

00:43:37.960 beaten up by

00:43:38.540 the police.

00:43:39.720 If they're

00:43:40.360 Antifa people

00:43:41.200 with lasers,

00:43:41.840 that would be

00:43:42.120 fine for me.

00:43:43.480 All right.

00:43:44.640 I asked on

00:43:45.780 Twitter a

00:43:47.780 little unscientific

00:43:48.980 poll.

00:43:49.580 I said,

00:43:50.380 would you hire

00:43:51.000 a job candidate

00:43:51.880 whose social

00:43:52.780 media supported

00:43:53.980 Antifa?

00:43:54.920 94% of you

00:43:56.980 said no.

00:43:58.300 That you

00:43:58.640 would not

00:43:59.060 consider a

00:43:59.840 job candidate

00:44:00.540 who had

00:44:01.760 pro-Antifa

00:44:02.920 stuff on

00:44:03.980 their website.

00:44:05.200 Now, if I

00:44:05.620 were to ask

00:44:05.980 the same

00:44:06.360 question of

00:44:07.860 people on

00:44:08.740 the left,

00:44:09.780 because most

00:44:10.380 of my followers

00:44:11.280 would be

00:44:11.800 Trump supporters,

00:44:12.880 I would imagine,

00:44:14.460 but if you

00:44:15.280 asked the same

00:44:15.720 question on the

00:44:16.240 left, would

00:44:16.780 you hire a

00:44:17.600 Trump supporter,

00:44:19.100 you'd probably

00:44:19.580 get the same

00:44:20.100 answer.

00:44:21.420 You'd get a

00:44:22.500 pretty good

00:44:22.860 answer.

00:44:23.640 So we've

00:44:24.340 come to

00:44:24.680 the point

00:44:25.040 where your

00:44:25.880 politics plus

00:44:26.780 your social

00:44:27.300 media make

00:44:28.500 you unhireable

00:44:29.580 by half of

00:44:30.280 the public.

00:44:31.160 But here's

00:44:31.720 what I was

00:44:32.200 thinking.

00:44:33.580 All it

00:44:34.300 would take

00:44:34.840 is one

00:44:35.660 major company

00:44:36.580 with some

00:44:37.920 serious

00:44:38.460 gonads to

00:44:40.300 announce in

00:44:40.900 public,

00:44:41.800 just sort of

00:44:42.640 preemptively,

00:44:43.480 I'm just

00:44:43.960 brainstorming

00:44:45.360 here, but

00:44:46.260 preemptively

00:44:46.920 announce in

00:44:48.100 public that

00:44:48.660 they would

00:44:49.020 not consider

00:44:49.780 hiring anybody

00:44:51.000 who was

00:44:51.380 associated with

00:44:52.200 Antifa.

00:44:53.420 Can you

00:44:53.740 imagine a

00:44:55.300 Fortune 500

00:44:56.180 company where

00:44:58.140 their leadership

00:44:59.120 has enough

00:44:59.720 balls to

00:45:01.040 say the

00:45:01.440 obvious,

00:45:02.680 which is,

00:45:03.680 we just have

00:45:04.420 to tell you,

00:45:05.200 it's hard

00:45:05.780 enough getting

00:45:06.300 employees,

00:45:07.480 and if you're

00:45:08.080 supporting Antifa,

00:45:09.640 you can't be

00:45:10.420 on our list,

00:45:11.820 because we just

00:45:12.680 can't support

00:45:13.340 that.

00:45:14.480 What would

00:45:15.100 that do?

00:45:16.160 Just one.

00:45:16.940 Just one

00:45:17.600 Fortune 500

00:45:18.520 company,

00:45:19.200 make an

00:45:19.660 announcement,

00:45:20.820 we're just

00:45:21.280 putting it out

00:45:21.800 there, if

00:45:23.020 you support

00:45:23.520 Antifa, we're

00:45:25.020 never going to

00:45:25.520 hire you.

00:45:26.380 It's absolutely

00:45:28.460 off the table.

00:45:30.540 Now, the first

00:45:31.320 thing that would

00:45:31.700 happen is it

00:45:32.240 would make it

00:45:32.640 safe for other

00:45:33.240 companies, but

00:45:33.900 the other thing

00:45:35.320 that's even

00:45:35.760 bigger is that

00:45:37.100 the parents of

00:45:38.220 Antifa, which

00:45:39.960 you know are

00:45:40.620 supporting them,

00:45:41.820 right?

00:45:43.180 You know the

00:45:43.840 parents are sort

00:45:44.740 of on board a

00:45:45.660 little bit, even

00:45:46.960 if it's only by

00:45:47.700 lack of action,

00:45:48.960 it's going to

00:45:49.520 activate the

00:45:50.220 parents, because

00:45:51.340 the parents are

00:45:51.880 going to say,

00:45:52.940 did I just

00:45:54.440 find out that

00:45:55.060 my child can

00:45:55.840 never be

00:45:56.380 gainfully employed

00:45:57.280 by a big

00:45:58.200 company, where

00:45:59.440 the pay is good

00:46:00.520 and the benefits

00:46:01.100 are good, and

00:46:01.740 therefore he

00:46:02.760 will never

00:46:03.160 leave my

00:46:04.020 basement?

00:46:05.240 I think it

00:46:06.100 could move

00:46:06.520 the needle.

00:46:07.760 It would just

00:46:08.120 take one big

00:46:09.540 company to make

00:46:11.060 that statement,

00:46:11.960 and suddenly

00:46:12.500 parents everywhere

00:46:13.480 would say,

00:46:14.640 hello,

00:46:16.160 Jennifer,

00:46:18.580 we'd really

00:46:19.280 like you to

00:46:19.820 have a job

00:46:20.500 someday, so

00:46:21.940 maybe you

00:46:22.920 should rethink

00:46:23.540 this whole

00:46:24.020 thing.

00:46:25.040 Could make a

00:46:25.560 difference.

00:46:26.880 All right,

00:46:28.080 here is the

00:46:30.900 update on the

00:46:31.840 member Peter

00:46:33.000 Navarro name

00:46:33.940 checked me on

00:46:34.780 CNN and told

00:46:36.000 CNN they should

00:46:36.720 watch my video

00:46:37.580 on the risk

00:46:39.140 management part

00:46:40.180 of the decision

00:46:41.220 about hydroxychloroquine.

00:46:43.220 Obviously, I

00:46:44.140 don't make medical

00:46:45.320 recommendations.

00:46:46.700 But I can

00:46:47.140 break down the

00:46:47.720 argument based

00:46:48.600 on what the

00:46:49.100 experts are

00:46:49.780 telling we

00:46:51.100 naive citizens,

00:46:52.600 and based on

00:46:53.080 the information

00:46:53.600 we have, which

00:46:54.840 is less than

00:46:56.000 what the experts

00:46:56.600 have, what do

00:46:57.720 you do?

00:46:58.600 So that's what

00:46:59.400 I did, the

00:47:00.240 decision-making

00:47:00.940 part, not the

00:47:02.340 medical part.

00:47:03.380 I just listened

00:47:04.480 to the medical

00:47:05.000 part.

00:47:06.640 And so

00:47:08.540 Navarro points

00:47:09.320 to that.

00:47:10.240 CNN mocks

00:47:11.140 me.

00:47:12.420 The Daily

00:47:12.900 Beast mocks

00:47:13.820 me.

00:47:14.200 The Hill

00:47:14.520 mocks me.

00:47:15.220 But nobody

00:47:16.900 that I've

00:47:17.880 seen, and

00:47:18.860 you can tell

00:47:19.740 me if there's

00:47:20.380 any difference

00:47:22.120 there, nobody

00:47:23.960 that I've seen

00:47:24.800 has criticized

00:47:26.500 the video and

00:47:27.940 what I said

00:47:28.780 in it.

00:47:30.080 Nobody.

00:47:31.600 As far as I

00:47:32.300 can tell,

00:47:32.660 nobody.

00:47:33.380 Do you know

00:47:33.820 how infrequent

00:47:35.160 it is for me

00:47:36.560 to put out

00:47:37.040 something that

00:47:37.920 visible and

00:47:38.700 have nobody

00:47:39.340 criticize it?

00:47:40.140 no matter

00:47:40.880 what it is.

00:47:41.440 It could be

00:47:41.720 a comic,

00:47:42.420 it could be

00:47:42.700 a book,

00:47:43.280 anything.

00:47:44.420 You always

00:47:44.960 get low

00:47:45.480 reviews on

00:47:46.240 something.

00:47:47.200 There's always

00:47:47.880 somebody who's

00:47:49.540 going to say

00:47:50.000 this is no

00:47:50.640 good, right?

00:47:52.340 But not

00:47:52.860 this.

00:47:54.020 And I don't

00:47:54.380 know if it's

00:47:55.100 because nobody

00:47:58.040 looked at it

00:48:01.000 because it

00:48:01.460 wasn't linked

00:48:02.200 in some of

00:48:02.660 the articles,

00:48:03.280 or if

00:48:04.480 everybody agrees,

00:48:05.780 or maybe I

00:48:06.520 just didn't see

00:48:07.220 any criticism.

00:48:07.940 it's possible

00:48:08.720 to.

00:48:09.760 So another

00:48:10.600 day goes by

00:48:11.340 where that

00:48:11.720 just sits

00:48:12.200 there as

00:48:12.960 the truth,

00:48:14.400 and the

00:48:15.520 truth is the

00:48:16.260 least important

00:48:16.880 thing in the

00:48:17.400 world, so

00:48:17.940 nobody cares.

00:48:20.300 Let me

00:48:20.960 correct for

00:48:21.800 many of you

00:48:22.520 a big

00:48:23.320 misconception

00:48:23.920 that you

00:48:25.320 have, and

00:48:26.100 I'm watching

00:48:26.760 some people

00:48:28.000 on Twitter

00:48:29.760 who are

00:48:30.140 making this

00:48:30.720 analytic

00:48:31.480 mistake.

00:48:32.500 It's based

00:48:33.000 on a lack

00:48:33.760 of knowledge

00:48:34.420 about something

00:48:35.520 in particular,

00:48:36.440 so I'm

00:48:36.920 going to fill

00:48:37.280 in a

00:48:37.840 knowledge

00:48:38.220 gap for

00:48:39.660 many of

00:48:40.100 you.

00:48:40.680 So many

00:48:41.080 people would

00:48:41.840 say, do

00:48:43.360 not take

00:48:43.900 a medicine

00:48:44.400 unless it

00:48:45.620 has gone

00:48:46.380 through the

00:48:46.840 gold-standard

00:48:47.820 type of

00:48:49.420 double-blind

00:48:51.060 placebo test.

00:48:53.120 In fact, I

00:48:54.180 had a

00:48:54.460 conversation

00:48:54.960 with my

00:48:56.180 most Trump-

00:48:57.660 hating

00:48:58.060 Democrat

00:48:59.200 friend last

00:49:00.680 night by

00:49:01.120 text, in

00:49:02.400 which he

00:49:03.920 said, with

00:49:05.860 no uncertain

00:49:06.480 terms, no

00:49:08.120 doctor ever

00:49:09.700 should recommend

00:49:11.400 a medicine

00:49:13.460 that has

00:49:14.580 not gone

00:49:15.080 through the

00:49:15.660 highest

00:49:16.120 standard of

00:49:17.140 tests.

00:49:18.460 Now, my

00:49:19.120 friend is

00:49:19.780 really well

00:49:20.420 read, highly

00:49:22.440 educated, more

00:49:23.300 educated than

00:49:23.980 I, and

00:49:26.060 very, very

00:49:28.280 deeply involved

00:49:29.660 in reading the

00:49:30.340 news and

00:49:30.860 following the

00:49:31.400 news.

00:49:31.640 So this is

00:49:32.300 a really

00:49:32.960 smart, really

00:49:34.800 well-informed

00:49:35.600 person who

00:49:37.160 used his

00:49:37.780 smartness and

00:49:38.580 well-informed

00:49:39.280 status to

00:49:40.160 tell me that

00:49:41.340 it's crazy for

00:49:42.600 a Trump, a

00:49:44.040 Peter Navarro,

00:49:45.040 or even a

00:49:46.140 doctor to

00:49:47.300 recommend using,

00:49:48.340 can you believe

00:49:48.860 it, the

00:49:49.240 horror, a

00:49:50.180 drug that

00:49:51.240 has not

00:49:51.880 gone through

00:49:52.800 the clinical

00:49:53.680 testing for

00:49:55.900 the purpose

00:49:56.500 it was

00:49:57.180 prescribed, to

00:50:00.600 which I

00:50:01.000 said, have

00:50:03.360 you heard of

00:50:03.780 off-label

00:50:04.500 prescriptions?

00:50:07.460 He said he

00:50:08.460 hadn't in a

00:50:09.840 prior conversation.

00:50:11.560 He said he

00:50:11.880 hadn't.

00:50:12.820 He'd never

00:50:13.180 heard of it.

00:50:15.000 And then

00:50:15.860 last night I

00:50:16.540 said, do you

00:50:18.240 know that 20%

00:50:19.580 of all

00:50:20.140 prescriptions are

00:50:21.140 off-label,

00:50:22.700 which means

00:50:23.460 that 20% of

00:50:25.820 all the

00:50:26.220 prescriptions

00:50:26.840 one in

00:50:27.500 five in

00:50:28.620 this country

00:50:29.280 have not

00:50:30.520 gone through

00:50:31.020 that standard

00:50:31.820 that my

00:50:33.420 friend and

00:50:34.080 a lot of

00:50:34.420 people on

00:50:34.880 Twitter say

00:50:35.560 is the only

00:50:36.740 way you

00:50:37.220 should ever

00:50:37.780 prescribe

00:50:39.220 something.

00:50:40.020 Because their

00:50:40.820 blind spot is

00:50:41.940 that if a

00:50:43.120 drug has been

00:50:43.900 proven safe

00:50:45.020 for anything

00:50:46.220 and the

00:50:47.940 cost is

00:50:48.560 reasonable,

00:50:49.740 that your

00:50:50.180 doctor,

00:50:50.940 working with

00:50:51.580 you, can

00:50:52.020 make a risk

00:50:52.640 management

00:50:53.120 decision that

00:50:53.920 goes like

00:50:54.360 this.

00:50:55.340 I've got

00:50:55.780 this drug,

00:50:56.840 that it was

00:50:58.000 only gold

00:50:58.700 standard tested

00:50:59.600 for another

00:51:00.160 thing.

00:51:01.000 But we

00:51:01.700 did find out

00:51:02.440 the side

00:51:02.960 effects are

00:51:03.540 nothing to

00:51:04.380 worry about.

00:51:05.580 So given

00:51:06.040 that the

00:51:06.420 side effects

00:51:06.900 are trivially

00:51:08.500 dangerous,

00:51:09.760 barely enough

00:51:10.640 that it's not

00:51:11.200 even worth

00:51:11.560 mentioning,

00:51:13.220 and it might

00:51:13.760 work, and

00:51:14.860 there's some

00:51:15.240 reports that it

00:51:15.980 works, but

00:51:16.560 they're not the

00:51:17.000 gold standard,

00:51:18.120 let's give it

00:51:18.640 a try.

00:51:19.600 And how

00:51:19.920 often does

00:51:20.360 that happen?

00:51:20.880 Well, it

00:51:21.120 turns out that

00:51:21.680 some of your

00:51:22.260 most popular

00:51:23.200 drugs that

00:51:24.620 are commonly

00:51:25.360 prescribed did

00:51:27.360 not go through

00:51:27.940 any gold

00:51:28.380 standard testing

00:51:29.620 except for

00:51:30.580 other purposes.

00:51:32.460 So hydroxychloroquine

00:51:33.840 has been tested

00:51:35.160 in the past

00:51:35.960 for its own

00:51:37.360 use, you

00:51:38.480 know, lupus,

00:51:39.180 etc.

00:51:39.540 I assume, I

00:51:40.160 think that's

00:51:40.500 true.

00:51:41.400 And if

00:51:43.640 anybody claiming

00:51:44.520 that it should

00:51:45.160 not be

00:51:45.700 prescribed because

00:51:47.120 it has not

00:51:47.880 passed the

00:51:49.280 gold standard

00:51:49.980 test, which

00:51:50.680 is true, it

00:51:51.400 has not, but

00:51:52.840 it's also

00:51:53.240 because they

00:51:53.720 haven't tested

00:51:54.300 it in the

00:51:55.400 right application.

00:51:57.100 So if you

00:51:59.320 see anybody

00:51:59.940 saying that it

00:52:00.660 hasn't gone

00:52:01.100 through the

00:52:01.500 rigorous trials,

00:52:02.620 they are

00:52:03.540 ignorant of

00:52:05.300 how medicine

00:52:05.880 works, and

00:52:07.440 you can fill

00:52:07.960 them in with

00:52:09.060 that 20%

00:52:10.420 over-the-counter

00:52:11.160 prescriptions that

00:52:12.660 did not go

00:52:13.340 through that

00:52:13.760 process, and

00:52:14.960 it is so

00:52:15.520 safe, so

00:52:16.820 routine, so

00:52:18.280 rational, that

00:52:19.680 20% of

00:52:20.620 prescriptions are

00:52:21.440 in that

00:52:21.740 category.

00:52:23.000 If you, I

00:52:23.920 mean, ask

00:52:24.620 yourself, if

00:52:25.780 this were a

00:52:26.580 problem, would

00:52:28.300 20% of

00:52:29.140 prescriptions be

00:52:30.020 in this

00:52:30.320 category?

00:52:31.400 No.

00:52:32.420 No.

00:52:34.260 All right.

00:52:37.040 How about

00:52:37.800 this?

00:52:40.800 So, do

00:52:42.360 you have this

00:52:43.060 problem where

00:52:43.740 you want to

00:52:44.660 make a joke

00:52:45.220 about bad

00:52:45.880 things that

00:52:46.320 are happening,

00:52:47.180 but you

00:52:47.520 don't know

00:52:47.800 where the

00:52:48.100 line is,

00:52:48.700 because you

00:52:48.920 don't want

00:52:49.160 to be

00:52:49.360 canceled,

00:52:49.680 because you

00:52:50.020 don't want

00:52:50.280 to be that

00:52:50.640 person, but

00:52:51.160 sometimes it's

00:52:51.720 so funny you

00:52:52.280 can't help

00:52:52.620 it?

00:52:54.260 Well, when

00:52:54.980 I heard

00:52:55.260 about, as

00:52:56.980 you know,

00:52:57.960 the Libertarian

00:52:59.100 Party candidate

00:53:00.480 being bitten by

00:53:01.880 a possibly

00:53:02.900 rabid bat,

00:53:04.960 I looked at

00:53:06.240 the comments,

00:53:07.700 and I saw

00:53:08.080 that Matt

00:53:08.560 Schwartz asked,

00:53:10.260 how's the

00:53:10.740 bat?

00:53:12.260 Now, I

00:53:13.240 didn't feel

00:53:13.620 proud that I

00:53:15.380 laughed at

00:53:15.880 that.

00:53:16.220 how's the

00:53:17.920 bat?

00:53:18.780 And I

00:53:19.380 felt even

00:53:19.860 less proud

00:53:20.700 when I

00:53:21.280 responded to

00:53:22.100 it.

00:53:23.140 With the

00:53:24.660 answer to

00:53:25.140 how's the

00:53:25.560 bat, I

00:53:26.060 said, ahead

00:53:26.860 in the

00:53:27.180 polling.

00:53:28.560 I don't

00:53:29.180 feel good

00:53:29.620 about it,

00:53:30.780 but if you

00:53:31.600 laughed at

00:53:32.120 it, well,

00:53:33.360 maybe that's

00:53:34.240 something.

00:53:37.160 Big news,

00:53:38.100 of course,

00:53:39.300 is, we've

00:53:40.280 got some

00:53:40.520 big fake

00:53:40.960 news about

00:53:41.760 Russia,

00:53:43.100 China, and

00:53:43.780 Iran.

00:53:45.060 And the

00:53:45.740 thought is

00:53:46.280 that they're

00:53:46.640 all trying to

00:53:47.440 influence the

00:53:48.260 election, but

00:53:50.620 the problematic

00:53:51.280 one seems to

00:53:52.420 be Russia,

00:53:54.280 because,

00:53:55.060 according to

00:53:55.500 the fake

00:53:55.860 news, the

00:53:56.500 Russians are

00:53:57.200 trying to

00:53:57.720 support

00:53:58.140 President

00:53:58.720 Trump.

00:53:59.560 President

00:53:59.980 Trump's

00:54:00.380 response to

00:54:01.060 that is,

00:54:02.300 he's been

00:54:02.940 the toughest

00:54:03.400 on Russia,

00:54:04.800 and he gives

00:54:05.240 a number of

00:54:05.720 examples.

00:54:07.040 That's not

00:54:07.840 really the

00:54:08.760 answer to

00:54:09.840 whether Russia

00:54:10.900 is trying

00:54:11.380 to help

00:54:11.760 you.

00:54:12.520 Because it

00:54:13.020 could be

00:54:13.460 true that

00:54:14.100 the president

00:54:14.580 is their

00:54:15.120 toughest sanctions,

00:54:18.420 toughest opponent,

00:54:19.420 toughest president

00:54:20.120 on them.

00:54:20.900 That could be

00:54:21.520 true, and

00:54:22.440 there's a

00:54:23.100 really good

00:54:23.600 argument for

00:54:24.200 it.

00:54:24.940 It could be

00:54:25.540 true at the

00:54:26.020 same time

00:54:26.720 they prefer

00:54:28.360 him.

00:54:29.120 Because,

00:54:29.700 remember,

00:54:30.020 Russia has 0.96

00:54:30.460 two bad

00:54:31.000 choices.

00:54:32.300 They either

00:54:32.980 keep the

00:54:33.660 devil they

00:54:35.820 know,

00:54:37.040 which is

00:54:37.520 Trump,

00:54:38.160 at least they

00:54:38.700 can talk to

00:54:39.260 him,

00:54:39.940 at least they

00:54:40.520 can deal

00:54:40.940 with him,

00:54:41.740 even though

00:54:42.280 he's being

00:54:43.180 a pain in

00:54:43.680 the ass 0.95

00:54:44.040 to Putin,

00:54:45.440 at least

00:54:45.820 they can

00:54:46.100 deal with

00:54:46.520 him,

00:54:46.740 he's

00:54:46.940 predictable,

00:54:47.980 you know

00:54:48.280 where he

00:54:48.580 stands,

00:54:49.360 you know

00:54:49.860 he'll make

00:54:50.240 a deal,

00:54:51.980 compared to

00:54:52.560 Biden,

00:54:53.360 because Biden

00:54:53.880 would just

00:54:54.320 go after

00:54:54.860 him,

00:54:55.340 because

00:54:55.500 apparently

00:54:55.900 that's

00:54:56.420 their technique,

00:54:58.100 in favor

00:54:58.480 of China.

00:54:59.880 Biden

00:55:00.320 would be

00:55:00.740 pro-China,

00:55:02.120 no doubt

00:55:02.820 Russia's 0.70

00:55:03.320 biggest risk,

00:55:05.040 and so

00:55:06.920 it could be

00:55:07.400 true that

00:55:08.460 Russia wants 0.94

00:55:09.320 Trump,

00:55:10.280 at the

00:55:11.020 same time

00:55:11.440 it's true

00:55:11.920 that Trump

00:55:13.000 doesn't want

00:55:13.760 that,

00:55:14.460 and is

00:55:15.020 sanctioning

00:55:15.580 the hell

00:55:15.880 out of

00:55:16.160 them for

00:55:16.540 whatever the

00:55:17.120 hell they're

00:55:17.420 doing.

00:55:19.520 But here's

00:55:20.460 my prediction,

00:55:22.120 you will

00:55:22.660 never see a

00:55:23.760 compelling

00:55:24.160 example of

00:55:25.160 this alleged

00:55:25.820 Russian

00:55:26.560 interference,

00:55:27.900 because if

00:55:28.720 you did,

00:55:29.300 you would

00:55:29.600 see that

00:55:30.040 it's trivial,

00:55:31.480 the same

00:55:31.960 way if

00:55:32.680 you had

00:55:33.000 seen,

00:55:33.400 and almost

00:55:33.900 nobody did,

00:55:35.220 the memes

00:55:35.960 that the

00:55:36.800 so-called

00:55:37.420 Russian

00:55:38.240 troll farm

00:55:39.040 put out

00:55:40.140 in 2016,

00:55:42.060 those memes

00:55:42.800 looked like

00:55:43.420 a sixth

00:55:44.020 grade project

00:55:45.040 that was

00:55:45.900 underfunded.

00:55:47.520 They didn't

00:55:48.320 even look like

00:55:49.100 adults had

00:55:49.740 made them.

00:55:50.440 They were

00:55:50.740 that bad.

00:55:52.300 They certainly

00:55:53.300 had no impact.

00:55:54.840 I definitely

00:55:55.500 never saw

00:55:56.100 them until

00:55:56.940 it all came

00:55:58.080 out and I

00:55:58.780 got to see

00:55:59.160 a bunch

00:55:59.460 of them

00:55:59.740 all at

00:56:00.000 once,

00:56:00.460 and they

00:56:00.900 weren't

00:56:01.100 even in

00:56:01.540 the same

00:56:01.880 direction.

00:56:02.540 Some of

00:56:02.800 them were

00:56:03.060 anti-Hillary,

00:56:04.340 some of

00:56:04.720 them were

00:56:04.980 anti-Trump.

00:56:05.620 You could

00:56:07.940 argue that

00:56:08.700 the troll

00:56:09.080 farm was

00:56:09.560 trying to

00:56:09.980 influence

00:56:10.420 the election

00:56:11.020 because they

00:56:11.860 made U.S.

00:56:13.540 campaign

00:56:14.060 topic memes,

00:56:16.620 but you

00:56:17.620 can't argue

00:56:18.340 it mattered,

00:56:19.720 not when

00:56:20.160 you see

00:56:20.520 them.

00:56:21.560 If you'd

00:56:22.000 never seen

00:56:22.540 them,

00:56:22.860 you could

00:56:23.080 say,

00:56:23.720 well,

00:56:23.860 yeah,

00:56:24.540 it seems

00:56:24.940 entirely

00:56:25.320 possible that

00:56:26.060 a sophisticated

00:56:27.280 KGV

00:56:28.080 operation with

00:56:28.920 the top

00:56:29.860 minds in

00:56:30.840 the world

00:56:31.220 and great

00:56:31.780 hackers could

00:56:32.780 come up

00:56:33.140 with memes

00:56:33.640 that are

00:56:33.880 just so

00:56:34.340 powerful,

00:56:34.780 so good

00:56:35.900 they could

00:56:36.220 influence

00:56:36.600 our

00:56:36.800 election.

00:56:37.660 Yeah,

00:56:38.220 I mean,

00:56:38.640 in the

00:56:39.720 abstract,

00:56:40.700 that seems

00:56:41.040 like totally

00:56:41.580 a thing.

00:56:43.100 And then

00:56:43.560 you see

00:56:43.880 what they

00:56:44.140 actually

00:56:44.440 produced.

00:56:45.880 And you

00:56:46.240 say,

00:56:46.880 oh,

00:56:47.460 this is

00:56:47.820 a little

00:56:48.120 sad.

00:56:49.460 And maybe

00:56:49.920 it's not

00:56:50.420 Putin

00:56:50.800 ordering

00:56:51.260 this,

00:56:52.100 maybe it's

00:56:52.600 somebody who

00:56:53.160 thought they

00:56:53.600 could please

00:56:54.620 Putin by

00:56:55.240 doing it

00:56:55.700 on their

00:56:56.040 own,

00:56:56.700 which is

00:56:57.440 what it

00:56:57.720 looked like.

00:56:59.980 And it's

00:57:00.580 common.

00:57:01.100 Apparently it's

00:57:01.620 common for

00:57:02.200 everybody to

00:57:02.800 jockey for

00:57:03.620 favor with

00:57:04.240 Putin by

00:57:05.340 just trying

00:57:05.760 to do

00:57:06.100 something that

00:57:06.620 they think

00:57:07.020 he would

00:57:07.300 like.

00:57:07.760 And then,

00:57:08.200 hey,

00:57:08.440 look what I

00:57:08.860 did.

00:57:09.700 So don't

00:57:11.500 expect you

00:57:12.040 will ever

00:57:12.380 see some

00:57:13.080 examples of

00:57:14.580 Russian

00:57:14.980 interference.

00:57:16.440 And if

00:57:16.760 you do,

00:57:17.800 it's going to

00:57:18.300 be so trivial

00:57:19.200 that you're

00:57:19.820 going to

00:57:20.040 say,

00:57:20.880 uh,

00:57:21.720 this is

00:57:22.900 what you're

00:57:23.260 talking about.

00:57:24.880 So that's

00:57:25.760 my prediction.

00:57:28.940 about Iran,

00:57:33.540 we may be

00:57:34.540 seeing some

00:57:35.100 more

00:57:35.360 explodey

00:57:36.260 stuff,

00:57:37.080 as Jake

00:57:38.360 Novak

00:57:38.880 had pointed

00:57:40.780 out even

00:57:41.240 months ago.

00:57:42.240 There seems

00:57:42.980 to be at

00:57:43.900 least a

00:57:44.480 suggestion

00:57:45.080 that either

00:57:47.780 Israel or 0.89

00:57:48.640 the United

00:57:49.060 States or

00:57:49.640 both have

00:57:50.700 some extra

00:57:51.480 knowledge about

00:57:52.520 where Iran is

00:57:53.320 keeping their

00:57:53.880 bad stuff,

00:57:54.720 their bomb

00:57:55.280 making stuff,

00:57:56.020 their weapons,

00:57:56.980 et cetera.

00:57:57.280 So somehow

00:57:58.800 we know more

00:57:59.720 than we used

00:58:00.360 to know,

00:58:01.020 and it looks

00:58:01.420 like maybe

00:58:02.200 we or

00:58:03.380 Israel is

00:58:04.060 acting upon

00:58:04.880 it.

00:58:05.860 So that's

00:58:06.520 an interesting

00:58:06.940 story.

00:58:11.520 All right.

00:58:12.420 I think

00:58:12.840 that I've

00:58:15.000 covered

00:58:15.240 everything I'd

00:58:15.880 like to

00:58:16.140 cover.

00:58:17.340 Oh,

00:58:17.500 the Sturgis

00:58:18.140 motorcycle rally.

00:58:19.240 Well,

00:58:19.380 that's a funny

00:58:19.860 story.

00:58:20.660 Yeah,

00:58:20.880 Sturgis,

00:58:21.500 you know,

00:58:21.700 all the

00:58:21.940 motor,

00:58:22.360 the bikers

00:58:23.040 come to

00:58:23.680 Sturgis at

00:58:25.800 the same

00:58:26.200 time and

00:58:26.780 have a big

00:58:27.240 event and

00:58:28.400 there's some

00:58:29.820 fun talk

00:58:30.680 that Antifa

00:58:31.360 could show

00:58:32.000 up,

00:58:32.440 but Antifa

00:58:32.940 is not

00:58:33.300 going to

00:58:33.520 show up

00:58:33.860 there.

00:58:34.980 I would

00:58:35.600 not expect

00:58:36.200 Antifa to

00:58:36.900 show up

00:58:37.200 in Sturgis,

00:58:38.020 but that's

00:58:38.360 a funny

00:58:38.700 thought.

00:58:40.160 All right.

00:58:41.200 That's all

00:58:41.760 for now.

00:58:43.080 Come on,

00:58:43.580 man.

00:58:44.420 I'll talk

00:58:44.900 to you later.
