Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1091 Scott Adams： My Antifa Neighbor Doesn't Like Me, Brain-Dead Biden, Lots of Curse Words Today

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody. Come on in. This morning we're going to have extra cursing. So if you've got children, make sure they are well out of the way. There will be extra cursing.

00:00:30.000 Well, has anybody watched the news recently? There isn't any. There isn't any news. Every morning I wake up and I think, I'm going to look at the news. I'll look at CNN, I'll look at Fox, and I'll say, all right, I'll talk about the news.

00:00:48.800 But today there wasn't any. It's just purely political. Neither Fox nor CNN are even pretending to cover anything like news today. It's just all just pure politics.

00:01:02.920 It's fun, but there was no news, which makes you wonder, what's up with the news? Wait. We need something. We need the simultaneous sift, because today will not be complete without it.

00:01:17.240 And all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chels or sign a canteen jug or flask or vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:01:30.000 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including Joe Biden's rotting fucking brain.

00:01:39.800 Drink. Drink. Ah, this is a good one. Yes, so there will be extra cursing today. Oh, it's called for. It's very called for.

00:01:54.980 Have you noticed? We'll get to all the good stuff here. But have you noticed that if you encounter somebody on Twitter who just gives you a sarcastic comment without any reasons,

00:02:15.080 just stuff like, oh, Scott, I see you're, you're really looking into it today. Or, well, I guess that's all we need to know.

00:02:26.980 And I think to myself, who would put a sarcastic comment that doesn't even kind of work in the situation?

00:02:35.100 And then I checked the profile. What kind of profession? Writers, artists, writers, musicians.

00:02:45.080 Less musicians. It's usually visual artists and writers. What is wrong with those people?

00:02:52.140 They literally can't tell the difference between sarcasm and reasons.

00:02:58.460 Once you see it, you can't unsee it. The pattern is so clear.

00:03:04.380 When somebody who is, say, a lawyer or an engineer or an economist disagrees with me,

00:03:10.140 it takes about two seconds to find out where the disagreement is.

00:03:14.660 Usually some disagreement about a fact that's hard to research or, you know, a difference of priorities, for example.

00:03:23.380 But it never seems crazy. It just feels like people have a little different view of the world, perfectly fair, just different from mine.

00:03:31.360 But the artists, the artists are not even, I don't even know if they know that logic and rationality even exist.

00:03:42.360 It's like it's not even a thing in their world.

00:03:44.660 They don't, they go through these conversations, at least, as if it's nothing that needs to be addressed.

00:03:51.300 Just rationality? Why? I have sarcasm. I have all I need.

00:03:58.720 Look at my sarcasm. That should cover it. I mean...

00:04:03.300 So, anyway.

00:04:06.620 So, when Hillary Clinton was running against Trump, I have to admit that for me it felt personal.

00:04:14.800 Because I really didn't like Hillary Clinton.

00:04:19.280 And she was anti-male.

00:04:22.180 Now, if anybody ever had a good reason to be anti-male, it's Hillary Clinton.

00:04:29.120 You know, she comes by honestly.

00:04:31.360 You know, I think Hillary Clinton could be completely forgiven for being anti-male.

00:04:38.560 Right? If we're being fair.

00:04:40.280 She's got a reason.

00:04:41.400 All right? It's called Bill.

00:04:44.160 But, whatever her reason are, whatever her reason is, she is anti-male.

00:04:51.280 And I think that's pretty obvious.

00:04:53.260 And so, anybody who's anti-me for immutable purposes, doesn't matter why.

00:04:59.040 If they're anti-men, anti-white people, anti-black people.

00:05:04.500 If they're anti-anything about something you're not going to change,

00:05:08.900 or including, I guess, religion, even though you could technically change that if you wanted to.

00:05:14.640 You know, I hate everybody who's in that category, basically.

00:05:19.120 You know, if somebody hates me for any one of those reasons,

00:05:22.720 I just hate their fucking guts.

00:05:25.620 And, likewise, if they're hating some other group I'm not in for the same reason,

00:05:30.860 I'm not too happy with them either.

00:05:32.260 But it's a little more personal when it's me, of course.

00:05:36.300 So, 2016 honestly felt personal.

00:05:39.860 But I wasn't feeling that about Biden or Kamala Harris,

00:05:43.460 because I don't really have a strong feeling about them until today.

00:05:48.040 And here's the thing.

00:05:51.840 When Biden was originally, and when I say originally,

00:05:55.380 I mean not that long ago, in the last few months,

00:05:58.880 he brings up the Charlottesville fine people hoax every now and then.

00:06:04.340 And he believes, or he acts like he believes,

00:06:07.720 that the president called the neo-Nazis fine people.

00:06:11.200 All of you know it was a hoax.

00:06:14.020 You know that the president literally said the opposite.

00:06:16.180 You know that all the people who said,

00:06:18.340 I saw it with my own ears.

00:06:20.660 Because they talk like that.

00:06:22.000 They see things with their ears.

00:06:24.140 You know that they saw the edited version that reverses the meaning.

00:06:27.800 If you see the full thing, it completely flips it.

00:06:31.820 But I thought when he was saying it originally,

00:06:37.960 I said to myself, you know, he's not all there.

00:06:41.320 He probably doesn't know it's not real.

00:06:43.820 He probably thinks it's real.

00:06:45.260 Because a lot of people were fooled into thinking he was real,

00:06:48.500 so maybe he was fooled too.

00:06:51.800 But at this point, at this point,

00:06:55.380 he's basing his campaign on the Charlottesville fine people hoax.

00:07:00.500 He made that very clear again last night with Kamala Harris.

00:07:04.340 And here's what's different.

00:07:07.600 Do I understand that President Trump has failed the fact-checking 20,000 times?

00:07:13.920 Can we just get this off the table?

00:07:16.640 Yes, I fucking know it.

00:07:19.000 You don't have to come into my comments and say,

00:07:22.720 well, what are you saying?

00:07:23.860 If Biden said that and it's not true,

00:07:26.140 what about Trump's 20,000 fact-checking?

00:07:28.920 Yes, I fucking know it.

00:07:31.300 I fucking know it.

00:07:33.460 You don't have to tell me.

00:07:35.220 And you know what's different about the Trump supporters from the other people?

00:07:41.320 They know what they're getting.

00:07:43.720 And they chose it.

00:07:45.480 Right?

00:07:45.980 So we know that President Trump uses hyperbole.

00:07:50.080 You know, he influences, he sells.

00:07:53.100 And you don't take him exactly literally if you understand where he's going.

00:07:57.660 Do I care if he built 100 miles of wall or it's 65?

00:08:04.080 Don't fucking care in the big picture.

00:08:08.000 You might like 100, you know, 100 better than 65.

00:08:11.480 But it doesn't really matter.

00:08:13.080 You know what he's doing.

00:08:14.060 He's trying to show progress.

00:08:15.360 He's trying to, you know, keep people feeling good about the country,

00:08:19.000 moving forward, pushing all the time.

00:08:21.260 Now, that is very, very different from saying that the president is a flat-out racist

00:08:28.680 because of the fine people hoax.

00:08:32.060 Now, if the president had said that, well, yeah,

00:08:35.800 anybody who supported him would have a lot of explaining to do.

00:08:40.300 Would you not agree?

00:08:41.640 If the president really called the neo-Nazis fine people,

00:08:45.140 if that had actually happened in the real world,

00:08:48.760 do you think I would fucking support it?

00:08:51.260 No!

00:08:52.820 I hope most of you wouldn't either.

00:08:55.980 It wouldn't fucking happen.

00:08:58.860 So here's the thing.

00:09:01.020 The fine people hoax is not like other fact-checking.

00:09:04.460 It is the tentpole that allows the people who are the anti-Trumpers

00:09:09.220 to dehumanize his supporters to the point of fucking violence.

00:09:14.700 It is not safe to live in a country where your fucking candidate for president

00:09:21.340 is demonizing, what, 35% of the country, 40% of the country

00:09:26.020 as literal racists because of this fine people hoax.

00:09:30.860 Because, again, if that were true,

00:09:33.240 if this president had actually said those words,

00:09:36.400 I wouldn't fucking support him, but he didn't.

00:09:39.380 He didn't say those words.

00:09:41.000 He said the exact fucking opposite.

00:09:44.760 Now, what's different is,

00:09:46.980 if you push that hoax,

00:09:49.100 you are demonizing Trump supporters to the point of violence.

00:09:53.600 Real fucking violence.

00:09:54.940 Yesterday, I take my garbage out in front of my house.

00:09:58.640 Just taking the garbage out.

00:10:00.000 Ordinary night.

00:10:01.420 Car slows down in front of my house.

00:10:04.000 Pulls down, puts the window down,

00:10:06.240 and calls me a racist by name.

00:10:09.720 Right?

00:10:10.000 So somebody knew my name

00:10:11.160 and called me a racist from their car.

00:10:15.600 Now, of course,

00:10:16.980 fucking idiot doesn't know that in my neighborhood

00:10:19.160 we're kind of ready for this stuff,

00:10:21.020 so here's a good picture of the fucking idiot

00:10:23.960 driving past all the security cameras in the world.

00:10:27.320 It's not the best place to commit a crime, asshole.

00:10:30.460 Now, I don't know if it's technically a crime

00:10:32.740 to call somebody a racist from their car,

00:10:34.880 but we'll have a conversation later today.

00:10:37.620 Fucker.

00:10:38.560 Now, the interesting part about it is

00:10:40.380 when I heard the voice before I, you know,

00:10:42.920 looked at the video,

00:10:44.740 I couldn't tell if it was male or female.

00:10:47.820 It was somewhere in between.

00:10:49.120 And then I look at it,

00:10:51.300 it's like, oh, fuck, it's Antifa.

00:10:54.220 It's fucking Antifa.

00:10:55.940 Now, I don't know if it's, like, technically a member,

00:10:58.320 but, you know, they all have that little uniform.

00:11:01.240 And, you know,

00:11:03.740 the genders are always a little hard to determine.

00:11:07.440 It looks very Antifa.

00:11:10.140 I don't know if it is or not.

00:11:12.040 So I don't know what gender we're dealing with.

00:11:14.220 And if you're new to this,

00:11:19.180 I don't care.

00:11:20.660 I'm not one of those people who cares

00:11:22.220 about the labeling of the gender.

00:11:25.080 I want everybody to be happy

00:11:26.620 and do whatever they want

00:11:27.760 in their personal sexual preferences.

00:11:30.320 I have just no,

00:11:31.600 I have no biases about that at all.

00:11:34.260 But,

00:11:35.000 it is sort of an identifying feature of Antifa.

00:11:39.580 I don't think we can doubt that.

00:11:41.980 So here's the thing.

00:11:43.020 If my neighbor has the temerity

00:11:45.220 to roll past my house,

00:11:47.280 not trying to hide his or her identity

00:11:50.460 or whatever gender-fluid situation is going on here,

00:11:54.360 that's not a safe place to live.

00:11:57.900 It's not.

00:11:58.820 Because when you call somebody a racist,

00:12:00.960 you are giving yourself permission

00:12:02.520 to hurt them physically.

00:12:03.920 And so,

00:12:05.700 I ask this.

00:12:08.860 Why is it that Twitter allows this?

00:12:11.240 So I just tweeted before I got on,

00:12:13.180 tweeted at Jack Dorsey,

00:12:15.740 that if,

00:12:17.180 as I understand the Twitter rules

00:12:19.500 and,

00:12:21.620 let's say,

00:12:22.340 philosophical preferences,

00:12:23.820 if you will,

00:12:24.340 in addition to the rules,

00:12:25.820 my understanding is that Twitter

00:12:27.460 doesn't want to ban free speech.

00:12:30.640 So just saying something

00:12:32.480 that isn't true

00:12:33.420 would not be enough

00:12:34.900 to get you banned

00:12:36.100 or labeled

00:12:36.660 or have your tweet taken down

00:12:38.220 or anything like that.

00:12:39.340 So simply being not true

00:12:41.300 can't be that big of a problem

00:12:44.180 in the world

00:12:44.940 which you have free speech

00:12:46.160 because there's just going to be

00:12:47.120 too much of it, right?

00:12:48.100 You can't really police that.

00:12:50.020 But there is a different category

00:12:51.660 that Twitter cares about a lot,

00:12:53.940 which is it could get somebody hurt

00:12:55.720 physically,

00:12:57.600 a call to violence, for example.

00:12:59.740 Or it could change

00:13:01.500 the course of an election

00:13:02.500 because, let's say,

00:13:03.980 let's say it was a tweet

00:13:05.040 telling you the wrong day

00:13:06.180 for election day.

00:13:07.960 That could change

00:13:09.080 the actual election.

00:13:10.480 So I would want,

00:13:11.460 I would want social media

00:13:13.120 to flag that

00:13:14.700 because you do want everybody

00:13:16.340 to show up

00:13:16.880 on the right fucking day, right?

00:13:18.580 I mean,

00:13:19.040 I don't want to win

00:13:20.840 any election so much

00:13:22.020 that I want people

00:13:22.780 to show up on the wrong day

00:13:23.960 to win it.

00:13:25.580 That's not the way

00:13:26.520 to get there.

00:13:26.960 So,

00:13:29.640 here's the thing.

00:13:32.740 I think Twitter

00:13:33.720 has to recognize

00:13:34.580 that the fine people hoax

00:13:36.140 is not like other facts

00:13:37.880 because it is

00:13:39.440 a call to violence.

00:13:41.020 It is a pretty direct

00:13:42.700 call to violence

00:13:43.780 because once you've said

00:13:45.660 that the supporters

00:13:46.840 are on the side

00:13:47.600 of the neo-Nazis,

00:13:49.140 in the United States,

00:13:50.860 that's permission.

00:13:52.540 That's permission

00:13:53.540 for violence.

00:13:54.740 It's permission

00:13:55.300 for what my neighbor

00:13:56.320 did,

00:13:57.660 who will be hearing

00:13:58.380 about it a little bit later.

00:14:00.840 All right?

00:14:01.260 It's permission.

00:14:02.980 And Twitter,

00:14:04.340 I think you've got to

00:14:05.080 look at this

00:14:05.600 pretty carefully.

00:14:07.160 This is not like

00:14:08.240 other fact-checking.

00:14:09.480 When you say

00:14:10.160 somebody's with

00:14:10.920 the neo-Nazis

00:14:11.900 in the United States

00:14:13.560 in 2020,

00:14:14.780 you just painted

00:14:15.640 a fucking target

00:14:16.680 on their back.

00:14:18.260 All right?

00:14:18.860 So,

00:14:19.180 let me back up

00:14:21.080 to my point

00:14:21.740 about when Hillary

00:14:23.380 was running,

00:14:24.680 it felt personal to me.

00:14:26.520 With Biden

00:14:27.160 and Kamala Harris,

00:14:28.300 it did not

00:14:28.940 until yesterday.

00:14:31.140 Now it's fucking personal.

00:14:33.420 I've got a stake in this.

00:14:35.140 I'm actually physically

00:14:36.700 at risk

00:14:37.800 if this fucking lie

00:14:39.940 keeps going.

00:14:41.160 I've spent months

00:14:42.200 trying to kill

00:14:42.820 this fucking thing.

00:14:43.720 And the fake news,

00:14:45.720 who is now

00:14:46.180 completely illegitimate

00:14:47.620 to the point

00:14:48.320 of accepting

00:14:49.000 violence against

00:14:50.080 part of the citizenship

00:14:51.260 of this fucking country,

00:14:53.420 has a lot

00:14:54.260 to fucking explain.

00:14:56.040 Now,

00:14:56.600 I'll give Jake Tapper

00:14:57.780 credit.

00:14:58.260 He's the only person

00:14:59.080 I know,

00:14:59.840 as CNN,

00:15:00.940 who has clarified

00:15:02.280 at least

00:15:02.880 the fine people hoax

00:15:04.080 on camera

00:15:04.700 and said that

00:15:05.880 the president

00:15:06.360 went on to say

00:15:07.080 he wasn't talking

00:15:07.840 about that group.

00:15:09.520 So,

00:15:09.940 Jake's the only person

00:15:11.140 who's even given

00:15:13.260 a little fucking care

00:15:15.020 to whether it's

00:15:16.580 true or false.

00:15:17.460 and I feel like

00:15:19.260 he could step up

00:15:19.980 a little bit

00:15:20.500 better too.

00:15:21.880 You know,

00:15:22.060 ultimately,

00:15:22.760 I ended up

00:15:23.380 blocking Jake

00:15:24.560 and so he's

00:15:25.820 out of my life now.

00:15:26.920 You know,

00:15:27.100 we'd worked together

00:15:28.880 on some charities

00:15:29.800 and stuff

00:15:30.360 and I liked him

00:15:33.100 but here's my rule.

00:15:34.720 If somebody thinks

00:15:35.740 I'm a racist,

00:15:37.060 I'm not going to be

00:15:37.780 your fucking friend.

00:15:39.180 I'm not going to

00:15:39.800 do a favor for you.

00:15:41.620 I'm not going to

00:15:42.420 have you in my life

00:15:43.680 at one little

00:15:45.100 fucking bit.

00:15:46.560 All right?

00:15:47.080 Now,

00:15:47.520 you can have

00:15:47.920 all the opinions

00:15:48.660 you want

00:15:49.340 but if you think

00:15:50.500 I'm a racist

00:15:51.460 because,

00:15:52.820 you know,

00:15:53.440 I think the president

00:15:54.240 is not,

00:15:55.640 if that's what you think,

00:15:57.740 fuck you.

00:15:58.660 Just get out of my life

00:15:59.660 and stay out.

00:16:00.660 All right?

00:16:00.900 I don't want to have

00:16:01.440 anything to do with you.

00:16:03.000 All right?

00:16:03.320 If you're that fucking dumb

00:16:04.820 that you think

00:16:07.020 you believe

00:16:07.520 the fine people hoax

00:16:08.620 and that's coloring

00:16:10.420 your worldview,

00:16:12.120 in Jake's case,

00:16:13.740 I don't know

00:16:14.140 what the fuck's

00:16:14.820 going on there

00:16:15.400 because I think

00:16:16.800 he knows,

00:16:17.840 well,

00:16:18.260 I don't think

00:16:18.960 he wants,

00:16:19.560 I won't,

00:16:20.060 I won't,

00:16:20.620 I won't assume

00:16:22.620 I know what he's thinking

00:16:23.640 so forget that.

00:16:25.660 All right,

00:16:25.980 so here's the thing.

00:16:26.740 The gloves are off

00:16:27.700 and here's,

00:16:29.220 here's a specific thing

00:16:30.540 that I'll be doing

00:16:31.360 a little bit differently.

00:16:33.820 I had been saying

00:16:34.960 that I felt bad

00:16:35.920 about making fun

00:16:36.960 of Biden's

00:16:37.880 mental state

00:16:38.800 because he's not all there

00:16:40.340 and I think that,

00:16:42.640 you know,

00:16:42.760 I've been saying

00:16:43.320 that he needs

00:16:43.940 a more respectable

00:16:45.640 send-off.

00:16:47.040 You know,

00:16:47.300 he should be retired

00:16:49.500 with some dignity

00:16:50.940 for his years

00:16:52.220 of public service.

00:16:53.520 People say

00:16:54.180 he's a nice person,

00:16:55.560 you know,

00:16:56.080 he's nice in person.

00:16:57.520 I don't doubt it.

00:16:59.260 But,

00:17:00.080 now it's war

00:17:01.340 because Biden

00:17:03.440 is making it dangerous.

00:17:05.140 so let me,

00:17:06.820 let me put it

00:17:07.720 very clearly.

00:17:12.340 There's almost

00:17:13.240 nothing

00:17:14.020 that's off the table

00:17:15.620 anymore

00:17:16.180 because

00:17:17.320 it's a clear

00:17:18.680 and present danger

00:17:19.600 to me physically.

00:17:21.560 All right?

00:17:21.920 Once it becomes

00:17:22.740 a physical danger,

00:17:25.580 all the rules

00:17:26.820 are off.

00:17:27.980 All right?

00:17:28.300 I believe

00:17:30.280 there are two ways

00:17:31.060 to fight

00:17:31.640 in terms of

00:17:33.840 like getting into

00:17:34.520 a fight

00:17:34.880 with another person.

00:17:37.420 Method one

00:17:38.160 is run away,

00:17:39.180 which is always

00:17:39.820 my first choice.

00:17:41.740 If somebody

00:17:42.480 wants to fight me

00:17:43.340 and I think

00:17:43.920 I might get hurt,

00:17:46.540 you know,

00:17:46.700 even if I win the fight

00:17:47.680 I might get hurt.

00:17:48.620 I don't want to get hurt.

00:17:50.260 So my first instinct

00:17:51.340 is run away.

00:17:53.000 And I would

00:17:53.680 recommend this

00:17:54.320 to all of you

00:17:54.980 as a self-defense

00:17:56.300 mechanism.

00:17:57.520 Run away.

00:17:59.140 So that's

00:17:59.520 strategy number one,

00:18:01.300 run away.

00:18:03.380 Strategy number two

00:18:04.520 is to kill the person.

00:18:07.540 And anything in between

00:18:08.800 is just bullshit.

00:18:10.460 All right?

00:18:10.780 Anybody who gets

00:18:11.520 in a fight,

00:18:13.060 even if they think

00:18:13.820 they're going to win

00:18:14.340 the fight,

00:18:15.320 I don't quite understand it.

00:18:16.900 I mean,

00:18:17.180 there might be

00:18:17.580 some special cases

00:18:18.520 where you have to

00:18:19.180 because there's

00:18:19.580 something in media

00:18:20.220 happening.

00:18:21.260 But if you have

00:18:21.840 an option,

00:18:23.420 run away.

00:18:25.180 But if that person

00:18:26.280 still needs to be killed,

00:18:28.100 well, you know

00:18:28.580 where to find them.

00:18:29.580 Why would you

00:18:30.540 take a chance

00:18:31.160 of getting hurt yourself?

00:18:33.100 Find them,

00:18:33.720 hunt them down,

00:18:34.220 and kill them.

00:18:35.160 Now, fortunately,

00:18:36.840 that has never happened.

00:18:38.340 I've never had to

00:18:39.060 hunt somebody down

00:18:39.800 and kill them

00:18:40.320 because I've never

00:18:41.800 had such a reason.

00:18:43.740 I hope I never do.

00:18:45.420 But my point is,

00:18:47.040 I don't have

00:18:47.820 I don't have

00:18:48.940 an in-between speed.

00:18:51.140 So in the political sense,

00:18:53.040 Biden has to go down.

00:18:54.560 Not in the physical sense.

00:18:56.320 But in the political sense,

00:18:58.420 all the regulators

00:19:00.380 are off.

00:19:01.760 So his

00:19:02.740 rotted fucking brain

00:19:04.860 can't ruin the country

00:19:06.860 the way

00:19:07.720 it looks like

00:19:08.980 it's shaping up.

00:19:10.320 So Biden

00:19:11.020 is going to have

00:19:13.220 a little extra

00:19:13.920 pressure on him.

00:19:15.860 more to come

00:19:16.980 on that topic.

00:19:20.300 Yeah, it's a

00:19:21.040 strategic retreat

00:19:22.060 is what it is.

00:19:23.520 Yeah, here's

00:19:24.200 what I've never understood.

00:19:25.740 Why would you

00:19:26.220 hurt somebody

00:19:27.040 who knows

00:19:27.500 where you live?

00:19:29.140 Have you ever

00:19:29.840 thought that

00:19:30.280 that was weird?

00:19:32.000 It makes,

00:19:32.660 you know,

00:19:32.900 I can imagine

00:19:33.580 hurting somebody

00:19:34.320 if they didn't

00:19:34.840 know who you were

00:19:35.640 and they didn't

00:19:36.820 know where you lived.

00:19:38.160 But if they know

00:19:38.980 who you are

00:19:39.540 and where you live,

00:19:41.220 why would you

00:19:41.720 ever hurt somebody?

00:19:43.100 It feels like

00:19:43.660 a really bad

00:19:44.260 strategy for life.

00:19:45.300 because it's

00:19:46.400 going to come

00:19:46.760 back.

00:19:48.360 All right.

00:19:51.080 And it's kind

00:19:51.920 of amazing to me

00:19:52.780 that something

00:19:53.500 like the

00:19:54.200 find people hoax

00:19:55.500 and a lot

00:19:56.180 of the other

00:19:56.680 hoaxes,

00:19:59.060 they can

00:19:59.780 remain

00:20:00.700 completely intact

00:20:01.860 because the

00:20:03.340 fake news

00:20:04.200 has such a

00:20:05.440 good bubble

00:20:05.960 that the

00:20:07.640 people on the

00:20:08.240 left,

00:20:08.640 they really

00:20:09.160 won't touch

00:20:10.040 news that's

00:20:11.480 not in their

00:20:11.920 bubble.

00:20:12.520 I mean,

00:20:12.680 it's like

00:20:12.900 you could

00:20:14.980 send them

00:20:15.440 an article

00:20:16.500 from Breitbart.

00:20:17.860 Try this

00:20:18.580 with any

00:20:18.980 of your

00:20:19.360 friends.

00:20:20.500 Send an

00:20:21.020 article from

00:20:21.680 Breitbart

00:20:22.220 to one of

00:20:23.380 your trump

00:20:23.960 hating friends

00:20:24.540 and say,

00:20:24.960 hey,

00:20:25.420 here's something

00:20:26.180 that contradicts

00:20:27.220 what you thought

00:20:27.720 was true

00:20:28.160 and it shows

00:20:29.280 its sources.

00:20:30.200 You can check

00:20:30.660 for yourself

00:20:31.140 and you'd

00:20:31.520 see that it's

00:20:32.000 right.

00:20:32.780 You can't

00:20:33.460 even get

00:20:34.000 them to

00:20:34.360 read a

00:20:36.680 Breitbart

00:20:37.100 article.

00:20:37.680 They just

00:20:37.920 won't do it.

00:20:38.960 Won't even

00:20:39.500 read it.

00:20:39.900 So their

00:20:42.300 bubble is

00:20:42.780 complete.

00:20:43.840 Now I have

00:20:44.240 to admit,

00:20:44.960 there are

00:20:46.240 a few

00:20:46.720 sources that

00:20:47.740 I feel

00:20:48.160 the same.

00:20:49.380 If somebody

00:20:49.920 sends me

00:20:50.440 an article

00:20:50.800 from the

00:20:51.280 Huffington

00:20:51.680 Post to

00:20:52.620 make their

00:20:53.180 point,

00:20:54.140 well,

00:20:54.440 I'm not

00:20:54.700 going to

00:20:54.880 read that.

00:20:56.160 Come on.

00:20:57.040 Or the

00:20:57.360 Atlantic.

00:20:59.100 Has anybody

00:20:59.760 ever sent

00:21:00.200 you an

00:21:00.680 article from

00:21:01.240 the Atlantic

00:21:01.840 to make

00:21:03.040 their case

00:21:03.600 that Trump

00:21:04.840 is orange

00:21:05.700 man bad?

00:21:06.780 If I see

00:21:07.400 an article

00:21:07.740 from the

00:21:08.180 Atlantic,

00:21:08.640 I just

00:21:08.920 laugh.

00:21:09.900 And I

00:21:10.180 think you

00:21:10.560 poor,

00:21:11.240 poor bastard.

00:21:12.440 If you're

00:21:12.900 reading stuff

00:21:14.260 in the

00:21:14.520 Atlantic,

00:21:15.400 and you

00:21:15.780 think that

00:21:16.220 that view

00:21:16.620 of the

00:21:16.840 world is

00:21:17.420 anything

00:21:17.840 close to

00:21:19.340 accurate,

00:21:21.000 you poor,

00:21:21.940 poor fucking

00:21:22.660 bastard.

00:21:24.520 You know,

00:21:25.260 I ask this

00:21:26.020 question,

00:21:26.580 and this is

00:21:27.220 serious.

00:21:28.480 Objectively

00:21:29.040 speaking,

00:21:30.020 if you take

00:21:30.680 politics out

00:21:31.380 of it,

00:21:32.560 and you're

00:21:32.980 just scoring,

00:21:34.540 is Biden

00:21:35.280 the most

00:21:35.800 prolific liar

00:21:36.980 the Democrats

00:21:37.740 have ever

00:21:38.180 run for

00:21:39.280 president?

00:21:40.860 Do you

00:21:41.520 think that

00:21:41.820 that's true?

00:21:43.040 Do you

00:21:43.480 think that

00:21:43.980 there's never

00:21:44.780 been a

00:21:45.460 bigger,

00:21:45.840 more obvious

00:21:47.020 liar than

00:21:48.820 Biden?

00:21:49.740 Now,

00:21:50.000 of course,

00:21:50.320 you're going

00:21:50.520 to say,

00:21:50.900 hey,

00:21:51.260 but Bill

00:21:52.060 Clinton

00:21:52.420 lied,

00:21:53.060 and you're

00:21:53.360 going to

00:21:53.440 say,

00:21:54.040 hey,

00:21:54.280 Obama

00:21:54.700 lied,

00:21:55.780 and all

00:21:56.440 the politicians

00:21:57.560 lie.

00:21:58.900 Let us

00:22:00.060 stipulate that

00:22:01.620 we don't have

00:22:02.320 presidents who

00:22:03.160 have told no

00:22:03.860 lies according

00:22:04.720 to third

00:22:05.380 parties who rank

00:22:07.060 these things.

00:22:08.340 But I'm

00:22:09.440 just saying

00:22:09.980 that Biden

00:22:10.560 might be the

00:22:11.320 lyingest of

00:22:12.120 all the

00:22:12.440 liars.

00:22:13.600 Am I

00:22:13.920 wrong about

00:22:14.320 that?

00:22:14.860 Because the

00:22:15.600 types of

00:22:16.020 lies that

00:22:16.560 he's told

00:22:17.180 are ridiculous

00:22:19.100 ones,

00:22:19.720 like his

00:22:20.080 own

00:22:20.260 resume.

00:22:21.200 He's lied

00:22:21.740 about his

00:22:23.540 education.

00:22:25.020 He's lied

00:22:25.760 about some

00:22:26.240 pretty big

00:22:26.940 stuff.

00:22:28.100 And now

00:22:28.380 he lied

00:22:29.940 about the

00:22:30.360 president being

00:22:30.980 soft on

00:22:31.600 terrorists?

00:22:33.120 What?

00:22:34.600 It's big

00:22:35.240 soft on

00:22:35.840 terrorists?

00:22:36.660 And so

00:22:36.860 he says,

00:22:37.280 or Vox,

00:22:37.900 yeah.

00:22:38.320 If somebody

00:22:38.720 sends me a

00:22:39.320 Vox article,

00:22:40.500 I usually

00:22:41.220 just laugh.

00:22:42.700 Because you

00:22:43.120 don't really

00:22:43.780 need to read

00:22:44.340 it to know

00:22:45.420 that it's

00:22:45.720 bullshit.

00:22:49.540 But if

00:22:50.100 somebody

00:22:50.340 sent me

00:22:50.760 something a

00:22:53.140 little bit

00:22:53.660 more mainstream,

00:22:55.040 I might

00:22:55.320 read it.

00:22:58.580 So that's

00:22:59.500 just a

00:22:59.780 question.

00:23:00.300 In my

00:23:00.800 opinion,

00:23:01.380 I think

00:23:01.760 that we

00:23:02.040 would find,

00:23:02.540 at least

00:23:02.740 in modern

00:23:03.240 times,

00:23:04.080 that Biden

00:23:04.600 is the

00:23:05.080 most lying

00:23:05.720 Democrat

00:23:06.980 who's ever

00:23:07.900 run.

00:23:08.700 On purely

00:23:09.260 objective

00:23:09.720 things,

00:23:10.320 I think

00:23:12.080 you could

00:23:12.340 just score

00:23:12.840 it and

00:23:13.140 see how

00:23:13.400 many times

00:23:13.820 he's lied

00:23:14.320 and what

00:23:15.080 kind of

00:23:15.400 lies they

00:23:15.820 are.

00:23:17.500 Which is

00:23:18.140 an interesting

00:23:18.620 strategy.

00:23:20.020 Because what

00:23:20.400 is the

00:23:20.780 biggest

00:23:21.160 complaint

00:23:21.740 about this

00:23:22.400 president?

00:23:24.180 You know,

00:23:24.540 before Trump

00:23:25.920 was in

00:23:26.460 office,

00:23:27.020 there were

00:23:27.200 all these

00:23:27.560 complaints

00:23:27.980 about the

00:23:28.400 bad things

00:23:28.880 he would

00:23:29.300 do,

00:23:29.980 right?

00:23:30.540 He will

00:23:31.260 blow up

00:23:31.760 the country.

00:23:32.400 He will

00:23:32.840 destroy the

00:23:33.620 economy.

00:23:34.700 He will

00:23:35.280 whatever.

00:23:37.260 And then

00:23:37.720 three years

00:23:38.900 of governing

00:23:39.420 and none

00:23:40.540 of that

00:23:40.820 stuff happens,

00:23:41.980 right?

00:23:42.460 He wasn't

00:23:43.140 a Russian

00:23:43.580 puppet.

00:23:45.160 You know,

00:23:45.360 the Russia

00:23:45.940 collusion

00:23:46.400 didn't happen.

00:23:48.100 So after

00:23:49.120 three years,

00:23:49.780 you talk to

00:23:50.400 your Democrat

00:23:51.160 friends who

00:23:51.880 hate Trump

00:23:52.560 and you say,

00:23:53.700 what is it

00:23:54.060 about him

00:23:54.600 that you

00:23:55.640 hate now

00:23:56.460 that you've

00:23:56.840 seen that

00:23:57.180 everything you

00:23:57.800 thought would

00:23:58.220 happen didn't

00:23:58.800 happen?

00:23:59.120 And what

00:24:00.300 is the

00:24:00.720 usual answer?

00:24:02.680 The usual

00:24:03.640 answer you'll

00:24:04.420 get from

00:24:05.940 an educated

00:24:06.980 Trump hater

00:24:08.240 who's watched

00:24:09.480 him for three

00:24:10.100 years and none

00:24:10.820 of the things

00:24:11.300 that he thought

00:24:11.720 would happen

00:24:12.140 happened.

00:24:13.220 And what

00:24:13.660 did they

00:24:13.900 say?

00:24:14.660 Well,

00:24:14.960 he's a

00:24:15.260 liar.

00:24:16.280 He's a

00:24:16.620 big liar.

00:24:18.820 Now,

00:24:19.480 fact check

00:24:20.080 me on this.

00:24:20.680 Have you had

00:24:21.420 this conversation

00:24:22.300 after, say,

00:24:23.560 three years

00:24:24.100 of governing

00:24:24.960 when you

00:24:25.700 don't have

00:24:26.060 to guess

00:24:26.500 what happened?

00:24:27.680 You just

00:24:28.040 look at it.

00:24:29.120 Don't they

00:24:29.780 say the

00:24:30.320 biggest problem

00:24:31.040 with the

00:24:31.480 president is

00:24:32.220 that he

00:24:32.580 lies?

00:24:33.820 That's it,

00:24:34.480 right?

00:24:34.700 It's the

00:24:35.040 number one

00:24:35.480 thing.

00:24:35.960 Because all

00:24:36.580 of the other

00:24:37.080 things just

00:24:37.620 sort of went

00:24:38.160 away.

00:24:39.060 Now, you

00:24:39.500 and I

00:24:39.900 probably think,

00:24:40.820 okay, you

00:24:41.320 call it

00:24:41.760 lying, I

00:24:42.940 call it

00:24:43.260 hyperbole,

00:24:44.820 yeah, he

00:24:45.360 maybe should

00:24:46.480 say less

00:24:46.980 about the

00:24:47.400 medical stuff.

00:24:49.140 Well, I

00:24:49.460 get it.

00:24:50.500 But have

00:24:51.080 we not

00:24:51.520 learned how

00:24:52.380 to filter

00:24:54.100 things?

00:24:55.180 Have we

00:24:55.620 not watched

00:24:56.300 enough of

00:24:56.780 this president

00:24:57.360 to say,

00:24:58.340 okay, there's

00:24:59.080 the claim.

00:25:00.240 Now let's

00:25:00.700 look at what

00:25:01.360 the experts

00:25:01.840 say, see if

00:25:02.880 it's a

00:25:03.240 hyperbole or

00:25:03.920 not.

00:25:04.620 Have we not

00:25:05.220 learned to

00:25:05.820 understand how

00:25:07.160 that works?

00:25:08.120 That he is

00:25:08.760 intentionally and

00:25:10.460 tells us

00:25:11.260 directly.

00:25:12.380 This is the

00:25:12.940 fun part.

00:25:14.020 The president

00:25:14.660 told us while

00:25:15.860 he was running,

00:25:16.700 before he was

00:25:17.380 elected, after

00:25:18.560 he was elected,

00:25:19.680 that he uses

00:25:20.360 optimism and

00:25:22.040 uses hyperbole.

00:25:23.140 and he tells

00:25:25.080 us.

00:25:26.020 He actually

00:25:26.600 tells us that

00:25:28.500 he's going to

00:25:28.960 do it.

00:25:30.580 And then he

00:25:31.300 doesn't.

00:25:32.320 That feels a

00:25:33.140 lot different

00:25:33.800 than just

00:25:34.640 making up a

00:25:35.400 lie that

00:25:35.820 would tear

00:25:36.220 the social

00:25:36.760 fabric of

00:25:37.360 the country

00:25:37.740 apart.

00:25:38.460 Those are

00:25:38.860 not the

00:25:39.280 same thing.

00:25:40.700 Biden's

00:25:41.220 lying is the

00:25:42.020 dangerous

00:25:42.460 kind.

00:25:43.440 The president's

00:25:44.300 lying, if you

00:25:45.280 want to call

00:25:45.700 it that, is

00:25:46.980 the salesman

00:25:47.760 kind.

00:25:48.720 Is the

00:25:49.200 salesman

00:25:49.680 destroying the

00:25:50.440 country?

00:25:52.100 No.

00:25:53.220 No.

00:25:53.800 Probably not.

00:25:54.540 Probably just

00:25:54.980 selling you a

00:25:55.500 car that you

00:25:55.920 might be happy

00:25:56.460 with if you

00:25:56.920 bought.

00:25:58.180 So, somebody

00:26:00.780 says, I lived

00:26:01.400 in Delaware

00:26:01.780 for 20 years

00:26:02.520 and he's

00:26:02.900 dirty, Biden

00:26:03.740 is.

00:26:04.780 Well, I

00:26:05.360 don't doubt

00:26:05.800 that.

00:26:06.580 But he's

00:26:07.200 been so

00:26:07.660 vetted that

00:26:08.460 I don't know

00:26:09.020 how any of

00:26:09.340 that's going

00:26:09.660 to stick to

00:26:10.200 him.

00:26:10.800 I know what

00:26:11.240 you're talking

00:26:11.580 about, though,

00:26:12.060 the credit

00:26:12.460 card companies

00:26:13.120 and all that

00:26:13.940 stuff.

00:26:15.140 Here's something

00:26:15.860 funny.

00:26:17.640 Have you seen

00:26:18.220 the way that

00:26:18.820 the media is

00:26:19.720 treating the

00:26:20.240 photography and

00:26:22.140 the graphic

00:26:22.760 images for

00:26:24.220 Harris and

00:26:25.580 Biden?

00:26:26.580 Have you

00:26:26.980 noticed that

00:26:27.480 they're putting

00:26:27.900 a big picture

00:26:29.960 of Kamala

00:26:30.860 Harris and

00:26:31.960 then they'll

00:26:32.360 put a little

00:26:32.820 picture of

00:26:33.300 Biden standing

00:26:34.020 behind her?

00:26:36.420 On what

00:26:37.240 planet in

00:26:38.260 what year have

00:26:39.420 you ever seen

00:26:39.920 the vice

00:26:40.360 president featured

00:26:42.040 and the top

00:26:43.780 of the ticket

00:26:44.300 standing way

00:26:45.040 back in the

00:26:45.560 corner like

00:26:46.080 he's disappearing?

00:26:47.820 Have you

00:26:48.480 seen that?

00:26:49.020 it is so

00:26:50.420 obvious that

00:26:51.940 they're

00:26:52.160 de-emphasizing

00:26:53.040 Biden, the

00:26:53.700 head of the

00:26:54.040 ticket, that

00:26:55.440 if this were

00:26:56.700 a comedy, I

00:26:58.140 mean, you

00:26:58.320 could play

00:26:58.660 this as a

00:26:59.160 comedy.

00:27:00.140 Imagine this

00:27:00.800 is a movie,

00:27:02.060 all right?

00:27:03.440 Literally, imagine

00:27:04.580 it's a movie and

00:27:05.920 you're seeing the

00:27:06.500 graphic artists and

00:27:07.600 they're, you know,

00:27:08.160 the graphic artist

00:27:08.860 comes to the

00:27:09.400 boss, let's say

00:27:10.620 they work at one

00:27:11.260 of these big

00:27:11.680 publications, they

00:27:12.900 say, all right,

00:27:13.280 here's my graphic

00:27:13.900 treatment and the

00:27:15.860 editor says, can

00:27:18.120 you make, you've

00:27:19.480 got the vice

00:27:20.400 president and the

00:27:21.060 president, Biden

00:27:21.940 and Harris, the

00:27:23.200 candidates, you've

00:27:24.420 got them the same

00:27:25.120 size, could you

00:27:27.340 go back and make,

00:27:28.540 just make the

00:27:29.120 Biden one a

00:27:29.920 little bit smaller

00:27:31.000 and make the

00:27:32.240 Harris one a

00:27:33.060 little bit bigger

00:27:33.600 and the graphic

00:27:34.740 artist goes back

00:27:35.620 and now the

00:27:37.320 Biden is half

00:27:38.140 the size of the

00:27:39.660 Harris and the

00:27:40.820 editor says,

00:27:41.980 ah, okay, we're

00:27:43.820 moving in the

00:27:44.400 right direction

00:27:45.000 but the Biden

00:27:47.020 is still a

00:27:48.260 little bit big,

00:27:49.740 could you, you

00:27:50.800 know, just a

00:27:51.380 little bit, just

00:27:52.920 take a little off

00:27:53.680 and give me

00:27:54.100 another look,

00:27:55.240 graphic artist

00:27:55.820 comes back and

00:27:56.640 now the Biden

00:27:57.220 is 30% the

00:27:58.900 size of the

00:27:59.660 big Harris

00:28:00.620 image and the

00:28:01.960 editor is like,

00:28:03.180 ah, could you

00:28:05.640 just give me

00:28:07.760 one more look,

00:28:09.480 I just want to

00:28:10.300 have something to

00:28:10.960 compare, you

00:28:12.220 know, one with

00:28:12.880 just a little bit

00:28:13.700 smaller, could you

00:28:14.380 make it, could you

00:28:16.020 make the Biden

00:28:16.680 10% the size and

00:28:19.160 could you hide

00:28:20.440 most of the

00:28:21.440 Biden, most of

00:28:22.760 the body part

00:28:23.680 behind the much

00:28:25.500 larger Kamala

00:28:27.080 Harris picture

00:28:28.720 and then the

00:28:29.940 graphic artist

00:28:30.660 looks at, looks

00:28:31.640 at the editor

00:28:32.240 and says,

00:28:33.940 ah, sure,

00:28:35.280 sure, sure, I'll

00:28:36.020 do that and

00:28:37.020 then as they're

00:28:37.600 walking down the

00:28:38.340 hallway you see

00:28:39.080 the graphic artist

00:28:40.400 muttering,

00:28:41.540 fucking idiot,

00:28:42.480 now, if that

00:28:46.340 were a movie

00:28:46.980 because you

00:28:48.200 know something

00:28:49.020 somewhat like

00:28:50.260 that actually

00:28:50.960 happened, you

00:28:52.480 know that those

00:28:54.000 pictures you saw

00:28:54.860 with tiny Biden

00:28:55.900 and gigantic

00:28:57.220 Kamala Harris,

00:28:58.760 it wasn't the

00:28:59.620 graphic artist who

00:29:00.720 came up with

00:29:01.400 that, all right,

00:29:03.000 no graphic artist

00:29:04.460 brought that image

00:29:06.200 to their boss,

00:29:07.920 nobody's that bad

00:29:09.340 at being a graphic

00:29:10.580 artist, I'll tell

00:29:12.200 you what happened,

00:29:12.940 they brought him

00:29:13.480 a picture where

00:29:14.120 they were balanced

00:29:14.920 and the editor

00:29:15.960 said, go back to

00:29:16.880 the drawing board,

00:29:18.000 that Biden, we

00:29:18.860 can still see it,

00:29:20.360 we can still see

00:29:21.320 a little Biden

00:29:21.960 in that picture,

00:29:23.200 a little less

00:29:23.840 Biden, all right,

00:29:25.320 you know that

00:29:26.020 happened, right,

00:29:27.060 you don't have to

00:29:27.600 be some mind

00:29:28.680 reader to know

00:29:29.720 it went down

00:29:30.360 just like that

00:29:31.600 because no

00:29:32.380 graphic artist

00:29:33.280 brings tiny

00:29:34.680 Biden, giant

00:29:35.580 Kamala to the

00:29:36.640 boss and says,

00:29:37.380 how about this,

00:29:38.280 that's not draft

00:29:39.340 number one,

00:29:40.540 you know it,

00:29:41.160 right, that's

00:29:42.120 not first draft,

00:29:44.820 all right,

00:29:46.400 the, I feel

00:29:50.000 like Republicans

00:29:51.120 are totally

00:29:51.960 falling into a

00:29:53.060 trap, I think

00:29:54.480 President Trump

00:29:55.380 has fallen into

00:29:56.260 this trap

00:29:56.860 already and

00:29:58.580 certainly all the

00:29:59.500 supporters and

00:30:00.360 here's the trap,

00:30:01.380 if you're attacking

00:30:02.620 Harris for her

00:30:03.960 presumed sexual

00:30:06.360 whatever past and

00:30:07.800 the Willie Brown

00:30:08.520 stuff and ha ha

00:30:10.200 ha, she slept

00:30:11.140 away at the

00:30:11.640 top, first of

00:30:12.980 all, you're not

00:30:13.480 a good person,

00:30:14.780 all right,

00:30:17.100 it's a subjective

00:30:19.680 thing, but in

00:30:22.460 my opinion,

00:30:24.720 you're not really

00:30:25.800 a good person

00:30:26.560 if you're going

00:30:27.380 to that argument

00:30:28.860 because there's

00:30:30.000 enough of an

00:30:30.720 argument without

00:30:31.460 that and you

00:30:32.980 wouldn't want it

00:30:33.580 to be about you,

00:30:34.580 right, I mean if

00:30:35.480 you reverse that,

00:30:36.900 would you want to

00:30:37.460 be running for

00:30:38.040 office and all

00:30:38.740 they want to

00:30:39.120 talk about is

00:30:39.620 your sexual past?

00:30:41.440 No, no, it

00:30:43.120 wouldn't be fair,

00:30:43.940 you wouldn't want

00:30:44.420 it to happen to

00:30:44.960 your daughter, you

00:30:45.900 wouldn't want it

00:30:46.320 to happen to

00:30:46.600 your mother, you

00:30:47.780 wouldn't want it

00:30:48.260 to happen to

00:30:48.660 your wife, your

00:30:49.940 spouse, you

00:30:51.080 wouldn't want it

00:30:51.600 to fucking happen

00:30:52.240 to anybody, so

00:30:53.920 if you're doing

00:30:54.920 it, you know, if

00:30:56.120 you're part of

00:30:56.660 that, ha ha ha,

00:30:58.700 it's funny, okay,

00:31:00.420 I get it, you

00:31:01.360 know, it's funny

00:31:01.920 for about a minute,

00:31:03.300 but really, it

00:31:04.860 would be really

00:31:05.460 helpful to get

00:31:06.160 off of that

00:31:06.660 quickly, because

00:31:08.140 it just is too

00:31:08.900 easy for the

00:31:09.680 Democrats, and

00:31:12.500 they're already

00:31:12.980 doing it, to

00:31:13.600 say, well, it

00:31:14.700 looks like it's

00:31:15.220 misogyny all the

00:31:16.280 way around, all

00:31:17.060 the Republicans

00:31:17.580 are misogynists,

00:31:18.940 looks like that

00:31:19.560 president's being

00:31:20.320 misogynist, because

00:31:21.220 the way he talks

00:31:22.120 about Harris is

00:31:22.860 not the way he

00:31:23.500 talks about men,

00:31:24.760 which you could

00:31:25.960 argue, but the

00:31:27.260 president does like

00:31:28.200 to use this word

00:31:29.240 nasty, nasty.

00:31:32.680 nasty.

00:31:33.800 Now, here's

00:31:35.080 where he's

00:31:35.740 clever, but

00:31:37.840 maybe a little

00:31:38.680 too clever in

00:31:39.720 this case.

00:31:41.300 The president

00:31:42.240 is superb at

00:31:45.080 using imagery

00:31:46.320 and words and

00:31:47.300 stuff that set

00:31:49.140 your brain on

00:31:49.840 fire, but if

00:31:51.320 you looked at

00:31:51.920 it specifically,

00:31:52.760 there's nothing

00:31:53.160 wrong with it.

00:31:54.980 The word nasty

00:31:56.280 was not invented

00:31:57.920 as a gender

00:31:58.800 specific insult.

00:31:59.920 You know, there's

00:32:01.300 nobody who can't

00:32:02.180 be nasty.

00:32:03.020 You could be

00:32:03.540 male, female.

00:32:05.060 You know, there's

00:32:05.720 no gender

00:32:06.320 assumption in

00:32:07.480 nasty, but the

00:32:08.980 Democrats have

00:32:09.640 decided that there

00:32:10.500 is.

00:32:11.600 Now, it could be

00:32:12.460 that there's not,

00:32:13.980 there's no history

00:32:15.020 of Trump using

00:32:15.980 that word against

00:32:16.760 men.

00:32:17.300 I don't know.

00:32:18.240 Maybe yes, maybe

00:32:19.020 no, but it feels

00:32:20.720 like it's being

00:32:22.460 used because she's

00:32:23.420 a woman.

00:32:24.520 But it's a

00:32:25.320 really, it's a

00:32:26.440 really good word

00:32:27.220 because nasty is

00:32:28.980 one of those

00:32:29.420 words, like

00:32:30.200 dark, that you

00:32:32.180 can read into

00:32:32.900 it whatever you

00:32:33.520 wanted to put

00:32:34.140 into it.

00:32:35.220 You know, dark,

00:32:36.200 well, what's

00:32:36.660 dark?

00:32:37.100 Well, his

00:32:37.480 attitude, the

00:32:38.380 way he talks,

00:32:39.240 the policies,

00:32:40.120 everything fits

00:32:41.260 into dark, but

00:32:42.620 likewise, there's

00:32:43.380 a lot of stuff

00:32:44.120 that fits into

00:32:44.740 nasty.

00:32:45.940 So, in terms of

00:32:47.020 persuasion, it's a

00:32:48.040 really good word.

00:32:49.640 It's a really good

00:32:50.500 word, but the

00:32:52.260 counter to it is

00:32:53.580 a little bit

00:32:54.060 better, which is,

00:32:55.040 hey, you wouldn't

00:32:55.580 use that word with

00:32:56.360 a man, which is a

00:32:58.020 pretty good counter.

00:32:58.980 if you're already

00:33:00.340 primed to believe

00:33:01.500 there's some

00:33:01.880 misogyny going

00:33:02.600 on.

00:33:04.320 So, I would

00:33:05.160 advise all of

00:33:09.320 you to just

00:33:12.020 let that go.

00:33:13.480 First of all, to

00:33:14.460 be good people.

00:33:16.220 You don't want to

00:33:17.200 stump, you don't

00:33:18.960 want to lower

00:33:20.700 yourself to your

00:33:22.260 enemy's level.

00:33:23.420 That's, you know,

00:33:24.320 I can see sometimes

00:33:25.280 that might make

00:33:25.900 sense, but I

00:33:26.920 don't think you

00:33:27.360 buy, you're not

00:33:28.200 buying anything

00:33:28.840 by doing it.

00:33:29.840 If you had

00:33:30.360 something to

00:33:30.860 gain by doing

00:33:31.560 it, well, maybe,

00:33:32.900 but there's

00:33:34.140 just nothing to

00:33:34.840 gain on this.

00:33:37.700 The Democrats

00:33:38.940 are trying to

00:33:39.980 figure out how

00:33:40.940 best to protect

00:33:42.320 Harris and

00:33:43.480 Biden, and I

00:33:44.600 don't think they've

00:33:45.200 decided yet if

00:33:46.180 calling her a

00:33:47.020 pragmatic moderate,

00:33:48.860 I think that's the

00:33:50.160 way they're going

00:33:50.580 to go.

00:33:51.260 They're going to

00:33:51.620 try to sell

00:33:52.280 Harris as a

00:33:53.240 pragmatic moderate,

00:33:54.960 moderate, but

00:33:56.340 the right is

00:33:58.940 selling her as

00:33:59.980 a wild leftist

00:34:02.520 with the most

00:34:03.320 progressive ideas,

00:34:05.340 et cetera.

00:34:06.280 Which one of

00:34:07.180 those is true?

00:34:09.240 Is it true that

00:34:11.220 Harris is a

00:34:12.160 pragmatic moderate,

00:34:13.920 or is it true that

00:34:15.660 she is a wild

00:34:16.780 lefty?

00:34:18.380 What do you

00:34:18.980 think?

00:34:20.100 What is your

00:34:21.000 honest opinion?

00:34:21.740 If you were to

00:34:22.400 take the politics

00:34:23.980 out, forget which

00:34:25.140 team you're on for

00:34:26.020 a moment, and

00:34:27.080 you're just saying,

00:34:27.680 all right, all right,

00:34:28.220 I'll be as

00:34:28.580 objective as

00:34:29.200 possible, imagine

00:34:30.600 it from 30,000

00:34:31.580 feet, I'm an

00:34:32.900 alien, I just

00:34:33.720 came to Earth, I

00:34:34.580 don't have any

00:34:35.160 biases or

00:34:36.020 opinions, I'm

00:34:37.080 just going to

00:34:37.600 look at what

00:34:38.100 she says and

00:34:38.860 does.

00:34:40.300 Does Harris

00:34:40.860 look like a

00:34:41.480 pragmatic moderate,

00:34:43.080 or a wild

00:34:44.540 lefty?

00:34:47.500 Pragmatic moderate,

00:34:49.420 in my opinion.

00:34:50.140 And when I

00:34:51.360 mean pragmatic, I

00:34:52.420 mean she'll take

00:34:53.000 whatever position

00:34:53.940 she thinks will

00:34:55.140 get her elected.

00:34:56.580 So you can't get

00:34:57.700 more pragmatic

00:34:58.460 than that.

00:34:59.640 In my opinion, she

00:35:00.780 has no commitment

00:35:01.640 whatsoever to the

00:35:02.800 far left.

00:35:04.220 She has a

00:35:05.460 commitment to

00:35:06.400 ambition, she

00:35:08.480 has a commitment

00:35:09.060 to winning, she

00:35:10.700 has a commitment

00:35:11.260 to herself, she

00:35:13.520 may have some

00:35:14.240 good feelings

00:35:15.220 about the

00:35:15.600 country too, I

00:35:16.440 don't know, can't

00:35:17.680 read her mind.

00:35:18.260 But, you

00:35:21.880 know, the

00:35:22.180 attack that she

00:35:23.340 is a wild

00:35:24.400 lefty, it

00:35:25.420 probably works on

00:35:26.480 the right, in

00:35:27.220 other words,

00:35:27.700 Republicans are

00:35:28.500 certainly, they're

00:35:29.340 primed to believe

00:35:30.040 that, and

00:35:30.880 anything that she

00:35:31.620 wants to do that

00:35:32.460 Republicans don't

00:35:33.400 want to do will

00:35:34.840 feel like it's too

00:35:35.620 far left.

00:35:36.340 So I think that

00:35:37.360 framing works for

00:35:38.760 the Republicans,

00:35:39.820 and I think the,

00:35:41.620 but here's the

00:35:42.540 question, the

00:35:44.060 Democrats, the

00:35:46.540 Democrats are

00:35:47.160 trying to frame

00:35:47.820 her in a way

00:35:48.340 that can get

00:35:49.200 her elected.

00:35:50.780 If you are

00:35:51.680 part of the

00:35:52.280 Bernie Sanders

00:35:53.120 crowd, do you

00:35:54.680 want to hear

00:35:55.060 that she's a

00:35:55.660 pragmatic

00:35:56.200 moderate?

00:35:58.220 Because I've

00:35:58.920 got a feeling

00:35:59.700 that the

00:36:01.540 Bernie people

00:36:02.640 are just

00:36:03.240 going to

00:36:03.700 stay home.

00:36:06.200 I don't know

00:36:06.720 that they'll

00:36:07.000 vote for

00:36:07.440 Trump, but I

00:36:08.200 don't think

00:36:08.500 they're going

00:36:08.780 to come out

00:36:09.260 and vote for

00:36:10.220 the pragmatic

00:36:10.900 moderate, because

00:36:11.980 that's exactly

00:36:12.560 what they didn't

00:36:13.160 want.

00:36:14.000 That's as close

00:36:14.760 to what they

00:36:15.260 didn't want as

00:36:15.860 anything could be.

00:36:17.260 Now, will

00:36:17.660 they say,

00:36:18.820 yeah, but

00:36:19.520 it's better

00:36:20.700 than Trump?

00:36:22.620 They might,

00:36:24.520 but how

00:36:25.300 enthusiastic

00:36:26.280 are you for,

00:36:28.280 yeah, I

00:36:28.740 fought really

00:36:29.220 hard for

00:36:29.680 Bernie and

00:36:30.300 these really

00:36:31.320 leftist

00:36:31.880 policies, but

00:36:33.180 man, I'm

00:36:33.760 going to get

00:36:34.060 up early and

00:36:34.740 I'm going to

00:36:35.260 brave the

00:36:35.980 coronavirus or

00:36:37.200 I'm going to

00:36:37.640 fill out my

00:36:38.180 mail ballot or

00:36:38.880 whatever I'm

00:36:39.160 going to do

00:36:39.580 to get that

00:36:41.060 pragmatic

00:36:41.540 moderate in

00:36:42.520 there.

00:36:43.820 I don't

00:36:44.240 know.

00:36:44.420 it just

00:36:46.260 doesn't feel

00:36:47.060 inspiring to

00:36:47.800 me.

00:36:48.440 So I've

00:36:48.760 got a

00:36:49.000 feeling that's

00:36:49.500 going to

00:36:49.700 hurt them.

00:36:53.400 Here's a

00:36:54.400 wild card that

00:36:55.440 was suggested

00:36:56.240 to me.

00:36:57.300 I'm not

00:36:57.840 going to give

00:36:58.200 credit to

00:36:59.420 people who

00:37:00.100 send me

00:37:00.720 DMs and

00:37:01.580 don't.

00:37:02.540 If I use

00:37:03.560 your idea

00:37:04.060 that you

00:37:04.440 DMed to

00:37:05.060 me, just

00:37:06.400 take the

00:37:07.440 happiness that

00:37:08.360 the idea

00:37:08.860 made it

00:37:11.120 into the

00:37:11.660 periscope,

00:37:12.960 because if

00:37:13.560 I haven't

00:37:13.900 asked you

00:37:14.360 if I can

00:37:14.760 mention your

00:37:15.240 name, I

00:37:15.620 don't want

00:37:15.900 to do

00:37:16.100 it.

00:37:17.000 And I

00:37:18.200 usually forget

00:37:18.760 to ask

00:37:19.100 that question.

00:37:20.280 So here's

00:37:21.400 a thought

00:37:22.160 from, it's

00:37:22.920 not an

00:37:23.280 original

00:37:23.580 thought.

00:37:24.760 The idea

00:37:25.900 is that the

00:37:26.720 young women

00:37:27.540 who are

00:37:29.580 Democrats are

00:37:31.100 seeing Biden

00:37:31.920 as a creepy

00:37:32.700 old man with

00:37:33.460 a younger

00:37:33.820 woman.

00:37:35.840 And as

00:37:36.500 soon as I

00:37:36.900 heard that,

00:37:37.580 I thought

00:37:37.880 to myself,

00:37:39.120 oh,

00:37:39.900 snap.

00:37:41.120 think about

00:37:43.240 it.

00:37:43.940 Creepy

00:37:44.360 old man

00:37:45.020 with a

00:37:45.580 younger

00:37:45.840 woman.

00:37:46.960 Now, I

00:37:48.500 know what

00:37:48.780 you're thinking.

00:37:49.800 I know what

00:37:50.540 you're thinking.

00:37:50.980 You're saying,

00:37:51.720 Scott, that

00:37:52.840 might be a

00:37:53.280 topic you

00:37:53.720 know just

00:37:54.120 a little

00:37:54.400 bit about.

00:37:55.720 Okay, I

00:37:56.700 get it.

00:37:57.640 Yes, I

00:37:58.180 do have a

00:37:58.960 much younger

00:37:59.640 wife.

00:38:01.060 And I

00:38:01.740 can tell

00:38:02.140 you that

00:38:03.280 my experience,

00:38:04.920 no surprise,

00:38:06.160 is that there's

00:38:06.760 a segment of

00:38:07.380 the population

00:38:08.040 who really,

00:38:09.740 really hates

00:38:10.420 that.

00:38:11.120 I don't

00:38:11.880 know exactly

00:38:12.440 why.

00:38:13.320 You know,

00:38:13.520 you'd have

00:38:13.840 to open

00:38:14.720 up their

00:38:15.040 brains and

00:38:15.560 do a

00:38:15.780 brain scan

00:38:16.300 and figure

00:38:16.660 out what's

00:38:17.020 going on

00:38:17.400 there.

00:38:18.140 But there

00:38:18.880 is something

00:38:19.580 incredibly

00:38:20.400 triggering in

00:38:21.460 a bad way

00:38:22.160 when an

00:38:23.420 older man

00:38:24.180 and a

00:38:24.660 younger

00:38:24.920 woman are,

00:38:26.780 certainly if

00:38:27.440 they're married

00:38:28.160 or they're

00:38:28.840 together,

00:38:30.460 but even

00:38:31.360 though a

00:38:32.100 vice president

00:38:32.800 and a

00:38:33.320 president are

00:38:33.940 not in

00:38:34.380 any kind

00:38:34.840 of a

00:38:35.240 personal

00:38:36.280 relationship

00:38:37.000 of that

00:38:37.480 sort,

00:38:38.500 does it

00:38:39.400 feel like

00:38:39.900 it?

00:38:41.220 Kind of

00:38:41.820 feels like

00:38:42.360 it.

00:38:43.360 There's my

00:38:43.880 cat's tail

00:38:44.520 going by.

00:38:45.860 Oh,

00:38:46.120 perfect.

00:38:46.840 Yeah,

00:38:47.040 just leave it

00:38:47.540 right there.

00:38:48.480 Oh,

00:38:48.620 that works,

00:38:49.140 yeah.

00:38:51.660 If you're

00:38:52.320 listening to

00:38:52.740 this on

00:38:53.140 the audio

00:38:54.520 only,

00:38:55.400 my face

00:38:56.160 was temporarily

00:38:57.240 replaced by

00:38:58.080 a giant

00:38:58.480 cat tail.

00:39:00.200 All right,

00:39:00.880 so I've

00:39:01.780 got a feeling

00:39:02.320 that this

00:39:02.920 whole old

00:39:03.640 man,

00:39:04.160 creepy old

00:39:04.680 man with

00:39:05.320 younger

00:39:05.720 woman thing

00:39:07.180 is kind

00:39:07.800 of a

00:39:08.040 turn-off

00:39:08.500 for a

00:39:09.600 certain

00:39:09.860 number

00:39:10.360 of

00:39:10.740 Democrats.

00:39:14.400 And we'll

00:39:15.120 see if that

00:39:15.540 makes a

00:39:15.880 difference.

00:39:16.420 I think

00:39:16.840 it might.

00:39:18.420 All right.

00:39:20.020 Have you

00:39:20.700 noticed that

00:39:21.300 President Trump,

00:39:22.820 when he gives

00:39:23.800 his briefings

00:39:24.460 about the

00:39:24.920 coronavirus,

00:39:26.020 have you

00:39:26.260 noticed that

00:39:26.760 he started

00:39:27.720 to put the

00:39:28.900 United States

00:39:29.620 progress in

00:39:30.480 the context

00:39:31.120 of how

00:39:32.540 we're doing

00:39:32.980 compared to

00:39:33.620 Europe?

00:39:34.560 Have you

00:39:35.180 heard that?

00:39:35.620 Now,

00:39:36.680 I'm assuming

00:39:37.400 that the

00:39:37.900 numbers he's

00:39:38.580 talking about

00:39:39.240 in terms of

00:39:39.880 Europe's

00:39:40.380 experience

00:39:41.060 versus the

00:39:41.660 United States

00:39:42.240 are in

00:39:44.380 the ballpark,

00:39:45.220 meaning that

00:39:45.920 if you compare

00:39:47.000 Europe as a

00:39:47.900 whole,

00:39:48.540 not country

00:39:49.260 to country,

00:39:49.880 but compare

00:39:50.500 them as a

00:39:51.000 whole,

00:39:51.940 the President

00:39:52.540 is making

00:39:53.000 the point

00:39:53.400 that they're

00:39:53.820 having a

00:39:54.820 renewed

00:39:55.300 problem,

00:39:56.160 there's some

00:39:57.200 kind of

00:39:57.560 second wave

00:39:58.160 situation

00:39:58.700 happening,

00:39:59.560 and that

00:40:00.240 we're actually

00:40:00.780 doing well

00:40:01.500 compared to

00:40:02.500 Europe.

00:40:04.040 I haven't

00:40:04.940 seen the

00:40:05.320 fact-checkers

00:40:06.020 disagree with

00:40:07.180 that,

00:40:08.380 and I

00:40:08.680 imagine they

00:40:09.140 would,

00:40:09.520 right?

00:40:09.800 That would

00:40:10.120 be at the

00:40:10.760 top of the

00:40:11.240 things they

00:40:11.580 would disagree

00:40:12.060 with if it

00:40:12.600 were not

00:40:12.920 true,

00:40:13.480 and I've

00:40:14.620 given up on

00:40:15.240 trying to

00:40:15.620 look at

00:40:15.940 data.

00:40:16.980 Anytime you

00:40:17.660 try to

00:40:18.160 Google,

00:40:19.040 well,

00:40:19.320 is that

00:40:19.580 true?

00:40:20.060 Let me

00:40:20.300 Google whether

00:40:21.720 Europe is

00:40:22.280 doing better

00:40:22.720 or worse

00:40:23.120 than the

00:40:23.300 United States.

00:40:24.220 You can

00:40:24.680 find information,

00:40:26.140 but you

00:40:26.480 can't find

00:40:26.940 anything you

00:40:27.460 trust,

00:40:28.500 at least if

00:40:29.220 you're me.

00:40:30.020 So you'll

00:40:30.440 find competing

00:40:31.180 information,

00:40:32.220 you'll find

00:40:32.840 stuff that's a

00:40:33.460 month old,

00:40:34.400 you'll find

00:40:34.820 stuff about

00:40:35.400 one country,

00:40:36.520 you'll find

00:40:37.100 stuff that

00:40:37.600 measures things

00:40:38.400 a different

00:40:38.800 way in the

00:40:39.320 United States,

00:40:40.560 but it's not

00:40:41.220 really, I

00:40:43.820 won't say it's

00:40:44.400 impossible, but

00:40:45.360 it's nearly

00:40:45.820 impossible to

00:40:47.120 go research

00:40:48.040 anything yourself

00:40:48.940 because there's

00:40:50.020 just too much

00:40:50.440 noise out there

00:40:51.400 in the data.

00:40:52.800 So, anyway,

00:40:55.240 I think it's

00:40:57.560 smart of the

00:40:58.380 president to

00:40:59.000 compare himself

00:40:59.800 to these other

00:41:00.420 countries because

00:41:01.500 as I predicted

00:41:03.600 a while ago,

00:41:04.460 they were doing

00:41:05.000 well compared to

00:41:05.900 the United States

00:41:06.460 for a while,

00:41:07.720 but what

00:41:08.700 changed?

00:41:09.800 You knew it

00:41:10.620 was going to

00:41:10.980 change.

00:41:12.240 All right,

00:41:13.360 here's a

00:41:14.120 criticism of

00:41:15.940 the administration

00:41:16.780 for those of

00:41:18.920 you who say,

00:41:19.720 Scott,

00:41:20.020 Scott,

00:41:20.180 why do you

00:41:21.100 only say good

00:41:21.880 things about

00:41:22.480 the Trump

00:41:23.480 administration?

00:41:24.780 A, I don't.

00:41:26.780 I don't.

00:41:28.260 I have plenty

00:41:29.460 of criticisms.

00:41:30.900 I do talk

00:41:31.500 more about

00:41:31.940 what they do

00:41:33.020 right, and I

00:41:33.760 do defend them

00:41:34.440 more than I

00:41:35.100 criticize, but

00:41:36.620 that's because

00:41:37.140 the criticism

00:41:37.780 part is so

00:41:38.500 well taken care

00:41:39.380 of.

00:41:40.180 You don't need

00:41:40.880 another person

00:41:41.900 to point out

00:41:42.800 the same thing

00:41:44.120 that's all the

00:41:45.060 headlines.

00:41:45.880 You don't need

00:41:46.360 that from me.

00:41:47.780 So I like to

00:41:48.520 show you the

00:41:49.120 view that's,

00:41:49.780 you know,

00:41:50.200 less expressed.

00:41:51.820 And here's

00:41:52.260 my criticism.

00:41:53.920 There's,

00:41:54.740 I've talked

00:41:55.700 about this

00:41:56.120 before,

00:41:56.540 there's the

00:41:56.860 idea that we

00:41:57.680 already have

00:41:58.180 the technology

00:41:58.860 and it would

00:41:59.780 be easy to

00:42:00.360 ramp up for

00:42:01.520 these cheap

00:42:02.200 over-the-counter

00:42:03.080 paper strip

00:42:04.800 tests for

00:42:06.640 coronavirus.

00:42:07.820 Now,

00:42:08.200 apparently,

00:42:08.820 these are a

00:42:09.540 good test which

00:42:10.460 will tell you

00:42:10.980 if you currently

00:42:11.680 have the virus

00:42:12.540 versus used

00:42:14.180 to have the

00:42:14.600 virus and

00:42:15.160 only have

00:42:15.580 antibodies.

00:42:16.660 So that's

00:42:17.000 the first thing

00:42:17.540 you have to

00:42:17.860 understand,

00:42:18.740 that these

00:42:19.200 cheap could

00:42:20.220 be even

00:42:20.560 one dollar.

00:42:21.780 Cheap

00:42:22.000 little tests

00:42:22.660 will tell

00:42:25.080 you if you

00:42:25.460 have it as

00:42:26.720 opposed to

00:42:27.380 will tell

00:42:27.860 you if you

00:42:28.440 used to

00:42:28.820 have it.

00:42:29.660 So that's

00:42:30.000 the first

00:42:30.360 advantage.

00:42:31.140 Second

00:42:31.480 advantage is

00:42:32.100 you get

00:42:32.400 your answer

00:42:32.860 in a few

00:42:33.440 minutes,

00:42:34.380 meaning that

00:42:34.940 you could do

00:42:35.500 it every day.

00:42:36.680 You could

00:42:37.040 test yourself

00:42:37.600 before you

00:42:38.040 left the

00:42:38.380 house.

00:42:38.760 You could

00:42:39.000 test yourself

00:42:39.640 in the

00:42:40.740 lobby of

00:42:41.340 your employer.

00:42:43.340 You could

00:42:43.740 test yourself

00:42:44.380 before you

00:42:44.880 go to the

00:42:45.200 sporting event.

00:42:45.840 So if it

00:42:46.560 only costs

00:42:46.960 a dollar

00:42:47.400 and you

00:42:48.280 get your

00:42:48.720 answer really

00:42:49.960 quickly,

00:42:51.400 that's pretty

00:42:52.000 darn good,

00:42:52.620 right?

00:42:52.960 I mean,

00:42:53.240 you could

00:42:53.580 imagine that

00:42:54.160 that would

00:42:54.460 lower the

00:42:55.060 R0 or

00:42:59.260 whatever they

00:42:59.600 call it.

00:43:00.340 It would

00:43:00.780 lower the

00:43:01.560 transmission

00:43:02.080 rate enough

00:43:03.300 that we'd

00:43:03.800 really get

00:43:04.160 on top of

00:43:04.640 this thing.

00:43:05.020 It wouldn't

00:43:05.260 make it go

00:43:05.720 away,

00:43:06.240 but we could

00:43:07.160 really get

00:43:07.540 on top of

00:43:08.060 it.

00:43:08.740 Now,

00:43:09.220 the critics

00:43:09.840 say,

00:43:10.720 but,

00:43:10.940 but,

00:43:11.180 but,

00:43:11.320 it doesn't

00:43:13.080 this type

00:43:14.040 of test

00:43:14.520 won't pick

00:43:15.280 up the

00:43:15.620 virus when

00:43:16.860 you're

00:43:17.100 asymptomatic

00:43:17.920 for like

00:43:18.380 a day,

00:43:19.140 that first

00:43:19.640 day,

00:43:20.420 to which I

00:43:21.280 say,

00:43:21.780 that's right.

00:43:22.780 It gets

00:43:23.500 all the

00:43:23.920 other times

00:43:24.640 when you're

00:43:25.680 the most

00:43:26.220 spready,

00:43:27.180 but it

00:43:27.660 will miss,

00:43:28.780 you know,

00:43:29.280 we know

00:43:29.640 this,

00:43:29.980 it doesn't

00:43:30.360 get that

00:43:30.780 first day

00:43:31.560 because you

00:43:32.220 don't have

00:43:32.520 enough,

00:43:32.880 I guess,

00:43:33.520 whatever,

00:43:34.520 to detect

00:43:35.580 it.

00:43:36.820 But,

00:43:37.320 it doesn't

00:43:37.740 matter.

00:43:38.160 If you

00:43:38.420 got 80%

00:43:39.500 of the,

00:43:40.740 if 80%

00:43:41.320 of the

00:43:41.960 time you

00:43:42.300 were right,

00:43:43.540 that would

00:43:43.940 be the

00:43:44.200 best thing

00:43:44.640 ever.

00:43:45.520 So if

00:43:45.760 you're

00:43:45.920 saying,

00:43:46.500 so the

00:43:46.900 first thing

00:43:47.360 you,

00:43:47.760 yeah,

00:43:48.100 R-naught,

00:43:48.700 sorry,

00:43:49.080 that's what

00:43:49.400 it's called,

00:43:49.800 the R,

00:43:50.660 instead of

00:43:51.140 R-zero,

00:43:51.860 R-naught,

00:43:52.520 let's be,

00:43:52.940 let's be

00:43:53.300 scientific

00:43:53.700 about it.

00:43:54.860 So the

00:43:55.500 first thing

00:43:55.860 you need

00:43:56.100 to know

00:43:56.420 is that

00:43:56.780 these paper

00:43:57.360 strips

00:43:57.800 could be

00:43:58.920 only 80%

00:44:00.420 getting it

00:44:02.540 right,

00:44:03.520 the 20%

00:44:04.340 is wrong

00:44:05.000 is because

00:44:05.680 it's just

00:44:06.560 too early.

00:44:08.200 If you

00:44:08.880 could create

00:44:09.420 a test

00:44:09.860 that could

00:44:10.240 do that

00:44:10.860 for one

00:44:11.460 dollar,

00:44:12.340 widely

00:44:12.860 available

00:44:13.340 and immediate

00:44:13.980 response,

00:44:15.060 it doesn't

00:44:15.900 matter that

00:44:17.360 you only

00:44:17.740 get 80%

00:44:18.500 of it.

00:44:19.380 It doesn't

00:44:19.920 matter.

00:44:20.700 That is so

00:44:21.500 good that

00:44:23.000 if you're doing

00:44:23.500 this much

00:44:24.000 testing,

00:44:24.640 you would just

00:44:25.280 stamp out the

00:44:25.940 virus probably

00:44:26.600 in a couple

00:44:26.980 weeks,

00:44:28.120 you know,

00:44:28.440 if it were

00:44:29.340 ubiquitous.

00:44:30.260 so here's

00:44:32.540 my question.

00:44:33.800 So this

00:44:34.260 idea,

00:44:35.540 I can tell

00:44:36.860 you from

00:44:37.280 personal

00:44:37.940 knowledge,

00:44:39.180 has been

00:44:39.940 promoted up

00:44:41.440 through the

00:44:42.400 administration.

00:44:43.460 So the

00:44:43.840 administration is

00:44:44.760 completely aware

00:44:45.820 of this

00:44:46.360 option.

00:44:47.680 There's some

00:44:48.260 kind of

00:44:48.640 FDA thing

00:44:50.580 that makes

00:44:51.180 it impractical

00:44:52.160 so private

00:44:53.240 industry can't

00:44:54.040 just go ahead

00:44:54.480 and do it.

00:44:55.640 So there are

00:44:56.160 private companies

00:44:56.940 who could just

00:44:57.980 ramp up and

00:44:58.540 do this.

00:44:59.160 They have the

00:44:59.560 technology,

00:45:00.620 ramping up

00:45:01.300 isn't that

00:45:01.720 hard,

00:45:02.080 it's paper

00:45:02.460 strips.

00:45:03.540 Oh,

00:45:03.780 and if you're

00:45:04.220 worried about

00:45:04.720 privacy,

00:45:05.960 this is a

00:45:06.500 test you give

00:45:07.020 yourself,

00:45:08.560 unless you're

00:45:09.440 trying to get

00:45:09.900 into an event,

00:45:11.340 and then of

00:45:11.800 course,

00:45:12.360 that would be

00:45:12.960 different.

00:45:13.740 But it's a

00:45:14.240 test you give

00:45:14.800 yourself,

00:45:15.420 so nobody

00:45:16.480 has to know

00:45:17.160 what your

00:45:17.580 result is unless

00:45:18.360 you tell them.

00:45:21.800 So the

00:45:22.420 administration

00:45:22.820 knows about

00:45:23.640 this option,

00:45:24.560 and we have

00:45:25.260 heard nothing

00:45:26.560 about whether

00:45:27.240 they like it,

00:45:28.580 and nothing

00:45:29.140 about whether

00:45:29.820 they don't,

00:45:31.160 and nothing

00:45:31.660 about what

00:45:32.200 they may or

00:45:32.760 may not do

00:45:33.360 about it.

00:45:34.520 Now, I'm

00:45:35.640 not going to

00:45:36.120 say that I

00:45:37.280 know this is

00:45:38.260 the great

00:45:38.900 answer, and

00:45:39.680 that I've

00:45:40.220 considered

00:45:40.980 everything, and

00:45:41.920 I know all

00:45:42.500 the context,

00:45:43.600 and I know

00:45:44.100 what's good or

00:45:44.700 bad about this.

00:45:45.340 I don't.

00:45:46.260 I'm just saying

00:45:47.120 that our

00:45:47.560 administration is

00:45:48.620 failing us at

00:45:49.680 the moment on

00:45:50.460 this question,

00:45:51.540 because we don't

00:45:52.180 have an answer.

00:45:53.240 At the very

00:45:54.080 least, I need

00:45:55.600 somebody like

00:45:56.840 the president,

00:45:57.920 or ideally

00:45:58.940 more like the

00:46:00.060 head of the

00:46:00.460 FDA.

00:46:01.220 I want somebody

00:46:02.000 who's probably

00:46:03.440 the head of

00:46:03.760 the FDA to

00:46:05.000 say this test

00:46:06.020 exists, or it

00:46:07.660 could exist, you

00:46:08.680 could ramp up,

00:46:09.800 and then tell us

00:46:10.560 why it's not

00:46:11.340 already a thing.

00:46:13.200 If you're working

00:46:14.120 on it, please

00:46:15.160 tell us.

00:46:16.240 If it's going to

00:46:16.920 happen in a week,

00:46:17.860 there's going to

00:46:18.400 be some change

00:46:19.060 to make this

00:46:19.540 possible, please

00:46:20.720 tell us.

00:46:21.160 That would be the

00:46:21.740 biggest fucking

00:46:22.440 thing you could

00:46:23.000 tell us.

00:46:23.460 If you're not

00:46:25.320 going to do

00:46:25.980 it, and there's

00:46:26.980 a reason, fucking

00:46:29.660 tell us.

00:46:30.840 I just want to

00:46:31.660 know the reason.

00:46:32.540 I don't need it

00:46:33.480 to be right.

00:46:34.820 I don't need it

00:46:35.680 to be the solution

00:46:36.500 if it's not.

00:46:37.880 I don't want you

00:46:38.540 to lie to me.

00:46:39.880 I just need to

00:46:40.540 know where we're

00:46:41.080 at.

00:46:41.840 And so there's

00:46:42.360 this big black

00:46:43.220 hole where this

00:46:44.520 is, according to

00:46:46.280 the people who

00:46:46.920 have looked at

00:46:47.480 it, the most

00:46:49.060 obvious, ramp-up-able,

00:46:51.580 practical, completely

00:46:54.280 doable solution

00:46:55.440 that would make

00:46:56.540 this whole fucking

00:46:57.640 pandemic go away

00:46:59.120 if it's real.

00:47:01.420 But what if it's

00:47:02.300 not real?

00:47:03.060 I need to fucking

00:47:04.120 know that, too.

00:47:05.580 We need to know

00:47:06.540 if it's not real.

00:47:08.580 Just tell us where

00:47:09.760 you're at, FDA.

00:47:11.720 All right?

00:47:12.220 Because without

00:47:14.580 that feedback,

00:47:16.220 again, the FDA

00:47:17.240 might be completely

00:47:18.080 right.

00:47:19.320 All right?

00:47:19.500 So I'm not

00:47:20.020 ruling out the

00:47:20.740 option that the

00:47:22.160 FDA has looked

00:47:23.040 at it and judged

00:47:24.460 that it's a bad

00:47:25.340 option.

00:47:25.960 They have their

00:47:26.760 reasons, and it

00:47:28.180 hasn't been

00:47:28.660 communicated.

00:47:30.260 Failure.

00:47:31.560 That is a failure

00:47:32.680 because you've got

00:47:33.860 to fucking

00:47:34.300 communicate it.

00:47:35.840 All right?

00:47:36.240 We're all in this.

00:47:37.520 Like, if you think

00:47:38.160 the public is not

00:47:39.800 fully engaged in

00:47:41.140 this fucking

00:47:41.660 pandemic, think

00:47:43.220 again.

00:47:44.160 All right?

00:47:44.560 FDA, you're not

00:47:45.440 like operating in

00:47:46.980 some little satellite

00:47:47.840 out there.

00:47:48.340 you're fucking

00:47:49.400 connected to the

00:47:50.220 public, and we

00:47:51.440 need just an

00:47:52.700 answer.

00:47:53.640 Just fucking

00:47:54.400 tell us.

00:47:54.940 Is this a thing

00:47:56.320 or is it not a

00:47:57.020 thing?

00:47:57.760 Just inform us.

00:48:00.120 All right.

00:48:04.480 I guess that's

00:48:07.760 just about what I

00:48:08.620 wanted to cover

00:48:09.220 today.

00:48:09.640 if the paper

00:48:15.720 test is...

00:48:16.920 Now, somebody's

00:48:17.980 saying reliable

00:48:18.920 for the paper

00:48:20.080 test.

00:48:20.820 I'd like to get

00:48:21.720 the language

00:48:22.940 correct because I've

00:48:24.180 been corrected on

00:48:25.140 it, and I think

00:48:25.680 it's helpful.

00:48:26.640 When you're talking

00:48:27.320 about the test,

00:48:28.280 don't think of it

00:48:29.440 in terms of

00:48:30.280 accurate or not

00:48:32.380 accurate, or

00:48:33.320 reliable or not

00:48:34.420 reliable.

00:48:35.240 It's very reliable

00:48:36.700 for the thing it

00:48:37.400 does.

00:48:37.800 So for the

00:48:39.380 thing it does,

00:48:40.020 it's really

00:48:40.380 good.

00:48:41.820 The thing it

00:48:42.400 does is pick up

00:48:43.200 a virus after

00:48:44.500 that first day

00:48:45.320 or so.

00:48:46.160 What it doesn't

00:48:47.140 do is it's not

00:48:48.060 designed that it

00:48:49.380 could pick up

00:48:49.880 that first day,

00:48:50.820 but you don't

00:48:51.800 need it to

00:48:53.300 solve the

00:48:53.700 problem.

00:48:54.300 You could miss

00:48:55.420 that first day

00:48:56.160 every time.

00:48:57.540 That's the

00:48:58.020 proposition.

00:48:58.740 You would miss

00:48:59.400 it every time,

00:49:00.560 but you would

00:49:01.380 get the other

00:49:01.860 stuff really,

00:49:03.340 really well,

00:49:04.240 and that would

00:49:04.720 be all you

00:49:05.340 need.

00:49:05.560 All right.

00:49:09.700 Yeah, we

00:49:10.280 talked about

00:49:10.760 my neighbor.

00:49:11.440 You missed

00:49:11.700 that part.

00:49:14.600 So here's

00:49:15.360 something amazing.

00:49:17.120 So every

00:49:17.700 time I see

00:49:18.380 Alex Berenson

00:49:19.980 tweet about

00:49:22.140 masks being

00:49:24.420 unproven,

00:49:25.380 it's making

00:49:26.220 me crazy

00:49:26.860 because I

00:49:28.380 think to

00:49:28.700 myself,

00:49:30.220 how do we

00:49:31.500 not know,

00:49:32.360 and I tweeted

00:49:32.920 this yesterday,

00:49:33.580 how do we

00:49:34.720 not know

00:49:35.420 now whether

00:49:37.280 masks help?

00:49:39.060 And I thought

00:49:39.680 to myself,

00:49:40.200 this is just

00:49:40.660 crazy.

00:49:41.600 This Berenson

00:49:42.700 guy keeps

00:49:43.300 tweeting to

00:49:43.900 the effect

00:49:45.580 that we

00:49:45.900 don't have

00:49:46.300 any information

00:49:46.920 that masks

00:49:47.540 work,

00:49:48.500 and I'm

00:49:49.080 thinking,

00:49:49.600 that can't

00:49:50.260 be possible.

00:49:52.080 I mean,

00:49:52.420 certainly it

00:49:52.940 was possible

00:49:53.440 in the

00:49:53.820 beginning,

00:49:54.740 but five

00:49:55.400 months in,

00:49:56.760 we don't

00:49:57.280 know for

00:49:57.960 sure,

00:49:58.520 and here's

00:49:58.940 what's going

00:49:59.400 on,

00:50:00.120 I think.

00:50:00.640 the first

00:50:02.160 thing that

00:50:02.460 I think

00:50:02.740 is going

00:50:03.100 on is

00:50:03.720 that people

00:50:04.220 are looking

00:50:04.600 at these

00:50:05.000 various lab

00:50:05.960 studies.

00:50:06.980 The lab

00:50:07.840 studies are

00:50:08.540 all fucking

00:50:09.360 bullshit.

00:50:10.700 All of

00:50:11.120 them.

00:50:11.880 100% of

00:50:12.680 them are

00:50:13.200 bullshit.

00:50:14.780 So if you

00:50:15.700 saw a study

00:50:16.340 that said

00:50:16.920 that these

00:50:18.000 masks stop

00:50:18.980 these water

00:50:20.960 particles or

00:50:21.720 whatever,

00:50:22.680 and so

00:50:23.020 therefore masks

00:50:23.860 are good,

00:50:24.880 that study

00:50:26.160 is bullshit.

00:50:27.580 If you saw

00:50:28.300 the opposite,

00:50:29.680 that there

00:50:30.020 was a study

00:50:30.600 that said

00:50:31.160 that the

00:50:32.120 particles get

00:50:32.980 through or

00:50:33.660 it makes it

00:50:34.120 even worse

00:50:34.660 or they're

00:50:35.020 getting out

00:50:35.380 through the

00:50:35.740 edges or

00:50:36.280 something,

00:50:36.940 and in the

00:50:37.520 lab they

00:50:38.000 showed that

00:50:38.380 that's true,

00:50:39.520 that study

00:50:40.300 is complete

00:50:41.640 bullshit.

00:50:43.020 So whether

00:50:43.920 or not the

00:50:44.700 lab study

00:50:45.860 showed it

00:50:46.960 works or

00:50:48.140 the lab

00:50:48.960 study showed

00:50:50.020 it doesn't

00:50:50.460 work,

00:50:51.280 they're all

00:50:51.980 bullshit.

00:50:52.920 None of

00:50:53.420 that should

00:50:53.800 be taken as

00:50:54.380 credible because

00:50:55.580 they don't

00:50:56.220 test it in

00:50:56.760 the real

00:50:57.040 world.

00:50:58.100 Basically,

00:50:58.700 they're just

00:50:58.980 saying some

00:51:00.140 droplets came

00:51:00.860 out or

00:51:01.220 some droplets

00:51:01.760 didn't or

00:51:02.400 we measured

00:51:02.880 this or

00:51:03.320 we measured

00:51:03.720 that.

00:51:04.660 But what

00:51:05.000 they don't

00:51:05.320 tell you is

00:51:06.680 that in

00:51:07.100 every case,

00:51:08.820 the covering

00:51:09.540 is going to

00:51:10.140 change at

00:51:10.640 least the

00:51:11.100 direction of

00:51:12.220 where stuff

00:51:12.680 is going.

00:51:13.580 At the

00:51:13.960 very least,

00:51:15.280 it's filtering

00:51:16.280 it to the

00:51:16.800 side or

00:51:17.420 whatever.

00:51:18.960 At the

00:51:19.460 very least,

00:51:20.200 it's changing

00:51:20.760 the viral

00:51:21.420 load.

00:51:22.500 I mean,

00:51:22.700 even if all

00:51:23.280 it did was

00:51:23.840 distribute it

00:51:25.780 as opposed to

00:51:26.560 send it

00:51:27.060 directly into

00:51:27.760 the mouth and

00:51:28.600 eyes of

00:51:29.020 the person

00:51:29.340 you're

00:51:29.560 talking to,

00:51:30.520 if that's

00:51:30.940 all it

00:51:31.240 did,

00:51:32.260 it probably

00:51:32.860 would distribute

00:51:33.900 the load.

00:51:34.960 And none

00:51:35.240 of these

00:51:35.580 things are

00:51:35.980 tested in

00:51:36.580 the lab

00:51:36.940 tests.

00:51:37.820 The lab

00:51:38.620 tests are

00:51:39.620 all just

00:51:40.200 looking in

00:51:41.280 one window

00:51:42.160 of the

00:51:42.820 Taj Mahal.

00:51:44.200 That's it.

00:51:45.000 Every one

00:51:45.500 of them

00:51:45.740 looks in

00:51:46.120 one window

00:51:46.720 and they

00:51:47.440 go,

00:51:47.740 all right,

00:51:48.420 I guess I

00:51:49.100 know what

00:51:49.300 the Taj Mahal

00:51:49.940 is.

00:51:50.240 I'm looking

00:51:50.520 in one

00:51:51.600 window and

00:51:52.140 it looks

00:51:52.380 like the

00:51:52.740 Taj Mahal

00:51:53.360 is a

00:51:54.560 men's room.

00:51:55.580 It looks

00:51:56.480 like that's

00:51:56.900 a bathroom

00:51:57.440 in there.

00:51:58.740 If you're

00:51:59.160 only looking

00:51:59.500 through one

00:51:59.920 window,

00:52:00.260 you don't

00:52:00.480 know anything.

00:52:01.040 That's what

00:52:01.380 all the

00:52:01.880 lab tests

00:52:02.380 are.

00:52:02.900 The only

00:52:03.460 thing that

00:52:03.860 would convince

00:52:04.360 me is

00:52:06.000 real world

00:52:06.940 usage where

00:52:08.340 somehow you

00:52:09.300 could say

00:52:09.820 this group

00:52:11.040 is exactly

00:52:11.680 like this

00:52:12.260 other group.

00:52:13.400 That's the

00:52:13.940 hard part,

00:52:14.460 right?

00:52:15.360 Getting any

00:52:16.040 two comparable

00:52:16.680 groups and

00:52:17.320 say, well,

00:52:17.660 they use

00:52:18.100 masks and

00:52:19.220 look how

00:52:19.580 well it

00:52:19.920 did.

00:52:20.660 They didn't

00:52:21.140 use masks

00:52:21.740 and look

00:52:22.280 how well it

00:52:22.740 did.

00:52:23.240 Now the

00:52:23.540 next thing

00:52:24.040 that people

00:52:24.420 do is they'll

00:52:25.020 send me this

00:52:25.580 one country

00:52:26.280 or one

00:52:27.420 state.

00:52:27.920 They'll

00:52:28.060 say, look

00:52:29.000 at this

00:52:29.300 one state.

00:52:30.340 Here's where

00:52:30.920 they put the

00:52:31.420 masks.

00:52:32.520 Here's where

00:52:33.140 it didn't

00:52:33.480 work.

00:52:35.160 Do you

00:52:35.440 know what

00:52:35.660 is also

00:52:36.140 useless?

00:52:37.320 Sending

00:52:37.800 me one

00:52:38.340 state.

00:52:39.220 Every time

00:52:40.000 you see a

00:52:40.520 graph of

00:52:41.120 one state

00:52:42.160 or two

00:52:42.960 or three,

00:52:44.060 anything in

00:52:44.900 the small

00:52:45.200 numbers,

00:52:46.040 and it

00:52:46.520 says, here's

00:52:47.220 the masks,

00:52:48.100 this day is

00:52:48.840 when they

00:52:49.100 were mandatory,

00:52:50.220 and look,

00:52:51.640 infections still

00:52:52.420 went up.

00:52:52.780 you don't

00:52:53.780 understand how

00:52:54.720 to look at

00:52:55.220 data, because

00:52:56.360 all you've

00:52:57.040 seen is that

00:52:58.080 things are

00:52:59.240 getting worse.

00:53:00.340 You don't

00:53:00.800 know what

00:53:01.200 the masks

00:53:01.700 did.

00:53:02.740 If you

00:53:03.340 didn't have

00:53:03.840 masks, would

00:53:04.600 that curve

00:53:05.180 be even

00:53:05.760 worse?

00:53:06.740 That's the

00:53:07.440 question.

00:53:08.120 If you don't

00:53:08.700 know if it

00:53:09.280 would be even

00:53:10.040 worse without

00:53:11.400 the mask, you

00:53:12.560 don't know

00:53:12.840 anything.

00:53:14.060 You don't

00:53:14.420 know anything.

00:53:15.420 Here's what I

00:53:16.460 would find

00:53:16.920 convincing.

00:53:18.420 All of the

00:53:19.240 countries that

00:53:20.160 did masks,

00:53:21.580 somehow putting

00:53:22.800 them in a

00:53:23.600 bucket.

00:53:24.580 All the

00:53:25.000 states, all

00:53:25.740 the countries,

00:53:26.860 the mask

00:53:27.600 people, put

00:53:28.180 them in one

00:53:28.600 bucket and

00:53:29.200 all together,

00:53:30.420 so you're not

00:53:31.000 seeing just

00:53:31.600 the weirdities

00:53:32.740 of any one

00:53:33.620 country or

00:53:34.340 the weirdities

00:53:35.080 of any one

00:53:35.740 state.

00:53:36.740 Compare that

00:53:37.440 to all the

00:53:38.220 places that

00:53:38.860 didn't do

00:53:39.260 masks, and

00:53:40.960 just show me

00:53:41.680 the two

00:53:42.040 curves.

00:53:43.460 If you can

00:53:44.120 adjust them

00:53:44.840 by time, I

00:53:45.540 guess you'd

00:53:45.860 have to do

00:53:46.180 that, because

00:53:46.880 everybody's sort

00:53:47.480 of on their

00:53:47.820 own schedule

00:53:48.320 there.

00:53:49.040 So if you

00:53:49.560 could do

00:53:49.880 that, would

00:53:51.000 that whole

00:53:51.700 entire giant

00:53:52.600 basket of

00:53:53.300 people using

00:53:53.980 masks have

00:53:55.300 a noticeably

00:53:56.220 different curve

00:53:57.380 collectively than

00:53:59.960 all the ones

00:54:00.800 that didn't

00:54:01.120 use masks?

00:54:02.600 Or, yeah, I

00:54:04.300 guess that

00:54:04.800 would be the

00:54:05.140 best way.

00:54:05.820 Now, if you

00:54:06.180 show me that,

00:54:08.000 and they don't

00:54:08.560 look that much

00:54:09.180 different, well,

00:54:11.800 I would say

00:54:13.520 that would be

00:54:13.960 pretty convincing.

00:54:15.460 If you showed

00:54:16.260 me that, and

00:54:16.820 there is a

00:54:17.180 big difference,

00:54:17.780 I'd say,

00:54:19.580 okay, well,

00:54:20.460 there it is.

00:54:21.940 That's not a

00:54:23.480 controlled clinical

00:54:24.520 trial, but for

00:54:27.140 the same reason

00:54:27.880 that hydroxychloroquine,

00:54:29.660 you don't know if

00:54:30.320 it works.

00:54:31.900 I don't know.

00:54:33.460 I put it at 30%

00:54:34.620 chance that it's a

00:54:35.480 big deal.

00:54:36.740 But it's still

00:54:37.360 worth taking it

00:54:38.120 because the risk

00:54:38.840 is so low.

00:54:39.500 So if you

00:54:40.960 have a low

00:54:41.400 risk, and

00:54:43.620 yes, yes, I

00:54:44.480 know there are

00:54:46.080 people who can

00:54:46.680 have problems

00:54:47.180 with the

00:54:47.540 masks, I

00:54:48.700 know the

00:54:49.680 dentist has

00:54:50.420 the foul mouth

00:54:51.380 smell problem,

00:54:52.660 I know it

00:54:53.260 keeps the

00:54:53.680 bacteria close

00:54:54.640 to your face,

00:54:55.340 I know the

00:54:55.800 mask can get

00:54:56.600 infected, I

00:54:57.180 know you might

00:54:57.700 touch your

00:54:58.140 face, blah,

00:54:59.540 blah, blah,

00:54:59.940 blah, blah.

00:55:00.680 But if it

00:55:01.880 shows overall

00:55:02.640 that the masks

00:55:03.360 are making a

00:55:03.900 difference in the

00:55:04.380 pandemic, I

00:55:05.140 would consider

00:55:05.800 that important.

00:55:07.380 And I

00:55:08.800 think it's

00:55:09.440 astonishing that

00:55:11.240 we're still

00:55:11.660 having this

00:55:12.180 conversation five

00:55:13.260 months in.

00:55:14.120 So here's my

00:55:14.840 take on it.

00:55:15.740 I don't know if

00:55:16.740 masks work.

00:55:18.240 It seems to me

00:55:19.180 obvious they do.

00:55:21.080 But being obvious

00:55:22.560 that something

00:55:23.180 works is different

00:55:24.720 than being

00:55:25.180 scientifically true

00:55:26.320 and proven.

00:55:27.000 We all agree that

00:55:28.160 you can be easily

00:55:28.960 fooled just by

00:55:30.860 looking at stuff.

00:55:32.080 That's not science.

00:55:33.500 Science is not

00:55:34.260 saying, well, it

00:55:34.940 looks like it

00:55:35.340 worked.

00:55:35.620 But your

00:55:38.580 reason should

00:55:39.980 tell you that

00:55:40.860 at the very

00:55:41.420 least it's

00:55:42.560 keeping your

00:55:43.680 exhalations a

00:55:45.140 little bit local

00:55:45.940 and if they're

00:55:47.160 floating in the

00:55:47.860 air afterwards

00:55:48.460 they're probably

00:55:49.100 dispersed and

00:55:49.960 probably a lower

00:55:50.760 viral load.

00:55:52.260 And if masks

00:55:52.940 don't work, well,

00:55:54.980 I'd be very

00:55:55.580 surprised.

00:55:56.580 Wouldn't be

00:55:56.940 impossible.

00:55:57.840 I don't rule

00:55:58.440 it out.

00:55:59.180 I don't rule

00:56:00.020 it out that

00:56:00.540 Sunday we'll

00:56:01.180 find that masks

00:56:02.620 made things

00:56:03.260 worse.

00:56:04.000 I just think

00:56:04.580 it's a small

00:56:05.220 chance.

00:56:06.460 If I had to

00:56:07.020 put the odds

00:56:07.540 on it, I

00:56:08.000 would say

00:56:08.320 95% chance

00:56:11.580 that masks

00:56:12.240 are helping

00:56:12.900 in an important

00:56:13.660 way, 5%

00:56:15.640 chance that we

00:56:16.440 got it all

00:56:16.960 wrong.

00:56:17.900 That's the

00:56:18.320 odds I'd put

00:56:18.860 on it.

00:56:19.860 We're just

00:56:20.360 observationally.

00:56:22.580 So I'm just

00:56:25.700 amazed that we

00:56:26.300 don't even know

00:56:26.840 that.

00:56:27.260 If there's one

00:56:27.800 thing we've

00:56:28.200 learned from

00:56:28.540 this whole

00:56:28.920 coronavirus thing

00:56:29.860 is that we

00:56:30.380 can't trust

00:56:31.060 any of the

00:56:31.760 studies, you

00:56:33.000 can't trust

00:56:33.580 any of the

00:56:34.200 experts, and

00:56:35.660 everything you

00:56:36.420 think is true

00:56:37.120 is going to

00:56:37.540 be untrue

00:56:38.360 tomorrow.

00:56:39.940 And take

00:56:40.920 that thinking

00:56:41.500 over to

00:56:41.980 climate change

00:56:42.740 because it's

00:56:44.040 the same

00:56:44.420 conversation.

00:56:45.660 Now, by

00:56:45.920 the way,

00:56:47.320 for however

00:56:48.860 many years

00:56:49.500 I've argued

00:56:50.140 that we

00:56:51.260 can't do

00:56:51.840 useful models

00:56:53.880 of the future,

00:56:54.900 80 years in

00:56:55.560 the future,

00:56:56.020 for climate

00:56:56.460 change.

00:56:56.820 most people

00:56:58.660 who have

00:56:59.160 not done

00:56:59.720 data analysis

00:57:00.720 for a living,

00:57:01.660 I would

00:57:02.060 think, or

00:57:02.540 have not

00:57:02.820 been close

00:57:03.400 to it

00:57:03.700 anyway,

00:57:04.720 would think

00:57:05.320 maybe I'm

00:57:05.860 wrong.

00:57:07.060 Maybe you

00:57:07.600 could do

00:57:07.980 an 80-year

00:57:08.620 projection

00:57:10.500 about temperature

00:57:11.580 and how that

00:57:12.160 will affect

00:57:12.560 the world.

00:57:13.460 Maybe you

00:57:13.940 could.

00:57:15.000 And you

00:57:15.440 would not

00:57:15.800 be an

00:57:16.180 idiot for

00:57:17.340 thinking maybe

00:57:18.020 that was

00:57:18.400 possible.

00:57:19.040 You would

00:57:19.360 just be

00:57:19.700 somebody who

00:57:20.160 had a

00:57:20.520 different

00:57:20.840 kind of

00:57:21.680 experience

00:57:22.240 in life.

00:57:23.280 I've done

00:57:23.920 projections,

00:57:25.280 anybody else

00:57:26.020 who's done

00:57:26.360 this kind

00:57:26.820 of work

00:57:27.260 knows it's

00:57:28.420 not a

00:57:28.800 thing.

00:57:29.220 It's not

00:57:29.480 even close

00:57:29.920 to a

00:57:30.200 thing.

00:57:30.640 It's not

00:57:31.080 in the

00:57:31.400 neighborhood

00:57:31.780 of being

00:57:32.400 a thing.

00:57:33.500 It's nowhere

00:57:34.340 near a

00:57:34.880 thing, but

00:57:36.380 it's presented

00:57:37.020 as a

00:57:37.460 thing.

00:57:38.300 Now, once

00:57:38.780 the coronavirus

00:57:39.360 has, I

00:57:40.960 think, ruined

00:57:42.060 all of us

00:57:42.720 in terms of

00:57:43.560 trusting data,

00:57:44.960 trusting

00:57:45.220 scientists,

00:57:46.620 trusting the

00:57:47.100 consensus,

00:57:48.440 trusting,

00:57:48.940 you know,

00:57:49.700 individuals or

00:57:50.760 organizations,

00:57:51.840 trusting the

00:57:52.340 government,

00:57:52.980 trusting

00:57:53.220 anything.

00:57:54.260 We've just

00:57:55.020 learned that

00:57:56.020 literally

00:57:56.560 nothing can

00:57:57.360 be trusted

00:57:57.900 in the

00:57:58.480 scientific or

00:57:59.280 political

00:57:59.680 realm.

00:58:00.280 Nothing.

00:58:02.280 But will

00:58:02.780 we take that

00:58:03.400 understanding

00:58:04.060 in the

00:58:05.160 gelman

00:58:05.780 amnesia way,

00:58:07.260 will we

00:58:07.680 take what

00:58:08.100 we learn

00:58:08.620 in this

00:58:09.580 coronavirus

00:58:10.000 situation

00:58:10.760 about the

00:58:11.340 undependability

00:58:12.460 of projections,

00:58:14.540 will we take

00:58:15.160 that to

00:58:15.480 climate change?

00:58:18.080 Evidence

00:58:18.600 suggests that

00:58:19.920 most people

00:58:20.460 won't,

00:58:21.260 that they

00:58:21.600 won't make

00:58:21.980 the leap,

00:58:23.040 that they

00:58:23.560 won't have

00:58:24.440 the

00:58:24.680 sophistication

00:58:25.560 to say,

00:58:26.540 you know,

00:58:27.600 everything was

00:58:28.520 wrong about

00:58:28.980 the coronavirus,

00:58:30.300 just everything,

00:58:31.880 every person,

00:58:32.900 every organization,

00:58:34.520 every model,

00:58:36.360 every everything,

00:58:37.480 it was all

00:58:37.980 wrong.

00:58:39.040 Oh, but this

00:58:39.640 climate change

00:58:40.400 stuff, we got

00:58:40.920 that nailed,

00:58:42.420 got that nailed.

00:58:43.500 Lucky we got

00:58:44.160 this stuff right,

00:58:45.400 but the one

00:58:46.560 time you can

00:58:47.240 really see if

00:58:48.320 it's right or

00:58:48.820 wrong,

00:58:49.540 it's all wrong,

00:58:51.080 really?

00:58:51.820 That's just a

00:58:52.520 coincidence,

00:58:53.060 right?

00:58:53.580 The one

00:58:54.080 time you can

00:58:54.820 clearly know

00:58:55.980 if the experts

00:58:57.520 were right or

00:58:58.160 wrong,

00:58:58.520 they were wrong

00:58:59.120 as much as

00:59:00.260 they were

00:59:00.500 right.

00:59:02.580 Coincidence?

00:59:03.480 Well, it could

00:59:03.960 be the fog of

00:59:04.720 war, but I

00:59:06.220 don't think that

00:59:06.700 explains it

00:59:07.280 totally.

00:59:09.960 You know,

00:59:10.800 I'm not on

00:59:12.700 the anti-Fauci

00:59:14.280 trade,

00:59:15.480 because there's

00:59:16.520 a mind-reading

00:59:17.260 element to that

00:59:18.140 that I'm not

00:59:18.880 comfortable with.

00:59:19.580 anything against

00:59:21.580 Fauci, in my

00:59:23.380 opinion, rests

00:59:24.840 on the assumption

00:59:25.560 that he had

00:59:27.040 bad intentions,

00:59:28.280 some financial

00:59:29.300 connection or

00:59:30.840 bad intentions.

00:59:31.980 I just don't

00:59:32.680 feel that's an

00:59:33.340 evidence, and

00:59:34.140 assuming that

00:59:34.800 he's feeling

00:59:35.360 that way or

00:59:36.060 secretly thinking

00:59:37.020 that way is

00:59:38.240 not a standard

00:59:38.900 I would put on

00:59:39.800 anybody else.

00:59:41.040 I wouldn't put

00:59:41.440 it on him.

00:59:42.740 And the fact

00:59:43.460 that he was

00:59:45.080 wrong about

00:59:45.780 some stuff, I

00:59:47.580 told you from

00:59:48.120 the beginning,

00:59:48.640 on day one

00:59:49.780 of the, you

00:59:50.880 know, when we

00:59:51.280 knew this

00:59:51.620 coronavirus thing

00:59:52.440 was going to

00:59:52.840 be a big

00:59:53.240 deal, very

00:59:54.480 early on, I

00:59:55.280 made a really

00:59:55.880 big deal of

00:59:56.600 saying, I

00:59:57.460 want to tell

00:59:57.940 you now that

00:59:59.520 our leaders are

01:00:00.400 going to make

01:00:00.720 a lot of

01:00:01.120 mistakes, and

01:00:02.660 you shouldn't

01:00:03.300 blame them

01:00:03.920 because nobody

01:00:05.080 knows the

01:00:05.620 right thing to

01:00:06.140 do.

01:00:07.080 Later we'll

01:00:07.740 know what was

01:00:08.280 the right thing

01:00:08.720 to do, and

01:00:09.560 then we'll

01:00:09.800 think we're

01:00:10.140 all fucking

01:00:10.580 geniuses because

01:00:11.320 we looked in

01:00:11.800 the past and

01:00:12.320 say, well,

01:00:13.080 why didn't he

01:00:13.600 know?

01:00:14.800 Why didn't he

01:00:15.500 know?

01:00:16.480 And of course

01:00:16.920 nobody knew.

01:00:17.520 There was

01:00:18.620 always going to

01:00:19.360 be somebody who

01:00:20.300 guessed right.

01:00:21.660 If you take a

01:00:22.860 bunch of marbles

01:00:23.620 and you've got a

01:00:25.580 circle drawn on

01:00:26.820 the ground, you

01:00:27.760 just drop your

01:00:28.460 marbles, some

01:00:29.600 will land in the

01:00:30.380 circle, some

01:00:31.500 will land outside

01:00:32.500 the circle because

01:00:33.380 they'll roll.

01:00:34.640 If it turned out

01:00:35.560 later that being

01:00:36.520 inside the circle

01:00:37.440 was better than

01:00:38.240 outside the circle,

01:00:39.740 were the marbles

01:00:40.500 that were inside

01:00:41.280 the circle the

01:00:42.040 smart marbles?

01:00:42.740 No, marbles are

01:00:44.780 not smart, they

01:00:46.320 just ended up

01:00:47.000 where they ended

01:00:47.520 up.

01:00:48.540 And likewise,

01:00:49.720 leaders around

01:00:50.340 the country took

01:00:51.860 their best guess.

01:00:53.400 They took their

01:00:54.080 best guess.

01:00:55.320 Some of them

01:00:56.140 were going to

01:00:56.720 be right, or

01:00:58.580 right-er, and

01:00:59.900 some of them

01:01:00.460 were going to

01:01:00.880 be wrong, or

01:01:02.440 wrong-er, just

01:01:04.540 like the marbles.

01:01:06.000 And at the end,

01:01:07.260 because we're

01:01:08.100 humans, we will

01:01:09.420 attribute genius to

01:01:10.700 the marbles that

01:01:12.440 landed inside the

01:01:13.380 circle, will say,

01:01:14.720 hey, look, it's

01:01:16.400 pretty obvious.

01:01:17.560 The marbles that

01:01:18.440 were inside the

01:01:19.200 circle are the

01:01:20.240 good leaders.

01:01:21.840 Those are the

01:01:22.520 good leaders,

01:01:23.100 because they

01:01:23.400 picked the right

01:01:23.960 place to be.

01:01:24.780 No, they didn't.

01:01:25.820 It was random.

01:01:27.000 People were

01:01:27.500 guessing some of

01:01:28.880 them got it

01:01:29.400 right.

01:01:30.060 They're not the

01:01:30.700 smart ones.

01:01:31.800 The ones who

01:01:32.480 corrected are the

01:01:34.340 good leaders.

01:01:36.000 So if you're

01:01:36.820 looking for a

01:01:37.740 skill, look for

01:01:39.760 the people who

01:01:40.260 got it wrong and

01:01:41.260 then correct it.

01:01:42.520 And I'm going to

01:01:42.960 surprise you.

01:01:45.080 Boris Johnson, it

01:01:47.340 looks like, you

01:01:48.380 know, this might

01:01:49.180 change in time, so

01:01:50.580 just current

01:01:51.480 snapshot.

01:01:52.580 It looks like

01:01:53.380 Boris Johnson got

01:01:54.540 it completely wrong,

01:01:56.460 meaning that, you

01:01:57.520 know, he was going

01:01:57.960 to go for herd like

01:01:59.740 Sweden, but then

01:02:01.500 they reversed

01:02:02.160 course quite

01:02:04.680 dramatically.

01:02:05.940 They reversed

01:02:06.420 course.

01:02:07.120 It looks like the

01:02:08.080 reversing of the

01:02:08.840 course was

01:02:10.080 better.

01:02:11.420 Don't know yet.

01:02:12.580 We could find out

01:02:14.400 that maybe they

01:02:14.940 should have just

01:02:15.360 gone for herd.

01:02:16.620 But at the

01:02:17.080 moment, it looks

01:02:17.760 like they made a

01:02:19.100 bad decision at

01:02:19.880 first and that

01:02:21.160 they corrected it.

01:02:22.180 So who's the

01:02:23.180 good leader?

01:02:24.780 Is the good

01:02:25.560 leader who made

01:02:26.340 the right decision

01:02:27.240 first or the

01:02:29.860 one who corrected?

01:02:32.160 I kind of like the

01:02:33.280 one who corrects.

01:02:35.160 Right?

01:02:35.500 You don't want to

01:02:36.180 be on the team that

01:02:37.100 got it wrong and

01:02:37.960 then had to

01:02:38.480 correct.

01:02:39.000 Wouldn't you

01:02:39.320 rather be in the

01:02:39.920 team that got it

01:02:40.500 right?

01:02:41.180 But you have to

01:02:41.940 realize nobody knew

01:02:43.060 what to do.

01:02:44.680 So the Boris Johnson

01:02:46.080 approach, if indeed

01:02:48.380 history proves that it

01:02:49.820 was very wrong in the

01:02:50.920 beginning, but they

01:02:52.420 did adjust, I would

01:02:54.280 look at the

01:02:54.660 adjustment to look

01:02:56.080 for the leadership.

01:02:56.960 That's where I would

01:02:57.520 look for the

01:02:58.060 leadership.

01:02:59.140 So I'm not willing

01:03:00.160 to throw Boris Johnson

01:03:01.080 under the bus or any

01:03:03.600 of the other leaders.

01:03:04.820 Let's wait to see how

01:03:05.780 this turns out and

01:03:07.180 let's be a little

01:03:08.080 bit forgiving about

01:03:10.620 the leaders who got

01:03:11.660 it wrong.

01:03:12.540 But the correcting?

01:03:13.820 Oh yeah, you want

01:03:14.500 to look at the

01:03:14.960 correcting.

01:03:15.840 You want to make

01:03:16.540 sure they got that

01:03:17.200 right.

01:03:18.120 All right.

01:03:19.880 It's amazing that the

01:03:21.000 Russians were first

01:03:21.980 to get the vaccination.

01:03:23.400 Well, that's not

01:03:24.200 amazing if you

01:03:24.960 imagine that they

01:03:25.800 cut corners.

01:03:29.880 So I'm being prompted

01:03:33.020 in the comments to

01:03:36.100 mention Cannon Hinnant.

01:03:39.600 I guess the story is

01:03:40.840 the little five-year-old

01:03:43.440 or something who got

01:03:44.460 murdered by the

01:03:46.220 neighbor.

01:03:47.460 Now, I think the

01:03:48.840 story, the reason that

01:03:51.220 conservatives or pro-Trumpers

01:03:53.960 are pushing that story is

01:03:56.840 because they say, hey, how

01:03:58.660 come this is not a

01:03:59.600 national story?

01:04:00.760 Because it was a

01:04:01.800 black man, neighbor

01:04:02.960 who assassinated it,

01:04:05.180 basically, just walked

01:04:06.460 up to a little kid with

01:04:07.440 a gun and just killed

01:04:08.280 him.

01:04:09.340 That's the story,

01:04:10.360 allegedly.

01:04:12.300 And then the

01:04:13.960 complaint is, why is

01:04:15.980 the national media not

01:04:18.440 covering it?

01:04:20.060 And I would argue, why

01:04:21.600 should they?

01:04:24.240 It's a, I don't agree

01:04:26.160 with the argument.

01:04:26.920 I mean, it's a good

01:04:27.440 political argument.

01:04:29.300 If you want to push the

01:04:30.380 argument for political

01:04:31.240 reasons, you know, it's a

01:04:33.100 political season.

01:04:35.800 But, in my opinion, it is

01:04:38.400 not national news.

01:04:40.380 It is a tragedy that

01:04:41.920 doesn't have a political

01:04:43.300 element to it that I can

01:04:45.160 see.

01:04:45.840 If somebody gets

01:04:47.100 murdered wearing a

01:04:48.260 MAGA hat, well, then

01:04:50.340 that's also, that's a

01:04:51.700 tragedy.

01:04:52.900 But it's also a national

01:04:54.360 story because it connects

01:04:55.940 to politics.

01:04:57.400 But one child

01:04:59.400 tragically murdered by a

01:05:01.100 neighbor, does it matter

01:05:02.960 that the neighbor is a

01:05:04.800 different ethnicity?

01:05:06.520 I don't know.

01:05:07.460 Why should it?

01:05:08.580 I mean, we don't know what

01:05:09.940 was going on there, but it

01:05:10.940 looks like a mental health

01:05:11.880 problem, right?

01:05:12.780 So, to me, it just looks

01:05:13.880 like a mental health problem

01:05:14.920 that doesn't connect to any

01:05:16.160 larger issue.

01:05:18.480 So, we can be horrified by it.

01:05:20.380 We can be informed by it, but

01:05:22.820 you shouldn't take it as a, as

01:05:25.240 some larger political thing.

01:05:28.360 That's what I think.

01:05:29.440 All right.

01:05:30.280 Somebody says a peace deal is

01:05:31.960 going on.

01:05:33.720 A peace deal between Israel and

01:05:35.560 the UAE.

01:05:37.520 Interesting.

01:05:38.760 Interesting.

01:05:41.340 Okay.

01:05:41.760 I'll check up on that.

01:05:47.780 It does seem like that Israel

01:05:50.120 may be taking advantage of the

01:05:52.120 coronavirus to get some stuff

01:05:54.680 done.

01:05:55.800 But when I say take advantage,

01:05:57.320 I mean in a good way.

01:05:58.920 It looks like a lot of Iranian

01:06:00.960 military assets are catching on

01:06:03.880 fire.

01:06:04.160 A lot of Hezbollah's assets seem

01:06:08.460 to be blowing up.

01:06:09.420 So, I think Israel is mopping up

01:06:12.040 things and doing a good job of

01:06:14.140 it.

01:06:14.960 All right.

01:06:16.060 Oh, at the moment, the

01:06:16.900 slaughter meter is 100%.

01:06:18.240 100%.

01:06:19.320 I can't see from this perspective

01:06:23.340 Trump losing or even coming

01:06:26.580 close to losing.

01:06:27.780 I just don't see it.

01:06:30.040 But it's still a long time

01:06:31.900 until November.

01:06:32.440 So, you know, the slaughter meter

01:06:35.220 specifically excludes surprises.

01:06:40.080 Right?

01:06:40.660 And there will be surprises.

01:06:42.520 So, you can't use it as a

01:06:43.700 prediction.

01:06:44.760 But it's fun.

01:06:50.000 Yeah, the George Floyd thing was

01:06:51.700 political because of the issue of

01:06:53.920 police, blah, blah, blah.

01:07:00.420 And somebody says, if you

01:07:01.880 reversed the ethnicities, would it

01:07:04.480 then be a national story?

01:07:06.400 Not in my opinion.

01:07:07.700 No.

01:07:08.280 Because in both cases, it would be a

01:07:09.980 mental health story.

01:07:11.360 It's not a political story.

01:07:14.680 All right.

01:07:15.260 That's all I got for now.

01:07:16.220 And I will talk to you later.

01:07:18.100 Well, let's go.

01:07:23.660 And I will talk to you later.

01:07:24.000 Let's go.
