00:00:00.960 Bum bum bum, bum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum. 0.99
00:00:07.100 Hey, where is everybody? Come on in. It's time. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.
00:00:14.640 This will be one of the most unique and novel, dare I say novel, Coffee with Scott Adams you'll ever see.
00:00:26.920 Yeah, it's a new look. And if you'd like to engage in the simultaneous sip, and I know you do,
00:00:37.420 all you need is, and watch me do this from memory, a cup or mug or glass, a tank or chalice or stein,
00:00:45.620 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:54.060 And join me now for the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better except possibly this hotel room.
00:01:02.280 And it's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now.
00:01:05.920 So, I'm out of town, although I may be returning to town soon, sooner than I hoped.
00:01:21.820 The fire that's near where I live in California, in the East Bay, has now, the evacuation zone is extended to right next to my neighborhood.
00:01:35.880 So, the next time they extend it, I will be taking an early flight back and clearing out my house and grabbing the animals and making a run for it.
00:01:46.480 I'm hoping that doesn't happen. I think it's a 50-50 at this point.
00:01:53.220 But it looks like they're going to make a stand.
00:01:56.880 The fire department is calling in lots of out of state and other help.
00:02:02.340 And it looks like they're going to make a stand on a certain road that, if they succeed, would be a really big deal.
00:02:09.180 So, they'd save a lot of houses.
00:02:12.800 But enough about me.
00:02:14.840 Do you want to hear about the news?
00:02:17.160 Yes, my house is in danger.
00:02:19.180 Not at the moment.
00:02:21.460 But I'd say the odds of losing it are maybe 25%.
00:02:26.300 Do you know how hard it is to enjoy your time away from home?
00:02:30.820 If you think that there's a 25% chance you'll come back to a charred ember, very hard.
00:02:37.220 Very hard to enjoy my time off.
00:02:40.260 Let's just say, if you're going to plan some time away, don't do it when your house might burn up.
00:02:46.980 That's just, that's my vacation advice for you.
00:02:50.520 Now, you're probably asking, Scott, why are you laying on the floor?
00:02:54.180 Well, I'm in a very high-end hotel situation here.
00:03:00.800 It's actually sort of a, kind of a home.
00:03:04.840 And somehow they designed this so there are no, there are no outlets in any place you would want to use an outlet.
00:03:13.240 So, the only place in this whole place that I could figure out how to set up my situation here
00:03:18.140 was lying on the floor in the corner next to the wastebasket.
00:03:21.720 So, that's about as good as I can do, because my computer was low on power.
00:03:28.680 Let's talk about all the fun things.
00:03:30.920 So, the funniest story of the day is that Richard Spencer, you all know Richard Spencer,
00:03:35.800 most famous, well, maybe second most famous racist in the United States,
00:03:40.840 and one of the organizers of, and here's the fun part, the Charlottesville Tiki Torch guys.
00:03:49.560 All right, so get this.
00:03:52.400 One of the organizers of the Charlottesville racist event, Richard Spencer, just endorsed Biden.
00:04:02.560 Could that be any better?
00:04:05.780 That's right.
00:04:06.580 Spencer is endorsing Biden.
00:04:08.360 Now, his spokesperson for the Biden campaign has denounced him and, you know, said we don't accept that.
00:04:17.680 But, where is Biden himself?
00:04:21.300 Is that good enough for you?
00:04:23.420 You know, is it good enough that a spokesperson denies the endorsement?
00:04:28.000 I have to ask myself, if a racist likes Biden, doesn't that make him a racist, Joe Biden?
00:04:38.740 Doesn't it?
00:04:40.140 Well, I think it does.
00:04:41.460 I learned this from Democrats.
00:04:43.640 I learned that you become whoever endorses you, which is weird, because all the people who endorse you are different.
00:04:50.160 But you become all of them simultaneously.
00:04:53.680 That's what they told us with Trump, that if anybody bad ever endorsed him, then Trump must be bad, because those are the people who are endorsing him.
00:05:02.920 Right?
00:05:04.080 Totally.
00:05:04.900 It's logical.
00:05:06.500 So, if Richard Spencer endorses Biden, I don't make the rules.
00:05:12.200 That's their own rule.
00:05:13.100 So, excuse me while I roll on my stomach here, trying to find a way to be comfortable.
00:05:21.500 So, that's going on.
00:05:23.960 And, I can't think of anything that's funnier than that.
00:05:28.400 Now, the beauty of it, of course, is it's all ridiculous and nobody cares what this one person, you know, thinks.
00:05:34.840 He may be trolling.
00:05:36.580 We don't know.
00:05:37.940 But, it puts him in the news.
00:05:40.140 Do I hate the fact that the organizer of the Charlottesville event, which later the media turned into the Charlottesville Fine People hoax, do I mind that he's in the news again?
00:05:54.980 No, I do not.
00:05:58.140 Somebody says, did I get a chance to see the Vice special on Charlottesville?
00:06:02.300 I did not.
00:06:02.860 But, I wouldn't trust Vice for anything, so I would expect that whatever they came up with might not be that credible.
00:06:13.280 So, anyway, the rules that the Democrats have taught us, and I think we should play by their rules, because they're very clear and they make so much sense.
00:06:22.620 One is that Biden is a racist because a racist endorsed him.
00:06:27.400 That's, I mean, I think that's just obvious, you know, QED.
00:06:32.600 And then the other is that he confirms that he's a racist by not denouncing him.
00:06:39.340 Now, you're saying to me, Scott, but his spokesperson denounced him right away.
00:06:43.800 Oh, no, that doesn't count.
00:06:46.400 No spokesperson denouncing.
00:06:49.020 I want to see Joe Biden denouncing him personally.
00:06:53.300 And when he does, do you know what I'm going to say?
00:06:56.000 Because he will.
00:06:57.580 Do you know what I'm going to say?
00:06:59.260 I'm going to say, I'm going to look at my watch that I don't have on my hand, and I'm going to say, um, that took a long time.
00:07:07.980 How long does it take to denounce Richard Spencer?
00:07:12.500 I mean, should that take a day?
00:07:16.500 I mean, you've got Twitter.
00:07:19.060 You know what Twitter is.
00:07:20.300 You have a phone.
00:07:20.940 And just tweet it out.
00:07:22.680 Joe Biden, I denounce him.
00:07:26.920 So those are the rules.
00:07:28.880 Somebody says, so you're confirming David Duke and Trump are racist.
00:07:33.820 I'm just saying that the rules need to be the same.
00:07:37.180 So it looks like the only people running are racist this time.
00:07:40.800 So if you want a non-racist, I'd recommend Kanye.
00:07:45.980 Really?
00:07:47.040 You know, if that's your thing.
00:07:48.040 So, all right, enough about that.
00:07:53.180 So speaking of Biden, who I like to call the asshole Joe Biden, because, as I've described it too often, by Joe Biden making the Charlottesville Fine People hoax, the centerpiece of his campaign, that's maybe stupid.
00:08:12.380 Maybe he doesn't know it's a hoax, but by now somebody's told him.
00:08:16.840 By now, somebody's told him it's a hoax.
00:08:19.920 By now, he's certainly read the transcript.
00:08:23.040 Okay, probably not.
00:08:24.660 But, anyway, he's either really stupid or he's really evil.
00:08:30.020 Those are the only options if you're making that the centerpiece of your campaign.
00:08:34.560 But ABC interviewed him, David Muir.
00:08:37.980 David Muir has been in my home.
00:08:40.900 It's a small world sort of thing.
00:08:43.420 David Muir interviewed me years ago when I had my voice problems.
00:08:48.860 Nice guy.
00:08:49.360 But he interviewed Biden, and he asked him about the allegations of his cognitive decline.
00:09:00.020 And this was, if I can do my best impression of Joe Biden when asked on camera about his cognitive decline.
00:09:10.040 Here was Joe Biden's answer.
00:09:11.680 No, I don't have any cognitive decline.
00:09:23.660 I think that my impression was right on.
00:09:27.400 Pretty, pretty close.
00:09:28.600 In fact, if somebody tuned this in, and they just saw that impression of Joe Biden,
00:09:32.780 they would probably say, oh, look, it's Joe Biden doing another speech.
00:09:35.820 They probably wouldn't even know it wasn't Joe Biden until this part where I say I'm not Joe Biden.
00:09:40.520 I'm not Joe Biden.
00:09:42.340 I'm just doing such a dead-on impression of him over laughing.
00:09:46.000 Now, here's the thing.
00:09:48.560 The over laugh is really a tell.
00:09:53.040 All right?
00:09:54.200 Let me give you another example of where the over laugh can tell you something.
00:10:00.080 Hey, Scott, did you murder that puppy?
00:10:04.740 Murder the puppy? 0.95
00:10:05.500 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. 0.97
00:10:09.380 Who would ever think I'd murder a puppy?
00:10:13.920 Not me.
00:10:15.260 So always look for the overlap as your confirmation of the thing being true.
00:10:20.580 Now, the other thing that Biden said,
00:10:22.980 which might get him poisoned by Kamala Harris by the end of today,
00:10:28.320 is he said during that interview that he would consider running us for a second term
00:10:32.660 if he wins a first term.
00:10:35.560 Oh, yeah, then he said, come on, man.
00:10:37.420 Come on, man.
00:10:39.000 So Biden is saying that he would run for a second term, maybe.
00:10:44.240 He's now ruling it out if he wins a first term.
00:10:46.880 What do you think Kamala Harris thought about that? 0.98
00:10:49.660 She was probably watching the interview for the first time like everybody else.
00:10:53.720 It's like, oh, let's see how the top of the ticket did.
00:10:57.120 Joe Biden said he might run for a second term.
00:11:02.120 And then she called Putin and asked him who his poison guy is.
00:11:08.900 Who's your poison guy, Putin?
00:11:10.820 Send him over here.
00:11:11.580 Kellyanne Conway is announced she's leaving the White House.
00:11:18.540 You all know the story.
00:11:19.640 Her husband, George Conway, from the Lincoln Project, anti-Trumper.
00:11:24.120 And then her 15-year-old daughter got involved in social media
00:11:29.280 and was calling on her mother for being a Trump supporter.
00:11:32.600 And Kellyanne decided to step away from her job, one of the highest-profile jobs in America. 0.63
00:11:41.220 And at the same time, her husband, George, decided to step away from the anti-Trump stuff,
00:11:46.720 the Lincoln Project, and concentrate on the family.
00:11:50.360 And I have to say, I got to say, I respect that.
00:11:56.180 I also have this weird respect for the whole family.
00:12:01.080 I know I'm probably all alone in this.
00:12:03.640 But there's something awesome about not only how brave they all are,
00:12:12.200 because they'll all do everything in public.
00:12:14.840 So they're really brave.
00:12:17.400 They're all smart.
00:12:19.760 You assume the kids are probably smart too.
00:12:22.360 And they've all got incredible guts.
00:12:25.780 And they'll just put anything out there.
00:12:27.820 It's like they just operate on some different level where there's no filter.
00:12:34.140 And it seems all three of them have that, at least the ones we know of, including the daughter.
00:12:38.800 They all have that no filter thing, which I don't hate.
00:12:42.940 I don't hate that.
00:12:44.740 You know?
00:12:45.980 They've got some stuff to work out, it sounds like.
00:12:48.260 But I just kind of like their spunkiness, the whole family.
00:12:51.860 If they ever did a reality TV show, wouldn't you watch that?
00:12:55.120 Can you imagine a better reality TV show than the Conway's?
00:13:00.460 I'd be all over that.
00:13:02.700 All right.
00:13:03.700 So the president gave his little press conference yesterday and announced that...
00:13:11.560 I forget.
00:13:12.360 I don't know the details on this convalescent blood plasma thing.
00:13:15.860 I was traveling when all that happened.
00:13:17.520 I didn't catch up.
00:13:18.720 But apparently he and the FDA have said that that's now on the table.
00:13:25.120 So I don't know what it means yet in terms of the blood plasma.
00:13:31.000 Because it took about one minute for Jake Tapper to tweet that it was an unproven, possibly ineffective treatment.
00:13:41.320 Have you ever heard that?
00:13:44.460 Somebody says you mocked the child a few days ago.
00:13:47.360 I did not.
00:13:48.700 I did not.
00:13:49.320 And you get blocked for that.
00:13:51.780 So mischaracterizing my opinion in public always gets you blocked.
00:13:56.900 So I did not mock the 15-year-old.
00:14:02.460 Not at all.
00:14:06.680 So what was I saying?
00:14:07.880 Oh, yeah.
00:14:08.320 So...
00:14:08.920 Fuck me.
00:14:11.160 Excuse me.
00:14:11.940 I've got to plug in my laptop before it dies on me.
00:14:15.180 So, the convalescent plasma stuff.
00:14:22.260 So everybody knows that you take the antibodies and the blood of somebody who's recovered, give it to somebody who needs it, and, you know, about half of them will do better or something.
00:14:32.100 But there's some dispute about whether it works or whether it's lasting or whatever.
00:14:35.980 But, don't you think that all you need is a commercial market for that, and it would be huge?
00:14:43.280 Because right now, it's sort of a volunteer sort of a situation, isn't it?
00:14:49.480 Do, you know, fact check me on that.
00:14:53.200 But I think that we don't quite have a structure set up that there's one way to get blood plasma.
00:14:59.440 It's just sort of on the table now.
00:15:01.720 Here's what I'd like to see.
00:15:02.840 I'd like to see a bounty that rich people would pay to find somebody who's got the right kind of antibodies and to donate them so that that rich person can actually get those antibodies.
00:15:16.100 If you make this a free market situation, and I don't know if you can because of maybe some medical ethical reason you can't do that, but if you could, that would be enough to make it widespread.
00:15:28.620 Because the rich people would overpay, and that would subsidize the people who couldn't afford to pay. 0.94
00:15:34.680 So you'd have to have some kind of a situation where it doesn't go only to the rich.
00:15:38.580 But a typical situation is that the people who can pay, overpay, that subsidizes some people who couldn't afford to pay at all.
00:15:46.920 It might be a free market way to make that work.
00:15:49.320 It could be big.
00:15:49.960 Trump also stirred the water by tweeting an interview that Levin did with Dr. Harvey Risch of Yale.
00:16:03.360 And Dr. Risch, R-A-S-C-H, is it Risch?
00:16:07.900 Risch? 0.89
00:16:09.720 He's a highly qualified Yale kind of guy and expert.
00:16:15.520 And he thinks that hydroxychloroquine is, in his words, the most obviously proven effective thing of all time.
00:16:25.100 I'm exaggerating a little bit.
00:16:26.760 But in his view, the evidence is unambiguous.
00:16:29.800 I don't know if that's true.
00:16:34.600 I'm still putting hydroxychloroquine at a 30% chance of being a big deal, and that there's some conspiracy to cover it up.
00:16:42.220 Which is pretty big.
00:16:43.480 A 30% chance that it's a conspiracy does not give you much confidence in the system.
00:16:50.440 But I like the fact that Trump hasn't given up on that, and that there is evidence that he's right.
00:16:56.680 So I tweeted a very smart-looking article from Rob Henderson, who's on Twitter.
00:17:06.260 And he wrote an article about luxury beliefs, which is totally worth reading.
00:17:12.420 It's like a really good read.
00:17:14.680 So you'll see it in my Twitter feed this morning.
00:17:16.620 And the idea is that there are some beliefs that are purely impractical for other people, but you look good if you adopt that belief.
00:17:28.040 So an example would be rich people in favor of lots of immigration.
00:17:33.800 Because if you're rich, that sounds very big of you.
00:17:36.500 Yeah, all people, let them in.
00:17:39.660 But it's not you who will pay.
00:17:41.800 You just get maybe a gardener and a chef because you have cheap labor.
00:17:47.280 So it's really easy to be a rich person and be in favor of immigration.
00:17:52.200 Because the people who get the chef from that are the people who are competing for the jobs at the lower end.
00:17:58.040 And so he talks about it as luxury beliefs.
00:18:03.100 And he does a good job of tying it into other crazy things we do.
00:18:08.640 For example, the reason that luxury brands exist at all is so that rich people can overpay for them.
00:18:16.480 It's the overpaying for something that's not really that much better that makes it a luxury brand.
00:18:22.940 And it's the overpaying that other people can notice.
00:18:28.100 They'll be like, oh, wait a minute.
00:18:29.840 You've got one of those $25,000 handbags, if people can recognize it.
00:18:34.840 Hey, you've got this expensive watch or this big car.
00:18:38.000 And people know that the person who has those things is maybe not getting that much extra utility out of them,
00:18:44.780 except for the signaling that they have so much money that they can buy dumbass stuff.
00:18:49.440 And if you look at the Black Lives Matter protests, you've got a full range of people at the street level, if you will,
00:19:01.200 the people protesting, probably lower income for the most part.
00:19:06.840 But the people who are higher income also, in many cases, are in favor of the protests.
00:19:13.620 But they're not the ones who have to pay for any of this.
00:19:15.660 They don't have to worry about the schools being bad.
00:19:19.300 They can send their kid to a prep school or whatever.
00:19:22.580 And they have the freedom to be in favor of something that's just nothing but bad for black lives, 0.96
00:19:31.460 but act like they're being virtuous, even though their belief system is just terrible for the people that they think they're supporting.
00:19:38.660 So anyway, he does a better job in his article.
00:19:41.040 I would just point you to that.
00:19:42.080 One of the funniest things that's happening right now is, you all know Brian Stelter on CNN.
00:19:51.700 And he wrote a book that many have said, I'll use Trump's phrase,
00:19:58.240 when Trump wants to distance himself from an idea but still get it across,
00:20:02.140 he'll say, many people have said that Brian Stelter's new book is a ripoff of Mike Cernovich's film Hoaxed.
00:20:13.040 Now, Hoaxed is one of the best things I've ever seen.
00:20:15.760 It's actually really, really good for any kind of a film, documentary or other.
00:20:21.800 It's one of the most enjoyable pieces of content I've seen in years, actually.
00:20:25.860 And, of course, I'm biased because I'm in it, but it's not the part that I'm in that's the good part.
00:20:32.180 It's just the whole way it's organized and the way it finishes is just amazing.
00:20:37.120 But anyway, so Brian Stelter has a book with a similar title, without the ED on the end, just Hoax.
00:20:44.000 And he has somebody on, I guess yesterday, this Peter Parmorencev,
00:20:50.960 and he likened President Trump's frequent use of the word hoax to an information war game.
00:20:57.880 And this guest said, he says it's a tactic used for undermining people's faith in anything.
00:21:04.920 And in the long term, what this does is it makes people feel helpless and passive,
00:21:08.960 because if they can't rely on anything out there, that means you can't change anything.
00:21:13.460 Which means you need a strong leader like Trump or Putin.
00:21:17.940 Like Trump or Putin.
00:21:19.740 Really, those are the only two strong leaders he can think of.
00:21:22.820 The first two that came to mind were Trump and Putin.
00:21:27.060 This ridiculous, ridiculous propaganda network.
00:21:32.120 Anyway, for Brian Stelter to be on the hoax network,
00:21:39.300 the network that does almost nothing but push hoaxes all day long,
00:21:42.820 it's primarily, it's like their main business model is hoaxing.
00:21:46.920 And he has the guts to bring people on and talk about how it's bad for President Trump to call out the hoaxes.
00:21:54.980 Now, here's my view.
00:21:57.280 If there were no hoaxes, and the president was calling things that were real hoaxes,
00:22:05.520 that'd be pretty bad, wouldn't it?
00:22:08.720 Wouldn't you agree that if the president were looking at things that were actually true,
00:22:14.560 and he was saying in public that these totally true things were hoaxes,
00:22:19.740 that could be destabilizing for a country, couldn't it?
00:22:23.260 Or, it could look like politics as usual, unless you were born yesterday.
00:22:29.480 But, I like to think that calling out a hoax is actually better than not calling it out.
00:22:36.340 It seems to me that calling out falsehoods in the news actually is a public service.
00:22:42.860 So, that was hilarious.
00:22:48.900 So, Trump's use of the word hoax is poisonous was the title of the piece, at least online.
00:22:57.680 And I'm thinking to myself, it is poisonous for CNN.
00:23:03.400 It's only poisonous for CNN, because they're the target of it.
00:23:08.980 All right, Portland is getting a little worse,
00:23:15.320 because the action in the cities, the protests, spilled into the suburbs.
00:23:21.100 Now, there was no violence, but there will be,
00:23:26.720 because apparently now that the right-wingers know that they can go there to punch people,
00:23:32.240 and they can get away with it.
00:23:33.440 I told you the story of the gigantic right-wing guy who punched the 85-pound,
00:23:41.320 I don't know what he was, he was smaller,
00:23:43.440 Antifa person.
00:23:45.180 But the Antifa person punched first.
00:23:48.040 So, I think the right-wingers have realized
00:23:51.680 that because Antifa is so bad at punching, 0.91
00:23:55.520 that they can go down there and they can take the first punch,
00:23:59.100 as long as somebody's filming it.
00:24:00.760 Because if somebody films you taking the first punch,
00:24:04.320 you can kind of just take them out.
00:24:07.300 That's the law.
00:24:08.880 Literally, it's the law.
00:24:11.160 If somebody punches you in the face,
00:24:13.420 it doesn't really matter if they're smaller than you.
00:24:19.840 I think.
00:24:20.920 You know, I think if somebody who's,
00:24:22.820 let's say, for my example, 125 pounds,
00:24:27.380 punches directly in the face, or attempts to,
00:24:30.140 somebody who's, say, 200 pounds,
00:24:33.780 it's completely legal for that 200-pounder
00:24:36.400 to take that person out.
00:24:38.960 Right?
00:24:39.380 That's not illegal.
00:24:40.400 It's not like they're a professional boxer or something.
00:24:42.840 They're just bigger.
00:24:43.580 So, I would not be surprised if right-wingers start to see this as a sport.
00:24:50.760 Somebody says it was a girl.
00:24:52.660 It might have been.
00:24:54.580 It looked like it could have been.
00:24:56.140 When I looked at the video,
00:24:58.900 I was like,
00:24:59.400 I can't tell the gender,
00:25:01.220 but I don't want to be that misgendering kind of a guy.
00:25:04.380 All right.
00:25:11.260 So, there's going to be more of that.
00:25:13.480 And then when Ken,
00:25:17.380 what's his name?
00:25:19.820 Oh, Cuccinelli.
00:25:21.580 When Cuccinelli was asked about this,
00:25:24.560 whether Trump intends to send federal officers back into the city,
00:25:28.780 Cuccinelli said,
00:25:29.980 this president hasn't taken any actions off the table.
00:25:33.380 I always tell you that.
00:25:34.900 The thing that makes Trump,
00:25:37.340 in many ways,
00:25:38.400 better than other presidents in this particular way,
00:25:41.380 is that he never takes an option off the table.
00:25:45.660 Even when you're sure he should,
00:25:48.400 he doesn't.
00:25:49.420 He just never takes an option off the table.
00:25:51.960 And that makes him very unpredictable,
00:25:54.460 which is what he wants.
00:25:55.820 He tells us that,
00:25:56.980 you know,
00:25:57.220 specifically.
00:25:58.160 It totally works.
00:26:00.100 So,
00:26:00.820 there's that.
00:26:02.100 At the same time,
00:26:02.940 there's another Wisconsin shooting
00:26:04.540 of police shooting a black man in the back.
00:26:09.780 And now when you hear that,
00:26:11.100 you say,
00:26:11.640 police shot a black man in the back.
00:26:14.860 What's your first thought?
00:26:17.580 Oh my God,
00:26:18.580 there it is again.
00:26:19.900 The police are out of control.
00:26:21.980 They shot somebody in the back.
00:26:23.280 There's no way to justify that,
00:26:26.040 right?
00:26:27.000 Right?
00:26:27.600 There's no way to justify
00:26:28.700 somebody being shot in the back
00:26:30.880 unless you watch the video,
00:26:34.140 in which case,
00:26:35.300 I think I would have shot that guy in the back as well.
00:26:38.640 Because here's what happened.
00:26:40.700 If you watch the video,
00:26:41.900 you'll see that the police stopped a guy.
00:26:44.220 He's outside of his car.
00:26:46.160 I didn't see what happened before that.
00:26:47.720 But the person they stopped
00:26:49.980 ignores police telling him to stop,
00:26:53.760 turns his back to them,
00:26:55.600 and walks toward his car.
00:26:57.240 Now they follow him.
00:26:58.740 They're not shooting him in the back
00:27:00.100 just for walking toward his car.
00:27:02.140 But he opens the car,
00:27:04.320 and he reaches inside,
00:27:06.280 and he refuses to do anything
00:27:08.240 the police are telling him to do.
00:27:09.660 Now, if somebody is
00:27:11.860 refusing to comply
00:27:14.400 to police,
00:27:16.080 and then they go,
00:27:17.340 and they reach into their car,
00:27:19.240 and you can't see
00:27:20.220 what they're reaching for,
00:27:22.520 and you know that it's nothing good,
00:27:25.540 because, you know,
00:27:27.140 he's obviously resisting arrest,
00:27:29.140 do you have the right
00:27:30.280 to shoot him
00:27:31.620 at that moment,
00:27:32.880 because he's created a situation
00:27:34.580 in which he may or may not
00:27:36.280 come up with a gun?
00:27:37.480 I feel like,
00:27:41.260 you know,
00:27:42.680 it's a gray area.
00:27:44.860 I feel like a lot of people
00:27:46.340 would have shot him
00:27:47.020 in that situation.
00:27:48.660 Now,
00:27:49.200 the police were not
00:27:50.320 in imminent danger,
00:27:52.280 but let me give you this,
00:27:54.200 you know,
00:27:55.460 hypothetical.
00:27:56.840 Let's say there was a,
00:27:58.420 somebody they just stopped
00:27:59.600 in the street,
00:28:00.520 and he's facing him,
00:28:02.100 and the police say,
00:28:03.000 put your hands up.
00:28:04.820 And he puts him up at first,
00:28:06.420 and then he starts
00:28:07.500 to reach down,
00:28:08.840 and he reaches in his pocket
00:28:10.000 really quickly.
00:28:12.200 All right,
00:28:12.620 and the police officer
00:28:14.120 has a gun on him,
00:28:15.240 and he says,
00:28:16.020 get your,
00:28:16.540 get your hand out of your pocket.
00:28:18.400 Get your hand out of your pocket.
00:28:20.140 And then he doesn't.
00:28:23.420 Is the police officer
00:28:24.480 allowed to shoot the person
00:28:25.800 who has not shown them a weapon?
00:28:29.160 All he did is reach in his pocket.
00:28:31.260 Maybe he was reaching
00:28:32.000 for his wallet.
00:28:33.760 How do you know?
00:28:34.540 I mean,
00:28:35.480 maybe there was something
00:28:36.820 you wanted to show
00:28:37.520 the police officer
00:28:38.360 that was relevant,
00:28:39.720 and he just thought
00:28:40.480 it would be okay.
00:28:41.760 Could the police officer
00:28:43.060 shoot somebody
00:28:44.000 who reaches in their pocket
00:28:46.200 during a stop?
00:28:49.480 I don't know,
00:28:50.520 but I think so.
00:28:52.640 Now,
00:28:52.900 somebody said
00:28:53.300 he shot seven times.
00:28:54.840 Yeah,
00:28:55.120 because I think
00:28:56.020 they weren't shooting him
00:28:56.980 in the head. 0.53
00:28:57.900 They were shooting him
00:28:58.780 in the body
00:28:59.280 because they weren't
00:29:00.020 trying to kill him.
00:29:01.180 Well,
00:29:01.520 I don't know
00:29:02.320 if they were trying to kill him,
00:29:03.160 but they were certainly
00:29:03.740 trying to stop him.
00:29:05.400 If they'd wanted him dead,
00:29:07.020 his head was right there.
00:29:08.100 It's not like
00:29:08.580 they would have missed
00:29:09.220 because it was literally
00:29:10.720 point blank.
00:29:14.240 But it looks,
00:29:15.340 you know,
00:29:15.540 once the shooting started,
00:29:16.620 I think maybe the,
00:29:18.380 he wasn't the only one shooting,
00:29:19.740 so I guess the seven bullets
00:29:20.840 pretty quickly.
00:29:21.940 I don't think
00:29:22.420 they remembered every shot.
00:29:24.060 They get pretty worked up
00:29:24.940 in those situations,
00:29:25.980 I would think.
00:29:27.020 All right,
00:29:27.260 here's the most
00:29:28.040 interesting story.
00:29:31.000 I would say
00:29:31.780 the odds of this being true
00:29:33.080 are not very high.
00:29:35.020 So,
00:29:35.840 put your skeptical hat on
00:29:38.000 because this is
00:29:38.880 the most skeptical
00:29:39.980 topic you could ever have.
00:29:43.260 Kim Jong-un
00:29:44.000 is rumored
00:29:45.380 by a South Korean diplomat.
00:29:48.320 Have you ever heard
00:29:49.100 of this before?
00:29:50.340 A South Korean diplomat
00:29:51.760 who said something
00:29:52.640 about North Korea
00:29:53.520 and then later
00:29:54.040 it turned out
00:29:54.500 not to be true.
00:29:55.180 I don't think
00:29:56.680 this is necessarily true,
00:29:58.500 but it's interesting.
00:30:00.640 He says
00:30:00.980 that North Korean leader
00:30:02.900 Kim Jong-un
00:30:04.020 has fallen into a coma
00:30:05.320 and his sister
00:30:07.280 is poised to take over.
00:30:09.540 Now,
00:30:11.180 is it,
00:30:11.820 is it true?
00:30:18.640 Is it true
00:30:19.860 that Kim Jong-un
00:30:22.040 is in a coma?
00:30:22.820 Because if it is,
00:30:25.500 I want you to
00:30:26.120 harken back,
00:30:28.200 think back
00:30:28.960 to the time
00:30:30.280 when it was rumored
00:30:31.460 by a South Korean
00:30:32.580 diplomat,
00:30:33.780 I think,
00:30:34.400 that Kim Jong-un
00:30:35.600 was dead
00:30:36.360 or in a coma.
00:30:37.720 Do you remember that?
00:30:38.660 It wasn't too long ago.
00:30:40.180 And what did I say?
00:30:42.480 I said,
00:30:44.160 huh,
00:30:45.240 they showed video later
00:30:46.620 to show that
00:30:47.460 Kim Jong-un
00:30:48.120 was not only alive,
00:30:49.400 but he was doing great.
00:30:50.300 He was walking around
00:30:51.100 touring some facility.
00:30:52.820 And what did I say
00:30:54.200 when they showed that video
00:30:55.340 to prove that he was up
00:30:56.580 and fine
00:30:57.000 and he was healthy?
00:30:58.180 I said,
00:30:59.520 I don't think
00:31:00.320 that's a current video.
00:31:02.080 I think
00:31:02.960 that might be
00:31:04.320 from some time ago.
00:31:06.500 And so,
00:31:07.420 I challenged the world
00:31:08.580 to show me
00:31:10.220 a living Kim Jong-un
00:31:11.780 from that day forward
00:31:13.760 that wasn't on video.
00:31:15.080 Something we could confirm
00:31:16.300 was definitely
00:31:17.200 really him alive.
00:31:18.220 and
00:31:19.780 maybe there has been.
00:31:21.980 I may have missed it.
00:31:23.580 But,
00:31:24.200 I,
00:31:25.340 and
00:31:25.580 the bigger picture is
00:31:27.840 I don't think
00:31:28.700 this South Korean diplomat
00:31:29.880 is
00:31:30.340 necessarily
00:31:31.520 credible.
00:31:32.880 So,
00:31:33.540 I wouldn't,
00:31:34.020 I wouldn't assume
00:31:34.760 that we know
00:31:36.160 anything that's happening there.
00:31:37.200 All right.
00:31:40.880 I believe
00:31:41.820 that's what I wanted
00:31:43.900 to talk about.
00:31:45.920 Yeah,
00:31:46.420 there's a Kim Jong-un
00:31:47.960 rumor every 30 days
00:31:49.300 is somebody saying there.
00:31:56.160 Kim Jong-un
00:31:57.040 is on the roof.
00:31:57.780 So,
00:32:00.360 I do wonder
00:32:01.020 what would be different
00:32:02.540 if his sister took over.
00:32:04.840 Because,
00:32:05.560 partly you think to yourself,
00:32:07.600 hey,
00:32:08.640 maybe the sister
00:32:09.440 will be less of a
00:32:10.720 hard ass. 0.94
00:32:12.100 You know,
00:32:12.260 maybe she'll be
00:32:13.020 more willing to work
00:32:14.360 with other countries
00:32:15.200 and stuff.
00:32:16.080 Maybe.
00:32:17.160 Totally possible.
00:32:18.180 You know,
00:32:18.700 it could be the sister
00:32:19.500 is,
00:32:20.320 you know,
00:32:20.500 the big break
00:32:21.240 that makes everything possible.
00:32:22.560 That's totally possible.
00:32:23.940 The other possibility
00:32:25.040 is that
00:32:27.100 she has to be
00:32:28.300 even more
00:32:29.020 of a hard ass 0.99
00:32:29.860 than her brother was
00:32:31.880 because she has to
00:32:32.940 prove herself.
00:32:33.940 You know,
00:32:34.100 she has to try harder
00:32:34.920 to prove herself.
00:32:36.160 So,
00:32:36.720 I would worry
00:32:37.480 that at least
00:32:38.720 on day one,
00:32:40.620 if she were to take over,
00:32:42.320 hypothetically,
00:32:43.520 if she were to take over
00:32:44.820 on day one,
00:32:45.420 I think she would probably
00:32:46.360 come out hard
00:32:47.080 against the United States
00:32:48.820 and probably try to,
00:32:51.620 you know,
00:32:51.960 rattle a saber or two.
00:32:57.100 All right.
00:33:00.600 So,
00:33:01.040 we'll wait on that.
00:33:04.740 They're doing the same thing
00:33:06.380 with Joe Biden.
00:33:07.960 So,
00:33:08.280 so Biden's answer
00:33:09.460 on the video
00:33:10.940 where he laughed too hard
00:33:12.040 that I talked about,
00:33:13.560 his answer was,
00:33:14.660 watch me.
00:33:15.660 Just watch me.
00:33:17.000 And you'll,
00:33:17.520 and therefore you'll know
00:33:18.560 that he doesn't have
00:33:19.520 any cognitive decline.
00:33:21.200 And I'm thinking,
00:33:22.300 that's what we,
00:33:24.360 that's where we got it from.
00:33:26.800 Watching you
00:33:27.720 is why we're asking
00:33:29.040 the question.
00:33:30.700 So,
00:33:30.920 it's sort of like,
00:33:32.360 you know,
00:33:33.680 I won't do a bad analogy,
00:33:36.680 but it's sort of like
00:33:37.800 something that's a bad analogy.
00:33:40.400 So,
00:33:40.820 so I'm being
00:33:42.200 called,
00:33:43.900 my attention is being called
00:33:44.920 to Hawk Newsome
00:33:45.860 on Martha McCallum
00:33:47.560 and Black Lives Matter.
00:33:49.600 I haven't seen that,
00:33:51.500 but apparently he made
00:33:52.540 some news.
00:33:53.180 was he being
00:33:55.840 extra radical?
00:33:57.180 Because that seems
00:33:57.940 to be where he's
00:33:58.620 sort of ended up.
00:34:00.620 I assume that he was
00:34:01.720 being extra radical.
00:34:06.780 Wondering what
00:34:07.500 my weight training program is?
00:34:09.340 Any pointers?
00:34:10.640 Well,
00:34:11.160 I'm certainly not a role model
00:34:12.680 for weight training,
00:34:14.120 but I just do it regularly.
00:34:16.420 If you read my book,
00:34:17.640 How to Fail at Almost Everything
00:34:18.820 and still win big,
00:34:20.780 you will,
00:34:21.920 you will see my,
00:34:23.480 my description
00:34:25.080 of using a system
00:34:26.120 instead of a goal.
00:34:27.860 And if you use a system,
00:34:29.660 whatever one you develop
00:34:31.060 for yourself,
00:34:32.440 that's your best situation.
00:34:34.860 What's the next hoax
00:34:36.120 coming before the election?
00:34:38.260 Well,
00:34:38.880 if you could,
00:34:39.540 if you could predict them,
00:34:41.200 they wouldn't be good.
00:34:42.660 So they,
00:34:43.420 they sort of have
00:34:44.260 to be unpredictable.
00:34:45.260 But if you,
00:34:47.160 if you wanted to say,
00:34:48.340 all right,
00:34:48.560 what would be the
00:34:49.520 category that would be
00:34:51.360 most damaging
00:34:52.120 to the president?
00:34:53.700 So if you were going
00:34:54.640 to invent a hoax,
00:34:56.340 you would find something
00:34:57.620 that people are already
00:34:58.800 primed to believe
00:35:00.640 is true,
00:35:01.820 and you just want to give
00:35:02.640 them some red meat
00:35:03.480 that it is true.
00:35:05.180 So they'll,
00:35:05.980 they'll either go,
00:35:06.740 it'll either be
00:35:07.420 fake racism,
00:35:08.900 fake sexism,
00:35:10.700 at least,
00:35:12.420 at least the allegation
00:35:13.360 will be fake,
00:35:14.480 you know,
00:35:14.840 I think it'll be
00:35:17.040 one of those.
00:35:19.980 All right.
00:35:21.440 What do you think
00:35:22.140 of Kamala Harris's
00:35:23.360 surgery on her,
00:35:26.760 it looks like she had
00:35:27.660 cosmetic surgery
00:35:28.660 of some type.
00:35:30.220 Have you noticed it?
00:35:31.980 Because,
00:35:32.600 I guess,
00:35:33.640 she,
00:35:33.960 when she appeared
00:35:34.680 on camera before
00:35:35.620 it was fully healed,
00:35:36.960 and she looked a little,
00:35:37.960 a little not herself,
00:35:41.440 and
00:35:41.860 my expert told me
00:35:44.260 that that's going to
00:35:45.360 look really good
00:35:46.000 pretty soon.
00:35:47.320 And I would do,
00:35:48.480 I would say that
00:35:49.280 she,
00:35:51.320 she did take some years
00:35:53.360 off of her appearance.
00:35:54.500 so I would say
00:35:57.040 it did make her look 0.56
00:36:01.400 younger,
00:36:02.540 and so I think
00:36:03.100 that's good,
00:36:03.620 but it also made her
00:36:04.260 look different,
00:36:05.600 which is the whole point,
00:36:07.020 to look different.
00:36:07.940 I'm not entirely sure
00:36:09.340 that it was an upgrade,
00:36:12.440 but what do you think?
00:36:14.060 Probably was.
00:36:15.200 Took a few years off her.
00:36:16.520 All right,
00:36:24.740 yes,
00:36:25.320 $800,000 to each
00:36:26.380 black person now.
00:36:28.500 So,
00:36:28.980 Hawk Newsome says
00:36:29.880 that
00:36:30.240 every white person
00:36:32.040 owes every black person 0.98
00:36:33.280 $800,000.
00:36:35.620 Well,
00:36:37.220 with all due respect,
00:36:39.620 I don't know
00:36:40.180 if Hawk Newsome
00:36:41.220 is
00:36:41.660 as good
00:36:43.360 with accounting
00:36:43.980 as he is
00:36:44.740 with activism.
00:36:47.140 He's good
00:36:47.840 with this activism stuff,
00:36:49.880 but
00:36:50.120 this is an interesting question.
00:36:53.360 If you were going
00:36:54.180 to calculate
00:36:55.300 how much reparation
00:36:57.740 should be,
00:36:58.820 how would you
00:36:59.560 calculate that?
00:37:00.780 Because what would you
00:37:01.800 compare it to?
00:37:03.000 Because that's the key,
00:37:04.460 right?
00:37:05.140 The accurate comparison
00:37:06.820 would be
00:37:08.120 if slavery happened
00:37:09.720 versus whether
00:37:10.600 it had not happened.
00:37:12.060 So you'd have to say
00:37:12.940 for those people
00:37:13.840 who were put
00:37:15.520 into slavery
00:37:16.180 and then therefore
00:37:18.000 their descendants
00:37:18.720 who were in the United States,
00:37:20.860 what would happen
00:37:22.460 if that had not happened?
00:37:24.060 Would they have been
00:37:24.720 better off?
00:37:25.700 So you would compare
00:37:26.580 it to what their life
00:37:27.680 would have been
00:37:28.340 had there been
00:37:29.700 no slavery.
00:37:30.720 And what their life
00:37:31.700 would have been
00:37:32.140 would have been
00:37:32.600 life in the African continent.
00:37:35.220 Because if there had been
00:37:35.940 no slavery,
00:37:36.620 that's where the
00:37:37.460 descendants would be.
00:37:38.300 So the proper
00:37:40.160 analysis,
00:37:41.760 which is not
00:37:42.620 very popular,
00:37:44.460 the proper
00:37:45.620 but not
00:37:46.340 popular
00:37:47.880 analysis
00:37:48.480 would be
00:37:49.080 how much money
00:37:50.580 would you have made
00:37:51.380 if you'd
00:37:52.140 still been there?
00:37:54.240 Now there's the
00:37:54.960 second thing,
00:37:55.520 which is the pain
00:37:56.160 and suffering
00:37:56.640 of slavery itself.
00:37:59.180 But typically
00:38:00.060 we don't
00:38:01.380 compensate
00:38:02.160 people who have
00:38:03.300 long passed.
00:38:04.400 So if you look
00:38:06.220 at the Japanese
00:38:07.100 internment
00:38:07.860 situation,
00:38:09.180 I believe
00:38:09.700 the reparations
00:38:10.700 for that
00:38:11.220 only went to
00:38:12.520 living people
00:38:13.620 who had been
00:38:14.380 in the camps
00:38:15.980 in World War II
00:38:17.460 when the Japanese 0.91
00:38:18.480 American citizens
00:38:19.920 were rounded up
00:38:20.800 and tragically
00:38:21.680 put in camps.
00:38:23.100 By the way,
00:38:23.720 an old
00:38:24.560 girlfriend of mine
00:38:26.180 from years ago,
00:38:27.740 her brother
00:38:28.240 had been in
00:38:28.760 one of those camps.
00:38:30.300 So the issue
00:38:31.920 of the Japanese
00:38:32.580 internment stuff
00:38:33.440 is really close
00:38:34.620 to me
00:38:34.980 because I
00:38:35.560 personally knew,
00:38:36.960 I don't know,
00:38:38.800 I probably
00:38:39.360 personally knew
00:38:40.580 ten people
00:38:42.320 who were in
00:38:42.800 those camps.
00:38:43.920 Think about that.
00:38:45.260 I personally
00:38:45.880 knew,
00:38:46.820 personally,
00:38:47.960 spent lots
00:38:48.680 of time with
00:38:49.120 them,
00:38:49.720 ten people
00:38:50.600 who were put
00:38:51.820 in prison camps
00:38:52.720 by the government
00:38:53.480 of the United
00:38:54.020 States
00:38:54.520 for exactly
00:38:55.760 zero,
00:38:57.120 nothing.
00:38:58.100 They were just
00:38:58.700 Japanese,
00:38:59.580 Japanese-Americans.
00:39:00.660 They weren't even
00:39:01.080 Japanese,
00:39:01.660 they were Americans.
00:39:03.440 And that's
00:39:04.700 a hell of a thing.
00:39:07.480 Now,
00:39:08.500 in that case,
00:39:09.260 I think reparations
00:39:10.060 were completely
00:39:11.400 understandable,
00:39:12.580 but they were
00:39:12.980 far less
00:39:13.780 than they should
00:39:14.460 have been.
00:39:15.220 Because when
00:39:15.840 the Japanese
00:39:16.680 citizens were
00:39:17.360 put in the
00:39:17.740 internment camps,
00:39:19.000 they often
00:39:19.500 left property
00:39:21.260 behind with
00:39:22.700 nobody to take
00:39:23.440 care of it
00:39:23.880 because it was
00:39:24.520 their family
00:39:25.140 home or
00:39:26.300 family property.
00:39:28.320 And when they
00:39:29.020 were in the
00:39:29.320 internment camps,
00:39:30.140 white people
00:39:30.780 just stole it.
00:39:31.520 they just
00:39:32.620 stole it.
00:39:33.500 So there
00:39:33.980 were people
00:39:34.300 who owned
00:39:34.760 property who
00:39:35.540 when they
00:39:35.840 got out of
00:39:36.180 the camps
00:39:36.500 no longer
00:39:37.080 owned it.
00:39:37.880 And they
00:39:38.320 had no
00:39:38.620 recourse.
00:39:39.600 It just
00:39:39.980 wasn't theirs
00:39:40.560 anymore.
00:39:42.500 So when
00:39:43.100 they got
00:39:43.420 their little
00:39:44.020 checks of
00:39:45.160 I don't know
00:39:45.580 $15,000 or
00:39:47.080 whatever it
00:39:47.500 turned out to
00:39:47.960 be,
00:39:48.540 it wasn't
00:39:49.260 really,
00:39:50.760 it was not
00:39:51.400 really close
00:39:52.000 to compensating
00:39:52.800 what a lot
00:39:53.400 of them lost.
00:39:54.340 Now,
00:39:54.720 if you go
00:39:55.040 back to
00:39:55.500 slavery and
00:39:56.960 reparations,
00:39:58.300 if you take
00:39:59.000 the standard
00:39:59.500 that you
00:39:59.860 don't compensate
00:40:00.580 people who
00:40:01.280 are already
00:40:01.800 dead,
00:40:02.840 like the
00:40:03.720 Japanese
00:40:04.120 internment
00:40:04.620 camp situation,
00:40:06.560 and you
00:40:07.100 only compensate
00:40:07.740 the living,
00:40:08.800 then the
00:40:09.420 calculation is
00:40:10.260 how are those
00:40:10.780 people doing
00:40:11.320 in the United
00:40:11.840 States in
00:40:12.780 terms of
00:40:13.300 standard of
00:40:13.920 living,
00:40:14.560 income,
00:40:15.140 wealth,
00:40:15.580 etc.,
00:40:16.320 compared to
00:40:17.080 what would
00:40:17.520 have happened
00:40:18.000 if their
00:40:19.580 family from
00:40:20.680 long ago
00:40:21.300 had been in
00:40:22.440 Africa.
00:40:23.200 So that would
00:40:23.720 be the proper
00:40:24.300 analysis.
00:40:25.420 In which case,
00:40:26.600 then the second
00:40:27.160 thing you'd have
00:40:27.640 to do is
00:40:28.180 you'd have to
00:40:28.580 calculate any
00:40:29.300 social benefits
00:40:30.340 that were,
00:40:32.180 let's say,
00:40:33.280 beyond the
00:40:33.940 average.
00:40:35.360 You'd have to
00:40:35.820 figure out what
00:40:36.340 was beyond
00:40:37.220 some normal
00:40:37.920 amount.
00:40:38.940 But you'd
00:40:39.360 probably have to
00:40:39.760 figure out that
00:40:40.620 and then you'd
00:40:41.500 have to take
00:40:41.860 the cost of,
00:40:43.420 I don't know,
00:40:43.860 would you have
00:40:44.860 to calculate
00:40:45.600 the cost of
00:40:46.560 the prison
00:40:47.880 system,
00:40:49.340 the cost of
00:40:50.160 any welfare
00:40:51.000 payments or
00:40:51.860 any property
00:40:52.720 crimes?
00:40:53.780 Would you
00:40:54.240 calculate the
00:40:54.900 cost of
00:40:55.580 the riots?
00:40:56.920 would those
00:40:58.340 all be in
00:40:58.760 the calculation?
00:41:00.140 They should
00:41:00.680 be.
00:41:01.640 So if you
00:41:02.240 did it
00:41:02.580 right,
00:41:04.380 and by
00:41:04.720 right I
00:41:05.240 mean not
00:41:05.740 socially right,
00:41:06.720 this would
00:41:07.080 be socially
00:41:07.880 completely wrong,
00:41:09.480 but economically
00:41:11.380 it would be
00:41:12.840 accurate to
00:41:14.140 say that
00:41:14.920 there's probably
00:41:15.620 no money
00:41:16.440 owed if
00:41:17.740 you did an
00:41:18.220 actual thing.
00:41:19.820 Now, in
00:41:20.280 terms of the
00:41:20.940 evil of it,
00:41:22.700 the evil of
00:41:23.480 slavery is
00:41:24.160 uncontested.
00:41:25.140 well, I
00:41:26.980 mean nobody's
00:41:27.500 arguing that
00:41:28.100 it's evil,
00:41:29.000 isn't evil.
00:41:30.660 So that part
00:41:31.480 is true,
00:41:32.040 it's just that
00:41:32.560 we don't
00:41:32.940 compensate people
00:41:34.360 who have
00:41:34.700 passed.
00:41:35.280 It just
00:41:35.620 doesn't work
00:41:36.080 that way.
00:41:36.600 You couldn't
00:41:37.020 really have a
00:41:37.600 civilization
00:41:38.160 where everybody
00:41:39.980 who is already
00:41:41.300 dead gets
00:41:42.800 compensated for
00:41:43.720 something that
00:41:44.240 happened while
00:41:45.240 they were
00:41:45.500 alive.
00:41:46.540 Because how
00:41:47.240 far back
00:41:47.720 would you
00:41:48.000 go?
00:41:48.280 Would you
00:41:48.780 go back,
00:41:49.420 I mean,
00:41:50.460 you know,
00:41:51.180 we have a
00:41:52.140 civilization where
00:41:53.000 people are
00:41:53.980 living on
00:41:54.400 lands that
00:41:54.840 were conquered
00:41:55.320 three,
00:41:55.860 four,
00:41:56.200 five times.
00:41:59.920 Somebody says,
00:42:00.660 a friend got
00:42:01.240 $21,000 but
00:42:02.360 wished his
00:42:02.820 parents had
00:42:03.360 lived to
00:42:03.760 see it.
00:42:04.500 Yeah,
00:42:04.780 not just
00:42:05.220 lived to
00:42:05.660 see it.
00:42:07.520 Well,
00:42:07.920 you know,
00:42:08.280 actually,
00:42:09.440 it wasn't
00:42:10.300 even about
00:42:10.740 the money
00:42:11.200 exactly.
00:42:12.140 It was more
00:42:12.720 about the
00:42:13.160 acknowledgement.
00:42:14.140 And I
00:42:14.420 think that
00:42:14.720 meant a lot
00:42:15.240 to the
00:42:15.580 Japanese
00:42:16.100 American
00:42:16.680 community.
00:42:17.240 by the
00:42:22.260 way,
00:42:23.780 Hawk
00:42:24.540 Newsome
00:42:24.940 should
00:42:25.200 not
00:42:25.440 be
00:42:25.660 underestimated
00:42:26.500 because the
00:42:28.400 fact that
00:42:28.860 you were
00:42:29.200 begging me to
00:42:30.300 say something
00:42:30.920 about him
00:42:31.540 is what
00:42:32.620 makes him
00:42:33.040 effective.
00:42:34.620 Meaning that
00:42:35.620 he triggered
00:42:37.280 you so that
00:42:38.440 you just
00:42:38.880 needed me to
00:42:39.560 say something
00:42:40.020 about him
00:42:40.600 and that
00:42:42.140 triggering is
00:42:42.780 what makes
00:42:43.120 him good.
00:42:43.500 so in
00:42:45.660 the same
00:42:46.000 way that
00:42:46.420 I can
00:42:46.880 consistently
00:42:48.880 praise Trump
00:42:50.440 and even
00:42:51.340 Kaepernick
00:42:52.120 and AOC,
00:42:53.700 I give the
00:42:54.540 same props
00:42:55.140 to Hawk
00:42:56.200 Newsome,
00:42:57.120 he does
00:42:57.780 know how to
00:42:58.220 get your
00:42:58.540 attention.
00:42:59.360 And that's
00:42:59.760 a really big
00:43:00.820 part of what
00:43:01.220 he's trying
00:43:01.520 to do.
00:43:02.480 So if he
00:43:03.160 got your
00:43:03.500 attention,
00:43:04.100 he did his
00:43:04.660 job.
00:43:05.660 And that
00:43:06.240 was obviously
00:43:06.940 what he was
00:43:07.340 trying to
00:43:07.700 do.
00:43:09.220 And he's
00:43:10.720 also making
00:43:11.280 a big first
00:43:11.960 offer.
00:43:13.500 If you
00:43:14.900 hear that
00:43:15.260 number,
00:43:15.640 $800,000
00:43:16.400 per person,
00:43:17.780 and then
00:43:18.180 someday it
00:43:18.720 got negotiated
00:43:19.460 down to
00:43:19.980 $15,000,
00:43:21.360 wouldn't you
00:43:23.220 say to
00:43:23.460 yourself,
00:43:24.260 $15,000
00:43:25.200 doesn't sound
00:43:25.780 so bad.
00:43:26.300 I was
00:43:26.500 worried it
00:43:26.880 was going
00:43:27.140 to be
00:43:27.320 $800,000.
00:43:28.660 So making
00:43:29.540 a big
00:43:29.980 first offer
00:43:32.780 and also
00:43:33.480 being provocative,
00:43:35.140 that's all
00:43:36.320 good.
00:43:37.700 He knows
00:43:38.380 how to do
00:43:38.860 this.
00:43:39.220 None of
00:43:39.580 this is an
00:43:40.020 accident.
00:43:41.000 Don't
00:43:41.280 confuse a
00:43:42.360 Hawk.
00:43:43.500 With maybe
00:43:44.040 some
00:43:44.380 protester
00:43:44.940 on the
00:43:45.320 street who
00:43:46.040 is less
00:43:46.500 sophisticated
00:43:47.060 and just
00:43:47.780 spewing crazy
00:43:48.920 stuff.
00:43:49.880 When Hawk
00:43:50.680 says something
00:43:51.280 that sounds
00:43:51.760 crazy, he
00:43:53.260 knows it.
00:43:54.820 That's
00:43:55.340 different.
00:43:56.420 If it's a 0.59
00:43:57.080 person on the
00:43:57.640 street who's
00:43:58.240 spewing crazy
00:43:58.960 stuff, they
00:44:00.660 may not know
00:44:01.260 it.
00:44:01.560 They may not
00:44:02.020 be sophisticated
00:44:02.800 enough to
00:44:03.580 know that what
00:44:04.000 they're asking
00:44:04.440 for is
00:44:05.060 unreasonable.
00:44:06.200 But Hawk
00:44:06.560 knows.
00:44:07.860 I mean, he's
00:44:08.500 a trained
00:44:09.520 attorney.
00:44:10.360 He's lived in 0.95
00:44:11.300 the real world.
00:44:11.900 He knows what
00:44:12.320 he's doing.
00:44:13.480 So in
00:44:13.980 terms of
00:44:14.480 capability,
00:44:16.240 don't
00:44:17.200 underestimate
00:44:17.720 him.
00:44:18.260 That would
00:44:18.540 be a
00:44:18.780 mistake.
00:44:21.880 All right.
00:44:22.880 That's all
00:44:23.380 I've got for
00:44:23.680 now.
00:44:24.140 I'm going
00:44:24.380 to go enjoy
00:44:27.160 my day and
00:44:27.960 keep an eye
00:44:28.560 on the fires
00:44:29.100 and see if
00:44:29.840 I've got to
00:44:30.160 go home.
00:44:31.240 But thanks
00:44:31.980 for joining
00:44:32.360 me.
00:44:33.460 I might see
00:44:34.200 you on the
00:44:34.560 floor tomorrow
00:44:35.100 or not.
00:44:36.780 That's all
00:44:37.300 for now.
