Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1105 Scott Adams： RNC Night Three, Video HOAXES, Hurricanes and Persuasion, Strategy and Riots

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in. It's time. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams. The best time of the day. Yeah, it is.

00:00:21.300 And all you need to enjoy this incredible experience is not much, really. All it takes is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I'm partial to coffee.

00:00:40.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the day, the thing that makes everything better, except riots, apparently. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.

00:00:57.560 Ah. No, I was wrong. It did make the riots a little bit better. You might not notice it with all the fake news, but I'm pretty sure there was a benefit there.

00:01:07.280 Well, I was at first happy to hear the report that there were no deaths from Hurricane Laura, but the update is there is a 14-year-old who lost his life. So that is tragic.

00:01:24.760 And while not downplaying the loss of life, it is remarkable that there was that little bit, that the loss of life was small.

00:01:37.280 And part of the solution for that might be we're getting smarter, maybe we just have better communication.

00:01:44.760 Part of it was that it was predicted to be bigger than it was. So that's good news.

00:01:50.300 But I saw this bit of persuasion coming out of the local government trying to get people to evacuate.

00:01:57.780 And listen to how good this persuasion is.

00:02:02.800 This is as good as you can persuade.

00:02:06.860 They announced, before the waters came to try to get everybody to leave, they said, quote,

00:02:12.220 Oh my God, that's good.

00:02:31.260 In fact, they should use this, the same exact line for every single situation where you're trying to get people to evacuate.

00:02:41.620 Because I've taught you that the strongest form of persuasion is fear.

00:02:47.840 So if you can make somebody afraid of something, there's nothing that's as good as that.

00:02:52.280 It might be used in a bad way, but there's nothing as effective as that, as scaring people.

00:02:59.000 But if you're going to scare people, you want to make it visual.

00:03:03.560 This is really visual.

00:03:04.980 You can imagine the baggie.

00:03:06.560 You can imagine yourself filling it out.

00:03:08.700 You can imagine putting it in your pocket because you think, well, how would I attach it to myself, put it in my pocket?

00:03:15.400 It's very visual.

00:03:17.560 It makes you deal with the question of how you would do it, which makes you think past the sale.

00:03:24.140 The sale is doing it, and you're thinking about how to do it.

00:03:28.020 Do I have a baggie?

00:03:29.900 Would that be good enough?

00:03:31.100 Whose name would I put on it?

00:03:33.260 Thinking past the sale, fear, visual, and then they put it in a story.

00:03:39.960 You could actually see the movie of this part of your life where you're getting the baggie, you're filling it out, you're putting it in your pocket.

00:03:48.160 And then here's the really powerful part.

00:03:52.180 You can see your own lifeless body being discovered, and they find the baggie in your pocket.

00:04:01.360 Try to top that.

00:04:03.680 Take the best persuader in the history of persuaders.

00:04:08.460 Try to top that.

00:04:10.480 You can't.

00:04:11.920 That's as good as you can persuade.

00:04:14.820 There's nothing left.

00:04:16.700 There's no money left on the table with this one.

00:04:19.040 This is putting it all out there.

00:04:20.620 Now, I don't know if the person who came up with this idea was trying to persuade an actually understood technique,

00:04:30.460 or it could be that this was simply a good idea, and it is a good idea, but it also has a persuasive element.

00:04:38.400 So I'd be very curious, whoever came up with this framing, if they had any actual training in persuasion.

00:04:44.980 Because if they hit this by accident, you know, if you stumbled across something this powerful, just randomly, I mean, it's possible.

00:04:56.580 Well, but I'd be surprised.

00:04:58.900 I think there's somebody who's got some skill, some serious skill who came up with that.

00:05:03.380 All right.

00:05:04.880 As you've noticed, the mainstream press, which is sort of a mainstream mess, is realizing that the poll numbers are plunging for Biden.

00:05:20.180 Again, the more violence there is, in the Midwest especially, that's the last place you'd want to have any violence,

00:05:28.180 because those are the battleground states for the election.

00:05:31.640 And I think Politico and CNN and you're seeing some other people say,

00:05:36.560 Hey, wait a minute, I don't think this rioting, slash protesting, slash looting, I don't think this is working in our favor.

00:05:48.400 And by the way, a public service announcement.

00:05:51.320 If I ever talk in a generality, such as there were looters in the city, or there were some bad eggs,

00:06:00.960 you should be smart enough to translate that into your head, try to follow along,

00:06:07.280 because I know my followers are smarter than the average.

00:06:11.080 You should translate that into your head into, he doesn't mean every single person.

00:06:17.280 Might not even mean most of them.

00:06:19.900 I might be talking about just the bad eggs and the bunch.

00:06:24.180 You should be able to handle the fact that when people use generalities that way,

00:06:29.320 they don't really mean every person.

00:06:32.180 It doesn't mean every person when I say it.

00:06:35.100 It doesn't mean every person when you say it.

00:06:37.740 It doesn't mean every single person when anybody says it.

00:06:42.020 So if you're going to be that idiot who says,

00:06:44.960 Oh, he says every single person.

00:06:47.360 Oh, every single person there was violent.

00:06:50.620 Oh, that's right, Scott.

00:06:52.160 Sure, every single person.

00:06:55.280 That is a case of using sarcasm instead of reasons.

00:06:59.380 Mixed with a little intentional, bad reading comprehension.

00:07:05.860 Here's the way the fake news is spinning Tucker Carlson's show last night.

00:07:11.500 So Tucker said, and I'll paraphrase,

00:07:13.840 but Tucker was essentially saying that nobody should be surprised

00:07:18.180 that a vigilante kind of a shooting or really just violence in general

00:07:23.720 came out of these protests slash looting slash riots.

00:07:29.380 Again, not every person was rioting.

00:07:33.840 Not every single person was looting.

00:07:36.480 Some of them were good.

00:07:38.440 Just in case there's anybody new to my periscopes who needed that little extra clarification.

00:07:44.540 Every once in a while, a Biden supporter floats in here not knowing what they're going to get.

00:07:48.940 So I like to make sure that they know what they're getting.

00:07:55.300 So, all right.

00:07:56.360 So Tucker makes the completely ordinary, obvious, clearly justifiable, non-provocative,

00:08:06.720 totally non-provocative statement that if you let this situation go on,

00:08:12.500 it's very predictable that it turns into two sides

00:08:16.580 and at least one of them is going to have guns,

00:08:19.600 probably both, as we saw in Kenosha.

00:08:23.440 There were guns on both sides.

00:08:25.020 Only one of them fired, it turns out.

00:08:28.160 So how controversial is it to say that it's predictable where this ends?

00:08:33.440 That's not predictable.

00:08:34.740 That's not controversial at all.

00:08:37.140 In fact, I think Tucker said something that 100% of people would agree with.

00:08:44.040 How can you be provocative saying things that everybody agrees with and is obvious?

00:08:49.680 That if you allow, you know, this chaos to continue,

00:08:55.080 the obvious conclusion is people getting killed.

00:08:58.520 Obviously.

00:08:59.840 That's not even a political statement.

00:09:02.100 That's just a statement of duh.

00:09:03.840 So how did the bad people in the fake news business spin it?

00:09:09.880 Well, here we have somebody from Politico, Blake Hounchel.

00:09:15.740 He's the editorial director of the website Politico.

00:09:20.100 And he says, quote,

00:09:21.740 Vigilante violence was always one of my greatest worries about the present moment,

00:09:26.940 tweeted Blake Hasnell.

00:09:27.960 Now, keep in mind, he just completely agreed with Tucker Carlson

00:09:33.100 because he said, Vigilante violence was always my greatest worry,

00:09:37.660 meaning it was predictable.

00:09:41.240 Predictable.

00:09:41.840 That's what Tucker said.

00:09:43.080 So now he's completely agreed with Tucker.

00:09:45.300 So we're done, right?

00:09:47.540 There's nothing else to say.

00:09:48.820 He just agreed with what Tucker said.

00:09:51.020 Oh, no.

00:09:51.600 He continues.

00:09:53.140 And he goes, talking about Tucker, he goes,

00:09:55.040 and here we have a prominent TV host,

00:09:57.380 a man who had the president's ear excusing it,

00:10:01.540 rationalizing it,

00:10:03.100 no, nothing like that happened.

00:10:08.040 It's not rationalizing something to predict it

00:10:12.360 because you know who else predicted it?

00:10:14.700 The guy who's criticizing Tucker Carlson.

00:10:17.880 It's the most ridiculous criticism in the world.

00:10:20.820 He agrees with him and then he criticizes him

00:10:23.480 without any awareness that they have the same opinion.

00:10:27.460 Incredible.

00:10:28.020 Is he the only one who is this blind to the obvious?

00:10:32.040 No.

00:10:33.020 Turns out that Nicole Hannah-Jones,

00:10:36.980 who is a New York Times magazine reporter

00:10:39.360 who won the Pulitzer Prize

00:10:40.980 for her work on the 1619 project,

00:10:44.520 which you've heard of,

00:10:45.420 What was her opinion of Tucker's point of view?

00:10:49.440 Quote,

00:10:49.880 He just justified murder.

00:10:53.000 No.

00:10:54.420 Nothing like that happened.

00:10:57.020 Nobody justified murder.

00:11:00.120 Not Tucker.

00:11:01.680 Not his listeners.

00:11:03.680 Not anybody.

00:11:04.680 Nothing even remotely like that happened.

00:11:08.200 How about Max Boot,

00:11:11.100 a conservative Washington Post columnist?

00:11:13.760 You can trust a conservative Washington Post columnist,

00:11:20.120 can't you?

00:11:21.640 Wait, he's a conservative?

00:11:23.000 But he tweeted that Carlson was,

00:11:27.800 Inciting violence and abetting terrorism.

00:11:32.020 Was he?

00:11:33.760 Because the video shows that the terrorists

00:11:36.480 are the ones who were chasing

00:11:37.960 and trying to physically hurt,

00:11:40.880 if not kill,

00:11:42.260 the person who ended up shooting in self-defense.

00:11:45.300 More on that in a minute.

00:11:47.420 But no, it wasn't anything like that.

00:11:50.320 He was just predicting.

00:11:53.000 As I have.

00:11:54.280 I have also predicted it,

00:11:56.840 but I don't encourage it.

00:11:59.360 It's just obvious it's going to happen,

00:12:00.960 and there's nothing else that could happen.

00:12:03.060 I'll go further than any of them,

00:12:06.080 which is to say,

00:12:07.040 it's guaranteed to happen.

00:12:09.180 You can't change that with your preference.

00:12:13.300 Tucker Carlson can't change the course of events

00:12:16.620 by wishing it wouldn't happen.

00:12:19.480 He can even encourage it not to happen.

00:12:21.560 And he could come out strongly against it happening.

00:12:24.380 It wouldn't make any difference.

00:12:25.900 It wouldn't make any difference.

00:12:28.000 Because the people who are doing stuff

00:12:29.700 are not watching Tucker Carlson

00:12:31.420 and saying,

00:12:32.060 well, there you go.

00:12:33.140 I'd better not do this thing I was going to do.

00:12:36.100 That's not a thing.

00:12:38.300 You know,

00:12:39.140 maybe you could change the minds

00:12:41.500 of some people who are on the fence

00:12:43.260 in some weird situations,

00:12:44.700 but in general,

00:12:45.860 it's not going to move the needle at all.

00:12:48.860 All right.

00:12:49.580 So that part is insane.

00:12:51.740 Let's talk about the RNC convention,

00:12:53.980 night three.

00:12:55.240 I would say it was another solid performance,

00:12:57.840 and I think everybody agreed.

00:12:59.300 I think the Democrats agreed.

00:13:01.360 I think the Republicans agreed.

00:13:02.940 And I would go even further

00:13:06.900 than to say it was solid.

00:13:10.260 There were some standout,

00:13:12.280 really, star turns.

00:13:13.980 I thought Jack Brewer,

00:13:15.860 because it's 2020

00:13:18.860 and you have to specify these things.

00:13:20.940 Can we get to the point in history

00:13:24.560 where if you have the first black female

00:13:28.980 inspector general of the post office,

00:13:32.180 I don't know,

00:13:32.560 maybe that's already happened,

00:13:34.220 that we don't make it a story

00:13:35.520 that it's the first black female

00:13:37.380 who has got this particular job.

00:13:40.760 Can't we get past that?

00:13:43.080 Can't we get to the point where we say,

00:13:45.040 why wouldn't she get the job?

00:13:47.280 Can't we get to the point where we say,

00:13:48.880 something, you know,

00:13:51.680 we're glad it's happening.

00:13:53.920 But why is it news?

00:13:55.780 Is there somebody on the other side of this

00:13:57.700 who doesn't think that,

00:13:59.200 in my hypothetical example,

00:14:01.080 is there someone who doesn't think

00:14:02.340 a black woman can get a good job

00:14:04.100 when all evidence clearly shows

00:14:07.040 that they're succeeding at the highest levels,

00:14:09.820 especially in Congress?

00:14:10.900 They're killing it in Congress.

00:14:12.820 So why do we make this news?

00:14:15.860 I feel like we've reached the point

00:14:17.440 where talking about it

00:14:18.620 makes it worse.

00:14:20.040 You know, when it's,

00:14:20.860 if you go back 20 years

00:14:22.140 or even 10 years, I suppose,

00:14:24.280 yeah, it's worth mentioning.

00:14:26.120 You know, it's definitely worth mentioning

00:14:27.420 if you get the first,

00:14:29.220 let's say,

00:14:29.920 whatever group for president

00:14:32.000 or vice president,

00:14:33.160 even for, you know,

00:14:34.780 for Congress.

00:14:35.560 I think that that's fair

00:14:36.760 to point out somebody,

00:14:38.780 you know,

00:14:39.180 getting a powerful position.

00:14:40.440 But at some point,

00:14:43.060 we just have to stop calling out

00:14:44.420 people's race

00:14:46.100 for the news story.

00:14:48.320 It just needs to be less important

00:14:51.180 and we're all going to be better off,

00:14:52.840 I think,

00:14:53.580 both for the good news

00:14:55.320 and the bad news.

00:14:56.520 Anyway,

00:14:57.500 Jack Brewer,

00:14:58.920 African-American man,

00:15:00.760 was very pro-Trump

00:15:02.080 and the part that stood out,

00:15:04.600 aside from the fact

00:15:05.500 that he's really good on camera,

00:15:09.040 I mean,

00:15:09.340 you know there's some people

00:15:10.560 who you put them on camera

00:15:11.640 and they just disappear?

00:15:13.320 And then there are other people

00:15:14.580 who just not only light up the screen,

00:15:18.000 but they seem to enter your,

00:15:19.460 they enter your space.

00:15:21.820 That's what Trump does.

00:15:23.560 Trump doesn't just light up the screen

00:15:25.680 when you're watching him.

00:15:27.160 He's in your house.

00:15:29.180 I mean,

00:15:29.400 he gets off the screen,

00:15:30.460 he gets in your bones,

00:15:31.620 he's in your DNA.

00:15:33.200 And, you know,

00:15:33.800 I'm not sure that you can,

00:15:35.760 you can't really coach somebody

00:15:37.540 to do that,

00:15:38.380 I don't think.

00:15:39.140 You can make somebody

00:15:39.900 better at communicating.

00:15:41.440 But whatever that thing is

00:15:42.920 that Trump has

00:15:44.260 that makes him light up the screen

00:15:45.720 and then leave the screen

00:15:46.780 and enter your house,

00:15:48.840 that just comes along

00:15:49.840 once every,

00:15:50.720 who knows.

00:15:51.220 But Jack Brewer has

00:15:53.300 a strong version

00:15:55.040 of that thing,

00:15:56.440 that charisma,

00:15:58.040 that natural star power,

00:16:00.000 I guess you'd call it.

00:16:01.200 And it was interesting

00:16:02.520 to watch that.

00:16:03.400 But the point that I,

00:16:04.700 I was most interested in

00:16:07.420 is that he directly debunked

00:16:09.700 the fine people hoax.

00:16:11.960 Does it make a matter?

00:16:13.360 Does it matter

00:16:14.020 that he is a black man

00:16:15.980 who debunked

00:16:17.300 the fine people hoax?

00:16:18.680 Yeah, it matters.

00:16:20.100 It matters a lot.

00:16:21.220 You know,

00:16:22.060 I had challenged

00:16:22.920 anybody who believes

00:16:24.440 this hoax

00:16:24.980 to find me anybody

00:16:26.400 in leadership

00:16:27.220 in Israel

00:16:28.560 who thinks it was true

00:16:30.520 under the theory

00:16:32.420 that if Israel

00:16:33.880 doesn't think

00:16:34.740 that the president

00:16:35.800 was praising

00:16:36.740 these people

00:16:37.320 who are anti-Semitic,

00:16:38.740 if Israel didn't see it,

00:16:41.180 they've got pretty,

00:16:42.440 pretty good filters

00:16:43.560 on this stuff.

00:16:44.860 I don't think

00:16:45.820 they'd let it go.

00:16:46.720 At the very least,

00:16:48.940 they would have said,

00:16:49.840 hey, could you clarify this?

00:16:51.680 We're worried

00:16:52.600 that you were supporting them.

00:16:54.340 Anything like that?

00:16:56.180 Anything like that?

00:16:57.180 No.

00:16:58.240 Because Israel

00:16:59.100 is not taken in

00:17:00.580 by the fake news

00:17:01.680 that so many of us are.

00:17:05.500 So,

00:17:06.260 watching a black man

00:17:08.660 who had tremendous,

00:17:11.000 just star power,

00:17:12.420 really impressive,

00:17:13.120 to watch him

00:17:15.060 light up the screen

00:17:16.280 and to some extent,

00:17:17.580 not quite a

00:17:18.140 President Trump level,

00:17:19.760 but come into your life,

00:17:21.740 you know,

00:17:22.040 he leaves the screen as well.

00:17:24.400 To see him debunk that

00:17:25.560 was useful,

00:17:27.180 but what happened?

00:17:27.980 The fake news

00:17:28.620 immediately fact-checked him.

00:17:30.660 They fact-checked him

00:17:31.700 incorrectly

00:17:32.660 and said,

00:17:33.880 no, he got that wrong.

00:17:36.060 There's just nothing

00:17:36.940 you can do

00:17:37.660 if the fake news

00:17:39.960 has a news silo,

00:17:42.160 which they do,

00:17:43.660 and nobody gets

00:17:44.400 outside of that

00:17:45.080 so they don't see

00:17:45.740 the other argument.

00:17:46.760 They can just fact-check it.

00:17:48.600 So, CNN

00:17:49.140 ran much

00:17:51.500 or most of the

00:17:52.500 RNC convention

00:17:53.860 on their network.

00:17:55.840 So,

00:17:56.280 if you're wondering

00:17:57.740 why the polls

00:17:58.560 are moving,

00:18:00.080 let me just put this idea

00:18:01.320 in your head

00:18:01.900 and you're going to laugh

00:18:03.280 that you haven't seen

00:18:04.880 somebody say this yet.

00:18:06.060 Unless you have.

00:18:06.760 Maybe somebody said this.

00:18:07.860 I haven't seen it.

00:18:09.080 Think about this.

00:18:09.960 CNN

00:18:11.480 carrying

00:18:12.280 the Republican convention

00:18:14.620 was the first time

00:18:17.100 a lot of CNN viewers

00:18:20.580 had seen

00:18:21.380 actual news,

00:18:23.340 meaning the other

00:18:24.340 side of the story.

00:18:25.600 They've seen

00:18:26.220 a version of the,

00:18:27.380 you know,

00:18:27.640 filtered through

00:18:28.200 the fake news

00:18:29.120 messaging,

00:18:31.700 but they've never seen,

00:18:33.120 they've never even heard

00:18:34.000 the other argument.

00:18:35.500 They've never seen

00:18:36.600 a picture of Republicans

00:18:37.840 looking like

00:18:39.060 they have empathy.

00:18:40.460 I don't think people

00:18:41.360 knew there were

00:18:41.840 black Republicans.

00:18:43.180 I mean,

00:18:43.620 of course they knew

00:18:44.420 on some level,

00:18:45.400 but I don't think

00:18:46.060 that they knew

00:18:46.540 that there were

00:18:47.020 black Republicans

00:18:47.920 who are so powerful

00:18:51.300 that, you know,

00:18:52.720 we're talking about them

00:18:53.560 as the next president.

00:18:55.200 You know,

00:18:55.740 if you were,

00:18:56.460 if you were a Democrat

00:18:58.060 who had only watched

00:18:59.000 the fake news

00:18:59.960 and you'd never seen

00:19:00.740 any Republican messaging,

00:19:02.480 counter-messaging,

00:19:04.240 you know,

00:19:04.700 any of the strengths,

00:19:05.980 if you'd never seen

00:19:06.740 any of that,

00:19:08.040 what did you think

00:19:08.960 when Tim Scott

00:19:09.800 got up there

00:19:10.420 and gave his,

00:19:11.800 you know,

00:19:12.460 incredible speech?

00:19:13.960 Did you say to yourself,

00:19:15.140 who's he?

00:19:16.940 Probably.

00:19:18.200 You probably said,

00:19:19.220 who's he?

00:19:19.660 I didn't know

00:19:20.080 there were any

00:19:20.500 black Republicans.

00:19:21.420 and when,

00:19:22.580 you know,

00:19:23.280 Jack,

00:19:23.660 when Jack Brewster,

00:19:26.380 Brewer,

00:19:26.940 I'm sorry,

00:19:27.780 Jack Brewer

00:19:28.600 was talking last night,

00:19:30.320 how many people

00:19:31.420 said,

00:19:32.780 wait a minute,

00:19:33.620 why is a black guy

00:19:34.960 saying that

00:19:36.360 the fine people

00:19:37.340 thing was a hoax?

00:19:40.760 Do you think

00:19:41.440 it at least

00:19:42.260 caused some curiosity

00:19:44.580 in people saying,

00:19:46.260 hmm,

00:19:47.400 wonder why that would happen?

00:19:48.640 Because it would be

00:19:49.720 a strange thing

00:19:50.620 for him to claim

00:19:51.560 in public

00:19:52.020 if it could be

00:19:52.740 so easily

00:19:53.460 disproven

00:19:55.000 by just looking

00:19:55.800 at the transcript.

00:19:57.080 Of course,

00:19:57.760 if you do look

00:19:58.420 at the transcript,

00:19:59.260 you'll see

00:19:59.580 he's completely right.

00:20:01.500 Most people

00:20:02.120 only see the first part

00:20:03.220 that's misleading,

00:20:04.080 they don't read

00:20:04.480 the second part

00:20:05.040 of the transcript

00:20:05.580 that clarifies.

00:20:07.640 Anyway,

00:20:09.800 CNN made the mistake

00:20:11.820 of accidentally

00:20:12.820 allowing their people

00:20:14.460 to see Republican messaging

00:20:16.240 for the first time.

00:20:17.200 what should be

00:20:18.800 the predictable

00:20:19.720 outcome of that?

00:20:21.600 The predictable

00:20:22.560 outcome of that

00:20:23.940 should be

00:20:24.920 a little bit

00:20:26.480 of movement

00:20:26.840 on the poll.

00:20:27.960 It should be.

00:20:30.040 Now,

00:20:30.560 I don't know

00:20:30.960 that it works

00:20:31.480 the other way

00:20:32.100 because Fox News

00:20:33.340 can cover

00:20:33.960 the Democratic

00:20:35.620 Convention

00:20:36.200 and almost everything

00:20:38.140 that conservatives

00:20:39.240 hear

00:20:39.840 from the Democrats

00:20:42.800 is things

00:20:43.660 that they already know.

00:20:45.140 Now,

00:20:45.360 they may know

00:20:45.860 it's false

00:20:46.420 or they may know

00:20:47.080 it's true,

00:20:47.660 but they know

00:20:48.240 the story

00:20:48.760 and they know

00:20:49.540 the counter to it

00:20:50.800 if there is one.

00:20:52.040 So,

00:20:52.620 you should expect

00:20:53.660 that if both networks

00:20:55.040 carry both conventions

00:20:57.200 that one would get

00:20:58.700 a significant bump

00:21:00.260 in the polls

00:21:00.940 and one would not

00:21:02.360 because one is giving

00:21:04.120 no new information

00:21:05.140 to the public

00:21:06.740 and one is giving

00:21:07.860 a lot of new information

00:21:09.080 to the public

00:21:09.660 like a whole different world

00:21:12.040 you didn't think

00:21:12.740 was there.

00:21:13.360 It's like,

00:21:13.840 uh,

00:21:14.620 really?

00:21:16.240 Seriously?

00:21:17.220 Are you telling me

00:21:18.140 that President Trump

00:21:19.240 did all of these things

00:21:20.440 that are conspicuously

00:21:21.680 designed to be good

00:21:23.120 for the black voters

00:21:24.280 in this country?

00:21:25.760 Did they know that?

00:21:27.600 Well,

00:21:28.000 they know it now

00:21:28.680 if they watch

00:21:29.640 the convention

00:21:30.320 so it should make

00:21:31.100 a difference.

00:21:33.060 I thought it was

00:21:34.120 very interesting

00:21:34.940 and very smart

00:21:36.060 that Trump tweeted

00:21:37.720 a thank you

00:21:38.560 to CNN

00:21:39.240 for carrying

00:21:40.640 most of the

00:21:41.640 RNC

00:21:43.020 and there was

00:21:44.680 no joke in it.

00:21:46.560 I'm just,

00:21:47.080 just sort of

00:21:48.360 hold this in your head.

00:21:50.540 Trump tweeted

00:21:51.700 a thank you

00:21:52.820 to CNN

00:21:54.320 with no joke.

00:21:57.780 It was,

00:21:58.600 you know,

00:21:59.260 obviously he was doing it

00:22:00.380 for persuasion purposes

00:22:01.760 because,

00:22:03.280 you know,

00:22:03.580 I've told you

00:22:04.480 that one of the most

00:22:05.040 powerful persuasion

00:22:06.060 things you can do

00:22:06.900 is if somebody

00:22:08.300 is your critic,

00:22:09.400 you go as hard

00:22:10.400 as you can

00:22:10.900 against them

00:22:11.880 while they're

00:22:12.420 being a critic.

00:22:13.520 But the moment

00:22:14.460 they say something

00:22:15.400 that's not critical,

00:22:17.040 you should go

00:22:17.640 just as hard

00:22:18.540 in the other direction

00:22:19.380 to praise them

00:22:20.120 and thank them

00:22:21.560 and call it out

00:22:23.540 as good behavior.

00:22:25.120 That's good persuasion.

00:22:27.100 Trump does that

00:22:28.000 better than anybody.

00:22:30.740 And there's nobody

00:22:31.520 in the public sphere

00:22:32.840 who has ever done

00:22:34.240 that specific trick

00:22:35.720 of persuasion

00:22:36.520 as perfectly

00:22:38.400 as he does.

00:22:39.640 He will try

00:22:40.740 to bury you

00:22:41.700 if you're a critic,

00:22:43.080 but the moment

00:22:43.900 you're on his side,

00:22:45.740 it doesn't matter

00:22:46.240 what you do.

00:22:47.660 Right?

00:22:48.200 It doesn't matter

00:22:48.820 if you're Q,

00:22:50.580 it doesn't matter

00:22:51.520 what you are.

00:22:52.460 If you're on his side,

00:22:54.480 thank you.

00:22:55.440 I'm glad

00:22:55.840 you support America.

00:22:57.760 So that is

00:22:58.600 good persuasion.

00:22:59.660 It's, you know,

00:23:00.640 obviously persuasion,

00:23:01.900 but it's good persuasion.

00:23:03.240 So we learned

00:23:06.400 a bit about

00:23:08.860 the shooter

00:23:11.440 in Kenosha.

00:23:13.000 So as you know,

00:23:14.600 the 17-year-old

00:23:15.920 with the AR

00:23:16.900 shot and killed

00:23:19.380 two white people

00:23:20.480 and injured a third.

00:23:22.820 Again,

00:23:23.640 it's important

00:23:24.520 that they're all white,

00:23:26.000 the shooter

00:23:26.620 and the people

00:23:28.240 who got shot.

00:23:29.680 It shouldn't be important,

00:23:31.920 but it's 2020

00:23:33.060 so I have to

00:23:34.120 throw that in there.

00:23:35.160 That makes,

00:23:36.740 it's just disgusting

00:23:38.280 that mentioning

00:23:39.740 people's ethnicity

00:23:40.820 in a news story

00:23:41.920 should matter.

00:23:43.760 But it does.

00:23:44.800 It does in this case.

00:23:46.600 And so here's

00:23:48.320 what we know

00:23:48.740 about them.

00:23:49.320 This is Andy Ngo.

00:23:50.840 If you're not

00:23:51.280 following him,

00:23:52.020 his last name

00:23:52.680 is spelled N-G-O.

00:23:56.000 He's got

00:23:56.720 pretty much

00:23:57.440 all of the

00:23:58.060 useful information

00:24:00.740 about these

00:24:01.940 protests

00:24:03.600 and what

00:24:05.200 comes out of them.

00:24:06.540 And he reported

00:24:07.580 this morning

00:24:08.120 that one of them

00:24:09.460 was a 36-year-old.

00:24:10.920 He's the first one

00:24:11.720 who shot

00:24:12.220 and the video

00:24:13.920 shows him

00:24:14.520 chasing after

00:24:15.320 the shooter

00:24:15.840 and throwing

00:24:16.400 something at him.

00:24:17.340 In other words,

00:24:18.760 attacking him

00:24:19.600 with the risk

00:24:20.560 of grievous

00:24:21.720 bodily harm.

00:24:23.620 And if he got

00:24:24.760 shot for that,

00:24:26.160 and of course

00:24:26.580 we're still in fog

00:24:27.440 of war,

00:24:27.960 but that's

00:24:28.340 what it looks

00:24:29.080 like.

00:24:29.760 That was

00:24:30.120 self-defense.

00:24:31.840 Turns out

00:24:32.500 that the guy

00:24:32.960 he shot

00:24:33.320 was also,

00:24:34.460 coincidentally,

00:24:35.200 a registered

00:24:35.940 sex offender

00:24:36.880 for a sex

00:24:38.240 crime involving

00:24:39.300 a minor.

00:24:42.120 That's good

00:24:42.820 context to know,

00:24:43.800 isn't it?

00:24:45.120 How about

00:24:45.820 the next one?

00:24:46.740 The other one

00:24:47.320 was 26

00:24:48.780 and he was

00:24:49.600 shot.

00:24:51.260 And he was

00:24:51.960 filmed

00:24:52.960 chasing down

00:24:53.900 the teen

00:24:54.980 who did the

00:24:55.460 shooting

00:24:55.740 and hitting

00:24:56.700 that teen

00:24:57.320 when he

00:24:57.780 was on

00:24:58.100 the ground

00:24:58.640 with a

00:24:59.280 skateboard.

00:25:01.080 Now,

00:25:01.640 that was,

00:25:02.460 again,

00:25:03.140 risk of,

00:25:04.040 not risk of,

00:25:04.900 but grievous

00:25:05.560 bodily harm.

00:25:06.360 He actually

00:25:06.920 hit him.

00:25:08.100 And then

00:25:08.740 the teen

00:25:09.360 shot him

00:25:09.800 dead.

00:25:10.980 The person

00:25:12.100 who got

00:25:12.440 shot dead

00:25:13.060 has a

00:25:13.720 criminal

00:25:14.080 history

00:25:14.540 that includes

00:25:15.960 charges of

00:25:16.800 battery and

00:25:17.520 repeat

00:25:18.120 domestic

00:25:18.880 abuse.

00:25:20.780 So,

00:25:21.120 so far,

00:25:22.340 the kid

00:25:23.760 with a gun

00:25:24.320 shot a

00:25:24.940 registered

00:25:25.420 sex

00:25:25.840 offender

00:25:26.240 and

00:25:27.640 somebody

00:25:28.120 with

00:25:28.560 repeat

00:25:29.160 domestic

00:25:30.060 abuse

00:25:30.660 allegations.

00:25:32.160 Doesn't

00:25:32.700 mean they

00:25:32.980 were guilty.

00:25:34.260 They're

00:25:34.420 allegations.

00:25:36.060 The third

00:25:36.820 person who

00:25:37.280 was shot,

00:25:37.760 this one

00:25:38.180 survived,

00:25:39.080 he was

00:25:39.320 26,

00:25:40.260 and he's

00:25:40.820 a member

00:25:41.120 of the

00:25:41.440 People's

00:25:41.860 Revolution

00:25:42.400 Movement.

00:25:44.040 He was

00:25:44.580 photographed

00:25:44.900 with a

00:25:45.440 gun in

00:25:45.780 his hand.

00:25:46.520 I don't

00:25:46.760 know if

00:25:47.100 that was

00:25:47.720 real,

00:25:48.040 but it

00:25:48.200 looked like

00:25:48.540 it.

00:25:49.760 He was

00:25:50.220 filmed

00:25:50.460 chasing

00:25:50.840 after a

00:25:51.340 teen

00:25:51.620 with

00:25:52.220 a

00:25:52.400 pistol.

00:25:54.460 And he

00:25:55.940 was shot

00:25:56.300 at close

00:25:56.720 range in

00:25:57.280 the upper

00:25:57.620 arm.

00:25:58.580 Turns out

00:25:59.040 he also

00:25:59.620 has a

00:26:00.040 criminal

00:26:00.420 record

00:26:00.920 that

00:26:01.440 includes

00:26:01.880 being

00:26:02.160 intoxicated

00:26:03.040 and

00:26:03.380 armed

00:26:03.700 with a

00:26:04.100 gun.

00:26:05.780 So,

00:26:06.900 I said

00:26:08.280 quite

00:26:08.800 clearly

00:26:09.200 that I

00:26:10.840 don't

00:26:11.000 have,

00:26:11.860 I don't

00:26:12.340 care about

00:26:12.780 them.

00:26:13.660 I don't

00:26:14.300 care about

00:26:14.840 any of

00:26:15.300 the white

00:26:16.040 men,

00:26:16.900 because

00:26:17.320 again,

00:26:17.780 it's

00:26:17.980 20-20,

00:26:19.220 so in

00:26:19.540 order to

00:26:19.900 make a

00:26:20.600 statement

00:26:21.000 about

00:26:21.340 anything,

00:26:22.300 you've

00:26:22.580 got to

00:26:22.840 specify

00:26:23.360 their

00:26:23.800 ethnicity

00:26:24.580 and their

00:26:25.460 race.

00:26:26.460 So I

00:26:26.960 will.

00:26:27.380 Those are

00:26:27.720 the rules.

00:26:28.840 I don't

00:26:29.480 care about

00:26:29.840 those white

00:26:30.300 guys.

00:26:33.540 Somebody

00:26:34.020 said the

00:26:34.480 third guy

00:26:34.920 is unarmed.

00:26:36.160 I was

00:26:36.620 going to

00:26:36.860 make that

00:26:37.240 joke,

00:26:37.640 but it

00:26:37.860 sounded a

00:26:38.400 little too

00:26:38.880 cruel.

00:26:39.840 But I

00:26:40.160 don't mind

00:26:40.540 mentioning

00:26:40.920 it when

00:26:41.460 you did.

00:26:45.080 I don't

00:26:45.760 care about

00:26:46.240 them.

00:26:47.280 And let

00:26:47.660 me say

00:26:47.920 it as

00:26:48.160 directly

00:26:48.540 as

00:26:48.760 possible.

00:26:49.340 Their

00:26:49.540 lives

00:26:50.120 don't

00:26:50.520 matter

00:26:50.820 to

00:26:51.040 me.

00:26:52.520 Their

00:26:52.880 lives

00:26:53.400 don't

00:26:53.780 matter

00:26:54.140 because

00:26:54.720 they

00:26:54.920 made

00:26:55.180 choices

00:26:55.620 that

00:26:56.080 made

00:26:56.320 them

00:26:57.020 worthy

00:26:58.900 of

00:26:59.100 being

00:26:59.240 shot.

00:27:00.720 And it

00:27:01.580 wouldn't

00:27:01.720 matter

00:27:01.920 who it

00:27:02.680 was.

00:27:03.260 It

00:27:03.400 doesn't

00:27:03.580 matter

00:27:03.780 that

00:27:04.000 they're

00:27:04.180 white

00:27:04.520 men or

00:27:04.940 men or

00:27:05.380 women or

00:27:06.080 anything.

00:27:07.120 If they

00:27:07.720 made

00:27:08.000 choices

00:27:08.460 that

00:27:10.060 earned

00:27:10.800 them

00:27:11.220 getting

00:27:11.840 shot,

00:27:12.640 and that

00:27:12.860 looks like

00:27:13.700 what happened

00:27:14.220 as far as

00:27:14.800 we know.

00:27:15.320 I mean,

00:27:15.520 it could

00:27:15.740 change if

00:27:16.280 we learn

00:27:16.560 something else.

00:27:17.660 But if

00:27:18.100 they

00:27:18.220 made

00:27:18.420 those

00:27:18.640 choices,

00:27:19.120 I don't

00:27:19.300 care about

00:27:19.660 them.

00:27:20.420 I don't

00:27:20.680 care about

00:27:21.060 them at

00:27:21.340 all.

00:27:22.000 To me,

00:27:22.580 their lives

00:27:23.120 don't

00:27:23.500 matter.

00:27:24.980 Now,

00:27:25.580 I will

00:27:26.020 also extend

00:27:26.900 this concept

00:27:27.800 to anyone,

00:27:29.960 no matter

00:27:30.520 their race

00:27:31.180 or ethnicity

00:27:31.800 or gender

00:27:32.480 or age

00:27:33.220 or religion,

00:27:34.400 to anyone

00:27:35.320 who resists

00:27:36.220 arrest

00:27:37.600 and gets

00:27:39.040 shot,

00:27:39.840 even

00:27:41.120 even if

00:27:41.380 even if

00:27:41.400 the police

00:27:41.980 acted

00:27:42.820 inappropriately,

00:27:44.600 I don't

00:27:44.900 care about

00:27:45.340 them.

00:27:46.380 Their lives

00:27:47.060 literally

00:27:47.540 don't matter

00:27:48.060 to me.

00:27:49.220 Now,

00:27:49.600 it's hard

00:27:50.260 to say

00:27:50.540 that in

00:27:50.840 public.

00:27:51.600 And again,

00:27:52.060 I'm not

00:27:52.360 talking about

00:27:52.820 black lives

00:27:53.480 or white

00:27:53.960 lives or

00:27:54.620 blue lives

00:27:55.340 or any

00:27:55.620 other

00:27:55.860 specific

00:27:56.980 person.

00:27:58.240 Anybody

00:27:58.660 who makes

00:27:59.160 the choice

00:27:59.600 to resist

00:28:00.160 arrest

00:28:00.720 doesn't

00:28:01.940 matter to

00:28:02.440 me at

00:28:03.560 that point.

00:28:03.980 I totally

00:28:04.480 care about

00:28:04.980 their families

00:28:05.680 because there's

00:28:06.620 a lot of

00:28:06.980 pain that's

00:28:07.440 left behind.

00:28:08.080 That's bad.

00:28:09.020 I care about

00:28:09.580 anybody who

00:28:10.900 gets mistakenly

00:28:13.060 blamed for

00:28:13.600 something because

00:28:14.460 they get caught

00:28:15.180 up in the

00:28:15.600 political moment

00:28:16.420 of 2020.

00:28:17.640 I feel bad

00:28:18.180 for them.

00:28:19.820 And certainly

00:28:20.540 if anybody

00:28:21.040 made a mistake

00:28:21.920 or could have

00:28:22.860 done something

00:28:23.460 better,

00:28:24.000 that needs

00:28:24.540 to be addressed.

00:28:26.000 I'm not giving

00:28:26.800 police some

00:28:27.440 kind of a

00:28:27.840 pass to

00:28:28.420 shoo people.

00:28:29.580 They need

00:28:30.180 to do it

00:28:30.620 right.

00:28:31.340 And if there's

00:28:31.760 any way we

00:28:32.660 could do it

00:28:33.100 more right,

00:28:33.980 I'm all

00:28:34.740 for it.

00:28:35.680 I just

00:28:36.340 think that

00:28:37.200 as a

00:28:37.740 principle,

00:28:38.840 if you

00:28:39.260 allow people

00:28:40.080 to resist

00:28:41.760 arrest without

00:28:43.000 consequence,

00:28:44.480 and without

00:28:44.900 serious consequence,

00:28:46.240 including death,

00:28:47.340 if you allow

00:28:48.260 that to be

00:28:48.820 your new

00:28:49.280 standard,

00:28:50.100 that resisting

00:28:50.840 arrest can

00:28:52.360 be okay,

00:28:53.760 you have

00:28:54.580 created the

00:28:55.500 situation that

00:28:56.320 will destroy

00:28:57.080 civilization

00:28:57.820 itself.

00:28:59.180 Because

00:28:59.660 unfortunately

00:29:00.260 nobody's

00:29:00.920 figured out

00:29:01.420 how to

00:29:01.760 have a

00:29:02.440 civilization

00:29:03.120 without

00:29:04.840 some kind

00:29:05.480 of law

00:29:05.780 enforcement,

00:29:06.760 and you

00:29:06.980 can't have

00:29:07.300 law enforcement

00:29:07.960 if people

00:29:08.640 are allowed

00:29:09.480 to walk

00:29:10.400 away from

00:29:10.920 the arrest,

00:29:11.860 or if they're

00:29:12.540 allowed to

00:29:13.100 go pick up

00:29:13.760 a weapon

00:29:14.200 during the

00:29:15.360 middle of

00:29:15.720 an arrest.

00:29:16.680 Can you

00:29:17.240 let somebody

00:29:17.740 go into

00:29:18.480 their car

00:29:18.980 and pick

00:29:19.560 up their

00:29:19.920 weapon

00:29:20.280 while the

00:29:21.760 arrest is

00:29:22.200 in progress?

00:29:23.480 I don't

00:29:24.100 think so.

00:29:24.940 And let me

00:29:25.380 say as

00:29:25.720 clearly as

00:29:26.180 possible,

00:29:26.620 I don't

00:29:26.860 care about

00:29:27.260 that guy

00:29:27.700 who got

00:29:28.060 shot reaching

00:29:28.880 for his

00:29:29.340 knife.

00:29:30.060 I don't

00:29:30.340 care about

00:29:30.700 him.

00:29:30.860 I really

00:29:31.660 don't.

00:29:32.760 And it

00:29:33.280 has nothing

00:29:33.620 to do

00:29:33.860 with being

00:29:34.180 black or

00:29:34.780 being white.

00:29:35.520 It has

00:29:35.820 nothing to

00:29:36.400 do with

00:29:36.640 that.

00:29:37.700 He made

00:29:38.420 choices that

00:29:40.320 if he got

00:29:41.080 his way and

00:29:42.900 his supporters

00:29:43.680 got their

00:29:44.500 way,

00:29:45.660 resisting

00:29:46.120 arrest would

00:29:46.880 be, as a

00:29:48.440 de facto

00:29:48.960 kind of

00:29:49.740 real-world

00:29:51.220 case,

00:29:52.160 resisting

00:29:52.740 arrest would

00:29:53.260 be legalized

00:29:54.140 effectively if

00:29:55.840 you could do

00:29:56.260 it without

00:29:56.540 consequence.

00:29:58.160 And I'd

00:30:00.200 say in

00:30:00.580 that case,

00:30:01.640 I just

00:30:02.040 don't care

00:30:02.460 about him.

00:30:03.340 So I

00:30:04.740 couldn't say

00:30:05.260 that until

00:30:05.880 there were

00:30:06.460 some serious

00:30:07.780 white people

00:30:08.460 who got

00:30:08.860 killed that

00:30:10.000 I could say

00:30:10.440 I don't care

00:30:10.980 about too,

00:30:11.600 because otherwise

00:30:12.040 it gets

00:30:12.480 misconstrued.

00:30:14.520 But there

00:30:15.260 it was.

00:30:16.000 All right.

00:30:16.940 Now, I've

00:30:18.080 been joking

00:30:19.400 slash not

00:30:20.400 joking about

00:30:21.080 Biden's

00:30:21.720 satanic

00:30:22.440 influences,

00:30:23.540 meaning that

00:30:24.100 there are a

00:30:24.480 lot of

00:30:24.980 satanic

00:30:25.620 coincidences.

00:30:27.040 about Joe

00:30:28.200 Biden,

00:30:29.280 that he

00:30:29.860 lives

00:30:30.220 underground

00:30:30.760 like Satan,

00:30:32.080 that Lucifer's

00:30:33.660 name is

00:30:34.200 bringer of

00:30:34.740 light,

00:30:35.360 and that's

00:30:35.920 literally what

00:30:36.620 Biden announced

00:30:37.680 he would do.

00:30:38.300 He would

00:30:38.540 bring light.

00:30:40.120 There's the

00:30:40.740 fact that

00:30:41.460 Kamala

00:30:42.180 Harris,

00:30:43.560 both are

00:30:44.180 six letters,

00:30:45.460 Kamala

00:30:45.740 six,

00:30:46.360 Harris

00:30:46.600 six,

00:30:47.600 president of

00:30:48.280 or vice

00:30:48.900 president of

00:30:49.400 the United

00:30:49.680 States is

00:30:50.280 six,

00:30:51.260 so he's

00:30:51.600 got the

00:30:51.940 six,

00:30:52.240 six,

00:30:52.480 six thing

00:30:52.980 going for

00:30:53.460 his vice

00:30:53.880 president.

00:30:54.300 But this

00:30:58.060 one,

00:30:58.540 this little

00:30:58.980 bit sort

00:31:00.740 of tells

00:31:01.620 it to

00:31:01.880 you all.

00:31:02.860 So one

00:31:03.600 of my

00:31:04.220 trolls or

00:31:06.200 my critics

00:31:06.780 online has

00:31:08.160 been posting

00:31:08.880 a picture of

00:31:09.500 my deceased

00:31:10.240 stepson who

00:31:11.740 died of a

00:31:12.660 fentanyl

00:31:13.300 overdose in

00:31:14.980 2018 as

00:31:16.960 a comment

00:31:17.980 no matter

00:31:18.540 what I'm

00:31:19.020 commenting on.

00:31:19.740 and then

00:31:21.000 he says

00:31:21.700 it's my

00:31:22.100 fault that

00:31:22.940 my stepson

00:31:24.860 died.

00:31:26.160 Now,

00:31:26.860 I accept

00:31:28.840 that that's

00:31:29.340 true.

00:31:30.780 I would

00:31:31.140 never argue

00:31:31.620 with that

00:31:31.960 in the

00:31:32.360 sense that

00:31:33.020 was there

00:31:33.920 anything I

00:31:34.700 could have

00:31:35.040 done in

00:31:35.380 hindsight that

00:31:36.620 would have

00:31:36.940 prevented it?

00:31:37.560 And the

00:31:37.740 answer is

00:31:38.100 always yes.

00:31:39.180 If you

00:31:39.640 have someone

00:31:40.040 in your

00:31:40.260 family who

00:31:40.720 commits

00:31:40.960 suicide,

00:31:42.460 yeah,

00:31:42.820 there was

00:31:43.160 something you

00:31:43.680 could do.

00:31:44.160 You could

00:31:44.420 have been

00:31:44.720 in the

00:31:46.040 room all

00:31:46.460 the time.

00:31:47.580 You could

00:31:48.020 have tried

00:31:48.580 harder or

00:31:49.140 whatever.

00:31:49.740 So it's

00:31:50.340 not like I

00:31:50.960 disagree with

00:31:51.760 the point

00:31:52.300 that anybody

00:31:54.220 who has a

00:31:54.900 loss in the

00:31:55.380 family, they

00:31:56.420 could have

00:31:56.840 done something

00:31:57.360 different, but

00:31:58.520 it's the real

00:31:59.100 world.

00:32:00.180 People don't

00:32:01.060 know until

00:32:02.220 hindsight makes

00:32:03.160 us all smart

00:32:03.940 how much they

00:32:05.320 could have

00:32:05.640 done or

00:32:05.980 should have

00:32:06.300 done under

00:32:07.020 the circumstances.

00:32:08.280 But I don't

00:32:08.860 disagree with

00:32:09.360 the point that

00:32:10.280 somebody could

00:32:10.800 have done

00:32:11.040 more and

00:32:12.060 that somebody

00:32:12.780 in this case

00:32:13.400 was me.

00:32:14.540 But when

00:32:15.600 you see the

00:32:16.280 degree of

00:32:17.960 evil that it

00:32:19.620 takes for

00:32:20.120 this person

00:32:20.660 to do

00:32:21.040 that, and

00:32:21.500 it's repeated,

00:32:22.140 it's not

00:32:22.460 once.

00:32:23.220 It's somebody

00:32:23.760 who I

00:32:24.200 block them,

00:32:24.820 they create

00:32:25.240 a new

00:32:25.520 troll account,

00:32:26.300 they do it

00:32:26.700 on the

00:32:26.940 next comment,

00:32:27.700 etc.

00:32:29.660 But that

00:32:30.440 feels closer

00:32:32.280 to satanic.

00:32:33.900 I'm not a

00:32:34.660 believer, but

00:32:35.360 just in terms

00:32:36.060 of categorizing

00:32:36.820 it, it

00:32:37.340 feels closer

00:32:37.960 to satanic

00:32:38.900 than it

00:32:40.000 does to

00:32:40.720 somebody who's

00:32:42.120 just a

00:32:42.480 troll.

00:32:43.940 But I'll

00:32:45.340 leave that

00:32:45.660 to you.

00:32:47.540 The RNC

00:32:49.760 last night

00:32:50.300 made, and

00:32:51.180 for the

00:32:51.680 last three

00:32:52.020 days, they've

00:32:52.920 made a

00:32:53.320 number of

00:32:54.140 positive

00:32:54.680 comments about

00:32:55.480 school choice.

00:32:57.380 But I

00:32:58.400 think that

00:32:58.900 they have

00:32:59.280 failed in

00:32:59.860 their messaging.

00:33:01.240 So even

00:33:01.600 though the

00:33:01.980 Republicans have

00:33:02.760 fairly consistently

00:33:03.640 said, hey,

00:33:04.280 school choice

00:33:05.020 will help

00:33:06.460 you, there's

00:33:07.720 a part they

00:33:08.940 leave out

00:33:09.600 that makes

00:33:10.920 their preference

00:33:12.520 for school

00:33:13.120 choice inert.

00:33:16.340 In other

00:33:16.740 words, it's

00:33:17.300 the most

00:33:17.620 powerful thing

00:33:18.920 or could

00:33:19.780 be.

00:33:20.260 It should

00:33:20.660 be the

00:33:20.920 most powerful

00:33:21.640 thing that

00:33:22.120 they say.

00:33:23.220 But the

00:33:23.600 way they

00:33:24.000 say it

00:33:24.400 turns it

00:33:24.860 from potentially

00:33:25.760 the most

00:33:26.160 powerful thing

00:33:27.000 they could

00:33:27.320 say to

00:33:28.360 absolutely

00:33:28.760 nothing.

00:33:30.320 And here's

00:33:30.800 the problem.

00:33:32.100 When you

00:33:32.560 simply say

00:33:33.240 this, it's

00:33:33.840 not enough.

00:33:34.560 And this

00:33:34.840 is what they

00:33:35.280 do.

00:33:35.940 They say, we

00:33:36.560 want more

00:33:37.060 school choice

00:33:38.000 because, you

00:33:39.740 know, competition

00:33:40.340 is good and

00:33:41.460 then, you

00:33:42.300 know, parents

00:33:43.940 can raise their

00:33:44.600 children and

00:33:45.400 the way

00:33:46.260 they want.

00:33:47.080 It's freedom.

00:33:48.940 It's right.

00:33:50.400 They say that

00:33:51.000 sort of thing.

00:33:52.160 That has no

00:33:53.880 persuasive power

00:33:55.260 except to

00:33:56.500 Republicans,

00:33:57.360 which is not

00:33:58.760 good enough if

00:33:59.460 you're running

00:33:59.780 for election.

00:34:00.980 What they

00:34:01.780 should say,

00:34:03.020 and they're

00:34:03.460 leaving out,

00:34:04.240 and it must

00:34:04.720 be intentional,

00:34:05.940 is that the

00:34:06.500 cause of not

00:34:07.640 being able to

00:34:08.300 have this

00:34:09.120 freedom of

00:34:10.080 education, if

00:34:10.920 you will, is

00:34:11.980 the teachers'

00:34:12.440 unions,

00:34:12.880 specifically the

00:34:14.520 teachers'

00:34:15.020 unions.

00:34:15.760 If you

00:34:16.580 unpair those

00:34:17.820 two ideas,

00:34:19.300 and then you

00:34:19.920 unpair it from

00:34:20.940 systemic racism,

00:34:22.660 you've lost all

00:34:23.860 your persuasive

00:34:24.920 juice.

00:34:26.940 All right?

00:34:27.500 The way to make

00:34:28.220 it persuasive is

00:34:29.380 to say,

00:34:30.380 systemic racism,

00:34:32.260 the biggest

00:34:32.920 cause of it,

00:34:33.800 and it's real,

00:34:35.320 if you're still

00:34:35.960 arguing that

00:34:36.600 systemic racism

00:34:37.600 doesn't exist,

00:34:39.300 because you're

00:34:39.840 a Republican and

00:34:40.820 you don't want

00:34:41.420 it to exist,

00:34:42.580 it's a losing

00:34:43.740 argument.

00:34:45.360 And the reason

00:34:46.060 it's a losing

00:34:46.600 argument is,

00:34:47.460 A, it totally

00:34:48.240 exists.

00:34:49.520 It may not be

00:34:50.320 in the form and

00:34:51.200 type that other

00:34:51.880 people are talking

00:34:52.580 about it, but

00:34:53.680 obviously it

00:34:54.440 exists.

00:34:55.720 Any system

00:34:56.660 will be optimized

00:34:58.240 for some types

00:34:59.600 of people,

00:35:00.600 and sub-optimized

00:35:01.960 for other types.

00:35:03.480 Doesn't mean

00:35:04.120 anybody did it

00:35:04.960 intentionally.

00:35:06.200 Doesn't mean

00:35:06.760 it's anybody's

00:35:07.440 fault, per se.

00:35:08.560 way, but

00:35:09.680 it is something

00:35:10.280 that needs to

00:35:10.840 be addressed.

00:35:12.040 And certainly

00:35:12.460 there is a

00:35:13.180 ripple from

00:35:13.980 slavery and

00:35:15.060 other effects

00:35:15.820 that clearly

00:35:17.340 have an effect.

00:35:19.160 But I would

00:35:19.900 say that the

00:35:20.680 biggest lever

00:35:22.280 for fixing

00:35:23.320 that, and I

00:35:24.500 think everybody

00:35:24.980 would like to

00:35:25.540 fix it, if it's

00:35:26.300 fixable, in the

00:35:27.880 sense of giving

00:35:28.460 everybody a fair

00:35:29.220 shot, because

00:35:30.300 anything you fix

00:35:31.120 for the black

00:35:31.600 community, as

00:35:33.900 is often said,

00:35:34.780 and it's one of

00:35:35.240 the strongest

00:35:35.660 points, is going

00:35:37.060 to help everybody.

00:35:38.560 It's going to

00:35:39.060 help everybody.

00:35:40.120 There is no

00:35:41.120 way to give

00:35:42.700 the black

00:35:43.160 community a

00:35:44.500 boost that

00:35:46.160 doesn't help

00:35:46.780 everybody, unless

00:35:47.620 you're just

00:35:48.040 transferring money,

00:35:49.000 which is sort

00:35:49.700 of the dumb

00:35:50.360 way to do

00:35:50.820 it.

00:35:51.520 But if you

00:35:52.100 were to state

00:35:54.960 quite accurately

00:35:55.780 that the

00:35:57.020 teachers'

00:35:57.760 unions are

00:35:58.880 the primary

00:35:59.520 cause of

00:36:00.380 locking the

00:36:01.240 black community

00:36:01.980 into the

00:36:03.260 lower socioeconomic

00:36:05.180 grouping, that's

00:36:06.720 just true.

00:36:07.280 that's

00:36:08.320 demonstrably

00:36:09.180 obviously

00:36:09.860 observably

00:36:10.940 true.

00:36:11.760 They're doing

00:36:12.420 literally that

00:36:13.500 by being the

00:36:15.100 strongest force.

00:36:16.100 They're a huge

00:36:16.640 political force, and

00:36:18.020 the reason they're a

00:36:18.580 big political force is

00:36:19.540 there are so many

00:36:20.100 teachers.

00:36:21.340 Lots of teachers

00:36:22.180 means lots of

00:36:23.460 money from

00:36:24.120 dues.

00:36:25.140 Lots of money

00:36:25.840 from dues means

00:36:26.840 you can do things

00:36:27.680 beyond what the

00:36:29.420 school is doing at

00:36:30.400 the moment, beyond

00:36:31.380 the negotiating for

00:36:32.320 the teachers.

00:36:32.780 teachers, you

00:36:33.380 can use that

00:36:33.960 money, a lot

00:36:34.760 of it, to

00:36:35.660 influence politics,

00:36:36.980 and they do.

00:36:38.140 And they have so

00:36:38.920 much money, because

00:36:39.800 there are so many

00:36:40.400 teachers, that they

00:36:42.000 can actually determine

00:36:43.000 local politicians who

00:36:46.500 get selected, and

00:36:47.760 then they can just

00:36:48.460 cement their power,

00:36:50.420 and they can lock

00:36:52.220 in systemic racism,

00:36:55.080 and school choice

00:36:59.400 is the primary

00:37:00.500 way that anybody's

00:37:02.260 ever thought of.

00:37:03.100 If somebody comes

00:37:03.820 up with a better

00:37:04.500 idea, I'm open to

00:37:05.980 that.

00:37:06.840 But in terms of

00:37:07.720 ideas that people

00:37:08.760 actually have, like

00:37:10.600 real suggestions

00:37:11.560 that are actually

00:37:12.900 something you could

00:37:13.700 do something about,

00:37:15.560 getting rid of the

00:37:16.560 power of the

00:37:17.340 teachers' unions and

00:37:19.240 moving more towards

00:37:20.460 school choice is

00:37:21.480 the thing, the

00:37:23.100 number one thing,

00:37:24.220 that the black

00:37:25.340 community needs

00:37:26.280 to get a fair

00:37:28.680 shake, because

00:37:29.860 they're not.

00:37:31.000 Anybody who says

00:37:31.920 that you're getting

00:37:33.460 a fair shake

00:37:34.580 when you're black,

00:37:36.480 especially if you're

00:37:37.160 living in some

00:37:37.840 urban place that's

00:37:39.740 not so good,

00:37:41.140 anybody who thinks

00:37:41.880 that they're getting

00:37:42.280 a fair shake, you're

00:37:44.180 not paying attention.

00:37:45.940 Because not only are

00:37:46.980 they not getting a

00:37:47.840 fair shake, but

00:37:48.540 anybody who's in the

00:37:49.460 same socioeconomic

00:37:50.680 group, also not

00:37:52.660 getting a fair shake.

00:37:54.220 And it's because

00:37:57.140 of the teachers'

00:37:57.700 unions.

00:37:58.280 So when the

00:37:59.120 Republicans leave

00:37:59.880 that out, they

00:38:00.720 also guarantee

00:38:01.580 that their message

00:38:02.520 is weak.

00:38:03.840 I don't know why

00:38:04.440 they do it, honestly.

00:38:08.480 All right.

00:38:10.920 So here's what

00:38:12.720 else.

00:38:13.780 I would say,

00:38:14.760 also, that

00:38:16.820 nobody succeeds

00:38:18.000 without a good

00:38:18.720 strategy.

00:38:19.340 would you agree

00:38:21.540 that the

00:38:22.380 Asian Americans

00:38:24.100 have a good

00:38:25.300 strategy as a

00:38:27.020 group?

00:38:27.640 Again, when you

00:38:29.000 talk about a

00:38:29.540 group, you're not

00:38:30.300 talking about every

00:38:31.160 single person in the

00:38:32.160 group.

00:38:33.200 I'm hoping you're

00:38:34.120 adult enough to

00:38:34.840 know that.

00:38:36.120 But isn't it

00:38:37.460 true that the

00:38:38.800 Asian American

00:38:39.420 community has a

00:38:41.560 strategy, which is

00:38:42.500 stay out of

00:38:43.500 trouble, legal

00:38:45.200 trouble especially,

00:38:46.080 stay out of

00:38:46.480 trouble, and

00:38:47.820 emphasize education?

00:38:49.340 Right?

00:38:51.680 And it seems to

00:38:52.640 work, because

00:38:53.620 they've done

00:38:54.580 unusually well.

00:38:56.660 Would you say

00:38:57.540 that wealthy

00:38:59.080 white people

00:39:00.500 also have a

00:39:01.460 strategy that

00:39:02.740 works?

00:39:03.120 Well, of course,

00:39:03.600 they have an

00:39:03.920 advantage if

00:39:04.540 they're coming

00:39:04.880 from wealth, but

00:39:05.960 they also hear

00:39:06.780 good strategies

00:39:07.680 just by being

00:39:08.580 around it.

00:39:09.920 They can observe

00:39:10.740 what works and

00:39:11.640 what doesn't,

00:39:12.460 because they're

00:39:13.140 around success.

00:39:14.700 If you've never

00:39:15.620 been around

00:39:16.480 success, you

00:39:18.340 kind of don't

00:39:18.920 know what it

00:39:19.320 looks like.

00:39:20.760 It has to be

00:39:21.400 personal.

00:39:21.920 You have to

00:39:22.220 know somebody

00:39:22.940 who is

00:39:23.220 successful.

00:39:24.120 It's not

00:39:24.500 really good to

00:39:25.080 just watch

00:39:25.520 them on TV or

00:39:26.300 read a book

00:39:26.740 about a

00:39:27.100 successful person.

00:39:28.320 If you've

00:39:28.900 not met

00:39:29.560 one, it's

00:39:31.120 a real

00:39:31.580 disadvantage.

00:39:32.620 I mean, a

00:39:33.080 serious

00:39:33.580 disadvantage.

00:39:35.200 And I've

00:39:36.380 often said that

00:39:37.040 one of the

00:39:37.540 biggest strategic

00:39:38.860 mistakes, and

00:39:39.620 it's just one

00:39:40.420 of them, is

00:39:41.480 if you're

00:39:41.920 idolizing

00:39:42.660 criminals, if

00:39:47.480 they are your

00:39:48.020 heroes, literally

00:39:48.900 criminals, and

00:39:50.520 you're de-emphasizing

00:39:51.800 people who are

00:39:52.540 doing it right

00:39:53.320 and succeeding,

00:39:54.860 then you can't

00:39:55.920 really succeed.

00:39:57.280 I don't know

00:39:58.240 that there's a

00:39:59.100 culture who has

00:40:00.100 ever idolized

00:40:02.440 or put most of

00:40:04.140 their, let's say,

00:40:05.740 identity into a

00:40:08.120 criminal element

00:40:09.180 that has succeeded.

00:40:11.460 Now, you see

00:40:12.500 this in two

00:40:13.040 ways, and I

00:40:14.020 get this from

00:40:14.940 leaders in the

00:40:16.820 black community

00:40:17.460 telling me this,

00:40:18.200 right?

00:40:18.660 So the next

00:40:19.320 thing I say is

00:40:20.140 not my white

00:40:20.860 guy interpretation

00:40:21.760 of anything,

00:40:22.900 because, again,

00:40:23.860 it's always a

00:40:24.780 mistake to think

00:40:25.580 you can put

00:40:26.840 yourself in

00:40:27.400 somebody else's

00:40:28.080 head if they

00:40:29.020 have a really

00:40:29.420 different situation.

00:40:31.040 But black

00:40:32.020 leaders will

00:40:32.680 tell you that

00:40:34.160 one of the

00:40:34.640 problems is that

00:40:36.200 if you're black

00:40:37.500 and young,

00:40:38.220 especially if you

00:40:38.900 don't have a

00:40:39.300 father who is

00:40:40.380 doing well,

00:40:41.460 that they're

00:40:42.580 looking for

00:40:43.020 role models,

00:40:43.700 and the people

00:40:44.220 who are doing

00:40:44.720 the best in a

00:40:46.060 bad situation

00:40:46.800 might be drug

00:40:48.260 dealers.

00:40:49.340 So if the only

00:40:50.340 people who seem

00:40:51.260 to be living some

00:40:52.200 kind of a high

00:40:52.940 quality life are

00:40:54.960 literally criminals,

00:40:56.740 that's a bad

00:40:58.360 strategy.

00:41:00.160 You know, you

00:41:00.500 need to replace

00:41:01.480 that role model

00:41:04.080 mental situation

00:41:05.920 with some other

00:41:06.780 kind of positive

00:41:07.460 role model,

00:41:08.060 or you just

00:41:08.420 can't.

00:41:09.200 There's nothing

00:41:09.720 that can be

00:41:10.200 fixed if you

00:41:11.320 don't get

00:41:11.660 that first.

00:41:12.740 That's sort

00:41:13.180 of like

00:41:13.420 starting place,

00:41:14.500 right?

00:41:15.160 Now you see

00:41:15.900 this also

00:41:16.420 with the

00:41:16.940 police shooting

00:41:17.840 stuff,

00:41:19.160 and I hope

00:41:20.340 I modeled

00:41:20.940 this correctly.

00:41:22.600 It is a

00:41:23.440 good strategy

00:41:24.300 when you see

00:41:25.680 three scumbags

00:41:28.000 of your own

00:41:28.880 ethnicity

00:41:29.500 getting waxed

00:41:31.240 by a guy

00:41:31.840 with a gun,

00:41:32.860 which is

00:41:33.360 basically what

00:41:34.000 happened in

00:41:34.540 Kenosha,

00:41:35.580 that you should

00:41:36.120 call the three

00:41:36.920 who got waxed

00:41:37.960 as bad people.

00:41:39.220 I don't

00:41:40.620 make them

00:41:41.060 my role

00:41:41.620 models.

00:41:42.300 I don't

00:41:42.720 make them

00:41:43.140 my cause.

00:41:44.680 I say,

00:41:45.780 screw them.

00:41:46.440 I don't care

00:41:46.900 about them.

00:41:47.980 But,

00:41:48.680 if somebody

00:41:49.580 does something

00:41:50.260 awesome,

00:41:51.300 I'm going to

00:41:52.040 call that out.

00:41:53.380 I'm going to

00:41:53.880 call that out,

00:41:54.520 and I'm going

00:41:54.860 to make them

00:41:55.360 my hero.

00:41:56.740 So,

00:41:57.660 you know,

00:41:58.060 when I see

00:41:58.500 Jack Brewer,

00:41:59.460 who not only

00:42:00.620 was spectacular

00:42:01.460 as a personality,

00:42:03.980 as charisma,

00:42:05.000 as a communicator,

00:42:06.360 I mean,

00:42:06.640 really,

00:42:07.140 really good,

00:42:07.620 but apparently

00:42:08.860 his life

00:42:11.760 lives up

00:42:12.660 to that same

00:42:13.280 standard.

00:42:14.340 So,

00:42:14.540 what I call

00:42:15.040 him now

00:42:15.300 as a role

00:42:15.800 model,

00:42:16.900 I feel like

00:42:17.640 that's a good

00:42:18.120 strategy.

00:42:19.300 It doesn't

00:42:19.660 matter what

00:42:20.220 ethnicity he

00:42:20.960 is.

00:42:21.440 He's my

00:42:21.880 role model

00:42:22.340 because he

00:42:23.500 works hard.

00:42:24.200 I would say

00:42:24.660 the same

00:42:25.040 thing about

00:42:25.520 Kanye.

00:42:27.440 One of the

00:42:28.340 greatest parts

00:42:29.740 about Kanye

00:42:30.520 is unstated.

00:42:33.140 This is the

00:42:33.740 thing nobody

00:42:34.260 talks about,

00:42:35.480 but it should

00:42:36.120 be the most

00:42:36.580 important thing

00:42:37.200 about Kanye.

00:42:38.760 He knows

00:42:39.480 how to

00:42:39.800 succeed.

00:42:41.200 He works

00:42:41.720 hard,

00:42:42.740 stays out

00:42:43.340 of jail,

00:42:44.520 takes the

00:42:45.380 right kind

00:42:45.820 of risks,

00:42:46.940 learns what

00:42:47.620 he needs

00:42:47.960 to,

00:42:48.260 builds his

00:42:48.740 talent stack,

00:42:50.120 has a

00:42:50.780 rock-solid

00:42:52.440 strategy for

00:42:53.780 life.

00:42:54.660 I mean,

00:42:55.180 really solid

00:42:56.140 strategy.

00:42:56.720 You can see

00:42:57.260 it in everything

00:42:57.760 he does.

00:42:58.740 He makes

00:42:59.200 the right

00:42:59.600 kind of

00:42:59.980 risks.

00:43:01.240 When he

00:43:01.900 does things

00:43:02.420 that are

00:43:02.660 provocative,

00:43:03.440 he makes

00:43:03.780 that work

00:43:04.320 for him.

00:43:04.760 It makes

00:43:05.180 his voice

00:43:06.780 more important.

00:43:08.500 You see him

00:43:09.040 succeed in

00:43:09.940 three different

00:43:10.500 fields at

00:43:11.120 this point,

00:43:11.720 because I

00:43:11.980 would say

00:43:12.300 that his

00:43:12.740 spiritual stuff

00:43:14.880 he's doing

00:43:15.200 now is

00:43:15.600 hugely

00:43:15.880 successful.

00:43:17.100 So he's

00:43:17.720 hugely

00:43:18.160 successful in

00:43:19.100 music,

00:43:19.880 producing,

00:43:21.660 performing,

00:43:22.540 those are

00:43:22.980 pretty different,

00:43:24.640 hugely

00:43:25.440 successful in

00:43:26.680 fashion,

00:43:27.920 and now

00:43:28.320 hugely

00:43:28.760 successful as

00:43:30.460 a spiritual

00:43:31.120 leader in

00:43:32.480 this country.

00:43:33.420 So look

00:43:33.820 at Kanye.

00:43:35.060 And what

00:43:36.760 do we say

00:43:37.240 when Kanye

00:43:38.320 is in the

00:43:38.700 news?

00:43:38.980 What do we

00:43:39.280 talk about?

00:43:40.140 He gets

00:43:40.520 mocked.

00:43:41.580 He gets

00:43:42.220 mocked for

00:43:42.860 that one

00:43:43.560 thing he

00:43:43.940 said that

00:43:44.320 you didn't

00:43:44.640 like,

00:43:45.260 or that

00:43:46.240 one time

00:43:47.200 Taylor Swift

00:43:48.560 was winning

00:43:50.180 an award,

00:43:51.140 or they

00:43:52.180 mock him

00:43:52.720 for, I

00:43:53.760 don't know,

00:43:54.260 liking Trump.

00:43:56.440 As long

00:43:57.200 as you're

00:43:57.520 mocking your

00:43:58.320 good role

00:43:59.000 models,

00:43:59.420 and you're

00:44:00.860 making heroes

00:44:02.400 out of

00:44:02.860 your

00:44:02.980 literally

00:44:03.420 criminals,

00:44:04.340 or people

00:44:04.860 who weren't

00:44:05.240 resisting

00:44:05.720 arrest,

00:44:06.480 and again,

00:44:07.680 don't take

00:44:08.300 this generalization

00:44:09.480 to apply to

00:44:10.400 every situation.

00:44:12.180 I'm not

00:44:12.660 saying that

00:44:13.260 police made

00:44:14.040 all the

00:44:14.380 right decisions,

00:44:15.660 I'm not

00:44:16.020 saying that

00:44:16.620 all of the

00:44:17.960 shootings were

00:44:18.700 justified or

00:44:19.580 good,

00:44:19.880 nothing like

00:44:20.320 that.

00:44:21.060 Police

00:44:21.400 clearly make

00:44:22.360 mistakes

00:44:22.900 because they're

00:44:24.120 human.

00:44:25.520 If your

00:44:26.240 police didn't

00:44:26.780 make any

00:44:27.180 mistakes,

00:44:27.840 it would

00:44:28.240 mean we're

00:44:28.620 already taken

00:44:29.220 over by

00:44:29.700 AI and

00:44:30.300 the robots,

00:44:32.080 and even

00:44:32.360 they would

00:44:32.680 make mistakes.

00:44:34.200 have a

00:44:36.800 better strategy

00:44:37.520 is what I'm

00:44:37.980 saying.

00:44:38.980 All right,

00:44:39.260 so I finally

00:44:39.760 figured out,

00:44:40.540 and this is

00:44:43.240 because Anderson

00:44:44.080 Cooper said

00:44:44.760 last night to

00:44:46.380 his group

00:44:47.360 shot of

00:44:48.900 gas,

00:44:49.960 he said that

00:44:50.620 the president

00:44:51.180 suggested drinking

00:44:52.600 bleach for

00:44:54.700 the coronavirus.

00:44:55.440 virus.

00:44:56.760 If you're

00:44:57.320 listening to

00:44:57.800 this,

00:44:58.220 don't drink

00:44:58.660 bleach for

00:44:59.340 anything.

00:45:00.580 It'll kill

00:45:01.040 you.

00:45:02.820 And Anderson

00:45:03.720 Cooper said

00:45:04.300 that,

00:45:04.760 and he had

00:45:06.020 at least one

00:45:06.820 conservative,

00:45:07.980 I think two

00:45:08.780 conservative,

00:45:10.080 voices on the

00:45:10.980 screen at the

00:45:11.480 same time,

00:45:11.980 which is law

00:45:12.440 actually.

00:45:14.720 And so I'll

00:45:15.260 give them credit

00:45:15.800 for that.

00:45:16.280 They had two

00:45:17.240 Trump-friendly

00:45:18.920 people on the

00:45:20.360 screen with

00:45:21.060 two others,

00:45:22.020 which I give

00:45:23.340 them credit

00:45:23.700 for that.

00:45:24.760 So taking

00:45:25.960 President Trump's,

00:45:29.180 let's take him

00:45:29.860 as a role model

00:45:30.600 in this,

00:45:31.440 when CNN does

00:45:32.420 bad things,

00:45:33.120 I will viciously

00:45:34.100 attack them

00:45:34.640 because I think

00:45:35.200 it's really bad

00:45:35.820 for the country,

00:45:36.600 the fake news.

00:45:37.580 But when they

00:45:39.480 do something

00:45:39.960 that's clearly

00:45:40.580 a good thing,

00:45:42.640 Anderson

00:45:43.040 Cooper had

00:45:43.740 two,

00:45:44.620 not just one,

00:45:45.760 because you'll

00:45:46.160 often see just

00:45:46.760 one,

00:45:47.900 he had two

00:45:48.640 pro-conservative

00:45:51.060 voices on

00:45:51.760 with two

00:45:52.640 on the other

00:45:53.260 side,

00:45:53.800 and I thought

00:45:54.340 that was

00:45:54.660 reasonable.

00:45:55.640 So I'm going

00:45:56.180 to call that

00:45:56.700 out as a

00:45:57.240 compliment.

00:45:59.620 So Anderson

00:46:00.420 Cooper states

00:46:02.440 this fake

00:46:05.100 news that

00:46:06.600 the president

00:46:07.400 suggested drinking

00:46:08.180 bleach,

00:46:08.800 and both of

00:46:09.760 the conservatives

00:46:11.020 just went,

00:46:11.760 no,

00:46:12.480 no,

00:46:13.400 no,

00:46:14.360 you know,

00:46:15.540 they just

00:46:15.860 made this

00:46:16.940 noise like,

00:46:17.580 I can't believe

00:46:18.100 it.

00:46:18.640 And then here's

00:46:19.340 the amazing

00:46:19.840 part.

00:46:20.200 I always

00:46:21.560 wonder,

00:46:22.820 do the

00:46:23.180 people who

00:46:23.780 are pushing

00:46:24.320 the fake

00:46:24.800 news,

00:46:25.360 how aware

00:46:26.400 of it are

00:46:26.980 they?

00:46:28.020 Don't you

00:46:28.440 wonder that?

00:46:29.340 Are they

00:46:29.660 doing it

00:46:30.120 completely

00:46:30.720 intentionally?

00:46:32.320 Or are

00:46:32.900 they actually

00:46:33.620 not sure

00:46:34.220 what the

00:46:34.600 real news

00:46:35.060 is?

00:46:36.100 And Anderson

00:46:36.760 Cooper,

00:46:37.660 in my

00:46:38.580 opinion,

00:46:39.160 again,

00:46:39.460 there's an

00:46:39.820 interpretation

00:46:40.300 that's coming,

00:46:41.700 but in the

00:46:42.340 way he dealt

00:46:43.000 with their

00:46:43.400 objections,

00:46:44.900 he was

00:46:45.280 saying,

00:46:45.760 well,

00:46:46.080 you didn't

00:46:46.560 see that?

00:46:47.000 Are you

00:46:47.160 telling me

00:46:47.400 that didn't

00:46:47.760 happen?

00:46:48.060 And they're

00:46:48.840 like,

00:46:49.140 like it

00:46:51.240 didn't

00:46:51.420 happen.

00:46:52.060 He's like,

00:46:52.880 seriously,

00:46:53.480 you're telling

00:46:53.960 me that

00:46:54.440 didn't

00:46:54.700 happen?

00:46:55.980 And the

00:46:56.580 genuine

00:46:57.660 way he

00:46:58.580 responded to

00:46:59.780 that indicated

00:47:01.900 to me,

00:47:02.380 and it could

00:47:02.640 be wrong,

00:47:03.200 but it

00:47:03.440 indicated that

00:47:04.780 he thought it

00:47:05.380 really happened.

00:47:06.940 And I

00:47:07.160 thought,

00:47:07.620 my God,

00:47:08.820 my God,

00:47:10.140 he thinks that

00:47:11.060 actually happened.

00:47:12.460 And so I

00:47:12.960 had to go back

00:47:13.580 and look at

00:47:14.180 what the

00:47:14.500 president said

00:47:15.360 to figure

00:47:16.440 out how

00:47:16.840 somebody who

00:47:17.380 does news

00:47:17.960 for a living

00:47:18.700 could believe

00:47:20.260 that actually

00:47:20.920 happened.

00:47:21.920 And I

00:47:22.380 figured out

00:47:22.820 how they

00:47:23.420 did the

00:47:23.780 trick,

00:47:24.240 and it's

00:47:24.500 the way

00:47:24.780 they did,

00:47:26.500 there are

00:47:27.040 at least

00:47:27.280 four other

00:47:28.040 hoaxes that

00:47:29.820 fall into

00:47:30.480 the same

00:47:30.940 category.

00:47:31.860 All you

00:47:32.340 have to do

00:47:32.860 is edit

00:47:33.980 the video

00:47:34.580 so you're

00:47:35.360 taking out

00:47:35.820 a clarifier.

00:47:37.040 You just

00:47:37.680 remove the

00:47:38.200 clarifier if

00:47:38.940 it comes

00:47:39.320 before or

00:47:40.160 after the

00:47:40.660 statement.

00:47:41.480 So they

00:47:41.840 did the

00:47:42.140 same trick

00:47:42.600 with the

00:47:43.120 find people

00:47:43.780 hoax.

00:47:44.160 they edited

00:47:45.020 out the

00:47:45.360 part where

00:47:46.460 Trump says

00:47:47.240 I'm not

00:47:47.580 talking about

00:47:48.100 the white

00:47:49.100 nationalists

00:47:49.620 and neo-Nazis

00:47:50.360 they should

00:47:50.700 be condemned

00:47:51.240 completely.

00:47:52.420 If you

00:47:52.620 take that

00:47:53.060 out,

00:47:54.060 it does

00:47:54.660 look like

00:47:55.240 he was

00:47:55.680 praising

00:47:56.240 the racists,

00:47:58.300 which is

00:47:58.700 why he

00:48:00.400 clarified.

00:48:01.920 They just

00:48:02.640 take the

00:48:03.020 clarification

00:48:03.460 out.

00:48:04.820 And even

00:48:05.300 he was

00:48:05.680 aware that

00:48:06.340 it could

00:48:06.620 be

00:48:06.820 misunderstood,

00:48:08.140 and so

00:48:08.760 he clarified.

00:48:10.580 And then

00:48:10.860 they just

00:48:11.180 added out

00:48:11.620 the

00:48:11.780 clarification.

00:48:13.200 But they

00:48:13.720 did the

00:48:14.040 same trick

00:48:14.600 for the

00:48:15.160 overfeeding

00:48:16.760 the Japanese

00:48:17.580 koi fish.

00:48:19.080 All they

00:48:19.420 do is

00:48:19.720 lop off

00:48:20.340 the part

00:48:20.800 where his

00:48:22.240 host,

00:48:23.900 Shinzo

00:48:24.500 Abe,

00:48:25.160 if I

00:48:25.420 pronounce it

00:48:25.900 right,

00:48:26.600 did the

00:48:27.180 same thing

00:48:27.660 by dumping

00:48:28.200 the rest

00:48:28.960 of the

00:48:29.240 food in

00:48:29.580 there.

00:48:30.000 So Trump

00:48:30.500 was just

00:48:30.860 doing what

00:48:31.260 he did.

00:48:32.240 But if

00:48:32.660 you don't

00:48:32.920 see that

00:48:33.300 context,

00:48:34.020 it looks

00:48:34.300 like Trump

00:48:34.920 is just

00:48:35.200 being a

00:48:35.560 jerk and

00:48:36.020 throwing

00:48:36.300 all the

00:48:36.660 food in

00:48:36.980 there.

00:48:38.720 And then

00:48:39.320 the George

00:48:39.800 Floyd case

00:48:40.400 is slightly

00:48:41.240 different,

00:48:41.940 but it's

00:48:42.280 instructive.

00:48:43.040 video can't

00:48:45.140 tell you

00:48:45.680 that George

00:48:46.480 Floyd had

00:48:47.100 a fentanyl

00:48:47.800 overdose in

00:48:48.580 him and

00:48:49.320 it was

00:48:49.640 going to

00:48:49.900 kill him

00:48:50.240 no matter

00:48:50.660 what.

00:48:51.760 Video

00:48:52.160 doesn't

00:48:52.500 show that.

00:48:53.580 So if

00:48:53.840 you show

00:48:54.160 a video

00:48:54.540 that can't

00:48:55.340 show the

00:48:56.280 central variable

00:48:57.500 that mattered,

00:48:58.740 which was

00:48:59.120 was he going

00:49:00.140 to die

00:49:00.440 anyway and

00:49:01.020 is that why

00:49:01.420 he couldn't

00:49:01.780 breathe,

00:49:02.580 turns out

00:49:03.140 that's the

00:49:03.520 case.

00:49:04.360 So that

00:49:04.780 video is

00:49:05.360 fake somewhat

00:49:07.960 accidentally.

00:49:08.900 It's sort

00:49:09.360 of organically

00:49:10.200 fake because

00:49:11.100 it can't

00:49:11.720 show you

00:49:12.180 the inside

00:49:13.400 of anybody's

00:49:14.120 chemistry.

00:49:15.060 Video

00:49:15.320 doesn't do

00:49:15.800 that.

00:49:17.380 So you

00:49:17.940 believe with

00:49:18.420 your own

00:49:18.720 eye is what

00:49:19.160 you saw,

00:49:19.700 but of course

00:49:20.180 you're fooled

00:49:20.780 because the

00:49:21.540 video is

00:49:22.240 misleading.

00:49:23.020 But here's

00:49:23.440 how they

00:49:23.720 did the

00:49:24.260 drinking

00:49:25.200 disinfectant

00:49:26.360 and or

00:49:26.900 that morphed

00:49:28.360 into drinking

00:49:29.040 bleach.

00:49:30.440 And I

00:49:31.040 looked at

00:49:31.380 it again

00:49:31.820 and I

00:49:32.340 played a

00:49:33.080 few videos

00:49:33.800 and I

00:49:34.540 was like

00:49:34.880 holy cow,

00:49:36.620 they did

00:49:37.100 it again.

00:49:37.580 So here's

00:49:38.780 what they

00:49:39.280 do to

00:49:41.080 pull off

00:49:41.880 that trick.

00:49:43.500 So prior

00:49:45.080 to Trump

00:49:46.120 mentioning

00:49:46.880 the injecting

00:49:48.980 disinfectant,

00:49:50.320 the immediate

00:49:51.260 conversation

00:49:51.960 before that

00:49:52.680 was light

00:49:53.520 used as

00:49:54.880 a disinfectant.

00:49:56.340 Now if you

00:49:56.940 take out the

00:49:57.500 context that

00:49:58.720 was light

00:49:59.620 as a

00:50:00.340 disinfectant,

00:50:01.440 initially talking

00:50:02.420 about outside

00:50:03.160 the body,

00:50:04.280 it was Trump

00:50:04.980 who talked

00:50:05.420 about moving

00:50:06.040 that idea

00:50:06.680 inside the

00:50:07.420 body,

00:50:08.180 if you

00:50:09.020 take out

00:50:09.340 the first

00:50:09.660 part of

00:50:09.920 the concept,

00:50:10.800 you're

00:50:11.260 confused.

00:50:12.240 Then,

00:50:12.900 to make

00:50:13.300 matters worse,

00:50:14.800 later Trump

00:50:15.620 uses the

00:50:16.220 word disinfectant.

00:50:19.060 They also

00:50:20.140 cut off

00:50:20.800 the end

00:50:21.640 where he

00:50:22.520 brought it

00:50:22.960 back to

00:50:23.420 light to

00:50:24.600 clarify that

00:50:26.040 he was

00:50:26.320 talking about

00:50:26.860 light.

00:50:27.520 So they

00:50:28.100 take out

00:50:28.500 the first

00:50:29.000 part where

00:50:29.680 the context

00:50:30.380 is light

00:50:30.940 as a

00:50:31.420 disinfectant,

00:50:32.280 using

00:50:32.580 specifically

00:50:33.300 the word

00:50:33.740 disinfectant,

00:50:34.940 so that

00:50:35.720 when you

00:50:36.020 see

00:50:36.260 disinfectant

00:50:37.240 as a

00:50:38.280 word in

00:50:38.980 the part

00:50:39.760 that they

00:50:40.140 do show

00:50:40.680 you,

00:50:41.340 it's

00:50:41.500 on a

00:50:41.780 context.

00:50:42.900 Because now

00:50:43.280 you think

00:50:43.660 it's two

00:50:44.020 different

00:50:44.340 things,

00:50:44.900 and I

00:50:45.280 know that

00:50:45.620 that's

00:50:45.840 true,

00:50:46.480 because people

00:50:47.120 in the

00:50:47.360 comments

00:50:47.660 said,

00:50:47.920 hey,

00:50:48.660 I heard

00:50:49.100 it with

00:50:49.340 my own

00:50:49.700 ears,

00:50:50.040 I saw

00:50:50.380 it with

00:50:50.600 my own

00:50:50.920 eyes.

00:50:51.840 He said

00:50:52.440 disinfectant,

00:50:53.940 not light,

00:50:55.180 disinfectant.

00:50:56.520 If you

00:50:57.120 didn't know

00:50:57.560 the context,

00:50:58.380 you would

00:50:58.640 think those

00:50:59.120 were two

00:50:59.500 different

00:50:59.800 things.

00:51:00.820 If you

00:51:01.240 see that

00:51:02.480 he finishes

00:51:03.160 talking about

00:51:03.940 light,

00:51:04.320 and it's

00:51:05.400 introduced

00:51:06.000 talking about

00:51:06.800 light as

00:51:07.500 a

00:51:07.720 disinfectant,

00:51:08.920 you see

00:51:09.620 it differently.

00:51:11.020 Also,

00:51:11.620 if you

00:51:11.920 don't know

00:51:12.460 that in

00:51:13.220 the news

00:51:13.780 there was

00:51:14.380 a specific

00:51:16.180 high-tech

00:51:16.620 company that

00:51:17.240 was testing

00:51:17.880 literally

00:51:18.900 injecting in

00:51:20.220 a ventilator

00:51:20.960 light into

00:51:22.000 your trachea,

00:51:22.820 maybe into

00:51:23.320 your lungs,

00:51:23.860 if they can

00:51:24.220 figure out how

00:51:24.660 to do it,

00:51:25.340 as a

00:51:26.020 disinfectant,

00:51:26.700 if you

00:51:28.040 didn't know

00:51:28.420 that,

00:51:29.260 and the

00:51:29.660 fake news

00:51:30.140 will never

00:51:30.640 report that,

00:51:32.260 you would

00:51:33.220 not know

00:51:33.580 it was a

00:51:34.060 thing,

00:51:34.820 and therefore

00:51:35.140 that context

00:51:35.840 would be

00:51:36.160 missing.

00:51:37.300 So,

00:51:38.780 now,

00:51:39.600 of course,

00:51:41.280 this hoax

00:51:41.860 would be

00:51:42.200 debunked

00:51:43.700 if the

00:51:44.660 fake news

00:51:46.420 ever showed

00:51:47.240 you that

00:51:48.260 the same

00:51:49.540 week the

00:51:50.000 president

00:51:50.340 mentioned

00:51:50.920 this light

00:51:51.640 is a

00:51:51.940 disinfectant,

00:51:53.080 it was

00:51:53.540 in the

00:51:54.040 news.

00:51:55.040 And not

00:51:55.400 only was it

00:51:55.920 in the

00:51:56.180 news,

00:51:56.620 but some

00:51:57.860 of his

00:51:58.200 biggest

00:51:58.480 supporters

00:51:59.040 online were

00:52:00.000 tweeting about

00:52:00.620 it.

00:52:01.820 You know,

00:52:02.000 big blue

00:52:02.500 check pro-Trump

00:52:04.660 accounts were

00:52:05.560 tweeting about

00:52:06.220 this exact

00:52:06.900 thing.

00:52:07.900 So,

00:52:08.300 do you think

00:52:08.740 that Trump

00:52:09.240 notices or

00:52:10.860 his staff

00:52:11.380 notices and

00:52:12.100 brings it to

00:52:12.600 his attention

00:52:13.100 when there's

00:52:14.360 something important

00:52:15.140 that might be

00:52:16.320 optimistic,

00:52:17.120 might be good

00:52:17.640 news about

00:52:18.060 the coronavirus,

00:52:19.240 do you think

00:52:19.640 his staff

00:52:20.080 doesn't mention

00:52:20.680 that to him?

00:52:21.940 If his

00:52:22.980 supporters are

00:52:23.680 chatting about

00:52:24.360 it and it's

00:52:24.840 a real thing

00:52:25.440 and it's

00:52:25.780 in the

00:52:26.020 news,

00:52:27.100 of course,

00:52:28.040 of course,

00:52:29.340 of course they're

00:52:30.320 going to tell

00:52:30.660 him that there's

00:52:31.220 some potential

00:52:31.860 good news

00:52:32.480 brewing.

00:52:33.180 That's exactly

00:52:34.040 what he wants

00:52:34.640 to hear.

00:52:35.440 He needs to

00:52:35.940 hear the bad

00:52:36.380 news too,

00:52:37.300 but of course

00:52:38.440 he wants to

00:52:38.980 hear that

00:52:39.300 there's potential

00:52:39.980 good news.

00:52:41.060 Is there any

00:52:41.680 chance he didn't

00:52:42.340 hear that before

00:52:43.140 talking about it?

00:52:44.360 Well,

00:52:44.880 anything's possible,

00:52:46.440 but not much

00:52:47.140 chance given

00:52:47.900 that he spoke

00:52:48.580 to it specifically.

00:52:50.760 I mean,

00:52:51.020 it's pretty obvious

00:52:52.540 that's what he was

00:52:53.020 talking about.

00:52:53.480 So I remind

00:52:56.300 you that

00:52:56.840 video lies.

00:52:58.640 Nothing lies

00:52:59.300 as well as

00:53:00.040 video.

00:53:01.800 So if you say

00:53:02.540 to yourself,

00:53:03.600 anytime you

00:53:04.300 hear these

00:53:05.920 statements,

00:53:07.180 are you saying

00:53:07.860 that's false?

00:53:08.740 I saw it with

00:53:09.560 my own eyes.

00:53:10.580 Or are you

00:53:11.740 saying that's

00:53:12.260 false?

00:53:12.920 I heard it

00:53:13.860 with my own

00:53:14.400 ears.

00:53:15.020 Or I watched

00:53:16.580 him say it.

00:53:17.300 if you see

00:53:18.400 any of those

00:53:19.100 statements,

00:53:20.080 that's somebody

00:53:20.780 who saw

00:53:21.320 a fake

00:53:21.980 edited

00:53:22.980 video.

00:53:24.940 Because they

00:53:25.640 can't understand

00:53:26.500 how they saw

00:53:27.380 something with

00:53:28.120 their own

00:53:28.520 eyes.

00:53:29.760 And until

00:53:30.440 people are

00:53:31.440 sophisticated

00:53:32.280 enough to

00:53:33.680 know what

00:53:34.100 the fake

00:53:34.460 news is

00:53:34.920 doing,

00:53:35.800 because it

00:53:36.340 seems intentional

00:53:37.660 at this point,

00:53:38.900 until you reach

00:53:39.820 that level of

00:53:40.480 sophistication,

00:53:41.320 you're just

00:53:41.600 locked in your

00:53:42.240 little silo,

00:53:43.380 and you can't

00:53:44.000 get out.

00:53:44.420 Yes,

00:53:48.720 thank you for

00:53:49.640 noticing.

00:53:50.200 I am back

00:53:50.720 in my house,

00:53:51.360 and my house

00:53:52.140 is safe.

00:53:54.300 So I got

00:53:54.920 lucky because

00:53:55.540 I was within

00:53:57.100 walking distance

00:53:58.060 of the fire

00:53:58.940 evacuation zone.

00:54:00.400 I wasn't

00:54:01.060 walking distance

00:54:01.920 to the fire,

00:54:03.320 but the

00:54:03.640 evacuation zone

00:54:04.600 is ahead of

00:54:05.480 the fire.

00:54:06.680 So that got

00:54:07.800 as close as

00:54:08.480 it could get.

00:54:09.220 That was

00:54:09.480 pretty scary.

00:54:11.000 So I'm

00:54:12.980 glad that

00:54:13.380 worked out.

00:54:14.420 Yes,

00:54:18.800 so speaking

00:54:19.580 of spying,

00:54:21.200 I have a

00:54:21.920 guest tomorrow

00:54:23.000 on Periscope

00:54:24.080 if my

00:54:24.600 technology

00:54:25.200 works.

00:54:26.260 George

00:54:26.820 Papadopoulos

00:54:27.700 will be

00:54:28.300 joining me

00:54:28.880 live on

00:54:29.800 Periscope

00:54:30.340 tomorrow

00:54:31.220 morning,

00:54:31.800 usual time.

00:54:33.320 And he's

00:54:33.900 got a book

00:54:34.700 out,

00:54:34.940 we'll talk

00:54:35.260 about that,

00:54:36.340 but I

00:54:37.840 don't know

00:54:38.280 why.

00:54:38.920 It feels

00:54:39.340 to me,

00:54:40.600 see if you

00:54:41.500 have the same

00:54:41.920 feeling,

00:54:42.600 it feels to

00:54:43.280 me as

00:54:43.560 if George

00:54:44.560 Papadopoulos

00:54:45.460 isn't getting

00:54:46.160 enough attention

00:54:47.020 for how much

00:54:48.740 he knows

00:54:49.160 about this

00:54:49.620 story.

00:54:50.440 So I'm

00:54:51.040 going to

00:54:51.240 fix that

00:54:51.680 a little

00:54:51.900 bit,

00:54:52.480 because it

00:54:53.980 was reported

00:54:54.820 as fake

00:54:55.440 news that

00:54:57.060 there was

00:54:58.020 spying on

00:54:58.620 the Trump

00:54:58.940 campaign.

00:54:59.660 The fake

00:55:00.260 news still

00:55:00.780 reports that

00:55:01.380 like it

00:55:01.700 didn't happen.

00:55:03.100 And they

00:55:04.460 still report

00:55:05.040 it like they

00:55:05.520 had perfectly

00:55:06.100 good reasons

00:55:06.860 to be

00:55:08.440 looking into

00:55:08.980 stuff,

00:55:09.680 which is

00:55:10.380 amazing.

00:55:11.180 It's amazing

00:55:11.960 that there's

00:55:12.400 still people

00:55:12.860 who believe

00:55:13.280 that.

00:55:14.120 But maybe

00:55:14.660 George

00:55:14.980 Papadopoulos

00:55:15.740 will give

00:55:16.120 us a little

00:55:16.520 context,

00:55:17.920 and we'll

00:55:19.060 talk to him,

00:55:20.700 if the

00:55:21.160 technology

00:55:21.600 works.

00:55:22.800 I always

00:55:23.420 have a little

00:55:23.760 trouble taking

00:55:24.400 guests on

00:55:25.120 Periscope,

00:55:25.820 but we'll

00:55:26.320 push through

00:55:29.180 it.

00:55:29.560 All right,

00:55:29.840 that's all

00:55:30.120 for now.

00:55:31.020 I'll talk

00:55:31.500 to you

00:55:31.880 later.

00:55:33.180 Thank you.

00:55:39.440 Thank you.
