Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1110 Scott Adams： Spooky Plane Passengers, Trump Health, Mental Slavery, Debunking Hoaxes

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in. It's time for coffee with Scott Adams. Yes, it's a good time. Aren't you glad you're here? All the good stuff's going to happen here in a moment.

00:00:22.720 Yeah, this will be one of the best coffees with Scott Adams. And all you need is, well, not much really. Doesn't take much. Just a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:42.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including riots. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go.

00:00:57.420 Ah, delightful. So I woke up this morning to some trolling from Tom Arnold. It's weird to be a little bit famous like me, because you have encounters with other people who are a little bit famous.

00:01:22.020 And so Tom Arnold came after me and he used the so attack, where you start your tweet with, so, I guess you're saying. And it doesn't matter what comes after the word so. Everything that comes after the word so can just be ignored.

00:01:38.900 Because the word so says, whatever that follows is going to be a misinterpretation of your opinion, followed by a snarky comment on my own misinterpretation of your opinion.

00:01:53.120 So rather than try to interact with people like that, I just tweet it and note it as the so tell for, you know, a tell as an indicator for, I know, you're just looking at my cat behind me.

00:02:08.720 You stopped, you stopped watching me completely as soon as the cat walked by.

00:02:13.260 Anyway, it's the so tell for cognitive dissonance.

00:02:16.940 So Tom Arnold is not what I'd call a good debater.

00:02:23.120 So it looks like the Trump strategy for winning the presidency is, and this isn't funny, but it is.

00:02:38.700 I've said this before in my own defense.

00:02:41.720 There are things that make me laugh that aren't funny, meaning that it's something bad happening to somebody.

00:02:48.160 And there's nothing funny about bad things happening to somebody.

00:02:52.100 But sometimes they make you laugh under just the right conditions.

00:02:56.840 I'm not proud of it.

00:02:58.640 But here's one of those cases.

00:03:01.440 It appears that Trump's strategy for winning the election is to let the Democrats burn down their own stuff.

00:03:09.760 Because they seem to think they, the people on the left, well, first of all, the Democrats believe that the protesters are on their side.

00:03:23.120 Okay, that's the first funny part.

00:03:25.360 The protesters are not on the Democrat side.

00:03:28.880 Now, that should be obvious by the fact that they've surrounded Mayor Ted Wheeler's apartment and set it on fire.

00:03:43.520 It's not funny.

00:03:44.880 There's nothing funny about setting somebody's apartment on fire.

00:03:48.020 That would be the worst tragedy ever.

00:03:50.100 So I'm not laughing.

00:03:51.040 So the Democrats believe that they're helping to protect the people who are literally trapping them in their homes and setting them on fire.

00:04:04.020 And they're thinking, well, maybe this strategy doesn't sound so good on paper.

00:04:12.400 But let us play this out a little bit.

00:04:14.920 Give us a little space.

00:04:16.920 We can make this work.

00:04:18.100 We can make this work.

00:04:21.040 And Trump is just sitting back there saying, I got a whole army.

00:04:30.880 If you want, we can start with the National Guard.

00:04:34.080 But if that's not enough, I've got a whole army.

00:04:37.620 You just have to say, send them in.

00:04:40.500 Because, you know, I'm no dictator.

00:04:43.760 I'm not some kind of authoritarian despot.

00:04:49.560 But I can't just send in military.

00:04:52.560 Can't do that.

00:04:54.060 So you're going to have to ask me.

00:04:57.460 Just checking with you again.

00:04:59.100 Would you like to ask me?

00:05:01.120 And because they can't do anything that he wants them to do, it's just impossible.

00:05:07.920 They just can't agree with him.

00:05:09.500 It's the most diabolical trap I've ever seen. 1.00

00:05:14.260 Because what makes it good is it preys on their own stupidity. 1.00

00:05:18.200 But it does it in a public way. 1.00

00:05:20.580 The public is looking at this and saying,

00:05:23.640 wait, I didn't catch the part about why you don't want the federal help to stop an enormous problem.

00:05:33.120 I wasn't catching the reason.

00:05:37.640 Oh, oh, I get it.

00:05:39.640 When the law enforcement comes in in sufficient numbers to make a problem go away, it makes it worse.

00:05:48.460 That's their argument.

00:05:50.580 That if you make a problem go away, it makes it worse.

00:05:55.500 I guess.

00:05:56.620 So the president has the Democrats in this impossible kill box.

00:06:02.380 I mean, there's just no way out.

00:06:04.040 So they've decided to try to chew through the wall.

00:06:07.800 You know, because they're totally trapped in this, you know, backing domestic terrorism.

00:06:16.340 And every time one of the leaders of, like, Black Lives Matter or one of the organizers

00:06:21.340 says something on the streets that gets recorded, 0.53

00:06:24.380 did something like, you know, they really want to kill all the police or, you know,

00:06:29.160 they're going to burn down everything.

00:06:31.100 And you can see all of the, you can just imagine all the Democrats thinking,

00:06:35.780 oh, we backed the wrong team.

00:06:41.160 We might, maybe we should have done a little research before we went all in on the protesters.

00:06:46.840 So the president has them in this total kill box.

00:06:50.160 They're trying to chew through the wall, as has been widely reported.

00:06:54.320 They're trying to go from, there's no riots here, to, hey, these must be Donald Trump's

00:07:01.060 riots that are happening entirely in Democratic-led cities.

00:07:05.280 And that's what we're promising to give you more of.

00:07:09.080 More of the stuff that Trump can stop in an hour if you just ask.

00:07:14.500 You just have to ask.

00:07:15.520 So the fact that the Democrats are burning down their own stuff to try to win this election

00:07:23.260 is, I don't know, it just seems funny to me.

00:07:29.780 So I had an experiment.

00:07:31.940 I've told you before I have one friend in particular who will just argue to the end of the earth

00:07:38.580 that Trump is orange band bad.

00:07:42.840 And I've tried to not engage him because the TDS is just off the chart, like you can't really deal with him.

00:07:52.240 But the thing that fascinates me is that he's a very rational, very smart, very smart,

00:07:58.360 higher IQ than mind, I would think, and well-informed for citizens in general.

00:08:09.600 But of course, he's well-informed in that Democrat way.

00:08:14.040 The Democrat way of being well-informed is to not know anything because they only watch the fake news,

00:08:19.920 which they are sure is real news, which is funny.

00:08:24.680 It's like they're watching professional wrestling, and they're saying,

00:08:28.100 no, no, that's real.

00:08:31.080 That professional wrestling you see up there, I know people say it's fake,

00:08:35.060 but I'm looking right at it with my own eyes.

00:08:38.180 I mean, look at it.

00:08:39.220 It's obviously real.

00:08:40.240 And of course, the Republicans are saying,

00:08:44.460 you're saying that professional wrestling is real?

00:08:49.860 Because just look at it.

00:08:52.360 It's obviously not real.

00:08:53.980 If you're an adult, just look at it.

00:08:56.440 And the Democrats say, I am looking at it with my own eyes.

00:09:00.380 That's obviously real.

00:09:02.320 So there's this weird world we're in where the Democrats think that their fake news is actually real news.

00:09:07.960 Now, of course, I believe the fake news comes from both the left and the right.

00:09:14.860 So don't put me in the box that says fake news is only coming from one direction,

00:09:20.800 because that's not the box I'm in.

00:09:24.220 Somebody's mentioning Jim Gaffigan.

00:09:26.520 I told you I met Jim Gaffigan a few times, and he was a great guy,

00:09:31.980 but I had to just block him and delete him from my life.

00:09:37.960 And for going full TDS.

00:09:41.840 Anyway, so I talked to my friend who's so smart,

00:09:44.180 and I said, and I tried to convince him that he was only watching fake news.

00:09:51.000 So I started talking him out of the fine people hoax.

00:09:55.040 And I would send him, you know, send him the transcript.

00:09:58.800 I would show him, you know, sending various people debunking it.

00:10:02.800 And finally, finally, I actually got him to understand that the most central part of his belief system,

00:10:12.860 the fine people hoax, didn't happen.

00:10:16.020 I actually accomplished that.

00:10:17.860 I didn't think it could be done.

00:10:19.440 But remember, I told you I'm dealing with somebody who is hyper-rational, super smart.

00:10:24.600 So I thought, under that specific condition,

00:10:29.120 I should be able to break through if I just keep hammering on this.

00:10:32.780 And actually succeeded in convincing him that the fine people hoax didn't happen.

00:10:39.520 Then I had to go to work on the drinking bleach hoax.

00:10:47.840 Hello?

00:10:48.400 Hello?

00:10:48.500 Hello?

00:10:52.440 Hello?

00:10:54.640 I don't know who that was.

00:10:57.240 So I convinced him that the drinking bleach thing was fake, too.

00:11:05.180 So just try to hold this in your mind.

00:11:08.480 I now convinced him that his two biggest belief systems

00:11:11.780 about why the president wouldn't be good for coronavirus and his racial thoughts,

00:11:17.120 the two biggest things were fake news.

00:11:20.760 And I got through.

00:11:22.460 I actually made that case and was successful with lots of sources.

00:11:28.500 So then he was angry at me because he saw a clip,

00:11:33.340 somebody sent him a clip of me apparently believing that Joe Biden was satanic.

00:11:41.120 Now, those of you who have been watching me know that that was a trick that I played.

00:11:46.240 Let's call it a public demonstration in which I said something that I knew would be turned into fake news

00:11:53.160 through the same editing trick as the fine people hoax and the drinking bleach hoax,

00:11:58.680 which is you just take off the clarifying part.

00:12:01.640 So I made sure the clarifying part could be easily deleted.

00:12:05.820 And it was.

00:12:06.400 So sure enough, I became national news, you know, at the B-level news.

00:12:13.520 It never reached the highest levels.

00:12:16.160 But it became a big news story.

00:12:18.300 My friend saw it and said,

00:12:19.500 what's this craziness about you believing there's a satanic connection?

00:12:24.820 And then I showed him the video in which I had explained the entire trick

00:12:30.000 from the original showing, you know, showing that I had said,

00:12:34.080 I don't believe in any of this.

00:12:36.040 It's just confirmation bias.

00:12:38.020 Then I showed him how I planned to have it taken out of context.

00:12:42.040 It was.

00:12:43.260 And it was a good demonstration.

00:12:45.080 Do you know what he said?

00:12:46.960 He said that I,

00:12:48.360 that I had embarrassed him.

00:12:50.940 I had embarrassed him because the people who had contacted him had met me through him

00:13:00.000 some time in the past.

00:13:01.900 And therefore it was embarrassing to him to be associated with me.

00:13:08.200 Wait for it.

00:13:09.780 Because the fake news had taken something that wasn't bad in any way and turned it into fake news

00:13:16.860 that he knew was fake news.

00:13:19.460 But his friends didn't.

00:13:22.180 And so it was embarrassing to him. 0.99

00:13:24.160 And so I'm kind of a jerk. 0.98

00:13:29.380 Nothing about this is even close to a rational situation. 0.98

00:13:36.560 And then, of course, as you know, it always doubles back to,

00:13:40.540 but there weren't any fine people at the Charlottesville.

00:13:43.560 And then I always go back to the top and I say,

00:13:45.980 all right, this will be the third or fourth time I've said the following thing

00:13:50.960 that you pretend I've never said.

00:13:53.760 And I'll say it again.

00:13:55.220 And I will predict.

00:13:56.720 And this is how I finally ended the conversation, I think.

00:14:00.300 I said, I predict that by tomorrow,

00:14:02.680 you're going to pretend I didn't say what I'm going to say right now,

00:14:05.880 which is it doesn't matter who was there at Charlottesville.

00:14:09.220 Because the president stated his assumption of who was there,

00:14:13.320 spoke to his assumption that there were some people who were not racist,

00:14:17.400 who just liked the monuments.

00:14:19.140 That might be true.

00:14:20.740 It might be false.

00:14:22.520 It is irrelevant whether it's true or false,

00:14:25.200 because the only person who checked on it was me.

00:14:29.820 Nobody else checked on it.

00:14:31.080 So if he was wrong,

00:14:33.880 he was just wrong about an assumption,

00:14:35.680 which was actually a completely reasonable assumption,

00:14:39.020 which I later validated personally,

00:14:41.380 by talking to attendees,

00:14:43.100 that he was right.

00:14:44.960 Now, even if he was wrong,

00:14:47.220 it doesn't make any difference,

00:14:48.580 because he spoke to his assumption.

00:14:50.680 And the whole point is,

00:14:51.820 what were you thinking when you said it?

00:14:53.860 That's the point.

00:14:54.840 What were you thinking?

00:14:56.400 And what he was thinking is determined by his assumption,

00:14:59.960 which he stated.

00:15:02.040 So by predicting that he would forget that again in 24 hours,

00:15:08.000 I think it caused him to not pretend he forgot it in 24 hours.

00:15:12.800 So I think that was my breakthrough.

00:15:14.740 I'm not sure.

00:15:17.420 So we got protests in D.C.

00:15:19.980 We had police shot an allegedly armed black man. 0.60

00:15:26.000 I think killed him. 0.73

00:15:27.840 And yeah, they did kill him.

00:15:29.400 So L.A. is erupting.

00:15:32.120 So you got L.A., D.C.,

00:15:33.920 Portland.

00:15:34.760 And here's the interesting part.

00:15:39.800 Rand Paul and the president are both suggesting

00:15:43.640 that there are out-of-town agitators,

00:15:47.200 and if we can find out who's funding them,

00:15:50.300 somebody's going to be in a lot of trouble.

00:15:52.520 And do you think we don't know yet who is funding the people

00:15:58.400 that Trump alleged came in on airplanes

00:16:03.500 and Rand Paul said they had a change of clothes?

00:16:06.520 So it's like they know something already

00:16:09.280 that they're not ready to tell the public

00:16:11.760 or it's not confirmed, I suppose.

00:16:13.200 But I think we're going to find out something interesting there.

00:16:18.500 So some of you are guessing Soros.

00:16:22.900 I'm going to guess.

00:16:24.340 I'm going to be a contrarian.

00:16:26.060 I wouldn't say it's impossible.

00:16:28.760 I wouldn't say it's impossible

00:16:30.480 that George Soros funded an organization

00:16:33.880 that funded some people to travel and protest.

00:16:37.020 That feels like it could have been, possibly.

00:16:40.620 But I think we're going to find somebody else.

00:16:44.940 I don't know who.

00:16:45.880 I don't have a hypothesis.

00:16:48.580 But I think you're going to find somebody else.

00:16:51.660 I would extend that to say that the Tiki Torch guys

00:16:55.200 who were marching in Charlottesville,

00:16:58.140 I don't think they were organic either.

00:17:01.160 They were a little bit too good for the camera,

00:17:04.080 if you know what I mean.

00:17:05.020 And why have we never seen anybody

00:17:07.160 who looked kind of like that group,

00:17:09.640 the Tiki Torch guys?

00:17:10.900 Never saw them before,

00:17:12.660 anybody who looked or presented themselves that way.

00:17:15.820 Never seen it since.

00:17:17.640 Huh.

00:17:18.480 Would you say that the neo-Nazis all went away

00:17:22.240 after that day?

00:17:23.720 Or would you say that they lost interest

00:17:26.080 in any kind of public display?

00:17:29.000 Huh.

00:17:30.020 Lots of questions.

00:17:31.580 So I would guess that what we're seeing now

00:17:33.860 is not completely organic.

00:17:36.020 It's definitely not organic.

00:17:38.120 The trolls that are coming after me

00:17:40.720 and other people online are definitely not organic.

00:17:43.360 Those are coordinated.

00:17:46.140 We know that.

00:17:47.080 And I think Charlottesville was some kind of an operation.

00:17:54.320 I don't know entirely,

00:17:55.620 but there was something going on there.

00:17:58.140 The big story today is that Trump was,

00:18:03.040 that they alleged that Trump went to Walter Reed

00:18:05.900 some time ago

00:18:07.220 and that Pence was put on alert

00:18:10.360 that he could be in charge,

00:18:12.280 depending on what happened there.

00:18:13.820 and there's rumors from the insiders that,

00:18:17.960 oh, how interesting,

00:18:19.840 we don't know the names of the anonymous sources.

00:18:23.540 Well, as you know,

00:18:25.500 anonymous sources are never wrong.

00:18:28.200 Right?

00:18:29.560 There is nothing less reliable

00:18:31.740 than an anonymous source in the White House.

00:18:34.480 That is the least,

00:18:36.260 it's got to be the least credible source

00:18:39.140 of any information.

00:18:40.140 But they're saying that they think he had some mini-strokes.

00:18:44.700 And then there's a video of him

00:18:46.000 appearing to slur his words.

00:18:48.800 Now, I sent the video around

00:18:51.080 and asked if it looked doctored,

00:18:52.960 and people said no.

00:18:54.620 At least one expert said,

00:18:56.100 nope, not doctored.

00:18:58.240 It does look like he either had some

00:19:00.780 dental work that day.

00:19:03.540 He definitely was slurring his speech.

00:19:05.200 There's no doubt about that.

00:19:06.480 But it looks like it was more like dental work.

00:19:08.480 There certainly doesn't seem to be

00:19:10.780 anything wrong with him at the moment.

00:19:13.120 We've watched the president in public

00:19:14.860 continuously and extensively for months.

00:19:19.620 I haven't seen any problem.

00:19:21.920 So we shall keep an eye on that,

00:19:25.400 but it sounds more like an election year thing

00:19:27.800 that you say as more of a response

00:19:29.580 because Biden is falling apart.

00:19:33.340 Rasmussen, the Rasmussen Report polling company,

00:19:37.920 they continue to entertain me

00:19:40.200 by noting that their competitors

00:19:42.720 went silent after the Republican convention.

00:19:49.200 They just stopped publishing their polls for a while.

00:19:52.120 Don't know why.

00:19:53.520 They just stopped publishing.

00:19:56.060 Could it be?

00:19:57.540 Could it be because the polls

00:19:59.260 are so favorable relative

00:20:02.120 to what they were for Trump?

00:20:03.940 Could it be?

00:20:05.820 Because the ones who aren't publishing

00:20:07.620 are the ones that we know

00:20:09.220 are sort of Trump unfriendly,

00:20:11.820 if you know what I mean.

00:20:13.280 So I think that part is hilarious.

00:20:15.160 That's a lot of dogs not barking right now.

00:20:22.320 Everything that we're seeing now

00:20:24.000 seems to be what I call word thinking,

00:20:26.000 where you simply replace

00:20:29.020 the words that fit

00:20:30.960 with your own words

00:20:33.040 and then you act like you said something.

00:20:35.500 For example,

00:20:37.000 when Kyle Rittenhouse

00:20:39.000 shot three people in Kenosha,

00:20:41.840 how is that being described?

00:20:44.340 Well, if you don't like Republicans,

00:20:47.160 you say he was a vigilante,

00:20:49.620 or no,

00:20:50.180 you say he was a

00:20:51.880 a militia member

00:20:53.300 or a white supremacist.

00:20:55.480 There's no indication

00:20:56.680 he was either of those things.

00:20:58.120 No evidence of either of those things.

00:21:00.300 And you say that he

00:21:01.800 killed two protesters.

00:21:06.160 So if you're CNN,

00:21:07.700 that's what he is.

00:21:08.440 He's a militia member 0.98

00:21:09.520 or a white supremacist 0.98

00:21:11.780 and he killed two protesters. 0.98

00:21:13.520 Those poor, innocent protesters.

00:21:15.980 Or if you're Republican,

00:21:17.580 you say he was a patriot

00:21:19.700 who went there

00:21:20.460 to protect people and property,

00:21:22.900 brought his own medical gear

00:21:24.320 to help protesters

00:21:25.360 in case they got shot.

00:21:27.560 And three separate people

00:21:29.800 attacked him

00:21:30.600 and he shot them

00:21:31.580 in self-defense.

00:21:33.380 So he was neither a vigilante,

00:21:35.840 he wasn't going there

00:21:36.940 to hurt anybody,

00:21:38.840 he was actually going there

00:21:39.940 to reduce the amount of

00:21:42.000 damage

00:21:43.980 and maybe the amount of death

00:21:45.760 because he literally

00:21:47.080 brought medical equipment with him.

00:21:49.220 to help.

00:21:50.440 And he even stopped

00:21:51.460 to see if he could help

00:21:52.280 the guy he shot.

00:21:54.320 So, you know,

00:21:55.540 he was closer to a Boy Scout

00:21:57.200 than a white supremacist 1.00

00:21:59.600 who wants to go shoot people. 1.00

00:22:01.820 But that's the world we live in

00:22:03.440 where Kyle is now,

00:22:06.040 for all practical purposes,

00:22:07.800 he's a political prisoner.

00:22:09.780 Wouldn't you say?

00:22:12.380 Wouldn't you say that Kyle

00:22:13.720 is a political prisoner

00:22:15.200 at this point?

00:22:15.900 Because the video

00:22:17.100 is pretty clear

00:22:19.880 that he was being chased

00:22:22.260 and was at great bodily risk

00:22:25.020 immediately before he was shooting.

00:22:28.400 I mean, that's right on the video,

00:22:29.800 you can just see it.

00:22:31.080 Now the question about

00:22:32.140 the legality of the gun,

00:22:34.160 according to his lawyer

00:22:35.560 who was on Tucker last night,

00:22:37.680 the gun did not cross state lines.

00:22:40.580 He does have a right to have it,

00:22:43.240 it's open carry.

00:22:45.640 It was legal,

00:22:46.480 apparently it was a legal firearm

00:22:47.880 that he had legal right

00:22:49.160 to have in his possession.

00:22:51.180 Now, it may not have been

00:22:52.320 a good idea,

00:22:53.480 which is a separate question,

00:22:55.320 but what we know so far

00:22:57.100 is that no crime

00:22:58.400 was even close

00:22:59.560 to being committed

00:23:00.420 if you take, you know,

00:23:03.080 reasonable doubt

00:23:03.760 as a standard.

00:23:04.880 Because the video

00:23:06.120 has, at the very least,

00:23:08.920 even if you were the most

00:23:10.220 anti-Kyle person

00:23:12.580 in the world,

00:23:13.580 you'd have to admit

00:23:14.600 that the video,

00:23:16.200 at the very least,

00:23:17.800 shows a massive amount

00:23:19.300 of doubt

00:23:20.000 about what happened.

00:23:22.540 And that's all you need

00:23:23.360 to be innocent

00:23:24.200 if there's doubt.

00:23:26.220 And I would say

00:23:27.380 that my interpretation

00:23:28.440 is that it went beyond doubt

00:23:30.140 and that it's obvious

00:23:31.720 that it was self-defense.

00:23:33.020 It's just obvious

00:23:33.700 if you watch the videos.

00:23:36.680 But videos lie,

00:23:38.000 so maybe there's something

00:23:38.860 we don't know. 0.98

00:23:41.120 The most ridiculous story 0.98

00:23:45.220 is this one about 0.97

00:23:47.220 the finding that maybe

00:23:49.720 only 6% of the coronavirus

00:23:52.880 deaths in this country

00:23:54.240 were from people

00:23:55.940 who had no comorbidities.

00:23:58.600 And, in fact,

00:23:59.820 they usually had two or three

00:24:02.020 if they died.

00:24:02.820 Now,

00:24:04.720 people are hailing this

00:24:06.260 as a big insight

00:24:08.320 that changes everything.

00:24:11.200 I don't understand that.

00:24:13.420 This is exactly

00:24:14.660 what I thought

00:24:15.460 was the situation.

00:24:17.080 What did you think

00:24:18.080 was the situation?

00:24:19.600 I thought the situation

00:24:20.980 was if you had comorbidities,

00:24:22.760 you'd be in trouble.

00:24:23.840 If you didn't,

00:24:24.920 you wouldn't be

00:24:25.420 in that much trouble.

00:24:26.560 The risk was low.

00:24:28.120 Did this change anything?

00:24:30.360 I think people are taking

00:24:31.740 the 6% to mean 0.93

00:24:33.180 more than it means.

00:24:34.900 Because the whole point

00:24:35.980 of it is

00:24:36.480 that we live in a country

00:24:38.060 where there are just

00:24:38.940 tens of millions of people

00:24:40.680 who have comorbidities.

00:24:42.600 What are they going to do?

00:24:43.860 Stay home?

00:24:45.580 You know,

00:24:46.840 if you just took people

00:24:48.680 who are overweight

00:24:49.440 and said,

00:24:50.260 all right, all right,

00:24:51.300 only the overweight people

00:24:52.780 have to stay home

00:24:54.180 and everybody else

00:24:54.940 can go about their business,

00:24:56.620 that would still be

00:24:57.440 two-thirds of adults.

00:24:58.540 They'd have to stay home.

00:25:00.440 Isn't that something

00:25:01.080 like two-thirds of adults

00:25:02.420 are heavier than

00:25:03.880 they need to be?

00:25:04.880 And then you throw in

00:25:05.840 anything else

00:25:06.560 that they might have

00:25:07.280 like hypertension.

00:25:11.580 I mean,

00:25:12.280 I've got

00:25:13.040 two comorbidities.

00:25:16.120 I'm 63,

00:25:17.620 probably in better shape

00:25:19.260 than, you know,

00:25:19.960 99% of people my age.

00:25:22.060 And even I have

00:25:22.900 two comorbidities.

00:25:24.320 So it's so common.

00:25:25.400 I don't know

00:25:25.740 that it changes anything

00:25:26.700 compared to what

00:25:28.760 we thought was

00:25:29.660 the situation.

00:25:31.660 J.P. Morgan

00:25:32.600 is warning people

00:25:33.740 or alerting them,

00:25:35.580 I guess,

00:25:36.120 that they should be

00:25:37.240 prepared for the

00:25:38.220 rising odds

00:25:39.200 of a Trump win.

00:25:41.180 So they're looking

00:25:41.860 at all the trends

00:25:42.720 and saying,

00:25:43.480 uh,

00:25:43.860 if these trends continue,

00:25:45.240 it looks like

00:25:45.860 it's Trump all the way.

00:25:47.780 So I would argue

00:25:48.800 that the stock market

00:25:49.960 has already built that in.

00:25:51.160 So the predicted model

00:25:53.620 has totally closed

00:25:54.700 the gap

00:25:55.260 to almost statistical tie.

00:25:58.720 The stock market

00:26:00.640 is clearly voting

00:26:01.740 in favor of a

00:26:03.100 Trump win.

00:26:03.960 That's obvious.

00:26:05.380 And now J.P.

00:26:06.740 Morgan is saying

00:26:07.300 it directly.

00:26:08.880 All right.

00:26:11.700 I have an opinion

00:26:13.420 that mental slavery 0.67

00:26:15.120 is one of the worst

00:26:16.080 outcomes

00:26:16.660 from systemic

00:26:18.000 racism.

00:26:19.420 and it goes

00:26:21.460 like this.

00:26:22.640 You know,

00:26:22.860 it's been said,

00:26:23.920 people have made

00:26:24.420 the analogy

00:26:24.960 that the black

00:26:26.620 vote usually

00:26:28.660 goes for the Democrats,

00:26:30.300 so that's some kind

00:26:31.200 of a plantation thing.

00:26:32.740 People like to use 0.67

00:26:33.420 that imagery.

00:26:34.580 I find that a little

00:26:35.520 offensive,

00:26:36.140 the plantation part

00:26:36.960 of it anyway.

00:26:37.980 So I don't like to use

00:26:39.240 the plantation part.

00:26:40.860 You know, 0.97

00:26:41.060 if you're black, 0.98

00:26:42.080 you can say that. 0.96

00:26:43.400 If you're not black, 1.00

00:26:44.480 maybe stay away 0.99

00:26:45.140 from that plantation word.

00:26:46.500 It just feels a little

00:26:47.360 icky and

00:26:48.560 inappropriate.

00:26:50.880 But I would say

00:26:53.180 that one of the

00:26:54.180 outcomes of

00:26:54.940 systemic racism

00:26:55.940 that is just

00:26:57.200 100%

00:26:57.980 a big problem

00:26:59.380 is the school

00:27:01.140 systems not being

00:27:02.160 adequate.

00:27:02.780 And of course,

00:27:03.280 it's the teachers'

00:27:04.680 unions that are

00:27:05.220 the cause of

00:27:05.940 all the problems.

00:27:07.540 And because the

00:27:08.120 teachers' 0.80

00:27:08.580 unions,

00:27:09.180 you know,

00:27:10.300 perpetuate

00:27:11.000 bad education

00:27:12.520 by removing

00:27:13.440 competition,

00:27:14.520 which would allow

00:27:15.540 it to improve,

00:27:16.180 you end up

00:27:18.700 with 0.99

00:27:19.560 black citizens

00:27:21.600 who are 1.00

00:27:22.080 undereducated

00:27:23.260 compared to

00:27:24.020 what we would

00:27:25.340 all like to see

00:27:26.120 a better situation.

00:27:28.100 And I think

00:27:28.800 that that also

00:27:29.820 allows them

00:27:31.380 to be duped

00:27:32.260 by Democrats

00:27:33.360 a little bit

00:27:33.980 easier.

00:27:35.140 In other words,

00:27:35.920 your total level

00:27:37.060 of education

00:27:37.760 is one of the

00:27:39.340 things that can

00:27:39.960 protect you.

00:27:41.120 As I said

00:27:42.220 with my other

00:27:42.780 example of

00:27:43.420 my highly

00:27:44.440 educated,

00:27:45.220 smart friend,

00:27:46.700 it took a lot

00:27:47.580 of convincing

00:27:48.100 to convince him

00:27:49.660 that he was

00:27:50.200 watching fake news.

00:27:51.480 But suppose

00:27:52.100 you had a much

00:27:53.140 lower level

00:27:53.800 of education.

00:27:55.120 It would be

00:27:55.600 a lot harder

00:27:56.700 to convince you

00:27:58.800 that you were

00:27:59.240 being fooled.

00:28:00.800 And so,

00:28:01.500 the Democrats

00:28:02.200 take advantage

00:28:03.340 of that situation

00:28:04.240 to feed 0.97

00:28:05.880 the black 0.99

00:28:06.700 voters 1.00

00:28:07.160 ridiculous 0.99

00:28:09.000 version of 0.99

00:28:10.960 reality

00:28:11.460 in which

00:28:12.640 they're

00:28:13.040 trapped

00:28:13.680 in this

00:28:14.040 world

00:28:14.300 they can't

00:28:14.800 get out

00:28:15.140 of

00:28:15.380 and it's

00:28:16.080 somebody

00:28:16.640 else's

00:28:17.060 fault,

00:28:17.460 I guess.

00:28:18.560 But

00:28:18.820 Kanye,

00:28:22.100 to pick

00:28:23.260 a classic

00:28:24.880 example,

00:28:26.100 or somebody

00:28:26.600 like

00:28:27.000 Sol,

00:28:30.260 you know,

00:28:30.600 economist

00:28:31.080 Sol,

00:28:31.760 or Candace

00:28:32.460 Owens,

00:28:33.700 have seen

00:28:35.760 through the

00:28:36.300 illusion

00:28:36.680 and they can

00:28:38.080 see the

00:28:38.460 open door.

00:28:39.720 And they can

00:28:40.320 see that,

00:28:40.780 okay,

00:28:41.340 sure,

00:28:41.800 maybe not

00:28:42.280 every door

00:28:42.960 is open

00:28:43.520 to every

00:28:44.260 black person

00:28:44.940 in every 0.98

00:28:45.320 situation.

00:28:46.680 It's an

00:28:47.500 imperfect

00:28:47.860 system,

00:28:48.540 we need to

00:28:49.000 fix all that

00:28:49.520 stuff too.

00:28:50.580 But there

00:28:50.940 is an

00:28:51.220 open door.

00:28:53.020 If white 0.64

00:28:54.260 people have 0.81

00:28:54.820 three doors 0.61

00:28:55.640 and black

00:28:57.040 people have

00:28:57.620 one or

00:28:58.140 two,

00:28:59.180 you can

00:28:59.580 still all

00:29:00.220 get out.

00:29:01.780 You can

00:29:02.420 still all

00:29:02.960 get out.

00:29:04.180 Because you

00:29:04.800 got a door.

00:29:06.080 Now your

00:29:06.480 door is

00:29:06.900 different than

00:29:07.320 my door

00:29:07.760 maybe,

00:29:08.160 but everybody's

00:29:08.740 got a door.

00:29:09.620 And if you

00:29:09.980 can't see

00:29:10.440 the door,

00:29:11.740 somebody is

00:29:12.500 blinding you

00:29:13.260 to it.

00:29:14.960 And that's

00:29:16.000 the mental

00:29:16.760 slavery part.

00:29:19.400 So right

00:29:20.780 now you're

00:29:21.160 seeing the

00:29:23.400 protesters

00:29:25.260 seemingly in

00:29:27.120 favor of

00:29:27.840 no police

00:29:28.600 protection.

00:29:31.860 That's just

00:29:32.820 the lack

00:29:33.240 of education,

00:29:34.220 isn't it?

00:29:35.060 Anybody who

00:29:35.920 is in favor

00:29:36.620 fear of

00:29:37.640 getting rid

00:29:38.160 of police

00:29:38.700 protection?

00:29:40.180 It's hard

00:29:40.780 to see that

00:29:41.300 as a

00:29:41.640 philosophy.

00:29:43.200 That's not

00:29:43.820 a political

00:29:45.040 opinion.

00:29:46.340 That is

00:29:46.860 just an

00:29:47.440 educational

00:29:49.240 failure,

00:29:49.960 I would

00:29:50.160 say.

00:29:51.020 So a lot

00:29:51.520 of what

00:29:51.920 the protesters

00:29:53.120 are asking

00:29:53.860 for are

00:29:54.360 things that

00:29:54.860 if they

00:29:55.160 got them

00:29:55.600 it would

00:29:55.820 be the

00:29:56.080 worst

00:29:56.300 thing that

00:29:56.660 could

00:29:56.800 possibly

00:29:57.180 happen.

00:29:57.520 It would

00:29:58.180 be the

00:29:58.720 end of

00:29:59.060 everything.

00:30:00.100 And they

00:30:00.600 don't know

00:30:01.020 that.

00:30:01.360 and I

00:30:02.400 think

00:30:02.660 education

00:30:03.260 has a

00:30:03.820 big role

00:30:04.960 in that.

00:30:06.240 Yeah,

00:30:06.480 Thomas Sowell

00:30:07.220 is someone

00:30:08.680 who can

00:30:09.060 see the

00:30:09.420 open door

00:30:09.980 better than

00:30:11.300 most.

00:30:12.800 Larry Elder,

00:30:13.660 another good

00:30:14.060 example,

00:30:14.680 yeah.

00:30:17.040 All right,

00:30:17.920 somebody says

00:30:21.900 not necessarily

00:30:22.760 but I don't

00:30:23.320 know who

00:30:23.620 you're talking

00:30:24.000 about.

00:30:25.480 All right,

00:30:25.960 that's,

00:30:26.600 I don't have

00:30:27.200 much else

00:30:27.640 to say

00:30:27.980 today.

00:30:28.720 It's going

00:30:29.300 to be just

00:30:29.800 a lit

00:30:30.580 totally

00:30:31.760 crazy

00:30:32.300 week.

00:30:35.600 Somebody

00:30:36.080 says their

00:30:36.620 door is

00:30:37.100 locked.

00:30:40.060 All right,

00:30:40.740 I don't

00:30:40.960 have much

00:30:41.360 else today

00:30:41.900 but as

00:30:43.260 everybody

00:30:43.620 has noted

00:30:44.240 this next

00:30:45.060 few months

00:30:45.540 are just

00:30:45.900 going to

00:30:46.100 be so

00:30:46.580 full of

00:30:47.020 news,

00:30:47.400 it's

00:30:47.540 going to

00:30:47.700 be crazy

00:30:48.220 but it 0.68

00:30:49.000 looks like

00:30:49.480 for the

00:30:49.900 moment

00:30:50.200 the Trump

00:30:51.460 campaign

00:30:51.960 is just

00:30:52.400 going to

00:30:52.620 let the

00:30:53.080 Democrats

00:30:54.580 have their

00:30:55.200 way,

00:30:56.000 which is

00:30:56.460 burn up

00:30:57.020 their own

00:30:57.360 stuff until

00:30:57.900 there's

00:30:58.140 nothing

00:30:58.360 left.

00:30:59.500 And they

00:31:00.460 think

00:31:00.720 they'll

00:31:00.920 win

00:31:01.100 with

00:31:01.280 that.

00:31:02.980 Maybe.

00:31:04.080 Anything's

00:31:04.620 possible.

00:31:05.720 All right,

00:31:06.160 I'll talk

00:31:06.540 to you

00:31:06.900 later.
