00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, here's a little quiz for you.
00:00:13.320 What's the best time of the day?
00:00:16.180 I'm waiting, I'm waiting, that's right, that's right.
00:00:18.880 The best time of the day is right now.
00:00:21.740 And it's happening with Coffee with Scott Adams and the Simultaneous Sip.
00:00:26.560 How good is that?
00:00:28.520 What a way to kick off a great day.
00:00:31.120 Have you noticed that 2020 has been generally quite crappy?
00:00:36.280 I don't like to overgeneralize, but I think you'd agree with me.
00:00:40.720 2020, a little bit crappy.
00:00:43.840 Things are going to look up, though.
00:00:45.080 I'm calling today the turn.
00:00:47.600 Today's the turn.
00:00:48.940 Today's the day when there will be slightly more things going right than going wrong.
00:00:54.380 And watch how the number of things going right continues to increase
00:00:58.780 while the number of things going wrong continues to diminish.
00:01:03.340 2021 is going to be lit.
00:01:05.780 Off the hook.
00:01:07.680 And any other old hackneyed expression you'd like to put on that.
00:01:12.140 But first, the simultaneous sip.
00:01:15.180 What do you need?
00:01:16.460 You need a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein,
00:01:19.760 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:22.940 Fill it with your favorite liquid I like, coffee.
00:01:27.440 And join me now for the dopamine to the day,
00:01:29.640 the thing that makes everything better, including 2020.
00:01:34.980 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:38.160 Go.
00:01:42.440 Yeah.
00:01:43.560 Yeah, that's working.
00:01:45.240 I can feel the improvement coming.
00:01:48.660 Well, let's talk about hair gate.
00:01:50.640 What could be more important in a time of multiple crises?
00:01:56.300 What could be more important than Nancy Pelosi's hair?
00:02:00.080 Nothing I can think of.
00:02:01.740 So let's talk about that endlessly.
00:02:05.140 So you know the story.
00:02:06.620 Nancy Pelosi went to a hairdresser, didn't wear her mask,
00:02:10.140 went inside where people are not supposed to be,
00:02:13.340 claimed that her explanation is that she was set up.
00:02:20.640 The local hairdresser set her up.
00:02:25.520 Now, even Don Lemon didn't buy that excuse.
00:02:29.940 If you can't sell your Democrat story to Don Lemon,
00:02:38.860 you can't sell it to anybody.
00:02:41.600 So Don Lemon even rejected her story.
00:02:44.200 That was pretty funny.
00:02:47.460 But here's the question unanswered.
00:02:51.920 How did Fox News get a copy?
00:02:53.800 I think Fox News got it first.
00:02:56.260 How did Fox News get a copy of a security camera
00:02:59.740 in a specific hairdresser?
00:03:01.660 Nobody asked that question.
00:03:05.260 It's like, so even Tucker Carlson had the proprietor on,
00:03:10.660 the woman who owned the shop that Nancy Pelosi was at.
00:03:17.080 And Tucker never asked the question,
00:03:20.560 so whose idea was it to give the security camera footage to Fox News?
00:03:28.900 Let's just not ask that question,
00:03:31.080 because that doesn't matter.
00:03:34.120 This is the dumbest story.
00:03:36.320 I couldn't care less about Nancy Pelosi wearing or not wearing her mask.
00:03:40.620 And I get it.
00:03:42.040 It's, you know, hypocrisy and everything.
00:03:44.420 Literally the smallest problem I have.
00:03:48.160 And by the way,
00:03:50.000 if somebody had told Nancy Pelosi,
00:03:53.740 it's okay to be indoors if it's just one person,
00:03:57.340 doesn't that actually make sense?
00:04:00.120 The whole point of not being indoors
00:04:02.800 is that you don't want multiple people indoors.
00:04:06.600 But if the only people indoors
00:04:08.460 are the same person who would have worked on them
00:04:11.400 if it were outdoors,
00:04:13.920 I don't know.
00:04:15.120 Does that make a difference?
00:04:16.320 That you're indoors?
00:04:18.000 Doesn't seem like it was a big health risk,
00:04:21.340 but I get why people say it's hypocrisy.
00:04:24.280 All right.
00:04:24.700 Here's a little quiz for you.
00:04:27.840 It's a very simple quiz.
00:04:30.320 And I want to see if you can pass it.
00:04:32.720 Okay?
00:04:33.620 And this will be a test to see if I've taught you anything.
00:04:38.460 If I've taught you anything,
00:04:40.580 you will get this test right.
00:04:43.660 And if you think,
00:04:44.560 hey, is there a trick to this?
00:04:47.080 Well, there might be.
00:04:48.720 There might be.
00:04:49.980 So keep one part of your brain alert for a trick.
00:04:54.360 And it goes like this.
00:04:56.180 Suppose you had two opposing armies.
00:05:00.000 They all had exactly the same kind of gun.
00:05:03.340 No difference.
00:05:04.520 Same kind of gun.
00:05:05.580 Whatever gun it is.
00:05:06.460 It's the same one.
00:05:08.400 One army are sharpshooters.
00:05:11.660 And every single person in that one army
00:05:14.660 hits their target every time they shoot.
00:05:19.040 Every time.
00:05:19.600 The other army is not so good at shooting.
00:05:25.000 They only hit their target 80% of the time.
00:05:28.540 It's pretty good.
00:05:29.600 It's pretty good, right?
00:05:30.960 80% of the time.
00:05:32.420 But they're up against an army that hits their target every single time.
00:05:36.800 Literally every bullet they fire will hit the other army people in a deadly place.
00:05:43.700 So they have a battle.
00:05:46.660 Exactly the same guns.
00:05:48.260 Let's say, just to keep it fun, exactly the same amount of ammo.
00:05:52.800 Same guns, same ammo.
00:05:54.840 They face off two armies.
00:05:57.180 One is 100% accuracy.
00:05:59.160 The other is 80%.
00:06:00.100 Who wins the battle?
00:06:01.720 Go.
00:06:01.980 Have I taught you anything?
00:06:04.940 Have I taught you anything?
00:06:07.340 I'll know in a moment when I see your responses.
00:06:11.840 All right.
00:06:12.300 It looks like you're still talking about the hairdressing stuff.
00:06:15.720 So too much of a lag for a group question.
00:06:19.920 Yeah, there is a little bit of a lag there.
00:06:22.780 Here's the answer to the question.
00:06:24.320 It depends how many people are in each army.
00:06:29.660 If you didn't get that, I've taught you nothing.
00:06:34.240 And here's why this is important.
00:06:37.100 Because imagine, if you will, the army that shoots perfectly has five people in it.
00:06:42.920 That's it.
00:06:43.940 The whole army.
00:06:44.780 It's just five people.
00:06:46.200 The army they're up against, who are not as good at shooting, but they're about 80% accurate,
00:06:52.000 has 1,000 people in it.
00:06:55.200 It's not even close.
00:06:57.260 The 1,000 shooters who are 80% accurate would destroy the five people who are perfectly accurate
00:07:03.700 in the first second.
00:07:05.280 The entire battle would last less than a second.
00:07:11.500 Right?
00:07:12.660 Now, that's obvious to you once I explain it, isn't it?
00:07:16.040 But when I first set this up, you said to yourself, probably, if I set it up correctly,
00:07:21.140 well, obviously, the people who are better at shooting, if all the weapons are the same,
00:07:27.300 the good shooters should win.
00:07:29.020 Why is this important?
00:07:30.060 Because this is the same mental trick that is preventing us, I think, from having inexpensive
00:07:37.320 saliva strips as coronavirus tests.
00:07:41.200 So here's the competing sides.
00:07:45.600 We have these accurate tests that will get the right answer really, really well.
00:07:50.880 But they're slow, and they require a health care professional, and you need some kind of
00:07:56.700 a device usually.
00:07:57.800 That means that as accurate as you are, you can't do much.
00:08:04.020 In other words, your volume is always going to be really low because of the limitations
00:08:08.280 of the testing device.
00:08:09.820 The one that's not legal yet, the FDA doesn't allow it, are these little saliva test strips,
00:08:18.240 which haven't been built, by the way.
00:08:19.920 You can build them in the laboratory to know that it's possible.
00:08:23.400 There's not much to the construction of it.
00:08:26.420 So we're not too worried that you could make them in volume.
00:08:29.520 It's just nobody's doing it because it's not legal.
00:08:32.680 But let's say those test strips were, I think it's more than 80%, but let's say they're
00:08:37.840 85% accurate, but they're a dollar.
00:08:41.840 You can do it at home with a health care professional, and you can do it all day long.
00:08:45.920 You could test every person coming into the building, every person coming into a sporting
00:08:49.760 event, every person everywhere several times a day because you get an instant result, cost
00:08:56.020 you a dollar, 85% accurate.
00:08:59.660 There's no competition between which of them is the better method.
00:09:05.160 They're not even close, but your brain first says, why would I ever want an inaccurate test
00:09:13.860 when I could have an accurate one?
00:09:17.100 And that's why I gave you the analogy of the two armies.
00:09:20.500 It's just like that.
00:09:22.160 Now, of course, I teach you quite famously that analogies are not persuasive.
00:09:29.860 There's no persuasion going on here.
00:09:33.700 Analogies are good for introducing a new concept.
00:09:37.580 If the concept itself makes sense, then I guess in some sense you'd say, oh, I just learned
00:09:43.000 a new thing, and therefore I'm convinced.
00:09:45.800 But that's not persuasion.
00:09:47.840 That's just if you knew more, you might make better decisions.
00:09:50.640 That's all that is.
00:09:51.440 So I use the analogy just to reorient your brain to thinking of two armies, the bigger
00:09:58.780 army, which is a zillion test strips that everybody's testing, testing, testing all day
00:10:04.580 long, versus these very pinpoint, very accurate tests that you can't do very many of them no
00:10:11.120 matter what you do.
00:10:12.440 You just can't ramp them up enough.
00:10:14.760 So, I still don't know why we're not doing more of these test strips.
00:10:22.040 I think it's because somebody doesn't understand that the big army always beats the small army,
00:10:27.360 even if they're less accurate.
00:10:29.920 But maybe there's something else.
00:10:31.540 So I'll be open-minded.
00:10:32.600 There might be some excuse or explanation that I don't know.
00:10:35.840 Let me give you an update on my funniest liberal friend, who I debate just to see what kind
00:10:44.240 of craziness comes out of him.
00:10:46.660 He told me yesterday he doesn't watch my periscopes, so I can speak with complete abandon.
00:10:53.660 Now, what's interesting about my liberal friend is not that he's dumb.
00:10:57.720 It's the opposite.
00:10:59.200 What makes it interesting is he's really smart, not even just ordinary smart.
00:11:04.080 I'm talking about way above average smart, but disagrees with me completely on Trump-related
00:11:10.980 stuff.
00:11:12.020 So here's the tortured path that he takes.
00:11:16.760 I try to get him to admit just one thing at a time, because he likes to do the laundry
00:11:22.920 list approach.
00:11:24.620 And the one thing I'm trying to get him to admit is that Russian collusion was shown to
00:11:30.660 not exist.
00:11:31.400 Just that very one thing.
00:11:34.760 And what do you think is his response?
00:11:37.820 Oh, no.
00:11:39.120 Mueller said there was plenty of obstruction.
00:11:42.840 And what about all those people who did get charged and went to jail?
00:11:47.400 And what about the fact that the Russia troll farms tried to interfere?
00:11:52.800 To which I say, none of that is Russian collusion.
00:11:58.920 You understand that none of that is Russian collusion.
00:12:03.420 And as smart as he is, he's conflated all of those things into being something that he's
00:12:10.680 willing to argue is in the same category of Russian collusion.
00:12:14.700 But he won't say that directly, because it would be crazy to say it directly.
00:12:18.700 So this is clear cognitive dissonance, because he existed for, I don't know, two years or
00:12:25.460 whatever, thinking that Russian collusion, because he told me, was real.
00:12:30.200 Once it was proven not to be real or proven that there's no evidence to suggest it's real, he
00:12:38.200 couldn't leave it.
00:12:39.620 So he's decided to just redefine it as a whole bunch of other things that are not Russia collusion
00:12:45.720 and just call it that and literally just give it a different name.
00:12:49.800 That is the most classic cognitive dissonance you'll ever see.
00:12:54.320 But here's the funny part.
00:12:56.200 He accused me in the same conversation of having cognitive dissonance.
00:13:00.800 And he gave this following example.
00:13:03.580 He said, I know you have cognitive dissonance, I'm paraphrasing, because 100% of the time you
00:13:10.220 just say that Trump is right.
00:13:11.720 And since we know that couldn't be possibly, you know, legitimate, that Trump is just always
00:13:18.820 right, and everything he does is good, that can't be true.
00:13:23.880 So therefore, we have proven that you, Scott, have cognitive dissonance.
00:13:28.460 To which I said, the very email I sent before this had a long explanation of me viciously criticizing
00:13:37.660 the president on this very question of the test strips.
00:13:41.040 So without prompting, I had just viciously criticized President Trump for this one topic within
00:13:49.240 the testing category.
00:13:51.940 And immediately after watching that, my friend accuses me of never being able to criticize
00:13:58.420 the president.
00:13:59.600 To which I say, I just did that.
00:14:03.980 I just did that right in front of you.
00:14:06.360 Very, very noticeably, I made a big point of it.
00:14:09.960 Without even being asked, no prompting whatsoever.
00:14:14.100 Big, vicious criticism.
00:14:16.140 And I noted that I've done it many times before.
00:14:20.180 It's just pure craziness.
00:14:22.700 Anyway.
00:14:26.660 I asked my friend, and I'll ask you the same question.
00:14:29.680 So my liberal friend says there are many examples of Trump failing in terms of the coronavirus
00:14:35.900 situation.
00:14:38.560 And so I try to ask, what are those examples?
00:14:42.940 And I'm not claiming that there are no examples.
00:14:46.080 My claim from the start, before anybody had any track record of managing this crisis, I said,
00:14:54.220 at the very first start, everybody's going to be guessing.
00:14:58.600 And so if you're looking back later and say, oh, these people got it wrong, you're just being
00:15:04.120 a jerk.
00:15:05.000 Because nobody knew what to do on day one.
00:15:07.580 Nobody knew.
00:15:08.920 Everybody did different things.
00:15:10.360 Some were going to work.
00:15:11.100 Some weren't.
00:15:11.800 It wasn't because they were smart.
00:15:13.580 It was because everybody guessed differently, and somebody was going to get a better result.
00:15:17.860 So I asked for specifics.
00:15:19.940 And here are the types of things I get.
00:15:22.000 And I don't quite understand it.
00:15:24.540 Here's the biggest one.
00:15:26.800 There's a belief that if we had been better at testing early on, we could have, in other
00:15:33.440 words, if the president had done something differently in terms of testing, we could have tested our
00:15:38.680 way to safety the way other countries did.
00:15:42.420 Now, can you do with me a fact check?
00:15:44.460 My understanding is that there were no experts who thought we could test our way to safety.
00:15:51.500 In other words, my claim, and I want to fact check on this, is that Fauci and Birx,
00:15:56.480 you know, the two experts that we looked at the most, I believe that neither of them thought
00:16:03.220 that we had the testing facilities or could get them quickly enough that we could ever just
00:16:09.920 test our way out.
00:16:15.140 Somebody says, wrong again, Scotty.
00:16:17.160 I can't tell if you're being sarcastic.
00:16:18.820 I was going to block you, but I think you're just joking.
00:16:20.700 Can somebody confirm that?
00:16:25.400 And why is it that I don't, somebody says I'm being correct.
00:16:29.520 Yeah.
00:16:30.240 So my understanding is if you had a little island country and you've got a, you know,
00:16:34.960 a dozen people with it, you could pretty, pretty well do some contact tracing in that situation.
00:16:41.740 But I don't think, I don't think that our experts ever told Trump that with the testing,
00:16:49.080 we did have what was possible at the time, again, the limitation is we just didn't have
00:16:54.260 enough testing of the right type, which isn't exactly Trump's fault, is it?
00:16:59.260 How could you be ready to test something that didn't exist yet?
00:17:02.260 I don't know how that would even work.
00:17:04.460 And I would point out that if we didn't have the ability to rapidly ramp up new kinds of
00:17:10.260 tests, that we also didn't have that during the Obama administration.
00:17:14.920 So wouldn't they be identical?
00:17:16.420 Well, Obama didn't have an ability to rapidly ramp up for a test for a coronavirus that didn't
00:17:22.640 yet exist.
00:17:23.720 Trump also didn't have the ability to quickly ramp up to test for a coronavirus that didn't
00:17:29.860 exist.
00:17:30.440 How are they different?
00:17:33.200 All right.
00:17:34.140 So that, I think he's just uninformed, but maybe I'm the one.
00:17:40.000 Here's another one.
00:17:40.920 Um, he didn't have enough PPE and ventilators, right?
00:17:46.080 But wouldn't it be true that we didn't have any in the warehouse from Obama either?
00:17:51.080 Did Obama have any?
00:17:53.060 Was there any other country that had stockpiled enough PPE and ventilators?
00:17:59.020 I think the answer is no.
00:18:00.900 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think every single country in the world didn't, didn't prepare
00:18:07.020 in the way that we ultimately wish we had of with, you know, the PPE, et cetera.
00:18:12.500 So I don't think he was any different than any other leader, was he?
00:18:15.880 Unprepared.
00:18:17.420 Some say he should have used the War Powers Act sooner.
00:18:20.860 But what exactly would that have gotten us?
00:18:24.640 Because there's no evidence that shows that that would have therefore done what?
00:18:30.860 I don't know.
00:18:31.800 Nobody died for a lack of PPE.
00:18:34.600 Therefore, the way we did it worked.
00:18:37.080 Nobody imagines that the War Power Act could have created enough testing fast enough.
00:18:43.360 I don't think.
00:18:44.320 Does anybody think that?
00:18:46.180 I didn't see Fauci and Birx recommending that.
00:18:50.860 There's the argument that Trump disbanded some, whatever it was, some epidemiology group
00:19:00.460 or pandemic group in the government.
00:19:03.560 I think that it's true that they were disbanded, but I think it's fake news that it made any
00:19:09.040 difference, because my understanding is those functions just were distributed to existing
00:19:14.760 departments.
00:19:16.540 So it wasn't a real change.
00:19:18.160 It was a sort of a change on paper.
00:19:20.480 It wasn't a change in function.
00:19:22.520 So it probably didn't make any difference.
00:19:24.980 What about the, you know, you should have shut down more aggressively?
00:19:30.480 Well, that ignores the fact that the economy is the other part of the equation.
00:19:35.800 Nobody really knows what was the right amount to shut down, do they?
00:19:40.760 I don't think anybody knows that, because you would have to wait for the economy to play
00:19:45.760 out over years to find out if more people died from the shutdown and the economic disruption
00:19:52.760 than died from the coronavirus.
00:19:55.220 So that's sort of an unknown.
00:19:56.640 All right.
00:19:58.180 Let's talk about Black Lives Matter and all that.
00:20:00.980 Jack Posobiec on Twitter yesterday was tweeting that, and actually showed, the Minnesota Police
00:20:10.400 Training Manual specifically shows using your knee on a suspect's head exactly the way Chauvin,
00:20:20.160 was it, put his knee on George Floyd's neck and or head.
00:20:24.680 In other words, the Minnesota Police Training has an actual photo of how to do it,
00:20:32.080 and he's doing it exactly the way the George Floyd thing went down.
00:20:36.620 And so I tell you again, there's just no way they're going to get convicted or murder
00:20:41.340 with the fentanyl in George Floyd and the fact that they asked him if he, I mean, consider this.
00:20:49.920 They asked him two or three times if he was on anything.
00:20:52.740 And he said no each time.
00:20:55.900 If he had said yes any one of those times, they would have been alerted to treat him as
00:21:02.020 more of a medical problem and less as a resisting arrest.
00:21:06.380 So maybe George Floyd could have said, yes, I have something in me, and that might be a factor.
00:21:14.880 So a lot of mistakes were made.
00:21:16.880 Cheryl Ackeson, you all know, a writer on political stuff, and she noticed some friend of hers was
00:21:28.640 automatically unfollowed from her account, and I saw her tweet on that, and I tweeted to ask other
00:21:34.300 people if they had had the same experience on her account.
00:21:37.220 What do you think we found?
00:21:38.420 Yes, of course, lots and lots of people thought they had been following her, but now they're
00:21:46.180 not, and they had to re-follow.
00:21:49.200 Now, what are we supposed to do with the fact that it's so blatantly obvious that the social
00:21:55.620 media algorithm, or at least who is following who, is clearly being manipulated?
00:22:01.400 If it couldn't be more obvious, it's public.
00:22:06.740 We can all check it ourselves.
00:22:08.740 You can have massive confirmation, because you've seen it on my account.
00:22:13.360 You've seen it on Richard Grinnell's account.
00:22:15.300 You've seen it on Matt Gaetz's account.
00:22:17.260 You've seen it on Cheryl Atkinson's account.
00:22:19.240 Now, I still don't know if it's happening to any liberals, but I haven't heard of any.
00:22:25.400 So, we certainly have election interference in the context of Twitter, but no action.
00:22:36.020 Shouldn't there be something happening, such as Twitter being regulated, or some kind of
00:22:42.880 investigation?
00:22:43.640 Why is the FBI not already in Twitter?
00:22:51.040 Like, I don't understand, and this is an honest question, I don't understand why, I don't understand
00:22:59.840 why literally Twitter hasn't been taken over by the FBI at this point.
00:23:04.460 They should actually be on the floor of Twitter trying to figure out why this is happening.
00:23:09.360 Is there some law that says that there's no reason that there's any law broken?
00:23:17.760 I don't know.
00:23:18.380 Given the context of election interference, I would think that the FBI would be all over
00:23:23.700 Twitter, but I don't understand what's going on there.
00:23:27.040 Speaking of I don't understand, that was the main line that Joe Biden used when he made the
00:23:33.900 mistake of taking questions in public.
00:23:35.660 He kept saying, I don't understand why this president, I just don't understand.
00:23:41.780 I, I, I'm confused.
00:23:43.420 I just don't understand.
00:23:45.260 And let me tell you, if you're being blamed, or at least accused of having some kind of mental
00:23:49.720 slowdown, you don't want to get in public and repeat the phrase, I don't understand over
00:23:55.760 and over again.
00:23:57.540 It's a really bad look.
00:23:59.440 It's bad enough when I do it, but most people are not accusing me of dementia.
00:24:03.780 All right.
00:24:06.800 So here's a, here's an awkward question.
00:24:08.760 How do you tell somebody that their strategy for success is completely wrong?
00:24:16.120 In other words, they've developed a strategy that guarantees failure, but they think it's
00:24:21.700 a strategy for success.
00:24:23.480 How do you tell them that it's all wrong?
00:24:27.460 What I'm talking about here is Black Lives Matter.
00:24:30.720 Let me, I made a list of all the things that they're doing wrong strategically that no one
00:24:36.600 would argue with.
00:24:37.840 Okay.
00:24:38.640 So this is specifically a list that I believe something close to a hundred percent of people
00:24:45.360 who understand management, leadership, success, and anybody who has any expertise and how
00:24:52.800 to get stuff done, I believe would agree with me that these are strategy mistakes.
00:24:58.580 All right.
00:24:59.220 Here's the list.
00:25:00.600 Selling past the close.
00:25:02.680 Have I ever talked about that?
00:25:04.540 It's when you've already closed the sale.
00:25:06.680 The buyer has agreed to buy.
00:25:08.920 You've agreed to sell.
00:25:10.260 Now all you have to do is take their money.
00:25:12.740 The biggest strategic mistake you could make if you're the seller is to keep talking because
00:25:18.680 anything you say at that point can't make you the sale because you already have the sale,
00:25:23.980 but it could lose you the sale.
00:25:25.660 And that's what happened with the George Floyd thing.
00:25:28.800 The moment the country saw the video of George Floyd, the sale had been made.
00:25:34.660 Oh my goodness.
00:25:35.920 We have to fix this.
00:25:37.320 Every white person, every black person, every Republican, every Democrat, complete sale.
00:25:44.180 Sale has been made.
00:25:46.220 What happened?
00:25:47.420 They kept selling.
00:25:49.000 They kept protesting until there was danger.
00:25:51.760 Cities were destroyed.
00:25:52.780 Now, wouldn't you say that the George Floyd initial reactions, which could have been one
00:25:59.780 of the best things that ever happened in this country, it was a gift in a sense, a tragedy,
00:26:05.780 of course, but it was a gift to the country, almost like George Floyd died for our sins kind
00:26:13.680 of thing.
00:26:13.960 There was almost a Jesus-like, I know, that's offensive, but just follow the analogy.
00:26:20.280 His death could have been, in sort of an analogous way, that Jesus' death could have been a positive.
00:26:30.400 In the Christian religion, it is.
00:26:33.300 His death, as tragic as it was, could have been a positive because we all were on the same side,
00:26:38.900 but it turned into a gigantic negative.
00:26:41.700 People are fleeing the cities.
00:26:43.220 It's the worst situation.
00:26:45.000 So that's the first mistake, selling past the close.
00:26:47.980 Here's the next one.
00:26:48.940 Putting the least capable people in charge.
00:26:52.280 What expert would say, let's scour the earth and find the least capable leaders and we'll put
00:26:58.920 them in charge?
00:27:00.140 I'm pretty sure that's what's happening with Black Lives Matter because of all the other
00:27:04.460 mistakes of leadership that I'll mention.
00:27:07.260 So clearly, the worst people are in charge.
00:27:10.080 Nobody would make that mistake if they knew how to do anything.
00:27:13.580 How about this?
00:27:14.980 Seeing the world as a zero-sum situation, meaning I can't win unless you lose, versus an abundance
00:27:22.380 situation, which is I'm glad you have yours.
00:27:26.540 Now I'll work on getting mine.
00:27:28.240 Hey, look, we can both have as much as we want if we all do the same.
00:27:31.740 If we all do the right stuff, we all get benefits.
00:27:34.980 I don't know that there's any successful anything that has ever started with the zero-sum, I
00:27:44.920 can't win unless you lose, motivation.
00:27:47.440 In the long run, that always fails.
00:27:49.880 Always.
00:27:50.720 And that's what you're seeing with Black Lives Matter.
00:27:53.280 Nothing about let's build something together.
00:27:55.800 It's all about how can you give me something.
00:27:58.720 Zero-sum.
00:27:59.460 How about canonizing your criminals?
00:28:04.120 How about the idea of making your heroes the people who are literally criminals?
00:28:11.180 Now, you can have, I think you can hold both thoughts simultaneously.
00:28:16.180 You can certainly hold the thought that somebody should not be shot by the police because of
00:28:21.840 some past criminal behavior, if it wasn't part of the actual incident.
00:28:26.140 We all agree with that.
00:28:27.380 There's no argument with that.
00:28:28.520 You don't get a shot today for something you did, you know, a year ago.
00:28:35.080 Nobody wants to live in that world.
00:28:38.680 But, is it a good strategy to hold up your criminals as your heroes?
00:28:46.380 No.
00:28:48.000 Martin Luther King was the example of doing it right.
00:28:51.740 Holding up as your hero somebody who had the right set of values.
00:28:55.760 That was a good idea.
00:28:56.780 Holding up the people who have been killed by police, they have records.
00:29:02.180 Very bad idea.
00:29:03.340 Nobody has ever made a good outcome out of making heroes out of the people who they should not.
00:29:10.280 Now, the weird thing about this is the whole controversy about, let's say, confederate statues.
00:29:17.140 The whole point of that is you don't want to hold up as role models people who have a sketchy past.
00:29:24.280 And there's nothing could be sketchier than being a past slave owner.
00:29:27.880 So, if you know the concept of getting rid of confederate statues because it sends a bad message as a role model,
00:29:36.680 why are we making role models out of slave owners?
00:29:39.460 That makes no sense.
00:29:41.080 But how about extending that to your own population?
00:29:44.820 How about bringing that forward into current times?
00:29:47.740 How about making heroes out of Thomas Sowell or anybody who's got a positive view of abundance or strategy?
00:29:56.580 So, you've got that problem.
00:30:00.380 How about always voting for the same political party?
00:30:05.020 Has anybody ever made that work?
00:30:08.240 Always voting for the same party reliably is guaranteed to take away your political power.
00:30:14.380 It's guaranteed.
00:30:16.020 And what are they doing this year?
00:30:17.280 They're trying even harder to make that strategy that never works, can't work, has never worked for anybody.
00:30:24.300 They're doubling down on a strategy they know can't work because it takes away their own power if you always vote for the same side.
00:30:32.520 How about the idea of never taking personal responsibility?
00:30:37.540 Yes, the police should be better trained, have more options.
00:30:41.600 We should look into every possibility for better police service to the community to keep us safer, etc.
00:30:49.720 Nobody argues with that.
00:30:51.360 It's 100% agreed that anything can be done better, especially that.
00:30:56.560 But, does that take away your responsibility to teach your kids how not to resist arrest?
00:31:03.200 If you can't even have the conversation about, you know, maybe we should resist arrest a little bit, you know, a little bit better.
00:31:13.520 If you can't even discuss it, you have a failing strategy.
00:31:18.460 Because nobody ever succeeded by saying all the problems were with somebody else.
00:31:24.020 It's just not a strategy that's ever worked for anybody ever in the long run.
00:31:28.980 How about this?
00:31:31.160 Not asking to do small tests.
00:31:34.400 Do you know what works almost every time?
00:31:37.680 Well, if you don't know exactly what to do to make something better, you say,
00:31:41.640 Hey, if we can't agree what to do, can we at least agree to test some things and see if those work?
00:31:48.480 If you're not suggesting, let's do some trials and some tests, you don't have a strategy that can work.
00:31:55.640 You don't.
00:31:56.220 You don't even pretend you're doing something useful if you're not talking about how to create a small test.
00:32:02.940 It's the only way you can improve if people don't automatically agree on what's the right thing to do.
00:32:09.160 How about this?
00:32:11.300 How about turning it into a racial problem instead of just figuring out how you can fix it?
00:32:16.220 How could it ever work to turn it into a hate problem instead of a what-do-you-do-about-it problem?
00:32:22.420 Because, again, they're selling past the close.
00:32:27.980 If you're talking about how it's racist or not racist, you're already in the wrong conversation.
00:32:33.340 Because all the people you're calling racist have already said,
00:32:37.000 I think we agree with you that we could do this better.
00:32:41.140 Why are you still talking?
00:32:43.100 You're just making it worse.
00:32:45.220 Bad strategy.
00:32:45.980 All right.
00:32:47.700 How about focusing on your smallest problem instead of your biggest problem?
00:32:52.480 Has anyone ever made that work?
00:32:55.420 Let's make a list of all our priorities, and we'll spend all of our time on the lowest one.
00:33:01.140 What's the lowest priority?
00:33:03.300 Police mistreatment of the minority community.
00:33:06.760 Is it real?
00:33:07.360 Well, it seems like it.
00:33:09.600 It seems like there's definitely a disproportionate thing.
00:33:13.780 Should it be worked on?
00:33:14.880 Absolutely.
00:33:16.080 Should we put a lot of attention on it?
00:33:19.840 Sure.
00:33:20.900 But should you ignore the biggest problem,
00:33:24.420 which is obviously the school system is not serving a lot of communities,
00:33:29.500 and therefore they get off to the wrong start?
00:33:32.140 And of course you'll have more crime.
00:33:33.800 If you have more crime, you have more police action.
00:33:37.120 Just everything falls apart from that one thing,
00:33:40.420 and that's, of course, caused by the teachers' unions
00:33:42.740 rejecting competition in the schools.
00:33:50.140 So nobody ever made working on your smallest problem successful.
00:33:54.680 How about this one?
00:33:56.380 Violence.
00:33:58.120 Whoever, you know, is there a long history of minor violence working?
00:34:03.800 There's a long history of major violence working.
00:34:07.320 The Civil War.
00:34:09.000 I mean, you could say that worked in a sense.
00:34:11.640 How about the American Revolution?
00:34:13.500 That was violence.
00:34:14.880 That worked.
00:34:16.220 But what case has violence worked in individual cases?
00:34:20.760 Like where I'll just shoot this guy or I'll kill this person.
00:34:24.600 When has that worked?
00:34:26.280 That just feels like the worst strategy in the world.
00:34:28.420 How about ignoring the concept of reciprocity?
00:34:34.500 It's like the white person superpower,
00:34:37.880 that people will do things for you for nothing,
00:34:40.980 and then maybe someday it'll come back.
00:34:43.540 It's very similar to the idea of abundance versus a zero-sum world,
00:34:49.620 but the idea of reciprocity works every time.
00:34:52.320 What are the Black Lives Matter people doing?
00:34:56.880 The opposite.
00:34:57.960 They're asking somebody else to give them stuff.
00:35:01.020 They have their arguments.
00:35:02.600 But that's the opposite of any strategy anybody's ever made work.
00:35:08.240 Reciprocity works.
00:35:09.220 I do something for you, and something will come back to me.
00:35:11.620 Forcing you to give me stuff with no end in sight,
00:35:15.840 because I can never get enough to be equal to you,
00:35:19.280 that's never worked.
00:35:21.060 I mean, it might have some temporary gain,
00:35:22.680 but in the long term, it's a terrible strategy.
00:35:25.580 How about developing systems that ignore human motivation,
00:35:33.080 such as socialism and Marxism?
00:35:35.440 They've never worked.
00:35:37.240 Not in their pure form.
00:35:38.700 You can have a little socialism on top of capitalism,
00:35:41.860 but they've never worked in their pure form anywhere,
00:35:45.680 because they ignore human motivation.
00:35:48.200 That's a bad strategy.
00:35:50.240 How about the fact that Black Lives Matter,
00:35:51.980 they have leaders, but they don't seem to be present?
00:35:55.700 In other words, I couldn't even give you the name
00:35:59.320 of the head of Black Lives Matter,
00:36:01.300 or there are three of them,
00:36:02.560 or were they just founders,
00:36:04.240 but now they're not running things?
00:36:06.180 Is it a local organization?
00:36:07.500 I don't even know.
00:36:08.700 So if you can't identify the leaders,
00:36:11.400 there's nobody to negotiate with,
00:36:13.900 there's nobody to negotiate for you,
00:36:16.260 there's nobody to get you what you want.
00:36:18.700 They don't have a structure
00:36:20.060 which would allow them to get anything,
00:36:23.620 because there's nobody to talk to,
00:36:25.580 and the demands are all over the place.
00:36:28.020 Until you have a leader who can solidify demands,
00:36:30.860 you don't have anything.
00:36:32.960 How about ignoring free markets and school choice?
00:36:37.020 How about believing the news?
00:36:39.720 That's a bad strategy.
00:36:41.240 A lot of the Black Lives Matter stuff comes from believing the news,
00:36:45.780 that there's some kind of epidemic of black people being hunted and shot by police.
00:36:51.480 If you believe the news,
00:36:53.180 then you believe that's a problem and you orient yourself to fixing that problem.
00:36:58.460 If you didn't believe the news,
00:37:00.440 in other words,
00:37:01.520 you understood that their business model causes them to make things look worse than they are,
00:37:08.260 because that gets them clicks.
00:37:09.880 If you understood that,
00:37:11.900 it would be a better strategy to look at the data, etc.
00:37:16.240 All right.
00:37:17.880 The obvious outcome of doing literally everything wrong is segregation.
00:37:24.580 And you've seen that,
00:37:25.760 but we're not calling it that yet.
00:37:27.160 When you see these news stories about all the rich people who are moving out of New York City,
00:37:33.760 what is your brain translating that into?
00:37:37.280 Maybe you have to be a certain age for this to happen.
00:37:40.940 This isn't exactly about rich people moving to where it's safe.
00:37:46.320 This is a lot about rich white people moving away from black people.
00:37:51.680 Can we be honest?
00:37:52.600 If you ask them privately,
00:37:56.580 hey, why are you getting out of New York City?
00:37:59.360 They'd probably give you,
00:38:01.200 let's say, politically correct sounding answers.
00:38:04.980 They'd say, well, there's too much crime and it's unsafe, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:38:09.720 But in their little prejudiced, racist minds,
00:38:14.900 these are people who were the most,
00:38:17.280 let's say, politically allied with the black world.
00:38:21.560 Four months ago.
00:38:23.500 So four months ago,
00:38:25.020 the very people who were probably packing up and leaving New York City
00:38:28.340 would be the greatest advocates for the black community.
00:38:32.820 They would be elite Democrats,
00:38:35.220 very reliably pro-black community,
00:38:38.780 as I am.
00:38:39.720 I would consider myself very pro-black
00:38:43.060 in the sense that if you can help the black community,
00:38:47.800 everybody's better off.
00:38:48.640 So I buy into that completely.
00:38:50.140 But now,
00:38:53.620 now that they're moving out of the city that they love,
00:38:56.600 I feel like you've converted them into racists.
00:39:00.720 And that privately,
00:39:01.940 they're thinking
00:39:02.460 that they're just getting away from black people.
00:39:06.700 Don't you think that that's probably true?
00:39:09.020 I'm not saying that's good or bad.
00:39:10.760 I'm not endorsing that.
00:39:12.560 I'm not saying they should think that.
00:39:14.240 Nothing like that.
00:39:14.900 I'm just saying,
00:39:16.360 predictably,
00:39:17.320 this is making everything worse.
00:39:21.260 Somebody says it's mind-reading.
00:39:23.760 It's not mind-reading if you present it as speculation.
00:39:27.040 If you present it as fact,
00:39:30.100 it's mind-reading.
00:39:31.020 If I said,
00:39:31.780 that's what they're thinking,
00:39:33.540 that would be mind-reading.
00:39:36.140 If I say,
00:39:37.300 what would you be thinking in that case?
00:39:39.440 Or,
00:39:39.960 what do you imagine people are thinking?
00:39:41.780 What's the likely thing
00:39:43.660 that some number of them are thinking?
00:39:45.680 Then that's just speculating.
00:39:48.820 Which is fair.
00:39:49.760 All right.
00:39:53.180 Peter Navarro
00:39:54.380 tweeted about a new hydroxychloroquine study
00:39:57.760 that's a retrospective,
00:39:59.800 meaning that it's not a gold standard study,
00:40:02.220 but rather they looked at the experience
00:40:04.200 of whether people got better or not.
00:40:07.340 And it showed that with these older patients,
00:40:10.940 the ones who are most at risk,
00:40:12.780 there was another retrospective study
00:40:15.320 that found that the people
00:40:16.860 who got the hydroxychloroquine
00:40:18.360 and azithromycin did better,
00:40:21.040 had better outcomes.
00:40:22.760 So,
00:40:23.280 I tweeted,
00:40:24.520 why is it that 95%
00:40:26.820 of the retrospective tests,
00:40:28.820 which are admittedly
00:40:30.860 not as good as gold standard,
00:40:32.860 you know,
00:40:33.200 randomized controlled tests,
00:40:36.240 why is it that
00:40:37.020 even though they're not
00:40:37.940 great kinds of studies,
00:40:40.420 why is it that 95% of them
00:40:42.260 all lean in the same direction?
00:40:44.740 Is it because
00:40:45.780 there's the same analytical mistake
00:40:47.860 every time?
00:40:50.520 And,
00:40:50.940 Andres Backhaus,
00:40:53.020 who is my
00:40:53.540 go-to person for
00:40:56.120 understanding data
00:40:58.080 and how to analyze data,
00:41:00.240 so he's the most rational person
00:41:01.940 that I've seen yet
00:41:04.060 on Twitter in general
00:41:06.160 in terms of just picking out
00:41:08.120 what's logical and what isn't.
00:41:10.160 And he makes
00:41:10.760 this observation
00:41:12.640 that made me slap myself in the head
00:41:15.000 and go,
00:41:15.580 okay,
00:41:16.320 yeah,
00:41:16.540 that's a pretty good point,
00:41:17.680 and it goes like this.
00:41:20.220 If you don't have
00:41:21.300 a randomized controlled study,
00:41:23.420 then the doctors
00:41:24.460 are deciding
00:41:25.240 who gets hydroxychloroquine
00:41:26.740 and who doesn't.
00:41:28.340 Given that
00:41:29.180 there is a suggestion
00:41:30.460 that there could be
00:41:32.060 more of a side effect problem
00:41:33.900 if somebody is close to death,
00:41:37.220 who do you think
00:41:37.880 the doctors give
00:41:38.720 the hydroxychloroquine to?
00:41:42.240 Yeah,
00:41:42.960 they don't give it
00:41:44.060 to the people
00:41:44.540 who are the sickest
00:41:45.540 because the assumption
00:41:46.800 is that the side effects
00:41:48.300 might push them
00:41:49.160 over the edge.
00:41:49.780 So there's a very good reason
00:41:52.480 to believe
00:41:52.920 that the doctors
00:41:53.920 have self-selected
00:41:55.220 to give it to people
00:41:56.600 who have less of an illness
00:41:58.400 and are less at risk.
00:42:01.040 And therefore,
00:42:01.660 when you look at the results
00:42:02.680 at the end,
00:42:03.200 it's like,
00:42:03.560 oh,
00:42:04.060 all the people
00:42:04.820 who got hydroxychloroquine
00:42:06.200 on average,
00:42:07.500 they did better.
00:42:08.880 But it could be
00:42:09.500 just a selection bias
00:42:10.900 that the only people
00:42:12.060 who got it
00:42:12.580 in the first place
00:42:13.520 were people
00:42:14.520 who didn't look like
00:42:15.240 they were going to die
00:42:16.060 five minutes
00:42:16.680 after getting
00:42:17.380 hydroxychloroquine
00:42:19.260 if they had
00:42:20.160 some side effects,
00:42:21.420 which we don't imagine
00:42:23.680 the side effects are bad.
00:42:25.020 Now,
00:42:25.160 I don't think
00:42:25.640 that applies
00:42:26.800 to any early,
00:42:29.460 it might not apply
00:42:30.340 to,
00:42:31.160 you know,
00:42:31.820 getting it early
00:42:32.720 versus getting it
00:42:33.760 later in the disease,
00:42:35.040 but there still
00:42:35.980 could be a selection bias.
00:42:37.860 There still could.
00:42:39.100 So beware
00:42:40.140 of the selection bias.
00:42:42.800 I'm still going
00:42:43.660 to be at 30% odds
00:42:45.220 that hydroxychloroquine
00:42:46.300 in the end
00:42:47.720 we'll find out
00:42:48.820 was a good thing
00:42:49.660 and we didn't
00:42:50.220 use it as much.
00:42:52.000 All right,
00:42:52.240 here's a question.
00:42:53.660 Oh,
00:42:54.360 William Barr
00:42:55.360 is indicating
00:42:56.100 that we are certain,
00:42:58.180 meaning the government
00:42:58.880 is certain,
00:42:59.420 that outside agitators
00:43:00.700 are coming in
00:43:01.300 for these protests
00:43:02.140 to cause trouble.
00:43:03.980 We don't have
00:43:05.100 a lot of detail
00:43:05.700 on that,
00:43:06.420 but Bill Barr
00:43:07.100 says we have
00:43:08.540 plenty of evidence
00:43:09.720 that that's happening.
00:43:13.480 I have a question,
00:43:14.920 and I think
00:43:15.400 there were like
00:43:15.800 three new police
00:43:16.880 shooting stories
00:43:17.720 on CNN
00:43:18.460 just alone
00:43:19.680 this morning.
00:43:20.980 One of them
00:43:21.840 is there's something
00:43:22.580 called a spit bag.
00:43:24.320 If somebody's
00:43:25.040 spitting on you,
00:43:25.820 the police will put
00:43:26.500 a bag over your head.
00:43:28.060 They put a bag
00:43:28.800 over a guy's head
00:43:29.660 because he had
00:43:30.880 mental illness
00:43:31.580 or something.
00:43:32.060 He was spitting on him.
00:43:33.660 And then he died
00:43:34.380 like a week later,
00:43:35.480 and they're being blamed
00:43:36.660 for some asphyxiation
00:43:38.420 related complications
00:43:39.920 that lasted a week.
00:43:41.760 I don't know.
00:43:43.440 Maybe.
00:43:45.740 But here's what,
00:43:46.680 here's my take on this.
00:43:48.520 We have a zombie apocalypse
00:43:50.800 that we think
00:43:51.600 is a police problem.
00:43:53.380 The zombie apocalypse
00:43:54.400 is that people
00:43:55.240 who are on drugs
00:43:56.200 or have mental illness
00:43:57.580 don't know how
00:43:59.100 to not resist arrest.
00:44:01.200 They are not
00:44:02.080 in their right minds.
00:44:03.920 And if the police
00:44:04.920 are shooting people
00:44:05.880 who are on drugs
00:44:06.940 or have mental illness
00:44:09.380 and that those
00:44:10.540 are the ones
00:44:10.980 who are doing
00:44:11.360 the most resisting arrest,
00:44:13.460 that's a problem
00:44:14.560 that needs to be solved.
00:44:15.860 And we definitely need
00:44:16.660 some more non-lethal
00:44:18.500 means of doing that.
00:44:20.060 Somebody sent me
00:44:20.920 on Twitter
00:44:22.180 a video
00:44:22.740 of this Bolo rope.
00:44:25.540 I guess they shoot it
00:44:26.560 out of some kind
00:44:27.160 of special gun
00:44:27.920 and it just wraps
00:44:28.880 around your legs
00:44:29.720 almost instantly.
00:44:31.540 And I thought to myself,
00:44:33.420 okay,
00:44:33.820 the Bolo gun
00:44:34.780 that sort of,
00:44:36.500 you know,
00:44:37.220 captures somebody
00:44:38.320 by the legs,
00:44:38.980 that's good.
00:44:40.540 But in a lot
00:44:41.320 of these cases,
00:44:42.020 I don't think
00:44:42.840 they would have
00:44:43.260 had a chance
00:44:43.800 to use it
00:44:44.380 because it seems like,
00:44:45.680 you know,
00:44:45.940 people grab a gun
00:44:47.940 that you didn't know
00:44:48.560 they had
00:44:49.100 or they reach
00:44:49.640 in their pocket
00:44:50.220 or there's,
00:44:51.700 it seems like
00:44:52.360 I'm not sure
00:44:52.740 the timing would be right
00:44:54.000 to use that Bolo rope
00:44:56.040 and I can't imagine
00:44:57.240 that you would use it
00:44:58.640 if somebody's running
00:44:59.380 toward you
00:44:59.880 with a weapon.
00:45:01.160 You're not going
00:45:01.940 to want to try
00:45:02.480 the Bolo rope first.
00:45:04.420 You're probably
00:45:05.100 going to want to shoot.
00:45:06.840 So treating it
00:45:08.100 like it's a crime
00:45:08.940 problem entirely
00:45:09.840 is probably a problem.
00:45:11.120 It's more
00:45:12.020 of a zombie apocalypse.
00:45:17.020 Let's see,
00:45:17.820 a new study
00:45:18.400 out of Australia
00:45:19.160 suggests that
00:45:20.380 venom from honeybees
00:45:21.960 and bumblebees
00:45:23.520 can totally kill
00:45:25.440 breast cancer
00:45:26.300 without injuring
00:45:27.700 the cells around them.
00:45:30.700 Now,
00:45:31.340 this is like
00:45:32.000 a billion other studies
00:45:33.300 that I've seen
00:45:34.040 in the past
00:45:34.760 that don't
00:45:35.760 end up
00:45:36.160 working out,
00:45:37.300 but it's always
00:45:37.960 good to hear
00:45:38.360 these things.
00:45:40.520 It seems painful
00:45:41.640 to have all
00:45:43.140 those bees
00:45:43.740 stinging you
00:45:44.600 in your breasts,
00:45:46.680 but maybe they
00:45:47.680 have some other
00:45:48.120 way of administering
00:45:49.100 it.
00:45:49.600 Just joking,
00:45:50.600 of course they do.
00:45:52.820 Sarah Sanders
00:45:53.660 has a new book out
00:45:54.540 and one of the
00:45:55.840 anecdotes is funny.
00:45:56.980 Apparently,
00:45:57.560 Kim Jong-un
00:45:58.300 winked at her
00:46:00.060 when they
00:46:01.440 visited with him
00:46:02.880 and Trump
00:46:04.680 later joked
00:46:05.420 to Sarah Sanders
00:46:06.680 that she might
00:46:07.580 have to leave
00:46:08.100 her family
00:46:08.940 and go live
00:46:10.060 with Kim Jong-un
00:46:10.860 to, quote,
00:46:11.800 take one for the team,
00:46:13.620 which is pretty funny.
00:46:21.440 Governor Andrew Cuomo,
00:46:23.960 who I was surprised
00:46:25.020 to find out
00:46:25.640 is younger than me,
00:46:27.160 I feel like he looks
00:46:28.440 older,
00:46:28.880 but I think
00:46:29.320 that's just because
00:46:29.980 I think I fooled
00:46:31.760 myself into thinking
00:46:32.700 I look younger.
00:46:35.480 But after
00:46:36.380 President Trump
00:46:37.400 was noodling
00:46:38.820 on the idea
00:46:39.400 of withholding
00:46:40.620 federal funds
00:46:41.580 from cities
00:46:43.220 that are just
00:46:44.380 not taking care
00:46:46.340 of the chaos,
00:46:49.160 Cuomo didn't
00:46:49.760 like that
00:46:50.300 and he said
00:46:51.220 that,
00:46:52.620 quote,
00:46:53.540 talking about Trump,
00:46:54.620 he can't have
00:46:55.220 enough bodyguards
00:46:56.120 to walk through
00:46:56.780 New York City,
00:46:57.700 Cuomo said.
00:46:58.720 Forget bodyguards,
00:46:59.960 he better have
00:47:00.520 an army if he thinks
00:47:01.700 he's going to walk
00:47:02.520 down the streets
00:47:03.280 in New York.
00:47:04.480 Now he went on
00:47:05.540 to explain
00:47:06.320 that he meant
00:47:06.920 the president
00:47:08.380 is unwelcome
00:47:09.340 in New York.
00:47:10.500 But is that
00:47:11.560 the way you say
00:47:12.480 somebody's unwelcome?
00:47:14.160 You literally
00:47:15.140 talk about
00:47:15.800 killing him?
00:47:16.420 I've never seen
00:47:18.840 Democrats go
00:47:19.940 completely
00:47:20.580 so obviously
00:47:22.060 into
00:47:22.620 let's murder
00:47:23.920 the president.
00:47:25.360 It's the most
00:47:26.360 irresponsible thing
00:47:27.440 I've ever seen
00:47:28.060 from a governor
00:47:28.760 and I would think
00:47:29.960 you should be
00:47:30.440 removed from office
00:47:31.500 in an impeachment,
00:47:34.580 Governor Cuomo
00:47:35.360 should,
00:47:35.960 just for saying
00:47:36.700 that.
00:47:37.560 That is so bad
00:47:38.980 and the impact
00:47:41.240 it has on people
00:47:42.020 who will literally
00:47:42.840 now think,
00:47:43.420 oh, I guess
00:47:44.800 we can attack
00:47:46.000 Trump supporters.
00:47:48.240 So Andrew Cuomo,
00:47:49.880 I haven't warned
00:47:51.420 you all about swearing
00:47:52.680 so I'll hold back
00:47:53.960 for now,
00:47:55.920 but Andrew Cuomo,
00:47:57.180 you just made
00:47:57.820 my life
00:47:58.960 more dangerous.
00:48:00.840 You made the chance
00:48:02.000 of me getting attacked
00:48:03.380 a little bit higher.
00:48:05.080 That's what the governor
00:48:05.840 of New York
00:48:06.600 just did.
00:48:07.760 Now, I get that
00:48:08.660 he doesn't like
00:48:09.460 what Trump is doing,
00:48:11.000 but he did just
00:48:13.120 make violence
00:48:14.260 more acceptable
00:48:15.300 and I don't know
00:48:16.820 what would be
00:48:17.540 more impeachable
00:48:18.580 than that,
00:48:19.420 if that's not
00:48:20.040 the most impeachable
00:48:20.960 thing in the world
00:48:21.540 I don't know what is.
00:48:25.160 All right.
00:48:29.340 So,
00:48:30.940 apparently the Russians,
00:48:35.160 we have some
00:48:35.660 information
00:48:36.240 that the Russians
00:48:38.040 are trying to spread
00:48:39.340 misinformation
00:48:40.180 about Joe Biden's
00:48:41.560 health.
00:48:43.020 Now,
00:48:44.100 and apparently
00:48:45.400 CNN is using this,
00:48:47.820 the fact that
00:48:48.720 the Department
00:48:49.900 of Homeland Security,
00:48:51.700 they quote,
00:48:52.540 withheld an
00:48:53.260 intelligence
00:48:53.940 bulletin
00:48:54.940 warning of a
00:48:57.140 Russian plot
00:48:57.880 to spread
00:48:58.440 misinformation
00:48:59.040 about Joe Biden's
00:49:00.400 health,
00:49:01.140 which they note
00:49:02.540 mirrors the
00:49:03.380 president's own
00:49:04.220 attacks.
00:49:05.300 Now,
00:49:05.700 let me ask you
00:49:06.380 this.
00:49:06.640 CNN has said
00:49:09.040 some dumb
00:49:09.480 things before,
00:49:10.980 but if you're
00:49:13.600 alive and you're
00:49:14.620 in the United
00:49:15.180 States and you're
00:49:16.240 following politics,
00:49:17.480 or even if you're
00:49:18.320 not,
00:49:19.280 were you unaware
00:49:20.640 that President
00:49:22.380 Trump and all
00:49:23.600 Republicans are
00:49:25.780 saying that Joe
00:49:26.480 Biden has some
00:49:27.720 kind of mental
00:49:28.360 decline?
00:49:29.580 Did you need to
00:49:30.820 wait and hear
00:49:31.680 that from Putin?
00:49:32.860 is there anybody
00:49:35.000 in the United
00:49:35.600 States who
00:49:37.000 has somehow
00:49:37.540 missed an
00:49:38.580 avalanche of
00:49:39.660 nonstop news
00:49:40.900 about Joe
00:49:41.640 Biden's mental
00:49:42.460 capacity?
00:49:43.580 They've missed
00:49:44.140 all of that,
00:49:45.700 you know,
00:49:46.060 wall-to-wall
00:49:46.580 coverage of it,
00:49:47.460 it seems like,
00:49:48.120 every day,
00:49:48.880 but they did
00:49:50.560 see something
00:49:51.320 that the
00:49:51.780 Russians did
00:49:52.500 that suggested
00:49:53.260 the same
00:49:53.800 thing.
00:49:54.840 And it was
00:49:55.320 that Russian
00:49:55.980 suggestion that
00:49:57.780 flipped them.
00:49:58.920 It's like,
00:49:59.260 oh,
00:50:00.060 oh,
00:50:00.480 I hadn't
00:50:01.480 noticed that,
00:50:02.060 but I saw
00:50:03.040 this meme
00:50:03.780 on Facebook
00:50:04.500 that looks like
00:50:05.740 it was made
00:50:06.260 by a sixth
00:50:06.900 grader in
00:50:08.040 Russia.
00:50:09.000 Oh,
00:50:09.280 now I'm
00:50:09.640 convinced.
00:50:10.740 Now I think
00:50:11.300 Joe Biden
00:50:11.760 has a mental
00:50:12.240 problem.
00:50:13.320 I don't think
00:50:14.560 this is quite
00:50:15.360 the problem
00:50:15.960 that CNN
00:50:16.480 thinks it
00:50:17.160 is.
00:50:20.340 Barr said
00:50:21.320 when he was
00:50:21.640 talking to
00:50:22.000 Wolf Blitzer
00:50:22.620 in an interview,
00:50:24.180 he said,
00:50:24.660 quote,
00:50:24.900 this is playing
00:50:25.540 with fire.
00:50:26.140 He was talking
00:50:26.460 about mail-in
00:50:27.120 ballots and how
00:50:28.360 they're not
00:50:29.040 dependable.
00:50:29.640 He said,
00:50:30.600 we're a very
00:50:31.060 closely divided
00:50:31.840 country here,
00:50:33.080 and so it's
00:50:33.880 playing with
00:50:34.360 fire.
00:50:35.880 And he said
00:50:37.020 it's just
00:50:37.400 logical that
00:50:38.660 votes could
00:50:39.960 be faked.
00:50:41.220 Now here's
00:50:41.860 the really
00:50:42.900 fun part.
00:50:44.400 The president
00:50:45.040 apparently in
00:50:46.040 his speech,
00:50:46.680 I guess in
00:50:47.100 Pennsylvania,
00:50:48.660 where the
00:50:49.460 polls, by the
00:50:50.520 way, are
00:50:50.800 showing it's
00:50:51.220 pretty tight,
00:50:52.500 the president
00:50:53.340 suggested that
00:50:55.020 if everybody
00:50:55.780 is so sure,
00:50:56.740 there's
00:50:59.520 nobody else
00:51:00.100 in the world
00:51:00.720 who would
00:51:01.080 have done
00:51:01.400 this,
00:51:02.320 because it's
00:51:03.420 either brilliant
00:51:04.100 or reckless,
00:51:05.000 and even I
00:51:05.440 can't decide
00:51:06.000 which one it
00:51:06.560 is.
00:51:07.440 So President
00:51:08.100 Trump has
00:51:08.680 suggested that
00:51:10.180 if everybody
00:51:10.800 is so sure
00:51:11.760 that mail-in
00:51:13.060 votes are
00:51:13.680 secure,
00:51:14.880 that why
00:51:15.280 don't you
00:51:15.580 try to vote
00:51:16.060 twice and
00:51:16.640 see what
00:51:16.940 happens?
00:51:19.200 Try to
00:51:19.900 vote once
00:51:20.420 in person
00:51:21.000 and once
00:51:22.080 with the
00:51:22.440 mail-in
00:51:22.880 and see if
00:51:23.980 in fact the
00:51:24.880 system flags
00:51:25.920 it and
00:51:27.000 gives you
00:51:27.480 only one
00:51:27.960 vote.
00:51:29.180 Now, that's
00:51:30.460 either brilliant
00:51:31.460 or is
00:51:33.420 really, really
00:51:34.440 reckless.
00:51:36.100 It's one of
00:51:36.680 those two
00:51:37.100 things, maybe
00:51:37.880 it's both,
00:51:38.620 I don't know,
00:51:40.000 but when you
00:51:41.760 hear that and
00:51:42.680 you hear the
00:51:43.260 president say,
00:51:44.180 well, just try
00:51:45.060 it.
00:51:45.360 Do you think
00:51:45.760 that the
00:51:46.120 government
00:51:46.540 records in
00:51:47.380 every state
00:51:48.100 are good
00:51:49.100 enough that
00:51:50.260 they will be
00:51:50.700 able to
00:51:51.040 determine in
00:51:51.980 a timely
00:51:52.540 fashion that
00:51:53.860 you voted
00:51:54.360 twice?
00:51:54.820 Now, what
00:51:56.100 makes this
00:51:56.580 reckless is
00:51:57.300 that it's
00:51:57.700 a federal
00:51:58.180 offense.
00:51:59.980 Right?
00:52:00.600 But I
00:52:01.420 can't imagine
00:52:01.980 you would
00:52:02.360 be necessarily
00:52:03.540 convicted,
00:52:05.580 you know,
00:52:06.540 if your
00:52:07.520 grandmother
00:52:08.040 votes twice
00:52:09.060 and the
00:52:10.480 system allows
00:52:11.260 it, when
00:52:12.460 we had been
00:52:12.960 told that the
00:52:13.660 system wouldn't
00:52:14.820 allow it.
00:52:15.820 See, here's
00:52:16.300 the cool
00:52:16.640 part that
00:52:17.820 makes this
00:52:18.320 maybe genius.
00:52:20.000 Could you
00:52:20.460 be convicted
00:52:21.220 of voting
00:52:22.660 twice, once
00:52:23.780 at a voting
00:52:25.420 booth, but
00:52:26.480 also once
00:52:27.260 separately you
00:52:28.080 dropped your
00:52:28.580 ballot in the
00:52:29.180 mail, if you
00:52:31.380 had been told
00:52:32.140 that there's
00:52:33.380 no scenario
00:52:34.120 in which your
00:52:34.980 vote would be
00:52:35.600 counted twice?
00:52:37.180 Did you hear
00:52:37.960 that?
00:52:38.700 You have been
00:52:39.640 told nonstop
00:52:40.980 by your
00:52:41.800 respected media
00:52:42.760 that there's
00:52:44.420 no chance
00:52:45.220 that voting
00:52:46.540 twice would
00:52:47.240 work.
00:52:47.680 So what
00:52:48.840 if you
00:52:49.120 tried it?
00:52:49.880 The president
00:52:50.460 suggests.
00:52:51.540 What if you
00:52:52.020 tried it?
00:52:53.040 Could you
00:52:53.660 go to jail
00:52:54.480 for a
00:52:56.680 crime that
00:52:58.100 you've been
00:52:58.580 told by your
00:52:59.260 own government
00:52:59.940 and the
00:53:00.520 entire media
00:53:01.360 can't happen?
00:53:03.220 In other
00:53:03.580 words, you
00:53:04.400 would have a
00:53:05.040 complete
00:53:05.380 expectation that
00:53:07.140 you did not
00:53:08.120 vote twice.
00:53:09.760 Even if you
00:53:10.560 went through the
00:53:11.020 steps of voting
00:53:11.660 twice, you
00:53:12.800 would have the
00:53:13.340 expectation,
00:53:14.380 reasonable,
00:53:15.580 completely
00:53:16.080 reasonable,
00:53:16.580 you've been
00:53:17.480 told by CNN
00:53:18.240 and others
00:53:18.840 that they
00:53:19.680 got this
00:53:20.120 locked down,
00:53:21.060 there's no
00:53:21.740 way that
00:53:22.140 fraud happens,
00:53:23.840 it's all
00:53:24.740 good.
00:53:27.340 You would
00:53:28.060 be able to
00:53:29.240 say, it
00:53:30.100 is my
00:53:30.520 belief that
00:53:31.640 I've only
00:53:32.080 voted once
00:53:32.880 because every
00:53:34.200 expert told
00:53:34.920 me that
00:53:35.900 only one of
00:53:36.560 them would
00:53:36.860 count.
00:53:37.900 I just
00:53:38.340 wanted to
00:53:38.780 make sure
00:53:39.300 that my
00:53:40.280 vote didn't
00:53:40.780 get lost
00:53:41.240 in the
00:53:41.540 mail, so
00:53:42.840 I voted
00:53:43.240 in person,
00:53:44.000 I also
00:53:44.500 voted by
00:53:45.020 the mail,
00:53:45.400 just to
00:53:46.460 make sure
00:53:46.780 one of
00:53:47.160 them got
00:53:47.480 through.
00:53:48.120 Obviously
00:53:48.500 your database
00:53:49.340 will immediately
00:53:51.000 detect it,
00:53:52.660 toss one
00:53:53.140 out, no
00:53:54.660 harm, right?
00:53:56.080 It's going
00:53:56.900 to be a
00:53:57.300 messy situation.
00:54:00.780 All right,
00:54:01.460 so it
00:54:03.420 might be
00:54:03.880 terrible that
00:54:04.560 the president
00:54:05.040 said that,
00:54:05.780 but on the
00:54:06.160 other hand,
00:54:07.080 once he did
00:54:07.800 say it,
00:54:08.360 you could
00:54:08.960 really see the
00:54:09.860 problem in a
00:54:10.640 way you
00:54:10.940 couldn't see
00:54:11.460 before.
00:54:11.880 I would
00:54:12.860 say that
00:54:13.300 that provocative
00:54:14.440 way of
00:54:15.040 putting it
00:54:15.560 really solidifies
00:54:17.800 in your head
00:54:18.380 that you've
00:54:18.740 been lied
00:54:19.160 to, because
00:54:20.320 there's nobody
00:54:21.000 in the world
00:54:21.720 who is dumb
00:54:22.680 enough to
00:54:23.620 think that all
00:54:24.260 the states
00:54:24.760 have good
00:54:25.200 records and
00:54:26.420 that the
00:54:26.820 timing would
00:54:27.520 work, that
00:54:28.520 they could
00:54:28.800 line up your
00:54:29.520 mail vote
00:54:30.260 with your
00:54:30.680 in-person
00:54:31.100 vote.
00:54:31.820 There's nobody
00:54:32.720 who thinks
00:54:33.140 your government
00:54:33.700 is that
00:54:34.140 efficient.
00:54:35.320 And when
00:54:35.540 the president
00:54:35.920 puts that
00:54:36.360 out there,
00:54:36.780 it's really
00:54:37.240 hard to argue
00:54:37.900 that this is
00:54:38.520 going to be
00:54:38.840 a credible
00:54:39.940 outcome.
00:54:41.020 The father
00:54:47.660 of Jacob
00:54:48.360 Blake, the
00:54:49.440 person who
00:54:50.940 was killed
00:54:51.560 with seven
00:54:52.100 bullets in
00:54:52.900 the police
00:54:53.380 stop that
00:54:54.780 caused a lot
00:54:55.240 of the riots,
00:54:56.480 apparently he
00:54:57.420 is anti-Semitic.
00:55:00.600 Now, here's
00:55:02.140 my take on
00:55:02.800 that.
00:55:03.640 I'm not
00:55:04.600 Jewish, so
00:55:06.300 I'm going to
00:55:06.640 rely on people
00:55:07.620 who are to
00:55:09.420 tell me whether
00:55:10.120 this guy is
00:55:11.900 being anti-Semitic
00:55:13.080 because I
00:55:14.100 have a rule
00:55:14.780 that I don't
00:55:15.500 get offended
00:55:16.080 on behalf of
00:55:17.000 other people.
00:55:18.780 I might get
00:55:19.800 offended on
00:55:20.460 behalf of
00:55:21.020 myself.
00:55:22.340 I don't know
00:55:22.780 if it's ever
00:55:23.180 happened.
00:55:23.940 I don't really
00:55:24.740 get offended
00:55:25.260 by much, but
00:55:26.820 I'm not going
00:55:27.260 to get offended
00:55:27.800 on behalf of
00:55:29.400 other people.
00:55:30.540 They have to
00:55:31.180 tell me they're
00:55:31.820 offended and
00:55:32.480 then I'll deal
00:55:33.220 with that, but
00:55:34.580 I can't judge
00:55:35.720 it myself.
00:55:36.260 credible people
00:55:39.160 have said
00:55:39.680 they've looked
00:55:40.120 at Jacob
00:55:41.920 Blake Sr.'s
00:55:43.140 social media
00:55:44.140 stuff, and
00:55:45.000 it's important
00:55:45.460 because there's
00:55:46.100 some thought
00:55:46.800 that Joe Biden
00:55:48.060 will go meet
00:55:48.740 with him.
00:55:49.880 He said some
00:55:50.920 things about
00:55:51.620 Jews that if
00:55:54.140 you looked at
00:55:54.720 it, you would
00:55:55.100 say to
00:55:55.400 yourself,
00:55:56.440 okay, I can
00:55:57.240 see why people
00:55:57.920 are uncomfortable
00:55:58.560 with this, but
00:55:59.460 again, I'm
00:56:00.680 going to let
00:56:01.020 other people
00:56:01.580 decide what's
00:56:02.740 wrong and
00:56:03.180 what's offensive
00:56:03.720 in that
00:56:04.060 mode, but
00:56:05.120 certainly you
00:56:06.280 can look at
00:56:06.780 it and say,
00:56:07.240 okay, I see
00:56:07.740 what they're
00:56:07.980 talking about.
00:56:10.520 However, I
00:56:14.200 happened to
00:56:14.700 read through
00:56:15.220 Jacob Blake
00:56:16.140 Sr.'s posts
00:56:17.440 and comments,
00:56:18.680 and one of
00:56:19.340 them really
00:56:19.780 stuck out.
00:56:21.520 And, you
00:56:23.280 know, if you
00:56:23.720 could pick out
00:56:24.240 the one good
00:56:24.980 thing that's
00:56:26.080 coming out of
00:56:26.680 all this
00:56:27.200 badness, I
00:56:28.080 mean, there's
00:56:28.300 a lot of
00:56:28.660 badness coming
00:56:29.320 out of all
00:56:29.740 this protest
00:56:30.580 situation, but
00:56:32.280 at the same
00:56:32.840 time, I
00:56:33.940 feel like I've
00:56:34.760 learned things
00:56:35.680 that would
00:56:37.100 make me feel
00:56:38.220 a little more
00:56:38.740 empathetic or
00:56:39.680 more understanding.
00:56:41.580 And, oddly
00:56:42.800 enough, Jacob
00:56:44.080 Blake Sr.,
00:56:45.320 whatever his
00:56:46.620 other flaws
00:56:47.380 might be,
00:56:48.760 laid down a
00:56:49.900 little red
00:56:50.380 pill on me
00:56:51.060 that I'd
00:56:51.980 never heard
00:56:52.440 before.
00:56:54.140 Well, I
00:56:54.860 take that
00:56:55.300 back.
00:56:55.640 I think I
00:56:56.000 sort of heard
00:56:56.860 it, but it
00:56:57.960 didn't really
00:56:58.300 register.
00:56:59.360 And it went
00:56:59.700 like this.
00:57:00.420 And this is
00:57:01.160 an anti-Semitic
00:57:03.120 context from
00:57:04.700 Jacob Blake
00:57:06.020 Sr., but he
00:57:07.400 points out that
00:57:08.120 everybody's aware
00:57:09.020 of the Holocaust.
00:57:13.800 You would
00:57:14.220 agree, right?
00:57:15.180 Everybody's aware
00:57:15.880 of the Holocaust,
00:57:16.640 and any
00:57:17.080 informed adult
00:57:18.180 would even
00:57:19.320 know the
00:57:19.740 number, six
00:57:21.480 million-ish
00:57:22.260 dead in the
00:57:23.840 Holocaust.
00:57:25.260 And then
00:57:25.660 Jacob Blake
00:57:26.580 Sr. asks,
00:57:27.800 but why don't
00:57:28.300 you know about
00:57:28.940 King Leopold
00:57:30.080 of the
00:57:31.480 Belgian king
00:57:32.260 and the
00:57:33.380 Congo?
00:57:34.680 And when I
00:57:36.080 read that, I
00:57:36.600 said, who?
00:57:39.500 Who is he
00:57:40.260 talking about?
00:57:41.300 Who's this
00:57:41.840 King Leopold,
00:57:43.740 Belgian king?
00:57:45.460 Why do I care
00:57:46.240 about him?
00:57:47.300 And what did he
00:57:47.900 do in the
00:57:48.360 Congo?
00:57:49.460 So I checked
00:57:50.300 it out, did a
00:57:51.400 little Google
00:57:51.860 search.
00:57:53.160 Did you know
00:57:54.020 that King
00:57:54.680 Leopold, the
00:57:56.160 Belgian king,
00:57:56.900 in the late
00:57:57.860 1800s, killed
00:57:59.760 10 to 15
00:58:00.980 million black
00:58:01.900 people?
00:58:03.340 10 to 15
00:58:04.660 million in
00:58:05.840 the Congo?
00:58:07.080 He basically
00:58:08.740 took over the
00:58:09.360 Congo, turned
00:58:10.880 everybody into
00:58:11.480 slave labor, and
00:58:13.380 between directly
00:58:14.320 killing people and
00:58:15.600 harsh conditions,
00:58:17.280 et cetera, 10
00:58:18.620 to 15 million
00:58:19.900 people died.
00:58:21.280 Now, did you
00:58:22.020 know that?
00:58:23.700 Did you know
00:58:24.300 that?
00:58:24.600 Now, the
00:58:26.460 way Jacob
00:58:27.200 Blake Sr.
00:58:28.000 puts it, he's
00:58:29.400 comparing it to
00:58:30.120 the Holocaust, and
00:58:31.660 then it becomes
00:58:32.240 anti-Semitic because
00:58:33.420 of the context.
00:58:35.020 But, does he
00:58:36.600 have a good
00:58:37.280 point, not to
00:58:39.000 diminish the
00:58:39.640 Holocaust, of
00:58:40.640 course, but
00:58:42.000 rather to say,
00:58:43.160 why didn't you
00:58:43.980 learn this in
00:58:44.600 school?
00:58:46.220 I mean,
00:58:46.600 seriously.
00:58:47.720 Somebody says,
00:58:48.600 shame on you,
00:58:49.240 Scott.
00:58:49.900 You could put
00:58:50.720 more of a
00:58:51.720 reason on that.
00:58:52.640 You get
00:58:54.060 blocked for
00:58:54.720 saying, shame
00:58:55.560 on you, Scott,
00:58:56.700 without a
00:58:57.260 reason.
00:58:58.160 If you
00:58:58.540 included any
00:58:59.620 reason, you
00:59:00.420 would not be
00:59:00.940 getting blocked,
00:59:01.920 even if I
00:59:02.420 disagreed with
00:59:03.080 the reason.
00:59:04.220 That's my
00:59:04.760 rule.
00:59:06.700 Somebody says,
00:59:07.520 no agenda had
00:59:08.260 it on a month
00:59:08.760 ago.
00:59:09.560 Yeah, and,
00:59:11.740 you know, if
00:59:12.520 there's one
00:59:12.940 thing you can
00:59:13.500 do in this
00:59:14.040 situation, you
00:59:15.060 should spend
00:59:15.580 at least a
00:59:16.720 hot minute
00:59:17.340 trying to put
00:59:19.100 yourself in the
00:59:19.980 head of your
00:59:21.360 fellow citizens
00:59:22.240 who are
00:59:23.360 greatly
00:59:23.800 distressed and
00:59:25.640 just try to
00:59:26.120 understand,
00:59:26.920 like, what
00:59:27.320 would it feel
00:59:27.840 like to
00:59:29.280 live in a
00:59:29.720 country that
00:59:30.420 had statues
00:59:31.160 of people who
00:59:32.320 were slave
00:59:32.840 owners?
00:59:33.640 Like, what
00:59:33.920 would that
00:59:34.240 feel like?
00:59:35.380 Would you
00:59:35.780 like it?
00:59:36.760 I wouldn't
00:59:37.460 like it.
00:59:38.300 So that's
00:59:38.720 why I agree
00:59:39.540 that the
00:59:40.200 Confederate
00:59:40.580 statues of
00:59:41.400 the ones who
00:59:42.560 supported
00:59:42.900 slavery anyway,
00:59:44.820 should at
00:59:45.360 least be put
00:59:46.260 in context,
00:59:47.000 if nothing
00:59:47.420 else.
00:59:47.760 And should
00:59:49.740 we not teach
00:59:50.940 more about
00:59:51.500 this King
00:59:52.080 Leopold so
00:59:52.880 that that's
00:59:53.320 not general
00:59:53.880 knowledge?
00:59:55.120 Because I
00:59:55.460 feel like that
00:59:56.080 is a little
00:59:57.760 bit, you
00:59:58.780 know, it
00:59:59.320 fits right
00:59:59.940 into the
01:00:00.440 do black
01:00:01.500 lives matter
01:00:02.260 if we're
01:00:03.560 not, if
01:00:04.620 that's not
01:00:05.040 common
01:00:05.380 knowledge that
01:00:06.340 King Leopold
01:00:07.120 killed 10
01:00:07.660 to 15
01:00:08.100 million black
01:00:08.660 people.
01:00:09.420 I feel like
01:00:10.200 that's something
01:00:10.680 we should
01:00:11.060 know about,
01:00:11.940 right?
01:00:12.960 If you're
01:00:13.360 being fair,
01:00:14.740 you should
01:00:15.340 know about
01:00:15.700 that.
01:00:15.920 So we
01:00:18.040 won't, we
01:00:18.480 will not, we
01:00:19.780 will not
01:00:20.340 excuse Jacob
01:00:22.440 Blake Sr. of
01:00:23.280 any other
01:00:23.740 opinions which
01:00:24.580 you may think
01:00:25.180 are offensive.
01:00:26.720 They do at
01:00:27.880 least feel
01:00:29.320 that way to
01:00:29.820 meet to my
01:00:30.420 uncritical eye.
01:00:32.080 All right.
01:00:33.360 CNN's Van
01:00:34.160 Jones is
01:00:34.700 urging Democrats
01:00:35.640 to only
01:00:36.880 protest during
01:00:37.780 the daytime
01:00:38.380 because the
01:00:39.340 nighttime stuff
01:00:40.180 is where all
01:00:40.680 the bad
01:00:40.980 stuff happens
01:00:41.560 and is just
01:00:42.620 going to help
01:00:43.780 Trump get
01:00:44.440 reelected.
01:00:45.040 he is
01:00:46.160 correct.
01:00:47.600 That is
01:00:48.020 exactly what's
01:00:48.700 going to
01:00:48.880 happen.
01:00:51.160 Are you
01:00:51.820 having trouble
01:00:52.420 figuring out
01:00:53.160 what any of
01:00:54.320 the political
01:00:55.120 polls mean?
01:00:58.080 It's really
01:00:58.760 hard to
01:01:00.160 figure out
01:01:00.720 if Trump
01:01:02.180 is ahead
01:01:03.420 or behind.
01:01:04.200 You can't
01:01:04.520 even really
01:01:04.900 tell because
01:01:05.880 the idea
01:01:06.760 of the,
01:01:07.240 I guess
01:01:08.000 Kellyanne
01:01:08.580 Conway called
01:01:09.220 them the
01:01:09.620 undercover,
01:01:10.820 what'd she
01:01:11.580 call them,
01:01:11.980 the undercover
01:01:12.680 Trump supporters?
01:01:14.220 because there's
01:01:15.180 a lot of
01:01:15.720 data that
01:01:16.200 says people
01:01:16.680 don't want
01:01:17.060 to give
01:01:18.080 their opinion
01:01:18.520 to anybody
01:01:19.020 including a
01:01:19.580 pollster.
01:01:20.920 So it
01:01:21.480 seems to
01:01:21.900 me that
01:01:22.420 Trump within
01:01:23.400 4% is a
01:01:25.220 Trump landslide.
01:01:26.860 It feels
01:01:27.640 like that.
01:01:28.280 Is that the
01:01:28.900 number?
01:01:29.620 What number
01:01:30.180 would you put
01:01:30.760 on it?
01:01:31.800 Trump within
01:01:32.620 2% is a
01:01:33.920 definite victory.
01:01:36.080 Trump within
01:01:36.760 4% of,
01:01:38.140 let's say,
01:01:38.440 the average of
01:01:39.100 the polls as
01:01:39.840 opposed to the
01:01:40.440 ones that tend
01:01:41.040 to be
01:01:41.340 accurate.
01:01:42.420 Rasmussen
01:01:42.860 tends to be
01:01:43.540 accurate and
01:01:44.780 a few others.
01:01:45.720 But if you
01:01:46.360 just took the
01:01:46.860 average and it
01:01:47.760 came out to
01:01:48.440 about 4%
01:01:49.420 advantage for
01:01:50.600 Biden, I
01:01:51.880 feel like he
01:01:52.480 loses with a
01:01:53.680 4% advantage
01:01:54.700 because of the
01:01:56.420 hidden vote
01:01:57.140 situation.
01:02:00.000 All right.
01:02:01.300 Yeah, Joe
01:02:01.840 Hyden.
01:02:02.880 Joe Hyden
01:02:03.720 Biden.
01:02:04.680 I think I
01:02:05.600 talked about
01:02:06.260 everything I
01:02:06.720 want to talk
01:02:07.080 about.
01:02:07.400 I think I
01:02:09.600 did.
01:02:11.080 Yeah, Stalin
01:02:11.700 and Mao
01:02:12.280 killed millions,
01:02:14.340 but they
01:02:15.040 killed mostly
01:02:16.020 people like
01:02:17.340 themselves,
01:02:18.260 which feels
01:02:19.020 different.
01:02:21.780 Somebody says
01:02:22.600 the betting
01:02:23.000 odds are now
01:02:23.660 in Trump's
01:02:24.140 favor.
01:02:24.580 Did it
01:02:24.860 cross over?
01:02:29.520 Oh, somebody
01:02:30.360 says how many
01:02:31.000 Armenians killed.
01:02:32.200 Good question.
01:02:33.680 Yeah, the
01:02:34.100 Armenian genocide
01:02:35.700 is so-called.
01:02:37.400 I don't know
01:02:38.740 that.
01:02:38.980 Actually, I
01:02:39.340 don't know
01:02:39.700 the alleged
01:02:41.660 death count
01:02:42.560 on that.
01:02:45.400 But yeah,
01:02:45.740 that's why
01:02:46.960 don't we know
01:02:47.400 about all
01:02:47.820 the Holocaust.
01:02:51.860 Somebody says
01:02:52.680 Proud Boys
01:02:53.320 are going to
01:02:53.920 Portland at
01:02:54.600 end of
01:02:55.060 September.
01:02:57.180 That's a
01:02:57.840 long ways
01:02:58.300 away, end
01:02:58.920 of September.
01:02:59.560 Do you
01:02:59.700 think we'll
01:03:00.040 still be doing
01:03:00.780 the protests?
01:03:02.280 Probably.
01:03:05.040 Somebody says
01:03:06.020 7%.
01:03:06.980 7% would
01:03:09.160 be tough.
01:03:13.500 Somebody says
01:03:14.480 why does
01:03:14.940 Van Jones
01:03:15.640 not support
01:03:16.720 Trump?
01:03:17.700 Well, you
01:03:19.420 can't ask
01:03:20.060 too many,
01:03:20.980 you can't ask
01:03:21.660 a lifelong
01:03:22.280 Democrat to
01:03:23.600 support a
01:03:24.100 Republican.
01:03:24.820 It's just
01:03:25.220 not realistic.
01:03:26.140 All right.
01:03:33.220 That's all I
01:03:33.880 got for now,
01:03:34.660 and I will
01:03:35.400 talk to you
01:03:36.280 a bit later.
01:03:37.740 I believe you
01:03:38.500 should all be
01:03:38.860 looking for an
01:03:39.580 Adam Townsend.
01:03:42.260 He's going to
01:03:42.880 be doing a
01:03:43.320 live stream with
01:03:44.620 Mark Schneider.
01:03:45.920 I think that's
01:03:46.480 today, so look
01:03:47.700 for that.
01:03:48.200 I'll tweet about
01:03:48.800 it if I get a
01:03:50.220 chance, and I
01:03:50.760 will talk to
01:03:51.260 you later.
01:03:52.300 I'll talk to you
01:03:53.300 later.
01:03:53.760 I'll talk to you
01:03:54.740 later.
01:03:54.760 I'll talk to you
01:03:55.440 later.
