Transcript

00:00:00.020 Hey everybody. Come on in and gather round.
00:00:15.240 It's going to be a good one. It's going to be lit.
00:00:17.980 It's going to be off the hook. It's going to be crazy.
00:00:21.540 Yes, that's how good it's going to be, just like always.
00:00:24.460 It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it features the simultaneous sip.
00:00:28.680 I know that's why you're here.
00:00:30.560 Those of you who are scurrying to get your cup and your mug ready,
00:00:34.520 fill it with your favorite beverage.
00:00:37.160 All you need really is a cup or a mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein,
00:00:40.840 a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:44.960 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:46.920 I like coffee.
00:00:48.540 And join me now for the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:52.340 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:55.440 It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens right now.
00:00:59.580 Go.
00:01:03.520 Ooh, one of the best.
00:01:06.920 Dare I say, the best.
00:01:10.320 Well, the simulation is not disappointing us today.
00:01:13.840 It's giving us news that's fun.
00:01:15.900 That's right.
00:01:17.040 It's not just news.
00:01:19.740 When I was a kid, when I would watch the news,
00:01:24.280 it would be all about death and war and people dying.
00:01:31.300 And somewhere along the lines, that changed.
00:01:35.320 Remember, they used to say, if it bleeds, it leads.
00:01:38.700 And now that's sort of changed to, if it misleads, it leads.
00:01:43.340 Because the news stopped being about violence for the most part.
00:01:47.460 I mean, if there's a big mass event, they're going to cover it, of course.
00:01:51.620 But for the most part, the news has turned from a whole bunch of violence
00:01:56.580 to a little bit of violence, but mostly just crazy political stuff
00:02:00.720 and hoaxes and stuff like that.
00:02:05.360 So here's my favorite news story of the day that shouldn't even be news.
00:02:10.320 This is in the category of things that you shouldn't even care about.
00:02:14.100 The New York Post ran this headline, and this is the exact wording of the headline.
00:02:22.260 Robert Kraft likely to get off in Florida massage parlor case.
00:02:29.280 Yeah, he's likely to get off.
00:02:33.060 I'm not even going to add anything to that.
00:02:35.760 That's it.
00:02:36.300 Do you know author Naomi Wolf?
00:02:42.420 Naomi Wolf was tweeting this morning that she was not happy with the fact
00:02:50.520 that the U.K. was going to have, they were considering a $50 fine
00:02:56.900 for not wearing a mask.
00:02:59.060 And she thought that was unreasonable because you should never have a situation
00:03:04.100 where you're penalized for what you wear or don't wear in this case, right?
00:03:11.700 Completely, it's completely over the line to have your government penalizing you,
00:03:17.760 financially penalizing you for what you wear.
00:03:20.920 That's ridiculous.
00:03:22.440 Or in this case, for what you don't wear.
00:03:24.380 I commented back, I feel the same way about pants.
00:03:31.180 Because I don't know if you've ever tried to go out in public without wearing pants.
00:03:36.880 But you'll get fined or arrested.
00:03:41.080 I'm not sure exactly what the penalty is.
00:03:43.260 But I'm pretty sure the current situation is you can't wear anything you want.
00:03:47.220 So, she removed that tweet within a few minutes of my comment.
00:03:55.020 I don't know if it was my comment, but if you said something as dumb as that in public,
00:03:59.960 that the government can't determine what you wear,
00:04:03.020 and then somebody says, yeah, I feel the same way about pants,
00:04:06.140 you're probably going to delete your tweet pretty quickly.
00:04:09.200 I don't know if it was because of my comment.
00:04:11.140 Probably other people said the same thing.
00:04:12.740 Now, I know this will seem weird to you,
00:04:17.760 but we've been hearing a lot about Justice Ginsburg's final request,
00:04:25.900 her final words before she passed.
00:04:30.000 And people said, you know,
00:04:33.860 usually you don't put a lot of credence in somebody's final words,
00:04:38.520 but because she was a Supreme Court justice,
00:04:40.720 maybe, in this case, we should ignore the Constitution of the United States
00:04:45.660 and focus on the importance of her last words.
00:04:50.240 And I thought to myself, well, maybe that's something we could extend a little bit.
00:04:54.480 I mean, that's such a good idea,
00:04:56.020 to ignore the Constitution and just look at somebody's deathbed words,
00:05:00.740 that I thought we should maybe do more of that.
00:05:03.200 Now, as luck would have it,
00:05:05.360 I went to my researchers,
00:05:07.660 and I have here the actual last words of Justice Scalia.
00:05:14.920 Now, I didn't get much attention,
00:05:17.080 because I don't know why,
00:05:19.020 it's just the way the news covers stuff,
00:05:20.540 but I do have Justice Scalia's final words.
00:05:25.260 I'll read them to you.
00:05:26.180 Oh, well, okay,
00:05:31.560 it's maybe not as newsworthy as I thought it would be.
00:05:35.340 It turns out it's an off-color joke.
00:05:38.720 Those were his final words.
00:05:40.080 Do you want to hear it?
00:05:41.480 It's a very off-color joke.
00:05:43.480 So put the kids,
00:05:45.120 put the kids wherever they are,
00:05:47.580 back to sleep,
00:05:48.340 or send them off to school or something.
00:05:51.340 Don't let any children hear this.
00:05:53.680 You ready?
00:05:54.280 You've been warned.
00:05:56.340 This is Justice Scalia's final words.
00:06:00.140 I said, let's see,
00:06:02.860 what did the leper say to the prostitute?
00:06:08.380 Keep the tip.
00:06:11.680 Okay, well, I'm glad he left that with us.
00:06:14.820 But let's take that into consideration
00:06:17.320 when we're making public policy.
00:06:20.300 The CIA came up with an assessment
00:06:23.500 and listen to this.
00:06:26.160 This is from the CIA.
00:06:28.320 And it's a good thing
00:06:29.680 we've got the CIA to protect us
00:06:31.580 because this is exactly
00:06:33.360 the kind of assessment
00:06:34.460 that keeps us safe.
00:06:37.500 If we didn't have a CIA,
00:06:40.400 how do we know this stuff?
00:06:43.780 Okay, so here's a new report
00:06:46.240 from the CIA, quote,
00:06:48.080 We assess that President Vladimir Putin
00:06:51.240 and the senior-most Russian officials
00:06:53.160 are aware of
00:06:54.640 and probably,
00:06:57.740 probably,
00:06:59.680 they don't know for sure,
00:07:00.900 but probably,
00:07:02.480 directing Russia's influence operation
00:07:04.880 aimed at denigrating
00:07:05.960 the former U.S. Vice President,
00:07:08.220 I guess that would be Biden,
00:07:09.780 supporting the U.S. President,
00:07:11.660 Trump,
00:07:12.460 and fueling public discord.
00:07:14.120 You know,
00:07:16.200 I came to that same conclusion
00:07:19.060 as the CIA,
00:07:21.020 except the method that I used
00:07:23.820 to come to that conclusion was
00:07:25.580 I sat in my house
00:07:27.600 and I thought about it.
00:07:29.460 Huh.
00:07:29.860 I wonder,
00:07:32.020 I wonder what Vladimir Putin
00:07:34.500 is doing and thinking right now.
00:07:37.300 Came to the same conclusion.
00:07:39.640 So,
00:07:40.440 you don't really need a CIA
00:07:42.300 if you could just
00:07:44.060 sit in your house
00:07:45.300 and think of stuff
00:07:46.140 because the CIA didn't say
00:07:48.220 it's definitely happening.
00:07:50.180 That would have been different
00:07:51.120 because I couldn't have done that.
00:07:53.500 Something I couldn't do
00:07:54.660 is tell you what Vladimir Putin
00:07:56.680 is definitely doing.
00:07:58.040 I don't have that kind of skill.
00:08:01.400 But,
00:08:01.740 as they worded it,
00:08:03.440 they say he's probably,
00:08:05.400 he's probably aware
00:08:06.800 of directing things.
00:08:08.520 That's something I could have done.
00:08:10.800 And,
00:08:11.200 in fact,
00:08:11.560 I did.
00:08:12.460 In my house,
00:08:13.800 with no help whatsoever,
00:08:15.440 I sat there and I thought,
00:08:17.540 I think he's probably
00:08:19.860 aware of it and,
00:08:21.940 I don't know,
00:08:23.100 probably directing it
00:08:24.540 a little bit,
00:08:25.340 maybe,
00:08:25.600 or if not him,
00:08:27.100 his senior people,
00:08:29.020 something like that.
00:08:30.420 So,
00:08:30.900 there you have it.
00:08:31.840 That's my valuable
00:08:32.720 intelligence offering.
00:08:36.500 I've been asking,
00:08:37.620 as you know,
00:08:38.960 somebody,
00:08:39.740 for somebody to explain
00:08:40.900 to me how it is
00:08:41.920 that President Trump
00:08:43.000 killed 200,000 people
00:08:45.140 with his,
00:08:45.960 his bad performance
00:08:47.480 on the coronavirus.
00:08:48.380 and I was looking
00:08:49.200 for a little bit
00:08:50.780 of specificity.
00:08:52.900 You know,
00:08:53.080 can you tell me,
00:08:54.560 tell me exactly
00:08:55.380 what he did
00:08:56.040 that killed people?
00:08:57.700 How,
00:08:58.340 how did that happen?
00:09:00.240 And,
00:09:00.840 some people,
00:09:02.420 helpfully,
00:09:03.540 chimed in.
00:09:05.060 In this case,
00:09:06.000 Pat East,
00:09:07.460 said,
00:09:08.420 and here's his list
00:09:09.560 of how the President
00:09:10.380 killed 200,000 people.
00:09:11.800 Number one,
00:09:12.840 he still doesn't
00:09:13.880 wear a mask.
00:09:15.520 That's right.
00:09:16.800 President Trump
00:09:17.500 doesn't wear a mask
00:09:18.600 and therefore,
00:09:21.060 logically,
00:09:23.080 200,000 people died.
00:09:25.760 Now,
00:09:26.420 you might say to yourself,
00:09:27.720 I'm not seeing
00:09:28.720 the connecting tissue here.
00:09:30.360 Are you telling me
00:09:31.160 that as a role model,
00:09:33.880 he encouraged people
00:09:34.880 to wear fewer masks?
00:09:36.920 And I guess that's
00:09:37.700 what the point is,
00:09:38.640 right?
00:09:39.440 But I ask you this,
00:09:41.560 at what point
00:09:42.980 did you tell,
00:09:43.980 tell yourself
00:09:44.900 that President Trump
00:09:46.700 was your role model?
00:09:48.840 Was there any point
00:09:50.400 that you said to yourself,
00:09:52.060 you know,
00:09:52.680 I've been watching
00:09:53.740 this guy for a while
00:09:54.740 and I feel like
00:09:56.120 I need to
00:09:56.880 model my life
00:09:58.620 more,
00:09:59.780 more similar
00:10:01.020 to President Trump
00:10:02.180 because I like him
00:10:03.420 as a president
00:10:04.080 and therefore,
00:10:06.000 logically,
00:10:06.840 I should sort of
00:10:07.640 copy him
00:10:08.740 in all things he does
00:10:10.500 personally
00:10:11.020 and professionally.
00:10:12.440 You all thought that,
00:10:13.660 right?
00:10:13.880 Come on,
00:10:15.140 you're Trump supporters.
00:10:17.700 Be honest.
00:10:19.180 You don't need
00:10:20.360 to lie to me.
00:10:21.580 You know
00:10:22.180 that you looked
00:10:22.780 at President Trump
00:10:23.680 and you said to yourself,
00:10:25.120 there's a bunch of stuff
00:10:26.380 I'm going to copy.
00:10:28.260 I like everything he does.
00:10:33.120 Now,
00:10:33.580 I know some of you
00:10:34.600 are going to lie
00:10:35.460 and you're going to say,
00:10:36.740 no,
00:10:37.040 I like him
00:10:37.600 because of his
00:10:38.340 lowering taxes
00:10:39.920 or something
00:10:41.560 about Supreme Court
00:10:42.920 picks
00:10:43.740 and stuff like that.
00:10:45.220 Crazy stuff.
00:10:46.560 But I know,
00:10:48.060 I know the real thing
00:10:49.220 you like about him
00:10:50.140 is that you'd like
00:10:51.580 to model your life
00:10:52.880 after all of his
00:10:54.380 personal choices
00:10:55.480 because they're so strong
00:10:57.320 and they're,
00:10:58.140 and they,
00:10:58.720 and they fit your life
00:10:59.720 so well.
00:11:01.060 So when you saw
00:11:01.840 the president
00:11:02.400 who had the benefit
00:11:04.480 of testing
00:11:05.700 each and every person
00:11:06.880 who came within
00:11:07.560 his contact,
00:11:08.920 testing them
00:11:09.480 for coronavirus,
00:11:10.660 you said to yourself,
00:11:12.180 you know,
00:11:12.760 that's just like
00:11:13.580 my situation.
00:11:14.380 I also test
00:11:17.140 everybody who comes
00:11:18.800 within 100 yards
00:11:19.820 of me
00:11:20.140 because I have
00:11:22.180 a full medical
00:11:23.240 department
00:11:24.660 in my house
00:11:25.660 just like the White House
00:11:26.980 and if anybody
00:11:28.860 gets close
00:11:29.600 I don't wear my mask
00:11:31.600 because I make sure
00:11:32.360 they all get tested
00:11:33.320 and I've got a result
00:11:34.900 before I get near them.
00:11:36.800 So that's just like you,
00:11:37.740 right?
00:11:38.920 Didn't,
00:11:39.280 didn't you decide
00:11:39.940 to not wear a mask
00:11:40.980 because the president
00:11:41.840 does and your life
00:11:43.420 is a lot like his.
00:11:45.560 Very similar
00:11:46.600 or it should be.
00:11:48.140 I mean,
00:11:48.520 really,
00:11:49.040 you should model
00:11:50.040 your life
00:11:50.540 after the president.
00:11:52.160 So that's what
00:11:53.140 Democrats think.
00:11:54.220 They think that
00:11:54.760 Republicans
00:11:55.300 looked at the president
00:11:56.600 and said,
00:11:58.100 you know,
00:11:59.460 that situation
00:12:00.540 applies to me.
00:12:02.080 In fact,
00:12:03.560 I don't,
00:12:05.000 I don't need
00:12:06.560 to carry firearms
00:12:07.560 or have them
00:12:08.820 in my house.
00:12:09.440 Do you know why?
00:12:10.500 Because my secret service
00:12:11.980 has that covered.
00:12:13.420 So one of the reasons
00:12:14.360 I decide
00:12:15.080 to have a gun
00:12:16.900 or not have a gun
00:12:17.840 in my house
00:12:18.680 for personal defense
00:12:20.440 is I look around
00:12:21.520 and say,
00:12:22.000 why would I need a gun?
00:12:24.240 I have my,
00:12:25.040 my entire fleet
00:12:26.680 of secret service people.
00:12:29.020 They have guns.
00:12:29.640 They'll protect me.
00:12:30.720 So I don't need one,
00:12:31.760 right?
00:12:32.060 Didn't you make
00:12:32.560 the same decision?
00:12:34.040 Come on.
00:12:34.980 Admit it.
00:12:36.940 A lot of you
00:12:37.840 had guns
00:12:38.640 and then you saw
00:12:39.960 that President Trump
00:12:40.960 doesn't carry,
00:12:42.220 I think,
00:12:42.780 I think this is true,
00:12:44.060 he doesn't carry
00:12:45.000 a gun with him
00:12:45.780 in the Oval Office
00:12:47.520 and you said,
00:12:48.680 well,
00:12:48.880 why?
00:12:49.860 Like,
00:12:50.180 I have a gun.
00:12:51.200 I thought it was
00:12:51.760 a good idea
00:12:52.220 for self-defense
00:12:52.920 but I noticed
00:12:54.020 that the president
00:12:54.740 doesn't.
00:12:56.000 He doesn't carry
00:12:56.820 a gun.
00:12:57.920 I don't think
00:12:58.340 he keeps one
00:12:58.940 in the Oval Office.
00:13:00.580 Why?
00:13:01.380 Well,
00:13:01.640 obviously his situation
00:13:02.760 is the same as yours.
00:13:04.480 He's got the
00:13:05.120 secret service
00:13:05.680 to protect him
00:13:06.340 just like you do.
00:13:07.860 Just like you do.
00:13:09.140 Yeah,
00:13:09.420 it's a fleet.
00:13:10.700 It's called
00:13:11.120 a fleet of secret service.
00:13:13.020 It's like a gaggle
00:13:14.420 or a murder of crows.
00:13:16.760 Come on,
00:13:17.160 keep up with me.
00:13:19.980 So that's what
00:13:20.760 Democrats think
00:13:21.540 that Republicans
00:13:22.240 do to make decisions.
00:13:24.660 Then also
00:13:25.380 that the early testing
00:13:26.480 was horrible
00:13:27.140 and obviously
00:13:28.500 the president
00:13:29.420 is personally
00:13:31.360 responsible
00:13:31.980 for the tests
00:13:33.060 being
00:13:33.440 inadequate.
00:13:35.700 So the first
00:13:36.940 tests that we had
00:13:38.020 they just didn't work.
00:13:39.860 They were technically
00:13:40.780 imperfect.
00:13:43.900 And you have to
00:13:45.060 think that's
00:13:46.280 the president's fault
00:13:47.220 because all of the
00:13:49.180 hours that he spends
00:13:50.280 in the lab
00:13:51.080 testing kits
00:13:52.760 and running
00:13:54.240 this test
00:13:55.360 against this other
00:13:56.180 he does a lot
00:13:57.300 of science
00:13:57.980 on the job.
00:14:00.360 And
00:14:00.560 I think
00:14:02.360 that's sort of
00:14:02.980 his fault.
00:14:04.400 Right?
00:14:04.920 I mean,
00:14:05.480 if President
00:14:06.240 Trump spent
00:14:06.880 all that time
00:14:07.700 doing direct
00:14:09.400 building of test
00:14:10.820 kits
00:14:11.120 and then making
00:14:11.940 sure that they
00:14:12.500 worked
00:14:12.860 and he didn't
00:14:13.820 build them right
00:14:14.580 I know a lot of you
00:14:16.160 are thinking
00:14:16.640 well,
00:14:17.360 wait a minute,
00:14:17.820 Scott,
00:14:18.100 I don't think
00:14:18.920 the president
00:14:19.460 does that
00:14:20.020 personally.
00:14:21.620 It feels to me
00:14:22.920 as if
00:14:23.380 it wouldn't have
00:14:24.580 mattered
00:14:24.860 who was president
00:14:25.760 because
00:14:27.220 was Obama
00:14:29.140 actually
00:14:29.760 in the lab
00:14:31.300 and working
00:14:32.340 on those test
00:14:33.100 kits?
00:14:33.780 So if he had
00:14:34.600 been president
00:14:35.160 for a third
00:14:35.740 term
00:14:36.080 we'd be okay,
00:14:37.480 right?
00:14:38.100 Because he would
00:14:38.840 have worked out
00:14:39.320 the science
00:14:39.980 unlike
00:14:40.520 dumb old
00:14:41.620 President Trump.
00:14:43.260 It's like he
00:14:44.100 doesn't even know
00:14:44.600 how to mix
00:14:45.020 chemicals or
00:14:45.740 something,
00:14:46.180 right?
00:14:47.140 It's like
00:14:47.480 so that was
00:14:49.520 the other good
00:14:50.020 reason.
00:14:50.340 and then
00:14:50.840 there was
00:14:51.120 this one
00:14:51.540 the PPE
00:14:52.620 was confiscated
00:14:53.860 by the feds.
00:14:55.520 What?
00:14:57.820 What?
00:14:59.020 Okay.
00:15:00.480 If there
00:15:01.200 wasn't enough
00:15:01.860 PPE
00:15:02.360 I think it
00:15:04.080 did make sense
00:15:04.940 to give it
00:15:05.440 to the front
00:15:05.960 line workers.
00:15:07.600 I'm not sure
00:15:08.260 anybody else
00:15:08.960 is holding
00:15:09.420 that against
00:15:10.280 the president
00:15:10.820 and then
00:15:11.740 the fourth
00:15:12.320 thing that
00:15:12.740 the president
00:15:13.160 did that
00:15:13.640 killed
00:15:13.940 200,000
00:15:15.400 people
00:15:15.760 is that
00:15:17.760 he said
00:15:18.160 the virus
00:15:18.680 is going
00:15:19.180 away.
00:15:20.340 which is
00:15:21.760 very similar
00:15:23.280 to or
00:15:24.000 exactly what
00:15:24.900 everybody in
00:15:25.780 the world
00:15:26.100 thinks.
00:15:27.540 It is going
00:15:28.080 to go away.
00:15:28.960 I don't know
00:15:29.680 when.
00:15:30.620 And of course
00:15:31.000 everybody knows
00:15:31.700 the president
00:15:32.200 is a little
00:15:32.900 hyperbolic.
00:15:34.460 But if you
00:15:35.180 thought the
00:15:35.680 virus was
00:15:37.480 going to
00:15:37.980 go away
00:15:38.560 how did
00:15:39.640 you act
00:15:40.020 differently?
00:15:41.180 Did you
00:15:41.860 say to
00:15:42.180 yourself
00:15:42.580 someday
00:15:43.580 in the
00:15:43.980 future
00:15:44.380 the virus
00:15:45.660 will go
00:15:46.200 away
00:15:46.600 therefore
00:15:47.600 logically
00:15:48.500 it cannot
00:15:49.640 infect
00:15:50.200 me
00:15:50.640 today?
00:15:52.220 You thought
00:15:52.960 that right?
00:15:53.900 You're sitting
00:15:54.400 at home
00:15:54.800 and you
00:15:55.000 said oh
00:15:55.440 the president
00:15:55.980 just said
00:15:56.540 that someday
00:15:57.360 in the
00:15:57.760 future
00:15:58.180 we don't
00:15:59.140 know when
00:15:59.620 but in
00:15:59.940 the future
00:16:00.480 the virus
00:16:01.680 will go
00:16:02.080 away
00:16:02.360 and therefore
00:16:03.200 since the
00:16:03.760 virus will
00:16:04.300 go away
00:16:04.700 in the
00:16:04.980 future
00:16:05.400 it poses
00:16:07.040 no risk
00:16:07.740 to me
00:16:08.100 today
00:16:08.480 so I
00:16:08.860 don't need
00:16:09.140 to wear
00:16:09.360 a mask
00:16:09.840 because it
00:16:10.800 won't exist
00:16:11.400 in the
00:16:12.220 future.
00:16:13.560 So that's
00:16:14.200 the fourth
00:16:14.680 good reason
00:16:15.340 that Pat
00:16:16.660 East gives
00:16:17.280 me on
00:16:17.860 Twitter
00:16:18.160 for why
00:16:18.840 the president
00:16:19.280 killed
00:16:19.780 200,000
00:16:20.720 people.
00:16:21.780 He didn't
00:16:22.140 wear a
00:16:22.480 mask
00:16:22.900 which made
00:16:23.680 everybody
00:16:24.280 who follows
00:16:25.820 him not
00:16:26.180 wear a
00:16:26.500 mask
00:16:26.740 obviously.
00:16:28.280 He botched
00:16:29.840 those test
00:16:30.460 kits that he
00:16:31.100 made personally.
00:16:32.420 He allowed
00:16:34.040 the PPE to
00:16:34.940 go to the
00:16:35.640 frontline workers
00:16:36.720 okay
00:16:38.180 and he
00:16:39.860 thought it
00:16:40.200 would go
00:16:40.500 away in
00:16:41.000 the future
00:16:41.520 which caused
00:16:42.940 people in
00:16:43.600 the present
00:16:44.180 to think
00:16:45.080 that they
00:16:45.480 couldn't be
00:16:45.880 infected by
00:16:47.140 an active
00:16:47.740 virus.
00:16:49.260 Because that
00:16:50.300 makes sense.
00:16:51.320 So those are
00:16:51.820 the good
00:16:52.240 reasons that
00:16:52.880 are given
00:16:53.200 for why the
00:16:54.240 president killed
00:16:54.800 200,000
00:16:55.360 people.
00:16:56.860 You may
00:16:57.700 not know
00:16:58.700 this but
00:16:59.680 now you
00:17:00.380 will.
00:17:01.320 There's a
00:17:01.840 lawsuit against
00:17:02.860 our favorite
00:17:03.600 meme maker
00:17:04.400 Carpe
00:17:04.880 Donctum who
00:17:05.560 got kicked
00:17:06.340 off of
00:17:06.720 Twitter.
00:17:06.940 And you
00:17:09.240 can see it
00:17:09.720 in my
00:17:10.100 Twitter feed
00:17:10.880 or you
00:17:11.460 can just
00:17:11.760 search for
00:17:12.320 it Carpe
00:17:13.100 Donctum
00:17:13.520 and you
00:17:15.480 should donate
00:17:16.620 to that.
00:17:17.860 Because if
00:17:18.780 you haven't
00:17:19.200 noticed the
00:17:20.840 war within
00:17:22.200 the war
00:17:22.740 a lot of
00:17:24.400 the people
00:17:24.740 who are
00:17:25.140 effective at
00:17:26.720 promoting
00:17:28.100 their side
00:17:28.840 are being
00:17:29.900 picked off
00:17:30.740 in a way
00:17:31.740 we didn't
00:17:32.180 used to do
00:17:32.720 before.
00:17:33.180 It used to
00:17:33.540 be that people
00:17:34.160 would go after
00:17:34.680 the professionals
00:17:35.460 after the
00:17:36.620 politicians
00:17:37.180 but now
00:17:38.260 people are
00:17:38.660 going after
00:17:39.060 pundits.
00:17:40.080 People are
00:17:40.340 going after
00:17:40.900 any strong
00:17:42.840 advocate if
00:17:44.160 they can get
00:17:44.720 them anyway.
00:17:46.060 So here's
00:17:46.480 Carpe Donctum
00:17:47.960 not some
00:17:50.120 rich guy
00:17:50.740 doesn't have
00:17:51.620 resources
00:17:53.040 unlimited
00:17:53.620 resources
00:17:54.240 and he
00:17:56.040 gets sued
00:17:56.720 for a
00:17:58.480 meme in
00:17:59.500 which two
00:18:00.640 little toddlers
00:18:01.440 were shown
00:18:02.100 and the
00:18:03.840 parents of
00:18:04.800 the toddlers
00:18:05.420 are suing
00:18:06.580 him.
00:18:08.080 Why?
00:18:09.200 I mean what
00:18:09.700 possible harm
00:18:10.820 could have
00:18:11.480 happened because
00:18:12.180 two toddlers
00:18:12.820 that nobody
00:18:13.280 recognized?
00:18:14.460 And by the
00:18:14.840 way the
00:18:15.980 video he
00:18:16.580 used was
00:18:17.180 something that
00:18:17.600 was already
00:18:17.960 public.
00:18:18.980 He just
00:18:19.400 used it in a
00:18:20.100 different context
00:18:20.880 to make it
00:18:21.360 look different.
00:18:22.280 But it was
00:18:22.760 obviously a
00:18:23.500 joke.
00:18:24.340 Anybody who
00:18:24.920 saw it knew
00:18:25.400 it was a
00:18:25.780 joke.
00:18:26.160 It had
00:18:26.380 nothing to
00:18:26.900 do with the
00:18:27.280 two little
00:18:27.660 kids in
00:18:28.120 it.
00:18:28.520 It wasn't
00:18:29.000 accusing them
00:18:29.840 or anything
00:18:30.260 or blaming
00:18:30.940 them because
00:18:31.940 they were
00:18:32.400 toddlers.
00:18:34.080 So nobody
00:18:35.500 could possibly
00:18:36.360 make any
00:18:36.880 kind of
00:18:37.180 judgment about
00:18:37.900 the kids.
00:18:39.520 And again
00:18:40.300 it was already
00:18:40.760 public video
00:18:41.720 so it's not
00:18:42.300 like they
00:18:42.900 were being
00:18:43.240 seen for
00:18:43.700 the first
00:18:44.000 time.
00:18:45.340 So this
00:18:46.020 is just
00:18:46.360 more of
00:18:47.100 the badness
00:18:48.220 of people
00:18:48.660 trying to
00:18:49.180 take chess
00:18:50.340 pieces off
00:18:51.000 the board
00:18:51.460 simply because
00:18:53.140 he's a
00:18:54.480 supporter of
00:18:55.260 President Trump
00:18:56.340 he gets
00:18:57.340 sued.
00:18:58.400 Now do
00:18:58.800 you think
00:18:59.140 that the
00:18:59.500 lawsuit the
00:19:00.280 purpose of
00:19:00.900 it is to
00:19:01.940 win?
00:19:02.960 Do you
00:19:03.280 think those
00:19:03.700 parents have
00:19:04.300 anything to
00:19:04.940 win?
00:19:06.240 Right?
00:19:06.720 What are they
00:19:07.220 going to win?
00:19:08.340 Are they going
00:19:08.880 to get all
00:19:09.380 of his money
00:19:09.900 that doesn't
00:19:10.420 exist?
00:19:11.900 Right?
00:19:12.200 All of his
00:19:12.700 wealth or
00:19:13.180 something that
00:19:13.640 doesn't exist?
00:19:14.980 All it does
00:19:15.960 is punish him.
00:19:17.220 It is nothing
00:19:18.000 but a way to
00:19:18.740 take a piece
00:19:19.980 off the board
00:19:20.680 and punish him
00:19:22.040 away from
00:19:22.480 politics.
00:19:24.280 So if you
00:19:25.160 can donate to
00:19:25.900 his legal
00:19:26.360 defense fund
00:19:27.080 you would
00:19:28.120 be doing a
00:19:28.620 good thing
00:19:29.000 for the
00:19:29.320 world I
00:19:29.740 think.
00:19:30.920 So there's
00:19:31.300 something really
00:19:31.880 interesting happening
00:19:32.840 in the world
00:19:33.560 of batteries.
00:19:36.060 Now that
00:19:36.740 doesn't seem
00:19:37.220 like a sexy
00:19:38.080 topic except
00:19:38.880 it's going to
00:19:39.620 change the
00:19:40.120 whole freaking
00:19:40.840 world.
00:19:42.260 There's something
00:19:42.980 about ready to
00:19:43.960 happen and
00:19:44.740 when I say
00:19:45.320 about it
00:19:46.380 could be within
00:19:47.020 the next two
00:19:47.880 years but you
00:19:48.720 could see some
00:19:49.340 things really
00:19:50.040 soon.
00:19:52.820 The first
00:19:53.620 one is that
00:19:54.280 Tesla is
00:19:55.560 talking about
00:19:56.240 something they
00:19:56.880 call battery
00:19:57.580 day.
00:19:58.480 Battery day
00:19:59.340 apparently,
00:20:00.520 if I understand
00:20:01.300 it right,
00:20:02.200 is the
00:20:02.660 theoretical day
00:20:04.780 at which
00:20:05.760 buying a car
00:20:06.740 with a battery
00:20:07.420 will just be
00:20:08.360 less expensive
00:20:09.240 than a car
00:20:10.000 with gasoline.
00:20:11.500 And once it
00:20:12.040 becomes more
00:20:13.120 economical to
00:20:14.080 have a battery
00:20:14.760 instead of
00:20:15.500 gasoline,
00:20:16.840 then everything
00:20:17.520 changes quickly.
00:20:18.920 Things are
00:20:19.460 changing but
00:20:20.120 that's when it
00:20:20.920 changes really
00:20:21.480 quickly.
00:20:21.860 because nobody
00:20:23.140 is going to
00:20:24.040 want a gas
00:20:25.080 powered car.
00:20:27.420 Not nobody,
00:20:28.140 but you know
00:20:28.480 what I mean.
00:20:29.200 A lot of
00:20:29.580 people are
00:20:29.900 just going to
00:20:30.300 say,
00:20:30.540 oh,
00:20:30.760 well,
00:20:31.040 I'll take
00:20:31.400 the one
00:20:31.640 that costs
00:20:32.000 less if
00:20:32.460 that's
00:20:32.720 electric.
00:20:33.580 Why
00:20:33.820 wouldn't I?
00:20:34.460 Lots of
00:20:34.880 advantages.
00:20:36.060 So I
00:20:37.340 guess Musk
00:20:38.080 said that
00:20:38.580 that might
00:20:38.940 be two
00:20:39.420 years away
00:20:40.140 and that
00:20:41.080 might have
00:20:41.520 to do with
00:20:41.880 how long
00:20:42.220 it takes
00:20:42.520 to build
00:20:42.920 production
00:20:43.500 and create
00:20:44.160 enough
00:20:44.460 batteries.
00:20:45.500 And
00:20:45.540 apparently
00:20:45.920 Tesla is
00:20:46.800 at least
00:20:47.280 teasing that
00:20:48.900 they might
00:20:49.260 start making
00:20:49.820 their own
00:20:50.200 batteries instead
00:20:51.080 of buying
00:20:51.860 all of
00:20:52.380 them or
00:20:53.460 buying,
00:20:54.260 I don't
00:20:54.500 know,
00:20:54.680 most or
00:20:55.060 all of
00:20:55.320 them from
00:20:56.120 other places.
00:20:57.240 So that's
00:20:57.880 big.
00:20:58.480 Now,
00:20:58.760 if you
00:20:59.060 didn't know
00:20:59.580 this,
00:21:00.760 the improvement
00:21:02.620 in batteries
00:21:03.500 is very similar
00:21:05.000 to the
00:21:05.380 improvement in
00:21:06.180 microchips.
00:21:07.320 You know how
00:21:07.800 microchips just
00:21:08.740 get better and
00:21:09.320 better and
00:21:09.640 better and
00:21:10.380 you say to
00:21:10.800 yourself,
00:21:11.560 well,
00:21:11.760 when is this
00:21:12.240 going to
00:21:12.500 stop?
00:21:13.180 When do
00:21:13.680 microchips
00:21:14.380 stop getting
00:21:15.580 faster?
00:21:16.760 And the answer
00:21:17.280 is, I don't
00:21:17.980 know, but
00:21:18.420 they just keep
00:21:18.940 going.
00:21:19.280 They just
00:21:19.840 keep getting
00:21:20.400 faster.
00:21:22.280 Batteries are
00:21:22.920 doing the
00:21:23.240 same thing.
00:21:24.120 But I think
00:21:24.440 it's a slower
00:21:25.040 rate so you
00:21:25.820 don't see it
00:21:26.300 as much,
00:21:26.680 you know,
00:21:26.860 it's not as
00:21:27.320 flashy.
00:21:28.200 It's not like
00:21:28.760 it's doubling
00:21:29.240 every year.
00:21:30.180 But it's
00:21:31.360 very consistently
00:21:32.200 getting better
00:21:33.080 every year and
00:21:34.040 quite substantially
00:21:34.920 to the point
00:21:36.200 where everything
00:21:38.320 will change.
00:21:39.760 The feasibility
00:21:41.420 of all kinds
00:21:42.820 of things
00:21:43.360 changes if
00:21:44.640 you can store
00:21:45.480 energy
00:21:46.460 economically.
00:21:47.840 There is
00:21:48.520 apparently another
00:21:49.180 startup called
00:21:51.260 QuantumScape.
00:21:54.960 And they're
00:21:55.500 talking about
00:21:56.780 an IPO,
00:21:57.940 but they
00:21:58.500 won't reveal
00:21:59.220 the details
00:21:59.880 of their
00:22:00.300 technology,
00:22:01.240 but they
00:22:01.860 claim to
00:22:02.400 have some
00:22:03.040 kind of
00:22:03.400 battery
00:22:03.720 breakthrough
00:22:04.260 that would
00:22:05.280 even leapfrog
00:22:06.300 where Tesla
00:22:06.960 is now.
00:22:08.560 And where
00:22:08.900 Tesla is now
00:22:09.660 is pretty
00:22:10.040 darn impressive.
00:22:11.220 But if this
00:22:11.960 is true,
00:22:12.860 and we have
00:22:13.460 reason to believe
00:22:14.180 maybe it's not
00:22:14.840 as true
00:22:15.260 as it
00:22:16.220 could be
00:22:16.600 because they're
00:22:17.100 not being
00:22:17.780 forthcoming
00:22:18.960 with their
00:22:19.360 details.
00:22:20.960 But if it's
00:22:21.560 true,
00:22:22.060 I mean,
00:22:22.580 it's a
00:22:24.280 billion-dollar
00:22:24.960 plus enterprise
00:22:26.160 and they
00:22:26.900 say they're
00:22:27.280 going IPO.
00:22:28.660 So if it's
00:22:29.280 a fraud,
00:22:30.500 it's a big
00:22:31.040 one.
00:22:32.040 So it's
00:22:32.640 either pretty
00:22:33.760 important or
00:22:35.660 it would be a
00:22:37.120 pretty bold
00:22:37.660 fraud if it
00:22:38.420 were a fraud.
00:22:39.280 So I'm
00:22:39.840 guessing it's
00:22:40.360 real.
00:22:41.580 The other
00:22:42.320 thing that's
00:22:42.720 changing is
00:22:43.300 that the
00:22:43.560 batteries are
00:22:44.080 becoming so
00:22:45.060 good, and
00:22:46.720 we anticipate
00:22:47.580 that they
00:22:48.080 will get
00:22:48.620 better at
00:22:49.240 such a rate
00:22:50.040 that it
00:22:50.940 will be
00:22:51.260 practical to
00:22:52.020 have airplanes
00:22:52.820 that are
00:22:53.740 electric.
00:22:54.720 And there
00:22:55.060 are companies
00:22:55.600 actively working
00:22:57.080 on electric
00:22:58.040 jets.
00:22:59.180 So if you've
00:23:00.060 got electric
00:23:00.680 jets, you've
00:23:02.080 got electric
00:23:02.600 cars that are
00:23:03.380 cheaper, you've
00:23:04.940 got a big
00:23:08.060 part of the
00:23:09.280 solution,
00:23:10.580 for maybe
00:23:12.060 something that
00:23:12.740 deals with
00:23:13.500 climate change,
00:23:14.400 for example.
00:23:16.720 Now, of course,
00:23:17.740 you still need
00:23:18.320 something to
00:23:18.980 generate all
00:23:19.760 that electricity,
00:23:20.900 and I'm
00:23:21.160 guessing it's
00:23:21.640 going to be
00:23:21.960 nuclear.
00:23:23.240 But if you
00:23:24.400 add nuclear
00:23:25.200 plus solar
00:23:26.940 plus batteries
00:23:27.940 plus some
00:23:29.120 people are
00:23:29.500 going to want
00:23:29.800 to do some
00:23:30.220 windmills,
00:23:31.480 maybe you
00:23:31.960 should do
00:23:32.200 more nuclear
00:23:33.660 and fewer
00:23:34.420 windmills.
00:23:35.280 But there's
00:23:35.800 also a
00:23:36.200 transition thing.
00:23:37.220 You could do
00:23:37.740 a windmill
00:23:38.120 faster than
00:23:38.740 you can do
00:23:39.320 a nuclear.
00:23:40.580 So I
00:23:41.880 think you're
00:23:42.400 going to
00:23:42.600 see the
00:23:42.960 point where
00:23:44.140 climate change
00:23:47.040 is, at
00:23:47.820 least we
00:23:48.320 feel it's
00:23:48.840 being addressed.
00:23:50.560 If you
00:23:51.260 don't think
00:23:51.660 climate change
00:23:52.240 is a problem,
00:23:53.060 that's separate.
00:23:54.540 But a lot of
00:23:55.800 people do,
00:23:56.840 and I do
00:23:58.700 think that the
00:23:59.460 climate's getting
00:24:00.360 warmer.
00:24:01.240 So it might
00:24:02.100 make a difference.
00:24:03.520 It might make
00:24:04.240 a difference.
00:24:05.000 That's right.
00:24:05.520 So nuclear
00:24:06.100 plus better
00:24:07.000 batteries is
00:24:07.900 just a
00:24:08.300 complete game
00:24:09.040 changer.
00:24:10.040 Complete game
00:24:10.960 changer.
00:24:11.800 But here's the
00:24:12.680 other way it's
00:24:13.140 a game changer.
00:24:14.160 I don't believe
00:24:15.320 we would see
00:24:16.160 as much
00:24:16.800 progress in
00:24:17.680 the Middle
00:24:18.000 East in
00:24:18.980 terms of
00:24:19.580 peace deals
00:24:20.640 with Israel
00:24:22.200 unless all
00:24:25.600 of the oil
00:24:26.120 producing regions
00:24:27.220 could see
00:24:27.960 that in the
00:24:28.820 long run
00:24:29.500 oil is going
00:24:31.260 to be less
00:24:32.160 important.
00:24:32.600 If you
00:24:34.320 own a
00:24:34.780 country that
00:24:35.360 produces
00:24:36.000 oil and
00:24:36.520 everybody
00:24:36.800 needs it
00:24:37.420 and they
00:24:37.840 just have
00:24:38.720 to deal
00:24:39.080 with you,
00:24:39.680 they just
00:24:40.480 have to
00:24:41.120 deal with
00:24:41.460 you because
00:24:41.800 they need
00:24:42.180 oil,
00:24:42.940 you can
00:24:43.600 be a
00:24:43.920 bad actor.
00:24:45.180 You can
00:24:45.600 be a
00:24:45.940 very bad
00:24:46.660 country as
00:24:47.800 long as
00:24:48.160 you have
00:24:48.400 oil because
00:24:49.440 people are
00:24:49.840 still going
00:24:50.160 to buy
00:24:50.380 your oil.
00:24:51.300 But what
00:24:51.640 if people
00:24:52.000 don't need
00:24:52.440 your oil?
00:24:53.640 Well,
00:24:54.180 if you're
00:24:54.500 looking at
00:24:55.080 20 years
00:24:56.280 from now,
00:24:56.920 you're going
00:24:57.280 to say to
00:24:57.620 yourself,
00:24:58.240 we better
00:24:59.700 make friends
00:25:00.640 and quick
00:25:01.520 because we're
00:25:02.620 going to need
00:25:02.960 to have a
00:25:03.300 different kind
00:25:03.840 of economy.
00:25:04.740 It's going
00:25:04.960 to require
00:25:05.480 more cooperative
00:25:06.640 win-win deals.
00:25:09.320 We're not
00:25:09.840 going to be
00:25:10.100 able to
00:25:10.360 just strong
00:25:10.940 arm people
00:25:11.420 and say,
00:25:11.880 hey,
00:25:12.000 you want
00:25:12.380 oil?
00:25:13.060 If you
00:25:13.500 want oil,
00:25:14.680 I guess
00:25:15.000 you've got
00:25:15.280 to deal
00:25:15.540 with us.
00:25:16.320 That will
00:25:16.680 be the
00:25:16.980 old way.
00:25:18.460 So when
00:25:19.400 you look
00:25:19.680 at the
00:25:20.020 Tesla
00:25:20.500 battery
00:25:21.760 deal,
00:25:22.720 you're
00:25:23.000 looking at
00:25:23.480 Elon Musk
00:25:24.500 creating peace
00:25:26.600 in the
00:25:26.820 Middle East.
00:25:28.120 Is that
00:25:28.760 too much
00:25:29.180 of a
00:25:29.420 statement?
00:25:29.680 I'm not
00:25:30.960 sure it
00:25:31.320 is.
00:25:32.520 I don't
00:25:32.920 think it
00:25:33.280 is.
00:25:34.100 I think
00:25:34.540 Elon Musk,
00:25:36.140 through the
00:25:36.700 power of
00:25:37.440 his entrepreneurial
00:25:38.400 will and
00:25:40.400 unnatural
00:25:41.480 ability to
00:25:42.320 get things
00:25:42.760 done,
00:25:43.800 I think
00:25:44.280 Elon Musk
00:25:45.140 is making
00:25:45.800 peace in
00:25:46.440 the Middle
00:25:46.740 East
00:25:47.100 possible.
00:25:48.880 Because I've
00:25:49.940 told you
00:25:50.340 lots of
00:25:50.860 times that
00:25:51.760 people are
00:25:52.140 more influenced
00:25:53.000 by the
00:25:53.480 direction of
00:25:54.220 things and
00:25:54.780 where things
00:25:55.240 are heading
00:25:55.700 than they
00:25:56.660 are by
00:25:57.000 where things
00:25:57.500 are.
00:25:58.440 Because you
00:25:58.800 really care
00:25:59.340 about where
00:25:59.720 you're
00:25:59.920 heading,
00:26:00.560 but you
00:26:01.440 don't think
00:26:01.900 so much
00:26:02.340 about where
00:26:02.720 you are,
00:26:03.120 you just
00:26:03.440 get used
00:26:03.840 to that.
00:26:06.140 And where
00:26:06.820 things are
00:26:07.280 heading,
00:26:08.380 thanks to
00:26:09.180 Elon Musk,
00:26:10.400 probably the
00:26:11.140 biggest influence
00:26:12.680 on where
00:26:13.180 things are
00:26:13.540 heading in
00:26:14.440 terms of
00:26:14.820 batteries,
00:26:16.080 the Middle
00:26:17.000 East has
00:26:17.460 got to get
00:26:17.840 flexible.
00:26:19.020 Recently we
00:26:19.740 saw that
00:26:20.240 Iran said
00:26:22.480 that it
00:26:22.760 would exchange
00:26:23.580 all prisoners
00:26:24.220 with the
00:26:24.680 United States.
00:26:25.440 now is
00:26:26.740 that foreshadowing
00:26:28.980 a little
00:26:29.480 bit of
00:26:29.760 flexibility
00:26:30.240 from Iran?
00:26:31.640 I don't
00:26:32.320 know.
00:26:33.220 Maybe not.
00:26:34.320 I mean,
00:26:34.880 historically,
00:26:36.360 they've done
00:26:37.240 prisoner things
00:26:38.000 before and it
00:26:38.820 didn't change
00:26:39.340 their overall
00:26:40.100 behavior,
00:26:40.860 but it
00:26:41.340 could be.
00:26:42.320 It could
00:26:42.620 be.
00:26:43.880 And I was
00:26:47.220 looking at
00:26:48.060 Pompeo,
00:26:48.820 I was
00:26:49.060 tweeting and
00:26:50.440 announcing that
00:26:52.560 Europe is
00:26:53.320 still selling
00:26:54.380 arms to
00:26:55.400 Iran.
00:26:56.380 And I
00:26:56.720 thought to
00:26:57.040 myself,
00:26:58.160 what?
00:26:59.160 That's one of
00:26:59.720 those things
00:27:00.120 you don't
00:27:00.380 really pay
00:27:00.800 attention to
00:27:01.480 until you
00:27:02.820 get slapped
00:27:03.360 in the face
00:27:03.900 with it.
00:27:04.340 And I
00:27:04.520 thought to
00:27:04.800 myself,
00:27:05.540 who exactly
00:27:06.620 is selling
00:27:07.140 arms to
00:27:07.780 Iran in
00:27:09.960 this day
00:27:10.640 and age?
00:27:11.980 And Pompeo
00:27:13.440 was a little
00:27:13.960 bit vague
00:27:14.920 about who
00:27:15.420 was doing
00:27:16.160 it, but
00:27:16.620 don't you
00:27:17.780 kind of want
00:27:18.400 to know
00:27:18.980 who exactly
00:27:21.180 is selling
00:27:21.920 military-grade
00:27:24.460 stuff to
00:27:25.020 Iran?
00:27:25.980 How in
00:27:26.560 the world
00:27:26.940 does that
00:27:27.340 make sense?
00:27:28.660 Why are
00:27:29.000 we doing
00:27:29.460 business with
00:27:31.920 any country
00:27:32.600 that's selling
00:27:33.080 Iran,
00:27:34.120 selling weapons
00:27:34.840 to Iran?
00:27:35.900 Are we
00:27:36.500 talking about
00:27:36.940 a big
00:27:37.340 country like
00:27:37.960 France?
00:27:38.960 Who the
00:27:39.520 hell is
00:27:40.040 selling weapons
00:27:40.660 to Iran?
00:27:42.120 Now,
00:27:43.040 is it,
00:27:43.780 is it,
00:27:45.280 and Pompeo
00:27:46.740 said it
00:27:47.100 was Europe.
00:27:48.460 He didn't
00:27:48.760 say it was
00:27:50.240 China or
00:27:51.120 Russia.
00:27:52.840 So I
00:27:53.400 got questions
00:27:53.980 about that.
00:27:54.860 But I
00:27:56.420 do suspect
00:27:57.020 that it
00:27:57.660 is possible
00:27:58.420 because of
00:27:59.820 the direction
00:28:00.380 of where
00:28:00.860 oil is
00:28:01.420 going,
00:28:02.200 that Iran
00:28:02.900 might actually
00:28:03.700 get flexible.
00:28:05.280 And the
00:28:06.260 administration
00:28:06.800 is sort
00:28:08.120 of surrounding
00:28:08.840 them with
00:28:09.600 allied forces
00:28:12.020 at this
00:28:12.500 point.
00:28:13.040 If Israel
00:28:13.860 and the
00:28:15.000 other countries
00:28:16.080 that are not
00:28:16.720 Iran start
00:28:17.460 being friendly,
00:28:18.400 it's going
00:28:19.300 to be
00:28:19.500 tough to
00:28:19.860 be
00:28:20.000 Iran.
00:28:21.460 Tough to
00:28:21.940 be
00:28:22.080 Iran.
00:28:26.400 I just
00:28:28.400 have to
00:28:28.680 look at
00:28:28.960 this.
00:28:33.080 I won't
00:28:33.720 even tell
00:28:34.040 you what
00:28:34.280 that's
00:28:34.520 about.
00:28:37.260 So yeah,
00:28:38.020 selling weapons
00:28:38.640 to Iran.
00:28:39.360 Let's get
00:28:39.740 some more
00:28:40.060 information
00:28:40.720 about that
00:28:41.420 because this
00:28:42.220 is one of
00:28:42.620 those things
00:28:43.040 that just
00:28:43.440 needs a
00:28:43.900 little sunlight,
00:28:45.000 doesn't it?
00:28:45.480 somebody's
00:28:48.000 asking about
00:28:48.520 Turkey.
00:28:50.680 I don't
00:28:51.340 know.
00:28:51.740 Let's find
00:28:52.360 out because
00:28:53.320 we should be
00:28:53.900 putting a
00:28:54.980 lot of
00:28:55.400 pressure on
00:28:56.180 any European
00:28:56.980 country.
00:28:58.200 Why would
00:28:58.940 we defend
00:28:59.660 a European
00:29:01.160 country that's
00:29:01.900 selling arms
00:29:02.760 to Iran?
00:29:04.080 Are we part
00:29:05.120 of NATO
00:29:05.600 with some
00:29:06.240 country that's
00:29:06.840 selling arms
00:29:07.580 to Iran?
00:29:08.740 Let's find
00:29:09.680 out what
00:29:09.980 that's all
00:29:10.400 about.
00:29:11.220 All right.
00:29:11.440 It's been
00:29:14.080 84 days
00:29:14.860 since Joe
00:29:15.420 Biden
00:29:15.780 promised to
00:29:16.640 release his
00:29:17.280 potential
00:29:17.820 Supreme Court
00:29:19.160 nominees.
00:29:20.280 Why do you
00:29:21.100 think it is
00:29:21.780 that Joe
00:29:22.620 Biden does
00:29:23.240 not want
00:29:23.700 to release
00:29:24.280 his list
00:29:25.180 of potential
00:29:25.960 Supreme Court
00:29:27.400 nominees?
00:29:28.920 Well,
00:29:30.380 I have a
00:29:31.480 suggestion.
00:29:33.820 The suggestion
00:29:34.980 might be
00:29:35.620 that in
00:29:37.360 the conservative
00:29:38.620 world,
00:29:39.340 people largely
00:29:41.040 agree what
00:29:42.000 a good
00:29:42.440 judge looks
00:29:43.420 like or a
00:29:44.100 good Supreme
00:29:44.880 Court justice.
00:29:46.180 They know
00:29:46.740 what that
00:29:47.040 looks like.
00:29:48.260 So I think
00:29:48.680 conservatives
00:29:49.240 could be,
00:29:50.140 you could rely
00:29:51.180 on them to
00:29:51.900 like the same
00:29:53.420 group of
00:29:53.920 people.
00:29:54.780 But I don't
00:29:55.520 know if that's
00:29:56.080 true for the
00:29:56.700 Democrats anymore.
00:29:58.060 It could be
00:29:58.640 that the
00:29:59.020 Democrats have
00:29:59.740 now split
00:30:00.680 into the
00:30:01.840 reasonable
00:30:03.200 moderates
00:30:03.980 and the
00:30:04.600 more extreme
00:30:05.980 ones.
00:30:06.460 And it could
00:30:06.840 be that there's
00:30:07.500 no such
00:30:08.020 thing as
00:30:09.300 a list
00:30:09.780 that Joe
00:30:10.280 Biden could
00:30:10.880 put out
00:30:11.400 that wouldn't
00:30:12.280 drive his
00:30:12.940 own base
00:30:13.440 apart.
00:30:14.680 It's possible
00:30:15.720 he can't
00:30:16.520 put that
00:30:16.920 list out
00:30:17.560 because it
00:30:18.420 would reveal
00:30:19.040 that the
00:30:19.460 Democrats are
00:30:20.080 not unified
00:30:20.760 and it would
00:30:21.420 give them a
00:30:21.900 reason to
00:30:22.600 hate each
00:30:25.040 other.
00:30:30.300 I guess
00:30:31.080 the U.S.
00:30:31.820 military is
00:30:32.400 going to
00:30:32.760 cut in half
00:30:33.460 once again
00:30:34.000 its troops
00:30:34.560 in Iraq.
00:30:35.500 How many
00:30:35.980 times does
00:30:37.360 President Trump
00:30:38.180 have to do
00:30:38.860 something that
00:30:39.520 the military
00:30:40.180 says shouldn't
00:30:41.380 be done or
00:30:41.980 couldn't be
00:30:42.440 done and it
00:30:43.060 works out
00:30:43.480 fine?
00:30:44.840 How many
00:30:45.200 examples have
00:30:46.060 we seen
00:30:46.480 now where
00:30:47.620 Trump and
00:30:48.300 the military
00:30:48.880 have disagreed
00:30:49.940 and Trump
00:30:51.160 turns out to
00:30:51.860 be right?
00:30:53.440 A lot?
00:30:54.920 All of them?
00:30:56.460 Doesn't it look
00:30:57.120 to you like
00:30:57.820 Trump is right
00:30:59.360 on military
00:31:00.020 stuff?
00:31:00.960 A lot?
00:31:01.900 and could
00:31:04.520 it be
00:31:04.980 because Trump
00:31:06.860 is right
00:31:07.440 that the
00:31:08.180 generals are
00:31:08.800 dopes and
00:31:09.540 we just
00:31:09.880 didn't know
00:31:10.320 it?
00:31:11.120 Or could
00:31:12.100 it be
00:31:12.480 that the
00:31:14.160 military
00:31:14.920 industrial
00:31:15.560 complex
00:31:16.380 makes the
00:31:17.780 generals act
00:31:18.820 dumb?
00:31:19.920 They're not
00:31:20.560 dumb, but
00:31:21.240 they act
00:31:21.780 dumb because
00:31:22.940 they're beholden
00:31:23.900 to other
00:31:24.540 interests.
00:31:25.580 Is that
00:31:25.940 possible?
00:31:27.160 Well, Eisenhower
00:31:28.140 said it was a
00:31:28.800 fact.
00:31:30.220 Nobody said
00:31:30.960 it wasn't a
00:31:31.500 fact.
00:31:32.160 From the
00:31:32.780 day that
00:31:33.160 Eisenhower
00:31:33.680 did his
00:31:34.320 military
00:31:35.360 industrial
00:31:35.900 speech where
00:31:37.580 he said,
00:31:38.020 hey, watch
00:31:38.360 out for the
00:31:38.940 military and
00:31:39.780 industry trying
00:31:41.080 to influence
00:31:41.740 the government,
00:31:42.360 they have too
00:31:42.680 much power.
00:31:43.660 Nobody from
00:31:44.500 that day to
00:31:45.240 today has
00:31:46.460 said that's
00:31:46.980 not real.
00:31:48.480 Nobody has
00:31:49.180 ever said,
00:31:49.900 nope, there's
00:31:50.960 no such thing
00:31:51.660 as a military
00:31:53.060 industrial complex.
00:31:55.240 And here we
00:31:55.680 are and you
00:31:56.740 have Trump
00:31:57.340 basically saying
00:31:59.240 that the
00:31:59.720 generals are
00:32:00.600 effectively not
00:32:02.220 on your
00:32:02.540 side.
00:32:03.960 Is he
00:32:04.600 wrong?
00:32:06.560 Well, if
00:32:07.620 Eisenhower was
00:32:08.500 right, so
00:32:10.080 is Trump.
00:32:11.320 He just
00:32:11.740 says it
00:32:12.120 differently.
00:32:13.080 Eisenhower
00:32:13.520 says watch
00:32:14.040 out for the
00:32:14.480 military-industrial
00:32:15.460 complex.
00:32:16.480 It's real.
00:32:17.860 Trump says
00:32:18.560 the generals
00:32:19.140 are dopes.
00:32:21.260 It's kind of
00:32:21.800 the same thing
00:32:22.420 because I
00:32:23.280 don't think
00:32:23.580 they're dopes
00:32:24.120 in the sense
00:32:24.640 that they're
00:32:25.000 actually not
00:32:25.820 smart.
00:32:26.820 Nobody would
00:32:27.320 make that
00:32:27.700 claim.
00:32:28.020 These are
00:32:28.740 very, very
00:32:29.340 smart people.
00:32:30.420 But if they
00:32:31.040 don't make
00:32:31.480 the right
00:32:31.860 decisions and
00:32:33.260 they consistently
00:32:34.140 don't make
00:32:34.700 the right
00:32:35.020 decisions, you
00:32:36.100 got to kind
00:32:36.560 of look at
00:32:36.940 Eisenhower,
00:32:37.520 don't you?
00:32:38.480 And say,
00:32:39.000 well, why
00:32:39.420 is that?
00:32:40.480 Is it because
00:32:41.360 they all get
00:32:42.020 lucrative jobs
00:32:43.240 later?
00:32:43.820 Is it because
00:32:44.380 of who they
00:32:44.860 hang out with
00:32:45.560 and how
00:32:46.340 they're influenced?
00:32:47.920 I don't know.
00:32:49.000 All I know
00:32:49.620 is that the
00:32:50.080 guy who's not
00:32:50.760 supposed to
00:32:51.220 know anything
00:32:51.800 about the
00:32:52.300 military,
00:32:53.420 Trump,
00:32:54.040 keeps making
00:32:54.880 the right
00:32:55.280 decisions.
00:32:55.720 And the
00:32:56.580 generals don't.
00:32:58.920 That's just
00:32:59.480 a fact now.
00:33:00.920 You know,
00:33:01.300 before I think
00:33:02.500 you could say,
00:33:03.140 hey, Trump
00:33:04.640 is crazy if
00:33:05.400 he's overruling
00:33:06.140 generals.
00:33:06.880 But not
00:33:07.500 now.
00:33:08.500 Now I think
00:33:09.120 you could say
00:33:09.740 Trump overruling
00:33:11.860 the generals
00:33:12.440 is pretty much
00:33:13.760 exactly what I
00:33:14.640 want to see
00:33:15.040 more of.
00:33:15.900 A lot more
00:33:16.680 of it,
00:33:17.320 actually.
00:33:20.200 All right.
00:33:22.880 Two of the
00:33:23.580 best things
00:33:24.160 that Trump
00:33:24.740 has brought
00:33:25.560 the country
00:33:26.200 are a
00:33:27.960 complete lack
00:33:28.780 of trust
00:33:29.340 in the
00:33:29.820 press and
00:33:31.220 a complete
00:33:31.820 lack of
00:33:32.420 trust in
00:33:32.960 our own
00:33:33.420 generals.
00:33:34.840 Now, I
00:33:35.780 know people
00:33:36.300 are going to
00:33:36.640 say, Scott,
00:33:37.880 those sound
00:33:38.440 like bad
00:33:38.940 things.
00:33:40.100 It's bad
00:33:40.720 that we
00:33:41.020 don't trust
00:33:41.540 our press
00:33:42.180 and it's
00:33:43.300 bad that we
00:33:43.900 don't trust
00:33:44.380 our generals.
00:33:45.720 Is it?
00:33:47.020 It's only
00:33:47.720 bad if it's
00:33:49.260 wrong.
00:33:50.520 If the
00:33:51.160 press were
00:33:51.740 legitimate and
00:33:53.000 the president
00:33:53.440 said don't
00:33:54.020 trust them,
00:33:54.740 well, that
00:33:55.380 would be a
00:33:55.780 problem.
00:33:56.940 But the
00:33:57.580 press is not
00:33:58.220 legitimate.
00:33:58.940 They're not
00:33:59.300 even close to
00:34:00.040 legitimate.
00:34:00.800 They're not
00:34:01.240 even slightly
00:34:01.980 legitimate.
00:34:03.240 So when the
00:34:03.940 president trains
00:34:05.340 the public to
00:34:06.880 understand that
00:34:07.820 the press is no
00:34:08.800 longer legitimate,
00:34:10.180 has he done a
00:34:11.180 horrible thing to
00:34:11.920 the country or
00:34:13.320 one of the most
00:34:14.140 valuable things
00:34:15.000 that's ever
00:34:15.420 happened?
00:34:16.260 I would say it's
00:34:17.100 one of the most
00:34:17.660 valuable things
00:34:18.820 that's ever
00:34:20.160 happened, our
00:34:21.240 understanding that
00:34:22.120 the press is no
00:34:22.920 longer what it
00:34:23.520 used to be and
00:34:24.260 can't be trusted.
00:34:25.680 What about
00:34:26.220 trusting our
00:34:27.200 generals or
00:34:28.200 not trusting
00:34:28.780 them?
00:34:29.660 That too looks
00:34:31.840 like more of
00:34:32.520 an Eisenhower
00:34:33.500 super useful
00:34:35.340 thing to
00:34:35.860 understand.
00:34:37.160 Because how
00:34:38.320 often have you
00:34:38.940 heard, you
00:34:39.780 know, hey,
00:34:40.200 the generals say
00:34:41.760 there's only one
00:34:42.340 way to handle
00:34:42.880 this and it
00:34:43.900 just happens to
00:34:44.620 be a military
00:34:45.200 answer.
00:34:46.560 I don't know.
00:34:47.240 I think these
00:34:48.980 are the two
00:34:49.440 best things the
00:34:50.180 president has
00:34:51.400 brought us.
00:34:52.020 Lack of trust
00:34:52.840 in the press,
00:34:53.980 lack of trust in
00:34:55.000 our own generals.
00:34:56.260 There's a reason
00:34:57.020 we have a civilian
00:34:58.000 leadership over the
00:35:00.460 military and we
00:35:01.300 can see it now.
00:35:03.560 Steve Cortez
00:35:04.600 tweeted that
00:35:06.040 deranged Don
00:35:07.320 Lemon threatens
00:35:08.060 to, quote,
00:35:08.700 blow up the
00:35:09.220 entire system,
00:35:10.240 including the
00:35:11.300 electoral college
00:35:12.320 and stacking the
00:35:13.220 court.
00:35:13.840 I love deranged.
00:35:14.900 Deranged Don
00:35:16.820 Lemon.
00:35:17.440 There are very
00:35:18.020 few words that
00:35:18.980 fit so perfectly
00:35:20.000 because, you
00:35:21.120 know, if you
00:35:21.500 say Don Lemon,
00:35:22.480 any other insults
00:35:23.620 like, oh, he's
00:35:24.480 dumb or he's
00:35:25.720 whatever, biased
00:35:26.780 or whatever,
00:35:27.300 there's no other
00:35:28.040 word that would
00:35:28.580 fit quite as well
00:35:29.660 as deranged.
00:35:32.340 When you watch
00:35:33.220 Don Lemon, that
00:35:34.480 is the word that
00:35:35.200 jumps into your
00:35:35.940 mind when you're
00:35:36.840 watching him.
00:35:37.400 You're thinking,
00:35:38.280 well, he's
00:35:38.740 clearly smart.
00:35:40.480 He's clearly
00:35:41.320 talented.
00:35:43.080 But what's
00:35:43.820 going on here?
00:35:44.900 There's something
00:35:45.720 deranged happening
00:35:46.960 here.
00:35:50.100 So when we're
00:35:51.460 talking about
00:35:52.000 everything being
00:35:52.740 on the table,
00:35:54.140 it's really
00:35:55.200 getting interesting,
00:35:56.260 the world of
00:35:56.760 politics, because
00:35:58.160 I think the
00:35:59.120 idea of stacking
00:35:59.940 the court went
00:36:01.280 from a ridiculous
00:36:02.460 idea to, yeah,
00:36:04.020 that could happen.
00:36:05.720 Stacking the
00:36:06.420 court looks like a
00:36:07.200 real thing that
00:36:07.800 would definitely
00:36:08.280 happen if Biden
00:36:09.040 got elected.
00:36:10.060 I would say if
00:36:11.060 Biden got elected,
00:36:12.180 the odds of the
00:36:13.060 court being stacked
00:36:14.060 are close to
00:36:15.440 100%.
00:36:16.460 It went from
00:36:18.120 like a wild
00:36:18.900 idea to, yeah,
00:36:19.820 probably.
00:36:21.080 How about
00:36:21.640 getting rid of
00:36:22.240 the electoral
00:36:22.740 college?
00:36:23.720 I don't know
00:36:24.340 what's involved
00:36:24.980 with that.
00:36:25.680 Does that
00:36:26.020 require a
00:36:26.880 constitutional
00:36:27.440 change?
00:36:29.040 But I think
00:36:29.820 they're quite
00:36:30.260 serious about
00:36:30.980 that too.
00:36:32.160 And I don't
00:36:32.600 think that was
00:36:33.140 serious, as
00:36:34.380 serious in
00:36:34.960 prior years.
00:36:36.060 And then
00:36:36.620 here's the
00:36:37.160 most fun part
00:36:38.020 of the
00:36:39.280 bare-knuckled
00:36:40.040 politics that's
00:36:41.040 going on.
00:36:43.120 So Nadler
00:36:45.060 wanted to
00:36:46.760 require these
00:36:48.520 Department of
00:36:49.580 Justice people
00:36:50.120 to come in
00:36:50.620 and testify,
00:36:51.840 and the
00:36:52.400 Department of
00:36:53.000 Justice rejected
00:36:54.880 it.
00:36:55.720 So the
00:36:56.340 Department of
00:36:57.000 Justice
00:36:57.500 publicly rejected
00:36:59.500 Nadler's
00:37:00.260 request for
00:37:00.920 testimony because
00:37:02.260 of the way
00:37:02.840 they treated
00:37:03.340 Bill Barr,
00:37:04.460 and they
00:37:04.820 didn't wait
00:37:06.340 for his
00:37:06.720 answers.
00:37:07.760 So because
00:37:08.260 they didn't
00:37:08.860 let Bill
00:37:09.460 Barr speak,
00:37:11.240 they can
00:37:11.960 completely
00:37:12.940 legitimately
00:37:13.600 say,
00:37:14.960 yeah, if
00:37:15.680 Congress
00:37:16.440 wanted us
00:37:17.060 to testify,
00:37:18.780 like actually
00:37:19.520 give you
00:37:20.020 answers,
00:37:20.980 sure, that
00:37:22.340 would be
00:37:22.800 perfectly
00:37:23.220 appropriate.
00:37:24.240 But now
00:37:24.700 we know,
00:37:25.500 we know with
00:37:26.740 certainty,
00:37:27.500 that that's
00:37:27.940 not the
00:37:28.320 plan because
00:37:29.460 of what you
00:37:29.920 did with
00:37:30.280 Barr.
00:37:31.080 So I think
00:37:31.860 the Department
00:37:32.360 of Justice
00:37:32.820 is on
00:37:33.400 completely
00:37:34.000 firm ground
00:37:34.900 just saying,
00:37:36.340 yes, I
00:37:38.760 would of
00:37:39.120 course comply
00:37:40.280 with a
00:37:41.160 request from
00:37:41.840 Congress to
00:37:42.520 testify if
00:37:43.880 it were a
00:37:44.500 real request,
00:37:45.760 but it's
00:37:46.440 not.
00:37:47.400 They can
00:37:48.080 actually argue
00:37:49.140 that it's
00:37:50.140 just not a
00:37:50.780 real request,
00:37:52.140 and it's a
00:37:52.760 perfectly strong
00:37:53.560 argument because
00:37:54.320 of how they
00:37:55.240 were treated
00:37:55.600 last time.
00:37:56.920 So watching
00:37:57.880 how things
00:37:59.060 that used
00:37:59.700 to be
00:38:00.340 completely
00:38:01.520 unimaginable,
00:38:03.780 you couldn't
00:38:04.380 imagine the
00:38:05.020 Department of
00:38:05.560 Justice saying,
00:38:06.060 no, no,
00:38:07.320 we don't
00:38:07.700 think you'll
00:38:08.100 play fair,
00:38:08.620 so we're
00:38:08.880 just not
00:38:09.200 coming.
00:38:10.200 Just
00:38:10.480 unimaginable,
00:38:11.580 and now
00:38:11.840 it's all
00:38:12.260 imaginable.
00:38:13.500 You can
00:38:13.960 imagine every
00:38:14.560 bit of this
00:38:15.000 happening.
00:38:17.560 My
00:38:18.040 smartest
00:38:19.160 Democrat
00:38:19.620 friend that
00:38:20.660 I talk
00:38:21.020 about all
00:38:21.360 the time
00:38:21.720 because I
00:38:22.140 debate with
00:38:22.820 him on
00:38:23.160 Trump stuff,
00:38:24.520 his latest
00:38:26.120 outrage,
00:38:28.020 and he
00:38:28.620 thought this
00:38:29.080 was just
00:38:29.560 beyond the
00:38:30.260 pale.
00:38:31.240 This was
00:38:31.800 one of the
00:38:32.200 big things
00:38:32.680 that we
00:38:32.980 should be
00:38:33.340 worrying about.
00:38:34.080 if you're
00:38:35.720 looking at
00:38:36.220 the
00:38:36.840 coronavirus
00:38:37.360 or global
00:38:39.640 warming or
00:38:40.560 the economy,
00:38:42.100 those, oh
00:38:42.800 sure, those
00:38:43.340 are important
00:38:43.840 too, but
00:38:45.200 this is the
00:38:45.960 thing, oh,
00:38:46.720 this is the
00:38:47.340 thing, that
00:38:48.460 really, we
00:38:49.500 need to focus
00:38:50.140 on this, and
00:38:51.660 it was that
00:38:53.140 Trump doubted
00:38:54.320 that Ginsburg's
00:38:55.720 dying wish was
00:38:57.340 exactly as
00:38:58.200 stated.
00:38:58.500 that's it.
00:39:00.840 That was an
00:39:01.700 outrage.
00:39:02.720 It was an
00:39:03.300 outrage that
00:39:04.020 President Trump
00:39:04.820 would doubt
00:39:05.580 the veracity
00:39:06.520 of Ginsburg's
00:39:08.640 final wish that
00:39:09.840 she be replaced
00:39:10.840 by the next
00:39:11.380 president.
00:39:12.420 Now, first
00:39:13.440 of all, every
00:39:14.900 one of you
00:39:15.520 doubted that.
00:39:17.120 Every one of
00:39:18.320 you, the
00:39:19.020 moment you
00:39:19.580 heard the
00:39:20.860 words of
00:39:21.980 her final
00:39:23.660 deathbed
00:39:24.240 request, the
00:39:25.640 moment you
00:39:26.360 heard it, be
00:39:27.840 honest, you
00:39:29.080 said to
00:39:29.480 yourself, I'm
00:39:30.820 not so sure.
00:39:33.200 Maybe.
00:39:34.360 It could be.
00:39:35.660 I'm not saying
00:39:36.580 it didn't
00:39:37.140 happen, but
00:39:38.720 I'm a little
00:39:39.520 bit skeptical
00:39:40.260 that it's a
00:39:40.980 little bit too
00:39:41.720 much on the
00:39:42.400 nose, if you
00:39:43.100 know what I
00:39:43.520 mean.
00:39:45.240 And anyway,
00:39:47.240 the reason I
00:39:47.680 point this out
00:39:48.260 is that if
00:39:49.580 you start with
00:39:50.780 what are the
00:39:51.240 most important
00:39:51.980 things that you
00:39:52.780 hate Trump
00:39:53.320 for if you're
00:39:54.000 a Trump
00:39:54.300 hater, and
00:39:55.460 you debunk
00:39:56.620 them, you
00:39:57.820 end up
00:39:58.300 down with
00:39:59.420 little stuff
00:40:00.020 like this,
00:40:00.860 well, but
00:40:01.600 what about
00:40:02.060 that tweet?
00:40:03.440 How about
00:40:03.880 that?
00:40:04.780 What about
00:40:05.200 that tweet?
00:40:06.560 That's it.
00:40:07.880 I mean, that
00:40:08.260 really reveals
00:40:09.260 that what's
00:40:10.020 going on is
00:40:10.800 like an
00:40:11.180 emotional
00:40:11.800 response to
00:40:13.380 the president.
00:40:14.000 It has
00:40:14.100 nothing to do
00:40:14.880 with his
00:40:15.200 policies, has
00:40:16.460 nothing to do
00:40:17.160 with what he
00:40:17.440 does or
00:40:17.960 doesn't do,
00:40:18.940 has nothing to
00:40:19.720 do with his
00:40:20.160 priorities.
00:40:21.200 They just
00:40:21.720 don't like
00:40:22.280 this guy.
00:40:23.840 And it comes
00:40:24.680 out in a lot
00:40:25.240 of different
00:40:25.560 ways.
00:40:25.860 All right.
00:40:30.580 Well, what
00:40:31.460 else is going
00:40:32.000 on?
00:40:35.920 Did you see
00:40:36.960 that Joel
00:40:38.180 Pollack pointed
00:40:39.020 out in a
00:40:39.700 tweet that
00:40:41.120 Biden was
00:40:42.200 wearing his
00:40:42.840 mask for a
00:40:44.340 Zoom interview?
00:40:45.900 That's right.
00:40:46.820 He was all
00:40:47.420 alone on a
00:40:49.900 Zoom call, and
00:40:51.280 he wore his
00:40:51.820 mask the entire
00:40:52.740 time.
00:40:54.160 Now, what's
00:40:55.520 that mean?
00:40:56.540 Does it mean
00:40:57.100 he's trying to
00:40:57.700 be a good
00:40:58.240 role model?
00:41:00.200 So, thanks
00:41:01.680 to Joe
00:41:02.220 Biden, would
00:41:03.500 you be more
00:41:04.180 likely to wear
00:41:05.000 your mask during
00:41:06.020 a Zoom call?
00:41:07.180 Because he
00:41:07.800 did.
00:41:08.500 Because that's
00:41:08.960 how it works,
00:41:09.520 right?
00:41:10.000 You see
00:41:10.620 somebody like
00:41:11.240 Biden or
00:41:11.880 Trump, depending
00:41:12.880 on who you
00:41:13.440 imagine is your
00:41:14.320 role model, and
00:41:15.420 then you sort
00:41:15.900 of copy them.
00:41:16.820 That's what I've
00:41:17.300 been told.
00:41:18.800 So, would
00:41:19.700 we not expect
00:41:20.460 to see lots of
00:41:21.200 Democrats wearing
00:41:22.120 a face mask
00:41:23.020 all alone
00:41:24.420 on a Zoom
00:41:25.900 call, right?
00:41:29.200 So, but,
00:41:31.940 let me suggest
00:41:33.720 there might be
00:41:35.480 at least one
00:41:36.240 other reason he
00:41:37.000 might wear a
00:41:37.620 mask all by
00:41:39.080 himself on a
00:41:39.900 Zoom call.
00:41:41.140 Did you see
00:41:41.720 his little
00:41:43.340 speech yesterday?
00:41:45.500 He looked
00:41:46.440 so sick
00:41:48.220 and weak
00:41:49.560 when he
00:41:50.840 went up to
00:41:51.400 give his
00:41:51.740 speech yesterday
00:41:52.440 live?
00:41:53.080 Not the
00:41:53.740 Zoom call,
00:41:54.340 but when he
00:41:54.700 gave a, I
00:41:55.960 guess there
00:41:56.320 must have
00:41:56.960 been a few
00:41:57.320 people there.
00:41:58.940 He seemed
00:41:59.780 very sickly
00:42:00.680 and weak,
00:42:01.860 but he also
00:42:02.640 coughed, and
00:42:04.660 he also wore
00:42:05.440 his mask,
00:42:06.260 although he
00:42:06.760 was quite a
00:42:07.440 ways away
00:42:07.880 from the
00:42:08.260 people he
00:42:08.640 was talking
00:42:09.100 to.
00:42:10.440 Now, you
00:42:12.940 know this
00:42:13.440 simulation has
00:42:15.980 the obvious
00:42:17.300 trick waiting.
00:42:18.640 saying, if
00:42:19.420 you were a
00:42:19.860 bad script
00:42:20.620 writer and
00:42:21.260 you were
00:42:21.480 going to
00:42:21.700 write,
00:42:22.480 all right,
00:42:23.100 what happens
00:42:23.780 next in
00:42:24.520 this movie
00:42:25.240 that we're
00:42:25.760 watching called
00:42:26.540 Life, of
00:42:27.980 course you
00:42:29.040 would give
00:42:29.500 Biden
00:42:29.920 coronavirus.
00:42:31.460 Is there
00:42:31.960 any doubt
00:42:32.700 that if you
00:42:34.260 were the
00:42:34.580 writer of
00:42:35.180 this simulation,
00:42:36.980 you would
00:42:37.440 give Biden
00:42:38.560 coronavirus?
00:42:39.900 Now, as a
00:42:41.280 human being, I
00:42:42.180 hope he does
00:42:42.720 not get it.
00:42:44.220 I don't want
00:42:44.960 anybody to get
00:42:45.640 the coronavirus.
00:42:46.760 I would not
00:42:47.500 be happy if
00:42:48.840 Joe Biden gets
00:42:49.520 the coronavirus
00:42:49.980 because he
00:42:50.460 would be
00:42:50.720 seriously at
00:42:51.480 risk.
00:42:52.260 He would be
00:42:52.680 more at risk
00:42:53.360 than the
00:42:53.680 average person
00:42:54.300 because of
00:42:54.660 age.
00:42:55.560 So, let me
00:42:56.660 be clear,
00:42:57.660 there would
00:42:58.080 be nothing
00:42:58.640 funny about
00:42:59.380 this.
00:43:00.300 If somebody
00:43:00.960 his age gets
00:43:01.780 the coronavirus,
00:43:02.720 that is deadly
00:43:03.440 serious, doesn't
00:43:04.620 matter who it
00:43:05.060 is, right?
00:43:05.620 So we're going
00:43:06.040 to take that
00:43:06.400 seriously.
00:43:07.500 But, you
00:43:08.940 know the
00:43:10.260 simulation wants
00:43:11.260 to give him
00:43:11.800 coronavirus.
00:43:12.300 because it's
00:43:13.840 just the way
00:43:14.420 the story
00:43:14.980 works best.
00:43:17.800 You know,
00:43:18.080 tragic as it
00:43:18.920 would be.
00:43:20.480 It would be
00:43:21.240 the way to
00:43:21.660 get Kamala
00:43:22.420 in there
00:43:22.900 gracefully,
00:43:24.260 et cetera.
00:43:25.240 But, let's
00:43:26.300 hope that
00:43:26.620 doesn't happen.
00:43:27.960 But, man,
00:43:29.180 the hints.
00:43:30.740 The hints
00:43:31.880 are incredible.
00:43:33.440 Oh, true
00:43:34.140 story.
00:43:36.080 I was
00:43:37.040 talking to
00:43:38.020 my doctor
00:43:38.440 about some
00:43:38.940 blood pressure
00:43:39.780 meds.
00:43:41.180 So I'm
00:43:41.720 testing some
00:43:42.660 meds for my
00:43:43.900 blood pressure.
00:43:44.640 I'm at that
00:43:45.080 age.
00:43:45.980 It's genetic
00:43:46.880 in my case.
00:43:47.660 My lifestyle
00:43:48.180 is sort of
00:43:49.120 perfectly suited
00:43:50.140 for not
00:43:51.460 getting high
00:43:51.940 blood pressure.
00:43:53.300 But it's
00:43:54.280 genetic, so
00:43:55.080 it caught up
00:43:56.420 to me.
00:43:57.220 And one of
00:43:57.920 the choices
00:43:58.680 for blood
00:43:59.300 pressure meds
00:43:59.960 is that there's
00:44:00.780 one of them
00:44:01.240 that works
00:44:01.640 really well,
00:44:02.460 but has a
00:44:03.160 weird side
00:44:03.680 effect, which
00:44:04.760 is it can
00:44:05.280 give you a
00:44:05.780 dry cough.
00:44:07.620 And my
00:44:08.240 doctor's
00:44:08.740 explaining,
00:44:09.380 well, there's
00:44:10.000 this one that
00:44:10.740 does this,
00:44:11.460 and there's
00:44:12.160 this one, but
00:44:12.880 the downside is
00:44:13.860 it'll give you
00:44:14.320 a dry cough.
00:44:15.660 And I'm like,
00:44:16.280 stop.
00:44:17.820 Let's never
00:44:18.560 talk about that
00:44:19.300 one again.
00:44:20.500 Because if there
00:44:21.680 ever was a
00:44:22.420 time to not
00:44:24.080 take a medicine
00:44:24.840 that gives you
00:44:25.780 a dry cough,
00:44:26.960 it would be
00:44:27.800 right now.
00:44:28.380 because I
00:44:30.120 would rather
00:44:30.540 die of a
00:44:31.040 heart attack
00:44:31.600 than walk
00:44:32.640 around in
00:44:33.100 public with
00:44:34.260 a dry cough
00:44:35.140 during the
00:44:35.840 coronavirus
00:44:36.240 pandemic.
00:44:37.380 I don't
00:44:38.000 need that.
00:44:39.000 So give me
00:44:39.780 anything else
00:44:40.900 that doesn't
00:44:41.720 cause a dry
00:44:42.540 cough.
00:44:43.940 So it could
00:44:44.840 be that,
00:44:45.440 you know,
00:44:46.080 Biden is on
00:44:47.000 some meds to
00:44:47.700 give him a
00:44:48.080 dry cough,
00:44:48.800 or it was
00:44:49.800 just an
00:44:50.180 ordinary cough.
00:44:51.900 But it
00:44:52.320 certainly makes
00:44:53.720 us look.
00:44:55.560 Let's talk
00:44:56.320 about all
00:44:56.740 of the
00:44:57.100 hoaxes.
00:45:00.360 Did you see
00:45:00.880 the hoax?
00:45:01.840 I'll call it
00:45:02.640 a hoax.
00:45:03.700 It's fake
00:45:04.800 news, let's
00:45:05.460 call it.
00:45:06.320 There was a
00:45:06.880 report that
00:45:07.560 the Nashville
00:45:08.440 mayor's office
00:45:09.640 was trying
00:45:10.940 to keep
00:45:13.740 a secret
00:45:14.340 that the
00:45:15.820 opening of
00:45:16.560 the bars
00:45:17.060 did not
00:45:18.220 cause much
00:45:19.220 extra
00:45:19.680 infection.
00:45:21.000 It turns
00:45:21.400 out that
00:45:21.860 that was
00:45:22.160 never true,
00:45:23.180 that this
00:45:23.520 was public
00:45:24.160 knowledge,
00:45:25.140 and the
00:45:26.500 story as
00:45:27.380 reported,
00:45:28.240 I think
00:45:28.560 Fox News
00:45:29.240 reported it
00:45:29.860 a few
00:45:30.060 times,
00:45:30.860 just wasn't
00:45:32.080 true.
00:45:33.300 Now,
00:45:34.260 a lot of
00:45:34.760 people sent
00:45:35.300 me that
00:45:35.660 story and
00:45:36.340 said,
00:45:37.140 Scott,
00:45:37.560 look at
00:45:37.800 this,
00:45:38.620 Nashville,
00:45:39.640 Nashville is
00:45:40.320 hiding the
00:45:40.880 fact that
00:45:42.060 opening the
00:45:42.560 bars didn't
00:45:43.140 make any
00:45:43.540 difference to
00:45:44.220 infection or
00:45:44.860 very little
00:45:45.340 difference.
00:45:45.720 I saw
00:45:47.000 that and
00:45:47.440 I said
00:45:47.760 to myself,
00:45:49.140 I'm going
00:45:49.840 to wait.
00:45:51.540 I'm going
00:45:52.180 to wait on
00:45:52.900 this.
00:45:53.700 Do you
00:45:53.920 know why?
00:45:55.880 Because it
00:45:56.600 didn't look
00:45:57.140 real to me.
00:45:58.480 Do you know
00:45:58.940 why it didn't
00:45:59.520 look real?
00:46:00.460 It was lacking
00:46:01.600 context and it
00:46:03.060 was a little
00:46:03.480 bit too on
00:46:04.600 the nose.
00:46:05.960 If you see
00:46:06.780 those two
00:46:07.400 things,
00:46:08.480 hey, I
00:46:09.120 don't see the
00:46:10.100 full context
00:46:11.020 and it's a
00:46:12.960 little too
00:46:13.320 perfect,
00:46:14.040 a little too
00:46:14.540 perfect, you
00:46:16.260 should wait.
00:46:17.740 So I'm
00:46:19.340 going to pat
00:46:19.720 myself on
00:46:20.260 the back
00:46:20.780 because the
00:46:21.760 moment I
00:46:22.260 saw that
00:46:22.680 story, I
00:46:23.240 said, I
00:46:25.440 don't know
00:46:25.920 if I trust
00:46:26.660 that one.
00:46:27.700 That's got
00:46:28.200 those two
00:46:28.820 tells, not
00:46:30.120 enough context
00:46:31.040 and it's a
00:46:32.720 little too
00:46:33.120 perfect.
00:46:34.040 So I
00:46:34.560 waited and
00:46:35.940 sure enough,
00:46:36.340 it turned out
00:46:36.800 not to be
00:46:37.440 true because
00:46:39.380 that information
00:46:40.280 had already
00:46:40.760 been public,
00:46:41.360 I guess.
00:46:42.200 So I bet
00:46:42.620 it was
00:46:42.940 withdrawn by
00:46:43.840 the local
00:46:44.620 news group
00:46:45.420 that put
00:46:45.720 it out.
00:46:46.700 All right,
00:46:47.040 here's two
00:46:47.620 more Biden
00:46:48.940 hoaxes.
00:46:50.440 Did you
00:46:50.700 see the
00:46:51.060 video in
00:46:51.780 which Biden
00:46:52.520 appeared to
00:46:54.080 forget the
00:46:54.840 words of
00:46:55.500 the Pledge of
00:46:56.560 Allegiance?
00:46:57.220 Did you see
00:46:57.600 that on
00:46:58.020 Twitter?
00:46:59.280 A lot of
00:46:59.900 people were
00:47:00.220 tweeting around,
00:47:00.940 it looked like
00:47:01.480 Biden started
00:47:02.780 the Pledge of
00:47:03.380 Allegiance and
00:47:04.080 then forgot
00:47:04.680 the words and
00:47:05.540 then changed
00:47:06.080 the subject.
00:47:08.320 That was
00:47:09.040 just fake
00:47:09.540 news, just
00:47:10.980 a hoax.
00:47:12.940 What you
00:47:14.060 thought happened
00:47:14.820 didn't happen.
00:47:16.340 He was
00:47:16.780 talking about
00:47:17.560 the first few
00:47:18.740 words of the
00:47:19.280 Pledge of
00:47:19.640 Allegiance, but
00:47:20.780 that's all he
00:47:21.360 was doing.
00:47:22.300 He was just
00:47:22.960 talking about
00:47:23.620 the first
00:47:24.100 words of the
00:47:24.820 Pledge of
00:47:25.180 Allegiance and
00:47:26.140 then he made
00:47:26.600 a point about
00:47:27.200 that.
00:47:27.980 That's it.
00:47:28.960 He never
00:47:29.440 forgot the
00:47:30.000 words to the
00:47:30.580 Pledge of
00:47:30.940 Allegiance, it
00:47:31.720 just didn't
00:47:32.140 happen.
00:47:33.040 It's the same
00:47:33.660 way they make
00:47:34.200 fake news about
00:47:34.920 President Trump,
00:47:36.200 you just
00:47:36.660 truncate the
00:47:37.720 news so that
00:47:38.500 you can't tell
00:47:39.000 what the
00:47:39.260 context was.
00:47:40.940 Then the
00:47:43.040 other fake
00:47:44.700 news, this
00:47:45.720 one is still
00:47:46.200 going around
00:47:46.780 by the way,
00:47:47.360 most of you
00:47:47.880 think this is
00:47:48.480 real, this is
00:47:49.320 obvious fake
00:47:49.940 news.
00:47:52.040 He was doing
00:47:52.820 an interview
00:47:53.460 with a
00:47:53.880 Telemundo
00:47:54.340 guy, so
00:47:55.020 he's in
00:47:55.340 the room,
00:47:56.480 Telemundo
00:47:56.940 guy is here,
00:47:58.240 but Biden
00:47:58.840 apparently was
00:47:59.860 reading what
00:48:01.020 people thought
00:48:02.020 was his
00:48:03.140 answers to
00:48:03.880 the questions
00:48:04.420 off a
00:48:05.220 teleprompter
00:48:05.860 and in
00:48:06.820 fact he
00:48:07.540 gave it
00:48:08.560 away by
00:48:09.000 saying, he
00:48:10.740 said, I
00:48:11.160 lost that
00:48:11.720 last line.
00:48:13.160 So Biden,
00:48:14.000 instead of
00:48:14.460 looking at
00:48:14.920 the interviewer,
00:48:15.840 he's looking
00:48:16.320 to the
00:48:16.700 side and
00:48:18.000 he's answering
00:48:18.520 the question
00:48:18.980 and he
00:48:19.160 goes, I
00:48:19.780 lost that
00:48:20.640 last line.
00:48:22.420 So the
00:48:23.000 fake news,
00:48:24.280 the hoax,
00:48:25.280 is that his
00:48:25.960 answers were
00:48:26.760 on a
00:48:27.060 teleprompter,
00:48:28.140 the teleprompter
00:48:29.040 got out of
00:48:29.800 whack and
00:48:31.120 he was telling
00:48:31.740 the teleprompter
00:48:32.580 person to put
00:48:34.220 his answer
00:48:34.760 back there
00:48:35.300 because he
00:48:36.140 was so
00:48:36.480 incompetent that
00:48:37.500 he needed to
00:48:38.060 read his
00:48:38.640 answers.
00:48:39.660 And then
00:48:39.900 the interviewer
00:48:42.400 said, Jose
00:48:43.360 said, we
00:48:46.220 can talk
00:48:46.760 you and
00:48:47.120 I on
00:48:47.500 that.
00:48:47.980 So he
00:48:48.360 told Biden
00:48:49.020 to talk
00:48:50.200 to him.
00:48:51.180 He says, we
00:48:51.900 can talk you
00:48:52.560 and I on
00:48:53.020 that.
00:48:53.960 Here's what
00:48:54.640 actually happened
00:48:55.600 if you see
00:48:56.480 the larger
00:48:56.960 context.
00:48:58.240 The screen
00:48:58.760 was not a
00:48:59.620 teleprompter.
00:49:00.500 The screen
00:49:01.040 was a
00:49:02.560 citizen asking
00:49:03.560 a question.
00:49:05.060 And so he
00:49:05.760 was looking at
00:49:06.320 the citizen
00:49:06.840 asking a
00:49:07.500 question on
00:49:08.060 the other
00:49:08.400 screen instead
00:49:09.620 of looking at
00:49:10.220 the interviewer
00:49:10.960 because that's
00:49:12.300 what he's
00:49:12.560 supposed to
00:49:12.940 do.
00:49:13.520 There's
00:49:13.740 somebody on
00:49:14.180 the screen
00:49:14.560 asking him
00:49:15.120 a question.
00:49:15.600 So he
00:49:15.800 looked at
00:49:16.160 it.
00:49:17.100 That's the
00:49:17.700 first part.
00:49:18.760 Secondly, it
00:49:20.280 looks to me
00:49:21.100 that the
00:49:21.560 context was,
00:49:22.840 and I might
00:49:23.240 have this
00:49:23.600 wrong, but
00:49:24.620 certainly the
00:49:26.040 major part of
00:49:26.700 it I have
00:49:27.020 right, it
00:49:27.980 looked to me
00:49:28.460 like maybe he
00:49:29.300 missed the
00:49:30.160 question when
00:49:31.140 he said,
00:49:32.040 what was the
00:49:33.180 last line or
00:49:33.880 I missed the
00:49:34.300 last line.
00:49:34.880 It was the
00:49:35.720 last line of
00:49:36.320 the question.
00:49:37.620 It wasn't the
00:49:38.180 last line of
00:49:38.940 his alleged
00:49:39.440 answer that's
00:49:40.220 written on a
00:49:40.700 teleprompter.
00:49:41.840 Complete fake
00:49:42.620 news, right?
00:49:43.620 Now, the
00:49:44.280 reason that I
00:49:44.820 point out all
00:49:45.760 of these fake
00:49:46.460 news is that
00:49:47.760 these were
00:49:48.260 fakes on the
00:49:49.080 conservative
00:49:49.500 side.
00:49:50.600 These are
00:49:51.680 conservatives
00:49:52.800 hoaxing
00:49:53.660 themselves,
00:49:54.640 basically,
00:49:56.280 because all
00:49:56.860 of these came
00:49:57.440 from conservatives.
00:49:58.820 They hoaxed
00:49:59.660 themselves and
00:50:00.880 tried to hoax
00:50:01.500 other people at
00:50:02.200 the same time.
00:50:02.820 those are
00:50:04.160 three pretty
00:50:04.820 big hoaxes.
00:50:06.440 All right?
00:50:07.000 Three pretty
00:50:07.800 big hoaxes.
00:50:09.360 And if you
00:50:10.380 didn't notice
00:50:11.580 them immediately,
00:50:13.020 you need to
00:50:13.960 tune your
00:50:14.940 filter.
00:50:16.400 I would say
00:50:17.260 that all of
00:50:20.420 these were
00:50:20.800 obvious to me.
00:50:22.660 From the
00:50:23.640 first moment
00:50:24.460 any of those
00:50:25.300 three fake
00:50:26.160 news has
00:50:26.600 happened, as
00:50:27.300 soon as I
00:50:27.680 saw them, I
00:50:28.200 said, well,
00:50:29.080 that's not
00:50:29.600 buying that.
00:50:31.760 somebody's
00:50:35.940 saying in
00:50:36.260 the comments,
00:50:36.880 you said
00:50:37.300 this was
00:50:37.840 fair game.
00:50:38.980 It's totally
00:50:39.720 fair.
00:50:40.760 Yeah.
00:50:41.440 It's fake
00:50:42.200 news, but
00:50:44.340 somebody said,
00:50:45.060 hey, you
00:50:45.440 said it was
00:50:45.820 fair because
00:50:46.460 the other
00:50:46.900 side is
00:50:47.280 lying.
00:50:47.720 Yeah, it
00:50:48.060 is.
00:50:48.700 It is
00:50:49.240 completely
00:50:49.640 fair, but
00:50:50.840 I don't
00:50:51.080 want you to
00:50:51.680 be fooled.
00:50:53.400 Right?
00:50:54.340 I don't
00:50:54.960 want you to
00:50:55.540 be fooled.
00:50:56.720 I want you
00:50:57.360 to have
00:50:57.680 actual useful
00:50:58.580 information that
00:51:00.100 informs your
00:51:00.940 world, but
00:51:01.960 yeah, it's
00:51:02.360 totally fair.
00:51:03.480 We are in
00:51:04.120 a contest
00:51:04.720 where lying
00:51:06.020 is the
00:51:06.620 rules.
00:51:07.940 Lying does
00:51:08.480 not break
00:51:09.080 the rules.
00:51:10.420 Lying is
00:51:10.940 the game.
00:51:12.200 That's what a
00:51:13.020 political ad
00:51:13.680 is.
00:51:13.940 It's a bunch
00:51:14.320 of lies.
00:51:15.420 If you
00:51:15.840 imagine that
00:51:16.460 it's even
00:51:16.880 trying to
00:51:17.360 be the
00:51:17.660 truth, you
00:51:18.220 don't
00:51:18.420 understand
00:51:18.840 it.
00:51:21.920 George
00:51:22.400 Papadopoulos
00:51:23.460 tweeted
00:51:24.040 this.
00:51:24.580 He said
00:51:24.940 this drive
00:51:26.200 to combat
00:51:26.760 human
00:51:27.200 trafficking
00:51:27.760 out of
00:51:28.140 the DOJ
00:51:28.880 should be
00:51:30.120 nationally
00:51:30.760 and globally
00:51:31.700 applauded.
00:51:32.820 This is a
00:51:33.280 serious issue.
00:51:35.200 One of
00:51:36.000 my
00:51:36.380 subscribers
00:51:38.060 on Locals,
00:51:39.360 Locals is
00:51:40.080 the platform
00:51:40.700 that I do
00:51:41.940 some of the
00:51:42.380 stuff that I
00:51:42.900 don't do in
00:51:43.360 public, the
00:51:44.420 edgier stuff,
00:51:45.700 and other
00:51:46.220 content that
00:51:47.340 I do a lot
00:51:48.200 of micro
00:51:48.620 lessons on
00:51:49.360 success and
00:51:50.920 persuasion,
00:51:51.800 et cetera,
00:51:52.140 over there.
00:51:53.580 Somebody on
00:51:54.340 Locals,
00:51:55.280 and that's a
00:51:56.180 subscription site,
00:51:57.360 Locals.com,
00:51:58.400 if you're
00:51:58.640 looking for it,
00:51:59.240 said that
00:52:01.500 I'm not
00:52:01.920 doing enough
00:52:02.600 talking about
00:52:03.580 what the
00:52:05.100 government is
00:52:05.660 doing battling
00:52:06.320 trafficking and
00:52:07.640 child, I
00:52:09.360 guess, child
00:52:09.820 trafficking and
00:52:10.560 sex trafficking,
00:52:11.440 et cetera.
00:52:12.180 And I agree
00:52:13.280 with that.
00:52:14.100 And for some
00:52:15.080 reason, it's not
00:52:15.780 making as much
00:52:17.080 news as you
00:52:18.080 think it should,
00:52:19.580 as George
00:52:20.680 Papadopoulos points
00:52:21.660 out.
00:52:22.820 And so
00:52:23.920 Ivanka Trump
00:52:25.100 tweeted that
00:52:26.060 AG Barr and
00:52:28.060 Ivanka announced
00:52:29.980 the largest
00:52:30.480 investment for
00:52:31.520 trafficking support
00:52:32.620 services in
00:52:33.380 U.S.
00:52:33.740 history, over
00:52:34.320 $100 million in
00:52:35.200 grants.
00:52:36.320 So this is
00:52:37.680 one of those
00:52:38.280 things that the
00:52:39.120 president is not
00:52:40.040 getting nearly
00:52:40.780 enough credit
00:52:42.120 for.
00:52:42.880 This is one of
00:52:43.520 the best things
00:52:44.400 a president ever
00:52:45.240 did.
00:52:46.120 He's just
00:52:46.520 going totally
00:52:48.220 Viking on
00:52:50.300 these fucking,
00:52:51.160 I'm sorry,
00:52:51.660 didn't mean to
00:52:54.340 swear.
00:52:55.280 The president
00:52:56.180 is going
00:52:56.960 barbaric on
00:52:58.320 the traffickers.
00:52:59.600 And it looks
00:53:00.360 like they're just
00:53:00.920 pulling out all
00:53:01.560 the stops.
00:53:02.840 It looks like
00:53:03.520 they've decided,
00:53:05.160 like ISIS,
00:53:06.800 to me,
00:53:07.940 to me it looks
00:53:09.040 like what the
00:53:09.940 president is doing
00:53:10.880 for the sex
00:53:12.100 trafficking is
00:53:13.360 very similar to
00:53:14.480 what he did to
00:53:15.040 ISIS, which
00:53:16.280 is this.
00:53:18.200 What do we
00:53:18.780 need to do to
00:53:19.900 defeat ISIS?
00:53:21.660 Okay, now
00:53:23.220 we'll do it.
00:53:24.560 Right?
00:53:25.740 That's how
00:53:26.380 President Trump
00:53:27.800 defeated ISIS.
00:53:29.200 Tell me what we
00:53:29.880 need to do.
00:53:30.620 Okay, that's what
00:53:31.220 we need to do.
00:53:32.200 Okay, these are
00:53:33.800 your orders.
00:53:34.880 Do that.
00:53:36.800 I'm simplifying,
00:53:37.700 but that's basically
00:53:38.340 what it is.
00:53:39.420 With this
00:53:39.880 trafficking, it
00:53:40.620 looks like the
00:53:41.140 same thing.
00:53:42.040 Okay, what do
00:53:42.740 we need to do
00:53:43.460 to stop all this
00:53:44.720 trafficking, or at
00:53:45.560 least put a big
00:53:46.320 dent in it?
00:53:47.180 What do we need
00:53:47.740 to do?
00:53:48.020 Okay, that's what
00:53:49.220 we need to do.
00:53:50.460 I order you to
00:53:51.340 do that.
00:53:52.840 I don't know if
00:53:53.840 it's harder than
00:53:54.440 that, because it
00:53:55.600 seems to me that
00:53:56.420 the Department of
00:53:57.340 Justice probably
00:53:58.600 knew what to
00:53:59.480 do.
00:54:00.340 They just needed
00:54:01.380 the order and
00:54:02.220 the money and
00:54:02.980 the support,
00:54:04.680 same as the
00:54:05.440 military fighting
00:54:06.360 ISIS.
00:54:07.980 It's a gigantic
00:54:09.080 accomplishment, very
00:54:10.720 underappreciated.
00:54:11.640 state.
00:54:15.020 The Department, every
00:54:17.620 time I read news
00:54:18.500 about my own
00:54:19.260 state, California,
00:54:21.060 it makes me laugh
00:54:22.280 because it's so
00:54:23.020 stupid.
00:54:25.220 The things that
00:54:26.240 we do in this
00:54:26.900 state are just
00:54:28.020 beyond parity
00:54:29.060 at this point.
00:54:30.500 So you know
00:54:31.080 that the
00:54:31.740 president said
00:54:32.540 he would
00:54:33.540 maybe reduce
00:54:35.840 federal funding
00:54:37.320 for states
00:54:39.100 that were
00:54:39.740 trying to
00:54:40.880 push the
00:54:41.500 1619
00:54:42.900 curriculum,
00:54:44.260 the anti-racist
00:54:46.180 curriculum that
00:54:47.460 in fact is
00:54:48.320 racist.
00:54:49.760 So the
00:54:50.380 California
00:54:50.760 Department of
00:54:51.340 Education,
00:54:51.760 they decided
00:54:53.820 to develop the
00:54:54.800 nation's first
00:54:55.820 statewide ethnic
00:54:57.520 studies curriculum.
00:54:58.720 So they're
00:55:00.120 going to make
00:55:00.460 ethnic studies
00:55:01.280 and anti-racism
00:55:03.180 a curriculum.
00:55:05.160 And Governor
00:55:06.020 Newsom is
00:55:06.580 heading it up
00:55:07.260 and blah, blah,
00:55:07.980 blah.
00:55:08.760 And another
00:55:09.760 bill signed
00:55:10.340 by Newsom
00:55:10.920 last month,
00:55:11.980 it would require
00:55:12.980 that all
00:55:13.520 undergraduate
00:55:14.180 students in
00:55:15.260 the California
00:55:15.940 State University
00:55:16.820 system complete
00:55:18.420 an ethnic
00:55:19.100 studies course
00:55:20.100 before graduation.
00:55:21.820 So it will
00:55:22.380 actually be
00:55:23.200 an ethnic
00:55:26.760 studies requirement
00:55:27.960 before graduation.
00:55:30.320 Now, let me
00:55:31.540 suggest a
00:55:32.320 better way to
00:55:32.920 go about
00:55:33.280 this.
00:55:33.680 There's a
00:55:34.160 general
00:55:34.540 principle or
00:55:37.080 rule about
00:55:38.200 the human
00:55:38.740 mind, that
00:55:40.460 whatever it
00:55:41.040 is you focus
00:55:41.760 on becomes
00:55:43.020 the most
00:55:43.620 important thing
00:55:44.300 to you.
00:55:45.220 So if the
00:55:45.740 only thing
00:55:46.280 you talk
00:55:47.500 about and
00:55:47.980 think about
00:55:48.460 is the
00:55:48.840 color red,
00:55:50.260 then everywhere
00:55:51.060 you go you're
00:55:51.740 going to be
00:55:51.960 noticing the
00:55:52.600 color red.
00:55:55.380 You've
00:55:55.940 noticed that
00:55:56.540 if you're in
00:55:57.420 a crowded
00:55:57.840 room and
00:55:58.480 there's
00:55:58.700 background
00:55:59.080 noise and
00:55:59.700 you can't
00:56:00.060 make out
00:56:00.380 any words,
00:56:01.080 but somebody
00:56:03.280 says your
00:56:03.760 name,
00:56:04.640 Scott,
00:56:06.420 you can
00:56:07.400 make out
00:56:07.820 your name
00:56:09.040 out of this
00:56:09.820 cacophony of
00:56:11.300 indistinct sound,
00:56:13.180 your name is
00:56:13.800 really clear.
00:56:15.060 And it's
00:56:15.300 because the
00:56:16.000 human brain
00:56:16.800 tunes itself
00:56:18.120 for whatever
00:56:19.240 you tune it
00:56:19.820 to.
00:56:20.560 That didn't
00:56:21.060 make sense.
00:56:21.740 But you can
00:56:22.160 tune your
00:56:22.560 brain to
00:56:24.100 focus on
00:56:25.040 whatever you
00:56:26.080 want.
00:56:27.000 By creating
00:56:27.920 a curriculum
00:56:28.680 and having
00:56:29.740 Black Lives
00:56:31.420 Matter being
00:56:32.140 a focus of
00:56:32.880 attention and
00:56:34.380 all this
00:56:34.880 focus on
00:56:35.800 the kneeling,
00:56:37.680 etc., we
00:56:39.060 have created
00:56:39.780 a situation
00:56:40.740 where race
00:56:42.080 is the
00:56:42.880 dominant
00:56:43.440 filter in
00:56:44.920 our environment.
00:56:46.260 Is that
00:56:46.940 good?
00:56:47.980 Is it
00:56:48.720 good that
00:56:49.720 we've put
00:56:50.880 front of
00:56:51.580 mind race?
00:56:53.640 Now, you
00:56:55.100 might think,
00:56:55.840 and I would
00:56:56.260 say that most
00:56:57.060 Democrats would
00:56:57.780 say, yeah,
00:56:58.720 that's good.
00:56:59.900 Totally good.
00:57:00.900 Because race is
00:57:01.580 such a big
00:57:02.140 thing.
00:57:02.980 It affects
00:57:03.480 everything all
00:57:04.380 the time.
00:57:05.080 It's everything
00:57:05.500 from employment
00:57:06.860 to fairness
00:57:07.680 to health
00:57:09.120 care.
00:57:09.840 I mean,
00:57:10.060 there's nothing
00:57:11.200 in our
00:57:11.600 environment that
00:57:12.800 doesn't have a
00:57:13.460 racial component
00:57:14.400 and it
00:57:15.260 matters.
00:57:16.300 It matters,
00:57:16.940 right?
00:57:17.320 So yes,
00:57:18.400 yes, we
00:57:18.940 should be
00:57:19.360 focusing on
00:57:20.400 race and
00:57:21.440 ethnicity.
00:57:22.840 But what if
00:57:23.500 we didn't?
00:57:25.480 I'll just put
00:57:26.160 this out here
00:57:26.780 as a what
00:57:28.280 if.
00:57:28.660 What if we
00:57:29.140 didn't?
00:57:30.000 What if we
00:57:30.620 took the
00:57:31.280 following approach
00:57:32.360 instead?
00:57:33.740 What if we
00:57:34.340 said the
00:57:34.820 filter that
00:57:35.560 matters is
00:57:36.540 responsibility?
00:57:38.620 That people
00:57:39.160 who take
00:57:39.660 responsibility
00:57:40.500 for their
00:57:41.740 own life,
00:57:42.460 as well as
00:57:43.240 their community,
00:57:45.080 that people
00:57:45.600 who take
00:57:46.060 responsibility
00:57:46.860 and do it
00:57:47.720 right,
00:57:48.340 they have a
00:57:48.860 strategy that
00:57:49.740 makes sense
00:57:50.320 for taking
00:57:51.220 responsibility,
00:57:52.240 are all on
00:57:53.140 the same
00:57:53.500 team.
00:57:55.180 And anybody
00:57:55.720 who doesn't
00:57:56.300 take responsibility
00:57:57.200 is on the
00:57:57.960 other team.
00:57:59.440 Suppose,
00:58:00.340 and you
00:58:00.740 could even
00:58:01.100 forget about
00:58:01.780 Democrat or
00:58:02.600 Republican.
00:58:03.420 There's nothing
00:58:04.160 about Democrat
00:58:04.920 or Republican
00:58:05.640 in any of
00:58:06.800 this that
00:58:08.440 is relevant.
00:58:10.960 There are
00:58:11.240 responsible
00:58:11.940 Democrats,
00:58:12.780 there are
00:58:13.040 responsible
00:58:13.640 Republicans,
00:58:14.620 and you
00:58:15.000 know who
00:58:15.420 you are,
00:58:16.360 right?
00:58:16.700 you know
00:58:17.660 who you
00:58:18.000 are,
00:58:18.300 and if
00:58:19.020 you as
00:58:19.920 a
00:58:20.040 responsible
00:58:20.620 Republican
00:58:21.660 have a
00:58:23.100 friend who
00:58:23.600 is a
00:58:23.880 responsible
00:58:24.520 Democrat,
00:58:25.300 do you
00:58:25.600 get along?
00:58:26.740 Yeah,
00:58:27.140 you do.
00:58:27.820 You do get
00:58:28.360 along,
00:58:28.900 because you're
00:58:29.760 both responsible.
00:58:31.160 That is the
00:58:32.020 dominant thing
00:58:32.820 that keeps
00:58:33.280 people together.
00:58:34.980 Do I think
00:58:36.020 that black
00:58:36.620 people should
00:58:37.580 organize for
00:58:39.320 political power
00:58:40.460 as a group?
00:58:42.380 That black
00:58:42.900 people should
00:58:43.560 be, you know,
00:58:44.400 we're all
00:58:44.740 together.
00:58:45.380 If you're
00:58:46.000 black, you
00:58:46.560 have a
00:58:46.820 common set
00:58:47.340 of problems,
00:58:48.200 so we
00:58:48.840 black people
00:58:49.440 need to
00:58:49.840 stick together,
00:58:50.820 have some
00:58:51.420 political power,
00:58:52.320 get some
00:58:52.680 stuff done.
00:58:53.880 Well, there
00:58:54.360 was a time
00:58:55.140 in our
00:58:56.200 history that
00:58:56.900 made perfect
00:58:57.680 sense.
00:58:58.700 You know, if
00:58:59.000 you looked at
00:58:59.480 the 60s, for
00:59:00.560 example, civil
00:59:01.300 rights, yeah,
00:59:03.200 yeah, because
00:59:03.880 if you were
00:59:04.340 black, you
00:59:05.740 were discriminated
00:59:07.260 against just
00:59:08.180 for being
00:59:08.580 black, period.
00:59:10.300 You know, so
00:59:11.180 of course,
00:59:12.320 organizing
00:59:12.920 according to
00:59:14.340 that political
00:59:15.040 group, perfect
00:59:16.020 sense, and
00:59:17.280 it worked.
00:59:18.500 Organizing
00:59:19.020 as, you
00:59:21.320 know, a
00:59:21.800 group of
00:59:22.300 black people
00:59:23.060 and getting
00:59:23.560 a lot of
00:59:24.000 support from
00:59:24.580 other people,
00:59:25.540 very successful.
00:59:26.700 Now, fast
00:59:27.160 forward to
00:59:27.700 2020.
00:59:30.320 When you
00:59:30.960 look at the
00:59:31.400 people who
00:59:31.840 are getting
00:59:32.160 stopped by
00:59:32.720 police, and
00:59:33.800 they resist
00:59:34.420 arrest, and
00:59:35.740 they get
00:59:36.320 murdered, or
00:59:38.900 killed, let's
00:59:39.800 say not
00:59:40.160 murdered, let's
00:59:40.720 say killed,
00:59:41.380 keep it less
00:59:42.380 political, they
00:59:44.220 get killed by
00:59:44.760 police.
00:59:45.680 If you
00:59:46.280 are a
00:59:46.960 successful
00:59:47.640 professional
00:59:48.540 black person
00:59:50.180 in the
00:59:50.580 United States,
00:59:52.220 do you
00:59:53.280 want to
00:59:53.660 say, I'm
00:59:54.360 going to
00:59:54.540 throw in
00:59:54.980 with that
00:59:55.360 guy?
00:59:56.400 Because I've
00:59:57.160 got a lot
00:59:57.600 in common
00:59:58.100 with that
00:59:59.180 criminal who
01:00:00.220 just resisted
01:00:01.040 arrest as a
01:00:02.260 lengthy record
01:00:04.160 of crime, and
01:00:06.020 got killed by
01:00:06.700 the police.
01:00:07.360 That's the
01:00:08.540 team I want
01:00:09.180 to be on,
01:00:09.920 because we
01:00:10.200 got to stick
01:00:11.420 together.
01:00:12.380 Me, who
01:00:13.260 has this
01:00:13.940 responsible
01:00:15.960 life, where
01:00:16.980 I did all
01:00:17.440 the right
01:00:17.760 things, I
01:00:18.320 stayed out of
01:00:18.860 trouble, I
01:00:19.800 worked hard, I
01:00:20.560 made money, I
01:00:21.200 took care of
01:00:21.680 my family.
01:00:22.440 Yeah, I've
01:00:22.900 got a lot in
01:00:23.680 common with
01:00:25.180 that crook who
01:00:27.380 just got killed
01:00:28.920 by the police.
01:00:30.180 No, you
01:00:30.660 don't.
01:00:31.320 You don't.
01:00:34.720 Do you give
01:00:36.360 me permission to
01:00:37.100 swear?
01:00:38.640 Because there
01:00:39.640 are just some
01:00:40.200 statements that
01:00:41.260 require cursing,
01:00:43.880 just requires
01:00:45.540 it.
01:00:46.420 Do you
01:00:46.760 mind?
01:00:47.640 I give you a
01:00:49.260 little warning
01:00:49.820 to those of
01:00:51.460 you who want
01:00:51.760 to mute it or
01:00:52.500 get somebody
01:00:53.820 out of the
01:00:54.180 room.
01:00:56.520 This makes
01:00:57.260 me crazy,
01:00:58.420 because I
01:00:59.040 think black
01:00:59.640 people in
01:01:00.240 this country
01:01:00.740 are getting
01:01:01.860 fucking screwed.
01:01:04.320 Just screwed.
01:01:05.760 If you're a
01:01:07.220 black person in
01:01:08.040 this country and
01:01:09.060 you've led what
01:01:10.880 I'll call a
01:01:11.540 responsible life,
01:01:13.480 you said to
01:01:14.080 yourself,
01:01:14.580 all right, what
01:01:15.020 would it take
01:01:15.780 for me to
01:01:17.020 have a good
01:01:17.820 life?
01:01:18.180 And then you
01:01:18.580 did those
01:01:19.120 things and
01:01:20.400 you built
01:01:20.840 yourself a
01:01:21.700 good life.
01:01:23.000 Do you know
01:01:23.320 who's fucking
01:01:23.980 it up for
01:01:24.540 you?
01:01:25.400 Black people.
01:01:27.060 Let's be
01:01:27.520 honest.
01:01:28.540 If you lived a
01:01:29.780 responsible life
01:01:30.880 and you're a
01:01:31.340 black citizen and
01:01:32.320 you just did
01:01:33.020 everything right,
01:01:34.140 you're just
01:01:34.520 taking care of
01:01:35.180 your family,
01:01:35.740 you're paying
01:01:36.140 your fucking
01:01:36.780 taxes,
01:01:37.760 you're just
01:01:38.280 being a good
01:01:38.780 person,
01:01:39.380 maybe you're
01:01:39.820 going to
01:01:40.260 church,
01:01:41.380 you're just
01:01:42.220 contributing.
01:01:43.420 You're just
01:01:44.020 fucking
01:01:44.460 contributing.
01:01:46.600 Why are you
01:01:47.500 being dragged
01:01:48.120 down by the
01:01:49.320 fucking assholes
01:01:50.420 who are breaking
01:01:50.980 the law who
01:01:51.940 happen to have
01:01:52.600 the same color
01:01:53.340 as you?
01:01:54.280 Don't be a
01:01:55.660 sucker.
01:01:56.980 Don't be a
01:01:57.720 sucker.
01:01:58.480 You're not on
01:01:59.220 their team.
01:02:00.540 Neither am I.
01:02:01.640 Because you know
01:02:02.120 whose team I'm
01:02:02.800 on?
01:02:03.340 I'm on your
01:02:03.940 team.
01:02:05.180 You're
01:02:05.560 responsible.
01:02:06.860 I don't care
01:02:07.420 what fucking
01:02:08.020 color you are.
01:02:09.360 I don't care
01:02:09.900 how gay you
01:02:10.600 are.
01:02:10.960 I don't care
01:02:11.400 how LGBTQ
01:02:12.280 you are.
01:02:13.760 Don't
01:02:14.200 fucking care.
01:02:15.600 Are you
01:02:16.000 responsible?
01:02:17.580 Are you
01:02:17.900 taking care of
01:02:18.560 yourself or
01:02:19.220 working toward
01:02:19.960 it?
01:02:20.620 That's fine.
01:02:21.320 You don't have
01:02:21.740 to take care of
01:02:22.260 yourself if you're
01:02:23.340 working toward
01:02:23.900 it.
01:02:24.240 You know,
01:02:24.420 you could be a
01:02:24.880 student or
01:02:25.340 whatever.
01:02:26.880 But I'm on
01:02:28.760 the team of
01:02:29.300 responsible people.
01:02:31.040 People who
01:02:31.500 take care of
01:02:31.960 themselves,
01:02:32.600 their family,
01:02:33.100 the people
01:02:35.000 closest to
01:02:35.780 them,
01:02:36.060 and then
01:02:36.300 maybe if
01:02:36.740 they've got
01:02:37.020 a little
01:02:37.240 left over,
01:02:38.280 something for
01:02:38.960 the town,
01:02:40.000 something for
01:02:40.440 the country,
01:02:41.560 something for
01:02:42.040 the world,
01:02:42.480 if you've got
01:02:43.080 a lot left
01:02:43.540 over.
01:02:44.760 But the
01:02:45.980 fact that
01:02:46.900 both white
01:02:47.940 and black
01:02:48.540 people have
01:02:49.820 fucking screwed
01:02:51.320 the black
01:02:52.040 public in
01:02:52.960 this country,
01:02:54.320 I don't know
01:02:54.640 about other
01:02:55.020 countries,
01:02:55.880 but absolutely
01:02:56.920 fucking screwed
01:02:58.280 black people
01:02:58.920 by allowing
01:03:00.240 them,
01:03:01.200 not allowing,
01:03:02.100 but by
01:03:02.700 encouraging,
01:03:03.420 let's say,
01:03:04.140 by encouraging
01:03:04.960 this filter
01:03:06.160 that black
01:03:07.220 people are on
01:03:07.800 the same
01:03:08.160 team,
01:03:08.760 you're not
01:03:09.440 on the same
01:03:10.100 fucking team.
01:03:12.300 And,
01:03:12.780 you know,
01:03:12.980 listen,
01:03:13.240 if you don't
01:03:13.560 want to listen
01:03:13.960 to me on
01:03:14.460 this,
01:03:14.900 listen to
01:03:15.380 Dave Chappelle.
01:03:16.560 He says
01:03:17.020 the same
01:03:17.640 fucking thing,
01:03:19.080 he just says
01:03:19.640 it in his
01:03:20.040 own words.
01:03:20.960 He says
01:03:21.400 he's rich.
01:03:22.480 He's not
01:03:23.080 on your
01:03:23.420 team.
01:03:24.420 He's not.
01:03:25.720 He will be
01:03:26.600 treated like a
01:03:27.400 rich person.
01:03:27.980 O.J.
01:03:28.920 Simpson,
01:03:29.520 he's not
01:03:30.180 on your
01:03:30.500 team.
01:03:31.480 That's a
01:03:32.100 special case.
01:03:33.100 Not exactly
01:03:33.720 a role model.
01:03:35.020 But how
01:03:36.120 about we
01:03:37.080 just stop
01:03:39.800 treating black
01:03:41.180 people like
01:03:41.720 they're all
01:03:42.020 on the same
01:03:42.420 team?
01:03:42.940 Because they're
01:03:43.680 just not.
01:03:44.740 And the
01:03:45.100 worst fucking
01:03:45.720 thing you
01:03:46.160 could do
01:03:46.640 to a
01:03:47.580 responsible
01:03:48.380 black person,
01:03:49.820 which is
01:03:50.200 most people,
01:03:51.200 right?
01:03:51.660 Most people
01:03:52.220 are responsible,
01:03:53.220 just in
01:03:53.680 general.
01:03:54.380 Most people
01:03:54.880 are responsible.
01:03:56.220 The worst
01:03:56.920 thing you
01:03:57.240 could do
01:03:57.620 is say,
01:03:58.080 oh yeah,
01:03:58.660 you're
01:03:58.900 black.
01:04:00.200 Because that
01:04:00.580 just lumped
01:04:01.220 you in with
01:04:01.820 a whole bunch
01:04:02.340 of fucking
01:04:02.800 irresponsible
01:04:03.260 people that
01:04:04.960 are not
01:04:05.440 your fault.
01:04:06.520 It's not
01:04:06.980 your fucking
01:04:07.520 fault if
01:04:08.920 other people
01:04:09.520 are criminals.
01:04:10.240 It's just
01:04:10.660 not your
01:04:11.140 fucking fault.
01:04:12.300 And you
01:04:12.540 should cut
01:04:13.020 yourself off
01:04:13.600 from them
01:04:13.940 and say,
01:04:15.140 let me live
01:04:16.220 with the
01:04:16.500 responsible
01:04:16.960 people.
01:04:17.500 Let the
01:04:17.980 people who
01:04:18.400 don't care
01:04:18.900 about color,
01:04:19.980 don't care
01:04:20.480 about ethnicity,
01:04:21.440 they only care
01:04:22.100 about the
01:04:22.440 Constitution,
01:04:23.640 they care about
01:04:24.280 making the
01:04:24.720 country work,
01:04:25.700 let me deal
01:04:26.240 with these
01:04:26.660 people,
01:04:27.520 because these
01:04:27.960 people are
01:04:28.460 not going
01:04:28.820 to screw
01:04:29.220 me.
01:04:32.340 So the
01:04:34.080 greatest,
01:04:35.080 I would say,
01:04:36.440 persuasion
01:04:37.260 crime in
01:04:38.220 this country
01:04:38.800 is that
01:04:40.180 we've
01:04:41.580 packaged the
01:04:43.820 citizens by
01:04:44.640 color,
01:04:45.760 and to some
01:04:46.420 extent by
01:04:46.960 gender.
01:04:47.340 similar
01:04:48.460 argument there.
01:04:50.760 All right,
01:04:51.380 so that's
01:04:51.880 enough about
01:04:52.340 that.
01:04:55.760 So what
01:04:56.540 you focus
01:04:57.300 on becomes
01:04:57.880 most real,
01:04:58.560 so as long
01:04:59.040 as we're
01:04:59.380 focusing on
01:05:00.500 black versus
01:05:01.740 white instead
01:05:02.680 of responsible
01:05:03.760 versus
01:05:04.300 irresponsible,
01:05:05.440 we will
01:05:05.980 always get
01:05:06.500 the wrong
01:05:06.860 answer.
01:05:08.000 We'll always
01:05:08.860 have the wrong
01:05:09.500 filter if
01:05:10.340 that's where
01:05:10.740 we spend
01:05:11.140 our time.
01:05:11.620 you know,
01:05:14.920 there's
01:05:15.100 a technology
01:05:16.460 that's coming
01:05:17.180 that might
01:05:18.080 help this
01:05:18.860 happen.
01:05:20.340 Let's say
01:05:20.740 you're,
01:05:22.460 oh,
01:05:23.000 this will
01:05:23.240 really get
01:05:23.640 me canceled.
01:05:25.040 You ready?
01:05:26.180 Here's some
01:05:26.680 serious
01:05:27.180 cancellation
01:05:27.780 material.
01:05:28.920 This will
01:05:29.360 be easy to
01:05:30.160 take out of
01:05:30.640 context so
01:05:31.200 they can
01:05:31.480 cancel it.
01:05:32.800 Let's say
01:05:33.500 you were,
01:05:34.640 I'll just
01:05:35.580 keep this,
01:05:37.520 how can I
01:05:38.280 protect myself
01:05:39.080 best?
01:05:39.480 All right,
01:05:39.900 here's what
01:05:40.960 we'll do.
01:05:41.900 You're a
01:05:42.640 young black
01:05:43.680 woman.
01:05:45.080 You're walking
01:05:45.580 down the
01:05:46.040 street,
01:05:46.420 it's at
01:05:46.780 night,
01:05:47.340 it's maybe
01:05:47.840 a neighborhood
01:05:48.560 that's not
01:05:49.060 as safe
01:05:49.480 as it could
01:05:49.940 be,
01:05:50.620 and you
01:05:51.240 see coming
01:05:51.760 toward you
01:05:52.300 three 19-year-old
01:05:55.080 black youths
01:05:56.600 coming the
01:05:57.240 other way.
01:05:57.980 And they're in
01:05:58.400 the distance,
01:05:59.020 so you can't
01:05:59.440 quite make out
01:06:00.020 what's going
01:06:00.440 on,
01:06:01.000 but you can
01:06:01.460 tell that
01:06:01.820 they're black,
01:06:02.480 they're about
01:06:02.800 that age.
01:06:04.000 You're a
01:06:04.380 black woman.
01:06:05.440 I'm just
01:06:05.780 making everybody
01:06:06.360 black in this
01:06:07.080 situation so I
01:06:08.960 don't get
01:06:09.280 canceled.
01:06:10.600 Do you say
01:06:11.420 to yourself,
01:06:12.260 this is just
01:06:13.040 as safe as
01:06:14.540 if I saw
01:06:15.120 three Asian
01:06:16.200 men walking
01:06:17.180 in the same
01:06:17.680 direction?
01:06:18.600 Well,
01:06:19.160 if you say,
01:06:20.380 if I will
01:06:20.940 judge this
01:06:21.500 based on the
01:06:22.160 number of
01:06:22.660 people in
01:06:23.180 this category
01:06:23.920 who have
01:06:25.540 been jailed,
01:06:27.260 suddenly you
01:06:28.240 end up acting
01:06:28.860 like a racist
01:06:29.540 and it's your
01:06:30.140 own race.
01:06:31.260 Because you're
01:06:31.640 saying,
01:06:31.920 eh,
01:06:32.760 19-year-old
01:06:33.760 males who
01:06:35.460 are black,
01:06:36.540 what percentage
01:06:37.840 of them have
01:06:38.360 a criminal
01:06:38.760 record,
01:06:39.600 unfortunately,
01:06:40.520 it's way
01:06:40.900 higher than
01:06:41.440 anybody would
01:06:42.120 want it to
01:06:42.560 be,
01:06:42.880 right?
01:06:43.460 So if you're
01:06:44.640 the black
01:06:45.020 woman,
01:06:45.380 do you say,
01:06:46.160 maybe I'll
01:06:46.880 cross the
01:06:47.340 street?
01:06:49.720 Right?
01:06:50.380 Would that
01:06:50.820 be unreasonable
01:06:52.000 to make a
01:06:53.560 judgment based
01:06:56.240 on statistics?
01:06:57.900 Well,
01:06:58.460 it's unfair.
01:06:59.920 It's racist.
01:07:01.160 Because those
01:07:01.820 three people
01:07:02.460 that are coming
01:07:03.520 the other way,
01:07:04.080 they could be
01:07:04.480 like honor roll
01:07:05.280 students,
01:07:06.460 they could be
01:07:07.080 Harvard students,
01:07:09.820 you don't know
01:07:10.440 anything about
01:07:11.140 them.
01:07:12.260 You don't know
01:07:12.720 anything about
01:07:13.300 them.
01:07:13.760 But here's the
01:07:14.320 technology that
01:07:15.100 could change
01:07:15.560 that.
01:07:16.780 Facial
01:07:17.220 recognition.
01:07:18.840 Imagine if
01:07:19.840 facial recognition
01:07:21.540 was so good
01:07:22.480 that somebody
01:07:24.200 approaches and
01:07:25.480 you could judge
01:07:26.160 them individually.
01:07:27.780 Boop,
01:07:27.960 boop,
01:07:28.120 boop,
01:07:28.320 oh,
01:07:28.540 three college
01:07:29.120 students are
01:07:29.760 probably no
01:07:30.900 risk here at
01:07:31.460 all.
01:07:32.500 And you just
01:07:33.020 know that even
01:07:33.720 though they're
01:07:34.040 strangers.
01:07:34.380 or three
01:07:36.040 people who
01:07:36.580 have jobs.
01:07:38.000 Three people
01:07:38.580 who have jobs
01:07:39.100 are far less
01:07:39.940 likely to attack
01:07:40.840 you, no
01:07:42.040 matter what
01:07:42.520 ethnicity you
01:07:43.260 are or they
01:07:44.040 are, far less
01:07:45.240 likely than
01:07:45.820 three people
01:07:46.420 who don't
01:07:46.700 have jobs.
01:07:47.820 It's not a
01:07:48.300 universal rule,
01:07:49.900 but likelihood.
01:07:52.780 So the
01:07:53.320 question is,
01:07:54.080 if we get to
01:07:54.940 the point where
01:07:55.500 we can judge
01:07:56.160 people individually
01:07:57.340 and instantly,
01:07:59.060 somebody comes
01:07:59.760 in for a
01:08:00.220 job, boom,
01:08:01.700 you already
01:08:02.100 know who
01:08:02.460 they are.
01:08:02.820 then maybe
01:08:04.780 you could be
01:08:05.380 less racist,
01:08:06.700 right?
01:08:07.620 Because racism
01:08:08.600 is based on
01:08:09.680 some assumption
01:08:10.700 that somebody
01:08:11.440 is similar to
01:08:12.320 other people
01:08:12.860 by the
01:08:13.620 coincidence of
01:08:14.380 their look
01:08:14.920 and their
01:08:15.400 melatonin.
01:08:18.900 Melanin?
01:08:19.580 No melanin.
01:08:22.080 And individual
01:08:23.320 identification would
01:08:25.280 help.
01:08:26.020 Get rid of
01:08:26.480 that.
01:08:28.960 Here's a
01:08:29.640 little trick
01:08:30.080 from Jonathan
01:08:30.980 Tulin on
01:08:32.140 Twitter.
01:08:33.420 He says
01:08:34.220 this,
01:08:34.640 if someone
01:08:35.100 asks you
01:08:35.540 how you
01:08:35.900 are,
01:08:36.380 say,
01:08:36.780 quote,
01:08:37.280 I'm amazing,
01:08:38.240 thanks,
01:08:38.640 how are you?
01:08:39.680 Now,
01:08:40.280 I tweeted
01:08:40.660 this because
01:08:41.480 that's exactly
01:08:43.360 what I say.
01:08:44.840 I use those
01:08:45.540 precise words.
01:08:47.200 Now,
01:08:47.360 not every time,
01:08:48.720 but if I am
01:08:49.740 actually having
01:08:50.340 a good day,
01:08:51.320 I usually say,
01:08:52.500 I'm amazing,
01:08:53.360 thanks,
01:08:54.200 how are you?
01:08:55.080 Here's why I
01:08:55.920 do it.
01:08:57.320 Repetition
01:08:57.880 is persuasion
01:08:59.760 and you can
01:09:00.780 repeat to
01:09:01.440 yourself
01:09:01.920 something that
01:09:03.160 you want to
01:09:03.560 tune yourself
01:09:04.160 to.
01:09:04.840 So if you
01:09:05.300 want to be
01:09:05.620 a nice person,
01:09:06.480 you tell
01:09:06.780 yourself you're
01:09:07.320 a nice person
01:09:07.900 every day.
01:09:08.740 If you want
01:09:09.300 to be stronger
01:09:10.420 or healthier,
01:09:11.420 it probably
01:09:11.900 does help
01:09:12.440 to tell
01:09:12.880 yourself you're
01:09:13.460 stronger or
01:09:14.040 healthier,
01:09:14.680 even if the
01:09:15.440 only thing
01:09:15.780 that changes
01:09:16.200 is it makes
01:09:16.800 you exercise
01:09:17.840 more or
01:09:18.360 whatever.
01:09:19.400 So I would
01:09:20.280 say as a
01:09:20.880 good personal
01:09:22.040 trick that if
01:09:23.560 somebody says,
01:09:24.280 how are you?
01:09:24.820 don't say
01:09:26.700 this.
01:09:29.180 Don't say
01:09:30.020 not bad.
01:09:32.820 That's the
01:09:33.480 worst thing
01:09:33.900 you could say.
01:09:34.500 Not bad.
01:09:36.260 Because your
01:09:37.500 brain doesn't
01:09:38.060 recognize not,
01:09:38.960 but it recognizes
01:09:39.600 bad.
01:09:40.160 So it's like
01:09:40.680 telling yourself
01:09:41.720 you're bad
01:09:42.340 every time
01:09:43.400 somebody asks
01:09:43.920 you how you
01:09:44.320 are,
01:09:44.860 and eventually
01:09:45.400 you start
01:09:46.100 convincing
01:09:46.500 yourself you're
01:09:47.160 bad.
01:09:48.000 But suppose
01:09:48.660 you said
01:09:49.160 every time
01:09:49.900 somebody asks
01:09:50.460 you,
01:09:50.940 it's an
01:09:51.500 excuse to
01:09:52.340 do an
01:09:52.660 affirmation
01:09:53.280 out loud.
01:09:53.840 I'm
01:09:54.040 amazing.
01:09:54.820 Because I'm
01:09:55.800 amazing isn't
01:09:57.260 just are you
01:09:58.000 well or are
01:09:58.980 you having a
01:09:59.540 good day.
01:10:00.400 That's the
01:10:01.060 beauty of it.
01:10:02.460 It's I'm
01:10:03.820 amazing.
01:10:05.580 Somebody says
01:10:06.300 Charles Duhigg.
01:10:07.440 Did he say
01:10:08.060 that in his
01:10:08.580 book?
01:10:10.120 Because he
01:10:10.760 wrote a book
01:10:11.260 on habits.
01:10:12.180 Charles Duhigg
01:10:12.840 actually spent
01:10:13.560 a day with
01:10:14.520 me when he
01:10:15.680 was writing
01:10:16.060 that book and
01:10:16.920 ended up not
01:10:17.600 putting me in
01:10:18.100 his book.
01:10:19.340 But if it
01:10:20.520 came from his
01:10:21.300 book, it was
01:10:22.360 great.
01:10:23.720 But use that
01:10:24.300 trick.
01:10:24.820 Facebook,
01:10:26.040 according to
01:10:26.760 Josh Kaplan,
01:10:28.260 he was
01:10:28.600 tweeting that
01:10:29.560 Facebook is
01:10:31.180 considering
01:10:31.880 restricting the
01:10:32.980 circulation of
01:10:33.780 content,
01:10:34.980 whatever that
01:10:35.640 means, if the
01:10:36.620 election descends
01:10:37.560 into chaos or
01:10:38.540 violent unrest.
01:10:40.600 Are you
01:10:41.220 comfortable with
01:10:41.840 that?
01:10:43.060 That Facebook
01:10:43.800 is at least
01:10:46.240 teasing, I
01:10:47.540 don't know if
01:10:47.940 they'll actually
01:10:48.400 do it, but
01:10:49.580 they would
01:10:50.040 restrict
01:10:50.620 circulation of
01:10:51.920 content and
01:10:52.680 they don't say
01:10:53.240 what content
01:10:53.840 if there's
01:10:55.320 chaos or
01:10:56.020 violence after
01:10:56.740 the election.
01:10:58.160 Now, you
01:10:58.980 can think of
01:10:59.480 a good way
01:11:00.060 that would
01:11:00.420 work.
01:11:01.380 The good
01:11:01.860 way would
01:11:02.500 be if
01:11:02.780 somebody's
01:11:03.220 trying to
01:11:04.060 organize a
01:11:06.320 riot,
01:11:07.520 wouldn't you
01:11:08.200 be happy if
01:11:09.020 Facebook did
01:11:10.320 not help
01:11:10.960 anybody organize
01:11:12.500 a riot?
01:11:12.900 on the other
01:11:14.240 hand, free
01:11:16.440 speech.
01:11:17.640 On the other
01:11:18.180 hand, what if
01:11:19.740 they say we're
01:11:20.540 organizing a
01:11:21.320 protest, but
01:11:22.720 Facebook thinks
01:11:23.740 it will be a
01:11:24.340 riot?
01:11:25.720 Then do they
01:11:26.620 restrict it?
01:11:28.260 I don't know.
01:11:30.160 How long would
01:11:31.140 it take the
01:11:31.920 people organizing
01:11:33.480 their riots or
01:11:34.340 protests to
01:11:35.320 just move to
01:11:35.900 another platform,
01:11:37.180 just move to
01:11:37.960 WhatsApp or
01:11:38.800 something else?
01:11:40.220 probably wouldn't
01:11:42.040 take long.
01:11:42.680 Well, I guess
01:11:43.080 WhatsApp wouldn't
01:11:43.760 work, but some
01:11:44.720 other thing like
01:11:45.860 Signal or
01:11:46.420 something.
01:11:47.540 So I'm a
01:11:49.000 little uneasy,
01:11:50.420 a little uneasy
01:11:51.280 with the
01:11:52.280 platforms
01:11:53.020 manipulating
01:11:55.440 public opinion
01:11:56.640 directly, because
01:11:58.640 they're saying
01:11:59.040 that.
01:11:59.740 They're actually,
01:12:00.960 I don't know how
01:12:01.580 to read this any
01:12:02.240 other way, I
01:12:03.420 believe Facebook
01:12:04.200 is, number
01:12:05.220 one, acknowledging
01:12:06.520 that Facebook
01:12:08.100 manipulates public
01:12:09.460 opinion.
01:12:10.980 Right?
01:12:11.740 Because if they
01:12:12.880 say they're going
01:12:13.680 to stop allowing
01:12:15.360 certain kinds of
01:12:16.260 speech under this
01:12:17.420 circumstance, they
01:12:18.700 are admitting the
01:12:20.120 things that happen
01:12:20.940 on their platform
01:12:21.760 change the real
01:12:23.060 world, meaning
01:12:24.040 that they influence
01:12:24.960 the world.
01:12:25.940 So that's pretty
01:12:27.280 important.
01:12:28.840 But also the fact
01:12:30.220 that they would use
01:12:31.000 their judgment about
01:12:33.120 what it is that's
01:12:34.280 too important or
01:12:35.540 too dangerous to
01:12:36.600 put on there.
01:12:38.280 This is a tough
01:12:39.360 one.
01:12:39.580 And I'm not
01:12:40.320 even sure which
01:12:40.940 way I go on
01:12:41.680 this.
01:12:42.480 Because on one
01:12:43.160 hand, I have
01:12:47.820 mixed Zuckerberg
01:12:49.720 feelings.
01:12:51.060 So on one
01:12:51.600 hand, he
01:12:52.640 probably is
01:12:53.360 legitimately one
01:12:54.400 of the best
01:12:54.980 CEOs in
01:12:57.420 history.
01:12:58.720 Even at a
01:12:59.760 young age, he
01:13:00.300 was one of the
01:13:00.700 best CEOs in
01:13:01.420 history.
01:13:02.060 So I have
01:13:02.780 great respect
01:13:03.580 for his
01:13:04.480 talents.
01:13:05.300 I do think he
01:13:06.040 only wants what's
01:13:06.780 best.
01:13:07.100 I don't think he
01:13:07.900 has any bad
01:13:08.480 intentions for
01:13:09.160 anybody.
01:13:10.360 But even so,
01:13:13.800 trusting anybody
01:13:14.960 to decide what
01:13:16.560 we can and
01:13:17.120 cannot see is
01:13:18.760 pretty dangerous
01:13:19.380 stuff.
01:13:21.700 The CDC changed
01:13:23.260 their guidelines.
01:13:24.300 They said it was a
01:13:25.120 draft report and
01:13:26.160 they pulled it
01:13:26.620 back where they
01:13:27.700 said that the
01:13:28.500 coronavirus had a
01:13:31.360 bigger risk of
01:13:32.120 airborne transmission
01:13:33.400 and then they
01:13:34.060 backed that off
01:13:34.780 and said, no,
01:13:35.320 no, no, it's
01:13:35.780 not so much the
01:13:36.540 airborne transmission
01:13:37.440 as close contact
01:13:39.280 with people and
01:13:40.040 maybe something
01:13:40.560 about services.
01:13:42.060 Now, when you
01:13:42.500 see stuff like
01:13:43.180 this, what are
01:13:45.440 we supposed to
01:13:46.100 think about trusting
01:13:46.960 experts?
01:13:48.060 You've got Joe
01:13:48.880 Biden out there,
01:13:49.700 brain-dead Joe
01:13:50.380 Biden saying,
01:13:51.760 trust the experts.
01:13:52.900 We must listen to
01:13:53.760 the experts.
01:13:56.080 And then the
01:13:57.020 very next news
01:13:57.940 story is about
01:14:00.400 the experts being
01:14:01.240 wrong.
01:14:01.620 So, how does
01:14:03.940 Joe Biden, how
01:14:06.420 does he justify
01:14:07.940 his fairly, not
01:14:11.640 fairly, but his
01:14:12.760 very strict
01:14:13.660 preference for
01:14:15.120 following the
01:14:15.840 experts?
01:14:16.520 How does he
01:14:17.240 justify that in a
01:14:18.360 context where the
01:14:19.280 news, the news
01:14:20.920 that's swirling
01:14:21.720 around him even
01:14:22.580 at the same time
01:14:23.680 is that the
01:14:24.760 experts were wrong
01:14:25.800 about this, the
01:14:27.340 experts were wrong
01:14:28.280 about that, the
01:14:29.620 experts were wrong
01:14:30.520 about that.
01:14:31.620 If you look at
01:14:32.660 President Trump's
01:14:33.520 greatest accomplishments,
01:14:35.520 what do they all
01:14:36.240 have in common?
01:14:38.140 What do they all
01:14:38.860 have in common?
01:14:40.040 The experts said
01:14:40.940 that they wouldn't
01:14:41.580 work, right?
01:14:43.420 Did the experts say
01:14:44.760 that a trade war
01:14:45.820 with China would
01:14:46.800 always be a bad
01:14:47.880 idea?
01:14:48.840 They did.
01:14:49.720 What do they say
01:14:50.420 now?
01:14:51.380 Oh, it looks like
01:14:52.020 it worked, right?
01:14:54.020 Now, it didn't work
01:14:55.180 in terms of we got
01:14:56.080 everything we wanted
01:14:57.000 and we got a good
01:14:57.680 deal.
01:14:57.920 But it certainly
01:14:58.820 moved the ball
01:14:59.540 forward to the
01:15:00.960 point where
01:15:01.500 decoupling makes
01:15:02.660 sense.
01:15:03.180 We know what we
01:15:03.800 can and can't get
01:15:04.540 done.
01:15:05.320 We got as much
01:15:06.320 as we could.
01:15:07.800 But certainly,
01:15:09.020 the president was
01:15:09.840 right that pushing
01:15:11.280 China was right
01:15:12.400 and the experts
01:15:13.180 all disagreed.
01:15:14.580 It was almost
01:15:15.220 universal disagreement
01:15:16.460 by the experts.
01:15:18.240 How about getting
01:15:20.120 the peace deals
01:15:22.020 that the president's
01:15:22.920 gotten so far
01:15:23.600 in the Middle East
01:15:24.400 by pursuing
01:15:25.760 individual peace
01:15:27.060 deals before
01:15:28.020 doing the
01:15:28.920 Palestinian thing?
01:15:30.480 What did the
01:15:31.140 experts say
01:15:32.080 you had to do
01:15:33.440 to get peace
01:15:34.240 in the Middle
01:15:34.820 East?
01:15:35.660 Well, John Kerry
01:15:36.560 was an expert,
01:15:37.440 right?
01:15:37.900 And all of the
01:15:38.740 other experts
01:15:39.460 who agree with
01:15:40.400 Kerry said,
01:15:41.700 no, you've got
01:15:42.240 to get the
01:15:42.640 Palestinian thing
01:15:43.620 first or otherwise
01:15:44.820 nothing else works.
01:15:46.380 All the experts
01:15:47.460 were wrong.
01:15:48.460 What about the
01:15:49.000 experts who said
01:15:49.900 if we pull our
01:15:51.300 forces out from
01:15:52.720 that zone between
01:15:53.620 Turkey and Syria,
01:15:55.500 the Kurds will
01:15:56.260 be slaughtered?
01:15:57.580 Didn't all the
01:15:58.280 experts say they
01:15:58.960 would be slaughtered?
01:15:59.980 And the president
01:16:00.580 said, no, they
01:16:01.620 won't.
01:16:02.320 And they weren't.
01:16:04.580 How many times
01:16:05.660 do you have to
01:16:06.140 see President Trump
01:16:07.200 do something that
01:16:08.680 the experts did
01:16:09.620 not say you
01:16:10.260 should do,
01:16:11.100 and it worked
01:16:11.980 out?
01:16:13.120 He's done it a
01:16:14.080 lot of times.
01:16:15.660 So Joe Biden
01:16:17.160 and his expert
01:16:18.300 reliance does
01:16:20.300 seem like that's
01:16:22.560 a little sketchy.
01:16:23.620 All right.
01:16:26.200 So he says,
01:16:27.360 John Kerry is
01:16:27.980 not an expert.
01:16:29.300 He's an heiress,
01:16:30.120 his wife.
01:16:30.920 Well, I think if
01:16:31.660 you've been
01:16:32.040 Secretary of State
01:16:33.200 and you've been
01:16:34.500 a senator for
01:16:35.180 that many years,
01:16:36.400 you could be
01:16:36.940 an expert.
01:16:42.360 All right.
01:16:43.100 I think I've
01:16:43.680 gone too long
01:16:44.640 and I'm going
01:16:45.240 to end here
01:16:45.860 and I will
01:16:46.620 talk to you
01:16:47.200 tomorrow.
01:16:48.240 Thank you.
