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.
