00:00:00.000 Pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pump, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum.
00:00:11.780 Hey everybody. Come on in, gather around. It's time. Time for the best part of the day, the part that makes everything better.
00:00:21.660 It's called the simultaneous sip. Do you know what you need to participate? Do you? Do you? Yeah, that's right.
00:00:29.840 You all got the right answer at the same time.
00:00:32.480 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or cyanocantine drug
00:00:36.560 or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:40.600 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:43.880 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day,
00:00:50.100 the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:52.380 It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now.
00:00:54.900 Go.
00:00:59.360 Oh, yeah. That's good stuff.
00:01:04.340 Who says that? That was Johnny Carson.
00:01:07.440 That's good stuff. That's good stuff.
00:01:11.260 Well, it's hard to evaluate the news if you're not an expert yourself on some things.
00:01:19.280 And there are a lot of things I'm not an expert on.
00:01:22.460 One of the things is political campaigns.
00:01:26.400 I'm not an expert on political campaigns.
00:01:30.000 So when I look at Joe Biden calling a lid on his schedule,
00:01:36.320 meaning that he will not appear in public today whatsoever in any way,
00:01:43.000 and when that lid is called first thing in the morning,
00:01:46.680 I ask myself this because, again, I'm not an expert on political campaigns,
00:01:51.860 but if you're running for president and it's 40 days or so before the election,
00:01:58.820 do you not know what your schedule will be tomorrow?
00:02:05.160 Do you not?
00:02:06.100 Because it seems to me they could have called the lid for today yesterday because I'm pretty sure they knew yesterday that there would or would not be any public appearances today.
00:02:19.140 Am I wrong?
00:02:20.780 Wouldn't they know that yesterday?
00:02:22.780 But they called it this morning.
00:02:25.420 It sort of makes you think that maybe sort of just possibly they make their decision about whether there's going to be a lid based on how he's doing that morning.
00:02:38.080 Now, you could tell me, no, no, Scott, you don't understand.
00:02:44.960 He's fundraising, needs a whole day to fundraise, or he's fundraising and he's preparing for the debate.
00:02:55.280 You know, you need to clear your schedule and get ready for that debate.
00:02:58.260 To which I say, have you heard of Zoom?
00:03:03.000 Because you can do a national interview in 10 minutes.
00:03:07.840 You can do it during break of your preparations for other stuff.
00:03:14.860 So it seems to me that there's no legitimate reason that a candidate for president would just disappear for a day this close to the election.
00:03:23.100 Unless they're trying to hint to us that the cat's on the roof, if you know what I mean.
00:03:29.780 The old joke that is suggesting that there's more trouble ahead, but we're going to break it to you slowly.
00:03:38.360 All right.
00:03:39.400 The big news of the day, well, a couple of big news.
00:03:43.300 But one is that a reporter asked the president yesterday, the reporter says, win, lose, or draw in this election, will you, talking to President Trump, will you commit here today for a peaceful transfer of power after the election?
00:03:59.580 And Trump, in his inimitable way, instead of saying the obvious thing, which is, of course, we don't want any, you know, any violence, and we're all going to follow the Constitution, and it'll all work out.
00:04:13.520 That's what you expected it to say.
00:04:16.420 But President Trump does not say what you expect him to say, sort of ever.
00:04:22.660 And so, when asked if he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power after the election, Trump says, and I quote, we're going to have to see what happens.
00:04:36.900 Now, the reason I like that is that it's transparent, and it's honest.
00:04:47.260 That was the only honest answer.
00:04:50.320 Did you want him to lie?
00:04:51.680 Did you want him to lie because that would change something?
00:04:55.500 What would have changed if he lied?
00:04:58.400 What if he said, oh, yeah, I can commit to that?
00:05:01.700 Because, you know, he can't commit to that.
00:05:04.260 He doesn't have the ability to commit to that.
00:05:07.180 Because he's only one person.
00:05:09.680 And while he has vast powers as the president, he doesn't control all of our actions.
00:05:16.440 He doesn't control 330 million people.
00:05:19.460 If 330 million people feel like they want to get a little violent after Election Day, what the hell is Trump going to do about it?
00:05:28.300 How in the world can he commit that that's not going to happen?
00:05:31.340 When, in fact, we've designed a system that's guaranteed to make it happen?
00:05:36.040 You know how you could, and the president referred to the same thing.
00:05:42.220 If you created an election process that the entire country thought was a valid process, well, maybe.
00:05:52.700 Maybe in that case you could come close to guaranteeing it, because you'd be at least getting rid of the primary reason for any violence.
00:06:02.260 If you got rid of the reason, you'd have a pretty good shot at having no violence.
00:06:07.380 But if you design the reason for violence into the system, you actually create a system that guarantees violence.
00:06:15.900 How is the president supposed to commit to it not happening when you've designed it for violence?
00:06:21.780 What I mean by that is if you design a system that 40%, I'll just use a number pulling it out of my you-know-what, but probably 40% of the country, I'm guessing, could be 30 or 50, whatever.
00:06:35.340 But in that range, let's say 40% of the country is not going to trust the result if there is a mass mail-in kind of a vote which looks like the way it's heading.
00:06:47.020 Now, for those who are new to this, there are three separate kinds of mail-ins.
00:06:53.360 If you don't know that there are three different kinds, and you just say to yourself, they're all reliable, or you say to yourself, they're all not reliable, you don't understand the question.
00:07:07.100 There are three different kinds.
00:07:09.420 Two of them, pretty reliable.
00:07:12.560 I would be comfortable with two of the three.
00:07:14.740 The third one, completely unreliable, and it's the big one.
00:07:20.140 The reliable ones are absentee ballots, and they're reliable because you request the ballot.
00:07:28.520 So it's a little harder to cheat if you've requested it, you get it, it's got your name on it, you send it in.
00:07:34.260 We've done that for years.
00:07:35.980 People are pretty comfortable with that.
00:07:37.440 That's one of the three.
00:07:38.620 Pretty good.
00:07:39.100 Second one is five states have gone through the history of doing generic mail-in ballots to everybody, but they've also had time to scrub their databases and figure out what their base is, so if anything is out of whack, they'd say, oh, this one's out of whack, because prior years it didn't look like that.
00:08:01.840 So for five of the states, pretty good.
00:08:06.800 I'd like it to be better, but pretty good.
00:08:09.320 So that's two of the three types.
00:08:12.460 The absentee balance, very well tested.
00:08:16.380 The five states that have been doing it and had time to refine it, very well tested.
00:08:21.080 And then the third category, which is the big one, which is all the other states who haven't tested it.
00:08:29.120 They've never tested their databases to know if they're going to send them to the wrong homes.
00:08:34.480 People are going to get massive wrong mailings.
00:08:38.040 We don't know.
00:08:39.600 Now, it could be good and it could be not good, but would you trust it if it's never been tested and, let's say, it gives you a result you don't like?
00:08:49.120 No, no.
00:08:50.260 No, it's a system that's designed to fail.
00:08:53.540 It's designed from the start to fail.
00:08:57.000 If you don't get that it's designed to fail, you're not paying attention.
00:09:02.240 If you fall for the trick that there's one kind of mail-in vote and it's all like absentee ballots, therefore it's all good, you have fallen for the fake news.
00:09:14.480 There are three different situations.
00:09:17.040 Two of them, pretty good.
00:09:18.400 Pretty good.
00:09:20.260 The third one, the big one, don't know.
00:09:23.100 So even if it were accurate, which is sketchy, who knows, but even if it were accurate, who would trust it because it hasn't been tested?
00:09:33.320 And in our current situation, that is called planning to fail.
00:09:37.440 You can't draw any picture where if we do what we plan to do, try to tell a story that includes doing exactly what we plan and then everybody's happy at the end.
00:09:53.700 You can't do it.
00:09:54.520 So when the president says he can't commit to a nonviolent transfer of power, that's just honest.
00:10:11.960 How in the world, he can't even stop the, apparently he can't stop the riots in the cities.
00:10:18.340 Why would they stop?
00:10:19.840 If Trump gets elected, do you think riots are going to stop?
00:10:22.880 Let's say Trump gets elected in a landslide and it's such a landslide that you don't even have any questions about the vote.
00:10:32.200 You might say to yourself, yes, there was some voter suppression and there was some voter cheating, but it couldn't possibly be big enough to account for the landslide.
00:10:42.460 But even with a landslide of that size, do you think there would be no violence?
00:10:48.360 Of course not.
00:10:49.900 Of course there would be violence.
00:10:52.840 Because there's violence now and there's nothing that will stop it.
00:10:56.660 There's nothing that's lining up.
00:11:00.340 There's nothing about the election that would stop it.
00:11:03.040 Of course there would be.
00:11:04.480 All right.
00:11:06.780 So that's getting everybody all worked out.
00:11:08.820 And, of course, that plays into the, you're a big old dictator if you're talking about that.
00:11:17.140 But here, of course, is the part that the fake news doesn't tell their audience.
00:11:23.000 And it goes like this.
00:11:25.140 I don't think there are any Trump supporters who want to violate the Constitution.
00:11:30.120 Have you ever met one?
00:11:31.760 Have you ever met a Trump supporter who would say,
00:11:34.360 if we have an election that we can trust and Trump does not get elected,
00:11:40.820 we're going to take up arms to keep him in office?
00:11:45.080 It's said zero people.
00:11:47.660 Have you ever met anybody who would say,
00:11:51.540 if Trump loses, we want to keep him in office?
00:11:56.080 I've never met anybody who has that opinion.
00:11:58.120 In fact, I would argue, anybody who has that opinion is not a Republican.
00:12:04.560 Anybody who has that opinion, that the election doesn't count,
00:12:08.100 and we're just going to keep him.
00:12:09.700 Anybody who would have that opinion is not a conservative.
00:12:13.020 They would not be somebody who believes in the Constitution,
00:12:16.040 and therefore they would not be on Trump's team to begin with.
00:12:20.260 Right?
00:12:20.420 That's pretty fundamental in the whole Trump supporter thing,
00:12:25.000 is that if he doesn't win, he's not president.
00:12:29.340 Right?
00:12:30.220 Can we agree?
00:12:32.000 If there's any left-leaning people wandering in here to see your comments,
00:12:38.000 can you back me up in the comments?
00:12:40.180 Is there anybody who supports Trump
00:12:43.200 who would support keeping him in office if he lost the election?
00:12:47.060 No, no, that doesn't exist.
00:12:51.800 That's completely imaginary.
00:12:55.320 Anybody who thinks that that's the case
00:12:57.260 has got a real bad case of TDS.
00:13:01.100 Now, we'll talk about that in a minute, too.
00:13:05.180 And then, I guess President Trump predicted
00:13:07.620 that the Supreme Court may decide the outcome of the election.
00:13:11.700 I would say that's close to guaranteed, wouldn't you?
00:13:14.820 You know, among President Trump's predictions,
00:13:22.480 this one's a pretty safe one.
00:13:24.520 I feel as if no matter what the outcome is,
00:13:27.560 the Supreme Court's going to get involved.
00:13:30.740 It just feels like a guarantee.
00:13:33.000 Now, here's the thing.
00:13:34.520 Are Republicans and conservatives
00:13:37.260 going to trust whatever the Supreme Court says
00:13:41.160 if they have a 6-3 majority,
00:13:43.560 which they might have, right?
00:13:46.340 If conservatives have a 6-3 majority
00:13:48.640 and the decision doesn't go their way,
00:13:52.120 they are going to accept it.
00:13:54.000 Oh, they'll complain, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:13:56.380 They might say, hey,
00:13:57.720 my justices are not as conservative as they hoped.
00:14:00.760 They'll have something to complain about.
00:14:02.400 But if a 6-3 conservative majority
00:14:05.920 says Trump didn't win,
00:14:10.020 you're not going to see a lot of Trump supporters
00:14:12.920 marching in the streets.
00:14:14.440 Nobody's going to pick up guns over that
00:14:16.580 because that's their court.
00:14:19.760 That's their court.
00:14:21.020 That's the way it goes.
00:14:22.220 They're going to take that.
00:14:23.680 So I don't think you have to worry about anything
00:14:25.380 from the conservative side.
00:14:26.920 Now, what if the election is actually stolen?
00:14:32.880 What about that?
00:14:34.680 What if the election was just obviously stolen?
00:14:38.260 And you could tell that it was stolen.
00:14:43.440 And let's say it was stolen by the Democrats
00:14:45.620 and Trump's still in office.
00:14:48.800 What then?
00:14:50.560 What then?
00:14:51.620 What would you support if the election is stolen?
00:14:55.500 Well, I would support it going to the Supreme Court.
00:14:59.080 And if the Supreme Court said,
00:15:00.560 we're going to have to do a do-over,
00:15:02.800 I would live with that.
00:15:04.980 Whatever the Supreme Court says.
00:15:06.780 As long as we're on the same page
00:15:08.840 that we can trust the Supreme Court,
00:15:10.880 you don't have to worry about the conservatives.
00:15:13.640 You do have to worry about the liberals
00:15:16.180 because they might not accept what the Supreme Court says.
00:15:20.660 They might say,
00:15:21.680 this court is rigged with all conservatives.
00:15:23.800 We do not trust it.
00:15:25.500 All right.
00:15:26.600 It looks like gun sales in the swing states
00:15:29.680 are up 80% this year.
00:15:32.100 And is that bad or good?
00:15:36.220 Is it bad or good that gun sales are up 80%?
00:15:40.600 I don't know.
00:15:42.040 I mean, it's good in terms of freedom, I suppose.
00:15:45.580 But will more people get killed
00:15:47.840 because there are more guns?
00:15:50.160 Probably.
00:15:51.600 We don't know.
00:15:52.600 Could go the other way.
00:15:53.420 Maybe more people will be protected.
00:15:55.800 Hard to know.
00:15:57.760 Kevin McCarthy finally said something
00:16:00.740 I wish somebody had said a long time ago.
00:16:03.580 He said that if Nancy Pelosi tries to impeach President Trump
00:16:07.180 just for trying to get the Supreme Court nominee
00:16:12.000 that he wants when he wants it,
00:16:14.180 that if she tries to impeach him for just that,
00:16:17.560 in other words, doing his job,
00:16:20.180 that they'll try to impeach her.
00:16:26.060 Now, I feel like that's completely fair, don't you?
00:16:29.220 If Pelosi tries to impeach the President
00:16:32.760 for simply doing what the Constitution says is his job,
00:16:36.340 even if you don't like it,
00:16:38.220 I think she should be impeached.
00:16:40.980 That feels perfectly fair to me.
00:16:44.280 All right.
00:16:44.680 What should Trump do, or not do,
00:16:50.580 about all the riots,
00:16:52.340 about the police violence against black people
00:16:56.720 and the Black Lives Matter riots, etc.?
00:16:59.560 What should he do?
00:17:02.300 At the moment, he's just milking it for political gain.
00:17:06.040 And I have mixed feelings about that, right?
00:17:10.760 If the President was getting some flack
00:17:15.440 for not coming out and saying,
00:17:18.160 hey, calm down,
00:17:19.060 let's not have any violence over the Breonna Taylor thing.
00:17:23.400 And so the critics are saying
00:17:24.920 that the President should be more of a calming force on society.
00:17:28.920 To which I say, how would that work?
00:17:31.960 How exactly is President Trump, of all people,
00:17:37.700 going to make the riots less riot-y
00:17:40.840 because he said something?
00:17:43.280 Is there anything that could come out of his mouth
00:17:46.020 that would make the riots less likely to be riots?
00:17:50.080 I don't think so.
00:17:51.380 There's literally nothing he can do
00:17:53.020 that wouldn't make it worse.
00:17:54.460 If all he did was say,
00:17:56.380 I call for peace,
00:17:57.840 we should all come together,
00:18:00.100 what difference would it make?
00:18:02.700 Would it make a difference if anybody said it?
00:18:05.220 Where is Obama calling for peace,
00:18:07.700 and did it make a difference?
00:18:09.980 If Obama, let's say, retired Obama,
00:18:14.040 if him calling for peace
00:18:15.860 doesn't make any difference to the rioting,
00:18:18.520 why would Trump calling for peace make any difference?
00:18:22.020 It would make no difference.
00:18:24.000 It could make it worse.
00:18:25.980 But here's what he could do.
00:18:28.760 He could call for all parties to look to science,
00:18:35.120 which would be a very tricky play.
00:18:39.840 He could say, look,
00:18:41.580 there seems to be some disagreement on the basic situation,
00:18:46.440 meaning that the people who have disagreements
00:18:49.940 about what's happening with these protests
00:18:52.040 and Black Lives Matter, etc.,
00:18:53.500 just seem to have legitimate disagreements
00:18:57.020 about what the reality is,
00:18:59.460 what causes what,
00:19:00.760 who is responsible for what,
00:19:02.700 what's the best solution for this.
00:19:05.200 So why don't we just call on science?
00:19:08.520 Let's see if we can get the best data we can,
00:19:10.880 get everybody to agree,
00:19:12.560 are Black people being killed by police
00:19:15.100 in some way that is statistically meaningful
00:19:18.400 versus any other group,
00:19:20.380 and find out.
00:19:22.060 Let's all get together
00:19:23.160 and really use our science.
00:19:26.080 What would happen?
00:19:27.800 Well, first of all, they would say no.
00:19:30.180 They would say,
00:19:30.880 get away from me with your dictator ways
00:19:34.980 or something.
00:19:36.420 I mean, they would have to say something
00:19:37.860 because it's Trump,
00:19:38.920 but it would be unassailable.
00:19:41.440 It would be completely unassailable to say,
00:19:43.660 look, I think our problem is
00:19:45.680 we're not agreeing on the facts.
00:19:47.960 So let's bring in the science.
00:19:49.440 Let's bring in the experts.
00:19:51.300 Let's really have a national debate
00:19:54.980 on just the facts.
00:19:56.720 How much of it is institutional racism?
00:19:59.300 How much is it a training problem?
00:20:01.540 How much is the behavior of the people
00:20:03.520 who are being stopped?
00:20:05.860 Let's just put it all out there.
00:20:07.620 Let's see what the truth is.
00:20:09.340 If the president did that,
00:20:11.120 it would be unambiguously,
00:20:13.320 let's say productive,
00:20:16.120 meaning that who would argue
00:20:17.500 against having better information?
00:20:19.440 You really can't.
00:20:21.180 But where would that lead you?
00:20:23.600 Well, it would lead you
00:20:24.740 to not protest.
00:20:28.140 But they would know that,
00:20:29.940 and so they would resist.
00:20:31.640 So it would put the Democrats
00:20:33.000 in the position of resisting
00:20:34.620 calls for better data and science.
00:20:38.320 And that would be a good place to be
00:20:39.860 for the president.
00:20:40.500 All right, here's my filter
00:20:43.840 on the riots
00:20:46.920 and the Breonna Taylor stuff.
00:20:50.540 You all know the story by now.
00:20:52.780 The police officers were found
00:20:54.660 not guilty of any kind of murder
00:20:56.920 in terms of her death,
00:20:59.200 and therefore there are riots
00:21:01.580 because of that.
00:21:03.700 Now, here's the central magic trick
00:21:06.360 at play.
00:21:08.480 Or you can call it an illusion
00:21:10.540 or a magic trick.
00:21:12.940 I call it a magic trick
00:21:14.380 because there's somebody
00:21:15.220 actually doing it.
00:21:16.740 In other words,
00:21:17.280 there's somebody perpetrating
00:21:18.680 the trick intentionally.
00:21:20.440 So that's more of a magic trick
00:21:22.400 than a natural illusion
00:21:25.220 that just happened on its own.
00:21:26.740 So here's how I see it.
00:21:28.580 Yes, we're going to the whiteboard.
00:21:30.760 There are two views of reality here.
00:21:33.520 The protesters are saying
00:21:34.960 there's racism everywhere,
00:21:36.960 and there's racists in the cops,
00:21:39.320 and because some of the cops are racist,
00:21:41.720 they're more likely to murder
00:21:43.660 black people in routine stops
00:21:47.580 than they would other groups.
00:21:49.840 So this is the protester view
00:21:52.280 of the world.
00:21:53.220 There's racism,
00:21:54.260 there's racist cops,
00:21:55.840 there's shooting people,
00:21:57.060 and there aren't enough people
00:21:59.260 doing something about it.
00:22:01.080 So therefore,
00:22:01.820 society needs to be really stressed
00:22:04.820 and pushed
00:22:05.720 because it's just not doing anything
00:22:07.880 about this problem.
00:22:10.960 Here's my view,
00:22:12.640 which is that we are past the point
00:22:16.560 where people make their own decisions.
00:22:18.860 For politics,
00:22:21.300 people largely are assigned opinions.
00:22:24.640 So there are almost nobody in the world
00:22:26.680 who just thinks up their own opinion.
00:22:28.980 They look at their news sources
00:22:30.460 and they adopt those opinions
00:22:31.980 that are assigned to them.
00:22:33.420 So if you're a Democrat,
00:22:34.300 you're getting some CNN opinions
00:22:36.020 and some NMSNBC opinions.
00:22:38.260 But what you're not doing,
00:22:40.160 not even close to doing,
00:22:41.900 is making up your own mind.
00:22:43.300 If you believe
00:22:45.200 that people
00:22:46.720 make up their own mind
00:22:48.480 about politics,
00:22:49.520 you don't understand
00:22:50.780 how minds work,
00:22:53.300 how the news works,
00:22:54.460 or how social media
00:22:56.700 and AI works.
00:22:58.140 So here's my model of the world.
00:23:01.020 You've got artificial intelligence
00:23:03.120 in the form of,
00:23:04.460 let's say,
00:23:04.760 the algorithms.
00:23:05.700 The algorithms are telling us
00:23:07.200 what we're seeing
00:23:07.960 and what's important.
00:23:09.520 So that's the first thing.
00:23:11.080 The algorithm decides
00:23:12.740 what you think is important.
00:23:14.960 You don't decide
00:23:15.740 what you think is important.
00:23:16.920 You think you do.
00:23:18.100 But you don't.
00:23:19.260 The algorithm decides that
00:23:20.680 based on what gets you
00:23:21.880 the most excited.
00:23:24.200 Activists, of course,
00:23:25.220 are goosing this.
00:23:26.440 So they're pushing
00:23:28.120 wherever they can push.
00:23:29.420 They're being opportunistic
00:23:31.980 and saying,
00:23:32.940 oh, if people are already mad
00:23:34.640 about this,
00:23:36.020 let's pile on this a little bit.
00:23:37.780 We can move this a little bit.
00:23:39.660 But it's already moving
00:23:40.480 on its own.
00:23:42.600 So between the social media
00:23:44.120 and the fake news,
00:23:45.580 and by fake news I mean
00:23:47.060 if you had originally heard
00:23:49.460 the Breonna Taylor story
00:23:51.280 accurately,
00:23:53.700 let's say the first day
00:23:55.260 that anybody heard the story,
00:23:57.300 it was completely accurate.
00:23:59.420 Now in this case,
00:24:00.280 I don't think there were people
00:24:01.980 lying about the story.
00:24:03.900 I think just we didn't know
00:24:05.380 the story until recently.
00:24:07.440 But suppose on day one
00:24:08.820 you'd heard it was not
00:24:11.140 a no-knock raid.
00:24:13.460 So the core of the thing
00:24:15.520 was that it was a no-knock raid,
00:24:17.660 but now we're told
00:24:18.640 by the police
00:24:20.600 and by the,
00:24:22.200 I guess,
00:24:22.760 was the prosecutor,
00:24:24.440 now we're told
00:24:25.740 that there's a witness
00:24:26.560 and it is confirmed
00:24:28.000 that it was a knock raid.
00:24:30.560 So suppose you'd heard
00:24:31.440 that first.
00:24:32.400 Oh, they knocked.
00:24:33.240 and then you heard
00:24:34.500 that the boyfriend
00:24:35.580 was shot at the police first
00:24:37.160 and then you heard
00:24:38.620 that the police
00:24:39.400 shot back
00:24:40.840 and that there was
00:24:42.760 an innocent person
00:24:43.620 I think on the other side
00:24:45.000 of a wall
00:24:45.500 who got killed.
00:24:47.600 And nothing about this story
00:24:49.700 involves race.
00:24:51.680 In other words,
00:24:53.120 you could tell
00:24:53.600 the entire story
00:24:54.480 without mentioning
00:24:55.460 the ethnicity
00:24:56.840 of anyone involved
00:24:58.000 and nobody would know
00:24:59.340 that you had left it out
00:25:00.360 because there wasn't
00:25:01.800 any racial element
00:25:02.840 to the story whatsoever.
00:25:04.540 So imagine that
00:25:05.780 that had been the news.
00:25:08.260 Tragic,
00:25:08.920 tragic accident.
00:25:10.320 The police are investigating
00:25:12.380 the officers
00:25:13.240 to find out
00:25:14.920 was this purely an accident
00:25:17.260 or was there something
00:25:18.920 bad behavior here?
00:25:20.840 If you had heard
00:25:21.880 that version first,
00:25:24.020 would there be riots?
00:25:25.900 No.
00:25:26.860 If you knew that
00:25:28.540 George Floyd
00:25:29.560 had a fatal amount
00:25:32.500 of fentanyl in him
00:25:33.960 when all that went down,
00:25:37.060 would you feel the same
00:25:38.320 about how he died?
00:25:39.700 Now,
00:25:40.580 there's still something
00:25:42.020 that legitimate questions
00:25:44.980 can be asked
00:25:45.580 about the police performance.
00:25:47.740 So did the police
00:25:48.560 handle themselves
00:25:49.500 perfectly right?
00:25:51.180 I don't know.
00:25:52.360 But did they kill
00:25:53.460 George Floyd?
00:25:55.340 Well,
00:25:55.600 certainly not intentionally.
00:25:59.560 And,
00:26:00.160 you know,
00:26:01.460 if you heard the story
00:26:02.960 just accurately
00:26:04.300 from moment one,
00:26:06.100 you'd have a very
00:26:06.820 different feeling about it.
00:26:07.940 It would be tragic.
00:26:08.620 You would certainly think
00:26:10.060 there are questions
00:26:10.780 to be asked.
00:26:11.680 But it wouldn't look
00:26:12.500 exactly like murder.
00:26:14.400 And it wouldn't even
00:26:15.300 look racial.
00:26:17.180 You know,
00:26:17.420 what was the racial element
00:26:18.900 to that?
00:26:20.840 If you looked at,
00:26:22.680 you can think of a few
00:26:23.820 other examples
00:26:24.580 where there have been
00:26:26.460 riots over something
00:26:27.420 that turned out to be
00:26:28.480 not quite the way
00:26:29.400 it was originally portrayed.
00:26:30.700 So in my view of the world,
00:26:33.140 you've got the AI,
00:26:34.280 the activists
00:26:34.860 pushing social media,
00:26:36.540 the fake news
00:26:37.320 is literally
00:26:37.940 reporting things
00:26:39.260 that are not true.
00:26:40.600 And these things
00:26:41.620 collectively
00:26:42.640 leave you the impression,
00:26:45.360 which would be
00:26:45.940 a false impression
00:26:46.880 under this worldview,
00:26:48.760 the false impression
00:26:49.620 that black people
00:26:50.480 are being murdered
00:26:51.040 by the police.
00:26:52.880 Now,
00:26:53.380 here's the problem.
00:26:54.700 How do these two people
00:26:56.260 have a debate?
00:26:56.920 What's that look like?
00:26:59.980 It's impossible.
00:27:01.980 These people
00:27:02.740 can't have a conversation
00:27:03.880 with these people.
00:27:05.220 They don't even live
00:27:05.960 in the same reality.
00:27:07.420 If you believe
00:27:08.420 that this was true,
00:27:10.320 you're not really
00:27:11.520 even going to be able
00:27:12.160 to hear this.
00:27:13.940 And if you think
00:27:14.680 this is true,
00:27:15.960 you think these people
00:27:17.300 are just under-informed.
00:27:19.740 And if you tried
00:27:20.620 to inform them,
00:27:21.820 how would that go?
00:27:23.780 You know,
00:27:24.160 somebody's like
00:27:25.060 protesting out there
00:27:26.200 and they've
00:27:26.680 committed a significant
00:27:28.860 part of their life
00:27:29.800 to fixing this problem
00:27:31.100 of the cops
00:27:31.760 murdering black people.
00:27:33.460 And then you come in
00:27:34.160 and you say,
00:27:34.580 you know,
00:27:35.360 you were just wrong
00:27:36.160 about the whole thing.
00:27:37.460 You were sort of
00:27:38.180 looking at the situation wrong.
00:27:40.080 Really,
00:27:40.700 your opinion
00:27:41.220 was assigned to you
00:27:42.340 by algorithms
00:27:44.140 and the news,
00:27:45.580 so you don't have
00:27:46.400 an independent opinion.
00:27:47.560 It was actually
00:27:48.040 assigned to you.
00:27:49.100 And all the news
00:27:51.060 was wrong.
00:27:52.480 So you started
00:27:53.540 with completely wrong facts
00:27:55.280 that pointed in
00:27:56.120 exactly the opposite
00:27:57.220 direction of truth
00:27:58.400 and that on top
00:27:59.880 of those facts
00:28:00.560 that were completely wrong,
00:28:02.060 you were assigned
00:28:02.860 an opinion,
00:28:03.740 but in your mind
00:28:04.780 you think you came up
00:28:06.160 with it yourself,
00:28:07.600 but you didn't.
00:28:09.060 You actually
00:28:09.600 were assigned
00:28:10.780 this opinion.
00:28:11.980 How does that go?
00:28:13.120 How does that conversation go?
00:28:14.800 Does this person say,
00:28:15.860 whoa,
00:28:16.480 you're blowing my mind now?
00:28:18.660 I wish I'd known this before,
00:28:20.500 before I wasted
00:28:21.240 all this time
00:28:21.880 protesting
00:28:22.440 the wrong stuff.
00:28:23.280 No.
00:28:25.800 No,
00:28:26.340 it's not going
00:28:26.820 to go that way.
00:28:28.060 You can't convince
00:28:29.100 anybody
00:28:30.340 in either
00:28:30.920 of those realities
00:28:31.860 that they're
00:28:32.960 in the wrong reality.
00:28:34.260 It just doesn't work.
00:28:37.320 So,
00:28:37.960 we'll see
00:28:39.380 more of that.
00:28:41.340 So,
00:28:41.820 I was really curious,
00:28:43.580 and if you didn't
00:28:44.260 do this yesterday,
00:28:45.280 boy,
00:28:45.560 do you miss a show.
00:28:47.320 When I found out
00:28:48.500 the verdict
00:28:49.180 of the Breonna Taylor thing,
00:28:50.920 I immediately turned
00:28:52.240 on CNN.
00:28:53.900 Because,
00:28:54.640 if CNN was a
00:28:55.720 legitimate news
00:28:56.960 organization,
00:28:57.980 what would they
00:28:58.800 have reported
00:28:59.440 about the
00:29:00.720 Breonna Taylor
00:29:01.360 situation?
00:29:02.680 Well,
00:29:03.020 if they were
00:29:03.480 legitimate news,
00:29:04.720 they would have said,
00:29:05.940 gosh,
00:29:07.400 the reporting
00:29:09.040 was wrong
00:29:09.900 about it being
00:29:11.220 no knock,
00:29:11.960 and that's
00:29:12.380 really important.
00:29:13.640 Did they say that?
00:29:15.360 Nope.
00:29:16.620 Chris Cuomo
00:29:17.340 actually said
00:29:18.740 that's not,
00:29:19.760 that's in question.
00:29:21.660 So,
00:29:22.000 even though
00:29:22.580 the official report
00:29:24.200 is that
00:29:24.700 there was a witness
00:29:26.160 and there was
00:29:27.140 an announcement
00:29:28.460 and knocking,
00:29:30.640 Chris Cuomo says,
00:29:31.540 but there was somebody
00:29:32.220 who reports
00:29:33.160 they didn't hear it.
00:29:34.940 There was some
00:29:35.380 other witness
00:29:35.880 who said
00:29:36.220 they didn't hear
00:29:36.820 any announcement.
00:29:38.180 To which I say,
00:29:39.480 if there's somebody
00:29:40.080 who heard it
00:29:40.860 and then somebody
00:29:42.300 who didn't hear it,
00:29:43.400 which one do you think
00:29:44.260 is more reliable?
00:29:45.960 Because it seems to me
00:29:47.280 that the person
00:29:48.600 who clearly heard it
00:29:49.940 unless they're lying.
00:29:51.980 I mean,
00:29:52.220 why would they?
00:29:53.300 I suppose they could.
00:29:55.340 Yeah,
00:29:55.900 I guess anybody
00:29:56.580 has a reason to lie.
00:29:58.060 But it's a little
00:29:59.200 more believable
00:29:59.960 that there's a witness
00:30:01.400 who has an affirmative
00:30:02.620 sighting of something
00:30:03.820 happening
00:30:04.280 than it is somebody
00:30:05.280 who didn't hear it.
00:30:06.960 Because
00:30:07.440 not hearing something
00:30:09.100 is a little bit
00:30:10.660 ordinary.
00:30:11.800 There are people
00:30:12.340 who don't hear things
00:30:13.200 that happen.
00:30:13.680 But it's a little
00:30:15.540 weirder
00:30:16.020 to specifically
00:30:17.700 hear something
00:30:18.540 in detail
00:30:19.260 and then
00:30:20.420 have imagined it.
00:30:21.760 That would be weird.
00:30:23.620 Yeah.
00:30:24.400 In this case,
00:30:25.640 this isn't quite
00:30:26.500 the seeing the elephant
00:30:27.800 situation.
00:30:28.620 I know where you're
00:30:29.380 going on this one,
00:30:30.140 but it's a little
00:30:31.100 different than that.
00:30:32.080 All right.
00:30:33.800 So they would have
00:30:34.700 reported that
00:30:35.520 the central claim
00:30:36.980 is at least,
00:30:39.260 at the very least,
00:30:41.000 it's been
00:30:41.660 credibly questioned
00:30:43.200 at the very least.
00:30:45.000 Then they would have
00:30:45.920 said
00:30:46.200 it was a tragic
00:30:48.120 accident
00:30:48.680 and it had nothing
00:30:50.320 to do with race.
00:30:51.900 There's no evidence
00:30:52.940 that race was a factor
00:30:54.840 in any way
00:30:55.560 and there's no evidence
00:30:57.560 that the police
00:30:58.140 even knew
00:30:59.620 they were shooting
00:31:00.280 in the direction
00:31:01.020 of Breonna Taylor.
00:31:03.400 I think she was
00:31:03.840 on the other side
00:31:04.420 of a wall
00:31:04.880 or something.
00:31:05.680 They thought
00:31:06.100 they were returning
00:31:06.740 fire to the boyfriend.
00:31:08.740 So it was sort of
00:31:10.060 a perfect storm
00:31:11.500 of bad luck
00:31:12.660 that the boyfriend
00:31:14.160 who had the legal
00:31:15.360 handgun
00:31:16.000 thought that the
00:31:17.680 ex-boyfriend
00:31:18.620 who was a drug dealer
00:31:19.680 might have been
00:31:20.180 the one crashing
00:31:20.880 in the door.
00:31:21.980 So that's the first
00:31:23.000 bad piece of luck
00:31:24.440 and the fact that
00:31:25.380 he was there at all.
00:31:27.080 So, you know,
00:31:27.600 you had a lot of bad luck
00:31:29.200 that created the tragedy.
00:31:31.040 If CNN had reported
00:31:32.480 that,
00:31:33.920 that it was just,
00:31:34.880 turns out,
00:31:35.660 it was just a bad luck
00:31:37.060 tragedy situation,
00:31:38.960 would there be more
00:31:40.140 or less rioting?
00:31:42.880 I think less
00:31:44.020 because imagine
00:31:45.760 you were a rioter
00:31:47.240 and you turn on the news
00:31:48.340 and you think
00:31:49.040 it's your friendly
00:31:49.700 news source
00:31:50.340 at CNN
00:31:50.820 and they say,
00:31:52.120 oh, it turns out
00:31:52.700 this was just
00:31:53.280 a big mistake.
00:31:54.800 You should,
00:31:55.560 you know,
00:31:55.880 think about the families,
00:31:58.560 you know,
00:31:58.740 the Taylor family.
00:32:00.040 It's a tragedy.
00:32:01.500 You know,
00:32:01.700 we can't,
00:32:02.380 you know,
00:32:02.880 overstate
00:32:03.460 how much of a tragedy
00:32:04.360 it was,
00:32:05.300 but it was just
00:32:06.060 a tragedy.
00:32:07.120 It was an accident.
00:32:07.840 Maybe we could do
00:32:09.240 better in the future,
00:32:10.060 but it was an accident.
00:32:11.860 That would make a difference,
00:32:13.260 wouldn't it?
00:32:14.580 But instead,
00:32:15.780 CNN played it
00:32:18.700 like maybe,
00:32:20.040 like maybe it was racial.
00:32:23.160 There's no evidence of that.
00:32:25.540 There's no,
00:32:26.660 nobody's even offered evidence
00:32:28.260 that there was a racial
00:32:29.380 component to it.
00:32:30.440 And they still treat it
00:32:31.800 like it is.
00:32:32.540 That is so antisocial
00:32:36.340 that I can't even
00:32:37.480 wrap my head around it.
00:32:39.660 I mean,
00:32:39.960 that is guaranteeing
00:32:41.500 that you have
00:32:43.080 riots.
00:32:45.220 So,
00:32:46.040 I would say that
00:32:47.820 the riots,
00:32:49.940 I'm going to start calling them
00:32:51.060 the fake news riots.
00:32:52.880 That might be misleading,
00:32:54.140 though.
00:32:54.480 The fake news
00:32:55.360 is whatever
00:32:56.520 sparks the riot.
00:32:58.120 Because the riots
00:32:59.040 are almost all
00:33:00.160 fake news,
00:33:00.820 sparked by fake news,
00:33:02.040 CNN,
00:33:02.900 MSNBC,
00:33:03.840 etc.
00:33:04.700 And I don't think
00:33:06.280 they can escape
00:33:07.320 responsibility for it.
00:33:09.580 And the citizens
00:33:10.760 believe it's because
00:33:11.860 of police actions.
00:33:13.960 But that opinion
00:33:15.060 was assigned to them.
00:33:16.420 It's not their opinion.
00:33:18.400 All right.
00:33:21.800 I saw,
00:33:23.000 I watched Van Jones
00:33:24.920 come on to talk about it
00:33:26.620 on CNN.
00:33:27.120 And I like to use him
00:33:28.940 as my example
00:33:30.100 in a lot of cases.
00:33:31.160 because there are a lot
00:33:33.080 of people you can't
00:33:34.320 quite tell.
00:33:35.600 Okay,
00:33:35.940 are you just being a liar
00:33:37.420 because you're a partisan
00:33:39.200 so you're just lying?
00:33:40.980 Or do you really believe
00:33:42.100 what you're saying?
00:33:42.920 Sometimes you can't tell
00:33:43.940 and that determines
00:33:46.080 how you think about them.
00:33:48.120 But in the case of Van Jones,
00:33:49.720 my personal opinion
00:33:50.740 is that he's a genuine
00:33:52.400 and fairly transparent.
00:33:53.900 So even when he's doing
00:33:55.800 something that is
00:33:56.660 nakedly political,
00:33:59.160 he actually will
00:33:59.920 sometimes tell you that.
00:34:01.340 I mean,
00:34:01.620 recently,
00:34:02.740 he made news
00:34:03.860 by saying that
00:34:05.640 he would have complained
00:34:06.640 no matter which way
00:34:08.000 something went
00:34:08.640 because it's political.
00:34:10.680 So he's fairly transparent
00:34:12.340 about the fact
00:34:14.040 that some of it's political.
00:34:15.280 But I feel like
00:34:16.160 his actual emotion
00:34:18.420 about things
00:34:19.320 is completely genuine.
00:34:20.540 And he came on
00:34:23.440 after the Breonna Taylor thing
00:34:25.120 and, you know,
00:34:27.180 you can't read
00:34:27.740 people's minds
00:34:28.520 but his face
00:34:29.580 displayed genuine pain.
00:34:34.860 Genuine pain.
00:34:36.300 You can't act that well.
00:34:39.120 Like,
00:34:39.300 there's nobody
00:34:40.500 who can do that
00:34:41.480 to their face
00:34:42.320 to show that much pain
00:34:44.320 unless it's real.
00:34:46.300 All right,
00:34:46.500 nobody is that good
00:34:47.240 of an actor.
00:34:49.360 So Van Jones,
00:34:50.540 I'm trying to figure
00:34:51.540 him out, right?
00:34:52.720 Because you want
00:34:53.500 to understand
00:34:54.080 people who have
00:34:54.720 different opinions
00:34:55.340 if they're reasonable people
00:34:56.720 and I hold him up
00:34:58.320 as my reasonable person.
00:34:59.740 So he's the one
00:35:00.280 I want to understand.
00:35:01.840 Trying to understand,
00:35:03.180 you know,
00:35:03.820 Don Lemon is a waste of time
00:35:05.400 because he's not really
00:35:07.100 trying to present
00:35:08.180 an accurate view
00:35:09.260 of the world.
00:35:11.240 But I think Van Jones
00:35:12.520 for the most part is.
00:35:14.360 Actually wants to live
00:35:15.420 in the real world
00:35:16.180 with real solutions
00:35:17.180 and stuff.
00:35:17.840 So I want to understand him.
00:35:19.260 And I was looking
00:35:21.680 at the pain
00:35:23.780 and I was trying
00:35:24.700 to understand that
00:35:25.460 because I said
00:35:26.040 to myself,
00:35:28.020 wouldn't he be happy
00:35:30.500 that this was not
00:35:33.000 a case
00:35:33.520 of a racial murder
00:35:35.100 by police?
00:35:36.320 Shouldn't that be
00:35:37.000 cause for at least
00:35:38.580 a little bit of relief
00:35:39.940 that it wasn't
00:35:41.760 what you thought it was?
00:35:42.760 But instead,
00:35:45.380 he was actually
00:35:46.200 in just as much pain
00:35:47.820 as if it had been
00:35:49.720 a racial murder.
00:35:51.360 And he said this directly.
00:35:53.400 He said,
00:35:54.300 would this have happened
00:35:55.460 if Breonna Taylor
00:35:57.500 was white?
00:35:59.320 To which I say,
00:36:01.080 why wouldn't it?
00:36:03.580 What part of it
00:36:04.740 would not have happened
00:36:05.620 if she had been white?
00:36:07.360 Would they not
00:36:09.360 have gotten
00:36:09.800 the warrant
00:36:10.400 in the first place?
00:36:12.660 Now,
00:36:12.940 if that's
00:36:14.120 the
00:36:14.520 if that's
00:36:15.940 the
00:36:16.260 if that's
00:36:18.640 the assertion
00:36:19.300 that maybe
00:36:19.940 it wouldn't have
00:36:20.860 even happened
00:36:21.480 there would have
00:36:21.920 been no
00:36:22.420 event?
00:36:24.660 Maybe,
00:36:25.360 but I don't see
00:36:26.060 any evidence of that.
00:36:27.680 Don't the police
00:36:28.560 pursue crimes
00:36:29.660 no matter what
00:36:30.320 your race is?
00:36:31.000 I thought
00:36:31.620 I thought
00:36:32.160 they were pretty
00:36:32.620 good at that.
00:36:33.540 It's a crime
00:36:34.360 or it's not a crime.
00:36:35.620 It's not a crime
00:36:36.880 and what's your race?
00:36:38.720 I don't think
00:36:39.400 anybody says that,
00:36:40.320 do they?
00:36:41.160 So I think
00:36:42.020 the event
00:36:42.560 would have happened
00:36:43.200 and once
00:36:44.900 the police
00:36:45.620 encountered
00:36:47.980 gunfire,
00:36:50.180 you know,
00:36:50.420 once people
00:36:51.140 were firing
00:36:51.820 at the police,
00:36:52.960 once they
00:36:53.380 they broke
00:36:53.980 down the door,
00:36:55.080 what exactly
00:36:55.980 would the police
00:36:56.800 have done
00:36:57.340 if a white person
00:36:59.100 was hidden
00:37:00.320 behind a wall?
00:37:02.060 Would they have
00:37:02.780 said,
00:37:03.080 hold your fire,
00:37:04.100 hold your fire,
00:37:05.240 just let this guy
00:37:06.060 shoot at us
00:37:06.780 because there might
00:37:08.100 be a white person
00:37:08.920 on the other
00:37:09.380 side of the wall?
00:37:11.420 Or would they
00:37:12.140 have said,
00:37:13.180 oh,
00:37:13.400 hold on,
00:37:14.040 hold on,
00:37:14.400 the person
00:37:14.860 who's shooting
00:37:15.380 at us
00:37:15.800 at close range
00:37:16.760 that we think
00:37:18.680 might be a drug
00:37:19.340 dealer but we
00:37:20.000 don't know,
00:37:21.140 he's white,
00:37:21.940 it's okay,
00:37:22.500 it's okay guys,
00:37:23.980 yeah,
00:37:24.200 he's shooting
00:37:24.620 at us,
00:37:25.040 ow,
00:37:25.500 ow,
00:37:26.300 I got shot
00:37:27.040 in the leg
00:37:27.500 but don't
00:37:28.080 return the fire,
00:37:29.100 do you see,
00:37:29.480 he's a white guy,
00:37:30.780 everybody,
00:37:32.000 don't shoot,
00:37:32.840 he's a white guy,
00:37:34.300 would that happen?
00:37:37.400 What do you have
00:37:39.040 to do to your brain
00:37:40.140 to imagine
00:37:41.000 that police
00:37:41.820 don't return fire
00:37:43.240 to white people?
00:37:46.060 Or is the argument
00:37:47.400 they wouldn't have
00:37:48.080 shot as many rounds?
00:37:50.700 Now let me ask you this,
00:37:52.440 given that the guy
00:37:53.420 who had the gun
00:37:54.320 apparently never got,
00:37:56.660 I don't think
00:37:57.500 he even got shot,
00:37:58.440 right?
00:37:59.280 Correct me if I'm wrong
00:38:00.200 but I don't think
00:38:00.760 he was even wounded.
00:38:02.120 If the guy
00:38:02.920 who has the gun
00:38:03.980 is still with the gun
00:38:06.600 and he's still
00:38:07.960 not subdued
00:38:09.100 because he was alive
00:38:10.000 and he still had his gun,
00:38:12.040 how many bullets
00:38:13.260 is the right number
00:38:14.240 to shoot
00:38:14.760 in that direction?
00:38:16.080 Now one of the cops
00:38:17.040 apparently did
00:38:17.960 something reckless
00:38:18.900 that is its own
00:38:20.340 situation,
00:38:21.340 but his reckless
00:38:24.020 endangerment
00:38:24.720 had to do with
00:38:25.400 neighbors' apartments,
00:38:27.280 not even what was
00:38:28.320 happening in that room.
00:38:30.260 So should you stop
00:38:32.240 at say four bullets
00:38:34.080 if you're the police
00:38:35.160 when there's an armed man
00:38:37.280 who just shot at you
00:38:38.320 who is still alive,
00:38:40.080 still has his gun
00:38:41.040 and he's still in the room?
00:38:43.660 He's in the room.
00:38:45.580 Are you going to stop shooting
00:38:47.260 until you know
00:38:48.520 that guy is subdued?
00:38:52.340 Is 10 enough?
00:38:54.300 I mean,
00:38:54.640 I would have shot
00:38:55.180 about 25.
00:38:56.640 I mean,
00:38:56.860 I can't,
00:38:57.560 I don't see any way
00:38:58.900 to understand
00:39:00.140 this situation
00:39:01.120 as a racial situation.
00:39:03.480 I just don't see anything.
00:39:05.660 But,
00:39:06.540 is it true
00:39:07.580 that
00:39:09.120 the Van Jones,
00:39:12.400 let's say he,
00:39:14.220 I want to use
00:39:15.120 the right word here,
00:39:16.280 is it true
00:39:16.840 that he's processing it
00:39:18.220 as a genuine
00:39:19.200 racial event?
00:39:20.360 I think so
00:39:21.880 because he looked
00:39:23.180 completely sincere.
00:39:25.920 So what do you do
00:39:26.840 about that?
00:39:27.820 What do you do
00:39:28.400 about the fact
00:39:29.180 that it's not just
00:39:30.680 liars and advocates
00:39:32.500 and political people
00:39:34.080 who are claiming
00:39:35.360 this is a racial tragedy?
00:39:38.420 What do you do
00:39:39.180 when people
00:39:39.620 who are actually sincere,
00:39:41.840 completely well-informed,
00:39:44.280 smart,
00:39:44.800 smart,
00:39:46.580 well-informed,
00:39:48.140 well-intentioned,
00:39:49.680 has all the information,
00:39:52.380 still thinks it's racial?
00:39:53.780 What do you do
00:39:54.240 with that?
00:39:55.740 What do you do
00:39:56.720 with that?
00:39:57.700 I don't know.
00:40:00.700 So,
00:40:01.300 but,
00:40:03.200 I think we ought
00:40:04.840 to think about that.
00:40:06.060 and I think
00:40:07.740 that this,
00:40:09.300 it feels to me
00:40:11.000 like
00:40:12.860 the unstated,
00:40:15.440 there's sort of
00:40:16.080 an unstated thing here,
00:40:17.340 that there's
00:40:17.800 sort of a
00:40:18.720 revenge element.
00:40:21.020 In other words,
00:40:21.580 I feel as if
00:40:22.640 that,
00:40:23.920 you know,
00:40:24.520 some segment
00:40:25.540 of the black population,
00:40:27.160 not all,
00:40:27.920 of course,
00:40:28.600 but some segment
00:40:29.460 of the black population
00:40:30.500 just wants
00:40:31.980 something like revenge
00:40:33.580 against white people.
00:40:36.820 And,
00:40:37.600 I don't think
00:40:38.580 it's based
00:40:39.040 on a specific thing,
00:40:40.820 rather,
00:40:41.480 it's a collection
00:40:42.480 of grievances
00:40:43.700 that,
00:40:44.740 you know,
00:40:44.900 if you add them all up,
00:40:47.180 gets us to this place.
00:40:49.160 So,
00:40:50.540 I think we,
00:40:51.840 we need to call it
00:40:52.780 what it is,
00:40:54.160 which is some kind
00:40:55.500 of revenge-y
00:40:56.400 kind of emotion.
00:40:59.640 All right,
00:41:00.220 here's what Biden said.
00:41:03.580 Now,
00:41:04.120 remember,
00:41:04.760 Biden is,
00:41:06.960 he's the adult
00:41:09.320 in the room,
00:41:09.900 right?
00:41:10.600 So,
00:41:11.160 if there's a right
00:41:12.120 thing to say,
00:41:13.220 something that will
00:41:14.120 calm down,
00:41:15.300 you know,
00:41:15.620 people's emotions,
00:41:16.960 you'd expect
00:41:17.700 Biden to say it,
00:41:19.100 because that's
00:41:19.620 his whole brand.
00:41:21.120 So,
00:41:21.360 let's see what he said
00:41:22.140 about it.
00:41:22.920 He said,
00:41:23.380 quote,
00:41:23.640 in the wake
00:41:24.140 of her tragic death,
00:41:26.200 we mourn
00:41:27.020 with her mother
00:41:27.940 and family,
00:41:28.640 okay,
00:41:29.120 so far so good,
00:41:30.740 and I would say
00:41:32.480 that Trump
00:41:32.960 should have done
00:41:33.500 that too.
00:41:34.540 So,
00:41:34.880 I would say
00:41:35.260 if you were to
00:41:35.780 compare a Biden
00:41:36.600 statement to
00:41:38.360 anything Trump
00:41:39.180 did or did not
00:41:39.920 do,
00:41:40.420 Biden so far
00:41:41.280 is winning,
00:41:42.880 because,
00:41:43.380 you know,
00:41:44.380 giving,
00:41:45.920 giving,
00:41:47.140 giving thought
00:41:50.200 and attention
00:41:50.860 and respect
00:41:51.860 to the family
00:41:52.640 is just always
00:41:53.860 a good thing
00:41:54.300 to do,
00:41:54.960 right?
00:41:55.400 So,
00:41:56.060 so good,
00:41:56.880 good on Biden
00:41:57.520 for starting
00:41:58.120 that way.
00:41:58.740 Everybody should
00:41:59.320 do that.
00:42:00.700 If I didn't
00:42:01.440 do that,
00:42:02.100 that was my
00:42:02.640 mistake as well,
00:42:03.520 because we always
00:42:04.520 think about the
00:42:05.000 families,
00:42:05.600 you know,
00:42:05.900 they didn't do
00:42:06.300 anything,
00:42:07.180 and Breonna Taylor
00:42:08.320 didn't do anything
00:42:09.020 to deserve
00:42:11.480 getting shot.
00:42:12.860 But then he goes
00:42:13.680 on,
00:42:14.060 he goes,
00:42:14.660 and we ask
00:42:15.520 ourselves whether
00:42:16.240 justice could be
00:42:17.320 equally applied
00:42:18.140 in America.
00:42:19.160 What?
00:42:21.040 We ask ourselves
00:42:22.440 whether justice
00:42:23.280 could be equally
00:42:24.400 applied in America.
00:42:25.440 In other words,
00:42:27.940 even Joe Biden
00:42:29.060 is not willing
00:42:30.020 to say in public
00:42:31.060 that this was
00:42:32.400 a racial event.
00:42:34.480 Because if he was
00:42:35.580 willing to say it,
00:42:36.960 well,
00:42:37.260 you know he'd say it.
00:42:39.080 Why would he not
00:42:40.040 say it?
00:42:40.920 If,
00:42:41.360 you know,
00:42:41.740 if the entire
00:42:42.380 Democratic field
00:42:43.940 thinks this was
00:42:44.960 a racial thing,
00:42:46.200 of course he would
00:42:46.940 say it,
00:42:47.380 if he thought
00:42:47.840 it was true.
00:42:48.700 But I'm going
00:42:49.420 to give Biden
00:42:50.040 some credit here,
00:42:51.300 and I always
00:42:52.800 think this is
00:42:53.320 useful to do.
00:42:55.440 it's useful
00:42:56.820 to give credit
00:42:58.800 to,
00:42:59.940 you know,
00:43:00.280 an opposition
00:43:00.980 character
00:43:01.580 for anything
00:43:02.740 they do good.
00:43:04.320 Because it makes
00:43:05.040 you seem more
00:43:05.580 credible that way.
00:43:06.820 I think
00:43:07.260 it's good
00:43:08.920 that he,
00:43:09.640 you know,
00:43:10.400 cared about the
00:43:11.080 empathy for the
00:43:11.740 family first,
00:43:12.540 and I think
00:43:13.280 it's good
00:43:15.060 that he did not
00:43:15.860 say it was
00:43:16.320 a racial murder.
00:43:18.340 He could have.
00:43:19.620 He could have
00:43:20.160 just gone full
00:43:21.080 Al Sharpton,
00:43:22.640 right?
00:43:23.340 He could have
00:43:24.060 done that.
00:43:24.600 And I think
00:43:25.640 that would have
00:43:26.040 been really
00:43:26.640 bad for the
00:43:27.560 country,
00:43:28.040 and he didn't.
00:43:29.520 And it might
00:43:30.160 have even
00:43:30.500 helped him
00:43:31.120 politically.
00:43:32.920 You know,
00:43:33.080 it might have
00:43:33.400 actually been
00:43:33.920 a little bit
00:43:35.020 of an advantage.
00:43:35.860 So I'm going
00:43:36.260 to give Biden
00:43:36.740 credit,
00:43:37.420 because he
00:43:37.860 wasn't willing
00:43:38.840 to tell a
00:43:39.440 direct lie,
00:43:40.740 even one that
00:43:41.900 might have
00:43:42.140 helped him
00:43:42.440 a little bit.
00:43:43.880 But he did
00:43:45.320 say,
00:43:45.760 we have to
00:43:46.080 ask ourselves
00:43:46.720 whether justice
00:43:47.500 could be
00:43:47.940 equally applied
00:43:48.680 in America,
00:43:49.240 America,
00:43:49.960 which implies
00:43:51.520 that maybe
00:43:56.600 it didn't
00:43:56.960 happen here.
00:43:58.720 So Biden
00:44:00.160 is making
00:44:00.820 it racial
00:44:01.480 while
00:44:02.600 essentially
00:44:03.620 admitting by
00:44:04.400 not calling
00:44:05.060 it racial
00:44:05.560 that it
00:44:06.320 wasn't.
00:44:07.320 He found
00:44:08.000 a way to
00:44:08.540 make it
00:44:08.940 racial at
00:44:10.140 the same
00:44:10.540 time he
00:44:11.340 called it
00:44:11.880 basically
00:44:12.640 not racial.
00:44:13.280 So that
00:44:15.620 was kind
00:44:15.960 of a
00:44:16.200 weasel
00:44:16.540 thing to
00:44:16.960 do.
00:44:17.540 I would
00:44:17.920 say on
00:44:18.480 net,
00:44:19.600 this was
00:44:20.540 disastrously
00:44:21.560 bad for
00:44:22.100 the country.
00:44:23.500 So Biden,
00:44:24.480 I think this
00:44:25.400 is net
00:44:25.800 negative,
00:44:26.960 because just
00:44:27.860 what he
00:44:28.900 should have
00:44:29.240 said,
00:44:30.500 if he had
00:44:31.540 only cared
00:44:32.160 about what's
00:44:32.660 good for
00:44:33.040 America,
00:44:34.020 he would
00:44:34.560 have said
00:44:34.940 tragic death,
00:44:35.900 we're thinking
00:44:36.260 about the
00:44:36.720 family,
00:44:37.840 but let's
00:44:38.440 not turn
00:44:40.160 this into
00:44:40.660 something.
00:44:41.240 We have
00:44:41.500 enough real
00:44:42.000 problems.
00:44:42.520 Let's
00:44:43.440 just deal
00:44:43.840 with this
00:44:44.160 as a
00:44:44.460 tragedy,
00:44:45.320 see if
00:44:45.700 we can
00:44:46.020 come
00:44:46.240 together.
00:44:47.500 That would
00:44:48.020 have been
00:44:48.220 useful.
00:44:49.880 But no,
00:44:50.740 he didn't
00:44:51.120 decide not
00:44:51.720 to do
00:44:52.000 that.
00:44:52.980 There's
00:44:53.420 confirmation
00:44:53.940 now,
00:44:54.740 as I
00:44:55.040 told you,
00:44:55.600 remember I
00:44:55.960 told you
00:44:56.240 that one
00:44:56.580 of the
00:44:57.440 hoaxes
00:44:58.560 about
00:44:58.900 Biden
00:44:59.360 was the
00:45:00.000 hoax
00:45:00.300 that he
00:45:00.800 was reading
00:45:01.360 his answers
00:45:01.980 from a
00:45:02.420 teleprompter,
00:45:03.580 the answers
00:45:04.280 to interview
00:45:04.980 questions,
00:45:05.840 and I
00:45:06.400 told you,
00:45:06.960 no,
00:45:07.320 that
00:45:07.480 teleprompter
00:45:08.380 was where
00:45:08.940 there was
00:45:09.240 somebody
00:45:09.640 who was
00:45:10.560 asking a
00:45:11.160 question,
00:45:11.980 you know,
00:45:12.160 a citizen
00:45:12.660 asking you
00:45:13.220 a question
00:45:13.620 and something
00:45:14.700 got cut
00:45:15.160 off on
00:45:15.540 that.
00:45:17.460 It wasn't
00:45:18.020 his answer
00:45:19.500 that got
00:45:19.880 cut off,
00:45:20.360 it was the
00:45:20.740 question that
00:45:21.200 got cut off.
00:45:22.600 And sure
00:45:23.060 enough,
00:45:23.520 the fact
00:45:24.060 checkers have
00:45:24.680 confirmed that
00:45:25.460 today,
00:45:25.940 that's exactly
00:45:26.660 what it was.
00:45:27.960 So if you
00:45:28.980 did not
00:45:29.580 know that
00:45:30.580 was a hoax
00:45:31.200 from the
00:45:31.880 first moment,
00:45:33.860 adjust your
00:45:34.620 filter.
00:45:35.660 Because I
00:45:36.500 knew that
00:45:36.860 was a hoax
00:45:37.840 from moment
00:45:38.560 one,
00:45:39.000 it was just
00:45:39.360 obvious.
00:45:39.680 so adjust
00:45:41.140 your filters.
00:45:43.720 Here's
00:45:44.240 one.
00:45:45.160 So I
00:45:45.700 said yesterday
00:45:46.380 that the
00:45:47.300 Hunter Biden
00:45:47.940 stuff looked
00:45:49.340 like a
00:45:49.820 whole bunch
00:45:50.200 of smoke,
00:45:50.920 but maybe
00:45:51.400 there wouldn't
00:45:51.900 be any
00:45:52.520 fire in
00:45:53.500 the specific
00:45:54.780 sense of
00:45:55.460 something
00:45:55.900 illegal.
00:45:57.900 Now,
00:45:58.680 there's a
00:45:59.660 whole bunch
00:46:00.340 of stuff
00:46:00.760 that looks
00:46:01.280 swampy.
00:46:02.660 There's a
00:46:03.200 whole bunch
00:46:03.880 of stuff
00:46:04.260 that looks
00:46:04.680 really,
00:46:05.340 really bad.
00:46:06.680 Really,
00:46:07.280 really bad.
00:46:07.760 Like,
00:46:08.560 as bad
00:46:09.080 as something
00:46:09.580 can look,
00:46:10.600 that's how
00:46:11.040 bad it
00:46:11.420 looks.
00:46:12.160 So I
00:46:13.220 think I
00:46:13.580 may have
00:46:13.900 misled you
00:46:14.740 yesterday
00:46:15.220 when I
00:46:17.400 was saying
00:46:17.800 that there
00:46:19.140 was a lot
00:46:19.520 of nothing
00:46:19.920 to this
00:46:20.360 recent
00:46:20.960 Hunter Biden
00:46:22.320 story.
00:46:23.320 There were
00:46:23.940 details,
00:46:24.540 but they
00:46:24.740 didn't really
00:46:25.060 change what
00:46:25.720 you thought
00:46:26.040 of anything,
00:46:26.620 and it
00:46:26.820 didn't look
00:46:27.180 like any
00:46:27.540 of it was
00:46:27.980 necessarily
00:46:28.660 illegal,
00:46:29.840 and was
00:46:30.440 not even
00:46:30.860 alleged to
00:46:31.340 be illegal,
00:46:31.960 as far
00:46:32.200 as I
00:46:32.420 know.
00:46:33.400 But
00:46:33.640 swampy.
00:46:34.720 Here,
00:46:35.260 let me
00:46:35.580 give you
00:46:35.960 a specific
00:46:36.880 example.
00:46:37.340 So one
00:46:38.180 of the
00:46:38.560 several
00:46:39.020 allegations
00:46:39.580 is that
00:46:40.820 Hunter's
00:46:41.360 investment
00:46:41.800 company
00:46:42.320 got $3.5
00:46:43.700 million from
00:46:44.620 the ex-wife
00:46:45.420 of Moscow's
00:46:46.380 mayor.
00:46:47.220 Now,
00:46:47.760 any mayor
00:46:48.520 of Moscow,
00:46:49.560 duh,
00:46:50.140 is going
00:46:50.520 to be an
00:46:50.940 ally of
00:46:51.680 Putin.
00:46:52.480 That's a
00:46:53.320 given,
00:46:53.680 right?
00:46:54.360 Any ex-wife
00:46:55.700 of an
00:46:56.740 ally of
00:46:57.280 Putin,
00:46:58.180 probably an
00:46:58.980 ally of
00:46:59.440 Putin.
00:47:00.180 She is
00:47:00.800 also,
00:47:01.280 I believe,
00:47:01.700 the richest
00:47:02.200 woman in
00:47:03.600 Russia,
00:47:05.100 probably an
00:47:05.980 ally of
00:47:06.440 Putin.
00:47:06.660 All right,
00:47:07.720 so someone
00:47:08.160 who I
00:47:09.120 think we
00:47:09.620 could agree,
00:47:10.540 it seems
00:47:11.220 beyond doubt,
00:47:13.440 that she
00:47:13.860 would be
00:47:14.220 an ally
00:47:14.720 of Putin,
00:47:16.180 and it's
00:47:17.500 reported that
00:47:18.100 she gave
00:47:18.560 Hunter Biden
00:47:19.280 $3.5
00:47:20.120 million.
00:47:21.380 But is
00:47:21.960 that exactly
00:47:22.540 what happened?
00:47:23.720 Or,
00:47:24.760 did she
00:47:25.160 move $3.5
00:47:26.240 million into
00:47:27.240 his investment
00:47:28.120 company?
00:47:29.200 In other
00:47:29.640 words,
00:47:30.000 it's not
00:47:30.400 Hunter Biden's
00:47:31.220 money,
00:47:32.300 it would be
00:47:32.860 money that
00:47:33.320 he would be
00:47:33.880 investing because
00:47:35.020 he's an
00:47:35.420 investor.
00:47:35.780 Now,
00:47:36.440 again,
00:47:36.920 totally swampy,
00:47:38.400 I'm not
00:47:38.800 saying any
00:47:39.200 of that's
00:47:39.460 good,
00:47:40.520 but would
00:47:41.420 it be
00:47:41.880 illegal for
00:47:43.840 an investment
00:47:44.520 company to
00:47:45.860 take an
00:47:46.360 investment from
00:47:47.920 somebody who
00:47:48.620 has legal
00:47:49.480 money?
00:47:50.200 Because I
00:47:50.840 think all
00:47:51.180 their money
00:47:51.480 is legal,
00:47:52.660 right?
00:47:53.660 If she,
00:47:56.100 well,
00:47:56.580 hold on,
00:47:57.380 if it's an
00:47:58.000 investment,
00:47:59.120 it's money
00:47:59.600 she's putting
00:48:00.140 in,
00:48:00.880 which she
00:48:01.320 would later
00:48:01.720 withdraw.
00:48:02.100 I believe
00:48:03.820 it's being
00:48:04.320 reported,
00:48:05.260 and I'll
00:48:05.480 need some
00:48:05.840 fact-checking
00:48:06.500 on this
00:48:06.820 because I
00:48:07.160 might be
00:48:07.440 a little,
00:48:08.380 I might
00:48:09.000 miss a
00:48:09.380 fact,
00:48:10.700 but I
00:48:11.100 believe that
00:48:12.700 it is
00:48:13.020 reported like
00:48:13.840 he got
00:48:14.560 $3.5
00:48:15.320 million,
00:48:15.900 like she
00:48:16.420 wrote a
00:48:16.780 check to
00:48:17.120 Hunter Biden.
00:48:18.200 I don't
00:48:18.620 think that's
00:48:19.220 what happened.
00:48:20.440 I think she
00:48:21.080 invested $3.5
00:48:22.660 million,
00:48:23.520 of which,
00:48:24.740 if that's what
00:48:25.240 happened,
00:48:25.660 his investment
00:48:26.220 company would
00:48:26.860 get the
00:48:28.040 1 or 2%
00:48:29.220 whatever from
00:48:30.000 that,
00:48:30.680 which would
00:48:31.480 be kind
00:48:31.860 of a
00:48:32.080 small deal.
00:48:35.060 Yeah,
00:48:35.700 if it had
00:48:36.100 been a
00:48:36.380 payment,
00:48:37.180 that's as
00:48:38.180 swampy as
00:48:38.720 you can get,
00:48:39.440 that would
00:48:39.660 obviously be
00:48:40.300 a red flag,
00:48:41.420 but an
00:48:41.800 investment?
00:48:43.400 Now let me
00:48:44.100 ask you
00:48:44.400 this,
00:48:45.800 if any
00:48:46.620 billionaire
00:48:47.760 Russian
00:48:48.640 invests in
00:48:49.740 your investment
00:48:50.660 company,
00:48:52.320 are you
00:48:53.400 guilty of
00:48:53.940 something?
00:48:55.120 Let's say
00:48:55.920 you're an
00:48:58.120 investment
00:48:58.600 company,
00:48:59.140 you just
00:49:00.260 take
00:49:00.720 investments,
00:49:01.640 you don't
00:49:01.980 care where
00:49:02.360 they come
00:49:02.700 from,
00:49:03.440 they could
00:49:03.860 come from
00:49:04.780 South America,
00:49:07.780 they could
00:49:08.060 come from
00:49:08.500 Russia,
00:49:09.320 and some
00:49:09.800 Russian
00:49:10.180 billionaire,
00:49:11.460 who of
00:49:12.280 course is
00:49:12.880 allied with
00:49:13.580 Putin,
00:49:14.160 because I
00:49:14.440 don't think
00:49:14.760 you can be
00:49:15.200 a billionaire
00:49:15.600 and not
00:49:16.660 get poisoned
00:49:17.200 unless you
00:49:18.540 support him,
00:49:19.760 so some
00:49:20.380 billionaire
00:49:20.780 puts money
00:49:22.360 into your
00:49:22.740 investment
00:49:23.100 fund.
00:49:23.880 Are you
00:49:24.200 guilty?
00:49:25.240 Are you
00:49:25.980 guilty for
00:49:27.560 a legal
00:49:28.520 free
00:49:29.680 citizen
00:49:30.160 who wants
00:49:31.460 to invest
00:49:32.100 in your
00:49:32.920 business
00:49:33.420 and they
00:49:34.140 put money
00:49:34.520 there?
00:49:36.420 Somebody
00:49:37.060 says it
00:49:37.580 was wired
00:49:38.040 to his
00:49:38.780 account.
00:49:39.500 What does
00:49:39.940 his account
00:49:40.700 mean?
00:49:42.080 If it
00:49:42.940 turned out
00:49:43.600 that she
00:49:46.160 just gave
00:49:46.600 him $3.5
00:49:47.440 million and
00:49:48.300 it's
00:49:48.520 unexplained,
00:49:50.140 well that
00:49:50.760 would be as
00:49:51.520 bad as it
00:49:52.080 could be,
00:49:52.460 right?
00:49:52.600 And do
00:49:55.120 you think
00:49:55.660 that they
00:49:57.020 would allow
00:49:57.640 a digital
00:49:58.780 record,
00:49:59.640 a wire
00:50:00.080 transfer of
00:50:01.040 that big
00:50:01.480 of a
00:50:01.800 bribe?
00:50:03.420 It seems
00:50:04.180 like bad
00:50:05.180 bribery
00:50:06.200 method.
00:50:07.640 If you
00:50:08.300 were going
00:50:08.560 to do
00:50:08.820 something
00:50:09.160 illegal,
00:50:09.880 wouldn't
00:50:10.080 you send
00:50:10.440 some
00:50:10.680 Bitcoin?
00:50:12.000 Let me
00:50:12.540 ask you
00:50:12.900 this.
00:50:15.400 If it
00:50:16.080 had been
00:50:16.440 a pure
00:50:16.980 bribe,
00:50:17.700 wouldn't
00:50:17.980 they just
00:50:18.320 send
00:50:18.520 Bitcoin?
00:50:18.900 Bitcoin.
00:50:21.320 Anybody
00:50:21.840 who bribes
00:50:22.660 with a
00:50:23.400 wire transfer
00:50:24.140 is not
00:50:24.660 good at
00:50:25.000 bribing,
00:50:26.160 in my
00:50:26.560 opinion,
00:50:27.180 because you
00:50:27.640 got a
00:50:27.900 digital record
00:50:28.500 there.
00:50:29.840 All right.
00:50:30.580 Yeah,
00:50:31.000 like donating
00:50:31.600 to the
00:50:32.000 Clinton
00:50:32.200 Foundation.
00:50:33.360 So,
00:50:33.940 while nobody
00:50:35.040 is happy
00:50:35.580 with the
00:50:36.180 situation
00:50:36.780 that
00:50:37.800 Russians
00:50:39.880 might be
00:50:40.360 influencing
00:50:40.820 Hunter
00:50:41.200 Biden,
00:50:41.760 et cetera,
00:50:42.840 so let
00:50:44.540 me summarize
00:50:45.380 this by
00:50:45.940 saying,
00:50:47.000 probably the
00:50:47.900 way it's
00:50:48.300 being reported
00:50:48.880 is completely
00:50:49.760 misleading.
00:50:51.300 That doesn't
00:50:52.420 mean he
00:50:53.660 didn't do
00:50:54.240 terrible
00:50:54.680 things.
00:50:55.840 Okay?
00:50:56.380 So can we
00:50:57.020 separate those?
00:50:59.020 After this
00:50:59.860 is done,
00:51:00.460 since I
00:51:00.900 know how
00:51:01.800 this works,
00:51:02.840 people are
00:51:03.280 going to
00:51:03.460 come to
00:51:03.780 me immediately
00:51:04.340 after this
00:51:04.900 periscope and
00:51:05.500 say,
00:51:06.080 Scott,
00:51:06.680 how can
00:51:07.220 you say
00:51:07.620 Hunter did
00:51:08.400 nothing wrong?
00:51:09.380 And I'll
00:51:09.720 go,
00:51:10.060 ah,
00:51:10.820 I didn't
00:51:11.660 say that.
00:51:12.920 I didn't
00:51:13.620 say he
00:51:14.000 did nothing
00:51:14.480 wrong.
00:51:15.740 I said,
00:51:16.260 I don't
00:51:16.480 know.
00:51:16.820 At least
00:51:19.120 in terms
00:51:19.540 of legally
00:51:20.360 wrong,
00:51:20.800 I don't
00:51:21.040 know.
00:51:22.960 Swampy?
00:51:23.620 Of course.
00:51:25.060 Was it
00:51:25.880 inappropriate,
00:51:26.760 in my
00:51:27.020 opinion?
00:51:27.460 Of course.
00:51:28.700 Is it
00:51:29.560 sketchy?
00:51:30.940 Of course.
00:51:32.360 So don't
00:51:33.020 act like I
00:51:34.220 don't know
00:51:34.600 it's sketchy,
00:51:35.240 okay?
00:51:35.920 All right.
00:51:37.880 Here's something
00:51:38.680 that somebody
00:51:39.240 said that
00:51:40.060 sounded smart
00:51:40.780 to me.
00:51:41.200 the president
00:51:42.540 is being
00:51:43.400 criticized
00:51:44.060 again for
00:51:44.940 saying that
00:51:45.520 the COVID,
00:51:47.300 the coronavirus
00:51:47.900 will just
00:51:49.400 die out.
00:51:50.300 So he
00:51:50.700 said it in
00:51:51.360 the past.
00:51:51.940 I think he
00:51:52.300 has renewed
00:51:52.960 saying it
00:51:53.560 that at
00:51:53.840 some point
00:51:54.260 it will
00:51:54.580 just die
00:51:54.960 out.
00:51:55.740 Now,
00:51:56.400 the experts
00:51:56.980 say,
00:51:57.860 you fool.
00:51:59.440 It's not
00:51:59.880 just going
00:52:00.280 to die
00:52:00.600 out.
00:52:01.520 And then
00:52:02.160 somebody
00:52:02.560 said this,
00:52:04.200 the Spanish
00:52:04.780 flu died
00:52:05.300 out.
00:52:07.400 Right?
00:52:08.400 Why did
00:52:09.120 the Spanish
00:52:09.600 flu die
00:52:10.140 out?
00:52:11.200 It wasn't
00:52:11.880 because of
00:52:12.340 herd immunity.
00:52:14.580 Do you
00:52:15.280 know why
00:52:15.860 the Spanish
00:52:16.840 flu died
00:52:18.520 out?
00:52:19.460 And the
00:52:19.920 answer is
00:52:20.440 nope.
00:52:22.220 Nobody
00:52:22.860 knows.
00:52:24.160 So would
00:52:25.120 you bet
00:52:25.620 against
00:52:26.140 this flu,
00:52:28.260 the coronavirus,
00:52:29.280 would you
00:52:29.620 bet against
00:52:30.200 this just
00:52:31.640 dying out?
00:52:33.960 Given that
00:52:34.920 the Spanish
00:52:35.600 flu just
00:52:36.480 sort of
00:52:37.080 died out?
00:52:38.240 Now,
00:52:38.440 I don't
00:52:38.600 know,
00:52:38.820 maybe we
00:52:40.100 know something
00:52:40.800 about the
00:52:41.300 Spanish
00:52:41.620 flu that
00:52:42.080 makes it
00:52:42.420 different?
00:52:43.680 I don't
00:52:43.980 know.
00:52:47.100 But I
00:52:48.800 wouldn't bet
00:52:49.340 against
00:52:50.020 Trump on
00:52:51.660 saying that
00:52:52.180 it might
00:52:52.480 die out,
00:52:53.080 and we
00:52:53.300 might not
00:52:54.020 know why,
00:52:54.700 it might
00:52:54.980 just die
00:52:55.380 out.
00:52:55.860 It just
00:52:56.240 won't do
00:52:56.560 it as
00:52:56.800 fast as
00:52:57.220 we want
00:52:57.560 it to.
00:52:59.700 There is
00:53:00.300 a Jerry
00:53:00.940 Nadler
00:53:01.520 video that
00:53:03.480 you'll see
00:53:03.920 on Twitter.
00:53:05.920 And I'm
00:53:06.720 not going
00:53:07.080 to describe
00:53:07.700 the video.
00:53:09.200 I'm just
00:53:09.640 going to
00:53:09.880 say that
00:53:10.540 there's
00:53:11.700 something
00:53:12.040 deeply
00:53:12.500 wrong with
00:53:13.060 his health.
00:53:15.120 And as
00:53:17.380 much as I
00:53:17.920 don't like
00:53:18.440 Jerry Nadler
00:53:19.320 or what he's
00:53:20.140 done to the
00:53:20.720 country,
00:53:22.460 whatever is
00:53:24.220 happening on
00:53:24.920 that video
00:53:25.500 with his
00:53:26.060 health is
00:53:26.900 not funny.
00:53:28.520 It's just
00:53:29.640 not funny.
00:53:31.100 So I'm
00:53:34.480 not going
00:53:35.200 to retweet
00:53:35.960 that,
00:53:36.640 and I'm
00:53:37.000 not going
00:53:37.580 to describe
00:53:38.360 it further.
00:53:39.680 It's really
00:53:40.940 disturbing.
00:53:41.860 It's very
00:53:42.300 disturbing,
00:53:42.880 actually.
00:53:43.640 And I
00:53:43.980 hope he's
00:53:44.580 getting the
00:53:45.480 help he
00:53:45.760 needs.
00:53:49.400 Joy Reid
00:53:50.460 asked this
00:53:51.320 question,
00:53:52.660 and it's
00:53:54.020 just a
00:53:54.320 head shaker.
00:53:54.940 So this is
00:53:55.320 on Twitter.
00:53:56.040 She says,
00:53:56.920 genuine
00:53:57.160 question.
00:53:58.720 What will
00:53:59.200 be the
00:53:59.500 relationship
00:54:00.000 between the
00:54:00.580 majority of
00:54:01.260 Americans and
00:54:02.420 Trumpists after
00:54:03.840 this long
00:54:04.460 national nightmare
00:54:05.320 ends?
00:54:06.260 And it will
00:54:06.780 eventually end.
00:54:07.960 Do people
00:54:08.480 anticipate simply
00:54:09.660 letting bygones
00:54:10.700 be bygones with
00:54:11.760 people who
00:54:12.280 joined the
00:54:13.020 Trump personality
00:54:14.060 cult?
00:54:15.680 Now that is
00:54:16.420 chilling,
00:54:17.420 isn't it?
00:54:18.400 Because what it
00:54:19.500 sounds like is
00:54:20.840 that whenever
00:54:22.360 Trump is out
00:54:23.140 of office,
00:54:24.260 that they
00:54:24.820 plan to
00:54:25.920 retaliate in
00:54:27.460 some way for
00:54:28.980 people who
00:54:29.500 just wanted
00:54:30.780 better judges
00:54:31.580 and lower
00:54:32.140 taxes.
00:54:32.980 They're
00:54:33.380 actually going
00:54:33.860 to retaliate
00:54:34.940 for political
00:54:36.620 preference.
00:54:38.860 That is so
00:54:39.920 far over the
00:54:40.600 line.
00:54:42.620 Does Joy
00:54:43.060 Reid not
00:54:43.780 know how
00:54:45.220 dangerous it
00:54:45.980 is to say
00:54:46.500 stuff like
00:54:46.980 this?
00:54:47.540 Here's what
00:54:48.120 she should
00:54:48.580 have said if
00:54:49.740 she wanted
00:54:50.100 to be a
00:54:50.640 positive
00:54:51.000 force.
00:54:52.480 Positive
00:54:53.080 force would
00:54:53.660 be, you
00:54:54.860 know, in the
00:54:55.280 end we'll
00:54:55.680 always come
00:54:56.160 together because
00:54:56.820 we're America
00:54:57.360 first.
00:54:58.620 How about
00:54:58.940 that?
00:55:00.040 How about
00:55:00.780 let's come
00:55:01.540 together over
00:55:02.220 our common
00:55:02.880 humanity?
00:55:04.900 How about
00:55:05.240 that?
00:55:06.020 That'd be
00:55:06.360 good.
00:55:07.140 But when you
00:55:07.660 put this idea
00:55:08.520 into the
00:55:09.060 public that
00:55:10.180 maybe we
00:55:10.800 shouldn't let
00:55:11.460 bygones be
00:55:12.240 bygones,
00:55:13.000 because that's
00:55:13.340 really the
00:55:13.760 suggestion.
00:55:14.860 The suggestion
00:55:15.480 is that
00:55:16.560 anybody who
00:55:17.180 supported this
00:55:18.040 Republican
00:55:18.580 president has
00:55:20.520 to explain it
00:55:21.500 forever and
00:55:23.120 that it's a
00:55:23.540 permanent stain on
00:55:24.480 your life.
00:55:25.220 That is the
00:55:26.000 most un-American
00:55:26.920 thing I've
00:55:28.840 heard in a
00:55:29.180 long time.
00:55:30.720 So I think
00:55:34.080 that whoever
00:55:34.520 employs Joy
00:55:35.860 Reid has
00:55:36.900 some explaining
00:55:37.560 to do.
00:55:38.740 Because this
00:55:39.760 is just
00:55:40.100 clearly a
00:55:40.820 bad influence
00:55:42.840 on America.
00:55:44.120 And when you
00:55:44.660 put something
00:55:45.460 this corrosive
00:55:46.560 into the
00:55:47.080 public and
00:55:48.980 you do it
00:55:49.400 intentionally,
00:55:50.380 you're just
00:55:51.320 not a good
00:55:51.760 person.
00:55:54.280 Here's
00:55:54.820 something that
00:55:55.280 surprised me.
00:55:57.060 Rasmussen did
00:55:57.900 a poll on
00:55:58.860 whether people
00:55:59.500 believe that
00:56:00.840 the forest
00:56:01.440 fires, let's
00:56:02.520 say the
00:56:02.840 California forest
00:56:03.660 fires and the
00:56:04.240 ones in the
00:56:04.880 West in
00:56:05.320 particular,
00:56:06.660 they asked
00:56:08.120 the public
00:56:09.000 whether they
00:56:09.520 think they're
00:56:10.440 caused by
00:56:10.900 climate change
00:56:11.800 or caused
00:56:13.020 by other
00:56:13.580 factors which
00:56:14.660 would include
00:56:15.240 human as
00:56:16.200 well as other
00:56:16.800 natural factors.
00:56:18.340 What do you
00:56:18.960 think the
00:56:19.360 public thinks
00:56:20.340 about the
00:56:21.300 forest fires?
00:56:22.320 Do you
00:56:22.640 think that
00:56:23.000 they mostly
00:56:23.580 think it's
00:56:24.820 climate change
00:56:25.560 or mostly
00:56:26.580 bad forest
00:56:28.280 management,
00:56:29.140 maybe bad
00:56:29.680 luck with
00:56:30.060 lightning,
00:56:30.460 that sort
00:56:30.740 of thing?
00:56:31.760 And the
00:56:32.480 answer is
00:56:32.900 this, that
00:56:35.620 38% of
00:56:36.760 women think
00:56:37.680 climate change
00:56:38.660 is what's
00:56:39.420 the primary
00:56:40.280 driver of
00:56:41.140 the fires
00:56:41.600 and 44%
00:56:43.780 of men
00:56:44.220 think so.
00:56:45.620 So 44%
00:56:47.100 of men but
00:56:47.620 only 38%
00:56:48.800 of women.
00:56:49.540 I would say
00:56:50.000 that's a
00:56:50.400 significant
00:56:50.880 difference,
00:56:51.520 right?
00:56:52.600 Which means
00:56:53.580 that women
00:56:54.180 are better
00:56:57.780 at science
00:56:58.420 because in
00:56:59.880 this case
00:57:00.320 women have
00:57:01.040 by a fairly
00:57:02.500 healthy majority
00:57:03.360 over men,
00:57:04.740 women are
00:57:05.440 less likely
00:57:06.300 to be
00:57:07.040 duped by
00:57:08.680 the climate
00:57:09.340 change claim.
00:57:11.340 Interesting,
00:57:12.160 isn't it?
00:57:12.980 And I wonder
00:57:13.620 if this kind
00:57:14.200 of trend
00:57:14.620 will continue
00:57:16.620 to hold
00:57:17.160 over time.
00:57:17.740 and I
00:57:18.360 wouldn't be
00:57:18.740 surprised
00:57:19.300 because isn't
00:57:21.080 it true
00:57:21.440 that there
00:57:21.900 are more
00:57:22.940 women in
00:57:23.520 college than
00:57:24.200 men now,
00:57:25.000 right?
00:57:25.800 I think there
00:57:26.420 are more
00:57:26.720 women who
00:57:27.260 are lawyers
00:57:27.800 than men,
00:57:28.880 or at least
00:57:29.200 in law
00:57:29.620 school now,
00:57:30.280 not practicing.
00:57:32.820 So should
00:57:33.820 we see
00:57:34.540 eventually
00:57:35.820 further
00:57:37.100 differences
00:57:37.700 between
00:57:38.860 women's
00:57:39.820 opinions about
00:57:40.720 factual,
00:57:41.800 scientific stuff
00:57:42.720 and men's
00:57:43.620 opinions because
00:57:44.760 women will just
00:57:45.540 be better
00:57:45.920 educated.
00:57:47.680 It looks
00:57:48.340 like that's
00:57:48.740 where it's
00:57:49.020 heading because
00:57:49.920 the women
00:57:50.340 are closer
00:57:51.740 to the truth
00:57:52.360 on this.
00:57:53.520 Anyway,
00:57:53.900 those details
00:57:54.440 will come out
00:57:55.000 from Rasmussen
00:57:55.760 a little bit
00:57:57.300 later this
00:57:57.680 morning.
00:58:01.540 All right.
00:58:03.260 That is
00:58:04.540 just about
00:58:05.100 what I wanted
00:58:05.580 to talk about.
00:58:09.460 All right.
00:58:10.160 just looking
00:58:13.840 at your
00:58:14.560 situation
00:58:16.160 here.
00:58:18.700 Giant
00:58:19.260 bicycle
00:58:19.880 freeway
00:58:20.600 through the
00:58:21.060 forest.
00:58:21.700 Exactly.
00:58:22.960 Yeah,
00:58:23.360 I've been
00:58:23.640 calling for
00:58:24.100 this,
00:58:24.740 so I'll
00:58:25.840 reiterate.
00:58:27.700 In a
00:58:28.140 perfect world,
00:58:29.680 good forest
00:58:30.500 management would
00:58:31.180 put sort of
00:58:31.860 a thick
00:58:32.760 crisscross
00:58:34.260 through the
00:58:35.180 forest,
00:58:35.680 so if part
00:58:36.280 of it burns,
00:58:36.920 it'll only
00:58:37.280 burn up to
00:58:37.860 the fire
00:58:39.360 break.
00:58:40.160 And then
00:58:41.240 you use
00:58:41.720 those paths
00:58:42.460 for bike
00:58:43.220 paths.
00:58:44.260 You could
00:58:44.560 have these
00:58:44.940 amazing
00:58:45.700 California
00:58:46.800 bike paths
00:58:47.540 where you're
00:58:48.020 going through
00:58:48.660 forests and
00:58:50.340 mountains and
00:58:50.840 stuff on your
00:58:51.440 electric and
00:58:52.180 other bikes.
00:58:53.200 Could be the
00:58:54.000 coolest thing
00:58:54.660 California ever
00:58:55.500 did.
00:58:56.340 Would be an
00:58:56.920 entire new
00:58:57.860 tourism thing.
00:59:00.440 Would create a
00:59:01.320 lot of jobs
00:59:01.940 because you've
00:59:02.340 got to clear
00:59:02.820 the forest.
00:59:04.020 And then
00:59:04.320 you would
00:59:04.620 have this
00:59:06.640 incredible
00:59:07.160 super highway
00:59:08.000 of bicycle
00:59:08.640 paths
00:59:09.100 through
00:59:10.000 natural
00:59:10.620 surroundings.
00:59:11.380 It would
00:59:11.540 be amazing.
00:59:14.400 On a
00:59:15.280 different topic,
00:59:17.760 I've been
00:59:18.400 working on
00:59:19.160 sort of
00:59:20.660 mentally and
00:59:21.720 otherwise,
00:59:22.580 on how to
00:59:22.960 design a
00:59:24.020 perfect small
00:59:25.600 home that's
00:59:26.520 inexpensive.
00:59:27.920 And you
00:59:28.460 think people
00:59:29.040 have done it,
00:59:29.800 but they
00:59:30.060 haven't.
00:59:30.960 Because what
00:59:31.500 people have
00:59:31.920 done is
00:59:32.400 they've
00:59:32.620 created,
00:59:33.620 they've
00:59:34.080 taken an
00:59:35.160 expensive
00:59:35.660 house that's
00:59:36.840 really
00:59:37.080 awesome.
00:59:38.120 And then
00:59:38.340 they made
00:59:38.720 it tiny
00:59:39.260 and said,
00:59:39.780 oh,
00:59:39.980 how about
00:59:40.280 a tiny
00:59:40.720 house?
00:59:41.080 It'll be
00:59:41.400 inexpensive.
00:59:42.620 And it
00:59:43.100 is inexpensive,
00:59:44.220 but it's
00:59:44.680 also no fun
00:59:45.420 to live in.
00:59:46.740 So what
00:59:47.580 I've been
00:59:47.860 trying to
00:59:48.260 design for
00:59:49.400 years,
00:59:50.240 you know,
00:59:50.640 on paper
00:59:51.180 and mentally
00:59:51.840 and every
00:59:52.240 other way,
00:59:53.060 is something
00:59:53.760 that's small
00:59:54.960 and inexpensive,
00:59:56.300 more inexpensive
00:59:57.440 than small,
00:59:58.520 but that would
00:59:59.440 be better
00:59:59.940 than an
01:00:00.840 expensive home.
01:00:01.820 And there's
01:00:02.160 no reason you
01:00:02.740 can't have
01:00:03.120 that if you
01:00:04.040 design it right.
01:00:04.700 So here's
01:00:05.640 my idea
01:00:06.120 so far.
01:00:07.700 The foundation
01:00:09.620 would be
01:00:10.420 pylons that
01:00:12.980 would be
01:00:13.260 adjustable.
01:00:14.480 So I think
01:00:15.140 the cheapest
01:00:15.700 kind of
01:00:16.420 foundation that
01:00:18.400 you could do
01:00:18.940 would be
01:00:19.760 four pylons
01:00:20.860 that maybe
01:00:21.620 have a lever
01:00:22.620 that you can
01:00:23.120 adjust them
01:00:23.680 so that you
01:00:24.220 get them
01:00:24.560 the right
01:00:24.840 height.
01:00:27.700 And then
01:00:28.280 I'm imagining
01:00:28.860 that you
01:00:29.500 have ways
01:00:31.920 to connect
01:00:32.620 little units
01:00:34.060 so let's
01:00:35.140 say every
01:00:35.640 room is
01:00:36.760 pre-designed
01:00:37.540 so that
01:00:38.080 there is
01:00:38.420 no nailing
01:00:39.180 and no
01:00:39.900 sawing.
01:00:40.960 And every
01:00:41.360 part of
01:00:41.960 the house
01:00:42.440 can fit
01:00:43.220 into the
01:00:43.620 back of
01:00:44.000 a pickup
01:00:44.340 truck.
01:00:45.040 Not at
01:00:45.620 the same
01:00:45.940 time,
01:00:46.880 but if
01:00:47.140 you were
01:00:47.340 building your
01:00:48.580 own house,
01:00:49.560 you could
01:00:49.860 go get
01:00:50.280 a pickup
01:00:50.600 truck full,
01:00:51.880 unload it
01:00:52.400 with maybe
01:00:52.860 two people,
01:00:54.020 and just
01:00:54.940 clip it
01:00:55.500 together
01:00:55.860 until you
01:00:56.580 have a
01:00:56.800 home.
01:00:57.600 So if
01:00:57.980 it doesn't
01:00:58.440 clip
01:00:58.740 together
01:00:59.160 with no
01:00:59.920 sawing,
01:01:00.400 cutting,
01:01:00.880 or nailing,
01:01:01.500 and you
01:01:03.160 can't do
01:01:03.560 it with
01:01:03.720 two people,
01:01:04.460 you can't
01:01:04.880 fit it in
01:01:05.280 the back
01:01:05.580 of a
01:01:05.820 pickup truck,
01:01:07.260 it's not
01:01:07.960 quite there
01:01:08.440 yet.
01:01:08.960 But the
01:01:09.240 other thing
01:01:09.580 you would
01:01:09.820 do is
01:01:10.140 have each
01:01:10.560 room sort
01:01:11.800 of designed
01:01:12.780 as a
01:01:13.200 perfect room,
01:01:14.240 so you
01:01:14.620 don't have
01:01:14.920 to guess
01:01:15.420 what is a
01:01:15.940 good room,
01:01:16.700 you just
01:01:17.040 get the
01:01:17.880 package.
01:01:19.000 But each
01:01:19.460 room would
01:01:19.840 have two
01:01:21.260 doors.
01:01:22.880 So if
01:01:25.340 you only
01:01:26.080 could afford
01:01:26.680 one of
01:01:27.060 them,
01:01:27.640 you'd have
01:01:28.040 a front
01:01:28.460 door and
01:01:28.780 a back
01:01:29.060 door.
01:01:29.260 But if
01:01:30.460 you were
01:01:30.700 going to
01:01:30.900 buy more
01:01:31.500 than one
01:01:31.900 unit,
01:01:32.600 either at
01:01:33.180 the same
01:01:33.500 time or
01:01:33.960 later,
01:01:34.820 the back
01:01:35.320 door would
01:01:35.780 just be the
01:01:36.280 entrance to
01:01:36.840 the next
01:01:37.220 room,
01:01:38.120 which would
01:01:38.580 then have
01:01:38.980 another
01:01:39.240 back door.
01:01:40.380 So you
01:01:41.080 want modules
01:01:42.060 that you
01:01:42.360 can buy as
01:01:42.860 many of
01:01:43.260 them as
01:01:43.640 you want.
01:01:44.520 They fit
01:01:45.220 together.
01:01:46.400 People can
01:01:47.020 assemble them
01:01:47.740 on their
01:01:48.040 own.
01:01:48.600 They're one
01:01:48.940 story so
01:01:49.580 that you
01:01:49.800 don't have
01:01:50.060 as much
01:01:50.400 risk of
01:01:50.920 multiple
01:01:51.360 stories.
01:01:53.240 And there
01:01:55.560 you go.
01:01:58.160 All
01:01:58.440 right.
01:01:59.260 And lots
01:01:59.860 of natural
01:02:00.320 light,
01:02:00.740 right?
01:02:01.120 If you
01:02:01.600 get the
01:02:01.980 natural
01:02:02.420 light right
01:02:03.300 and you
01:02:03.880 get the
01:02:04.420 acoustics
01:02:05.620 right,
01:02:07.200 you have
01:02:07.660 a very
01:02:08.240 livable
01:02:08.760 place.
01:02:09.660 So it
01:02:09.920 seems to
01:02:10.320 me,
01:02:10.720 and by
01:02:10.960 the way,
01:02:11.260 somebody
01:02:11.480 can help
01:02:11.820 me with
01:02:12.080 this,
01:02:12.840 the primary
01:02:14.020 thing that
01:02:14.540 you would
01:02:14.840 need to
01:02:15.380 develop to
01:02:16.660 make these
01:02:17.120 awesome homes
01:02:17.960 that are
01:02:18.240 also small
01:02:18.860 is glass
01:02:20.680 walls,
01:02:22.160 the kind
01:02:22.800 that open
01:02:23.320 and close,
01:02:24.720 inexpensively.
01:02:26.260 If you
01:02:26.600 could get
01:02:27.080 custom,
01:02:28.600 not custom,
01:02:29.260 but standardized
01:02:30.800 glass walls
01:02:33.320 that are
01:02:33.940 also the
01:02:34.360 kind that
01:02:34.720 can open
01:02:35.160 up like
01:02:35.740 a Hawaii
01:02:36.800 lanai and
01:02:38.960 make them
01:02:39.540 in quantity
01:02:40.140 so that
01:02:40.680 they're all
01:02:41.060 the same
01:02:41.580 and they're
01:02:41.920 really cheap,
01:02:43.300 you could
01:02:43.700 have the
01:02:44.040 most awesome
01:02:44.880 little homes
01:02:45.700 with,
01:02:46.820 say,
01:02:47.200 one total
01:02:48.160 glass wall
01:02:48.880 looking out
01:02:49.640 onto something
01:02:50.280 attractive.
01:02:52.540 All right.
01:02:52.900 the trouble
01:02:54.480 with having
01:02:54.960 something like
01:02:55.480 an Airstream
01:02:56.260 or a
01:02:57.460 trailer
01:02:57.800 is that
01:02:58.700 you don't
01:02:58.980 have
01:02:59.340 light.
01:03:01.420 So you
01:03:01.640 need more
01:03:02.040 of at least
01:03:03.020 one wall
01:03:03.640 of light
01:03:04.080 with a
01:03:04.620 curtain
01:03:05.160 over it.
01:03:06.720 All right.
01:03:07.280 So there
01:03:08.700 you go.
01:03:09.700 Now the
01:03:09.960 people who
01:03:10.780 say no
01:03:11.240 thanks,
01:03:12.460 you're not
01:03:13.140 really understanding
01:03:14.120 what I'm
01:03:14.520 talking about.
01:03:15.780 So any
01:03:16.660 one of you
01:03:17.220 who says,
01:03:17.920 I wouldn't
01:03:18.280 live in that
01:03:18.860 house,
01:03:19.900 you're really
01:03:20.680 missing the
01:03:21.300 point.
01:03:22.420 It's not
01:03:22.900 for you.
01:03:24.540 It's not
01:03:25.260 for you.
01:03:26.260 We're not
01:03:26.760 trying to
01:03:27.160 build the
01:03:28.040 super inexpensive
01:03:28.980 home for
01:03:29.740 all of you.
01:03:30.900 It's for the
01:03:31.460 people who
01:03:32.240 couldn't find
01:03:33.940 a better
01:03:34.220 option.
01:03:35.560 You know,
01:03:37.060 I could have
01:03:41.260 a double
01:03:41.600 wall in the
01:03:42.340 middle of the
01:03:42.840 house.
01:03:43.740 Well,
01:03:44.320 there are a
01:03:44.860 million design
01:03:46.000 considerations.
01:03:47.820 That would
01:03:48.380 be one of
01:03:49.380 them,
01:03:49.620 I guess.
01:03:50.680 aerated
01:03:54.200 concrete.
01:03:55.100 Here's what
01:03:55.680 I wouldn't
01:03:56.220 want to
01:03:56.540 do.
01:03:57.080 I wouldn't
01:03:57.560 want to
01:03:57.820 do anything
01:03:58.360 you couldn't
01:03:58.980 pull apart
01:03:59.580 with your
01:03:59.980 bare hands.
01:04:01.420 In other
01:04:01.820 words,
01:04:02.160 I'd want
01:04:02.500 a house
01:04:02.960 that you
01:04:03.680 don't have
01:04:04.000 to chip
01:04:04.480 anything away
01:04:05.240 or scrape
01:04:06.000 anything away
01:04:06.800 or even
01:04:07.440 paint.
01:04:08.680 So if
01:04:09.180 you're
01:04:09.360 painting,
01:04:10.060 scraping,
01:04:11.640 you know,
01:04:11.980 chiseling to
01:04:13.580 redo anything
01:04:14.620 later,
01:04:15.100 then you
01:04:15.360 did it
01:04:15.660 wrong.
01:04:16.240 It should
01:04:16.540 be just
01:04:16.920 unassemble
01:04:17.900 and reassemble.
01:04:20.680 All right.
01:04:22.760 Calling
01:04:23.160 Elon Musk.
01:04:24.180 Yeah.
01:04:24.840 It does
01:04:25.200 seem like
01:04:25.620 it would
01:04:25.860 be a
01:04:26.460 high-tech
01:04:27.820 thing,
01:04:28.280 not a
01:04:28.780 building.
01:04:29.180 I believe
01:04:30.100 the building
01:04:30.600 industry will
01:04:31.300 never be
01:04:31.700 able to
01:04:31.920 do this.
01:04:33.020 I think
01:04:33.300 it's going
01:04:33.580 to have
01:04:33.760 to come
01:04:34.000 from a
01:04:34.340 tech
01:04:34.500 company.
01:04:34.820 somebody's
01:04:37.800 talking about
01:04:38.200 the boxable
01:04:38.840 houses.
01:04:40.140 I think
01:04:40.780 that's the
01:04:41.100 name of
01:04:41.380 them.
01:04:41.740 So you've
01:04:42.080 seen some
01:04:42.520 that fold
01:04:43.300 up.
01:04:44.480 They somehow
01:04:45.140 make the
01:04:45.880 house fold
01:04:46.560 up.
01:04:46.900 It's a
01:04:47.080 very small
01:04:47.480 house.
01:04:48.180 They can
01:04:48.440 put it on
01:04:48.800 the back
01:04:49.660 of a
01:04:50.020 tractor trailer
01:04:50.780 and they
01:04:51.160 can deliver
01:04:51.620 it.
01:04:52.260 This is
01:04:52.860 exactly not
01:04:54.000 what I'm
01:04:54.360 talking about.
01:04:55.740 So when
01:04:56.140 you're talking
01:04:56.480 about those
01:04:56.880 little factory
01:04:58.440 made unfolding
01:05:00.080 houses,
01:05:00.900 could not be
01:05:01.900 further from
01:05:02.740 what I'm
01:05:03.040 talking about.
01:05:03.560 So,
01:05:05.180 and unfortunately
01:05:06.040 everybody's
01:05:07.340 mind goes
01:05:08.080 to those
01:05:08.500 little homes.
01:05:09.420 They are so
01:05:10.320 poorly designed
01:05:11.480 it's not even
01:05:12.780 in the universe
01:05:13.540 of what I'm
01:05:14.140 talking about.
01:05:15.000 If it isn't
01:05:16.060 a cool,
01:05:17.380 great design,
01:05:18.840 it's no good.
01:05:20.420 Let me give
01:05:20.880 you an example.
01:05:23.100 I was in
01:05:24.060 a two-bedroom
01:05:25.400 condo in
01:05:27.000 Hawaii.
01:05:29.100 So space-wise
01:05:30.100 it was very
01:05:30.580 small.
01:05:31.160 It was just
01:05:31.480 like a little
01:05:31.960 vacation thing.
01:05:32.760 but because
01:05:35.440 the entire
01:05:36.180 front wall
01:05:36.960 was a nice
01:05:38.240 view and
01:05:39.000 it opened
01:05:39.640 up to
01:05:40.200 a lanai,
01:05:41.540 it didn't
01:05:42.340 seem like a
01:05:42.960 small space
01:05:43.720 and in fact
01:05:44.520 we paid a
01:05:46.240 great deal
01:05:46.680 of money
01:05:47.100 for this
01:05:48.680 small space
01:05:49.360 because the
01:05:50.660 simple addition
01:05:52.120 of a wall
01:05:53.100 with a good
01:05:53.840 view changes
01:05:55.220 entirely the
01:05:56.180 experience from
01:05:57.660 a thing you
01:05:58.760 would never
01:05:59.120 want to be
01:05:59.600 in to a
01:06:01.680 vacation home.
01:06:02.340 it was
01:06:03.420 literally a
01:06:04.120 vacation
01:06:04.640 destination
01:06:05.460 just because
01:06:06.800 of the
01:06:07.060 glass wall.
01:06:08.080 That's the
01:06:08.680 only thing
01:06:09.080 about it
01:06:09.400 that was
01:06:09.620 special.
01:06:10.120 Everything
01:06:10.300 else was
01:06:10.720 completely
01:06:11.160 ordinary
01:06:11.560 and
01:06:12.420 fairly
01:06:13.680 pedestrian.
01:06:14.280 pick-up
01:06:18.040 pickup truck
01:06:19.740 sized would
01:06:20.820 suck.
01:06:21.660 You are
01:06:22.060 not
01:06:22.300 understanding
01:06:22.960 the
01:06:23.360 pickup
01:06:23.660 truck
01:06:24.160 concept.
01:06:25.780 The pickup
01:06:26.520 truck doesn't
01:06:27.780 mean you put
01:06:28.400 the whole
01:06:28.800 house in the
01:06:29.360 pickup truck.
01:06:30.440 It means that
01:06:31.120 you go to the
01:06:32.900 lumber yard
01:06:34.020 or whatever
01:06:34.420 and you get
01:06:35.640 the components
01:06:36.500 the pieces
01:06:37.780 and then you
01:06:38.560 drive there
01:06:39.160 and you take
01:06:39.640 each piece
01:06:40.140 and you put
01:06:40.960 it together.
01:06:41.440 each piece
01:06:42.980 might be
01:06:43.500 something one
01:06:44.280 person could
01:06:44.800 hold in their
01:06:45.300 hands.
01:06:47.180 Anything
01:06:47.660 foldable is a
01:06:48.620 problem.
01:06:49.160 I wouldn't do
01:06:49.500 anything foldable.
01:06:53.080 Interchangeable
01:06:53.600 parts.
01:06:54.420 The other
01:06:54.980 thing you'd
01:06:56.160 want is that
01:06:56.900 all of your
01:06:57.480 interior and
01:06:58.480 exterior walls
01:06:59.520 could be
01:07:00.680 changed easily
01:07:01.600 with facades.
01:07:03.320 Imagine if you
01:07:04.100 will you had
01:07:04.820 brick facades.
01:07:06.720 They're thin
01:07:07.620 but from the
01:07:08.920 outside it
01:07:09.420 looks like a
01:07:09.900 brick and
01:07:10.740 they just
01:07:11.080 clip to the
01:07:12.460 front of your
01:07:12.880 home or to
01:07:13.560 the inside
01:07:13.980 walls.
01:07:14.940 Then if you
01:07:15.360 say I'm
01:07:15.800 tired of a
01:07:16.380 brick wall
01:07:16.940 you just
01:07:17.880 take them
01:07:18.560 off and
01:07:19.780 replace them
01:07:20.360 with some
01:07:20.980 other kind
01:07:22.080 of design.
01:07:25.080 Everyone wants
01:07:26.260 to pretend
01:07:26.760 your ideas
01:07:27.480 have already
01:07:27.940 been done.
01:07:32.960 That's one
01:07:33.600 of the things
01:07:33.960 I always deal
01:07:34.620 with.
01:07:35.040 People will
01:07:35.620 always say
01:07:36.500 that's being
01:07:37.200 done.
01:07:38.080 Then they'll
01:07:38.480 describe something
01:07:39.340 that's not
01:07:39.780 even close.
01:07:41.080 In fact
01:07:41.440 they'll describe
01:07:42.100 the thing I
01:07:42.600 said.
01:07:43.400 I want to
01:07:44.280 not do
01:07:44.740 this.
01:07:45.800 I want to
01:07:46.360 not do
01:07:46.820 X.
01:07:47.540 So whatever
01:07:48.080 I'm doing
01:07:48.640 don't do
01:07:49.660 X.
01:07:50.440 That's the
01:07:50.980 thing I
01:07:51.380 don't want
01:07:51.800 to do.
01:07:52.800 Then somebody
01:07:53.400 will say
01:07:53.860 people are
01:07:56.240 already doing
01:07:56.760 X.
01:07:57.860 They'll say
01:07:58.160 no.
01:07:58.900 I know
01:07:59.480 people are
01:07:59.880 already doing
01:08:00.480 X.
01:08:01.240 That's not
01:08:02.020 what I want.
01:08:03.040 I want to
01:08:03.420 do something
01:08:04.380 that's not
01:08:04.880 X.
01:08:06.280 But Scott
01:08:06.780 there's
01:08:08.320 already
01:08:08.600 X.
01:08:09.620 No.
01:08:10.640 No.
01:08:12.600 You know
01:08:13.220 what I
01:08:13.440 mean.
01:08:15.480 All right.
01:08:16.300 That's all
01:08:16.660 for now.
01:08:17.200 If anybody
01:08:17.520 has a
01:08:18.500 source for
01:08:19.640 a cheap
01:08:20.420 window maker
01:08:21.500 and I think
01:08:22.240 maybe a 3D
01:08:22.960 printer might be
01:08:23.640 the solution
01:08:24.120 let me know.
01:08:25.640 That's all
01:08:26.060 for now.
01:08:26.340 Come on.
01:08:27.100 Thank you.
