Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1134 Scott Adams： Peaceful Transfers of Power, Fake News Riots, Biden's Lid, TDS Cures, Impeaching Pelosi, Nadler's Waddle

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. 0.99

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, 0.93

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.76

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 0.56

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, 0.90

00:37:25.500 ow, 0.90

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, 0.93

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 0.79

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 0.85

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. 0.88

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 0.93

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 0.98

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 1.00

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% 0.72

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 0.97

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 0.95

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 1.00

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 0.62

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 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.97

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. 1.00

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.
