00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:02.500 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:05.220 Bum, bum, bum, bum.

00:00:08.700 Oh, what a day, what a day.

00:00:11.940 Come on in, come on in.

00:00:14.240 It's time.

00:00:15.480 It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams,

00:00:17.320 the best time of the day.

00:00:18.780 And not only is it the best time of the day,

00:00:21.840 but this might be the best coffee with Scott Adams

00:00:26.320 of all time.

00:00:28.760 Now, I don't want to build it up too much.

00:00:31.700 You might be disappointed.

00:00:33.760 But I feel like we have all the raw ingredients

00:00:37.080 for the best show ever.

00:00:40.040 And if you would like to enjoy it to its maximum potential,

00:00:43.600 well, it doesn't take much.

00:00:45.180 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank

00:00:48.900 or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:50.980 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:54.320 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:55.940 I like coffee.

00:00:56.820 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:01.260 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:02.940 the thing that makes everything better,

00:01:06.540 including your Zoom calls.

00:01:08.740 It's called the Simultaneous Sip,

00:01:10.760 and it happens now.

00:01:12.560 Go.

00:01:12.800 Oh, yeah.

00:01:18.400 I feel the goodness coursing through my veins.

00:01:23.400 So, I don't know where to start today.

00:01:26.320 It's such a funny day,

00:01:27.300 but I'm going to start with potential good news.

00:01:30.120 All right?

00:01:31.060 Oh, yeah.

00:01:31.580 We'll get to Jeffrey Toobin.

00:01:33.920 We'll get to that.

00:01:35.000 But let's start with some potential coronavirus good news.

00:01:39.540 So, in Reason, the publication Reason,

00:01:45.260 they estimated in an article that would cost around $20 billion

00:01:48.660 to provide 330 million Americans,

00:01:53.000 so basically all of us,

00:01:55.100 with home test kits at $1 apiece for weekly use.

00:02:00.180 So, it would cost you $1 a week

00:02:02.040 to test yourself at home

00:02:04.080 with these test kits.

00:02:06.140 And it would only cost $20 billion.

00:02:09.340 Now, if you had vaccines,

00:02:13.960 or you knew that vaccines were coming,

00:02:16.120 how does that make you feel?

00:02:18.000 Well, it might make you feel optimistic.

00:02:22.200 But a lot of you are thinking,

00:02:23.780 I'm not sure I want to sign up for the vaccine first.

00:02:27.180 Maybe you other people take the vaccine,

00:02:29.920 and a couple months from now, I'll check into it.

00:02:34.360 So, we have some bad feelings about vaccines

00:02:37.540 that is neither conservative nor liberal.

00:02:40.660 There is just a general uncomfortableness

00:02:43.100 with rushing that sort of stuff, quite reasonably.

00:02:47.260 But, suppose I told you this,

00:02:50.840 that the government had a plan

00:02:52.980 that by a certain date,

00:02:55.160 we would have enough tests

00:02:56.900 that you could get a test once a week for $1.

00:03:00.280 And everybody could do it as much as they wanted.

00:03:02.900 It's just $1.

00:03:04.120 How would that make you feel?

00:03:06.520 Let's say you knew that we could do that

00:03:08.540 by end of the year.

00:03:11.020 You'd be pretty happy about that,

00:03:13.340 because that feels like the end of the pandemic.

00:03:15.440 Now, it wouldn't end it, you know,

00:03:18.020 with one crushing blow.

00:03:20.760 But if everybody could get a test for $1 once a week,

00:03:24.620 you would really be putting your boot on the bug at that point.

00:03:29.660 So, you might ask yourself,

00:03:33.240 well, if it's only $20 billion,

00:03:35.120 and in the context of spending literally trillions

00:03:39.080 to get past this pandemic,

00:03:41.460 $20 billion would be quite a deal.

00:03:45.000 But I'm a little unclear

00:03:46.760 about whether the FDA has approved this.

00:03:51.420 So, the article was a little unclear on that.

00:03:53.780 So, I need a fact check on that.

00:03:55.140 I know that it was illegal

00:03:56.760 to authorize these,

00:04:00.260 and there was some obstacle,

00:04:02.040 I don't know what it was.

00:04:02.820 But at the moment,

00:04:04.060 there are a number of companies,

00:04:05.440 say the article in Reason,

00:04:07.260 including biotech startups,

00:04:10.160 E25 Bio,

00:04:12.680 and then there's Orashure,

00:04:14.420 and 3M, etc.

00:04:15.780 So, there are a bunch of companies

00:04:17.240 making these tests.

00:04:19.060 Here is how President Trump

00:04:21.080 could win the election

00:04:22.720 pretty much speed.

00:04:25.680 He would need to produce

00:04:27.200 a roadmap,

00:04:29.200 very simple roadmap,

00:04:30.540 that says,

00:04:31.300 here's where we are,

00:04:33.260 and by this date,

00:04:35.020 we'll have enough tests

00:04:37.420 that every person can get a test

00:04:39.580 for a dollar at home,

00:04:41.660 and you'll have quick results.

00:04:44.180 Now, if he told us

00:04:45.380 that here's where we are,

00:04:47.140 and here's the day

00:04:48.080 that we'll have enough tests,

00:04:50.660 I would feel like I saw

00:04:51.920 the end of the pandemic.

00:04:53.780 It might not be,

00:04:55.420 but it would certainly feel like it,

00:04:57.420 wouldn't it?

00:04:58.840 Now, how long would that take?

00:05:00.280 And what would it take

00:05:01.660 the government to get that done?

00:05:03.460 Well, I would just like

00:05:04.400 visibility on it.

00:05:05.980 I would like to know,

00:05:07.020 is there an FDA obstacle?

00:05:09.100 If there is still a legal obstacle,

00:05:11.620 when will that be removed?

00:05:13.920 And how long does it take

00:05:15.320 these companies to ramp up?

00:05:17.160 Give us a little visibility

00:05:18.440 into those companies,

00:05:20.100 and tell us how close they are.

00:05:22.180 Just sort of put it on paper.

00:05:24.400 One page,

00:05:25.780 here's where we are,

00:05:26.700 here's the date

00:05:27.840 we'll have enough tests

00:05:28.900 to test our way out.

00:05:31.080 $20 billion.

00:05:32.540 I would feel that

00:05:33.580 that would pretty much

00:05:34.940 settle the election,

00:05:36.120 really.

00:05:36.820 Because the coronavirus situation

00:05:38.420 is going to turn

00:05:39.920 on how scared you are

00:05:42.440 about the pandemic.

00:05:44.080 And that would take

00:05:44.900 a lot of the scare out of it.

00:05:47.020 Apparently,

00:05:47.620 there's the new rule

00:05:49.320 for the presidential debate

00:05:50.860 is that the microphones

00:05:51.940 will be turned off

00:05:53.280 when it's not

00:05:54.640 the candidate's turn to speak.

00:05:57.640 What do you think

00:05:58.440 that's going to do

00:05:59.220 to President Trump's

00:06:00.640 debate game?

00:06:02.920 Well, your first impression

00:06:04.740 might be,

00:06:05.200 oh no, he can't interrupt.

00:06:06.820 And it's the interrupting

00:06:07.780 that's sort of the fun part

00:06:09.580 and gives it a life.

00:06:11.740 But I would argue

00:06:12.960 this is going to work

00:06:14.020 in Trump's favor.

00:06:16.980 Because what was

00:06:17.780 the one big thing

00:06:18.580 that people didn't like

00:06:19.820 about Trump's performance

00:06:21.700 last time?

00:06:23.180 The people who are,

00:06:24.740 you know,

00:06:25.280 sort of would like

00:06:26.220 to like him,

00:06:27.300 you know,

00:06:27.520 maybe they could be convinced

00:06:28.880 if they see him

00:06:30.180 acting like a bully

00:06:31.140 and talking over everybody

00:06:33.040 and trying to dominate

00:06:34.200 the debate,

00:06:35.600 do they think better of him?

00:06:37.720 Or do they think worse?

00:06:39.320 I think that the people

00:06:40.600 who are persuadable,

00:06:42.020 that tiny little sliver

00:06:43.480 of people who need a reason

00:06:44.660 to go one way or the other,

00:06:46.680 I feel like they would like

00:06:48.400 Trump more

00:06:49.460 if he doesn't even have

00:06:51.240 the option of talking

00:06:52.260 over Biden.

00:06:53.500 Now,

00:06:54.160 as Trump has said

00:06:55.320 and other people have said,

00:06:56.420 if you let Biden talk

00:06:57.820 without interrupting him,

00:06:59.700 maybe he'll have

00:07:01.120 an own goal

00:07:02.000 or he'll force himself

00:07:03.400 into a gaffe

00:07:04.280 and you'll be better off

00:07:05.760 letting him talk.

00:07:07.600 I think there's something

00:07:08.780 to that.

00:07:10.160 But beyond that,

00:07:11.280 even a bigger deal

00:07:12.200 is having Trump

00:07:13.360 look more presidential

00:07:14.780 just because he was forced to.

00:07:17.160 If you force Trump

00:07:19.920 not to interrupt,

00:07:21.540 he's just going to look

00:07:22.680 more presidential.

00:07:24.060 It's going to help him.

00:07:25.480 So I don't know

00:07:26.320 if the people

00:07:26.860 who made that rule

00:07:27.840 in the back of their mind

00:07:29.720 were hoping

00:07:30.500 to handicap Trump,

00:07:32.600 but I don't think

00:07:33.220 that's what's happening.

00:07:34.700 I think this is going

00:07:35.580 to work to his favor.

00:07:39.100 You may recall

00:07:40.260 that early in the pandemic,

00:07:43.240 I was saying

00:07:44.040 don't judge

00:07:45.300 who are the countries

00:07:46.520 that are winners

00:07:47.120 and who are losers

00:07:47.920 because it's only halftime.

00:07:51.340 And you can't say

00:07:52.220 that the United States

00:07:53.440 did worse

00:07:54.100 than some other country

00:07:56.080 if the game isn't over.

00:07:58.580 Now, of course,

00:07:59.080 it's not a game

00:07:59.900 because it's life and death,

00:08:01.160 but you understand

00:08:01.860 the analogy.

00:08:03.380 So we're seeing now

00:08:04.820 a big uptick

00:08:05.780 in some countries

00:08:07.100 in Eastern Europe

00:08:08.480 and South America

00:08:09.860 where they're getting

00:08:11.200 a second wave

00:08:12.300 that's pretty bad.

00:08:14.400 So we hope

00:08:15.360 that it doesn't get worse,

00:08:16.580 but I would remind you

00:08:17.940 that we don't know

00:08:19.160 how this ends.

00:08:20.580 We still don't know

00:08:21.800 why some countries

00:08:23.080 do better.

00:08:24.360 I mean, think of that.

00:08:25.540 We still don't know

00:08:26.760 why some countries

00:08:27.940 do better.

00:08:29.300 Now, of course,

00:08:31.180 you're going to say,

00:08:32.160 well, it's masks

00:08:33.060 or it's social distancing

00:08:34.180 or whatever.

00:08:35.500 And those things,

00:08:36.580 I'm pretty sure,

00:08:37.440 make a difference.

00:08:38.220 But they don't seem

00:08:39.600 to make enough difference

00:08:40.940 to explain the massively

00:08:43.000 different outcomes

00:08:44.200 from different places.

00:08:45.600 So it's still kind of

00:08:46.580 a mystery

00:08:46.980 what the big variables are.

00:08:48.640 We know some

00:08:49.060 of the small ones.

00:08:50.720 All right.

00:08:52.240 I was trending

00:08:53.340 on Twitter yesterday.

00:08:54.560 Anybody notice that?

00:08:56.760 So I didn't see it myself,

00:08:59.100 but a number of people

00:08:59.820 told me that I was trending.

00:09:02.080 And I think that was

00:09:02.700 after I appeared

00:09:03.920 on MSNBC.

00:09:06.000 Now, you might say

00:09:06.680 to yourself,

00:09:07.140 what?

00:09:08.960 You were on MSNBC?

00:09:11.640 Do they let people

00:09:12.820 who support President Trump

00:09:14.540 on MSNBC?

00:09:15.820 I didn't even know

00:09:16.520 that was a thing.

00:09:18.040 Well, yes.

00:09:19.560 Apparently,

00:09:20.060 it doesn't happen

00:09:20.480 that often,

00:09:21.080 but I was invited

00:09:22.500 on Ari Milber's show.

00:09:24.900 And I have to admit,

00:09:26.320 I thought it was

00:09:26.980 going to be contentious.

00:09:28.920 I thought he was going

00:09:30.140 to try to embarrass me

00:09:32.960 or put me in an awkward

00:09:34.460 situation

00:09:35.200 or accuse me

00:09:37.400 of being a racist

00:09:38.140 for supporting the president

00:09:39.620 or something.

00:09:40.700 I didn't know

00:09:41.460 how it was going to go.

00:09:43.680 But it did not go

00:09:44.740 that way at all.

00:09:45.760 And I would say

00:09:46.320 that Ari did 0.97

00:09:48.420 a great job

00:09:50.640 of just,

00:09:51.140 you know,

00:09:52.140 playing it

00:09:52.740 right down the middle.

00:09:53.820 and it wasn't

00:09:55.420 a biased interview

00:09:56.240 in any way.

00:09:58.420 And he was

00:09:59.260 very complimentary.

00:10:00.500 So apparently,

00:10:01.380 he's read my books

00:10:02.360 and had a good feeling

00:10:03.960 about at least

00:10:05.440 my other work.

00:10:07.880 So it was very disarming

00:10:10.600 to me as well

00:10:11.660 because I had in my mind,

00:10:13.660 you know,

00:10:14.060 sort of a combat plan.

00:10:16.240 And I thought,

00:10:17.080 okay,

00:10:17.380 as soon as the bullets

00:10:19.200 start flying,

00:10:19.940 this is going to get good.

00:10:20.980 And I knew what

00:10:21.860 I was going to do

00:10:22.480 if it got testy.

00:10:25.280 But it never got testy.

00:10:26.520 It just stayed friendly,

00:10:27.580 which was excellent

00:10:29.420 because I think

00:10:30.820 the country needs

00:10:31.580 to see people

00:10:32.420 getting along

00:10:33.720 once in a while.

00:10:35.160 Right?

00:10:37.320 It was weird

00:10:38.360 in one sense

00:10:39.240 because

00:10:40.020 I was introduced

00:10:42.180 with somebody else's work.

00:10:44.860 I've never seen

00:10:45.440 that before.

00:10:46.220 Have you?

00:10:47.160 Have you ever seen

00:10:47.880 somebody introduced

00:10:49.160 by showing somebody

00:10:50.880 else's work

00:10:51.560 who's a competitor

00:10:52.500 to the person

00:10:53.280 who's being introduced?

00:10:54.880 So they started off

00:10:55.960 by showing a clip

00:10:56.860 of the movie

00:10:57.840 Office Space,

00:10:59.720 which some have said

00:11:01.820 is a ripoff

00:11:03.320 of Dilbert

00:11:03.880 because it

00:11:04.460 came into being

00:11:07.080 at the time

00:11:07.600 that Dilbert

00:11:08.040 was becoming popular,

00:11:09.540 which proved

00:11:10.900 that there could be

00:11:11.820 a movie on that topic.

00:11:13.720 And then

00:11:14.100 Mike Judge made one.

00:11:15.820 Now,

00:11:16.060 there's no indication

00:11:16.780 that he was looking

00:11:17.560 at Dilbert

00:11:18.060 when he made it,

00:11:19.140 but many observers say

00:11:20.820 that it was

00:11:22.560 at least a little bit

00:11:24.200 influenced

00:11:25.200 by Dilbert.

00:11:28.620 So that was weird.

00:11:29.840 I've never seen

00:11:30.480 anything like that

00:11:31.420 before,

00:11:31.940 to use somebody

00:11:32.920 else's property

00:11:33.820 to introduce

00:11:35.120 somebody who competes

00:11:36.660 with that property.

00:11:38.000 It was strange.

00:11:39.140 But they were

00:11:39.600 very nice to me.

00:11:40.280 They showed the clips

00:11:41.560 and mentioned my book,

00:11:43.040 et cetera.

00:11:43.980 So here's where

00:11:45.340 I ended up trending.

00:11:49.920 I didn't realize

00:11:51.360 just how bad

00:11:52.300 the silo was,

00:11:53.600 the news silo,

00:11:55.200 and how the people

00:11:56.860 who watch MSNBC

00:11:58.400 really, really

00:12:00.080 don't know

00:12:00.760 what the rest

00:12:01.360 of the country

00:12:01.860 is thinking.

00:12:03.300 And while you know

00:12:04.420 that intellectually,

00:12:06.320 when you see it

00:12:07.400 in real life,

00:12:08.100 it's still jarring,

00:12:09.360 even though you

00:12:09.920 sort of know it

00:12:10.720 on some intellectual level.

00:12:12.700 So I went through

00:12:17.540 my explanation

00:12:18.420 of what the election

00:12:20.400 would look like

00:12:21.020 and the way I framed it

00:12:22.000 was that people

00:12:23.220 vote based on

00:12:24.280 their fears

00:12:24.920 and that President Trump

00:12:27.080 was working against

00:12:28.260 his own re-election

00:12:29.360 interests

00:12:29.900 because he had solved

00:12:31.660 some of our

00:12:32.460 biggest fears.

00:12:33.880 And I mentioned

00:12:34.440 that I'm no longer

00:12:35.480 afraid of ISIS,

00:12:36.800 for example.

00:12:37.840 I used to think

00:12:38.640 about terrorist attacks

00:12:39.660 all the time.

00:12:41.200 And while,

00:12:41.660 of course,

00:12:42.060 there's always

00:12:42.560 that risk,

00:12:43.300 I don't think

00:12:44.100 about it.

00:12:45.060 It's not in my mind

00:12:46.020 anymore.

00:12:47.000 So I'm not afraid

00:12:48.500 of ISIS.

00:12:49.960 And that's new

00:12:51.460 within,

00:12:52.100 I would say,

00:12:52.620 within the

00:12:53.240 Trump administration.

00:12:56.000 I also mentioned

00:12:57.260 that when Trump

00:12:58.160 is president,

00:12:58.920 I'm not afraid

00:12:59.800 of the economy

00:13:01.020 melting down

00:13:01.760 because there's

00:13:04.080 good evidence

00:13:04.840 to suggest

00:13:05.640 that he's

00:13:06.600 the most capable

00:13:08.260 hand for the economy.

00:13:10.400 But then I also,

00:13:11.400 just to be fair,

00:13:12.060 said that if

00:13:13.100 President Trump

00:13:14.640 loses the election,

00:13:15.660 it'll be because

00:13:16.240 of the coronavirus

00:13:16.920 because that fear

00:13:18.660 is in our faces

00:13:19.440 all the time.

00:13:20.580 Every time you reach

00:13:21.440 for your mask,

00:13:22.920 you're reminded

00:13:24.040 of the coronavirus.

00:13:25.940 And so the immediacy

00:13:27.260 of it

00:13:27.860 and the fact

00:13:28.580 that it permeates

00:13:29.500 just everything

00:13:30.360 makes it our

00:13:31.740 most important

00:13:32.540 topic.

00:13:33.960 And it's probably,

00:13:34.860 objectively,

00:13:35.440 it probably is

00:13:35.940 the most important

00:13:36.580 topic.

00:13:36.880 And so

00:13:38.340 then I was asked

00:13:43.680 what my

00:13:45.180 prediction would be

00:13:46.820 and they had

00:13:47.480 already shown

00:13:48.220 my prediction

00:13:48.860 from 2016,

00:13:49.800 which I was right,

00:13:51.460 that President Trump

00:13:52.320 would be elected.

00:13:54.400 And then I said

00:13:55.660 in my most confident

00:13:58.220 voice

00:13:58.880 that as of

00:14:00.940 today,

00:14:02.460 President Trump

00:14:03.160 will get re-elected.

00:14:04.240 Now, I don't know

00:14:06.340 if the viewers

00:14:07.060 of MSNBC

00:14:08.240 have ever heard that.

00:14:11.280 And the reason

00:14:12.180 I was trending

00:14:12.880 is because the

00:14:14.240 MSNBC viewers

00:14:15.680 just sort of went nuts.

00:14:18.120 And I want to read

00:14:19.340 to you some of

00:14:20.080 the reactions

00:14:20.720 from the MSNBC

00:14:23.000 viewers

00:14:24.240 who heard me

00:14:25.540 say confidently

00:14:26.540 one of the few

00:14:28.220 people who was

00:14:28.960 right in 2016

00:14:29.980 in public.

00:14:31.260 A lot of the

00:14:31.840 voters were right,

00:14:32.800 but there weren't

00:14:33.260 too many pundits

00:14:34.520 saying confidently

00:14:36.220 that Trump

00:14:37.080 would win

00:14:37.440 in 2016.

00:14:39.280 So Tom Arnold

00:14:40.900 tweeted at me

00:14:42.060 today

00:14:42.580 and he said

00:14:45.900 they used a clip

00:14:46.680 of Mike Judge's

00:14:47.600 genius office space

00:14:48.920 to intro

00:14:50.180 Dilberguy

00:14:50.940 and that he

00:14:52.340 refers to me,

00:14:53.620 Tom Arnold does,

00:14:54.760 as Donald Trump

00:14:55.740 apologist

00:14:56.240 and world's

00:14:57.120 most disingenuous

00:14:58.160 human,

00:14:59.040 Scott Adams.

00:14:59.640 And so I tweeted

00:15:02.220 back to ask him

00:15:03.040 if there's any

00:15:03.520 kind of a trophy

00:15:04.320 that comes with

00:15:05.760 being the world's

00:15:06.420 most disingenuous

00:15:07.400 human.

00:15:08.400 And I thought

00:15:08.980 to myself,

00:15:10.900 there are a lot

00:15:12.200 of,

00:15:12.540 I've been insulted

00:15:13.380 in every way

00:15:14.200 that you can be

00:15:14.800 insulted,

00:15:15.740 but when somebody

00:15:16.760 says I'm

00:15:17.380 disingenuous

00:15:18.360 about the

00:15:19.480 political stuff,

00:15:21.440 I stop and

00:15:22.580 think,

00:15:23.900 disingenuous?

00:15:24.780 In what

00:15:26.680 possible way?

00:15:27.680 I mean,

00:15:27.880 I don't even

00:15:28.320 understand the

00:15:29.380 insult.

00:15:30.800 I mean,

00:15:30.980 if somebody

00:15:31.260 calls me

00:15:31.780 stupid or

00:15:32.880 untalented,

00:15:34.020 I know what

00:15:34.880 that means,

00:15:36.280 you know,

00:15:36.540 even if I think

00:15:37.300 they're not right.

00:15:38.460 At least I

00:15:39.000 understand it.

00:15:40.300 But disingenuous?

00:15:42.660 Why?

00:15:44.040 Why would I be

00:15:44.800 disingenuous?

00:15:46.380 Because

00:15:46.900 saying that

00:15:48.760 Trump will win 0.82

00:15:49.600 or saying

00:15:50.220 anything good

00:15:51.020 about Trump

00:15:51.780 is certainly

00:15:52.900 not good for me.

00:15:53.960 it's not good

00:15:55.220 for my career.

00:15:56.520 It costs me

00:15:56.920 a fortune.

00:15:57.880 It's not good

00:15:58.540 for my social

00:15:59.420 life.

00:16:00.500 It costs me

00:16:00.960 most of my

00:16:01.500 friends.

00:16:02.300 It's not good

00:16:03.080 for me safety

00:16:04.220 wise,

00:16:05.160 because I,

00:16:05.820 you know,

00:16:06.400 I worry that

00:16:07.080 if I go outside

00:16:07.880 and I'm

00:16:08.160 recognized,

00:16:08.860 somebody will

00:16:09.500 hit me with

00:16:10.620 a big object.

00:16:12.680 So,

00:16:13.480 why would I

00:16:14.240 be lying

00:16:14.960 about it?

00:16:16.320 What would

00:16:17.260 be my motive

00:16:18.680 to be

00:16:19.920 disingenuous?

00:16:21.340 Am I trying

00:16:22.180 to lose money

00:16:22.920 and be

00:16:23.660 in physical

00:16:24.240 danger?

00:16:25.500 Is it

00:16:26.080 because I

00:16:26.500 like the

00:16:26.880 attention?

00:16:28.220 Of course

00:16:28.900 I like

00:16:29.300 attention,

00:16:29.940 but I'm

00:16:30.380 pretty sure

00:16:30.940 I could

00:16:31.240 have gotten

00:16:31.580 it in a

00:16:31.980 different way.

00:16:33.400 You know,

00:16:33.660 Alyssa Milano

00:16:34.460 got plenty

00:16:35.100 of attention,

00:16:36.140 and she

00:16:36.380 wasn't backing

00:16:37.020 Trump.

00:16:37.600 So I know

00:16:38.160 I can get

00:16:38.660 attention.

00:16:39.800 I don't

00:16:40.100 need to

00:16:40.420 get it

00:16:40.680 this way.

00:16:43.360 So,

00:16:43.980 you know,

00:16:44.780 I'm not

00:16:45.100 mocking Tom

00:16:46.940 Arnold.

00:16:47.540 I'm just,

00:16:48.740 it's jaw-dropping

00:16:50.920 when you

00:16:51.460 see somebody

00:16:52.140 else's

00:16:52.580 interpretation

00:16:53.360 that you

00:16:54.760 have the

00:16:55.200 advantage of

00:16:56.180 because it's

00:16:56.720 your own

00:16:57.040 mind they're

00:16:57.560 talking about.

00:16:58.700 I mean,

00:16:58.880 this is a

00:16:59.360 stranger,

00:16:59.940 someone I've

00:17:00.340 never met,

00:17:01.540 who is

00:17:02.060 evaluating in

00:17:03.000 public my

00:17:03.720 inner thoughts.

00:17:05.920 How likely

00:17:06.620 is he right

00:17:07.420 about that?

00:17:07.960 Well,

00:17:08.340 he's not

00:17:08.680 right.

00:17:09.600 Because I

00:17:10.180 certainly don't

00:17:10.780 think of

00:17:11.280 anything I'm

00:17:11.800 doing as

00:17:12.200 being disingenuous.

00:17:13.300 I think of

00:17:13.680 it as

00:17:14.100 precisely the

00:17:15.480 opposite by

00:17:16.200 design.

00:17:17.660 Here's what

00:17:18.200 some other

00:17:18.660 people said

00:17:19.260 in the

00:17:19.500 comments.

00:17:21.320 These are

00:17:21.980 people who

00:17:22.440 saw me

00:17:22.840 appear on

00:17:23.740 MSNBC.

00:17:25.380 And keep

00:17:25.840 in mind,

00:17:26.880 this is the

00:17:27.500 first time

00:17:28.380 they've heard

00:17:29.680 anybody say

00:17:30.560 confidently that

00:17:32.220 President Trump

00:17:33.100 is likely to

00:17:34.660 win re-election.

00:17:35.680 First time

00:17:36.260 they've heard

00:17:36.620 it in months.

00:17:37.640 Here were

00:17:37.940 some comments.

00:17:39.420 Quote,

00:17:40.220 I felt

00:17:40.760 physically ill

00:17:41.700 when he said

00:17:42.320 this.

00:17:43.600 Another one,

00:17:44.520 it made me

00:17:45.200 sick.

00:17:45.640 actually it

00:17:47.540 made them

00:17:47.980 physically

00:17:48.640 sick to

00:17:50.040 hear this.

00:17:51.760 Depressed

00:17:52.120 the hell

00:17:52.440 out of me

00:17:52.740 that he

00:17:53.040 made such

00:17:53.500 a declaration.

00:17:54.660 I hope he

00:17:55.140 regrets his

00:17:55.740 prediction.

00:17:56.700 Notice that

00:17:57.260 there's always

00:17:57.680 a little bit

00:17:58.120 of revenge

00:17:58.860 built into

00:17:59.420 the comments.

00:18:00.700 They actually

00:18:01.140 want me to

00:18:01.860 suffer because

00:18:03.920 of my

00:18:04.300 prediction.

00:18:06.160 Literally

00:18:06.680 want me to

00:18:07.480 feel pain

00:18:08.280 because I

00:18:09.940 have an

00:18:10.260 opinion of

00:18:10.880 what might

00:18:11.260 happen in

00:18:11.760 the future.

00:18:13.800 This is

00:18:14.500 really sick

00:18:15.120 stuff.

00:18:16.260 Here's

00:18:16.660 another one.

00:18:18.220 After the

00:18:18.660 interview,

00:18:19.100 my husband

00:18:19.500 said,

00:18:19.980 quote,

00:18:20.220 I'm throwing

00:18:20.760 Scott Adams

00:18:21.420 autographed

00:18:22.220 book in

00:18:22.520 the trash.

00:18:23.560 Another one

00:18:24.060 said,

00:18:24.280 I was

00:18:24.540 devastated

00:18:25.140 when I

00:18:25.540 heard that.

00:18:26.620 Who is

00:18:27.320 devastated

00:18:28.020 watching

00:18:28.480 television?

00:18:29.820 When was

00:18:30.220 the last

00:18:30.560 time you

00:18:30.960 were watching

00:18:31.480 something on

00:18:32.220 the news

00:18:32.900 and it

00:18:34.280 wasn't

00:18:35.180 about some

00:18:36.520 terrible tragedy

00:18:37.500 or something?

00:18:38.540 When have

00:18:39.140 you ever

00:18:39.400 watched just

00:18:40.100 some ordinary

00:18:40.880 political

00:18:41.700 pundit thing

00:18:43.080 in the news

00:18:43.660 and felt

00:18:44.260 to yourself

00:18:44.880 sick in

00:18:45.900 your stomach

00:18:46.500 or devastated

00:18:48.600 or here's

00:18:51.200 some more

00:18:51.520 of them.

00:18:53.140 I don't

00:18:53.900 agree with

00:18:54.340 anything said

00:18:54.960 by Scott

00:18:55.460 Adams.

00:18:56.180 He's a

00:18:56.700 well

00:18:56.920 poisoner.

00:18:58.340 He shows

00:18:59.460 up to

00:18:59.800 create havoc.

00:19:01.240 I'm a

00:19:01.580 well

00:19:01.840 poisoner?

00:19:03.200 Why would

00:19:03.820 I want to

00:19:04.260 poison a

00:19:04.760 well?

00:19:05.720 Why would

00:19:06.180 I want to

00:19:06.580 poison anybody's 0.91

00:19:07.460 well?

00:19:08.520 Why would

00:19:09.200 I want

00:19:09.540 anything that's

00:19:10.300 not generally

00:19:11.500 good for the

00:19:12.240 United States

00:19:13.020 as a whole?

00:19:14.180 Why would

00:19:14.600 I want that?

00:19:15.920 In what

00:19:16.400 world would

00:19:17.680 any of that

00:19:18.260 make sense?

00:19:20.440 Here's some

00:19:21.100 more.

00:19:21.640 That was

00:19:22.040 frightening.

00:19:22.720 I'm still

00:19:23.180 bothered.

00:19:23.780 So people

00:19:24.160 were shaking.

00:19:25.740 They were

00:19:26.080 just like

00:19:26.580 shaking with

00:19:27.780 anger and

00:19:28.660 pain and

00:19:29.820 stomach aches

00:19:30.700 because they

00:19:31.680 heard somebody

00:19:32.300 who didn't

00:19:32.780 look crazy

00:19:33.580 say that

00:19:35.340 Trump could

00:19:36.740 win re-election

00:19:37.520 and he

00:19:38.020 could do

00:19:38.360 it on the

00:19:38.760 strength of

00:19:39.360 being good

00:19:39.740 for the

00:19:40.060 economy and

00:19:40.920 good for

00:19:41.620 international

00:19:42.180 stuff.

00:19:43.500 Here's another

00:19:43.980 one.

00:19:44.300 I threw up

00:19:44.800 in my

00:19:45.080 mouth when

00:19:45.600 I heard

00:19:45.860 him say

00:19:46.180 that.

00:19:48.820 So it

00:19:52.840 was really

00:19:53.720 really

00:19:54.200 interesting to

00:19:56.180 see the

00:19:56.820 depth of

00:19:58.520 how low

00:20:00.140 the information

00:20:00.920 is on

00:20:02.080 the left.

00:20:02.800 I would

00:20:03.300 argue as

00:20:03.900 I've argued

00:20:04.480 many times

00:20:05.020 that the

00:20:05.660 people on

00:20:06.020 the right

00:20:06.520 they can't

00:20:07.720 avoid seeing

00:20:08.540 the information

00:20:09.160 from the

00:20:09.640 left because

00:20:10.380 it permeates

00:20:11.680 everything.

00:20:12.820 So whatever

00:20:13.260 the left

00:20:14.340 narrative is

00:20:15.480 everybody knows

00:20:16.240 that.

00:20:16.940 But the

00:20:17.300 left does

00:20:17.960 not see

00:20:18.520 the right

00:20:19.100 and the

00:20:20.060 first time

00:20:20.500 they see

00:20:20.880 somebody who

00:20:21.500 doesn't look

00:20:22.020 insane

00:20:22.560 with an

00:20:24.520 opinion that

00:20:25.080 actually is

00:20:25.760 coherent

00:20:26.220 they didn't

00:20:27.400 know what

00:20:27.660 to do.

00:20:28.080 It actually

00:20:28.620 made them

00:20:29.100 sick to

00:20:30.740 hear a

00:20:31.100 different

00:20:31.320 opinion.

00:20:32.700 I mean

00:20:32.880 seriously

00:20:33.300 when was

00:20:33.700 the last

00:20:33.980 time you

00:20:34.320 got sick

00:20:35.020 hearing an

00:20:36.040 opinion.

00:20:37.720 I think

00:20:38.460 it's zero

00:20:39.020 times for

00:20:39.600 me.

00:20:40.760 All right

00:20:41.060 let's talk

00:20:41.540 about the

00:20:42.680 best story

00:20:43.500 of the

00:20:43.720 day,

00:20:45.020 Jeffrey

00:20:45.300 Toobin.

00:20:46.520 Are you

00:20:47.180 ready for

00:20:47.520 this?

00:20:49.900 So I

00:20:50.580 believe by

00:20:51.040 now you've

00:20:51.660 all heard

00:20:52.020 the story

00:20:52.540 that CNN's

00:20:54.280 legal analyst

00:20:55.560 Jeffrey Toobin

00:20:56.420 was on a

00:20:57.540 Zoom call

00:20:58.180 with some

00:20:59.140 of his

00:20:59.460 professional

00:21:00.060 colleagues,

00:21:01.320 believed that

00:21:02.120 he had

00:21:02.440 turned off

00:21:02.900 his camera

00:21:03.540 and sound

00:21:04.300 but he

00:21:05.120 had not.

00:21:06.460 And then

00:21:06.720 he proceeded

00:21:07.580 to,

00:21:09.060 since this

00:21:09.800 is a

00:21:10.180 family show,

00:21:12.000 let's say

00:21:12.540 he decided

00:21:13.240 to address

00:21:15.040 a package

00:21:15.620 to his

00:21:16.220 home address

00:21:16.940 if you

00:21:17.420 know what

00:21:17.640 I mean.

00:21:18.540 Let's say

00:21:19.240 he decided

00:21:20.000 to be

00:21:20.440 an army

00:21:22.060 of one

00:21:22.640 if you

00:21:23.360 know what

00:21:23.580 I mean.

00:21:24.820 Let's

00:21:25.340 just say

00:21:25.780 he decided

00:21:26.340 to take

00:21:26.780 matters

00:21:27.120 into his

00:21:27.560 own hands

00:21:28.200 if you

00:21:29.200 see where

00:21:29.520 I'm coming

00:21:29.860 from.

00:21:31.360 And

00:21:31.620 apparently

00:21:32.080 he did

00:21:32.540 that on

00:21:33.120 camera

00:21:33.540 with his

00:21:35.540 colleagues

00:21:36.000 aghast

00:21:38.820 apparently

00:21:39.360 and he

00:21:41.500 was asked

00:21:43.220 to go

00:21:43.660 on a little

00:21:44.060 bit of

00:21:44.400 leave of

00:21:44.860 absence

00:21:45.280 from his

00:21:46.120 two jobs

00:21:48.200 including

00:21:48.640 CNN.

00:21:51.300 So

00:21:51.900 we had

00:21:54.000 a little

00:21:54.220 fun with

00:21:54.760 it,

00:21:55.340 didn't we?

00:21:56.760 But

00:21:57.160 I'm going

00:21:58.440 to trip you

00:21:58.920 up here.

00:21:59.520 Are you ready?

00:21:59.900 you don't

00:22:01.660 see this

00:22:02.180 coming.

00:22:03.540 I'm going

00:22:04.280 to fully

00:22:06.000 support

00:22:06.640 Jeffrey

00:22:07.880 Toobin.

00:22:08.720 Now I

00:22:09.320 don't agree

00:22:09.800 with his

00:22:10.280 political

00:22:10.800 opinions

00:22:11.360 quite often

00:22:12.100 but the

00:22:14.220 mistake he

00:22:14.860 made was

00:22:16.380 not a

00:22:17.080 crime.

00:22:18.860 Nobody

00:22:19.280 was hurt.

00:22:21.540 His

00:22:22.140 intentions

00:22:22.660 were not

00:22:23.220 bad.

00:22:24.620 It was a

00:22:25.180 very human

00:22:26.180 mistake which

00:22:27.200 is what

00:22:27.500 makes it so

00:22:28.120 delightfully

00:22:28.780 entertaining.

00:22:29.940 It was

00:22:30.580 the most

00:22:31.060 human of

00:22:32.560 human

00:22:33.000 mistakes.

00:22:34.320 I can

00:22:34.920 personally

00:22:35.480 not dislike

00:22:37.140 him or

00:22:37.740 mock him

00:22:38.260 for being

00:22:38.760 a human

00:22:39.420 being who

00:22:40.660 does a

00:22:41.060 very human

00:22:41.820 thing that

00:22:43.500 just happened

00:22:44.320 to be the

00:22:44.740 funniest human

00:22:45.800 mistake you

00:22:46.380 could possibly

00:22:47.060 make in the 0.99

00:22:48.080 entire world.

00:22:49.820 So I

00:22:51.980 want to be

00:22:52.340 completely clear

00:22:53.300 that I

00:22:55.060 don't think

00:22:55.500 he should

00:22:55.800 lose his

00:22:56.200 job.

00:22:56.540 I think

00:22:57.860 he became

00:22:58.360 more

00:22:58.680 interesting.

00:22:59.920 In other

00:23:00.180 words,

00:23:00.860 the first

00:23:01.320 time that

00:23:01.700 I hear

00:23:01.980 that Jeffrey

00:23:02.500 Toobin is

00:23:03.180 back on

00:23:03.720 CNN,

00:23:04.280 and I

00:23:04.460 hope they

00:23:04.740 take him

00:23:05.060 back seriously

00:23:06.160 because I

00:23:06.900 don't think

00:23:07.200 this is any

00:23:07.700 kind of a

00:23:08.100 crime or

00:23:08.560 anything,

00:23:09.600 he will be

00:23:11.000 more

00:23:11.200 interesting.

00:23:12.440 I hope

00:23:13.220 that he

00:23:14.420 has a sense

00:23:15.100 of humor

00:23:15.480 about it.

00:23:16.480 I hope

00:23:16.840 that his

00:23:17.240 wife and

00:23:18.960 his,

00:23:19.660 I think he

00:23:20.340 has a

00:23:20.600 teenage

00:23:20.840 daughter or

00:23:21.500 something,

00:23:21.980 I may be

00:23:22.360 wrong about

00:23:22.820 that,

00:23:23.120 but imagine

00:23:24.200 how horrified

00:23:25.100 she was

00:23:26.460 and the

00:23:27.040 wife had 0.99

00:23:27.460 to deal

00:23:27.780 with this.

00:23:28.720 And I

00:23:28.880 would like

00:23:29.140 to speak

00:23:29.520 directly to

00:23:30.400 Jeffrey Toobin's

00:23:31.960 family and

00:23:33.100 say,

00:23:33.740 give him a

00:23:34.480 break.

00:23:35.420 Just cut him

00:23:36.180 a break.

00:23:37.280 He didn't

00:23:37.820 want to do

00:23:38.480 it, it was

00:23:38.940 just a human

00:23:40.040 mistake, that's

00:23:41.120 all it was.

00:23:41.940 So don't take it

00:23:42.580 seriously, but

00:23:43.720 let's have fun

00:23:44.320 with it because

00:23:45.520 it was the

00:23:46.520 coolest human

00:23:47.180 mistake anybody

00:23:48.220 ever made.

00:23:48.800 Now, I

00:23:51.080 ran a little

00:23:51.700 poll on

00:23:52.780 Twitter, of

00:23:55.660 course it's

00:23:56.100 not a

00:23:56.440 scientific poll,

00:23:57.420 but I

00:23:57.680 asked this

00:23:58.160 question.

00:23:59.120 I said,

00:23:59.640 have you

00:24:00.000 ever

00:24:00.260 pleasured

00:24:00.820 yourself on

00:24:01.420 a Zoom

00:24:01.860 or conference

00:24:02.580 call?

00:24:03.380 I got over

00:24:04.160 12,000

00:24:04.920 responses, and

00:24:06.740 here were

00:24:07.840 the three

00:24:08.520 choices.

00:24:09.660 Number one,

00:24:10.420 that's the

00:24:10.920 best time.

00:24:12.280 38% of

00:24:15.460 respondents said

00:24:16.980 that they have

00:24:17.580 pleasured

00:24:18.040 themselves on

00:24:18.740 a Zoom

00:24:19.060 or conference

00:24:19.620 call because

00:24:20.820 quote, that's

00:24:21.680 the best

00:24:22.060 time.

00:24:24.300 Number two,

00:24:25.600 the other

00:24:25.920 choice was I

00:24:26.700 hate pleasure.

00:24:27.620 28% signed

00:24:28.740 up for hating

00:24:29.420 pleasure, so

00:24:30.380 they have not

00:24:30.880 done that

00:24:31.280 activity.

00:24:32.260 And then

00:24:32.480 34% answered

00:24:33.880 too scared.

00:24:35.900 And I, of

00:24:36.800 course, created

00:24:37.940 the third

00:24:38.780 choice so that

00:24:40.160 the only reason

00:24:40.840 you would not

00:24:41.420 do it is you

00:24:41.980 were afraid of

00:24:42.460 getting caught.

00:24:44.920 So I would

00:24:46.520 not assume

00:24:47.600 that this is

00:24:48.240 too scientifically

00:24:49.060 accurate as

00:24:50.180 a poll, but

00:24:51.420 38% said

00:24:52.780 that's the

00:24:53.220 best time.

00:24:58.920 So, I

00:25:00.980 would like to

00:25:01.460 give you my

00:25:02.300 confession.

00:25:03.600 Are you ready

00:25:03.980 for this?

00:25:06.060 I'm going to

00:25:07.000 confess to you

00:25:07.760 in public,

00:25:08.840 right now,

00:25:09.840 no joke,

00:25:11.060 this is an

00:25:11.660 actual confession,

00:25:12.560 confession, that

00:25:13.800 at least once

00:25:14.800 in my entire

00:25:17.020 decades of

00:25:17.980 life on this

00:25:18.860 planet, at

00:25:20.100 least once,

00:25:21.400 totally true,

00:25:23.000 at least once

00:25:24.220 in my whole

00:25:24.900 life, not

00:25:25.900 recently, but

00:25:27.240 at least once,

00:25:28.480 I have been on

00:25:30.200 a phone call

00:25:31.220 and or conference

00:25:32.320 call and or

00:25:33.300 Zoom, and I

00:25:35.360 have multitasked.

00:25:36.780 I have

00:25:37.240 multitasked.

00:25:38.160 I would be

00:25:38.720 in the 38%

00:25:40.080 who answered

00:25:41.520 my survey by

00:25:42.360 saying that's

00:25:42.880 the best time.

00:25:44.620 But if it's

00:25:46.200 any comfort

00:25:46.880 to Jeffrey

00:25:49.080 Toobin,

00:25:50.120 you know,

00:25:52.240 and I'm just

00:25:53.020 going to say

00:25:53.520 I am

00:25:54.460 Spartacus.

00:25:55.620 This is the

00:25:56.500 closest I've

00:25:57.180 ever come to

00:25:57.820 an I am

00:25:58.320 Spartacus

00:25:58.960 moment, and

00:26:00.200 I want to

00:26:00.680 say hashtag

00:26:01.840 me Toobin,

00:26:03.120 hashtag me

00:26:05.180 Toobin.

00:26:08.460 But I

00:26:09.340 would like to

00:26:09.780 also add a

00:26:11.240 defense to

00:26:12.500 Jeffrey Toobin

00:26:13.220 because I know

00:26:13.860 this will come

00:26:14.460 up.

00:26:15.200 One of the

00:26:15.700 things you're

00:26:16.100 asking yourself

00:26:16.860 is, is it

00:26:18.000 because there

00:26:18.560 was somebody

00:26:19.180 on his Zoom

00:26:20.260 call who

00:26:21.580 was unusually

00:26:22.620 attractive and

00:26:24.240 that he was

00:26:24.820 sort of

00:26:25.220 responding to

00:26:26.280 an actual

00:26:27.040 person on

00:26:27.700 the call,

00:26:28.380 which would

00:26:29.080 make it worse,

00:26:30.100 right?

00:26:30.960 You would be

00:26:31.820 extra creeped

00:26:32.820 out if it

00:26:33.460 was because

00:26:33.960 there was

00:26:34.260 somebody on

00:26:34.740 the call.

00:26:35.640 Now, we've

00:26:36.300 seen a picture

00:26:36.900 of the people

00:26:37.620 on the call.

00:26:40.220 Somebody was

00:26:41.320 nice enough to

00:26:42.160 show some

00:26:43.000 public photos

00:26:44.120 of the other

00:26:45.100 people who

00:26:45.640 were alleged

00:26:46.120 to be on

00:26:46.600 the call.

00:26:47.900 I would rule

00:26:49.100 out the

00:26:49.560 possibility that

00:26:50.960 he was inspired

00:26:51.740 by the other

00:26:52.360 people on the

00:26:52.960 call.

00:26:53.340 I don't want

00:26:53.720 to be unkind.

00:26:55.380 I'm just

00:26:55.940 saying it's

00:26:57.140 very unlikely

00:26:58.020 that the

00:26:59.020 people on

00:26:59.600 the call

00:27:00.060 were who

00:27:00.660 inspired him.

00:27:01.420 And I

00:27:02.720 would also

00:27:03.060 like to

00:27:03.420 say that,

00:27:05.040 and this

00:27:05.600 is only for

00:27:06.840 the benefit

00:27:07.220 of the women

00:27:07.720 who are

00:27:08.660 listening to

00:27:09.180 this,

00:27:09.860 because all

00:27:10.500 the men

00:27:11.100 already know

00:27:12.620 this.

00:27:13.580 So this is

00:27:14.080 universal male

00:27:15.080 knowledge that

00:27:16.320 if you're a

00:27:16.760 woman, you'll 1.00

00:27:17.200 be hearing it

00:27:17.700 for the first

00:27:18.200 time.

00:27:19.320 We don't

00:27:20.000 really need a

00:27:20.600 reason.

00:27:23.280 If you're

00:27:23.940 saying to

00:27:24.300 yourself,

00:27:24.880 what was it

00:27:25.940 that inspired

00:27:26.800 Jeffrey Toobin

00:27:27.660 at that

00:27:28.600 very moment

00:27:29.400 to engage

00:27:30.220 in that

00:27:30.600 activity,

00:27:32.460 ladies, 1.00

00:27:34.280 we don't

00:27:34.800 need a

00:27:35.100 reason.

00:27:37.400 We don't

00:27:37.520 really have

00:27:40.380 to be

00:27:40.680 inspired by

00:27:41.800 anything.

00:27:43.000 We don't

00:27:43.820 really need

00:27:44.240 a reason.

00:27:45.660 Being bored

00:27:46.520 is enough

00:27:47.100 of a reason.

00:27:48.960 And let

00:27:49.580 me say

00:27:49.880 this.

00:27:50.820 If you've

00:27:52.360 ever been

00:27:52.800 bored on a

00:27:53.700 conference call,

00:27:54.980 and you're a

00:27:55.720 guy, and

00:27:56.780 you're alone,

00:27:58.580 and it's a

00:27:59.100 really long

00:27:59.640 conference call,

00:28:00.480 and you

00:28:00.680 don't have

00:28:01.040 to talk,

00:28:02.240 and you're

00:28:02.680 just all

00:28:04.260 by yourself

00:28:04.940 at your

00:28:05.320 home office,

00:28:06.600 you've

00:28:07.520 probably at

00:28:08.140 least thought

00:28:08.680 to yourself,

00:28:09.960 is there

00:28:10.280 anything else

00:28:10.780 I could be

00:28:11.180 doing now?

00:28:13.740 So that's

00:28:15.100 just for the

00:28:15.540 benefit of the

00:28:16.040 women who 0.99

00:28:16.480 don't know

00:28:16.920 how men

00:28:17.540 think.

00:28:17.900 But let

00:28:18.120 me read

00:28:18.420 to you

00:28:18.700 some of

00:28:19.520 the jokes

00:28:20.040 that came

00:28:20.580 out of

00:28:20.880 this that

00:28:21.320 were just

00:28:21.700 precious.

00:28:22.860 Now,

00:28:23.160 one of the

00:28:23.460 advantages I

00:28:24.180 have, and

00:28:25.240 I did this

00:28:25.840 intentionally,

00:28:26.780 is I do

00:28:27.280 this Periscope

00:28:28.000 early in the

00:28:28.580 morning, so

00:28:29.660 if there's

00:28:30.020 anything that's

00:28:30.720 new, I

00:28:31.800 can get it

00:28:32.380 while it's

00:28:32.780 fresh.

00:28:33.860 Because anybody

00:28:34.540 who goes on,

00:28:35.560 like, I feel

00:28:36.100 sorry for, you

00:28:37.480 know, the

00:28:38.280 people on the

00:28:39.140 five, you

00:28:40.380 know, because

00:28:40.620 they have to

00:28:40.900 wait until the

00:28:41.360 afternoon to

00:28:42.000 talk about

00:28:42.480 this.

00:28:43.700 Actually, they

00:28:44.240 may have

00:28:44.460 talked about

00:28:44.820 it yesterday.

00:28:45.660 But anybody

00:28:46.140 who has to

00:28:46.600 wait, you

00:28:47.900 know, all the

00:28:48.300 good jokes are

00:28:48.980 already gone.

00:28:49.920 So I created

00:28:50.920 that web

00:28:51.920 cartoon called

00:28:52.800 Robots Read

00:28:53.900 News, where

00:28:54.900 it's just a

00:28:55.520 robot reading

00:28:56.120 the news, and

00:28:56.760 he never

00:28:57.040 changes, so I

00:28:57.780 don't have to

00:28:58.120 do the art, and

00:28:59.200 I can just

00:28:59.660 quickly retype

00:29:00.600 new words into

00:29:02.060 the comic and

00:29:02.780 publish it.

00:29:03.720 So I can be

00:29:04.580 the first one to

00:29:05.540 use up all the

00:29:06.280 good jokes before

00:29:07.200 other people get

00:29:07.900 to them.

00:29:08.960 But people were

00:29:09.980 very fast, and

00:29:11.460 here are some of

00:29:12.440 the jokes that

00:29:13.460 came out of

00:29:13.920 this.

00:29:16.340 First of all,

00:29:16.980 the hashtag

00:29:17.700 MeTubin. 0.67

00:29:20.980 MeTubin is the 0.97

00:29:21.960 best hashtag

00:29:22.660 ever.

00:29:23.060 And if you're

00:29:24.680 wondering if we

00:29:25.400 live in a

00:29:25.920 simulation, I

00:29:27.700 would like to

00:29:28.400 offer this

00:29:30.840 evidence of the

00:29:32.420 simulation.

00:29:33.780 What are the

00:29:34.340 odds that the

00:29:35.380 one guy who

00:29:36.120 gets caught in

00:29:37.400 this behavior

00:29:38.160 also has a

00:29:39.860 last name that

00:29:41.440 sounds a little

00:29:42.280 bit like the

00:29:43.420 behavior?

00:29:44.700 You hear me?

00:29:45.840 Let's say I had

00:29:46.980 been caught making

00:29:48.060 the same mistake.

00:29:49.580 Could anybody

00:29:50.240 make fun of my

00:29:51.120 last name?

00:29:51.860 Would they

00:29:52.780 say, yeah, he

00:29:54.220 was Adamsing?

00:29:56.200 Doesn't really

00:29:56.940 work, right?

00:29:58.560 How about, you

00:29:59.780 know, any other

00:30:00.360 name?

00:30:00.880 Yeah, he was

00:30:01.420 Smithing.

00:30:03.520 Nothing.

00:30:04.860 Nothing.

00:30:05.820 But if you say he

00:30:08.100 was Tubin, doesn't

00:30:10.980 that sound a little

00:30:12.020 bit like the thing

00:30:12.960 he was actually

00:30:13.640 doing?

00:30:14.800 Yeah.

00:30:15.680 Yeah, Jeffrey

00:30:16.320 was Tubin.

00:30:18.500 He was Tubin, 0.59

00:30:19.660 all right.

00:30:20.000 So I don't

00:30:21.700 know what the

00:30:22.100 odds of having

00:30:22.980 a last name

00:30:23.660 that sounds

00:30:24.080 exactly like

00:30:24.800 the thing you

00:30:25.240 got caught

00:30:25.660 doing, but

00:30:26.960 it's probably

00:30:27.320 small.

00:30:28.260 It's probably

00:30:28.720 small.

00:30:30.840 The odds are

00:30:31.780 small, that is.

00:30:33.060 Here's some

00:30:33.700 more jokes.

00:30:35.400 Somebody said

00:30:36.240 that it was

00:30:36.820 Russian disinformation

00:30:37.960 and that that

00:30:38.960 was not actually

00:30:39.720 his penis. 0.99

00:30:41.420 That was

00:30:42.100 Russian

00:30:42.500 disinformation.

00:30:43.160 I said, I

00:30:50.220 used a joke

00:30:50.860 that my

00:30:51.260 father had

00:30:51.960 taught me

00:30:52.600 when I was

00:30:53.000 a kid, but

00:30:53.840 I said, I

00:30:56.160 wonder what

00:30:56.540 the market

00:30:56.980 price is for

00:30:57.940 a screenshot

00:30:58.720 of Jeffrey

00:30:59.420 Tubin trying

00:31:00.640 to count to

00:31:01.300 11 on

00:31:01.980 Zoom.

00:31:03.320 I'll pause

00:31:04.040 for a moment

00:31:04.580 while you

00:31:05.120 explain that

00:31:06.740 joke to

00:31:07.200 whoever you're

00:31:07.740 with who

00:31:08.060 didn't get

00:31:08.460 it.

00:31:09.740 Count to

00:31:10.500 11.

00:31:10.860 Okay, you

00:31:12.160 with me?

00:31:12.920 Everybody

00:31:13.280 caught up?

00:31:13.960 Okay, we'll

00:31:14.360 go on.

00:31:16.520 And then

00:31:16.960 for my

00:31:17.660 Robots Read

00:31:18.520 News comic,

00:31:20.160 this was the

00:31:21.040 robot reading

00:31:21.940 the news,

00:31:22.980 he said,

00:31:23.560 Jeffrey Tubin

00:31:24.160 has been

00:31:24.560 yanked off

00:31:25.180 of CNN

00:31:25.760 for lubing

00:31:26.960 his Tubin

00:31:27.480 on a Zoom

00:31:28.020 call.

00:31:29.100 Brian Stelter,

00:31:30.360 also known

00:31:30.980 as the

00:31:31.360 poor man's

00:31:32.040 Jeffrey

00:31:32.360 Tubin,

00:31:33.020 I was

00:31:33.360 proud of

00:31:33.740 that,

00:31:34.720 defended his

00:31:36.080 well-haired

00:31:36.600 clone by

00:31:37.260 hunterizing the

00:31:38.580 story into

00:31:39.180 oblivion.

00:31:39.940 So I'm

00:31:40.160 trying to

00:31:40.480 create that

00:31:41.060 verb,

00:31:42.540 hunterizing,

00:31:43.600 that means

00:31:44.460 making a

00:31:44.980 story disappear.

00:31:46.580 Dr. Fauci

00:31:47.240 advised that

00:31:47.940 it will be

00:31:48.380 safe to

00:31:48.800 go back to

00:31:49.260 shaking hands

00:31:49.880 after the

00:31:50.320 pandemic with

00:31:51.600 quote,

00:31:52.040 everyone except

00:31:52.820 Tubin.

00:31:54.660 All right,

00:31:54.960 so that was

00:31:55.560 my contribution.

00:31:57.060 Then the

00:31:57.720 Panda Tribune

00:31:58.480 said in a

00:32:00.320 tweet,

00:32:00.880 what's the

00:32:01.280 big deal?

00:32:01.980 The motion

00:32:02.540 was sustained.

00:32:03.940 Oh, no,

00:32:04.240 the motion

00:32:04.620 wasn't sustained.

00:32:07.740 Hashtag

00:32:08.260 me Tubin.

00:32:08.780 And here's

00:32:11.120 the one that

00:32:11.480 made me

00:32:11.820 laugh the

00:32:12.340 hardest.

00:32:13.520 This is the

00:32:14.260 simplest one,

00:32:16.160 but it

00:32:16.480 made me

00:32:16.840 laugh the

00:32:17.460 hardest.

00:32:18.300 Somebody said

00:32:18.940 he fell on

00:32:19.680 his sword.

00:32:22.160 I'm sorry,

00:32:23.060 that's just

00:32:23.460 hilarious.

00:32:25.260 He fell on

00:32:25.820 his sword.

00:32:28.280 It's so

00:32:28.980 visual.

00:32:30.960 Somebody else

00:32:31.620 said,

00:32:33.120 who is

00:32:33.620 this?

00:32:35.040 Strayon,

00:32:35.600 I think,

00:32:35.920 said this,

00:32:36.960 that I

00:32:38.560 guess the

00:32:38.960 Zoom call

00:32:39.540 was supposed

00:32:40.680 to be an

00:32:41.640 election

00:32:42.160 simulation.

00:32:43.900 They were

00:32:44.180 talking about

00:32:44.740 an election

00:32:45.720 simulation.

00:32:47.540 So Strayon

00:32:48.860 said he

00:32:49.840 must have

00:32:51.440 misheard it

00:32:51.980 and he

00:32:52.180 thought it

00:32:52.420 was an

00:32:52.840 erection

00:32:53.320 stimulation.

00:32:54.000 Then Pete

00:32:57.600 on Twitter,

00:33:01.280 he got

00:33:01.980 inspired to

00:33:02.660 start a

00:33:03.160 video platform

00:33:04.880 he's going

00:33:05.400 to call

00:33:05.680 it YouTubin.

00:33:07.780 So on

00:33:08.600 YouTubin,

00:33:09.740 his new

00:33:10.440 video platform,

00:33:12.040 he says,

00:33:12.740 my new

00:33:13.060 channel will

00:33:13.620 give up

00:33:14.380 and coming

00:33:14.760 creators a

00:33:15.420 chance to

00:33:15.880 expose

00:33:16.280 themselves.

00:33:16.780 Then of

00:33:20.720 course there

00:33:21.080 was a

00:33:21.700 tweet that

00:33:22.280 said that

00:33:22.880 Jeffrey

00:33:23.440 Toobin had

00:33:24.120 quote,

00:33:25.080 asked for

00:33:25.620 some personal

00:33:26.300 time off

00:33:27.060 and I

00:33:28.060 tweeted an

00:33:28.620 update to

00:33:29.120 the update

00:33:29.600 and I

00:33:29.980 said,

00:33:30.500 update,

00:33:31.140 he only

00:33:31.480 needed 10

00:33:32.080 minutes.

00:33:35.300 So,

00:33:36.660 so,

00:33:37.560 and I

00:33:38.000 would just

00:33:38.300 like to

00:33:38.760 offer this

00:33:39.440 additional

00:33:40.760 pro tip

00:33:42.260 that apparently

00:33:44.420 the problem

00:33:45.760 was that

00:33:46.280 Toobin thought

00:33:46.940 that his

00:33:47.360 camera had

00:33:48.400 been turned

00:33:48.880 off and

00:33:50.680 here's my

00:33:52.240 pro tip.

00:33:53.580 If you

00:33:54.280 need to

00:33:54.680 turn the

00:33:55.140 camera off,

00:33:56.700 you're a

00:33:57.220 rookie because

00:33:58.900 you should

00:33:59.880 have prepared

00:34:00.320 before the

00:34:00.840 camera came

00:34:01.400 on and

00:34:02.260 then you

00:34:02.780 could enjoy

00:34:03.240 yourself all

00:34:03.920 the way

00:34:04.160 through the

00:34:04.500 Zoom.

00:34:05.700 Nobody

00:34:06.220 needs to

00:34:06.700 be the

00:34:06.960 wiser.

00:34:08.200 Now,

00:34:08.580 the other

00:34:08.900 thing that's

00:34:09.460 hilarious about

00:34:10.160 this is

00:34:11.500 there are a

00:34:12.380 number of

00:34:12.860 articles and

00:34:13.660 tweets and

00:34:14.180 stories about

00:34:14.740 Jeffrey Toobin

00:34:15.460 and, of

00:34:16.420 course, they

00:34:17.000 look for a

00:34:18.560 picture that's

00:34:19.440 available on

00:34:20.520 someplace that

00:34:22.040 they can grab

00:34:22.660 a photo and

00:34:23.320 run with a

00:34:23.880 tweet.

00:34:25.140 The photos

00:34:26.020 that people

00:34:26.560 are running

00:34:27.100 with these

00:34:27.840 Jeffrey Toobin

00:34:28.620 stories are

00:34:29.860 so freaking

00:34:30.580 funny because

00:34:32.080 Toobin is one

00:34:32.820 of these

00:34:33.140 wide-eyed

00:34:34.540 people where

00:34:35.700 when he

00:34:36.240 appears on

00:34:36.920 TV, his

00:34:37.560 eyes get

00:34:37.980 bigger.

00:34:39.200 And now

00:34:40.340 every photo

00:34:41.060 I see where

00:34:42.180 it's a video

00:34:43.800 or a photo

00:34:44.360 from, let's

00:34:44.960 say, the

00:34:45.260 chest up,

00:34:46.080 you can just

00:34:46.960 imagine what's

00:34:47.680 happening from

00:34:48.240 the chest

00:34:48.640 down, and

00:34:49.560 his face, by

00:34:51.520 coincidence, his

00:34:52.580 face looks

00:34:53.180 exactly like he's

00:34:54.160 not wearing

00:34:54.600 pants.

00:34:55.520 So he's

00:34:55.780 always got

00:34:56.120 this wide-eyed

00:34:58.340 face like

00:34:58.960 whatever's going

00:35:00.360 on below the

00:35:01.520 camera view is

00:35:03.420 probably more

00:35:04.020 exciting than

00:35:04.640 whatever's

00:35:05.060 happening above

00:35:05.740 the chest, if

00:35:06.460 you know what

00:35:06.840 I mean.

00:35:07.940 All right.

00:35:10.080 That's just the

00:35:11.020 best story

00:35:11.640 ever.

00:35:15.220 Let's talk

00:35:15.920 about something

00:35:16.480 else.

00:35:17.440 So rapper

00:35:19.320 50 Cent saw

00:35:21.460 Joe Biden's

00:35:22.440 tax plan,

00:35:23.500 which would

00:35:24.120 tax him in

00:35:24.880 California,

00:35:26.020 at 62%.

00:35:27.560 62%.

00:35:29.980 I don't know

00:35:30.580 why I'm laughing

00:35:31.100 because that

00:35:31.520 would be my

00:35:32.060 tax rate if

00:35:34.260 Biden wins.

00:35:35.440 62%.

00:35:36.720 And 50 Cent

00:35:38.140 said basically

00:35:38.980 screw that in

00:35:40.360 the endorsed

00:35:40.860 Trump.

00:35:42.620 And so I

00:35:43.540 tweeted about

00:35:44.320 50 Cent's

00:35:45.820 endorsement.

00:35:46.940 I said no

00:35:47.380 one wants to

00:35:47.900 be 19 Cent.

00:35:49.980 Now I don't

00:35:50.880 know how many

00:35:51.400 people check

00:35:52.020 my math, but

00:35:54.160 if you tax

00:35:54.980 50 Cent as

00:35:56.180 62%, you

00:35:57.380 end up with

00:35:57.820 19 Cent

00:35:58.500 left over.

00:35:59.940 So 50 Cent

00:36:01.040 doesn't want to

00:36:01.600 be 19 Cent.

00:36:05.400 So let's

00:36:06.240 talk about

00:36:06.760 the real

00:36:07.320 news.

00:36:08.960 So the

00:36:09.600 biggest,

00:36:09.960 it looks

00:36:10.440 like the

00:36:10.780 biggest

00:36:11.240 problem for

00:36:12.620 Biden that's

00:36:14.420 coming out of

00:36:14.960 these emails,

00:36:15.960 the Hunter

00:36:16.700 Biden emails

00:36:17.460 on the

00:36:17.820 laptops, is

00:36:19.380 the reference

00:36:20.180 to, it

00:36:21.960 says, 10

00:36:22.700 held by H

00:36:23.700 for the

00:36:24.140 big guy.

00:36:25.200 H, we

00:36:25.920 believe, is

00:36:26.420 Hunter.

00:36:27.220 The big

00:36:27.640 guy, we

00:36:28.200 believe, is

00:36:28.980 his dad.

00:36:31.060 And in

00:36:31.460 the context

00:36:32.300 of the

00:36:32.640 email, the

00:36:33.120 10 being

00:36:33.600 held was

00:36:34.380 money.

00:36:35.260 money.

00:36:36.540 So the

00:36:38.040 way the

00:36:38.540 email looks,

00:36:40.180 it's a little

00:36:40.700 cryptic, but

00:36:41.820 it sure looks

00:36:42.640 as if Hunter

00:36:43.920 is saying that

00:36:44.560 he's going to

00:36:45.080 hold some

00:36:45.580 money so

00:36:46.620 that there's

00:36:47.640 no digital

00:36:48.240 record of

00:36:49.020 his dad

00:36:49.520 getting the

00:36:49.980 money, but

00:36:50.380 it would be

00:36:50.780 for the

00:36:51.160 benefit of

00:36:51.680 his dad,

00:36:53.040 the big

00:36:53.580 guy.

00:36:53.860 And what

00:36:58.100 happened by

00:36:58.820 coincidence is

00:36:59.960 that because

00:37:00.520 the debate is

00:37:01.980 scheduled on

00:37:02.640 Thursday, it

00:37:03.900 allowed Joe

00:37:04.500 Biden to put

00:37:05.420 a lid on and

00:37:06.820 pretend that

00:37:07.480 he's using all

00:37:08.280 of that time to

00:37:09.040 practice and

00:37:10.020 get ready for

00:37:10.600 the debate.

00:37:12.400 Because he

00:37:13.120 can't be in

00:37:13.680 public because

00:37:14.820 he'll be asked

00:37:15.460 that question.

00:37:17.200 Right?

00:37:17.640 So he has to

00:37:18.860 stay completely

00:37:19.580 out of the

00:37:19.980 public because

00:37:20.860 even if he

00:37:21.540 refuses to

00:37:22.460 take questions,

00:37:23.860 the video will

00:37:24.720 be people

00:37:25.260 shouting questions

00:37:26.460 at him and

00:37:27.080 him not

00:37:27.440 answering, or

00:37:28.560 he might

00:37:28.940 answer awkwardly

00:37:30.620 or angrily or

00:37:32.300 something like

00:37:32.800 that.

00:37:33.640 But it is

00:37:35.420 amazing to

00:37:37.800 me that this

00:37:38.820 story is out

00:37:39.560 there and is

00:37:40.580 being completely

00:37:41.740 ignored by the

00:37:43.540 media on the

00:37:44.180 left.

00:37:44.900 Now, could it

00:37:45.580 be that if you

00:37:46.940 ask Joe Biden

00:37:47.760 what does this

00:37:48.360 mean, or you

00:37:49.080 ask Hunter

00:37:49.640 Biden what does

00:37:50.340 this sentence

00:37:50.860 mean, maybe

00:37:52.280 they have a good

00:37:52.860 explanation.

00:37:53.860 But they

00:37:54.580 haven't offered

00:37:55.120 one.

00:37:56.180 What does it

00:37:56.740 tell you that

00:37:57.720 neither Hunter

00:37:58.420 Biden nor

00:37:59.080 Joe Biden have

00:38:00.320 offered a

00:38:01.040 denial about

00:38:02.020 the laptops, a

00:38:03.560 denial about

00:38:04.400 the emails being

00:38:05.640 accurate, haven't

00:38:07.160 said a word about

00:38:07.980 the truth of

00:38:08.600 them, which of

00:38:09.260 course tells you

00:38:10.000 that they know

00:38:10.920 they're accurate.

00:38:13.240 Here's what one

00:38:14.860 of the articles

00:38:15.440 on CNN said.

00:38:17.380 It was talking

00:38:18.200 about Trump

00:38:18.740 saying that Barr

00:38:19.520 should appoint

00:38:20.280 somebody before

00:38:20.980 the election to

00:38:21.680 investigate.

00:38:22.200 And this is

00:38:23.580 the sentence

00:38:24.160 on CNN.

00:38:25.020 It said,

00:38:25.960 Trump says

00:38:26.900 Barr must,

00:38:27.660 quote, appoint

00:38:28.240 somebody before

00:38:29.560 election to

00:38:30.400 investigate the

00:38:31.900 baseless Biden

00:38:32.920 claims.

00:38:34.600 Baseless?

00:38:35.840 What do you

00:38:36.560 mean baseless?

00:38:37.660 I just read you

00:38:38.680 the sentence in

00:38:40.260 the email on

00:38:41.980 the laptop that

00:38:44.120 indicates an

00:38:45.540 obvious crime,

00:38:47.200 crime, which

00:38:48.220 would be, if

00:38:49.260 true, would be

00:38:50.940 such a horrendous

00:38:53.120 crime and

00:38:54.080 abusive office

00:38:55.040 that it would

00:38:55.860 change the

00:38:56.920 entire nature

00:38:57.780 of politics

00:38:58.880 and if not

00:38:59.980 the world,

00:39:01.020 because whoever's

00:39:02.180 president in the

00:39:02.960 United States has

00:39:03.700 a big impact on

00:39:04.900 the world.

00:39:06.080 And CNN has

00:39:08.040 the gigantic

00:39:09.580 brass balls to

00:39:11.900 say it's

00:39:12.380 baseless.

00:39:13.000 what would

00:39:14.880 be their

00:39:15.380 backing to

00:39:17.700 say that

00:39:18.160 this evidence,

00:39:19.200 which might

00:39:19.720 not be true,

00:39:20.840 it might not

00:39:21.340 be exactly what

00:39:22.340 it looks like,

00:39:23.180 might not be,

00:39:24.360 but is it

00:39:24.980 baseless?

00:39:26.200 This is the

00:39:26.980 base.

00:39:28.500 This is the

00:39:29.140 base.

00:39:29.760 So they just

00:39:30.460 don't report

00:39:31.340 it and they

00:39:32.680 can call it

00:39:33.240 baseless.

00:39:34.440 Watching this

00:39:35.260 happen in real

00:39:36.040 time is so

00:39:37.380 mind-boggling to

00:39:39.080 see that, you

00:39:40.340 know, our

00:39:40.980 trusted institutions

00:39:43.020 have fallen this

00:39:43.980 far, you don't

00:39:46.320 even know what

00:39:46.780 to say about

00:39:47.480 it because it

00:39:48.640 is so beyond

00:39:50.420 imaginable,

00:39:51.920 really.

00:39:53.020 But, of

00:39:53.740 course, boosting

00:39:54.820 this ridiculous

00:39:56.200 stance that it's

00:39:57.800 a baseless

00:39:58.400 claim, as you

00:40:00.540 know, Clapper

00:40:01.320 and Brennan

00:40:01.900 and 50 other

00:40:04.300 ex-Intel

00:40:05.580 people have

00:40:07.140 put out a

00:40:07.800 letter in

00:40:08.560 which they

00:40:09.000 say, let's

00:40:10.580 see, what

00:40:10.860 did they

00:40:11.120 say, outlining

00:40:12.800 their belief

00:40:13.480 that the

00:40:14.040 recent disclosure

00:40:15.080 of emails

00:40:15.800 allegedly

00:40:16.940 belonging to

00:40:18.640 Joe Biden.

00:40:20.340 Really?

00:40:21.120 Allegedly?

00:40:22.300 Now, I

00:40:22.800 get that

00:40:24.340 anything could

00:40:25.000 be wrong,

00:40:25.940 but allegedly,

00:40:27.180 okay, I'll

00:40:29.160 keep it with

00:40:30.240 allegedly, because

00:40:31.180 they could be

00:40:32.680 fake, it's

00:40:33.420 not impossible,

00:40:35.120 just unlikely,

00:40:36.420 given that they

00:40:37.000 haven't denied

00:40:37.800 it.

00:40:38.020 And they

00:40:39.480 said they

00:40:39.860 outlined their

00:40:40.600 belief that

00:40:41.440 has all the

00:40:43.600 classic earmarks

00:40:44.680 of a Russian

00:40:45.400 information

00:40:46.120 operation, even

00:40:47.900 though they

00:40:48.420 acknowledge in

00:40:49.140 the letter that

00:40:50.360 there is no

00:40:51.140 evidence

00:40:51.700 whatsoever that

00:40:53.240 it is a

00:40:53.740 Russian

00:40:54.080 disinformation

00:40:55.360 operation.

00:40:57.180 Think about

00:40:58.040 the balls of

00:40:58.880 this.

00:40:59.640 These are the

00:41:00.340 same assholes,

00:41:01.800 Clapper and

00:41:02.540 Brennan, who

00:41:03.640 have been caught

00:41:04.620 pushing the

00:41:06.320 biggest

00:41:06.780 disinformation

00:41:08.000 campaign in

00:41:09.200 the history of

00:41:09.800 the United

00:41:10.200 States, I

00:41:10.900 think, which

00:41:11.920 is the Russia 0.78

00:41:12.520 collusion hoax.

00:41:14.320 They did it,

00:41:15.900 they got caught,

00:41:17.520 it's documented,

00:41:19.280 and they're just

00:41:20.500 doing it again.

00:41:22.040 They're doing it

00:41:23.060 again.

00:41:24.240 How can they

00:41:25.120 have the guts

00:41:25.960 to do this?

00:41:27.580 This is the

00:41:28.340 most gutsy,

00:41:29.920 just crazy,

00:41:31.700 thing that I've

00:41:32.620 ever seen.

00:41:33.180 Because is there

00:41:34.400 anybody in the

00:41:35.340 country who

00:41:36.580 reads this and

00:41:37.400 doesn't know that

00:41:38.600 these are the

00:41:39.340 same guys,

00:41:40.860 literally, who

00:41:41.940 just ran a

00:41:43.980 coup attempt

00:41:44.560 against the

00:41:45.100 United States

00:41:45.860 with a massive

00:41:47.080 disinformation

00:41:47.880 campaign against

00:41:49.320 the citizens of

00:41:50.240 this country,

00:41:51.500 blaming Russia,

00:41:52.920 and they're just

00:41:53.560 going to do it

00:41:54.060 again?

00:41:55.100 They're just

00:41:55.460 going to do it

00:41:55.960 again?

00:41:57.380 I don't know

00:41:58.440 even what to say

00:41:59.320 about that.

00:42:00.020 My head is

00:42:00.480 going blah, blah,

00:42:01.260 blah, blah, blah,

00:42:01.660 blah, blah.

00:42:01.940 Well, and

00:42:02.920 apparently there's

00:42:04.400 nothing we can

00:42:05.040 do about it

00:42:05.840 because as long

00:42:07.280 as the news

00:42:09.620 treats it like

00:42:10.360 it doesn't

00:42:10.840 exist, and

00:42:12.660 the Republicans

00:42:13.280 probably don't

00:42:13.900 have enough

00:42:14.400 power and

00:42:16.140 may have even

00:42:16.860 less power to

00:42:17.600 do anything

00:42:18.040 about it,

00:42:19.120 if Joe Biden

00:42:20.120 wins, it

00:42:22.220 just goes

00:42:22.640 away.

00:42:23.500 It just goes

00:42:24.460 away, and they

00:42:24.920 probably get

00:42:25.480 government jobs

00:42:26.460 and stuff.

00:42:26.880 So I tweeted

00:42:30.260 this this

00:42:30.920 morning that

00:42:31.500 got a lot

00:42:32.020 of pick

00:42:33.500 up.

00:42:33.940 I said,

00:42:34.480 is it my

00:42:34.820 imagination or

00:42:35.880 our ex-intel

00:42:36.720 heads from

00:42:37.740 the Obama

00:42:38.260 Biden

00:42:38.800 administration

00:42:39.540 running a

00:42:40.380 completely

00:42:40.860 obvious

00:42:41.620 disinformation

00:42:42.780 campaign on

00:42:43.720 the American

00:42:44.160 public while

00:42:45.500 asking to be

00:42:46.400 returned to

00:42:47.020 power?

00:42:48.340 That's actually

00:42:49.400 what's happening,

00:42:50.860 and I'm not

00:42:52.340 guessing.

00:42:53.580 I'm not

00:42:54.280 guessing.

00:42:56.080 It's right in

00:42:56.940 front of us.

00:42:57.880 There's nothing

00:42:58.420 hidden about it,

00:42:59.440 and they even

00:43:00.320 say in their

00:43:00.920 letter that they

00:43:01.700 have no evidence

00:43:02.460 that it's Russia.

00:43:03.600 It just looks

00:43:04.740 like a Russian 0.99

00:43:05.380 disinformation

00:43:06.000 campaign.

00:43:07.340 Do you know

00:43:07.720 what else it

00:43:08.260 looks like?

00:43:09.860 It has all

00:43:11.200 of the, let's

00:43:12.020 see, to use

00:43:12.560 their words, it

00:43:13.780 has all of the

00:43:14.560 classic earmarks

00:43:15.620 of the same

00:43:16.580 fucking thing you 0.99

00:43:17.620 did in 2016,

00:43:19.000 17, and

00:43:19.720 18.

00:43:20.500 Do you know

00:43:21.140 what classic

00:43:21.820 earmarks this

00:43:22.800 has?

00:43:23.580 It has the

00:43:24.520 classic earmarks

00:43:25.620 of you fucking 0.99

00:43:26.720 guys trying to

00:43:27.720 overthrow the

00:43:28.400 country again

00:43:29.200 with a

00:43:30.000 disinformation

00:43:30.560 campaign against

00:43:31.720 the American

00:43:32.280 people.

00:43:33.160 You should be

00:43:33.760 in jail.

00:43:35.160 This should be

00:43:35.740 jailable.

00:43:36.360 I don't know

00:43:36.680 what crime it

00:43:37.320 is, but it

00:43:38.680 should be

00:43:39.040 jailable.

00:43:39.660 If you've

00:43:40.260 ever been

00:43:40.860 a head of

00:43:42.700 a U.S.

00:43:44.020 intel agency,

00:43:45.480 and then

00:43:45.980 after you've

00:43:46.960 left office,

00:43:48.180 you run a

00:43:49.400 disinformation

00:43:49.940 campaign against

00:43:51.080 the American

00:43:51.740 people,

00:43:52.800 that ought

00:43:54.800 to be a

00:43:55.440 crime.

00:43:56.620 Can we

00:43:56.960 not make

00:43:57.480 a crime?

00:43:58.120 Can Congress

00:43:59.160 not pass a

00:44:00.640 law that

00:44:01.540 says you

00:44:01.860 can't run

00:44:02.480 a disinformation

00:44:03.360 campaign if

00:44:04.760 you used to

00:44:05.300 be the head

00:44:05.720 of the CIA

00:44:06.380 or head

00:44:07.440 of an

00:44:07.680 intel agency?

00:44:08.660 I feel like

00:44:09.500 that's important.

00:44:12.200 It's amazing.

00:44:13.900 All right.

00:44:14.180 And why

00:44:17.320 is it not

00:44:17.820 the only

00:44:18.340 headline?

00:44:20.340 Can you

00:44:20.740 think of

00:44:21.240 every story

00:44:21.920 that's

00:44:22.180 happening?

00:44:22.780 Of course,

00:44:23.200 the election

00:44:23.640 is a big

00:44:24.020 deal.

00:44:24.440 Coronavirus

00:44:24.800 is always

00:44:25.440 a big

00:44:25.740 deal.

00:44:26.500 But what

00:44:27.060 is a

00:44:27.460 bigger story

00:44:28.380 than 50

00:44:30.100 intel agencies,

00:44:31.560 including

00:44:31.880 two heads,

00:44:33.920 are running

00:44:34.600 an obvious,

00:44:36.300 and obvious

00:44:36.880 is the

00:44:37.340 key word.

00:44:38.240 There's not

00:44:38.640 any question

00:44:39.400 about it.

00:44:40.460 An obvious

00:44:41.120 disinformation

00:44:41.880 campaign against

00:44:42.900 the American

00:44:43.440 people, why

00:44:44.700 are we

00:44:45.020 talking about

00:44:45.560 anything else?

00:44:47.260 There's

00:44:47.600 nothing going

00:44:49.660 on that's

00:44:50.460 on the same

00:44:50.940 level as

00:44:51.560 this, and

00:44:52.480 CNN and

00:44:53.760 the whole

00:44:54.160 left will

00:44:54.760 just disappear

00:44:55.940 it.

00:44:56.780 They'll just

00:44:57.100 make it go

00:44:57.600 away.

00:44:58.540 And that's

00:44:58.940 what's happening

00:44:59.380 right in front

00:44:59.840 of you.

00:45:00.900 So Ice Cube,

00:45:02.160 you all know

00:45:02.680 Ice Cube,

00:45:05.220 he's decided

00:45:06.560 that he was

00:45:07.360 willing to

00:45:07.900 talk to the

00:45:08.420 Trump

00:45:08.620 administration

00:45:09.100 about his

00:45:09.920 plan for

00:45:11.220 black America,

00:45:12.280 and he's

00:45:12.760 also talked

00:45:13.380 to some

00:45:13.920 Biden people. 1.00

00:45:15.160 And of

00:45:15.400 course, he's

00:45:15.800 taking tremendous

00:45:16.640 heat from

00:45:17.260 the black

00:45:18.180 community for

00:45:19.880 talking to the

00:45:20.640 Trump campaign

00:45:21.300 at all, because

00:45:22.380 the feeling is

00:45:23.200 that you

00:45:23.560 shouldn't work

00:45:24.160 with them

00:45:24.580 because they're

00:45:25.060 so bad.

00:45:26.320 You're selling

00:45:27.160 out any

00:45:28.560 number of

00:45:29.080 names that

00:45:29.560 you get

00:45:29.860 called if

00:45:30.960 you work

00:45:31.440 with white

00:45:32.180 people in

00:45:32.900 power.

00:45:34.920 And here's

00:45:35.680 my take on

00:45:36.300 that.

00:45:37.040 And I tweeted

00:45:37.580 that Ice Cube

00:45:38.220 is demonstrating

00:45:38.920 a winning

00:45:39.420 strategy by

00:45:40.800 putting

00:45:41.160 effectiveness

00:45:41.880 ahead of

00:45:42.680 ego, and

00:45:44.480 that his

00:45:44.860 critics are

00:45:45.520 demonstrating

00:45:46.040 the opposite

00:45:46.660 by putting

00:45:48.820 their ego

00:45:49.540 ahead of

00:45:51.060 effectiveness.

00:45:53.240 Ice Cube

00:45:53.860 is doing

00:45:54.860 one of the

00:45:56.860 most important

00:45:57.640 things that's

00:45:59.440 happening today.

00:46:00.760 It's one of

00:46:01.440 the most

00:46:01.760 important things,

00:46:03.080 which is that

00:46:04.200 he's role

00:46:05.380 modeling how

00:46:07.100 to be

00:46:07.340 effective.

00:46:07.740 the thing

00:46:09.280 that I

00:46:09.640 don't think

00:46:10.080 black America

00:46:10.940 understands

00:46:11.680 about white

00:46:13.140 people is

00:46:14.540 that white 0.95

00:46:14.900 people don't

00:46:15.520 like acting

00:46:16.240 like white

00:46:16.780 people.

00:46:17.960 I don't

00:46:18.640 like dressing

00:46:19.500 the way I

00:46:20.080 dress, because

00:46:21.400 I would love

00:46:22.140 to dress like

00:46:22.980 any fashionable

00:46:24.360 black guy,

00:46:26.060 because why

00:46:26.460 does it seem

00:46:26.940 like black 0.99

00:46:27.380 guys are all

00:46:28.000 well-dressed?

00:46:29.740 Am I right?

00:46:30.960 And whereas

00:46:31.380 I've got my

00:46:32.300 stupid khakis 1.00

00:46:33.080 on or whatever

00:46:33.720 the hell I'm

00:46:34.200 wearing, and I

00:46:35.260 just look like

00:46:35.920 every other

00:46:36.480 white guy in

00:46:37.020 the world, I

00:46:37.860 don't want to

00:46:38.220 act like a

00:46:39.300 white guy, but

00:46:40.660 I can't pull

00:46:41.820 off the other

00:46:42.420 looks, so I

00:46:43.060 don't really

00:46:43.340 have that

00:46:43.660 option.

00:46:44.740 Likewise, I

00:46:46.020 don't want to

00:46:46.640 be nice to

00:46:48.140 my boss just

00:46:50.200 because I want

00:46:50.860 to raise

00:46:51.340 later.

00:46:52.460 There are a

00:46:53.060 whole bunch

00:46:53.360 of behaviors

00:46:53.940 where your

00:46:55.500 average white

00:46:56.360 guy is sort

00:46:57.500 of sucking it 0.99

00:46:58.380 up and playing

00:46:59.160 along and doing

00:47:00.400 what is expected

00:47:01.280 and going with

00:47:02.800 the flow.

00:47:03.920 We don't like

00:47:04.480 any of that.

00:47:05.120 But the

00:47:06.200 reason we do

00:47:06.840 it, the

00:47:07.860 reason we

00:47:08.420 sublimate our

00:47:09.660 egos, is

00:47:11.140 because it's

00:47:11.760 effective.

00:47:12.900 It works.

00:47:14.080 So if I can

00:47:15.440 manage my

00:47:16.240 ego down, then

00:47:17.960 I can take a

00:47:18.620 job with a

00:47:19.340 terrible boss and

00:47:20.500 terrible conditions,

00:47:21.840 but I can turn

00:47:23.020 that into something

00:47:23.780 good for me and

00:47:24.860 my family, right?

00:47:25.960 So I'm going to

00:47:26.920 lower my ego,

00:47:29.180 eat a pound of

00:47:30.620 crap, to get

00:47:32.660 something done.

00:47:34.520 And that's

00:47:35.740 what Ice Cube

00:47:36.860 is doing.

00:47:38.080 He, of course,

00:47:39.140 had to know that

00:47:40.580 talking to the

00:47:41.260 Trump administration

00:47:42.040 on this topic was

00:47:43.880 going to cause

00:47:44.460 him to eat ten

00:47:45.980 buckets of crap

00:47:47.000 from the people

00:47:48.240 that used to be

00:47:48.900 his friends a day

00:47:49.640 ago.

00:47:50.180 He knows it's a

00:47:51.100 reputation hit.

00:47:52.600 He knows it

00:47:53.300 doesn't make him

00:47:53.940 look cool to the

00:47:56.360 people he might

00:47:57.600 want to look cool

00:47:58.240 to.

00:47:59.320 He's taking a

00:48:00.280 risk.

00:48:01.160 It's a big

00:48:01.880 one.

00:48:02.920 And so he's

00:48:03.800 also modeling

00:48:04.580 how to succeed

00:48:05.920 because Ice Cube,

00:48:08.340 remember I've told

00:48:08.960 you this quote

00:48:10.980 that is just my

00:48:12.220 favorite quote

00:48:12.960 about success.

00:48:14.300 I always feel

00:48:15.880 bad because I

00:48:16.380 don't know who

00:48:16.800 said it first.

00:48:17.500 I just stole it

00:48:18.460 from somebody.

00:48:19.000 I heard it once.

00:48:20.400 And it's this.

00:48:21.920 If you want to

00:48:22.640 be successful,

00:48:24.340 figure out the

00:48:25.180 price and then

00:48:26.660 pay it.

00:48:28.380 Figure out the

00:48:29.200 price of success

00:48:30.160 and then pay

00:48:30.900 it and then

00:48:31.980 you'll be

00:48:32.260 successful.

00:48:33.480 Ice Cube

00:48:33.940 figured out the

00:48:34.680 price of success.

00:48:36.540 So not only did

00:48:37.940 he do the work

00:48:39.060 of putting

00:48:39.500 together a

00:48:40.540 plan, he did

00:48:42.480 the work.

00:48:43.280 He's not just

00:48:43.880 a celebrity who's

00:48:45.680 talking on Twitter

00:48:46.600 or something.

00:48:47.100 He did the work.

00:48:48.340 He put together

00:48:49.120 a plan.

00:48:50.640 Congratulations,

00:48:51.420 Ice Cube.

00:48:52.120 I appreciate that.

00:48:52.920 As a citizen

00:48:54.280 and as a

00:48:55.740 patriot, thank

00:48:57.280 you.

00:48:58.140 Thank you for

00:48:58.760 doing that.

00:48:59.180 Now, I might

00:48:59.700 not like any

00:49:00.360 of the ideas

00:49:00.920 on there.

00:49:01.680 I haven't

00:49:02.020 looked at

00:49:02.380 them in

00:49:02.620 detail, but

00:49:03.760 I certainly

00:49:04.740 appreciate the

00:49:07.200 American-ness of

00:49:09.460 putting the plan

00:49:10.100 together and

00:49:10.640 promoting it.

00:49:11.460 But he did

00:49:12.000 this at great

00:49:12.680 personal expense.

00:49:14.460 So he took

00:49:15.200 the advice.

00:49:16.460 You want to

00:49:17.200 succeed, figure

00:49:18.820 out the price,

00:49:20.520 and then pay

00:49:21.120 it.

00:49:21.980 So Ice Cube

00:49:22.760 figured out the

00:49:23.600 price, which

00:49:25.020 was you've got to

00:49:25.660 put a plan

00:49:26.180 together, and

00:49:27.320 you're going to

00:49:27.660 have to make

00:49:28.120 yourself look

00:49:29.080 really, really

00:49:29.840 bad, because

00:49:31.700 you're going to

00:49:31.980 have to work

00:49:32.440 with some

00:49:32.820 people that

00:49:33.880 other people

00:49:34.400 think you

00:49:34.800 shouldn't be

00:49:35.180 talking to.

00:49:36.080 He figured

00:49:36.700 out the

00:49:37.100 price, and

00:49:38.800 then he

00:49:39.060 paid it.

00:49:40.380 So if this

00:49:41.240 isn't one of

00:49:41.860 the best

00:49:42.700 American things

00:49:43.840 going on, I

00:49:45.240 don't know

00:49:45.460 what is.

00:49:47.600 Compare that

00:49:48.440 to Robert

00:49:49.300 Reich, noted

00:49:51.340 Democratic

00:49:52.500 booster, who

00:49:53.900 wrote this

00:49:54.440 tweet.

00:49:54.800 And just

00:49:55.560 compare these

00:49:56.260 two people,

00:49:57.420 not the

00:49:58.440 people, but

00:49:59.040 their strategies.

00:50:01.140 This is Robert

00:50:02.100 Reich.

00:50:02.540 He says,

00:50:03.420 when this

00:50:03.820 nightmare is

00:50:04.480 over, talking

00:50:05.220 about our

00:50:06.100 current situation,

00:50:07.400 we need a

00:50:07.960 truth and

00:50:08.600 reconciliation

00:50:09.320 commission.

00:50:11.100 All in

00:50:11.540 capitals,

00:50:12.120 truth and

00:50:12.600 reconciliation

00:50:13.160 commission.

00:50:13.800 It would

00:50:14.760 erase Trump's

00:50:16.220 lies, comfort

00:50:17.560 those who have

00:50:18.240 been harmed by

00:50:19.120 his hatefulness,

00:50:20.540 and name every

00:50:21.360 official,

00:50:22.060 politician,

00:50:22.600 executive, and

00:50:24.080 media mogul

00:50:24.860 whose greed

00:50:25.940 and cowardice

00:50:26.740 enabled this

00:50:27.660 catastrophe.

00:50:29.120 So Robert

00:50:29.600 Reich is

00:50:31.060 putting together

00:50:31.900 a strategy to

00:50:32.840 make Americans

00:50:33.540 hate each

00:50:34.080 other and

00:50:34.760 start a

00:50:35.440 civil war.

00:50:37.360 How does

00:50:38.040 that work?

00:50:39.680 How is that

00:50:40.620 good for

00:50:41.100 America?

00:50:42.340 This is

00:50:43.060 terrible.

00:50:44.640 Don't follow

00:50:45.300 this guy's

00:50:46.000 example.

00:50:47.060 This is the

00:50:47.560 worst, this

00:50:49.800 may be one of

00:50:50.500 the worst

00:50:50.860 things you've

00:50:51.400 ever seen

00:50:51.880 tweeted, and

00:50:53.440 I mean that

00:50:53.940 seriously, one

00:50:54.980 of the worst

00:50:55.640 things ever

00:50:57.920 tweeted, because

00:50:59.440 this is giving,

00:51:02.260 sort of making

00:51:04.160 normal, essentially

00:51:07.080 a Nazi policy of

00:51:09.040 hunting down the

00:51:09.780 people who lost

00:51:10.480 the election and

00:51:11.680 punishing them.

00:51:13.380 He's trying to

00:51:14.300 normalize Nazi

00:51:15.600 behavior.

00:51:17.080 Now compare that

00:51:17.920 to Ice Cube,

00:51:19.200 who's putting a

00:51:20.060 plan together to

00:51:21.580 help a community

00:51:22.820 that needs some

00:51:24.120 help, and he's

00:51:25.480 working with

00:51:26.040 people that are

00:51:27.120 hard to work

00:51:27.720 with, and it's

00:51:28.540 going to cost

00:51:29.040 them a lot,

00:51:30.000 putting his

00:51:30.460 reputation, his

00:51:31.520 ego on the

00:51:32.180 line.

00:51:32.920 Don't compare

00:51:33.620 these two

00:51:34.100 people.

00:51:35.200 Ice Cube, A

00:51:36.140 Plus.

00:51:37.280 Robert Reich,

00:51:38.840 garbage.

00:51:40.420 Just garbage.

00:51:42.240 This is just

00:51:44.780 embarrassingly bad

00:51:47.240 for the country.

00:51:47.880 On a more

00:51:49.840 positive note,

00:51:51.480 every now and

00:51:52.200 then, I will

00:51:53.100 see a politician

00:51:54.080 doing good

00:51:55.000 things, and I'll

00:51:55.620 say to myself,

00:51:56.740 I'm glad that

00:51:57.500 person's on the

00:51:59.200 case.

00:52:00.160 And I say that

00:52:00.940 every now and

00:52:01.520 then about Ted

00:52:02.280 Cruz.

00:52:03.740 The context here

00:52:05.000 is that, I

00:52:06.520 guess, Mark

00:52:07.140 Zuckerberg and

00:52:08.100 Jack Dorsey,

00:52:09.480 separately, they're

00:52:10.420 going to testify

00:52:11.220 to Congress, and

00:52:13.000 I guess,

00:52:13.360 Google's CEO,

00:52:16.960 Sundar Pichet.

00:52:20.080 So next

00:52:20.840 Wednesday, they're

00:52:21.520 going to talk to

00:52:22.200 the Senate

00:52:22.500 Commerce Committee,

00:52:24.220 and they're going

00:52:24.840 to be talking

00:52:25.260 about Section

00:52:25.920 230, the

00:52:26.960 Communications

00:52:27.520 Decency Act,

00:52:28.540 and all that.

00:52:29.640 And Ted Cruz

00:52:30.640 is sort of, I

00:52:31.960 would say he's

00:52:32.520 leading this

00:52:35.160 issue.

00:52:36.500 And can you

00:52:38.780 think of anybody

00:52:39.380 better?

00:52:41.140 I mean,

00:52:41.540 really?

00:52:41.820 Yeah, as much

00:52:43.560 as I just, you

00:52:44.480 know, insulted

00:52:45.000 Robert Reich for

00:52:46.100 doing the wrong

00:52:47.240 thing, Ted Cruz

00:52:48.820 has, you know,

00:52:49.920 argued to the

00:52:50.820 Supreme Court a

00:52:51.720 number of times

00:52:52.460 and won.

00:52:53.440 I don't think he

00:52:54.240 won every one, but

00:52:55.140 he's won more

00:52:55.800 than he lost.

00:52:56.880 And he is really,

00:52:58.520 really good at

00:52:59.320 communicating.

00:53:00.280 He knows the

00:53:00.920 law at the

00:53:01.800 highest possible

00:53:02.580 level, and

00:53:03.640 that's what this

00:53:04.480 is about.

00:53:05.040 This is effectively

00:53:06.020 a Supreme

00:53:07.540 Court-y,

00:53:08.700 Congress-y

00:53:09.480 level thing.

00:53:10.960 And are you

00:53:12.300 glad that Ted

00:53:13.960 Cruz is on

00:53:14.760 the job?

00:53:16.220 Just sort of a

00:53:17.140 general compliment

00:53:17.900 to Ted Cruz.

00:53:20.340 You know, he's

00:53:21.120 not the only one

00:53:21.840 who does good

00:53:22.560 work, but, you

00:53:24.120 know, when I

00:53:24.500 see his name

00:53:25.180 attached to a

00:53:26.680 topic like this,

00:53:28.040 I feel better,

00:53:30.480 because he's

00:53:31.420 hyper-capable in

00:53:33.340 this exact

00:53:34.020 stuff.

00:53:34.460 And I guess

00:53:37.340 the Trump

00:53:37.780 administration is

00:53:38.740 going to sue

00:53:39.300 Google, maybe

00:53:41.040 today, I

00:53:43.460 don't know, or

00:53:44.160 next week, or

00:53:44.880 sometime soon.

00:53:46.420 They're going to

00:53:47.040 sue him over

00:53:47.820 allegations of

00:53:49.740 rigging search,

00:53:51.360 I guess.

00:53:53.120 So that's

00:53:53.880 coming.

00:53:54.880 So here's

00:53:55.400 something else on

00:53:56.140 CNN, which

00:53:56.860 probably explains

00:53:58.100 why they get

00:53:58.780 everything wrong.

00:53:59.860 So there's an

00:54:01.500 opinion article

00:54:02.160 here, which

00:54:04.200 they're talking

00:54:04.580 about Trump, and

00:54:05.060 he says his

00:54:05.560 entire campaign

00:54:06.460 is based on

00:54:07.200 triggering a

00:54:08.660 massive mobilization

00:54:09.920 of his political

00:54:10.760 base, blah, blah,

00:54:11.720 talks about masks

00:54:13.980 and stuff.

00:54:15.720 And then it

00:54:16.660 says of Trump

00:54:17.720 that as

00:54:19.180 president he

00:54:19.860 has, quote,

00:54:20.560 a duty to

00:54:21.440 keep all

00:54:21.960 Americans safe.

00:54:24.080 Would you

00:54:24.780 agree to that?

00:54:26.080 Is it

00:54:26.560 Trump's job

00:54:28.060 as president,

00:54:29.380 as CNN says

00:54:30.520 in this opinion

00:54:31.260 piece, to

00:54:32.140 to, is it

00:54:33.220 his duty to

00:54:34.100 keep all

00:54:34.700 Americans safe?

00:54:36.660 I don't think

00:54:37.720 it is.

00:54:39.000 Right?

00:54:40.420 Does CNN not

00:54:41.480 know the job

00:54:42.220 description of

00:54:43.020 the president?

00:54:44.420 Because I'm

00:54:45.640 pretty sure that's

00:54:46.440 not his job

00:54:47.220 description, to

00:54:48.140 keep all

00:54:48.620 Americans safe.

00:54:50.360 My understanding

00:54:51.680 is that his

00:54:53.100 job description

00:54:53.960 is to balance

00:54:56.020 the interests

00:54:56.780 of Americans.

00:54:58.880 Right?

00:54:59.220 safety would

00:55:01.020 be one of

00:55:01.780 the interests

00:55:02.380 which the

00:55:03.580 president balances.

00:55:04.960 If the

00:55:05.520 president decides

00:55:06.420 in his role

00:55:07.140 as commander-in-chief

00:55:08.140 to go to war

00:55:08.940 to protect the

00:55:10.180 country, is he

00:55:11.700 trying to keep

00:55:12.480 all Americans

00:55:13.060 safe?

00:55:14.280 No.

00:55:15.360 No.

00:55:15.660 He's sending

00:55:16.140 the military

00:55:17.360 into harm's

00:55:18.660 way because

00:55:20.020 all things

00:55:20.880 considered,

00:55:22.300 that's going

00:55:23.420 to be our

00:55:23.740 best outcome

00:55:24.540 of imperfect

00:55:26.020 options.

00:55:27.680 No.

00:55:28.100 It's not the

00:55:29.240 president's job

00:55:30.020 to keep all

00:55:30.640 citizens safe.

00:55:31.820 It is the

00:55:32.580 president's job

00:55:33.420 to make sure

00:55:34.560 the Constitution

00:55:35.360 is followed

00:55:36.120 and that our

00:55:37.680 interests are

00:55:38.380 balanced.

00:55:39.780 And one of

00:55:40.280 our interests

00:55:40.800 is freedom.

00:55:42.140 One of our

00:55:42.700 interests is

00:55:43.480 economics.

00:55:45.220 One of our

00:55:45.800 interests is

00:55:46.360 to lead a

00:55:46.860 quality life.

00:55:48.980 Safety is

00:55:50.100 another interest.

00:55:51.380 It's certainly

00:55:51.940 not our only

00:55:52.580 one.

00:55:52.880 And when

00:55:53.880 you see this

00:55:54.620 kind of a

00:55:55.120 take, that

00:55:56.060 it's the

00:55:56.520 president's

00:55:57.060 job to keep

00:55:57.680 all Americans

00:55:58.560 safe, I

00:56:01.160 would say to

00:56:01.600 myself, that

00:56:02.440 would explain

00:56:02.980 why their

00:56:03.400 coverage makes

00:56:04.060 no sense.

00:56:05.180 Because if

00:56:05.780 they believe

00:56:06.320 that's actually

00:56:07.020 the president's

00:56:08.100 job, to

00:56:09.260 keep us all

00:56:10.000 safe, the

00:56:12.400 most impossible

00:56:13.160 thing, then

00:56:15.060 everything they

00:56:15.760 said about the

00:56:16.320 president wouldn't

00:56:16.960 make sense.

00:56:17.840 Because they'd

00:56:18.500 be starting with

00:56:19.280 not understanding

00:56:20.040 his job.

00:56:21.120 How can they

00:56:21.820 evaluate his

00:56:22.720 job performance

00:56:23.540 when they

00:56:25.120 clearly don't

00:56:25.660 know what

00:56:25.920 his job is?

00:56:27.400 That's not

00:56:27.880 his job.

00:56:29.600 And so

00:56:30.000 everything they

00:56:30.860 say about the

00:56:31.460 coronavirus now

00:56:32.280 makes sense.

00:56:33.300 If they think

00:56:34.160 his job is to

00:56:34.960 keep us all

00:56:35.520 safe, it

00:56:37.480 would make

00:56:37.940 sense that

00:56:39.260 you would

00:56:39.620 really go hard

00:56:40.320 at him for

00:56:40.840 wanting to

00:56:41.240 open up the

00:56:41.720 economy.

00:56:42.820 That all

00:56:43.420 makes sense.

00:56:44.700 But if you

00:56:45.240 knew that his

00:56:45.780 job was to

00:56:46.500 balance our

00:56:47.300 interests and

00:56:48.460 to obey the

00:56:49.140 Constitution, you

00:56:50.780 would say,

00:56:51.260 yeah, what

00:56:52.940 he's doing is

00:56:53.540 right on that

00:56:54.300 target.

00:56:55.560 The president

00:56:56.200 is doing his

00:56:57.380 job of

00:56:58.840 balancing our

00:56:59.520 interests.

00:56:59.920 Now, you

00:57:00.240 might say, I

00:57:00.940 would have

00:57:01.240 balanced them

00:57:01.840 differently.

00:57:02.860 That's fair.

00:57:04.000 But don't

00:57:04.860 tell me it's

00:57:05.620 not his job to

00:57:06.420 balance our

00:57:07.100 interests.

00:57:08.360 That's just

00:57:09.240 wrong.

00:57:10.940 All right, I

00:57:11.640 hope you

00:57:11.940 enjoyed today's

00:57:13.320 Coffee with

00:57:14.480 Scott Adams.

00:57:15.600 It was one of

00:57:16.100 my favorites.

00:57:16.600 I like it

00:57:18.220 when the

00:57:18.500 news is

00:57:18.880 interesting.

00:57:19.880 But all

00:57:20.680 good things

00:57:21.480 have to

00:57:21.760 end, and

00:57:22.520 I will

00:57:22.800 talk to

00:57:23.180 you tomorrow.

00:57:25.240 By the

00:57:25.480 way, before

00:57:26.360 I go, many

00:57:28.240 of you know

00:57:28.680 I have extra

00:57:29.580 content on

00:57:30.680 the Locals

00:57:31.520 platform,

00:57:33.080 locals.com.

00:57:36.420 You can go

00:57:36.860 there and find

00:57:37.420 me for those

00:57:38.200 people who

00:57:38.540 want to

00:57:38.780 subscribe to

00:57:39.420 that.

00:57:40.300 An update,

00:57:41.400 Dr. Drew

00:57:42.360 is now on

00:57:43.380 Locals.

00:57:44.040 Locals, Greg

00:57:46.540 Gottfeld is

00:57:47.620 on Locals

00:57:48.240 with extra

00:57:49.020 content.

00:57:50.580 I believe

00:57:51.060 Kat Timf is

00:57:52.540 on Locals.

00:57:54.040 So Locals 0.99

00:57:54.620 has taken

00:57:55.040 off.

00:57:56.120 And full

00:57:57.840 disclosure, I

00:57:58.700 have a small

00:57:59.480 investment in

00:58:00.740 it as well.

00:58:02.160 So that's all

00:58:03.080 for now, and

00:58:04.320 I will talk to

00:58:04.860 you tomorrow.
