00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.97

00:00:09.760 Hey, everybody. Come on in. Come on in. You found the right place.

00:00:14.840 Of all the places on Earth, nay, in the universe, that you could be, you found the very best place at the right time.

00:00:26.160 Congratulations to you.

00:00:27.480 Your instincts are perfect.

00:00:29.860 And if you'd like to enjoy this even more,

00:00:33.100 I know it's hard to believe, right?

00:00:34.900 Because you're already enjoying it so much,

00:00:36.860 you're thinking, wait, did you say more?

00:00:39.400 I could enjoy this more than I already am?

00:00:43.820 Wait, wait.

00:00:45.580 I know it's hard to believe.

00:00:47.080 But all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:50.120 a tank or chalice or santa,

00:00:51.140 a canteen jug or flask,

00:00:52.220 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:54.200 And fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:56.860 I like coffee.

00:00:58.560 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:01:00.560 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:01:02.540 the thing that makes everything better,

00:01:05.380 everything,

00:01:06.520 except for Rudy Giuliani's shirt.

00:01:10.100 It's called the Simultaneous Sip,

00:01:11.420 and it happens now.

00:01:12.200 Go.

00:01:15.620 Ah.

00:01:18.320 Ah.

00:01:18.880 Ah.

00:01:21.560 Let's talk about all the good stuff.

00:01:24.200 In the news.

00:01:25.540 Because there's lots of it.

00:01:27.620 And in no particular order,

00:01:30.540 once again,

00:01:31.660 we have some new fake news about

00:01:33.700 U.S. officials being allegedly,

00:01:37.360 allegedly,

00:01:38.820 targeted by a sonic weapon

00:01:41.220 all around the world.

00:01:43.480 That's right.

00:01:44.280 It's not just a sonic weapon

00:01:45.940 that is attacking

00:01:47.360 our Cuban embassy,

00:01:49.680 allegedly.

00:01:50.180 It's a sonic weapon

00:01:52.860 that's being used

00:01:53.820 against American officials

00:01:55.760 all over the world.

00:01:58.740 And take a guess.

00:02:01.480 Take a guess

00:02:02.700 who is being credited,

00:02:05.840 or at least suspected,

00:02:07.900 of being behind

00:02:08.960 these totally true attacks

00:02:11.500 that although there is no evidence

00:02:14.240 whatsoever

00:02:14.940 that there is such a weapon

00:02:16.960 that's attacking these people,

00:02:18.360 the complete lack of evidence

00:02:20.740 suggests

00:02:22.160 only one person.

00:02:24.580 That's right.

00:02:25.440 In normal criminal

00:02:26.620 or other kinds of activities,

00:02:29.380 what you would do

00:02:30.500 is you would look for evidence,

00:02:32.640 and then you would say,

00:02:34.020 where does this evidence

00:02:35.120 lead us?

00:02:36.540 And then that would tell you,

00:02:37.480 maybe,

00:02:37.880 if you did it right,

00:02:38.960 that would tell you

00:02:39.680 who was guilty

00:02:40.460 of the crime.

00:02:42.060 But,

00:02:42.640 there's one exception to that.

00:02:44.200 If you find a crime,

00:02:46.620 or an alleged crime

00:02:48.220 that may or may not exist,

00:02:50.360 such as sonic attacks

00:02:52.400 all over the world,

00:02:53.960 if you find no evidence

00:02:56.280 of a weapon,

00:02:58.400 and you find no evidence

00:03:01.000 of anybody behind the attacks,

00:03:03.200 what does that tell you?

00:03:05.460 Obviously,

00:03:06.660 everybody,

00:03:07.420 everybody,

00:03:08.300 that's right.

00:03:09.180 If there's no evidence,

00:03:10.980 it's Russia.

00:03:12.160 I think we've learned that.

00:03:14.200 We learned it

00:03:15.000 with Biden's laptops.

00:03:16.940 Because when they looked

00:03:17.760 for evidence

00:03:18.420 of who was behind it,

00:03:20.340 there was none.

00:03:22.080 What's that tell you?

00:03:23.660 That's right.

00:03:24.480 Putin.

00:03:25.580 So if you find a crime

00:03:27.360 with no evidence

00:03:28.540 of who was behind it,

00:03:29.760 that's always Putin.

00:03:31.660 Because who else

00:03:32.720 is so clever

00:03:33.620 that they could have

00:03:35.280 a sonic weapon

00:03:36.240 being employed

00:03:37.400 all over the globe,

00:03:39.080 one person after another?

00:03:41.040 No evidence.

00:03:42.180 Only Putin could do that.

00:03:45.480 Nobody else.

00:03:47.080 So that's your news

00:03:48.380 of the day.

00:03:49.900 We also have news

00:03:51.180 that Ghislaine Maxwell's,

00:03:53.600 let's pause for a moment

00:03:55.040 to enjoy all the different ways

00:03:58.000 we can pronounce

00:03:59.500 Ghislaine Maxwell's first name.

00:04:02.620 Ghislaine,

00:04:03.660 Ghislaine,

00:04:05.000 Ghislaine,

00:04:05.840 Ghislaine,

00:04:07.580 Ghislaine,

00:04:08.300 any of those are fine.

00:04:10.960 I'm going to go with Ghislaine

00:04:12.180 because Ghislaine

00:04:13.860 is a little too

00:04:15.180 on the nose,

00:04:15.860 isn't it?

00:04:17.160 A little too on the nose.

00:04:19.200 All right.

00:04:20.300 Apparently,

00:04:20.940 her extremely personal,

00:04:22.640 as it's being called,

00:04:24.020 418-page deposition

00:04:26.480 is made public

00:04:27.260 revealing secrets

00:04:28.720 about Jeffrey Epstein's

00:04:30.220 alleged

00:04:30.980 madame's

00:04:32.080 sex life.

00:04:32.900 That's right.

00:04:34.660 She has a deposition

00:04:35.820 of 418 pages

00:04:38.040 about her sex life.

00:04:41.160 Does that make you feel bad?

00:04:43.340 You should.

00:04:44.820 Because I feel as if

00:04:46.160 I were deposed

00:04:47.220 by law enforcement

00:04:49.620 on my personal sex life.

00:04:52.500 I don't know

00:04:54.120 if I would have

00:04:54.820 418 pages.

00:04:57.460 I feel like,

00:04:59.200 depending on how

00:05:00.320 succinctly

00:05:01.600 I were to write

00:05:02.340 my stories,

00:05:03.800 I think my stories

00:05:05.120 are about

00:05:06.180 two and a half pages

00:05:08.140 maximum.

00:05:10.020 I don't know about you.

00:05:10.960 How many pages

00:05:11.640 could you get

00:05:12.360 about your personal

00:05:13.920 sex life?

00:05:14.960 I'm thinking

00:05:15.380 two and a half pages.

00:05:17.040 But Ghislaine

00:05:17.620 or Ghislaine

00:05:18.680 has 418 pages

00:05:22.280 and I think

00:05:22.900 we can all be

00:05:23.840 impressed by that.

00:05:26.320 Because

00:05:26.920 that's some

00:05:28.840 serious activity there.

00:05:30.520 Alright.

00:05:31.780 And here's the question

00:05:32.940 I ask.

00:05:34.300 I understand

00:05:35.340 that she's being

00:05:36.140 accused of

00:05:36.860 horrible crimes.

00:05:38.480 As far as I know,

00:05:40.240 she has not been

00:05:41.000 convicted

00:05:41.540 of any horrible crimes.

00:05:43.220 Am I right?

00:05:44.540 She has not been

00:05:45.380 convicted

00:05:45.920 of any crimes.

00:05:47.820 But is she not

00:05:48.600 being punished already?

00:05:50.500 Don't we usually

00:05:51.320 punish people

00:05:52.260 after they're

00:05:53.680 convicted?

00:05:54.820 Because if you

00:05:55.740 were to release

00:05:56.780 418 pages

00:05:59.140 of my personal

00:06:00.440 sexual

00:06:00.960 life,

00:06:02.620 well,

00:06:02.840 first of all,

00:06:03.340 I'd be pretty proud

00:06:04.140 about that,

00:06:04.700 I think.

00:06:05.460 Because,

00:06:05.820 you know,

00:06:06.040 418 pages.

00:06:08.260 Pretty impressive.

00:06:10.820 But,

00:06:11.860 how is that right?

00:06:14.680 You know,

00:06:15.120 don't get lost

00:06:16.180 in the fact that

00:06:17.280 Epstein was a monster,

00:06:18.880 Ghislaine was a monster.

00:06:20.640 We all agree on that.

00:06:22.160 We stipulate

00:06:22.960 she's probably

00:06:24.360 a monster.

00:06:25.500 You know,

00:06:25.980 all indications.

00:06:28.260 But is it

00:06:28.940 our system

00:06:29.800 that we punish them

00:06:30.900 before they're guilty?

00:06:32.220 I mean,

00:06:32.560 found guilty

00:06:33.200 in a court of law?

00:06:34.680 In what way

00:06:36.280 is this okay?

00:06:37.960 How is it okay

00:06:38.820 to release

00:06:39.440 this private information

00:06:40.500 before she's found guilty?

00:06:41.680 Like,

00:06:42.720 I get that

00:06:43.560 maybe there's

00:06:44.120 some legal

00:06:45.340 technicality

00:06:47.380 or a public interest,

00:06:49.040 but really?

00:06:50.300 Really?

00:06:51.100 I feel like

00:06:52.060 there's something

00:06:52.640 terribly wrong

00:06:53.480 with this,

00:06:54.200 even if it turns out

00:06:55.520 to be legal.

00:06:57.600 And again,

00:06:58.420 I'm not defending

00:06:59.260 Ghislaine,

00:07:01.000 but I wouldn't

00:07:03.900 want that standard

00:07:04.820 applied to anybody

00:07:05.660 else,

00:07:06.240 would you?

00:07:06.640 All right.

00:07:10.960 Trump has been

00:07:12.100 ramping up

00:07:13.500 his campaign.

00:07:15.160 He's going to do

00:07:15.760 more events

00:07:18.040 toward the end

00:07:18.840 of the election cycle

00:07:20.060 than ever before.

00:07:21.720 So he's more energy,

00:07:22.860 more activity.

00:07:24.280 At the same time

00:07:25.160 that Joe Biden

00:07:27.020 is basically hiding.

00:07:28.900 He put the lid on.

00:07:30.920 And so I tweeted,

00:07:32.160 figuratively speaking,

00:07:34.280 figuratively speaking,

00:07:35.540 and this won't

00:07:36.880 be funny to all

00:07:37.720 of you.

00:07:38.180 You have to have

00:07:38.780 a certain background.

00:07:41.700 But it seems

00:07:42.540 that Trump

00:07:43.040 is smoking

00:07:43.620 Biden's lid.

00:07:45.200 Yeah.

00:07:46.020 At the same time

00:07:47.060 that he's simultaneously

00:07:48.100 eating Biden's lunch.

00:07:50.360 That's right.

00:07:51.040 He's smoking his lid

00:07:52.080 while eating his lunch.

00:07:54.240 I'm just proud

00:07:55.260 of that pun

00:07:55.820 and I thought

00:07:56.380 I'd share it with you.

00:07:57.500 You don't need

00:07:58.340 to remember it.

00:07:59.860 All right.

00:08:00.120 So we got

00:08:00.440 the debate tonight.

00:08:01.780 Big debate.

00:08:02.760 Everybody going

00:08:03.360 to watch the debate?

00:08:04.100 I'll tell you,

00:08:06.060 Trump has made

00:08:07.040 politics

00:08:08.160 entertaining

00:08:09.940 in a way

00:08:10.760 that we're really,

00:08:12.220 really going to miss

00:08:13.200 whenever he leaves office.

00:08:15.940 And I hope that,

00:08:17.440 you know,

00:08:17.840 whatever day that is

00:08:19.020 that Trump leaves office,

00:08:21.240 I hope he doesn't

00:08:22.240 leave the public stage.

00:08:23.940 Because we still need

00:08:25.360 a certain amount

00:08:26.520 of Trumpiness

00:08:27.260 just to

00:08:29.920 be interested.

00:08:31.220 I don't know

00:08:32.660 that I could get

00:08:33.340 so interested

00:08:33.940 in court packing

00:08:35.260 and any of this

00:08:36.820 other stuff

00:08:37.420 if Trump wasn't

00:08:38.300 part of the story.

00:08:39.560 So the debate

00:08:40.300 will be tonight.

00:08:41.060 The ratings

00:08:41.700 will be huge.

00:08:42.940 Huge, I say.

00:08:44.340 And of course,

00:08:44.900 the big debate

00:08:45.580 is that the Trump

00:08:47.260 campaign wants

00:08:48.380 the questions

00:08:49.580 to include

00:08:50.400 foreign policy.

00:08:52.100 And apparently

00:08:52.840 that's not going

00:08:53.660 to happen.

00:08:54.360 There's some

00:08:54.760 disagreement about

00:08:55.640 whether that was

00:08:56.340 ever part of

00:08:57.400 the plan or not.

00:08:58.460 But can somebody

00:09:01.260 do a fact check

00:09:02.160 on me?

00:09:03.380 Would that mean

00:09:04.060 that none of the

00:09:04.860 debates or,

00:09:07.040 yeah, that would mean

00:09:07.620 that none of the

00:09:08.240 debates involved

00:09:09.080 foreign policy,

00:09:10.980 right?

00:09:11.540 I don't know what

00:09:12.320 you call the town halls.

00:09:14.020 But we would have

00:09:14.860 no debate

00:09:15.740 on foreign policy?

00:09:18.480 Correct me

00:09:19.200 if I'm wrong,

00:09:20.440 but something like

00:09:21.480 50% of a president's

00:09:23.240 job is foreign policy,

00:09:24.600 right?

00:09:25.000 You know,

00:09:25.200 it depends how you

00:09:25.980 count it,

00:09:28.060 but at least half

00:09:29.160 of the job,

00:09:30.140 conceptually,

00:09:31.280 is foreign policy.

00:09:33.480 How do you not

00:09:34.260 have a debate

00:09:34.920 on that?

00:09:36.220 How is that not

00:09:37.180 even part of the

00:09:37.980 mix?

00:09:38.880 Well, I have the

00:09:39.520 answer for you.

00:09:40.900 Do you know why

00:09:41.460 it's not part of

00:09:42.540 the debate?

00:09:43.420 Because what you're

00:09:44.280 thinking is,

00:09:44.860 no, no, no,

00:09:45.400 that would be,

00:09:46.520 it would expose

00:09:47.320 Biden to the

00:09:48.120 questions about

00:09:48.920 Hunter's laptop.

00:09:49.960 That's why.

00:09:50.940 You know,

00:09:51.200 the fix is in.

00:09:52.580 Well, that might

00:09:53.320 be part of it.

00:09:54.380 I would certainly

00:09:55.060 think that that's

00:09:55.800 part of the

00:09:56.300 part of the

00:09:57.000 decision.

00:09:58.640 We do live in a

00:09:59.660 world where

00:10:00.200 bias is so 0.99

00:10:01.560 baked into

00:10:02.120 every part of

00:10:02.840 everything that

00:10:03.520 you have to

00:10:04.220 think that's

00:10:04.660 part of the

00:10:05.080 decision.

00:10:06.240 But here's

00:10:06.800 the more

00:10:08.040 impressive part

00:10:10.020 that you can

00:10:11.020 kind of miss

00:10:11.640 because you're

00:10:12.200 focusing on

00:10:12.820 the laptop

00:10:13.320 story,

00:10:14.080 and it goes

00:10:14.760 like this.

00:10:16.720 How would you

00:10:17.300 like to be

00:10:17.880 running against

00:10:18.780 an incumbent

00:10:19.840 president who

00:10:21.600 had done so

00:10:22.420 well in foreign

00:10:23.460 affairs that

00:10:25.000 it doesn't

00:10:25.680 need to be

00:10:26.360 part of the

00:10:26.840 debate?

00:10:28.560 Think about

00:10:29.280 that.

00:10:30.760 Talk about

00:10:31.600 unfrickin' 0.85

00:10:32.840 precedented.

00:10:34.860 Trump did

00:10:35.560 so well,

00:10:36.720 and this is

00:10:37.160 not, I don't

00:10:37.700 think this is

00:10:38.240 an exaggeration,

00:10:39.240 is it?

00:10:40.520 You know,

00:10:40.800 listen to it,

00:10:41.380 let it settle

00:10:42.280 in, and then

00:10:42.900 you tell me if

00:10:43.520 I'm exaggerating.

00:10:44.620 I don't think I

00:10:45.320 am.

00:10:46.300 Trump did so

00:10:47.380 well in foreign

00:10:48.540 affairs that it

00:10:50.580 doesn't need to

00:10:51.860 be part of the

00:10:52.560 conversation?

00:10:54.640 I think that's

00:10:55.680 what's happening

00:10:56.280 right in front

00:10:57.580 of us.

00:10:58.440 This is like the

00:10:59.140 most incredible

00:11:00.920 endorsement of a

00:11:02.380 sitting president

00:11:03.180 I've ever seen.

00:11:05.820 You don't need to

00:11:07.240 talk about it.

00:11:08.740 He took ISIS 0.84

00:11:10.540 from, honestly,

00:11:12.780 it was one of the

00:11:13.300 biggest things I

00:11:13.960 worried about,

00:11:15.340 to nothing.

00:11:16.840 He took the

00:11:17.880 threat of China, 0.78

00:11:19.220 which is still a

00:11:20.500 big thing, and

00:11:21.540 now I feel like

00:11:22.420 it's at least

00:11:23.480 competently being

00:11:24.740 handled in the

00:11:26.180 right way.

00:11:26.940 You know, you

00:11:27.320 don't know how

00:11:27.800 things are going

00:11:28.320 to turn out,

00:11:29.440 but it looks like

00:11:30.380 it's being

00:11:30.800 competently handled

00:11:31.920 in the right way

00:11:32.780 for the first

00:11:33.700 time.

00:11:34.980 Look at the

00:11:35.660 Middle East.

00:11:37.360 I mean, it's

00:11:37.820 crazy.

00:11:38.540 The Middle East

00:11:39.080 has never looked

00:11:39.960 this good.

00:11:40.720 It's just crazy.

00:11:42.520 Look at our

00:11:43.420 trade deals that

00:11:44.980 have been

00:11:45.380 completed.

00:11:46.460 You know, the

00:11:46.860 NAFTA replacement

00:11:47.840 deal.

00:11:49.100 Even the critics

00:11:49.980 say, okay, I

00:11:51.440 got to admit

00:11:51.920 that's better,

00:11:52.620 better than

00:11:53.100 NAFTA.

00:11:54.040 Look at the

00:11:55.100 South Korea

00:11:55.700 deal, the

00:11:56.380 Japan trade

00:11:57.100 deal.

00:11:58.660 I feel like

00:11:59.920 Trump ran

00:12:02.080 the table on

00:12:03.000 foreign affairs.

00:12:04.100 There's just

00:12:04.760 nothing left to

00:12:05.580 talk about.

00:12:06.620 The only thing

00:12:07.340 left to talk

00:12:07.920 about is why

00:12:09.420 Biden is so

00:12:10.820 bad at it,

00:12:11.600 and why he's

00:12:12.800 bad at it at

00:12:13.740 the moment,

00:12:14.460 because of the

00:12:15.140 laptop story

00:12:16.480 we'll talk

00:12:16.920 about in a

00:12:17.320 minute.

00:12:18.220 So I think

00:12:19.700 they should just

00:12:20.280 cancel the

00:12:20.880 debate.

00:12:22.080 I think if

00:12:23.100 your debate

00:12:23.780 doesn't want

00:12:25.240 to cover half

00:12:26.380 of the

00:12:26.760 president's job

00:12:27.620 because he

00:12:28.080 did such a

00:12:28.640 good job,

00:12:29.080 there's nothing

00:12:29.460 to talk about,

00:12:31.520 maybe you

00:12:32.160 don't need a

00:12:32.600 debate.

00:12:33.580 But I guess

00:12:34.340 they'll have

00:12:34.660 it.

00:12:35.060 All right.

00:12:35.320 all the

00:12:39.220 people who

00:12:40.240 have believed

00:12:40.980 that the

00:12:41.500 news for

00:12:42.300 the last

00:12:42.680 four years

00:12:43.400 was real

00:12:44.340 are going

00:12:46.000 to have a

00:12:46.500 real surprise

00:12:47.660 if Trump

00:12:50.040 wins, and

00:12:51.200 I'm going to

00:12:51.620 tell you that

00:12:52.260 it's looking

00:12:52.700 like that

00:12:53.280 pretty strongly

00:12:54.120 at the

00:12:54.540 moment.

00:12:55.600 What is

00:12:56.300 going to

00:12:56.580 happen to

00:12:57.020 all these

00:12:57.400 people who

00:12:57.980 were already

00:12:58.720 in Trump

00:13:00.300 derangement

00:13:00.960 syndrome, and

00:13:02.300 then they

00:13:02.660 experienced four

00:13:03.660 years in

00:13:04.320 which their

00:13:05.260 impression of

00:13:06.020 what was

00:13:06.400 happening for

00:13:07.480 those four

00:13:08.060 years, very

00:13:08.960 separate from

00:13:09.600 maybe what

00:13:10.060 your impression

00:13:10.620 was, but

00:13:11.560 their impression

00:13:12.160 was that

00:13:13.280 they watched

00:13:14.200 a disaster

00:13:15.180 unfold, and

00:13:16.760 it's a

00:13:17.140 disaster of

00:13:18.000 unprecedented

00:13:18.980 historical

00:13:20.520 size, that

00:13:22.220 what Trump

00:13:22.840 did to the

00:13:23.420 country, according

00:13:24.060 to their

00:13:24.520 little bubble

00:13:25.440 view, was

00:13:27.180 so obviously

00:13:28.380 destructive in

00:13:30.460 a gigantic,

00:13:32.560 clear way,

00:13:33.660 that there's

00:13:34.740 certainly no

00:13:35.660 way that he

00:13:36.200 could win

00:13:36.580 re-election,

00:13:37.940 and duh, and 0.99

00:13:39.120 by the way, the

00:13:39.860 New York Times

00:13:40.520 poll has him

00:13:41.240 down by nine

00:13:42.260 nationally, nobody

00:13:43.960 wins if they're

00:13:44.800 down by nine a

00:13:45.980 few weeks before

00:13:46.740 the election, so

00:13:48.520 not only is it

00:13:49.600 obvious, he's

00:13:50.420 according to

00:13:51.260 their little

00:13:51.680 bubble reality,

00:13:53.080 that it's the

00:13:53.680 worst disaster of

00:13:54.840 a presidency ever

00:13:56.380 in the history

00:13:57.200 of the world, and

00:13:59.160 he's way behind

00:14:00.140 in the polls.

00:14:00.860 what happens if

00:14:03.440 he wins?

00:14:05.500 Because it

00:14:07.680 looks like he's

00:14:08.280 going to win.

00:14:09.900 In fact, it

00:14:11.340 really looks like

00:14:12.080 that.

00:14:13.480 In fact, I'd be

00:14:14.760 pretty surprised if

00:14:15.780 he didn't, honestly.

00:14:17.540 I mean, I would be

00:14:18.300 genuinely surprised

00:14:19.620 as of today.

00:14:21.120 Now, of course,

00:14:21.560 anything could

00:14:22.060 change in the

00:14:22.640 next couple

00:14:23.320 weeks, right?

00:14:23.800 But as of

00:14:24.880 today, I'd be

00:14:26.440 amazed if he

00:14:27.260 lost, because

00:14:28.880 in my world, the

00:14:30.420 news has been

00:14:31.060 fake for a full

00:14:32.240 four years, so

00:14:33.960 I don't take any

00:14:34.680 of it seriously.

00:14:36.380 And in my

00:14:37.920 world, the

00:14:39.120 polls are

00:14:39.920 obviously fake.

00:14:41.280 Now, not every

00:14:42.180 poll, because

00:14:43.280 the Trafalgar guys

00:14:44.980 were close in

00:14:45.960 2016.

00:14:47.220 Probably they're

00:14:48.080 close again.

00:14:49.240 Rasmussen was

00:14:50.360 close in 2016,

00:14:51.580 and they have

00:14:53.640 a much more

00:14:54.760 narrow margin

00:14:55.520 for the

00:14:56.160 difference.

00:14:57.180 Probably enough

00:14:58.200 that the so-called

00:14:59.320 hidden Trump

00:15:00.900 voters will make

00:15:01.740 the difference,

00:15:02.540 I think.

00:15:03.880 And so my

00:15:06.060 world is

00:15:06.680 complete.

00:15:08.080 Everything that

00:15:08.780 has happened

00:15:10.280 in my

00:15:11.540 perceptions, in

00:15:12.420 my bubble,

00:15:13.340 made perfect

00:15:14.260 sense the

00:15:15.900 whole way.

00:15:17.040 I saw Trump

00:15:17.840 getting elected,

00:15:18.920 because that

00:15:19.340 made sense in

00:15:20.120 my filter of

00:15:21.140 the world.

00:15:21.580 I saw him

00:15:22.700 doing such a

00:15:23.740 good job that

00:15:25.240 you don't even

00:15:26.280 need to talk

00:15:26.880 about foreign

00:15:27.540 policy during a

00:15:29.180 debate.

00:15:30.160 I mean, that's

00:15:30.680 just crazy.

00:15:31.720 Three nominations

00:15:32.720 for Nobel Peace

00:15:34.280 Prize.

00:15:35.420 You can't do much

00:15:36.700 better than that,

00:15:37.880 and, you know,

00:15:38.360 before the

00:15:38.840 coronavirus record

00:15:40.280 unemployment.

00:15:41.540 So those are all

00:15:42.500 the things that I

00:15:43.200 saw.

00:15:44.120 Now, I didn't see

00:15:44.940 coronavirus coming,

00:15:46.440 but I think I

00:15:47.520 could be forgiven

00:15:48.180 for that.

00:15:49.180 Most people

00:15:49.740 didn't.

00:15:50.060 And, you

00:15:52.160 know, I don't

00:15:52.480 think he

00:15:52.920 necessarily hit a

00:15:53.920 home run on

00:15:54.520 coronavirus.

00:15:55.380 We'll talk about

00:15:55.860 that in a minute.

00:15:56.880 But everything

00:15:57.780 that I've seen

00:15:58.400 at least makes

00:15:59.120 sense.

00:16:00.480 You know, I

00:16:00.860 can like some

00:16:01.560 things, I can

00:16:02.200 dislike some

00:16:02.860 things, but

00:16:03.760 there's nothing

00:16:04.320 in any of my

00:16:05.500 experience from

00:16:06.520 2015, probably

00:16:08.840 through Election

00:16:09.620 Day, that will

00:16:10.720 be inconsistent

00:16:11.440 with observation

00:16:12.780 and my filter

00:16:13.840 on the world.

00:16:14.680 So I don't

00:16:15.300 really have any

00:16:16.060 way to go

00:16:16.500 crazy.

00:16:16.900 In fact, even

00:16:18.000 if Trump

00:16:18.440 didn't win, I'd

00:16:19.740 say, oh, I

00:16:20.320 guess the polls

00:16:21.280 were a little

00:16:21.680 closer than I

00:16:22.360 thought.

00:16:23.400 That's it.

00:16:24.500 My entire

00:16:25.320 worldview could

00:16:26.900 become consistent

00:16:28.440 just by saying,

00:16:29.420 oh, you know, I

00:16:30.380 thought there were

00:16:30.780 more Trump

00:16:31.820 supporters hidden

00:16:33.000 than there were.

00:16:34.120 That's it.

00:16:35.100 And I can

00:16:35.540 instantly be

00:16:36.380 compatible with

00:16:37.180 everything I've

00:16:37.880 observed.

00:16:38.800 But imagine

00:16:39.680 being a TDS

00:16:40.860 Democrat who

00:16:42.400 honestly believes

00:16:43.600 that Trump was

00:16:45.040 like Satan

00:16:46.120 himself and

00:16:47.040 everybody knows

00:16:47.900 it and there's

00:16:48.960 no way he can

00:16:49.640 get elected

00:16:50.140 again.

00:16:51.340 What if he

00:16:51.860 does?

00:16:53.420 That is serious

00:16:54.680 mental health

00:16:55.360 problem right

00:16:55.960 there, not to

00:16:57.140 mention civil

00:16:58.160 unrest, which we

00:16:59.080 should expect.

00:17:01.680 All right.

00:17:04.060 At this point, I

00:17:05.320 have a question

00:17:05.820 for you.

00:17:06.360 This is a

00:17:06.840 challenge question

00:17:07.640 on coronavirus.

00:17:09.720 Would you say

00:17:10.860 that this is

00:17:11.580 true, that we

00:17:12.420 still don't know

00:17:13.160 why some

00:17:13.640 countries are

00:17:14.340 relatively more

00:17:15.240 successful than

00:17:16.160 others?

00:17:16.960 Can we say that

00:17:17.980 with certainty

00:17:18.440 yet?

00:17:19.840 Do you feel

00:17:20.540 that that's just

00:17:21.140 a safe statement

00:17:22.020 that experts

00:17:23.120 would generally

00:17:23.840 agree with?

00:17:25.180 Fact check me

00:17:25.960 on this, because

00:17:26.440 I feel like it's

00:17:27.180 safe.

00:17:28.640 You know, it's

00:17:29.140 not one of

00:17:30.220 these 100%

00:17:30.980 certainty, every

00:17:32.020 person's on the

00:17:32.660 same side.

00:17:33.780 But as a

00:17:34.480 general statement,

00:17:35.640 tell me if the

00:17:36.820 following is true.

00:17:38.140 Even the experts

00:17:39.220 don't know why

00:17:40.880 some countries are

00:17:41.820 doing better than

00:17:42.460 others on

00:17:42.960 coronavirus.

00:17:44.340 Is that true?

00:17:45.380 Because even if

00:17:46.560 we say masks

00:17:47.660 work, and the

00:17:49.740 majority of

00:17:50.520 experts do say

00:17:51.440 that, how

00:17:52.780 much do they

00:17:53.460 work?

00:17:54.940 Do they work

00:17:55.980 2%?

00:17:57.940 Do they work

00:17:58.940 5%?

00:18:00.160 Because if masks

00:18:01.400 made, let's say,

00:18:02.280 a 50% difference,

00:18:04.720 we'd know that,

00:18:06.360 right?

00:18:07.060 Wouldn't you

00:18:07.700 agree that if

00:18:09.140 the difference

00:18:09.740 between wearing

00:18:10.500 masks and not

00:18:11.580 wearing masks was

00:18:12.940 50%, hypothetically?

00:18:15.540 If it were, we'd

00:18:17.280 all know that.

00:18:18.260 There wouldn't be

00:18:18.700 any conversation

00:18:19.580 about it, because

00:18:20.820 you would just

00:18:21.460 see it.

00:18:22.220 You wouldn't need

00:18:22.800 to do a study at

00:18:23.620 all.

00:18:24.500 You put your

00:18:25.080 masks on, curve

00:18:26.600 goes down every

00:18:27.300 time.

00:18:28.100 Every country that

00:18:28.960 does it, as soon

00:18:30.200 as they put their

00:18:30.760 masks on, 50%

00:18:32.540 dip.

00:18:33.860 We'd see that,

00:18:35.640 right?

00:18:36.620 Now, the scientists

00:18:37.540 do say we are

00:18:38.740 seeing an improvement

00:18:39.540 with masks, so

00:18:40.900 they say if you

00:18:41.560 really dig into

00:18:42.220 the numbers, you

00:18:42.880 do see it, but it

00:18:44.420 feels like it's

00:18:45.240 closer to 2%

00:18:46.680 than 50%.

00:18:48.960 Now, I don't

00:18:49.740 know how close

00:18:50.800 to 2%, maybe

00:18:51.820 it's 25%, I

00:18:53.020 don't know, but

00:18:54.080 it's not 50%.

00:18:55.480 It's somewhere

00:18:56.400 closer to 2%

00:18:57.420 than 50%.

00:18:58.480 How about the

00:19:00.560 lockdowns, the

00:19:02.020 difference in the

00:19:02.640 lockdowns?

00:19:03.620 Now, the experts

00:19:04.560 are pretty united

00:19:07.000 in saying that the

00:19:08.260 lockdowns make a

00:19:09.120 difference, that's

00:19:10.140 why they do

00:19:10.620 them, and they're

00:19:11.320 doing them all

00:19:12.200 over the world in

00:19:13.020 different places

00:19:13.680 under different

00:19:14.860 circumstances, but

00:19:16.380 generally, the

00:19:17.020 experts say lockdowns

00:19:18.320 matter.

00:19:19.540 But do they

00:19:20.240 matter 50%?

00:19:23.220 Or do they

00:19:24.060 matter 2%?

00:19:26.900 Do you know?

00:19:28.120 I don't know.

00:19:29.720 I have no idea.

00:19:30.920 And nor have I

00:19:31.580 seen any kind of

00:19:32.340 study that would

00:19:33.040 suggest the experts

00:19:34.800 know.

00:19:35.680 Now, common sense

00:19:36.660 tells you it's got

00:19:38.100 to work a little

00:19:38.800 bit, right?

00:19:40.160 The less contact

00:19:41.140 you have with

00:19:41.660 people, how could

00:19:43.100 that not work?

00:19:44.000 So your common

00:19:44.540 sense says it

00:19:45.540 works.

00:19:46.700 But how much?

00:19:49.160 2%?

00:19:50.320 10%?

00:19:51.220 We don't know.

00:19:52.560 You know, my

00:19:52.900 guess is a lot, but

00:19:54.620 I don't know.

00:19:55.720 How about leadership

00:19:56.860 differences?

00:19:58.460 How would you

00:19:59.280 measure that?

00:20:00.980 Because suppose you

00:20:02.040 said, okay, we

00:20:03.020 don't have enough

00:20:03.660 leadership of this

00:20:05.540 leader, some

00:20:06.200 specific leader, is

00:20:07.760 not going hard

00:20:08.700 enough on masks.

00:20:10.420 Well, suppose you

00:20:12.700 were to agree that

00:20:15.180 Trump's treatment of

00:20:17.680 masks has been

00:20:19.200 insufficiently supportive

00:20:21.600 of masks.

00:20:22.360 He does support

00:20:23.020 masks, but he's not

00:20:24.320 gung-ho on it.

00:20:25.460 He's not really

00:20:26.000 pushing it.

00:20:27.140 And that gives

00:20:27.720 people permission to

00:20:28.920 be a little ambiguous

00:20:29.960 about it themselves.

00:20:31.220 I would say that's

00:20:32.120 true.

00:20:32.360 Leadership makes

00:20:33.300 some difference.

00:20:34.760 But suppose the

00:20:36.040 masks, or not

00:20:37.200 masks, were only

00:20:38.420 2% of the

00:20:39.480 difference, and

00:20:40.680 you only got that

00:20:41.580 2% if mostly

00:20:43.820 everybody complied.

00:20:45.660 But what happens

00:20:46.680 if 20% of the

00:20:49.220 public doesn't

00:20:50.100 comply?

00:20:51.300 Well, then you

00:20:52.240 don't get your

00:20:52.780 full 2%.

00:20:53.960 That's reduced by,

00:20:55.860 let's say, 20%.

00:20:57.220 But it's 20% of

00:20:59.400 2%.

00:21:00.120 Could you tell?

00:21:01.500 Given all the

00:21:02.720 other variables that

00:21:03.720 are involved, you

00:21:05.020 could maybe say,

00:21:06.100 yes, we should have

00:21:06.900 done more on masks,

00:21:08.120 or done them sooner,

00:21:09.060 or done them

00:21:09.540 differently.

00:21:10.520 But it's still going

00:21:11.520 to look like, and

00:21:12.660 again, I'm asking

00:21:13.800 for a fact check.

00:21:15.080 Don't take this as a

00:21:16.340 statement of fact.

00:21:17.220 I'm no expert on

00:21:18.260 masks.

00:21:19.480 But the feeling I

00:21:20.940 have, based on my

00:21:22.620 survey of the

00:21:23.740 available information,

00:21:25.720 as unreliable as it

00:21:27.000 is, is that whatever

00:21:29.180 Trump did, mask

00:21:31.700 wise, it probably

00:21:33.420 was a 20%

00:21:34.500 difference on a

00:21:36.360 2% variable.

00:21:39.360 And to get that

00:21:40.740 difference, what he

00:21:42.300 traded off was we

00:21:43.340 had a little more

00:21:43.940 freedom, perhaps.

00:21:45.580 People felt a little

00:21:46.520 more free on masks.

00:21:48.460 Was that worth 20%

00:21:50.160 of 2%?

00:21:51.640 Well, it depends.

00:21:52.820 If it's somebody in

00:21:53.600 your family who died,

00:21:54.940 you would think

00:21:55.520 not.

00:21:55.860 But conceptually,

00:21:57.640 people might think

00:21:58.460 yes.

00:21:59.480 So if you added

00:22:00.640 together all the

00:22:01.760 effects of the masks

00:22:02.860 or no masks,

00:22:03.780 lockdowns and how

00:22:04.780 they're done, and

00:22:05.960 the leadership

00:22:06.500 differences, I think

00:22:08.040 if you put them all

00:22:09.080 together, it wouldn't

00:22:11.040 really come close to

00:22:12.300 explaining the

00:22:13.040 different countries'

00:22:14.600 behaviors.

00:22:15.340 And I would say at

00:22:15.980 this point, genetics

00:22:17.500 has to be seen as

00:22:18.800 one of the big

00:22:20.200 variables that we

00:22:22.040 need to discover.

00:22:23.420 Now, somebody on

00:22:24.160 Twitter, who I'm not

00:22:26.140 aware of their

00:22:26.660 credentials, but

00:22:27.560 somebody who looked

00:22:28.160 like they knew what

00:22:28.720 they were talking

00:22:29.160 about, and I'll ask

00:22:30.520 you to fact check

00:22:31.260 this too, says that

00:22:33.120 Swedes and Germans

00:22:34.560 have a genetic

00:22:36.280 similarity that is

00:22:38.640 known to be good

00:22:39.900 for avoiding

00:22:41.540 disease.

00:22:44.320 Is that real?

00:22:46.340 So can somebody do

00:22:47.260 me a fact check on

00:22:48.240 this?

00:22:48.480 There's some

00:22:48.860 specific genetic

00:22:50.060 thing which is

00:22:51.440 known.

00:22:51.800 We have a name

00:22:53.460 for that little

00:22:54.220 gene, whatever it

00:22:55.120 is.

00:22:55.940 It's got a series of

00:22:57.040 letters and numbers

00:22:57.760 or something.

00:22:58.780 And that that gene

00:22:59.600 is known to be in

00:23:00.640 Swedes and Germans

00:23:01.780 and gives them better

00:23:03.120 results on things

00:23:04.260 such as viruses.

00:23:07.140 True or false?

00:23:08.560 Give me a fact check

00:23:09.680 on that.

00:23:10.440 Because if it turns

00:23:11.120 out that's true, I

00:23:13.520 feel like we're done

00:23:14.360 here in terms of

00:23:16.140 understanding it.

00:23:17.740 Now, vitamin D, I

00:23:18.940 think, I've been

00:23:19.800 saying for a while, I

00:23:20.600 think it's a bigger

00:23:21.160 variable than

00:23:21.860 anybody's admitting

00:23:23.720 and we know some

00:23:25.500 countries supplement

00:23:26.540 such as Sweden.

00:23:28.540 So we'll find out

00:23:29.460 about that.

00:23:29.920 But anyway, I'm

00:23:30.880 going to die on

00:23:33.400 this hill because

00:23:34.660 I'm the Dilbert

00:23:35.860 author.

00:23:37.100 And my entire

00:23:37.860 life of cartooning

00:23:40.340 way prior to

00:23:41.460 coronavirus, I've

00:23:42.980 been saying

00:23:43.400 consistently and

00:23:44.540 for 30 years that

00:23:46.660 leaders get credit

00:23:48.340 for things that are

00:23:49.200 just luck and

00:23:50.440 they get blamed for

00:23:51.380 things which are

00:23:52.100 just bad luck.

00:23:53.880 And the leader

00:23:54.700 usually has a lot

00:23:55.800 less to do with

00:23:56.760 the success than

00:23:58.280 we give them

00:23:58.820 credit for.

00:23:59.760 They tend to be

00:24:00.740 just in the right

00:24:01.360 place at the right

00:24:01.980 time.

00:24:02.700 Now, there are

00:24:03.300 differences, of

00:24:04.020 course.

00:24:04.320 You're Steve Jobs,

00:24:05.840 you're Bill Gates.

00:24:07.400 Yeah, they made a

00:24:08.240 difference.

00:24:09.140 But your regular

00:24:09.860 CEO who just got

00:24:12.220 hired, didn't invent

00:24:14.140 anything, didn't

00:24:15.200 innovate, just sort of

00:24:17.600 worked up through the

00:24:18.960 ranks.

00:24:19.840 I don't know if that

00:24:20.680 CEO makes that much

00:24:21.760 difference.

00:24:23.520 So that's the

00:24:24.200 Dilbert view of it.

00:24:25.780 I've set the

00:24:26.660 slaughter meter at

00:24:27.560 100%, meaning that

00:24:29.240 as of today, if

00:24:30.260 nothing changed,

00:24:31.640 President Trump has

00:24:32.500 100% chance of

00:24:33.800 re-election.

00:24:34.780 But of course, we

00:24:36.380 got over a week.

00:24:37.940 A lot could change.

00:24:39.540 So it doesn't mean

00:24:40.280 it's not a prediction

00:24:42.200 the slaughter meter

00:24:42.980 isn't.

00:24:43.300 It's a Snapchat

00:24:44.940 in time.

00:24:46.520 Snapchat.

00:24:47.280 A snapshot in

00:24:48.960 time.

00:24:52.360 And I kind of

00:24:54.520 feel it now.

00:24:55.500 Do you?

00:24:56.700 Do you feel as

00:24:58.120 though the

00:24:59.020 zeitgeist or the

00:25:00.500 mood of the

00:25:01.200 country, the

00:25:02.400 vibe, the

00:25:03.240 feel, just your

00:25:04.500 gut instinct, does

00:25:06.460 it feel like it

00:25:07.240 changed recently

00:25:08.860 in the last few

00:25:10.300 days?

00:25:10.660 It feels like

00:25:12.340 two weeks ago

00:25:14.020 was a lifetime

00:25:14.740 ago.

00:25:15.780 And it feels like

00:25:16.900 we're feeling

00:25:17.620 something that

00:25:18.460 looks like people

00:25:21.040 know Trump is

00:25:21.980 going to get

00:25:22.340 re-elected.

00:25:23.620 Does it feel

00:25:24.480 like that?

00:25:25.540 Now, I don't

00:25:26.000 know if the

00:25:26.420 Democrats in

00:25:27.100 their bubble are

00:25:27.700 feeling that.

00:25:28.320 They may still

00:25:28.880 not be feeling

00:25:29.540 it.

00:25:30.040 But I feel as

00:25:30.800 though that

00:25:31.140 message has

00:25:31.740 even penetrated

00:25:32.580 the Democrats

00:25:33.320 bubble.

00:25:34.360 And on some

00:25:35.000 level, they're

00:25:37.220 kind of scared

00:25:38.720 to death. 0.75

00:25:39.280 Whereas, I'm

00:25:41.900 seeing that the

00:25:42.520 Republicans are

00:25:43.360 feeling jaunty.

00:25:47.940 Downright jaunty.

00:25:49.940 I don't even

00:25:50.600 know what that

00:25:51.000 means.

00:25:51.780 That's the first

00:25:52.400 time I've ever

00:25:52.960 used that word

00:25:53.620 in public.

00:25:54.800 Is jaunty like

00:25:55.860 happy?

00:25:59.440 There's also a

00:26:00.580 gigantic enthusiasm

00:26:01.740 difference where

00:26:03.460 you have the

00:26:04.020 Democrats who

00:26:04.780 want to vote

00:26:05.440 out of this

00:26:07.200 horrid

00:26:07.920 hellscape of

00:26:08.920 a world.

00:26:09.760 It's all they

00:26:11.780 can do.

00:26:12.660 They're beaten

00:26:13.080 down.

00:26:15.080 But they can

00:26:15.940 at least vote.

00:26:17.440 Whereas, the

00:26:18.380 Trump supporters

00:26:19.080 are seeing it as

00:26:20.260 an opportunity

00:26:20.980 for the best

00:26:21.720 party ever.

00:26:23.880 Which one

00:26:24.660 goes to the

00:26:25.240 polls?

00:26:26.680 If I said to

00:26:27.400 you, Scott,

00:26:28.640 you've got two

00:26:29.120 choices.

00:26:29.580 One, you can

00:26:31.180 go across town

00:26:32.040 and vote or

00:26:32.740 fill out your

00:26:33.280 ballot or

00:26:33.700 whatever.

00:26:33.920 and you

00:26:35.480 might make

00:26:36.120 some tiny

00:26:37.120 difference in

00:26:38.600 this giant

00:26:39.480 hellscape of a

00:26:40.360 problem.

00:26:41.380 To which I'd

00:26:42.240 say, well,

00:26:43.180 okay, if I

00:26:44.300 can make a

00:26:44.760 tiny difference,

00:26:45.780 I guess I

00:26:47.120 want to vote

00:26:47.680 a little bit.

00:26:49.200 Doesn't sound

00:26:49.920 like it'll make

00:26:50.440 much difference,

00:26:51.620 but, you

00:26:52.240 know, it's a

00:26:53.320 hellscape and

00:26:54.160 if my vote

00:26:55.020 could help,

00:26:55.700 maybe.

00:26:56.600 And then compare

00:26:57.320 that to, we're

00:26:59.000 going to have an

00:26:59.600 incredible party.

00:27:00.540 you're not

00:27:02.700 going to want

00:27:03.060 to miss this

00:27:03.600 party.

00:27:04.400 It's going to

00:27:05.040 be lit.

00:27:05.840 We're going to

00:27:06.100 be laughing and

00:27:07.120 joking and

00:27:07.740 chanting all

00:27:09.300 night long.

00:27:10.300 And when Trump

00:27:10.900 wins, it's going

00:27:12.120 to be the

00:27:12.560 laugh and the

00:27:13.980 feel-good vibe.

00:27:16.160 It's going to

00:27:16.820 feel like 2016

00:27:17.740 all over again,

00:27:18.640 maybe even

00:27:19.140 better.

00:27:19.940 Wait till you

00:27:20.380 see the memes

00:27:21.000 of the screaming

00:27:21.760 Democrats.

00:27:22.720 It's going to

00:27:23.260 be great.

00:27:24.960 Now, which

00:27:25.620 one of those

00:27:26.100 gets more

00:27:26.520 people to go

00:27:27.060 to the polls?

00:27:28.500 One of them's

00:27:29.180 a party.

00:27:30.540 And the

00:27:30.860 other one's

00:27:31.280 awake.

00:27:32.720 Which one

00:27:33.300 gets you

00:27:33.640 off the

00:27:33.960 couch?

00:27:35.280 It's the

00:27:35.840 party.

00:27:36.800 It's the

00:27:37.240 party.

00:27:40.000 All right,

00:27:40.800 here's a

00:27:41.380 little sign

00:27:42.220 of the

00:27:42.460 times.

00:27:44.140 You know,

00:27:44.540 when you

00:27:44.820 wake up and

00:27:45.520 you see that

00:27:46.000 half of the

00:27:46.640 news cycle

00:27:47.240 is just one

00:27:49.040 story after

00:27:49.660 another of

00:27:50.520 an older

00:27:51.120 white man's

00:27:51.880 penis. 0.57

00:27:53.020 So now we've

00:27:53.560 got the Rudy

00:27:54.080 Giuliani story,

00:27:55.360 we have the

00:27:55.920 Jeffrey Toobin

00:27:57.260 story,

00:27:58.360 we've got the

00:27:59.120 Ghislaine

00:27:59.860 Maxwell story,

00:28:01.200 which is

00:28:01.500 really about

00:28:01.960 Jeffrey Epstein's

00:28:02.900 penis. 0.57

00:28:04.180 And it

00:28:05.560 feels to me

00:28:06.380 as if this

00:28:08.720 is one of

00:28:09.120 those election

00:28:09.760 year things.

00:28:11.180 It's like you

00:28:11.760 turn on the

00:28:12.460 news, it's

00:28:12.980 like, well,

00:28:14.020 somebody's

00:28:15.000 blaming Russia

00:28:15.980 for something

00:28:17.700 and something

00:28:19.360 something about

00:28:20.140 an old white

00:28:20.780 man's penis. 1.00

00:28:22.400 Must be

00:28:23.140 election time.

00:28:23.760 But, you

00:28:27.240 know, I've

00:28:27.480 told you

00:28:27.760 before that

00:28:28.660 elections are

00:28:30.220 won and

00:28:30.580 lost based

00:28:31.960 on fear.

00:28:33.560 So whoever

00:28:34.180 has a fear

00:28:35.500 of things the

00:28:36.260 way they're

00:28:36.580 going is more

00:28:37.440 likely to vote

00:28:38.180 because they

00:28:38.500 want to get

00:28:39.400 rid of that

00:28:39.800 fear.

00:28:41.660 But it's

00:28:42.220 starting to

00:28:42.560 make me think

00:28:43.060 that Democrats

00:28:43.740 have a deep

00:28:44.920 seated fear

00:28:45.680 of older

00:28:47.720 white men's

00:28:48.580 penises.

00:28:49.860 Because it

00:28:50.460 seems like a

00:28:50.980 lot of these

00:28:51.300 stories come from

00:28:52.040 them.

00:28:53.020 So just

00:28:54.260 putting that

00:28:54.680 out there.

00:28:57.560 So here's

00:28:58.580 the big story

00:28:59.080 of the day

00:28:59.460 that so

00:29:03.700 Joe Biden's

00:29:04.860 ex-business

00:29:06.360 partner has

00:29:08.340 come forward

00:29:09.580 and admitted

00:29:10.200 that the

00:29:10.700 emails are

00:29:11.340 real, that

00:29:12.680 the reference

00:29:13.180 to the

00:29:13.660 quote big

00:29:14.360 guy is

00:29:15.140 definitely

00:29:15.580 Hunter Biden

00:29:16.380 and that the

00:29:17.720 Biden family

00:29:18.480 was all part

00:29:19.440 of the decisions

00:29:20.240 because they

00:29:21.460 were all part

00:29:22.020 of the scheme.

00:29:24.780 Pretty

00:29:25.260 believable,

00:29:25.900 isn't it?

00:29:26.620 Now we live

00:29:27.260 in a world

00:29:27.720 where you

00:29:28.840 can't really

00:29:29.300 trust any

00:29:29.920 news.

00:29:30.840 So who is

00:29:31.740 this business

00:29:32.280 partner?

00:29:33.060 Is he sketchy?

00:29:34.040 Can we believe

00:29:34.660 him?

00:29:35.320 You have to

00:29:35.880 ask all those

00:29:36.420 questions.

00:29:37.560 But it

00:29:39.220 feels true,

00:29:40.400 doesn't it?

00:29:41.260 And that's

00:29:41.680 all that's

00:29:42.000 going to

00:29:42.200 probably matter

00:29:42.800 between now

00:29:43.360 and election

00:29:43.740 day.

00:29:44.180 Unless his

00:29:45.400 credibility

00:29:45.820 takes a

00:29:46.560 bigger hit

00:29:47.300 than I'm

00:29:47.700 expecting,

00:29:48.940 it's going

00:29:49.420 to feel

00:29:49.800 true.

00:29:50.140 Now,

00:29:52.500 who broke

00:29:53.100 the news?

00:29:54.680 Let me

00:29:55.220 check.

00:29:55.780 Who broke

00:29:56.440 that news

00:29:57.100 about Hunter

00:29:58.060 Biden's

00:29:58.620 business

00:29:58.960 partner?

00:29:59.940 Which

00:30:00.220 American

00:30:01.580 news

00:30:02.360 outlet

00:30:02.760 was all

00:30:03.680 over that?

00:30:04.340 New York

00:30:05.140 Times?

00:30:06.680 No,

00:30:07.120 let's see,

00:30:08.060 Huffington

00:30:08.940 Post?

00:30:09.680 Nothing,

00:30:10.560 nothing.

00:30:11.520 You know,

00:30:12.940 nope.

00:30:14.020 A British 0.59

00:30:14.680 publication

00:30:15.380 owned by an

00:30:16.840 Australian,

00:30:17.780 Rupert Murdoch.

00:30:18.600 Yeah,

00:30:20.000 Rupert Murdoch

00:30:20.840 has to

00:30:21.220 break the

00:30:21.600 news because

00:30:22.900 it's basically

00:30:24.400 just locked

00:30:25.340 down from

00:30:25.860 most of

00:30:26.340 the American

00:30:27.000 outlets.

00:30:27.920 Now,

00:30:28.100 of course,

00:30:28.380 the right

00:30:28.700 leaning outlets

00:30:29.500 are covering

00:30:30.140 it.

00:30:32.460 And so,

00:30:33.280 once you

00:30:33.880 know that

00:30:34.500 Joe Biden

00:30:35.960 was the

00:30:36.520 big guy,

00:30:37.640 once you

00:30:38.160 know that

00:30:38.520 the emails

00:30:39.000 are real

00:30:39.660 and that

00:30:40.060 there's a

00:30:40.520 real witness,

00:30:41.620 and here's

00:30:42.060 the funniest

00:30:42.460 part of the

00:30:42.940 story.

00:30:43.580 The reason

00:30:44.140 that Joe

00:30:44.640 Biden's

00:30:45.120 business

00:30:45.500 partner was

00:30:46.360 willing to

00:30:46.860 come forward

00:30:47.500 and throw

00:30:48.420 the Bidens

00:30:49.000 under the

00:30:49.440 bus was

00:30:50.760 because they

00:30:51.420 screwed him.

00:30:54.040 He felt

00:30:54.920 like they

00:30:55.400 screwed him

00:30:56.060 and they

00:30:56.720 were making

00:30:57.160 deals with

00:30:57.760 the Chinese

00:30:58.260 behind his

00:30:58.880 back and

00:30:59.720 he wasn't

00:31:00.120 part of

00:31:00.440 the money

00:31:01.040 stream.

00:31:02.160 So,

00:31:03.680 note to

00:31:04.260 future

00:31:04.700 schemers,

00:31:05.900 if there's

00:31:06.340 anybody who

00:31:07.020 you're scheming

00:31:07.740 with,

00:31:08.160 you should

00:31:08.520 cut them

00:31:08.920 in on your

00:31:09.400 deals.

00:31:10.400 If you

00:31:10.740 don't give

00:31:11.700 your business

00:31:12.200 partner a

00:31:12.820 little bit

00:31:13.160 of that

00:31:13.500 sweet,

00:31:14.040 sweet Chinese

00:31:14.680 money,

00:31:16.380 he might

00:31:16.840 turn on

00:31:17.260 you and

00:31:18.020 it looks

00:31:18.420 like that's

00:31:18.860 what happened.

00:31:20.700 So,

00:31:21.040 that's a,

00:31:21.800 and of

00:31:22.260 course this

00:31:22.680 is an

00:31:23.000 ex-military

00:31:23.760 guy,

00:31:24.360 so it

00:31:24.580 gives it

00:31:24.860 a little

00:31:25.040 more weight,

00:31:25.780 right?

00:31:26.060 Lieutenant

00:31:26.520 Tony

00:31:27.500 Bobulinski.

00:31:29.800 Now,

00:31:30.760 in any

00:31:32.400 kind of a

00:31:32.960 normal world

00:31:33.880 in which

00:31:35.800 things work

00:31:36.700 the way

00:31:37.060 they used

00:31:37.560 to,

00:31:38.480 or things

00:31:39.080 work the

00:31:39.540 way they

00:31:39.980 should,

00:31:41.160 or things

00:31:41.900 work the

00:31:42.340 way you

00:31:43.000 would like

00:31:43.420 them to

00:31:43.820 work,

00:31:45.020 wouldn't

00:31:45.500 the Biden

00:31:45.920 campaign

00:31:46.500 announce

00:31:47.200 either one

00:31:48.160 of two

00:31:48.460 things,

00:31:48.980 either he's

00:31:49.540 withdrawing

00:31:50.160 from the

00:31:50.560 race,

00:31:51.920 right?

00:31:53.060 Wouldn't

00:31:53.440 you expect

00:31:53.960 that Joe

00:31:54.540 Biden would

00:31:55.160 just drop

00:31:56.200 out of the

00:31:56.540 race?

00:31:57.940 Because I

00:31:59.060 think he's

00:31:59.420 going to

00:31:59.760 jail.

00:32:01.260 Well,

00:32:01.820 no,

00:32:02.020 I guess it

00:32:02.700 probably isn't

00:32:03.500 illegal,

00:32:04.880 or at least

00:32:06.020 people that

00:32:06.560 rich tend

00:32:07.040 not to go

00:32:07.500 to jail

00:32:07.860 even if

00:32:08.260 they do

00:32:08.520 things

00:32:08.820 illegal.

00:32:09.840 But it's

00:32:10.640 so obviously

00:32:11.660 verifiably

00:32:13.320 sketchy that

00:32:14.120 you can't

00:32:14.520 really have

00:32:14.960 that guy

00:32:15.380 as your

00:32:15.720 president.

00:32:16.460 That's just

00:32:16.780 not a

00:32:17.080 thing.

00:32:17.880 And if

00:32:18.160 Trump had

00:32:18.820 ever done,

00:32:19.540 or the

00:32:19.820 Trump family,

00:32:21.000 had ever

00:32:21.600 done anything,

00:32:23.540 anything in

00:32:24.760 that universe

00:32:25.680 of badness,

00:32:27.160 I feel like

00:32:28.080 we'd know

00:32:28.460 about it by

00:32:28.960 now.

00:32:30.100 I mean,

00:32:30.360 it's the

00:32:30.560 most vetted

00:32:31.180 family in

00:32:31.800 the history

00:32:32.200 of families.

00:32:33.360 So we'd

00:32:34.260 kind of know

00:32:34.760 about that.

00:32:36.360 So given

00:32:36.980 that the

00:32:38.100 reason that

00:32:38.780 Joe Biden

00:32:39.360 was selected

00:32:40.720 to run

00:32:41.260 against Trump,

00:32:42.560 and I think

00:32:43.040 you would

00:32:43.280 agree this

00:32:43.780 is true,

00:32:44.520 the primary

00:32:45.500 reason he

00:32:46.280 was selected

00:32:46.920 is that he

00:32:48.600 seemed like

00:32:49.120 he was the

00:32:49.620 honest guy

00:32:50.400 who could

00:32:51.420 run against

00:32:52.060 Trump.

00:32:53.780 Right?

00:32:54.540 It seemed

00:32:55.140 like it

00:32:56.960 seemed like

00:32:57.480 it was the

00:32:58.900 honest guy.

00:33:00.660 But now

00:33:01.600 we have

00:33:02.060 absolute,

00:33:03.300 I would say

00:33:04.140 this is very

00:33:04.760 credible,

00:33:05.840 you know,

00:33:06.020 you can't

00:33:06.360 trust anything

00:33:06.960 absolutely in

00:33:08.000 this day and

00:33:08.480 age,

00:33:08.940 but it looks

00:33:09.420 pretty credible

00:33:10.060 to me that

00:33:11.320 Joe Biden

00:33:11.960 is,

00:33:12.420 criminally,

00:33:15.480 I would say

00:33:16.320 criminally,

00:33:17.120 I'll say

00:33:17.520 that with

00:33:18.760 a caveat

00:33:19.280 that it

00:33:19.780 doesn't mean

00:33:20.200 literally

00:33:20.700 criminal,

00:33:21.680 I don't

00:33:22.140 know about

00:33:22.620 that part,

00:33:23.660 but in

00:33:24.060 terms of

00:33:24.440 how bad

00:33:24.940 it feels,

00:33:25.780 it's criminally

00:33:26.760 bad,

00:33:27.400 if I could

00:33:27.860 use the

00:33:28.200 word figuratively,

00:33:30.140 and we

00:33:31.560 know that

00:33:31.980 he's an

00:33:34.080 habitual liar, 0.67

00:33:35.440 which was the

00:33:36.260 other thing

00:33:36.780 that he was

00:33:37.380 running against

00:33:38.000 Trump for.

00:33:38.620 Now,

00:33:39.540 I'm not

00:33:39.820 going to

00:33:40.040 defend

00:33:40.400 Trump's

00:33:41.080 fact-checking,

00:33:42.420 I'm not

00:33:42.820 suicidal, 0.70

00:33:44.360 that would

00:33:45.660 be crazy.

00:33:46.680 Yeah,

00:33:47.160 Trump has

00:33:48.160 some fact-checking

00:33:49.260 irregularities,

00:33:50.600 let's say,

00:33:51.240 maybe 20,000

00:33:52.220 of them,

00:33:52.980 but Biden

00:33:54.120 was running

00:33:54.720 against that,

00:33:56.440 and now

00:33:56.840 he's demonstrated

00:33:57.980 to have lied

00:33:58.920 about the

00:33:59.360 laptop,

00:34:00.440 he lied

00:34:00.880 about Trump's

00:34:02.800 calling service

00:34:04.000 people losers

00:34:04.940 and suckers, 0.96

00:34:05.840 that never

00:34:06.240 happened,

00:34:07.020 he lied

00:34:07.460 about the

00:34:07.840 fine people

00:34:08.420 hoax,

00:34:09.420 he lied

00:34:10.020 about what

00:34:12.260 Trump's going

00:34:12.840 to do with

00:34:13.220 health care,

00:34:14.360 basically,

00:34:15.980 he is the

00:34:16.540 most thorough

00:34:17.740 liar since,

00:34:20.640 I don't know,

00:34:21.280 Hillary Clinton,

00:34:22.840 so does his

00:34:25.040 team see this

00:34:25.840 or not?

00:34:27.080 Because I

00:34:28.100 feel like they

00:34:28.580 don't see it,

00:34:29.740 it's still

00:34:30.440 hidden from

00:34:31.060 them,

00:34:31.660 because they're

00:34:32.120 not going to

00:34:32.600 read a

00:34:33.640 British

00:34:33.980 publication,

00:34:35.280 for the most

00:34:36.040 part,

00:34:36.540 they're just

00:34:37.100 going to

00:34:37.320 read CNN

00:34:37.820 and whatever

00:34:38.520 they were

00:34:38.880 reading before,

00:34:39.560 and they

00:34:39.760 just won't

00:34:40.160 know.

00:34:41.080 And we

00:34:41.400 could actually

00:34:41.860 get to

00:34:42.500 election day

00:34:43.500 with most

00:34:44.620 of the

00:34:44.980 public,

00:34:46.100 most of

00:34:46.560 the Democratic

00:34:47.120 Republic,

00:34:48.320 the Democrats,

00:34:49.500 most of them

00:34:50.200 not knowing

00:34:50.840 the biggest

00:34:52.220 story in the

00:34:52.820 country.

00:34:53.240 They won't

00:34:53.560 know it,

00:34:54.620 because that's

00:34:55.580 how thoroughly

00:34:56.300 the news and

00:34:58.160 social media is

00:34:58.980 managed by the

00:35:00.300 gatekeepers.

00:35:01.760 And that's,

00:35:02.400 it's mind-blowing.

00:35:03.740 It's even hard,

00:35:04.760 it's hard for me

00:35:05.400 to hold it

00:35:05.880 in my head.

00:35:06.940 And I've

00:35:07.460 speculated this,

00:35:08.600 that the way

00:35:10.800 we're acting

00:35:11.480 as a country

00:35:12.320 doesn't seem

00:35:13.940 related to

00:35:15.540 what we're

00:35:15.980 observing.

00:35:17.080 Because I

00:35:17.780 think we're

00:35:18.220 all observing,

00:35:19.420 especially with

00:35:20.320 the Clapper

00:35:21.120 and Brennan

00:35:22.200 stuff trying

00:35:23.360 to say there

00:35:23.880 was Russian

00:35:24.400 disinformation

00:35:25.040 on the

00:35:25.560 laptop,

00:35:26.820 we're observing

00:35:28.140 with no

00:35:28.900 ambiguity

00:35:29.480 whatsoever,

00:35:30.140 in my opinion,

00:35:31.020 the leaders

00:35:33.600 and important

00:35:34.400 people who

00:35:35.020 have run

00:35:35.340 our government

00:35:35.900 acting so

00:35:38.280 illegitimately

00:35:39.160 that they

00:35:40.320 should be run

00:35:40.960 off the stage

00:35:41.800 and if not

00:35:42.580 jailed in some

00:35:43.340 cases.

00:35:44.780 And yet,

00:35:45.360 what will

00:35:45.960 happen to

00:35:46.440 these people

00:35:46.980 who are

00:35:47.460 actively trying

00:35:48.420 to overthrow

00:35:48.980 the government,

00:35:50.400 actively running

00:35:51.800 a disinformation

00:35:52.600 campaign against

00:35:53.700 the American

00:35:54.260 people from

00:35:55.940 the experience

00:35:57.520 of being the

00:35:58.260 heads of

00:35:58.700 intel agencies,

00:35:59.660 is anything

00:36:00.580 worse than

00:36:01.080 that?

00:36:01.880 If you were

00:36:02.480 to make a

00:36:03.160 list of the

00:36:04.320 worst things

00:36:04.920 anybody could

00:36:05.580 do, I suppose

00:36:06.820 you'd have

00:36:07.140 genocide up at

00:36:08.220 the top,

00:36:08.980 but somewhere

00:36:09.520 in the top

00:36:10.120 five would

00:36:11.840 be ex-intel

00:36:14.200 heads running

00:36:15.060 a disinformation

00:36:15.840 campaign in

00:36:17.540 their own

00:36:17.920 country.

00:36:19.340 That's really

00:36:20.220 close to the

00:36:20.900 top of bad

00:36:21.580 behavior.

00:36:22.880 And what

00:36:23.700 will happen

00:36:24.140 because of

00:36:24.660 it?

00:36:25.040 And my

00:36:25.340 prediction is

00:36:26.360 nothing.

00:36:27.840 My prediction

00:36:28.480 is that

00:36:29.000 Brennan and

00:36:29.480 Clapper will

00:36:30.040 just go on

00:36:30.760 with their

00:36:31.060 life.

00:36:31.860 There'll be

00:36:32.200 no penalty,

00:36:33.300 no nothing.

00:36:35.220 And it's

00:36:36.060 mind-boggling.

00:36:37.160 And I try

00:36:37.740 to think to

00:36:38.840 myself, why

00:36:40.820 thinking to

00:36:41.560 myself is the

00:36:42.220 way I do

00:36:42.620 it?

00:36:43.000 A lot of

00:36:43.580 people think

00:36:44.560 to other

00:36:44.900 people, I

00:36:45.360 guess.

00:36:46.080 But what

00:36:46.400 I think,

00:36:47.740 I can't

00:36:50.120 reconcile what

00:36:51.600 we're clearly

00:36:52.300 observing with

00:36:53.860 the complete

00:36:54.520 lack of

00:36:55.400 activity or

00:36:57.060 action to

00:36:58.800 be the

00:36:59.140 response to

00:36:59.940 it.

00:37:00.160 The response

00:37:01.240 is completely

00:37:01.880 disconnected from

00:37:03.040 the observation

00:37:03.720 now.

00:37:04.700 And here's the

00:37:05.380 best way I

00:37:05.940 can explain

00:37:06.500 it.

00:37:07.480 Our brain

00:37:08.580 can't accept

00:37:09.540 what we're

00:37:10.620 seeing.

00:37:11.540 And so we're

00:37:12.420 rejecting it as

00:37:13.340 actually happening.

00:37:14.600 Your brain can't

00:37:15.760 really process

00:37:16.600 that the

00:37:18.020 ex-heads of

00:37:18.920 intel are

00:37:19.660 running a

00:37:20.560 disinformation

00:37:21.140 campaign and

00:37:22.900 it's the second

00:37:23.620 time they've

00:37:24.180 done it and

00:37:25.360 the Russia

00:37:25.960 collusion thing

00:37:26.740 is completely

00:37:27.400 transparent now,

00:37:28.820 completely

00:37:29.220 discovered to

00:37:30.060 have been an

00:37:31.140 illegal, or

00:37:33.540 at least

00:37:33.880 illegitimate,

00:37:35.200 disinformation

00:37:35.880 campaign in

00:37:37.480 the effort to

00:37:38.140 overthrow the

00:37:38.940 legally elected

00:37:39.760 government of

00:37:40.460 the United

00:37:40.780 States.

00:37:41.620 And what will

00:37:42.200 you do about

00:37:42.760 it tomorrow?

00:37:44.000 Nothing.

00:37:44.980 What will I do

00:37:46.200 about that?

00:37:48.000 Nothing.

00:37:49.280 What will the

00:37:50.260 government do

00:37:50.860 about it?

00:37:51.480 As far as I

00:37:52.120 can tell?

00:37:53.660 Nothing.

00:37:55.560 And what

00:37:56.740 will the

00:37:57.100 public do

00:37:58.700 about it in

00:37:59.260 terms of how

00:37:59.840 it changes

00:38:00.320 their votes?

00:38:01.860 It won't.

00:38:02.920 It won't even

00:38:03.700 change a vote.

00:38:04.880 Because the

00:38:05.620 people who

00:38:06.060 didn't like the

00:38:06.680 Democrats still

00:38:07.500 don't like them

00:38:08.240 and vice versa.

00:38:10.360 So my best

00:38:12.120 guess in

00:38:13.660 terms of the

00:38:15.220 psychology of

00:38:16.120 what's happening

00:38:16.640 is that because

00:38:17.840 the thing we're

00:38:18.980 observing can't

00:38:20.580 exist, it

00:38:21.960 does exist, it

00:38:23.480 absolutely 100%

00:38:24.940 exists, and we're

00:38:26.280 looking right at

00:38:27.060 it, but it

00:38:28.220 can't exist in

00:38:29.140 our minds.

00:38:30.060 Our mind can't

00:38:31.180 say that that's

00:38:31.940 real, even while

00:38:33.000 we're looking at

00:38:33.600 it.

00:38:34.480 And so we go

00:38:36.320 on with our

00:38:36.940 lives as if it

00:38:38.760 were not real.

00:38:40.140 Because we can't

00:38:41.580 reconcile it.

00:38:42.580 It just can't be

00:38:43.360 part of my mental

00:38:45.260 model because it

00:38:46.180 doesn't fit

00:38:46.740 anywhere.

00:38:48.060 I think that's

00:38:48.980 what's happening.

00:38:49.680 That's my best

00:38:50.380 understanding of

00:38:51.600 why we could

00:38:52.860 be observing

00:38:53.400 this and our

00:38:54.180 actions have

00:38:54.840 nothing to do

00:38:55.440 with the

00:38:55.680 observation.

00:38:56.740 We just can't

00:38:57.300 handle it.

00:38:58.560 All right,

00:39:00.220 I guess James

00:39:01.480 Ratcliffe, is

00:39:02.640 that his first

00:39:03.060 name?

00:39:03.780 But his last

00:39:04.380 name is

00:39:04.740 Ratcliffe.

00:39:07.240 Let me say

00:39:08.000 this, if you

00:39:08.680 wanted to have

00:39:09.380 a high public

00:39:10.600 official, let's

00:39:12.320 say the head

00:39:12.880 of Intel, and

00:39:14.400 you wanted to

00:39:15.020 give him a

00:39:15.560 last name that

00:39:17.080 would make you

00:39:17.640 feel that he's

00:39:19.120 telling you the

00:39:19.680 truth, and you

00:39:20.520 can trust this

00:39:21.260 guy, you would

00:39:22.540 not want his

00:39:23.240 last name to

00:39:23.980 be Ratcliffe.

00:39:26.760 Because I

00:39:28.300 don't like rats,

00:39:29.480 and I don't

00:39:29.940 like cliffs, and

00:39:31.440 I don't like

00:39:32.040 rats standing on

00:39:34.020 cliffs.

00:39:35.380 Because none of

00:39:36.160 that's good.

00:39:37.500 So he needs to

00:39:38.800 change his name to

00:39:39.560 something I can

00:39:40.260 feel better about,

00:39:42.960 Ratcliffe.

00:39:44.040 Come on,

00:39:45.060 simulation.

00:39:45.520 All right, so

00:39:47.020 he says that

00:39:47.620 there's no

00:39:47.980 evidence of

00:39:48.540 Russian disinformation,

00:39:50.480 which, of

00:39:51.100 course, the

00:39:51.620 news on the

00:39:52.180 right turns

00:39:53.000 into there's

00:39:53.800 proof of no

00:39:54.620 Russian disinformation,

00:39:55.880 which is not

00:39:56.360 what happened,

00:39:57.220 because you

00:39:57.780 can't prove

00:39:58.380 something didn't

00:39:59.180 happen.

00:40:00.260 We can only

00:40:00.840 say there's no

00:40:01.420 evidence of it,

00:40:02.500 which is close

00:40:03.880 to being the

00:40:04.420 same, but it's

00:40:04.920 not the same.

00:40:06.360 Could it be

00:40:07.120 that the

00:40:08.160 Russians had 1.00

00:40:08.680 found a way

00:40:09.340 to do it

00:40:09.780 without being

00:40:10.260 discovered?

00:40:12.260 Hypothetically,

00:40:12.780 I suppose.

00:40:14.420 But I believe

00:40:15.340 the Russians

00:40:15.800 were not

00:40:16.300 involved with

00:40:16.940 this laptop.

00:40:19.640 But we do

00:40:20.560 have news now

00:40:21.220 that Russia 0.72

00:40:21.700 and Iran

00:40:22.480 are interfering

00:40:23.460 with the

00:40:23.980 elections.

00:40:24.820 I don't know

00:40:25.280 what the

00:40:25.560 Russian examples

00:40:26.420 were, but

00:40:27.420 the Iranian

00:40:27.960 example was

00:40:28.840 hilarious.

00:40:31.140 I think that

00:40:32.100 we give the

00:40:32.960 foreign intelligence

00:40:33.900 groups a little

00:40:35.180 bit too much

00:40:35.980 credit, because

00:40:37.440 I don't have

00:40:38.180 the exact text

00:40:40.040 here, but

00:40:40.600 apparently Iran

00:40:41.500 is being

00:40:42.700 blamed for

00:40:43.480 making up

00:40:44.000 some fake

00:40:44.880 social media

00:40:46.220 posts that

00:40:47.680 blame the

00:40:48.660 Proud Boys

00:40:49.280 for, I

00:40:52.680 guess the

00:40:53.060 allegation is

00:40:53.820 that the

00:40:54.140 Proud Boys

00:40:54.680 would be at

00:40:56.180 election places

00:40:57.320 and threatening

00:40:58.100 to beat people

00:40:58.900 up who didn't

00:40:59.980 vote for Trump,

00:41:01.500 and therefore

00:41:02.040 the Proud Boys

00:41:03.340 are part of a

00:41:04.180 massive voter

00:41:05.460 suppression campaign.

00:41:07.620 Now, of course,

00:41:08.700 none of this

00:41:09.220 is true, and

00:41:10.720 it's been

00:41:11.160 traced back

00:41:11.680 to Iran,

00:41:12.860 but if you

00:41:14.040 were going to

00:41:15.340 make up some

00:41:16.000 kind of a

00:41:17.780 BS story to

00:41:19.280 influence somebody's

00:41:20.420 election, you

00:41:21.860 couldn't do

00:41:22.280 better than

00:41:22.700 that, because

00:41:24.320 first of all,

00:41:25.300 there aren't

00:41:25.600 that many

00:41:26.040 Proud Boys.

00:41:27.220 Second of all,

00:41:27.940 this doesn't

00:41:28.400 sound even a

00:41:29.080 little bit

00:41:29.460 true.

00:41:30.580 Thirdly, the

00:41:31.320 Proud Boys

00:41:31.740 don't do

00:41:32.160 anything like

00:41:32.880 that.

00:41:33.180 The Proud

00:41:38.600 Boys are

00:41:41.480 not an

00:41:42.060 offensive

00:41:42.660 organization,

00:41:44.120 right?

00:41:46.600 Correct me if

00:41:47.460 I'm wrong, but

00:41:48.600 no matter what

00:41:49.280 you think of

00:41:49.960 the Proud Boys,

00:41:50.920 my understanding

00:41:51.880 of them is

00:41:52.740 that they don't

00:41:53.580 start fights.

00:41:55.460 They're pretty

00:41:56.340 good at finishing

00:41:57.100 fights, and

00:41:58.640 they seem to

00:41:59.240 enjoy fights,

00:42:00.080 and drinking

00:42:01.300 and, you

00:42:02.240 know, fellowship

00:42:03.200 and whatever

00:42:03.740 else they're

00:42:04.240 doing, but

00:42:05.700 under no

00:42:08.280 scenario can

00:42:09.640 you see the

00:42:10.360 Proud Boys

00:42:10.940 going somewhere

00:42:11.940 to intimidate

00:42:12.960 somebody into

00:42:13.660 voting differently.

00:42:14.760 It's sort of

00:42:15.500 ridiculous, because

00:42:17.000 it doesn't make

00:42:17.560 any sense with

00:42:18.980 who they are as

00:42:19.700 an organization.

00:42:21.180 Even if you

00:42:21.920 don't like them,

00:42:22.900 it doesn't make

00:42:23.500 any sense with

00:42:24.200 who they are.

00:42:26.360 So I ask

00:42:27.520 myself, are

00:42:29.040 you telling me

00:42:29.540 that Iran can't 1.00

00:42:30.480 do a better

00:42:31.040 job than

00:42:31.620 that?

00:42:33.140 I mean, I'm

00:42:34.180 not going to

00:42:34.520 make myself

00:42:35.080 available to

00:42:35.860 Iran for 0.87

00:42:36.400 consulting, but

00:42:38.000 if I did, I'm

00:42:39.440 pretty sure they

00:42:40.040 could have had a

00:42:40.520 better product

00:42:41.080 than that.

00:42:42.120 That was pretty

00:42:42.800 lame.

00:42:44.380 All right, so

00:42:45.980 the Proud Boys

00:42:47.180 will not beat

00:42:48.080 you up if you

00:42:49.140 vote.

00:42:50.780 I feel like I

00:42:51.880 can say this

00:42:52.520 with some

00:42:52.940 confidence.

00:42:54.400 The Proud Boys

00:42:55.100 will not beat

00:42:56.180 you up if you

00:42:57.940 vote.

00:42:58.660 Because you

00:42:59.160 know what the

00:42:59.520 Proud Boys

00:42:59.980 like?

00:43:01.960 Hold on, this

00:43:02.960 will blow your 0.93

00:43:03.440 mind, and

00:43:04.700 Iran doesn't 1.00

00:43:05.460 know this

00:43:05.820 apparently, but

00:43:07.160 do you know

00:43:07.420 what the Proud

00:43:07.900 Boys like? 0.92

00:43:09.380 Voting.

00:43:10.560 Yeah, yeah, the

00:43:11.980 Proud Boys like

00:43:12.800 voting, because

00:43:13.900 they're patriots.

00:43:15.640 Is there any

00:43:16.380 patriot who

00:43:17.040 doesn't like

00:43:17.960 voting?

00:43:19.500 Is there a

00:43:20.140 patriot who

00:43:21.700 thinks that we

00:43:22.380 should discourage

00:43:23.380 people from

00:43:24.040 voting?

00:43:25.520 That's sort of

00:43:26.300 the opposite,

00:43:27.540 pretty much the

00:43:28.220 opposite of the

00:43:28.920 Proud Boys?

00:43:29.600 And it's not

00:43:30.280 my job to

00:43:31.000 defend the

00:43:31.680 Proud Boys,

00:43:32.280 so later when

00:43:33.460 somebody says,

00:43:34.260 oh, that's

00:43:35.520 Scott Adams, he

00:43:36.260 was defending

00:43:36.800 the Proud Boys,

00:43:37.780 that's just not

00:43:38.600 my job.

00:43:39.840 I'm just telling

00:43:40.480 you, there's an

00:43:41.240 inconsistency with

00:43:42.380 who they are and

00:43:44.100 with this Iranian 0.99

00:43:45.080 thing.

00:43:46.540 Here's the good

00:43:47.260 news, climate

00:43:47.960 change has been

00:43:48.640 solved.

00:43:49.580 Okay, maybe I'm

00:43:50.260 getting ahead of

00:43:50.720 myself a little

00:43:51.420 bit.

00:43:52.380 But, apparently

00:43:53.500 this following

00:43:54.200 story is very

00:43:55.280 real, because I

00:43:56.420 saw the video of

00:43:57.580 the company that

00:43:59.160 can do this.

00:43:59.840 They found a

00:44:00.320 way, a company

00:44:01.120 did, called

00:44:02.720 New Light

00:44:03.340 Technologies, and

00:44:05.180 they found a

00:44:05.720 way to make

00:44:06.260 biodegradable

00:44:07.380 plastic alternatives

00:44:09.300 out of CO2.

00:44:12.440 They can take

00:44:13.260 CO2, I think,

00:44:14.440 out of the air

00:44:15.080 and turn it

00:44:16.600 into plastic

00:44:18.360 straws that are

00:44:19.460 not plastic,

00:44:20.400 they're made

00:44:20.800 out of the

00:44:21.540 CO2.

00:44:21.960 so they can

00:44:23.880 remove greenhouse

00:44:24.740 gases, and at

00:44:27.320 the same time,

00:44:28.300 they can turn it

00:44:29.100 into biodegradable

00:44:30.360 plastic replacements

00:44:32.140 so you don't need

00:44:33.140 the petroleum, and

00:44:34.500 it doesn't sit in

00:44:35.360 your ocean and not

00:44:37.160 degrade for

00:44:37.800 thousands of years.

00:44:39.500 That's like a

00:44:40.680 really big thing.

00:44:42.700 You know, I've

00:44:43.220 been saying since

00:44:43.900 the beginning that

00:44:44.800 although climate

00:44:45.720 change appears real

00:44:47.280 as far as I can

00:44:48.160 tell, you know,

00:44:49.440 my best guess is

00:44:51.540 that the science

00:44:53.060 of humans influencing

00:44:54.880 climate is

00:44:56.360 basically real.

00:44:57.460 I don't know if

00:44:57.900 they have every

00:44:58.400 detail right, and

00:45:00.100 I don't believe

00:45:00.960 predictions over

00:45:02.220 80 years, ever.

00:45:03.680 There's no situation

00:45:04.580 where I would

00:45:05.080 believe that.

00:45:06.800 But, you know, I

00:45:07.500 think the basic

00:45:08.300 problem is almost

00:45:09.720 certainly real.

00:45:10.980 I could be wrong,

00:45:12.120 but that's my

00:45:12.620 current take on it.

00:45:15.560 But I have been

00:45:16.540 saying that you

00:45:17.120 don't need to

00:45:17.880 worry about the

00:45:19.420 end of the

00:45:20.020 earth or anything

00:45:21.100 like it because

00:45:22.500 people are really

00:45:23.780 good at adjusting

00:45:24.600 and finding solutions

00:45:26.020 and we have lots

00:45:26.740 of time.

00:45:27.780 This is the sort

00:45:28.780 of thing that you

00:45:30.260 could have predicted

00:45:31.020 was coming.

00:45:31.700 If you read my

00:45:32.240 book, Loser

00:45:32.840 Think, you see a

00:45:34.020 bunch of other

00:45:34.540 examples in there

00:45:35.520 of companies that

00:45:36.740 are doing similar

00:45:37.520 things.

00:45:38.380 They're turning

00:45:38.980 CO2 into some

00:45:40.300 kind of product,

00:45:41.740 or they're finding

00:45:42.900 innovative new

00:45:43.880 energy sources.

00:45:45.880 So I think we're

00:45:46.860 going to solve

00:45:47.280 climate change,

00:45:48.460 and this might

00:45:49.440 be part of it.

00:45:51.280 Might be good.

00:45:52.560 All right, is

00:45:52.940 everybody going to,

00:45:54.480 somebody's asking

00:45:55.280 if it's fake?

00:45:56.360 You know, I would

00:45:57.020 have thought it

00:45:57.460 was fake, or at

00:45:58.600 least I would have

00:45:59.120 been less believing

00:46:00.740 of it, if I had not

00:46:02.300 seen the video where

00:46:03.200 there's a very big

00:46:03.940 factory that looks

00:46:05.060 like a big industrial

00:46:06.740 processing plant.

00:46:10.320 So it looks like

00:46:11.320 somebody put some,

00:46:12.640 you know, tens or

00:46:13.500 hundreds of millions

00:46:14.260 of dollars into

00:46:15.000 building it.

00:46:15.540 so I got a

00:46:16.780 feeling that

00:46:17.160 somebody saw

00:46:17.780 something that

00:46:18.340 was convincing

00:46:18.940 because they put

00:46:20.100 many millions of

00:46:21.780 dollars into

00:46:22.240 building that

00:46:22.720 thing.

00:46:24.380 What's the name

00:46:25.040 of the company?

00:46:25.700 I don't think

00:46:26.220 that they have

00:46:26.860 any stock.

00:46:28.460 I would imagine

00:46:29.100 that they're

00:46:29.460 private, but in

00:46:30.800 the story it's

00:46:31.460 called New

00:46:32.200 Light Technologies,

00:46:33.920 and New

00:46:34.360 Light is one

00:46:36.140 word, New

00:46:37.000 Light.

00:46:38.120 And the product

00:46:38.980 they're calling

00:46:39.540 Air Carbon,

00:46:40.620 all one word,

00:46:41.560 Air Carbon.

00:46:42.240 All right, so

00:46:44.480 who knows, we

00:46:45.480 might see a

00:46:46.200 thousand stories

00:46:47.060 like this, and

00:46:47.860 maybe 990 of

00:46:49.520 them are not

00:46:50.000 real in the

00:46:50.660 end, but I

00:46:53.260 feel like this

00:46:53.840 one might be.

00:46:57.560 Looking at

00:46:58.240 some of your

00:46:58.620 questions,

00:46:59.380 somebody's asking

00:47:00.160 me, didn't

00:47:01.080 you predict

00:47:01.940 Biden would

00:47:03.160 pick Kamala

00:47:03.820 because she

00:47:04.680 has a personal

00:47:05.520 connection?

00:47:06.520 Yes, I

00:47:08.360 did.

00:47:08.620 Now, given

00:47:10.580 the Biden

00:47:11.880 laptop story,

00:47:13.640 and given

00:47:14.140 that the

00:47:14.700 partner has

00:47:15.400 confirmed it,

00:47:16.660 and I think

00:47:17.240 that's going

00:47:17.660 to hold.

00:47:18.380 Sometimes you

00:47:19.060 have to wait

00:47:19.480 48 hours because

00:47:21.100 everything you

00:47:21.680 hear about a

00:47:22.280 new story turns

00:47:23.060 out to be

00:47:23.680 false, and

00:47:25.560 two days later

00:47:26.320 it's obvious.

00:47:27.760 But I don't

00:47:29.120 think we're

00:47:29.580 going to find

00:47:29.980 out that this

00:47:30.620 Biden partner

00:47:31.460 is lying,

00:47:32.860 because it

00:47:33.380 would be a

00:47:33.760 weird lie,

00:47:34.480 wouldn't it?

00:47:35.180 Anybody could

00:47:36.020 lie for any

00:47:36.660 reason, but

00:47:37.280 the way the

00:47:39.200 partner responded

00:47:40.940 to the story

00:47:41.800 and his

00:47:42.740 reason for

00:47:43.400 coming forward

00:47:44.260 and his

00:47:45.280 details, that

00:47:47.460 reads true

00:47:48.800 to me, just

00:47:49.960 completely true.

00:47:52.760 So I'm

00:47:53.520 expecting that

00:47:54.140 story to

00:47:54.540 hold. 0.96

00:47:55.600 And doesn't

00:47:56.760 that take

00:47:57.320 Biden out of

00:47:58.300 contention,

00:47:59.200 wouldn't you

00:47:59.640 say?

00:48:00.220 It kind of

00:48:01.240 makes it as

00:48:02.260 if Kamala is

00:48:03.280 the one running

00:48:03.860 for president.

00:48:05.000 And at this

00:48:05.700 point, here's

00:48:06.680 what I would

00:48:07.100 expect.

00:48:08.120 If Joe

00:48:08.920 Biden got

00:48:09.540 elected, they

00:48:11.060 would have to

00:48:11.780 start impeachment

00:48:12.780 proceedings on

00:48:15.740 Inauguration Day,

00:48:17.300 wouldn't they?

00:48:18.920 Now, just do a

00:48:19.920 fact check with

00:48:20.560 me.

00:48:21.100 If the facts

00:48:22.520 hold up that

00:48:24.120 the Biden

00:48:24.580 business partner

00:48:25.380 is telling the

00:48:26.020 right story, and

00:48:27.380 if his version

00:48:28.160 is true, that

00:48:29.260 the entire

00:48:29.780 Biden family

00:48:30.680 is basically a

00:48:32.120 criminal organization

00:48:33.340 using Hunter as

00:48:35.080 the rainmaker

00:48:36.260 to get funds

00:48:39.140 that would

00:48:39.420 benefit all of

00:48:40.120 them, if

00:48:41.240 that's true, and

00:48:41.980 it certainly

00:48:42.320 looks like it's

00:48:43.000 true, and if

00:48:44.460 Biden somehow

00:48:45.280 got elected

00:48:45.900 anyway, wouldn't

00:48:48.300 you have to

00:48:48.800 start impeachment

00:48:49.680 on Inauguration

00:48:51.960 Day?

00:48:53.300 Right?

00:48:54.580 Is that an

00:48:55.700 exaggeration?

00:48:56.760 Now, depending

00:48:57.540 on who's in

00:48:59.140 charge of

00:48:59.560 Congress, your

00:49:00.780 odds of succeeding

00:49:01.860 impeachment may

00:49:02.880 be close to

00:49:03.940 zero, but I'm

00:49:05.560 wondering if

00:49:06.180 even the

00:49:06.660 Democrats

00:49:07.160 wouldn't impeach

00:49:08.140 him at this

00:49:08.960 point.

00:49:09.880 Imagine you're

00:49:10.620 a Democrat, and

00:49:11.960 you get a

00:49:12.520 Biden-Harris

00:49:13.400 ticket, and

00:49:14.780 they win.

00:49:15.740 Imagine they

00:49:16.360 win.

00:49:17.140 Could happen.

00:49:17.860 Anything could

00:49:18.280 happen.

00:49:18.780 I'm still

00:49:19.160 predicting Trump

00:49:20.120 will win easily.

00:49:21.240 But imagine

00:49:21.700 they win.

00:49:22.920 What's the

00:49:23.540 first thing you're

00:49:24.240 going to need

00:49:24.620 to do?

00:49:26.100 You're going to

00:49:26.780 need to impeach

00:49:27.480 your own guy so

00:49:28.700 you can get

00:49:29.240 Kamala in the

00:49:30.100 top spot, because

00:49:31.360 that's what you

00:49:31.880 wanted anyway.

00:49:33.320 And if Joe

00:49:33.940 Biden makes it

00:49:34.700 easy to remove

00:49:35.880 him, and of

00:49:37.600 course, he might

00:49:38.360 just say, my

00:49:39.160 health is failing.

00:49:40.840 I'm sorry, I

00:49:41.680 didn't realize my

00:49:42.320 health would fail on

00:49:43.220 the day I got

00:49:43.820 inaugurated, but

00:49:44.680 there it is.

00:49:45.680 I'm stepping

00:49:46.160 aside.

00:49:46.960 So he probably

00:49:47.660 wouldn't get

00:49:48.260 impeached.

00:49:49.480 He would probably

00:49:50.180 get talked into

00:49:51.160 saying that his

00:49:51.840 health isn't so

00:49:52.540 good, and maybe

00:49:53.200 it's time to go,

00:49:54.280 and Kamala is a

00:49:55.640 good replacement.

00:49:57.000 So let me ask

00:49:57.980 you this.

00:49:59.480 A few days before

00:50:00.600 election,

00:50:01.360 what do you

00:50:02.560 think of my

00:50:03.100 prediction that

00:50:04.580 Kamala would be 0.99

00:50:05.880 the candidate?

00:50:08.380 Right?

00:50:09.500 Because even when

00:50:10.920 Kamala got picked

00:50:11.800 as vice president,

00:50:13.500 and you said to

00:50:14.160 yourself, okay,

00:50:14.780 Scott, I get your

00:50:15.580 argument that Joe

00:50:16.700 is declining

00:50:18.120 mentally, so maybe

00:50:19.640 she's really the

00:50:20.560 real candidate.

00:50:22.180 And everybody

00:50:22.820 sort of agreed with

00:50:23.780 that, the entire

00:50:24.580 press.

00:50:25.960 I think even the

00:50:26.740 Democrats agreed with

00:50:27.740 that case.

00:50:28.980 But now with

00:50:30.020 the laptop

00:50:30.900 story, that

00:50:33.020 really makes

00:50:33.600 Biden completely

00:50:35.400 non-viable

00:50:36.360 regardless of

00:50:37.360 his health.

00:50:39.560 So it feels to

00:50:40.620 me like Kamala

00:50:43.360 Harris is the

00:50:44.260 candidate because

00:50:45.220 I don't imagine

00:50:46.100 any scenario in

00:50:47.720 which Biden could

00:50:48.700 not be impeached

00:50:50.800 upon inauguration

00:50:52.460 or resign so he

00:50:54.860 doesn't have to

00:50:55.300 get impeached.

00:50:55.820 I do think it's

00:50:58.700 too close to

00:50:59.400 election for them

00:51:00.320 to change the

00:51:01.280 ticket.

00:51:02.240 If they did, it

00:51:03.260 would be an

00:51:03.640 amazing thing.

00:51:05.040 And I don't even

00:51:06.100 know if it's

00:51:06.480 possible.

00:51:07.200 I suppose I could

00:51:07.840 just say it

00:51:08.320 verbally and say,

00:51:09.660 hey, everybody,

00:51:10.340 you're really voting

00:51:11.000 for Kamala.

00:51:12.220 You know, just

00:51:12.520 treat it like she's 0.79

00:51:13.400 the candidate.

00:51:13.920 I suppose I could

00:51:14.580 just say that and

00:51:15.480 that would be good

00:51:16.280 enough.

00:51:17.040 People would get

00:51:17.600 the message.

00:51:18.820 But I don't think

00:51:20.060 they'll physically

00:51:20.780 change the tickets

00:51:21.960 too close to the

00:51:23.220 end.

00:51:25.820 But maybe, maybe

00:51:28.500 Biden wins and

00:51:30.260 they impeach him

00:51:30.880 on the first

00:51:31.720 day.

00:51:34.780 All right.

00:51:38.700 I'm looking at

00:51:39.960 one of my

00:51:40.620 critics.

00:51:41.700 Someone says,

00:51:42.920 Jesus, you 0.99

00:51:43.800 weren't right and

00:51:45.380 get over it for

00:51:47.200 frick's sake. 0.90

00:51:50.400 How can you say

00:51:51.580 I'm not right when

00:51:53.720 anybody voting for

00:51:54.760 Biden believes

00:51:56.020 they're voting for

00:51:56.700 Kamala?

00:51:57.680 Now, it's not

00:51:58.440 technically right.

00:52:00.720 But it's about as

00:52:01.640 right as you can be

00:52:02.620 while being

00:52:03.100 technically wrong.

00:52:04.420 I don't know how

00:52:04.960 you could be more

00:52:05.600 right, but still

00:52:06.820 technically wrong

00:52:07.680 than this example.

00:52:10.440 All right.

00:52:11.380 That's all for now.

00:52:12.600 I will talk to you.

00:52:15.340 Somebody says that

00:52:16.380 I believe in QAnon.

00:52:18.140 No, idiot.

00:52:19.400 I'm the opposite of

00:52:20.540 the person who

00:52:21.220 believes in QAnon.

00:52:22.300 You'd have to be

00:52:24.440 pretty ignorant to

00:52:25.420 think that about

00:52:26.480 me.

00:52:27.420 Bye for now.

00:52:31.200 All right.

00:52:32.600 That's it for now.

00:52:33.780 Now.

00:52:34.220 All right.

00:52:34.960 All right.

00:52:39.540 All right.

00:52:42.140 I will have to put one

00:52:43.540 now.

00:52:44.420 Here, let's go.

00:52:45.220 All right.
