Transcript

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in, gather around, it's time for Coffee with Scott Adams, the
00:00:15.240 best time ever.
00:00:18.100 Yeah, it's hard to imagine really a better way to spend the morning.
00:00:22.300 This is kind of as good as it gets.
00:00:25.580 Am I an hour early?
00:00:30.000 I am an hour early, delay savings time.
00:00:37.140 Well, interesting, because some of my clocks changed and some didn't, but guess what?
00:00:44.280 We're going to do this now, and it'll be here for the rest of you.
00:00:48.520 Those of you who are a little bit slow, you're going to get here.
00:00:52.900 But let me tell you, before I continue, I did know the time changed.
00:01:00.000 I did check the clocks, I did double check, and I triple checked to make sure I had the
00:01:08.140 right time.
00:01:09.460 And for reasons that are unclear to me, some of my digital clocks have not changed, but
00:01:15.680 some of them did.
00:01:16.300 Let me make sure that I'm not hallucinating.
00:01:19.480 Oh, damn it, they all changed.
00:01:25.620 Well, we're going to do this early.
00:01:28.700 Are you ready?
00:01:29.820 Yeah?
00:01:30.380 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or
00:01:34.980 a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:38.440 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:40.760 I like coffee.
00:01:41.440 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the day, the thing that
00:01:45.940 makes everything better.
00:01:48.140 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:50.660 And it happens now.
00:01:52.900 Go.
00:01:56.820 Oh, yeah.
00:01:58.200 It feels early, doesn't it?
00:02:01.320 Yeah.
00:02:01.680 It tastes a little bit early.
00:02:02.980 You can get that from the coffee.
00:02:07.920 All right.
00:02:08.540 Well, those of you lazy heads who are still in bed, I've been up since 3 a.m., as I often
00:02:13.860 am, because sleep is for the dead.
00:02:19.840 Every time I sleep, I say to myself, I don't like this sleep.
00:02:24.120 I don't like this at all.
00:02:25.680 So I like to pop out of bed as soon as I can.
00:02:28.600 Get on with the day.
00:02:30.120 And you should be like that, too.
00:02:32.980 And somebody says, you're robbing us of an hour.
00:02:35.960 It's not time.
00:02:39.820 I realize that I've done something terrible to many of you.
00:02:43.580 I've developed this habit of being here at a certain time because of the time change.
00:02:50.880 And by the way, I should tell you about this time change thing, because what you're seeing
00:02:56.140 is bigger than what it looks like.
00:02:59.460 What you think you just saw is that I just had a little brain fart and forgot it was the
00:03:07.600 time changed.
00:03:08.780 That's what you think, right?
00:03:11.100 But it's actually way bigger than that.
00:03:13.600 I recently had to just stop scheduling interviews because I couldn't show up on time.
00:03:22.180 And it wasn't that I would forget that I had something scheduled.
00:03:26.120 I have a very peculiar problem that I've literally never heard of anybody else have.
00:03:31.780 And it goes like this.
00:03:32.840 I have a calendar and time issue that's like a mental problem.
00:03:41.380 And I've always had it.
00:03:42.660 It's not related to smoking marijuana or anything like that.
00:03:45.920 It's a lifelong thing.
00:03:47.180 And it goes like this.
00:03:49.900 I can look at my calendar and somebody can say, we're going to meet at 8 p.m.
00:03:55.560 Put that on your calendar.
00:03:57.040 And I'll say, well, that's easy enough.
00:03:59.300 8 p.m.
00:04:00.740 On the 9th.
00:04:01.940 And I'll look at my calendar.
00:04:03.240 I'll go to the 9th.
00:04:04.780 I'll go to 8 p.m.
00:04:05.700 Make sure I got a p.m., not a.m.
00:04:08.160 Write it in there.
00:04:09.600 And then it's pretty easy, right?
00:04:11.040 Everybody in the world can do that.
00:04:12.880 You just write it down on your calendar exactly like it was given to you.
00:04:18.180 Except I can't.
00:04:20.520 About 4 out of 5 times I write it in the wrong place or the wrong time.
00:04:25.880 And so the way I had been correcting for that is whenever I was trying to schedule something,
00:04:32.000 I would send it to Christina, and she would schedule it on my calendar
00:04:35.720 because she's not defective in this way.
00:04:39.180 So this time change thing is part of that problem,
00:04:43.440 which is I can look at a calendar and see something that isn't there consistently.
00:04:49.980 It's not one of those things that happens once in a while.
00:04:53.000 It consistently, I can look at September 9th.
00:04:56.920 I can double-check it and triple-check it and go, okay, it's September.
00:05:00.960 It says the 9th.
00:05:02.320 That's the day I want.
00:05:04.200 And I'll turn away, and then I can turn back.
00:05:06.340 It'll be like October 6th or something, just a completely different day and time.
00:05:12.120 And this has happened all my life.
00:05:13.540 It's not some new thing.
00:05:15.840 And it seems limited to calendars and time.
00:05:20.620 I don't know what that's about.
00:05:22.020 Have you ever heard of that?
00:05:23.360 Has anybody ever heard of that?
00:05:25.220 Somebody says the same here.
00:05:27.440 If somebody else is having this problem, I'd love to hear about it.
00:05:31.560 Yeah, I am dyslexic, but I don't think that's exactly what's going on
00:05:36.420 because I actually hallucinate seeing different things.
00:05:40.140 So anyway, that's not why you signed up to watch this.
00:05:43.940 So there's a study out of Stanford University.
00:05:48.540 A bunch of economists.
00:05:50.160 I'm just guessing they might skew Democrat.
00:05:52.740 But a bunch of economists estimated that there have been at least 30,000 coronavirus infections
00:05:59.620 and 700 deaths as a result of Trump's 18 campaign rallies between June and September.
00:06:08.620 Do you believe that?
00:06:09.940 Do you believe that Trump killed 700 people by campaigning for president?
00:06:16.880 It's not impossible, is it?
00:06:19.920 I mean, it's not completely impossible.
00:06:21.540 But there's a little note on this article that you don't see in the headline
00:06:30.360 and you don't see it in the first description, so you might have missed it.
00:06:36.680 Here's the note you might have missed.
00:06:39.080 It hasn't been peer-reviewed.
00:06:42.880 Do you know how many peer-reviewed studies turn out later to be false?
00:06:50.380 About half.
00:06:51.540 About half.
00:06:53.120 So this has not reached the level of credibility of a peer review,
00:06:59.360 which is only right about half the time.
00:07:02.360 So it's below the credibility of something that's only right half the time.
00:07:06.680 Now, it does seem to be reasonable that if you have large gatherings, you would have more infections.
00:07:14.500 But 700 deaths?
00:07:17.500 It sounds a little political and maybe less scientific than it needs to be.
00:07:23.140 But I don't doubt that people died because of the activity.
00:07:28.300 But that's what everybody signed up for.
00:07:32.960 There's nobody who went to an outdoor rally with lots of people during a pandemic who said to themselves,
00:07:40.300 this is perfectly safe.
00:07:42.760 Nobody said that.
00:07:44.620 It's not like anybody was fooled by it.
00:07:46.920 Oh, it turns out, surprise, surprise, meeting in large groups during a pandemic spreads the disease.
00:07:53.640 They all knew that.
00:07:54.640 Everybody knew that.
00:07:55.560 And they made that choice.
00:07:57.300 They chose freedom in this particular context over risk.
00:08:03.980 Now, unfortunately, the nature of this virus is that when you take on risk, you're taking on risk for other people.
00:08:13.180 Which doesn't seem fair, right?
00:08:15.100 It's fair for you to take on a risk that's just for you.
00:08:19.160 But what happens when you take on risks for other people?
00:08:23.840 Is that what you signed up for?
00:08:25.860 Do you want a stranger deciding whether you live or die, or at least the odds of you living or dying?
00:08:31.480 Well, you don't want that, but it's not so very different than the rest of the world.
00:08:37.260 Meaning, if you get in your automobile and go somewhere, you're taking a risk for yourself, of course,
00:08:45.420 but you're taking a risk on behalf of all the other people driving, all the pedestrians, everybody else.
00:08:50.680 You are hoping that your activity does not kill anybody.
00:08:55.600 And there's lots of examples like that.
00:08:57.380 So, it's not that unusual that you take risks that are largely about yourself,
00:09:04.040 but they have some big impact on the rest of the world, too.
00:09:07.140 And I think you have to look at that not as a mistake, but as a choice.
00:09:13.880 Right?
00:09:14.760 The people who went to the Trump rallies,
00:09:17.880 there's no claim that there was something special about these rallies,
00:09:25.840 other than they were rallies, that there were a lot of people in one place.
00:09:30.480 So, I think these are people who said,
00:09:33.000 this is the risk and I choose to take it.
00:09:37.720 Is that the same as a mistake?
00:09:40.240 I don't think it is.
00:09:41.860 It's the opposite of a mistake.
00:09:43.900 It's what people chose.
00:09:45.200 It's a tragedy when anybody dies.
00:09:48.080 We're not going to, you know, gloss over that.
00:09:50.880 Death is death.
00:09:52.200 But these were choices, not mistakes.
00:09:55.320 And I think that's important.
00:09:57.560 All right.
00:09:59.500 Here's a funniest thing from this morning.
00:10:03.440 So, of course, I've tweeted that I think the polls are fake
00:10:07.120 and that the Iowa poll you saw went from Biden being up to Trump being up.
00:10:14.200 Oh, surprise, right before the election.
00:10:17.440 Oh, who saw this coming?
00:10:20.080 That right before the election, the polls would magically converge.
00:10:24.880 I did.
00:10:26.180 I've been saying it for a year,
00:10:27.900 that right before election day, the polls will magically converge.
00:10:32.120 And what will the pollsters be able to say?
00:10:35.860 Well, I guess Trump was campaigning pretty hard in those final days.
00:10:42.000 Really?
00:10:43.500 Really?
00:10:44.560 You think that's why the polls converge in the final days?
00:10:47.640 Because Trump is campaigning extra hard?
00:10:50.940 Now, I do think that campaigning makes a difference,
00:10:53.340 but it's not that.
00:10:54.840 It really isn't.
00:10:55.700 Because if he had campaigned just as hard in August,
00:11:01.240 do you think the polls would have closed?
00:11:03.780 No.
00:11:05.260 No, they would not have.
00:11:07.040 Now, what we assume about the polls,
00:11:10.380 there are a lot of people making assumptions.
00:11:13.300 Some of the smart people who were wrong in 2016,
00:11:16.900 and yet we still call them the smart people, I don't know why,
00:11:20.400 have said that, sure, sure, sure, they got it wrong in 2016,
00:11:23.900 but, you know, Scott, Scott, Scott,
00:11:28.120 they've learned from their mistakes.
00:11:30.860 They've made adjustments.
00:11:32.040 They know what they got wrong,
00:11:33.620 and it's been four years,
00:11:35.320 so they had plenty of time to adjust.
00:11:37.620 They're not going to make the same mistake again, Scott.
00:11:41.700 Well, what's wrong with that analysis?
00:11:44.600 What's wrong with the analysis
00:11:46.300 that says the pollsters learned from their mistakes,
00:11:50.760 and now they've corrected?
00:11:52.240 What's wrong with that?
00:11:53.900 It assumes they want it to correct, right?
00:11:57.680 And that's the assumption that we don't make,
00:12:00.480 because if they were wrong in 2016,
00:12:03.260 I don't think it's because they sampled wrong, necessarily.
00:12:08.520 I feel as though, because, you know, in 2016,
00:12:11.400 they were also, it was all Hillary's going to win
00:12:14.040 until the last days,
00:12:15.860 and then magically, magically, the polls converged.
00:12:19.180 It seems far more likely,
00:12:21.960 in my skeptical opinion,
00:12:25.320 it seems far more likely
00:12:26.980 that what happened was
00:12:29.240 that the pollsters wanted to show that,
00:12:33.600 when Hillary was running,
00:12:35.460 wanted to show that Clinton was way ahead,
00:12:37.280 because that helps fundraising, right?
00:12:40.700 If you have lots of fundraising,
00:12:43.380 or if you're trying to raise funds,
00:12:45.540 you want the people you're asking money of
00:12:48.340 to think it's money well spent.
00:12:51.340 Hey, this candidate can win.
00:12:52.820 So, I think the fake polls are all about
00:12:56.300 generating funds for the candidate.
00:13:01.840 And, of course, if you generate lots of funds
00:13:04.100 for the candidate,
00:13:05.060 where do those funds go?
00:13:07.360 Do they spend them?
00:13:09.040 Well, a lot of it is for travel-related stuff.
00:13:12.260 It takes a lot to move around.
00:13:14.320 But a lot of it is advertising.
00:13:15.760 So, it goes to the very media entities
00:13:18.780 that are doing the fake polls.
00:13:22.120 Do you see that?
00:13:24.160 The entities that survive on advertising dollars
00:13:28.980 would like more advertising dollars to be spent.
00:13:33.320 And what is the best way
00:13:34.420 to get more advertising dollars spent?
00:13:37.360 Well, do a fake poll.
00:13:39.460 Put your media's name on it.
00:13:43.180 So, it says New York Times plus something
00:13:46.000 or NBC plus something,
00:13:48.380 CNN plus something.
00:13:49.800 You know, they often pair up.
00:13:51.500 But you pair up
00:13:52.540 and put your credibility on it.
00:13:55.560 And then it says,
00:13:57.100 hey, Biden's looking good.
00:13:59.400 And then suddenly,
00:14:00.460 what happened to Biden's fundraising
00:14:02.400 when he looked like he was going to win?
00:14:05.580 Did you see?
00:14:06.440 He set records for fundraising
00:14:09.500 when his poll numbers looked good.
00:14:11.480 Where did that money go?
00:14:13.740 It went to the people who did the polls
00:14:15.940 in many cases.
00:14:18.220 And not all cases.
00:14:19.320 But in many cases,
00:14:20.640 the media companies,
00:14:21.700 the news business,
00:14:23.320 paired with a polling company.
00:14:25.140 So, it's kind of like
00:14:27.220 they made money for themselves
00:14:29.100 by giving you a poll result
00:14:31.420 that guaranteed the most fundraising,
00:14:34.360 which guarantees the most advertising spend
00:14:37.100 on those same outlets.
00:14:39.420 Do you see it now?
00:14:40.560 So, everybody who said,
00:14:43.440 I think they made a mistake in 2016,
00:14:46.140 but surely they have corrected their mistake,
00:14:48.720 is missing the most important part of the equation.
00:14:51.840 They don't want to correct that mistake.
00:14:54.320 It's not a mistake.
00:14:56.380 It's not a mistake.
00:14:58.300 It's a strategy.
00:14:59.520 And it's a good one.
00:15:00.380 And it works really well.
00:15:01.760 But the last part of the strategy is,
00:15:03.780 in order to keep their credibility for next time,
00:15:06.680 so that they can just do the same trick again,
00:15:08.700 they have to look for something in the news
00:15:11.340 and say,
00:15:12.420 oh, that thing in the news,
00:15:15.040 that's why the polls went from way apart
00:15:18.160 to suddenly they're very close at the end.
00:15:21.320 It's because the thing in the news.
00:15:24.120 2016, what was the thing in the news?
00:15:27.280 Comey doing his announcement about Hillary's emails.
00:15:30.340 In my opinion, that changed zero votes.
00:15:36.020 And yet, history records,
00:15:38.400 because the media gets to write history, right,
00:15:40.840 records that that changed the election.
00:15:43.380 Do you believe that?
00:15:44.880 It's been four years.
00:15:46.780 In four years, how many people have you met
00:15:49.240 who said to themselves,
00:15:51.180 you know, I was going to vote for Hillary Clinton,
00:15:53.800 but then Comey did that announcement
00:15:56.440 about the emails and changed my vote.
00:16:00.760 Have you met even one person who said that?
00:16:04.180 In four years?
00:16:05.480 Any of you?
00:16:06.920 You know, it would be not a big deal
00:16:08.380 if any one of us had never met somebody
00:16:11.580 who changed their vote because of that.
00:16:13.800 But look in the comments.
00:16:15.580 See if you can find anybody
00:16:17.260 in the thousands and thousands of people
00:16:19.320 in the comments
00:16:20.460 who have spent four years
00:16:23.240 probably interacting at least a little bit
00:16:25.580 with people who voted both ways.
00:16:28.900 Tell me one person
00:16:30.260 who said on that day that Comey came out,
00:16:33.660 well, I'm changing my vote because of this.
00:16:36.560 And yet we have been told to accept that
00:16:38.620 as the official explanation.
00:16:40.840 It's ridiculous, of course.
00:16:42.800 Nobody changed their vote because of that.
00:16:45.000 Not a single person.
00:16:46.140 And this time they're going to have to look
00:16:49.760 for something in the news,
00:16:51.160 something that's happening this week,
00:16:53.300 to say, oh, that's why it narrowed.
00:16:56.680 What do you think they're going to say?
00:16:59.520 Well, Trump has handed it to them.
00:17:01.940 What they're going to say is that
00:17:03.180 Trump did a lot more campaigning.
00:17:06.120 And they might even say that the,
00:17:08.580 what the media will call an illegitimate story,
00:17:12.660 which is the Biden,
00:17:14.080 and the Hunter Biden laptop stuff,
00:17:16.720 and whatever connections they have
00:17:18.340 with China and Ukraine.
00:17:21.140 And the media is going to say
00:17:22.480 those are the things.
00:17:23.840 Well, yeah, Trump did campaign more,
00:17:26.340 but also there was that dirty trick he did
00:17:29.020 by trying to tie Hunter to his father
00:17:32.040 as if they were connected.
00:17:34.320 They're connected.
00:17:36.320 And that'll be the official story.
00:17:38.960 And the public will,
00:17:40.240 at least half of the public,
00:17:41.620 will believe that's what happened.
00:17:44.120 They'll think the polls were correct.
00:17:46.860 Something happened that was a dirty trick.
00:17:49.540 Darn that Trump with his dirty tricks
00:17:51.800 and Hunter's laptop.
00:17:53.380 It changed the vote at the last minute,
00:17:55.640 plus his extra effort did make a difference.
00:17:59.220 And I guess it's because he didn't care
00:18:01.400 that people got killed.
00:18:03.560 Poor Joe Biden.
00:18:04.520 Again, he could never match what Trump was doing
00:18:07.540 because unlike Trump,
00:18:10.060 the uncaring monster that he is,
00:18:13.240 Joe Biden cares.
00:18:14.880 And he cares so much
00:18:15.980 that he's not going to campaign very hard
00:18:17.700 because if he did,
00:18:18.680 people might get infected.
00:18:20.500 So he cares.
00:18:22.220 He doesn't want to infect you.
00:18:23.680 So what could he do?
00:18:24.700 He couldn't match what Trump was doing
00:18:27.100 because he's not a monster.
00:18:28.840 He's not a monster.
00:18:30.460 What choice did he have?
00:18:32.140 Because Democrats love people.
00:18:34.300 They don't want to kill people.
00:18:36.160 They love you.
00:18:37.520 Not like these monsters
00:18:38.960 wearing their red hats
00:18:40.820 and driving their pickup trucks
00:18:42.300 all over Texas.
00:18:43.600 Not like them at all.
00:18:45.900 So that's the story you're going to get.
00:18:48.080 But here's the punchline of it all.
00:18:51.140 And if this doesn't make you laugh,
00:18:53.520 you're dead inside.
00:18:55.120 All right?
00:18:55.740 If you don't think this next part is funny,
00:18:58.320 you're in the wrong place.
00:19:02.700 You're watching the wrong Periscope.
00:19:05.480 So many of you know Jimmy Wales.
00:19:08.420 Jimmy Wales is one of the founders
00:19:10.440 or the founder,
00:19:11.820 I don't know how many there were,
00:19:13.380 of Wikipedia.
00:19:16.020 Now, I've communicated with Jimmy a few times
00:19:19.000 on various Wikipedia-related things
00:19:21.640 such as correcting the fine people hoax.
00:19:24.620 By the way, Wikipedia,
00:19:27.200 you know, there was a big battle
00:19:29.640 with the Trump supporters
00:19:31.980 and the Democrats
00:19:33.800 to get the Wikipedia page
00:19:35.840 on the fine people hoax
00:19:37.000 to correctly say that it's a hoax.
00:19:40.000 And for a while,
00:19:41.100 it looked like we were winning
00:19:43.120 to get the actual accurate story on there.
00:19:46.540 But I checked out it a little while ago,
00:19:48.380 and I think what they did was
00:19:49.660 they wrote it so confusingly
00:19:52.760 that you can't kind of tell what's going on.
00:19:55.120 So you're not really sure.
00:19:57.660 Did they call it out as a hoax?
00:19:59.580 Was it a hoax or not a hoax?
00:20:01.580 So the final refuge
00:20:04.180 of the people who are essentially
00:20:07.660 called out for spreading
00:20:09.780 the fine people hoax,
00:20:11.320 their last play,
00:20:12.680 and you saw this with,
00:20:14.160 was it PolitiFact,
00:20:15.720 the fact-checking group,
00:20:17.340 instead of just fact-checking it
00:20:18.940 as a hoax,
00:20:20.620 which it is and it's obvious
00:20:22.060 and you just have to read the transcript,
00:20:23.880 it's obviously a hoax,
00:20:25.380 instead of fact-checking it
00:20:26.720 like they fact-check everything else,
00:20:29.300 they just decided to
00:20:30.780 show you something long and confusing
00:20:32.780 so that they didn't have to fact-check it.
00:20:36.000 I mean, it's outrageously bold
00:20:38.680 what they do.
00:20:39.780 So Wikipedia is now
00:20:40.960 just a confusing page on that.
00:20:42.700 So you can't really tell
00:20:44.320 was it a hoax or not a hoax.
00:20:45.700 Anyway, but Jimmy himself,
00:20:51.000 I've communicated a few times
00:20:52.720 on Twitter,
00:20:55.100 and he's a nice guy
00:20:57.980 and I like him,
00:21:00.100 but he's very anti-Trump.
00:21:04.060 So I'm very pro-Jimmy Wales
00:21:06.520 and pro-Wikipedia,
00:21:08.000 even if you're not.
00:21:09.020 I know some of you are going to be like,
00:21:10.340 Wikipedia,
00:21:11.780 all that news is left-leaning fakeness,
00:21:14.940 but I think Wikipedia is actually
00:21:16.340 a national treasure.
00:21:20.660 You know, even with its flaws,
00:21:23.240 everything is flawed,
00:21:24.320 but even with its flaws,
00:21:25.460 I think Wikipedia is a national treasure.
00:21:28.120 And I like Jimmy Wales.
00:21:31.020 But this story is funny.
00:21:34.080 Okay.
00:21:35.020 So Jimmy sees one of my tweets
00:21:36.720 about the polls being fake
00:21:39.900 and Trump going to win,
00:21:41.800 and he said that,
00:21:48.960 oh, where's his exact tweet?
00:21:51.200 So he tweeted back at me,
00:21:52.500 I'll give you his exact tweet,
00:21:53.720 because he said,
00:21:55.840 or,
00:21:56.560 so he's saying,
00:21:57.740 instead of my view
00:21:58.800 that the polls are fake,
00:22:00.440 he goes,
00:22:01.200 or,
00:22:01.840 what if,
00:22:02.840 as seems infinitely
00:22:03.980 more likely and plausible,
00:22:06.700 all right,
00:22:06.860 now Jimmy is going to tell us
00:22:08.460 what is infinitely
00:22:10.200 more likely and plausible
00:22:11.960 than my hypothesis
00:22:13.940 that the polls are fake
00:22:15.560 because people are lying
00:22:16.720 to the pollsters.
00:22:18.280 He goes,
00:22:20.180 isn't it infinitely
00:22:21.360 more likely and plausible
00:22:22.560 the polls are not fake
00:22:24.060 and Trump is about to lose?
00:22:27.700 Given that you have
00:22:28.840 zero evidence of fakery,
00:22:30.620 he says to me.
00:22:32.380 Now,
00:22:33.540 do I have
00:22:34.760 zero evidence
00:22:36.140 of fakery?
00:22:38.260 So,
00:22:38.980 here's the funny part.
00:22:40.560 So I pinned it
00:22:41.760 to my Twitter feed
00:22:42.720 with a retweet
00:22:44.280 in which I asked
00:22:45.760 my followers
00:22:46.460 to write into
00:22:48.520 the comments
00:22:49.160 whether or not
00:22:50.000 they personally
00:22:50.800 have lied to pollsters.
00:22:53.160 How do you think
00:22:53.680 that went?
00:22:55.860 So,
00:22:56.720 for your
00:22:57.500 entertainment pleasure,
00:22:59.520 you know,
00:22:59.820 after this Periscope,
00:23:00.880 check out my pinned tweet
00:23:02.700 to Jimmy Wales
00:23:04.300 in which he says
00:23:05.900 there's no evidence
00:23:06.960 that people are lying
00:23:08.300 to pollsters
00:23:08.920 and then read the comments
00:23:10.600 of just person
00:23:11.840 after person
00:23:12.540 who has lied
00:23:13.160 to pollsters.
00:23:15.140 And,
00:23:15.940 now,
00:23:17.020 I will grant you,
00:23:18.600 I will grant you
00:23:19.520 that my,
00:23:20.460 you know,
00:23:21.100 comments within a tweet
00:23:22.400 are certainly not
00:23:23.580 a statistical
00:23:24.680 fact of any kind.
00:23:27.460 I will grant you
00:23:28.340 that the people
00:23:28.900 who follow me
00:23:29.500 on Twitter
00:23:29.840 are far more likely
00:23:30.940 to answer that way.
00:23:32.720 I'll grant you
00:23:33.560 all of that.
00:23:34.720 But,
00:23:35.500 the funny part
00:23:36.780 is that
00:23:37.400 in Jimmy's world
00:23:38.500 and his bubble,
00:23:40.280 and we're all in bubbles,
00:23:41.300 right?
00:23:41.520 He's not the only person
00:23:42.460 in a bubble.
00:23:43.360 But,
00:23:43.660 in his bubble,
00:23:45.120 there is no evidence
00:23:46.340 for this.
00:23:48.800 There's no evidence
00:23:49.920 that people
00:23:50.480 are lying to pollsters.
00:23:51.640 and I'm going to tell you,
00:23:54.860 nobody knows for sure
00:23:56.660 how this election goes.
00:23:58.580 Could I be wrong?
00:23:59.720 Sure.
00:24:00.700 Sure,
00:24:01.060 I can be wrong.
00:24:02.100 I think Trump
00:24:02.800 has it locked down now.
00:24:04.260 But I can be wrong.
00:24:05.900 We could all be wrong.
00:24:07.980 But I'll tell you
00:24:08.860 one thing I'm sure of.
00:24:11.020 There's plenty of evidence
00:24:12.280 that people have lied
00:24:13.860 to pollsters.
00:24:15.100 Don't know how many,
00:24:16.240 but there's plenty
00:24:17.100 of evidence.
00:24:18.700 And certainly,
00:24:19.540 anecdotally,
00:24:20.880 just if you're looking
00:24:21.640 at the crowd sizes
00:24:22.880 and everything else,
00:24:24.540 it would seem that way.
00:24:26.020 All right.
00:24:28.380 Are you ready for the,
00:24:30.000 well,
00:24:30.260 I'm going to give you
00:24:30.700 the good news first.
00:24:32.340 So,
00:24:32.720 you saw the Arizona poll numbers
00:24:34.520 where Trump
00:24:35.300 just flipped it.
00:24:37.160 Trump just went from
00:24:38.240 way down to way up
00:24:39.400 in Arizona.
00:24:40.800 Now,
00:24:41.140 do you think that's because
00:24:42.480 people change their minds?
00:24:45.780 No.
00:24:46.300 It's not because
00:24:47.820 anybody changed
00:24:48.700 their minds
00:24:49.640 in the last week
00:24:51.380 in Arizona.
00:24:52.680 That didn't happen.
00:24:54.580 People either started
00:24:55.620 answering the polls
00:24:56.640 accurately,
00:24:57.900 which would be
00:24:58.720 hilarious in itself.
00:25:00.420 Imagine if the only time
00:25:01.800 you answered the poll
00:25:02.720 accurately was
00:25:03.640 a couple of days
00:25:05.100 before the vote,
00:25:06.320 the election.
00:25:07.160 That would be
00:25:07.960 almost as good
00:25:09.160 as waiting,
00:25:11.020 you know,
00:25:11.780 as the Democrats
00:25:12.940 finding out
00:25:13.660 after election day
00:25:14.720 that people had lied.
00:25:16.300 But doing it
00:25:17.140 like the day
00:25:17.680 before the vote
00:25:18.500 to make them
00:25:19.160 extra scared,
00:25:20.640 it's like,
00:25:21.020 yeah,
00:25:21.460 actually,
00:25:22.120 I am going to vote
00:25:23.020 for Trump.
00:25:23.980 So,
00:25:24.400 I don't know
00:25:24.700 if anybody did that.
00:25:26.060 I'm just saying
00:25:26.660 it would be funny
00:25:27.420 if people had decided
00:25:28.440 to answer honestly
00:25:29.520 only once
00:25:30.800 and only the week
00:25:32.160 before the actual election.
00:25:35.260 I have no evidence
00:25:36.880 that that happened
00:25:37.720 to Jimmy's point.
00:25:40.120 But it would be funny
00:25:40.860 if it did.
00:25:41.780 So,
00:25:42.220 you've got that going well.
00:25:43.300 You've got these
00:25:43.820 gigantic crowds.
00:25:46.040 Did you see
00:25:46.460 the crowd
00:25:47.180 in Pennsylvania
00:25:48.060 for Trump?
00:25:49.940 It was crazy.
00:25:51.780 It was crazy.
00:25:53.020 But here's the most
00:25:53.820 fun part.
00:25:56.200 Biden took his
00:25:57.240 little douchebag
00:25:58.100 bus
00:25:58.540 to Texas.
00:26:01.400 How do you think
00:26:02.280 Biden's little douchebag
00:26:03.660 tour bus
00:26:04.880 did in Texas?
00:26:06.700 Well,
00:26:07.340 it turns out
00:26:07.880 that it was surrounded
00:26:08.660 by pickup trucks
00:26:09.660 with American flags
00:26:11.620 and ran them
00:26:13.360 out of Texas.
00:26:16.120 Now,
00:26:16.760 I'm laughing about it
00:26:17.980 while not encouraging
00:26:19.660 this behavior.
00:26:21.180 I do not encourage
00:26:22.300 anybody to run
00:26:23.220 anybody out of
00:26:24.080 any state,
00:26:25.080 much less a
00:26:26.120 presidential candidate
00:26:27.440 out of Texas.
00:26:29.520 But I can't say
00:26:30.680 it's not funny.
00:26:32.860 And by the way,
00:26:34.140 I believe
00:26:34.680 the Biden campaign
00:26:35.940 is exaggerating
00:26:37.280 how much pressure
00:26:39.040 these trucks
00:26:40.400 that were following
00:26:41.120 the bus
00:26:41.820 through Texas,
00:26:43.160 I think they're
00:26:43.800 exaggerating
00:26:44.340 how much danger
00:26:45.100 that was.
00:26:46.900 I think they're
00:26:47.720 trying to say
00:26:48.400 that they tried
00:26:48.940 to crowd them
00:26:49.740 off the road
00:26:50.380 or something like that.
00:26:51.220 I don't believe
00:26:51.640 any of that stuff.
00:26:52.960 But
00:26:53.200 they did
00:26:54.500 turn
00:26:55.780 the little
00:26:56.760 douchebag
00:26:57.680 Biden bus
00:26:58.420 into a
00:26:59.540 Trump rally
00:27:00.260 because
00:27:01.160 there are little
00:27:02.180 buses in the middle
00:27:03.100 but it's surrounded
00:27:04.120 by this sea
00:27:05.200 of Trump
00:27:06.300 supporting
00:27:06.940 trucks with flags.
00:27:09.160 And it was
00:27:09.420 such a perfect
00:27:10.320 sort of
00:27:11.500 Texas thing
00:27:12.860 that they
00:27:13.800 literally
00:27:14.780 instead of
00:27:16.420 getting on
00:27:16.760 horses
00:27:17.220 and running
00:27:20.220 after the
00:27:21.440 bad guys,
00:27:23.080 it was like
00:27:23.380 they just got
00:27:23.920 in their pickup
00:27:24.500 trucks
00:27:24.960 and sort of
00:27:25.920 surrounded the
00:27:26.580 candidate
00:27:26.920 and gently
00:27:28.160 guided him
00:27:28.820 out of their
00:27:29.220 state.
00:27:31.520 So that was
00:27:32.160 funny.
00:27:33.100 All right,
00:27:33.500 here's the
00:27:34.000 scariest thing
00:27:34.900 you're going
00:27:35.940 to hear today.
00:27:38.160 I'm trying
00:27:38.860 to decide
00:27:39.380 if I'm going
00:27:39.860 to make
00:27:40.080 this an
00:27:40.480 actual
00:27:41.180 prediction
00:27:42.580 because I
00:27:43.380 feel like
00:27:43.960 I could
00:27:44.420 predict it
00:27:45.100 but I don't
00:27:46.100 want it
00:27:46.520 to happen.
00:27:47.820 And I
00:27:48.080 don't like
00:27:48.620 to predict
00:27:49.100 things that
00:27:49.880 I don't
00:27:50.300 want to
00:27:50.740 happen
00:27:51.020 because I
00:27:51.400 feel like
00:27:51.900 you can
00:27:52.980 sort of
00:27:53.660 help cause
00:27:54.520 them to
00:27:54.720 happen
00:27:54.960 by predicting
00:27:55.660 it.
00:27:57.660 But I
00:27:58.280 think there's
00:27:58.640 a really
00:27:58.920 high chance
00:27:59.820 that the
00:28:00.360 following will
00:28:00.880 happen.
00:28:01.680 And it
00:28:01.900 goes like
00:28:02.340 this.
00:28:03.100 You have
00:28:03.720 noticed that
00:28:04.520 the corporate
00:28:05.020 media can
00:28:05.800 make entire
00:28:06.820 national stories
00:28:08.100 disappear.
00:28:09.780 Have you
00:28:10.180 not watched
00:28:11.000 this?
00:28:11.720 You watch
00:28:12.220 them make
00:28:12.760 the fine
00:28:13.420 people hoax
00:28:14.120 a national
00:28:14.740 story that
00:28:16.060 didn't even
00:28:16.500 happen.
00:28:17.420 And you've
00:28:17.920 watched them
00:28:18.320 make lots
00:28:18.960 of hoax
00:28:19.560 related stories
00:28:20.500 about the
00:28:21.600 president
00:28:21.960 recommending
00:28:22.660 drinking bleach.
00:28:24.000 You know,
00:28:24.240 just crazy
00:28:25.000 stories that
00:28:26.180 you know they
00:28:26.560 just made
00:28:27.040 up and half
00:28:27.800 the country
00:28:28.580 believed.
00:28:29.020 But more
00:28:30.220 scary than
00:28:30.940 that is
00:28:32.280 that they
00:28:32.660 can make
00:28:33.640 up just
00:28:34.580 a story
00:28:34.980 on a
00:28:35.300 nothing,
00:28:36.340 such as
00:28:36.960 the Russia
00:28:37.460 collusion
00:28:38.080 hoax.
00:28:38.980 It was
00:28:39.400 made up
00:28:39.780 on a
00:28:40.040 nothing,
00:28:40.800 and half
00:28:41.340 of the
00:28:41.580 country
00:28:41.860 still believes
00:28:42.620 that Trump
00:28:44.440 did collude
00:28:45.940 with Russia,
00:28:47.180 which has
00:28:47.700 been shown
00:28:48.140 to have no
00:28:48.800 evidence
00:28:49.200 whatsoever.
00:28:50.360 So we
00:28:51.780 know that
00:28:52.260 the media
00:28:52.740 can just
00:28:53.720 change reality
00:28:55.240 for half
00:28:55.820 of the
00:28:56.060 country.
00:28:57.380 What happens
00:28:58.280 if the
00:28:59.360 media just
00:29:00.080 decides to
00:29:01.980 say Biden
00:29:02.900 won the
00:29:03.420 election when
00:29:05.020 he didn't?
00:29:07.460 Now the
00:29:08.060 first thing
00:29:08.480 you're going
00:29:08.740 to say to
00:29:09.080 me,
00:29:09.720 because this
00:29:10.200 would be
00:29:10.440 your first
00:29:10.820 reaction,
00:29:11.300 is,
00:29:11.900 well,
00:29:12.120 Scott,
00:29:12.660 there's a
00:29:13.320 vote.
00:29:15.620 We're going
00:29:16.200 to have a
00:29:16.640 vote count,
00:29:17.520 no matter how
00:29:18.460 long it takes,
00:29:19.140 we're going
00:29:19.460 to have a
00:29:19.880 final vote,
00:29:21.160 and one of
00:29:21.980 them is going
00:29:22.440 to have more
00:29:22.940 votes,
00:29:23.980 according to
00:29:24.860 the Electoral
00:29:25.380 College,
00:29:26.300 so this
00:29:27.720 isn't the
00:29:28.200 sort of
00:29:28.500 thing that
00:29:28.900 the media
00:29:29.500 could just
00:29:30.040 make disappear.
00:29:32.400 You can't
00:29:33.120 make an
00:29:33.400 election disappear,
00:29:34.760 right?
00:29:35.960 It's just
00:29:36.540 too big,
00:29:37.440 too much
00:29:38.420 objective
00:29:39.080 data,
00:29:39.880 everybody in
00:29:40.420 the world
00:29:40.720 is watching.
00:29:41.880 So under
00:29:42.280 those conditions,
00:29:43.840 the mainstream
00:29:45.060 media can't
00:29:45.760 just make up
00:29:46.420 a reality
00:29:46.980 and sell it
00:29:47.600 to you,
00:29:48.000 can they?
00:29:49.080 And the
00:29:49.560 answer is,
00:29:50.180 yes,
00:29:50.700 they can.
00:29:52.060 The media
00:29:52.680 has the
00:29:53.420 power,
00:29:54.480 as of
00:29:55.000 today,
00:29:55.980 to do
00:29:56.420 the following.
00:29:58.000 Trump
00:29:58.440 wins the
00:29:59.000 election,
00:30:00.020 and the
00:30:00.660 media can
00:30:01.420 say that
00:30:01.900 Biden won
00:30:02.740 and sell
00:30:04.020 it.
00:30:06.100 They can
00:30:06.920 do that.
00:30:08.020 They do
00:30:08.720 have the
00:30:09.200 power,
00:30:09.880 and they've
00:30:10.440 proved it
00:30:11.120 by testing
00:30:12.540 small.
00:30:13.820 They can
00:30:14.460 make you
00:30:14.840 believe the
00:30:15.660 Covington
00:30:16.980 kids were
00:30:17.500 bad for a
00:30:18.300 week.
00:30:18.680 They can
00:30:18.960 make you
00:30:19.300 believe any
00:30:20.240 hoax.
00:30:21.360 They can
00:30:21.760 make you
00:30:22.120 believe that
00:30:22.780 things happened
00:30:23.600 and half
00:30:25.700 of the
00:30:25.900 country
00:30:26.180 believes it.
00:30:27.600 So,
00:30:28.000 now you
00:30:28.360 say to
00:30:28.600 yourself,
00:30:29.020 but still,
00:30:29.520 Scott,
00:30:29.820 it's going
00:30:30.220 to be
00:30:30.480 objectively
00:30:31.280 true that
00:30:33.180 somebody won
00:30:33.780 or somebody
00:30:34.200 didn't.
00:30:35.160 The Supreme
00:30:35.780 Court is
00:30:36.360 going to
00:30:36.820 rule,
00:30:37.520 maybe,
00:30:38.020 they might
00:30:38.540 get involved,
00:30:39.500 and then
00:30:39.940 there'll be
00:30:40.240 a ruling,
00:30:41.300 and that's
00:30:41.820 going to
00:30:42.000 be black
00:30:43.460 and white.
00:30:44.940 This is
00:30:45.600 one case,
00:30:46.480 Scott,
00:30:46.980 Scott,
00:30:47.420 Scott,
00:30:48.080 where you're
00:30:48.760 not going
00:30:49.040 to have
00:30:49.200 these two
00:30:49.660 movies on
00:30:50.220 one screen.
00:30:50.860 you're
00:30:51.640 going to
00:30:51.780 have one
00:30:52.280 president
00:30:52.720 when it's
00:30:53.180 done,
00:30:54.060 everybody
00:30:54.440 will see
00:30:55.000 all the
00:30:56.180 data,
00:30:56.760 we'll all
00:30:57.120 have the
00:30:57.440 same
00:30:57.640 information,
00:30:59.080 that's when
00:30:59.840 reality will
00:31:00.720 converge into
00:31:01.480 one thing
00:31:02.120 we all
00:31:02.620 see.
00:31:04.880 Maybe.
00:31:06.480 That's one
00:31:07.240 way it
00:31:07.600 could go,
00:31:08.880 and certainly
00:31:09.480 I hope it
00:31:09.940 goes that
00:31:10.300 way.
00:31:11.120 But let me
00:31:11.680 suggest the
00:31:12.620 following.
00:31:13.740 We know
00:31:14.520 that this
00:31:14.960 vote is
00:31:15.780 going to
00:31:16.180 be contentious
00:31:18.020 and contended,
00:31:19.780 meaning that
00:31:20.840 no matter
00:31:21.260 who wins,
00:31:23.100 see if you
00:31:23.620 would agree
00:31:23.980 with this,
00:31:24.480 no matter
00:31:24.820 who wins,
00:31:25.920 the other
00:31:26.340 side is
00:31:26.760 going to
00:31:26.980 say it
00:31:27.300 was rigged.
00:31:28.840 Right?
00:31:29.840 Is there
00:31:30.340 any chance
00:31:30.940 that's not
00:31:31.560 going to
00:31:31.820 happen?
00:31:32.700 Do you
00:31:33.040 see any
00:31:33.680 possibility,
00:31:34.500 no matter
00:31:34.820 who wins,
00:31:36.100 do you
00:31:36.440 see any
00:31:37.080 possibility
00:31:37.640 that the
00:31:38.260 other team
00:31:38.840 won't have
00:31:39.360 an argument,
00:31:40.740 might be a
00:31:41.240 good argument,
00:31:42.160 might be a
00:31:42.680 bad argument,
00:31:43.440 you might
00:31:43.780 agree with
00:31:44.380 it,
00:31:44.560 you might
00:31:44.820 not,
00:31:45.480 but there
00:31:45.920 will be
00:31:46.300 an argument
00:31:46.820 that the
00:31:48.000 other side
00:31:48.480 actually won.
00:31:50.060 We've never
00:31:50.780 quite had
00:31:51.480 that before,
00:31:52.800 except in
00:31:53.460 the Gore
00:31:54.740 versus Bush
00:31:55.440 days,
00:31:56.260 when we
00:31:56.920 were a
00:31:57.260 little less
00:31:57.620 divided and
00:31:58.340 the Supreme
00:31:58.820 Court could
00:31:59.300 just settle
00:31:59.760 it and we
00:32:00.280 would go
00:32:00.600 on with
00:32:00.980 life.
00:32:01.480 We're not
00:32:01.980 in that
00:32:02.300 place anymore.
00:32:04.280 It is
00:32:05.040 entirely
00:32:05.580 possible,
00:32:07.480 and at
00:32:08.060 the moment
00:32:08.500 slightly more
00:32:09.640 likely than
00:32:10.360 the other
00:32:10.800 alternatives,
00:32:11.680 that the
00:32:12.000 following will
00:32:12.640 happen.
00:32:14.020 Trump will
00:32:14.780 win according
00:32:16.200 to the things
00:32:16.860 we can
00:32:17.400 count.
00:32:17.900 the Democrats
00:32:19.280 will claim
00:32:20.240 that Biden
00:32:21.500 actually won
00:32:22.660 because of
00:32:23.660 this or that
00:32:24.340 irregularity or
00:32:25.560 something,
00:32:26.440 got counted
00:32:27.060 wrong or
00:32:27.720 there was
00:32:28.140 voter suppression
00:32:29.120 or the
00:32:30.400 wrong ballots
00:32:31.320 got not
00:32:32.860 counted in the
00:32:33.620 wrong state
00:32:34.200 or something.
00:32:35.220 So we're
00:32:35.820 going to have
00:32:36.460 two completely
00:32:39.220 different election
00:32:40.800 outcomes reported
00:32:42.240 by the two
00:32:43.500 different medias.
00:32:44.320 I feel like
00:32:46.100 that's going
00:32:46.520 to happen
00:32:46.980 more likely
00:32:48.460 than not.
00:32:49.160 Now the
00:32:49.380 alternative is
00:32:50.240 a landslide
00:32:52.000 by one or
00:32:52.820 the other
00:32:53.200 candidates.
00:32:54.700 I think
00:32:55.540 there's more
00:32:56.000 chance of a
00:32:56.680 Trump landslide,
00:32:58.420 but if you
00:33:00.140 had to go
00:33:00.640 with the odds,
00:33:01.320 you'd say it's
00:33:01.740 going to be
00:33:02.100 close no matter
00:33:02.860 what it is,
00:33:03.760 and votes
00:33:04.620 will be trickling
00:33:05.420 in that could
00:33:06.060 change the
00:33:06.620 outcome for
00:33:08.080 weeks.
00:33:08.660 I mean,
00:33:08.880 that's possible.
00:33:09.520 what happens
00:33:13.260 to the
00:33:14.200 United States
00:33:15.080 if the
00:33:16.340 media
00:33:16.800 presents us
00:33:17.820 with two
00:33:18.300 movies and
00:33:19.320 they won't
00:33:19.760 back off?
00:33:21.400 Could
00:33:22.100 Biden's
00:33:22.820 people actually
00:33:23.740 move into
00:33:24.460 the White
00:33:24.900 House having
00:33:26.300 lost the
00:33:27.040 election in
00:33:28.500 terms of
00:33:29.000 number of
00:33:29.480 votes,
00:33:30.300 according to
00:33:31.080 the Electoral
00:33:31.580 College?
00:33:32.820 Could Biden
00:33:33.660 and his
00:33:34.540 people actually
00:33:35.960 just pretend
00:33:37.180 they won
00:33:37.860 and have
00:33:39.380 half of
00:33:39.800 the country
00:33:40.260 so sure
00:33:41.000 it was
00:33:41.340 true that
00:33:42.760 they acted
00:33:43.460 as if
00:33:43.980 Biden won?
00:33:45.940 Yup.
00:33:47.780 Completely
00:33:48.340 feasible.
00:33:50.120 Now,
00:33:50.620 what happens
00:33:51.100 if Biden's
00:33:51.800 people show
00:33:52.560 up with
00:33:52.960 the moving
00:33:53.480 trucks and
00:33:54.760 they pull
00:33:55.100 up to the
00:33:55.520 White House
00:33:56.020 and Trump
00:33:57.080 is still
00:33:57.460 there because
00:33:58.000 he thinks
00:33:58.440 he won?
00:33:59.960 And the
00:34:00.300 people sitting
00:34:00.880 in the
00:34:01.140 moving truck
00:34:01.700 outside think
00:34:02.420 they won?
00:34:03.760 What happens?
00:34:05.380 Do you
00:34:05.780 call the
00:34:07.340 military?
00:34:09.080 If Trump
00:34:09.880 said,
00:34:10.460 okay,
00:34:11.240 military or
00:34:13.080 whatever security
00:34:14.140 for the
00:34:14.500 White House,
00:34:15.560 go throw
00:34:16.360 those movers
00:34:18.100 out.
00:34:18.660 They can't
00:34:19.200 be moving
00:34:19.620 stuff into
00:34:20.160 the White
00:34:20.660 House.
00:34:21.340 They lost
00:34:21.840 the election.
00:34:22.840 So tell
00:34:23.160 them they
00:34:23.500 can't come
00:34:23.960 in.
00:34:25.240 What if
00:34:25.620 they try?
00:34:27.400 Is there
00:34:28.020 anybody whose
00:34:28.760 job it is
00:34:29.660 to arrest
00:34:31.060 people who
00:34:31.620 believe they
00:34:32.220 won the
00:34:32.680 election from
00:34:34.060 moving into
00:34:34.660 the White
00:34:35.000 House,
00:34:35.300 which they
00:34:35.700 believe they
00:34:36.640 rightfully
00:34:37.700 won?
00:34:40.280 Think about
00:34:41.020 that.
00:34:41.840 You could
00:34:42.300 actually have
00:34:43.060 the moving
00:34:43.600 truck for
00:34:44.300 Biden,
00:34:44.960 figuratively
00:34:45.900 speaking,
00:34:46.520 a moving
00:34:46.840 truck,
00:34:47.960 pulling up
00:34:48.880 to the
00:34:49.100 White House
00:34:49.560 with Trump
00:34:50.860 sitting there
00:34:51.400 saying,
00:34:51.920 you didn't
00:34:52.180 win,
00:34:53.100 and the
00:34:54.180 entire
00:34:54.480 mainstream
00:34:54.980 media saying,
00:34:56.140 yeah,
00:34:56.340 Biden won.
00:34:57.920 Biden won.
00:34:58.660 When are you
00:34:59.060 moving out?
00:35:00.900 What do you
00:35:01.520 mean Trump
00:35:02.340 won?
00:35:02.540 That didn't
00:35:02.860 happen.
00:35:03.800 Biden won.
00:35:04.460 When are you
00:35:04.740 moving out?
00:35:05.880 And as
00:35:07.160 crazy as
00:35:08.020 this seems,
00:35:09.660 that's where
00:35:10.480 we're heading.
00:35:12.300 In other
00:35:12.900 words, I'm
00:35:14.100 not saying
00:35:14.540 that's where
00:35:15.080 it's going
00:35:15.740 to happen
00:35:16.300 because there
00:35:17.380 could be
00:35:17.620 lots of
00:35:17.980 twists and
00:35:18.420 turns.
00:35:19.120 There could
00:35:19.380 be that
00:35:20.500 landslide,
00:35:21.280 like I
00:35:21.560 said.
00:35:22.380 But I
00:35:22.980 feel like
00:35:23.420 it's a
00:35:23.840 60%
00:35:24.660 chance,
00:35:26.220 a 60%
00:35:27.280 chance that
00:35:28.780 Biden and
00:35:29.400 Trump will
00:35:29.920 both be
00:35:30.520 claiming victory
00:35:31.340 and the
00:35:32.520 respective
00:35:33.220 medias will
00:35:34.040 be backing
00:35:34.580 them.
00:35:35.460 And we
00:35:35.980 actually won't
00:35:37.160 have one
00:35:38.300 president.
00:35:39.440 We'll have
00:35:40.320 two.
00:35:41.640 And it
00:35:42.100 might be
00:35:42.440 like Venezuela
00:35:43.220 where Biden
00:35:44.840 becomes,
00:35:45.980 he thinks
00:35:46.820 he's president
00:35:47.420 and starts
00:35:48.800 acting like
00:35:49.580 president from
00:35:51.220 his house,
00:35:52.180 like Venezuela.
00:35:54.740 In Venezuela,
00:35:55.640 they had the,
00:35:56.220 you know,
00:35:56.520 the president
00:35:57.800 in exile or
00:35:59.760 whatever it
00:36:00.140 is,
00:36:00.840 and then
00:36:01.360 the acting
00:36:01.760 president.
00:36:03.120 But sort
00:36:03.600 of like,
00:36:04.260 depending who
00:36:04.780 you talk
00:36:05.180 to,
00:36:06.060 one of
00:36:06.520 them was
00:36:06.860 president or
00:36:07.500 the other.
00:36:08.740 We're kind
00:36:09.380 of heading
00:36:09.680 for that.
00:36:10.800 Now,
00:36:10.980 somebody said
00:36:11.480 the Supreme
00:36:12.080 Court will
00:36:12.660 settle it.
00:36:14.220 That was
00:36:15.140 before this
00:36:16.040 Supreme
00:36:16.520 Court.
00:36:17.940 Because this
00:36:19.340 Supreme Court
00:36:20.040 doesn't have
00:36:20.720 the credibility
00:36:21.520 of prior
00:36:22.520 Supreme
00:36:23.000 Courts,
00:36:23.860 because it's
00:36:24.420 so heavily
00:36:25.060 conservative at
00:36:27.400 this point.
00:36:27.900 so the
00:36:29.500 left part
00:36:30.080 of the
00:36:30.280 country is
00:36:31.600 not as
00:36:32.360 primed as
00:36:33.260 they ever
00:36:33.700 have been
00:36:34.260 to accept
00:36:35.540 a Supreme
00:36:36.140 Court decision,
00:36:37.680 even if,
00:36:39.100 even if they
00:36:40.420 used to.
00:36:42.180 This time
00:36:43.000 feels different.
00:36:44.480 So anyway,
00:36:45.000 there's some
00:36:45.680 possibility that
00:36:46.580 we'll have two
00:36:47.240 presidents for a
00:36:48.100 while.
00:36:48.500 That'll be
00:36:48.960 weird.
00:36:50.480 Which one
00:36:51.140 are you going
00:36:51.460 to obey?
00:36:51.840 if you're
00:36:58.360 wondering how
00:36:58.820 that will
00:36:59.140 be resolved,
00:37:01.200 I don't
00:37:01.660 know.
00:37:02.780 How do you
00:37:03.480 resolve that?
00:37:04.840 That'll be
00:37:05.420 hard to
00:37:06.200 resolve.
00:37:08.760 Here's a
00:37:09.420 reason that
00:37:09.980 there might
00:37:10.440 not be
00:37:11.180 violence
00:37:12.800 after the
00:37:13.580 election.
00:37:14.560 Are you
00:37:14.760 ready?
00:37:15.620 One reason
00:37:16.440 there might
00:37:16.880 not be
00:37:17.400 violence is
00:37:18.620 that we
00:37:18.940 won't know
00:37:19.400 who won.
00:37:19.880 Because if,
00:37:22.980 let's say on
00:37:23.580 election day,
00:37:24.460 the election
00:37:25.080 was called
00:37:25.780 for Trump,
00:37:26.960 and let's
00:37:27.360 say the
00:37:27.700 whole country
00:37:28.220 agreed that
00:37:29.000 okay, he
00:37:29.660 won by so
00:37:30.240 much, he
00:37:30.620 really did
00:37:31.040 win.
00:37:31.940 In that
00:37:32.740 case, you
00:37:33.600 would certainly
00:37:34.060 see mass
00:37:35.320 unrest, because
00:37:36.440 that's the
00:37:36.860 trigger.
00:37:37.840 Everybody's
00:37:38.360 waiting for
00:37:38.780 the starting
00:37:39.640 gun.
00:37:40.100 All right,
00:37:40.880 wait till
00:37:41.600 Trump gets
00:37:42.460 named the
00:37:43.180 president,
00:37:43.960 go.
00:37:45.520 But what
00:37:46.040 if the
00:37:46.900 news is we
00:37:47.920 were not
00:37:48.640 sure who's
00:37:49.220 president?
00:37:50.640 Do you
00:37:51.200 still have
00:37:51.620 a riot?
00:37:52.980 Because you
00:37:53.540 don't even
00:37:53.920 know if you
00:37:54.360 won or you
00:37:54.820 lost.
00:37:55.660 You're like,
00:37:56.140 ah, tonight?
00:37:58.340 Do we
00:37:58.920 riot tonight?
00:38:00.600 Now, they
00:38:00.940 might do
00:38:01.420 sort of, you
00:38:02.380 know, a
00:38:03.060 kind of a
00:38:03.640 riot where
00:38:04.180 they're just
00:38:04.520 supporting their
00:38:05.120 candidate, and
00:38:06.560 that would be,
00:38:07.200 you know, there
00:38:07.520 would be enough
00:38:07.860 trouble from
00:38:08.400 that.
00:38:09.020 But it's not
00:38:09.500 going to be the
00:38:09.920 full energy
00:38:10.720 riot as if you
00:38:12.460 thought you
00:38:12.860 lost.
00:38:14.400 That would be a
00:38:15.180 different level of
00:38:15.900 energy.
00:38:16.520 So it's
00:38:16.860 possible that
00:38:18.340 drawing out
00:38:19.140 the result is
00:38:21.020 the very best
00:38:21.740 thing that could
00:38:22.320 happen accidentally.
00:38:24.180 Because if you
00:38:24.980 draw it out, you're
00:38:25.980 going to take all
00:38:26.420 that energy that
00:38:27.240 would have been
00:38:27.780 concentrated on the
00:38:29.360 day after the
00:38:30.020 election, or
00:38:30.720 election night
00:38:31.480 actually, you
00:38:32.380 take all that
00:38:32.960 energy and you
00:38:33.540 just sort of
00:38:34.180 spread it out
00:38:35.600 over a few
00:38:36.200 weeks.
00:38:36.540 It's like, ah,
00:38:37.360 we don't know
00:38:38.180 who won.
00:38:39.020 I'm really angry
00:38:40.280 unless I'm not.
00:38:42.160 I really hate
00:38:43.180 what happened
00:38:43.840 unless I don't.
00:38:45.380 I'm really
00:38:46.700 going to be
00:38:47.060 angry tomorrow
00:38:48.060 unless I get
00:38:48.960 some more
00:38:49.360 data.
00:38:52.380 It could be
00:38:53.440 the weirdest
00:38:54.080 self-canceling
00:38:55.880 problems, because
00:38:56.740 you've got two
00:38:57.140 problems, right?
00:38:58.200 One is you're
00:38:59.000 not going to be
00:38:59.520 sure who got
00:39:00.160 elected, and
00:39:01.300 then the second
00:39:01.820 problem is
00:39:02.500 unrest in the
00:39:03.720 streets.
00:39:04.780 What if the
00:39:05.680 fact that we
00:39:06.200 don't know who
00:39:06.780 got elected
00:39:07.400 takes all the
00:39:08.840 energy out of
00:39:09.440 the protest?
00:39:10.620 Now, it's not
00:39:11.320 going to take it
00:39:11.740 all out.
00:39:12.180 There will
00:39:12.400 definitely be
00:39:13.100 protests.
00:39:14.220 There will
00:39:14.460 definitely be
00:39:15.080 people in
00:39:15.480 the streets,
00:39:15.940 no matter
00:39:16.360 what.
00:39:17.040 It doesn't
00:39:17.320 matter which
00:39:17.720 way it goes.
00:39:18.280 There's going
00:39:18.540 to be people
00:39:18.960 in the streets.
00:39:20.380 But I feel
00:39:22.640 as if it's
00:39:23.760 not going to
00:39:24.160 be anything
00:39:24.760 like a civil
00:39:26.700 war.
00:39:28.140 And the
00:39:28.700 reason is that
00:39:29.400 the Republicans
00:39:30.520 don't want it
00:39:31.360 to be.
00:39:32.700 They don't
00:39:33.060 want it to
00:39:33.460 be.
00:39:33.940 You would
00:39:34.420 need two
00:39:34.980 sides that
00:39:35.520 want to
00:39:35.840 fight to
00:39:37.120 have a real
00:39:37.520 fight.
00:39:38.700 The Republicans
00:39:39.260 would rather
00:39:40.020 just follow the
00:39:41.700 rules and not
00:39:42.540 fight.
00:39:42.900 But suppose
00:39:45.780 it came to
00:39:46.840 it.
00:39:47.180 It came
00:39:47.520 down to
00:39:47.960 it.
00:39:49.100 If it came
00:39:49.820 down to
00:39:50.220 it, and I
00:39:50.660 don't want to
00:39:51.020 act as if
00:39:53.600 this is
00:39:54.340 something I
00:39:54.820 want to
00:39:55.300 happen.
00:39:56.420 So frame
00:39:57.500 this with the
00:39:58.180 idea that
00:39:58.740 nobody wants
00:39:59.500 the following
00:40:00.080 thing to
00:40:00.580 happen.
00:40:02.120 Probably
00:40:02.560 there's a
00:40:03.180 mass casualty
00:40:04.320 event in our
00:40:05.060 future.
00:40:06.040 Not right
00:40:06.760 away.
00:40:07.060 But if
00:40:08.400 you get
00:40:08.920 enough
00:40:09.560 people this
00:40:10.560 worked up,
00:40:11.760 sooner or
00:40:12.540 later you're
00:40:13.340 going to get
00:40:13.740 somebody who
00:40:14.560 has the
00:40:15.760 wherewithal and
00:40:16.600 the craziness to
00:40:17.640 do something
00:40:18.580 really, really
00:40:19.260 bad in a
00:40:20.080 large crowd of
00:40:20.760 people.
00:40:21.720 So that
00:40:22.560 might take
00:40:23.340 some of the
00:40:23.760 steam out of
00:40:24.220 the protests.
00:40:25.220 So one way
00:40:25.740 it could go is
00:40:26.540 a mass casualty
00:40:27.740 event that just
00:40:29.040 makes everybody
00:40:29.660 else stay
00:40:30.140 home.
00:40:31.640 We don't want
00:40:33.200 that to happen,
00:40:33.680 but I'd say
00:40:34.900 that's in the
00:40:35.460 top ten
00:40:36.060 possibilities,
00:40:38.600 a mass
00:40:38.980 casualty event.
00:40:39.820 It's probably
00:40:40.080 in the top
00:40:40.480 five, I
00:40:41.640 would guess.
00:40:42.580 And for
00:40:43.560 that to
00:40:43.960 happen, I
00:40:44.380 think the
00:40:44.820 left would
00:40:46.000 have to
00:40:46.800 kill more
00:40:48.280 people.
00:40:49.620 So if the
00:40:50.200 left get a
00:40:50.880 little bit more
00:40:51.460 deadly after
00:40:52.580 the election,
00:40:53.700 then the odds
00:40:54.540 of a mass
00:40:55.160 casualty event
00:40:56.120 which killed
00:40:56.900 mostly Antifa
00:40:58.220 and Black
00:40:58.700 Lives Matter
00:40:59.260 goes way
00:41:00.620 up.
00:41:02.020 But not
00:41:02.780 unless they
00:41:03.220 get pretty
00:41:04.580 bad, worse
00:41:05.740 than they
00:41:05.980 have been.
00:41:08.220 On the
00:41:08.780 good news,
00:41:11.500 oh, by
00:41:11.920 the way,
00:41:12.180 the Trafalgar
00:41:13.060 group,
00:41:14.140 Robert
00:41:14.640 Caheli, I
00:41:15.900 guess he's
00:41:16.240 the head of
00:41:16.620 that, and
00:41:17.760 he called
00:41:18.280 Trump as
00:41:19.460 the winner
00:41:19.860 in 2016,
00:41:21.080 and he was
00:41:21.380 correct, and
00:41:21.960 he is calling
00:41:22.700 Trump the
00:41:23.860 winner again
00:41:24.580 now.
00:41:26.060 So the
00:41:26.460 one guy
00:41:26.900 who got,
00:41:27.280 well, a few
00:41:27.820 people got it
00:41:28.360 right, but
00:41:29.180 one of the
00:41:29.700 few people
00:41:30.160 who got it
00:41:30.620 right is
00:41:33.200 calling it
00:41:33.760 for Trump
00:41:34.160 again.
00:41:35.400 So that
00:41:35.880 means something.
00:41:37.220 Here's a
00:41:37.660 little tidbit
00:41:38.200 of interest.
00:41:40.140 Did you
00:41:40.400 know that
00:41:40.780 Black and
00:41:41.240 Hispanic
00:41:41.500 young women
00:41:42.480 now attend
00:41:43.380 college at
00:41:44.120 higher rate
00:41:44.820 than white
00:41:45.540 young men?
00:41:48.160 Interesting.
00:41:49.360 This is more
00:41:50.140 to my
00:41:50.720 hypothesis that
00:41:54.200 the Republican
00:41:54.800 Party is
00:41:55.620 becoming a
00:41:56.340 male,
00:41:57.520 let's say,
00:41:59.340 male-focused
00:42:00.160 or oriented
00:42:01.040 or biased.
00:42:02.380 I guess
00:42:02.600 biased would
00:42:03.280 be the way.
00:42:04.060 The Republican
00:42:04.940 Party is more
00:42:05.660 male-biased,
00:42:07.040 and I think
00:42:07.720 will start to
00:42:08.440 absorb African
00:42:09.300 American men.
00:42:10.340 You're already
00:42:10.700 seeing that.
00:42:11.780 Whereas the
00:42:12.300 Democratic Party
00:42:13.060 is more of a
00:42:14.080 party of women,
00:42:15.440 which will
00:42:16.500 absorb women
00:42:18.280 and men who
00:42:19.980 think women
00:42:20.620 should be in
00:42:21.180 charge,
00:42:22.400 meaning that
00:42:25.140 they would
00:42:25.420 rather not be
00:42:25.980 in charge
00:42:26.320 themselves.
00:42:26.800 So I
00:42:29.500 think that's
00:42:29.840 where it's
00:42:30.060 going.
00:42:30.600 Long term,
00:42:32.680 the political
00:42:33.380 parties will be
00:42:34.300 separated by
00:42:34.940 gender more
00:42:36.460 than ethnicity.
00:42:38.420 That is my
00:42:39.140 prediction,
00:42:40.100 that the
00:42:40.820 black voters
00:42:42.580 will split,
00:42:44.420 and the males
00:42:45.620 will go
00:42:46.080 Republican,
00:42:47.300 the women
00:42:47.780 will stay
00:42:48.580 Democrat,
00:42:49.580 and that that
00:42:50.200 will be a
00:42:50.580 trend in the
00:42:51.060 future.
00:42:51.460 That's what I
00:42:51.880 predict.
00:42:53.180 All right.
00:42:53.460 All right.
00:42:56.800 There's another
00:42:57.800 theory about
00:42:59.460 why the
00:42:59.920 polls are so
00:43:00.900 off, and
00:43:02.420 that is the
00:43:03.260 revolution
00:43:04.160 theory.
00:43:05.760 And the
00:43:06.020 theory is that
00:43:06.740 the pollsters
00:43:07.560 are part of
00:43:08.200 a mass
00:43:09.120 effort to
00:43:10.760 make it look
00:43:11.480 as though
00:43:11.880 Trump stole
00:43:12.880 the election.
00:43:21.180 Somebody says
00:43:22.140 that I should
00:43:22.560 look no
00:43:22.980 further than
00:43:23.620 my own
00:43:24.140 chat as
00:43:25.800 to whether
00:43:26.300 Republicans
00:43:27.100 want to
00:43:27.720 follow the
00:43:28.200 rules.
00:43:29.100 Well, I
00:43:29.480 would say
00:43:29.840 if you
00:43:30.220 look at
00:43:30.680 what the
00:43:31.080 Republicans
00:43:31.500 have done
00:43:32.100 so far,
00:43:33.800 there's a
00:43:34.660 pretty strong
00:43:35.440 trend toward
00:43:37.120 them following
00:43:37.640 the rules.
00:43:39.360 I think
00:43:40.140 that's safe
00:43:40.600 to say.
00:43:41.500 So why
00:43:41.840 would that
00:43:42.140 change?
00:43:46.600 Such
00:43:47.040 speculation
00:43:47.700 about the
00:43:48.340 White House
00:43:48.820 moving in.
00:43:49.400 I'm just
00:43:49.640 looking at
00:43:50.000 your comments
00:43:50.720 here for a
00:43:51.140 moment.
00:43:51.600 Well, of
00:43:51.900 course it's
00:43:52.300 speculation.
00:43:53.060 That's what
00:43:53.380 we're doing
00:43:53.680 here.
00:43:54.600 All right.
00:43:55.800 there's
00:43:57.600 another
00:43:58.700 article in
00:43:59.560 the news
00:44:00.160 suggesting
00:44:00.820 that masks,
00:44:02.640 although a
00:44:03.720 mask of
00:44:04.200 course cannot
00:44:04.660 keep a
00:44:05.480 virus from
00:44:06.080 getting to
00:44:06.540 you completely,
00:44:08.180 but there's
00:44:09.140 mounting evidence
00:44:10.580 that the
00:44:11.020 amount of
00:44:11.700 virus you're
00:44:12.340 exposed to
00:44:13.020 can determine
00:44:14.040 how sick
00:44:14.700 you get
00:44:15.220 or even
00:44:15.640 if you
00:44:15.920 get sick.
00:44:17.100 So if
00:44:17.660 the masks
00:44:18.360 did nothing
00:44:19.040 but reduce
00:44:19.960 the viral
00:44:20.760 load,
00:44:21.980 even if
00:44:22.580 you got
00:44:23.060 the virus
00:44:23.680 every single
00:44:24.600 time,
00:44:25.780 let me
00:44:26.520 give you
00:44:26.880 an example.
00:44:27.460 Let's
00:44:27.600 say you
00:44:28.900 knew that
00:44:29.360 every time
00:44:29.980 you came
00:44:30.420 in contact
00:44:30.940 with another
00:44:31.780 masked
00:44:32.340 person and
00:44:33.600 you had
00:44:33.860 a conversation
00:44:34.780 that if
00:44:36.760 one of
00:44:37.120 you had
00:44:38.240 been
00:44:38.460 infected,
00:44:39.580 that the
00:44:39.920 odds of
00:44:40.380 your
00:44:40.560 coronavirus,
00:44:41.900 even if
00:44:42.380 both of
00:44:42.800 you have
00:44:43.120 masks,
00:44:44.160 if the
00:44:44.480 odds of
00:44:44.860 your
00:44:45.040 coronavirus
00:44:45.500 from
00:44:46.040 your
00:44:46.220 infected
00:44:46.680 body
00:44:47.440 getting
00:44:48.480 over to
00:44:48.940 the other
00:44:49.240 person,
00:44:49.900 let's
00:44:50.180 say it's
00:44:50.440 100%.
00:44:51.220 Let's
00:44:52.360 say if
00:44:52.680 you're
00:44:52.880 in a
00:44:53.120 room with
00:44:53.620 an
00:44:53.780 infected
00:44:54.180 person
00:44:54.640 who's
00:44:55.060 shedding
00:44:55.540 the virus,
00:44:56.980 your odds
00:44:57.520 of getting
00:44:57.920 it in
00:44:58.440 a five
00:44:58.920 minute
00:44:59.120 conversation,
00:45:00.100 even if
00:45:00.520 both of
00:45:00.920 you have
00:45:01.160 masks,
00:45:01.920 let's
00:45:02.180 say the
00:45:02.480 odds of
00:45:03.020 some
00:45:03.840 of that
00:45:04.140 virus
00:45:04.480 reaching
00:45:04.800 you
00:45:04.980 are
00:45:05.100 100%.
00:45:05.900 Because
00:45:06.820 that's
00:45:07.000 probably
00:45:07.280 true,
00:45:08.120 right?
00:45:08.660 Because
00:45:09.120 the virus
00:45:09.660 is aerosol,
00:45:11.920 it's coming
00:45:12.700 out of the
00:45:13.100 sides of
00:45:13.540 your mask,
00:45:14.240 because when
00:45:14.640 you exhale,
00:45:15.500 it's going
00:45:15.860 somewhere,
00:45:17.100 right?
00:45:17.360 It's got
00:45:17.680 to go
00:45:17.900 somewhere.
00:45:18.220 So the
00:45:19.540 room would
00:45:20.080 fill up
00:45:20.520 with virus,
00:45:21.420 the other
00:45:21.820 person would
00:45:22.340 be exposed
00:45:22.780 to it.
00:45:23.580 I feel
00:45:24.040 like you
00:45:24.380 could say
00:45:24.800 that the
00:45:25.160 odds of
00:45:25.700 the other
00:45:25.980 person being
00:45:26.620 exposed to
00:45:27.600 at least
00:45:28.600 one virus
00:45:29.520 particle,
00:45:30.220 if that's
00:45:30.760 what they're
00:45:31.080 called,
00:45:32.240 is 100%.
00:45:33.760 Probably,
00:45:35.760 right?
00:45:36.180 Because the
00:45:36.860 virus is sort
00:45:37.540 of floating
00:45:37.960 around wherever
00:45:38.820 you are if
00:45:40.000 you're infected.
00:45:41.120 But because
00:45:42.800 we know that
00:45:43.580 the amount
00:45:44.460 of the virus
00:45:45.220 is very
00:45:46.340 important to
00:45:47.000 whether you
00:45:47.460 get infected
00:45:48.160 in the
00:45:48.520 first place,
00:45:49.500 and if
00:45:50.040 you do
00:45:50.300 get infected,
00:45:51.480 it's a
00:45:52.100 really big
00:45:52.600 deal in
00:45:53.100 terms of
00:45:53.460 how bad
00:45:53.920 it becomes.
00:45:54.860 So if
00:45:55.160 you get a
00:45:55.520 big dose
00:45:56.180 in the
00:45:57.180 beginning,
00:45:57.720 you're going
00:45:58.020 to get
00:45:58.240 much sicker,
00:45:59.220 the scientists
00:45:59.660 say.
00:46:00.880 So here's
00:46:02.000 the question.
00:46:03.040 If the
00:46:03.540 mask does
00:46:04.500 not keep
00:46:05.080 you from
00:46:05.500 getting the
00:46:06.160 virus,
00:46:06.980 could it
00:46:07.580 keep you
00:46:08.000 from getting
00:46:08.500 it worse?
00:46:10.100 And the
00:46:10.500 scientists are
00:46:11.260 suggesting they
00:46:12.800 don't have a
00:46:13.560 controlled study
00:46:15.440 of this,
00:46:16.340 but they're
00:46:16.660 suggesting that
00:46:17.880 the common
00:46:18.440 sense of
00:46:19.060 it,
00:46:19.400 the logic,
00:46:20.740 the best
00:46:22.020 medical thinking
00:46:23.020 about it,
00:46:23.880 is that at
00:46:24.640 the very
00:46:24.980 least,
00:46:26.220 it would
00:46:26.620 reduce the
00:46:27.360 amount of
00:46:27.740 virus that
00:46:28.520 hits the
00:46:29.960 other person.
00:46:31.820 All right.
00:46:32.180 somebody says,
00:46:37.740 I'm very
00:46:38.040 happy today
00:46:38.680 because it's
00:46:39.180 only two
00:46:39.620 days until
00:46:40.160 the Trumpers
00:46:40.800 are silenced
00:46:41.540 and it's
00:46:42.460 game over.
00:46:44.760 You know,
00:46:45.520 this really
00:46:46.040 isn't the
00:46:46.540 election where
00:46:47.160 you want to
00:46:47.580 be overconfident.
00:46:50.200 Did you learn
00:46:51.420 nothing from
00:46:52.000 2016?
00:46:53.280 You know,
00:46:53.580 as a Trump
00:46:54.800 supporter,
00:46:55.920 even I learned
00:46:56.880 something from
00:46:57.480 2016,
00:46:58.120 which is,
00:46:59.680 you don't
00:47:00.060 really want
00:47:00.840 to be that
00:47:01.540 person who
00:47:02.900 the day before
00:47:03.620 the election
00:47:04.140 is a little
00:47:04.780 too confident.
00:47:06.620 Now,
00:47:07.100 I'm telling
00:47:07.740 you my
00:47:08.380 prediction,
00:47:09.860 but of course
00:47:10.520 we're human
00:47:11.180 beings,
00:47:12.360 right?
00:47:12.580 Anybody can
00:47:13.120 be wrong.
00:47:14.020 If it turns
00:47:14.560 out I'm
00:47:14.960 wrong,
00:47:15.400 I'll just
00:47:15.800 deal with
00:47:16.180 it.
00:47:16.580 It's not
00:47:16.900 going to
00:47:17.100 ruin my
00:47:17.500 day.
00:47:18.180 It won't
00:47:18.380 even ruin
00:47:18.740 my day,
00:47:19.960 much less
00:47:20.660 my life.
00:47:21.240 So I
00:47:22.100 hope that
00:47:22.800 most of
00:47:23.220 you can
00:47:23.960 be
00:47:25.980 similarly
00:47:26.900 relaxed
00:47:28.880 about this.
00:47:29.560 I don't
00:47:29.760 think there's
00:47:30.120 any chance
00:47:30.640 that Republicans
00:47:31.460 are going
00:47:31.880 to riot
00:47:32.720 if they
00:47:33.840 don't get
00:47:34.180 their way,
00:47:34.560 as long
00:47:34.800 as the
00:47:35.020 election
00:47:35.300 is fair.
00:47:38.600 So what
00:47:39.200 are you
00:47:39.360 going to
00:47:39.580 do after
00:47:40.220 election
00:47:40.600 day when
00:47:41.040 there is
00:47:41.420 unrest
00:47:41.940 everywhere?
00:47:42.780 What are
00:47:43.340 you going
00:47:44.220 to do?
00:47:45.320 How will
00:47:45.880 you stay
00:47:47.220 safe?
00:47:48.620 And here
00:47:49.280 is what I
00:47:49.800 suggest.
00:47:51.240 Number
00:47:51.680 one,
00:47:52.980 first of
00:47:53.680 all,
00:47:53.900 if Biden
00:47:54.400 wins in
00:47:55.540 a landslide,
00:47:57.020 there won't
00:47:57.520 be much
00:47:58.440 social unrest,
00:48:00.200 probably.
00:48:01.980 That's what
00:48:02.640 all the smart
00:48:03.160 people say.
00:48:04.160 I think it's
00:48:04.780 still possible
00:48:05.420 that the
00:48:06.400 looters and
00:48:07.240 protesters just
00:48:08.220 want to loot
00:48:08.740 and protest,
00:48:09.740 so there
00:48:10.100 might be
00:48:10.440 some of it
00:48:11.020 anyway.
00:48:11.720 But if
00:48:12.040 Biden gets
00:48:12.520 elected in
00:48:13.100 a landslide,
00:48:14.820 probably I
00:48:16.520 would agree
00:48:16.940 with most
00:48:17.460 of the smart
00:48:18.040 people who
00:48:18.620 say there
00:48:19.220 would be
00:48:19.440 less rioting.
00:48:21.240 But I
00:48:22.340 think Trump
00:48:23.080 is going
00:48:23.400 to win.
00:48:24.520 So, how
00:48:25.240 should you
00:48:25.620 prepare?
00:48:27.060 Well,
00:48:27.540 definitely you
00:48:28.240 should have
00:48:28.820 guns and
00:48:30.880 ammo, and
00:48:32.800 that's just a
00:48:33.740 good general
00:48:34.720 Second Amendment
00:48:36.620 advice.
00:48:38.200 So, it's
00:48:38.900 not even
00:48:39.320 advice specific
00:48:41.500 to this
00:48:42.880 situation.
00:48:43.800 Just in
00:48:44.340 general, you
00:48:45.680 should be
00:48:46.040 prepared for
00:48:46.860 whatever comes
00:48:47.980 your way.
00:48:49.280 But, keep
00:48:50.760 it in your
00:48:51.100 house, right?
00:48:52.780 I would
00:48:53.360 not go out
00:48:54.000 on the
00:48:54.320 porch with
00:48:55.700 your weapon.
00:48:57.460 I would
00:48:57.880 not display
00:48:59.500 my weapon,
00:49:00.900 unless your
00:49:01.900 house is under
00:49:02.500 attack, of
00:49:03.060 course, and
00:49:03.420 then all
00:49:04.000 bets are
00:49:04.780 off.
00:49:05.240 You have
00:49:05.580 to do what
00:49:05.960 you have
00:49:06.240 to do if
00:49:06.660 your house
00:49:07.540 is actually
00:49:08.100 under attack.
00:49:10.720 But, be
00:49:12.440 careful, right?
00:49:13.920 Just be
00:49:16.540 cool, and
00:49:17.920 try to get
00:49:18.600 through the
00:49:19.060 first couple
00:49:19.640 of weeks.
00:49:20.520 The first
00:49:20.920 couple of
00:49:21.280 weeks could
00:49:21.700 be rough.
00:49:22.800 But, just
00:49:23.160 try to be
00:49:24.560 a good
00:49:25.100 winner.
00:49:26.180 Try to be
00:49:26.880 a good
00:49:27.240 winner if
00:49:27.820 you win.
00:49:28.640 And, if
00:49:29.060 you lose,
00:49:29.600 try to be
00:49:29.940 a good
00:49:30.180 loser.
00:49:31.500 Because, that's
00:49:32.300 one thing we
00:49:33.060 can control,
00:49:33.880 right?
00:49:34.420 You can't
00:49:35.040 control
00:49:35.340 everything, but
00:49:36.480 you can
00:49:36.820 control if
00:49:37.660 you go
00:49:39.200 crazy.
00:49:40.200 You can
00:49:40.800 control if
00:49:41.520 you act
00:49:43.000 impulsively.
00:49:44.840 You can
00:49:45.360 control how
00:49:46.620 you influence
00:49:47.460 other people
00:49:48.060 by your
00:49:48.620 attitudes,
00:49:49.320 etc.
00:49:50.420 So, influence
00:49:51.420 what you can
00:49:52.020 influence, and
00:49:53.200 don't worry
00:49:54.220 about the
00:49:54.640 rest.
00:49:55.480 I don't
00:49:55.920 think there's
00:49:56.340 any chance
00:49:57.060 that the
00:49:57.400 United States
00:49:58.080 will be
00:49:58.560 dissolved in
00:49:59.460 the next
00:49:59.820 year because
00:50:00.860 of unrest.
00:50:02.160 I put the
00:50:02.980 odds of
00:50:03.460 that at
00:50:04.060 zero.
00:50:06.060 Zero.
00:50:07.500 You have
00:50:08.180 a very
00:50:09.460 biased
00:50:10.840 view, all
00:50:11.960 of us do,
00:50:12.820 a biased
00:50:13.420 view of
00:50:14.260 how many
00:50:14.800 people are
00:50:15.580 marching, and
00:50:16.740 how many
00:50:17.240 people want
00:50:17.920 to overthrow
00:50:18.620 the government.
00:50:19.920 It's a really
00:50:20.540 small number.
00:50:22.220 The rest of
00:50:22.820 us are just
00:50:23.360 not making
00:50:24.120 noise.
00:50:25.300 So, it
00:50:25.720 feels like
00:50:26.440 there's a
00:50:27.520 much bigger
00:50:28.120 movement than
00:50:28.840 there is.
00:50:29.340 It's small,
00:50:30.500 and we are
00:50:31.360 strong and
00:50:32.340 well-armed and
00:50:33.400 quite determined
00:50:34.160 to still be the
00:50:35.260 United States
00:50:36.140 by the end
00:50:37.420 of the year.
00:50:37.840 So, I
00:50:39.840 make this
00:50:40.320 commitment to
00:50:40.920 all of you.
00:50:42.480 We will be
00:50:43.220 the United
00:50:43.820 States
00:50:44.420 next year.
00:50:48.360 We will
00:50:49.060 not go
00:50:49.560 out of
00:50:49.820 business.
00:50:51.000 We will
00:50:51.620 not have a
00:50:52.220 civil war.
00:50:53.000 We will
00:50:53.320 not shoot
00:50:55.120 ourselves in
00:50:55.720 the foot.
00:50:56.900 Maybe a
00:50:57.380 little.
00:50:57.740 We might
00:50:58.080 wound
00:50:58.360 ourselves, but
00:50:58.980 we're not
00:50:59.280 going to kill
00:51:00.640 ourselves.
00:51:01.920 You will
00:51:02.440 be fine.
00:51:04.020 The
00:51:04.520 coronavirus
00:51:04.940 won't last
00:51:05.900 forever.
00:51:06.960 The economy
00:51:07.800 will survive.
00:51:10.240 Nobody will
00:51:10.840 starve.
00:51:13.080 It will be
00:51:14.040 uncomfortable,
00:51:15.560 and a lot of
00:51:16.120 people are
00:51:16.520 going to be
00:51:16.840 suffering, but
00:51:17.480 nobody's going
00:51:17.980 to starve in
00:51:18.620 this country,
00:51:19.760 and we're
00:51:21.460 going to be
00:51:21.780 okay.
00:51:23.460 So,
00:51:24.780 everybody,
00:51:25.720 be prepared,
00:51:26.580 but be
00:51:27.040 cool.
00:51:28.160 Be prepared,
00:51:29.400 but be
00:51:29.860 cool.
00:51:31.380 Emphasis on
00:51:32.160 be cool,
00:51:34.240 and I
00:51:34.800 will talk
00:51:35.160 to you
00:51:35.540 tomorrow,
00:51:37.560 if not
00:51:37.840 tonight.
00:51:40.600 See you
00:51:41.120 then.
