00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Come on in. It's time. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams, the best part of the day.
00:00:18.440 Don't you feel better already just knowing that the simultaneous sip is coming and the hour that you like better than any other hour is about to begin?
00:00:30.000 Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's that good. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank, a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:39.520 Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
00:00:43.820 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:50.720 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens. Now, go.
00:00:55.120 Did I see that the machines were unapproved, update the night before? Yes.
00:01:04.920 We'll talk about all of the things in a moment.
00:01:08.600 But in no particular order, here's a question I was wondering today.
00:01:12.980 If, by coincidence, all of this happened at once, let's say, let's say you got red-pilled, born-again, woke, and you got TDS all at the same time,
00:01:26.280 would they cancel out or would some of them make the other ones worse?
00:01:31.560 I'll just leave you with that. You can think about that.
00:01:33.800 Well, the big news today is that the Joe Biden pre-administration, unverified president-elect, he's killing it.
00:01:45.040 He's killing it.
00:01:46.360 Not only has Joe Biden developed in just a few short days of being a presumptive, unverified president,
00:01:52.920 apparently he's caused Pfizer to have a great success, 90% effectiveness with their COVID vaccine,
00:02:04.980 and we could have some number of it by the end of the year.
00:02:09.840 Stock market is surging.
00:02:12.360 Joe Biden is making me richer by the moment.
00:02:15.520 Thank you, Joe Biden.
00:02:16.680 And with any luck, with any luck, the Republicans will maintain the Senate,
00:02:24.600 and Joe Biden will not raise my taxes.
00:02:27.560 He'll cure the coronavirus, and it's all good for me.
00:02:34.960 So, we got that going on.
00:02:37.780 Now, I don't know if you saw that Scaramucci tweeted that Joe Biden has already come up with a coronavirus vaccine,
00:02:47.700 and the world is so crazy that people couldn't tell he was joking.
00:02:54.320 So, in case you saw that and you don't think he was joking, he was joking.
00:03:00.000 No, Anthony Scaramucci does not believe that Biden came up with a coronavirus vaccine in five days after being elected.
00:03:12.340 But he tweeted it, and it was pretty funny.
00:03:16.680 I would like to get your agreement that we can spend the entire day today on social media arguing about the word accepting,
00:03:26.160 because the Democrats say that Republicans are not accepting the result of the election.
00:03:34.960 They're not accepting it.
00:03:36.820 That's right.
00:03:37.640 They're not accepting the result of an election that is part of a process that's still in motion
00:03:44.040 and could end up with the opposite result.
00:03:47.280 But you, Republicans, you're not accepting.
00:03:50.460 You're not accepting the outcome of a process that hasn't finished.
00:03:57.280 So, what is wrong with you people that you do not accept that you can't see the future?
00:04:04.140 Are some of you so limited that you don't have the ability to foresee the future with certainty?
00:04:11.800 How do you not know that the ultimate outcome of all these legal challenges will be nothing at all?
00:04:18.100 Well, how do you not know, with all of your ESP and ability to see the future,
00:04:23.500 how do you not know that it's over already?
00:04:26.480 Or is it?
00:04:28.040 Or is it?
00:04:29.220 We'll talk about that.
00:04:32.200 One of the most interesting ideas that I've seen coming out of this election week
00:04:36.820 is that Trump should just declassify everything.
00:04:41.320 Just everything.
00:04:42.220 Now, when I say everything, it's not really everything,
00:04:46.040 because if it's military secrets, you don't want to declassify those.
00:04:50.260 But just in terms of what our government has done to us and for us for the past several decades,
00:04:57.100 including, you know, big stories from the past,
00:05:00.140 whether or not Trump can succeed in his challenges to the election,
00:05:07.180 wouldn't you like to see him just declassify everything?
00:05:10.340 Now, let me draw a picture for you of something that could happen.
00:05:15.520 You can put your own odds of it happening on here,
00:05:19.520 but I want to tell you it could happen.
00:05:22.400 Completely possible.
00:05:24.800 That Trump could declassify so much stuff
00:05:28.600 that it ends up half draining the swamp
00:05:32.320 with just one act of just declassifying a bunch of stuff.
00:05:36.760 Then suddenly the swamp is going to get a little smaller
00:05:40.020 when we find out what's in there.
00:05:42.440 At least that half of the swamp.
00:05:44.420 But the other thing that could happen,
00:05:46.480 and again, you can put your own odds on it,
00:05:48.920 if there are any Democrats watching this,
00:05:51.300 the odds you would put on the following thing would be zero.
00:05:54.860 Probably.
00:05:55.680 That would not be rational,
00:05:57.180 because everything has a little bit of a chance.
00:05:59.140 But you would probably say zero.
00:06:00.560 And Republicans might say a little higher chance
00:06:04.380 that the president will succeed
00:06:06.520 in showing that there was massive voter fraud.
00:06:11.140 Now, imagine if he did.
00:06:13.160 And again, I know Democrats are going to say,
00:06:15.220 that doesn't exist.
00:06:16.140 There's no evidence of massive widespread fraud.
00:06:19.880 We've been through this, Scott.
00:06:21.360 It's been studied many times.
00:06:24.020 Scott, oh, you know.
00:06:25.860 It's been studied many times.
00:06:28.440 There's no fraud.
00:06:29.380 But what if there were?
00:06:32.400 Just imagine with me.
00:06:35.040 Close your eyes.
00:06:36.180 Imagine the veins bulging.
00:06:37.720 Now, that's something else.
00:06:39.880 But just imagine that the president did these two things
00:06:43.760 and maybe even left office.
00:06:47.460 Right?
00:06:47.880 So we don't know how it all ends,
00:06:49.380 but suppose he did these two things,
00:06:52.520 declassified a whole bunch of stuff,
00:06:54.980 and then proved that the election was fraudulent
00:06:58.080 in some massive way.
00:07:00.340 Would you say,
00:07:02.060 no matter whether he stayed in office after that or not,
00:07:06.140 would you say that he did a lot to drain the swamp
00:07:09.300 with those two things?
00:07:10.640 Even if he doesn't end up prevailing,
00:07:14.800 and that's the end of his terms,
00:07:18.160 even then,
00:07:19.600 if he declassified everything
00:07:21.260 and also proved that there was major fraud,
00:07:24.200 maybe not enough to change the election?
00:07:26.340 Don't know.
00:07:27.620 But that would go a long way,
00:07:30.440 wouldn't it,
00:07:31.660 in terms of saying that he drained the swamp?
00:07:34.240 It doesn't fix all the money problems,
00:07:38.500 but it would certainly be a big bite out of it.
00:07:43.800 Here's what I think would be the most baller thing
00:07:46.580 that Trump could do.
00:07:49.180 I want to be very careful that you hear this next part.
00:07:52.640 He's not going to do this.
00:07:54.600 Right?
00:07:54.820 So what I'm going to describe next
00:07:56.400 is not a prediction.
00:07:58.220 It's not even a suggestion.
00:08:00.320 I'm just saying that if you're looking at
00:08:02.040 all the possible things that could happen,
00:08:05.000 here's one of them,
00:08:06.600 and it's a fun one,
00:08:07.680 and it goes like this.
00:08:09.540 Why is George Washington
00:08:11.360 so revered in our history and in our minds?
00:08:16.400 Well, a lot of reasons.
00:08:17.880 First president,
00:08:19.020 general for the Revolutionary War,
00:08:21.980 so he has lots of things
00:08:23.320 for which you would give him lots of credit.
00:08:26.420 But I would argue that in terms of his total myth,
00:08:29.640 the thing that makes George Washington
00:08:31.440 number one in our minds
00:08:33.840 is that he walked away from the presidency
00:08:37.560 when it was his to have.
00:08:41.100 In other words,
00:08:41.640 he served as one term,
00:08:43.480 and then easily he could have become
00:08:45.700 practically a dictator
00:08:47.240 because he had so much love and power
00:08:49.460 at that point
00:08:50.160 that if he wanted,
00:08:52.360 he could have turned the whole American experiment
00:08:55.380 into a dictatorship.
00:08:57.820 Now, some historians might disagree with me.
00:09:00.240 They always do.
00:09:01.940 But he's famous for walking away from power.
00:09:06.120 And that little model of behavior
00:09:08.780 became the model
00:09:11.220 which has rippled through time
00:09:12.960 to the point where
00:09:14.620 one of our most valued,
00:09:16.140 I guess, traditions
00:09:18.360 is the peaceful transfer of power
00:09:21.020 and also the fact
00:09:22.520 that we don't have dictators.
00:09:24.820 We have presidents,
00:09:25.640 and, you know,
00:09:26.820 you've got to go after a while.
00:09:28.520 It's four years.
00:09:29.340 It might be eight years,
00:09:30.100 but you've got to go.
00:09:31.520 That's not negotiable.
00:09:33.360 You've got to go sometime.
00:09:36.960 So there's this weird situation
00:09:38.680 which is formed
00:09:39.500 in which you can imagine
00:09:41.640 the following sequence of events.
00:09:43.620 Now, again,
00:09:44.640 you're not going to put necessarily
00:09:46.100 big odds on this happening,
00:09:48.480 but completely within the realm
00:09:50.860 of possible.
00:09:53.020 And it goes like this.
00:09:55.220 President Trump challenges the vote,
00:09:58.220 discovers that there is massive fraud,
00:10:00.980 and it reverses the election.
00:10:05.340 Let's say there's so much fraud.
00:10:07.100 Again, I know you think
00:10:08.540 that the odds of finding this
00:10:09.840 are really, really small and zero
00:10:11.880 if you're a Democrat,
00:10:12.720 but just work with me
00:10:14.880 until I complete the picture.
00:10:17.300 Let's say he does find massive fraud,
00:10:20.100 and it reverses the election.
00:10:22.480 He is inaugurated
00:10:24.060 as the new president
00:10:25.080 of the United States,
00:10:26.260 but he can see
00:10:27.260 that the country is on fire.
00:10:30.160 Could you imagine?
00:10:31.560 Could you imagine
00:10:32.340 what the Democrats would be doing
00:10:34.100 if after all this celebrating
00:10:36.280 and winning,
00:10:37.000 it got reversed by the courts?
00:10:39.140 Can you imagine?
00:10:41.000 Oh, the country would be
00:10:42.600 on fire,
00:10:44.140 even though the law
00:10:45.020 had been followed,
00:10:45.800 the Constitution
00:10:46.380 had been satisfied,
00:10:47.920 and in this hypothetical,
00:10:49.720 the president got fairly elected
00:10:52.240 after the legal system
00:10:54.380 fixed any alleged hypothetical frauds.
00:10:59.340 And then imagine the following.
00:11:01.360 The moment he's done
00:11:04.760 with his inauguration
00:11:05.760 for the second term,
00:11:07.460 he turns to Mike Pence
00:11:09.640 and says,
00:11:10.520 I resign.
00:11:12.600 I resign.
00:11:14.280 It's all you.
00:11:15.480 Because the things
00:11:16.680 that Trump has changed
00:11:18.340 could largely stay in place
00:11:20.860 under a President Pence.
00:11:23.420 But his personality
00:11:24.840 would be taken out of the fight,
00:11:26.940 and that would take
00:11:27.740 all the steam
00:11:28.440 out of the opposition.
00:11:29.980 And so the best thing
00:11:31.860 for Trump's legacy,
00:11:34.440 ironically,
00:11:35.460 might be to give up power.
00:11:37.320 But you can't give it up
00:11:39.120 until you have it.
00:11:40.860 So if he were to concede now,
00:11:42.640 that would look a little
00:11:43.620 quitter-ish, wouldn't it?
00:11:45.480 A little bit
00:11:46.080 exactly not why you
00:11:48.100 voted for him
00:11:48.860 in the first place
00:11:49.580 if he did.
00:11:50.640 If Trump conceded
00:11:52.420 without putting up
00:11:53.920 a hell of a fight,
00:11:55.720 he wouldn't be the guy
00:11:56.800 you wanted for the second term
00:11:58.160 anyway, would he?
00:11:59.400 Do you want a second-term
00:12:00.680 president who has no
00:12:01.700 fight left in him?
00:12:02.740 Right?
00:12:05.200 It solves itself.
00:12:06.740 If Trump didn't fight,
00:12:08.600 you also really
00:12:09.840 wouldn't want him
00:12:10.540 for your second-term president.
00:12:12.340 If he does fight,
00:12:13.960 well, he's the person
00:12:14.800 you elected
00:12:15.340 if you voted for him.
00:12:17.300 And if that fight
00:12:18.580 gets him into office,
00:12:19.700 well, that's exactly
00:12:21.360 why you voted for him.
00:12:23.020 Because he can fight,
00:12:24.280 and he has a pretty
00:12:25.520 good history of winning.
00:12:27.400 So imagine a President Pence
00:12:29.960 pardoning, or whatever
00:12:31.740 the right legal words are,
00:12:33.460 President Trump for all
00:12:34.780 current and future
00:12:36.120 legal problems
00:12:37.280 that arise
00:12:37.920 out of the presidency
00:12:38.800 or even before,
00:12:39.880 I suppose.
00:12:41.000 And then the president
00:12:41.920 with a clean slate
00:12:43.100 and a President Pence
00:12:45.060 who is maintaining
00:12:46.580 Trump's legacy.
00:12:48.800 Imagine President Trump
00:12:50.720 then retiring
00:12:51.720 and starting
00:12:53.520 his own media platform.
00:12:57.560 How successful
00:12:58.840 would a Trump
00:13:00.360 start-up
00:13:02.080 or maybe he buy
00:13:03.060 some existing property.
00:13:04.240 But if a Trump
00:13:05.500 media platform
00:13:06.740 arose
00:13:07.780 with a President Pence
00:13:09.920 so that Pence
00:13:11.800 had the full firepower
00:13:13.100 of the Trump
00:13:14.300 media organization
00:13:15.960 newly formed,
00:13:17.160 which would be
00:13:17.900 pure fire,
00:13:20.000 giving Pence
00:13:21.060 all the air support
00:13:22.400 he needed
00:13:22.860 to move things forward,
00:13:24.860 what would happen
00:13:28.020 to Trump's legacy?
00:13:31.140 It gets pretty close
00:13:32.580 to George Washington,
00:13:34.000 doesn't it?
00:13:35.220 If any of you remember
00:13:36.540 when Trump was first elected,
00:13:38.520 I very unpopularly said
00:13:40.600 he should really think
00:13:42.260 about being a one-term
00:13:43.680 president.
00:13:44.800 Because I think
00:13:45.460 the disruptors
00:13:46.400 work better
00:13:47.080 as one-term presidents.
00:13:48.800 Because they cause
00:13:49.740 so much disruption
00:13:50.800 that even as
00:13:52.200 they're fixing things,
00:13:53.920 there's also disruption.
00:13:56.580 And, you know,
00:13:57.160 maybe that's
00:13:58.320 by their nature
00:13:59.180 that should be
00:13:59.820 a limited time
00:14:00.680 engagement
00:14:01.200 because the country
00:14:02.660 can't take so much
00:14:04.520 psychic stress
00:14:07.240 to get things done.
00:14:09.100 So he got a lot done.
00:14:10.360 And if the things
00:14:11.480 that Trump
00:14:11.920 already got done
00:14:13.140 were simply
00:14:13.760 continued in some form,
00:14:15.800 it'd be a pretty
00:14:16.440 strong package
00:14:17.140 and he would be
00:14:17.980 the George Washington
00:14:19.180 of our time.
00:14:21.240 And his legacy
00:14:21.960 would be,
00:14:22.820 I think,
00:14:23.260 legitimately,
00:14:25.120 you know,
00:14:26.820 not that it would
00:14:27.320 happen in real life,
00:14:28.280 but I think he would
00:14:29.120 legitimately be
00:14:30.380 a,
00:14:31.640 one of the top five,
00:14:34.900 top five presidents
00:14:36.620 of all time.
00:14:37.700 So I think he would be
00:14:38.560 in the same conversation
00:14:39.520 with Washington
00:14:40.900 and,
00:14:41.660 you know,
00:14:43.580 Jefferson
00:14:43.940 and even Lincoln
00:14:45.880 if he walked away.
00:14:47.380 But,
00:14:48.200 like I say,
00:14:49.440 if he walked away,
00:14:51.420 I'm not sure
00:14:52.280 he would look like
00:14:53.020 the same president
00:14:53.840 you thought you wanted.
00:14:55.700 So don't expect
00:14:57.080 Trump to become
00:14:58.040 suddenly not Trump
00:14:59.160 at age 70,
00:15:00.260 whatever.
00:15:01.060 So it's not a prediction
00:15:02.280 nor is it a recommendation.
00:15:05.040 It's neither a prediction
00:15:06.100 nor a recommendation.
00:15:07.640 So when you later
00:15:08.580 mock me for being crazy,
00:15:11.480 just remember
00:15:12.280 you're mocking something
00:15:13.360 that didn't happen.
00:15:15.060 I didn't say
00:15:15.860 I recommend it.
00:15:16.980 I didn't say
00:15:18.280 it's likely to happen.
00:15:20.300 So there's nothing
00:15:21.500 to mock here, okay?
00:15:22.860 Put your own odds
00:15:23.840 on how likely it is
00:15:24.880 and then go home.
00:15:26.380 All right.
00:15:29.300 Here's a,
00:15:31.340 yeah,
00:15:31.580 there are a lot of
00:15:32.280 well-meaning people
00:15:33.460 are suggesting
00:15:34.980 that Trump
00:15:35.780 should concede.
00:15:37.180 I saw that
00:15:37.780 Piers Morgan said it.
00:15:39.260 He's been a big
00:15:39.980 Trump supporter
00:15:41.180 but also critic.
00:15:42.080 he does try
00:15:44.480 to at least
00:15:45.040 be reasonably
00:15:46.120 critical
00:15:47.400 and supportive
00:15:48.400 when it makes sense.
00:15:49.580 I'll give him that.
00:15:51.780 But now
00:15:52.540 Piers Morgan
00:15:53.080 says it's time
00:15:53.840 to concede.
00:15:55.400 Here's what
00:15:56.180 I say to
00:15:57.020 Piers Morgan.
00:15:58.900 Piers,
00:16:00.360 do you know
00:16:01.260 what President Trump
00:16:02.720 knows?
00:16:04.060 Because I don't
00:16:04.860 think you do.
00:16:06.060 I don't think
00:16:06.800 you do.
00:16:07.140 Do you think
00:16:09.020 that President Trump
00:16:10.040 has more
00:16:11.440 current information
00:16:12.720 than you and I do
00:16:14.000 about
00:16:15.360 the likelihood
00:16:16.740 of finding
00:16:17.540 massive fraud,
00:16:18.680 you know,
00:16:18.900 big enough
00:16:19.260 to really make
00:16:19.840 a difference?
00:16:20.700 I'm not talking
00:16:21.340 about the
00:16:21.880 hundred dead people
00:16:23.380 that allegedly
00:16:24.080 voted somewhere
00:16:24.900 and probably didn't.
00:16:26.320 I'm not talking
00:16:27.000 about the
00:16:27.540 alleged,
00:16:28.700 you know,
00:16:29.440 postal employee
00:16:30.200 who threw away
00:16:30.900 some ballots.
00:16:31.920 I'm not talking
00:16:32.340 about the little stuff.
00:16:34.300 Do you think
00:16:34.860 it's possible
00:16:35.580 that Trump
00:16:37.520 knows more
00:16:38.040 than we do
00:16:38.680 and that in,
00:16:40.320 let's say,
00:16:40.580 a week,
00:16:41.560 we might know
00:16:42.620 it too?
00:16:43.740 So I would say
00:16:44.840 that if the
00:16:45.320 President,
00:16:45.840 who clearly
00:16:46.400 knows more
00:16:47.000 than we do
00:16:47.700 about what's
00:16:48.700 coming,
00:16:49.940 if he's decided
00:16:50.880 to stay in it,
00:16:52.520 I say,
00:16:53.880 I think I want
00:16:54.680 to wait and see.
00:16:56.440 I think I'd
00:16:57.080 wait and see.
00:16:59.320 Now,
00:17:00.820 Tom Arnold
00:17:02.480 came over
00:17:03.020 to dunk
00:17:03.960 on me
00:17:04.320 on Twitter
00:17:05.240 and let
00:17:07.740 me read
00:17:08.200 his dunking
00:17:10.360 statement here.
00:17:11.980 So Tom Arnold
00:17:12.620 said to me
00:17:13.260 today,
00:17:14.180 he goes,
00:17:15.100 I bet
00:17:15.480 losing sucks, 0.89
00:17:16.740 Scott Adams,
00:17:17.700 but good lord,
00:17:18.800 man,
00:17:19.120 stop whining
00:17:19.840 and coming up
00:17:20.720 with crazy-ass, 0.63
00:17:21.840 nonsensical,
00:17:22.700 and stupidly 0.89
00:17:23.440 complicated excuses.
00:17:25.280 It's beneath you.
00:17:26.700 Maybe not,
00:17:27.800 but it is beneath
00:17:28.580 7.8 billion
00:17:29.940 other people.
00:17:31.060 America voted.
00:17:32.140 You lost.
00:17:32.840 put on your
00:17:33.740 big-boy panties
00:17:34.760 and congratulate
00:17:35.600 us.
00:17:37.300 Now,
00:17:37.720 first of all,
00:17:39.860 if I've taught
00:17:42.500 you anything,
00:17:43.500 it's that the
00:17:44.000 biggest illusion
00:17:45.180 in life
00:17:46.120 is that other
00:17:46.940 people think
00:17:48.340 and feel the
00:17:49.000 way you do.
00:17:50.500 I remember
00:17:51.280 when I was a
00:17:52.220 teenager,
00:17:52.900 and I would
00:17:53.300 have a crush
00:17:54.220 on some
00:17:54.780 teen girl,
00:17:56.300 and she wouldn't
00:17:57.060 like me back
00:17:57.940 the way I liked
00:17:58.820 her.
00:17:59.060 And I would
00:18:00.020 think,
00:18:00.440 well,
00:18:00.600 this doesn't
00:18:01.040 make sense.
00:18:02.400 She must
00:18:02.860 not understand
00:18:03.820 how much
00:18:05.080 I like her.
00:18:06.060 Because if she
00:18:06.600 knew,
00:18:07.980 she would like
00:18:08.620 me back
00:18:09.020 the same amount.
00:18:09.940 Isn't that
00:18:10.340 how it works?
00:18:11.780 When you're
00:18:12.360 a teenager,
00:18:13.120 you think,
00:18:13.860 well,
00:18:14.680 doesn't my
00:18:15.600 liking you
00:18:16.660 force you
00:18:18.260 to like me
00:18:18.840 back the same
00:18:19.560 way?
00:18:19.940 I'm confused.
00:18:21.320 I'm liking you,
00:18:22.280 nothing's coming
00:18:22.820 back,
00:18:23.280 why is this
00:18:23.940 not working?
00:18:25.380 And then,
00:18:26.420 eventually,
00:18:27.260 with maturity,
00:18:28.100 you learn,
00:18:29.060 that people
00:18:29.880 are so
00:18:30.260 different that
00:18:31.640 you can't
00:18:32.220 even often
00:18:32.900 even imagine
00:18:34.080 what they're
00:18:34.540 thinking.
00:18:35.520 Literally,
00:18:36.420 you can't
00:18:37.040 even imagine
00:18:37.700 it.
00:18:38.400 But,
00:18:39.100 in order for
00:18:39.900 us to
00:18:40.240 navigate life
00:18:41.020 and deal
00:18:41.360 with other
00:18:41.700 people,
00:18:42.500 it is necessary
00:18:43.300 for you to
00:18:43.900 make assumptions
00:18:44.560 about what
00:18:45.340 other people
00:18:45.800 are thinking.
00:18:46.920 Because you
00:18:47.280 couldn't operate
00:18:47.960 in life without
00:18:48.720 making assumptions
00:18:49.760 all day long
00:18:50.460 about what
00:18:50.880 people are
00:18:51.240 thinking.
00:18:51.800 It's just
00:18:52.280 that we're
00:18:52.580 not good
00:18:53.100 at it.
00:18:53.920 And that's
00:18:54.420 the illusion
00:18:54.940 of life.
00:18:55.980 You have
00:18:56.420 to do it,
00:18:57.680 because otherwise
00:18:58.200 you couldn't
00:18:58.800 deal socially.
00:19:00.040 But you're
00:19:00.780 terrible at it.
00:19:02.040 We're awful
00:19:03.120 at doing the
00:19:04.480 thing that we
00:19:04.960 have to do,
00:19:06.100 which is
00:19:06.500 imagining what
00:19:07.220 other people
00:19:07.640 are thinking.
00:19:08.740 So when I'm
00:19:09.300 watching Tom
00:19:10.980 Arnold and
00:19:11.560 other anti-Trumpers
00:19:13.880 come over and
00:19:14.780 try to dunk on
00:19:15.620 me, they usually
00:19:16.940 say something like
00:19:17.860 Tom Arnold said,
00:19:18.920 I bet losing
00:19:19.740 sucks.
00:19:20.760 And I'm reading
00:19:21.460 this tweet and
00:19:22.200 I'm thinking,
00:19:22.680 does it?
00:19:25.580 Let me check.
00:19:26.540 Let me see if
00:19:27.300 losing sucks.
00:19:28.840 So I went to
00:19:29.640 my stats and
00:19:31.920 I checked to
00:19:32.520 see, okay, my
00:19:33.380 locals subscriptions
00:19:34.880 are way up.
00:19:36.440 That's locals is
00:19:37.280 the platform I'm
00:19:38.400 on where I do
00:19:39.000 the stuff you
00:19:39.480 don't see here.
00:19:41.000 And okay,
00:19:42.460 so far that
00:19:43.160 looks good.
00:19:44.740 And then I
00:19:45.260 went over to
00:19:45.960 see how many
00:19:46.500 people watched
00:19:47.060 my live stream
00:19:48.120 yesterday.
00:19:49.260 Normally my
00:19:49.900 live stream would
00:19:50.680 get 50,000,
00:19:51.420 60,000 viewers.
00:19:53.520 Yesterday my
00:19:54.360 live stream had
00:19:55.240 a quarter million.
00:19:57.780 So I'm
00:20:00.800 getting five
00:20:02.560 times more
00:20:03.080 attention.
00:20:04.800 So that's
00:20:05.980 good.
00:20:07.140 What else should
00:20:08.020 I be unhappy
00:20:08.640 about?
00:20:09.060 Let me check
00:20:10.000 my stocks.
00:20:12.240 Holy shit.
00:20:14.140 Okay, I'm not
00:20:14.720 unhappy about my
00:20:16.840 stocks.
00:20:18.180 My net worth
00:20:19.260 just reached
00:20:20.040 its highest
00:20:21.400 point in my
00:20:22.180 life.
00:20:23.580 Literally today.
00:20:25.540 That's actually
00:20:26.700 a true statement
00:20:27.440 that today,
00:20:29.040 literally right
00:20:29.880 now, my net
00:20:30.840 worth reached
00:20:31.560 its highest
00:20:32.160 point.
00:20:33.500 Thank you,
00:20:34.340 President Biden.
00:20:35.560 Am I unhappy
00:20:36.760 yet?
00:20:38.280 I'm still
00:20:39.120 talking about
00:20:39.840 politics and
00:20:41.420 I'm not spending
00:20:42.320 a lot of time
00:20:43.000 excusing something
00:20:44.660 that Trump
00:20:45.480 tweeted, which
00:20:46.800 is never a fun
00:20:49.000 day anyway.
00:20:49.580 I can't find
00:20:51.940 the part where
00:20:52.520 I'm unhappy.
00:20:54.640 I wake up
00:20:55.980 for the last
00:20:56.580 several days and
00:20:57.460 I think, is
00:20:58.520 there going to
00:20:58.820 be some kind
00:20:59.420 of weird
00:20:59.860 depression sets
00:21:00.920 in?
00:21:01.280 Am I going to
00:21:01.740 wear a pussy 1.00
00:21:02.280 hat and yell
00:21:03.560 at the sky?
00:21:04.180 I'm not
00:21:05.680 going to
00:21:05.960 do it.
00:21:07.240 I'm not
00:21:07.860 going to
00:21:08.320 do it.
00:21:09.240 I'm not
00:21:09.680 going to
00:21:09.940 do it.
00:21:10.360 But it didn't
00:21:12.280 happen.
00:21:13.580 And I'm
00:21:14.180 thinking the
00:21:15.660 Democrats and
00:21:17.300 people on the
00:21:17.960 left are
00:21:19.100 suffering, I
00:21:20.420 think, a
00:21:22.120 sort of
00:21:22.640 universal
00:21:23.280 illusion that
00:21:26.540 the way they
00:21:27.240 felt when
00:21:28.340 Trump won
00:21:29.180 would be in
00:21:30.260 any way
00:21:30.800 similar to
00:21:32.360 the way
00:21:32.700 that we
00:21:33.100 would feel
00:21:33.640 if Trump
00:21:35.560 lost.
00:21:36.960 And it's
00:21:37.340 not.
00:21:38.020 It's not
00:21:38.720 even close,
00:21:39.280 is it?
00:21:40.440 Is it my
00:21:41.200 imagination
00:21:41.820 that the
00:21:44.660 Republicans,
00:21:45.480 the Trump
00:21:45.880 supporters,
00:21:46.540 are having
00:21:46.900 some kind
00:21:47.460 of a feeling
00:21:48.020 that I will
00:21:48.580 describe,
00:21:49.780 which is
00:21:50.320 disappointment,
00:21:52.000 right?
00:21:53.100 Disappointment.
00:21:54.100 But disappointment
00:21:54.940 is a normal
00:21:56.000 feature of life.
00:21:58.060 Disappointment
00:21:58.660 doesn't change
00:21:59.280 your life.
00:22:00.940 Disappointment
00:22:01.460 doesn't make
00:22:02.020 you go from
00:22:02.740 happy to
00:22:06.100 unhappy.
00:22:07.020 You get
00:22:07.680 disappointed all
00:22:08.380 day long.
00:22:09.360 What do
00:22:09.740 conservatives do
00:22:10.720 when things
00:22:11.240 don't work
00:22:11.780 out?
00:22:13.500 Blame
00:22:14.060 themselves,
00:22:15.280 right?
00:22:16.360 Isn't that
00:22:16.840 first?
00:22:17.680 The first
00:22:18.300 thing you do
00:22:18.760 is blame
00:22:19.160 yourself.
00:22:20.320 I could have
00:22:20.920 worked harder,
00:22:22.340 should have
00:22:23.080 tried to
00:22:23.840 convince more
00:22:24.500 people.
00:22:25.940 But also
00:22:26.600 you're looking
00:22:27.080 at the
00:22:27.860 details itself.
00:22:28.660 and saying,
00:22:29.280 well,
00:22:29.460 things would
00:22:29.860 have been
00:22:30.080 different if
00:22:30.640 this had
00:22:31.000 been different
00:22:31.400 and that
00:22:31.700 would be
00:22:32.020 different.
00:22:32.700 But that's
00:22:33.120 just a
00:22:33.740 hobby.
00:22:34.820 It's a
00:22:35.380 hobby to
00:22:36.680 look at
00:22:37.020 what happened
00:22:37.560 and say it
00:22:38.340 was because
00:22:38.760 of this
00:22:39.200 variable or
00:22:39.840 this variable
00:22:40.480 when in
00:22:41.360 fact it
00:22:41.880 was all
00:22:42.160 the variables.
00:22:43.620 But it's
00:22:44.120 just a
00:22:44.440 hobby to
00:22:44.920 say,
00:22:45.140 I think it
00:22:45.680 was that
00:22:46.000 one variable
00:22:46.620 that's the
00:22:47.040 one that
00:22:47.320 mattered.
00:22:48.840 Watch me
00:22:49.440 do it right
00:22:49.860 now.
00:22:51.320 I will now
00:22:52.180 do that
00:22:52.680 hobby where
00:22:53.940 I act as
00:22:54.640 though there
00:22:54.940 was one
00:22:55.340 variable that
00:22:56.060 was the
00:22:56.440 one that
00:22:56.800 mattered.
00:22:57.160 This is my
00:22:59.600 opinion, and
00:23:00.160 it's my real
00:23:00.620 opinion, by
00:23:01.100 the way.
00:23:01.980 If at any
00:23:02.620 time during
00:23:03.220 the election
00:23:03.840 cycle, President
00:23:05.340 Trump had
00:23:05.900 called a
00:23:06.400 press conference
00:23:07.080 and said,
00:23:07.720 look, I
00:23:08.460 just want to
00:23:09.000 settle one
00:23:09.640 thing.
00:23:09.980 Biden is
00:23:12.260 running his
00:23:12.720 campaign based
00:23:13.560 on the
00:23:14.000 fine people
00:23:14.700 hoax.
00:23:16.200 I want to
00:23:16.880 show you
00:23:17.240 the video
00:23:18.020 in front of
00:23:19.140 the world.
00:23:20.040 I want to
00:23:20.320 show you the
00:23:20.720 part that he
00:23:21.320 quotes, and
00:23:22.320 then I'm just
00:23:22.800 going to let
00:23:23.140 the video
00:23:23.620 play so you
00:23:24.880 can see the
00:23:25.380 part that the
00:23:25.960 fake news
00:23:26.540 doesn't show
00:23:27.160 you.
00:23:27.720 There's nothing
00:23:28.420 else I'm going
00:23:28.960 to talk about
00:23:29.520 today.
00:23:30.380 This is just
00:23:31.060 a press
00:23:31.460 conference to
00:23:32.680 show you that
00:23:33.840 this is the
00:23:34.380 alpha hoax and
00:23:35.800 it was never
00:23:36.280 true, and see
00:23:38.240 for yourself.
00:23:39.000 And then he
00:23:39.340 just plays it,
00:23:40.500 just stands
00:23:40.980 aside, and
00:23:42.060 just plays it.
00:23:43.180 And it gets
00:23:43.640 to the point
00:23:44.060 where he says,
00:23:45.040 without any
00:23:45.720 prompting, after
00:23:46.940 he said, find
00:23:47.580 people on both
00:23:48.180 sides, without
00:23:49.140 prompting, you
00:23:49.880 let the video
00:23:50.420 play, and he
00:23:50.820 goes, and I'm
00:23:51.700 not talking
00:23:52.360 about the
00:23:53.540 neo-Nazis and
00:23:54.380 the white
00:23:54.620 nationalists, they
00:23:55.340 should be
00:23:55.720 condemned totally.
00:23:57.460 And on that
00:23:58.280 sentence, he
00:23:59.460 should just turn
00:24:00.060 off the video,
00:24:01.480 look at the
00:24:02.000 crowd, and say,
00:24:03.160 all I'm asking
00:24:04.300 is that you put
00:24:06.060 a little bit of
00:24:06.680 scrutiny on your
00:24:07.900 own media
00:24:08.420 sources.
00:24:09.540 This lie is one
00:24:10.820 of the worst
00:24:11.300 lies in American
00:24:12.340 history, and you
00:24:13.680 bought it
00:24:14.180 completely, and
00:24:15.360 it probably
00:24:16.020 changed your
00:24:16.760 opinions about
00:24:17.480 the other
00:24:17.940 allegations against
00:24:19.040 me, and made
00:24:20.080 you think maybe
00:24:20.780 those are true.
00:24:22.000 Because if this
00:24:22.880 one was true, it
00:24:24.400 might influence
00:24:25.140 you on the other
00:24:25.820 ones, and people
00:24:27.060 are making a big
00:24:27.760 deal about this
00:24:28.480 one, so you feel
00:24:29.640 like this is true.
00:24:30.940 If at any time
00:24:31.880 the president had
00:24:32.800 simply made a
00:24:33.740 special press
00:24:34.560 conference just
00:24:36.420 about that,
00:24:37.900 just on that
00:24:39.120 one topic, and
00:24:40.360 didn't take
00:24:40.920 questions, this
00:24:42.200 is important,
00:24:43.340 don't take
00:24:44.460 questions, and
00:24:46.040 then just walked
00:24:46.760 off.
00:24:48.320 That video would
00:24:49.520 exist forever, and
00:24:50.740 all of his
00:24:51.180 supporters could
00:24:52.000 retweet it every
00:24:53.520 time somebody
00:24:54.060 brought up that
00:24:54.680 rumor, every
00:24:55.760 time Biden would
00:24:56.860 say it again, it
00:24:58.200 would be attached
00:24:58.880 on his social
00:24:59.620 media statement,
00:25:01.780 and everybody
00:25:02.420 would see the
00:25:03.020 debunk.
00:25:03.500 And of course
00:25:05.740 maybe CNN
00:25:06.560 doesn't show it,
00:25:07.320 but social media
00:25:08.020 would be strong
00:25:08.680 enough to get
00:25:09.900 it out.
00:25:10.780 Now it's one
00:25:11.340 thing when I
00:25:12.360 debunk it, or
00:25:14.240 Steve Cortez, or
00:25:15.840 Joel Pollack
00:25:16.540 debunks it, because
00:25:18.040 there's an
00:25:18.920 assumption that
00:25:19.580 we're sort of in
00:25:20.280 the tank for
00:25:21.660 Trump, and we
00:25:22.340 would just make
00:25:22.900 up anything.
00:25:23.860 That's what other
00:25:24.600 people would
00:25:25.060 imagine.
00:25:25.800 It's not true,
00:25:27.380 it's not even
00:25:27.900 close to true for
00:25:29.020 any of the three
00:25:29.620 of us, that we
00:25:30.540 would just make
00:25:31.100 something up to
00:25:31.980 win a point.
00:25:33.340 I don't think
00:25:34.140 the three of us
00:25:34.720 have ever done
00:25:35.300 that.
00:25:36.020 Just make
00:25:36.560 something up.
00:25:39.580 But if the
00:25:40.280 president had
00:25:40.860 done it and
00:25:41.560 treated it
00:25:42.060 seriously, he
00:25:42.860 wouldn't have
00:25:43.320 needed an
00:25:43.920 apology.
00:25:44.900 All he needed
00:25:45.540 was to debunk
00:25:46.420 that thing, and 0.98
00:25:47.220 he would be
00:25:47.920 easily re-elected,
00:25:49.320 even if there
00:25:49.960 was fraud.
00:25:50.840 I don't think
00:25:51.420 they could have
00:25:51.840 frauded it enough
00:25:52.600 to keep him
00:25:53.100 out of the
00:25:53.400 White House if
00:25:54.500 he'd done that
00:25:55.020 one thing, and
00:25:56.140 he didn't.
00:25:58.680 The other
00:25:59.340 thing that might
00:26:00.000 be good about
00:26:00.760 a Biden
00:26:01.940 presidency if
00:26:02.880 it comes to
00:26:03.420 that, and I
00:26:04.060 still don't
00:26:04.680 predict that
00:26:05.400 that's going
00:26:05.780 to happen.
00:26:06.740 But if it
00:26:07.160 did, and he
00:26:08.840 pursued the
00:26:10.640 rapid testing
00:26:11.660 that I've been
00:26:12.460 talking about
00:26:12.980 for a few
00:26:13.360 months.
00:26:14.120 Now the
00:26:14.440 rapid testing
00:26:15.200 is different
00:26:16.320 from the
00:26:16.880 really good
00:26:17.640 testing that
00:26:18.800 you might
00:26:19.160 have to have
00:26:20.260 a machine
00:26:20.780 for, an
00:26:22.020 actual device.
00:26:23.100 If you want
00:26:23.480 to get to
00:26:23.900 98% or
00:26:25.140 whatever, a
00:26:25.680 high level of
00:26:26.360 certainty, you
00:26:27.380 need a machine.
00:26:28.620 But you
00:26:29.320 could be about
00:26:29.820 80% sure that
00:26:31.200 you did or
00:26:31.720 did not have
00:26:32.400 coronavirus
00:26:32.860 infection with
00:26:34.400 these cheap
00:26:34.880 tests that
00:26:35.440 might cost a
00:26:36.360 dollar.
00:26:37.100 And the
00:26:37.320 idea is if
00:26:38.220 you massively
00:26:38.880 tested all
00:26:39.860 day long, not
00:26:41.140 all day long,
00:26:41.780 but let's say
00:26:42.200 every day, with
00:26:43.500 the not so
00:26:44.520 accurate tests,
00:26:46.000 but they only
00:26:46.440 cost a dollar,
00:26:47.680 you would get
00:26:48.620 enough of the
00:26:49.760 virus early
00:26:50.500 enough that
00:26:51.800 it would just
00:26:52.460 shut it down.
00:26:54.060 So you don't
00:26:54.560 have to get all
00:26:55.620 the tests right,
00:26:56.740 you have to get
00:26:57.500 80% of them
00:26:58.460 right and do
00:26:59.640 it a lot and
00:27:00.400 make it cheap
00:27:01.040 and make it
00:27:01.520 universally
00:27:02.040 available, and
00:27:03.280 then you just
00:27:03.720 close down the
00:27:04.380 virus.
00:27:05.060 Now, I and
00:27:05.700 lots of other
00:27:06.160 people have
00:27:06.580 been sort of
00:27:07.700 lobbying in
00:27:08.380 social media and
00:27:09.340 other ways to
00:27:10.540 see if the
00:27:11.120 White House
00:27:11.680 would pursue
00:27:13.340 that strategy,
00:27:14.500 and as far as
00:27:15.540 I know, they
00:27:15.940 didn't, as
00:27:17.520 far as I
00:27:17.940 know.
00:27:18.800 So if Biden
00:27:20.200 came in on
00:27:21.000 day one and
00:27:21.520 said, well,
00:27:22.080 look, this is a
00:27:23.500 strategy that
00:27:24.140 hasn't been
00:27:24.600 pursued, if
00:27:25.900 that's true, it
00:27:26.940 could be that it's
00:27:27.920 being pursued and
00:27:28.860 I don't know
00:27:29.420 about it, but
00:27:30.600 that would be a
00:27:31.860 problem in
00:27:32.200 itself, because
00:27:33.060 if it's being
00:27:33.620 pursued and I
00:27:34.380 don't know
00:27:34.720 about it, well,
00:27:35.680 that's a pretty
00:27:36.080 big mistake, just
00:27:37.660 that I don't
00:27:38.240 know about it.
00:27:39.000 They should be
00:27:39.480 telling the
00:27:39.860 public if they're
00:27:40.480 doing that.
00:27:41.240 So I'm assuming
00:27:41.820 they're not.
00:27:43.700 So if Biden
00:27:44.360 did, he would
00:27:46.060 actually get credit
00:27:46.900 for shutting down
00:27:47.800 the virus, and I
00:27:49.520 would be the first
00:27:50.180 one to give it to
00:27:50.840 him, because if he
00:27:52.820 did the thing that
00:27:53.660 I've been lobbying
00:27:54.320 for Trump to do
00:27:56.000 for months, and
00:27:57.860 it worked, I'm
00:27:59.300 not going to
00:27:59.740 ignore that.
00:28:01.060 You know what I
00:28:01.480 mean?
00:28:02.200 I'm not going to
00:28:02.800 ignore that.
00:28:04.440 Likewise, if Trump
00:28:05.640 wins re-election
00:28:06.600 through these court
00:28:09.900 cases or whatever,
00:28:11.160 and he did it, I'd
00:28:14.200 say it could have
00:28:14.780 been sooner, but I'm
00:28:16.580 glad he did it.
00:28:19.280 I'd like to get an
00:28:20.360 agreement from
00:28:21.060 Democrats in
00:28:21.880 advance.
00:28:22.740 See if he would
00:28:23.560 like this, too.
00:28:24.220 Can we get an
00:28:25.480 agreement from the
00:28:27.400 Democrats that in
00:28:28.700 the extraordinarily
00:28:30.160 unlikely situation,
00:28:32.860 according to them,
00:28:34.100 that the election
00:28:36.060 was reversed, and
00:28:37.800 it was done based
00:28:38.600 on data and facts
00:28:40.600 that everybody
00:28:41.500 could observe?
00:28:42.960 Let's say,
00:28:44.040 hypothetically, that
00:28:45.640 massive fraud was
00:28:46.760 discovered.
00:28:48.600 We haven't seen
00:28:49.700 this evidence yet,
00:28:50.840 but let's say it
00:28:51.600 was.
00:28:52.680 And let's say the
00:28:53.560 election is
00:28:54.120 reversed because
00:28:55.480 the fraud very
00:28:56.520 clearly, hypothetically,
00:28:59.260 shows that it
00:29:00.220 should have gone to
00:29:00.780 Trump in some key
00:29:01.940 places, and it's
00:29:02.840 enough to swing the
00:29:03.680 election.
00:29:04.680 Let's say that
00:29:05.300 happens.
00:29:06.540 Would you like to
00:29:07.400 get from Democrats
00:29:08.560 in advance, because
00:29:10.500 it should be free to
00:29:11.540 them to give this,
00:29:12.920 an agreement that if
00:29:14.320 it gets reversed,
00:29:16.660 that they will be
00:29:17.440 good sports, like I
00:29:20.780 am, and like many
00:29:22.620 of you are, wouldn't
00:29:24.020 you say that
00:29:24.800 Republicans, although
00:29:26.920 they'd still like to
00:29:27.960 see how the legal
00:29:29.120 process plays out,
00:29:30.480 that's just
00:29:30.900 reasonable, but
00:29:32.220 wouldn't you say
00:29:32.800 that Republicans
00:29:34.380 have largely been
00:29:35.400 good sports?
00:29:36.860 Can I make that
00:29:37.800 claim?
00:29:38.700 I would say we've
00:29:39.500 been good sports.
00:29:40.620 It's legitimate to
00:29:41.660 question the details
00:29:43.260 and look into whether
00:29:44.480 any fraud happened,
00:29:45.760 but that's kind of
00:29:46.420 separate.
00:29:47.960 Shouldn't you always
00:29:49.080 look into fraud?
00:29:49.940 It doesn't matter
00:29:51.400 who won.
00:29:52.220 You should sort of
00:29:53.000 always look into
00:29:53.700 that if it's real.
00:29:55.000 I mean, there's a
00:29:55.540 real claim of it.
00:29:58.740 So, anyway, let's
00:30:03.180 get the Democrats to
00:30:04.100 agree, because just
00:30:05.720 in case things go the
00:30:07.640 other way, wouldn't
00:30:08.500 you like to have them
00:30:09.360 on record saying,
00:30:10.880 you know, if it gets
00:30:14.740 reversed, the first
00:30:15.960 thing we're going to
00:30:16.540 do is ask Biden to
00:30:19.560 concede.
00:30:21.900 Is that not
00:30:22.720 reasonable?
00:30:23.620 Is it not reasonable
00:30:24.720 to ask the Democrats,
00:30:26.620 in the unlikely case
00:30:28.120 that this gets
00:30:28.800 reversed, that they
00:30:30.180 would immediately and
00:30:31.780 unambiguously go to
00:30:33.180 Biden and say, oh,
00:30:34.540 we have new
00:30:35.380 information, Biden,
00:30:37.100 you need to concede
00:30:38.040 right now.
00:30:38.760 That's fair, don't
00:30:40.540 you think?
00:30:41.340 You know, the
00:30:42.220 persuasion element of
00:30:44.040 this is if you can get
00:30:45.320 people to say
00:30:46.460 something publicly,
00:30:47.740 they're more likely
00:30:48.640 to stick to it, even
00:30:50.100 if they don't want
00:30:50.780 to.
00:30:51.540 So it's sort of a
00:30:52.580 strategy to get them
00:30:53.540 to stick to it.
00:30:55.120 Now, we're sort of
00:30:56.500 almost kind of
00:30:57.720 succeeding in that
00:30:59.280 strategy anyway.
00:31:01.100 Now, of course, it
00:31:01.680 doesn't matter if the
00:31:02.640 election turns out to
00:31:03.820 be verified and
00:31:05.300 goes on the way it
00:31:06.360 is.
00:31:07.060 But if it got
00:31:07.900 reversed, because we
00:31:09.520 found some fraud of
00:31:10.620 major scale,
00:31:12.220 hypothetically,
00:31:13.000 I think that the
00:31:17.420 Democrats have
00:31:18.100 already created a
00:31:20.020 norm and an
00:31:22.140 expectation that
00:31:23.740 once the vote
00:31:24.880 through the normal
00:31:26.420 legal process
00:31:27.500 looks like you
00:31:28.740 have a winner,
00:31:29.860 that it's time for
00:31:30.480 the other one to
00:31:31.040 concede.
00:31:32.400 So they've sort of
00:31:33.340 created that without
00:31:34.180 having to commit in
00:31:35.300 advance that they
00:31:36.300 would act that way
00:31:37.560 if things reversed.
00:31:38.900 They've simply acted
00:31:39.860 that way.
00:31:40.320 So they're a little
00:31:42.380 bit trapped already.
00:31:45.160 Biden wants a mask
00:31:46.860 mandate.
00:31:49.020 And, of course,
00:31:50.520 that's the thing that
00:31:51.240 gets conservatives
00:31:52.240 pretty fired up.
00:31:53.640 It's like, don't give
00:31:54.980 me no mandates.
00:31:56.220 I want some freedom.
00:31:57.700 But I'm trying to
00:31:58.580 think how that would
00:31:59.200 actually have any
00:32:00.240 effect on me.
00:32:01.700 What would I do
00:32:02.560 differently if there
00:32:04.300 were a mask mandate?
00:32:06.260 Because I live in
00:32:07.000 California.
00:32:07.540 California already
00:32:09.180 has mask requirements
00:32:10.940 basically everywhere
00:32:12.520 if I leave the
00:32:13.160 house, right?
00:32:14.640 So what's
00:32:15.320 different?
00:32:16.380 Is there some
00:32:17.120 state where they
00:32:17.980 have a big
00:32:18.520 coronavirus infection
00:32:19.760 and they're not
00:32:20.340 wearing masks?
00:32:21.520 I don't know the
00:32:22.320 details, but it
00:32:23.460 seems to me that
00:32:24.200 wherever the
00:32:24.840 infection looks like
00:32:26.880 it's a problem,
00:32:28.140 the locals pretty
00:32:29.480 soon say everybody
00:32:30.580 wear masks.
00:32:33.300 Somebody says,
00:32:34.300 the world doesn't
00:32:35.020 revolve around you,
00:32:36.760 Scott.
00:32:37.540 was there some
00:32:39.660 place during this
00:32:40.780 presentation that I
00:32:43.020 seem to suggest to
00:32:44.180 you, dear commenter,
00:32:46.140 that the world
00:32:47.180 revolves around me?
00:32:49.880 Did that happen?
00:32:51.740 Am I unaware that I
00:32:53.160 said something about
00:32:53.940 the world revolving
00:32:54.940 around me, directly
00:32:55.940 or indirectly?
00:32:57.400 Did that happen?
00:32:59.020 Or, or, is this
00:33:01.320 another one of those
00:33:02.140 cases where you
00:33:03.840 believe that I think
00:33:05.700 the way you do?
00:33:07.140 And that if you
00:33:07.980 were in my situation
00:33:09.120 right now and
00:33:10.680 said the things I
00:33:11.480 said and did the
00:33:12.300 things I did, do
00:33:13.780 you believe that I
00:33:15.440 would be thinking in
00:33:16.740 my internal private
00:33:17.920 thoughts that the
00:33:20.460 world revolves around
00:33:21.460 me?
00:33:22.460 Is that why you're
00:33:23.160 hallucinating?
00:33:24.740 Because I certainly
00:33:26.080 don't think the world
00:33:26.860 revolves around me.
00:33:28.420 That would be crazy
00:33:29.520 from top to bottom.
00:33:30.840 There's not even,
00:33:31.540 there's not even any
00:33:33.520 slight way that that
00:33:35.420 makes sense.
00:33:36.340 Indeed, I said
00:33:38.340 exactly the opposite,
00:33:40.020 which is that people
00:33:42.220 don't think like me,
00:33:43.380 which is the opposite
00:33:44.040 of that.
00:33:44.480 All right.
00:33:46.560 Enough of that.
00:33:48.560 So, to me, as a
00:33:51.000 persuader, and somebody
00:33:52.520 who cares about
00:33:53.200 persuasion, just sort of
00:33:54.740 as a hobby, if nothing
00:33:56.020 else, I am really,
00:33:58.540 really interested in
00:33:59.880 how the mainstream
00:34:00.760 media, the corporate
00:34:01.800 media, is creating a
00:34:04.980 persuasion bubble
00:34:06.220 around their people
00:34:07.980 and trying to get
00:34:09.340 that bubble around
00:34:10.160 you, too, in which
00:34:11.800 they're sort of setting
00:34:13.860 the table for
00:34:14.640 persuasion and building
00:34:16.380 a structure.
00:34:17.980 And it goes like
00:34:18.740 this.
00:34:19.000 There are several
00:34:19.480 parts to it.
00:34:21.540 I tweeted yesterday
00:34:22.900 a video that Van
00:34:24.660 Jones made, I guess,
00:34:26.200 maybe a few days
00:34:27.640 before the election.
00:34:29.500 And in the video,
00:34:30.980 Van Jones is warning
00:34:32.200 presumably Democrats,
00:34:34.200 because mostly Democrats
00:34:35.700 would be looking at
00:34:36.420 the video.
00:34:37.480 He is warning them
00:34:38.400 that Trump could try
00:34:40.260 some dirty tricks
00:34:41.560 with the Constitution.
00:34:43.920 And he could say
00:34:45.460 that the vote is
00:34:48.000 fraudulent.
00:34:49.360 That's happening.
00:34:50.540 He could say,
00:34:52.480 and perhaps there's a
00:34:54.580 way that the electors
00:34:56.880 in the electoral
00:34:57.440 college could also
00:34:59.020 believe that the vote
00:35:00.020 was not credible,
00:35:01.540 and then they might
00:35:02.260 be freed to vote
00:35:03.420 their conscience or
00:35:04.680 even their political
00:35:05.640 preference.
00:35:07.140 And then that would
00:35:08.180 make the election
00:35:09.320 kind of a moot point,
00:35:12.460 because at that point
00:35:13.140 it's the electors.
00:35:14.320 But if the electors
00:35:16.100 tried to do that,
00:35:17.540 I don't know the
00:35:18.480 details of this,
00:35:19.380 so maybe I might have
00:35:20.740 the legalities or
00:35:21.800 constitutional part wrong,
00:35:22.980 but I think it can
00:35:24.180 be kicked over
00:35:24.900 to the House.
00:35:27.820 Now this is what
00:35:28.620 Van Jones was
00:35:29.900 describing in it.
00:35:31.180 If it goes to the
00:35:31.980 House, there's an
00:35:33.380 oddity in the
00:35:35.260 historical way
00:35:36.120 that it was created
00:35:36.840 that each state
00:35:38.120 gets a vote as a
00:35:39.360 state, regardless
00:35:40.800 of their population
00:35:42.120 of the state.
00:35:43.820 And by coincidence,
00:35:44.940 although there is
00:35:45.580 more population
00:35:46.560 in blue states,
00:35:48.140 there are more
00:35:48.820 states that are
00:35:50.120 red and Republican.
00:35:53.880 So if I ever went
00:35:55.000 through that process
00:35:56.080 of an election
00:35:58.240 that had too many
00:35:58.960 questions,
00:36:00.220 goes to the
00:36:01.000 electoral college,
00:36:02.040 the electoral college
00:36:03.020 looks a little sketchy
00:36:04.120 too, because hey,
00:36:05.680 we don't like it
00:36:06.440 when they don't vote
00:36:07.220 the way the voters
00:36:07.960 went, but of course
00:36:09.260 they have a reason
00:36:09.960 this time, so
00:36:11.480 there's no right
00:36:12.280 answer, because the
00:36:13.700 electors do have
00:36:15.000 the constitutional
00:36:16.220 power, and there's
00:36:18.100 a reason for it.
00:36:19.040 The reason that
00:36:20.800 the electors can
00:36:21.680 ignore the vote
00:36:22.920 is because the
00:36:24.820 people who formed
00:36:25.720 the Constitution
00:36:26.700 aggressively wanted
00:36:28.660 it to be that way.
00:36:30.460 It's not an
00:36:31.420 accident.
00:36:32.420 It's not an
00:36:33.200 oversight.
00:36:34.520 It's not a
00:36:35.160 technicality.
00:36:36.820 It's the last
00:36:38.540 check on a
00:36:40.180 valid process.
00:36:42.400 It's the last
00:36:43.440 human being
00:36:44.460 ability to say
00:36:46.240 that didn't work.
00:36:47.480 We're going to
00:36:47.880 have to go to
00:36:48.620 Plan B, which
00:36:50.280 is the electors
00:36:51.020 are free to do
00:36:52.140 something that
00:36:52.640 makes sense for
00:36:53.200 the country,
00:36:53.780 ideally, in a
00:36:54.840 perfect world.
00:36:56.560 But Van Jones
00:36:57.460 describes this
00:36:58.800 potential situation
00:37:00.260 with the
00:37:02.520 assumption he was
00:37:03.420 making that there
00:37:04.100 was a good chance
00:37:04.900 that the election
00:37:06.160 would be deemed
00:37:07.080 fraudulent.
00:37:09.480 Now, what was it
00:37:10.380 that Van Jones
00:37:11.420 knew a week ago,
00:37:13.220 a week before
00:37:13.940 election?
00:37:14.380 What did Van
00:37:15.820 Jones know a
00:37:16.680 week before the
00:37:17.440 election that
00:37:18.600 would suggest to
00:37:19.340 him that the
00:37:20.140 outcome would be
00:37:21.360 considered fraudulent
00:37:22.740 by Republicans?
00:37:24.480 Is it that Van
00:37:26.400 Jones just knows
00:37:27.280 how Republicans
00:37:27.980 are?
00:37:29.240 And if it were
00:37:29.960 the other way,
00:37:31.520 it would probably
00:37:32.040 be this way, too.
00:37:33.200 So it could be
00:37:33.820 just a generic
00:37:34.620 statement that the
00:37:37.100 other political
00:37:37.900 party is always
00:37:38.960 going to question
00:37:39.600 the outcome and
00:37:40.620 whether it was
00:37:41.140 valid.
00:37:41.520 It could be
00:37:42.500 that.
00:37:43.440 Or, or, if
00:37:46.880 you thought that
00:37:47.480 that was coming,
00:37:48.540 would you make a
00:37:49.280 video about it?
00:37:50.800 Maybe.
00:37:51.920 Maybe.
00:37:52.580 Can't rule that
00:37:53.300 out.
00:37:54.540 But here's the
00:37:55.280 other explanation.
00:37:58.000 Do you think
00:37:58.800 that somebody who
00:37:59.620 is politically
00:38:00.360 connected as Van
00:38:02.000 Jones would be
00:38:03.640 aware of how
00:38:05.460 much fraud is
00:38:06.520 typical in a
00:38:07.940 normal election?
00:38:08.920 Forget about this
00:38:09.620 election.
00:38:09.960 Do you think
00:38:10.980 that Van
00:38:11.540 Jones is
00:38:12.500 connected enough
00:38:14.300 to how politics
00:38:16.420 is done at the
00:38:17.280 local level and
00:38:18.140 how elections are
00:38:18.980 held and what
00:38:20.300 Democrats may or
00:38:21.240 may not do in
00:38:22.140 urban areas?
00:38:23.260 Do you think
00:38:23.740 he's part of
00:38:25.440 the world where
00:38:27.680 he would know
00:38:28.720 for sure whether
00:38:30.720 there was a lot
00:38:31.460 of fraud on the
00:38:32.400 way?
00:38:33.240 I feel like he
00:38:34.480 would know that
00:38:36.220 there was fraud
00:38:36.940 coming.
00:38:37.420 Now, we
00:38:39.220 can't conclude
00:38:39.880 that.
00:38:40.300 We can't read
00:38:40.840 his mind.
00:38:41.460 We can't assume
00:38:42.660 that he knew
00:38:43.240 it.
00:38:44.000 But if I were
00:38:45.400 Van Jones and
00:38:46.680 I were that
00:38:47.160 connected to the
00:38:48.060 entire Democrat
00:38:49.520 machine, I
00:38:51.100 would certainly
00:38:51.640 know if it
00:38:52.280 were going to
00:38:52.780 be fraudulent
00:38:53.460 in advance.
00:38:54.840 Wouldn't you?
00:38:57.600 Yeah, I think
00:38:58.340 it was his TED
00:38:58.980 talk.
00:39:00.640 It had a little
00:39:01.520 TED notice on
00:39:02.680 it.
00:39:02.780 So I think
00:39:03.080 it was a TED
00:39:03.540 talk.
00:39:05.640 And I feel
00:39:08.540 that, so this
00:39:10.280 is speculation
00:39:11.200 because, again,
00:39:12.160 I can't read
00:39:12.840 anybody's minds.
00:39:13.820 I can't read
00:39:14.220 Van Jones'
00:39:14.820 minds.
00:39:15.520 But it looked
00:39:16.020 to me like
00:39:17.080 Democrats were
00:39:18.500 worried that
00:39:19.480 there would be
00:39:20.120 fraud and that
00:39:21.400 it would be
00:39:22.000 detected because
00:39:23.500 it would have to
00:39:24.000 be kind of big
00:39:24.760 to change the
00:39:25.480 election.
00:39:26.500 And that the
00:39:28.740 Trump supporters
00:39:29.420 would use the
00:39:30.260 legal process,
00:39:31.360 which is
00:39:32.380 freeing the
00:39:32.940 electors,
00:39:33.760 maybe taking
00:39:34.400 it to the
00:39:35.000 House of
00:39:36.020 Representatives,
00:39:36.960 and that the
00:39:38.140 logical path
00:39:39.400 there would be
00:39:39.940 a Trump
00:39:40.380 re-election
00:39:41.300 because there
00:39:42.300 are more
00:39:42.600 Republican
00:39:43.100 states.
00:39:45.060 So is it
00:39:47.140 possible that
00:39:47.780 Van Jones was
00:39:48.940 laying down
00:39:49.880 suppressive
00:39:50.540 fire,
00:39:52.420 persuasion
00:39:53.020 suppressive
00:39:54.000 fire, so
00:39:57.440 that if we
00:39:58.720 got to the
00:39:59.260 situation, and
00:40:00.300 we did,
00:40:01.360 Van Jones
00:40:02.260 called it
00:40:02.840 100%, here
00:40:04.180 we are, if
00:40:05.520 we got to
00:40:05.940 this position
00:40:06.520 that the
00:40:07.120 Democrats would 0.89
00:40:07.900 already have
00:40:08.420 their story.
00:40:09.920 And here's the
00:40:10.500 story which he
00:40:12.340 is presenting
00:40:13.000 to them, that
00:40:14.360 if the
00:40:14.760 Constitution were
00:40:15.840 to be followed
00:40:16.600 as I just
00:40:17.600 described,
00:40:20.980 if the
00:40:22.980 Constitution
00:40:23.620 were to be
00:40:24.780 followed as
00:40:25.520 I described,
00:40:26.840 it would be
00:40:27.580 followed both
00:40:28.760 the letter
00:40:29.320 and the
00:40:31.060 intent.
00:40:32.340 So I would
00:40:32.840 say that if
00:40:33.560 that happened
00:40:34.120 the way Van
00:40:35.780 Jones describes
00:40:36.580 it, it would
00:40:37.620 not be a case
00:40:38.500 of following the
00:40:39.880 technical letter
00:40:41.020 of the law at
00:40:42.580 the expense of
00:40:43.440 the intention of
00:40:44.360 the law.
00:40:45.320 It wouldn't be
00:40:46.020 that.
00:40:47.040 It would be
00:40:47.540 following the
00:40:48.080 letter of the
00:40:48.560 law, exactly the
00:40:50.340 reason it was
00:40:50.980 written that way,
00:40:52.280 in case this
00:40:53.220 situation comes
00:40:54.140 up, where you
00:40:55.320 can't quite trust
00:40:56.700 the election.
00:40:57.760 That's why it's
00:40:58.480 there.
00:40:59.280 That's the
00:40:59.700 point.
00:41:00.600 That's the
00:41:01.040 whole point.
00:41:02.620 It is the
00:41:03.120 most, I
00:41:05.400 don't know if
00:41:05.660 you can say
00:41:05.940 most, but it's
00:41:06.860 the most
00:41:07.220 credible part
00:41:09.220 of the
00:41:09.460 Constitution.
00:41:10.880 It's not an
00:41:11.820 accident.
00:41:13.060 It's not a
00:41:13.680 weird technicality.
00:41:15.600 It's there for
00:41:16.620 a really, really
00:41:17.580 important reason,
00:41:18.680 and it says
00:41:19.340 what it means
00:41:20.020 to say, and
00:41:22.020 it matters.
00:41:23.960 How did
00:41:24.680 Van
00:41:25.160 Jones decide
00:41:26.160 to word
00:41:28.000 this thing
00:41:29.100 that I just
00:41:29.600 worded, that's
00:41:30.620 normal, important,
00:41:32.840 intended, and
00:41:34.400 clear?
00:41:36.400 He tried to
00:41:37.500 reframe that as
00:41:38.540 a coup.
00:41:41.020 That if you
00:41:41.800 followed the
00:41:42.380 election process
00:41:43.440 exactly the way
00:41:44.540 it's written, and
00:41:45.660 it turned out that
00:41:46.400 that put Trump
00:41:47.080 in office, you
00:41:48.220 would call that
00:41:48.720 a coup.
00:41:50.980 That's pretty
00:41:51.780 ballsy, isn't
00:41:52.480 it?
00:41:53.240 And that it
00:41:54.100 would be a
00:41:54.780 weird, like
00:41:55.820 a technical
00:41:56.860 oddity and
00:41:58.840 a trick.
00:42:00.080 It would be a
00:42:00.720 dirty trick.
00:42:02.360 He's actually
00:42:03.140 persuading, and
00:42:05.160 I'm not using
00:42:05.740 that phrase the
00:42:07.200 way it's supposed
00:42:07.680 to be used, but
00:42:08.640 you know what I
00:42:09.060 mean.
00:42:09.260 He's persuading
00:42:10.060 in advance so
00:42:12.860 that the entire
00:42:13.880 media will form
00:42:15.500 around this
00:42:16.140 narrative.
00:42:17.320 And this
00:42:17.780 narrative could
00:42:18.980 actually create
00:42:19.920 this situation
00:42:20.720 where you have
00:42:21.920 two presidents.
00:42:23.560 One that Fox
00:42:24.560 News says is
00:42:25.620 Trump.
00:42:26.800 Let's say he
00:42:27.500 got success in
00:42:30.780 his legal process.
00:42:32.540 And CNN will
00:42:33.580 say none of it
00:42:34.720 happened because
00:42:36.480 they followed a
00:42:37.600 trick.
00:42:38.720 And it's just
00:42:39.180 sort of a
00:42:39.880 technical trick,
00:42:41.140 but really Biden
00:42:42.440 is the president
00:42:43.180 because we can
00:42:44.180 just ignore that
00:42:45.020 technical trick.
00:42:45.980 Now, when I
00:42:48.440 told you that
00:42:49.220 we would
00:42:49.580 eventually have
00:42:50.220 two presidents,
00:42:51.420 at least in
00:42:52.040 terms of
00:42:52.580 persuasion-wise,
00:42:53.780 not legally,
00:42:54.880 we are heading
00:42:56.280 there really
00:42:56.940 quickly.
00:42:58.460 This might be
00:42:59.440 among my
00:43:00.900 greatest predictions
00:43:02.260 if it comes
00:43:03.660 through.
00:43:04.380 We don't know.
00:43:05.400 Democrats say
00:43:06.040 no chance.
00:43:07.220 Republicans say
00:43:08.020 maybe.
00:43:09.100 And I tell
00:43:09.700 you this.
00:43:11.560 There's a better
00:43:12.060 chance than
00:43:12.540 you think.
00:43:13.020 that's all
00:43:16.340 you need to
00:43:16.820 know.
00:43:17.900 Let me just
00:43:18.620 tell you that
00:43:20.060 the odds of
00:43:21.240 Trump mounting
00:43:22.780 a successful
00:43:23.960 rebuttal to
00:43:27.000 the election
00:43:27.560 outcome is
00:43:29.760 way better than
00:43:30.400 you think.
00:43:31.960 It's way better
00:43:32.920 than you think.
00:43:34.480 And if you're
00:43:35.640 saying, but I've
00:43:36.600 seen all the
00:43:37.140 evidence and
00:43:38.000 it's not
00:43:39.340 persuading
00:43:40.300 anybody yet,
00:43:41.820 I would say,
00:43:42.480 no, you
00:43:43.400 haven't.
00:43:44.960 No, you
00:43:45.860 haven't.
00:43:46.700 You have not
00:43:47.460 seen all of
00:43:48.400 the evidence.
00:43:49.440 You might.
00:43:50.780 I'll give it
00:43:51.460 a week.
00:43:52.680 If next week
00:43:53.900 at this time
00:43:54.740 you have seen
00:43:55.940 no more
00:43:56.420 evidence than
00:43:57.140 you've already
00:43:57.700 seen, then I
00:43:59.080 think it would
00:43:59.480 go exactly the
00:44:00.320 way the
00:44:00.880 Democrats are
00:44:02.420 saying.
00:44:03.400 I think that
00:44:04.120 if nothing
00:44:04.660 else comes
00:44:05.240 out, all
00:44:06.920 you know is
00:44:07.500 what you know
00:44:08.000 right now,
00:44:10.120 President-elect
00:44:10.920 Biden becomes
00:44:11.840 President
00:44:12.720 Biden.
00:44:13.760 But what
00:44:14.440 are the
00:44:14.740 odds, do
00:44:16.560 you think,
00:44:17.140 that in the
00:44:17.740 next week
00:44:18.600 or so, you
00:44:21.040 won't find
00:44:21.700 out something
00:44:23.300 big that you
00:44:25.400 didn't know
00:44:25.920 before?
00:44:27.000 What are the
00:44:27.640 odds of that?
00:44:28.880 Well, you'll
00:44:30.540 have different
00:44:30.960 opinions on
00:44:31.540 that, but it
00:44:32.000 kind of comes
00:44:32.400 down to that.
00:44:33.040 Now here's the
00:44:33.520 next part of
00:44:34.320 the persuasion
00:44:38.060 bubble that's
00:44:38.940 being formed
00:44:39.660 around this
00:44:40.640 election outcome.
00:44:41.920 Jake Tapper,
00:44:43.080 he tweeted
00:44:44.660 this.
00:44:45.580 He said,
00:44:46.040 sources close
00:44:46.780 to POTUS
00:44:47.360 tell me he's
00:44:48.280 being urged by
00:44:49.340 Jared Kushner
00:44:50.240 and Rudy
00:44:50.600 Giuliani and
00:44:51.340 campaign advisor
00:44:52.240 Jason Miller
00:44:52.900 to hold rallies
00:44:54.140 throughout the
00:44:54.620 U.S.
00:44:54.960 pushing for
00:44:55.520 recounts of
00:44:56.080 votes.
00:44:56.960 Dave Bossie
00:44:57.640 and White
00:44:58.200 House Chief
00:44:58.700 of Staff
00:44:59.160 Mark Meadows
00:44:59.780 are urging
00:45:00.660 the president
00:45:01.240 to think
00:45:01.800 about a
00:45:02.220 concession.
00:45:03.820 So that's
00:45:04.300 what Jake
00:45:04.740 Tapper reports
00:45:06.040 as the
00:45:06.880 news.
00:45:08.060 Immediately
00:45:08.400 after he
00:45:09.280 tweets that,
00:45:11.200 David Bossie,
00:45:12.120 who is in
00:45:12.800 Tapper's tweet,
00:45:14.820 and Tapper
00:45:16.020 is saying that
00:45:16.500 David Bossie
00:45:17.160 is talking to
00:45:17.800 the president
00:45:18.220 about concession,
00:45:19.920 David Bossie
00:45:20.640 has a different
00:45:21.240 view and
00:45:22.320 says,
00:45:23.420 hey, fake
00:45:23.920 news guy,
00:45:24.760 somebody
00:45:25.660 rolled you.
00:45:26.940 You should
00:45:27.220 have reached
00:45:27.520 out, but
00:45:28.280 wouldn't fit
00:45:28.760 your narrative.
00:45:31.460 How much
00:45:32.280 do you love
00:45:32.740 the fact that
00:45:33.560 the news
00:45:34.160 can report
00:45:34.780 the news
00:45:35.420 and then
00:45:36.240 the debunk
00:45:36.960 of the news
00:45:37.480 from the
00:45:37.900 very person
00:45:38.480 who was
00:45:38.820 in the
00:45:39.120 news story
00:45:39.700 can happen
00:45:41.000 within one
00:45:41.780 minute and
00:45:42.460 be posted
00:45:43.140 right next
00:45:43.820 to the
00:45:44.280 fake news?
00:45:45.840 That's kind
00:45:46.260 of cool.
00:45:47.500 Now,
00:45:48.740 who do you
00:45:49.740 believe?
00:45:50.220 Do you believe
00:45:50.680 Jake Tapper
00:45:51.360 and his
00:45:51.880 sources that
00:45:53.320 people are
00:45:53.760 trying to
00:45:54.160 talk the
00:45:54.580 president
00:45:54.920 into quitting?
00:45:57.480 Or do you
00:45:58.140 believe the
00:45:58.520 guy whose
00:45:58.960 job it is,
00:45:59.940 who's right
00:46:00.760 in the middle
00:46:01.180 of all of
00:46:01.740 this,
00:46:02.360 who says,
00:46:02.960 ah,
00:46:03.280 no,
00:46:03.580 you got
00:46:03.840 rolled,
00:46:04.280 nothing like
00:46:04.720 that's
00:46:04.980 happening?
00:46:06.160 Let me
00:46:06.780 give you
00:46:07.200 some insider
00:46:08.320 information that
00:46:09.240 I have
00:46:09.580 myself.
00:46:10.600 Okay?
00:46:11.640 Now,
00:46:11.820 I don't like
00:46:12.200 to do this.
00:46:13.860 I don't do
00:46:14.660 it often.
00:46:15.820 But sometimes
00:46:16.580 I know things
00:46:17.480 that you don't
00:46:17.980 know.
00:46:19.440 And I will
00:46:20.240 tell you that
00:46:20.960 I know from
00:46:22.880 sources that
00:46:24.200 at the very
00:46:25.120 least,
00:46:26.720 Rudy Giuliani
00:46:27.720 is not talking
00:46:28.760 to the president
00:46:29.320 about quitting.
00:46:30.800 I'll just leave
00:46:31.680 you with that one.
00:46:32.460 So I
00:46:33.240 can't speak
00:46:34.320 to any
00:46:34.880 of the
00:46:35.080 other
00:46:35.280 characters
00:46:35.780 who are
00:46:36.200 mentioned
00:46:36.520 here.
00:46:37.740 David
00:46:38.000 Bossie
00:46:38.420 speaks for
00:46:39.020 himself and
00:46:39.640 says that
00:46:40.040 at least
00:46:40.380 the part
00:46:40.700 about him
00:46:41.160 is not
00:46:41.540 true.
00:46:42.580 And I
00:46:42.820 would add
00:46:43.420 to that
00:46:43.880 that based
00:46:46.300 on what
00:46:46.660 I've heard
00:46:47.160 and I
00:46:47.540 believe it,
00:46:48.500 Rudy Giuliani
00:46:49.420 is definitely
00:46:50.080 not urging
00:46:50.740 the president
00:46:51.260 to quit.
00:46:52.720 I don't even
00:46:53.300 think that's
00:46:53.880 close to
00:46:54.720 anything.
00:46:55.900 So there's
00:46:56.440 your fake
00:46:56.760 news.
00:46:57.040 So part
00:46:57.840 two of
00:46:58.600 the attempt
00:46:59.840 to persuade
00:47:00.860 Biden into
00:47:01.660 the White
00:47:01.980 House no
00:47:02.420 matter what
00:47:02.840 the vote
00:47:03.180 is would
00:47:04.080 be the
00:47:04.400 media simply
00:47:06.180 telling you
00:47:07.220 that everybody
00:47:07.780 is telling
00:47:08.180 the president
00:47:08.720 he should
00:47:09.200 resign.
00:47:10.540 Because if
00:47:11.180 you hear
00:47:11.560 that Democrats
00:47:12.880 say the
00:47:14.100 president should
00:47:14.700 concede not
00:47:15.340 resign, if
00:47:16.100 you hear that
00:47:16.520 Democrats say
00:47:17.580 Trump should
00:47:18.420 concede, you
00:47:19.640 process that as
00:47:20.600 just blah,
00:47:21.200 blah, blah
00:47:21.600 politics.
00:47:22.860 If you hear
00:47:23.780 that an
00:47:24.660 important Republican
00:47:25.700 senator, and
00:47:27.120 this has
00:47:27.680 happened, has
00:47:28.760 congratulated
00:47:29.680 Biden and
00:47:30.540 or urged the
00:47:31.780 president to
00:47:32.680 concede, that
00:47:34.960 means a little
00:47:35.540 bit more,
00:47:36.180 doesn't it?
00:47:36.620 But it's still
00:47:37.000 not the
00:47:37.340 president.
00:47:38.580 And if the
00:47:40.000 fake news can
00:47:40.760 convince you that
00:47:41.660 the inner circle
00:47:42.620 around the
00:47:43.120 president are
00:47:44.200 all telling him
00:47:44.960 to concede,
00:47:46.540 wouldn't that
00:47:47.160 tell you that
00:47:47.860 you should say
00:47:48.520 that too?
00:47:49.900 And then if
00:47:50.880 you could get
00:47:51.360 all of the
00:47:51.940 Republicans to
00:47:52.780 think it,
00:47:53.380 because hey,
00:47:54.380 after all,
00:47:54.920 his inner circle
00:47:55.680 even thinks
00:47:56.280 it, which
00:47:58.340 is probably
00:47:58.680 not true,
00:47:59.860 then you
00:48:00.680 can persuade
00:48:01.440 away all of
00:48:02.560 the energy
00:48:03.200 from Republicans.
00:48:05.620 And so part
00:48:06.200 of this
00:48:06.480 persuasion is
00:48:07.240 to first,
00:48:08.140 to set up
00:48:08.760 that if they
00:48:09.380 have a
00:48:09.680 successful
00:48:10.180 defense that
00:48:11.500 the Constitution
00:48:12.120 would back
00:48:12.860 100%, that
00:48:14.360 that's called
00:48:14.860 a trick and
00:48:16.000 a coup, and
00:48:17.360 that everybody
00:48:17.860 will say that
00:48:18.500 on the
00:48:18.740 Democrat side.
00:48:19.760 Then secondly,
00:48:21.220 tell the
00:48:21.640 story, it's
00:48:22.080 fake news,
00:48:22.880 but tell the
00:48:23.860 story that
00:48:24.300 everybody, even
00:48:24.920 the ones
00:48:25.280 close to
00:48:25.900 the president,
00:48:26.860 the people
00:48:27.300 who know
00:48:27.780 the most,
00:48:29.100 right?
00:48:29.760 Don't you
00:48:30.360 imagine that
00:48:31.020 Jared Kushner
00:48:31.980 probably knows
00:48:33.560 close to 100%
00:48:35.260 of what the
00:48:36.860 president also
00:48:37.740 knows about
00:48:38.440 this situation,
00:48:39.440 wouldn't you
00:48:39.860 think?
00:48:40.600 At least the
00:48:41.180 two of them
00:48:41.640 would be on
00:48:42.020 the same page.
00:48:42.680 so if it
00:48:45.200 were true that
00:48:46.580 Jared Kushner
00:48:47.320 looking at
00:48:47.860 the same
00:48:48.420 information as
00:48:49.180 the president
00:48:49.700 believed that
00:48:50.880 the president
00:48:51.300 should concede,
00:48:53.240 shouldn't you?
00:48:54.740 Right?
00:48:55.380 Now you and I
00:48:56.180 feel like we
00:48:56.820 don't have all
00:48:57.340 the information,
00:48:58.620 but Jared Kushner
00:48:59.920 has all the
00:49:00.480 information,
00:49:01.940 so if he
00:49:03.740 thinks the
00:49:04.260 president should
00:49:04.900 concede,
00:49:06.740 shouldn't you?
00:49:07.340 So that's the
00:49:08.620 persuasion play
00:49:09.320 that's happening
00:49:09.860 right now,
00:49:10.420 and it is
00:49:11.520 almost certainly
00:49:12.760 a complete lie
00:49:14.200 that the
00:49:14.880 insiders are 1.00
00:49:16.240 convincing the
00:49:17.420 president to
00:49:18.020 concede.
00:49:18.780 I do think it's
00:49:19.800 true that they've
00:49:21.240 planned it both
00:49:22.040 ways, right?
00:49:24.100 Wouldn't you at
00:49:24.720 least plan what it
00:49:25.740 looks like if you
00:49:27.120 had to go that
00:49:27.780 way?
00:49:28.300 So look for the
00:49:29.840 difference in the
00:49:30.420 reporting of the
00:49:31.320 president has
00:49:31.920 decided this versus
00:49:34.020 people are just
00:49:35.580 getting ready for
00:49:36.380 either eventuality.
00:49:38.280 Of course you
00:49:38.900 would get ready,
00:49:40.380 of course you
00:49:41.080 would plan for
00:49:42.180 both outcomes.
00:49:46.560 All right.
00:49:48.660 Here's what I
00:49:49.580 think is generally
00:49:51.180 true.
00:49:51.860 I think you need
00:49:52.620 different presidents
00:49:53.440 at different times
00:49:54.820 and for different
00:49:56.780 reasons.
00:49:57.900 I think that Trump
00:49:59.040 was the perfect
00:49:59.900 president for a
00:50:01.180 lot of international
00:50:02.040 stuff that he
00:50:02.800 succeeded.
00:50:03.280 with Israel,
00:50:04.660 the Middle
00:50:04.940 East.
00:50:05.460 I think he was
00:50:05.940 the right person
00:50:06.580 to push NATO
00:50:09.860 to fund.
00:50:10.840 I think he was
00:50:11.360 the right person
00:50:12.000 to deal with
00:50:13.380 Kim Jong-un.
00:50:14.640 So there are a
00:50:15.380 whole bunch of
00:50:15.780 things that fall
00:50:17.180 into the category
00:50:18.000 of only Trump
00:50:19.080 could have done
00:50:19.700 them.
00:50:20.640 But then there's
00:50:21.440 this other
00:50:21.900 category of stuff
00:50:23.220 that maybe Trump
00:50:24.800 is the only one
00:50:25.440 who can't get it
00:50:26.200 done because of
00:50:27.900 history and
00:50:28.700 personality and
00:50:29.760 anything else.
00:50:31.020 So there may be
00:50:31.820 some things that
00:50:34.520 Biden can simply
00:50:35.540 do that a
00:50:36.300 President Trump
00:50:36.920 couldn't do.
00:50:38.440 And one of them
00:50:39.440 would be these
00:50:40.120 rapid test strips.
00:50:41.500 Because I would
00:50:42.060 imagine that
00:50:42.560 President Trump
00:50:43.260 was not crazy
00:50:45.100 about having
00:50:46.720 all kinds of
00:50:47.640 extra testing.
00:50:48.960 And maybe that
00:50:49.480 was part of why
00:50:50.220 we didn't see
00:50:50.840 the cheap test
00:50:51.860 strip thing. 0.98
00:50:52.280 So if Biden
00:50:53.420 could do that
00:50:54.420 and make it
00:50:56.400 work, and
00:50:57.800 let's say it's
00:50:58.640 spring and
00:50:59.260 between our
00:50:59.920 vaccines and
00:51:01.260 our rapid
00:51:01.700 testing we've
00:51:02.880 got on top of
00:51:03.600 the coronavirus,
00:51:05.720 I would give
00:51:06.540 him some credit.
00:51:07.540 No doubt about
00:51:08.340 it.
00:51:10.460 And that
00:51:11.360 is what I
00:51:13.460 think I wanted
00:51:13.960 to talk about.
00:51:16.220 Oh, yeah,
00:51:17.900 no, one other
00:51:18.660 thing.
00:51:18.940 So Politico
00:51:20.780 is reporting
00:51:21.480 if you see my
00:51:22.680 cat's tail walk
00:51:23.640 by, she's
00:51:25.000 doing a walk
00:51:25.480 by, okay.
00:51:28.460 So Politico
00:51:29.440 is reporting
00:51:30.140 that Biden's
00:51:30.760 team is
00:51:31.100 considering
00:51:31.580 picking the
00:51:32.840 former
00:51:33.300 president of
00:51:34.300 the nation's
00:51:35.020 largest
00:51:35.400 teachers union
00:51:36.720 to be the
00:51:37.740 education
00:51:38.200 secretary.
00:51:40.580 Now, what's
00:51:41.380 that tell you?
00:51:42.460 If you believe,
00:51:43.600 as I do,
00:51:44.180 that the
00:51:44.700 biggest cause
00:51:46.000 of systemic
00:51:46.900 racism is
00:51:48.080 that the
00:51:48.380 education
00:51:48.920 system is
00:51:49.840 broken and
00:51:51.260 it's most
00:51:51.960 broken for
00:51:52.700 people at
00:51:53.180 the low
00:51:53.540 end of the
00:51:54.080 economic
00:51:54.720 ladder, and
00:51:56.820 that tends
00:51:57.700 to be,
00:51:58.180 unfortunately,
00:51:59.140 a lot of
00:52:00.020 black people
00:52:00.580 in that
00:52:01.080 category and
00:52:01.960 other people
00:52:02.880 of color,
00:52:03.860 that if the
00:52:05.060 school system
00:52:05.780 doesn't work,
00:52:07.300 it's the most
00:52:08.520 systemically racist
00:52:10.060 thing that could
00:52:10.860 happen.
00:52:11.740 Not even
00:52:12.200 close.
00:52:12.880 I mean,
00:52:13.060 there's nothing
00:52:13.440 else that's
00:52:13.920 even in the
00:52:15.180 same universe
00:52:15.940 as getting
00:52:17.140 education right.
00:52:18.080 Because if you
00:52:18.920 got education
00:52:19.780 right, you're
00:52:21.300 one generation
00:52:22.080 away from a
00:52:24.540 whole bunch of
00:52:25.120 equality and
00:52:26.300 at least the
00:52:27.460 feeling of
00:52:28.200 systemic racism
00:52:29.120 would shrink
00:52:30.020 to, oh, yeah,
00:52:31.000 it's still there,
00:52:32.040 but I got a good
00:52:33.000 education so I
00:52:33.960 can get a job
00:52:34.580 anywhere and my
00:52:35.240 income's good.
00:52:36.680 It's working
00:52:37.480 fine.
00:52:37.780 So I would
00:52:41.440 say the weird
00:52:42.340 thing that
00:52:42.740 happened is
00:52:43.380 that black 1.00
00:52:44.100 people and
00:52:44.760 Black Lives
00:52:45.320 Matter strongly
00:52:46.700 by majority
00:52:48.300 supported Biden
00:52:49.960 and one of the
00:52:50.900 very first things
00:52:51.740 he's going to
00:52:52.220 do is screw
00:52:53.560 them harder
00:52:54.100 than anybody
00:52:54.840 has ever
00:52:55.260 screwed anybody
00:52:56.180 in the last
00:52:57.760 40 years.
00:52:59.320 Because if you
00:53:00.140 put the head,
00:53:01.340 the past
00:53:01.920 president of
00:53:02.680 the nation's
00:53:03.420 largest teachers
00:53:04.240 unions, it's
00:53:05.520 the teachers
00:53:06.020 unions that
00:53:06.780 are the ones
00:53:07.180 that are
00:53:07.380 fighting against
00:53:08.480 school choice.
00:53:10.420 School choice
00:53:11.220 is the only
00:53:11.960 chance black
00:53:13.060 Americans have 0.78
00:53:13.980 of making
00:53:15.000 big gains
00:53:15.960 because it's
00:53:16.800 not going to
00:53:17.240 be reparations.
00:53:18.980 I mean, even
00:53:19.340 if reparations
00:53:20.080 happened, that
00:53:21.620 doesn't really
00:53:22.120 move the needle. 0.70
00:53:23.520 It would barely
00:53:24.280 change anything
00:53:24.980 because it
00:53:25.640 wouldn't be
00:53:25.900 that big,
00:53:26.580 right?
00:53:26.820 It would be
00:53:27.160 nice.
00:53:27.700 It wouldn't
00:53:27.980 be, you
00:53:28.940 know,
00:53:29.140 civilization
00:53:29.800 changing.
00:53:31.140 But changing
00:53:31.980 our school
00:53:33.240 system, that
00:53:33.960 is civilization
00:53:34.920 altering.
00:53:35.680 No doubt
00:53:36.120 about it.
00:53:36.620 It's that
00:53:37.040 big every
00:53:37.560 time.
00:53:38.800 So the
00:53:39.980 first thing
00:53:40.500 Biden does
00:53:41.180 is he comes
00:53:41.780 in and he
00:53:42.440 absolutely
00:53:43.040 screwed the
00:53:44.040 black voters
00:53:45.340 who put him
00:53:46.080 into the
00:53:47.640 office.
00:53:48.780 I mean, you
00:53:49.080 can't screw
00:53:49.680 your voters
00:53:50.240 harder than
00:53:50.760 that.
00:53:51.660 That is the
00:53:52.580 ultimate FU.
00:53:53.960 And it looks
00:53:54.380 like that's
00:53:54.820 happening.
00:53:56.360 All right.
00:53:57.380 That's all I
00:53:57.880 got for you
00:53:58.360 today.
00:54:00.280 And I
00:54:02.080 will talk
00:54:02.460 to you
00:54:02.880 tomorrow.
00:54:05.520 All right.
00:54:08.860 Periscope is
00:54:09.560 turned off
00:54:10.140 and it's
00:54:11.100 just you
00:54:11.640 beautiful
00:54:12.620 YouTubers 0.97
00:54:13.480 here.
00:54:14.440 Somebody says,
00:54:15.200 what is the
00:54:15.720 slaughter meter?
00:54:16.840 Well, I think
00:54:17.480 slaughter is
00:54:18.120 probably the
00:54:18.800 wrong word
00:54:19.380 because whatever
00:54:20.480 happens, there
00:54:21.100 won't be any
00:54:21.680 Trump slaughter
00:54:22.680 probably.
00:54:23.800 but the
00:54:26.100 odds of, let
00:54:27.780 me say this,
00:54:28.280 the odds
00:54:28.840 that there
00:54:29.840 will be new
00:54:30.420 information
00:54:31.020 that leads
00:54:33.660 you to
00:54:33.980 believe that
00:54:34.520 the elections
00:54:35.080 were stolen
00:54:36.260 are high,
00:54:40.680 really high.
00:54:43.140 That's all I
00:54:43.980 want to tell
00:54:44.400 you.
00:54:45.300 So a week
00:54:46.460 from now,
00:54:47.360 check in with
00:54:48.040 me again.
00:54:48.540 If you
00:54:49.480 have not
00:54:50.000 heard really
00:54:51.040 strong
00:54:52.080 evidence of
00:54:53.760 fraud in a
00:54:54.660 week, maybe
00:54:55.920 you won't.
00:54:57.120 Because if we
00:54:57.800 can't find it
00:54:58.380 pretty soon,
00:54:59.180 maybe it's
00:54:59.680 not there.
00:55:00.880 All right.
00:55:04.000 Is the
00:55:04.720 watermark real?
00:55:06.060 So my take
00:55:07.800 on all the
00:55:08.300 individual cases
00:55:09.640 of fraud
00:55:11.440 that you've
00:55:11.880 heard, and
00:55:12.800 I'll say this
00:55:13.340 again, is that
00:55:13.880 95% of them
00:55:14.960 won't be true.
00:55:15.800 All those
00:55:17.400 little computer
00:55:18.220 glitches, and
00:55:19.240 the count
00:55:20.360 changed by this
00:55:21.280 much on that
00:55:21.860 day, and we
00:55:22.520 saw it on
00:55:22.980 CNN, and
00:55:23.880 there's a
00:55:24.660 watermark.
00:55:26.760 If you had
00:55:27.560 to bet, you
00:55:29.640 should bet that
00:55:30.500 all of them
00:55:31.060 are untrue,
00:55:32.240 which is
00:55:32.980 different from
00:55:33.700 did massive
00:55:34.680 fraud happen.
00:55:36.500 Now, the
00:55:37.440 Benford's law
00:55:38.480 one, which is
00:55:39.300 a data analysis
00:55:40.640 that shows
00:55:41.260 whether the
00:55:41.740 numbers look
00:55:42.320 like they
00:55:43.580 could have
00:55:43.820 been natural
00:55:44.420 or they
00:55:44.980 were fair,
00:55:45.800 fudged, and
00:55:46.880 you're seeing
00:55:47.380 a lot of
00:55:47.680 analysis that
00:55:48.420 says they
00:55:48.840 look absolutely
00:55:50.060 fudged.
00:55:51.560 Those could
00:55:52.240 be real.
00:55:53.360 So the ones
00:55:53.860 that I would
00:55:54.200 put the most
00:55:54.860 credibility on
00:55:56.280 would be a
00:55:57.540 statistical
00:55:58.100 analysis, but
00:55:59.780 not every
00:56:00.320 one, right?
00:56:01.840 If you see
00:56:02.880 on Twitter a
00:56:03.680 statistical
00:56:04.240 analysis, and
00:56:05.220 it's got a
00:56:05.580 little graph,
00:56:06.660 and that
00:56:06.940 little graph
00:56:07.540 seems to
00:56:08.060 show that
00:56:08.500 the election
00:56:08.920 was stolen,
00:56:09.980 I don't even
00:56:10.720 need to know
00:56:11.480 what graph
00:56:11.940 it was.
00:56:12.840 I don't even
00:56:13.320 need to know
00:56:13.780 what data
00:56:14.140 was in it.
00:56:14.640 There's a
00:56:15.400 95% chance
00:56:16.920 that's not
00:56:18.120 real, because
00:56:20.060 it's just in
00:56:20.780 the class of
00:56:21.540 things, which
00:56:23.120 will be 95%
00:56:24.480 not true.
00:56:25.460 A lot of
00:56:25.840 it's going to
00:56:26.140 be confirmation
00:56:26.760 bias, and you
00:56:28.440 dig in a little
00:56:29.060 bit, and there
00:56:30.680 was a glitch in
00:56:31.860 the feed, but it
00:56:32.840 got corrected
00:56:33.440 immediately.
00:56:34.240 It's going to
00:56:34.480 be that stuff.
00:56:35.480 But I'm here
00:56:37.140 to tell you
00:56:37.740 that the odds
00:56:39.740 of real
00:56:40.780 evidence
00:56:41.460 that's big
00:56:42.780 are really
00:56:44.500 good.
00:56:45.060 I just don't
00:56:45.660 know that we've
00:56:46.160 seen any of
00:56:46.660 it yet.
00:56:49.240 Somebody says,
00:56:50.160 how is the
00:56:50.620 weaponized
00:56:51.260 autism coming?
00:56:53.900 Let me put it
00:56:54.800 this way.
00:56:57.240 So I am
00:56:58.280 on the
00:56:59.060 fringes of
00:56:59.960 monitoring some
00:57:01.220 stuff going on,
00:57:02.140 right?
00:57:02.320 So I'm not
00:57:02.920 doing any
00:57:03.800 math myself.
00:57:05.140 But I have
00:57:05.880 just enough
00:57:06.640 connections into
00:57:08.180 the world of
00:57:09.520 Trump supporters
00:57:10.940 that I do
00:57:13.920 get to see
00:57:14.560 stuff before
00:57:16.240 you get to
00:57:16.760 see it.
00:57:17.960 And the
00:57:18.780 weaponized
00:57:19.640 autism, and
00:57:20.520 again, if you're
00:57:21.760 new to me, I
00:57:22.880 use it as a
00:57:24.020 term of
00:57:24.620 affection, because
00:57:26.160 there are more
00:57:26.940 people on the
00:57:27.760 spectrum who are
00:57:28.600 Dilbert fans, and
00:57:30.380 I love them
00:57:31.080 beyond compare.
00:57:32.320 So when I
00:57:33.320 talk about
00:57:33.780 weaponized
00:57:34.320 autism, I'm
00:57:35.200 literally using
00:57:35.880 it as a
00:57:36.320 compliment.
00:57:38.520 It's awesome.
00:57:40.940 So what's
00:57:42.080 coming could
00:57:43.900 be mind-boggling,
00:57:45.360 and I hope
00:57:46.140 you're ready.
00:57:47.620 I hope you're
00:57:48.740 ready.
00:57:49.640 All right.
00:57:50.640 That's all for
00:57:51.440 now.
00:57:52.000 I'll talk to you
00:57:52.600 tomorrow.
