Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1182 Scott Adams： Why Does Trump Try to Take Credit for Unverified President Elect Biden's Work？

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,

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,

00:17:21.840 nonsensical,

00:17:22.700 and stupidly

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.
