Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1200 Scott Adams： Don't Miss My Impression of Reporters Looking at the #Kraken Claims, Section 230

00:00:00.000 hey everybody come on in here today it's a big shopping day but more importantly it's a big day

00:00:17.520 on coffee with scott adams and aren't you glad you made it oh yeah you're happy you made it

00:00:24.420 It's going to be rocking.

00:00:26.840 Ugh, what a word, rocking.

00:00:29.260 Don't let me ever say that again, okay?

00:00:32.840 And to enjoy this day to its maximum,

00:00:35.500 all you need is a cup or mug or a glass,

00:00:37.060 a tank or chalice or a stein,

00:00:38.060 a canteen jug or a flask of a vessel of any kind.

00:00:41.080 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:44.500 Do you know what I like?

00:00:46.400 I think you do.

00:00:47.440 It's coffee.

00:00:48.600 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:50.920 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:52.220 the thing that makes everything better,

00:00:55.720 even the kraken.

00:00:57.980 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:59.240 Go.

00:01:03.420 Ah.

00:01:05.860 I would like to begin my program with an impression.

00:01:11.100 Now, I'm not like an expert at impressions,

00:01:14.620 so bear with me as I build my talent stack

00:01:18.100 in doing impressions.

00:01:19.920 This first impression I call

00:01:23.520 a mainstream reporter

00:01:25.600 reviewing Sidney Powell's

00:01:28.480 allegations,

00:01:30.500 which she's recently filed,

00:01:33.260 called the kraken.

00:01:34.480 Let us refer to them as the kraken. 1.00

00:01:37.860 And here is a mainstream reporter

00:01:40.000 looking at her evidence

00:01:41.580 for the first time.

00:01:44.260 Let's see what kind of

00:01:45.740 baseless claims we got here.

00:01:47.920 Oh, typo.

00:01:51.780 Typo.

00:01:53.860 Another typo.

00:01:55.700 What in the world?

00:01:59.400 That's just page one.

00:02:01.460 First page.

00:02:02.520 Two typos.

00:02:05.220 Can't take you seriously.

00:02:07.420 How many pages is this thing?

00:02:08.840 Seems to be

00:02:18.720 almost,

00:02:23.520 you could almost say

00:02:26.320 the allegations are widespread.

00:02:30.720 But I don't think I can say that,

00:02:33.940 so instead,

00:02:36.760 I better look at the data.

00:02:39.800 Got a lot of legal terms in here

00:02:42.380 I don't really understand

00:02:43.800 because I went to journalism school.

00:02:46.820 All right, so I don't understand

00:02:48.280 the legal parts.

00:02:49.460 I'll skip those.

00:02:50.520 But, well, there's graphs.

00:02:53.600 There's graphs and exhibits

00:02:55.280 and math.

00:02:58.060 But I don't know anything about math.

00:03:01.720 So I can't tell if these are true

00:03:04.720 or valid or not.

00:03:07.300 And I can't read the law exactly.

00:03:11.260 So how am I going to summarize

00:03:16.220 hundreds of complaints

00:03:19.220 from different people,

00:03:21.520 eyewitness reports,

00:03:23.740 data?

00:03:28.060 I got it.

00:03:39.140 It's all baseless.

00:03:41.260 You know why?

00:03:42.660 I don't understand it.

00:03:44.120 I don't really have time

00:03:44.920 to get into it.

00:03:46.460 So I think it's all just baseless.

00:03:49.100 It's baseless.

00:03:51.240 And that

00:03:52.020 is why I don't do impressions.

00:03:55.640 Now you know.

00:03:56.960 But let's talk about

00:03:57.820 all the baselessness and stuff.

00:04:00.480 I'm going to jump around

00:04:01.320 a little bit.

00:04:03.000 Let me ask you this question.

00:04:05.220 Has the news of the coronavirus

00:04:06.940 vaccination

00:04:08.240 made you feel

00:04:10.440 like you want to take

00:04:12.240 more risks

00:04:13.220 because you feel like

00:04:14.480 help is on the way?

00:04:15.800 Or do you feel like

00:04:16.820 taking even less risk

00:04:18.680 because you'd feel so stupid

00:04:20.820 if you got the coronavirus

00:04:22.860 and, you know,

00:04:23.900 had some lasting problem

00:04:25.220 or you died

00:04:25.900 when you only had to

00:04:28.260 wait a few months?

00:04:30.380 Which way does it go for you?

00:04:32.440 Because I found myself

00:04:34.760 feeling the following.

00:04:37.540 And I'll give you an analogy.

00:04:39.640 I always thought that

00:04:40.520 if I were to die

00:04:41.520 doing something stupid, 0.78

00:04:43.080 I would hope that

00:04:44.600 the death would be instant

00:04:45.860 because I have this weird fear

00:04:48.720 of knowing that

00:04:50.580 I just did something

00:04:51.540 that's going to kill me

00:04:52.580 but I didn't die right away.

00:04:54.900 So I have to not only

00:04:56.460 know I'm dying

00:04:57.380 but know that I was so stupid

00:05:00.180 I shouldn't have done

00:05:01.720 whatever it was

00:05:02.560 that was going to kill me.

00:05:03.600 And for some reason

00:05:04.860 that plays a big

00:05:07.160 psychological role

00:05:08.960 in my life.

00:05:09.820 Completely irrational.

00:05:11.100 I'm not claiming

00:05:11.900 it has any rational basis.

00:05:14.200 But my experience

00:05:15.660 so far

00:05:16.940 is that my willingness

00:05:18.800 to accept

00:05:20.000 social distancing

00:05:21.960 and masks

00:05:22.740 and lockdowns

00:05:24.280 and a disruption

00:05:25.120 in my life

00:05:25.940 is much higher

00:05:27.400 than it was.

00:05:30.240 I think many of you

00:05:31.400 are going the opposite direction

00:05:32.700 saying,

00:05:33.760 ah, help is on the way

00:05:34.860 we can loosen up

00:05:35.780 a little bit

00:05:36.400 because we'll still

00:05:37.760 get the vaccine

00:05:38.460 so we'll be okay

00:05:39.860 in the long run.

00:05:41.440 And I'm thinking the opposite.

00:05:42.920 I'm feeling as though

00:05:44.040 because I'm sort of

00:05:46.320 in the bottom half

00:05:49.000 of the class of people

00:05:50.280 who have to worry

00:05:51.540 about the coronavirus

00:05:52.560 because I've got a comorbidity

00:05:54.540 I've got asthma

00:05:55.280 and I'm over a certain age

00:05:57.640 so I'm starting to

00:05:59.020 get close to that range

00:06:00.420 where it's dangerous.

00:06:01.060 And here's what I felt.

00:06:04.360 So this is just

00:06:05.260 my internal feeling.

00:06:06.700 I don't recommend it

00:06:08.000 for you, right?

00:06:09.460 I'm not trying to influence

00:06:10.500 you to think

00:06:11.080 the way I'm thinking.

00:06:12.180 I just think it's useful

00:06:13.020 to know how people

00:06:13.760 are processing

00:06:14.400 this situation.

00:06:15.840 And the way I'm processing it

00:06:17.460 is I've never felt

00:06:18.660 as much personal responsibility

00:06:22.220 as I feel right now.

00:06:25.400 And what I mean by that is

00:06:26.860 before I was willing

00:06:28.540 to say, well, you know,

00:06:29.700 it's my life.

00:06:30.520 I'll take a risk

00:06:31.180 if I want to.

00:06:32.380 But of course,

00:06:33.020 that's short-sighted

00:06:35.160 because it's not just your risk.

00:06:37.740 You're filling up an ICU.

00:06:39.660 You're causing problems

00:06:40.760 for people who love you.

00:06:42.460 You know,

00:06:42.740 you're using up resources,

00:06:44.280 et cetera.

00:06:44.600 And so I've decided

00:06:47.680 that the most,

00:06:50.600 let's say,

00:06:51.720 defensible,

00:06:52.980 morally defensible thing

00:06:54.340 that I can do

00:06:55.220 is to suck it up. 0.98

00:06:57.320 Because what you don't need

00:06:59.040 is for me to be sick.

00:07:02.240 Right?

00:07:02.980 Don't you want that ICU bed

00:07:05.760 to be available?

00:07:07.120 Don't you want to not lose

00:07:09.300 coffee with Scott Adams?

00:07:11.140 Don't you want to,

00:07:12.320 you know,

00:07:12.880 make sure the resources

00:07:13.840 don't get sucked up?

00:07:14.900 Don't you want to make sure

00:07:15.660 I don't infect a

00:07:16.660 frontline healthcare worker?

00:07:19.340 You want that, right?

00:07:21.040 My personal responsibility

00:07:22.600 as a person

00:07:23.660 who's in that vulnerable class,

00:07:25.780 albeit at the low end.

00:07:27.120 I'm not,

00:07:27.580 I'm not highly vulnerable.

00:07:29.260 I'm sure I'd be fine as well.

00:07:30.720 But I'm in the vulnerable class.

00:07:33.360 So,

00:07:34.600 here's my commitment to you.

00:07:37.120 I'm going to be extra,

00:07:38.240 extra cautious.

00:07:40.280 And the only reason

00:07:41.500 I'm going to be extra cautious

00:07:42.540 is for,

00:07:43.640 really for your benefit.

00:07:45.720 Because I'm in the dangerous class.

00:07:48.900 Now,

00:07:49.200 at the same time,

00:07:50.860 I don't care if you're not.

00:07:55.440 Now,

00:07:56.040 can that be consistent?

00:07:57.920 Is it consistent for me to say

00:07:59.540 I'm personally

00:08:00.420 going to take more precaution

00:08:02.480 because I don't want you

00:08:03.520 to have to deal

00:08:04.320 with me being sick.

00:08:05.940 But at the same time,

00:08:08.120 I think I can be consistent

00:08:09.420 by saying if you're,

00:08:11.400 just pick a number,

00:08:12.500 if you're 25,

00:08:13.900 I don't care what you do.

00:08:15.900 I just don't care.

00:08:17.440 You could take some extra risks

00:08:19.300 if you want to

00:08:20.160 because I'm going to be taking

00:08:21.900 some extra precautions.

00:08:23.920 So,

00:08:24.320 I'm hoping my extra precautions

00:08:26.060 will compensate for your,

00:08:28.220 maybe a little extra risky behavior.

00:08:30.060 It's going to happen anyway.

00:08:31.240 It's not like it's up to me.

00:08:32.540 It's just going to happen anyway.

00:08:34.320 So,

00:08:34.800 I'm just,

00:08:35.320 just interested

00:08:36.260 how you process this.

00:08:37.560 I would like to see extra,

00:08:39.760 maybe a little extra caution

00:08:41.640 on the vulnerable

00:08:42.580 and maybe a little looser

00:08:44.280 on everybody else

00:08:45.160 so that we can have a real life.

00:08:47.160 One of the things

00:08:47.920 that we consistently do wrong

00:08:50.080 as a civilization

00:08:52.800 is that

00:08:54.340 we tend to bucketize

00:08:57.020 our topics

00:08:58.380 because it's hard

00:09:00.140 to talk about things

00:09:01.120 until you can put them

00:09:02.020 in categories.

00:09:03.260 But this ends up

00:09:04.500 fooling us

00:09:05.480 because we imagine

00:09:06.880 that the category

00:09:07.700 that we put something into

00:09:09.240 just to make it easy

00:09:10.740 to talk about it,

00:09:12.240 we think it's meaningful.

00:09:14.200 But usually,

00:09:15.320 it's just a way

00:09:15.880 to talk about it.

00:09:16.980 Now,

00:09:17.140 let me give you an example.

00:09:18.640 If I said to you,

00:09:20.140 there's a decision

00:09:21.260 about COVID health,

00:09:24.240 but then the other variable

00:09:26.060 is the economy

00:09:27.000 and how the economy

00:09:28.860 also translates

00:09:30.660 through to health.

00:09:31.460 you need a good economy

00:09:32.940 to have good health.

00:09:34.340 So we started out

00:09:35.800 with people saying,

00:09:36.680 hey,

00:09:37.420 you're focusing too much

00:09:38.640 on just the direct

00:09:40.020 observable health care problem

00:09:42.460 and you're not focusing enough

00:09:44.540 on this other variable,

00:09:46.060 which is the economy,

00:09:47.080 which also affects

00:09:48.820 your health care.

00:09:49.940 Now,

00:09:50.600 I feel as if collectively

00:09:53.560 the minds of the world

00:09:55.560 have indeed shifted

00:09:57.940 so that now most of us,

00:10:00.280 I think,

00:10:00.700 are now capable of saying,

00:10:02.380 oh yeah,

00:10:02.880 I get it.

00:10:03.680 You can die in two different ways.

00:10:05.700 The economy can be bad

00:10:06.800 or the virus gets you.

00:10:08.360 So you have to have

00:10:09.720 a smart balance

00:10:10.980 of those things

00:10:11.980 to get the right result.

00:10:14.460 What's being left out?

00:10:16.480 So now you've done

00:10:17.400 a good job.

00:10:18.140 You said,

00:10:18.440 oh wait,

00:10:18.940 my buckets,

00:10:20.180 my health care bucket

00:10:21.240 is not really separate

00:10:23.180 from my economy bucket.

00:10:26.160 It's just that we

00:10:27.040 put them in buckets

00:10:28.080 because then you've got

00:10:29.000 an economist

00:10:29.600 who looks at the economy,

00:10:31.340 you've got doctors

00:10:32.220 looking at the health care.

00:10:33.400 it makes things easier

00:10:35.100 but it can mislead you

00:10:38.300 because these are not

00:10:39.820 separate buckets.

00:10:41.180 It's closer to being

00:10:42.480 one bucket

00:10:43.300 but it's just easier

00:10:44.980 to talk about it

00:10:45.820 as two

00:10:46.400 because of the way

00:10:47.840 we separate our experts.

00:10:50.120 Right?

00:10:51.240 But what's missing?

00:10:52.280 That's two big variables,

00:10:53.480 economy and health care.

00:10:55.720 What one's missing?

00:10:57.620 And this will be your test

00:10:58.940 for a blind spot.

00:11:00.700 In the comments,

00:11:01.780 tell me what topic

00:11:04.040 which is as big as those.

00:11:06.140 It's as big as a pandemic.

00:11:09.660 It's bigger actually.

00:11:10.920 It's bigger than a pandemic

00:11:11.880 and it's at least

00:11:14.120 as big as the economy

00:11:15.660 in importance.

00:11:17.660 Somebody says freedom.

00:11:19.580 That is a correct answer

00:11:21.040 but not the one

00:11:21.720 I'm looking for.

00:11:23.000 Alright?

00:11:23.580 The freedom question

00:11:24.500 is a little trickier

00:11:25.380 so that's not

00:11:26.340 what I'm going for.

00:11:27.740 But you're correct, right?

00:11:29.180 So I'll give you

00:11:29.700 full credit for the answer

00:11:30.880 but it's not where

00:11:32.260 I'm trying to take you.

00:11:33.420 There we go.

00:11:34.800 Boom.

00:11:36.320 Somebody got the right answer.

00:11:38.460 Look at all the people

00:11:39.660 who answered

00:11:40.320 and only one person

00:11:42.560 got the right answer.

00:11:45.540 Military safety.

00:11:47.880 Homeland security.

00:11:49.900 Why?

00:11:50.780 Because you can't have

00:11:52.120 a military

00:11:52.720 without a strong economy.

00:11:54.940 And even if you imagined

00:11:57.100 that your economy

00:11:58.260 still existed

00:11:59.380 but it took a hit.

00:12:00.720 Let's say your economy

00:12:01.860 goes down 20%.

00:12:03.280 Will your military

00:12:05.000 be as ready?

00:12:06.760 Not a chance.

00:12:08.120 Not a chance.

00:12:09.300 Because most of your money

00:12:10.680 has to go toward

00:12:11.480 keeping people alive

00:12:12.800 in the short run.

00:12:14.340 Your military

00:12:15.000 is a little bit

00:12:16.000 of a luxury.

00:12:17.360 And that's where

00:12:18.200 your last dollar

00:12:20.440 goes to that.

00:12:21.380 It's like,

00:12:21.600 well,

00:12:22.060 I've got to do this too.

00:12:23.200 You would imagine

00:12:24.320 it could be

00:12:24.740 your top priority

00:12:25.520 but living today

00:12:26.940 is going to be

00:12:27.500 your top priority.

00:12:28.980 So here's the thing.

00:12:30.340 If you imagine

00:12:31.040 that the military questions

00:12:32.660 are this separate bucket

00:12:34.380 then you can ignore it.

00:12:37.220 Right?

00:12:38.040 Just ignore it.

00:12:39.560 That's another bucket.

00:12:40.740 We're not even

00:12:41.140 talking about that.

00:12:42.120 I'm talking about coronavirus.

00:12:44.440 That's the bucket

00:12:45.400 I'm talking about.

00:12:46.780 But if you don't

00:12:47.980 look at this problem

00:12:49.340 as a health care

00:12:50.660 plus economy

00:12:52.280 plus homeland defense

00:12:54.660 military essentially

00:12:56.020 you've missed

00:12:57.540 one third

00:12:59.060 of the decision.

00:13:02.320 You know,

00:13:02.660 I'm speaking

00:13:03.260 in very rough terms

00:13:04.220 they're not really

00:13:04.760 one third.

00:13:05.680 But a gigantic part

00:13:07.460 of this decision

00:13:08.320 is what are you doing

00:13:09.700 to your homeland defense?

00:13:11.780 Right?

00:13:12.180 What is China

00:13:13.000 does China get 0.79

00:13:14.320 let's say

00:13:14.920 like a big gain

00:13:17.020 and it catches up

00:13:18.220 to us economically?

00:13:19.280 What would that do

00:13:20.760 to your military

00:13:21.660 preparedness

00:13:22.340 if China

00:13:23.600 pulls to parity

00:13:24.800 with economy?

00:13:26.900 You're in trouble.

00:13:28.660 Right?

00:13:29.600 The military

00:13:30.660 is almost

00:13:31.560 perfectly correlated

00:13:33.060 with the strength

00:13:34.080 of your economy.

00:13:35.440 You want to go

00:13:35.980 a little bit further?

00:13:37.060 Let me go a little bit further.

00:13:38.560 We're looking

00:13:39.300 at the climate.

00:13:41.020 When you look

00:13:41.740 at the climate

00:13:42.340 of course

00:13:43.500 we made the mistake

00:13:44.440 of saying

00:13:44.840 hey

00:13:45.140 this climate

00:13:46.820 could be dangerous

00:13:48.280 and kill people 0.93

00:13:49.620 etc.

00:13:50.860 But at least

00:13:51.640 we're smart enough

00:13:52.540 to say

00:13:52.960 oh but there's also

00:13:54.080 this economic part.

00:13:57.220 It's not just about

00:13:58.060 you know

00:13:59.040 that you would be

00:13:59.820 dangerously

00:14:01.060 at risk

00:14:01.680 health wise

00:14:02.440 if global warming

00:14:04.520 is what the

00:14:05.340 scientists are telling you.

00:14:07.380 What's missing?

00:14:09.500 What's missing

00:14:10.420 once again

00:14:11.140 is your military.

00:14:12.940 Can you have

00:14:13.840 a strong

00:14:14.940 homeland security

00:14:16.440 and a strong

00:14:17.200 military

00:14:17.720 in this day

00:14:19.420 and age

00:14:19.920 if you don't

00:14:21.420 have

00:14:22.520 energy

00:14:23.460 independence

00:14:24.500 and if it isn't

00:14:26.420 carbon based?

00:14:28.640 Now

00:14:28.880 nuclear based

00:14:30.220 is in there too.

00:14:31.480 You've got to have that.

00:14:33.120 Could you have

00:14:34.140 an entirely

00:14:35.540 green economy

00:14:36.680 let's say

00:14:37.220 it was possible.

00:14:38.540 Let's say

00:14:38.960 the numbers work

00:14:39.900 there's some

00:14:40.520 breakthroughs

00:14:41.680 in solar power.

00:14:43.840 So you've got

00:14:44.780 a really good

00:14:46.280 green economy

00:14:47.660 you get rid

00:14:48.340 of your oil

00:14:48.980 you get rid

00:14:49.560 of your coal

00:14:50.140 what happens

00:14:51.880 to you?

00:14:52.800 Well you become

00:14:53.660 conquered by China 1.00

00:14:54.680 guaranteed

00:14:55.460 because if you're

00:14:56.940 powering your tanks

00:14:58.020 with electricity

00:14:58.940 and solar panels

00:15:01.020 I mean

00:15:01.400 I'm using

00:15:02.020 a ridiculous

00:15:02.520 example

00:15:03.120 you don't

00:15:04.320 really have

00:15:04.840 a military.

00:15:06.340 So when people

00:15:07.220 are talking

00:15:07.580 about the

00:15:07.980 green new deal

00:15:08.940 sometimes

00:15:10.280 they'll allow

00:15:11.360 that there's

00:15:11.860 an economic

00:15:12.580 element to that

00:15:13.600 they'll say

00:15:14.060 it's positive

00:15:14.640 not negative

00:15:15.320 I would say

00:15:16.980 that

00:15:17.280 if you don't

00:15:18.520 have an

00:15:19.140 oil based

00:15:20.060 or a carbon

00:15:20.780 based

00:15:21.280 energy system

00:15:22.780 with independence

00:15:23.980 you don't

00:15:25.040 have a military.

00:15:26.300 You do not

00:15:27.220 have a military

00:15:27.940 if you have

00:15:29.340 the green new deal.

00:15:30.800 What if you

00:15:31.460 get rid of

00:15:31.860 your nuclear?

00:15:32.980 If you get rid

00:15:33.920 of your nuclear

00:15:34.620 capabilities

00:15:35.340 as

00:15:35.960 let's say

00:15:37.180 a domestic

00:15:37.740 power source

00:15:38.740 you also

00:15:39.720 get rid

00:15:40.160 of your

00:15:40.500 nuclear

00:15:40.980 experts

00:15:41.760 and suddenly

00:15:42.920 you can't

00:15:43.540 do nuclear

00:15:44.140 for military

00:15:44.920 either

00:15:45.360 and you

00:15:46.140 kind of

00:15:46.600 need it

00:15:46.920 for military

00:15:47.560 because you're

00:15:48.320 not going

00:15:48.540 to power

00:15:48.880 your submarines

00:15:50.580 etc.

00:15:51.900 Now what

00:15:52.220 about space?

00:15:53.840 Is it

00:15:54.480 possible

00:15:55.020 to be

00:15:56.120 safe

00:15:57.180 if your

00:15:58.280 nemesis

00:15:59.360 controls

00:16:00.420 space

00:16:01.100 and you

00:16:02.260 don't?

00:16:03.100 It is

00:16:03.680 not possible.

00:16:04.920 It is

00:16:05.260 not even

00:16:05.720 slightly

00:16:06.260 possible

00:16:06.840 that you

00:16:07.920 could be

00:16:08.380 militarily

00:16:09.240 safe

00:16:09.800 if your

00:16:10.860 enemy

00:16:11.200 controls

00:16:11.740 space

00:16:12.400 above you.

00:16:14.160 It is

00:16:14.700 just not

00:16:15.020 even

00:16:15.220 slightly

00:16:15.720 possible

00:16:16.260 that you

00:16:17.000 could be

00:16:17.360 safe

00:16:17.720 from that.

00:16:19.220 You might

00:16:19.840 have

00:16:20.060 mutually

00:16:20.560 assured

00:16:20.960 destruction

00:16:21.500 but you

00:16:22.200 would be

00:16:22.440 in a

00:16:22.740 big

00:16:23.200 problem.

00:16:24.580 Now

00:16:24.740 what are

00:16:25.620 you going

00:16:25.920 to need

00:16:26.380 to have

00:16:26.880 a robust

00:16:27.580 space

00:16:28.540 force

00:16:28.980 nuclear

00:16:30.700 power?

00:16:31.840 There

00:16:32.040 probably

00:16:32.760 isn't

00:16:33.340 any

00:16:33.860 alternative

00:16:34.280 to that.

00:16:35.700 Eventually

00:16:36.780 space

00:16:38.060 force

00:16:38.480 will be

00:16:39.240 nuclear

00:16:39.660 powered

00:16:40.140 unless

00:16:40.860 somebody

00:16:41.280 invents

00:16:41.840 warp

00:16:43.040 drive

00:16:43.580 or

00:16:43.760 something.

00:16:44.640 I don't

00:16:44.800 see that

00:16:45.240 coming.

00:16:45.980 So

00:16:46.100 any time

00:16:46.560 that people

00:16:46.920 have these

00:16:47.300 conversations

00:16:47.940 where they've

00:16:48.580 simplified it

00:16:49.300 to health

00:16:50.040 versus

00:16:51.220 economics,

00:16:52.420 here's the

00:16:53.140 recording that

00:16:53.900 should play

00:16:54.340 in your

00:16:54.620 mind.

00:16:55.680 You left

00:16:56.120 out the

00:16:56.500 military

00:16:56.940 because it's

00:16:58.140 all connected

00:16:58.700 and the

00:16:59.900 military is

00:17:00.680 not trivial.

00:17:02.480 It's

00:17:02.920 necessary.

00:17:05.380 Right?

00:17:05.620 It's

00:17:06.080 just not

00:17:06.700 optional.

00:17:07.920 Now

00:17:08.040 we've

00:17:08.320 lived,

00:17:08.720 most of

00:17:09.100 us have

00:17:09.620 been born

00:17:10.020 into a

00:17:10.440 world where

00:17:10.980 the United

00:17:11.380 States was

00:17:12.580 so dominant

00:17:13.400 militarily that

00:17:14.720 you have the

00:17:15.340 luxury of not

00:17:16.140 thinking about

00:17:16.860 it as much.

00:17:17.800 It's like,

00:17:18.140 well,

00:17:19.120 we're militarily

00:17:20.120 dominant,

00:17:20.900 nobody's going

00:17:21.460 to attack our

00:17:22.040 homeland,

00:17:23.060 at least not a

00:17:23.900 military force,

00:17:25.100 just terrorists.

00:17:26.720 And I got a

00:17:28.220 feeling that if

00:17:29.120 you start messing

00:17:29.900 with the energy

00:17:31.880 production,

00:17:32.540 you might

00:17:33.740 clean up the

00:17:34.540 sky a little

00:17:35.120 bit,

00:17:35.980 but you're

00:17:37.060 going to do

00:17:37.320 it at the

00:17:37.580 risk of your

00:17:38.040 military.

00:17:38.500 So if you

00:17:38.820 haven't included

00:17:39.460 that,

00:17:39.840 you're not

00:17:40.120 really doing

00:17:40.600 a proper

00:17:41.760 analysis.

00:17:42.440 Let's talk

00:17:42.740 about Facebook.

00:17:44.380 We're learning

00:17:44.960 that Facebook

00:17:45.520 had some

00:17:46.080 kind of,

00:17:46.640 what they

00:17:47.020 call a

00:17:47.400 break-the-glass

00:17:48.460 plan,

00:17:50.260 where if

00:17:51.100 things were

00:17:51.680 bad after

00:17:52.340 the election,

00:17:53.060 in other

00:17:53.300 words,

00:17:53.540 if society

00:17:54.180 was starting

00:17:55.120 to break

00:17:55.560 down because

00:17:56.160 of the

00:17:56.420 election results,

00:17:57.820 they were

00:17:58.140 going to

00:17:58.700 kick into

00:17:59.840 play,

00:18:02.540 a change

00:18:04.300 in the

00:18:04.600 algorithm

00:18:05.080 that would

00:18:06.760 spike in 0.98

00:18:07.840 visibility the

00:18:08.940 mainstream

00:18:09.520 publishers such

00:18:10.960 as, and

00:18:11.700 I'm not

00:18:11.980 making this

00:18:12.440 up, this

00:18:12.820 is the

00:18:13.100 actual list,

00:18:16.060 such as

00:18:16.860 CNN,

00:18:17.660 NPR, and

00:18:18.420 the New

00:18:18.680 York Times.

00:18:19.940 And it

00:18:20.460 would

00:18:20.620 de-emphasize

00:18:21.620 Breitbart

00:18:23.160 and some

00:18:24.440 other site

00:18:24.940 that I

00:18:25.300 don't

00:18:25.340 remember.

00:18:26.780 So what

00:18:27.460 would be

00:18:27.840 the

00:18:28.300 justification

00:18:29.340 for

00:18:31.160 boosting

00:18:31.820 CNN,

00:18:32.760 NPR,

00:18:33.500 and New

00:18:33.680 York

00:18:33.820 Times,

00:18:34.900 but

00:18:35.140 de-emphasizing

00:18:36.140 Breitbart?

00:18:37.100 Well, the

00:18:37.720 word that

00:18:38.160 they've

00:18:38.440 injected into

00:18:39.220 this is

00:18:39.920 hyper-partisan.

00:18:41.980 So they've

00:18:43.100 decided to

00:18:43.700 label

00:18:44.000 Breitbart

00:18:44.980 hyper-partisan

00:18:46.520 while saying

00:18:48.580 that CNN,

00:18:49.760 NPR,

00:18:50.380 and New

00:18:50.580 York

00:18:50.720 Times are

00:18:51.900 not.

00:18:55.040 Now,

00:18:56.000 is it

00:18:56.880 just me,

00:18:58.000 or is

00:18:58.680 that

00:18:58.960 hilarious?

00:18:59.600 Let me

00:19:01.060 just walk

00:19:02.080 you through

00:19:02.420 some

00:19:02.680 examples.

00:19:04.360 Was it

00:19:04.860 Breitbart

00:19:05.560 that told

00:19:06.760 you the

00:19:07.540 fine people

00:19:08.260 hoax?

00:19:09.880 Nope.

00:19:10.840 Breitbart

00:19:11.280 told you

00:19:11.780 that it

00:19:12.060 was a

00:19:12.400 hoax,

00:19:13.280 showed you

00:19:13.760 the transcript,

00:19:15.060 did it

00:19:15.420 quite a few

00:19:15.860 times,

00:19:16.280 actually.

00:19:16.700 Joel Pollack

00:19:17.180 did that

00:19:17.540 a number

00:19:17.840 of times.

00:19:18.800 So CNN,

00:19:20.100 NPR,

00:19:20.560 and New

00:19:20.720 York Times

00:19:21.300 reported the

00:19:22.660 fine people

00:19:23.280 hoax as

00:19:24.060 true,

00:19:25.180 which ripped

00:19:26.140 the country

00:19:26.860 apart and

00:19:27.440 probably changed

00:19:28.240 the election

00:19:28.660 result.

00:19:30.120 Breitbart

00:19:30.520 reported it

00:19:31.900 accurately,

00:19:32.900 but they're

00:19:34.260 being called

00:19:34.760 hyper-partisan.

00:19:36.440 How about

00:19:36.900 the hoax

00:19:38.060 that the

00:19:38.620 president

00:19:39.020 suggested

00:19:40.480 or noodled

00:19:41.260 on the

00:19:41.580 idea of

00:19:42.140 drinking

00:19:42.560 bleach,

00:19:43.840 which of

00:19:44.300 course never

00:19:44.820 happened,

00:19:45.740 not even

00:19:46.680 close.

00:19:48.300 Did

00:19:48.740 Breitbart

00:19:49.380 report that

00:19:50.900 the president

00:19:51.500 thought about

00:19:52.640 drinking bleach?

00:19:54.120 No.

00:19:54.800 They reported

00:19:55.500 it as a

00:19:56.180 hoax,

00:19:57.480 which it

00:19:57.940 was.

00:19:59.220 What did

00:20:00.020 CNN,

00:20:00.960 NPR,

00:20:01.620 and New

00:20:01.840 York Times

00:20:02.340 report?

00:20:03.700 They reported

00:20:04.520 the hoax as

00:20:05.120 true.

00:20:06.860 Right?

00:20:07.300 Now,

00:20:07.580 I don't think

00:20:08.000 they all

00:20:08.360 used the

00:20:08.760 word bleach.

00:20:09.500 CNN did.

00:20:10.660 They may

00:20:11.020 have said

00:20:11.440 injecting

00:20:12.040 disinfectants,

00:20:13.280 which is the

00:20:13.900 same story.

00:20:14.560 They just

00:20:14.820 don't use the

00:20:15.280 word bleach.

00:20:16.480 All right,

00:20:16.640 how about

00:20:17.080 do I really

00:20:19.540 need to go

00:20:19.980 down the

00:20:20.320 list?

00:20:21.340 I don't

00:20:21.900 need to go

00:20:22.300 down the

00:20:22.620 list anymore,

00:20:23.140 right?

00:20:24.360 What was

00:20:24.720 the last

00:20:25.160 fake story

00:20:27.000 you read

00:20:27.520 in Breitbart?

00:20:29.240 I mean,

00:20:29.560 I usually

00:20:30.260 consume the

00:20:32.340 news based

00:20:32.880 on links

00:20:33.780 that people

00:20:34.260 send me,

00:20:35.000 so I don't

00:20:35.600 read every

00:20:36.260 word of

00:20:36.740 any of

00:20:37.120 these

00:20:37.280 publications.

00:20:38.480 I read

00:20:38.880 the things

00:20:39.240 that people

00:20:39.620 say,

00:20:40.560 hey,

00:20:40.700 you should

00:20:40.960 look at

00:20:41.260 this.

00:20:42.080 But I

00:20:43.240 don't think

00:20:43.800 that this

00:20:44.460 characterization

00:20:45.760 of hyper

00:20:46.800 partisanship

00:20:47.540 could hold

00:20:49.020 up to even

00:20:49.700 the smallest

00:20:50.420 bit of

00:20:50.880 scrutiny.

00:20:51.280 it's not

00:20:52.680 even close

00:20:53.420 to being

00:20:54.620 an accurate

00:20:55.420 framing of

00:20:56.180 reality,

00:20:56.840 and it's

00:20:57.360 pretty easy

00:20:57.920 to prove.

00:20:59.700 All you

00:21:00.740 have to do

00:21:01.060 is look at

00:21:01.500 the hoax

00:21:01.920 reporting.

00:21:02.860 Who reported

00:21:03.640 the most

00:21:04.320 hoaxes?

00:21:05.460 I don't

00:21:06.020 think it's

00:21:06.560 going to be

00:21:06.920 close.

00:21:08.500 I haven't

00:21:09.380 looked into

00:21:09.820 it, but I

00:21:10.180 don't think

00:21:10.440 it's close.

00:21:13.060 So if

00:21:13.800 Facebook can

00:21:14.660 decide that

00:21:15.640 one site

00:21:16.280 that reports

00:21:17.560 the truth

00:21:18.400 in terms of

00:21:19.000 those hoaxes,

00:21:19.920 that's the

00:21:20.280 part I know

00:21:20.680 about,

00:21:21.280 and they

00:21:22.300 can boost

00:21:23.260 the ones

00:21:23.880 that reported

00:21:24.760 the lies,

00:21:26.340 and still

00:21:26.840 are,

00:21:28.760 how do

00:21:29.240 you say

00:21:29.580 that Facebook

00:21:30.140 is not a

00:21:30.820 publisher?

00:21:31.920 Because this

00:21:32.600 is the very

00:21:33.120 definition of

00:21:34.280 a publishing

00:21:34.860 decision.

00:21:36.140 They've made

00:21:36.620 a judgment

00:21:37.160 call, a

00:21:38.880 wrong one,

00:21:39.520 a very wrong

00:21:40.100 one, but

00:21:40.640 that's how

00:21:41.340 judgment works.

00:21:42.220 You don't

00:21:42.480 get them all

00:21:42.940 right.

00:21:45.260 It's a

00:21:46.000 judgment call

00:21:46.640 on what

00:21:47.040 content you

00:21:47.880 should see.

00:21:49.460 That is

00:21:50.280 section 230.

00:21:51.960 That is a

00:21:52.660 publisher.

00:21:53.300 It's not

00:21:53.740 even close

00:21:54.980 to being a

00:21:56.160 communication

00:21:56.780 platform.

00:21:57.780 We're not

00:21:58.340 even in the

00:21:59.160 same

00:21:59.560 galaxy

00:22:01.620 as being

00:22:03.240 like the

00:22:04.360 phone company.

00:22:05.640 What was

00:22:06.060 the last

00:22:06.320 time the

00:22:06.780 phone company

00:22:07.460 told you

00:22:08.460 you couldn't

00:22:09.020 make a

00:22:09.680 phone call

00:22:10.200 because the

00:22:11.460 person you're

00:22:11.920 calling was

00:22:12.420 hyper-partisan?

00:22:13.100 It's like

00:22:14.340 I'm sorry

00:22:15.460 we cannot

00:22:16.400 connect this

00:22:17.260 number.

00:22:18.380 You are

00:22:18.680 dialing your

00:22:19.440 friend who

00:22:20.460 is hyper-partisan.

00:22:22.100 Let us refer

00:22:23.060 you to some

00:22:24.300 Democrats who

00:22:25.640 are more

00:22:26.240 less hyper-partisan.

00:22:30.200 Does the

00:22:31.020 phone ever do

00:22:31.640 that?

00:22:32.500 I mean I

00:22:32.920 don't make

00:22:33.260 many phone

00:22:33.800 calls anymore

00:22:34.440 because phone

00:22:35.140 calls are for

00:22:35.720 losers, but I

00:22:37.840 feel as if that

00:22:39.700 feature is not

00:22:40.700 in my phone.

00:22:41.500 Am I wrong

00:22:42.680 about that?

00:22:44.220 And isn't

00:22:44.920 the whole thing

00:22:46.240 about whether

00:22:47.740 they're editing

00:22:49.960 content?

00:22:50.800 That's the whole

00:22:51.340 question, right?

00:22:52.780 Why are we

00:22:53.760 even fucking

00:22:54.620 talking about

00:22:55.500 this?

00:22:56.640 Why is this

00:22:57.800 even a

00:22:58.700 fucking question?

00:23:00.780 We're way

00:23:01.600 beyond the

00:23:02.120 fact where you

00:23:02.840 can even

00:23:03.180 wonder,

00:23:03.820 I wonder if

00:23:05.120 they're making

00:23:05.560 editorial decisions.

00:23:08.600 Who is

00:23:09.580 wondering that?

00:23:11.500 Who is so

00:23:13.060 fucking stupid

00:23:14.340 that they

00:23:15.860 don't see that

00:23:17.180 this is 100%

00:23:18.480 publishing?

00:23:19.280 It's not even

00:23:20.060 slightly not

00:23:21.080 publishing.

00:23:22.420 I have to

00:23:23.040 admit, this is,

00:23:24.120 is this the

00:23:25.180 first time I've

00:23:25.820 talked about

00:23:26.220 this topic?

00:23:27.560 Maybe the

00:23:28.220 first time in

00:23:28.740 any detail.

00:23:29.720 And the

00:23:30.120 reason is,

00:23:30.840 I've sort of

00:23:31.580 monitored this

00:23:32.480 section 230

00:23:33.480 thing and I

00:23:34.300 thought to

00:23:34.640 myself, well

00:23:35.700 this is more

00:23:36.200 of a lawyer

00:23:36.780 question because

00:23:38.180 as soon as you

00:23:38.720 get into these

00:23:39.240 gray areas,

00:23:40.160 if you're not

00:23:41.160 a lawyer,

00:23:42.160 the gray is

00:23:42.820 just gray.

00:23:43.900 And even if

00:23:44.460 you are a

00:23:44.880 lawyer, it's

00:23:45.260 probably still

00:23:45.800 gray.

00:23:46.520 And I

00:23:46.820 thought, ah,

00:23:47.380 this isn't

00:23:47.860 really the

00:23:48.240 topic I

00:23:49.160 can add

00:23:49.740 anything to.

00:23:51.040 Because, you

00:23:51.580 know, maybe

00:23:52.080 it's hard to

00:23:52.700 tell where

00:23:53.700 do you draw

00:23:54.120 that line

00:23:54.780 between

00:23:55.220 editorial

00:23:55.940 decisions and

00:23:57.240 being a good

00:23:58.980 citizen, which

00:24:00.160 is getting rid

00:24:00.800 of stuff that

00:24:01.340 could be

00:24:01.640 damaging.

00:24:02.980 Right?

00:24:03.220 I thought, ah,

00:24:03.700 it's a little

00:24:04.140 unclear.

00:24:05.620 It's not

00:24:06.320 fucking unclear.

00:24:07.300 Now, did

00:24:08.640 you see what

00:24:09.100 they did?

00:24:09.540 They just,

00:24:10.020 they just, ah,

00:24:11.320 Twitter just

00:24:12.440 suspended the

00:24:13.180 website for the

00:24:14.700 plot against the

00:24:15.460 president.

00:24:16.480 A documentary,

00:24:17.620 which is probably

00:24:18.160 the most successful

00:24:19.100 documentary of

00:24:21.100 all of 2020.

00:24:23.080 And I think they

00:24:24.260 may have forwarded

00:24:25.220 some of Sidney's,

00:24:26.540 Paolo's claims or

00:24:27.540 something.

00:24:28.240 And they got

00:24:28.820 suspended.

00:24:29.960 What the fuck

00:24:30.760 is that?

00:24:32.340 That's not

00:24:33.260 protecting us.

00:24:35.220 That's

00:24:35.620 editorial.

00:24:36.760 That's an

00:24:37.460 editorial call,

00:24:38.580 purely.

00:24:39.340 It's not even

00:24:39.820 close to not

00:24:40.840 being an

00:24:41.280 editorial call.

00:24:42.740 All right?

00:24:43.380 So let us

00:24:44.580 leave behind

00:24:45.860 any notion

00:24:46.720 that there's

00:24:48.360 some ambiguity

00:24:49.780 in this decision.

00:24:51.100 That ambiguity

00:24:51.880 is gone.

00:24:54.280 Let's talk

00:24:55.180 about this

00:24:56.040 racist called

00:24:57.320 Obama.

00:25:00.060 So he is

00:25:00.620 in the news

00:25:01.080 saying that

00:25:01.820 one of the

00:25:02.480 explanations

00:25:03.160 he believes

00:25:04.180 for why

00:25:05.820 Trump got

00:25:06.380 as many

00:25:06.740 votes as

00:25:07.240 he did

00:25:07.660 is that

00:25:08.860 he believes

00:25:09.440 that somebody

00:25:10.060 told white

00:25:11.240 men that

00:25:11.740 they're victims.

00:25:13.740 That's right.

00:25:14.960 President Obama

00:25:15.640 thinks that

00:25:16.500 white men

00:25:17.820 have been

00:25:18.160 brainwashed

00:25:18.920 by someone

00:25:20.140 into thinking

00:25:21.740 that they're

00:25:22.180 victims in

00:25:22.820 this world.

00:25:25.600 Well,

00:25:26.280 Obama,

00:25:27.320 that makes

00:25:28.120 you a 0.57

00:25:28.560 fucking

00:25:28.900 racist.

00:25:30.440 There's no

00:25:31.440 other way

00:25:31.900 around this

00:25:32.500 because he

00:25:34.200 just said

00:25:34.900 and I

00:25:35.480 don't think

00:25:35.960 this is

00:25:36.560 I don't

00:25:37.660 I'm going to

00:25:38.000 put an

00:25:38.300 interpretation

00:25:38.840 on him

00:25:39.460 and I'm

00:25:40.520 going to

00:25:40.920 summarize

00:25:41.440 his thought

00:25:42.360 I don't

00:25:43.660 think that

00:25:44.100 I'm using

00:25:44.860 hyperbole.

00:25:46.200 All right?

00:25:46.440 So I'm

00:25:46.680 going to

00:25:47.080 attempt

00:25:47.560 to not

00:25:48.940 make this

00:25:50.020 super

00:25:50.600 partisan

00:25:51.160 slash

00:25:51.880 exaggerated

00:25:53.240 just because

00:25:54.860 I can.

00:25:55.820 Right?

00:25:56.060 I'm going to

00:25:56.420 try to play

00:25:56.900 it right down

00:25:57.360 the middle

00:25:57.700 and you

00:25:58.440 tell me

00:25:58.840 if this

00:25:59.300 is not

00:25:59.640 a fair

00:26:00.020 statement.

00:26:01.240 When Obama

00:26:02.220 says that

00:26:03.400 somebody

00:26:03.780 convinced

00:26:04.440 white men

00:26:05.340 that they're

00:26:06.000 victims,

00:26:07.020 here's what

00:26:07.680 I hear.

00:26:09.700 White men 0.92

00:26:10.460 lives don't

00:26:11.540 matter.

00:26:13.340 White male 0.64

00:26:14.380 lives don't

00:26:15.560 matter.

00:26:16.680 That's what

00:26:17.440 you're fucking 0.98

00:26:17.960 saying.

00:26:19.380 Right?

00:26:20.020 Because let me

00:26:20.640 explain this to

00:26:21.400 you.

00:26:22.520 Could it be

00:26:23.080 true that

00:26:23.520 there's a

00:26:23.920 difference in

00:26:24.660 the average

00:26:25.400 of the

00:26:26.060 outcomes of

00:26:26.920 white people

00:26:27.540 and black

00:26:28.020 people?

00:26:28.720 Of course.

00:26:29.820 We all see

00:26:30.400 that.

00:26:30.920 Nobody's

00:26:31.300 questioning

00:26:31.740 there's a

00:26:32.160 difference in

00:26:32.680 outcome.

00:26:33.660 Could it be

00:26:34.140 that the

00:26:35.260 legacy of

00:26:36.280 slavery is

00:26:38.060 rippling into

00:26:38.980 the current?

00:26:40.920 I say yes.

00:26:42.360 I say that's

00:26:43.020 obviously true.

00:26:45.040 But having

00:26:46.500 said that,

00:26:47.520 we're talking

00:26:48.100 about the

00:26:48.540 average.

00:26:50.100 Do you

00:26:50.400 think that

00:26:50.840 the person

00:26:52.000 who lost

00:26:52.620 their job

00:26:53.420 because the

00:26:54.060 factory moved

00:26:54.780 to China

00:26:55.280 do you

00:26:56.520 think that

00:26:57.000 person is

00:26:57.980 unworthy of

00:26:58.940 empathy?

00:27:00.160 Is that

00:27:00.920 person not

00:27:01.560 a victim?

00:27:02.840 Now they're

00:27:03.220 not a

00:27:03.980 victim alone

00:27:04.860 because there

00:27:06.380 would be

00:27:06.700 people in

00:27:07.420 every group

00:27:07.920 that would

00:27:08.220 lose their

00:27:08.600 jobs the

00:27:09.060 same way,

00:27:09.800 but are

00:27:10.420 they not

00:27:10.860 victims if

00:27:11.460 they lost

00:27:11.880 their jobs

00:27:12.480 for other

00:27:13.120 people's

00:27:13.560 decisions?

00:27:16.260 Are there

00:27:17.040 not white

00:27:18.980 men who

00:27:20.520 were born

00:27:20.920 as children

00:27:21.440 into bad

00:27:22.240 situations for

00:27:23.780 which the

00:27:24.460 baby is

00:27:25.960 not

00:27:26.200 responsible?

00:27:27.980 How is

00:27:28.400 that different

00:27:29.080 than a

00:27:30.500 black child

00:27:31.220 born in

00:27:31.740 the United

00:27:32.040 States

00:27:32.540 through no

00:27:33.700 fault of

00:27:34.160 their own

00:27:34.520 they're born

00:27:34.960 into a

00:27:35.420 world that

00:27:35.860 has a

00:27:36.260 legacy of

00:27:36.860 slavery which

00:27:37.540 will affect

00:27:38.040 them their

00:27:38.400 whole life?

00:27:39.420 What about

00:27:39.920 a white

00:27:40.900 male who

00:27:42.380 is born

00:27:42.800 into this

00:27:43.280 world and

00:27:43.820 doesn't have

00:27:44.460 let's say

00:27:45.460 a high IQ?

00:27:46.380 are you

00:27:49.000 going to

00:27:50.280 do great

00:27:51.940 if you

00:27:52.800 don't have

00:27:53.240 a high

00:27:53.580 IQ in

00:27:54.400 2020?

00:27:55.360 Probably

00:27:55.700 not.

00:27:56.840 Do you

00:27:57.200 deserve some

00:27:57.880 sympathy or

00:27:59.080 empathy for

00:28:00.480 being sort

00:28:01.640 of in a

00:28:01.940 tough situation?

00:28:03.340 I think so.

00:28:04.760 If you're

00:28:05.240 born into a

00:28:05.800 poor family

00:28:06.480 but you're

00:28:07.340 white, is

00:28:08.640 that not

00:28:09.460 worthy of

00:28:10.180 empathy?

00:28:11.120 I have

00:28:11.960 empathy for

00:28:12.560 that.

00:28:13.360 How could

00:28:13.780 you not

00:28:14.160 have empathy

00:28:14.820 for a

00:28:16.080 white person

00:28:16.880 born into

00:28:17.440 a bad

00:28:17.860 situation?

00:28:19.120 Is it just

00:28:19.960 because they're

00:28:20.540 white?

00:28:21.160 Because I think

00:28:21.720 that's what

00:28:22.100 Obama's saying.

00:28:23.580 He's saying

00:28:24.100 you could have

00:28:24.600 all kinds of

00:28:25.240 problems but

00:28:26.540 if you're a

00:28:27.040 white man

00:28:27.600 it doesn't

00:28:28.500 matter.

00:28:29.940 Because there's

00:28:30.980 something about

00:28:31.460 the average

00:28:32.260 that's different.

00:28:33.880 And the average

00:28:34.300 is different,

00:28:35.160 right?

00:28:35.480 Nobody's arguing

00:28:36.160 that.

00:28:37.080 But it doesn't

00:28:37.720 matter to the

00:28:38.320 individual.

00:28:39.920 Do you know

00:28:40.300 that when we

00:28:40.860 vote, Mr.

00:28:42.200 racist Obama

00:28:43.340 piece of

00:28:43.880 shit, do

00:28:44.900 you know

00:28:45.140 that when

00:28:45.420 people vote

00:28:45.940 they don't

00:28:46.300 vote as a

00:28:46.760 group?

00:28:47.880 I don't

00:28:48.160 know if

00:28:48.360 you knew

00:28:48.560 that.

00:28:49.100 It's an

00:28:49.460 individual

00:28:49.960 thing.

00:28:51.220 An individual

00:28:51.980 white male

00:28:52.760 will vote

00:28:54.140 or not

00:28:54.500 vote.

00:28:55.620 They don't

00:28:56.140 vote as

00:28:56.540 a group.

00:28:57.820 When people

00:28:58.280 vote they

00:28:58.680 don't say

00:28:59.060 well, what's

00:29:00.180 my group

00:29:00.660 doing?

00:29:01.880 Nope.

00:29:03.020 They might

00:29:03.440 vote similarly

00:29:04.400 but they're

00:29:05.280 voting for

00:29:05.800 themselves and

00:29:07.200 their own

00:29:07.660 situation and

00:29:08.940 they absolutely

00:29:09.980 deserve

00:29:11.900 empathy.

00:29:12.200 empathy if

00:29:13.280 they were

00:29:13.580 born into

00:29:14.080 a bad

00:29:14.420 situation.

00:29:15.460 How many

00:29:16.140 white people

00:29:16.740 are just

00:29:17.780 killing it?

00:29:19.520 You know,

00:29:19.820 just killing

00:29:20.280 it in life?

00:29:22.060 Well, I

00:29:22.280 don't know

00:29:22.460 what the

00:29:22.680 percentage is

00:29:23.540 but it's

00:29:24.880 not most.

00:29:26.960 It's not

00:29:27.640 most.

00:29:29.020 You know, I

00:29:29.480 don't know

00:29:29.660 what the

00:29:29.900 number is but

00:29:30.640 even if half

00:29:32.060 of white men

00:29:32.680 are killing it

00:29:33.380 in life, I

00:29:34.220 doubt that's

00:29:34.840 the number.

00:29:36.480 But that

00:29:36.860 leaves a lot

00:29:37.500 of people who

00:29:38.220 are just born

00:29:38.880 into a bad

00:29:39.600 situation or

00:29:40.680 got there

00:29:42.100 however they

00:29:42.780 did.

00:29:43.660 But Obama

00:29:44.060 says white

00:29:44.580 men's lives 0.64

00:29:45.320 don't matter

00:29:45.960 in effect.

00:29:48.320 That's probably

00:29:49.180 the most

00:29:49.980 racist thing

00:29:51.000 I've seen a

00:29:52.300 public official

00:29:53.080 say.

00:29:53.760 Would you

00:29:54.100 agree?

00:29:54.840 Have you

00:29:55.200 ever heard

00:29:55.760 any public

00:29:56.740 official say

00:29:58.480 anything that

00:29:59.020 was even

00:29:59.360 close, even

00:30:00.780 in the range

00:30:01.840 of being as

00:30:02.920 racist as

00:30:03.560 what Obama

00:30:04.200 said and

00:30:05.300 was reported

00:30:06.540 by the

00:30:07.040 mainstream

00:30:07.420 media as

00:30:08.760 just a

00:30:09.280 comment?

00:30:11.160 That's it.

00:30:12.100 Just a

00:30:12.500 comment.

00:30:14.440 Amazing.

00:30:16.000 So Seth

00:30:16.680 McFarlane,

00:30:18.700 you know

00:30:20.100 him, a

00:30:21.460 brilliant

00:30:22.040 entertainer

00:30:23.800 and creator,

00:30:25.400 has created

00:30:26.040 among other

00:30:27.080 things, the

00:30:27.680 family guy

00:30:28.300 and very

00:30:30.920 successful guy.

00:30:31.780 But when he

00:30:32.100 talks about

00:30:32.560 politics, he

00:30:34.960 is sometimes

00:30:35.760 let's say

00:30:36.940 his skill

00:30:38.140 stack might

00:30:39.260 be a few

00:30:41.180 pancakes

00:30:42.940 short.

00:30:44.320 And I

00:30:45.700 only mock

00:30:46.380 him because

00:30:47.460 his TV

00:30:50.400 show family

00:30:51.060 guy has

00:30:51.620 mocked me

00:30:52.500 personally,

00:30:54.220 meaning they've

00:30:54.880 mocked Dilber

00:30:55.980 as a product,

00:30:56.900 so that's

00:30:57.260 mocking me.

00:30:58.380 Had he

00:30:58.860 never mocked

00:30:59.580 me in public,

00:31:00.660 meaning his

00:31:01.460 property, not

00:31:02.440 him personally

00:31:02.960 necessarily, I

00:31:04.400 would not bother

00:31:05.120 with him.

00:31:06.360 He would

00:31:06.700 just be

00:31:07.020 another person

00:31:07.640 with an

00:31:08.020 opinion, and

00:31:09.920 sometimes I

00:31:11.420 agree, sometimes

00:31:11.940 I don't.

00:31:13.120 But he

00:31:14.420 has very

00:31:14.760 strong opinions

00:31:15.460 on politics,

00:31:16.500 and he is

00:31:17.420 unique in

00:31:18.260 that he's a

00:31:18.700 perfect example

00:31:19.560 of what I

00:31:20.080 write about

00:31:20.500 in my book,

00:31:21.660 Loser Think,

00:31:22.640 Loser Think,

00:31:23.980 which is you

00:31:24.960 can be really

00:31:25.540 smart, and he

00:31:26.740 is really smart,

00:31:28.140 but you

00:31:28.800 can have

00:31:29.160 blind spots

00:31:30.000 if your

00:31:30.620 talent stack

00:31:31.440 does not

00:31:32.020 have, let's

00:31:32.540 say, you

00:31:33.520 know, economics,

00:31:35.760 engineering, there

00:31:36.440 are lots of

00:31:36.920 things which

00:31:37.600 you can have

00:31:37.980 blind spots

00:31:38.560 in, and

00:31:39.480 he's like the

00:31:40.060 best example

00:31:40.800 you'll ever

00:31:41.240 see.

00:31:42.580 So he's

00:31:43.300 talking about

00:31:43.740 the Supreme

00:31:44.280 Court decision

00:31:45.320 that allowed

00:31:45.880 the churches

00:31:46.400 to operate

00:31:48.560 during the

00:31:49.580 pandemic, and

00:31:50.960 so Seth

00:31:52.780 tweets us

00:31:53.420 about Gorsuch.

00:31:54.800 He says,

00:31:55.260 Gorsuch, if

00:31:56.380 you can't

00:31:56.860 make the

00:31:57.260 distinction

00:31:57.760 between the

00:31:58.460 risk level

00:31:59.140 of a small

00:31:59.780 business, like

00:32:01.460 a liquor

00:32:01.780 store, and

00:32:02.840 massive indoor

00:32:03.760 gatherings, like

00:32:05.140 a church, with

00:32:06.160 regard to

00:32:06.820 raging pandemic,

00:32:08.060 you are more

00:32:08.600 scientifically

00:32:09.260 illiterate than

00:32:10.700 the man who

00:32:11.380 appointed you.

00:32:12.940 Now, do you

00:32:13.440 think that

00:32:14.040 Gorsuch was 0.91

00:32:14.840 making a

00:32:16.000 scientific

00:32:16.600 legal decision?

00:32:19.460 What the

00:32:20.220 hell is wrong

00:32:20.760 with Seth

00:32:22.840 McFarland?

00:32:24.160 The law and

00:32:25.880 the Supreme

00:32:26.420 Court is

00:32:27.460 making a

00:32:28.000 legal decision.

00:32:29.780 That's it.

00:32:30.620 It's a legal

00:32:31.140 decision.

00:32:31.980 He's not

00:32:32.420 making a

00:32:32.920 scientific

00:32:33.380 decision.

00:32:34.360 He's not

00:32:34.880 ruling whether

00:32:35.620 masks work.

00:32:37.260 He's not

00:32:37.680 ruling whether

00:32:38.620 social distancing

00:32:40.740 works.

00:32:44.500 So I

00:32:45.260 tweeted back

00:32:45.860 at him, was

00:32:46.400 it a one

00:32:46.800 variable problem?

00:32:48.180 Because I'm

00:32:48.540 pretty sure

00:32:48.940 there's another

00:32:49.520 variable, which

00:32:50.960 is freedom,

00:32:52.900 freedom of

00:32:53.560 religion.

00:32:54.580 There are a

00:32:55.320 few other

00:32:55.700 variables in

00:32:56.400 there, Seth.

00:32:57.460 And the

00:32:58.400 court doesn't

00:32:59.080 rule on all

00:32:59.980 of those

00:33:00.380 variables, just

00:33:01.480 the one.

00:33:03.440 Here's a

00:33:04.080 question I

00:33:04.540 ask just to

00:33:05.160 be provocative,

00:33:06.420 just for fun.

00:33:08.220 So critics

00:33:09.220 have been

00:33:10.180 calling Trump

00:33:11.080 a con

00:33:11.700 man since

00:33:13.060 the beginning,

00:33:14.160 since he was

00:33:14.780 running for

00:33:15.200 office.

00:33:15.740 This is the

00:33:16.040 most common

00:33:16.820 insult you

00:33:18.140 hear, not

00:33:19.280 counting

00:33:19.680 Warren

00:33:20.140 Schiller, I

00:33:20.640 guess.

00:33:21.500 So con

00:33:22.140 man, con

00:33:22.620 man, con

00:33:23.100 man.

00:33:23.280 But they

00:33:23.780 also observe

00:33:24.520 that he

00:33:26.120 apparently

00:33:26.560 used those

00:33:27.420 con

00:33:28.480 man skills

00:33:29.300 to become

00:33:30.420 president of

00:33:31.160 the United

00:33:31.500 States.

00:33:32.640 So do you

00:33:33.500 think that the

00:33:33.960 people who

00:33:34.400 think he's a

00:33:35.040 con man and

00:33:36.540 used those

00:33:37.640 skills and

00:33:38.500 no other

00:33:38.980 skills to

00:33:40.000 get the

00:33:40.360 most prized,

00:33:41.840 highest office

00:33:42.840 in the entire

00:33:43.640 United States,

00:33:45.380 well, that would

00:33:45.840 be successful,

00:33:46.760 right?

00:33:46.980 So if you

00:33:48.060 think it's

00:33:49.120 con man skills

00:33:50.300 and that's

00:33:51.640 what he

00:33:51.900 used, and

00:33:53.500 that it

00:33:53.820 worked to

00:33:55.200 get the

00:33:55.560 highest land

00:33:56.360 in the job

00:33:57.040 running against

00:33:58.260 the most

00:33:58.760 qualified

00:33:59.360 candidate,

00:34:00.060 they said,

00:34:01.140 in years,

00:34:02.600 wouldn't you

00:34:03.040 say that he's

00:34:03.880 really good

00:34:05.020 at being a

00:34:06.700 con man if

00:34:07.380 that was your

00:34:07.900 frame?

00:34:08.600 It's not my

00:34:09.420 frame, but

00:34:10.580 my critics'

00:34:11.660 frame say he's

00:34:12.360 a con man.

00:34:13.220 Wouldn't they

00:34:13.700 also have to

00:34:14.640 conclude that if

00:34:16.260 they hate

00:34:16.700 everything about

00:34:17.420 why he's

00:34:18.040 doing it,

00:34:18.780 his intentions,

00:34:20.060 even if all

00:34:20.800 of that's

00:34:21.260 true, it's

00:34:23.000 not, but

00:34:23.620 suppose all

00:34:24.380 of that was

00:34:24.780 true, wouldn't

00:34:26.760 they still

00:34:27.260 agree that

00:34:28.600 he's good

00:34:29.080 at it?

00:34:30.140 I think so,

00:34:31.440 right?

00:34:32.280 Now, if

00:34:32.860 somebody is

00:34:33.380 that good that

00:34:34.460 they become

00:34:34.960 president, would

00:34:37.000 you call them

00:34:38.040 an expert?

00:34:40.940 Do you

00:34:41.520 think that if

00:34:42.420 it comes to

00:34:43.180 conning people,

00:34:45.200 would you

00:34:45.900 call President

00:34:46.540 Trump, if

00:34:47.660 you're one

00:34:48.020 of his

00:34:48.300 critics,

00:34:49.420 wouldn't

00:34:49.660 you say he's

00:34:50.180 an expert

00:34:50.580 at that?

00:34:51.340 I mean, he

00:34:51.700 did become

00:34:52.120 president.

00:34:53.820 There are

00:34:54.360 people who

00:34:54.680 are writing

00:34:54.980 books about

00:34:55.660 his technique,

00:34:56.640 including me.

00:34:58.260 It's, you

00:34:58.840 know, talking

00:34:59.640 about it all

00:35:00.100 the time.

00:35:00.920 I'd say he's

00:35:01.480 an expert at

00:35:02.640 identifying

00:35:03.300 bullshit.

00:35:05.160 For example,

00:35:06.180 did he not

00:35:06.820 correctly identify

00:35:07.980 that the

00:35:08.780 Paris Climate

00:35:10.100 Accord,

00:35:11.220 although well

00:35:12.000 intentioned,

00:35:12.940 was ultimately

00:35:13.840 a bunch of

00:35:14.360 bullshit.

00:35:15.280 He did,

00:35:16.080 right?

00:35:16.520 Now, maybe

00:35:17.060 those con

00:35:17.720 man skills,

00:35:18.900 according to

00:35:19.420 his critics,

00:35:20.580 came in

00:35:21.020 handy there,

00:35:21.880 because he

00:35:22.460 spotted a

00:35:23.140 con that

00:35:24.460 other people

00:35:25.060 even still

00:35:26.060 think is

00:35:26.480 real.

00:35:27.440 How about

00:35:28.080 comments on

00:35:30.480 other things

00:35:31.080 that look like

00:35:31.720 bullshit?

00:35:32.680 How about

00:35:33.200 when Kerry

00:35:34.180 and all the

00:35:34.780 experts said,

00:35:36.100 hey, you

00:35:36.520 can never

00:35:37.040 create peace

00:35:38.340 in the Middle

00:35:38.800 East unless

00:35:39.400 you get Iran 0.99

00:35:40.200 on board and

00:35:41.000 Palestinians

00:35:41.500 first, and

00:35:43.180 then apparently

00:35:44.080 he's doing

00:35:44.560 it.

00:35:45.480 So he's

00:35:45.880 doing something

00:35:46.480 that was

00:35:46.800 impossible.

00:35:48.940 He seems

00:35:49.500 to be getting

00:35:50.020 it done.

00:35:50.980 I don't know

00:35:51.680 how you could

00:35:52.420 conclude,

00:35:53.740 given all of

00:35:54.900 the examples,

00:35:55.540 that he's not

00:35:56.000 an expert at

00:35:57.680 being a con

00:35:58.540 or recognizing

00:36:00.320 a con, if

00:36:01.160 you're his

00:36:01.460 critic.

00:36:02.260 So here's

00:36:02.720 the question.

00:36:04.420 If he's an 0.92

00:36:05.260 expert and

00:36:06.840 he's looking

00:36:07.280 at the election

00:36:08.040 and he

00:36:09.300 says, in

00:36:10.040 my expert

00:36:10.700 opinion,

00:36:11.320 effectively,

00:36:12.540 this is

00:36:13.380 obviously a

00:36:14.280 con.

00:36:16.100 Why would

00:36:16.880 you not

00:36:17.160 listen to

00:36:17.580 the expert?

00:36:19.540 President

00:36:20.100 Trump's

00:36:20.540 critics are

00:36:21.420 obsessed with

00:36:23.300 the question

00:36:23.940 of listen

00:36:25.120 to the

00:36:25.820 expert.

00:36:27.520 I would

00:36:28.260 say that

00:36:29.620 they have

00:36:30.080 deemed

00:36:30.600 Trump an

00:36:31.360 expert in

00:36:32.100 cons.

00:36:33.140 He just

00:36:33.780 called out

00:36:34.280 the biggest

00:36:34.780 con you've

00:36:35.620 ever seen,

00:36:36.260 which is the

00:36:36.720 election.

00:36:37.060 reason, why

00:36:38.100 wouldn't you

00:36:38.440 believe him?

00:36:39.540 He is an

00:36:40.080 expert at

00:36:40.600 this.

00:36:41.760 Do you

00:36:42.040 think that

00:36:43.620 Rudy Giuliani

00:36:44.940 is not an

00:36:46.660 expert at

00:36:47.500 identifying

00:36:48.260 organized

00:36:49.680 crime?

00:36:52.220 He is.

00:36:53.620 He is an

00:36:54.520 expert at

00:36:55.320 recognizing

00:36:56.320 organized crime.

00:36:58.380 In fact, I

00:36:59.040 don't know who

00:36:59.420 would be better

00:36:59.900 at it.

00:37:00.600 If you were

00:37:01.140 going to pick

00:37:01.460 one person in

00:37:02.280 the whole

00:37:02.580 United States

00:37:03.540 that you

00:37:04.400 had to

00:37:04.800 trust to

00:37:06.200 identify

00:37:06.840 organized

00:37:07.840 crime based

00:37:09.260 on preliminary

00:37:10.340 indications before

00:37:12.360 it goes through

00:37:12.940 court, who

00:37:13.940 would you

00:37:14.260 pick ahead

00:37:14.880 of Trump

00:37:16.200 and Rudy

00:37:18.260 Giuliani?

00:37:19.800 I don't

00:37:20.440 think there's

00:37:20.900 anybody I

00:37:21.360 would pick

00:37:21.660 ahead of

00:37:21.960 those two.

00:37:23.100 They're pretty

00:37:23.720 much experts

00:37:24.480 at this.

00:37:25.760 Anyway,

00:37:26.640 now, somebody

00:37:28.360 weighed in

00:37:28.860 and said

00:37:29.360 that the

00:37:31.180 reason you

00:37:31.960 wouldn't trust

00:37:32.600 Trump on

00:37:33.300 this is

00:37:34.060 because this

00:37:34.800 too is

00:37:36.280 another

00:37:36.580 con, which

00:37:38.080 was a

00:37:38.360 pretty clever

00:37:38.820 answer.

00:37:39.840 Remember, I'm

00:37:40.360 doing this

00:37:40.680 just for fun.

00:37:41.400 I'm not

00:37:41.620 trying to be

00:37:42.100 too logical

00:37:42.800 here.

00:37:43.440 But what I

00:37:43.960 pointed out

00:37:44.480 in return

00:37:45.680 is that

00:37:46.560 that's no

00:37:47.580 different than

00:37:48.180 your other

00:37:48.700 experts.

00:37:50.520 Because if

00:37:51.300 you can't

00:37:51.800 trust Trump

00:37:53.340 to be an

00:37:53.940 expert on

00:37:54.640 cons,

00:37:55.620 because he

00:37:57.080 might be

00:37:57.440 conning you

00:37:58.100 about the

00:37:59.300 con, how

00:38:01.000 is that

00:38:01.240 different from

00:38:01.720 your financial

00:38:02.340 advisor?

00:38:03.920 It's not.

00:38:05.280 You just

00:38:05.660 think it

00:38:06.000 is.

00:38:06.780 Your financial

00:38:07.500 advisor wants

00:38:08.500 you to buy

00:38:09.080 financial products

00:38:10.900 that the

00:38:11.280 financial advisor

00:38:12.180 gets a cut

00:38:12.800 of.

00:38:13.700 Your financial

00:38:14.460 advisor isn't

00:38:15.200 trying to make

00:38:15.760 you rich.

00:38:16.780 Your financial

00:38:17.500 advisor is

00:38:18.080 making him

00:38:19.540 rich or

00:38:20.640 her rich.

00:38:21.700 Right?

00:38:22.720 Financial

00:38:23.280 advice is a

00:38:24.180 con.

00:38:25.280 How about

00:38:25.720 scientific

00:38:26.360 advice?

00:38:27.920 Well, we're

00:38:28.400 pretty aware

00:38:29.120 that our

00:38:29.680 scientists are

00:38:30.380 either, you

00:38:31.560 know, being

00:38:31.880 paid by

00:38:32.720 oil companies

00:38:34.320 or they're

00:38:35.100 wedded to

00:38:36.420 the green

00:38:37.000 deal and

00:38:37.800 they'll benefit

00:38:38.740 if the green

00:38:39.640 thing happens

00:38:40.520 bigger.

00:38:41.340 It's all

00:38:42.240 cons.

00:38:43.280 We don't

00:38:43.860 have objective

00:38:45.200 experts.

00:38:46.800 That's not a

00:38:47.520 thing.

00:38:48.340 All the

00:38:48.760 experts have

00:38:49.320 something in

00:38:50.760 it for

00:38:51.440 themselves.

00:38:52.900 So if

00:38:53.740 Trump is an

00:38:54.580 expert on

00:38:55.220 cons, but

00:38:56.740 the problem

00:38:57.240 is he's

00:38:58.740 also might

00:39:00.460 be doing a

00:39:01.000 con.

00:39:01.560 That's

00:39:02.480 exactly the

00:39:03.440 same as

00:39:04.820 every one

00:39:05.620 of the

00:39:05.860 experts that

00:39:07.100 Biden tells

00:39:07.780 you to

00:39:08.120 believe.

00:39:09.240 Everyone.

00:39:10.300 They all

00:39:10.980 have an

00:39:11.400 incentive for

00:39:14.080 the con,

00:39:14.880 which doesn't

00:39:15.640 mean they're

00:39:15.980 all conning,

00:39:17.320 but they've

00:39:18.200 all got an

00:39:18.720 incentive.

00:39:20.720 So I

00:39:21.840 wouldn't be

00:39:22.220 so sure that

00:39:23.220 your experts

00:39:23.960 are any

00:39:24.340 better than

00:39:24.880 Trump on

00:39:26.020 any question.

00:39:26.720 Trump tweeted

00:39:30.000 that Section

00:39:30.580 230 must be

00:39:31.540 immediately

00:39:31.980 terminated.

00:39:32.760 Let me give

00:39:33.060 you some

00:39:33.300 more examples

00:39:33.860 of why

00:39:34.440 that's

00:39:34.780 true.

00:39:37.260 Senator

00:39:37.980 Mastriano,

00:39:39.220 who organized

00:39:40.300 that Gettysburg

00:39:41.140 hearing on

00:39:41.980 the election,

00:39:43.120 alleged fraud.

00:39:45.240 His accounts

00:39:46.200 got suspended

00:39:46.900 by Twitter.

00:39:48.740 A senator

00:39:49.460 suspended by

00:39:51.280 Twitter.

00:39:51.600 And I'm

00:39:53.820 pretty sure,

00:39:54.700 I don't know

00:39:55.360 the details,

00:39:56.040 but I'm

00:39:56.620 pretty sure

00:39:57.300 that whatever

00:39:58.320 got him

00:39:58.820 suspended was

00:39:59.620 an opinion.

00:40:01.960 If he got

00:40:02.840 suspended for

00:40:03.920 an opinion,

00:40:05.060 now, it

00:40:05.800 might have

00:40:06.080 been wrong,

00:40:07.140 it might have

00:40:07.620 been right,

00:40:08.900 but that's

00:40:10.200 not the

00:40:10.560 criteria,

00:40:11.020 is it?

00:40:12.280 It looks

00:40:12.940 like Twitter

00:40:14.940 has decided

00:40:15.660 that they

00:40:16.080 will just

00:40:16.440 judge what's

00:40:17.180 true and

00:40:17.680 what's not.

00:40:19.180 They will

00:40:19.640 overrule a

00:40:20.700 senator.

00:40:21.600 And they

00:40:22.800 will decide

00:40:23.440 that you,

00:40:24.940 as somebody

00:40:25.380 who voted

00:40:25.900 for that

00:40:26.380 senator,

00:40:27.320 can't fucking

00:40:28.040 hear what

00:40:28.460 he has to

00:40:28.940 say.

00:40:30.060 Twitter

00:40:30.360 decided that.

00:40:32.280 Twitter

00:40:32.740 decided to

00:40:35.140 disenfranchise

00:40:36.420 you from

00:40:37.100 your elected

00:40:38.240 official and

00:40:39.620 make sure

00:40:40.160 that the

00:40:41.080 most common

00:40:41.760 way you

00:40:42.260 could find

00:40:42.720 out what

00:40:43.120 he was

00:40:43.420 thinking is

00:40:44.700 removed from

00:40:46.120 your toolbox.

00:40:48.840 Temporarily in

00:40:49.540 this case,

00:40:50.040 but they can

00:40:50.400 do it as

00:40:50.740 many times

00:40:51.240 as they

00:40:51.580 need to.

00:40:53.080 All right,

00:40:53.440 how about,

00:40:54.820 so now you've

00:40:55.440 seen the

00:40:55.760 plot against

00:40:56.300 the president

00:40:56.820 removed,

00:40:57.860 you've seen

00:40:58.280 Senator

00:40:58.840 Mastroianno

00:40:59.820 being suspended,

00:41:01.760 and you've

00:41:02.880 seen Facebook's

00:41:04.820 deal with

00:41:06.020 promoting the

00:41:07.300 so-called

00:41:07.940 less hyper-partisan

00:41:09.660 stuff, which is

00:41:10.360 bullshit.

00:41:11.540 If ever there

00:41:12.700 was a time to

00:41:13.520 do this

00:41:13.920 Section 230

00:41:14.660 thing,

00:41:15.700 now it's a

00:41:16.400 slam dunk.

00:41:17.080 look, there

00:41:18.380 really is no

00:41:19.500 argument anymore.

00:41:20.980 It's gone.

00:41:22.700 And believe me,

00:41:23.540 I would say I

00:41:26.480 was completely

00:41:27.380 unconvinced one

00:41:30.420 week ago.

00:41:32.420 I mean, I

00:41:33.020 didn't have a

00:41:33.480 decision either

00:41:34.060 way.

00:41:34.880 I was just

00:41:35.340 sort of

00:41:35.680 monitoring it,

00:41:36.500 trying to

00:41:36.840 figure out if

00:41:37.340 I could form

00:41:38.360 a decision,

00:41:39.340 but now I'd

00:41:40.060 say this is

00:41:41.900 clear as it

00:41:42.380 could possibly.

00:41:42.680 Also, the

00:41:43.620 links to

00:41:44.380 Sidney Powell's

00:41:45.980 documents, I

00:41:47.080 think those

00:41:47.480 were removed

00:41:48.100 too.

00:41:48.980 All right, I

00:41:50.120 asked this

00:41:50.520 question, is it

00:41:51.560 technically possible

00:41:52.580 to make a

00:41:53.260 secure voting

00:41:54.120 app?

00:41:54.880 I asked this

00:41:55.840 because I

00:41:57.140 think there's

00:41:57.580 going to be a

00:41:58.020 big difference

00:41:58.760 in the opinions

00:42:00.240 of people who

00:42:00.940 know how to

00:42:01.580 do stuff versus

00:42:03.240 the people who

00:42:03.880 don't know how

00:42:04.280 to do stuff.

00:42:06.040 And I feel,

00:42:08.340 and this is

00:42:08.820 more of a gut

00:42:09.660 feeling based on

00:42:10.780 experience,

00:42:11.300 that it's

00:42:13.160 doable.

00:42:14.840 I think maybe

00:42:15.760 it wasn't

00:42:16.300 doable before

00:42:17.060 blockchain.

00:42:18.220 I think maybe

00:42:18.840 it wasn't

00:42:19.500 doable before

00:42:20.520 facial recognition,

00:42:22.360 before you

00:42:23.000 could take a

00:42:23.480 fingerprint,

00:42:24.420 before you

00:42:24.940 could do lots

00:42:25.520 of other

00:42:25.800 stuff.

00:42:26.260 But I think

00:42:26.660 at the moment

00:42:27.340 we finally

00:42:28.840 have all the

00:42:29.540 pieces that

00:42:31.560 we could build

00:42:33.640 an app that

00:42:34.740 would be at

00:42:35.560 least way more

00:42:36.180 secure than

00:42:36.780 what we have.

00:42:37.480 Nothing's

00:42:37.820 100%, I guess.

00:42:39.360 And I have

00:42:40.620 seen people

00:42:41.100 say, oh,

00:42:41.840 you think

00:42:42.260 blockchain's

00:42:43.040 the answer,

00:42:43.720 but somebody

00:42:44.500 thinks maybe

00:42:45.160 not.

00:42:46.060 So I don't

00:42:46.860 know that it's

00:42:47.380 a settled

00:42:47.820 question.

00:42:48.960 But like I

00:42:49.580 said, somebody

00:42:50.600 should build

00:42:51.140 the app and

00:42:52.160 then just run

00:42:53.000 it in parallel

00:42:53.700 for the next

00:42:54.580 election.

00:42:56.060 And don't

00:42:56.700 count the

00:42:57.140 app, just run

00:42:57.860 it in parallel

00:42:58.400 and see what

00:42:58.980 you get, see

00:42:59.760 if you learn

00:43:00.160 anything.

00:43:00.900 But we should

00:43:01.700 definitely be

00:43:02.320 running one in

00:43:03.000 parallel by

00:43:03.620 2022.

00:43:04.820 It doesn't

00:43:05.520 take that long

00:43:06.220 to build an

00:43:06.740 app.

00:43:08.120 Let's see

00:43:08.780 some prototypes.

00:43:09.600 We should

00:43:10.500 have a dozen

00:43:11.100 different prototypes,

00:43:12.760 different startups

00:43:13.560 or whatever, and

00:43:14.580 we should be able

00:43:15.060 to run them

00:43:15.520 all.

00:43:16.120 I would say

00:43:16.600 the main

00:43:17.020 thing that you

00:43:17.480 need to get

00:43:17.940 a fair election

00:43:18.780 is that you

00:43:20.340 can identify

00:43:21.080 the voter,

00:43:23.400 which the

00:43:23.940 app can do

00:43:24.580 better than a

00:43:25.800 human can do,

00:43:27.200 and that the

00:43:30.460 voter can audit

00:43:31.940 their own vote

00:43:32.980 all the way to

00:43:33.680 the end

00:43:34.000 point.

00:43:34.860 And they can

00:43:35.320 make sure that

00:43:35.920 their vote got

00:43:36.600 recorded the way

00:43:37.620 they wanted

00:43:38.100 it to.

00:43:39.280 Could the

00:43:39.700 app be built

00:43:40.200 to do that?

00:43:40.720 I say yes.

00:43:42.780 There's lots

00:43:43.380 of ways to do

00:43:43.940 it wrong, but

00:43:45.480 I think you

00:43:45.860 could do it.

00:43:48.780 CBS News

00:43:49.640 is reporting,

00:43:50.840 and reporting

00:43:51.520 is a stretch,

00:43:53.620 that Trump

00:43:54.320 supporters are

00:43:55.100 reportedly calling

00:43:56.000 for a boycott

00:43:56.940 on voting in

00:43:58.700 the Senate

00:43:59.120 election.

00:44:00.840 Now, do you

00:44:01.500 believe that

00:44:02.620 story?

00:44:03.820 Now, do you

00:44:04.300 think that CBS

00:44:05.100 News is really

00:44:07.080 reporting this

00:44:07.840 as news,

00:44:09.260 because it's

00:44:09.740 real, that

00:44:11.160 Trump supporters

00:44:12.000 might want to

00:44:13.720 not vote in

00:44:14.620 the Senate

00:44:14.980 election?

00:44:16.560 Oh, my

00:44:18.220 God.

00:44:19.680 This could

00:44:20.580 not be more

00:44:21.600 obvious propaganda.

00:44:23.580 They're trying

00:44:24.240 to create this

00:44:25.080 idea that

00:44:26.620 Trump supporters

00:44:27.360 would not vote

00:44:28.420 on a principle.

00:44:30.520 There are no

00:44:31.420 Trump supporters

00:44:32.440 recommending a

00:44:34.020 boycott.

00:44:35.180 This is

00:44:36.200 disinformation.

00:44:37.580 Now, I'm

00:44:37.840 not saying

00:44:38.220 there isn't

00:44:38.580 some one

00:44:39.300 idiot somewhere

00:44:40.000 who would

00:44:40.940 say anything,

00:44:41.880 but no, it's

00:44:43.420 not true that

00:44:44.820 Trump supporters

00:44:45.500 are considering

00:44:46.340 not voting in

00:44:48.060 the most

00:44:48.420 important election

00:44:49.340 in their lives.

00:44:51.560 No, that is

00:44:53.180 not.

00:44:54.700 Somebody says

00:44:55.260 Ali was trying

00:44:56.380 to push it.

00:44:57.000 No, he

00:44:57.280 wasn't.

00:44:58.460 All right.

00:44:58.840 If you're

00:44:59.260 telling me that

00:44:59.760 Ali Alexander

00:45:00.660 was convincing

00:45:02.160 Republicans to

00:45:04.980 not vote in

00:45:05.940 the Senate

00:45:06.280 race, don't 1.00

00:45:07.820 even try to

00:45:09.080 tell me that.

00:45:10.640 Don't try to

00:45:11.340 tell me that.

00:45:12.780 It can't be

00:45:13.740 true.

00:45:15.040 Now, I know

00:45:15.480 you're going to

00:45:15.920 send me a

00:45:16.460 tweet, and

00:45:17.620 you're going to

00:45:18.060 think that it

00:45:18.620 says that.

00:45:20.540 I'll bet it

00:45:21.280 doesn't.

00:45:22.720 I'll make you

00:45:23.480 a bet.

00:45:24.080 So all of you

00:45:24.820 have seen the

00:45:25.540 facts, right?

00:45:26.540 So those who

00:45:27.140 are saying that

00:45:27.780 it's real, and

00:45:29.480 that Ali 0.96

00:45:30.020 Alexander is

00:45:30.780 pushing it, I

00:45:31.720 haven't seen

00:45:32.400 it, so even

00:45:33.920 with no facts

00:45:35.160 and no

00:45:35.940 information, I

00:45:37.560 will say with

00:45:38.120 confidence it's

00:45:39.100 not true.

00:45:41.540 I'll bet if

00:45:42.340 you read it, and

00:45:43.860 if you ask

00:45:44.480 him, you'll 0.78

00:45:46.520 find out that

00:45:47.160 you're

00:45:47.360 misinterpreting

00:45:48.120 something.

00:45:50.400 All right?

00:45:52.880 Somebody on

00:45:54.180 Periscope, somebody

00:45:55.020 is saying he

00:45:55.500 retracted it.

00:45:57.020 Are you

00:45:57.320 happy?

00:45:57.540 I guarantee

00:45:59.960 Alexander, all

00:46:02.260 right?

00:46:03.220 And here's why I

00:46:04.760 guarantee it.

00:46:06.140 He's not an

00:46:06.960 idiot. 0.79

00:46:08.000 You would have

00:46:08.660 to be the

00:46:09.140 biggest idiot

00:46:09.840 in the world

00:46:10.640 to be pushing

00:46:11.860 that.

00:46:12.820 Now, if he

00:46:13.440 played with it

00:46:14.260 and retracted

00:46:15.040 it, he may

00:46:16.360 have some

00:46:16.720 scheme going

00:46:17.240 there in

00:46:18.340 terms of

00:46:18.820 communication

00:46:19.380 style, but

00:46:20.920 there's no

00:46:21.360 way he thinks

00:46:22.520 that's a good

00:46:23.040 idea.

00:46:23.380 Trump said

00:46:28.780 that he

00:46:29.120 would leave

00:46:29.700 office if he

00:46:30.480 loses the

00:46:31.060 Electoral College.

00:46:32.040 Of course, that's

00:46:32.600 a big if, I

00:46:33.180 suppose.

00:46:34.260 But I think

00:46:35.020 at this point,

00:46:36.420 we should

00:46:37.340 review our

00:46:38.900 predictions.

00:46:40.020 If you

00:46:40.680 predicted that

00:46:42.300 Trump would

00:46:42.920 lose in the

00:46:43.640 Electoral College

00:46:44.480 and remain in

00:46:45.420 office, or

00:46:46.060 even try to

00:46:46.660 remain in

00:46:47.080 office, you

00:46:48.440 need to

00:46:49.260 check your

00:46:51.260 ability to

00:46:52.780 predict.

00:46:53.600 I would

00:46:54.160 say anybody

00:46:54.880 who made

00:46:55.420 this prediction

00:46:56.300 that Trump

00:46:57.520 would fight

00:46:58.040 to remain

00:46:58.660 in office

00:46:59.260 even at

00:47:00.320 the risk

00:47:00.700 of violence

00:47:01.300 if the

00:47:02.340 Electoral College

00:47:03.100 said he

00:47:03.520 lost, you

00:47:05.160 really have

00:47:05.700 to check

00:47:06.300 your ability

00:47:06.940 to predict

00:47:07.580 because you're

00:47:08.760 terrible at

00:47:09.520 predicting.

00:47:10.480 If you had

00:47:11.300 not predicted

00:47:12.040 that Trump

00:47:12.880 would get

00:47:13.240 elected in

00:47:13.900 2016, I

00:47:15.580 would say

00:47:15.980 that was

00:47:16.300 pretty reasonable.

00:47:17.840 You're not

00:47:18.540 a bad

00:47:19.060 predictor if

00:47:20.420 he got that

00:47:20.980 one wrong.

00:47:21.960 I think

00:47:22.360 you're probably

00:47:22.760 a good

00:47:23.260 predictor if

00:47:24.300 he got it

00:47:24.760 right, but

00:47:25.800 there wouldn't

00:47:26.140 be anything

00:47:26.580 dumb or

00:47:27.140 stupid about 0.61

00:47:27.920 getting that

00:47:29.000 wrong.

00:47:30.320 Likewise, in

00:47:31.360 this last

00:47:32.240 election, no

00:47:33.540 matter who

00:47:34.060 you predicted

00:47:34.660 was going to

00:47:35.260 win, if

00:47:36.540 you got it

00:47:37.000 right or

00:47:37.540 you got it

00:47:37.960 wrong, it's

00:47:38.960 not saying

00:47:39.440 too much

00:47:39.940 about your

00:47:40.380 predictive

00:47:40.820 ability because

00:47:42.160 the odds are

00:47:43.100 it was going

00:47:43.460 to be close.

00:47:44.980 But if you

00:47:45.480 predicted that

00:47:46.180 the president

00:47:46.760 would use

00:47:48.000 violence to

00:47:49.360 try to stay

00:47:49.980 in office,

00:47:51.360 you really

00:47:53.360 have to ask

00:47:53.960 yourself if

00:47:54.520 you're good

00:47:54.860 at predicting

00:47:55.380 because you

00:47:56.880 might be

00:47:57.440 really, really

00:47:58.620 bad at

00:47:59.100 predicting.

00:48:00.100 I don't

00:48:00.640 think there

00:48:00.980 was anything

00:48:01.440 more predictable

00:48:02.380 than the

00:48:03.640 fact that he

00:48:04.100 wouldn't do

00:48:04.540 that.

00:48:05.320 It's not even

00:48:05.860 close to

00:48:06.560 something that

00:48:07.860 seems in the

00:48:10.080 neighborhood if

00:48:10.700 possible.

00:48:12.060 I still could

00:48:12.840 be wrong,

00:48:14.580 right?

00:48:15.020 There's always a

00:48:15.760 non-zero chance

00:48:16.720 anything could

00:48:17.160 happen, but I

00:48:18.180 think you really

00:48:18.720 have to check

00:48:19.340 yourself if

00:48:20.440 you predict

00:48:20.920 that.

00:48:22.340 All right.

00:48:26.000 USA Today

00:48:27.000 says this.

00:48:30.900 Nonpartisan

00:48:31.540 investigations of

00:48:32.820 previous elections

00:48:33.880 have found that

00:48:35.120 voter fraud is

00:48:36.440 exceedingly rare.

00:48:38.900 State officials

00:48:39.500 from both

00:48:40.120 parties, as

00:48:41.080 well as

00:48:41.420 international

00:48:41.980 observers, have

00:48:43.300 also stated that

00:48:44.300 the 2020 election

00:48:45.520 went well.

00:48:46.700 Well, that is

00:48:48.780 pure propaganda.

00:48:51.600 Let me break

00:48:52.500 it apart.

00:48:53.720 They say

00:48:54.120 nonpartisan

00:48:55.120 investigators

00:48:55.980 looked into

00:48:57.080 the election.

00:48:58.520 Who is a

00:48:59.100 nonpartisan

00:49:00.060 investigator?

00:49:01.560 In 2020, the

00:49:03.500 USA Today is

00:49:04.740 trying to tell

00:49:05.480 you, a

00:49:06.400 thinking human

00:49:07.320 being who

00:49:07.980 lives in the

00:49:08.560 world, that

00:49:09.540 there exists

00:49:10.440 such a thing

00:49:11.420 as a nonpartisan

00:49:13.100 investigator into

00:49:14.660 our elections.

00:49:15.340 Okay, USA Today,

00:49:17.360 we're not

00:49:17.860 fucking idiots. 0.97

00:49:18.920 There's no such

00:49:19.600 thing as a

00:49:20.580 nonpartisan

00:49:21.320 investigator.

00:49:22.680 There might be

00:49:23.460 somebody who

00:49:23.940 lied to you, and

00:49:24.960 you're dumb

00:49:25.320 enough to

00:49:25.720 believe it.

00:49:26.660 There are no

00:49:27.600 nonpartisan

00:49:28.680 investigators.

00:49:30.380 None.

00:49:31.300 None.

00:49:32.180 They don't

00:49:32.680 exist.

00:49:34.720 And then they

00:49:35.580 say, previous

00:49:37.420 elections have

00:49:39.080 found that voter

00:49:39.780 fraud is

00:49:40.480 exceedingly rare.

00:49:42.120 Did they?

00:49:42.840 Or did they

00:49:43.420 simply find that

00:49:44.280 they didn't

00:49:44.640 find it?

00:49:46.720 All they

00:49:47.400 know is that

00:49:48.020 they didn't

00:49:48.340 find it.

00:49:50.060 There are

00:49:50.720 lots of

00:49:51.120 things which

00:49:51.620 exist which

00:49:52.820 I can't

00:49:53.320 find.

00:49:54.540 Does gold

00:49:55.460 exist?

00:49:56.740 I think gold

00:49:57.780 exists.

00:49:58.900 I looked in

00:49:59.720 my backyard and

00:50:00.460 I didn't find

00:50:00.960 any.

00:50:02.200 So does gold

00:50:03.540 not exist?

00:50:04.260 Because I

00:50:04.680 looked in my

00:50:05.180 whole backyard

00:50:05.840 and I don't

00:50:06.920 think there was

00:50:07.340 any gold back

00:50:08.000 there.

00:50:08.240 so every

00:50:10.520 part of this

00:50:11.620 statement just

00:50:13.760 reeks of not

00:50:15.020 even trying to

00:50:16.840 be something like

00:50:17.800 news.

00:50:18.340 Not even

00:50:18.800 trying.

00:50:21.220 I think we

00:50:21.960 need a high

00:50:22.540 school class in

00:50:23.640 spotting propaganda.

00:50:24.680 And I tweeted

00:50:26.200 that and a few

00:50:26.800 people said they

00:50:27.440 actually have taken

00:50:28.360 that course.

00:50:29.800 So apparently in

00:50:30.940 at least one

00:50:31.580 private school that

00:50:32.480 I heard of they

00:50:33.480 do actually have a

00:50:34.560 class or at least

00:50:35.700 section of a class

00:50:36.660 where they're asked

00:50:37.840 to read headlines

00:50:39.880 in the news and

00:50:41.320 pick out the

00:50:41.900 propaganda from

00:50:43.100 the news.

00:50:45.360 Wouldn't that be a

00:50:46.360 great class?

00:50:48.480 Wouldn't you want

00:50:49.280 your own kid to

00:50:51.200 have a class that

00:50:53.240 taught them to look

00:50:54.020 at headlines and

00:50:54.940 then do a report

00:50:55.800 on how it was

00:50:57.180 really propaganda?

00:50:59.300 That's a good

00:51:00.140 class.

00:51:01.420 All right.

00:51:02.160 Let's have some

00:51:02.700 more of those.

00:51:05.380 There's some fake

00:51:06.300 news on net

00:51:07.160 deaths which will

00:51:08.400 fool many of you

00:51:09.540 probably has.

00:51:10.940 Allegedly there

00:51:11.780 was some John

00:51:12.540 Hopkins study

00:51:13.980 showing that the

00:51:15.260 rate of deaths is

00:51:16.300 similar to previous

00:51:17.460 years which is what

00:51:19.020 you want to believe

00:51:19.980 right?

00:51:20.860 If you want to be

00:51:21.920 a coronavirus

00:51:22.860 denier or whatever

00:51:24.700 don't you kind of

00:51:25.760 want to believe

00:51:26.660 that it's all just

00:51:28.020 a hoax?

00:51:29.300 Don't you want

00:51:30.060 to believe that

00:51:31.860 it's not really

00:51:32.960 that bad and

00:51:33.680 maybe it's just

00:51:34.220 over if we just

00:51:35.000 realize it's not

00:51:36.220 that bad?

00:51:37.420 Well it took

00:51:38.220 about two seconds

00:51:39.080 for people to

00:51:41.400 call bullshit on

00:51:42.220 that.

00:51:42.800 I called bullshit

00:51:43.840 on it without

00:51:44.700 research and I

00:51:47.000 did it on this

00:51:47.500 basis.

00:51:48.440 If this were

00:51:49.180 true that John

00:51:51.320 Hopkins had done

00:51:52.260 a study and

00:51:52.960 shown that there

00:51:53.560 were no excess

00:51:54.460 deaths it would

00:51:55.860 be the biggest

00:51:56.380 headline in the

00:51:57.080 country.

00:51:58.160 And even if the

00:51:59.200 mainstream media

00:52:00.020 ignored it it

00:52:01.480 would at least be

00:52:02.260 on the places

00:52:02.860 that sometimes

00:52:03.740 will give you

00:52:04.760 real news it

00:52:06.580 wouldn't be

00:52:07.000 invisible and

00:52:07.960 it wouldn't be

00:52:08.400 only in this

00:52:09.020 tweet.

00:52:10.360 So one of the

00:52:10.960 things I would

00:52:11.500 teach my class

00:52:12.640 my high school

00:52:13.300 class on spotting

00:52:14.340 propaganda if it

00:52:15.440 existed was that

00:52:17.720 news that comes

00:52:18.520 from one source

00:52:19.800 and doesn't seem

00:52:20.680 to spread to the

00:52:21.540 other sources at

00:52:22.880 the same time it

00:52:23.680 would be the

00:52:24.120 biggest story in

00:52:24.840 the whole country

00:52:25.440 that is a really

00:52:27.440 good indicator.

00:52:29.880 So sure enough

00:52:31.120 the page that

00:52:32.900 had that claim

00:52:33.780 was deleted

00:52:34.700 within hours

00:52:36.740 it was deleted

00:52:37.520 as being BS

00:52:38.680 and denied.

00:52:39.880 So there is no

00:52:40.800 such thing as 0.74

00:52:42.620 some evidence

00:52:43.440 that the

00:52:44.820 coronavirus is

00:52:45.960 not killing

00:52:46.580 people at a

00:52:47.560 higher level

00:52:48.180 than if we

00:52:49.400 had a regular

00:52:49.920 economy.

00:52:52.080 Here is another

00:52:53.200 dog that isn't

00:52:54.100 barking.

00:52:56.280 So now for

00:52:57.340 it's been over a

00:52:58.100 day right that

00:52:58.980 the Sidney

00:52:59.820 Powell accusations

00:53:00.800 have been out.

00:53:02.040 The cracking if

00:53:02.800 you will.

00:53:03.720 Lots and lots of

00:53:04.580 claims in the

00:53:06.000 I guess two

00:53:06.660 different lawsuits

00:53:07.420 and plenty of

00:53:08.580 claims.

00:53:09.520 Now I've seen

00:53:10.000 lots of stories

00:53:10.860 about the

00:53:12.520 typos.

00:53:13.980 I've seen lots

00:53:14.640 of stories talking

00:53:16.100 about the

00:53:16.800 people.

00:53:17.960 You know

00:53:18.140 Sidney Powell

00:53:18.860 this or that.

00:53:20.420 Have you seen

00:53:21.420 any mainstream

00:53:23.620 media entity

00:53:24.980 go through the

00:53:26.680 accusations and

00:53:27.980 and attempt

00:53:29.800 to debunk

00:53:30.660 them or

00:53:32.020 attempt to

00:53:32.820 confirm them.

00:53:35.200 Shouldn't that

00:53:36.100 be a really

00:53:36.820 big story?

00:53:39.900 Isn't that

00:53:40.860 kind of important

00:53:41.940 to know?

00:53:43.040 Are those

00:53:43.880 real?

00:53:45.460 Now when I

00:53:46.420 was doing my

00:53:47.460 humorous

00:53:48.840 impression of

00:53:51.180 the reporters

00:53:51.920 looking at that

00:53:53.020 cracking document

00:53:54.400 with all those

00:53:55.080 claims,

00:53:56.420 they're journalists.

00:53:57.360 what are they

00:53:58.940 going to do?

00:54:00.280 They can't judge

00:54:01.460 any of those

00:54:02.180 claims.

00:54:02.980 They don't have

00:54:03.400 the skills.

00:54:04.580 And suppose

00:54:05.060 they went

00:54:06.500 and found an

00:54:07.360 expert to help

00:54:08.300 them to give

00:54:10.240 some quotes and

00:54:11.100 judge the claims

00:54:13.120 in the lawsuit.

00:54:14.460 How do you

00:54:15.180 find that

00:54:15.600 expert?

00:54:16.960 Who is it

00:54:17.580 who has

00:54:17.980 looked at

00:54:18.360 those very

00:54:18.920 claims?

00:54:20.660 I don't know.

00:54:22.040 Could you

00:54:22.400 even find one?

00:54:23.600 So you have

00:54:24.160 this gigantic

00:54:24.940 story that by

00:54:26.060 its nature,

00:54:27.600 the mainstream

00:54:28.240 media just

00:54:29.460 has to look

00:54:30.000 at it and

00:54:30.420 go,

00:54:31.360 I don't

00:54:34.340 know what

00:54:34.620 to do with

00:54:35.100 this.

00:54:35.760 I can't

00:54:36.280 talk about

00:54:36.940 it because

00:54:37.560 I don't

00:54:37.840 really understand

00:54:38.700 all these

00:54:39.140 claims.

00:54:40.020 And I can't

00:54:40.720 really find

00:54:41.280 anybody that

00:54:42.040 I would

00:54:42.380 trust to

00:54:43.840 give me an

00:54:44.320 opinion because

00:54:45.260 there are no

00:54:45.760 such things as

00:54:47.000 non-partisan

00:54:48.520 analysts.

00:54:49.760 It doesn't

00:54:50.400 exist.

00:54:51.440 There are no

00:54:52.080 non-partisans in

00:54:53.220 this country.

00:54:54.720 What's the

00:54:55.660 journalists to

00:54:56.280 do?

00:54:58.140 I think they

00:54:58.980 just say,

00:54:59.740 hey, it's

00:55:00.360 not widespread,

00:55:01.240 it's not

00:55:01.560 baseless, let's

00:55:02.700 go to lunch.

00:55:04.160 Right?

00:55:06.060 So the fact

00:55:07.080 that you're not

00:55:08.380 seeing anybody

00:55:09.600 go down the

00:55:10.420 list and try to

00:55:11.340 debunk it or

00:55:12.020 not debunk it,

00:55:13.320 that should tell

00:55:14.000 you a little

00:55:14.500 bit.

00:55:15.460 I had to look

00:55:16.200 up the word

00:55:17.340 baseless because

00:55:18.380 it keeps being

00:55:19.120 used.

00:55:19.660 Marion Webster

00:55:22.020 says that

00:55:22.560 baseless is

00:55:23.480 defined as

00:55:24.220 quote, having

00:55:25.540 no basis in

00:55:26.640 reason or

00:55:27.700 fact.

00:55:29.520 Do Sidney

00:55:30.560 Powell's

00:55:31.480 allegations in

00:55:33.120 the lawsuit,

00:55:34.280 do they have

00:55:35.240 no basis in

00:55:36.700 reason or

00:55:37.600 fact?

00:55:39.780 Well, there

00:55:40.560 are claims,

00:55:41.420 and I would

00:55:41.740 say that those

00:55:42.360 claims, you

00:55:43.780 could make a

00:55:44.600 strong argument

00:55:45.560 that they don't

00:55:46.420 become fact in

00:55:47.600 a way that

00:55:48.040 matters until

00:55:49.160 they go through

00:55:49.720 the court and

00:55:50.280 the court says

00:55:50.800 there are

00:55:51.040 facts.

00:55:51.780 So could you

00:55:52.400 say that the

00:55:53.040 facts have

00:55:54.240 not been

00:55:54.880 established?

00:55:56.900 I think that's

00:55:57.820 fair.

00:55:58.640 I think it's

00:55:59.120 fair to say

00:55:59.640 that the

00:56:00.040 facts are

00:56:01.220 alleged, but

00:56:02.820 they're not

00:56:03.200 established by

00:56:04.460 a credible

00:56:05.860 entity such

00:56:06.880 as a court.

00:56:08.440 But, that's

00:56:10.240 the fact part.

00:56:12.060 Here's the

00:56:12.520 definition again,

00:56:13.600 having no basis

00:56:14.380 in reason or

00:56:16.160 fact.

00:56:17.260 Does it have

00:56:18.020 to be fact

00:56:19.480 based to

00:56:21.460 have a

00:56:21.780 base?

00:56:22.740 In other

00:56:23.100 words, could

00:56:24.380 something have

00:56:25.200 a good

00:56:25.680 reason, but

00:56:27.420 you don't

00:56:27.800 have facts?

00:56:29.260 Let me give

00:56:29.680 you an 0.64

00:56:29.860 example.

00:56:31.140 Can you

00:56:31.640 prove that

00:56:33.400 there is no

00:56:34.080 air in

00:56:34.980 France today,

00:56:36.640 right now,

00:56:37.260 that there's

00:56:37.780 no air?

00:56:38.900 Air doesn't

00:56:39.480 exist in

00:56:40.040 France.

00:56:40.780 Nope.

00:56:41.660 You can't

00:56:42.280 prove that,

00:56:43.120 because you

00:56:43.540 don't have

00:56:43.820 any facts.

00:56:44.380 I mean, you

00:56:45.620 could probably

00:56:46.020 get them, but

00:56:48.040 would you do

00:56:48.920 that?

00:56:49.300 Would you go to

00:56:49.960 France with a 0.91

00:56:50.880 little bottle and

00:56:52.040 try to capture

00:56:52.980 some air and

00:56:53.840 prove to me that

00:56:54.980 air does exist in

00:56:56.060 France?

00:56:56.420 Would you do

00:56:56.800 that?

00:56:57.260 Or would you

00:56:57.800 just say, I'm

00:56:59.880 going to use my

00:57:00.480 reason.

00:57:02.740 France is not 0.92

00:57:03.820 contained in a

00:57:05.400 sealed bubble,

00:57:07.180 and air has this

00:57:08.460 tendency to move

00:57:09.480 wherever there's

00:57:10.820 not enough air to

00:57:12.060 fill a vacuum, so

00:57:13.980 my sense of

00:57:15.060 reason tells me I

00:57:17.240 don't really need

00:57:17.940 to look at the

00:57:18.540 facts.

00:57:19.640 My sense of

00:57:20.260 reason tells me,

00:57:21.060 yeah, there's

00:57:21.940 air in France.

00:57:24.040 Okay?

00:57:24.580 Don't need to

00:57:25.660 check, because

00:57:26.940 the reason is so

00:57:27.760 clear.

00:57:29.300 Let's take the

00:57:30.060 election.

00:57:30.960 Does my analogy

00:57:31.940 hold?

00:57:33.160 Well, I would

00:57:34.020 say this, that

00:57:34.920 100% of the

00:57:36.040 time, you have

00:57:37.140 a gigantic

00:57:38.000 incentive to do

00:57:39.260 a thing, let's

00:57:40.520 say cheat on

00:57:41.480 an election,

00:57:42.060 so you have a

00:57:43.040 gigantic incentive.

00:57:44.860 The motivation is

00:57:45.760 off the chart.

00:57:47.420 You've got lots of

00:57:48.320 people involved, and

00:57:50.540 so long as you can

00:57:51.700 control who

00:57:52.440 witnesses what,

00:57:54.140 you're not really

00:57:54.820 going to get

00:57:55.200 caught.

00:57:56.720 So how often do

00:57:58.040 you get crime in

00:57:59.880 a situation where

00:58:00.820 the motivation to

00:58:01.860 do the crime is

00:58:03.060 off the chart?

00:58:04.380 The opportunity

00:58:05.580 is observably

00:58:07.700 easy, because I

00:58:09.460 think we could all

00:58:10.260 agree that no

00:58:11.240 matter what

00:58:11.740 else is true, it

00:58:13.360 is true that the

00:58:14.160 witnesses didn't

00:58:15.540 witness very much.

00:58:17.860 Even the people

00:58:18.740 who say the

00:58:19.200 election was fair, I

00:58:20.720 think they would

00:58:21.220 agree with that

00:58:21.800 statement.

00:58:22.660 For example, has

00:58:23.440 anybody witnessed

00:58:24.340 the software

00:58:25.060 working?

00:58:26.020 Has anybody

00:58:26.700 audited the

00:58:27.540 lines of code?

00:58:28.920 Is there anybody

00:58:29.580 who has a chain of

00:58:30.680 custody all the

00:58:31.600 way from the vote

00:58:32.540 to the vote

00:58:33.100 counting and

00:58:33.720 beyond?

00:58:34.600 No.

00:58:35.560 No, we don't

00:58:36.040 have that.

00:58:36.360 So if you were

00:58:37.660 to look at what

00:58:38.220 could be

00:58:38.780 witnessed, a

00:58:39.980 little bit was,

00:58:41.260 would you say

00:58:41.980 10%?

00:58:43.660 I feel as though

00:58:44.560 based on the

00:58:45.120 reporting, it

00:58:45.760 would be fair to

00:58:46.360 say that maybe

00:58:47.740 10% of the

00:58:49.140 election process

00:58:50.380 was witnessed.

00:58:52.660 Now the

00:58:53.000 intention, of

00:58:53.680 course, is to

00:58:54.320 witness 100% of

00:58:55.400 it.

00:58:56.100 But we saw that

00:58:57.400 the witnesses were

00:58:58.300 bullied and had to

00:58:59.400 stand too far back

00:59:00.380 and all that.

00:59:01.420 So no, maybe 10%

00:59:02.740 was witnessed.

00:59:03.340 So if you've

00:59:05.020 got 90%

00:59:05.860 opportunity, just

00:59:07.260 for conceptual

00:59:08.540 purposes, I'm not

00:59:09.520 measuring it, but

00:59:10.860 90% opportunity,

00:59:12.700 motivation through

00:59:14.380 the roof, because

00:59:15.500 you want to stop

00:59:16.240 orange Hitler at 0.86

00:59:17.200 all costs, right?

00:59:18.600 How often will

00:59:20.560 there be massive

00:59:22.000 cheating?

00:59:22.780 Not a little bit,

00:59:24.240 but massive

00:59:25.100 cheating under

00:59:26.220 those conditions.

00:59:27.940 100% of the

00:59:29.240 time.

00:59:30.000 You will

00:59:30.620 never not

00:59:32.000 have massive

00:59:33.320 cheating when

00:59:34.660 these conditions

00:59:35.540 exist, and

00:59:37.040 these are the

00:59:37.560 conditions we

00:59:38.240 all observe

00:59:38.780 exist.

00:59:39.700 There's nobody

00:59:40.320 who would say,

00:59:41.220 well, there

00:59:41.460 aren't many

00:59:41.800 people involved.

00:59:43.740 There's nobody

00:59:44.320 who would say,

00:59:45.380 well, they

00:59:45.620 don't have the

00:59:46.120 motivation.

00:59:47.540 Nobody would

00:59:47.940 say that.

00:59:48.980 Nobody would

00:59:49.520 say they don't

00:59:49.980 have the

00:59:50.300 opportunity as

00:59:51.580 of this week.

00:59:52.960 Last week, I

00:59:53.980 was hearing,

00:59:54.500 there was no

00:59:54.860 opportunity.

00:59:55.920 You couldn't

00:59:56.460 do it and get

00:59:57.060 away with it.

00:59:58.020 Well, we've got

00:59:58.620 hundreds of

00:59:59.360 witnesses that

01:00:00.120 says they did

01:00:01.460 it and they

01:00:01.880 didn't get away

01:00:02.360 with it, at

01:00:03.240 least in terms

01:00:03.800 of being

01:00:04.100 observed, or

01:00:06.440 claims that

01:00:07.320 they couldn't

01:00:08.440 observe, which

01:00:09.200 I think should

01:00:09.660 be treated the

01:00:10.280 same.

01:00:11.420 So I think

01:00:12.140 any decent

01:00:13.660 respect to

01:00:15.260 what reason

01:00:16.080 is would

01:00:18.020 say that the

01:00:18.900 claims of the

01:00:19.680 election being

01:00:20.260 fraudulent have

01:00:21.880 a base.

01:00:23.060 That base, I

01:00:24.580 agree, is

01:00:25.820 not yet based

01:00:26.800 on court

01:00:28.000 certified, if

01:00:29.600 you will,

01:00:30.200 validated or

01:00:31.000 verified facts.

01:00:32.880 But that's

01:00:33.700 not the

01:00:34.540 only definition

01:00:35.420 of the word

01:00:35.940 baseless.

01:00:37.260 If you have

01:00:38.140 reasons, such

01:00:39.600 as reasoning

01:00:40.680 that air

01:00:41.360 exists in

01:00:42.000 France, you

01:00:42.980 don't need the

01:00:43.560 facts, because

01:00:44.840 the reason is

01:00:45.480 all you need.

01:00:46.720 And this is

01:00:47.180 one of those

01:00:47.640 cases.

01:00:48.660 So when they

01:00:49.520 say baseless,

01:00:50.200 that is

01:00:50.840 propaganda.

01:00:52.400 If they had

01:00:53.320 said that there

01:00:54.840 are allegations

01:00:55.580 that have not

01:00:56.960 been proven in

01:00:57.820 court, what

01:00:58.860 would you say

01:00:59.300 to that?

01:01:00.500 Would you

01:01:00.880 say that that

01:01:01.400 was propaganda?

01:01:03.060 Nope.

01:01:04.160 You'd say, oh,

01:01:04.780 that's an

01:01:05.120 accurate statement.

01:01:06.440 There are

01:01:06.740 allegations which

01:01:07.660 have not been

01:01:08.260 proven in

01:01:08.840 court to the

01:01:10.120 extent that it

01:01:11.240 would overturn

01:01:11.920 the election,

01:01:12.760 at the same

01:01:13.480 time that you

01:01:14.120 would also have

01:01:14.700 to say there

01:01:15.140 are hundreds

01:01:15.520 of witnesses

01:01:16.100 that if you

01:01:17.520 look at their

01:01:18.040 claims, they

01:01:18.700 are big enough

01:01:19.320 to overturn

01:01:19.820 the election,

01:01:20.400 if true.

01:01:21.900 They can all

01:01:22.560 be true.

01:01:25.480 So that is

01:01:27.320 what I got

01:01:27.760 for you

01:01:28.260 today.

01:01:31.480 Somebody says

01:01:32.260 the natural

01:01:32.820 man, Scott,

01:01:33.840 does not

01:01:34.660 receive the

01:01:35.380 things of

01:01:35.960 the spirit,

01:01:36.880 which is

01:01:37.280 very limiting.

01:01:38.680 I am a

01:01:39.260 spirit-free

01:01:40.240 individual,

01:01:42.220 says the

01:01:43.800 commenter.

01:01:46.100 Okay.

01:01:48.580 But Scott,

01:01:49.380 was Rudy's

01:01:50.120 fake hearing

01:01:51.100 propaganda?

01:01:52.360 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:53.540 So one of

01:01:54.000 the things

01:01:54.360 that my

01:01:55.580 bad critics

01:01:56.540 often say

01:01:57.360 is, oh,

01:01:58.360 I got you,

01:01:59.240 Scott.

01:01:59.800 If you

01:02:00.480 think that's

01:02:01.140 true, what

01:02:02.140 about this?

01:02:03.380 Can you be

01:02:03.980 consistent?

01:02:05.840 Yeah, I

01:02:06.820 can.

01:02:07.780 The fact

01:02:09.020 that you

01:02:09.320 would even

01:02:09.680 think that

01:02:11.280 I wouldn't

01:02:12.440 be consistent

01:02:13.160 on that,

01:02:14.120 yes, Rudy

01:02:14.880 was specifically

01:02:17.140 and intentionally

01:02:18.680 using

01:02:20.180 persuasion

01:02:21.520 that you

01:02:21.980 could, of

01:02:22.620 course, call

01:02:23.060 propaganda.

01:02:24.120 Of course.

01:02:25.420 And it

01:02:26.040 was clear,

01:02:28.300 obvious, he

01:02:28.960 wasn't hiding

01:02:29.560 it.

01:02:30.200 And do you

01:02:30.560 know what

01:02:30.820 Rudy is?

01:02:32.180 He's something

01:02:33.040 called an

01:02:33.780 advocate.

01:02:35.400 Do you

01:02:35.980 know what

01:02:36.180 the job

01:02:36.860 of an

01:02:37.420 advocate

01:02:38.140 is?

01:02:39.660 Advocating.

01:02:40.900 It's advocating.

01:02:41.860 Yeah.

01:02:42.560 His job

01:02:43.680 is to

01:02:45.180 persuade you.

01:02:46.240 If you

01:02:46.720 want to

01:02:47.020 call that

01:02:47.360 propaganda,

01:02:48.120 I'm okay

01:02:48.460 with that.

01:02:49.140 So I

01:02:49.560 accept that

01:02:50.200 word.

01:02:51.000 Fine.

01:02:51.820 That's his

01:02:52.260 job.

01:02:52.560 Now, he

01:02:53.100 also, on

01:02:53.760 top of

01:02:54.180 that, he

01:02:55.020 is managing

01:02:55.800 public opinion.

01:02:57.200 He is

01:02:57.500 managing the

01:02:58.100 opinions of

01:02:58.700 maybe future

01:02:59.380 judges and

01:03:00.040 juries.

01:03:01.100 This is his

01:03:01.840 job.

01:03:02.940 So when

01:03:03.300 somebody whose

01:03:03.820 job it is

01:03:04.700 to do

01:03:05.100 propaganda

01:03:05.780 does

01:03:07.180 propaganda,

01:03:08.000 isn't hiding

01:03:08.700 it even a

01:03:09.480 little bit.

01:03:10.320 It's right

01:03:11.020 out there.

01:03:11.740 I'm an

01:03:12.180 advocate.

01:03:13.120 I have a

01:03:13.620 client.

01:03:14.460 Client's

01:03:15.020 paying me.

01:03:16.980 That's pretty

01:03:17.840 transparent.

01:03:18.480 So I

01:03:19.900 don't mind

01:03:20.460 propaganda

01:03:21.200 that's

01:03:22.260 packaged as

01:03:23.540 propaganda,

01:03:24.320 and that's

01:03:24.600 what that

01:03:24.920 was.

01:03:25.860 But if

01:03:26.300 you're the

01:03:26.680 news, and

01:03:27.960 you're selling

01:03:28.480 me propaganda

01:03:29.320 packaged as

01:03:30.720 news, I've

01:03:31.440 got a

01:03:31.940 labeling problem

01:03:33.740 there.

01:03:36.700 You tried to

01:03:37.640 convince the

01:03:38.160 world that

01:03:38.660 that was

01:03:39.060 good propaganda.

01:03:40.180 That's right.

01:03:40.840 There is good

01:03:41.340 propaganda and

01:03:42.160 bad propaganda.

01:03:43.980 Again,

01:03:44.800 somebody is

01:03:45.540 trying to

01:03:45.880 catch me in

01:03:46.580 some kind

01:03:47.100 of inconsistency,

01:03:48.480 there's good

01:03:51.000 propaganda.

01:03:52.900 Trump does

01:03:53.780 it all the

01:03:54.320 time.

01:03:55.260 When Trump

01:03:55.880 says the

01:03:56.400 economy is

01:03:56.920 great, it's

01:03:57.460 getting better,

01:03:58.720 that's good

01:03:59.220 propaganda, because

01:04:00.580 when he says

01:04:01.160 that stuff, it

01:04:02.440 causes people to

01:04:03.500 invest and feel

01:04:04.340 confident, and

01:04:05.020 then the economy

01:04:05.600 is good.

01:04:06.680 When Trump

01:04:07.280 says our

01:04:07.880 military is

01:04:08.740 way, way

01:04:10.140 better than

01:04:10.640 it was before

01:04:11.380 he took

01:04:11.780 office, is

01:04:12.940 it necessarily

01:04:14.160 true?

01:04:15.240 I don't

01:04:15.580 know.

01:04:16.180 You don't

01:04:16.580 know.

01:04:17.100 None of us

01:04:17.580 know what's

01:04:17.960 happening in

01:04:18.460 the military,

01:04:19.280 because they

01:04:20.160 keep that

01:04:20.600 secret, right?

01:04:21.860 But, is it

01:04:23.200 good propaganda

01:04:24.200 to tell the

01:04:25.860 world even

01:04:26.640 more than he's

01:04:27.340 telling the

01:04:27.720 country?

01:04:28.240 He's telling

01:04:28.760 the world,

01:04:29.540 we've got the

01:04:30.360 best military

01:04:31.180 you've ever

01:04:31.700 seen, and it

01:04:32.440 was pretty

01:04:32.880 good before,

01:04:34.060 but now it's

01:04:34.920 even way

01:04:35.400 better.

01:04:36.580 Is that good

01:04:37.340 propaganda or

01:04:38.460 bad propaganda?

01:04:39.540 Because it

01:04:39.980 keeps you safe,

01:04:41.160 right?

01:04:41.680 That's good

01:04:42.320 propaganda.

01:04:42.820 propaganda.

01:04:43.760 So, just

01:04:46.380 know that

01:04:47.280 when an

01:04:47.980 advocate, a

01:04:48.920 politician, is

01:04:50.420 saying something,

01:04:51.220 that's always

01:04:51.940 propaganda, but

01:04:53.560 it could be the

01:04:54.220 good kind.

01:04:55.260 If your news is

01:04:56.840 giving you

01:04:57.320 propaganda instead

01:04:59.020 of news, and

01:05:00.260 they're selling it

01:05:01.060 as news, that's

01:05:02.920 fraud.

01:05:04.800 It's different.

01:05:05.820 All right.

01:05:10.460 A poor economy

01:05:11.720 would increase

01:05:12.540 the number of

01:05:13.140 military volunteers.

01:05:15.060 That's true, but

01:05:15.980 I don't think that

01:05:16.540 matters in our

01:05:17.460 technical wars.

01:05:19.940 I just don't see

01:05:21.000 us having a war

01:05:22.200 in which standing

01:05:23.740 armies of China

01:05:24.920 or Russia or the

01:05:25.840 United States go

01:05:27.320 at it with a

01:05:28.860 tank war.

01:05:29.960 We're not going

01:05:30.600 to have a tank

01:05:31.260 war with China

01:05:32.160 or a tank war

01:05:33.880 with Russia.

01:05:34.540 That's not going

01:05:34.980 to happen.

01:05:36.520 Anybody who, I

01:05:37.740 mean, the reason

01:05:38.820 it's not going

01:05:39.260 to happen is

01:05:40.000 that whoever

01:05:41.240 moved a force

01:05:42.980 of tanks against 0.61

01:05:44.520 a superpower would

01:05:46.420 lose all of

01:05:47.500 their tanks in

01:05:49.020 60 minutes.

01:05:50.660 I'm not wrong

01:05:51.260 about that, right?

01:05:53.640 Somebody says,

01:05:54.700 go talk to

01:05:55.400 Ali and

01:05:56.020 apologize.

01:05:57.680 I'm not going

01:05:58.520 to apologize for

01:05:59.340 calling him smart

01:06:00.380 because that's

01:06:01.880 what I call

01:06:02.400 them.

01:06:03.220 So I don't

01:06:03.680 know what you're

01:06:04.320 talking about.

01:06:05.060 when people

01:06:06.120 call me

01:06:06.680 smart, I

01:06:08.060 usually say

01:06:08.820 thank you.

01:06:10.560 I do not

01:06:11.200 require an

01:06:12.060 apology.

01:06:14.340 All right.

01:06:17.980 Check Trump's

01:06:19.060 most recent

01:06:19.940 tweet.

01:06:20.580 Is it that

01:06:21.020 good?

01:06:22.160 All right.

01:06:22.560 I usually don't

01:06:23.100 like to do that

01:06:23.780 because it slows

01:06:24.980 down the pace

01:06:27.480 here.

01:06:27.780 but let me

01:06:28.260 do that

01:06:29.000 anyway.

01:06:29.840 Trump.

01:06:30.900 Trump, Trump.

01:06:31.780 Have you noticed

01:06:32.340 that Trump

01:06:32.800 doesn't come up

01:06:33.560 first in your

01:06:34.560 fill-in?

01:06:38.180 Sometimes he

01:06:39.040 does.

01:06:41.280 So he comes

01:06:41.840 out.

01:06:42.840 So Donald J.

01:06:44.640 Trump, the

01:06:45.240 real Donald

01:06:46.280 Trump thing,

01:06:48.140 it comes up

01:06:48.920 fourth when I

01:06:51.320 search in

01:06:52.300 Twitter for

01:06:53.460 Trump.

01:06:53.860 Donald Trump

01:06:56.660 has 80

01:06:57.760 whatever

01:06:58.500 million

01:06:59.460 followers

01:07:00.200 and he

01:07:01.680 comes up

01:07:02.220 fourth when

01:07:04.520 you start

01:07:05.040 typing in

01:07:05.640 Trump.

01:07:06.440 Ahead of

01:07:07.020 him is the

01:07:07.660 POTUS

01:07:07.980 account,

01:07:08.900 perfectly fair.

01:07:10.780 Then there's

01:07:11.680 Trump Googling.

01:07:14.320 It's not even a

01:07:15.360 blue check.

01:07:16.320 And then there is a

01:07:16.880 blue check, but

01:07:17.520 it's Tiffany

01:07:18.020 Trump.

01:07:19.000 That's right.

01:07:20.240 Tiffany Trump

01:07:21.480 comes up in

01:07:23.040 the search

01:07:23.560 before Donald

01:07:25.080 Trump.

01:07:26.920 And you're

01:07:29.900 wondering if

01:07:30.780 Section 230

01:07:32.020 should be

01:07:32.760 important?

01:07:36.480 Yeah.

01:07:37.440 All right.

01:07:37.800 So now that I'm

01:07:38.560 done ranting on

01:07:39.300 that.

01:07:42.540 Okay.

01:07:43.260 It's getting

01:07:43.620 good now.

01:07:45.000 So Trump

01:07:45.680 just tweeted

01:07:46.420 11 minutes

01:07:47.180 ago.

01:07:48.080 Biden can

01:07:48.720 only enter the

01:07:49.500 White House

01:07:50.000 as president

01:07:50.760 if he can

01:07:51.800 prove that

01:07:52.420 his ridiculous

01:07:53.280 80 million

01:07:55.500 votes were

01:07:56.680 not fraudulently

01:07:57.860 or illegally

01:07:58.860 obtained.

01:08:00.060 When you see

01:08:00.860 what happened

01:08:01.380 in Detroit,

01:08:02.160 Atlanta,

01:08:02.620 and Philadelphia,

01:08:03.320 and Milwaukee,

01:08:04.300 massive voter

01:08:05.220 fraud, he's

01:08:06.340 got a big

01:08:07.020 unsolvable

01:08:08.020 problem.

01:08:12.200 Oh, I

01:08:13.620 tell you,

01:08:14.980 Trump doesn't

01:08:16.040 know how to

01:08:16.920 not be

01:08:17.420 provocative.

01:08:18.000 He doesn't

01:08:20.400 know how

01:08:20.700 to be

01:08:20.920 boring.

01:08:22.080 He just

01:08:22.460 can't be

01:08:23.920 boring.

01:08:25.040 He just

01:08:25.300 doesn't

01:08:25.540 know how.

01:08:27.000 So he's

01:08:27.660 now,

01:08:28.480 now obviously

01:08:31.500 you can't

01:08:32.080 prove a

01:08:32.460 negative.

01:08:33.420 So basically

01:08:34.420 what he said

01:08:35.060 is he's not

01:08:35.560 leaving the

01:08:36.000 White House,

01:08:36.900 which was

01:08:37.400 how it will

01:08:38.040 be interpreted,

01:08:39.040 because you

01:08:39.400 can't really

01:08:39.800 prove a

01:08:40.340 negative.

01:08:41.740 So he's

01:08:43.080 created a

01:08:43.660 situation

01:08:44.200 where the

01:08:46.480 news will

01:08:47.080 have to

01:08:47.700 talk about

01:08:49.380 his allegation

01:08:50.360 that there's

01:08:51.040 all this

01:08:51.400 fraud, and

01:08:52.060 they hate

01:08:52.400 talking about

01:08:52.980 that.

01:08:54.020 They hate

01:08:54.640 talking about

01:08:55.160 it, because

01:08:55.760 if you just

01:08:56.280 talk about

01:08:56.900 the election

01:08:57.620 fraud enough,

01:08:58.860 it becomes

01:08:59.620 true.

01:09:01.240 So here's the,

01:09:02.420 I don't know if

01:09:02.840 he's thinking of

01:09:03.800 it this way, so

01:09:04.400 I won't.

01:09:05.280 I won't assume

01:09:06.340 there's intention

01:09:07.140 in this, but

01:09:07.960 this is the way

01:09:08.500 it's going to

01:09:08.840 work out.

01:09:09.200 If you simply

01:09:10.500 make the

01:09:11.260 mainstream media

01:09:12.560 talk about

01:09:14.140 election fraud,

01:09:15.220 even if they're

01:09:16.040 denying it, it

01:09:17.360 didn't happen, it

01:09:18.020 didn't happen,

01:09:18.540 election fraud,

01:09:19.420 didn't happen,

01:09:20.100 didn't happen,

01:09:20.620 election fraud,

01:09:21.520 what happens to

01:09:22.260 your brain?

01:09:23.780 Your brain says,

01:09:24.960 I heard a lot

01:09:25.800 about election

01:09:26.360 fraud.

01:09:28.020 And even if

01:09:29.300 every single

01:09:30.780 thing you heard

01:09:31.560 was also

01:09:32.460 debunked,

01:09:33.520 that's not how

01:09:34.420 your brain is

01:09:35.140 going to process

01:09:35.780 it.

01:09:36.760 If Trump can

01:09:37.800 simply make

01:09:38.560 the news do

01:09:40.000 the thing they

01:09:40.620 don't want to

01:09:41.260 do, which is

01:09:42.480 talk about the

01:09:43.220 election fraud

01:09:43.920 allegations, even

01:09:45.620 if they debunk

01:09:46.380 them, he wins.

01:09:49.040 And this is so

01:09:50.280 provocative, they

01:09:51.720 have to talk

01:09:52.440 about it.

01:09:53.080 Because they're

01:09:53.620 going to have to

01:09:54.160 talk about it in

01:09:54.900 the context of,

01:09:56.020 I think he just

01:09:56.860 said he's not

01:09:57.480 going to leave.

01:09:59.860 But that's, you

01:10:01.140 know, he's a

01:10:01.640 little more clever

01:10:02.220 than that.

01:10:02.680 He's forcing

01:10:03.740 them to be

01:10:04.340 anchored to that

01:10:05.180 tweet, so they

01:10:06.820 will sell his

01:10:07.660 message.

01:10:08.560 Simply by

01:10:09.340 repeating election

01:10:10.460 fraud, election

01:10:11.160 fraud, more

01:10:12.160 times than they

01:10:12.800 wanted to.

01:10:14.740 So, I don't

01:10:16.900 know, that's, that

01:10:18.200 may be, that

01:10:21.100 may be one of his

01:10:22.740 finest tweets in

01:10:23.820 terms of strategy.

01:10:25.040 All right, that's

01:10:25.560 all for now.

01:10:26.440 I'll talk to you

01:10:27.320 tomorrow.

01:10:30.440 All right,

01:10:31.400 Periscope is off.

01:10:33.300 Anything you

01:10:34.040 YouTubers want to 1.00

01:10:35.080 ask me while you

01:10:36.240 got another minute

01:10:37.080 here?

01:10:39.300 I see there,

01:10:40.320 somebody says

01:10:40.860 that there's a

01:10:41.420 new study showing

01:10:42.700 that hydroxychloroquine

01:10:44.080 with zinc and

01:10:45.060 azithromycin works

01:10:47.540 really, really well

01:10:48.600 in reducing hospital

01:10:49.980 visits.

01:10:50.800 Do you know

01:10:51.080 what's missing in

01:10:51.660 that story?

01:10:53.040 What is missing in

01:10:54.720 that story about

01:10:56.000 the study that

01:10:57.740 says hydroxychloroquine

01:10:59.040 works really well?

01:11:00.980 Well, here's what's

01:11:01.940 missing.

01:11:02.220 One of the

01:11:04.880 authors is

01:11:05.960 Zelenko, the

01:11:07.680 original hydroxychloroquine

01:11:09.700 doctor.

01:11:11.280 And the study

01:11:12.180 itself is a

01:11:13.020 retrospective.

01:11:14.620 Now, can you

01:11:15.760 trust a

01:11:16.380 retrospective

01:11:17.240 study?

01:11:18.860 No, you

01:11:20.440 can't.

01:11:21.300 So, it's a

01:11:22.020 retrospective

01:11:22.720 study.

01:11:23.680 Basically, they're

01:11:24.580 saying, all

01:11:25.060 right, we're not

01:11:25.520 going to study

01:11:26.260 it, we're going

01:11:27.280 to look at what

01:11:27.940 happened in the

01:11:29.080 past and see if

01:11:30.420 we can figure

01:11:31.000 out just by

01:11:31.720 looking at some

01:11:32.520 data from history

01:11:33.920 whether we can

01:11:35.540 judge that it

01:11:36.140 works or not.

01:11:37.220 That is not the

01:11:38.680 same level of

01:11:39.720 credibility as a

01:11:41.820 randomized controlled

01:11:43.200 study.

01:11:44.920 So, if you've got a

01:11:46.100 randomized controlled

01:11:47.060 study that would

01:11:47.920 have to use those

01:11:48.600 same chemicals and

01:11:49.840 have to administer

01:11:50.700 them in a similar

01:11:51.500 way, not waiting

01:11:52.800 until too late, if

01:11:53.980 you had that and

01:11:55.780 it said it worked,

01:11:56.960 I'd take that

01:11:57.540 pretty seriously.

01:11:58.780 If you have yet

01:11:59.940 another retrospective

01:12:01.300 study, it just

01:12:02.740 gets thrown on

01:12:03.640 the pile with

01:12:04.980 the other

01:12:05.460 retrospective

01:12:06.400 studies that

01:12:07.760 seem to disagree

01:12:08.720 with the

01:12:10.120 randomized controlled

01:12:11.000 studies.

01:12:12.120 So, if you don't

01:12:12.740 see a randomized

01:12:13.260 controlled study on

01:12:14.320 hydroxychloroquine,

01:12:15.840 I would ignore

01:12:18.200 it.

01:12:18.840 Same with

01:12:19.560 vitamin D.

01:12:21.200 Vitamin D, I

01:12:22.320 think there's a

01:12:22.940 strong argument

01:12:24.480 that boosting

01:12:25.660 your vitamin D

01:12:26.420 could protect

01:12:27.060 you, just

01:12:28.200 because it

01:12:28.540 protects you from

01:12:29.180 things in

01:12:29.720 general.

01:12:30.880 But, if you

01:12:31.900 see a

01:12:32.280 retrospective

01:12:33.140 study that

01:12:34.020 says people

01:12:34.980 with vitamin

01:12:35.560 D did much

01:12:36.480 better, you

01:12:37.640 must be careful

01:12:38.340 because those

01:12:40.180 people might have

01:12:40.780 been unhealthy

01:12:41.420 in general, and

01:12:42.800 a low vitamin

01:12:43.500 D level is a

01:12:44.460 marker for low

01:12:45.560 health in

01:12:46.220 general.

01:12:47.120 So, it could

01:12:47.620 be that the

01:12:48.400 vitamin D is

01:12:49.180 telling you

01:12:49.640 nothing but

01:12:50.440 these are

01:12:51.440 generally unhealthy

01:12:52.220 people, and

01:12:53.300 if you were to

01:12:53.980 boost their

01:12:54.580 vitamin D, they

01:12:56.420 would still be

01:12:56.980 just generally

01:12:57.560 unhealthy people

01:12:58.300 with vitamin

01:12:58.920 D.

01:12:59.760 It might

01:13:00.040 not make

01:13:00.400 that much

01:13:00.740 difference at

01:13:01.180 all.

01:13:02.060 So, be

01:13:02.400 careful of

01:13:03.140 correlation

01:13:03.680 versus

01:13:04.320 causation.

01:13:06.580 Is the

01:13:07.240 slaughter meter

01:13:07.820 still relevant?

01:13:09.120 Not really,

01:13:10.420 because the

01:13:11.020 situation became

01:13:11.960 this weird

01:13:12.480 two worlds

01:13:13.320 where Trump

01:13:14.340 could actually

01:13:14.860 win and not

01:13:15.740 be president.

01:13:17.440 So, you

01:13:18.240 know, prior

01:13:19.160 to the actual

01:13:20.040 election day,

01:13:21.340 I modified

01:13:22.280 my prediction

01:13:23.080 to the coin

01:13:24.560 flip would 0.81

01:13:25.140 come up

01:13:25.620 edge, meaning

01:13:26.780 that you'd

01:13:27.220 have two

01:13:27.560 winners, and

01:13:28.700 it would

01:13:28.900 just stay

01:13:29.260 that way.

01:13:30.200 And I

01:13:30.420 think that's

01:13:30.820 the situation.

01:13:31.980 I think

01:13:32.260 Trump will

01:13:32.840 make his

01:13:33.400 case, at

01:13:34.320 least to

01:13:34.740 the public.

01:13:36.220 And so, the

01:13:36.640 public will

01:13:37.220 say, yes, it

01:13:39.100 is true that

01:13:40.020 he won the

01:13:40.520 election.

01:13:41.400 It's also

01:13:42.300 true that

01:13:43.120 Biden took

01:13:43.700 the job.

01:13:45.280 So, I

01:13:46.260 don't know

01:13:46.540 what the

01:13:46.860 slaughter

01:13:47.160 meter means

01:13:48.380 in that

01:13:49.520 context, but

01:13:51.060 I still think

01:13:52.300 that there's a

01:13:53.220 98% chance

01:13:54.540 that he

01:13:55.660 really won

01:13:56.380 based on the

01:13:57.300 electoral college

01:13:57.920 votes, if

01:13:58.640 they had been

01:13:59.220 voted, if

01:14:00.460 they had been

01:14:00.800 counted accurately.

01:14:01.820 That's what I

01:14:02.220 think.

01:14:02.720 All right, that's

01:14:03.100 it for now.

01:14:03.780 I'll talk to you

01:14:04.540 tomorrow.

01:14:05.100 Go shopping.

01:14:05.480 Go shopping.
