Summary

Joe Biden has the worst day of his presidency so far, and it's not even close to being good enough to beat Donald Trump. Is it possible that Biden will be worse than Trump for a long time? And if so, what will that mean for the economy?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 I just saw the weirdest comment I've ever seen in my life.
00:00:15.140 But I'm sure you can top it.
00:00:17.100 Yeah, I know you can.
00:00:18.900 Hey, Dale.
00:00:19.960 Dale joined us today.
00:00:22.440 If it's your first day, you've got some surprises, Dale.
00:00:25.540 Well, but to enjoy yourself to the maximum extent.
00:00:33.120 And why would you settle for less, really, if you could have it all?
00:00:38.560 And you can.
00:00:39.940 This morning, you can have it all.
00:00:43.060 You can have the simultaneous sip if you have a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel.
00:00:50.540 What kind?
00:00:51.400 Any kind.
00:00:52.000 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:55.140 I like coffee.
00:00:57.200 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:01:03.380 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:05.520 And today, we're being nice to Dale.
00:01:07.820 Dale, if you don't know why people are greeting you, it's because I use your first name in a humorous fashion sometimes.
00:01:15.400 And now, join me.
00:01:16.840 Well, let's look at the news.
00:01:26.360 Joe Biden has said that if we don't be more cautious with the coronavirus, that we could lose 250,000 more people before January.
00:01:39.700 That would be less than a month.
00:01:44.480 And he said in public that a quarter of a million people might die from coronavirus on top of the quarter million or whatever it is now that have already died.
00:01:52.900 Now, I would like to tie this to a larger point.
00:01:57.600 The larger point is this, that I believe Biden will start to look worse every day for a long time.
00:02:10.400 And the reason is because he's moving from a campaign scenario in which everything's hypothetical.
00:02:16.880 You know, hypothetically, Joe Biden would be great on these topics.
00:02:21.120 Hypothetically, he'll make all these changes that will make you all happy.
00:02:27.080 So when you're running for office, you're running against hypotheticals and imaginary scenarios.
00:02:32.180 And you can do great in people's imaginations.
00:02:36.500 You can kill it in imagination.
00:02:38.400 And he did.
00:02:40.260 Some people say he even got the most votes.
00:02:43.340 So what's going to happen if we were to game this forward a little bit?
00:02:48.720 What are the obvious things that will happen if we just sit here and wait?
00:02:55.260 Well, number one obvious thing is that he's going to start to be compared to Trump because you can't avoid it.
00:03:04.260 Everything is contrast, right?
00:03:06.760 So the news is really reports of contrast.
00:03:11.780 It used to be peaceful, but now there's a war.
00:03:14.640 It used to be good weather, but now there's a hurricane.
00:03:16.880 So in a way, everything has to be contrasted to make sense to you.
00:03:21.940 And of course, Biden will be compared to Trump and all of his policies because why wouldn't you?
00:03:28.460 It's obvious.
00:03:29.580 But let's go down the list of things you're going to compare Biden to Trump in and see how you think you would predict it's going to go.
00:03:39.640 Take this first example.
00:03:42.440 Biden misspeaking.
00:03:43.560 I think he misspoke, but maybe he thinks it's true.
00:03:46.200 That 250,000 people would die before January.
00:03:49.740 What's that do to the economy?
00:03:52.500 The economy is a psychology engine.
00:03:57.420 The economy works well if you tell everybody it's going to work well.
00:04:01.760 The economy is completely destroyed if you tell people things are going to go bad.
00:04:11.560 Trump, for all of his flaws, which his critics would be happy to point out, understood that the economy was not separate from health care.
00:04:21.480 They're all part of this big thing, and if you don't take care of all of it, you might lose all of it.
00:04:29.480 Biden is a little more, you know, pocketized.
00:04:32.240 It's like, well, there's health care, and then I'll just deal with this, but I don't have to think about the economy because that's a separate question.
00:04:40.820 But it's not.
00:04:41.700 But if Biden scares the pants off you on the virus, even if he's right, right, I'm not talking about whether he's right or wrong, but if he scares you, what's it do to the economy?
00:04:56.280 Doesn't really help.
00:04:58.320 Doesn't help at all.
00:04:59.600 If Trump tells you the economy is great and getting better, even if it wasn't true when he said it, what's the outcome of that?
00:05:07.960 Well, apparently he's pretty convincing on the questions of the economy, and people invest, and they buy stock, and they spend money.
00:05:17.760 So if you're just taking the economy, I don't think Biden has even the slightest chance of, in the end, looking good compared to Trump on the economy.
00:05:29.760 Now, the reason is he doesn't get the psychology right, but he's also looking at raising taxes.
00:05:35.340 Now, even if you think taxes should be raised because you want to fight the deficit or because you think it's more fair, whatever, or you think it will fund valuable programs for the public, so you might like that idea, but there's no way it's going to be good for the overall economy, right?
00:05:58.060 The economy doesn't like high taxes.
00:06:00.440 When Biden starts putting back some of those controls in place, will that be good for the economy?
00:06:09.500 No.
00:06:09.920 If he starts talking about Green New Deal and any kind of pressure on fracking, is that going to be good for the economy?
00:06:18.220 No.
00:06:18.580 So I think on the economy, Trump will have a permanent advantage that will only look bigger over time, because if Trump is not out there doing new things to cause the illegitimate press to say bad things about him, you'll start to forget the bad things.
00:06:41.360 In other words, the most likely outcome of the Trump administration is that all of the bad stuff he did will start to reduce in your memory, because you won't be reminded of it every day after he's out of office.
00:06:55.800 But every time we talk about the economy, pundits are going to say something like, you know, Trump would have played it this way, and that would have worked.
00:07:07.400 And then, you know, I think Trump would have done that a little differently.
00:07:14.500 He might have bullied a little more, and that might have worked, for example.
00:07:20.220 Let's look at a couple more categories.
00:07:22.720 How about immigration?
00:07:25.380 If Joe Biden does anything like opening up immigration, and I don't think he will, by the way.
00:07:31.560 I think he's moderate enough that he'll have some, you know, some controls on immigration, maybe not as much as you wanted.
00:07:39.880 But how is he going to look if big caravans start heading toward the border?
00:07:46.420 Could we predict that it is very likely that gigantic caravans will head toward the border during a Biden presidency?
00:07:55.720 Almost certainly, right?
00:07:57.680 Almost certainly.
00:07:58.880 What will happen if Joe Biden either gets tough with the caravans, like Trump, or does the opposite?
00:08:07.720 What if he lets them in?
00:08:08.680 How does that look?
00:08:12.240 Basically, I don't think he's going to look good in the long run, only because of the nature of the problem.
00:08:18.140 It has nothing to do with whether Biden would do a good or bad job.
00:08:21.820 It's just the nature of the problem.
00:08:23.980 Whoever has that job, when this problem occurs, is going to look not so good.
00:08:29.880 It's just the problem.
00:08:31.480 There's no right way to handle it.
00:08:33.880 There are just two bad ways to handle it.
00:08:35.420 How about North Korea?
00:08:37.820 Probably won't get better.
00:08:40.300 And people are going to say, why wouldn't you go meet a tyrant if it calms down the risk of war?
00:08:49.100 Why wouldn't you go shake hands with a dictator if it reduces your risk?
00:08:54.540 And Trump is going to look like a genius, at least in terms of that specific question,
00:09:01.400 to know that it's a personal relationship that made the difference.
00:09:06.000 He avoided nuclear war, or at least the risk of nuclear war with North Korea, with a personal relationship.
00:09:13.040 The very thing that nobody would have said do.
00:09:15.440 In fact, everybody said don't do it.
00:09:18.120 What's Biden going to do?
00:09:19.540 Is he going to keep doing that?
00:09:21.420 Is Biden going to meet Kim Jong-un and try to keep that going?
00:09:24.720 Again, it's going to be hard to compete with what Trump did on a whole bunch of stuff.
00:09:31.760 So he's going to be fighting that ghost the whole way.
00:09:34.020 How about trade deals?
00:09:35.580 Do you think Biden's going to do a trade deal that's less good than what Trump was pushing for?
00:09:43.160 Well, if he does, he's going to look like he failed.
00:09:45.900 Because it's going to look like Trump was trying to get this.
00:09:49.140 Biden settled for much less.
00:09:51.640 Maybe Trump would have had to settle too.
00:09:53.540 You don't know.
00:09:55.200 But it's going to look like Biden's a bad negotiator.
00:09:59.220 So you can see just the way the things are naturally lining up.
00:10:03.500 Biden is going to start with his honeymoon phase, which is now.
00:10:08.560 But the only way this can go is bad for him, I think.
00:10:13.620 And it has nothing to do with whether he does a good job or not.
00:10:16.840 It just has to do with who he's compared to and the situation.
00:10:20.280 How about, I'll give him one positive, okay?
00:10:26.820 Try to keep it positive a little bit.
00:10:29.560 I know you're going to disagree with this.
00:10:33.240 But just work with me on this.
00:10:35.160 If you wanted to dismantle Antifa and Black Lives Matter and reduce the importance of the squad, was Trump the right person to do that?
00:10:47.300 No.
00:10:48.520 No.
00:10:49.440 Trump was exactly the wrong president to get rid of Antifa because they picked him as their enemy.
00:10:55.960 He was the wrong person to get rid of Black Lives Matter because they had decided he was the symbol of what they're fighting against.
00:11:04.300 And, you know, the squad, of course, just uses Trump as their boogeyman.
00:11:09.720 So, Trump would be the worst choice to minimize those three entities.
00:11:17.600 But Biden isn't.
00:11:19.040 Biden might be the best choice to minimize them.
00:11:22.580 Because Biden can't do his job unless he consolidates power.
00:11:28.980 And he's not going to want to be out there with, you know, Antifa and BLM destroying cities under his watch.
00:11:38.340 And the squad he's already going after.
00:11:40.520 So, it's obvious he's trying to diminish the squad and trying to diminish the whole defund the police thing.
00:11:46.960 So, if you wanted less of any of those entities, I think you'll get less of it under Biden.
00:11:53.300 That would be the one thing I would say, yeah.
00:11:55.100 You know, if you wanted just, if that was your only problem in the world, I would pick Biden for that every time.
00:12:02.420 If it was your only problem.
00:12:04.700 All right.
00:12:06.060 Tucker was reporting yesterday and the news was reporting that apparently we've checked existing blood supplies from late 2019.
00:12:16.560 And there was a whole bunch of coronavirus in there.
00:12:20.000 In late 2019 in the United States.
00:12:23.280 So, here's the thing to make your head explode for today.
00:12:30.440 Everything you've been told about the origin of the coronavirus.
00:12:35.960 And there might have been a bat.
00:12:37.500 It might have been a pangolin.
00:12:39.300 And it might have been the Wuhan lab and all that.
00:12:43.540 And it might have been, you know, a certain timeline.
00:12:47.280 Pretty much everything you've been told is false.
00:12:50.920 Now, I don't know what's true.
00:12:52.240 I don't know if the Wuhan lab had anything to do with it at this point.
00:12:58.060 But everything you thought about that is false.
00:13:02.820 Think about that.
00:13:04.340 It's the biggest thing in the world.
00:13:06.880 And everything you know about it was bullshit.
00:13:11.140 Just bullshit.
00:13:11.820 Now, for most of us, those were just facts.
00:13:17.060 You know, we treated all that stuff as just, well, that's history.
00:13:19.980 We know that this happened.
00:13:21.620 There was this lab.
00:13:22.660 And it was about this time frame.
00:13:24.500 And blah, blah, blah.
00:13:25.740 None of it was true.
00:13:27.480 An entire most important thing in the world.
00:13:30.580 And none of it was true.
00:13:36.040 Think about that when you say to yourself, is the next story true?
00:13:42.000 Think of that when you say to yourself, well, a story this big, with so many people reporting
00:13:48.300 that it is so, well, under those conditions, it's such a big story and so many people looking
00:13:54.020 at it, they must have, you know, gotten close to the truth by now.
00:13:59.520 Nope.
00:13:59.940 We don't live in that world.
00:14:02.360 We live in a world where even the biggest story in the world is just fake news.
00:14:08.460 And if that story can be fake news, what else can be fake news?
00:14:14.340 Everything.
00:14:15.240 Everything.
00:14:15.980 It can all be fake news.
00:14:17.500 And probably is.
00:14:19.260 You know, that's the Gilman amnesia idea, that if you know about a story, you know it's
00:14:27.300 bullshit, but all the ones that you don't have any special expertise in, you say, well,
00:14:32.300 that's probably true.
00:14:33.300 It's in the news.
00:14:34.680 All these news people say it's true.
00:14:36.560 It's probably true.
00:14:37.860 Might be false, but it's probably true.
00:14:40.460 Reverse that.
00:14:41.900 In the real world, all of the news, all of the news is probably not true.
00:14:49.440 Like if you were just going to put a bet down, there's a brand new story.
00:14:52.840 It doesn't matter what it is.
00:14:53.720 It's just a brand new story.
00:14:55.320 It's a big story.
00:14:56.420 It's in the news.
00:14:57.680 It's day one, and you have one bet.
00:15:01.120 The bet is, will this story still be true, let's say in five years, or will you know
00:15:06.320 in five years it was never true?
00:15:08.560 Which one do you bet?
00:15:09.780 And I'm not even telling you what the story is about.
00:15:12.540 You don't even have to know the topic.
00:15:15.920 Anything.
00:15:16.820 Could be domestic.
00:15:18.120 Could be international.
00:15:19.520 Could be about war and death.
00:15:21.320 Could be about science.
00:15:22.360 Could be about economics.
00:15:23.400 It's just a new story.
00:15:25.480 And everybody agrees on the narrative.
00:15:29.320 You don't even have a disagreement.
00:15:31.360 The left believes it's true.
00:15:33.260 The right believes it's true.
00:15:34.860 It's just a new story.
00:15:35.860 Now you have to put your bet down.
00:15:38.620 Bet against it.
00:15:40.080 Bet against it every time.
00:15:42.920 And you will be right, I don't know, 70% of the time.
00:15:46.000 You're not going to be right every time.
00:15:47.260 But a lot of stuff is just not true.
00:15:54.140 All right.
00:15:56.400 General Flynn retweeted somebody else's tweet suggesting that the President Trump should
00:16:02.740 do martial law to force a revote.
00:16:05.680 Now, CNN is having a panic attack because a retired general is suggesting martial law in
00:16:13.580 the United States and what would, you know, you could imagine it would lead to a change
00:16:19.660 in expected government, if I can say it that way.
00:16:23.860 So that's a pretty big deal.
00:16:26.620 But I'm not entirely sure that CNN knows how Twitter works because when you retweet things,
00:16:32.760 does that mean you agree with them?
00:16:36.680 It doesn't.
00:16:38.260 It means it's important.
00:16:40.260 It might mean it's something you should consider.
00:16:42.620 It might mean somebody's just telling you something's out there and it's part of the story.
00:16:46.940 That's how I use Twitter.
00:16:48.460 I don't retweet things that I just agree with.
00:16:51.980 Do you?
00:16:53.400 Don't you sometimes retweet things that are just a story?
00:16:56.680 You know, if a caravan of 10,000 immigrants crashed through our border,
00:17:04.240 I might retweet that story, but I wouldn't be in favor of it.
00:17:10.160 So that's not how Twitter works.
00:17:12.700 But we could imagine, it's reasonable to assume that he wouldn't have retweeted it without having
00:17:17.640 at least some empathy for it.
00:17:21.540 That's really maybe as far as you could go.
00:17:23.980 You don't want to go into a full mind reading.
00:17:26.120 But here's a question I have for you.
00:17:28.740 A question for the lawyers.
00:17:30.640 For some reason, I have a gigantic lawyer following.
00:17:33.640 I don't know if you do that, but there are probably more lawyers who follow me than just
00:17:39.080 about anything, which makes sense because I talk about persuasion.
00:17:43.320 If you're an attorney, you probably want to pay attention to anybody who talks about the
00:17:48.240 topic of persuasion because that's your job.
00:17:52.680 But let me ask this lawyer a question.
00:17:54.500 Can there be a limited martial law?
00:17:57.720 Does it work that way?
00:17:58.640 Can you say, I'm going to declare martial law, but it's not like some general martial law.
00:18:04.100 It's just going to be this little narrow, one topic, just martial law about the election.
00:18:10.560 And the martial law will specifically say we'll redo it on some timeline.
00:18:17.140 Is that even possible?
00:18:18.980 I'm not recommending it.
00:18:20.640 Again, talking about the news is not endorsing the news.
00:18:25.260 I'm talking about the news.
00:18:26.420 But can somebody tell me, a lawyer, if you can limit this martial law idea to a single topic?
00:18:37.780 Is it even a thing?
00:18:39.560 Is that a thing?
00:18:42.400 I say, well, you know, actually, let me answer my own question.
00:18:47.560 If you imagine that martial law was a generic order that just puts the president in firmer
00:18:54.720 control without the subsidiary government processes, I suppose the president could pick and choose
00:19:05.160 where he enforces it.
00:19:08.220 So the government could say it's martial law in general, but you can ignore the in general
00:19:13.100 part, the only part I'm going to care about or do anything about is just the election.
00:19:18.840 I guess he could do that, right?
00:19:20.500 He doesn't have to use all martial law mechanisms.
00:19:24.440 He could declare it and then just use whatever part he wanted.
00:19:28.180 So I don't know how constitutional it is or how practical it is.
00:19:33.380 I'm just going to put it out there as a thing that's being discussed.
00:19:36.940 I am not, I'm not endorsing it at this point.
00:19:43.300 I don't know if any of you do, but I would not endorse martial law at this point.
00:19:53.900 There might be a place where that is more of a something to consider, but I don't think
00:19:59.420 we're there.
00:20:03.300 All right.
00:20:06.300 So Democrats keep trolling me on Twitter.
00:20:11.620 They're dropping into my Twitter feed and they're saying sarcastic things such as,
00:20:18.500 oh, Scott, wasn't it about two weeks ago?
00:20:22.200 You said to us, wait two weeks, you're going to see some strong evidence for the accusation
00:20:29.320 of election fraud.
00:20:31.700 It's been two weeks, Scott.
00:20:33.740 So where's all the evidence, Scott?
00:20:37.180 You said it was coming.
00:20:38.600 Where is it?
00:20:39.720 Where's all that evidence?
00:20:41.800 Come on.
00:20:42.500 Come on, Scott.
00:20:43.340 Where's all that evidence?
00:20:44.760 Where is it?
00:20:45.700 Show it to us.
00:20:47.260 That's how they act.
00:20:48.480 That's my impression of every Democrat troll.
00:20:52.080 And here's my answer to the people who are saying, where's all that strong evidence
00:20:55.700 you'd say?
00:20:56.860 So I tweeted an answer so it'd be in the record.
00:20:59.100 I said, Democrat trolls keep asking me, where's all that evidence of election fraud I said
00:21:04.940 would be here by now?
00:21:06.320 I had to break it to them that they will never see it because Democrats don't get to see real
00:21:14.620 news.
00:21:16.000 It's just not an option.
00:21:17.560 And when I made that prediction, I should have modified it by saying, well, Republicans will
00:21:22.740 hear it because Republicans hear the news on the left and the right.
00:21:26.980 So Republicans will hear the good evidence and have.
00:21:31.280 If you're watching the live witness testimonies, I don't know if you could need more evidence
00:21:38.360 than that.
00:21:39.480 Now, whether or not those witnesses all collectively have enough of a story to change the outcome
00:21:46.820 of the vote, I doubt it, you know, I didn't see enough happening that just their testimonies
00:21:53.460 by itself would change any outcomes.
00:21:57.080 But can we say there's no strong evidence of fraud?
00:22:01.260 I would say at this point, I would say at this point, with that many witnesses, I think you
00:22:08.320 could say there's a 100% bounteous, plenty of evidence, some of it won't be true, some of
00:22:18.140 it will be people who saw things and misinterpreted it, some might be lying, some might be, who knows,
00:22:24.580 there's disinformation, disinformation, whatever.
00:22:27.340 But you certainly can't say there's no evidence, and you can't say it isn't strong if it's eyewitnesses
00:22:34.780 with the same stories and hundreds of them.
00:22:39.140 What exactly, you know, you can imagine that there would be like a murder on Fifth Avenue.
00:22:45.140 I'll just use Fifth Avenue to complicate things.
00:22:47.940 There's a murder on Fifth Avenue.
00:22:49.440 There are hundreds of eyewitnesses, hundreds, hundreds of people, and they tell the same story.
00:22:56.040 Yeah, we saw this guy kill this person right here.
00:22:59.800 What would Democrats say about that?
00:23:02.620 Hundreds of eyewitnesses telling the same story of the same event.
00:23:07.040 I believe they would say, where's the proof?
00:23:11.140 Yeah, you got people saying that people can say anything.
00:23:14.880 Where's your proof?
00:23:15.840 Well, I'm pretty sure that hundreds of eyewitnesses to a murder would be enough to convict you.
00:23:23.600 I mean, I think that goes way beyond, you know, reasonable doubt.
00:23:29.320 You're going to get pretty convicted with that many witnesses.
00:23:33.060 So why is it different for the election fraud?
00:23:35.340 Well, the difference is that the Democrats have packetized their crime
00:23:39.440 so that you can see a lot of it with your own eyes.
00:23:43.520 You can just observe it.
00:23:44.720 But you can't know how much there was.
00:23:50.320 You can't know.
00:23:51.900 You can only know what you're seeing.
00:23:53.720 You don't know how much other stuff you didn't see.
00:23:56.740 So that's the catch, is that the courts won't reverse an election
00:24:00.240 unless you can make a case that the number of votes you can prove were fraudulent would do that.
00:24:06.520 And that would be nearly impossible.
00:24:08.040 Did you see the interviews with the two postal contractors who had pretty specific stories
00:24:16.780 that make it sound as if, at least the one of them I was listening to,
00:24:22.020 he tells a story where it sounds like he drove a large truck across state borders
00:24:31.220 with what are allegedly fake ballots to change the outcome in Pennsylvania.
00:24:36.960 He drove it all the way from New York to Pennsylvania.
00:24:40.200 Now, and then he's got some kind of a story where he parked the truck,
00:24:44.000 he was told to park the truck somewhere different,
00:24:47.260 and when he woke up in the morning his truck was gone?
00:24:49.900 Or something?
00:24:54.340 So let me give you my take on this story.
00:24:58.760 I don't doubt that we live in a world where elections can be stolen
00:25:04.440 by somebody driving gigantic trucks of stolen ballots.
00:25:09.440 I don't think that's impossible.
00:25:11.500 That is within the realm of things that could happen.
00:25:15.020 And somebody's correcting me that the trailer was taken,
00:25:18.520 not the truck that was pulling it, I guess.
00:25:21.880 So he says the trailer was gone.
00:25:24.280 So that's a correction.
00:25:25.520 The trailer was gone, not the truck.
00:25:27.960 And he doesn't know where it went.
00:25:29.800 Now, would you believe that story?
00:25:35.320 Do you believe that story?
00:25:38.200 I've got a problem with that story,
00:25:40.300 and the problem is, what is my problem?
00:25:43.080 If you've been watching me for a while,
00:25:44.800 you know exactly what I'm going to say, right?
00:25:48.380 Most of you are saying they're very credible.
00:25:50.700 But what is my complaint with their story?
00:25:53.000 Let's see if you know.
00:25:54.800 Because if you don't know what I'm going to say,
00:25:57.200 I'd be disappointed,
00:25:58.480 because you should know by now exactly what I'm going to say.
00:26:01.900 Here's the problem.
00:26:03.800 A little bit too on the nose, right?
00:26:08.320 A little bit too clean.
00:26:10.220 Yeah, I'm a whistleblower, and I drove this truck,
00:26:15.200 and then it disappeared.
00:26:16.500 The trailer part disappeared.
00:26:18.620 It could be true.
00:26:21.120 Like I said, it's in the realm of possibility.
00:26:25.800 Cleanly in the realm of possibility.
00:26:28.740 But it's a little too clean, if you know what I mean.
00:26:32.720 A little too clean for my taste.
00:26:34.880 Now, I'd like to say, you know,
00:26:37.620 back up to something I said from the very beginning
00:26:39.680 of this whole mess,
00:26:41.200 95% of the evidence you see won't be true.
00:26:45.840 95%.
00:26:46.280 So if somebody presents a new piece of evidence
00:26:49.060 in this context,
00:26:50.580 and you haven't even looked at the evidence yet,
00:26:53.600 what odds do you put on this new piece of evidence?
00:26:58.160 95% chance it's not going to hold up.
00:27:00.420 But that doesn't mean anything about whether or not
00:27:03.640 the election was stolen.
00:27:05.240 It just means that confirmation bias kicked in,
00:27:08.340 as you would expect,
00:27:10.100 if there had been a real theft of the election,
00:27:12.960 that there would be a whole bunch of confirmation bias
00:27:15.520 where people are sure the election was stolen,
00:27:18.580 and so therefore they see it everywhere.
00:27:21.080 So the way a normal brain works
00:27:23.300 is that if you're pretty sure it's true,
00:27:27.300 you're going to see the proof,
00:27:28.840 even if it's not real.
00:27:31.320 So that's why the 95%,
00:27:33.180 because you can predict,
00:27:35.020 just easy to predict,
00:27:36.620 that 95% of the evidence
00:27:38.540 will be confirmation bias.
00:27:40.720 Always.
00:27:41.500 That doesn't mean, in any way,
00:27:44.420 that the 5% that could be real
00:27:47.020 is tainted by the other 95%.
00:27:49.780 It shouldn't be.
00:27:51.060 Like, they're just different things.
00:27:53.180 One is people having a mental,
00:27:55.600 you know, basically an illusion,
00:27:57.140 and the other is actual evidence.
00:27:59.280 They're just not the same thing,
00:28:00.800 so one should not pollute the other.
00:28:02.560 But in our minds, they do.
00:28:04.100 That's the persuasion of it,
00:28:06.140 is that every time one of these gets debunked,
00:28:08.460 the Democrats can say,
00:28:09.800 well, there you go.
00:28:11.380 There's another one.
00:28:12.520 See?
00:28:13.100 See?
00:28:13.440 It was just confirmation bias.
00:28:14.820 So I'm still on the side that says
00:28:19.900 it's obvious that the election was stolen,
00:28:23.260 and it's obvious without evidence.
00:28:26.820 If you don't see that,
00:28:30.100 you haven't been alive for the last several years.
00:28:34.220 It's obvious without evidence.
00:28:37.220 Now, when I say that,
00:28:38.160 I don't mean I'm looking at the outcome.
00:28:40.000 I'm not looking at Joe Biden's 80 million votes
00:28:43.800 and say, well, it's obvious.
00:28:45.280 It's obvious that couldn't have been happening.
00:28:46.840 I'm not saying that.
00:28:48.340 I know some of you do say that's obvious,
00:28:50.280 but I'd say it's possible it could have happened.
00:28:54.320 It's not, again,
00:28:55.440 it's not outside of the realm of possibility.
00:28:59.000 So it's possible.
00:29:01.560 Here's what I mean by it's obvious it was stolen.
00:29:04.520 The motivation was sky high,
00:29:08.580 and the opportunity,
00:29:10.500 which we know from the witnesses,
00:29:12.360 the witnesses have at the very least
00:29:14.360 established there were lots of ways to do it.
00:29:17.920 We don't have to wonder anymore,
00:29:19.840 was it possible?
00:29:21.400 Oh, yeah, it was possible.
00:29:23.320 It was more possible than anything
00:29:25.380 you've ever seen in your life.
00:29:27.180 Now, I don't know if it was easy,
00:29:29.060 but in terms of practical and possible,
00:29:32.540 yeah, yeah.
00:29:34.020 So you have sky high motivation,
00:29:37.000 you have complete opportunity,
00:29:39.580 and you have, you know,
00:29:41.700 a big payoff and low odds of being prosecuted
00:29:45.060 because everybody's doing a packet.
00:29:47.260 So as long as your role in the alleged scheme was,
00:29:50.780 you know, you just do this little part,
00:29:53.040 even if you get caught,
00:29:55.220 even if you get caught,
00:29:56.380 it's not that big a deal
00:29:57.620 because you just did a little part.
00:30:00.140 So I would say there's 100% chance
00:30:03.460 there was an attempt to steal it.
00:30:07.780 You can't say what the size of it was,
00:30:10.560 but you would really have to be an idiot
00:30:12.760 to think it wasn't at least attempted
00:30:15.600 to steal the election.
00:30:18.100 I mean, how dumb would you have to be
00:30:20.360 to think Democrats didn't at least try?
00:30:24.520 Now, a week ago,
00:30:26.680 I think you could be forgiven.
00:30:28.680 A week ago,
00:30:30.000 you didn't really have yet
00:30:31.280 the evidence of the witnesses
00:30:32.740 telling you how many holes there are in the system.
00:30:36.600 And if, you know,
00:30:37.540 my smart Democrat friend
00:30:39.340 that I talk about all the time,
00:30:41.060 his belief,
00:30:41.740 and other smart people
00:30:43.780 who have argued with me recently,
00:30:45.960 their beliefs are that
00:30:47.140 you could know the election was good
00:30:49.800 because, number one,
00:30:51.460 you don't have a court case
00:30:53.080 that has proved it was bad,
00:30:54.800 and number two,
00:30:56.320 it couldn't be that easy to cheat
00:30:58.420 at such a big scale.
00:31:00.740 You know, you wouldn't get away with it.
00:31:02.400 It's not really something that could be done.
00:31:05.240 But now we know that's not true.
00:31:06.620 At the very least,
00:31:08.900 we've proven that our election system
00:31:10.720 is completely vulnerable
00:31:12.180 to all kinds of influences.
00:31:15.440 So it's opposite of what you started with,
00:31:17.620 which is it's probably pretty secure,
00:31:20.040 and now I think we have a better understanding
00:31:22.140 that it's not even close.
00:31:24.200 We're not even the same conversation with security.
00:31:28.900 It is the...
00:31:29.900 It's just a Swiss cheese.
00:31:31.460 That's all it is.
00:31:33.840 So if we didn't get an attempt
00:31:36.400 to steal an election in that context,
00:31:39.600 I don't know anything about the world.
00:31:43.080 I don't know anything
00:31:44.440 if they didn't try to steal that,
00:31:47.320 whether I can ever prove it or not.
00:31:51.520 Now, what do you think are the odds
00:31:53.120 that after this Georgia senatorial election,
00:31:57.140 the runoff,
00:31:58.080 what do you think are the odds
00:31:59.240 that the two Republican candidates will win
00:32:01.960 and then sometime late in the night
00:32:06.000 a truck of misplaced ballots
00:32:07.980 will show up to reverse the outcome?
00:32:11.280 If you had to put a bet on that,
00:32:13.200 what's your bet
00:32:13.820 for the late truck of ballots
00:32:19.100 that changes the election?
00:32:21.160 Let me ask you this.
00:32:23.300 If they did that,
00:32:24.680 if this plan changed the presidential election,
00:32:28.120 why wouldn't they do it?
00:32:31.360 What would stop that?
00:32:33.740 Now, you might be saying to yourself,
00:32:35.840 well, we're going to be watching for that.
00:32:39.000 Does that matter?
00:32:40.520 Does it matter that we'll be looking
00:32:42.000 for exactly that thing?
00:32:44.100 It doesn't.
00:32:45.280 Because the entire election,
00:32:47.320 we had witnesses, you know,
00:32:49.840 coming out of the wazoo.
00:32:51.900 But did any of those witnesses
00:32:53.580 stop whatever was happening from happening?
00:32:55.620 No.
00:32:56.660 So witnesses don't make any difference.
00:32:58.720 It doesn't matter if you expect it.
00:33:00.640 That's what the witnesses are there for.
00:33:02.060 They're expecting some mischief.
00:33:04.440 I guess expecting is too strong.
00:33:06.660 But why wouldn't they?
00:33:10.240 You know, you think to yourself,
00:33:11.700 uh, Scott,
00:33:12.520 that would be a little bit too obvious.
00:33:16.220 But they know they can get away
00:33:19.740 with being too obvious.
00:33:22.800 You would have said maybe,
00:33:24.560 you know, a few months ago,
00:33:25.620 you would have said to yourself,
00:33:26.620 well, you don't want to do
00:33:27.500 a gigantic crime,
00:33:29.340 like a gigantic crime,
00:33:31.160 and also be obvious when you do it.
00:33:34.540 Wouldn't those be the two things
00:33:36.200 you would never do at the same time?
00:33:38.120 Don't do a huge crime
00:33:39.580 and make it obvious.
00:33:43.080 But I think we just watched that happen.
00:33:45.700 I think we're just watching
00:33:46.820 a gigantic theft of an election.
00:33:49.960 It does feel obvious,
00:33:51.260 now that we know that there's
00:33:52.600 so many holes in the system.
00:33:53.740 Of course.
00:33:54.600 Of course they tried.
00:33:58.760 So I don't believe
00:34:00.760 there is any disincentive
00:34:03.060 for them not to try again
00:34:05.280 under the assumption
00:34:06.300 that it worked before
00:34:07.640 and they knew it worked before,
00:34:09.020 and so why wouldn't they?
00:34:11.040 Why wouldn't they?
00:34:11.600 Senator Perdue is one of the people
00:34:16.520 running for the runoff.
00:34:20.240 So there's a story about his stock
00:34:22.920 transactions
00:34:24.720 that I've been laughing about all morning.
00:34:27.740 I shouldn't laugh about it,
00:34:28.880 but I will.
00:34:30.800 So this is what they're saying about him,
00:34:33.240 that he's one of the most active
00:34:36.000 stock traders,
00:34:37.320 and of course the implication
00:34:39.340 is that some of these trades
00:34:41.500 had to do with things
00:34:42.500 that his committee would know about
00:34:44.480 and therefore was there any kind
00:34:46.480 of insider trading going on.
00:34:48.620 Here's his defense.
00:34:50.900 So his defense is that
00:34:52.320 he uses,
00:34:56.180 that his financial advisors
00:34:57.600 make every call,
00:35:00.320 so he's not making these trades
00:35:02.780 by his own decisions,
00:35:04.720 his financial advisors,
00:35:05.900 they make every call,
00:35:07.500 and that, quote,
00:35:08.200 outside independent financial advisors
00:35:10.520 continue to be the only individuals
00:35:13.140 making transactions, right?
00:35:15.360 So he's basically saying,
00:35:16.860 you know, this isn't me.
00:35:18.220 I've delegated management
00:35:19.760 of my portfolio
00:35:20.740 to these independent financial advisors.
00:35:24.840 And those independent financial advisors
00:35:27.540 traded in the last six years
00:35:30.900 since he's been in office,
00:35:31.920 they've made 2,600 stock trades.
00:35:37.740 Now, everybody who, you know,
00:35:40.760 has a background in investment
00:35:43.460 and sort of understands this field,
00:35:46.960 you're laughing, aren't you?
00:35:50.140 You're laughing right now
00:35:51.740 because here's the funny thing.
00:35:54.600 Should we,
00:35:55.680 should voters treat Senator Perdue
00:35:58.780 harshly because of the suspicion
00:36:01.380 that some of his transactions
00:36:03.660 had some insider element to them?
00:36:06.580 Well, we don't have proof of that, right?
00:36:09.400 There's no proof.
00:36:10.600 And nor have I seen anything
00:36:11.960 that looked, you know,
00:36:12.680 directly like it would be proof.
00:36:14.600 But what do you think about the fact
00:36:17.160 that a sitting senator
00:36:19.160 would delegate his portfolio
00:36:21.520 to somebody who would make
00:36:23.500 2,600 trades in six years?
00:36:25.480 Let me give you some advice.
00:36:30.080 If your financial advisors
00:36:32.300 are handling your portfolio
00:36:34.980 and they either make on your behalf
00:36:37.280 or they even recommend
00:36:39.120 2,600 stock trades in six years,
00:36:42.840 you need to fire those advisors
00:36:45.220 like really, really quick
00:36:47.440 because this would be evidence of a crime.
00:36:50.960 If your financial advisors
00:36:52.800 make 2,600 stock trades
00:36:55.880 on your behalf
00:36:56.780 and you didn't approve them all,
00:36:58.660 like you weren't really involved,
00:37:00.020 they just happened,
00:37:01.300 this is evidence
00:37:02.680 of a gigantic financial fraud
00:37:05.600 being perpetrated
00:37:08.500 against a sitting senator
00:37:09.980 who, if he believes
00:37:12.880 that 2,600 transactions
00:37:14.660 is somehow good for him
00:37:17.400 as opposed to, obviously,
00:37:19.380 the financial advisors
00:37:20.360 are getting some benefit
00:37:22.600 from the work
00:37:23.220 that they're doing from him.
00:37:24.420 This is evidence
00:37:25.420 of a major crime
00:37:26.640 against the senator
00:37:28.780 because let me tell you
00:37:31.500 how many stock trades
00:37:33.160 there should have been
00:37:34.360 in six years.
00:37:35.940 I'll just give you a range.
00:37:37.860 Maybe in six years,
00:37:39.720 let's say it's a pretty big portfolio,
00:37:42.640 maybe 30, 30.
00:37:47.320 So the right number,
00:37:49.060 if they had been doing real work
00:37:50.880 and they were legitimate
00:37:51.920 financial advisors
00:37:52.960 and they really had
00:37:53.740 the customer's, you know,
00:37:56.640 best interests in mind,
00:37:58.280 the right number of trades
00:37:59.980 in six years,
00:38:01.340 maybe 30,
00:38:03.780 could have been zero, right?
00:38:06.100 Do you know how many stock trades
00:38:07.780 I've made in six years?
00:38:10.020 Because I have, you know,
00:38:11.620 my portfolio is probably,
00:38:13.860 you know,
00:38:14.180 at least in terms
00:38:15.620 of this conversation,
00:38:17.060 comparable to the senators.
00:38:19.080 How many stock trades
00:38:20.240 have I made?
00:38:22.520 I'll work off a memory,
00:38:23.920 but 10, maybe 10
00:38:27.920 in six years?
00:38:31.060 Because investing
00:38:33.060 is buying and holding.
00:38:35.440 That's what investing is.
00:38:37.040 Do you know what,
00:38:37.620 do you know what it is
00:38:38.520 if 2,600 trades
00:38:40.440 are made in your name
00:38:41.320 in six years?
00:38:42.740 Well, it's not investing.
00:38:44.580 I don't know
00:38:45.280 what you'd call that.
00:38:46.560 You could call it speculation.
00:38:48.160 You could call it gambling.
00:38:49.580 But it's not even close
00:38:50.780 to investing.
00:38:52.300 So the fact that he thinks
00:38:53.900 he has financial advisors
00:38:55.300 who are investing for him,
00:38:56.860 he doesn't have that.
00:38:59.040 He has somebody
00:38:59.960 who is ripping him off.
00:39:01.920 And I don't know
00:39:02.940 if he knows it.
00:39:05.260 So that's the strangest
00:39:07.240 story of the morning.
00:39:08.040 Don't ever let anybody
00:39:09.860 trade 2,600 times
00:39:11.600 under your name.
00:39:12.940 Some German influencer
00:39:14.280 came over to dunk on me today.
00:39:17.860 So there, of course,
00:39:18.780 the rest of the world
00:39:19.860 is watching our election situation.
00:39:22.140 And this German woman
00:39:23.580 who had some standing
00:39:25.480 in Germany,
00:39:26.240 I don't know,
00:39:26.660 she's semi-famous over there,
00:39:28.980 said that I'm basically
00:39:31.320 tilting at windmills
00:39:32.620 in this hopeless attempt
00:39:36.760 to suggest that there's a way
00:39:38.860 for Trump to remain in office.
00:39:42.300 And, you know,
00:39:43.940 because it's basically impossible
00:39:45.620 at this point,
00:39:46.380 is her point.
00:39:47.580 And I had to point out
00:39:49.320 that that is the most
00:39:50.220 loser philosophy
00:39:51.400 I've ever heard in my life.
00:39:53.620 All right,
00:39:53.820 so here's somebody in Germany
00:39:55.040 who is observing me
00:39:57.500 talking about the president,
00:39:59.360 and specifically,
00:40:00.500 I was talking about the fact
00:40:01.520 that the voting machines
00:40:03.040 don't have an audit ability.
00:40:05.140 And I've said
00:40:05.760 that if your vote
00:40:07.220 is with machines
00:40:08.380 that can't be audited,
00:40:09.660 you have to throw out the vote.
00:40:11.740 To me,
00:40:12.340 there's no room
00:40:13.960 for compromise there.
00:40:15.320 If you tell me,
00:40:16.260 yeah, we don't know
00:40:17.180 if the voting machines
00:40:18.080 worked or didn't,
00:40:19.560 but let's keep the vote,
00:40:21.360 well, that's just crazy.
00:40:22.740 That's crazy.
00:40:24.000 You would never do that.
00:40:25.560 No reasonable person
00:40:26.760 would do that.
00:40:28.100 You'd have to know
00:40:28.960 you could audit them
00:40:29.800 to even know
00:40:30.280 if you had a vote.
00:40:30.860 So that was my point.
00:40:33.480 Strong point.
00:40:34.880 And she said
00:40:36.480 that I was fighting
00:40:37.520 in something impossible.
00:40:39.600 But here's the irony.
00:40:41.420 How does this woman
00:40:42.280 in Germany
00:40:42.940 know I exist?
00:40:46.880 Now, she referred to me
00:40:48.100 as the Dilbert guy.
00:40:49.560 But how does she know
00:40:50.500 I exist?
00:40:52.500 The reason she knows
00:40:53.820 I exist
00:40:54.520 is that I have
00:40:55.800 a track record
00:40:56.580 of doing things
00:40:57.560 that are really,
00:40:58.820 really unlikely.
00:40:59.560 becoming a cartoonist,
00:41:02.620 a famous cartoonist.
00:41:03.560 It was very,
00:41:04.060 very unlikely.
00:41:05.580 And then pivoting
00:41:07.220 to what I'm doing now
00:41:08.340 to the point
00:41:08.940 where somebody in Germany
00:41:10.140 is talking about
00:41:11.360 my political opinions,
00:41:13.180 that was very unlikely.
00:41:16.060 So,
00:41:16.340 and then I'm talking
00:41:17.180 about Trump
00:41:17.820 and what is Trump's history?
00:41:20.300 His history
00:41:21.220 is doing the impossible.
00:41:22.720 Getting elected
00:41:23.400 in the first place,
00:41:24.880 Project Warp Speed
00:41:26.060 looked impossible.
00:41:27.040 By the way,
00:41:27.560 that's another thing
00:41:28.240 that is going to make
00:41:29.100 Biden look like an idiot.
00:41:30.740 Do you believe
00:41:31.180 that a President Biden
00:41:32.320 would have made
00:41:34.040 Warp Speed happen?
00:41:35.960 Or would he have
00:41:36.900 listened to the experts
00:41:38.040 who said
00:41:38.900 it's going to take
00:41:39.500 four years
00:41:40.300 and then Joe Biden
00:41:41.820 who really,
00:41:42.680 really listens
00:41:43.260 to the experts
00:41:44.100 would have said,
00:41:45.540 well,
00:41:45.660 I'm not going to
00:41:46.160 overrule you
00:41:47.040 because you're
00:41:48.120 the experts.
00:41:49.340 You just,
00:41:49.900 every one of you,
00:41:50.940 100% of you
00:41:51.800 just said
00:41:52.260 you can't get this
00:41:53.480 done in less than
00:41:54.160 four years
00:41:54.900 so I guess
00:41:56.060 we wait four years.
00:41:57.940 Imagine that.
00:41:59.540 What did
00:42:00.020 President Trump do?
00:42:01.920 Experts said,
00:42:02.800 that's going to
00:42:03.200 take four years
00:42:04.000 and he said,
00:42:04.860 give it to me
00:42:05.440 in six months
00:42:06.440 and the experts
00:42:07.440 said,
00:42:07.860 can't be done.
00:42:09.600 I'll tell you one thing,
00:42:10.560 there's no way
00:42:11.180 to do that
00:42:11.800 and then the President
00:42:13.180 said some version
00:42:14.200 of,
00:42:14.500 I'm assuming,
00:42:15.840 do it anyway.
00:42:17.700 You will do it.
00:42:19.200 Find a way.
00:42:20.860 Do you need
00:42:21.300 a few billion dollars?
00:42:22.820 Here's the check.
00:42:25.120 Are you losers?
00:42:26.880 Are you telling me
00:42:27.480 you can't save the country
00:42:28.680 because you're not
00:42:29.620 going to work hard enough?
00:42:30.840 You're not clever enough?
00:42:32.500 Make it fucking happen.
00:42:34.980 I think that's
00:42:35.860 what Trump did.
00:42:37.200 I think Trump
00:42:37.800 just said,
00:42:39.080 you experts
00:42:40.600 are full of shit.
00:42:41.920 Make it happen.
00:42:42.920 And then they did.
00:42:44.240 Can you,
00:42:44.700 can you even imagine
00:42:46.000 in your wildest
00:42:47.000 imagination
00:42:47.580 that Biden
00:42:48.960 could have gotten
00:42:49.740 that done?
00:42:51.160 No.
00:42:52.260 And I think
00:42:52.980 that's going to be
00:42:53.580 increasingly obvious
00:42:55.260 as time goes by.
00:42:56.940 You're going to look
00:42:57.640 at the Middle East
00:42:58.360 and you're going to say,
00:42:59.500 could Joe Biden
00:43:00.400 have gotten
00:43:01.740 the Middle East
00:43:02.420 where it's at now?
00:43:04.060 No.
00:43:05.100 There isn't even
00:43:05.860 the slightest chance
00:43:06.920 because he would have
00:43:07.460 been pro-Iran
00:43:08.340 and none of it
00:43:09.220 would work.
00:43:11.260 All right.
00:43:11.860 both Trump and I
00:43:17.020 have a long history
00:43:18.220 of doing things
00:43:19.020 that other people
00:43:19.720 thought were not
00:43:20.600 possible.
00:43:22.020 And this German
00:43:23.340 influencer
00:43:24.040 is mocking me
00:43:25.920 for doing things
00:43:26.780 that look hard
00:43:27.720 to do
00:43:28.260 such as
00:43:29.480 changing the result
00:43:30.540 of the election.
00:43:31.500 Now I'm not going
00:43:32.240 to predict
00:43:32.760 that it will change
00:43:34.340 but I will tell you
00:43:36.360 that if you're
00:43:36.980 mocking
00:43:37.380 either me
00:43:38.560 or Trump
00:43:39.280 for imagining
00:43:40.780 that we can
00:43:41.800 be involved
00:43:42.500 in something
00:43:43.040 that other people
00:43:44.060 think is hard to do
00:43:45.060 and unlikely
00:43:45.680 or impossible,
00:43:47.140 well,
00:43:47.520 you're not really
00:43:48.200 paying attention
00:43:48.880 because we've both
00:43:50.200 done that enough
00:43:50.960 that you should give us
00:43:52.140 a benefit of a doubt.
00:43:53.640 Let me put it this way.
00:43:55.140 Well,
00:43:56.220 this will sound like
00:43:57.260 I'm comparing myself
00:43:58.260 to him.
00:43:58.680 So I'm not comparing
00:43:59.480 myself to this next person.
00:44:01.280 I'm just using it
00:44:02.200 as an example.
00:44:03.760 If Elon Musk
00:44:04.820 starts a company
00:44:06.660 tomorrow,
00:44:07.360 a new company,
00:44:08.800 that everybody else
00:44:09.820 said will never work,
00:44:11.780 who are you going
00:44:12.340 to bet on?
00:44:14.020 Are you going to bet
00:44:14.580 on Elon Musk
00:44:15.600 doing yet again
00:44:17.500 something that
00:44:18.840 everybody said
00:44:19.440 wouldn't work
00:44:20.640 or are you going
00:44:21.660 to bet on the experts?
00:44:23.800 If you're smart,
00:44:25.340 you'll bet on Elon Musk
00:44:26.700 doing what everybody
00:44:27.700 said can't be done
00:44:28.660 because he's got
00:44:29.260 a history.
00:44:31.120 I started using
00:44:32.220 the word bully
00:44:33.000 to refer to
00:44:34.460 our new system.
00:44:36.000 We used to have
00:44:36.440 a republic,
00:44:37.480 but that's been
00:44:38.240 replaced with
00:44:39.020 what I'll call
00:44:39.860 a bullyocracy,
00:44:41.720 meaning that the vote
00:44:43.100 was largely controlled
00:44:44.300 by people who used
00:44:45.500 physical intimidation
00:44:46.800 and bullying.
00:44:48.680 Now,
00:44:48.940 physical intimidation
00:44:49.940 and bullying,
00:44:50.660 I consider violence
00:44:51.780 because even if you
00:44:53.020 don't see a physical
00:44:54.060 mark on the body,
00:44:56.080 a person who
00:44:56.820 experiences physical
00:44:58.780 intimidation
00:44:59.660 and bullying,
00:45:00.840 even if it's
00:45:01.480 psychological,
00:45:02.220 is damaged.
00:45:04.360 It's permanent
00:45:05.480 damage.
00:45:06.100 You just can't see it
00:45:07.060 because it's a mental
00:45:08.640 sort of damage.
00:45:11.000 So,
00:45:11.440 the first thing
00:45:12.540 I'd say is that
00:45:13.440 we did not have,
00:45:14.740 if Biden,
00:45:15.800 you know,
00:45:16.880 continues on
00:45:17.560 and becomes president,
00:45:18.780 we will not have
00:45:19.960 had a non-violent
00:45:20.980 transition.
00:45:22.320 We will have
00:45:23.180 experienced
00:45:23.820 a violent
00:45:25.000 transition,
00:45:26.200 which is the only
00:45:26.840 reason the transition
00:45:27.680 happened.
00:45:28.400 If you took the
00:45:29.320 violence out of the
00:45:30.300 process,
00:45:31.220 the violence
00:45:31.820 being the bullying
00:45:32.560 at the vote
00:45:33.260 counting stations,
00:45:34.520 you probably
00:45:35.580 wouldn't get the
00:45:36.160 same result.
00:45:37.660 Now,
00:45:37.840 I don't know if
00:45:38.220 that would change
00:45:38.720 the election
00:45:39.220 entirely,
00:45:40.080 but the vote
00:45:41.020 would be different.
00:45:43.360 And I would say
00:45:44.680 that we have
00:45:45.820 actually lost
00:45:46.520 the republic
00:45:47.080 already.
00:45:48.500 And somebody
00:45:49.440 in Ireland
00:45:50.860 tweeted at me
00:45:51.840 and said that
00:45:52.780 they're watching
00:45:53.420 the United States
00:45:54.360 because if
00:45:55.400 democracy is lost
00:45:57.120 in the United States,
00:45:58.340 Europe is toast.
00:46:00.940 So that's what
00:46:01.500 he thought.
00:46:02.380 Now,
00:46:03.120 there's something
00:46:04.140 to be said
00:46:04.680 for that view.
00:46:05.980 But here's the thing.
00:46:07.320 He was acting
00:46:08.040 as if we might
00:46:08.940 lose democracy
00:46:10.060 in this country.
00:46:12.320 He's missed
00:46:13.140 the point.
00:46:14.960 Democracy
00:46:15.440 is gone.
00:46:17.640 We are living
00:46:18.680 in a bullyocracy.
00:46:20.380 The result
00:46:21.040 of the election
00:46:21.660 wasn't based
00:46:22.520 on democracy.
00:46:24.620 It wasn't based
00:46:25.500 on, you know,
00:46:26.120 the republic.
00:46:26.660 It wasn't based
00:46:28.000 on the constitution.
00:46:29.980 So the guy
00:46:31.000 who's worried
00:46:31.540 that we will
00:46:32.120 lose democracy
00:46:33.140 in the United States,
00:46:34.200 you need to catch
00:46:34.980 up with the news.
00:46:36.420 We lost democracy
00:46:37.900 or, you know,
00:46:39.340 the republic.
00:46:41.300 We're trying
00:46:42.000 to get it back.
00:46:44.220 I do think
00:46:45.040 we can get it back
00:46:47.200 so it's not like
00:46:47.940 the end of the world.
00:46:49.540 But we don't
00:46:50.280 have it now.
00:46:51.640 It's lost.
00:46:53.180 We're trying
00:46:53.780 to get it back.
00:46:54.460 I think we will.
00:46:57.680 Do you want
00:46:58.020 to live in a system?
00:46:59.440 Here's my
00:47:00.020 weapons-grade
00:47:02.380 persuasion.
00:47:04.760 And someone
00:47:05.300 who's a good
00:47:06.200 persuader,
00:47:07.220 a trained persuader,
00:47:08.160 pointed out that
00:47:08.900 I guess I'd used
00:47:09.720 the word bully
00:47:10.320 once.
00:47:11.560 And
00:47:11.840 it kind of
00:47:14.080 stood out
00:47:14.660 as more
00:47:15.500 punchy
00:47:16.980 than other
00:47:17.460 words.
00:47:19.060 So I'm going
00:47:19.400 to use it again.
00:47:20.780 And
00:47:21.060 so I ask
00:47:21.980 this question
00:47:22.420 by tweet.
00:47:22.820 Do you want
00:47:23.220 to live
00:47:23.460 in a system
00:47:24.000 in which
00:47:24.460 bullies,
00:47:25.840 literally
00:47:26.280 physical bullies,
00:47:28.380 decide who
00:47:29.120 will be
00:47:29.440 president?
00:47:30.700 You are
00:47:31.260 living in
00:47:31.740 that system
00:47:32.280 right now,
00:47:34.960 according to
00:47:35.740 hundreds of
00:47:36.220 witnesses.
00:47:36.940 Now,
00:47:37.180 if the
00:47:37.480 hundreds of
00:47:38.040 witnesses
00:47:38.460 who allege
00:47:40.040 there was
00:47:40.360 this physical
00:47:41.000 intimidation,
00:47:42.240 if they're
00:47:42.960 all wrong,
00:47:44.740 then maybe
00:47:45.700 we still
00:47:46.080 live in a
00:47:47.300 democracy.
00:47:48.640 But I don't
00:47:49.380 think they're
00:47:49.760 all wrong,
00:47:51.000 even if some
00:47:51.820 little bit
00:47:52.020 more.
00:47:53.260 So we're
00:47:54.460 living in a
00:47:54.980 bullyocracy,
00:47:56.400 which is
00:47:57.280 quite ironic.
00:47:58.560 All right.
00:48:02.580 So now
00:48:03.640 it sounds
00:48:04.180 like the
00:48:05.740 representative
00:48:06.960 from
00:48:07.700 Alabama,
00:48:11.000 Mo Brooks
00:48:12.160 is it,
00:48:13.300 said he's
00:48:13.940 going to
00:48:14.360 challenge
00:48:15.000 the vote
00:48:16.780 in the
00:48:17.420 House,
00:48:18.000 but only
00:48:18.560 if there's
00:48:19.080 a senator
00:48:19.620 that joins
00:48:20.220 with him.
00:48:20.580 Now,
00:48:21.480 I can
00:48:21.760 think of
00:48:22.100 two senators
00:48:22.800 who might
00:48:24.100 want to
00:48:24.640 join in
00:48:25.340 with Mo
00:48:26.920 Brooks to
00:48:27.620 challenge the
00:48:28.500 outcome of
00:48:29.220 the election,
00:48:30.060 and those
00:48:30.980 two would
00:48:31.320 be the
00:48:31.660 Georgia
00:48:32.060 Republican
00:48:32.740 senators,
00:48:33.780 Loeffler and
00:48:34.500 Perdue,
00:48:35.680 because you
00:48:37.820 would sort
00:48:38.240 of expect
00:48:38.780 that they
00:48:39.460 would like
00:48:39.900 to make
00:48:40.280 their election
00:48:41.040 about Trump
00:48:42.140 because you're
00:48:43.180 going to get
00:48:43.500 a bigger
00:48:43.800 turnout.
00:48:45.220 So in
00:48:45.720 effect,
00:48:46.840 they could
00:48:47.340 make the
00:48:48.100 Georgia
00:48:48.500 election a
00:48:49.300 presidential
00:48:49.860 election.
00:48:51.160 So if
00:48:51.560 either
00:48:51.880 Loeffler
00:48:52.400 or Perdue
00:48:53.320 were to
00:48:54.380 say,
00:48:54.680 yeah,
00:48:54.920 you know,
00:48:55.640 I think
00:48:56.000 we'll
00:48:56.200 join in
00:48:56.820 on this
00:48:58.300 and throw
00:48:59.200 the outcome
00:49:00.060 of the
00:49:00.340 election into
00:49:01.020 doubt,
00:49:01.620 which could
00:49:02.420 end up
00:49:02.860 with President
00:49:03.440 Trump back
00:49:04.080 in office
00:49:04.540 if it
00:49:06.020 turns into
00:49:06.800 turmoil in
00:49:08.060 the House.
00:49:10.560 And so
00:49:10.840 Mo Brooks
00:49:11.340 just needs
00:49:11.900 one senator
00:49:12.700 to say
00:49:14.640 yes,
00:49:15.680 just one.
00:49:16.260 how close
00:49:18.800 are we
00:49:19.240 to Trump
00:49:19.920 being in
00:49:21.040 office for
00:49:21.720 a second
00:49:22.080 term if
00:49:23.440 you only
00:49:23.820 need one
00:49:24.600 Republican
00:49:25.180 senator to
00:49:26.840 say,
00:49:27.360 yeah,
00:49:27.620 I'll join
00:49:28.080 you,
00:49:28.460 Mo Brooks,
00:49:29.400 just one.
00:49:30.780 And then
00:49:31.500 it becomes
00:49:32.360 a House
00:49:33.140 kerfuffle.
00:49:34.540 Now this
00:49:34.920 is the part,
00:49:35.480 I heard two
00:49:36.000 different stories
00:49:36.640 about this,
00:49:37.440 but my
00:49:37.720 understanding
00:49:38.320 is that
00:49:41.720 if it
00:49:42.120 comes to
00:49:42.480 a vote
00:49:42.840 in the
00:49:43.100 House,
00:49:44.200 that they
00:49:44.820 just get
00:49:45.420 one vote
00:49:45.980 per state,
00:49:47.100 which would
00:49:48.020 mean that
00:49:48.620 Republicans
00:49:49.240 win because
00:49:49.800 there are
00:49:50.000 more Republican
00:49:50.660 states.
00:49:51.860 So correct
00:49:52.980 me if I'm
00:49:53.540 wrong,
00:49:54.080 and I think
00:49:54.500 I must be,
00:49:55.460 I must be
00:49:56.100 wrong because
00:49:56.700 I don't see
00:49:57.200 this in the
00:49:57.720 news,
00:49:58.900 but are
00:50:01.080 we really
00:50:01.600 just one
00:50:02.640 senator,
00:50:03.520 a Republican,
00:50:04.840 away from
00:50:05.440 saying yes
00:50:06.720 and that
00:50:08.220 would put
00:50:08.600 Trump back
00:50:09.040 in office?
00:50:10.340 Are we
00:50:11.020 actually that
00:50:11.640 close to
00:50:13.100 that outcome
00:50:13.780 that literally
00:50:14.700 Senator
00:50:15.920 Cruz would
00:50:16.720 just have
00:50:17.120 to do
00:50:17.420 this,
00:50:19.200 just raise
00:50:20.160 his hand,
00:50:21.580 and Trump
00:50:22.600 would be
00:50:23.100 in office
00:50:24.200 for a second
00:50:24.700 term?
00:50:26.080 Because I
00:50:26.640 feel like I'm
00:50:27.240 not understanding
00:50:28.060 something here.
00:50:29.260 Because if that
00:50:30.280 were true,
00:50:32.420 wouldn't that be
00:50:33.060 the only thing
00:50:33.880 in the news?
00:50:35.640 Would there
00:50:36.260 be any headlines
00:50:37.100 on anything
00:50:37.860 else?
00:50:39.340 Why is this
00:50:40.440 sort of getting
00:50:41.620 the soft
00:50:43.480 treatment?
00:50:44.620 Because I
00:50:45.080 think I'm
00:50:45.540 misunderstanding
00:50:46.300 it, right?
00:50:47.260 Am I
00:50:47.620 misunderstanding
00:50:48.220 that Mo
00:50:49.720 Brooks plus
00:50:50.400 one senator
00:50:51.180 could cause
00:50:52.560 enough of
00:50:53.100 a problem
00:50:55.020 with the
00:50:55.480 election result
00:50:56.300 that it would
00:50:57.240 go to the
00:50:57.620 House and
00:50:58.280 then it would
00:50:58.660 be one vote
00:50:59.440 per state?
00:51:00.360 I think that's
00:51:01.100 the part I
00:51:01.480 might be
00:51:01.780 getting wrong.
00:51:03.280 Can somebody
00:51:03.760 confirm that
00:51:04.360 to me?
00:51:05.400 Because it
00:51:05.760 can't be that,
00:51:06.680 we can't be
00:51:07.280 that close
00:51:08.060 to a
00:51:09.360 President Trump
00:51:10.060 for a second
00:51:10.540 term without
00:51:11.260 that being
00:51:11.760 the only
00:51:12.340 headline.
00:51:14.440 So I
00:51:15.040 would think
00:51:15.340 the obvious
00:51:16.160 ones,
00:51:16.740 senators,
00:51:17.480 if somebody's
00:51:17.880 going to
00:51:18.000 say yes,
00:51:18.400 would be
00:51:18.640 Ted Cruz.
00:51:19.820 Ted Cruz
00:51:20.420 would be
00:51:20.700 the obvious
00:51:21.140 one.
00:51:22.820 He would
00:51:23.240 be the
00:51:23.480 most,
00:51:24.200 I think
00:51:24.720 the one
00:51:25.020 with the
00:51:25.300 most weight
00:51:26.000 if you
00:51:27.680 really wanted
00:51:28.080 to make
00:51:28.360 that happen.
00:51:29.080 But the
00:51:29.380 Georgia
00:51:29.640 senators,
00:51:30.200 they've
00:51:30.360 got a
00:51:30.940 special
00:51:31.900 interest
00:51:32.220 too.
00:51:34.880 Here's
00:51:35.360 my bottom
00:51:35.780 line on
00:51:36.520 what people
00:51:37.040 are thinking
00:51:37.400 about this
00:51:37.940 election.
00:51:38.940 I can
00:51:39.380 totally
00:51:39.740 understand
00:51:40.320 if there
00:51:40.860 are
00:51:40.960 Democrats
00:51:41.320 who
00:51:41.620 feel
00:51:42.020 that
00:51:42.920 the
00:51:43.080 election
00:51:43.400 was
00:51:43.920 not
00:51:44.180 stolen.
00:51:45.220 That
00:51:45.460 wouldn't
00:51:45.680 be
00:51:45.860 crazy.
00:51:47.160 I feel
00:51:47.700 it would
00:51:47.980 be
00:51:48.220 uninformed,
00:51:50.060 but it's
00:51:50.680 not crazy.
00:51:52.060 There are
00:51:52.580 also Democrats
00:51:53.360 who would
00:51:53.660 think,
00:51:54.020 well,
00:51:54.860 we'll never
00:51:55.500 know how
00:51:56.620 much fraud
00:51:57.320 there was
00:51:57.860 or wasn't,
00:51:59.060 but we
00:52:00.140 don't see
00:52:00.540 evidence that
00:52:01.220 it's so much
00:52:01.820 it will
00:52:02.180 change the
00:52:02.840 election,
00:52:04.000 so let's
00:52:04.820 just sort
00:52:05.200 of get over
00:52:05.760 it and move
00:52:06.680 on with
00:52:07.080 life.
00:52:07.260 That's
00:52:07.720 kind of
00:52:07.980 reasonable.
00:52:09.180 I
00:52:09.300 wouldn't
00:52:09.820 agree with
00:52:10.340 it, but
00:52:10.840 it's
00:52:11.160 reasonable.
00:52:12.320 Here's
00:52:12.920 what's
00:52:13.860 not
00:52:14.240 reasonable.
00:52:15.940 If you
00:52:16.660 don't think
00:52:17.220 it was
00:52:19.640 possible
00:52:20.420 that the
00:52:22.420 election was
00:52:23.020 stolen,
00:52:24.340 and you
00:52:24.900 don't think
00:52:25.420 that the
00:52:25.800 motivation to
00:52:26.740 do that
00:52:27.220 thing that
00:52:27.740 was very
00:52:28.160 possible
00:52:28.620 was sky
00:52:29.980 high,
00:52:31.000 you're a
00:52:32.080 fucking
00:52:32.380 idiot.
00:52:33.300 You are
00:52:33.940 so dumb.
00:52:34.680 Now,
00:52:35.720 that doesn't
00:52:36.160 mean it
00:52:36.440 happened,
00:52:37.520 but if
00:52:38.180 you think
00:52:38.660 it's not
00:52:39.280 possible,
00:52:41.080 and you
00:52:41.400 think the
00:52:41.800 motivation
00:52:42.300 wasn't there
00:52:43.040 and people
00:52:43.560 willing to
00:52:44.060 do it,
00:52:44.840 you're really
00:52:45.620 dumb.
00:52:46.720 I mean,
00:52:47.020 you're seriously
00:52:47.760 dumb.
00:52:48.620 You're like
00:52:49.160 rock dumb.
00:52:52.020 You're like
00:52:52.600 not even
00:52:53.020 human.
00:52:54.420 That's so
00:52:55.140 dumb.
00:52:56.020 That's dumb
00:52:56.600 beyond any
00:52:57.560 level of
00:52:58.140 dumbness you
00:52:58.780 could ever
00:52:59.220 have.
00:52:59.700 But again,
00:53:00.980 it doesn't
00:53:01.480 mean that
00:53:01.900 they're wrong
00:53:02.540 if they
00:53:02.860 think that
00:53:03.240 the election
00:53:03.720 actually went
00:53:05.400 to Biden.
00:53:05.900 They could
00:53:06.120 be right.
00:53:07.960 All right.
00:53:08.620 The CDC
00:53:09.100 director said
00:53:09.900 it looks like
00:53:11.780 the data
00:53:12.120 says that
00:53:12.600 opening schools,
00:53:13.740 if you're
00:53:14.000 careful,
00:53:15.160 can still
00:53:15.740 make sense.
00:53:18.840 And is
00:53:20.960 that not
00:53:21.500 Trump being
00:53:22.380 right again?
00:53:24.000 So what's
00:53:25.440 Biden going
00:53:26.080 to do when
00:53:27.180 the CDC
00:53:27.860 and the
00:53:28.540 experts all
00:53:29.620 say,
00:53:30.420 you know,
00:53:30.920 Trump was
00:53:31.460 really right
00:53:31.980 about this
00:53:32.400 opening up
00:53:32.940 schools.
00:53:34.000 Does that
00:53:34.580 make Biden
00:53:35.080 look good
00:53:35.540 again?
00:53:37.140 I don't know.
00:53:38.300 Maybe if he
00:53:38.960 says I'm
00:53:39.340 listening to
00:53:39.700 the experts,
00:53:40.260 it all works
00:53:40.680 out.
00:53:41.920 Blake Masters,
00:53:43.360 who has the
00:53:44.200 best name of
00:53:45.180 any human
00:53:45.720 being.
00:53:47.460 Imagine
00:53:47.880 naming your
00:53:48.500 kid,
00:53:49.240 I guess the
00:53:49.800 last name is
00:53:50.360 automatic,
00:53:50.960 but imagine
00:53:52.600 naming your
00:53:53.120 kid Blake
00:53:53.680 Masters.
00:53:55.040 Is that
00:53:55.680 kid not
00:53:57.600 automatically
00:53:58.260 going to have
00:53:58.740 a pretty
00:53:59.060 good life?
00:54:00.380 I feel
00:54:00.800 like if
00:54:01.680 somebody came
00:54:02.220 in for a
00:54:02.920 job interview
00:54:03.580 and I saw
00:54:04.240 their name
00:54:04.720 on the
00:54:05.120 resume and
00:54:06.280 it was
00:54:06.420 Blake Masters,
00:54:08.080 I'd be like,
00:54:09.180 well, okay,
00:54:09.880 I think we're
00:54:10.240 done here.
00:54:10.620 I've got to
00:54:10.860 hire that
00:54:11.220 guy.
00:54:12.140 I mean,
00:54:12.340 his name is
00:54:12.820 just so
00:54:14.040 powerful.
00:54:15.720 It's just
00:54:16.300 this perfect
00:54:16.820 name,
00:54:17.680 Blake Masters.
00:54:19.040 Anyway,
00:54:21.020 he said
00:54:21.460 Arizona isn't
00:54:22.580 Philly, but I
00:54:23.720 guess he lives
00:54:24.240 there, and he
00:54:24.620 says, but we
00:54:25.560 do use
00:54:26.060 Dominion voting
00:54:26.840 machines.
00:54:27.300 The Secretary
00:54:28.480 of State has
00:54:29.260 the BLM
00:54:30.060 hashtag in
00:54:30.860 her bio, and
00:54:32.080 she calls
00:54:32.520 Trump supporters
00:54:33.340 neo-Nazis.
00:54:34.820 Seems bad.
00:54:37.160 So how much
00:54:38.480 do you trust
00:54:39.080 your election
00:54:39.700 when they have
00:54:41.820 Dominion voting
00:54:42.560 machines, the
00:54:43.180 Secretary of
00:54:43.880 State is a
00:54:45.080 Black Lives Matter
00:54:45.840 supporter, and
00:54:47.220 calls the other
00:54:47.980 side neo-Nazis?
00:54:49.180 I would say
00:54:51.680 that that does
00:54:52.440 open up the
00:54:53.020 possibility of a
00:54:54.840 little fraud.
00:54:56.120 Possibility.
00:54:56.820 Doesn't mean it
00:54:57.400 happened.
00:54:58.520 Possibility.
00:55:00.000 All right, here's
00:55:00.620 my last topic.
00:55:02.260 There's a cool
00:55:03.280 thing happening
00:55:04.060 in crime
00:55:05.160 fighting right
00:55:05.820 now, worthy
00:55:07.120 of note, that
00:55:09.500 it's been sort
00:55:11.180 of, what would
00:55:12.280 you call it,
00:55:12.660 privatized?
00:55:14.080 Because it
00:55:14.760 turns out that
00:55:15.360 there are some
00:55:15.840 new technologies
00:55:16.820 that would solve
00:55:18.260 a bunch of
00:55:18.760 crimes, but
00:55:20.040 the local
00:55:20.800 police forces,
00:55:21.780 et cetera, are
00:55:22.520 sort of slow to
00:55:23.420 adopt new
00:55:24.100 things, and if
00:55:25.440 there's a budget
00:55:26.120 implication, then
00:55:28.120 they could be
00:55:28.540 really slow, right?
00:55:29.940 So there are now
00:55:30.820 crime-fighting
00:55:31.780 technologies, which
00:55:33.480 if we could
00:55:34.060 afford them, and
00:55:35.040 the police
00:55:35.980 departments
00:55:36.400 incorporated them,
00:55:37.680 they would solve
00:55:38.380 a whole bunch of
00:55:39.220 new crimes.
00:55:40.420 I mean, it would
00:55:40.740 just immediately
00:55:42.000 solve all kinds
00:55:43.340 of stuff, if
00:55:44.540 they could afford
00:55:45.060 it.
00:55:45.260 So the
00:55:47.740 interim solution
00:55:48.800 is that this
00:55:50.320 company, Authorum,
00:55:51.460 which I've talked
00:55:52.040 about, I've had
00:55:52.840 guests on here, so
00:55:54.240 they can look at
00:55:54.920 the DNA from a
00:55:56.440 crime scene, and
00:55:58.080 they can find a
00:55:59.580 family connection,
00:56:00.800 which is the new
00:56:01.640 part of the
00:56:02.060 technology.
00:56:03.520 So these days,
00:56:04.300 there's enough
00:56:04.760 DNA, you know,
00:56:06.480 in the world, in
00:56:09.500 databases, that
00:56:10.520 they can find a
00:56:11.600 family member, and
00:56:12.920 if you find a
00:56:13.600 family member, you
00:56:14.520 can pretty much
00:56:15.300 always find the
00:56:16.460 person after that.
00:56:18.160 So Authorum would
00:56:20.080 simply need the
00:56:21.040 police departments
00:56:21.740 to say, here's
00:56:22.800 some money to
00:56:24.040 fund your project,
00:56:25.440 to, you know, do
00:56:26.140 your little work
00:56:26.760 there.
00:56:27.440 And so they
00:56:28.240 started to do
00:56:28.980 crowdfunding.
00:56:31.120 So right now,
00:56:32.300 Authorum will
00:56:32.860 work with a
00:56:33.660 local law
00:56:36.220 enforcement, and
00:56:37.500 the two of them
00:56:38.040 will agree to
00:56:38.760 start a little
00:56:39.280 GoFundMe, I
00:56:40.200 think it's
00:56:40.460 GoFundMe, and
00:56:41.700 if you fund
00:56:42.520 it, Authorum
00:56:44.200 will go solve
00:56:44.840 the crime.
00:56:47.180 Did you see
00:56:47.980 that coming?
00:56:49.460 Did any of you
00:56:50.560 predict that we
00:56:52.220 would have a
00:56:52.840 GoFundMe to
00:56:53.720 solve crimes, and
00:56:54.860 that it would
00:56:55.260 work?
00:56:56.300 Here's the
00:56:57.260 kicker.
00:56:58.260 How often will
00:56:59.300 it work?
00:57:00.900 Well, with the
00:57:01.520 Authorum
00:57:02.360 example, it's
00:57:03.400 close to 100%.
00:57:04.640 So if you give
00:57:06.160 money to one of
00:57:06.900 these crime-solving
00:57:08.280 things, it will
00:57:09.700 actually solve
00:57:10.340 the crime.
00:57:11.740 And, you
00:57:12.260 know, there's
00:57:12.540 an active one
00:57:13.200 now I tweeted
00:57:13.740 about.
00:57:14.260 You can see it
00:57:14.720 in my Twitter
00:57:15.160 feed from
00:57:15.580 yesterday.
00:57:16.660 So I would
00:57:17.840 think that if
00:57:18.480 the GoFundMe
00:57:19.460 concept proves
00:57:20.940 that the
00:57:21.340 technology solves
00:57:22.340 crime, it
00:57:23.040 would be only
00:57:23.480 a matter of
00:57:23.980 time before
00:57:25.060 the local
00:57:25.900 law enforcement
00:57:26.560 would find a
00:57:28.000 budget for it
00:57:28.780 and include it.
00:57:30.980 Who controls
00:57:31.900 the DNA
00:57:32.400 machines?
00:57:34.120 The DNA
00:57:34.880 machines?
00:57:36.200 Well, I don't
00:57:36.700 think there are
00:57:37.340 DNA machines.
00:57:39.700 All right.
00:57:42.760 Did I listen to
00:57:43.380 the Trump
00:57:43.720 speech yesterday?
00:57:44.580 I did not.
00:57:45.600 I did not listen
00:57:46.660 to it.
00:57:47.120 I understand
00:57:47.640 there were many
00:57:48.180 accusations which
00:57:49.260 his critics say
00:57:51.960 have been debunked,
00:57:53.440 which is what I
00:57:55.620 would have
00:57:55.880 expected.
00:57:56.560 So I didn't
00:57:57.400 feel I need to
00:57:58.380 listen.
00:57:59.100 Oh, let me
00:57:59.620 defend myself on
00:58:00.980 one thing today.
00:58:02.700 So the witness
00:58:04.720 testimonies yesterday
00:58:05.620 included the
00:58:06.460 blonde woman that
00:58:07.780 I was complimenting
00:58:08.840 yesterday.
00:58:10.420 Now, somebody
00:58:11.620 who's an
00:58:12.900 anti-Trumper
00:58:13.620 tweeted a little
00:58:14.700 clip of her
00:58:15.500 talking in
00:58:16.720 which we
00:58:18.620 don't know
00:58:19.340 the truth,
00:58:20.820 so I'll talk
00:58:21.400 about the
00:58:22.520 perception.
00:58:24.000 So only talking
00:58:24.800 about the
00:58:25.220 perception.
00:58:26.300 The perception
00:58:26.940 is she looked
00:58:27.840 inebriated when
00:58:28.980 she was talking
00:58:30.580 in public about
00:58:31.400 what she
00:58:32.460 witnessed in
00:58:33.120 terms of
00:58:33.480 fraud at the
00:58:34.140 election vote
00:58:35.560 counting sites.
00:58:36.160 Now, I feel
00:58:38.200 that that was
00:58:39.720 worth retweeting.
00:58:41.520 Not because I
00:58:42.540 want her to have
00:58:43.220 less credibility.
00:58:44.620 I don't.
00:58:45.820 And I don't
00:58:46.480 think that if she
00:58:47.320 had a drink at
00:58:48.020 lunch, and I
00:58:48.640 don't know if
00:58:48.980 that's true, it
00:58:50.080 could be just her
00:58:50.780 normal personality
00:58:51.740 as some people
00:58:52.700 were suggesting.
00:58:53.960 But the point
00:58:55.020 is, to the
00:58:56.380 untrained eye,
00:58:57.400 somebody who
00:58:57.820 doesn't know her
00:58:58.460 personally, she
00:58:59.840 looked inebriated.
00:59:00.760 And that's
00:59:03.840 part of the
00:59:04.240 story.
00:59:05.380 So if you're
00:59:06.220 trying to judge
00:59:06.960 how people
00:59:07.640 received her, or
00:59:08.960 whether she was
00:59:10.320 being judged as
00:59:11.260 credible, unfortunately
00:59:12.700 that's part of the
00:59:13.520 story now.
00:59:14.620 I don't want that
00:59:15.580 to be true, and
00:59:16.940 I don't want
00:59:17.560 anything bad to
00:59:18.500 happen or any
00:59:19.360 reputational problem
00:59:20.560 to happen to
00:59:21.600 this woman who I
00:59:22.420 consider a patriot.
00:59:24.500 And I also don't
00:59:25.640 care if she had a
00:59:26.260 couple of drinks
00:59:26.840 at lunch, because
00:59:29.180 she's got a really
00:59:30.100 stressful thing she's
00:59:31.220 doing, she's
00:59:31.780 probably getting
00:59:32.260 death threats and
00:59:33.040 everything else.
00:59:33.860 So if she needed a
00:59:34.720 couple of drinks for
00:59:35.480 lunch to finish her
00:59:36.460 story, I don't have
00:59:37.740 any problem with
00:59:38.300 that.
00:59:38.880 But it is part of
00:59:39.680 the story.
00:59:41.200 Part of the story
00:59:42.060 is that she left
00:59:45.020 an impression, which
00:59:46.720 is part of the
00:59:47.700 credibility
00:59:48.380 conversation.
00:59:50.960 So I
00:59:52.380 apologize if
00:59:54.680 anybody thinks I
00:59:55.500 was dunking on
00:59:56.440 her.
00:59:56.760 I have complete
00:59:57.440 respect for her
00:59:58.620 as a patriot.
01:00:00.100 as somebody who's
01:00:01.660 taking, you know,
01:00:03.060 she's painting a
01:00:04.220 target on her own
01:00:05.120 back to do what
01:00:06.840 she's doing.
01:00:07.840 So she's sacrificing
01:00:09.100 for the country?
01:00:10.620 For the country.
01:00:12.100 There's nothing in it
01:00:13.060 for her.
01:00:13.500 It's all downside for
01:00:14.760 her.
01:00:15.260 In fact, you know,
01:00:16.540 could this be a
01:00:17.200 better example of
01:00:18.400 it's all downside for
01:00:19.380 her?
01:00:19.840 It's all downside for
01:00:21.340 her.
01:00:22.320 Pure patriot.
01:00:24.260 Sacrificing for the
01:00:25.060 country.
01:00:26.160 I love that woman.
01:00:28.100 I love that woman.
01:00:29.360 So she's my hero.
01:00:31.220 But she may have had
01:00:32.160 a drink at lunch.
01:00:33.460 It's just part of the
01:00:34.200 story.
01:00:34.720 There's no reason to
01:00:35.580 ignore it.
01:00:36.620 And as I was telling
01:00:37.520 people who were
01:00:38.240 criticizing me for
01:00:39.280 retweeting that, I'm
01:00:40.680 not a CNN.
01:00:42.680 CNN might ignore an
01:00:45.320 uncomfortable part of
01:00:46.440 a story, but I don't
01:00:47.240 need to do that.
01:00:48.960 I can tell you the
01:00:49.720 whole story.
01:00:50.320 I don't need to keep
01:00:51.880 news away from you to
01:00:53.100 protect you.
01:00:53.680 And there are a
01:00:56.160 number of people who
01:00:56.820 say, you know, that
01:00:58.360 that's a misinterpretation
01:00:59.600 and that that was just
01:01:00.820 her personality.
01:01:02.040 Could be.
01:01:03.780 I don't rule out the
01:01:05.380 fact that she was just
01:01:06.260 being her.
01:01:11.380 Dems will cut her
01:01:12.640 brake line, somebody
01:01:13.400 says.
01:01:14.500 Well, I don't know
01:01:15.280 about that.
01:01:16.260 All right.
01:01:17.320 Enough for now.
01:01:18.020 Periscope's gone.
01:01:22.480 You've got me for,
01:01:24.060 you've got my full
01:01:24.700 attention for a moment
01:01:25.600 here.
01:01:28.100 Somebody says, I did
01:01:29.060 love her hair.
01:01:29.980 Angela says, I liked
01:01:31.340 it too.
01:01:32.800 I liked her hair.
01:01:35.500 That's a weird thing
01:01:36.420 to say, but I was
01:01:37.060 having the same
01:01:38.380 impression.
01:01:39.580 She was a very
01:01:40.180 likable character,
01:01:41.460 wouldn't you say?
01:01:42.940 Like, you know, she's
01:01:45.540 sort of a lively,
01:01:47.100 interesting person.
01:01:48.020 Um, I'm always
01:01:57.560 amused when random
01:01:58.920 racists come into
01:02:00.360 the comment thing
01:02:02.380 and just say insanely
01:02:04.820 racist stuff and act
01:02:07.400 like, uh, and act like
01:02:09.140 maybe other people are
01:02:09.980 going to say, yeah.
01:02:12.640 Um, she doesn't seem
01:02:17.800 credible to me.
01:02:18.700 Somebody says, you
01:02:20.860 know, I, I'm going to
01:02:22.300 say it again, but I
01:02:23.440 don't think you should
01:02:24.080 take any individual
01:02:25.260 story as, as the
01:02:27.180 credible one.
01:02:27.960 I think you have to
01:02:28.680 look at them as a, as
01:02:30.040 a group.
01:02:30.760 Um, were you, were you
01:02:34.120 surprised the Democrats
01:02:35.880 didn't get better
01:02:36.740 persuasion advice?
01:02:37.960 I was a little bit.
01:02:39.300 Yeah.
01:02:39.760 It did seem to me that
01:02:42.060 the Democrats did not
01:02:43.480 have a professional
01:02:44.620 persuader working for
01:02:45.820 their team, you know,
01:02:47.580 unless they didn't do as
01:02:48.620 good a job this time,
01:02:49.560 but it didn't look like
01:02:50.480 they had the same kind
01:02:52.620 of talent that, uh,
01:02:54.040 Hillary had
01:02:54.600 persuasion-wise.
01:02:57.580 Um, all right.
01:03:02.800 That's all for now.
01:03:03.740 And I will talk to you
01:03:05.520 tomorrow.
01:03:06.680 tomorrow.
