Summary

It's the best hour of the day, and it's the only time of day that's the good one, which is also the worst. It's the morning after a MAGA support-the-police event in which a group of Antifa crashed into a crowd of police officers.

00:00:00.000 Bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum.
00:00:07.480 You know, people are always asking me, they're saying,
00:00:10.920 Scott, what is the best hour of the day?
00:00:15.880 Because you've got 24 hours in a day,
00:00:18.760 and people quite reasonably are saying,
00:00:21.120 is there a good one?
00:00:22.780 Is there one of those hours that's the good hour?
00:00:25.400 Yeah, there really is.
00:00:27.240 Do you know what's a bad hour of the day?
00:00:29.240 Four o'clock.
00:00:30.780 Nobody likes four o'clock in the afternoon.
00:00:33.840 Bad hour.
00:00:35.760 You know what's a pretty good hour?
00:00:38.600 Eight o'clock at night.
00:00:40.600 Eight o'clock at night, it's a very good hour.
00:00:43.500 But the best hour is this one.
00:00:47.100 At this very time, every single day,
00:00:49.900 when Coffee with Scott Adams happens,
00:00:52.000 the only unifying thing in the whole world,
00:00:55.660 everything else is divisive.
00:00:58.820 But you can enjoy this at Unity with a cup or mug or glass of tank or chalice or stein,
00:01:03.260 a canteen jug or flask,
00:01:05.300 a vessel of any kind.
00:01:08.180 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:09.760 I like coffee.
00:01:10.720 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day,
00:01:16.000 the thing that makes everything better except Dominion software.
00:01:21.260 It's called the Simultaneous Hip.
00:01:23.040 What happens now?
00:01:24.220 Go.
00:01:31.380 Yeah, that's good.
00:01:32.300 I've been corrected that 4 p.m. is good.
00:01:38.960 4 p.m., it turns out, because that includes 4.20.
00:01:43.380 So I stand corrected.
00:01:45.760 All right, here's the most exciting news of the day.
00:01:48.140 I didn't know this was even happening.
00:01:52.400 But apparently, years ago,
00:01:54.840 a spaceship was sent into deep space
00:01:58.460 to find and track down an asteroid,
00:02:02.920 land on the asteroid,
00:02:05.440 burrow into it,
00:02:07.500 grab some dirt from below the surface of the asteroid,
00:02:11.480 and send it back to Earth
00:02:14.640 and land it.
00:02:18.480 I mean, I don't know if land is the right word,
00:02:21.220 but we got the capsule back.
00:02:24.340 I almost can't even speak those words.
00:02:26.800 That is so freaking cool.
00:02:30.120 We put, we, humanity,
00:02:32.420 I didn't have anything to do with it,
00:02:34.120 we put a rocket into space
00:02:36.300 that chased down an asteroid,
00:02:38.980 dug a hole,
00:02:39.820 took some dirt,
00:02:40.900 and sent it back to Earth.
00:02:43.020 Can you believe it?
00:02:44.900 You think that's amazing?
00:02:46.820 You haven't even heard the wackiest part.
00:02:50.900 So the capsule just got back to Earth,
00:02:53.980 and when they opened it,
00:02:56.580 nothing but Trump ballots inside.
00:03:01.200 Apparently, a lot of Trump ballots
00:03:03.140 had been buried on a distant asteroid,
00:03:06.720 and it's only luck
00:03:08.940 that the spaceship found them.
00:03:11.400 It makes you wonder,
00:03:12.380 makes you wonder how many other asteroids
00:03:14.720 have ballots inside them,
00:03:17.360 right?
00:03:18.540 Because they look like regular asteroids
00:03:20.440 on the outside,
00:03:21.280 but they could be hollow.
00:03:23.280 They could be.
00:03:24.680 No, I'm just kidding.
00:03:25.780 There were no Trump ballots in that capsule.
00:03:28.600 It was only alien spores.
00:03:30.780 So, nothing to worry about.
00:03:34.380 Just alien spores.
00:03:36.760 I don't see how those could hurt us.
00:03:39.660 Well, we also had some news
00:03:41.080 up in the state of Washington
00:03:43.160 where some MAGA people
00:03:45.120 had some kind of support-the-police event,
00:03:49.040 which was crashed by a number of Antifa,
00:03:52.860 who apparently had not calculated
00:03:55.820 the numbers correctly.
00:03:57.360 You know, if you're going to join Antifa,
00:04:01.800 I would recommend
00:04:03.960 that you have in your little group,
00:04:07.260 you know, each group of little terrorists,
00:04:09.800 you would have somebody
00:04:10.540 who's good at math,
00:04:12.080 because I think they got the math wrong,
00:04:14.880 because the group of Antifa
00:04:16.700 turned out to be roughly the same size
00:04:19.400 as the group of MAGA supporters.
00:04:22.620 Well, it didn't go well for Antifa.
00:04:25.100 Now, I think they really need a spotter
00:04:28.740 and a mathematician
00:04:30.280 to kind of, you know,
00:04:32.200 kind of scope out the event
00:04:34.060 and say,
00:04:35.000 it looks like,
00:04:35.740 I think they got 150 people at that event.
00:04:41.380 We've got 35.
00:04:47.140 Run!
00:04:48.280 Run!
00:04:49.340 Run away!
00:04:49.800 Run away!
00:04:51.000 Yeah.
00:04:52.240 The reason that I have never been worried
00:04:54.280 about Antifa taking over the country
00:04:56.300 is because the minute they get out of the city,
00:04:59.080 we're going to beat the shit out of them.
00:05:02.160 It's not even going to be close.
00:05:04.260 Just get out of that little city,
00:05:05.820 you fucking assholes.
00:05:08.020 Just come out to the country.
00:05:10.660 Come to the suburbs.
00:05:12.400 Pay us a visit.
00:05:14.180 We are going to kick your fucking asses
00:05:16.440 all the way back to your little city,
00:05:18.020 which you can have.
00:05:19.540 You can keep the city.
00:05:20.940 I don't care about the city.
00:05:22.680 I don't live there.
00:05:23.920 And the cities are doomed anyway.
00:05:25.640 I mean,
00:05:26.160 if you think about it,
00:05:27.840 between the fact that people
00:05:29.280 are going to telecommute
00:05:30.740 probably from now on
00:05:32.140 because of the coronavirus,
00:05:33.660 then you add the lawlessness
00:05:34.960 and
00:05:35.640 who the hell would live in a city
00:05:37.760 if they had a choice?
00:05:39.280 Right?
00:05:39.960 Living in a city
00:05:40.960 is going to turn into
00:05:42.200 like what happened to your life.
00:05:45.000 You must have made really bad choices.
00:05:46.660 You live in a city?
00:05:48.760 Why would you do that?
00:05:51.480 So if you're worried about Antifa
00:05:53.120 spreading from the city to the country,
00:05:55.560 there were quite a few
00:05:57.000 MAGA people in Washington state
00:06:00.360 who would like to suggest
00:06:02.140 that that won't go so well.
00:06:07.440 All right.
00:06:09.040 Here's a statement
00:06:10.380 that I think sums up
00:06:12.120 where we're at.
00:06:13.820 I tweeted this.
00:06:15.960 I think the fake news
00:06:16.960 destroyed America.
00:06:21.480 And so
00:06:21.980 unfortunately,
00:06:23.760 the fake news
00:06:24.320 has this weird power
00:06:25.540 where they can break something,
00:06:28.320 but because they're the news,
00:06:30.520 they can simply report
00:06:31.740 that you broke it.
00:06:33.800 Imagine if,
00:06:34.600 you know,
00:06:34.800 when you were growing up
00:06:35.600 you had siblings.
00:06:37.260 Imagine if you had one sibling,
00:06:39.520 just one of your siblings,
00:06:40.880 who had the power of the press.
00:06:43.840 So you had a sibling
00:06:44.660 that could go break something,
00:06:46.120 go break a window.
00:06:47.580 And then when mom and dad
00:06:48.820 came and said,
00:06:49.400 hey,
00:06:49.600 who broke the window?
00:06:51.240 Your sibling who broke the window
00:06:52.700 said,
00:06:53.760 well,
00:06:54.500 I've been the designated news,
00:06:57.020 so I'm the news organization
00:06:58.440 of this family.
00:07:00.180 And the news is that
00:07:01.980 my sibling broke that window.
00:07:04.580 And your parents say,
00:07:06.800 okay,
00:07:07.380 you're the news,
00:07:09.460 so it must be true.
00:07:11.280 And then you punish,
00:07:12.640 punish that other kid.
00:07:14.560 Now,
00:07:15.000 would you think
00:07:15.560 that was a good system?
00:07:17.100 Would that be a good system
00:07:18.540 that one of the kids
00:07:20.080 could simply blame the others
00:07:23.160 for their own crimes
00:07:24.400 and the parents would say,
00:07:25.640 yeah,
00:07:25.820 that's a good system.
00:07:27.280 Fine with us.
00:07:29.360 No,
00:07:30.280 you would not think
00:07:31.500 that was a good system.
00:07:32.460 But that's what our press
00:07:34.360 has turned into.
00:07:36.100 They can literally destroy,
00:07:39.000 well,
00:07:39.340 I would argue
00:07:39.800 that they destroyed
00:07:40.580 the republic.
00:07:41.980 Literally,
00:07:42.640 we don't live
00:07:43.300 in a republic anymore.
00:07:44.720 It's some kind of
00:07:45.380 bullyocracy,
00:07:47.320 cheatocracy,
00:07:48.440 I don't know what it is.
00:07:50.040 But it's not anywhere
00:07:50.940 close to a republic.
00:07:54.380 The fake news
00:07:55.260 pretty much destroyed that.
00:07:57.440 I think we'll get it back,
00:07:58.580 and I'll talk about that
00:07:59.340 in a moment.
00:07:59.720 But at the moment,
00:08:00.680 we don't have a republic.
00:08:02.460 We have something
00:08:03.460 like a zombie republic
00:08:05.180 that has,
00:08:06.440 you know,
00:08:07.240 some outward manifestations
00:08:09.240 of looking like
00:08:10.200 it came from a republic.
00:08:11.720 But we don't have
00:08:12.540 a situation
00:08:13.120 where people vote
00:08:14.880 and the will of the people
00:08:16.060 gets translated
00:08:16.860 into their elected representatives
00:08:19.020 who make decisions
00:08:20.340 on their behalf.
00:08:21.220 Nothing like that's happening.
00:08:23.320 You know,
00:08:23.560 that's how it was
00:08:24.160 drawn up on paper,
00:08:25.300 but we're not living
00:08:26.320 in that system,
00:08:27.140 that's for sure.
00:08:27.720 And imagine this.
00:08:34.800 Imagine this.
00:08:35.960 If the fake news
00:08:37.040 had never told you
00:08:38.200 that half the country
00:08:41.860 were neo-Nazis supporters,
00:08:44.820 let's say neo-Nazis supporters,
00:08:46.540 that's what the news told you
00:08:48.040 for three years.
00:08:50.380 Do you think that had any effect
00:08:52.060 on the divisiveness
00:08:54.440 in the country?
00:08:56.340 Being told for three years
00:08:57.920 that half of us
00:08:58.720 are neo-Nazi supporters,
00:09:01.540 which, by the way,
00:09:02.440 if you're new to my periscope,
00:09:04.280 it's not actually true.
00:09:06.260 Turns out that the number
00:09:07.520 of neo-Nazi supporters
00:09:08.900 is vanishingly small
00:09:11.360 among every population
00:09:13.320 in the United States.
00:09:14.440 But not according
00:09:16.380 to the news.
00:09:17.260 The news told you
00:09:18.200 it was rampant.
00:09:19.780 Must be at least
00:09:20.560 74 million of them.
00:09:23.900 Imagine
00:09:24.420 if the fake news
00:09:26.480 had been credible enough
00:09:28.300 that it didn't destroy
00:09:30.720 your trust
00:09:31.340 in every other institution.
00:09:34.100 Because I would say
00:09:35.180 that when the news fell,
00:09:37.640 and the news has fallen,
00:09:39.040 right,
00:09:39.420 and can't get up,
00:09:40.560 when the news fell
00:09:41.780 and you couldn't trust
00:09:43.860 what you thought
00:09:44.820 would be the gatekeepers
00:09:45.840 of information,
00:09:47.260 when that last thing fell,
00:09:49.860 that kind of took
00:09:51.000 everything with it.
00:09:52.680 Didn't it?
00:09:53.880 Now, maybe you don't
00:09:54.840 process it that way.
00:09:56.000 You're not consciously thinking,
00:09:57.480 oh, if the news is fake,
00:09:59.300 that must mean
00:09:59.840 everything else is fake.
00:10:01.260 But I don't see
00:10:02.400 you can separate those things.
00:10:04.160 Because once you learn
00:10:05.200 that the news
00:10:06.140 is literally made up,
00:10:08.280 what are you going to believe
00:10:09.420 about the news's report
00:10:11.660 about science?
00:10:12.840 What are you going to believe
00:10:14.780 when the news tells you
00:10:16.240 the scientists say
00:10:17.180 this is true?
00:10:18.360 Well, you're not going
00:10:18.980 to believe it.
00:10:19.880 Because you don't really
00:10:21.000 get to see the science.
00:10:23.280 Right?
00:10:24.100 When was the last time
00:10:25.240 you did science?
00:10:27.280 Maybe never.
00:10:29.500 The thing that we think
00:10:30.820 is science is somebody else
00:10:32.160 telling us what the science was.
00:10:33.880 The thing we see
00:10:34.860 is the somebody else.
00:10:36.480 We see a person
00:10:37.360 telling us what they think
00:10:39.680 they saw in the science.
00:10:41.040 We never see science.
00:10:42.400 We see some interpretation
00:10:44.620 of a person who's trying
00:10:46.840 or sometimes not trying
00:10:48.020 to tell you what they saw.
00:10:49.720 Now, if the news
00:10:50.540 can't do that for you
00:10:51.880 or you don't trust it
00:10:53.220 to do that for you,
00:10:54.360 then you also have
00:10:55.280 no information about science.
00:10:58.140 None.
00:10:59.460 You have reports,
00:11:01.440 but it's coming through
00:11:02.660 a mechanism,
00:11:03.960 the fake news,
00:11:05.260 that has no credibility.
00:11:06.340 So, the dumbest fucking
00:11:09.800 people in the world
00:11:10.820 are the ones who say
00:11:12.440 follow the science
00:11:14.260 and it's a good thing
00:11:16.240 I know what the science is
00:11:17.520 because I heard it
00:11:18.980 on the news.
00:11:20.320 That's the dumbest fucking thing
00:11:21.520 you can say in 2020
00:11:22.520 is that you understand science
00:11:25.060 because somebody who doesn't
00:11:26.860 understand science
00:11:27.900 explained science to you.
00:11:30.720 That's all you have
00:11:31.880 is people who don't
00:11:33.280 understand it
00:11:34.120 telling you
00:11:35.340 what they thought
00:11:36.280 they saw,
00:11:37.340 which isn't even close.
00:11:39.760 It's all you got.
00:11:41.440 All right?
00:11:41.960 Now, you didn't really
00:11:43.000 feel that
00:11:43.920 until the gatekeepers
00:11:45.860 collapsed.
00:11:47.180 Right?
00:11:47.740 Until the news
00:11:48.720 became completely
00:11:49.940 undependable
00:11:50.680 as opposed to
00:11:52.120 something that
00:11:52.820 sometimes makes mistakes.
00:11:54.300 then you realized
00:11:56.660 holy crap
00:11:57.900 not only can I not
00:11:59.720 trust the news
00:12:00.740 but they're the only
00:12:02.240 source I have
00:12:03.580 for what science
00:12:05.660 is telling me.
00:12:07.780 So, science is gone.
00:12:09.440 It's just not something
00:12:10.220 you can trust anymore
00:12:11.260 because you don't have
00:12:12.280 any access to it.
00:12:13.500 Now, if you had access
00:12:14.200 to it
00:12:14.740 and you were the kind
00:12:15.920 of person who would be rare
00:12:17.060 who could judge it
00:12:18.500 and you had enough wisdom
00:12:20.400 and you knew the area
00:12:21.880 and you could tell
00:12:22.540 what was missing
00:12:23.280 or maybe what they left out
00:12:25.320 and you could look
00:12:25.880 at the numbers.
00:12:26.580 There are people like that.
00:12:28.240 There are some people
00:12:29.020 who could have
00:12:30.640 a pretty valuable opinion
00:12:32.200 about the quality
00:12:33.960 of some science
00:12:34.820 but you don't know
00:12:36.100 those people.
00:12:37.340 I don't know any.
00:12:39.080 Can your neighbor do that?
00:12:41.020 My neighbor can't.
00:12:42.420 I mean, I haven't checked
00:12:43.200 but I don't think so.
00:12:46.140 So, I'm getting
00:12:47.180 to the good news later.
00:12:48.400 We'll talk about
00:12:49.260 the crazy stuff.
00:12:51.320 So, senior advisors
00:12:53.260 to Biden
00:12:54.140 Simone Sanders.
00:12:56.040 You all know Simone?
00:12:58.420 She's black
00:12:59.620 which is important
00:13:00.340 to the story.
00:13:01.320 Again, I'll remind you
00:13:02.500 I look so forward
00:13:04.400 to the day
00:13:05.100 when no story
00:13:07.080 requires you
00:13:07.980 to know the race
00:13:08.940 of the people involved.
00:13:11.140 Like, if we ever get there
00:13:12.420 where you can just
00:13:12.920 tell the frickin' story
00:13:14.000 and you don't have
00:13:15.300 to throw in
00:13:15.980 somebody's ethnicity
00:13:17.760 because it doesn't matter,
00:13:19.300 that will be a good day.
00:13:20.800 that day
00:13:21.880 has not come
00:13:22.580 because the story
00:13:23.980 requires you to know
00:13:25.020 that Simone Sanders
00:13:26.080 is black
00:13:27.120 because what her quote
00:13:28.340 was on the news
00:13:29.460 in public
00:13:30.700 with no shame
00:13:32.520 said the following thing
00:13:34.920 out loud.
00:13:37.360 She said,
00:13:38.420 we don't need
00:13:38.880 white people
00:13:39.460 running the Democratic Party
00:13:41.080 now.
00:13:42.540 Now, she went on
00:13:43.420 to explain
00:13:44.340 what she meant
00:13:44.980 that it's a party
00:13:46.740 of inclusion
00:13:48.320 and etc.
00:13:50.600 So she wanted
00:13:51.200 to make
00:13:51.560 the Democratic Party
00:13:52.760 look like
00:13:53.380 the country.
00:13:55.680 That part's good.
00:13:57.760 But how does that
00:13:58.480 fit with the sentence
00:13:59.600 we don't need
00:14:01.100 white people
00:14:01.660 running Democratic Party
00:14:02.860 now?
00:14:04.620 You would get
00:14:05.540 fuckin' fired
00:14:06.320 for saying that.
00:14:07.960 Wouldn't you?
00:14:09.320 Now, just
00:14:09.920 replace it
00:14:10.760 with any other
00:14:11.380 ethnicity
00:14:11.860 and you get fired.
00:14:12.860 How does
00:14:14.480 Simone Sanders
00:14:15.300 not get
00:14:16.020 fired
00:14:17.120 within an hour
00:14:19.120 of saying
00:14:19.920 white people
00:14:21.120 shouldn't be running
00:14:21.900 the Democratic Party?
00:14:23.760 How is that
00:14:24.260 even possible?
00:14:26.980 It's because
00:14:27.600 the fake news
00:14:29.020 controls your opinions.
00:14:32.660 If we had
00:14:34.120 independent opinions,
00:14:35.660 we'd look at this
00:14:36.440 and say,
00:14:37.160 well, I'll tell you
00:14:37.780 one thing.
00:14:38.540 This is one person
00:14:39.480 who should not
00:14:40.040 have a job
00:14:40.820 doing anything
00:14:41.580 important.
00:14:42.860 Because she's
00:14:44.220 just a flat-out
00:14:44.900 racist.
00:14:46.260 And she's
00:14:46.980 not hiding it.
00:14:48.420 I'll give her
00:14:49.180 credit for being
00:14:51.000 transparent.
00:14:52.120 She's not hiding
00:14:52.940 her racism
00:14:53.620 even a little bit.
00:14:54.620 She's saying it
00:14:55.140 right out loud
00:14:56.120 in direct words.
00:14:57.400 I think if you
00:14:58.100 asked her to
00:14:58.720 clarify,
00:14:59.960 she would clarify
00:15:00.640 it the same way.
00:15:02.080 Because I don't
00:15:02.760 think there's
00:15:03.180 any embarrassment,
00:15:04.060 there's no pushback.
00:15:05.400 This is exactly
00:15:06.320 what she meant
00:15:07.060 to say,
00:15:08.120 and it has been
00:15:08.820 accepted by
00:15:09.800 CNN and the
00:15:11.660 news.
00:15:12.860 as an
00:15:13.680 acceptable
00:15:14.160 statement by
00:15:15.040 a high
00:15:15.660 official,
00:15:16.780 a high
00:15:17.000 advisor to
00:15:18.160 the president.
00:15:19.120 It's okay.
00:15:20.000 No problem.
00:15:23.880 So,
00:15:24.840 that's shocking.
00:15:26.220 There's a new
00:15:26.980 report on CNN,
00:15:28.060 so you know
00:15:28.480 it's true.
00:15:29.260 It's on CNN.
00:15:30.800 That the,
00:15:31.860 there's been
00:15:32.480 continued government
00:15:33.940 studies of this
00:15:34.980 alleged sonic
00:15:36.440 weapon that
00:15:37.300 allegedly hurt
00:15:38.400 people in
00:15:39.000 various embassies,
00:15:40.100 including Cuba.
00:15:40.720 and now
00:15:42.220 they're saying
00:15:42.720 that they
00:15:43.300 don't believe
00:15:43.800 it was a
00:15:44.400 sonic attack.
00:15:46.360 They believe
00:15:47.280 it more likely
00:15:48.040 was a
00:15:48.560 microwave energy
00:15:49.760 weapon,
00:15:50.540 or at least
00:15:51.840 microwave energy.
00:15:53.220 They haven't
00:15:53.920 identified that
00:15:54.720 it was
00:15:54.960 necessarily a
00:15:55.900 weapon,
00:15:56.640 but they
00:15:57.760 feel confident
00:15:58.880 it was probably
00:15:59.840 microwave energy
00:16:00.880 because,
00:16:01.600 I don't know
00:16:01.920 why,
00:16:02.260 maybe the
00:16:02.640 nature of
00:16:03.820 the damage
00:16:05.540 or something.
00:16:05.960 So,
00:16:08.380 suppose that's
00:16:09.440 true,
00:16:10.240 and I would
00:16:10.660 say the odds
00:16:11.200 of this being
00:16:11.720 true are
00:16:12.720 low.
00:16:14.140 You know,
00:16:14.700 just because it's
00:16:15.320 CNN and it's
00:16:16.360 in this domain
00:16:17.200 of things that
00:16:17.940 we never really
00:16:18.600 know,
00:16:19.260 we'll never
00:16:19.640 really know
00:16:20.080 the truth,
00:16:20.860 et cetera.
00:16:21.580 So,
00:16:21.980 I wouldn't
00:16:22.200 trust this
00:16:24.520 at all.
00:16:25.500 I would put
00:16:25.980 zero credibility
00:16:27.260 on this report,
00:16:29.040 zero,
00:16:29.640 not even a
00:16:30.220 little bit.
00:16:31.140 And the reason
00:16:31.740 is that this
00:16:33.320 is spy stuff.
00:16:34.200 if CNN
00:16:36.100 tells you a
00:16:36.900 story from
00:16:38.340 the government,
00:16:39.400 so remember
00:16:39.780 this was a
00:16:40.320 government study,
00:16:41.760 and the
00:16:42.100 government told
00:16:43.640 CNN that,
00:16:46.280 you know,
00:16:46.760 here's my
00:16:47.240 explanation and
00:16:48.020 there's no
00:16:48.860 spy stuff
00:16:49.580 happening,
00:16:51.020 would you
00:16:51.380 believe it?
00:16:52.360 You shouldn't
00:16:53.560 because the
00:16:54.620 government should
00:16:55.320 not be telling
00:16:55.980 CNN any
00:16:56.920 spy secrets
00:16:57.860 because,
00:16:59.440 let's say we
00:17:00.000 knew what this
00:17:00.920 alleged weapon
00:17:01.880 was,
00:17:02.560 we knew it
00:17:02.940 was a
00:17:03.200 microwave energy
00:17:03.860 or something
00:17:04.180 should they
00:17:05.080 be telling
00:17:05.500 CNN that?
00:17:07.260 I don't know,
00:17:07.880 maybe not.
00:17:09.120 It feels as if
00:17:10.180 they might have
00:17:10.580 looked into it
00:17:11.140 a little bit
00:17:11.520 further before
00:17:12.220 they told
00:17:12.600 CNN.
00:17:16.760 And,
00:17:17.360 so first of
00:17:18.300 all,
00:17:18.480 I doubt that
00:17:19.060 it's a
00:17:19.320 microwave energy
00:17:20.420 weapon,
00:17:21.540 but at least
00:17:22.180 you can't
00:17:22.680 rule that
00:17:23.160 one out.
00:17:24.660 You know,
00:17:24.940 when the
00:17:25.520 sonic attack
00:17:26.200 came,
00:17:26.820 I quite
00:17:27.440 famously
00:17:28.040 and publicly
00:17:28.700 said,
00:17:29.340 this is a
00:17:30.040 bullshit story,
00:17:31.360 someday you
00:17:32.100 will learn
00:17:32.600 there was
00:17:33.200 no secret,
00:17:33.980 the sonic
00:17:34.520 weapon.
00:17:36.080 Well,
00:17:36.700 now that's
00:17:37.180 the government's
00:17:38.260 official story,
00:17:39.500 is that there
00:17:40.140 was no secret
00:17:40.960 sonic weapon,
00:17:42.920 so maybe I
00:17:44.140 got that
00:17:44.520 bar right.
00:17:45.780 But now
00:17:46.460 they're saying,
00:17:47.060 oh,
00:17:47.380 it might have
00:17:47.860 been a
00:17:48.160 microwave energy
00:17:49.060 weapon,
00:17:49.680 might have
00:17:50.240 been a
00:17:50.440 microwave,
00:17:51.440 maybe.
00:17:52.780 So at least
00:17:53.500 we're in the
00:17:54.060 realm of
00:17:54.520 something I
00:17:55.040 could imagine
00:17:55.640 would happen.
00:17:56.840 I mean,
00:17:57.660 it's possible.
00:17:59.120 I can't
00:18:00.060 see a
00:18:00.540 major power
00:18:02.020 doing this
00:18:02.600 and thinking
00:18:03.040 that would
00:18:03.400 be a good
00:18:04.120 risk-reward,
00:18:05.440 you know,
00:18:06.040 attacking an
00:18:06.640 embassy.
00:18:07.480 Imagine if you
00:18:08.300 were a major
00:18:08.820 power,
00:18:10.140 or a country,
00:18:11.000 just a country,
00:18:11.900 and you got
00:18:12.780 caught
00:18:13.360 attacking an
00:18:15.160 embassy.
00:18:16.880 Do you think
00:18:17.660 you'd pay for
00:18:18.200 that?
00:18:19.800 That's about
00:18:20.520 as bad as
00:18:22.280 it gets.
00:18:23.280 If there's
00:18:23.960 any country
00:18:24.560 that thought
00:18:25.040 that was a
00:18:25.460 good risk-reward,
00:18:26.540 take out
00:18:27.640 a couple
00:18:27.940 of diplomats
00:18:28.680 who would
00:18:28.940 be replaced
00:18:29.520 in an
00:18:29.920 hour,
00:18:30.720 and risk
00:18:32.440 losing their
00:18:33.120 whole
00:18:33.520 frickin'
00:18:34.040 country,
00:18:35.040 because if
00:18:35.660 you attacked
00:18:36.220 our embassy,
00:18:36.940 that's an
00:18:37.260 act of war,
00:18:38.020 obviously,
00:18:39.040 and we
00:18:39.780 would retaliate
00:18:40.860 quite aggressively.
00:18:42.740 So I'm
00:18:43.660 not buying
00:18:44.300 the energy
00:18:45.220 weapon,
00:18:46.220 microwave
00:18:46.660 energy
00:18:47.040 weapon,
00:18:47.460 unless it
00:18:49.200 was a
00:18:49.540 freelancer.
00:18:50.920 And even
00:18:51.280 then I'd
00:18:51.720 have to know
00:18:52.300 that a
00:18:53.040 freelancer
00:18:53.500 could build
00:18:54.020 such a
00:18:54.420 thing,
00:18:54.880 maybe.
00:18:56.540 All right,
00:18:57.180 there's a
00:18:57.900 voter fraud
00:18:58.700 map that
00:19:00.720 I tweeted
00:19:01.640 at the
00:19:02.120 Heritage
00:19:02.620 Foundation.
00:19:04.560 So you
00:19:05.160 can click
00:19:06.560 on your
00:19:07.120 state and
00:19:08.600 find out
00:19:09.080 how many
00:19:09.580 prosecuted
00:19:11.060 election
00:19:12.620 frauds have
00:19:13.260 happened.
00:19:14.060 So everybody
00:19:14.840 who thinks
00:19:15.580 election fraud
00:19:16.680 is really
00:19:17.340 rare,
00:19:18.340 or anybody
00:19:18.900 who thinks
00:19:19.460 it's very
00:19:20.080 common,
00:19:21.060 you can go
00:19:21.660 there and
00:19:21.980 you can
00:19:22.220 actually see.
00:19:23.260 So I would
00:19:23.680 say that's a
00:19:24.080 really good
00:19:24.420 source.
00:19:24.740 I assume
00:19:26.380 it's accurate
00:19:27.000 enough for
00:19:27.720 this purpose,
00:19:28.860 but there
00:19:29.820 are lots
00:19:30.180 of examples
00:19:30.780 of election
00:19:31.780 fraud.
00:19:32.780 So here's
00:19:33.360 something we
00:19:33.880 know.
00:19:35.000 If all
00:19:35.700 of those
00:19:36.100 people on
00:19:36.880 that list
00:19:37.480 and all
00:19:38.000 these states
00:19:38.600 and over
00:19:38.980 the years
00:19:39.420 have attempted
00:19:40.680 ballot fraud
00:19:41.900 and got
00:19:43.500 caught,
00:19:44.340 why did
00:19:45.040 they attempt
00:19:45.640 it?
00:19:47.560 Why did
00:19:48.340 so many
00:19:49.640 people attempt
00:19:50.820 stealing an
00:19:52.680 election?
00:19:52.940 well,
00:19:53.320 obviously
00:19:53.660 to win,
00:19:54.580 right?
00:19:55.140 But beyond
00:19:55.800 that,
00:19:56.720 why did
00:19:57.220 they think
00:19:57.660 it would
00:19:57.980 work?
00:19:59.660 Why did
00:20:00.320 all those
00:20:00.900 people who
00:20:01.360 got caught
00:20:02.140 think they
00:20:03.720 could get
00:20:04.140 away with
00:20:04.640 it?
00:20:05.980 I'm just
00:20:06.680 going to
00:20:07.000 speculate now.
00:20:08.620 I think
00:20:09.100 the reason
00:20:09.560 that so
00:20:10.220 many people
00:20:10.760 thought they
00:20:11.260 could get
00:20:11.600 away with
00:20:12.220 rigging an
00:20:12.740 election is
00:20:14.380 because the
00:20:14.900 things they
00:20:15.360 were doing
00:20:15.740 were undetectable
00:20:16.740 without a
00:20:18.280 coincidence.
00:20:19.680 So in
00:20:20.020 other words,
00:20:20.460 there was
00:20:20.660 probably just
00:20:21.620 some weird
00:20:22.100 coincidence or
00:20:23.160 something popped
00:20:25.080 up or
00:20:25.780 somebody
00:20:26.440 narked on
00:20:27.240 somebody.
00:20:28.400 But I have
00:20:28.980 a feeling that
00:20:29.700 the people who
00:20:30.200 did all of
00:20:30.880 those frauds
00:20:31.860 that are
00:20:32.080 listed and
00:20:32.660 have been
00:20:33.100 actually
00:20:33.620 prosecuted
00:20:34.900 for,
00:20:35.880 they had
00:20:36.500 to know
00:20:37.060 that they
00:20:39.060 were doing
00:20:39.420 something that
00:20:40.020 wasn't
00:20:40.340 witnessed.
00:20:41.460 How many
00:20:41.860 of those
00:20:42.080 people did
00:20:42.600 their crime
00:20:43.140 in front of
00:20:43.620 a security
00:20:44.180 camera?
00:20:45.460 Well,
00:20:45.660 I don't
00:20:45.860 know,
00:20:47.000 but I'm
00:20:47.380 guessing
00:20:47.800 nobody?
00:20:49.880 Because
00:20:50.360 wouldn't
00:20:50.680 you know,
00:20:51.380 you'd sort
00:20:51.780 of check
00:20:52.460 for the
00:20:52.780 security
00:20:53.140 cameras,
00:20:53.660 you're not
00:20:53.920 going to
00:20:54.080 do a
00:20:54.360 crime right
00:20:54.840 in front
00:20:55.160 of them.
00:20:56.220 So the
00:20:57.500 fact that
00:20:57.980 there were
00:20:58.220 so many
00:20:58.600 prosecuted
00:20:59.540 election
00:21:00.180 frauds
00:21:00.800 suggests there
00:21:01.640 were probably
00:21:02.120 a lot that
00:21:02.640 weren't
00:21:02.880 prosecuted,
00:21:04.060 and probably
00:21:04.580 the people
00:21:05.000 who tried
00:21:05.560 the crime
00:21:06.240 had a
00:21:07.700 reasonable
00:21:08.360 expectation
00:21:09.920 of getting
00:21:10.420 away with
00:21:10.940 it,
00:21:11.660 which means
00:21:12.360 there are
00:21:12.660 holes in
00:21:13.060 the system.
00:21:13.500 doesn't it
00:21:19.480 feel like
00:21:19.920 politics
00:21:20.540 became a
00:21:21.260 video game?
00:21:23.120 You know,
00:21:23.680 if you play
00:21:24.200 video games
00:21:24.960 long enough,
00:21:25.800 you get
00:21:26.240 used to
00:21:26.900 things happening
00:21:27.700 on the
00:21:28.000 screen,
00:21:28.760 and people
00:21:29.140 are getting
00:21:29.520 hurt,
00:21:30.240 and beating
00:21:31.140 each other
00:21:31.600 up,
00:21:32.060 and it's
00:21:32.300 drama and
00:21:32.920 stuff,
00:21:33.180 but then
00:21:33.480 you just
00:21:33.780 walk away
00:21:34.360 because it
00:21:34.740 was just
00:21:35.040 something on
00:21:35.520 a screen.
00:21:36.740 And the
00:21:37.280 news has
00:21:37.820 become that
00:21:38.360 thing.
00:21:39.100 It's this
00:21:39.460 something on
00:21:40.000 a screen,
00:21:40.660 for most of
00:21:41.200 us,
00:21:41.640 if you're not
00:21:42.080 directly in
00:21:43.120 the riot,
00:21:44.000 or something.
00:21:45.160 And like
00:21:46.520 a video game,
00:21:47.920 we all get
00:21:48.720 to play,
00:21:50.180 weirdly,
00:21:51.040 because if
00:21:51.480 you can
00:21:51.840 tweet or
00:21:52.640 do a
00:21:52.900 social media
00:21:53.360 post,
00:21:54.280 you're playing
00:21:55.200 the game.
00:21:56.700 Maybe you
00:21:57.420 have a
00:21:57.680 small influence,
00:21:58.960 some people
00:21:59.580 have bigger
00:21:59.940 ones.
00:22:00.540 I have a
00:22:01.140 relatively
00:22:01.760 larger influence,
00:22:03.240 bigger audience.
00:22:05.200 But to
00:22:06.000 me, I
00:22:07.080 have to
00:22:07.880 say, I
00:22:08.440 sometimes
00:22:08.960 catch myself
00:22:10.180 playing it
00:22:11.780 like a
00:22:12.200 game.
00:22:13.120 You know
00:22:13.420 what I
00:22:13.620 mean?
00:22:14.240 Do you
00:22:14.400 ever feel
00:22:14.800 it?
00:22:15.480 And maybe
00:22:16.000 even when
00:22:16.340 you watch
00:22:16.740 me, you
00:22:17.240 feel it.
00:22:18.160 That there's
00:22:18.680 something that's
00:22:20.100 entertainment
00:22:20.920 about all
00:22:22.500 of this.
00:22:24.000 It's fun,
00:22:25.680 just like a
00:22:26.260 video game.
00:22:27.260 Except that it
00:22:28.280 has the
00:22:28.840 downside,
00:22:30.220 that it's
00:22:30.580 also real.
00:22:32.220 Because I
00:22:32.580 feel as if
00:22:33.860 the Antifa,
00:22:35.340 the protesters,
00:22:36.160 etc., it's
00:22:37.120 very much like
00:22:37.920 dress-up,
00:22:39.240 entertainment,
00:22:39.860 sort of
00:22:41.360 replacing
00:22:41.840 sports,
00:22:42.780 because there
00:22:43.140 aren't as
00:22:43.360 many sports
00:22:43.980 on TV.
00:22:45.200 It feels
00:22:45.580 very video
00:22:46.200 game-ish.
00:22:46.880 And I
00:22:47.100 think that's
00:22:47.500 to our
00:22:47.820 detriment,
00:22:48.520 because we're
00:22:49.860 dehumanizing each
00:22:51.060 other, and
00:22:51.480 then on top of
00:22:52.100 that, we're
00:22:52.880 wearing masks
00:22:53.760 for a year,
00:22:54.660 we're hiding
00:22:55.300 our faces from
00:22:56.200 each other for
00:22:56.780 a year.
00:22:57.540 The risk of
00:22:58.620 dehumanizing each
00:22:59.920 other is
00:23:00.540 enormous.
00:23:02.240 Now, I
00:23:02.600 haven't seen
00:23:03.100 that become
00:23:04.720 like a world
00:23:05.520 problem yet,
00:23:06.420 but I'd keep
00:23:07.060 an eye on
00:23:07.480 that one.
00:23:09.440 Here's what I
00:23:10.200 think, though,
00:23:11.320 is our
00:23:12.040 solution going
00:23:13.100 forward.
00:23:13.640 In my
00:23:13.940 opinion, the
00:23:14.840 republic is
00:23:17.020 gone, so
00:23:18.480 we don't have
00:23:18.980 to worry
00:23:19.340 about, hey,
00:23:21.020 might we
00:23:21.680 lose the
00:23:22.220 republic?
00:23:22.740 That's gone.
00:23:23.860 And it's
00:23:24.520 gone with
00:23:25.500 certainty,
00:23:26.520 because the
00:23:27.780 ballot counting
00:23:29.400 in key cities
00:23:30.800 were not
00:23:32.780 transparent,
00:23:33.940 and they
00:23:34.580 were not
00:23:34.900 witnessed,
00:23:35.540 and that was
00:23:36.100 done by
00:23:36.500 force.
00:23:37.820 So that's
00:23:38.560 our government.
00:23:39.540 Our government
00:23:40.100 was the
00:23:40.800 force that
00:23:42.500 drove the
00:23:43.140 witnesses out
00:23:43.900 of the office.
00:23:44.400 Our government
00:23:44.780 was not the
00:23:45.400 vote.
00:23:46.380 The government
00:23:46.880 is the
00:23:47.340 force.
00:23:48.220 Because if
00:23:48.760 they could
00:23:49.080 do that,
00:23:50.160 and obviously
00:23:50.720 they got away
00:23:51.340 with it so
00:23:51.900 far, that's
00:23:53.040 the government.
00:23:55.120 Right?
00:23:55.900 I mean, I feel
00:23:56.600 it's fair.
00:23:57.460 That doesn't
00:23:57.940 even feel like
00:23:58.580 a stretch.
00:24:00.000 The government
00:24:00.540 is what
00:24:01.280 happens that
00:24:02.640 creates your
00:24:03.400 leadership.
00:24:04.620 What happened
00:24:05.460 was some
00:24:06.840 force that
00:24:08.080 made the
00:24:08.580 system
00:24:09.120 non-transparent
00:24:10.060 and that
00:24:10.680 caused Biden
00:24:12.040 to get
00:24:12.320 elected.
00:24:12.980 That is
00:24:13.360 your government.
00:24:14.280 I don't
00:24:14.580 know what
00:24:14.780 you'd call
00:24:15.060 that, but
00:24:15.420 it's not a
00:24:15.900 republic or
00:24:16.780 even close.
00:24:17.840 Then on top
00:24:18.420 of that, you
00:24:18.860 had the media
00:24:19.640 influence, the
00:24:20.620 changing of
00:24:21.800 the rules,
00:24:22.640 the political
00:24:23.380 BS.
00:24:26.380 Definitely
00:24:26.780 wasn't a
00:24:27.620 republic, but
00:24:28.600 here's the
00:24:29.040 thing.
00:24:29.280 Could we get
00:24:30.720 it back?
00:24:31.120 Do you
00:24:32.700 want to
00:24:33.060 get it
00:24:33.280 back?
00:24:34.540 Do you
00:24:34.840 even notice?
00:24:36.320 Here you
00:24:36.780 are, here
00:24:38.080 I am, I
00:24:39.500 used to be in
00:24:40.180 a republic, or
00:24:41.160 I thought I
00:24:41.660 was, now
00:24:42.980 I'm not.
00:24:44.300 What's
00:24:44.780 different?
00:24:46.360 What's
00:24:46.820 different?
00:24:47.880 My coffee
00:24:48.560 tasted exactly
00:24:49.440 the same, but
00:24:50.920 I'm not in a
00:24:51.320 republic.
00:24:52.160 So the first
00:24:52.840 thing you need
00:24:53.320 to ask
00:24:53.600 yourself is,
00:24:54.480 does it
00:24:55.380 matter that
00:24:55.860 much?
00:24:56.840 The next
00:24:57.500 thing you
00:24:57.780 need to
00:24:58.020 ask is,
00:24:59.160 how long
00:25:00.060 have we
00:25:00.460 not been
00:25:00.900 in a
00:25:01.200 republic?
00:25:02.200 Because I
00:25:02.740 doubt this
00:25:03.380 was the
00:25:03.800 one election
00:25:04.420 where elections
00:25:05.400 could be
00:25:05.820 stolen.
00:25:07.140 Does that
00:25:07.580 seem likely?
00:25:09.040 If you
00:25:09.740 believe it
00:25:10.180 was stolen
00:25:10.680 this time,
00:25:11.880 would you
00:25:12.260 really believe
00:25:12.840 it never
00:25:13.200 happened
00:25:13.540 before?
00:25:14.820 If it
00:25:15.420 happened
00:25:15.740 this time,
00:25:16.320 it probably
00:25:17.160 at least
00:25:18.100 was attempted
00:25:18.820 every time.
00:25:20.500 It doesn't
00:25:20.920 mean it
00:25:21.160 worked every
00:25:21.600 time.
00:25:21.900 I think
00:25:22.140 Trump
00:25:22.600 might have
00:25:23.000 surprised
00:25:23.380 them with
00:25:24.260 higher votes
00:25:25.320 than they
00:25:26.040 could cheat
00:25:26.520 in time.
00:25:27.780 But you'd
00:25:29.600 have to
00:25:29.840 assume it
00:25:30.200 happened.
00:25:31.340 Here's what
00:25:31.700 I think is
00:25:32.140 the fix.
00:25:34.300 Engineering.
00:25:36.500 Engineering,
00:25:37.620 and in this
00:25:38.080 case I guess
00:25:38.600 re-engineering,
00:25:39.880 is the fix.
00:25:40.900 Let me give
00:25:41.280 you an
00:25:41.480 example.
00:25:42.260 We have a
00:25:42.740 big problem
00:25:43.220 with the
00:25:43.660 vote.
00:25:44.760 Could you
00:25:45.160 engineer a
00:25:46.100 solution that
00:25:47.080 would improve
00:25:47.680 credibility?
00:25:49.460 Yes.
00:25:50.400 Yes.
00:25:50.820 I think
00:25:51.080 MIT has a
00:25:52.060 voting app.
00:25:53.240 I believe
00:25:53.860 it's blockchain
00:25:55.020 based.
00:25:55.540 I haven't
00:25:55.900 looked at
00:25:56.240 it.
00:25:56.420 It's called
00:25:56.620 VOTZ,
00:25:57.240 V-O-T-Z,
00:25:58.080 or something.
00:25:59.300 Now,
00:26:00.380 would we
00:26:01.200 just take
00:26:02.060 one of
00:26:02.320 these apps
00:26:02.800 and just
00:26:03.140 put it
00:26:03.560 into service
00:26:04.300 in the
00:26:05.020 next election?
00:26:05.760 I don't
00:26:06.020 think we
00:26:06.600 were there
00:26:07.080 yet,
00:26:07.740 but we
00:26:08.420 could run
00:26:08.800 it in
00:26:09.140 parallel,
00:26:10.500 find a
00:26:11.620 bunch of
00:26:11.980 voters who
00:26:12.640 are willing
00:26:12.940 to vote
00:26:13.400 in person,
00:26:14.320 and also
00:26:15.000 use the
00:26:15.520 app,
00:26:15.920 and then
00:26:16.120 just see
00:26:16.540 if it's
00:26:16.780 different.
00:26:17.960 Do at
00:26:18.480 least one
00:26:19.820 live
00:26:20.700 test.
00:26:21.800 But,
00:26:23.940 so there
00:26:24.460 is an
00:26:24.680 example
00:26:24.980 where
00:26:25.280 engineers
00:26:26.120 could
00:26:26.940 simply
00:26:27.340 invent
00:26:28.020 stuff
00:26:28.540 that
00:26:29.380 solves
00:26:29.960 a little
00:26:30.440 bit of
00:26:30.740 our
00:26:30.880 problem,
00:26:31.360 not all
00:26:31.680 of it,
00:26:31.900 right?
00:26:32.560 Then what
00:26:33.140 about
00:26:33.500 adding
00:26:34.360 auditability
00:26:36.640 to the
00:26:37.740 rest of
00:26:38.060 the system,
00:26:38.800 you know,
00:26:39.100 because it
00:26:39.440 probably won't
00:26:39.980 be all
00:26:40.440 app.
00:26:40.880 Could we
00:26:41.160 do that?
00:26:41.600 Yeah.
00:26:42.280 We know
00:26:42.700 how to
00:26:42.980 do
00:26:43.160 transparency,
00:26:44.240 et cetera.
00:26:44.500 What about
00:26:45.780 reengineering
00:26:47.040 our
00:26:48.720 government?
00:26:50.160 Well,
00:26:50.700 it looks
00:26:50.900 like that's
00:26:51.360 going to
00:26:51.580 happen,
00:26:52.480 because I
00:26:53.180 would imagine
00:26:53.740 that if
00:26:54.520 things go
00:26:55.040 the way
00:26:55.440 it looks
00:26:55.940 like they're
00:26:56.320 going,
00:26:56.800 which is
00:26:57.240 always a
00:26:58.280 gamble,
00:26:59.300 but if
00:26:59.660 things go
00:27:00.040 the way
00:27:00.380 they should
00:27:01.860 be going,
00:27:03.420 I would
00:27:03.820 expect
00:27:04.160 Republicans
00:27:04.700 will own
00:27:05.520 the Congress
00:27:06.240 and own
00:27:07.060 the entire
00:27:07.500 government
00:27:08.040 in two
00:27:09.000 to four
00:27:09.320 years.
00:27:10.920 That's
00:27:11.360 what I
00:27:11.940 would imagine
00:27:12.620 would happen.
00:27:14.500 What about
00:27:15.660 maybe
00:27:17.980 emptying out
00:27:19.000 the cities
00:27:19.480 and just
00:27:19.980 finding a
00:27:20.540 better way
00:27:20.880 to live?
00:27:22.080 I think
00:27:22.420 that would
00:27:22.680 be good.
00:27:24.260 So if
00:27:25.320 we fix
00:27:25.700 the voting,
00:27:26.320 I think
00:27:26.600 we can
00:27:26.940 fix the
00:27:27.740 republic,
00:27:28.440 but until
00:27:28.880 we do
00:27:29.180 that,
00:27:30.020 we're just
00:27:30.980 not a
00:27:31.340 republic,
00:27:32.020 but we
00:27:32.300 could be
00:27:32.620 one as
00:27:33.720 easily as
00:27:34.440 implementing
00:27:35.060 a reliable
00:27:36.640 technology
00:27:38.020 for voting.
00:27:39.400 So it's
00:27:39.640 not like,
00:27:40.100 it's not
00:27:40.460 even,
00:27:41.160 if you
00:27:41.440 were to
00:27:41.640 look at
00:27:41.960 the history
00:27:43.520 of problems
00:27:44.420 and sort
00:27:45.140 of rank
00:27:45.580 them,
00:27:45.900 like how
00:27:46.300 big is
00:27:46.780 this
00:27:47.000 problem,
00:27:47.940 how big
00:27:48.440 is this
00:27:48.780 problem,
00:27:49.480 well losing
00:27:50.040 the republic
00:27:50.700 sounds like
00:27:52.280 the biggest
00:27:52.700 problem in
00:27:53.260 the world,
00:27:54.480 but probably
00:27:54.940 isn't.
00:27:56.120 It probably
00:27:56.520 isn't.
00:27:57.200 We'll probably
00:27:57.680 just still go
00:27:58.380 to work,
00:27:58.940 the economy
00:27:59.460 is a little
00:27:59.940 bit separated
00:28:00.640 from all
00:28:01.140 of this
00:28:01.440 business.
00:28:02.260 The economy
00:28:02.760 doesn't
00:28:03.140 really care,
00:28:04.600 except interest
00:28:05.580 rates and
00:28:06.240 some stuff
00:28:07.220 like that,
00:28:08.060 but it
00:28:08.480 doesn't care
00:28:08.900 what system
00:28:09.740 created it.
00:28:11.340 So I
00:28:11.840 think the
00:28:12.280 economy will
00:28:13.160 chug along
00:28:13.780 and we'll
00:28:14.360 figure out
00:28:14.800 how to
00:28:15.100 fix the
00:28:15.980 vote and
00:28:17.500 we probably
00:28:18.160 will recover
00:28:18.880 and become
00:28:19.580 a republic.
00:28:20.340 Probably
00:28:20.720 close to
00:28:21.560 100%,
00:28:22.100 I think.
00:28:22.700 Our odds
00:28:23.020 are really
00:28:23.280 good.
00:28:24.340 Here's the
00:28:24.960 funniest thing
00:28:25.680 that's happening
00:28:27.360 now,
00:28:28.100 just to
00:28:28.740 summarize how
00:28:30.340 absurd
00:28:30.940 our current
00:28:32.520 situation is.
00:28:33.500 All right?
00:28:34.940 This is how
00:28:36.000 absurd it is.
00:28:36.700 that President
00:28:40.580 elect Biden
00:28:41.240 is calling
00:28:42.240 for Democrats
00:28:43.080 to unify
00:28:43.960 with the
00:28:44.520 people that
00:28:45.100 Biden
00:28:45.540 calls
00:28:46.720 neo-Nazi
00:28:47.400 supporters.
00:28:49.280 And no
00:28:49.980 one is
00:28:50.320 asking a
00:28:50.900 follow-up
00:28:51.400 question,
00:28:52.560 which is
00:28:52.960 sort of
00:28:53.260 the punch
00:28:53.840 line of
00:28:54.200 it.
00:28:54.340 No one's
00:28:55.080 asking a
00:28:55.560 follow-up
00:28:56.080 question.
00:28:57.720 Don't you
00:28:58.180 think that
00:28:58.960 that deserves
00:28:59.640 a follow-up?
00:29:00.400 As in,
00:29:02.000 why would
00:29:02.520 Democrats
00:29:03.100 want to
00:29:03.700 unify with
00:29:04.920 who Biden
00:29:06.280 believes,
00:29:06.940 and of course
00:29:07.340 he's wrong,
00:29:08.700 but Biden
00:29:09.180 believes,
00:29:09.600 and he's
00:29:09.800 been saying
00:29:10.140 it for a
00:29:10.640 few years
00:29:11.020 now,
00:29:11.940 that Trump
00:29:12.740 supporters
00:29:13.260 are basically
00:29:14.800 neo-Nazi
00:29:15.520 supporters because
00:29:16.420 of Charlottesville,
00:29:17.480 because of the
00:29:17.920 president,
00:29:18.480 etc.
00:29:19.400 So,
00:29:20.080 why would
00:29:21.080 he want
00:29:21.420 to unify
00:29:23.120 with neo-Nazi
00:29:25.280 supporters,
00:29:26.020 according to
00:29:26.500 him?
00:29:27.420 Now,
00:29:27.680 obviously it's
00:29:28.300 not true,
00:29:29.320 but that's
00:29:29.920 what he
00:29:30.240 believes.
00:29:31.220 He sold
00:29:31.820 that to
00:29:32.200 the fucking
00:29:32.760 country.
00:29:34.740 Maybe he
00:29:35.180 needs to
00:29:35.540 live in
00:29:35.860 it.
00:29:36.440 Maybe he
00:29:36.900 should live
00:29:37.520 in the
00:29:38.440 country that
00:29:40.120 he sold
00:29:41.460 to his
00:29:42.000 idiot
00:29:42.460 voters.
00:29:44.720 What he
00:29:45.200 sold was
00:29:45.820 that half
00:29:46.200 the country
00:29:46.720 is
00:29:47.120 irredeemable.
00:29:49.260 Don't ask
00:29:49.820 me to be
00:29:50.240 redeemed.
00:29:52.140 Don't ask
00:29:53.000 me to be
00:29:53.460 redeemed.
00:29:54.360 This is
00:29:54.820 unforgivable.
00:29:56.820 Unity with
00:29:57.800 people that
00:29:58.340 you've smeared
00:29:58.980 as neo-Nazi
00:29:59.920 Nazis for
00:30:00.520 three years
00:30:01.220 just isn't
00:30:02.300 going to
00:30:02.540 happen.
00:30:03.980 I fucking
00:30:04.860 hate his
00:30:05.460 guts.
00:30:06.400 And by the
00:30:06.720 way, I've
00:30:07.020 never said
00:30:07.380 that about
00:30:07.680 a president.
00:30:08.620 I've never
00:30:09.180 said, even
00:30:09.900 if I disagree
00:30:10.680 with the
00:30:11.020 president,
00:30:11.520 don't like
00:30:11.920 their policies,
00:30:13.040 I've never
00:30:13.640 said I hate
00:30:14.320 their guts.
00:30:15.560 But I
00:30:16.000 hate Biden
00:30:16.940 because of
00:30:18.120 this.
00:30:19.820 I mean,
00:30:20.580 this doddering
00:30:21.520 old fool
00:30:22.380 could destroy
00:30:24.920 the whole
00:30:25.240 fucking
00:30:25.520 country just
00:30:26.880 by being
00:30:27.280 an asshole.
00:30:29.640 Now, in
00:30:32.160 other news,
00:30:33.420 here's
00:30:37.120 another one.
00:30:37.880 I love
00:30:38.680 watching Glenn
00:30:39.640 Greenwald dunk
00:30:40.900 on people on
00:30:41.760 Twitter, not
00:30:42.980 only because he's
00:30:44.040 good at it, but
00:30:44.880 because he doesn't
00:30:45.820 call favorites.
00:30:47.600 Like, if Glenn
00:30:48.520 Greenwald thinks
00:30:49.500 you're a bad
00:30:50.000 person, he's
00:30:50.860 going to take
00:30:52.440 you out on
00:30:53.060 Twitter.
00:30:53.300 it doesn't
00:30:54.360 matter what
00:30:54.720 party you
00:30:55.220 are, it
00:30:55.580 doesn't matter
00:30:55.920 anything else.
00:30:56.620 So I always
00:30:57.560 appreciate his
00:30:58.480 consistency and
00:31:00.200 transparency.
00:31:01.040 And by the
00:31:01.360 way, I
00:31:01.660 think he's, I
00:31:02.720 believe he's
00:31:03.220 insulted me on
00:31:04.100 Twitter, some
00:31:05.140 opinion I had
00:31:05.940 at one point.
00:31:06.800 So I don't
00:31:07.320 like him
00:31:07.720 personally, just
00:31:09.920 to be clear.
00:31:10.980 But as a media
00:31:12.180 personality, he's
00:31:13.240 really valuable.
00:31:14.200 So I value him
00:31:16.480 in that sense.
00:31:17.940 So he was
00:31:18.360 talking, he
00:31:18.920 tweeted today about
00:31:19.800 a tweet by Casey
00:31:21.460 Hunt, who works
00:31:22.180 for NBC.
00:31:23.720 And Casey
00:31:24.240 said this about
00:31:25.000 Biden.
00:31:25.400 She said, I'm
00:31:26.520 just struck by
00:31:27.400 the reality that
00:31:28.800 we'll now have a
00:31:29.620 president who, as
00:31:30.720 a rule, doesn't
00:31:32.080 lie, even when it
00:31:33.640 might be easier.
00:31:35.320 And she was
00:31:36.020 referring to the
00:31:38.340 fact that she
00:31:38.900 asked a question
00:31:39.680 or somebody asked
00:31:40.420 Biden a question
00:31:41.240 and he refused to
00:31:42.540 answer it.
00:31:44.260 So a direct
00:31:45.420 response by NBC
00:31:46.960 employee to
00:31:48.980 Biden refusing to
00:31:50.360 answer a very
00:31:51.580 basic question
00:31:52.340 and she's
00:31:54.200 wowed by him
00:31:55.080 because, as
00:31:56.980 a rule, he's
00:31:57.780 not going to
00:31:58.180 lie.
00:31:59.440 So how did
00:32:00.080 Glenn Greenwald
00:32:01.140 take Casey
00:32:02.620 Hunt's fawning
00:32:03.520 opinion that
00:32:04.800 Biden, who
00:32:05.380 just stiffed
00:32:06.100 her for an
00:32:07.080 answer, he
00:32:07.980 just stiffed
00:32:09.700 the press for
00:32:11.380 an easy, simple,
00:32:12.580 direct answer
00:32:13.160 and she's
00:32:15.060 praising him for
00:32:15.760 his transparency.
00:32:17.880 What did
00:32:18.460 Glenn Greenwald
00:32:19.120 say about this?
00:32:19.940 He said, and
00:32:22.120 I quote,
00:32:23.140 aside from the
00:32:23.960 fact that Biden
00:32:24.760 has a long
00:32:25.500 history of
00:32:26.300 pathologically
00:32:27.620 lying, from
00:32:28.960 claiming he
00:32:29.560 marched with
00:32:30.600 Mandela to
00:32:31.700 having to drop
00:32:32.720 out of his
00:32:33.240 first presidential
00:32:34.140 race for
00:32:34.900 serially lying
00:32:36.580 about his
00:32:37.060 background, it's
00:32:38.480 bizarre to see a
00:32:39.320 journalist be
00:32:40.100 grateful for
00:32:40.880 being stonewalled.
00:32:41.960 She was
00:32:46.220 acting grateful
00:32:46.940 for being
00:32:47.420 stonewalled.
00:32:49.020 I mean, you
00:32:51.120 know, I said
00:32:52.360 on Twitter this
00:32:53.000 morning that
00:32:53.540 comedy is
00:32:54.580 dead, right?
00:32:56.120 But this is
00:32:58.500 comedy.
00:32:59.820 How do you
00:33:00.400 read this
00:33:01.260 exchange and
00:33:01.960 not laugh?
00:33:04.200 Comedy can't
00:33:05.180 work on TV or
00:33:06.060 movies anymore
00:33:06.660 because you'll
00:33:07.040 get cancelled
00:33:07.600 if you say
00:33:08.520 stuff, but this
00:33:09.500 is just pure
00:33:10.020 comedy.
00:33:10.360 And I'm
00:33:11.240 not joking
00:33:11.860 when I say
00:33:12.720 that I watch
00:33:13.440 CNN for the
00:33:15.520 laughs, because
00:33:17.080 they'll come up
00:33:17.820 with something
00:33:18.180 that's just so
00:33:18.800 clearly not
00:33:19.580 true, and
00:33:20.860 I'll just
00:33:21.160 laugh.
00:33:22.060 I'll bet
00:33:22.840 people believe
00:33:23.440 that one.
00:33:24.840 And by the
00:33:25.740 way, just to
00:33:26.840 be clear, I
00:33:28.500 think that the
00:33:29.300 news on the
00:33:30.000 right is going
00:33:30.720 to get pretty
00:33:31.320 bad if we
00:33:33.580 end up with
00:33:34.320 a Biden
00:33:34.780 administration.
00:33:36.200 So it's not
00:33:36.740 about the
00:33:37.160 left, exactly.
00:33:39.280 It has more
00:33:39.720 to do with the
00:33:40.200 way the
00:33:40.340 system is
00:33:41.000 designed.
00:33:42.580 All right,
00:33:43.440 here's the
00:33:46.280 story.
00:33:50.200 The chairman
00:33:51.180 of Smartmatic
00:33:53.040 is a guy
00:33:55.000 named Lord
00:33:55.800 Malik Brown,
00:33:57.740 and George
00:33:58.680 Soros just
00:34:01.100 tapped him to
00:34:01.920 lead George
00:34:02.820 Soros' open
00:34:03.820 society organization.
00:34:05.300 Now, I
00:34:09.320 call that
00:34:10.040 ironic, but
00:34:13.140 it turns out
00:34:14.700 that that
00:34:15.020 word ironic
00:34:15.940 is, I'm
00:34:18.080 trying to
00:34:18.380 think if
00:34:18.640 there's any
00:34:19.040 other example
00:34:19.700 in the
00:34:20.260 English language
00:34:21.180 where a word
00:34:22.440 can mean what
00:34:23.120 it means, but
00:34:24.520 it also
00:34:25.040 simultaneously
00:34:25.740 means the
00:34:26.500 opposite of
00:34:27.160 what it
00:34:27.900 means.
00:34:28.240 ironic, so
00:34:29.340 ironic, if
00:34:30.540 you use the
00:34:31.840 real classic
00:34:32.700 historical
00:34:33.680 definition of
00:34:34.440 the word,
00:34:35.600 would be, let
00:34:36.440 me give you an
00:34:36.780 example of
00:34:37.220 something that
00:34:37.580 would be
00:34:37.820 ironic.
00:34:39.140 If you were
00:34:39.880 the strongest
00:34:40.460 man in the
00:34:41.140 world, and
00:34:42.320 you moved
00:34:42.740 into a town
00:34:43.700 that was
00:34:44.580 called
00:34:44.940 Weakville,
00:34:46.400 that would
00:34:47.340 be ironic.
00:34:48.260 You're the
00:34:48.740 strongest man
00:34:49.400 in the world,
00:34:50.520 but you
00:34:50.820 moved into a
00:34:51.440 town called
00:34:51.900 Weakville.
00:34:52.520 Now, what
00:34:53.940 people think
00:34:54.660 the word
00:34:55.680 ironic means
00:34:56.500 is coincidence,
00:34:57.740 which it
00:34:58.140 doesn't.
00:35:00.080 It's a kind
00:35:01.780 of coincidence,
00:35:02.440 but it's a
00:35:02.820 special kind
00:35:03.560 that I just
00:35:04.940 mentioned.
00:35:05.880 What would
00:35:06.280 be just a
00:35:06.860 coincidence would
00:35:08.440 be if the
00:35:08.920 strongest man
00:35:09.640 in the world
00:35:10.180 moved into a
00:35:11.340 town called
00:35:11.920 Strongville.
00:35:13.540 You'd say,
00:35:14.400 oh, that's a
00:35:14.860 coincidence, but
00:35:15.940 it's not ironic
00:35:16.860 because they're
00:35:18.440 both strong.
00:35:20.100 All right, so
00:35:21.220 here's the guy
00:35:21.960 who's the
00:35:23.020 chairman of
00:35:23.860 Smartmatic,
00:35:25.080 the voting
00:35:25.720 software, which
00:35:27.160 the biggest
00:35:27.680 thing in the
00:35:28.280 news right now
00:35:29.000 is that the
00:35:29.780 voting software
00:35:30.460 is not
00:35:31.180 transparent.
00:35:32.420 It can't be
00:35:33.100 audited.
00:35:33.800 We can't see
00:35:34.780 the code.
00:35:35.900 So he's
00:35:36.300 literally the
00:35:36.900 chairman of
00:35:37.700 the most
00:35:38.220 famous for
00:35:39.640 being not
00:35:40.460 transparent company
00:35:41.800 in the news
00:35:43.400 at the moment.
00:35:45.200 And while he's
00:35:45.920 being famous for
00:35:46.800 being the
00:35:47.160 chairman of
00:35:47.680 the least
00:35:48.360 transparent company,
00:35:50.400 company, he
00:35:51.460 got to be the
00:35:52.420 head of the
00:35:53.120 open society.
00:35:56.420 So the least
00:35:57.740 transparent person
00:35:59.080 is the head of
00:36:00.160 the open society.
00:36:02.280 That's ironic
00:36:03.260 because he's the
00:36:05.300 least transparent
00:36:06.160 in the open
00:36:08.080 society.
00:36:09.780 All right.
00:36:10.820 Now, I don't
00:36:11.720 know what to
00:36:12.080 make about this
00:36:12.960 except that
00:36:14.680 obviously you
00:36:15.880 can't use
00:36:16.280 Smartmatic
00:36:16.780 software anymore.
00:36:17.560 obviously.
00:36:20.840 Is that even
00:36:21.780 in question
00:36:23.260 anymore?
00:36:24.820 Is there any
00:36:25.700 smart person
00:36:26.880 who says
00:36:28.700 that we can
00:36:29.400 still use
00:36:29.980 this voting
00:36:30.640 system?
00:36:31.180 Of course
00:36:31.740 not.
00:36:32.880 We're way
00:36:33.480 beyond the
00:36:33.980 point where
00:36:34.380 this is a
00:36:34.920 judgment call.
00:36:36.360 Way beyond
00:36:36.880 that.
00:36:37.860 We're at the
00:36:38.600 point where
00:36:39.580 the only thing
00:36:40.260 you need to
00:36:40.740 know is if
00:36:41.600 the chairman
00:36:42.080 of Smartmatic
00:36:42.960 is working
00:36:44.000 for George
00:36:44.680 Soros,
00:36:45.320 it doesn't
00:36:47.680 matter if
00:36:48.120 George Soros
00:36:48.900 is innocent
00:36:49.900 of everything
00:36:51.160 he's ever
00:36:51.720 been blamed
00:36:52.280 of.
00:36:53.220 It doesn't
00:36:54.040 matter what
00:36:54.560 the base
00:36:55.000 reality is.
00:36:56.940 The United
00:36:57.540 States will
00:36:58.400 not accept
00:36:59.140 an election
00:36:59.820 that they
00:37:01.460 know.
00:37:03.240 The head
00:37:04.240 of the
00:37:04.600 Smartmatic
00:37:05.200 company is
00:37:07.120 also the
00:37:07.940 head of
00:37:08.260 open society.
00:37:09.640 That's not
00:37:10.220 even close
00:37:10.880 to something
00:37:11.420 we'll accept.
00:37:12.640 It's not
00:37:13.260 in the zip
00:37:13.920 code of
00:37:15.080 something
00:37:15.420 Americans
00:37:15.880 will accept.
00:37:17.380 Now,
00:37:17.820 we accepted
00:37:18.480 it up
00:37:18.880 until now
00:37:19.340 because people
00:37:19.860 just weren't
00:37:20.520 aware of
00:37:20.940 any connection.
00:37:21.980 But if we
00:37:22.380 assume this
00:37:22.860 news is
00:37:23.360 true,
00:37:23.800 and I
00:37:24.000 suppose I
00:37:24.400 could find
00:37:24.780 out in
00:37:25.200 ten minutes
00:37:25.680 that it's
00:37:25.980 a fake
00:37:26.260 news,
00:37:26.740 but it
00:37:27.580 was in
00:37:28.080 the news.
00:37:29.080 It was
00:37:29.320 in the
00:37:29.560 news,
00:37:29.940 or it
00:37:30.140 was on
00:37:30.400 social
00:37:30.980 media.
00:37:31.960 But let's
00:37:32.420 assume this
00:37:32.880 is true.
00:37:33.660 It doesn't
00:37:34.360 mean that
00:37:34.880 this Lord
00:37:35.940 Malik is
00:37:36.600 doing anything
00:37:37.220 bad,
00:37:37.780 right?
00:37:38.160 There's no
00:37:38.560 evidence that
00:37:39.120 he did
00:37:39.400 anything bad.
00:37:40.620 And I'm
00:37:40.940 not alleging
00:37:42.400 that he's
00:37:42.800 guilty of
00:37:43.420 anything.
00:37:43.700 I'm just
00:37:45.020 making a
00:37:45.520 very common
00:37:46.180 sense
00:37:46.480 statement
00:37:46.840 that if,
00:37:48.980 let's say,
00:37:50.680 oh,
00:37:51.540 I don't
00:37:51.780 know,
00:37:52.600 Vladimir
00:37:53.120 Putin
00:37:53.680 became the
00:37:55.540 chairman of
00:37:56.420 our voting
00:37:57.720 company's
00:37:58.400 software,
00:37:59.800 would we
00:38:00.660 say,
00:38:01.100 well,
00:38:01.840 there's no
00:38:02.680 evidence that
00:38:04.240 Putin was
00:38:04.860 messing with
00:38:05.440 the software,
00:38:06.160 and we
00:38:06.380 like the
00:38:06.820 software.
00:38:08.100 So,
00:38:08.880 I mean,
00:38:09.200 I think we
00:38:09.640 could get
00:38:10.020 over the
00:38:10.500 fact that
00:38:11.600 the chairman
00:38:12.000 of the
00:38:12.240 company is
00:38:12.740 Vladimir
00:38:13.080 Putin.
00:38:14.560 You know,
00:38:14.900 right?
00:38:16.300 Yeah, we
00:38:16.880 don't have
00:38:17.160 any transparency,
00:38:18.280 and if he
00:38:18.640 did rig the
00:38:19.240 system or
00:38:19.820 he was part
00:38:20.280 of it,
00:38:20.520 we would
00:38:20.840 have no
00:38:21.180 way of
00:38:21.440 knowing.
00:38:23.080 But,
00:38:23.980 again,
00:38:25.620 telling me
00:38:26.540 that Vladimir
00:38:27.220 Putin is
00:38:27.900 using the
00:38:28.380 software to
00:38:28.940 rig the
00:38:29.280 election,
00:38:29.800 do you
00:38:29.960 know what
00:38:30.180 I call
00:38:30.500 that?
00:38:32.060 Baseless.
00:38:33.340 It's
00:38:33.660 baseless.
00:38:35.120 That is
00:38:35.800 baseless.
00:38:36.900 Because there
00:38:37.660 is no
00:38:38.040 evidence that
00:38:39.240 Vladimir Putin
00:38:40.120 allegedly,
00:38:42.440 or not
00:38:42.940 allegedly,
00:38:43.360 but if
00:38:43.860 you could
00:38:44.140 imagine
00:38:44.480 in your
00:38:44.840 mind that
00:38:45.280 he was
00:38:45.560 the chairman
00:38:46.100 of Smart
00:38:46.560 Maddox,
00:38:47.000 which he
00:38:47.280 isn't,
00:38:49.340 would you
00:38:49.880 say that's
00:38:50.300 okay?
00:38:51.760 We can
00:38:52.220 let that
00:38:52.620 stand because
00:38:53.760 there's no
00:38:54.340 evidence of
00:38:55.260 bad behavior?
00:38:57.600 No,
00:38:58.140 of course
00:38:58.580 not.
00:38:59.640 Of course
00:39:00.220 not.
00:39:01.140 So it
00:39:01.720 doesn't matter
00:39:02.520 what Lord
00:39:03.220 Malik Brown
00:39:03.940 has or has
00:39:04.800 not done
00:39:05.400 or might
00:39:05.860 do or
00:39:06.620 could do.
00:39:08.000 None of that
00:39:08.580 matters.
00:39:09.540 None of that
00:39:10.040 is part
00:39:10.340 of the
00:39:10.560 decision.
00:39:11.960 All you
00:39:12.420 need to
00:39:12.760 know is
00:39:13.620 that this
00:39:14.040 setup is
00:39:15.900 unacceptable to
00:39:16.900 Americans.
00:39:17.400 That's it.
00:39:18.300 That's it.
00:39:18.820 That's the
00:39:19.140 end of the
00:39:19.440 story.
00:39:20.780 And Mike
00:39:23.300 Koudre,
00:39:24.920 I don't know
00:39:25.300 how to
00:39:25.500 pronounce his
00:39:25.980 name,
00:39:26.500 Koudre,
00:39:27.480 he's an
00:39:28.120 entrepreneur and
00:39:29.360 activist and
00:39:30.020 he's calling
00:39:30.500 on President
00:39:31.940 Trump to
00:39:33.480 declare that
00:39:34.220 Dominion and
00:39:34.940 Smartmatic are
00:39:35.880 a national
00:39:36.440 security threat.
00:39:37.460 and to
00:39:38.660 do that by
00:39:39.200 executive order
00:39:40.080 and to
00:39:41.160 bar them
00:39:41.680 from every
00:39:42.120 doing business
00:39:42.780 in the
00:39:43.100 United States.
00:39:44.800 And he
00:39:45.200 finishes his
00:39:46.080 tweet by
00:39:46.460 saying we
00:39:46.840 cannot allow
00:39:47.440 foreign
00:39:47.800 companies to
00:39:48.980 control our
00:39:49.800 elections.
00:39:51.160 Now,
00:39:51.980 does anybody
00:39:53.500 have any
00:39:54.520 problem with
00:39:56.840 that?
00:39:57.940 I mean
00:39:58.280 any.
00:39:59.700 Can you
00:40:00.100 think of
00:40:00.600 even as
00:40:02.360 a devil's
00:40:03.860 advocate,
00:40:04.380 if you just
00:40:04.820 wanted to
00:40:05.220 even pretend
00:40:06.120 you were on
00:40:07.480 the other
00:40:07.840 side of
00:40:08.240 that argument
00:40:08.800 that we
00:40:09.900 should ban
00:40:10.500 them by
00:40:11.160 executive
00:40:12.620 decree or
00:40:14.300 what do you
00:40:14.660 call it?
00:40:15.000 Executive
00:40:15.320 order.
00:40:17.940 I don't
00:40:18.860 even know
00:40:19.340 if you
00:40:19.580 could find
00:40:20.000 a Democrat
00:40:20.460 that would
00:40:20.900 disagree with
00:40:21.480 it.
00:40:22.280 Would you?
00:40:23.300 I mean,
00:40:23.600 once you
00:40:23.920 explained it,
00:40:24.760 if you just
00:40:25.280 threw it on
00:40:25.920 somebody,
00:40:26.420 they will
00:40:27.100 just take
00:40:27.780 their sides.
00:40:29.040 But if you
00:40:29.480 actually sat
00:40:30.060 down any
00:40:31.020 Democrat and
00:40:32.920 you said,
00:40:33.440 here's the
00:40:34.040 situation.
00:40:34.540 half of
00:40:36.160 the country
00:40:36.520 doesn't trust
00:40:37.200 these machines.
00:40:38.340 They're not
00:40:39.060 auditable.
00:40:40.560 And we're
00:40:41.260 sending data
00:40:41.880 through foreign
00:40:42.480 countries and
00:40:43.100 it's owned by
00:40:43.560 a foreign
00:40:43.840 country.
00:40:44.680 Is there
00:40:45.260 anything else
00:40:45.780 you need to
00:40:46.240 know about
00:40:48.280 whether we
00:40:48.880 should use
00:40:49.280 these machines?
00:40:49.900 I don't
00:40:50.060 think so.
00:40:51.140 Do you
00:40:51.400 need to
00:40:51.700 know that
00:40:52.240 there's
00:40:53.000 definitely a
00:40:53.720 problem in
00:40:54.380 the 2020
00:40:55.320 election?
00:40:56.240 No.
00:40:57.340 No, you
00:40:57.700 don't need to
00:40:58.160 know that.
00:40:58.740 Do you
00:40:58.920 need to
00:40:59.180 know if
00:40:59.520 the 2020
00:41:01.300 election was
00:41:02.080 perfect?
00:41:03.580 No.
00:41:04.540 It has no
00:41:05.680 bearing on
00:41:06.240 the decision.
00:41:07.580 Nothing that
00:41:08.380 happened this
00:41:09.200 year has
00:41:10.720 any bearing
00:41:11.300 on the
00:41:12.400 fact that
00:41:12.900 it's a
00:41:13.300 situation
00:41:13.900 that is
00:41:15.880 completely
00:41:16.740 insecure.
00:41:18.240 And I
00:41:18.900 don't think
00:41:19.220 anybody's even
00:41:19.900 arguing that.
00:41:21.420 So, of
00:41:22.160 course we
00:41:22.880 should do
00:41:23.260 it as
00:41:24.200 part of
00:41:24.600 homeland
00:41:24.900 security.
00:41:26.720 Of
00:41:27.040 course.
00:41:28.720 Why would
00:41:29.460 we even
00:41:29.940 debate this?
00:41:31.620 And why is
00:41:32.260 the president
00:41:32.700 not doing
00:41:33.340 it already?
00:41:34.760 I would
00:41:35.220 expect him
00:41:35.700 to do
00:41:35.940 it before
00:41:36.240 he leaves
00:41:36.600 office.
00:41:37.720 So, do
00:41:38.000 you think
00:41:38.380 that, which
00:41:40.520 would be
00:41:40.860 fun, because
00:41:42.060 it would
00:41:42.360 require Biden
00:41:43.400 to undo
00:41:44.160 it?
00:41:45.440 Imagine
00:41:45.840 that.
00:41:46.720 Imagine that
00:41:47.440 Biden would
00:41:47.960 have to
00:41:48.380 undo that
00:41:49.240 if he
00:41:49.980 thought it
00:41:50.360 should be
00:41:50.620 undone.
00:41:51.640 That would
00:41:52.280 be pretty
00:41:52.660 awkward,
00:41:53.360 wouldn't it?
00:41:54.380 Because it's
00:41:55.020 one thing to
00:41:55.580 have a
00:41:56.060 situation and
00:41:56.820 maybe you
00:41:57.360 just get
00:41:57.660 used to it
00:41:58.120 or you
00:41:58.320 didn't notice,
00:41:59.100 but the
00:41:59.980 moment that
00:42:00.760 Trump banned
00:42:01.620 them, it
00:42:03.300 becomes a
00:42:03.800 gigantic story
00:42:04.740 if Biden
00:42:05.540 later unbans
00:42:07.420 them.
00:42:08.880 He's got to
00:42:09.520 have a lot
00:42:09.860 of explaining
00:42:10.360 to do.
00:42:11.280 So the
00:42:11.640 president, the
00:42:12.440 current
00:42:12.640 president, has
00:42:14.200 lots of ways
00:42:15.380 to make things
00:42:16.020 interesting for
00:42:16.840 a Biden
00:42:17.940 administration.
00:42:20.760 Let me give
00:42:21.480 you an update
00:42:21.880 on World War
00:42:22.680 Three, which
00:42:23.660 some of you
00:42:25.500 probably don't
00:42:26.060 realize that
00:42:26.760 we're in.
00:42:28.520 Now, you
00:42:29.620 may say to
00:42:30.080 yourself, how
00:42:30.580 could we be
00:42:31.080 in World War
00:42:31.660 Three?
00:42:32.340 Nothing's
00:42:32.780 blowing up.
00:42:34.440 Or at least
00:42:34.960 there's not
00:42:35.460 enough blowing
00:42:36.120 up that it
00:42:36.640 looks like
00:42:37.020 World War
00:42:37.440 Three.
00:42:37.760 Well, here's
00:42:38.320 the thing.
00:42:40.500 Imagine using
00:42:41.300 a nuclear
00:42:41.800 weapon against
00:42:42.560 China or
00:42:43.540 Russia, or
00:42:45.300 vice versa.
00:42:46.660 Will that
00:42:47.160 ever be a
00:42:47.720 good idea?
00:42:48.380 No, no.
00:42:49.560 Imagine China
00:42:51.440 sends its
00:42:52.460 tanks to
00:42:54.440 attack Russia
00:42:55.820 or whatever.
00:42:56.760 Would that
00:42:57.260 ever be a
00:42:58.160 good idea?
00:42:59.200 Nope.
00:43:00.100 Nope.
00:43:00.660 Under no
00:43:01.300 scenario will
00:43:02.960 it ever make
00:43:03.660 sense, you
00:43:05.480 know, if
00:43:05.720 you're being
00:43:06.020 rational, under
00:43:07.660 no scenario
00:43:08.320 will the big
00:43:09.100 countries fight
00:43:10.320 each other
00:43:10.760 directly militarily
00:43:11.920 because it's
00:43:12.820 self-insured
00:43:13.920 destruction.
00:43:16.460 But they
00:43:18.000 can hack
00:43:18.560 each other
00:43:19.020 apparently all
00:43:19.680 day long.
00:43:20.960 They can do
00:43:22.360 propaganda, they
00:43:23.640 can do dirty
00:43:24.260 tricks.
00:43:24.660 as long as
00:43:25.700 it's hard
00:43:26.320 to know
00:43:26.720 who's doing
00:43:27.320 what to
00:43:27.980 whom, there's
00:43:29.320 no limit.
00:43:29.960 Apparently all
00:43:30.520 those limits
00:43:30.980 are off.
00:43:32.260 And those
00:43:32.920 tools, while
00:43:34.140 they used to
00:43:34.800 be strong, but
00:43:36.540 not strong
00:43:37.180 enough to
00:43:37.680 necessarily
00:43:38.380 overthrow the
00:43:39.200 United States,
00:43:40.460 or necessarily
00:43:41.280 overthrow like a
00:43:42.520 major country,
00:43:43.820 they are now.
00:43:45.560 They are now.
00:43:46.760 If you ever
00:43:47.500 believe that
00:43:48.080 those propaganda,
00:43:49.940 persuasion,
00:43:50.800 disinformation,
00:43:51.320 dirty tricks,
00:43:53.140 if you ever
00:43:53.600 thought that
00:43:54.040 they weren't
00:43:54.400 that strong,
00:43:55.640 and maybe
00:43:55.960 they could
00:43:56.320 only work
00:43:56.900 in a third
00:43:58.460 world country,
00:43:59.540 South America,
00:44:00.380 where you're
00:44:00.660 trying to
00:44:01.100 overthrow a
00:44:01.660 third world
00:44:02.080 country, but
00:44:03.080 even then,
00:44:03.880 you probably
00:44:04.320 have to arm
00:44:05.040 the rebels.
00:44:06.480 So even if
00:44:07.400 you're talking
00:44:07.740 about overthrowing
00:44:09.880 some small
00:44:10.440 country, you
00:44:11.280 probably at the
00:44:11.980 very least need
00:44:13.720 to put some
00:44:14.180 weapons in the
00:44:14.900 hands of the
00:44:15.700 people who want
00:44:16.540 to take over.
00:44:17.040 But we're
00:44:18.480 in a world
00:44:19.440 where the
00:44:20.060 power of
00:44:21.940 those tools,
00:44:22.960 the propaganda,
00:44:24.000 misinformation,
00:44:24.840 etc., because
00:44:25.800 you can test
00:44:26.640 it so quickly,
00:44:27.940 okay, we
00:44:28.420 put that
00:44:28.820 out, nope,
00:44:29.740 nobody retweeted
00:44:30.620 it, try again,
00:44:31.680 boop.
00:44:32.320 Because you
00:44:32.960 can rapidly
00:44:33.540 test it, it's
00:44:35.080 gone from
00:44:35.600 something that
00:44:36.220 could maybe
00:44:38.020 take over a
00:44:39.020 country or
00:44:39.500 destroy a
00:44:40.060 country to
00:44:41.340 something that
00:44:41.860 will.
00:44:43.980 All right?
00:44:44.320 It's the
00:44:45.380 question of
00:44:46.980 whether it's
00:44:47.440 strong enough
00:44:47.960 to take down
00:44:48.640 a major
00:44:49.220 power.
00:44:50.320 I think that's
00:44:51.160 really clearly
00:44:52.040 yes at this
00:44:52.780 point.
00:44:53.640 Very, very
00:44:54.600 clearly yes.
00:44:56.280 And you
00:44:56.740 wouldn't need
00:44:57.100 to fire any
00:44:58.180 bullets or
00:44:58.680 drop any
00:44:59.080 bombs.
00:44:59.880 You could
00:45:00.280 just take
00:45:00.720 over.
00:45:01.540 You could
00:45:01.840 destroy their
00:45:02.400 economy with
00:45:03.240 disinformation.
00:45:04.220 You could
00:45:04.440 destroy their
00:45:04.960 system.
00:45:05.420 You could
00:45:05.620 destroy their
00:45:06.140 trust.
00:45:06.860 It looks
00:45:07.180 like that's
00:45:07.580 what's
00:45:07.780 happened.
00:45:09.040 So, although
00:45:10.240 I don't, like
00:45:12.140 you, I don't
00:45:12.840 have the ability
00:45:13.480 to say, oh,
00:45:14.180 that thing
00:45:14.740 happened,
00:45:15.180 because of
00:45:15.800 these dirty
00:45:16.300 tricks, that's
00:45:17.460 how they
00:45:17.740 work.
00:45:18.520 The reason
00:45:18.980 dirty tricks
00:45:19.540 work is you
00:45:20.200 don't know
00:45:20.660 where it
00:45:21.040 came from,
00:45:21.940 and you
00:45:22.580 don't know
00:45:22.960 where this
00:45:23.420 tweet came
00:45:24.180 from, and
00:45:24.840 is this
00:45:25.200 disinformation,
00:45:26.260 and where
00:45:26.980 did that
00:45:27.260 come from?
00:45:27.760 You just
00:45:28.060 don't know.
00:45:29.100 But we
00:45:29.460 do know,
00:45:31.000 and I
00:45:31.460 think we
00:45:31.800 can say
00:45:32.100 this with
00:45:32.620 absolute
00:45:33.200 certainty,
00:45:33.980 that the
00:45:34.680 United States
00:45:35.260 and China
00:45:35.740 are in a
00:45:36.220 hot war,
00:45:37.560 and have
00:45:37.960 been for
00:45:38.300 some time,
00:45:39.160 a hot war
00:45:39.940 of these
00:45:41.060 non-kinetic
00:45:41.940 things, from
00:45:42.800 persuasion to
00:45:43.660 dirty tricks.
00:45:45.020 Likewise, I
00:45:46.380 assume China
00:45:48.080 and Russia are
00:45:48.700 probably fighting
00:45:49.360 it out under
00:45:50.400 the hood where
00:45:51.220 nobody sees
00:45:51.860 it.
00:45:52.540 I imagine
00:45:53.320 Europe is
00:45:54.460 deeply in the
00:45:55.200 war.
00:45:55.580 I imagine
00:45:56.120 every major
00:45:57.380 country is
00:45:58.420 either being
00:45:59.320 affected or
00:46:00.660 is on
00:46:01.300 offense, or
00:46:02.360 both.
00:46:03.540 You know, I
00:46:04.120 assume that
00:46:04.640 we're giving
00:46:05.700 back to China
00:46:06.520 as good as
00:46:07.100 we're getting.
00:46:07.540 we just
00:46:08.600 don't hear
00:46:08.980 about it
00:46:09.320 in the
00:46:09.500 news,
00:46:09.920 because it's
00:46:10.440 spy stuff.
00:46:12.360 So,
00:46:13.740 World War
00:46:14.420 III is
00:46:15.060 raging
00:46:15.840 right now.
00:46:17.220 It's
00:46:17.460 raging.
00:46:19.160 What will
00:46:20.180 protect us?
00:46:23.140 Well,
00:46:23.680 some of it
00:46:24.220 is,
00:46:24.860 you know,
00:46:25.740 a lot of
00:46:26.580 it is
00:46:26.960 adjusting
00:46:27.840 as you
00:46:28.300 go.
00:46:28.740 So,
00:46:29.480 you know,
00:46:29.920 if you're
00:46:30.240 in a war,
00:46:31.040 you can
00:46:31.520 have a
00:46:31.820 plan,
00:46:32.280 but as
00:46:33.620 is famously
00:46:34.340 said,
00:46:34.920 all war
00:46:36.060 plans
00:46:36.520 disappear as
00:46:37.480 soon as
00:46:37.720 the first
00:46:38.080 shots are
00:46:38.780 fired,
00:46:39.480 and then
00:46:39.760 all hell
00:46:40.240 breaks loose.
00:46:41.720 So,
00:46:42.500 I don't
00:46:43.860 know if
00:46:44.120 there's some
00:46:44.460 specific
00:46:45.020 plan that
00:46:46.780 we need
00:46:47.220 to win
00:46:48.280 World War
00:46:48.800 III or
00:46:49.420 to be
00:46:50.120 protected or
00:46:50.640 anything.
00:46:51.340 You know,
00:46:51.860 we'll be
00:46:52.140 adjusting and
00:46:53.020 working on
00:46:54.160 it as we
00:46:54.640 go,
00:46:55.340 but I
00:46:56.200 don't know
00:46:56.560 that it
00:46:56.920 could end.
00:46:59.060 You know,
00:46:59.580 if you have
00:47:00.080 a kinetic
00:47:00.580 war,
00:47:01.020 we know
00:47:02.160 how to
00:47:02.460 end those.
00:47:03.360 We're not
00:47:03.720 good at
00:47:04.180 it,
00:47:04.360 but at
00:47:04.560 least we
00:47:04.800 know how.
00:47:05.900 We end
00:47:06.340 it by
00:47:06.840 it becomes
00:47:07.640 so bad
00:47:08.260 that one
00:47:08.740 side sues
00:47:09.560 for peace,
00:47:10.300 you meet,
00:47:11.120 you sign
00:47:11.520 some documents,
00:47:12.460 you know how
00:47:12.840 to end a
00:47:13.260 real war,
00:47:14.400 you know,
00:47:14.580 the old
00:47:14.840 fashion war,
00:47:15.540 but how do
00:47:15.860 you end
00:47:16.260 a propaganda
00:47:17.480 war?
00:47:19.200 Because
00:47:19.680 you can
00:47:21.040 just say
00:47:21.380 it wasn't
00:47:21.720 us.
00:47:24.020 So,
00:47:24.820 here's why
00:47:25.820 I think
00:47:26.480 that
00:47:27.520 there's a
00:47:28.720 gigantic
00:47:29.160 shift
00:47:29.720 coming
00:47:30.240 and
00:47:31.480 you're
00:47:31.740 probably
00:47:32.000 participating
00:47:32.880 in it
00:47:33.900 right now.
00:47:35.020 The only
00:47:35.760 thing that
00:47:36.240 can protect
00:47:36.960 you
00:47:37.320 is people
00:47:39.220 who are
00:47:39.860 not on
00:47:40.440 the take.
00:47:41.920 That's
00:47:42.240 it.
00:47:44.040 And I
00:47:44.980 think that
00:47:45.360 means
00:47:45.640 independent
00:47:46.320 journalists
00:47:47.500 and independent
00:47:48.600 people
00:47:50.120 who have
00:47:51.640 the benefit
00:47:52.100 of these
00:47:52.520 tools
00:47:52.960 where they
00:47:53.560 can have
00:47:53.860 a big
00:47:54.320 reach,
00:47:55.380 but they
00:47:56.060 can help
00:47:56.520 you sort
00:47:57.120 out
00:47:57.520 what is
00:47:58.640 real from
00:47:59.200 what is
00:47:59.520 not real.
00:48:00.240 Because the
00:48:01.240 news has
00:48:01.900 abandoned
00:48:02.360 that business.
00:48:03.680 They even
00:48:04.100 started a
00:48:04.800 fake fact
00:48:05.640 checking
00:48:05.980 business
00:48:06.920 to really
00:48:08.020 reinforce
00:48:09.900 how not
00:48:11.100 in the
00:48:11.360 business of
00:48:11.920 facts they
00:48:12.460 are.
00:48:13.100 They've
00:48:13.540 all created
00:48:14.240 fake fact
00:48:15.060 checking,
00:48:16.100 which is
00:48:17.360 just amazing
00:48:17.920 to me.
00:48:19.000 And so,
00:48:20.300 you're going
00:48:20.900 to have to
00:48:21.420 rely in the
00:48:22.180 future on
00:48:23.080 people,
00:48:24.000 I'm not
00:48:24.380 going to say
00:48:24.700 me, but
00:48:25.220 people like
00:48:25.840 me, which
00:48:27.020 you can say
00:48:27.740 it doesn't
00:48:28.980 seem like
00:48:29.560 he's getting
00:48:30.540 paid by
00:48:31.020 somebody to
00:48:31.560 do this,
00:48:32.120 he's not
00:48:32.460 working for
00:48:32.940 China, not
00:48:34.560 running for
00:48:35.000 office, not
00:48:36.160 going to
00:48:36.540 run for
00:48:36.860 office, I've
00:48:37.860 got enough
00:48:38.280 money.
00:48:39.280 More money
00:48:39.760 is great,
00:48:41.140 everybody likes
00:48:41.900 more money,
00:48:43.060 but there
00:48:44.900 are some
00:48:45.300 people, there
00:48:46.000 will be your
00:48:47.260 independents,
00:48:50.380 who if they
00:48:51.280 don't become
00:48:52.980 stronger in
00:48:53.940 terms of their
00:48:54.720 messaging and
00:48:55.640 power to
00:48:56.460 dehypnotize
00:48:58.140 you, I
00:48:59.960 guess unhypnotize
00:49:00.880 you, without
00:49:03.060 that I think
00:49:03.720 we're lost.
00:49:05.500 So it seems
00:49:06.020 to me that
00:49:06.760 ensuring that
00:49:07.840 our social
00:49:08.400 media platforms
00:49:10.640 will allow
00:49:11.620 independent
00:49:12.620 voices to
00:49:14.180 continue to
00:49:14.780 be heard
00:49:15.140 everywhere,
00:49:16.400 without that
00:49:17.380 we're in
00:49:17.760 real trouble.
00:49:18.960 But I think
00:49:19.400 we'll be able
00:49:19.800 to maintain
00:49:20.220 that, I
00:49:21.040 think we'll
00:49:21.340 be able to
00:49:21.700 keep that.
00:49:23.300 So that's
00:49:25.020 the way we're
00:49:25.400 going, we
00:49:25.900 need to
00:49:26.540 educate
00:49:27.420 ourselves as
00:49:28.340 voters, I
00:49:29.440 would recommend
00:49:30.060 my own books
00:49:31.260 for that,
00:49:31.920 these two in
00:49:32.640 particular,
00:49:33.560 Winn-Bigley
00:49:34.100 and, no,
00:49:35.720 this one,
00:49:36.180 Loser Think,
00:49:37.320 because the
00:49:38.160 better you are
00:49:38.820 at spotting
00:49:40.220 BS, and
00:49:41.120 that's what
00:49:41.440 both of those
00:49:41.960 books will
00:49:42.360 help you do,
00:49:43.240 spot things
00:49:43.940 that aren't
00:49:44.320 true, but
00:49:45.000 that are being
00:49:45.480 presented as
00:49:46.100 true, you
00:49:48.180 need to build
00:49:49.560 that into your
00:49:50.140 talent stack so
00:49:51.420 that the
00:49:51.920 citizens can
00:49:52.900 take over the
00:49:53.700 country again
00:49:54.680 as we
00:49:56.140 have before.
00:49:58.740 So this
00:49:59.980 is a bit
00:50:00.540 of a 1776,
00:50:02.280 but it's the
00:50:02.800 digital version,
00:50:04.680 meaning that
00:50:05.440 we don't
00:50:09.660 need to
00:50:10.140 form a
00:50:10.780 George
00:50:11.460 Washington
00:50:12.120 militia and
00:50:13.280 attack the
00:50:14.160 armies of
00:50:14.700 another force.
00:50:15.920 We do need
00:50:16.920 to form a
00:50:17.740 digital militia
00:50:19.060 in effect,
00:50:20.720 of people who
00:50:21.480 are hardened
00:50:22.060 against fake
00:50:22.980 news, and
00:50:24.100 can therefore
00:50:24.940 dehypnotize
00:50:26.720 the people who
00:50:27.900 are not
00:50:28.140 hardened against
00:50:29.120 it yet.
00:50:30.660 And then, of
00:50:31.140 course, our
00:50:31.480 technology people
00:50:32.340 need to, as
00:50:33.900 MIT did,
00:50:35.460 coming up with
00:50:36.160 a voting app
00:50:37.020 and other
00:50:37.620 apps to give
00:50:38.220 us transparency,
00:50:39.580 and we can
00:50:41.400 survive this.
00:50:43.760 We will.
00:50:44.840 I think you'll
00:50:45.220 be fine.
00:50:46.460 There are 522
00:50:47.600 deaths cumulative
00:50:49.220 in my county
00:50:50.320 from COVID.
00:50:53.340 522.
00:50:54.220 I don't know
00:50:54.980 any of them,
00:50:56.120 so I'm not
00:50:56.980 aware of
00:50:57.860 anybody in my
00:50:58.540 county,
00:50:59.040 personally,
00:50:59.960 who died of
00:51:00.720 COVID.
00:51:02.400 It's a big
00:51:03.180 county, though,
00:51:03.780 so it includes
00:51:04.460 some metro
00:51:06.080 areas.
00:51:07.380 But that's
00:51:08.480 pretty scary.
00:51:09.080 So I'm in
00:51:09.860 California,
00:51:10.540 and I'm
00:51:11.320 officially
00:51:12.260 locked down.
00:51:13.260 I think today
00:51:13.960 is the beginning
00:51:14.640 of the new
00:51:15.180 lockdown,
00:51:16.160 so I can't
00:51:17.120 eat in a
00:51:18.140 restaurant,
00:51:18.640 even outdoors.
00:51:19.320 I'm not
00:51:20.480 supposed to
00:51:20.920 go anywhere
00:51:21.460 unless it's
00:51:22.220 required,
00:51:23.980 and I don't
00:51:25.320 know how
00:51:25.580 long this
00:51:26.060 lasts.
00:51:27.500 But there's
00:51:28.680 a good chance
00:51:29.180 that I'll
00:51:29.640 start doing
00:51:30.080 some evening
00:51:30.780 broadcasts.
00:51:31.560 I have to
00:51:31.820 see if I
00:51:32.220 can rally
00:51:36.100 for that.
00:51:37.480 But it's
00:51:38.640 going to be
00:51:38.860 a tough few
00:51:40.220 months.
00:51:41.260 The only
00:51:41.520 thing I'm
00:51:42.000 positive of,
00:51:44.060 with no doubt
00:51:44.800 whatsoever,
00:51:46.120 is we'll get
00:51:46.660 through it.
00:51:47.080 that's the
00:51:48.380 weird thing
00:51:48.820 about this
00:51:49.300 pandemic,
00:51:49.920 is it does
00:51:50.520 sort of have
00:51:50.980 a timer
00:51:51.420 on it.
00:51:52.540 We don't
00:51:52.960 know when
00:51:53.220 the timer
00:51:53.680 dings,
00:51:54.320 but the
00:51:55.100 timer is
00:51:55.560 set.
00:51:56.520 We will
00:51:57.080 get past
00:51:57.600 this.
00:51:58.340 We won't
00:51:58.900 all be
00:51:59.380 here to
00:51:59.720 enjoy it,
00:52:00.560 but we
00:52:01.140 will get
00:52:01.480 past it.
00:52:04.380 All right,
00:52:05.080 so in
00:52:06.840 addition to
00:52:07.320 the voting
00:52:07.720 machine stuff,
00:52:08.820 let me
00:52:10.440 reiterate the
00:52:11.440 claims made
00:52:13.060 about Georgia
00:52:13.860 that are
00:52:14.360 not exotic
00:52:15.220 and have
00:52:16.100 not been
00:52:16.660 debunked by
00:52:17.780 anybody as
00:52:18.340 far as I
00:52:18.720 know.
00:52:19.280 2,500
00:52:19.860 felons voting,
00:52:21.760 66,000
00:52:22.820 underage,
00:52:23.700 ineligible
00:52:24.160 people.
00:52:25.160 This is
00:52:25.440 just Georgia
00:52:26.820 allegedly.
00:52:28.400 2,400
00:52:29.300 people not
00:52:30.280 registered,
00:52:31.700 1,000
00:52:32.140 people registered
00:52:33.300 with a
00:52:33.840 P.O.
00:52:34.220 box,
00:52:35.880 5,000
00:52:36.560 people voted
00:52:37.280 after the
00:52:39.620 registration
00:52:40.060 date,
00:52:41.260 10,000
00:52:42.000 who were
00:52:42.540 deceased.
00:52:43.860 Now,
00:52:44.660 do you
00:52:44.940 believe those
00:52:45.400 numbers?
00:52:45.960 Because you
00:52:46.400 probably
00:52:46.640 shouldn't.
00:52:48.020 They're not
00:52:48.940 numbers that
00:52:49.600 are based
00:52:49.940 on somebody
00:52:51.440 counted it
00:52:52.180 up, right?
00:52:53.000 They had
00:52:53.880 proof and
00:52:54.380 they counted
00:52:54.760 it.
00:52:55.200 I believe
00:52:55.720 that these
00:52:56.100 numbers come
00:52:56.700 from the
00:52:57.920 data.
00:52:59.220 In other
00:52:59.600 words,
00:53:00.700 the initial
00:53:01.840 look into
00:53:02.400 the data
00:53:02.900 suggested that
00:53:03.840 these are
00:53:04.380 either true
00:53:05.980 or you
00:53:06.920 definitely
00:53:07.320 ought to
00:53:07.620 look into
00:53:08.040 it.
00:53:08.880 At the
00:53:09.640 very least,
00:53:10.940 you need
00:53:11.360 to look
00:53:11.660 into this
00:53:12.100 stuff.
00:53:12.420 And I
00:53:13.660 believe that
00:53:14.200 this would
00:53:15.060 fall into
00:53:15.580 the category
00:53:16.120 of what I
00:53:16.760 was telling
00:53:17.100 you from
00:53:17.460 the very
00:53:17.840 beginning
00:53:18.220 would be
00:53:19.480 the quote
00:53:20.540 good stuff.
00:53:22.440 So you've
00:53:23.180 never heard
00:53:23.580 from me
00:53:24.120 that the
00:53:25.300 voting machine
00:53:26.200 criticisms
00:53:27.620 were the
00:53:28.200 good stuff.
00:53:29.200 You've never
00:53:29.800 heard from me
00:53:30.580 that the
00:53:31.520 video of
00:53:32.600 somebody
00:53:32.940 allegedly doing
00:53:33.720 something during
00:53:34.300 the ballot
00:53:34.640 counting,
00:53:35.420 you've never
00:53:35.940 heard me say
00:53:36.580 that that's
00:53:37.020 the good
00:53:37.360 stuff.
00:53:37.700 this was
00:53:38.960 the good
00:53:39.280 stuff.
00:53:41.240 If it's
00:53:41.840 good enough,
00:53:43.080 I suppose
00:53:43.500 we'll know
00:53:44.300 someday.
00:53:45.800 We'll see.
00:53:47.400 Walmart's
00:53:47.840 selling some
00:53:48.340 home COVID
00:53:49.060 tests, but
00:53:49.640 you still have
00:53:50.040 to send
00:53:50.560 them in.
00:53:51.680 But maybe
00:53:52.200 this is a
00:53:52.980 big deal.
00:53:53.560 If you
00:53:53.780 could find
00:53:54.200 out if
00:53:55.160 you had
00:53:55.640 coronavirus
00:53:56.820 within two
00:53:57.740 days, maybe
00:53:59.660 that makes
00:54:00.100 a difference,
00:54:00.720 but you have
00:54:01.240 to get to
00:54:01.580 the point
00:54:01.880 where people
00:54:02.300 can do it
00:54:02.820 without sending
00:54:03.440 it away to
00:54:03.900 a lab.
00:54:04.340 But at
00:54:05.800 least Walmart's
00:54:06.640 making a
00:54:07.680 difference, so
00:54:08.200 good for
00:54:08.580 Walmart,
00:54:09.840 stepping up.
00:54:11.800 Appreciate
00:54:12.280 that.
00:54:13.440 All right.
00:54:14.620 That is
00:54:17.620 what I wanted
00:54:18.040 to say for
00:54:18.500 today.
00:54:21.860 Do you
00:54:22.520 have any
00:54:23.120 questions?
00:54:24.900 Is there
00:54:25.380 anything you'd
00:54:25.840 like to know?
00:54:27.920 Somebody says
00:54:28.640 we'll be a
00:54:29.140 country of
00:54:29.580 oligarchs and
00:54:30.500 welfare groups.
00:54:32.040 Yeah, you
00:54:32.320 know, one of
00:54:32.800 the things that
00:54:33.580 I mentioned
00:54:34.440 this before.
00:54:35.720 Historically,
00:54:36.320 there's this
00:54:36.880 cycle.
00:54:37.720 I don't know
00:54:38.040 if this is
00:54:38.500 the fourth
00:54:39.040 turning or
00:54:40.360 if it's
00:54:40.680 just a
00:54:41.300 cycle.
00:54:42.740 But apparently
00:54:43.320 when a
00:54:44.360 civilization such
00:54:45.420 as the United
00:54:46.320 States becomes
00:54:47.200 very successful,
00:54:48.500 then there's
00:54:48.920 this income
00:54:50.020 inequality that
00:54:50.980 happens and
00:54:51.640 then everything
00:54:52.160 goes to hell.
00:54:53.680 Now, that's
00:54:54.060 historically that
00:54:55.640 happens sort
00:54:57.060 of close to
00:54:57.740 all the time.
00:54:59.140 Will that
00:54:59.620 happen now?
00:55:00.800 Here's my
00:55:01.780 optimism on
00:55:02.640 that.
00:55:02.940 I say no.
00:55:04.900 Because the
00:55:06.080 prehistory, let
00:55:08.780 me say it
00:55:09.300 clearer, the
00:55:10.980 history of the
00:55:11.620 world before the
00:55:12.440 Internet just
00:55:13.620 can't look like
00:55:14.740 the history of
00:55:15.460 the world after
00:55:16.040 the Internet.
00:55:17.160 There isn't
00:55:17.880 any way that
00:55:19.080 those should look
00:55:19.760 similar.
00:55:21.480 So I can
00:55:23.820 certainly see how
00:55:24.620 a civilization that
00:55:25.660 did not have
00:55:26.480 instant and good
00:55:28.000 communication could
00:55:29.920 fall apart in a
00:55:31.880 number of ways.
00:55:33.560 But we have
00:55:34.920 this, because of
00:55:35.860 our communication
00:55:36.640 being so good
00:55:37.500 now, we're a
00:55:40.140 little bit self
00:55:40.940 healing.
00:55:41.800 If you look at
00:55:42.520 how our economy
00:55:43.360 can recover from
00:55:44.300 just about anything
00:55:45.140 now, if you took
00:55:47.140 the economy of the
00:55:47.900 United States and
00:55:48.640 go back to
00:55:49.300 pre-internet days,
00:55:50.960 one good punch and
00:55:53.220 you got the
00:55:53.580 Great Depression.
00:55:55.240 It's just one
00:55:55.820 punch, boom,
00:55:57.200 depression.
00:55:57.600 But at the
00:55:59.380 moment, because
00:56:00.560 we're so much
00:56:01.160 smarter about what
00:56:02.040 to tweak and
00:56:02.800 when to tweak it
00:56:03.680 and how much to
00:56:04.360 tweak it and
00:56:05.340 everybody can
00:56:06.000 communicate and
00:56:06.920 get on the same
00:56:07.520 page and all of
00:56:09.800 that stuff, I
00:56:11.280 think we're in a
00:56:12.060 world where we
00:56:14.020 can just re-engineer
00:56:15.020 when we need to
00:56:15.700 and we need to.
00:56:17.640 So we're in
00:56:18.440 exactly a point
00:56:19.460 when our
00:56:21.060 commuting
00:56:23.840 patterns are
00:56:24.620 changing, the
00:56:25.240 way we eat, the
00:56:26.280 way we entertain
00:56:26.920 is changing,
00:56:28.260 healthcare is
00:56:29.000 completely changing,
00:56:30.480 the cities will
00:56:31.200 probably, who
00:56:32.860 knows what's
00:56:33.280 going to happen
00:56:33.580 to the cities,
00:56:34.320 but you have all
00:56:35.000 this change
00:56:36.980 happening and
00:56:37.800 all of it
00:56:38.340 requires re-engineering.
00:56:41.560 So if you have
00:56:42.520 a world which is
00:56:44.160 now connected
00:56:46.180 by the internet
00:56:47.000 and we could all
00:56:48.380 sort of work as
00:56:49.460 one, that's a
00:56:51.000 really different
00:56:51.560 situation.
00:56:52.400 Let me give you
00:56:52.880 just the smallest
00:56:54.500 example.
00:56:55.160 Just the
00:56:56.420 smallest example.
00:56:58.200 And some of
00:56:58.840 you saw this
00:56:59.340 in real time.
00:57:01.260 So in the
00:57:01.720 spring when the
00:57:02.280 coronavirus came
00:57:03.020 out, the
00:57:04.680 president was
00:57:05.860 looking for
00:57:06.720 people to
00:57:08.440 suggest, what
00:57:09.980 should we do
00:57:10.780 that isn't
00:57:11.940 already obvious?
00:57:13.300 Are there other
00:57:13.900 things that the
00:57:14.940 administration should
00:57:15.760 be doing?
00:57:16.540 Now one of the
00:57:17.160 most phenomenal
00:57:18.220 things I've ever
00:57:19.120 seen in my life,
00:57:20.080 I mean really
00:57:20.560 just like goosebump
00:57:22.520 kind of stuff,
00:57:23.780 is that lots
00:57:25.840 of people
00:57:26.240 responded to
00:57:27.040 that.
00:57:28.100 Just ordinary
00:57:29.120 smart citizens
00:57:30.440 who said, I've
00:57:32.220 got an idea,
00:57:33.580 I'll bet you
00:57:34.020 didn't think
00:57:34.440 about this
00:57:34.860 one, submitted
00:57:36.260 it to people
00:57:36.960 who they knew
00:57:37.740 could get that
00:57:38.420 information to
00:57:39.220 the administration
00:57:39.820 and I watched
00:57:41.600 it happen in
00:57:42.340 minutes.
00:57:43.900 As in somebody
00:57:44.740 would send me
00:57:45.380 an idea that I
00:57:46.640 thought was
00:57:47.000 worthy enough
00:57:47.740 that the
00:57:48.780 administration
00:57:49.180 should see it,
00:57:50.020 I would send
00:57:51.080 it to my
00:57:52.220 closest contact
00:57:53.220 that could make
00:57:53.820 that happen
00:57:54.360 and I would
00:57:55.360 sometimes hear
00:57:56.100 within minutes
00:57:57.940 that the
00:57:59.940 chief of staff
00:58:00.940 had just looked
00:58:01.900 at it and
00:58:02.800 had a comment.
00:58:04.600 In minutes
00:58:05.380 that was
00:58:06.480 happening.
00:58:07.220 And it didn't
00:58:07.680 happen once,
00:58:09.260 this was a
00:58:10.280 system that
00:58:10.860 just sort of
00:58:11.660 spontaneously
00:58:12.420 grew up
00:58:13.720 and did that.
00:58:16.000 Now one of
00:58:16.500 the things that
00:58:17.000 I sent in
00:58:17.740 as a suggestion
00:58:19.080 was to
00:58:20.560 get rid of
00:58:22.000 the limitations
00:58:22.940 on telehealth
00:58:24.160 across state
00:58:25.580 lines.
00:58:26.260 Because we
00:58:26.860 had this
00:58:27.160 ridiculous
00:58:27.720 situation
00:58:28.400 that you
00:58:29.200 couldn't talk
00:58:29.700 to a doctor
00:58:30.320 who practiced
00:58:31.680 in another
00:58:32.180 state
00:58:32.640 on the phone.
00:58:35.280 How crazy
00:58:36.200 is that?
00:58:37.080 Now that was
00:58:37.720 a perfect
00:58:38.020 example.
00:58:38.780 The administration
00:58:39.520 if they had
00:58:40.480 not been
00:58:41.180 prompted
00:58:42.320 by a member
00:58:43.640 of the public
00:58:44.220 in this case
00:58:44.860 it was just
00:58:45.700 something I
00:58:46.640 had this weird
00:58:47.200 knowledge about.
00:58:47.920 if I had
00:58:49.560 not sent
00:58:50.080 that was
00:58:51.360 it going
00:58:51.600 to happen?
00:58:53.120 Maybe.
00:58:54.420 Maybe.
00:58:55.140 But I don't
00:58:55.580 know that.
00:58:56.760 I'm just
00:58:57.040 using it as
00:58:57.580 an example
00:58:58.140 of how
00:58:59.340 this mass
00:59:00.260 communication
00:59:01.060 that we
00:59:01.440 have allows
00:59:02.460 you to
00:59:02.960 quickly adjust
00:59:03.940 to even
00:59:04.800 something as
00:59:05.320 big as a
00:59:05.740 pandemic in
00:59:06.480 a way that
00:59:07.080 you couldn't
00:59:07.600 have even
00:59:07.900 imagined before.
00:59:09.340 I mean you
00:59:09.680 can really
00:59:10.260 get a lot
00:59:11.660 done when
00:59:12.100 you're connected.
00:59:13.180 So in my
00:59:13.680 opinion the
00:59:14.200 economy doesn't
00:59:15.440 have the same
00:59:16.060 risk of shock
00:59:17.020 it used to
00:59:17.580 have because
00:59:18.500 we have more
00:59:18.940 information better
00:59:19.640 communication and
00:59:20.920 also the
00:59:21.960 system itself
00:59:23.240 doesn't have
00:59:24.420 that risk
00:59:24.920 anymore.
00:59:26.240 So I would
00:59:27.060 say that the
00:59:28.240 internet makes
00:59:29.140 all of our
00:59:29.740 history sort
00:59:32.020 of non-predictive
00:59:32.880 anymore.
00:59:34.040 And that's the
00:59:34.480 good news.
00:59:35.340 All right.
00:59:37.240 Yeah Biden
00:59:37.740 somebody says
00:59:38.640 Biden keeps
00:59:39.360 saying he's
00:59:39.880 going to
00:59:40.520 control that
00:59:41.200 virus but he
00:59:41.780 doesn't say
00:59:42.200 how.
00:59:42.820 Well he did
00:59:43.240 say he was
00:59:43.720 going to ask
00:59:45.140 for a hundred
00:59:45.920 days of
00:59:46.540 mask wearing
00:59:47.260 a mandate.
00:59:49.900 Will that
00:59:50.520 make a
00:59:50.840 difference?
00:59:51.940 I don't
00:59:52.580 know.
00:59:54.640 How do we
00:59:55.320 deprogram people
00:59:56.400 we know?
00:59:57.300 A proven
00:59:57.740 protocol.
00:59:58.660 Now a lot
00:59:59.100 of people have
00:59:59.500 asked me this
00:59:59.940 because people
01:00:01.320 want to
01:00:01.840 deprogram their
01:00:02.640 spouses and I
01:00:04.440 want to help
01:00:05.200 you on that but
01:00:05.960 here's the
01:00:06.580 obstacle.
01:00:08.600 If you're
01:00:11.200 trying to
01:00:11.620 deprogram one
01:00:12.880 person as
01:00:14.320 opposed to
01:00:15.040 just things
01:00:15.660 you spray
01:00:16.160 into the
01:00:16.980 social media
01:00:17.540 but if you're
01:00:18.320 working with
01:00:18.780 one person
01:00:19.460 here's the
01:00:20.200 hypnotist's
01:00:21.860 rule and
01:00:23.380 this is why
01:00:23.860 it's hard for
01:00:24.400 me to give
01:00:24.760 you this
01:00:25.040 advice in
01:00:25.720 this medium.
01:00:26.600 If you're
01:00:27.200 working with
01:00:27.660 one person
01:00:28.320 and trying to
01:00:29.060 hypnotize them
01:00:30.060 or persuade
01:00:30.660 them or
01:00:31.100 anything in
01:00:31.680 that domain
01:00:32.200 the biggest
01:00:33.620 part of the
01:00:34.160 technique is
01:00:35.580 the observation.
01:00:38.140 So you try
01:00:38.740 something that
01:00:39.840 works you know
01:00:40.740 generically and
01:00:41.820 you see if that
01:00:42.400 worked for
01:00:42.840 this individual.
01:00:44.120 If it does
01:00:44.780 work you do
01:00:45.620 more of that.
01:00:46.980 If it doesn't
01:00:47.660 work you say
01:00:48.560 well better try
01:00:49.340 something else.
01:00:50.560 So without that
01:00:51.520 iterative part of
01:00:52.560 the process you
01:00:53.800 know you standing
01:00:54.540 with your spouse
01:00:55.380 and you can
01:00:56.600 iterate in all
01:00:58.160 the right ways
01:00:58.920 I can't give you
01:01:00.480 like the kill
01:01:01.140 shot say just
01:01:03.460 go to your
01:01:03.820 spouse and say
01:01:04.540 this sentence
01:01:05.220 and that'll
01:01:05.920 reprogram.
01:01:06.800 So that doesn't
01:01:07.600 work.
01:01:08.560 It's sort of a
01:01:09.720 lengthy process of
01:01:10.960 iteration etc.
01:01:11.960 That said
01:01:13.940 there are
01:01:14.960 some things
01:01:15.540 which are
01:01:15.880 better than
01:01:16.360 other things.
01:01:17.640 So I would
01:01:18.620 attack whatever
01:01:19.640 is their
01:01:20.260 strongest point
01:01:22.300 that they're
01:01:23.060 married to.
01:01:25.020 So rather than
01:01:25.780 go through all
01:01:26.480 of the things
01:01:26.920 that they believe
01:01:27.640 just find that
01:01:28.840 one thing
01:01:29.620 that they're
01:01:30.760 sure is true
01:01:31.780 and see if you
01:01:33.500 can convince them
01:01:34.520 on just one
01:01:35.740 thing that
01:01:37.040 something they
01:01:37.620 thought was
01:01:38.020 both true
01:01:38.820 and important
01:01:39.720 isn't true.
01:01:43.000 It would be
01:01:43.780 important if it
01:01:44.300 were true but
01:01:44.820 it isn't true.
01:01:47.020 So do that
01:01:47.840 because what
01:01:49.500 that does is
01:01:50.440 it allows people
01:01:51.280 to change their
01:01:52.120 own mind.
01:01:53.240 If you attack
01:01:54.140 all of their
01:01:54.900 belief as a
01:01:56.320 whole like
01:01:57.540 Democrats are
01:01:58.620 bad,
01:01:59.720 socialism,
01:02:01.220 then that's
01:02:01.640 no good.
01:02:03.000 That has no
01:02:03.920 impact at all.
01:02:05.580 You've got to
01:02:06.960 find a weakness
01:02:08.880 or a specific
01:02:10.200 target.
01:02:11.220 Target that
01:02:11.840 thing for
01:02:13.120 destruction,
01:02:14.000 a belief.
01:02:15.340 If you have
01:02:16.440 a belief that's
01:02:17.420 really core
01:02:18.260 to your whole
01:02:19.700 package,
01:02:20.540 the rest of it
01:02:21.860 doesn't necessarily
01:02:22.440 fall apart
01:02:23.040 automatically,
01:02:24.280 but the rest
01:02:25.600 of it you
01:02:26.000 believed in
01:02:27.380 the same way
01:02:28.440 that you were
01:02:29.520 certain about
01:02:30.100 the thing that
01:02:30.620 just got
01:02:30.980 debunked.
01:02:32.160 So if you
01:02:32.780 can take out
01:02:33.320 somebody's
01:02:33.880 strongest belief
01:02:34.960 then they
01:02:36.900 can sometimes
01:02:37.580 talk themselves
01:02:38.480 out of the
01:02:38.920 rest.
01:02:41.080 So that's
01:02:41.940 a little bit
01:02:42.560 of a technique,
01:02:43.640 but like I
01:02:44.120 said, I would
01:02:44.620 not expect you
01:02:45.380 to go forth
01:02:46.500 and immediately
01:02:47.520 deprogram your
01:02:48.520 spouse.
01:02:49.420 It's sort of
01:02:50.120 an interactive
01:02:50.760 long-scale
01:02:51.940 kind of a thing
01:02:52.860 and frankly
01:02:53.920 doesn't even
01:02:55.080 work for most
01:02:56.300 people no matter
01:02:56.960 how hard you
01:02:57.500 try.
01:02:59.540 Scott, how
01:03:00.240 about the
01:03:00.560 11-year-old
01:03:01.260 killing himself
01:03:02.060 on Zoom?
01:03:02.840 I do not
01:03:04.480 know about
01:03:04.920 that story,
01:03:05.660 but that
01:03:06.060 might be
01:03:06.580 just about
01:03:07.280 the most
01:03:07.680 horrible thing
01:03:08.280 I've ever
01:03:08.640 heard in
01:03:09.180 my whole
01:03:09.700 life.
01:03:11.380 That's
01:03:11.900 really bad.
01:03:18.340 Taste of
01:03:19.100 Armageddon,
01:03:19.700 yeah,
01:03:19.940 Star Trek.
01:03:23.080 Okay, just
01:03:23.900 looking at your
01:03:24.380 comments here
01:03:25.360 now on both
01:03:26.300 YouTube and
01:03:27.220 Periscope.
01:03:28.500 Do you see
01:03:32.900 a state
01:03:33.380 reversing after
01:03:34.280 signature
01:03:35.000 verification?
01:03:36.320 Well, let me
01:03:37.060 reiterate my
01:03:38.460 prediction.
01:03:40.120 I believe that
01:03:41.080 history will
01:03:42.200 confidently say
01:03:44.320 someday,
01:03:46.220 not anywhere,
01:03:47.220 maybe not this
01:03:47.920 year, maybe
01:03:49.040 not next year,
01:03:49.940 but I believe
01:03:50.460 history will
01:03:51.140 eventually come
01:03:51.980 to believe that
01:03:52.660 the election
01:03:53.080 went to Trump
01:03:54.380 and he didn't
01:03:55.520 get the job
01:03:56.240 because the
01:03:57.680 fake media
01:03:58.940 is so strong
01:04:00.000 they can just
01:04:01.240 say Biden
01:04:01.800 got the job
01:04:02.660 and everybody
01:04:03.400 will act like
01:04:04.380 it was real.
01:04:06.020 Now, if you
01:04:06.520 don't think
01:04:06.860 that's real,
01:04:08.700 you might be
01:04:09.580 surprised.
01:04:11.140 The media
01:04:11.620 can simply
01:04:12.400 tell you that
01:04:13.080 a thing
01:04:13.700 didn't happen
01:04:14.340 and 60%
01:04:17.120 of the country
01:04:17.640 is going to
01:04:18.040 act like
01:04:18.580 it didn't
01:04:19.180 happen.
01:04:20.460 That's the
01:04:20.900 world we're
01:04:21.300 in now.
01:04:22.340 So that's
01:04:22.940 like an
01:04:23.480 amazing power
01:04:24.360 that I don't
01:04:24.840 know if they
01:04:25.220 always had
01:04:25.640 before,
01:04:26.120 but anyway,
01:04:28.320 somebody says
01:04:29.140 the hydroxychloroquine
01:04:31.160 Zelenko study
01:04:32.060 shows that it
01:04:33.160 has worked
01:04:33.920 all along.
01:04:35.000 Well,
01:04:35.860 there is a
01:04:37.460 retrospective
01:04:38.220 study that's
01:04:39.880 newish that
01:04:41.220 is very strong
01:04:42.480 evidence that
01:04:43.100 the hydroxychloroquine
01:04:44.120 with the azithromycin
01:04:45.200 and with the zinc
01:04:46.160 as Zelenko
01:04:48.000 describes it
01:04:49.040 works,
01:04:50.840 but it's a
01:04:51.940 retrospective.
01:04:53.460 How much
01:04:54.060 should you
01:04:54.540 believe
01:04:55.140 retrospective
01:04:57.420 studies?
01:04:59.160 In the comments,
01:05:00.520 show me how
01:05:01.200 smart you are.
01:05:02.740 How much
01:05:03.240 credibility
01:05:03.860 should you
01:05:04.420 put in a
01:05:05.160 retrospective
01:05:06.200 study?
01:05:08.300 Let me
01:05:09.060 answer it
01:05:09.460 this way.
01:05:10.500 Do you
01:05:10.900 know why
01:05:11.680 randomized
01:05:12.940 controlled
01:05:13.880 studies were
01:05:14.960 invented?
01:05:16.060 the reason
01:05:17.860 science
01:05:18.580 prefers randomized
01:05:20.020 controlled
01:05:20.340 studies is
01:05:22.320 because,
01:05:23.020 wait for
01:05:23.660 it,
01:05:24.220 wait for
01:05:24.740 it,
01:05:26.160 retrospective
01:05:26.940 studies are
01:05:27.940 not credible.
01:05:29.460 They're useful,
01:05:31.220 but they're not
01:05:32.080 credible.
01:05:34.260 Does that make
01:05:35.140 sense?
01:05:36.120 Things can be
01:05:36.900 wrong,
01:05:38.220 no,
01:05:38.540 let me put it
01:05:39.060 another way.
01:05:39.820 Things can be
01:05:40.700 not credible,
01:05:42.180 but very,
01:05:43.000 very useful.
01:05:44.780 So if you
01:05:45.560 look at a
01:05:45.920 retrospective
01:05:46.660 study,
01:05:47.460 and it
01:05:47.820 says very
01:05:48.380 clearly
01:05:48.980 hydroxychloroquine
01:05:50.880 worked in
01:05:52.540 the past,
01:05:53.660 that doesn't
01:05:54.920 tell you it
01:05:55.500 works.
01:05:56.280 And if you
01:05:56.680 get fooled
01:05:57.260 into thinking
01:05:57.900 that's what it
01:05:58.540 told you,
01:05:59.540 well then you
01:06:00.100 don't understand
01:06:01.020 science.
01:06:03.340 Because the
01:06:03.940 whole point of
01:06:04.540 science is to
01:06:05.820 save you from
01:06:07.740 exactly this
01:06:08.840 kind of mistake.
01:06:09.720 science was
01:06:11.980 invented,
01:06:12.800 so you
01:06:13.560 didn't think
01:06:14.240 retrospective
01:06:15.200 studies were
01:06:15.900 science.
01:06:17.140 You know,
01:06:17.460 you could be
01:06:17.920 easily fooled.
01:06:19.180 Now,
01:06:19.480 so here's the
01:06:20.020 point.
01:06:20.500 If the
01:06:20.980 retrospective
01:06:21.740 study shows
01:06:22.380 that something
01:06:22.840 looks solid,
01:06:24.220 the credibility
01:06:25.020 you should give
01:06:25.820 it is zero,
01:06:27.500 but certainly
01:06:28.400 enough credibility
01:06:29.280 to do a
01:06:30.400 controlled study
01:06:31.620 if you can do
01:06:32.200 it.
01:06:32.900 Now on top
01:06:33.560 of that,
01:06:34.480 let's say it
01:06:35.100 was impossible
01:06:35.860 to do a
01:06:37.500 controlled study,
01:06:38.300 randomized
01:06:39.300 controlled study,
01:06:40.300 or let's say
01:06:41.120 you don't have
01:06:41.540 enough time.
01:06:43.240 If you don't
01:06:43.980 have the time,
01:06:45.800 or it's just
01:06:46.560 not possible
01:06:47.260 some way,
01:06:48.300 then I would
01:06:48.940 look at the,
01:06:49.760 I would definitely
01:06:50.560 look at the
01:06:51.080 retrospective
01:06:51.820 study,
01:06:52.660 and I would
01:06:53.360 say,
01:06:53.760 well,
01:06:54.260 I hate
01:06:55.180 doing this,
01:06:56.340 but it's all
01:06:57.700 I have.
01:06:58.500 Now at that
01:06:59.020 point,
01:06:59.760 then it becomes
01:07:00.360 a risk
01:07:00.820 management
01:07:01.380 decision.
01:07:01.980 It's not
01:07:02.240 really about
01:07:02.620 science,
01:07:03.540 it's risk
01:07:04.120 management.
01:07:04.700 And you say
01:07:05.020 to yourself,
01:07:05.860 all right,
01:07:06.120 if I'm wrong,
01:07:07.360 and I take
01:07:07.860 these meds,
01:07:09.300 and they're
01:07:10.080 not what
01:07:10.620 the retrospective
01:07:11.580 study says,
01:07:12.700 am I going
01:07:13.440 to die?
01:07:14.620 And the answer
01:07:15.100 is,
01:07:15.600 nope,
01:07:16.740 they're really
01:07:17.360 safe.
01:07:18.440 So as a
01:07:19.400 risk management
01:07:20.040 decision,
01:07:20.720 if your
01:07:21.120 retrospective
01:07:21.920 study is
01:07:22.620 as strong
01:07:23.340 as what
01:07:24.440 Dr. Zelenko
01:07:25.340 says is the
01:07:27.300 case for
01:07:27.880 the latest
01:07:28.520 information,
01:07:29.560 if you don't
01:07:30.400 have any
01:07:30.780 other information
01:07:31.520 and you
01:07:31.940 can't get
01:07:32.680 it in
01:07:33.760 time,
01:07:35.660 I would
01:07:36.080 say you're
01:07:36.440 not crazy
01:07:36.980 to use
01:07:37.320 that as
01:07:37.820 a decision
01:07:38.700 making
01:07:39.180 thing,
01:07:40.040 but do
01:07:40.500 it as a
01:07:40.860 risk management,
01:07:42.040 not because
01:07:42.640 you think
01:07:43.060 science told
01:07:43.780 you it was
01:07:44.120 real.
01:07:45.780 All right.
01:07:49.260 I was once
01:07:50.240 on a randomized
01:07:51.660 controlled study
01:07:53.340 in my 20s.
01:07:54.780 I decided to
01:07:55.720 take one for
01:07:56.720 science,
01:07:57.420 and I ended
01:07:59.700 up being on
01:08:00.120 the placebo,
01:08:00.940 so that was
01:08:01.420 a lot of
01:08:02.180 wasted time.
01:08:02.820 somebody says
01:08:06.700 stop using
01:08:07.300 retrospective,
01:08:08.480 all studies
01:08:09.100 are retrospective.
01:08:10.320 Oh,
01:08:10.540 okay.
01:08:11.020 If you want
01:08:11.660 to be
01:08:11.900 pedantic,
01:08:13.200 all studies
01:08:14.020 are about
01:08:14.520 something that
01:08:15.080 already happened.
01:08:16.100 That's sort
01:08:16.960 of the point,
01:08:17.520 right?
01:08:18.000 If you're
01:08:18.620 done with
01:08:18.940 the study,
01:08:19.880 it's about
01:08:20.300 something that
01:08:20.780 already happened.
01:08:21.400 It's the
01:08:21.740 randomized control
01:08:22.660 part that is
01:08:23.460 the important
01:08:23.860 part, I think
01:08:24.420 you're telling
01:08:24.780 me.
01:08:29.260 Somebody says,
01:08:30.160 I was in a
01:08:30.660 few.
01:08:31.420 Oh,
01:08:31.760 cool.
01:08:34.720 And LSD
01:08:35.660 study?
01:08:36.260 No, I wish.
01:08:37.660 Well, of course,
01:08:38.440 if I were in
01:08:39.440 an LSD study,
01:08:40.620 you can't do
01:08:41.960 a placebo for
01:08:42.760 that one.
01:08:44.140 Can you?
01:08:44.760 There's no way
01:08:45.340 to do a placebo
01:08:46.060 for an LSD
01:08:46.880 study, is there?
01:08:52.400 Does the
01:08:53.020 Senate hold?
01:08:54.840 This is really
01:08:55.820 interesting.
01:08:56.940 If you go by
01:08:57.900 the pollsters,
01:08:59.300 they're saying
01:09:00.020 that the
01:09:00.420 Republicans
01:09:00.920 should hold,
01:09:02.200 but of course
01:09:02.640 it's a weird
01:09:03.200 year, so
01:09:03.720 anything can
01:09:04.200 happen.
01:09:05.160 But I get
01:09:06.660 back to
01:09:07.060 this.
01:09:08.780 If elections
01:09:09.720 are being
01:09:10.520 massively stolen,
01:09:12.220 it's going to
01:09:13.140 happen again.
01:09:14.940 How much
01:09:15.640 transparency do
01:09:16.660 you think there
01:09:17.160 will be in
01:09:17.620 the ballot
01:09:18.020 counting?
01:09:19.700 If you had
01:09:20.400 to guess,
01:09:22.040 move your
01:09:22.940 mind into the
01:09:23.600 future a little
01:09:24.160 bit, and it's
01:09:24.700 after the
01:09:25.480 Senate special
01:09:26.320 election, and
01:09:27.480 we know who
01:09:28.980 got the most
01:09:29.560 votes allegedly,
01:09:31.060 after this
01:09:32.380 election, are
01:09:33.740 you going to
01:09:34.260 be saying to
01:09:34.880 yourself that
01:09:36.760 there were
01:09:37.080 not witnesses,
01:09:38.580 sufficient witnesses
01:09:40.220 in the right
01:09:40.820 places at the
01:09:41.500 right times to
01:09:42.560 actually watch
01:09:43.400 the election?
01:09:44.900 Are you going
01:09:46.340 to say to
01:09:46.720 yourself,
01:09:48.000 that looked
01:09:48.780 good?
01:09:50.940 I feel as
01:09:52.000 if they got
01:09:54.060 away with
01:09:54.740 chasing witnesses
01:09:55.780 this way, why
01:09:57.100 wouldn't they
01:09:57.760 do it again?
01:09:59.700 Can anybody
01:10:00.620 give me any
01:10:02.180 reasoning where
01:10:05.020 if you assume
01:10:06.460 that election
01:10:07.520 stealing is
01:10:08.520 possible and
01:10:10.320 that it
01:10:10.620 happened, give
01:10:12.380 me one reason
01:10:13.160 they wouldn't
01:10:13.580 do it again?
01:10:15.100 Now, if you're
01:10:15.660 saying to
01:10:16.000 yourself, well,
01:10:16.620 Scott, they're
01:10:17.220 going to be
01:10:17.540 looking pretty
01:10:18.240 closely now.
01:10:19.880 I mean, maybe
01:10:20.720 caught a soft
01:10:21.700 guard last time,
01:10:22.440 but this time
01:10:23.080 they're really
01:10:23.960 going to be
01:10:24.300 looking closely.
01:10:26.060 What evidence
01:10:26.860 do you have
01:10:27.720 that we will
01:10:29.280 look closely
01:10:29.980 at this election,
01:10:31.020 the ballot
01:10:31.580 counting or
01:10:32.180 any part of
01:10:32.620 it?
01:10:33.080 What would
01:10:33.640 suggest that
01:10:35.180 we'll do it?
01:10:36.320 Because do
01:10:37.500 you know what
01:10:37.980 people intended
01:10:39.000 to do in the
01:10:40.180 general election?
01:10:41.760 There were, I
01:10:43.100 don't know what
01:10:43.420 the number is,
01:10:44.000 but let's say
01:10:44.580 tens of
01:10:46.040 thousands of
01:10:46.840 witnesses and
01:10:47.620 volunteers,
01:10:48.940 hundreds of
01:10:49.480 thousands, I
01:10:49.940 don't know what's
01:10:50.400 the number,
01:10:50.780 tens of
01:10:51.120 thousands at
01:10:51.620 least.
01:10:52.440 Were there
01:10:52.920 not tens of
01:10:54.200 thousands of
01:10:54.820 people who
01:10:56.080 woke up the
01:10:56.840 morning of
01:10:57.280 election day
01:10:57.940 and believed
01:10:59.280 that they were
01:11:00.540 going to do
01:11:01.380 something called
01:11:02.000 witnessing the
01:11:02.820 vote counting?
01:11:04.320 They all
01:11:05.020 thought it was
01:11:05.600 a thing, and
01:11:07.140 it wasn't.
01:11:08.680 Not only did
01:11:09.520 it not happen,
01:11:10.740 it turned out
01:11:11.440 it wasn't much
01:11:12.580 of a thing,
01:11:14.160 that even if
01:11:14.880 they had been
01:11:15.540 allowed to do
01:11:16.100 whatever they
01:11:16.500 were going to
01:11:16.860 do, they
01:11:17.740 couldn't see
01:11:18.160 everything that
01:11:18.700 needed to be
01:11:19.200 seen to
01:11:20.340 eliminate the
01:11:21.560 risk.
01:11:22.920 So, you
01:11:26.480 know, if
01:11:26.900 tens of
01:11:27.880 thousands of
01:11:28.440 people thought
01:11:29.260 they were
01:11:29.720 going to be
01:11:30.100 witnesses and
01:11:30.860 then they
01:11:31.220 weren't, why
01:11:32.780 would that be
01:11:33.240 different for
01:11:33.700 this election?
01:11:35.020 I can't think
01:11:35.780 of a reason,
01:11:36.400 can you?
01:11:37.340 Because I
01:11:37.880 think all they
01:11:38.320 have to do is
01:11:38.940 make sure there
01:11:39.460 are no
01:11:39.760 witnesses,
01:11:40.620 again, which
01:11:42.420 looks trivial,
01:11:44.220 this looks
01:11:44.580 pretty easy, and
01:11:46.360 they own the
01:11:47.480 country.
01:11:47.780 history, that
01:11:48.740 the stakes are
01:11:50.260 through the
01:11:50.840 roof, and
01:11:52.980 they just got
01:11:53.600 away with it
01:11:54.140 days ago,
01:11:55.300 allegedly, right?
01:11:56.800 So, under the
01:11:57.600 assumption that
01:11:59.060 they did get
01:11:59.800 away with it in
01:12:00.620 the general
01:12:01.040 election, of
01:12:02.720 course it's
01:12:03.260 going to happen
01:12:03.640 again.
01:12:04.280 I don't know
01:12:04.760 how it could
01:12:05.180 not, of
01:12:05.980 course.
01:12:07.900 All right.
01:12:10.160 They could not
01:12:10.960 witness the
01:12:11.500 envelopes, yeah,
01:12:12.320 that's right.
01:12:12.880 They thought
01:12:13.260 they would be
01:12:13.740 witnesses, but
01:12:14.480 indeed they were
01:12:15.460 not.
01:12:17.100 So, that's
01:12:19.900 all for now.
01:12:20.780 I will talk
01:12:21.380 to you tomorrow.
01:12:25.960 And you
01:12:26.860 YouTube people,
01:12:27.840 let's see if you
01:12:28.280 have any exciting
01:12:29.900 questions here
01:12:30.580 before I sign
01:12:31.840 off.
01:12:34.680 20,000 lawyers
01:12:36.180 at, that's an
01:12:38.380 idea.
01:12:40.100 Oh my goodness,
01:12:41.340 that's a good
01:12:41.860 idea.
01:12:43.420 Let me just
01:12:44.140 toss out this
01:12:44.860 idea.
01:12:45.700 It's not
01:12:46.220 mine.
01:12:46.620 I'm seeing
01:12:46.960 it in the
01:12:47.500 comments.
01:12:49.000 Let me just
01:12:49.360 toss it down.
01:12:51.300 100% of the
01:12:52.440 witnesses have
01:12:54.300 to be
01:12:54.880 attorneys.
01:12:58.100 Just think
01:12:58.720 about that.
01:12:59.920 Suppose you
01:13:00.940 just make this
01:13:01.480 one change.
01:13:03.100 I don't know,
01:13:03.420 it's maybe too
01:13:04.000 late for any
01:13:04.480 of this.
01:13:05.280 Yeah, it's
01:13:05.500 probably too
01:13:05.940 late.
01:13:06.860 But suppose
01:13:07.800 Georgia just
01:13:08.760 said, look,
01:13:09.300 we're going to
01:13:09.680 try something
01:13:10.360 because we
01:13:11.060 have this issue
01:13:12.320 about witnesses
01:13:13.000 and we want to
01:13:13.660 be credible.
01:13:14.160 For this
01:13:15.780 election, 100%
01:13:18.080 of the
01:13:18.660 witnesses, not
01:13:20.740 the counters,
01:13:22.280 the counters will
01:13:22.980 be just the
01:13:23.500 normal people, but
01:13:24.480 the witnesses have
01:13:26.260 to be attorneys.
01:13:26.920 Do you know
01:13:28.760 why?
01:13:29.900 Can you imagine
01:13:31.020 trying to chase a
01:13:32.960 room full of
01:13:33.480 attorneys out of
01:13:34.260 a room?
01:13:35.580 Good luck.
01:13:37.620 Attorneys are
01:13:38.560 sharks.
01:13:38.960 What happened
01:13:41.040 was mild-mannered
01:13:43.180 good patriots
01:13:44.480 and citizens,
01:13:46.300 the average
01:13:47.300 person who's
01:13:47.980 just salt of
01:13:48.860 the earth,
01:13:49.320 just wants to
01:13:49.940 help, wants
01:13:51.260 nothing except
01:13:52.020 a good election,
01:13:52.960 just good
01:13:54.060 people.
01:13:55.120 We're sending
01:13:56.020 our ordinary
01:13:57.220 good people
01:13:58.100 into battle
01:13:59.740 and they got
01:14:01.180 creamed
01:14:01.620 because it
01:14:03.120 wasn't a
01:14:04.080 fair fight.
01:14:04.960 The bullies
01:14:07.120 just had more
01:14:08.880 firepower.
01:14:10.400 Now imagine
01:14:12.160 that all of
01:14:12.700 those just
01:14:13.200 ordinary good
01:14:14.060 people who
01:14:14.740 just have
01:14:15.100 good intentions
01:14:15.700 are replaced
01:14:16.620 by professional
01:14:19.240 actually working
01:14:20.660 attorneys.
01:14:21.960 Do they get
01:14:22.880 bullied out of
01:14:23.480 the room?
01:14:24.580 Nope.
01:14:25.920 No, they do
01:14:26.740 not.
01:14:27.800 Now, attorneys
01:14:29.060 do not get
01:14:30.440 bullied out of
01:14:31.000 the room and
01:14:31.460 if they do,
01:14:32.060 none of those
01:14:33.720 votes are going
01:14:34.160 to count.
01:14:35.500 None of those
01:14:36.280 votes are going
01:14:36.720 to count if
01:14:37.740 you kick a
01:14:38.260 bunch of
01:14:38.560 attorneys who
01:14:40.200 are witnessing
01:14:40.740 it out of
01:14:41.520 the room.
01:14:42.160 If you have a
01:14:42.940 bunch of
01:14:43.260 attorneys witnessing
01:14:44.140 it, do you
01:14:44.700 get the blonde
01:14:45.760 lady with the
01:14:46.480 big blonde hair
01:14:47.320 and people are
01:14:49.240 feeling maybe
01:14:50.580 that she's not
01:14:51.360 as credible?
01:14:52.100 Nope.
01:14:53.000 No.
01:14:53.520 Attorneys by
01:14:55.640 their job are
01:14:57.300 just a little
01:14:57.920 more credible
01:14:58.560 than the average
01:14:59.300 person, so at
01:15:00.060 least it helps
01:15:00.660 there.
01:15:01.560 Now, of
01:15:01.880 course, you'd
01:15:02.200 have maybe
01:15:02.660 attorneys on
01:15:03.260 both sides.
01:15:03.940 You've got that
01:15:04.360 problem, but I
01:15:07.120 would throw an
01:15:07.680 attorney in
01:15:08.220 there.
01:15:09.020 I wouldn't let
01:15:10.100 any witnesses
01:15:11.300 have no
01:15:12.620 attorneys with
01:15:13.620 them in the
01:15:14.100 room.
01:15:14.680 Maybe they
01:15:15.200 don't all have
01:15:15.740 to be attorneys,
01:15:16.500 but they
01:15:17.400 certainly ought
01:15:18.500 to have one.
01:15:20.020 And again, I
01:15:20.680 don't mean that
01:15:21.460 the attorney will
01:15:22.160 use some legal
01:15:23.600 trick to avoid
01:15:25.440 problems.
01:15:26.200 I'm saying that
01:15:27.040 an attorney doesn't
01:15:28.840 back down because
01:15:30.360 it's just sort of
01:15:31.100 built into the
01:15:31.860 framework of what
01:15:33.240 they do for a
01:15:33.760 living.
01:15:34.620 If your attorney
01:15:36.280 backs down,
01:15:37.860 that's a pretty
01:15:38.380 bad attorney.
01:15:40.380 So not backing
01:15:41.220 down is sort of
01:15:42.020 built into the
01:15:43.180 model.
01:15:43.980 All right, that's
01:15:44.360 all I've got for
01:15:44.760 now.
01:15:45.120 That's actually an
01:15:45.700 interesting idea.
01:15:46.600 I like that.
01:15:48.040 Bye for now.
01:15:48.620 Bye for now.
01:15:49.380 Bye for now.
01:15:51.160 Bye.
01:15:53.380 Bye.
01:15:56.100 Bye.
01:15:56.840 Bye.
01:16:01.600 Bye.
01:16:10.440 Bye.
01:16:10.780 Bye.
01:16:11.480 Bye.
01:16:11.740 Bye.
01:16:12.140 Bye.
01:16:12.840 Bye.
