Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1214 Scott Adams： Fang Fang, Hunter Biden, Rapid Testing, CNN Versus Trump

00:00:00.000 boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom hey everybody come on in come on in i just realized

00:00:11.140 what time it is do you know what time it is that's right it's time for coffee with scott

00:00:16.580 adams the best time of the day there was this one time that i thought it wouldn't be the

00:00:22.040 best time of the day but then i was wrong and it was so learn from history will you

00:00:29.100 because it repeats in this particular way and only this way.

00:00:33.640 This is the best time of the day,

00:00:35.000 and it'll be better if you have a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:37.820 a tank or chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:40.160 a vessel of any kind.

00:00:43.040 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:45.340 I like coffee.

00:00:47.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day,

00:00:50.540 the thing that makes everything better

00:00:53.060 except Representative Swalwell.

00:00:56.780 It's called the simultaneous symptom and goes down.

00:00:59.100 Join me.

00:01:03.840 Well, that makes everything better.

00:01:08.640 Everything.

00:01:10.000 Let me tell you what is the biggest delight,

00:01:13.960 completely unexpected,

00:01:16.320 about President Trump's probable change of careers, it looks like.

00:01:24.700 You know, I was sort of saying to myself,

00:01:26.980 I sure would enjoy another four years of being entertained by President Trump,

00:01:31.540 but there is a consolation prize.

00:01:34.720 There's a consolation prize.

00:01:36.580 And it is that making fun of Democrats is sort of fun.

00:01:41.880 It's a little bit better than I was hoping.

00:01:45.400 And a lot of it has to do with the material they're serving up.

00:01:50.240 Now, I'm going to say that President Trump did serve up some good material himself for his critics.

00:01:57.220 I think he'll have the best four years of any president.

00:02:01.340 But he did serve up a lot of red meat for the critics.

00:02:06.080 Turns out that the Democrats are just as good serving up the good stuff.

00:02:12.480 Shall we dig in?

00:02:13.400 Yeah, we shall.

00:02:17.360 So, it turns out that Hunter Biden might be in a little trouble.

00:02:24.180 And when I say he's in a little trouble,

00:02:27.460 there are, within the category of what you might call financial crimes,

00:02:33.800 there are a lot of categories.

00:02:34.960 So, you might have your tax-related financial crimes, potentially.

00:02:41.180 Somebody might be laundering a little money.

00:02:43.560 That would be a financial crime.

00:02:46.120 Maybe, let's see, maybe you were,

00:02:50.460 let's see, what are some other financial crimes?

00:02:54.320 Oh, having foreign ties.

00:02:55.860 Well, you know, I suppose if there was a financial connection,

00:02:58.940 that'd be a financial thing, too.

00:03:00.860 So, it turns out that Hunter Biden has been accused of all financial crimes,

00:03:07.720 simultaneously.

00:03:10.440 Like, if it were a financial crime,

00:03:13.320 somebody's looking into it on old Hunter Biden.

00:03:16.660 I'm only exaggerating a little bit.

00:03:18.660 But the point is that we're learning after the election

00:03:22.120 that he's in massive trouble from securities fraud.

00:03:28.080 There's a securities fraud unit looking into it.

00:03:30.200 It doesn't mean that's the crime.

00:03:32.260 So, we don't know the exact allegations.

00:03:35.020 I will defend Hunter Biden the following way.

00:03:39.400 Number one, Hunter Biden is an attorney.

00:03:43.500 If he set up a business situation that is transparently illegal,

00:03:50.680 I'd be a little bit surprised.

00:03:53.540 I mean, it's not impossible.

00:03:55.400 But he's a lawyer, and he works with lawyers.

00:03:58.080 It's hard to believe that he's set up a situation

00:04:01.060 that would be both easy to discover and just flat-out illegal.

00:04:06.400 So, I don't know that these allegations will turn into anything.

00:04:11.780 How many times have we seen allegations not turn into anything?

00:04:16.540 It's a pretty common thing, right?

00:04:18.920 So, I don't want to be the one who says Hunter Biden is guilty of anything.

00:04:23.200 Anything at all.

00:04:25.180 You know, obviously, the swampy behavior is apparently technically legal.

00:04:32.220 So, we're pretty sure he was involved with swampy stuff.

00:04:36.780 But in terms of actually breaking the law, there's nothing in evidence.

00:04:40.100 So, I'm going to treat it that way.

00:04:41.240 There's nothing in evidence.

00:04:42.260 And it's the type of investigations that we do see

00:04:46.080 when people are ultimately not charged.

00:04:49.680 But there are a lot of them.

00:04:51.940 There's a lot of smoke here.

00:04:53.960 I'm telling you that I can't see the fire,

00:04:57.040 but there's a lot of smoke.

00:04:59.560 So, use your judgment.

00:05:00.720 The big part of the story, of course,

00:05:03.920 is that this was completely squashed as a story before the election.

00:05:09.160 And I was just tweeting a difference

00:05:12.600 between how Politico treated it right before the election

00:05:15.520 versus how they're treating it now.

00:05:17.660 Now, Politico is, you know, dumping out all the allegations.

00:05:22.080 Before then, they actually ran a major story on Politico,

00:05:26.020 same site, before the election,

00:05:28.440 saying that, according to former and current intel people,

00:05:34.820 that all of the Hunter Biden allegations

00:05:36.680 looked like Russian disinformation.

00:05:41.360 So, our own current and former intel people

00:05:44.820 were working against the United States.

00:05:49.400 That's interesting, isn't it?

00:05:51.080 So, according to Politico,

00:05:52.280 our own current and former intel people

00:05:57.640 are actually not on our team.

00:06:01.000 That's a little scary, isn't it?

00:06:03.400 Wouldn't you like to know

00:06:04.440 that your former intel people were on your side?

00:06:08.060 That's like the last people that you want to piss off.

00:06:10.460 Ask Chuck Schumer.

00:06:11.780 He said it directly.

00:06:13.100 It's the last group of people you'd want to piss off

00:06:15.380 because they can get back at you so many ways,

00:06:17.660 according to Chuck Schumer.

00:06:18.920 So, it's pretty distressing

00:06:22.360 that our own current and former intel people

00:06:25.420 were lying to our media

00:06:27.140 so that the media could lie to us.

00:06:29.300 What do you make of that?

00:06:30.560 I feel like that's maybe the biggest story.

00:06:33.040 The biggest story is the misinformation

00:06:34.860 or disinformation

00:06:36.300 from our side.

00:06:39.380 Our own intelligence people,

00:06:42.060 retired and current,

00:06:43.740 were feeding disinformation

00:06:45.140 in a massive way.

00:06:46.580 massively disinformation

00:06:48.580 to our own press

00:06:51.140 in real time.

00:06:53.700 And what are we going to look into

00:06:56.140 instead of that?

00:06:57.940 Well, we'll talk about it.

00:06:59.620 But that feels like one of the biggest stories

00:07:01.640 in the country, doesn't it?

00:07:03.620 If you were going to say to yourself,

00:07:05.920 like, you know,

00:07:06.840 rank the big stories,

00:07:09.000 what would be a bigger story

00:07:10.660 than current and former intel people

00:07:13.580 starting a disinformation campaign

00:07:17.200 in this country?

00:07:18.860 Because that's really bad.

00:07:21.200 That's really, really, really bad.

00:07:24.700 That's a nine or a ten

00:07:27.880 on a scale of one to ten.

00:07:30.400 And we're in this really weird

00:07:32.720 new environment.

00:07:34.420 You've seen it before.

00:07:36.480 Maybe it's just attenuated

00:07:38.840 or maybe I just didn't notice it as much.

00:07:41.100 But it goes like this.

00:07:43.260 In any given day,

00:07:45.160 let's say there are a hundred things

00:07:46.800 happening in the world

00:07:47.880 that could legitimately be called news.

00:07:51.400 Which of the hundred things

00:07:52.860 that are happening in the world

00:07:53.940 end up actually being news?

00:07:56.660 Well, not all hundred.

00:07:58.160 You know that.

00:07:59.280 It's some little subset

00:08:00.360 of the hundred things

00:08:01.280 that could be news

00:08:02.160 become news.

00:08:03.800 And then we obsessively talk

00:08:05.680 about that little group of things

00:08:06.980 that we decided are news.

00:08:08.120 Well, if you're not familiar

00:08:09.980 with the news business,

00:08:11.940 there are entities

00:08:13.640 called news makers.

00:08:16.360 Meaning somebody

00:08:17.160 who's in the news business

00:08:18.380 who's important enough

00:08:19.580 to look into the hundred things

00:08:21.440 that all could be news.

00:08:22.540 They're all important.

00:08:23.640 But they've picked this one.

00:08:25.760 And once, let's say,

00:08:26.680 the New York Times picks it,

00:08:28.400 could be CNN,

00:08:29.820 could be Washington Post,

00:08:31.180 but any of the big entities.

00:08:32.600 Once they pick it

00:08:33.300 and they say this is news,

00:08:35.220 then we sort of ignore

00:08:36.200 all the other stuff

00:08:37.060 that was just as important.

00:08:38.960 And we act like

00:08:39.660 that's the only news.

00:08:41.720 And so I guess

00:08:42.380 the news was always able

00:08:44.080 to redirect you

00:08:45.880 to the only thing

00:08:46.580 they cared about

00:08:47.320 as opposed to the things

00:08:48.560 you might care about.

00:08:50.460 But I feel as if

00:08:52.100 their ability

00:08:52.660 to simply tell you

00:08:53.800 that something

00:08:54.360 deeply, deeply important

00:08:56.620 doesn't matter

00:08:58.460 is really the superpower.

00:09:01.080 Because this story

00:09:02.180 about these ex

00:09:04.160 and current Intel people

00:09:05.480 running a disinformation campaign

00:09:07.600 in the middle

00:09:08.880 of an election

00:09:10.980 in this country,

00:09:12.560 that feels like,

00:09:13.940 to me,

00:09:14.300 just about the biggest story

00:09:15.600 in the country.

00:09:16.900 And it's treated as

00:09:18.340 it's not even a story.

00:09:21.360 They simply have to treat it

00:09:22.880 like it's not a story.

00:09:25.300 And it becomes not a story.

00:09:27.380 And if it's not a story,

00:09:28.620 it's also not a crime.

00:09:30.300 There's nothing to investigate.

00:09:31.720 There's no call

00:09:32.320 from the public to do it.

00:09:33.500 It just goes away.

00:09:37.420 And this could have,

00:09:38.400 just as easily,

00:09:39.580 you could imagine,

00:09:40.900 it would take you

00:09:41.720 no trouble at all

00:09:43.800 to imagine

00:09:44.520 that it became

00:09:45.740 the biggest story

00:09:46.480 in the country.

00:09:47.640 You could imagine that, right?

00:09:49.100 What would be a bigger story

00:09:50.300 than current

00:09:50.920 and future Intel people

00:09:52.620 running an obvious

00:09:54.640 disinformation campaign

00:09:56.160 during an election?

00:09:57.040 I don't know

00:09:59.120 that it gets

00:09:59.560 any bigger than that.

00:10:00.960 And apparently

00:10:02.320 they were using

00:10:03.020 the media as part of that,

00:10:04.500 Politico in particular,

00:10:06.420 among others,

00:10:08.120 probably all of the

00:10:09.080 other big media.

00:10:10.600 How is that not

00:10:11.300 the biggest story

00:10:11.960 in the world?

00:10:13.480 It's amazing.

00:10:15.020 All right,

00:10:15.340 let's go on.

00:10:16.740 You all want to talk

00:10:17.940 about Representative Swalwell,

00:10:19.920 who coincidentally,

00:10:21.020 because the simulation

00:10:22.720 is running out

00:10:24.620 of processing power,

00:10:26.460 you'll see that,

00:10:27.840 and I've told you

00:10:28.460 this before,

00:10:29.560 you'll run into

00:10:30.580 too many repeats.

00:10:33.420 For example,

00:10:34.840 the biggest story

00:10:35.660 in the country

00:10:36.160 is about a representative

00:10:37.660 in Congress.

00:10:39.460 What were the odds

00:10:40.500 it would be

00:10:41.880 my representative?

00:10:44.140 Well, pretty low,

00:10:45.800 but there it is.

00:10:46.640 So, again,

00:10:48.240 I'm only teasing

00:10:49.160 because coincidences

00:10:50.280 are generally

00:10:51.120 just coincidences.

00:10:52.720 and confirmation bias.

00:10:54.540 But if you start

00:10:55.520 looking for it,

00:10:56.480 it's sort of

00:10:56.980 a fun exercise

00:10:58.140 to see how often

00:10:59.640 you'll see it

00:11:00.400 if you tune your brain

00:11:02.380 to expect it.

00:11:03.780 Now, just for fun,

00:11:05.460 just for fun,

00:11:08.100 look for all the repeats

00:11:09.660 and things that would

00:11:12.020 look like you're

00:11:12.720 a computer simulation

00:11:13.860 that's running

00:11:14.980 out of memory.

00:11:16.040 So it's repeating stuff.

00:11:17.400 For example,

00:11:18.620 could the biggest story

00:11:19.620 in the news

00:11:20.040 be about

00:11:20.560 my representative,

00:11:21.920 somebody I've met

00:11:23.220 in person?

00:11:24.940 What are the odds

00:11:25.920 that one of the biggest

00:11:27.480 stories in the world

00:11:28.540 is somebody I know?

00:11:32.060 Okay.

00:11:32.560 I mean,

00:11:33.060 I've met a lot of people,

00:11:34.340 but that's one thing.

00:11:35.980 And then,

00:11:36.480 what are the odds

00:11:37.360 that the main character

00:11:38.760 in the story,

00:11:39.500 who is not

00:11:40.100 Swalwell himself,

00:11:42.020 is named

00:11:43.480 Fang Fang?

00:11:46.280 Did I...

00:11:47.160 can you confirm?

00:11:48.960 I want you to confirm.

00:11:51.120 Confirm that I've been

00:11:52.320 telling you now

00:11:53.080 for a few weeks,

00:11:54.060 I guess,

00:11:54.740 that you would see

00:11:55.660 the simulation

00:11:56.400 serve up

00:11:57.420 names that are

00:11:59.060 like duplicates.

00:12:00.500 Did I not tell you

00:12:02.000 that the simulation

00:12:03.680 would start serving up

00:12:05.040 duplicate names?

00:12:07.520 Confirm this.

00:12:08.360 Because anybody

00:12:08.940 who hears me say that

00:12:10.040 is going to say,

00:12:10.680 you didn't say that.

00:12:12.280 You didn't predict

00:12:13.340 that duplicate names

00:12:15.420 would be coming.

00:12:16.340 I want you to see it

00:12:17.160 in the comments

00:12:17.760 that I predicted

00:12:19.340 duplicate names

00:12:20.720 were coming.

00:12:22.100 And then the...

00:12:22.720 Yeah, you see it.

00:12:23.580 Confirmed.

00:12:24.080 It's in the comments.

00:12:25.260 Now,

00:12:25.720 of all the weird things

00:12:27.260 I've predicted,

00:12:28.880 is that the weirdest?

00:12:31.360 Is that the weirdest thing

00:12:32.560 I've ever predicted?

00:12:34.140 And it's because

00:12:34.940 you can see it happening.

00:12:36.240 We're seeing just

00:12:37.040 the same people

00:12:37.840 popping up all the time,

00:12:39.260 and now just the same

00:12:40.580 names of things.

00:12:42.700 Right?

00:12:44.420 It's...

00:12:45.060 Yeah,

00:12:45.260 you're seeing in the comments.

00:12:46.240 I'm not making this up.

00:12:47.240 I actually predicted

00:12:48.280 that the news

00:12:49.100 would start using

00:12:50.260 duplicate names.

00:12:51.340 And here it is,

00:12:51.960 the headline.

00:12:52.880 Fang Fang. 0.78

00:12:57.000 And here's a...

00:12:58.320 We're hearing a little bit

00:12:59.440 more about this story.

00:13:01.060 It turns out

00:13:02.040 that Fang Fang

00:13:03.200 had a...

00:13:04.600 sort of a...

00:13:06.160 a name for

00:13:07.140 her boyfriend,

00:13:08.420 allegedly.

00:13:09.740 She called him

00:13:10.560 Fart Fart.

00:13:11.880 So it was Fang Fang

00:13:12.980 and Fart Fart.

00:13:14.300 Very cute couple.

00:13:15.880 Now, I say they're a couple,

00:13:17.240 but I do not have evidence

00:13:18.460 that they were ever

00:13:19.800 actually a couple.

00:13:21.560 So I don't think

00:13:22.560 it's fair

00:13:23.180 that,

00:13:24.680 especially since he's married,

00:13:26.100 I don't think it's fair

00:13:27.180 that we should assume

00:13:28.720 that this is true.

00:13:29.960 You know,

00:13:30.780 there's allegations

00:13:31.660 that he had a

00:13:32.800 sexual relationship

00:13:33.880 with her,

00:13:34.620 but we don't have

00:13:35.920 evidence.

00:13:36.600 In fact,

00:13:38.180 when Swalwell's

00:13:39.920 staff was asked

00:13:41.000 whether he had

00:13:41.540 a sexual relationship

00:13:42.620 with this

00:13:43.920 alleged Chinese spy,

00:13:46.660 here's what his staff said,

00:13:48.120 and, you know,

00:13:48.840 I think you can trust this.

00:13:50.740 The staff says,

00:13:51.820 well, here's the...

00:13:52.580 It says,

00:13:52.960 we asked Swalwell's office.

00:13:54.400 This was the news reported.

00:13:56.480 And his staff replied

00:13:57.940 by saying

00:13:58.380 that they couldn't comment

00:13:59.760 on whether or not

00:14:01.780 Swalwell had

00:14:02.800 a sexual relationship

00:14:04.040 with Fang

00:14:04.800 because that information

00:14:06.660 might be classified.

00:14:10.440 So I guess

00:14:12.240 we'll never know

00:14:13.540 because,

00:14:15.060 according to his staff,

00:14:17.240 whether or not

00:14:18.260 this married representative 0.90

00:14:20.080 was having sex 0.81

00:14:21.800 with a Chinese spy,

00:14:24.360 they can't tell us

00:14:25.900 because it might be classified.

00:14:28.280 Now,

00:14:29.060 let me give some advice

00:14:30.800 to Representative Swalwell.

00:14:32.820 I know maybe

00:14:33.640 you don't need some advice

00:14:34.560 for me,

00:14:35.000 but it goes like this.

00:14:37.220 If your staff

00:14:38.460 has ever asked

00:14:39.400 if you've had

00:14:41.160 a sexual relationship

00:14:42.320 with a Chinese spy,

00:14:44.560 the correct answer is

00:14:46.600 no.

00:14:50.640 Now,

00:14:51.380 under the condition

00:14:52.260 that he had not had

00:14:53.840 sex with a Chinese spy,

00:14:56.900 the answer is

00:14:58.140 always no.

00:15:00.700 There's not really

00:15:01.880 a second way

00:15:02.720 to answer that

00:15:03.620 that doesn't sound

00:15:05.520 like yes.

00:15:08.440 I'll get back to you.

00:15:10.320 Sounds like

00:15:11.100 sort of maybe he did.

00:15:12.900 I can't talk about it

00:15:14.160 because it might be,

00:15:15.760 what they call it,

00:15:17.060 might be classified.

00:15:20.000 That's really saying yes.

00:15:23.040 So,

00:15:23.940 Representative Swalwell,

00:15:25.660 you might want to make

00:15:26.820 some changes

00:15:27.420 on your staff

00:15:28.460 because I think

00:15:29.460 they just confirmed

00:15:30.500 you had sex 0.88

00:15:31.280 with a Chinese spy.

00:15:32.860 Now,

00:15:33.880 if I'm doing

00:15:35.340 the performance review

00:15:36.560 for my staff,

00:15:38.780 that's going to come up.

00:15:41.100 I'll be there,

00:15:41.860 you know,

00:15:42.140 giving the performance

00:15:42.920 reviews.

00:15:43.480 All right,

00:15:44.280 Bob,

00:15:45.740 let's see,

00:15:47.160 looking at your performance

00:15:48.840 over the year,

00:15:49.540 there was a,

00:15:50.600 yeah,

00:15:50.900 you were very punctual.

00:15:53.280 That's a plus for you,

00:15:54.740 Bob.

00:15:55.240 Good job in that punctuality.

00:15:57.480 I liked a lot of your writing.

00:15:59.260 You know,

00:15:59.480 you did some good writing

00:16:00.400 and some projects.

00:16:01.860 A plus.

00:16:03.740 There was a,

00:16:05.600 really just one thing,

00:16:08.480 just one thing

00:16:09.720 that I have

00:16:10.320 a little problem with,

00:16:11.580 and I think

00:16:12.080 this will have to be

00:16:12.940 reflected on your

00:16:13.680 permanent record.

00:16:14.980 There was a time

00:16:15.960 you confirmed

00:16:16.680 to the press

00:16:17.500 that I was having sex 0.68

00:16:18.800 with a Chinese spy.

00:16:20.100 That was suboptimal,

00:16:23.760 Bob.

00:16:24.840 And I'm going to have

00:16:25.780 to give you

00:16:26.320 a below expectation

00:16:27.960 for that.

00:16:29.360 You did not exceed

00:16:30.140 my expectations.

00:16:31.840 So,

00:16:32.480 narking me out

00:16:33.360 for having sex, 0.74

00:16:34.660 allegedly,

00:16:35.860 with a Chinese,

00:16:37.040 allegedly,

00:16:38.480 spy,

00:16:39.520 not such good performance.

00:16:41.640 Not such good performance.

00:16:43.720 You did not get a raise.

00:16:47.000 All right,

00:16:47.680 now let me ask you this.

00:16:50.520 Now that the Swalwell story

00:16:52.260 is,

00:16:53.180 you know,

00:16:53.600 gaining some credibility,

00:16:55.580 and we all know about it,

00:16:58.000 does it not explain

00:16:59.620 everything that you saw

00:17:00.940 with Swalwell?

00:17:02.940 Was there not

00:17:03.940 some point

00:17:04.700 you said to yourself,

00:17:06.280 I feel like he's

00:17:07.100 getting ahead of himself

00:17:08.160 running for president?

00:17:10.200 Didn't you?

00:17:11.020 Didn't you say to yourself,

00:17:12.400 why is he running

00:17:13.520 for president?

00:17:14.240 I get that he's

00:17:14.820 on TV a lot,

00:17:15.840 but I don't feel like

00:17:17.560 he's quite ready

00:17:19.420 to run for president,

00:17:20.900 and sure enough,

00:17:21.600 the public agreed.

00:17:23.460 But you say to yourself,

00:17:24.860 why does somebody

00:17:25.740 go too soon?

00:17:28.260 You know,

00:17:28.520 maybe later

00:17:29.140 he'd be more groomed,

00:17:30.640 or maybe he'd be

00:17:31.360 a senator by then,

00:17:32.300 who knows?

00:17:33.540 But the first thing

00:17:34.820 I had a question about

00:17:35.760 is that he seemed

00:17:36.520 too ambitious

00:17:37.420 for what his potential

00:17:40.940 was at the moment.

00:17:42.240 Could have been

00:17:42.720 more later.

00:17:43.780 So that was sort

00:17:45.000 of a little flag.

00:17:46.060 I've always wondered

00:17:46.860 about that.

00:17:47.540 That seems a little

00:17:48.480 bit too ambitious.

00:17:50.020 I like ambitious people,

00:17:51.380 but it just seemed

00:17:52.140 a little,

00:17:53.080 you know,

00:17:53.280 it's not like he was

00:17:54.000 Obama.

00:17:54.700 He wasn't a superstar.

00:17:57.360 So that was weird.

00:17:58.720 And then,

00:17:59.080 of course,

00:17:59.440 watching his entire act

00:18:01.140 in which he was

00:18:02.140 trying to paint

00:18:02.940 President Trump

00:18:03.920 as a Russian puppet 0.85

00:18:06.100 never looked

00:18:07.720 even slightly real.

00:18:09.540 It never looked

00:18:10.280 like he believed it.

00:18:11.300 and never looked

00:18:12.060 like he was

00:18:12.680 even American,

00:18:14.760 honestly.

00:18:15.900 He gave the opinion,

00:18:17.700 he gave the look,

00:18:18.940 Swalwell did,

00:18:20.340 as not somebody

00:18:21.760 who was just

00:18:22.320 anti-Republican,

00:18:24.120 and not even somebody

00:18:25.320 who was a Democrat.

00:18:27.000 He gave the look

00:18:28.120 of somebody

00:18:28.520 who wasn't even

00:18:29.080 on the side of America.

00:18:31.160 I mean,

00:18:31.380 that's what it looked

00:18:31.900 like.

00:18:32.640 Because he was

00:18:33.460 so far over the edge

00:18:35.520 into that Russia

00:18:36.340 collusion thing,

00:18:37.520 it didn't even look

00:18:38.340 like he was trying

00:18:39.440 to be helpful,

00:18:40.800 right?

00:18:41.640 It looked like

00:18:42.500 he was literally

00:18:43.120 on some other team.

00:18:44.980 And now we know

00:18:45.840 that there was

00:18:46.620 a connection

00:18:47.140 to the other team

00:18:48.220 that may have

00:18:49.920 been pretty deep,

00:18:51.340 including financial

00:18:52.680 support,

00:18:53.520 etc.

00:18:54.200 So,

00:18:54.920 I think we could

00:18:56.300 say at this point

00:18:57.180 that certainly

00:18:58.280 Swalwell should not 1.00

00:18:59.280 have any kind of job

00:19:00.300 in the government

00:19:00.900 after that.

00:19:02.280 I can't imagine

00:19:03.160 it would just be

00:19:04.520 ridiculous to re-elect him.

00:19:06.140 He certainly

00:19:06.760 shouldn't be

00:19:07.160 any kind of

00:19:07.760 committee.

00:19:09.440 And again,

00:19:10.100 it doesn't even

00:19:10.700 matter if he's guilty.

00:19:12.200 It doesn't matter

00:19:13.120 if he's guilty.

00:19:14.000 If you lose

00:19:15.100 that much trust,

00:19:17.520 that's all you

00:19:18.080 need to know.

00:19:18.920 You don't know

00:19:19.420 if he's actually

00:19:20.240 guilty of these things.

00:19:21.240 You just need to know

00:19:22.160 that the situation

00:19:23.600 is such that you

00:19:24.680 shouldn't trust it

00:19:25.740 by its setup,

00:19:27.640 right?

00:19:28.000 You don't need

00:19:28.540 to know the details.

00:19:30.200 So,

00:19:31.500 after seeing this

00:19:32.980 completely explaining

00:19:34.560 Swalwell's behavior,

00:19:36.680 it looked like

00:19:37.520 he was a Chinese agent.

00:19:39.440 Now, I'm not saying

00:19:40.760 he was a Chinese agent.

00:19:42.060 I'm not alleging

00:19:42.960 he was a Chinese agent.

00:19:44.400 I'm just saying

00:19:45.080 his behavior

00:19:46.400 looked exactly

00:19:48.180 like one,

00:19:49.280 which doesn't mean

00:19:49.980 he was one,

00:19:50.580 because he could have

00:19:51.060 been just

00:19:51.500 partisan Democrat,

00:19:52.620 right?

00:19:53.600 But then I say

00:19:54.540 to myself,

00:19:55.400 if this is some

00:19:56.220 kind of massive

00:19:57.080 Chinese plot 0.76

00:19:58.600 to influence

00:20:00.920 politicians

00:20:01.560 who they find

00:20:03.180 when they're

00:20:03.620 minor politicians,

00:20:04.740 and then they

00:20:05.280 elevate them beyond

00:20:06.500 maybe a little

00:20:07.900 too early,

00:20:08.860 is there anybody

00:20:09.500 else who fits

00:20:10.420 the same pattern

00:20:11.460 as Swalwell?

00:20:13.360 In other words,

00:20:14.200 if you thought

00:20:14.920 there was a signal

00:20:15.920 given out

00:20:17.240 by the Swalwell

00:20:18.100 situation

00:20:18.840 that said,

00:20:19.960 oh,

00:20:20.320 now that we know

00:20:21.360 there was some

00:20:22.480 Chinese spy

00:20:23.340 involvement,

00:20:24.540 maybe you could

00:20:25.140 see the tells

00:20:26.200 for that,

00:20:26.740 the signals in it.

00:20:27.740 And one of the

00:20:28.540 signals was

00:20:29.300 somebody who is,

00:20:30.980 let's say,

00:20:31.320 not the strongest

00:20:32.140 politician

00:20:33.120 is getting a lot

00:20:35.080 of attention.

00:20:36.660 So that's one

00:20:37.420 of the tells,

00:20:37.940 right?

00:20:38.260 If you see

00:20:38.980 somebody like

00:20:39.520 Trump getting

00:20:40.260 a lot of

00:20:40.700 attention,

00:20:41.240 you say to

00:20:41.620 yourself,

00:20:41.980 well,

00:20:42.080 that makes

00:20:42.420 sense.

00:20:43.760 He's a very

00:20:44.640 substantial

00:20:45.320 politician.

00:20:47.580 Of course,

00:20:48.160 he should get

00:20:48.560 lots of attention.

00:20:49.660 But when you

00:20:50.140 see an Adam

00:20:51.140 Schiff or a

00:20:53.040 Swalwell get 0.95

00:20:53.860 a lot of

00:20:54.220 attention,

00:20:55.800 it seems a

00:20:56.580 little weird,

00:20:57.000 doesn't it?

00:20:57.740 Because they

00:20:58.660 don't seem

00:20:59.160 like substantial

00:21:00.080 people.

00:21:01.140 They both

00:21:01.940 seem amazingly

00:21:03.260 unsubstantial.

00:21:06.360 Am I right?

00:21:07.840 So,

00:21:08.700 if you're

00:21:09.980 looking for

00:21:10.400 the tells,

00:21:11.420 look for

00:21:11.860 an unsubstantial

00:21:13.840 politician,

00:21:15.240 somebody who

00:21:15.840 could be

00:21:16.340 molded and

00:21:17.120 moved,

00:21:17.660 someone who

00:21:18.060 is not

00:21:18.400 their own

00:21:18.840 man or

00:21:19.780 own woman,

00:21:21.100 and someone

00:21:22.600 who gets

00:21:22.980 way more

00:21:23.740 attention

00:21:24.200 than the

00:21:25.700 amount of

00:21:26.260 substance

00:21:26.720 they bring,

00:21:27.420 demands,

00:21:28.940 and here's

00:21:29.780 the third

00:21:30.160 thing.

00:21:31.020 The claims

00:21:31.680 are so

00:21:32.340 over the

00:21:32.880 top that

00:21:34.320 they don't

00:21:34.760 look like

00:21:35.180 a Republican,

00:21:36.480 they don't

00:21:37.260 look like

00:21:37.780 even a

00:21:38.420 Democrat,

00:21:39.340 they look

00:21:40.420 like they're

00:21:40.820 on the

00:21:41.060 other team,

00:21:41.960 meaning not

00:21:42.880 Team America.

00:21:44.880 Right?

00:21:46.800 Am I right?

00:21:47.560 Somebody is

00:21:48.740 throwing AOC

00:21:49.520 in the mix,

00:21:50.120 and I

00:21:50.320 disagree.

00:21:51.240 I think

00:21:51.680 AOC is

00:21:52.340 just young.

00:21:54.520 But I

00:21:55.000 would say

00:21:55.300 she has

00:21:55.720 substance.

00:21:57.120 Unlike the 0.98

00:21:57.700 other two,

00:21:58.700 she has

00:21:59.240 some X

00:22:00.320 factor

00:22:00.800 native

00:22:01.620 thing,

00:22:03.340 meaning that

00:22:04.060 she was

00:22:05.380 born a

00:22:05.900 powerful person

00:22:06.740 will always

00:22:07.240 be so.

00:22:08.040 I don't

00:22:08.480 see that

00:22:09.000 with Schiff,

00:22:09.660 and I

00:22:09.980 don't see

00:22:10.280 that with

00:22:10.640 Swalwell.

00:22:11.800 So I

00:22:13.440 wouldn't put

00:22:13.960 her in that

00:22:14.620 list of

00:22:15.080 having those

00:22:15.580 same

00:22:15.860 characteristics.

00:22:16.740 I think

00:22:16.960 she's her

00:22:17.840 own thing.

00:22:18.220 And indeed,

00:22:19.700 even the

00:22:20.480 Green New

00:22:20.920 Deal and

00:22:21.280 stuff with

00:22:21.700 AOC may

00:22:23.360 be right,

00:22:23.820 may be

00:22:24.080 wrong.

00:22:24.520 I think

00:22:24.760 it's wrong.

00:22:25.740 But it

00:22:26.040 doesn't look

00:22:27.540 exactly like

00:22:28.520 a Chinese

00:22:29.000 plot.

00:22:30.460 Although you

00:22:30.900 could argue

00:22:31.320 that it

00:22:31.620 might destroy

00:22:32.080 the country,

00:22:32.620 so maybe

00:22:32.940 it was.

00:22:33.700 Anyway,

00:22:34.080 so here's

00:22:34.380 my question.

00:22:35.720 I'm not

00:22:36.400 going to say

00:22:36.740 there's any

00:22:37.240 evidence that

00:22:38.340 Adam Schiff

00:22:39.720 has anything

00:22:40.280 going on

00:22:40.820 with China.

00:22:42.060 There's no

00:22:42.700 evidence.

00:22:43.200 There's nothing

00:22:43.680 in evidence,

00:22:44.580 period.

00:22:45.580 But if

00:22:46.680 you're looking

00:22:47.060 for patterns,

00:22:48.220 he really

00:22:49.780 fits that

00:22:50.340 pattern.

00:22:51.620 And if I

00:22:52.000 had to

00:22:52.400 place a

00:22:53.120 bet,

00:22:54.060 like with

00:22:54.480 actual money,

00:22:55.880 on this

00:22:56.360 question,

00:22:57.780 does Adam

00:22:58.980 Schiff,

00:23:00.520 or has he

00:23:01.140 ever had a

00:23:01.940 boyfriend or

00:23:02.580 girlfriend who

00:23:03.820 were a

00:23:04.120 Chinese spy,

00:23:05.780 I would

00:23:06.260 probably place

00:23:06.860 a bet on

00:23:07.320 that,

00:23:07.980 because I

00:23:08.300 could probably

00:23:08.620 get good

00:23:09.040 odds,

00:23:09.600 right?

00:23:09.880 Doesn't mean

00:23:10.340 it's true.

00:23:11.420 Doesn't mean

00:23:11.980 it's more

00:23:12.460 likely to be

00:23:13.140 true than

00:23:13.520 not.

00:23:14.680 But based

00:23:15.620 on just

00:23:16.640 the smell

00:23:17.960 of it,

00:23:19.080 I'd place

00:23:19.640 a bet on

00:23:20.100 it.

00:23:20.920 I'd put

00:23:21.460 $1,000 on

00:23:22.360 it if I

00:23:22.840 could.

00:23:23.480 I would

00:23:23.800 put a

00:23:24.080 $1,000 bet

00:23:25.120 that you

00:23:26.500 could find

00:23:27.040 someday that

00:23:27.680 Adam Schiff

00:23:28.220 had a

00:23:28.560 Chinese spy

00:23:29.480 connection.

00:23:30.980 Just because

00:23:31.760 of the way

00:23:32.080 he acts,

00:23:32.740 and I want

00:23:33.140 to be as

00:23:33.420 clear as

00:23:33.860 possible,

00:23:34.680 there is

00:23:35.140 no evidence

00:23:36.400 that I'm

00:23:37.920 aware of

00:23:38.460 that Adam

00:23:39.740 Schiff has

00:23:40.160 any kind

00:23:40.580 of an

00:23:40.940 external

00:23:41.360 foreign

00:23:41.880 connection.

00:23:42.520 I'm just

00:23:43.320 saying he

00:23:43.720 acts exactly

00:23:45.340 like a

00:23:45.860 guy who

00:23:46.200 does,

00:23:47.040 because we

00:23:47.820 just saw

00:23:48.260 a guy who

00:23:49.340 has that

00:23:49.780 connection.

00:23:50.360 We don't

00:23:50.600 know how

00:23:50.980 much it

00:23:51.300 influenced him

00:23:51.940 if it

00:23:52.200 did,

00:23:52.720 but we

00:23:53.160 know that

00:23:53.460 somebody

00:23:53.680 looks just

00:23:54.480 like that.

00:23:56.720 And I

00:23:57.340 can't explain

00:23:58.000 it with

00:23:58.460 other

00:23:59.060 explanations.

00:24:00.420 I'll just

00:24:00.680 put it

00:24:00.960 out there.

00:24:03.080 I have

00:24:03.740 to hang

00:24:04.100 my head

00:24:04.980 in shame

00:24:05.400 today,

00:24:05.760 because I'm

00:24:08.960 a professional

00:24:09.640 humorist,

00:24:10.880 and if I

00:24:12.680 miss a joke

00:24:13.520 that's just

00:24:14.200 right there

00:24:15.760 for me,

00:24:16.800 and I

00:24:17.260 miss it,

00:24:18.020 I just

00:24:18.360 feel embarrassed.

00:24:20.000 And that's

00:24:20.400 how I felt

00:24:20.940 when I saw

00:24:21.560 my Twitter

00:24:22.700 feed this

00:24:23.260 morning,

00:24:23.860 and non-professional

00:24:25.660 humorist Alex

00:24:26.780 Gaviris said,

00:24:29.640 and I quote

00:24:30.320 about this

00:24:31.260 story,

00:24:32.300 that's what

00:24:32.740 she said,

00:24:34.100 except he

00:24:34.620 spelled

00:24:35.820 she-X-I, 0.86

00:24:37.440 as in

00:24:37.760 President

00:24:38.200 Xi of

00:24:38.860 China,

00:24:39.680 that's what

00:24:40.280 Xi said.

00:24:41.500 And when I

00:24:41.980 read it,

00:24:42.480 and of course

00:24:42.860 it's one of

00:24:43.220 these jokes

00:24:43.660 that you have

00:24:44.080 to read,

00:24:44.640 it doesn't

00:24:45.000 work if you

00:24:45.460 say it out

00:24:45.820 loud,

00:24:46.440 but when I

00:24:47.400 read it,

00:24:47.920 I said to

00:24:48.340 myself,

00:24:50.120 I quit.

00:24:51.560 I quit.

00:24:52.200 I can't be

00:24:52.840 a professional

00:24:53.540 humorist anymore.

00:24:54.920 How in the

00:24:55.440 hell did I

00:24:57.000 not say that

00:24:57.780 joke before

00:24:59.440 Alex Gaviris

00:25:00.740 said it on

00:25:01.520 Twitter?

00:25:02.060 How the

00:25:02.520 hell can I

00:25:04.540 live with

00:25:04.940 myself now?

00:25:06.660 It was

00:25:07.280 right there.

00:25:08.200 It was

00:25:08.460 right there.

00:25:09.420 It was

00:25:09.740 right in

00:25:10.240 front of

00:25:10.580 me,

00:25:11.220 glowing and

00:25:12.000 big.

00:25:13.160 Didn't see

00:25:13.640 it.

00:25:14.620 Did not

00:25:15.120 see it.

00:25:16.100 But Alex

00:25:16.640 did.

00:25:17.540 That's what

00:25:17.980 she said.

00:25:19.620 All right.

00:25:19.980 All right.

00:25:25.460 Will rapid

00:25:27.320 testing for

00:25:28.240 coronavirus get

00:25:29.520 approved under

00:25:30.180 Biden?

00:25:30.520 I tweeted

00:25:32.140 I tweeted

00:25:32.160 that later

00:25:33.360 today there's

00:25:34.720 an online

00:25:35.420 event about

00:25:36.340 this idea of

00:25:37.280 doing rapid

00:25:37.980 testing.

00:25:39.100 So this is a

00:25:39.720 virtual event.

00:25:40.640 Today's the

00:25:41.140 10th, right?

00:25:42.400 Today's the

00:25:42.940 10th.

00:25:43.900 Yeah.

00:25:44.280 It's a virtual

00:25:45.260 event about

00:25:47.280 the topic of

00:25:48.180 rapid COVID

00:25:49.100 tests.

00:25:50.380 Now, if

00:25:51.680 you're new to

00:25:52.160 this, there is

00:25:53.920 very little in

00:25:54.840 common with

00:25:55.680 doing regular

00:25:57.220 testing for

00:25:58.040 coronavirus and

00:25:59.780 this idea.

00:26:01.080 Rapid testing,

00:26:02.900 you should think

00:26:03.580 of it as just

00:26:04.180 a completely

00:26:04.880 different animal

00:26:05.880 with a

00:26:06.860 completely

00:26:07.580 different way

00:26:08.660 of working

00:26:09.280 than just

00:26:10.440 testing people

00:26:11.440 like we do

00:26:12.000 now.

00:26:13.120 And the

00:26:13.500 reason it's

00:26:13.940 different is

00:26:14.500 they use the

00:26:15.780 proposal is

00:26:17.920 to use paper

00:26:18.600 strips, which

00:26:19.520 we just heard

00:26:20.760 word actually

00:26:22.260 today there's

00:26:22.960 news that

00:26:23.540 somebody developed

00:26:24.480 a good paper

00:26:25.300 strip that

00:26:26.320 would be cheap

00:26:26.900 for testing.

00:26:28.180 So this event,

00:26:29.100 which we'll talk

00:26:29.760 about this idea,

00:26:30.780 this is the

00:26:31.180 Michael Mina

00:26:31.620 idea, I

00:26:32.080 think, of

00:26:33.180 using cheap

00:26:33.860 test strips

00:26:34.460 that you can

00:26:35.040 do as many

00:26:35.540 tests as you

00:26:36.120 want at home.

00:26:37.180 Maybe it's

00:26:37.840 two or five

00:26:38.740 dollars for

00:26:39.280 each test.

00:26:40.880 You don't

00:26:41.340 need a doctor,

00:26:42.180 you just get

00:26:43.940 a bunch of

00:26:44.460 them, test

00:26:45.720 yourself every

00:26:46.340 few days just

00:26:47.200 because you

00:26:47.520 want to know.

00:26:48.760 And then,

00:26:49.580 they're not

00:26:49.960 perfect tests.

00:26:51.600 And here's the

00:26:52.180 part people don't

00:26:53.000 understand.

00:26:54.720 The idea of

00:26:55.820 doing rapid,

00:26:56.800 cheap tests that

00:26:57.540 are ubiquitous and

00:26:58.480 everybody can test

00:26:59.200 like crazy,

00:27:00.160 uses cheap

00:27:00.860 tests that

00:27:02.080 are not quite

00:27:02.880 as rapid,

00:27:04.020 or they're not

00:27:04.660 as accurate,

00:27:05.900 as these really

00:27:06.900 expensive tests

00:27:08.280 that we have

00:27:08.740 now.

00:27:10.020 So the point

00:27:10.840 is if you do

00:27:11.580 enough cheap

00:27:12.620 tests, you

00:27:13.980 get a better

00:27:14.620 result than a

00:27:16.280 fewer number of

00:27:17.100 high quality

00:27:17.660 tests.

00:27:18.300 So that's

00:27:18.920 what's different.

00:27:20.380 The proposal

00:27:21.060 is that doing a

00:27:22.180 small number of

00:27:23.040 whatever we can

00:27:23.640 do with our

00:27:24.120 current technology

00:27:24.980 technology, it

00:27:26.920 never gets you

00:27:27.600 to the point

00:27:28.000 where the

00:27:28.300 testing cures

00:27:29.320 the coronavirus.

00:27:30.240 It just tells

00:27:30.760 you if you

00:27:31.200 need to be

00:27:31.620 treated.

00:27:32.540 The other, the

00:27:33.960 cheap test

00:27:35.420 thing with the

00:27:36.040 cheap test

00:27:36.460 strips is

00:27:37.620 meant to

00:27:38.300 stop the

00:27:38.800 virus.

00:27:40.080 The other

00:27:40.560 testing isn't

00:27:41.180 even meant to

00:27:41.720 do that.

00:27:43.000 So they're not

00:27:44.400 similar, they

00:27:46.060 just both have

00:27:46.700 the words

00:27:47.220 coronavirus test.

00:27:49.520 Those two

00:27:50.060 words, basically

00:27:51.700 the only thing

00:27:52.340 they have in

00:27:52.740 common.

00:27:53.160 Otherwise, it's

00:27:53.680 a completely

00:27:54.140 different idea.

00:27:55.480 And part of

00:27:56.240 the reason that

00:27:57.060 it isn't going

00:27:58.160 anywhere fast so

00:28:00.000 far is that

00:28:01.200 people can't 0.97

00:28:01.820 understand that

00:28:02.660 difference.

00:28:04.180 And people will

00:28:04.840 say, we already

00:28:05.740 have tests.

00:28:06.960 And then they're

00:28:08.020 done.

00:28:08.860 But they don't

00:28:09.480 understand it's

00:28:09.960 different.

00:28:10.240 All right, so

00:28:10.580 that's today.

00:28:14.260 I tweeted it so

00:28:15.560 you can add it to

00:28:16.240 your calendar

00:28:16.700 directly from the

00:28:18.000 tweet when you

00:28:18.700 see it.

00:28:20.180 That's worth

00:28:20.740 looking at.

00:28:21.520 And the question

00:28:21.960 I have is whether

00:28:22.780 the Biden

00:28:23.860 administration might

00:28:25.220 get more

00:28:25.660 interested in

00:28:26.380 this than the

00:28:27.680 Trump administration

00:28:29.080 was.

00:28:29.880 In my opinion,

00:28:30.960 the lack of the

00:28:32.180 Trump administration

00:28:33.000 dealing with this

00:28:33.940 idea, specifically

00:28:34.880 this idea, is

00:28:37.600 either a

00:28:38.300 gigantic, gigantic

00:28:40.240 failure, or they

00:28:44.440 should have

00:28:44.840 communicated to us

00:28:46.040 why they're not

00:28:47.020 doing it.

00:28:48.080 So I would have

00:28:48.880 been happy with,

00:28:49.980 we looked into

00:28:50.860 this deeply,

00:28:51.680 there's a

00:28:51.980 problem here

00:28:52.620 that maybe

00:28:53.200 they didn't

00:28:54.020 tell you, but

00:28:54.960 because of this

00:28:55.520 problem, we're

00:28:56.520 not going to

00:28:56.940 pursue this

00:28:57.480 aggressively.

00:28:58.320 If I'd heard

00:28:59.140 that, even if

00:29:01.040 they were wrong,

00:29:02.220 maybe they're

00:29:02.820 wrong.

00:29:03.380 But at least I'd

00:29:03.980 say, okay, they

00:29:04.740 dealt with the

00:29:05.540 very promising

00:29:07.020 idea, they dealt

00:29:07.940 with it, they

00:29:08.560 dismissed it, right

00:29:09.580 or wrong, at least

00:29:10.400 I feel like it was

00:29:11.440 handled in some

00:29:12.740 way.

00:29:13.620 But it's just

00:29:14.540 sort of ignored.

00:29:16.540 I know that this

00:29:17.680 idea has reached the

00:29:18.580 administration multiple

00:29:19.680 times and through

00:29:20.640 multiple outlets.

00:29:22.300 It's not that they

00:29:23.180 haven't heard it,

00:29:23.800 they've heard it

00:29:24.240 lots of times.

00:29:25.700 But they don't

00:29:26.400 respond to it.

00:29:27.900 They don't say it's

00:29:28.560 a good idea, they

00:29:29.580 don't say we're

00:29:30.060 looking into it.

00:29:31.340 And to me, that's

00:29:32.040 an enormous failure

00:29:33.540 of the Trump

00:29:34.780 administration's

00:29:36.380 coronavirus task

00:29:37.760 force.

00:29:38.340 Enormous.

00:29:39.160 I'm talking about

00:29:39.900 a 10 out of

00:29:40.900 10 in terms of

00:29:42.680 mistake.

00:29:43.480 I mean, just a

00:29:44.160 serious, serious

00:29:45.040 mistake.

00:29:46.440 Again, I could be

00:29:48.020 wrong, I just need

00:29:48.900 to hear a reason.

00:29:49.480 And the fact that

00:29:50.220 they don't give the

00:29:50.820 public a reason for

00:29:53.180 not doing it, or

00:29:55.100 even to tell us if

00:29:55.980 they are doing it and

00:29:56.640 we don't know about

00:29:57.260 it, that's just an

00:29:58.800 enormous mistake.

00:29:59.780 There's no way around

00:30:00.400 that.

00:30:00.560 There's no way to

00:30:01.080 soften that.

00:30:02.380 There is no way to

00:30:03.320 soften that.

00:30:04.440 It's an enormous,

00:30:06.240 enormous mistake

00:30:07.540 that could have

00:30:09.660 killed 100,000

00:30:11.320 people.

00:30:12.180 That's just a

00:30:12.860 fact.

00:30:13.560 And that's not, I

00:30:14.680 don't think you can

00:30:15.240 put that on Trump.

00:30:16.100 because the entire

00:30:17.620 task force could

00:30:18.860 talk about it.

00:30:20.160 Fauci could bring

00:30:20.920 it up.

00:30:21.720 Fauci could bring it

00:30:22.620 up just to debunk

00:30:23.460 it, which would be

00:30:24.460 fine.

00:30:25.800 He's not even

00:30:26.540 brought it up as far

00:30:27.320 as I know.

00:30:28.380 Does the news bring

00:30:29.180 it up?

00:30:29.920 No.

00:30:31.000 All right.

00:30:34.340 Here's the other

00:30:34.980 thing that's fun.

00:30:36.540 The FTC said that

00:30:38.500 Facebook is engaged

00:30:40.300 in, quote,

00:30:40.780 a systemic strategy

00:30:42.480 to eliminate

00:30:43.120 its competition.

00:30:44.100 So they're being

00:30:44.580 taken to court for

00:30:46.640 unfair competition

00:30:48.500 stuff, monopoly

00:30:49.720 stuff.

00:30:51.320 And so some of

00:30:52.540 the things being

00:30:53.180 suggested as

00:30:54.620 monopoly stuff is

00:30:57.300 that they're buying

00:30:58.060 up their little

00:30:58.840 competitors.

00:31:00.100 So they buy the

00:31:00.800 competitors.

00:31:02.260 And some of them,

00:31:04.340 as an example,

00:31:05.120 they bought

00:31:05.440 Instagram, so it

00:31:06.620 wouldn't compete

00:31:07.140 with them.

00:31:07.580 They bought

00:31:07.880 WhatsApp, so it

00:31:09.380 wouldn't compete

00:31:09.840 with them.

00:31:10.160 So of all the

00:31:11.560 things that

00:31:12.000 Facebook is

00:31:12.720 doing, was

00:31:14.180 that the one

00:31:14.740 you were worried

00:31:15.360 about?

00:31:16.760 I feel as if

00:31:18.000 that was the

00:31:19.280 only one I

00:31:19.840 don't care about.

00:31:21.580 Let me ask you

00:31:22.500 this.

00:31:22.860 Are you worse

00:31:23.620 off because

00:31:24.900 Facebook owns

00:31:26.480 Instagram?

00:31:28.940 Not because of

00:31:30.000 competition, because

00:31:31.180 I think, I'm

00:31:32.560 pretty sure

00:31:32.960 Facebook improved

00:31:34.080 Instagram, and

00:31:35.000 now I can post

00:31:36.280 on one and it

00:31:37.080 shows up on

00:31:37.740 both.

00:31:38.720 I feel like I

00:31:39.460 came out ahead

00:31:40.080 what about

00:31:42.440 Facebook buying

00:31:44.760 WhatsApp?

00:31:45.960 Did that hurt

00:31:46.640 you in some

00:31:47.220 way?

00:31:48.780 Did you not

00:31:49.760 get to eat

00:31:50.380 today because

00:31:51.320 Facebook bought

00:31:52.180 WhatsApp?

00:31:53.480 And what about

00:31:54.180 all the smaller

00:31:54.740 companies that

00:31:55.460 they bought?

00:31:56.640 Every one of

00:31:57.300 those companies

00:31:57.920 was hoping

00:31:58.580 Facebook would

00:31:59.320 buy them, or

00:32:00.600 somebody like

00:32:01.580 them.

00:32:02.540 Small companies,

00:32:04.420 startups, they

00:32:06.040 want to be

00:32:06.800 purchased by the

00:32:08.000 large companies.

00:32:08.580 that's their

00:32:09.140 exit strategy.

00:32:10.140 Oh, we'll

00:32:10.460 reach a certain

00:32:12.380 size, and

00:32:13.020 Facebook or

00:32:13.940 Google or

00:32:15.720 somebody will

00:32:16.220 buy us.

00:32:17.400 Why would I

00:32:18.080 want to take

00:32:18.440 that away?

00:32:19.860 Why would I

00:32:20.680 want every

00:32:21.820 startup not to

00:32:23.720 have an exit

00:32:24.440 strategy that's

00:32:25.280 the most obvious

00:32:26.520 exit strategy that

00:32:27.580 they all look

00:32:28.060 for?

00:32:28.260 So, here's

00:32:31.180 my take on

00:32:32.000 this movement

00:32:33.060 against Facebook.

00:32:34.820 I'm not

00:32:35.400 defending Facebook.

00:32:37.300 I'm just

00:32:37.940 saying that

00:32:38.580 there's sort

00:32:39.040 of a gigantic

00:32:39.920 fucking dead

00:32:41.060 elephant in the

00:32:41.980 room here,

00:32:42.440 isn't there?

00:32:43.720 And the

00:32:44.340 dead fucking 0.82

00:32:45.460 gigantic elephant

00:32:46.680 is that the

00:32:48.760 real problem is

00:32:49.560 that they just

00:32:50.120 changed the

00:32:50.880 election result,

00:32:52.920 effectively

00:32:53.500 eliminating the

00:32:54.740 republic because

00:32:56.240 they can just

00:32:58.040 decide who

00:32:58.620 gets to be

00:32:59.600 president.

00:33:00.480 Because the

00:33:01.200 social media

00:33:01.720 companies decide

00:33:02.580 what you see,

00:33:03.880 and that

00:33:04.120 decides, and

00:33:05.040 that makes your

00:33:05.840 opinion, and

00:33:06.400 then you vote

00:33:06.860 on it.

00:33:07.640 So, you have

00:33:08.620 this gigantic

00:33:10.280 problem, which

00:33:11.700 is that the

00:33:12.260 social media

00:33:12.940 influences the

00:33:15.520 election.

00:33:15.880 that is an

00:33:17.460 enormous problem.

00:33:19.600 And then you've

00:33:20.060 got this

00:33:20.580 monopoly thing.

00:33:23.620 Yeah, I get

00:33:24.180 that it's the

00:33:24.720 law.

00:33:25.520 I understand

00:33:26.320 the concept of

00:33:27.320 not wanting

00:33:27.840 monopolies as a

00:33:28.980 general thing.

00:33:30.200 I have a degree

00:33:31.440 in economics.

00:33:32.420 I'm no fan of

00:33:33.160 monopolies.

00:33:35.100 But am I

00:33:36.800 watching my

00:33:37.460 government go

00:33:38.100 after the

00:33:38.780 smallest problem

00:33:39.680 they could

00:33:40.060 identify?

00:33:41.320 Because this

00:33:42.060 is not my

00:33:43.180 problem.

00:33:44.160 I don't

00:33:44.860 really care.

00:33:46.700 that Facebook

00:33:47.240 bought its

00:33:47.840 competitors.

00:33:49.100 I don't really

00:33:49.900 care that my

00:33:51.560 friend who

00:33:52.040 worked for

00:33:52.480 WhatsApp made

00:33:53.600 so much money

00:33:54.800 that it's hard

00:33:56.820 to count it.

00:33:58.100 I don't care.

00:33:59.100 I'm happy for

00:33:59.660 my friend.

00:34:00.900 He worked for

00:34:01.720 a startup which

00:34:02.460 was intended.

00:34:03.960 Everybody expected.

00:34:05.100 One of the ways

00:34:05.760 they would exit is

00:34:07.000 selling to a big

00:34:08.500 platform, and then

00:34:09.280 he did, and he

00:34:09.920 made a ton of

00:34:10.600 money.

00:34:11.340 I'm happy for

00:34:12.000 my friend.

00:34:13.940 I'm just not

00:34:14.700 happy that they

00:34:15.300 controlled the

00:34:15.800 election.

00:34:17.100 So that's an

00:34:18.020 interesting

00:34:18.480 misdirection going

00:34:19.620 on there.

00:34:21.040 So what's

00:34:23.960 interesting,

00:34:24.460 though, is

00:34:24.840 that 48

00:34:26.640 states are

00:34:27.500 suing Facebook

00:34:28.200 over this,

00:34:29.160 which means

00:34:29.720 that it's not

00:34:30.500 Republican and

00:34:31.400 it's not

00:34:31.960 Democrat.

00:34:33.200 Apparently,

00:34:34.480 everybody in

00:34:35.100 the government

00:34:35.480 likes to beat

00:34:36.160 up on Facebook

00:34:36.840 on this point,

00:34:38.680 as opposed to

00:34:39.940 anything that I

00:34:40.640 care about.

00:34:41.120 YouTube has

00:34:45.600 told its

00:34:46.160 creators by

00:34:46.880 emails that

00:34:48.680 they're going

00:34:48.980 to start

00:34:49.300 removing content

00:34:50.580 about election

00:34:52.280 fraud, even

00:34:55.720 though at the

00:34:56.500 same time that

00:34:57.100 there are still

00:34:57.540 active court

00:34:58.280 cases.

00:35:00.860 Is that the

00:35:01.800 most mind-boggling

00:35:03.080 thing you've

00:35:03.800 heard today?

00:35:04.280 say that

00:35:05.360 YouTube is

00:35:07.660 literally going

00:35:08.360 to decide what

00:35:09.440 the truth is,

00:35:10.960 and then they're

00:35:11.480 going to take,

00:35:12.840 then they're going

00:35:13.460 to remove from

00:35:14.280 your site the

00:35:15.940 ones that don't

00:35:16.600 match their idea

00:35:17.580 of what is

00:35:18.120 true.

00:35:19.020 Now, I'm

00:35:20.680 going to knit,

00:35:21.640 and remember, I

00:35:22.620 said this from the

00:35:23.420 start, that at

00:35:24.820 least 95% of

00:35:26.580 all the claims

00:35:27.180 of fraud would

00:35:28.520 be BS.

00:35:29.580 At least 95%.

00:35:30.940 Would you say

00:35:32.080 that that has

00:35:32.960 borne out?

00:35:33.980 That at least

00:35:34.500 95% of the

00:35:35.620 claims you've

00:35:36.260 seen, claims,

00:35:38.360 have turned

00:35:40.080 down not to be

00:35:40.820 what you thought

00:35:41.600 they were?

00:35:42.000 I think so.

00:35:42.880 I think I hit

00:35:43.860 that prediction

00:35:45.360 pretty well.

00:35:46.420 About 95% are

00:35:47.520 not true.

00:35:48.580 But are they

00:35:50.940 all not true?

00:35:53.240 Can I not

00:35:54.340 do a, is it

00:35:56.280 not good for me

00:35:57.480 to do a YouTube

00:35:58.160 in which I say,

00:35:59.640 you know,

00:36:00.000 these areas

00:36:01.380 had results

00:36:02.960 that have a

00:36:04.180 one in one

00:36:06.140 quadrillion odds

00:36:07.400 of being natural

00:36:08.300 as opposed to

00:36:09.640 being a sign

00:36:10.600 of fraud?

00:36:11.440 Can I not

00:36:12.040 say that?

00:36:13.220 Will I be

00:36:14.020 demonetized or

00:36:15.240 removed from

00:36:16.220 YouTube if I

00:36:17.520 say the following

00:36:18.260 statement?

00:36:19.320 Because I'm

00:36:19.700 going to say

00:36:20.000 it right now

00:36:20.640 and see if I

00:36:21.800 get removed.

00:36:23.000 So I'm going

00:36:23.460 to gamble a

00:36:25.280 little bit of

00:36:25.680 money here on

00:36:27.100 this.

00:36:27.780 Would you like

00:36:28.380 me to gamble

00:36:28.860 in front of

00:36:29.360 you?

00:36:30.000 All right,

00:36:30.700 here's my

00:36:31.100 statement on

00:36:32.320 election fraud.

00:36:33.960 Because of the

00:36:35.040 nature of our

00:36:35.900 election systems

00:36:36.720 and what we've

00:36:37.920 learned about

00:36:38.520 the, at least

00:36:39.360 the potential

00:36:40.060 for fraud

00:36:40.840 and what we've

00:36:42.200 learned about

00:36:42.680 the hatred

00:36:43.200 for Orange

00:36:44.220 Hiller,

00:36:45.500 given that

00:36:46.420 setup, there's

00:36:47.720 a guarantee

00:36:48.380 of widespread

00:36:49.960 fraud.

00:36:50.880 It's guaranteed.

00:36:52.140 It can't not

00:36:52.860 happen.

00:36:53.180 So there's a

00:36:55.080 direct statement

00:36:55.900 about election

00:36:57.820 fraud from

00:37:00.020 me, very

00:37:00.560 direct.

00:37:01.640 It had to

00:37:02.280 happen.

00:37:03.580 It exists,

00:37:04.440 it's real.

00:37:05.680 There is no

00:37:06.500 evidence I'm

00:37:08.060 aware of that

00:37:09.560 we can identify

00:37:10.560 specifically enough

00:37:12.620 of it that it

00:37:13.420 would win in a

00:37:14.480 court case or

00:37:16.040 overthrow the

00:37:16.780 election.

00:37:18.060 That's true.

00:37:19.400 Wouldn't you say?

00:37:20.640 I mean, we, there

00:37:21.580 are a lot of you

00:37:22.060 who think, well,

00:37:22.600 we're close or

00:37:23.600 maybe we'll get

00:37:24.420 there or I

00:37:25.640 think, you know,

00:37:26.340 one more day and

00:37:27.260 we'll have it.

00:37:28.400 But as of today,

00:37:29.540 we haven't seen

00:37:31.100 anything that would

00:37:31.720 change the court.

00:37:33.260 We have seen

00:37:34.240 things that at

00:37:35.260 least some

00:37:35.900 members of, you

00:37:36.920 know, Congress

00:37:37.540 and the states

00:37:38.460 are saying, the

00:37:39.220 Republicans anyway,

00:37:40.480 are saying maybe

00:37:41.200 we should not

00:37:41.780 certify or maybe

00:37:42.980 we should question

00:37:43.640 the result, etc.

00:37:45.460 But that's just

00:37:46.340 the news.

00:37:47.620 The regular news

00:37:48.640 is reporting that

00:37:49.520 there are some

00:37:50.180 people talking

00:37:50.860 about that.

00:37:52.100 So, will I be

00:37:53.700 banned from

00:37:55.020 YouTube for

00:37:56.720 saying what I

00:37:57.360 just said, which

00:37:58.580 I don't believe

00:37:59.360 has any question

00:38:01.120 to it?

00:38:01.620 that the

00:38:02.860 setup gives

00:38:03.940 the opportunity

00:38:04.560 for fraud and

00:38:05.880 given the

00:38:06.320 motivation, it's

00:38:07.260 guaranteed that it

00:38:08.040 happened.

00:38:08.660 We just don't

00:38:09.380 know the specifics.

00:38:10.620 That's all.

00:38:11.740 And it probably

00:38:12.300 can't be reversed.

00:38:14.300 So we'll see.

00:38:15.040 Let's see what

00:38:15.580 happens there.

00:38:16.320 That's your

00:38:16.600 little test.

00:38:19.080 I saw a doctor,

00:38:20.920 a very qualified

00:38:21.880 doctor, but it's

00:38:23.040 not on the

00:38:23.820 major news sites.

00:38:26.340 And here's my

00:38:27.640 question to you.

00:38:28.780 Is this real?

00:38:30.000 Is the reason

00:38:30.800 that this

00:38:31.240 following story

00:38:32.080 is on minor

00:38:32.940 news sites, but

00:38:34.320 not major ones?

00:38:36.140 Is there a

00:38:36.620 good reason for

00:38:37.360 this?

00:38:37.720 So here's the

00:38:38.200 story.

00:38:39.360 There's a

00:38:39.880 doctor, Dr.

00:38:41.100 Pierre Corey.

00:38:42.000 He's a

00:38:42.380 physician at

00:38:43.220 St. Luke's

00:38:44.240 Medical Center

00:38:45.320 in Milwaukee.

00:38:46.320 And he and a

00:38:47.000 group of other

00:38:47.620 highly qualified

00:38:48.420 doctors, and the

00:38:49.400 highly qualified

00:38:50.120 is important to

00:38:50.980 the story.

00:38:52.220 Highly qualified.

00:38:53.940 Really, really

00:38:54.660 know their stuff.

00:38:55.900 And they decided

00:38:56.780 that since the

00:38:57.440 government was not

00:38:58.340 doing this, they

00:38:59.320 would do it.

00:38:59.800 which is to do

00:39:01.100 a deep dive on

00:39:02.160 all existing

00:39:03.100 medicines to

00:39:04.500 see if there's

00:39:05.000 something that

00:39:05.480 exists already

00:39:06.320 that could work.

00:39:08.200 Now, I think I

00:39:08.820 heard that this

00:39:09.580 group, or at

00:39:10.560 least this one

00:39:11.100 doctor, was

00:39:12.760 behind the, was

00:39:14.880 it the, what's

00:39:19.620 the name of the

00:39:20.200 category of drugs

00:39:21.360 that are working

00:39:22.180 against COVID, if

00:39:23.740 you have a bad

00:39:24.340 case of it, the

00:39:25.200 steroids?

00:39:26.080 Steroids?

00:39:27.400 Is it the

00:39:27.900 steroids?

00:39:29.260 But, so I

00:39:30.160 think he's, he

00:39:31.100 already has

00:39:33.080 credibility as

00:39:34.020 somebody who

00:39:34.480 found that these

00:39:35.600 steroids, I may be

00:39:36.760 using the wrong

00:39:37.280 word, whatever,

00:39:37.920 where, yeah,

00:39:38.880 steroids, right?

00:39:40.660 He found that

00:39:41.600 those would be

00:39:42.120 effective in a

00:39:42.860 certain kind of

00:39:43.500 patient that's

00:39:44.340 gotten to a

00:39:45.000 certain point.

00:39:45.940 So he's got lots

00:39:47.800 of credibility.

00:39:49.320 All right?

00:39:49.660 So it's really

00:39:50.340 important that you

00:39:51.060 know that this is

00:39:52.780 not a doctor like

00:39:54.220 the ones who

00:39:55.460 were mocked for

00:39:56.200 coming on Fox

00:39:57.000 News, who were

00:39:58.140 also real doctors,

00:39:59.300 by the way.

00:40:00.340 The ones who

00:40:00.860 were mocked on

00:40:01.620 Fox News for

00:40:02.560 hydroxychloroquine,

00:40:03.900 real doctors with

00:40:05.620 real credentials, and

00:40:07.040 there were multiple

00:40:07.720 of them.

00:40:08.540 But they all got

00:40:09.180 mocked, right?

00:40:10.680 Because Trump liked

00:40:11.860 that drug, so that

00:40:12.600 was impossible.

00:40:14.840 But here we have

00:40:15.520 somebody who's not

00:40:16.420 only has that kind

00:40:18.060 of credential as a

00:40:18.900 medical professional,

00:40:20.020 but is already a

00:40:21.060 track record of

00:40:22.140 succeeding, finding

00:40:24.620 some recommendations

00:40:25.480 that made a

00:40:26.580 gigantic difference

00:40:27.760 in coronavirus

00:40:30.040 treatment.

00:40:31.020 So this is a

00:40:31.660 real credible

00:40:32.120 person, worked

00:40:33.260 with other

00:40:33.640 credible people,

00:40:34.480 and has decided

00:40:35.160 that this drug

00:40:36.000 Ivermectin, which

00:40:37.880 already exists,

00:40:39.080 it's, I think

00:40:41.220 there are several

00:40:42.020 companies that make

00:40:42.760 it in generic form

00:40:43.820 already, so it's

00:40:44.880 already generic.

00:40:47.600 Somebody says

00:40:48.600 dexamethasone,

00:40:50.140 you know what I

00:40:52.940 mean, yeah, so

00:40:55.060 those are the

00:40:55.460 ones that do

00:40:56.840 work.

00:40:57.920 So Ivermectin, he

00:40:59.920 says there have

00:41:00.820 been recent studies

00:41:01.860 that even though you

00:41:04.060 can't get to

00:41:04.760 certainty, like we

00:41:05.960 don't have enough

00:41:06.980 time and data to

00:41:09.340 really, really,

00:41:10.140 really, really know,

00:41:11.720 but he says that

00:41:12.540 there's so much, and

00:41:13.660 it's so much in the

00:41:14.660 same direction, that

00:41:16.260 it's sort of a

00:41:16.960 no-brainer that it

00:41:18.620 works, according to

00:41:20.420 this doctor.

00:41:21.420 Now, here's the

00:41:22.300 tough part, and he

00:41:24.460 says directly that

00:41:25.580 even if you had

00:41:26.360 looked into this in

00:41:27.280 August of this

00:41:28.540 year, in August of

00:41:30.440 this year, when

00:41:31.340 science was looking

00:41:32.820 into it, they

00:41:33.340 looked at Ivermectin,

00:41:34.480 and they decided

00:41:35.560 that it was not

00:41:38.560 quite right.

00:41:40.000 One of the

00:41:40.340 problems was that

00:41:41.600 it would only work

00:41:42.360 at a dose too

00:41:43.540 high for your

00:41:44.600 body to handle

00:41:45.360 it.

00:41:45.580 So it might

00:41:47.600 work in theory,

00:41:48.580 but you couldn't

00:41:49.040 put that much of

00:41:49.760 it in your body

00:41:50.340 without hurting

00:41:50.880 yourself.

00:41:51.700 So that's what we

00:41:52.600 thought in August.

00:41:54.080 So here's the

00:41:54.740 problem.

00:41:56.020 Once you know

00:41:56.920 something is true,

00:41:58.380 it's really hard to

00:41:59.920 change your mind.

00:42:01.540 It's hard for the

00:42:02.220 public, the news,

00:42:03.260 to wrap its head

00:42:03.880 around that August

00:42:05.820 was a million years

00:42:06.920 ago.

00:42:07.860 So apparently what

00:42:08.960 we've learned from

00:42:10.500 August, where the

00:42:11.820 evidence was

00:42:13.320 suggesting you

00:42:14.280 shouldn't try it,

00:42:15.880 to now, is a

00:42:17.660 whole bunch of

00:42:18.500 news, like a

00:42:19.820 whole bunch of

00:42:20.280 data, that is all

00:42:21.480 positive.

00:42:22.800 Just all positive,

00:42:24.660 according to this

00:42:25.860 doctor.

00:42:26.840 So according to

00:42:27.620 this doctor, and

00:42:28.580 I'm not making this

00:42:29.580 claim, I'll just

00:42:30.240 report what he

00:42:30.900 said, this is so

00:42:33.380 effective that it

00:42:34.240 effectively ends the

00:42:35.520 pandemic.

00:42:37.040 So there's a real

00:42:38.380 live doctor with

00:42:39.620 real qualifications.

00:42:40.960 Doesn't mean he's

00:42:41.500 right, right?

00:42:42.780 We can all be

00:42:44.040 subject to

00:42:44.700 confirmation bias.

00:42:46.200 Doesn't matter how

00:42:46.960 qualified you are, you

00:42:48.000 can still be subject

00:42:48.820 to confirmation bias.

00:42:50.980 But here's a guy I'm

00:42:53.900 not going to ignore.

00:42:55.280 I'm not going to

00:42:55.920 ignore this guy.

00:42:56.880 I really, really want

00:42:58.120 to know if this

00:42:59.680 works.

00:43:00.560 And since it's

00:43:01.020 widely available, we

00:43:02.640 could be 30 days

00:43:04.400 away from being done

00:43:05.340 with this if he's

00:43:06.620 right.

00:43:06.880 So, now the

00:43:09.640 history of this

00:43:10.860 kind of thing being

00:43:11.760 right is very low,

00:43:12.780 right?

00:43:13.480 Most of the time

00:43:14.460 these turn out to be

00:43:15.420 dead ends, but

00:43:16.300 it makes me feel

00:43:18.000 good to talk about

00:43:18.740 them.

00:43:19.360 You all saw the

00:43:20.000 story of the

00:43:20.740 Michigan representative

00:43:22.560 who threatened

00:43:23.460 Trump supporters in

00:43:24.960 a video.

00:43:26.560 Let me read to you

00:43:27.620 what a Michigan, I

00:43:29.560 guess her name was 1.00

00:43:30.140 Cynthia Johnson,

00:43:31.760 Michigan representative

00:43:33.180 said this, quote,

00:43:34.780 so this is just a

00:43:36.360 warning to you

00:43:37.140 Trumpers, be

00:43:38.620 careful, walk

00:43:40.160 lightly, we ain't

00:43:41.920 playing with you,

00:43:43.220 Michigan state

00:43:43.860 representative Johnson

00:43:44.800 said in the video.

00:43:46.140 And then she went

00:43:46.700 on, enough of the

00:43:48.280 shenanigans, enough

00:43:49.480 is enough.

00:43:50.260 And for those of

00:43:51.120 you who are soldiers,

00:43:53.020 you know how to do

00:43:53.980 it.

00:43:54.740 Do it right.

00:43:56.000 Be in order.

00:43:57.540 Make them pay.

00:43:59.700 So she was actually

00:44:00.740 calling for people

00:44:02.080 with training and

00:44:04.240 violence, soldiers,

00:44:06.360 to make Trump

00:44:08.880 supporters pay in

00:44:10.700 this country.

00:44:12.620 She was literally

00:44:13.580 a government

00:44:15.080 employee recommending

00:44:17.340 violence against

00:44:19.100 citizens in this

00:44:20.140 country.

00:44:21.560 Now, the

00:44:23.960 politicians in

00:44:24.820 their state acted

00:44:25.920 quickly.

00:44:26.480 The Speaker of the

00:44:27.300 House immediately

00:44:29.000 stripped Representative

00:44:30.520 Johnson of all of 0.93

00:44:31.740 her committee

00:44:32.160 duties.

00:44:34.340 Uh, that's not

00:44:36.480 enough.

00:44:39.100 Uh, uh, no, no,

00:44:45.040 that's not enough.

00:44:47.680 Let me tell you how

00:44:48.720 not enough that is.

00:44:50.160 Fuck you.

00:44:52.000 Fuck you.

00:44:54.060 She needs to lose 0.90

00:44:55.020 her job right away.

00:44:57.060 Right away.

00:44:57.920 You need to change

00:44:59.420 the fucking locks on

00:45:00.700 her place.

00:45:01.880 Like, even if you

00:45:02.600 can't get rid of her

00:45:03.460 with some, you know,

00:45:05.300 system, you know, if

00:45:06.620 the system doesn't

00:45:07.680 allow quickly to get

00:45:09.460 rid of her, change

00:45:10.840 the locks.

00:45:12.780 Change the locks.

00:45:14.340 Because she doesn't

00:45:15.440 get to go to work

00:45:16.180 anymore after this

00:45:17.760 bullshit.

00:45:18.940 All right.

00:45:19.460 So, I don't know

00:45:20.600 what can happen to

00:45:21.440 her, but losing her

00:45:22.480 committee assignments

00:45:23.400 isn't really close to

00:45:26.160 what needs to happen.

00:45:27.600 We're not in the

00:45:28.580 same galaxy with

00:45:29.640 that, just to be

00:45:31.540 clear.

00:45:32.560 Now, here, let me

00:45:33.340 tell you what the

00:45:33.840 big story is to me.

00:45:36.000 The big story is not

00:45:37.440 that there was this

00:45:38.180 one person who said

00:45:39.060 this one thing,

00:45:39.900 because we live in a

00:45:40.680 big world of crazy

00:45:41.620 people.

00:45:42.300 There's always going

00:45:42.960 to be somebody

00:45:44.260 saying crazy things

00:45:45.260 you don't like.

00:45:46.480 Here's the part that

00:45:47.580 just is chilling.

00:45:51.300 She lives in a

00:45:52.500 world, meaning that

00:45:54.360 whatever, um,

00:45:55.940 information comes to

00:45:57.280 her, whoever she

00:45:58.740 talks to, she lives

00:46:00.620 in an environment or

00:46:02.040 a reality in which

00:46:03.920 she didn't think she

00:46:05.200 would get in trouble

00:46:06.080 for recommending

00:46:07.800 physical violence

00:46:09.240 against Trump

00:46:10.880 supporters in public.

00:46:12.560 As an elected

00:46:13.700 person, she thought

00:46:16.140 that as an elected

00:46:17.080 person, she could

00:46:19.140 suggest violence

00:46:20.260 against citizens who

00:46:22.460 had nothing but a

00:46:23.420 political difference of

00:46:24.320 opinion.

00:46:25.740 Now, that's the

00:46:27.080 story.

00:46:27.880 The story isn't that

00:46:28.840 she said it, because

00:46:30.620 people do bad things

00:46:32.220 all the time.

00:46:32.740 That's no story.

00:46:34.000 The story is she

00:46:35.520 didn't think there

00:46:36.260 was anything wrong

00:46:37.080 with it.

00:46:38.820 Didn't think there

00:46:39.680 was anything wrong

00:46:40.480 with it.

00:46:41.840 Probably thought she

00:46:43.020 was helping.

00:46:44.400 In her own mind,

00:46:46.200 might have actually

00:46:47.200 believed this was

00:46:49.980 good for the world.

00:46:50.700 think about that.

00:46:52.860 Think about the

00:46:53.760 level of brainwashing

00:46:55.020 that's happened that

00:46:56.260 somebody could think,

00:46:57.320 well, I'll just say

00:46:57.880 this in public.

00:46:58.840 What could happen?

00:47:01.860 That part just makes

00:47:03.220 my head explode.

00:47:04.960 And, you know, of

00:47:05.620 course, that'll get

00:47:06.440 buried a little bit in

00:47:07.400 the story because it's

00:47:08.100 going to be about her.

00:47:09.380 It shouldn't really be

00:47:10.380 about her.

00:47:11.480 I mean, something has

00:47:12.160 to happen there.

00:47:13.140 But it should be the

00:47:14.180 bigger picture, which

00:47:15.100 is, why did she think

00:47:17.060 that that was even maybe

00:47:18.040 a little bit okay to

00:47:19.280 say?

00:47:20.120 I don't think she was

00:47:21.240 even a little bit

00:47:22.020 worried.

00:47:23.040 Do you?

00:47:23.840 Do you think she was

00:47:24.800 worried after she posted

00:47:26.200 that, that somebody

00:47:27.100 would find that that

00:47:28.620 went too far?

00:47:29.700 I don't think she was

00:47:30.860 worried.

00:47:31.920 I think she thought

00:47:32.900 that that was acceptable

00:47:34.260 public discourse.

00:47:36.440 That's the part of the

00:47:37.480 story that isn't

00:47:38.280 getting covered.

00:47:40.880 Speaking of CNN

00:47:41.880 creating problems and

00:47:43.200 then assigning it to

00:47:45.280 supporters, here's the

00:47:48.460 funniest one that I've

00:47:49.320 seen lately.

00:47:50.780 They're talking about

00:47:51.580 the denialism, they

00:47:53.160 call it, in the Trump

00:47:54.640 camp.

00:47:55.520 And they're making two

00:47:56.360 points.

00:47:56.800 One is the denialism

00:47:57.980 about the election being

00:47:59.920 fraud-free and being

00:48:00.980 done.

00:48:01.640 And the other is what

00:48:02.420 they call the denialism

00:48:03.680 about COVID being real.

00:48:07.100 Now, I suppose you could

00:48:08.460 add on top of it being

00:48:09.640 real, that it's not as

00:48:11.880 bad as people think.

00:48:13.000 So that would be what

00:48:13.860 they call the

00:48:14.360 denialism.

00:48:14.960 And they offer this one

00:48:19.120 article on CNN, offers

00:48:20.900 three reasons that

00:48:22.620 connect the two kinds 0.99

00:48:24.660 of denialism.

00:48:25.900 So why is it that

00:48:26.800 Trump supporters would

00:48:27.800 deny two things, not

00:48:29.880 just one thing?

00:48:30.840 If it were just one

00:48:31.720 thing, then you say

00:48:32.400 maybe it's about the

00:48:34.160 information or the data

00:48:35.400 about that one thing.

00:48:36.520 But if you've got two

00:48:37.600 separate things that CNN

00:48:39.720 is presenting as facts

00:48:41.200 that Trump supporters say

00:48:43.620 just don't exist, here

00:48:46.340 are the reasons that

00:48:47.320 CNN proposes for why

00:48:49.060 that could be.

00:48:51.220 Would you guess that

00:48:52.320 it's President Trump's

00:48:53.280 fault?

00:48:53.700 Of course.

00:48:55.300 They say that President

00:48:56.380 Trump won't admit defeat

00:48:57.760 in the election.

00:48:58.880 So, you know, there's

00:49:00.180 and he won't admit any

00:49:02.440 missteps in COVID,

00:49:04.500 creating a bedrock of

00:49:05.900 inaccuracy.

00:49:06.680 All right, so they're

00:49:07.160 building their case.

00:49:08.640 So now President Trump

00:49:09.940 says things that CNN

00:49:11.160 says are not true.

00:49:12.160 and therefore he's

00:49:13.520 created a bedrock, a

00:49:15.200 bedrock of inaccuracy.

00:49:16.880 All right, now they're

00:49:17.380 going to build their

00:49:18.440 case on that.

00:49:19.500 So they've started with

00:49:20.500 the bedrock of

00:49:21.280 inaccuracy.

00:49:22.180 Number two, the

00:49:24.540 democratization of

00:49:26.180 information.

00:49:26.980 So they're saying that

00:49:27.560 information can come

00:49:28.480 through the internet as

00:49:30.120 well as through the

00:49:30.960 gatekeepers of the

00:49:32.020 professional news.

00:49:33.480 So you've got a bedrock

00:49:34.820 of inaccuracy and you've

00:49:36.780 got all this stuff that

00:49:37.620 comes in through the

00:49:38.300 internet that's unfiltered.

00:49:40.000 All right, that's two.

00:49:40.520 And three, as the

00:49:42.460 country gets more tribal,

00:49:44.500 people just like to have

00:49:45.900 villains, good guys and

00:49:47.220 bad guys, so they just

00:49:48.160 take sides.

00:49:49.700 So those are those three

00:49:51.060 answers.

00:49:51.740 And those are the three

00:49:52.580 reasons they give that

00:49:53.640 collectively we create an

00:49:55.880 environment in which

00:49:56.660 Republicans uniquely are

00:49:58.820 denialists and they deny

00:50:00.200 that the election was real

00:50:01.480 and that COVID was real.

00:50:03.280 So that's their

00:50:05.040 explanation.

00:50:05.600 Let me add my own

00:50:09.220 explanation.

00:50:11.660 Why, what other reason

00:50:14.160 could you think of?

00:50:16.600 What other reason?

00:50:18.320 Would Trump supporters deny

00:50:20.720 that the election was fair?

00:50:25.500 Could it be because there's

00:50:27.580 no chance it was fair?

00:50:30.040 Could be, could be.

00:50:32.900 What would be another

00:50:34.440 explanation?

00:50:36.220 Well, I'll just put this

00:50:37.560 out there.

00:50:38.880 One possible explanation

00:50:40.780 for why Republicans don't

00:50:43.420 believe the news they see

00:50:44.600 on CNN is that CNN has been

00:50:47.480 feeding them fake news for

00:50:49.860 four years.

00:50:51.700 If your source of this

00:50:53.380 information is literally

00:50:55.360 something called fake news,

00:50:57.680 news, is it really a surprise

00:51:01.960 that if some real news were

00:51:04.000 to come along, allegedly, that

00:51:06.840 people wouldn't believe it?

00:51:08.700 Let me ask you this.

00:51:10.320 If you had watched the, let,

00:51:12.020 just the political news on

00:51:13.440 CNN for four years and you

00:51:15.640 had simply made this one

00:51:16.880 adjustment in your thinking,

00:51:18.680 that the real news is the

00:51:20.360 opposite of whatever they

00:51:21.680 report, would you have had a

00:51:23.980 better idea of what happened

00:51:25.420 in the world or worse?

00:51:27.200 If in political topics,

00:51:29.340 every time they reported the

00:51:30.920 news, you said to yourself,

00:51:32.340 it's probably opposite of

00:51:34.060 that.

00:51:35.380 Which would have been a better

00:51:36.820 picture of the world?

00:51:37.680 It's the opposite one.

00:51:38.980 It really is.

00:51:40.200 If you had just said,

00:51:41.440 uh, Russia collusion,

00:51:43.540 okay, they're saying it

00:51:44.320 happened, okay, it didn't.

00:51:46.240 Just that kind of stuff.

00:51:47.440 Just, just the reverse

00:51:48.480 every single time.

00:51:49.440 Now, you would have been a

00:51:51.840 lot closer to the truth.

00:51:53.980 And now, I've saved my best

00:51:55.840 point.

00:51:57.280 Aren't you glad you waited?

00:51:58.900 Here's my best point.

00:52:01.400 I prepare you now.

00:52:06.060 You may know, of course you

00:52:07.820 know, that the media has been

00:52:09.760 accusing President Trump of,

00:52:11.480 uh, over, what is the count?

00:52:13.380 22,000 lies.

00:52:15.820 25,000 lies.

00:52:17.220 Something like that.

00:52:18.880 So, in CNN's view of the

00:52:21.460 world, uh, Trump has lied

00:52:23.580 22,000 times, and therefore

00:52:25.380 people don't know what to

00:52:27.240 believe.

00:52:27.960 So, Trump is, Trump has

00:52:29.920 polluted things to the point

00:52:31.100 where, um, his base will

00:52:33.040 disbelieve anything in the news

00:52:34.660 because of all that Trump

00:52:35.780 lies.

00:52:36.420 But let me ask you this, and

00:52:38.020 here is my best point.

00:52:40.040 Has anybody tried to count the

00:52:43.300 number of lies on CNN?

00:52:47.220 No.

00:52:48.880 Nobody has.

00:52:50.020 What do you think they'd

00:52:50.840 get?

00:52:51.720 CNN is on all day long.

00:52:54.220 How many times has CNN said

00:52:56.220 just the fine people hoax?

00:52:58.820 Just that one thing.

00:53:00.720 How many lies have they told

00:53:02.140 just about the fine people?

00:53:05.020 Thousands?

00:53:06.360 Thousands, wouldn't you say?

00:53:07.740 Wouldn't you say that there

00:53:08.620 are at least a thousand times

00:53:10.760 that they've lied just on that

00:53:11.920 one lie?

00:53:12.380 Now, add in Russia collusion.

00:53:16.040 What does the number get to

00:53:17.720 if you add Russia collusion?

00:53:19.900 Tens of thousands.

00:53:21.660 If you look at all their

00:53:22.900 programming, all the hours, all

00:53:24.520 the, all the commenters,

00:53:25.980 probably tens of thousands.

00:53:28.340 Nobody has ever fucking

00:53:30.320 counted the number of lies in

00:53:33.020 the mainstream news.

00:53:34.720 So let's count them.

00:53:36.760 Let's compare them.

00:53:38.180 And maybe every time somebody

00:53:39.460 says, President Trump told

00:53:41.020 25,000 lies, which in his case

00:53:43.220 are generally hyperbole, you

00:53:45.760 know, for some good

00:53:46.740 persuasion purpose.

00:53:49.140 Whereas the news is just

00:53:50.620 lying to you.

00:53:52.320 And I know it would be more

00:53:55.300 than 22,000.

00:53:56.700 Why did we let them get away

00:53:58.280 with four years of telling us

00:54:00.680 that one person was lying

00:54:02.040 without anybody counting how

00:54:04.080 many times they lied?

00:54:05.760 I mean, it's a lot of work

00:54:06.700 and there's a lot of opinion.

00:54:08.100 Now, when they say that

00:54:09.780 President Trump is lying,

00:54:10.880 it's also opinion.

00:54:12.560 Because they would say,

00:54:13.600 he said this, but we say that,

00:54:15.060 so therefore he's lying.

00:54:16.080 No, it just means that you

00:54:17.560 say different things.

00:54:19.100 It doesn't necessarily mean

00:54:20.560 he's lying.

00:54:21.680 It just might mean that you

00:54:22.940 don't report the same fact.

00:54:25.640 So, that's what I would like

00:54:30.020 to see.

00:54:30.360 I'd like to see the

00:54:31.100 mainstream news fact-checked

00:54:33.880 and count how many lies they

00:54:35.620 have and then maybe I could

00:54:38.560 explain to you why Trump

00:54:40.800 supporters reflexively,

00:54:44.680 reflexively assume that

00:54:47.080 whatever is on the news

00:54:48.160 is the opposite.

00:54:49.840 So, after spending four years

00:54:51.860 of opposite news and then

00:54:54.020 a virus comes along and then

00:54:55.920 they treat the virus, you know,

00:54:57.880 right, just say, hey, this is

00:54:59.540 really a real virus and it's

00:55:01.040 deadly, it might be the first

00:55:03.460 true thing they said.

00:55:05.880 What the hell is all the

00:55:07.700 people who have been deluged

00:55:10.060 by fake news for four years,

00:55:11.460 what are they supposed to

00:55:12.420 think?

00:55:13.680 They just reflexively say if

00:55:15.540 CNN says it, it can't be

00:55:16.780 true.

00:55:17.460 Because they have a whole,

00:55:18.680 you know, four years of

00:55:19.700 knowing that that's the

00:55:20.540 pattern.

00:55:22.020 Don't expect people to break

00:55:23.940 pattern.

00:55:24.860 It's hard to do.

00:55:28.540 Somebody says, but it isn't

00:55:29.940 true.

00:55:30.240 It is a low risk.

00:55:34.100 Well, it can be a low risk

00:55:35.880 and kill millions of people.

00:55:37.880 Is there anybody who would

00:55:38.920 disagree with the statement

00:55:40.180 that something could be a

00:55:41.680 very low risk, let's say the

00:55:43.680 coronavirus, while also

00:55:45.540 killing millions of people?

00:55:48.380 As long as both of those are

00:55:50.020 true, you saying it's a low

00:55:53.000 risk doesn't say anything.

00:55:56.020 If you say it's a low risk,

00:55:57.960 therefore we should not treat

00:55:59.600 it like it's important, well,

00:56:01.280 you're stupid. 0.99

00:56:02.720 All right.

00:56:03.180 Unfortunately, there's no way

00:56:04.800 around that.

00:56:05.280 That would just be stupid.

00:56:06.740 It's a low risk for the

00:56:09.240 population in general.

00:56:10.600 That population in general is

00:56:12.320 not necessarily you.

00:56:13.840 Now, if you're 12 years old,

00:56:16.700 yeah, you could treat it like

00:56:17.840 it's not a risk.

00:56:19.420 It might kill grandma if you

00:56:20.720 do, but if you're 12, it

00:56:22.320 probably won't kill you.

00:56:23.640 If you're me, you've got a

00:56:25.440 comorbidity, if you're over

00:56:28.160 60 with a comorbidity, asthma

00:56:30.140 in my case, do you treat

00:56:32.700 that like it's low risk?

00:56:35.660 I treat it like it's one risk

00:56:37.500 I can control, so I'm going

00:56:39.740 to.

00:56:40.540 I can control it in a little

00:56:43.140 bit.

00:56:43.440 I can't control it totally, but

00:56:45.000 I'm going to do what I can do.

00:56:46.300 So don't be fooled by saying

00:56:47.800 it's a 99.999% chance that

00:56:50.480 you'll survive.

00:56:51.080 That is unrelated to whether

00:56:54.000 it's a big problem.

00:56:55.780 You get that, right?

00:56:56.920 Does everybody get that those

00:56:59.360 two things can be true?

00:57:01.160 That 99.999% of you will have

00:57:04.140 no problem at all, at the

00:57:06.140 same time, with no conflict

00:57:08.220 whatsoever, it's a gigantic

00:57:10.220 global problem.

00:57:11.640 You get that, right?

00:57:12.820 Those are not conflicts.

00:57:14.560 Those are saying the same

00:57:15.520 thing, just two facts.

00:57:17.520 Now I'm being blamed for being

00:57:24.080 bad at math by somebody who's

00:57:26.080 literally named Jim Davis.

00:57:28.160 That's right.

00:57:29.220 The most common insult I get

00:57:31.160 is, oh, you're the creator of

00:57:33.580 Garfield, go back to drawing

00:57:35.260 your cat.

00:57:36.180 The most common criticism I get.

00:57:38.920 The one critic I choose to read

00:57:41.160 out of that list, his name is

00:57:43.800 Jim Davis, the same as.

00:57:45.480 I don't think it's Jim Davis, the

00:57:46.860 creator of Garfield, but the name

00:57:49.000 of the creator of Garfield, the

00:57:50.700 only one I saw.

00:57:51.760 How did I start this periscope?

00:57:54.580 I started it by saying, you're

00:57:57.260 going to see name repeats.

00:57:59.600 That's how I started.

00:58:01.580 And there it was.

00:58:03.080 You're watching it right in front

00:58:04.320 of you.

00:58:05.300 That's a name repeat right there.

00:58:07.620 Of all the names in the world, I

00:58:09.540 only read one.

00:58:11.300 And of all these names that went

00:58:12.560 by, I only read one, and I

00:58:14.480 didn't see the name first.

00:58:15.760 I saw the comment first, and

00:58:17.440 then I noticed the name.

00:58:20.920 I'm just saying.

00:58:22.260 I'm just saying.

00:58:23.380 Now, this, of course, is more of

00:58:26.580 a demonstration of confirmation

00:58:29.040 bias, is what it is.

00:58:31.700 Maybe it's the simulation, which

00:58:33.320 would be fun.

00:58:34.540 But watch how much I can prime you,

00:58:37.140 because I'm doing it intentionally.

00:58:38.960 I'm priming you to see name

00:58:40.720 repeats.

00:58:42.400 Watch how often you see it.

00:58:44.360 This should teach you that in

00:58:46.400 other situations where I don't

00:58:47.820 tell you in advance, I'm going to

00:58:49.280 prime you for confirmation bias.

00:58:51.980 I'm a trained hypnotist, if anybody

00:58:54.000 doesn't know that already.

00:58:55.400 I'm a trained hypnotist.

00:58:57.200 I'm priming you right now.

00:59:01.360 I'm priming you for confirmation

00:59:03.160 bias.

00:59:04.080 You're going to see name

00:59:05.260 repeats.

00:59:05.740 When you do, and you will, tell

00:59:10.100 yourself, oh, this is how

00:59:12.700 everything works.

00:59:14.740 Everything is priming me.

00:59:17.000 Almost everything I think is true

00:59:18.520 is confirmation bias.

00:59:20.280 And once you see it with this

00:59:21.460 little experiment, you'll be able

00:59:23.600 to more easily recognize that you

00:59:25.500 might be in it in some future time

00:59:27.340 when I don't tell you you're in

00:59:29.100 it.

00:59:29.460 I'm telling you you're in it right

00:59:31.200 now.

00:59:31.420 You can depend on the fact you

00:59:34.060 will, you will experience

00:59:35.780 confirmation bias on this name

00:59:38.160 repeating thing.

00:59:39.000 It's going to happen.

00:59:40.880 All right.

00:59:41.780 That's all for now.

00:59:42.880 I'll talk to you tomorrow.

00:59:44.700 And those of you on YouTube, you have

00:59:52.120 another minute or so of my...

00:59:55.160 So even the story about the

00:59:56.580 representative, Cindy Johnson.

00:59:59.440 Cindy Johnson is the name of one of 0.80

01:00:01.920 my classmates when I grew up.

01:00:04.560 You know, a prompt, sort of a big

01:00:07.340 name in my childhood was Cynthia

01:00:09.300 Johnson.

01:00:10.380 And that's the name in the news.

01:00:11.720 Again, it's confirmation bias, but

01:00:14.760 it's funny.

01:00:21.520 Somebody says, are Trump supporters

01:00:23.360 smart enough to know lies from

01:00:25.540 facts?

01:00:26.320 Let me give you a definitive answer

01:00:29.000 to that.

01:00:29.740 Nobody is.

01:00:30.880 There's nobody who's smart enough.

01:00:32.660 If people could tell the difference

01:00:34.220 between lies and facts, there

01:00:36.540 wouldn't be lies.

01:00:37.680 Or at least nobody would lie to

01:00:39.100 smart people, but they do.

01:00:40.940 Now, nobody can tell the

01:00:42.800 difference.

01:00:43.760 And here's the way to know if

01:00:46.700 you're stupid. 0.99

01:00:47.940 There is a way.

01:00:49.640 If you think the other side is the

01:00:51.600 stupid side, that's how you know

01:00:54.360 you're the stupid one. 0.95

01:00:56.160 Because if you were smart, you would

01:00:59.260 know that whatever is going on on

01:01:00.660 your side is definitely happening on

01:01:02.680 the other side, too, and vice versa.

01:01:05.700 Whatever's happening with Democrats

01:01:07.340 that makes them unable to see simple

01:01:09.400 truth is clearly, obviously,

01:01:12.220 definitely happening with Republicans

01:01:15.000 and with independents and with

01:01:17.240 humans.

01:01:18.220 Because it's a human thing.

01:01:20.260 It has nothing to do with politics.

01:01:22.600 You know, being a Trump supporter

01:01:24.020 doesn't make you dumb.

01:01:25.780 Being dumb doesn't make you a

01:01:27.000 Trump supporter.

01:01:28.260 It doesn't work that way.

01:01:29.840 People are just dumb.

01:01:31.440 And people are in different groups.

01:01:34.260 And you're going to find some dumb

01:01:35.500 people in every group.

01:01:37.020 But the way you can know you're dumb

01:01:39.260 is to think it's the other side

01:01:41.300 that's dumb.

01:01:42.900 The moment you tell yourself it's the

01:01:44.960 other side that's dumb and my side

01:01:47.060 got it figured out, you have

01:01:48.740 identified yourself absolutely as a

01:01:51.940 dumb person. 0.82

01:01:53.060 There's no way around that.

01:01:55.280 If you want one of the few rules in

01:01:57.560 life that you could depend on, you

01:02:00.360 know, something that has 100%

01:02:02.100 predictive value.

01:02:03.460 Because very few things do, right?

01:02:05.140 Most things are like, well, maybe,

01:02:07.160 probably, whatever.

01:02:08.660 But you could say with 100%

01:02:10.280 certainty that if you believe you

01:02:12.560 were lucky and you got on the smart

01:02:14.140 side,

01:02:15.280 God, lucky.

01:02:18.280 I joined the smart team.

01:02:19.900 I'm on the Democrats.

01:02:21.280 Or I'm on the Republicans.

01:02:22.920 Thank goodness I'm not like those

01:02:24.820 guys.

01:02:25.720 As soon as you say that, you are the

01:02:27.680 dumb one. 0.55

01:02:29.180 Guaranteed.

01:02:30.700 Guaranteed you're the dumb one.

01:02:31.780 Now, if you say to yourself, we're

01:02:34.400 all being fed fake news and the

01:02:36.480 people who are consuming one kind of

01:02:38.540 fake news fall for a certain set of

01:02:40.840 lies, the people consuming another set

01:02:43.720 of fake news are likely to fall for

01:02:45.520 another set of lies, then you might be

01:02:48.100 smart.

01:02:49.360 That would be an indication of

01:02:50.580 somebody who might be smart.

01:02:52.660 But if you think it's only the other

01:02:54.420 team that's dumb, maybe a little

01:02:58.120 self-examination would be in order.

01:02:59.940 Remember, you might want to read my

01:03:01.760 book, Win Bigly, or my other book,

01:03:04.940 Loser Think, and that'll 1.00

01:03:06.280 straighten you out.

01:03:08.360 All right, that's all I've got.

01:03:09.700 I'll talk to you tomorrow.
