Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1247 Scott Adams： You Might Have Heard Trump is Banned From Twitter. What Now？

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Come on in. Come on in. You may have heard that there is some news. Thank

00:00:10.160 goodness we've gotten past the holiday season and the news is plentiful and interesting and

00:00:16.020 we can be entertained once again. I don't know how long I will be still platformed coming to

00:00:25.160 you at the moment on both the Periscope and YouTube platform simultaneously. But how long

00:00:32.000 will I still have the ability to be platformed? Probably not very long. But let's see if we

00:00:41.640 can get through today. And in order to enjoy this to its maximum potential, all you need

00:00:47.780 is a cup or mug or glass, a tanker, chalice, or stein, a canteen, jug, or plastic, a vessel

00:00:51.900 of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:59.860 of the dopamine here in the day. I think it makes everything better. Call the silent thing

00:01:04.960 you say. Oh, it seems that the, uh, there's some complaints from YouTube. Let's see what

00:01:18.220 we can do about that. YouTube, are you happy? That should make it better. All right. Um,

00:01:29.940 you know, I own some Twitter stock, full disclosure, but I don't know if it's going to go down that

00:01:38.740 much on Monday. I hear a lot of people saying that. But what exactly is the other Twitter

00:01:44.340 service you're going to use? Parler and Gab are probably going to be taken down by Apple and,

00:01:50.540 uh, the Apple Store and Google Pay. I think Gab's already taken down. So let's try this again

00:01:59.080 with sound. Okay. All you need is a cup or mug or glass, a tanker, chalice, stein, the canteen,

00:02:06.540 jug of flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with, I'm not picking a man. Simultaneously, set, go.

00:02:15.200 All right. Well, the good news is I've, uh, ordered an adapter. So this problem where I can't be

00:02:21.200 charging my iPad at the same time the microphone is plugged in should be solved by this afternoon.

00:02:28.660 Yeah, it was the best sip ever. You're right. It was the best sip ever. Let's talk about the news,

00:02:34.380 not coffee. Well, you all know that Twitter has banned Trump for eternity from Twitter. Now,

00:02:44.260 it's hard to imagine what that meeting was like. I don't know if it was a physical meeting or a Zoom

00:02:51.520 meeting, but don't you think Twitter had some kind of a management meeting to decide whether Trump

00:02:59.320 should be banned forever? Now, I think that the, uh, the justification is that he might've been,

00:03:06.240 in their opinion, fomenting some kind of, you know, uh, trouble.

00:03:13.760 But how did they do the calculation? Because leaving Trump on there to say things, you could

00:03:21.820 assess that, uh, you know, with some risk. You could say, okay, the things he says might cause more

00:03:28.000 things like the, uh, attack on the Capitol. So you don't want to have that risk. So you can reduce

00:03:34.880 it by taking him off the platform. But isn't there an offsetting risk? I mean, isn't there a risk of

00:03:42.800 actual civil war? How do you weigh those? So let's say that, uh, taking Trump off the platform,

00:03:50.780 if you were just going to go through the math of it, let's say that you believed it would be a 50%

00:03:57.660 likelihood to reduce 20 deaths because there might be more unrest. Let's say 20 people might be killed

00:04:06.880 by the time all the unrest is done. If Trump were allowed to stay on the platform and said things that

00:04:12.480 got people fired up, maybe a 50% chance of 10 people dying. Now, the way you would calculate that is

00:04:18.700 you'd say a 50% chance of 10 people dying, just for analysis purposes, you'd treat it as, uh, 10

00:04:27.740 people. So a 50% chance of 20 people dying, you'll, you'll weigh that as the value of 10 people. It's

00:04:34.920 not really 10 people. This is just how you do the analysis. And then you say, okay, but what about the

00:04:40.400 other way where you take him down and you anger 71 million people who feel that they've lost

00:04:48.180 everything that, that makes the country, the country, freedom of speech, freedom, basically the,

00:04:56.080 the freedom to have an opinion and not be punished for it. What is the risk of that? Well, I would say

00:05:00.920 the risk of that is full civil war. Wouldn't you like actual civil war, not the kind where some people

00:05:07.260 are protesting and saying things and things like that. But if you shut down the ability to

00:05:13.100 communicate, or it even feels like you did, uh, because Trump's such a big part of that communication,

00:05:19.400 what would be the expected risk? Now, I think the risk of an actual physical civil war is low,

00:05:27.080 but what is low? 5%? Let's put a number on it. Let's say 5%. Is that fair? Do you think that,

00:05:36.720 uh, shutting, uh, shutting, shutting down, uh, Trump from Twitter gives you a 5% chance of civil war

00:05:45.420 that didn't exist before? Is that too much? So let's say 5% of civil war, what is, what would be

00:05:53.000 the expected risk or number of people who might die in an actual civil war? Let's say a million.

00:05:59.880 I don't know, you know, you'd be guessing, right? Let's say a million people could die in a civil war.

00:06:04.640 So you would take 5% of a million and you would compare it to 50% of 20 and you'd say, which is

00:06:15.200 bigger? 5% of a million, it's a lot bigger. So if I were in that meeting and somebody said,

00:06:23.140 we're trying to reduce the risk to the country. And let's say it was, let's say it was, uh,

00:06:28.500 entirely non-political and it just had to do with safety or safety plus the, you know, the future

00:06:36.260 of Twitter, which would be similar. You know, if they don't, if they don't protect safety,

00:06:41.200 they're going to have to pay for that too. So if I were in the meeting, I would say it looks like

00:06:46.820 you're taking a 50% chance of 20 people dying, 10 people comparing it to, uh, what 50,000 people

00:06:55.120 dying the other way. So you've saved 10 at the cost of 50,000. Now remember, we're only talking

00:07:03.280 statistics so that 50,000 is very unlikely because it's unlikely there would be a civil war. But what if

00:07:11.020 it's a 5%, that's how you do the analysis. If it's a 5% chance more of civil war, you don't do that

00:07:19.100 if you know how to make decisions. So I asked on Twitter, um, ironically, uh, whether this would

00:07:26.620 be viewed as one of the biggest mistakes in American history. And it could, you know, it's in

00:07:33.740 that 5% range, but it could be one of the biggest mistakes in American history, actually. Now we don't

00:07:40.120 know where it's heading yet, but in terms of its potential, it's potentially one of the biggest

00:07:47.500 mistakes in all of human, well, American history, not human history. So one wonders, were there other

00:07:56.060 considerations? In other words, if it were just a business decision and it were just based on saving

00:08:03.560 the most people, is that the way you'd go? Because it looks like exactly the opposite of what you would

00:08:09.860 do if you wanted to save lives or at least reduce risk. Now it could be that if, if, you know, 10 people

00:08:16.840 died tomorrow because of something Trump did, that would look like Twitter is directly responsible.

00:08:22.280 Why didn't you do it sooner? So 10 people dying that can be blamed on you specifically,

00:08:27.660 you might take that more seriously than 50,000 people dying that maybe doesn't get blamed on

00:08:33.880 you specifically. You know what I mean? So it could be that it has to do with how blame would be

00:08:40.560 attributed. And we'll talk about that a little bit more. So I asked on Twitter, everything's sort of

00:08:49.400 meta today, but I did a Twitter poll, which of course are highly unscientific. They're just sort of

00:08:55.400 interesting. And I asked people who do they think is most responsible for the Capitol protests. Now,

00:09:02.520 when I said that, I think most people understood that to mean, you know, with the violence, not just

00:09:07.420 the peaceful part. But who is most responsible for the protests, which led to violence? And the

00:09:14.340 responders, I gave them four choices. You could argue that there should be more choices. But I said,

00:09:20.100 would it be Trump, the fake news, social media, or Congress? Now, of course, my Twitter followers

00:09:25.180 lean pro-Trump. But here's what they said. They said 13% said Trump is most responsible for the

00:09:33.100 Capitol problems. 46% said the fake news. 13% said social media, about the same as Trump. And Congress

00:09:43.680 got 29. So by far, the two entities which are blamed the most for the Capitol protests are the fake news

00:09:51.860 and social media. And social media. And social media, of course, is a booster of fake news and a creator of

00:09:57.560 fake news. So here's how I see the world. Yeah, there's a whiteboard. Yeah, didn't see this coming, did

00:10:04.820 you? Bam, whiteboard time. Coming right at you. All right, here's how I see the world. There is a blame

00:10:13.240 chain, which is to say, it's not that one person had to do what they did in order to get the result

00:10:19.560 we got. It had to be way more than one person. You had to have everything that was part of the

00:10:27.040 causal chain had to be just the way it was to get just the result you got. If you change any of those

00:10:35.580 elements, you get a different outcome. But let's say you tried to apply that thinking to a murder.

00:10:43.600 And you say, wait, wait, it's not the murderer's fault. Because all of the other things had to be

00:10:48.920 placed before that murder could happen. The victim had to be there. Well, that's not the murderer's

00:10:54.840 fault, right? So it doesn't make any sense for a criminal situation. Because when it comes to crime,

00:11:00.480 you need a specific criminal to punish so that society can see people getting punished. And so

00:11:07.760 there's a reason not to do the crime. But in the criminal situation, you're really just looking at

00:11:14.360 stopping crime. You're not philosophically asking, well, who is really responsible? Could it be the

00:11:22.500 parents of the criminal? Could it be society or the way they learn things? Could it be that they were

00:11:28.400 bullied in school? Those could all be 100% true. And they could be 100% the cause. But in the legal

00:11:36.540 world, you just say, it's just got to be the person who pulled the trigger, right? So let's agree

00:11:41.960 that an analysis about the legal system and who's to blame would be unique and you would ignore a lot

00:11:50.580 of reality because you have to for the legal system. But let's say you're just saying, in general,

00:11:56.740 whose fault is it? I'm not putting anybody in jail. It's not the court. It's just we're talking. And we're

00:12:03.960 going to say, who actually should take the blame? And here's how I see it. You've got a fake news

00:12:12.060 business, which gave us the fine people hoax, the drinking bleak chokes and nonstop bias. You can say 0.99

00:12:19.620 that it was on both sides. You can say that right was biased and fake news, but it's just different

00:12:24.220 fake news. And I won't argue with you on that. My only point is, what would things look like

00:12:31.180 if we had a reliable and credible free press? Well, when the election happened, the free press

00:12:38.940 would have done two things if they were like a real free press. They would have dug into each of

00:12:44.140 the allegations. They would have created a master list and said, here are the allegations. Here are

00:12:49.600 the people debunking it. And here are the ones that were judged in court one way or the other.

00:12:55.160 And every citizen would be able to look at that and say, oh, okay, I was quite concerned about

00:13:00.980 the integrity of the election. But now I see that the free press has done the work for me.

00:13:06.100 They've investigated. They got other experts. They've debunked. And maybe they debunked them all.

00:13:11.920 What would be the outcome if a credible press, both the left and the right, looked into it,

00:13:19.240 compiled a complete list, considered every claim, and debunked it all with experts, not themselves?

00:13:26.040 What would have been the outcome? Well, not a riot, right? Why would you riot if you knew that your

00:13:34.420 side lost fair and square? You wouldn't. You'd say, damn it, got to try harder next time we lost fair

00:13:41.440 and square. So I would say that the fake news is 100% responsible for the outcome. They created this

00:13:48.840 situation in which they took themselves out of the equation as a credible player and probably only made

00:13:55.600 things worse. I mean, you could point to elements of the press that promoted ridiculous conspiracy

00:14:02.040 theories on the right, primarily. So how does the press not get blamed for this outcome? Well,

00:14:09.880 the reason is that the press's influence is harder to trace down to any individual person.

00:14:17.140 What about social media? Social media is kind of a booster of the fake news that's full of hoaxes

00:14:22.480 and conspiracies theories. The algorithms divide us so that there's natural division that's worse than

00:14:28.760 it would be normally without it. So it's divided the country. Now, once you've divided the country

00:14:34.840 and people are just going to take sides, because that's what social media did to us, what happens

00:14:40.320 when there's any disagreement? Does the disagreement get resolved in a reasonable way where people go,

00:14:47.460 ah, I don't love it, but I'll compromise for the good of the system and stuff like that? No. No, you can't

00:14:53.740 get that. You can't get a negotiated agreement where everybody goes away and goes, ah, it wasn't perfect,

00:15:01.620 but we can live with it. You can't get that if the social media is dividing the country. People just go to

00:15:08.460 camps and they think that's where they need to be. So they've been brainwashed into this division through the

00:15:14.300 algorithms and, um, and also the social media allows protests to organize. So if you didn't have social

00:15:21.140 media, I doubt you could have been as organized as they were to, to get people there. So that's part of

00:15:27.380 it. So I'd say social media, probably, uh, if you removed social media, would the, uh, riots have happened?

00:15:36.080 I feel you could make a strong case, really strong, that without social media doing what it does

00:15:43.200 intentionally and unintentionally, you wouldn't have the riots. So are they responsible? If,

00:15:50.320 if they didn't do what they were doing, it wouldn't have happened. So are they to blame? Well,

00:15:55.540 the answer is they have a hundred percent responsibility at the same time that the fake news has a hundred

00:16:00.920 percent, because if they didn't do what they were doing, probably we wouldn't have had this outcome.

00:16:07.760 Now let's take, uh, uh, Congress and state governments. They gave us a non-transparent 0.74

00:16:14.160 election with lots of last minute changes and they resisted audits. Does this situation pretty much

00:16:22.640 guarantee that sooner or later you're going to have a election related riot? It does. It guarantees it.

00:16:29.500 Now it wouldn't necessarily guarantee it if you didn't also have social media dividing the country

00:16:37.460 and the fake news, you know, doing the same really. So is the Congress and the state governments

00:16:44.620 collectively, are they responsible for the riots? Yes. What percentage of responsibility would I give

00:16:51.220 them? A hundred percent. Because if they'd done their job and given us transparent elections or let us audit

00:16:58.180 them or not made last minute changes, which destroyed the credibility of the system, if they had not

00:17:04.240 done these things, we wouldn't have had protests. So a hundred percent blame social media, one hundred

00:17:12.400 percent blame fake news, one hundred percent blame. Any one of them could have done a good job

00:17:19.100 job or a different job or a different job and gotten a different outcome, but they didn't. They didn't.

00:17:26.740 So what about Trump's, uh, calls to protest the language he used? Was it responsible for

00:17:33.800 the bloodshed? Yes. Yes, it was because Trump easily could have done something else. He could have said,

00:17:43.580 look, absolutely no violence. I don't want to see anything like that. If you come to the, to DC,

00:17:50.080 make sure you're in the, you know, you're in the safe zones. Don't bring any lead pipes. He could have

00:17:55.580 said that, but he didn't. And so I back, um, I backed his removal from office because that was a pretty big

00:18:03.420 mistake. But I do not back Trump's removal from office without an equal amount of punishment for the

00:18:12.300 other entities, which have equal responsibility. Now, again, the way our legal system is organized

00:18:18.620 and the way we're all trained is that the last person who does something is the guilty one.

00:18:24.500 And if it were a legal case or a lawsuit, yeah, that's the way we treat it. You have to,

00:18:29.980 because there's no practical way to treat it any other way. You wouldn't really know what to do with

00:18:34.040 these other entities. It's too, too hard to trace the influence, but you know, it's there.

00:18:38.520 Right. So here's my take. Should Trump be removed from office for this specific infraction,

00:18:47.340 which probably did lead to some deaths? I'd say yes. And I think it's an easy call because he only

00:18:53.540 has a few days left in office and what was he going to do anyway? Right. And if you're going to send a

00:18:59.060 message to say presidents should not act this way, you know, to drum up any kind of attack on the

00:19:06.620 Capitol, you could argue that his exact words never said anything like that. And you'd be right.

00:19:12.120 There was nothing in his exact words that told anybody to do anything violent. But you know,

00:19:20.780 he could have played it differently, right? It's not what he said that was a problem. In my opinion,

00:19:27.760 he didn't say anything that was a problem. It's what he didn't say. It's what he could have said,

00:19:33.300 easily knew that he could have said. So I think that accepting responsibility for that is fair.

00:19:40.500 If you will also let him accept credit for things he did in his presidency, which I think were

00:19:47.200 unparalleled and incredible. But can't you hold both thoughts? Can't you say he was really good at

00:19:53.540 this? This part, not so good. That's fair, right? Is there anybody who can't hold those two thoughts?

00:19:59.700 You probably shouldn't follow me if you can't. All right, so here's my take. The scariest part about

00:20:08.500 this system I just described is that social media and the fake news, more of the fake news working

00:20:16.240 through the social media, they're the ones who can assign blame. So we have a system that if you had

00:20:23.100 designed the system from scratch, people would laugh at you. They would laugh at you. All right,

00:20:28.540 let me describe the system as if I were designing it from scratch. All right, we're gonna, I'm gonna

00:20:33.700 build a system. So we'll have something called the free press, and we'll have this thing called

00:20:37.640 the government, and there'll be a public, and this is how they'll all work together. Now there's, there's

00:20:43.560 one bug in the system, I gotta admit, and it is that one of the entities can cause the problems

00:20:51.280 in society, and they're the only ones who can distribute the blame. And I'd say, hold on, I

00:20:59.100 probably heard that wrong. Are you saying you're intentionally designing a system where the people

00:21:04.600 who are the main cause of all of our problems are also the only ones who can assign the blame?

00:21:10.220 And the person would say, yeah, yeah, that's, that's what we're doing. I go, well, hold on,

00:21:15.740 wait a minute. Do you not see a problem here? You just said that the ones who cause the problems,

00:21:22.640 let's say the fake news, you're saying they also get to blame other people for the problems that

00:21:27.380 they caused right in front of you? Yeah, that's the system. What would you do if somebody presented

00:21:34.560 you with that, that system? You'd laugh. You would literally laugh. He's like, well, that's not gonna

00:21:40.060 work. Because obviously the people causing the problems are gonna blame other people, like Trump.

00:21:46.740 Now Trump made it easy. He made it easy to blame because he didn't play it right. So that's, you know,

00:21:52.500 that's the problem with being a politician. If you make it easy, they're gonna come, they're gonna come

00:21:57.060 for you. So this is a completely unworkable system for the long run. I don't know exactly.

00:22:07.340 I don't know exactly what we're going to do to fix this. But I do expect there'll be enough ingenuity

00:22:13.980 and enough A-B testing and enough free market stuff and enough energy to probably find some

00:22:19.840 alternatives. It's just not obvious what they're going to be. Now the, the public is quite good

00:22:26.520 as solving things eventually. We're pretty good problem solvers. But I gotta say, it's not obvious

00:22:34.900 to me what you do about any of this. Because right now you see Trump losing his, effectively,

00:22:41.780 his freedom of speech by being deplatformed from Twitter. But these other entities, I don't think

00:22:48.980 they're gonna lose their freedom of speech, are they? Because they got to blame other people.

00:22:52.920 So as long as the fake news can just make stuff up, what are you gonna do? Let me suggest a

00:23:00.560 possibility. I'm just gonna brainstorm right now. We watched Trump get kicked off, not just for

00:23:08.800 inciting violence, but I think they would have kicked him off anyway for making election claims

00:23:13.640 that social media says are not true. But you know what? Social media also needs to do a little

00:23:20.820 better job on the fake news because, for example, these hoaxes, the fine people hoax, the drinking

00:23:26.500 bleach hoax, those were allowed to spread. What do you think did more damage to the country? The

00:23:33.140 fine people hoax or Trump telling people to protest in D.C., which led to the violence? Which do you

00:23:41.880 think hurt the country more? I don't think it's close. I think the fine people hoax is one of the most

00:23:49.380 damaging things that's ever happened. Not even close. It's maybe a thousand to one. You know,

00:23:56.540 I wouldn't compare them. As horrible and tragic as it is for five people to die and all those people

00:24:03.320 being injured, completely unacceptable on every level. But the fine people hoax is worse by maybe

00:24:10.700 a thousand times worse. It's not even close to what it did to this country. But social media allows that

00:24:16.480 to stand. Now, that's an obvious lie. You just look at the transcript. Oh, obvious lie. Why is that allowed

00:24:24.680 to stay? Could it be that the real way to solve this is to put pressure on social media to, wait for it,

00:24:35.320 wait for it, use their own standards? Because that's a pretty strong argument, isn't it?

00:24:42.740 Hey, social media, we'd like you to use your own rules. Just use them consistently. And I think we

00:24:51.000 would need to pick a few items. Let's say we being anybody who's concerned about the issue. Pick a few

00:24:56.400 items and just die on that hill. Just say, look, as long as you're allowing people to say that the

00:25:05.460 fine people hoax is a real thing, and that you can just say that on social media with no

00:25:11.000 repercussions. Just pick one thing and say, you need to be regulated or shut down if you can't

00:25:19.460 treat these the same. Right? Now, wouldn't you think, there's a question, would it be possible to do a

00:25:27.400 lawsuit in which you just pointed out this difference and said that it's two classes of people being treated

00:25:34.300 differently by the same company? Is that legal? One class of people being Republicans, let's say,

00:25:42.120 the other part being non-Republicans, could a social media company treat them completely differently

00:25:49.780 when their policy says, their own policy says, they don't? Their policy doesn't say anything about

00:25:58.380 Republicans and Democrats. It just says, you know, information that's terribly wrong and might be

00:26:03.500 dangerous to the country, they're going to ban. What if I agree with that? What if conservatives said,

00:26:10.340 hey, I like this? What if conservatives embraced it and said, absolutely, here's our list of other

00:26:19.360 things you should ban on your platform. And let's just go for it. Let's do it consistently. Let's do it

00:26:26.080 once. Let's do it right. Let's get rid of the following lies. Now, probably it would be good to

00:26:32.760 have a list of maybe five good lies, like the five top lies that social media allows. And you pick the

00:26:40.080 ones that are the most damaging. The ones that literally you can say, okay, that probably killed

00:26:46.280 somebody. For example, when the fake media said that President Trump was suggesting drinking bleach,

00:26:55.280 which never happened, or anything like it, nothing similar, nothing in that, nothing like it. And if

00:27:02.420 you still think that happened, you need to read up on it. But what happens when the fake media says

00:27:09.080 your president is so unscientific and dumb that he said drink bleach, which never happened?

00:27:17.500 What does that do to people's compliance? When the president says maybe you should wear masks?

00:27:22.840 He was a little reluctant, but you know, well, he got there. Do people say, yeah, I'm going to listen

00:27:29.480 to the guy who said drink bleach? No, no. They discredited Trump. So anything useful,

00:27:37.440 he might have said, and he did eventually say wear masks, didn't have any effect, because he's the

00:27:43.240 drink bleach guy, according to the media. So you could easily, I think, find strong arguments that say

00:27:49.400 that the two sides are being treated unequally, and maybe the Supreme Court would hear that.

00:27:56.700 Now, I'm not a lawyer. Is that a case? Can somebody who actually knows anything about the law,

00:28:01.520 which would not be me, tell me, could you bring a case about unequal treatment when it's so obvious?

00:28:07.440 This is the most obvious case you could ever see. There's no jury in the world

00:28:11.960 who would disagree that they're making up, you know, they're making up stuff and publishing it

00:28:18.200 like it's true. All right. So maybe that's the way to go. As we're learning more about the protests

00:28:26.200 themselves, and I have to admit, I was taking a little bit of a humorous approach to it because

00:28:34.200 there was a guy in a Viking helmet and blah, blah, blah. But when you hear the details,

00:28:39.260 there were apparently members of that group with lead pipes, and it was probably the lead pipes on

00:28:47.020 the head that injured the cops, and at least one died. And let me say this as clearly as possible.

00:28:54.200 Anybody who had a lead pipe and used it, in this situation, should be the death penalty.

00:29:03.720 You know, normally maybe not, if it was like a fight or something. But if you're trying to

00:29:08.100 overthrow the government, you know, if you attack the government with lead pipes, the government in

00:29:14.940 this case, including the security force, I don't even know if that's jail. That should be execution.

00:29:20.700 Shouldn't it? If you get all the way into the Capitol building and start killing people with a deadly

00:29:27.820 weapon, that should be death sentence. I'd be okay with that. As opposed to all the peaceful

00:29:35.920 protesters, of course not. There's some fake news going around on a video. I've told you that video

00:29:43.600 is the biggest liar. We used to think if you saw it on video, you saw it with your own eyes, and therefore

00:29:48.880 it's true. It's right there on video. But of course, the last couple years we've learned that video is

00:29:53.840 the biggest liar. It's the easiest way to lie. It's a misleading edit. And there's a video on the

00:30:02.920 internet that people are saying in the comments that what they're seeing in the video is that the law

00:30:08.940 enforcement opened up a door and let the protesters into the Capitol. So that's what the comment on the

00:30:15.500 video says. You can see it with your own eyes. There are police officers opening the door to let

00:30:21.760 people in. And then you watch the video, and nothing like that's on the video. You see a door open, but

00:30:27.860 there's no suggestion that the police did it. There was somebody on the inside, but probably a protester

00:30:34.980 who got in there and opened the door. So the ability of people to be fooled has gone to a whole new

00:30:44.400 level, it seems like. That you can actually look at the video that doesn't show that thing,

00:30:49.600 and then tweet it with a statement that says, look at that thing on this video, and it's just not there.

00:30:54.940 This is not there. What the hell? All right. Apparently, according to Rasmussen, Trump's approval is up

00:31:03.340 since the protests. What do you think Trump's approval is going to be after he gets kicked off of Twitter?

00:31:10.180 You know, he has been. I feel like it might go up. What happens to Trump's approval the less you can

00:31:19.520 hear about him tweeting? It goes up. But here's the interesting thing to me. So the things that

00:31:28.620 Trump got banned for, ultimately, were nothing you should get banned for in any of our opinions.

00:31:34.860 I mean, it's obviously subjective. But I don't think anybody thought there was any content that

00:31:40.400 was bannable. Even the ACLU, no friend of the president, even they're saying it went too far.

00:31:49.800 But apparently, one of the tweets just before he got banned was he was talking about starting a

00:31:54.980 competing platform to Twitter. Now, is it a coincidence,

00:31:58.960 is it a coincidence that as soon as Trump said something that was vital to the bottom line of

00:32:06.840 Twitter, that he was going to start a competing platform, that that's when he got kicked off of

00:32:12.900 the platform for something that didn't look like a big deal? Is that a total coincidence that he was

00:32:20.100 using Twitter to take down Twitter and they banned him? I don't think so. I mean,

00:32:27.600 I don't know if anybody was at the meeting and said it out loud, hey, Trump's talking about a

00:32:34.200 competition, let's use an excuse to kick him off. I doubted anybody said that out loud.

00:32:39.640 But if you own Twitter stock, and you see Trump talking about making your stock worth less,

00:32:48.240 which way are you going to decide? If you own Twitter stock, would you let Trump stay on there

00:32:55.180 talking about stuff that would make your stock price go down? I think you'd find a reason to

00:33:00.200 get him off, and it might not be the strongest reason, if you know what I mean, if you catch my

00:33:04.840 meaning. So I would say that everything about the way Twitter has treated that raises questions.

00:33:13.300 So Dominion Voting System is suing Sidney Powell for $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit. And I think

00:33:23.960 she's got trouble. She's got trouble because the claims that she made were really specific and

00:33:31.380 really, really debunked. So she might have a problem there. And when I saw the number suing for

00:33:39.020 $1.3 billion, I thought, well, that's like a crazy number, right? You can't sue for...

00:33:46.460 There's somebody yelling at me in all caps. Scott spelled wrong with one T in all caps.

00:33:54.260 This isn't about stocks, boomer. Did I say this was about stocks? It's one variable. It's one variable.

00:34:06.500 All caps guy. Relax. Relax. I have some advice for you. All caps guy. You'll probably see a lot of

00:34:18.120 people making comments in a public way. You know, they'll write their comment, and then it'll show up

00:34:23.000 on the screen, and then sometimes thousands or tens of thousands of people will read those comments.

00:34:27.800 That's not for you. That's not for you. You maybe should whisper to people that you know really

00:34:36.100 well. Tweeting in public? Not your strong suit. Just rethink it. That's all I'm saying. Maybe put

00:34:46.500 your energy somewhere where you're not embarrassed. Anyway, when I thought this $1.3 billion defamation

00:34:55.560 suit against Sidney Powell, that's probably not too far off from what this is going to cost them.

00:35:01.860 I wouldn't be surprised if Dominion lost over a billion dollars. I mean, that certainly seems

00:35:09.640 possible because if people believe these allegations... Now, I, of course, have said that any digital

00:35:17.080 system can be compromised. So if you believe that their digital systems are the ones that have not

00:35:23.220 been compromised, it's probably because you did a deep audit of it yourself, right? Because nobody

00:35:28.980 else did. Nobody audited that stuff. So I would say that I have no specific reason to think there's

00:35:38.560 anything wrong with this system or any other, except that 100% of the times that you have this set up,

00:35:45.120 somebody's going to hack it. Every time. You don't know if it was this year. You don't know if it's

00:35:52.420 happened in the past. You don't know if it'll happen in the future or when. But it happens every time.

00:35:58.180 It's not like this will be the one situation. There won't be a hacker. That's not a thing.

00:36:04.880 Here's some more stuff that got removed. I guess Steve Bannon's The War Room got removed from YouTube.

00:36:12.400 Google Play is getting rid of Parler and Apple might as well. Gab is already banned on Google Play

00:36:20.760 and Apple Store. So if you don't think this is serious, that's pretty serious. I went down, I thought

00:36:28.860 I went down 40,000 followers on Twitter in the last few days. And is it a coincidence that the purge

00:36:35.520 starts, that the purge began right on January 6th when Biden was sworn in? It feels as if

00:36:43.800 that date was picked because that would be the safest day to do it. So I don't know how many of

00:36:54.820 the removed users are because of bots being removed. I think that's the biggest reason. I think the main

00:37:01.880 reason was getting rid of bots. But I think the, yeah. But you also wonder how many people just left

00:37:11.940 the platform. So a lot of people left and have gone to the Locals platform. I will tell you that

00:37:18.020 if I get banned here, you could find me on a subscription platform called Locals. And the

00:37:23.980 URL would be scottadams, all one word, dot locals, with an S, dot com. So I'll be there if anything

00:37:32.600 happens to this. Lindsay Graham, he says, he tweeted, he says, I'm more determined than never to strip

00:37:41.280 Section 230 protections from big tech. Now keep in mind, Lindsay Graham, if you strip those protections

00:37:47.820 from big tech, you're also stripping it from Parler and Gab. And Parler and Gab would go on a business

00:37:54.980 pretty much the same day. Because they allow more free speech, which allows, you know, more bad

00:38:04.600 voices to be part of the system. And so if they had to start moderating all of their voices,

00:38:12.680 if Parler and Gab did, then they would just become Twitter. So the only choice they would have is to

00:38:19.620 become Twitter, at which point there's no point in having them. Or they just get sued out of business

00:38:26.340 for having, you know, Nazis on their website. So, um, Lindsay Graham, you're a little bit too late.

00:38:35.740 I don't see any way that a Section 230 thing could work, uh, in the coming administration. Do you?

00:38:42.860 I don't, I don't believe that the opportunity to regulate the social media companies exists anymore.

00:38:51.400 I think on about January 6th, the, the, even the possibility of regulating the social media companies

00:38:58.620 just went away. So, you know, Lindsay Graham can talk about it, but it's not going to happen

00:39:04.740 because the social media companies just have too much power and they're too connected with the

00:39:09.980 Democrats. It just can't happen. There's just no way that can happen. So there's no point talking

00:39:15.220 about it, actually. Um, weird story that, uh, that w there was a lot of job loss recently in December

00:39:22.120 and, but women lost jobs at a rate of 10 to one compared to, to men or nine to one or something,

00:39:29.780 something in that range, you know, like 10 to one. Now, why would that make sense in a world in which

00:39:35.480 a female employment had been zooming, uh, to the point where actually for a while it was higher. 1.00

00:39:40.940 There were more women working than men. I mean, that's how good female employment was. It just 1.00

00:39:45.560 dipped below that number. But why would it be that women would lose jobs 10 to one or something in that 1.00

00:39:53.060 range? And the, the answer that I saw, I don't know if it's true, is the teachers unions. Is there

00:40:02.220 anything that the teachers unions haven't broken? Because the teachers unions are keeping the schools

00:40:07.820 closed. They have the power to, you know, influence that. And because we live in a sexist, gender sexist

00:40:15.160 country, uh, more women are staying home because the kids have to stay home from school than the men. 0.99

00:40:20.960 Now, who saw that coming? So I don't think there's anything that you can't blame on teachers unions at

00:40:31.280 this point. So teachers unions are, you know, brainwashing people that, you know, gets you this

00:40:36.340 kind of situation. They're, uh, preventing school choice, which is the fundamental cause of, uh,

00:40:44.400 structural racism. Because if you can't get a good education, you're not going to get ahead.

00:40:50.960 So as long as the teachers unions are destroying the country from the, from the bottom up by

00:40:56.660 destroying education and the opportunity to have competition and education, we would make it good

00:41:02.100 as opposed to what it is now. Um, teachers unions are now invulnerable because of the Biden

00:41:09.680 administration. So now teachers unions, the most malign influence in the country are now completely

00:41:15.760 safe. The second most malign influence, which also has lots of benefits, right? There, there aren't

00:41:21.660 anything that's completely bad or completely good would be social media and social media now is

00:41:28.200 completely invulnerable under a Biden administration. So the two most negative forces in the country just

00:41:35.840 became invulnerable under, under Biden. Am I wrong? Is that, is that hyperbole? The two most destructive

00:41:43.720 forces just became invulnerable. I think that's true. I don't think that's an exaggeration.

00:41:51.580 All right. Um, how long do you think Republicans will be allowed to use banking?

00:41:57.640 You know, when we had lots of, uh, non-digital systems and people could be anonymous and, you

00:42:06.060 know, you could use your little bank and it's not connected to anything else. Everybody could

00:42:11.800 make mistakes or be unpopular and they can still live a life. But what happens when, what happens

00:42:19.240 when you, you get to the point where you say something in a tweet and all of your banking gets

00:42:24.660 turned off? You know, that's a thing, right? That's a thing already that if you say something

00:42:31.760 in public that, uh, is not popular that you can't bank. Now, what can you do in this world if you

00:42:39.780 can't bank? Well, you could try to get by with crypto, but it's not much of a life, right? At the

00:42:44.860 moment that'll probably correct itself in a few short years, but at the moment you wouldn't be able to

00:42:50.320 start a business, get a loan, anything. So the ability of the fake news to just cancel you

00:42:59.080 is reaching, you know, higher and higher levels to the point where once the government gets this

00:43:05.620 power, and it will, of course, the government will be able to just turn off any critic. So let's take

00:43:14.460 me, for example. Have I done anything that would, in your opinion, earn me a ban or get me kicked off

00:43:23.460 of banking? I think the answer is no. And I, I try really, really hard to make sure I know where that

00:43:30.580 line is. And I don't say anything that would, um, cause trouble. And if there's a story in the news that

00:43:37.580 turns out to be not true, I think I'm pretty consistent in saying, oh, I was wrong, not true,

00:43:44.700 as soon as I know. I think you would find that I've probably debunked more conspiracy theories than

00:43:50.460 anybody. So I'm not really in the business of promoting them as much as debunking them.

00:43:55.560 So if you were to look at, you know, my body of work, you'd say, no, he's okay. He'll be okay.

00:44:01.700 But here's the thing. There's a lot of subjectivity involved in that, isn't there?

00:44:08.160 How much subjectivity would it take to take me from my safe little content to just stretch that

00:44:15.460 over the line a little bit to where I'm bannable, just because of somebody's opinion of what I said,

00:44:21.560 maybe not even because of what I said. Now, am I vulnerable to being banned because someone else

00:44:28.560 has an incorrect opinion of what I said? The answer is yes. Our current system allows somebody

00:44:36.860 else to say, you know, in my opinion, Scott, you've crossed the line, even if I haven't,

00:44:44.980 even if I haven't. And they can just turn me off. Now, the banks can do the same thing.

00:44:53.480 How long do you think it'll take before they figure that out? So here's, here's the play.

00:44:57.500 You might see people like me targeted for destruction. I would expect that. You're

00:45:02.740 seeing it already, by the way. If you're following me on social media, you know that they are coming

00:45:08.000 for me. And there will always be a reason that's not the real reason. So the reason will be somebody

00:45:15.920 else's opinion turned into fake news of what I did or did not say. The fake news will become

00:45:23.500 what I have to explain, but I can't. Do you know why I won't be able to explain it away?

00:45:30.000 Because it's on social media and fake news. And they control who sees what. I don't have a chance.

00:45:36.540 I mean, I can say what I can say, but they could just suppress it. So let's say this scenario.

00:45:43.740 Let's say there's somebody who's got a strong association with Jack Dorsey. Or let's just say

00:45:51.180 somebody at Twitter. Let's take Jack out of it. It doesn't have to be his personality because that

00:45:55.280 that just makes everything confusing. Let's just say it's Twitter. And there's some executives there

00:46:00.700 who could push the button and erase me. All right. And if some politician knows this person at Twitter

00:46:08.460 and says, you know, it would really be good for the cause to get rid of a guy who talks about persuasion

00:46:18.440 and is maybe helping the other team. Wouldn't it be good if there were less of him?

00:46:25.620 And now the person at Twitter, hypothetically, this is just a speculative kind of thing,

00:46:30.920 says to themselves, well, I'll take a look at him. And if he's done anything to violate our guidelines,

00:46:36.120 then we'd have cause. But I'm not aware of anything. So then he starts looking at my Twitter

00:46:41.340 feed. Do you think somebody who's looking for a problem could find one? Every time, yeah. There

00:46:49.380 would be no chance that they couldn't find one. And yet, there's nothing there. As far as I know,

00:46:55.780 I've never done anything that would be even really close to that line that I know of. I mean,

00:47:02.120 I'm not aware of anything that's even close to the line. But so easily it could be interpreted as

00:47:07.500 something that I didn't say, meaning more than it meant, wrong context, leave out something, etc.

00:47:14.940 So then what happens if that Twitter executive does a favor for his friend, the Democratic senator?

00:47:21.340 This is all just made up. None of this is happening. And they take me off. What do I do?

00:47:27.200 What's my recourse? My recourse is nothing. Nothing. There's no recourse. Twitter was talking

00:47:37.720 at one point about having some kind of independent mechanism for judging who gets kicked off. But

00:47:44.160 that's not happened. And I think that enough time has gone by that you should assume it won't.

00:47:49.780 I don't think there's much chance that's going to happen. So if there's no process for getting

00:47:55.160 kicked off, and you can get kicked off because of an opinion, somebody else's opinion, not your own,

00:48:01.520 why wouldn't they come for me? Really? Right? Why wouldn't they try to get rid of me?

00:48:08.580 It would be the smart play. So I think people like me will be targeted for destruction. And if you said,

00:48:17.500 well, Scott, you can go to one of those other platforms, no, you can't. No, you can't.

00:48:23.780 You could try. But not many people would see you there. And you wouldn't be interacting with the

00:48:29.580 other side, which is the whole fun of it anyway. But what happens if they turn off my banking?

00:48:37.740 That could happen. How hard would it be for somebody to get to somebody in one of the

00:48:42.100 payment processing companies, Stripe or something like that, and just say, you know,

00:48:46.840 you've got standards, Stripe, and this guy. And then Stripe would say, well, what did he say?

00:48:54.000 You know, we need some information. We can't just ban somebody because you want them.

00:48:58.080 I go, well, look at the news. Look what it says on social media that this guy did.

00:49:02.680 He's already been banned by Twitter, already got kicked off of YouTube. So why are you giving him

00:49:10.560 banking? See what happens? You don't need any new rules. You don't need any new laws. You don't

00:49:19.440 need anything to change. And people like me can be kicked off of both social media and banking

00:49:25.100 with no recourse. No recourse. And that's our current situation. That's right now. Now,

00:49:34.420 you don't think that's dangerous? The only thing that I would add to that,

00:49:46.660 I might get kicked off social media right now. Let's see if I can word this in a way that keeps

00:49:54.000 me here for another day. All right. Yeah, Stripe did it to Gavin McGinnis, somebody saying in the

00:50:00.880 comments. So this is real, by the way, what I'm describing is something that already happens.

00:50:08.000 I'm not talking about something that might happen. You get that, right? This is happening now. I'm just

00:50:13.720 saying that they could just do more of it and it could pick me up easily. It would be easy to

00:50:18.600 disappear me if they want to. But here's the part, though. I got to say this really carefully.

00:50:26.520 Let me say it generally. I'm going to say it in the most general way. And then you can fill in

00:50:34.800 with your own mind what I mean. And it goes like this. I'm probably the last person you want to fuck

00:50:42.340 with. I'll just say that. Probably just about the last person in the world you want to fuck with.

00:50:50.500 Because I am really, really flexible about most things. I'm really, really flexible. If somebody

00:50:59.920 makes a mistake or they criticize me, yeah, no big deal. I mean, I tend to respond to criticisms,

00:51:07.840 but that's just for fun. But if I got taken out just to take me out, that might put me in a whole

00:51:21.200 different mood. Whole different mood. And I'm just saying, I'm the last person you want to fuck with.

00:51:30.440 So we'll see what happens there. The FBI released a poster of 10 of the Capitol rioters who they have

00:51:41.820 good pictures of their faces. And they're publishing the 10 faces because they're looking for the public

00:51:48.360 to help them identify them. What's wrong with this story? Before I tell you what's wrong with the story,

00:51:55.260 this is being reported. I think it's a real thing, that the FBI has 10 faces they're asking the public

00:52:02.480 to help them identify. What's wrong with that story? See if you know. And remember that the faces are

00:52:11.500 really clear. You can see them really well. What's wrong with the story that they're asking the public

00:52:16.340 to identify them? Here's what's wrong with the story. They don't need the public to identify them.

00:52:23.400 They know who they are. So why are they asking the public? When I say they know who they are,

00:52:29.440 have you heard that there is facial identification applications? You don't think the FBI has facial

00:52:35.760 identification such as, I don't know which one they use, but Clearview AI is the leader in the field.

00:52:42.620 You think there's nobody in the FBI who has the app that thousands of law enforcement agencies use

00:52:51.620 routinely? Nobody at the FBI knows that there's a facial recognition app that they can have in,

00:52:58.660 I don't know, 30 minutes. It would take them to, you know, buy a license for it.

00:53:06.220 What's wrong with the story? The FBI publishing these faces, I don't know what the purpose is,

00:53:14.280 but it's certainly not identification, because they know who they are. You could call somebody today.

00:53:21.580 I could literally do this. I could literally, personally, get their identities probably in half

00:53:28.480 an hour, you know, if I had access to the app, but you have to be law enforcement to do it.

00:53:34.220 So you could pretty much find somebody in law enforcement who has the app, and without,

00:53:39.320 you know, any violation of any licenses or privacy say, hey, do you have the app? And the, let's say,

00:53:47.080 some police officer somewhere says, yeah, we use this all the time. And they say, did you see this

00:53:51.920 tweet? Here's 10 faces. Point your app at the tweet and tell me who they are. And this is how hard it

00:54:00.040 would be. Here's the tweet. And then you take your other phone with the app, and you just point it at

00:54:09.280 it. And you identify them instantly. Now, you're telling me the FBI doesn't know that? What is the

00:54:17.440 FBI doing? Is it part of demonizing Trump supporters? Is that what's happening? Because I can't think of a

00:54:27.060 reason they do it, unless it's just some automatic process. And, you know, maybe it's just the process

00:54:32.500 that they always publish them or something. I don't know. But I got a question, because they

00:54:38.440 certainly don't need to do it. By the time that was tweeted, they had all those names. You know,

00:54:43.620 long before somebody could have done a Photoshop to put the 10 faces onto a page, the time it would

00:54:50.620 take you to Photoshop the page of the 10 faces is way longer than it took to identify them.

00:54:56.780 Literally, this is them, identify them. Snap. And there's the name. That's literally it. If you

00:55:06.980 haven't seen it done, it's shocking. It's shocking that it works, and it basically works every time

00:55:13.400 for all practical purposes. Have I considered starting my own bank? Well, I do have a crypto,

00:55:23.020 the when. So I have my own currency. That's a start. Oh, yeah. And somebody's saying it's the FBI

00:55:34.700 thing is training people to snitch. Maybe. I don't have a better theory. And I don't know that

00:55:44.400 that's true. But why else would you put down a list and ask for help on something you don't need help

00:55:50.560 on? There's some other reason. It's definitely not identification. Why limit it to law enforcement?

00:55:59.200 Well, you don't want your stalker to have it. You know, there are reasons that facial recognition

00:56:06.260 probably needs to be limited. If you were to fast forward 20 years from now, yeah, it'll be ubiquitous

00:56:12.800 in 20 years. But at the moment, while we're feeling our way through the market,

00:56:17.280 I think limiting it to law enforcement makes sense. That's just a good guardrail for now.

00:56:23.280 But it'll change.

00:56:28.740 Treating them like outlaws? Well, that's the point, is that they were breaking some laws.

00:56:37.380 What is the freest place on earth? I don't know. Good question.

00:56:41.280 Was there a poster of Antifa and BLM rioters? Probably. I mean, I wouldn't say there wasn't.

00:56:49.780 That's why I'm saying the FBI just might have a process where it doesn't even matter if they've

00:56:54.700 already been identified. There's just somebody's job it is to put things on posters. So maybe it's

00:56:59.480 the person whose job it was to put things on a poster just went ahead and did it, even though

00:57:04.160 it didn't have to happen. Treason needs to be dealt with. Well, here's the problem with treason.

00:57:17.520 Treason would be helping China take over the United States. Unambiguous. And we'd all agree, 0.99

00:57:25.240 well, there's some treason right there. There's a traitor. But what if there's a genuine and legitimate

00:57:32.060 disagreement about who won the election and who is the one doing the coup? So if you're

00:57:42.340 trying to take over the Capitol because you're trying to stop a coup, is that the same as taking

00:57:50.960 over the Capitol because you are a coup? Because who was it who got to decide that the protesters were

00:58:00.820 a coup versus people trying to stop a coup? Who got to decide? Well, social media, fake news.

00:58:12.100 They get to decide. Now, you can say to me, but Scott, Scott, Scott, the protesters were operating under

00:58:21.880 bad information. Bad information about the election having problems. And since there was no court case or

00:58:30.040 official ruling that there was any problem, that therefore they're the treasonous ones. Now,

00:58:37.860 wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. If they were just mistaken, it's not treason.

00:58:43.820 They were just mistaken. If they thought they were doing a counter coup to a coup that just took over

00:58:50.640 the United States. They are patriots. They are misguided patriots. And the ones with the pipes

00:58:58.820 broke the law and they will have to pay for that. But why were they doing it? Were they doing it

00:59:07.220 because they thought they were overthrowing a legitimate government? Or did they do it because

00:59:12.080 they thought they were stopping a coup, which would have been cheating in the election to get the wrong

00:59:18.020 people elected? I think the minimum requirement to call somebody treasonous or a traitor is that

00:59:27.320 they have to, in their own mind, be working against the best interests of the country. They would have

00:59:33.580 to be working against our Constitution. In their minds, they were working for it. I won't say that's

00:59:41.120 true of every single person with a pipe in their hand. But in general, they were working for the

00:59:49.360 benefit of the country to keep the United States strong and to make sure that it had not fallen to

00:59:56.700 a coup. That is literally the opposite of treason. That is opposite. Because the only thing that

01:00:06.280 mattered is what they thought when they were doing it, in terms of how you label it. Now, in terms of

01:00:12.000 what they were thinking when they did it, doesn't make any difference to the criminality of it.

01:00:18.360 And unfortunately, we all have to accept that. Because you can't have a system where somebody with a pipe

01:00:24.440 can get away with it because they had bad information. Right? If you kill your neighbor with a pipe and then

01:00:30.120 later say, ah, I had bad information. I thought my lawyer, my neighbor did something bad. Turns out

01:00:36.980 he didn't. But, you know, you can't convict me because in my mind, I thought I was actually doing

01:00:43.780 a good thing. That doesn't work. You can't use that with the legal system. You just sort of have to

01:00:49.840 blame the person who had the pipe in their hand or the whole system falls apart. But treason?

01:00:55.960 Treason? Treason's an opinion and it's not based on any observation. Do you think there was anybody

01:01:02.240 in that crowd who would have said to you, yeah, we do think Biden won fair and square, but still,

01:01:08.560 we don't like it. So we're going to try to overthrow the government because even though the election was

01:01:13.680 fair, we don't like the outcome. Do you think you could get even one person to say that? Literally

01:01:19.720 one. Could you get one person to say that in that crowd? I'll bet not. I'll bet there wouldn't be

01:01:25.120 one person who in their minds thought they were doing anything remotely like treason.

01:01:31.380 They thought they were protecting the country. Now, why is it that somebody could be so uninformed

01:01:37.560 according to other people? How could they be so uninformed according to social media and fake news?

01:01:46.100 Well, could it be the information comes from the sources that don't give good information?

01:01:51.360 fake news and social media. I would think they would be to blame. So that's enough for today.

01:02:03.020 Nobody knows exactly where all this is going, but there is a breaking point. Nobody knows where it is,

01:02:11.380 but there is a breaking point. Trump, I think, is a special case in every way. He's a special case.

01:02:22.080 And he certainly was intentionally pushing, you know, pushing the boundary. He knew he was doing it. He

01:02:29.560 knew the odds of him being banned were really high. So I'm not sure we can count him like everything else.

01:02:35.200 But if you see me disappear, and I think that's at least a 50-50 chance, at least, maybe higher. If you

01:02:42.320 see me disappear, that's the beginning, not the end. That's all I'm going to say. If I disappear,

01:02:52.420 that's the beginning. And you'll know what to do at the time. All right, that's all for now.

01:02:58.060 I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye for now.
