Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1262 Scott Adams： All the News, Fake and Real, With Coffee

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in here. It's time for coffee with Scott Adams. Today will be the...

00:00:13.000 I'll tell you, it's been a tough morning. I didn't even have my microphone on. That's better.

00:00:21.920 Question. Are you seeing me in sideways orientation or is this another technical problem?

00:00:32.900 I'll bet I'm sideways, aren't I? Can somebody tell me if you're seeing me sideways or right side up?

00:00:40.300 Yeah. Okay. So most of this trip, as I tweeted earlier, because you go to a new environment

00:00:50.280 and there are all these controls and user interfaces and buttons you have to learn.

00:00:56.160 I swear, half of my life is just figuring out new buttons. For example, the toilet here has this

00:01:03.140 two-part button where, you know, depending on your business, you push one button versus the other.

00:01:08.620 And it has this unique design, which is sometimes the button flushes the toilet.

00:01:14.200 And when I say sometimes, I mean, one times out of three, and the other times you can jam it as much as you want

00:01:22.360 and nothing happens. Now you're thinking to yourself, it's because the bowl has filled or the tank is filled.

00:01:28.900 Nope. It has nothing to do with that or when you do it. It's just that it only works one time out of three,

00:01:37.660 one time out of five. And my entire environment is filled with that. I'm using Periscope right now.

00:01:45.260 The comments are coming streaming sideways, so I can't read them very well. I'll try, but they're sideways.

00:01:53.440 Instead of the way they normally go. Why? I don't know. How many times have I used Periscope?

00:02:00.440 A billion times, but this time it doesn't work. Oh, here's what I could have been doing.

00:02:05.380 Instead of Periscope, I could have gone to YouTube and live stream on there.

00:02:11.720 Now, you probably know that I've been live streaming on YouTube for months and months and months, every single day.

00:02:19.580 So if you were to say to yourself, does that guy know how to live stream on YouTube?

00:02:25.120 Does he know what button to push to make YouTube happen and live stream?

00:02:29.240 Yes, he does. Because he does it every single day.

00:02:33.840 Except, for reasons I don't quite understand, those buttons don't exist anymore.

00:02:40.480 And I honestly don't know why.

00:02:43.340 I open up YouTube, just like always.

00:02:47.020 Look at the app, look at it on a browser, look at it on a different browser.

00:02:51.260 And that little button that I've been pushing for months to go live, live stream, it's not there.

00:03:00.420 I don't know where it is.

00:03:02.100 Now, you say to yourself, I'll bet you could solve that, Scott.

00:03:06.160 You know, you operate in a complicated world.

00:03:09.080 I'll bet you can figure out where that button is and why it's not there.

00:03:12.200 It might have something to do with being in another country.

00:03:14.820 I don't know.

00:03:15.680 That does make some of the apps not work.

00:03:17.660 But here's the thing.

00:03:19.800 If that were my only interface problem, yeah, I could probably take half a day and Google it and figure it out.

00:03:27.420 But I'm surrounded by these.

00:03:29.740 Everything I've touched has become a technical problem today.

00:03:33.640 Everything.

00:03:34.740 Every button, every piece of software, every device.

00:03:38.960 I've got several electronic devices.

00:03:40.700 So we've reached the point in civilization where a full 50% of our time in any given day can be given up to fixing your printer, reloading your software, figuring out why the car doesn't do what it used to do before.

00:03:56.260 So there's your world.

00:03:57.680 All right, let's talk about the news.

00:03:58.640 In California, it's reported that the government of California will not tell its citizens what kind of formulas and statistics and algorithm, I guess, they use for deciding what to do about coronavirus.

00:04:14.480 And the reason they're not telling the public, it's reported, is, and I quote,

00:04:18.380 state health officials said they rely on a very complex set of measurements that would confuse and potentially mislead the public if they were made public.

00:04:28.940 That's right.

00:04:30.160 So in California, my state, I'm not allowed to see what kinds of information is used to determine my entire life.

00:04:40.200 You know, what happens with the coronavirus.

00:04:43.160 Isn't that a problem?

00:04:44.400 Now, I understand the point that it's complicated, people wouldn't understand, they would take it wrong, it would cause some problems.

00:04:52.980 But is that a problem with the people?

00:04:56.240 Is that a flaw in the public?

00:04:58.380 Because to me, it looks like a flaw in how they're measuring things.

00:05:02.340 If you're doing big public policy like this, and you haven't simplified what it is you're measuring and therefore managing to, you're doing it wrong.

00:05:11.720 So as soon as somebody says, yes, we're managing to a complex stop, it's already wrong.

00:05:19.640 You don't need to hear what even the rest of the sentence is.

00:05:24.660 Let me say that better without butchering it.

00:05:28.080 If a politician says to you, we're going to make decisions based on a very complex stop,

00:05:36.040 you don't make decisions about public policy based on complexity.

00:05:42.340 Because if you do, the public won't understand it, they won't buy into it, it won't work.

00:05:47.120 So you need to simplify it somehow, even at the risk of being less accurate.

00:05:54.060 Simplicity is really, really important.

00:05:56.300 So there must be some way they can simplify their decision making down to, you know, if, I don't know, school children or people over 65 have X infections or something like that.

00:06:09.640 Now, it would be deeply imperfect, but probably better than what they're doing now.

00:06:15.720 You know, you could be 80% imperfect, and it might be better than the current situation,

00:06:22.880 which is not telling the public why they're doing what they're doing.

00:06:26.120 Plus, we're not so smart that being really complicated in our formulas is going to get us a better result.

00:06:31.680 We just don't know.

00:06:33.120 We don't know what works and what doesn't.

00:06:35.040 So being complicated about it, that might be adding complexity to the unknown,

00:06:40.860 which is really just getting you further from anything useful.

00:06:44.620 So simplify, simplify.

00:06:46.200 That's my advice.

00:06:49.040 Seattle police have made a startling decision.

00:06:53.880 This surprised me.

00:06:55.200 I think you'll be pretty surprised, too.

00:06:57.320 So the Seattle police are going to do this thing called cracking down on crime.

00:07:04.780 You've heard of crime.

00:07:05.720 That's when people do things that are against the law,

00:07:08.780 such as rioting and breaking windows in businesses and vandalizing and stuff.

00:07:14.040 And up until now, I didn't know this, but apparently they were just spectating.

00:07:20.780 So the police were more of a spectating situation.

00:07:24.460 But now they've decided they're going to crack down on rioters who damage businesses.

00:07:28.000 And I'm thinking to myself, now, I would like to have been in the brainstorming meeting for that.

00:07:34.960 Right?

00:07:36.340 Wouldn't you like to have been in the brainstorming meeting?

00:07:39.220 Okay.

00:07:39.620 Your comments are going sideways, but I can see that a lot of them have the word SIP in them.

00:07:46.060 And I think that means that you're telling me it's time for the simultaneous set.

00:07:51.100 And I believe it is.

00:07:52.260 And if you'd like to enjoy it to its full potential,

00:07:54.360 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:07:57.800 Canteen, jealous, no, a thing,

00:08:03.640 more things that liquids will go into without spilling.

00:08:07.500 There are several of them with different names and blah, blah, blah, blah,

00:08:11.580 the dopamine hit of the day.

00:08:12.880 It's the best part of the day.

00:08:14.920 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the simultaneous SIP.

00:08:19.840 Go.

00:08:24.360 Ah.

00:08:25.900 Are you ever frankly amazed that I can't remember the thing that I say literally every day?

00:08:32.460 You shouldn't be, because it's actually completely normal within the landscape of my brain.

00:08:40.780 One of the things that Christine and I love talking about

00:08:43.680 is the differences between what she can do and what I can do,

00:08:47.660 things her brain can do that mine can't.

00:08:49.460 She can memorize Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata in three acts,

00:08:56.220 which has how many notes?

00:08:58.740 I don't know.

00:08:59.840 A lot of notes.

00:09:01.360 Thousands and thousands of notes in a specific order.

00:09:05.540 And she can memorize that.

00:09:07.420 I can't memorize the thing I do every day.

00:09:09.300 It's just a few sentences.

00:09:11.040 So, different brains.

00:09:12.360 Anyway.

00:09:12.560 China has decided to ban the Trump administration,

00:09:20.260 or ex-members of the Trump administration,

00:09:23.360 from ever entering China.

00:09:25.500 To which I say to myself,

00:09:27.260 is it getting a little bit too obvious

00:09:29.740 that China and the Democrats are sort of, you know,

00:09:33.240 hand in the glove?

00:09:35.200 Now, you can say to yourself,

00:09:36.960 but Scott, they're not working together.

00:09:39.640 They just both don't like the same thing.

00:09:42.700 There's nothing unusual about that.

00:09:45.620 But every time we see a situation

00:09:48.800 where the Democrats and China are on the same page,

00:09:52.820 there should be a little flag that goes up in your brain

00:09:55.520 that says,

00:09:56.820 huh, maybe you ought to look into that a little bit more.

00:09:59.880 So, honestly,

00:10:02.480 I think there's an inevitability

00:10:05.760 to China's control of our information

00:10:10.100 and our government, I think.

00:10:13.940 Because it goes like this.

00:10:15.500 Whoever has the most money wins,

00:10:17.640 just in general.

00:10:19.220 Eventually, just because of the sheer size of China,

00:10:22.020 if they just grow at some normal rate,

00:10:24.720 and the United States grows at some normal rate,

00:10:27.880 China's going to be bigger.

00:10:29.580 And it won't take long,

00:10:30.540 because they've got more people,

00:10:32.000 so that's all it takes.

00:10:35.220 When they have immensely more money

00:10:38.120 than anybody else,

00:10:39.320 they can start bribing like crazy.

00:10:41.940 And they can send millions of people

00:10:44.740 to embed themselves in other governments

00:10:48.140 and other countries

00:10:49.040 until eventually they have full control of everything.

00:10:52.300 So there are really only, I guess,

00:10:54.100 three things you'd need

00:10:55.360 for China to control everything.

00:10:57.620 Immense amount of money, check.

00:11:01.320 They have immense already,

00:11:02.960 but even more coming.

00:11:06.040 Are they willing to send millions of people

00:11:09.080 into undercover jobs around the country

00:11:13.420 or around the world?

00:11:14.980 Yes.

00:11:15.640 We already see them doing that.

00:11:17.920 And then third,

00:11:18.440 they have to be willing to do it.

00:11:20.260 They have to think it's a good idea

00:11:21.680 and a high priority

00:11:23.260 and just willing to do it.

00:11:24.600 And they are.

00:11:26.500 So if you take those things,

00:11:28.720 what's going to stop them

00:11:30.220 from eventually having

00:11:31.600 at least a financial direct

00:11:34.120 or indirect control over everybody?

00:11:36.880 Take me.

00:11:37.780 I'm a giant critic of China,

00:11:40.560 but even I have business

00:11:41.640 that goes through China indirectly,

00:11:43.560 not my own personal business,

00:11:45.780 but if you look at my publishers

00:11:47.320 or my people I work with,

00:11:49.820 they have China business.

00:11:50.540 So pretty much everybody's

00:11:53.260 got something to lose

00:11:54.600 or will have something to lose

00:11:57.520 if they speak out against China.

00:12:00.100 That's where we're heading,

00:12:01.900 where you won't be able

00:12:03.300 to criticize China

00:12:04.600 because they'll have too many controls

00:12:07.180 in too many places.

00:12:09.200 What would it take for China

00:12:10.460 to control CNN?

00:12:13.220 What would that take?

00:12:15.020 I think all it would take

00:12:16.540 is to open up their market

00:12:17.720 and say,

00:12:18.820 yeah, you can have some news here,

00:12:21.120 but after you've got

00:12:22.680 a nice profit there

00:12:23.780 and your stockholders like it,

00:12:26.120 we're going to say,

00:12:26.820 you know,

00:12:27.760 maybe you can't stay here

00:12:29.320 if you keep talking

00:12:30.820 the way you're talking

00:12:31.500 about that story.

00:12:33.360 So China has a whole bunch

00:12:35.680 of different ways

00:12:36.480 to directly and indirectly

00:12:38.280 apply financial pressure

00:12:40.200 or incentives to people.

00:12:42.100 So I don't really know

00:12:44.120 how they could ever avoid

00:12:46.520 having full control

00:12:47.520 of everything

00:12:48.020 just by money

00:12:49.560 without firing a single shot.

00:12:51.660 I don't know what would stop that.

00:12:54.040 I can't think of anything.

00:12:55.440 The only thing that would stop it

00:12:56.660 is what Trump was doing,

00:12:57.920 which was looking

00:12:59.040 to decouple our business.

00:13:01.020 It looks like Biden's

00:13:02.040 probably going to reverse that,

00:13:03.380 I think.

00:13:04.520 And therefore,

00:13:05.440 we will have no plan

00:13:06.580 compared to China's

00:13:09.020 long-term strategic plan,

00:13:11.040 which is largely guaranteed

00:13:12.620 to work in the long run.

00:13:14.820 The only part you don't know

00:13:16.000 is how long it takes.

00:13:17.540 You don't have to wonder

00:13:18.520 if it happens.

00:13:20.100 It's how long it takes.

00:13:21.940 I say the same thing

00:13:23.140 about the integrity

00:13:23.880 of our election system.

00:13:26.080 And I'll say it

00:13:26.700 about every other country.

00:13:27.980 Any country that has

00:13:29.040 an election system

00:13:30.580 and enough openness

00:13:32.200 that, you know,

00:13:33.380 people can get in

00:13:34.260 and mess with it

00:13:34.900 if they had a reason to.

00:13:37.300 Eventually,

00:13:38.480 I would think

00:13:39.040 any voting system

00:13:40.200 would be compromised

00:13:41.500 by the intelligence agencies

00:13:43.340 of either their own country

00:13:45.460 so that the intelligence agencies

00:13:47.420 could have more power

00:13:48.240 or by an outside force.

00:13:50.840 And again,

00:13:51.400 it's exactly the same question.

00:13:52.920 It's not if it's going to happen.

00:13:55.360 It's guaranteed.

00:13:57.040 It's just when.

00:13:58.360 Has it happened already?

00:13:59.820 Or is it in our future?

00:14:01.420 That's the part we don't know.

00:14:03.380 But it has to happen.

00:14:04.360 There's no way around it

00:14:05.700 in the long run.

00:14:06.560 Of course,

00:14:08.340 there could be surprises, right?

00:14:09.720 So a straight line prediction

00:14:11.380 of anything

00:14:11.880 is always the worst prediction.

00:14:14.700 So when I say

00:14:15.480 it has to happen,

00:14:17.340 that assumes

00:14:18.240 nothing's different

00:14:19.140 between now

00:14:20.660 and whenever

00:14:21.120 it might happen.

00:14:22.380 But things change.

00:14:24.040 So there could be

00:14:24.740 lots of things

00:14:25.260 that would get you

00:14:27.020 off track there.

00:14:28.420 All right.

00:14:28.700 We're seeing calls

00:14:31.880 for Fox News

00:14:34.000 to be banned

00:14:34.800 from the White House.

00:14:36.760 Now, this, of course,

00:14:37.620 would be the mirror story

00:14:38.940 for Trump banning CNN

00:14:40.780 for a while.

00:14:41.560 I don't know how long

00:14:42.160 that lasted.

00:14:43.520 But the call

00:14:46.840 for banning Fox News,

00:14:49.020 you knew that was coming.

00:14:50.960 But, of course,

00:14:51.760 the stories that talk about it

00:14:52.920 will give examples

00:14:53.720 of the things they say

00:14:55.440 Fox News got wrong

00:14:56.720 and riled people up

00:14:58.040 and blah, blah, blah.

00:14:59.300 What they don't talk about

00:15:00.620 in the same story

00:15:01.560 is how many things

00:15:03.180 CNN got wrong

00:15:04.380 and how many things

00:15:06.160 MSNBC got wrong.

00:15:07.820 Because the claim is

00:15:09.360 that Fox News

00:15:10.600 is a special brand

00:15:12.760 of wrong news.

00:15:15.320 I don't see it.

00:15:17.520 I don't see it at all.

00:15:19.620 The criticisms

00:15:20.460 that they leveled

00:15:22.680 sort of depend

00:15:24.100 on magical thinking,

00:15:26.040 which is

00:15:27.000 let's say

00:15:28.740 they know that Fox News

00:15:30.700 is wrong about

00:15:31.400 some things

00:15:32.040 that you couldn't

00:15:33.280 know they're wrong about.

00:15:34.540 They might be wrong,

00:15:35.900 but you couldn't

00:15:36.900 know they're wrong.

00:15:37.860 So I'm not going to get

00:15:38.780 into the specifics

00:15:39.820 of that

00:15:40.320 because I don't want

00:15:41.500 to get kicked off

00:15:42.200 of social media.

00:15:45.380 But,

00:15:46.100 you know,

00:15:48.380 it's amazing that

00:15:49.740 in my opinion,

00:15:51.760 I think it's true.

00:15:53.560 I don't want

00:15:54.320 to be a mind reader,

00:15:55.640 but I believe

00:15:56.700 it's true

00:15:57.300 based on observation.

00:15:59.060 See what you think

00:15:59.660 about this.

00:16:00.660 That the people

00:16:01.480 who are saying

00:16:02.020 that Fox News

00:16:02.920 should be banned

00:16:03.760 from the White House

00:16:04.620 and, you know,

00:16:05.560 taken off the air

00:16:06.400 or whatever else

00:16:06.980 they're saying,

00:16:07.320 I think they actually

00:16:09.320 believe

00:16:10.000 that CNN

00:16:11.160 is giving them

00:16:11.880 real news.

00:16:13.600 Don't you think?

00:16:14.840 I don't think

00:16:15.640 that they think

00:16:16.680 that CNN

00:16:17.260 is, you know,

00:16:18.260 biased propaganda,

00:16:19.400 but it's on their side,

00:16:20.560 so that's okay.

00:16:22.060 I don't think

00:16:22.780 they think that.

00:16:24.320 I think

00:16:24.920 they're completely

00:16:25.620 unaware

00:16:26.120 that all of the news

00:16:28.080 is the same.

00:16:29.280 They're just

00:16:29.760 differences on topics.

00:16:32.440 But there's no such thing

00:16:34.000 as one of the news

00:16:34.800 that's nailing

00:16:36.000 all the stories correctly.

00:16:37.520 That doesn't exist

00:16:38.580 in any world,

00:16:40.420 but I think

00:16:41.080 they think it does.

00:16:42.300 And I'm going to get

00:16:42.860 to that point

00:16:43.440 in a little bit.

00:16:45.620 We'll say more

00:16:46.420 about that in a bit.

00:16:48.700 All right.

00:16:50.840 I was also reading

00:16:52.120 on CNN,

00:16:52.960 which I read

00:16:53.580 for entertainment,

00:16:54.460 not news,

00:16:55.620 an opinion piece

00:16:56.540 in which somebody smart

00:16:58.000 was on the air saying,

00:16:59.560 and this is a direct quote

00:17:00.800 from CNN,

00:17:02.260 quote,

00:17:02.920 and this is an opinion person,

00:17:04.540 not a news person,

00:17:05.260 who they had.

00:17:06.980 It was an opinion person

00:17:07.960 that they had

00:17:08.780 on to talk about.

00:17:11.220 And this person said,

00:17:12.420 it doesn't matter

00:17:13.120 who it is.

00:17:13.620 It's the point

00:17:14.160 that matters.

00:17:15.060 It's been very clear

00:17:16.060 from the data

00:17:16.840 that states

00:17:17.860 that have implemented

00:17:18.800 strong mask policies

00:17:20.420 have a slower increase

00:17:22.180 in the number

00:17:22.760 of cases

00:17:23.300 or even a decrease.

00:17:25.240 But it's not mask alone,

00:17:26.940 says this person.

00:17:28.260 It's mask

00:17:28.900 in combination

00:17:29.480 with other measures

00:17:30.440 such as

00:17:31.000 measures

00:17:31.840 such as distancing

00:17:33.100 and improve

00:17:33.620 ventilation

00:17:34.120 and hand washing,

00:17:35.000 et cetera.

00:17:35.900 Now,

00:17:37.040 I don't know

00:17:37.900 if that's true

00:17:38.580 or untrue.

00:17:40.820 It's my personal opinion

00:17:43.000 based on science

00:17:44.440 that masks

00:17:45.600 probably work.

00:17:47.600 When I say

00:17:47.940 probably

00:17:48.500 90%,

00:17:50.840 nothing's 100%

00:17:52.580 these days.

00:17:53.440 But I'd say

00:17:54.680 just my personal opinion,

00:17:56.980 not an expert,

00:17:58.720 not a doctor,

00:18:00.480 and not even

00:18:01.360 looking at the studies.

00:18:02.720 Just the fact

00:18:03.300 that if a mask

00:18:05.120 slows down

00:18:06.620 the spread

00:18:07.300 from your mouth

00:18:08.100 and that's the problem,

00:18:09.240 it just makes sense

00:18:10.020 it probably works.

00:18:12.100 And social distancing,

00:18:14.940 how do you get something

00:18:15.920 from somebody

00:18:16.580 you're not near, right?

00:18:18.500 So it makes sense

00:18:19.620 to me

00:18:20.240 that these things work.

00:18:21.560 But,

00:18:21.840 why have I never seen

00:18:24.140 a reliable

00:18:25.540 study

00:18:26.880 or set of studies

00:18:28.020 that say that?

00:18:30.420 Doesn't that seem missing?

00:18:32.060 Is it because

00:18:32.620 of my news sources?

00:18:34.340 Because the gentleman

00:18:35.820 who made this claim

00:18:36.900 didn't point to a source.

00:18:39.580 How many people

00:18:41.120 believe

00:18:41.700 that this is

00:18:43.580 a true statement

00:18:44.440 that science

00:18:45.780 has looked at the data

00:18:46.880 and they're quite,

00:18:48.100 quite certain

00:18:48.660 based on what they've seen

00:18:50.300 in a scientific

00:18:51.620 logical

00:18:52.420 data-driven sense

00:18:54.140 that masks

00:18:55.480 work?

00:18:57.220 Where is that data?

00:18:59.420 Now again,

00:18:59.940 I believe they do work.

00:19:01.400 I think you should

00:19:02.160 wear your mask

00:19:02.900 until there's

00:19:03.800 some proof

00:19:05.560 that they don't work

00:19:06.420 and we don't have that.

00:19:07.720 But where is the evidence

00:19:08.980 that they do work?

00:19:11.420 Doesn't that feel

00:19:12.420 sort of

00:19:13.500 suspiciously missing?

00:19:16.400 It's just the most

00:19:17.180 obvious thing, right?

00:19:18.080 If wearing masks

00:19:19.620 is so important,

00:19:22.000 why doesn't CNN

00:19:23.140 and anybody

00:19:24.380 who wants us

00:19:24.940 to wear masks

00:19:25.600 point us to the data

00:19:27.200 and say,

00:19:28.240 look,

00:19:28.700 we're not making this up.

00:19:31.100 You know,

00:19:31.280 this is not us

00:19:32.080 just trying to guess

00:19:33.400 on science.

00:19:34.360 We're looking

00:19:35.160 at actual studies.

00:19:37.020 Here are the studies.

00:19:38.220 You can look at them

00:19:38.840 yourself.

00:19:40.020 You know,

00:19:40.560 take your skeptics in,

00:19:42.040 look at them,

00:19:42.520 and you can see

00:19:43.180 that these masks work.

00:19:45.740 Now,

00:19:47.420 Democrats believe

00:19:48.420 these studies exist.

00:19:50.640 I think they might.

00:19:52.580 I'm not saying

00:19:53.320 they don't.

00:19:54.760 But why don't I know that?

00:19:57.140 At this point?

00:19:59.300 And I like to use myself

00:20:00.900 as sort of a,

00:20:01.620 you know,

00:20:02.000 canary in the gold mine

00:20:03.120 or the,

00:20:05.000 in the coal mine situation,

00:20:06.920 which is

00:20:08.220 I follow the news

00:20:10.700 pretty closely

00:20:12.280 compared to the average citizen.

00:20:14.720 Pretty closely.

00:20:15.860 I follow it on the left.

00:20:17.140 I follow it on the right.

00:20:18.380 Every single day

00:20:19.500 I check both CNN

00:20:20.760 and Fox

00:20:21.520 and compare their stories.

00:20:22.820 Every day.

00:20:23.620 That's part of what I do here.

00:20:25.960 And I don't know

00:20:27.240 where I would look

00:20:29.020 to find

00:20:30.620 the definitive

00:20:31.540 you know,

00:20:34.460 study or studies

00:20:35.720 that confirm

00:20:37.780 that masks

00:20:38.360 are lowering infections.

00:20:39.900 Now,

00:20:40.400 I have seen

00:20:40.780 lots of studies

00:20:41.500 of laboratory tests.

00:20:43.600 If you've,

00:20:44.580 if you've seen

00:20:45.380 a laboratory test

00:20:46.700 where they say

00:20:47.420 a mask doesn't have

00:20:49.080 the density

00:20:49.980 to stop the virus

00:20:51.040 because the virus

00:20:51.640 will pass through,

00:20:52.680 do you know

00:20:53.580 that those are worthless?

00:20:55.400 Because you might not

00:20:56.460 if you only watch

00:20:57.580 news that's sort of

00:20:58.900 right-leaning.

00:21:00.940 You could test all day

00:21:02.420 in the laboratory,

00:21:04.160 but it's not really

00:21:05.240 testing the real world

00:21:07.220 situation.

00:21:08.640 I'm pretty sure

00:21:09.300 the only way

00:21:10.080 you would know

00:21:10.500 if masks work

00:21:11.600 because obviously

00:21:13.000 air is getting out

00:21:14.680 somehow.

00:21:15.300 You couldn't exhale

00:21:16.220 unless the air

00:21:17.420 was getting out

00:21:17.920 somehow, right?

00:21:22.400 Anyway,

00:21:23.100 my bottom line

00:21:24.320 on masks

00:21:24.800 is that

00:21:25.340 it's not just

00:21:27.320 that we don't know,

00:21:29.260 it's that they're not

00:21:30.020 pointing us at

00:21:30.660 an authoritative source.

00:21:32.740 That's got to bother you,

00:21:34.020 right?

00:21:35.580 If they want us

00:21:37.080 to believe masks work

00:21:38.600 and the science

00:21:40.080 is unambiguous,

00:21:41.060 that's what the claim is,

00:21:42.620 how come they don't

00:21:43.600 just point to it

00:21:44.740 and say,

00:21:45.820 here it is?

00:21:46.400 And every time

00:21:47.320 this subject comes up,

00:21:48.980 Joe Biden says,

00:21:49.860 look,

00:21:50.400 I know there are

00:21:51.160 a lot of doubters,

00:21:52.540 but here's a link.

00:21:54.480 Go look at it yourself.

00:21:55.820 Ask your best data people

00:21:57.440 to look at it.

00:21:58.600 It's really clear.

00:21:59.600 It's right here.

00:22:00.080 I don't think

00:22:01.480 that exists.

00:22:03.120 Now, part of the problem

00:22:03.820 is that I don't think

00:22:04.920 you can measure it.

00:22:07.480 I don't think

00:22:08.640 that we have the ability

00:22:10.280 to know that

00:22:11.640 a certain,

00:22:12.980 let's say,

00:22:13.680 city or state

00:22:14.640 had better

00:22:15.940 or worse performance

00:22:17.320 because of masks.

00:22:19.860 I don't think

00:22:20.540 we can know that.

00:22:21.820 I think we can only

00:22:22.780 know what happened.

00:22:24.120 We can't know why.

00:22:26.400 Now, statistically,

00:22:27.380 you could often,

00:22:28.160 you know,

00:22:28.680 tease out a cause,

00:22:30.100 but there are so many

00:22:31.020 variables going on

00:22:32.100 and we don't understand

00:22:33.120 the interplay

00:22:33.740 of all the variables

00:22:34.700 and they're big ones.

00:22:36.000 We just don't know.

00:22:37.560 I mean,

00:22:38.080 you know until recently

00:22:39.780 we didn't know

00:22:41.540 that it's hard

00:22:42.300 to get the virus

00:22:43.100 from the surface.

00:22:44.820 We didn't know

00:22:45.560 until recently

00:22:46.440 that the super spreaders

00:22:48.420 are really the problem,

00:22:50.040 right?

00:22:50.380 If you could get rid

00:22:51.180 of all the super spreaders,

00:22:52.980 you'd probably get on top

00:22:54.100 of this pretty quickly.

00:22:55.600 So there's a whole bunch

00:22:57.180 of stuff that are

00:22:58.080 really, really big variables

00:22:59.500 that we didn't know

00:23:00.360 just recently,

00:23:01.260 until recently,

00:23:02.180 and I would argue

00:23:03.300 there's probably

00:23:04.160 a whole bunch of variables

00:23:05.100 we still don't understand.

00:23:07.080 So I don't believe

00:23:08.380 it is scientifically,

00:23:10.900 logically possible

00:23:12.140 for us to know

00:23:13.680 that masks have worked

00:23:15.180 by observing them

00:23:16.700 in the field.

00:23:18.040 I don't think

00:23:18.520 that's a thing.

00:23:19.640 That feels like

00:23:20.380 confirmation bias.

00:23:22.120 That said,

00:23:23.680 it's my opinion

00:23:24.360 that masks work

00:23:25.320 and you should do

00:23:26.180 what you can

00:23:26.600 to wear them.

00:23:28.520 All right,

00:23:29.040 and I say that

00:23:30.080 in terms of a risk

00:23:30.980 management calculation.

00:23:34.640 Maybe they don't work.

00:23:36.480 I mean,

00:23:37.040 it's a strange world.

00:23:38.520 I could be surprised.

00:23:40.200 But the risk management

00:23:41.820 is that,

00:23:42.720 you know,

00:23:44.000 there's not that much

00:23:45.040 risk of wearing it.

00:23:46.080 It's just a huge pain

00:23:47.300 in the ass.

00:23:48.360 But if it saves lives,

00:23:49.760 well, maybe.

00:23:50.200 All right,

00:23:51.860 the other news was

00:23:53.220 it was the New York Times

00:23:54.380 had an article

00:23:54.860 that the blood plasma idea

00:23:57.660 was saving lives.

00:24:00.140 Now,

00:24:00.420 the idea is that

00:24:01.060 you would take some blood

00:24:02.440 out of somebody

00:24:02.960 who had already recovered

00:24:03.960 and had antibodies.

00:24:05.240 You pump that blood

00:24:06.360 or some condensed version

00:24:07.840 of it into somebody

00:24:08.680 and they would acquire

00:24:10.180 the antibodies

00:24:10.840 from the person

00:24:11.740 who got them

00:24:12.320 and then they would be

00:24:13.680 better off.

00:24:14.480 I was very happy

00:24:16.780 to see that

00:24:17.440 for five minutes.

00:24:22.840 That's how long it took

00:24:24.180 somebody smart

00:24:25.480 to debunk it.

00:24:27.240 Now,

00:24:27.480 keep in mind,

00:24:27.980 this is in the New York Times

00:24:29.260 and it took five minutes

00:24:30.720 to debunk it.

00:24:32.000 Now,

00:24:32.240 when I say debunked,

00:24:33.820 I don't mean proven

00:24:35.000 that it was incorrect.

00:24:36.800 But I do mean proven

00:24:38.540 that you shouldn't

00:24:39.260 necessarily believe it.

00:24:41.620 I still think

00:24:42.440 it almost certainly works

00:24:43.700 if I had to guess.

00:24:45.280 It would be hard for me

00:24:46.340 to imagine it not working

00:24:47.760 because, you know,

00:24:48.660 it's a well-known process.

00:24:50.180 It's been used

00:24:50.840 for other things.

00:24:52.260 There's just no reason

00:24:53.060 it shouldn't work.

00:24:54.920 But,

00:24:55.420 as one of my

00:24:57.000 Twitter buddies

00:24:58.680 who's really good

00:24:59.860 with data,

00:25:01.800 Anatoly Lubarsky,

00:25:03.880 he follows me.

00:25:05.140 If you,

00:25:05.700 I think if you just

00:25:06.720 Google him,

00:25:08.160 you can find him.

00:25:08.800 He's an excellent follow.

00:25:10.540 He's a game designer,

00:25:12.200 but whenever there's

00:25:13.100 this data kind of a claim,

00:25:15.520 it takes him about

00:25:16.340 five minutes

00:25:17.000 to debunk it

00:25:17.780 and it doesn't matter

00:25:18.420 what the claim is.

00:25:19.400 And it's really actually,

00:25:20.320 it's impressive to watch

00:25:22.040 and I hate it.

00:25:24.760 I hate it,

00:25:25.640 love it,

00:25:26.340 because I often

00:25:27.560 will be tweeting,

00:25:29.040 tweeting studies

00:25:30.740 that I think

00:25:31.240 are a big deal

00:25:32.040 and it's good news

00:25:33.240 and, hey,

00:25:33.860 this is great

00:25:34.500 and we've learned something.

00:25:35.980 And then,

00:25:36.360 Anatoly Lubarsky

00:25:38.020 comes in five minutes later

00:25:39.280 with the counterclaim

00:25:40.300 and the other study

00:25:41.200 that shows it's bullshit

00:25:42.120 and I think,

00:25:43.540 not again.

00:25:45.460 You got me again.

00:25:47.420 So,

00:25:48.620 I don't know

00:25:50.020 if the plasma situation

00:25:52.660 actually works.

00:25:53.520 I do know

00:25:53.960 that there's some,

00:25:54.780 at least one study

00:25:55.680 as Anatoly said

00:25:56.760 that showed it didn't.

00:25:57.920 So now we have

00:25:59.080 a study that shows

00:25:59.940 it didn't,

00:26:00.920 a newer study

00:26:01.600 that shows it does,

00:26:03.460 but apparently

00:26:04.280 the newer study

00:26:05.060 that shows it does,

00:26:06.460 according to Anatoly,

00:26:08.140 was a small study

00:26:09.320 and not well constructed.

00:26:11.940 So,

00:26:12.380 we just don't know

00:26:13.940 if it works,

00:26:14.500 I would say.

00:26:15.360 I don't trust

00:26:16.100 any of the studies

00:26:17.060 until you've had

00:26:18.360 lots of confirmation

00:26:19.360 of them.

00:26:21.840 Here's one of the things

00:26:22.820 that,

00:26:23.960 oh,

00:26:24.180 and let me

00:26:24.780 back up to

00:26:26.900 something I've been

00:26:27.680 talking about before.

00:26:28.780 I told you

00:26:29.260 I was going to form

00:26:30.720 a news review board,

00:26:34.740 if you will.

00:26:35.700 It's a brand new idea

00:26:37.240 and the idea

00:26:37.840 is to find

00:26:38.260 some independent thinkers

00:26:39.620 who you could rely on

00:26:41.700 to tell you

00:26:42.160 what fake news

00:26:43.200 is fake news.

00:26:45.200 Now,

00:26:46.340 that should be helpful

00:26:47.740 for people on the left

00:26:48.780 and the right.

00:26:50.180 It's not about

00:26:50.920 just calling out CNN.

00:26:52.360 It's about calling out

00:26:53.300 everybody.

00:26:54.260 So,

00:26:54.460 it doesn't matter

00:26:54.920 if you're left or right.

00:26:57.200 And,

00:26:57.940 at first I thought

00:26:58.980 I would organize it,

00:27:00.880 meaning actually have

00:27:02.060 a group of people

00:27:03.280 who talk to each other

00:27:04.280 and they know exactly

00:27:06.140 what the topic is

00:27:08.260 and then they rule on it

00:27:09.280 or something like that.

00:27:10.560 But I'm starting to think

00:27:11.520 maybe I should just

00:27:12.300 create a list

00:27:13.100 of trusted sources

00:27:14.260 and then you can do

00:27:15.760 what you want.

00:27:16.640 You can go

00:27:17.140 follow them

00:27:18.200 and you'll get,

00:27:19.300 you know,

00:27:19.620 just follow them

00:27:20.260 and you'll get better ideas.

00:27:21.720 I'll tell you

00:27:22.160 who's on the list so far

00:27:23.120 for different topics.

00:27:25.660 Andres Backhaus,

00:27:27.780 Michael Schellenberger,

00:27:29.480 Michael Tracy,

00:27:30.920 Eric Weinstein,

00:27:33.040 Christopher Hill

00:27:33.760 who also is great

00:27:36.100 at just using the logic

00:27:37.940 of anything

00:27:38.420 that's technology related.

00:27:40.380 And then,

00:27:40.880 I'm going to put

00:27:41.340 Anatoly Lubarsky on there.

00:27:43.180 Now,

00:27:43.380 none of these people

00:27:44.020 asked to be on my list

00:27:45.340 and they may not be happy

00:27:47.920 to be on the list.

00:27:48.800 I don't know.

00:27:49.140 I'm just saying

00:27:50.460 that if you were

00:27:51.460 to follow the people

00:27:52.620 I mentioned

00:27:53.100 and I'll add to it

00:27:54.040 as I go,

00:27:55.780 you would get

00:27:56.860 the point

00:27:57.620 and the counterpoint

00:27:59.260 to a lot of things

00:28:00.460 which you've only

00:28:01.200 seen the point to.

00:28:03.120 If you've only seen

00:28:04.200 a claim,

00:28:05.060 you don't know anything.

00:28:06.780 So,

00:28:07.220 these are the people

00:28:07.980 that you would rely on

00:28:09.020 to look for,

00:28:09.740 to know where

00:28:10.160 the counterclaims are

00:28:11.240 and to look at

00:28:12.020 the counterclaims

00:28:12.880 and the claims

00:28:13.480 and give you a sense

00:28:15.000 what's crazy

00:28:15.660 and what's not.

00:28:16.400 It doesn't mean

00:28:18.220 that these are the people

00:28:19.740 who will be right

00:28:20.680 every time.

00:28:22.060 It does mean

00:28:23.100 that they're very smart

00:28:24.640 and they have

00:28:25.800 independent minds

00:28:26.780 and they have

00:28:27.480 a background

00:28:28.200 and history

00:28:28.880 of being wherever

00:28:30.220 the data goes.

00:28:31.840 Very rare.

00:28:33.200 They're very rare

00:28:33.860 to find people

00:28:34.560 who will follow

00:28:35.060 the data

00:28:35.560 and the logic

00:28:36.260 and will do it

00:28:37.380 in public

00:28:37.820 and will do it

00:28:38.540 consistently.

00:28:39.600 I named a few.

00:28:40.600 I'll be adding people

00:28:41.520 as we go.

00:28:42.900 All right.

00:28:43.620 So,

00:28:43.860 that's where that's at.

00:28:44.620 I don't know

00:28:45.040 that it needs

00:28:45.440 to be organized

00:28:46.180 maybe you just

00:28:47.040 need to know

00:28:47.480 who these

00:28:47.940 better minds are

00:28:50.240 and you can follow them.

00:28:51.780 All right.

00:28:53.220 We've learned recently

00:28:54.180 that these

00:28:55.980 super spreaders

00:28:56.900 are the big problem

00:28:57.900 and that those people

00:28:59.040 who are super spreaders

00:29:00.000 literally have more virus

00:29:01.940 in their mouth

00:29:02.800 and nose.

00:29:03.920 So,

00:29:04.260 you can find

00:29:05.000 that some people

00:29:05.560 just have a big dose

00:29:06.760 and when they talk

00:29:08.540 or sneeze

00:29:09.240 or whatever they do

00:29:10.020 or cough

00:29:11.060 they have more virus

00:29:13.400 to send out

00:29:14.060 and that's worse.

00:29:15.080 here's a question

00:29:17.160 I ask

00:29:17.780 and

00:29:18.760 I assume

00:29:20.080 this is not possible

00:29:21.320 but I just like

00:29:23.460 to think of

00:29:23.980 fun optimistic

00:29:25.180 things sometimes

00:29:26.060 so don't take this

00:29:26.920 too seriously.

00:29:27.520 if a gigantic

00:29:30.280 amount of virus

00:29:31.220 in your mouth

00:29:32.040 means something

00:29:33.280 could you invent

00:29:35.240 is it possible

00:29:37.760 a lozenge

00:29:39.520 that would turn

00:29:42.020 color

00:29:42.480 or change taste

00:29:44.440 if you had

00:29:45.920 the presence

00:29:46.600 of a lot of

00:29:47.280 coronavirus?

00:29:49.680 Is that possible?

00:29:51.080 Now the first

00:29:52.560 thing I say

00:29:53.060 is

00:29:53.260 the cheap

00:29:55.040 fast tests

00:29:56.040 are a chemical

00:29:58.020 reaction

00:29:58.520 in which

00:29:59.000 something

00:29:59.380 changes

00:30:00.000 color

00:30:00.540 right?

00:30:02.040 So

00:30:02.480 are those

00:30:03.260 deadly chemicals?

00:30:04.620 Are those

00:30:04.900 chemicals

00:30:05.240 you would never

00:30:05.740 want to put

00:30:06.260 in your body?

00:30:07.320 They should only

00:30:07.940 be in the

00:30:08.780 chemistry test

00:30:10.360 or

00:30:11.680 is there any

00:30:13.480 way you can

00:30:13.920 make a lozenge

00:30:14.760 that would

00:30:16.360 you suck on

00:30:17.100 it for a while

00:30:17.580 and then you

00:30:17.900 take it out

00:30:18.360 and look at it

00:30:18.920 and find out

00:30:19.720 if it changed

00:30:20.320 colors?

00:30:21.620 And you

00:30:21.940 could just

00:30:22.260 take one

00:30:22.960 every day

00:30:23.440 just take a

00:30:24.960 lozenge

00:30:25.380 every day

00:30:25.840 Now

00:30:26.660 suppose

00:30:27.660 there was

00:30:28.940 also a

00:30:29.440 lozenge

00:30:30.340 that you

00:30:31.100 knew would

00:30:31.540 kill

00:30:31.980 coronavirus

00:30:32.620 and you

00:30:35.000 said

00:30:35.320 hey everybody

00:30:36.000 we don't

00:30:36.520 know if

00:30:36.820 you have

00:30:37.040 coronavirus

00:30:37.440 or not

00:30:38.180 but

00:30:38.460 why don't

00:30:39.480 you

00:30:39.800 just

00:30:40.260 maybe

00:30:40.920 chew on

00:30:41.460 some of

00:30:41.740 these

00:30:41.900 lozenges

00:30:42.400 a few

00:30:43.020 times a

00:30:43.480 day

00:30:43.660 would that

00:30:44.880 make a

00:30:45.180 difference?

00:30:45.640 If you

00:30:45.960 used the

00:30:46.320 right

00:30:46.520 mouthwash

00:30:47.360 would it

00:30:47.780 get rid

00:30:48.060 of the

00:30:48.280 coronavirus

00:30:48.620 in your

00:30:49.160 mouth

00:30:49.420 or

00:30:50.260 do you

00:30:50.760 need

00:30:51.020 something

00:30:52.100 more

00:30:52.440 specific

00:30:53.040 to get

00:30:54.320 rid of

00:30:54.600 a

00:30:54.760 virus

00:30:55.060 in your

00:30:55.420 mouth

00:30:55.700 and secondly

00:30:56.760 if you

00:30:57.440 could get

00:30:57.840 rid of

00:30:58.120 your

00:30:58.280 virus

00:30:58.640 with

00:30:58.880 mouthwash

00:30:59.520 or lozenge

00:31:00.260 or just

00:31:00.840 some

00:31:01.120 physical

00:31:02.280 process

00:31:03.260 how long

00:31:04.660 would it

00:31:04.980 take

00:31:05.380 for your

00:31:06.360 mouth

00:31:06.600 to be

00:31:06.880 full of

00:31:07.200 virus

00:31:07.500 again

00:31:07.780 in other

00:31:08.300 words

00:31:08.460 if you

00:31:08.700 killed

00:31:08.960 everything

00:31:09.300 on the

00:31:09.600 surface

00:31:09.900 of your

00:31:10.240 tongue

00:31:10.560 on the

00:31:10.900 inside

00:31:11.140 of your

00:31:11.360 mouth

00:31:11.680 would it

00:31:12.620 be five

00:31:13.180 minutes

00:31:13.420 later

00:31:13.700 it's

00:31:13.880 full

00:31:14.060 again

00:31:14.320 or is

00:31:15.540 it

00:31:15.700 tomorrow

00:31:16.360 because

00:31:17.520 that's a

00:31:17.780 big deal

00:31:18.140 right

00:31:18.420 if it's

00:31:19.360 tomorrow

00:31:19.800 all you

00:31:21.360 need is

00:31:21.620 mouthwash

00:31:22.180 to end

00:31:22.440 the

00:31:22.580 pandemic

00:31:22.940 right

00:31:24.700 am I

00:31:25.860 wrong

00:31:26.080 about

00:31:26.280 that

00:31:26.560 but I

00:31:27.400 don't

00:31:27.540 think

00:31:27.740 it's

00:31:27.920 tomorrow

00:31:28.220 it's

00:31:28.520 probably

00:31:29.060 closer

00:31:29.820 to five

00:31:30.340 minutes

00:31:30.720 than it

00:31:31.080 is to

00:31:31.460 tomorrow

00:31:32.180 how long

00:31:33.060 it would

00:31:33.240 take to

00:31:33.560 produce more

00:31:34.240 virus

00:31:35.180 to live

00:31:35.780 in your

00:31:36.000 mouth

00:31:36.300 so people

00:31:39.600 are joking

00:31:40.960 about bleach

00:31:41.600 it does

00:31:42.400 seem to

00:31:42.740 me

00:31:43.360 have you

00:31:44.180 ever seen

00:31:44.520 those

00:31:44.840 teeth

00:31:46.520 cleaning

00:31:46.960 lights

00:31:47.520 where you

00:31:48.580 put the

00:31:49.000 solution

00:31:49.480 on your

00:31:49.840 teeth

00:31:50.140 and then

00:31:50.480 they shine

00:31:50.860 this blue

00:31:51.340 light on

00:31:51.800 you

00:31:51.980 to help

00:31:53.100 the chemical

00:31:53.940 do its

00:31:54.320 reaction

00:31:54.680 it does

00:31:55.920 seem to

00:31:56.280 me

00:31:56.480 like you

00:31:57.000 could have

00:31:57.280 some kind

00:31:57.720 of a

00:31:58.100 UV light

00:31:59.080 if it's

00:32:00.220 the right

00:32:00.800 kind

00:32:01.100 I think

00:32:01.400 it's

00:32:01.540 far UV

00:32:02.000 or something

00:32:02.480 or UVC

00:32:03.200 that you

00:32:04.120 could just

00:32:04.400 stick in

00:32:04.700 your mouth

00:32:05.140 literally

00:32:06.480 like a

00:32:07.020 flashlight

00:32:07.400 in your

00:32:07.860 mouth

00:32:08.220 and just

00:32:09.140 go

00:32:09.420 stick it

00:32:11.140 in there

00:32:11.400 with a

00:32:11.680 UVC

00:32:12.100 light

00:32:12.400 and clean

00:32:13.940 in you

00:32:15.040 know

00:32:15.200 maybe

00:32:15.700 30 seconds

00:32:16.820 clean all

00:32:17.480 of the

00:32:17.740 virus

00:32:18.100 that's

00:32:18.720 at least

00:32:19.200 on a

00:32:19.580 surface

00:32:20.020 and your

00:32:20.940 mouth

00:32:21.260 would it

00:32:22.080 hurt you

00:32:22.400 I don't

00:32:22.780 think the

00:32:23.240 far UVC

00:32:24.040 light would

00:32:24.500 hurt you

00:32:24.860 I think

00:32:25.300 other kind

00:32:25.780 might

00:32:26.100 but

00:32:26.860 here's my

00:32:29.800 main point

00:32:30.980 if the

00:32:32.760 biggest

00:32:33.340 lever that

00:32:34.520 you could

00:32:34.880 pull

00:32:35.300 turns out

00:32:36.640 to be

00:32:36.960 finding

00:32:37.440 and stopping

00:32:38.460 the super

00:32:39.060 spreaders

00:32:39.560 who have a

00:32:39.920 lot of it

00:32:40.280 in their

00:32:40.580 mouth

00:32:41.020 why don't

00:32:42.300 we go

00:32:42.580 after that

00:32:42.980 directly

00:32:43.420 and just

00:32:44.720 make everybody

00:32:45.380 put something

00:32:46.100 in their

00:32:46.380 mouth

00:32:46.640 that kills

00:32:47.120 it three

00:32:47.440 times a

00:32:47.860 day

00:32:48.040 and see

00:32:48.820 what happens

00:32:49.260 after three

00:32:49.780 weeks

00:32:50.100 so

00:32:51.840 anyway

00:32:52.380 I just

00:32:52.680 put that

00:32:53.000 out there

00:32:53.340 I doubt

00:32:54.240 there's any

00:32:55.140 scientific thing

00:32:56.400 there that

00:32:56.740 would work

00:32:57.240 or else

00:32:57.880 we probably

00:32:58.240 know about

00:32:58.620 it

00:32:58.980 all right

00:33:00.680 here's another

00:33:01.780 positive thing

00:33:03.120 there are

00:33:04.660 now new

00:33:05.400 super

00:33:06.700 let's say

00:33:08.160 air purifiers

00:33:09.000 prior to the

00:33:10.620 pandemic

00:33:11.000 there were

00:33:11.700 HEPA filters

00:33:12.480 and air

00:33:13.180 purifiers

00:33:13.580 but

00:33:13.940 they were

00:33:15.200 not quite

00:33:15.940 up to the

00:33:16.480 task

00:33:16.980 right

00:33:17.560 you couldn't

00:33:19.100 just turn on

00:33:19.660 your air

00:33:20.020 purifier

00:33:20.500 and everything's

00:33:21.120 good

00:33:21.320 you needed

00:33:22.300 a leap

00:33:23.220 of technology

00:33:23.960 and now

00:33:24.980 apparently

00:33:25.420 those leaps

00:33:26.600 are happening

00:33:27.660 so there's a

00:33:28.760 company called

00:33:29.340 ActivePure

00:33:30.620 which I believe

00:33:31.780 they do as

00:33:32.380 one word

00:33:33.020 ActivePure

00:33:34.420 so you can

00:33:35.080 google them

00:33:35.640 if you're

00:33:35.920 interested

00:33:36.220 and they make

00:33:37.380 this box

00:33:39.180 that looks like

00:33:40.160 just from the

00:33:40.980 picture it looks

00:33:41.560 like it would

00:33:42.320 fit on a

00:33:42.880 tabletop

00:33:43.760 you know

00:33:44.520 portable thing

00:33:45.180 you just

00:33:45.580 plug in

00:33:46.600 and apparently

00:33:48.380 it's really

00:33:48.940 really good

00:33:49.500 in terms of

00:33:50.520 removing the

00:33:51.560 virus from the

00:33:52.180 air

00:33:52.380 and killing it

00:33:54.360 and it's so

00:33:55.900 good

00:33:56.220 that it might

00:33:57.580 be the difference

00:33:58.220 between opening

00:33:59.020 a restaurant

00:33:59.620 and not

00:34:00.420 that's actually

00:34:01.760 how good it is

00:34:02.460 now these are

00:34:03.520 claims you know

00:34:04.340 you have to be

00:34:04.860 careful about

00:34:05.580 who claims

00:34:06.120 what

00:34:06.380 but

00:34:07.420 what if

00:34:10.000 a restaurant

00:34:10.940 was willing

00:34:12.360 to get one

00:34:13.020 of those

00:34:13.500 or more than

00:34:14.180 one depending

00:34:14.880 on how many

00:34:15.600 zones they have

00:34:16.460 I don't know

00:34:16.960 what they cost

00:34:17.640 but you know

00:34:19.440 people are going

00:34:20.340 to be willing

00:34:20.760 to pay some

00:34:21.240 money to get

00:34:21.960 back in business

00:34:22.640 what about a

00:34:24.620 rule that says

00:34:25.360 if you have

00:34:25.940 one of these

00:34:26.580 per whatever

00:34:27.520 square feet

00:34:28.180 they handle

00:34:28.740 because they

00:34:29.400 only handle

00:34:30.080 a certain amount

00:34:30.620 of square feet

00:34:31.120 what if you had

00:34:32.080 the right amount

00:34:33.020 of these

00:34:33.460 is that a good

00:34:35.740 enough reason

00:34:36.280 to reopen a

00:34:37.220 restaurant

00:34:37.500 I feel as if

00:34:38.960 we should

00:34:39.540 push to get

00:34:42.200 an answer on

00:34:42.760 this really

00:34:43.220 quickly

00:34:43.740 either an

00:34:44.600 up or down

00:34:45.120 right

00:34:45.580 and I'll

00:34:47.360 make a

00:34:47.840 direct call

00:34:49.040 to the

00:34:49.440 Biden

00:34:49.740 administration

00:34:50.540 and say

00:34:52.480 dear Biden

00:34:53.880 administration

00:34:54.600 if you have

00:34:56.100 somebody who

00:34:56.600 could do a

00:34:56.960 quick look

00:34:57.640 at this

00:34:58.480 device

00:34:59.020 and look

00:35:00.000 at the

00:35:00.260 science

00:35:00.640 look at

00:35:00.980 the data

00:35:01.320 they have

00:35:01.760 and just

00:35:02.520 give us

00:35:02.880 an up or

00:35:03.240 down

00:35:03.520 I think

00:35:04.740 the public

00:35:05.160 would like

00:35:05.560 to know

00:35:05.860 that

00:35:06.080 we'd like

00:35:06.580 to know

00:35:06.800 if we can

00:35:07.160 get back

00:35:07.580 to our

00:35:08.060 indoor

00:35:08.480 spaces

00:35:09.000 especially

00:35:10.400 restaurants

00:35:10.980 and recreational

00:35:11.880 things

00:35:12.560 that entire

00:35:13.180 industry

00:35:13.560 has been

00:35:14.180 devastated

00:35:14.680 and we

00:35:15.220 would like

00:35:15.560 to get

00:35:15.840 that back

00:35:16.300 on track

00:35:17.220 so Biden

00:35:18.540 administration

00:35:19.160 up or down

00:35:20.840 are these

00:35:21.720 things

00:35:21.980 do they

00:35:22.380 make enough

00:35:22.760 difference

00:35:23.160 to maybe

00:35:24.200 recommend

00:35:24.700 and maybe

00:35:25.240 fund

00:35:25.580 maybe Biden

00:35:26.860 would say

00:35:27.340 let's

00:35:28.300 give you

00:35:29.660 some financial

00:35:30.280 aid

00:35:30.620 to get

00:35:31.120 some of

00:35:31.400 these

00:35:31.600 into

00:35:32.060 probably

00:35:33.740 senior

00:35:34.340 citizen

00:35:34.740 homes

00:35:35.140 and restaurants

00:35:35.800 and anywhere

00:35:36.400 that we

00:35:36.700 need them

00:35:37.140 now all

00:35:38.820 this depends

00:35:39.340 on the fact

00:35:39.800 that this

00:35:40.140 technology

00:35:40.600 works

00:35:41.080 I'm not

00:35:41.760 the one

00:35:42.040 who can

00:35:42.380 guarantee

00:35:42.720 that

00:35:43.120 I'll just

00:35:44.200 tell you

00:35:44.500 their claims

00:35:45.200 and there

00:35:46.100 have been

00:35:46.500 at least

00:35:47.140 some research

00:35:47.840 and studies

00:35:48.400 all right

00:35:50.560 you've probably

00:35:51.180 seen the video

00:35:51.780 if you're

00:35:52.180 on social

00:35:52.500 media

00:35:52.800 in Tacoma

00:35:55.040 that there

00:35:56.380 was a police

00:35:56.940 car that

00:35:57.420 was set

00:35:57.880 upon by a

00:35:58.560 mob

00:35:58.900 and the

00:35:59.300 mob

00:35:59.520 was jostling

00:36:00.260 the police

00:36:00.760 car

00:36:01.120 and they

00:36:01.460 surrounded

00:36:01.800 it

00:36:02.080 and the

00:36:04.360 police

00:36:04.720 car decided

00:36:05.400 that it

00:36:05.760 would have

00:36:06.060 none of

00:36:06.400 that

00:36:06.660 and just

00:36:07.700 drove forward

00:36:09.480 and it

00:36:10.700 looked like

00:36:11.060 they ran

00:36:11.480 over

00:36:11.780 completely

00:36:12.860 one of

00:36:13.500 the protesters

00:36:14.080 so at

00:36:15.180 least one

00:36:15.560 person

00:36:15.880 got hurt

00:36:16.440 and I

00:36:17.700 thought it

00:36:18.280 looked like

00:36:18.720 I saw

00:36:19.060 the tires

00:36:19.540 go over

00:36:20.180 a person

00:36:20.700 like all

00:36:21.300 four tires

00:36:21.980 I thought

00:36:22.940 I saw

00:36:23.260 that but

00:36:23.560 it was hard

00:36:23.840 to tell

00:36:24.140 in the video

00:36:24.600 that might

00:36:25.420 have been

00:36:25.640 an inanimate

00:36:26.320 object of

00:36:27.100 some type

00:36:27.580 that they

00:36:28.280 were going

00:36:28.600 over

00:36:28.840 but it

00:36:29.160 looked like

00:36:29.420 a person

00:36:29.800 and this

00:36:31.920 is what

00:36:32.160 I have to

00:36:32.500 say about

00:36:32.780 this

00:36:33.040 do we

00:36:34.140 all agree

00:36:34.620 we don't

00:36:36.240 want

00:36:36.420 violence

00:36:37.000 if you

00:36:38.720 can avoid

00:36:39.160 violence

00:36:39.780 nobody

00:36:40.620 promotes

00:36:41.180 it

00:36:41.460 nobody

00:36:41.840 celebrates

00:36:42.400 it

00:36:42.920 we're all

00:36:43.820 adults

00:36:44.200 here

00:36:44.540 we know

00:36:45.440 that violence

00:36:45.960 has no

00:36:46.440 place

00:36:46.900 except in

00:36:48.420 defense

00:36:48.820 can we be

00:36:50.760 adult enough

00:36:51.340 to say

00:36:51.720 that in

00:36:52.300 self-defense

00:36:53.080 nationals

00:36:54.460 for defense

00:36:54.980 as well

00:36:55.440 that violence

00:36:57.160 unfortunately

00:36:57.760 is a

00:36:58.420 necessary

00:36:59.000 tool

00:36:59.680 in some

00:37:00.380 cases

00:37:00.740 and there's

00:37:01.360 just no

00:37:01.700 way around

00:37:02.140 it

00:37:02.360 this is

00:37:04.180 one of

00:37:04.480 those

00:37:04.660 cases

00:37:05.080 I would

00:37:06.620 like to

00:37:07.000 see a

00:37:07.560 lot more

00:37:08.140 I hope

00:37:09.040 I can

00:37:09.300 say this

00:37:09.660 on social

00:37:10.040 media

00:37:10.320 without

00:37:10.560 being

00:37:10.800 banned

00:37:11.160 but I

00:37:12.280 think the

00:37:12.660 best thing

00:37:13.100 that could

00:37:13.360 happen to

00:37:13.860 Tacoma

00:37:14.320 is a

00:37:14.840 whole bunch

00:37:15.980 more police

00:37:16.800 cars

00:37:17.200 running over

00:37:18.740 a whole bunch

00:37:19.400 more people

00:37:19.960 who surround

00:37:20.500 police cars

00:37:21.440 on top of

00:37:22.580 that I

00:37:23.180 think citizens

00:37:23.840 should be

00:37:24.440 doing a lot

00:37:25.100 more of it

00:37:25.600 too

00:37:25.920 but unfortunately

00:37:27.100 they're going

00:37:27.480 to go to

00:37:27.820 jail

00:37:28.080 if the

00:37:29.600 judgment

00:37:31.840 is that

00:37:32.460 they could

00:37:33.540 have done

00:37:33.880 something else

00:37:34.540 but I

00:37:35.620 feel as though

00:37:36.260 this trend

00:37:38.120 of cars

00:37:38.940 being surrounded

00:37:39.820 and attacked

00:37:40.680 needs a

00:37:42.300 solution

00:37:42.720 and I don't

00:37:44.360 see the

00:37:44.680 government

00:37:45.000 being involved

00:37:45.800 do you

00:37:46.440 have you

00:37:47.200 seen any

00:37:47.660 government

00:37:48.100 action that

00:37:48.820 would make

00:37:49.140 any difference

00:37:49.760 to this

00:37:50.260 I haven't

00:37:51.700 so the only

00:37:52.460 thing I can

00:37:52.960 imagine

00:37:53.500 that would

00:37:54.420 stop the

00:37:54.920 trend

00:37:55.240 is that

00:37:55.780 every time

00:37:56.300 you see

00:37:56.600 one of

00:37:56.860 these stories

00:37:57.300 it goes

00:37:57.660 like the

00:37:58.040 Tacoma

00:37:58.380 story

00:37:58.780 a car

00:38:00.000 was surrounded

00:38:00.820 and then

00:38:01.440 the car

00:38:01.800 ran over

00:38:02.280 the people

00:38:02.700 in front

00:38:03.120 how many

00:38:04.400 times do

00:38:04.860 you need

00:38:05.080 to hear

00:38:05.320 that story

00:38:06.100 before it

00:38:07.040 stops happening

00:38:07.700 so now

00:38:08.880 we've heard

00:38:09.220 it once

00:38:10.000 and maybe

00:38:10.600 it's happened

00:38:11.000 a few times

00:38:11.560 in the past

00:38:12.060 it needs

00:38:12.900 to be

00:38:13.160 every time

00:38:13.760 and those

00:38:15.440 people need

00:38:16.060 not to be

00:38:16.640 punished

00:38:17.020 in fact

00:38:18.480 here's what

00:38:18.900 I like

00:38:19.320 I'd love

00:38:20.920 to see

00:38:21.220 our government

00:38:21.720 say

00:38:22.080 that we

00:38:23.760 don't plan

00:38:24.760 to prosecute

00:38:25.560 anybody

00:38:26.000 who gets

00:38:26.800 out of a

00:38:27.220 situation

00:38:27.680 that way

00:38:28.300 if your

00:38:29.480 car is

00:38:29.920 surrounded

00:38:30.300 you have

00:38:31.440 the right

00:38:31.920 of self

00:38:32.320 defense

00:38:32.840 let me

00:38:33.920 put this

00:38:34.280 out there

00:38:34.700 sooner or

00:38:36.560 later

00:38:36.740 there will

00:38:37.060 be

00:38:37.320 somebody

00:38:39.060 is going

00:38:39.360 to be

00:38:39.700 prosecuted

00:38:41.100 for this

00:38:41.420 there's going

00:38:41.980 to be a

00:38:42.240 trial

00:38:42.600 in which

00:38:43.660 somebody's

00:38:44.160 car was

00:38:44.540 surrounded

00:38:44.920 and they

00:38:45.460 got out of

00:38:46.000 it by

00:38:46.260 running

00:38:46.540 over

00:38:46.800 somebody

00:38:47.280 and injuring

00:38:48.620 them

00:38:48.840 or killing

00:38:49.280 them

00:38:49.740 I want

00:38:51.260 to say

00:38:51.480 this in

00:38:51.860 public

00:38:52.300 as part

00:38:53.560 of their

00:38:53.840 defense

00:38:54.380 so they

00:38:55.240 can actually

00:38:55.600 use this

00:38:56.080 video

00:38:56.360 later

00:38:56.720 to me

00:38:58.700 as a

00:38:59.140 reasonable

00:38:59.520 human

00:38:59.980 this is

00:39:00.920 my

00:39:01.120 opinion

00:39:01.600 not my

00:39:02.220 legal

00:39:02.600 opinion

00:39:03.020 I'm not

00:39:03.960 a lawyer

00:39:04.340 in my

00:39:05.360 opinion

00:39:05.720 as a

00:39:06.240 reasonable

00:39:06.660 person

00:39:07.180 this is

00:39:08.340 self

00:39:08.560 defense

00:39:09.060 and it's

00:39:10.280 unambiguous

00:39:10.980 self defense

00:39:11.780 and the

00:39:12.780 reason I say

00:39:13.280 this in

00:39:13.620 public

00:39:13.900 is that

00:39:14.360 I'm a

00:39:14.780 reasonable

00:39:15.340 public

00:39:15.780 figure

00:39:16.160 and that

00:39:18.180 if you're

00:39:18.800 a jury

00:39:20.100 and someday

00:39:21.260 you're wondering

00:39:21.840 to yourself

00:39:22.420 was this

00:39:22.980 person

00:39:23.280 being

00:39:23.520 reasonable

00:39:24.080 that

00:39:25.200 person

00:39:25.500 can

00:39:25.720 call

00:39:25.960 on this

00:39:26.300 video

00:39:26.600 and say

00:39:27.060 look

00:39:27.340 other

00:39:28.800 people

00:39:29.160 are

00:39:29.440 reasonable

00:39:29.840 and they

00:39:30.400 say the

00:39:30.800 same

00:39:31.120 damn

00:39:31.380 thing

00:39:31.680 that

00:39:32.620 in this

00:39:33.160 situation

00:39:33.720 it is

00:39:34.740 self

00:39:34.980 defense

00:39:35.480 even if

00:39:36.700 you're

00:39:36.900 not

00:39:37.140 let's

00:39:38.600 say

00:39:38.900 let's

00:39:39.320 say

00:39:39.480 that

00:39:39.680 windows

00:39:40.060 haven't

00:39:40.460 been

00:39:40.660 broken

00:39:41.020 and so

00:39:42.340 arguably

00:39:43.060 you could

00:39:43.620 say

00:39:43.900 you're

00:39:44.160 not

00:39:44.360 quite

00:39:44.780 in an

00:39:45.360 imminent

00:39:45.760 threat

00:39:46.360 would that

00:39:47.600 be the

00:39:48.100 argument

00:39:48.920 it wasn't

00:39:49.520 imminent

00:39:49.980 enough

00:39:50.440 because

00:39:50.740 your windows

00:39:51.260 were still

00:39:51.780 intact

00:39:52.240 not good

00:39:53.620 enough

00:39:53.960 because

00:39:54.640 the time

00:39:55.120 it would

00:39:55.360 take

00:39:55.640 between

00:39:56.040 breaking

00:39:56.520 a window

00:39:57.000 and dragging

00:39:57.760 your body

00:39:58.360 out

00:39:58.720 is too

00:40:00.200 short

00:40:00.580 too short

00:40:02.180 that's like

00:40:03.200 saying a gun

00:40:03.780 is pointed

00:40:04.140 at your head

00:40:04.600 but they

00:40:04.860 haven't pulled

00:40:05.280 the trigger

00:40:05.720 yet

00:40:06.140 it's still

00:40:07.440 imminent

00:40:07.820 you can

00:40:08.900 kill the

00:40:09.240 person who

00:40:09.640 has a gun

00:40:10.000 at your

00:40:10.240 head

00:40:10.520 that's

00:40:11.500 fair

00:40:11.760 and I

00:40:12.700 want to

00:40:13.000 add to

00:40:13.360 that

00:40:13.660 that the

00:40:14.420 car being

00:40:15.300 surrounded

00:40:15.720 is identical

00:40:16.620 in my

00:40:17.720 reasonable

00:40:18.260 citizen

00:40:18.860 mind

00:40:19.460 so

00:40:20.440 any

00:40:20.860 jurors

00:40:21.600 who are

00:40:21.840 looking at

00:40:22.300 this in

00:40:22.620 the future

00:40:23.060 I would

00:40:24.520 ask you

00:40:24.960 does it

00:40:26.180 seem

00:40:26.440 unreasonable

00:40:27.160 to get

00:40:28.820 into that

00:40:29.240 situation

00:40:29.800 with force

00:40:30.600 I think

00:40:31.440 you will

00:40:31.760 agree with

00:40:32.180 me

00:40:32.380 that if

00:40:33.120 you were

00:40:33.420 in that

00:40:33.680 situation

00:40:34.160 you'd want

00:40:34.860 to get

00:40:35.080 out of it

00:40:35.520 before the

00:40:36.140 windows

00:40:36.400 were broken

00:40:36.940 so I

00:40:38.020 support the

00:40:38.580 police officer

00:40:39.220 who did

00:40:39.620 that

00:40:39.920 I would

00:40:40.720 be terribly

00:40:41.320 disappointed

00:40:41.920 if there

00:40:42.420 were any

00:40:42.720 charges

00:40:43.060 about that

00:40:43.800 they obviously

00:40:44.420 have to

00:40:44.740 look into

00:40:45.180 it

00:40:45.380 but

00:40:45.600 that's a

00:40:46.940 police officer

00:40:47.560 who served

00:40:48.860 the public

00:40:49.660 that somebody

00:40:50.980 deserves

00:40:51.520 a commendation

00:40:53.520 maybe quietly

00:40:54.360 but a

00:40:55.620 commendation

00:40:56.300 here's the

00:41:00.560 funniest but

00:41:01.220 most tragic

00:41:01.800 part about

00:41:02.360 the story

00:41:02.940 in the news

00:41:04.100 today not

00:41:04.620 that story

00:41:05.100 but the

00:41:05.500 world

00:41:06.140 is that

00:41:07.680 Democrats

00:41:09.300 who voted

00:41:10.480 for Biden

00:41:12.300 will tell

00:41:12.960 you in many

00:41:13.680 cases that

00:41:14.240 they were

00:41:14.480 really voting

00:41:15.060 against Trump

00:41:16.220 now what

00:41:17.520 is the

00:41:17.900 downside

00:41:18.420 of having

00:41:20.060 a strategy

00:41:20.580 where you're

00:41:21.080 voting against

00:41:22.000 somebody

00:41:22.760 not so much

00:41:24.880 for somebody

00:41:26.660 could that

00:41:28.000 ever come

00:41:28.460 back and

00:41:28.880 bite you

00:41:29.220 in the ass

00:41:29.780 well

00:41:30.660 one way

00:41:31.880 that could

00:41:32.220 go bad

00:41:32.660 is if the

00:41:34.420 person you

00:41:34.940 voted for

00:41:36.040 was not

00:41:37.320 quite as

00:41:37.960 stellar

00:41:38.360 as you

00:41:39.680 would imagine

00:41:40.180 in your

00:41:40.680 mind

00:41:41.120 and now

00:41:42.220 we're going

00:41:42.500 to see that

00:41:43.020 start to

00:41:43.680 play out

00:41:44.520 and you

00:41:45.360 can guarantee

00:41:45.920 that's going

00:41:46.380 to happen

00:41:46.760 there will

00:41:47.300 be buyer's

00:41:47.940 remorse

00:41:48.460 because number

00:41:49.580 one people

00:41:50.120 didn't really

00:41:50.620 care too

00:41:51.160 much what

00:41:51.520 Biden was

00:41:51.980 going to

00:41:52.200 do

00:41:52.420 so they

00:41:53.520 didn't look

00:41:53.860 into it

00:41:54.200 that much

00:41:55.640 I think

00:41:56.780 that's a

00:41:57.160 fair general

00:41:58.520 statement

00:41:58.960 that people

00:41:59.640 didn't care

00:42:00.260 so much

00:42:00.640 what Biden

00:42:01.080 was going

00:42:01.440 to do

00:42:01.740 they just

00:42:02.580 cared he

00:42:02.960 wasn't

00:42:03.200 Trump

00:42:03.480 they say

00:42:04.240 that directly

00:42:04.800 I'm not

00:42:05.220 reading minds

00:42:06.140 people say

00:42:06.620 that pretty

00:42:07.000 directly

00:42:07.340 so now

00:42:09.200 you're going

00:42:09.460 to watch

00:42:09.740 what he

00:42:10.020 actually does

00:42:10.760 and the

00:42:12.340 first week

00:42:12.900 a little

00:42:14.380 rough

00:42:14.760 and none

00:42:16.640 of this

00:42:16.900 is funny

00:42:17.300 by the

00:42:17.600 way

00:42:17.820 because

00:42:19.520 there are

00:42:19.860 real people

00:42:20.340 getting hurt

00:42:20.800 with this

00:42:21.160 stuff

00:42:21.420 but let me

00:42:21.940 give you some

00:42:22.420 we'll walk

00:42:23.180 through it

00:42:23.620 and this

00:42:25.460 is where

00:42:25.880 you learn

00:42:26.840 the difference

00:42:27.360 between an

00:42:28.140 opinion

00:42:28.560 and a

00:42:29.940 half

00:42:30.240 opinion

00:42:30.600 now I

00:42:31.960 made up

00:42:32.300 this word

00:42:32.680 a half

00:42:33.140 opinion

00:42:33.460 to cover

00:42:34.680 the situation

00:42:35.280 where people

00:42:36.000 will look

00:42:36.380 at the

00:42:36.660 cost of

00:42:37.200 something

00:42:37.500 but not

00:42:37.860 the benefits

00:42:38.400 or they'll

00:42:39.440 look at

00:42:39.680 the benefits

00:42:40.240 and not

00:42:41.040 the costs

00:42:41.520 and Democrats

00:42:42.900 do that

00:42:43.500 all the time

00:42:44.760 it's almost

00:42:45.360 a defining

00:42:46.020 feature

00:42:46.500 of the left

00:42:47.340 that is not

00:42:48.620 as common

00:42:49.080 on the right

00:42:49.660 on the right

00:42:51.040 people will say

00:42:51.880 well if you do

00:42:52.980 this

00:42:53.380 it's going to

00:42:54.140 have this cost

00:42:54.960 so let's

00:42:55.720 balance that

00:42:56.540 on the

00:42:57.680 on the left

00:42:58.260 they'll say

00:42:58.720 let's do this

00:43:00.180 let's do this

00:43:02.420 because we like

00:43:03.040 we like fresh air

00:43:04.300 yeah fresh air

00:43:05.820 is good

00:43:06.120 let's do this

00:43:07.160 but they haven't

00:43:08.540 figured out what

00:43:09.020 that's going to

00:43:09.460 cost them

00:43:09.920 they're starting

00:43:11.140 to learn that

00:43:12.040 via a process

00:43:13.480 called the news

00:43:14.440 be it as it may

00:43:17.560 so here are the

00:43:19.180 things going on

00:43:19.800 so Biden does

00:43:21.160 the 60 day

00:43:21.980 moratorium on

00:43:22.900 new oil

00:43:23.500 and natural gas

00:43:24.720 leases

00:43:25.140 and New Mexico

00:43:27.140 the state of New

00:43:28.060 Mexico is saying

00:43:28.900 yay

00:43:29.820 yay Joe Biden

00:43:31.260 who we voted

00:43:32.280 into office

00:43:32.920 as a blue state

00:43:34.440 yay Joe Biden

00:43:35.780 wait you're doing

00:43:36.680 what

00:43:36.980 you're going to

00:43:38.940 cripple our oil

00:43:39.720 industry

00:43:40.140 and so

00:43:41.400 apparently

00:43:41.780 New Mexico

00:43:42.460 has started

00:43:43.000 to realize

00:43:43.660 that if

00:43:44.580 Joe Biden

00:43:45.060 does exactly

00:43:45.820 what he promised

00:43:46.560 to do

00:43:47.040 and apparently

00:43:47.740 he is

00:43:48.200 at least on

00:43:49.960 oil drilling

00:43:50.620 etc

00:43:51.020 that they will

00:43:52.960 lose a ton

00:43:53.700 of money

00:43:54.280 in their tax

00:43:55.080 space

00:43:55.440 that pays

00:43:56.140 for their

00:43:56.540 schools

00:43:56.960 and their

00:43:57.380 health services

00:43:58.100 so New Mexico

00:43:59.580 just realized

00:44:00.500 that they had

00:44:01.880 been suffering

00:44:02.440 under a half

00:44:03.280 opinion

00:44:03.620 and they

00:44:04.600 just figured

00:44:05.100 out what

00:44:05.400 the other

00:44:05.720 half was

00:44:06.320 you lose

00:44:07.620 your school

00:44:08.720 funding

00:44:09.140 you lose

00:44:09.600 your state

00:44:10.280 funding

00:44:10.660 you lose

00:44:11.400 your jobs

00:44:12.000 but is New

00:44:14.220 Mexico the

00:44:14.840 only ones

00:44:15.460 no

00:44:15.720 because

00:44:16.120 Biden also

00:44:17.160 is going to

00:44:17.680 cancel the

00:44:18.180 Keystone pipeline

00:44:19.060 which should

00:44:20.480 cost a lot

00:44:23.060 of jobs

00:44:23.680 and the

00:44:25.240 unions

00:44:25.760 that supported

00:44:26.800 Biden

00:44:27.200 are going to

00:44:28.520 lose a lot

00:44:29.400 of union

00:44:30.060 jobs

00:44:30.620 and they're

00:44:31.160 now realizing

00:44:31.800 it

00:44:32.100 why

00:44:32.560 because it

00:44:33.600 turns out

00:44:34.040 that get

00:44:34.720 rid of the

00:44:35.180 Keystone pipeline

00:44:36.100 was a half

00:44:37.720 opinion

00:44:38.120 now they've

00:44:40.300 learned

00:44:40.580 that if they

00:44:41.700 had an

00:44:42.180 entire opinion

00:44:43.000 they would

00:44:44.000 have anticipated

00:44:44.640 this loss

00:44:45.440 of jobs

00:44:46.000 and loss

00:44:46.720 of tax

00:44:47.320 revenue

00:44:47.700 now

00:44:48.940 do you think

00:44:50.060 that Trump

00:44:50.640 didn't

00:44:51.880 understand

00:44:52.460 that the

00:44:53.600 Keystone pipeline

00:44:54.500 had an

00:44:54.960 environmental

00:44:55.440 risk

00:44:56.040 of course

00:44:56.900 he did

00:44:57.240 that was

00:44:57.540 the whole

00:44:57.760 point

00:44:58.120 but he also

00:44:59.340 understood

00:44:59.840 it had

00:45:00.240 these other

00:45:00.640 benefits

00:45:01.160 he weighed

00:45:02.080 them

00:45:02.360 and then

00:45:02.940 he made

00:45:03.240 a choice

00:45:03.900 that I

00:45:04.840 would call

00:45:05.280 an opinion

00:45:06.120 a full

00:45:07.000 opinion

00:45:07.340 with the

00:45:08.160 costs and

00:45:08.620 the benefits

00:45:09.080 considered

00:45:09.600 well

00:45:10.820 Democrats

00:45:11.380 are getting

00:45:11.740 a quick

00:45:12.220 lesson

00:45:12.560 on what

00:45:13.080 an opinion

00:45:13.760 is

00:45:14.180 and the

00:45:15.560 half

00:45:15.840 opinion

00:45:16.120 is not

00:45:16.620 serving

00:45:17.020 them

00:45:17.280 as well

00:45:17.720 as they

00:45:18.040 had hoped

00:45:18.380 when they

00:45:18.740 voted

00:45:18.960 for Biden

00:45:19.460 so

00:45:20.980 and then

00:45:21.840 we learned

00:45:22.700 and I don't

00:45:23.060 know the

00:45:23.340 details yet

00:45:23.940 that more

00:45:25.220 troops are

00:45:25.860 moving into

00:45:26.380 Syria

00:45:26.800 for

00:45:29.020 what

00:45:30.520 why are

00:45:31.920 their troops

00:45:32.300 moving into

00:45:32.820 Syria

00:45:33.120 now presumably

00:45:34.460 there's a

00:45:35.280 you know

00:45:35.760 somebody on

00:45:36.360 the ground

00:45:36.800 an American

00:45:37.420 general

00:45:37.920 or somebody

00:45:39.200 said we need

00:45:40.020 these troops

00:45:40.420 for some

00:45:41.100 specific thing

00:45:41.860 but let me

00:45:42.980 ask you this

00:45:43.680 which is your

00:45:45.100 safer situation

00:45:46.300 a president

00:45:48.080 who says

00:45:48.700 no

00:45:49.180 to what

00:45:50.240 generals

00:45:50.640 ask for

00:45:51.360 even with

00:45:51.880 good arguments

00:45:52.540 or a

00:45:54.000 president

00:45:54.340 who says

00:45:55.000 yes

00:45:55.480 because he

00:45:56.680 trusts the

00:45:57.140 experts

00:45:57.660 which is

00:45:59.280 your dangerous

00:45:59.820 situation

00:46:00.440 because Trump

00:46:01.880 was the one

00:46:02.400 who would say

00:46:02.840 no to the

00:46:03.420 generals

00:46:03.760 and even

00:46:04.300 basically

00:46:04.960 called them

00:46:05.440 idiots

00:46:05.800 Biden

00:46:07.420 is the one

00:46:07.980 who would

00:46:08.240 say yes

00:46:08.720 to the

00:46:09.060 generals

00:46:09.440 and would

00:46:10.080 call them

00:46:10.440 the experts

00:46:11.080 which one

00:46:12.860 is the

00:46:13.600 dangerous

00:46:14.000 one

00:46:14.340 well I

00:46:15.960 would say

00:46:16.220 that Trump

00:46:16.620 also took

00:46:17.380 the advice

00:46:18.640 from the

00:46:19.220 experts

00:46:19.620 about how

00:46:20.280 to do

00:46:21.260 the rules

00:46:21.760 of engagement

00:46:22.380 in that

00:46:23.620 example

00:46:24.060 Trump

00:46:24.840 taking

00:46:25.220 their

00:46:25.560 advice

00:46:26.140 probably

00:46:26.980 matched

00:46:27.400 his own

00:46:27.780 opinion

00:46:28.160 so I'm

00:46:29.460 not sure

00:46:29.760 he took

00:46:30.180 their advice

00:46:30.760 so much

00:46:31.720 as they

00:46:32.140 gave him

00:46:32.700 an opinion

00:46:33.080 that matched

00:46:33.600 his own

00:46:34.040 and then

00:46:34.340 he could

00:46:34.560 say yeah

00:46:34.900 we'd like

00:46:35.320 to be

00:46:36.340 a little

00:46:36.720 tougher

00:46:37.480 on those

00:46:37.900 rules

00:46:38.160 of engagement

00:46:38.700 but what

00:46:40.860 if

00:46:41.140 here's the

00:46:41.820 scenario

00:46:42.160 that's

00:46:42.440 scary

00:46:42.760 your general

00:46:44.140 comes in

00:46:44.600 to the

00:46:44.800 president

00:46:45.100 and says

00:46:45.560 president

00:46:46.460 we need

00:46:47.160 a bunch

00:46:47.540 more troops

00:46:48.160 to do

00:46:48.780 this or

00:46:49.240 that

00:46:49.580 that's

00:46:51.500 what

00:46:51.700 generals

00:46:52.180 do

00:46:52.600 the

00:46:53.360 general

00:46:53.680 is never

00:46:54.000 going to

00:46:54.260 ask for

00:46:54.640 less

00:46:55.000 stuff

00:46:55.640 the

00:46:56.460 general

00:46:56.760 is never

00:46:57.120 going to

00:46:57.400 say

00:46:57.640 everything's

00:46:58.700 done

00:46:58.980 let's

00:46:59.260 go home

00:46:59.800 the

00:47:00.980 general

00:47:01.380 is a

00:47:01.740 fighter

00:47:02.020 and the

00:47:02.820 general

00:47:03.080 might want

00:47:03.600 a job

00:47:04.160 in the

00:47:04.840 private

00:47:05.460 sector

00:47:05.900 which would

00:47:06.960 be very

00:47:07.700 happy

00:47:08.040 to have

00:47:08.440 a little

00:47:08.620 more war

00:47:09.220 so do

00:47:11.140 you want

00:47:11.380 the president

00:47:11.900 who knowing

00:47:13.820 the incentives

00:47:14.480 of a general

00:47:15.220 the way a

00:47:15.860 general is going

00:47:16.540 to conduct

00:47:17.180 things which

00:47:17.720 will be

00:47:18.000 more

00:47:18.340 more

00:47:18.600 more

00:47:18.940 just like

00:47:19.940 any leader

00:47:20.440 any good

00:47:21.540 manager

00:47:21.960 in the

00:47:22.220 company

00:47:22.520 is going

00:47:22.980 to go

00:47:23.140 to their

00:47:23.440 CEO

00:47:23.720 and say

00:47:24.200 I need

00:47:25.220 more

00:47:25.520 those other

00:47:26.720 departments

00:47:27.220 I don't know

00:47:28.340 about them

00:47:28.760 but I need

00:47:29.300 more

00:47:29.580 that's every

00:47:30.920 manager

00:47:31.300 in every

00:47:31.740 organization

00:47:32.320 so a general

00:47:33.360 is going to

00:47:33.760 be one of

00:47:34.100 those

00:47:34.380 they want

00:47:35.340 more

00:47:35.700 they need

00:47:36.660 to do

00:47:36.940 more

00:47:37.240 that's how

00:47:38.160 they get

00:47:38.600 their own

00:47:40.280 career

00:47:40.700 does well

00:47:41.540 that's how

00:47:42.800 they get

00:47:43.380 that job

00:47:43.920 later in

00:47:44.380 private

00:47:44.660 industry

00:47:45.160 so

00:47:46.520 it feels

00:47:47.740 like

00:47:48.180 Trump

00:47:49.360 had been

00:47:49.780 saying

00:47:50.100 no

00:47:50.380 to

00:47:50.600 generals

00:47:51.040 I'm guessing

00:47:51.820 this is just

00:47:52.500 a guess

00:47:52.940 pure

00:47:53.380 speculation

00:47:53.920 I feel

00:47:54.940 as if

00:47:55.260 Trump

00:47:55.520 has been

00:47:55.840 saying

00:47:56.100 no

00:47:56.360 to

00:47:56.560 generals

00:47:56.940 for quite

00:47:57.420 a while

00:47:57.840 as in

00:47:58.900 maybe

00:47:59.180 you don't

00:47:59.480 need

00:47:59.660 that many

00:48:00.000 people

00:48:00.280 in

00:48:00.440 Afghanistan

00:48:00.940 because

00:48:01.360 there's

00:48:01.560 nothing

00:48:01.800 there

00:48:02.020 that

00:48:02.260 we

00:48:02.580 need

00:48:02.720 to

00:48:02.840 protect

00:48:03.200 it's

00:48:04.160 going

00:48:04.280 to

00:48:04.360 go

00:48:04.500 wherever

00:48:04.740 it's

00:48:04.980 going

00:48:05.100 to

00:48:05.160 go

00:48:05.300 no

00:48:05.460 matter

00:48:05.660 what

00:48:05.860 we

00:48:05.980 do

00:48:06.140 maybe

00:48:07.840 it

00:48:08.020 went

00:48:08.180 something

00:48:08.460 like

00:48:08.760 that

00:48:09.080 but

00:48:09.900 as soon

00:48:10.220 as you

00:48:10.480 see

00:48:10.700 Biden

00:48:11.040 immediately

00:48:15.160 what

00:48:16.860 happens

00:48:17.240 to the

00:48:17.560 people

00:48:17.840 who

00:48:18.180 voted

00:48:18.600 for

00:48:18.820 him

00:48:19.000 do

00:48:19.700 they

00:48:19.860 say

00:48:20.180 yeah

00:48:20.820 that's

00:48:21.100 what

00:48:21.220 we

00:48:21.360 wanted

00:48:21.700 what

00:48:22.580 we

00:48:22.780 wanted

00:48:23.040 was

00:48:23.280 cranking

00:48:23.900 up

00:48:24.040 the

00:48:24.180 war

00:48:24.400 machine

00:48:24.780 is

00:48:25.620 that

00:48:25.720 what

00:48:25.860 the

00:48:26.000 left

00:48:26.200 wanted

00:48:26.540 I

00:48:27.600 don't

00:48:27.720 think

00:48:27.920 so

00:48:28.160 I

00:48:28.640 think

00:48:28.800 they're

00:48:28.960 just

00:48:29.140 finding

00:48:29.420 out

00:48:29.780 what

00:48:30.580 they

00:48:30.740 voted

00:48:31.020 for

00:48:31.300 and

00:48:32.660 war

00:48:33.060 is

00:48:33.340 definitely

00:48:33.720 one

00:48:34.800 of the

00:48:35.020 things

00:48:35.280 that

00:48:35.500 I

00:48:35.680 would

00:48:35.800 expect

00:48:36.180 to

00:48:36.320 innovate

00:48:36.480 regular

00:48:37.060 politician

00:48:37.720 but

00:48:38.720 less

00:48:39.040 so

00:48:39.280 and

00:48:39.520 of

00:48:39.600 a

00:48:39.760 Trump

00:48:40.020 who

00:48:40.500 is

00:48:40.660 not

00:48:40.960 a

00:48:41.080 regular

00:48:45.160 about

00:48:45.480 this

00:48:45.720 phenomenon

00:48:46.260 about

00:48:46.780 the

00:48:47.060 Democrats

00:48:48.920 learning

00:48:49.440 about

00:48:49.680 what

00:48:49.860 they

00:48:49.980 just

00:48:50.180 bought

00:48:50.520 and

00:48:51.720 he

00:48:52.000 worded

00:48:52.400 it

00:48:52.600 in

00:48:52.840 a

00:48:52.960 funny

00:48:53.180 way

00:48:53.380 so

00:48:53.520 I'm

00:48:53.640 just

00:48:53.740 going

00:48:53.880 to

00:48:53.920 read

00:48:54.100 his

00:48:54.260 tweet

00:48:54.540 so

00:48:55.420 Mike

00:48:55.680 Sertovich

00:48:56.060 tweeted

00:48:56.440 it's

00:48:56.980 been

00:48:57.120 less

00:48:57.340 than

00:48:57.500 a

00:48:57.620 week

00:48:57.840 and

00:48:58.060 Biden's

00:48:58.520 voters

00:48:58.840 are

00:48:59.080 outraged

00:48:59.760 it's

00:49:00.420 a

00:49:00.540 I

00:49:01.460 think

00:49:03.760 he

00:49:03.880 meant

00:49:04.020 testament

00:49:04.380 but

00:49:04.680 it's

00:49:04.880 a

00:49:05.000 testament

00:49:05.260 to

00:49:05.700 how

00:49:06.000 low

00:49:06.300 information

00:49:06.840 they

00:49:07.160 are

00:49:07.340 that

00:49:07.960 any

00:49:08.220 of

00:49:08.400 this

00:49:08.580 stuff

00:49:08.820 surprises

00:49:09.360 them

00:49:09.720 and

00:49:11.460 that's

00:49:13.860 exactly

00:49:14.300 the case

00:49:15.100 they

00:49:15.820 are

00:49:15.980 low

00:49:16.300 information

00:49:16.820 voters

00:49:17.260 who

00:49:17.540 just

00:49:17.760 found

00:49:18.040 out

00:49:18.240 what

00:49:18.400 they

00:49:18.540 voted

00:49:18.840 for

00:49:19.160 and

00:49:20.780 I

00:49:20.900 feel

00:49:21.120 like

00:49:21.400 Republicans

00:49:22.440 largely

00:49:23.020 knew

00:49:23.400 what

00:49:23.560 they

00:49:23.700 voted

00:49:23.940 for

00:49:24.220 they

00:49:25.060 knew

00:49:25.280 what

00:49:25.460 Trump

00:49:25.700 was

00:49:26.020 but

00:49:26.300 they

00:49:26.480 also

00:49:26.760 knew

00:49:27.040 what

00:49:27.220 Biden

00:49:27.540 was

00:49:27.940 so

00:49:28.700 they're

00:49:29.560 not so

00:49:29.900 surprised

00:49:30.400 but

00:49:31.240 more

00:49:31.560 generally

00:49:31.920 I'm

00:49:32.320 finding

00:49:32.560 that

00:49:32.760 it's

00:49:32.920 way

00:49:33.100 more

00:49:33.280 fun

00:49:33.500 to

00:49:33.640 be

00:49:33.740 a

00:49:33.900 critic

00:49:34.260 than

00:49:35.420 a

00:49:35.640 supporter

00:49:36.060 and

00:49:37.340 watching

00:49:37.940 this

00:49:38.260 develop

00:49:38.860 in slow

00:49:39.380 motion

00:49:39.780 even

00:49:40.540 though

00:49:40.720 the

00:49:40.880 events

00:49:41.300 that

00:49:41.560 are

00:49:41.660 happening

00:49:41.980 may

00:49:44.300 there

00:49:44.480 could

00:49:44.660 be

00:49:44.800 some

00:49:45.020 bad

00:49:45.400 outcomes

00:49:45.840 I

00:49:46.600 don't

00:49:46.740 want

00:49:46.880 to

00:49:46.940 make

00:49:47.060 light

00:49:47.260 of

00:49:47.360 the

00:49:47.460 outcomes

00:49:47.900 but

00:49:48.580 in

00:49:48.700 terms

00:49:48.900 of

00:49:49.000 the

00:49:49.100 process

00:49:49.720 it's

00:49:50.720 kind

00:49:51.060 of

00:49:51.240 fun

00:49:51.640 and

00:49:52.240 it's

00:49:52.440 kind

00:49:52.660 of

00:49:52.800 delightful

00:49:53.300 that I

00:49:54.280 can

00:49:54.420 just

00:49:54.620 sit

00:49:54.800 back

00:49:55.060 and

00:49:55.280 criticize

00:49:55.700 Biden

00:49:56.240 for

00:49:56.540 things

00:49:57.200 and I

00:49:58.040 don't

00:49:58.160 have

00:49:58.360 any

00:49:58.560 responsibility

00:49:59.340 for him

00:50:00.120 because I

00:50:00.520 didn't

00:50:00.800 support him

00:50:01.340 or vote

00:50:01.640 for him

00:50:01.980 so

00:50:02.920 being

00:50:03.320 able

00:50:03.520 to

00:50:03.720 criticize

00:50:04.140 without

00:50:04.680 the

00:50:05.080 burden

00:50:06.560 of

00:50:06.920 responsibility

00:50:07.680 it's

00:50:10.060 way

00:50:10.280 good

00:50:10.600 it's

00:50:11.440 way

00:50:11.640 better

00:50:11.860 than

00:50:12.020 the

00:50:12.140 old

00:50:12.300 way

00:50:12.500 and

00:50:13.200 those

00:50:13.700 who

00:50:13.860 were

00:50:14.060 criticizing

00:50:14.740 Trump

00:50:15.140 for

00:50:15.420 four

00:50:16.100 or

00:50:16.220 five

00:50:16.420 years

00:50:16.740 now

00:50:18.240 I

00:50:18.380 get

00:50:18.560 why

00:50:18.720 it

00:50:18.820 was

00:50:18.940 so

00:50:19.100 much

00:50:19.260 fun

00:50:19.540 like

00:50:20.420 I

00:50:20.560 understand

00:50:21.160 how

00:50:21.560 much

00:50:21.760 they

00:50:21.880 enjoyed

00:50:22.220 it

00:50:22.400 because

00:50:22.640 I'm

00:50:23.220 starting

00:50:23.460 to

00:50:23.620 enjoy

00:50:23.880 it

00:50:24.000 myself

00:50:24.360 with

00:50:24.560 Biden

00:50:24.860 all

00:50:27.340 right

00:50:27.540 here's

00:50:29.280 just

00:50:29.500 a

00:50:29.800 thought

00:50:30.520 just

00:50:31.800 going

00:50:32.000 to

00:50:32.100 complete

00:50:32.460 a

00:50:32.640 thought

00:50:32.960 here

00:50:33.240 when

00:50:35.760 we

00:50:35.940 think

00:50:36.160 about

00:50:36.380 climate

00:50:36.660 change

00:50:37.060 we

00:50:37.320 tend

00:50:37.540 to

00:50:37.680 think

00:50:37.940 in

00:50:38.260 binary

00:50:38.840 ways

00:50:39.440 the

00:50:40.260 binary

00:50:40.600 ways

00:50:41.060 are

00:50:41.240 we

00:50:41.420 either

00:50:41.620 go

00:50:41.860 hard

00:50:42.140 and

00:50:42.440 do

00:50:42.580 a

00:50:42.760 green

00:50:43.040 new

00:50:43.260 deal

00:50:43.600 sized

00:50:44.140 thing

00:50:44.500 that's

00:50:44.780 gigantic

00:50:45.260 and

00:50:45.580 changes

00:50:45.920 civilization

00:50:46.560 and

00:50:47.040 you know

00:50:47.980 it's

00:50:48.160 a real

00:50:48.580 drastic

00:50:49.000 thing

00:50:49.340 or

00:50:50.300 you

00:50:50.500 don't

00:50:50.700 do

00:50:50.860 enough

00:50:51.260 which

00:50:51.820 looks

00:50:52.120 closer

00:50:52.540 to

00:50:52.760 doing

00:50:53.000 nothing

00:50:53.320 so

00:50:54.160 we

00:50:54.360 kind

00:50:54.700 of

00:50:54.780 have

00:50:54.900 this

00:50:55.140 do

00:50:56.220 nothing

00:50:56.700 and

00:50:56.960 die

00:50:57.240 in

00:50:57.420 the

00:50:57.540 long

00:50:57.760 run

00:50:57.980 according

00:50:58.320 to

00:50:58.540 the

00:50:58.760 climate

00:50:59.200 change

00:50:59.620 scientists

00:51:00.520 or

00:51:01.260 we

00:51:01.540 do

00:51:01.680 something

00:51:01.920 really

00:51:02.180 aggressive

00:51:02.520 and

00:51:02.840 we

00:51:02.980 kill

00:51:03.200 our

00:51:03.360 economy

00:51:03.780 and

00:51:04.180 there

00:51:04.680 are

00:51:04.740 other

00:51:04.960 problems

00:51:05.820 but

00:51:07.400 probably

00:51:08.020 there's

00:51:08.980 some

00:51:09.160 kind

00:51:09.360 of

00:51:12.140 is

00:51:12.460 something

00:51:12.780 that's

00:51:13.100 a

00:51:13.340 stalling

00:51:14.080 tactic

00:51:14.480 something

00:51:15.440 that just

00:51:15.840 puts

00:51:16.280 off

00:51:16.680 any

00:51:17.460 potential

00:51:17.980 problems

00:51:18.540 now

00:51:18.800 I

00:51:19.160 understand

00:51:19.560 that

00:51:19.880 many

00:51:20.100 of

00:51:20.260 you

00:51:20.380 watching

00:51:20.720 still

00:51:21.200 believe

00:51:21.540 that

00:51:21.780 climate

00:51:22.060 change

00:51:22.380 is

00:51:22.540 not

00:51:22.720 real

00:51:23.000 I'm

00:51:23.960 hoping

00:51:24.220 that

00:51:24.420 you

00:51:24.540 will

00:51:24.700 evolve

00:51:25.080 out of

00:51:25.380 that

00:51:25.540 belief

00:51:25.960 at

00:51:26.960 some

00:51:27.180 point

00:51:27.560 for

00:51:28.800 the

00:51:28.960 good

00:51:29.120 of

00:51:29.240 the

00:51:29.340 world

00:51:29.620 now

00:51:30.400 we

00:51:31.280 could

00:51:31.440 be

00:51:31.580 surprised

00:51:31.940 and

00:51:32.220 anything

00:51:33.020 is

00:51:33.220 possible

00:51:33.580 but

00:51:34.500 my

00:51:35.560 take

00:51:35.840 on it

00:51:36.120 is

00:51:36.260 that

00:51:36.460 climate

00:51:36.740 change

00:51:37.080 is

00:51:37.200 something

00:51:37.420 you

00:51:37.660 have

00:51:37.820 to

00:51:37.920 address

00:51:38.260 now

00:51:40.160 here's

00:51:42.160 a

00:51:43.040 stalling

00:51:43.740 tactic

00:51:44.240 should

00:51:45.640 we

00:51:45.860 need

00:51:46.100 to

00:51:46.300 stall

00:51:46.600 and

00:51:47.760 this

00:51:48.320 is

00:51:48.460 a

00:51:48.640 tactic

00:51:48.980 which

00:51:49.440 might

00:51:50.920 be

00:51:51.080 good

00:51:51.240 to

00:51:51.400 do

00:51:51.560 whether

00:51:51.800 there's

00:51:52.200 a

00:51:52.340 climate

00:51:52.600 change

00:51:52.920 risk

00:51:53.180 or

00:51:53.320 not

00:51:53.620 so

00:51:54.480 ideally

00:51:54.960 you

00:51:55.300 would

00:51:55.440 find

00:51:55.700 strategies

00:51:56.420 but

00:51:57.180 it

00:51:57.360 wouldn't

00:51:57.580 matter

00:51:57.800 if

00:51:57.980 climate

00:51:58.260 change

00:51:58.620 is

00:51:58.860 catastrophic

00:51:59.540 or

00:51:59.900 less

00:52:00.180 than

00:52:00.340 catastrophic

00:52:00.840 it's

00:52:01.540 just

00:52:01.700 something

00:52:01.880 you'd

00:52:02.060 want

00:52:02.220 to

00:52:02.320 do

00:52:02.440 anyway

00:52:02.740 such

00:52:03.160 as

00:52:03.420 clean

00:52:03.960 energy

00:52:04.340 you'll

00:52:04.660 want

00:52:04.860 to

00:52:05.000 do

00:52:05.140 that

00:52:05.340 anyway

00:52:05.740 so

00:52:06.820 you

00:52:07.180 don't

00:52:07.340 need

00:52:07.540 a

00:52:07.700 crisis

00:52:08.000 to

00:52:08.260 do

00:52:08.380 it

00:52:08.900 but

00:52:09.660 here's

00:52:09.900 an

00:52:10.000 idea

00:52:10.240 suppose

00:52:10.900 you

00:52:11.300 get

00:52:12.500 your

00:52:12.740 generation

00:52:13.280 4

00:52:13.860 nuclear

00:52:14.920 power

00:52:15.300 plant

00:52:15.760 and

00:52:16.520 you

00:52:16.620 put

00:52:16.800 it

00:52:16.920 in

00:52:17.020 the

00:52:17.140 middle

00:52:17.320 of

00:52:17.520 the

00:52:17.680 desert

00:52:18.060 in

00:52:18.520 northern

00:52:18.820 Africa

00:52:19.260 and

00:52:20.820 because

00:52:21.640 it's

00:52:21.880 in

00:52:21.980 the

00:52:22.080 middle

00:52:22.220 of

00:52:22.320 a

00:52:22.420 desert

00:52:22.660 you

00:52:23.620 don't

00:52:23.820 worry

00:52:24.080 if

00:52:24.260 it

00:52:24.360 doesn't

00:52:24.620 work

00:52:24.940 it's

00:52:25.280 a

00:52:25.300 little

00:52:25.460 safer

00:52:25.740 there

00:52:26.020 if

00:52:26.600 you

00:52:26.700 had

00:52:26.840 a

00:52:26.980 new

00:52:27.140 design

00:52:27.520 for

00:52:27.700 a

00:52:27.820 nuclear

00:52:28.100 reactor

00:52:28.580 and

00:52:28.840 something

00:52:29.120 went

00:52:29.340 wrong

00:52:29.720 well

00:52:30.340 at least

00:52:30.600 it's

00:52:30.780 in

00:52:30.880 the

00:52:30.980 middle

00:52:31.100 of

00:52:31.240 a

00:52:31.300 desert

00:52:31.480 but

00:52:32.440 let's

00:52:33.320 say

00:52:33.480 it

00:52:34.240 works

00:52:34.580 and

00:52:35.200 you're

00:52:35.340 getting

00:52:35.560 lots

00:52:36.100 of

00:52:36.220 power

00:52:36.500 you

00:52:37.160 use

00:52:37.380 that

00:52:37.560 power

00:52:37.900 to

00:52:38.680 run

00:52:39.020 desalination

00:52:39.760 plants

00:52:42.520 next to

00:52:43.300 the

00:52:43.500 ocean

00:52:43.780 and

00:52:44.620 you

00:52:44.800 pump

00:52:45.260 it

00:52:45.380 in

00:52:45.420 the

00:52:45.520 water

00:52:45.760 and

00:52:46.060 you

00:52:46.260 start

00:52:46.680 growing

00:52:47.180 stuff

00:52:47.580 so

00:52:48.420 you

00:52:48.640 need

00:52:49.040 more

00:52:49.260 than

00:52:49.380 water

00:52:49.760 to

00:52:49.960 grow

00:52:50.180 things

00:52:50.500 you

00:52:50.680 need

00:52:50.900 reforestation

00:52:52.120 plants

00:52:53.680 etc

00:52:54.000 but

00:52:54.840 it

00:52:54.940 can

00:52:55.060 be

00:52:55.200 done

00:52:55.400 and

00:52:56.720 let's

00:52:56.940 say

00:52:57.080 you

00:52:57.240 take

00:52:57.460 your

00:52:58.360 goal

00:52:58.780 to

00:52:59.060 reforest

00:52:59.860 the

00:53:00.940 desert

00:53:01.500 areas

00:53:01.980 in

00:53:02.340 Africa

00:53:02.760 now

00:53:03.560 if

00:53:04.320 you

00:53:04.440 grew

00:53:04.760 a lot

00:53:05.040 of

00:53:05.140 stuff

00:53:05.440 where

00:53:05.680 there

00:53:05.820 used

00:53:06.020 to

00:53:06.140 be

00:53:06.280 desert

00:53:06.640 would

00:53:08.040 you

00:53:08.180 not

00:53:08.540 have

00:53:09.620 more

00:53:10.400 carbon

00:53:11.340 capture

00:53:11.760 because

00:53:12.280 plants

00:53:12.920 capture

00:53:13.400 carbon

00:53:13.720 so

00:53:14.700 that

00:53:14.920 part

00:53:15.100 is

00:53:15.160 good

00:53:15.360 right

00:53:15.620 so

00:53:16.080 you

00:53:16.140 have

00:53:16.300 more

00:53:16.480 plants

00:53:16.840 but

00:53:17.440 there's

00:53:17.900 also

00:53:18.200 another

00:53:18.500 benefit

00:53:18.880 which

00:53:19.740 is

00:53:20.100 and

00:53:20.520 I'll

00:53:20.860 need

00:53:21.000 a

00:53:21.120 fact

00:53:21.340 check

00:53:21.580 on

00:53:21.740 this

00:53:21.920 it's

00:53:22.080 something

00:53:22.320 I've

00:53:22.620 read

00:53:22.920 and

00:53:23.220 I

00:53:23.340 believe

00:53:23.600 it's

00:53:23.800 true

00:53:24.020 but

00:53:25.260 if

00:53:25.500 I'm

00:53:26.080 off

00:53:26.620 base

00:53:26.900 I'm

00:53:27.120 sure

00:53:27.240 somebody

00:53:27.520 will

00:53:27.620 tell

00:53:27.760 me

00:53:27.940 my

00:53:29.000 understanding

00:53:29.460 is that

00:53:29.900 Atlantic

00:53:30.380 hurricanes

00:53:31.080 form

00:53:31.740 because

00:53:32.540 of the

00:53:32.860 temperature

00:53:33.260 differential

00:53:34.500 between

00:53:35.060 northern

00:53:35.520 Africa

00:53:36.040 during

00:53:36.980 a certain

00:53:37.460 part

00:53:37.700 of the

00:53:37.880 year

00:53:38.060 and

00:53:38.900 the

00:53:39.120 ocean

00:53:39.380 and

00:53:40.540 that

00:53:40.740 temperature

00:53:41.140 difference

00:53:41.660 is what

00:53:42.140 gets the

00:53:42.500 wind going

00:53:42.980 which gets

00:53:43.520 the hurricane

00:53:44.100 started

00:53:44.520 so

00:53:45.460 if you

00:53:45.920 were to

00:53:46.180 lower

00:53:46.480 the

00:53:46.700 temperature

00:53:47.100 in

00:53:47.900 northern

00:53:48.180 Africa

00:53:48.620 by

00:53:49.260 vegetation

00:53:50.280 would

00:53:52.100 it reduce

00:53:52.700 the power

00:53:53.680 of the

00:53:54.180 hurricanes

00:53:54.680 even if

00:53:56.080 it didn't

00:53:56.880 do much

00:53:57.540 else

00:53:57.940 about

00:53:58.520 climate

00:53:58.920 change

00:53:59.360 that would

00:54:01.840 be a

00:54:02.120 stalling

00:54:02.540 tactic

00:54:02.900 because

00:54:03.800 the

00:54:03.960 hurricanes

00:54:04.320 are

00:54:04.560 one

00:54:05.340 predicted

00:54:06.620 problem

00:54:07.300 that

00:54:07.620 maybe in

00:54:08.620 50 years

00:54:09.260 they would

00:54:09.580 be much

00:54:10.060 worse

00:54:10.300 than they

00:54:10.540 are now

00:54:10.880 but

00:54:12.040 if you

00:54:12.720 started

00:54:13.020 now

00:54:13.460 and tried

00:54:14.400 to

00:54:14.680 increase

00:54:15.520 your

00:54:15.720 vegetation

00:54:16.200 and cool

00:54:16.980 down

00:54:17.300 the

00:54:17.600 northern

00:54:18.480 Africa

00:54:18.880 could you

00:54:20.060 make a

00:54:20.360 dent in

00:54:20.680 it

00:54:20.900 could you

00:54:22.440 do enough

00:54:23.420 in time

00:54:24.220 to make

00:54:25.240 a difference

00:54:25.680 so I

00:54:28.260 just put

00:54:28.600 that out

00:54:28.960 there as

00:54:29.280 a question

00:54:29.660 now somebody

00:54:30.240 asked me

00:54:30.620 when I

00:54:30.920 mentioned

00:54:31.600 this the

00:54:31.980 other day

00:54:32.300 what about

00:54:33.160 all the

00:54:33.660 salt

00:54:34.400 brine

00:54:35.120 that's

00:54:35.540 created

00:54:35.880 by

00:54:36.160 desalination

00:54:36.940 and that's

00:54:37.800 the problem

00:54:38.160 because you

00:54:38.580 don't want

00:54:38.820 a bunch

00:54:39.340 of

00:54:39.600 basically

00:54:41.220 condensed

00:54:41.900 salt

00:54:42.500 you don't

00:54:42.960 want to

00:54:43.160 throw that

00:54:43.540 in the

00:54:43.720 ocean

00:54:43.940 even though

00:54:45.320 the ocean

00:54:45.680 is salt

00:54:46.840 water

00:54:47.080 you don't

00:54:48.620 want too

00:54:48.960 much of it

00:54:49.320 in one

00:54:49.480 place

00:54:49.820 so the

00:54:50.540 way they

00:54:50.780 get rid

00:54:51.080 of it

00:54:51.280 now

00:54:51.540 is they've

00:54:51.880 got an

00:54:52.180 expensive

00:54:52.600 process

00:54:53.120 where they

00:54:53.620 spread it

00:54:54.280 out

00:54:54.600 and it

00:54:55.120 goes back

00:54:55.520 into the

00:54:55.800 ocean

00:54:56.040 but they

00:54:57.220 spread it

00:54:57.660 out so it

00:54:58.180 doesn't matter

00:54:58.760 apparently there's a new

00:55:00.940 process where you can

00:55:01.960 fairly easily

00:55:03.220 change the

00:55:06.320 salt brine

00:55:07.320 into something

00:55:08.080 commercially useful

00:55:09.360 and oddly enough

00:55:11.160 some of those

00:55:11.860 commercial uses

00:55:12.620 are making

00:55:13.300 desalination plants

00:55:15.000 more efficient

00:55:15.520 so you can

00:55:17.000 actually

00:55:17.240 take the

00:55:18.660 salt

00:55:18.980 brine

00:55:19.360 turn it

00:55:20.760 into

00:55:21.300 sodium

00:55:22.420 hydroxide

00:55:23.760 and

00:55:25.060 it's a

00:55:25.800 caustic soda

00:55:26.700 blah blah

00:55:27.580 and it can

00:55:27.980 be used to

00:55:28.880 pre-treat

00:55:29.500 seawater

00:55:30.220 going into

00:55:30.800 the desalination

00:55:31.640 plant

00:55:32.080 and pre-treating

00:55:33.540 it

00:55:33.880 helps the

00:55:35.240 process

00:55:35.700 not gum

00:55:36.480 up the

00:55:36.800 works

00:55:37.120 so

00:55:38.220 apparently

00:55:39.200 they can

00:55:40.200 make money

00:55:40.620 on the

00:55:40.940 salt

00:55:41.140 brine

00:55:41.420 and

00:55:41.820 what they

00:55:42.560 don't use

00:55:43.080 themselves

00:55:43.480 they can

00:55:43.920 sell

00:55:44.200 because it

00:55:44.500 has some

00:55:44.760 commercial

00:55:45.100 value

00:55:45.540 and one of

00:55:47.700 the big

00:55:47.900 problems

00:55:48.200 with

00:55:48.440 desalination

00:55:49.080 plants

00:55:49.720 is that

00:55:50.040 they go

00:55:50.360 offline

00:55:50.780 and this

00:55:51.700 will help

00:55:52.020 them not

00:55:52.380 go offline

00:55:52.880 so

00:55:53.800 I'm just

00:55:55.060 going to

00:55:55.220 put that

00:55:55.560 out there

00:55:55.920 I have no

00:55:56.360 idea if

00:55:56.740 these are

00:55:57.080 just dumb

00:55:57.580 ideas or

00:55:58.080 not

00:55:58.280 but there

00:55:58.600 probably

00:55:58.860 are some

00:55:59.940 stalling

00:56:01.640 tactics

00:56:02.080 that would

00:56:03.380 be good

00:56:03.940 no matter

00:56:04.540 what

00:56:04.900 wouldn't

00:56:06.040 you like

00:56:06.460 to have

00:56:06.740 fewer

00:56:07.020 hurricanes

00:56:07.540 sure

00:56:08.120 wouldn't

00:56:09.040 you like

00:56:09.400 to be

00:56:09.640 able to

00:56:09.960 reforest

00:56:10.680 a desert

00:56:11.720 make it

00:56:12.460 more useful

00:56:12.940 sure

00:56:13.540 so

00:56:14.840 maybe

00:56:16.020 reasons

00:56:16.380 to do

00:56:16.700 it

00:56:16.800 anyway

00:56:17.080 yeah

00:56:22.520 salt

00:56:23.100 brine

00:56:23.520 not

00:56:23.920 salt

00:56:24.400 brine

00:56:24.980 somebody

00:56:26.940 says

00:56:27.220 give it

00:56:27.520 to

00:56:27.660 Elon

00:56:27.920 Musk

00:56:28.300 well I

00:56:28.860 think

00:56:29.020 first

00:56:29.320 you need

00:56:29.720 the

00:56:30.020 nuclear

00:56:30.980 power

00:56:31.540 because

00:56:32.400 the

00:56:32.800 desalination

00:56:33.600 plants

00:56:36.320 yeah

00:56:37.320 desalination

00:56:38.260 plants

00:56:39.060 or

00:56:39.580 desalination

00:56:40.520 which word

00:56:42.580 is right

00:56:42.960 you know

00:56:43.540 what I'm

00:56:43.780 talking

00:56:43.980 about

00:56:44.240 all right

00:56:45.160 that is

00:56:46.920 all for

00:56:48.020 now let

00:56:48.420 me show

00:56:48.620 you what

00:56:48.800 it looks

00:56:49.000 like

00:56:49.160 outside

00:56:50.980 it's

00:56:53.240 looking good

00:56:53.660 out there

00:56:54.100 I think

00:56:56.720 I'll go

00:56:57.020 out and

00:56:57.560 try to

00:56:58.020 enjoy this

00:56:58.500 day

00:56:58.760 a few

00:57:00.280 more days

00:57:00.720 here and

00:57:01.160 then

00:57:01.420 back

00:57:02.660 to life

00:57:04.060 all right

00:57:06.000 are we

00:57:08.540 still in

00:57:08.840 the golden

00:57:09.140 age

00:57:09.420 I think

00:57:10.080 we are

00:57:10.420 we just

00:57:10.760 don't

00:57:10.940 know

00:57:11.120 it

00:57:11.320 I think

00:57:12.400 we're

00:57:12.580 going to

00:57:12.800 realize

00:57:13.100 it

00:57:13.340 the

00:57:13.880 pandemic

00:57:14.360 threw

00:57:15.640 us a

00:57:16.020 loop

00:57:16.240 but

00:57:16.860 we'll

00:57:17.960 get on

00:57:18.260 top of

00:57:18.540 the

00:57:18.640 pandemic

00:57:19.020 and I

00:57:19.340 think

00:57:19.480 we're

00:57:19.640 going to

00:57:20.560 learn so

00:57:21.700 much

00:57:21.900 from the

00:57:22.220 pandemic

00:57:22.620 that it's

00:57:23.820 going to

00:57:24.240 look like a

00:57:25.000 better world

00:57:25.540 when we're

00:57:25.860 on the

00:57:26.340 other

00:57:26.500 side

00:57:26.780 let me

00:57:28.700 give you

00:57:28.940 just a

00:57:29.320 small

00:57:29.620 example

00:57:30.100 restaurants

00:57:31.280 and hotels

00:57:31.840 now

00:57:32.200 instead of

00:57:33.100 giving you

00:57:33.420 a physical

00:57:33.900 menu

00:57:34.320 that's

00:57:34.940 often

00:57:35.200 on a

00:57:35.520 date

00:57:35.740 will give

00:57:36.140 you a

00:57:36.460 barcode

00:57:37.020 so that

00:57:37.960 your menu

00:57:38.300 appears on

00:57:38.860 your phone

00:57:39.240 I love

00:57:40.400 that

00:57:40.740 and here's

00:57:42.360 a feature

00:57:42.740 at this

00:57:43.200 hotel

00:57:43.520 so I'm

00:57:44.220 at the

00:57:44.620 Four Seasons

00:57:45.960 at Bora Bora

00:57:46.860 and a

00:57:49.540 feature that

00:57:50.040 the Four Seasons

00:57:50.620 has is that

00:57:51.420 you just use

00:57:52.120 an app

00:57:52.640 to text

00:57:53.420 them for

00:57:54.440 anything you

00:57:54.940 need

00:57:55.160 so anything

00:57:55.820 from room

00:57:56.580 service to

00:57:57.440 you know

00:57:58.460 making

00:57:59.500 let's say

00:58:00.800 scheduling

00:58:01.600 appointments for

00:58:02.320 things during

00:58:03.220 your stay

00:58:04.140 you can just

00:58:05.220 send one

00:58:05.660 text

00:58:06.100 always to

00:58:06.980 the same

00:58:07.260 person

00:58:07.600 so you

00:58:08.320 don't even

00:58:08.600 have to

00:58:08.880 worry what

00:58:09.260 department

00:58:09.680 you're

00:58:09.960 sending it

00:58:10.340 to

00:58:10.520 and so

00:58:11.360 I sit

00:58:11.640 over here

00:58:12.100 and I

00:58:12.440 just say

00:58:12.860 can you

00:58:14.560 give me

00:58:14.800 some coffee

00:58:15.600 and some

00:58:16.280 bagels

00:58:16.740 or whatever

00:58:17.140 for breakfast

00:58:17.820 and the text

00:58:19.160 comes back

00:58:19.720 immediately

00:58:20.180 30 minutes

00:58:21.520 and then it

00:58:22.840 shows up

00:58:23.300 and I think

00:58:24.120 to myself

00:58:24.620 every way

00:58:26.220 that this

00:58:26.620 was done

00:58:27.020 before

00:58:27.440 needs to

00:58:28.020 be eliminated

00:58:28.580 the only

00:58:29.980 way I

00:58:30.500 want to

00:58:30.940 deal with

00:58:31.540 my hotel

00:58:32.180 is by

00:58:33.260 text

00:58:33.720 it's

00:58:34.800 great

00:58:35.380 and maybe

00:58:36.720 this is

00:58:37.200 how this

00:58:37.820 becomes

00:58:38.160 permanent

00:58:38.540 and the

00:58:39.420 only way

00:58:39.780 I want

00:58:40.060 to see

00:58:40.300 my menu

00:58:40.900 is on

00:58:42.140 my phone

00:58:42.620 that's

00:58:44.680 great

00:58:44.980 and I

00:58:46.620 wouldn't

00:58:46.880 mind having

00:58:47.460 air purifiers

00:58:48.280 in my

00:58:48.740 restaurant

00:58:49.260 anyway

00:58:50.300 right

00:58:51.460 I don't

00:58:52.220 care if

00:58:52.600 it's the

00:58:53.000 normal

00:58:53.940 seasonal

00:58:54.500 flu

00:58:54.940 or somebody

00:58:55.640 has got

00:58:56.140 rabies

00:58:57.680 I guess

00:58:58.060 that's a

00:58:58.340 bad example

00:58:58.840 or tuberculosis

00:58:59.880 or something

00:59:00.480 I wouldn't

00:59:02.100 mind having

00:59:02.620 one of

00:59:02.900 those active

00:59:03.520 purifiers

00:59:05.560 in every

00:59:06.120 restaurant

00:59:06.560 no matter

00:59:07.700 whether

00:59:07.960 there's a

00:59:08.400 pandemic

00:59:08.620 or not

00:59:09.140 so there

00:59:11.000 are a

00:59:11.280 whole bunch

00:59:11.860 of things

00:59:12.400 that are

00:59:13.640 going to

00:59:13.840 be better

00:59:14.280 because of

00:59:14.840 what we

00:59:15.220 learned

00:59:15.580 from the

00:59:15.960 pandemic

00:59:16.340 so yeah

00:59:17.780 I think

00:59:18.600 the golden

00:59:18.980 age is

00:59:19.480 still on

00:59:20.180 track

00:59:20.540 but delayed

00:59:21.360 and that's

00:59:22.880 all for

00:59:23.520 now

00:59:23.780 and I'll

00:59:24.180 talk to

00:59:24.520 you

00:59:24.720 tomorrow

00:59:25.860 if I

00:59:29.660 can turn

00:59:30.000 this off
