Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1270 Scott Adams： AOC, The Big Lie, Fake News Alert, How to Distinguish a Coup from a Selfie Opportunity

00:00:00.000 Come on in. Come on in. Happy Groundhog Day.

00:00:04.540 Probably one of the best holidays of the whole year.

00:00:08.060 Yeah, Groundhog Day. A lot of people like their Christmas.

00:00:12.040 They like their 4th of July, but I'm kind of a Groundhog Day

00:00:16.280 kind of a guy all the way.

00:00:19.280 And you know it's Groundhog Day because, once again,

00:00:25.280 they're trying to impeach President Trump, as they do

00:00:27.940 every year at this time. It's Groundhog Day.

00:00:32.340 I stole that joke from Joel Pollack on Twitter.

00:00:35.840 He gave...

00:00:37.760 I've been laughing all morning about how our government

00:00:42.800 has somehow become like Groundhog Day.

00:00:49.020 And I'm thinking, if you were to describe a government

00:00:52.380 that was not doing its job, and you were trying to pick

00:00:56.340 the right movie, well, you might go with the idiocracy.

00:01:01.000 But Groundhog Day would be a good one. 0.83

00:01:03.220 And if you'd like to enjoy this Groundhog Day

00:01:05.480 to its maximum potential, and I know you do,

00:01:09.200 what do you need besides a Groundhog?

00:01:12.160 I mean, you're going to need at least one Groundhog.

00:01:14.760 But you also need a copper mugger glass,

00:01:17.040 a tanker chalice, a stein, a canteen jug of flowers,

00:01:19.320 a vessel of any kind.

00:01:20.760 Fill it with your favorite liquid, not with a groundhog.

00:01:25.480 No, they don't belong in a copper mugger glass.

00:01:28.260 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:30.000 I like coffee.

00:01:31.660 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:01:33.700 of the dopamine of the day.

00:01:34.860 The thing makes everything better.

00:01:37.360 It's called the simultaneous hip.

00:01:38.820 Go.

00:01:39.040 I think we got the simultaneity right.

00:01:48.140 Sometimes I'll be off half a beat, but no.

00:01:50.240 This time I nailed it.

00:01:51.620 Nailed it.

00:01:53.300 All right.

00:01:54.380 What else is going on?

00:01:56.220 According to Rasmussen poll,

00:01:58.800 two-thirds of voters, roughly,

00:02:01.160 say that insiders manipulate the stock market.

00:02:06.720 What?

00:02:07.240 Two-thirds of citizens,

00:02:10.100 I guess it doesn't matter if you lean left or lean right.

00:02:14.240 The number's about the same.

00:02:16.040 Two-thirds of the citizens think the stock market is rigged.

00:02:21.400 Or at least that it's being manipulated by insiders.

00:02:24.820 And here's the funny part.

00:02:27.300 Who are the one-third? 0.78

00:02:29.540 Who are the one-third of this public

00:02:31.820 who don't think insiders are manipulating the stock market? 0.55

00:02:35.260 Who are these people

00:02:37.540 who believe the stock market is fair?

00:02:44.060 Andy Ngo.

00:02:45.260 You know Andy Ngo, spelled G-N-O.

00:02:48.660 You've seen lots of his videos of Antifa.

00:02:51.120 And he's got a new book coming out

00:02:53.720 that Antifa and his haters would like to cancel.

00:02:58.220 So here's Andy Ngo reporting on very important stuff

00:03:02.380 of great national interest,

00:03:04.260 the Antifa situation.

00:03:06.860 I think he was driven out of the country,

00:03:09.680 threatened.

00:03:11.160 And now he's got a book.

00:03:13.860 His book is called Unmasked.

00:03:18.480 You can find it.

00:03:19.320 Just Google Unmasked

00:03:21.260 and Andy Ngo, N-G-O. 0.90

00:03:23.860 And this is me buying his book.

00:03:26.640 Boop.

00:03:27.640 Placing my order

00:03:28.700 on Amazon.

00:03:31.700 Done.

00:03:34.100 Whenever there's a book

00:03:35.640 that somebody's trying to ban

00:03:37.400 or a person or a product,

00:03:40.460 I'm just going to automatically buy it.

00:03:43.500 So that's going to be my new habit.

00:03:45.640 I'm not going to look at the description of the product.

00:03:48.900 If it's something, you know,

00:03:50.560 in the consumer level of expense,

00:03:53.480 I'm just going to buy it.

00:03:55.400 It's just going to be automatic.

00:03:56.420 And I think Andy's book

00:03:58.800 was already number 54

00:04:00.340 on Amazon's bestseller list.

00:04:04.180 Do you know how hard it is

00:04:05.840 to be number 54

00:04:07.080 on Amazon's bestseller list?

00:04:10.560 It's pretty hard.

00:04:11.940 It's pretty hard.

00:04:13.660 But let's see if we can get him to number one.

00:04:16.240 He's number one

00:04:16.980 in all of the important political categories.

00:04:20.400 But let's see if we can get him number one

00:04:22.040 on all of Amazon.

00:04:23.180 And maybe in the future,

00:04:27.480 there will be people who say to themselves,

00:04:29.820 hey, maybe we should boycott

00:04:31.800 this product or this book.

00:04:34.000 And the moment they say it,

00:04:35.480 that should make the person

00:04:36.420 who made that book or product rich.

00:04:39.380 You should get rich

00:04:40.740 as a result of people trying to cancel you.

00:04:45.180 I can't make it happen myself,

00:04:47.100 but I can buy their products.

00:04:48.540 And if you do as well,

00:04:50.320 let's see if we can push Andy

00:04:51.560 up to number one

00:04:52.380 on principle alone.

00:04:56.200 Freedom!

00:04:57.340 Yeah, Goya beans.

00:04:58.860 I also bought the Goya

00:05:00.700 Mexican food products

00:05:03.220 that I don't think I ever ate.

00:05:05.540 I think I put it in the cupboard.

00:05:07.920 But the moment I heard

00:05:09.000 that he was going to get canceled,

00:05:10.340 the CEO of Goya Foods,

00:05:12.140 I said,

00:05:12.920 well, I'm going to get me some of that.

00:05:14.700 I went directly to the store

00:05:16.040 and bought a bunch of his products.

00:05:18.780 So that's my new habit.

00:05:20.740 If you like freedom,

00:05:22.680 maybe it could be your habit too.

00:05:26.960 AOC is making news,

00:05:28.360 as she is so good at doing.

00:05:29.980 She did a live stream,

00:05:31.140 I think it was on Instagram.

00:05:33.580 And she talked about her experience

00:05:38.040 during the Capitol assault

00:05:40.100 and that she was afraid for her life.

00:05:43.040 And she said,

00:05:45.660 I guess the first time in public,

00:05:47.380 she said that she was a survivor

00:05:48.820 of sexual abuse.

00:05:51.700 Now, I say this often,

00:05:55.340 much to your chagrin.

00:05:57.520 The same standard that I used for Trump,

00:06:00.400 I apply to AOC.

00:06:02.240 That's fair, right?

00:06:03.320 Same standard.

00:06:04.460 And the standard is,

00:06:05.480 you might like or not like

00:06:07.180 his or her policies,

00:06:09.000 but if we could just look

00:06:10.940 at their technique,

00:06:12.440 their persuasion technique,

00:06:14.120 how they communicate,

00:06:15.980 oh my God, they're good.

00:06:18.180 Right?

00:06:18.500 And AOC is, you know,

00:06:20.200 she wouldn't want to hear this,

00:06:21.440 but she is sort of the female Trump.

00:06:24.940 Probably the last thing

00:06:25.980 she'd want to hear.

00:06:26.640 But in terms of technique,

00:06:28.680 it's just A plus.

00:06:30.180 Just consistently A plus.

00:06:32.120 Just for technique.

00:06:33.220 You don't have to like her policies, right?

00:06:35.380 Separate decision.

00:06:36.160 But this, doing a live stream,

00:06:40.000 which is exactly the right way to do it,

00:06:43.000 combining her story of, you know,

00:06:46.100 her personal trauma

00:06:47.140 with surviving sexual abuse,

00:06:50.660 you could argue that doesn't belong

00:06:52.820 in the story about the capital assault,

00:06:55.880 but she made it belong.

00:06:57.640 She made it fit.

00:06:59.740 And technique-wise,

00:07:02.040 it's just really good.

00:07:03.600 Like, you could put yourself in the scene,

00:07:07.340 you could feel it,

00:07:08.760 you probably connected it

00:07:10.100 to something you've experienced before.

00:07:11.860 If you're a woman, 0.97

00:07:12.740 chances are you've had some,

00:07:14.300 you know, ugly sexual situation

00:07:17.320 in your past.

00:07:18.260 Most do, unfortunately.

00:07:20.400 So technique-wise,

00:07:21.740 it was frickin' good.

00:07:24.100 Right?

00:07:25.180 Gotta say that.

00:07:26.360 It was good.

00:07:27.360 Technique-wise.

00:07:28.640 But,

00:07:29.960 that's not the only thing to consider.

00:07:31.560 She is perpetuating

00:07:34.940 what I call the big lie.

00:07:36.480 Now, the big lie

00:07:37.280 is that the election

00:07:39.020 was known to be transparent

00:07:41.600 and free of fraud.

00:07:44.320 That's not true.

00:07:46.820 What we do know

00:07:47.760 is that no widespread fraud

00:07:49.900 was recognized by any court.

00:07:53.600 That's also true.

00:07:55.700 Right?

00:07:56.040 That's true.

00:07:56.880 There's no court

00:07:58.000 that recognized any widespread fraud

00:08:00.600 in the election.

00:08:01.700 So we can say that unambiguously

00:08:03.700 because no matter what

00:08:05.280 did or did not happen

00:08:06.900 in the election,

00:08:07.620 it's just a fact

00:08:08.480 that no court

00:08:09.960 ruled or acknowledged

00:08:13.400 any widespread fraud.

00:08:16.100 Now, it's worth saying

00:08:17.440 that the court

00:08:18.060 is not the right tool for that.

00:08:20.320 It is also true 0.99

00:08:21.420 that there is no toaster

00:08:23.340 that solved world peace.

00:08:26.060 Do you know why?

00:08:28.020 Well, toasters don't do that.

00:08:30.020 That's not one of the things

00:08:30.880 a toaster does.

00:08:31.780 A toaster is pretty good

00:08:32.640 at making toast,

00:08:34.000 except for mine.

00:08:34.920 Mine will only make toast

00:08:35.840 on one side,

00:08:36.540 but that's just my problem.

00:08:40.920 So,

00:08:41.580 it doesn't mean anything

00:08:42.740 that the courts

00:08:43.500 have not found

00:08:44.660 any widespread fraud,

00:08:45.900 but it's still a fact.

00:08:47.160 It's not a meaningful fact

00:08:48.760 because it's the wrong place

00:08:50.960 to look for fraud.

00:08:52.600 But,

00:08:53.380 that's all we have,

00:08:54.360 so they used that.

00:08:55.840 So,

00:08:56.280 the big lie

00:08:56.920 is that the election

00:08:58.200 was definitely,

00:08:59.780 definitely,

00:09:00.400 and we know it,

00:09:01.260 and we've confirmed it,

00:09:02.960 fair and free.

00:09:06.120 And,

00:09:06.720 the second part

00:09:07.600 of that big lie

00:09:08.920 is that there was

00:09:10.020 something called a coup

00:09:11.020 or an insurrection

00:09:12.980 that happened

00:09:13.900 at the Capitol,

00:09:15.480 which,

00:09:16.280 as far as I can tell,

00:09:18.000 did not happen.

00:09:19.600 I'm watching the same news

00:09:20.840 that everybody else

00:09:21.500 is watching,

00:09:22.760 and I didn't see it.

00:09:25.320 But,

00:09:26.180 she reports it

00:09:27.280 as if it's true.

00:09:28.860 Now,

00:09:29.160 here's what I find

00:09:30.060 is most interesting.

00:09:32.620 What would have happened,

00:09:34.460 and nobody,

00:09:35.400 there's nobody

00:09:36.040 who wants this to happen,

00:09:37.200 but what would have happened

00:09:38.720 if the,

00:09:40.380 the rioters,

00:09:42.140 the people

00:09:43.000 that are being called

00:09:43.880 the insurrectionists,

00:09:45.340 what if they had found

00:09:46.680 AOC

00:09:47.200 that night?

00:09:49.660 What if AOC

00:09:51.140 had actually been,

00:09:52.800 let's say,

00:09:53.340 surrounded by

00:09:54.240 the insurrectionists?

00:09:56.500 Well,

00:09:57.140 her opinion,

00:09:58.720 and I don't have

00:10:00.560 any,

00:10:00.940 you know,

00:10:01.520 proof that she's wrong,

00:10:03.180 is that she would have

00:10:03.960 been in great danger,

00:10:05.780 physical danger.

00:10:07.500 And,

00:10:08.020 I can't rule that out.

00:10:09.600 I mean,

00:10:09.920 if you have a big,

00:10:11.040 unwieldy crowd,

00:10:12.580 and,

00:10:13.400 you know,

00:10:14.380 some of them have clubs,

00:10:15.820 and whatnot,

00:10:17.340 you can't rule out

00:10:18.840 that she would have been

00:10:19.920 in big trouble.

00:10:20.980 So,

00:10:21.420 it makes sense

00:10:22.900 that she would have

00:10:23.580 seen it that way

00:10:24.440 and treated it that way,

00:10:26.160 and I wouldn't want her

00:10:27.020 to have treated it

00:10:28.180 any other way.

00:10:30.300 But,

00:10:31.180 I think there's

00:10:32.780 a blind spot here.

00:10:35.100 And again,

00:10:36.300 safety first,

00:10:37.560 so she should definitely

00:10:38.640 have,

00:10:39.980 you know,

00:10:40.360 tried to get to safety,

00:10:41.600 period.

00:10:42.620 But I don't think

00:10:44.040 AOC understands

00:10:45.540 her own power.

00:10:47.880 I don't think

00:10:48.740 she understands

00:10:49.400 her power.

00:10:50.920 And,

00:10:51.560 maybe that's good,

00:10:52.580 because if she ever

00:10:53.320 understood it,

00:10:54.140 she'd probably use it more. 0.67

00:10:55.880 But,

00:10:56.560 here's what I think.

00:10:58.800 I think if AOC

00:11:00.060 had simply walked

00:11:01.940 into the middle

00:11:02.640 of the crowd,

00:11:03.960 she would have been 0.78

00:11:04.620 perfectly safe.

00:11:06.660 That's what I think.

00:11:08.540 Now,

00:11:08.880 and I think

00:11:09.740 that the crowd

00:11:10.520 would have respected her,

00:11:12.080 and they would have stopped.

00:11:13.220 They wouldn't have stopped

00:11:14.000 everything they're doing,

00:11:15.240 but they would have

00:11:15.940 stopped and listened.

00:11:17.580 And I think

00:11:18.120 if anybody in that crowd

00:11:19.360 had tried to

00:11:19.900 mess with her, 0.85

00:11:20.760 like physically,

00:11:21.920 I think other people

00:11:23.060 in the crowd

00:11:23.540 would have taken

00:11:24.160 them out instantly.

00:11:25.900 That's what I think.

00:11:27.040 I don't think

00:11:27.920 this crowd

00:11:28.860 was going to let

00:11:30.500 a woman get hurt 1.00

00:11:31.820 right in front of them.

00:11:34.860 You know,

00:11:35.220 and certainly not

00:11:36.200 as the agent

00:11:37.700 of that trouble.

00:11:40.240 That is a complete

00:11:41.480 misreading of the crowd,

00:11:43.240 I believe.

00:11:44.060 Now,

00:11:45.220 was Mike Pence

00:11:47.020 in any danger?

00:11:49.640 He might have been,

00:11:51.060 because they were

00:11:51.720 calling for him

00:11:52.540 by name,

00:11:53.560 because he was

00:11:54.620 on their team

00:11:55.620 and wasn't doing

00:11:56.680 what they wanted.

00:11:57.760 Now,

00:11:58.080 what would the crowd

00:11:58.780 do if they saw

00:11:59.580 somebody who's known

00:12:00.620 to be on the other team

00:12:01.780 and playing

00:12:04.100 for the other team?

00:12:05.200 I think they would have

00:12:06.180 said,

00:12:06.840 oh,

00:12:07.120 you're okay.

00:12:08.000 You're doing exactly

00:12:09.040 what the other team does.

00:12:10.320 if the situation

00:12:11.940 were reversed,

00:12:12.800 we would probably be you.

00:12:14.660 They were mad

00:12:15.520 at Mike Pence

00:12:16.400 for not doing

00:12:17.900 what they imagined

00:12:18.960 he could or should do.

00:12:20.280 I don't know

00:12:20.580 if he could have done it.

00:12:22.240 But,

00:12:22.660 I don't think

00:12:24.380 this was about

00:12:25.280 Democrats.

00:12:27.100 I don't think

00:12:28.080 that anybody

00:12:28.580 who entered

00:12:29.100 that building

00:12:29.780 wanted to do

00:12:31.560 anything bad

00:12:32.660 to a Democrat.

00:12:33.000 I won't say anybody,

00:12:34.160 because it was

00:12:34.500 a big crowd.

00:12:35.400 You only need

00:12:35.860 one person

00:12:36.420 who has,

00:12:36.860 you know,

00:12:37.380 a crazy idea

00:12:38.280 for trouble to happen.

00:12:39.520 So,

00:12:40.600 like I said,

00:12:41.700 for sure

00:12:42.400 they should have

00:12:42.940 treated it

00:12:43.420 like a deadly risk.

00:12:45.300 For sure

00:12:45.860 she had a reason

00:12:46.900 to be scared.

00:12:48.500 I can definitely

00:12:49.940 see how that would

00:12:50.700 connect to any

00:12:51.360 past experiences

00:12:52.320 of trauma.

00:12:53.940 And so I think

00:12:54.440 she played it

00:12:55.080 honestly

00:12:55.600 and I think

00:12:58.460 that she's effective

00:12:59.360 as she often is.

00:13:00.860 But she definitely 0.89

00:13:02.260 underestimates

00:13:03.700 her personal power.

00:13:05.800 I think she could have

00:13:06.720 walked into the middle

00:13:07.640 of that crowd

00:13:08.520 and they would

00:13:09.520 have stopped

00:13:10.140 and they would

00:13:11.680 have listened

00:13:12.040 and they would

00:13:13.280 have protected

00:13:13.800 her.

00:13:14.740 Now,

00:13:15.240 I wouldn't

00:13:15.540 take the chance

00:13:16.300 so it would

00:13:17.580 be stupid

00:13:18.080 to try to

00:13:18.660 test this theory.

00:13:20.240 I just think

00:13:20.880 she has way 1.00

00:13:21.420 more power

00:13:21.980 than she knows

00:13:22.680 and maybe

00:13:24.780 that's good.

00:13:25.740 All right.

00:13:27.740 But she's part

00:13:28.580 of the big lie

00:13:29.240 that there was

00:13:29.960 something called

00:13:30.600 a coup

00:13:31.040 or an insurrection

00:13:31.900 and that

00:13:33.260 that's what

00:13:35.400 was actually

00:13:35.860 going on.

00:13:37.560 Meanwhile,

00:13:38.760 because the

00:13:39.380 simulation loves

00:13:40.240 us,

00:13:41.540 this big

00:13:42.020 simulation

00:13:42.640 we're in

00:13:43.160 with its

00:13:43.560 code reuse

00:13:44.480 and its

00:13:44.840 weird coincidences

00:13:45.920 and its

00:13:46.500 irony that it

00:13:47.740 serves up

00:13:48.300 so frequently.

00:13:50.060 Well,

00:13:50.520 it's serving up

00:13:51.060 some irony

00:13:51.540 over in Myanmar

00:13:53.140 that Fox News

00:13:56.380 calls Burma.

00:13:57.780 I still don't

00:13:58.600 know why.

00:13:59.040 I don't

00:14:00.240 know why

00:14:00.480 the news

00:14:00.880 calls it

00:14:01.380 two different

00:14:01.780 countries.

00:14:02.760 I'm sure

00:14:03.060 there's a

00:14:03.440 reason.

00:14:05.060 But the

00:14:05.900 CNN is

00:14:06.400 reporting that

00:14:07.240 the Biden

00:14:07.820 administration,

00:14:09.120 they can't

00:14:09.860 decide if

00:14:10.460 they want

00:14:10.740 to call

00:14:11.040 the armed

00:14:11.800 military

00:14:12.560 takeover

00:14:13.240 of the

00:14:13.720 civilian

00:14:14.160 government

00:14:14.880 in Myanmar

00:14:16.320 as a

00:14:17.460 coup or

00:14:18.220 not.

00:14:19.460 Let me

00:14:19.740 say that

00:14:20.160 again because

00:14:20.820 you'll think

00:14:21.360 you missed

00:14:22.060 something in

00:14:22.680 the sentence.

00:14:23.900 No,

00:14:24.180 you didn't

00:14:24.400 miss anything

00:14:24.920 in the

00:14:25.200 sentence.

00:14:26.240 Here it

00:14:26.600 is again.

00:14:27.640 The Biden

00:14:28.160 administration

00:14:28.840 can't decide

00:14:29.980 whether the

00:14:31.060 armed military

00:14:32.460 takeover of

00:14:33.420 the civilian

00:14:33.980 government in

00:14:35.620 Myanmar is

00:14:36.600 a coup or

00:14:38.000 not.

00:14:39.860 But one

00:14:41.720 thing they're

00:14:42.240 pretty sure

00:14:42.800 about is

00:14:44.160 that when

00:14:44.480 that guy

00:14:44.860 with the

00:14:45.220 Viking hat

00:14:45.920 and his

00:14:46.400 selfie army

00:14:47.220 went into

00:14:47.740 the capital,

00:14:48.740 well,

00:14:49.040 that's a

00:14:49.400 coup.

00:14:50.460 That's a

00:14:50.900 coup.

00:14:51.560 And the

00:14:52.040 way that you

00:14:52.440 can tell a

00:14:53.100 coup from

00:14:54.580 a whatever

00:14:56.560 thing is

00:14:57.200 happening in

00:14:57.860 Myanmar that 0.54

00:14:58.640 doesn't have

00:14:59.060 a name,

00:15:00.280 the way you

00:15:00.960 can tell is

00:15:01.540 whether there's

00:15:02.160 a Viking

00:15:02.760 hat.

00:15:04.120 If there's a

00:15:05.080 Viking hat

00:15:05.740 involved,

00:15:06.600 well,

00:15:06.800 that's a

00:15:07.200 coup.

00:15:08.740 But if it's

00:15:09.880 an armed

00:15:10.520 military entering

00:15:12.300 the capital and

00:15:13.160 taking control of

00:15:14.060 the government,

00:15:15.320 that's more of a

00:15:16.440 we don't know

00:15:17.000 what that is,

00:15:17.860 really.

00:15:18.360 Does it have

00:15:18.940 a name?

00:15:20.000 Should we give

00:15:20.640 everything a

00:15:21.280 name?

00:15:22.600 Not everything

00:15:23.280 needs a label,

00:15:23.980 does it?

00:15:24.780 Why can't we

00:15:25.340 just speak of it

00:15:26.020 as the

00:15:26.740 events that

00:15:27.260 happened?

00:15:28.700 So that's the

00:15:29.800 Biden administration.

00:15:31.780 Selfie army and

00:15:33.520 Viking hat,

00:15:34.520 totally a coup.

00:15:36.240 And let me tell

00:15:37.480 you, I'm not a

00:15:38.820 military expert,

00:15:41.320 but when you do

00:15:43.320 a coup, you also

00:15:44.740 have to hold the

00:15:45.720 government.

00:15:46.720 It's not enough

00:15:47.780 that you've

00:15:48.980 captured an

00:15:49.620 empty room.

00:15:50.380 Oh, that's a

00:15:50.840 good start.

00:15:52.120 Once you've

00:15:52.640 captured an

00:15:53.200 empty room,

00:15:54.340 well, slippery

00:15:55.000 slope, next

00:15:55.840 thing you know,

00:15:56.300 you're going to

00:15:56.640 capture all the

00:15:57.260 rooms.

00:15:58.120 You'll have every

00:15:58.980 room in the

00:15:59.480 United States.

00:16:00.100 If we let them

00:16:00.800 have that one

00:16:01.400 empty room,

00:16:03.680 they're going to

00:16:05.360 own the

00:16:05.620 government.

00:16:06.980 I mean, what

00:16:07.320 can we do?

00:16:08.260 You've got a

00:16:09.300 nuclear option,

00:16:12.140 you've got a

00:16:12.800 very large

00:16:13.300 military and

00:16:14.340 police force,

00:16:15.400 but I don't

00:16:17.220 know how they're

00:16:17.760 going to have

00:16:18.100 any hope of

00:16:20.240 dislodging

00:16:21.080 unarmed people

00:16:22.640 from an empty

00:16:23.280 room.

00:16:24.220 I mean, how

00:16:26.040 would you even

00:16:26.500 begin?

00:16:27.740 So, yes, we

00:16:30.180 know that the

00:16:30.880 Viking hat guy

00:16:31.800 was a legitimate

00:16:32.960 coup with a

00:16:34.420 really good chance

00:16:35.460 of controlling

00:16:36.280 the country that

00:16:37.920 they had conquered

00:16:38.620 with their hat

00:16:39.900 and their

00:16:40.300 selfies.

00:16:43.440 So, that's

00:16:45.020 the big lie.

00:16:46.140 Anyway, I

00:16:47.740 would like to go

00:16:48.480 from that, which

00:16:49.400 you all agreed

00:16:50.080 with, at

00:16:51.100 least my

00:16:51.440 audience, to

00:16:53.300 something that

00:16:54.020 you all hate. 0.59

00:16:56.060 It's why you

00:16:57.040 watch me.

00:16:57.860 Come on.

00:16:59.600 You know when I

00:17:00.320 do this, you

00:17:01.600 hate it when I

00:17:03.340 disagree with you,

00:17:04.880 but it's also

00:17:06.160 why you watch.

00:17:07.280 You're looking for

00:17:08.100 the part where I

00:17:08.680 disagree, because

00:17:09.420 that's the only

00:17:10.040 interesting part.

00:17:13.140 Me just agreeing

00:17:14.260 with you isn't

00:17:14.760 any fun.

00:17:15.500 You can get

00:17:16.100 that anywhere.

00:17:16.600 At the

00:17:18.800 beginning of the

00:17:19.340 pandemic, I

00:17:20.760 said loudly and

00:17:22.080 often the

00:17:23.000 following, we

00:17:24.980 should not hold

00:17:26.080 our leaders

00:17:26.760 accountable for

00:17:28.140 the mistakes they

00:17:29.240 are about to

00:17:30.040 make with all

00:17:32.280 good intention.

00:17:34.240 Do you remember

00:17:34.880 me saying that?

00:17:35.580 I said it a lot.

00:17:36.940 Like, I tried to

00:17:37.760 make a really big

00:17:38.680 point of it, that

00:17:40.160 before our leaders

00:17:41.220 even started making

00:17:42.260 decisions, we

00:17:43.540 should forgive them

00:17:44.420 in advance, because

00:17:46.440 nobody knew the

00:17:47.580 right thing to

00:17:48.180 do.

00:17:49.320 Nobody knew.

00:17:50.900 And I applied

00:17:52.000 this standard to

00:17:53.260 Trump, you know,

00:17:55.580 that nobody knew

00:17:56.800 what to do, so if

00:17:58.060 he did something

00:17:58.640 wrong, well, who

00:17:59.660 knew?

00:18:00.560 But I also apply

00:18:01.880 it to Governor

00:18:03.120 Cuomo in New York.

00:18:05.080 This is the part

00:18:05.840 you might not

00:18:06.460 like.

00:18:08.300 Governor Cuomo

00:18:08.940 is blamed, and

00:18:10.440 of course the top

00:18:11.300 guy or top

00:18:12.300 top person, needs

00:18:14.520 to take the

00:18:15.220 responsibility, because

00:18:16.460 the buck has to

00:18:17.400 stop somewhere,

00:18:18.040 right?

00:18:18.500 So the nursing

00:18:19.440 home deaths are

00:18:21.220 unambiguously Cuomo's

00:18:25.260 fault, if you want

00:18:26.480 to use that word.

00:18:27.700 It's his responsibility

00:18:28.940 to take care of his

00:18:30.620 people.

00:18:31.500 There was something

00:18:32.200 that happened that

00:18:32.940 was clearly the wrong

00:18:34.080 set of decisions.

00:18:35.640 People died.

00:18:37.140 Cuomo was in

00:18:38.000 charge.

00:18:39.100 That's on his

00:18:39.940 record, right?

00:18:40.740 So let's agree it

00:18:43.060 was a mistake.

00:18:46.120 So I'm not going to

00:18:47.060 argue that, right?

00:18:48.720 Clearly it was a

00:18:49.540 mistake.

00:18:50.420 But how exactly did

00:18:51.880 that mistake happen?

00:18:53.680 Was there a

00:18:54.320 conversation in which

00:18:55.480 somebody went to the

00:18:56.620 governor and said,

00:18:57.780 Governor, as it

00:18:59.360 stands now, we

00:19:00.300 would be putting

00:19:00.900 these people back in

00:19:01.860 rest homes.

00:19:02.640 It's the worst

00:19:03.460 thing you could

00:19:03.960 possibly do, and

00:19:05.380 it will probably kill

00:19:06.500 all the other people

00:19:07.460 in the rest home.

00:19:08.340 Should we go ahead

00:19:09.060 and do that?

00:19:09.680 And then the

00:19:10.740 governor, in this

00:19:12.100 hypothetical, said,

00:19:13.580 huh, put them

00:19:15.100 back in the rest

00:19:15.940 homes, the very

00:19:16.760 worst place to put

00:19:17.700 them.

00:19:18.420 It'll kill a bunch

00:19:19.260 of other people.

00:19:20.320 Yeah, let's do

00:19:21.000 that.

00:19:23.000 How did you

00:19:23.820 imagine this

00:19:24.480 happened?

00:19:25.800 Like, when you

00:19:26.660 play it in your

00:19:27.320 mind of how we

00:19:29.140 got to that

00:19:29.660 horrible situation

00:19:30.680 of putting infected

00:19:32.360 people back in

00:19:33.200 rest homes, or

00:19:34.300 old people 0.85

00:19:35.200 facilities, whatever

00:19:36.080 they're called,

00:19:37.640 how did it

00:19:38.420 happen?

00:19:38.680 Now, I

00:19:39.820 wasn't there, but

00:19:40.880 I'm going to

00:19:41.220 make an educated

00:19:42.220 guess based on

00:19:43.440 being the creator

00:19:44.460 of the Dilbert

00:19:45.160 comic strip, and

00:19:46.460 I know big

00:19:47.420 organizations.

00:19:48.880 It probably

00:19:49.780 happened something

00:19:50.560 like this.

00:19:52.580 There was a

00:19:53.440 process in place,

00:19:54.820 according to

00:19:55.720 Governor Cuomo,

00:19:56.620 the federal

00:19:57.160 government process

00:19:58.120 was that those

00:19:59.580 people would go

00:20:00.400 back to where

00:20:01.360 they came from,

00:20:02.140 and they would

00:20:02.780 do the best job

00:20:03.480 they could to

00:20:04.060 keep them separated

00:20:04.980 from other people.

00:20:05.800 people.

00:20:06.860 Now, did you

00:20:08.500 know in advance,

00:20:10.720 did you know

00:20:11.520 that if you did

00:20:13.200 that, the

00:20:13.980 infection would

00:20:14.680 definitely spread

00:20:15.420 to the rest of

00:20:16.000 the people?

00:20:16.560 Or did you

00:20:17.320 think to

00:20:17.680 yourself, well,

00:20:19.080 I mean, it's a

00:20:19.740 professional facility,

00:20:21.220 they're clearly not

00:20:22.260 going to put them in

00:20:22.820 the same place with

00:20:24.800 any kind of

00:20:25.400 cross-pollination

00:20:26.300 with other

00:20:27.180 people.

00:20:28.720 So if you were in

00:20:29.780 that situation,

00:20:30.700 would it have even

00:20:31.480 occurred to you,

00:20:32.820 necessarily, to even

00:20:34.680 ask the right

00:20:35.300 question?

00:20:36.680 If nobody brought

00:20:37.740 it up to you and

00:20:38.700 said, hey, this is

00:20:40.720 a special virus, I

00:20:41.760 don't think you

00:20:42.320 could keep the

00:20:43.500 infected people in

00:20:44.400 one room and hope

00:20:45.480 that it's not going

00:20:46.180 to get to the

00:20:46.640 other rooms, you

00:20:48.200 know, through the

00:20:48.780 AC or something.

00:20:51.060 And people here are

00:20:52.280 saying, yes, I knew,

00:20:53.440 I knew that, I

00:20:54.340 would not have made

00:20:54.940 that mistake.

00:20:55.860 And I believe you.

00:20:57.280 I believe that some

00:20:58.480 number of you would

00:20:59.460 not have made that

00:21:00.320 mistake.

00:21:01.760 But remember, this was

00:21:02.980 a bureaucracy.

00:21:05.220 And there was

00:21:06.100 probably a lot of

00:21:07.140 back and forth with

00:21:08.260 underlings trying to

00:21:09.500 decide what works and

00:21:10.540 what doesn't.

00:21:11.620 Do you think that at

00:21:12.520 some point the

00:21:13.880 old folks' homes

00:21:16.060 said, yeah, we can

00:21:18.780 handle this?

00:21:21.640 I don't know.

00:21:23.040 Do you think there

00:21:23.680 were any people at

00:21:24.780 those facilities who

00:21:25.780 said, absolutely not,

00:21:28.500 I realize this is the

00:21:29.720 law, but let me tell

00:21:31.200 you, we're not letting

00:21:32.260 these infected people

00:21:33.520 anywhere near our

00:21:34.340 property, period.

00:21:36.320 That's it.

00:21:36.880 They're just now

00:21:37.380 coming on our

00:21:38.000 property.

00:21:38.980 Did they say that?

00:21:40.540 Or did the old folks' 1.00

00:21:42.280 homes say, we can

00:21:43.700 make this work?

00:21:45.420 You know, if you just

00:21:46.180 give us the PPE and

00:21:47.540 some extra funding, we

00:21:49.320 can make it work.

00:21:51.780 I don't know that

00:21:53.120 Cuomo was ever part of

00:21:54.840 any of those

00:21:55.320 conversations.

00:21:56.820 I suspect that by the

00:21:58.860 time he got the

00:21:59.720 information, it sounded

00:22:00.960 more like they think

00:22:03.040 they can work it out.

00:22:04.460 It's our best option.

00:22:05.940 We don't want to put

00:22:06.540 them in hospitals either

00:22:07.680 because even putting

00:22:09.040 them in hospitals is

00:22:09.880 dangerous because of

00:22:10.620 the rest of the

00:22:11.080 hospital.

00:22:12.300 So it's not going to

00:22:13.420 be more or less

00:22:14.320 dangerous no matter

00:22:15.340 where we put them.

00:22:16.280 We'll just try to

00:22:16.840 handle it right.

00:22:17.960 By the time he heard

00:22:19.300 it, if he heard it at

00:22:21.080 all, I don't even know

00:22:21.880 if he was part of the

00:22:22.500 conversation, but do you

00:22:23.960 think he heard it as if

00:22:25.460 we put them there,

00:22:26.300 people will die?

00:22:28.100 Yes or no?

00:22:31.700 This is where I say,

00:22:34.320 this is where you have

00:22:35.940 to understand the fog

00:22:38.160 of war that was

00:22:39.240 happening.

00:22:40.120 Yet you can't judge

00:22:41.300 Cuomo by today's

00:22:42.840 standard.

00:22:43.920 Today we know it was

00:22:44.880 the biggest mistake

00:22:45.740 anybody made.

00:22:47.060 That's obvious.

00:22:47.980 Today.

00:22:48.900 And many of you are

00:22:49.960 saying, oh boy, if I

00:22:51.100 had been there, if I

00:22:52.700 had been there, I

00:22:53.240 wouldn't have made

00:22:53.660 that mistake.

00:22:54.220 And you're probably

00:22:54.680 right.

00:22:55.580 For many of you, I'll

00:22:56.860 bet if you had been

00:22:57.760 in charge, and you

00:22:59.780 had known about this

00:23:00.640 risk, I'll bet you

00:23:01.780 would have played it

00:23:02.300 right, many of you.

00:23:04.020 But it's a real

00:23:06.000 messy world, and we

00:23:07.280 ask our leaders to

00:23:08.600 make decisions on our

00:23:09.780 behalf that we know

00:23:11.660 aren't going to be

00:23:12.220 right every time.

00:23:13.580 So if you've got

00:23:14.480 somebody who cares

00:23:15.740 about your well-being,

00:23:17.140 and I think Cuomo does

00:23:19.160 care about your

00:23:19.940 well-being, right, I

00:23:21.500 don't believe that any

00:23:22.740 of our leaders are the

00:23:23.800 type who literally

00:23:24.580 don't care.

00:23:25.980 Like, Trump cared

00:23:27.820 about people getting

00:23:29.340 better, the Democrats

00:23:31.840 care, the Republicans

00:23:32.740 care, everybody cares,

00:23:34.200 right?

00:23:34.680 So you've got somebody

00:23:35.540 who cares, you've got

00:23:37.320 somebody who's doing

00:23:38.140 his level best.

00:23:40.160 I think Cuomo put in

00:23:41.620 the time, he put in

00:23:42.640 the effort, he had all

00:23:44.220 the right intentions,

00:23:45.280 he's smart enough.

00:23:47.660 This was a giant

00:23:48.620 mistake, despite all of

00:23:50.440 that.

00:23:50.920 Giant mistake.

00:23:51.620 But how do you treat

00:23:53.540 him for this giant

00:23:55.640 mistake?

00:23:56.300 I'm going to treat him

00:23:57.560 the way I started out,

00:23:59.700 by saying we know there

00:24:01.220 are going to be mistakes

00:24:02.140 this big.

00:24:02.760 We knew that.

00:24:03.720 We just didn't know the

00:24:04.420 details.

00:24:05.280 But we knew there were

00:24:07.320 going to be some big

00:24:08.480 leadership mistakes.

00:24:10.080 It was just baked into

00:24:11.080 the situation.

00:24:13.300 So my take is this.

00:24:15.380 You could reasonably

00:24:16.740 assume that Cuomo's

00:24:18.400 political career is over

00:24:20.460 because of it.

00:24:22.420 And I don't know that

00:24:23.580 that would be wrong,

00:24:25.020 because, again, the

00:24:27.300 person in charge takes

00:24:28.460 the responsibility, no

00:24:29.600 matter what they knew or

00:24:30.660 didn't know.

00:24:31.240 That's just how the

00:24:32.160 system has to work.

00:24:33.680 So there's probably a

00:24:34.900 penalty, but personally,

00:24:36.640 I'm not going to hold it

00:24:37.420 against him.

00:24:38.480 In the same way that I'm

00:24:39.740 not going to hold any

00:24:40.700 mistakes that Trump made

00:24:42.520 against him, or any

00:24:44.300 other leader, because I

00:24:45.580 think there was too much

00:24:46.640 uncertainty, and I think

00:24:48.320 that they all had the

00:24:49.480 best interests of the

00:24:50.560 public in mind.

00:24:52.120 So that will be my

00:24:53.460 charity for the day.

00:24:57.040 I'd give Cuomo a break,

00:24:58.720 but I wouldn't ask you

00:24:59.720 to.

00:25:00.660 I'm just giving you my

00:25:01.840 opinion.

00:25:02.960 If you want to treat him

00:25:05.120 harshly for that, I think

00:25:06.380 that you could make a good

00:25:07.420 argument for that.

00:25:09.340 All right.

00:25:10.540 McConnell is slamming

00:25:12.040 new congressperson Marjorie

00:25:15.920 Taylor Greene for her,

00:25:17.780 quote, conspiracy theories

00:25:19.140 that she believes being a

00:25:21.400 cancer on the GOP.

00:25:23.480 McConnell didn't mention

00:25:24.560 her by name, but everybody

00:25:25.620 knew who he was talking

00:25:26.860 about.

00:25:28.240 Now, if you've looked at

00:25:30.800 some of the things that

00:25:31.900 she's believed, you can't

00:25:34.620 possibly support that, can

00:25:36.640 you?

00:25:37.600 Just because she's on your 1.00

00:25:40.120 team if you're a Republican?

00:25:42.520 I mean, seriously?

00:25:43.460 Have you looked at the

00:25:45.300 things that she has

00:25:46.280 believed and said in

00:25:47.360 public?

00:25:49.300 She does not belong in

00:25:52.860 government.

00:25:54.540 I mean, she really, really

00:25:55.840 doesn't belong in the

00:25:56.980 government.

00:25:58.280 So I'm hoping Republicans

00:25:59.760 can fix that because they're

00:26:01.580 just shooting themselves in

00:26:02.660 the head with that as any

00:26:05.400 kind of a leadership role in

00:26:06.880 their party.

00:26:08.600 And of course, because the

00:26:09.960 CNN and the Democrats,

00:26:11.460 the Democrats, etc., they

00:26:13.620 love this kind of a story

00:26:16.000 because it makes all

00:26:16.760 Republicans look crazy.

00:26:19.140 So she's going to get a lot

00:26:20.460 of attention if Republicans

00:26:22.360 don't get rid of her.

00:26:24.240 You know, you do it at your

00:26:25.760 own peril.

00:26:26.900 I mean, she was a big

00:26:28.600 mistake.

00:26:30.000 All right.

00:26:32.580 So Congress continues to be

00:26:34.560 amazingly incompetent with this

00:26:36.640 relief bill.

00:26:37.420 How many years do you have

00:26:41.100 to wait for an emergency

00:26:42.360 relief bill?

00:26:43.900 I feel like every member of

00:26:45.440 Congress should be fired for

00:26:48.180 this alone.

00:26:49.580 I mean, you should just vote

00:26:50.640 against every incumbent.

00:26:54.240 Yeah.

00:26:54.820 Because they're not all bad,

00:26:56.620 of course.

00:26:57.560 You know, there are elected

00:26:59.840 officials who, you know, are

00:27:01.620 doing the right thing or trying

00:27:02.820 to do the right thing.

00:27:04.460 But as a group, they're a

00:27:06.220 complete failure.

00:27:07.680 I mean, it's just embarrassing

00:27:09.620 to be in a country where

00:27:11.360 they can't figure out this

00:27:12.400 emergency relief stuff.

00:27:14.200 It's not that hard.

00:27:16.500 It really isn't.

00:27:17.680 This is not abortion. 0.61

00:27:20.380 It's not deciding to go to war.

00:27:22.960 This is not that hard on the

00:27:25.100 list of things that Congress

00:27:26.520 has to deal with.

00:27:27.720 If they can't do this in a

00:27:30.380 timely fashion, even if all

00:27:33.480 they decided was to, hey, let's

00:27:35.020 give half of it and see how it

00:27:36.380 goes and be ready to give the

00:27:38.400 other half quickly if things go

00:27:41.000 well.

00:27:41.360 Something like that.

00:27:42.920 That would be reasonable.

00:27:44.500 But the way it's being handled

00:27:45.760 now, just pure stupidity.

00:27:48.400 And under these conditions, if the

00:27:50.660 Democrats want to go ahead and

00:27:51.940 just push it through with, you

00:27:53.880 know, their rule shenanigans,

00:27:57.800 which they have the option, I'd

00:27:59.360 say go ahead.

00:27:59.880 I would rather do something wrong

00:28:02.940 than do nothing.

00:28:05.300 And I don't think in the case of

00:28:06.680 this relief stuff, I don't think

00:28:08.580 it's ever going to be wrong to go

00:28:10.120 big.

00:28:11.240 Democrats want to go big.

00:28:13.200 I think going big is the right

00:28:14.680 economic decision in this case.

00:28:18.040 How often do I agree with Democrats

00:28:20.360 on economic decisions?

00:28:23.140 Maybe never.

00:28:24.520 Maybe it's never happened.

00:28:25.800 Well, what I'm agreeing with

00:28:27.720 them now, the big number is the

00:28:29.500 right number.

00:28:30.000 That's it.

00:28:30.640 That's, you know, the Republicans

00:28:32.500 have a good point about money that

00:28:35.460 hasn't been spent yet.

00:28:36.680 Let's spend that first.

00:28:38.660 They have a good point about maybe

00:28:41.580 some of the money is going to

00:28:43.520 people who don't need money.

00:28:45.120 They didn't lose their job in the

00:28:46.380 first place.

00:28:47.060 That's a good point.

00:28:48.720 But where are the Democrats

00:28:50.580 saying, oh, you make a good point

00:28:52.960 about let's not send money to this

00:28:55.180 group?

00:28:55.980 Or are they saying, we'd love to

00:28:58.880 not send money to people who

00:29:00.140 didn't lose their job, but we don't

00:29:01.500 know how to identify them in time

00:29:03.140 in some fair way.

00:29:04.460 So it's just better to put the

00:29:06.180 money out there and get things

00:29:08.040 stimulated.

00:29:09.580 I'm not even hearing the argument.

00:29:11.500 Are you?

00:29:12.840 Have you turned on the news and

00:29:14.540 you've heard the Democrats say, oh,

00:29:17.280 this is why we want this size check.

00:29:19.920 And then talk to a Republican who

00:29:21.740 says, oh, well, but why don't you

00:29:23.840 only give it to the people who

00:29:25.520 need it instead of giving it to

00:29:28.140 people you know don't need it

00:29:29.760 because you know they don't need it.

00:29:32.500 And what does the Democrats say to

00:29:34.100 that?

00:29:35.020 Do they say we'd love to do that

00:29:36.760 and only give it to people who need

00:29:38.660 it, but we don't know how?

00:29:41.380 There's not a mechanism to identify

00:29:43.280 them in a fair way.

00:29:45.500 I'd like to hear that argument.

00:29:47.480 The news business is so corrupt at

00:29:49.760 this point that you don't even know

00:29:51.600 the argument.

00:29:53.620 What side am I supposed to be on?

00:29:56.180 I don't know.

00:29:57.860 I mean, I default to the big number

00:29:59.560 until somebody gives me an argument.

00:30:01.780 If there's no argument presented,

00:30:04.580 which is not to say there isn't an

00:30:06.100 argument, but it's not presented to

00:30:08.480 the public, I'm going to use the

00:30:10.680 information I have.

00:30:12.140 And the information I have is that

00:30:14.260 the bigger number is usually the smart

00:30:15.720 one in an emergency situation,

00:30:18.200 right?

00:30:20.280 So the news business,

00:30:23.420 complete failure on this topic

00:30:25.380 and others as well.

00:30:29.960 There's some fake news,

00:30:31.880 mostly on Fox News and their

00:30:33.700 right-leaning organs.

00:30:36.620 Remember I told you that whoever has

00:30:39.900 the president at the time,

00:30:42.580 whether Republican or Democrat,

00:30:44.620 the news organization that

00:30:46.480 opposes that form of president

00:30:48.980 will be the one who does most of

00:30:50.380 the fake news.

00:30:51.700 Now that may not be true this time,

00:30:54.220 but that's what I predicted.

00:30:56.500 So you should see more fake news

00:30:59.660 coming out of the right-leaning

00:31:01.660 publications compared to what you saw

00:31:04.480 under Trump.

00:31:06.140 Here's an example.

00:31:07.060 So you've probably heard this as news,

00:31:09.480 but it's fake news,

00:31:11.160 that Biden once said that

00:31:12.560 using executive orders

00:31:14.640 to govern is like being a dictator.

00:31:19.340 How many of you think that happened?

00:31:22.580 How many of you believe the news

00:31:24.860 that Biden said while campaigning

00:31:28.960 that Trump's use of executive orders

00:31:31.980 would make him like a dictator?

00:31:34.760 And then the second part of the news is

00:31:36.720 and that Biden is breaking records

00:31:39.180 for executive orders.

00:31:42.780 How many think that actually happened?

00:31:46.260 I'm looking at your comments.

00:31:47.780 Yes, I saw the clip.

00:31:49.620 So somebody said,

00:31:50.500 I saw the tape.

00:31:51.500 I do.

00:31:52.020 I saw the video.

00:31:53.420 You saw it with your own eyes, right?

00:31:56.160 What do people say

00:31:57.480 when I point out to them

00:31:59.520 that the fine people hoax is a hoax?

00:32:01.960 How did they respond?

00:32:04.000 How did they respond every single time?

00:32:06.720 They say,

00:32:07.720 Scott, it's not a hoax.

00:32:09.920 I saw it on video.

00:32:11.820 I saw it myself.

00:32:14.360 How do people respond

00:32:15.660 when I say that the Trump

00:32:17.540 suggesting people drink bleach

00:32:20.300 was a hoax

00:32:22.180 and didn't happen?

00:32:23.060 How do people respond?

00:32:25.260 They respond by saying,

00:32:26.920 Scott, I saw it with my own eyes.

00:32:29.620 I saw the video.

00:32:30.600 The video doesn't lie.

00:32:32.700 The video doesn't lie.

00:32:34.020 I saw it.

00:32:35.780 Would you like me to send you

00:32:37.020 the clip of the video

00:32:39.020 that clearly says

00:32:41.060 drinking bleach?

00:32:43.540 And of course,

00:32:44.280 it doesn't exist, right?

00:32:46.760 But many of you in the comments

00:32:48.640 have seen the video

00:32:49.880 of Biden saying

00:32:51.700 that using executive orders

00:32:53.480 to govern

00:32:54.280 would be like a dictator.

00:32:56.380 Many of you say

00:32:58.680 you've seen that.

00:33:00.380 You know it doesn't exist, right?

00:33:04.840 Now, when I tell you

00:33:06.440 that that video doesn't exist,

00:33:09.000 what's your brain doing right now?

00:33:11.760 All of you who say

00:33:12.940 you saw it with your own eyes,

00:33:14.840 heard it with your own ears,

00:33:15.920 are thinking,

00:33:16.880 what's going on right now?

00:33:19.180 Because one thing

00:33:19.940 I can tell you for sure,

00:33:21.380 those of you who saw it

00:33:23.260 with your own eyes

00:33:24.120 and heard it with your own ears,

00:33:25.460 you really did see it

00:33:26.940 with your own eyes

00:33:27.540 and you really did hear it

00:33:28.540 with your own ears.

00:33:29.680 So why would I be telling you

00:33:31.140 it didn't happen?

00:33:32.720 What's going on here?

00:33:33.820 Is it a trick?

00:33:35.160 What do you think I'm up to?

00:33:37.140 Because I gave you two examples

00:33:38.540 where the other side,

00:33:40.200 from you politically,

00:33:41.500 most of you politically,

00:33:42.860 had this problem

00:33:44.140 where they thought

00:33:44.800 they saw things

00:33:45.560 that didn't happen.

00:33:47.320 And I'm telling you

00:33:48.240 that it might have happened to you.

00:33:50.300 What's that feel like?

00:33:52.300 Because you saw that it happened

00:33:53.580 to other people

00:33:54.220 and they're normal people.

00:33:55.880 The people who believe

00:33:57.020 they saw Trump say

00:33:59.240 the neo-Nazis are fine people,

00:34:01.760 the people who believe

00:34:02.580 they saw that with their own eyes

00:34:03.840 and heard it with their own ears

00:34:04.960 are not crazy.

00:34:07.160 They're normal people,

00:34:08.520 just like you.

00:34:10.520 But those normal people

00:34:12.140 had an experience,

00:34:13.720 a hallucination essentially,

00:34:15.780 of something that didn't happen.

00:34:18.120 I'm telling you,

00:34:19.680 you the people

00:34:20.900 who said here in the comments,

00:34:21.980 that Biden did say,

00:34:24.340 and you heard it

00:34:25.020 with your own ears,

00:34:25.840 you saw it on the video,

00:34:27.080 probably saw it multiple times,

00:34:28.920 that he said

00:34:29.580 using executive orders

00:34:30.960 is what dictators do. 0.99

00:34:34.260 Is anybody having

00:34:35.380 any question in your mind?

00:34:38.160 Now, keep in mind

00:34:39.780 that I just gave you

00:34:40.960 two examples

00:34:41.640 where normal people

00:34:42.760 imagine something

00:34:44.320 was on video

00:34:45.140 and they saw it

00:34:45.840 that didn't happen.

00:34:46.480 And I'm saying

00:34:48.460 it's happening to you,

00:34:49.740 the people who think

00:34:50.640 they saw Biden say that,

00:34:52.100 right now.

00:34:53.520 Are you even a little bit

00:34:56.040 doubting

00:34:57.560 your own impression

00:34:59.520 of what you saw or heard?

00:35:01.020 Let me see in the comments

00:35:02.140 before I finish my point

00:35:03.480 and tell you

00:35:03.900 what really happened

00:35:04.660 and how the illusion

00:35:06.100 is working.

00:35:07.820 Somebody says,

00:35:08.840 I saw it.

00:35:10.860 A stretch to say.

00:35:12.040 People got a little

00:35:17.180 quiet now, right?

00:35:18.320 Got a little quiet.

00:35:20.580 So, this is what

00:35:22.000 I was hoping.

00:35:22.700 I was hoping

00:35:23.260 that I had built

00:35:24.260 enough credibility

00:35:25.280 with this particular audience

00:35:26.880 over time

00:35:27.500 that if I tell you

00:35:28.840 something is an illusion,

00:35:31.160 even if you're positive

00:35:32.520 it's not,

00:35:34.580 isn't there just

00:35:35.380 part of you

00:35:36.000 that says,

00:35:37.160 wait a minute,

00:35:37.840 this guy's got

00:35:38.620 a pretty good record

00:35:39.600 of calling out illusions.

00:35:42.040 How would I know

00:35:43.320 if I'm having one?

00:35:45.080 You realize

00:35:45.960 that the whole point

00:35:46.860 of an illusion

00:35:47.500 is that the person

00:35:48.920 who's in it

00:35:49.560 is the one who can't tell.

00:35:51.420 The person who's not in it

00:35:53.220 might be able to

00:35:54.700 tell you

00:35:55.640 you're having an illusion,

00:35:57.040 an outsider,

00:35:58.120 if they're not having

00:35:58.920 the illusion themselves.

00:36:00.300 But you can't tell.

00:36:02.140 So,

00:36:02.780 your level of certainty

00:36:04.540 that Biden said

00:36:05.960 that using executive orders

00:36:07.440 is for dictators,

00:36:08.900 your level of certainty

00:36:10.220 about that

00:36:10.900 should not be

00:36:12.380 an indicator

00:36:13.000 of whether it happened.

00:36:15.140 It shouldn't be.

00:36:16.220 It's not an indicator.

00:36:17.560 It's not a hint.

00:36:20.580 It shouldn't even bias you.

00:36:24.060 Here's what really happened

00:36:25.280 on the video

00:36:26.300 you thought you saw.

00:36:28.180 The context

00:36:28.980 was removed.

00:36:30.720 Just the way

00:36:31.500 the fine people hoax happened.

00:36:33.360 Just the way

00:36:34.000 the drinking bleach

00:36:35.020 hoax happened.

00:36:36.720 The context

00:36:37.520 was this.

00:36:39.100 That there are

00:36:39.920 some things

00:36:40.500 you can do

00:36:41.000 executive orders for.

00:36:42.880 There are some things

00:36:44.140 which you can't.

00:36:45.880 And Biden

00:36:46.320 was specifically

00:36:47.220 making the point

00:36:49.120 just like I did

00:36:50.580 that there are

00:36:51.520 some things

00:36:52.020 that executive orders

00:36:52.980 are good for.

00:36:53.640 There are some things

00:36:55.300 that you can't

00:36:56.060 use them for

00:36:56.620 such as

00:36:57.460 voting on a budget.

00:37:00.080 The specific example

00:37:01.260 they were talking about.

00:37:02.620 And he said

00:37:03.120 that if you were

00:37:04.080 to use an executive order

00:37:05.620 where legislation

00:37:07.300 is the only way to go

00:37:09.520 let's say a budget thing

00:37:11.220 that that would be

00:37:12.840 like being a dictator.

00:37:14.820 Now

00:37:15.000 did Trump

00:37:16.300 do that thing

00:37:17.900 that would be

00:37:19.160 like being a dictator?

00:37:20.220 And the answer is no.

00:37:21.880 Biden was not

00:37:22.780 accusing Trump

00:37:23.720 of being a dictator

00:37:25.240 because

00:37:26.100 the executive orders

00:37:27.960 that Trump used

00:37:28.800 were the same nature

00:37:30.180 of the ones

00:37:30.800 that Biden

00:37:31.460 contemplated

00:37:32.360 even when he was running

00:37:33.380 said he would do

00:37:34.860 when he got elected

00:37:35.960 and then executed.

00:37:38.680 Biden was

00:37:39.600 very carefully

00:37:40.600 distinguishing

00:37:41.480 between things

00:37:42.800 that can be

00:37:43.480 executive orders

00:37:44.340 just like Trump did

00:37:45.480 and things

00:37:47.120 which you can't do

00:37:47.880 by executive order

00:37:48.840 because the Constitution

00:37:50.380 doesn't give you

00:37:51.420 that power.

00:37:53.000 And if you were

00:37:53.600 to violate

00:37:54.120 the Constitution

00:37:54.980 by doing

00:37:55.960 an executive order

00:37:57.040 on something

00:37:57.640 that you shouldn't

00:37:58.280 do an executive order on

00:37:59.520 that would be

00:38:00.600 like being a dictator.

00:38:02.080 Now

00:38:02.520 I watched the video

00:38:03.720 from beginning

00:38:04.980 to end

00:38:05.420 and I saw that

00:38:06.200 just as clear as day.

00:38:07.780 It could not be

00:38:08.680 more clear.

00:38:09.960 He said

00:38:10.500 executive orders

00:38:12.280 in these cases

00:38:13.160 not in these cases

00:38:14.960 and if you overuse

00:38:16.080 your executive order

00:38:16.960 you'd be a dictator.

00:38:18.040 So he's not going

00:38:18.860 to do it

00:38:19.300 and he didn't.

00:38:22.100 All right?

00:38:23.100 Now

00:38:23.540 how many of you

00:38:24.340 still believe

00:38:25.120 your original

00:38:27.740 go watch the video

00:38:29.980 again.

00:38:30.800 Go watch the video

00:38:31.940 again and you can

00:38:32.800 see very clearly

00:38:33.760 once I've primed

00:38:34.900 you for it,

00:38:35.480 right?

00:38:35.860 If you're not

00:38:36.540 primed for it

00:38:37.300 and you've been

00:38:37.800 primed for the

00:38:38.560 opposite,

00:38:39.440 if you had just

00:38:40.480 watched Hannity

00:38:41.380 telling you that

00:38:42.980 Biden says

00:38:43.800 executive orders

00:38:44.820 are for dictators,

00:38:46.160 if Hannity had just 1.00

00:38:47.280 told you that's

00:38:47.980 what happened

00:38:48.500 and then he showed

00:38:49.660 you that clip,

00:38:50.960 what would you see?

00:38:52.480 You'd see what Hannity 0.80

00:38:53.580 told you you were

00:38:54.400 going to see

00:38:54.880 because you would

00:38:55.720 be primed

00:38:56.500 to see it that way.

00:38:58.200 Suppose there

00:38:58.920 had never been

00:38:59.500 a Hannity

00:38:59.960 or anybody else

00:39:01.280 suggesting that

00:39:03.160 Biden said

00:39:05.020 something about

00:39:05.620 executive orders

00:39:06.360 and dictators.

00:39:07.400 And suppose you

00:39:07.900 had just seen

00:39:08.420 the clip

00:39:08.880 just without

00:39:10.780 any priming

00:39:11.560 or let's say

00:39:13.280 I had primed

00:39:13.960 you and said

00:39:14.820 what you're going

00:39:16.320 to see is that

00:39:17.140 Biden is talking

00:39:18.180 about things you

00:39:19.020 can and cannot

00:39:19.660 do with executive

00:39:20.480 orders.

00:39:21.360 Here's the clip.

00:39:22.700 If I had primed

00:39:24.000 you that way,

00:39:25.080 you wouldn't

00:39:26.260 have seen

00:39:26.580 anything.

00:39:27.560 You just would

00:39:28.120 have seen Biden

00:39:28.720 saying sometimes

00:39:29.480 you can use

00:39:30.080 them,

00:39:30.300 sometimes you

00:39:30.740 can't.

00:39:31.340 That's it.

00:39:31.960 That was the

00:39:32.300 whole thing.

00:39:34.680 Now,

00:39:35.540 you got real

00:39:37.400 quiet in the

00:39:38.020 comments.

00:39:39.020 I'm not seeing

00:39:39.460 a lot of

00:39:39.840 pushbacks,

00:39:40.740 right?

00:39:41.540 So,

00:39:43.060 be aware

00:39:43.820 that if you

00:39:45.540 were,

00:39:45.920 let's say,

00:39:46.500 pro-Trump,

00:39:47.420 that you are

00:39:48.260 now in a

00:39:49.060 world in which

00:39:49.740 your own team

00:39:50.780 will be selling

00:39:51.500 you a lot of

00:39:52.160 fake news.

00:39:53.780 That's going

00:39:54.360 to happen.

00:39:55.340 Here's an

00:39:55.760 example.

00:39:56.480 That's just

00:39:56.860 fake news.

00:39:57.360 A lot of

00:40:02.920 people online

00:40:03.620 say,

00:40:04.480 on Twitter

00:40:05.000 anyway,

00:40:05.660 that the

00:40:06.240 mask mandates

00:40:07.320 are part of

00:40:08.580 some kind of

00:40:09.080 secret government

00:40:10.360 plan to

00:40:12.000 train the

00:40:12.780 public to

00:40:13.480 be compliant

00:40:14.300 so that when

00:40:15.560 they have

00:40:15.960 future orders

00:40:17.300 for the

00:40:17.820 public,

00:40:18.640 the public

00:40:19.100 will be so

00:40:19.880 well trained

00:40:20.640 by this

00:40:21.640 mask mandate

00:40:22.720 and the

00:40:23.940 lockdowns and

00:40:24.600 such that

00:40:25.400 they'll be

00:40:25.760 ready and

00:40:26.420 primed for

00:40:27.140 whatever is

00:40:27.680 the next

00:40:28.060 thing they're

00:40:28.520 asked to

00:40:28.920 do.

00:40:30.620 That's not

00:40:31.420 a thing.

00:40:33.320 That is

00:40:34.220 weird conspiracy

00:40:35.520 theory thinking

00:40:36.660 because governments

00:40:38.300 are not that

00:40:39.200 coordinated and

00:40:40.280 not that

00:40:40.780 competent.

00:40:42.040 They don't

00:40:42.400 see that far

00:40:43.120 in the future.

00:40:45.240 The least

00:40:46.280 likely thing

00:40:47.260 that's going

00:40:47.780 on is that

00:40:48.980 there's a

00:40:49.380 government plot

00:40:50.340 to train

00:40:51.720 the citizens

00:40:52.460 to be

00:40:53.080 compliant.

00:40:53.640 now you

00:40:55.200 could argue

00:40:55.640 that the

00:40:56.080 effect of

00:40:56.740 it is

00:40:58.020 that the

00:40:58.400 public gets

00:40:58.940 used to

00:40:59.360 anything and

00:41:00.220 that's a

00:41:00.800 good argument

00:41:01.220 that if you

00:41:02.500 get the

00:41:02.900 public used

00:41:03.500 to doing

00:41:03.920 anything it

00:41:05.260 might have

00:41:05.660 an effect on

00:41:06.280 the next

00:41:06.620 thing that

00:41:06.960 you want

00:41:07.260 them to

00:41:07.500 do.

00:41:07.680 That's

00:41:07.840 true.

00:41:08.360 But to

00:41:08.800 imagine it's

00:41:09.480 some kind

00:41:09.900 of intentional

00:41:10.720 plan like

00:41:12.200 a giant

00:41:12.640 government

00:41:13.120 plot to

00:41:13.820 make the

00:41:14.280 public more

00:41:15.100 compliant,

00:41:16.140 that's not

00:41:17.180 happening.

00:41:17.660 things.

00:41:18.780 That's

00:41:19.400 Bigfoot

00:41:19.880 talk.

00:41:21.540 So I

00:41:23.680 would be

00:41:24.240 embarrassed to

00:41:26.100 say that in

00:41:26.660 public if I

00:41:27.420 were you.

00:41:28.480 That is

00:41:29.100 just crazy

00:41:30.320 talk.

00:41:31.960 There's no

00:41:32.500 government that's

00:41:33.960 that coordinated

00:41:34.840 and evil and

00:41:36.120 planning on this

00:41:37.620 mental takeover

00:41:38.720 of the people.

00:41:39.540 That's not

00:41:39.960 happening.

00:41:40.480 There's no

00:41:40.820 room where

00:41:42.300 that's being

00:41:42.780 discussed.

00:41:45.100 That's just

00:41:45.920 crazy talk.

00:41:47.660 So yesterday

00:41:48.880 I made some

00:41:49.360 of you mad

00:41:49.840 about I was

00:41:51.360 talking about

00:41:51.900 masks and

00:41:53.060 why the

00:41:53.640 risk-reward

00:41:54.820 cost-benefit

00:41:56.300 is that you

00:41:56.960 should wear

00:41:57.340 them.

00:41:57.900 Even if it

00:41:58.680 turned out

00:41:59.080 later we

00:41:59.540 found out

00:41:59.980 it didn't

00:42:00.360 work,

00:42:01.220 based on

00:42:01.980 what we

00:42:02.280 know today,

00:42:03.340 it would

00:42:04.500 be the

00:42:04.840 smart decision

00:42:05.500 to wear

00:42:06.340 them.

00:42:07.000 So I

00:42:07.420 was saying

00:42:07.740 that yesterday

00:42:08.280 and I

00:42:09.260 was pointing

00:42:09.700 out that

00:42:11.140 if somebody

00:42:11.840 just says

00:42:12.300 masks don't

00:42:12.940 work or

00:42:13.400 they say

00:42:13.780 masks do

00:42:14.320 work,

00:42:14.700 just ignore

00:42:15.200 those people

00:42:15.780 because nobody

00:42:16.900 knows if

00:42:17.380 they do

00:42:17.680 work and

00:42:18.200 nobody

00:42:18.420 knows if

00:42:18.860 they don't.

00:42:19.740 You don't

00:42:20.200 know.

00:42:21.360 You could

00:42:21.800 have a

00:42:22.180 hunch,

00:42:23.240 you could

00:42:23.680 have a

00:42:24.300 reasonable

00:42:24.960 opinion,

00:42:25.820 but you

00:42:26.340 don't know.

00:42:27.340 So it's

00:42:27.580 a how do

00:42:29.880 you make

00:42:30.100 decisions in

00:42:31.660 the face

00:42:32.040 of the

00:42:32.320 unknown.

00:42:33.200 Now in

00:42:33.560 my case,

00:42:34.200 I say,

00:42:34.920 as somebody

00:42:35.680 pointed out

00:42:36.240 on Twitter

00:42:36.740 yesterday,

00:42:37.760 if viruses

00:42:38.700 travel on

00:42:39.520 moisture and

00:42:40.760 breathing into

00:42:41.420 your mask

00:42:42.000 makes it

00:42:42.520 moist on

00:42:43.020 the inside,

00:42:44.100 well there

00:42:44.520 must be

00:42:45.020 some virus

00:42:45.780 that's getting

00:42:46.280 stuck to

00:42:46.760 your mask.

00:42:47.380 Because the

00:42:47.840 moisture is.

00:42:49.140 So is that

00:42:50.660 enough to

00:42:51.100 change the

00:42:51.900 nature of

00:42:52.600 the infection

00:42:53.500 curve?

00:42:54.280 Well that's

00:42:54.860 still unknown.

00:42:56.240 But something's

00:42:57.560 happening with

00:42:58.280 those masks

00:42:58.980 because it is

00:42:59.600 stopping some

00:43:00.940 moisture from

00:43:01.600 getting out.

00:43:02.760 Now a lot of

00:43:03.400 you disagreed

00:43:04.520 with me.

00:43:06.200 And the

00:43:06.920 strongest argument

00:43:08.600 against masks,

00:43:10.700 I feel it's

00:43:11.940 fair to share

00:43:12.900 that with you.

00:43:13.860 So here's the

00:43:14.520 strongest argument,

00:43:15.460 you'll see this

00:43:16.100 on Twitter

00:43:16.480 quite a bit,

00:43:17.160 and it goes

00:43:17.500 like this.

00:43:18.560 Masks don't

00:43:19.080 work.

00:43:21.420 That's the

00:43:22.020 argument.

00:43:23.360 Now you

00:43:23.780 might say,

00:43:24.560 is there

00:43:25.220 something missing

00:43:25.860 from the

00:43:26.240 argument,

00:43:26.820 such as

00:43:27.920 reasons and

00:43:30.280 something like

00:43:32.020 that,

00:43:32.440 facts,

00:43:33.180 anything?

00:43:34.140 To which I

00:43:34.700 say,

00:43:35.240 I believe the

00:43:35.800 argument is

00:43:36.460 that since

00:43:37.480 masks are

00:43:38.100 not proven

00:43:38.920 to work in

00:43:40.560 coronavirus,

00:43:41.260 in a

00:43:42.400 randomized

00:43:42.760 controlled

00:43:43.380 study,

00:43:44.620 that that's

00:43:45.100 allowing people

00:43:45.840 to say,

00:43:46.660 masks don't

00:43:47.080 work,

00:43:48.560 which is

00:43:49.320 crazy.

00:43:50.500 Because the

00:43:51.260 only thing we

00:43:51.680 know is that

00:43:52.140 it can't be

00:43:52.720 tested because

00:43:53.380 there's no

00:43:53.780 ethical way to

00:43:54.780 send a bunch

00:43:55.800 of people into

00:43:56.360 a virus zone

00:43:57.220 without masks

00:43:58.100 just to see if

00:43:59.400 they get

00:43:59.640 infected.

00:44:00.480 So you can't

00:44:01.000 do human

00:44:01.660 tests.

00:44:02.640 You can't

00:44:03.440 test people

00:44:04.040 in that way.

00:44:05.600 If you're,

00:44:06.220 well, you can't

00:44:06.720 do it under

00:44:07.220 the condition

00:44:07.880 that you have

00:44:09.240 a strong

00:44:09.820 feeling that

00:44:10.680 the masks

00:44:11.400 are more

00:44:12.300 good than

00:44:12.780 bad.

00:44:13.240 In that case,

00:44:13.740 it's unethical

00:44:14.380 to test it.

00:44:16.120 If you didn't

00:44:16.820 know anything

00:44:17.380 and you didn't

00:44:18.560 suspect one way

00:44:19.460 or the other,

00:44:19.940 then maybe it

00:44:20.460 would be ethical.

00:44:22.640 So the only

00:44:23.520 reason I bring

00:44:24.040 this up is

00:44:24.680 because Dr.

00:44:26.340 Nicole Sapphire,

00:44:27.880 who you

00:44:28.280 recognize as a

00:44:29.340 regular medical

00:44:30.740 professional on

00:44:31.820 Fox News,

00:44:33.560 backed me up

00:44:34.760 on that

00:44:35.860 opinion on

00:44:36.560 Twitter.

00:44:37.460 So I just

00:44:38.180 want you to

00:44:38.600 know that

00:44:39.040 there's one

00:44:39.580 person that

00:44:40.520 Fox News

00:44:41.420 uses as

00:44:43.680 their go-to

00:44:44.560 professional for

00:44:45.540 medical stuff

00:44:46.320 who agrees

00:44:47.700 with me that

00:44:48.560 masks are

00:44:49.880 the right

00:44:50.380 risk-reward

00:44:51.480 decision.

00:44:53.800 All right?

00:44:54.240 So I only

00:44:54.960 say that so

00:44:56.120 that you've

00:44:56.520 heard somebody

00:44:57.200 associated with

00:44:58.340 Trump and

00:45:00.220 the right,

00:45:00.860 I won't say

00:45:01.560 Trump, but

00:45:02.100 let's say

00:45:02.460 associated with

00:45:03.520 Fox News

00:45:04.180 and is a

00:45:06.400 medical professional

00:45:07.260 and is following

00:45:08.380 this closely

00:45:09.160 agrees exactly

00:45:11.620 with me.

00:45:12.940 So that

00:45:13.660 doesn't mean

00:45:14.120 either of us

00:45:14.960 are right,

00:45:15.700 but you should

00:45:16.700 know that for

00:45:17.280 context.

00:45:20.920 When was the

00:45:21.820 last time you

00:45:22.520 knew what was

00:45:23.220 in a piece of

00:45:24.080 legislation or

00:45:25.460 an executive

00:45:26.000 order?

00:45:27.120 Sometimes an

00:45:27.960 executive order is

00:45:28.800 kind of simple.

00:45:29.640 You know, when

00:45:29.940 Trump did them,

00:45:30.660 they were kind

00:45:30.980 of simple, and

00:45:31.860 I guess some

00:45:32.680 of Bidens are

00:45:33.920 simple because

00:45:34.520 they're reversing

00:45:35.180 things, but we

00:45:37.180 don't have any

00:45:38.020 conversation about

00:45:38.980 what the actual

00:45:39.840 policies are,

00:45:40.660 do we?

00:45:41.820 When was the

00:45:42.380 last time you

00:45:42.880 turned on the

00:45:43.480 news and here

00:45:45.320 was a list of

00:45:46.280 the executive

00:45:46.940 orders that

00:45:47.840 Biden or

00:45:48.760 Trump had

00:45:49.280 signed, and

00:45:50.600 here's the

00:45:51.120 analysis of

00:45:52.100 why that's

00:45:52.540 good or bad

00:45:53.220 based on

00:45:53.940 experts?

00:45:55.520 I feel like

00:45:56.620 the news

00:45:58.020 business isn't

00:45:59.260 even trying to

00:46:00.620 be news.

00:46:02.000 Because we

00:46:02.540 have a

00:46:02.800 government making

00:46:03.520 all these

00:46:04.060 executive orders

00:46:05.640 and laws, we

00:46:07.640 don't even know

00:46:08.160 what they are.

00:46:09.380 It's not even

00:46:09.980 being reported

00:46:10.540 to us except

00:46:11.100 like the

00:46:11.500 headline.

00:46:12.640 It's a

00:46:13.920 coronavirus

00:46:14.420 bill.

00:46:15.720 Don't ask

00:46:16.300 any more

00:46:16.660 questions.

00:46:17.660 It's just a

00:46:18.340 coronavirus bill.

00:46:21.640 Maybe we

00:46:22.340 should have

00:46:22.640 some kind of

00:46:23.300 facility in

00:46:24.180 this country,

00:46:25.120 since the

00:46:25.760 fake news

00:46:26.320 industry isn't

00:46:27.160 interested, to

00:46:28.320 tell us what

00:46:29.040 the decisions

00:46:29.940 are all about

00:46:30.600 and maybe

00:46:32.160 get some

00:46:33.280 opinions about

00:46:34.020 whether it's

00:46:34.400 a good idea

00:46:34.980 or a bad

00:46:35.420 idea.

00:46:36.320 That would

00:46:36.920 be nice.

00:46:39.520 In the

00:46:40.180 news, singer

00:46:41.880 Marilyn Manson

00:46:43.020 is being

00:46:44.640 accused of a

00:46:45.880 variety of

00:46:47.000 abusive things,

00:46:50.480 sexual abuse,

00:46:52.500 some kind of

00:46:52.960 thing like that,

00:46:53.680 and there are a

00:46:54.340 number of women 1.00

00:46:54.860 who have come

00:46:55.320 forward with

00:46:56.020 similar stories.

00:46:57.040 women. 0.81

00:46:58.040 Now, the

00:46:58.320 most tragic

00:46:58.940 thing about

00:46:59.600 this is that

00:47:01.280 these are

00:47:02.460 women who 0.99

00:47:03.020 thought they

00:47:04.960 were getting

00:47:05.260 into a

00:47:06.020 healthy

00:47:06.300 relationship

00:47:06.900 with Marilyn

00:47:09.160 Manson,

00:47:11.460 who, by the

00:47:12.580 way, that is

00:47:13.160 not Marilyn

00:47:13.780 Manson's

00:47:14.360 original name.

00:47:16.460 This is

00:47:17.240 somebody who

00:47:17.760 changed their

00:47:18.320 name to

00:47:19.280 make it more

00:47:20.000 compatible with

00:47:21.040 a known

00:47:22.300 mass murderer, 0.72

00:47:23.820 Charles Manson.

00:47:24.460 And the

00:47:26.140 women who 0.99

00:47:26.580 got involved

00:47:27.260 with Marilyn

00:47:27.960 Manson

00:47:28.440 didn't see

00:47:30.280 any red

00:47:30.800 flags that

00:47:32.380 maybe this

00:47:33.260 was an

00:47:33.700 unhealthy

00:47:34.200 situation to

00:47:35.180 get into.

00:47:36.920 And I

00:47:37.760 think to

00:47:38.080 myself,

00:47:39.360 you didn't

00:47:40.980 see any

00:47:41.500 red flags

00:47:42.300 at all.

00:47:43.820 There was

00:47:44.160 nothing that

00:47:45.340 Marilyn

00:47:45.900 Manson had

00:47:47.140 perhaps sung

00:47:49.700 or performed,

00:47:51.460 nothing about

00:47:53.160 his choice

00:47:53.960 of last

00:47:54.620 name,

00:47:56.620 anything

00:47:57.100 about the

00:47:59.740 situation.

00:48:01.320 It was like

00:48:01.660 a little red

00:48:02.100 flag,

00:48:03.020 nothing.

00:48:04.480 Looked

00:48:05.080 pretty safe

00:48:05.920 to everybody.

00:48:07.920 I guess

00:48:08.600 that's the

00:48:09.000 tragedy,

00:48:09.720 that these

00:48:10.140 things can

00:48:10.620 look so

00:48:11.320 safe and

00:48:12.620 yet be so

00:48:13.220 dangerous.

00:48:16.540 And when

00:48:17.260 I talk about

00:48:18.360 stories like

00:48:18.940 this, I

00:48:19.360 would like to

00:48:19.820 invite the

00:48:21.820 what about

00:48:22.360 the victims

00:48:22.920 guy.

00:48:24.400 I don't

00:48:25.100 know who

00:48:25.380 would like

00:48:25.680 to play

00:48:26.000 that role

00:48:26.420 today.

00:48:26.920 It's a

00:48:27.220 rotating role.

00:48:29.040 But somebody

00:48:29.940 needs to

00:48:30.420 step in and

00:48:31.920 get over on

00:48:32.640 Twitter and

00:48:33.380 say something

00:48:34.120 to me along

00:48:35.000 the lines

00:48:35.600 of,

00:48:36.680 Scott,

00:48:37.620 Scott,

00:48:39.180 what about

00:48:39.940 the victims?

00:48:41.460 What about

00:48:42.260 the victims?

00:48:43.880 You monster!

00:48:45.820 What about

00:48:46.540 the victims?

00:48:46.960 Now, I

00:48:49.680 know this is

00:48:50.200 hard to

00:48:50.540 believe, but

00:48:52.480 I actually

00:48:53.120 care about

00:48:53.800 victims.

00:48:54.840 I know,

00:48:55.460 hard to

00:48:55.900 believe.

00:48:56.540 I actually

00:48:57.120 feel bad,

00:48:58.780 I have

00:48:59.060 empathy for

00:49:00.540 other humans

00:49:01.380 who are

00:49:01.680 suffering in

00:49:02.340 tragedy.

00:49:03.360 And this

00:49:04.040 will even

00:49:04.360 surprise you

00:49:04.900 more.

00:49:05.660 If a

00:49:06.140 tragedy

00:49:06.520 happens,

00:49:07.720 I don't

00:49:08.760 want it to

00:49:09.200 happen again.

00:49:10.660 I know,

00:49:11.400 surprising,

00:49:12.060 right?

00:49:13.180 You listen

00:49:14.000 to me and

00:49:14.460 you're thinking,

00:49:15.200 I think that

00:49:15.660 guy likes

00:49:16.180 tragedies.

00:49:17.720 I think he

00:49:18.200 likes it when

00:49:18.740 bad things

00:49:19.220 happen to

00:49:19.640 people, but

00:49:20.000 no, no,

00:49:21.000 I actually

00:49:21.360 don't.

00:49:22.080 And if I

00:49:22.480 had it my

00:49:22.980 way, there

00:49:24.060 would be no

00:49:24.740 extra tragedies.

00:49:27.060 And if I

00:49:27.480 were magic,

00:49:29.120 I would even

00:49:29.740 go back in

00:49:30.420 time and

00:49:31.400 reverse some

00:49:32.420 of the

00:49:32.660 tragedies that

00:49:33.420 had already

00:49:33.780 happened.

00:49:34.920 That's the

00:49:35.400 kind of guy

00:49:35.900 I am.

00:49:36.600 I know it

00:49:37.100 seems like

00:49:38.360 I'm pro

00:49:39.820 tragedy.

00:49:41.720 And that's

00:49:42.140 why it's

00:49:44.080 such a good

00:49:44.500 public service

00:49:45.300 when the

00:49:46.420 what-about-the-victims

00:49:47.520 guy comes

00:49:48.280 onto Twitter

00:49:48.900 pretty much

00:49:49.980 every day

00:49:50.460 and says,

00:49:51.940 you monster.

00:49:54.540 What about

00:49:55.400 the victims?

00:49:56.800 What about

00:49:57.660 the victims,

00:49:58.560 you freaking

00:49:59.340 monster?

00:50:00.960 Thank goodness

00:50:01.840 for that

00:50:02.280 person.

00:50:03.180 Because otherwise

00:50:04.000 you'd be thinking

00:50:04.840 to yourself,

00:50:05.960 hey, I think

00:50:06.600 Scott, he

00:50:08.040 likes tragedies.

00:50:09.880 I feel like he

00:50:10.840 wants more of

00:50:11.740 them.

00:50:13.220 But no,

00:50:14.620 no, I

00:50:15.140 don't.

00:50:16.140 Surprise.

00:50:19.300 Here's a story

00:50:20.140 that surprised

00:50:20.900 me a little,

00:50:21.600 but maybe

00:50:22.000 shouldn't have.

00:50:23.100 You all know

00:50:23.580 the story of

00:50:24.220 Ashley Babbitt,

00:50:25.220 who was one

00:50:25.760 of the

00:50:26.660 assaulters on

00:50:28.120 the Capitol.

00:50:29.020 I'll call it

00:50:29.580 an assault.

00:50:31.240 And she

00:50:32.380 was the

00:50:33.320 one going

00:50:34.040 through the

00:50:34.540 broken window

00:50:35.380 on the top

00:50:36.160 of a door,

00:50:36.720 and she

00:50:37.840 was shot

00:50:38.480 dead by

00:50:40.340 somebody in

00:50:41.480 law enforcement

00:50:42.080 who basically

00:50:45.760 ended that

00:50:46.580 part of the

00:50:47.060 assault by

00:50:47.900 shooting the

00:50:48.540 first person

00:50:49.100 through the

00:50:49.480 door.

00:50:50.780 There is a

00:50:51.900 decision by

00:50:52.660 investigators,

00:50:53.500 it's not a

00:50:54.000 final decision,

00:50:54.880 but it's a

00:50:55.240 recommendation,

00:50:56.440 by investigators

00:50:57.300 to decline

00:51:00.440 to bring

00:51:00.860 charges.

00:51:03.260 Now, if

00:51:04.660 you remember

00:51:05.180 my take on

00:51:06.100 this,

00:51:06.720 I said,

00:51:07.820 from what I

00:51:08.660 can see,

00:51:09.240 that's a

00:51:10.720 clean,

00:51:11.660 unfortunate,

00:51:13.760 but clean

00:51:14.700 shooting,

00:51:16.520 meaning that

00:51:17.340 it was

00:51:17.920 absolutely the

00:51:19.080 right decision

00:51:19.700 to take the

00:51:20.360 shot,

00:51:21.380 even with

00:51:24.560 the tragic

00:51:25.000 ending that

00:51:25.620 somebody was

00:51:26.180 killed,

00:51:26.960 who I don't

00:51:27.580 believe should

00:51:28.180 have been

00:51:28.440 killed,

00:51:29.280 meaning that

00:51:29.940 in a world

00:51:30.840 that works

00:51:31.360 properly,

00:51:32.480 she'd still 0.92

00:51:32.920 be alive.

00:51:34.140 So it's a

00:51:34.980 mistake in

00:51:35.460 that sense.

00:51:35.940 But in

00:51:37.200 terms of

00:51:37.720 a defense

00:51:39.320 strategy,

00:51:41.200 in terms

00:51:41.840 of preventing

00:51:43.560 more bloodshed

00:51:46.480 maybe than

00:51:47.720 there might

00:51:48.120 have been,

00:51:49.140 I said from

00:51:50.160 the start it

00:51:50.680 looked like a

00:51:51.200 good shot,

00:51:53.320 as tragic

00:51:54.400 as it is.

00:51:55.900 What?

00:51:57.080 I'm getting

00:51:57.940 a message?

00:51:58.400 what about

00:52:00.880 the victim?

00:52:03.060 Do I,

00:52:03.560 oh no,

00:52:04.080 I should

00:52:04.320 clarify.

00:52:05.540 I actually

00:52:06.160 do feel

00:52:06.660 bad for

00:52:07.120 the victim.

00:52:09.000 And it's

00:52:10.280 a tragedy.

00:52:11.940 I know,

00:52:12.740 surprising.

00:52:14.000 I actually

00:52:14.440 feel bad for

00:52:15.160 people who

00:52:15.680 are hurt.

00:52:16.840 You didn't

00:52:17.260 see that

00:52:17.620 coming,

00:52:18.220 I know.

00:52:19.240 But having

00:52:19.680 said that,

00:52:20.560 and certainly

00:52:21.320 with all

00:52:21.740 respect to

00:52:22.300 the family,

00:52:22.820 and friends

00:52:24.640 of the

00:52:25.780 woman who 0.99

00:52:26.100 was killed,

00:52:26.760 Ashley

00:52:27.140 Babbitt,

00:52:28.380 wish it

00:52:29.040 hadn't

00:52:29.280 happened,

00:52:29.740 of course.

00:52:32.040 Deeply wish

00:52:32.860 it hadn't

00:52:33.220 happened.

00:52:34.640 But the

00:52:36.380 officer who

00:52:37.080 took the

00:52:37.500 shot made

00:52:39.100 the right

00:52:39.440 decision,

00:52:40.200 in my opinion.

00:52:41.820 Not being a

00:52:42.760 law enforcement

00:52:43.400 professional,

00:52:44.740 I'm open to

00:52:45.620 having that

00:52:46.140 opinion revised

00:52:47.160 by somebody who

00:52:47.920 knows more

00:52:48.300 than I do.

00:52:49.700 If Dan

00:52:50.760 Bongino

00:52:51.260 disagrees with

00:52:52.120 me this

00:52:52.500 afternoon,

00:52:53.360 I'm going to

00:52:53.960 listen to what

00:52:54.420 he has to

00:52:54.820 say.

00:52:56.580 But that's

00:52:57.280 my take.

00:52:57.840 I think this

00:52:58.260 was the

00:52:58.620 right decision.

00:52:59.820 I will,

00:53:00.480 however,

00:53:01.020 put this

00:53:01.900 turd in the

00:53:02.600 punch bowl

00:53:03.060 for you.

00:53:05.100 I don't

00:53:05.740 think there's

00:53:06.200 the slightest

00:53:06.760 chance that

00:53:08.580 this would be

00:53:09.280 called a

00:53:09.880 justified

00:53:10.340 shooting had

00:53:11.260 she not

00:53:11.720 been white.

00:53:14.260 Sorry.

00:53:15.780 I don't

00:53:16.440 think we

00:53:16.800 live in a

00:53:17.280 world in

00:53:18.100 which

00:53:18.420 this

00:53:19.540 shooting

00:53:19.920 could have

00:53:20.380 gone

00:53:20.640 unpunished

00:53:21.620 except

00:53:23.300 that the

00:53:24.620 person who

00:53:24.980 got shot

00:53:25.360 was white.

00:53:27.160 You know

00:53:27.860 that's true,

00:53:28.500 right?

00:53:29.160 You know

00:53:29.560 that's true.

00:53:31.580 And the

00:53:33.420 reason is

00:53:33.840 obvious.

00:53:34.500 Because if

00:53:35.140 it had gone

00:53:35.520 the other

00:53:35.900 way, if

00:53:37.080 it had been

00:53:37.640 a different

00:53:38.160 kind of

00:53:38.680 assault, I

00:53:39.200 think in

00:53:39.480 this particular

00:53:40.040 case, maybe

00:53:41.140 it wouldn't

00:53:41.460 have mattered

00:53:41.840 so much

00:53:42.300 because the

00:53:43.040 assault on

00:53:43.540 the Capitol

00:53:44.000 was such

00:53:45.120 a big issue.

00:53:46.220 But in

00:53:46.740 general,

00:53:47.140 the race

00:53:50.620 of the

00:53:50.820 person

00:53:51.020 getting

00:53:51.240 shot

00:53:51.540 probably

00:53:52.040 made a

00:53:52.440 big

00:53:52.620 difference.

00:53:53.520 Probably

00:53:53.760 made a

00:53:54.140 big

00:53:54.320 difference.

00:53:56.640 But it

00:53:57.240 was the

00:53:57.440 right

00:53:57.560 decision.

00:53:59.700 All right.

00:54:00.900 That is

00:54:02.500 my provocative

00:54:03.240 live stream

00:54:05.800 for today.

00:54:07.280 How many

00:54:07.980 of you

00:54:08.320 have I

00:54:08.680 made

00:54:08.880 angry?

00:54:09.200 let me

00:54:13.560 see in

00:54:13.900 the

00:54:14.020 comments.

00:54:15.900 Tell me

00:54:16.520 what you

00:54:16.880 think about

00:54:17.560 it when

00:54:17.920 I disagree

00:54:18.540 with you.

00:54:19.980 Because I

00:54:20.600 know it

00:54:20.880 goes both

00:54:21.340 ways.

00:54:22.020 One of the

00:54:22.600 most common

00:54:23.440 positive things

00:54:25.140 that people

00:54:25.540 say about my

00:54:26.240 live streams

00:54:26.760 is that they

00:54:28.180 like it when

00:54:28.720 I disagree

00:54:29.220 with them.

00:54:29.760 Because those

00:54:30.480 are the

00:54:30.760 points where

00:54:32.220 the friction

00:54:32.940 and the

00:54:33.280 entertainment

00:54:33.640 happens.

00:54:34.120 somebody

00:54:39.880 says the

00:54:40.480 right

00:54:40.660 decision?

00:54:41.620 Jesus.

00:54:42.780 Yeah the

00:54:43.120 right decision

00:54:43.660 to take

00:54:44.100 the shot

00:54:44.680 because the

00:54:46.700 alternative

00:54:47.420 would have

00:54:47.920 been worse.

00:54:49.180 So when I

00:54:49.560 say it's

00:54:49.920 the right

00:54:50.200 decision it's

00:54:51.160 not obviously

00:54:52.300 nobody wants

00:54:53.160 anybody to

00:54:54.020 get killed 0.81

00:54:54.460 but it was

00:54:55.840 the right

00:54:56.160 decision in

00:54:56.840 terms of

00:54:57.320 reducing the

00:54:58.420 amount of

00:54:58.980 potential

00:54:59.520 bloodshed.

00:55:01.000 Because if

00:55:01.360 they had

00:55:01.580 gotten through

00:55:02.060 it could

00:55:02.380 have gotten

00:55:02.700 a lot

00:55:03.300 worse.

00:55:04.120 Don't

00:55:04.640 know but

00:55:06.360 the police

00:55:07.400 officer didn't

00:55:08.080 know either

00:55:08.580 and was

00:55:09.340 defending the

00:55:10.000 capital and

00:55:11.020 defending our

00:55:11.760 government.

00:55:12.980 And under

00:55:13.220 those conditions

00:55:13.920 yeah that was

00:55:14.500 the right

00:55:14.800 shot.

00:55:17.320 I only

00:55:18.040 disagree with

00:55:18.640 you about

00:55:19.000 education

00:55:19.720 somebody says.

00:55:20.720 I don't know

00:55:21.060 what I say

00:55:21.540 about education

00:55:22.300 that you would

00:55:22.880 disagree about.

00:55:25.780 Somebody says

00:55:26.560 only when you're

00:55:27.200 anti-Trump.

00:55:28.160 I've never

00:55:28.740 been anti-Trump.

00:55:31.100 I've always

00:55:31.820 been the same.

00:55:33.180 Some things

00:55:33.780 did that I

00:55:34.460 liked.

00:55:35.100 Some things

00:55:35.580 I didn't.

00:55:36.440 It's the same 0.53

00:55:37.240 thing I say

00:55:37.700 about AOC.

00:55:38.960 There's no

00:55:39.340 difference.

00:55:40.320 Why can't

00:55:40.760 you be

00:55:41.180 why can't

00:55:43.220 you just

00:55:43.520 be for

00:55:44.100 things that

00:55:44.660 are good

00:55:45.000 and against

00:55:45.480 things that

00:55:45.900 are bad?

00:55:46.780 Why do

00:55:47.120 you have to

00:55:47.480 be for

00:55:47.980 Trump or

00:55:48.440 against

00:55:48.700 Trump?

00:55:49.340 That doesn't

00:55:49.880 even make

00:55:50.160 sense.

00:55:53.700 The only

00:55:54.320 thing that

00:55:54.700 really bothers

00:55:55.280 me is when

00:55:55.780 you say the

00:55:56.340 flu doesn't

00:55:57.240 kill people. 0.90

00:55:58.260 What I say

00:55:58.900 is that the

00:55:59.580 regular seasonal

00:56:00.840 flu probably

00:56:03.880 doesn't kill

00:56:04.680 anywhere near

00:56:06.740 the number

00:56:07.140 that they

00:56:07.500 report.

00:56:08.460 Now obviously

00:56:09.020 if you're

00:56:09.500 weak enough

00:56:10.140 pretty much

00:56:11.040 anything can

00:56:11.600 kill you. 0.99

00:56:12.260 It doesn't

00:56:12.680 take much

00:56:13.100 if you're

00:56:13.400 weak enough.

00:56:14.340 So I'm

00:56:14.740 not going to

00:56:15.080 say that

00:56:15.400 nobody has

00:56:16.000 ever died

00:56:16.460 from a

00:56:16.900 seasonal flu

00:56:17.500 but the

00:56:18.400 numbers that

00:56:18.860 we got from

00:56:19.580 30,000 to

00:56:20.400 80,000 people

00:56:21.260 a year dying

00:56:21.920 from the

00:56:22.300 regular flu

00:56:23.020 I would

00:56:24.160 bet every

00:56:25.840 penny I have

00:56:26.780 that that's

00:56:27.540 exaggerated and

00:56:28.520 a lot.

00:56:28.940 And I base

00:56:29.920 it on the

00:56:30.220 fact that we

00:56:31.520 don't know

00:56:31.860 anybody who

00:56:32.340 dies from

00:56:32.720 the regular

00:56:33.140 flu.

00:56:34.420 But as soon

00:56:35.360 as we got

00:56:35.860 that same

00:56:36.380 number of

00:56:36.800 people dying

00:56:37.320 from coronavirus

00:56:38.080 everybody knew

00:56:39.660 somebody.

00:56:41.000 At around 50,000

00:56:43.060 80,000 deaths

00:56:44.720 from coronavirus

00:56:45.500 we all knew

00:56:47.340 somebody who

00:56:48.020 at least knew

00:56:48.580 somebody who

00:56:49.080 died of it.

00:56:50.080 But still I

00:56:50.960 don't know

00:56:51.220 anybody who

00:56:51.640 died of

00:56:51.980 regular flu

00:56:52.580 my whole

00:56:53.640 life.

00:56:54.400 Never heard

00:56:54.820 of it.

00:56:56.020 So you know

00:56:56.860 that number's

00:56:57.360 made up but

00:56:58.140 it doesn't mean

00:56:58.700 that nobody

00:56:59.260 died of

00:56:59.860 the flu.

00:57:00.720 Now let

00:57:01.780 me to this

00:57:02.360 point.

00:57:02.960 One of the

00:57:03.360 problems that

00:57:03.820 I have in

00:57:04.440 communication

00:57:05.080 quite often

00:57:06.920 is that I

00:57:08.260 speak in

00:57:08.900 absolutes

00:57:09.820 when I

00:57:11.260 believe that

00:57:11.880 people understand

00:57:12.780 it's not an

00:57:13.460 absolute.

00:57:14.940 And that

00:57:15.580 confuses X

00:57:16.620 percentage of

00:57:17.320 the population

00:57:17.920 and I'm

00:57:18.520 always amazed

00:57:20.120 when it

00:57:20.460 happens because

00:57:21.020 people don't

00:57:21.660 have the

00:57:22.000 same let's

00:57:23.340 say reading

00:57:24.300 or hearing

00:57:25.120 comprehension.

00:57:25.780 so let

00:57:27.160 me say

00:57:27.440 let me

00:57:27.860 make a

00:57:28.220 general

00:57:28.580 statement.

00:57:29.840 When I

00:57:30.040 say things

00:57:31.320 like nobody

00:57:33.160 dies of

00:57:34.140 the regular

00:57:35.200 seasonal

00:57:35.760 flu how

00:57:37.180 do you

00:57:37.420 hear that?

00:57:38.560 Do you

00:57:38.860 hear that

00:57:39.300 as literally

00:57:40.200 not one

00:57:40.840 person dies?

00:57:42.280 Because you

00:57:43.000 shouldn't.

00:57:44.400 If I say

00:57:45.300 something that's

00:57:45.900 an absolute

00:57:46.500 of that

00:57:47.320 nature you

00:57:48.400 should be

00:57:48.760 translating that

00:57:49.540 in your mind

00:57:50.100 to oh he

00:57:51.480 means it

00:57:52.940 would be

00:57:53.260 rare or

00:57:54.000 not many

00:57:54.560 people or

00:57:55.320 mostly.

00:57:57.380 That's how

00:57:57.920 your brain

00:57:58.300 should interpret

00:57:58.860 that.

00:57:59.640 But I

00:58:00.120 think that

00:58:00.540 maybe I

00:58:01.200 more than

00:58:01.680 other people

00:58:02.340 speak in

00:58:03.720 accidental

00:58:04.520 absolutes

00:58:05.440 because I

00:58:06.020 assume that

00:58:06.640 you know

00:58:06.940 it's not

00:58:07.320 an absolute

00:58:07.820 but people

00:58:08.860 will still

00:58:09.300 call me out

00:58:09.860 and say

00:58:10.080 it's not

00:58:10.460 an absolute

00:58:10.980 to which I

00:58:12.480 say I

00:58:13.860 didn't even

00:58:14.320 think that

00:58:14.700 was a

00:58:14.980 possibility

00:58:15.480 that you

00:58:15.880 would take

00:58:16.220 it that

00:58:16.500 way.

00:58:17.300 So I

00:58:17.560 do have

00:58:17.820 that problem

00:58:18.380 communication

00:58:19.060 wise and

00:58:19.580 I speak in

00:58:20.140 absolutes

00:58:20.900 more than I

00:58:22.380 should.

00:58:22.940 Will I

00:58:25.780 take calls

00:58:26.640 again?

00:58:27.760 Yeah probably

00:58:28.540 at some

00:58:29.380 point but

00:58:30.400 I would

00:58:31.460 want to

00:58:31.740 use different

00:58:32.480 technology for

00:58:34.440 that.

00:58:36.480 We should

00:58:36.980 take you

00:58:37.340 seriously but

00:58:38.160 not literally

00:58:38.860 on the

00:58:40.400 absolutes

00:58:40.980 yes that's

00:58:42.040 how you

00:58:42.240 should take

00:58:42.480 me.

00:58:43.820 Be precise

00:58:44.400 in your

00:58:44.800 speech says

00:58:46.100 Peterson.

00:58:48.920 Yes you

00:58:49.320 should.

00:58:50.000 You should

00:58:50.400 be precise.

00:58:51.200 Yeah the

00:58:54.440 absolutes are 1.00

00:58:55.340 hyperbole in

00:58:56.360 a sense that

00:58:56.980 would be

00:58:57.400 a reasonable

00:58:58.400 thing to

00:58:58.840 say.

00:59:01.120 Somebody says

00:59:02.000 they die

00:59:02.420 from secondary

00:59:03.180 causes like

00:59:04.120 pneumonia.

00:59:05.800 Yeah I

00:59:06.580 suppose that's

00:59:07.500 the way it

00:59:07.820 happens.

00:59:10.940 And I

00:59:12.200 should say

00:59:12.580 few people

00:59:13.240 die of it

00:59:13.840 and it's

00:59:14.540 using.

00:59:15.360 Yeah I

00:59:15.760 think it

00:59:16.020 is lazy.

00:59:16.980 I think

00:59:17.320 that's a

00:59:17.720 fair statement.

00:59:18.320 It is

00:59:18.720 lazy to

00:59:19.660 speak in

00:59:20.080 absolutes

00:59:20.800 and assume

00:59:22.120 that the

00:59:22.760 audience

00:59:23.680 understands it

00:59:24.700 that way.

00:59:25.240 That would

00:59:25.620 be fair to

00:59:26.100 say.

00:59:31.200 And

00:59:31.680 pneumonia is

00:59:32.260 always the

00:59:32.640 fall guy

00:59:33.140 somebody says.

00:59:35.260 Poor

00:59:35.700 pneumonia.

00:59:36.380 It gets

00:59:36.620 blamed for

00:59:37.080 everything.

00:59:40.600 All

00:59:40.820 right.

00:59:41.000 if this

00:59:44.220 is a

00:59:44.480 health issue

00:59:45.440 then why

00:59:46.000 no one

00:59:46.420 says to

00:59:46.980 get some

00:59:47.340 sun and

00:59:48.600 get a

00:59:48.960 walk and

00:59:49.700 lose some

00:59:50.100 weight.

00:59:50.680 Well I

00:59:51.140 said that.

00:59:52.420 Wasn't I

00:59:52.920 the first

00:59:53.280 person who

00:59:53.780 told you

00:59:54.160 when the

00:59:54.540 pandemic

00:59:54.900 started that

00:59:56.160 you should

00:59:56.680 walk every

00:59:57.440 day and

00:59:58.440 that you

00:59:58.800 should get

00:59:59.200 some sun

00:59:59.640 and get

01:00:00.060 your vitamin

01:00:00.480 D.

01:00:01.380 I hear

01:00:02.160 people say

01:00:03.040 it all the

01:00:03.380 time.

01:00:04.080 So if

01:00:04.340 you're saying

01:00:04.700 that we're

01:00:05.540 not being

01:00:06.000 told that

01:00:06.760 the government

01:00:07.980 isn't you

01:00:08.880 know they're

01:00:09.740 not all over

01:00:10.540 it that's

01:00:11.000 for sure.

01:00:12.000 But they

01:00:12.360 have said

01:00:12.680 that.

01:00:13.240 I mean I

01:00:13.500 think Fauci

01:00:14.180 and Birx

01:00:15.200 have probably

01:00:15.640 said vitamin

01:00:16.260 D is good

01:00:16.760 for you

01:00:17.160 probably more

01:00:17.900 than once.

01:00:23.400 Said people

01:00:24.120 who die

01:00:24.400 from the

01:00:24.760 flu are

01:00:25.220 listed as

01:00:25.980 dying from

01:00:26.640 something else.

01:00:30.420 Yeah for

01:00:31.180 the very

01:00:31.580 old I'm

01:00:32.100 sure that's

01:00:32.500 true.

01:00:32.920 But I

01:00:33.260 don't think

01:00:33.600 there are

01:00:33.880 50 year

01:00:34.440 olds who

01:00:34.740 are dying

01:00:35.040 from the

01:00:35.440 flu.

01:00:37.240 Or should

01:00:38.140 I say

01:00:38.620 very few

01:00:39.980 of them.

01:00:40.540 see how

01:00:42.380 easily it

01:00:42.940 is for

01:00:43.420 me to

01:00:43.680 get into

01:00:44.540 absolutes.

01:00:46.520 All right.

01:00:48.260 That is

01:00:48.880 all I've

01:00:49.200 got to

01:00:49.680 say for

01:00:50.900 today.

01:00:52.400 Somebody

01:00:52.740 says 80,000

01:00:53.620 people died

01:00:54.200 from the

01:00:54.600 seasonal

01:00:54.920 flu in

01:00:55.500 2018.

01:00:56.520 Well what

01:00:56.920 I'm telling

01:00:57.300 you is

01:00:57.700 they don't

01:00:58.100 count those.

01:00:59.580 Do you

01:00:59.840 know where

01:01:00.020 the 80,000

01:01:00.680 comes from?

01:01:01.880 It's an

01:01:02.560 estimate based

01:01:03.360 on how many

01:01:03.980 people died

01:01:04.880 compared to

01:01:05.680 how many

01:01:05.980 they think

01:01:06.500 usually die.

01:01:07.860 And then

01:01:08.060 they say

01:01:08.380 well that

01:01:09.460 difference

01:01:09.860 must be

01:01:10.280 the flu.

01:01:11.300 I'm

01:01:11.540 oversimplifying

01:01:12.320 it a little

01:01:12.680 bit but

01:01:13.020 it's like

01:01:13.600 that.

01:01:14.440 Nobody

01:01:14.820 counts them.

01:01:16.360 So nobody

01:01:16.740 counted and

01:01:17.440 got 80,000.

01:01:18.540 They just

01:01:19.060 looked at a

01:01:19.520 bunch of

01:01:19.840 statistics and

01:01:20.680 said well

01:01:21.300 looks like it

01:01:22.480 could have

01:01:22.700 been 80,000.

01:01:25.300 All right.

01:01:26.180 That's it for

01:01:26.700 now.

01:01:27.240 I'll talk to

01:01:27.580 you tomorrow.

01:01:29.300 Bye.

01:01:29.700 All right

01:01:32.700 YouTubers have 0.98

01:01:34.900 anything

01:01:35.240 fascinating to

01:01:36.280 ask me?

01:01:38.020 Somebody says

01:01:39.300 55% of

01:01:40.460 COVID deaths

01:01:41.220 have the

01:01:41.660 flu.

01:01:42.220 I don't

01:01:42.560 know what

01:01:42.800 that means.

01:01:48.360 Who killed

01:01:49.300 Ashley Babbitt?

01:01:50.420 It was one of

01:01:51.080 the police

01:01:51.480 officers.

01:01:53.000 I don't

01:01:53.320 think that

01:01:53.660 matters.

01:01:54.000 Scott, if

01:01:59.020 Bigfoot to

01:01:59.800 believe China 0.87

01:02:00.440 has a

01:02:00.780 100-year

01:02:01.140 plan.

01:02:02.460 No, China 0.99

01:02:03.000 has a plan

01:02:03.900 for dominating

01:02:04.760 the world.

01:02:05.780 They say

01:02:06.320 it.

01:02:07.220 A number

01:02:07.780 of Chinese

01:02:08.900 officials have

01:02:09.620 said it in

01:02:10.140 public directly.

01:02:12.520 So it's

01:02:13.080 definitely not a

01:02:13.900 conspiracy to

01:02:14.780 imagine that

01:02:15.360 China wants to 0.98

01:02:16.080 dominate the

01:02:16.580 world.

01:02:17.380 I would say

01:02:17.780 that's as

01:02:18.200 true as

01:02:18.600 anything could

01:02:19.040 be.

01:02:22.580 Somebody

01:02:23.100 says you

01:02:23.580 assume zero

01:02:24.400 cost of

01:02:25.100 wearing masks.

01:02:26.200 No, I

01:02:26.500 don't.

01:02:27.280 A lot of

01:02:27.880 people have

01:02:28.640 been saying

01:02:28.980 that.

01:02:29.300 But why

01:02:29.900 would I

01:02:30.220 assume

01:02:30.520 something

01:02:30.880 dumb?

01:02:32.220 Why would

01:02:32.740 I assume

01:02:33.060 that?

01:02:35.460 The people

01:02:36.500 who say

01:02:36.880 you have

01:02:37.440 not considered

01:02:38.120 the negative

01:02:38.820 impacts of

01:02:39.620 wearing masks

01:02:40.380 to which I

01:02:41.320 say everybody

01:02:42.640 is considered

01:02:43.260 that.

01:02:43.860 There's nobody

01:02:44.300 in the world

01:02:44.760 who hasn't

01:02:45.200 considered

01:02:45.620 that.

01:02:46.520 Every single

01:02:47.400 person who

01:02:47.940 put on a

01:02:48.420 mask thinks

01:02:49.760 while they're

01:02:50.160 doing it,

01:02:51.120 man, there's

01:02:51.760 a downside to

01:02:52.460 this.

01:02:53.580 It's probably

01:02:55.280 got a big

01:02:55.660 downside too.

01:02:56.500 Everybody

01:02:56.820 considers that.

01:02:58.620 So don't

01:02:59.980 imagine I

01:03:01.320 haven't

01:03:01.660 considered the

01:03:02.380 obvious.

01:03:03.580 It would be

01:03:04.180 one thing to

01:03:04.780 imagine I

01:03:05.360 hadn't

01:03:05.720 considered

01:03:06.140 something that's

01:03:06.820 not obvious.

01:03:08.560 That would

01:03:09.280 be a reasonable

01:03:09.820 statement.

01:03:10.640 But when you

01:03:11.240 say somebody

01:03:11.820 hasn't considered

01:03:12.840 the most

01:03:13.440 obvious part of

01:03:14.460 the whole

01:03:14.840 question,

01:03:16.700 you're not

01:03:17.280 really a

01:03:18.140 serious player.

01:03:19.960 We all

01:03:20.820 consider all

01:03:21.660 the big

01:03:22.140 stuff.

01:03:22.640 It may

01:03:23.080 be some

01:03:23.420 weird thing

01:03:23.980 I don't

01:03:24.340 consider.

01:03:24.860 That would

01:03:25.140 be worth

01:03:25.460 bringing up.

01:03:26.500 But don't

01:03:26.960 say I

01:03:27.720 haven't

01:03:28.000 considered the

01:03:28.760 most essential

01:03:30.160 part of the

01:03:30.860 entire

01:03:31.180 conversation.

01:03:36.260 All right.

01:03:38.340 Let's play

01:03:39.140 chess.

01:03:39.680 I'm just

01:03:39.940 looking at

01:03:40.240 your comments

01:03:40.760 now.

01:03:42.300 If you're

01:03:42.860 listening to

01:03:43.360 this on

01:03:44.000 audio, it

01:03:44.600 must be

01:03:44.920 painful because

01:03:45.880 you can't

01:03:46.240 see the

01:03:46.500 comments.

01:03:46.900 How is

01:03:49.380 the education

01:03:49.920 system affecting

01:03:51.220 U.S.

01:03:51.740 politics?

01:03:52.740 Well, in a

01:03:54.300 dangerous way.

01:03:55.740 We're letting

01:03:56.380 our least

01:03:58.100 capable citizens

01:03:59.300 train our

01:04:00.160 children, which

01:04:00.780 are our

01:04:01.080 teachers.

01:04:03.180 I'll just

01:04:03.980 leave that

01:04:04.380 statement there.

01:04:06.380 Our least

01:04:07.380 capable

01:04:08.060 citizens are

01:04:09.540 training our

01:04:10.120 children how

01:04:11.500 to be good

01:04:12.340 citizens.

01:04:12.760 exception would

01:04:16.680 be, of

01:04:17.060 course, my

01:04:17.460 sister, in

01:04:20.000 case you're

01:04:20.300 listening.

01:04:22.620 So there

01:04:23.840 again is one

01:04:24.460 of my

01:04:24.900 absolute

01:04:27.120 statements.

01:04:28.220 It, of

01:04:28.640 course, is

01:04:29.100 not true that

01:04:30.700 every teacher

01:04:31.480 is somehow

01:04:33.060 less good than

01:04:34.160 every other

01:04:34.660 citizen.

01:04:35.340 So you should

01:04:35.860 recognize that as

01:04:36.800 obvious hyperbole.

01:04:38.280 But my point

01:04:38.880 is, what

01:04:39.500 makes teachers

01:04:40.680 the moral

01:04:42.580 standard, they 1.00

01:04:44.140 might be very

01:04:44.760 good at

01:04:45.200 teaching the

01:04:46.320 elements of

01:04:47.340 education.

01:04:48.580 But if they're

01:04:49.220 also teaching

01:04:50.300 you how to

01:04:51.320 be a good

01:04:51.880 moral, ethical

01:04:53.040 citizen, do

01:04:55.520 they take

01:04:55.960 classes in

01:04:56.640 that?

01:04:57.560 What exactly

01:04:58.560 is their

01:04:59.080 qualification to

01:05:01.000 teach your

01:05:01.500 children how to

01:05:02.140 be people, as

01:05:03.580 opposed to

01:05:04.040 teaching them

01:05:04.520 how to read,

01:05:05.200 which would be

01:05:05.660 fine.

01:05:07.760 So when I

01:05:08.540 say they're the

01:05:09.080 least capable,

01:05:10.580 I mean that

01:05:11.560 they don't

01:05:12.820 have any

01:05:13.220 training that

01:05:13.800 I'm aware

01:05:14.220 of on what

01:05:15.900 it takes to

01:05:16.400 be a good

01:05:16.800 citizen.

01:05:20.160 All right,

01:05:20.880 where's your

01:05:21.380 check?

01:05:22.120 All right,

01:05:22.440 that's all for

01:05:22.900 today.

01:05:23.380 I'll talk to

01:05:23.880 you tomorrow.
