Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1277 Scott Adams： There Will be Extra Cursing at Congress Today. Goes Well With Coffee

00:00:00.000 Hey everybody, come on in, come on in. Can you smell the coffee brewing? I think you can.

00:00:11.220 Yeah, we're so accustomed to having the simultaneous sip that you can almost taste it minutes before it happens.

00:00:19.840 It is so good. And what do you do to enjoy the simultaneous sip?

00:00:26.100 Well, you don't just sit there. No, you don't just watch it happen. No, that would be wrong.

00:00:34.780 You join in. It's called the simultaneous sip and all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein,

00:00:41.460 a canteen drink or a glass of a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:45.520 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day. I think it makes everything better.

00:00:49.180 It's called the simultaneous sip. Are you ready? Are you ready for this?

00:00:54.380 You'd better be ready. Go.

00:01:03.220 Yeah, now if you enjoyed that live, you know what the feeling is, don't you?

00:01:10.280 Yeah, you do. Savor it. Savor it.

00:01:14.560 Okay, now we can move on.

00:01:16.880 Gotta stop and smell the coffee. That's just good advice.

00:01:20.980 Well, yesterday there was a big national event, something called a Super Bowl.

00:01:27.860 Have I ever told you before that one way to predict the future is that the best story almost always wins?

00:01:37.640 Not every time.

00:01:39.560 But the best story usually wins.

00:01:43.420 Who was the best story for the Super Bowl?

00:01:47.700 Tom Brady was the best story.

00:01:50.200 Because he left a dominating team.

00:01:52.580 They decided that they didn't need him anymore.

00:01:54.880 He was too old for them.

00:01:56.440 And so they let him go.

00:01:58.280 What would you want to do

00:01:59.960 if you had just been the greatest quarterback ever

00:02:04.240 and you had just been let go from your team

00:02:07.240 while being still a winning quarterback

00:02:09.260 because you were too old?

00:02:12.020 What would you really, really like to do in that situation?

00:02:16.980 Well, what you would like to do is win another Super Bowl

00:02:19.660 with a different team.

00:02:22.900 Because if you do that,

00:02:24.400 what does that tell your old coach?

00:02:28.020 Tells you it wasn't about him, was it?

00:02:29.860 What's it tell your old team?

00:02:34.620 Well, it kind of says it wasn't about them, was it?

00:02:38.180 Maybe all those Super Bowls weren't because you used to have a good coach.

00:02:43.260 Maybe the Super Bowls were because of you.

00:02:46.560 So I can't imagine anything that would be more fun

00:02:50.160 than being Tom Brady this morning.

00:02:53.480 Can you?

00:02:54.640 I mean, what would be more fun

00:02:56.380 than not only winning the Super Bowl yet again,

00:02:59.860 seventh one.

00:03:01.560 I doubt anybody will ever match that.

00:03:04.160 And also rubbing it in the face

00:03:06.160 of all the people who said you were too old.

00:03:08.440 Guess I don't need that coach.

00:03:11.880 Guess I don't need that good team that was behind me.

00:03:16.440 Now, I'm not what you'd call a sports fan.

00:03:21.060 I'll say some bad things about sports later.

00:03:23.120 But I had a little thing I was trying to do,

00:03:28.160 just sort of a mental experiment,

00:03:30.600 and it went like this.

00:03:32.120 I wanted to see if I could get all the way through Super Bowl week,

00:03:36.340 or the two weeks before Super Bowl,

00:03:38.600 and all the way through the game,

00:03:41.000 and all the way to today,

00:03:43.420 without once knowing

00:03:44.840 the name of the quarterback

00:03:46.820 who was opposing Tom Brady.

00:03:49.320 And I still don't know it.

00:03:52.240 I actually don't know

00:03:53.600 the name of the other quarterback

00:03:55.820 for the Kansas City Chiefs.

00:04:00.320 Can anybody tell me the name of the quarterback?

00:04:02.520 Who is the other guy?

00:04:04.580 Don't even know his name.

00:04:08.620 Patrick Mahomes, somebody saying?

00:04:12.780 I don't know.

00:04:14.380 Oh, okay.

00:04:16.340 I guess that's the name of an athlete,

00:04:18.220 Patrick Mahomes.

00:04:19.700 Well, Patrick Mahomes did not get a lot of attention

00:04:22.040 relative to Tom Brady yesterday.

00:04:25.840 How would you like to play in the Super Bowl

00:04:27.340 when people don't even know your name?

00:04:31.200 I guess a lot of people did know his name,

00:04:33.480 the ones who actually watched the Super Bowl.

00:04:36.380 There were a lot of jokes

00:04:37.500 that came after the Super Bowl,

00:04:40.020 including Brett Weinstein,

00:04:43.500 who said in a tweet,

00:04:46.220 how long before the courts rule

00:04:47.840 on who actually won the Super Bowl.

00:04:50.260 Now, that was a good tweet

00:04:51.840 and a good joke,

00:04:53.600 but not as good as all of the comments

00:04:56.360 on this tweet.

00:04:57.700 So go look for that

00:04:59.540 in either Brett Weinstein's feed

00:05:03.920 or in mine.

00:05:04.600 I retweeted him yesterday

00:05:05.780 or today.

00:05:08.460 And you should see

00:05:10.360 all the other funny comments.

00:05:11.620 It turns out

00:05:13.680 this was a really good straight line

00:05:15.640 or at least the situation

00:05:17.220 was a good straight line

00:05:18.220 for lots of good jokes.

00:05:20.500 All right.

00:05:22.440 Now, do you believe my theory

00:05:24.300 about the best story usually wins?

00:05:26.800 And Tom Brady was the best story.

00:05:28.960 So even though he was not favored

00:05:30.700 in terms of, you know,

00:05:32.220 the specifics of the betting odds

00:05:34.680 of these games,

00:05:36.100 he had the best story.

00:05:37.620 So now, remember,

00:05:40.960 I first used this theory

00:05:42.800 when President Trump

00:05:43.940 ran for office in 2016.

00:05:46.160 He was the best story by far.

00:05:49.220 Him winning was the best story.

00:05:51.140 But when he ran for re-election,

00:05:53.680 what was the best story?

00:05:56.340 It really wasn't

00:05:57.480 Trump wins another election

00:05:59.840 because that would have been

00:06:01.620 sort of expected.

00:06:03.300 So that's not the best story.

00:06:04.800 You expect incumbents to win.

00:06:08.540 The best story would be

00:06:09.920 running somebody

00:06:10.740 who's clearly mentally defective

00:06:12.720 while you're really trying

00:06:14.180 to put in office

00:06:15.000 the vice president

00:06:16.420 who's too progressive

00:06:18.520 according to a lot of people.

00:06:20.640 That's a good story.

00:06:22.600 Right?

00:06:23.100 If you compare those two stories

00:06:25.060 of Trump just wins again

00:06:27.100 and you get more of the same,

00:06:29.340 or the brain-dead dementia guy

00:06:32.720 who's being really backed

00:06:34.340 by the real president,

00:06:35.980 I mean, it's not even close.

00:06:37.060 One of them is the good story.

00:06:40.120 So watch how often that predicts.

00:06:43.480 There's no reason for that,

00:06:44.960 by the way,

00:06:46.000 at least that I can think of.

00:06:47.980 The best reason might be

00:06:49.240 that because our minds

00:06:50.840 are so tuned to stories

00:06:53.020 from movies and books

00:06:54.360 and all the fiction

00:06:55.680 that we consume,

00:06:56.480 that we kind of guide ourselves

00:06:59.680 subconsciously

00:07:00.680 toward the best story.

00:07:02.340 So maybe even the players

00:07:03.680 on the field

00:07:04.380 with Tom Brady,

00:07:05.900 even the other team,

00:07:07.980 knew that the best story

00:07:09.140 was them losing.

00:07:10.900 Right?

00:07:11.400 So it could be

00:07:12.120 that we're just too biased

00:07:13.340 toward the best story

00:07:14.440 that we make it happen

00:07:16.080 without even knowing

00:07:17.280 that we're consciously

00:07:18.140 making any choices.

00:07:19.820 Maybe.

00:07:20.760 Or it's just a coincidental thing

00:07:23.960 that I think I'm noticing

00:07:25.460 but I'm not.

00:07:26.260 That's possible.

00:07:28.160 Here's a little mental exercise

00:07:32.920 for you.

00:07:34.460 And this is a good mental exercise

00:07:36.200 for every situation.

00:07:38.140 I'll give you a specific one here.

00:07:40.220 But in general,

00:07:41.240 it's good to do this.

00:07:42.940 And I talk about this

00:07:43.960 in Loser Think a little bit

00:07:45.220 in my book.

00:07:47.100 Sometimes,

00:07:48.100 take a situation

00:07:49.220 that you're very familiar with

00:07:50.620 and you have an opinion on

00:07:51.900 and just say to yourself,

00:07:53.820 what if I'm totally wrong?

00:07:56.260 What if I've got

00:07:57.240 the wrong filter on this?

00:07:59.040 What if I'm just looking

00:08:00.100 at it upside down?

00:08:01.760 What if I've got

00:08:02.740 cause and effect backwards?

00:08:05.720 And that doesn't mean

00:08:06.700 that you're wrong.

00:08:07.700 It just means

00:08:08.180 that it's a good exercise

00:08:09.400 to every now and then say,

00:08:11.880 what if everything

00:08:12.640 is just exactly backwards

00:08:14.480 of the way I think it is?

00:08:17.240 I do that all the time.

00:08:18.800 I take anything

00:08:19.580 that I'm sure is true

00:08:20.800 and I just say,

00:08:22.460 but what if it's backwards?

00:08:24.580 Would it still work?

00:08:26.420 Like,

00:08:26.680 would all the evidence

00:08:28.340 that I'm looking at

00:08:29.440 still apply

00:08:31.080 and still be

00:08:32.260 perfectly compatible

00:08:33.280 if you took

00:08:34.380 what you thought

00:08:34.920 to be true

00:08:35.420 and literally reversed it?

00:08:38.400 And sometimes,

00:08:39.160 you surprise yourself.

00:08:40.640 You say,

00:08:41.240 uh-oh,

00:08:42.740 I just found out

00:08:43.780 that all the facts

00:08:44.700 I'm looking at

00:08:45.500 work both ways.

00:08:47.960 It's scary

00:08:48.780 when it happens

00:08:49.560 and you realize

00:08:50.200 how fragile

00:08:51.520 your mental process is.

00:08:53.240 I'm going to do that

00:08:53.820 for you right now.

00:08:55.160 I'm not going to try

00:08:56.060 to change your mind.

00:08:58.100 Okay?

00:08:59.640 I don't want you

00:09:00.560 to change your mind

00:09:01.460 on the topic

00:09:02.280 that I'm going to bring up.

00:09:03.500 I'm only going to show you

00:09:04.560 an exercise

00:09:05.200 where you can reverse

00:09:07.000 the truth

00:09:07.740 and it won't be crazy.

00:09:10.660 That's all I'm going for.

00:09:12.060 Okay?

00:09:12.660 Just the process.

00:09:14.120 Don't change your mind

00:09:15.120 on anything.

00:09:15.620 When we look

00:09:18.400 at the issue of

00:09:19.580 don't sign off yet.

00:09:22.240 I know you're going

00:09:22.740 to turn off

00:09:23.200 this live stream

00:09:23.880 as soon as you hear

00:09:24.420 this topic

00:09:24.960 because everybody

00:09:25.500 always does.

00:09:27.100 Transgenders in sports.

00:09:28.180 Stay with me.

00:09:28.780 Stay with me.

00:09:29.840 Just for a little while.

00:09:31.740 It's worth it.

00:09:33.120 Just stay.

00:09:34.300 Stay.

00:09:35.320 Okay.

00:09:37.520 You know

00:09:38.260 that I am

00:09:39.060 one of the leading

00:09:39.940 voices,

00:09:41.000 at least in terms

00:09:41.780 of being vocal

00:09:42.500 and public about it,

00:09:43.460 for saying

00:09:44.720 that transgenders

00:09:45.580 should have

00:09:46.000 every right

00:09:46.560 to play sports,

00:09:48.340 et cetera.

00:09:49.600 But what is

00:09:50.880 the common way

00:09:51.840 to look at this?

00:09:52.640 The common way

00:09:53.440 that conservatives

00:09:54.320 look at it

00:09:55.040 is this.

00:09:55.960 This is not

00:09:56.580 my opinion.

00:09:58.040 I'm describing

00:09:58.740 other people's opinion.

00:10:00.940 That sports is good

00:10:02.180 and there's something

00:10:03.880 wrong with the

00:10:04.600 transgender athlete.

00:10:06.900 That they're

00:10:07.400 broken in some way.

00:10:09.720 Or they're morally

00:10:10.920 or ethically deficient

00:10:12.940 because they would

00:10:13.960 want to play

00:10:14.680 on a team

00:10:17.020 in which they

00:10:17.560 would dominate

00:10:18.100 because they were

00:10:18.900 born with some

00:10:19.720 biological male

00:10:20.720 qualities that

00:10:22.140 they've been

00:10:22.960 transferring out of.

00:10:25.760 That's what you

00:10:26.500 think, right?

00:10:27.240 Wouldn't you say

00:10:27.840 that the most

00:10:28.500 common opinion

00:10:29.360 from the conservative

00:10:30.360 side of the world,

00:10:31.800 again,

00:10:32.300 not my opinion,

00:10:33.820 but a common one,

00:10:34.800 is that sports are good

00:10:35.860 just the way they are

00:10:37.140 and there's

00:10:39.020 something wrong

00:10:39.380 with the athlete

00:10:40.120 in this case.

00:10:42.240 Now, I'm just

00:10:42.940 going to ask you

00:10:43.420 this question.

00:10:45.940 What happens

00:10:46.760 if you reverse it

00:10:47.800 and you say

00:10:49.260 that sports

00:10:50.040 are broken

00:10:50.880 but all the

00:10:52.620 athletes are fine?

00:10:54.560 What if you

00:10:55.220 just say,

00:10:56.120 how about the world

00:10:57.160 is full of all

00:10:57.880 kinds of different

00:10:58.500 people?

00:10:59.920 There are short

00:11:00.580 people,

00:11:01.220 tall people,

00:11:02.100 people who have

00:11:02.580 skills,

00:11:03.240 people who are

00:11:03.560 strong,

00:11:04.120 people who are

00:11:04.460 weak,

00:11:05.320 people who have

00:11:05.800 different gender,

00:11:07.440 sex traits,

00:11:09.340 infinite different

00:11:10.200 people.

00:11:11.780 Can people really

00:11:13.180 be broken?

00:11:14.780 Is it really

00:11:15.400 the people

00:11:16.060 who are defective

00:11:16.980 here?

00:11:17.640 Because people

00:11:18.320 come in all kinds.

00:11:20.140 It's hard to say

00:11:20.860 that any one of them

00:11:21.580 is wrong

00:11:22.320 when it's an

00:11:23.460 infinite variety

00:11:24.480 and none of them

00:11:25.160 are exactly the same.

00:11:27.240 Why don't we say

00:11:28.180 the sports are broken?

00:11:29.680 And here's

00:11:30.040 specifically what I mean.

00:11:32.020 The best kind

00:11:33.060 of sports

00:11:33.680 would be where

00:11:34.520 you're playing

00:11:34.980 with somebody

00:11:35.540 who is roughly

00:11:36.680 equal in ability.

00:11:38.900 Isn't that the

00:11:39.500 whole problem

00:11:40.140 with having a

00:11:40.880 transgender athlete

00:11:42.080 playing on a

00:11:43.380 women's traditional

00:11:44.480 team?

00:11:45.300 The whole problem

00:11:46.540 is that you have

00:11:47.660 a mismatch of

00:11:48.460 talent and even

00:11:50.060 physicality,

00:11:50.920 right?

00:11:51.520 So the problem

00:11:52.580 is not that the

00:11:53.260 athlete is broken.

00:11:54.880 There's nothing

00:11:55.320 wrong with the

00:11:55.780 athlete who wants

00:11:56.520 to just play

00:11:57.080 some sports.

00:11:58.280 What's wrong

00:11:58.940 is that the

00:11:59.560 sport doesn't

00:12:01.020 allow people

00:12:01.720 of equal ability

00:12:03.000 to play against

00:12:03.700 each other.

00:12:04.160 You want

00:12:05.020 another example?

00:12:06.780 I'm male.

00:12:08.920 So according

00:12:09.740 to the rules

00:12:10.380 of sports,

00:12:11.200 the way they

00:12:11.780 exist,

00:12:12.600 I could play

00:12:13.280 on a men's

00:12:14.340 basketball team

00:12:15.440 if I were,

00:12:16.580 let's say,

00:12:16.920 in college

00:12:17.300 or high school.

00:12:18.800 But could I?

00:12:20.520 Could I play

00:12:21.260 on a men's

00:12:21.800 basketball team?

00:12:22.760 I'm five foot

00:12:23.540 eight.

00:12:24.620 No.

00:12:25.840 No, I can't.

00:12:27.300 There should be

00:12:28.220 a sport for me

00:12:29.420 in which I can

00:12:30.720 play basketball

00:12:31.580 against people

00:12:32.340 who are roughly

00:12:32.940 the same height.

00:12:34.660 That would be

00:12:35.480 a good sport.

00:12:36.680 What is the

00:12:37.380 point of putting

00:12:37.960 me in a game

00:12:38.980 in which I'm

00:12:39.480 playing with

00:12:39.920 people who are

00:12:40.400 seven feet tall?

00:12:41.760 There's no point

00:12:42.660 in that.

00:12:43.580 The sport is

00:12:44.460 broken.

00:12:45.420 It's not me.

00:12:46.900 I'm not defective

00:12:48.240 because I'm

00:12:48.660 five foot eight.

00:12:49.800 I'm kind of in

00:12:50.720 the normal range

00:12:51.600 of human beings.

00:12:52.800 There are people

00:12:53.300 smaller than me,

00:12:54.360 people bigger

00:12:54.880 than me.

00:12:55.820 It's completely

00:12:56.800 normal to not

00:12:57.900 be normal.

00:12:58.500 normal, right?

00:12:59.820 We're all not

00:13:00.640 normal in some

00:13:01.440 way.

00:13:02.320 Fix the sport.

00:13:04.080 Why in the

00:13:05.060 world do you

00:13:06.860 ever put people

00:13:07.920 of wildly

00:13:08.800 different abilities

00:13:09.640 on the same

00:13:10.280 team?

00:13:11.020 Does it matter

00:13:11.980 what the gender

00:13:13.260 is?

00:13:14.420 It shouldn't.

00:13:16.180 I've told this

00:13:17.100 story before.

00:13:17.820 I played co-ed

00:13:18.680 soccer years ago

00:13:19.640 and one of the

00:13:20.940 women who played

00:13:21.820 co-ed soccer

00:13:22.580 on our team

00:13:23.400 was really

00:13:25.420 good.

00:13:26.220 So as a

00:13:27.000 female player,

00:13:27.660 she was extra

00:13:28.680 good at soccer

00:13:29.400 which made her

00:13:30.580 better at soccer

00:13:31.420 than maybe a

00:13:33.260 quarter of the

00:13:34.000 men that were

00:13:34.620 on the field.

00:13:35.980 Now the other

00:13:36.660 men were also

00:13:37.280 good at soccer

00:13:37.940 and they were

00:13:38.560 physically stronger

00:13:39.980 so they had

00:13:40.780 some advantages

00:13:41.320 but she was

00:13:41.900 probably better

00:13:42.420 than a good

00:13:42.940 25% of the

00:13:44.540 men who were

00:13:45.000 playing.

00:13:46.320 Should she

00:13:46.780 have to play

00:13:47.640 with only female

00:13:48.780 athletes if she

00:13:50.340 would prefer to

00:13:51.040 play with

00:13:51.400 stronger players?

00:13:52.840 And the answer

00:13:53.200 is no.

00:13:54.240 She was perfectly

00:13:55.100 happy playing

00:13:55.960 co-ed soccer

00:13:56.720 with people

00:13:57.780 who were

00:13:58.060 physically

00:13:58.460 bigger than

00:13:58.980 her.

00:13:59.640 Now it

00:14:00.380 didn't work

00:14:00.860 out well

00:14:01.240 for her.

00:14:03.160 It turns out

00:14:04.060 I broke

00:14:04.740 her nose.

00:14:05.920 But if she

00:14:06.940 had not been

00:14:07.520 on a team

00:14:08.160 with larger

00:14:08.940 men, maybe

00:14:09.740 her nose

00:14:10.400 would not

00:14:10.740 have been

00:14:11.000 broken.

00:14:12.520 I didn't do

00:14:13.280 it intentionally

00:14:13.980 by the way.

00:14:15.580 I just

00:14:16.260 cleared a

00:14:16.780 ball fairly

00:14:18.100 aggressively.

00:14:19.020 Her face

00:14:19.460 was in the

00:14:19.880 way.

00:14:20.580 A lot of

00:14:21.040 blood happened.

00:14:21.760 But did

00:14:23.900 she quit

00:14:24.360 playing soccer?

00:14:25.640 She did,

00:14:26.220 of course,

00:14:26.620 because her

00:14:26.940 face was

00:14:27.320 broken.

00:14:28.100 But she

00:14:29.300 had the

00:14:29.620 right to

00:14:29.940 play, and

00:14:30.700 she was

00:14:30.980 with people

00:14:31.500 of equal

00:14:32.040 talent, and

00:14:32.780 it's where

00:14:33.040 she wanted

00:14:33.440 to be.

00:14:34.440 The sports

00:14:35.000 were broken,

00:14:36.020 not her, and

00:14:37.280 not me.

00:14:38.600 So that is my

00:14:39.360 point.

00:14:40.220 Sports are

00:14:40.760 broken.

00:14:41.420 Why do you

00:14:41.940 have men's

00:14:42.540 teams and

00:14:42.980 women's teams

00:14:43.640 instead of

00:14:44.220 just teams?

00:14:45.420 Why can't

00:14:46.040 people just

00:14:46.540 play on the

00:14:47.120 team that's

00:14:47.920 matched to

00:14:50.900 their ability?

00:14:52.200 Why do

00:14:53.000 sports have

00:14:53.580 to be part

00:14:54.080 of a high

00:14:55.000 school and

00:14:55.600 college?

00:14:56.620 It's ridiculous.

00:14:57.940 The way high

00:14:58.400 school sports

00:14:59.120 are designed

00:14:59.820 is to make

00:15:00.780 stars out of

00:15:01.640 a few people

00:15:02.300 and to make

00:15:03.160 everybody else

00:15:03.820 feel like a

00:15:04.380 loser.

00:15:05.560 Sorry.

00:15:06.500 That's the way

00:15:07.140 they're designed.

00:15:08.420 Sports make

00:15:09.180 most people

00:15:10.040 losers, and

00:15:11.360 they make

00:15:11.780 stars out of

00:15:12.620 a few people

00:15:13.240 who were born

00:15:13.760 with some

00:15:14.240 lucky combination

00:15:15.660 of things that

00:15:16.380 made them

00:15:16.740 athletically gifted.

00:15:18.320 And why do

00:15:18.760 we praise people

00:15:19.520 who were born

00:15:20.180 athletically gifted?

00:15:22.040 I don't know.

00:15:23.140 I don't see a

00:15:23.760 good reason.

00:15:24.840 I'd rather see

00:15:25.540 somebody who

00:15:26.120 wasn't born

00:15:26.760 athletically gifted

00:15:27.760 do a good,

00:15:28.740 you know,

00:15:29.120 try hard and

00:15:30.060 do good work

00:15:30.920 for what they've

00:15:31.600 got.

00:15:34.120 All right.

00:15:34.940 So fix sports

00:15:35.940 so that everybody

00:15:37.160 can play in the

00:15:38.400 team that is

00:15:39.100 roughly their

00:15:40.100 ability.

00:15:41.080 And while you're

00:15:41.700 at it, why don't

00:15:42.400 you fix the rest

00:15:43.180 of sports which

00:15:44.020 are broken?

00:15:45.020 I'll give you

00:15:45.500 some more examples.

00:15:47.740 Golf is mostly

00:15:48.900 about looking for

00:15:49.800 your ball.

00:15:51.360 That's a stupid

00:15:52.360 sport.

00:15:54.060 Golf should make

00:15:54.980 all of the clubs

00:15:56.280 the same length,

00:15:58.280 number one.

00:15:59.960 Having clubs of

00:16:01.160 different lengths

00:16:01.800 is just stupid.

00:16:03.220 I mean, it's just

00:16:03.700 making it extra

00:16:04.620 hard for no reason.

00:16:06.380 Make the balls

00:16:07.080 easier to find

00:16:08.040 or allow you to

00:16:09.140 just put your

00:16:09.860 ball down wherever

00:16:10.620 is the last place

00:16:11.380 you saw it.

00:16:11.960 It'd be better.

00:16:13.460 How about tennis?

00:16:16.540 Tennis used to be

00:16:17.460 fun.

00:16:18.260 It used to be

00:16:18.660 my favorite sport

00:16:19.500 and I would

00:16:20.680 play with people

00:16:21.260 roughly my ability

00:16:22.260 and so it was

00:16:22.840 a lot of fun.

00:16:23.780 But then the

00:16:24.360 equipment got so

00:16:25.980 good, the actual

00:16:27.340 tennis racket,

00:16:28.620 that even an

00:16:29.680 average player

00:16:30.960 can hit a serve

00:16:32.080 so hard that a

00:16:34.160 good player can't

00:16:34.940 return it.

00:16:36.340 So tennis is a

00:16:38.000 completely ruined

00:16:38.960 sport because the

00:16:40.160 equipment got so

00:16:41.040 good that the

00:16:42.240 whole serving part

00:16:43.200 of it, which is so

00:16:43.920 big a part of the

00:16:44.980 sport, is not fun.

00:16:46.800 It's not even

00:16:47.420 close to fun.

00:16:48.300 It's just the

00:16:48.720 ball goes past you

00:16:50.500 or maybe you hit it

00:16:51.480 but it's just luck.

00:16:53.120 So tennis is a

00:16:54.300 completely ruined

00:16:55.380 sport because when

00:16:56.640 the equipment got

00:16:57.540 good it just became

00:16:58.700 not fun to play

00:16:59.860 anymore.

00:17:00.800 That's why I don't

00:17:01.360 play anymore.

00:17:02.380 So all of sports

00:17:03.100 are broken.

00:17:03.880 Stop thinking that

00:17:04.880 the athletes are

00:17:05.660 broken.

00:17:06.480 There's nothing

00:17:07.000 wrong with

00:17:07.520 transgender athletes.

00:17:09.120 There's nothing

00:17:09.540 wrong with any

00:17:10.340 athletes.

00:17:11.440 People are just

00:17:12.040 different.

00:17:13.340 Give everybody a

00:17:15.180 way to play

00:17:15.720 sports.

00:17:17.020 And the whole

00:17:17.700 idea that women

00:17:18.500 need to have

00:17:19.280 trophies, aren't

00:17:21.880 we over that?

00:17:23.440 I don't know why

00:17:24.260 anybody needs a

00:17:25.000 sports trophy unless

00:17:25.960 they're a professional.

00:17:27.260 If you're a

00:17:27.740 professional then

00:17:28.440 yeah, I can see

00:17:29.640 having things

00:17:31.140 arranged differently

00:17:31.820 because it's for

00:17:33.060 spectating.

00:17:35.160 But for school

00:17:36.600 sports, get rid of

00:17:39.040 sports in schools.

00:17:40.620 Now those of you

00:17:41.380 who are resisting,

00:17:42.600 it's because your

00:17:43.300 kids do well in

00:17:44.280 sports.

00:17:45.540 If I had kids who

00:17:47.300 did really well in

00:17:48.120 sports, I would

00:17:49.640 definitely want

00:17:50.900 sports in schools.

00:17:52.980 But most kids are

00:17:54.600 not good in sports.

00:17:56.520 So what's good for

00:17:57.920 your kids might not

00:17:58.720 be good for other

00:17:59.260 people.

00:17:59.720 All right.

00:18:00.580 Apparently two

00:18:01.340 thirds of voters or

00:18:03.360 citizens, I don't

00:18:04.300 know, maybe it's

00:18:04.880 voters, like Biden's

00:18:06.880 COVID plans.

00:18:07.920 So that includes a

00:18:08.760 third of Republicans

00:18:09.820 say he's doing okay

00:18:11.580 in COVID.

00:18:12.500 I'll give you my

00:18:13.600 opinion.

00:18:13.960 And he's doing

00:18:15.200 okay.

00:18:16.480 I think he's doing

00:18:17.420 okay.

00:18:18.080 If I had to grade

00:18:19.300 Biden for COVID

00:18:20.620 response, pretty

00:18:22.980 good.

00:18:23.820 Now there's still

00:18:25.020 things that he

00:18:26.660 needs to do

00:18:27.300 better.

00:18:28.480 But here's

00:18:29.980 something he did

00:18:30.820 really well.

00:18:31.600 Well, now I know

00:18:34.120 some of you aren't

00:18:35.080 going to like this

00:18:35.880 because I know the

00:18:36.540 nature of my

00:18:37.140 audience, but I need

00:18:39.200 you to get used to

00:18:40.000 this so it doesn't

00:18:41.240 bother you in the

00:18:41.820 future.

00:18:42.460 When Biden does

00:18:43.600 something right, I'm

00:18:45.460 going to call it

00:18:46.100 out.

00:18:47.020 All right.

00:18:47.280 I'm not about just

00:18:48.560 criticizing him for

00:18:49.580 things I don't like.

00:18:51.240 So I'm going to do

00:18:52.060 the same treatment

00:18:52.840 that I gave Trump,

00:18:55.000 but I'll do it for

00:18:55.780 Biden.

00:18:56.460 And he's about to do

00:18:58.020 something that's really,

00:18:59.900 really smart if he

00:19:01.680 pulls it off.

00:19:02.840 And that is this.

00:19:03.980 As you know,

00:19:04.840 teachers'

00:19:05.780 unions are the

00:19:06.460 biggest threat to

00:19:07.340 this country.

00:19:09.320 But the federal

00:19:10.260 government doesn't

00:19:11.260 want to exert, you

00:19:12.840 know, direct control

00:19:13.980 over unions because

00:19:15.220 that's politically bad

00:19:16.960 as well as, you

00:19:18.960 know, the country

00:19:19.420 isn't ready for that.

00:19:20.520 You don't want your

00:19:21.280 federal government to

00:19:22.840 put a boot on a

00:19:23.800 union.

00:19:24.640 It's just not a good

00:19:25.740 look.

00:19:26.800 But the school unions

00:19:28.700 are the biggest problem

00:19:29.720 in the country because

00:19:30.960 they're keeping the

00:19:31.860 teachers out of

00:19:32.900 schools, which keeps

00:19:33.860 the schools closed.

00:19:36.980 So Biden is in favor

00:19:38.500 of reopening the

00:19:39.940 schools as soon as you

00:19:40.880 can do that safely.

00:19:42.360 I think that's exactly

00:19:43.520 what President

00:19:44.300 Trump's opinion was,

00:19:45.600 probably exactly what

00:19:46.880 most of your opinions

00:19:47.780 are.

00:19:48.260 So we can say,

00:19:49.760 okay, good so far.

00:19:51.200 The Biden is pro

00:19:52.240 opening schools soon

00:19:54.200 and safely.

00:19:56.600 But he can't get it

00:19:57.700 done.

00:19:59.100 So what do you do?

00:20:01.080 Well, what Biden is

00:20:02.140 doing is he said,

00:20:03.180 at least in his

00:20:03.920 interview on CBS,

00:20:04.980 he said that by

00:20:05.880 Wednesday-ish, the

00:20:07.880 CDC will have a,

00:20:09.540 here's the fun part,

00:20:11.120 science-based

00:20:12.360 recommendations

00:20:13.220 about how to

00:20:14.320 open schools.

00:20:16.120 So they'll,

00:20:16.880 presumably it'll say

00:20:17.820 if you take the

00:20:18.500 following precautions,

00:20:20.240 science says it's

00:20:21.380 safe enough to

00:20:22.480 open up schools.

00:20:23.960 So what happens

00:20:25.300 when science,

00:20:27.640 which Democrats

00:20:28.580 love, I hear,

00:20:30.400 they love their

00:20:31.320 science.

00:20:32.940 Everybody loves

00:20:33.800 science, so it's

00:20:34.680 dumb to imagine

00:20:35.520 there's somebody who

00:20:36.240 is anti-science,

00:20:37.140 but that's what

00:20:37.900 they say about,

00:20:38.560 that's what they

00:20:39.900 say about

00:20:40.560 Republicans.

00:20:43.720 So Biden is

00:20:44.800 setting up a

00:20:45.380 situation in which

00:20:46.220 his CDC will

00:20:47.960 say scientifically

00:20:48.920 it's okay to

00:20:49.760 open up schools

00:20:50.540 under these

00:20:51.560 conditions which

00:20:52.380 most could meet.

00:20:54.520 What happens

00:20:55.340 then when the

00:20:56.360 teachers' unions

00:20:57.040 say no?

00:20:58.840 Well, that will

00:20:59.660 put the teachers'

00:21:00.520 unions in a

00:21:01.200 public disagreement

00:21:02.800 with, wait for it,

00:21:04.780 science.

00:21:08.960 That's pretty

00:21:09.680 good.

00:21:11.260 That's pretty

00:21:11.960 good.

00:21:12.500 Because Biden is

00:21:13.560 a little bit

00:21:13.960 handcuffed.

00:21:14.600 His own party is

00:21:15.480 so close to the

00:21:16.260 unions, he can't

00:21:17.600 stomp on a union,

00:21:18.680 but he needs to.

00:21:20.160 If you ask Biden

00:21:21.120 privately, would

00:21:22.460 you like to stomp

00:21:23.500 on these unions

00:21:24.280 and make them just

00:21:25.820 agree to open up

00:21:26.820 the schools with

00:21:27.560 you safely?

00:21:29.300 I'm pretty sure

00:21:30.300 he'd say yes,

00:21:31.220 if I could.

00:21:32.380 If I had a way

00:21:33.440 to stomp on them,

00:21:34.300 I would.

00:21:35.380 Because it needs

00:21:35.980 to be done.

00:21:37.120 I believe he would

00:21:37.920 agree with that

00:21:38.540 statement.

00:21:39.060 He would agree

00:21:39.500 with most

00:21:40.980 Republicans on

00:21:41.840 that, and most

00:21:42.400 people, most

00:21:43.480 parents for sure.

00:21:45.980 But he may have

00:21:47.020 found a work

00:21:47.660 around.

00:21:49.000 He may have

00:21:49.700 found a work

00:21:50.320 around.

00:21:50.860 We don't know

00:21:51.420 yet, but setting

00:21:52.780 up this public

00:21:53.660 battle between

00:21:55.140 science, as it

00:21:56.680 will be presented

00:21:57.380 by the CDC, and

00:21:59.400 the schools that

00:22:00.520 are supposed to

00:22:01.440 teach science as

00:22:04.420 represented by the

00:22:05.620 teachers' unions,

00:22:06.880 right?

00:22:08.360 Isn't that

00:22:08.880 interesting?

00:22:10.120 That is really,

00:22:11.500 really good.

00:22:13.140 If he does this

00:22:14.660 right, and so far

00:22:16.860 he's setting it up

00:22:17.740 just right, that the

00:22:19.960 news that's friendly

00:22:21.520 to Biden, the news

00:22:22.720 that propagandizes

00:22:24.520 and brainwashes the

00:22:26.820 public, what is the

00:22:28.340 news going to do

00:22:29.340 when Biden sets

00:22:30.800 up, teaches

00:22:31.960 unions are

00:22:32.760 anti-science, what's

00:22:35.500 the news going to

00:22:36.600 do?

00:22:38.160 It's pretty good.

00:22:39.820 I think the news is

00:22:40.960 going to have to

00:22:41.400 back science, aren't

00:22:43.260 they?

00:22:44.260 How does CNN go

00:22:45.880 against science when

00:22:47.820 it's Biden's science?

00:22:49.420 They can't.

00:22:50.680 I think he's created

00:22:51.960 a situation in which

00:22:53.380 he can use the

00:22:54.800 public as a

00:22:56.000 hammer, and also

00:22:57.860 use the news

00:22:58.560 networks as a

00:22:59.320 hammer against the

00:23:00.080 teachers' unions.

00:23:01.420 And I don't know

00:23:02.320 that there was a

00:23:02.900 better play than

00:23:03.560 that.

00:23:04.740 It's actually really

00:23:05.940 good.

00:23:06.800 So if I'm going to

00:23:07.480 be honest, and

00:23:08.640 we're dealing with

00:23:09.700 technique and

00:23:10.520 persuasion, not

00:23:11.320 politics per se,

00:23:12.800 just technique and

00:23:14.180 persuasion, this is

00:23:15.760 pretty good.

00:23:17.080 Now we've got to

00:23:17.800 see if he can take

00:23:18.780 it home, right?

00:23:19.900 It's not good

00:23:20.700 enough that he just

00:23:21.360 puts it out there

00:23:22.000 and then nothing

00:23:22.500 happens.

00:23:23.500 He's going to have

00:23:24.300 to sit on this

00:23:25.840 scientific

00:23:26.820 recommendation,

00:23:27.860 and he's going

00:23:28.620 to have to

00:23:28.920 pound it.

00:23:30.520 But he could.

00:23:31.760 He could do

00:23:32.520 that.

00:23:33.520 I'm not going to

00:23:34.240 rule him out.

00:23:34.880 I'm not going to

00:23:35.360 say he can't.

00:23:36.080 I'm not going to

00:23:36.520 say he won't until

00:23:37.880 he tries.

00:23:39.220 But if he lets

00:23:40.120 this go and the

00:23:42.220 teacher unions just

00:23:43.460 prevail after he's

00:23:44.700 set it up that

00:23:45.260 science says this

00:23:46.720 and they say that,

00:23:48.000 well, that would

00:23:48.500 be a pretty big

00:23:49.200 failure, I think.

00:23:50.620 I think once he's

00:23:51.600 set it up that

00:23:52.320 science is on the

00:23:53.480 opposite side from

00:23:54.380 the teachers'

00:23:54.860 unions, he has to

00:23:56.620 finish them.

00:23:57.860 He can't wound the

00:24:00.620 teachers' unions.

00:24:01.920 He has to finish

00:24:02.900 them off, at least

00:24:04.040 on this topic, not

00:24:05.120 completely.

00:24:06.680 So we'll see if

00:24:07.580 he's got the guts to

00:24:10.180 do that.

00:24:11.180 He might.

00:24:11.980 We'll see.

00:24:12.760 And if he does, I

00:24:13.560 will praise him for

00:24:14.560 it.

00:24:14.780 So the news is

00:24:18.780 saying, this is

00:24:19.700 also something CBS

00:24:20.640 said, Nora O'Donnell,

00:24:22.860 said that at the

00:24:23.700 current rate of

00:24:24.860 vaccinations, it

00:24:26.200 would take like a

00:24:28.220 year to get 75% of

00:24:30.080 people vaccinated,

00:24:31.160 which might be what

00:24:32.400 you need to stop the

00:24:33.660 virus.

00:24:34.620 Do you think that

00:24:35.680 that tells you

00:24:36.460 something?

00:24:36.920 What should you

00:24:38.600 think when somebody

00:24:40.520 says at the current

00:24:41.660 rate it will take a

00:24:43.420 year?

00:24:44.480 How should you

00:24:45.060 translate that in

00:24:45.860 your mind?

00:24:46.680 Should you translate

00:24:47.480 it into your mind as

00:24:48.640 it's going to take a

00:24:49.520 year?

00:24:51.040 You shouldn't.

00:24:52.640 Because what you

00:24:53.400 should translate in

00:24:54.180 your mind is that

00:24:55.060 there's a learning

00:24:55.820 curve here, and it's

00:24:56.880 a pretty big one.

00:24:57.980 Meaning that on day

00:24:59.120 one, you expect

00:24:59.940 everything to go

00:25:00.700 poorly because they've

00:25:01.580 never done this

00:25:02.200 before.

00:25:03.180 On day two, they're

00:25:04.320 fixing the problems

00:25:05.140 they saw on day

00:25:05.840 one.

00:25:06.920 On day three, they're

00:25:07.880 fixing the problems

00:25:08.560 they saw on day

00:25:09.160 two.

00:25:09.420 So by the time

00:25:10.860 you get, let's

00:25:12.320 say, six months

00:25:13.600 into this, your

00:25:15.240 learning curve should

00:25:16.520 have gone through

00:25:17.020 the roof.

00:25:18.360 And we're seeing

00:25:19.240 now that Biden has

00:25:21.240 been offered by, I

00:25:22.360 guess the NFL

00:25:22.960 offered, all of

00:25:24.540 their stadiums.

00:25:26.300 Every football

00:25:27.320 stadium has been

00:25:28.240 offered as a mass

00:25:30.440 vaccination place.

00:25:32.160 Where did that

00:25:32.680 come from?

00:25:33.320 That just came out

00:25:34.140 of nowhere, right?

00:25:34.980 And it's because we

00:25:35.820 needed it.

00:25:36.280 So this is similar

00:25:38.080 to the year 2000

00:25:40.620 bug when all the

00:25:42.260 experts were saying

00:25:43.120 at our current

00:25:44.000 rate, there's no

00:25:45.620 way we'll be able

00:25:46.260 to reprogram the

00:25:47.140 computers, they'll

00:25:47.900 crash, and society

00:25:49.040 will be damaged by a

00:25:50.840 lack of computing

00:25:51.700 for a while.

00:25:52.940 But I said, no, you

00:25:55.160 got it all wrong.

00:25:55.920 The learning curve

00:25:56.860 suggests that the

00:25:58.720 last few months

00:25:59.760 before the actual

00:26:00.720 year 2000, our

00:26:02.500 ability to reprogram

00:26:04.100 things will be way

00:26:05.000 better than you

00:26:06.240 could even imagine

00:26:07.020 back even just a

00:26:07.980 few months ago.

00:26:09.220 And what happened?

00:26:10.360 Exactly that happened.

00:26:11.780 A few months before

00:26:12.900 the year 2000 bug

00:26:14.320 would have been a

00:26:14.880 giant problem,

00:26:16.340 private industry

00:26:17.200 figured out how to

00:26:18.520 rapidly reprogram it.

00:26:20.660 So they learned to

00:26:21.500 do something quickly

00:26:22.340 toward the end,

00:26:23.620 which is the way you

00:26:24.460 would normally expect

00:26:25.400 these things to go.

00:26:26.640 So here's my

00:26:27.360 prediction.

00:26:27.840 If they say that it

00:26:28.840 would take a year

00:26:29.700 at current rates,

00:26:32.600 you could probably cut

00:26:33.960 that in half.

00:26:35.780 You could probably

00:26:36.620 cut it in half

00:26:37.460 because we're

00:26:38.700 probably a month

00:26:39.760 away from really,

00:26:41.900 really knowing what

00:26:42.780 we're doing wrong

00:26:43.600 and fixing it.

00:26:45.080 And then the rate

00:26:45.820 of vaccination

00:26:46.800 should just start

00:26:47.840 going straight up.

00:26:49.560 That would be the

00:26:50.260 normal thing to

00:26:50.920 expect in a normal

00:26:52.060 process of this type

00:26:53.320 where everyone wants

00:26:54.760 the outcome and

00:26:56.020 we're all working

00:26:56.580 toward it.

00:26:57.200 We just have to get

00:26:59.460 rid of the wrinkles.

00:27:00.080 And it looks like

00:27:01.960 that's happening.

00:27:04.320 All right.

00:27:06.740 Do you own

00:27:07.540 Bitcoin?

00:27:08.740 How many of you

00:27:09.680 own Bitcoin?

00:27:12.200 Because there's some

00:27:13.300 news about Bitcoin.

00:27:15.700 Elon Musk, who

00:27:17.120 continues to be the

00:27:18.160 most interesting

00:27:18.820 person on the

00:27:19.560 planet, has said

00:27:21.900 that Tesla will

00:27:23.000 start accepting

00:27:23.860 Bitcoin as payment

00:27:25.640 for Tesla products.

00:27:28.280 Now, how important

00:27:31.420 is that?

00:27:33.500 It's really important

00:27:34.820 because Elon Musk

00:27:37.480 is a big enough

00:27:38.620 player that he

00:27:40.480 can make the

00:27:41.120 currency have a

00:27:42.180 value that it

00:27:42.900 didn't have before.

00:27:46.120 Basically, he just

00:27:47.180 made it a

00:27:48.020 legitimate currency.

00:27:49.260 He has the power

00:27:50.140 of a government

00:27:51.020 because it's a

00:27:53.080 government that

00:27:53.640 makes a currency

00:27:54.320 a currency.

00:27:55.440 The government

00:27:56.220 says you can

00:27:57.180 always pay us

00:27:57.820 in dollars for

00:27:59.420 your taxes.

00:28:00.760 So as long as

00:28:01.640 the government

00:28:02.080 will always take

00:28:02.880 your dollars,

00:28:04.140 your dollar always

00:28:04.820 has a value because

00:28:05.740 you always have to

00:28:06.280 pay your taxes.

00:28:07.600 They'll take your

00:28:08.300 dollar.

00:28:08.760 That dollar will

00:28:09.340 always have a

00:28:09.960 value.

00:28:11.780 But Bitcoin was

00:28:13.180 not something that

00:28:13.980 anybody had to

00:28:14.860 take.

00:28:15.500 The government

00:28:16.080 didn't take it in

00:28:17.140 terms of taxes.

00:28:18.680 And there weren't

00:28:19.280 any big companies

00:28:20.200 that would say,

00:28:22.620 we'll only take

00:28:23.820 Bitcoin.

00:28:25.380 And they still

00:28:26.320 are not, as far

00:28:27.000 as I know, but

00:28:28.160 when somebody as

00:28:28.840 big as Musk and

00:28:30.060 a company as

00:28:30.720 big as Tesla

00:28:31.440 says we will

00:28:32.160 take it for our

00:28:32.980 cars, a big

00:28:35.000 ticket item, Elon

00:28:37.220 Musk just made

00:28:38.340 Bitcoin a

00:28:39.280 currency, like a

00:28:40.880 real currency.

00:28:41.960 He just did that

00:28:43.060 with a freaking

00:28:44.180 tweet.

00:28:46.640 The richest or

00:28:48.820 second richest,

00:28:49.780 he'll be richest

00:28:50.420 at some point

00:28:51.040 probably.

00:28:52.280 Yeah, he'll be

00:28:53.060 richest when he

00:28:53.800 owns space.

00:28:54.720 Then he's on his

00:28:55.680 way to be the

00:28:56.200 richest for sure

00:28:57.000 unless Amazon

00:28:59.020 gets there first

00:28:59.920 or Bezos gets

00:29:01.040 there first.

00:29:03.160 So that's a

00:29:05.600 big deal.

00:29:06.320 I don't own

00:29:07.000 any Bitcoin at

00:29:08.000 the moment and

00:29:08.720 I don't make

00:29:09.480 financial

00:29:10.620 recommendations.

00:29:13.160 But I'm

00:29:14.460 definitely going

00:29:14.940 to be looking

00:29:15.960 at Bitcoin a

00:29:16.700 little harder.

00:29:17.420 Now I used to

00:29:17.960 own Bitcoin.

00:29:18.640 I sold it when

00:29:19.340 it was up at

00:29:19.860 one point.

00:29:21.260 So it's not

00:29:22.000 like I haven't

00:29:22.860 made money in

00:29:23.960 Bitcoin.

00:29:24.400 I just don't

00:29:24.740 have any at

00:29:25.320 the moment.

00:29:26.840 But I might

00:29:27.480 change that.

00:29:28.020 We'll see.

00:29:29.320 Meanwhile, Jake

00:29:30.280 Tapper did a

00:29:32.080 did a what

00:29:34.880 would you call

00:29:35.240 a monologue or

00:29:36.020 something about

00:29:36.760 how there's

00:29:38.580 been no real

00:29:39.420 accountability for

00:29:40.360 several prominent

00:29:41.260 GOP leaders after

00:29:42.680 the Capitol

00:29:43.180 riot.

00:29:44.480 Now, I don't

00:29:45.860 know what has

00:29:46.540 happened to

00:29:47.120 Jake Tapper.

00:29:47.660 but I just

00:29:53.020 don't know what's

00:29:53.460 happened to

00:29:53.900 him.

00:29:55.700 He looks like

00:29:56.760 something's

00:29:57.260 happened in his

00:29:57.980 personal life or

00:29:58.920 something because

00:29:59.720 his demeanor on

00:30:04.060 camera when he's

00:30:04.860 talking about the

00:30:05.540 Republicans and

00:30:06.540 the need for

00:30:07.500 accountability, it

00:30:09.380 just feels

00:30:10.000 demented and

00:30:11.340 revengey and

00:30:13.340 broken in some

00:30:15.120 way.

00:30:15.600 He doesn't look

00:30:16.400 like he's calling

00:30:17.140 for justice.

00:30:18.000 He looks like he

00:30:18.560 has a personal

00:30:19.220 mental problem of

00:30:20.240 some sort.

00:30:21.340 Now, I'm not

00:30:21.780 saying he has a

00:30:22.440 mental problem

00:30:23.040 because how would

00:30:23.540 I know what's

00:30:24.640 happening in

00:30:25.140 anybody's head.

00:30:26.020 I'm telling you

00:30:26.540 the way it comes

00:30:27.220 across is not

00:30:29.060 like opinion.

00:30:30.060 It comes across

00:30:30.860 as a mental

00:30:31.440 problem.

00:30:33.200 That's how I

00:30:33.900 read it.

00:30:34.900 Now, again, I'm

00:30:35.780 not saying he has

00:30:36.400 a mental problem.

00:30:37.120 I'm saying that I

00:30:39.260 perceive it that

00:30:40.180 way.

00:30:40.840 That's just the

00:30:41.340 way it looks.

00:30:42.320 It looks like he

00:30:43.060 has some kind of

00:30:43.560 a mental issue or

00:30:44.840 emotional problem.

00:30:46.400 But when he

00:30:48.120 talks about the

00:30:48.920 no real

00:30:49.380 accountability for

00:30:50.280 several prominent

00:30:51.080 leaders, here's

00:30:51.800 what I hear.

00:30:53.020 I hear him

00:30:53.840 looking to

00:30:54.760 punish anybody

00:30:56.760 who had a

00:30:57.320 different opinion

00:30:57.900 on this and

00:30:58.960 extend that.

00:31:00.260 By extension,

00:31:01.700 he didn't say

00:31:02.280 this directly,

00:31:03.080 but by extension,

00:31:04.520 you would think

00:31:05.260 that he would

00:31:05.840 apply this to

00:31:06.800 Trump supporters,

00:31:08.660 including people

00:31:09.460 like me.

00:31:10.320 Now, he didn't

00:31:10.680 say that, so

00:31:11.980 that's not

00:31:12.400 something Jake

00:31:13.680 Tapper says

00:31:14.240 directly, but

00:31:14.980 that's the

00:31:15.520 message I hear.

00:31:17.020 That's what I

00:31:17.720 hear when he

00:31:18.240 talks about it.

00:31:20.860 But here's the

00:31:21.760 interesting part.

00:31:22.840 In order for

00:31:23.640 Jake Tapper to

00:31:24.560 maintain his

00:31:25.480 righteous indignation,

00:31:27.740 he has to

00:31:29.220 assume that this

00:31:30.840 election was

00:31:31.540 fair and free.

00:31:33.960 And that's

00:31:34.840 making you think

00:31:35.800 past the sale.

00:31:37.080 Because to the

00:31:37.680 best of my

00:31:38.160 knowledge, nobody

00:31:39.000 could determine,

00:31:40.800 given the lack

00:31:42.380 of transparency of

00:31:43.700 this election,

00:31:44.820 and probably all

00:31:45.940 of our elections,

00:31:46.860 there is no way

00:31:47.740 to know that it

00:31:49.120 was fair and

00:31:49.760 free.

00:31:50.360 There is only a

00:31:51.280 way to know that

00:31:52.280 it has not been

00:31:52.980 proven in any

00:31:53.780 court that there

00:31:55.200 was widespread

00:31:55.820 fraud.

00:31:56.740 So those things

00:31:57.640 can both be true

00:31:58.460 at the same time.

00:31:59.740 We don't know if

00:32:00.580 it was fair and

00:32:01.240 free, but we do

00:32:02.580 know for sure it

00:32:03.540 hasn't been proven

00:32:04.380 that it was

00:32:04.940 fraudulent in any

00:32:05.900 widespread way in a

00:32:07.480 court.

00:32:08.140 Now, we also know

00:32:09.120 that courts are the

00:32:09.860 wrong tool for

00:32:10.860 doing that, because

00:32:12.400 they reject the

00:32:13.340 cases on different

00:32:14.320 grounds than the

00:32:16.460 fraud.

00:32:18.180 So that's our

00:32:18.860 situation.

00:32:20.120 But for people

00:32:21.160 like Jake Tapper

00:32:21.920 to illegitimately

00:32:23.180 claim that it

00:32:24.680 would be, or at

00:32:25.540 least the

00:32:26.440 implication of

00:32:27.480 making you think

00:32:28.200 past the sale, is

00:32:29.660 that we know for

00:32:30.400 sure that the

00:32:31.060 election was

00:32:31.660 perfectly good.

00:32:34.780 And we don't

00:32:35.460 know that.

00:32:36.800 We only know

00:32:37.500 that there's no

00:32:38.100 proof it was bad.

00:32:39.860 Which is quite

00:32:40.940 different.

00:32:42.620 And when I see

00:32:44.040 him gaslighting

00:32:45.860 the public like

00:32:46.980 this and calling

00:32:48.780 for essentially

00:32:50.180 revenge against

00:32:51.720 a class of

00:32:52.440 citizens, this is

00:32:54.220 the worst fucking

00:32:55.040 thing I've ever

00:32:55.760 seen.

00:32:56.700 Did I warn you

00:32:57.540 that there would

00:32:57.880 be a little extra

00:32:58.540 cursing today?

00:33:00.020 We're getting to

00:33:00.920 the extra cursing

00:33:02.040 portion of the

00:33:02.760 program.

00:33:03.880 So this would be

00:33:04.780 the part where you

00:33:05.520 maybe want to

00:33:07.040 take the kids

00:33:07.580 away.

00:33:07.820 Jake Tapper

00:33:09.880 has turned

00:33:10.460 into a

00:33:11.320 horrible, horrible

00:33:12.340 person.

00:33:13.620 And the way I

00:33:14.480 read this is an

00:33:15.280 attack on part

00:33:16.800 of the public,

00:33:18.540 the viewing

00:33:19.160 public.

00:33:20.320 Now, I am

00:33:21.520 perfectly okay

00:33:22.580 with Democrats

00:33:23.840 mocking Trump

00:33:25.560 supporters for

00:33:26.700 being on the

00:33:27.640 losing side of

00:33:28.380 the election.

00:33:29.560 I mean, the

00:33:29.980 Trump supporters

00:33:30.580 did the same

00:33:31.240 to Hillary's

00:33:32.060 supporters.

00:33:32.820 That's just all

00:33:33.480 part of the

00:33:33.800 process.

00:33:34.220 But Jake

00:33:35.840 Tapper, with

00:33:37.220 all seriousness

00:33:37.980 talking about

00:33:38.860 the real

00:33:39.400 accountability of

00:33:40.600 prominent GOP

00:33:41.560 leaders,

00:33:42.680 accountability for

00:33:43.660 what exactly?

00:33:45.280 Because he's

00:33:46.140 calling this

00:33:46.760 fucking takeover

00:33:49.380 of a Viking

00:33:50.320 horn guy and

00:33:51.280 another guy with

00:33:52.620 some twist

00:33:53.100 ties, occupying

00:33:54.640 some empty

00:33:55.340 rooms in the

00:33:56.220 Capitol building,

00:33:58.000 he's calling

00:33:58.860 that an

00:33:59.460 insurrection or

00:34:00.540 a coup.

00:34:00.960 What do you

00:34:02.260 think the

00:34:02.720 people who

00:34:03.340 did that

00:34:03.920 wanted?

00:34:05.080 Jake Tapper

00:34:05.820 and CNN?

00:34:07.220 What do you

00:34:07.640 think they

00:34:07.980 were asking

00:34:08.600 for?

00:34:09.480 Were any

00:34:09.920 of them

00:34:10.200 asking for

00:34:11.040 an illegitimate

00:34:12.120 government to

00:34:12.980 be installed?

00:34:14.760 No.

00:34:16.220 Every one of

00:34:17.280 those fucking

00:34:17.940 people wanted

00:34:18.780 the Constitution

00:34:19.660 to be followed

00:34:20.820 and the election

00:34:22.100 to be fair.

00:34:23.800 Did any of

00:34:24.580 them say,

00:34:25.960 we would like

00:34:27.080 a different

00:34:28.140 president even

00:34:29.060 though the

00:34:29.440 election, we

00:34:30.200 believe,

00:34:30.600 was fair?

00:34:32.100 No.

00:34:33.020 What were

00:34:33.620 they asking

00:34:34.180 for?

00:34:35.020 A change

00:34:35.880 in who

00:34:36.600 was the

00:34:37.020 president based

00:34:37.940 on non-constitutional

00:34:40.900 methods?

00:34:42.100 No.

00:34:43.160 They were

00:34:44.020 asking for

00:34:44.820 constitutional

00:34:45.720 processes.

00:34:47.220 They were

00:34:47.560 protesting

00:34:48.240 too aggressively.

00:34:49.880 They need to

00:34:50.380 pay for any

00:34:51.360 too aggressive

00:34:52.760 actions.

00:34:53.440 The legal

00:34:53.820 system still

00:34:54.440 has to do

00:34:54.780 what it

00:34:55.020 does.

00:34:56.220 But for

00:34:57.460 people like

00:34:58.020 Jake Tapper

00:34:58.600 to sell this

00:34:59.680 fucking thing

00:35:00.520 as a coup

00:35:01.340 when it

00:35:02.700 wasn't.

00:35:03.780 It was

00:35:04.380 an attempt

00:35:04.940 to make

00:35:05.480 sure a

00:35:06.100 coup had

00:35:06.640 not happened

00:35:07.460 in this

00:35:07.960 country.

00:35:08.860 And people

00:35:09.220 like Jake

00:35:09.740 Tapper are

00:35:10.360 selling the

00:35:10.960 fucking coup,

00:35:12.920 meaning at

00:35:14.600 least the

00:35:15.040 allegation that

00:35:15.880 the election

00:35:16.380 was not

00:35:17.660 appropriate.

00:35:19.860 So branding

00:35:20.540 these

00:35:20.940 Democrats,

00:35:22.380 I'm sorry,

00:35:22.840 branding the

00:35:23.400 GOP leaders

00:35:24.280 who were

00:35:25.200 asking for

00:35:27.120 a little

00:35:27.860 extra time

00:35:28.700 for an

00:35:29.640 audit.

00:35:31.140 And by

00:35:31.440 the way,

00:35:31.940 they didn't

00:35:32.440 ask for

00:35:32.920 anything to

00:35:33.540 be delayed.

00:35:34.800 Ted Cruz

00:35:35.340 was simply

00:35:35.860 asking to

00:35:36.840 use the

00:35:37.260 time we

00:35:37.640 have to

00:35:38.100 do a

00:35:38.340 little

00:35:38.480 auditing.

00:35:39.100 That's

00:35:39.360 it.

00:35:40.820 That

00:35:41.080 simple

00:35:41.520 request,

00:35:42.600 fair and

00:35:43.280 reasonable,

00:35:44.500 has been

00:35:44.900 turned into

00:35:45.560 there are a

00:35:46.020 bunch of

00:35:46.500 insurrectionist,

00:35:48.100 treasonist

00:35:48.760 people who

00:35:49.340 need to be

00:35:49.820 punished

00:35:50.200 forever,

00:35:50.920 and so do

00:35:51.460 you if

00:35:51.940 you support

00:35:52.540 them.

00:35:53.500 You fucking

00:35:54.620 piece of

00:35:55.260 shit,

00:35:56.300 Jake Tapper.

00:35:57.460 You fucking

00:35:58.540 piece of

00:35:59.260 shit.

00:36:00.560 I hope you

00:36:01.140 see this.

00:36:01.800 I'm sure

00:36:02.060 somebody will

00:36:02.460 send it to

00:36:02.860 you.

00:36:03.800 Jake,

00:36:05.080 I used to

00:36:05.920 like you,

00:36:06.440 but you've

00:36:06.820 turned into

00:36:07.180 a very bad

00:36:08.000 person.

00:36:08.760 As a human

00:36:09.400 being, you

00:36:09.980 should have

00:36:10.360 something to

00:36:11.720 think about.

00:36:13.300 You've gone

00:36:13.860 way beyond

00:36:14.540 telling the

00:36:15.080 news, and

00:36:15.960 you've gone

00:36:16.380 way beyond

00:36:16.980 having an

00:36:17.460 opinion on

00:36:17.960 the news

00:36:18.320 that I

00:36:18.660 don't agree

00:36:19.120 with.

00:36:19.620 You've gone

00:36:20.180 into fucking

00:36:20.960 evil,

00:36:21.460 you are

00:36:22.520 painting your

00:36:23.180 fellow citizens

00:36:24.140 with lies and

00:36:25.860 fake fucking

00:36:26.700 news from

00:36:27.440 the fine

00:36:28.120 people hoax

00:36:28.820 to the

00:36:29.200 drinking

00:36:29.500 bleach

00:36:29.940 fucking

00:36:30.800 hoax in

00:36:31.380 your whole

00:36:31.860 fucking

00:36:32.500 illegitimate

00:36:33.940 fake news

00:36:35.000 organization,

00:36:36.100 and now

00:36:36.560 you've made

00:36:37.040 it fucking

00:36:37.660 personal.

00:36:39.220 It's

00:36:39.540 personal now,

00:36:41.000 fucking

00:36:41.520 Jake Tapper.

00:36:42.760 This is

00:36:43.180 personal.

00:36:44.060 You fucking

00:36:44.920 asshole.

00:36:46.300 You've made

00:36:47.100 it personal.

00:36:49.720 Because,

00:36:50.640 I'll tell you,

00:36:51.280 the way people

00:36:52.360 listening to you

00:36:53.080 are going to

00:36:53.420 take it is

00:36:54.940 not, I

00:36:56.480 don't know what

00:36:56.900 way you mean

00:36:57.540 it, but if

00:36:58.740 you're talking

00:36:59.140 about generating

00:37:01.320 violence in this

00:37:02.820 country by your

00:37:03.500 speech, you're

00:37:04.320 doing it now,

00:37:05.140 fucking Jake

00:37:05.800 Tapper.

00:37:06.520 You are causing

00:37:07.420 some real

00:37:08.060 fucking problems.

00:37:10.260 All right?

00:37:10.660 These are real

00:37:11.320 problems.

00:37:11.940 You're causing

00:37:12.540 them with your

00:37:13.520 way of talking.

00:37:14.940 What you could

00:37:15.560 have done to

00:37:16.140 help the country

00:37:16.740 heal would be

00:37:17.960 something along

00:37:18.740 the lines of,

00:37:19.620 hey, I know

00:37:20.520 a lot of

00:37:20.840 people had

00:37:21.200 questions with

00:37:21.900 the election,

00:37:22.880 but it'd be

00:37:23.520 better if we

00:37:24.100 moved on now,

00:37:25.020 try to fix

00:37:25.560 them next time.

00:37:26.560 Maybe, Jake

00:37:27.140 Tapper, you

00:37:27.720 could be

00:37:28.020 talking about

00:37:28.740 what the

00:37:29.620 country is

00:37:30.080 doing to

00:37:30.540 fix the

00:37:30.980 election for

00:37:31.520 the next

00:37:31.900 fucking time.

00:37:33.520 Jake

00:37:33.960 Tapper, do

00:37:34.740 you have

00:37:34.900 anything to

00:37:35.320 say about

00:37:35.740 that?

00:37:36.600 Do you

00:37:36.760 have anything

00:37:37.120 to say about

00:37:37.720 the fact that

00:37:38.520 you're not

00:37:38.840 reporting on

00:37:39.700 anything being

00:37:40.460 done to

00:37:41.220 fix the

00:37:41.920 election for

00:37:42.620 next fucking

00:37:43.480 time?

00:37:44.600 How about

00:37:45.000 that being the

00:37:45.560 most important

00:37:46.120 thing in the

00:37:46.540 country, and

00:37:47.020 you don't even

00:37:47.520 fucking mention

00:37:48.380 it, because

00:37:49.020 you're still

00:37:49.420 on revenge.

00:37:51.020 You're still

00:37:51.480 on getting

00:37:52.460 back at

00:37:53.140 these fucking

00:37:53.760 Republicans.

00:37:55.560 You small

00:37:56.300 fucking piece

00:37:57.240 of shit.

00:37:59.100 Do something

00:37:59.580 good for the

00:38:00.100 country.

00:38:01.780 Do something

00:38:02.320 good for the

00:38:03.120 country.

00:38:07.760 Speaking of

00:38:08.840 pieces of

00:38:09.680 shit, Congress,

00:38:12.160 the Democrats,

00:38:12.920 seem unable

00:38:16.460 to read the

00:38:17.060 fucking room.

00:38:19.200 Because here's

00:38:20.140 my feeling.

00:38:22.220 Was it

00:38:23.000 appropriate for

00:38:24.220 Democrats to

00:38:25.180 criticize Republicans

00:38:26.480 and protesters?

00:38:28.860 Sure.

00:38:29.920 Criticism is

00:38:30.640 always appropriate.

00:38:31.820 Always.

00:38:32.800 We like a

00:38:33.620 good free

00:38:34.660 speech and

00:38:35.300 give and

00:38:35.620 take.

00:38:36.220 So no

00:38:36.700 problem with

00:38:37.260 anybody's

00:38:37.840 opinions.

00:38:38.760 opinions.

00:38:40.540 And I

00:38:41.160 don't have

00:38:41.440 any problem

00:38:41.900 with anybody

00:38:42.700 who broke

00:38:43.080 any laws being

00:38:43.840 punished to the

00:38:44.500 full extent of

00:38:45.140 the law.

00:38:46.060 Although there

00:38:47.280 is a real

00:38:47.740 question about

00:38:48.300 free will here

00:38:49.200 and brainwashing,

00:38:50.760 et cetera.

00:38:51.580 So I wouldn't

00:38:52.560 give them

00:38:53.040 anything like

00:38:53.960 bad sentences.

00:38:57.940 I mean, I would

00:38:58.620 do suspended

00:38:59.340 sentences if I

00:39:00.400 were in charge

00:39:01.480 of that.

00:39:02.420 But something,

00:39:03.340 you know, there

00:39:03.840 has to be some

00:39:04.540 response from the

00:39:05.300 legal system for

00:39:06.220 sure.

00:39:08.120 But here's the

00:39:09.040 problem.

00:39:11.460 There's a limit

00:39:12.400 to how far

00:39:13.400 normal people

00:39:15.640 are willing to

00:39:16.300 be pushed.

00:39:17.960 And I think I

00:39:18.820 just reached my

00:39:19.460 limit.

00:39:21.160 So it's one

00:39:22.140 thing to say,

00:39:22.920 ah-ha, you

00:39:23.700 know, you're a

00:39:24.260 bad person because

00:39:25.100 you were associated

00:39:25.920 with Trump or

00:39:26.820 whatever.

00:39:27.320 Okay.

00:39:28.660 That's just

00:39:29.200 free speech.

00:39:30.540 It's just

00:39:30.940 opinion.

00:39:31.860 But when you

00:39:32.420 start making it

00:39:33.380 like it's some

00:39:34.900 kind of national

00:39:35.720 priority to

00:39:36.560 punish people

00:39:38.720 who had a

00:39:39.280 different political

00:39:40.080 opinion and

00:39:41.260 punish people

00:39:42.560 who don't think

00:39:43.920 that our election

00:39:44.600 system was

00:39:46.380 transparent,

00:39:47.780 you've gone too

00:39:49.220 far.

00:39:50.240 And when you

00:39:50.940 take President

00:39:51.600 Trump, who is

00:39:52.280 out of office and

00:39:53.240 is no risk to

00:39:54.060 anybody and there's

00:39:54.920 no chance he's

00:39:55.640 going to run and

00:39:56.360 win an election,

00:39:57.780 there's no chance.

00:39:59.360 And you're just

00:40:00.020 making this a

00:40:00.780 complete waste of

00:40:01.620 time.

00:40:02.400 And you've

00:40:03.120 decided that you

00:40:03.860 can't do your

00:40:04.540 regular work,

00:40:05.340 which is

00:40:05.600 essential.

00:40:06.820 Essential.

00:40:08.020 The normal

00:40:08.500 work of getting

00:40:09.200 out the stimulus

00:40:10.900 stuff, getting

00:40:12.860 people nominated

00:40:13.960 so they can do

00:40:14.660 the work of

00:40:15.200 the government.

00:40:16.200 Somehow, without

00:40:16.840 all these

00:40:17.340 nominations, there's

00:40:18.200 no chaos in the

00:40:19.080 Biden administration.

00:40:20.480 It's amazing.

00:40:21.780 It's amazing.

00:40:23.000 Or it could be

00:40:23.940 that there's just

00:40:24.520 bad reporting.

00:40:25.340 We don't know.

00:40:27.460 But here's my

00:40:28.440 bottom line on

00:40:29.180 this.

00:40:30.600 Going hard at

00:40:31.700 Trump when he's

00:40:32.520 in office,

00:40:33.620 perfectly acceptable.

00:40:36.000 Going hard at

00:40:37.020 him as hard as

00:40:38.080 you want to go

00:40:38.840 while he's in

00:40:39.780 office.

00:40:40.940 Makes sense.

00:40:42.400 We have that

00:40:43.020 system.

00:40:43.540 I wouldn't object

00:40:44.200 to it.

00:40:45.400 But going hard at

00:40:46.520 him after he's

00:40:47.460 out of office is

00:40:49.640 really going after

00:40:50.700 me and many of

00:40:54.120 you.

00:40:55.400 Because this isn't

00:40:56.420 about Trump

00:40:57.040 anymore, is it?

00:40:58.280 It really isn't.

00:40:59.380 This is about the

00:41:00.240 people who supported

00:41:01.080 him.

00:41:02.200 This is about the

00:41:03.240 public.

00:41:04.600 This is personal.

00:41:07.460 Criticizing politics,

00:41:09.000 well, that's just

00:41:09.620 politics.

00:41:11.380 This part of the

00:41:13.160 Trump saga, the

00:41:15.020 part where they're

00:41:15.740 going to take two

00:41:16.520 weeks out of the

00:41:17.640 public's time for

00:41:18.780 Congress, and

00:41:20.260 they're going to

00:41:20.740 grind on him, just

00:41:23.280 to grind on you.

00:41:25.140 This is personal.

00:41:27.220 This has nothing to

00:41:28.120 do with politics.

00:41:28.940 It's personal.

00:41:30.240 And I take it

00:41:31.460 personally.

00:41:32.800 So to the

00:41:33.280 Democrats who are

00:41:34.220 pushing this

00:41:35.100 completely fucking

00:41:37.700 useless waste of

00:41:40.180 fucking time, I

00:41:42.800 take it personally.

00:41:44.740 And every one of

00:41:46.540 you fucking

00:41:47.300 assholes who

00:41:49.220 wants to make

00:41:49.900 this personal

00:41:50.960 vendetta, this

00:41:52.380 revenge-filled

00:41:53.660 fucking bullshit,

00:41:55.980 if you want to

00:41:56.880 waste my fucking

00:41:57.860 time doing this,

00:41:58.820 punishing me, go

00:42:01.180 ahead.

00:42:02.260 But read the

00:42:03.100 fucking room.

00:42:04.680 Because this isn't

00:42:05.480 going to be free.

00:42:07.140 If you think you

00:42:08.120 have a free punch,

00:42:09.820 you're fucking

00:42:10.700 wrong.

00:42:11.980 Because I don't

00:42:13.960 get mad that

00:42:14.860 easily, but I'm

00:42:17.260 there.

00:42:18.600 If you can't make

00:42:19.840 this impeachment

00:42:21.220 thing trial go

00:42:22.460 away, you're

00:42:24.480 fucking pieces of

00:42:26.560 shit.

00:42:27.420 You don't care

00:42:28.280 about the

00:42:28.680 country, you

00:42:29.460 don't care about

00:42:30.100 a fucking thing

00:42:31.020 except revenge, and

00:42:32.740 you suck.

00:42:34.760 And there

00:42:36.520 should be some

00:42:37.140 way to make a

00:42:39.700 penalty for this.

00:42:40.540 an editor for the

00:42:45.860 Daily Beast

00:42:46.600 wrote at me when

00:42:49.420 I said the

00:42:50.200 Democrats should

00:42:50.840 read the

00:42:51.160 fucking room.

00:42:52.260 And he tweeted

00:42:52.700 back a picture of

00:42:53.920 one of the

00:42:55.380 protesters with a

00:42:57.660 Confederate flag

00:42:59.420 standing in the

00:43:00.280 Capitol building.

00:43:01.300 And he said,

00:43:02.220 this room?

00:43:05.820 To which I say,

00:43:07.220 fuck you,

00:43:07.900 Daily Beast.

00:43:08.620 Fuck you.

00:43:10.500 That wasn't me in

00:43:11.680 there with the

00:43:12.140 flag.

00:43:13.000 It's not clever.

00:43:14.640 We know there

00:43:15.260 were people in a

00:43:16.080 room.

00:43:16.740 You know that's

00:43:17.320 not the point.

00:43:19.940 Just fuck you.

00:43:22.240 Just fuck every

00:43:23.420 one of you who

00:43:24.620 thinks that

00:43:25.960 punishing these

00:43:27.420 people to punish

00:43:28.400 the rest of us

00:43:29.360 is a good idea.

00:43:31.980 It's not a good

00:43:33.040 idea.

00:43:34.080 It's a really

00:43:34.680 bad idea.

00:43:35.420 I'm going to

00:43:39.760 have to run for

00:43:40.340 president.

00:43:43.420 All right.

00:43:44.660 That is my

00:43:46.880 angry screed for

00:43:48.040 the day.

00:43:50.180 Can you reflect on

00:43:51.440 the immediate 60

00:43:52.460 day stand down?

00:43:53.600 I don't know what

00:43:54.020 that is.

00:43:55.040 There's a 60 day

00:43:56.080 stand down of

00:43:56.880 what?

00:43:57.100 somebody says

00:44:02.060 the person

00:44:02.480 with the

00:44:03.200 flag was

00:44:03.860 Antifa.

00:44:05.100 Well,

00:44:05.680 I doubt it.

00:44:07.680 But there

00:44:08.080 could be some

00:44:08.840 Antifa

00:44:12.900 element there,

00:44:14.320 but I don't

00:44:14.640 think that's

00:44:15.020 the whole

00:44:15.280 story.

00:44:21.780 Jake's going

00:44:22.400 to get you,

00:44:22.860 somebody says.

00:44:27.100 You and

00:44:28.160 Candace?

00:44:32.840 All right.

00:44:33.480 I'm just looking

00:44:33.860 at your

00:44:34.120 comments.

00:44:35.720 I have your

00:44:36.520 vote.

00:44:37.680 You know,

00:44:38.060 the thing is

00:44:38.820 that if anybody

00:44:40.300 who looked at

00:44:40.920 me on paper

00:44:42.180 would say to

00:44:43.440 themselves,

00:44:44.680 well,

00:44:44.960 there's no way

00:44:45.380 he could get

00:44:45.820 elected.

00:44:47.720 But you

00:44:49.300 have no idea

00:44:50.020 what my

00:44:50.540 capabilities are.

00:44:51.900 You have no

00:44:52.420 idea.

00:44:54.340 One of the

00:44:55.000 weird things

00:44:55.500 about having

00:44:56.220 my weird

00:44:57.500 skill set

00:44:58.200 for persuasion

00:44:59.700 and once

00:45:00.140 you become

00:45:00.900 a hypnotist,

00:45:02.060 one of the

00:45:02.500 things that

00:45:02.940 occurs to

00:45:03.560 you is that

00:45:04.480 you can't

00:45:05.160 use your

00:45:05.680 full power.

00:45:06.920 Now,

00:45:07.080 if there's

00:45:07.300 anybody out

00:45:07.860 here who

00:45:09.140 has studied

00:45:09.980 hypnosis and

00:45:10.840 you've actually

00:45:11.480 become a

00:45:12.000 hypnotist,

00:45:12.940 I'll bet

00:45:13.400 you've had

00:45:13.780 the same

00:45:14.180 thought,

00:45:15.000 haven't you?

00:45:15.940 Which is,

00:45:16.660 it's a little

00:45:17.080 bit too much

00:45:17.680 power for a

00:45:18.420 person.

00:45:19.420 And you

00:45:19.740 have to make

00:45:20.200 this decision

00:45:20.940 about how

00:45:22.160 much to use

00:45:23.300 your persuasive

00:45:25.320 ability.

00:45:26.220 Because if

00:45:26.740 you use

00:45:27.080 it too

00:45:27.380 much,

00:45:27.680 you're just

00:45:27.940 eliminating

00:45:28.440 people's

00:45:29.560 free will,

00:45:30.440 basically,

00:45:31.580 if you took

00:45:32.520 it to the

00:45:32.880 max.

00:45:33.960 And I

00:45:34.720 would not

00:45:35.080 find that

00:45:35.660 ethical or

00:45:37.100 moral.

00:45:38.120 So in my

00:45:38.840 case,

00:45:39.380 I make a

00:45:40.500 conscious effort

00:45:42.080 to not be as

00:45:43.320 persuasive as I

00:45:44.340 could be,

00:45:45.320 depending on the

00:45:46.020 topic.

00:45:48.080 And I do

00:45:48.880 that because I'm

00:45:49.640 aware of,

00:45:50.620 it's like being a

00:45:51.260 prize fighter.

00:45:52.040 You can't get in a

00:45:52.940 street fight if

00:45:54.320 you're a prize

00:45:55.480 fighter.

00:45:56.120 Where's that

00:45:56.740 old-time term

00:45:57.520 come from?

00:45:58.280 If you're a

00:45:58.800 professional boxer,

00:45:59.720 you can't get in a

00:46:00.520 street fight,

00:46:01.560 because if you

00:46:02.120 kill the guy,

00:46:03.340 you had a deadly

00:46:04.300 weapon because

00:46:04.900 you're a professional

00:46:05.560 boxer, blah,

00:46:07.060 blah.

00:46:07.360 So hypnotists have

00:46:08.320 a similar thing,

00:46:09.700 which is you have

00:46:10.920 to make this

00:46:11.440 decision about

00:46:12.980 whether to

00:46:13.720 change people's

00:46:15.320 minds,

00:46:16.300 and whether you

00:46:17.100 have the right to

00:46:17.800 do that.

00:46:18.820 Do you have a

00:46:19.360 right to change

00:46:20.740 somebody's mind?

00:46:21.540 It's an

00:46:23.600 interesting question,

00:46:24.420 isn't it?

00:46:25.140 I mean, we do.

00:46:26.520 I mean, legally we

00:46:27.380 have the right, but

00:46:28.600 is it morally and

00:46:29.560 ethically right to

00:46:31.320 change somebody's

00:46:32.120 mind about

00:46:32.880 something?

00:46:35.640 Within reason it

00:46:36.740 is, but there's a

00:46:38.260 point beyond which

00:46:39.560 it is no longer

00:46:40.240 reasonable.

00:46:42.000 All right.

00:46:43.740 I can't wait to

00:46:44.760 see your campaign

00:46:45.420 ads.

00:46:45.920 I don't know if I

00:46:46.560 would campaign.

00:46:47.520 If I ran for

00:46:48.280 president, I don't

00:46:49.080 think I would even

00:46:49.720 leave the House.

00:46:51.540 Because why

00:46:52.360 should I?

00:46:53.300 What is there that

00:46:54.300 I could do in

00:46:54.880 person that I

00:46:55.600 couldn't do on

00:46:57.660 video?

00:46:58.680 Nothing.

00:46:59.540 I could run the

00:47:00.240 entire campaign

00:47:00.980 without leaving the

00:47:01.680 House.

00:47:04.880 How would you

00:47:05.840 debate Trump?

00:47:07.740 I wouldn't.

00:47:08.860 If Trump were in

00:47:10.020 the election, I

00:47:11.940 wouldn't run.

00:47:14.080 Go after China?

00:47:15.900 Yeah, well,

00:47:17.800 China would have

00:47:19.420 to kill

00:47:21.500 me.

00:47:22.320 If it looked

00:47:23.380 like I were

00:47:23.880 going to become

00:47:24.620 president, China

00:47:26.100 would probably

00:47:26.520 have to have me

00:47:27.340 taken out

00:47:27.800 somehow.

00:47:30.000 Because China

00:47:30.760 would not be in

00:47:31.440 for a good run

00:47:32.220 if I were

00:47:33.260 president.

00:47:37.960 Where does the

00:47:39.920 Republican Party

00:47:40.560 go from here?

00:47:41.340 Well, the

00:47:41.760 Republican Party

00:47:42.480 has a real

00:47:43.060 problem that they

00:47:43.800 don't have a

00:47:44.240 leader.

00:47:45.340 Now, on paper,

00:47:46.640 Trump is sort of

00:47:48.120 a leader, but he's

00:47:49.180 missing in action.

00:47:50.920 Who exactly is the

00:47:52.640 leader of the

00:47:53.200 Republican Party?

00:47:54.620 Because if you

00:47:55.380 don't have a leader,

00:47:56.680 it doesn't really

00:47:57.380 have a brand,

00:47:58.860 per se.

00:47:59.860 And nobody has

00:48:00.920 emerged.

00:48:01.500 It's a little too

00:48:02.060 early.

00:48:03.000 There's too much

00:48:03.940 Trump hanging over

00:48:05.620 everything.

00:48:06.400 So it's a little too

00:48:07.120 early for anybody to

00:48:08.020 emerge.

00:48:08.780 You're seeing Tom

00:48:09.840 Cotton.

00:48:11.220 Tom Cotton is

00:48:12.120 clearly trying to

00:48:13.840 make some space for

00:48:14.700 himself.

00:48:15.240 Matt Gaetz.

00:48:17.040 You see Rand Paul.

00:48:20.980 So those are the

00:48:21.820 ones who are sort

00:48:23.480 of floating up in

00:48:24.540 prominence, but

00:48:26.120 we'll see.

00:48:30.880 Would you admit

00:48:31.840 the president can't

00:48:33.080 control CO2?

00:48:37.520 Well, why would I

00:48:39.360 admit that?

00:48:40.400 Because the

00:48:41.020 president can

00:48:42.000 control CO2.

00:48:42.940 a little bit.

00:48:45.600 The president

00:48:46.180 can't control

00:48:46.880 most of it,

00:48:48.040 but they can

00:48:48.920 control a little

00:48:49.520 bit.

00:48:51.780 Biden didn't

00:48:52.580 even campaign.

00:48:53.420 Yeah.

00:48:54.000 You know, if you

00:48:55.060 look at the

00:48:55.480 Biden example,

00:48:57.180 campaigning didn't

00:48:59.100 seem that important.

00:49:01.040 It didn't seem

00:49:01.580 that important.

00:49:07.000 You know, if I

00:49:07.980 ran for president,

00:49:08.800 all they would

00:49:09.260 talk about is

00:49:09.880 that I'm a

00:49:10.460 hypnotist, and

00:49:11.260 it would just

00:49:11.580 make everybody

00:49:12.400 crazy.

00:49:13.940 Because they

00:49:14.460 wouldn't know,

00:49:15.560 you know, the

00:49:15.940 stories would be,

00:49:16.740 we can't tell,

00:49:17.360 is he hypnotizing

00:49:18.040 us?

00:49:18.900 Is this

00:49:19.340 hypnosis?

00:49:20.420 Wait a minute.

00:49:21.280 Does he believe

00:49:21.840 this, or is he

00:49:22.380 just saying this?

00:49:23.560 It would make

00:49:24.060 them, the news

00:49:24.880 business would be

00:49:25.500 crazy.

00:49:27.960 Let me tell you,

00:49:29.060 since,

00:49:32.680 the only way I'd

00:49:34.520 run for president

00:49:35.120 is if I were so

00:49:36.080 mad that I didn't

00:49:37.660 care what happened

00:49:38.280 to myself.

00:49:38.900 like, if I lost

00:49:40.560 all fear of

00:49:42.080 personal harm,

00:49:43.860 and that happens

00:49:44.620 to me if I get

00:49:45.240 mad enough.

00:49:46.360 I'm not there

00:49:47.120 yet, but I'm

00:49:47.860 getting close.

00:49:52.220 But you would

00:49:52.860 have to know that

00:49:53.480 you would be

00:49:53.880 destroying your own

00:49:54.780 life to run for

00:49:55.740 president.

00:49:56.120 I think that's

00:49:57.080 kind of built into

00:49:58.420 the process now,

00:49:59.340 unfortunately.

00:50:00.640 So being president

00:50:01.940 of this country is

00:50:02.920 sort of a kamikaze

00:50:04.000 pilot run.

00:50:05.260 you don't come

00:50:06.880 back.

00:50:07.760 It's sort of a

00:50:08.340 one-way trip.

00:50:09.660 So maybe it's

00:50:10.580 better if you're a

00:50:11.240 certain age,

00:50:11.940 because your life

00:50:12.460 is over when

00:50:13.060 you're done,

00:50:14.000 in the current

00:50:14.800 system.

00:50:20.700 You would not

00:50:21.580 win, trust me.

00:50:23.260 I would.

00:50:27.280 All right.

00:50:29.580 If you were that

00:50:30.460 good, the media

00:50:31.140 would never

00:50:31.600 criticize you.

00:50:32.480 No, the media

00:50:34.480 criticizes, that's

00:50:35.540 what they do.

00:50:36.440 It doesn't matter

00:50:37.160 what you do.

00:50:38.160 If you think that

00:50:39.260 criticism follows

00:50:41.480 actions, you

00:50:43.060 haven't been paying

00:50:43.700 attention.

00:50:44.840 Criticism follows

00:50:45.840 team.

00:50:47.280 The team

00:50:48.080 criticizes the

00:50:48.920 other team.

00:50:49.480 That's just how

00:50:50.140 the game is played.

00:50:50.960 It has nothing to

00:50:51.580 do with what the

00:50:52.600 other team is

00:50:53.100 actually doing.

00:50:57.860 So let me make

00:50:59.960 you this promise.

00:51:00.800 if I ran for

00:51:03.040 president or

00:51:03.740 somebody decided

00:51:04.480 to take me

00:51:05.120 out, there

00:51:06.040 would immediately

00:51:06.720 be a number

00:51:07.480 of stories about

00:51:08.280 my personal

00:51:09.060 life that you

00:51:11.620 would hear that

00:51:12.240 would be very

00:51:12.760 interesting.

00:51:14.840 Meaning that it

00:51:15.920 would be things

00:51:16.520 that would be

00:51:17.360 designed to make

00:51:18.340 you say, he

00:51:19.520 did that in his

00:51:20.440 personal life?

00:51:21.780 Well, I can't

00:51:22.700 vote for that.

00:51:25.800 But here's the

00:51:26.740 rule you should

00:51:27.300 take.

00:51:27.580 you've heard

00:51:28.520 the, what

00:51:31.100 you call it,

00:51:31.520 the Gell

00:51:32.500 Mann amnesia

00:51:33.660 theory that if

00:51:35.180 you happen to be

00:51:35.780 famous and you

00:51:36.520 see stories about

00:51:37.320 yourself in the

00:51:38.100 news, you know

00:51:39.180 those stories are

00:51:40.000 false.

00:51:40.700 In fact, I was

00:51:41.460 just, I just

00:51:42.400 googled something

00:51:43.120 yesterday and it

00:51:44.480 brought up some

00:51:44.980 stories that

00:51:45.520 included me.

00:51:46.580 And I'm reading

00:51:47.200 the stories and

00:51:47.820 every bit of it

00:51:48.960 is just wrong.

00:51:50.520 Like, I know it

00:51:51.680 because the story

00:51:52.500 is about me.

00:51:53.860 But, I mean,

00:51:54.440 just basic

00:51:55.180 biographical,

00:51:57.160 you know, what

00:51:57.620 year things

00:51:58.340 happened or why

00:51:59.260 something happened

00:52:00.080 just completely

00:52:01.060 made up crap.

00:52:02.840 And I know that

00:52:03.800 the stories about

00:52:04.420 me are just made

00:52:05.060 up.

00:52:05.860 But you don't.

00:52:07.580 You think stories

00:52:08.420 about famous

00:52:09.040 people are probably

00:52:10.480 usually mostly

00:52:11.680 true, right?

00:52:13.260 Not even close.

00:52:14.760 Stories about

00:52:15.460 famous people are

00:52:16.440 usually false.

00:52:18.180 Usually.

00:52:18.860 Because at least

00:52:19.640 there's context

00:52:20.400 left out.

00:52:21.380 And the stories

00:52:21.980 about me are

00:52:22.540 usually false and

00:52:23.820 have been for

00:52:24.480 30 years that

00:52:25.920 I've been tracking

00:52:26.420 it.

00:52:26.780 Usually very

00:52:28.200 misleading.

00:52:28.940 Usually.

00:52:29.900 Not sometimes.

00:52:31.740 Usually.

00:52:33.140 If you don't

00:52:33.880 understand the

00:52:34.600 usually part, you

00:52:36.360 don't understand

00:52:36.960 anything about

00:52:37.760 the news.

00:52:38.620 So, if I ran

00:52:40.980 for president, you

00:52:41.640 would see a bunch

00:52:42.140 of stories about

00:52:42.820 me.

00:52:43.580 How would you

00:52:44.360 know if they

00:52:44.820 were true?

00:52:46.560 Because you

00:52:47.200 would hear stuff

00:52:47.940 that would be

00:52:49.140 just like shocking.

00:52:50.140 I don't even

00:52:50.460 know what it

00:52:50.740 would be.

00:52:51.420 Because most of

00:52:52.240 it wouldn't be

00:52:52.800 true.

00:52:53.820 Or it would

00:52:54.340 be stuff that's

00:52:54.940 true, but it's

00:52:55.740 out of context, so

00:52:56.700 it looks bad when

00:52:57.520 it really wasn't,

00:52:58.400 right?

00:52:59.140 So, what

00:53:00.020 percentage of

00:53:01.360 those would you

00:53:01.920 guess are true?

00:53:04.920 Probably not

00:53:05.560 many, if any.

00:53:07.240 So, here is the

00:53:08.720 advice I would

00:53:09.560 give you.

00:53:10.440 If I run for

00:53:11.200 president, someday,

00:53:13.860 you should assume

00:53:14.900 that all of the

00:53:15.760 stories about my

00:53:16.800 personal life are

00:53:17.820 true.

00:53:19.480 All of them.

00:53:20.580 Just assume

00:53:21.060 they're all true.

00:53:21.580 except anything

00:53:23.900 that alleges I

00:53:24.800 broke a law,

00:53:26.100 because that's

00:53:26.620 probably not

00:53:27.140 true.

00:53:28.060 But anything

00:53:28.620 that looked like

00:53:29.860 it wasn't a

00:53:30.440 breaking of law,

00:53:31.240 but it was just

00:53:31.720 really bad

00:53:32.340 behavior, just

00:53:33.760 like really bad

00:53:34.540 behavior, assume

00:53:36.080 it's true.

00:53:37.060 Because if I

00:53:37.900 couldn't win the

00:53:38.560 presidency anyway,

00:53:40.920 I'd be surprised.

00:53:43.380 You could assume

00:53:44.340 every bad thing

00:53:45.400 about me that

00:53:46.040 isn't against the

00:53:46.780 law is completely

00:53:48.380 true.

00:53:48.720 It won't be.

00:53:49.580 Of course, it's

00:53:50.180 not going to be

00:53:50.580 true.

00:53:51.140 It's going to be

00:53:51.700 75% false, at

00:53:53.880 least, if not

00:53:54.980 100.

00:53:56.760 But I wouldn't

00:53:57.760 even talk you

00:53:58.440 out of it.

00:53:58.920 If somebody

00:53:59.380 said, oh, Scott,

00:54:00.760 you did X or

00:54:01.800 Y, and it was

00:54:02.980 just like the

00:54:03.480 worst sounding

00:54:04.080 thing you'd ever

00:54:04.680 heard in your

00:54:05.080 life, but it

00:54:06.440 wasn't illegal,

00:54:08.560 do you know

00:54:08.920 what I'd say?

00:54:09.780 I'd prefer you

00:54:10.700 believe that.

00:54:12.380 I'm not going

00:54:13.020 to talk you out

00:54:13.620 of anything

00:54:13.980 interesting.

00:54:14.900 If you think I

00:54:15.780 did something with

00:54:16.520 a gerbil that

00:54:18.340 didn't hurt the

00:54:19.000 gerbil, okay,

00:54:22.380 fine with me,

00:54:24.480 go ahead and

00:54:25.300 believe it.

00:54:26.220 In fact, if it

00:54:26.960 makes me more

00:54:27.480 interesting, A

00:54:29.780 plus.

00:54:30.740 So yeah, just

00:54:32.120 make up any

00:54:32.900 story you want.

00:54:34.080 The thing that

00:54:34.620 makes me dangerous

00:54:35.320 is that I'm not

00:54:36.260 beholden to

00:54:36.860 anybody.

00:54:38.820 I'm just not.

00:54:41.700 So I don't

00:54:42.400 know how often

00:54:43.380 you can get a

00:54:44.080 president who is

00:54:44.700 not beholden to

00:54:45.460 anybody, but I

00:54:47.760 would be one.

00:54:53.720 Taking people

00:54:54.520 out of it is

00:54:55.080 the whole point

00:54:55.640 of a smear

00:54:56.180 story, yeah.

00:54:58.620 Christina would

00:54:59.320 be an elegant

00:54:59.820 first lady.

00:55:00.680 She'd be

00:55:00.980 terrific.

00:55:02.040 She'd hate it.

00:55:03.320 I don't think

00:55:03.980 she would like

00:55:04.480 the job, so.

00:55:08.480 I'd really have

00:55:09.340 to be angry to

00:55:10.100 run for president

00:55:10.780 because it would

00:55:11.180 be bad for the

00:55:11.820 marriage.

00:55:13.740 All right, that's

00:55:14.700 all for now, and

00:55:15.300 I will talk to

00:55:15.860 you later.

00:55:17.400 Remember that

00:55:18.100 Periscope will

00:55:18.820 go away in

00:55:19.840 the, I think

00:55:21.460 in March, and

00:55:23.400 so you'll always

00:55:24.200 find me live on

00:55:25.440 live stream on

00:55:26.440 YouTube, which I

00:55:27.580 run simultaneously,

00:55:29.480 and so when

00:55:30.660 Periscope is gone,

00:55:32.040 just look for me

00:55:32.660 on YouTube, just

00:55:33.620 Google Real

00:55:35.080 Coffee with Scott

00:55:35.860 Adams, or look

00:55:36.620 in my Twitter

00:55:37.120 feed.

00:55:37.600 It'll always be

00:55:38.420 there near the

00:55:38.960 top.

00:55:39.720 And that is all,

00:55:41.100 and I will talk

00:55:41.620 to you tomorrow.

00:55:42.800 All right,

00:55:46.140 YouTubers, I've

00:55:47.500 got another

00:55:48.140 minute with you.

00:55:51.680 Hey, aloha.

00:55:53.620 How's Hawaii?

00:55:57.200 They'd say I

00:55:58.000 left my ex-wife

00:55:58.900 for a younger

00:55:59.880 woman.

00:56:00.560 Yeah, they would

00:56:01.020 say all of that

00:56:01.560 stuff.

00:56:05.840 How do they?

00:56:09.660 All right, just

00:56:10.540 looking at your

00:56:11.160 comments.

00:56:12.800 All right, thanks

00:56:19.620 for all your

00:56:19.980 comments.

00:56:21.200 I'm not ready to

00:56:22.200 run for president

00:56:22.880 yet, but that

00:56:26.020 would be fun.

00:56:27.520 You know, if I

00:56:28.400 picked a vice

00:56:29.400 president, I would

00:56:30.380 have to do what

00:56:31.200 Trump did.

00:56:32.380 So Trump picked

00:56:33.400 Pence so that

00:56:34.700 there was one

00:56:35.260 person who knew

00:56:36.120 how government

00:56:36.700 worked in the

00:56:38.460 team, and I

00:56:39.560 would do the

00:56:39.940 same thing.

00:56:40.640 If I ran for

00:56:41.480 president, I would

00:56:42.180 pick as a

00:56:42.780 running mate,

00:56:44.160 a traditional

00:56:45.000 probably a

00:56:47.220 congressperson or

00:56:48.180 a governor or

00:56:48.720 something like

00:56:49.040 that.

00:56:51.440 But I can't

00:56:52.220 imagine any real

00:56:54.580 politician who

00:56:55.320 would want to be

00:56:55.800 my running mate.

00:56:59.180 All right, that's

00:57:00.320 it for now.

00:57:00.800 I'll talk to you

00:57:01.220 tomorrow.

00:57:01.460 tomorrow.

00:57:01.900 I'll talk to you

00:57:03.900 tomorrow.

00:57:04.400 I'll talk to you

00:57:04.900 tomorrow.

00:57:05.400 I'll talk to you

00:57:05.900 tomorrow.
